I spent the day with my daughter doing everything she wanted to do. "How is that different from any other day" you may ask. It isn't. I would be kidding myself to think or state otherwise. I value honesty too much to try and hide the truth. I did learn several things today however. Allow me to share:
1.) My dad (aka "Papa") has been abducted by aliens. My mom ("Yaya") probably has been, too. I know this because in the entire time I have known these too people I have never been able to breathe into their faces the breath of 10,000 rotting possums and say "Will you buy me a Barbie pool?" and have either of them hand me twice the amount of money for toy. My Barbie (that I had to SHARE with my sister) swam in a plastic puke bin from the hospital and lived in a cardboard box----and she was grateful, dangit.
2.) Barbie pools aren't as fun after 4hrs of non-stop play at 37 as they would have been at say, 29!!
3.) I never got a canopy bed, either.
4.) My husband probably won't get me a canopy bed.
5.) I might be in need of counseling!!
6.) Barbies do not swim naked. Even if Ken is nowhere to be found all Barbies must wear swim suits.
7.) It is not easy to find a Barbie swim suit when people are screaming at you and everything is stuck together with tiny bits of velcro.
8.) Not all Barbies have the same bust size. Sometimes the top just will not go on.
9.) My kid may have some hidden anger. Her Barbies "played" in the pool like female wrestlers on crack.
10.) You cannot drown a Barbie. No matter how long you hold her little plastic butt underwater she'll just keep smiling.
11.) Barbie pools can leak enough to soak a new pair of Levis (also purchased by Alien Yaya) and a wheelchair seat---but never run out of enough water to avoid the fun of waterboarding good ol' Barbie.
12.) My kid is funny and lucky to have my parents as grandparents. I love seeing them together!
In other new---The CCAA referred 4 days worth of referrals this month--actually less than that because two of the four were weekend. That's 28 days short of 30. Not good. Please continue to pray for a speed-up.
Ben and I went to www.starfishfosterhome.org and fell in love. Go check out some adorable little muffins. Pray for us as we consider God's will regarding the Waiting Child List and whether that is where our little Maisy may be.
Survivor is back. I'm an addict. Right now I'm liking Taj and JT. Bobby says that I'm a curse. Usually, as soon as I start cheering someone on---They're voted off.
Bobby is doing very well shooting trap and skeet in 4H. He should have some competitions coming up soon.
Please continue to pray for Maisy and her birth mother. Please remember the Christians in China. They are called upon almost daily to defend their faith.
And know this, if I have told you that I will remember you in prayer---I'm on it.
With much love. May you know that PEACE that PASSES UNDERSTANDING.

Waterboarding Barbie...
Friday, February 20, 2009
I meant to write this post the day before Valentines Day. I didn't make it. We had a nice little holiday. Ben got me a dozen pink roses, a box of my favorite candy, a cookie cake, and two cards, one of which plays a Chicago classic. We have reached that age where we embarass our kids for kicks and they fall for it every time---SHEER GREATNESS!! All we have to do is kiss or do some of our 1980's dance moves and Bobby covers his eyes and screams "happy place, happy place." It's cheap entertainment! We also took the kids out to eat the traditional Valentines meal of pancakes. Yes it is. Check your tradition manual.
In the whole Valentine vein I keep going back to the 43rd chapter of Isaiah which says:
I just keep reading that passage (Isaiah 43: 1-13) over and over. It is my Valentine from the Lord. I know that He is working for my good and will bring our little Maisy home. He is unaffected by statistics (thanks for the reminder, Meredith) and I am so blessed to be a witness to His glory and grace.
Oh, I almost forgot---We also watched the movie FIREPROOF for Valentines Day. I must say it was awesome. I recommend it to all my friends----married or not.
The CCAA is currently matching babies to parents. Please join me in praying for 30+ days of referrals in this group. I believe that God is at work in the halls of the CCAA and across the nation of China.
We are currently in the process of renewing our I-171H for USCIS. Our first one will expire in May (they are only good for 18 months) and we don't want to miss our free renewal. We have new background checks, medical checks and references (had to be new ones---so don't feel slighted if we asked you last time you couldn't do it this time!) We have to have a new home visit as well. Everything has been mailed and now we're just waiting on stuff to come back so we can file the form with USCIS and get fingerprinted. For some people this is a hassle but I'm happy to have something to do that is adoption related.
This is LID month 14 for us. Please continue to pray that we will receive Maisy's referral soon.
And I leave you with this----On Monday, as we were waiting for Bobby to get out of Boy Scouts, Abby kept telling me that "Jesus loves me" I responded "Jesus loves everybody." Her response? "Why?" And truthfully, I don't know. I cannot comprehend the love that compelled my Savior to die for me on the cross and to absorb my sin. He paid my debt with his blood because I couldn't pay it. That is love.
Happy Valentines Day. May you know True Love. It will set you free.

The Perfect Gift
I woke up this morning annoyed and determined to vent the reason for said annoyance on this blog. I was pretty convinced that I was fueled by righteous indignation (not jealousy, frustration, sadness or impatience-----yeah, right). See, this entire blog was going to be concerned with my feelings regarding those who already have two or three children adopted from China and are currently in the process of adopting another one. The families that I am aware of (and DO NOT know personally) often have debts left to pay on previous adoptions and are seeking financial assistance to facilitate their current adoption costs. My initial reaction was "How dare they! If they cannot afford to pay for their own previous adoption costs what gives them the right to ask others for assistance to adopt another child? How do they even take care of the children they have?" HMMMM....besides the obvious factor of this being absolutely NONE OF MY BUSINESS I have to ask myself "What difference does it make to me?" "Why am I so angry?"
It took some soul searching and I think it comes down to ego and jealousy. People make choices that I would not make. That's just a statement of fact. How other people manage their finances is none of my business. I can feel superior in my ability to pinch a penny until Lincoln sues for sexual harrassment but that is it. This then leads to the jealousy ( I knew I said it wasn't a motivating sentiment but, c'mon, I think we all know the truth...) Because some of the families who have multiple adopted children from China have adopted from the Waiting Child List many of them will have completed an adoption in less time than Ben and I have been in the process---BY A LONG SHOT. But, hey, the WCL is open to us too. It's our decision--- and just because we don't choose to go that route right now (we're not saying we would never consider the WCL) does not mean other people aren't choosing the journey that is right and blessed for them.
I'm just weary in the wait. On the 17th of this month we will have been LID for 14 months. On my birthday next month we will have been "in the process" for two years. I'm just feeling all two years of it right now. Would I change my mind? No way. Maisy is in China and we will WAIT FOR GOD TO BRING OUR BABY HOME.
Speaking of birthdays....The kids and I were waiting for Ben in the van outside of the grocery store the other day...just chillin' and listening to KLOVE. I'm sure I was singing along while Bobby was talking about various and sundry. Folks, I've gotta be able to multi-task because my darlin' son TALKS ALL THE TIME!! Anyway, He says "I've decided what to get you for your birthday, Mama. "Hmmmmm, okay" I reply with not enough enthusiasm I'm sure. "Can I use your name on the radio?" he asks. "What?" My son then tells me that for my b-day he wants to call my favorite Christian radio station and ask everyone to pray on his mama's birthday that God would bring his baby sister home from China. The baby asked me "Would that be a good present, Mama?" Once I got a grip and quit sucking snot I told my son that there is no better gift than to know that people are praying for you, especially when those people are your children. Now wasn't that precious?! And, FYI--If you believe in prayer and would consider lifting my precious Maisy up to the Lord on my birthday---well, it beats a Hallmark card! March 23rd is the day!
But now I shall write the DENOUMENT (term courtesy of my nerdy English major persona). Children, regardless of how you get them or who brings them into this world, are a blessing. The packaging may not always be what we expect or even what we think we want or are entitled to (entitlement, what a hoot) but I assure you, they are gift that can come only from God. Isn't it interesting that the Messiah could have come as an adult, a warrior, a king---but instead came as a baby. Isn't it interesting that people get pregnant every day but have no creative license in the baby they deliver. Isn't it interesting that I got angry over how God was leading someone else in the journey to find their child. What a gift children are. It isn't time for our gift to come yet. But I promise you I won't begrudge anyone else theirs----that's pretty hard to do when you aren't THE GIFT GIVER.
May God grant you the desires of your heart,
Dedicated with love to my son and daughter, Bobby and Abby and in great anticipation to my daughter, Maisy----Wonderful gifts from God.

This article will try to give some hints for checking out the modularized Qt5 from git and getting it built. Please feel free to update this article as things change during development. Raise issues related to the article via: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/7018
You need git (>= 1.6.x) to get the packages.
To properly configure and build Qt 5 from source you also need Perl (>=5.14) and Python (>=2.6.x), as well as a working compiler.
To enable SSL support in Qt, see: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtnetwork/ssl.html
For more information regarding platform requirements, see: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/requirements.html
Note: Thanks to Gabor Loki, we have a custom PPA with a meta package "sedkit-env-webkit" that installs all required dependencies for the latest Qt/Qt WebKit builds. You can find it here – https://launchpad.net/~u-szeged/+archive/sedkit – or just add the PPA by issuing on the console:
Libxcb [xcb.freedesktop.org] is now the default window-system backend for platforms based on X11/Xorg, and you should therefore install libxcb and its accompanying packages. Qt5 should build with whatever libxcb version is available in your distro's packages (but you may optionally wish to use v1.8 or higher to have threaded rendering support). src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README [qt.gitorious.org] lists the required packages.
On Chakra Linux, other than packages mentioned for ArchLinux, you need to install package xcb-util-keysyms separately. It's available from CCR.
For Qt Quick 2 a graphics driver with native OpenGL 2.0 support is highly recommended.
It is recommended to build with accessibility enabled, install libatspi 2 and libdbus-1 development packages.
When you want to compile WebKit, more dependencies need to be satisfied:
You'll need at least alsa-lib (>= 1.0.15) and gstreamer (>=0.10.24, but <1.0 for now [lists.qt-project.org]) with the base-plugins package.
Install the latest Xcode from the App Store. Verify that your Xcode install is properly set up for command line use:
This should give you eg:
You can verify that the right Xcode is being used by running:
If this points to /Developer you're probably using an older Xcode version. Switch to the latest one by running:
QML2 requires OpenGL 2.1 or higher or Open GL ES 2.0 to work.
In Windows, two options are available:
A copy of ANGLE is bundled in Qt 5. To use Option 1, you need to install the DirectX SDK [msdn.microsoft.com] (Note: Starting from Windows Kit 8, this is included in the Windows SDK).
To use Option 2, you need to ensure that your graphics card driver supports OpenGL 2.1 or higher (Note: The stock Windows driver only supports OpenGL 1.1, which is insufficient), and pass `-opengl desktop' to configure.exe.
We recommend creating a command prompt that provides the build environment (see the Qt Creator README [qt.gitorious.org] ). In this environment,Python (e.g. Active Python 2.7 later) and Perl (e.g. Active State Perl 5.12 or later) should be in the PATH.
Get Perl from: http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads [activestate.com]
Get Python from: http://www.python.org/download/releases/ [python.org]
Get Ruby from: http://www.rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ [rubyinstaller.org]
Hint: Make sure that Perl is added to the path in front of git since that ships an outdated version (Perl 5.8), which will cause the scripts to fail.
Multicore building: To speed up building when using nmake, the compiler can be instructed to use all available CPU cores in one of the following ways:
set CL=/MP)
Qt 5 can make use of the ICU [site.icu-project.org] library for UNICODE and Globalization support. This is required for building Qt WebKit. You can use precompiled versions of ICU with a Visual Studio 2010 dependency from the website, or compile ICU on your own .
At compile time, the absolute paths of include and lib folders of the ICU installation must be appended to INCLUDE and LIB environment variables after calling the setup script of the Windows SDK.
At run-time, the ICU DLLs need to be found. This can be achieved by copying the DLLs to the application folder or adding the bin folder of the ICUinstallation to the PATH environment variable.
First clone the top-level Qt 5 git repository:
or (if you're behind a firewall and want to use the https protocol):
Then check out the target branch (see Branch-Guidelines ):
Following the README.git [qt.gitorious.org] – file we initialize the repository using the script init-repository which clones the various sub-modules of Qt 5. Relevant options:
--no-webkit : Consider skipping qtwebkit by passing this option. This module is quite big, takes a long time to compile and if often a source of compile errors, so it is recommend to only download it if you intend to use it. You can always re-run init-repository later on to add it.
--http : Pass this option if you're behind a firewall.
--codereview-username <Jira/Gerrit username> : If you plan to contribute to Qt, you should specify your codereview username so that the git remotes are properly set up.
The Qt5 build system should be fairly resilient against any "outside distractions" – it shouldn't matter whether you have other Qt versions in PATH, andQTDIR is entirely ignored. However, make sure that you have no qmake-specific environment variables like QMAKEPATH or QMAKEFEATURES set, and the qmake -query output does not refer to any other Qt versions ($HOME/.config/Trolltech/QMake.conf should be empty).
Configure the build (from top level dir). Disabling tests and examples will greatly speed up compilation:
For Linux/Mac OS X:
For Windows:
-developer-build options export more symbols than in a traditional Qt build in order to allow more classes and functions to be unit tested. It also defaults to a 'debug' build, and installs the binaries in the current directory, avoiding the need for 'make install'. '-opensource' sets the license to beLGPL 2.1. The
-nomake examples and
-nomake tests parameters make sure examples and tests aren't compiled by default. You can always decide to compile them later by hand.
-no-gtkstyle. This is because on a number of systems (at least SUSE and Gentoo)
pkg-config —cflags gtk+-2.0 actually returns paths that include the system Qt 4.x include directories.
-confirm-license to get rid of the question whether you agree to the license.
sh.exe is in your PATH (for example due to a git or msys installation). Such an error is indicated by
qt5-srcqtbasebinqmake.exe: command not found and alike. In this case, make sure that
sh.exe is not in your path. You will have to re-configure if your installation is already configured.
Now trigger the build by running:
For Linux / Mac OS X:
For Windows (MSVC), choose one of the following, depending on your setup/environment:
Or only build a specific module, e.g. declarative, and modules it depends on:
Linux, Mac
The tools bison, flex, gperf and ruby are required for building.
WebKit.org [trac.webkit.org] has instructions for building WebKit on Windows. ICU [site.icu-project.org] is required for building.
The tools bison, flex and gperf which are required for building are provided for convenience in the folder gnuwin32\bin. If you are using shadow builds, you must add this directory to your
PATH, else no special actions need to be done manually in order to use them.
In addition you need to install Ruby [ruby-lang.org]
-developer-build or
-prefix "PWD/qtbase". Otherwise you can just use Qt from the build directory.
To install, run
To get a really clean tree use:
since make confclean no longer works from the top-level of the repo.
To update both the qt5.git repo as well as the submodules to the list of revisions that are known to work, run
If you are planning to do nightly builds, consider using the script qt5_tool that lives in qtrepotools/bin. It provides options for updating the repository, cleaning and building. For example,
qt5_tool -u -c -b can be used to clean, update and build.
qt5_tool -p -c – b would be used to pull all modules to the head of their master branches.
Depending upon what changed in the source since it was last updated you might have to run configure again. To be really sure everything gets built, you can run clean first, then configure and make.
git submodule update does a checkout in submodules, potentially hiding any local commits you've done! If the latter happened to you (and you haven't been working with branches anyhow),
git reflog is your friend ….
git clean often fails if some process locks a file or folder.
By default the checkout will not contain the latest stable/dev branches of each individual submodule repository, but a combination of versions that are known to work together. If you want to get the absolute latest stuff you can do so on a per-module basis, e.g.
or use qt5_tool to update all repositories:
However, there's a good chance that compilation will fail due to incompatible versions of submodules! You might want to ask other persons actively working on a module how to resolve these incompatibilities.
You should install the libxcb and it's accompanying packages, see 'System Requirements'.
Your perl version is too old, Qt 5 beta1 needs at least 5.14.
Try installing the libx11-xcb-dev package:
afterwards you have to re-run configure and force qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb to recompile.
Currently there is no configure time check for ICU, so install it through the package manager through
This occours when you attempt to build Qt 5 with GCC 4.7 while D-Bus < 1.4.20 is present on your system. (For example, the default Fedora 17 installation is prone to this error.) The error message is this:
Note: The error is in the header files of D-Bus itself, and it has been fixed upstream, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46147
Solution: either upgrade to a newer version of D-Bus or edit that one line of the header file manually.
C++11 support is detected while your GCC doesn't properly support it
Fixed by passing
Currently unresolved bug with the build of assembly files, see discussion at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.devel/5933
Fixed by passing
Bug with GCC versions < 4.4.x, see bug report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493929
Fixed by adding
Compiling v8 in qtbase requires Python. Make sure you have a python.exe in your %PATH%, go to qtjsbackend, run qmake && nmake.
Set the environment variable
QT_QPA_VERBOSE=gl:1 and run the application with DebugView [technet.microsoft.com] installed. The log will show the requested vs obtained OpenGL version. If the log tells you that it only has OpenGL 1.1, QML2 will not work. Note that qmlscene will not report errors about unsupported OpenGL versions.

Do not take you SME arm apart to change the wiring. You will nver get it back together. I have had both and both sound wonderful. I think the Vi might be a better arm becuase it is a much simpler design the V does have better wire
SME IV.Vi or V tonearm: different internal wiring
I might have a problem with my SME IV.Vi's internal wiring(Magnan Vi). Naturally, I would be somewhat apprehensive about replacing it with different wire. I understand SME no longer uses the Magnan Vi. I'd appreciate any impressions you SME IV.Vi or V owners might have who have rewired with Cardas, Discovery or any other brand. Specifically, how do any of these compare soundwise with the Magnan Vi? Thanks very much.

Support the Metro Cleaners! - 26 May 2012
- Details
- Created: Tuesday, 19 June 2012 14:01
- Written by Newcastle FRFI
On Saturday 26th May 2012 supporters of FRFI joined more than 50 people in a protest in solidarity with the Churchill Metro cleaners. The action was called by the Anti Cuts Network and along with the RMT, Socialist Party, North East Anarchists, Alliance for Workers Liberty and independent activists they took to the Tyne and Wear Metro to protest against attacks on the cleaners pay and conditions and against victimisation and job losses.
They handed out leaflets to the passengers, spoke to them about the struggle and asked them to sign letters of support to be later handed in to the Transport Authority. The police and some of the DB Regio Metro staff attempted to stop leaflets being handed out and even stop activists speaking to passengers! They claimed there is a by-law on the Metro which prohibits passengers from being 'pestered'. Activists persisted and with a strategy of getting on and off Metros and splitting up, the police and DB Regio staff gave up and left. No arrests were made. There was a lot of support form the passengers, with no reports of anyone feeling pestered.
Metro was part privatised and sub-contracted out to German company DB Regio in 2010, this company has in turn contacted out cleaning services to private company Churchill.
The cleaners are one of the worst paid staff on the Metro, getting the bare minimum wage of £6.08 an hour. Despite Churchill's profits increasing year on year and jumping by more than 80% last year, after recent negotiations with the Transport Union RMT they returned an offer of a 0% pay increase and claimed this was 'generous'. This is an effective pay cut to already poverty levels of pay when you take in to consideration the increased cost of living.
On top of this the cleaners have no sick-pay scheme, no pension scheme, no free travel on the system they keep clean (this is quite rightly enjoyed by other Metro staff) and Churchill have threatened to scrap paid meal breaks and change pay to monthly rather than weekly. One cleaner has been sacked for complaining about short staffing and excessive workloads in the comments section on a company form.
These kinds of attacks will continue as the economic crisis worsens. On top of the cuts to public services the government's war on the working class includes privatisation, job losses, pushing down wages, conditions and rights as well as increased military intervention and support for occupations abroad so that more profits can be squeezed from the working class internationally. If we are to be successful there needs to be a sustained fight back which links up the different struggles against the British state from Tyne and Wear to Tripoli and the West Bank and which puts socialism at the centre as the only alternative to imperialist exploitation and domination.
In the campaign to obtain free travel passes for the Churchill Cleaners from Nexus there was another protest called by the RMT and joined by FRFI supporters on Thursday 31st May 2012 outside Newcastle Civic Centre during the annual meeting of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA). Churchill refused to give leave to most of the cleaners so they were unable to attend, this was another attempt to stamp out dissent and united action. Around 30 people attended early in the morning where a big pile of letters was handed in to a reluctant senior member of the ITA.
In the fight for better pay and against the victimisation of workers, including the cleaner who was sacked, RMT members have voted overwhelmingly in support of strike action in three separate ballots (between 70 and 100%).
All DB Regio RMT members working on the Tyne & Wear Metro to strike on Thursday 7th and Thursday 21st June 2012. Churchill cleaners to strike between 10.30pm on Sunday 10th June and 10.30pm on Tuesday 12th June 2012 and no overtime to be worked during this time.
For more information and frequent updates visit: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Campaign-for-Tyne-Wear-Cleaners/172330572839588
Support the cleaners! Support the strike! End poverty pay! No to victimisation!
Please put your name to the letter below and email to Churchill Cleaning Services
I _________________________ write to you to register my 100% support for the dispute of the Churchill cleaners on the Tyne and Wear Metro, this includes backing all strike action they take.
I am a regular user of Metro and I am appalled to find out about how the cleaning staff are being treated by Churchill. I will consider boycotting Metro if the cleaners' demands are not met.
Despite Churchill's profits soaring by 81% last year, the decision to sell off Metro cleaning to private contractors means the cleaners suffer many detriments in terms and conditions, wages and travel facilities. Cleaning staff are on minimum wage, they have created Churchill's profits, they do not deserve terms and conditions of employment to be smashed in the interests of greed by this employer.
I support the Cleaners' demands:
Increased pay
The company has offered no percentage increase at all to the minimum wage staff, who earn just £6.08 an hour.
The re-instatement of the cleaner who was sacked for complaining about short staffing
Better terms, conditions and facilities including decent sick-pay and pension arrangements
No cuts to hours and paid breaks
No job losses
In a letter to Labour MP's across Tyne and Wear a Churchill boss threatened to look at job cuts if he could not scrap paid meal breaks to boost profits.
The provision of free leisure travel to Churchill Tyne and Wear Metro Cleaners
Other Tyne and Wear Metro staff, including Nexus and DB Regio staff, quite rightly enjoy this travel facility. It should be rolled out to all Metro staff.
Amnesty from facing any disciplinary proceedings because of taking part in political activity around this dispute

Kelechi Nwakali has confirmed several clubs have enquired about signing him on loan from Arsenal.
But the Nigerian midfielder insists he will not be making a move to Norwegian side Viking.
Arsenal signed Nwakali from Diamond Football Academy for £3million earlier this month but he has not been granted a work permit and is set to be loaned out for first team experience.
Yesterday, Nigerian website Own Goal Nigeria claimed Viking were in talks with Arsenal over a loan move but Nwakali has hinted a move to Holand is most likely to happen.
"It is not true I am joining Viking," Nwakali told All Nigeria Soccer.
"There are clubs in Holland who have asked about me but Viking is a lie."
Nwakali is currently with Arsenal's academy but he can only train with his new side as he waits for a work permit.
Arsenal confirmed when announcing his arrival that the 18-year-old would be loaned out in the near future and they could look to push through a deal before Wednesday's transfer deadline if no permit is granted.
Nwakali's brother and agent has also been adamant that a move to Norway is not on the cards.
"The information that he is joining Viking is fake, Kelechi is at Arsenal, training and working hard," Allwell Nwakali said.
"If Arsenal can't get him a work permit, he will go where we want him to go.
"How can I be approached by clubs in Holland and France and allow him to sign for Viking."

Dear friends. I hope you are well. Kahlil Gibran said 'Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.' When I was a young child I was always throwing off my shoes; I had already taken in that it was not allowed to throw off my clothes. It always felt lovely and natural to feel the grass and the bare earth on my feet and between my toes.
I remember as a young adult walking alone through the muddy creeks on the North Norfolk coast between Morston and Stiffkey, the mud squelching through my toes. It transported me out of my thinking and down into my body, reuniting me in an instant, body and soul, with nature. How far we have come away from our nature, and from Nature, in the pursuit of fitting in with someone else's idea of behaving properly or "proply" as David Cameron says.
Thank God I came across Encounter Groups and Osho's teachings as a young, immature and insecure adult. Through all the years of growing up and fitting in, somewhere in my core I did not completely surrender. Stepping into the greater freedom of being an adult, though not free within, I began the long and arduous journey of reclaiming all that I had given away and all that I had taken on from those around me. I know my parents did their best with whatever they had experienced in their growing up. I was never into blaming them, nor those that persecuted me at boarding school. What I was really interested in was making the most of my life. When I say making the most of life I mean choosing Love as a basis for living – whatever I am doing. As far back as I can remember, love and being loving was all I was really interested in, whatever I was doing.
Realising that I could gradually transform my life, glimpsing the possibilities, opened a deep and profound longing within me to become the master of my own destiny. I didn't really know what that meant for a long long time, yet something within me was urging me on. I realised I was the only one who could make it happen and it would also take time to grow within me. From little acorns grow mighty oaks as they say. I sought out people along the way who were key in helping me to move forward. It took much longer than I ever imagined and after many years I realised I would never get there, that I am on a life-long journey, that it really is a dance. I am deeply grateful for all those fellow travellers along the way, cheering each other on. For me the journey is for ever, until my last breath and then beyond. For me there is always more to open into, to expand into, and I will 'dance' this life with you all the way.
Love and intimacy are at the heart of my journey. I have always loved. I don't remember anyone being physically lovingly intimate with me as I grew up. I don't have the cellular memory that tells me this happened. I don't remember experiencing the loving physical feeling and warmth of loving intimacy – that which your being knows and which you can count on. I carried deep and abiding fears about closeness and I learned to live with little or none, but the longing for intimacy continued and a numb ache for it was always there. For a long time mine was a very isolating experience and one of survival.
It is from these very wounds, driven on by my longing and glimpses of what is possible that I have gradually found my way through my fears. Through the many workshops and individual work over the years I had sufficient experiences that opened me into the profound gifts of intimacy. Osho said it is not Hate that is the opposite of Love, it is Fear that is the opposite of Love and I understand this now. It was through encountering and moving through my fear that I have been able to allow intimacy into my life. I am not here talking about sex. Intimacy is an utterly different quality of experience and for me is an expression of love lived in any number of aspects of our daily life. When we are intimately connected within ourselves then all our relationships are transformed, and in the area of sex the all too often mechanical, repetitive and disconnectedness of sex can be transformed into profoundly loving sexual intimacy the depth and breadth of which is beyond words. I am not talking about romantic love either. That is more like a blind sickness that we can fall into – trust the words – falling in love, love sick, sick with love! What I am pointing to is something utterly different and is why I offer the Opening to Intimacy Residential workshops twice a year, the next one taking place over Easter, 25th-28th March 2016
See also The Making Love Retreat for Couples in 2016
This is a universal gift available to everyone because we all come into the world as intimate beings. So it is more about peeling away all the un-useful ways we have learned to avoid intimacy, and to re-connect with and nurture these intimate qualities within us. Like everything of value in life, to ground this in reality and make substantial takes time, attention and commitment for these aspects of being alive as human beings to come into a full flowering. So I invite as many of you to come to these workshops if you possibly can. It's all about the making-of-love-together in the world. You may have noticed this taking place on the dance floor at some class or another, or at the Field of Love. You may see and feel the quality of what I am endeavouring to convey in these very photos.
I know it is not just women who long for more intimacy in their lives. If anything I think it is a more urgent need in men because we men have learned to do without intimacy and have learned to seek it more through sex. It is partly linked to the appalling ways boys are told not to feel their vulnerability and be tough like a man – whatever that means. I think man needs to have the full range of his capacities alive and available within himself including his vulnerability and his tenderness. Otherwise we condemn ourselves to not know how to relate to woman, or man for that matter. So men especially, and of course women too, if you want to bring more depth of intimacy into your life and into your relating come to this Opening to Intimacy workshop. Bookings for Opening to Intimacy are now coming in. Why not join us on this journey.

Is Justice Really Blind?
Mr. Young
13 October 2012
Is Justice Really Blind?
The United States of America bases its whole judicial system around "blind justice" but is justice always blind? Since day one, justice has been portrayed as impartial. Ronald Nikkel says the U.S judicial system is represented by an elegant lady holding a set of scales in one hand and a sword in her other, while wearing a blindfold. She carries the balances symbolizing fairness and the sword symbolizing power and authority, and she wears the blindfold, symbolizing objective justice for all people, without preference or discrimination, regardless of identity, wealth, power, social status, position, or circumstances ("Justice is not Blind"). However, is this always the case?
In countless cases, the verdict does not seem as if Lady Justice is truly blind. No matter what is said, trial by jury has its flaws. The article "Justice is Not Blind" says, "It is not only the accused who can be wrongfully treated by the justice system; victims also suffer the consequence of injustice when wealthy offenders with powerful connections simply get a slap on the wrist instead of being held responsible to face the consequences of their crimes" (Nikkel). Flaws in the jury system affect everyone. The judicial system needs to reformed, society has evolved over time, yet the judicial process has not kept up. Justice needs to be done without bias, where fairness is not just a forensic technicality and where consideration is the same for all persons regardless of race, religion, creed, or social standing (Nikkel). The most infamous example of our corrupt judicial system is the trial of Orenthal James Simpson also known as O.J. Simpson. The O.J. Simpson murder trial is one of the most controversial court cases in the last decade. In 1995 O.J. Simpson was put on trial for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her male friend Richard Goldman. From the outside looking in many people thought O.J. Simpson...

Church seeks public's input on making Wareham stronger, healthier
From sheltering the homeless to feeding the hungry, the Church of the Good Shepherd already offers many programs for those less fortunate. However, there's more work to be done according to Rev. Dan Bernier.
In an effort to make Wareham a stronger, healthier community, church leaders are asking the public to share their joys, concerns and dreams regarding the town.
"We want to know what people think and how they feel about Wareham," said Rev. Dan Bernier, the church's pastor. "What are the strengths of Wareham, and what are some of the ways we could be stronger as a community?"
To do just that, Bernier said residents are invited to participate in a 30 minute interview with someone from the church. Based on the answers, parishioners will find a specific project they can plan and implement, in partnership with other community organizations.
"We value your input into how you believe we can make the Wareham community stronger and healthier," said Bernier.
For more information or to express an interest in being interviewed, call the Church of the Good Shepherd at 508-295-2840.

Feature: Badjaws in our midst
There were Benito, a tall and lean boy, Purita, a petite girl, Alibangsa, with set of well filed white teeth and others I can no longer remember their names. They were my classmates in school, my friends. They were scholars of the School Director then Fr. Henry Lavalee, OMI (RIP) and they were Badjaos!
In those years during elementary (1979-1985), Badjao pupils and students were common sightings in school. They played with us, conversed with us, they were ordinary students who were part of our daily encounter, a part of our society. They participated in field demonstrations/ kalesthenics during Notre Dame Day celebrations. In fact I had a picture (grade 5) where one of my Badjao classmates was right behind me dancing just like the rest of us. Unfortunately they did not finish their secondary schooling. They simply vanished without a trace while some of them settled down. I do still meet them once in a while.
Few years back when I was still working as a staff nurse at Holy Family Hospital, I came across with Alibangsa. We had a short chit-chat and later she told me she had named one of her daughters after me. Yes she had a daughter named Christine. A manifestation that the friendship we had was genuine and not a charade.
With the changing of time, today there seem to be no more Badjao Pupils/students enrolled in Notre Dame. But here at Luuk Bangka ES where they composed majority of the population. This is their school within their own community. The teachers and school nurse must have a compassionate heart to teach them and lead them to a new future. Knowing that this group of people has a culture of their own, it needs a lot of perseverance, understanding and love in order to get across with them.
The question now is: How far will this new generation of Badjao pupils/students continue their education? Will education change their views of life? Because as I observed they live a very simple life with simple wants; they have a house built originally by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) of the Apostolic Vicariate of Sulu-Tawi-Tawi exclusively as a low -cost housing project for them. Beyang ( referring to a lady friend) and Sehe ( a man) earn a penny through selling fresh fish and sea shells around the neighborhood to buy a meal of cassava/rice and viand for the day satisfy them plus a game of volleyball in the late afternoon, voila they survived and seemed to be happy. They do not crave for more. They have their pride and strive for their own living. However, with the changing of time, some Badjao kids are asking for alms at the downtown are, in malls/department stores mimicking those at the urban areas which is not a practice before.
Will there be a teacher or a nurse coming from their ranks in the future to add to the likes of Teksan ( a Badjao who finished College at MSU TCTO Bongao assisted by the OMI and now a DepEd employee)? That is for us to hope. After all these Badjaos are equally the same with us.They are Filipinos who have the rights and privileges akin to us as citizens of this republic. Like all the other marginalized sectors or communities, they too deserve the love and respect of the government and of the people. (Tinsangkula/DepEd Tawi-Tawi).
1 comment:
Truly indeed its a challenge for us in the DepED, most specially those directly teaching them, to motivate and inspire them to continue studying and finish a degree so as to change their lives for the better. We teachers have to be living models in authentic values and virtues for them, so they could feel somehow the sense of belongingness in the world of humankind.ReplyDelete
It is extremely heartbreaking to see them being exploited, victims of syndicates and human traffickers. They've been ignored and treated lowly. Now that they are in public schools, something must really be done with tender love and care to keep them in school so to speak.

So, we pondered whether we should have a Christmas tree or not. The cons were that the house is a screaming mess, I mean, we're up to our eyeballs in boxes, dust and dog hair. It feels a bit pointless trying to decorate nicely for Christmas when all around you is chaos. But how could we not? We have a five year old in the house, for God's sake! And me.
We had originally intended to purchase our tree at the Holiday Fair at Mickey's school, a fundraiser for the PTA. I had volunteered to man the Christmas tree sale booth for an hour, from 1:00 to 2:00, but when we got there around 11:00 all but two of the trees had been sold and carted off. I came so close to buying two trees just so I didn't have to honor my hour of volunteer time, but the trees were white pines and I just couldn't bring myself to coughing up money for trees you can't decorate! Well, I was eventually saved from honoring my volunteer hour as two families happily scooped up each of the trees.
We purchased our tree from Ward's, the lawn and garden shop I'm going to be shelling over a lot of money to in the years to come. We also purchased a nice little wreath for the front door. Someday I'd like to trek up through the woods behind the house and find a tree to cut down and drag home, just like in Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory."
Christmas trees are so magical. I love sitting in a room all alone with a Christmas tree, all the other lights in the house off, no music or TV blaring, just the quiet of the house and the quiet of the lights. It's very peaceful and calming.
Tom took some photos of Mickey and I decorating our little tree. I have no narration to share, the photos tell everything.

Potential and limitations of inferring ecosystem photosynthetic capacity from leaf functional traits

The aim of this study was to systematically analyze the potential and limitations of using plant functional trait observations from global databases versus in situ data to improve our understanding of vegetation impacts on ecosystem functional properties (EFPs). Using ecosystem photosynthetic capacity as an example, we first provide an objective approach to derive robust EFP estimates from gross primary productivity (GPP) obtained from eddy covariance flux measurements. Second, we investigate the impact of synchronizing EFPs and plant functional traits in time and space to evaluate their relationships, and the extent to which we can benefit from global plant trait databases to explain the variability of ecosystem photosynthetic capacity. Finally, we identify a set of plant functional traits controlling ecosystem photosynthetic capacity at selected sites. Suitable estimates of the ecosystem photosynthetic capacity can be derived from light response curve of GPP responding to radiation (photosynthetically active radiation or absorbed photosynthetically active radiation). Although the effect of climate is minimized in these calculations, the estimates indicate substantial interannual variation of the photosynthetic capacity, even after removing site-years with confounding factors like disturbance such as fire events. The relationships between foliar nitrogen concentration and ecosystem photosynthetic capacity are tighter when both of the measurements are synchronized in space and time. When using multiple plant traits simultaneously as predictors for ecosystem photosynthetic capacity variation, the combination of leaf carbon to nitrogen ratio with leaf phosphorus content explains the variance of ecosystem photosynthetic capacity best (adjusted R2 = 0.55). Overall, this study provides an objective approach to identify links between leaf level traits and canopy level processes and highlights the relevance of the dynamic nature of ecosystems. Synchronizing measurements of eddy covariance fluxes and plant traits in time and space is shown to be highly relevant to better understand the importance of intra- and interspecific trait variation on ecosystem functioning. © 2016 The Authors.

TechnologyI am a software engineer that created a free, open source password manager to keep you safe online. AMA!
Nov 21st 2016 by xxkylexx • 23 Questions • 140 Points
Hey reddit. We all use the internet, so we need to be taking the proper steps to stay safe. Password re-use is a huge problem and with large data breaches becoming more and more common these days, we need to protect ourselves. Nearly 4 million data records (that we know of) are stolen online everyday and chances are you've been in one of them. Using a password manager is one of the easiest things you can do to stay safe.
I'm a software architect and have worked in the credit card payment processing industry for quite some time dealing with your sensitive credit card data. Security is something I think about and work with on a daily basis. Last year I decided that there was something missing from the internet: a simple, free, open source password manager that was available on all of your devices. Sure, there are many password management applications out there, but none of them seemed to fit the bill.
After one full year of development, bitwarden has been released for free on several platforms including iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and the web. You can read more about bitwarden on our website, https://bitwarden.com/.
I'll be here for the rest of the day to answer your questions about bitwarden, your password practices, online security, software development, open source, or whatever. AMA!
- Website: https://bitwarden.com/
- GitHub, source code: https://github.com/bitwarden
- Kickstarter campaign: http://kck.st/2gCsTUL
- Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bitwarden-free-password-m/nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb
- Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x8bit.bitwarden
- iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bitwarden-free-password-manager/id1137397744?mt=8
What makes your password manager better than a community open-source project (like KeePass) ?
KeePass is a great piece of software and is indeed open source as well, however, ask your non-technically inclined friend or family member to try and use it and you will quickly find that it seems to fall short. At least that has been my experience.
Not OP, but you very well could. Any meaningful premium features would probably be attached to an account and their access would depend on an external server.
This is correct.
Since the product is open source, you certainly can do this, though there is no "happy path" documented at this time. This is something we plan to introduce as a first-class experience further down the road with enterprise support/licensing.
First of all, I've ben an early user, love the platform. Just deleted my old Lastpass account. One quick question: Do the free features become premium later on?
Thread | Permalink
Thanks for using bitwarden! The plan is to offer a freemium model that will keep the current features free. Premium features will be in addition to what we offer today. Check out our Kickstarter for a better breakdown and comparison: http://kck.st/2gCsTUL
Your Kickstarter reward descriptions detail premium features including "unlimited device syncing" and "unlimited stored logins." If you're keeping current features free, what's up with those? I didn't realize there was a limit on logins or devices with the current version of Bitwarden.
Don't get me wrong, I love your software, but the reason I chose it over something like Lastpass is that it offered free syncing and didn't mention any limits.
Thread | Permalink
There is currently no limit on logins or devices with the current version of bitwarden. This is just part of the Kickstarter marketing to show exactly what you get with premium as well.
That's a relief. So to be clear, which features are not offered now but will be included with premium accounts?
Thread | Permalink
Currently the roadmap calls for the following premium features:
- Password sharing
- Two-factor storage for logins (TOTP)
- Additional two-factor authentication options like YubiKey
Our Kickstarter will help fund a lot of other new free features too though, like:
- Safari browser extension for Mac
- Auto-fill for Android
- Native desktop applications
- International languages
- Better documentation
So if someone gets my bitwarden password, I'm fucked?
Thread | Permalink
Yes, which is why it is important to create a strong master password. This shouldn't be an issue since you only have one password to remember now.
A data security breach on your end is a larger concern for me than someone making a bruteforce attack on my particular account. Why not just use that one strong password for all accounts if using bitwarden offers essentially the same level of protection? If I used one strong password for all my accounts, an intruder would only need that one password to access all of my accounts. If I use bitwarden, the intruder would need the same information to obtain the same level of access.
Thread | Permalink
A valid concern, however, the way we handle your master password renders it useless by the time it reaches our servers. Your master password is one-way hashed multiple times before it leaves your device and ultimately ends up on our server. You can read more about how we handle this data by checking out our help site Security topic: https://help.bitwarden.com/security/
You've said master password twice. You should be insisting on a master passphrase.
Thread | Permalink
Correct! A more complex phase is always better than a word.
First I will say... I love what you've done and strongly support this direction of development. I honestly think this market would be at a far better state if this was the norm for business models. With that said in regards to the above statement.... This is no different then how u would hack any front end auth API once you're inside the infrastructure though. Throw some sneaky logging at the place where the hash ingresses and then obviously u know how to use it once u have said hash since the code is available. Maybe you'd need some automation code to do in realtime if the hash is timebased or session based but still feasible once you have access to said systems handling the endpoints for auth... the scariest thing for security minded users in password storage IMO is trusting others to secure their infrastructure properly and go through pen tests and meet some level of best practices compliance framework for that infrastructure. People need to trust you more than LastPass/onepassword in that respect honestly for you to stand out as a viable competitor to the close sourcers I think.
Thanks for your feedback.
One of the great things about our infrastructure security is that we do not manage any infrastructure at all. bitwarden processes and stores all data securely in the Microsoft Azure cloud using services that are managed by the team at Microsoft. Since bitwarden only uses service offerings provided by Azure, there is no server infrastructure to manage and maintain. All uptime, scalability, and security updates and guarantees are backed by Microsoft and their cloud infrastructure.
if you're only using application platform services and not managing OS' directly that definitely significantly reduces your footprint on this front. Thanks for the clarity :)
Indeed. We don't have an infrastructure team so this is really the only way to go, though, it does cost more to operate this way.
Seems pretty unsecure for phishing/keylogging, any preventative measures such as an authenticator to prevent logging in from strange ip addresses/mac addresses?
Thread | Permalink
Two-factor authentication is available for your account as well. This can be activated from our web vault: https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/login
ok, good for you
Thread | Permalink
Username checks out.
Yes, but that's no different than 1password, lastpass, keepass, etc.
Strong master password and lots of encryption for the data.
Thread | Permalink
The main difference is that bitwarden aims to be simple to use, available on all platforms, offer a free tier that will allow you to actually use the product without being crippled, and is an open source project that is available on GitHub.
Sounds great! Another question if you don't mind and if it hasn't been asked/answered already, wouldn't transparency by publishing all of the source code make it easier for hackers to hack and access the passwords and sensitive data that is supposed to be protected?
Thread | Permalink
No, since that would be security though obscurity, which is not really security at all.
Masterlock Vault
Can you email me via the contact form on our website? We'll discuss getting this added.
I see. Do you have any requirements on the master passphrase that would reduced entropy (min or max characters)? Or make it more difficult to remember (capital letters and or special characters)?
We do not enforce any rules on your master password other than it much be at least 8 characters. There was a discussion about this a while back here: https://github.com/bitwarden/web/issues/3
Do you see yourself in the foreseeable future introducing a two factor authentication method, the function of which is arbitrary, but where its name involves an elaborate pun that refers to Master Blaster from Mad Max 3? Possibly in the most obscure way possible and preferably used as a double entendre for both that and your system.
Thread | Permalink
Two-factor authentication is already available and can be activated on your account from your web vault. https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/login
A successful Kickstarter campaign will bring additional 2FA methods to the system like email and YubiKey. Check it out @ http://kck.st/2gCsTUL
I currently use Keepass for Android and PC
What features does your app offer over keepass (other than a more simplistic design)? Does your app have auto-fill capabilities?
We offer first-class applications on all your devices so you don't have to depend on third-party implementations like KeyPass does. Also, in my bias opinion, bitwarden is much easier to use.
We plan to bring auto-fiill to Android with the successful completing of our Kickstarter campaign: http://kck.st/2gCsTUL
Any plans for native pc/mac clients? This is currently one of my favorite parts of lastpass, I can keep passwords separately from browsers. which I know is not a normal use case, but is helpful to me for work/personal account separation.
Yes. We are currently running a Kickstarter campaign in which we hope to fund native desktop applications on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Check it out: http://kck.st/2gCsTUL
Is there any possibility of introducing nested folders in future releases? What about custom forms?
Nested folders (proper) is not on the roadmap at the moment, but we may introduce some simple design tweaks if you use a special character in your folder name. For example, we could indent a folder structure based on the
> character. So you could have a folder named
Emails > Work, and
Emails > Home and give some appearance of hierarchy.
How was your experience in university/college as being a software engineer? We're there any completely irrelevant subjects/ do you use much of these skills now?
Thread | Permalink
I attended the University of Florida for a B.S. in Computer Science. Overall it was a great experience but you really only get out of it what you put into it. The track calls for lots of higher level maths and and all-around general education courses in addition to your core CS classes. Two classes that I wish I could go back and re-take again are discrete mathematics and data structures. These courses are extremely helpful to your life as a software engineer.
One class that I felt like I never really got a whole lot of practical application from was Numerical Analysis. Maybe the professor was just bad or maybe I just wasn't interested, but that course went way over my head and I just BS'ed by way through it.
Is Google's password manager a better option than not having a password manager at all? On the same vein, is it also much more inferior to managers like yours?
Thread | Permalink
It is if you use it to save unique passwords for each service. Google's password manager used to be a nightware for security (they just stored your password in plain text) but they have made it better recently. The benefit to bitwarden is that is is cross platform and not just available on Google products. bitwarden will also assist you with generating secure passwords during site registrations. bitwarden is also entirely open source.

I love summer. I absolutely love it, and this year I decided I wanted to do something a little extra fun to celebrate the warmer months. The answer? Blue hair! I've been obsessed with this pastel, bold colored hair for the past year or so but have been a bit scared to follow through. Would it look good? What would people say? Would it be weird? Honestly I was insecure about it.
A week or so ago, something just clicked.
Since January of this year, I've been on a path towards self love. I've been focusing on what makes me unique, I'm learning to love my body (bumps, lumps and all), and have worked to embrace what I have to offer the world. I'm no longer ashamed of my quarks and a little over a week ago, I realized that if I want to have blue hair, I should just go for it. After all, I'm doing it for me, not for anyone else, so who cares if it's not perceived very well?
I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge, and to be true to myself. I haven't looked back since.
It's funny what a simple change, like hair color, can do to you. It's only been a week, but I ever since the lady at Aveda slathered the dye on me, I've felt like a weight has been lifted. I'm no longer denying who I am, someone who is a little (or a lot haha) different.
I kind of feel like a mermaid with this new look, and it makes me want to embrace the more carefree side of myself. I'm one who has always been a planner, a worry wart, an anxious Anna, but now I'm trying to not let things get to me so easily. Instead, just enjoy the ride of life and see what happens. It's a little easier said then done, but so far I'm enjoying the journey.
Do you have something you've always wanted to do but haven't moved forward for fear of what others might think? I want to urge you to give in, just do it. You only live once, so you might as well live the life that is true to yourself.
Please share your stories below! I'd love to hear. 🙂
Have a fantastic weekend loves.

Blue suits you well, or is it your self acceptance reflected in your poses. Great pics! Have a great weekend!
Brilliantly well done – Stunningly Beautiful!!!!

The Charity Commission is working with the Ethical Property Foundation (Charity number 1101812) to identify the key issues that are currently affecting charities in England and Wales with regard to the property that they own, lease or rent. In particular they would like to know which issues are most significant, who they affect, whether your organisation has the capacity to deal with them, and the costs incurred in doing so.
The results of this survey will be used by the Ethical Property Foundation to develop tailored guidance and support on property matters for charities. They will be analysed by an independent consultancy to ensure the anonymity of individual respondents.
This survey will take around 5 minutes to complete.

A Short Overview Of Treatment Options In Dealing With Depression
Most people don't want to think about how to treat depression, or they deny having problems because they don't want help. But, depression is more common than people think, in fact, many people you know may also suffer from bouts of depression. You must be aware that help is out there if you need. For example, the tips below can provide you with some relief.
Do not alter your general social routines. When you are depressed, it can be hard to find the motivation to go out and spend time with other people. Continuing them is important to your mental health. Maintain your normal daily activities. If you avoid normal activities, you may feel even worse.
Don't let yourself get trapped in a downward spiral of depression. Obsessing over negative thoughts will also not be of any help. Try your best to think positively, and surround yourself with people who try to get you thinking positively rather than indulging your negative thoughts.
dating website If you have feeling of depression, it is vital that you speak to someone who can help. This can be a friend or family member, as well as a psychologist, and you're going to find this helps immensely.
positive singles Only hang out with friends who are beneficial to your mood. This will help you to overcome the tough times; make sure you talk to a variety of people, rather than just depending on one.
Facing personal problems and finding resolutions can help you move past depression. Avoid getting overwhelmed by doing small things. Breaking them into smaller goals will help combat depression and will probably fix many of the problems that are at the root cause of the depression.
Many things can cause depression; therefore, you need to attempt to discover the single root cause of your depression. If you have an idea of what is causing the problem, you can either go about eliminating the cause or deal with them in a different way.
When you feel yourself getting depressed, try taking a hot bath. Taking a bath, especially if you pair it with other activities like reading or music, can have a positive impact. Keep the water nice and warm as you soak, as this helps to relax muscles.
There are many ways to combat depression. Avoid things that trigger your depression. When there is a person, thing, or action that you know makes you depressed, try to avoid it.
Look for support wherever it is available and make use of it. Other people, particularly those who have staved off their own depression, are particularly useful at offering advice as you combat depression.
It may be a cliche, but fresh flowers can help lift you up mentally. Flowers, with their beautiful colors and heavenly scents, have evolved over millions of years to attract different species, including humans. Keep fresh flowers and enjoy the smell and color.
You have learned many tips on managing depression. Treatment is something which will take time and your patience to work. You can beat depression; it is definitely possible. Establish a solid network of support so you can get past this difficult time.

All who know me, will nod their heads in unison when I say that on an everyday basis i wear flats and flip flops. No matter what the selected look of the day is, i always successfully manage to pair it up with the perfect pair of flats or the cutest selection in flip flops. Not that I hold a grudge on sneakers, or those who solely wear sneakers, but with the summer weather in full session why not find a reason to show off those newly painted toes? Leave it to me to maneuver a way to do so. Not sure where to start? Take a walk in my shoes. . .100% leather

A very shocking and alarming news 'Housewife snatched away from auto rickshaw mass-raped' has drawn my attention like many others. It happened in Gaibandha sadar upazila at about 10pm. These types of reports have flooded the print and electronic media. It is noticed that many rape of children, girls and women are not published.
Rapes have been happening even in the running busses and where not.
Everyday people are getting killed in road accidents and it's a huge number everyday. A large number of people have lost their limbs and they have been dependent on others which are curses for them. We also know that a large number of women were raped during the liberation war and a large number of people were killed.
The incumbent government hanged some convicts through the process of law.
Rapes and also murders are happening every now and then, but the government does not speak out about the issue. They speak of rapes and killings of 1971.
Once acid throwing was an epidemic in our society but the then government took effective measures by introducing strong rules and was able to reduce acid throwing significantly.
We urge the government to introduce death by hanging for rapists and stringen rules for violating driving norms and help reduce road accidents.

The best Side of MicroprosopousYou missed the point. These "theories" are nonsense. When they are offered The very first time, the 3rd time, or even the umpteenth time, one particular may well hope that you'd eventually find out what a waste within your efforts they stand for. They do not advantage rebuttal -- They may be devoid of any justification or reason in addition to lacking supporting proof and argument, so it seems pointless to debate them.
The appropriate reaction to these mindless "theories" is actually to point out their vacuity. They solution no inquiries, and they're absurd on their face -- you got nothin'.
Receive the solutions for your most urgent inquiries in the whole privacy & convenience of your very own household. An Electronic mail Reading from the Psychic can provide the peace of mind you look for.
Even the University was quite conservative, so far as I'm able to inform. Just before then, beneath the Bentivoglio, Bologna was not conservative in any respect, like its University (Platonism flourished, at the very least in a few departments). The period of time in question is exactly some time under the Bentivoglio. Hence we cannot generalize from later on hundreds of years for the fifteenth. Sad to say, partly as a result of wholesale destruction of Bentivoglio property at some time with the regime-adjust, We all know minor about card generation under the Bentivoglio.
The "primary chess/enjoying card thesis" - when there is one particular - is probably going from Johannes of Rheinfelden, relative up to date for the start off of enjoying card development in Europe, and likely extra while in the state of an observer. A maybe next great title can be Breithaupt, who wrote in regards to the concern, and somebody with an analogous spectrum might have been chess master Antonius Van Der Linde, who experienced also historic passions, and you also would've your enjoyment with him, if you should be able to read his German texts.
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=460 ... that is just my try to understand a little bit extra from Chess background. additional info That's without a doubt a complex planet of its individual. Probably just after this you may do somewhat more, than simply functioning all over and crying "folly, folly, folly" in see of my proposal.
A similarity to your common Tarot motifs and recreation composition is neither recognized in the game composition nor inside the motifs. The similarity into the Tarot game is only regarded from the pretty rudimentary match regulations.
But what is certain is that the numberer had a full typical list of trumps - excepting the Popess possibly - before him, not 16.
Effectively, as that is a common element in actively playing card conclusions, you appear to argument, that there's a rule (certainly I remember, that Ross when utilised this argument), that surviving decks of the early time Will need to have dropped cards. Very well, this was an absurd speculation - only explainable by a momentary state of some blindness in logic.
I will handle the chess theory subsequent. Nevertheless this thread is giving a number of prospects for even further clarification on points that have been bothering me, And that i needed to get straight within the Charles VI's numbers very first.
You guess. The gross sales pitch has become taking place, on Lothar/Huck's web pages plus the Tarot fora, because 2003, And that i posted the 1st detailed reply in 2004.
As a didactic approach in some way justified, but commencing it with Descartes methods with the unknown to your acknowledged evokes some attainable jokes.
You haven't lifted an individual concern which your so-identified as "theory" clarifies; the basic thought is terrible together with needless; plus the depths and intricacies of your fantasy is a tad creepy.
We are able to notice that the earliest known documentation on the A order, not long ago discovered by Thierry Depaulis, a poem identified as a "strambotto", of round the 12 months 1500, lists the trumps in exactly the order from the Charles VI, While using the exception which the playing cards area the Chariot higher than Fortune ("Rota", the Wheel). This latter ordering is similar to the other Florentine creation, the Minchiate.

SYTYCD 8 - Top 20 Redux. Tens(e) Across The Board
We're back again Dance Fans! It's like last week never even happened! We've still got 9 Contempos, 4 Jazz Hands, 4 Hip Hoppers, 1 B-way, 1 Tappa Tappa Tappa and 1 10-Dance Ballroom World Champ. But oh, how those numbers will drop after Thursday! Joining Nigel and Mary on the Judges Table this week is Debbie Reynolds, because she is Golden-Age Hollywood and she's still alive! This woman knows from her hoofers. But I suspect she will think everyone is simply amazing!
1. Ryan and Ricky, jazz w/ Mandy Moore. Dancing to: Addicted to Love," Robert Palmer
It's supposed to be super sexy, but the costume department kinda went toward S&M. Also they put Ryan in this crazy boustier top that is just daring a nip slip to occur. The sharpness of the movement is great, but Ryan is grinning away just like last week! What is going on there? It takes away from the feeling of the dance. The judges all love it, but it was not super for me.
2. Caitlyn and Mitchell, contemporary w/ Stacey Tookey. Dancing to: "Turning Tables," Adele There's a lot of set pieces in this one, which I'm not usually a fan of but there's a nice white arm chair and a nice black arm chair and I want both of them in my living room, so I'll let it slide. I think the theme here is violent relationships. It works because Caitlyn is looking super fierce and Mitchell punches her in the nose! And makes her BLEED! All through the judging! I think the dancing is really strong here. The judges love it. Will they ever not love everything? Come on, give these kids stuff to work on!
3. Missy and Wadi, cha-cha w/ Jean-Marc Genereux. Dancing to: "Cannibal," Ke$ha
From the very beginning Wadi is out of his depth. He looks super nervous and uncomfortable. Some of the lifts are good, but the rest is kind of a mess. Missy is strong, but it's really not enough to lift the whole routine. Nigel and Mary tell it to him straight. Mary goes so far to tell him that it looked like dancing with the stars where one is a pro and the other is really just a student. Ouch. Debbie offers to take Wadi home to cha cha with her. Wadi takes small solace in the fact that at least he made SOMEbody happy. Aww. Poor dude.
4. Iveta and Nick, Bollywood w/ Nakul Dev Mahajan. Dancing to: "Baawre," Lucky By Chance soundtrack. It's a very fast and bouncy routine and they are not quite together and not quite up to it, but I really like these two. I want them to do well. It doesn't blow me away. But really none of the routines have set me on fire yet. The judges all say it was fun because they really don't know how to critique this dance style.
5. Miranda and Robert, hip hop w/ Napoleon and Tabitha. Dancing to: "Break Ya Neck," Busta Rhymes. Concept: Woodpeckers! Robert knows all, while Miranda is learning the ropes. It's… good. It doesn't really hold my focus though. Am I just in a mood? What's going on tonight? Miranda does a really cool flip but can't stick the landing. She makes it work for her character though. They both do a forward flip off the stage to end the routine that I might not feel comfortable attempting even if I was jumping into a swimming pool. Nigel says he appreciates that Robert stopped the woo-ing and I second that. Robert's much more tolerable this week. Debbie Reynolds does an AMAZING Woody Woodpecker laugh. Even if she doesn't give one constructive critique that impression made her presence here worthwhile.
6. Clarice and Jess, contemporary w/ Stacey Tookey. Dancing to: "Cathedrals," Jump Little Children. My favorite song!! Seriously, I love this song. I always include the first time I make someone a mix cd. Concept; prince & princess! UGH. That's not right for this song. Jess is not partnering her well. The lifts are labored. The chemistry is not there. But the routine is just kinda weak too. Not a good outing for these two. Nigel again has the good sense to let them know how it was, but Mary and Debbie just ignore the blandness and think it's great.
7. Jordan and Tadd, Viennese waltz w/ Jean-Marc Genereux. Dancing to: "Fade Into Me," David Cook. This one is good. There's a nice rise-and-fall throughout and the judges are all up on that for this kind of dance. Tadd is a great as a partner, and even though I find Jordan less endearing by the week, she shines during this routine. It's romantic and light and technically strong. The judges eat it up and Debbie compares them to Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. Which is ridiculous. It was good, but it was not anywhere near those three legends. I mean, c'mon.
8. Melanie and Marko, jazz w/ Mandy Moore. Dancing to "Sing With a Swing (Rat Marchesini radio edit)," DKS. (That's a long track name.) Concept; They have hats. The routine's just... not that good. Don't' get me wrong. They are total stars. I love watching them, but this is very middle of the road choreo. There is a moment where Melanie just leaps into a split and Marko has to catch her and they nail it. But overall, I think it's boring. Like the Tyce routine last week. But the judges love it. Of course.
9. Sasha and Alexander, hip hop w/ Napoleon and Tabitha. Dancing to: "Coming Home," Diddy-Dirty Money and Skylar Grey. The concept: soldier coming back war. Oddly, this is it's own category of dance concept on this show. Soldiers going to war, soldiers coming back from war. This show loves that dance motif. It's a good routine. Sasha in particular moves with great emotion. Together, I don't think they really got to the emotional heights of being reunited, but Debbie and Mary are both in tears and Nigel thinks it's not worth critiquing the dancing, but I assure him that it always is. Whatevs, obviously it's me who is having an off-week and not the show, because everyone seems to be doing everything PHENOMENALLY in the judges eyes.
10. Ashley and Chris, Broadway w/ Spencer Liff. Oh, I like Spencer. What will he do? Dancing to: "Please, Mr. Jailer," Rachel Sweet There's a set of jail bars and they are gonna dance on either side of the, It's fun and sexy, but it almost feels a little gimmicky. What is wrong with me? I like this show, don't I? I just wasn't really impressed this week. Sorry, dancers. I still think you are awesome, but this week it didn't happen for me. The judges loved almost everything though, including this one. Mary Murphy even makes them the first dancers on the Hot Tamale Train this season. Hmm. I hope they are riding coach.
So even with my blah attitude, this is where I thought things fell this week in terms of my favorites.
Caitlyn & Mitchell's contemporary
Tadd & Jordan's Viennese Waltz
Melanie & Marko's Jazz
Sasha & Alexander's hip hop
Ashley & Chris's Broadway
Iveta & Nick's Bollywood
Miranda & Robert's Hip Hop
Ryan & Ricky's lyrical hip-hop
Clarice & Jess's Contemporary
Missy & Wadi's Cha Cha
So I think it will be Wadi and Missy and Ryan and Jess going home. We'll see how it goes though! Most likely 2 couples the judges really like will find themselves in jeopardy and we'll get screwed out of two dancers that are awesome because of the double elimination.
Results Show! It's the 3rd Top 20 Dance Routine of the year which is a little weird. It's Dave Scott and it's kinda cool but they all look like boys in bowler hats (what's with those hats??) and blazers and plaid shorts and I can't tell the girls from the guys. Nobody stands out. Maybe Marko gets a solo? Or is it Tadd. Grr. Weird.
So then it goes to our bottom 3: We've got Wadi and Missy in the bottom and then later we get Iveta and Nick in the bottom. DAMN. That means we are losing at least two people I like. Then finally we get Ryan and Ricky as the final couple. Oof. So no one from last week's bottom 3 is in this week's bottom 3.
Before we get to all the solos let's talk musical guests LMFAO performed with Quest. It was decent, as these things go, but I don't like lip-synching. And also Rage Crew was on hand and it was good… but there was this one little girl who was right in front, and she was doing her thing, but she was SO little and was doing some kinda sexual moves and it reminded me of Toddlers and Tiaras in an uncomfortable way. Then I remembered this, and it kinda made it all better again.
Also, tonight we got an in-show commercial for Gatorade. A nutritionist comes to talk to the kids about calories as if she's practicing her sales pitch for when she visits the Biggest Loser ranch in the fall. I laugh and laugh. This kids are young, in great shape, and busting their asses learning all these routines week after week. They can eat all the calories they want. They won't be gaining an once. Gatorade High Endurance really is magical stuff though. So it's nice they seem to be stocking their fridge with it free of charge.
So SOLOS: First out was Wadi and it was kinda low-energy. Oh NO! Wadi they are gonna send you home for sure for that!! It made me me sad. I though he'd be in the Top 10 for sure. he does leap from his back into an amazing crossed legged pose at the very end. It won't be enough though. Then it's Missy and she is good, but again, I don't know how she'll fight her way out of this one. Then we get Nick who is adorable and who tappa tappa tappa's his little heart out. I sort of love him. Will it be enough? Possibly. Then it's Iveta and she too does well, but I had a feeling while watching that they'd keep either girl over her for some reason. They got rid of Anya too early back in the day. Then after a break, we got Ryan who is still smiling too much!!! It's driving me crazy! Her solo is not super. And then Ricky, who EFFING KILLED his solo.
SO who stays and who goes? The judges kept Ricky and Ryan. That's kind of bullshit. They just like Ryan. She hasn't done one dance yet that would warrant her getting picked over Iveta or Missy. This is the judges playing favorites in the worst way. It's a tearful goodbye, as sending off four dancers at once is as emotionally difficult as you'd expect. Next week, we eliminate only two. This week, I was not moved by the routine or pleased with the eliminations. Let's do better, Show.
