How to Use a Full Spectrum Light for SAD
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) occurs during winter when people are exposed to fewer hours of natural sunlight. Symptoms of this condition include anxiety, fatigue, depression, overeating, weight gain and oversleeping. About half a million Americans experience SAD, or winter-onset depression, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Using full-spectrum lights as light boxes or special bulbs and lamps can help reduce the negative symptoms of SAD.
Video of the Day
Decide on a Visor, Lightbox or Bulbs
Step 1
Determine what kind of exposure to full-spectrum light is best for you. If you are comfortable wearing a special visor imbedded with full-spectrum lights under the brim, consider wearing it first thing in the morning for at least 30 minutes. If your eyes or skin are very sensitive to sunlight, this might not be a good option for you.
Step 2
Experiment with using a lightbox. These are sold online or in specialty stores. It may appear to be an actual box-like structure that can be propped up on a kitchen table or countertop. Generally, it is recommended that 30 minutes of daily exposure to full-spectrum light can reduce or eliminate the negative effects of SAD.
Step 3
Install full-spectrum light bulbs in the light fixtures and lamps that you use in the morning. The idea behind light therapy is to have early morning and end of day exposure to full-spectrum light. For those who may not want to always use a light box, consider taking a walk for 15 minutes first thing in the morning and again for 15 minutes at the end of the day before dusk.
Step 4
Consult with your doctor: depending on the strength of your light box, she may advise 15 minutes to start, adding a few minutes at a time to build up to even two hours. The light box is categorized by lux, a measurement of light according to the distance from its source. The light box is usually made in 2,500 to 10,000 lux types.

FEDERICO AUBELE played an amazing show last night at the Rock-N-Roll Hotel where Washingtonians got to experience his fourth studio album, BERLIN 13, live. The elements of this album include dub, electronica, acoustic guitar with Latin & European undertones. His voice and the music are sultry; now get to know the man...
Q. Let's get down to brass tacks. Tell fans where they can find, get a taste of, and ultimately buy your new album BERLIN 13 (we haven't stopped listening to it by the way!)?
A. They can check it out and get it on iTunes, Amazon, E Music, the ESL MUSIC SHOP.
Q. You've said that you've always been fascinated by electronica and that this album has more of an "electronic element" running through it then your previous albums. Do you ever feel pressure to make sure that your sound is constantly evolving?
A. I like to make my sound evolve. It's basically a reflection of how you are. There are certain elements of you personality that always remain constant, and other aspects you change. With the music is the same, some elements define your work and others you change, thus evolving and changing. I don't think it's a good thing for an artists to remain static.
Q. We loved it when you were explaining that you can manipulate electronica more like a painter then a musician. Please share with our readers how that process works for you.
A. I think technology got to the point where, if you work with electronic media, you can really create and finish your work, pretty much like a painter or a writer, without having to go through a lot of other people. Painters don't have to go through a sound engineer, a guy that mixes, another guy that does the mastering, etc. It's a much more direct creative experience and I think that is great.
Q. You are on the ESL Music Label. How did you originally hook up with Eric Hilton and Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation?
A. I sent them a demo, years ago. Eric wrote me back an email with notes for every song on the CD. He told me to send him more tracks whenever I was ready. I think i sent him about 3 demos total and then he said that they liked my work and that they wanted to have me on the label.
Q. We love your video Bohemian Rhapsody in Blue . Tell us what the filming of that video was like; you filmed it in England, no?
A. We filmed in London, in Stock Newington, which is a really nice area. We shot mostly indoors, but there were some scenes we had to do in a Park. I remember that while we were shooting, there were some older guys that work in the Park looking at us. They were very curious with what we were doing and kept commenting and talking to us in such a thick cockney accent, that none of us could figure out what they were saying.
Q. What is your studio at home in Brooklyn like? You mentioned that you loved the fact that today's technology allows you to do it yourself.
A. My studio is very computer based. I have a pair of really nice monitors, a nice pre-amp, a really good <Photo 2>mike, some guitars, a bass and a bunch of MDI controllers. The rest I do inside the computer, it's all good software. Some years ago technology was still not that good and you would need a lot more hardware. This works well for me because of how i work and the type of music that I make. If you have an acoustic Jazz trio, you might need to go to an actual recording studio, it's a different scenario.
Q. Your tour has officially kicked off! Where else will you be performing?
A. We go to Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Aspen, then to the west coast, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, L.A., San Diego, Las Vegas and Austin, and we finish the tour in NYC, at the Gramercy Theatre.
Q. During our interview it came out that you bartered guitar lessons for learning how to read tarot cards in your native Argentina. You still read cards today. What do you primarily use this unique skill for now?
A. I use it mostly as a self analyzing tool. It helps you a lot to get in touch with your subconscious and figure out things. Most people relate it to seeing the future, or asking questions about love and fortune. But for me it works really well to communicate with myself.
Q. We spoke a little bit about your interest in psychology and how you feel that both creative energy and sexual energy come from the same place. How would you say this has manifested in your work?
A. Sexual energy is what makes humans relate to one another and in some cases reproduce. It's a very powerful thing. I red somewhere that the energy that makes you want to have sex with someone and the one that makes you want to be friends with some people is the same, the difference is just in the dose, but it is all attraction. The music is creation and thus it is sexual energy, whether your music sounds obviously sensual or not, it's the same energy that powers it.
Q. Caring for the environment is a top priority for you. What is one way you think each American can make a big difference starting tomorrow? One little change that can have an impact?
A. One little change goes a long way. Just simple things like using your own grocery tote bags when you go shopping instead of bringing back home a lot of plastic bags. That already helps a lot. Recycling is very important too, but ultimately, the less amount of trash you generate, the better.
Q. What are the 5 songs and artists that have been looping on your iPod this week?
1) Actress - Hubble
2) Lone - Ultramarine
3) Gonja Sufi - Ancestors
4) A Certain Ratio - Shack Up
5) Mala - Don't Let me Go

The crisscrossing back alleys of Austin's older neighborhoods are a prominent but under-appreciated feature of the city's urban landscape. Overgrown with trumpet vines, scrapped cars, graffiti-covered fences, and the occasional pomegranate tree, these spaces present a latent potential for reclamation and recognition through artistic interventions.
Inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark, feral cats and New Urbanism, the Alley Cat Project is a distributed outdoor exhibition of 11 site-specific artworks that quietly activate the back alleys of East Austin. A grant from the Idea Fund allowed MASS — a collective of Austin artists, writers and curators — to commission new works by Texas-based and out-of-state artists. The Idea Fund is a re-granting initiative, supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and distributed by DiverseWorks, Aurora Picture Show and Project Row Houses in Houston. The Alley Cat Projects will be installed at locations throughout East Austin between December 2012 and December 2013 and will remain on site for one year.
For more images, visit Alley Cat Project album. We'll be posting images of the pieces as they're completed.

Walla Walla Valley
Early October 1999, 8:00 pm, the winery phone rings as we're crushing syrah. It's Norm McKibben, managing partner of Seven Hills Vineyards. "Chuck, I have one extra ton of sangio. It's our first ever, are you interested?" "Absolutely! You know I'm always up for learning something new." The adventure begins.
This magnificent wine is crafted in both a Supertuscan style that world renowned Italian winemaker Piero Antinori made famous in the 1960's by blending sangiovese grosso with Bordeaux varietals (merlot and cabernet sauvignon), and as a superior Riserva (prolonged aging) similar to the great Italian Brunellos of Montalcino in Tuscany.
After three years in large 500 liter barrels known as puncheons and over one and a half years in the bottle, this beautiful wine has achieved the "CIMA."
50% Sangiovese
25% Cabernet Sauvignon
25% Merlot
Tasting Notes
Close your eyes and slowly take in the scent of wild black cherry and plum intertwined with tobacco, anise and a touch of vanilla. Bathing the palate is a juicy mountain of cassis, dried cherry and exotic spice while bing cherry and cigar box spice climb to the top. Like weathered stone the tannins are round and smooth. Fruit melded with peaty toast cling to the summit like a tailing cloud. Bacchus is smiling!
– Chuck Reininger, Winemaker

Discussion in 'Black Hat SEO Tools' started by catonkeyboard, Jun 7, 2012.
Is there any tool out that than can create pinterest accounts from scratch?
Get it on fiverr at fiverr.kom/nijinashok00/create-any-imacros-script-and-automate-your-task. Replace K in Kom with C
No dude, No bot creates account perfectly. Even If it does, It cannot sign-up as per new sign-up procedures.
???? Don't talk crap!
You only need some twitter accounts and email accounts to get your pinterest accounts. You can try to create your own imacro or bot. You can also use scrapebox or create the accounts manually (don't waste your time on searching for a bot).
How much want you pay for a bot?
OMG!! You are right. I don't why the hell I always used an Invite along with twitter + Emails to sign-up. Also I don't know why I am verifying emails by pinterest. Seriously you en-lightened me. iMacros is indeed an awesome piece of software, its eating up sales of Zennoposter. Creating accounts manually is a work everyone in the world dying to do.
I know a custom bot would do the work. But I told him about the bots available in the market. Don't take it to your heart.
Good Luck for this sale.

Lemon Poppyseed Chickpea Muffins

Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I came up with this recipe in 2003 as when I was dabbling with a low-glycemic, gluten-free diet. I've had many people fooled that this wasn't made with flour. In early incarnations, I used Splenda (or half sugar/Splenda); but as Splenda is a really hideous chemical pharmaceutical concoction (that leaves a nasty aftertaste too), I decided to go with real sweeteners as of late. These make a healthy breakfast alternative to whatever Dunkin Donuts offers, and as their nutritional profile consists of abundant complex carbs, healthy fat and protein, these make great pre-workout or recovery snacks. —avantgurlnyc
Serves: 12 muffins
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
large eggs
tablespoons oil, a monounsaturated, neutral tasting one
15-oz cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
cup palm sugar (you can use cane sugar, but it won't be low glycemic. i haven't tried agave nectar, as it messes with the liquid proportions)
lemons, zested in one bowl and 1 squeezed in another
teaspoons vanilla
teaspoons baking powder
teaspoons xanthan gum or guar gum (optional, to help bind)
1 ½
tablespoons poppyseeds
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard-size muffin baking tray with paper baking cups. Note: If You Care® unbleached paper baking liners are great as you don't need to grease your pan and your baked good doesn't stick (it's a pet-peeve of mine when half of a muffin/cupcake is stuck to the paper).
- In a blender, add all ingredients (in order as they are listed) except the lemon juice and poppyseeds. Blend until very smooth. Add juice and poppyseeds and blend more until seeds are evenly distributed in batter.
- Pour batter into the lined muffin tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins pass the clean toothpick test. (You can also bake this in a cake or loaf pan.)
- Remove from tray and let cool. Refrigerate or freeze or eat them up as they can spoil easily. (If refrigerated, you can heat them in the microwave for 15 seconds or so. Longer if frozen, obviously.)
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Like its predecessor, the "Black" collection will feature four Air Force 1 sneakers, in which three styles have been designed specifically for men—the Low, Mid, and High. The sneakers are equipped with black leather, a brown tumbled leather Nike swoosh, and a healthy dose of bright accent colors.

Islamabad: India`s spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and Israel`s Mossad, through their "strong network in Afghanistan", were behind the suicide attack on a Shia procession in Quetta that killed 73, an editorial in a Pakistani paper said on Sunday.
"The suicide attack on the Yaum-al-Quds (Jerusalem Day) in Quetta appears to be a carefully considered conspiracy and it must be borne in mind that both the Indian agency RAW and Israeli agency Mossad have set up a strong network in Afghanistan. It is through this network only that the Quetta rally was targeted," the editorial in the Nawa-i-Waqt said.
"It was thus that after the devastation of the floods, a new chapter of a tragedy began in Baluchistan," it added.
At least 73 people were killed and more than 150 injured in a blast that ripped through a Shia procession near Meezan chowk in Quetta on Friday. The banned Sunni radical group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi had claimed responsibility for the attack.
The editorial cited informed sources as saying that preliminary investigations into the explosions outside Karbala Gamay Shah in Lahore on Wednesday in which 35 people were killed, also indicated a conspiracy by "external agencies" and clues had been found that suggested "forces inimical to Pakistan" had joined hands to start a new campaign of destabilisation.
It said all political parties and leaders of Pakistan must take serious note of these incidents, which are a series of a "new wave of tension and terrorism" and acknowledge that their "wrong political policies" were responsible for the difficult phase the country is passing through.
Noting that former president Pervez Musharraf had cited the growing network of Indian agents in Balochistan striving to misguide the population and turn them against Pakistan, it said the present dispensation is not ready to admit to the possibility of a "foreign hand" in even the biggest terrorist outrages happening in the province.
"A move to restore rights to the people of Balochistan and to bring them in the mainstream was begun but fell hostage to the political tug-of-war between various parties and ultimately petered out. Meanwhile Indian and Israeli agents are working day and night in Balochistan to foment trouble, under the clear supervision of America, which is also helping them in this endeavour," it said, calling on all politicians to get their act together and seriously take up the challenges facing the nation.

In the first couple weeks of freshman year, I noticed signs around campus recruiting volunteers for Volunteer Lawyer's Project, a low-income legal services organization in Portland, ME. I thought that it would be a great way to get off campus and do something good for the greater community. I interviewed, received training and was off and running. It has been a truly wonderful service experience – or else I wouldn't have stuck with it for four years! What have you gained from your service experiences and working in the community? I now realize that no matter how hard I work, I will always get more out of serving others than they ever get from me! I come away from my service activities humbled and in awe of both the people I assist and the professionals with whom I work. In addition, getting off campus and down to Portland each week has given me the opportunity to explore other places in Maine that I may never have discovered. It took me out of my comfort zone on multiple occasions and forced me to confront the realities of low-income families in the state I've called home for a few years. What does it mean to serve the Common Good? It means using whatever is at your disposal to make your community a healthier, more peaceful and supportive environment in which to live and work.

Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sex abuse and is serving a lengthy prison sentence. His arrest tarnished Penn State's storied football program and led to Paterno's firing. Paterno died of lung cancer at age 85.
The group planning the vigil is called Inspiration Way and says it's a tribute group.

The word from our sponsor
I never gambled in Casino New South Wales. Then I moved to Queensland and the Government warned me to gamble responsibly in Queensland. They put a big sign on the back of the school buses. My first government job was in the Education Department in the Treasury Building. Years later the Treasurer wanted an internet betting licence and they
turned the Treasury Building into a Casino.
Then I drove the bus donated by the Casino Community Benefit Fund, but they would not tell me the passenger load
limit. So I became the Secretary of the Workplace Health and Safety and they still would not tell me the safe load limit.
Then I became a Passenger Load Surveyor and they still crammed them in. Then
Daniel Morcombe
went missing for good because the bus was overloaded and didn't stop for him so the Government
said there will be no more refusing of kids on buses but the transit officers continued kicking them
off. So I started
Child Safety World
in Queensland to teach the clowns a lesson.
Now I am an addict of responsible gambling at
Crypto Magic World
in Queensland..

With a premier location in a Parisian neighborhood that's always entrancing and endlessly fun, the Saint Julien is a divine option for an inspired French holiday.
Our successful Paris apartment rental business began with one special pied-à-terre located on the Left Bank near the Eiffel Tower. Friends and family loved staying there for the fantastic Paris views and the location – walking distance to cafés, landmarks and wonderful shops. We have a passion for sharing "la vie Parisienne"—the Parisian
lifestyle—and that passion fueled the creation of our boutique vacation rental company. Our goal is to help you fall in love with Paris while discovering, exploring, tasting and savoring new sights and experiences in the incredible City of Light!
You invest a lot to come to Paris and we want you to enjoy every minute, from the moment you wake up in the morning and buy buttery warm croissants around the corner to enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sunset behind the Eiffel Tower. We know you have dozens of options to evaluate on VRBO. We have nearly 20 years of experience finding the very best vacation rentals in Paris. What makes our apartments unique is that they're beautifully decorated, welcoming and located in the best and safest locations in Paris. Most of our apartments offer stunning Paris views for memories of a lifetime. Most important, there is a friendly English-speaking team available onsite seven days a week to help you in every way. They are there to offer a warm welcome when you arrive, to answer questions and help you feel at home.
You'll love living like a Parisian surrounded by a charming Paris neighborhood and strolling to landmarks and monuments nearby. Our apartments are located near lovely open-air markets where you can shop alongside Parisians for the freshest foods to enjoy at your home away from home in Paris. That is what we want you to experience in Paris, so you'll come back again and again!
Paris Perfect purchased this apartment in 2004
The fabulous 7th arrondissement in Paris offers the best access to everything we love and enjoy! It's a beautiful old quartier that has maintained a village-like atmosphere, surrounded by bistros and shops so you can truly experience the joy of living like a Parisian. And of course, the 7th arrondissement is home to one of the world's most visited attractions – the Eiffel Tower! For many of our guests their apartment with a view of "La Grand Dame" is the most memorable part of their vacation as they enjoy front row seats to the nightly light show from the comfort of their private balcony or living room.
Enjoy a café' au lait along the wonderful rue Cler market street, filled with cafés, restaurants, specialty food stores and fresh fruit and vegetable stalls. Do a spot of window shopping along Rue Saint Dominique or have a picnic in the beautiful Champ de Mars, a beautiful outdoor space with playgrounds, walking tracks and gardens at the base of the Eiffel Tower. You are walking distance to many of Paris' most popular sights including Invalides, Ecole Militaire, Army Museum, Rodin Museum, and the Orsay Museum. You can also cross the river to the Right Bank for fabulous world-class shopping or hop on a bus or train to Notre Dame, Louvre, department stores, Moulin Rouge and more!
The 7th arrondissement is one of the safest in Paris; it costs more to invest in the 7th, but to us, it is worth every penny. We greet our butcher, baker and local cheese specialist daily. They know what our favorite cheeses are and make their suggestions. They know the exact kind of baguette we want each day, not too brown and crusty for soft cheese. That is what we have been lucky enough to find in our neighborhood and we hope you'll have a chance to enjoy the same special lifestyle.
Decorated in a cheery French Provençal style, the popular Saint Julien is a gorgeous and sunny apartment featuring large French windows facing onto the beautiful Champ de Mars Gardens and a view of the nearby Eiffel Tower through the trees. Features 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a modern kitchen - complete with Nespresso machine!
Our family of 5 could not have enjoyed more! The Eiffel Tower was spectacular and enjoyed by all. The park across the way took care of a lot of needed walks. The shopping, groceries and those great patisseeries were all maybe too nearby. We did use them!
The apartment was very comfortable and we did not feel crowded in any way. It had more than we could expect.
The local Paris Perfect people wer wonderful. We do hope to return! Thanks to all for making a great holiday season for all our family!
We loved everything about the Paris Perfect experience. Everyone we communicated with was extremely professional, friendly and very helpful.
The Saint Julien Apartment was exactly what we needed for a wonderful visit to Paris. For us, the location was perfect for sightseeing and we found everything we needed within walking distances down Rue St Dominique!
4 out of 5 stars only because the master bedroom was extremely small.
My family- husband and 2 teenage daughters of St. Julien apartment! It was a wonderful location with lots of fantastic restaurants right down the street. The apartment had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. Having 2 bathrooms with teenage daughters was a big plus as was having a washer and dryer. We hope to returning the near future and would definitely stay again. Thank you!
We had a lovely time! The amenities were beautiful and very comfortable. All the Paris Perfect staff were very attentive to our needs and provided us with copies and vouchers for all of our itinerary. We can't wait to come back!
We spent a delightful week in the Saint Julien on our first visit to Paris. The location is ideal, just a few steps to wonderful patisseries and cafes. We were there during the 2016 Euros and despite large crowds nearby the apartment was extremely quiet. A small disadvantage is the metro is a bit of a hike but you can catch a bus or easily hail a taxi in the area. The apartment is bright and very comfortable. We would certainly return to this lovely apartment for another stay.
We originally stayed in Bordeaux and then moved to Saint Michel as Bordeaux was across from the Euro 2016 Fan Zone and we were unable to sleep for the first three nights. Under any other circumstances, Bordeaux would have been wonderful. We were very thankful to have been moved to Saint Michel. While we would have typically been concerned about the noise on Blvd. Saint Michel, we knew it would have to be quieter than the fan zone. However, the apartment was very quiet and you could not hear the street noise. The bedrooms are quite small with virtually no storage space but the living space is wonderful, particularly the terrace overlooking many of the major sites of Paris. It is also very well situated.
"We had a lovely experience during our week renting the St. Julien apartment in December, 2015. We were initially booked for the Pomerol but there was work being done in that building when we arrived so Paris Perfect offered to upgrade us to the St. Julien at no additional cost which turned out to be just fine. The apartment is very commodious for two people, even having two bathrooms and an extra "sitting room" which was great for storing the luggage. Beautifully decorated, the St. Julien has every accoutrement you could desire, including a Nespresso machine--so wonderful before setting out for a long day of walking! The only "tight squeeze" in the apartment is the bedroom where the queen-size bed is a bit tight against the outside wall and very near the luxurious, pooling draperies The best part about the St. Julien is the location: 7th Arr., diagonal from the Champs du Mars and Eiffel Tower, right on the corner of the Rue St. Dominique and a stone's throw from the Rue Cler. There is really good shopping around this area and you can walk to Paris Perfect's office around the corner, bus stops and taxi stands are just across the street, a bakery is right next door (one of two on the block, along with a market, a vegetable/fruit stand, a wine shop, a chocolatier, two cheesy souvenir shops, a pharmacy and many wonderful restaurants.) In my opinion, this part of the 7th is the best location for restaurants in Paris and you can easily walk throughout the 7th and over to the 15th (which has a wonderful outdoor market on Wednesdays and Sundays) and the Rue de Commerce. The whole area is a less "manic" Paris, and, in parts, more like a high-class neighborhood. Major bus lines collide here and you can go virtually anywhere and enjoy the scenery as well.
Discover Paris in the heart of the Left Bank of Paris! Walk to landmarks, museums, shopping, cafe's and open markets; live like a Parisian! Stroll to the romantic Seine river at sunset and fall in love again. Shop at the best bakeries, fruit shops, butcher, cheese shops, supermarkets: the famous Rue Cler is 4 blocks away -- known for its food market, fishmongers, tarte shops, fresh fruits/vegetable shops, patisseries and bakeries. World Class Shopping! Couturiers Ave Montaigne 10 minutes walk, Dior, Chanel, Hermes, Vuitton, Prada, Ynes de la Fressange, Valentino, Dolce, Galliano, Muegler and dozens more, 4 Seasons George V, Plaza Athenee (last episode of Sex and the City) for tea and rest after shopping, Running, Walks Picnics, Park, Playgrounds.
We charge a modest, non-refundable damage waiver fee to cover guests against accidental damage.

Not mine...so you can take a breath.
My daughter and son in law are divorcing. Her choice, but after 9 years and a beautiful grandson....It is hard. It is hard to have someone you love as your own child leave your life, turn on you, break you heart into a million pieces.
My SIL wanted to get back and hurt my daughter as much if not more than she hurt him. He looked for a way to actually crush her, destroy her, make her feel like her world was ending. He could not see that what was happening was also partly his responsibility...his lack of emotion.
So what does my SIL do?? He decides that he is in love with the birth mother of his son. Yes, the birth mother of his adopted son. The same woman that he could not stand to have around, did not want anywhere around his child. The same woman that changed her mind and decided to keep the baby right after the birth, then 6 weeks later changed her mind again. The same woman that for 6 years he complained about being involved in their lives.
He loves her now....he takes his son to her house when he spends time with her and her 3 daughters....
How can he do that to people he was supposed to love?

I hate it when people hurt each other. Especially when I can't do anything to stop or help it. Sorry your daughter and your family is going through this :(
- July 31, 2012 at 8:24 PM
I'm sorry P. To be honest, it sounds like he is scared to be without love. At least from how you describe the situation. He is clinging onto someone who does. Perhaps he is also trying to make your daughter jealous.
Either way, your daughter must really be hurting now, so I hope she finds comfort with you both.

People change dramatically in divorce situations. I watched my parents do it, it was like aliens had taken over our family.
The real problem is when parents don't act like parents and act like wounded animals instead (like your SIL) - when the #1 focus should be keeping a stable life for their children. He isn't showing much concern for his son and that should be his first concern.

It was six years ago this date, September 19, 2007, that as a parent I received the worse news ever. My son Sergeant Eddie Jeffers had been killed in Iraq. As a parent of an Infantry soldier and especially as a retired Army First Sergeant, I was more aware of the possibility of losing my son Eddie than most military parents. That knowledge did not soften the blow when the news arrived.
However, something did soften the blow, and not just for me but for the rest of our family. It was the knowledge that Eddie had given his life to the Lord Jesus Christ when he was 13 and now he was in heaven with our King. Yesterday the Lord gave me a revelation that I did not know I needed. It was an affirmation returned to me that I gave to Rafael Cruz last Sunday morning.

many of the changes in the new suite appear to be targeted at users of camera-equipped cellphones to help them improve the image quality. one feature gives users the ability to stick images together, making one large picture out of several smaller ones and allowing users to improve the overall quality; plus, there's a new listing in the "auto fixes" menu labeled "camera phone auto fix."
it is estimated that 60% of all digital image capture devices will be in the cameraphone form factor by the end of 2004.
the digital image suite 10 package retails for us$129, but can be found for less using rebates.
read more on this topic at cnet and microsoft's product page .
christopher's opinion
i was just telling my wife we need to find something to help us store, sort through, backup, and easily edit pictures. this may just be it. our digital camera came with software, but it is not user-friendly and is severely limited in functionality. $129 is a little salty, but hopefully with rebates and time that price can become a little more reasonable.
the features that appeal most to me are the movie creator and organizer. i don't do a lot of editing, but i would like to be able to find what i need quickly, as well as get a little creative with the photos. i have used other packages, and though they work okay, i haven't been fully satisfied with the end product.
as for the cameraphone phenomenon, i just don't get it. my cellphone has one, and i have used it a handful of times more for humor than for anything else. if i want to take a real picture, i will use a camera. phone cameras will have to come a long way before i rely on them, let alone spend money so i can improve their images.

|hmm (12:32pm est wed aug 11 2004)
what happened to digital image suite 1 through 9, i guess software companies just like to arbritrarily assigned version numbers to software products, with no rhyme or reason. i mean, even if there were versions 1 through 9, i've never heard of this microsoft product, so it was never marketed well, starting back at version 1, or calling it dis 2004 or something else would be better.
i guess microsoft figures since adobe is at version 8-10 products, and corel is at 12, that if they don't sound like they spent years developing many versions this product then people won't take them seriously or think the product is worth much. dis 10 sounds like they carefully crafted 9 previous versions, so they have years of experience under their belts ( ha ha ha, he ha). – by topher

if ms had 9 prior versions of this software we surely would have heard about stability issues in versions 1 through 5, feature bloat in versions 6 and 7, and then security issues and service packs for versions 8 and 9.
without those prerequisite problems, my guess is this is the 1.0 version despite the name. – by vegimon

wow! what a bunch of ignorant comments. i have been using digital image pro since version #8. why is it that just the name microsoft brings out such morons to the chat and comment boards? this version contains quite a few improvements, is quite a stable platform, and is much easier to use for beginners than paint shop pro, (which i also use.) microsoft has again done what they do best. make a product that does what it says it will do, and make it easy to use. – by tspin818

A K-drama Thanksgiving: Results
Whether you had turkey dinner, tofurkey casserole, or ramen, I hope all you American K-drama fans had a wonderful holiday. For the non- American K-drama fans, hope your Thursday was spectacular. You've all voted, and your voice has been heard! Here's whom you would invite to this year's big dinner:
Winning from the Dads: Choi Won Young as Yoon Jae Hoo in Heirs:
Kang Nam Kil as Oh Gi Dong in Playful Kiss ran a tight second, but Choi Won Young's heated kiss put him ahead of the competition by a hair.
Winning from Extended Family: Yoon Soo Sun and Sung Dong Il as Cha Min Sook and Ban Doo Hong in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho
I don't know if is the admonition to eat your ice slowly, farting in the elevator, or the love antennaes, but this couple captured our hearts.
Winning from Siblings: Kim Hyun Joo as Joon Hee in Boys Over Flowers
This race ran fairly close with Yoo Eun Mi as Choi Byul in Trot Lovers and Park Ji Bin as Joo Hwang (Orange) in Stars Falling From the Sky, but the Pretty Lee Min Ho fans (mostly) united to boost Joon Hee into the win.
Winning from Moms: Jung Hye Young as Hwang Geum Hee in Playful Kiss.
This wasn't even close. Apparently you like your drama moms bubbly and firmly on the side of our leading girl. Could it be because she posted adorable pictures Kim Hyung Joong to her blog in the drama, and you felt a kindred spirit?

How to Cook Steak & Shrimp in a Skillet
A very popular meat duo is steak and shrimp. It is so popular, in fact, that it boasts its very own nickname of surf and turf. If you choose a lean cut of steak to pair with the shrimp, you can create a delicious and healthy entrée full of flavor and low in overall calories and fat. The leanest cut of steak is the top sirloin steak, containing very little fat and calories per serving. A serving of shrimp only contains 1 g of fat and less than 25 calories.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cook time.
Step 2
Remove the head of the shrimp, if it is still attached.
Step 3
Peel the shell back and off the shrimp, starting from the head end. Leave the tail on, if desired, for presentation purposes.
Step 4
Use a very sharp knife to cut along the backside of the shrimp, about ¼-inch deep to expose the brown vein.
Step 5
Remove the vein and place the shrimp to the side until time to cook.
Step 1
Rub the outside of the meat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and other seasonings of your choice. Garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and chili powder complement the flavor of steak well.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in the skillet to medium high.
Step 3
Place the steak in the pan and cook for 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
Step 4
Set the steak to the side while you cook the shrimp.
Step 1
Pour the shrimp into the hot pan from which you just removed your steak.
Step 2
Sprinkle the shrimp with a little salt and pepper.
Step 3
Cook the shrimp for 2 or 3 minutes or until it turns pink. Remove as soon as it turns pink to avoid overcooking.

We firmly believe in the power of system leadership and its capacity to improve outcomes for all students.
The Herts & Bucks TSA has an extensive record of delivering first rate support to a significant range of schools, including primaries, secondaries, Post 16 providers, special schools and, most recently, the UTCs. Support has included secondment of Executive Headship, Acting Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher, action planning, data analysis, mentoring and coaching of middle leaders and specific subject / faculty support.
Each project is based around a thorough needs analysis completed in conjunction with the leadership of the respective school and on that foundation a bespoke package specific to the needs of an individual school is put in place. This includes measurable outcomes assessed in the context of strict quality assurance measures.
Key partners in this process are the learning trusts from the two local authorities who are Strategic Partners in the Alliance – Herts for Learning and Buckinghamshire Learning Trust. They act as potential brokers for support within schools known to them and also assist in applying consistent quality assurance to delivery and outcome.
Beyond the potential to access support via the learning trusts schools may also contact the Herts and Bucks TSA directly:

At high tide, one cannot walk along this particular area of the bay, but at low tide there are a few feet of sand espoused. My sneakers sank too low in the spongy, water-logged sand and the air had the scent of a swamp. The gnats were having a party, flitting from plant to plant, as were other creepy, crawly insects along the ground. I continued my slow walk, carefully stepping over a dead praying mantis. I paused a second as I realized that though I had seen many praying mantis over the years, I had never seen a dead one. Guess they have to die also, I reasoned to myself. An over aggressive plant growing along the side forced me to walk out nearer to the waters' edge as it greedily covered my path in its reach for the water. As I did this I had to step over a small puddle of water that apparently missed the flow of the tide. More death - this time a crab lay there expired.
My mind lazily talked to God about this, why is there so much death and sadness? Why do I have to be walking over it? This kind of feels like my life … walking through sadness recently, dealing with loss and being unsatisfied with my circumstances. At the same time a glimmer of expectation rose up within me and propelled me forward. I can get through this I reasoned ... 'this' being both this walk and the rough spots in my life.
I had to see what was beyond the slight bend up ahead. It looked like there was a patch of dry sand up there. More dirty sand collected on my previously white sneakers as I moved forward while brushing the insects from my neck.
As I rounded the bend, I was stopped in both my physical and mental walk. There was an area of wild plants rambling through each other in a beautiful unkempt way … bulrushes, iris, hibiscus and trumpet vine. Butterflies gracefully hurried here and there, looking for the sweetest nectar. A dragonfly from a good-looking family line paused briefly on a leaf directly in front of me. The stark colors of his delicate wings shimmered in the afternoon sunlight that reflected off the still waters of the bay. My spirit rejoiced at the beauty of it all.
Thank you God, for showing me that after walking on paths that are messy and hard with sadness along the way, there is an overabundance up ahead. Moving forward is what will bring me to a place where I will be overwhelmed with an overflow of colors, textures and beauty.

Hello Everyone,
Tea has been in peoples' pantries for ages, and you better believe we have been doing more with the little leaves than just sipping them. Here are some of my favorite alternative uses for tea that don't require a sugar pot and cream.
Handy Hints Holly
Email your favorite hints
Hint 1:
Wood furniture and floors aren't the easiest to take care of; harsh chemical cleaners often strip them of color and shine. Instead, you can brew a tea-based cleaner to keep them healthy and gleaming. Boil two teabags in a quart of water, and let it cool. Then, dip a soft cloth into the tea and wipe down any grime-covered wooden surfaces.
Hint 2:
Some people have foot funk — that's the way of life.
However, you can save yourself from the foot smell by
soaking your toes in a daily tea bath. About 20 minutes
in lukewarm tea should relieve your tootsies of any lingering stench.

VIC's Uncool GA
Hard to believe that almost two months has passed since my last update. Much has happened in that time, not least the fact that VIC Engine and Harbor GA'd. Kicking ourselves for not having a make it cool GitHub Epic targeted for the release, but you always forget something.
The engineering team spent some time before Christmas coming up with some blog content that is gradually dripping its way out onto blogs.vmware.com here and here. I have a list as long as my arm of blogs and videos I want to put out and despite promising to start, my selfish desire to relax over the holidays got the better of me.
Docker's containerd announcement was a great end-of-year gift to the team as this should allow us to modularize much more effectively, reuse more common code and provide a compatibility layer to enable some cool integration. The whole purpose of our re-architecture of Bonneville and being fully open-source was to enable these kinds of integrations.
Sketching out a plan for containerd integration is currently top of my list of priorities and I'm very pleased to announce one of our engineering team, Vlad Burenin, will be a full-time contributor to the project.
Looking back over the year, it's interesting to think about what we could have done better and what we've learned. One of the things I spent most of December doing was performing a subtle pivot in messaging what VIC is and what it's for. There seems to be a fog of confusion that I don't seem to be able to break through around VIC engine: The fact that a Virtual Container Host isn't a literal host. The difference between running a container as a VM vs in a VM. How it's different to Photon Platform. There's three blog posts right there (note to self). The net result of this confusion has been a perception of VIC engine as being a one-trick pony — something that's a bit niche — something that might be useful for legacy workloads, but couldn't possibly sit under something genuinely cloud-native like Kubernetes.
What I've realized is that in order to convey what VIC engine is, I need to start talking about it first an foremost as a VM provisioning mechanism that provides a means for a vSphere admin to create a self-provisioning portal for developers. This is exactly what it is today, by the way. It just so happens that the binary format for VM provisioning is the Docker Image, that the VM has all of the characteristics of a container; and the API of the self-provisioning portal is the Docker API.
Once you realize this and once you grok that anything can be spun up as a VM, you realize that what we've built is a means of allowing anyone to self-provision anything into vSphere infrastructure without needing any vSphere credentials, without raising a ticket and in a way that allows the Admin full control over the infrastructure. You can spin up a Docker host. You can spin up a Linux VM running sshd, you can spin up a Tomcat server, you can spin up Jenkins slaves. You should even be able to spin up a Kubernetes cluster. And everything you provision can be customized and stored in DockerHub. Without raising a ticket. Or asking anyone first.
Now that's cool if you ask me.

Qompendium is an evolving and ever-changing platform for philosophy, art, culture and science, represented by a series of print publications: magazines, books and monographs. Furthermore, it is enriched by a gallery concept, a work shop and a fast-moving online portal.
Michael Chin
What is the Bel Paese you ask?
"It is a mixture, a sum of many elements: flavors, history, landscape and cultures. It's the feeling of the abundance just before the harvest. It's the contemplation and awe while walking through Pompeii or the Etruscan tombs in Cerveteri, the theatre and fantasy of Frascati gardens and the valley of the temples in Agrigento. It's the pure pleasure of drizzling olive oil on dense durum wheat bread, spotting the shepherd and his flock on the hill, candlelit dinner in a cave and driving the tractor plow with my 3 year-old son August."
Since its founding in 1989 under the tutelage of director Tonio Creanza, Messors has worked on a host of preservation projects in the Puglia region in Italy covering archeological research, restoration projects on frescoes, wood and stone statues, decorative painting, guided tours, educational field school projects and study abroad university programs.
"I do not want to preach, I really just want to share, believe it is all possibe and have fun doing it. If I could harvest, meet people and work with with them to conserve and restore, and feast with my wife, son and traveling friends every night I would."
