We go forward.
Valentines day. That one day of the year again. That one day where everyone around you might be a bit too sweet and bubbly. You might be making excuses calling it a Hallmark holiday as you put on your headphones and ignoring everything. Finding yourself rushing home and hope for the day to end sooner, but that's not really the point of any of these holidays.
Like many holidays, it's not about you.
Unfortunately, our society (and marketing strategies) keeps emphasizing on your needs over others and keeps so many of us blind by the simple things that keeps us human. Instead of thinking about yourself, try and think about giving back to others and reminding them that there are still good people out there.
Focus on the people around you or even a complete stranger. There's a lot of people out there that spend Valentines completely alone that were once loved. Spend time at a local nursing home. Give some of your time to people that have been forgotten by their own family. Share your gifts with them. If you can make amazing cupcakes, bring them. Bring them to work even or just hand them out on a subway. Volunteer your time at a children's hospital even. Just go out there and be yourself instead of covering up in bed sheets watching Netflixs.
You just have to go out there and try and brighten someone's day. Even if it's one person, that's one more person you wouldn't be helping by eating a pint of Ben & Jerrys. You can even spend time with your own family. If there's anything that Frozen has taught us, love isn't just limited to being in love.
Most importantly, don't expect to be rewarded for this, that's not the point. It's never the point.
Not everyone has the same neat and simple timeline finding love. Everyone has their own timeline, so don't feel left out or depressed. Your time will come and when it does, it'll be all worth the wait.

My sister asked if the events of "The Labyrinth" are meant to be Sarah dreaming, or are they real? Although my primary reaction was that she shouldn't put that much thought into any children's movie (or any instance of David Bowie in tight pants), I'd like to take this opportunity to put so much thought into this children's movie, that it'll blow your mind.
So why is David Bowie kidnapping a child from an underage Jennifer Connelley?
In a time long long ago a sorcerer named Jareth fell in love with a girl named Sarah. Sarah's father and step-mother would not let her marry Jareth because they wanted her to keep her, as a servant, to care for their other child. In a fit of rage Jareth kidnapped this other child and spirited it away to the fairy world. In this new world Jareth built a palace for his Sarah. He turned the spoiled child into a goblin, and kept it to be a servant.
Many stories of the fairy world tell us that time moves differently there than in our world (Rip Van Winkle for one). In the time it took for Jareth to build his kingdom, which he may have thought was little more than a few years, Sarah grew old and died.
Overcome by grief and addled by a lifetime spent in a strange world filled with monsters, Jareth goes mad. He refuses to believe that he has lost his love. He searches the mortal world from his castle, looking for her.
Sarah is Hebrew name. So, it is common, and has been in use for thousands and thousands of years. It does not take long (for him) to find a dark haired girl named Sarah, who has a younger sibling, and who feels that she is treated unfairly by her step mother. In a fit of rage he kidnaps this other child and spirits it away to the fairy world. Perhaps this new Sarah dies in the quest to find the child, perhaps she wins her sibling back and flees.
Jareth searches the mortal world from his from his castle, looking for her. It does not take long to find a dark haired girl named Sarah…
This is how Jareth becomes the goblin king. Every goblin in the goblin city is a child Jareth has stolen, who was not recovered by a Sarah. (he told the current Sarah that Toby would become a goblin if she did not find him in time)
This is why he builds the maze. The magic bog, the junk yard of useless treasures, all tricks to slow Sarah down. Because if he can only have his Sarah for the time it takes for her to regain the stolen child, he will make it take as long as possible, keep her as long as possible.
This is why there exists in our world a book containing the story. Because it has happened before. So many times. At some point some lucky Sarah must have returned to our world to tell the story.
This is why when the most recent Sarah first meets Hoggle at the start of the labyrinth, and introduces herself; "I'm Sarah", Hoggle responds "That's what I figured."
Because of course she's Sarah.
They were all Sarah.

"THROUGH A RAPIST'S EYES" (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!
It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a
situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…
FYI - Through a rapist's eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.
They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:
can't believe it is so cold out here, we're in for a bad winter. Now that you've seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would
not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and
armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our
instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using
much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel
little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must remember that" After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or
purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be
hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better safe than sorry.
Reblog this. Only the picture will appear on your blog.
Everyone needs to read this. Better safe than sorry.

Amazing Dive Bombing Birds
Off the coast of South Africa, Cape Gannets spot their targets from the air and dive like a squadron of bombers to pursue their prey. A Cape Gannet can snap up a fish before it realizes it's even being chased. Photographer Alexander Safonov is astounded as he watches these amazing birds dive 25 feet (8 meters) underwater to catch a meal from a school of sardines.
As you can see from looking at these photographs, Cape Gannets are awesome fishers. For one, they can spot their prey from almost 100 feet (30 m) up in the air. Large flocks scour the sea together – sometimes in groups of up to 1,000 – searching for shoals of fish. Then, once the birds spot their fishy meals, they plunge through the air like heavy arrows raining down. Their wings are flexed back against their bodies, and their tails and feet are pointed, making them look like Olympic high divers.
"Photographing diving cape gannets is one of the most incredible things I've done so far in my life," says Safonov. "Seeing hunting birds which normally belong to the air element deep underwater is a surreal sight. Sun rays, bubble trails, scales, chaotically moving bait fish – all contributes to the dramatic spectacle orchestrated and choreographed by nature itself."
The predatory gannets bomb the water at speeds approaching an incredible 75 miles (120 km) per hour. Luckily, they have no external nostrils for water to force its way into – because at those speeds, a whoosh of water up the nose would really sting! As mentioned earlier, these birds can reach depths of up to 25 feet (eight meters), driven only by their own momentum. Cape Gannets can then stay under the water for three to seven seconds – just long enough for them to snatch their slippery snacks in their sharp bills and gulp them down before surfacing again.

Most guys do not have to deal with the world of women. They're born from us, they live around us, but for the most part, we take care of our own shit. We buy our own tampons. We deal with skeevy guys who catcall us. We deal with crappier work situations. We deal with getting told we suck at things because we have a vagina, and that we need to be prettier.
Even when these guys married, they still married someone who dealt with this stuff solo. There might be stories and gripe sessions, but they tended to try to equate some part of their experience to the woman's. Sure, you're told to be beautiful, but I'm told to lift heavy things! Same, right?
Then, they had daughters.
Kids are very good at not dealing with their own shit. It's not their job. It's yours. Suddenly, you're shoved into a toy aisle where there's nary a Lego or car or building block, but instead, rows and rows of dead-eyed dolls. You realize how hard it is to find play clothes for a girl, because everything seems to be optimized for 'cute' rather than 'comfort.' You hear people compliment your daughter only on how pretty she is, and never on how smart or clever she is.
The girl goes to school, and you watch how she's never called on. You hear someone insult someone else by calling them 'a girl', and it stings. Your little girl is awesome! She's brave and smart and funny! Why would anyone use that as an insult? Then, you remember all the times you did it.
And then, you realize that, all along, you've been a part of the problem.
So, it's not a perfect way to get men to be more aware of feminism. It would be better if they were raised into it. But it's still a way.

As far as bottled iced tea goes, Aztec isn't too bad. I t has a certain bittersweet bite to it which reminds me of cranberries and gives it a rather unique edge. However, the fact that it is made out of instant tea ( as the label proclaims) makes me lose any respect I might otherwise have for this beverage. So overall, a satisfactory tea, but if you want to save your money, stick to the generic powder mixes.

Hello friends . . . grace and peace,
Ok, honest question: how many pumpkin spice foods or drinks have you had now that it's October? C'mon, they're EVERYWHERE!! Lattes, shakes, pancakes, donuts, crackers, soup, yogurt, tea, oatmeal . . . the list goes on and on. It's crazy how many different foods we associate with certain times of the year. Stuffing = Thanksgiving. Candy Hearts = Valentine's. Ham = Easter. Fruit Cake = um, no one eats that anyways so who cares!? ;-) But during this month of October, it seems that it's all about the PUMPKIN SPICE!
But October is also about many other things. There's things like rolling in piles of leaves, watching football games with your friends, hanging out for a weekend with family, campfires, trick-or-treating, and so much more. We here at the STYG want to honor all those things and more. Being a part of a group of people – a community – is possibly the best way for us to live our lives together, loving God and loving Neighbor. Jesus didn't come to earth and do all he did by himself. He invited women and men to follow him, to learn together, to form a community, and quite literally change the world.
During this month (and every month), you're invited to be a part of this community. There's so many things going on. Sunday afternoon events. Wednesday nights. Overnights (New Beginnings). Weekend retreats (The Fall Lock-In). Service Projects. Seriously, check out all the different things going on in October by going to the CALENDAR PAGE where you can download/print/see the whole month at a glance. If you'd like more details about different events, check out the YOUTH GROUP PAGE for all the different Sunday events. Also, don't miss the D-GROUPS PAGE which tells you all about the things happening on Wednesday Nights. The FILM SCHOOL PAGE let's you know our current and upcoming films for Sunday Mornings. And of course there's events where you'll need to register online so go to the SIGN UP FOR STUFF PAGE.
The bottom line is this: God invites us to be a part of the ongoing re-creation of this world. And we want to form a community that learns, practices, and grows together as we become empowered by God's Spirit to help heaven crash into earth. We pray you'll join us!
peace to you

Sunday was what I like to call a Trifecta. A Bears win, and losses by the Packers and the other team in our division that is a threat, which this year is the Lions. This one was a Super-Duper Trifecta. Because of the weather, I was able to watch the other games. While ours was in a tornado delay, I caught the Lions getting pounced on by the Steelers. Then our game was back on, caught that awesome, nail-biting, OT win at home, then was able to catch the end of the Packers getting beat by the Giants, (thanks Dave.)
After last week, us Bears fans were pretty bummed. Now, I think we have another shot. At this rate, we can sit back on Turkey day, stuff our faces and do something which almost feels sacrilegious, root for the Pack to beat the Lions, to put us comfortably on top of the division, ideally.
Yes, our run defense stinks, but there is something I'm starting to notice lately, something I haven't noticed since Urlacher has been gone. It's our defense's culture starting to return. It's the Monsters of the Midway culture. It's our ball hawking defense and the camaraderie and cohesiveness that makes it happen. It's everyone on the team coming up and congratulating you when you sack the QB or get a tackle for loss. It's the encouragement that gets results, whether it be a pick 6, or a teammate coming and patting you on the back, even when you were unable to make the play.
It's basically just everyone having each other's back. It's the whole "we're in this together" mentality, and it's capable of moving mountains. Detroit's Peak and Mt. Green Bay can be pretty hard to climb, much less move. It looked even better yesterday covered in mud. Throw a bunch of rookies out on the field because of injuries and tell them they have a rich history to preserve. Eventually they realize that they can also become said history. They have been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be one of the elite, a Chicago Bear, a Monster of the Midway.
The fans showed up for this one big time. They were instructed by Soldier Field staff to go out into the concourse or to their cars or wherever for two hours because of a tornado moving through the area and almost all of them came back, in all kinds of continuing bad weather. When they did, they made noise. They were into it. The weather was good last week against the Lions and they were too quiet. Last week, I was mad about their lack of involvement. I have forgiven them now. I'm just taking a wild guess, but maybe they were drinking a little during the game delay. Regardless, the 4th Phase did its own part in our victory.

Even moochers, when you cut them off, will work. It's not SOME, it's most. Many of those on unemployment, I'm talking about the ones who would work, are waiting for a job that's as good as the one they lost. When you refuse to support them, they take the job they can get. You know this, you also know that this is the bulk of those on extended unemployment...The more folks working the more commerce, the larger the GDP, the lesser the burden on taxpayers.
I blame Obama and his, for this. Those dependents will vote for them again and again, as if there was some 'stash'. Seems, in time, it will collapse, as in Greece.
Be sure, if it does, it will be the fault of the Republicans, as they are the needed scapegoat, as the Jews were with Hitler.
'The Road to Serfdom'.
There's a super storm raging over our economy that's been seeded and fueled by the federal government over a period of the past several decades. And it's literally costing the country trillions of dollars in GDP per year.
It's not merely garden-variety government waste that's the problem either. It's monumental stupidity by the government, combined with venial cupidity by voters who think they can get others to pay for their free lunch.
This government-created storm has, more than any other factor, contributed to the fiscal crisis; a crisis that is creating more expansive government programs, robbing us of more GDP, thus ensuring...

Judging from the playtest, I wouldn't buy 5e. Between racial features, class features, feats, backgrounds, themes, etc., there are way too many fiddly bonuses and rule exceptions built into each character. Keep the core simple, please.

The fact that most people seem to like the advantage/disadvantage mechanic tells me that either I'm broken or that most people will just like anything that involved rolling more dice and aren't looking deeper.
Its a simple mechanic that singlehandedly undoes so many other things. It makes crits boring, it makes mobs of like creatures tedious, it is so big a swing that it has to be used sparingly which in turn makes it pointless, it removes advantage stacking, and it takes the excitement away from watching the die on an important roll.
And I simply don't think that the impact of most of these things will be felt in one or two playtest sessions.
Oh well.

If you're worried about "fidgety bits" like races and backgrounds most PC-related modules aren't going to be designed for your play style anyway. "Basic" is an easy optional configuration for the spartan niche, though probably not a very effective intro tool compared to pre-gens with at least fixed backgrounds.

The percentage of people liking the direction of the next edition is not that important. What's more important is how WotC responds to the feedback they get and the most important thing of all is what the new edition will look like when we get the chance to buy the final product.
So being pessimistic or optimistic about the percentage at this point in time is irrelevant and a supremely pointless exercise in wasting time.
As for the article, I'm personally worried. Mearls says the most frequent praise they got was fans telling them how faster and streamlined it was. He then proceeds to say they're gonna add a bunch of clutter and useless details and "options" that those same fans are claimoring for.
It's becoming a running gag when designing new editions of DnD or knockoffs like Pathfinder. Everyone starts by being fed up with clunky, slow systems and starts from the basics. Then they add and add and add until it is just as pointlessly clunky or worse.
Is it that hard to get that DnD needs to be simple to be accessible and successful in the long term?
Note to fans and designers who want a faster, simpler game as well as a gazillion useless detailed options: You can't get both. It's one or the other.

D&D Next, then the other 40% said that they didn't like the current direction. But that doesn't correctly represent all of the the survey options. Perhaps the remaining 40% were split between just 5% who disliked the direction of D&D Next, and 35% who were simply neutral or undecided?

Besides that, of course, a bonus makes you able to accomplish things you otherwise couldn't, whereas advantage only increases your chances of success, without changing what you can accomplish.
I'm assuming that with your "less dice" position that you want to get rid of damage rolls as well?

No Easy Customs Process for LABACE Arrivals This Year
A record 71 aircraft are expected for LABACE 2012 at São Paulo Congonhas Airport next week (August 15 to 17), but unlike last year those coming from overseas will have to stop elsewhere to clear customs, coming and going.
"Last year Guarulhos International Airport was being repaved and couldn't handle the additional traffic. Also, customs decided to temporarily use a new, simplified procedure for bringing in the airplanes," Ricardo Nogueira, director general of Brazil business aviation association ABAG, which organizes LABACE, told AIN. "ABAG met with customs, which set up a task force at its regional office on Avenida Celso Garcia to centralize LABACE paperwork, and a temporary customs post at Congonhas so airplanes could fly in directly."
The expedited customs procedures are no longer and the temporary customs post ended when the runway at Guarulhos became fully operational, and no special provisions for Congonhas were arranged for this year's show. ABAG is advising that exhibitors use a local customs broker to ease the process. "Aircraft coming into Brazil for LABACE can also clear customs at several other airports besides Guarulhos," said Nogueira, citing airports that, unlike Congonhas, are international and have customs services: Boa Vista in the Amazon; Recife in Pernambuco; Confins in Minas Gerais; and privately run Cabo Frio Airport on the coast east of Rio.

My Story Started By Lights Triggering Anger
Darkness Triggering sadness
Loud Noises Would Trigger Anger
Sad Voices Would Make Me Cry
One Time My Heart Raced
I Felt Like I Was Going To Die
Went To The Hospital Got Out
Then Everthing Was Talking To Me
I Was Able To Get A Message From Everything Around me
Ended up home Had A Panic Attack
Went To Sleep
A Week Later I Was Told I Was Talking With My Eyes Rolled To The Back
A year ago, March, we were told our son had Paranoid Schizophrenia. Two words that would explain so much, yet throw us into a world of fear and uncertainty…through NAMI and our participation in the recent NAMI Walks, we found we were not alone….
I am diagnosed with schizophrenia paranoid type, a diagnosis I shared with my mother, who died 10 years ago. There are memories of a difficult and traumatic childhood and young adulthood, growing up with a single mother who, non-compliant with treatment, was 90% of the time, psychotic. At fifteen, I came to Milwaukee to live with my father, a successful IBM National Accounts Manager.
Read More
My name is Steve, and I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in April of 1997. It was four years after I graduated from college, and I could not hold a steady job.
Mental Illness has been a challenge for me, but one I feel I am overcoming. NAMI has given me stability and satisfaction that I did not have before. Due to stigma, my life was limited and empty. I barely left the house for two years. Learning about my illness and meeting others with similar challenges enabled me cope and gradually move forward.
I have paranoid schizophrenia. My first episode was almost a year ago. It was terrifying and the worst experience of my life. I was stressed out with school and wasn't getting much sleep. One day I woke up and I was completely delusional. I was confused and I knew something wasn't right with me. I could not figure out what was true from what wasn't true. I thought there were cameras all over my apartment that were watching me and broadcasting everything I did on TV. I thought that everything I said was being recorded and would be used against me. I thought I was a threat to national security. I thought a lot of things were happening when they really weren't. I was hospitalized for a week as the doctors tried to find a medication that would work for me. My diagnosis was a brief episode of psychosis. The medicine that worked for me treats schizophrenia.
Now almost a year later the medicine continues to work. I will be graduating college summa cum laude with high honors. I have lots of friends and I enjoy life. Schizophrenia is not the dreaded disease that it used to be. For me, it's completely manageable as long as I take my medication. There is hope.

"It would be kind of odd to have, say, a Kansas Sampler in New Jersey."

WICHITA — Maintenance workers at the Garvey Center had to come in on their days off this weekend, but it wasn't because of a maintenance problem.
It's because Larry Weber, vice president with Builders Inc., had the idea to paint the number of Shocker wins on the top of the 26-story building along with changing the downtown building's lights to appear Shocker yellow.
"I thought what better way to show … appreciation than to light up the building and put the numbers on top," Weber says.
First was "32" on Friday.
"When they were up there painting, people were honking horns and flashing lights," Weber says.
Then came "33" on Saturday and "34" on Sunday.
The building's lights were changed to yellow with the help of some theatrical gel. Weber says his maintenance crew has a theatrical background.
He says thanks to social media, people from as far away as Australia have commented on the display.
"So it's getting some worldwide play, but then it's a world-class team, right?"
Weber says he "of course" will continue to have the numbers repainted to reflect each win. He won't say what he's going to do after the final number is up.
"That's going to be a surprise."
WICHITA — Just as Janelle King is having to move her Workroom and JK Design because of the Domestic Laundry sale, neighboring Designers Expo has a change of plans as well.
Kathy Haines was prepared to expand her store, which sells residential decorative hardware and flooring, into the former ACI Design Studio space at the Domestic Laundry building. She was close to signing a lease when the building sale suddenly came about.
"We had been talking about it since the moment they decided they were closing down next door," Haines says. "We are so crammed on top of ourselves."
Like King, Haines is taking a positive approach, though.
"I said, 'Well, I'll probably save myself $5,000 a month,'" she says. "It's probably not a bad thing in the long run."
Designers Expo opened in 2005 and moved to 1409 E. Douglas in late 2006. Haines says business is great.
"We never had a recession," she says. "The niche market was definitely the place to be when the housing market fell apart."
Now that the store isn't expanding, Haines says it may be time to reorganize to gain some more space. She says that will be a challenge, though.
"We're always busy," she says, adding, "and that's not a bad thing either."
UPDATED — As the Workroom nears its first anniversary, designer Janelle King is unexpectedly searching for new space.
The Domestic Laundry building, which is at 1425 E. Douglas just east of Old Town, has a new owner who wants her space.
King says that's not a bad thing on several levels.
"Now we know exactly what to look for in round two," she says.
For instance, her current 2,400 square feet is not large enough. King says she needs between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet for what she calls home tech textile fabrication, such as custom drapes, pillows and bedding.
Also, she says, "Honestly, despite being on Douglas, we still don't have the greatest visibility."
King says she'd like to remain downtown and is eyeing several sites.
"I love the central location as well as just the culture and vibe down here."

I'm going back to the US next week to visit my family, and it just so happens to be in time for my brother's birthday. So, I thought it'd be a nice little present to help him pony up the cash to build a new PC so we can play GW2 together. Yay! He mentioned before that he likes this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119233 Said case won't be included in the budget though, so we can just focus on the guts of the system.
We'll be using Newegg so please feel free to cough up dem links! What we need is:
Video card: We've always been happy with Nvidia in the past, so we'd like to continue with them. Maybe a GTX 660ti?
CPU: Sticking with Intel.
Motherboard: A future proof mobo to allow for upgrades and OC'ing if he wants to later on.
Ram: 8 gigs of whatever.
Hard Drive: I know it's pretty common to have both a standard HD and SSD, but I think it's best to skip the SSD and use that money for a better video card. Maybe a HD from the Caviar series? Nothing more than 1tb.
Power Supply: A future proof PSU to allow GPU upgrades and OC'ing if he wants to later on.
Optical Drive: Whatever.
Would like to spend $1,000, but am willing to go up to $1,200 if it means getting some sweet parts.

Building a PC: A present for my bro

I'm not going to comment on the motherboard, CPU and GPU (too long since I've built my own rig, I'm in need of a new one myself), but...
I wouldn't skip the SSD. Those things aren't expensive at all anymore. Get a 128GB SSD and a 1TB good HDD. It's absolutely worth the money to have a good and fast drive for your OS.Lady Rhonwyn (sister of Danea, Katlinel, Gwendydd, and the rest)

This has a list of good and affordable 128 Gig SSD's below 120 euro:
you might not be able to read the article, since it's german, but you get the rating, name of SSD and price .
09-09-2012, 16:54 #4
Video card: Solid choice.
Case: Again, solid choice.
Processor: intel's core i5 3570k 230 USD
MoBo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ~135 USD
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper 1600 mhz ~41 USD
HDD: Up to you, but based on your statements, 1TB western digital caviar black which is ~110 USD.
(Also, I own one of these and boot up takes me about 1 minute 20 seconds.)
Power supply: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 ~90
(A 650W supply is more than enough for the 660 Ti AND have room for OC)
Optical drive: Up to you. Some want blu-ray, others want just a plain CD/DvD drive so you decide. I would advise against Lite-On brand CD/DvD drives because they are freakishly loud.
10-09-2012, 05:32 #5
Thanks for the help. I decided to get this SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227791

The products I listed (and replaced by the items you listed) comes out to be about 966 USD (not including optical drive and Windows). Again, it's up to you to make that decision on what to buy.
13-09-2012, 20:08 #8
Since you're getting everything on newegg, make sure to check and see if there are any combo deals on the stuff you want. Don't forget the other little things you'll need, either, like case fans, a CPU fan/heatsink, and some thermal compound (I highly recommend arctic silver). Also make sure the mobo and video card can hook up to his current mouse/keyboard and monitor.
I was able to make a pretty succesful build about 2 years ago for $1100 (mostly thanks to black friday sales), so I'm sure your budget should be fine. I don't think the brand for RAM matters too much, just find whatever's cheap and well-rated (personally, I have Kingston RAM, but only because of the rebates they had at the time). For a PSU, I got a Kingwin. It's been quite reliable and also pretty quiet. It's also modular, so you only have to plug in the cables you're actually going to use.
Also, I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem, but I found case fans a huuuge pain to put in, as they were unthreaded and I could not get the darn things to screw in. I ended up getting some silicon fan 'screws' (they're recommended to reduce noise, but they're also easier to put in). If you go that route, just make sure you get SILICONE ones. I got the rubber ones once and they turned brittle and broke.
EDIT: As for OEM, it's just the item without all the retail packaging. If you don't need any manuals or fancy box, I'd go OEM.
19-09-2012, 03:51 #9
I just got back from vacation... with massive jet lag.
This was a first time PC build for the both of us, and it was very easy. Anyone thinking of buying a gaming machine instead of building your own; build your own. Seriously.
Thanks for the advice in this thread, especially about the SSD. Boot and load times are crazy fast, and overall his PC is pretty beastly. I look forward to building my own hopefully sometime this year.
Thanks again!

size? x Nike Air Huarache Light – Release Date
October 24th, 2014 by Patrick Johnson | No comments
The size? x Nike Air Huarache Light arrives on October 31st, 2014. Needless to say the Huarache line is back, but overseas, this hasn't been news as they've been holding down the name for quite some time. size? continues to work their respective magic whilst collaborating with the Swoosh, and the latest pair features an earthy aesthetic in an homage to the Nike Mowabb. All of the unofficial references to the Air Mowabb are making us hungry for the real thing, but in the meantime, size? does an incredible job at replicating the perfect fall aesthetic on the crowd-pleasing Nike Air Huarache Light. The clean royal blue mesh and orange work together on the upper to contrast that lifestyle-induced tan suede mudguard while speckling on the midsole adds an attention to detail ethos that will make this pair rather coveted. Check out more detailed images after the break and even though we'll have to anticipate whether this size? collaboration will be arriving to global retailers at a later date or not, you can always secure your pair straight from the source.

POZ Track-By-Track: Pentimento - Pentimento
Our buddies in Pentimento have officially released their self-titled debut album today, regardless of troubles from their past label. PropertyOfZack is stoked to be posting a Track-By-Track for the record that was written by drummer Mike Hansen. Check out all the details for the songs on the great record below!
Something I'm personally excited about is the fact that we were able to do this record during/after a lot of experiences on the road. Touring can definitely inspire particular thoughts and feelings that may not have been conjured up if you've never spent 8 hours in a van that has exhaust fumes leaking through the vents, not to mention no real sleep, real food, or a shower in days. This particular song was something that came from sitting in the passenger seat during a drive through Alabama. The opening line "…and I stared out into what looked like always for what felt like forever" is just supposed to represent the way it seems to feel when you're staring at nothing but pavement for the eternity that some drives can be. The road gives you a lot of time to think, and more often than I care to admit, the compass of blame and doubt begins to shift itself in such a way that it ends up pointing in your own direction before you're even aware. Introspection is a bitter sweet process, and that's where this song comes from.
This was another song that was written while on the road during our first Full US tour that shaped itself inside a small room in Newtown, PA. I sat in an empty space with a guitar and my laptop, recording and re-recording the guitar ideas I had for this and whispering lyrics into the built-in microphone so that no one else in the house could hear me. When we got home from Europe, we recorded a full-band demo of this song and the original chorus was actually completely different. We had about two weeks to work on these songs before hitting GCR to record, and Jerry and I sat in our practice space late one night jamming the chorus over and over. Something about it didn't quite fit at first, and the original lines for the chorus ended up being what we used to the ending of the song. Thanks to a giant dry erase board and Jerry's input, we crafted the chorus of "Circles" into what it is today.
Conscience (Consequence)
This song is one of the older ideas that we had in our bank for this record. It was our first attempt at doing something with a particular "groove". Structurally, I think it's easy to tell that this song falls in the same fashion of our older songs. The parts are very linear, and don't repeat in the same way at all throughout the duration of the music. While this song doesn't have a big chorus or even a hook necessarily, it's one of my favorites and is probably one of the most accurate representations of the thoughts and feelings I had at the time.
The Wind
The beginning of this song actually came from a dream I had about my younger sister; in which I told her that "I needed to go wherever the wind took me" and her reply was "then please let me be the wind". I wrote it down as soon as I woke up because I thought it was beautiful. The lyrics to this song aren't actually about my sister or anything, but what she said in the dream definitely inspired it to a degree. The words in this song are also somewhere around 4 or 5 years old. I just never had the correct outlet to use them. Included in the liner notes of the record is/will be a picture taken from "that roof" mentioned in the lyrics of this song as well. I think those sorts of things help tie records together. Adding a visual element can add an entirely different expression to be felt.
No One Lets You Know
This one almost didn't make the cut for the record. In its place was a song called "The Rain" and we battled with the idea of which song to use for quite a while. I think the internal struggle that comes along with getting older is something everyone deals with at some point. I don't think any of us ever expected that we would some day see the end of our 18th year, or our 21st year, or that we'd actually feel old even though we haven't lived through but a third of our life span. It's a terrifying concept that we all have or will face eventually. But no one lets you know. It just sort of happens.
Days Away
The guitar idea for this was something Lance came up with right after we'd left the studio. I loved it so much that I decided to keep working it into a song even though we were "finished" recording. This came out during a period of time where Lance and Jerry were on a road trip to California with some friends, so I'd sent them the idea to get their thoughts once I'd demoed it out. I was nervous to try and convince them that I had some material that NEEDED to be on this record, and felt compelled to get back in the studio ASAP to record. They agreed that if we had the time and opportunity to get more material recorded that could potentially strengthen the integrity of the record, then why not? So while they were gone, Vinny and I took to GCR once again and laid down all the drums/bass/guitars for this song as well as "Almost Atlantic" and waited for Lance and Jerry to return to get their input and Jerry's voice on it. This ended up being a favorite of ours and was almost the single we used for the music video.
The Bridge (Acoustic)
Originally intended for a compilation release, the acoustic version of "The Bridge" adapted from our split with Young English was something Jerry laid down in the matter of a couple hours at GCR studios. We all were so blown away by his work on this vocally that we decided it needed to end up on the record. His harmony choices are some of my favorite things that he's ever done, and since this song is so important to us as a band and individuals - we're so excited to feature this version on the LP.
Almost Atlantic
This was another song that came about after our initial recording process ended. It was an attempt at creating a certain dynamic. The use of two different voices during the chorus was important to us because that's exactly how it will end up being in a live setting, and our goal is to offer a live show that's just as tight as the recording.
Subtle Words
How could I even begin to explain my thoughts on this song? Simply put - the experience of putting this song together was a journey that I will never forget. First and foremost, this track features a steel guitar that waxes and wanes through the verses, played by the greatest man to have ever lived. I like to call him "Dad". Having my father step into the studio with us to help paint the picture that this song ended up to be is something I will always hold close to my heart. My father has been the driving force behind my musical endeavors since I was a child. He's been in bands and played music for most of his life, and that has always inspired me in a lot of ways. I'm lucky to have had both of my parent's utmost support through the years, but as a musician, and as a son, there's always that thing in the back of your head saying "Make your father proud". What my dad recorded with us that day will haunt me forever, and always remind me to appreciate his influence. It was amazing to have things come full circle that way.
As if all that wasn't enough, we got to feature a string section on this song that is a monster all on its own. Working along side composer Richie English, we got to take advantage of his talents in putting together this arrangement. The story of what this adds to the song speaks for itself when you listen to the track, so I won't go on and on about what it's done in that regard. I will say however that being in GCR that day, listening to what was going on around me changed my life forever.
For Winter
We refer to this song as "the one with the full house riff". This song happened from us just jamming real late one summer night in an old practice space downtown. Lance started killing it with this lead thing he came up with, and we kinda ran with it from there. It's the only song we've ever put together that way, and whenever we play it I get filled with the same sense of joy that I had when we were sweating and laughing and having a genuinely good time playing music together that night.
On Summer
This is the oldest Pentimento song that made it on to the record. We'd been sitting on this one ever since we left GCR after finishing "WRECKED". It was going to be on the split, but we decided it wasn't ready just yet. This song means the most to me personally, and I'm terrified of what people will think of it because of that. It was one of those songs that just pours out of you and you say "yes. This is exactly what I'm trying to say". In that moment of clarity - I called our long time friend, and preproduction engineer Jake Darling and asked to meet at our practice space. I demoed this out and practically cried while doing the vocal parts at the end. I'm really happy with the way this came out and I hope when people hear it, they feel it the same way we felt it while recording it.

Publisher Comments:
All new, never-before-published? from the author of the phenomenal bestseller The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
When Dr. Joseph Murphy wrote his bestselling book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, he set forth the basic techniques for enriching one?s life by programming the subconscious mind. This all-new book, based on forty years of previously unpublished research, shows how the subconscious mind can be used by people in their workplace when dealing with both routine and unexpected problems faced on the job.
To illustrate Murphy?s principles, editor Arthur Pell has provided examples from the lives of past and contemporary business leaders who have achieved success by applying these concepts in their professional lives. This book covers the most vital subjects in career and business success including: establishing goals, developing self-confidence and resilience, mastering the law of attraction, leading a dynamic team, effective communication, managing time efficiently, and more.
About the Author

1/1 Photo of Thin & Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
10 mins
This recipe is from Fine Cooking. These are so buttery, crisp and delicious! The key to the crispness is the ratio of more white sugar than brown, the proportion of butter to the rest of the ingredients, and the fact that the butter and egg are at room temperature (the butter is soft). Edited 5/22/06: I added tips in step 10 and 11 to help make sure they turn out thin and crispy. Another tip might be to warm the cookie sheet before adding the dough (I don't do this, though). Maybe the tips will help. As you can see in the picture, mine come out thin, and I think they're very buttery and crispy. Chocolate chip cookies were first served at the Tollhouse Inn in Massachusetts.

Really that great? — I mean its an interesting idea but would this game even be looked at twice if it wasn't Chillingo distributing? Hm. Still recommend Blast Angle HD over this if there were contest for novel concepts...

In terms of the provisions of the Constitution of India, the tribal's come under the category of Scheduled Tribes (STs). As per 2001 Census, they are 8.43 crore in number, constituting 8.2 per cent of India's total population. The tribal's are concentrated in the following three regions of India: (i) North-Eastern Region (NER): Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. (ii) Central Tribal Belt (CTB): Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Dada and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. (iii) Other States/UTs: Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, J&K, Tamil Nadu, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.
The tribal communities live in about 15 per cent of the country's area, in varying ecological and geo-climatic conditions, plains, forests, hills and inaccessible areas. Tribal groups are at different stages of social, economic and educational development. They have their presence in the States and Union Territories except Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi and Pondicherry. The predominant tribal-populated States of the country, i.e. those with tribal population of more than 50 per cent of the total population of the States are: Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Union Territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep.
If a comparison is made amongst ST population alone, more than half the ST population of the country is concentrated in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The largest number of tribes (62 per cent) is in the State of Orissa.
The Sixth Schedule under Article 244 of India's Constitution identifies Autonomous Districts in the Tribal Areas in the States of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. It also makes provisions for recognition of Autonomous Regions within these Autonomous Districts. These have been...

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the NuForce Icon 2 by Jim Richardson Everything you always wanted in a stereo receiver, except the radio An integrated amplifier is essentially a receiver without a built-in AM/FM tuner. You get power to drive your speakers, audio controls, and inputs for music source components. Connect an iPod, a computer, a network music player, or any other device that can play Internet radio, and you may find you have no need for an AM/FM radio. You can carry your entire music collection around on an iPod® or a laptop. That's cool. Too bad you can't carry a great stereo system along with you, too.Oh, wait. Now you can.About the size of a ham sandwich, the NuForce Icon 2 easily fits in your suitcase, backpack, or lunch pail. Add a set of small bookshelf speakers or a pair of high-grade headphones, and you have an affordable audiophile system that's perfect for a desktop, dorm room, or hotel suite. Going overseas for an extended stay? The included AC adapter handles worldwide voltages. Read moreYou can connect up to three music sources to the Icon 2. Input #1 is a stereo minijack, which accepts the headphone output from your smartphone or MP3 player. Input #2 is a pair of RCA jacks, ready to take on a CD player or iPod® dock. Input #3 is a type B USB jack, which takes the output of your computer into the Icon 2's onboard 96kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter. If you've never heard digital music files played through a high-quality DAC, you're in for big surprise.Good headphones are the most economical way to get a taste of high-end audio. But you won't get high-end sound out of your headphones if you plug them straight into your laptop. The headphone amp inside the Icon 2 will quickly spoil you. It reveals layers of musical detail that ordinary headphone jacks obscure and opens your ears to a sense of the performance space.The Icon 2 couldn't be simpler to operate. The top knob turns the amp on and controls volume. The bottom knob is the music source selector. A sturdy base is included to keep your Icon 2 firmly planted on your desktop.From the review NuForce Icon 2 makes a forceful case for a quality DAC"If you have good quality or high-performance headphones or speakers, then the NuForce is decidedly worth the investment - especially if your audio files have a higher bit rate than 128 kbps. I'd recommend them to anyone (like myself) that saves files in some kind of lossless format - or anyone truly serious about music with a large digital collection.— Ralph Graves, Crutchfield Blog Editor and A/V Writer Highlights:18 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms at 1% THD+N24 watts x 2 channels into 4 ohms at 1% THD+Nbuilt-in 96kHz/24-bit USB DAChigh-performance headphone amplifier3.5mm stereo minijack audio input1 pair RCA analog audio inputsstereo minijack audio outputsilicone standRJ-45 speaker connectors (speaker wire included)AC adapter handles worldwide voltages (60W, 100-240VAC)1-1/4"W x 6"H x 4-1/2"Dweight: 1 lb.warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Hands-on research from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Written By Jeff B, Philadelphia, PA on Friday, September 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased to amplify and improve the sound of my portable devices, especially my Sirius XM unit. I was amazed at the clarity and dynamics that it produced. Clean, crisp highs and vibrant, resonating lows. I'm hooked on it and use it every day. A well engineered device! Requires 120v AC so I need to use an inverter to use it in my vehicle. Pros: Excellent analog reproduction. Great dynamics and clean sound. Cons: Would be perfect if it would run on both 120v AC and 12v DC. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

White approaches his subject from four perspectives: intellectual history, the sociology of knowledge, the phenomenon of professionalization in the late 19th & 20th centuries in America, & the recurrent concerns of tort law since its emergence as a discrete field. He puts the intellectual history of this unique branch of law into the general picture of philosophy, sociology, & literature in what is not only a major work of legal scholarship but a tour de force for anyone interested in American intellectual history.
