Safety shouldn't be annoying.
We all know why smoke alarms are torn off the ceiling or missing batteries: because every time you fry chicken, the smoke alarm cries wolf. Or just as you're falling asleep, you hear a low-battery chirp. They've become annoying. And that's a safety issue.
Burned dinner again? Nest Protect won't just start yelling at you.
Before turning on a loud, howling alarm, Nest Protect gives you an early warning that Nest calls- Heads Up. Nest Protect lights up yellow and speaks with a clear, human voice when things go wrong. It tells you where the smoke is located. This gives an earlier warning if there's an emergency, or allows you to just silence your Nest Protect if it's just a nuisance alarm. If you have more than one Nest Protect, they connect so they can speak up at the same time even if Wi-Fi is down.
Why are voice smoke alarms important to your family's health?
You have much more information when every precious second counts. According to studies, children can sleep through a beeping alarm. Your Nest Protect sounds the alarm and uses a human voice to help wake the kids up.
Works with your Nest Thermostat.
Nest Protect activity sensors improve the Auto-Away feature of your Nest Thermostat.
Interested in purchasing a Nest Protect or have a Nest Protect you wish to have installed? Contact one of our Comfort Care Team Members for details 321-385-3950.

Today I was searching for information on how to grow papaya. I came across what looked like a useful video. But as I got into it, I realised it was the recipe for chemical soaked papaya. Papaya grown in chemical fertilizers, sprayed heavily with pesticides and soaked in chemicals to ripen the fruit so that it looks the part on the shelf.
Initially I thought WTF - what a useless video! But then I realised something. This video showed me something really valuable, something that is usually hidden away. It gives a behind the scenes look at how conventional (non-organic) vegetables are grown. So why is this important?
Conventional (non-organic) food still dominates our supermarket shelves. Thats because its way easier, cheaper and more convenient to do what you have always done and buy conventional fruit and vegetables from the supermarket. Especially because pesticides on your food don't instantly make you sick.
For some reason I think this is something you need to see with your own eyes before it really hits you and makes you do something about it. You need to see what a 'bit of pesticide' actually looks like in reality.
I found this video to be a really good reminder of the purpose behind patchtotable.com - and why organic and nutritious food is so critical for good health. It had an impact on me, so I thought it might have an impact on others and spark action, which is why I decided to share it here.
Rather than watch the whole video, I have picked out the most relevant bits:
The video starts off great and got me in. It talked about how Papaya is a superfood and is highly nutritious.
Papaya originated in Chile before it spread to the rest of the world. It then goes on to explain the folklore of how papaya came about:
The video then steps through the basic requirements for growing papaya:
Source: TvAgro
The key ingredients for a good crop of papaya:
A ripening agent (Maturant) is used before the papaya's are shipped. For this, the papayas are immersed in a mixture which accelerates the ripening of fruit. This allows the papayas to be picked prior to full ripening, which makes shipping easier without causing damage.
Source: TvAgro
Based on the milky colour of the water the papaya is soaked in, it is likely to be Ethephon, which is listed in the Pesticide Database as a Cholinesterase Inhibitor. This means its linked to impaired development of the nervous system (neurological development) during pregnancy and in infants, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Parkinson's disease. An organisation called Apple and Pear Australia states that Ethephon is one of the most widely used plant growth regulators in the world. Its used for apples, grapes, oranges, mandarins, pineapples, stonefruit, sugarcane, tomatoes, macadamias, olives, bananas, mangoes and barley to name a few. The use of Ethephon in this way has been reported as a problem in Vietnam and according to this article, Ethephon is approved for use on plants and not directly on fruit, as it contains substances that are toxic when consumed directly.
Papaya is a super food (0 mins and 20 seconds)
The golden tears tree (0 mins and 40 seconds)
Basic requirements for growing papaya (3 mins 30 seconds)
Growing ingredients:
- Chemical fertilisers (8 mins 14 seconds)
- Pesticides (10 mins 30 seconds)
- Spraying weeds (11 mins 30 seconds)
Ripening Agent (14 mins)
This video is based in Columbia, but the chemicals used would be similar anywhere in the world. And while regulations are often stricter in Countries such as the USA and Australia, many of the frozen fruit and vegetables we eat come from all over the world - such as frozen mangoes and berries.
Now that you have an idea of what goes into growing conventional fruit and vegetables, you can no longer bury your head in the sand. It might just play enough in the back of your mind to start thinking about where your fruit and vegetables come from, how they were grown and maybe even encourage you to grow your own food. Growing your own food does take some effort and organic produce does cost extra. But when you look at all the hidden costs from health and environment impacts, I think the payback is pretty good.
Thoughts? - I would love to hear from you in the comments below.

Quote:A restaurant in London's Covent Garden is serving a new range of ice cream, made with breast milk.
The dessert, called Baby Gaga, is churned with donations from London mother Victoria Hiley, and served with a rusk and an optional shot of Calpol or Bonjela.
Mrs Hiley, 35, said if adults realised how tasty breast milk was more new mothers would be encouraged to breastfeed.
Each serving of Baby Gaga at Icecreamists costs £14.
Mrs Hiley's donation was expressed on site and pasteurised before being churned with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest.
Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor placed an advert appealing for breast milk donations and believes his new recipe will be a success.
"If it's good enough for our children, it's good enough for the rest of us," he said.
Perhaps we can persuade Prometheus to sample some and give a review?

Learn About Bamboo
Bamboo for Specific Uses
Crafts & Building
There are many ways to use bamboo culm wood. Some uses have long historical roots, and some uses you will probably think up yourself. The limit of bamboo as a craft and building material is defined only by your imagination!
To list just a few uses: bicycles, houses, baskets and other woven objects, fences, chopsticks, garden and tree stakes, bridges, artwork, furniture, arrows, beehives, musical instruments, kites, ladders, paper, flooring and other laminated products, scaffolding, stilts, bridges, brooms, crutches, toys, fishing and punting poles, pens, water wheels, windmills and many, many more. Did you know that the very first light bulb Edison invented used a bamboo filament?
Over 1 billion people in the world live in bamboo houses. Bamboo buildings have proven to be exceedingly earthquake proof because of its strength and flexibility. Here in the United States, testing is still being conducted so that it can officially be included as an acceptable structural material in building codes. Some bamboos have a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch, vs. 23,000 for steel.
The techniques for building with bamboo are somewhat different than for milled tree wood. Bamboo Sourcery occasionally offers bamboo building and crafting workshops. If you would like to be notified of our events and helpful tips, please sign up for our newsletter. We also carry a few how-to books that focus on bamboo building, crafts, and Japanese fence making, and more here.
Temperate bamboos that are particularly good for woodcraft (though one can find multiple uses for just about any bamboo!) The linked species below are available at our nursery, and thrive in Northern and Central California.
- Bambusa textilis (all forms)
- Phyllostachys angusta
- Ph. bambusoides (all forms)
- Ph. heterocycla pubescens edulis "Moso"
- Ph. makinoi
- Ph. meyeri "Meyer's Bamboo"
- Ph. nigra, 'Bory' and 'Henon'
- Ph. propinqa
- Ph. rubromarginata "Red Margin"
- Ph. viridiglaucesens
- Ph. viridis (all forms)
- Chusqueas gigantia (has solid culms; exceedingly strong/flexible)
Note: There are a number of sub-tropical to tropical species used for woodcraft which don't grow well in Northern California, and therefore we do not carry them.

Whatever somebody's age, race or maybe nationality, it is crucial that they always take very good care of themselves if possibly they have the chance to truly live an extended plus healthier life. This implies ingesting a variety of healthy food products, acquiring a lot of physical exercise frequently, sufficient rest, and also governing the amount of stress they let inside their everyday life. It means creating beneficial practices as well as doing what they can to ensure that they will avoid harmful toxins, live with nice and clean atmosphere and also have a assortment of nurturing and also encouraging interactions with others. Additionally, it indicates taking good care of the body's biggest organ, which is not your heart, liver, or gastrointestinal tract. Precisely what will be the body's most significant body part? It's its external covering, its skin.
One's skin is largely a flexible as well as elastic three-layered membrane that goes over the inner areas of the body, its muscle groups, nerves, bones and other body organs. It repels microorganisms and it's an important method of getting rid of contaminants. It's in charge of the regulation of your body's internal temperature, which it manages via the enlargement plus contraction associated with tiny blood vessels and also by means of perspiration. Even though many people's epidermis might have specific wants, all skin has to be cleansed fairly often, moisturized, as well as shielded from caustic agents and also too much sunshine. One primary natural skin care measure that benefits nearly every woman's skin is gentle exfoliation.
Exactly what is exfoliation? Gentle exfoliating is the procedure involving helping take off the particular external cells regarding old skin debris as a way to show the actual new cells beneath. It can be completed numerous ways that range between manual to mechanical to chemical. Men and women employ a range of scrubs, a number of which are homemade, various exfoliating washcloths, as well as doctor prescribed creams, many containing mild acids. The process of gentle exfoliating needs to be a light one. Many people tend to like employing a hand held exfoliation device mainly because with them these people achieve exceptional control. Just one of the best skin resurfacing machines on the market is going to be the Microderm MD microdermabrasion machine, which can be employed while in the personal privacy involving your home.

Territorial management contracts as a tool to enhance the sustainability of sloping and mountainous olive orchards: evidence from a case study in southern Spain
MetadataShow full item record
The continuity of farming in traditional sloping and mountainous olive production systems (SMOPS) isat risk, especially in marginally productive areas. The abandonment of olive production on sloping landswould have adverse economic, social, environmental and cultural effects. To tackle this risk of abandon-ment and to improve the sustainability of traditional SMOPS, we propose the Territorial managementcontracts (TMC) of rural areas. The potential of this instrument to be specifically applied to organic oliveproduction systems on sloping lands is assessed. The paper then summarises the results of a survey ofAndalusian farmers in sloping and mountainous areas aimed at identifying key characteristics of the TMCwith the potential to enhance its uptake in target farming communities. Results show that farmers arewell-disposed towards TMC, and that issues such as flexibility and external advice need to be consideredfor its successful implementation. From a policy perspective, the instrument is well aligned with theobjectives of the last reform of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Paul Rusesabagina is a Rwandan hotel manager and humanitarian known for hiding and protecting 1,268 refugees during the Rwandan Genocide. None of those refugees were hurt or killed during the attacks. He was the assistant manager of the Sabena-owned Hôtel des Mille Collines before he became the manager of the Hôtel des Diplomates, both in Rwanda's capital of Kigali. During the genocide he used his influence and connections as temporary manager of the Hôtel des Mille Collines to shelter Tutsis from being slaughtered by the interahamwe militia.
Rusesabagina's efforts were the basis of the Academy Award-nominated film Hotel Rwanda (2004). He currently lives in Brussels, Belgium with his wife, four children, and two adopted nieces.

We live in a world where mass production has taken over our consumer world. Although the method is, overall, efficient as well as beneficial… it's not always perfect. There are cases of mishaps and mistakes that lead to hilarious errors.
Here are 20 people (or rather machines), that had one job and ended up failing. Luckily, their failure is our source for a good laugh.
1. It's always good to take safety precautions. We assume that's what was going through the designer's mind when they chose to add this banister to the railing. However, it's also important to be able to actually use the stairs… which can't happen with the presence of the banister.
2. We don't expect fast food to be a high quality gourmet meal, but we also expect our meal to be intact. C'mon, who forgets to put the cheese inside the burger?
3. We all know what type of preventative measure you were attempting, but I think the measurement was just a tad off. Even a truck could get by if it wanted to.
4. Either Ben has a twin or someone on the yearbook committee really messed up! This is why it's always good to double-check your work.
5. It's not good to lie to your customers. We all know those orange spheres are not watermelons.

City of Rockport | "City Credit Rating Upgraded Again"
The upgrade of the LTGO and CO ratings and IDR reflect the application of Fitch's revised U.S. Tax Supported Rating Criteria, which was published on April 18, 2016. The 'AA' ratings incorporate the city's substantial independent ability to raise revenues, solid revenue growth prospects, moderate long-term liabilities, and exceptionally strong operating performance. The long-term liability burden is moderate relative to the city's economic resource base and is expected to remain in this range based on future capital plans.
According to Robert Henderson, managing partner of RBC Capital Markets and the City's financial advisor, the City's upgrade is significant in that Fitch changed its fundamental rating criteria to offer more precise component scoring. "This is reflective of the City being strong in the areas that Fitch thinks should be weighted, including management, revenue framework and long-term liability.
"In the management section, which correlates with operating performance, the City scored 'AAA.' The revenue framework, which deals with diversity of revenues and ability to raise revenues as needed, was scored 'AA.' And, the long-term liability component was scored as 'AA' due to high rapidity of debt repayment (79%) in ten years and modest outlook for additional debt," he added.
Fitch expects Rockport to maintain balanced operations and exceptionally strong reserves throughout a moderate economic downturn due to its superior budgetary flexibility. Active budget management practices and the city's prudent reserve policy further enhance the city's operating performance.
Mayor C.J. Wax said, "The City Council watches closely the City's long-term debt and the schedule of repayment. I'm pleased that Fitch has recognized the effort and has rewarded the City with another increase in our overall credit rating." City Manager Kevin Carruth added "Fitch's latest credit review and subsequent upgrading of the city's rating recognizes the continuation of years of fiscal prudence and sound stewardship by the City Council and staff."

Absolutely! We provide both chiropractic and functional services for children of all ages. We treat a child's case just as importantly and individually as an adult case.
Parents seek corrective chiropractic care for their babies and children to maintain and prevent conditions from occurring. If a condition has already developed, specific spinal correction techniques can be utilized to prevent further deterioration and/or reverse chronic, long-term health conditions naturally.
For children, we most often serve them functionally for food allergies or more chronic health issues. Once we can determine the root cause of their health issue, we can customize an action plan to remove it and watch their resilient body repair itself naturally!
The ability to pop and crack is a sign that you spine is weak, unstable and at risk for developing additional health conditions over time. Specific spinal adjustments and the process of spinal correction will strengthen and stabilize spinal segments, preventing spinal deterioration.
Yes, it certainly can. We have special instruments and a variety of techniques we can use to treat sensitive conditions like osteoporosis.
Surgeries commonly add stress and promote nearby tissues deterioration that should be managed proactively. One of the most common reasons for additional surgeries is mismanagement or non-management of the effects of the first surgery. We can help treat the segments of your spin surrounding the surgically treated area, so it stays strong from top to bottom.
Yes, they are very safe. There are thousands of published studies proving chiropratic's safety and effectiveness. Our specialized evaluation and treatment techniques provide optimal results without dangerous invasive procedures or highly addictive drugs.
Dr. Schwartz provide cutting-edge corrective chiropractic care, which is mainly performed with hands-on techniques. He also utilizes gentle techniques using tools such as Arthrostim and Activator devices. Dr. Schwartz has advanced training in scoliosis correction through CLEAR Institute, and may recommend therapies and modalities in-office to prepare your body for the corrective adjustment.
This depends on several factors, including the complexity of your condition, how long you have had it, how much time, energy and attention you are willing to devote to treatment, and how well your body responds to treatment. In general, health programs for chronic illness last between three and six months, but most patients start seeing improvement within the first month. Patients may elect to continue with a maintenance program after their initial treatment plan is completed.
The costs vary depending on the lab test recommended. Our prices are much lower than other companies' because we do not up-charge for any of our tests. You only pay the base cost directly to us.
We do need an initial appointment first so that we can get a detailed health history and get to know you (we cannot legally run tests on people who are not our patients) but also we can customize the test panels that would be the most beneficial for you as there are a few different variations available. Depending on your specific health concerns, the panels that are best for you may be different than those for other patients.
Our practice is a participating provider with all major medical insurances, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, Aetna, Coventry, Cigna, MedCost, and Medicare. Other insurance providers may also be covered. Please bring in your insurance card with a photo ID to your first appointment. Our team will perform a complimentary verification for you to determine your individual insurance coverage with our practice.
Our practice does not accept any form of Medicaid. However, we can provide you with an itemized bill with traditional ICD-10 codes and CPT codes so that you may easily file a claim with your insurance company yourself. Your insurance company would then reimburse you directly.
Additionally, our services are fully covered under most Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account plans. Our testing and nutritional supplements are often reimbursable as well. You can call your FSA or HSA manager directly to find out the details of your plan.
The best way to determine whether we will be a good fit together is to come in for an initial consultation. The initial consultation gives you an opportunity to meet with one of our Case Managers and our doctors. We will listen to your needs and help determine what type of care you need in order to reach your health goals. Our doctors will then be able to tell you their plan for you and explain exactly how we can help you and the time line needed to achieve results. There is no obligation past the initial appointment to move forward with treatment. The choice is up to you. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, loved and cared for. But if you choose to seek treatment elsewhere, there is no obligation.
To start, reach out to us by phone or email to schedule your initial consultation. Our team is fully trained to assist you and guide you to the best program based on your needs. Our team can also help by answering general questions about becoming a patient at our office.
Call 336-288-4677 or Schedule here
We do not accept every patient. We have a very specific application process to determine if you would be a good candidate for care at Triad Health Center. The application process starts with setting up an initial consultation.
Initial Chiropractic Examination: $60
Initial Nutrition Assessment: $250
Initial Functional Medicine Consultation: $497
If you are accepted into the program, price depends on several factors, including the complexity of your condition, the extent of lab testing required, the combination of supplements, herbs and other therapies needed during treatment, and the number of consultations you receive.
Because all of our care plans and protocols are completely customized on an individual basis, the prices range varies person to person. The first step is an initial consultation focusing on the biggest health complaints you want our help with.
Each initial consultation is between 1-2 hours with either Dr. Schwartz or Dr. Tucker. Following your initial consultation, we will be able to present our findings, care recommendations and price moving forward.
Is there a difference between supplements I can get a Walgreens, CVS, or a health food store and through your office?
There is a huge difference in the quality of supplements on the market today. Drug store brands are normally the cheapest, and when it comes to nutritional supplements, unfortunately you get what you pay for. Drug store brands use poor quality man-made materials, thus creating a subpar product. Furthermore, many of these brands contain fillers, preservatives and even artificial colors and flavors which are detrimental to health. Health food store brands are a step up from drug store brands and usually use more natural and better quality raw materials. However because supplements are not regulated by the FDA, there is still no accountability and its hard to tell which are best from the hundreds of brands that exist.
The supplements that we use in our office are professional brands. They use the purest raw materials backed by years of research and manufacture them with the highest technology to preserve and maintain integrity and purity of their ingredients. We only want the best for you, and so we only offer truly whole food supplements and herbs. These brands go against the most stringent guidelines and come with certificates of analysis so we know exactly where the nutrients and herbs are coming from. They are typically much more potent and therefore not available in stores. Furthermore, because these brands are used by healthcare professionals, the manufacturers have a lot more accountability.
Many of our products are also custom-made for you based on your results, which enables you to take less pills but get more needed nutrients as they are combined for your convenience.
It is of course your choice on where you get your recommended supplements and we never want you to feel forced to get them through us. We are happy to evaluate any brand you may already have and help you find the best option because quality plays a huge part in the success of your protocol.
Once I find out my body's deficiencies and your recommendations for supplementation, do I need to take them for the rest of my life?
Absolutely not! Our goal is to find your deficiencies and fix them as quickly as we can. This usually requires supplementation for 3-6 months to get your levels in the correct range, but once they are there, you can maintain them with proper diet and a maintenance regimen of a good multi-vitamin if needed.
My friend is a client of yours and I want to do what she is doing. Do I need to schedule an initial consultation first?
We normally do an initial consultation so that we can get a detailed health history on each individual patient and recommend the testing and protocols that would be the most beneficial for each individual. Depending on your concerns and goals, the tests that are best for you may be different than for your friend. Furthermore, a big part of our customized consultation protocol focuses on eating habits and food education so that you know which foods are best, how to combine them and time meals properly. This process guarantees the most success and the quickest results with your personalized program.
We see patients from all over the world and find phone or virtual consultations using Skype or Google+ very convenient. In fact, about 30% of our patients do their consultations virtually. When you first set up your appointment, we will email you an intake form which you can fill out and email back to us. If you are not email savvy, don't worry, you can always send your filled out form by regular mail. As with an in-person consultation, we will set up a full hour for your initial consultation. Everything we talk about in person we can talk about over the phone and any handouts would be emailed to you in advance to follow during our call.
All initial testing is done in your home prior to our call or during. All initial testing is very easy to perform with a little guidance from us.
More advanced future testing is completed with kits which you perform in the comfort of your own home, because most need to be done at a particular time of day. The appropriate kits will be mailed to you and include everything you need to take the sample along with detailed instructions. Once samples (hair, saliva, urine) are collected, you simply mail them directly to the lab in a prepaid envelope. This makes it easier for all patients and you do not have to physically be at the office to do the tests. If a test requires a blood draw, we can direct you to a lab in your area.
If you do not live in the area, a virtual consultation can be a great way to get your health on track and you will get all the same benefits as our in-office patients. And best of all, you never have to leave your home.

What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
I don't know if any of you guys are aware of the channel Phillipine Dreams. Basically a 50something guy making a vlog about his life in the phillipines, there's nothing I'm aware of that could cause offence to anyone. It's just a guy who's found happiness and wants to inspire others. Now, he did split up with his missus, but this and the reason why is irrelevant to this topic, what's relevant is that he stopped doing his channel due to trolls as explained
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwkQOe-4q8s, listen, this is what I find truly shocking. Given that this was someone who split up with his partner this is a truly disgusting time to attack someone. Aren't people allowed to vlog about their experiences being happier abroad? What is people's problem? Ok, he may not be with his partner anymore, but that doesn't mean that what he did is invalid and it doesn't mean that he didn't enjoy much happiness. Not only to have broken-up with your partner, but to put-up with trolling at the same time (from people who have an axe to grind), that's just not on.
I hear word that the chief executive of youtube is an ultra feminist. The creator of one of my favourite channels, nollagirl; has already had content de-monitized and deleted and is moving to vidme. Saying things such as fecebook is a facade, that women shoudn't be so catty and bitchy, needs to be said. All critics of feminism have had or been threatened to have their channels de-monitized or be banned. This is hardly free speech. Nollagirl is right, youtube will go the same direction of myspace.
There is no free speech. If anything comes up about what we've lost in the west, if anyone meets someone lovely and dares mention how good women are easier to find in other countries, the hate brigade are ready to pounce like boa constrictors. Why are people so hateful?
f***ing kids, they need a good bumming session from Milo Yianopoulous, that'll sort them out.

Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Alone the fact, that a man from a Western country is living in SouthEast Asia/Far East with a local woman is already enough reason for some people to feel offended and to attack him.
Do not ask me how many times I have been attacked by internet, but even face to face, for my marriage with a Japanese woman and living now in Japan and Thailand (my second home).
However I also have to say, that almost all of these insults came from people from USA and some from Australia and UK, in general not from people living in Asia or in Europe.
These bully groups which hate Western men with Asian women is not so small.
Some of these hateful people are lonely feminists, others are racist motivated, some are Asian-Americans who lost totally their own identity, others are do-gooders claiming Western men are all abusive wife-beaters and some are from a church, others are child protecters claiming Western men with Asian wife are pedophiles as Asians are in general shorter than Westerners, some others are plainly losers who had to leave Asia, back to USA or UK, totally out of money...
I received death wishes from feminists, racists called me a 'white father who split a condom and whose daughters and wife are whores and butt-ugly, I was called to be a pedophile as my wife is 8 inch shorter than I am, despite we are of almost same age, a guy was openly posting in a forum that he wants visit Tokyo solely for beating me up, likely an Asian-American sent me email that I deserve a beer bottle over my head and my wife deserves to be raped as 'white men' are stealing our women...mail-order-bride and similar nonsense.
What shall I say? I don't care.
This forum HA is also receiving a lot of troll sign-ups and I am sure, Winston gets sometimes personal hate mail...
Who cares? Take it easy.
For sure this guy 'Philippine Dreams' is too sensitive about trolling, I can only tell him he is not a single case.

Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Geez! I had no idea you would get such abusive people to attack you like this! Especially from the USA of all places considering that they are "open minded" and "liberal"!
Since you speak Japanese and German, Do you also get hate messages from respective communities? or is this specifically an English speaking only thing?
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Yes, correct, I am from Central Europe and living most time in Japan but also have a second home in Thailand.
I never got abusive messages from Continental Europe. All such emails, forum comments etc. were in English, mostly from places in USA I have never been in my life - Florida for example.
To bring foreign women into Europe is not so difficult, at least for a visit, and most European people have passports and have been out of their own country many times. Most people understand that for example within EU Portugal is not Sweden and Netherlands is not Greece...A foreign wife of any race is not a controversial issue in Continental Europe.
I rarely had any discriminating situation in Japan, a very few single cases in almost 40 years, same in other countries in Asia.
A few idiots are everywhere and this is normal, in such a case I never quarrel, I just move on and forget about such an idiot.
However in USA and UK are obviously unusually many strange people who are deeply into racist and feminist and also religious BS-talk.
It's not only about their own life-style, the point is they want to force you to live the same life-style as they do, claiming universal laws which should be valid throughout this entire world. Well, as I said, I don't care. I take it easy.
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Such vitriolic hate is a sign that you are doing something RIGHT for yourself and people who feel slighted because they've been led to believe differently are simply lashing out due to envy.
It comes with the territory of being groundbreaking and free!
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Now, here is a question that I simply cannot find the answer to even among the thousands of pages and message forums in Winston's HA archives:
I understand that most of the hate would most specifically come from women both Feminists and traditionalists alike. I get that the extreme jealousy and hatred towards men, from western women, who leave to find their own happiness means that it is one less man western women can steal resources from and permanent loss of attention and that it is something like a competition thing with them.
but what explains the disgust and hatred from other men? I mean, Single guys are seen as pathetic, losers who cannot get laid, piss poor social skills, a closet homo and all the scary boogie man adjectives they can come up with, he is told to grow a pair, date women, work on himself, body build, and a whole list of silly lyrics of how and why he should be getting a woman, but once this "loser" guy says "screw this!!", goes else where and Finds women, the same previous men seem to envelope the same hatred as bad as the Feminists/Traditionalists! WTH is that about? Shouldn't they be happy that these "losers" finally found a woman? why are they against him all of the sudden? It certainly can not be envy if these western dudes are getting women left and right in the states, so why do they care what some nerd, loser, or social inadequate does or dates? Are these men, like western women, attention whores and they need validation from the same men who they deemed losers? whats with this prom queen mentality from these western guys??
believe me , I had my share of hatred from the same western women, but what the hell is with the men??
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Some men are even much worse than women -
He is alone, sitting in a basement room somewhere in the States, is almost penniless and envies men who met better choices in their life.
To get nevertheless some attention from women, he is talking badly about men who are living abroad and enjoy a good life.
There are various pro-feminist bloggers on the internet who are men - male feminists...
For example who is this idiot?
Or this stupid boy?

Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Some trolls can't stand others being happier than they are. Misery loves company and negative people need drama like oxygen. When they pick fights with you it's because they're angry at themselves.
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
This is a good summary of the situation.
The diference between US/UK/Canada/Australia (english speaking area) and other parts of this world is maybe that these people are creating active and aggressive groups blaming others for their own misery and attacking their life-style.
I was longer time together with French people and this was never the case, and same here in Japan. There are individuals - stupid people exist everywhere - who might reject you because of the color of your skin or because of mixed marriage etc. - but such people are not really supported and are not organized like for example feminist hateful groups in the USA.
One of these hateful groups was even able to create a 'marriage broker act', a law which might restrict or delay your contact with a foreign woman if you use introduction services on the internet (IMBRA) and managed to receive a lot of money from the US-government for such activities.
http://www.tahirih.org/what-we-do/polic ... e-brokers/
What is astonishing about USA is the size of such useless, anti-male organizations, it's a million dollar business.

Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Yeah, that is the same case here in Bishkek, none of the Kyrgyz and other foreigners from neighboring countries have a problem with me at all despite my super exoticism among the local people. As for my interest in the local women, no one even bats an eye or even care if I am sitting with or openingly flirting with local girls here and they even encourage it. The same goes for the Slavics that live here, although Slavic women are not my cup of tea. I can't really say that about Mongolians If I went to Mongolia though...
I just read that article and I can clearly see that the speech patterns is nothing but a mask to hide their true hateful intent against Western (more specifically white) men! it is sickening! You would think these organizations would be more concerned about the men in those countries considering that these places have much less rights than the west. You'd swear after reading and listening to western feminist controlled media that Western men are far more evil and demonic then fundamentalists Muslims in the middle east.
This is the number one reason why I am studying my ass off to learn Japanese and Russian so that I won't be stuck reading so much hateful BS in the only language I know. I just got over my red pill rage after leaving the west but when I come across similar articles or comments , it becomes a painful reminder why I left in the first place!
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
These are men from three different loser categories, Zero Sum Loser, the Poor Circumstances Loser, and the Jezebel Spirit Loser.
The Zero Sum Loser who see life and women as a zero sum game. In other words, someone else's gain is automatically their loss. Intelligent men realize that the opposite, an abundance mentality, is a more powerful way to live and achieve one's goals.
For example, if you were seen walking around in your American home town with a pretty girl from Bishkek:
The Zero Sum Loser will see you and think, "Yet one more hot girl taken by this "_____ guy. Why are they taking all the good women from us?"
Conversely, healthy man who is making strides will have an abundance mindset and would think "Wow, that guy really scored by being with her! I'm going to do what I have to do to improve myself to get a girl just like her because they are out there in the millions!"
There is a second category of loser men who will hate on a Happier Abroad MGTOW, the resentfully envious man with who feels he must live with his bad circumstances or prior poor choices and he knows he cannot achieve what you have. This might be a morbidly obese man or the man who is married to a fat and unpleasant Western woman and he hates to see you with young, thin, hot women because it reminds him of his lamentable condition. He might lash out with to you with religious warnings about living in sin, or he might appeal to morality by saying the girl is too young for you, or he might just cast doubt on the girl by saying she only wants a US Green Card, your money, or she seems to be a slut.
The third category of loser men who do this are exhibiting the Jezebel Spirit Loser mindset which is usually seen in females. The Jezebel Spirit Loser lives to knock you off your perceived perch by using ridicule, planting crazy seeds of doubt, and otherwise trying to sabotage the good thing you have going (ie. intentionally giving bad advice.)
All of these loser men, the Zero Sum Loser and the trapped in Poor Circumstances Loser, and the Jezebel Spirit Loser manifest their disgust with themselves by hating on guys like you who are succeeding abroad especially with the ladies.
Being at the receiving end of their attacks is confirmation that you are doing things correctly for yourself. Haters gonna hate; it's part of being successful!
Finally, on very rare occasions in life you will encounter men who have characteristics of all three loser types. Hi Cornfed!

Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
The only reason such hate might come is if guys are mongers looking for cheap sex. Clearly this is not the case with the guy I was citing. It's certainly not the case with peope like Yohan. The guy who made the channel Phillipine dreams is just one guy who found a nice lady who happened to be from the philipines. Certainly no monger from what I saw. I can't understand why people hate seeing people in happy relationships.
Why does so much of the hate come from the USA, th UK and Australia?
@ Contrarian expat, ORDER! Keep on topic. If you want to get into my recent complaint about mgtow, start another thread or continue the existing one I started. If you want to thump your chest, do it there, thanks.
I whole-heartedly agree with Momopi, 'misery loves company'.
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
I can only compare the situation in Continental Europe, my native place, and also here in Japan, where I am living with USA.
Nowhere else is rampant feminism so hateful as it is in USA/UK/Australia.
You don't find such a hateful rhetoric in other countries against men.
Almost all radical feminists are from these 3 countries.
Comparing USA with Germany for example, the legal situation in USA is a mess. A very costly man-hating mess especially in family courts in case of divorce without any clear rules. A business for lawyers and women.
This is not the case in Germany, Sweden etc, rules about child support, alimony, money which cannot be taken away from a father/ex-husband because he also needs money to survive etc. are all clearly regulated, you cannot talk around as a lawyer or woman to change that - therefore the situation between men and women is much less hateful in case of a breakup.
Some other 'hot topics' in USA are also better regulated in Continental Europe, for example abortion.
So far, most men and women agree to the present abortion regulation in Continental Europe and also here in Japan.
No much discussion going on about this issue.
There are also much better labor regulations in Central Europe compared to the USA, you cannot be dismissed so easily, also for women for example in case of pregnancy - and there is better health care up to end of your life and more vacation for everybody.
You might expect an especially man-hating super-feminist society in countries like Sweden or Norway, but this is not the case.
The way how people are living together is about not to disturb anybody, to consider other people next to you.
Re: What is the problem people have for being happier abroad?
Regarding the note about men showing disapproval to men settling in relationships with foreign women, one reason I can think of is that such men who show disapproval are scared of disapproval from their peers. There maybe genuine issues with western women that need to be brought-up and understood BUT, men cannot adress these without fear of being labelled a sexist. Western women do need to need more kind. Because they cannot, they feel nobody understands.
Look what I captured from another forum; a post titled 'to the women'
How many men say they want the same from women? How many women live upto that? How come men justify having preferences about weight all the time? This poster's right, she has rightly identified a sense of entitlement. How many western women do you know that fit the bill of that list?
Is it unreasonable that a bloke is happy when he meets a woman who meets the criteria of the list? Is it unreasonabe that if a man meets such a woman from another country? Isn't it more concerning that women like that are more common from other countries? Is't it even more concerning that people are too scared to even address the issue for fear of dissapproval from peers?
Actually, this goes for men as well, my grandma is right, western men are just as bad as western women.

(Warning: some emetophobics have a difficult time encountering words and themes related to their phobia. Even just the words alone can be very triggering. If you are extremely sensitive to the "V" and "N" words, and their various slang names, please read the below with caution.)
Sure, vomiting is unpleasant. I don't know a single soul who looks forward to getting the stomach virus, but most of my friends and family members can puke, if needed, with a staggeringly positive attitude and a calm demeanor.
I don't know how they do it. Nausea and vomiting — even just the idea of vomiting — are panic triggers for me. Nausea will easily produce a fight-or-flight response in my gut, and the resulting adrenaline rush will, in turn, stir up more nausea. I am afraid of feeling nauseous and afraid of what the unsettled stomach might lead to.
But is my fear of vomiting a phobia in and of itself?
I was six years old. It was a chilly December evening as my mom and I walked into the West Side Mall to see Santa Claus. I knew my whole Christmas list by heart and I couldn't wait to tell Santa what I wanted.
We waited in line. I was wearing a pony tail, a light blue sweatshirt with all sorts of neon doodads glued to the front, and I had an orange soda stain above my upper lip. It was my typical childhood uniform.
When I sat on Santa's lap, he asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Suddenly spacey, I told him I couldn't really remember. I smiled for the camera and they handed me the Polaroid.
Mom and I left the mall and drove home.
It was a quick drive to our home the next town over. Still spacey and feeling indescribably unusual, I walked inside, took off my jacket, and sat down on the living room floor. Then, suddenly, a horrible feeling overcame me and my gut.
"Mom," I yelled, "something is wrong! I don't feel good!"
She ran me into the bathroom where I puked up orange soda for the rest of the evening and night. I remember staring into the peach-colored toilet bowl. I remember my mom pressing a wet hunter green washcloth to my back. I remember refusing to close my mouth lest I accidentally swallow any of the vomit.
I remember getting shaky after each bout of puking. I remember how I laid on the couch while my mom watched Dallas on our old RCA TV in the wooden cabinet. It was the very first night of my entire life that I didn't brush my teeth before bed. My mom said it's okay to skip that step if you're puking and you think the taste of the toothpaste would make you feel sick, and my six-year-old self agreed.
The next morning, I stayed home from school. My mom needed to run a few errands and couldn't leave me home alone, so I had to go with her. My last "throw up," as I used to call an individual vomit session, had been in the middle of the night. Still, as I climbed into her car, my mom handed me a white plastic bucket with a picture of a red crab on it.
"Just in case," she said.
For most, this is the kind of childhood memory that might fade away after a few years. Perhaps the memory of vomiting would remain, but the details would dissolve. And the details (like the green washcloth or the design on the bucket) would mean nothing within a few years.
But for me, every single detail remained. And every single detail is still a nausea trigger.
Twenty-one years have passed and I still can't drink orange soda. I still fear peach-colored toilets. I still don't like white buckets with red designs or logos. Or the number "six" (for my age). And I hate hunter green washcloths. And Dallas. And December. (Oh, and perhaps it goes without saying that I never went to see Santa again.)
Even the intangibles still effect me: getting a "spacey" feeling or hearing someone say the words "just in case" can make my heart start pounding.
So, why is this story so memorable to me? In fact, why are ALL of my vomit experiences bizarrely memorable? Is any of this connected to my present-day panic attacks over feeling the slightest twinge of nausea while on a car ride or after eating something new?
Enter emetophobia, or the intense and irrational fear of vomiting. It's a specific phobia, diagnosable in the DSM (300.29), and it's very common. From Wikipedia:
Emetophobia refers to the intense fear of vomiting, feeling nauseated, seeing or hearing another person vomit, or seeing vomit itself. An individual with emetophobia may fear one, some, or all of these things. They may also be afraid of hearing that someone is feeling like vomiting or that someone has vomited, usually in conjunction with the fears of seeing someone vomit or seeing vomit. As with any phobia, these fears are not always logical, but they are present and very real.
British Columbia-based counselor Anna Christie describes some of the symptoms of emetophobia here. They include the following:
- Excessive hand-washing
- Superstitions about numbers and dates (the date, year, or age during which you last threw up, for example)
- Refusing to vomit when you feel ill
- Feeling the need to run away when someone else vomits
- Fear of eating food that someone else has prepared
- Fear of pregnancy (because of morning sickness)
- Fear of public restrooms (because of the chance of encountering vomit left in a toilet, or finding someone who is vomiting)
- Fear of sick people
- Fear of children (who are exceptionally likely to spit up or vomit without much warning)
Does this sound like you? I know it sure sounds like me — especially the part about the superstitions!
While I don't advocate that you self-diagnose, I do highly recommend reading up on and printing out a few emetophobia resources to share with your doctor or therapist. Treatment usually involves CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with gradual exposure to reduce your sensitivity to vomit.
"The goal of therapy is not for the client to vomit – it is for the client to be free from anxiety," Christie emphasizes on her website.
Also, to connect with others who share this fear, check out the International Emetophobia Society's website. It has a has a relatively active forum in which members post stories about their struggles and their treatment for this phobia.

Meat and scotch. No reason necessary.
Last night I went to Russell House Tavern, situated in the heart of Harvard Square. I had been for lunch before and had been unimpressed, but wanted to give the restaurant another try. The evening began well as the downstairs bar and dining room have a more relaxed vibe than the smaller, upstairs dining room.
The bar was busy for a Tuesday night, filled with Harvardians and Cantabrigian business-types. Beer seemed to be the drink of choice for most, and Russell House offers a good selection of drafts, 12 oz, and 22 oz bottles, many of which are local to the Northeast. The wines were tempting, especially the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that are on tap. I have yet to see many bars in the area try kegged wine, but I will definitely be returning to try it here. But, last night I went with my favorite – Balvenie, 12 year, neat.
Cures what ails ya
I wanted a small bite before heading home for the evening, so I perused the appetizer menu, looking for something substantial to hold me over. There are a lot of classics on offer, like crab cakes, caesar salad, and fried oysters, all which would have fit the bill. But I chose one of my favorite indulgences: steak tartare, served with a quail egg yolk and toasted brioche. The description sounded amazing, but the actual product was a little lackluster. The tartare was pleasantly herbaceous and light, but the brioche was only lightly toasted – very lightly. I wanted something crusty and crunchy to complement the soft texture of the raw steak, but the bread was just boring. The quail egg yolk ended up being my favorite part of the whole dish, but I'm a sucker for the sexy ooze of a golden yolk.
If it wasn't for the ambiance and drink menu, I probably wouldn't return to Russell House since better food for better prices is available at nearby restaurants like Tory Row and Cambridge 1. But for a good drink in a sleek bar, Russell House will do.

There's no denying that Atlanta Georgia is one of the largest cities in America with a population of millions of people in the metro and surrounding area. But somehow there is still a very high percentage of businesses that fail in the Atlanta area year after year. If you can't get your business up and running in Atlanta with millions upon millions of prospects at your fingertips, then where, perhaps, do you think you could be successful with your business?The answer is quite simply... nowhere!Atlanta Georgia has been the breeding ground for thousands of successful businesses over multiple past decades. Business owners who have failed in the other parts of the country and other parts of the world have moved to Atlanta specifically to start over with a new business idea. There are very few obstacles in or around the city of Atlanta that can hold you back from growing your business beyond your wildest dreams. Amongst those very important obstacles is your marketing and advertising.It's not just the lack of marketing and advertising that can get you into hot water quickly. Every business owner who has been in business for longer than 18 months already understands that marketing and advertising is the key to their success. If you are not marketing or advertising, you are just a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.Your marketing and advertising budget is one of the most important pieces of the business puzzle, but most business owners are not getting what they are paying for these days. Honestly, if you are a local business owner, when was the last time you truly felt your advertising dollars were getting as far as they should? Each year, traditional marketing and advertising prices continue to rise while their effectiveness continues to drastically decrease.If you want to get the most out of your advertising dollars in todays marketplace, it's absolutely crucial that you spend the majority of those advertising dollars on Internet advertising. Chances are good that your competitors have already moved their advertising dollars to the Internet or have plans in the works. Not only is it wise to invest the majority of your advertising dollars into online marketing, it's also a good idea to do your research before you commit to any particular marketing company.The title of this article suggests that you bring your local business online with an Atlanta marketing company and heres why
With all of the marketing and advertising in and around the city of Atlanta
from people holding signs on street corners to huge electronic billboards to mobile advertisements
successful Atlanta marketing companies must be at the top of their game both in "results for their clients" as well as "generating new leads for their own business." Because of the fierce competition, the hustle and bustle of daily living and the constant battle for your attention, A successful Atlanta marketing company should understand the psychology behind bringing new customers into a storefront a lot better than most online marketing and advertising firms based in other cities. Because Atlanta is such a remarkably large city, not only do you have to have great marketing that is targeted toward specific niches and groups that possesses specific characteristics, but you also have to have a sound business plan with steady principles that work over the long term.A great reason to avoid other marketing companies from cities that are even bigger than Atlanta is because the cost of living is much higher there. Cities like New York City and Los Angeles are some of the most expensive cities in the country to live in. If the cost of living is higher, then the pricing on services is obviously higher as well.If you are serious about bringing your local business online, why not try an Atlanta marketing company? Any good web-based Atlanta marketing company should be able to stretch your advertising dollar up to 30% further while at the same time drastically increasing the total number of customers and clients coming through your doors daily.Happy hunting!
Steady Stream of Customers is an Atlanta Marketing Company that specializes in complete solutions for local business owners.

Paramedic discusses 2009 MEDSTAR crash
A paramedic involved in the August 2009 crash of the MEDSTAR helicopter spoke just one day after the release of the NTSB report detailing the factors that contributed to the crash.
Right after the crash, Paramedic Dave Duncan thought he might die.
"Next thing I remember is opening my eyes, spitting out the water and thinking, 'I'm going to die here,'" said Paramedic Dave Duncan.
Duncan was first to make it to the surface.
"But you quickly realize you're there with two other people. I started yelling for Diana and Jason," said Duncan.
In complete darkness, Diana Tackett, Jason Ausman and Duncan were able to unbuckle their seatbelts and feel their way out of the submerged MEDSTAR helicopter.
They survived a violent impact. The helicopter hit the ocean at a speed of 80 miles per hour.
"You get a little teary eyed because things could've been dramatically different," said Duncan.
The National Transportation Safety Board just released the final incident report on the crash.
It blames pilot Diana Tackett for ignoring warning light indicators and failing to set the autopilot to the correct altitude.
Things Duncan says are accurate, but not reasons to pass the blame.
"It's easy to judge from what you don't know or what you read in a snippet, but it doesn't give you a glance of her character or her career," said Duncan.
Tackett flew the MEDSTAR helicopter for a decade, but because of the accident, she'll never again be at the controls. She is currently on medical leave and has asked to be reassigned.
"I hope she's not being too hard on herself with the report. I just hope she's ok," said Duncan.
Duncan is still dealing with his own issues following the crash.
"I would love to get back to being the same person or better than I was before, I'm just not there quite yet," said Duncan.
He is back to work in the helicopter because saving lives is the only life he knows.

Law of biogenesis
The law of biogenesis states that life only comes from already established life. This very important and fundamental scientific law can be credited to the work of Louis Pasteur and others. The findings rooted in repeated scientific experimentation and observation can be summarized as follows, Omne vivum ex ovo, which is Latin for, "all life is from life."
The law of biogenesis is not to be confused with Ernst Haeckel's biogenetic law.
Biogenesis and Evolution
The general theory of evolution requires the violation of this scientific law at some point in the distant past. Many evolutionist websites, in keeping consistent with their beliefs on origins, teach abiogenesis (the opposite of biogenesis) as occurring at least once in the history of the universe,[1][2] although such has never been observed. In a letter that Charles Darwin wrote to J.D. Hooker (February 1871), he makes the remarkable suggestion that life may have begun in a
|... warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, lights, heat, electricity, etc. present, that a protein compound was chemically formed ready to undergo still more complex changes, at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed. [3] [4]
Of course, this assumption relies heavily upon faith. There has never been a scientific observation of life arising from non-living matter (abiogenesis). It would, however, seem that the scientific community in its modern incarnation, coupled with atheism and naturalism, would rather build upon unsubstantiated theories such as abiogenesis, rather than follow well established, empirically tested, scientific laws such as biogenesis.
Louis Pasteur knew quite well after debunking current thinking that microorganisms do spontaneously arise, stating that "spontaneous generation is a dream," or in French it reads,
|La génération spontanée est une chimère.

Our sex is determined by the X and Y chromosomes. Usually, girls have two X chromosomes (XX) and boys have one X and one Y (XY), but approximately one in 500 boys are born with an extra X or Y.
Having three rather than two sex chromosomes can disrupt formation of mature sperm and cause infertility.
In a study published in the journal Science, scientists at Francis Crick Institute in London and Kyoto University in Japan described a way to remove the extra sex chromosome to produce fertile offspring.
If the findings can be safely transferred into humans, it might eventually be possible for men with Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) or Double Y syndrome (XYY) who are infertile to have children through assisted reproduction using this technique.
"Our approach allowed us to create offspring from sterile XXY and XYY mice," said first author Takayuki Hirota from the Francis Crick Institute.
"It would be interesting to see whether the same approach could one day be used as a fertility treatment for men with three sex chromosomes," Hirota said.
The team took small pieces of ear tissue from XXY and XYY mice, cultured them, and collected connective tissue cells known as fibroblasts.
They turned the fibroblasts into stem cells and noticed that in the process, some of the cells lost the extra sex chromosome.
With an existing method, they used specific chemical signals to 'guide' the stem cells into becoming cells that have the potential to become sperm.
These cells developed into mature sperm when injected into the testes of a host mouse.
The researchers then harvested these mature sperm and used them through assisted reproduction to create healthy, fertile offspring.
In a preliminary experiment, the team found that stem cells produced from fibroblasts of men with Klinefelter syndrome also lost the extra sex chromosome.
However, more research is needed before this approach could ever be used in humans, the researchers pointed out.

It's hard to know if everything just seems bad, or it actually is. They say it's darkest before the dawn. But even if dawn does come, everything that happened remains.
I wish i could recognise that person i used to be. Eager, open, fervent. I wish i could say that everything that I went through made me stronger. They definitely changed things. I'm definitely different. Just not in the way that would help me.

Live Mesh is a new software product from Microsoft that was released to public few months back. It helps in synchronizing files and folders that are used across different computers and devices.
When you work on a project or document on more than one computer (say one at home and one at work), you often land into this issue of keeping the files synchronized. Live Mesh solves this issue by connecting all the devices together, so that you don't have to manually copy and keep the latest files by yourself.
To use Live Mesh go to http://www.mesh.com and sign in using a Windows Live ID (hotmail email address is good enough). After that, add a device (say your work computer) to the Mesh by installing the Live Mesh client software. Now you can choose any folder to be a Live Mesh Folder and the files in that folder will be automatically synchronized with other devices you have added to your Mesh.
Live Mesh also has a Live Desktop as part of the connected devices that you can access from any other computer (say internet café) through a browser. This Live Desktop shows all Mesh Folders and files and it is even possible to remotely connect to a computer.
Another useful feature is the ability to share a Mesh Folder with a remote user. I played with this feature today and found the updates I make to a file are visible to the shared user within few seconds.
Microsoft is releasing development APIs and SDKs as well, for developers who can make use of the Live Mesh platform to create applications that are accessible across multiple devices. Live Mesh is now in Tech Preview state (not even Beta) and Mobile and Mac support are also on its way.

October seems to be the month for color consultations. We're starting to migrate back inside, my phone is ringing and wall color is the hot topic. One of my clients will be doing BM-Stardust with BM-White Dove trim. A gorgeous combo and I can't wait to see the outcome. I couldn't talk them into Farm Fresh (below) on the ceiling……. the ultimate.
This client is also doing a tranquil and soothing bedroom in Nimbus Gray (above) with White Dove trim. Although it comes off as a blue, it's in the grey family and is very soft, pretty and serene but can also be dramatic depending on how it's used.
Benjamin Moore HC-169 Coventry GreyIn a bedroom, the debate is over Sherwin Williams 6415-Hearts of Palm, much softer than the old granny smith apple, yet still bright and cheerful and 7732-Lemongrass, sophisticated and chic especially when paired with black and tan.
Nobody has bitten on the Benjamin Moore color of the year, 331-Lemon Souffle …… just not feeling the soft yellow yet.

I'm not the type of person to document my life, I rarely take photos, I rarely do much of anything, I just kinda assume that if the memory is good, I'll end up remembering it. If not, I'll forget it.
I'm having a hard time moving away, I have to move all the way across the country from a place I've spent my whole life so I've been basically moping around and taking stock of my surroundings one last time, haha. I think it's 'cause I know, somewhere, there's very little chance of me coming back here to live.
Drawing this comic reminded me that I had spent July 4th with my other friend, Ashwara. I had completely forgotten until Alex and I were watching the fireworks. I had gone up to visit Ashwara in Boston and we had spent July 4th on the roof of his apartment watching the fireworks. Kinda makes me wonder how many good times I forgot over the years?
To end, if anyone doesn't get the joke about the trees, in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, they indicate you've watered a flower by having is sparkle.
ALSO. People who say just 'cause I'm a fujoshi I should get along with other fujoshis? Those are probably the type of people to think females befriend each other easily just be being females! IT'S ABOUT THE PAIRINGS, GODDAMMIT. As I've found out from my many years of being into BL, I tend to like one of the least popular pairings which is the ONLY thing holding together mine and Alex's friendship!

You are such a cutie, and I'm glad you have such nice frienships in your life. That sounds just blissful. ;u;
Oh gosh, Free!, it's hard for me to watch becaused of the anatomy. I have no idea what they were thinking. They all look like scary, ribbed monsters and it makes me cry.

@Panduhr: Heyyyy, you found me! I draw and write David Doesn't Get It, hello.
@redleaveshavefallen: Eh?! Nothing about this should indicate that I am cute, not at all.
Haha, I thought the anatomy was weird at first, like the heads were too small, and it kinda feels like they were trying to, uh, transition from a moe style they're known for to a more realistic, BL style. Say if I'm blinded by fandom, but I got used to it, eventually, hahaha.

Hi wow
Was super confused at first till' I went digging.

Thank you.

Your comment made me really, really happy. Thank you so much! I accept your love graciously.

Back when Roller Coaster Tycoon released in 1999, it was a massive hit, I played the hell out it. I mean who didn't want to own a theme park and build it from the ground up. Quite a few years have passed since a theme park building simulator was released. Come 2016 we have not one but 3 competitors trying to cash in on your Roller Coaster Tycoon nostalgia, but this game stands up in its own ways. Parkitect is from a small company called Texel Rapter who crowd-funded an amount of $63,700 which was more than its goal of raising $50,000. Finally, on May 2016 Parkitect showed up on steam as an early access game.
Coming to the game, the strongest suite is its simplicity which distinguishes it from its competitor "Planet Coaster". This game doesn't overwhelm you with new mechanics, but instead keeps it old school. On my first play through I jumped right into the sandbox mode and didn't bother with the tutorial (which I later regret in most games), but surprisingly enough I was familiar with most of the mechanics, it controlled like one of the Tycoon games. In no time I was putting rides just about anywhere I could and forming pathways without any planning, could feel those nostalgic vibes reaching inside me. This game takes the best of the Tycoon games and builds upon it, for example when you build a shop it automatically aligns itself in the direction of the pathways, this might feel like a small change but I find it very useful. There is a cocktail of rides and coasters you can construct right away and
There is a cocktail of rides and coasters you can construct right away and many downloadable in the form of assets from the community, which is impressive considering its still on Alpha stage. The game's NPC is neat, park visitors can find their way to the rides without any map hubs given a path is provided, you can also read their thoughts so that you can find out the areas your Park is lacking, every visitor seems unique in appearance which is a nice touch. Then there is the hiring mechanism where you can employ people like janitors and mechanics to keep your operations running smoothly but you have to keep them satisfied as well to ensure they work properly.
Making coasters is simple and the mechanics are also smooth, but make sure you test your ride first before you throw it open to the guests as improper construction can crash your ride and turn the passengers into white puff. The game assets like pathways and trees are very detailed, and the game art is brilliant and these are one of the areas this game that hits the ball out of the park. Parkitect indeed does a lot of things right but there are a few things here and there which I feel should be addressed before it comes out from alpha, for example, Parkitect doesn't reward you for creativity, no matter how good a Roller Coaster you make, the only thing the game will reward you for is its size. The same thing is evident for the construction of the park, the game won't reward you for a well planned out Park but instead on the number of things you fit into it. There are minor issues with the frame rates too as they seem to take a hit when there are a lot of things on screen, even on powerful hardware.

In conclusion, I would say, this game delivers a lot and considering its in alpha stage many of it's cons are justified and even though being in such a early stage of development it has an active and lovely community. Parkitect is indeed a true successor to the Roller Coaster Tycoon series.

Hi Michelle, we have 14 of those starter fences for our chooks and ducks and we love them and are about to by some more. We use the starter fences as opposed to the master fences as we need the smaller holes for the chicks and ducklings. We would definitely recommend them.ReplyDelete

Today Is What?
Hard to believe we're only 11 months away from Christmas! - ha ha.
If you're in search of "conversation starters," today is:
- The birthday of Saran Wrap. The plastic film was actually the result of a laboratory accident. Dow wasn't sure what to do with the stuff until the military needed a protective wrapping for equipment being sent overseas. It wasn't until after WW2 that Dow realized Saran Wrap could keep both tanks and tuna fresh.
- The birthday of Bubble Wrap. At one time it was promoted as being a new type of wallpaper - never caught on though.
- Speak Up And Succeed Day. Remember good leaders tend to also be good listeners.
- Fun At Work Day. Here's a little something that should make you feel a little deprived at work. A new survey finds that 36% of women have flashed a male coworker on the job - enough said.
- A Room of One's Own Day. Many consider the bathroom to be that "special place." A new survey finds that 12% of us see the bathroom as a place to unwind. 10% say they do their best thinking in the bathroom. And 21% of those polled admit that bathroom time is the only private time they have all day.
And on a related note, Sunday is Thomas Crapper Day. He's the guy who invented the flush toilet - Celebrate however you wish!
