What do you do when Booksmart crashes repeatedly and Customer "Service" refuses to respond?
I've been trying to upload a book since Saturday night. It has crashed perhaps 30 times. Sometimes the second I hit "order book," and sometimes it will upload almost the entire project.
I've also tried exporting the book and Booksmart crashes exactly the same when I try that.
I contacted customer service Monday and "Melanie" gave me a boilerplate response within a couple hours. Reinstall Booksmart, fill out a crash report, send a log. It wasn't creating logs — of the dozens of crashes, I have one log in my Library in the past six weeks.
She also said to fill out the crash report that pops up each time it crashes and put in my e mail address. I've done that dozens of times — not even an acknowledgement.
I told "Melanie" all of this Wednesday and since then ….. nothing. Booksmart does faithfully continue to crash regularly and hold my book hostage.
I'm sorry, but if your Customer Service is so overwhelmed with problems that you can't get to follow-ups in 48 hours, you have a pretty basic customer service problem. If you already put somebody through the queue the first time and your solution didn't work, the callback should be maybe an hour.
Does anyone have a suggestion either how I can get around the crashes or get somebody from Customer Service to contact me?
Hi lreed7649,
Sorry to hear support hasn't solved your issue yet. Part of the delay can be caused by responding repeatedly to a single ticket. This only sets you back in your CSR's queue, so please try to refrain from doing this (I know it is not always easy if it seems there is radio silence from our end).
The email address added to crash reports is for reference purposes only and we don't respond directly to these (it helps link your crash to your ticket as submitted crashes are otherwise anonymous).
I've escalated your incident so hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this soon.

You could soon be able to enjoy a nice dinner outside in Henderson.
Henderson City Commission considered allowing sidewalk dining downtown at their meeting Tuesday night.
If you've been to Commonwealth Kitchen and Bar, one of Henderson's newest restaurants, you may have noticed it's crowded. That's one of the reasons why its owner Jayson Munoz says he would love to see some sidewalk seating.
Henderson Mayor Steve Austin says the option to eat outside would apply only to the downtown district, and says it will help develop that area.
According to the ordinance, outdoor dining would be available until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Restaurants will have to follow several guidelines and also be responsible to keep the sidewalk area clean.
Mayor Austin says he thinks visitors will enjoy the added option.
"It's just another little piece of getting it together. We have a lot of folks now coming from Evansville and Union and Webster Counties and surrounding areas to eat, and I think it just adds another little piece to our downtown," says the mayor.
Tuesday was the first reading of the ordnance. The second reading will be in two weeks. If it gets approved, it will go immediately into effect.

WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (NEWS RELEASE) -- The University of the Cumberlands honored one of its former standout baseball players over the weekend, Jason Ellis.
Fallen Bardstown Police Officer, Jason Ellis, had his number five baseball jersey retired. In front of his wife, Amy and his two sons Parker and Hunter Cumberlands Head Baseball coach Brad Shelton presented the Ellis family with a framed game jersey of Ellis' and announced the "Jason Ellis Man of Character Award." This award will be given out annually. A commemorative sign was also unveiled on the right field wall, becoming the first number in program history to be retired.

Improve Skills
This was my first time at volleyball camp. I was really nervous about the coach and college team. I knew my skill level wasn't that great but it improved greatly once the camp was over. I got great feedback from college players and the coach on what I had to do to get better:)
Gain Skill Knowledge
Our daughter enjoyed the Nike volleyball camp at Seattle University. She gained confidence, experience, and skill knowledge. She is looking forward to a successful season with her improved knowledge and skills.
Gain Confidence
My daughter loved the volleyball camp. She gained tremendous confidence and self assurance.
Very Professional
This was a very "professionally" run Volleyball Camp. The skill level of the coaches was the best you can get. I will definately send my daughter back next year.
Great camp
It's fun, at a convenient location, and kids get to interact with each other and really get learn to improve their skills. Active and amazing coaches that know what they're doing. Just an overall great camp!
Happy parent
For anyone considering learning the game of volleyball, this was an excellent camp. Our daughter was thrilled with the instruction she recieved and loved the overall experience. Because of the professionalism and attention to detail, she is now wanting to continue with our local
NIKE VOLLEYBALL CAMP is awesome! It is highly recommended. This is my fourth nike volleyball camp and I've loved each one!
Good for all ability levels
My daughter came to camp having never played Volleyball. She left with skills of someone who had been playing for years.
Could not have been better!
"The Seattle University Volleyball program is comprised of quality coaches and players. These wonderful young women served as excellent role models for what young players could be aspiring to become as student athletes. They provided a fun, safe and developmental camp experience! The camp could not have been better. My daughter can't wait to go to the SU games and return again next year."
Best learning experience
"Nike Volleyball camp was the best learning experience I have encountered in comparison to other camps. The staff was knowledgable and fun. I can't wait to return next year!"
Fun coaches and a beautiful campus
"My daughter had never been to a volleyball camp before and had no real experience. She came out all smiles and said it was a great camp. The coaches were fun and the campus beautiful! Thank you for offering a camp for beginners and younger girls! We look forwrd to another Nike camp in the future!"
HUGE confidence boost!
"My 10 year old daughter took her somewhat beginning level skills to intermediate in one week. She loves volleyball and had a wonderful week which was a HUGE confidence boost!"

Educational Resources
Do you ever wish your child had easy access to additional skill practice at home? Do you sometimes wonder exactly what skills your child needs to work on? Now you can have both!
Below are tips for accessing some of the same information through the computer that your child and his or her teachers use at school, including: Compass Odyssey, Renaissance Learning, as well as reading, math, and science textbook websites.
All you need is a computer with internet access and a recent version of the following: Flash Player, Shockwave Player, Java, or Acrobat Reader. If you do not have a computer with internet at home, the Statesboro Regional Library provides this service. Computers will also be available in the Parent Resource Centers located in each of the schools.
Please contact your child's teacher if you have questions.
Elementary Instructional Resources
Compass Odyssey
Compass Odyssey works automatically with MAP in grades 2-5. When your child takes a MAP test, new Compass Odyssey activities are assigned (usually within 24 hours) appropriate for his or her RIT band ranges in each domain, such as measurement or comprehension. This helps you determine what skills your child needs to practice for improvement, and your child has appropriate, extra practice available at all times. If you need to see the whole list of skills for your child, contact your teacher and request a copy of his/her DesCartes Skills.
Harcourt/Houghton-Mifflin: Science
Select your school (and district/state if it does not come up automatically)
Houghton-Mifflin: Math

Feels bad, man
May 20, 2012
My spouse is under some pretty severe work stress, and has recently come to realize that he might be depressed. Appointments with a therapist and a GP will be booked this week, but in the meantime I'm looking for other resources and support ideas. Depressed mefites, what are some amazing things that people have done to help you? What are some things you've wished you had someone around to do for you?
Spouse is a Ph.D. student, so the work stress is project-based but the project is enormous and daunting.
Here's some stuff we're already trying to do:
Healthy meals at regular times
Regular sleep schedule
Regular fun activities with friends outside the house
Attempting to distinguish work time from non-work time (we both work at home, and it's pretty easy for work to accidentally continue until bedtime!)
Physical activity (all the brisk walks!)
I take care of as many of the errands that stress him out as I can—groceries, apartment-tidying, correspondence-handling, recycling-sorting, etc.
I also have mental health challenges and am sympathetic, but mine are anxiety-related and my coping strategies involve disrupting anxiety spirals with distractions to restore equilibrium. Spouse is in a position where his default state is miserable, so my strategies don't really work, and I am running short of ideas.

Is he getting enough sleep? Does he snore? Badly? Sometimes that is actually sleep apnea, which can lead to depression symptoms (amongst others).
Just watch his stress though - I recently got hit with Bell's Palsy due to shingles/stress complications - not pleasant, but it is thankfully going away.

Sounds like you're headed in the right direction with the list provided. I've gone through some minor depression (event/stress-based) myself, and I found that just kind of trying to act out a normal life and continuing to do things I know I enjoy even if I didn't really feel like doing them (drawing and painting being the biggest example in my case).
I didn't feel great (obviously) but I felt more normal and like I was making more progress toward recovery than I think I would have if I did what I felt like doing, which was sleeping all the time and not leaving my apartment and ignoring social outings and obligations. His results may vary, however... Unfortunately everyone has a different way of dealing. My PTSD- and depression-afflicted boyfriend would likely suggest downing as much whiskey as possible and sleeping for three days, because that's what works for him... though I would never suggest this. :P
This is not really advice, per se, but
take a look anyway.

As another PhD student, firewalling work from non-work time is paramount, I think. Can you guys work outside of the house at all? Physical separation can go a long way here, and the novelty of working at a cafe or in a park or at a public library can be stimulating as well. (Many kudos to you for being so supportive, by the way.)

Developing a hobby has helped me. When the dark clouds of depression appear on the horizon, I will turn to making something with my hands. I taught myself to paint (acrylic), woodworking (I'm currently building a pergola with a tidy bench seat), mosaic glass tiles on various media, and gardening. The one aspect of all the hobby work that tends to send the clouds in another direction fairly quickly are the times working on a hobby project with my wife. Time becomes something that does not exist as we toil away in our shared experience making something real for ourselves; however, the simple art we create to give away is the most fulfilling.
If one is busy creating, it is very difficult to focus on imagining failure.

As someone who has been there (severe work stress), and whose energy also comes and goes in fits and spurts, I'll throw this out there: sometimes the only way out of severe project work stress is getting the project done. In that case it might be a good idea to live an "unbalanced" life for a few weeks, knowing that it will all be over soon. I know that when I'm under the gun, the thought that "oh, I have to stop work now because it's mealtime", or "oh, it's time for a walk now, have to stop writing" could actually contribute to stress during the really busy times, because now in addition to the project, I'd have a whole other set of expectations to live up to.
The fact that you are doing a lot of the random tasks is great. I'm sure that helps. It might also be good to book a short vacation for a time when you know the project will be done - that will give him something to look forward to after the project is over.

Well - take care of yourself. It's great that you're doing all these things for him but remember if you burn out too then no one wins.
Also, when I was depressed I really appreciated the people who knew about it and spent time with me not talking about it. Just talking about other things, keeping the conversation light. it meant so much to me.

Exercise is known do be as effective as any medication for depression. Daily walking, preferably in nature, might be helpful. Something aerobic would be great too.

It may help him to talk / write out lists of the things to do and strategize about how to make them more manageable. My sweetie can sometimes help me turn my overwhelming list into bite-size chunks. Other times, I want to turn him into bite-sized chunks. YMMV

This may sound cheesy / obvious, but get your hands on a few full seasons of a REALLY FUNNY television show, and watch them together. Sometimes, when I was really depressed, I felt I simply could not get off the couch. Laughing at, or at the very least connecting with, something funny made me feel slightly less alone every day. During a particularly dark spell, I think I may have memorized the entire first season of Arrested Development, and I still look back at that show as something that truly helped me during a bad time.

It might help him to do a few things for you as well, even something small like giving a a small gift and a card once or twice a week. Some way he can see in his own actions how much he matters to you and that the happiness and security in your relationship is independent of work outcomes that may be causing him stress.

2nding what golden eternity said. Little gifts to let someone know you're thinking about them, really mean a lot. It helps to not feel your all alone & carrying the weight by yourself, which depression can often make you feel.
A lot of the time others don't want to talk about depression or acknowledge it, which can make the person suffering from it feel more isolated in their struggles. Just being able to be with your spouse when they're depressed & not judge them for it & just accept them as they are, I think really helps. Depression can sometimes be triggered by feelings of "not being good enough" or "just not good enough as I am". Maybe with the stress from work this might be something your spouse is feeling, overwhelmed by the pressure.
Spending time with him/her, where you can show/ naturally communicate that you love them as they are with all the imperfections, is pretty big. That can be just in a hug, or your presence & energy, & of course in words. Being there, & there for them & with them (in a manner of speaking that " I'm on your team, it's our team, we'll get through it together & nothing will stop us", is a great feeling to someone who is suffering from depression). & lots of love i.e. physical touch. Hugs, kisses, rubs, all that you feel comfortable giving. That helps so much. That is to say, if you spouse is the affectionate type in the first place :)
You're very kind to be thinking so much of how to help your spouse, they are lucky to have you. Good for you for trying to improve the life of someone you care about. A lot of people wouldn't think to put in the effort, & just back away when things get hard. Again, they are quite lucky to have such a caring person :)

Have you tried vitamins/supplements in addition to the healthier diet you've adopted? Deficiencies of vitamins and minerals can cause a lot of the same symptoms of depression, and has even been linked to depression---such as being deficient in vitamin d in the winter is often linked to seasonal depression. There are also a lot of studies starting to link digestive issues with lots of other health issues--such as ADD, ADHD, depression, bipolar, anxiety, and more! A food-based multivitamin is a good insurance policy to ensure the body is receiving the nutrients being depleted by the constant stress and anxiety. Address digestive issues too. Irregularity or discomfort there can greatly affect the mood and overall health. Supplements do have some benefit and are becoming more studied to validate their use too.
Some that come to mind are:
Theanine (L-theanine), derived from tea, is an amino acid that promotes alpha brain waves (ie: flatlined or 'relaxed'). Helpful for anxiety.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), is a neurotransmitter inhibitor. This is helpful for the racing thoughts most people get while under stress. Helpful for anxiety, stress, and for some--insomnia.
Fish Oil, particularly the EPA and DHA it provides. EPA and DHA are found in high concentrations in the body oil of the fish (rather than the liver). Clinical studies have shown 1,000 mg or more of EPA a day has helped alleviate a lot of the symptoms of depression. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Available in capsule and liquid forms. If you want capsules, make sure they're enteric coated. If you want liquid, the best IMHO, are the xylitol-sweetened smoothies called Barleans Omega Swirls, but there are also lemon fish oils that can be used in salad dressings if you want savory. If you do anything---I'd highly suggest doing fish oil supplements. And if you are already, bumping up how much you take on a daily basis.
Vitamin D, is an essential vitamin that most of us do not get enough of. A good rule of thumb is to take (1) 2,000 IU softgel (or liquid) a day, keeping in mind that your body is not likely to absorb the full amount--so it's OK if you're already getting some in the foods you're eating or a multivitamin.
Magnesium is helpful for replenishing the magnesium you lose to stress/anxiety as it nourishes your taxed adrenals. Also has a calming/relaxing effect, particularly for muscles. Best taken in powder form mixed with water, but capsules/tablets are available too. Taking too much magnesium will have a laxative effect, so start with small doses. A multivitamin will probably not contain enough magnesium (or calcium).
Valerian, is a flower that is dried and usually made into a tea, or taken in capsuled form. Warning...the smell is off-putting, however, valerian (tea) works quickly. It has a sedative effect. Helpful for insomnia and other sleep issues caused by stress or anxiety. Passionflower has the same, though milder, effect as valerian.
Chamomile is also another great tea to use for its calming properties.
There are also several homeopathic remedies you could try--I'm not particularly well versed with them, as it's not something for me--but others swear by it. Some other options you may want to look into: 5-HTP, Tryptophan, Rhodiola, Holy Basil, and Ashwaghanda. Most of these can be taken together or with other medications.
In regards to depression... there are also some supplements that may aid in that area too. They may have contraindications if you are taking any medications. Consult a doctor before taking these. Some that come to mind are:
SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) is used extensively in Europe for the treatment of depression. A quick google search should provide you with plenty of studies and information about it.
St. Johns Wort is an herb that is used extensively in the treatment of depression, particularly in Germany. Available in capsule/tablet form. It does have side effects and toxicity risk if you take excessively high doses.
Note: These, along with rhodiola and 5-HTP, are not suitable for a person diagnosed with bipolar.
Hope that helps if you haven't looked into it already!

It takes time, patience, diligence, and most importantly belief in yourself to recover from depression.
I have battled two periods of depression in my adult life, both after age 40. The first came in 1994 when I was about a year sober in my recovery from alcoholism. The story of my life as an alcoholic isn't really germane to this discussion, suffice to say my life had become completely unmanageable. In that first year of recovery, things seemed truly great. I finally had the monkey of alcohol off my back after nearly 25 years, I had become very involved in AA as a tool for recovery, and the crumbling relationship with my wife had improved considerably.
Then something totally unexpected happened to me. I became sad all the time. I didn't feel well ... always tired, totally without energy and motivation. I lost my libido, my desire for socializing, and my work ethic. After a few months of this, I decided it was probably time for a visit to my family doctor to see what was going on. His diagnosis was simple. I'm sure you recognized the symptoms as well ... classic depression.
To get to the gist, I embarked on a multi-method treatment program. I visited a psychiatrist to talk about medication. We settled on Wellbutrin which really seemed to help me remain on an even keel rather than suffering highs and lows. I began seeing a counselor to determine what brought on this depression. Turns out I was missing my best friend, alcohol. That was my coping mechanism. When I was happy I drank, when I was sad I drank, when I was mad I drank. You get the picture. She helped me to understand why I was feeling depressed. Now, how to deal with that.
I poured myself even deeper into AA. I attended meetings every day for the amateur psychology. I became a leader involved in district and regional matters in the national AA organization. But most importantly, I began practicing the 12th step of the 12 steps of AA. That step is simply helping others. I became more involved in working with other recovering alcoholics, those who were just starting out. It helped me get out of myself, become less selfish, and share my experiences, strength, and hope with the others. It helped to recognize my own fears and my own resentments. When listening to other people's problems I was able to realize that I wasn't terminally unique. We all share many of the same dependencies, irritations, disappointments, even tragedies. That knowledge really set me at ease and began the process of obtaining serenity. Eventually, with hard work and focus, over about a two year period I was able to become well, or at least better.
Fast forward about five years. I was still doing well with staying sober. I had even quit attending AA meetings a couple years earlier because I needed to devote more time to my step-kid's college years. Then I got hit with a triple whammy all within about a four month period. First, I lost the job I had for 28 years because of a corporate merger and layoffs. It was the first time in my adult life I had ever been unemployed. Second, my wife and I finally came to the conclusion after 18 years of marriage that it was time to call it quits. It had been kinda rocky all along, but we had mostly worked it out. What really came as a surprise was that the breakup became very ugly.
Which leads to the third thing, after living in the same place for over 20 years, I found myself displaced and basically starting over. Oh, and in the meantime I found out during the discovery phase of the divorce that I was financially ruined. I was aware we were about $10,000 in debt with a home equity loan, car loan, etc. Unbeknownst to me though, my wife had run up an additional $30,000 of credit card bills that I never saw. In the state I lived, divorces are settled 50/50. You split all the assets and you split all the liabilities. So here I was responsible for $20,000 in debt that I didn't know anything about. No job, no marriage, no home, and no money.
Despite all the good things I had done to improve my life, that was my dilemma. And as you can imagine, I fell into depression again. The good news was this time I could recognize it, so I knew how to react quicker. I immediately got back into counseling and back on Wellbutrin. I made arrangements with creditors to pay off the debt over time. I moved about 500 miles away to start a brand new life for myself. I started a new career totally unrelated to my first. Most importantly, I became aware of a book that espoused a philosophy that made a whole lot of sense to me. I have been trying my best to practice it ever since.
The book is called The Four Agreements and was written by don Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec master. Here are the four agreements:
agreement 1
Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
agreement 2
Don't take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
agreement 3
Don't make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
agreement 4
Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
Again, it took about two full years to get back on my feet and out from under the black cloud of depression. Eventually I got all those bills paid off which was a major stress relief. My new job transferred me to three different places in the U.S. southeast over a four year period, so I was able to focus on that rather than my past. I now try to always look out the windshield rather than in the rear-view mirror. I can't do anything to change the past, so I try to live without regrets.
Working on those four agreements a little bit every day has helped me to be more confident, content, and serene. It didn't happen all at once. I have to constantly remind myself when I'm in challenging situations to think of how I should react, rather than just reacting. Repeating, it doesn't happen overnight, it takes practice. Most importantly, it absolutely does work as a philosophy for achieving serenity.
I am not perfect, far from it. However, I am probably happier at this point in my life (age 59) than I have been since I was a child. I have my own home in the mountains of North Carolina. I am debt free. I have a job that won't make me wealthy but is very easy, and I don't have to bring work home with me, I leave it all there. I've met someone that I've had a long distance telephone and internet relationship with for several years, and I really don't have a care in the world. I'm more involved in charity. It really all boils down to getting out of ourselves and into helping others.
I hope this will help your spouse, and you. Y'all are worth it.

I love what
said above. Also I think you are being wonderfully supportive.
Just want to say, seconding (thirding) the idea that if your spouse can incorporate something he does specifically for you into his schedule, it may be helpful for him.
Also, I don't know where you are in the states and whether daylight is an issue for you; but my son found it helped his mood very much to set a strong daylight bulb to come on in the bedroom with his morning alarm clock. He made sure he spent some hours under the daylight bulb if he was indoors. It's possible to get dedicated daylight-balanced lights for this purpose but he rigged up an aquarium light which is cheaper.
good luck.

Everyone here has good ideas - but I want to emphasize that you need to take care of yourself as well! Supporting someone who is depressed can be very draining, especially if you do not feel tip-top shape yourself.
Depression can be very reactive - if you are tired or stressed or in a bad mood it can nullify everything you're trying to do, because your own sadness/anxiety will send signals to your partner that can be interpreted as who knows what. Conversely, if you are relaxed and calm and upbeat, this could have a good impact on your partner in its own right.
Think about what you need to do to stay healthy yourself - and don't be afraid to outsource to friends and family when you need some time to yourself. Actually, DO outsource - having a variety of personal connections works a wonder for depression, mostly because you don't feel as much of a "burden" and the variety of viewpoints and personalities can get your brain going a bit.

What are some things you've wished you had someone around to do for you?
Back up every now and again--in other words, try not to "actively worry" too much. I don't mean to sound harsh, but for me (who has MH bona fides cum laude) it is EXTREMELY stressful to have the added stress of disappointing or worrying the people who love me. Worrying, hovering, concerned looks. I mention this because you said you tend toward anxiety, so I can see (empathizing with your partner) how this could be a factor.
Best of luck to you both.

2nding scratch. Additionally, don't underestimate the power of a little laying around and doing nothing. It's great you have a "LET'S BEAT THIS THING" approach (and as an anxiety sufferer who needs to keep busy I completely understand). But sometimes you just need to be left alone to sit on the couch all day and do nothing.

A few medical issues that can manifest as symptoms of depression include a vitamin D or B deficiency, hypothyroidism, and chronic allergies. Taking care of my allergies (i.e. taking some over-the-counter Claritin D) has improved my sleep and mood significantly. So encourage your spouse to ask questions at the doctor and consider any possible physical issues that might be exacerbating his depression.

Regular sweating.
Exercise vigorous enough to make you sweat, 30mins, 3x per week. I absolutely abhor it, but I cannot begin to tell you how much of an impact it has had on my depression. It's more than worth every hateful minute.

In that case it might be a good idea to live an "unbalanced" life for a few weeks
No - unless you can say that this will be the only time ever.
Otherwise it becomes something you do every 6 months... Every 3 months... Every month... Ever week or two...
At that point it becomes a "way-of-life" and your brain chemsitry can even change so that it prefers chaos. That's when you start to lose things like relationships, when you start to eat incorrectly, when you don't bother to excersise because the project is more important.
Very easy to fall into this trap for technical people who are also consultants/freelancers...

The authors report a new treatment approach for suicide attempters in which the patient's condition, the measures taken to save his life, and the reactions of his family are recorded on videotape when the patient is brought to the emergency room. After psychotherapy has begun, the patient views the videotape. This method challenges the patient's denial of despair and suicidal intent by confronting him with the consequences of his suicidal behavior. The authors point out the potential usefulness of videotape confrontation for a broad spectrum of self-destructive patients.

The Holiday Time Machine: Family
The clash of social class is epic. Decades of movement up or down networks of human ladders erupt over brands of mustard, types of lettuce or beverages. Dijon, arugula and Cabernet strike condescending blows at cousins who wash down iceberg and American yellow mustard with a frosty malt. The end of unemployment insurance seems a more patriotic conversation than environmental dangers, as one camp focuses on practicality and another on ideals, all designed to advertise social class. The family holiday rendezvous is a bid to flaunt the colors of our new world and a desperate attempt to avoid slipping into a familiar trance of the old planet. But it rarely works.
The powers of family psychological systems are like kryptonite, disabling our most sophisticated mental strategies. But we still go. We make the pilgrimage. At least, most of us do. Others avoid. The characters played by Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon in the film "Four Christmases" plan a yearly tropical vacation continents away from their families. Other folks drown in work. Still others dip in for a quick drink or meal and then jet off, unscathed by anything more than small talk.
Many who avoid family attempt to play catch-up years later at deathbeds and beside tombstones. But not us. We are the brave ones who climb into the time machine. And we do it for good reason. We do it because most of our families render us powerless to pretend, yet empower us with something else. The safety of a biological connection. We share genes, we share childhoods, we share pheromones, we share humor, we share love. This shared sense of belonging is the reason that we will bust our bank accounts to fly to the wedding of our crazy brother who is marrying a girl on a mountain in Mongolia. It's why we open our homes to cousins. It's why we spend hours cooking for people we haven't talked to face-to-face in a year. Because they are us.
When we are in their company, we are reminded of our familiar beginnings. There is some feeling of security in that. And if there were many old blows and injuries, we can also use this time to make right. To process more. Or simply to grieve the losses. Seeing a formerly abusive father, now old and weakened by alcohol, we can tend to the child in us whose childhood losses were so tragic. And we can look through the eyes of an adult at our tragic perpetrator and maybe even have compassion for his flaws.
We are all flawed people. And we live in an imperfect world. But in the presence of our family, we can have a feeling of belonging. Through the strengths of our family, we are reminded of the good in us. And through their flaws, we are given unique opportunities to mourn and forgive.
Hi there, I found your website via Google while looking for a related topic, your site came up, it looks good. I've bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
So whats your thoughts on the other posters comments? Believe hes being a bit crazy?
I do love the way you have framed this issue plus it does present me personally some fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from what precisely I have witnessed, I basically wish as the commentary stack on that men and women stay on issue and don't get started on a tirade associated with some other news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this superb piece and although I do not necessarily go along with this in totality, I regard the perspective.
There may be noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure good points in features also.
situations make use of a diverse website where you advertise added often?
Many thanks for posting this, It?s just what I was researching for on bing. I?d so much relatively hear opinions from an individual, barely than a company internet page, that?s why I like blogs so significantly. Many thanks!
my God, i thought you were going to chip in with some decisive insght at the end there, not leave it with 'we leave it to you to decide'.
Toning Your Muscles Doesn't Work

Just discovered this site thru Google, what a way to brighten up my day!
Thanks a lot for enjoying this beauty article with me.
There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment's pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
hello, I am a exchanging student, I am looking some article similiar to finish my exam and to make the better result of my works. I thought that your article is related to my works,so I decide to copy it without removing the author. manythanks for this useful article. have some good great works than.
Your website is awesome! Thank you for putting this up on the internet and making things simple for the avarage visitor!
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
Every time I read a great article I usually do some things:1.Share it with my relevant friends.2.keep it in some of the best sharing sites.3.Make sure to return to the site where I came accross the post.After reading this article I am seriously concidering doing all 3!
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it's nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
It's arduous to search out knowledgeable folks on this topic, however you sound like you know what you're speaking about! Thanks

Forecasters issued a tornado watch for 14 Georgia counties as fierce storms that ripped the roofs from buildings and knocked out power to 18,000 customers in Alabama headed toward southwest Georgia.
The National Weather Service said the tornado watch in Georgia would be effect until Thursday evening. It included the southwest Georgia cities of Albany, Blakely, Bainbridge, Cairo, Colquitt and Donalsonville.
The storms were moving into the state from south Alabama. They knocked out power to 18,000 customers statewide Thursday morning.
Alabama Power spokeswoman Keisa Sharpe-Johnson says the outages were spread across the state, with about 8,600 in the hard-hit Mobile area. A storm that struck Mobile peeled the roofs from buildings, toppled some trucks and blew down Oak trees and limbs, leading to some road closures.

Smash up the slugs and dodge the explosive meteors! A simplistic arcade stress reliever/smash em up! I learnt a lot of actionscript from making this game, so my next one will be an improvement. If you finish the game you'll get a rank! Please leave a reveiw and thanks for playing.
- smashing the slugs dead bodies gets you points
- smashing their graves gets you points too
- the dinosaur kills DO add to your score
- staying in the centre is a sure way to get trapped in..

Can't say it was fantastic..
But it was quite addictive, suprisingly.
Good jorbbb.

Graphically it was excellent, but gameplay...
Graphically it was excellent, but gameplay was lacking in this one. I just didn't think it was that good of a game. To explain it, you're a dude who goes around smashing things that randomly waltz or pop up on the screen, and you die in one hit. So, it gets very boring, very fast.
But I also want to emphasize that I feel the graphics of the game were a saving grace. Very fluid, solid, and consistently, the combination of aesthetics and graceful animation made this into a Flash experience that was still worth the download, and impressive to the eye.
I think it's one of those games that really needs to be expanded, as to break out of its monotony and really pioneer new turf for gamers.
A 2 out of 5.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars August 14, 2006
I loved it greg. The Graphics/animation were pretty cool. its good that you try fullbody. more kinds of attacks would be better though, like if you press shift or control it would make another kind of attack, like a gorund pound thing or something like that.

Great Game!
I like this! Keep up the great work!

2009 Baby & Kids Collection by DwellStudio
DwellStudio unveiled new products and new patterns at the recent ABC Kids Expo in Vegas and while they're known for their bedding, they've broadened their vision to create what they call "a complete interior landscape."
A while back a reader wrote us looking for a non-kid-themed shower curtain and we did our best to come up with some ideas. DwellStudio's new shower curtains (in many of their popular prints) would have fit the bill perfectly. Below you can also catch a glimpse of their new storage bins - perfect as hampers, toy "boxes" or catch-alls.
They've introduced rugs incorporating motifs from their signature prints like "Gio" shown below. The rugs are hand-tufted New Zealand wool and will be available in two sizes (3' x 5' or 5' x 8').
These colorful animal banks even look sturdy enough to be used as bookends.
In addition to the new "Geometry" print we looked at yesterday, they've added Snapdragon to their collection of patterns. Both new additions resemble hand-drawn illustrations (inspired by the work of Enzo Mari, Paul Cox, and Bruno Munari) - a sophisticated departure from Dwell's usual graphic style.
DwellStudio's not just moving out of the bedroom, they're moving out of the house entirely with their backpacks for kids on the go.
The 2009 DwellStudio collection is not yet available for sale, but you can check prices, see more details and set your bookmarks at DesignPublic.

Hi! I'm new to ohhdeedoh, so this had probably been asked before... but can someone source the featured crib in the dwell studio pictures? so simple and cute!
Hi, Slinky.
The crib in the pictures here is the Oeuf Sparrow. We have it in white and I love it. It's a bit lower than other cribs making it easier to reach down to get baby in and out!
those backpacks are too cute!!
nevermind. just saw the price on those backpacks.
Cute stuff, but I don't like elephants with their trunks down. They're supposed to be up for good luck.
That actually varies from culture to culture. The trunk up being good luck is actually a fairly recent, European idea.
To some cultures, the trunk up would evoke an angry elephant.

The chart showed that the percentage of time we were spending online was increasing hugely, but the percentage of ad dollars wasn't close to catching up yet. "This will obviously correct over time," the Yahoo executive would say, and Yahoo was the biggest trove of eyeballs on the Web, hence Yahoo would benefit. Ta da! There was no problem. It was just a matter of time–if everyone would wait a few years, it would happen on its own.
So we waited.
And waited.
And nearly a decade later, and we're still waiting. In fact, in corners of the Valley, you still hear the same sad, hopeful argument.
It's time we faced it: Digital ad spend is nowhere close to reflecting the amount of time we spend online. Move to plan B, Internet economy, because this one just isn't happening on its own.
That's because there was a fundamental flaw in the Silicon Valley premise that anyone on Madison Avenue could explain: Attention doesn't equal a good advertising opportunity. That has never been the case in the offline world, so it's perplexing that the brightest minds in Silicon Valley would think all eyeballs are equal. Since when did an hour with a magazine get priced on the same scale as a 3 second drive-by of a billboard?
We're Still Waiting For Internet Ad Spend To Catch Up to the Web–Let's Not Make The Same Mistake With Mobile | PandoDaily
This, in a nutshell, is what we're trying to do at Tumblr. We're not trying to go after the money that Facebook and Twitter and Google have gotten from TV. We're trying to go after the money that is still in TV - some $59 billion.
That money is still in TV because it's the only place a brand can do something emotional. The web is more than small boxes, clicks and numbers.

Not Just Another Survivor
October 24th is a date UAB RNICU Nurse Juliet Haikes, RN, BSN, will never forget. That day in 2011, she received humbling news: a carcinoid tumor—a very rare and aggressive form of cancer—had been detected in her appendix. A year later, she celebrated 365 days of survivorship at a surprise party thrown by her coworkers in the UAB RNICU.
"When I walked in that morning, I thought, 'Oh, we've decorated for Halloween, this is so neat!" But when I came into the unit and saw a huge blow-up zebra, which is kind of the mascot of carcinoid cancer, I realized, this is for me." I called my friend Terri Johnson in the Center for Nursing Excellence and said, 'You've got to come over here and see what they did. This is why I want to work here.' I wanted to brag to her and say, 'Look at how they take care of me.'"
Juliet's coworkers pooled their talents and hung banners, adorned their unit with zebra-striped decorations, cooked soups, baked cakes, and gifted her with a black and white "knots of love" blanket made with knots tied by nearly everyone in the RNICU.
"People asked me, 'Don't you want to take your year anniversary off?' But for me, it was a day that I wanted to be at work to celebrate with the people who brought me through a time that nobody is prepared for," Juliet says. "In the RNICU, we don't just take care of our babies; we take care of each other. When something happens to any one of us on our unit, we are there for each other."
The Shocking Diagnosis
In October 2011, Juliet had recently celebrated her 42nd birthday, bicycled across France with her mother and sister, and fallen in love with road biking, logging 30 miles every day. She was—and still is—engaged to a supportive and loving man and the mother of two intelligent, loving sons. "I was really at the highlight of great times in my life," she says.
For years, Juliet experienced symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and was having more and more abdominal pain. As her discomfort grew, she and her doctor suspected kidney stones or uterine fibroids. During an urgent surgery, on October 21, 2011, her surgeon removed what was noted as a "funny-looking appendix." The pathology report revealed a carcinoid tumor.
UAB Taught Me the Difference an Expert Makes
Juliet and her fiancé Andrew began researching treatment options, and found that according to The Carcinoid Cancer Foundation (CCF), the nearest carcinoid cancer specialists were outside New Orleans at the Ochsner Neuroendocrine Tumor Program.
"To step outside of UAB, where I went to nursing school and worked for so many years, was very difficult for me," Juliet says. "But being at UAB has taught me the difference an expert can make, and I knew it was the right choice for me."
According to the CCF, carcinoid is a neuroendocrine cancer that can originate in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, appendix, and thymus. The cancer can also occur in the lymph nodes, brain, bone, ovaries, testes, and skin. Though most carcinoid cancers are slow-growing, Juliet learned that her already rare cancer was even more unusual due to its fast-growing nature.
A Decision to Fight
"From that moment that I was diagnosed, I consciously made my decision that I would fight this, and no one in the RNICU has let me forget," Juliet says. Her coworkers Page Paradise and Amanda Estes immediately ordered 100 buttons that read "No One Fights Alone" and "Fight Like a Girl." "'No one fights alone' just meant so much," says Juliet. "To see them still wearing the buttons when I came back from treatment, that their support is just as strong as when I left over a year ago, is amazing.
"The night that I left for surgery at Ochsner, it was really hard for me to tell my coworkers goodbye, even for just a short period of time. I stood there looking at them as they held my hands, hugged me, and told me that they would be there every step of the way. They have kept that promise. They are the real heroes and have been there on the good days and the hard days.
"My one year anniversary was so important to me. I wanted people to realize that today is what really matters. Even the small things, like text messages from friends on my unit saying, "Thinking about you. Do you need anything?" were so important and meaningful. Most people live their whole lives and never really know how deeply people care about them. I am so lucky, because I got that."
Odds—Just a Statistical Probability
As an RNICU nurse, Juliet cares for UAB's tiniest patients. "In my job I have seen tiny, 23-week-old babies fight and beat the odds every singleday. I am a person just like them, and this cancer is something I'm going to fight."
I've seen what your attitude and your support system and all of those things day to day and moment to moment, when you are so vulnerable, can do to help you make it, because I see that every single day at UAB."
Why Zebras?
The medical analogy, "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras," is commonly taught to help healthcare professionals think logically to reach a diagnosis. In other words, the correct diagnosis is usually the most obvious (horses) versus uncommon (zebras). Because of carcinoid cancer's rarity, the zebra has become a mascot of sorts.
"If you read about the zebra, one thing you'll learn is that when a member of the herd is injured, its family will form a circle around it so no one else can hurt it," Juliet says. "In my case, my herd circled around me immediately. I was not alone, and even though carcinoid cancer is rare, I had something more rare—I had heroes in my life: My family and my UAB family, and now they were there for me."
What it Means to be a Survivor
Today, Juliet says she is doing well. "The symptoms of carcinoid are not easy to deal with, but I personally decided that I would not accept defeat, that failure was not an option," she says. "I joked that in my first exam that I got a "C" for "carcinoid," but I warned that from now on, I'm bringing my A game.
"I feel like that the best thing I can do is to take steps every single day to make it the best no matter what the circumstances are. I'm thankful to be a survivor. While cancer has changed a lot of things in my life, it doesn't define me. I have a great life, and part of that is now just being able to educate people about what carcinoid is, and I'm not going to give up. I feel very fortunate that I have such a team around me, and I think it truly makes all the difference in the world.
"As I like to say, statistics are just calculated odds, and people beat them all the time."

The Oles jumped to an early one-goal lead in their Friday match against Superior when Joel Ihrie 06 scored early in the first on an assist from Brett Kistner 08. However, Superior came back with four unanswered goals, including two in the third period to put the game out of reach. Jeff Wilde 07 made 23 saves in net for the Oles in the 4-1 loss.
The Oles fell behind early in the first to St. Scholastica on Saturday, but rallied to take a one-goal lead on a pair first-period goals by Dylan Mueller 09. Mueller was assisted by Andrew Birkholtz 09 on his first goal and by Mitch Mudra 07 on his second. With Muellers goals, the Oles lead 2-1 at the end of the first period
St. Scholastica scored three unanswered goals in the second period to take the lead, 4-2, before adding an empty netter in the third in the 5-2 victory. Dan Kehler 06 started in goal for St. Olaf and made 26 saves.
The pair of losses was a bit unexpected for the Oles, who have MIAC title aspirations this season. The team boasts talented offensive players and an active offensive system, which makes their weekend output of just three goals rather surprising.
In each of the past two years, the Oles have slumped in their first few games, only to rebound and compete for the MIAC title later in the season. In 2003-2004, the Oles dipped as low as three games under .500 before making their playoff push and last winter St. Olaf compiled just a 6-6-5 record, yet rebounded to finish third in the conference.
This season, the Oles have been forced to play three of their first four games on the road against difficult non-conference competition. St. Olaf will have a chance to improve their record this weekend against the Bethel Royals. They play a home game against Bethel on Friday night and travel to Fridley, Minn., on Saturday to complete the home-and-home series. Faceoff is set for 7 p.m. both nights.

MyPlanLoan, a BPAS Service, is a full-service loan administration solution that solves the various complexities of offering participant loans in qualified and certain non-qualified retirement plans. MyPlanLoan not only benefits participants, but recordkeepers and plan sponsors alike.
MyPlanLoan assumes all administrative functions for participant loans, including processing participant loan payments.
MyPlanLoan provides a valuable option for terminated participants, allowing them to continue to make payments on their outstanding retirement plan loan, helping to avoid the significant tax penalties associated with a loan default.
MyPlanLoan is available to active participants as well. Providing plan sponsors with the ability to set loan limits below 72(p), this prudent loan program gives plan sponsors a tool to help protect retirement savings by setting reasonable loan maximums to help prevent participants from borrowing more than they should. This not only serves to keep more assets in the plan, but also allows companies to take a paternalistic approach to loans, and thereby have an active role in protecting participants from spending their retirement savings before their golden years.

SPOKANE-- People in North Spokane say they were frightened after learning the man suspected of shooting two Spokane County Sheriff's deputies was in their neighborhood.
KREM 2's Shawn Chitnis spoke with one woman who rounded up neighborhood kids to keep them safe while the suspect drove off. Some people ran for safety even before they knew exactly what was happening.
Neighbors living in part of N. Andrews Ct. were too far to see anything where the two deputies were shot, but the suspect and word of what was happening quickly came their way. "I was in the living room with my kids and heard some commotion and saw her car, the black car speed away," said Melissa Veltri.
Seconds later, Veltri connected the two crime scenes just outside her door. "At the same time, the neighbor's kid called and said they had seen some officers down up the road."
She rounded up all the kids in the area and told them to stay inside. She was still processing what was happening and didn't know what exactly happened. "We were just shocked, just basically stayed inside and knew that we were going to be ok because we were surrounded by police officers."
Later in the afternoon she got a briefing from officials and Wednesday night she and kids in the neighborhood are ready to move forward.
Many of the neighbors we talked to say they're still comfortable about where they live even though they've seen more crime then they would like in this area recently.
