Share the knowledge!
hi all,
15th May is the date for the next planned user group meeting. This is kindly being hosted by HP in Bracknell. Here's a run down of the topics that will be covered:
"Exchange 2007 and SharePoint 2007 – Living Happily Ever After?" – this highlights all the integration points between E2K7 and MOSS and question how robust they are in real life
Kevin Laahs: Senior member of the Technology Leadership Group within HP's Consulting and Integration practice.
"A User Centred Approach to Designing Web Portals" – Given the CMS integration in MOSS, introduction of blogs, wikis, workflow and a whole host of user interaction within MOSS, designing web applications from a user perspective is essential. This talk will provide a view of techniques that can be used to design web portals (applicable to all web based apps – not specific to MOSS necessarily) with usability in mind:
Hina Keval: Usability Research Student, PhD at UCL Computer Sciences
"HP MOSS Sizing and Configuration Utility" – the HP utility for calculating MOSS server / farm architecture sizing and configuration of servers.
Hi All,
Unfortunately, the new MOSS Sizing tool is undergoing testing, so is not yet ready to be demonstrated in public.
Instead of this subject, I will present on MOSS performance, and highlight some of the differences the HP Test Lab has found between MOSS and SPS whilst working with Microsoft on sizing.
Andy Ginn: Senior HP Solution Architect
Venue: HP Bracknell: Amen Corner, Cain Road, Bracknell, Berks RG12 1HNTimes: 6.00 arrival for 6.30 start. End 9.00.
Please reply and post your full name if you wish to come along. Thanks to Natasha from HP for helping organise this one...
Happy to support the southern meetings as well :)
Look forward to seeing how HP have built the MOSS sizing tool and how it compares with my (not very complex) spreadsheets.
Sounds good. Please count me in.

BMC Racing Team rider Thor Hushovd finished ninth in a hard sixth stage at Tirreno-Adriatico. Taylor Phinney drove solo for 120 km of the 209 km long stage in rainy weather conditions.
Heroic Stage.
The sixth stage of Tirreno-Adriatico will be remembered as a heroic one with a lot of rain and steep climbs. A group of 16 riders made the break at the beginning of the race and made a total of 4 minutes. With 40 kilometers to go at the ascent of Sant'Elpidio a Mare (gradient 30 percent) the breakaway was reduced one-by-one. Even the peloton was fragmented in several groups due to this climb. During the last kilometers Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team) attacked, only Peter Sagan (Cannondale) and Joaquin Rodríguez (Katusha) were able to follow. In the end Sagan won the sprint of three. BMC Racing Team rider Thor Hushovd finished as the teams-best on a ninth place which gives hem confidence for the upcoming races. "I'm really happy that I was able to do a good placing especially after a hard race. It is not the best result but it is a good sign for the future and the next race Milan-SanRemo."
120 kilometers solo ride.
BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri could summarize the hard stage in six words. "Wet, cold, dirty, hard, dangerous and crazy, you had everything in this stage. But I think the team did well." Taylor Phinney finished as last rider after a solo ride of 120 kilometers behind the peloton. A real heroes performance which wasn't enough to stay in the race. Taylor who was hoping to stay in the race accepts the decision. "I kind of did the map after the stage and I figured out that I was going to be timed-out, but you always hope for some kind of special rule, but for me rules are rules and I respect that. Today was an interesting day and probably one of the hardest stages I've ever seen." Cadel Evans, 18th in todays stage, finished in the same group of Thor Hushovd and remains the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider 22nd overall, 9:25 behind Vinenzo Nibali who overtook the overall lead. Runner-up Chris Froome (Sky Procycling)is now 34 seconds behind. Tirreno-Adriatico ends tomorrow with a 9.2 km individual time trial. The BMC Racing Team will competes tomorrow with 6 riders, as Stephen Cummings abandoned - as many other riders - in this rain-soaked stage.

JOEL ROSARIO, BESTDRESSED, Winner: "I think he's much better now than when I rode him last summer. I knew they were going pretty fast and that it would help my horse because he's got a great quarter-mile run. I really wasn't worried about the horses in front of me. I was just concentrating on saving his run for the stretch."
JOHN SADLER, BESTDRESSED, Winner: "He's been really unlucky a couple of times because he's a late-running sprinter. He probably should have won a race at Del Mar and maybe one other, but this worked out good. The pace came back to him today. I loved watching those fast fractions. You never know if they're going to go that fast, but you can hope. Rosario's a great rider for him because he's such a strong finisher."

So much for technology - from my somewhat less accurate but reliable Suunto compass I have an approximate bearing of 105deg from tr trail junction to alpine garden trail junction to lion head to the orange sign at treeline. Approximate at best and not much use in a whiteout - but better than nothing. Keep in mind when descending, you have the Raymond Cataract on your left which is a jumble of krummholz and probably filled with snow, and Tuckerman Ravine to your right - if you can keep heading downhill between and avoiding those 2 unmistakeable features, you have a good chance of finding the winter route in bad conditions. Keep in mind as I mentioned in my previous post, I never continue uphill in marginal conditions, it usually gets worse the higher you go - but I have the above info with me as insurance in case conditions turn bad unexpectedly as they often do. There's no shame in turning back and living to enjoy the mountains another day.

He has a test system that we all would like to have at home, probably until you get the first electricity bill :-)

We will look at various ways to push SQL Server workloads by methodically detecting and resolving bottlenecks.
A number of tips, tricks and testing methods that Henk tought the (Dutch) SQL Server community over the past years I applied successfully on various troubled systems.
Together we will show you how you can take some lessons learned and apply them on mid-sized and even smaller systems.
(We'll even try some of them on a laptop, and of course we will remote connect into the big machine )
In this session you will:

I'm a SQL Server MVP and I'm the co-founder and current chairman of the Dutch PASS Chapter and a member of the volunteer team for the Dutch SQL Saturday's. I've done a whole lot of pure DBA work managing 100′s of servers and learning something new every day.
These days I spend a lot of time on just a few servers containing some large databases and the better part of the day is spent with SSIS. In both roles I've been using Powershell a lot. I joke sometimes that I replaced myself with a powershell script when leaving the DBA role, but these days I automate so much that I have to watch myself and not actually do just that

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties, in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures. Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions. The result is an exceptionally elegant and complex wine. Its launch was a major milestone in the development of Chilean wines, both in Chile itself and in the international market.
Deep, intense, ruby red color with purple tones. The nose is pure, well focused and elegant. Complex and layered, it reveals fresh and delicate aromas of cassis, black berries and violet, associated to fine notes of vanilla, cacao, licorice, and spices. The wine is filling the mouth with smooth, well refined and juicy tannins, underlining the plenitude of the ripe fruit. The texture is incredibly round and silky, and the finish is long and fleshy. A superb wine, precise in its character, accessible and remarkably balanced.
Blend: 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 4%
Cabernet Franc, and 1% Merlot.
"Classically built, with a compact and fine-tuned frame giving way to rich cassis, black cherry reduction, fig paste, spice box and licorice notes woven with fine tannins, juicy acidity and a firm, minerally spine. The finish reverberates the focused flavors, but should expand with mid-term cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now through 2020."

Wine Spectator
"Youthful purple color. Primary dark berry and cherry pit aromas are complemented by notes of vanillin oak, mocha and Indian spices. Broad and fleshy on the palate, offering sweet blueberry and cassis flavors and suggestions of dark chocolate, cola and vanilla. Becomes smokier with air and finishes with very good clarity and strong spicy persistence. This yet-to-be-released wine will no doubt reward patience. 93(+?) points "

Champs d'étude [CdE]]
The consideration of key ideas regarding the fundamental nature of music, or aspects of music, as well as of music within the broader philosophical study of the history of ideas. Some traditional concerns of the philosophy of music are - aesthetics ; music and emotions ; musical expression, meaning and understanding ; performance and interpretation. Philosophical studies may also overlap with social or political studies of music. The philosophy of music is also concerned with ontological issues, or establishing what music is and what it is not. The study of electroacoustic music may draw upon traditional concerns of music philosophy, may highlight new areas of study (e.g. with the philosophy of technology), or may draw upon philosophical developments that were broadly synchronous with musical ones (e.g. phenomenology).

Saturday, while on Mount Waumbek, Jude, Emma and I had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Atticus. Atticus is a miniature schnauzer about the same size as Emma, (who we think is a pomeranian mix.) It was nice to meet another dog her size on the trail and we got to talking. I always brag that Emma has her 4000 footer patch from the AMC. She got her patch the same day as Brutus the Newfoundland who went on to be the first dog to get his winter 4000 footers, then do it again, in one season! Emma (and Atticus) are about the size of Brutus' head! Anyway, Tom, very humbly I might add, made us feel to be completely inadequate hikers when I asked if they were on their quest for the winter 4000 footers. It turns out, in only their second full year of hiking, they are on their second time through the 4000 footers, THIS WINTER! After climbing Cannon Mountain at 3:30 Saturday morning, they drove to Waumbek and climbed it then finished up the day by driving to Mount Cabot and summiting. Unbelievable? They are doing it for a great cause, not just for bragging rights. Here is their website, full of great pictures:
Please check it out and even if you don't wish to donate to their cause, send along a few words of encouragement. After Mount Cabot they had 25 more summits to do in the next 10 days. Even if they don't make it, it is an awesome feat! It took me 3 years to do what they're doing twice in 90 days!

Down to earth without being earthy, the Bobbi is a watch that works in both the sleepy beach town and the heart of the city. It's a watch that brings together the best of both worlds, but it doesn't come off like a compromise. Uniting the softness of a leather luxury bracelet with the edgy accents of studded spike details makes an attention-commanding statement fitting of the girl who will wear it. It's unapologetic and daring, but still clearly defined.

In the past the guys in THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES have absolutely destroyed the limits of what one would consider to be post-hardcore. Both on the EP This Was Meant To Hurt You and then their debut full-length Oxeneers Or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home, the Seattle-based band took elements of the genre and proceeded to twist, turn, and eventually disfigure them to form a sound so unstructured, so harsh and yet so pleasing and rewarding that it actually produced something magnificent. The same characteristics that made them so unique in the past are still present on their second full-length titled Easter, yet somehow they've managed to top themselves in the process.
Musically, Easter doesn't stray too far from the path that was laid on Oxeneers, but there are certainly new, greater elements in place. With the arrival of new drummer and producer Chris Common, the songs on Easter carry a ton of rhythmic weight especially when considering Brian Cook's basslines. "Horse Girl" is a prime example of this as Cook's basslines hit so hard it sounds like he replaced his strings with muscles and tendons that vibrate with excruciating force. Moreover, Ryan Frederickson's guitar riffs are as sinewy and powerful as ever, driving songs such as "Subtle Body" and "Abracadabra" with his signature distortions. The former is one of the album's longest tracks at six-minutes yet THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES never come close to attention-losing territory. The riffs and basslines, when combined with Steve Snere's uncanny shouting, sound absolutely ferocious during the last minutes of the song, escalating into an array of noisy distortions. Because their songs rarely contain anything resembling a chorus, the songs on Easter are short on hooks but do feature plenty of memorable moments, whether it comes courtesy of Snere or not. "Horse Girl" succeeds purely because of its dueling riffs and basslines whereas "Deer Lodge" stands out as one of the album's most complete tracks as the pulsating riffs, tempo changes, and Snere's singing all cooperate to form one amazing adventure. "Perpetual Bris" is the oddest track on the album as Snere turns in his normal vocals for a less-harsh tone that, when paired with an acoustic background, sounds as if though it could have appeared on any MEWITHOUTYOU album. I suppose the song's references to biblical topics such as Abraham, Lazarus, and shepards doesn't diminish the comparison either (even if the two bands seem to have contrasting opinions). In a sense, "Perpetual Bris" acts as an intro to the relaxed beginning of "Coporeal." Almost seven-minutes in length, "Coporeal" contains over three-minutes of added music that technically goes nowhere, but acts as a form of epic closing material despite the fact that it isn't the last song.
With Easter, THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES take their often cynical outlook on social themes to the next level. Whereas Oxeneers was focused more on greed and the life as a banker, Easter weighs in on deeper themes such as religion, deserts, and ghosts, according to the band. However, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything of the sort in Snere's mind-boggling lyrics. Often hidden in abstract metaphors not unlike THE BLOOD BROTHERS, Snere's approach is often so obtuse that conclusions are hard to come by. However, there's a certain sense of darkness and unhappiness that runs through the release, culminating with these cryptic words at the end of "Crazy Woman Dirty Train": "though it was love that pumped through these veins, I was also loved once/ once/ there is a gaping hole there now/ there is nothing inside of compassion, of happiness/ it's all black, onyx black/ I cut like scissors, make the wound deeper, and I work the hole bigger till I can see bone, blood."
THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES may not be the happiest band playing in the genre they apparently represent, yet the music composed on Easter does little to leave the listener unsatisfied. Bold, meticulous, and out-right spine-tingling, THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES performance on Easter walks a path into unparalleled territory, something the band has done since there inception and will hopefully continue to do as they progress into a monstrous force.

WWF & Tigers
WWF Tigers Alive Initiative
WWF is working with tiger range country governments to double wild tiger numbers – this goal is called TX2.
TX2The TX2 goal was established in 2010, the last year of the tiger, at the Tiger Summit in St Petersburg. Here all 13 tiger range countries committed to the most ambitious and visionary conservation goal ever set – to double wild tigers numbers by 2022, the next year of the tiger.
To drive TX2 forward the WWF Tigers Alive Initiative was established - a global tiger conservation programme spanning the entire WWF network.
WWF Tigers Alive Initiative is working with tiger range governments to:
- Drive political momentum to ensure tigers remain a top priority for world leaders
- Professionalize wildlife protection by training rangers, developing conservation standards (CA|TS) and technology (SMART) to achieve Zero Poaching
- Tackle the illegal wildlife trade through our partnership with TRAFFIC
- Focus efforts in key tiger landscapes
- Ensure there is space for both tigers and people in the future

Hi, I'm new to this forum but in need of a bit of advice. I'm off to Bonaire in a couple of weeks time to do some fieldwork and I'm looking for a new camera to take with me. I've had a bit of bad luck with past cameras (I lost two in Madagascar - one fell in a river and the other got blocked up with sand).
What I really need is a camera that can take the tough conditions of fieldwork (waterproof, sandproof, shockproof etc.). I've seen that there are quite a few rugged cameras on the market, I've had a look at the what digital camera review, which is helpful but I was wondering if anyone had any experience of using any of these and could give me some feedback.
I'd still like to be able to take fairly good photos, but I need a camera that can withstand slightly tougher conditions.
Any thoughts would be really appreciated

OCCUPY ACE'S 2011 - Week 13
Hello New York Giants Fans,
It's time to occupy Ace's on Sunday, this is a make or break game for the 2011 season. This is no easy task either, as week 13's opponent is the Green Bay Packers, who are led by Aaron Rodgers. Don't get me wrong here, he is an excellent QB and his favorite pass is the back shoulder 50+mph super accurate fast ball to his receivers.
Now the New York Football Giants have their backs against the wall (nothing new here) coming off a terrible loss to the New Orleans Saints in week 12 - this Sunday's game has a lot of significance.
Ace's Bar | Sports Bar San Francisco
This game is taking place in NJ at MetLife stadium and EVERYBODY on the NY Giants organization wants/has something to prove.
The Defense is seeking to redeem themselves after the TERRIBLE performance in week 12. (Osi is ruled out)
The Offense wants to prove that it can score early in the 1st QT of a game (RB Bradshaw is a probable, WR Manningham is doubtful)
The Schedule for Sunday:
Wake up early, get some friends and eat a decent meal or brunch.
Next, grab your favorite New York Giants outfit that you have ( let's pretend its your last game watching them - so look good please)
Arrive at Ace's at 12:30pm PST - 1pm PST and get a comfortable spot because this game is going to get LOUD!
Lastly, make sure to tip for the BBQ and your delicious drinks BUT ALSO make sure your having a good time because it's NFL FOOTBALL and you LIKE IT !!!

Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team formally received the "Mendrisio d'Oro" trophy for his outstanding achievements during the 2009 cycling season.

Road closures due to filming causing inconveniences
SALISBURY — The city and a film production crew pledged Tuesday to have downtown streets open by 7 a.m. this week after filming of "Sleepy Hollow" ran over Monday morning and caused traffic headaches for some commuters.
"They apologized profusely," city spokeswoman Elaney Hasselmann said of 20th Century Fox, which didn't wrap up filming until 7:45 a.m. Monday.
About a 12-block area of downtown remained closed during the delay, causing headaches for some commuters, with a few drivers going the wrong way on one-way streets in attempt to get to work and school. Some said conditions were unsafe and ripe for an accident, and signage was lacking.
Filming continues the rest of this week for 20th Century Fox's "Sleepy Hollow," a TV pilot.
Hasselmann said the city has insisted film production wrap up by 7 a.m. every day so roads can reopen to help avoid traffic congestion and confusion.
City crews on Tuesday also added detour signs and adjusted the timing of traffic signals to help alleviate confusion and congestion, Hasselmann said.
Although several people said filming did not interfere with a controversial Rowan County commissioners meeting Monday night, N.C. Rep. Carl Ford said at least 10 people told him they could not find parking or had to park a half-mile away. Some people in wheelchairs gave up and went home, Ford said.
Justin Dionne, who lives downtown, said no one warned downtown residents that they would not be able to come and go from their homes after a certain time.
Dionne, an actor and director, said he has rehearsal until 10 p.m. and has no choice but to park four blocks from his home and walk. Older residents of the Plaza have had to do the same, he said.
"I'm really glad this is happening in our community, and I'm happy for Salisbury," Dionne said. "But it would've been cool for them to talk to and warn the residents who are being kept from accessing parking spaces that we pay for."
"Sleepy Hollow" crews return to St. Luke's Episcopal Church tonight and move to the Bell Tower Thursday, where scenic artists have transformed the park by painting the white gazebo black and adding plants and vines, as well as period light fixtures.
They will repaint the gazebo white after the shoot wraps up on Friday.

Without being corny, we try simply to be considerate to each other every day rather than lavishing each other with gifts." Dame Helen Mirren isn't romantic with her husband Taylor Hackford.

I made these with fleece and when I took them out of the microwave, they're wet! Really wet. Is it the fabric I'm using?ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh no, Sarah! I'm not sure why that would have happened. I did a little research and found that synthetic fleece would be a no-no to put in the microwave (it can melt!), but cotton fleece should be okay. Did you have the warmer in a baggie or anything that cause the warmer to absorb moisture?Delete
My hand stitching looks like a 10 year old made it, could these be run up on my machine?ReplyDelete
Just curious, my hand stitching looks messy, anyone run these up on a sewing machine with success?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Amy! There is no reason you couldn't run these through your machine. Just stop stitching about a half inch from where you started to leave room to insert the rice. You will probably have to finish it off with some hand stitching though.Delete
These are so cute, but I'm having trouble accessing the instructions document to print it out...can you repost it somewhere or link directly to a PDF? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Kara! I have updated the post with new download links and instructions. It should all work well now! :)Delete
Thank you for commenting! I read each and every comment I receive and try to respond back if I can. Thanks for stopping by!

For a man unknown to most of America a month ago, Dr. Ben Carson is suddenly everywhere.
The Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon is now a viral phenomenon, with a half-hour National Prayer Breakfast speech that has found its way to millions of inboxes.
That address, covering topics from personal responsibility to education to taxes to health care, landed him on a smattering of political shows in the days following, as questions sprang forth:
Why did he address such specifics with President Obama seated two chairs away?

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 14, 2012)—The lone female in a field of nine, Diamond Duchess wore down pacesetter and 5-2 favorite Danderek in the final yards to win the $53,400 feature (video) Thursday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Dismissed at 10-1, Diamond Duchess won for the second time in as many starts over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass. The Irish bred, who is owned by Red Baron's Barn LLC and Vayaconsuerte LLC and trained by Darrell Vienna, had captured a $25,000 claimer – against her own sex – May 18.
Stretched to 1 ½ miles Thursday, the daughter of Dubawi and the Shahrastani mare saved ground while basically splitting the field for most of the journey, swung outside for a clear run entering the stretch and was up in time under jockey Edwin Maldonado.
Making her first start at the distance, Diamond Duchess ran the 12 furlongs in 2:29.94 while winning by 1 ½ lengths. She paid $22.40, $10.20 and $6.60. A winner twice at 1 ¼ miles in England in 2010, Diamond Duchess is 5-for-17 lifetime with earnings of $77,458.
A gate-to-wire winner at 10 furlongs in his Betfair Hollywood Park turf debut May 17, Danderek returned $4.20 and $3.40 in his initial start for trainer Dan Blacker, who had claimed the 6-year-old gelding for $40,000 for owners Dan Capen and Gary Margolis.
Falcon Rock rallied along the inside for third, a head behind Danderek. The show price on Falcon Rock was $4.60.
Completing the order of finish were Clearance Clarence, Slane Castle, Porfido, Let's Do It, Maker and Southern Sculptor. Smokin' Cat, Accelerant, Lumberyard Jack and Mr. Candy Bar were scratched.
Racing resumes Friday. Post time is 7:05 p.m.
At the conclusion of the eight race program, a concert starring Jesus and Mary Chain will begin at the North Park. Approximate start time is 10:30 p.m.

Mental Health Center
Guide to Psychiatry and Counseling
Types of Psychotherapy continued...
Psychoanalytic or psychodynamic therapies. The idea behind this kind of therapy is that people's lives are affected by unconscious issues and conflicts. The goal of the therapist is to help the person bring those issues to a conscious level where they can be understood and dealt with. This may involve analyzing dreams or exploring a person's personal history.
Behavioral Therapy. This approach to therapy focuses on learning and behavior in an effort to change unhealthy behavioral patterns. Some therapists try to help patients learn new associations by using a system of reward and punishment to bring about certain behavioral changes. Another approach might involve a controlled series of exposures to a phobia trigger to desensitize a person to an unreasonable fear.
Cognitive Therapy. The emphasis in cognitive therapy is on a person's thoughts. The idea is that dysfunctional thinking is what leads to dysfunctional emotions or behaviors. The goal is to help the person recognize unhealthy thinking patterns and to recognize and change inaccurate beliefs.
Humanistic Therapy. This approach to therapy is based on the idea that people are capable of making rational choices and developing their maximum potential. This approach to therapy is often client centered, with the client being seen as the authority on what is going on inside.
Integrative or Holistic Therapy. This approach relies on integrating multiple approaches to therapy based on the client's individual needs. For instance, cognitive behavioral therapy is a combination of the two individual therapies and focuses on both thought and behavior.
Getting Started With a Mental Health Professional
Finding the right mental health professional and the right approach to therapy is as important as finding the right medical doctor. Whether you are planning to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist or another type of mental health professional, you should start with a phone call to the professional. Ask about the professional's approach to dealing with mental issues and how he or she generally works with clients. Ask about whether or not he or she accepts insurance and how payments are handled. You might describe your reason for wanting to make an appointment and ask if he or she is experienced in dealing with such issues. If you are comfortable talking with him or her, the next step is to make an appointment.
At your first office visit, the mental health professional will want to talk with you about why you think you need to come to therapy. He or she will want to know about what your symptoms are, how long you've had them and what, if anything, you've done about them in the past. He or she will probably ask you about your family and your work as well as what you do to relax. This initial conversation is important in developing the appropriate approach to treatment. Before you leave the office, the mental health professional should describe to you the plan for treatment and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
It will likely take several weeks before you become fully comfortable with your therapy. If you still aren't feeling comfortable after two or three visits, let the mental health professional know and explain why you feel that way. The two of you need to work together as a team in order to get the most out of your treatment.

In her directorial debut with The Pumphouse Players, Jen Garrett will bring Woody Allen's romantic comedy "Play It Again, Sam" to the Cartersville stage.
"When I was asked to direct 'Play It Again, Sam' I was very excited," Garrett said. "I had just recently seen the movie and it quickly became my favorite Woody Allen film. I have been excited to open this show here in Cartersville because it's an extremely hilarious show that I think everyone will enjoy and walk away from really thinking about the various types of love and how easy finding it can be when you stop looking and trying to impress someone.
"Directing has been an extremely rewarding experience. My cast has been so gracious and patient with [me] while I try to figure everything out. I've really loved watching my vision come to life and spring forth from the minds of these actors. It's a great feeling to have something you can see so clearly come to fruition. And watching them all come up with new and surprising things that I never would have thought of for their characters has been amazing."
To be performed at The Legion Theatre, 114 W. Main St. in Cartersville, "Play It Again, Sam" will be presented Feb. 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 16 at 3 p.m. The cast will consist of Tony Bowers, Olivia Cantrell, Meghann Humphreys, John Katrek, Aimee Kerry, Sabrina Payne, Jessica Terry, Bob Whaley and Ashleigh Woodall.
"The show is about a man who loses love, but gains confidence," Garrett said. "Allan Felix is a bundle of nerves. His wife leaves him and, all of a sudden, he's thrust back into the dating world. With some help from his best friend, Dick; Dick's wife, Linda; his idol, Humphrey Bogart; and with hindrance from his ex-wife, Nancy, Allan goes on some of the worst dates imaginable, only to find that if he would just be himself he could 'get a pretty good dame to fall for him without even trying.'
"I believe this still appeals to audiences because everyone is searching for love in life, either actively or passively. This show really resonates in that you learn that if you just let people see your quirks and flaws you'll find the person who loves you for you."<B>
For Whaley, portraying Allan Felix is providing several new opportunities, enabling him to embody a "high-energy" character in an Allen play.
"Allan Felix is a neurotic. He was written by Woody Allen to be played by Woody Allen," Whaley said. "He's nervous. He has trouble communicating his ideas to people. I think he just thinks too fast and he can't form the words fast enough. He's a good guy. Everything he does is pretty straightforward. Really, he wants to be with somebody and be fully with somebody.
"... But he is a character that I've never actually portrayed on stage. Usually I like playing villains and stuff like that, but he is very high energy. A lot of qualities that I don't have, he does and vice versa. It's just been a very fun experience. ... It's a show I would love to see if I wasn't in it. I'm just very thankful that I'm in it."
Tickets for "Play It Again, Sam" are $14 for general admission, $12 for pre-paid groups of 10 or more people and $10 for Pumphouse Players members. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.pumphouseplayers.com or call 770-387-2610.

Wintersday is coming and along with all the other goodies there will be a few updates to WvW. Some of these changes are the result of forum feedback while others are part of our longer term plans for WvW. Heres a quick preview of what WvW will get for Wintersday:
Advance notification of new builds
In order to allow WvW players to make good decions about siege placement, assault timing, etc. were adding a new build pre-announcement. This will be in the form of a message broadcast to all players some time before the current build expires. Because this notification is tied to one of the final steps in our build process, and those final steps take a variable amount of time, we wont be able to say exactly when the current build will expire. Instead, the message will provide a window of time in which the new build will become available.
Alt+F4 is no escape
If someone that youre fighting disconnects during combat (via Alt+F4, killing the client process, etc.) their character will be instantly killed, death penalties will be applied, and XP & loot will be handed out as usual. [A later post by Habib stated that this will not affect PVE, there were questions about how "honest" d/c's would be affected by this that have not yet been answered as I type this. ~Blade]
No more insta-build walls & gates
Destroyed walls and gates will now rebuild when they reach 10% health rather than on the very first repair. This means that when attackers down a wall or gate defenders wont be able to instantly rebuild it. Walls and gates which are destroyed can still be damaged if they have any health.
Breakout events
Weve added a new event type to WvW called Breakout events which trigger when one or more teams have been pushed completely out of a map. Theyre designed both to help players break out of severly camped portal keeps and to provide assistance in establishing a foothold in each map. Heres what designer Matt Witter has to say about them:
Break Out Events are special WvW events that will happen when a team has lost control of all defensive structures, not counting supply camps. An NPC commander will appear in the teams start area and an event will start that prompts players to gather around. Once enough players are in the commanders presence he will summon his trusty dolyak to give all allies in the area full supply. He will then lead the charge to the nearby objective and give players protection and assist with building siege to assault the objective with. Those benefits, along with a defensive boon that he applies to all nearby allies, makes the attacking players a force to be reckoned with. Defenders will have their work cut out for them, as once the gate or wall piece is destroyed the commander will move to the tower lord inside and attack anyone in his path.
These changes are just a small part of what the WvW team has been up to lately. As you may have already heard, were hard at work on some larger updates that we plan to deliver in February. Were not quite ready to talk about the details yet but as February gets closer well start to reveal more of our secrets.
Happy Wintersday and well see you on the battlefield!
Nice stuff. The February hint is welcome news too, I'm sure, for people who enjoy this. My brother in law is really getting into this game type now, so I'll probably be doing this more now too. lol Well, I was going to need those badges for the legendary weapon anyway. Might help me get a Monthly too if I can ever make time for dungeons.

Really going to love the change to people alt+f4ing the match while in combat / downed. More loot! More satisfying banners being plunged through people's chests!
And the pre-announcement is definitely a much welcomed addition. Mmm.

11-12-2012, 02:55 #4
Hopefully the alt-f4 penalty doesn't apply if your client crashes. Because GW2 crashes all the time in WvW for me, and I don't want to add armor repair fees on top of having to reboot my PC and re-queue. I'm already completely avoiding WvW unless it's the last thing I need for my monthly achievements, but if I end up having to pay for armor repairs everytime I crash while in combat, I'm just not gonna bother.
Putting graphics on low helps make it more stable, but it still crashes. Unless I avoid zergs. But then I don't really get any kills, and make no progress on my monthly.
11-12-2012, 05:25 #5
Advance notification of new builds - yeah, good. Should have been there a while ago, IMO. Been kicked for new build while playing, more than a bit annoying, especially if you lose loot because of it.
Alt-F4 penalty - great. I die in WvW, it is annoying when it happens a lot and it eats your money, but, it is even more annoying to have your enemy down and them to suddenly vanish, leaving you with nothing but wasted time. It is a form of griefing, whether done out of rage or spite. Obviously, it is perfectly possible for some people to experience problems like genuine crashes and disconnects, but given that I have seen people bragging that they Alt-F4 just to be annoying, not all of the cases of mysteriously vanishing downed enemies are due to connection issues or crashes.
Instabuild walls and gates - yes, I have been on both sides of that one. It does make sense for them to change that, 10% seems like a good number. Will see how it plays out.
Breakout Events - this could help underdog servers that struggle with morale when being outmanned and dominated by their opponents, making for more enjoyable matches from both sides. Nobody likes it when they are outmanned and the enemy hold everything, and nobody likes it when their opponents decide they would just be better off not playing that week due to being unable to gain any foothold.

Funnily enough, most games will still run fine. It's pretty much just GW2 that's being difficult. Especially if I run a web browser in the background at the same time. GW2 is more prone to crashes than an Elder Scrolls game.
Sorry for the OT, just needed a place to vent.
But I'm totally for punishing alt-f4-ing and stuff. Quitting just because you're going to die spoils the fun. Of course, I'd have personally preferred it if WvW was handled like sPvP. Everything unlocked, everyone on equal footing, no PvE loot.
14-12-2012, 07:26 #7
I love the idea of Breakout Events. Makes for a more enjoyable experience for the underdog server that is constantly pinned at their primary waypoint. Also, this could provide some resistance against one world doing night caps.

Treasures: Jerid and Jesse's Bedroom Collection
A few weeks ago, when I wrote about Bones & Other Oddities, I was so intrigued by one comment that I asked Jerid, the poster, to send me pictures of his home. He wrote back and said only the bedroom was Apartment Therapy ready at the moment. I can't wait to do a full house tour someday, but for now, here's a peek into Jerid and Jesse's treasure-filled bedroom.
Jerid and Jesse, who live in Portland, share a 1920s house with a Montessori school, a rabbit named Otto Von Rolland, and a handful of the couple's "grrrrrls" — or chickens, to the rest of us. Both are creative types, and their bedroom is a reflection of their amazing offbeat aesthetic and affinity for found objects.
"Most were gifts to one another over the last five years," says Jerid. "A typical date for us would involve a treasure hunt of some kind at an estate sale or an off-the-road/backwoods thrift shop."
Their style? "All over the map!" explains Jerid. "Eclectic/Eccentric. Vintage. Reclaimed. Inherited. DIY. Always evolving. Inspired by colors, textures, and patterns, and organic elements like feathers, eggs, mosses and lichens, honeycombs, bugs, bones and skulls. We have a shared interest in art, circus freaks, curiosities/oddities, anatomy, the male image, Day of the Dead, and animals — especially deer and rabbits."
And, in case you like what you see, Jerid and Jesse are planning to launch an Etsy shop for their "mancrafted" housewares and vintage finds. "If we can part with them," adds Jerid. Fingers crossed!

amazing collections
i love rooms you want to spend an hour combing through. great stuff. also, THAT MIRROR. where is it from? we needs it.
Beautiful! I'm also a fan of Paxton Gate (the one in SF).
The mirrors are from IKEA I believe - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60182059
Whelp, this is pretty freaking fantastic. I love the muted colors all around. It really looks authentic and warm and cozy.
Whoa whoa whoa! From the comment it sounded like a person who's pretty cave-like/creepy, but that is totally awesome! It's like a very curated, odd-ball collector. But artistic in the display and surprisingly warm! Well done for something that could easily veer into the loony bin! ;)
I have the same typewriter and case.
Is that a live bunny? I don't have any objections to taxidermy, but live bunnies are more awesome, I must say. One can personally benefit from a live bunny (as opposed to a deer... or a squirrel). Although they do poop constantly. >.>
What's this paint brand/color?!
...That is so COOL.
Oh, rabbit Otto is in the writeup. Hurrah! Though I couldn't tell how he'd be balanced if he were fake, he was so perfectly upright in that picture I was fooled.
Cute chalk drawings!
And cute art in the 1st picture, last row
So beautifully done, love it all (well, maybe not the insects, but love everything else)
This place looks like the booths at the antiques store around the corner from me.
The consistency in style is really fantastic. I love this. Definitely looking forward to the full tour.
I love that he said only the bedroom is ready, ha ha. Sounds like something I would say. Awesome room. Just wow.
dweebgirl — i'll dig the paint can out of the garage today and let you know.
blandwagon — yes. i agreed. it's cluttered. pain to dust? yes. my thinking behind things is that one day we'll have a larger space (a home to ourselves) where all our things can be dispersed in such a way that it won't be so centralized. as of right now, we have another room that acts as an art studio but soon to be a living room, and a small "nook" off the bedroom that will then be an art space. we're lacking furniture/shelving/storage for these spaces, but when we get around to it, i'll be moving some things out of the bedroom. also, etsy plans entail rotating things out i'm not as attached too, and i'll never quit collecting, but understand that sometimes there can be too much.
babyfishmouth - not sure how to take the comment, but either way, where's this antique store?!
I'm shopping for pillows for my whole living room and this is EXACTLY the feel I'm going for. Any leads on where to find such awesome pillows?
cannot WAIT for a full tour!!
The white/black "+" pillows are from IKEA. They reminded me of Psychic TV.
The heart pillow is from Goodwill. I found this one within the last year, but I also found one when I was sixteen or so, I cut it up and stitched the anatomical heart to the back of a jacket. I was stopped by a random person who recognized the design and was told that hospitals give those pillows to people who've had heart attacks.
The red/black is from Red Fox Vintage. I had two, Otto ate the other one. Not sure if you knit or crochet, but I'm sure there's a pattern out there.
The striped, chevron, and moustache man were made by us. We'll be selling pillows and linens on Etsy soon.
Heart pillow on the bed! Where is it from?
What did they use to make the ikea mirrors stick out from the wall in the bedroom? Or do they come that way?
I wonder how they dust all that stuff...
Could someone please give me a good description of the bedspreads color? I absolutely love it...but don't know whether to search for blue or grey...? Thanks! Incredible room!
Thanks for all the info on the pillows. I'm awed and inspired by your creativity. Looking forward to your Etsy shop!
We collect bedrooms now?!
I adore that purple/grey duvet cover. i've been on the hunt for a new cover and that is a must have! any intel on where i can find it?
What is the name of your Etsy store?
