So, the Packers lost today. 34-30, Bengals. Boo. So it seems like maybe bad time to bring up the words of Saint Lombardi, who said, "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing." Oops. Winning is the only thing. I wonder if you can resonate, if not in football, then in other realms of life. I wonder if you can resonate with the great Jackie Robinson, who said, "It kills me to lose...I can't stand losing. The way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first." All I ever wanted to do was finish first.
Winning - or 'not losing' - is a drive that shapes most of our lives. So, given that winning is a drive that shapes most of our lives, what happens when the unthinkable does happen? What happens when you lose? Not just generally - what goes on inside you? Maybe you've never lost? But assuming you have, even once, how did you make sense of yourself in that moment? How is that feeling different from the way you felt about yourself before you lost, when you thought you still had a chance to win? What changes?
Fear of losing can sure suck the life out of winning. You students especially know the pressures that come with sky's-the-limit expectations. Let me ask you: have you ever found yourself making choices that ran opposite to all you knew about goodness, God, yourself, and the world, simply because it might mean the difference between winning and losing, and losing was not an option? I think of the sports world again and PEDs and blood doping and cycling, and those rare athletes who get caught, and the rarer athletes who are glad to get caught, because it ends, once and for all, the win-at-all-costs charade and gives back to the individuals the permission to return to what was most important in life, in the first place. Sometimes losing can save your life.
Jesus tells a story tonight about a man who played the game and lost. Specifically, this man lost his job. In the words of one not-quite theologian, "You're fired." A couple of days to wrap up business and turn in his keys and his fob for the company car. And we get it. Even students years away from hitting the job market sweat out the prospect of joblessness. At least the english and philosophy majors do. So on the one hand, we can imagine the rich man's dread. What does he tell his wife? Where does he go from here? We can empathize with the economic and emotional pressures - the loss of control - this guy is feeling.
On the other hand, despite our attempts at empathy, we are still Americans - living in the richest, most powerful, arguably most violent, and influential nation in the history of the world. What do we know about losing really? About powerlessness? And more than that, we are Episcopalians! Did you know that 27% of American presidents have been Episcopalians? Easily the most popular denomination among those who have called the Oval Office home. Next closet is the Presbyterians more than 9 points back, at 18%. That's power, baby!
So the rich man muses, `What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me?,' and Episcopalian Americans especially find ourselves arrived at a quandary. We cannot imagine losing anything. At the same time, we have more stuff not to lose than maybe anyone else in the history of the world. The having and guarding - to keep us from losing what no one else has ever had to this extent - that part, we get. The losing itself, not so much.
So let me name an elephant in the room with respect to ourselves and our gospel: Christianity (not just Episcopalians) is in the process of losing her position. Long gone are the days when you could expect the school programs to leave Wednesday nights open for youth group meetings at the local church. Heck, Sunday morning is not a given anymore. Used to be being a Christian made you respectable. Gave you clout. I walk the streets in Madison, wearing my collar, fighting looks that tell me most people think, from my uniform, that I either hate them or am not safe to have around their children. Because I both love people and am a helluva dad, these kinds of looks are hard to brush off. But right or wrong, that's the starting point for a lot of people these days.
It's the world we call post-Christian. And it's dishonest to say we lost out-right, because much of the post-Christian world stands on the foundations laid by Christians. And it's not a bad thing, necessarily. Not good, maybe, but not bad, either. It doesn't mean it's not possible to be a Christian anymore. It does mean that when one looks at the life of Jesus, and takes seriously the shape of the life that led to the cross, it is not at all clear that Christians should ever have needed the kinds of power we historically associated with Christianity in order to be faithful followers of Jesus in the first place.
So the rich man's question is there for us: "What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me?" And maybe it's God taking the position away; maybe the master taking the position away is one of the many idols we've confused with Jesus. In any event, living the life of faith in your lifetime will not look like the Episcopal Church, circa 1952. And I hope this is not news for you.
To be sure, in this post-Christian world, you can still live the life of faith; can still continue in the apostle's teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers. Only, you may find a day when doing so will not afford you 501c3 tax-exempt status. That's okay. Jesus understands.
Because there are times when losing can mean ending the charade and receiving permission to return to what was most important in the first place. Sometimes losing can save your life. If the Church is losing position, I hope losing will mean rediscovering this kind of permission. Even the permission to fail. If anyone should understand permission to fail, it's Christians. Christians who know that death has been defeated, and with it the need to win our lives. No more posturing over-against or harboring hopes of defeating the others. Just the good stuff. Nothing to lose. Discovering a way of being that needs a Savior.
So the man formerly-known-as-rich loses. And his first instinct is to make friends with the boss' money. He cooks the books. Cuts some deals. Clearly, his is a self-serving generosity. He's hoping to score a backyard bungalow somewhere after he loses all he has. For this reason, some theologians and preachers write-off Jesus' endorsement of the crook in this story. Even though Jesus says the crook gets commended by his boss for his shrewdness, and even though Jesus turns to his disciples, post-story, and says, "You guys do the same," some in the tradition insist that the moral of the story must be something like, "Jesus loves the rich man in spite of his thievery." It follows from this interpretation that Jesus can't have meant what he said in the end (when he told his disciples to do the same thing), but that perhaps he was being sarcastic.
But let me throw one alternative out there. What if Jesus did mean what he said? (Crazy, right?) What if coming to grips with losing - what if surrendering our attempts to win our lives apart from God - is to end the charade and receive our lives back as gifts? What if ending the charade is exactly what Jesus did on the cross and in the early hours of that still-dark Easter morning? What if ending the charade is what it means to be friends with God? What if friendship with this God means a weight off our shoulders, a deep breath and long look around, and the possibility of previously impossible friendships with those around us? What if new friendships with the master's money really is the stuff of eternal homes?
It's not just a hunch, right? What we're doing now is reading this story from a half-step back, in light of the rest of Luke's gospel. It's Luke's gospel, after all, that gives us the parable of the rich fool, who thinks he can win, stores up all he has, and, on the day before he dies, has no one but himself and his stuff to talk to. It's Luke's gospel that gives us the parable of the banquet in which all the folks who should be invited to banquets - the ones in manager's positions - say no, and the host tells his servants to go out to the streets, to bring in the blind, lame, the crippled, and poor. The one's who aren't distracted with winning. In Luke's gospel, Jesus sends his followers out twice - in a kind of echo of this parable - to announce the nearness of God's Kingdom, to make friends with the master's peace. And all of this in the initial context of Jesus' first sermon in which he calls himself the Jubilee year, the year in which debts and divisions of material wealth were forgiven, thereby ending every illusion that the powers by which we separate ourselves from one another are anything other than the sin Christ defeats on the cross. Over and over again in Luke's gospel, we hear it: the theme of friendships made possible by the God who, in Jesus, against all odds, befriends us.
Friends of God and one another. Love of God and love of neighbor. This is the beating heart of the Gospel and of the New Jerusalem.
So go be a loser. The sooner the better. Make friends for yourselves, as if those friendships mean more to God than anything. Make your generosity with others an affront to this world and a witness to the disarmingly unguarded love of Jesus.

NSW police have allegedly been threatened with a knife and assaulted by a man who fled the scene of a home invasion in the state's Hunter region.
The 29-year-old allegedly broke into a Belmont home late on Sunday morning and confronted a teenage resident before fleeing.
The 18-year-old resident then gave chase on a pushbike and attempted to stop the intruder, but allegedly had his bike stolen.
The man later surrendered the weapon only after being challenged by police from the Marine Area Command who were in the area.
He was arrested after a short foot pursuit and police also accused him of "violently lashing out" while he was being taken into custody.
The man was charged with a string of offences including aggravated break and enter, using an offensive weapon and assaulting police.
He is expected to appear in Newcastle Local Court on Monday.

It will help both in a few ways. For one thing, if the base vocabulary is about a thousand words, even fifty words is something. But I think you'll find that the average Japanese or Chinese can do better than fifty words.
On the other hand, just in case everyone in the world does not immediately adopt the proposed auxlang--or until they do--it will provide mnemonics for some common English words and help them in that way.

I am trying very hard not to question your literacy here. I already said that the proposed auxlang would not copy English grammar; plurals and tenses would be optional, though they would presumably look like those in English.

I wouldn't be copying Japanese phonology, though I would like to be close to it. For example, as in Sasxsek, I would have the l/r distinction but maintain complementary distribution. Of course, when I specified that an example I gave was a spur-of-the-moment invention, Risto still pretended that it was a serious proposal, so even stating intentions isn't enough with some people.

The Ultimate new age shag
***Read below how I created this super chic look!
The Layers
My beautiful client came in looking for a change today. She was feeling drab and in need of getting her edge back! For many years, her hair was very short and bleached completely blonde from roots to ends. She had been growing it out for many months and as a result of the old bleach and tone, her ends were feeling dry and lifeless. We opted to chop 2 inches off the length and give her these super chic, tousled layers that encouraged texture and movement.
The Styling
We used Monat smoothing shampoo and conditioner to keep the frizz to a min, and used Monat's split end mender as well as the leave in conditioner.
Blowdried with a flat brush, and used a 1 in curling iron barrel to create these soft waves.
Tip: when curling, leave the ends out to create more of a beach wave.
The Fringe
We cut a fringe to enhance her deep set eyes and to encourage to brow bone sand cheek bones to pop! A fringe (bangs) can add a focal point, a point of interest, even a bit of drama.

A Thrifted Hammock & Great Summer Reads
Thrifted Summer Reads in a Lazy Summer Hammock
School just got out and we have officially kicked off summer and life is good! Although we are not exactly ready to hit the books quite yet, we know those relaxing summer days curled up with a great summer read (or two) await us soon. While shopping for our favorite denim finds at Thrift Town, we decided to pop over to the book section to see if we could find any interesting novels or alluring classics. Of course, Thrift Town delivered with an amazing selection of intriguing books. Books $.99-$2.99. In fact, we found so many books, we ended up buying some straw beach bags ($2.99 each) to help us lug around our somewhat overwhelming book collection!
We even found an awesome hammock (exciting!), a comfy, quilted blanked (perfect for the beach or the park) and a cute Hawaiian pillow to add a little 'vacation' to our reading escapades. Blanket was $12.99, hammock was $19.99 and vacation pillow was $2.99
How fun would it be to find this rare find at Thrift Town? Ya never know ~

WikiLeaks has released hundreds of documents from the US embassy in Sana'a, Yemen, revealing details of America's multi-million dollar military support for the government of the volatile country.
The 'Yemen Files' consist of more than 500 documents, dating between 2009 and March 2015, covering both Hillary Clinton's term as Secretary of State and the first two years of John Kerry's term.
A Department of Defense powerpoint presentation dated August 2010, which is revealed in the dump, lays out a detailed plan for equipping the Yemeni government with arms through the US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program and other "security assistance programs".
Several slides warn against becoming trapped in an expensive cycle where the Yemeni government keep buying and receiving "shiny new toys", leading to mounting costs for the US.
The expense of buying these "shiny new toys" is one thing, but that initial outlay is then followed by increasing expenses on the training, maintenance and upgrades required to use them.
The goals outlined in the document were to make Yemen "a stable state where violent extremists cannot operate" and "to limit the regional impacts of terrorism, trafficking and piracy."
The estimated total cost of the weapons to be supplied to the Yemeni government is $147 million. Some $99 million of that was earmarked for a "counterterrorism aviation support" package, $41 million was for the Yemeni Navy for "operations support and capacity building" and a further $7 million allocated for a "counterterrorism direct action force support" package.
The packages include a number of aircraft, patrol boats, weapons and support as well as on-site US training and assistance teams and even two English-language labs.
The document repeatedly notes the key risk of supplying Yemen with weapons is that the arms could potentially be used "for other purposes counter to US interests," such as against Houthi rebels in northern Yemen, or secessionists in the south of the country.
It notes that "given the state of the Yemen economy" almost all of the money spent bolstering the Yemeni military is given in non-repayable loans from US government funds.
The documents says that between 2002 and 2008, the US gave the Yemeni government over $105m worth of weapons such as military trucks, machine guns, ammunition, armored personnel carriers and boats through non-repayable grants and donations.
The presentation discusses the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program which sends 20-25 Yemeni military students to various military schools in the US. The program is funded to the tune of about $1 million per year and is considered a very effective return on investment "for advancing US diplomatic or policy goals".
In a statement accompanying Friday's release of documents, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said: "The war in Yemen has produced 3.15 million internally displaced persons. Although the United States government has provided most of the bombs and is deeply involved in the conduct of the war itself, reportage on the war in English is conspicuously rare."
'Shiny new toys': WikiLeaks reveals US plan to give $147mn in military hardware to Yemen 25 Nov, 2016
Yemen is of significant strategic interest as Yemen controls a narrow choke-point to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal through which 11% of the world's petroleum passes each day. In addition, Yemen borders Saudi Arabia (to the north) and Oman (to the east) and has access to the Arabian Sea, through which another 20% of the world's petroleum passes from the Strait of Hormuz (including the oil of Saudi Arabia and Iran). Saudi Arabia seeks to control a port in Yemen to avoid the potential constriction of its oil shipments by Iran along the Strait of Hormuz or by countries which can control its other oil shipment path along the Red Sea.
The Yemen Files offer documentary evidence of the US arming, training and funding of Yemeni forces in the years building up to the war. The documents reveal, among other things, procurement of many different weapon types: aircraft, vessels, vehicles, proposals for maritime border security control and Yemeni procurement of US biometric systems.
A US presence remained in the country until February 2015, when the US closed its embassy due to the continuing unrest between different factions in the country. The war broke out a month later.

ARBOGA8T WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreseeing ji steady rise in- the popularity of national parks, the House Appropriations Committee today voted a sharp increase in funds to improve park facilities. Reporting its Version of the annual Interior Department appropriation bill scheduled for a House vote next week, the committee recommended spending- 15 million dollars for construction of physical facilities in national parks. President Eisenhower had requested only $5,200,000 for this purpose in his original budget. He added another $8,350,000 to that In a special request Feb. 2, saying the money was needed to start a 10-year program of improvements. More Visitors Tha committee, approving more even than Eisenhower's enlarged request, cited'an increase of about two million persons annually in the number of visitors to the parkc, with 54 million people expected to visit them next year. Continuing improvements in the highway system, plus added leisure hours for the public generally, the committee said, can be expected' to place heavier burdens on the park system. The committee also approved an increase of $470.000 in funds for the Forest Service to step up the program for sanitation and care of public campgrounds. The park and forest funds were included in a bill appropriating «415,9fi8,200 to finance the Interior Department and related agencies for the fiscal year starting July 1. From Land Leases The committee noted that the agencies covered by the bill will take in during the coming yeai an estimated $390,-385,000 in revenue, of Which $243,018,000 will go into the Treasury's general fund. Much of this income is from leasing of land andi rninerals,. - :•'• Largest allotment in the bill was $85,590,000 for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The bureau of Mines was allotted $21,697,300, a cut of two million dollars. The National Pork Serv would get $67,688,000.

When the storm center moved into Tennessee at 2 o'clock this morning, there had been no other reports of severe weather damage. • At Little Rock, the U. S. Weath. er Bureau said Morrilton had reported some hail and heavy rain shortly before 1 a.m. A lightning bolt struck a power transformer at Monticello, knocking out electric service to that city for an hour and a half. Power also was cut off at Warren and Star City. For five hours, however, the possibility of tornadoes hung over virtually all of south Arkansas. High winds destroyed a vacant frame building at the Sugar Hill community, six miles north of Texarkana on U. S. Highway 71, where the storm first enterqd the state. A few thousand yards away, the wind also blew the roofs off uvo barns at the farm of Ben Mizzell, and smashed windows in the fanner's home. Mizzell's flock of-40 chickens disappeared with the storm.

Opposing this in blistering terms five senators said a combinatioi of the soil bank . and high prlc supports "directs the farmer to gc in opposite directions." The soi bank proposal calls for subsidj payments to farmers who voiun tartly reduce plantings of crop; now in surplus. The committee bill would re quire the government to supporl prices of wheat, cotton, corn, rice and peanuts—classified as "basic crops"—at 90 per cent of parity The Senate committee bill would require also that dairy products be supported at 80 per cent of parity Under present law, the minimum level is 75 ner cent.

Of the proposed return to high, rigid price supports, they said: "Going back to 90 per cent rigid price supports regardless of how :iigh surpluses pile up, is like eating more green apples to cure a stomach ache caused by eating green apples ..." Separate views were filed by Sens. Eastland (D-Miss). Schoeppel (R-Kan) and Hickenlooper. Schoeppel, from the wheat producing state of Kansas, said he agreed with most of the minority comments but might favor higher price supports for wheat. Hickenlooper protested that corn farmers would be unable to take part in the proposed soil bank. He renewed proposals for corn pro ducer participation which were rejected by the Agriculture Committee. Eastland took a separate shot ai high rigid supports.

ARROWSMITH THOMASVILLE, Ga, (AP) — President Eisenhower may play a few holes of golf today for the first time since Sept. 23, the day before his heart attack. -The word from his vacation*— Ike Takes Hand In Ordering Cancellation WASHINGTON (AP) — With the White House taking a hand, the State Department today canceled a shipment of 18 American light tanks destined for Saudi Arabia. It was not 'immediately clear whether the decision would quiet headquarters at Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey's plantation here was that Eisenhower hoped to get out to the Glen Arven country club, weather permitting. In six hours of hunting yesterday, he bagged the daily limii of 12 quail. He has been doing a bit of putting and practicing with his approach irons from time to time since Nov. 12 but hasn't been on a golf course. On Tuesday his doctors gave him a glowing report on his recovery progress and announced he probably would be able to play a few holes of golf during, this vacation. Hunted Four Hours Last,, fall Dr. Paul Dudley White, Boston heart specialist, said golf had nothing to do with Eisenhower's illness. He said the exercise at golf actually may have delayed the heart attack. The general impression here is that the President quite likely will decide in the next few days, if he hasn't done so already, whether to bid for a second term. He has indicated he will announce his decision about March 1. The President hunted for four hours yesterday morning, had lunch, got in the midday rest prescribed by his physicians, then hunted for three more hours. Walked Some He spent much of his time in the fields riding aboard a green- wheeled hunting roadster drawn by two white mules. He climbed down and did a bit of walking only when the bird dogs sniffed out a covey of quail. The President and Mrs. Eisen' hower and Humphrey and his wife had dinner at the plantation ast night with three old friends— William E. Robinson of New York, president of the Coca Cola Co., and John Hay (Jock) Whitney. New York financier, and his vlfe. The four men played bridge for a while after dinner.

Senate's Campaign Gifts Probers To Get First Evidence WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lehman (D-NY) said today he will turn over to the Senate Elections subcommittee evidence of what he called "questionable pressure tactics" in behalf of the natural gas bill by a New York state machinery manufacturer. This was the first announced* response to invitations from Senate investigators for evidence of| efforts to influence congressional! action on, the bill to exempt nat- ! ural gas producers from direct federal regulation. Lehman opposed the measure, which the Senate passed last week 53-38. Pressure on Employes Lehman diet not identify the company he referred to, nor did he say its actions \vere "improper." But he said it had put "pressure on its- empl.ojes" to .,mail him postcards urging him to voti for the bill. He said the amoun of pressure used would need to be determined by investigation. Chairman Gore (EKTenn) anc mittee members, Senators Mans field (D-Mont) and Curtis (R. Neb), issued a joint statemenl yesterday announcing an inquiry they said Will go far beyond the natural gas bill fight. To Explore Fully They said they intended to explore fully reports "that selfish Russians Free U.S. Soldier Georgia Youth Held In East German Prison Four Years interests may have sought, may seek, by improper use of financial resources under their control" to influence the elections of members of Congress and leg -islative proposals.

Sparks had escaped with two other privates Dec. 4, 1951, from a West Berlin guardhouse. He was being held to face charges of being AWOL, stealing money and assaulting a German cab driver. Three days after the escape, East German Communist authorities said the trio had sought political asylum. But Austrian prisoners returning from Russian labor camps- last June said they had seen Sparks in a Soviet camp. They said he told them the Soviets arrested him in Berlin in 1951 . Sparks' mother Mrs. J. W Gladin lives at Tennille. One Court- Martialed The two men who escaped to the East with Sparks were Ray B. Schultz of Batavia, N.Y., and Charles J. Scott, Decatur, 111. Schultz returned from East Germany in June 1952. He was court-martin led, given a dishonorable discharge and sentenced to five years in prison. Scott has not been heard from since his flight. An Army spokesman said Sparks would remain In confinement "pending disposition of his case." When Schultz returned to West Berlin he said he and his two companions had signed defection statements on the promise of a Soviet officer that they would be released.

Nor was the reaction of Saudi Arabia predictable. At any rate, the reversal had the effect of blocking the dispatch of the tanks to the Middle East, where their arrival might have stirred new excitement and perhaps trouble in the Israeli-Arab tinderbox. Denunciations Announcement late yesterday that the tanks were to be shipped had brought denunciations from a number of Democrats in the Senate and from the Israeli Embassy the cry: "Utterly beyond our comprehension." News of the impending shipment was startling because the State Department, in delaying action on Israel's request to buy 50 million dollars worth of American arms for the past several months, has pleaded it wants to avoid an arms race in the Middle East. Further, It has said the sale of Communist arms to Egypt tended to upset the power balance in that. troubled area. Any shipment of American weapons to an Arab country wouid have given Russia a tailor- made argument that it 1 was all right for the Beds to supply arms to the Arabs since the United States was doing the same thing. Obviously with these considerations in mind,, .the: State,,.Depart- merit backtracked quickly. Shortly after 'midnight it announced: "All export permits of arms to the Middle East are being temporarily suspended pending further examination." In response to a query, Press Officer Lincoln White said he knew of no such pending permit except .that covering the tanks scheduled for shipment on the S3 James Monroe for Damman, Saudi Arabia. Word From Ike At about the same time, White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty called in newsmen covering President Eisenhower's vacation retreat at Thomasville, Ga. "The President understands that the Department of State is suspending export licenses to that area," Hagerty said, adding that by "that area" he meant Saudi Arabia. He said in response to a question that in saying Eisenhower "understands" the action was being taken, he meant suspension was being ordered. Hagerty had said earlier he was trying without success to get in touch with Secretary of State Dulles, who is vacationing in the Bahamas. Whether he did reach Dulles or See TANKS on Page 12 BULLETIN HOT SPRINGS, Ark. W» — Aty. Gen, Tom Gentry today asked for padlocking of the swank Tower Club here.

The* spokesman indicated also that some government forces were still holding out in . Iquitos region. He said naval forces on the Amazon, which have a base just south of Iquitos, are "not participating in the subversive movement and are remain- Ing loyal to the government."

The argument from people that would rather put on layers to shake off the cold, as opposed to taking off layers to fight the heat is mute to me. It doesn't seem to matter how much I have on during the winter I am never completely warm. I would rather be too hot than too cold!!

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
A webcam with poor performance could be caused by computer resources being overloaded. There are a few places to start the diagnosis.ŗ
I have Microsoft LifeCam Cinema HD web cam. When I use it a message appears saying, "Poor performance. Change resolution." I'm now down to the 320 x 240, but the message still appears. What's wrong? Is it my computer?
In this excerpt from Answercast #73, I look at a webcam that is stalling a computer, even though the webcam is set at a very low resolution.
Well, it's hard to say exactly what's wrong.
Unfortunately, the error message you've given me is kind of a shorthand of the error message; the full error message may in fact include some more specific details that would have been nice to see.
But in general, when you're making the resolution smaller, you are reducing the amount of data that has to be sent by the webcam to your computer. That could be a function of many, many different things.
It could be that there are too many other devices on the USB port that you're using.
In other words, the USB port has a certain amount of data that it can handle. All of the devices that are connected to USB kind of, sort of share that. That means that the webcam may be competing with other devices which are trying to send in data to your computer.
It's rare. Most people are just using things, like a keyboard and mouse, which actually send very low volumes of data. But it's something to be aware of.
More likely is that your computer is too busy: that your computer is running too much other software to keep up with the data string that's coming in from the LifeCam.
Unfortunately, that's a really difficult one to diagnose.
What I would suggest you do is grab a copy of Process Explorer. I have an article called, "What's hogging all the CPU?" That article will walk you through downloading, installing Process Explorer, and then using it to find out what programs are running on your machine - and which ones are using the most of its resources.
This is typically a "resource intensive" kind of thing. It's possible that it's a disk thing: it could be a "disk activity" kind of thing that's slowing down your machine.
In general, it is possible that your machine is slow; that it is too busy doing other things to keep up with a LifeCam.
I'd expect 320 x 240 to be handled by most current computers without too much of a problem. That is why I actually point the figure at potentially too much other software running on your machine - stealing resources and basically getting in the way of the LifeCam doing it's thing.
The very first thing I would do is start with Process Explorer and see
what else is running on that machine and potentially slowing it down.

I have the same Camera and I occasionally get that message and I agree with Leo's statement about other programs using your machine's resources while trying to use the Camera. One of the biggest hogs I find is when my machine is doing automatic scheduled backups of my machine.

Hiking Umatilla Rock Trail
A Journey Into Washington's Geological History
An early morning hike is never a bad idea. You get to watch the sunrise while enjoying the cooler part of a summer day. On a recent trip to eastern Washington, beating the heat was a must for us. We explored and hiked around, up and over Umatilla Rock and Dry Falls. This easy hike provides breathtaking views of what was once the world's largest waterfall.
History of Umatilla Rock, Dry Falls, and Grand Coulee
Umatilla Rock is situated downstream of what is now known as Dry Falls. The falls were 400-feet tall and estimated to be roughly five times the width of Niagara Falls, with a flow rate ten times that of all rivers in the world combined. These falls, which stopped flowing about 10,000 years ago, remain one of North America's natural wonders.
Together, Dry Falls and Umatilla Rock are located in the central area of Grand Coulee, an ancient river bed once home to Ice Age Floods. The coulee runs some 60-miles from Coulee Dam south to Soap Lake. Grand Coulee was added to the National Natural Landmarks register in 1965, making it one of only 18 such sites in the state of Washington.
Today, the area is home to many species of wildlife, numerous lakes, and countless recreational opportunities. Steamboat Rock State Park and Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park are located in the area, each providing activities such as camping, hiking, watersports, and more. Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park is home to Umatilla Rock, and was our campsite for two nights.
If you're still curious about the geological story of this area, like we were, have a look at The Channeled Scablands from the website The Seven Wonders of Washington State.
Hiking Umatilla Rock Trail
Heading to eastern Washington in the middle of the summer. Were we crazy? No.
We've done this in the past without ever being let down. Previous visits to Bridgeport State Park, Lake Lenore Caves, and Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park have treated us well. What grabbed our attention this time around was a recent Twitter photo from Essex eXplorers at Blythe Lake, near Potholes State Park - by the way, if you're into citizen-science, make sure to check out Essex Media & Explorations. The image reminded us that eastern Washington is a great part of the state to visit and that we should get back out that way. We've been to Potholes State Park twice, and it's a fantastic park, but heading east this time we would pick a new location we've yet to explore.
We arrived at Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park around sunset, Friday evening. The temperature was in the upper 90s, maybe even reaching 100+ that day. It was sweltering out. We quickly set up our campsite, explored the park a bit, then attempted to sleep for the night.
It was unbearably warm. The heat made for a fitful night in our tent, dozing briefly only to awaken because it was just too hot. Even though we didn't have to use the restroom each time we awoke, we still walked to it, knowing that the short stroll would provide a small bit of comfort.
We woke again at 4:30am, and the temperature had finally dropped a few degrees. At that point, we decided to just get up and prepare for our hike. Waiting any longer was just going to make the day worse. We were ready to go by 5:00am. We had the option of driving to the trailhead but opted to walk there. This added about a mile to the hike each way. Before we set out, we were greeted by a few deer.
As we set out, the night was already fading, and the sky was beginning to turn blue with clouds scattered about. By the time we reached the trailhead, the sun was peeking over the cliffs in the distance. We made a smart choice by starting our hike early. The sky was streaked with pinks, oranges, and yellows of a lovely dawn. Sunrise was here, and it looked fantastic.
The route we chose had us facing the sun on this early part of the day while the temperatures were still tolerable. Rocky and dry, the grasses were mostly straw colored along our path. Swatches of green vegetation stood out, marking low lying areas that were able to hold any rains that the region might receive. Clusters of rocks and large boulders were scattered about and provided shade and shelter for the creatures adapted to this climate. There had been recent rains as was evidenced by the numerous flower blossoms that poignantly accented this otherwise parched landscape.
The trail branched several times and circled the entire length of Umatilla Rock, we decided to take the route that led up through a notch so we could take in the views from on high. This notch likely has a name, but we decided to call it Wanderer's Notch. The trek up to this cut-through was tricky, loose sand and rock made it difficult to get traction, but we made it. Looking down toward the direction from which we had come was the valley laid out in amber, and pale green with trails clearly cut through the grass and brush. Looking down on the side that now lay before us revealed the same golden hued grasses, but faceted with vibrant green grass and blue-hued bodies of water, something resembling a golden crown be-fitted with emeralds and sapphires.
We scrambled and slid down with the tumble of rocks and sand that was our path, to find it cooler here near the water. The grasses and bushes were much taller at Dry Falls Lake and served as home to a cacophony of birdlife. There seemed to be an unusually high number of dragonflies flitting about all around us, giving this spot a storybook quality. As we made our way to drier portions of the coulee, the air was heavily scented with sage. Looking up on the ridge that bordered this valley, the Dry Falls Visitors Center stood overlooking where we now stood.
We took the path that led us around to Perch Lake, this was another watery oasis surrounded by verdant green vegetation. We crossed a dirt road then headed back toward the trailhead. The day was sufficiently hot by now, so we quickened our pace back to camp. Because of our early start, we had only seen people in vehicles, but no other hikers.
During our hike, we saw deer, quail, and turkeys. Once back at camp, we drove to the Visitors Center and took in the views from this terrific vantage point. The geological history of the area is explained in great detail here, and it is an excellent spot for photos. Though we'd had a restless night, we were newly invigorated and inspired.
Final Thoughts
Summers in eastern Washington are hot. The landscapes are vastly different than what is familiar to us on the west side of the state. These differences are what make our journeys east so enticing. We're always impressed with the abundance of wildlife that seems so counterintuitive to a place so dry and seemingly harsh, but in the words of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "...life, uh….finds a way."

Anticipatory Grief: How to Cope With the "Living Death" of Alzheimer's
Anticipatory grief is the emotional pain of losing a loved one, felt in advance of the person's death. It's a common phenomenon among those who care for the terminally ill.
It may be experienced at any time by anyone connected to someone with Alzheimer's, but it's especially common at the middle and late stages of the disease.
Why Alzheimer's caregivers are vulnerable to anticipatory grief
Good-byes are always painful, and Alzheimer's is the ultimate "long good-bye." Anticipatory grief is rampant, and perhaps inevitable, among Alzheimer's caregivers because of the slow, progressive, and incurable nature of the disease. University of Indianapolis researchers asked more than 400 caregivers the open-ended question, "What would you say is the biggest barrier you have faced as a caregiver?" The majority — more than 80 percent — referred to the loss of the person they used to know.
The friends and family of someone with dementia experience two difficult psychological states at once:
- Anticipatory grief, or coping with the very real feelings of loss for someone who is still alive
- Ambiguous loss, or interacting with someone who's not fully present socially or psychologically
That's a tough mix. Little wonder that more than a quarter of all dementia caregivers suffer from depression. They're in mourning even as they're still doing the hard work of taking care of someone with a difficult disease. Depressed caregivers, more than other depressed people, tend to display symptoms that center on sadness, lack of hope, and guilt.
What you can do when anticipatory grief strikes
- Know that your feelings are normal. It can help simply to know that anticipatory grief exists. Just because the person you're caring for still lives doesn't mean you don't get to show dark emotions. There's no need to feel guilty for experiencing these difficult feelings. Nor should you hold them in.
- Understand that it's "real" grief. A 2001 study in The Gerontologist deemed anticipatory grief equivalent in intensity and breadth to the response to death. The odd silver lining: anticipatory grief prepares us for the end. It's a long, slow, painful warm-up, but it's a warm-up, nonetheless.
- Don't try to put a gloss on dementia care. Many caregivers wax poetic about those unexpected "I love yous" or sudden bursts of clarity and gratitude. They're fulfilling and should be embraced. But the rest of the time — well, there's the rest of the time. Don't beat yourself up if you struggle with some aspects of caregiving.
- Be nice to yourself. Grief (anticipatory or otherwise) puts you at risk for depression. Depression puts you at risk for dementia yourself. How to end this vicious cycle? Start small — enlist a regular volunteer or paid aide to take over while you do something positive for your own health, such as working out.
- Rely on a support network for an emotional outlet Long-term studies have found that Alzheimer's caregivers who receive counseling and support, formal or informal, have better health and a lower incidence of depression. You may feel the need to put on a "brave face" in front of the sick person all the time, when expressing your conflicting feelings is what would serve you better. A support network lets you do this. Venting on paper — writing about your feelings — can help during those moments when you can't see someone face to face.

The biased Agent (Strozk) who went to the White House to talk to Flynn didn't tell him he was under investigation or tell him he should have an attorney present during their discussion. Strozk is same agent who reworded the memo in the Hillary investigation to make it sound like Hillary only exhibited poor judgement with her home server containing classified information instead of flagrant disregard for the classified system.
Investigators are supposed to investigate facts, not make them up or use one side of evidence only. If the Hillary campaign produced a false dossier that was used by the Justice Department to spy on Trump and then to discredit him after the election, that is illegal and should be prosecuted.

Spring is finally here & I am so excited to see the rest of the flowers bloom, the grass turn green, and the leaves reappear on the trees.

The Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan's death not being treated as suspicious, confirm UK police
London: Police say they are not treating the death of Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan as suspicious.
O'Riordan was found dead on Monday morning at a London hotel. Police initially called the death "unexplained," but said on Tuesday that nothing suspicious had been found. The case is being passed to a coroner to determine the cause of death.
O'Riordan had suffered mental and physical health problems over the years. The Cranberries cut short a world tour in 2017 because of the singer's back problems.
The 46-year-old Irish singer was in London to record vocals for a cover of The Cranberries' hit 'Zombie' by Los Angeles rock band Bad Wolves.
Dan Waite of music label Eleven Seven said O'Riordan left him a voice message early Monday saying she was looking forward to the recording. He said "she sounded full of life, was joking and excited to see me and my wife this week."
"The news of her passing is devastating and my thoughts are with Don, her ex-husband, her children, and her mother," Waite said.
The Cranberries formed in Limerick at the end of the 1980s and had international hits in the 90s with songs including Dream, Linger and Zombie.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said that "for anyone who grew up in Ireland in the 1990s, Dolores O'Riordan was the voice of a generation."
