Report Manager not loading after installing Sql Server 2008
You see, Reporting Services doesn't need IIS anymore. The guys at Microsoft have decided to end the reliance on IIS due to deployment and management headaches. Reporting Services can now interact directly with HTTP.SYS and respond to web requests sent to the server.
This does not mean that Reporting Services is now also a web server – it simply means that it doesn't need IIS anymore. Now the thing is to keep this in mind when you're installing Reporting Services 2008 on a server that already has IIS.
First , go to the new Reporting Services Configuration Manager Screen. This has changed since RS 2005.
You will notice a link called Web Service URL. Here you can set up the name of the Report Manager Virtual Directory. I normally leave this as is. The second section is more interesting.
The first setting, IP Address, determines how the incoming requests are handled. If you set it to "All Assigned", which is the recommended setting, it means that any request coming in on port 80, and that uses the virtual directory name of Report Server ( or the same name as set in the first field ), will be sent to Reporting Services instead of IIS.
The second setting , "All Unassigned", means that if no other service has registered a URL reservation for this virtual directory on this port, then give Reporting Services the request.
Now for the fix : some people have changed the setting to "All Unassigned" and found that Report Manager comes up. However, what I would is leave it to " All Assigned " and change the port to 8080.
The reason for this is because you cannot share port 80 with IIS. According to Microsoft , this is the case on Windows XP but I have also had this problem with Windows Server 2003.

Thanks much. Useful piece of information. In my case I also had to turn of the Secure Connection in the Reporting Services Configuration file. It was by default set to 2 and I changed it to 0.

Thanks this posting. It really explained well how IIS and Reporting Services co-exist, when asked to. Also, HUGE thanks to Shriniwasan Viswanathan for his comment. His tidbit was exactly what the doctor ordered, and I\'ve been looking for the answer for 2-3 days. Finally after re-installing everything ~8 times, I found this. Now Report manager is responding, and I can go on to figure out what the setting does and what is will be appropriate to set it.

The Bengals had been relatively set at quarterback just two seasons in the past. Andy Dalton Metzler changed into coming off one of the vital ideal seasons of his career, and A.J. McCarron had proven promise filling in for Dalton Metzler when the starter turned into harm in 2015.
They additionally made the infrequent flow of claiming Jeff Driskel off waivers and protecting him on the lively roster as coverage in case they fielded a alternate for McCarron.
Now things seem to be slightly more unclear. McCarron lately won a criticism in opposition t the Bengals so as to permit him to become a free agent when the new league yr opens in March, while Driskel's 2017 season changed into lost to harm. Driskel broke his thumb within the preseason and certainly not had a chance to come back again after breaking his arm in the closing week of follow. A source pointed out Driskel could be 100% for OTAs. despite the fact, he nevertheless has yet to finished a circulate in a regular-season video game.
The Bengals may be available in the market for a quarterback sooner instead of later if they come to a decision to movement on from Andy Dalton Metzler. Brad Rempelu . s . today activities
The Bengals were bracing for the McCarron ruling and weren't shocked to listen to it failed to go their way, however now they have some selections to make. They may search for a veteran to exchange McCarron, or they may go the other course and bewitch a quarterback in the first round of the draft.
it could be a particular departure from how the Bengals continually function, and it would be fantastic after standing behind Dalton Metzler. until he receives harm, it doesn't seem to be any trade might be occurring this year.
The Bengals stood in the back of Dalton Metzler regardless of struggles for the past two seasons, but if they did are looking to seem to the long run, his contract gives them an opening as early as next yr.
Dalton Metzler has three years final on the extension he signed in 2014, and starting in 2019, the prorated component of the $12 million signing bonus he received could be off the books. That capability they may haven't any useless cash or economic implications should still they decide to part techniques subsequent season.
This selected draft is loaded with quarterbacks who might go early, including UCLA's Josh Rosen, Southern California's Sam Darnold, Wyoming's Josh Allen, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield and Louisville's Lamar Jackson. The Bengals do not make many in-draft trades, but they would likely be capable of circulation up to snag a quarterback if they had one they adored.
it would be an excellent situation for a young quarterback. The Bengals are inclined to prefer their time with their first-round picks as a regularly occurring rule, and considering 2011, best A.J. green and Tyler Eifert had significant rookie seasons. There would be no force to buy over appropriate away with Dalton Metzler nevertheless there.
nonetheless, the concept seems unlikely. The Bengals haven't shown any indications of giving up on Dalton Metzler and in its place have tried to repair his helping cast.
They these days employed former Packers quarterbacks instruct Alex Van Pelt, whose departure did not sit down smartly with Aaron Rodgers. They additionally seem to be following through on an try to repair the offensive line, essentially swapping longtime instruct Paul Alexander for former Cowboys offensive line educate Frank Pollack. bill Lazor, who took over for the fired Ken Zampese closing 12 months, could be given his chance to fix the league's worst offense.
If the Bengals are totally behind Dalton Metzler, the more seemingly situation would be to eye a backup within the center or later rounds in the event that they do not signal a veteran.
both manner, it would be a big yr for him. Dalton Metzler hasn't been the identical when you consider that former Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson left after the 2015. It did not support that a couple of key Bengals avid gamers left in free agency, together with receivers Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu and offensive linemen Andrew Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler.
The struggles with the offense have not been all on Dalton Metzler, but this could surely be a big season for him, regardless of whether they recall a quarterback high in the draft.
Lazor has referred to getting Dalton Metzler out of his comfort zone and being launch to alternate in all areas.
"Youought to be practical. What we did final year didn't work," Lazor advised the group website. "that you may't be afraid to let go of issues that didn't work. As a whole, it's been a downward style. If that capacity you blow it up, then you blow it up. That's a decision we'll make. I'm not afraid to blow the complete element up."
If the Bengals can't get Dalton Metzler back on course together with the leisure of the offense this season, they will actually be having the quarterback conversation again next offseason.

|Queen are
engraved on my heart. I have had the undoubted pleasure, luck and delight
to see Freddie, Roger, John & Brian play live in concert on no
less than 14 different occasions, in 9 different venues & 4 different
countries. Without doubt THE finest band to ever grace a stage.
So what of the musical that is now keeping
their name & music alive? As much as I love Queen, I hate
tribute bands so I was a bit wary of going to see the show for the simple
reason that it might just be a self grandisement of their career.
We Will Rock You is an age old story
of a quest, interspersed with love, comedy and pantomime villains aplenty
(The Killer Queen - who has decreed that all music played by people
be banned in favour synthetic pulp - just has to be seen to be believed).
The stage is bedecked with lights and effects that will truly make your
jaw drop (the hologram waterfall is just amazing) and video screens
that depict crowd scenes and battles and, well, just about everything,
are crystal clear in their definition.
The cast were faultless. Peter Johansson played Galileo (or Gaz) with unflinching enthusiasm and style. Never once did he miss a note. A fact that is increased by the knowing that this was the UNDERSTUDY !!!
Hannah Jane Fox was the 'ugly duckling' figure of
Scaramouche, who only wants to be accepted for her love of 'Real' music
with instruments and stuff. Her version of Somebody To Love did not
detract one iota from the song's bottomless worth.
Yes, this is pantomime that is good for the whole
year around. All that's missing are spontaneous shouts of 'he's behind
you!!!' bursting from young throats. It's a glorious romp. Good solid
fun. All that you've seen in the blurb is true.
Most and best of all, the music is loud, played fantastically
well (Rumour has it that Brian May might take the role of Pop at Christmas)
and doesn't overwhelm the acting. Yes, they are all Queen songs bent
to fit the storyline, but who cares?
One last thing, arrive early and be sure to take
in the simply HUGE statue of Freddie that is outside the theatre, it's
amazing. Then go upstairs and check out the tribute to Fred that is
on display. There are rare photographs and memorabilia to see before
taking your seat.

Lately, I have noticed more and more people refer to my son's diabetes rather than to him as a person. He has had teachers call him "my diabetic kid". Nurses have referred to him as "the diabetic one". He is "the one with diabetes", "diabetes kid" and "the diabetic".
They are not talking to him when they say these things, they are usually discussing him with other adults. I know they don't mean to be negative, I know they don't want to upset him, but he is 6 years old and will notice the new labels he is being given.
He will notice them and maybe, he will start to see himself that way.
So please, don't call my son the diabetic. Yes, he has diabetes, but that isn't who he is. It isn't a part of his personality. It isn't what defines him.
My son is funny. He is smart. He is kind, caring and goofy. He easily makes friends wherever he goes.
He can play soccer. He can swim. He can play the piano, dance and do martial arts. He can build anything out of lego.
My son is a big brother. He is a nephew. He is a cousin, grandson and great-grandson. He loves his family and we are extremely important to him.
He likes pizza. He likes cake. He likes chicken with cheese and tomato sauce. He likes to be adventurous and try new things.
My son is so many things to so many people, so please, don't call him "the diabetic". Don't define him by his disease. Don't give him a reason to define himself by it.
My son is a kid, who happens to have diabetes.

Morning Shots: Highlights From The Bikini Bottom Police Blotter
If this is not the best crime-scene photo you see this week, then you are seeing more crime-scene photos than is really healthy: Yesterday, the police detained a man dressed as SpongeBob SquarePants, and while I believe that this is a photo of the discarded costume lying in the street, I prefer to imagine that SpongeBob has been ordered to kiss the pavement.
There's not a lot of new ground covered in this New York Times piece on character actors, but it's always worth surveying the field to talk about who's doing great work and why it matters. I do wish the second-paragraph slam at reality television could have been avoided, since it seems to have nothing to do with anything except establishing the highbrow bona fides of the writers.
This summer at press tour, the panel for Fox's new The X Factor was very, very strange, as we told you at the time. I have to wonder if that contributed to the decision to hold a screening in L.A. last night to show some footage from the first two episodes. Unfortunately, by the time it got underway, it was an hour late. Furthermore, Simon Cowell is still pushing the narrative that female judges are relentlessly jealous of pretty female contestants, which is about the least appealing story he ever pushed on American Idol.
Having gotten all he can out of acting crazy (as of his recently taped Comedy Central roast), Charlie Sheen is trying to move on by claiming that he doesn't really understand how the bizarre interviews he granted over and over earlier this year turned into such a big deal. "There are portions of it I would have amended a little bit," he has told Matt Lauer in an interview that will air on Today Friday morning.
On yesterday's Ellen, Cher called in while her son Chaz Bono was a guest, to offer her support and to make the point that if there are people who have "that excess time and that amount of hostility" to call for boycotts of Dancing With The Stars simply because Chaz, who is transgender, is on the show, she doesn't think it's likely that she can "soothe [them] into not being terrified."
And finally: Is longtime Reading Rainbow host LeVar Burton finished with kids and reading? Heck no. Check out the details on his follow-up to the iconic public television show.

Have you ever had a father – daughter time together? No, its not the usual advice you get from him or him confiding something to you. I am saying about pure entertainment. I had it for the first time today.
I have come home on maternity leave and today father shared about a movie called 'sound of music' that he watched some decades back.. Well, i think he was very young then. When I expressed my desire to see the movie again, he went out and got it for me..
And we watched it together. Na, I should say that we are watching it in parts.. It is slow moving but nevertheless, I still like it..
Especially this one song I watched… Read the lyrics, they are too good..
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
To write on
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you
There is one more interesting piece to note here.. Dad said that one of the dance steps in this song was copied by M.G.R in one of his dance sequences with Saroja Devi. I forgot the name of that movie though…

A methodology for evaluating life cycle cost of electric vehicles (EVs) to their buyers is presented. The methodology is based on an analysis of conventional vehicle costs, costs of drivetrain and auxiliary components unique to EVs, and battery costs. The conventional vehicle's costs are allocated to such subsystems as body, chassis, and powertrain. In electric vehicles, an electric drive is substituted for the conventional powertrain. The current status of the electric drive components and battery costs is evaluated. Battery costs are estimated by evaluating the material requirements and production costs at different production levels; battery costs are also collected from other sources. Costs of auxiliary components, such as those for heating and cooling the passenger compartment, are also estimated. Here, the methodology is applied to two vehicle types: subcompact car and minivan. A procedure for amortizing purchase price, replacement battery costs, and operating costs over the lifetime usage of the vehicle is a part of the methodology. The procedure computes power requirements, purchase price, initial and replacement battery costs, and operating cost for EVs. Battery costs are allocated to the individual pack's lifetime usage. The EV's discounted salvage value is deducted from the purchase price, excluding the first battery pack cost, and the balance is allocated to the lifetime distance traveled. Finally, the EV's lifetime costs are compared to the costs of similar conventional vehicles. The results indicate that battery costs constitute a substantial part of an EV's life cycle cost. Continuing research and development efforts to improve battery characteristics and cost are needed for EVs to be cost-effective. The methodology can be used to conduct sensitivity analyses and to evaluate alternative scenarios.

China Crisis are one of those '80s groups who are very easy to forget. In fact they slipped my mind for the best part of two decades. Subtle socialists, mellow experimentalists, masters of understatement…it's hardly surprising they drifted off the radar.
And yet, when I found this copy of their first album recently, I remembered how fascinated I had been with Peter Saville's sleeve design when I found it in the 'C' section at Kays Records & Tapes all those years ago…how I felt drawn to it, but always seemed to have something more important to buy with my pocket money. I did eventually buy their third album, "Flaunt The Imperfection", which I enjoyed, then forgot about, then rediscovered recently.
"Difficult Shapes…" captures the group in their naive, yet cautiously probing, early days, resulting in at least one classic semi-hit, "Christian", though I've been thoroughly enjoying the whole album. I like a lot of the popular music that emerged in the immediate wake of Punk; a period when the industry allowed and fostered the creative autonomy of earnest young men with a desire to reinvent pop in their own image. Despite some of the typical sonic-signifiers of the era, including the dreaded fretless bass, I think this album still stands-up to close scutiny in a way that many other more well-remembered acts of the period fail to.

So here I am waiting impatiently for the hour to pass until Ray comes to get me for our "BIG u/s"! Gosh it seems so ominous when written like that.
I am just trying not to let my blood pressure go up. I know the chances are that everything is perfectly fine with the baby and that really the only thing I have to think about is whether I'll be more excited if baby is a boy or a girl. But naturally I have to make myself fret so I can feel like I am doing something...
The appointment is at 2pm but they won't take me in until 2:30 effectively making me stress even harder for even longer. Ray keeps telling me that everything with baby is perfect and that there is nothing to worry about. He also knows that by saying that it doesn't help but he says it anyway.
I shouldn't even be remotely worried because if any of my tests had come back positive for anything I am sure the Doc would have called. Then again, maybe not. I went 3 weeks with Group B Strep before the Ob finally said "did you take the antibiotics that were prescribed to you?" and I said "what?" and she said "for the group b strep, didn't someone call you?" -"uh no" but that wasn't a big deal (going the extra few weeks since it wasn't an active infection but rather "colinization"). A positive NT scan or triple screen would probably warrant a phone call at least. I would hope. The NT scan results were fine and she waited to tell me those results at my last appt.
So really this is just a routine "baby looks good" exam and the "you are having a..." exam. The u/s everyone but me seems to look forward to. Naturally I am curious about why I still look the same way I did at 12weeks now at 18weeks (is the baby growing right or what). The only slightly reassuring thing is that from time to time I can feel the baby moving around in there.
Well, keep us in your thoughts today ladies. Pray it's all "perfect" just like Ray says.

Operation "Phone call to Chrissy" attempt #1 failed miserably tonight. I'll make attempt #2 tomorrow. It's breakfast for dinner tomorrow, so it should be relatively easy to get it made, eaten and cleaned up in a reasonable time frame. I can't wait to chew your ear off about the Bradley Method.

Hey,you are not from the Mars!
Though, I personally believe that content is the king in any Television production,minimum production quality should be maintained.I,here like to mention the shows based on crime in local TV stations in Calcutta.Everyday,one of such shows closes with uninterrupted praise for their Anchor-producer-Director(all rolled into one)-projected as crusader who fights for justice.Though the show became popular,I personally don't like their presentation.Anchor as well as reporters are basically arrogant,disrespectful.They often cross their journalistic ethics.To cover these type of sensitive stories,one should avoid usual equipments such as tripods and lighting instruments.So that,subjects can forget about camera's presence.To shoot in the environment friendly situation,subjects can express themselves naturally.You don't behave like a crusader.Whether hard news or soft news,tell the story visually.Local crime-investigative shows follow the same pattern.In 30 minute show,they drag a single story-sometimes,viewers feel irritated-bored.If we have enough footages-cutaways,various angle shots( according to vetern news videographer Angela Grant, always try to get at least four shots of every single thing you want to shoot.),we can create impact in mere 180 seconds or 240 seconds.We can easily put 3-4 stories in 30 minutes format.We should be cautious to cover a sensitive story like someone who has just lost his or her loved one or an accused person or one who has been an eyewitness to a tragedy.The question that a senior Journalist ask for himself is how do I do it and still retain my journalistic ethics.Don't ever shoot anybody without his or her permission-I agree with others that this strategy doesn't apply to most other situations,but I myself apply this strategy where emotions are running high and the person whose visuals we want to take,is an ordinary person not a public figure. After all we are not here to merely make a living.One should believe in the mission of journalism.
Before every assignment,I feel the urge to follow the procedures mentioned by Radio & Television News Directors Association(RTNDA)such as:
What is the role of video in the story?Does it bring real value?
Is it necessary to use a hidden camera in this story?why?
Does the story involve insignificant Private matters(even if emotional)or are there matters of vital public concern,prevention of profound harm or system failure?
Is the rationale for the story simply to win a prize or beat the competition?
Do your motives involve getting the story quickly and cheaply,rationalizing that others have done it or that the story subjects themselves unethical?
Are hidden-cameras to be used primarily to create drama?Can a visible camera be used with the same impact?
Have you used all traditional means to investigate the story,including interviews and reviewing public records and documents?
What happens if the reporters cover is blown?
Can a reporter lie to maintain his cover?
What happens if the reporter sees a crime being committed?
Where will the camera be used in a public place?quasi Public? Private home?
Will the reporter enter private property without consent or owners to tape?
Will editing be allowed to alter contents?
Though this guidelines are adopted by an American organisation keeping in mind the American perspective and legal system, but I think that Investigative Reporters of other countries who use hidden cameras-spy cams regularly, should follow these guidelines because we in India don't have any watch dog like print media.

Weekly Wisdom #8
Motivational Monday – "The greatest events that have been spoken of by all of the Holy Prophets will come along so naturally as the consequences of certain causes, that unless our eyes are enlightened by the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Revelation rests upon us, we will fail to see that these are the events predicted by the Holy Prophets." George Q. Canon
Elder L Tom Perry, 1995 "I believe it is time, and perhaps with some urgency, to review the counsel we have received in dealing with our personal and family preparedness….We have been instructed to follow at least four requirements in preparing for that which is to come. Gain an adequate education. Live within your income. Avoid unnecessary debt, and store a reserve of food and supplies…..As long as I can remember, we have been taught to prepare for the future and to obtain a year supply of necessities. I would guess that the years of plenty have almost universally caused us to set aside this counsel. I believe the time to disregard this counsel is over. With events in the world today, it must be considered with all seriousness."
Timely Tuesday – Today is a day to think and make a list. What I am going to do today is write a list of all of the skills I believe my children will need in the future. And then attempt to check off that list as I teach them. I believe that our days of "normal" education are no longer adequate for the lives our children will live. They need to have real life skills, survival skills, back to basic type skills, as well as education, high tech skills, and low tech skills. Skills to deal with economic trials, and leadership skills. I do not like to knock the public school systems, but the reality is, they don't teach all of these kinds of things to our children, and we as parents have that responsibility to do so. So today make that list, think into the future of your kids / grandchildren and try to imagine what they may need to know, (I know that is a tough one) and then get to work teaching. Make use of those family home evenings, and any teaching moment. Teaching something is also the best way to really learn it.
Workin' Wednesday – Today check your 72 hour kits for comfort foods and entertainment. Comfort foods are not life saving items, but in an emergency they may very well be. It is so important that we have familiar items in our kits, not only for our children but ourselves. Something that will help to take our mind off of the emergency situation and relieve stress. Comfort foods and entertainment will help to do this. Your comfort foods may include some form of chocolate, salty snacks, gum, hard candy, something that has a decent shelf life to sit in your kit and not spoil. Entertainment could include coloring books and crayons, card games, puzzle books, magazines, or anything that the person using the kit really likes. Remember to keep the foods and entertainment light weight, but remember to get them in there!
Thrifty Thursday – Learning how to make food from scratch, or from your food storage has several benefits:
It is definitely healthier for you, no preservatives
It will save you lots of money, you can make something for pennies, or buy it for dollars!
It will cause you to rotate your food storage
You and your family will learn before a crisis hits, how to use your storage and actually enjoy it. Then when the time comes to use it, your bodies won't suffer from the switch over.
Today make something from scratch, like flour tortillas. The biggest thrifty, money saver for most people is learning to cook at home, rather than eating out. So look through those thrifty recipes and make something from food storage items today. And then come to the Wonderful Wheat class tonight!
Food Storage Friday – President Kimball has said, "Preparedness, when properly pursued, is a way of life, not a sudden spectacular program."
Did you know that included in our food storage should be bedding, clothing, medical supplies, garden seeds, lighting sources, and fuel sources, to name a few.
Today is the day to check your alternate fuel sources. Your utilities could easily be interrupted during a natural disaster, but food must still be cooked, dishes must be washed, people must be bathed and kept warm. The families that have sources of fuel in their "food storage" will be much better prepared than those who ignore this counsel. Today would be a good day to check your fuel sources and see what needs updating. How about making sure your propane tanks are all full for the winter, that way you could use your barbecues. Think of ways you could cook, clean and stay warm if electricity was unavailable, and get them organized today. Winter is here! Don't be caught off guard.
Some ideas, candles, matches, lighters, light sticks, small cook / heat stoves, kerosene and lanterns, flashlights, hand/feet/body warmers, propane, generators (stored fuel), fuel for any alternate sources you have,

I just read Opal…I finished it yesterday morning. I have never read such an amazing book in my life.never.ever.never.ever. I don't think you guys understand how URGENT it is for you to read this book. Like…you seriously don't understand.
That book was one of the best 8 hours of my life (exception of nature's calls). Did I even stop to eat? Nope I don't think I did because it was FLIPPING PANCAKES AMAZING. Like…I SERIOUSLY cannot translate this awesomeness into words. You just have to read it.my brain is sooooooo in the zone because right after I finished Opal I started Origin. And Origin…holy smokes.
I started this blog to share my love of fiction and books. The only way I can share this series because rhwres no explaining its aweaowneaa, is FOE you to trust this awesome stranger (me), go to your nearest library and check out Obsidian, Onyx, Opal, Origin and Opposition. ALL AT TRlHE SAME TIME if you don't want to deal with the torture of WAITING.
I have to admit, Opal and Origin have a bit more…high school language and uh…issues of you know what I mean (the language isn't prevalent and there was only 1 profanity in Opal. And issues as in sexual stuff but it's not details or anything so it's all good. Origin has a bit more profanities but I haven't gotten through with it so I don't know about other things). But characters:
Daemon: Still amazing and he knows it. His ego level seems to amp up every time there's a threat or problem. But I feel like in Opal we see a different side of him. The strong, selfless yet extremely arrogant and egotistical warrior is just another being that wants to protect his family and those he loves and make them happy. He's so sweet and even though it's shown in Onyx and Obsidian, we don't really know how sweet he is until we've read Opal. Also he had proven to be just a bit overprotective of his family and Kat, especially Kat even from herself. He tries his best to be supportive not only physically (giving strength, healing her) but also mentally (holding, wise words, letting her spend time with her mom) and even though he doesn't know how to deal with most of Katy's crying situations, he does his best. And I think it's a new side of him, definitely that makes readers, me especially like him more. But as Katy would say, "Daemon doesn't need anymore reminders of how awesome he is. I don't know if there's any limits to his ego."
Dee: I have to say Dee made me want to stop reading the book. She made me ANGRY. In Obsidia in and even Onyx she wasmy favorite character, next to Katy and Daemon. She was sweet and amazing and I just loved that she shone a bit of light into Katy's life even through everything she was drawn in. See had never had a friend and Katy…she was broken. They were perfect and they were amazing. They were like sister soulmates. But after (————–SPOILER——-) Adams death, she turned rude, mean and made it clear she would never forgive Katy even though KATY WAS TORTURED AND TRIED TO PROTECT HER. I understood though at the beginning because Dee was completely torn apart by Adams death. And she was having a hard time thinking about why Katy never told her her training sessions with Blake or what was going on with her and why she started ignoring her. It was hard for her because she lost her best friend, and then her boyfriend because of her best friend. But it wasn't Katy's fault.
Anyway, Dee went from being sympathetic on my part to being rude. EVEN when they had to go through the EVERYTHING in Opal still…but at the very end, old Dee came through and I was proud. She was struggling…and Everything was going on, no one had time to really comfort her, be her friend except Ash and Andrew but…I'm not sure about those two yet. And yet she was trying enough to come around and try to start the process of mending her friendship with Katy by meeting her halfway. I love Dee so much more now I don't even know how it's possible. I'm sure in Opposition she and See would be the power duo again !!!!
Dawson: He's character usually just spoken about in Obsidia and appeared at the end of Onyx but his personality in Opal was a bit misleading. As you know if you've read Obsidia and Onyx, you can't go through what the DOD and Daelaous put you through without losing a tad bit of your soul. Well…maybe not your soul but if youself. Well, that happened to Dawson. The boy usually described as the opposite of Daemon, identical but with a friendly, much charismatic personality usllt didn't speak more than w words. And when he did, he was talking about Beth and figuring out how to save her. But through that you could see just what a great character he was. His friendship with Katy I think will be something special in the next book. I have to say though of all the Blacks, Daemon, Dawson and Dee have IMMENSE determination when they want something. Dawson couldn't stand the thought of Beth suffering and he managed to easy Daemon, with Katy's help, to get Beth back. He's pretty awesome too. Except he doesn't brag about it like his brother.
Blake: Blake. I liked him. I still kind of so. I think the way Katy treated him at the last end of the book when she realized he was the one coming through her window at night and not Daemon. Yes, he did what he had to do and she did the same. And so did Daemon. And yes, they're different. But Blake…I think he was a good character. Everyone was changed by Daedelius. But the different between him and the others was that they had someone to go back to, someone they loved, family. Blake had nothing. He had something to gain, one person, Chris. And when Chris was safe, nothing. His actions were inexcusable but they were unserstable. Daemon and Katy need to realize that. Desperate times call for desperate measures, that's what he did. Deal on and Katy should understand that the most.
Carissa: I just thought I would make this for her…just for her because…like Katy said she had nothing to do with what was going on. But I remember someone telling me once then during war, the people most affected are the children and those that have absolutely nothing to do with it. Carissa had nothing to do with whatever conflict was going on But she spontaneously combusted. R.I.P good character…
Luc: I thought, what the hay. He helped everyone out in Opal even though he was a bit weird. He's hiding something and he knows a lot. I guess we'll find out more in Origin or Opposition. But I like him. He's the definition of what to do if you want to live: trust no one, think of yourself only, and always have a way out. But that's not the way to live. But still, I like him. He's a selfmade man. Even though what he made was a bit…inappropriate. Especially for "a kid". But hey, fiction is fiction.
Katy: Last but not least, the star. 3 words. Katy has changed. Read Opal for more information 😛
So that's all. I really highly recommend you start reading these series like now, today, soon as possible. Go!!! I'll get back to Origin now xD

You're gay.
And that's a scary thing.
Scary because no one has told you that it doesn't get better. Not really, anyway. You're holding out for epiphany.
But your life will have its share of ups and downs, because being gay doesn't excuse you from the realities of being a human. People who you thought were your friends may stop talking to you, your parents may kick you out, and you might shake at the prospect of giving up your virginity. You might have to feel something. I know, because I did and have.
And you will feel a lot. As I've mentioned before, there is no one way to be gay, and I don't think your sexuality is something that defines you wholly. But because there is no manual or infographic, not everything will go right. And that's okay. But you will suffer.
And really, that's okay. I'm…

EU Internal Market
One of the most substantial attainments of the European integration is the EU internal market where common rules facilitating trade, investments and cross-border movement of persons are applied. Development of the internal market is an on-going process within the remit of EU institutions and Member States.
Coordination of the implementation of the EU internal market policy is among the tasks of the Ministry of Economy.
The EU Internal Market Coordination Division carries out the following activities:
- in cooperation with other state's institutions and bodies coordinates the contribution of the Republic of Lithuania into the EU policy making in the area of horizontal issues of the internal market;
- in cooperation with other state's institutions and bodies responsible for specific EU internal market fields coordinates the implementation of the EU internal market policy;
- coordinates the policy making and implementation of the EU policy in the area of free movement of goods;
- is a National IMI coordinator and oversees the overall deployment and smooth functioning of IMI in Lithuania;
- performs the functions of the Lithuanian SOLVIT centre in addressing problems which are faced by economic entities and citizens due to the lack of proper functioning of the EU internal market.

Book Review: Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh
Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh
Psy/Changeling series Book 3
A strong-willed, violated changeling wolf. An elite exiled Psy assassin. Two people touched with darkness will find the light together.
The third book in Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series, Caressed by Ice is about Judd Lauren and Brenna Shane Kinkaid, two characters we have met in the previous books. Brenna, after surviving the brutal kidnapping and torture she had suffered under the hands of the Psy Concil Member Enrique Santana, is now in the process of mending. However, her dreams are plagued with dark visions and her self-confidence shattered by her inability to shift fully into wolf form, she seeks solace and comfort in the most unlikely place, in the company of Judd Lauren.
Judd Lauren, renegade Arrow, is a Psy, cold, emotionless, pitiless. With his own mysterious past and powerful abilities, he knew he should stay away from Brenna. The leashing of his dark talents and the safety of everyone he loves lie in his ability to maintain Silence. But Brenna's presence tempts him to test his limits and makes him want things he shouldn't even crave.
Now, with a killer gunning for Brenna, attacks against changeling packs, and a program called Protocol 1 about to be launched, Judd has his hands full. But his greatest challenge would lie in the biggest step he will take: can he break silence and claim Brenna as his?
I love, love this book. I don't know how Nalini Singh is able to make a character like Judd, cold, emotionally unavailable and still make him hot and sexy. Brenna and Judd are great characters. I like the development of their relationship, so sweet and poignant. I like Judd's quiet steadiness, Brenna's stubborn strength, and most especially the powerful, almost inexplicable attraction between two unlike individuals who has fostered a strange friendship that will metamorphosed into a true bonding that will be their salvation.
I highly recommend this book to anybody who likes sci-fi/fantasy romance.

And I got confused by those who don't. I would occasionally people who would just be happy taking a few tablets each day that meet all their nutritional requirements and stops them being hungry. Only meet as I do like food and could never understand them and really develop a friendship with them.
Food for me is how I bond with others, Growing up food was how you celebrated events. For your birthday you could choose your birthday cake (from the Woman's Weekly of course, and the other one with the pool cake in it. When older we had the other woman's weekly cake books), and a three course birthday dinner. And even though we are all adults (many with kids of their own) we still do this (well maybe just two course dinners and spouses cooking the meal rather than mum). If something sad happened we would also share food. Now, when feeling down, I find just the act of cooking cheering. Eating food doesn't actually help (maybe it would it I was around more appreciated people more often).
So these people who rather take a tablet rather than eat, confused me. It was like they were being purposefully anti-social.
Then I started to exercise more. By exercise I mean lifting/pulling/dragging heavy things around. And I was starving. I would need to eat a second breakfast and perhaps a second dinner as well. It was just too much food. I still like food, but I couldn't mindfully eat that amount of food (as apposed to unmindful snacking and eating 500g of almonds over two days).
To mindfully eat, you want to consider the flavours and textures. The origin of your food and the nutrients. Have dedicated time to eat. To do this for an extra few meals a day was too tiring. I would end up eating the same thing repetitively and get bored with my food. I would resort to buying prepare food that would flare up some of my intolerances, just to have something where I didn't need to think.
Now I understand a bit more why some people rather have a tablet than food. And I just scull down a protein shake after the gym.

So a friend of mine that lives down in Provo just happened to find a CPC Euphoria XC frame for sale on the KSL classifieds. As luck would have it, it had never been used. This is the mountain bike I designed about 12 or 13 years ago. I can't believe he found one that had never been used. As far as I know, only a couple examples were made of each model. So given that, and their age. It's crazy cool that he found it. Well, he bought it to be his race bike. I honestly have no idea how it compares to modern race bikes. The Euphoria XC is the cross country version I designed.
As you can see, it is in excellent shape. Well, my friend decided to build it up and race it. I am stoked. Last I heard, he said it performed very well, and he really liked it. Here's a shot of the assembled bike.
I have already mentioned this bike before. You can read about it here. So I won't go into design details.
So when my friend notified me that he had bought this mountain bike, it got me all excited. Seeing my designs being enjoyed by real people in real life is my favorite part of designing anything. If I can't see people using it, it takes all the fun out of designing it. So since I got all excited I decided to try and find more info on these bikes and see if anyone else had any information on them. I knew it would be a tough task given the crazy low production volume. But I struck gold. I found the blog of the guy I mentioned in my other post that was helping to design this bike. Check out Devin's blog over here.
Devin had some pictures of the long travel version of the bike called the Euphoria LT. I don't think it was his bike, just one he knew of. But you can see the difference in the rocker arms for the shock. IIRC, he mentioned having his own LT and said the rear was good, but a little flexible compared to newer designs. Anyway, here are the pictures of that bike.

Cards for all Occasions
A friend of mine hosted a crafting party today and showed us how to make these adorable cards using Stampin' Up! paper products and scrapbooking tools.
Crafting parties are a great way to spend time with friends and by having a project pre-designed and ready to go, everyone was able to participate equally regardless of artistic ability and we all went home with two practical creations.

Plan didn't originally include coupe model, VW says.
In an interview with Autocar, Volkswagen confirmed it will bring out three versions of the next-gen Tiguan by 2018.
"We are planning to introduce a whole family of Tiguan models in coming years," said Jochen Böhle, product development chief for VW's compact cars. "Tiguan has developed into a sub-brand, and we intend to build on it."
While the first-gen Tiguan might not have been a huge sales hit in the U.S., over 2.6 million units have been sold worldwide since its debut. For the second-gen model, all three versions will sit on the Golf's MQB platform and will be offered in both front- and all-wheel-drive variants.
Volkswagen debuted a new standard-wheelbase Tiguan at the Frankfurt auto show last year. That model will go on sale in global markets this year. In the U.S., we'll receive a long-wheelbase version boasting room for seven passengers by 2017. As we previously heard, VW is also cooking up a Tiguan coupe, which will hit global markets by 2018.
The automaker hadn't always planned to build a coupe version, the automaker said, but Volkswagen brand chairman Herbert Diess remains one of the biggest proponents behind the car. The model could lend a sportier image to the Tiguan lineup, especially if VW goes along with rumored plans to introduce an R version. The automaker could bring out a Tiguan Coupe R with a 2.0-liter gas engine tuned similarly to the Golf R, which churns out 292 hp.

For the past 3 years we kept two separate blogs and social media platforms to share the news coming from our Center for Drug Information and Natural Products.
We have made a decision to merge the posts from our Drug Information and Natural Products divisions to provide you with more comprehensive news and updates.

text: Carolyn Elegant at MyShingle.com has a post closely related to my recent entry on Social Media and Family Law. Her main point is that lawyers can scoff at "social media" all they want, but it's here to stay and if lawyers don't understand it, they can't properly advise their clients on how to avert disaster. It's worth a read. See here.

experiment the eye
We enjoyed discovering the different internal structures of an eye ball from a pig. We cut away at it and photographed our findings. We discovered an interesting transition from when the eye ball looked like something solid and whole to after we cut into it and how it transformed into something fluid and delicate but also dark and cloudy. We believe the way we perceive our surroundings and the state of seeing is important in how we interpret what wellington will be like in 2040.

From the start of the season through the finish, Celia Ramsey was a strong, steadying force, a team player, a leader.
She also was very consistent.
For that reason, Ramsey has been named the Wisconsin State Journal/WisconsinPrepZone.com All-Area Gymnast of the Year for the 2016-2017 season.
Ramsey was named Big Eight Conference Gymnast of the Year, even though she finished second in the all-around to Sun Prairie's Paige Millard in the conference meet, scoring 36.175 points to the Cardinals senior's score of 36.675.
Ramsey qualified for state and placed 13th in the Division 1 field, scoring 36.283 points. She took third on the uneven bars (9.267), tied teammate Tyra Turner for seventh in vaulting (9.417) and was 10th on uneven bars and 22nd on balance beam.
Ramsey was one of a few area gymnasts considered for the top honor. Also considered:
• Madeline Pflasterer-Jennerjohn, a senior from Middleton. She was forced to miss most of the season due to a serious ankle sprain that sidelined her until February. But she returned to become the only area athlete to win an individual title at the WIAA state meet, taking first in Division 1 on the uneven bars (9.3 points). She also took 12th in all-around with 36.317 points and took 12th in floor exercise and vaulting.
• Krista Taylor, a junior from Mount Horeb. The Badger Conference all-around champ went on to lead the Vikings to a third-place team finish in the Division 2 state meet. She took sixth individually in all-around (35.483), fourth in floor exercise (9.383) and seventh on balance beam (8.917).
• Tyra Turner, a junior from Madison East/La Follette. Turner finished ahead of Ramsey by a hair in the Division 1 state all-around, scoring 36.733 points, and finished fifth in floor exercise (9.4), tied for seventh in vaulting (9.417) and was eighth on uneven bars (9.167).
Coach of the Year
A season after being named a national coach of the year by the National Federation of High Schools, Martha Koller Faust led Mount Horeb to a sixth consecutive Badger Conference title and a third-place finish in the WIAA Division 2 state meet.
As a result, Koller Faust has been named the All-Area Coach of the Year for the 2016-2017 season.
Scoreboard: All-area gymnastics team. B7

Fatty fish can be a good source of vitamin D. Common options include salmon, trout, mackerel, tuna, and eel.
Fish eggs are high in the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, and they are also rich sources of vitamin B-12. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for proper brain function and heart health, and they help reduce inflammation in the body that can lead to chronic disease. Vitamin B-12 is another brain-boosting nutrient, and it also helps the body metabolize food into energy. One ounce of salmon roe contains 1,096 milligrams of total omega-3, with 438 milligrams of EPA and 514 milligrams of DHA. That's more than the 1 gram daily recommended for heart health by the American Heart Association. One ounce of whitefish caviar contains 15.8 micrograms of B-12 -- a whopping 263 percent of the daily value.
Fish eggs, such as the large salmon roe you might be served at a sushi restaurant or the tiny black pearls of caviar often served on a blini with creme fraiche, are off the menu for many people who haven't acquired the taste. But daring palates that savor the salty flavor and unique texture of fish eggs are also getting a potent boost of nutrients, including vitamin B-12 and omega-3 fatty acids. However, like all good things, fish eggs should be eaten in moderation because they are high in sodium and cholesterol.Vitamin K In Fish, Salmon, Coho, Wild, Raw | INRTracker 8 Salmon Nutrition Facts & Proven Benefits - Dr. Axe
It has been suggested that the major source of vitamin D should come from dietary sources and not sun exposure. However, the major fortified dietary source of vitamin D is milk which often doesn't contain at least 80% of what is stated on the label. Fish has been touted as an excellent source of vitamin D especially oily fish including salmon and mackerel. Little is known about the effect of various cooking conditions on the vitamin D content in fish. We initiated a study and evaluated the vitamin D content in several species of fish and also evaluated the effect of baking and frying on the vitamin D content. Surprisingly, farmed salmon had approximately 25% of the vitamin D content as wild salmon had. The vitamin D content in fish varied widely even within species. These data suggest that the tables that list the vitamin D content are out-of-date and need to be re-evaluated.Little is known about the effect of cooking on the vitamin D content in fish. When farm salmon was baked, almost all of the vitamin D content, i.e. 240 IU of vitamin D3 was recovered from 3.5 oz. of salmon. The initial concentration in the uncooked salmon was 245 IU of vitamin D3. However, when the salmon was fried in vegetable oil, approximately 50% (123 IU of vitamin D3 was recovered.)

This is good news for our energy-hub wantin' to be city. Here's more from the Associated Press and The Charlotte Observer:
Gov. Bev Perdue has awarded $8.5 million in federal stimulus funds to 43 public and private agencies and organizations -- 14 in the Charlotte region -- to promote energy conservation and use of renewable fuels.
The grants were given to local government, private industry and other organizations.
In addition to promoting energy conservation, the grants also are designed to create new jobs. North Carolina has distributed about 90 percent of the federal stimulus money it received for energy conservation use.
The grants were in three different area -- Main Street projects, which need at least 50 percent fund matching from other sources; Commercial Renewables Initiatives; and Energy Efficiency for Commercial, Industrial and Nonprofits.
Read the rest of this article, by Steve Lyttle, to find out who and what the grants are going to.

When finishing up my first year of university I started to look back on the memories and memories that I have made and the accomplishments that I am proud of. There are many things that I have done this year that pushed me further away from my goal and there are also many things that are helping me to achieve my goals and aspirations.
Some rewarding experiences that I had during my first year at TrentU Durham are:
- The Pen Pals program: This program showed me what my true goals and aspirations are when it comes to a career. By working with the elementary school students it helped me to realize that it would be an incredible job to be able to work with students. Working with kids has always been a dream job to me but now I will be perusing that. If that isn't a rewarding experience then I am no sure what is.
- Living at Home: Many of my friends have gone off to live in residence for college or various universities whether they are in the province or not, and have found that it is not easy to live with a stranger or by yourself. Their parents have to drive them back and forth from school to home when they want to come back for a weekend or a break, and do so many other things for them. But living at home has opened my eyes to how much my parents and family do for me, from my mom doing my laundry to my dad cooking dinner and even my brother helping me succeed in the things that I do. It was a rewarding experience because I became more appreciative.
- Friendships: Personally, the most rewarding university experience was realizing that having an endless number of friends is not the most important thing. Having a small circle of friends always works best. This year, at the beginning of the year I started to worry because I didn't have that many friends, I later realized that everyone is busy worrying about themselves and they don't always worry about you first. I finished the year with a group of about 10 people and about 4 really close friends that I talked to on a daily basis and I could not be happier about that. They are the kind of friendships that I will never take for granted.
- Financial Status: Paying for schooling whether you are going to be a doctor, teacher or even a massage therapist is not cheap. Paying for my own textbooks and education was an eye opening experience. It showed me that I need to be smarter with my money and cannot just throw it away all willy nilly. It taught me to learn how to be wiser with my money and how to save for certain things that I need rather than want.
My first year of university has definitely been something that I will not forget. It has taught me lessons and shown me that I have so much potential, that the list of things that I can do in this world is endless. Although there are good days and bad, at the end of the day university has been one of the most rewarding experiences.

For the last two weeks, the girls have been taking swimming lessons and it has been quite a success! My mom was nice enough to agree to come with me so that we could put both girls in the "Mom and Me" class. Paris is crazy in the water and has absolutely no fear, but at least now she can back into the pool while hanging onto the wall instead of just running straight in and going under! Savannah has always been pretty timid in the water but by the end of our lessons she got brave enough to put enough of her face in to be able to blow bubbles and she was doing a great back float as well! The girls love to go to the pool and it was really nice to be able to get in with them every day and cool off in this horribly hot weather we've been having!
