DuWayne Andre "Dude" Breault
DuWayne Andre "Dude" Breault, age 75, of Howard Lake, died Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008, surrounded by his family after surgery to repair a ruptured aneurysm in his heart.
He was born Sept. 30, 1933, to Noray (LaVenture) and Urban Breault in New Richmond, WI. DuWayne was baptized and had his first communion at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Somerset, WI.
He attended Annunciation Catholic Grade School and Washburn High School.
In 1952, DuWayne joined the Navy during the Korean War and was stationed in San Diego, CA.
He married Adele Hill April 30, 1955, at St. Rita's Catholic Church in Encanto, CA. DuWayne was deployed to Guam a short time after.
A daughter, Kim Marie, was born May 19, 1956. After his discharge from the Navy, the family made their home in Minneapolis, where DuWayne opened Star Bowling and Golf Supply in St. Louis Park in 1962.
Another daughter, Kathy Lynn, was born Oct. 4, 1966. DuWayne moved his family to Minnetonka in 1970. By this time, he was running Star Bowling in three different locations.
DuWayne and Adele had purchased 40 acres north of Howard Lake, Minnesota in 1969. Many years were spent driving the 40-plus miles from their Minnetonka home to the farm to maintain their huge garden, where DuWayne enjoyed growing tomatoes, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, melons, and even strawberries.
In 1977, Dude and Adele built a new home on their 40 acres and began a 20-year run of commuting to Star Bowling.
DuWayne is survived by his wife of 53 years, Adele; daughters Kim Barth and husband Lyle, and Kathy Johnson and husband Jerod; grandchildren Marie Butler and husband Eric, Jeremy Peterson and wife Michelle, Cody, Patrick and Taylor Barth; and great-grandchildren Austin Paesch, Blake Peterson, Caleb Butler, Ethan Peterson, and Isabelle Butler.
He is further survived by his brother, Robert Breault and wife Mary; sister Mary Erickson and husband Erick; brothers-in-law Jerry Kopveiler and Gene Hill; and sister-in-law Lee Farrier; nieces Reenan Breault, Laurie Kopveiler, Sharon Brown, Julie Wills and Laurie Garnett; and nephew David Nessel.
DuWayne was preceded in death by his mother, Noray Eva LaVenture Bistodeau; stepfather Milton Bistodeau; father Urban Breault; parents-in-law Murl E. and Sylvia Hill; brothers-in-law Murl P. Hill and Irving Nessel; and sisters-in-law Delores Kopveiler and Lois Hill.
Dude loved the sea. He and Adele returned to San Diego often throughout their marriage and purchased a home there in 1984. They vacationed there for 19 years, until Dude's health kept him from traveling.
After semi-retirement in 1997, DuWayne concentrated on "life at the farm." Even though he lived for trips to the casino, the racetrack, old bowling stomping grounds, and anywhere he could find a good deal nothing compared to his farm. He considered it a retreat and his refuge.
A memorial service took place Sunday, Oct. 12 at the Iten Funeral Chapel in Delano with Pastor Dennis Entinger officiating.
Arrangements were by the Iten Funeral Home in Delano.

In the study led by Jordi Quoidbach of the University of Liege in Belgium, over 350 adult volunteers were recruited. The subjects were university workers with jobs ranging from cleaners to senior positions. They were given questionnaires asking them about how much they earned, how much they saved, their attitudes to money, and measuring their savoring ability. Savoring is feeling positive emotions such as contentment, gratitude, joy, awe or excitement during an experience.
The results showed that the subjects who were wealthier had a self-assessed lower level of savoring ability, and this undermined the positive effects of money on their happiness, although they were overall slightly happier than the less well-off subjects.

HGTV Magazine this month featured Chic Shelf Paper in "A Month of Makeovers", part of their "Mission Makeover" series. (No link online–sorry! Page 99 of the magazine.)
They took a plain pine nightstand (often available from Overstock.com or Wayfair.com) and added paint and our Distressed Damask pattern for a cool contrast. This new nightstand adds pizzazz to any room!

Shamala Kanchan,
Dr. Kanchan was a very knowledgeable, well researched physician who obviously has years of experience under her belt. She took the time to explain what she was thinking after she had done a thorough evaluation. She did so after accommodating my schedule and meeting me on a weekend so that I did not have to miss work. Great medicine and a great experience.

In a world where festival big room jaunts reign supreme over Beatport charts, it sometimes might seem that throwback trance-infused driving electro is non-existent. Well, it might be sometimes on the main stage, but Dave All The Rave, a producer from St. Louis, Missouri, is doing his best to bring the sound back and do it his way. Today we have a new exclusive track from Dave with that style and it's seriously epic. With a driving pulse throughout, "Experiment 5" has oscillating bleeps and bloops and a ripping bassline to make something like a score for a sci-fi action movie racing scene. Imagine hearing this in the mix and as the breakdown comes in, a Star Wars or a Blade Runner sample plays, before it drops right back into the action. After hearing this one, I'm excited to hear more from this guy as he's breathing some originality and an excellent sense of tension and emotion into his tracks in a way most just don't these days.

Welcome to the History of Cosmetics
The history of cosmetics started in Ancient Egypt around 3000BC. The Egyptian people discovered the many abilities scented oils had, such as the oil's healing abilities. People used oils, eyeliner and other products to enhance their looks, all this just to honour their Gods. As the use of cosmetics found its way outside of Egypt, to places like Greece or Rome, it met resistance. In Rome, there was even a law that prevented cosmetics from being exhibited in public. Similar restrictions could be found elsewhere, but there were also much more horrible and strict punishments for people for simply wearing nail polish in public. If you were a commoner in China wearing nail polish, you could be punished with death. In Europe, the public barely had any knowledge of cosmetics. Makeup was also something you linked with prostitutes, and thus it was shunned by society. Even kings and queens made a statement that it wasn't publicly decent to wear makeup. It was only after soldiers in Europe returned from their Crusades to the Middle East that cosmetics were slowly accepted. Slowly as industry advanced chemistry as well as medicine, the cosmetics got better too. The 20th century has been the dawn of modern day cosmetics, thanks to the film industry. But as you know, the history rarely is a dance on roses. The history of cosmetics have a dark side too, and there's been toxic makeup throughout the ages. Many cosmetics were mixed with lead, which caused health issues to long-term users. There still are chemically laced, toxic cosmetics out there being sold so to avoid any health issues, read the labels.

As outlined in the leaked 2012 BlackBerry roadmap, the two new Curves (9220, 9320) will feature a dedicated BBM key. These phones are 'built to chat'. Of course, you won't be able to take advantage of this great feature unless you're in one of the emerging markets that they're released in, or feel like having a friend ship one to you. Do you think a dedicated BBM key will be very useful? This features seems reminiscent to the HTC Facebook phone.

Holy Paladin Guide for 4.3 Normal Modes
This is a Holy Paladin guide for Dragon Soul normal mode healing made based on our ptr experience. Enjoy.
Set bonuses: 2pc is not terribly good, but since the last tier's 4pc benefits spells that will be seeing less use, there is no problem with switching. The new 4pc is a large boost for the fights where you will use HR, especially Ultraxion.
Changes from 4.2 to 4.3: You will need to judge less often and use HR more often. I switched their places in my keybindings (R and space). Still, try not to let Judgements of the Pure fall off, especially since it also effects your regen now and you are less likely to have the extended judgment rage.
Don't cast HR twice in a row on the same player to make sure you don't lose any ticks and obviously always cast it on someone who is in a big group. The one in the group can be you if you can't trust anyone else to be there.
Introduction: Holy paladins do well on this boss. There is heavy damage on multiple players and you are allowed to stack up, so Holy Radiance (HR) and Light of Dawn (LoD) are effective. Divine Protection and the sprint attached to it also allow you to easily cover for soakers if they make a mistake. Both tanks take damage throughout the fight, but you might have to keep track of who is taking the melee hits and needs more healing.
Spec: You can choose your spec freely as you won't need a magic dispel, aura mastery (might be slightly useful for soaking Orbs) or extended judgment range.
Glyphs: I would recommend 40 % magic Divine Protection and Holy Shock (HS) glyphs.
The fight and tips: Morchok's stomp is the key mechanic that limits your position to a certain range from the boss. The range check seems to be slightly buggy, as I was standing within a 15 yard judgment range and didn't get hit by the supposedly 20-30 yard stomp (you are supposed to get hit). Try to position yourself inside a big group for efficient healing while making sure you're not the closest one to the boss.
If you are assigned to soaking Twilight Orbs, use your DP and sprint close to the Orb (beam attached to you turns blue). After the Orb explodes, heal the soakers up fast with LoD and HR or Divine Light (DL) so they don't die from stomp.
The phase where Morchok starts channeling black goo if good for using Divine Plea as no one should be taking damage. Make sure you run far enough (don't stand behind the closest rocks) and keep an eye out for the beginners that might need healing.
At 20 % health Morchok starts doing more damage, especially to tanks, so you might want to pop your cooldowns and keep an eye out for the tanks even if you are mainly healing the raid.
Introduction: Holy paladins are competitive but not especially good on this boss. The type of damage is somewhat random and at times your mana gets stolen, which is not good for paladins as we don't have any HoTs or shields to use before losing our mana.
Spec: Dispel isn't needed. Aura mastery might theoretically be useful, but all the phases last so long that you probably won't even notice it.
Glyphs: Consider using the word of glory glyph if you see yourself using the spell often. Glyph of Divinity might be useful for when you lose your mana.
The fight and tips: I won't go through ever possible combination of boss skills the boss gets from the bloods he sucks, but instead I'll list some tips for each one. When the blood spawn, remember that you don't have to run with the dps, you can stay and melee the boss for some mana instead if needed.
Yellow: Since this one makes the other skill more powerful, its effect varies a bit. However, it will always make the tanks take more damage so keep an eye on their health.
Blue: When boss starts draining your mana, you still have time to cast a couple of spells. Use Flash of Light if needed. After the mana draining debuff ends, you can use Divine Plea or Arcane Torrent or Mana Potion to gain mana. You can also use Hand of Sacrifice. When the blue orb is about to die, be sure to be close enough so you get your mana back.
Red: Heal the players taking damage with Divine Light.
Dark: The adds do little damage, so don't worry about it.
Green: Stay out of the green cloud and spread out 4 yards from others. Heal as needed.
Shadowed: It's uncertain which heals will add a stack on the target.
Introduction: Holy paladins do well on this boss as well. The boss mechanics force the raid to stay in tight groups which again makes HR and LoD powerful. Beacon won't be as useful because it does not transfer HR.
Spec: Aura mastery and dispel are both useful for this boss. Of course if you can get someone else to do the dispelling, you won't need the magic dispel.
Glyphs: I would recommend 40 % magic Divine Protection and Holy Shock (HS).
The fight and tips: The most demanding aspect of the battle is positioning. You have to make sure you are close enough to the orb to share the damage but you also need to move when the raids wants the orb to hit the boss. Take care not to stand in front of the boss. Being with the ranged group allows you to use LoD more easily but staying in melee is also possible if needed.
If you aren't raid healing, try to heal players who get the Disrupting Shadows debuff before they get dispelled or before you dispel the debuff from them (the dispel causes about 60k damage). Coordinating raid healing, healing the debuffed players and dispelling with other healers is useful.
When the orb hits the boss, the boss will channel heavy aoe damage so pop your Avenging Wrath (AW) and/or Divine Favor (DF) especially if the raid is low. Use HR and don't forget to use LoD when you get 3 holy power. At the beginning of this heavy aoe damage you should have a holy paladin use aura mastery with a resist aura if the damage is resistable.
Introduction: Paladins are good on this fight due to our strong cooldowns and good survivability.
Spec: Dispel not needed, aura mastery isn't that useful. Extended judgment range might benefit your slightly.
Glyphs: I would recommend 40 % magic Divine Protection.
The fight and tips: When the boss casts Shattered Ice, check who the boss is targetting and heal them. Your tank should be able to survive Focused Assault, but it does cause a significant damage spike so use WoG and Flash of Light if needed to help the tank survive. Pay attention to the Ice Tomb timer because you only get a small blue arrow above yourself if you are going to be hit with it. Ice Tombs also block line of sight, so take care to have the tank in your line of sight.
When the boss is stunned use DP and melee him from mana if needed and leave the healing to priests and druids.
Healing wise the snow phase (Frozen Tempest) is easier, but you have to pay more attention to your surroundings. Run in the inner circle close to Hagara's water shield, avoid ice falling from above and use Divine Protection to sprint if needed and Divine Shield if you are about to hit the Ice Wave behind you. The Ice Wave behind you is closer than it looks.
In the lightning phase (Lightning Storm) use HR and LoD to heal the raid as long as you are in a tight group. After that you should be standing in wherever you have range to others when the adds are being moved and using all your cooldowns to make sure that you can keep everyone you have in range alive.
Introduction: Paladins are by far the best healers for Ultraxion because of the heavy aoe damage. You'll be using HR, LoD and HS almost exclusively.
Spec: Aura mastery is probably useful when the heavy damage comes. Dispel or judgment range not needed.
Glyphs: I would recommend 40 % magic Divine Protection and Holy Shock (HS). Ascetic Crusader might be useful.
The fight and tips: The damage ramps up over the fight. Use more LoD and less HR in the beginning to conserve your mana. You can generate holy power for LoD with HS and Crusader Strike (CS). Your rotation might be HR+HS+CS->LoD. Since paladins are the most powerful aoe healers, let the other healers worry about healing the tanks (don't move beacon from tank to tank). As the fight goes on, you should first drop CS from your rotation and then possibly drop HS during the last minute, leaving you with 3xHR->LoD. Simple HR spamming is slightly more HPS but it's not a smart heal so I recommend using LoD at 3 holy power. Make sure you enter the last minute of the fight with as much mana as possible by using divine plea a bit earlier.
You should follow the cast bar for Hour of Twilight. You still have time to cast a heal or two before you have to use Heroic Will. Don't take unnecessary risks.
Red, Green and Blue buffs are all very useful to a paladin. Sprint to get the buff with Divine Protection, but make sure you don't turn back before you get it. Druids and shamans take the full benefit from the green one (presumably the extra heal does not give the target Illuminated Healing from out mastery). Red and Green don't change the way you heal but the blue does by reducing the mana cost of your heals. You still might not have enough mana to spam only HR, though.
Introduction: Paladins are decent on this fight. Divine Protection is very useful.
Spec: Aura mastery might be useful, magic dispel not needed.
Glyphs: 40 % magic Divine Protection. Consider using the word of glory glyph if you see yourself using the spell often.
The fight and tips: The humanoid adds charge and warn about it by leaving a small trail on the ground. Avoid if you can, but it's not required. As usual, the sprint from DP is useful. Don't try to get to every Twilight Barrage because you need to heal too.
After Twilight Onslaught use one HR and LoD before spreading out again. Usually you will be using DL and WoG on this fight.
At the start of phase 2 is the best time to use your cooldowns, including Divine Shield (once you get the flames on you). After Goriona stops breathing on you you should be able to heal without cooldowns. Note the increasing damage to the tank towards the end and stay out of melee range while avoiding. You'll have plenty of time to heal the melee between roars so your first priority is the tank.
Introduction: Paladins are again good. It's hard to compare performance between healers due to the healing absorbing debuff.
Spec: Aura mastery is useful, magic dispel is not needed.
Glyphs: WoG and Beacon glyphs might be useful if you cast them often.
The fight and tips: Start by standing on the side that you will make Deathwing roll to so you don't have to worry about when to move to the side. Stand near a corruption tentacle or its hole. Just before the bigwigs roll timer hits 0, enter the hole with aura mastery and Divine Protection active and leave as soon as the timer disappears. Then stand in the middle, away from the plate your raid is trying to remove.
Depending on the number of Searing Plasma debuffs on the raid you should use HL, DL or HR and of course LoD. Especially after the very first barrel roll you might choose to use HR because nearly everyone probably has the debuff. If only a few people have it, you should use single target heals. Depending on how fast Searing Plasma is removed, you might want to put beacon on one target with a (new) debuff and heal another target. Don't be overzealous when it comes to removing Searing Plasma and conserve some mana for the heavier damage that comes later from the adds.
Be fast when healing people who get Fiery Grip if they are low on health or have Searing Plasma. There is also a large responsibility with your damage dealers to interrupt it with damage as fast as possible. If you get 3 ticks they're certainly too slow. When Hideous Amalgamation becomes Superheated and starts doing aoe damage, use a cooldown (AW or DF, possibly Aura Mastery if the damage is resistable) and cast aoe heals.
With this guide you should always be aware of what to do on a specific boss. Still don't forget to discuss the boss mechanics with your other healers and go through the healing arrangements for each fight. That's how you'll get the most out of the healing kit your raid has.

Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie: A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby.
~George Herbert
It was 11 o'clock at night and I was driving home last week after a long day in Toronto. Passing through a quiet Kitchener-Waterloo I was a happy, coasting 119 speeder on a 90 km/h highway about 1/2 hour from home when I saw the lights behind me. Crap.
I pulled over, immediately pulled out my licence and registration and ownership and had it ready for when the officer came to my window. "Good evening" he started, "how are you tonight?" "Speeding apparently!" I said with a smile and handed him my documentation. The rest of the conversation went exactly like this...
Officer: "Yes you were. You were going at a pretty happy clip while I was behind you. Any particular reason for the speeding tonight?"
Me: "No, just a long day in Toronto and heading home to Stratford."
Officer: "Okay, do you know the speed limit on this highway?"
Me: "Yes. 90."
Officer: "Yes it is. And you were doing about a buck 20!"
Me: "119!" with a smile.
Officer, handing back my documents: "Okay, well fines would be about $220 and 3 points, so be careful on the way home now, okay?"
Me: "...and a lot slower too, apparently! Thank you very much!"
...and away I went. I literally drove home the rest of the way at 109 km/h with a smile on my face and tweeted about it immediately.
I learned a long, long time ago to never lie to authorities. It just doesn't work. Being truthful and owning up to one's actions is the best approach. It was watching my Dad one day in court that taught me that.
My sister was about 12 years old and had gone to our local store at the strip mall with her friend. She was taking longer than usual and then our phone rang and you could tell that she was really upset. She told my parents that she was holed up in the phone booth at the corner of the store's parking lot because there were a couple of teenage boys there harassing her and her friend. They were taunting the girls and had apparently told my sister and her friend to "suck my dick". That was all my Dad needed to hear. He rushed over to the store which was about a five minute walk in probably two minutes. By the time he had arrived, there was a police cruiser there with a couple of officers, as my sister's friend's father happened to be a police officer. My father briskly walked up to the crowd, asked my sister quickly which boy had harassed her and promptly walked through the officers, straight up to this one boy and smacked him, hard, right across the face. The police basically shrugged their shoulders and allowed my Dad to walk my sister and her friend home.
Of course, the story doesn't end there. This boy continued to harass my sister whenever he saw her in the neighbourhood and then he and his father proceeded to take my father to court for assault.
So there we are, my whole family in court. My sister, young and scared on the witness stand and the judge asks her what the boy had said to her. She made her statement, but was so shy that she was asked to repeat it "so the court could hear". "SUCK MY DICK" she was immediately burning red with embarrassment.
Then it was my Dad's turn. A former army grunt he stood in front of the judge in military stance with his legs firmly spread and with his arms clasped behind him, excepting I'll never forget that he also had hair down to shoulders, sunglasses on top of his head with a blue Adidas t-shirt, flare jeans and sandals on. It was many years later that I realized that he was Serpico incarnate and how that must've looked to the judge.
The judge says, "So, can you tell me Mr. S____ why it was this particular boy that you hit?" and my father responded with "To tell you the truth your honour, he was the only one I could get to."
Moments later, the judge dismissed the case.
Lesson learned. Thanks Dad...

Mast-Jägermeister's Jägermeister Spice//i2.aroq.com/1/1483_jager-white-vertical-logojpeg.jpg
Category - Spirits, liqueur, vanilla and cinnamon, 25% abv
Available - From today (1 October) for the month of October
Location - US, nation-wide, in "limited quantities"
Price - SRP of US$22.99 per 75cl bottle
Distribution – Sidney Frank Importing Co
Mast-Jägermeister has launched the first brand extension for its Jägermeister liqueur brand in the US. Jägermeister Spice will be available across the country for October only.
The variant features vanilla and cinnamon flavours.
Last year, Sidney Frank appointed a former Diageo executive to become marketing executive VP for Jägermeister in the US.
Jagermeister, the 7(th) largest premium spirit brand in the world and the number one selling imported liqueur in the United States, is proud to introduce Jagermeister Spice. This new innovation uniquely combines vanilla and cinnamon spices with the legendary ingredients found in the original Jagermeister recipe. Jagermeister Spice is the iconic brand's first-ever product extension in the United States and will be available nationally in limited quantities beginning October 1, 2013.
Staying true to its roots, Jagermeister Spice was inspired by the original Jagermeister recipe of 56 different herbs, blooms, roots and fruits, and also is held to the same quality standards. Both products boast a complex taste profile as a result of sourcing the finest ingredients from around the world, a lengthy maceration process and 383 quality checks.
Jagermeister Spice specifically highlights cinnamon and vanilla to create a rich and complex blend of flavors. Accentuating these premium spices in addition to the herbs found in Jagermeister's secret recipe offers the new expression a warmer taste profile; albeit one that is unmistakably Jagermeister.
"From our conversations with Jagermeister consumers, we know new flavors and unique experiences allow them opportunities to bond with their friends," said Adam Rosen, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Jagermeister at Sidney Frank Importing Company. "Jagermeister Spice offers both new drinkers and our longtime fans an innovative product that can be enjoyed in any setting. Whether served neat or mixed with cola, Spice offers new experiences and drinking occasions while delivering the same quality spirit that Jagermeister is known for."
The original recipe is both inspired by and dedicated to the deep bonds that exist between huntsmen and their craft. Jagermeister Spice builds on this legendary history by offering a new, modern take on the iconic brand.
"As our first major product extension in the United States in more than forty years, the launch of Jagermeister Spice signals an exciting moment in the company's history. Although Spice is certainly a unique take on our signature recipe, it also stays true to the original blend of Jagermeister, recognized as one of the most iconic spirits brands in the world," says Michael Volke, Member, Executive Board, Mast-Jagermeister SE.
Jagermeister Spice will be available in limited quantities in October with a suggested retail price of $22.99 for 750ml. With an ABV of 25%, Jagermeister Spice is best enjoyed neat or as a shot at room temperature, so as to let its unique flavor notes shine through.

International News Production I is over.
I'll be frank from the start: from how it was presented, I expected more Snowfall and less Buzzfeed.
That was a provocation. I'm not regretting my choice at all. Of course, not everything clicked with me. Some things I found painfully slow, like learning to work on Photoshop and Premiere (which I already knew how to use). Nevertheless, there was always room for improvement: what does this button do? Is there a more time-efficient way to do this?
But of course, it wasn't just a how-to module. I was pleasantly surprised by the training in basic news reporting, which I feared I'd be missing out on when I skipped on the Broadcast pathway.
Not every day was brilliant, of course. At times I found groupwork quite slow. But then again, that is the norm in every newsroom. If nothing else, I feel like my cooperation and leadership skills gained from it.
What I enjoyed the most, though, is undoubtedly the CMS and SEO teaching.
These used to be two mysterious acronyms that I saw on every writing job posting and regularly prevented me from applying. However, once I gained an insight into them, and learned which elements actually do what, I felt like I had truly mastered the art of information engineering.
Well, that was a bit pretentious. But hey, at least I know how to make my portfolio pop up on the first result. Hopefully that's a start.

To run a system file check (SFC)
Go to start>Type CMD
Right click and run as Administrator
(called an elevated command prompt)
If you want to verify and repair the OS type sfc /scannow (note the space between sfc and "/")
If you just want to check (verify only) the OS type sfc /verifyonly (no changes will be made using verify only)
You may have to run this up to 3 times to fix all the problems
When you have finished it will say one of three things
Windows did not find any integrity violations (a good thing)
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and repaired them (a good thing)
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing) If you get this message run DISM as described below
If SFC was not able to repair some or all of the files there are a few options including a repair install from the OS dvd, and DISM (win 8 & UP)
If SFC did not find any violations it is still a good idea to run DISM Restorehealth
If you are on win 8 (and up) you should also run DISM whether SFC found errors or not!!
From an elevated command prompt
You can run Check, then Scan, but you should always run RESTORE HEALTH
To check the health (You would use /CheckHealth to only check whether the image has been flagged as corrupted)
run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
To scan the health use /ScanHealth to scan the image for component store corruption. This option does not fix any corruption.
run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
To RESTORE health (recommended)
Use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to scan the image for component store corruption, perform repair operations automatically, and records that corruption to the log file. This generally takes 15-30 minutes depending on the corruption and size of the partition
You can run scanhealth & restore health at the same time like this
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth && DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth . (please note the space after "dism", & "online" & "image") If the repair is successful you may want to re-run SFC just to check.
After running DISM it is a good idea to re-run SFC /scannow to make sure all the issues were fixed.
If you get the error message "cannot find source files"you need to have an ISO file mounted and need to specify where it is located with the below command
The ISO must be exactly the same version as the running OS. An ISO of 10586.0 will not repair a running system of 10586.35 because it has additional updates and files.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess Where "X" is the drive letter where the ISO is located. Simply change the "X" to the correct drive letter
If you do not have an ISO you can make one. The instructions are here

|Made several small scale models using stiff card to test out shapes before cutting the posterboard.
|Cut a foamcore sheet to make the two sides and positioned on a base sheet.
|Messed about with the positioning til I was happy with it.
|Used tape to keep the boards in place while I used the hot glue gun.
|Cut the styrofoam balls in half for eyes and warty bumps; also grabbed a conical piece left over from a previous project.
|Clued on horn, eyes, and small warty bumps.
|Decided I needed a tail (or fin) sticking up for dramatic effect, so I sketched one on a foam sheet and cut two pieces.
|Tail glued on!
|Proper kraken have spiky bits down the back.
|Must have scary teeth: soft foam teeth on top, foam core on bottom. Deliberately made teeth slightly different sizes and added notches and chips for "ooglyness" (yes, that's a word).
|Proper monsters are green.
|Painted eyes yellow for contrast. Decided to add appropriately weird tongue; sparkly purple seemed like a good color choice at the time.
|Black spray paint on inside of kraken, darkest at the back but light near the mouth for blending later.
|Just add water.
|Added some watery effect squiggles with markers. Also carved out horn and eyes to add small wooded button pupils.
|Tongue shaded with black at back and glued in; red pupils glued in place.
|Eye rims glued on and final paint touch-ups.

The same could be said for Ray Manzarek. Without his underrated touch on keyboards, helping keep the rhythm on the bass pedals, and his meeting up with Morrison at UCLA, The Doors' sound could have never been the same.
The Doors gave it their best shot without Morrison, recording two albums after he died in July of 1971. Manzarek didn't stop there, not by a long shot, even coming up with the Doors of the 21st Century in 2002. The magic came in its original form.
When word of Manzarek's death from a battle with bile duct cancer came on Monday, many people didn't want to believe it. A hoax had already made the rounds in the days before. This time, though, it was no hoax. Manzarek was gone at age 74.
The vital cog in the existence of The Doors is gone. The music remains.

Media 072715 ENFA
Mexico launches 'National Effort against Addictions'
of the Mexican Presidency
Earlier today [July 22], Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto led the "United against Addictions"
event, in which the bases for cooperation between the Secretariats of Defense, the Navy, and Health were signed to create
a common front through the National Effort against Addictions (ENFA*) to address the use and abuse of addictive substances
in Mexico.
Noting that
the use and abuse of addictive substances is a public health problem, a disease that destroys people, harms the family environment
and damages the social fabric, the president explained that in ENFA, which is part of the Program for Addiction Prevention
and Care presented last January, the armed forces will, "Not only continue to work for domestic security, to support
all the actions that allow us to achieve a Mexico with peace and tranquility," but will now also be incorporated into
the prevention of addictions.
president pointed out that with the technical support of the National Commission against Addictions, those involved in the
National Military Service of the Armed Forces will participate in addiction prevention, "So that Mexican society is
better informed, and more aware of the risks of using a toxic substance or drug that endangers their lives and home environment."
He added that, "They will take
part in the promotion work already undertaken by 116 Youth Integration Centers and 338 Primary Care Centers for Addictions
and Specialized Medical Care Units."
In short, he added, "We are multiplying and expanding the efforts by civil society organizations, the federal
government, and state governments to prevent addictions."
He said that as with other diseases, the best way to deal with addictions is preventive,
rather than corrective. "Although correction is required, the most important thing is prevention," he explained.
President Peña Nieto said that
with patriotism and dedication, soldiers and marines, members of the National Military Service, the Health Platoons of the
Battalions, students and graduates of the School of Military and Naval Education, and civil promoters and volunteers will
visit rural communities, neighborhoods and districts to undertake work to prevent addictions.
"In short, Mexico will have a large army of prevention,"
he said.
He said that
the goal for 2018 is to have trained over 770,000 promoters. This will allow us to reach a target of at least 7.7 million
people throughout the country. Through prevention, we will deal with this threat and prevent this disease from putting an
end to the dreams of young people and families."
The president said that next year, "We will actively participate in the special session
convened by the United Nations to review the global drug problem."
He said that figures from surveys undertaken of middle school and high school
students, "Prove, first of all, that there are growing levels of use among young people at these educational levels,
at this stage of their lives, while on the other hand the same surveys show that a high percentage, almost eight out of 10
young people, when asked about whether they have ever used drugs say that they are aware that using them harms their health
and constitutes a great risk, which is why there is a need to give Mexican society more information."
Therefore, he said, "I am convinced
that in the effort we are making today, the participation of our Armed Forces in this task to prevent addiction will yield
very positive results for Mexico."
The president noted that, "As president and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, I would once again like
to express my gratitude to the soldiers on land, sea and air for their determination and results in the fight against this
social scourge," which are drugs and addictions.
He declared that, "The joint actions of the Armed Forces, the Federal Police, the PGR,
and CISEN have been instrumental in reducing violence and restoring the tranquility of Mexican families, as borne out by the
data released yesterday by INEGI, an autonomous entity of the Mexican government that produces indicators for making public
policy decisions that will enable the country to advance towards scenarios of greater progress and further development."
The president added that yesterday
it was announced that the homicide rate recorded in 2014 was 16.4 per 100,000 inhabitants, "An improvement of 26 percent
over the rate that existed when I took office in 2012, which was 22.2 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants."
He stressed that this, "Is perhaps
the most important parameter for measuring the security conditions of any country, state or city. The number of murders committed
per 100,000 inhabitants is one of the most important indicators for determining the peace conditions that exist in a society."
He said that it is very encouraging
that this figure is showing a clear downward trend, and that this is a commitment, "To continue working in close coordination
with the government agencies involved in public security; with the states so that, by making a common front, as we have done,
we will continue to lower the rates of insecurity in the country and attain the objective and purpose we have set out to achieve:
a Mexico of peace and tranquility for Mexican society."
Contributing to the Loftiest Causes of the Nation is a Commitment of the Armed Forces:
Admiral Soberón Sanz
Admiral Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz, Secretary of the Navy, said that, "Contributing to the loftiest
causes of the nation is a commitment of the Mexican Armed Forces; a goal that allows us, soldiers and sailors, to unite with
concrete actions that benefit society in general and the youth and children of our country in particular."
Moreover, he said, this is, "A
joint desire by government institutions to offer all Mexicans a better future."
He said that, "Having a society free of addictions contributes to strengthening
our nation," which is why, he said, "Addressing this phenomenon in a comprehensive way means fighting those who
threaten the health of our children and youth."
He explained that the collaboration bases signed by the Secretaries of the Navy, National Defense, and Health, in
the presence of President Enrique Peña Nieto, will make it possible to jointly address the challenge posed by addictions
in Mexico.
He noted that
this agreement and the programs that will be implemented by the Secretariat of Health and the Armed Forces, "Will contribute
to the dissemination and promotion of preventive measures in this national effort against addictions."
This, he said, will provide, "A
comprehensive strategy that will allow us to establish a central addiction prevention program, a national effort that has
the commitment of the government's agencies."
He explained that this is, "A strategy led by the president, which the Mexican Armed
Forces endorse with conviction to create greater social union based on family life and the strengthening of the detection,
treatment and prevention of addictions."
He considered that, "The union of wills between society and government will bring this great ship called Mexico
to safe harbor."
Actions and Combined Efforts are Crucial to Eliminating Addictions: Mercedes Juan
After praising the important and noble work of the Army
and Navy, Health Secretary Mercedes Juan López told President Enrique Peña Nieto that joint actions, the sum
of efforts and the creation of synergies, "Are key factors in closing off the path of addiction, so that, as you have
pointed out, our children and adolescents will not reduce their opportunities for a better future."
She said that, "The valuable participation of members
of the Armed Forces, whom I thank once again, will strengthen addiction prevention programs for the benefit of children and
young people."
Mexico, she explained, according to the National Survey on Drug Use in Students, undertaken by the Dr. Ramón de la
Fuente Muñiz National Institute of Psychiatry, with support from the Secretariat of Education, most students have not
used drugs, "Which gives us an important window of opportunity for prevention." According to the survey, she said,
17.2 percent of middle school and high school students have used illegal drugs at some time in their lives.
She said that, "Drug use sometimes
begins at the age of 12, while the growing tendency to use alcohol and tobacco among women is a serious concern for the government
and society as a whole."
She announced that due to the cooperation bases signed, next Saturday will mark the simultaneous start of the National
Effort against Addictions in the 190 National Military Service Training Centers, where 43,000 soldiers and marines will participate
in a workshop on the risks and consequences of drug use, among many other actions included in the document.
Mercedes Juan López announced
that next year, at the UN General Assembly, in a special session on drug use, Mexico will have the opportunity to present
the new model of a comprehensive public health approach in its drug policy, encompassing prevention, treatment, recovery and
rehabilitation, and social reintegration activities.
Prevention involves the Three Levels of Government: Mondragón y Kalb
Manuel Mondragón y Kalb, Head of the National Commission
against Addictions (CONADIC), told President Enrique Peña Nieto that, as a result of his administration's guidelines,
a clear government policy was established for the prevention of addictions to ensure, both efficiently and continuously, the
achievement of the results, tasks and efforts implemented by the three levels of government and society."
Mondragon y Kalb stated that, "Your
instructions are being followed. Your concern about the problem of psychoactive substances and the damage they cause people
and their environment, the reduction in the starting age of both legal and illegal drugs, all leads us to prioritize the task
of prevention within a joint effort by government and citizens."
The National Commission against Addictions leader declared that, "The
efforts are on the right track. Today we continue to close ranks with you. With you and your government policies, to share
your unwavering purpose of achieving a better country for all Mexicans."
He reported that CONADIC is visiting states so that together with governors
and mayors, "We will promote the creation or restoration of the State and Municipal Committees on Addictions."
He added that, in accordance with
the instructions of President Peña Nieto, the following programs are to be implemented throughout the country: Don't
Drink and Drive, and One Hundred Percent Smoke-Free Closed Spaces, in addition to reinforcing the actions of prevention, treatment,
research and training corresponding to the different regions in our country.
In addition, he said, "We are working closely and undertaking joint actions
with private, academic, business and media organizations and those with a high level of civic representation."
"We wish that there were no
addicts, that there were no sick people, that young people would not be attracted to the drugs that degrade, destroy and make
the future of many a denial of the future. But since this is impossible, let us pour imagination, effort and technology into
reducing and solving the problem. The national effort to cope with addictions will therefore now include soldiers and marines
completing their National Military Service, staff comprising of the armed forces and volunteers who today begin their invaluable
participation," he said.

It seems I found bug!
I turn off "Require Password repeat" in registration form for my new user. I use 3 input-field only: name, password, e-mail. It's all. But when I push the submit-button -> alert "Password didn't match".
Why??April 30, 2014 at 3:46 pm #19704
You sure you are not using any other registration plugin?
Also, from form setup area "Require Password repeat" tick off?April 30, 2014 at 4:08 pm #19706
Thank for the fast reply!
Yes, I'm sure i don't use any other registration plugin.
"Require Password repeat" tick off.
I have plugin "sexy login". But i use it for login users only (registration function is off).April 30, 2014 at 4:14 pm #19707
can you deactivate that plugin and check it error still exist?April 30, 2014 at 5:27 pm #19709
Of course I did it!
Deactivate that plugin and error still there.
I test your plugin on another absolutely clean (new) site and the same error too.
p.s. I use wordpress 3.9May 1, 2014 at 2:09 pm #19753
Excuse me. What about this problem?May 2, 2014 at 2:55 am #19783
Its a valid bug. Thank you for bringing this out. I forwarded this to Developer team. Should be fixed ASAP.May 6, 2014 at 2:18 pm #19968
Hello @ilya Goncharov,
Just letting you know this issue been fixed in next version which will be available soon.
Marking this topic as resolved.May 6, 2014 at 3:15 pm #19970
Buy the way, "password strength meter" it's NOT password strength meter. It's indicator matches ONLY. You know that? 🙂May 6, 2014 at 4:51 pm #19978
And one more.
Go to Forms -> Add form -> Post fields -> and "post body" button. Such field as "Size, Rows and Columns" are works when selected "Normal" (in textarea) only. And when selected "Rich textarea" or "Teeny Rich textarea" fields "Size, Rows and Columns" doesn't works.
I hope you understand me.May 22, 2014 at 9:22 pm #20844

I have the same problem with the Post Body field. The sizing settings seem to be ignored when using either Rich text option.
With any option, the Columns setting is having no effect.
I'm using the WP 2014 theme, updated, and the page is using the Full Width template.May 23, 2014 at 5:35 am #20856
It is a well known issue with Rich Text editor. Currently WPUF using default WordPress Rich editor. Dev Team is aware of this. Hopefully they will come up with a solution.May 23, 2014 at 9:00 pm #20884
JeffreyMemberPost count: 2
Just a quick update. I switched through the themes that are included with WP, and with 2012 it works as expected. No issues setting rows and columns.
I installed a new theme (free) called WordPlus, and it also works just fine.
I'm trying to see what it is in the newer WP themes that is not allowing the sizing to work, but haven't found anything specific yet. In all honesty, I'm not that good at troubleshooting CSS!
If someone who is a CSS guru would look at it, I'm pretty sure they'll spot the issue pretty quickly.May 24, 2014 at 12:03 am #20892

As Ilya first pointed out, the password strength indicator does not work when typing the first password. Only when you start to type the 2nd password it then activates the matching process.
Chrome Console flags the error as "Uncaught ReferenceError: zxcvbn is not defined"
Is this an error with the default password plugin or is it something to do with your plugin?May 24, 2014 at 2:47 am #20907
paulMemberPost count: 3
Ok it turns out the issue is that the password strength plugin (which is a default wordpress plugin and not WPUF's) is not calling a required js file when used with WPUF
I managed to get it to work by adding the following to the "wp-content/plugins/wp-user-frontend-pro/wpuf-functions.php" file
* Enqueue script for password strength meter
function password_score_script() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'zxcvbn-async', '/wp-includes/js/zxcvbn-async$suffix.js', array(), '1.0.0', true );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'password_score_script' );
Add the above to the end of the functions file and it should then work as expected.
The topic 'Bug -> Password didn't match' is closed to new replies.

Does success for your business mean more than just profit? Pledging with EG allows you to commit to donating a percentage of your personal proceeds (following an exit) to charitable causes, right from the beginning of your journey. This embeds purpose into the core of your company, allowing your mission to thrive in the culture of your business as you grow.
From the talented employees who will want to join your journey and help take your growth to the next level, or the customers who will love your story and stay loyal to your brand, nothing says different like making a difference.
You get to choose the percentage, and you too can choose where the donation goes. Plus, it costs nothing until you sell your start-up, as you only donate on your personal proceeds from the sale. All you have to do is sign the pledge. Simple! Some say luck isn't a coincidence…
As an entrepreneur, you hope in time to reap the rewards of all of your hard work and dedication to your business. When in the fortunate position to do so, many choose to give back in some way to a charity close to their heart. The aim of this Deed of Pledge is to formalise your commitment at the start of your journey, despite only having to make a donation in the fullness of time when you are able to do so.
Why are we suggesting a formal Deed of Pledge? You might just want to make a promise to yourself? We believe that this formal Deed crystallises your commitment to grow your business with purpose and to be part of a community of like-minded entrepreneurs. With the credibility of such a gesture, you can then begin to use your purpose-led business to attract new talent and customers.
All you have to do is sign the Deed of Pledge and decide what percentage of your final proceeds you would like to donate to the charity of your choosing.
If you sign this Deed of Pledge and deliver it to Entrepreneurial Giving (which receives the pledge initially, on behalf of the charity) the promise is irrevocable and will also bind your estate, ensuring that your wishes are respected and carried out. We therefore recommend that you keep a copy of this pledge form with your Will.
When Do I Make the Donation?
A donation only becomes due if your business undergoes a liquidity event (for example, selling of shares or the whole company). When you personally make a profit from such event, the donation will become due. There is no time limit on this; if there is no liquidity event, then no donation will ever become due.
(A liquidity event is the sale of all or a substantial part of the company's business, the sale of any of your shares in the company, the company's listing on a relevant stock exchange (subject to lock in provisions) or the company's solvent dissolution)
Note that if you, or your estate, were to sell or transfer your shares at an undervalue then this would also be a liquidity event and would trigger a donation of your chosen percentage of the actual proceeds. In other words, if the shares are sold for less than they are worth, your pledge will still hold.
If, following this, there is a subsequent liquidity event in respect of those shares, then you (or your estate) would be responsible for fulfilling the pledge – even if you have not received the proceeds directly yourself. Of course, any amount already paid to the charity after the undervalue transaction will be deducted from the sum owed on the subsequent liquidity event.
How Much Do I Donate?
You choose! You get the select the percentage of the proceeds you wish to donate to charity.
We define your 'proceeds' as the amount you personally profit from a liquidity event, less:
Tax Relief on the Donation
In order to receive tax relief on the donation, you must complete and return the Gift Aid form to Entrepreneurial Giving. This can be done when the donation is actually made and enables your chosen charity to recover tax – and if you are a higher rate taxpayer, it enables you to claim a deduction of the higher rate tax when you submit your tax return.
Donating through Gift Aid essentially means charities can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It won't cost you any extra.
For further information on Gift Aid: https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid
Where Does the Money Go?
Again, you get to choose. You can decided to donate to a specific charity (named by you in your Deed of Pledge) or you can donate to a Donor Advised Fund (also known as a DAF).
A DAF is a charity that allows you to open up a charitable fund in your name (like having your own foundation, without the cost!). You can make donations into your account and then decide how the funds are to be used. The great thing about using a DAF is you don't have to decide now where you would like to donate the money. Once you've made the transfer into your DAF account, it will stay there until you decide which registered charity (or charities) it should be transferred to.
DAFs can also provide you with a tax statement to show how much you have donated at the end of the tax year, making claiming back tax much simpler! They can even advise on effective charitable giving if you're unsure where to donate to.
We're working with Charities Trust, who will gladly receive your deed until you're ready to decide where you would like to donate to. You can find out more about Charities Trust here: www.charitiestrust.org.uk
Signing the Deed of Pledge
So, you've decided you really want to do this. You want to embed purpose right at the heart of your company for generations to come. You stand for more than profit and you're not afraid to shout about it!
In order to make the pledge, all you need to do is fill in the following information via our website:
You then need to sign the Deed of Pledge in the presence of a witness, who must also sign and print his or her name and address. (The witness should be an independent person and not a close family member).
The Deed must then be dated at the top, scanned and returned to [email protected].
We will receive it on behalf of the relevant charity or DAF and share this with them when it becomes necessary. We recommend that you keep the original somewhere safe, perhaps with your Will.
The information provided above is accurate as at Tuesday 12th September 2017 and is reviewed in September each year.
With thanks to BWB and EY, we've produced a simple and tax-efficient pledging document that takes the form of a deed – which is legally binding.
This is a personal commitment made by the entrepreneur, founder, owner or shareholder with control over the start-up's ethos. Thankfully that means no board approval is necessary (if you have one that is!).
Pledging takes less than 5 minutes and you get to choose the percentage donated (minimum 1%) and which charity to donate the money to (though you don't have to decide that today). No donation is made unless you have a liquidity event (e.g. if you sell your business) – this is simply a promise that you will do so in that eventuality.
Once you've pledged, you're free to enjoy the benefits of joining our EG community and focus on growing your start-up to the success it deserves to be. If however you'd prefer to pledge anonymously, you can select this option in your profile.
For further information, please view the 'Pledge Guidance' above.
You can download an preview copy of the EG pledge by pressing on the image to the left.
Entrepreneurial Giving is a movement to nurture a new generation of purpose-led businesses.

:: December 2007 Letter ::
As an aircraft forecaster, I like things simple. Expensive fuel = high ticket prices = fewer passengers. Airlines get squeezed between slack demand and higher fuel-related operating costs. Airlines buy fewer jets. Bad. All bad.
Unless of course high fuel prices are good. The recent Dubai Air Show confirmed what we've suspected for years: the Gulf States are converting their oil wealth into an aviation industrial policy. A rainstorm of jetliner orders in a desert of aviation in a strained metaphor going nowhere…let's look at the facts. If you take the current jet backlog and run it through Teal's pricing estimates, you come up with impressive numbers: Mideast carriers represent 14% by value of the total Airbus/Boeing backlog (492 jets worth $66.4 billion out of a total backlog of 6,329 jets worth $486.6 billion) and 21% of the twin aisle backlog (421 jets worth $63.2 billion out of a total backlog of 2,168 twin aisle jets worth $291.1 billion).
Contrast these backlog figures with Airbus and Boeing's latest 20-year demand projections. Airbus says the Mideast should account for 4% of future jet deliveries (by planes). Boeing says 7% (by value, so the two forecasts are compatible). Mideast orders, therefore, are running at twice the anticipated rate. Three ways to explain this:
1. It's a bubble. The traffic numbers sure look that way. Mideast origin & destination traffic growth figures don't justify that backlog (again, see those Airbus and Boeing forecasts, which are based on traffic). But if a bubble is well-funded, it's not a bubble. If oil stays above $60-70/barrel, the money will be there. Bill King, Washington State's Aerospace Trade Manager, Dubai show attendee, and fellow metaphor dispenser, went skiing at that legendary indoor shopping mall. As he explained, that desert ski slope is an artificial creation, like an airline capacity bubble. But as long as somebody pays the snowmaking bills, that ski slope is with us. So rule out a bubble, leaving two other options:
2. Mideast airlines are hunting other people's traffic. Yep. Singapore has done a great job playing the Sixth (and Fifth) Freedom game for years—using Changi as a hub for traffic between two other points. Now imagine the Mideast as Singapore, only with better geography and an awful lot more cash. Emirates is just the start. Qatar, Etihad, and Yemenia (Yemenia???) all want in on the action too.
3. Mideast lessors are hunting other people's leasing business. Also likely. Orders at Dubai positioned DAE Capital to be the world's third largest lessor, right after ILFC and GECAS. As with Emirates and the Emirate wannabes, DAE is inspiring many other Mideast lessors to get in the game. Sure, they're buying at the peak of the market, but they don't care. Like Mideast carriers, they're a lot less focused on profit and have access to virtually limitless capital. They're also hiring talented people. Legacy lessors face the unpleasant choice of yielding market share or competing on price, watching margins erode. This is totally compatible with the traffic explanation. Mideast lessors can work in tandem with local airlines to absorb and re-market excess or retired jets.
Most other airlines and lessors care solely about profit. They price their products and run their businesses accordingly. These Mideast players are trying to preserve oil wealth by converting it into something tangible—airlines, aircraft leasing, and aviation services. They don't need to make money, at least in the short term. Even an A380 won't lose value the way money can—dollar reserves in central banks have lost 25-30% of their value over the past year.
This is the part of the letter where I state the obvious: as a result of this aviation industrial policy, these Mideast airlines and lessors are the Aggressive Competitors From Hell. Maybe Mideast carriers' operations aren't subsidized, but their working capital is provided by governments and government-affiliated funds. It's also possible that their infrastructure and fuel costs are largely taken care of. Just so long as these businesses don't lose too much value, they can price to gain market share. The established legacy international carriers have little recourse. If the Airbus/Boeing trade dispute sprains the WTO, an airline trade case would smash it into a thousand pieces.
The big beneficiary of this oil-fueled aviation market share grab: Airbus. The numbers are clear. After Dubai, Airbus has a 65% share of the total Mideast backlog by value. Mideast orders comprise 9% of Boeing's backlog and 13% of its twin aisle backlog. But the Mideast market accounts for 19% of Airbus's total backlog by value and an astonishing 33% of Airbus's total twin aisle backlog. Some reasons why:
1. The A380. Airlines that focus on profitability can only use the behemothliner on a handful of routes. But if you're out to grab market share, the A380 has its uses. Accordingly, Emirates is the only airline to make a large commitment to this plane, holding about 30% of the total order book. These orders increase the mid-term outlook for this otherwise marginal aircraft and help Airbus's widebody standing until the far more relevant A350 comes on line. An old airline maxim is that nobody ever went bankrupt flying a plane that was too small. Emirates has turned that on its head—anybody can grow market share flying a plane that's too large.
2. A350 XWB. Boeing has won the 240/280-seat battle. For profit-focused airlines, the 787 is basically unbeatable. But Mideast carriers are emphasizing bigger planes (why focus on the front cabin when you can fill the whole plane?). The 787-8/9 is playing a minor role in the Mideast, and for some odd reason Boeing hasn't definitized the 787-10. This leaves the A350-900 to attack the 310-seat market. Also, while Boeing slowly contemplates its 777-X/787-10+ roadmap, the A350-1000 is starting to take orders from the almighty 777-300ER. If a carrier really isn't too concerned about fuel costs, even the pokey-looking A350-800 makes some sense. Hell, given Mideast carriers' fuel cost apathy, even the fuelaholic A340-500/600 makes sense. Almost.
3. Politics. The US isn't exactly winning the popularity war in the Mideast. Since Mid-East airlines are owned or heavily influenced by governments, aircraft purchase decisions are often made at the top. Favoring Europe for large aircraft contracts—civil and military—expresses diplomatic disapproval and avoids annoying the anti-US crowd. Access to European airports could play a role too.
Jet orders aren't the only Mideast boost for Airbus. There's also:
1. Equity. Mideast sovereign wealth funds and their semi-private cousins could take a stake in Airbus parent EADS, replacing some of the stakeholder equity that's withdrawing. Even a modest Mideast stake would encourage private investment funds to join in, helping EADS create a new ownership structure. Think of this Mideast money as a Deus Ex Machina for Airbus. That's no surprise—divine intervention plays a big role in Mideast thinking.
2. Defense Contracts. Parent company EADS is a major beneficiary of the biggest oil-related defense contract of all time—the Saudi order for 72-96 Eurofighters. They're also benefiting from tanker, helicopter, and missile sales. That revenue will help pay for Airbus's ambitious product development needs.
Like irony as much as I do? Consider this—after years of surreal, incompetent management, horribly dumb product launch decisions, dysfunctional unions, angry, bickering governments, and toxic office politics, Airbus, an aviation company, is saved by…high fuel prices. There goes my simple view of the world.
The only negative: As a result of this Mideast emphasis, Airbus is considerably more vulnerable than Boeing to an oil price drop or anything, such as a terrorist incident, that threatens the Mideast's aggressive aviation market grab. Also, another complication (how I long for simplicity…):if Emirates and its wannabes are attacking legacy airline traffic with cheap A380s and A350s subsidized in part by EU development aid, and if the Mideast carriers are being favored with EU airport market access, then is Europe basically hurting its big international airlines to boost Airbus? Perhaps Air France/KLM, Lufthansa, and BA will start to notice.
Final thoughts. Of the top ten oil exporters, only one—Norway—is a free and open society. Mexico ain't too bad. Two—Kuwait and the UAE—are relatively tolerant but authoritarian. The other six are ruled by some kind of repulsive dictatorship or another. Therefore, expensive oil means a vast transfer of wealth from the civilized democracies to far less appealing governments. But at least there's an upside if you're in the jetliner business.
This month's Aircraft Binder supplement focuses on military programs—F/A-18, Su-27/30, AH-64, B-2, E-8 JSTARS, E-737/E-3 AWACS and the F-14. There's a World Aircraft Overview update, plus the Falcon, A.109, and Bell/Agusta 609. A new report covers Mitsubishi's MRJ. Have a great holiday season.

Click on the image of the Mother and Child and the video should pop-up for you, provided your pop-up blocker doesn't keep it from doing so!
A Theology Of Stewardship
Yes, it is about the Theology of Stewardship-it's the real deal, giving back from the 'getting' we've been given from God!
1. All that we have and all that we are are gifts from God-- our time, our talent and skills, our resources and possessions, and especially the gift of life itself.
2. God gave us these gifts unconditionally out of love.
3. God did not intend, however, that we be the OWNERS of these gifts, using them for ourselves or hoarding them or ignoring them by hiding them away.
4. God's purpose was that we would be good stewards, managers, or caretakers of these gifts by using them generously and wisely for building the Kingdom of God.
5. The very purpose of our lives is to use our unique set of gifts for loving and serving God and our neighbor.
6. God desires that we FREELY choose to use our gifts this way and that our motives be love, gratitude, and justice, as opposed to guilt and fear--obligation or duty.
7. God promised many blessings for those who share generously and gratefully their gifts as He asked. These blessings may include happiness and peace and a sense of justice, but most certainly eternal life and God's care and protection.
For the steward...
-- All gifts come from God.
-- As human people we need to give.
-- We give out of thanksgiving and with joy.
-- We give in proportion to what we have received.
-- We give ourselves to God first; then we give to meet the needs of others-- individuals, the parish, the community.
-- We give to our world-- to protect and preserve the earth, its resources, and the environment.
-- We celebrate the gifts we have been given.
A Stirring of Stewardship..
God is more pleased by one work, however small, done secretly, without desire that it be known, than a thousand done with desire that men know of them.
St. John of the Cross
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others.
Time - share time with God
Talent - Our Lord teaches that we are to give of our first fruits in service of God and His church, including our time and talents, and not simply our treasure alone. There are many ministries in our parish where your talents can be used.
Treasure - The Christian steward is one who receives God's gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others and returns them with increase to the Lord.
Parishioners of Sacred Heart can use either an envelope system or direct giving for weekly donations to the parish. Envelopes are mailed directly to your home monthly or can be requested from the Parish Office.
Faith Direct is the most convenient and secure way for your weekly offering to fund and support our parish ministries via "eGiving" through Faith Direct. Visit
Faith Direct and use our parish code TX530 or complete an enrollment form (available in the Parish Office) and mail the form to Faith Direct.
The U. S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter on understanding stewardship and striving to live it fully states "that Christians are no less than 'God's co-workers' (1 Cor. 3:9), with their own particular share in his creative, redemptive and sanctifying work."

With media facades becoming more and more popular in big cities, large LED digital signage has firmly entrenched itself as landmark of the city skyline.
Mobile LED screens are witnessing growing usages in the advertisement world and generating more attention in comparison to fixed screens. However, modular indoor screens based on dot matrix or SMD technology provide better picture quality than mobile screens. Moreover, there is no need for waterproofing as they are not subject to nature's adversity. They are best suited for near distance viewing. The size of these screens will not be as large as outdoor screens because their purpose is to draw attention of people who are in near distance viewing range.
They are much easier to install and maintain because of their light weight and easy to install procedures. Indoor LED screens are widely used at indoor concerts, railway stations, airports and shopping centres.
The brightness of indoor screens can be adjusted so that they give the perfect clarity in any environment.
Modular digital signage can be used for any number of purposes. In exhibitions and conferences, they can be used as excellent wall backdrops for displaying product or company information.
You can use LED digital screens for important presentations to delegates, peers or potential customers. Well thought of content and other product values are sure to impress them and express your strong intentions and establish your credentials.
Event organisers of award ceremonies can make use of the screens to reveal nomination videos, reveal winners or display sponsor information. Whether it is a small or a large event you are planning, you can choose from differently sized screens that will fit your purpose and won't be too heavy on your purse.
The scope for use of LED screens in advertising and branding exercises is immense. Whether you want to publicise a sale or use it for promotional activity, both mobile and indoor screens can rise to the occasion and generate the kind of result you have dreamed of.
For all your branding, screening or advertisement purposes of product launches or special offers and discounts, you can depend on LED display screens to make your statement. You can get creative and use them at weddings and other family events to really impress your guests and have great entertainment at the same time. Your special event deserves mobile LED screens that will make it truly unique and memorable.

After porn star Nikki Benz alleged that she was assaulted on set while recently filming a scene for one of porn's biggest studios, the company announced it has severed ties with the clip's producer-director. That might not be enough for Benz, considered by many to be the signature star for the studio, Brazzers.
"Please don't let @Brazzers PR stunt fool you," the performer said via Twitter. "They have yet to apologize to me. They may think letting [the producer] go will make me silent, but no."
Benz alleged last week that the producer stomped her head and choked her over her objections, including her cries of "cut." The revelation spread through the adult-video community like wildfire, and the porn industry's L.A.-based trade group, the Free Speech Coalition, called the alleged actions "unacceptable in every way."
Several adult-film luminaries, including Jenna Jamison and Tasha Reign, rallied to support Benz. At least one performer, Shawna Leneé Show, said via Twitter that she'd "complained" about the same producer's "behavior two years ago." "You have been warned since 2014," she wrote.
Brazzers, the cornerstone website of global porn juggernaut MindGeek (which runs adult video's most-trafficked sites), released a statement distancing itself from the producer. He was not named in the statement.
"Not only have we terminated all existing professional engagements with the producer, but any possibility for any future endeavors with this producer have also been quashed," according to the statement. "We have also refused to purchase the scene in question as it stands in direct contrast with our mandate to ensure that performers' consent, boundaries and limits are respected. It is our commitment that this offensive scene will never find itself listed as a Brazzers property."

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The statement also says Brazzers will stand by Benz: "Nikki Benz has been, and will always be, a part of the Brazzers family. As with any of our performers, her well-being and security are a paramount concern to us. We have reached out to her through multiple channels while she seeks solace on her current holiday, and are eager to have a proper and productive dialogue with her at her convenience."
Brazzers started as a single site that grew into an online empire of YouTube-like free porn destinations. A 2011 New York magazine story on the predecessor to MindGeek, Manwin, explained its origins.
"Several of the founders were of Middle Eastern extraction, and the name was their private joke, a throaty immigrant-Arabonics version of 'brothers,'" according to the story. "They contracted with producers in Los Angeles, and later Las Vegas and Miami, to create content (which they charged for), and Brazzers drew notice for its high-quality productions."
Late last year the unconnected porn production house of star performer James Deen was investigated by the state after several performers accused him of rape and assault on-set. Deen maintains his innocence, and no formal assault allegations were ever filed.

I was greeted with an amazing goody bag of which I took full advantage of the amazing KIND bar that they gave me. I can't get enough of the chocolate and coconut bar so that gave me a great boost. This tank will be on repeat for many of my upcoming work outs. It's so soft and comfortable so you know I'm already loving it.
We were introduced to some of the amazing woman who put the organization together as well as one incredible yogi, Seane Corn whose been on the Oprah and Today Show as well as numerous magazine covers. She was such an inspiration to all of us.
The best part of this event were the incredible vendors that were there. There were fresh fruit, apparel and various juices to sample! These Bai juices were amazing and the peach one was my favorite. I'll be looking for them to drink during the week.
I'm so happy I was able to be part of such a great event and hopefully can continue to go next year! I know you want to come with right?! Enjoy the rest of your day my friends!
Have you ever been to a yogathon?
What's your favorite type of juice to drink?

In the spirit of self-congratulatory praise, I thought I would take a moment to mention two recent mentions I received out of the blue, both praising (somewhat blindly) my paid search expertise.
The first was a few months ago, but hey – if you are going to shamelessly draw attention to yourself, you might as well include everything. I was included on a list of The 25 Most Influential PPC Experts by the PPCHero blog. PPCHero is run by Hanapin Marketing, an agency that specializes in Paid Search marketing services and also runs a PPC conference called HeroConf. They apparently had some kind of methodology to get the list – and while I don't necessarily agree with the list or my inclusion on it, I'm flattered anyway. #22!
The second mention I got was in a recent interview with Paid Search expert John Rampton, who mentioned me as an important person to watch in the search marketing space. This was on a recent interview with Performance Marketing Insider. Thanks John!
End of bragging. Carry On.
