It was a Tuesday morning and things were beginning to ramp up in the Sys Admin office. We were doing our routine AM checks when we noticed a production VM had the word "inaccessible" next to it in the console. The VM was completely un-responsive; we couldn't open a console in vSphere and it wasn't responding to pings. None of the typical vSphere operations did anything. 30 minutes later we started to get calls that one of the spam filters (a VM on a different host) had gone down. Same issue, the VM was labeled "inaccessible" and was dead to the world. And finally, a third VM on yet another host showed the same symptoms a while later.
We hadn't seen this sort of thing in VMware before. One thought was to remove the VM's from inventory and import them back into vCenter. But what if there were something more to it? The fact that it happened on three different hosts at three different times led us to believe this wasn't just an environmental thing. We decided to place the hosts in maintenance mode and reboot them, after which the VM's returned to normal operation.
VMware found identical issues on all three hosts.

Support recommended we downgrade the LPFC (Emulex OneConnect OCe11100 HBA) driver from 10.2.216.7 to 10.0.727.44. If you've followed our saga, you might recall VMware recommended version 10.2.216.7 in PSOD Blues Part 2. Apparently we had been misinformed. Nice!
Meanwhile one of our vendor's engineers mentioned he had seen similar anomalies with other customers. There was just something about running the ESXi HP build on Gen 8 hardware that caused frequent PSOD's and even inaccessible VM's. His recommendation was to run the "generic" VMware ESXi build as he had seen no issues after dozens of implementations with Gen 8 servers. All of this seemed to make perfect sense. My co-worker and I had never seen any instability at our previous jobs and neither of us had run vendor builds. Within a week and a half we had rebuilt every one of our hosts without any downtime (isn't Virtualization great?). The only change I made was to downgrade the bundled HPSA driver from 184.108.40.206 to 22.214.171.124 as described in PSOD Blues Part 1.
It's been just over a week since rebuilding our hosts and so far things have been stable. I'll give an update here in a few weeks on how things are going.

Hello all at Matava,Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our week with you recently. The diving of course was spectacular and the atmosphere at the resort was wonderful. It is a credit to you all.
Thank you so much for your generosity in giving the week as a prize package, I can see why people would come half way round the world for such an experience. Now we are home and back into the routine of everyday life, but still find ourselves having "Matava moments" where our thoughts drift back to the manta rays, the food, the peace and remoteness, and the wonderful people we met.
Hopefully will come back some day, but in the meantime are spreading the word about such a paradise. All the best...Paul and Sophie (Australia)

Both local fan clubs and visiting fans converge during this series at the best sports bar in New Orleans, The American Sports Saloon, 1200 Decatur. So get your gear on, and come make some noise for the NBA Eastern Conference Finals here in New Orleans.
Every game show with Sound inside, or enjoy a balcony table and TV with Sound overlooking the French Quarter. Either way, this is how you experience sports in New Orleans.
This will mark the second consecutive year that the Celtics and Cavaliers have faced off with a chance to go to the Finals on the line.
James' greatness has been off the charts even by his standards in the postseason, as he has averaged 34.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists, shooting 55.3 percent from the field and delivering a slew of late-game dagger shots.
The star of the Celtics' playoff run has been coach Brad Stevens, who has led Boston over two teams (Milwaukee and Philadelphia) that had talent advantages. He's had to make things work with a third-year, first-time starter — Terry Rozier — and rookie Jayson Tatum as his top two offensive options.

Choice of the majority
Video is the quickest and the most effective marketing instrument. It is used by many successful marketing companies aiming to attain better results. And to get good results with the help of explainer video, it's necessary to know how to include it in a marketing company.
Today a lot of marketing specialists use explainer video for introducing of their firm's services. For creation a useful video, it's necessary to visit a website explainer video. So, what are the benefits of this idea?
There are some benefits of video introducing companies' services or production.
The first of them is an interesting presentation. Showing video is the best way to attract more clients or companions. Many people like to watch something interesting instead of reading boring billboards or advertising.
The second benefit of video is the opportunity of simple distribution. There are a lot of ways to spread video information, for example mailing.
What to do first?
There are a lot of startup video production companies making useful explainer video but what to do first to include video in a marketing company?
First of all it's necessary to plan your company. You should determine its value, aims and the target audience. Then it's necessary to shoot great video with the help of good video recording equipment to get excellent results. This video should be quite short to interest an audience, because many people don't like to watch long and boring movies.So a good video production agency will help to gain this point.
After that host your video on popular platforms to attract more visitors and potential clients. But before hosting it's necessary to test it out because your work can be not such good as you suppose. For testing the explainer video show it people who know much about your company. They can recommend to change something.

9 Celebrities I Would Befriend for their Pools
I'm guessing that celebrities probably worry a lot that people only want to be friends with them because of their fame. But not me. I'm not like that. I want to be friends with celebrities... because of their pools.
I mean, I would probably chill with Adele anyway, but now that she's acquired a super sweet Los Angeles home with this super sweet pool, I'm definitely in.
I don't even really like baseball, but I would pretend to in order to hang by the gorgeous pool at Alex Rodriguez's Florida home.
Most women love Adam Levine for his beautiful voice or his beautiful face, but I'm deeper than that. I love him for his beautiful pool.
I'm a big fan of Elton John's music, but I'm an even bigger fan of his pool.
Calvin Harris may have recently broken up with Taylor Swift, but I hear that chilling poolside with a beer is a great cure for heartache.
Cate Blanchett may be have sold the gorgeous Sydney estate where this pool is located, but I'd still be friends with her anyway.
By far the most impressive (at least size wise) of these pools is Celine Dion's, which almost qualifies as a private waterpark. The property is currently for sale (and can be yours if you happen to have $45.5 million lying around), but maybe Celine wouldn't mind if I popped by for the day.
It might not be quite as large, but the sand-bottom pool at Marc Anthony's Dominican Republic home (compound, really) could definitely give Celine a run for her money.
A backyard pool in Manhattan: that's the dream. This one belongs to Cynthia Rowley, and of all these pools is probably the most conveniently located to my apartment. Cynthia, call me.

He also discusses the new technologies and laments that little information, if any, is included in the new Draft Wayfinding Standard . Wayfinding is not just a matter of good signage – it is much more than that.
For those of us who will never know which way is North, architectural cues, symbols and signs are essential for reading and understanding the environment and being able to get around safely and easily.

Final Phase III payments under the Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Payment (DELAP) program began the week of Oct. 12, according to the USDA. The program is funded by $290 million from the 2010 Agricultural Appropriations Bill to provide loss assistance payments to eligible dairy producers.
"We know that dairy producers have been experiencing difficult economic circumstances, but with this assistance, producers have been able to offset a portion of their financial losses," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
For more, see dairy troubles
Payments to eligible DELAP program producers were issued in three payment phases. Phase I payments were issued in mid-December 2009 to dairy producers with production records from previous participation in dairy programs administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
Dairy producers who did not have production records at the FSA county office but submitted a request for DELAP benefits before the application deadline of Jan. 19 were issued payments in Phase II beginning June 18.
DELAP Phase III will be disbursed to eligible dairy producers that received DELAP benefits under Phase I or Phase II.
Of the $290 million budgeted for DELAP, a total of $273 million was dispersed to eligible dairy producers under DELAP Phase I and Phase II. The remaining $17 million -- minus a reserve established by FSA -- will be dispersed during Phase III.
For more information regarding payments under the DELAP program, visit the local FSA county office or http://www.fsa.usda.gov.

I've literally worn this polka dot dress a million times since April, when my sweet mama sent it for my birthday. I've traipsed around the desert in it, met friends for lunch in it, picnicked in it, explored Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore and Australia in it, even been snapped by street style photogs wearing it (thanks, Mom!). This dress has seen it all.
When the weather's warm, an easy breezy dress can't be beat (and don't hate me for this, but it was in the 80s all weekend long). So it was the first thing I reached for on a toasty Friday night for the Stamberg Aferiat book party at The Saguaro to kick off Palm Springs Modernism Week, followed by shenanigans at The Ace. Since I was on the PS ModSquad, I needed to dress it up a little though, which is where these sparkling heels came in to play…
See how I wore it here…
A pop of red on my nails and glittering heels gave what's become my go-to dress a retro feel…which felt just right for Palm Springs.
What's your go-to look?
What I'm Wearing:
Forever 21 polka dot dress (similar here, here and here)
Sole Society 'Stella' heels (a steal at under $50)
House of Harlow cuff
Rossmore LA heart earrings c/o
WHBM bow ring (similar here)

VANCOUVER, CANADA -- July 27, 2005 -- Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. ("Nam Tai" or the "Company") (NYSE Symbol: NTE) announced that oral argument was heard on July 26, 2005, on Lead Plaintiff Douglas Ward's Motion for Certification as Class Representative and Appointment of Class Counsel ("the Motion") in the consolidated action entitled Michael Rocco v. Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. 03-CV-1148 ("the Rocco Action"). The Motion seeks to certify the Rocco Action as a class action, naming Lead Plaintiff Douglas Ward class representative, and appointing the law firm of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP as Lead Class Counsel. The Company opposes the Motion. The Court reserved judgment on the Motion at the conclusion of the oral argument, and the Company anticipates a written ruling from the Court in the months to follow.
The initial complaint in the Rocco Action was filed on February 20, 2003. In July 2003, this initial complaint was consolidated with another complaint filed in April 2003 captioned A.J. & Celine Steigler v. Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. et al. The consolidated complaint was filed in July 2003 on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased the common shares of Nam Tai from July 29, 2002 through February 18, 2003. The consolidated complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and alleges that material misrepresentations and/or omissions were made during the alleged class period concerning the partial reversal of an inventory provision and a charge to goodwill related to a corporate transaction involving Nam Tai.
Nam Tai believes the Rocco Action to be wholly without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously to protect its name and the interests of its shareholders.

What do Charles Darwin and Age of Conan have in common? Evolution. We take a look at Xfire's one-hour live preview of Rise of the Godslayer and break it all down. New or old to the game, there's a lot going into the expansion and things are getting exciting.
To populate the lands the AI has been cleverly designed. A flock (or gaggle?) of firebirds will run away if you approach them. Should you want to kill them, youll have to be sneaky about it. Youll need to find one who has its head buried in the sand, and then attack it from a distance. Once youve adequately peeved it off, its mates will join in to smack you around a bit.

Wheal Roots 18th century Tin Mine workings at The Poldark Mine can be used for Civil Marriage Ceremonies as it an approved place duly licenced by Cornwall Council.
The licence permits Civil Weddings and the Renewal of Wedding Vows; in the tin mine; in the garden; or in a private meeting room. Naming Ceremonies can also be arranged.
Tenth Wedding Anniversaries are quite a good idea in the mine workings or in our grounds as the 10th anniversary of a wedding is traditionally celebrated with gifts of tin - what better place to do this but in a genuine Cornish Tin Mine.
VENUE 1 Garden & Bandstand - 40 or more persons - Trenere Wolas Gardyns have been used for tin processing since the 13th century.
The covered bandstand in the garden is licenced for up to 40 persons. Use of the garden and bandstand is naturally dependent on good weather, but many more guests can be seated in the open air on the lawns around the bandstand beside our main pond.
VENUE 2 Holman Cavern - 25 persons - The workings of Wheal Roots Tin Mine date from the 1700s and have been open to the public for over 44 years. This is the only Tin Mine where wedding ceremonies can be held.
The underground Holman Cavern in the mine can accommodate up to 25 persons. Its an ideal size for small groups attending Civil Marriage Ceremonies. If required, it is possible to arrange a televised relay of the ceremony [at an additional cost] to large screens or televisions on the surface.
VENUE 3 The Pavilion is a private meeting or exhibition room - up to 120 persons can be seated in a cinema style and the rustic-style room can be arranged as required for wedding ceremonies for which it is licenced. This room is ideal for use during wet weather just in case the gardens and bandstand are booked and rain descends.
CATERING We work with a very local restaurant and function suite who are very experienced wedding and function caterers. They can provide a wedding champagne or fizzy wine reception in the gardens which is popular. Finger and cold buffets and ox or pork roasts, barbeques can easily be arranged either here in the mine gardens or more formal dining can be provided with late disco and dancing at the local venue.
Marquees, bands, Djs, and other bespoke arrangements can be very easily organized. We will be pleased to discuss prices and choices.
9 Hole golfing and football golf can also be arranged for letting off some steam.

Bear Sterns PCS
2 RepliesJump to last post
Is anyone here familar with Bear Sterns Private Client Group? I have never heard much about it or seen it discussed here. I was wondering what the general consensus on it was in these forum. Any help is appreciated.
Bear Sterns is a Great Firm.
Usually you start as a cold caller for a senior broker. If you do well, they will sponsor you for your series 7. Once you're licensed you're expected to open 50 accounts for your broker. Then you're on your own.
Very generous payout 50%. Brokers at Bear usually trade individual stocks, bonds, options, and very little packaged products. A lot of them Place trades for mid market hedge funds.
Since there are only 500 brokers at the firm, you get access to research analyst, traders, floor brokers, etc.
Overall a great firm if you work with HNW & Sophisticated clients.
Hope that helps. Cheers!

Smart electricity meters, of which there are more than 100 million installed around the world, are frequently "dangerously insecure," a security expert has said.
The lack of security in the smart utilities raises the prospect of a single line of malicious code cutting power to a home or even causing a catastrophic overload leading to exploding meters or house fires, according to Netanel Rubin, co-founder of the security firm Vaultra.
"Reclaim your home," Mr. Rubin told hackers and security experts, "or someone else will." If a hacker took control of a smart meter, they would be able to know "exactly when and how much electricity you're using," Mr. Rubin told the 33rd Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg. An attacker could also see if a home had any expensive electronics.
"He can do billing fraud, setting your bill to whatever he likes ... The scary thing is if you think about the power they have over your electricity. He will have power over all of your smart devices connected to the electricity. This will have more severe consequences: imagine you woke up to find you'd been robbed by a burglar who didn't have to break in.
"But even if you don't have smart devices, you are still at risk. An attacker who controls the meter also controls the meter's software, allowing him to cause it to literally explode." Mr. Rubin said many of the warnings were not hypothetical.
In 2009 Puerto Rican smart meters were hacked en masse, leading to widespread billing fraud, and in 2015 a house fire in Ontario was traced back to a faulty smart meter, although hacking was not implicated in that.
The problems at the heart of the insecurity stem from outdated protocols, half-hearted implementations and weak design principles.
While the physical security of smart meters is strong — "trust me, I tried" to hack in that way, Mr. Rubin said — the wireless protocols many of them use are problematic.
To communicate with the utility company, most smart meters use GSM, the 2G mobile standard. That has a fairly well-known weakness whereby an attacker with a fake mobile tower can cause devices to "hand over" to the fake version from the real tower, simply by providing a strong signal. In GSM, devices have to authenticate with towers, but not the other way round, allowing the fake mast to send its own commands to the meter.
Worse still, said Mr. Rubin, all the meters from one utility used the same hard-coded credentials. "If an attacker gains access to one meter, it gains access to them all. It is the one key to rule them all." Inside the home, too, the communications are rendered insecure by outdated standards and bad implementation.
Almost all smart meters use the Zigbee standard to speak to other smart devices in the home. Zigbee, which dates from 2003, is a home automation standard, used for controlling everything from lightbulbs to air conditioners. But it is so convoluted, due to the vast array of devices supported, that it is almost better to think of it as 15 different standards, each of which vendors can choose to implement as they see fit.
"This unique situation is so difficult to implement, vendors actually choose what they want to implement. And when they choose what to support, they more often than not skip security," Mr. Rubin said. — The Guardian

You know when you go away somewhere and come back feeling like you need another break to recover from that one!? Well that's how I feel. We got home early Sunday evening after a couple of nights away in the Lake District; a much needed break and some quality "couple time" after a horrendous year.
We stayed in a Hotel in Kendal, but visited Bowness and Keswick. We also drove through the lovely Ambleside.
One of the things I love about Mark is that he let's me be "geeky", he'll happily come with me to museums and instead of being "blokey" about it - he joins in and takes an interest in whatever it is. We went to the Museum of Lakeland Life - where we tried Kendal Mint Cake after watching a video play out of StuartPeacocks 2010 Everest ascent. We spent Saturday morning at the Beatrix Potter Museum, which surprisingly we both loved - and bought the girls a present from their gift shop. We found Bakwell Tart flavoured Fudge for Osh - he loves Bakewell Tarts.
Mark then got to throw his car round the bends as we made our way up to Keswick, where I was very brave and didn't buy anything in Joules shop - even though we were both walking adverts for the company.
The Hotel had a pool and a Steam room which we made use of on Friday evening, but I am so glad that we didn't spend the whole weekend in the Hotel - we got out and about and even though I am shattered now, it was lovely seeing new places and doing things together...just the two of us.
PS. The Health Visitor came to my Mam's house on Friday morning and Martha Grace weighs 5.29Kg...up from 5.14Kg the week before. As a result this week we have decided to cut out the night feed and see how she get's on. She didn't wake until 7am on Monday morning - but I was still awake at 3am out of habit.

Eating more protein will cause new muscle growth
Our body uses protein to rebuild muscles that have been damaged during exercise or weight training. However consuming extra protein will not simply result in you gaining extra muscle but rather for your muscle to grow and strengthen you need to provide it with a physical stimulus like exercise and weight training. This training will breakdown your muscle tissue, your body will then.

Free and budget WordPress Templates
There are vast numbers of free and low-cost WordPress templates.
Will an off-the-shelf template be right for me?
There are vast numbers of free and low-cost WordPress templates.
Will an off-the-shelf template be right for me?
Because we work with great designers we love to build completely custom website designs and layouts for our customers. These templates are what keep your site, and the content that you add yourself, in a consistent style. It is possible to find free (or buy low-cost) templates for WordPress. And there are literally thousands of them.
This depends on your budget, and your desire for individuality. For some; the website is just a framework and, so long as it doesn't look dreadful and functions adequately, having a similar looking site to a competitor is fine. For others with strong brands which they want to continue throughout the site: only a custom build will suffice. I'm surprised how many designers go for a stock-template to use for their portfolio, maybe they are unaware of the possibilities of WordPress to unleash their creative juices !
Some 'off-the-shelf' templates have very few configurable options, some have loads of options. But if you want to do more than choose how many posts appear per page, which font and font-colour is used: you are going to need a programmer. All off-the-shelf templates have the limitation that you may end up wanting to do something which the template simply won't do 'out of the box'. Some templates lend themselves to enhancements – these are programmer-friendly and have special code which is easy to adjust. Genesis is a very popular system, and I would consider it a 'programmer-friendly' system. We have done some very complex sites built on top of the Genesis framework. Check out our testimonials and case-studies.
Because we are primarily programmers here at Digital Acorn we can customise any template to your liking – whereas an artist would simply be stuck fiddling with the options within the administration section.
It will certainly save on the design and layout of the site, if you are happy to stick with the layout(s) provided by the template. However, sometimes starting from a stock template makes building your site more expensive than starting from scratch, especially if you would like to make certain changes. Speak to us before you buy a template, we'll ensure you do the right thing for your needs.
Plugins typically add functionality to the visual layout provided by a template. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Arbitrarily dropping plugins onto a site for 'twitter-feeds', 'related posts' and other features can lead to the site malfunctioning, looking inconsistent and sometimes downright ugly! We can write plugins or fix the styling within plugins to work with your theme, whether it is off-the-shelf or not.
We can customise, or write from scratch, both templates and plugins to ensure you site looks and functions exactly how you want.

Express / Mayfair Games
Back to BBG home page
Alan Stewart writes about his house rules for Express:1. Remove 2 turntables from the game. 2. You can place as many `way cards' down in front of you as exposed protection as you like on any turn.
If still there when someone goes out, they score 5 points each from the 3rd one on (eg. 1 or 2 score 0; 3 scores 5; 4 scores 10; 5 scores 15; etc.)
(Rationale for this: If only allowed to place one per turn, you may not be able to do a legal first move! eg. What about if you're dealt 5 way cards, a diesel and 2 disasters say? You have to go first, and pick up a caboose and 1 hopper. You cannot legally start 2 trains and put down enough cards to get below the 5 maximum, unless you can play all the way cards. It has happened, ask Justin Ackroyd!)3. Passenger car train (express) bonuses.
a) A diesel always doubles any points
b) 6 coaches in any position in the train is a double
c) 1 of each type anywhere in the train is a double
d) Order must me MCDSO, starting with M, and no gaps, to get the double.
Duplication is fine as long as the order is preserved.
The following would be a bonus double
The following would not be a double

is very possible, I don't think offshoring is a positive sign for a stable company. TAT is dictated by the account and even though on my account TAT is constantly out of TAT you can only let it slide for so long before the account starts screaming. We are probably getting more work because the hospital also has MTs on staff and some of them are off for the holidays. I do think it unrealistic for an account that gives you overflow to expect you to handle a significant amount of extra work and still keep in TAT.

To my knowledge, Spheris is owned by Warburg and Soros, not Indians. Google Spheris and Soros, and you'll understand why things have gone south.
It was a great benefit for me being an IC because I would work and get big paychecks and being a single mom, I would get the child credits and the earned income tax credits, and I would actually get money back, quite a bit.
But now that that is not going to happen anymore, I want some PTO and all those nice benefits!!! Im just ready for a change...
Which companies actually hire employees and offer PTO, etc.?
I've been in the business 20 years too. I worked for Transcend for 4 years and my honeymoon period with them lasted about 7 months. Once the honeymoon was over, it was one of the worst job experiences I have ever had.
I thought you were allowed to choose your own hours.
what the reality is today, not four months ago.
Congratulations on your windfall, though.
If you have doubts, email or call the person who hired you and they'll verify this.
Big changes a coming...
she's talking about that we will have to volunteer xxx amount of lines to the legal fund
put in for PTO 3 yrs in advance
be required to have state of the art systems (say the ones for 2 grand)
pay are own and 10 of our neighbors DSl bills (because MQ may have a stake in that company
commit to not only real chains to the chair but also go on ankle monitors, so that MQ management can tell when we stray farther than 2 ft from our puter's...say to go to the potty
have to go through our supe's, area managers, district higher up's then finally corporate to sign off for the shift or to notify them of our own deaths
not only be able to understand our loving ESL's but to also be able to transcribe in their native languages if they so desire
be ready, willing and able to put up during training all the offshores who so desire to come to the US to train...kinda like a foreign exchange transcriptionist
Last but not least, to have the common sense to duck when that sky falls
i love those the end is near posts.....geez
it seems to me that not liking change and distrustfulness gets more people in trouble as being trusting. I don't think to be trusting is to be naive. Yes, MTSOs, even small ones, are in business, not friendship. But if you are a good employee, and a good MT, you don't have to necessarily fear change, and an MTSO is not going to willingly let the good transcriptionists go. It's the ones who insulate themselves or think that they're better MTs than what they are who get mad when change happens or whose accounts are cut off because they do crap work and then go and spread nasty rumors trying to make trouble. I've been on both sides of the issue multiple times in 18 years, both remote MT and middle management, and I've worked for a company that sold out. It wasn't the end of the world, though some of my coworkers tended to make it out to be. You can be friends with your employer and yet still realize that they're not going to leave you their company when they die. You don't have to cut yourself off of all emotions, you just have to be realistic and realize if you don't do good work, you're going to be out of a job, friend or not.
Does anyone know in word how to change the background color and get it to stick? Everytime I change and exit out it goes back to white.
between IC and employee is because as an employee they pay part of your taxes. I prefer to have company pay taxes rather than dealing with having to pay quarterly taxes. There may be a line rate difference and your net will be lower, but you don't have to worry about socking money away to pay quarterly taxes. I haven't run the numbers, but I don't think there is a difference in pay.
This is no longer the once respected career where one is paid for their knowledge and many years of experience. I urge everyone to pay very close attention to who they are voting for in the presidential race and what they stand for. Back the candidate who says no more tax breaks for businesses that are sending our jobs overseas. It not only applies to our jobs but those throughout the country. How many times do you call a customer service line and get someone on the line you cannot even understand??? This is an outrage!!! While people here in the US struggle to find jobs or see their $$$ go down and still have to work under sweatshop conditions. Bottom line, back the person who is going to help us the most at risk for losing our job to some offshore company. Companies will say they will never do it. Believe me, if its going to increase their bottom line they will do it. Most of all do vote, every single vote can make a difference.

Temperature for March 1979

MOODY BLUES — ( The Land of Make-believe Lyrics )
Moody Blues › The Land of Make-believe
We're living in a land of make believe
And trying not to let it show
Maybe in that land of make believe
Heartaches can turn into joy
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low
We're taking up a lot of room
Somewhere in the dark and silent night
Our prayer will be heard
Make it soon
So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why
Open all the shutters on your windows
Unlock all the locks upon your doors
Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams
No secrets come between us anymore
Oh, say it's true
Only love can see you through
You know our love can't hurt you
We're living in a land of make believe
And trying not to let it show...
Maybe in that land of make believe
Heartaches can turn into joy
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low
We're taking up a lot of room
Somewhere in the dark and lonely night
Our prayer will be heard
Make it soon
So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why...
Open all the shutters on your windows
Unlock all the locks upon your doors
Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams
No secrets come between us anymore
Oh, say it's true
Only love can see you through
You know our love can't hurt you

I met "Novice Sister Right Sarong" Saturday.
I was at The Chute, actually The Silver Stirrup, after Tennessee Vals "Girls Night Out" when a nun in whiteface came in offering condoms or candy to anyone who would take them. I declined becaues I it was some sort of scam to get a handout. I think I was wrong. She saw that I was studying her habit and explained what she was and what she was doing. What an wonderful girl. She gave me her card, with the web link to her site. I borrowed the picture here from her site. I wish now that I had taken a picture of her myself. I had a camera, I wonder why it did not occur to me.
She is a member or the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence." And her mission is:
- HIV/AIDS Education and Fundraising
- Crystal Meth Harm Reduction
- Transgender Issues Awareness

FIMA's Marty Bahamonde: The master of the understatement!
It was not that I had never heard the quote from Marty Bahamonde of FIMA. But some how today it just struck me as so funny. (Really it is just appalling that it was true, and that Brownie is still on the FIMA payrole.)
Marty wrote his now famous email after receiving an email about Brownies difficulty getting a table in a restaurant.
This prompted Bahamonde to e-mail a co-worker, "I just ate an MRE (military rations) and crapped in the hallway of the Superdome along with 30,000 other close friends, so I understand her concern about busy restaurants."Keep after them Molly!! Some one has to keep after FIMA. We all might need them some day.The italics is mine, and that is what made me laugh till I cried.

I found this during a search for the word 'transexual' in blogs.
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
(Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.)

Any way, thank you "Ma'am!"

Did you see Donna Rose in TransGeneration?
I went to a workshop given by Donna Rose at Southern Comfort. Unfortunately I was having a blond morning that continued well into the afternoon, and got there very late and had to stand in the back. It looked just like this screen shot take from the show.
Donna Rose was giving a talk on:
Yin & Yang: Finding Balance in Your T-Ness by Donna Rose.
A key concept in finding fulfillment in life is balance. Finding it is difficult. Keeping it seems almost impossible. How can you prevent your "T-ness" from becoming an all-consuming poison pill in your life? In your relationships? In your career? This unique workshop will provide some healthy thoughts and strategies to consider. (This text was borrowed from the SSC web site.)
Since I was so late I am not too sure what she actually said, but my impression of Donna was that everyone really loved her. She had such a way about her that made people just drawn to her. It was pretty amazing. I felt bad being there so late.
Anyway, In TransGeneration she was giving a seminar that Gabbie, one of the M2F girls attended. I was pleasantly surprised to see her in the show.
I Googled "Donna Rose" and found her website and learned a lot about her. She is quite the activist. (I be Moressa knows her well. LOL)
She also has a collection of 2005 SCC pictures that you can see.

Compulsive Hoarding
Compulsive hoarding is a complex psychological disorder that can significantly disrupt a person's life. Hoarding occurs when a person acquires and saves possessions that have either little or no value (or have some perceived value), and the person then has great difficulty in discarding their possessions. This usually results in clutter.
Hoarding behavior can often lead to other problems. Often associated with OCD, OCPD and depression, hoarding can affect people's lives across all levels of functioning, It is common for hoarders to have interpersonal difficulties, family tension, poor self-esteem, poor social skills, weak decision-making skills, occupational issues, and even legal issues. In addition, there are physical risks, such as falls and fires within the home environment.
The following are some common characteristics within compulsive hoarding:
Saving or collecting continues beyond what is needed or of use.
Avoiding throwing possessions away, or experience high levels of anxiety when discarding items.
Having significant clutter at home, often to the point where pathways need to be made to walk around.
Functional spaces are lost due to clutter. For example, can not sit on chairs or use tabletops because possessions occupy those areas. Socializing is curtailed or eliminated.
Value of uniqueness is attached to items that others do not find valuable, such as papers, containers and food items.
Strong emotional connections are formed to the extent that and individual feels a sense of safety or comfort.
Feeling suspicious of other people touching possessions (or throwing them away).
Feeling overwhelmed and/or embarrassed by possessions.
Others perceive belongings as bothersome and/or dangerous.
Although excessive savings and collecting may become overwhelming, appropriate interventions are available. At the Bio-Behavioral Institute, our treatment plan for hoarding is based on many years of experience and research. The approach is cognitive-behavioral in nature in which patients are taught to develop an organizational plan. The patient and therapist work jointly on such skills as sorting items, applying decision making strategies and utilizing cognitive techniques to deal with attachment and emotional connections to one's belongings. Likewise, patient and therapist focus on reducing the acquisition of new possessions. When appropriate, psychopharmacological interventions are also introduced to address symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Treatment Alternatives In Gender Identity Disorder
I wrote the following to her:
Dear Chriss,
I love what you wrote about alternate treatments for GID.
I have thought about how GID was simmar to OCD. We certianly are obsessed! I took Prozac for a while after my divorce to try to get more motivated. It did not help. I was not looking at my how it effected my need to crossdress.
I saw a woman on Oprah that had "OCD with hording." She saved everything and lived in total chaos. It looked just like me! LOL
Combining all that with my GID, and I am a mess. At least I have a good job.
I want to reread your TS section. I am afraid I read it a bit too fast.
Thanks for writing this!

Oral sex at Redbook Magazine
sex question
I dread giving my guy oral sex because he takes too long to finish. Any tips to speed things along?
"Men can take a long time to climax if your moves aren't consistent as they're nearing the Big O," says certified sex educator Lou Paget, author of Hot Mamas. But by mastering one simple move, you can ensure a speedy finish. First, kneel with a pillow under your knees, or stretch out on your side, says Paget.
Then put your mouth on just the top inch and a half of him, and use your hand to cover the area below your mouth; this way your hand does most of the work. Keep alternating the speed of your mouth and hand until you feel he's close, then apply consistent pressure and constant rapid motion until he reaches his peak.
He'll finish sooner, and you'll still have energy to reach your peak.

Joke: Toilet Tissue & Bust Size
Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror, complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small.
Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he Uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion: "If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between your breasts for a few seconds."
Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.
"How long will this take?" I ask.
"They will grow larger over a period of years," he replies.
I stop. "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?"
Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your butt, didn't it?
He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy, may even walk again.
Stupid, stupid man.
I added a favicon to my web site.
I cropped and made an icon in ThumbsPlus* and uploaded it. Then put this
line in the code of my web sites header.
I put the code in this post's code too, but it seems not to be working
here. Oh well.
( Blogger took that code out darn. Let's trick them.)
LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.geocities.com/vickiecd/favicon.ico"
( Add a <> to the beginning and end of the above line. )
* (My favorite image viewing, converting and orginizing software.
I use it every day.)
I posted my picture at the Dove "Campaign for Real Beauty" web site.
Who is that guy? "lesleyw" I did a Google search but did not find him.

Question about transsexuality.org
They were for the the site transsexuality.org. It is gone! I was going there to redo the COGIATI Test score. It had been way too many years. It is not considered a scientific test, but it is fun and probably at least partially correct.
I Googled the test name and found a someone had a site where you could print out the COGIATI Test and take it on paper. I still have not done that yet.

I was looking at the ringo pictures of a friend and saw I could invite people to view my pictures. So I clicked on the Yahoo! link and gave then my yahoo ID and password and it downloaded all my contacts and sent out 540 emails to all my contacts. LOL
The almost immediately 174 bounced back. You should see how Yahoo! Messenger notifies you when 60 or 70 emails are returned at one time. I wish I had taken a screen shot. The little notification at the bottom stacked up and off the top. It was great! But lots of folks did respond. And I heard form lots of people that I had forgotten all about.
I wished that the letter had said, it was a way to see my pictures like flickr. Oh well. It asked but did not demand a fair amount of personal information, which did upset some.
28 people did sign up. Thanks all of you!
Everyone Has Had More Sex Than Me!
This is the cutest and funniest video
I have seen in a long time. I love it!!
Everyone Has Had More Sex Than Me !
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Teenagers naked,
Couple in threes
Grandparents swing from the ceiling.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Corporate chambers and office amore.
Shenanigans outdoor and in.
Resist and then later your find out there's more
Regret in not doing the sin.
Our lives have to die
Of that there's no help
My favourite way to end them
Is the orb-weaver spider's whose pedipalp
Enters the female pudendum.
Then dies on the spot
His corpse there still stuck,
Left for his rivals to curse at.
He would rather die than not get to f^ck
Personally I reckon it's worth it.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does everybody else get that feeling?
Does everyone think...
I found the the words at this site.

Quick ways to turn me off (my bitch meter guide)...
I got this from Dana's (http://danatgirl666.blogspot.com) MySpace Blog. I could not agree more.
You will be ignored and the target of various hexes and curses for any of the following offenses:
- send me a message containing any of the following phrases: "ur sexy" "hey babe" "you top or bottom?" "I travel and will be in your area soon" or "why do you have the sign of satan in your email address?"
- say that George Bush is a genius, or is honest
- ask me to send you naughty pics
- send me close-up pics of your penis
- ask me where I live -please read my freakin profile and then look at a goddamn map!
- say you like any of the following shows for any reason other than as fodder for ridicule and scorn: "Fox News" "American Idol" "Wife Swap" "JAG" "Saturday Night Live" (at least ones since Eddie Murphy left) or "Seventh Heaven"
Got it punks? Carry on...
