Should you baptize your baby if you are not religious?
I am a religious person. We don't go to church but I have defintely been thinking about it now that my kids are older. We will have our children baptized when they decide they want it done and can understand what they are doing. I was baptized when I was about 11 after I had been to Summer Bible Camp and understood and knew it was something I wanted to do.

Anzere was the sim for Neualtenburg Projekt from August 2004 to May 2005. Around August 2004, Linden Lab was worried about the way snow sims were "misused"--residents simply ignored the "theme" and built whatever they wanted--even outdoor swimming pools. Very quickly, there was no real difference between a snow sim and a tropical sim in terms of building, and it was too late to "enforce" new rules.
Instead, LL proposed a "contest for the preservation of the snow sims", where part of Anzere (1/2 sim--the rest would be kept as "protected land") would be leased for 4 months--but people would need to gather up tier to support it) for the best project who presented a thematic build and a means to mantain it. The Neualtenburg Projekt, lead by Ulrika Zugzwang, was the winner of the contest, proposing to recreate a medieval Bavarian village (based upon the RL town of Rothenburg) with some post-modern adaptations. As a means for mantaining the village, an elected government would be in charge of keeping it operational, changing and adapting the structures, holding events, promoting a financially sound operation (where the income generated by the city would be used to pay for tier), and generally keeping the city operational even when some of the residents left Second Life by electing new people for the government--unlike groups based on selected individuals, which usually fall apart when the "leader" of the project leaves SL.
This project has always been a source of discussion and argument since it's a counterpoint to the "corporatist oligarchy" mantained by the Lindens on the mainland sims. In Neualtenburg, residents elect their own governments, which mantain order as they see fit--there are rules, organization, planning, discussing, and, of course, enforcement of certain standards.
After the lease expired, Neualtenburg moved to its own sim, currently renamed to Neufreistadt, is the oldest region of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS). The CDS continues the democratic experiment in Second Life.
The Anzere InfoHub is currently maintained by the CDS and is considered an integral part of the community.

Actor Akkineni Nagarjuna's "Soggade Chinni Nayana", which releases worldwide on Friday, is his first release since 2014 Telugu drama "Manam".
"I don't think about stardom anymore. I'm way past that phase. The only thing that matters to me now is doing good films. I may not have had a release in 2015, but the wait has paid off with 'Soggade…', which has come out really well," Nagarjuna said.
Directed by debutant Kalyan Krishna, the film also stars Ramya Krishnan and Lavanya Tripathi in important roles.
Talking about the film in which he plays dual roles, he said: "I play the father and son. This is a fun film with a ghost angle. I also come as a ghost, but I won't be scaring anybody. This is not your regular horror film. It's a lovely story of a father returning as a soul to help his son".
While the project was supposed to be finished earlier, Nagarjuna says the delay was inevitable.
"Quite early on, Shruti Haasan walked out of the project for unknown reasons. We had to wait for three months until Tamannaah Bhatia came on board as her replacement. Though we completed shooting in September, we spent the last few months on post-production," he said.
A stickler for details, Nagarjuna ensured there was no compromise in the overall product.
"Once I finish shooting a film, I usually sit on it to see how we can make it better. This is something I've been doing for many years on all my projects," he said.
In a long time, Nagarjuna has starred in a film that's completely set against a village backdrop.
"It's been a while since we had a film set completely in a village. Although villages are fast catching up with the cities, there's still something special about shooting there, like its serene environment. It was an amazing experience," he said.
As much as Nagarjuna is excited about the release of "Soggade…", he's also concerned about going head on with three more releases – "Nannaku Prematho", "Dictator" and "Express Raja".
"I find this trend very unhealthy, because it will force us to share our success. I had announced the release date of my film nearly three months ago and had even paid advance to theatres and blocked screens. Since I had planned in advance, there was no way I was going to step out of the race," he added.
Nagarjuna also awaits the release of Telugu-Tamil bilingual "Oopiri", which also features Tamil actor Karthi alongside him.

After you go down the alley, you find a charming place to stay in Beijing. We are in our mid 60's and traveled with another couple. Most people staying there were in our age bracket. Although the rooms are on the edge of the courtyard, it was very quiet and relaxing. The location is excellent and Bob, the manager, was very helpful. The rooftop area was delightful. On our first night Bob recommended a restaurant nearby. The owner's of the hostel happened to be there and took time to meet us and helped us order a delicious meal.

Figure 19.1 The CD Player
In this lesson, you will learn how to create a CD player that can play a music CD or DVD. It allows the user select a track to play, to fast forward, to rewind and also to eject the CD. It can also display the track being played.
To be able to play multimedia files or multimedia devices, you need to insert Microsoft Multimedia Control into your VB application that you are going to create. However, Microsoft Multimedia Control is not included in the startup toolbox by default, you need to add the MM control by pressing Ctrl+T and select it from the components dialog.

Hope wherever you are there's a cool breeze, AC or liquid of some description to cool you down! On the east coast of Australia, temps are hitting the mid-30s and in some places, into the 40s, leading to mass ablutions at beaches, pools and lakes.
What a great way to start the summer, bush fire dangers aside, as industry pundits give a cheer for El Niño and its ability to inspire people to buy or use their boats - good business all round!
According to BOM, the term El Niño refers to 'the extensive warming of the central and eastern Pacific that leads to a major shift in weather patterns across the Pacific. In Australia (particularly eastern Australia), El Niño events are associated with an increased probability of drier conditions'. Sounds like fair weather to drive a positive summer.
This week, there's a fresh batch of boating, fishing, yachting and industry news from the region and the world, starting with an update on the speakers and additional benefits of registering to attend ASMEX 2013 in May next year, as well as a preview of the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle + 4X4 Expo which hits Brissie in March. Exhibitor interest is high as people rush to secure space for Australia's largest outdoor show.
Ironically, the same week that John West resolved to only source tuna from fishing practices that are scientifically proven sustainable, and reject techniques such as the use of FAD-associated purse seine nets, commencing 2015, so too did the NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson propose a raft of reforms for that state's commercial fishing industry, citing the benefits for 'the long-term viability and sustainability of the State's fisheries resources'.
Central to the changes are an initial fee increase from July 2013, moving towards fees based on resource access. Following on from the commercial fishing/prawning story we ran last week, please spare some time to read the updated piece and opinions from the Batemans Bay fishing community, those who believe they will be hardest hit by this rationalisation.
Loads of products and boats launched this week, plenty more to come and some important features in the pipeline. We won't stop for Christmas, perhaps just for pudding, but the news will keep flowing so stay in touch.
Grab a G&T or other such refreshment, pause and catch up with latest marine news from all over this blue planet.
Happy boating this week, and over this long, hot summer!

Recently, Spiceworks stopped recieving new tickets from our dedicated email address. We have the email address configured on the server to forward to the email address of both staff who vet the tickets as well, so we're not missing the requests; they are just failing to create tickets in SW.
Only two things have changed recently.
1. We changed the password for the email account (which was then updated in the SW configuration).
2.We changed the default port for RDP from 3389. (I tried changing this back; no help)
I noticed some others have had this same issue recently (17760); is this a SW bug?
I tried creating another email address and reconfiguring SW to accept tickets from it, with no success. SW successfully sends the confirmation email, but new emails sent to the address do not create tickets.
I also tried restarting SW before and after the email address change.
Thanks for your time.

What happens when you click the "refresh" button in the helpdesk toolbar? Does that work? If so, then the problem is with the background thread that checks the email (not the email settings).
Aug 6, 2008 at 2:39 UTC
Thanks for the reply.
The "Refresh Tickets" button results in no change. Tickets sent via the helpdesk dedicated email address are still not showing up in the helpdesk module.
Some new information:
There is a possibly related separate issue with the server that houses Spiceworks. I haven't figured out the reason why yet, but http requests for websites outside our local intranet are returning a "cannot find server" error. I can only ping local ip addresses as well. Any external IP times out.
I'm wondering if imap/pop services are blocked on the server somehow as well?
Other servers connected to the same switch have external connectivity.
Aug 6, 2008 at 2:45 UTC
I think I'm going to have to get you to contact support(at)spicewroks(dot)com with your log files. They'll tell you how to package them up and send them in. The "related issue" you mention above could very well be part of the problem, but we won't know until we see your log files.
Aug 15, 2008 at 12:12 UTC
I sent Christopher8420 a preview of the patch as we have reimplemented the "Clear" button to clear your email settings if you needed to, as this clears the email settings in the database. Manually clearing the fields in the Email settings didn't work and in some cases without the "clear" button we found that if any changes were made by the Admin in their environment such as a password change, reconfiguration (name change) on their email server the settings would appear to save properly in Email settings but, retain the old settings which were perhaps now invalid to the new mail server config.
The resolution for tickets not polling properly was removing the forwarded mail account(s) connected to the dedicated Help Desk account. In this case when a request was submitted to the Help Desk account it immediately forwarded to the other attached accounts therefore not arriving in the Help desk inbox to create a ticket properly. The error received in the log file was:
Processing TicketsController#check_email
mailman: checking for new tickets
mailman: Exception while checking pop mail: Net::POPAuthenticationError: -ERR access denied
Let me know if you have some similar issues regarding tickets not being created in Spiceworks and whether or not you are using Exchange or POP/SMTP
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

'UVF scum say they protect locals but they're forcing me out of my own home'
Nicole is too frightened to return to the home she shares with her six-year-old-son, terrified the UVF will burn them in their beds.
This slightly built 23-year-old single mum is the latest target in the sights of the UVF who have waged an 18-month campaign of intimidation and threats.
Her tormentors used the cover of darkness to attack her home on Sunday night, daubing cross hairs on her door and living room window.
She awoke to find the sinister threat defacing the front of her Olympia Street home close to the Village in south Belfast.
It was the last straw in a sickening cowardly campaign that has forced Nicole to live the life of a recluse – too frightened to go out, terrified to answer a knock at the door in case it is the UVF coming calling.
On the rare occasion she ventures to the shops she is shadowed by the UVF, men shout at her in the street.
Speaking to the Sunday World at a secret location on Sandy Row she revealed her life under the UVF jackboot.
"It's a terrible way to live," she said, "in fact, I have no life, I can't answer the door, I can't go out, and now I'm terrified they will attack my home.
"We can't go back while this is going on."
The men behind the intimidation are members of the Village UVF under the control of local commander Colin 'Meerkat' Fulton, who came to public prominence during the flag protests.
Fulton, who proclaims himself a community worker, is a member of the UVF's political wing the PUP. When the Sunday World attempted to contact the party no-one was available for comment.
Nicole is innocent of any wrongdoing. The terror group which boasts of protecting loyalist communities has chosen as its enemy a vulnerable young woman struggling to get by and build a life for her child.
She has been singled out because of a threat on her boyfriend.
Nicole's house has been targeted by thugs
"This has nothing to do with me, Shane doesn't even live in that house, he never has, but because they haven't been able to get him they are picking on me."
Shane 28, prides himself on being a loyalist, he was an active participant in the flag protests of 2012 and 2013. Arrested for his part in an ugly riot in August 2013 in Belfast city centre he was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
He had attended a number of protests which he said had been arranged via social media, and while he admits the UVF jumped on the protest bandwagon he has never had any dealings with the terror group.
"I did my bird, kept my head down, I didn't bother with them while I was inside, anyway I was in Magilligan, there's none of them there."
Having used his time in jail to gain some qualifications he managed to find a job when he got out in April last year.
Determined to put his experiences behind him , the Sandy Row man set about rebuilding his life while in a relationship with Nicole.
The UVF had other ideas.
"They started calling to the house and asking to see him," said Nicole.
"I kept saying 'he's not here' but they kept coming, ordering him to go to meetings, then they started saying he owed them (UVF) money in (membership) dues."
Shane insists he has never joined a paramilitary organisation.
"I'm a loyalist, I supported the flag protests, but I've never had anything to do with the UVF."
The couple appealed to then DUP councillor Ruth Patterson and the harassment diminished, only for it to start up again a year ago.
This time Nicole was being followed and shouted at in the street and then came the first threat.
"The police came to Nicole's door and told her I was under threat."
And still the calls kept coming, Shane moved away from his home and is currently living away from Sandy Row.
"I'm terrified for her and the child, they can do what they want with me, I'm not giving them any money, but this has nothing to do with her."
He was forced to quit his job as police had warned he could be attacked at his place of work.
And then a few weeks ago came the second death threat again delivered to Nicole's home.
"They're scum, they say they are here to protect local people, " she said, "there was graffiti at the bottom of my street which said `locals only' and yet here they are threatening me and forcing me out of my home.
"Attacking women, single mothers, some paramilitaries. They are torturing people and nobody seems to be able to do anything, they are a law unto themselves."
Forced to rely on the support of family and friends Nicole cannot summon the strength to take her son home.
"It's coming up to Christmas, we put up the tree last weekend, I was determined to make it special. His (son) presents are in the house, I'm just terrified I'm going to lose it all. And for what?"

Tsavorite or tsavolite is a variety of the garnet group species grossular, a calcium-aluminium garnet with the formula Ca3Al2Si3O12.[2] Trace amounts of vanadium or chromium provide the green color.
Green grossular had been rare until 1967, when British gem prospector and geologist Campbell R. Bridges came across a deposit of the mineral in the mountains of north-east Tanzania.[3] The specimens he found were of very intense color and of high transparency. The find interested the gem trade, and attempts were made to export the stones, but the Tanzanian government did not provide permits.
Believing that the deposit was a part of a larger geological structure extending possibly into Kenya, Bridges began prospecting in that nation. He was successful a second time in 1971, when he found the mineral variety there,and was granted a permit to mine the deposit. Until 1974, the gemstone was only known to mineral specialists; in that year Tiffany and Co launched a marketing campaign which brought broader recognition of the stone.[3]
The name tsavorite was proposed by Tiffany and Co president Henry Platt in honor of Tsavo National Park in Kenya.[3] Apart from the source locality in Tanzania it is also found in Toliara (Tuléar) Province, Madagascar, but so far, no other occurrences of gem material have been discovered.
Rare in clean gems over 1 carat (200 mg) in weight, tsavorite has been found in sizes yielding up to 15 carat (3 g) stones.

Re: STOP Animal Control From Selling Animals for Research
Dear Board of Commissioners:
I am very shocked by some alarming news I have heard: Jackson County Animal Control's practice of "pound seizure" -- selling unclaimed shelter animals to research dealers and/or facilities.
As you know, shelters were developed as places where people could bring unwanted or stray animals with the hope new homes would be found for them. Pound seizure betrays the trust of those people as well as the animals who were once their companions.
Please consider:
~~ These innocent beings suffer the double blow of abandonment and then confinement to a laboratory cage, often painful testing, and the loss of human friends.
~~ A lost or stolen pet may not be located or rescued in time to prevent this tragedy.
~~ A animal guardian doesn't know if a beloved companion will fall into the hands of researchers as long as animals from pounds are allowed to be sold to these facilities.
~~ Pound seizure results in a loss of revenue. When the public becomes aware that impounded animals will be sold for research and public trust is lost, people abandon animals rather than bring them to a shelter. This causes more work for animal control personnel; adds to the formation of dog packs; contributes to the overpopulation that has been the cause of it all; and forces animals to try to survive on the streets -- only to suffer short, unbearable lives and horrific deaths.
~~ According to the In Defense of Animals' Stolen Companion Animal Program, when a shelter sells its homeless animals, statistics show an increase in the theft of dogs and cats due to the motive for quick cash.
The issue is not whether using animals in research is necessary, right or wrong. This is about innocent companion animals who once knew love, warmth, and affection who are turned into commodoties by the shelters that were set up for their protection.
Please immediately ban the sale by animal shelters of homeless and abandoned animals to research facilities and dealers.
Thank you for your consideration and anticipated compassion.
Your Name

Dear Board of Commissioners:
Please add my voice to those who are opposed to shelters that are involved with the practice of "pound seizure" -- selling unclaimed shelter animals to research facilities.
According to the IDA Stolen Companion Animal Program, when a shelter sells its homeless animals, statistics point to an increase in the theft of dogs and cats. This is due to a profit motive to sell animals. While many pound workers are ethical and hard working, the temptation to sell animals by the back door for quick cash is an all too familiar reality across our country.
No one can be certain their own beloved companion will never fall into the hands of researchers as long as animals from pounds are allowed to be sold to researchers. A lost or stolen pet may not be located or rescued in time to prevent this tragedy.
Estimates of the number of animals tortured and killed annually in US laboratories diverge widely -- from 17 to 70 million animals. The majority of dogs and cats used in experiments come from breeders, animal shelters and pounds, and organized "bunchers" who pick up strays, purchase litters from unsuspecting people who allow their companion animals to become pregnant, obtain animals from "Free to a Good Home" advertisements, or trap and steal the animals.
Enormous physiological variations exist among rats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, and human beings. A 1989 study to determine the carcinogenicity of fluoride illustrated this fact. Approximately 520 rats and 520 mice were given daily doses of the mineral for two years. Not one mouse was adversely affected by the fluoride, but the rats experienced health problems including cancer of the mouth and bone. As test data cannot accurately be extrapolated from a mouse to a rat, it can't be argued that data can accurately be extrapolated from either species to a human.
In many cases, animal studies do not just hurt animals and waste money; they harm and kill people, too. The drugs thalidomide, Zomax, and DES were all tested on animals and judged safe but had devastating consequences for the humans who used them. A General Accounting Office report, released in May 1990, found that more than half of the prescription drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration between 1976 and 1985 caused side effects that were serious enough to cause the drugs to be withdrawn from the market or relabeled. All of these drugs had been tested on animals.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine reports that sophisticated non-animal research methods are more accurate, less expensive, and less time-consuming than traditional animal-based research methods. Patients waiting for helpful drugs and treatments could be spared years of suffering if companies and government agencies would implement the efficient alternatives to animal studies.
This practice of experimenting on animals encourages animal users not to venture into more humane teaching and testing methods, and it puts already traumatized shelter animals through more pain, suffering, and distress before they are killed in the laboratory.
Pound seizure can also result in a loss of revenue for many reasons. Where there is public awareness that impounded animals will be sold for research, public trust is tarnished. People abandon animals in the county which creates more work for animal control personnel, adds to the formation of dog packs and the destruction of other animals. Pound seizure actually increases the cost of tax-supported animal control.
For all of the above reasons, I strongly urge you to immediately ban the sale of homeless and abandoned animals to research facilities.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing your decision.

Pain, and
a future
on hold
After being pushed to the edge, Laura Bryant has found a way to get her life back. Now she lives in fear of having it taken away again.
One in five Australians suffers from chronic pain. For many, conventional medication offers little relief.
This article is part of a series looking at the medical cannabis debate.
Part 1: Cannabis kids
Part2: The politics of pot
he stared at the exam study question in front of her, pushed the well-chewed biro back into the corner of her mouth, and frowned over the top of her glasses. Laura Bryant knew the answer to this one.
"Name the different categories of the Poison Standard," it said.
"Schedule 3 - pharmacist only medicine."
"Schedule 4 - prescription only."
"Schedule 6 - poison, Schedule 7 - dangerous poison."
And there it was, right down at the bottom in schedule 9 next to the heroin, cocaine and amphetamines, the one thing that made it possible for her to get out of bed and to attend her exams in the first place - cannabis.
While much of the debate in Australia about medicinal cannabis has focused on epileptic children or cancer patients seeking end-of-life palliative care, one of the largest group of potential beneficiaries of the drug has been largely overlooked: those living with debilitating, ongoing chronic pain.
According to lobby group Pain Australia fewer than 10 per cent of those in chronic pain are getting effective treatment, with many facing long wait times for care. Medical opinion remains divided on cannabis, with a number of respected medical bodies calling for caution rather than haste, despite studies showing it can provide relief for many chronic non-cancer pain sufferers.
Studies also show that as many as 80 per cent of pain patients are missing out on treatment that could improve their lives.
And then there are those like Laura, who despite access to some of the best treatment fail to respond to the options available.
Laura at home.
The cold Canberra weather had been playing havoc with her joints and the stress of study had caused her arthritis to flare up again. Her hands and feet had been aching a lot and the blotches on her skin had returned.
She reached for the bottle of oil she kept in the small glittery orange purse in the bottom of her backpack and placed a couple of drops of the pale yellow liquid under her tongue.
Climbing into the Daihatsu 4WD she cranked up the music and turned onto a quiet back street, avoiding the main road. The cannabis oil had negligible amounts of the psychoactive compound THC, but that didn't stop it showing up in random roadside drug tests. At best they might take her licence away if they pulled her over, at worse they could take away her supply.
"What happened to you?," a friend with a concerned look on her face asked as she spotted Laura hobbling towards the lecture theatre on an elbow crutch decorated with stick-on sparkles.
It was the end of first semester and like the rest of the people she had met at university, this friend had known only the good Laura. She hadn't met the girl whose morning ritual just nine months ago had involved waking up, reaching for a fistful of pills and crawling to the bathroom where she would lie for two hours, soaking in a hot bath waiting for the stabbing pain in her back and hips to ease a little. The pain was never dull, it was always like a knife.
She remembered the day she had lined up all the pills and counted them - 28 in total. Pills for breakfast, pills for lunch and pills for dinner. So many pills they turned her sweat orange, not that any of them helped much.
Her friends didn't know the Laura who would pass out on the hospital floor from the stabbing in her vertebra, who would answer 'seven' when the doctors asked her to rate her pain out of 10 because she was worried they might accidently overdose her on morphine again.
They didn't know the girl who, on a good day, might be able to make it out of her room in time for lunch, where even if she could eat, would last no longer than 20-30 minutes before her mother Bernadette would have to help her back to bed, where she would spend her day watching television. She had watched a lot of television in the last three years since the ankylosing spondylitis became worse.
"Name the five movements of hand hygiene."
As she looked at the test questions she thought about the 30cm-long needle with the 45-degree bend in it the doctors had pushed into her spine, and she thought about the day she had begged her mother to help her end it all and to put her out of her misery.
Left: Laura leaves hospital with a fresh bag of medication. Top right: during a painful flare-up; and Below right: Being taken from her south Canberra home in an ambulance.
This is your life now
It had started with the usual low expectations as Laura made her way into the specialist's office. The doctor had tried to break the news to her patient gently, but she didn't want to give false hope, and she knew this was going to be a difficult conversation. She shifted uneasily in her chair.
"If this doesn't work, I'm afraid this is pretty much it," the doctor said, as they discussed changes to Laura's cortisone and biological injections.
"You're on everything we can give you, there are no more treatment options."
"So you're telling me basically my life is going to be spent horizontal in bed,?" Laura asked.
"What about trials, what research is happening, where can we do our own research?," her father David began asking.
"I'm sorry, I've run out of options," the specialist repeated, shaking her head.
"We'll go overseas if we have to," David said, but they already knew that was unlikely to be a solution. Weeks earlier Bernadette had asked a friend in the medical sphere to pass Laura's treatment notes to his international contacts and the answer had come back the same each time. Sure, there were experts at the Mayo Clinic and elsewhere they could talk to, but Laura was already receiving the gold standard treatment for her condition.
She she looked at the deflated expression on the doctor's face, and for the first time the facade Laura had perfected over the years, the expression her mother had labelled 'the mask', came crashing down. She began weeping as the spiralling realisation that this was the end of the road hit her like a wall.
A terrible journey
The pharmaceuticals had already made it difficult for Laura to eat, but depression had also now robbed her of the will to try. Staring at the Oxycontin pills in her hand she thought to herself, "Why not just take a couple of extra and be done with it?"
Since returning from the last doctor's visit her parents had become too scared to leave her in the house alone.
"This is going to be your life," the doctor had said to her. But what sort of life was this for a 20-year-old?
Her little brother John had been due back at boarding school in Sydney a few days later, and even though the long drive was likely to be difficult, David and Bernadette decided they would try to take Laura to the South Coast on the way for a few days in an attempt to take her mind off the grim prognosis the doctor had handed her.
On arrival David tried a couple of times to coax Laura out of the house and down to the beach, but she just shook her head each time as she pictured trying to walk on the soft sand and the pain that was likely to cause.
As the time came to take John to Sydney, Bernadette loaded the back seat of the Audi Q7 with pillows, blankets and an esky of healthy snacks from the new diet they were trying that was supposed to help relieve pain. Laura swallowed another fistful of pills and climbed in the back.
By the time they reached the outskirts of Sutherland Shire, everyone in the car knew they were in trouble. It was the Monday night of the Anzac Day long weekend and the GPS had taken them the wrong way. They were now stuck in a traffic jam. Laura, doubled up in the backseat, began screaming.
"I don't want to do this anymore, I can't do this, I can't do this!"
Rain was pelting down outside, and Bernadette swung the SUV into an empty unlit car yard on the side of the road. She began frantically groping in the dark, in the pouring rain, searching the back of the vehicle for the packet of Valium hidden somewhere in the luggage.
"It's going to be OK," John said, grabbing his wailing big sister's hand, waiting for his drenched mother to reappear with the pills. But by now tears were streaming down his face too.
Finally back in the car, Bernadette looked at the pills in her trembling hand.
"Just give them to me!," Laura screamed, and for a fleeting moment Bernadette thought about giving her a lot.
As they finally arrived at the house where they were staying, their friends opened the front door to find the exhausted, tear-stained family in their driveway, and knew immediately what had happened. As they scooped up Laura and took her in for a hot bath, Bernadette lingered for a moment in the driveway hugging her 16-year-old son, trying to process what had just happened.
"Honey, it's going to be alright," she said, as she tried to comfort him. But neither of them knew if that was true.
Hope returns
The pills had made it hard for her to concentrate on a book or to read for very long, so Laura had filled her days instead watching television. Lying in bed one day, a show came on about children in the United States suffering seizures and a company called Charlotte's Web which was growing a low-psychoactive strain of cannabis that was helping them.
And then the narrator made a passing reference that almost made her fall out of bed - it was helping arthritis sufferers too. Laura turned to her computer and started typing.
"I know you're in the US and I'm in Australia and that you can't help me directly," she wrote to the Colorado-based company, "but can you give me any advice or put me in touch with people here? I'm desperate."
Unbeknown to Laura, her mother had been searching the internet too. Bernadette had pretty much given up sleeping since Laura's symptoms had worsened, preferring instead to spend her nights sitting in bed trawling through medical websites on her iPad.
As she flicked over page after page of information she had already read a hundreds times before, she stumbled on a conference in Tamworth where some of the world leaders in medicinal cannabis would be speaking. These were not hippies with backyard plots, they were scientists and doctors from countries like Canada and the United States, respected people already running large scale state-sanctioned cannabis crops for medical production. Maybe this could be a chance?
A few weeks later as she sat with her parents on the terrace next to the pool looking out at the view of Black Mountain across the valley, Laura opened the bag with "Laura's weed" that her brother had scribbled on the side, packed up the pipe in her other hand and struck up the lighter.
Laura at Oztag.
A few days later the cannabis oil was available, and the morning routine of pills, bed, bath gradually started getting shorter.
Within a fortnight the stiffness in her pelvis had eased, and she no longer needed the hot baths. One morning as he prepared to go upstairs to wake her and say goodbye on his way to work, David turned to find Laura already on her way down to breakfast.
Soon, the shower chair and toilet aids had been shifted out of the house, and her mother suggested they get a personal trainer in once a week. The two of them could work out together at home.
"If it keeps going well, maybe I'll be able to move out at the end of the year with my friends from uni," she said. "I want to travel, I'm feeling ambitious about life again."
As she stood at the top of the steep driveway watching Laura sprinting up the hill and joking with the trainer who wasn't letting her stop just yet, Bernadette raised her hand to her mouth as emotions welled up suddenly, catching her off guard.
"She's so boisterous and like a whirlwind sometimes," she said. "David and I had almost forgotten that side of her."
I can't go back to how it was'
"The Faculty of Pain Medicine considers that calls for the liberalisation of the availability of cannabinoids as medicines are based more on anecdote that on sound clinical science and practice," the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists had told the Senate.
"[The faculty] does not endorse the use of cannabinoids in chronic non-cancer pain until such time as a clear therapeutic role for them is identified in the scientific literature."
Laura had heard arguments like these before, and mostly they made her furious.
"The medical system failed me, the hospitals failed me, there are medical journals out there supporting the use of medical cannabis.
"Why did I have to get to the point where my mother had to sedate me on the side of the road and my little brother had to go through that? Why did I have to get the point where I didn't want to live any more when there is a medication out there that has changed my life but I'm not supposed to have it?"
Her anger had morphed into a will to bring about change. Yes, there were risks in speaking out, but maybe by doing so she could help educate a few sceptics.
She wanted to track down every member of parliament who opposed changes to the drug laws and shake them. She wanted to show them the photo of her gripping the bars on the end of the bed with white knuckles, her face screwed into a ball of pain, or the one of her in a wheelchair with tubes coming out of her nose, and then to ask them whether they thought it was ok to make her go back to that life.
Reading through the Facebook group set up for Australians with ankylosing spondylitis one evening, she began scrolling through some of the new posts.
"It's hard to have a positive attitude when you know you are stuck with this for life. I just want to be able to do simple things that I use to with no pain. Do any of you out there feel the same?," read one.
"What the hell is wrong with me?!," asked another. "I am in so much pain. A 30-year-old shouldn't hurt this bad."
She wanted to tell them that a couple of drops of CBD cannabis oil every morning was all they needed. But she worried that if she did it could see a rush of people trying to get access to the same limited supply she relied on, and the one thing she couldn't contemplate was going back to the way it was before.
There were also no guarantees it would work for others, and she had been using it herself for less than a year. What if she built up a tolerance to it like she had to other drugs?
She could read no more, and closed down the page.
She thought about her little brother crying in the back of the car in Sydney, holding her hand, and wished he had never had to do that. She thought about the first time she had been strong enough to babysit her nephew and take him to the park to play and how it had made her sister so happy that she had cried.
And then she thought about all the stories on the Facebook group she had read but never responded to, who were all just as desperate as she had been.
"I want to show the sceptics that I am not some 20-year-old stoner, that this is medicine and that it has given me my life back. I want them to know that without it, I will go back to the way I was, and even if my condition isn't life threatening, the sideeffects of it are."
And then she thought about how lonely she had been, stuck in her bedroom day after day unable to do the normal things she now took for granted, like hanging out at her friends' houses in the evenings, or going out for burritos.
"I think I will start contributing to the group," she said. "I want people to know there is hope. I want them to know not to stop trying."

Description: Ten years of research uncover the secret source of growth and profit …Those who center their business on improving people's lives have a growth rate triple that of competitors and outperform the market by a huge margin. They dominate their categories, create new categories and maximize profit in the long term.Pulling from a unique ten year growth study involving 50,000 brands, Jim Stengel shows how the world's 50 best businesses—as diverse as Method, Red Bull, Lindt, Petrobras, Samsung, Discovery Communications, Visa, Zappos, and Innocent—have a cause and effect relationship between financial performance and their ability to connect with fundamental human emotions, hopes, values and greater purposes. In fact, over the 2000s an investment in these companies—"The Stengel 50"—would have been 400 percent more profitable than an investment in the S&P 500. Growis based on unprecedented empirical research, inspired (when Stengel was Global Marketing Officer of Procter & Gamble) by a study of companies growing faster than P&G. After leaving P&G in 2008, Stengel designed a new study, in collaboration with global research firm Millward Brown Optimor. This study tracked the connection over a ten year period between financial performance and customer engagement, loyalty and advocacy.Then, in a further investigation of what goes on in the "black box" of the consumer's mind, Stengel and his team tapped into neuroscience research to look at customer engagement and measure subconscious attitudes to determine whether the top businesses in the Stengel Study were more associated with higher ideals than were others. Growthus deftly blends timeless truths about human behavior and valuesinto an action framework – how you discover, build, communicate, deliver and evaluate your ideal. Through colorful stories drawn from his fascinating personal experiences and "deep dives" that bring out the true reasons for such successes as the Pampers, HP, Discovery Channel, Jack Daniels and Zappos, Growunlocks the code for twenty-first century business success.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc (MUFG) could seek to renegotiate the terms of a planned $9 billion cash injection into investment bank Morgan Stanley, CNBC reported on Friday, even as sources told Reuters the deal was still on track to close on Tuesday.
Unidentified people at Morgan Stanley, whose shares ended down 22 percent after earlier losing more than double that, also said it was possible that the U.S. Treasury could end up taking a stake in the firm, CNBC reported.
Even if the deal does close, there were some questions whether the MUFG investment would be enough to let the company, whose ratings Moody's Investors Service has said it might cut, ride out the current storm.
Morgan Stanley looks increasingly wobbly to some investors as its share price plummets, but analysts said the bank would be more likely to find buyers than Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc , whose bankruptcy last month set off a chain reaction which shook investors confidence in much of Wall Street.
In the worst case scenario of no buyers emerging, the government would be unlikely to let the bank fail, a person close to the matter said.
Morgan Stanley's entire market value now stands at $10.3 billion, about $1 billion more than what MUFG, Japan's largest bank, insists it plans to pay for 21 percent of the company.
"Morgan Stanley shares have been under extraordinary pressure as of late, for no apparent fundamental reason, as we estimate liquidity, the balance sheet, and long-term earnings prospects are sound," David Trone, an analyst with Fox-Pitt Kelton Cochran Caronia Waller, said in a research note.
"However, as we've seen with Bear Stearns and Lehman, once the fear virus has infected the story, it is tough to shake."
Earlier this week, Morgan Stanley Chief Executive John Mack, facing his biggest test since taking the helm in June 2005, warned staffers that the bank would be under siege but urged them to stay upbeat.
Mack, 63, lost a power struggle at Morgan Stanley earlier this decade and left the bank, only to return in 2005 and boost the investment bank's trading risk at what critics said was the wrong time.
A source familiar with the situation denied any renegotiation was going on. Morgan Stanley has received all regulatory approvals for the investment by MUFG, which is expected to close on Tuesday, said the source, who asked not to be named.
The source also denied that any discussions had taken place with the Treasury or U.S. Federal Reserve about their taking a stake in the company.
Moody's warned on Friday it might cut the long-term debt ratings of Morgan Stanley and larger rival Goldman Sachs Group Inc, which would increase their borrowing costs and may force them to put up more collateral for trades.
Morgan Stanley, whose shares have lost about 70 percent in the past week and are near their lowest in nearly 14 years, declined to comment on the movement in its stock and debt, or on speculation about the MUFG deal.
The 73-year-old firm, which became the fifth-largest U.S. bank after its recent conversion to a bank holding company, has little choice but to wait for Tuesday, when it could complete its $9 billion sale of stock and convertible preferred shares to Mitsubishi. The deal could be completed before U.S. markets open on Tuesday.
People inside the bank say there was no effort under way to accelerate the waiting period for the Mitsubishi deal.
MUFG has affirmed it expects to close the deal on Tuesday at the same terms, even though it would immediately absorb a more than $2 billion paper loss on the stock, based on current prices.
Shares in Goldman, which declined to comment on the Moody's move, were down 12 percent. The Amex Securities Broker-Dealer Index rose 3 percent.
Roughly 489,000 options traded in Morgan Stanley, twice the normal daily turnover as puts outpaced calls by more than 3 to 1, according to option analytics firm Trade Alert.
The cost to insure Morgan Stanley's debt against default rose on Friday, indicating investor concern about its financial stability. The bank's five-year credit default swaps rose to an upfront payment of 24 percent of the sum insured, plus 5 percent a year, from 19 percent on Thursday, according to Phoenix Partners Group.
That means it would cost $2.4 million to insure $10 million of debt plus $500,000 a year.
"The ratings might be cut and if you look at the credit default swaps are kind of blowing out ... Maybe Morgan Stanley is the next company to be on the ropes or in deep, deep trouble," said Ken Crawford, senior portfolio manager of Argent Capital Management in St Louis.
Moody's said its review was "based upon its expectation that an extended downturn in global capital market activity will reduce Morgan Stanley's revenue and profit potential in 2009, and perhaps beyond this period."
Still, Moody's noted that Morgan Stanley had moved quickly to reduce risk on its balance sheet and decrease leverage, and said the firm has a "good liquidity profile."
According to a Morgan Stanley filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, the company had $175 billion of average liquidity at the end of August, of which $81 billion was at the holding company level.
It had a tier 1 capital ratio of 12.7 percent at the end of August and $23 of assets for every dollar of equity.
Veteran Ladenburg Thalmann bank analyst Richard Bove cited the MUFG comments, along with disclosures in Morgan Stanley's latest quarterly regulatory filing that it had minimal exposure to Lehman Brothers' counterparty risk, as positive developments.
Still, he wrote in a research note: "Confidence is still the key variable in this story as it was in Bear Stearns and Lehman."
Shares of Mitsubishi UFJ fell 8.5 percent to 710 yen, in line with a 9 percent drop in Tokyo's index of bank stocks.

AFT - IPL treatments for Acne Scars
Hi Roddern,
Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with your skin. Living with acne scarring is not something you have to put up with thanks to the advancement of aesthetic lasers that are equipped to treat a wide variety of skin conditions.
At our clinic we often recommend a series of AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) laser treatments for acne scarring as a starting point, it all depends on the patients current skin condition. AFT is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser technology targets the surface of the skin where prior acne has made the surface uneven and improves the texture, tone, and appearance of skin with minimal downtime.
A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or a dermatologist would be the first step in treating your scars!
Watch the attached link for more info.
Improving acne and scars
To expect flawless skin is not realistic. We can improve things tremendously thought. A good skincare regime that includes Retin A and chemical peels is a good start. If there are persistent scars, I prefer to use the Infini, particularly with your skin type. Other options include:PRP, laser resurfacing, and possibly Bellafill.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2310) Reduce Fieldable, AbstractField and Field complexity
|Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:38:27 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2310?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12845939#action_12845939 ] Chris Male commented on LUCENE-2310: ------------------------------------ {quote} So overall we agree on the changes that need to be made. BTW, when you deprecate a method, you usually change it to call the new API or change it to use the new data structures or whatever. So we need to think how to impl getFields such that if one calls remove, numFields or use the iterator on an interleving manner, his code doesn't break ... I don't think it should be hard but it might be a good idea to even write such (deprecated) unit test {quote} I'm not sure we have to change getFields. We can just deprecate it, and point people to the new methods. I think it'd be more effort than its worth to create a List impl that calls the new methods. Was that what you were implying? I do agree its worth writing a test to ensure all old functionality can be done via the new methods somehow. > Reduce Fieldable, AbstractField and Field complexity > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2310 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2310 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Index > Reporter: Chris Male > Attachments: LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch > > > In order to move field type like functionality into its own class, we really need to try to tackle the hierarchy of Fieldable, AbstractField and Field. Currently AbstractField depends on Field, and does not provide much more functionality that storing fields, most of which are being moved over to FieldType. Therefore it seems ideal to try to deprecate AbstractField (and possible Fieldable), moving much of the functionality into Field and FieldType. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

When pirates commandeer Javier's starship, they give him a choice: corpse, slave, or volunteer.
Javier chooses to survive as well as keep his honor and his sanity intact.
However, when things get rough, will he save the pirates from someone even worse?

"Good Short Story"
I rarely purchase audiobooks under 7 hours, mainly because I like to have the time to get into a story, but I'm glad I decided to get this one.
The story focuses around an officer who mans a deep space survey vessel. He has outfitted the ship with botany labs for growing his own food, has a chicken coop, and has programed an advanced ship AI who is his only real company. When his ship is attacked by pirates, he must copy the AI and hide her so that the pirates can't use the small military ship for themselves. The pirates end up cutting the ship into pieces to make the most profit from it, taking key components like the botany labs, engines, and sensors. Rather than be sold into slavery, the main character agrees to become an unpaid member of the pirate ship's crew for several years (and work off the amount they would make by selling him). His expertise in science and engineering makes him a valuable asset to the pirates and he becomes the ship's official Science Officer.
Throughout the rest of the story, the character is conflicted about his decision to work for the pirates, and gradually makes plans for his future escape.
When on an away mission he must make a decision of whether to save the lives of some of the pirates, thereby upholding his morals and earning their trust, or letting them die and get what's probably coming to them while increasing his chance of escape.
I thought this was a well thought out short story. I was pleased to find there is actually a sequel to the story, which I now intend to listen to as well.
"Interesting ideas but falls short on execution"
This story is chock full of good ideas. However the writing and dialog let the story down. Narrator has a one note voice that rolls along far too slowly.
"Great lead character"
The main character is complex and well written, and doesn't hold with a lot of the sci fi cliches. Very good story.
"False falsetto"
The narrator was good except for his attempt at a female voice, his baritone is amazing but he needs so practice in falsetto.
"Abysmal Narration"
I don't normally buy short books like this one, but I figured at half price to take a chance. I'm sorry I did. I listened to the first ten minutes and couldn't go any farther. The extra pauses Mr. Weight places in sentences is distracting, but not quite as much as his inflection on odd words. I honestly cannot judge the story itself because I found the audio unlistenable.
"Well written but incomplete"
I really started to like the Character but it felt like this was just part of the book.
As a short only.

Google Chromebook Pixel rebooted with USB-C
Google has revamped the Chromebook Pixel, its flagship Chrome OS notebook, though while the new 2015 Pixel is more affordable than its painfully expensive predecessor, it's still not cheap. The new Pixel runs Chrome OS on a 12.85-inch, 2560 x 1700 touchscreen, with either Core i5 or i7 processors inside, though unlike the first-gen version there's no integrated LTE option. Meanwhile, just as with Apple's new MacBook, the new Chromebook Pixel uses USB-C.

Meet Chaka Cumberbatch, also known as Princess Mentality Cosplay. She is an insanely talented and prolific cosplayer who has tackled characters from Codex to Storm to Captain America to Zatanna. Back in 2010 she commissioned a Sailor Venus costume and put in tons of work to find the right wig and fashion the accessories. She did an amazing job but soon after wearing the costume to A-Kon 21, a photo of her in the outfit circulated online and was met with incredible backlash. Racist backlash.
While at the Sailor Moon shoot, I chatted up and befriended a photographer who took the now infamous picture of me that would eventually go on to accompany numerous blog and forum posts arguing about whether or not black people should cosplay outside of their race.
Say what?
Part of cosplay is about fantasy. I'm never going to be a blonde in real life, but I can don a wig with my Amethyst costume and pretend for a while. Additionally, many comic book and video game characters are drawn with such wacky proportions that it's damn near impossible for any human person to be an exact match. People should cosplay as whoever they want. Period.
I'm astounded at the level of idiocy people have displayed in response to Chaka's costumes. She wrote at xoJane about some comments she has seen:
"For a black cosplayer (not to be racist) she did an amazing job!" the original Tumblr post read. It was later was edited to include "I love her skin tone" after all hell broke loose.
What kills me is that in person, nobody has the balls to say a word about whether or not they think darker-skinned people should cosplay lighter skinned characters — but online is a completely different animal. Online, I was "Ni—- Venus," and "Sailor Venus Williams" because I am black.
People accused her of ruining characters by cosplaying them and as you can see, much worse. She's even seen cosplayers give others a hard time for something as minor as dressing like Wonder Woman with the wrong hairstyle. I recommend reading her article and responding by spreading positive messages to cosplayers.
Check out a few of her amazing costumes below.
