El Paso Area Natural Hormone Replacement Doctors
West Texas Wellness – El Paso Texas Natural Hormones
Dr. Juan Fitz knows first hand the benefits of Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy, and he feels that to be able to feel full of energy and accomplish his daily tasks without being fatigued, lower cholesterol without the use of dangerous drugs, being able to lose weight, and regain his muscle tone are all benefits that have enriched his life. Aging, stress, poor dietary choices, or a lack of exercise can all contribute to hormone decline. Many patients experiencing problems like depression, anxiety, memory loss, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, libido issues, and sexual dysfunction do not have to suffer from these symptoms. Some forms of hormone replacement therapy only offer a one size fits all approach, which gives the same doses of hormones to different people with varied needs. However, natural hormone replacement therapy, which is offered at West Texas Wellness Center, can help patients recapture balance and take back their health. Read more…

Deborah Hartman, R.N., M.S.N., C.N.M. – Houston Natural Hormone Doctor
Wellness is more than the absence of disease. I see my role as helping patients bring balance back into their lives. Many women suffer needlessly with symptoms that are not necessarily debilitating, but take the joy out of life. Feeling stressed, tired and upset can be the result of something happening on the systemic level. Once identified, these problems are often not difficult to correct but bring tremendous benefit to a woman's overall quality of life. Looking good is a function of feeling good. Chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping, obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, memory loss or fuzziness, and unusual mood swings can be the result of hormone loss or imbalance. Read more…

Dr. Gilbert Manso aims to learn more about natural remedies and use them whenever possible, as in the case of using natural hormone replacement therapy.

Natural hormones have several major differences, and the body can easily metabolize them and use them like it would its own hormones. Natural hormones can be dosed according to individual needs, which is an added benefit to natural hormone supplementation. Thousands of patients have reaped the benefits of natural hormone replacement therapy without having to encounter debilitating side effects. Read more…

Asra Oberoi, M.D. – Houston Natural Hormone Doctor
Ovation Med Spa in Houston has quickly become one of the premier aesthetic medical facilities in the country, offering Natural Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy to balance declining hormones and several other aesthetic treatments. Even a small fluctuation in hormone levels can cause big changes in cells or even disrupt the balance throughout your entire body, and too much or too little of a hormone can have serious consequences. Research continues to indicate that hormones are key to the intricate interrelationships of the body's parts and systems. Evidence repeatedly points to the relationship between the hormonal imbalance of menopause and andropause and an increased risk for developing cancer, osteoporosis, stroke, thyroid malfunction, and other age-related disorders. Symptoms can begin as early as 30 years of age and are often misdiagnosed and mistreated with anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, sleeping pills, and adult ADD medications, but men and women can get help naturally and safely with the clinic's Natural hormone therapy programs.

Texas HealthNet Medical Clinic – Natural Hormones San Antonio
The San Antonio Natural hormones specialists at Texas HealthNet Medical Clinic have helped many patients combat the effects of hormone imbalances with Natural hormone replacement therapy.

The goal of hormone therapy is to restore the hormones that the body has always produced back to levels that naturally occur in a healthy young man or woman's body. Since they can be formulated according to specific hormonal needs, an accurate balance of hormones can be achieved. With the right doctor in one's corner and natural Natural Hormones, men and women can now make sure every new decade of their lives is just as satisfying and enjoyable as the last, without having to submit themselves to the negative effects of non-human type hormones.

Keyword(s):Socio-Cultural Aspects of Electroacoustic Music , Electroacoustic Music
In this article, the author examines the borders and the points of intersection and crossover between electroacoustic art music and popular music, from musical, aesthetic and cultural perspectives. He suggests that musically there is partial crossover occurring, in that there are popular artists who are creating interesting sounds that would not be out of place in an electroacoustic composers sonic palette. However, aesthetically and culturally there remains a mutual exclusiveness as the two musical cultures are far too independent idealistically and aesthetically.

Wow. Will see all of that many times over this weekend at the beach. Now on to something that matters.
Australian Olympic swimmer Stephanie Rice has found herself in the middle of ridiculous controversy after she tweeted a photo of herself modeling a two-piece swimsuit on June 22. Yep, a woman who wears a swimsuit in order to compete is in hot water for a photo of her wearing a swimsuit.
Granted, the swimsuit modeled by the 24-year-old Rice, a three-time gold medalist at the 2008 Beijing Games, in the now-controversial photo is a bit more on the provocative side than what she dons in the pool during events, but the backlash she has received has bordered on the absurd. It is a completely tasteful article of swimwear.
The photo in question follows.
The photo accompanied the following tweet:
Thankyou to the Gorgeous @elliegonsalves for my birthday @veveswimwear bikiniinstagr.am/p/MNBZEMkQds/
— Stephanie Rice (@ItsStephRice) June 23, 2012
All the hullabaloo over that? Seems like much ado about nothing to me. Rice has been the subject of criticism related to her choice of attire previously, when a racy photo of her portraying a sexy police officer made its around on the internet a few years ago.
A cursory perusal of Rice's Twitter account indicates that most people have looked upon the photo favorably, as evidenced by her responding to various tweets expressing gratitude, but there are some — not surprisingly, in this day and age of political correctness — nattering nabobs of negativity who have taken offense to Rice wearing a swimsuit (example here). Would a matching swimming cap made it more acceptable? How about if she were wearing one of those old-timey swimsuits from the 1920s, would that have been tasteful enough? Doubt it.
A column found at The Christian Post, of all places (shockingly), highlights those who have made statements critical of Rice's photo, including a quote from a column written by Amy Harris from the Daily Telegraph:
"It may have landed her in hot water in the past, but it seems the lure of social networking is just too strong for full-time swimmer and part-time poseur Stephanie Rice. The Olympian has shared yet another racy image- this time in her birthday suit. Well sort of."
Yes, except for, you know, all that material covering her body. If it wasn't for that bikini top and bottom which covers up what reasonable people expect not to see when someone is wearing a swimsuit, Rice really is practically in her birthday suit! Well sort of.
Ultimately, Rice looks great in the swimsuit, works damn hard to get that body and has every right to show it off in a completely appropriate manner. Let the naysayers nay and ignore them. Rice has more than earned each and every accolade she receives for keeping herself in such great competitive condition and if she wants to flaunt it responsibly, good for her.

Wow. Will see all of that many times over this weekend at the beach. Now on to something that matters.
Wow, I agree with T Traynor.
These people need to get a grip!!
I guess any young pretty women in a 2 piece bikini is considered being " provacative" wow nothing wrong with that. Go to any public pool and you will see minors wearing less.
Surely people have better things to do that worry about this.
Any beautiful person, place, or thing is a pleasure for the eyes to look at regardless of age or gender. Pleasure is the reaction to anyone or thing
beautiful the time and place or debatable and so the controversy. I vote
she is not doing anything wrong.
Is there a double standard here? What if this was one of the male swimmers showing off a new speedo…? Or are the same people/groups (i.e., Moral police) saying anything about the women beach volley ball players? Besides, don't the people that are complaining have anything better to do??? Come on… Everyone knows… "SKIN TO WIN, BABY!!!"
Who was it that said "Much ado about nothing?" I think that applies here. Move on people, there's nothing to see.
It might not seem like a big deal for most people, but reallity is that athletes or mature people specially role models are supposed to incourage and educate young people specially children in regards to the dangers about posting semi nude pictures online. thats my take on that!! because once on the web these pics will stay there forever and that could damage their reputation later on in life.
Pure jealousy on the part other females. Get out of your house more!
I think the people who think this is to revealing need to watch the Beach vollyball events in the same Olympics that they want her to be banned from, besides she is a swimmer and personally I think she looks great, lets all go to Beach in Ausy land and see how many thongs we can count.
i think its sexy, and shes a grown BEAUTIFUL woman. i think she should call me…!
Amy Harris from the Daily Telegraph was making a play on the phrase "Birthday Suit." Rice received the bathing suit for her birthday. Harris wasn't saying that Rice was "sort of" nude, she was making a play on that phrase and the fact that the bathing suit was a birthday gift!
Bkini is too sexy but no one will say a word about her posing for playboy and getting paid!
If ya got it flaunt it. X
I hate these moral/religious/conservative uptight anus's that seem to forget the 10th commandment. what's that about bringing no disrespect to your neighbor or thier property or anything that belongs to them. what about those 7 sins Envy & judge not least ye b not judged, forgiveness and all that stuff. these ppl that have a problem with her swim suit and trying ruin her bday, are jealous turds!
she looks great/HOT in her swim suit! she has the right to be happy and express herself, and b happy with a gift from a friend. twitter should not be used by turds as a way or means to bully other ppl! its just wrong! *Flush!!!*
People…People…Its a swimsuit, she's not naked!! I want my wife to wear that!!
who cares really what she does…. she is a beautiful woman… and if she wants to pose half naked in front of a camera…so be it… l lived on a tropical island for most my life and i saw women more naked than that keep religion out of it please
Welcome to the land of Australia, where one single harmless act can turn into a worldwide controversy. First, Nick Darcy with the guns. Now, Stephanie Rice with the swimsuit. Seriously, I am Australian and my message to other Australians who are in lieu with the media is to just lighten up. Nick Darcy is not trying to get on the cover of a gun magazine or something; he just posted a picture of him and his mate at a gun shop. Same with Stephanie Rice; she's not trying to get onto Playboy or Zoo. She even said it herself, it's something she got for her birthday.
In all honesty, people should just to learn to take it easy. I've seen stuff a lot worse than this, Australians, so if you think this stuff is bad, you don't even know what happens outside Australia.
Looks great, how about a rear view too?
The only people that are complaining are the women who DON'T look that good!!!!!!
She looks great. She has the right to show herself on swimsuit. We are in a free country. No one should criticize somebody who wants to do something she thinks is right for herself. It is her birthday, so let it go, just give that as a gift. If my wife has the body, I would ask her to wear that too.
The "birthday suit" comment was a joke on the suit having been a birthday gift.
Not that I agree with it, but it wasn't quite the complete exaggeration/outright lie you seem to be framing it as either.

We do not believe in what most investment representatives tell their clients, which is to "ride it out" or "stay the course" when the going gets tough. We prefer to find shelter when there is a storm. When the sun comes out again is when we look for gains. Giving up time on your life calendar to make up large losses is simply not acceptable.
We use a "Three Bucket" approach to investing designed to provide liquidity, allow for retirement income, protect principal and generate long-term wealth. Each bucket has a specific purpose. The amount that goes in each bucket depends on each client's personal circumstances, goals and desires.
Your First Bucket…
|…holds money that is for planned expenses and potential emergencies. In general, that money is kept in the bank, U.S. Government debt or municipal bonds. For those with household income into the six figures (over $170,000 for couples), cash value life insurance offers some interesting living tax benefits, in addition to the tax-free death benefit.
Your Second Bucket…
|…is your retirement nest egg which will hold the bulk of your assets. While we want to see growth and income, protecting against large losses is our first mission. Here we use Tactical Asset Management portfolios that are designed to protect principal while allowing participation in the upside of rising markets and are appropriate in this bucket. This is a total return approach that seeks to avoid large losses that are life altering as a first priority.
Your Third Bucket…
|…is for long-term growth and potentially generating multi-generational wealth. For this bucket we will usually own Kirk's "Punch Card" Stock Portfolio (stocks Kirk is invested in), although other elite money managers are also available subject to account minimums. For people who have a hard time sleeping at night owning individual securities, we can also apply a more aggressive Tactical Asset Management approach tailored to the client.
Contact us to put together a lifetime investment plan that will provide you with safety, growth, income and freedom.
There can be no assurance that any strategy will be successful in achieving its stated goals. All investments have a potential for loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

A weekly discussion of the U.S. Supreme Court's most recent opinions, oral arguments and grants of certiorari.
On this episode we review the oral arguments heard by the Court this week in Heien v. North Carolina, which consider whether the Fourth Amendment permits Police Officers to effect traffic stops based on a mistaken interpretation of the law.
On this episode we review the oral arguments in Holt v. Hobbs, a case which asks whether a prison's policy that all inmates must be clean-shaven, even those whose religion require beard growth, is valid under federal law.
May police officers base the reasonable suspicion necessary to effect a traffic stop on a mistake of law and may they detain you after giving you a ticket so that a drug dog can sniff your car? Is a prison's no-beard policy constitutional as applied to a person whose religion requires men to have beards? Does mere possession of a short-barreled shotgun by a convicted felon constitute a violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act? Does subjective intent matter when a statement on social media is objectively threatening? How far do companies have to go to accommodate their pregnant employees? Are teachers agents of law enforcement for the purpose of child abuse inquiries? We discuss these questions among others.
Whether family owned for profit corporations may refuse to pay for healthcare coverage which includes coverage for certain contraceptives that may have the effect of terminating an already fertilized egg or whether such a religious accommodation would upset a compelling government interest in ensuring that woman have equal and sufficient access to healthcare.
Were President Obama's three appointments to the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012 a valid exercise of his Recess Appointments Power or was the fact that the Senate was convening every three days in pro-forma sessions enough to mean that the Senate was not in Recess, making his appointments unconstitutional?


text: I feel lost. Like I keep trying to do what I feel is right, but it ends up hurting other people. Should I keep doing that? Hurting others….If i do I'll disappoint them, but I'll be doing what I feel I have to. If I don't, then they won't change anything, won't be disappointed or hurt, but I will. And what usually ends up happening is that if I have a choice between someone else getting hurt or me getting hurt…. how would I choose for someone else to feel pain. I wouldn't want someone else to feel bad. It feels a lot worse knowing that I made someone else feel bad purposely than not to do what I feel is right.

In the 2010 thriller movie 'Shutter Island', Leonardo DiCaprio plays Edward Daniels, a U.S. Marshal who is plagued by nightmares about an arsonist named Andrew Laeddis, Later in the movie, in a plot twist I won't spoil for you here, it is revealed that the names 'Edward Daniels' and 'Andrew Leaddis' are anagrams of each other, created by a mysterious mastermind. In other words, the two proper name/surname pairs share the same group of letters, and one was created by rearranging the letters of the other. (To find out which name came first, watch the movie, or in a pinch, read the Wikipedia entry.)
Anagrams were a common interest among at least three great jazz piano masterminds: Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver and Bill Evans. According to Robin D.G. Kelley's biography 'Thelonious Monk: The Life And Times Of An American Original', the title of the tune 'Eronel', usually attributed to Monk, is a reverse spelling of 'Lenore', the one-time girlfriend of one of the tune's principal authors, the pianist Sadik Hakim. (By Kelley's account, Hakim wrote the melody with Idrees Sulieman and Monk later added some characteristic touches.) Kelley also mentions Monk had a black onyx ring inscribed with the word 'MONK', which he liked to point out could be read as 'KNOW' when viewed upside down. Horace Silver titled one of his compositions, 'Ecaroh', with a reverse spelling of his name, and also used the same word to name his publishing company. Bill Evans named two modal tunes with anagrams of friends' names: 'Re: Person I Knew' (Orrin Keepnews) and 'N.Y.C.'s No Lark' (an elegy for Sonny Clark). Wordplay also continues to be a common form of humor among rank-and-file working jazz musicians (sometimes called 'club date musicians'); it is not uncommon for 'In A Sentimental Mood' to be referred to as 'In A Semi-Mental Mood'.
It is only natural that these player/composers would title their songs with coded words, given that the musical language in which they composed and improvised, called 'Bebop' after the Dizzy Gillespie tune of the same name, was originally conceived as a kind of musical code, a private language which could only be spoken by those in the know. In bebop, often the tunes themselves were musical puzzles, concentration exercises designed to separate the hip from the square. In his biography Wail: the Life of Bud Powell, Peter Pullman notes that at Minton's Playhouse, one of the venues where bebop was developed, the tune 'Epistrophy' (another Monk collaboration, this time with Kenny Clarke and Charlie Christian) 'was one of the pieces used to keep the uninitiated off the bandstand'. (In this tune, Monk works a mind-bending variation on the 32 song form. Where most tunes with this form open with two identical, similar or contrasting eight-bar phrases, the first 16 measures of Epistrophy contain four-bar phrases arranged palindromically - A,B,B,A - which forces the improviser to ascend and descend a symmetrical harmonic 'hill' at the beginning of each chorus before they can reach the more traditional bridge and last A.)
There is a parallel between the way that bop players (or those influenced by bop) were sometimes inclined to build song titles out of alternate spellings of words and the way that they often gave their melodic lines a cryptic aspect by using multiple 'spellings' or arpeggiations of chords. In a number of Monk tunes, a short melodic figure is immediately followed by an altered repetition of it. 'Well You Needn't' opens with an ascending arpeggio of F major immediately followed by a descending one, and 'Four In One' opens with an ascending major blues scale followed by a descending one that comes within two notes of being an exact retrograde:
A fun variant on these kinds of opposite-motion melodic lines are mirror exercises on piano, which have been discussed both by Harold Danko in a Keyboard Magazine column and Chick Corea in a recent online video 'lesson'. Chick's video reminded me of how I discovered at one point that both Monk's 'Straight No Chaser' and Tadd Dameron's 'Hot House' can be harmonized with mirror (i.e. inverted) counterpoint. (Other examples of 'found counterpoint' - countermelodies derived from an altered version of the original tune - include the Modern Jazz Quartet's canonic version of 'Bags' Groove', and Fred Hersch's canonic arrangement of 'Bemsha Swing'; one or both of these led me to discover that the Dizzy Gillespie tune 'Bebop' also works as a canon.)
In contrast to the immediate reversals and respellings in the Monk tunes cited above, Jimmy Giuffre's 'Four Brothers' and John Lewis' 'Afternoon in Paris' both feature different spellings of the same chord within their first eight measures. This abundance of arpeggiation is necessary because chords lasting only two beats occur frequently in these tunes, and in bebop, arpeggiation is a common strategy for melodically navigating two-beat chord changes. Most of the two beat changes in 'Four Brothers' and 'Afternoon In Paris' belong to one-bar major ii-V progressions. A major ii-V progression is defined by two important characteristics: a minor 7th chord is followed by a dominant 7th chord, and there is the interval of an ascending fourth between the roots of the two chords. In the Barry Harris system, the two chords in the one bar major ii-V progression (i.e. one where each chord lasts two beats) can be outlined with a single ascending seventh scale (using the 'seven up' pattern) or a single descending seventh scale (using the 'seven down' pattern).
Barry Harris' scalar approach to the ii-V can be contrasted with the more intervallic, arpeggiated approach to the one-bar ii-V progression in the melody to 'Four Brothers', which navigates the one-bar major ii-V with a melodic pattern that might be called the opposite-motion arpeggio. The A section begins with what could be called a 'convex' ii-V pattern (an ascending arpeggio of a ii chord voicing countered with a descending arpeggio of the V); and the bridge includes a 'concave' shape.
The one bar minor ii-V progression shares some of the same characteristics as the major ii-V, with two alterations: the minor 7th chord is now a minor 7 flat five (a.k.a. half diminished) chord, and the dominant chord has at least one alteration, a lowered ninth (i.e. 'flat nine'), sometimes accompanied by or replaced by other alterations including sharp five. Barry Harris' approach to the one bar minor ii-V progression is to apply the seventh scale from a major third below the root of the half-diminished ii chord, either with the 'seven up' pattern, or the 'seven down' pattern. With the 'seven down' pattern, the last note in the scale is raised a half step to form what I refer to in another blog post as the 'seven down to the third' scale.
(This seemingly abstract approach to the minor ii-V is consistent with the many accounts of Monk's description of the half diminished chord: according to Kelley, he always called the first chord in the introduction to 'Round Midnight' 'C minor sixth with A in the bass' rather than 'A minor seven flat five'. In this context, Harris is taking the same approach to the 'minor sixth' here as he takes to the minor 7th chord in the major ii-V.)
I have devised an exercise using one-bar ii-V licks, beginning with a lick based on the motive from the A section of 'Round Midnight', followed by the lick from the third to last bar of 'Donna Lee' (an example of a 'convex' one-bar ii-V pattern), a pattern adapted from 'Afternoon in Paris', and the Barry Harris turn around lick (which resembles the 'concave' pattern seen in the 'Four Brothers' bridge, but with more changes of direction and chromaticism). Each lick is transposed down by whole steps through six keys. I've titled the exercise 'Parisian Cul-de-sac', in honor of the great Bud Powell tune 'Parisian Thoroughfare' (I am equally a fan of Bud's solo and trio versions as well as the arrangement by Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band.) The subtitle, 'Midnight Donna's Turnaround in Paris', is a way to remember the order of the licks in the exercises, titled by their sources.
If you are interested in trying the exercise, a single line instrument (or single hand on the piano) can start at the top staff and play each part left to right, working down to the bottom. I've included two versions, a 'vocal version' which should also work range-wise for saxophones, low brass and bass, and a 'piano version' which should also work for trumpet and flute. In the piano version the left hand can accompany the right with two-note shell voicings (from DeGreg p. 23) in all staves except the third staff from the top, where the rootless voicings from Degreg p. 79 will also work. The exercise also works as a canon; in both versions, once one player or group (or one hand of a pianist) has finished bar 8 of the top staff, a second player or group (or the pianist's other hand) can begin the exercise when the first player, group or hand begins the second staff. Once you learn the descending whole-step sequence I've written here, move it up or down a half step and take it through the other whole tone scale.
As always, I am open to comments of any kind, but I'd particularly like to hear any examples of anagram-like techniques being used by composers or improvisers, other anagram titles, mirror images in music, or any thoughts on my theory about the connection between bebop and wordplay.

It's beach season, which for the tots, means two things: sand castles and popsicles, preferably simultaneously. I spotted this modern set of beach toys a few weeks ago and although was initially drawn to the design, was thrilled to find they're completely biodegradable. A nice bonus for when your kid's bucket gets carried away by the waves, yes?
Three cheers for smart, do-good design. If you're in the market, you can find the set at Amazon for $22.

On the internet the really "important" things can be classifie dunder one of a couple things. The completely irrelevant (lolcats, CAD,Cosmo Nims), the super serious (essays, NY Times) and the complete bullshit. It is from the last category that I draw my new favorite thing to hate, but this is no ordinary bullshit. This bullshit is so fowl that it emerged from Ghengis Khan's colon in 1182 BC, and then fossilized into this indestructible "super bullshit." It was then discovered by John Wilkes Booth who managed to devour it so he could possess the power to assassinate Lincoln. After this atrocious act was complete Booth expelled the waste from himself, but at the cost of having his own tormented soul trapped within this unspeakable bullshit. I think I've made my point clear: this is some heavy-duty, major league bullshit.
Since I know the suspense is killing you (and your fingernails are now reduced to scratchy stubs, no doubt) I will go ahead and tell you of what I speak. It is something called "The Man Code".
At this point you've had one of two reactions. You are either confused because you are a female, and as such don't know what the man code is, or you are a male and know exactly what the man code is and follow it's every rule unquestioningly (and yes, ladies, every man does know of the man code, trust me). If you are of the latter you have probably just tossed your computer out a window in a fit of rage, because you are a big dumb brute, and could not stand to hear anyone say anything bad about the man code (especially not another man). If, however, you are a "law" abiding male and continue to read on, I applaud you. There is some hope left after all.
Since I know all my readers don't abide by the man code, I will give you a brief explanation of what it is.
The man code is an "unspoken" (read: completely bullshitted) set of rules that all "real men" (read: intolerant, sexist, and insecure males) are supposed to follow NO MATTER WHAT.
I know people who aren't familiar with the rules are reading that thinking, "That sounds like the dumbest thing in the world. Who would possibly fall for bullshit like that?" Well, apparently a lot of guys do. More men know about (and abide by) the man code than should be healthy. It also promotes discrimination against other men who don'tfollow the man code or who break one of the rules. If a man breaks a rule, the man code states that any innocent man is allowed to call that man "Princess" or "Nancy" for some undetermined amount of time (the joke here is obviously that calling a man a close female relative ofthe monarch is insulting, because nothing says "unmanly" like controlling almost all of the power in a kingdom).
Unfortunately, the majority of the (straight) male population actually takes this thing seriously. They live by it, drawing feigned sustenance from this rubbish. This thing has manifested itself into a pseudo-religion of sorts, but it's ability to draw in unsuspecting victims is much more devastating. If a preacher says "Accept God as your personal savor or you shall burn in Hell!" it's easy to just think "I don't believe inmthat garbage," and be on your way. But suppose someone writes a code, a code that all men are obligated to follow and cherish and take as seriously as their mother's death. You can't just say "I don't believe in men!" (well you could, but then you would be copying radical-feminism [see, I'm not just picking on the guys]). If it's a set of rules that men NEED to follow then we're pretty much screwed. We have no excuse, nothing to keep the ignorance from flooding our brain. Unless we stop it in it's early stages and men come to their senses about what exactly they're doing when they follow these rules.
When I hear someone reciting these rulings like they were reading from the bible all I can think to myself is "sheep". You're following someone else's rules, someone else's insecurities and sexist beliefs that have no doubt made that person an outcast in their former social circles (unless their social circle is Neo-Nazism or the Republican Party). They package these doctrines up nice and sweet so that you can relate to them as a man, and then before you know it you really start to believe that all women are bad drivers, anything slightly "gay" is unmanly (rules dictate that no thought can go into your outfits, you aren't allowed to get your haircut unless their is a barber pole outside of the place, and Brokeback Mountain is anabomination on man-kind unless you're watching it for Anne Hatheway's tits), and Chuck Norris was actually good at martial arts.
The man code is very big on male superiority, so to that I say, "Why not grow a pair, do what you want, and not let whiny cry-babies stop you from that?" If you honestly think that men are supposed to be the greatest, then you wouldn't be taking other people's shit for doing something that you enjoy doing (God forbid someone should eat a salad as an entree [real rule], dislike an action move [real rule], or not enjoy sports [and yes, real rule]). A "real man" would say, "Fuck the man code, I'm doing whatever the Hell I want regardless of what some incompetent degenerates think of me." (because real men can come up with better insults than "Nancy" and "Princess").
The people who follow the man code actually care enough about "male superiority" that they have created pages and pages of reasonings that "prove" why they are so much better. If a gender has to do that in order to validate themselves in a "better-than" contest, all I can say is that they must not be winning by a long shot.
I feel like the best way to show people how insulting, unnecessary, logic-deprived, manipulative, and image damaging the man code is is toj ust let them read it for themselves. It really does not defend itself,and I'm sure everything there is actually very counter-productive. I can't wait until people wake up one day and say "Holy shit, that site is dumb. I can't believe I actually followed those rules." Then we will all laugh about it, get back to things that matter, and live prosperouslives free of all the vile garbage that was generated by that deplorable cult-like following.

Spring Trends: Pastels
With SS collections on full display at retailers, chances are you might get somewhat confused when faced with the eclectic color palette. The thing is, as most shops already have the entire collection available for purchase, going from one end to the other feels a bit like time traveling, as you find yourself wandering around everything from mid-season garments up to swimwear. With such a complete offering, it's only natural that the colors on each garment reflect its suitability to either Spring or Summer.
Our inherent reaction to the arrival of sunnier days is to go with the flow and bring out brighter items in full strength. However, there are some pieces you should save for later on when Summer reaches its peak, allowing you to be more in tune with the season. So, instead of going all in, save some tricks up your sleeve for the upcoming months. You might've noticed that along with bolder, neon like shades, there are several garments in more neutral, muted pastels.
These are perfect transition pieces, enabling you to progressively incorporate color into your attire without going overboard. Shades such as khaki or lighter versions of blue, pink, peach, yellow and ecru all make the list of this Spring's trendiest and should be a part of your alternatives. This doesn't mean you cannot sport the occasional bolder colored piece, but try to keep up with the seasonal vibe and blend in. Here are a few examples of how to pull it off…

In whichever way it may come, color is mandatory when the sun begins to shine. This time around, it seems the infamous Go To Hell (to put it simple, unexpected eye-popping colored items) are back in full strength. From formal slacks to relaxed jeans or chinos, everyone's dishing their own favourite versions to brighten up the urban landscape.
Bright yellow, green, red or coral are all part of the game, as are embroidered motifs. It appears nothing has been left out the equation for this season's bottoms, especially if you add the assortment of washes, patched alternatives or even paint splattered versions. With so many offerings, the trick is deciding which ones are worth investing in: like a kid in a candy store, chances are you'll want to grab one of each to keep your options open and cover the whole chromatic spectrum.
However, instead of ending up with a rainbow like wardrobe, go through your collection and narrow the choice to missing or complementing shades. Go ahead and do some styling of your own, set aside some pieces and try to picture what would look good with them. After all, there's no use in buying items you'll hardly sport as they don't match your other garments. Also, bear in mind that bottoms deliver much more of a visual impact than say, for instance, a sweater or tee. When in doubt, go for safer options but don't be afraid to experiment with the whole color palette prior to deciding.

EASA OKs TravelChair for Disabled Children
Introduced at AIX, the TravelChair for severely disabled children also won first prize in the Crystal Cabin Awards Passenger Comfort Hardware category, receiving the trophy on April 9, the opening day of the show.
Years in development, the 13.2-pound chair is designed for children between the ages of three and 11 and fits most aircraft seats by way of a strap around the seat-back. It is further anchored using the standard seat belt, meeting airline regulations.
Built by manufacturing partner and aircraft parts supplier Balform, the seat is EASA approved and folds in half for easy transport and storage. Virgin Atlantic was the launch customer and has purchased 25 TravelChairs for use by its disabled child passengers.

the DOCSIS system doesn't work like a phone modem or DSL, Cable modems "help" eachother, that is why they have 46mbit bandwidth.

I am one of the old fashioned guys who turns his computer off when not in use, if I won'T be around for 2-3 hours, I just make it sleep.

Going into the final stretch of the regular season, the Charlotte 49ers needed to grab some much needed momentum with just three games remaining on the Conference USA slate. The perfect way to do that would be a win against visiting #14 Clemson.
Mission accomplished.
Kyle Parker's two goals and Tyler Gibson's penalty kick were part of a three-goal second half–Charlotte's highest scoring period this season–as the Niners (6-5-3) picked up a huge win over the Tigers, 3-1 at Transamerica Field on Tuesday night, their final non-conference contest before a season-ending three game stretch against conference foes.
Clemson (9-4-2) had the better of the chances in the first half as they outshot the Niners 6-5, offset by two saves by Charlotte keeper Klay Davis. But the Niners' offense awakened in the 59th minute with Parker's fifth goal of the season off a rebound from a ball shot by Gibson to make it 1-0. Manolo Sanchez would knot it up at 1 in the 66th minute, but just under three minutes later, Gibson was taken down inside the box on the other end. The redshirt senior midfielder stepped up and fired a perfect strike past Tigers keeper Andrew Tarbell, his first goal of the season, to put the Niners up for good. Parker added his second a little over four minutes later to pad the lead and give his team some insurance.
The second half was a much different story than the first as Charlotte fired 11 shots to Clemson's 5. The Niners finished the evening with a 16-11 edge in shots. Parker's two markers give him the team lead in goals (six) and points (14).
Charlotte is off until next Wednesday when they return to C-USA action against Florida Atlantic, followed by a Senior Day contest at home against Marshall on November 2 and the season finale November 8 at FIU.

Taxis in Windhoek are like busses in other countries. You tell the driver where u want to go, if he agrees (and know where it is), you jump in the -mostly already packed- cab. All kinds of things might happen, even asked to be married. They are the best school to local culture. (Un)fortunately Windhoek is small and I'm never more than 15 minutes in those crappy cars.
Finally home after 4 months. Having your sisters running at you when arriving to hug the hell out of you, receiving the most beautiful flowers, and eating real belgian chocolat. Priceless.

Stage Two: The Quest for More
The track testing revealed the effect 140,000 miles can have on suspension bits. Several boxes of parts from BMR Fabrication (K-member, torque arm, lower control arms, adjustable Panhard bar, subframe connectors) and QA1 (front and rear coil springs and shocks) took care of the slop.
Despite the best efforts of the Hi-Tek cooler, the 4L60E was also in failing health, showing signs of imminent heat-induced demise. It was replaced with a TCI Super StreetFighter trans. And in anticipation of the extra stick from the new set of Mickey Thompson ET Radials, the factory 10-bolt rear axle was re-placed with a Moser 12-bolt with 3.73s and a Detroit Truetrac. These upgrades improved the Camaro's times to a best of 11.60 at 116 mph but at a total project expense nearing $25,000-out of the "budget" category.
Stage Three: Forged Short-Block
Unfortunately, the extra power and repeated dragstrip beating took their toll on the short-block when the top of the No. 7 cylinder's cast hypereutectic piston imploded. This is a common problem on LS1s due to issues with coolant flow (No. 7 is the last in line, so it gets the hot water) and a tendency to run lean (leading to detonation). Trick Flow engine builder Ron Grezanik turned lemons into lemonade by upgrading the short-block with a set of Wiseco forged pistons and Wiseco/K1 Technologies 4340 billet steel connecting rods. Blueprinting an LS1 is like blueprinting any other performance V-8-the devil is in the details, like crankshaft endplay (0.0015 to 0.0078 inch for the LS1). One thing that is different is the use of torque-to-yield fasteners, which many builders won't reuse. Grezanik replaced the torque-to-yield stuff with ARP fasteners.
The refreshed short-block proved its worth by lowering the Camaro's e.t. by two tenths of a second and 2 mph to 11.40 at 118 mph. Noe thinks there's more to be wrung out of the car, bench racing that, "At a good track in perfect air, the Camaro could go 11.20s or even a little quicker."

Old Cover Guys never die. They do look older after a while, but they just keep on hammering.
I did a ton of riding this month with the Rabbit, who I worked with for several years back in the old country. It was XC stuff mainly, and we rode at old school pace (no stopping…ever). I'm pretty sure there was one point where I didn't put a foot down for over 2 hours. Lots of killer rides all month, but no eye candy for you. Just this little fella:
Can't believe that was the first snake I saw all year. Everyone was raving about how many and how large the snakes were this summer, and I see this puny little one in the last week of herpetological friendly weather. He is quite pretty in those yellow leaves though.
Coolie is getting out for more rides now. She got a 35-40 km day in at the end. And slept it off in one day. She killed it until the last couple km of the last lap, when she started to limp just a little bit. Pretty amazing…and a bit scary. Next summer could be a chore keeping her exercised.
Another little scenic window into my neighbourhood. I got into a bunch more trails in the Naramata zone. Figuring out tons more routes to play on for next year. Would you believe it? I rode that zone over 20 times this year alone, and just in the last couple of weeks did over 5 hours on stuff I haven't seen before.
PS – Happy 73rd Birthday, Dad.

Thanks to everyone who's already sent in a proposal for NANOG 29.
(PS they're due Sept. 8).
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
October 19-21, 2003
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 29th
meeting October 19-21, 2003, at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Hotel. This
will be NANOG's second joint meeting with ARIN, the American Registry for
Internet Numbers (www.arin.net). NANOG will meet from Sunday to Tuesday,
and ARIN from Wednesday to Friday, October 22-24. Registration opens
September 2.
NANOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and dissemination
of technical information related to backbone/enterprise networking
technologies and operational practices. Meetings are held three times
each year, and include two days of short presentations, plus
afternoon/evening tutorial sessions. The meetings are informal, with an
emphasis on relevance to current backbone engineering practices. NANOG
conferences draw over 350 participants, mainly consisting of engineering
staff from national service providers, and members of the research and
education community.
For more information about NANOG meetings, schedules, and logistics,
NANOG invites presentations on backbone/enterprise engineering,
coordination, and research topics. Presentations should highlight issues
relating to technology already deployed or soon to be deployed in core
Internet backbones and exchange points. Vendors are encouraged to work
with operators to present deployment experiences with the vendor's
Researchers are invited to present short (10-minute) summaries of their
work for operator feedback. Topics include routing, network performance,
statistical measurement and analysis, and protocol development and
implementation. Studies presented may be works in progress. Researchers
from academia, government, and industry are encouraged to present.
The community is invited to present talks on:
-- Survey of open-source/commercial network management systems
-- Operator experience/how-to's on building packet-switched networks
(e.g., IP or MPLS) that can carry:
- Layer 2 (e.g., Frame Relay and ATM)
- IP services
- Emerging services such as the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).
-- Operator case studies on:
- Integration with optical control planes (GMPLS, ASON, etc.),
voice (enterprise, Class 4 and Class 5), and video
- Provisioning and automation
- Enterprise network security, management, and route control
- Network troubleshooting and problems solved
-- Experience with active DoS retaliation methods, e.g., reverse port
-- Implementation and use of measurement technologies in vendor devices
Other potential topics include:
-- Backbone traffic engineering
-- Impact of BGP dynamics on backbone traffic patterns
-- Route processor architecture
-- Large-scale wireless deployment
-- Building large-scale measurement infrastructure
-- Inter-domain multicast deployment
NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels, and
other presentation topics.
Submit a detailed abstract or outline describing the presentation in email
to nanog-support () nanog org The deadline for proposals is September 8,
2003. While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by September 8,
a limited number of slots will be available after that date for topics
that are exceptionally timely and important. Submissions will be reviewed
by the NANOG Program Committee, and presenters will be notified of
acceptance by September 22. Final drafts of presentation slides are due by
October 8, and final versions October 15.

Florence + The Machine

Zane Lowe just premiered The Weeknd's take on Florence + the Machine's new single Shake It Out. It's very dark and sexy, obviously. No singing from Abel's part (unfortunately), just additional producing and baller beats by the xo-crew.
Best song, from the best soundtrack, from the best movie of the year.

Current Bears personnel in a 3-4:
With only 4 of the Bears opening day defensive starters under contract right now, there are going to be some personnel changes next year but for the purposes of this article I am going to examine how Bears from the 2013 roster would fit into a 3-4 if the Bears decide to change schemes.
Jeremiah Ratliff (6-4, 303) is a little small for the NT position, but Ratliff made four Pro Bowls playing NT in the Cowboys 3-4 scheme so it's clear he has the ability.
The rest of the Bears DTs are a bit small for the 3-technique. Stephen Paea (6'1, 300) is close but can't seem to stay healthy anyway.
Landon Cohen was signed off the street this year and if he is back on the roster in 2014, then something went seriously wrong in the offseason.
Ratliff could be a solid anchor for the Bears 3-4, but they would need to either sign a veteran back-up or draft one. If they go the draft route, it would have to be a relatively high pick as there aren't many good NT prospects and they traditionally are snatched up early.
The Bears current DEs weren't good at rushing the passer in 2013 (17 total sacks) so in theory some of them should be a good fit in the 3-4. Unfortunately they were even worse at stopping the run last year.
Despite criticism for taking entire games off, Julius Peppers was clearly the Bears best DE last season. He has slowed down a bit since his double-digit sack days, but he might actually be a better fit for a 3-4 scheme in his old age. He has prototypical size for a 3-4 DE (6'7, 287) and can provide the ideal mix of pass rushing and rush defense that the position requires.
The best option on the roster for other DE spot is current DT Henry Melton (6'3, 295). An ex-RB in college, Melton has unusual speed for a DT and could provide a consistent pass rush as a 3-4 DE while still maintaining gap responsibilities. Unfortunately there are a lot of complications involved with bringing Melton back as a DE. Is Melton expecting to be paid as the Pro Bowl DT he was in 2012? Would the Bears pay that price for a 3-4 DE? Is Melton going to be close to the same player after his ACL injury?
A more realistic candidate for the other DE spot is Corey Wootton (6'6, 270). He is a little smaller than you would like for the position, but his ability to play well against the run while providing occasionally pressure is ideal. Of course the Bears will need to resign him first, but considering that he proved he can play DT adequately in a 4-3, the Bears should bring him back regardless of the defensive scheme.
The rest of the DEs on the roster are better suited for the OLB position which I'll cover next. The Bears would definitely need some depth at the DE position even if they re-sign Wooten. Luckily, 3-4 DEs are much easier to find than 4-3 pass rushing ends.
Shea McClellin (6'3, 260) was a stud OLB at Boise St in their 3-4 defense, so he has experience in that scheme. McClellin is a classic tweener. He's not strong enough to play the run as a 4-3 DE and he isn't quick enough in coverage to be a 4-3 linebacker. The switch to a 3-4 scheme might benefit McClellin more than any other Bear currently on the roster. For all his faults, he is a pretty good pass rusher and being able to come off the edge without having to fight off a tackle's blocks could make a huge difference in McClellin's future production.
Lance Briggs in his prime could have played inside or out in a 3-4, but depending on his health (& weight) next year he might be better suited to an ILB role in a 3-4. He's never been a great blitzer and looked like he lost a step or two late in 2013. If Briggs shows up at training camp in shape, then he can be a good weak side OLB.
Free agent OLB James Anderson is a better fit in a 4-3 scheme and most likely wouldn't be brought back if the Bears switch schemes.
Khaseem Greene played in a 3-4 alignment at Rutgers so should be able to adapt quickly to the change in scheme and provide some quality depth at OLB. Greene had 9.5 sacks in two years at Rutgers as a 3-4 OLB.
The Bears have a few other undersized DEs who could be better as rush only OLBs if McClellin doens't pan out. David Bass (6'4, 256) showed some flashes in his rookie year as a pass rusher, but he was out-muscled in the run game. He could have an impact as a pass rushing LB. Rookie 5th round pick Cornelious Washington (6'4, 265) was inactive most of the year, but has the ideal size / speed ratio for a 3-4 OLB.
Jon Bostic struggled all year to shed blocks which rules out the one of the ILB positons (TED). His best bet in a 3-4 would be as the Mike linebacker who is normally the most athletic linebacker. Bostic would be more protected by the NT and TED ILB picking up the blocks from the interior OL allowing him to use his athleticism to make plays all over the field.
DJ Williams is a free agent but has expressed his desire to return to the Bears. I hope the Bears bring him back because he is a good fit as either the MLB in a 4-3 or as an ILB (TED) in a 3-4.
The Bears don't have any real depth on the roster currently at MLB so that is a position they would need to target in free agency or the draft.
¹ On the defensive line, the two most common schemes are the "2" and "1" gap. In the "2" gap, the defensive lineman are responsible for the gap to either side of where they line up. In the "1" gap, the defensive lineman are only responsible for 1 gap with the ILBs picking up the remaining gaps.
Defensive Coordinator (1/6)
Defensive scheme: 3-4 (1/7)
Current Bear Free Agents: (1/8)
NFL Free Agents: (1/9)
Possible Defensive Draft Picks: (1/10)

Turn win7 into a plug & play system ?
cloning a hd is one thing.
But my issue is as follows:
If my computer crashes & i want to use a new computer, & have windows 7 installed on a functional hd, & undock the hard drive & put it in the new laptop, i get a windows fatal error, because of principal drivers not installed for the new pc in my system. & .. . I do not want to install windows 7 all life long & reinstall backups over, it'll never be as perfect as my original system, cause backups don't know what i removed from my registry or Windows 7 system, & i will be left with many orphan files & maybe a conflict or two & more updates to perform or reinstallation of software. unfortunately Windows 7 is not plug & play, like win98 that could be undocked easily & docked in a new computer, then the os would call the new material detection tool to install the new computers drivers. my questions are:
· is there a way to make a Windows 7 system plug & play after having
undocked it ?
- is there a registry tweak i can try before undocking my hd,
to make sure a material detection process will be launched ?
- is there a tool that will turn Windows 7 into a plug & play system
& reinstall drivers on the fly ?
|My System Specs
|09 Aug 2011
If available, SysPrep the HD on the old hardware to remove all drivers to move it to the new hardware: SysPrep to move HD to another computer.
You can also store a SysPrepped image which can be used on any new hardware in the future. This is how I do many Windows 7 installs.
If old hardware isn't available due to mobo failure then boot Paragon Adaptive Restore CD, point it at Windows 7 to prepare it to boot on new hardware.

Retail or OEM manufacturer's?
|My System Specs
|09 Aug 2011
it's a retail version, but my system has been tweaked so much, that i'm sick of having to do all the job over & over, i simply wish windows 7 was automatically plug & play, it seems that microsoft downgrades a lot as the years go by, which is sad. another ex is wlm, no message source edition, no deletion for all accounts, & forcing ppl to view attached pictures through thumbnails first, then having to double click again to launch another app in order to view the pics original size .. . another downgrade is disabling the option of unselecting align to grid for any other folders than the desktop .. . Anyways, thanks you so much gregrocker, i was very sceptic after my first attempt to undock the hd, i really thought Windows 7 ultimate was an unbeatable monster lol )) but the famous blue screen of death returned ))
that sysrep is wonderful, but the process should be automatic.
At least i have a quick & clean solution, thanks
|My System Specs
|09 Aug 2011
You're welcome. Let us know if you need anything else.
I would not tweak Windows 7 beyond normal System settings as it is already so lean, featherlight and instantaneous that intense mods/tweaking will almost always come back to bite you.
