[As an attempt to keep tabs on improvement as a bike wrench, I'll be doing reports on work at the shop. Will include type of work, time on tasks, and any lessons learned. While I cannot hope to replace Sheldon Brown, I can try to pay forward some of the knowledge I've gained. To anyone with any experience on bikes, my problems and lessons will seem laughably amateur.]
Task: Assembled two new bikes, a Cypress (hybrid) and a Dash (roadbike with mountain type bars) I spent two hours putting them together. I feel like it should take about half that long. Most of my time (that I feel I can improve on) is spent fooling with the indexing.
Problem: Front derailleur on Dash jammed when shifting to large ring.
Lesson: Moved derailleur up. This enabled the chain to clear the shift without wedging between ring and derailleur cage. Problem solved, though I'm not impressed by the default setting up of this particular bike. Chainwheel, chain and derailleur are pretty much fixed sizes, shouldn't they be easy to put in the correct spot when you're making several thousand of them?
Off topic: There is a bat(bats?) in the rafters.

Following several months rehab as a result of his Calpol/Bovril induced psychosis, Fleydon eventually emerged from his deep psychic trauma refreshed and revitalised.
"It was like a re-birth for me. I felt cleansed and purged. I felt as though I'd had an epiphany, a symbolic re-birth. As a (metaphorical) 'clean slate' I dressed in white lined and ate only fruit, seeds and water. At first my art suffered as I sought to re-ignite that emotional intensity, but I soon found myself in a place of order, serenity and cool. Calm logic percolated my psyche, although I must admit the diet was playing havoc with my bowels. The result was a statement –'Form Follows Function'. Or, and not many have picked up on this, was it not actually a statement but in reality a question...?
I took up yoga as part of my new regime and was amazed at what the body could do could do – look, even after all these years I can gauge to an inch what stresses and strains my limbs can take."
At this point Fleydon dropped to the floor and into what seemed to be an ancient yogic knot. His gaunt frame and spindly limbs awkwardly reconfigured themselves. When he was eventually able to right himself he commenced a low, murmured chant. We listened in silence
A good thirty minutes later, still in his extraordinary position, he broke the silence with a sigh 'You know, at that point in time I felt the body was a machine and a team, such as AFC Wimbledon, merely a collection of small machines combining to make a bigger machine. If the machine/team was made out of the correct parts then the team would function. If the team functioned then we would be guaranteed a good run of form – it follows then that 'Form Follows Function'. I was completely unaware that someone else had used the phrase before. It confused my message, made things awkward.' He paused and thought a while before continuing. 'People thought I was talking about building houses or something. They said they didn't understand exactly what I meant. Now, with the benefit of hindsight I'm not so sure that I do too. Does it really matter though?
Stylistically though, I like the blue/black letters and there were lots of straight lines, which I like painting. So on the whole, despite really being a reaction to 'Screaming Eagle', I think 3F's has a lot going for it. - and could you help me up now please?"
'Form Follows Function' has most recently appeared in a Don's Trust election manifesto. Fleydon declined to comment on the politicization of his work.
(Form Follows Function is part of the artist's private collection)

Press Releases That Hit The Mark
A well-written, targeted press release can put a positive spin on your product before it hits the marketplace. We know what magazines and online sites need, and understand the quality and level of detail necessary for top-notch press material. Our goal is to gain maximum exposure for you in a timely manner.
When you're launching a new product, you want to get the attention of the media and, in turn, your customers. A "plain vanilla" approach to conveying your message won't generate the same interest and enthusiasm as a well-written, well-designed document that integrates text and graphics to spread the word about your new product while reinforcing your company's identity. Each of our press releases is custom-tailored to the audience you want to reach. In addition to creating releases for new products, we produce other related materials, including tie-ins with artists and endorsers, updates on classic products, etc. All are important news. Of no less importance is making sure that the person reading the material gets a strong visual image to reinforce the written material.
Samples of new product releases are available in pdf form:
Zon Guitars Announces The Sonus Classic
Zon Guitars Announces The Tribute Bass
Santa Cruz Guitar Company 000 Guitar
ElectroPlex Rocket 90 Amplifier
Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 Guitar
Note: If you don't have Acrobat Reader, or if you need a new version, you can get it for free from Adobe at: http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/.
In addition to press releases, we create dealer advance releases that are designed to generate retailer interest in products before you introduce them to the marketplace. Like press releases, the releases you send to your dealers and distributors before shipping your product have to be clear, understandable, and presented with enough enthusiasm to make them want to inventory what you sell. We produce these releases for both online and print media, making them the perfect way to get your dealers up to speed and ready to sell as soon as you're ready to ship.

Whether you need remote assistance or onsite consultation, our team is ready to deliver the help you require.
General Services
From the small restaurants and businesses that serve Koreatown to the clusters of homes and shops in the museum district of Mid-Wilshire there are many computer users who may not know where to turn for help with their computers. PC Fixer is here to help you with all your computer needs.
If you are seeking help with any of the following, PC Fixer delivers the help you need:
- IT Services
- Computer Sales
- Computer Repair
- Laptop Repair
- Computer Networking
- Computer Cabling
Should you require our expert assistance on-site, you can be sure that out technicians know the Wilshire corridor, as well as the Vermont, Western and Fairfax corridors as well. We know how to find you when you need us.
IT Services
Many ordinary computer users do not think about the possibility of needing IT services for their personal machines. So when they run into virus infections, loss of data due to crashes, or problems with learning an unfamiliar but necessary program, they don't know where to find assistance. The PC Fixer team, however, is trained to help you in these areas. We are pleased to give our customers these services, which will help the clients have better over-all computer experiences.
Computer Sales
If you are contemplating getting a new machine, you can seek the advice of our team. We can help you select the best computer for your needs, because not all computers are created equal. For instance, if you anticipate doing a lot of graphics work with complex renderings, you will need a computer that has a powerful video card, something most laptops do not have. If you are concerned about costs, we can offer finely refurbished computers and laptops that will suit your budget. We even custom build desktop computers for businesses and individuals.
Computer Repair
One of the biggest concerns for many users is access to reliable computer repair. Our technicians are well trained in repair work, and are both Apple and Microsoft Certified. We will run diagnostics on your machine and determine what is malfunctioning, whether it is a software or a hardware issue. We will then explain what your options are for repair. We have no interest in suckering you into purchases you do not need, for it wastes your time and ours. We will be clear and concise about what you may need for your ailing computer.
Laptop Repair
We recognize that laptop users have a great need for an effective, working machine. When a laptop needs repair, we try to be as speedy with the work as possible, so that your valuable device can be returned to you in good working order. Because we are familiar with all makes and models of laptops, we are also aware of how easy or difficult it may be to acquire the parts needed for your repairs – and we will let you know of those possibilities.
Computer Networking
If you are a small business that has to coordinate several work stations, or a residence that needs to network several devices for family members, our team can arrange the best networking option for you. The security of multiple devices in a network can also be a concern, and we provide the means to secure your computers and networks, with anti-virus software and internet firewalls.
Computer Cabling
The task of laying out cables for multiple computing devices can be tricky at times. Making sure that the cables for your computer, the monitor, incoming internet lines, connections to printers and scanners are all safely placed can be a challenge. Laying cords around furniture, placing them under rugs, folding them back on themselves can all create problems if they are not done with care and awareness. We are experts at this and can give you the best, safest service in laying your cables.
From the east end of Koreatown to the western edge of the Mid-Wilshire district, our team of computer experts are waiting to give you prompt, effective services. Contact us today, if you need any assistance with computer matters.

Rich Dubee interviewed yesterday for the position of Orioles pitching coach. Carl Willis will meet today with a group that includes manager Buck Showalter, executive vice president Dan Duquette and vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson.
Who's got next?
Rangers bullpen coach Andy Hawkins and Braves minor league pitching coordinator Dave Wallace also will interview. Those are the four confirmed outside candidates.
"Whoever they pick will probably be overqualified for the job," said Orioles reliever Tommy Hunter. "It's not anything we need to worry about."
Hunter is especially fond of Hawkins and offers a ringing endorsement.
"Hawk is the guy who told me I was getting called up to the big leagues," Hunter said last night in a phone interview. "Hawk was the Rangers' Triple-A coach for 2008. When I got called up, I pitched my first game and Goose, Mark Connor, got fired after my major league debut. The very next day, Hawk was the interim pitching coach for Texas, so I got my Triple-A pitching coach back, which was pretty good for me.
"Hawk was trying to pretty much show me the way, I guess, and he joined me the next day. He gave me congratulations for getting called up, and the next day I gave him a big hug and jumped up and down and congratulated him, welcoming him to the big leagues. It was a cool thing.
"Me and Hawk have a special relationship, but I don't think that played any part in him getting an interview. A lot of it has to do with him being a great guy and going about his business the way you should."
Hawkins remains a popular figure among Rangers pitchers.
"If you're going to coach, you've got to be able to connect with players on many levels," Hunter said. "He's very smart, and he actually listens. He's not going to try to put something on you that you can't do. He's not trying to turn you into somebody you're not. That's probably one of the biggest things. He tries to make the best of what he's got with that player. He's not trying to turn him into somebody else. I'm not trying to say a lot of coaches do that, but it's easy to do."
Connor began 2011 as the Orioles pitching coach, but he resigned two months into the season for health reasons, with Adair moving from the bullpen to replace him. Adair took a personal leave in August, with Bill Castro moving from the bullpen to replace him.
Adair won't return in 2014. And Hawkins, who once replaced Connor in Texas, could replace Adair in Baltimore.
"I don't know the extent of it," Hunter said of Adair's departure. "I'm kind of left in the dark, but it is what it is. They've got to fill the job. It's sad to see Rick go, but the job is open and somebody's got to jump in it.
"We've just got to throw the ball. That's what it comes down to. A pitching coach can only do so much. You're the one out there throwing the ball. They're there for advice and to answer any questions when you have them, but there's only so much they can help you with. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
"Everybody's going to have their say and do what got them to the big leagues, and you've got to somewhat adapt. And I think Hawk or whoever they bring in will be able to do that and fit right in with the team and the chemistry and the Oriole Way.
"I guess you can put that in there. That would be pretty cute."
True. You can't go wrong in Baltimore when referencing the Oriole Way.
"There's a layup," Hunter said.
Thanks for the assist, Tommy.
Castro is expected to interview for the job of pitching coach as one of the in-house candidates. Hunter wants Castro in the bullpen if he loses out.
"Billy helped me so much," Hunter said. "I like Billy. To be selfish about it, I hope he comes back to the bullpen. I always sat with him. He's the reason my season turned out like it did. It's not even a question. I will be straight up and honest. There's no way I could have done what I did without him. I owe that man a lot."
In his first full season as a reliever, Hunter went 6-5 with a 2.81 ERA in 68 appearances, with 71 hits, 14 walks and 68 strikeouts in 86 1/3 innings.
"He put my head on straight," Hunter said. "He taught me how to do it. He taught me what to do. He told me what to do, gave me advice. I did it and I'll be damned, it worked. I'll go to bat for him in a heartbeat."
Hunter posted a 2.40 ERA in August and a 3.45 ERA in September.
"I was kind of pissed he went into the dugout, which was a selfish part of me," Hunter said. "He was the right man for the job, but man, I could have used him in September. I fell off. I really fell off.
"He's great. I will go to bat for Billy. But Hawk, all the other guys, I'm sure they're overqualified. Buck's not going to put us in harm's way."

MMA Will Never Be an Olympic Sport, so Please Stop Talking About ItAugust 7, 2012
Look, I understand that the Olympics makes the heart grow fonder for the spirit of competition and national pride and all of that good stuff. It happens every time the Games come around. Back in the days of my youth, I wanted to strap on some giant skis and be a long-jumper. That all changed the very moment I first laid my eyes on a real-life long-jump ramp, but the spirit was there all the same.
And so I understand the constantly-voiced desire to see mixed martial arts become an officially-sanctioned aspect of the Olympics. I mean, who wouldn't love to see nations compete against each other for the right to call themselves the best fighting country in the world? That's the thing that has driven gargantuan ratings for NBC, the official not-quite-live home for the event here in the United States.
What, you think people tuned in because they're suddenly vested in finding out who the best gymnast or sprinter in the world is? Don't be ridiculous. They're glued to that new television set in the living room because they're patriotic as hell—at least once every couple of years—and because they don't want to be left out when the chatter around the water cooler the next morning invariably turns to the previous day's glorious rowing scene on the Thames.
MMA fans want to see their sport on the world's biggest stage. I can't blame them. When one of the featured events of the last few television broadcasts was a bunch of people flopping around on a trampoline, it's tough not to imagine mixed martial arts as a featured event. And hey, the Olympics already have boxing, wrestling and judo, so why not combine them all together and save time? Everybody wins. Right?
Well, not really. And there's a good reason that MMA will never, ever be a sanctioned athletic event in any Olympic games: because it's just too violent.
Imagine, if you will, doing the Ultimate Fighter tournament with sixteen dudes. This is just a theoretical tournament, by the way. And imagine that this tournament, instead of taking place during television tapings that lasts six or seven weeks, must instead take place over the course or two or three days.
That, in a nutshell, is why it will never work as an Olympic sport. The likeliness of completing any kind of tournament as originally conceived is incredibly low. Boxing is also an inherently violent sport, but Olympic boxing is a watered-down and greatly different sport than the one you throw down $70 on from time to time. Headgear and rule changes make it more of a point-fighting sport, which is mostly different from boxing altogether.
Do you want to see MMA take the same route? A bunch of you could barely contain your grief when Carlos Condit beat Nick Diaz using the same kind of style, so I cannot imagine the outcry we'd hear over the Olympics taking the same route as a whole. And make no mistake about it: if mixed martial arts made it to the Olympics (which it won't), it would be a highly-bastardized and much safer product than you see on television. Chances are you'd probably hate it.
But none of this matters, because it's never going to become a sanctioned sport. MMA fans should instead focus their efforts on getting Brazilian jiu-jitsu in front of the people who can help make the sport an Olympic reality. Or they should just watch wrestling, or judo, and see if they can pick out some of the people who might someday become future stars in MMA.
But please, just stop talking about MMA becoming an Olympic sport.

Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul has revealed that Bryan Cranston mooned him during their final scene together on the series.
The actor - who has played Jesse Pinkman since the show's first season in 2008 - said that Cranston's prank interrupted a very "serious moment" in the series finale.
He told ShortList: "I remember the final scene that he and I were shooting together.
"It was this serious moment, I'm talking to him and I hear everyone laughing outside of the set and I'm like, 'Why is everyone laughing?'
"Then I realise. He turns away from me and starts walking and I can see that his ass is out. Right in front of the camera."
The AMC series draws to a close after five seasons next month and Paul recently described Breaking Bad's final episodes as "crazy".
He added that the series will get "more and more intense" as it heads towards its conclusion.
Breaking Bad continues on Sunday nights on AMC, with the final episodes available exclusively on Netflix in the UK.

After getting 8 hours of sleep Saturday night, plus a 2 hour nap yesterday afternoon, and 9 hours of sleep last night, I have no business being tired today. And yet...
Yesterday I thought about drawing a picture of Rachael Leigh Cook, so I sifted through the pictures of her that I have in search of a suitable one to work with. One picture I found was from some magazine interview in which she was quoted as saying, "I'm not small; I'm space-efficient." After reading that, I said, "No, what you are is adorable. In fact, I want to adore your brains out."
I did actually start on a picture of RLC, but rather than going the traditional fully-painted portrait route I decided to go for a totally freehand pencil and ink sketch. As I told Scott today, after working on it for a while, I titled the (unfinished) picture "How to Totally Jack Up Your Wrist."
I explained that I meant that all of the hatching and cross-hatching involved in the sketch was painful, not that I was doing something unsavory. Scott responded, "Is that what we're calling it now? Have you been furiously 'hatching and cross-hatching' a lot lately? Don't answer that."
He made himself - and me - lol.
While walking behind someone today at work, I was listening to the sound of my keys, change, and pocket knife loudly rattling around in my pocket, and I thought, "Worst. Ninja. Ever."
To all of the school-age children of Loudoun County: getting off the damn bus should not take that long. If it takes you more than one minute, you should probably be riding on a shorter bus.
Some additions to the "is not equal to" list:
defiantly != definitely (and note that it is "definite" and "definitely," not "definate" and "definately")
and similarly...
infinate != infinite
seperate != separate

Okay, that's it. I'll

The No. 1 Reason You Should Never Be Afraid to Try
Viewing failure as a bad thing leads people to believe intelligence is fixed.
Posted Apr 29, 2016
Nikki Giovanni wisely said, "I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure, but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try." A new study from the Department of Psychology at Stanford University confirms that parents who view failure as a negative and detrimental event, unwittingly send messages to their kids that someone's intelligence is set in stone.
All too often, the fear of failure seems to paralyze people of all ages from taking chances and having an openness to new experiences. When was the last time you bit off more than you could chew, knowing that you were likely to fail . . . but charged ahead by reminding yourself, "nothing ventured, nothing gained"? If fear is holding you back, hopefully this blog post will inspire you to take the plunge and try something new.
Do You Believe That Intelligence Is Fixed or Malleable?
One of my biggest pet peeves is the belief by some that "intelligence" is somehow genetically predetermined or fixed statically in place. First of all, there are so many different types of intelligence. Second, because of neuroplasticity, it's always possible for anyone to change his or her mindset and cognitive abilities with persistence and practice.
Along these lines, the latest study by psychological scientist, Kyla Haimovitz, and mindset expert, Carol Dweck, found that the more negatively parents' attitudes were about any type of failure, the more likely their children were to see their parents as being more obsessed with performance as opposed to the learning process.
The April 2016 study, "What Predicts Childrens Fixed and Growth Intelligence Mind-Sets? Not Their Parents Views of Intelligence but Their Parents Views of Failure," was published in the journal Psychological Science.
For this study, Haimovitz and Dweck, were curious to establish how parents' attitudes about failure trickled down to influence their children's "intelligence mindsets." An intelligence mindset is someone's belief of whether intelligence is fixed or malleable.
Across the board, the researchers found that, "parents who see failure as debilitating focus on their children's performance and ability rather than on their children's learning, and their children, in turn, tend to believe that intelligence is fixed rather than malleable."
Haimovitz and Dweck emphasize that parents convey their views about whether failure is positive or negative in how they respond to their children's setbacks. A few days ago, I wrote a Psychology Today blog post based on a new study of elite-level athletes which found that the performers who became "super champions" all had a rocky road to success. What differentiated the "super champs" from the "almost champs" was how young athletes learned to cope with setbacks. This study on athletes dovetails seamlessly with the recent findings from Stanford on parents' perceptions of failure.
In most cases, having overbearing parents who put too much pressure on their child's athletics—and didn't let their children navigate failures through trial and error—inadvertently sabotaged the odds of their kid being a champion. The same seems to be true in both sport and life. As Haimovitz. explained in a statement,
"It is important for parents, educators, and coaches to know that the growth mindset that sits in their heads may not get through to children unless they use learning-focused practices, like discussing what their children could learn from a failure and how they might improve in the future."
"Isn't It Nerve-Racking to Post Something You've Written on the Internet?"
As I was reading the new study by Dweck and Haimovitz this morning, I was reminded of a conversation I had with my 8-year-old daughter the other day about being a "writer" and posting new Psychology Today blog posts on the internet most days of the week.
My daughter is just realizing the vastness of the "world wide web" and how it works. Googling my name along with some random word, whenever she gets her hands on an iPad, has become a favorite pastime for my daughter when we're in the car. If she finds something I've written, she'll start reading it out loud and asking me questions about the topic. It's a fun game we play.
Anyway, recently she asked me, "Isn't it nerve-racking to put something you've written on the internet for the whole world to read? Aren't you scared that people are going to judge you?"
My initial reaction was to say, "Yes, it's sort of terrifying, but, the process of researching, writing, and sharing ideas with readers is a labor of love. It makes me feel so good that the rewards outweigh any fears." I also told her that writing doesn't come naturally to me, but that I love the challenge and work really hard every day to become a better writer... but that it's always going to be a work in progress. Just like mastering my tennis serve is a never-ending process.
I also explained to her candidly, that, "In our family, my older sister (her Aunt Renée) was extremely "book smart" when we were growing up. My sister got perfect scores on all of her tests and exams." On the other hand, I told my daughter, "I was terrible at taking standardized tests, which is why I went to Hampshire College, which doesn't have grades or tests. I believe that judging people's intelligence based on some random score on an exam is highly overrated."
I elaborated by telling her a story of how my sister, Renée, read War and Peace in the fourth grade—but that when I was that age I was always on the tennis court, listening to pop music, or hanging out with my friends. I told my daughter that I would get ants in pants if I had to sit still, and hated reading books when I was a kid. But explained that luckily her grandparents encouraged me to run free. And that my father once said to me, "Renée may have a lot of 'book smarts,' Chris. But you've got a lot of 'sports smarts.' Your ability to display 'athletic genius' on the tennis court is your gift."
My daughter plays a lot of tennis these days, but likes to read as well. I told her that she has equal amounts of all types of "intelligence" and that labels are counterproductive. At the end of the day, every individual is totally unique and "free to be... you and me."
My Guinness World Record hangs in a dark alcove of my daughter's bedroom. Although I don't discuss it much, she realizes the hard work it represents. So, I told her, "I learned as an athlete that in order to succeed and become the best that I could be, I had to fail again and again—but always keep trying. Inevitably, every time I raised the bar, and took on a new athletic challenge, I would have to fail first in order to ultimately succeed and break a record."
I explained that when I retired from sports—because I was getting too old to run as long and as fast as I could when I was young—that I decided to reinvent myself as a writer. I made a half-joke that part of my drive was to prove to myself (and my father) that I wasn't just a "dumb jock" and that I'd always felt kind of insecure about my "book smarts" (which is true). But, I said, "The good news is that I'm living proof that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. With lots of practice, practice, practice... anything is possible." I reminded her that even though I got terrible standardized test scores as a kid, it didn't stop me from becoming a writer as an adult and that intelligence is never fixed.
Then, I said, "getting good grades is awesome, but it's not the be-all and end-all. One of the unexpected blessings of not getting good grades for me was that nobody ever thought I could succeed as a writer later in life. So, it took all the pressure off and has allowed me to pour my heart into writing without worrying about rejection or criticism." Because I'm not an academic or intellectual, I have the liberty to "wing it" as a writer. I don't expect to win any Pulitzer prizes and I'm not trying to impress my peers. There's freedom in that. I told her that my drive has always been self-motivated and intrinsic, and what that meant...
Lastly, I explained to my daughter why my overarching life philosophy is inspired by Alice Walker, who said, "Expect Nothing. Live Frugally on Surprise" and recited the poem. For me, pragmatic optimism in both sports and daily life has allowed me to take chances and try new things fearlessly. I view all of my failures as opportunities for growth. Hopefully, reading this blog post will inspire you to put your fear of failure on the back burner and try something you've been afraid to do, right now.
In closing, below is one of my favorite TED lectures, "The Power of Believing That You Can Improve," by Carol Dweck. This lecture emphasizes the importance of believing that mindset is never fixed and that intelligence is malleable throughout our lives.To read more on this topic, check out my Psychology Today blog posts,

Personally, I've located Claymore to become the strongest and best all spherical miner. It's easy to arrange, I've never ever had any problems with it, and it's got a lot of extra features (e.
You'll be able to remotely preserve a watch out with your rig by checking it's hashing status on the pool within your preference and likewise by logging in employing TeamViewer.
It's also proposed that you buy some added PCIe to Molex (or SATA) connectors so as to connect the risers to diverse rails on the PSU. Again, you'll find these on Amazon, and can only Expense some pounds.
Sometimes, your motherboard BIOS might not be established-up the right way straight away. For those who're including your GPUs one after the other, and at just one place your rig crashes, and also you've eliminated GPU related troubles, then it's likely that your motherboard is The difficulty.
Solo mining is once you mine by your self. The benefit of this is always that anything at all you discover is completely yours to maintain. Regrettably, if you only have several miners it'd get a very very long amount of time to search out "gold." Furthermore, the frequency of acquiring gold may fluctuate extensively. You could have a week in which you strike gold thrice, but then very little for a complete month.
Having said that, if you are doing use an area wallet, then both install it on a computer that's not your miner or routinely transfer funds elsewhere. The key reason why for This is often That ought to your computer crash; it could be challenging to Get well any Ether that is kept on there.
Now install the software most well-liked Ethereum software, the miner, and Geth. These will allow you to with syncing While using the blockchain after which you can starting to mine.
When choosing the CPU, you only want the bare minimum. I wouldn't suggest getting absolutely the lowest priced, but a few details higher than.
For that reason, if you see second-hand GPUs in which you're spending under that, then they might be worth a superior thought.
In the event you'd wish to Solo mine, you have got to be in sync While using the blockchain. To achieve this, you must download Geth and reserve it to the folder for instance C:Ether. Then open up a command prompt, and navigate to this folder using the cd
You'll find at present two options for GPU mining in Geth accessible. You'll be able to go through a more in-depth description on how to setup it on this mining article.
Anytime you develop a transaction in Ethereum, the string that is returned is the Transaction Hash. You may use People to monitor a transaction in progress, or the level of gas put in in a earlier transaction making use of eth.getTransaction()
Windows 7 & 8 would require some fooling around with. Ethereum free mobile mining software download In the event you are used to command line model systems, and mining will be the only goal in the rig, then I'd extremely advocate investigating ethOS.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was advised to expand the reach of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) by two tribunals to cover a broader spectrum of claimants, including those with psychological problems.
However disabilities minister Penny Mordaunt said urgent reforms were needed to "restore the original aim of the benefit", before tightening the measures.
The Government said expanding the payment criteria would cost an extra £3.7bn extra by 2022 and insisted that no claimant would see a reduction in the amount of PIP previously awarded.
However, Labour accused the Conservatives of "shifting the goalposts" and said 160,000 people were set to miss out.
Shadow work and pensions secretary, Debbie Abrahams, said: "Instead of listening to the court's criticisms of personal independence payment assessments and correcting these injustices, the Government has instead decided to undermine the legal basis of the rulings.
"This is an unprecedented attempt to subvert an independent tribunal judgment by a government with contempt for judicial process."
Disability charity Scope called the move "concerning" and said it could mean disabled claimants lose their independence.
"Life costs more if you're disabled – on average £550 a month. PIP plays a vital role in helping disabled people meet some of those extra costs," policy and research director Anna Bird told The Independent.
"The assessment process is clearly not fit for purpose and must be reformed so it accurately reflects the extra costs disabled people face."
PIP is separated into two categories – "daily living" and "mobility", with claimants assessed for each type under a point system.
Claimants with eight points receive a basic payment and those with 12 points receive an enhanced rate.
The first tribunal said claimants should receive more points in the "mobility" assessment if they suffer from "overwhelming psychological distress" when travelling alone.
A second tribunal also recommended more points in the "daily living" element for people who need help to take medication and monitor a health condition.
However, DWP said the rulings had misinterpreted the original intention of the PIP payment.
A DWP statement read: "Recent legal judgments have interpreted the assessment criteria for PIP in ways that are different to what was originally intended.
"The government is now making amendments to clarify the criteria, to restore the original aim of the policy and ensure support goes to those most in need."

I had always been a fan of Adriano Zumbo before Masterchef made his famous. I have tried just about everything on his menu over the years. My two favourite things out of all his creations are his macarons and his V8 cake.
Adriano Zumbo made macarons famous. Adriano Zumbo Patisserie had always been quite well known, but after his stint on Masterchef Australia, he became very famous. Everyone went crazy over his creations and his macarons. Soon, long lines started to form outside his Balmain store and unfortunately his macarons shrunk.
Adriano Zumbo Patisserie macarons are quite nice. The fillings are quite generous, but the size of the macaron are quite small. Adriano Zumbo have made some pretty crazy macaron flavours such as Baby Powder, Bacon and Finger Bun. Many of these crazy macaron flavours have been quite hit and miss. My favourite Adriano Zumbo Patisserie macaron is the Salted Caramel Macaron. I love the combination of salty and sweet. The macaron shell is always quite crisp.
Adriano Zumbo Patisserie also makes a variety of interesting cakes. Out of all the cakes that I have eaten from Adriano Zumbo Patisserie, my favourite cake is the Vanilla V8 Cake. I prefer the Vanilla V8 cake more than the Chocolate V8 cake. I found the Chocolate V8 cake to be too sweet. The Vanilla V8 cake is so delicious. I like the different textures to the cake. I really love how the V8 cake comes in a smaller individual serving.
Adriano Zumbo also makes delicious biscuits, bread, pastries and chocolate. I personally am not a fan of his chocolate range, but I do really like his biscuits, bread and pastries.
Adriano Zumbo Patisserie locations can be located on his website:

Delta Dental NJ's Keith Libou Shares Changes in Dental Care
Dr. Keith Libou, Chief Clinical Officer at Delta Dental of New Jersey, explains how dental care is evolving from simple oral care to overall healthcare of the whole body. Dentists can help screen for diseases, like diabetes, when a primary physician is not available. Libou also talks about mobile dentistry that goes out into the community to reach patients who can't get to a dentist's office.
#2586 11/19/2016
"We are pleased to be joined by Doctor Keith Libou, who is chief clinical officer, Delta Dental of New Jersey. Good to see you. Thanks Steve, great to be here. Let's talk a little bit about when we talked to some of your colleagues, people say "I'm going to the dentist and I'm going to get my teeth checked, I'm going to take something, take care of some of my teeth." But oral health is so much more than that. You told our producers "Hey, wait a minute? We have to look at your full medical history. This is about something bigger that just your teeth." Absolutely. It used to be a situation where somebody would go to the dentist, and the dentist would still take a full medical history, but the primary reason was really to be able to provide dental care safely. If you think about it, it's one of the few medical areas where virtually every visit is an invasive procedure, because something is happening, there's an opportunity to introduce bacteria into the body. And we use anaesthetics, and so we want to make sure people can be treated safely. And now what that's evolving to is really a situation where dentists are really becoming a primary care provider for patients. Really? Absolutely. A primary care provider? Give us an example. Well, for example, you know a lot of patients, there are millions of patients that see their dentist annually. Whether it's for taking care of an emergency, who do not see a physician regularly, so a patient goes in to see the phy... you know, see their dentist, they haven't seen a physician. Right. And the dentist has an opportunity, I like to call it an "at bat", but they have an opportunity to do a number of things. They could take the patient's blood pressure, they could evaluate the patient's family history for diabetes, and do a risk assessment, they could evaluate whether or not they're at risk for sleep apnea, and something that's really really exciting , back in early 2015, the State of New Jersey Dental Board was very progressive, and they actually decl... you know, stated that it's within the scope of dental practice for dentists to actually do in-office blood testing for diabetes. For diabetes? For diabetes. The dentist will do that? The dentist can do it. Can do that? Absolutely. Are a significant number of them, doctor, doing that? No. Not... Should they be? Well, there's definitely an opportunity to do it for patients that have risk factors for diabetes..."

'Tis the season for slippers!
The Christmas after Abby was born, a friend gave me these lovely authentic bunny slippers. I heart these slippers and have for nigh upon 12 years now. They went with me to the hospital when I had Sam and again when I had Kady. However, Mom wouldn't allow me to wear them when I had Kady because, as she said, "they're just embarrassing." Not because they're bunnies but because they were so worn the heck out. And that was nearly 7 years ago! The worn-out-edness of them is even more pronounced today. But I still heart them.
(Yes, my toenails are painted black.)
However, being all grownup what with the fact that I watched a Vice-presidential debate for the first time last night, I also know that the bunnies....they will not last forever. There will come a time when they have to hop off to the big bunny slipper field in the sky to be chased by little stuffed dogs that have since moved on.
So a few weeks ago I bought these:
Because if I am watching political debates and discussing the correct pronunciation of the word "nuclear" with my husband very heatedly, the least I can do is wear these. You know...to keep things in the proper perspective.
(NOTE: I got the sock monkey slippers at Target.)

: I tried the "plough position" for a couple days and am wondering if it's safe or not to do a little daily. My neck and back are fairly sore, and I have to say I have my concerns... Thanks. (Note that I can't do this - I thought maybe with lots of practice I could someday.)
Well Sean ,I started pumping iron on July 1,2004. Because I have skinny girly arms,and im guy, I have to do something. Just want to say my arms are sore and stiff after working out. Self Sucking positions can cause the same soreness as any kind of stretching or workout. Your body will eventually adapt to it. Give yourself a year to shape up. think of the pleasure you'll have when you lick your own cock...mmmm

- Are you ready to take the next step in Freemasonry and learn more about what was not revealed in the first three degrees?
- Are you looking to explore and continue learning more of what the fraternity has to offer?
- Are you looking for a place where men can meet, enjoy each others company, yet still gain more knowledge about and maintain a sense of history?
Then the York Rite is for you! Come along with us and enjoy the information of the York Rite, and, if you are so inclined, we invite you to join us.
Additional Information About the York Rite
The York Rite confers Degrees and Orders beyond the Blue Lodge's three Degrees:
In the York Rite, A Master Mason may become a member of three bodies that consists of seven additional Degrees and three Orders:
- Chapter (Capitular Degrees)- Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal Arch degrees;
- Council (Cryptic Degrees) – Royal Master, Select Master, and Super Excellent Master;
- Knights Templar (Civalric Orders) commonly known as the Commandery) – Illustrious Order of the Red Cross, Order of Malta and the Order of the Temple.
In none of these is any memorization required to advance from one degree to another. There are many easily learned parts that any interested Mason may acquire and participate in the conferring of the work. In the York Rite, most of the work is performed by a cast of characters made up to portray more vividly the message and in some cases, the cast is robed to add to the impressiveness of the lessons.
Many believe the Sublime Degree of Master Mason is the ultimate degree of Freemasonry and that all others are added and explanatory. Most students of Freemasonry agree that the story of the Craft as presented in the three degrees is incomplete and that the degrees offered in the York Rite of Freemasonry complete the story and answer many of the questions in the mind of the newly made Master Mason.

Creating An Updraft Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 8, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: There's a right way and a wrong way to "do" church. The right way is the one that takes the most work.
A woman once told about her good friend and fellow parishioner who had just bought a house that was between the preacher's house and that owned by the chairman of the deacons. I teased her a bit. "Now you must really walk the straight and narrow," I said.
"On the contrary," she replied. "I expect to go to heaven on the updraft."
APPLY: You know, that's the purpose of church – to create an "updraft." By that I don't mean to say that going to church saves you – only blood of Jesus Christ can save you. But church was designed by God to be a place that would create an "updraft" for Christians. A place where we would be strengthened and empowered in our faith.
Hebrews 10:24-26 tells us "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another— and all the more as you see the Day approaching. If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left."
Notice that God created "church" to be a place where
… we are to encourage one another
… to challenge one another
… and to help one another deal with the struggles of life and the schemes of Satan
I. Church was to be a place where we practice "one anothering"
(thoughtfully…) "one anothering." God is big on "one anothering." Consider these passages:
Love one another (John 13:34)
Serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13)
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. (Romans 12:10)
Honor one another above yourselves. (Romans 12:10)
Live in harmony with one another (Romans 12:16)
Accept one another… just as Christ accepted you (Romans 15:7)
Be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32)
Bear with each other (Colossians 3:13)
Teach and admonish one another (Colossians 3:16)
Offer hospitality to one another (I Peter 4:9)
Encourage one another daily… so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. (Hebrews 3:13)
Build each other up (I Thessalonians 5:11)
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19)
II. That's a lot of "one anothering"
It would lead you to believe that that type of behavior was important to God! And if you believed that: you'd be right! Because the early church was built upon fellowship (REREAD Acts 2:42-47 and stress the examples of fellowship as you read).
ILLUS: I just read about a church building that was recently constructed in California costing over $160 million dollars. It was intended to be a cutting edge building designed by one of the leading architects of our age. It was, indeed, a huge, awesome sanctuary that was different than any other ever built. But one of the comments in the article caught my attention. This church building was "to offer a space where people fell more able to isolate themselves from daily life." One of the terms that the writer used to describe the building was that it reflected "monasticism." It's a cathedral built to help create a sense of solitude for the worshipper. A building designed to help the worshipper feel they were alone with their God.

text: Brothers and sisters, My dad died Sunday, and I wanted to share. He lost a tough fight with Leukemia, after having been in remission for a year. It came back and took him in about 3 weeks. We were having a big party (to say goodbye), and he died with his whole family (wife, mother, children, grandchildren - even his puppy) right there with him. No regrets for us - we had our chances to say I love you and goodbye -but I wanted to share what my dad meant to me. So if you'll indulge me... My father taught me what it is to be a man. Through his actions, not his words, he showed me things I wouldnt understand until later in life when I would need them the most. He taught me that knowledge is more important than education, and the thirst for knowledge is more important than either. He taught me to do something you love, because being happy is more important than money. My father taught me to work hard, do the very best you can at what you do, and strive to be the best you can be. "If you do something," hed say, "do it right." At the end of the day, the only thing others can know about you is how well you do your job, and how well you treat others. He taught me to treat others well. My father taught me what it is to be honest. Even when its difficult, being truthful is the honorable thing to do. He taught me to stand up for what you believe in. For yourself, for your family, and for those who cannot stand up for themselves. My father taught me the importance of commitment. When you make a promise, you keep it. Pure and simple. He taught me to provide for my family. Food and shelter are easy, time is much more difficult, and much more important. Most importantly, he taught me to laugh. Laughter sweetens the good times, makes great memories, and gets us through the toughest of times. My father didnt talk a lot during his life, but he gave me many lessons. Most of them I was too young, too stubborn or too proud to listen to at the time. He didnt stop teaching, and Im glad to say he didnt give up. I hope he understood that somewhere along the line, they sank in. I get it now, Dad. If anyone is really feeling inclined, please go donate a pint of blood. My pop recieved so many blood products in his fight, and they really made his life bearable. Failing that, you could always donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Association. Life is short, LiveStrong.

March 19, 1990
JOSE MERCADO, PETITIONER,v.ROBERT J. HENDERSON, SUPERINTENDENT, AUBURN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Mukasey, District Judge.
The above-captioned case having been referred to Magistrate Sharon E.
Grubin on July 15, 1986 to issue a report and recommendation as to
petitioner Jose Mercado's petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 2254, the Magistrate having filed and sent to the parties
on February 6, 1990, her Report and Recommendation and petitioner having
failed to submit any objections to that report, the Court affirms and
adopts the Magistrate's Report and Recommendation dated February 6,
1990. The application for a writ of habeas corpus is denied and the
petition is dismissed without prejudice because it contains both exhausted
and unexhausted claims.
Petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 2254
challenging his convictions after a jury trial in the New York State
Supreme Court, Bronx County, of murder in the second degree (felony
murder) (N.Y. Penal Law § 125.25(3)) and attempted robbery in the
first degree (N Y Penal Law §§ 110.00 and 160.15(2)). He
was sentenced to indeterminate concurrent terms of imprisonment of
fifteen-years to life on the felony murder count and five to
fifteen-years on the attempted robbery count. The Appellate Division,
First Department, affirmed the convictions without opinion. People v.
Mercado, 110 A.D.2d 1092, 488 N.Y.S, 2d 941 (1st Dep't 1985), and the New
York Court of Appeals denied leave to appeal, 65 N.Y.2d 818, 493 N Y
So.2d 1038, 482 N.E.2d 934 (1985). The petition asserts four grounds by
which petitioner's convictions were allegedly unconstitutional: (1) the
evidence was legally insufficient to support either conviction; (2) the
trial court erred in denying petitioner's motion for a severance; (3) the
misconduct of the prosecutor during summation denied petitioner a fair
trial; and (4) the trial court's instructions to the jury were inadequate
in two respects.*fn1
In response to the petition, respondent submitted an opposing
affidavit, a memorandum of law and the briefs that had been submitted to
the Appellate Division on petitioner's appeal which consist of briefs of
counsel and a supplemental brief submitted by petitioner pro se. Relying
on these documents, respondent's counsel asserts that this is a mixed
petition, i.e., one which presents both exhausted and unexhausted claims,
subject to dismissal pursuant to Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 102 S.Ct.
1198, 71 L.Ed.2d 379 (1982), because petitioner did not fairly present
the federal constitutional nature of his fourth claim to the state
courts. I agree and recommend dismissal without prejudice to refiling
after state court remedies have been exhausted.
As the fourth ground of the petition petitioner makes two claims with
respect to asserted deficiencies in the charge to the jury. The first is
that the state trial court failed to instruct the jury adequately to
consider the guilt or innocence of each co-defendant separately. The
second is that the state trial court failed to instruct the jury that the
evidence against petitioner
was entirely circumstantial. In opposition to the instant petition,
respondent contends correctly herein that these claims have not been
exhausted because petitioner presented them only in terms of state law in
his Appellate Division briefs and thus failed to alert the Appellate
Division that it was being asked to determine a federal constitutional
The federal habeas corpus statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2254, requires a
person in state custody to exhaust his state remedies before seeking
federal habeas corpus review. This rule is based on considerations of
comity between the federal and state courts, ensuring that the state
courts have an opportunity to consider and correct any violations of
their prisoners' federal constitutional rights. Picard v. Connor,
404 U.S. 270, 275, 92 S.Ct. 509, 512, 30 L.Ed.2d 438 (1971); Daye v.
Attorney General of the State of New York, 696 F.2d 186, 191 (2d Cir,
1982) (en bane), cert. denied, 464 U.s. 1048, 104 S.Ct. 723, 79 L.Ed.2d
184 (1984). Thus, exhaustion requires a petitioner to have presented to
the state courts the same federal constitutional claims, legally and
factually, he raises in his petition to the federal court so that the
state courts will have had the initial opportunity to pass on them.
Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. at 275-76, 92 S.Ct. at 512-13; Daye v.
Attorney General, etc., 696 F.2d at 191. See also Anderson v. Harless,
459 U.S. 4, 6, 103 S.Ct. 276, 277, 74 L.Ed.2d 3 (1982) (per curiam);
McGann v. State of New York, 870 F.2d 908, 910 (2d Cir. 1989); Morgan v.
Jackson, 869 F.2d 682, 684 (2d Cir. 1989). In Petrucelli v. Coombe,
735 F.2d 684, 687-88 (2d Cir. 1984), the Second Circuit explained:
Because non-constitutional claims are not cognizable
in federal habeas corpus proceedings, Smith v.
Phillips, 455 U.S. 209, 221, 102 S.Ct. 940, 948, 71
L.Ed.2d 78 (1982), a habeas petition[er] must put
state courts on notice that they are to
decide federal constitutional claims. See, e.g.,
Daye, 696 F.2d at 192. It is not necessary for a
habeas petitioner to cite "book and verse" of the
Constitution, id. (quoting Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270,
278, 92 S.Ct. 509, 513, 30 L.Ed, 2d 438 (1971)), but
adequate notice to the state courts that they are to
decide federal constitutional claims at least
(a) reliance on pertinent federal cases employing
constitutional analysis, (b) reliance on state cases
employing constitutional analysis in like fact
situations, (c) assertion of the claim in terms so
particular as to call to mind a specific right
protected by the Constitution, and (d) allegation of
a pattern of facts that is well within the
mainstream of constitutional litigation.
See also Waterhouse v. Rodriguez, 848 F.2d 375, 381 (2d Cir. 1988); Grady
v. LeFevre, 846 F.2d 862, 864 (2d Cir. 1988); Holland v. Scully,
797 F.2d 57, 64-65 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 870, 107 S.Ct. 237,
93 L.Ed.2d 162 (1986). The briefs submitted to the Appellate Division for
petitioner on this point do not contain material falling into any of the
Daye categories. Because petitioner had not objected at trial to the jury
instructions, the brief submitted by counsel asked the Appellate Division
to exercise discretion to order a new trial in the interest of justice as
permitted by N Y Crim.Proc.Law § 470.15(6)(a).*fn2 Thus, the claims
presented did not raise federal constitutional law. See Gordon v. Kelly,
Civ. No. 89-1907 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 7, 1989) (1989 WL 92043); Castillo v.
Abrams, No. 88 Civ. 1165 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 24, 1988) (1988 WL 96026) (1988
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9448); Kennedy v. Fogg, 468 F. Supp. 671, 673 (S.D.N.Y.
1979). Cf. Gayle v. LeFevre, 613 F.2d 21, 22 n. 3 (2d Cir. 1980)
(determinations pursuant to N.Y.Crim.Proc.Law § 470.15(3), which
permits an intermediate New York state appellate court to reverse or
modify a judgment as a matter of discretion
in the interest of justice, constitute exercises of the appellate court's
supervisory powers and are not dictated by constitutional
considerations). Interestingly, in arguing his claim herein petitioner
urges constitutional analysis and uses language that is notably absent
from his Appellate Division papers. It seems reasonable to infer that the
difference in argument is the result of petitioner's awareness that to
present a claim herein, it must be one of constitutional dimension, and
the comparison between his papers here and his papers at the Appellate
Division serves to underscore the fact that his argument to the state
court was not presented in such terms. Thus, petitioner argues herein
that the trial court's instructions relieved the prosecution of its
burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; that they "so infected
petitioner's trial that the resulting conviction violates due process of
law;" that they violated "the Due Process Clause of the United States
Constitution . . .;" and he cites such cases as United States v. Frady,
456 U.S. 152, 102 S.Ct. 1584, 71 L.Ed.2d 816 (1982) and Cupp v.
Naughten, 414 U.S. 141, 94 S.Ct. 396, 38 L.Ed.2d 368 (1973). See
Petitioner's "Supplemental Memorandum in Support of Petition for a Writ
of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. 2254" at 29-32. In stark
contrast, his Appellate Division arguments did not cite the United States
Constitution and contained citations only to state law authority.
In response to respondent's having raised petitioner's failure to
exhaust this claim, petitioner in a reply submission has argued that the
state courts were alerted to a constitutional claim because: (1) he
argued that these errors in the jury instructions deprived him of a "fair
trial;" (2) the state, after arguing that the errors had not been
preserved under New York law and were, in any event, meritless, cited to
People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230, 367 N.Y, So.2d 213, 326 N.E.2d 787
(1975); and (3) his brief to the Appellate Division included a partial
quotation from People v. Benzinger, 36 N.Y.2d 29, 364 N.Y.S.2d 855,
324 N.E.2d 334 (1974). Disposing of these arguments in reverse order,
they are all meritless for the following reasons. As noted above,
petitioner's notice to the state court that it is to decide a federal
constitutional claim must he on the same facts and the same claim raised
in the petition and not some other claim. While Benzinger contained
certain constitutional analysis, it was with respect to a different issue
than that for which petitioner cited the case, and his quotation from it
had no concern with federal constitutional law. There was no discussion
in Benzinger of errors with respect to jury instructions, much less the
type of jury instructions of which petitioner complains here. In
Crimmins, the New York Court of Appeals discussed harmless error under
the federal Constitution and the decisional law of New York in a case
where a federal constitutional ...

The Board of Directors represents a cross-section of the community. Through policy making and leadership, they are committed to empowering others toward the realization of our mission statement.
Community volunteers provide Hope House with necessary household support while offering residents physical and psycho-social support.
Operating expenses are only partly covered by governmental agency reimbursements. For the rest, we depend on the generosity of faith communities, organizations, individual and memorial donations, as well as fund-raising events.
If you share our commitment and can give time, talents or money to providing dignity and love to people living with HIV/AIDS, please call us. If you know of someone who might be interested in living at Hope House, please contact us. We welcome your input and support.
Increase the value of your donation of MONEY or TIME:
Thousands of companies will match individual donations or award time and talent grants for your volunteer time. If your company does not offer a Matching Gift or Time and Talent Grant program, talk with the company and encourage them to do so!
Many corporations will make a donation to an organization if you volunteer a minimum number of hours (generally 20-50, depending on your company) in one year. This is a great way for a company to show that your involvement in the community is important. Check with your human resources office to obtain a time and talent grant form. Deadlines for form completion often apply. Contact your human resources department to find out if your employer issues Time and Talent Grants.
