Testimonials | What Our Clients Have to Say.
Company Profile: Founded in 1986, Halcyon Underwriters is a broker/wholesaler specializing in both admitted and non-admitted carriers for Main-Street-type business as well as quoting specific lines of coverage for more difficult classes of business.
Halcyon offers independent insurance agents access to admitted markets, partnering with A.M. Best rated "A-" or better insurance carriers, including: Ace, Admiral, Allianz, Alterra, CNA, Chartis, Chubb, Crum & Forster, Fireman's Fund, Harleysville, Hartford, Liberty International Underwriters (LIU), Liberty Mutual, Markel, Montgomery (Florida Only), Travelers, and Zurich. Halcyon prides itself on providing retail agents with excellent service, competitive pricing and knowledgeable advice.
Business Development Manager: Tinamarie Harrington heads the marketing for Halcyon and contracted ProgramBusiness.com to participate as a Storefront on its on-line platform. ProgramBusiness.com is powered by the Neilson Marketing Services database, and provides an optimized platform for independent insurance agencies to search for markets and connect and write business with wholesalers, MGAs, and carriers.
Objectives: To expand Halcyon's footprint throughout the agency distribution system in the United States. Promote Halcyon's strong carrier partnerships and underwriting expertise, and inform retailers that they can have access through Halcyon to admitted carriers for Main-Street business that they otherwise would not have (due to volume requirements, etc.).
Work Performed: Create an optimized Storefront on ProgramBusiness.com with keywords linked to a custom Google Search feature within ProgramBusiness.com to locate Halcyon Underwriters based on class of business (contractors, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, technology and other wholesalers, etc.) and markets (carrier programs), with 19 separate landing pages and a call to action for each. Create and distribute optimized quarterly broadcast emails to an updated database of agencies and brokers throughout the U.S. Each individual agent that clicks on the ad goes to the corresponding landing page on the featured product or service with a call-to-action to add data.
Results: $900,000 in premium in one month. Received two submissions from one agency located in New Jersey: One account was an equipment manufacturer located in New Jersey, with a $750,000 premium. The other was a Pennsylvania-based distributor of finished building products with a premium of $150,000. Halcyon underwrote and placed both accounts with an A-rated carrier.
Tinamarie explained that the agent found Halcyon through ProgramBusiness.com's custom Google Search feature when searching for "manufacturing insurance". Halcyon came up in the search, along with the markets in which the agency was interested. "The agent then spoke with another agency he located through Google that does business with us to find out more about who we are. He then emailed us, and we immediately contacted him and began the underwriting process," said Tinamarie.
"Based on our success, it's a no-brainer that we will continue to use this on-line platform to expand our footprint. By any standard, we've had a terrific ROI through ProgramBusiness."

There's an old saying that goes:If you can dream it, you can achieve it.That's a good start, but I think that statement needs a qualifier.I would add a few words:If you can dream it, you can achieve it if you are truly determined. Visualization is an important strategy for accomplishing dreams large or small.I believe it is an essential tool for projecting your potential.But it needs to be workable.
For example, I can imagine myself competing in the Ryder Cup, the biennial men's golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States.I'm a pretty fair golfer, and I would love to represent America in winning style.Sadly, even though I was a competitive golfer back in high school and college, my glory days are long over.So I will be content to watch the competition and cheer on my countrymen.
And therein is the difference between fantasy and visualization.
I have used visualization throughout my life as a means of seeing my dreams realized.In business, I saw myself running a factory even though I had modest means and little experience. But I was willing to work myself to exhaustion and slog through the trenches to achieve.Part of the reason my visualization was effective was that I also visualized some of the problems that I would encounter, which were abundant at the beginning.Foremost in my mind was how to work
through challenges and still come out on top.I imagined what could go wrong, and how I could take charge of the situation.
I tried to prepare for every possible hurdle, because wrestling with a problem isn't always the best way to generate a creative solution.Step back and quietly visualize the answer you're looking for.These are the steps I follow:
* FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT. This sounds easy, but keeping your mind free of obstacles and distractions can be difficult.Try to clear your thoughts of everything but the outcome you need.Don't fight negative thoughts – just let them flow out of your brain so you can concentrate on the positive.
* MAKE A MOVIE IN YOUR MIND. We tend to see things in pictures more strongly than we can visualize abstract concepts like numbers and theories.Think of your problem in visual terms and try looking at it and your solutions from different angles.Bring your senses into play:Imagine what your idea would feel like,sound like or even smell like.
* TAKE YOUR TIME. The solution may not come all at once.Give yourself time to get used to the process so you're not forcing ideas too hard.With practice, you'll learn how to quickly relax your
mind and let it explore problems and situations without effort.
"Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success," says sports psychologist Rob Gilbert.
Two-time Olympic pentathlete Marilyn King provides a very moving example of how powerful the conscious use of picturing what you want can be.
When King was preparing for the 1980 Olympic trials, she suffered a severe back injury and was confined to bed just nine months before the trials.She was determined not to let this injury keep her from performing, so she spent the next four months doing nothing but watching films of the best performers in the pentathlon events and visualizing herself going through the same events.
Amazingly, she placed second at the Olympic trials despite her lack of physical preparation. She credited her psychological state, not her physical condition, which resulted in her victory.She said, "If you can't imagine it, you can't ever do it. In my experience the image always precedes the reality."
I know several real estate developers.They have amazing powers of visualization.They can look at a piece of property and see skyscrapers, apartment buildings, schools and a host of other
construction projects.They can see the placement of the roads, the style of the streetlamps, and the people who will populate the newly built space.
They can also see the issues they will face with city planners, construction delays, and environmental assessments.But they are undaunted, because they have seen all this in their mind's eye.And they know that they can make it work.
As Thomas Edison said, "Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with preparation." I'll take his word for it – I suspect Edison's power of visualization was immense.
_MACKAY'S MORAL: __Seeing is believing – if you believe in yourself._ To your success,
Harvey Mackay

This is the 2nd post in a series focused on leveraging DevTest labs to automate the creation of Custom Images in Azure. Please refer to the 1st post for an overview of the solution, Introduction: Get VMs ready in minutes by setting up an image factory in Azure DevTest Labs.
Today we will cover all the preparations needed to run the Image Factory from Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) up through creating a virtual machine. (highlighted section in the diagram below)
Important note: Any orchestration engine will work! VSTS is not required, it's just happens to be what we're using for this blog series but the Image Factory is run using Azure PowerShell scripts, so it could be run manually, with Windows Task Scheduler, other CI/CD systems, etc.
Create the DevTest Lab for the Image Factory
The first step in setting up the Image Factory is to create the DevTest Lab in Azure. This is the 'Image Factory' lab where we create the virtual machines and save custom images. This lab is considered part of the overall Image Factory process. (the right side of the diagram above). Once you create a DevTesT Lab, make sure to save the name since you'll need it later!
The Scripts and Templates
The next step in adopting the Image Factory for your team is to understand what's available. The Image Factory scripts and templates are available publicly in the DevTest Labs GitHub Repo. Here is an outline of the pieces:
Image Factory <dir>
└ Configuration <dir> <-- The 'inputs' to the image factory
└ GoldenImages <dir> <-- JSON files that represent the definitions of custom images
└ Labs.json <file> <-- File where teams 'sign up' to receive specific custom images
└ Scripts <dir> <-- The 'engine' for the image factory
It's a lot of PowerShell code and ARM templates to digest all at once, but we'll be going through each of the key steps (create virtual machines, save images, distribute images and retention policy) in subsequent posts.
Create a VSTS Team Project
The reason we're using VSTS in our sample is because we can store the source code, run the Azure PowerShell in one place, we can schedule recurring runs to keep images up to date, and there are good facilities for logging the results to diagnose any issues. Using Visual Studio Team Services isn't a requirement however, you can use any harness/engine provided it can connect to Azure and can run Azure PowerShell!
To get started, just create a free account in VSTS! Visit https://www.visualstudio.com/ and click "Get started for free" right under "Visual Studio Team Services". You'll need to choose a unique account name and make sure to choose to manage code using Git. Once this is created, save the URL to your team project! It will look something like this: https://<accountname>.visualstudio.com/MyFirstProject
If you have an existing VSTS account or project you would like to use instead, no problem! Just skip this step on creating the VSTS account.
Check in the Image Factory to the Git Repo
All the PowerShell, templates and configuration for the Image Factory are located in the public DevTest Labs GitHub repo here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-devtestlab/tree/master/Scripts/ImageFactory .
The fastest way to get the code into your new team project is to "Import a repository". This will pull in the whole DevTest Labs repository (so you'll get extra docs, samples, etc.). To do this, visit the VSTS Project you created above (URL looks like https://<accountname>.visualstudio.com/MyFirstProject ) , click "Import a Repository", enter the clone URL for the DevTest Labs Repo: https://github.com/Azure/azure-devtestlab , and click "Import".
Now we have all the files checked in! If you decide to only check in exactly what's needed (the Image Factory files), please follow the steps here to clone the Git repo and push only the files needed located in the "scripts/ImageFactory" directory.
Create a Build and Connect to Azure
At this point we have the source files stored in a Git repo in TFS and now we need to setup our pipeline to run the Azure PowerShell. We have lots of options here, we only need to execute Azure PowerShell! We are using a build definition for simplicity in this blog series, but this works with VSTS Build, VSTS Release (single or multiple environments), other execution engines like Windows Task Scheduler or any other harness that can execute Azure PowerShell.
NOTE: One important point to keep in mind that some of the PowerShell files take a long time to run when there are a lot (10+) custom images to create. Free Hosted VSTS Build/Release agents have a timeout of 30 min, so we can't use the free hosted agent once you start building many images. This timeout challenge applies to whatever harness you decide to use, it's good to verify up front that you can extend the typical timeouts for long running Azure PowerShell scripts. In the case of VSTS, you can either use Paid Hosted Agents or use your own build agent.
To start, click on the "Setup Build" button on the homepage of your VSTS Project:
Next, we select an "Empty" build definition, click "Apply" to create your build! At this stage you can choose "Hosted" for the build agent. I also edited the title of my build to be "Build and Deliver Images to DevTest Labs". Don't forget to save!
Configure the Build Variables
To simplify the command line parameters, we encapsulate the key values that drive the image factory to a set of build variables. Click on the "Variables" tab and you'll see a list of several default variables. Here's the list of variables to enter in to VSTS:
Variable Name
|This is the full path in the repository to the "Configuration" folder. If you imported the whole repo above, the value to the left is correct. Otherwise update to point to the Configuration location.
|The name of the Azure DevTest Lab used as the factory to produce images. If you don't have one,
create one
! Make sure the Lab is in the same subscription that the Service Endpoint has access to.
|The number of images you want to 'save' of each type. Good default is 1.
|The built in admin account password for the Virtual Machines. This is a transient account so just make sure it's secure. Click the little lock on the right to ensure it's a secure string.
|The built in admin account username for the Virtual Machines. This is a transient account.
|The timeout we should wait for regular Azure operations.
|The Subscription Id where the Azure DevTest Lab exists and that the Service Endpoint has access to.
|The size of the Virtual Machine to use for the "Create" step. The VMs created are transient, so it just needs to be of a size where there's enough
Subscription Cores Quota
a size that's enabled in the DevTest Lab
Connect to Azure
The next step is to setup something called a "Service Principal". This is an identity in Azure Active Directory that enables the VSTS Build Agent to operate in Azure on the user's behalf. To do this, we'll get started adding our first Azure PowerShell Build Step.
Click "Add Task" and search for "Azure PowerShell". Once you find it, click "Add" to add the task to the build. When you do this, you'll see the task appear on the left side as added.
The fastest way to setup a Service Principal is to let VSTS do it for us. To do this, click on the task we just added, and for "Azure Connection Type" choose "Azure Resource Manager". Once you've done this, click on the "Manage" link to setup the service principal. NOTE: if you already have a service principal setup, you can skip to the next step! This blog post has all the information you'll need to get this working: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2015/10/04/automating-azure-resource-group-deployment-using-a-service-principal-in-visual-studio-online-buildrelease-management/ . When you click the "Manage" link you'll land in the right place in VSTS (2nd screenshot in the blog post) to setup the connection to Azure. Just make sure to choose "Azure Resource Manager Service Endpoint" when setting this up.
Complete the "Create Virtual Machines" Build Task
Finally, we will complete the build task we started above. If you click on the build task, you'll see all the details on the right pane that should be filled in. First, let's name the build task "Create Virtual Machines". Choose the Service Principal created above by choosing "Azure Resource Manager" and then the Service Endpoint. For "Script Path', click the "…" on the right and navigate to "MakeGoldenImageVMs.ps1" script. Script Parameters should look like this:
Script Parameters:
-ConfigurationLocation $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)$(ConfigurationLocation) -DevTestLabName $(DevTestLabName) -vmSize $(VMSize) -machineUserName $(MachineUserName) -machinePassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -string '$(MachinePassword)' -AsPlainText -Force) -StandardTimeoutMinutes $(StandardTimeoutMinutes)
Verify it works - Queue the Build!
Let's verify that we have everything setup correctly by queuing up a new build. While the build is running, switch to the Azure Portal and click on "All Virtual Machines" in your Image Factory DevTest Lab to confirm that everything is working correctly. You should see three virtual machines get created in the lab!
Next Steps
The first step in setting up the Image Factory based on Azure DevTest Labs is complete! In the next post in the series, we'll get those Virtual Machines generalized and saved to Custom Images, then distributed to all your other Azure DevTest Labs, retention policies on images and finally cleanup.
Please let us know how we can continue to improve DevTest Labs by sharing your ideas and suggestions at the DevTest Labs feedback forum.
If you run into any problems with the features or have any questions, we are always ready to help you at our MSDN forum.

Legislative Report
15,800 New Jobs
Cam Broten continues to refuse to stand up for Saskatchewan. On the six-month anniversary of his election as NDP leader, Broten addressed the federal NDP Caucus in Saskatoon. In his speech, Broten was silent regarding Thomas Mulcair's opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline project. Broten had a chance to tell Mulcair he's wrong on Keystone and stand up for Saskatchewan, but he didn't, despite the fact. That's in sharp contrast to what Premier Brad Wall did when he met with Mulcair the day before. Premier Wall told the federal NDP leader, in no uncertain terms, that he was wrong. Because of the bottleneck created by limited pipeline capacity, it's estimated that the Saskatchewan government lost up to $300 million revenue last year and oil producers up to $2.5 billion. Keystone would help fix that. Keystone is good for Saskatchewan and, by not telling his federal party that, Cam Broten is potentially losing this province billions of dollars a year.
It's no secret that Saskatchewan is a great place to live, work and raise a family and new figures from Statistics Canada support that. When comparing August 2012 to August 2013, 15,800 new jobs were created in Saskatchewan. Nearly one-third of the new opportunities were filled by First Nation and Metis people. Saskatchewan businesses have also been hiring more of our young people (ages 15 to 24) as the youth unemployment rate was 7.2 per cent in August – the lowest in Canada and well below the national average of 14.1 per cent. For the eighth consecutive month, Saskatchewan also held down the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 4.2 per cent. The biggest employment gains were found in manufacturing, health care and social assistance. These new opportunities brought Saskatchewan's labour to an all-time high of 564,900, up 800 from July.
As our province grows, our government remains committed to making Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live for people with disabilities. In keeping with that commitment, grand opening ceremonies were held recently in North Battleford for two new homes for people with intellectual disabilities. These homes will provide services for 11 individuals and allow them to play an active role in their community. Our government has a strong track record when it comes to taking action to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, including the elimination of the 440 person wait list as well as the introduction of the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program. This program allows more than 10,000 people with significant and long-term disabilities to live with greater dignity and respect. Our commitment of making Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live for people with disabilities also includes the development of a comprehensive Disability Strategy. Outlined in the Plan for Growth, the strategy will address accessibility, affordability and availability of housing; transportation; employment; education; support for community inclusion; and support for caregivers. Other priorities may emerge through consultation.

Check here for Upcoming RETREAT Info!
Take every opportunity now to feel life, without judgment or expectation, worry or agenda.
Feel grains of sand as they pass beneath your feet. Feel the warmth on your face as the deep red glow of sunrise first touches the morning.
What are you feeling in your life today?
When we live within our natural rhythms we are living a healthy life. You will feel positive energy, an amazing sense of well-being and experience Calm, Peace and Joy in your life.
Any experience of illness is our bodies way of telling us that something is not right within us and often manifests because of emotional distress and negative energy. The "not so good feelings" of body and mind are an indicator of the "not so good situation" that is now our reality.
Often our natural rhythms are disrupted by being overwhelmed with day to day expectations, with the foods that we eat, environmental toxins (physical and mental) and with the demands that we put on our bodies.
The good news is that you are reading this now and you are taking a step toward your new truth – your natural, healthy, great feeling you! We will take that step, and many more together!
Ancient native healers used to remove the barriers to healing or strengthen the patient's immune system through ritual and ceremony because their belief was that healing is a natural capacity of human beings.
It was a time when prevention was more important than treatment. What is stopping us from taking that same approach with our health and our lives today?
I believe that we are all capable of implementing health practices in our day to day lives that will improve our energy levels, allow us to feel better, sleep better, weigh less, DE-stress and prevent illness. Regardless of what your current situation is, in addition to a new perspective on you, the benefits to you are going to transform the way that you feel about you!
Feel your own presence as it joins with the presence of others. Feel the thrill and freshness of thinking thoughts you have never thought before.
Feel the power of determination when the situation must be changed. Feel the confidence that comes from allowing yourself to create transformation in your life.
Feel love as it directs you in ways you cannot understand.
This experience is open to everyone, however…….
If you are someone who has recently been diagnosed with an illness such as cancer and you are feeling overwhelmed, I offer you the opportunity to create some practices in your life to help you understand your situation and provide you with some ideas and tools to use during your healing.
Some basic and natural practices that will not interfere with any type of treatment that you will or are taking toward recovery, one small step at a time.
Feel the essence of life itself as it continues to unfold in every moment all around you – as we take these steps together.

How to make an online review of Avatar Freaking awesome!
Just stumbled upon this absolutely class animation from Greg Mutt and Busty Kelps (Cant guarantee these are their real names!?). Incredible facial animation and voice over/ background noise. Not quite the internet sensation it should be but definitely the best things I have seen in 2011.

Barbell Club: 4/29/16: Week 10- Day 5/
We are now moving into our Pre Competition Stage and moving out of our Base Stage of training. In the base stage you noticed a wide variety of exercises all performed at a higher volume, with relatively low intensity. In the Pre Competition Stage we will focus more on the actual lifts and specific strength work, both performed at a high intensity. We are looking to peak at the May 22nd meet. Even if you are not lifting in the meet, we will still have you peak, then rest, and then start a new phase of training. So in short, we are gearing up to compete and smash PRs.
5x and 3x Per Week
A.) Snatch- 85 x 1 (10x)
B.) Clean and Jerk- 85x1 (10x)

Eight cantors from around South Florida will participate in the annual Cantors Concert at the B`nai Torah Congregation, 1401 NW Fourth Ave., Boca Raton. The concert is 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

NEW YORK -- A survey dealing with relations among the branches of Judaism finds that Orthodox rabbis are most likely to blame Reform Judaism for Jewish divisions, and Reform rabbis are most likely to blame the Orthodox.
However, Conservative Judaism was not likely to be blamed. Queens College sociologist Samuel Heilman, who conducted the survey for the American Jewish Committee, said, ``Obviously, one of the benefits for Conservative Jews of being in an intermediate position is that none of the other groups hold them most to blame for religious rifts.``
Ethnic food is sometimes determined by climate and what is available. But the development of one Jewish food was influenced by religious law. This food is known as cholent, and its evolution and many varieties are explored in a new book, Come for Cholent: The Jewish Stew Cookbook (Bloch, 1991).
The author, Kay Kantor Pomerantz, explains that traditional Jewish law prohibits the kindling of fire on the Sabbath, from sundown on Friday until the stars come out on Saturday.
``It is nevertheless considered a mitzvah -- a good deed -- to eat a hot meal at midday on Saturday,`` she writes. ``Over the centuries, Jews throughout the world have worked out a number of ingenious solutions for this dilemma. All involve food cooking overnight on a very low heat.`` Cholent, she writes, ``is any combination of food that has the stamina to withstand 24 hours of cooking!``

Iran has many allies in the region alone with the Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Syria, Pakistan and Iraq along with their strong diplomatic ties with China and North Korea. An attack on Iran means a war is almost certain and it would quickly spread engulfing the entire region and possibly the world.
For the first paragraph that Pro has presented, I'd like to point out some of the contradictions in his logic.
He starts by noting that
Despite Iran's nuclear development program continuing
However, the argument then progresses to the threat of embarrassment the US government would cause itself after allegations turned out to be false. Wait... what?
If we both agree that Iran does have a dangerous nuclear program and are developing nuclear bombs, what's the threat of getting it wrong?
To refute his second point, I'd like to point out that many countries that the US has previously attacked has also had a significantly high amount of allies, but the US, being trigger happy and dependant on weapon manufacturers went ahead and did it anyways. An attack on Iran would not mean the start of WWIII since not that many countries would support a country that is developing nuclear bombs, and even if China did support Iran, it's unlikely that they would directly interfere and send troops over.
Now, to begin my argument.
It's in quite recent times that Obama has announced the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. They're in for a nightmare of soldiers with PTSDs, the media getting on their back for war horrors, etc. But, the American have a foolproof way to get out of this. Go into war with Iran!
The American economy and public are all very worrisome factors for the government right now. However, if the US charges into Iran, it can:
a) Have a huge boost to major companies that produce weapons since they need to destroy Iran
b) Delude the American public so that they will be scared of the 'Iran Threat', thus distracting them from domestic problems such as (Insert 9000 character list)
c) Make the president of the US get an achievement, for invading a foreign country
d) Take Iran's oil and sell it to get money
We can conclude that a war with Iran would be exceptionally beneficial to the US, and thus they should fight immediately.
Oh no.
I forgot Israel.
Well, Iran and Israel never got along. In fact, Israel and most Arabian states never got along. What has Israel done in the past? Well, in the Yom-Kippur War, or the 7 day war, they charged over, attacked a country, destroyed their military, took some land, and obtained more security. Thus, I see no reason why Iran should not be immediately attacked by the US and Israel.
Also the threat of WWIII would be dangerously high if there was an attack on Iran, I said in my first argument that Tehran had strong diplomatic ties with China and North Korea and never said anything about them sending troops into Iran although there is always the chance of them arming their allies. My point is though that the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Iranian government, the Palestinian Islamist faction Hamas and the Syrian regime have created a regional alliance and all leaders of the states and organisations have agreed to attack Israel and Western navy vessels in the surrounding waters and possibly the US if either Lebanon, Syria or Iran is attacked. There is no refuting this as Western leaders have admitted this as one of the main reasons why they are not willing to intervene in Syria at the moment. As well the Middle Eastern 'bloc' other neighbouring and nearby countries have vowed to defend Iran against Israel and the US. Iraq has promised to shoot down any Israeli military aircraft as Iraqi airspace would almost certainly be used in an Israeli strike on Iran, as well as this, nuclear-armed Pakistan has threatened to severe all ties with the US and support Iran if the Americans go to war with the Islamic Republic.
I think it is safe to say that your argument is based on the fact that invading Iran would be a major boost for the US economy and the president at the time of the attack. While this may be true, if the US were to go to war in Iran, it may boost the economy although millions even billions of dollars will need to be put into military build up once again and the American economy will continue to fail as it is at the moment. Despite the fact that the US confiscation of oil from oil-rich states means a major revenue for the country, this also happened in Iraq although the US continues to lose money today because military spending is much higher.
Also, boosting support for the president would only be temporary, think about it a lot of Americans supported the invasions of Afghanistan and later Iraq but after a few years and continued loss of personnel many began to question the Western involvement in these countries. Although the war in Iraq is completed, the Afghan war continues and brings more criticism with it.
I don't want to get off topic here so to finish off my argument I just want to say that due to Iran's large number of allies in the region who have vowed to support Tehran in a war with the West the war would quickly expand in the region and when European naval ships are attacked in the Gulf, the states under attack will then be forced to join the war, expanding it out further leading to WWIII.
I'll start by addressing why the alliance between Iran and Syria would not be effective in times of real disputes.
Their government ideologies are fundamentally different since one is Islamic and the other is nationalistic. Essentially, one is secular while the other is heavily religious. Thus, they are essentially incompatible.

Why is going to war with Iran the best choice?
We've been pressuring Iran to stop its nuclear program for years, but it's been ineffective. Computer worms, sanctions have all failed to stop Iran's nuclear program, and Iran has continued to refit their missles for atomic bomb purposes and are stockpiling enriched uranium. Other countries in the Middle East and are :

Computer worms, sanctions have all failed to stop Iran's nuclear program, and Iran has continued to refit their missiles for atomic bomb purposes and are stockpiling enriched uranium. Other countries in the Middle East are not really paying that much attention to the US, and if they fail to make an example of Iran and follow through, we'll have a bunch of dictatorships feeling that they can get away with doing what they want.
It's not only friends of Iran, but also enemies of Iran are also starting their own nuclear arms programs in order to counter the threat. This would spiral into an arms race with devastating consequences. (It's basically what happened before WWI)
Finally, if Iran were to figure out how to make the atomic bomb, it would cripple the West from any interference. If the US or any other countries wants to help citizens of a dictatorship, all Iran has to do is threaten a nuclear war and then no country would really want to get involved. Iran has an atomic bomb program and needs to be stopped. Since diplomatic means have failed, the US and Israel should attack Iran and stop its program.

Graduate Programs
Assistantships may only be awarded to graduate students enrolled full-time (9 s.h.) in campus-based courses within the Department of English at East Carolina University. Assistantship eligibility does not extend to students who have been admitted by exception, non-degree seeking students, or distance education students.
A full-time graduate assistantship (20 hours per week, Fall and Spring semesters) will be worth a minimum of $9,000. Graduate assistants should not work more than twenty hours per week during the academic year. Graduate assistants are limited to twenty-five hours per week in the fall and spring semesters in any combination of appointments: GA/GRA/GTA, self-help, College Work-Study, or EPA/SPA. Foreign students are limited to twenty hours per week, no exceptions (this is a federal requirement).
Annual (Fall and Spring) assistantship amounts for the 2013-2014 academic year within the Department of English provided $10,500 for first-year MA students (20 hours of work per week) and $13,500 for students awarded teaching assistantships during their second year. Assistantship funds are allocated based upon the English Department's established rate. MA students are responsible for fees and tuition (approximately $6,000 for the 2013-2014 academic year). Students are invited to apply for these competitive assistantships once they are admitted to the program. Some out-of-state students will be eligible to receive in-state tuition.
Employees at other state agencies may not hold a graduate assistantship. (Employees of the North Carolina Community College System are exempt from this restriction.)
Full-time campus-based students benefit from assistantships that include working in the writing studio/center as consultants, teaching writing foundations courses, and serving as editorial/writing assistants on
scholarly projects and department journals or
community engagement projects.
Students are ineligible for assistantships if they are not registered by census day. Census day is defined as the day that enrollment is captured and, concurrently, how ECU's funding is awarded. Anyone on an assistantship should be registered on or before the last day to add classes each semester.
In order for graduate assistants to be exempt from FICA tax, they must have a minimum registration of 4 hours for the fall and spring semesters and 3 hours in the summer. If the GA is registered for less than the stated hours, FICA will be withheld.
Students should not receive assistantship support for more than five semesters (excluding summer sessions). Students in doctoral programs should not receive assistantship support for more than ten semesters (excluding summer sessions).
Teaching assistants assigned primary responsibility for the administration, instruction, and evaluation of students enrolled in courses must have satisfactorily completed a minimum of 18 semester hours of English graduate course work and successfully completed ENGL 6625. These students will also receive in-service training, will be under the direct supervision of the Director of Composition, and will be evaluated each semester.
There are a limited number of out-of-state tuition remissions, which cover the out-of-state portion of the student's tuition. The remissions are highly competitive, and each student is awarded the remission via their respective graduate program. The minimum criteria for eligibility are:
The prospective student is strongly advised to apply to their graduate program as early as possible in order to be considered for these awards. For more information, please contact Dr. Andrea Kitta, Director of Graduate Studies in English (firstname.lastname@example.com), or her assistant (firstname.lastname@example.com).
This award is named for Debbie O'Neal, an instructor in the English Department, who died in a plane accident in 2013.

Oh hai.
I've started a number of small projects in the last few months. Starting involving conceiving them, figuring out the details and taking first small steps. And not a single venture has been a complete success.
The stock I bought for my vintage shop is not ideal. There is only one item in mint condition. The others have slight signs of wear and one item makes me think why ever did I buy it. Who would be so crazy to buy something so impractical? Well, I liked the colour. And maybe someone likes it too. And if no one does, I will turn it into cat toys. Because the colour is wonderful and the material is sturdy.
My cat emporium. I was very pleased to have finally found an outlet for my half-hearted wish some 5 years ago – that of making pillows for an additional income. Pillows is the only thing I'm good at designing and sewing, but I couldn't think of who would buy such things. Now I've turned it into making sleeping mattresses for cats. And at first it seemed like a brilliant idea. Until I realised I'd have to make buttons or use zippers rather than make the cases fixed to the mattresses for eternity. My sewing machine is not good enough. It's from the 1950s. It can't do finishing well. It can't do nice button holes. And a new one costs a bunch. But it has to be figured out somehow.
The cat toy I made yesterday lacks stuffing and I need to open it up again (if possible), but it looks better than I expected, so this is a small success among the countless little setbacks.
And lastly, there is my writing. I was feeling unusually confident the last few months. I felt I had become a writer. I could write all of a sudden. And C was not right for telling me I could not. I do develop. I had done so with seemingly no effort, mere absorption of good writing. Anyway, I was bursting with things to write. I wrote some snippets. They confirmed my feelings. I had improved. It was wonderful.
I carried a bunch of ideas with me for a week and a half and then – when I put them down, all the old problems raised their ugly heads again. I got stiff, I got inhibited, I had nothing to say, the inspiration had faded. Thou must not wait for thine inspiration to flee! This is one golden rule I ignored that time. Inhibition is an old friend. I have to consciously deal with that. When I write for an audience, I want it to be good, and the wanting it to be good and the presence of an audience has an unusually crippling effect on me. Just as doing a public presentation or standing in front of a camera has. The desire to be good overrides everything, and you end up sounding really bad, because you are not yourself any more and are afraid of words and unusual turns of phrase. Safety becomes the guiding force. Tedium, effort. When truly inspired, I am a little more free of that, but it is never entirely gone and definitely a constant enemy I have to tackle with.
What with all these setbacks, I haven't yet reached the "I'm not doing it" it phase, though. I'm a little discouraged, but the main thing is to keep at it and some of the setbacks also seem very natural. Of course my first vintage stock trip would not be a complete success. It's not like I'd end up losing money on it either. I will do better next time. The cat toys can be fixed or new ones made. The sewing I will try to figure out somehow. This is the most daunting of the lot for sure. But learning to make beautiful buttonholes IS a matter of practice and if it allows me to sell pillows for cats, I will learn it. Yes, I'm a terribly weird crazy cat person, okay?
And writing, I did a number of things wrong, which led to the first result being poor. I will try again.

Where were you when you knew just what you had to do to become who and what you were created to be? Were you in the middle of something unimportant? Were you on the phone? Were you dreaming? Whatever you were doing you were being blessed with clarity of purpose. Divine love was gently touching you with inspiration, intuition and understanding of your Divine purpose. You were, in that moment, being completely blessed by the Divine.
Were you grateful? Were you thankful for being blessed? Were you aware enough to realize that you have to do something about it? Or didyou just go about your business, forget the blessing and return to a life of mediocrity?
Whatever you chose to do has set the tone for your life until you act on what was revealed to you. This means that you have to let go of any and all distractions to unfolding your Divine purpose in Divine order. It means that you have no more excuses to be mediocre. It means that you have obtained clarity of purpose and it is now up to you to act on that purpose.
Where you go from here is totally up to you. Will you pursue your dreams? Will you act on what was revealed? Or will you end up sitting in a rocking chair in the distant future lamentingover what you could have done? It is your choice.
You have been given the gifts of your Divine purpose, the awareness to know it and the abilities to experience it. The only one that is holding you back is you. Discard your erroneous beliefs, get out of your way and trust in the Divine completely. If you don't, then you will remember that Divine moment of revelation the rest of your life and not know the joy of living it in Divine order.
That moment is a gift. That gift is the present (pun intended). Being here now in the moment and reliving the feelings of that blessing reminds you of the eternity of your dreams, desires and goals. You were created with a Divine purpose and it is up to you to unfold it in Divine order by praying for guidance; meditating to listen to that guidance; and serving humankind by acting on that guidance.
Please, listen to the Divine within and grow and expand into what you were created to be. Nothing else is more important than being you; the YOU that the Divine created you to be! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. (Spirituality Guidance Channel)

Our gym (CrossFit King of Prussia) participates in the Philly Cow Share program where a group of people go in together and buy a grassfed cow. This helps the farmer and distributor by only needing to make one shipment run to us, and the members get a great deal on grassfed beef by technically buying in bulk. People usually end up with an eight (about 43lbs.) or even a sixteenth of a cow and get a range of ground beef, steaks, roasts, etc. But what if you don't want that much cow or don't have a group to go in on a cowshare?
Enter Grassfed Direct. Located in Tacoma, WA, the company was started by …:::dun dun:::… two CrossFitters who were talking one day about where to get grass fed beef. Brian Haynes and Andrew Imholt decided to start their own company in 2010 and this is the result. You can choose individual steaks, roasts, ground beef, etc. where there is no minimum to buy. Their cows are 100% grassfed AND grass finished (did you know that some farms will feed their cows grass for most of their life, but then grain feed them the last few days to fatten them up?? Tricksters…)
I know what you're thinking: their price per pound is high since they are selling individual items. Not true. 1.14lbs. of ground beef is $7.98 ($7/lb), four burger patties are $8.75, and a medium top sirloin steak (1.17lbs) is $14.07 ($12.02/lb). These are very competitive prices, even compared to cow share programs and definitely compared to local markets, at least in the Philadelphia region. And if you compare prices, they aren't that much more than grainfed beef!!
One of the best things that I read on their website was a FLAT shipping rate of $20 to out of state customers. Theoretically you could order 1000lbs. of beef and it would cost $20 to ship across the country! That's crazy to me and frankly, you should take advantage of it because I can see this changing. If you happen to live within 50 miles of Tacoma, you can get FREE shipping for orders over $40 (as of the time of this writing), and if you live even closer, you can pick it up directly. If you live any closer than that, you're probably the cow.
I have absolutely no affiliation with these guys, I am just trying to get you good information about healthy sources of food. Of course, if Andrew and Brian happen to read this and want to send me some "samples," I wouldn't stop them. In fact, I would do a review post! The fact that they are CrossFitters and have a passion for grassfed beef is a match made in heaven.

When creating course materials, it is important to be as inclusive as possible. A common way of working to ensure that materials respond to different approaches to learning is to use Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which proposes inclusive course design. It is a framework that helps to make content, activities and assignments, and instruction accessible to students at different levels, with different abilities, and who take different approaches to learning. While this sounds straightforward and relatively simple, when one dives into the UDL literature and works to implement its guidelines, the task quickly starts to feel overwhelming—at least that's how it made me feel.
Last year, I attended a year-long faculty working group in which we focused on implementing UDL in our courses. Here's what made this a daunting task. A course that is truly adhering to UDL guidelines makes every aspect of the course as inclusive as possible, including the syllabus, lectures, and any online components such as videos, PowerPoints, etc. It can mean creating closed captioning for videos and ensuring that all documents are created and saved in a manner that is screen reader ready.

Michael Fassbender: 'Shame' at the Venice Film Festival
Michael Fassbender suits up for the premiere of his new film, Shame, on Sunday (September 4) at Palazzo del Cinema in Venice, Italy.
The 34-year-old actor hit the red carpet with screenwriter Abi Morgan and director Steve McQueen and also promoted the drama at a photo call earlier in the day.
"Driven by a brilliant, ferocious performance by Michael Fassbender, Shame is a real walk on the wild side, a scorching look at a case of sexual addiction that's as all-encompassing as a craving for drugs," THR reports.

Qualitative Research through Case Studies
`The great strength of this book is that it provides a clear and well-structured overview of some of the diverse approaches that are currently available within the qualitative tradition' - British Journal of Educational Psychology Although most undergraduates are able to collect qualitative data without too much difficulty, they are often less successful in turning this into an interesting, theoretically-informed analysis. Qualitative Research through Case Studies will help students improve the quality of their work through introducing a wide range of traditions, including interpretive approaches such as grounded theory, dramaturgical analysis, ethnomethodology and conversation analysis and political approaches such as critical discourse analysis, feminism and postmodern ethnography. Each chapter introduces the theoretical assumptions of the tradition through discussing a number of case-studies: classic or exemplary studies which illustrate how different researchers have used qualitative methods in researching a variety of topics. There are also practical hints on designing undergraduate projects, exercises and a guide to further reading. The book is intended for students in a wide range of disciplines and should be particularly useful for complete beginners who are interested in conducting qualitative research as part o

There's a blog post I've been putting off for a while now that I just can't anymore. I kept putting it off because honestly, it's silly, but I feel it's my duty at this point to finally avoid it no longer. I MUST do it. I must defend Lori Grimes.
What's that you say? It's stupid because she's a fictional character in The Walking Dead? You're right, of course it's stupid that I feel the need to do this. But then again, most things I feel the need to share my thoughts about are stupid.
Before you read on, I must warn you, there will be spoilers for all seasons of The Walking Dead incoming. So if you don't want to be…you know…spoiled, move along.
First of all, some background. Lori Grimes is the wife of Rick Grimes and mother of Carl Grimes. She is, according to The Walking Dead website, "the emotional center of the group." Not a fighter by any means and much more focused on keeping the home base together whenever Rick and the other action folk are away doing action-y stuff.
Also, let me just say, the oddest thing about this whole topic is, I'm pretty indifferent about her as a character. I don't hate her obviously, but it's not like I defend her out of love of the character. It's just gotten so ridiculous that I feel it's necessary.
Now, ever since the show has been on, from as far back as when I wasn't watching it and only seeing others discuss it on message boards, the internet has not looked kindly on Lori. Around the time of season 1, I was really only seeing internet memes and jokes about her being a terrible mother, alluding to the fact that she never seemed to know where Carl was. So, I'd just kind of chuckled and moved on. I wasn't watching it. What do I care.
|I didn't realize she was Carl, Shane or Sophia
Around the time season 2 had ended, I was seeing more of a smattering and an increasing nastiness in this, for all intents and purposes, hate speech.
"I hate Lori" became much more common to see in discussions of the show.
Before this current season, I started catching up. I cut my way through seasons 1 & 2 very quickly as I'm prone to do with shows I've fallen behind on. As I got further into the series, and the closer we got to season 3 starting, the discussions picked up again. This time, I understood the context, but the vitriol I was seeing against this character was bewildering. And it wasn't just it one place, it was all over the internet and even popped up on my Facebook newsfeed.
"She's the worst." "I hate her stupid face" "Lori's a dumb b****" "I hope they kill her off soon" "She's a terrible mother, wife and excuse for a woman."
That's right. All of those are things I've actually read about this fictional character at one time or another.
Now, let me get a little more in depth for you so you understand the context. I'm going to list out some actions/situations that she's been involved in thus far that are referenced regularly as "reasons Lori is a terrible person."
-Lori was in a sexual relationship with Shane while Rick was in a coma: What we know for a fact is that both Shane and Lori believed Rick to be dead. Shane believed the power was lost to Rick's…er…life support stuff at the hospital. He told Lori Rick was dead. I doubt this was malicious or some devious plot. He thought he was dead.
So as of the first episode, it's evident that Lori and Shane had been "together" for a little while at least.
So as of the first episode, it's evident that Lori and Shane had been "together" for a little while at least.
Now some say they believe there was an affair going on before Rick's coma. I have no reason to believe that.
Some say she may have "gotten with" Shane as a means of survival for her and Carl. I don't really understand that one. Shane didn't seem to need a relationship with Lori to want to protect them.
My opinion, obviously the Grime's marriage wasn't exactly stable. The conversation between Rick and Shane in the first episode was evidence of that. We can't really say how long it'd take someone to move on after finding out their spouse had died. She may have made her peace with it while he was in the coma. We just can't know. We CAN know she moved on with Shane.
Most fans see this as "slutty" or cheating. "Slutty" would be her sleeping with all the guys in the group. Cheating would be her sleeping with Shane while believing Rick was alive.
She tried to keep this relationship a secret when Rick got back at first. This probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but when IS the right time to reveal this info to your back-from-the-"dead" husband during a zombie apocalypse? How would you have handled that?
She's still a human, with emotions and fears. Just because it's a TV show about zombies doesn't mean she can be a cold, purely logical machine to take actions you THINK she should take.
She was with Shane. Rick came back. She immediately put a stop to it and eventually revealed it. I think that's pretty important. Is it a sad thing? Sure. Is it worth vicious hate? Not at all IMO.
-Lori is a terrible mother: Regularly throughout seasons 1 & 2, Carl, a boy of about 13, would sneak off on his own. This led Lori to have to ask "Where's Carl?" Apparently, according to internet logic, this equals "terrible mother".
From what I understand, the idea here is that "Lori doesn't do much except laundry" so watching Carl's every move should be 24/7. If he sneaks off, it's clearly her fault. I mean, when rebellious teens sneak out and cause trouble, taggin' up overpasses and staying out past curfew, it's their parents fault for not watching them like some kind of robot security Hawk(patent pending)
|Not Lori Grimes.
While I give the "haters"(I cringed just typing that word) a bit of leeway on the alleged "cheating scandal" as they may have had experience in real life with it so they're projecting onto TV characters, I don't give this reason any validity at all. First of all, it's a zombie apocalypse with constant moving, hiding and surviving. Applying the rules of our everyday life to this roving lifestyle doesn't work. She can't be "vigilant mother" like she would be pre-zombie. And you'll notice Rick gets a free pass as father since he's "out doing stuff for the group". "Hey Rick, remember how you're also a father? Well good news! You don't have to be anymore!" Yes I "get it". I understand the point. I'm just making light of this stupid argument.
Let's not forget Carl is about 13. He's not some unaware 6 year old. He should know better than to steal people's guns, sneak far away from camp and throw rocks at "walkers" for sport. His actions got Dale killed…and guess what? People blame Lori for that for not watching Carl.

Remember up there where I said "First of all"? Well here's "second of all." Second of all, the show runners, in an interview, discussed their confusion over the "Lori is a bad mother" stuff. They said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "What are we supposed to do, just lock him away? He wouldn't have any stories then."
So we have Lori here to take the blame for Carl getting screen time. She's not the mother we deserve, but the one we need…something something however that quote goes.
Do I give this argument any credence? I should think it's obvious that I don't.
Lori made Rick kill Shane/Her reaction to hearing that he did it: In season 2, Dale became very suspicious of Shane and theorized that he had killed Otis to slow the zombies down. Which is of course exactly what happened. It was clear that Shane was becoming more unhinged, between his severed relationship with Lori, Rick taking over as leader, and his cold methods being looked down on. It probably wasn't exactly a stretch to anyone except maybe Andrea, Carl, and Rick that Shane was capable of sacrificing Otis. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they ALL saw him as a bastion of morality still. But the point is, Dale told Lori to be careful around Shane and what he believed happened with Otis. I don't doubt that Lori didn't know what Shane was capable of. I mean, the guy forced himself onto her at the CDC!(And people still loved Shane by the way. Attempted rapist apparently better than Lori) So in turn, Lori warned Rick to be careful and protect what's his. At no point did she ever say "Kill Shane" or even hint that he should. She WARNED him. Not only that, Rick HAD to kill Shane anyway. Regardless of whether Lori said anything because Shane was planning to kill him. Why people think she told Rick to kill him, I haven't the slightest.
The second part came when Rick told Lori what happened. After hearing the news that he and Carl had to put down Shane, she pulled away in what looked like resentment I suppose. So of course people say not only did she make Rick(an adult and a former sheriff's deputy) kill Shane, but that she then got mad at him for it.

So of course people say not only did she make Rick(an adult and a former sheriff's deputy) kill Shane, but that she then got mad at him for it.
I don't buy that it was that simplistic. Again, she's a human with emotions. She at one time had feelings for Shane. Shane was also a father figure to Carl while Rick was gone, and seemed to spend more time with him I might add. So first she's hit with the news that Shane was dead, but also that her 13 year old boy had to put down zombie Shane. What people wanted was for her to be a rock and a shoulder of support for Rick. But honestly, I don't know how emotionally realistic that is. Everyone takes bad news differently. I think she went through multiple emotions. I'm sorry that she didn't immediately spring into action as super supportive wife. I'm sorry that she's not one-dimensional.
And of course if you'd let it play out, you'd see in this current season, Lori is very regretful of how she handled the situation, you know, like a real person might be.
And of course if you'd let it play out, you'd see in this current season, Lori is very regretful of how she handled the situation, you know, like a real person might be.
So, you know I understand why people my not like what she did there, but is it worth the hate? I don't think so.
Lori's lecture to Andrea about chipping in/suicide conversation:
In season 2, Andrea was being taught to shoot by Shane somewhat secretly. I say somewhat because while it wasn't a secret per se, it was just not common knowledge. She eventually finds out she's a fantastic shot, so she begins keeping watch on top of the RV and in her seeming trigger happiness, once mistook Daryl for a walker and shot at him grazing his head.
Also around this time, Beth, Herschel's daughter, was talking about "opting out" or killing herself to avoid becoming a zombie. This is something Andrea had discussed in season 1 and Dale talked her out of it.
I say all that as just background and setup.
Both in the same episode, Lori confronts Andrea about helping out more with the laundry and cooking and spending less time "working on her tan on top of the RV". Honestly…I've HONESTLY heard people reference this conversation as Lori believing women should be in the kitchen "cookin' and cleanin'" while the menfolk go out. I'd thought I'd heard it all on this topic until I heard this ridiculousness. I would say it's not worth countering, but there are people who actually think buy into this argument so I must. But really, there's not much to say except at no point is it ever hinted at or alluded to that Lori believes that. Never. All I got out of that conversation was that Lori didn't seem to think Andrea was pulling her weight. A.) Lori didn't know Andrea could kind of shoot. B.) She didn't tell her to stop taking her turn at watch.
They say "Who's Lori to talk? She doesn't seem to do anything." You know, accept most of the laundry, cooking, keeping everyone emotionally stable and BEING more emotionally stable than others in the group, and keeping the group in line under Rick in season 1. For someone who doesn't do anything, everyone sure comes to her a lot.
The second part, the suicide conversation, happened around the same time. As mentioned, Beth was under suicide watch…kind of. Andrea believed she should have the right to die as she sees fit. Lori wanted to prevent her from killing herself.
It seems people had a problem with Lori intervening. I don't really want to get TOO into it because people have different views on suicide. But in the context of the show, no one seemed to hate Dale for stopping Andrea's suicide. If he hadn't, there'd be no Andrea. Honestly, I just think this is a combination of their hate of Lori so they disagree with whatever she says, and an indifference to Beth. If it was a fan favorite character in either position, I bet you they wouldn't hate them for doing the same thing Lori did. It's contradiction at it's finest.
I'm not going to get deep into suicide though. I mean, my own personal views are probably what put me on Lori's side on this one, but other than saying that, I won't go into it.
Lori drove off to find Rick by herself and crashed the car: I don't really have much to say here. It was a stupid decision on her part and it just seemed like a plot device anyway. She never went off by herself any other time Rick was gone, so why start then?
So this one I can consider legitimate. Stupid decision? Of course. Any stupider than anyone else's? Nope, and definitely not worth putting her into a "hate category"(patent pending) above anyone else. Don't forget, stupid Carl and psycho/near-rapist Shane still existed at this point and people hated them less…..
|Look out everyone, Lori's being obnoxious again!
Lori is obnoxious: Um….what?! No…just no.
Lori hid her pregnancy: Like her former relationship with Shane, Lori found out she was pregnant and hid it from Rick . I get this one in a way. That's a big thing to hide. But I understand the fear. She didn't know whose baby it was. She didn't want to bring a baby into that world. A pregnant woman trying to survive the zombie outbreak? What would her chances be, really? Are those valid reasons to hide it? Not really.
She had Glenn bring her some "kill the baby" pills and struggled internally over whether to take them. She eventually threw them up. Rick saw the package and ran to stop her. That's when he found out.
I won't go much more into that. You either accept that as a reason to hate her or you don't.
Though some people say she fed Shane's obsession by telling him she wasn't sure whose baby it was and complimenting him. I wouldn't quite go that far unless you're looking for reasons to hate her and I think people do. Given...it was probably stupid of her to even open communication with Shane after the rape attempt. Not telling anyone is one thing to keep chaos from breaking out, but to keep talking to him only makes him think he didn't do anything wrong. But it's okay because he's dead now.
|This one's just because...well...look at her.
So those are the basic arguments I hear on the internet but stated in a much more angry way for some reason. Some are utterly ridiculous. Some are somewhat legitimate reasons to either dislike her at the time or think it was a stupid move. But honestly, none of them, to me, are valid reasons for the insanely vicious hate she gets and I don't think I'll ever quite be able to get to that point these angry people are at. I mean, good Lord, I actually read a comment in which someone said they believed that she doesn't deserve forgiveness for anything she's done. Like…at all. That's just bizarre to me. I don't like NOT understanding certain things which is why I think this gets under my skin so much. I like to see validity or at least a reasonable argument for an opinion. Saying "She's dumb and I hate her" doesn't work for me. Giving a mixed bag makes me go insane and blog about it. Saying "Bieber sucks" makes me ask "Why do you think that?" It can't be his singing because he can sing.
Look internet, I'm not saying you HAVE to like Lori Grimes, or that you can't dislike her. Just give me reasonable answers when I ask. Don't carry your love for Shane and bitterness that his head got shot up right good and stomach region got stabbed around and take out your anger on Lori.
Just…let it go….take a deep breath…and let it all go…..
Once you clear your head of all meme influences and the bias of a one-time, overblown event in the grand scheme of this fictional character's life in a zombie apocalypse, you'll see things my way.

Nothing to see here. move along
interesting tool
Whoa, sweet! I'm gonna test it right now! BTW, is the setting.txt problem corrected (the one that randomly fails at locating the file on the SD root)? Thanks, meh!
EDIT: nevermind, just readed the readme.txt.
It seems the source i got was broken hmm, looking for a better source, or i'll try to fix it, either way currently this build is dead.
I posted your release on We Brew Wii. So I guess I have to remove it since its broken.
Lets us know when you get a working version going.
Yea the source i used was old and was missing alot of stuff like all the data\certs ext, like GC pad support which i re-added, but it seems it also can't restore property also,
So i either have to fix that, or find a better base Source. may just drop it if i can't fix it
Ok I got it Fixed and re-uploaded it
Thank you letting us know. Great that you got it fixed.
Reposted your build on We Brew Wii
What version is the build at now?
0.21? The last one was 0.2, though...
second build but i'm not really keeping up with the version number
And Added to Wiibrew
v1 Mod ?
Yep i called it that cause i could only find the V1 Source and its a Mod of that, But wasn't thinking
anyways i changed the Version number to v0.21 I forgot to update the xml though
And i did test it, Had to brick my wii to do so, but it works fine
it is a convenient tool.
does It have a Japanese version stting.txt?
Nope, I think. You'll have to extract it from another JAP console if you really need the file, if your Wii is bricked or if the WiiMote connection is lose.
Haha, it works like a charm, .
thank you. I extracted the setting.txt form my JAP wii.
