"Referendum likely on same-sex marriage law."
That is the Washington Post's astounding headline concerning the homosexual marriage issue in Maryland.
Why astounding?
Because Maryland law requires that if any issue is to be put on the ballot for voters' approval or disapproval, it must have 55,736 signatures.
And while Maryland is Democrat-dominated with regard to its governor and both houses of its state Legislature, supporters of the referendum to repeal same-sex marriage have already obtained 113,000 signatures.
That number means that it is surely more than "likely" (as the Post reported) that this issue will be on the November ballot.
The Post also reported:
"A coalition of religious leaders and conservatives organized to oppose gay marriage said weeks ago that they would easily beat Maryland's first deadline on Thursday to file more than 18,000 signatures.
"But with two days to go, opponents said, President Obama's recent announcement that he supports same-sex marriage appeared to have had the effect of invigorating not only supporters but also those opposed.
"The Maryland Marriage Alliance, the group leading the charge to overturn the state's same-sex marriage law, said that since Obama's pronouncement – and since leaders of the NAACP followed suit – opponents in Maryland have seen a surge in the number of residents seeking to put gay marriage to a statewide vote.
"'When President Obama and the NAACP came out and they wanted to support this issue, well, great, we appreciate that because you help encourage our (side),' said Derek McCoy, the group's executive director.
"The Alliance on Tuesday filed more than twice the 55,736 signatures needed to qualify the measure for the ballot, and McCoy said the group was on pace to turn in well in excess of its goal of 150,000 signatures by the end of June.
"'People that were on the fence are no longer on the fence; they're engaged … countless thousands of Marylanders around this state want to see marriage go on the ballot. But they also want to see it defined and upheld between one man and one woman,' he said."
The Washington Times reported:
"On Tuesday, Mr. McCoy was flanked by volunteers and community and religious leaders who heralded the signatures as a sign that the majority of Marylanders are ready to join the more than 30 states that have rejected gay marriage in statewide votes.
"Petition organizers said they had gotten strong support from all ethnic and political groups, as well as more than 10,000 signatures from each of at least five counties.
"They also cast doubt on recent polls and arguments from gay-marriage supporters who say Americans are becoming more accepting of gay marriage and that Maryland could this year become the first state to legalize it in the referendum."
The Post quoted Kevin Nix, a spokesman for Marylanders for Marriage Equality, who said his group would not rule out court challenges to the signatures, if merited. But he said supporters of same-sex marriage have always been focused on winning at the ballot in November.
Reported the Post: "With the help of online signature gathering, November will be the first time in 20 years that a petition drive has forced a vote on a Maryland law. … Same-sex marriage has failed in popular votes in a majority of the states."

Volume level continuously changes
I have been struggling with trying to find a fix for this for a long time now. I have searched various forums and tried the couple suggestions that seemed to be offered for similar issues but nothing has worked. I have no other serious issues with W7 but this is REALLY annoying and making me want to re-install XP.
Regardless of what I'm doing my volume level continuously changes. It's too loud..then too quiet. Sometimes it's fine for long periods then other times it changes every 5-10 seconds. It does this all on it's own with me doing NOTHING! I have tried putting the setting in the sound communications tab to "do nothing" and have also disabled all sound effects in the speaker properties to eliminate that loudness equalization option but nothing has worked. This also happens in a wide variety of programs so I doubt this is an application problem. It happens in several games, it happens watching Youtube videos and happens randomly with any number of websites with sound. It goes so quiet I can't hear so I turn it up..then 10 seconds later the volume goes back to where it was and blasts my eardrums out. I can't keep the volume at a steady level and it's DRIVING ME INSANE! Hlep!
BTW, I'm using W7 64 bit with onboard Realtek HD sound. I should also have all updated drivers as far as I know. Anyone have any info on this?
|My System Specs
|26 Jun 2010
I'm also experiencing this problem.
I'm not sure if it's the drivers problem or the recent update for RealTek Drivers.
It gets really frustrating, plus given the fact my computer recently crashes and restarts randomly ever since I updated my realtek driver.
RealTek and/or Microsoft needs to address these sound issues ASAP.
I know I'm not the only that wishes not to upgrade to Windows 7 if I knew the problems and issues that were going to come with them.

Windows 7
Yes, I am having the exact same problem. I uploaded a video of it for others to help identify what the problem is.
The issue is that the sliders are moving up and down automatically, causing the sound levels to change by themselves. It's VERY annoying, and I'm hoping somebody will be able to find a fix.

Well, just so you don;t think noone is paying attention...
There is a feature where windows will mute sounds by 80% if it thinks you are getting an incoming telephone call. If comething were confusing that... You can turn that off by right clicking your speaker icon and selecting "Communications" and "Do Nothing". See if that stops it.
|My System Specs

Like I said in the OP..I have already set that to "do nothing" but it hasn't helped.
|My System Specs
|29 Jun 2010
Hmm, ok I missed that. But there may be some other piece of "smart" software like Skype or something that is also messing with the volume when it really shouldn't be :/
Some drivers also have a loudness control or volume leveling feature but I don't think that is a default Windows feature, at least I can't find it now but I remember seeing it once.
Other than that it almost sounds like a prank virus or something

Same problem here. Exactly as cpro described. I've also changed the telephone setting to do nothing but no help. I have Asus p5q-vm do motherboard with VIA VT1705 6 -Channel High Definition Audio and I've tried every driver I have found. I've also tried without drivers (with windows "default" drivers) but no luck. I use the computer to watch tv so this problem is really getting to my nerves. I haven't played any games or used the computer to anything else so I can't really say does the problem occur on any other situation. I had XP on the same system before with the same TV-program (DvbViewer) and I didn't have any problems. Please help.

LOS ANGELES -- When is a no-hitter not a no-hitter?
Mark Gardner of the Montreal Expos will spend the rest of his career wondering about that after holding the Dodgers hitless for nine innings last night before giving up two hits in the 10th to lose, 1-0.
Before a crowd of 38,957, Gardner became the first opposing pitcher to throw nine innings of a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium . . . but the fourth opposing pitcher to lose a game there this week.

Build Guide by Prush

Galio Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
With this build, Galio starts with 87 magic resist and 44 AP, making it difficult for enemies to push you at early levels without suffering major damage (especially mages). They normally back away quickly. I build Guardian Angel first for survivability, and both armor and even more magic resist (more AP). Your next items will depend on the team you are facing and more importantly early game the champions you are laning against.
If the lane enemies are caster heavy go with Abyssal Scepter or Banshee's Veil, if they are melee/dps/tank, go with Sunfire Capes. If the team is balanced I mix it up, first going with the items that would most benefit facing the enemies in my lane, then the others.
- If the team has a lot of stuns/snares, I would go with Banshee's Veil first after Guardian Angel.
- If the team has high dps champions, go for Sunfire Capes after Guardian Angel.
I go with Clarity and Teleport because it helps me stay in lane much longer as I can alternate between Clarity and Teleport for mana while not losing any valuable early game experience. The down side is if you get ganked, your are pretty much dead unless you see it coming and can get away in time. If you prefer to go with Flash/Ghost/Cleanse, that's your preference. To use Clarity and Teleport you must watch the mini map and be aware of missing enemy champions. If I have the gold sometimes I buy sight/vision wards to place in the river and nearby jungles.

SOURCE: Volkswagen Group of America
August 06, 2014 14:40 ET
TRAVERSE CITY, MI--(Marketwired - August 06, 2014) - As vehicle connectivity and advanced assistance systems become a ubiquitous part of today's driving experience, researchers at Volkswagen Group's Electronics Research Laboratory (ERL) are developing intuitive forms of communications between driver, car and the external environment. ERL researchers are leveraging three elements crucial for connected driving -- the car, mobile devices and cloud.
"The end-to-end user experience is the key success factor to providing more connected intelligence services to our customers," said Chuhee Lee, Deputy Director, Volkswagen Group of America, Electronics Research Laboratory. "This means being in touch with customers in and out of the car using cloud and connected devices, and ultimately designing a vehicle capable of learning, predicting, and adapting to drivers' needs and wishes."
More future Volkswagen Group vehicles will offer technologies that seamlessly integrate smart phone applications and enable connected navigation with real-time map images and updates. The navigation systems would also mimic the expertise of a driving companion, familiar with both the driver and destination.
As part of Audi's Intelligent Urban Mobility initiative, ERL researchers are also developing vehicle intelligence technologies that enable cars to identify the preferences and individual needs of drivers. For example, vehicles would connect to the cloud and understand the driver's location, how it affects the driver's mobility, and will provide assistance to the driver's specific needs, such as routing the driver to an available parking spot.
About Volkswagen Group Electronics Research Laboratory (ERL)
Volkswagen Group's Electronics Research Laboratory (ERL), located in Belmont, California represents the Group's applied research and development initiatives in North America.

Alan Tudyk, beloved Firefly star, snagged a role in Transformers 3 -- and from the looks of it, he's getting techy.
Though most info on the film's plot is hazy at best, Tudyk just let loose with some valuable news. The star has revealed to From Hollywood with Love that he'll be playing a government agent in the film alongside John Turturro's Agent Simmons.
"I'm a fellow agent of his that is sort of his assistant and weapons expert, computer hacker, cyber sleuth," said Tudyk.
The Michael Bay film, to be released next summer, is currently filming in Chicago.

The business loan calculator at Mortgagecalculator.org can help business owners determine principal and interest payments, balloon repayments, and interest-only payments, according to First Bank. The number cruncher can also generate monthly amortization schedules. To get results, users should first input details such as loan amount, amortization term in years and annual interest rate into the relevant fields.Continue Reading
Business owners who have qualified for loans backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, can use the commercial loan calculator at FitSmallBusiness.com to estimate monthly repayments and annual interest rates. Designers of this calculator crafted it specifically for the SBA 7A loan, which is the agency's most popular loan program.
Apart from monthly repayments and yearly interest rates, the SBA loan calculator also computes the debt service coverage ratio, a measure that SBA lenders use to gauge a borrower's ability to repay loans, notes FitSmallBusiness.com. Prospective borrowers can manually compute this ratio by dividing their business' yearly net operating income by its annual loans repayments.
Repayment models for commercial loans and residential mortgages are significantly different, according to NerdWallet. Residential mortgages amortize an entire loan over a specified period, while commercial loans have a loan component that borrowers settle monthly and a balloon payment that becomes due at a specific time. Commercial loan calculators can help business owners navigate this maze of figures.Learn more about Business Resources

Summer Events in the Alps 2013
As a fantastic winter season begins to draw to a close most of us won't start thinking about heading back out to the mountains until next winter. However, that's a real missed opportunity to see the ski areas we know so well in a completely different light.
Summer is a great time to visit the Alps, in fact the first tourists to visit these areas were doing so in the summer months, long before the development of snow sports, and now more and more people are re-discovering why it's the perfect destination for a summer holiday.
First of all there is the obvious plus points – stunning mountain scenery, alpine meadows, lush forests, streams, waterfalls and lakes. Many people perhaps don't know that the summer months in the Alps can bring some beautiful weather as well, with glorious sunshine and soaring temperatures.
The range of activities to keep anyone occupied are vast – from hiking to white water rafting, downhill mountain biking to golf, paragliding to a relaxed barbeque on the shores of an alpine lake. You can find out much more information on the activities available by clicking here.
There are a multitude of local events and festivals that happen throughout the summer months, including local music festivals, celebrations of alpine cultures and gastronomy, sporting events and much more. Full listings can normally be found on the websites of the tourist office for the area you plan on visiting.
Here are just a small selection of some of the events taking place this summer that you may be able to build into your holiday.
Mountain Biking Events
Pass'Portes Du Soleil (28-30th June 2013)
This annual event marks the opening of the Portes Du Soleil area for the mountain biking season, with participants covering a vast course taking in the infamous resorts of the Portes Du Soleil such as Morzine, Les Gets, Chateland more.
Mega Avalanche (8-14th July 2013)
One of the most famous mountain bike races in the world! Thousands of competitors tackle a course that runs from the summit to the base of Alpe D'Huez. The course passes through all terrains, including crossing snow and glaciers, before descending into the forest trails lower down the mountain.
Crankwork (6-14th July)
A newer event that celebrates all things mountain bike – with competitions, demonstrations and much more. This event takes place in the resort of Les Deux Alpes.
Events to watch
2013 sees the 100th edition of the Tour De France, which promises to be a spectacle not to be missed, especially after Britain's first ever winner in the race last year, Sir Bradley Wiggins.
The Alps should prove the decisive stages for the race this year as they make up three of the final stages before the ride into Paris.
18th July 2013 – Gap to Alpe D'Huez.
This year sees the iconic 21 bends up to Alpe D'Huez climbed twice, which will be a stern test for everyone!
19th July 2013 – Bourg D'Oissans to Le Grand Bornand.
The race now moves north up through the Alps, with another demanding stage for some very tired riders by now.
20th July 2013 – Annecy
The penultimate stage of this years race and realistically the last opportunity for anyone to stake their claim for the overall win, this difficult stage is based around the picturesque town of Annecy at the northern edge of the Alps.
Rallye Du Mont Blanc (5-7th September 2013)
If you prefer your racing with an engine, than maybe this is more for you. The annual even based in Morzine marks the finish of the summer season.
See the drivers tackle the narrow mountain roads and tight hairpins at breathtaking speeds. This is the 65th running of the event and is part of the French national championships.
Coupe Icare (19-22 September 2013)
This year is the 40th anniversary of this annual festival of free flight. Held in St Hilaire, near to Grenoble, each year sees hundreds of pilots take to the skies to show their skills.
Music Festivals
There are some major international music festivals also taking place around the Alps. The three we mention here are situated on the shores of lakes, with views of the surrounding mountains and they offer an unforgettable festival experience.
47th Montreux Jazz Festival (5-20th July 2013)
Musilac (12-14th July 2013)
Paleo (23-28th July 2013)
And don't forget that if you are planning on travelling out to the Alps for your summer holiday, Ski-Lifts offer transfers year round to all of the resorts throughout the Alps, making getting out here very easy.

Hindu Marriage
In a Hindu arranged marriage there are various rituals and customs. According to Hindu Sastra there are four stages of life and the second stage is Grahastha Ashram (the householder stage), which signifies married life and it begins when a man and a woman come together and marry. Marriage is treated as an institution, which teaches the actual values of life. Every stage in life has its own charm. A married life also has its own charm and importance. In our Indian society there are mostly arranged marriages and arranged marriages has various steps. The first step starts with the selection of the bride and the bridegroom. As in arranged marriages the parents selects the bride and groom. The marriage among Hindus is not only considered an union of two souls but of two families. A Hindu wedding not only involves the bride and groom but the entire community, friends, family and relatives as everybody participates in their coming together.
After the selection procedure is over the family members of both the girl and boy decides an auspicious date for their engagement also known as Misri or ring ceremony. The priest decides the date. Now the engagement ceremony rituals differ from region to region and community to community. But all these rituals are an indispensable part of Hindu wedding. In this ceremony the girl and boy exchange wedding rings among each other. Sweets and garlands are exchanged among the couple. On this day special arrangements for dinner is also done for the friends and relatives who gathers to wish the couple. After engagement the next important ritual is the mehndi party. The bride's family and friends mainly celebrate this ceremony. The female friends and family members of the bride celebrate this occasion by painting henna on bride's hand and feet and on each other while the rest of the family celebrates by singing and dancing. The color of mehndi signifies the essence of love in a marriage so it is put on bride's hand to strengthen that bond of love.
Among the other important rituals are Sangeet parties where all the family members and friends of the bride and groom celebrate by singing and dancing the night away. Along with song and dance there are arrangements for food and drink. It is mostly seen among the Punjabis and Gujaratis. It is a large affair in most of the families. Ghari puja is also another important religious ceremony, which is performed on the eve of the wedding day at the groom and bride's place separately. In many regions ghari puja is combined with Pithi the cleansing ceremony during which the bride and bridegroom are pasted with turmeric powder in a beautification process. These were some of the rituals and customs, which were generally followed in all the Hindu marriages. Only the celebration aspect may change due to different culture and traditions of different regions. On the day of the wedding ceremony the place of the wedding is beautifully decorated with flowers. It is called the mandapa where the marriage is performed. The main wedding ceremony is a long and elaborate affair, which lasts for several hours in that the couple takes the saptapadi or the seven steps together before god symbolized by fire and light. The seven vows speak of the real essence and significance of marriage. Each and every ritual and custom is based on Vedic traditions signifying different aspect of married life..
Mangalsutra – The Sacred Symbol of Marriage
A Hindu marriage symbolizes not just a bonding of two individuals but also the bonding of understanding, commitment, mutual love and spiritual growth. In Hindu tradition marriage is not just about celebration and fun it demands sacrifice, companionship, dedication, and surrender by both the partners. Each and every rituals and customs associated with marriage portrays the real essence of wedding. Mangalsutra is one such symbol of marriage. It is not just a jewelry item it has lots of significance to an Indian married woman. It is a sacred thread of love and goodwill worn by married women as a symbol of their marriage.
The groom ties it around the neck of the bride on the day of their marriage signifying their union. It is known by different names in different states of the country. In south it is known as Thaali and Mangalsutra in north India. Mangalsutra is the token of dignity and love given to a bride by her groom. The most common type is made of two strings of small black beads with a locket or pendant. It is also made of small beads of gold and black beads with gold and diamond pendant. The black beads signify protection from evil power. It is believed to protect their marriage and life of their husbands. It is considered auspicious for married women to wear mangalsutra after marriage. Though today the trend is changing, as most of them don't wear a mangalsutra.
Today the concept of wearing a mangalsutra has changed. It is more a fashion statement than a symbol of marriage. And credit goes to the daily soaps and Hindi movies. Even the style has also changed over the years. Previously women use to wear simple design mangalsutra with small pendants but now the trend is to wear short length with single string and instead of gold pendants they prefer diamond pendants. But the black beads remain constant. But whatever may be the reason to wear it symbolizes the real essence and concept of marriage.
Indian Wedding Facts
Indian wedding is not just about serious rituals and customs. There are various other fun filled rituals and frothy moments in Indian wedding ceremonies that lightens the mood and remains as cherishing moments in the coming years. Wedding marks the beginning of a new relationship not just between two individuals but also between two families. And there are various moments in the wedding ceremonies that help to build new relationships. Every caste and community has its own tradition and culture. India with such diverse cultural background showcases variety of fun filled rituals and customs. And nowadays with Hindi movies becoming so popular among everyone that people are following the customs and rituals shown in the movies. Especially movies like Hum Apke Hain Koun showcasing all the rituals associated with Indian weddings have made us familiar with the rituals. Some of the facts about Indian wedding are as follows:-
Parsee saalis takes gifts from their brother-in-law or jija during the ritual of haath boravanu where the groom puts his hand in water and cannot remove them until he pays money to them, pag dhovanu is another such ritual where the groom is threatened with milk on his shoes and chero chorvanu is a ritual in which seven strands of thread tying the couple are removed on payment. In other community also this ritual is there where the sister-in-laws or saalis hide the shoes of their jija or brother-in-law and return them only in exchange for money. It's a very fun filled and enjoying ritual. In some communities, there are rituals where the hands of the couple are covered with a sacred cloth to ward off ill omen and evil eye during the pheras. In Gujarati custom the groom's mother-in-law tries to catch his nose on arrival of the baraat, as a reminder of the fact that he is taking away their daughter and is now responsible for her happiness. Aeki-Beki is also very fun filled rituals among the Gujarati community. It is full of fun and games. A tray or pot of water is mixed with milk and vermillion. A ring and a few coins are thrown into the mixture. The bride and groom are given seven chances to fish out the ring. The winner is considered as having a dominating personality and it is predicted amidst much laughter that he or she will rule the roost! In Punjabi custom the bride's wear a Chuda, which is a set of red and ivory bangles by her maternal uncle. This custom is considered good omen for the bride as it is said to bring good luck to the bride in her new home. Punjabi brides wear Kaleeres. These are silver or gold plated ornaments tied to the Chudas. It is said that the bride has as many friends as there are leaves in the Kaleere. Another ritual, which is found in almost every community is when the groom brings home his new bride, the groom's sisters block the entrance to the home and demand money from their brother as a shagun before they let him in. This is a fun filled and enjoying ritual. So these are some of the fun facts associated with Indian wedding, which makes it exciting and enjoying. And these fun memories are cherished for the years to come.

A currently running thread contained the observation, "but my Dagor has much more bokeh than my Trigor..."
I understand the concept of bokeh as describing how the lens renders the out of focus area. But there seems to be some difference in whether it can be quantified in terms of more or less. (One example I ran across analogized saying one lens has more bokeh than another as like saying one apple has more shape than another.) On the other hand, if it is a function of spherical aberration, as quite a few sources seem to indicate, this can be measured and quantified.
I also wonder if there is any specific quality termed as "bokeh." It seems to be used to describe several different phenomenon. Sometimes it is used to refer to how small points of light are rendered, (see examples at: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/bokeh.htm). Sometimes it's used to talk about "swirliness" or field curvature (see figures 2 and 5 at http://www.vanwalree.com/optics/bokeh.html). Sometimes it is used to refer to how "creamy" the gradations in the highlights are...
I guess I'm trying to find out whether "bokeh" can be specifically identified and/or quantified, or if it's a generalized, undefined catch-all word for all out-of-focus rendering. Any enlightenment out there?

Zin has been born again. Fans of red zinfandel are walking around with zin buttons and driving cars with zin bumper stickers. Sales have not exploded yet in South Florida, but the cult is growing.
No other varietal wine produced in the United States elicits such a range of reactions. Some react with haughty disdain. And, some rave about a particular vineyard`s wine, such as Ridge`s Howell Mountain zinfandel, Grgich Hill`s 1982 Alexander Valley and Montevina`s 1981 Shenandoah Valley.
Zinfandel has had an interesting economic history since it was first introduced into California. From 1880 to Prohibition, the grape was the base for many generic jug wines. It hit upon hard times after World War II when it was replaced in many vineyards by other, more favored and higher priced varieties.
In the early 1970s, zinfandel made a comeback as a premium varietal, the only one of the blending wines to have done so. The wines of a decade ago were high in tannin, full-bodied with a spicy-peppery and sometimes horsey aroma, high in alcoholic content and chewy. Many were huge, inky blockbusters that turned wine lovers off. Thus, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, zinfandels again suffered defeat. This time as a premium wine.
In the last couple of years, most winemakers have changed their style of producing zinfandel to the claret style. Today the most acceptable zins are more pleasant to drink, medium to light in color and body, soft on the palate with a good deal of fruitiness and balance.
Wines of both styles, and many in between, are now being marketed. For this reason, novices often refrain from buying zinfandels simply because they don`t know what they may get. Here are some hints:
If you like a real gutsy wine, one that will go well with barbecued beef ribs, barbecued pork or barbecued smoke lamb, you can do no better than a robust, assertive zinfandel, made in the 1970 style.

9 Ways to beat SAD during a long, cruel winter
The winter blues, also referred to as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), in more extreme cases affects 10-20 percent of the population, and a majority may not even know it, according to the National Mental Health Disorders Association.
Katherine Schafler, a New York City-based licensed psychotherapist, says the most common symptoms of SAD include feeling depressed or down for the majority of the day for at least two weeks; feeling inexplicably tired and heavy, as if your bones are made of lead; appetite changes, especially craving carbohydrates; sleeping too little or too much; irritability; and withdrawing from activities that typically bring you pleasure and happiness.
"Before you freak out and spend the next 20 minutes falling down the WebMD rabbit hole, it's important to note that SAD is more than just feeling 'out of it' for a few days and wanting some pasta," Schafler points out. "SAD is also marked by a withdrawal from social activities, uncharacteristic pessimism and the inability to extract as much pleasure from things that normally make you happy."
Schafler says SAD is connected to legitimate physiological changes in your brain and body, mainly disrupted circadian rhythms and a subsequent disruption in your ability to absorb a "happiness hormone" called serotonin. Women, she adds, are twice as likely as their male counterparts to be diagnosed as clinically depressed.
"The onset for clinical depression most typically hits in the mid-20s, and because seasonal affective disorder is a subset of depression, I would say this research puts millennial women at a more significant risk," Schafler says.
Thankfully there's a lot we can do to combat the symptoms of the winter blues. Check out the list of tips and tricks below to help improve your mood when you're feeling blue.
1. Take some vitamin D
Since the sun tends to go MIA during the winter months, it's not a bad idea to stock up on some vitamin D. Studies have shown that taking such supplements greatly helps to improve your mood.
"Ask [your doctor] about how vitamin D and melatonin supplements can impact mood," Schafler suggests. "Both are thought to improve circadian realignment, a major factor in SAD. Your doctor can also discuss other supplement remedies and medications that might help boost your mood, depending on your needs."
2. Cool it on the caffeine
While nothing tastes better on a wintry day than a seasonal latte, it might not be the best choice of drink because of all the caffeine. Drinking too many caffeinated beverages, such as soda, coffee and tea, can spike insulin levels and drop blood sugar levels, which contributes to a sense of fatigue and is also extremely dehydrating.
"Eating wisely also means watching the caffeine, which suppresses serotonin," says Julia Ross, author of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure. "If you must drink coffee, save it for after the meal."
Natural, non-caffeinated ways to boost your energy include exercising, avoiding junk food, eating more fruits and veggies, drinking lots of water and getting plenty of rest.
3. Set a regular sleep schedule
Sleeping until noon might feel like your body's natural urge when there's a foot of snow outside your window, but if you can, try to avoid spending all day in bed. Your body works best on seven to nine hours of sleep and responds better when you keep a regular routine.
"Make sure you get the right amount of sleep — not too little, and not too much," recommends Lolly Daskal in an article. "Sometimes when it's dark and cold outside, a warm bed is hard to leave. Overcoming that tendency is another reason to plan some fun for yourself."
4. Eat clean
Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet full of fruits, veggies and whole grains will not only help prevent that dreaded winter weight gain, but it will also help your body produce brain chemicals that make you feel more energetic and upbeat.
"Avoid refined and processed foods [like white breads, rice and sugar]," suggests fitness instructor Nicole Nichols. "These foods are not only devoid of the nutrients your body craves, but they zap your energy levels and can affect your mood — causing depression, lack of concentration and mood swings. Try to incorporate more complex carbohydrates [whole wheat breads, brown rice, veggies, fruit], and get your daily 8 cups of water. These healthy foods provide your body [and mind] with nutrients and stabilize your blood sugar and your energy levels."
Also make sure to load up on omega-3 fats, like salmon, walnuts and flaxseed, as well as lean protein, such as skinless poultry, lean red meat and eggs, which encourage your body to release the feel-good chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine after you eat.
5. Make your body move
Extra motivation might be needed to brave the blistering cold, but your body will definitely thank you for it. Exercising regularly helps boost feelings of well-being and positivity as well as increases energy levels by upping your endorphins and the brain's feel-good chemicals.
"I know it's annoying to hear this as a suggestion, because everyone already knows that exercise is generally helpful, but even just doing 10 minutes of exercise in the middle of your living room changes your brain chemistry and can boost your mood," says Schafler.
6. Discover new light sources
While sticking yourself under a sunlamp (aka tanning beds) is not necessarily encouraged, doctors do recommend getting your daily dose of faux sun through a light box, which simulates sunlight and helps regulate the brain chemicals that affect your mood. Just a few weeks of treatment, consisting of 30 to 60 minutes per day, has been proven to help around 70 percent of patients.
"Light a candle, pull the shades wide open, turn on extra lights in your home," Schafler suggests. "Light therapy is an actual thing, and choosing the right light box for you can be surprisingly effective."
7. Stay social
After the high of holiday gatherings subsides, you might find yourself feeling a little more isolated or not knowing what to do with yourself and time. If such a situation occurs, do your best to get out and be social. Researchers have found that 1 in 5 people feel sad solely due to social isolation, which can make you more vulnerable to mental health problems.
"Don't underestimate the power of friends, family, mentors, co-workers and neighbors," Nichols says. "Who can you turn to when you're down and need a pick-me-up? Keep a mental list of these special people, and don't be afraid to ask for help or encouragement when you need it. Something as simple as a phone call, a chat over coffee or a nice email or letter can brighten your mood."
The more you withdraw, the worse you feel, so gather some friends, and go grab a meal.
8. Satisfy your sweet tooth
But seriously, what can't chocolate cure? Dark chocolate, the kind with 70 percent cocoa or more, has been shown to help boost dopamine levels in your brain as well as significantly reduce stress hormone levels.
"Certain foods, like chocolate, can help to enhance your mood and relieve anxiety," says Brigitt Hauck.
As if we really needed another reason to indulge in a little hot cocoa!
9. Don't be afraid to seek help
If none of the above remedies seems to shake the funk you're in, don't be afraid to seek counseling. It's a sign of self-awareness and maturity to know when you're in need of a little extra help and to make a conscious decision to receive it.
"If the winter is extra rough for you for whatever reason, get a little extra support," Schafler says. "I see a lot of clients who know the winter is not their best season emotionally and come in to see me for three months or so of 'booster therapy,' which always strikes me as so self-aware and positive."
If you think a friend, family member or loved one might be suffering from SAD, Schafler suggests employing the communication strategy of "sharing the dilemma," wherein you transparently preface your concern with the truth about your nervousness in saying it. For example, saying, "I'm nervous to tell you this because I don't want to upset you or make you feel like I'm judging you, but I care about you more than I'm nervous, so here goes: I'm worried you might be depressed or that the winter blues are really getting to you in a serious way."

I have also converted the CSM data to a TRC (Track Row Column) format loadable by Motion Builder (download). Motion Builder can load it if it has an appropriate header (example).
TRC is a text-based marker file format and a straight-forward substitute to C3D, which although more efficient, is a binary format which takes effort to read and write. This format is used by OpenSim, which also has corresponding documentation.

Sun 12 May 2013 in 50,11:
In a forest near Annawerk (Gräfinau-Angstedt) in one of the nicest parts of Thuringia.
- Juja and Davey
Already on Friday I noticed that this point would be no problem to put on my route from my parents back to my own home on Sunday, so I was resolved to visit it - but of course that meant I would have to go by bike... not easy, since it was raining all Sunday morning in southern Thuringia! So I sat at home drinking coffee for hours until finally around 4pm the weather seemed to clear up and my family let me go. After I got a wet butt on the first kilometers the weather got better and better, I reached the point in the bright sun, took photos of curious signs and the pack of slippers I found in the middle of this wood and then went on to explore a new route home. Very nice! Who would have thought of that?

text: 17 December 2012A new survey has revealed that many women in New Zealand have put plastic surgery on their wish list this Christmas. According to the results of the Colmar Brunton's Christmas Survey 2012, which were released today (December 17th), some 10 per cent of New Zealand women are keen to go under the knife or alter their appearance.And, to achieve their dream look, they are asking for their plastic surgery as a Christmas gift. Chief executive of Colmar Brunton Jacqueline Ireland pointed out that the survey shows men will spend more on their partners than women, as males intend to splash out an average of $257 (Ł134) compared with the $166 females will spend. She continued: "On the face of it, this suggests men are more generous at Christmas but there could be more to it than that. Is this simply about generosity or have they left it too late to shop around for the best deals?" Among the other gifts women have on their Christmas lists are clothes (41 per cent of respondents), books/music (37 per cent), jewellery (36 per cent) and perfume (30 per cent).

Can BMW's M6 Coupe deliver on those 'Ultimate Driving Machine' advertising straplines? Jonathan Crouch reports.
BMW's mighty M6 Coupe delivers a 560PS power punch that catapults it through 62mph in little over four seconds. Yes, it's significantly more expensive than the M5 saloon that it appears mechanically similar to, but it's lighter and more agile. It also has a dual personality, switching between GT and sports roles with some elan.
The BMW M6 Coupe is a car that puzzles some people. In short, they don't see the point of it. After all, the mechanically similar M5 does everything the M6 does but with the addition of back doors and a big boot. The four-door M6 Gran Coupe offers the slinky looks of the coupe with a bit of added practicality, so there lingers the question of the M6's role. It's certainly not the prettiest coupe we've ever seen, nor will it smash lap records of the Nurburgring. It won't cut quite such an elegant dash as a Mercedes-Benz SL on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice and neither will it possess half the jaw-dropping tech of its i8 electric sibling. But let's shelve all those concerns for the time being and deal with the product at hand. The day we start questioning the place of a 560PS V8 rear-wheel drive coupe will be a very sad day indeed for petrolheads the length and breadth of the nation. Instead, let's just revel in what remains an extraordinarily capable car that possesses a depth of talent that's hard for most to wrap their heads around.
That mighty powerplant tucked under the bonnet shouldn't come as any great surprise. We've seen it before in the M5 and this twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 endows this four-door M6 with scorching straight line speed. BMW has striven to strip a bit of weight from the M6 and redistribute it in all the right places using parts like a bonded carbon reinforced plastic roof to lower the centre of gravity. Of course, it's sledgehammer quick, 560PS of power and 680Nm of torque will do that for you. The sprint to 62mph is smashed in just 4.2 seconds before a soft electronic limiter brings a halt to acceleration at 155mph. This is an engine with an almost turbine-like power delivery, and while it lacks the aural charisma of the old 5.0-litre V10, it more than makes up for that with its huge reserves of low-end torque, which peaks from just 1,500rpm. BMW has tuned the ride quality to be a fraction more yielding than the rather firm M5 saloon and you can switch it into comfort mode if you're just looking to waft along. The engine note might be a little insistent to put this in the top league of the most relaxing luxury saloons but this remains an M car and therefore has a requirement to steer accurately, offer taut body control through corners, deliver nuanced driver feedback, and, thanks to the fitment of an electronically operated M-differential, deliver excellent stability for such a potent rear-wheel-drive sports car. The seven-speed Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) snaps through shifts in a blink and if you want even greater stopping power than the already impressive standard setup, you can pay to option in ceramic brake discs.
As well as that carbon roof the M6 benefits from a hybrid construction of steel, aluminium and composite materials to keep a cap on weight without sacrificing strength. In addition to the high tensile steels used in the monocoque, the doors and bonnet are made from aluminium while the front wings are formed in plastic while the boot lid's built from fibreglass. This M6 is a lower-key but better-looking thing than its rather blunt predecessor, to this eye at least. At the front there's an M apron with wide air intake apertures directing air to the engine, while sharply contoured headlamps featuring the characteristic BMW Corona rings with Adaptive LED headlight technology sweep the path ahead. There's also a wide M kidney grille, with its black slats and shape inspired by the double spoke alloy wheels. The interior is beautifully executed, with good sightlines from the driving seat. The lightweight M Sport seats feature an integrated seat belt system, electric seat adjustment, a pneumatic lumbar adjustment and manually adjustable under thigh support. The cockpit is finished in Merino leather and the 460-litres of luggage capacity gives it the sort of versatility you'd expect from a top-end GT car.
The asking price of £94,625 might seem a bit of a stretch given that you can put an M5 in your garage and still have over £24,000 change, but are these cars really viable rivals? Probably not. The M6 instead campaigns against cars like the £94k Maserati GranTurismo Sport Auto, the £112k Mercedes SL63 AMG and the £130k Bentley Continental GT. When pitched against these rivals, the BMW certainly doesn't seem overpriced. In fact, it's easy to make a case for it being the bargain of the big coupe division. Customers get dual-zone climate control, heated and multi-adjustable M Sport seats, the M-specific HUD, Extended Merino leather interior trim and BMW Professional Navigation with 10.2" colour screen. Customers can also specify 20-inch alloy wheels, M Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Internet, BMW Night Vision and a monster Bang and Olufsen stereo.
First the good news. The latest M6 is a good deal more fuel-efficient than the old V10 model. That said, there are probably bulk freight carriers or intercontinental ballistic missiles that are more fuel efficient than that car. EfficientDynamics technology encompasses a suite of fuel-saving measures on this car such as Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and Active Aerodynamics, helping to reduce consumption and emissions by approximately 30 per cent. The M6 claims a combined fuel consumption of 28.5mpg with CO2 emissions of 232g/km. It's even got a decently-sized 80-litre fuel tank which means that your touring range extends out to over 440 miles in real world conditions. Most other things will be predictably expensive. Servicing isn't unmanageable, but drive it hard and you'll face a hefty tyre bill and insurance isn't going to be cheap. Run an M6 over three years and it'll work out cheaper than its ostensible rivals. The pence per mile cost comes to 240, with the Maserati GranTurismo Sport Auto costing 246ppm, Mercedes SL63 AMG weighing in at 269ppm and a Bentley Conti GT V8 a hefty 310ppm.
All of the constituent parts of the BMW M6 Coupe do a fantastic job of convincing you that their totality will be an absolutely incredible vehicle, but the result can seem a little confusing in its execution. It doesn't at first seem a fully-fledged syrupy GT continent-crusher and it's certainly not a flinty-eyed bruiser with which you'd choose to dice with a Porsche 911 or a Nissan GT-R. Spend a little more time with the car, however, and its appeal gradually coalesces. You'll eventually figure out that once you've spent time playing with the 486 different chassis, steering and gearbox permutations, you can turn it into a decent GT car. Tweak them some more and it'll be a brutish oversteer monster. So yes, it can do both roles. Not as well as the dedicated cars but closer than you'd at first think. That is perhaps the genius that's buried deep within the BMW M6. It's easy, lazy perhaps, to write it off as a car that falls between stools; an overpriced jack of certain trades. It's actually a car that does that rarest of things, namely credit its operator with some smarts. Perhaps the M6 deserves a bit more kudos than it's received. It's earned our respect, that's for sure.

The US General Services Administration has procured about 300 million kWh of electricity – expected to save GSA more than $10.8 million at several facilities in New York as well as through other federal accounts, including the American Red Cross, Bureau of Prisons, United Nations, US Coast Guard and US Department of Veterans Affairs – through a series of online auctions with help from World Energy Solutions. GSA awarded two-year power contracts for its Manhattan and Upstate Service Centers, which are expected to yield annual savings of more than $3 million and $750,000 respectively. The Manhattan Service Center purchased 100 percent "green" energy, while the Upstate Service Center secured 7.5 percent green power for some of its accounts that had not purchased green power previously.
NASA has selected Geosyntec Consultants, Jacobs Engineering Group and Tetra Tech to provide architectural and engineering professional environmental remediation services at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., the adjacent Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and other NASA locations. The combined maximum potential value for the three contracts is $91 million. Under the contract, the three companies will compete for fixed-price work orders to develop and implement contamination assessment and remediation requirements for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act sites and petroleum contamination for NASA at Kennedy and CCAFS.
Australia's largest water utility, Sydney Water, will begin installing Itron's high-efficiency meters to replace old meters that serve its residential and commercial customers. Sydney Water serves more than 4.6 million people; the companies expect the meter installation to take three years.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has begun providing natural gas fuel to additional trucking fleets with Saddle Creek Logistics Services, Lakeland, Fla.; Premier Transportation, Atlanta, Ga.; Hoopes Turf Farm, Ulysses, Penn.; Lily Transportation Corp., Needham, Mass.; and Lancaster Foods, Jessup, Md. The firms will use compressed natural gas at existing and yet-to-be-built Clean Energy public access stations, and liquefied natural gas at Clean Energy stations along its America's Natural Gas Highway. The contract grows Saddle Creek's CNG fleet to 120 trucks. Hoopes Turf Farm now has 10 LNG trucks in service, and plans to transition its entire fleet of 50 trucks to LNG power.
EcoSmart energy management platform developer Telkonet has announced that partner company EnTel will install EcoSmart in two hotels and one multi-tenant entertainment complex through its EnTeligence Solution. The EnTeligence Solution, a complete utility management program, reduces HVAC costs with EcoSmart energy management technology and reduces water, sewer and natural gas costs, the company says. Telkonet's EcoSmart suite of energy management products cut the Lewiston, Maine, Ramada Conference Center's HVAC runtime costs by 40 percent, the company announced in June.

Dress: Boohoo
I already have a dress in this style from asos, I really love it and wouldn't mind adding this colourway to my collection. This one is from boohoo.com and is a fraction of the price, in fact you could buy two from boohoo and still have some change!
Dress: Oasis
I'm not too sure on the white waistband but I really love the monotone of this dress, there's something really classic about dressing in just black and white with maybe a smearing of red lipstick!
Dress: Warehouse
I love the button detailing on this dress and think it would look great layered with a long sleeve top underneath as we head into A/W. Great colour too!
What have you got your eye on this week? Are you, like me, going to stick to your opaques and chunky knits or are you going to embrace the last of the summer and strip off?!

Possible Fix For Random Disconnections
Hello. I'm new here at the forums. I'm also fairly new to Windows 7 RC Build 7100. Recently, I have been noticing that I have been randomly losing my wireless internet connection. It would disconnect after an amount of time. I am using a Linksys Wireless N PCI Card. The onyl way I could fix my problem was a complete restart. I came across these instructions on the microsoft website. This is actually for Windows XP, but it worked for me, so hopefully for you too!
How to use Registry Editor to disable network adapter power management on a single computer
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (How to back up and restore the registry in Windows ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
To use Registry Editor to disable the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power network adapter setting for a single computer, follow these steps:
1: Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2: Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\DeviceNumber
NoteDeviceNumber is the network adapter number. If a single network adapter is installed on the computer, the DeviceNumber is 0001.
(PERSONAL NOTE FROM RICK: I had to go through all the numbers, until I found "ProviderName" - Linksys. You need to search for your company brand of wireless adapter, you can continue on to 3 once you find your adapter's brand/company name)
3: Click PnPCapabilities.
4: On the Edit menu, click Modify.
5: In the Value data box, type 38, and then click OK.
Note By default, a value of 20 indicates that power management of the network adapter is enabled. A value of 38 will prevent Windows XP from turning off the network adapter or let the network adapter wake the computer from standby. On the File menu, click Exit.
How to disable power management for a network adapter when you deploy Windows XP
|My System Specs
|10 May 2009
I may be going down the wrong trail, Rick, but that seems overcomplicated. Maybe it was neccessary in XP, I hav'n't used that for some years. I am surprised that MS give directions for "under the hood " customising, rather than through the GUI, which they themselves almost pioneered!
This is what I do when I customise after an install.
Open Control Panel (Small icon view)
Open Device manager
Open Network Adapters and right click on your default Adapter.
Select Properties.
Open the "Power Management" Tab
Alter the optional preferences to your desires.
I click "Allow this device to wake the computer" Then Untick the box above "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" (The previous box will then grey out, but still retains the altered setting)
Ok the lot.
|My System Specs
|10 May 2009
I did so this way, because of the fact I do not have a "Power Managment" tab, when I right click>Properties Only General, Advanced, Driver, Details, Resources. And none of those in which I can customize nothing power-related. I suppose it doesn't matter if I'm running 64-Bit? I doubt it, but you never know...
|My System Specs
|10 May 2009
Understood. And you are certain you have the linksys card selected as your default, with the others disabled? I cannot explain otherwise, why you would not have a power management tab.
Another problem with the later Linksys products is a lack of suitable 7 drivers. If you have accepted MS updates, try again with your installation CD. You may have to run the program in compatibility mode for Vista(or XP)
|My System Specs
|10 May 2009
Windows 7 Ult x64(x2), HomePrem x32(x4), Server 08 (+VM), 08 R2 (VM) , SuSe 11.2 (VM), XP 32 (VM)
yeah i believe if you would have installed either the xp of vista drivers you should get the power management tab working...
i had a problem like this and installing the vista drivers worked like a charm...
|My System Specs
|10 May 2009
Bad thing, there ARE no Vista drivers for it. Linksys doesn't even support 64-Bit OS's yet and I got it to work on Windows 7 64-Bit. I can even run the utility for it... It's strange. I am using vanilla(Original)software/driver version that came on the disc. When I go into the device by clicking "Properties" on it, it tells me "This device is working properly." Which I find strange.
