better insurance company or an understanding of your policy is easiest. adt might cost a bit more than dogs but dogs are kind of a pain.

2)Locks are designed to keep an honest man honest. But the longer it takes to defeat that lock, the more likely the burglar will just move on, since he doesn't have the luxury of time on his side
3)When i first moved there, it was a "decent neighborhood" (if there is such a thing). it got worse over the last 7years. So i not only considered moving, but moved to a place where i have no more neighbors. That doesn't mean i trust people anymore. If they cleaned me out TWICE in a crowded city neighborhood, what's to stop somebody from doing it where there are no neighbors to watch/stop them???
dogs??? F*** dogs. i had 3 of them. during BOTH burglaries. notice that i said HAD??? useless waste of money.
2) Thanks
3) 1st burglary was within about a 1-2hour window. i locked my garage up around 11pm, and went back out about 1am when i noticed the damage. hard to say how long it actually took them. surprisingly, not a single neighbor heard or saw anything.
3) my house was 2 blocks from the police station. even when i called them within 1hour of the burglary, it took them nearly 1/2 hour to get to the house. and other than stand around and ask for my phone number, they did NOTHING until i went to the station and demanded that they dust/finger print the place. Cops are about as useful as dogs. I'm amazed dispatch doesn't just give you a website to download a form that you can fill out a report yourself and mail it in.
now i know some people may think, or even mentioned that it would make it harder to move. personally i don't care if it takes me 5minutes to get my welder out of a cage, as long as i STILL HAVE A WELDER. having instant access to it won't do me any good if i'm gone.
for what it's worth, when i secured my aircompressor to the buildings support beam and anchored it to the ground, it was secure enough that it took me roughly 5-10 minutes to get the hardware loosened/cut off to be able to move the compressor when we moved away from there. and i'm the one that put it there. no burglar is going to spend that kind of time on each item. criminals of any type are all out for a easy grab. it doesn't matter if it's a burglar, purse snatcher, bank robber, etc.. none of them want to stick around any longer than necessary, because any second they could be discovered. so the more difficult i can make it for them, the more likely that i'll have my stuff when i wake up. so YES......i want OVERKILL when it comes to chaining, bolting or otherwise securing my items.
and for those wondering why i'm so paranoid.
10years of wrenching as a auto mechanic.
$30,000+ worth of tools
3 generations (30+years) worth of insurance through the same agent
2 burglaries
aftermath: $0.00 ZERO DOLLARS reimbursed. 10years of work GONE. S
So if i can't rely on my insurance to cover what i'm paying for, and the cops to even care (yes i had some serial numbers. they didn't even care), then i'm basically left to fend for myself.
so if anybody else has any other suggestions for securing the welder, or any improvements on my cage idea i'd be very grateful.

i've switched insurance company, and hope they would take better care of me. but as far as i'm concerned, the ONLY reason i have insurance is because the law makes me. they're no better than the criminals that robbed me in my opinion.
which is why i would like to prevent the need for having to call them ever again.

In addition to building a vault, look into an internet motion alert video recorder to supplement your security. With this type of system it will alert you by text message when motion is detected and then you can view live footage through a smart phone or computer. Much more dependable than dogs and a system starts at around 400.00.2- XMT's 350 cc/cv

but that's not what's on discussion right now. i lost $30,000, i got $0 back from the insurance.
i do have to say thought that i'm very amazed that it seems like people here either think that since the thief could in theory break anything you can make, that there is no point in trying to secure things, or that you need to build a nuclear blast chamber.
i agree that NOTHING is unbreakable, but the simple fact is that if it takes to much time for a burglar to "try" and get something, they usually won't bother with it. so if it takes me several minutes to get my welder out of whatever enclosure i might come up with, and i have the keys/tools to get in, then it would take a burglar even longer. therefore, HOPEFULLY i have a greater chance of me waking up with my tools in the morning.
anyways. i figured this being a welding forum, and others probably having similar concerns, that i might be able to get some suggestions here.
so to those couple who gave me useful tips, THANK YOU. and to those who didn't have anything useful to say.......thank you too.

With their hidden identities, which basically launched their world-wide success in the music business, many have attempted to re-create Thomas Bangalter's and Guy-Manuel's uber-sweet looking helmets.
Starting in early August 2008, I went out and searched teh_intarwebz far and wide for instructions on how to make one. No such luck. However I did find a Pepakura File of both Guy's and Thomas' helmets. Along with some fan-created helmets. I found it, I found my 'End-of-Summer-To-Late-Fall' project.
Step 1: Pepakura Viewer
I have made Thomas' helmet, but if you are looking for a challenge, use some of the tips from this instructable to make Thomas' helmet.
First, you will want to download Pepakura Viewer, which is a program that lets you view paper craft items that other users have made.
Once you have downloaded Pepakura Viewer, download Thomas' helmet, here. I didn't build the full helmet, as I knew ahead of time that my head was too big for the paper version. So I improvised, and used a hard-hat as my base, and attached the front of the paper helmet to it with masking tape. I'm sorry that I don't have any build pictures of the paper helmet face part. When cutting out the shapes, each edge has a number, which you tape/glue/attach to the corresponding number.
just a tip but don't go heavy on the bondo. Just enough to smooth it out. Not a thick layer and then smooth it out that takes too much time
They have the LED equalizers too which is pretty awesome
here you go
good Ible btw
Next Mask for Halloween 2009 for sure !
Now try to make the "LED'" part... :)

US, China agree to cooperate on HFC phasedown
7:45 AM MDT | June 10, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
The Chinese and US governments have agreed to cooperate in the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, in an effort to combat climate change, the White House says in a statement. President Barack Obama and China's president, Xi Jinping, will work together and with other countries, to use the expertise and institutions of the Montreal Protocol to phasedown the consumption and production of HFCs. A global phasedown of HFCs could potentially reduce about 90 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2050, equal to roughly 2 years'...

- people in the U.S. have this name View Brenda Biles on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
A very popular name, of uncertain derivation. Until the 20th century it was confined mainly to Scotland and Ireland. It is probably of Scandinavian rather than Celtic origin, however: a short form of any of the various compound names derived from Old Norse brand 'sword'. Its popularity in Gaelic-speaking countries has no doubt been influenced by its similarity to Brendan.
|70th in the U.S.
English: topographic name for someone who lived on a promontory or elevation, from Old English bil(e), literally denoting the bill or beak of a bird, but also used in a transferred sense.

The adjustment is excellent, it fit without any modifications or trouble, the bearing is top notch and makes the action very smooth. I will have to wait and see how strong it is, unbreakable is a hefty claim.

If you're looking for a great read that's a bit different be sure to check out Walter Dean Myers' Monster. A teen patron told me about the book and said it was a really good. It's fantastic! Monster is definitely the most thrilling Young Adult book I've come across. I can't wait to see the teen who suggested it, not only to tell him how much I enjoyed Myers' tale, but to see what other titles he has to recommend.
The book's unique format is actually that of a film script depicting the murder trial of a young man, 16 yr. old Steve Harmon, who is accused of serving as a lookout on a simple robbery that went awry. The script was created by the young man, a budding filmmaker, and it is his way of dealing with the harsh reality of the devastating legal predicament that he is facing. Also strewn throughout the script are bits of Steve's journal entries which allow the reader to establish an even stronger connection to the character and what he's going through concerning the aftermath of the stick-up. The robbery, which was supposed to have been a cut and dry execution in order to attain some fast cash, quickly turned into a whole new ballgame when the store owner pulled a gun on the unarmed criminals.
You'll have to read it yourself to see what actually happens in Myers' gripping tale and find out where Steve ends up. There's certainly enough suspense involved that you won't be disappointed. Monster would be a great selection for book clubs. It would also make a great classroom read for students in middle school on up. Many thanks to the teen who approved this one!

Robert Kubica insists he won't head to DTM or another touring car series any time soon as his focus is still on Formula One.
The Polish driver has been away from F1 since partially severing his right forearm in a rally crash back in February 2011.
But while the closest he has come since to a F1 car was a recent run in the Mercedes F1 simulator, the 28-year-old was offered a DTM drive with Merc for this year's Championship.
Kubica turned it down, opting instead to contest the European Rally Championship.
And the former Renault driver says he will keep saying no as long as Formula One is still a possibility.
"For me, now, the priority is to get as fit as I can," he told Autosport.
"I'm not able to come back into single-seaters at the moment, and my vision is not to come back in saloon cars on the circuit at this stage.
"DTM, for me, is one of the highest-level Championships in the world, the drivers who are racing there; I'd say there's a minimum of 10 who can win races. It's a very high-level Championship.
"It's not that I'm underrating these cars, or GTs or anything else, it's just that I have something in my mind and I'm trying everything to achieve it, and this is the best way for me.
"Maybe one day in the future I will race in DTM or GT or whatever, because I will feel that it's the right moment. I'm still young, I think I can still achieve something in motorsport, I will try my best."
Kubica, though, admits that a future in Formula One may never be on the cards.
"There is not any guarantee, there is no percentage to say whether I will come back or not, but it's also not 100 per cent that I will not be back in F1. I will try my best.
"I have been through a difficult period, and I'd say it's an easier period now, I am enjoying myself, but it is still not a totally easy period for me, because I'd definitely prefer to be in F1 driving, 100 per cent fit. The reality is different.
"Now I need a little bit of everything - a little bit of luck and motivation, which I think I have, and to keep working so maybe I have the chance to get back to where I was before the accident."

Monday, October 21, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Oct. 21, 2002) - East Tennessee State sophomore linebacker Lamar Beam (Shelby, N.C.) was named Southern Conference Defensive Player-of-the-Week after a dominant defensive performance in a 31-15 Buccaneer victory over Elon on Saturday. Beam was a one-man wrecking crew Saturday afternoon against Elon, spending seemingly all afternoon in the Phoenix backfield. Beam had a game-high 11 tackles, including six for losses and a game-high four sacks. Prior to Saturday's contest, Beam had 3.5 sacks in his ETSU career, but eclipsed that mark in just one afternoon. The Buccaneer defense as a whole had just three sacks on the season before Saturday. Beam contributed heavily on the most important series of the game, Elon's final possession in the fourth quarter. The Phoenix had fought back to 31-15 and had recovered an onside kick, recovering the ball on the ETSU 40-yard line. But Beam sacked Elon quarterback James Murtaugh twice in the ensuing three plays, on first and third downs. His third down sack set up a Montreal Harkley (Hanahan, S.C.) interception on fourth and 29, essentially ending the game. Following his phenomenal performance on Saturday, Beam now leads ETSU with 46 tackles, nine tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks. Beam is the second SoCon Defensive Player-of-the-Week for the Bucs this season. Harkley won the award on Sept. 23 after turning in a great game against VMI. The Buccaneers return to action on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. as they face No. 4 ranked Furman from Memorial Center in Johnson City.

This is not a commentary on Sochi authorities' reported (and apparently ineffective) plan to exterminate the city's stray dogs ahead of the Olympics. It is also not a condemnation of Russia, which, like most parts of the world, has strays roaming its urban areas.
It is a gallery of Olympic doggies, because we like doggies.

Morning, everyone!
Heres a quick Saturday video that I just wanted to share with y'all...
I'd recently had a few requests for a stick welding video on Stainless Steel, to compliment the Aluminum and Cast Iron stick welding I'd done...
So, I picked up a box of 3/32" Hobart 308L-16 Electrodes from a Tractor Supply store, and made this video while I was in Wisconsin...
It was awesome! I'd been told these things run very smooth, and let me tell you, they do! They "hiss" as they run, and leave a weld with beautiful colors behind.
Anyway, enjoy the video:
And have a good weekend, everyone

Stick Welding Stainless Steel with 308L-16 Electrodes (Video)

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown passes and the New York defense forced four turnovers, as the Jets quickly put a dismal preseason behind them and rolled to a 48-28 victory over the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets (1-0) didn't score a touchdown in a winless August until the final exhibition game, but proved the preseason doesn't translate to regular-season success ... at least for a week.
After throwing an interception on the Jets' first drive, Sanchez played brilliantly behind an offensive line that did not allow a sack all day. He completed 19-of-27 passes for 266 yards with three touchdowns, connecting twice with rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill.
The New York defense featured interceptions by Darrelle Revis, Kyle Wilson and Antonio Cromartie, as well as a fumble recovery, leading to half of the Jets' scoring output.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions and three touchdown passes for Buffalo (0-1), while C.J. Spiller received the bulk of the carries after starting running back Fred Jackson left the game with a leg injury and ran for 169 yards with a touchdown yards on 14 carries.

Well, whatever you guys figure out is the right way to weld or not weld on any particular truck frame (and I have seen a bunch of stuff done in a bunch of ways...some ugly, but workable, some just WRONG and some right), the weld in the picture looks worse than some of the ones the newbies at the local tech college make! ( Gee, I hope that doesn't hurt anyone's feelings )

Where the sticker is... is the web. Good lord man.. it seems every post on here turns to a pizzing contest. I posted this with the intentions that some could relate but I see very few do.
repair of frame bracket.
Hello all, I have to comment, that there are several posters that are correct here. I do agree with weldon's initial original post , with the pictures he provided. The welds are rather crappy looking down hands. Depending on exactly where and what the joint is holding can have very important issues as to the lifespan of the frame. I also agree that there shouldn"t be any welding on the web of a frame member, but i have also seen engineered frames from manufacturers that contradict this. In a perfect world the component should have been drilled and bolted , or possibly riveted together my the manufacturer. I also realize that the world isnt perfect and most of the time additions and attachments are made to already existing frames, vehicles and equipment. Whatever needs to be attached is sometimes done hastily without much consideration to the negative affects of welding and its related heat input issues. I seem to be a bit puzzled about the sticker saying no welding to the channel or is it beam flanges ? I have seen several manufacture specs that ok this as opposed to welding on any web areas. I think most of us here would agree that taking a extra minute to dress or grind welds often can be all it takes to make a good repair that much better.I have a welding addiction
...the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask

big no no!
Pictures are ok but they really don't give a clear picture of welds and or overall job & load. I've taken pictures of my good welds & they didn't look that good, taken pictures of bad welds & they didn't look that bad. Go figure ??
If I'm guilty of one thing it's over building & over welding, just don't want to be responsible for someone getting hurt on my watch.
One thing I've learned no one knows better than the one under hood, and if its a job that can take someone or more than one mans life it better be 100% + Just no room for error. I think we should trust his judgement. And I don't think the owner is going to pay to have it redone if he didn't see a problem.

What were you thinking?!?..
Just out of curiosity?! Why would you weld Vertical down with 7018... not that you cant do it, I can as well but would never weld anything load bearing that way.... not bashing you but you were welding this on the derrick of an oil rig?... not a lawnmower. If that weld fails, and it could very possibly, will you write the check for the funeral of hospital bills? Just saying... To me the right way to do it, based on the pictures would have been to grind both down to bare metal and then put a few passes on up hill, if ya wanted to get really technical about it, put the first pass on, chip it, wire wheel it, and then overlap two passes over the top of it. That a way your getting a good tie in to both pieces of base metal. Hope this didnt come across rude.
Oops misunderstood the post.... Sorry!

Right on brother, I just joined this forum, I'm a Lincoln guy, mainly because I contract for the North Dakota Oil fields. That being said my my rig trucks got a 300D pipeliner on it. I have an ESAB 150 tig/stick and a Maxstar too. I read you whole post and just misunderstood ya. That monorail projects seemed pretty cool based on the pics.

After playing around with CHS a little more I found these "features:"
- Bringing up the messagebox to tell how many characters are in a clip also adds a new clip with the window title of the messagebox, messagebox text, some dashes, and "OK." Actually, I cant do this everytime... and trying to pop up a messagebox with the character count doesnt work for me. It just brings up a blank messagebox. Weird. This may be me.
- Scrolling the clips scrollbox is weird. My scrollwheel scrolls through individual entries, but the text box doesnt refresh until I click. Also, scrolling with the mousewheel does not force the the scrollbar to move at all. I scroll to the top clip in the box, but then I have to manually grab the scrollbar to move it to the next entry.
- OK button on dialog is down a tad far.
- Perhaps you could allow the user to make up "Clip Groups." You already have History and Favorites, but maybe it would be cool to be able to make one Personal Info, or Email Addresses. I realize this may not be entirely necessary if you search, but it could still help organize clips.
- Helpfile. There are so many options!
Overall, I'm impressed though. With so many options it will definitely allow a wide range of applications.

A Calvert Elementary School student was taken to the emergency room following a school bus accident Thursday morning, according to Ed Cassidy, director of transportation at Calvert County Public Schools.
A school bus was transporting students to Calvert Elementary when it came to a complete stop at a bus stop, Cassidy said Friday. The bus was then hit from behind by another car. The Calvert County Sheriff's Office, along with Kevin Jackson, the school's vice principal, and Cassidy, arrived at the scene to assess the situation, according to Cassidy.
Students were taken to school and evaluated by the school nurse. Cassidy said school staff notified parents of the incident and sent students home with a note at the end of the day. At the school, a parent decided to take their child to the emergency room, and the student was transported by ambulance, he said.
The accident occurred one day after students on a bus headed to Appeal and Patuxent elementary schools were involved in a school bus incident. According to Cassidy, a school bus was making a three-point turn at Deadwood Drive and Carlesbad Court at approximately 8:54 a.m. Aug. 28, and the side of the bus scraped against a parked trailer. The sheriff's office and Cassidy responded to the scene, students were taken to school and no one was injured, he said.
Cassidy said the transportation department has an accident review committee that reviews details of every accident with the bus driver. Cassidy said any re-training between the transportation department and bus drivers will be discussed there.
A third school bus accident involving Calvert County students also occurred last week, when a bus transporting eighth-graders from The Calverton School, a private school in Huntingtown, was involved in an accident in White Plains while on the way to Colonial Williamsburg on Aug. 28. Two students and a teacher were taken to the hospital and released with minor injuries, according to police and school officials.

Interpretive Handbook
57488 :
Indicans, Urine Qualitative
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Indole is produced by bacterial action on tryptophan in the small intestine. Most is eliminated in the feces; the remainder is absorbed and detoxified in the liver and excreted as indican (indoxyl sulfate) in the urine. The amount of indican normally excreted in the urine is small. However, large amounts are produced as a results of high protein diets and in various disorders such as Hartnup disease, intestinal obstruction, gastric cancer, hypochlorhydria, biliary obstruction, and malabsorptive conditions such as sprue and blind-loop syndrome.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

A man who was discovered in the Potomac River Tuesday night has been identified as the Washington, D.C., police officer previously arrested and charged with producing child pornography last week, according to a statement from the Washington, D.C., police department Wednesday morning.
Marc Washington, 32, of Waldorf, was released from jail Monday under a 24-hour curfew in his father's southern Maryland home following two days of deliberations between Washington's lawyer and prosecutors.
Police said they were contacted by a man Tuesday night. The U.S. Park Police responded to the first block of Ohio Drive SW, at Hains Point, and found an empty car with clothing located nearby.
A man was found in the Potomac just before 9:30 p.m. and rushed to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to Gwendolyn Crump, the D.C. police department's chief spokeswoman. Authorities said the investigation was continuing.

what is the most inspirational quote and or video you have seen that inspires hope and or the will to fight?
I suffer from depression. Kevin's video really hit home because it's the closest explanation for everything I have been experiencing and dealing with in the past three years. I'm currently in the severe state of apathy that he talks about but all these motivational videos and a lot of quotes I have seen recently are starting to help so my question is what is the most inspirational quote and or video you have seen that inspires hope and or the will to fight.
For example:
I heard a quote that has been stuck in my mind for a year now. And I think of it before I make any decision no matter how important,
"Never trade what you want the most, for what you want at the moment"
So any wisdom or motivational anything will help at this point.

"Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice."
I really like this line because I am a fearful person. I am a "playing safe" person and fear limits my life from many things.
Oct 4 2013: This is so true, Doris.
I can relate to your experience of fear. Our thoughts are so powerful that the feelings they produce can paralyse us at times.

Yes thoughts specially negative thoughts such fear is very powerful. It is really a big hindrance to unlock some of our hidden or unrevealed capacities specially when we are afraid of failures.Oct 8 2013: Fear is not a choice. It is a biological disorder which we do not understand.
The fight or flight analogy is not sufficient for the trully anxious
Oct 8 2013: If it is a biological disorder does it mean we can't do something about it?

Oct 8 2013: Choice may or may not be the right word, but fear is an involuntary mental action. And like other involuntary mental actions (heart rate, breathing and blinking) we can learn to control and manage the action. Or like chills and sweating we can control the environment to manage the reaction.

But fear and depression are two different things, with just one important similarity. Like all problem you need to find the source, and beware of false premises in the search.Oct 9 2013: Couldn't agree more with you, I have a very difficult time correctly explaining and or trying to make people understand any of it. But I do know one thing for sure, finding the source is key... At least that's kinda my last hope at this point, I've been to several different doctors at most of them they get my hopes up saying they think they figured out the right direction in which to go along with therapy, and each time they turned out to be false premises, which sends you deeper and deeper until you get to the point I'm at now. Apathy honestly doesn't get the point across, like I said very hard for me to describe it. I know you probably hear this a lot but you truly can't understand the gravity and or the effects (which are rarely the same for each person) of what I'm trying to explain until you experience what I'm talking about.
I think it would at least relieve a large chunk of unnecessary stress if I could just find the right words for this, but I'm not sure it's possible. Oh well
And thank you everybody for your input, it helps more then you know to just talk things through even if I don't get the answers I'm looking for.

Two of my favourite quotes, that I find inspirational are . . .
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain."
Vivian Greene
(I know from personal experience though, that learning to do this can be very difficult.)
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own."
Benjamin Disraeli.
This video about Nick Vujicic, who was born without limbs is also very inspirational . . .

Oct 9 2013: I really appreciate these specific quotes because it reminds of how I used to think, and anything reminds me to think like that is good.
Thanks for your input
Oct 20 2013: You're welcome!Oct 5 2013: I have forgotten who is the author, but I find this quote very motivational.
'Always look forward because there is no regret in that direction.'
Oct 7 2013: I LOOOVE IT!!Oct 9 2013: Definitely like that one for sure, I'm gonna look up this qoute, author doesn't give a name it just says a random monk in a certain time period. This one reminded me of that, ill post it when I find it, I think you'd enjoy it, and like I have been saying everyone of these comments helps even if it's just the fact that I'm getting on here almost everyday where there is positive thinking. So thanks againOct 9 2013: When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town.
I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself,
and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself,
I could have made an impact on my family.
My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
Their impact could have changed the nation and
I could indeed have changed the world.
I guess I like this one because it reminds me that especially right now I can't let myself get overwhelmed with problems to fix, taking it one day at a time one thing at a time and all that good stuff.
And it also helps me remember that I may never be completely free of this but even though I have several years under my belt with this, these things cannot be timed. Because the second you try to put a number on it, and you lose faith in even a smallest believe that it could get better, well unfortunately that usually means your time expires
Oct 9 2013: :) Nice.
With every action we are changing the world, imperceptibly but surely. Question is are we changing it for better or worse?
Suppose you smoke. You decide to quit and stop smoking. On an average you stop contributing 5 mg of carcinogens in the air, may be in your life time two people are saved from having cancer. They live on average 10 years longer, one of them possibly lives to finish writing a book and receives a Pulitzer prize.
So in effect you changed the world to get one more Pulitzer prize winner. Wow!

Oct 9 2013: Having suffered from depression through the majority of my life I recently had a life changing event reading two books by Eckhardt Tolle. "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth"(If you are only going for on of them, go for A New earth - this was the most profound for me).
- +2
The titel makes them sound a bit new age/wacky religious. But what you can really take away from them is the realisation that you are completely caught up in your own thoughts. Until you start disassociating with these thoughts, you will most likely keep living in suffering.
A couple of weeks after reading these books, I had a deep spiritual experience that literally "blew my mind" not only did I feel a deep connectedness(to something...) almost all of my negative thougths were erased from my mind. I am in no way/shape or form religous and if it I hadnt expereinced it, I would not have believed it possible. I now have a completely different outlook on life. Though i still have minor relapses, I now have and unshakable belief that I will get through it.
You should look at it this way. The universe is trying to show you a better way to live, not only that, it might actually be showing you a shortcut! The fact you are living in so much pain and suffering could make it easier to free yourself from "your thinking mind".
I would go so far as to say that my depression might have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Food for thought..

Philosopher John O'Donohue (1956 – 2008)
When the light around you lessens
And your thoughts darken until
Your body feels fear turn
Cold as a stone inside
When you find yourself bereft
Of any belief in yourself
And all you unknowingly
Leaned on has fallen
When one voice commands
Your whole heart,
And it is raven dark,
Steady yourself and see
That is is your own thinking
That darkens your world
Search and you will find
A diamond-thought of light
Know that you are not alone
And that this darkness has purpose
Gradually it will school your eyes
To find the one gift your life requires
Hidden within this night-corner.
Invoke the learning
Of every suffering
You have suffered.
Close your eyes
Gather all the kindling
About your heart
To create one spark.
That is all you need
To nourish the flame
That will cleanse the dark
Of its weight of festered fear.
A new confidence will come alive
To urge you towards higher ground
Where your imagination
Will learn to engage difficulty
As its most rewarding threshold!
..Oct 3 2013: From Lord of the Rings, a quote by Gandalf the Grey:
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."

Oct 3 2013: Rachel Naomi Remens, who is a doctor at UCSF and has lived her life with chronic illness, has written two books. One is called Kitchen Table Wisdom and the other is called something like My Grandfather's Blessing. There is also a quote collection. Each book is a set of short vignettes presenting mostly the stories of patients who you might feel would have every justification for being depressed but have a way of thinking about life and death that overcomes this.
- +2
There is a spiritual flavor to her writing but not a religious one.
She has online talks as well, but as her practice has a large component of working with doctors and other medical people who work with patience undergoing trauma, her talks (rather than her books) tend to be addressing practitioners on how to serve their patients in this time.

Oct 3 2013: Hi Brentley, since you appreciate the scriptures, perhaps you will enjoy reading these wonderfully written articles on depression. They have helped many individuals.
That site also has a video library of bible dramas. Sometimes spending time enjoying spiritual things lifts our spirit.
I have a deep empathy for individuals who suffer from depression.
I hope you prayerfully continue to endure your circumstances, and avail yourself of the help God offers through his word.
Be Well,

"The cure for the pain is the pain." -Sunni proverb
"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." -I'm unsure of this origin
"Just do it." -Nike
All three are not necessarily positive words, but I've found that when I look at comforting, optimistic quotes, they only make me feel more detached and different from the rest of the world. The first one gives pain meaning so I don't see my feelings as pointless. The second legitimizes my feelings, but reminds me there is help and hope. The third one helps me open my eyes and get out of bed every morning.Oct 9 2013: Someone posted this link on Kevin Breel's talk recently.

Our Deepest Fear
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
Oct 4 2013: Indeed, very powerful. Spread the word :-)Oct 5 2013: Such a wonderful and profound message.Oct 8 2013: beautiful.............
Oct 9 2013: Thanks guys.
It's also my favorite poem.
As a matter of fact,this poem was once used by Nelson Mandela in his speech.Oct 9 2013: Great example, I'm not sure if it is word for word the same, but there is a line in the movie coach carter that starts out like your poem and I really enjoyed that one if you know what I'm referring too.

We are all entitled to our own opinion as to what we find helpful, but how is your post helpful to Brentley?
Oct 9 2013: I definitely appreciate this because I have a HUGE problem with letting stuff just go when it clearly bothers me immensely
But in this case, I think I understand where it came from, the first time I read it though I took it the wrong way, I guess just because I'm used to people meaning the wrong way haha
Glad I was not quick to answer and read it again though hahahaOct 9 2013: I appreciate you taking the time to read and throw in a suggestion, I am definitely always looking for a good laugh, the only problem is these days, things that I would usually love and think are funny and relate maybe, are just not anymore, it's really kinda sad. I think the reason I was specific with inspirational, it's hard to explain , but it usually in my experience it makes a deeper more profound thought process start, which sometimes makes me confront things I wouldn't otherwise that need to be confronted, OR make me feel good for the rest of that day, which is HUGE.
I wish I could put it a better way, I feel like I've lost the ability to explain things all together! Haha
If you do have any favorite funny sayings or whatever you might have that you wouldn't mind posting for me,
Always worth a try, haha I'd almost consider paying you if you could make me laugh out loud (my real laugh not the fake one, that I have gotten way to good at by the way ha.

I would say that if that hadn't opened my eyes. I would just be completely miserable you know?Oct 9 2013: I think there is definitely something great that happened, that's when I realized how I let people treat me, and realized that I was extremely unhappy, it was honestly so weird because I realize now my thinking hasn't drastically changed whatsoever, I realized I have always been this unhappy I just somehow hid the truth from myself, got comfortable with the pain, until I guess one day I just woke up and starting realizing that I'd never actually been "happy" I mean and I starting noticing all the things in my life that wernt right which was practically everything. I think that's when it went to where I'm at now.

Anyway would you be comfortable explaining with more detail the event? If you wanted it to be privately, you could email me at email@example.com
If not I understand but I think hearing the details would help a lot,
One more question? Did you kind of understand what I've been trying to explain about how I'm pretty past the point of will power being able to superceed it, as in (i dont know if read all my posts) but if you can relate to how I can't really explain it and how it isn't, i dont know I hope you understand what I'm asking.
Just can find the right words when it comes to this for some reasonOct 9 2013: That's a good question indeed, but I think it can be argued reasonably for both points. I guess that's where faith comes into play, not necessarily faith in god, that too if that's what it means to you but also faith in your fellow human being. You can only have faith that the good outweighs the bad. One thing no one could argue against is NOONE. Is perfect so there's gonna be some bad.
But now I feel bad cause I unfortunately partake in the nasty habit, bows just really not the best time to try and quit though honestlyOct 9 2013: I have been though depression, so never give-up, others have made it through it and so can you.
For many people with mild depression the best thing is "physical-activity", personally I enjoy a good productive-physical-activity. It does not need to be marathon, just be active. Go for a walk, sweep the sidewalk, do some gardening, just force yourself to DO!
When at the end of the day and looking back on the day, there will always be I didn't (everyone has them) the trick is have some I DIDs do wash the didn'ts from your thoughts.
Oct 9 2013: I would definitely not use the word mild to describe my situation. I mean I maybe would have used that to describe it three or four months ago. And I'm not saying mine is any more important or carries more weight, what I'm saying is I'm not saying I would say "no man you don't know shit about depression" cause like I said earlier everyone is equally important no ones problems are bigger or smaller their just different, anyway back to my point.... Where I was going with that is, my psychiatrist(the only one I have trusted this far, seems very competent) and I have talked in depth about a lot of this, and I he explained that there are a few different "degrees" of depression, so maybe your experience wasn't to my "degree". Again I'm not taking anything away from you, that's not my intention. It's just very hard to hear over and over and over again from my parents and or close buddies that know about all this, and don't understand even though they say they do saying stuff like you just gotta do it man, and try to apply how they do things to me........
When in reality you can tell they think I'm just lazy and or something of that sort, when in reality most of the time I physically don't have the energy to even do simple tasks and I can't even describe how hard it is to get motivated to do something active. I'm not saying that's the case all the time but it's definitely the majority. My point is it's extremely frustrating when it's implied or hinted at that I'm not doing everything I can to help myselfOn the other hand I will admit more recently there have been times I could just will through stuff like going for a run or you know whatever might be good but I'm at a stage where sometimes I just don't even care anymore, I'm tired in every sense of the word you could think of and just done. Meaning the only thing that has kept me from throwing a barrel in my mouth is knowing how bad that would hurt my family, but then I wonder........,,,,,Oct 9 2013: How long is that bridge gonna hold. My point is I never thought I'd give up on trying to get better and that's pretty much where I'm at now it took several years to get that way but it happened.. I dont know I don't mean to turn this real morbid just gotta get some things off my mind, can't wait until a sessionOct 7 2013: Napolean Bonaparte had to cross 15 feet valley. The horse could jump 10 feet. From the horse at 10th feet he jumped 5 feet to cross the valley!

So, this is it. I'd rally you all with a Braveheart speech or some such, but I'm kind of a fatalist. It'd be a downer, probably. ("I know we are all deeply flawed human beings, alienated from one another, incapable of true empathy, but arbitrarily bound together by this basketball team. I'm not even from Cleveland, by the way…") But tonight's the night where the future of our Cleveland Cavaliers is determined to either a large or small extent. Probably large. Big night, in all likelihood. Might not be, though. We could totally look back on this night, and go, "Remember when we were all convinced of how momentous an occasion the 2012 draft was going to be, and then nothing particularly consequential happened?" That would be weird, though. Seems like we'd be saying that sort of thing in a nuclear wasteland wrought from war with a brutally violent alien race. Y'know, after some perspective was gained. It's hard to care about sports when your entire family has immolated, and you're drinking irradiated water out of a cup you carved from your dear pet dog Hobbes's pelvis.
I'm geting off track. This is an important night, probably. So let's get out there, and KILL SOME ALIENS! draft boldly and intelligently. Not us, of course. Chris Grant is the actor here. We will not participate in the decision-making process at all. We'll be sitting at home, because none of us are qualified to work in an NBA front office, with our hope and sweaty palms. Maybe a beer. Definitely a beer. (If you're wondering, had the linked article been mine and not Mallory's, all the players would have been PBR, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist would have been the cheapest bottle of champagne imaginable.)
Anyway, updates: we'll have them for you here as picks and/or trades are made. Feel free to cheer, argue, yell, pontificate, etc. in the comment section. Enjoy the spectacle, everyone.
UPDATE I: Chris Broussard is reporting the Cavs are offering the Bobcats the fourth, 24th, and 33rd pick in exchange for the second and 31st picks. Most everyone assumes they're going after Beal.
UPDATE II: The Cavs take Dion Waiters. The world disintegrates like a cookie beneath the rump of a corpulent eight year-old.
UPDATE III: The Cavs traded the 24th and the two second-rounders to Dallas for Tyler Zeller.

Washington – When Russia joins the World Trade Organization (WTO) later this summer, exporters in Hawaii and throughout the United States could increase trade with the world's ninth largest economy. But Congress must first act – by approving permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) legislation – before Hawaii and other states can enjoy the full benefits of Russia's market-opening WTO commitments.
"This is the most significant trade opportunity this year to help support American jobs and grow the United States economy," said Business Roundtable (BRT) President John Engler. "Congressional action on PNTR will benefit Hawaii and its companies, farmers and workers."
The stakes are high for Hawaii. As reported in a recent BRT economic analysis, Hawaii exported $238,000 worth of goods to Russia in 2011. If Congress passes Russia PNTR, this number is expected to grow. If Congress fails to act on PNTR, these numbers will likely fall, as foreign competitors in Europe, Asia and elsewhere will be able to take full advantage of Russia's WTO commitments, but Hawaii and its companies will not.
Russia's WTO membership means, among other things, that it must:
- Lower its tariffs
- Provide greater market transparency
- Protect intellectual property rights
- Abide by the WTO's rules of international trade
For further information on current U.S. trade with Russia on a state-by-state basis and the potential to grow exports from each state to Russia if PNTR legislation is passed, visit www.brt.org/Russia.
Business Roundtable, an association of chief executives of leading U.S. companies, has launched a 50-day campaign to increase pressure on Congress to pass Russia PNTR by the August recess. Russia PNTR is BRT's top trade priority for 2012.
Invested in America
From contributing to a thriving
economy to supporting a healthy and well-educated workforce, to creating a sustainable future, business is invested in America. Business Roundtable members understand that when America succeeds, they succeed.

Incubus is pleased to announce that they will be joining the 2012 Honda Civic Tour with summer with Linkin Park!
Views: 1315
Still waiting on a presale for mt. view too...
Any word on the presale for Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View? :)
@Katelyn P (Banana Molly) yahh girl- for incubus .. i have my ear to the ground and my eyes peeled- been posting lots of event flyers lately and then I FOUND OUT THIS GREATNESS YAYYY!!!! incubus for life!!
>>> RSVP to your unique EVENT date under the Tour Tab (WILL ATTEND)
>>> PreOrder the NEW** HQ LIVE BOXSET!!
>>> From website: "Linkin Park and Incubus join forces on this summer's Honda Civic Tour. The tour kicks off this August in Bristow, VA, and tickets go on sale starting April 27*. Check out our Facebook page for videos and photos from previous Honda Civic Tours, as well as tour news and pre-sale ticket codes."
Just noticed that Incubus will not be a part of the first two dates of the Honda Civic Tour. Dreams= Crushed.
@ aaron Not weird at all. A lot of Linkin Park fans are huge fans of Incubus and have been looking forward to this. Chester has stated in the past they would love to tour with Incubus and that was back in the early days of Hybrid Theory/Meteora. They are usually thanked in their albums as artists that influence them, mostly because the drummer Rob used to see Incubus perform back when they started out He went to school with some of the band members of Incubus so not weird at all. It was just a matter of time.
Incubus, Linkin Park, AND Mute Math. Dream come true.
Incubus; enough said. I can't wait to see them again and erase last year's experience - due to the horrible time I had with "friends" and having my tickets refunded.
Mute Math; saw them at the Tabernacle in '09 after Armistice came out and they were great. And have almost gone to their 3 other tours since, but have only listened to their latest album a few times. So...now I can see them again!
I STILL haven't seen Linkin Park live though - I was a huge fan when their first 2 albums came out. I use to listen to them (and only those 2) EVERY single day on the bus ride home back in middle school. I'd listen to them for motivation also when I'd run. I'm still a fan though, but my tastes changed around '07/'08 and I never checked out 'A Thousand Suns' (I kept telling myself I'd get around to and even buy it, but never did). Alas...I'm really looking forward to it as my tastes are returning to old favorites. I'm thinking I may pre-order their new CD, so I can have new music to run to and have access to the presale.
OR I may purchase the HQ box set, but I don't think I have $200 to spare for it. And not to complain about Incubus - because I love everything they've been doing within the last couple of years to really connect with their fans (ESPECIALLY THIS SITE) / put so much effort into things they release - BUT I could definitely do without the vinyl in their box set. I feel like if they had a CD option for that part of the set - it would be more affordable for fans. Because I don't own a player and wouldn't want to have to go out and buy one. Plus it's not very practical - as there are very few places in my area to buy vinyls. I'm sure the listening experience is worth it and gives the possession of them a statement of some kind - rather than the all-encompassing transfer of everything into digital and/or pirated music. For some of us underprivileged listeners - CDs are OUR form of vinyl. I know Incubus' intent is probably to make this truly a collectors item, but adding that option would be much appreciated. I might give in and buy it anyways. I really enjoyed having a LIVE Incubus concert for 6 days in a row (even though I missed 1 day) in the COMFORT OF MY OWN ROOM! It was so sick. I had a few beers and just chilled. : )
ANYWAYS...annoying fan-rant over.
I'm so excited to hear you guys are touring North America again - I love living in the United States (sometimes). I will definitely be there.
First the Milwaukee show and now this!? Amazing! But yes I agree....I really hope we get some kind of presale code again for this show through incubusHQ...maybe Lauren will let us know.
My fingers are crossed that there will be a presale code available to Incubus fans! I did indeed take notice that Linkin Park is going to offer presale codes to those whom have a membership to their fanclub, and to those whom pre-order their new album, so it genuinely would be only fair to offer some sort of presale code to Incubus fans as well... Nevertheless, am incredibly stoked and looking forward to this show! August 24th in Chicago!
Im sooooo excited! Going to the show in Mountain View, CA!!!!

If you are getting Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit but still find it difficult to pay your rent and/or Council Tax, you may be able to get extra help towards your housing costs in the form of a DHP.
DHPs are not Benefit payments.Ā They are paid in addition to your benefit and are based on your circumstances.
You can apply for a DHP if you are already receiving Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit and that benefit does not cover the full amount of rent or Council Tax Liability.
DHPs cannot pay for the cost of things included in your rent like fuel, water, electricity or other service charges.Ā It cannot pay for arrears of rent or Council Tax.
Contact the Council's Benefit Enquiry Office or Newcastle Housing Advice at Aspire Housing Ltd, for an application form.Ā Alternatively, you can download a form by opening the link opposite.
Answer all the questions on the form giving asĀ much information as you can.
Tell us in your own words why you believe you require additional financial assistance to meet your housing costs.Ā Use another sheet of paper if you need to.
Tell us about any exceptional circumstances you have.Ā you may wish to provide evidence to support your application, for example a letter from your doctor.
Tell us about your weekly income and expenditure.Ā We may ask you to provide evidence of your expenses and debts.
Sign the declaration and return the form with any supporting evidence to Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council or Newcastle Housing Advice at Aspire Housing Ltd.
You will be notified of how long your DHP award will last (if your application is successful).Ā DHPs are awarded for a limited period only to give you time to alleviate your circumstances.
When a DHP award ends you can reapply but account may be taken of what efforts you have made, since your earlier application, to ensure you can meet your housing costs yourself.
If you are awarded a DHP the amount you get will depend on your circumstances and the reason it has been awarded.Ā It cannot be higher than the difference between your housing costs and your benefit entitlement.
We will usually pay your DHP with any Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit that you already get.Ā If the award of the DHP is for help towards your Council Tax then payment will be made direct to your Council Tax account.
A DHP is not covered by the normal appeal rules that apply to Housing and Council Tax Benefit.Ā It is paid purely at the discretion of the Council.
However, if you disagree with our decision either not to award a DHP; or you disagree with the amount awarded or the period of the award, you can ask us to look at our decision again.
Write to us within one month of the date of our decision letter telling us why you do not agree with our decision.
