Conservation Groups File Lawsuit to Protect National Parks From Harmful Off-Road Vehicle Use: Survey of Parks Reveals Extensive Damage from Off-Road Vehicles, Lack of Funding for Enforcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Bluewater Network, a division of Friends of the Earth; the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA); and Wildlands CPR today filed a lawsuit against the National Park Service and theDepartment of Interior in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., alleging that those agencies have failed in numerous ways to protect the National Park System against the extensive damage caused by all-terrain vehicles and other off-road vehicles in America's national parks.
The plaintiffs met with the Park Service in July 2004 and raised concerns about off-road vehicle damage in the national parks. The agency responded by conducting an internal survey of all national park sites. The 256 responses available to the plaintiffs demonstrate that off-road vehicles are causing widespread damage in America's national parks.
"Despite evidence of damage, the leadership of the National Park Service is simply proposing more studies of the problems caused by off-road vehicles in some parts of the National Park System and has refused to take any action elsewhere," said Carl Schneebeck, public lands campaign director for Bluewater Network and a former Park Service ranger.
Park managers reported that off-road vehicle use is harming archaeological sites at the Grand Canyon; tearing up hiking/horseback trails at Olympic National Park; crushing animal burrows in Arches and Canyonlands national parks; and facilitating fossil poaching at Badlands National Park, as well as affecting the experiences of other visitors. Park managers at the Appalachian Trail reported that damage from off-road vehicles is the trail's "most pernicious" problem.
"Because of the damage off-road vehicles can cause to the natural wonders of the parks, the law expressly requires the agency to regulate the use of off-road vehicles," said Robert Rosenbaum of Washington, D.C., law firm Arnold & Porter LLP, counsel for the plaintiffs.
In the Park Service's survey, many park managers reported having insufficient staff to monitor the impact of off-road vehicles on the parks and enforce park regulations.
"Due to lack of funding, many parks are struggling to enforce the rules on the books to protect the treasures in our parks and the safety and experiences of visitors," said NPCA President Tom Kiernan. "In the meantime, the parks protecting our national heritage are being spoiled."
Exacerbating this problem, the Department of Interior has proposed a draft revision of the parks' management policies. The draft weakens protections for parks and could lead to increased use of off-road vehicles. The public can comment on the proposed changes to the Park Service's management policies over the next few months.
"National parks were created 100 years ago as preserves for our national heritage-not as playgrounds for off-road vehicles," said Wildlands CPR Executive Director Bethanie Walder. "The existing policies to protect our parks must be upheld and enforced."
Speculation from access groups is that Friends of the Earth will seek an injuction against all off road vehicle use in National Parks.
That will be the beginning. National Forests and Seashores to follow.
That's what it's really all about.
I suppose that you and the eco-nuts will pay for the costs of increased enforcement?
Forests were meant to be accessed not locked up.
The National Forests belong to all of us. This suit, like others of its ilk, wants to limit forest visitors to only young, able-bodied, people with the free time to go on hiking trips. Disguised as an "environmental" issue, this is just a way to lock up our forests to everyone the elitists don't care for.
RS 2477 Rights-of-way
Do you enjoy hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, birding, off-road vehicle use, wildlife, mountain biking, backpacking, nature photography, horseback riding, rock hounding, climbing, or any other recreational use of the public lands?
Best Wishes.
The Blue Ribbon Coalition are good folks.
Parks, forests, seashores, whatever. The truth is there are already laws on the books against destruction of public property, vandalism, and other such offenses. The aim of most of these latter-day suits, infortunately, is simply to cut off access to everyone but hearty Birkenstockers.
This Park was created and is now administered for the benefit and enjoyment of the people...it is the property of Uncle Sam and therefore of us all."

Looks like that was a lot of fun!
Does that include humans? How about bikes? "No damage" can be construed in many ways. How about we keep the National Parks employees out? Especially if they carry matches.

Jamie Hamilton has been added to the list of injury absentees at the Metzeler Ulster Grand Prix.
The Wilson Craig Honda rider had hoped to take his place on the grid at his home race, but the young Ballyclare rider withdrew from the meeting on Wednesday.
Hamilton was involved in a heavy crash at the Skerries 100 in July and suffered injuries including a broken pelvis and cracked sternum.
The former British Superstock 600 champion made a tentative return to racing at the Armoy road races at the end of last month but Hamilton has erred on the side of caution at Dundrod as a torn muscle injury came to light.
"I was passed medically fit to race but it turns out I've a muscle at my pelvis which is torn in half," he said. "The advice I received was that it would probably get worse as the days went on if I raced this week so there was no point in racing if I wasn't going to be competitive.
"I'm gutted because this is my home race but these things happen in racing. Hopefully I'll get out next week at the Classic TT."
Manx rider Conor Cummins plus Lincolnshire's Gary Johnson were also ruled out of the Dundrod showpiece due to injury.
Cummins broke his forearm in a spill at the Southern 100 will Johnson is still recovering from injuries sustained after coming off in the Superstock race at the Isle of Man TT.

Marabou Deaths Head
I've been feeling low energy lately and that bothers me on several levels. I've always been a high energy, productive, passionate person, so feeling low energy is not my style and it worries me.
I've been frequently overly tired and am starting to think what if I have cancer or something (granted, I can sometimes be some sort of...what's the word? not "nymphomaniac" which suddenly semi-randomly spurted out of my head; not "kleptomaniac" either; probably not maniacal anything, but the word for people with a tendency to exaggerate possible health issues they might have; I don't do that all the time, BUT if I am more frequently than usual experiencing some symptom of physical discomfort, then that also seems to lead to more mental discomfort for me too).
So lately I've been thinking, "What if I have cancer?" and "What if I'm pregnant?" and then realizing that I can't even remember the last time I've been to the doctor for a regular physical not to mention a gynecological exam (and why did the word "kleptomaniac" spurt forth again, before my brain got "gynecological"?;) I can hardly remember time/timing at all, but I do know that in more recent year(s), I had so many non-regular hospital/doctor appointments, that the regular visits stopped AND my health insurance changed AND my location changed and I've never been to a doctor in my current locale, so…
My over-tiredness made me think of cancer, because I remember my ex-husband telling me about how his first wife (who suddenly died young of cancer) had early symptoms of losing her energy and feeling overly tired. My pregnancy concern is because my stomach seems to be sticking out a little more than usual and feeling a bit oddly uncomfortable too. Is it my stomach or my cervix? I am not entirely sure. Do I need gynecological testing? Who wants to give it to me? (Just kidding and teasing my own sudden frequent infiltration of the "nymphomaniac" word.)
Speaking of teasing and words, this morning I thought about how yesterday my dad was jokingly making fun of someone because he drove past their garage sale sign and they had spelled the word "sale" wrong; they had spelled it "sail'. Even though I didn't say anything about this out loud, I IMMEDIATELY thought something like, "Well what if the person who wrote that sign had a stroke and that's why there spelling is off?" I used to be an excellent speller, but now I have trouble spelling easy little words; for example, the word of that thing you take flight upon at an airline - is it spelled "plane" or "plain"? I think it's "plane" but I'm not sure; I'm never sure. In fact, editing this very blog-style piece of writing, mainly due to spelling reasons, is literally giving me a headache right now. Oftentimes when I am unsure how to spell an easy word, I just switch to a different word (often a bigger word, oddly enough), so at least I have that capability.
Back to my possible new health issues, maybe I have just not been sleeping very well. Maybe I have often been staying up too late and ought to work harder on adhering to a more consistent sleep schedule. In any case, I sure did not stay up too late last night for cripes sake.
I was at my sister's place for several hours yesterday evening (with family members, dinner etc...) and got back to my place a little after 7:00. My other sister and her family checked out my new place for a little bit and then left. I played with Sockeye for a little bit. By the time it was only a little after 8:00, I was feeling really tired. This is nothing new these days. However, despite feeling tired, I usually stay up and work on things until about 2:00 A.M. (sometimes even later), in part because getting things done takes me longer than it used to. So last night I told myself I'd have a cup of coffee and then start working on Margaret's chapbook for a while. I started drinking that cup of coffee and after just a few sips, I felt so tired that I told myself I would lie down for half an hour or so and then get into my swing of things. I'm not usually a nap taker at all, so this was already unusual for me. I took another sip of coffee and then placed my coffee next to my bed and laid down.
It wasn't even 9:00 yet when I laid down, but I ended up laying down and resting until after 11:00, STILL felt really tired after that, and so decided that instead of getting up at midnight and then maybe staying up way too late, I was just going to bed for the night. So I did. I meant to bed at 9:00 for fuck sake.
Since I went to bed at 9:00, I was not about to sleep in as late as I usually do, so I got up at about 5:30 in the morning. It was actually quite interesting to get up much earlier than usual (even though I STILL felt tired) because when I first took Sockeye out for a walk, I loved the cool almost autumnal way it felt outside.
While walking Sockeye, I saw this other little disabled creature (I can't think of its name; it's a creature that is very similar in size and shape to a mouse, but has a different kind of mouth). Unlike some people, I like mice and mousy critters. This critter was alive but lying on its back, moving around as if it couldn't get upright on its stomach. I carefully used my leg to shift it upright, but then found out that something was seriously wrong with it, because it swiftly shifted onto its back again; then I realized that it was uncomfortably twitching rather than simply stuck in an unusual position. I made a second attempt to position it upright, but no luck. The creature continued to twitch and I felt strangely sad.
A few minutes later, I took Sockeye back into our home, but then went back outside with my camera and took a few pictures of the twitching creature (only a few, thinking that if someone happened to see me doing so, that might seem rather perverted, or worse yet what if they thought I had smashed the creature and now was taking perverse photos; this is the way my weird mind works sometimes). Interestingly enough, less than a month ago, I took a substantial amount of photos of a dead baby mouse (as did my artsy photographer friend K. who was visiting me for a few days, thus I am not the only one who enjoys unusual photos), but that creature was dead not twitching and about to die.
Less than half an hour later, when I walked back out to look again, it was gone. Perhaps a bird seized it up.
As for me, despite having now been up for more than five hours (whereas I would usually just be getting up at this hour), I have not gotten much accomplished yet today, I am STILL feeling tired, and my head hurts.
P.S. Mole. (Pasta.)
New update: Today will walking Sockeye, he suddenly started rolling on the ground. He is not the type of dog with a tendency to roll around in other dog's shit, so I looked to say what on earth he was rolling upon. It happened to be a dead version of the above mole that I photographed a few days back while it was alive and twitching. Perhaps it was dropped back down to the ground by a huge death's head moth. In any case, I have now found out that my dog likes rolling around upon death rather than rolling around upon shit. No wonder he's my dog.

"Fibre is the infrastructure for the age we are living in"
No surprise from this headline that you'll find me at the FTTH council conference in Luxembourg this week. I've just heard from the morning's speakers and this statement came from Gunnar HÖkmark, member of the European Parliament. Commenting on the glimpse of the FTTH global ranking results, shown by Ana Pesovic of the FTTH council board, Gunnar told us all that whilst Europe was making progress, we could be doing a whole better. After all, with an average of 39% FTTH/B coverage across Europe, there is a huge room of improvement. He also pleaded with the audience to leave the phrase "megabits" in the past and start using "gigabits" as standard measurements.
It's my first time attending this conference so I am intrigued to see what I can learn from 2 entire days focused on FTTH discussions (I will let you know!). This morning put into perspective how Europe compares with the rest of the world in terms of coverage, and an insight into some of the key challenges which the FTTH council see in deploying even more fibre. They are calling for regulation which encourages and supports FTTH deployment, to provide a network they deem fit not just for the future, but for our current digital economy. They state that there was a whopping 5 million new FTTH/B users in 2015.
Ana used a quote "the world is going mobile, but mobile is going fixed" in reference to 5G's future dependency on fibre backhaul. Obviously in the age of 5G where many are expecting IoT, Homes, Healthcare and Automobiles (to name a few) to be reliant on a fast and consistent connection, the fixed network infrastructure will be the crucial core to this new world. With 5G goals set for as early as 2020, It will be interesting to see how big a theme that fibre plays out to be next week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Miami Hurricanes Destroy Florida A&M, Focus Now Shifts To Ohio StateSeptember 3, 2010
Both the Miami Hurricanes and Ohio State Buckeyes took care of business as expected on Thursday night. The Buckeyes and Hurricanes both easily cruised to wins vs. inferior opponents.
Now the spotlight will shift to Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 11.
It has been almost eight years since referee Terry Porter cost Miami a National Title by ruling that Glen Sharpe had interfered with Ohio State receiver Chris Gamble on a fourth-down pass in overtime.
The result of that controversial call was that Ohio State won their first National Title in over 32 years and Miami was denied their chance to win back-to-back championships and sixth since 1984.
But that was then and this is now.
Judging by their Week 1 performances both teams could be title contenders again. Ohio State, ranked No. 2 in the country, will prepare to square off with No. 13 Miami. The winner of that match will be on the inside track for a possible championship game.
Granted it's a long season, but if Miami's performance vs. Florida A&M is indicative of the talent they have this year, then the Hurricanes are going to be turning a lot of heads.
Hurricane fans would be wise to avoid saying "the U is back" until they play Ohio State, but they sure seem to be headed in that direction.
Miami showed they have a ton of offensive firepower by beating the Rattlers 45-0.
Quarterback Jacory Harris only played two quarters and still managed to rack up a 13-of-16, 216 yards, and three touchdown performance. He seemed extremely comfortable in the pocket and played really well.
One of the most encouraging signs was Jacory's ability to spread the ball around to his vast array of receiving threats. Ten Hurricane players ended up with at least one catch.
Senior Leonard Hankerson led all Hurricane pass catchers with six receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns.
Red-shirt freshman Lamar Miller showed some of the electrifying speed that has Hurricane fans excited. For the game, Miller led all rushers with 65 yards on 11 carries and one score.
The defense was dominant to say the least. Despite giving up a few third down conversions, Miami's D would not allow the Rattlers to get on the board.
The defensive line led by Olivier Vernon's three sacks and Adewale Ojomo's two combined to rack up nine sacks in the game.
The linebackers were led by Sean Spence who made several big plays and hits.
Safety Ray Ray Armstrong had the only forced turnover in the second quarter when he picked off a Rattler pass and returned it for a score.
The Hurricanes did exactly what coach Randy Shannon wanted. They prepared diligently for this game and didn't take it lightly.
Miami could have easily been in cruise control tonight and still won big. The players could've looked past a weak opponent and a game which wasn't even shown on television.
Yet the Canes came out ready to play four quarters of football.
All in all, it was what many expected, that, of course, being an easy victory. The Canes got that and managed to showcase some of their skill in the process.
More importantly they were able to get many players into the game and also rested most of their starters the entire second half.
The time has come. Nearly eight years later, Miami's players can now set their aim on an Ohio State program which all Canes fans will tell you is owed a little retribution.
Here's hoping they do get some payback come next Saturday.

2018 NBA Draft: Top Sleepers and BustsRead this article
The Viral Roundup – They Might Be Giants Edition
Did You Hear?
Odell Beckham Jr. continues to amaze. New York's star wideout caught two huge second half TDs to pull the Giants (a two point road favourite) to a 31-24 victory over Miami. The Monday night triumph marks Tom Coughlin's 170th win as an NFL head coach. Eli Manning threw four touchdowns for the G-Men while Ryan Tannehill racked up 236 yards through the air in a losing cause for Miami. The Dolphins now drop to 5-8 and New York is stuck in the NFC East's 6-7 logjam.
Did You See?
The Golden State Warriors had their massive 24 game win streak snapped on the weekend to fall to a not too shabby 24-1 win-loss record. It didn't eclipse the 71-72 Lakers run of 33 consecutive victories in the record books, but it's fair to say that the incredible run of basketball ladled out by the Golden State for that stretch was borderline unbelievable. The NBA's video wing has put together this helpful look back at the most glorious moments from Steph Curry & Co.'s streak. By the way, the Warriors are considered an 11/10 favourite on the futures board to capture the 2015-16 NBA title this summer.
Did You Know?
– Jordan Hill scored 20 points off the bench to push the four-and-a-half point favourite Pacers to a 106-90 victory over the visiting Raptors. Toronto could have used a healthy DeMarre Carroll in the lineup. The 29-year-old forward missed his fifth straight contest with a knee issue.
– The Washington Capitals played inhospitable guests at the Mike Sullivan's head coaching debut for the Pens. T.J. Oshie scored twice for the Caps and Braden Holtby was superb with 44 saves to give Washington a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh. Speaking of the Penguins, on Monday they dealt blueliner Rob Scuderi to Chicago for Trevor Daley.
– Three grand slam victories helped propel Serena Williams into the SI cover spot as Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year. The tennis superstar racked up championships at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon with only one grand slam title separating her from tying Steffi Graf's mark for racking up those major triumphs. It's the first time Sports Illustrated has crowned an individual female athlete as their Sportsperson of the Year (previously known as "Sportsman" or "Sportswoman" of the Year) since Mary Decker was named the winner in 1983.
– The Houston Texans are sorting out what the future holds for their quarterback situation and reports surface that pivot Brian Hoyer has suffered his second concussion in under a month. Hoyer suffered the injury in Houston's ugly 27-6 primetime loss to the Patriots. T.J. Yates took over the position after Hoyer's injury on Sunday and will be the starter for Sunday's crucial AFC South matchup versus Indianapolis. For their part, the Colts are uncertain if franchise QB Andrew Luck will return this year. At the moment, no line has bubbled up for this showdown.
– The arms race continues in the NL West! Fresh off World Series glory with the Kansas City Royals, Johnny Cueto has sorted out a deal with San Francisco worth $130 million over six years with an opt-out close after year two. Cueto was a bit of a bust in the regular season as a high profile acquisition by Kansas City, but earned his keep with strong play in the postseason. He joins a Giants rotation that also includes Madison Bumgarner, Jeff Samardzija, Matt Cain and Jake Peavy. San Francisco, who finished an iffy 84-78 in 2015, are considered an 8/1 shot on some futures boards to win the 2016 World Series.

There's a hopelessly confusing mess of information – some grounded in fact, some appearing on Squawk Box and similar shows – about fixed income investing in today's macro environment. In this post, I'm not predicting the future or recommending any investment strategy, but instead explaining how and why some government securities did really well in 2014 even though pundits abound cursed them as a surefire way to lose money in 2014 . And, I should add, said pundits weren't really all that stupid in doing so, because an oversimplified analysis of the interest rate environment pre-2014 pointed in that direction.
Rates on the U.S. 10 year treasury went down in 2014, from about 3% to 2.17%, despite widespread predictions that monetary policy would inevitably cause rates to increase. If pundits everywhere predicted this, why did the opposite materialize?
Global growth slowed down in 2014, dragging inflation down with it. Greece had another…episode, which reintroduced the possibility of a 'Grexit', pushing rates down further. So, by 2014's end, the 10 year treasury rate had decreased by about 75 basis points, moving in the opposite direction from rates on high-yield debt. In other words, credit spreads widened in 2014, meaning investors demanded more compensation in order to take on credit risk (i.e. lend to corporations via bonds).
Intuitively, widening credit spreads are the result of investors demanding more compensation in exchange for lending to corporations and other risky entities, because they perceive them to be increasingly susceptible to risk in comparison to the U.S. government. Why would this be the case? Usually because the economic outlook isn't so good – investors fear corporations are less credit-worthy due to their prospects and demand to be compensated accordingly. Furthermore, investors tend to seek the safest securities during times like these – i.e. 'flight to quality' occurs – namely U.S. government securities, which pushes down rates. This increases the credit spread, pushing risk free rates further away from rates on other debt.
The scenario described above is why in 2014 the average return on the 10 yr. treasury was about 10% despite the consensus forecast that they would perform poorly. Remember, the price of a bond is inversely related to the rate of interest, which is why the widening credit spread and corresponding decrease in rates pushed up the value of 10 year treasuries held by investors. To see why, think about the discount factor associated with a 10 year treasury at 3.02% versus 2.17%. In the first case (i.e. at the beginning of 2014), a $1000 par value bond is worth $741. When the applicable rate of interest falls to 2.17%, however, the corresponding price is $805.87. Clearly, the value of the 10 year US treasuries was impacted favorably by the decrease in rates, benefitting the investors who held them throughout the year. Moral of the story: interest rates are fucked up and hard to predict, and Squawk Box is almost never right.

I went to go to bed, I had almost forgotten about this.
I made a promise to myself to do it every day. only a little bit but every day.
Even when I went away for the weekend I still managed it.
Now that I'm back home it almost slipped me by.
What would the harm be? Just one day missed.
I know how my mind works, if I miss one I'll miss another.
Then it never gets done again.
I want to form a habit. I want to do it every day.
It's just a hundred words. Hell it barely even has to make sense.

I am fully aware that most of our students do not attend Mass on a regular basis and don't know the various responses and rites of the Mass. So I created a program with all of the responses, readings, prayers, and texts for the priest so they could follow along better. We will have these available for all of our class Masses this Lent as we try to evangelize our students.
Following Mass, we took a group picture with Fr. Richard, something I think we will do for all of the classes as a nice memento of our prayer and time together.

Theresa May admits she cried when she saw the shock exit poll showing she would lose her majority
The Prime Minister said she was shocked by how badly the Tories had done in the General Election
THERESA MAY today admitted she wept when she heard the result of the exit poll which showed she had lost her Commons majority.
The Prime Minister said she was shocked and devastated by the election result after her husband Philip told her she was on track to lose seats despite predictions she would win a huge majority.
The admission came as she marked one year exactly since she became Prime Minister.
Asked when she realised her snap election gambit had flopped, Mrs May told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was when I heard the exit poll. To be honest with you, I didn't actually watch the exit poll myself, I have a little superstition about that.
"My husband watched it for me and came and told me, and I was shocked at the result that came through in the exit poll.
"It took a few minutes for that to sink in, what it was telling me - my husband gave me a hug, and then I got on the phone to the Conservative party to find out what had happened."
Asked if she started to cry on hearing the result, the PM told presenter Emma Barnett, "Yes, a little tear at that moment."
She added: "I felt devastated, really. I knew the campaign wasn't going perfectly, but still the messages I was getting from people I was speaking to but also the comments we were getting back from other people that were passed on to me were that we were going to get a better result than we did."
But she insisted she never considered resigning from Number 10 despite the humiliating election result, saying: "I felt I had a responsibility to ensure the country had a government.
"We were the biggest party - we won more votes than the Labour party, more seats than the Labour party - we were the only party able to form a government, and I felt it was our responsibility to do that."
In an apparent dig at David Cameron's decision to quit after the EU referendum, she added: "It can be easy sometimes if something like this happens just to walk away and leave somebody else to deal with it."
Mrs May also paid tribute to the role her husband plays in supporting her political career - she said: "He's been a huge support for me over the years - there are times when I have to get him to read a newspaper article for me and tell me what it says, rather than reading it directly."
The PM admitted her respect for Jeremy Corbyn had grown after she saw him deal with the attack on a mosque last month in Finsbury Park, part of his local constituency.
She said: "He was there through the night with his constituents - I saw a Jeremy Corbyn there was was a good constituency MP."
Last night, Mrs May pleaded with Sun readers to keep her in office through the Brexit process - while admitting she had not done enough to win over voters to her vision of Britain.
She became Prime Minister on July 13, 2016 - two days after her rival Andrea Leadsom withdrew from the Tory leadership election, leaving Mrs May as the only candidate to replace David Cameron.
The PM has been left seriously weakened since she lost her Commons majority altogether in last month's election, leaving her reliant on the DUP to push through her agenda.
Mrs May received support today from Mrs Leadsom, her main opponent in the leadership contest last year.
The Leader of the House of Commons said she was "absolutely committed" to the PM and said Mrs May should lead the Tories into the next election.
She told The House magazine: "For every leader, they make their decisions and I certainly think she will be leading this country for as long as she wishes to do so."

With my mind
It can seem the different sense faculties all receive energy* and emotional feedback irrespective of one another's interference. Being exposed to one kind of spirit or energy or whatever through a song or chant, and then one through visual art like a drawing or sigil — though these avenues collide sometimes, they are separate avenues to the mind. It's like when people collaborate on a project — making music, art, a movie, a business, a kid — their different flavors blend and make something new. A lot of creative patterns come down to rules and dynamics like those in music and cuisine (some people's genes are "unsuccessful" concoctions).
So when perceiving something visually, we take in different energy than when we perceive something through auditory senses (unless they each receive the same flavor of energy, but still…). Yet how much of this isn't completely in our heads? Because when we think of someone we admire or love, it makes us a little more upbeat; and vice versa when we think of someone we hate or fear — our whole being heats and fogs up a little bit. And then given that mere recollections can expose us to past energies and heavy emotions, it makes me think that all sensory perceptions are not any different than mental phantasms which attempt to imprint themselves upon us.
In other words, when we perceive something with the senses, it is only a vessel trying to imprint itself upon the mind. And when we remember that vessel, it is evidence of successful imprint in that regard. Which is weird, because there's nothing besides those vessels that can be tangibly understood in this world, and yet there is something beneath all these vessels which is imprinted upon — something which remains apart from actual tangible vessel bodies and so forth.
I think this is related to what I was rambling about the other day with regards to music. So many things in life are just transferences of energetic imprints to the mind through sensory point-event contact. But these transferences can happen with or without the actual sensory contact. The contact is only an attempt in tricking the mind into belief (attachment). And the strongest point of contact is the actual body we exist in.
I guess this is the typical philosophical mantra of Zen people and the whole Heart Sutra thing. It's really hard to keep in mind when you're sitting next to a hot babe, though.
*In this post, and probably in this whole blog, note that I am not talking about qi/chi or prana when I broadly refer to energy. Instead, let's say energy refers to an overall mental "flavor" or "color" that individual things have. I.e. that of an angry murderer vs. a Theravada master, a sleazy businessman vs. a Shinto priest. Anyway, there's only a few types of different frequencies, so forget it.

The Government's new National Living Wage is now law.
If you're working and aged 25 or over and not in the first year of an apprenticeship, you are legally entitled to at least £7.20 per hour. That's an extra fifty pence per hour. The Government is committed to increasing this every year.
If you're an employer, you'll need to make sure you're paying your staff correctly, as the National Living Wage will be enforced as strongly as the current National Minimum Wage.

Question about Microsoft Office Professional 2010
Installation gets half way then stops
Posted by Anonymous on
How to fix - Setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPsWW2.cab
When you receive the error "Setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPsWW2.cab" it might mean the MD5 checksum the install was expecting and the one on the actual file do not match. Here's how I fixed the issue.
First let me explain in simple terms what the MD5 is. MD5 is an algorithm that is used to verify data integrity. If anything in the file changes the MD5 will also change so it's a way for the program to check the integrity of the file.
The MD5 file is kept in the setup file of the proplus.ww folder. Open it with notepad and find the section that looks similar to the following **the numbers after "MD5 =" is what you need to be concerned with. Also remember that your numbers may differ. **
<LocalCache DownloadCode="{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}" SkuComponentDirectory="ProPlus.WW">
<File Id="Office64WW.xml" MD5="899A7D743D01852EBD036B465D1EF181" Size="4685" RelativeCachePath="Office64WW.xml" RelativeSourcePath="Office64WW.xml"/>

<File Id="Setup.xml" MD5="" Size="" RelativeCachePath="Setup.xml" RelativeSourcePath="Setup.xml"/>
Next you will need to download and install an MD5 checker. I'll leave the process of how to use the MD5 to you to learn but it's pretty simple.
Next run the MD5 checker on the file/s that produce the errors during install. *there may be more than one*
Now there are 2 ways to work around this - If the MD5 on the checker did not match the MD5 in the file it probably means the file is corrupted so your best bet is to download the software again or get another disk.
Another less recommended way is to copy/paste the MD5 from the checker into the file (remember to make a backup of your setup file before) then save it and run the install again. This fools the installation process into verifying that your installation files are all OK.
Good luck!!

If one is good, two is better, right?
Another rendition of Hot Patterns 1170, the Blouse Back T. Different colors and a couple more changes to the basic pattern.
After wearing the first one a couple of times, I decided I needed to add some width to the back. I wanted fuller gathers in the woven than what the pattern had. Basically having it look more like the picture.
The other change was to run some elastic thread through the neckline. This snugged up the band, which now prevents it from drooping open (outward?) by the end of the day.
These should be the final modifications. I like the fit, and have gotten quite a number of compliments. When strangers notice, that's not too bad.

Well, today is the day!
Today is our little one's due date. I am at work though and feeling great. He is still breech, but it will be okay. We have a scheduled C-section on 11/26. God may decide for us to have him earlier and if he finally goes into the "head-down" position, then we shall see what happens.
My mom flew in on Tuesday night and we are having a good time. We'll keep you posted!
Here is where Little Moon's development rests as of right now:
It's hard to say for sure how big Little Moon will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds and is about 20 inches long. His skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason Little Moon's noggin may look a little conehead-ish after birth. Of course, if Little Moon arrives via C-section, then he will have a beautifully shaped head. 🙂
Little Moon is the size of a pumpkin today!

First of all, we need a multi-media software that can play any media on almost any software. If we could only use some software on hackintosh, that would defeat the entire purpose of trying to build a hackintosh to use it as a media server. In essence, we need to find the most flexible software for this project.
-===Multi-media player=-
- Plex (http://www.plexapp.com/): Plex is a nice looking software that has a lot of potential. However, as of now, you can not play your media on windows or linux machines. You could potentially use windows as media backup server but that's about it. You can't even play back media on linux machines. I tried looking for ports for windows and linux but those are way too unstable for our use. Despite all this, Plex does support play back on android, iPhone and iPod touch. No support for add-on. Plex won't be an ideal choice.
- Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv/): Boxee is a hot contender for our project. It's easy to use, simple, network capabilities and most of all cross platform. It does daily scan of your computer and sorts them out for you with any options. Other than being able to share your own files, you can access any public video and music online through the Boxee software. There is a lot of third party support as well (Flikr, Pandora, Vudo Movies, etc). You can also integrate your user info with facebook and tweeter.
- XMBC (http://xmbc.org/): This one has a lot of potential. A lot of customizations and options are available for you, however, it is not streamlined like Boxee. Navigation is pretty clunky (even with different skins) with several unnecessary functions that you can't really disable. It appears that Boxee has surpassed XBMC while Boxee is built upon it.
- There are other several options available. However, these three candidates are the most usable out of all XMBC related projects.
Side note: All of these softwares are based on XMBC. I couldn't find any that actually doesn't come from XMBC. Also, None of these are able to play files with DRM. No way getting around that.

American Airlines on Friday held its first quarter earnings call, announcing it had made net profit, excluding special items, of $765 million.
I was listening to American's call, so I thought I would compile some of what I learned. I took notes but the direct quotes here come from a transcript compiled by seekingalpha.com.
Here we go ...
- This year, American will take delivery of 55 new mainline aircraft. It will retire 86.
- American says its fleet has an average age of about 10-years-old. "When we did the merger, we had the second oldest fleet of the four largest airlines," CEO Doug Parker said. "Now we have the youngest."
- On the regional side, American Eagle carriers this year will add 49 aircraft and retire 23.
- American says its mishandled bag rate was down 20 percent, year over year, for the first quarter.
- American's most improved hubs, on a financial basis, year-over-year, were Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles. Miami showed the most regression, because there's less demand for travel to Latin America.
- American CEO Doug Parker spoke about why the airline recently instituted profit sharing for front-line workers. American's competitors have been doing this for awhile, but American did not, preferring instead to instead pay higher wages. Now, workers are getting both. "What we realized is if we were going to really get our team engaged and excited, which is an imperative to accomplishing all we want to accomplish and ... to compete against the other airlines, and particularly for premium travelers, we have to have our team engaged and excited and this was holding us back," Parker said.
- By late this year, American will introduce new type of cheap ticket that will not include some usual frequent flier benefits. The airline has not said exactly how it will work but we might assume travelers on the cheapest tickets will not be eligible for free first class upgrades. They might not be able to choose seats in advance either. "The more you're paying, the better benefits you are going to get," American President Scott Kirby said.
- American is in negotiations on a new credit card deal that could be very lucrative. "While I won't predict on this call when or even if we'll get a deal done, all of our large competitors have done new deals in the past couple of years and we expect a similar large tailwind for American Airlines when we do ultimately get a new deal done," Kirby said.

Kamala Mills: A lesson to learn by hoteliers At end of the year 2017 another man made negligence tragedy followed, the recent fire at Kamla Mill compound, Mumbai at 1 Above and Mojo restaurant had shown the casual approach of the restaurant owners. The irrecoverable loss of 14 lives and the pain of more then 50 injured , with emotional turmoil of there keen cannot be measured in words. The people in restaurant business should understand the seriousness of defaulting the fire safety norms. The reason which has surfaced with the initial probe is, it was due to the short circuit, but above that it was also found there were no adequate amount of fire equipment's to control the fire, neither there were any rout mentioned for such emergencies , neither there were any signage's for the emergency exit route, due to this ,the people got trapped in the bathroom rather than getting out of emergency door, most of the deaths occur due to choking. Well, The truth will definitely reveled once the enquiry is done by the officials. It again shows how ill-prepared the hospitality industry is for such emergencies, we hardly see any drills or even trainings for the staff in such stand alone and chain of restaurants. In today's world, where technology is ruling and there are so many AI and digital equipments which..Read More

It was the first food production theory class and my faculty informed us to buy a book called "Theory Of Cookery" By Krishna Arora , and from that point onwards it has become an integral part of our profession. Well this Might be story for every one who has taken the formal education in Hotel And Catering Management. Theory of cookery has been so popular among the students that it can be called as the Bible of food production. The language was simple enough to understand the terms of the gastronomy world, which were very new to us , but there after, year after year Theory of cookery by Krishna Arora was part and of our carrier . The Demise of the iconic figure is a huge loss to the industry, and the gap created can never ever be fulfilled. Her contribution to the formal education of food production had been phenomenal, to add this she was the HOD at IHM Pussa.New Delhi.

As many as 150 delegates from across India are participating in the three-day Model United Nations (MUN) being organised at GGDSD College here from February 10 to 12, 2016. A total of 20 institutes from across the country have sent their delegates for the MUN, with the youngest contestant being a class 8th student from a school in the city. The delegates belong to various institutes from Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. They will debate issues of global importance.
Watch What Else is Making News
The various committees and their agendas for the SD MUN 2017 were General Assembly — Third Committee Agenda: Addressing Gender Inequality with special reference to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; Historic Security Council Agenda: Vietnam War, 1968; World Health Organisation Agenda 1 — Health in prisons, Agenda 2 – Alcohol abuse; UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Agenda: International cooperation in the peaceful uses of Outer space; Conference to the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime Agenda: Addressing the nexus between drugs, corruption and organised crime in the fight against illicit narcotics drugs.
Inaugurating the event, Dr Balraj Thapar, registrar of the college, said, "The MUN programme allows students to take on the role of diplomats of foreign countries in a simulation of UN committee meetings. It provides a perfect platform to hone the research and deliberation skills of the students."
Monika Soni, coordinator of the MUN club of the college said, "MUN conferences shape future leaders. It sharpens their analytical and problem solving instincts while teaching them the importance of diplomacy, human resource management and team work."

we were on the edge of the water, you and i. me in my little black dress, you in that white shirt.
it's a starry night, it's windy, it's perfect.
you gently trace the bracelets on my wrists, ask me why i wear them. no one else has done this. i wouldn't explain to anyone else anyways.
suddenly, you stand up and start to walk away. i remain seated, staring at the water.
"aren't you going to follow me?"
"not anymore."
you fade away, and i'm left alone.
and then i wake up, tangled in my sheets. it's 5 a.m., and i don't know how i feel.
i sit on the balcony, head in my hands, heart in my mouth.
it's been so long since i've dreamt of you. and never once, never have i not followed you.
so what does this mean?
am i finally over you? can i ever be over you?
i inhale slowly; my panic attacks are more frequent these days. i grip my phone tightly, and almost drop it when it buzzes.
'hey, i know you're probably asleep right now. but i miss you. call me.'
he's not you, not by far. but it's enough to calm me down. i climb back to bed, and turn your picture around. i don't need any more reminders of you.
i do my 5 minutes before i sleep thing, only difference is that you're not whom i'm thinking off.
and then i'm gone, and so are you.

The Eagles beat the Patriots 41-33 Sunday night. What did Pederson say? In a center-stage interview following the win, Pederson responded to a question about what it was like to rise from a high school football coach to coaching an NFL team that ultimately won the Super Bowl. "How do you explain this, that nine years ago you're coaching in high school and here you are with this trophy?" NBC's Dan Patrick asked Pederson after the win. "I can only give the praise to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity," Pederson gushed. "And I'm going to tell you something. I've got the best players in the world, and it's a resilient group." He added, "I love this coaching staff. Mr. [Jeffrey] Lurie, the owner."

The smell.
That's what I always notice first about the rain. Not the feel of it on my skin. Not the sound of it on the tin awning outside the window. Not even the sight of it drifting in sheets through the orange glow of the solitary streetlight. It's the smell that sends that wholesome reverberation, starting at the nose, throughout the body.
There's a purity to the rain, to water. Perhaps it's the analogous "washing away" of filth, of past sins. We feel clean after water has touched our skin. We feel either energized or refreshed (or both). Whether it's a hot shower, playing with bubbles in our bath as children, or midnight skinny dipping with friends in the lake. No matter the source, the disposition, or the quantity, there's a purity and a constancy to its effects on the allegorical soul.
I enjoy the simple pleasure of standing in the rain on purpose. It's not that I feel purified or some such nonsense. It's just nice to feel the steady rhythm of nature's beating drum on my skin, in my hair, on my lips, reminding me that no matter what happened that day or night, the world continues to function, much as it did before I drew my first wailing breath, and much as it will after the memory of my existence is forgotten. The rain allows me to reflect on the inconsequential events of my life, and just be content to have experienced anything at all. Thus am I able to make peace with my own inevitable death.
But no matter what, even after the last drop evaporates from my skin, even after the last pattering sounds its final dirge on the tin awning, and even after the last faint glistening reflected in that streetlight glow disappears, no matter what, the smell lingers.

Several weeks ago Shan was getting ready to start on her school work for the day and asked how long I thought we would be in this rental house. I very confidently told her that I thought we would be here for a while and wouldn't have to add moving into our school schedule.
Two days later…
Our church treasurer let hubby know that our landlord was putting the house on the market. She wanted to give the church first option. We kind of had the feeling that the church probably would not purchase the home. Originally, there had been another rental house available, but we learned that option had been taken off the table. So, we started figuring out how we could live in a more permanent arrangement in the Family Life Center. And before some of you start getting all angsty about that idea, know that we were perfectly fine with that. 🙂 And we had it all figured out.
Sunday, the church voted on whether or not to pursue the purchase of the rental house, and it was decided against. Which was fine. This is only a two bedroom house, and there is no way to put an egress in the basement to make a bedroom down there. The kids are sharing a room, and while it was good for a short time, it's not really working well any longer.
We did find out on Sunday that the rental that had been taken off the table is now back on. We will see what happens. We were also told, on no uncertain terms by a gentleman in our congregation, that we would NOT be moving back into the Family Life Center. He was pretty angsty about that idea. 😀 Actually, he was pretty angsty when he found out that we were living there before.
Regardless of where we end up, it looks like we will be packing up again. 🙂
Shan asked me this morning if I was disappointed that we wouldn't be living in the FLC. I told her I thought it would have been a fun adventure. I asked her the same and she said she was a little as she thought it would have been a bit fun as well…. to a point. 🙂
The hope is that we will be settled into where ever by the holidays.

After reading Chapter One: How to see yourself by Mizoeff, I think that he is asking us to think about the way that we look at other people and the way that we represent ourselves. We generally only show the best side ourselves, what we like the best and that is different for everyone. I believe that it is important that we think more about the way that we judge people from what we see, as we all have different things that we like or find attractive. Not everyone likes the same things and the way that we present ourselves shouldn't necessarily bring a bad or good opinions from others.
I selected the self-portrait by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Self-portrait Before a Mirror, because from this image he looks just like any other 'normal' man. But what the self-portrait doesn't show is his legs, which Mizoeff tells us are like a child's. He is disabled, but we cant see that from the image that he is showing us.

Morata on a high ahead of Atletico challenge
Stoke-on-Trent: Alvaro Morata will approach Chelsea's Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid next week in top form after his hat-trick inspired his side to a 4-0 win at Stoke City.
Morata struck three times at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday to take his Chelsea tally to seven goals in six games since his close-season move from Atletico's local rivals Real Madrid.
There was also relief, for Morata and manager Antonio Conte, that Chelsea's fans dropped a controversial chant about the Spain striker that contained an anti-Semitic reference to rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
"Our fans were fantastic today and they pushed a lot the team in every moment of the game," said Conte, whose side follow their trip to Spain with a home game against Manchester City next weekend.
"In this stadium the crowd push a lot and I want to thank our fans because I repeat they helped a lot the team today. It was great also to change it (the song). I am also pleased about this.
"I think Alvaro performed very well. He scored a hat-trick and for our strikers it's very important.
"It means we created chances for our strikers to take, but I am pleased for his performance and I'm pleased for the performance of the team."
Morata had previously asked Chelsea's fans not to sing the song about him and they responded by dreaming up a different chant in his honour.
He opened the scoring after just 81 seconds and added two more goals in the second half after Pedro had punished Darren Fletcher's error to make it 2-0.
"It's not easy to win away against Stoke. This game is always difficult," added Conte, whose side trail leaders Manchester City and Manchester United by three points.
"I remember very well last season when we struggled a lot to win and we also won at the end of the game.
"Today we started very well and then we started to suffer and it was important not to lose our composure, to always stay in the game.
"In the second half we scored two goals and created many chances to improve the final result. The final result was 4-0, but I think that it was a difficult game."
Conte confirmed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had suffered no ill-effects from a heavy landing on his neck during the second half and will be fit to face his former club Atletico.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes had no such comfort after he saw his side undone by horrible defensive errors, then reported his centre-back crisis could extend into next week's home game against Southampton.
Hughes will have Kurt Zouma available after the Chelsea defender was prevented from playing against Conte's men by the terms of his loan to Stoke.
But Bruno Martins Indi, the only central defender who was available to start against Chelsea, has joined Ryan Shawcross, Geoff Cameron and Kevin Wimmer on the injured list after limping off with a groin problem.
Hughes said: "When you go up against a side with the quality of Chelsea, you've got to make sure you don't have catastrophic defensive moments and we had at least three, so that's always going to make it difficult.
"There were extenuating circumstances with our difficulties with personnel at the back and with Bruno coming off.
"We've got Kurt back next week, but all the others are out so we could struggle again next week."

FEBRUARY 14, 2017, PORT HUENEME, Calif. (NNS) – In May and June of 2016, Navy Test Officer (NTO) Lt. Jillian Bahlman went off to the shores of Kauai, Hawaii, to the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) where she served in various critical roles.
These roles included the execution of challenging Aegis Baseline 9.C1 (Ballistic Missile Defense 5.0 capability upgrade) test objectives against a medium-range ballistic missile; the execution of two successful missile firings from guided-missile destroyer USS Hopper (DDG 70); and served as the lead test officer for Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet during Exercise Pacific Dragon (PD).
Those were her first three assignments as an NTO, but this did not faze her. During Bahlman's time supporting these test and evaluation (T&E) campaigns, her efforts were recognized by senior leadership.
In May 2016, Bahlman's skillful management of mission changes, flight safety adjustments, and shipboard equipment anomalies led to USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) successfully accomplishing all assigned test objectives.
When this first campaign concluded, she didn't stop. Bahlman began preparing for Hopper missile firings. In this role, she oversaw the execution of an extensive weapon system readiness assessment for Hopper and a waterfront integration test, which verified proper interface functions between the ship's BMD weapon system and the Standard Missile-3 Blk IB threat upgrade missiles.
Both May events involved 10-12 additional Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) personnel aboard the respective ships as part of test teams during each T&E event. Bahlman was the only member of the NSWC PHD workforce present for both. Her naval operational expertise and adept leadership led directly to the success of firing rehearsals, other range preparations, and ultimately to the two successful missile firings.
Moving on from this highly-successful event, Bahlman then assumed the role of lead test officer for PD. PD is a trilateral BMD tracking event involving the U.S. Navy, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), and Republic of Korea (ROK) navy.
Bahlman managed Aegis Baseline 9.C2 (BMD 5.1) and joint/foreign interoperability objectives for the exercise. Meeting these objectives was critical to implementing the Navy's present and future integrated air and missile defense mission, which furthered the development of maritime regional BMD capability and capacity between the JMSDF, the ROK navy, and the U.S. Navy.
Bahlman received recognition for her efforts while back at PMRF for another T&E event, Jan. 23. Rear Adm. J. R. Wolfe, program executive for Aegis BMD, presented her with a Joint Service Achievement Medal (JSAM) for the three T&E campaigns May 1-June 30.
The JSAM is awarded to members of the U.S. military who distinguish themselves by outstanding achievement or meritorious service while assigned to a joint activity.
Bahlman was humble regarding her recognition.
"These missions involve large teams; I was just one of many," Bahlman said.
During the time period, Bahlman expertly led and managed large test teams putting in long hours, managed operational schedule changes, equipment casualties, target preparations, shipboard logistics requirements, and campaign status requirements. Bahlman was consistently recognized by senior Department of Defense leaders present at PMRF as was seen as the primary reason for the tremendous success of the three multi-faceted BMD T&E campaigns.
Being a junior officer in an atmosphere crawling with high-ranking personnel opened Bahlman's eyes to a different world, but she was up to the task.
"I was always the youngest in the room," said Bahlman. "It was intense at first facing difficult technical questions on issues on the ship or casualties, I had to learn that [quickly] and work through those challenges."
Her ability to foster a professional level of teamwork, her in-depth knowledge of the Aegis combat system, her mission planning skills and her naval operational acumen were instrumental to the successful execution of these historic missions.
Bahlman is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and holds a Master of Science in system engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School. She reported to NSWC PHD October 2015.
Kevin Pollock, ballistic missile defense project manager, contributed to this story.

Sometimes when the people in your life who should be telling you these things aren't, it's ok to tell yourself. Because sometimes it's nice to be reminded AND because it's TRUE!
YOU ARE. WE ALL ARE. Sure we all have our flaws but that doesn't make us any less special or any less beautiful. Everyone has their own unique beauty, just like a snowflake & we should embrace it.
Of course we all have our "bad hair days" & I know I often wish I was a few kilos lighter (but I can't seem to give up chocolate or donuts long enough to make this happen!) but we need to learn to love the skin we're in, because it's all we've got.
Besides, beauty is so much more than what's on the outside too. You may have a fabulous smile & flawless skin but even if you have a few extra pimples & a crooked grin, as the quote by Roald Dahl says
& that's true, if you are a kind & thoughtful person, you'll radiate that beauty from within & shine.
YOU MATTER. Your wants, your needs are no less important than anyone else's. Of course there are times when you will need to put other peoples before your own (you do that daily if you're a mum) but this doesn't mean you aren't just as important or that you value yourself any less.
I know as a mum we often put ourselves & our needs last, while we look after the family- the kids, our partner, the house, our friends etc, but it's OK to take a step back once in a while & take the time to do something for ourselves. Something just for us. Go get that pedicure, go for a run or to that dance class. YOUR time, health, dreams, goals & sanity are just as important as everyone else's & it's ok to treat yourself like it is.
What you think, what you say, what you do, IS important. Everyone deserves to be heard, to have a voice & to be true to themselves. You are worthy of respect & you are IMPORTANT.
Remember this old nugget of wisdom too when you're feeling like you are insignificant or don't matter
Sometimes it's easy to feel like we're juggling A LOT of balls in the air, trying so hard to be everything to everyone – a good friend, daughter, sister, mother, colleague & partner, yet still feel like we're not giving enough or doing the best we can in these roles.
I definitely feel guilty sometimes for not measuring up as I'd like to in many areas of my life. My boys watch waaay to much tv (so I can get stuff done) I spend waaay too much time on my phone (when I'm suppose to be getting said stuff done) I don't call or check in with friends & family as often as I should & there are days I find it hard just to get out of my pjs & showered (let alone getting outside to go walking) But sometimes we just have to accept that we can't do it all & that's OK.
Somedays you just have to do whatever you can to make it through & take care of you. As they say you need to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help anyone else, so be kind & gentle on yourself. Look after you, even if that means saying NO on occasion to friends or the kids so that you can do what you need to.
There are times we just have to acknowledge that we're doing the best we can, with what we have, where we are. And thats good enough. YOU ARE ENOUGH.
Do you hear or tell yourself these things as often as you should? What other positive messages would you add to YOUR Note to Self? Do you know someone who can benefit from hearing these things right now? Tell them, or better yet, share this post & share the love.
As always feel free to comment here or come say hi over on Instagram & Facebook


text: Posting may be scarce (or non-existent) until after the weekend. Good-looking Weatherman and I are heading out to see his family for an early Christmas. Enjoy the snow, stay safe, don't get stuck in the ice storm. Or, if you're not in the part of the country that's getting dumped on with snow and ice, enjoy that too!

Cambridge Edition - End of Year Column
As another year draws to an end, it is a good time to reflect on all of our achievements and the new exciting things happening in Cambridge.
One of the best parts of my job as your local MP is meeting with so many of you in the community. I get to do this in my electorate office, on the streets and at a range of events throughout the year.
As I look back at 2015, I am proud of the way the National Government has worked hard to deliver sustainable economic growth, lift education and skills, get more people into work, and support families and households to get ahead.
After a slow start to the year, the economy is performing solidly with a positive outlook in the coming years. Jobs and wages are growing – 34,000 new jobs in the past year, and wages growing considerably faster than the cost of living. This year the Government's books got back into surplus. This is a significant milestone and one we can all take great pride in.
The opening of the Avantidrome last year has been great example of how a major local project can really bring the community together. 1 year on, 85% of use is by us in the community. From community events, school sports, and everything in between. On a personal note, I like how I can watch my 13 year old son compete in cycling one minute and the next be attending an international event such as the UCI Track Cycling World Cup, which I attended earlier this month along with the Prime Minister.
Record numbers of tourists are visiting New Zealand and spending more than ever before – around $9.4 billion a year. It looks like we are in for a busy summer period which is great news for the many new local businesses I've seen opening up in the area. This will just continue to add to our already vibrant community.
We also saw the opening of the Cambridge section of the Waikato Expressway. It is the biggest single roading project in Waikato's history. Although completion of this project is still a few years away, the expressway will greatly reduce travel times, improve road safety and boost the economy.
As I look at ahead to 2016 it is already looking be a busy but exciting year. The focus will continue to be on the issues that matter in Cambridge, and for the rest of New Zealand.
I am very much looking forward to spending time with my family over the summer break. Getting out and making the most of the glorious weather, enjoying this beautiful country we are so lucky to call home. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and happy Christmas & New Year.

While this info might be helpful to you, it was intended for another bug. Sorry for the spam.
what version of mesa + -ati are installed?
you need to upgrade mesa/libdrm/-ati to latest rawhide for those kernels.
This is happening with the latest rawhide. I have:
yes, rawhide has a newer version of mesa (-0.8), but that fails by #494737.
I'm marking this a dupe of #494737 ... since this particular issue doesn't occur when everything is updated (just #494737 occurs). This issue only occurred when I run newer kernels with the older mesa that don't exhibit the bug in #494737.

So, after so many of my friends on FB and in general have picked The Shawshank Redemption as one of their favorite movies of all time, we decided to buy it on PPV last night. Wow, what a film. Raw and uncompromising in many areas and not an endorsement of the prison systems during the period. That being said, it is an amazing story, well written, well acted, directed and the cinematography was amazing. I have always liked Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins as actors (though I wish Tim would shut up about his politics.) Both did a stellar job in this movie.
If you have not seen it, or have not seen it recently, obvoiusly highly recommend it.
What I took as the core message from the film was the theme of "hope." I won't ruin it for you, but essentially The TR character "Andy" believes in hope as his salvation and the MF character Red feels that Hope is something that is a killer in Prison, especially to lifers as both of them are.
Hope is something that in my opinion that you have to hold on to, no matter what "they" tell you. Life without hope really is not living, it's more like dieing. Your vision of hope can change. You can always hope for something else.
With ALS, it seems like the first thing the Neurologists try to do is take hope away. They are the MF character. Not antagonistic, often very kind, very "understanding." They don't "wish" this on you. But they don't offer hope either. The TR character Andy knows that deep within him, no matter what happens to him (and boy do some awful things happen to him) he knows that there is a place that they can't touch, and that is his hope.
So let's all try to not lose that!

After the great night at Amnesia on Thursday, Judgement Friday was a huge come down, partially saved only by a very good, if brief, set from John O'Callaghan. Before he played, we had to endure three horrible hours of commercial electro garbage from Faruk Sabanci, Danny Howard and Judge Jules.
It was a bad sign that when we arrived, we heard REM – Losing My Religion and I wondered if I'd walked into the wrong club. Next up was Above & Beyond – Sun & Moon and my heart sank. Apparently this was Faruk Sabanci playing, but it could have been any old DJ playing in a crap bar anywhere in the world.
Danny Howard was no better and had an obsession with using the microphone. It's bad enough when there's an MC, but DJs and microphones are a bad mix. Judge Jules was actually better than he was in Sydney in February, but that's not saying much. He dropped a remix of Armin van Buuren – This Is What It Feels Like that was so slowed down it was almost in reverse.
Eventually John O'Callaghan came to the DJ console and things could only get better. Except the sound system, which seemed to suddenly be muddied in the bass and flat in the mid ranges. And in just an hour he packed in a number of classics new and old, of his own and others. We heard a mash up of John O'Callaghan – Stresstest and iiO – Rapture, Aly & Fila – Mysteries Unfold, Tiesto – Flight 643, Marco V – False Light, Adam Ellis – Napalm Poet, John O'Callaghan – Find Yourself, Energy 52 – Cafe del Mar and John O'Callaghan – Big Sky.
Overall, it was not a great night. One great hour, but it had too much to make up for. I'll be steering clear of anything with the Judgement brand on it in future.
