Capitals 3 Rangers 1 If the Rangers were a Broadway show – which anyone who has seen them at the Garden this year assuredly knows they are not – they'd now be closed following last night's abysmal performance.
Back home after surviving a three-game road trip only because of Mike Richter's brilliance, the Rangers were so bad, it was almost an insult to the paying customers. They showed little enthusiasm and less effectiveness. Rarely if ever had possession of the puck. Hardly ever were able to complete even one crisp pass, let alone two or three in succession.
And this all took place against the Caps, for gosh sakes, who entered the match 10 games under .500, and who had managed to fall behind the Kings at home 6-0 on Friday by the opening minutes of the third period.
Do not be fooled that the final score of the defeat was only 3-1. The Rangers really were never had their heads or their legs in the odious affair. The score, then, was simply testimony to Richter and to the Caps' offensive ineptness.
But really, it's nothing so new for the Rangers, who have lost four straight at home while scoring all of one goal in each defeat to the Blackhawks, Senators, Panthers and Caps, respectively. They're now 10-11-2 on Broadway, one of only eight teams in the 27-team NHL with a losing record on home ice.
Welcome, everyone, to the World's Most Famous Arena, where the Rangers themselves act as the welcome mats.
"When we're home we seem to watch what the other team is doing and react to their game plan instead of taking the initiative ourselves," said Jeff Beukeboom, who played a booming physical match and was one of the few blameless Blueshirts. "And by us not dictating, we give our opponents confidence.
"We play with more desperation on the road. We're better on the road than we are at home."
Wayne Gretzky received an injection before the game that froze his injured rib cage, played his 213th consecutive game as Ranger without a miss, and was one of the most spry athletes on the ice. Brian Leetch, who missed the morning skate with the flu, played furiously. Too bad so few Rangers were able to duplicate the effort of 99 and the captain.
"It was probably one of the worst games we've played all year; for whatever reason we didn't compete tonight the way we should have," said John Muckler, who could not sugar-coat his team's pathetic display. "We were outplayed, outworked, outscored.
"Let's be honest."
Must we? All right, then. It's games such as last night's that should give Neil Smith all the reason necessary to embark on radical reconstructive surgery as soon as possible. We'd suggest a heart transplant, as well, except that Todd Harvey, whose absence has had a disproportionate effect on his team, is hopeful of making a return from his knee sprain within the next two weeks.
Without Harvey, at home, there is no atmosphere at the Garden. It's as if the team plays in a vacuum of emotion and energy.
"We seemed to be flatfooted and standing still most of the game," said Gretzky. "We didn't do a lot of good things."
The Rangers were retreating most of the night, pretty much from the first shift to the last. Pinned most of the game in their own end, they were able to stop the Caps one of three ways – with a Richter save and freeze; by throwing the puck in the stands; or, as a last resort, by icing the puck. By the nine-minute mark of the third, they'd iced the puck 10 times.
It was 1-0 Caps at 2:45 of the first when Steve Konowalchuk scored from in front on a third rebound. The Rangers came back to tie when Brent Fedyk got his first of the year – first NHL goal since April 7, 1996 – converting a Marc Savard feed on a delayed penalty at 6:10 of the second.
But just 25 seconds later, after another of a seemingly endless procession of defensive zone faceoff losses – this one by Petr Nedved – the Caps regained the lead when Joe Juneau swiped a deflected shot past Richter. And though it remained 2-1 until Peter Bondra converted a two-on-one with 3:00 to go, the Rangers never seriously threatened to tie. Rarely broke through the neutral zone.
The match concluded with those who remained in the audience, booing the Rangers until the curtain came down.
It does, however, come up again tomorrow night. With Mark Messier providing the opposition.
Now that's entertainment.

(19th Jul 2007) Singapore's biodiversity provides potential natural drug cures
Singapore, 19 July 2007 - International drug discovery and development company, MerLion Pharmaceuticals Pte Ltd (MerLion) and the National Parks Board of Singapore (NParks) have signed a new agreement to combine the unique expertise and capabilities of MerLion with the extensive drug discovery potential of Singapore's diverse plants, animals and micro-organisms.
Based upon its unique capabilities and extensive natural sample collection, MerLion has a premier position in natural products based drug discovery. Its library of more than 100,000 microorganisms will be increased by the new agreement with the NParks that will enable MerLion to extend its Singapore-derived collection of samples. This agreement also reflects MerLion's continuing commitment to the Convention on Biological Diversity by recognising the sovereign right of signatory countries to ownership of the organisms collected, stored and identified by MerLion's scientists. This collaboration with Merlion is a recognition of Singapore's rich biological diversity.
"Singapore's biological diversity is very rich. Despite being a city-state of less than 700 km2 in land area, we have more than 2,300 species of trees, which in turn sustain eco-systems for a rich diversity of animals and microorganisms. We are pleased to partner MerLion to realise the commercial potential of our biodiversity, and look forward to fruitful outcomes," said Chief Executive Officer of NParks, Mr Ng Lang.
Dr Tony Buss, Chief Executive Officer of MerLion said, "A 2007 National Institutes of Health (NIH) study reveals that drug candidates derived from naturally occurring chemistry account for more than 75% of drugs introduced worldwide between 1981 and 2006 1. Such chemistry, generated by microorganisms and plants, continues to play a key role in drug candidate pipelines with a significant number of such naturally derived compounds currently in late stage clinical development"2 3 4.

EAI is a boutique software development firm built on trusted relationships with our clients. EAI has created lasting partnerships with our customers by developing innovative product offerings on a fixed price basis that accelerate time-to-market.
Our Story
In January of 2001, Velan Thillairajah and his colleague – the only two members of a fledgling professional services firm – sat across the table from their first prospective client. They had taken great care to understand the client's industry and business, and had developed a plan of action custom-tailored to the client's needs: Modernize their core infrastructure using off-the-shelf solutions while simultaneously creating a migration path toward the future.
They had a plan. They had a presentation. They had all of the technology and skills necessary to succeed, and they were awarded the contract.
But they did not yet have name.
Only when it came time to sign the contract, and Velan was faced with a blank space in which to write the company name, did inspiration strike. Velan scribbled down "EAI Technologies." His company was born.
Who We Are Today
When many people hear "EAI," they think of Enterprise Application Integration, but that was not what Velan had in mind when he first penned our name. He was not satisfied with a conventional approach to developing enterprise applications. He wanted to innovate. To us, EAI stands for:
Enterprise Application Innovation
We take an innovative, two-tiered approach to working with our clients and partners. We take the time to know our clients before applying technology to practically address their needs. That allows us to customize every single project we work on to the unique needs of that specific client.
We excel in creating a trusted partnerships that allow us to work iteratively with clients to address sudden or unexpected changes to their requirements without additional cost or delays.
Since landing our first client, EAI has helped countless companies find innovative solutions to their technology needs, and continue to find new and exciting ways in which we can innovate in the tech landscape.
Rave Reviews
"AOL had hired EAI Technologies in the past to develop both prototypes and full, shipping products and the results were impressive. I engaged EAI to help with an infrastructure analysis and strategy project, and their results were effective, practical, comprehensive, and above all, actionable. If you need applications built — back-office, consumer-facing, or online web applications — quickly, reliably, and pleasantly, I would strongly recommend EAI."
– Director, Product Mgmt, Aol
"EAI was able to handle all the business and technical challenges that were put in front of them without a lot of notice or direction – without their expertise and integrity – our business would have come to a halt."
– CEO, Management Concepts
"I have hired the team at EAI directly and worked with them on other departments projects numerous times and the results have always been similarly successful. I have always been thoroughly impressed with EAI's high degree of professionalism and strong attention to detail. I highly recommend EAI for high tech consulting needs. "
– Verisign Inc.
Community Outreach
Our business is about more than just serving clients. EAI and its employees take an active role in their respective communities. We sponsor several outreach programs, and our employees are involved in numerous community and family projects. These include (but are not limited to):
- New Opportunities for Wounded, Widows, and Orphans of War – http://www.nowwow.org/
- International Medical Health Organization – http://theimho.org
- People for Equality and Relief in Lanka – http://pearlaction.org
EAI is also committed to matching its employee contributions to special disaster relief efforts, including Haiti and Japan.
People & Culture
EAI operates with a family-oriented mindset that positively affects how we work both with our partners and internal teams.
We are also extremely diverse; we employ top talents from more than seven different nationalities!

For purposes of rounding a floating-point number to the nearest integer,
this does not work:
x = floor (x + 0.5);
The proper thing to do is rint, round, or nearbyint -- with some consideration
as to which one to use if x might be negative. nearbyint is likely the one
to use most of the time.
The problem affects two classes of numbers:
(a) nextafter(0.5,0) -- the number just below 0.5 gets rounded to 1.
(b) +- (2^52+odd) -- adding 0.5 really adds 1
This is visible from the R command line:
> dpois(2^52,1,1)
[1] -1.578226e+17 <-- good
> dpois(2^52+1,1,1)
[1] -Inf <-- bad
Warning message:
In dpois(2^52 + 1, 1, 1) : non-integer x = 4503599627370497.000000
You do not mention which of the many uses in the R sources you have in mind: helpful people do.
nearbyint and rint have only become available recently (I am not sure all R platforms have them both yet).
This particular case is fixed.
Created attachment 1553 [details]
Output of grep -Hrin floor.*\\.5
Here are some additional instances. This is checked against R-patched_2014-01-08_r64705.tar.gz. I ran the following command:

Climate Finance Advisory Service
The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), a UK-based non-profit organisation, launched a Climate Finance Advisory Service (CFAS) for developing countries at the 18th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Doha, Qatar. The Service will enable negotiators, policy makers and advisors in developing countries to access the tailored information and guidance they need to participate effectively in global climate finance negotiations. To that end CDKN has mandated a consortium of several organisations led by Germanwatch and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management to assist negotiators from the most vulnerable developing countries, in particular least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing states (SIDS) and Africa, in their involvement in the global climate finance architecture.
Against the background of running the CFAS platform, the consortium will provide expertise on issues relevant to climate change finance, both within the international negotiations and in climate finance practice in developing countries. This involves real-time support (also referred to as in situ response service ). The Service provides a rapid response for complex, time-critical questions faced by developing countries during the Green Climate Fund Board meetings and UNFCCC negotiations, and between sessions. Negotiators from developing countries can submit queries using the CFAS online platform to the expert team. The answers are published on the online platform www.cdkn.org/cfas, to benefit a larger audience of developing country users.

Where Little is Given
Zina D. H. Young was the third General Relief Society President and was known for having the gift of tongues. She wrote about her experiences with that gift,
Soon after this [her baptism], the gift of tongues rested upon me with overwhelming force. I was somewhat alarmed at this strange manifestation, and so checked its utterance. What was my alarm, however, to discover that upon this action upon my part, the gift left me entirely, and I felt that I had offended that Holy Spirit by whose influence I had been so richly blessed.
I suffered a great deal in my feelings over this matter, and one day while mother and I were spinning together, I took courage and told her of the gift I had once possessed, and how, by checking it I had lost it entirely.
Mother appreciated my feelings and told me to make it a matter of earnest prayer, that the gift might once more be given to me.
I walked down to a little spring in one of the meadows, and as I walked along I mused on my blessing and how I had turned away the Spirit of God. when I reached the spring, I knelt down and offered up a prayer to God and told Him if He could forgive my transgression, and give me back the lost gift, I would promise never to check it again, no matter where or when I felt its promptings.
I have kept this vow, but it has been a heavy cross at times, for I know that this gift is the least of all gifts, and it is oftentimes misunderstood and even treated lightly by those who should know better. Yet it is a gift of God, and should not be despised by him who receives it, but magnified to its extent, even as the lowest grade of the priesthood is the least of all, and yet it needs be magnified as earnestly as are the higher and greater offices. (Young Woman's Journal Vol. 4, April 1893)
Since I first read this story about six years ago, I've thought about it and what it tells us about gifts of the Spirit many times. Here, Zina receives a gift of the Spirit after her baptism, but "checked" it. The gift left her and she realized that she should not have limited her gift and asks for it again and continues to use the gift throughout her life. It's almost like the Parable of the Talents: Zina was given a "talent" and hid it like the servant who was afraid. But unlike that servant, she realizes its worth and it's given back to her. I've also thought about what she didn't do: she didn't ask for the gift in the first place, and it doesn't sound like she did anything in particular to "grow" this gift. It was simply given to her. If I wanted to have the same gift of tongues, would prayer and study give it to me?
It has caused me to rethink how I look at all gifts of the Spirit. Moroni lists many gifts including, faith, healing, prophesy, to see ministering angels, tongues, and more. In Doctrine and Covenants 46:13, we are told that even having a testimony of Christ is a gift of the Spirit.
And this is where I find Mormonism gives us conflicting messages. On one hand, Alma says that faith can grow from a simple desire to have faith and it can grow to a knowledge. On the other hand, faith and knowledge and a testimony of Christ are gifts of the Spirit and, "all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every (wo)man is given a gift by the Spirit of God. To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby" (D&C 46:11-12).
Unfortunately, I don't have answers, but I do have questions.
My patriarchal blessing lists some gifts that I've been given. When I was 16 and receiving the blessing, I thought some of them were laughable and not "real" gifts, though I've since recognized their importance. And there are some gifts that I felt I had when I got my blessing, but I don't really feel at the moment. Is it as simple as asking for them back, like Zina did here?
And is it possible that there are people who simply, by nature of never having been given the gift, cannot have faith or a testimony of Christ? Are there people, no matter how hard they try to build a testimony through prayer or scripture reading or service or obedience or whatever routes their Sunday School lessons suggest, will not be able to simply because not everyone is given that gift? Can we be ok with saying, "Some people have different gifts and it's ok if a knowledge of Christ isn't one of them?"

And the Republicans are pretty well on board with this. Never mind the Constitution gives the power of the purse and taxing to Congress and provides NO way to cede this authority. This may be a done deal in a matter of hours.
From Politico
Tennessee Senators set to give Obama unlimited power to tax
Our sources on Capitol Hill have informed us the Senate is working on a backroom deal to give President Obama nearly total control over federal spending for the rest of this fiscal year.
This is their "solution" to their self-created sequestration crisis.
Your Tennessee Senators may be on the verge of ceding their constitutional authority to Obama and giving him virtually unlimited power over taxing and spending.
If this deal goes through, our "Radical-in Chief" will have almost unlimited power to raise taxes for the next seven months!
+ + GOP Senators Set to Betray Constitution!
Under this dirty, backroom deal, Obama would essentially be given full authority to raise taxes and set spending levels, because Congress would need a two-thirds vote on a "resolution of disapproval" to stop him (a near impossibility).
Top GOP Senate leaders have given their "tacit approval" to the plan, according to a Politico report that says "Republicans are now proposing that Congress surrender an important piece of its Constitutional 'power of the purse' for the last seven months of this fiscal year."
+ + Doorstep Of Totalitarianism
This proposed action by the Senate, with the support of Republicans, borders on treason and brings America to the doorstep of totalitarianism.
This is a clear violation of the separation of powers — Congress is constitutionally given the authority to tax and spend. The founders separated these powers because they lived under the TYRANNY of a king who had both legislative and executive powers.
Now, Tennessee Senators stand on the verge of effectively returning us to the days of King George III. But this time, it will be "King Barack" who can tax us to his liking.
I'm calling on every patriotic citizen to take action right now and demand that the Senate NOT CEDE ITS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO OBAMA!

Note in this question, a scoring distribution is provided to the students — not only do they know the question is worth six points, but they also know immediately that three points will be awarded for fully answering the question and two points for legibility, with the final point for spelling and grammar. Question 3 also demonstrates another common error — writing questions that close off a student's potential answer. A better question would ask "How might two accidents be an acceptable level of risk…", in order to promote a more meaningful answer.
One option is to organize your essay from general to particular . For example, if you were describing the new Big Tex at the State Fair of Texas, you might start out by describing the setting - the smell of the corn dogs frying, the crowds of people, the happy children dodging in and out of the midway games - then get into his grandiose size - after all, everything is bigger in Texas, right? After that, you describe the details: his new crisp, white, pearl snap shirt, his blue jeans tucked into cowboy boots, adorned up top with his signature belt buckle, and so on.

FTC Wants to Tax Drudge, Subsidize NY Times
WASHINGTON: This administration, fearful of the power that an open and free media has to disseminate truth, feels that it needs to bail out traditional newspapers and dinosaur networks to keep control of the flow of information. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) just released a major discussion draft that proposes bailouts for traditional media. The Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) "Diversity Czar" Mark Lloyd has called for the same takeover of media in the US that Chavez has instituted in Venezuela.
Stocks of Internet providers fell dramatically in early May as the FCC said it would move forward with net neutrality rules as the FCC is moving closer to seizing control of the Internet. Investors fear that increased federal regulations will present significant challenges to the viability of fledgeling new media. Verizon and other providers are alarmed that the FCC is trying to reclassify broadband to put it under their control:
CTIA and Verizon expressed alarm over FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski's proposal to reclassify broadband under Title II of the Communications Act.
CTIA President and CEO Steve Largent said in a statement that he was "disappointed" with the announcement. "This complex, interdependent ecosystem is currently thriving to the benefit to all Americans," he said. "Putting that success at risk is unnecessary and dangerous, particularly in today's economic environment." Maisie Ramsay, Wireless Week
It is the same principle as the EPA reclassifying carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is required by all plant life on the planet but the EPA has seized control over it in order to leverage power over every aspect of American life. Now the FTC wants to use the same ploy to control the Internet:
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is seeking ways to "reinvent" journalism, and that's a cause for concern. According to a May 24 draft proposal, the agency thinks government should be at the center of a media overhaul. The bureaucracy sees it as a problem that the Internet has introduced a wealth of information options to consumers, forcing media companies to adapt and experiment to meet changing market needs. FTC's policy staff fears this new reality…
With no faith that the market will work things out for the better, government thinks it must come to the rescue. Read more…

The national savings rate of a country is the amount of income left over once the expenditures and costs of consumption have been subtracted. National savings include money saved from government, business and personal expenditure within a single variable.Continue Reading
One of the main differences between the national savings rate of a country and similar financial variables such as employer-sponsored retirement and IRA contributions is that the national savings rate also includes government savings. Most governments report deficits due to constant spending, lowering their national savings rate.
Financial and social programs that reduce or increase government spending, such as retirement age, income distribution, borrowing constraints and the population's demography can have a pronounced affect on a country's national savings rate. Retirement pensions represent a key example: a country that pays these pensions using tax income levied from people of working age has a lower national savings rate than a country that obligates or recommends its citizens to personally provide for their own retirement savings.
Since household saving is the primary source of public service funds, governments use the national savings rate to determine how much money they can expect to be able to obtain for public projects through this particular financial vehicle.Learn more about Banks

Art History's 8 Greatest Unicorns, from the Met Tapestries to Damien Hirst's Taxidermy
Artsy Editorial
Engraving, circa 1498, without watermark, a very fine, rich and black Meder a-b impression, with burr in the darkest areas, printing with very faint wiping marks below, trimmed inside the platemark on three sides but retaining a fillet of blank paper outside the borderline, trimmed on or just inside the platemark above, in excellent condition.
Resting on soft cushions by a stove, a man has fallen asleep, whilst a devil or demon blows sinful thoughts into his ear. In his lustful dreams, Venus herself tempts him while little Amor tries to walk on stilts and has cast aside a toy ball. The moral lessons are obvious; sloth leads to lust, and love is fickle. The so-called Dream of the Doctor is a secular version of the Fall of Man, complete with the apple resting on the stove, and Venus is closely related to Eve in Adam and Eve (lot 26). There is a charm and light-heartedness about this print which does not quite seem to support the moral rigor of its message.

Considered one of the foremost artists of the Renaissance period, Albrecht Dürer's extensive work in printmaking transformed the categorization of the medium from craft to fine art. Often depicting religious subjects, Dürer's woodcuts and engravings demonstrated unprecedented technical skill, tonal variation, and compositional sophistication. Dürer theorized extensively on linear perspective and anatomical proportion, concerns that were articulated in a vast body of written work as well as in his paintings and prints. Dürer's skill earned him the role of court artist for Holy Roman Emperors Maximilian I and Charles V, under whom he created a number of paintings and altarpieces. Dürer's series of self-portraits, created throughout his career, represent some of his most iconic works.

Hi all
This is my first time here so apologies if I do this wrong.
I'm mid 40s and have always suffered from anxiety/depression and am now seeing similarities between symptoms of autism and myself. Is the only way of getting a diagnosis through your GP? I'm quite paranoid and I think my GP thinks I'm a hypochondriac so I hate the thought of having to go to her, I'm sure she'll just think I'm attention seeking or making it up.
Hi there,
Asking to be referred for an assessment through your GP is the usual route. You're doing the right thing by doing your research first, in my opinion. As you suggest, GPs aren't usually very clued up about autism, and my experience is that if you have presented with anxiety/depression in the past, they will often struggle to see beyond that.
I was only diagnosed two years ago, when I was 45, and prior to that had been referred for mental health treatment half a dozen times over 30 years. Aside from two counsellors who suggested a generic psychological assessment (neither of which happened), no-one ever scratched below the surface enough to notice that I had an underlying condition, and autism was certainly never mentioned. I was surprised at my assessment to find that I wasn't the "borderline case" that I expected, my autism was easy for the assessor to spot, despite it being invisible to anyone previously (that I knew of, anyway.)
The more you can find out about what typically autistic traits you may have, the better your chance of convincing the doctor. In particular, the autism test questionnaires that you can find here are not just internet pop psychology. They are used as formal screening tools by most autism assessment teams, and even in that situation are self-reported without any prompting. So I suggest that you take those tests, take the results with you to the doctor, and be clear with the doctor that they are clinically proven for initial screening. Hanging about on forums like this one will also help you to be clear whether and why you suspect autism. Even two years after assessment, I still have several "aha" moments every week from communication with other autistic people - it's amazing how many things that you've taken for granted for decades can take on a whole new light.
If you are having trouble getting the GP to see this, there may be an alternative way, however. If you struggle with anxiety and depression, it is perfectly reasonable to ask for a referral to a counsellor or your local mental health team. When I finally got referred for assessment, it was because I had been referred for counselling again, and it was the mental health team worker responsible for assigning a counsellor to my case who suggested autism as an explanation for me being such a "repeat customer". She had a reasonable understanding of the condition, and was convinced enough to write to my GP to push for an assessment. This might be worth a try if your GP is reluctant.
Thank you so much for your response. I'l keep reading up on here first before I make any other move so I can at least be confident that I know what I'm talking about!
I'm worried I'm just clutching at straws. I had an abusive childhood but have no memory of what happened. This had led to 3 therapists bring unable to help as I couldn't bring up many specific incidents. I don't know if I've blocked it out purposely or it's just my awful memory. All that leaves me with is my being "odd".
I avoid people, I don't like being touched, I don't like people standing too close. I cant go out and weed the garden because I don' like people looking at me, I even got stones put down so I didn' have to mow the lawn. I can' look people in the eye for any length of time. And I have no mental filter so I say things no one else would and never know what exactly to say or do. It' all so embarrassing.
So maybe I'm just desperate for someone to say "THIS is what you have" so I don't just feel odd. But I don't want to waste anyone's time or reinforce the opinion that I AM just a hypochondriac.
Sorry for the rant!
Don't worry that you might be ranting. A lot of us come to places like this precisely because they're the only places that we can get things off our chest that we just can't talk about to anyone else. It's fine to do that here - it's something that most members need to do from time to time.
Having trouble recalling past experiences during counselling could itself be autism related. Many of us have a set of traits known as "Alexithymia", which can result in difficulty identifying our own feelings, and having memories that don't include very much emotional content. It seems to be common that Alexithymic people struggle with counselling. Like all traits of autism, it is very variable from person to person, and it occurs in non-autistic people too - but we do seem to be particularly prone to it.
However, I must emphasise that I'm not a trained psychologist, it is quite possible that your traumatic experiences have caused some other condition that appears similar to autism, or that you have both autism and some other co-morbid condition; for example, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
There's another forum that I recommend to to you - Wrong Planet. Now, I'll warn you first that it's rather more chaotic than this one (avoid the political threads unless you enjoy verbal abuse no matter how reasonable and polite your arguments are!) However, while it is centred on autism, it has sub-forums which cover other conditions, and many members either have some other condition or have multiple diagnoses (i.e. autism plus co-morbids.) There are probably other similarly wide-ranging forums, but I find Wrong Planet useful because it has a very large membership. It's a bit too big to be so community oriented as some others, but for doing a bit of research from people's direct experiences, I find it very useful. You only have to sign up to be able to post; all but a small members-only "haven" can be browsed publicly. A little bit of wider research might help you to determine whether your traits best fit autism or some other condition.
Oh, and try not to worry too much about being a hypochondriac. From what I've seen, every single late-diagnosed adult has experienced the "impostor syndrome" - I still do sometimes, even after diagnosis. The fact that you have struggled with recurrent depression/anxiety indicates that there is something there to look into. I wish that I had started using forums like this before my diagnosis - it was the "impostor syndrome" that stopped me from doing it. Finding people who share similar problems and can offer support and advice is going to help you, even if the cause of those problems turns out not to be the same in the end.
Best wishes.
Thank you, you'e been very kind. And helpful.

My son played the first part of the 2015-2016 season with INTER. But in November he left the team mainly because it is too far away. Now he would like to play the season-end (March-June) with another team. We asked Inter by emails and text messages to please issue a RELEASE. But no answer was ever received. CAN HE PLAY WITHOUT THE RELEASE?
No. He must be approved by the League in order to particiapte with another club during the same seasonal year. The league only grants that waiver if approved and requested by the club he has left.

Bad friends have to be identified correctly in the right time and should be avoided. If they are bad they can never be termed as friends but are just acquaintances. Bad friends will only drag you into bad habits. Companions who were once friends, when they turn out to be bad are worse because they know your entire secret and may drag you down anytime. So, it is crucial to identify true friendship and confide only in them. Bad friends are always a trouble. Stephen king said, "no good friends no bad friends only people you want, need to be with .People who build their houses in your heart". Bad friends are worse than our enemies. So they should always be kept at a distance. Enemies will stab you in your friend and we will be aware of their moves. But bad friends will stab at the back without us knowing what their moves will be. This kind of betrayal is very hard to undergo. So, get rid of bad friends.

Bad Friends

Such is the trap into which millions of us fall, blaming others for our hurt feelings and making demands upon them for change. This is very similar to the preceding "You make me unhappy" trap which only leads to giving away of personal power, a continued lack of self-esteem and more power in the hands of those who so "hurt your feelings". To choose not to make one's happiness dependent upon others leads to real empowerment. And it is possible!But the possibility must first be recognized, secondly accepted as something desirable and thirdly actively pursued. The goal is to change from being hurt to being OK with whatever situation causes my hurts so that I am not hurt the next time that situation occurs. Do you want to be so empowered? Examination of similar childhood hurts will probably be the key to not being hurt next time.
|Most people these days think that nasty names "naturally" hurt folks. Such erroneous thinking is causing huge amounts of societal unhappiness.

Is all about Me
I ♥ me
This is a story of a girl..... (Part 1)
I'm by no means shy or quite. I'm outgoing, in your face, and loud. But I like it that way. And the few people good enough to call friends dont seem to mind either. I'm girly girl but can be one of the guys too. I'm all about having a good time. I can make pretty much any situation. I'm put into fun. I love to sing (sometimes its off key) and dance (like no one is watching) I cry when i watch sad movies. I'm a sucker for chick flicks. I'm the biggest scaredy dog in the world. My family is my world. I am nothing without them. My friends save my life. Music makes my world go round [ALL MUSIC] I tend to over think to much on things that dont matter. I'm a blonde and blonde moments come along with that. I'm the girl that will laugh at a joke i heard yesterday. Making someone else smile, makes my day. I smile alot and laugh even more (the best laughs are the ones that make your cheeks hurt and your eyes water)
I've made mistakes in my life. I've let people take advantage of me, and I have accepted way less than I deserve. But, I've learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I'll know better next time and I won't settle for anything less than I deserve...
(to be continue)
I ♥ My ♥ Me ♥ Mine
This is a story of a girl..... (Part 2)
♥ I'm the type of girl who is easy going.. If your being rude, i WILL IGNORE YOU.. When you decide to be polite, I'll talk to you.. I'm a girl with feelings.. sometimes i have mixed emotions.. There are people in my life right now that i hope to NEVER lose.. I'm a girl who loves to laugh and loves people who can make me laugh.. I laugh at the most stupidest things.. I'm the type of girl who doesnt want to deal with drama but somehow gets sucked into it.. I just want to live my life.. And I'm NOT going to let one little thing get me down!.. ♥
♥ I'm the type of girl that needs a guy that will PROTECT me from the nasty things and people in this small world ♥ A guy that will SAVE me when I'm in trouble ♥ A guy who will TEXT me when I need to be texted ♥ A guy that will HOLD me when I need to be held ♥ A guy that will LOVE me 20/12 ♥ A guy that's not going to make me the other girl, a guy that's going to make me THE GIRL, the only one! ♪ Also a guy that brings music into my life ♫
♥ I'm the type of girl who will burst out laughing in dead silence because of something that happened yesterday. I'm already to be that girl again. The one who wasn't afraid to fly, to fall, that never cried over dumb boy, who would never worry about being in love. I am nowhere near perfect. I eat when I'm bored. I fall for boys easily. I'm vunerable to believing lies. I'm hoping that one day I won't need a fake smile. I live by quotes that explain exactly what I am going through. I make up excuses for everthing. I have best friends and enemies. I have drama and memories [and that's life] Live it, Love it... Learn from it ♥
You can say anything about me please… But I Am What I Am. And that's something that You Can Never Be. Accept me, reject me, but I'm still me. No one can change me, except me ♥
(The End)
I'm not a perfect girl
I know I'm not a perfect girl, and I cant pretend to be.
hmm... Actually I'm a crazy girl. LOL~
I used to be a bad girl. I made friend with bad guys. Loving without thinking. I had grown up with cuss time. Now I'm trying to mature, to become a good girl, but it seem to be hard for me.
My hair is always untidy, and I ruin everything.
My room is messy with many useless stuffs.
My parents always yell at me, and at that times I made them even crazier than me :))
I cant take care of myself, and I always relying on the others.
Sometime I'd get a breakdown, like doing stupid things, fighting with my friends, yelling at everyone, going mad with everything, and saying bad words... I know I'm damn mad as hell :(
Sometimes I'd get troubled and I'd fail to put into words what the hell it is that troubles me.
Sometimes I'd lose my temper and I'd no longer act like the fine person who stands before you today. Sometimes I'd get jealous and I might say things I don't really mean. Sometimes I'd talk too much that I might drive my friends crazy.
Sometimes I'd get touchy and I'd get easily hurt. And no matter how mature I try to be, at times I'd act in childish ways. I'd demand things I shouldn't, I'd say things I shouldn't say.
I'm heart sick, but I always hide my feeling. I can't share what I'm feeling. Yup, you can consider me as a faker, a liar or whatever. That's why my best friend worry abt me. She can't reach to me. I'm feeling like our friendship was not the same. My bad T__T
I'm sick of crying all the time. But I just cry in silence because I hate people seeing tears rolling in my face.
I'm a daydreamer. I always dream about strange things that never come true. Poor me. lol.
Yeap . . I'm not perfect but I'm unique. I'm not strange but I'm different. That's why I love being imperfect :)

Don't you hate it when people make a joke about you, about something that you are actually incredibly insecure about. And they don't realize it, but every laugh feels like a stab in your chest, because it hurts so much and brings up memories you'd rather forget. But you can't say anything, because then people would know your weaknesses. They'd know how insecure you really are. So instead you just laugh it off, and hide the pain you feel inside. . . fuck !

A broken heart is the worst. It's like having broken ribs. Nobody can see it, but it hurts every time you breathe. . . ~
Have you ever been so upset you just completely broke down alone by yourself. Your parents can't tell and nor can your friends because you hide it behind a smile. You know you're not okay. Yet again, no one knows how you feel and you don't bother telling them because they have their own lives to deal with. So you store all your problems, all your sorrow, all your tears, all your hurt and all your pain. You'll take it out some other day, but not today.. Today's not the day. Because here's to the nights you delt with more than you bargained for. All those sleepless nights crying so hard you couldn't breathe. To the nights you couldn't wait till everybody grew up because you were sick of them judging you. To all those nights you things would just get bettter. To all those good nights that turned to bad. To all those nights you wish you were older. To those nights that unfortunately came too soon. . . ~

Artist:Edward Ka-Spel CD Title: Fragments of Illumia Label: Piehead Records Reviewer:Matthew Johnson Date: 10-20-05
Another brilliant solo release from the astoundingly prolific front man of the Legendary Pink Dots, this album sees Edward Ka-Spel at his most eclectic, dabbling with everything from ambient noise to spoken word to the psychedelic industrial pop sound of the Dots themselves throughout five extended tracks. "My Space" starts things off in wistful Dots fashion, with Ka-Spel singing softly over some pleasantly spaced out electronics effects that pan back and forth across the stereo channels. Part One of "The End of Everything" features one of Ka-Spel's signature surreal spoken word pieces, this time around about the world turning into a potato chip which is then eaten by a scavenger bird, delivered over mellow drones before transforming itself into a frenetic chant over raucous, circus-inspired horn loops. Part Two is noisier and more minimal, an instrumental piece just repetitive enough to be hypnotic but cycling through enough different loops to keep things from getting boring. "Sticks and Stones" is sharper and louder – a little like the Dots' "Hellsville" – with sampled garage rock loops making this one of the most guitar-heavy rock tunes in Ka-Spel's solo career, while "Yet Another Fragment" brings things to an end by returning to more ambient territory, with extended analog tones punctuated only by a ticking watch. Another great release in the "Illumina" series, this is great news for Ka-Spel fans, and with the Legendary Pink Dots celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary and Beta-Lactam Ring Records reissuing all the albums from Ka-Spel's "China Doll" series, it's a great time for industrial psychedelia.

As one of the members of British progressive rock outfit Van Der Graaf Generator in the 1970s, Peter Hammill (no relation to the journalist and novelist of the same name) inspired many musicians and composers of his generation, including David Bowie and John Lyndon of the Sex Pistols, who called him "a true original" after the release of the 1975 solo disc "Nadir's Big Chance." That record, which in effect was recorded by a reformed VDGG after a temporary breakup is considered by many a prototype of the punk rock sound that emerged around London a year after its release. In a live setting as a solo artist, one cannot really predict what might happen during the set (an email question sent about the topic remained unanswered at the time of this writing), but one can be sure that it will include music from 2006's "Singularity," his first solo release after a heart attack almost claimed his life in three years earlier. You might also expect some material from VDGG, which reformed in 2004 after a two-decade hiatus. Those who attend should come to The Abbey without expectations—it is definitely better to go with open minds and ears, since that way disappointments will not disturb the resulting experience.

Sean Penn and Robin Wright's daughter, Dylan Penn, has sparked rumours she is dating The Vampire Diaries star Steven R. Mcqueen after they were spotted together at a Hollywood event on Saturday (11Jan14).
Penn, who has been previously linked with Twilight star Robert Pattinson, and McQueen posed for photographs at her father's charity gala in California and sources tell Us Weekly magazine they even shared a kiss.
A source now tells the magazine, "They met awhile back, they started dating pretty quickly, lots of attraction there. Dylan is a fun chick, whatever she had with Pattinson was very brief if at all."
And Dylan's rumoured boyfriend, who is movie legend Steve McQueen's grandson, met her dad before the event, which was also attended by the Oscar winner's reported new love Charlize Theron.
There's a lot of love about in the Penn household in 2014 - Dylan's mum Robin Wright recently became engaged to actor Ben Foster.

Iowa State education professor earns new teaching, research development award
AMES, Iowa -- An Iowa State University expert on Latino and higher education studies is the first recipient of a faculty development award that recognizes creativity and productivity in scholarship, teaching and service.
Laura Rendón, professor and chair of educational leadership and policy studies in the College of Human Sciences, has received the inaugural Rossmann Manatt Faculty Development Award.
Rendón is nationally known for research on educational access and academic achievement among low-income, first-generation college students. Her recent research focuses on teaching, learning and how college students develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
As part of the award, Rendón will deliver a presentation related to her scholarship to the Iowa State community. She also will receive $5,000 to support her research.
Rendón is co-editor of several books, including "Transforming the First Year of College for Students of Color, Educating a New Majority," and "Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Higher Education." She is writing another book, "Sentipensante (Sensing/Thinking) Pedagogy."
She also serves on the editorial boards of the "Review of Higher Education," "Educational Researcher," "Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering," "Journal of Latino Education," "Journal of Chicana/Latina Studies," "National Association of Student Personnel Administrators Journal" and "The National Women's Studies Association Journal."
Rendón also serves on the boards of the National Council for Community and Partnerships, Naropa University, Boulder, Colo., and the National Initiative of Women in Higher Education. She also is the past president of the Association for the Study of Higher Education.
She has directed research projects funded by the U.S. Department of Education and has served as a fellow of the Fetzer Institute, a spirituality think tank based in Kalamazoo, Mich.
"Laura Rendón has a distinguished record," said Larry Ebbers, University Professor of educational leadership and policy studies. "Her research on student retention in the classroom has worldwide acceptance. Since joining the Iowa State faculty in 2005, she has worked on research to assist community colleges and K-12 schools to retain students of color and is working toward seamless education for underrepresented populations."
The Rossmann Manatt Faculty Development Award is designed to further the scholarship, teaching and service of faculty in Iowa State University's colleges of Agriculture and Human Sciences. Administered by Provost Benjamin J. Allen, the annual award alternates between tenured faculties of the two colleges. The award was made possible by an endowed gift from Jack and Marilyn Rossmann and Charles and Kathleen Manatt.

The Cluckers have got me really worried. Before you gasp with anxiety, they are all fit, healthy and in excellent spirits.
They've got their moulting over and done with and they all look magnificent. And that's what worries me. Each and every one of them has a finer set of feathers than they have ever had before. Ever! I have to ask myself why.
The only thing I can think of is that they know something we don't. My suspicion is that we are in for a very harsh Winter, my chickens are well aware of that and have, in a manner of speaking, put an extra pair of thermals on.
In my last blog I mentioned the lavish headgear the two Polands are now sporting. Fizz, in particular, also seems to have sprouted considerably more feathers all over the show. It's a bit different with Pom-Pom. Madam sheds feathers so discreetly it's almost impossible to see where she's lost them from, other than her tail. For a while the pair of them wandered round without a tail between them. It is equally hard to see where Pom-Pom has grown them back, other than lots of extras in her crest.
Both Maggie and Tu-Tu got rid of duvetfuls of feathers. However, they both had so many to start with they looked pretty much the same, but slimmer. But their regrowth is even more abundant than it was before.
The two Araucana girls decided to approach their moults differently. Punk decided to live up to her name and wandered round with stray feathers sticking up at all angles on her head. That was about as far as she went. Rebecca looked as if she was practicing for Halloween! She ended up with all the shafts of her wing feathers showing on both sides, so that she looked like a walking skeleton.
Mad Irene got rid of her tail, as many bum feathers as she could without going bald, and lots from her neck. The feather loss round her neck caused us some amusement. She has a habit of stretching her neck up to its fullest extent to look at things and decide if she can be bothered going over to examine them more closely. You really shouldn't do that when your neck is scrawny. But her feathers have also all grown back in super-abundance.
So I'm off to the shops to get some really warm vests, a few pairs of long-johns and some nice thick socks - just in case.

The new airport is part of Beijing's ongoing plan to encourage development of transportation and other industries in the long-isolated region as a way to promote its economic growth and raise living standards.
Six new railway lines in and around Tibet are in the works, following the opening in 2006 of the final link in a line from Beijing to the capital Lhasa. Critics worry the rush into Tibet could wreck much of the high-altitude region's delicate ecosystem, and an influx of the majority ethnic Han Chinese threatens its Buddhist culture and traditional way of life.
China says Tibet has historically been part of its territory since the mid-13th century, and the Communist Party has governed the region since Communist troops arrived in 1951. Tibetans say their territory was essentially an independent theocracy for most of that time. Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, lives with a self-declared government-in-exile in India.

Selena Gomez & the Scene is a pop rock band from Hollywood, California. The band was formed in 2008 and is fronted by actress Selena Gomez. The Scene is composed of guitarist Ethan Roberts, bassist Joey Clement, keyboardist Dane Forrest, and drummer Greg Garman. The band released its first album, "Kiss & Tell" in 2009 and its follow up, "A Year Without Rain," in 2010.
To promote their first two releases, the band embarked on several Selena Gomez & the Scene tours. They've also appeared on Dancing with the Stars, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In 2010, Selena Gomez & the Scene tickets were sold to a performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Long before fronting the band, Gomez starred in various made-for-movies and the Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverly Place." In 2010, Selena Gomez tickets were sold to her theatrical film debut, the kid-friendly "Ramona and Beezus." Her music career started when she covered "Cruella de Vil" for the Disney album "DisneyMania 6" (2008).
Gomez then recorded songs for the movie soundtracks "Tinker Bell" and "Princess Protection Program" as well as for the soundtrack album to her television show, "Wizards of Waverly Place." In 2008, just before her sixteenth birthday, Gomez signed a deal with a record company owned by Disney.
Not wanting to be a solo artist, Gomez formed the Scene in 2008 after an exhaustive audition process. She originally wanted her outfit to be called "The Scene," a way to get back at people who accused her of being a "wannabe scene." Yet, due to contractual obligations with her record label she was forced to adopt the name "Selena Gomez & the Scene."
The Scene's first two albums both peaked inside the top ten and both were certified Gold. Neither album produced a top ten single but the tracks "Naturally" and "A Year Without Rain" went to the top of the U.S. Dance charts. As of mid-2011, the band's highest charting singles are "Round & Round" from "A Year Without Rain" and "Who Says" from their third studio album. Both tracks peaked at #24.
The band's third studio album was released in June of 2011 and featured the track, "Whiplash," written by Britney Spears. To support the release, the band embarked on a string of Selena Gomez & the Scene concerts in late July.
