text: Pretty much what my subject says. I was burning backups with a sony and it was burning at what it should, like 4x was about 24 minuts and 2.4 was a little over 40. Now with this Pioneer I got yesterday, when I burn at 4x it takes an hour and a half!! No exaggerating either! Does anybody know why that could be, and what I can do to change that? Please help! In the time it takes to burn them I could do 4 or 5 with my old burner!

Compare and contrast the presentation of war and combat in "Sohrab and Rustum" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade".
Extracts from this document...
Poetry Compare and contrast the presentation of war and combat in "Sohrab and Rustum" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (900-1500 words). Both "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and "Sohrab and Rustum" are poems which dwell mainly on heroism and present the ideas of war and combat in a false light. Although "The Charge of the Light Brigade" does portray suffering and injuries, it does not dwell on them as it was written in the 1800s and in this period of time, one could not criticise war or the government or serious action would be taken. "Sohrab and Rustum" presents combat and war as magnificent and fantastic but rebels against father and son or family members fighting. "Sohrab and Rustum" was also written in the 1800s, more specifically in the 1830s; during this day and age, combat and fighting was seen as a manly 'activity' that was not frowned upon. ...read more.
As soon as the combatants clash "a cloud grew suddenly in Heaven, and dark'd the sun over the fighters' heads; and a wind rose under their feet". It is very artificial and cartoony, the contrast is so strong that the fighters are "alone", in darkness, stormy weather, and "gloom", whereas "the on-looking hosts on either hand stood in broad daylight, and the sky was pure, and the sun sparkled on the Oxus stream". The word "gloom" is repeated several times throughout the poem, but only in the parts where the combat is described, as they are detached from everything else around them and it represents the consistent negative atmosphere. Then, toward the closing of the poem, the weather changes again as the victor stood "safe upon his feet" the "sun broke forth, and melted the cloud". "Sohrab and Rustum" is also a poem that does not dwell on the suffering and pain in the fighters, it implies that they do not feel any pain ...read more.
"The Charge of the Light Brigade" is a very different poem. It is one, which does not dwell on injuries, casualties, and failures not because it does not want to, but because the poet couldn't write such things. Although the poet has included subtle yet noticeable criticisms toward generals and war in general, the readers of that day did not realise that what Tennyson was saying was criticism as he wrote in a very clever way, which made every sentence seem like it had a double meaning and could be interpreted in two ways. Alfred Tennyson wrote like other war poets who wrote in the 20th century. Although he did not have as much freedom of speech as they did, he still conveyed his feelings and attitudes to war in a very sophisticated manner. He, also like 20th century war poets, criticised the high-ranking officers and praised the soldiers for obeying orders and doing what they were told to do, whether right or wrong. Khalid Attia English Coursework ...read more.

text: PORTSMOUTH, Va. - Naval ordnance experts removed a grenade that was found by sanitation workers in the curbside trash of a home, officials said Monday. The Portsmouth Fire Department was called Friday after the grenade fell out of a trash can that was being emptied into a sanitation truck. People were cleared from the area as the ordnance unit removed the grenade and searched for other explosives. The grenade may have been discarded with items being thrown away by residents of a home, neighbors said. The grenade, with its pin intact, was taken away for later disposal.

Lightlife Goes Vegan
The longtime vegetarian brand is set to transition all of its products to be vegan by the end of 2017.
Vegetarian brand Lightlife will remove all animal products from its line by the end of 2017. While most of its products are currently vegan, Lightlife has received criticism from loyal brand advocates for its use of egg whites in some of its recipes, which were introduced in the early 2000s by previous ownership of the company to "improve the taste and texture" of some of the brand's products—such as its chick'n and sausage lines. The removal of all animal products has been in the works since the brand became independently owned in 2013. "We're in the final stages of transitioning our entire portfolio to 100 percent animal-free by adhering to Vegan Action standards," Lightlife's marketing director Brad Lahrman told VegNews. "It has been a lengthy process to remove egg whites from a handful of items without changing the taste profile, but we are very close." Being accessible to consumers of all diets is important to the brand, Lahrman said, adding, "Animals or animal byproducts simply aren't needed to create delicious, healthy, protein-rich food." Additionally, all of the company's products are now non-GMO Project Verified. Canadian meat company Maple Leaf Foods acquired Lightlife for $140 million in February in an effort to capture a segment of the growing plant-based industry. VegNews awarded Lightlife a Top Ten Best of Show award for its vegan Veggie Sausage Ravioli during trade convention Expo West last week.

RENNWERKSTATT @ Carrera's 4 Christmas - 2016-12-04
Today we were invited to Lisa Taylor's and Tom Rindings' bi-annual Christmas party at the 'Flying L Ranch'.

RENNWERKSTATT USA @ Rennsport Reunion 5
Honestly, we were a bit nervous about our first appearance of RENNWERKSTATT USA. The preparation time to get everything ready for RR5 was very tight and we didn't know what to expect. A big thank you goes to Heiko Hermes from Scuderia Eleven who shared the vendor space with us and gave us a hand wherever needed. Unfortunately, Michael Hack, original founder of RENNWERKSTATT in Germany wasn't able to join, but we kept him informed almost on an hourly base - even with 9 hour time difference to Germany...

Comic Book Review: Magnus #3
One would think that Robot Hunter would be an awesome title to hold, but not for the holder of this title apparently. There had to be a reason that Magnus would hesitate taking on this job in capture the rogue AI, and all it took was them showing that she isn't very welcome in their world. Tough, but this is what the story needed for there to be some urgency in catching this AI. Especially when the death of those employers was only the start of a bigger plot.
At the start of this story you would have assumed the direction this would go was Magnus being this reformed bounty hunter fighting for the AIs and what not. However, it is for the best that this wasn't the case. There's more to invest in knowing that there is a bigger picture to this story. You want to fight for the rights of AIs, but you also don't want that to include something that will in turn take the lives of many innocent humans in the process. Well we don't know exactly who this bomb is for, but we do know that there is a better way to get what you want than mass slaughter. The involvement of the detectives pushes that urgency where we are keeping one foot on real world activity as we move forward. They clearly serve humanity, but they aren't biased to think all AI are evil or dangerous. Everyone here has a motivation for what they do and that is a recipe for tension that you can cut with a knife.
It was also a good point to make in this issue that despite this being a conflict of humans and AI, you can't discount the problem of humans in general. They can still be a problem for themselves which you should never overlook for the sake of concept.
When it comes to Magnus taking this bounty a bit more serious, this was a good time to grasp just what she is capable of when she gets into that role of the bounty hunter. One of those cases where you have to show and not just tell. This of course includes the people she runs into who she has a past with. The last person was definitely someone who took her on the guilt train, but this guy definitely made you question what life was like for her before. That and how far she is willing to go in order to make sure that a war doesn't break loose.
With the plot ongoing, getting hints of Magnus' origins here and there was fitting. It didn't feel out-of-place or distracting. While we don't know exactly why she has this uncanny ability to stay in the Cloud World as long as she pleases, we know that this wasn't a development that came out of the blue. There's more to her story and it keeps interest for us to get a little bit as we progress.
Each passing issue for Magnus the artwork has been a step forward in quality. It was all about getting that foundation for this world and characters, then building up from there. There's something each time to take from these trips back to the Cloud World. I love that things are never the same whenever Magnus travels somewhere new. That first scene was interesting because you couldn't tell if you were in the Cloud World or the real world. The faded effect to the characters made it obvious with that said, but the setting was natural enough to question. Other places grab your attention because they looked grounded, yet all it took was looking at the skies above to remember just where you were. The colors of the sky and background are beautiful with the green, yellow and blue gradients. They used colors which made you think digital before anything else. This includes that digital effect they added at the end to capture the perimeter of the Cloud World. All that aside, the part with the detectives was cool for the pulp like style the story took on visually through the use of dark colors and blacks. It properly set the mood for something grim to happen.
Magnus #3 takes us a good fair bit deeper into this unfolding plot, while giving us much more to go on about this Magnus. Taking on this case made it inevitable for her to have to confront her past, demons and old acquaintances. Things can only get worse before they get better when the enemy is pretty much steps ahead.

United States District Court, N.D. Illinois, Eastern Division
December 5, 2016
SCHARMAINE DAVIS, on behalf of herself, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff,v.VANGUARD HOME CARE, LLC, VHS OF ILLINOIS, INC., and VANGUARD HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., Defendants.
B. Gottschall United States District Judge
bring this wage-and-hour dispute as a putative collective
action under the Fair Labor Standards Act
("FSLA"), see 29 U.S.C. § 216(b),
and as a class action under the Illinois Minimum Wage law,
820 I.L.C.S. § 105/1 et seq. Before the court is
Plaintiffs' motion to equitably toll the statute of
limitations on the FLSA claims of all putative members of the
proposed class of opt-in plaintiffs. (ECF No. 42 at 4.)
Because Plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification
of an FLSA collective action has not been decided, the court
denies Plaintiffs' request without prejudice as unripe.
The court, however, grants Plaintiffs' leave to file
their amended complaint.
Procedural Background
commenced this action by filing her complaint on July 15,
2016. Eleven additional Plaintiffs have opted in. (ECF Nos.
6, 7, 18, 19, 41.)
parties filed several interdependent motions in August and
September 2016. Before Defendants answered the complaint,
Plaintiffs moved for conditional certification of a
collective action on August 23, 2016. (ECF No. 22.) The court
set an initial briefing schedule on the motion for
conditional certification (ECF No. 29 at 1), and Defendants
filed a motion to compel arbitration on the same day (ECF No.
30). On September 13, 2016, Defendants moved to stay briefing
on the motion for conditional certification pending
resolution of their motion to compel. (ECF No. 34.) Two days
later, Plaintiff moved for leave to file an amended
complaint. (ECF No. 37.)
At a
hearing held September 16, 2016, the court granted
Defendants' motion to stay briefing on the motion for
conditional certification. (ECF No. 40 at 1.) It set a
briefing schedule on the motion to compel and on the motion
for equitable tolling "[i]n light of the court's
ruling on defendants' motion to stay."
(Id.) Finally, the court entered and continued the
motion for leave to file an amended complaint "pending
resolution of" Defendants' motion to compel.
motion to compel was denied on November 22, 2016. (ECF No. 54
at 9.) Among other things, the court opined that the timing
of Plaintiff's motion for leave to amend her complaint
was "puzzling" because, as Defendants pointed
out, she had the right to amend it once as a matter of course
within 21 days after service of Defendant's motion to
compel. Id. at 8; see also Fed. R. Civ. P.
15(a)(1)(B). Without seeking leave of court, Plaintiffs filed
their amended complaint on November 23, 2016.
Plaintiffs' Request for Equitable Tolling is
ask the court to equitably toll the limitations period for
all potential class members. According to Plaintiffs,
"the time it takes for the parties' [sic] to brief
- and for the Court to consider and rule on - the Motion to
Dismiss will likely be considerable, " and the time
lost will harm members of the potential opt-in class.
Defendants respond that Plaintiffs' request to equitably
toll the potential class members' FLSA claims is unripe
because the court may never certify a collective action and,
even if it does, the court cannot assess the diligence of a
plaintiff who has not opted into this suit or explore the
circumstances that stood in the potential plaintiff's
way. At least one district court in the Seventh Circuit has
adopted Defendants' view. Miller-Basinger v. Magnolia
Health Sys., Inc., No. 2:15-CV-00089-WTL-DKL, 2016 WL
773191, at *2 (S.D. Ind. Feb. 22, 2016) (citing United
States v. Cook, 795 F.2d 987, 994 (Fed. Cir. 1986)). And
another has invoked Article III and raised similar concerns
when denying equitable tolling. See Soto v. Wings
'R Us Romeoville, Inc., No. 15-CV-10127, 2016 WL
4701444, at *11-12. On the other hand, at least one judge in
this district has found an excessive delay in ruling on a
motion for conditional certification to be an extraordinary
circumstance justifying equitable tolling during the pendency
of the motion. Bergman v. Kindred Healthcare, Inc.,
949 F.Supp.2d 852, 855-56 (N.D. Ill. 2013) (collecting
cases). The court need not go as far as holding that
equitable tolling claims on a class-wide basis are always
unripe before a plaintiff opts in, but it does find that
Plaintiffs' request for equitable tolling is unripe given
the posture of this case.
FLSA allows employees who are "similarly
situated" to pursue their claims in a collective
action. 29 U.S.C. § 216(b) (West 2016). By default, a
two-year limitations period applies to FLSA claims, but the
period lasts three years if an employer willfully violates
the FLSA. 29 U.S.C. § 255(a) (West 2016). An FLSA claim
"accrues at each regular payday immediately following
the work period during which the services were rendered for
which the wage or overtime compensation is claimed."
Cortez v. Medina's Landscaping, No. 00 C 6320,
2002 WL 31175471, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 30, 2002) (quoting
Halferty v. Pulse Drug Co., 821 F.2d 261, 271 (5th
Cir. 1987)). Unlike in a Rule 23 class action, conditional
certification of an FLSA collective action "does not .
. . join additional parties to the action." Genesis
Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, 133 S.Ct. 1523, 1530
(2013). Conditional certification generally allows notice to
be sent to potential class members, but they "become
parties . . . only by filing written consent with the
court." Id. (citing § 216(b));
accord. Alvarez v. City of Chi., 605 F.3d 445, 448
(7th Cir. 2010). As a result, the statute of limitations
continues to run on potential class members until they opt
into the lawsuit. See 29 U.S.C. § 256(b);
Soto, 2016 WL 4701444, at *10.
litigant is entitled to equitable tolling of a statute of
limitations only if the litigant establishes two elements:
(1) that he has been pursuing his rights diligently, and (2)
that some extraordinary circumstance stood in his way and
prevented timely filing." Soto, 2016 WL
4701444, at *10 (quoting Knauf Insulation, Inc. v. S.
Brands, Inc., 820 F.3d 904, 908 (7th Cir. 2016))
(alteration in original). To satisfy the second prong, the
circumstances causing the litigant's delay must be
"both extraordinary and beyond its
control." Menominee Indian Tribe of Wis. v. United
States, 136 S.Ct. 750, 756 (2016).
claim that Plaintiffs' request for equitable tolling is,
in effect, unripe and that the court would issue an improper
advisory opinion if it were to decide it. The doctrines of
standing and ripeness find their roots in Article III's
limitation of the judicial power of the United States of
federal courts to "cases" and
"controversies, " U.S. Const. art. III, § 2.
Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus, 134 S.Ct. 2334,
2341 n.5 (2014) (citing DaimlerChrysler Corp. v.
Cuno, 547 U.S. 332, 335 (2006)); see Genesis
Healthcare, 133 S.Ct. at 1528 ("This requirement
ensures that the Federal Judiciary confines itself to its
constitutionally limited role of adjudicating actual and
concrete disputes, the resolutions of which have direct
consequences on the parties involved."). A claim raises
ripeness concerns "when [it] involves uncertain or
contingent events that may not occur as anticipated, or not
occur at all." Wis. Right to Life State Political
Action Committee v. Barland, 664 F.3d 139, 148(7th Cir.
2011) (citations omitted). Because the ripeness doctrine is
also designed to address prudential concerns, the analysis
entails consideration of "'the fitness of the
issues for judicial decision' and 'the hardship to
the parties of withholding court consideration.'"
Id. (quoting Pac. Gas & Elec. Co. v. State
Energy Res. Conservation & Dev. Comm'n, 461 U.S.
190, 201 (1983)).
precertification request for equitable tolling of the
potential opt-in class members' FLSA claims implicates
too many contingencies to be ripe. For one thing, the court
may not conditionally certify the opt-in class at all, or the
court may choose to define the class differently than
Plaintiffs propose. "A district court has wide
discretion to manage collective actions[, ]" including
the power, and in some cases the duty, to split the proposed
class into subclasses when appropriate. Alvarez, 605
F.3d at 449 (citing Hoffmann-La Roche v. Sperling,
493 U.S. 165, 171 (1989)) (holding district court should have
considered whether common questions predominated in
subclasses of collective action); see, e.g., Hawkins v.
Alorica, Inc., 287 F.R.D. 431, 439-43 (S. D. Ind. 2012)
(granting partial conditional certification of class and
revising class definition). Also, Defendants have yet to
answer the complaint, so the possibility of their pleading a
limitations defense at all remains, at least to some extent,
conjectural. See Braddock v. Madison Cnty., 34
F.Supp.2d 1098, 1112 (S.D. Ind. 1998) ("The statute of
limitations remains an affirmative defense that must be
pleaded in an answer and a defendant can waive the defense by
failing to plead it."). Finally, even if one or more
classes is conditionally certified, whether anyone else will
opt in remains to be seen. If no one does, any decision on
equitable tolling would turn out to have been an advisory
opinion. See People of State of Ill. ex rel. Barra v.
Archer Daniels Midland Co., 704 F.2d 935, 950-51 (7th
Cir. 1983) (holding that case called for advisory opinion
where the plaintiff "wanted to know what would happen
if he brought a criminal case and Archer Daniels Midland
raised a defense of federal preemption. But a criminal case
might never reach the point where such a defense had to be
adjudicated."). As for the hardship to the parties of
withholding a decision, any potential class member remains
free to opt into this action before the court makes a
decision on conditional certification. See 29 §
it does not necessarily follow from the conclusion that the
instant dispute is unripe that an Article III court can never
address equitable tolling questions on a class-wide basis. A
plaintiff has standing to assert the rights of third parties
in limited circumstances, as when "(1) the plaintiff
has suffered an 'injury in fact;' (2) the plaintiff
has a 'close relationship' to the injured third
party; and (3) there was some hindrance to the third parties
in asserting their own rights." Ind. Democratic
Party v. Rokita, 458 F.Supp.2d 775, 810 (S.D. Ind. 2006)
(citing Campbell v. Louisiana, 523 U.S. 392, 397
(1998)). Some equitable tolling issues may, at least in
theory, be common to the similarly situated employees in a
class. See id. (performing third-party standing
analysis on three groups of similarly situated plaintiffs
"because the issues are uniformly applicable as to each
group"). FLSA affirmative defenses can, and sometimes
do, present questions capable of class-wide determination.
Compare, e.g., Jirak v. Abbott Labs., Inc., 566
F.Supp.2d 845, 849-50 (N.D. Ill. 2008) (holding that
affirmative defense of FLSA exemption presented sufficiently
common questions to warrant conditional certification),
with Mielke v. Laidlaw Transit, Inc., 313 F.Supp.2d
759, 763 (N.D. Ill. 2004) (holding that affirmative defense
involved fact-specific inquiries unique to each plaintiff).
The parties suggest no reason why questions raised by a
limitations defense would be categorically incapable of
class-wide resolution. On the contrary, in the cases cited by
the plaintiffs here, the court recognized that it had the
power to equitably toll the limitations period class-wide
after certification based on the unusual length of time taken
to adjudicate a conditional certification motion. See,
e.g., Bergman, 949 F.Supp.2d at 860-61 (collecting
cases); Perez v. Comcast, No. 10 C 1127, 2011 WL
5979769, at *2-3 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 29, 2011) (discussing
additional cases and deciding not to toll statute of
limitations equitably because the plaintiffs did not show an
extraordinary delay in conditionally certifying action).
Other courts have found it appropriate to toll the
limitations period because the employer did not post the
notices required by the FLSA. See Perez, 2011 WL
5979769, at *3 (collecting cases). Those decisions have been
criticized as inconsistent with Congress' expressed
intent in the FLSA, see § 256(b), to continue
running the limitations period until an employee files a
written consent opting into the action. See Soto,
2016 WL 4701444, at *11 (discussing and citing Sylvester
v. Wintrust Fin. Corp., No. 12 C 01899, 2014 WL

OK, to be technical, I 'will' be watching the Superbowl just as soon as I'm done this post...no rush or anything.
And like millions of people, I enjoy the game but LOVE the commercials (thanks goes out to @tonyrobbins and his tweet today). Tomorrow morning, we will all gather around at our respective offices or in our social media worlds (or tweeting about it right this second like @garyvee!) critiquing the creative investments that are the annual Superbowl ads.
|Cost for a 30 second commercial during the Superbowl
When I bring this up to my students, or cab drivers, or random strangers waiting in the bank machine line up, the comments quickly shift to the ridiculous amount of money spend on advertising. Who in their right mind would spend $83,000+ per second on one commercial. There is no possible way to get your return on investment!
Hold the phone. Let's do the math here. Sure, it costs $83,000+ per second, but this also translates into $0.03 per customer view per commercial, or $0.001 per second of viewing time. It's the Superbowl - people will pee through the game and miss a play before they miss a commercial. (How many of us still kick ourselves for blinking during Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction?)
It is estimated that over 90 million people will be tuned into the Superbowl at any given moment; not watching the games, but TUNED in at any given moment. There is no other time of year in which one advertisement can gain such incredible buzz. Just ask Reebok's 2003 commercial with Terry Tate or Snicker's 2009 advertisement with Betty White (and Abe Vigoda!) On YouTube alone, they have been viewed 8,296,444 and 3,072,625 times respectively, after the Superbowl was over.
So, for all of you watching the game tonight, grab some chips and a cold beverage, root for your favourite team, and remember that we are part of an annual tradition which transcends a simple match up between two massive forces on the gridiron. We are at THE buzz moment for the advertisement world tonight.
Let the elite entertain us for one night =)

Well, it's Star Wars Day (part 2) and we're still a Harry Potter blog, a bit a dilemma especially since I love Star Wars. In the end, I was able to come up with this post, which is more Star Wars than the Wizarding World but I figured you guys wouldn' t have too much of a problem. So I'm proud to present the parallels in the biggest pop culture franchises.
1. Lack of Faith
Both Star Wars and Harry Potter had to overcome a number of doubters, that it would seem impossible for them to ever become a hit. Steven Spielberg was the only person who had complete confidence in Star Wars: A New Hope. Bloomsbury and J.K. Rowling were among Harry Potter's only fans at the beginning. Star Wars: A New Hope was predicted to be such a flop that the director himself, George Lucas, skipped the premiere and went on vacation in Hawaii. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was rejected by 7 different publishing companies before Bloomsbury gave it a chance. The moral of the story? Don't give up.
2. Hero's Sanity is Questionable at Best…
In both franchises, the hero's kind is regarded as strange or peculiar, anything but normal. Their powers are typically the cause for this perception. Wizards and witches were often persecuted by Muggles because of their wickedness. Jedi had it much easier, everyone just believed they worshiped some crazy religion, before the end of the Republic, however, they were quite well-respected. Sanity had nothing to do with their powers, instead, their powers were a gift bestowed upon them. Both requiring them to go train away from those considered "normal".
3. The Golden Trio
The Golden Trio, to whom their universe/world is forever indebted to. They are pretty much the same people, just different worlds (and age). Watch:
The Hero (Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker): A bit new to the saving the world business but eventually gets the hang of it
The Reliable Best Friend (Ron Weasley and Han Solo): Will seem unreliable, but he will be loyal to the very end
The Intelligent Female Best Friend: Her brains have saved their lives on more than one occasion. Temper is usually set off by the Reliable Best Friend, who just so happens to hold a very special place in her heart (even though they are an independent woman who'd be perfectly fine without them).
4. Mysterious Power/Energy
In both Harry Potter and Star Wars there is a mysterious power/energy which the hero must master in order to bring peace to their respective universe. Both are considered the most powerful energy in their respective world, and actually mastering it is quite difficult. Love, in Harry Potter, may seem easily achieved and mastered but the acceptance that this is powerful makes it so difficult. It's even worse for Harry who has never received any real love until he met Hagrid (If you want more on love click here). Luke, on the other hand, has to master a mysterious energy which binds everything together, which would be a lot easier if he could've trained at a Jedi Temple and started when he was much younger. Had most of the Jedi not been massacred by the Empire he could've received proper training, instead, he has to learn from teachers who die shortly after he meets them.
The littles! I don't know any other way to group them but I just had to! Ewoks and House Elves are so amazing and are often underestimated for one reason or another. They are very capable on their own have each helped turn the tide of the most important battle of their respective worlds (technically moon for the Ewoks). Ewoks and House Elves are definitely one of the best (not so similar) similarity on this list.
Anywho that's about it for the Revenge of the Fifth, I'm really sad that I wasn't able to do this on May the Fourth (be with you). Happy Cinco de Mayo for any of you who celebrate that! Like/comment if you liked it and subscribe if you loved it (cuz I'm fairly short on followers 😜)!

As you may know from previous posts, Mike and I have decided to pursue adoption and/or foster care given our battle with infertility. And please don't take our decision as a surrender of our dream to one day have our own children naturally - it's just we want a family and we're ready to pursue different paths to reach that destination.
We completed the county's foster care training about a month ago and fully expected to get a placement phone call the next day. When that didn't happen, I expected the call within a week. Yet week merged into week and we never received a call. I contacted our social worker who assured us that she hadn't forgotten us, but that the number of children coming into the system had slowed down so it might be awhile before we get a placement call.
This was a blow to us since we had heard so much about the need for foster parents leading up to our training that we never thought there would be a waiting period. I even told Mike, "I wonder if God has a plan bigger than what we see, and maybe there's a reason we've not gotten a call yet."
Not even 2 days after our conversation, I received word from one of our new international workers that her sister was 4 months pregnant with a boy and she was looking for an adoptive family. Actually, the sister wanted our worker and her family to take the baby - but extenuating circumstances may make that difficult. The worker told my boss to pass a message to me that if I were interested in at least contacting her sister to ask about adoption that I should send her an email - which I did that night. She then passed along my message to her sister. And now we wait. I know there are a thousand things that could cause this opportunity to slip away, and I must learn to be patient and trust God. But I can't help but dream of boy names, picture a nursery, or imagine life as a mom. It's been nearly a week since the mother received my email, so I'm hoping that at least by the end of the week I'll know whether she's even interested.
Two things make this situation cool:
1. I have been praying about whether to move to another job for months now. BUT if God had listened to me then I never would have made this connection.
2. Mike and I already are certified for adoption (because of our foster care classes) so if the mom decides to choose us, we already are 5 steps ahead of the game.
3. my mom works in a law firm, so she has easy access to adoption laws in each state. AND one of her lawyers is from the home state of the mother, so the lawyer could maybe recommend someone to help us.
But, before I get ahead of myself, let me close by saying that our earnest prayer is for God's will to be done, and for this child to find the best, most loving family for him - even if it isn't us.

Ah yes, the requisite 'it's-all-so-hopeless-so-we-should-give-up-and-eat-worms' post.
Look- Its going to take some time to turn California around as our legislature has ignored the memo that the second amendment affirms an individual right to keep and bear arms. (and it only took about 70 years to get SCOTUS to get that memo out.)
New gun restrictions are not the end of the world but looking at the legislation, particularly AB2182 gives you a little insight to the wackado motives to gun control. Specifically AB2182 was introduced as a political attack on ONE person. It was withdrawn because it usurped due process in assuming guilt when no intent to commit a crime was present.
The addition of long arms to Portantino's law emphasizes the necessity of re-evaluating the 116 exemptions to the law- changing the kind of firearms will do nothing to erase the exemptions that provide enough loopholes for everyone to carry.

Hi there,
I'm using Pinnacle Plus V 11.01 (I believe). I have completed a number of projects, and burnt a number of them to disc. Some have turned out fine, but I have 2 different problems with multiple discs:
1 - Music skipping - seems to be mainly during transitions - and also limited to certain bands as crazy as that seems? When I play within Pinnacle, it's playing fine, seems to be when actually written - have tried various quality media, doesn't seem to make any difference - do you think this is burner related?
2 - High speed playback - When playing on dvd, plays in high speed - I've had the same project, burnt to 2 discs of same type, one plays high speed on dvd player, other plays normally - again, don't know if this is actually Pinnacle related or dvd player related (dvd-r) so any thoughts or comments appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

SANFORD — Two employees of Seminole County's animal control department have accused supervisors of abusing and neglecting animals in their care -- sometimes causing deaths.
The charges came as both employees fought disciplinary action against them. One worker was fired and the other is appealing a suspension. Both were accused of misconduct and insubordination.

|May we be filled with gratitude for the right of choice, accept the responsibility of choice, and ever be conscious of the results of choice.
This is our double oven setup :) We have baked brownies, muffins, cookies, burrito's, and lasagna in that little oven.
They don't always come out looking great but they taste pretty good. The 3 tower setup is our water filter, it is hooked up to the faucet so we have clean and safe water to drink.
This is our only shelf that holds a one burner stove. Sister Tiffany has learned the art of keeping food warm as she prepares a meal. We use the large frying pan when cooking for our big eater Elders and for making pancakes. The smaller one we use for other meals, usually pasta or stir fry. We do have a toaster but we don't use it because it is messy with crumbs and Sister Tiffany doesn't like to feed the bugs. We did purchase a blender for morning smoothies and icy cold lemonade drinks on a hot day... The plastic box underneath is for our pans, bowls and cooking utensils.
You need a plastic container that seals pretty good to keep things clean. Oh, living in the tropics has its challenges!
This is our entire kitchen > we have no cupboards. We purchased that small plastic shelf for our dishes. We do have a nice water cooler dispenser for after we filter our water of course. See that huge fridge, anyone that know us knows how full our fridge is at home, well that little one is stuffed to the gills but we have learned condensing. The rules when eating at Elder and Sister Tiffany's house are; make a mess, clean it up and NO left overs... The pictures on the side of the fridge are of the Elders, it is a calendar with other pictures on it. We couldn't see why we wanted strangers on our fridge when we could have the boys we love so much on it.
This is a different view from the kitchen looking over to our bedroom. That bookshelf is where we keep our books and pictures of our Family. We could use a lot more pictures - hint. Yup that's the tour of luxury living here in the tropics. One room, one bath, one burner and a lot of love...

In his novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque shared his experience from the war. Some of his experiences included fighting on the battle front, seeing his friends die, and being in the trenches
Extracts from this document...
Tyler Wiles October 25, 2012 Schulte Period 1 The Meaninglessness of War Fearful, bloody, psychological death, depression, pain, agony, and suffering all describe warfare. In history, trench warfare had been seen in what is known as the Great War. World War I, as people refer to it today, went on from 1914 to 1918 while changing the political landscape of Europe. World War I brought new weapons such as cannons and machine guns into play as well as a different style of fighting known as trench warfare. By bringing this new style of war along the style also brought more blood, gruesomeness, and death. The style of warfare also would have psychological effects on the soldiers. One of the World War I survivors, Erich Maria Remarque, wrote about his take on World War I. In his novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque shared his experience from the war. Some of his experiences included fighting on the battle front, seeing his friends die, and being in the trenches. In the novel Remarque presented the meaninglessness of the war by using irony, symbolism, and conflict. To begin, Remarque illustrates instances of irony, throughout the novel, to describe the meaninglessness of the war. ...read more.
The horses dying on the front symbolize helplessness and innocence; ?It is the moaning of the world, it is the martyred creation, wild with anguish, filled with terror, and groaning? (62). This relates to the horses as well as the soldiers, because they are just innocent men that are being dragged in to this war to fight. Next, in the novel there are cherry blossoms that are brought up during a conversation between Detering and Paul. Detering says, ?I have a big orchard with cherry trees at home. When they are in blossom, from the hay loft they look like one single sheet, so white. It is just the time? (276). The cherry blossoms symbolize freeness from the war. Detering wants to go back home to his wife and wants to live his life and not waste it fighting for basically nothing. In addition to the cherry blossoms, Kemmerich?s medical scene acts as a symbol. In the beginning of the novel Kemmerich is in the hospital after having his leg amputated. Kemmerich gets weaker and weaker while he is in the hospital. When his time comes to die there are no doctors that will help him. ...read more.
Finally the last conflict Paul experiences is internal. He needs to figure out if war is worth the agony, suffering, and pain that the soldiers go through. He says, ?Just as we turn into animals when we go up to the line... so we turn into wags and loafers when we are resting...We want to live at any price; so we cannot burden ourselves with feelings which, though they may be ornamental enough in peacetime, would be out of place here? (138-139). Paul concludes that it is not worth it. Finally, that is how the author, Remarque, conveys the ideas of war though internal and external conflict in the novel. Ultimately, Remarque proves that war is meaningless by using irony, symbols, and conflict. Remarque describes the meaninglessness of war and the pain and suffering that goes along with it. The author describes what he endures in the war, such as his close friends dying, his experiences battling in the trenches and also how he viewed war, which put him through pain, agony, and suffering. In conclusion, Remarque is setting an example of what war really is that war is not a beautiful thing, it is not great to die for your country, and war is pointless. ...read more.

Oh Capcom, how far you have fallen? I started the series with RE4 and loved it. I even went back and played the original game and enjoyed that as well. Sure both RE and RE4 are completely different in terms of what they are, but then this game happened.
At no point in this game was I afraid. In fact, you can see most of what is supposed to be scary early due to Sheva being immensely overpowered. For a while, I gave her the stunrod and nothing else. I had so much ammo, I didn't know what to do.
Now, the series has lost the survival horror aspect from the first game, but how does this stack against RE4 in terms of being a 3rd-person action/shooter. It's almost on par but lacks in the uninspired and often frustrating boss fights. It just kind of falls flat on the radar compared to the spike that was RE4.
Sure, there is fun to be had in this game. It sets up a nice story about what happened after Umbrella's demise but parts of it were just clunky and the whole last section was a complete letdown. I won't let this experience sour my future with the series but honestly, I probably won't touch this game again.

I love the things you found at The Findery! It really is a special store but I appreciate the way your looking is more focused. That ensures that you walk away with things that really represent your style. I have gone in great stores before and walked out with special items that have no place in our home. Have you done that? It's a mistake really.

Rita C.,
Thank you for letting me know the link to my online shop was not working. I have updated the link to take readers to a page on Botanic Bleu with information about the online shop and with a direct SECURE link to my shop on SQUARE.
P.S. For some reason, the old link on this post worked in the draft mode, but not in the published mode. The new link I provide seems to work now. Please let me know if anyone cannot get the links to take you to the Botanic Bleu SQUARE online shop.

Hi Judith!
Thank you so very much for sharing your stories about The Findery! How fun it must have been to lay your eyes on that piece of French Brocante with your . . . I mean . . . Paris's name on it! ( Smile ) What a fabulous find for you.
As always, you styled your new purchases beautifully! I too love ruffled edge pottery pieces.
Waco is quite the center for style!

WALTHAM � Bentley University senior Lauren Battista has quite the collection of Dana Center twine that has spanned her career as the greatest scorer � and perhaps greatest player � in the storied history of the Falcons women�s basketball program.
On Sunday afternoon, she climbed the ladder for the sixth time in her four years to snip down either a Northeast-10 tournament championship or NCAA Division II regional net following her team�s 99-76 dismantling of Adelphi. It seemed only fitting on the day she was named NE-10 tournament MVP for the fourth time in her career that she was rewarded with an extra special momento as her teammates wrapped the entire bottom half of the net around her neck for an extended photo session.
Battista entered the game needing 18 points for 2,000 in her career and wound up striking for 21 in the first half alone on her way to a game-high 29 points as the No. 1-ranked team in the country improved to 29-0 with an offensive clinic of historic proportions.
�We wanted to send a message,� said Battista, whose team shot 66 percent in the first half from the floor overall and 70 percent from beyond the arc in scoring a program-record 64 points in the first half. �We didn�t go undefeated all year for nothing. And we weren�t going to give it up today when it meant the most.
�We knew we had to come out ready. The first couple of possessions up and back they got some easy baskets, and that woke us up that we have to lock down, play defense, push the ball and run it down their throats. That was our mentality.�
Bentley will be the No. 1 seed as Battista and her teammates look for a seventh home net to add to the treasure chest when the Falcons open NCAA Regional play in Waltham Friday night at 6 p.m.
Bentley coach Barbara Stevens said the team actually started one of the most impressive victories of their wire-to-wire No. 1 run exactly the opposite of how they wanted with Adelphi scoring on three straight possessions in the first 44 seconds of the game. But Bentley went on a 28-5 run over the next seven minutes and built the lead as high as 31 in the first half.
�We assumed that they would be all fired up to start the game and they were,� Stevens said. �The first three possessions they did the three things we preached would not happen to us in this game � backcut, backcut and then a driving layup. I think that was good for us. I told our team we just got slapped in the face and you woke up. Having that happen made us understand we have a game on our hands.�
Battista amassed her 29 points on 7-of-11 shooting to go with six assists and four rebounds in 31 minutes. Senior forward Caleigh Crowell nailed five 3-pointers on her way to 8-of-12 shooting and 22 points in just 25 minutes. Grad student Courtney Finn scored 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting with a team-high eight rebounds in 31 minutes. Freshman Jen Gemma contributed 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting and six rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.
�We were pretty hot,� said Finn, who was named to the All-Tournament team along with Battista and Crowell. �Caleigh was on fire. We really clicked right from the start. It was a good win.�
The last time Bentley met Adelphi on Jan. 15 it was a much different story as the Falcons shot just 31 percent overall and 16 percent on 3-pointers (3-for-19) in a 77-67 victory. On Sunday, Bentley was still on pace for 132 points with 10 minutes left in the game before things got a little ragged in the waning minutes.
�There was a great energy, atmosphere,� Crowell said. �We were up and we were ready. Not that we weren�t the last time, but this game we knew the stakes. We watched film of them. We know what we did wrong the last time and what we needed to do to win.�
Bentley�s lead grew to as big as 40 in the second half of the program�s fourth straight conference tournament title, and final NE-10 game for seven Bentley players who are either seniors or grad students.
�It�s a great accomplishment to do it for four years,� Finn said. �Not many people can say they did that.
�We appreciate it. We appreciate everything this year. With seven seniors we know this is our last run. We cherish everything that happens for us.�
Scott Souza can be reached at 781-398-8006 or email@example.com.

NPDs: Microsoft Tries to Spin Figures as Industry Shrinks in April
Posted by Ken Barnes
A strange response
April 2016's NPD figures are in and on the surface, they make for somewhat depressing reading for gamers.
NPD is reporting that year-on-year in the US, the industry shrank by 15%, from a total of $598.1 million in sales in the US across software, hardware, and accessories, to $509.5 million. Hardware was down 23%, software declined by 21%, while accessories - including "toys-to-life" products - grew by 4%. There's no cause for concern though, since the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are still trending 40 percent higher than the 30-month sales of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
One of the reasons for the decline was that in April last year, Mortal Kombat X was released, and it performed a lot better than many expected, shifting consoles and providing a big boost to numbers.
Unsurprisingly, PlayStation 4 was the biggest selling console of the month, but none of the manufacturers decided to respond to the hardware numbers this time around. Microsoft though, did issue a statement, spinning the numbers to focus on user engagement, rather than sales. They said:-
Thanks to our fans, April 2016 was the best month in history for global engagement on Xbox One, driven by the greatest games lineup, including the critically-acclaimed Quantum Break, Dark Souls III, and Tom Clancy's The Division," says Microsoft's corporate vice president of marketing Mike Nichols. "We received a strong response to the Gears of War 4 Versus Multiplayer Beta last month, which lasted two weeks and attracted more than 1.6 million unique players who helped us test and shape what is expected to be our biggest game of the year...We look forward to sharing more on our vision and plans for continuing to deliver the best gaming experience on Xbox One, Windows 10 and Xbox Live this year at E3 in June.
In terms of software, Quantum Break was among the best-selling titles of the month, with Minecraft and Call of Duty: Black Ops III continuing to sell best on Xbox One. The full top 10 for the month is below, with platforms listed in order of sales.
NPD US Software Top 10 - April 2016
- Dark Souls III (PS4, XO)
- Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
- MLB 16: The Show (PS4, PS3)
- Tom Clancy's The Division (PS4, XO, PC)
- Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XO, 360, PS3, PC)

"Steve, from all G-d's creatures, thank you. Rest in peace"
Steve Irwin was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef.
"The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," Stainton told reporters in Cairns. "He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!'"
At Australia Zoo at Beerwah, south Queensland, floral tributes were dropped at the entrance, where a huge fake crocodile gapes. Drivers honked their horns as they passed.
"Steve, from all G-d's creatures, thank you. Rest in peace," was written on a card with a bouquet of native flowers.

Seattle Savors High-Tech Boom Blend Of Money, Talent, Experience Helps Stimulate Growth
Thu., June 26, 1997
The pace of high-tech business start-ups in the Puget Sound area shows no sign of slowing. And they're drawing money to the region as savvy investors scramble to pick the winners.
The ventures are in a range of hot new fields - electronic commerce, Internet gaming, wireless telephones and more.
And there to offer them capital to grow on are investment banks and venture firms. Venture funding in the Northwest increased by 87 percent last year, according to the Price Waterhouse accounting firm. That's a bigger gain than the national 26 percent increase - and it tops the 35 percent rise in California's Silicon Valley, though on a much smaller base.
"The flow of good deals is picking up," said Stephen Arnold, who heads the new Bellevue office of Boston-based Polaris Venture Partners, an $85 million fund that began investing last year.
"We believe (Seattle) is going to be one of the very strong markets in the next phase of technology development," Arnold said. "That's part of the reason we're now headquartered here."
Silicon Valley Bank also opened a Bellevue office about a year ago.
Some of the most interesting new ventures were presented at an investment forum Tuesday and Wednesday organized by the Washington Software and Digital Media Alliance. Competition for time and space at the forum was so fierce that the group had to turn away three companies for every one it accepted, said its president, Kathy Wilcox.
The area's higher profile drew 200 potential investors to this year's forum from as far away as Singapore and Paris.
"There's a recognition by the capitalists themselves that this is the place to be," Wilcox said.
The enterprises are getting bigger. Two years ago, 80 percent of Washington software companies had 10 or fewer employees. Today only 64 percent are that small, Wilcox said.
"These people are looking for very large sums compared to prior years," she said.
"And the companies themselves are more sophisticated. They have management teams that have been around the block."
For example, there's David Pool, who founded Spry Inc. in Seattle and in 1994 launched a product called Internet in a Box, which let people instantly connect to the Internet. CompuServe bought Spry in 1995.
Six months ago, Pool started DataChannel Corp. to help companies better manage the flow of information from inside and outside.
The Red Herring, a technology business magazine, just named Pool one of the "Top 20 Entrepreneurs in Digital Technology," along with News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch and Jeff Bezos of amazon.com.
Another example is RTIME Inc., a Seattle company with a software engine that lets hundreds, even thousands, of people play an Internet game simultaneously. The software to play RTIME's spaceship game, which demonstrates the technology, can be downloaded free off the Internet at http://www.rtimeinc.com.
RTIME is headed by Chip Overstreet, a veteran of more than 10 years in software marketing who just received $1.5 million in funding from a group led by the Seattle venture firm Pacific Horizon Ventures.
Microsoft's growth over the last 20 years is a factor in all this activity, but not the only one.
Research at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has led to new companies, in biotechnology as well as computer hardware and software.
Redmond-based Nintendo of America is one of the top names in video games.
And three local companies - WRQ, Attachmate and Wall Data - lead the world market in linking various types of computers into networks.
The area also has many tele-communications start-ups that trace their roots to McCaw Cellular, now AT&T; Wireless.
The region's blend of money, talent and experience now supports more new ventures than in the past.
"I suppose it's called moving out of adolescence and into adulthood," said George Klute, a principal in Olympic Venture Partners and chairman of this year's investment forum.
"What's changed here is that we've got enough examples or role models for entrepreneurs to see how this (venture funding) works," Klute said.

Thank you all for your input. I've looked at several auctions where authentic eagles like mine sold. They seem to have gone anywhere from $1700 to $2200. Does that sound about right?

Sounds about right to me
What would be the appropriate subcategory to place this in the classified section? Are there additional recommended sites I could post this for sale?
Again, thank you for all the input.
On this forum I would put in in the (other third riech section) in the classifieds
How things change eh? Old Manion's catalogues from the 80's show these, depending on condition and size, going for anything between $100-$200.....

It's all a learning experience for me. I'll take everything into consideration and go from there. Slados28 - since you picked one off the market last year, this one just increased in value (humor!)
Based on the latest input, I have lowered the opening price for the Eagle auction. If it doesn't sell, that's ok too, since I really have no need to sell it other than it is being neglected in the back of my closet.
As a new member, you are not allowed to post anything for sale until after 20 meaningful posts. We have too many people come here, use the forum for their own profit and contribute nothing. There is also the danger that a new commodity lifts pictures from somewhere on the net and offers a piece they do not own. Recently, a guy in France was trying to sell one of my uniforms that is still in my collection!. A contribution to the Forum would be a good start.
Why do I feel like I've just been scolded? I've read about your uniform story in the post about the Helmet found in a French storage unit. Like I openly stated right from the start, I am not a collector of WWII memorabilia, I was just looking for a place to find someone who would appreciate the Eagle more than I would. I am not here to be a long time contributor, thinking that my bringing the Eagle here is a contribution in and of itself. Did not mean to step on your toes. I will close the offering. Have a nice day.
