Data feeds whisper at the edges of your hearing, poisonous oracles promising disaster or deliverance. Readouts constantly flicker in the cluttered wireframe HUD, forcibly projected into your optic nerves. It would be the easiest thing in the world to organize the data feeds, to take responsibility for the starship and its two-thousand souls. You would be able to dissolve into the ship's systems, to *be* the ship — to be something its crew felt fondly about. You would be able to forget about your friends and stop hoping for a rescue. That's the whole point of this, after all. Helmsman implants are expensive, starships even more so. Only an idiot would place an unconditioned helmsman at the heart of a starship. Before you can be permitted to fly, you must first be utterly broken. [[> Resist|Nightmare 2]]
They have to know you were taken. The debris trail alone would have enough clues for TZ or NP to track your (heh heh) captors. But if the war's going badly, they may not be able to spare enough forces to rescue you. "The first duty of any prisoner is to resist," you remember KK preaching to the troops. But it's hard. The last time you tried to hack their network, they took away all the feeds and left you in isolation. You don't know how long they kept you there, seeing nothing, feeling nothing. But it was long enough that when the simulation — and that's what it is, just a simulation — came back, you almost gave in out of relief.
> Resist

 It's getting so much harder. You don't know how long it's been, but you're sure you should have been rescued by now.

> Resist

 You can't let them win. You have to hold out.

> Resist

 Oh, what's the use.

 [[> Give in|Nightmare 3]]
 <% $(function() { var r_1 = this.find("#resist1"); var r_2 = this.find("#resist2"); var r_3 = this.find("#resist3"); var c_2 = this.find(".container2"); var c_3 = this.find(".container3"); var c_4 = this.find(".container4"); r_1.one("click", function() { r_1.removeClass("linktext"); c_2.removeClass("hide"); }); r_2.one("click", function() { r_2.removeClass("linktext"); c_3.removeClass("hide"); }); r_3.one("click", function() { r_3.removeClass("linktext"); c_4.removeClass("hide"); }); }) %>
It's just a quick diversion, you tell yourself. You have to do something, anything, to relieve the boredom. So you dive into the engine response feeds. You redline the engines at first, a little show of defiance, but the feedback leaks into every other feed, so you have to pull them back down.
==>

At your direction, readouts for the fusion plant and attitude thrusters line themselves up next to the status feeds from the hyperspace vanes. They're all wrong. Firing the thrusters above 14% with the vanes above one-quarter engaged is just wasting power, any idiot would know that. So you adjust them, and it all looks good, but then the fusion plant is generating too much power compared to the draw, so you have to damp that down again, and that affects the vane performance. It's actually an interestingly complicated system.

You've just about got the power and propulsion systems configured properly when there's a directive from the bridge. `SET INTERCEPT COURSE FOR SYSTEM 87-B`. The directive includes a specified power curve that will take more monitoring than you want to do right now, so you modify it to something that will do the 13 light-sweep journey in nearly the same time but with a lot less grubsitting. The moment you do, pain arcs across your head, as if you'd stuck your horns into a live circuit. You try closing the system controls, but they won't go away. You try redlining the engines again. You try changing just about everything, but the pain won't stop. Finally you change the configuration back to what the directive specified, and just like that, the pain goes away. No, not just goes away; you're feeling happy. You know your mental states. You shouldn't be feeling this happy. They're messing with your emotions even more. [[==>|Nightmare 5]]
More directives come in, at different intervals, sometimes giving you wide latitude to implement them, and sometimes specifying exact parameters. When you try exploiting the simulation again, you're punished with more pain even when you stop interfering and obey the directives. The pattern repeats itself and before long you find you're self-censoring any notion of hacking your way out. It's probably only hours later that you realize they're not even zapping you anymore; they just have to cut off the euphoria reward for obeying and you automatically make the corrections. You hate them for doing this to you. You hate KK and FF for not rescuing you. But you hate yourself even more. They — whoever they are — made you into this, but you helped. It's your own fault. You deserve this. [[==>|Wake up 1]]
<% story.checkpoint() %> You thrash around, knocking your knuckles against the walls of your recuperacoon. Your breathing slowly returns to normal. It's been a whole equinox since KK's strike team burst into the facility where you were being held, but you keep having the same dream, and the others are starting to notice you're not all right. [[> Figure out a solution|Ranting 1]]
Hey, idiot, you're dreaming again. [[> Wake up|Wake up 2]]
_Nights in the future, but not many._ "What the everbleeding fuck," Karkat fairly shouts, "is that?" It's a stupid question. He knows what he's looking at, even with the modifications youve made. "I don't know, KK, but it looks to me like a helmsman conditioning rig." It is, in fact, the rig you were sealed inside when he stormed the asteroid fortress to rescue you. In the past few nights, it has undergone substantial alterations by Equius's hands and at your direction. For one thing, it's been turned inside out so that the induction candidate must hang in the open, suspended by his own psionics. Secondly, the neurostimulator used to be situated over the candidate's head, rather than his genitals. "I've made some changes that I think you'll find very interesting." He sputters protests, but you talk over him. "Don't tell me you've forgotten _Fleet Fantasies 16: Jermak Gets A Captain_. I thought that was one of your very favorite vids." [[==>|Ranting 2]]
Karkat waves his hands as if to wave the rig away somehow. "We saved you, Sollux! You don't have to be a helmsman. And if you're throwing away what I did just for _this_, then fuck you and fuck me for caring." And that's when you laugh in spite of yourself. He's never had the caste-specific schoolfeeding. He's never had dreams of service poured into his brainpan, never had a serial number assigned to him. "You still don't get it, KK? It's in my blood. Yellowbloods are _bred_ for this, and once you start you don't just stop." "So that's it? Bye bye Sollux Captor, hello _SS Bulgefuck_? You can't ask me to turn you into a ship, Sollux, you just can't." He's almost crying now. "I have to finish this. You know me; I've never been one for half measures. And I can't go back. I'm going to finish it on my own terms. I need your help to get through this and still be myself." [[==>|Ranting 3]]
He swallows, hard. "Why me?" he asks, and his voice is small and quiet. "I couldn't ask AA. She's a helming caste too. I can't do that to her. If I asked FF, she'd freak out just like you're doing and try to find some way to talk me out of it. And frankly, EQ doesn't want anything to do with my bulge that doesn't involve keeping it out of ED's nook." You pause and let that sink in. "You hate me enough to do it properly, and you care enough to keep me from fucking it up. It has to be you," you tell him. "Someone else would just get it wrong." His jaw unclenches, and he sticks his balled-up fists into his pockets. "Fine. But I need some time. I need to read up about this." You know as well as he does that his "research" is going to involve a lot more volumes of _Starship Pals_ than he wants to admit owning, but that's ok. You've read them all too. [[==>|Elevator 1]]
He comes for you when you're fast asleep. He has a security drone with him and the set of inhibitor cuffs you gave him. If you'd known, you would have made it easy on him, would've slept with both arms draped out of the 'coon. Instead he has to clasp one cuff on you, then get the drone to lever you out of the sopor. To your horror, your other hand has gotten halfway into your nook in your sleep and there's a squelching sort of sound as the drone pulls you out of yourself and finishes cuffing you. Come on, Captor, keep it together for two fucking seconds, or there probably won't _be_ fucking seconds. Heh. Karkat taps his huskpad and with a tingle from the cuffs, up your arms to your spine, and from there to the tips of your horns, your powers come alive under his direction. You can still feel your precise location in the room, relative to everything else, but it's muted now. You sag limply to the floor when the drone releases you, only to pop back up under Karkat's remote control. He dismisses the security drone, then floats you ahead of him, out the door and down the hall to the elevator. You keep quiet until the doors close, at which point you burst out "KK, what the *fuck*?" [[==>|Elevator 2]]
He spins you around to face him and you realize he's wearing his threshecutioner uniform, the one Kanaya made for him during the early days of the insurrection. "Candidate Captor, your services are required by the Empire. Your assessment of my performance is neither required nor permitted," he says coldly. Then he nearly melts and looks you straight in the eye. "This is okay, right, Sollux? If it's not okay or if I do something wrong, you need to tell me. You have to say, uh, 'grubsauce', ok?" You nod. "Do it, KK," you tell him. The concern drops back below the mask of Threshecutioner Vantas, still visible if you know where to look, but not distracting. He's so hot when he's like this, running on the edge of self-control. It almost makes you want to push and see what'd happen, but right now you have other needs. [[==>|Entry]]
<% story.checkpoint() %> The elevator doors open on the bay where you left the conditioning rig. Karkat's added a few decorations of his own: a simple folding chair and a side table with a tray full of the kind of sex toys you find in a helmstech's workbag. Your bulge does a little quiver at the thought of those tools being put to use on you. This is about as far from fuzzy handcuffs and bullet vibes as you can get; helmsmen are equipment and the design of these tools only reinforces that fact. Where the fuck did he even get them? You barely react at all as Karkat floats you into the rig and straps you in; you're still coming to terms with this being real. This is really happening, right now, to you. Then he clamps the HUD over your face and you're back in the simulated ship, halfway between Nowhere and Fuckall. This time around you can still feel your body, which is good because Karkat's got both hands on your grubscars and you're starting to get a little wriggly down below. "You're going to be a good ship for me," he whispers at the edge of your hearing and you can't decide if you want to curse at him or tell him to stick it in already. [[> Yell at the fuckass]] [[> Tell him where he can put his bulge]] [[> Safeword|Safeword (early)]]
"Grubsauce," you mutter, both in sadness at giving up so quickly and relief that it's over, at least for now. Karkat lets out a breath you hadn't even known he was holding and hits a button on his huskpad. The rig opens up and the cuffs drop off. You sink the the floor. Before you know it, Karkat's helping you to your feet. "I'm sorry, Sollux. I fucked up; I'm sorry." "Fuck that," you tell him. "I guess I couldn't handle it. It's not your fault, KK. And before you ask, of course we're still friends." You have to help him back up to the residential deck. Maybe in the future you'll come back to this, but for now what you two have together is more important.
"Hey, fuck you very much," you yell as loud as you can despite the conditioning rig's limiters on your vocal cords. "I'm not _your_ ship; I'm _my_ ship." Karkat reaches over and flips on the neurostimulator. You feel a spasm up your nook as it locks onto the nerves in your groin, and then a jab of white-hot fire as he thumbs it up a few notches and back down again. You can't scream, you can't twitch free, you can't do anything except gasp for breath, for anything to distract you from the pain. "Let's try that again," Karkat says softly. "I'm Threshecutioner Vantas and I'm your shipwright. Even the stupidest baby wigglers can figure out that this means you're my ship." He strokes your thorax and a frisson goes through you at his touch. "I'm going to make sure you're the very best ship you can be." [[==>|Starship 1]]
"Ooh yeah, baby, stick it in, stick it in," you simper in your best mockery of a respiteblock voice. "I'm so wet for you right now." "Fuck you, that's disgusting, you're disgusting," Karkat replies. "Did your lusus teach you to talk like that?" His hand drifts down along your thigh and one blunted claw prods at the edge of your nook. You try to thrust toward his hand, but the rig holds you too firmly. "Let's get you cleaned up." He takes his hand away and picks something up from his table of toys. "This has a long official name but I never really bothered to learn it, ship. I just like to call it the nookbot." He flicks a switch and with a whine, the mechanical nookworm simulator writhes its way into you. It's cold, almost as cold as Feferi's bulge but nowhere near as thick, and as it vacuums up your arousal fluid it leaves you wanting more. For a few minutes Karkat watches quietly as you hang there and moan, every twitching feeling amplified by the nookbot's feedback. When it turns itself off and falls into Karkat's waiting hand, you feel almost hollowed out and ready for anything. [[==>|Starship 1]]
Karkat taps another button on his huskpad and the simulated ship falls away from you, replaced by something entirely new. You wrote the code for this yourself, but you're still amazed at how good it feels when the station's feeds fill your sensorium. Nine hundred living, breathing, fighting trolls light up the life support streams. The solar wind batters your hull sensors and you nearly squint away from the light of the system's primary before you realize that's not a concern for you anymore. You even have video feeds of the interior, particularly the work bay where Karkat stands in front of your silly little meat body. He's hunched over his huskpad. He looks so small like this, but he's solidly built. He must be working out. "Orders?" you ask over the bay's speaker system. For once you're enunciating properly; no flesh to lisp with. By way of reply he flips another switch in the software you set up for him. Engine controls make themselves known to you, along with the vane readouts. They're just simulated; this station isn't capable of anything more energetic than maintaining its orbit. You nudge the thrusters online; nothing big, nothing fast, but enough to give you a sense of how they'll react. The hacked simulation takes over the station feeds, adjusting them for your virtual movement. It all still works. You laugh over the speakers. Yeah, you're gonna be the best there ever was: the first ship who can improve his own operating system. [[==>|Starship 2]]
Karkat sets aside the huskpad and leans over your body. "Ship, take us up to one-third on the sublight thrusters. Set course for home." You don't need any programmed emotions to love the feeling of flying through the interlocking gravity wells of the six planets in this system, up and out toward a distance where your hyperdrive vanes will be useful as more than very effective brakes. In a real ship this would take hours, but you've sped the sim up considerably. In just moments you're free of the system and aimed at deep space, so you engage the vanes and fall into that higher-dimensional space where the light of other universes speeds you on your way. [[==>|Starship 3]]
The perennial question in the _Starship Pals_ fandom when you were growing up was "Can one ever really know what it's like to _be_ a starship, I mean really?" With the aid of the conditioning rig you've modified, you're pretty sure the answer is "hell fucking yes". You're loving it. This is a kind of freedom you never had, even when you were six and your biggest concern was figuring which asshat to troll on Troll 4chan. You drop out of hyperspace near Alternia and amuse yourself with dodging and destroying all the battlestations the old Empress left in the system. It's the most fun you've had in sweeps, and you're not paying any attention to your body anymore, which is why you're caught by surprise when your bulge shoots all the way out of its sheath and into Karkat's waiting hand. It looks like he figured out some of the more interesting settings on the neurostimulator. [[==>|Bulge 1]]
<% story.checkpoint() %> "Now that I have your attention, ship, we're going to have to do a diagnostic routine," Karkat says in about as relaxed a voice as he can ever manage. "I have to make sure you're in working order, so please pay attention and tell me what you feel." He curls the tip of your bulge around his thumb, then makes a fist, trapping it. Then he leans over and licks all the way from tip (well, just about) to sheath. "Oh fuck, KK, do that again," you say. Maybe it's the neurostimulator's settings, maybe it's just the context, but it felt pretty amazing. He pinches your bulge tip painfully. "You are to call me Threshecutioner, or Shipwright." You didn't even know he could get stern like this. "Okay," you squeak. "Shipwright, that feels really good. I want more." And yeah, you really do. You feel like you could do this for hours. [[==>|Bulge 2]]
He strokes your bulge, letting it coil around his hand. He's viscid with your bulgefluid by the time he untwines himself from you. Your pulse is pounding. If you could move, you'd be thrusting your bulge back into his hand, but you can't; it just hangs there, twitching in search of something to slide into. He ignores it. Instead, he puts the tip of a finger just at the edge of your nook, which somehow becomes even wetter. Your nook opens for him and he makes a fist. [[> Relax and enjoy it]] [[> Safeword|Safeword (later)]]
Even as slick as you are, he can't get his whole fist in unless he narrows it, curls his fingers tightly together and wiggles his way inside you. "That's a good ship," he says softly. "You're so good to me." You can feel your nook reacting to the enzymes your bulge left on his hand and starting to let down your genetic material. You could warn him, but that'd spoil the fun a bit. "God, Shipwright, keep doing that," you find the breath to say. Now that his whole hand is inside you, he closes his fist again to something small and round and powerful. All the stars are raining adoration on your hull and the whole of your attention is centered on this gorgeous little ball of rage and pity who's doing his best to make you come for him. It's amazing. [[==>|Relax 2]]
All of a sudden you realize you need to stop. "Grubsauce," you tell him urgently, feeling silly as you do. As he promised, he stops immediately; wipes off his hands on a cloth and undoes your cuffs. You float to the ground. Karkat looks hurt. "Did I do something wrong?" he asks. "I thought you were into this." You can't figure out how to explain it to him right now, so you just grab him and hold on. Instantly he pulls you close and hugs you. "We can do something else," he says. "We'll figure it out." He keeps babbling until you put a finger over his mouth. "It's not about you, KK," you tell him before he starts blaming himself again. "I thought this was right for me, but it's not, not exactly. Thanks for helping me through it." He laughs a little. "Like I'm gonna pass up a chance to show you what you mean to me," he says, burying his head in your shoulder again. Behind you, the rig goes into idle mode. You'll deal with that later. Yeah, life is pretty good.
You're out of words to say, right now, and that's a marvel of its own, but you route your subvocalizations out of body and into the speaker system. The sounds fill the bay, and now Karkat's at the center of what he's doing to you. You moan for him and he lets out his own susurration in response, and fuck if it doesn't make your entire body want to sing for him. He's slowly pulling out of you and then coming back in, and you're on the edge and you ride it for as long as you can, to imprint this perfect moment of high flight on your fallible excuse for a databank. And then the moment's complete, version 2.0, and as a torrent of genetic material pours out around his fist you scream "yes, yes, fucking yes". And this time you don't lose yourself in flight or in system management, but in all the fragile and complicated feelings of your body. [[==>|Relax 3]]
Karkat's already undone the cuffs by the time you come back to yourself. He's wincing and feeling his hand where you clenched it tightly. It's stained so yellow you don't think he's going to get it clean for days. You grin and drop to the ground. "Hey, KK, you did good." His eyes light up from just that bit of praise. "Really? I thought..." but you cut him off. "Yeah, but that only means you set the bar higher for next time." You're not sure you like the expression he makes at that; you're going to have to fill his moirail in on this whole thing sooner rather than later, but that's a problem for after you both get some rest. "Thanks," you tell him. "I mean it. Now go on; I'll clean this up." He turns to go, but pauses and looks back at you. "'Next time'? I thought this was supposed to fix you." He really does wear his emotions on his sleeve. "I told you, KK, this is part of me now. But with you as a Shipwright, things are gonna be ok." Then you chase him out of the bay so you can start work on the next iteration of the software. It's gonna be so great. Really, between his feelings and your smarts, how could it not?

HEY! It can't hurt to try it!!!!
Eating the right food can help women achieve full sexual satisfaction, according to Marrena Lindberg, author of Orgasmic Sex. Lindberg claims a healthy diet supplemented by high-grade fish oil can increase women's enjoyment of sex in as little as two weeks. In addition to fish oil, she suggests supplements of magnesium, iron, multivitamins, and even a piece of dark chocolate every day.
Lindberg believes a balanced diet contributes to healthy serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, and says fish oil boosts dopamine and improves overall circulation. She suggests eating a moderate amount of foods containing saturated fat because she thinks they help maintain a woman's testosterone level. "Quite simply, free testosterone puts a tiger in your tank," she says.
Lindberg also recommends strengthening exercises for the pubococcygeus muscle, which is the muscle that controls urine flow and contracts during sex. She says many women know these exercises as "Kegels."
She says to avoid caffeine, herbal stimulants, foods high in sugars and starches, hormonal birth control, soy, antidepressants, and omega-6 fatty acids. She recommends consulting a physician before starting the diet because fish oil can act like a blood thinner in the amounts she suggests, which for a woman weighing 130 pounds is a daily dose 1700 mg of EPA and 1300 of DHA.

Goddamnit it's one of those days. One of the days that hits you square in the forehead because it's so shocking. You thought you were doing so well and that depression crap was in your past. Then WHAM you come to at 2pm realizing you could not get out of bed all day because of exhaustion and complete lack if give-a-shit.
Awesome. And yesterday I told my psychiatrist the seroquel was helping me (in a bout of hypomanic overconfidence) even though I know it's not helping enough.
I couldn't pull myself out of it until I found these inspiring quotes/pictures.
Oh! And then I remembered how awesome Katie perry is!
Now I'm moving on to taking care of ME, which at the moment, means washing my face, starting laundry, and having some vanilla honey chamomile tea. 🙂

10 U.S. Code § 3914 - Twenty to thirty years: enlisted members
Under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, an enlisted member of the Army who has at least 20, but less than 30, years of service computed under section 3925 of this title may, upon his request, be retired.
Historical and Revision Notes
1956 Act
Revised section
Source (U.S. Code)
Source (Statutes at Large)
10:948 (1st sentence).
Oct. 6, 1945, ch. 393, § 4 (1st sentence); restated Aug. 10, 1946, ch. 952, § 6(a) (1st sentence), 60 Stat. 996.
The words "now or hereafter", in 10:948a, are omitted as surplusage. The words "computed under section 3925 of this title" are substituted for the words "active Federal service", in 10:948, and "active Federal military service", in 10:948a, since that revised section makes explicit the service covered. The words "be retired" are substituted for the words "will be placed on the retired list of", in 10:948. The words "completed a minimum", in 10:948; and "the period of", "be subject to", "periods of", and "now or after August 10, 1946", in 10:948a; are omitted as surplusage.
The change makes clear that the Secretary of the Army is required to prescribe regulations in this case, and conforms this section to section 8914, its Air Force counterpart.
1994—Pub. L. 103–337 struck out at end "A regular enlisted member then becomes a member of the Army Reserve. A member retired under this section shall perform such active duty as may be prescribed by law until his service computed under section 3925 of this title, plus his inactive service as a member of the Army Reserve, equals 30 years."
1980—Pub. L. 96–343 struck out "regular" before "enlisted members" in section catchline and substituted in section "an enlisted member" for "a regular enlisted member", "A regular enlisted member" for "He", and "Army Reserve. A member retired under this section" for "Army Reserve, and".
1958—Pub. L. 85–861 substituted "regulations to be prescribed" for "regulations prescribed".
Pub. L. 96–343, § 9(c), Sept. 8, 1980, 94 Stat. 1129, provided that:
Amendment by Pub. L. 85–861 effective Aug. 10, 1956, see section 33(g) of Pub. L. 85–861, set out as a note under section 101 of this title.
For provisions authorizing the Secretary of the Army, during the period beginning Oct. 23, 1992, and ending Oct. 1, 1995, to apply this section to an enlisted member with at least 15 but less than 20 years of service by substituting "at least 15" for "at least 20", see section 4403 of Pub. L. 102–484, set out as a note under section 1293 of this title.
Acts May 26, 1900, ch. 586, 31 Stat. 209; Mar. 2, 1903, ch. 975, 32 Stat. 933; Apr. 23, 1904, ch. 1485, 33 Stat. 264; Aug. 24, 1912, ch. 391, § 1, 37 Stat. 575; May 17, 1932, ch. 190, 47 Stat. 158, provided that: "In computing length of service for retirement, credit shall be given soldiers for double the time of their actual service in China, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippine Islands, the Island of Guam, Alaska, and Panama, but double credit shall not be given for service rendered subsequent to April 23, 1904, in Puerto Rico or the Territory of Hawaii, nor shall credit for double time for foreign service be given to those who enlisted after August 24, 1912: Provided, That nothing herein shall be so construed as to forfeit credit for double time accrued prior to August 24, 1912."

Oh my goodness...I did the dumbest thing the other night! I have several tumblrs so I was trying to delete one that I don't use anymore. But instead of deleting the one tumblr blog, I accidentally deleted my whole tumblr account! MAJOR....FAIL. I lost the tumblr that I still use, all the blogs I follow and worst of all, I deleted the tumblr blog that was my digital journal for one of my classes. Basically I did the equivalent of writing your paper and then having your computer crash and losing all your work. Except I can't blame a virus, just my stupidity for not clearly reading that the button said 'delete account' not 'delete blog'.
Well, moving on!
I've been really into pinterest these past few months. It's so great for organizing my ideas and inspirations for my projects and designs. I've really developed my boards and would love to see and follow your guys' boards. So if any of you guys have a pinterest, please share with meeeee! Hehe I'm hungry for new people to follow and boards to see! :) And if yall want to check out my pinterest, I wouldn't object to that ;) Not to toot my own horn but I think I have a pretty killer hat board.

A TROLL who tweeted a vile message about JK Rowling tried to pass it off as a joke yesterday.
Alan Lappin, 30, joined in the torrent of abuse from cybernats after the Harry Potter author revealed she had given £1million to Better Together.
He tweeted: "F*** JK Rowling, and f*** Harry Potter – he's a c*** as well." # c***.
But when the Record tracked him down yesterday near his home in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, he claimed he wasn't being serious.
Lappin said: "I take it this is about this thing from today.
"Can I just level with you buddy, I'm a wind-up merchant mate. I've not even decided what side of the fence I'm on."
Lappin insisted he was not trying to intimidate Rowling, saying: "I never directed it at her."
But he added: "I would offer my apologies anyway. I probably shouldn't
have said it."
The Record reproduced Lappin's tweet yesterday among other attacks on Rowling. He said
someone had texted him to tell him his words were in the paper.
Lappin added: "I'm absolutely apologising. It was just an off the cuff comment, which I regret saying, but it has been done now, so I do apologise, aye.
"A couple of my pals did say something about it. I shouldn't have said what I said."
Lappin said he posted the tweet on his tea break but refused to say what he did for a living.
He admitted he generally used "kind of colourful" language in his tweets but insisted he wasn't motivated by hate.
He said: "You know what I use Twitter for now generally? A laugh and a joke and stuff about the football, that's about it.
"It wasn't directed at her, it was meant to be humorous and it wasn't. That is
basically the crux of it.
"One or two of my friends did say it could have been worded differently, shall we say. Obviously, I apologise. I would rather not be quoted in the paper at all."
Rowling said she was supporting the Union because of concerns over the risks of independence, but stressed her respect for the thoughtful Scots who backed Yes.
That didn't save her from the fury of cybernats.
One tweeted: "JK Rowling ya better together smelly horrible unite the union cow bag a***hole c*** ye."

Take note, Southern Nevadans: If you own one of the estimated 100,000 homes that experts predict will be lost to foreclosure before the protracted housing crisis comes to an end, you may see a massive tax hike this time next year.
A law that has waived homeowners' tax liability for any mortgage debt that was forgiven through modified loans, short sales or foreclosures is expiring at the end of 2012. If Congress doesn't vote for an extension this year, forgiven debt will again be taxed as regular income — just as it was before 2007, when the provision was passed after the housing bubble burst.
In the past four years, the law has waived the tax liability for tens of billions of dollars in forgiven mortgage debt, saving families who are either severely underwater on their mortgages or have lost their homes tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes they would have otherwise owed the federal government.
To the congressional delegation from Nevada, the hardest hit and most foreclosure-ridden state in the nation, extending the provision seems a no-brainer, at least in concept.
But even though the expiration date is months away, some lawmakers are bracing for an uphill battle.
The main fight in Congress this year is over how to balance the federal budget, or at least reduce deficit spending. The constant partisan back-and-forth over how best to do that essentially boils down to two options: cut more or tax more.
But also in the mix is a third option: getting rid of tax loopholes.
To the Democrats, that means eliminating subsidies for the oil and gas industries and eliminating tax write-offs for luxury items. To some Republicans, waiving taxes for forgiven debt for foreclosed homeowners looks like a tax giveaway, experts say.
"There are many on both sides of the aisle who believe ... the way to (bring the debt down) is to get rid of special-interest earmarks in the tax code. And for some, this is how this will be presented," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office, who now heads up the conservative-leaning American Action Forum.
He said last week that he expects Republican House freshmen affiliated with the Tea Party to sound the loudest alarm on "tax-code 'bailouts'."
(For proponents of extending the tax waiver on forgiven debt, it probably doesn't help that the provision, initially adopted in 2007, was extended through 2012 as part of the same bill that orchestrated the bank bailout.)
"Past this year, if you start doing tax reform, that reform is about getting rid of all sorts of special provisions," he said.
Not all Republicans see the tax waiver as an extension of free money to troubled homeowners. Nevada's Republican lawmakers expressed support for extending the program.
A spokesman for Rep. Joe Heck said he is in favor of an extension.
Staffers for Rep. Mark Amodei called the tax waiver "a good program" that should be extended as long as lawmakers could find money elsewhere in the budget to offset the $2.7 billion the federal government won't be collecting over a two-year extension of the program.
Sen. Dean Heller said Monday that he couldn't see how it made sense "to tax income people have never seen," as would be the case if the program were allowed to expire.
But the opinions of Nevada's Republicans may not matter as much as the opinion of one Republican from Ohio: House Speaker John Boehner.
In 2007, when lawmakers last went on record about this program, Boehner was one of just 27 lawmakers — all Republicans — who voted against the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, as it was named. (Heller, Rep. Shelley Berkley, and Sen. Harry Reid, the only current members of the Nevada delegation who were representatives in 2007, all supported it.)
Boehner's district in Ohio hasn't been as hard-hit as Southern Nevada. But Boehner was joined in that "nay" vote by four House members representing four of the top 10 congressional districts hardest hit by foreclosures at the peak of the crisis.
The House speaker hasn't made any moves to extend the tax waiver. But some Democrats, led by House Ways and Means Committee members Jim McDermott of Washington and John Larson of Connecticut, are circulating a bill called the Tax Relief for Veterans and Homeowners Act.
The bill was presented to lawmakers in a letter that began circulating in Congress on Feb. 10, one day after the federal government and 49 state attorneys general struck a $25 billion settlement deal with the country's five biggest mortgage banks.
"Unfortunately, our existing tax law would treat much of this relief as income that homeowners would have to pay tax on," McDermott and Larson's letter reads.
Their bill extends the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act provisions for all principal reductions for three years and gives special consideration to veterans who were wrongfully foreclosed on.
Berkley, who is on the Ways and Means Committee and co-chairwoman of a special Democrats' task force on housing, is expected to co-sponsor the legislation.
While a potential legislative vehicle hasn't yet emerged in the Senate, Reid is expected to push for an extension, possibly as part of the lame-duck tax bill many are anticipating will dominate the postelection agenda of 2012.
But it could come sooner: President Barack Obama called for an extension of mortgage forgiveness tax relief in his fiscal 2013 budget — and fiscal 2013 starts Oct. 1 this year.
The big question, however, is what might happen in the interim, as homeowners sitting on distressed properties watch Congress and wonder whether lawmakers will be able to pass an extension before it's too late.
"Even the uncertainty related to passage of the bill can quickly hold back economic recovery," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, which strongly backs an extension of the tax relief for forgiven mortgage debt.
"If people have to plan to pay taxes on debt forgiveness, then they will quickly retrench to say they cannot go out and spend, because they need to save money for this unknown tax amount that may be out there," Yun continued. "In terms of the economic impact, disproportionally, places like Nevada and Florida will be much more affected."
The taxes that would be levied on forgiven debt, counted as extra income, are a one-shot deal: Just as taxes are applied to income in the year that it is earned, forgiven debt would only be taxed in the year it was received through a principal reduction, foreclosure or short sale.
A worst-case scenario could also be a modest run on the housing market in the next 10 months as owners of distressed properties try to dump them before the end of the year.
"If, say, there's an added rush to bring properties onto the market(for example, speeding along a short sale), added supply always means lower prices, so the lower prices would hamper this housing recovery," Yun added. "Honestly it depends on whether or not there are buyers able to absorb all of this supply coming onto the market."
A more likely impact from the uncertainty could be the Obama administration's push for mortgage modification.
While underwater homeowners have been begging for banks to reduce the principal on their loans, homeowners may instead opt for less-aggressive mortgage modifications that won't leave them with a tax burden in the year ahead.
Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief can be applied to up to $2 million in forgiven debt that would otherwise be taxed (about $700,000 in taxes, at the applicable 35 percent rate of taxation). Most distressed homeowners' mortgages are not that big, but without an extension of the tax break the impact can still be dramatic.
"People want to get mortgages modified, but (without the tax break) it suddenly changes the incentives for a homeowner," Yun said.

Of all the things to swallow, a camera might not be on top of anyone's list — unless you're a person suffering from a gastrointestinal problem that traditional tests have not been able to diagnose. For these people, the noninvasive capsule endoscopy offers hope for relief.
What makes the capsule endoscopy so exciting is that it provides visual access to an area that was not previously easy to see — the small intestine — and that means easier diagnosis of conditions such as ulcers, tumors and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease, doctors say.
"There is 20 to 30 feet of small intestine. The traditional high definition scopes are very good to look at the esophagus and the stomach, and the colonoscopy looks at the colon, but it was difficult to look at the small intestine," said Dr. Adnan Ahmad, a gastroenterologist with Jackson Siegelbaum Gastroenterology in Camp Hill. "Before, we relied on a barium X-ray, but it didn't give you the detail that the video capsule gives."
The capsule, which is the size of a large vitamin, contains a camera with a battery life of about eight hours — the time it takes for the capsule to travel through the digestive tract just like food does. During that time, it takes about two pictures per second, or about 50,000 to 60,000 images per eight hour study, said Sharon Malatestinic, clinical manager of the gastroenterology department at PinnacleHealth System.
The digital images are transmitted to a recorder that the patient wears as they go about their normal day. When the test is complete, the patient brings the recorder back so the images can be read by a doctor. "We don't want the capsule back," Malatestinic said. "It passes naturally in about eight hours."
The most common use of the capsule endoscopy is to search for a bleeding source, Ahmad said. If the source can't be found in the most common places — the stomach and the colon through use of an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy — doctors can use the capsule endoscopy as a further diagnostic tool to view the small intestine.
The risks to its use are small, doctors say. However, in patients who have a small bowel obstruction, the capsule could get stuck and have to be surgically removed. Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the capsule endoscopy in 2001, its use has spread to hospitals and doctors' offices around the country, including many in the midstate.
PinnacleHealth added the capsule endoscopy to its services at the Community Campus in Lower Paxton Twp. about eight months ago and it's doing the job they wanted it to do, Malatestinic said. "The capsule provides easier detection of abnormalities so it makes it easier to diagnose abnormalities of the small bowel, tumors, and abnormal bleedings," she said.
The capsule can also help doctors more definitively diagnose celiac disease, a digestive disease characterized by intolerance to gluten that blood work and other tests don't readily show, Ahmad said. The capsule endoscopy can show subtle changes in the lining of the small intestine indicative of celiac disease, he said.
However, doctors can't take biopsies with the capsule endoscopy procedure, so it was important to find a way to address the results that the video capsule discovered in the previously unseen territory of the small intestine, said Dr. Charles Dye, medical director of endoscopy at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
"A doctor in Japan invented a way to advance a scope deeper through the bowel by adapting an overtube for an endoscope, which is a more rigid device that you put the scope through in order to get it into the stomach and advance it further," Dye said.
The balloons allow the scope to advance further, giving a visual examination of the small bowel that was only previously reachable through invasive surgery, he said. These revolutionary tools have greatly enhanced how well doctors can care for patients with small intestine issues, however, the key is how to treat them once found, Dye said.
"These tools improve the yield of potential findings, but they also pick up a lot of things that may or may not cause the patient problems, but because we see them, we feel compelled to do more testing that is more invasive and has the potential of injuring the bowel," said Dye, who travels nationwide to teach doctors about the capsule endoscopy.
Still, for patients who before were frustrated by a lack of a definitive reason for their bleeding or pain, the capsule endoscopy provides not only answers, but often treatment and relief.
Though patients often wish otherwise, the capsule endoscopy is not a substitute for a colonoscopy. However, Ahmad said, research is being done for a video capsule for the colon that could be offered to certain people who are not good candidates for a traditional colonoscopy, such as those who cannot tolerate anesthesia.

While common, we don't think we will ever tire of quote cake toppers. Too sweet for words!
Let Your Personality Shine
A wedding is about the union of two people, so it's important to let both personalities shine through your theme. Your cake topper is an easy and super simple way of symbolizing who you are as a couple. Whether flamingos are your spirit animal, you are a Harry Potter enthusiast or Pokemon GO addict – you can add so much fun via your cake decor!!
Bunting & Paper
Bunting and paper toppers will work blissfully well with both rustic and girly pastel themes alike. Whether you're aiming for au natural vibes or pretty delicate details, bunting is always a winner.
Animals Lovers
These are just THE most adorable wedding cake toppers ever!!
Flower Power
Why not ditch the traditional topper and adorn your cake with fresh flowers?! Consult with your florist ahead of choosing your pretty petals, as some options may not be edible or safe due to cross contamination. Health and safety and all that…
Just Us Two – Intimate & Meaningful
We love this Polaroid cake topper – and there are lots of ways you can choose something meaningful. Maybe your something borrowed could be a cake topper passed down through your family. We also love the Together Couple Cake Topper. Simple and truly intimate.
Alternative & Quirky
Remember, it's your day. Break the rules and follow your heart – your wedding theme and details don't need to be traditional!!

New Lipstick Queen Saints
I recently finalized some swaps and received two new Lipstick Queen Saints: Pinky Nude and Berry Nude. I have a low tolerance threshold when it comes to sheer lipsticks, and the Saint formulation is one of the few I'll tolerate because you can layer it up to get decent pigment. I also find that most of the shades play well with my coloring because they're so layerable; the only shade that looked downright dreadful on me at every intensity was Coral Saint.
Same makeup, just two different lipsticks! Berry Saint has a very 90s brown pluminess to it, so I'll have to whip it out for grunge and 90s looks. Pinky Nude Saint is a wearable, beige pink shade that reminds me of Urban Decay Naked. Berry looks a smidge patchy here, but that has more to do with my application than with the actual formulation of the lipstick.

I love Pinky Saint on you. I used to own a couple Lipstick Queens but I have forgotten why I've fallen out of love with them...ReplyDeleteReplies
Hum. I know they aren't the longest-lasting out there, and some people find them drying. Maybe that's it? The shade range and the formulations just seem to work really well for me, though!Delete
they both look great on you! I may have to try some LQs...ReplyDelete
Thank you! I definitely recommend checking out the Saint line; they're pretty much the only "sheer" lipsticks I'll tolerate.Delete

Hi friends,
For further information or if you have any queries, Mail me at email@example.com or get in touch with me via INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER or you even can leave comments below J
I am back finally!! I had a hectic month of May, Final exams followed by Entrance Exams and My Thesis submissions. So till i get my results i am super free like a Free Bird (Expect more blog post) and If you have been following me on Instagram you'll know I purchased Nikon Cool Pix L340 which is super easy to use and is giving a very good picture quality. I am officially using the camera for the first time for this blog post. (*excited*)
From the moment i started my blog many of you have asked me about my Hair Care Routine and DIY coloring but I was waiting for a right moment to do this and thus expect this Post a lil detail.
Since November 2014 I didn't had a cut and even that time it was just a Damaged Hair and a Tip cut a little trim here and there without touching the length and so this length in general has been growing since my second year of graduation (2012). In between all these years I have been coloring my hair very often as you can see the ombre color on the length of my hair were once a colored roots. I was once very obsessed with the Honey Blonde color from the Streax Hair Color range and I do apply it whenever I feel the color is going lighter. It was in Jan this year I applied Red Hair color and since then with no proper care, my hair started to feel so rough, dry and became unmanageable. But thankfully I have been working on it lately and thus it's showing a better result.
1. I often change my shampoo and conditioner may be in a month or two or till I finishes my bottle.
2. I shampoo and condition my hair every alternate days and If required in between I just rinse my hair and directly apply Conditioner without using shampoo because shampooing continuously makes hair very dry.
3. Oiling is a must, I champi my hair with oil twice a week and I do oiling an hour before I go for wash, you can even leave it over night for better result and wash it next morning. Doing so will result to softer and helps your damage hair to heal and also helps for the hair growth.
4. Shampoo and condition the right way. Shampoo are for roots and conditioner for the tips.
5. Once I come out of shower I wrap my wet hair with towel and let the towel suck in more than half amount of water present on my hair. Doing so it will make you easier to blowdry later or also If you rub your hair in complete wet situation with towel than there is the possibility of getting a split ends. This method ( wrapping with the towel for approx 15-20 mins) helped me to stop growing the split ends.
6. Once the water are mostly sucked in I detangle my hair with my fingers followed by combing it with wide tooth comb.
7. If required I use Hair cream or Hair serum. ( last time I have used the streax hair serum and it was good) but its been more than a month I didn't apply any hair cream or serum.
8. I blowdry only when in hurry, otherwise I prefer Air dry.
So these are the little something I do to my hair daily, they might look quite common but trust me these are the only means for healthy hair apart from eating right.
I tried answering few of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) regarding my Hair.
Q1. How do you manage to style long Hair in this weather?
I know my hair is not too long to be unmanageable but still considering the trends these days its long enough.. haha J Jokes apart, I sometime feels so frustrate by my hair length in such heat and more over tieing my hair or doing the up knot makes me feel so heavy and often leads to head ache. So I prefer doing the simple braids or secure my hair with holder if required otherwise I prefer keeping it loose or untied hair. (Simpler the better)
Q2. How to Shampoo and Condition the right way?
So this is one of the most important thing I consider in my hair care routine. We have been shampooing and conditioning our hair all these years but did you ever notice whether you are doing it right or wrong? Doing it wrong way result to as problem like dandruff, dryness etc.
To begin with:
· Take a coin size amount of shampoo for average hair length and apply it on the wet hair, begin it from the roots. Keep adding water as required to create good amount of foam and simply massage from roots to hair lengths for like 1-2 mins.
· Rinse them off until you feel it's completely clear.
· Apply a coin size amount of conditioner to the length of your hair (below your shoulder, for short hair below your ears). Do not apply it on the roots of hair, It might create dandruff and dryness to your roots. Simply apply to the length and and tips because as your hair grows the required vitamins and nutrients are not able to reach to the complete ends so they need proper care.
· Do not roll your hair for a top knot without rinsing off the conditioner because it will again touch the scalp.
· Massage the Hair ends and tips softly and rinse it off when you feel it's enough.
· Make sure you rinse them off completely clear.
Q3. How often do we need to wash our hair?
There's no exact or specific days mentioned anywhere but after so much of experience and studies I have felt that washing them every alternate days gives the best result.
Q4. Does coloring damage hair?
No not at all. But you need to take proper care after coloring otherwise it will damage your hair. Proper care in the sense applying Hair serum and not exposing it directly in sun for too long etc.
Q5. How to bring shine to my hair? It's too dry.
What appears outside is what you are inside, Follow a proper diet. Nutrition plays a key role in hair growth and good nutrition radiates on our hair and skin. The nutrients which we eat help to fortify the hair follicles and the scalp. A balanced diet rich in proteins are highly recommended for healthy hair.
Below mentioned are some of the key points to better and healthier hair:
1. USE HEAT PROTECTANT : It's very important to use heat protectant spray or cream before using any heat on your hair without which you will burn your hair.
2. EAT RIGHT : Always follow a proper diet and Smoking is Big No No.
3. CHAMPI : Oiling your hair is very important specially before wash and giving it a lil massage wont hurt.
4. TRIM TRIM : Trim the ends every month or once in two months for healthier and faster growing hair. Cut them the so called 'spilt ends' they are good for nothing.
CURRENTLY USING TRESEMME HAIR SPA REJUVENATION SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER: They are working very well for my hair and so i decided to stick with it for one more month.
|Tresemme Hair Spa Rejuvenation shampoo and conditioner
My favorite wide tooth comb. It's from Forever21.

If it's helpful please let me know, I'll be more than happy!!
Much Love

[Guide] 5 Steps to Successful Language Training
We recently teamed up with our friends at Forbes Insights to conduct a survey of more than 200 executives around the world about the current language needs in enterprise and what companies are doing to meet their goals. Those results are available in the new comprehensive report, Best in Class: How Enterprises Succeed with Language Learning Programs.
Not only did the survey reveal the current language challenges facing companies, but what successful firms are doing to make themselves more competitive in this multinational economy. We've taken those results and formulated them into a 5-Step Guide to Successful Language Training.
We start with how to determine the value of language learning for your individual business based on your goals and the existing skills found within your workforce – the same process our survey respondents said was most valuable to them.
Of course, uncovering those existing skills within your employees is critical. What's the easiest, most effective way to conduct a language audit. What are the most-used tools and strategies? We reveal those answers and more.
Download your copy of 5-Step Guide to Successful Language Training.
Once you know where your business stands, it's time to set your goals for moving forward. What are your firm's needs both now and in the future? Those goals should be reflected both in your enterprise-wide strategy and in the individual employee development plans of your workers.
Then it's time to move forward. What does a successful implementation look like? Are you making the right tools available to your learners? What are some key performance indicators you can measure to know if you're achieving success, both externally and internally? For instance, many companies include customer satisfaction and feedback as a main KPI for language learning success.
This guide makes it easy for executives to go from knowing they need to take action toward improved enterprise language skills to making their firms more competitive in a crowded multinational landscape.

An outraged voter has launched a campaign to get more people to have their say during the General Election after learning the proportion of people who decline to vote.
Rosie Ford, of Litton, has launched the 'Vote for Someone' campaign in a bid to get apathetic Peak District folk to take advantage of their democratic privileges.
She said: "I read in the paper that 25 million people who were qualified to vote at the last election didn't vote - it's the worst it's been since the 1940s."
Shocked at this figure, Rosie decided to create badges saying 'Vote for Someone', which are now on sale in the community-run village shop in Litton, where she volunteers, at a cost of 30 pence each, with all proceeds going towards the shop.
She also contacted former Derbyshire poet laureate Matt Black, who pledged his support to her cause.
"He has written a poem that's three pages long, which he's learned off by heart," Rosie said.
"There's a wonderful line in it that sums up the issue - 'we should know by now what democracy is not, but it's still the best idea anybody has got'."
Matt will be reading out the poem outside the village shop at 3pm on Thursday, April 23, with the hope of inspiring anyone who hears him to vote.
Rosie said that people such as comedian Russell Brand, who publicly denounced voting saying he believed is created a 'disillusioned under class', are 'totally irresponsible'.
"We've got this opportunity to say what we believe in and what we want," she continued.
"If we hadn't got it we would be demonstrating."
Rosie explained that she had not launched the campaign to support a particular party, but simply to get people involved in the democratic process.
"It's just doing a little thing, but I just had to do it," she said.

School spirits?
The mid-September afternoon dragged on like any other in the sea of beige known as the Rambler Media Group offices. The skeleton staff squinted at their computer screens as the methodical tic-tic-tic of typing fingers filled the air like a familiar lullaby. Suddenly, the sharp three-toned ring of the office

Although they can catch what's going on around them, they give up being interested if it became an obstacle to their business. Sometimes they may show selfish behavior. When they said 'mine' for something, it is special for themselves.

I have a woman who emails me regularly, though I'm not sure if she realizes she's doing it. From what I can tell, she's kind of my antithesis. She's talked about vacations, stocks, and her home enough for me to guess she's in a higher tax bracket than me and she's mentioned some other things in her emails that has led me to think of her as an older woman, possibly someone whose use of the internet came late in life and really only deals with email and possibly recipe and craft sites, but certainly not work. I am making a few assumptions here, but I'm trying to paint a portrait of her for you without getting too personal, since like I said, I don't think she's aware that she keeps emailing me. One of the main reasons I assume she's not terribly familiar with using the internet is because she 1 - sends those awful chain emails that everyone in their right mind knows are annoying, a waste of time, and a source of aggravation for the majority of people out there and 2 - I keep telling her she's emailing me by mistake, but she never seems to understand how that might be or how to stop.
Someone in her life, presumably from what I've read her daughter, has almost the same name and email address as me except there's an 'a' instead of an 'e' in her last name. I've emailed LH as well as BL to let them both know that I keep getting emails meant for someone else, emails dripping with prayers and mentions of God and tea party politics, misinformation and snarky comments about Obama (which is especially annoying since there are plenty of legitimate reasons to be less than enchanted with our current president) and everything else one would expect from a typical middle to upper class religious American.
In one email, she perpetuated the idea that America ought to be run the way Wal Mart is run - after all, they have a ton of money and are really successful, right? In another email, she evidently agreed with the sentiments that illegal immigrants are the single worst issue in America - and that democrats would rather protect the rights of an illegal than the rights of a poor, defenseless fetus.
Riiiight. Pretty awesome stuff.
This latest email is a chain email, one of those 'send this to 12 people in 12 minutes or your tits will fall off' affairs, but instead of tits falling off, this was a chain letter to prove your love of God.
What? No! No self respecting religious person would trivialize their relationship with the Most Important Person In Existence by making Him/Her/It the focus of a lousy internet chain letter, would they? Oh you know they would.
Just 27 Words:
God our Father, walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses and please watch over and heal my family in Jesus name, Amen.
This prayer is so powerful. Pass this to 12 people including me. A blessing is coming to you in form of a new job, a house, marriage or financially. Do not break or ask questions.
This is a test. Does God come first in your life? If so, stop what you're doing & send it to 12 people now. Watch what he does!
My main concern through all of this is the fact that LH only sent this to 8 people. Looks like someone needs to find 4 more people to send this shit to so her god, who has evidently taken to testing people via internet memes these days, knows she puts him first in her life and she can get that sweet sweet blessing! Ching!
Also, I bet Job is pissed.

Is moving home as stressful as everyone says? According to a reputable stress scale, it's ranked just outside the top 10 most stressful events likely to occur in an average person's lifetime[1]. That seems legitimate when you consider all the legal jargon you must deal with from solicitors and estate agents – particularly if you're selling and buying, in which case you might be juggling paperwork from separate agencies while trying to organise moving vans and insurance and a dog-sitter for the actual moving day. And what if something goes wrong?
However, at Harveys Furniture, we don't think moving house is such a big deal. As long as you keep a level head and remain flexibly practical, you'll be putting your feet up on the coffee table in your brand-new living room in no time. Here's how:
Keep on top of your budget
You cannot budget for everything, but you can try to. Your outgoings will vary depending on the size and location of your new house, the amount of furniture you're bringing along with you, and how much help you're planning on drafting in to get everything from A to B. Work out as closely as possible how much you're likely to spend during the move, then save up a solid financial basis before the big day.
Organise your documents
Dealing with estate agents can seem like an uphill struggle, but they have necessary checklists and safeguards which need to be completed before any move can progress. To fulfil any credit or background checks that they require, ensure you always have all your important legal documents on-hand at all – don't just tuck them all away in a spare drawer in your sideboard.
Packing is one of the most difficult parts of moving home, so make the job easier for yourself by getting rid of anything you don't need ahead of schedule. That includes taking any olds DVDs to the charity shop and replacing any old furniture before you get into the new house. There's no point dragging your old dining table along with you if you're planning on treating yourself to a new table and chairs set a few days later.
Decorate in advance
If you plan on painting the ceilings in your new home white to brighten up the house, try to get it done ahead of your moving day. Similarly, any pre-planned aesthetic changes to wallpaper, floors, and carpets should ideally get done before you clutter up your new home with all your furniture. This isn't always feasible, as deadlines often necessitate moving in on tight time frames and budgets, but it's worth bearing in mind.
Find a quality moving service
We applaud you for thinking of going it alone when it comes to packing and shifting all your furniture into the back of a rented or borrowed van, but it's worth hiring a quality local moving service to help bare the load.
Even if you consider yourself something of a moving veteran, it always helps to have a professional or two on-hand who shifts bulk items from one place to another daily. Certain pieces of furniture can be awkward and clunky in-transit, and a professional mover will know how best to navigate your prized sofa through a tricky hallway without dismantling it. It also gives you piece of mind, knowing that all your belongings will be professionally stowed away while on the road, and insured while they're in the care of your movers.
Harveys Furniture, taking the stress out of moving home.

EDUSAT - Indian Satellite in Education - A Brief from Mysore's Prof G. L. Shekar
Thanks to the EDUSAT project, a bold initiative of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) in Karnataka became the largest connected technical university in the country. Its 113 engineering colleges are connected under EDUSAT Distance Education/e-Learning network benefiting over 120,000 students. The outcome of the pilot transmission and the programmes has given confidence to ISRO to extend the EDUSAT facility to the entire country by the end of year 2004.
As for as Karnataka is concerned, the state government initiated a project called Networking of Engineering Colleges way back in the year 2002. Realizing the critical issue of dearth of teachers, more so in Computer Science and Electronics Engineering, Karnataka government came out with an idea of providing high quality distance education through satellite and web. In order to learn the organization and management of providing distance education on a larger scale and on a continuing basis, a pilot run was held from April 15, 2002 to May 21, 2002 by transmitting Interactive Education Programme (IEP) from a government studio in Mysore to 15 engineering colleges across Karnataka by using Direct Reception System (DRS), the brain-child of ISRO. The pilot run, conducted under the aegis of the Board for Information Technology Education Standards (BITES) and VTU with Karnataka State Remote Sensing Application Centre (KSRSAC), created a great deal of interest among the students and faculty members of the colleges. A detailed report was generated highlighting the issues related to overall planning, organization, execution and technology. The report also carried the wide range of suggestions, comments and criticisms that were received from the end users.
Further, VTU recommended to Karnataka government to extend IEP to all the engineering colleges so that this pioneering effort of Karnataka will work to proliferate distance education throughout India. Indeed, the EDUSAT project has now come as a boon to Karnataka, particularly to the higher education sector.
The present EDUSAT Project allows key elements of interactivity, access, cost-effectiveness and consistency of information to students. One subject expert can simultaneously teach hundreds of students in multiple locations across a vast geographical area. The students of the remote or un-reached colleges can get the live lecture sessions of the best teacher. This initiative, therefore, addresses the major issue of paucity of faculty members in higher education.
With the full-fledged EDUSAT network and VTUs web-based e-Learning facility, the engineering students in Karnataka are poised for getting a level ground of technical training and education.
This compendium is about the addition of this new facet of satellite-based education, particularly in the technical education sector, by the Governments. Based on our experience and the lessons learnt, attempts have been made to provide an overview of the EDUSAT project and to illustrate successful implementation of the project. The e-Learning framework of VTU, which hopefully sets new standards in dissemination of knowledge, has also been described. This document, which has three chapters with diagrams and pictures besides a complete set of annexure, is intended to the EDUSAT end users like schools, colleges and universities.
