Welcome talisman. Wide range of music styles appreciated but like you i don't like most of the modern stuff or x-factor stuff. Fair to say that most of us here don't. Maybe we are all a bunch of old fogeys.
Get stuck in m8 and enjoy.
been a member for a while , but never posted a thread yet , i live in the north-east of england and enjoy listening to music , having a few 'tinnies' twice a week , walking the dog , and getting together with a small group of good friends for an occasional 'blast' of music . i love lots of types of music , but not modern stuff or x-factor type crap . will post details of my system soon
Welcome talisman. Wide range of music styles appreciated but like you i don't like most of the modern stuff or x-factor stuff. Fair to say that most of us here don't. Maybe we are all a bunch of old fogeys.
Get stuck in m8 and enjoy.
thanks eddie , i'm a 68 year old , old fart i'm afraid who still likes older music , kate bush , james taylor camel , floyd , jennifer warnes etc and lots more inbetween . probably starting tonights session with dire straits and ending with john denver or even al jolson (told you i like older music) i just love a very wide variety of music (and i don't have a technics 1210 i'm afraid)
I'm just a youngster at 48
We are a friendly bunch here. No sniping or one-upmanship. Just a bunch of people interested in music and occasionally hifi.
Appreciate your taste. I don't have any camel but have heard some of their stuff and enjoyed it. Plenty of Floyd and dire straits. Al Jolson is a bit before my time. I have a CD of Jennifer Warnes collaboration with leonard Cohen.
I like melodic type music. Not too keen on experimental jazz for example.
The rest of the gang will probably be along soon. This is certainly a quiet forum but there are plenty of peeps who will be glad to help if you need hifi advice or just want some music opinions.
Hi talisman, what's your first name? I did one of those facebook tests that go around, on what's your age according to the music you listen to. I came out at 62 and I'm 55 lol.
I like Dire Straits occasionally. I got tired of listening to them so gave away my albums. Do you have any of Mark Knopfler's solo work?
Welcome Talisman, welcome, we care not what your taste in music is like, we are all different, me I'm the same age as Eddie, but like old and new, latest album bought is the new Chemical Brothers on vinyl.
hi , real name is alf , and no matter how you measure me i'm 68 i have a couple of d/loaded albums from friends of mark knopfler but i find the majority of them (including his latest) very boring and same-sounding . the one that i have on a 'kosher' CD is called 'Wag The Dog' and i recommend you check it out (i love it) ................alf
I find MK's solo stuff a bit boring as well. Will check out Wag the dog.
Some of his earlier solo stuff like "the long road" and theme from local hero are catchy. His later stuff sounds a little contrived IMO.
Hi Talisman, Welcome

By Toti Jean Marc Yale, President of EEFY, NGO
My name is Toti Jean Marc Yale. I'm holder of B.A got at the Faculty of Letters, Arts and Humanity at Felix Houphouet Boigny. I live in Cote d'Ivoire, a country of the West Africa. I'm also the Ceo and Founder of a Nonprofit Organization called Education and English for You [EEFY] that fosters Education and English language in Cote d'Ivoire through the volunteering work.
Moreover, I was looking for the International Organizations in the issue of Education and English language for a partnership and I reached out to Know My World via Lisa Petro, the co-founder. I received scholarship from KMW for the Digital Cross-Cultural Exchange Training that have had a positive impact upon my career of leader and mainly upon the cultural experience of my students of the social volunteering school.
Know My World connected me through my Social Volunteering School during the Scholarship in Toronto, Canada. Aged from 4 to 15 years old our students of the Social Community School have learnt a lot things with their friends of Canada. KMW has cut the boundary by connected these kids who are coming from poor families and those of Canada, a developed country. The project was about the discussion of corporal punishment in schools and how poverty of parents can impact the future of students. Yes students talked about their daily life through draws, writings and pictures where they depicted their difficult life due to the poverty status of their parents but they have the hope that this situation will change one day. They were very happy for having friends in Canada, with them their shared the way they go to school , how they were punished often at school and at home, how long they stay at school, the subjects they study, the time of break at school, what they do after school and what their community looked like.
The goal of this Program, was to make close the children of the world thanks to the support of KMW despite the long distance that separate them. It was to contribute to the cultural development of the students. Help students to learn the spirit of creativity, to know their friends of the world by promoting the self-confident, hope, friendship, curiosity, belonging, courage and kindness.
In addition, our school has been working with the U.S, mainly a teacher at an Elementary School. As the Program turned around of the food, the students have been involved by researching the names of the food they eat each day. They went to the market to collect all necessary information. They were very proud because they were positively admired and encouraged by the traders and other sellers of the market. They learnt about the names of the food they have the habit to eat, the origin of the food and classified the food according to the area of coming, National, Regional and International. They shared all these information with their friends in U.S. This Exchange has improved the gourmet knowledge of the students. They learnt also about the names of the food coming from U.S.
I'm very proud of Know My Work because thanks to the opportunities they provided me, I have deepened my current status of the leader by acquiring new methodology of work at school and which I shared with my colleague volunteers at Education and English for You. Also Know My Work through the different Programs has made the promotion of my Organization Education and English for You on the International Scale. I can't forget the connection of the other citizens of the world they linked to me.
I can sum up without hesitation that Know My World remains up today one of the best Organizations in the world that fosters the Digital Cultural Learning. By the moment students, teachers of the world are connected around of the cultural issues so Know my World contributes to the development of the relationship between the people through the different Exchanges. Therefore KMW is fighting against the prejudge issues in the world.

LG today unveiled the LG G2, its flagship smartphone in India. The device has been launched in two storage variants, 16GB and 32GB priced at Rs. 41,500 and Rs. 44,500 respectively. It is available to consumers starting today.
Getting the specifications out of the way, the G2 has a 5.2-inch 1080p True HD IPS LCD display giving it a 424ppi pixel density. It has the Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.26GHz Krait 400 CPU coupled with the Adreno 330GPU and 2GB of RAM. The rear of the smartphone has a 13MP shooter that boasts of OIS and the front has a 2.1MP camera. The smartphone doesn't support expandable storage and has a unibody design, which means that you don't have access to the battery. A whopping 3000mAh battery powers the package.
At the launch event, LG told us that the G2 smartphone has the ability to last for an entire day of heavy use and still have some juice left. Even though this claim is impressive, we'd like to put it to the test before giving our verdict on the battery.
Starting with the design of the G2, in a word, its gorgeous. The smartphone is really slim measuring in at a mere 8.9mm in thickness. The bezel surrounding the display too is thin, so you get a lot more screen real estate space especially on the left and right of the screen (when held in portrait mode). The right side of the smartphone has a slot for the SIM card. The bottom has the microUSB port, headphones jack along with the stereo speakers.
The biggest change to the design has to be with the placement of the power button and the volume rocker. LG has moved the placement of these buttons from the side of the phone to the back, just below the camera. Intuitively, this is where you'd place your forefinger while using the phone. Now, since these buttons are so close to the camera, it is inevitable that your finger will touch the camera. LG says that the camera has sapphire crystal glass, which will protect it from smudges and fingerprints caused due to touching.
While testing the device, we used the phone in a few natural positions such as near the ear, pulling it out of the pocket etc. and found that it was quite comfortable to unlock the smartphone with the new placement of the buttons. The volume down button on the back of the smartphone also doubles up as the shutter button for the camera. This may not be ideal if you are shooting landscape images but is extremely comfortable while shooting self-portraits with the front facing camera.
LG also showed off the ability to "knock" to unlock the smartphone. All you do us knock on the display of the smartphone twice and it unlocks. We have seen features such as blow or shake to unlock on devices such as the Canvas 4 from Micromax and frankly, knock to unlock felt a bit gimmicky.
Coming to the OS and the UI of the G2, it is the same that we saw on the LG Optimus G and the G Pro. The UI is identical to its predecessors and the G2 runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean straight out of the box. This is a tad disappointing since we have seen the Samsung Galaxy Note III launch with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from the get go.
The 13MP camera on the smartphone was quite snappy to shoot pictures with. Although some of the images we captured there were a bit blurry, we will reserve our final comments for the camera of the G2 once we have tested it.
Another interesting feature of the G2 is the Guest Mode. If you need to hand your smartphone to someone else to use, you can put it in Guest Mode. The Guest Mode gives the user access to minimalistic feature such as calling, browsing etc. without access to your personal information.
The G2 also comes with a built-in IR emitter. You can use the QuickRemote app on the smartphone to control your TV, set-top box, audio system, DVD or Blu-ray player, or even an air conditioner from the comfort of the phone. Pretty cool right?
In the short time we had with the LG G2, we are quite impressed with what the smartphone has to offer. The smartphone has some seriously impressive power under the hood and the design is something that we were skeptical about at first but are impressed with since we got to use the device. The UI overlaying the OS is something we have seen and appreciated on past LG devices. We would however like to reserve our final comment about the LG G2 until we get it in our labs for an in-depth review.

Please pray for my boy. Sean and my dad were in an accident tonight. Sean was driving and was rear-ended at 50+ mph. His back is hurting bad. I am with him on the way to Athens in the ambulance. They won't let me in the back with him! We are taking about a 30 mile drive to a hospital with a trauma center. I keep getting on my phone because I need something to calm me down.
If you don't remember, Sean spent most of last school year with a significant back injury. He has only recently been taken off of his back brace by the ortho. He has a dislocation at L5-S1. I am terrified that this may have done more damage to his back.
Please don't post on FB because we don't want my grandmother to find out about the wreck until we have some answers. Dad says he is ok. He and mom are on the way over here to the hospital by car. Jonah has Dani and Robert at home.
Just pray he is ok!
I am sorry for rambling on and on. I have to do something or I will go crazy!
Thank you JMC1988 for my siggy!

The best way to operate your Tivo The UI on my Tivo premiere quad is very sluggish. The official Tivo app is absolutely awful. This app is wonderful and so amazingly simple, functional and powerful. Finally, a good app that doesn't need my Google password, doesn't need my location, my contacts, and a Facebook account. Now that you can FINALLY add 30, 60, 90 minutes to extend recording times, this app is perfect! Recording sports with the old 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 minute extensions was pretty useless but after waiting patiently for 3 years, the programmer decided to update the app. Finally. This app is the best. Please don't bloat it up with social networking garbage. It's beautiful as-is.
Glenn Parker
Pretty good, could be better Very nice set of functions and very stable. Wish it showed the number of episodes available under each group in the list of shows.
A Google User
Won't enter. MAK Tried 3 different keyboards and none allow me to input letters for MAK only numbers are available. Edit. Was putting in S/N
Tariq Ali
Great free alternative The developer worked on this for free, I appreciate the hard work put into this
jason haywood
Great Works great for us in Canada since a official app is not available. Thanks to the developer for a great app.
A Google User
app and developer are fantastic This remote app has worked great for me and family for years on transformer prime tablet, several phones including AT&T Samsung Galaxy 1, T-Mobile SG2, TMO Gravity, and the original android phone - G1 for both Tivo Series 3 and Premier DVR. We continued to used it while it was pulled off the market and it continued to improve. Glad Tivo decided to allow it back on the market again. This release is even better!
Bill Curran
Never fails! TiVo Inc hadn't updated their app to work with my Nexus 6 yet..... But DVR Commander never fails me.
Keith Metcalfe
Amazingly effective, efficient and useful. TiVo should hire this guy. This app is not just as good as the professional app from TIVO, but actually better in several ways. It's streamlined perfectly to give me just enough information and control that makes sense to use a tablet for. And I find myself using the app to do things like look at my to do list, season passes, and show information more than on the TiVo itself.
John Caldwell
Much better than the TiVo app! Launches much faster, and doesn't require you to re-pick your TiVo every time. Interface is quicker throughout. Love it!
Craig Bell
Available to Canadians! Faster loading than TiVo app and available in Canada (TiVo app is not). Keep up the good work!
Sim Tech
Works on Series 4 I just installed this and it works on my Series 4 dual tuner TiVo. Haven't given it the test of time yet but it's a far better app that the TiVo app.
Ken Pauli
Great ap Better than the Tivo designed ap. Delete shows easily. Great to replace yoir remote control and set up new recordings. I couldn't be without it.
Rick N
Wow! Super responsive and very intuitive. Great job with this app. It has a better interface than the tivo app and is really quick and responsive.
John Mc Hugh
It Works! Awesome, this app allows you to enter an IP Address to find your Tivo, unlike the "official" Tivo app that can't find my Tivo.
Ryan Graves
Awesome! I have this app on all my devices and it works fantastic. Thank you for the great tool. Much appreciated.
Troy Cunningham
Awesome! This app essentially replaces the TiVo remote for me. I love being able to search and manage shows without interrupting what we're currently watching. Great app!
Jon Gillen
Crashes a lot on Lollipop I love this app, but it's too crashy. Please fix it!
Amanda A
VirginMedia TiVo CANNOT FIND Will not find a device at all .. I use Virgin Media Tivo tried manually doing it and still nothing . 1 star rating :(
Works with TiVo mini! Not only is this app more responsive and reliable than the official TiVo app, but it also allows you to control TiVo mini boxes (official app does not). Definitely worth checking out.
Robert P
Have a TiVo? Download now! Used to crash; now it is robust. Fast and has extensive features. It gives detailed show descriptions with cross references to actors, just like IMDB. I wish the show listings included the year of production and the ability to thumbs-up. Dev is very responsive to e-mail.
Trevor Brown
Season pass doesn't work on nexus 6 Not very functional on lollypop and the nexus 6... Can't access the season pass manager without an application crash.
David Chang
Better than Tivo This app is much faster than the stock Tivo app, but it's missing the guide feature. The UI for this app is much better for the Note 3 than the Tivo app
James Buster
A great app with correctable flaws 1) Sorting order of My Shows isn't persistent. You must set it every time you launch the app. This should be made a Setting. 2) Folders should be sortable just like the top-level My Shows is. 3) Reverse sorting should be supported in all sort modes. 4) There should be criteria for sorting other than A-Z and Recording Date. Like Original Air Date. 5) You might want folders sorted in a different way than My Shows itself. 6) Station icons are displayed slightly too large. They run off the right and bottom, and sometimes the left, edges of their frame. 7) What is To Be Announced? It appears to have no function, and so should be deleted.
Eric Gustafson
Love it. Exactly what I would design into a touch screen (phone/tablet) remote for TiVo: "the" remote, and screens for the basic lists a tivo maintains as it core operation (now playing, todo, season pass). Thanks for contributing this to the community!
Ally A
The best tv remote I've found! Works perfectly every time - not buggy like the apps put out there by the cable providers who shall remain nameless. Amazingly little set up required.
Karl Huf
Pretty amazing and way faster control than native remote provides I have a whole home TiVo (record up to 4 shows while watching a 5th) plus a TiVo mini and this App installed on my Nexus 4 detected them and controls them perfectly. Interface is slick and is much faster at reviewing and setting season passes and other settings than going through the on screen menus with the remote. One minor nit is that the Now Playing seems to only be aware of 1 tuner vs the multiple tuners in the DVR. Overall very nice app, thanks.
Christopher Lonske
AWESOME... But Could we make the remote fit the screen or would the buttons be too small? I hate having to scroll up and down. Other than that... works very well with my Galaxy S3 and TiVo!
Matthew Simons
Good app Less probs than TiVo's app. Only complaint will no ability to Permanently Delete the Previously Deleted shows.
Andrew LD
All the features DVR Commander works great and I love the native Holo UI.
Matt Hayslip
Amazing! This app makes browsing and changes easier than with my actual TiVo remote! Absolutely love it!
Bradley Branch
Use to work in all functions The show icon causes the app to crash after HTC OS update. Been complaning for months no one cares to return crash info on what could be causing the glitch. Rebooted (no good) then backup info and preformed a fresh install of the OS Didn't help
Christopher Walsh
Awesome! Better than the garbage official TiVo app.
Andy Poling
Very nice and useful app. Much better and robust than the app from TiVo.
Jon Pritchard
Slick App One of the best apps on my phone in both design & execution. Kudos to Anthony.
Jason Morioka
Amazing!! Works better for me than the tivo remote itself. I keep my tivo roamio in another room from my tv and with this app I can still control the box with no problems no matter where I am.
W Bower
Great app Connected without a problem to my TiVo box. Provides all of the most used functions. Searching and setting up a season pass is easier than on the box itself.
mike flood
Great Works better than the "New, improved genuine TiVo app on my Samsung Tablet
Kenton Kammer
Best TiVo app!!! This is the best TiVo app I've found. Even better than the one from TiVo. Thanks!
Raymond Townsend
OK app Works OK for what it is. You can't see the "guide" on the phone and you can't schedule a recording from a remote location. Unless you lose the TiVo remote, I don't see why you would use this App.
jeff c.
Continuous connection problems I use this application infrequently, maybe once or twice a week. In order to set it up you have to enter the mak key that you can find deep in your TiVo menu. The problem is, that it fails to connect at least every other time I use it. In the interface, it shows my old connection with a failure to connect and then shows a quote unquote new TiVo, which is says I have to enter the mak key for. So in or 5 or 6 steps into the menu in order to reconfigure it. This basically defeats the purpose
Saymon Wanzo
Very impressed I agree with Kieth. They should hire this guy for real. I love how the main controls are right there along with what you need. Good job.

Love it My only complaint is my "On Demand" button is always greyed out so i cant access that from the phone. makes everything so much easier being able to look through and manage all of your one pass options and recorded stuff without the tremendous lag its all in one place and you dont have to navigate the menus on screen so you aren't interrupting anything. To the guy who said it doesn't display the number of shows per folder it is on my device combo and your phone is newer. It shows it inside the folder icon.
Luke Chambers
Awesome! Better then I hoped Just installed this, literally took about 3 minutes from deciding to get this to recording shots thru my S5. Download, this app is the bomb! Able to do all functions of normal remote, and able to schedule recording - want able to do these things w/ any similar app.
Yves-D Poulin
Does not work 4 Cogeco Does not work 4 Cogeco. It asks 2 call Cogeco.
Shane Pope
Great app. Very responsive. Way better than anything TiVo could ever put out. One suggestion: make the hitbox for the buttons larger on the remote screen for hitting play when watching a show. You don't need to change the visuals just the buttons size. Thanks
Austin Brewer
Had to troubleshoot But works like a charm!!! None of the other TiVo remote apps work this is one of a kind and works perfect I love it!!!!
Kenneth Moffat
Works fine with my Tivo Premier. All necessary functions work.
Creig Smith
Doesn't work Tried everything in the help page. Official TiVo app is ok, so something is wrong with this one. Using TiVo Premier devices.
Robert P
Have a TiVo? Download now! After work by the developer, this app is robust, fast, and has extensive features. It gives detailed show descriptions with cross references to actors, just like IMDB. I wish the show listings included the year of production and the ability to thumbs-up. Dev is very responsive to e-mail.
Ron Rounds
Just plain WORKS! Does what a Tivoli remote should, without trying to do everything (like streaming)
Tamara Griffin
Amazing! Wow! I don't know how I existed so long with TiVo and my husband who likes to hoard the remote without this app. Thank you!
Sonya Sierra
Sweet Helps out alot works great
Michelle Gonzalez
Absolutely Amazing!! I Had To Find An App That Was Compatible With My TiVo Mini As Well As My Tablet. Since Peel Smart Remote Is Only Compatible With Galaxy Devices, I Was Out Of Luck. But I Discovered This And It's Been Wonderful!
Tim Eilrich
nice app, works great Nice app works great on sgs5
chris saeger
Works great Very thoughtful UI. Works much better than the tivo app.
William Bennett
Great! I just got my first Roamio and have been stuck with the Tivo 2.0 app not supporting Season Pass and 3.0 not supporting my device. This solves that!!!! My only question - is this a local network WiFi app only? THANK YOU!
Sherri Webb
Good application Very good
Matt Elliott
Easy fast and works
Robert Riggi
Will not work anymore Last's briefly then doesn't work...just wait 3mths and you'll see
Scott Hook
Well done Thank you for your time and effort with this free app. Looking forward to you integrating more Pandora, Plex, etc. controls. Thanks again.
Ski Dad
Better than the Tivo app When watching a live or recorded show this is thee app to use. See your progress, name of show with the ability to play/pause is a great combination. Highly recommend.
Scott Campbell
Beautifully done One of the best done remote apps I've ever used.
nikeem earl
Like Great app thanks
charles eagles
force closes... doesnt work on my minix u1 5.1.1
Murray Hersh
Great app Thanks for the hard work. Love the speed of the app and remote control versus the official TiVo version.

This year that linchpin of its half-trillion-dollar economy is in decline. The trend points to shifts across the global economy, including new consumer demand that Taiwan is not meeting. Export orders from Taiwan fell a steep 8.3 percent in August after drops of at least five percent each month from May through July. Those figures compare to the same months last year and threaten...Read complete article© Voice of America - Friday, October 16, 2015

Janet, I endorsed Karen Bisso for your Assembly seat, not only because she is highly qualified and will advance the issues and principals of her republican constituents, but also because you have arrogantly illustrated in every possible respect that you do not understand your duties and responsibilities nor do you respect the damage that you have done in supporting the agenda of Andrew Cuomo.
If you want to be a Democrat, you should re-register. To hold yourself out as a Republican is a fraud not only upon the people that you represent, but all of the Republican rank and file in the State of New York.
Without opposition, the Albany Democrat and RINO "establishment" will continue their path of corruption and destruction. You were elected by the Republican opposition to advance the Republican agenda. [Read more…] about Open Letter to Janet Duprey

Super Mario visits Earth
Mar 30
Is this something of the past or will it soon be? When I got my degree, quite a bit of my course work required me to spend endless hours in the computer labs. Finding a free computer, making sure it was open lab hours, saving things here there and everywhere (on the 3.1/NT 4 network!), submitting homework and then going back to the dorm to reconnect to my DOV (data over voice – early days of ADSL) box to finish off what I needed "internet" or campus net to do.
Interestingly enough this year, the University of Virginia have done research and have found 99% of their incoming students have arrived with laptop in tow. As such, they have decided to start phasing out their computer labs one at a time until 2011, when no more labs will exist.
Why are they making this bold move? Well, according to the survey 95% of the software used is already on an arriving student's laptop – web browser, PDF reader…the rest, well they can easily get by being a student at a drastically reduced rate (or heck maybe even include a license fee in years to come).
This brings up some interesting questions, especially when we're starting to now see technology changing – ergo Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. The biggest question is how do students get their work on the campus network and how do campuses keep their "network" secure.
Enter NAP and DirectAccess. The first is proven technology and something quite a few people know about…essentially gives your machine a health check before allowing it on the network, but the more interesting one is that ability for students to be part of the campus network anywhere, anytime. Only a matter of time will tell what happens and how exactly the campus computer lab is converted (or even the computer lab at your local K-12 school!).
What do you think?
If you haven't been watching the IT industry and trends lately, you've probably missed Sun's Black Box project. What is Black Box you ask? It's what they're calling a modular data centre. Essentially your server room on wheels. Hook it up to the back end of a lorry and away she goes. Portable, easy to use, easy to set up, convenient, quick – and it even has its own cooling and ventilation.
What is even more interesting is some of the testing Sun have recently undergone in getting this thing prepared for the real world. Sun's corporate headquarters is located in Santa Clara California – a state which is renowned for earthquakes. So, what have Sun done to make sure the Black Box is stable and sturdy? They rolled down state to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and put it through a simulated 6.7 magnitude earth quake. Really cool, check it out!!!
"Laptop Hunters" – I'm a PC
Mar 28
In Microsoft's latest attempt to try gain momentum in the laptop market – meet Lauren. She's has a set of defined goals:
- Laptop
- 17" screen
- Under $1000
What's she do? Visits the Apple store and finds a 13" macbook which meets two of three criteria, however not all three. So, head on down the street and have a look at the PC market…Wowzers, choice – larger hard drive, more memory…Sure most Mac aficionados will always go Mac, but this is about the average consumer in a market like today, especially during times like these. Take a look at Lauren's adventure and see just why Apple is now on the defensive:
DreamSpark is an initiative set forth by Bill Gates to get school students involved in developing and to do that, he's giving the software away for FREE!!!
What products can you get from DreamSpark?
Read the FAQ web page which contains a good summary of the programme, and how to activate it for your school. Basically, somebody in the school registers, and they receive product keys to distribute to students. But students just download the software they want directly from the website – you don't need to get involved in distribution.

SCVMM 2008 R2 Beta
Mar 26
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 Beta is now available!
Visit the Connect Website and find it in the Server Category
New features in R2 include:
· Support for Live Migration: With Windows 2008 R2 adding support for Live migration, it's now added as a new migration option in VMM R2. Live migration requires the source and destination host to be part of a failover cluster and that the VM is on a shared storage. Live migration means that there is no user perceived downtime; since the VM's memory pages are being transferred, the hosts' processors need to be the same (manufacturer and processor architecture). Our competition claims that Vmotion doesn't require clustering but this only works for planned downtime and not for unplanned downtime. By combining Live migration and clustering, Hyper-V addresses both planned and unplanned downtime.
· Multiple VMs per LUN: VMM 2008 didn't allow placing multiple VMs per LUN even though Hyper-V allowed it and the reason was that the LUN ownership was on a per host basis. This meant that migrating any VM on that shared LUN would result in all other VMs being migrated as well which can result in a confusing user experience (I've blogged about this at length). With CSV (Clustered Shared Volumes) in Windows 2008 R2, a single LUN is accessible by all hosts within a cluster. This enables a VM that's on a shared LUN to be migrated without affecting other VMs on that LUN. As a result, with VMM R2, we'll allow multiple VMs to be placed on the same LUN if CSV is enabled on the cluster.
· SAN related enhancements: We've done a number of SAN related enhancements in VMM R2.
o SAN migration in and out of clusters: With VMM R2, you can migrate a VM from one cluster to another or from a standalone host into a cluster or vice versa. Especially useful when you are deploying a VM from a test cluster to a production one.
o Multiple LUNs per single iSCSI target: VMM 2008 supported only initiator-based iSCSI target connection, which allows only one LUN per iSCSI target. VMM 2008 R2 adds support for masking-based target connections, which allows multiple LUNs per iSCSI target and expands VMM support for iSCSI SAN providers. This implies that we have better support for iSCSI products from Network Appliance and EMC for example.
· Network related enhancements:
o Network Optimization
§ Win2k8 R2 supports 2 types of network optimizations: VMQ & Chimney
§ During VM creation you can enable/disable network optimization
§ If enabled, VMM will configure the VM to use VMQ or Chimney, if available on the host
§ During placement, VMM R2 detects and shows availability of Network optimization on the host
o Some workloads such as Network load balancers need to be able to spoof MACs: There's a new setting that allows admin to enable/Disable MAC spoofing on a per VM basis
o Ability to reuse port groups defined in VMWare VirtualCenter
§ In VMM 2008, port groups were always created even if the admin had already created them on the host.
§ In VMM R2, the admin is allowed to pick an available port group that's already defined.
· Maintenance mode
o For servicing a host, VMM R2 allows host to be put in maintenance mode: When you do this, all VMs on that host that are running are live migrated off the host to avoid downtime.
§ Admin can choose to save state VMs if host is not part of a cluster
o During placement, a Host that's in maintenance mode gets zero star ratings. This also p-prevents PRO from picking this host when migrating VMs.
o Maintenance mode is supported for Hyper-V, VS and VMWare ESX hosts
· Support for Disjoint domains: When a host has different FQDN in AD and DNS, it's said to be in a disjoint domain. For example: server name is foo and FQDN in AD is foo.domain.contoso.com and FQDN in DNS is foo.contoso.com. For Kerberos authentication to work, SPN needs to be created for DNS Name
o VMM 2008 required custom SPN to be manually configured in AD
o VMM 2008 R2 automatically creates custom SPN for DNS name. (AD needs to be configured to give permissions to VMM for SPN read/write permissions)

Interview by: Annette Hansen
Words by: Annette Hansen
For music fans our favorite albums are sacred relics, but what would it be like to hear those albums again is a whole new way. Less than a year out from the release of their debut album The Window Room, Secret Space pondered that as well. The band, however, wondered what it would sound like to take their own album and rework it into something new, that something being The Window Room Pt. 2: Lost in a Dream, released March 17, 2017 via Equal Vision Records.
"I think albums should be revisited more often," states vocalist and guitarist Dean Tartaglia. "I keep going back to this quote when people ask me about this record, I'll paraphrase, but it's something Bob Dylan said about how people get really caught up in the recording of a song itself, but I think the song is like an essence. You can change a lot of the details about it, but you'll get the same essence at the end of the day."
It was that mindset that Tartaglia says drove Secret Space to reimagine the essence they had created with The Window Room.
"I don't think if you record a version [of a song]that it's how you should play it forever," he expresses. "We feel like we're a prolific band and that's what we always want to offer, just a new take on what we're doing."
The result was a raw and stripped down album featuring four songs from the original album as well as a few b-sides and a couple of covers. The Window Room Pt. 2 shows what Secret Space had accomplished with their debut in a vulnerable light.
"We made some conscious production choices to make it feel really personal," Tartaglia explains. "I only wanted like three takes for an instrument because we wanted to be like 'hey, if this is meant to sound a little fucked up in spots, then that's what it's meant to sound like'."
With this new release Tartaglia felt like he could not only offer a new perspective to the music he had previously made, but also showcase elements that may have gotten lost in translation. He hopes the more laidback tracks will expose hidden influences within his songwriting.
"I kind of went back to the roots of what I was influenced by," Tartaglia describes. "I'm just excited with the idea that maybe someone will hear a song like 'Cast Iron' that we redid that really sounds a lot like Elliott Smith now, and then maybe when they hear the full band version, they'll hear those influences that are there but are less obvious."
Tartaglia feels that watching his own songs morph and grow has been rewarding, "Stripping [a song]back and seeing what it was when we started, after playing the song so many times live, having the song be out for a year or whatever, it's cool." he says. "It keeps you rooted."
The very nature of this reworked album is part of the prolific vibe that Tartaglia wants to create with Secret Space, using the band to channel every corner of their writing and creativity rather than jumping from one project to the next.
"This was my track for a while," Tartaglia explains. "I would be in a band for two years and then would just start a new project. We're at the two year point with Secret Space and that's just not going to happen…This is a long haul type situation."
And putting together The Window Room Pt. 2 was a chance for Tartaglia to better understand himself as a writer for the band to better understand who they are as Secret Space, "Doing this re-imagined album felt really good like 'hey, I think I know all the sides of myself now' looking at these songs."
For Tartaglia and the band as a whole, this is just one more step in the right direction of working out what they have to offer as artists, "I think I've always been searching for my voice even if I feel like I've found it now more than ever."

If you want to be a successful manager, it is critical that you make the following activities part of your regular routine:
1. Consider employees' perspectives. See the workplace and your management style from each of your employees' viewpoints. Then empathize with each person. How would you feel if you were your employees? Be the type of boss you would want managing you.
2. Listen to understand. Encourage people to share their feedback and concerns. More than that, actually hear what they're saying. Don't tune people out, shoot them down or insult them.
3. Set goals they agree with. If you want employees to work hard to reach their goals, you must offer them some say-so in the process. Hold sessions with each employee to establish performance goals and create a plan for reaching them.
4. Provide feedback and support. Regularly check in with employees to ensure that they are progressing toward their goals and to uncover obstacles that are blocking their success. Make it a point to communicate with each of your team members daily, and provide advice and resources as needed.

Oceans on the rise
By: Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC

Around 85 per cent of Australia's population lives within 50km of the coast, alongside a significant proportion of key assets and infrastructure.
Yet these coastlines are exposed to a range of natural hazards that can cause severe damage.
Helping to understand this risk and allow emergency services, coastal planners and engineers to prepare better is research by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC, described in Hazard Note 16, which is an overview of the coastal managementcluster of research projects. This research has two linked studies.
- Developing better predictions for extreme water levels
- Storm surge: resilience to clustered disaster events on the coast
These studies will strengthen Australia's capability to make informed decisions for an improved resilience of coastal communities and infrastructure.
Additionally, a short video on the CRC's YouTube channel features cluster leader Dr Scott Nichol and lead end-user Dr Martine Woolf (both Geoscience Australia) discussing why the research is important and how the outcomes will benefit emergency services, coastal planners and engineers.

Facebook Is Worth $33.7 Billion
Facebook Is Worth $33.7 Billion – Facebook has been steadily gaining momentum over the last two or three years, with major jumps in the market in the past 18 months. But even with that in mind, their latest estimated worth is fairly incredible.
Reports have been coming out that say the social media giant is now worth $33.7 billion, a staggering amount that has pushed them past the earnings of both eBay and Yahoo, and even given them a higher earning report than Google's 2004 initial public offering of just under $2 billion.
So far, Facebook has been holding back on releasing their own IPO, but that hasn't stopped investors. Anticipating a greater profit when the numbers are finally revealed officially, there has been a surge of people buying up more shares and driving their stock price up to $76.
The problem with reports like this is it is based on imaginary money; the site isn't expected to have an IPO until 2012, making the figures a complete guess. While it is coming from sources that have enough expertise to make an educated estimation, it is still only that: a guess.
*Sponsored Links*
But there is no doubting the share price, so we will see where the buy-up leads a few months from now. Until then, we can expect the interest in the site to at least stay steady. They announced their 500 millionth user last month, which shows that they managed to not only survive the number of privacy scandals to hit their site, but flourish in them.
Add that to the 'Like' buttons now seen everywhere on the web, and it seems safe to call Facebook a social monopoly.*Sponsored Links*

Christian Marriage: How to Build Trust (Part 3 of 4).
Greetings. In my first two posts, I focused on reliable or dependable trust. But now I want to go deeper and talk about emotional or heart trust. When you build a reputation in your marriage that you will be there for your spouse and you can show evidence of being dependable and reliable, so is the important of emotional trust when it comes to building trust. Far too often, one spouse maybe highly responsible when it comes to reliable trust but their heart is far from being trusted when it comes to the focus of emotional connection.
What is heart trust? This means as a spouse, you are convinced that despite all the fights and storms and challenges you and your spouse have had, you remain very sure, with no doubt, that your spouse will always care for you and value you. When you participate in heart trust, you go beyond just being a responsible spouse when it comes to tasks and commitments. Now you are saying to your spouse that you really do matter, I do care for you, and I do value you as a person and as my spouse.
When you are able to do this, then you are able to bring a deep sense of security and connection between the two of you that you really do value the other person and this marriage and that despite the ups and downs, you want to bring security and safety to the marriage by demonstrating in words and feelings a deep sense of heart trust.
Heart trust occurs when you really believe and are convinced without any doubt that your spouse is genuinely interested in your welfare and in what is best for the relationship. Yes, you can trust your spouse to pick up the children from baseball practice but you can also trust that he will not cheat on you nor allow his eyes or his mind to wander and think of someone else.
Thus you are able to perceive and be convinced that your spouse to be kind, generous, thoughtful, considerate and having your well-being present at all times. When you do perceive and feel this in your heart, you can say to yourself over and over again that I can trust my spouse with my heart, my feelings, my thoughts, and my intentions because I know he wants to hold and guard my heart. Just like giving your spouse a new kitten or a new puppy, you can also give your heart to your spouse knowing they will love, protect, and hold your heart with gentleness and kindness.
In fact, research has shown that heart trust, or faith in one's spouse to be caring and loving, does predict how well a couple may do over the long run for a long and lasting marriage. Sure having things in common can be important but it is not nearly as important as a predictor for a long and lasting marriage.
So let me ask you a question: When was the last time you sat down with your spouse and discussed heart trust? It is tempting to sit down with your spouse and talk about the daily events of the day or topics and problems that need to be fixed around the house, but how often do you focus on talking about heart trust? Can you see yourself having a conversation with your spouse in which you ask how is heart trust building in our marriage? If you are having troubles doing this, feel free to give me a call and let me sit down with you and your spouse to help build this heart trust. Marriages that really work and do last place value on heart trust and wanting a deep connection. Thanks for reading.

During the follicular phase (about the first 2 weeks) of the menstrual cycle, estrogen gradually builds up the uterine lining (endometrium). Estrogen causes the proliferation (growth) of endometrial stroma cells (connective tissue), epithelial cells (tissue), glands, vascular cells and the number of gap junctions. Estrogen increases myometrial excitability and stimulates uterine contractility.
Progesterone is the hormone that promotes uterine relaxation. During the secretory phase (last 2 weeks) of the menstrual cycle, progesterone stops growth of the endometrial tissue. Progesterone holds down the excessive tissue growth effects of estrogen. Heavy or irregular bleeding often occurs because estrogen dominance causes the temporary layer of the endometrium to overgrow. To much endometrial tissue builds up and then breaks down in a disorderly way. Low levels of progesterone cannot counteract the excess estrogen.
Cortisol is a hormone released due to stress. Cortisol impairs or diminishes progesterone activity; for many women low levels of progesterone contributes to excess menstrual bleeding and heavy cramping.
To a certain degree, stress can contribute to endometrial tissue buildup because stress drains the body of hormone balancing and healing nutrients. Stress increases cortisol levels. Cortisol impairs progesterone activity, by blocking or competing for progesterone receptors. Low progesterone contributes to estrogen dominance. This unbalance of excess estrogen contributes to the growth of the uterine lining (endometrium); this tissue over growth often contributes to heavy or irregular bleeding. Stress is not the primary factor, but it can be a contributing factor.
A bit more about progesterone
Progesterone decreases the biological activity of estradiol (estrogen) on the endometrium by decreasing the concentration of estradiol receptors, increasing the activity of 17 B-hydroxysteriod dehydrogenase type II, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of estradiol to estrone, and by increasing the activity of estrone sulfotransferase.
The primary role of progesterone is to support egg implantation and sustain pregnancy. Progesterone supports pregnancy by inhibiting uterine contractions and by suppressing the immune systems response to the developing embryo as a foreign body.
Just before ovulation progesterone secretion is 2 – 3 mg per day. After ovulation progesterone secretion is 20 – 25 mg per day, one week post ovulation 30 mg per day and during the third trimester of pregnancy 300 – 400 mg per day.

As a wellness coach and mentor, I am constantly looking for ways I can better support other women in their pursuit of honoring their health, taking better care of themselves (and their families), and living their best lives. So I launched a BRAND NEW opportunity in June that I like to call #livingCHANGErously!
This opportunity is more than just a fun group or a club. It's an active pursuit of our health – and one that is ongoing. In fact, I sum it up like this…#livingCHANGErously is the state of being in bold pursuit of your healthiest, happiest life; an active commitment to honor your health and live your purpose! But I get it. Even that might be a bit ambiguous, so here are all the details!

I've been looking through the forum for a while, and I finally decided I might as well throw my car on. So anyways, it's a 1986 535i. I've had her for a few months now, and I think its love. Its my daily, and could use more flush and whatnots, and in time i'm sure she'll have it, so I decided to make a build thread thing...more like a "picture of my car's slow evolution" thread
The day after I got the car
Had more ground clearance than that of a hummer, so three days after I got it, I broke out the grinder
While I was getting at those springs the diving boards got put on a diet too.
we drove around like that for a while, fixing little things that needed fixing here and there, baselining and whatnot.
One of my truck for fun
The leather was, well 25 years old, so I got the interior re dyed all nice and black
I had been looking around for some wheels, I googled but I couldn't find out how to plant a money tree, so I was looking on a budget. I came across a set of BBS style 19's and thought they would fit pretty well so I picked them up
The clear was failing on the wheels, and it wasn't very flattering, so I decided I would refinish them a little
Drove around for about a month or so, and decided I would try going bumperless for a minute
I got the fenders rolled and flared a little bit in the back for the future, put the bumper back on, and found a roof rack.
It was starting to ride pretty bad and sag a little funny on the cut springs, so I found some nex coilovers that are actually distributed about an hour and a half from my house, they surprisingly work very well. I'm quite pleased with them.
As a christmas gift, I was given some spacers, a set of 20mm and 15mm putting my wheel situation at 17x8 et0 in the rear and 17x8 et5 in the front. Along with that I got a factory skidplate...that pretty much sits on the ground.
And this is pretty much how it sits today.
So, that's my car for now. Advice and critiques welcome...not that it would have stopped you guys haha. Thanks for looking!

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has defended his decision to persist with Aidan Guerra at five-eighth as they desperately seek a way to break their five-game NRL losing streak.
Despite Guerra being named at his usual position of back-row, Robinson confirmed he will persevere with playing the Queensland forward in the playmaking role – with rookie Jayden Nikorima to again come off the bench against South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Friday.
Battered by injuries and suspension, Robinson said the value of Guerra's experience was telling in the opening exchanges.
"It gives Jayden a bit of time to see the game and come into the game when it's the right time for us," Robinson said.
The move to have Guerra at five-eighth heaps more pressure on 20-year-old halfback Jackson Hastings as the Roosters' only recognised playmaker.
"I think having an experienced guy at five-eighth helps," Robinson said.
"Aidan's still working hard to find his best footy. But there was a bit of an improvement there on the weekend. He's had a hand in some of our tries."
The Roosters are missing Mitchell Pearce (suspension), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (knee) and Boyd Cordner (pec) and are staring down the barrel of being 0-6 for the first time since their winless season in 1966.
Stretching back to last year, they have lost their past six, their worst run of defeats since their 2009 wooden spoon season.

Sergio Canavero head transplant: man will be attached to new body in under one hour and aim is immortality, doctor says
Italian doctor Sergio Canavero, who claims that he will transplant a man's head onto a donor's body, has said that he could do much of the procedure in less than an hour.
The procedure — which Canavero has admitted is just a first step towards his ultimate aim of creating immortality — will see a man's head removed and placed on a donor's body.
That will see the man's head get cooled down — as it is when doctors operate on some parts of the brain — and switched onto the different body. Doctors will then have a few minutes to attach the blood vessels and the whole thing will take less then an hour, Canavero said.
After that, the full joining process could take up to 24 hours. Canavero said that it would be carried out by a team of doctors to ensure that none of them got tired, and that doctors and surgeons from around the world had enquired about joining that team.
Canavero said that he will explain the procedure in depth at a neurosurgeons' conference on June 12. "I'll prove it is totally possible to all the sceptics there."
The patient for Canavero's first attempt at the head transplant has already been chosen, and identified as Valeri Spidonov. He is a 30-year-old Russian man who has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, which wastes away his muscles and means that his health is rapidly declining.
As well as casting doubt on the scientific likelihood of the procedure, doctors have said that if successful it could cause huge problems for Canavero. One expert warned that Spidonov could suffer something "a lot worse than death".
The doubt of those in Europe and Russia mean that Canavero could head to China to carry out the procedure, he said.
"I'm ready for that. I've been studying Chinese for a few years.
"You should understand that it's not simply a medical procedure. This surgery has a political meaning."
Canavero's comments come as conspiracy theories circulate on the internet that the entire head transplant story could be a marketing stunt. Internet users have pointed out the similarities between Canavero and a character from the game Metal Gear Solid 5, and have claimed that the entire tale could have been created by the game's creator Hideo Kojima.
The conspiracy centres around a number of coincidences between Canavero's story and that of Metal Gear Solid. Canavero published an article about the surgery, which he was then calling "Gemini", as an article two days after the launch of Metal Gear Solid 5, which featured characters called Gemini that had cybernetic heads. There are a range of other unlikely coincidences, including special names and timings.
It's unlikely that Canavero's story is fake — he has published over 100 papers and carried out genuine medical procedures, as blog Kotaku noted in a post detailing the claims — but has brought extra attention to Canavero's claims.

Wells Fargo to Pay $1.2 Billion to Settle Mortgage Fraud Case
Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle civil mortgage fraud claims as a result of a lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the company's participation in a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) lending program.
Under the settlement, which was approved Friday by U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman for the Southern District of New York, Wells Fargo has admitted responsibility for certifying to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that certain residential home mortgage loans were eligible for FHA insurance, when in reality they were not. When some of the loans defaulted, the government (meaning taxpayers) were forced to pay the FHA insurance claims.
Read the original article in Reverse Mortgage Daily.

MANILA—President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the recommendation of the Department of National Defense (DND) to revive mandatory Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program "to instill love of country and good citizenship among the youth."
Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella said President Duterte gave go signal for endorsement in Congress of a bill amending Republic Act No. 7077 which mandates the "institutionalization, development, training and organization" of basic ROTC in Grades 11 and 12 during last Tuesday's cabinet meeting.
Abella said the mandatory ROTC program will cover public and private senior high schools.
"In his 2016 State of the Nation Address, the President made a policy pronouncement to strengthen the ROTC program to instill love of country and good citizenship among the youth, and to make it once again mandatory," Abella said in a text message to Palace reporters on Wednesday.
He said it will be submitted to Congress for deliberations and hopefully, for approval.
ROTC is now just one of the three components of the National Service Training Program, a civic education and defense preparedness program for Filipino college students.
A hazing incident involving the death of Mark Welson Chua of the University of Sto. Tomas and corruption have prompted the government to stop the mandatory implementation of ROTC program in 2001.

Well, the numbers are in, and they don't look good. May kicks off the summer sales events for automobile manufacturers, and June is truly the kick-off for the industry. Convertible and sports car sales usually get into full swing this time of year, but not this year. While almost all of the manufacturers' sales were down from May, BMW, Jaguar/Land Rover (owned by Indian company Tata), and Hyundai had their sales increase. Of those three, Hyundai was up about 3,000 cars, Jaguar/Land Rover was up 800, and BMW was up about 1,300.
The significance of this shows up when you look at May's sales figures and realize that this is more than a 33% increase for Jaguar/Land Rover month-to-month, and I believe it was fueled by the recent release of the all new Jaguar XJ sedan. Hyundai, of course, is just continuing its meteoric rise, owing to the new 2011 Sonata sedan and Tucson SUV.
Meanwhile, the current Big Three, namely GM, Ford and Toyota, in that order, each had over 20,000 less sales in June than they had in March. The troubling part is that it wasn't their luxury brands which lost out, but the bread-and-butter brands of Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota, respectively.
Sales in June were down a little over 119,000, and only 2,000 higher than sales in April. This is disconcerting, especially as I hear that our economy is supposed to be flat or improving. It makes sense when the number of unemployment applications went up 13,000 last month. People are scared to spend new-car kind of money right now, which does not bode well for the automotive industry this year. Hopefully things will start to improve in July and August, because if they don't, there are gonna be a TON of 2010 models sitting on dealer lots when the 2011s start arriving in force this fall.
Year-to-Date, GM continues to lead, but only by 100,000 vehicles over 2nd-place Ford. Honda and Chrysler are battling it out for 3rd place, with Honda in the lead by almost 70,000 cars. Nissan and Hyundai are within spitting distance of each other, and they have a huge gap over Volkswagen and everyone else.
UPDATE: While the graph says "May" on it, the numbers are in fact for June, 2010. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

04 Jun A Heart for a Homeless Single Mom
Here's the hero story of the day courtesy of my friend Ginny Clarke with whom I co-authored Career Mapping. (Fair warning: You'd better have some tissues nearby): Homeless, But Not Helpless — A Personal Story
Please read it and then return here for my response.
This morning around 5:00 I went out to walk Mika, as usual. As we walked into the doggy park (as I call it) across the street. I noticed a young woman and a child sitting on the park bench under the pergola. There was a stroller, but I couldn't tell if there was another child. I kept walking and made my normal loop as Mika handled her business. I looked at the young woman, but she didn't look at me, only straight ahead. They looked clean and healthy from a distance, not in immediate distress. The little girl, who appeared to be about 3, was warmly dressed in a coat and boots as if to ward off the evening chill. She was wide awake and energetic.
It appeared as though this woman and her child, or children, were homeless. Why else would you have your children outside on a park bench at 5 in the morning? This woman was smart enough to come to an affluent neighborhood with frequent dog walkers and regular police patrol. I kept walking and wondered what, if anything, I might do. I thought about taking her food, then remembered the women's shelter run by friends of mine, The Primo Center for Women and Children.
I walked the two blocks back home, grabbed some cash and a blank card and wrote out the name, address and contact for the shelter. Mika was confused that we went back out, but trotted along happily. From a distance I could see she was still there. I approached slowly and asked if she was OK. She said, "Yes, we're OK." The little girl was delighted by Mika and offered her a stalk from a plant. I asked her name and she told me. She was beautiful, bright eyes and sweet smile. There was no other child in the stroller, it was for the little girl.
"Do you need a place to stay?" I asked the mother. "Yes" she replied softly, looking curiously in my eyes now. "I have a place for you," I said, pulling the card from my pocket. "Take the bus here and ask for Shelley. Will you go?" She nodded. I pulled the cash out and handed it to her. "Go get some breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts, it's two blocks away and close to the train and bus," I said.
The young woman was incredulous. I said, "I know you are proud and strong. Give me a hug." She stood up and tears flowed, "I don't know what to say. Thank you. I thought I saw you walk by earlier. Are you an angel?" "We are all angels," I said, as tears ran down my cheek. She hugged me and said, "I will go because I can do things, I'm used to working." "I know. They can help you," I said.
"Can I have your number so I can let you know how I am doing?" the mother asked. I gave it to her and she dialed it so I would have her number. I gave her another hug, told her to be on their way, and said goodbye. As Mika and I walked home tears streamed down my face. I wasn't sad, nor did I feel like a hero, I just kept thinking, "but for the grace of God go I." I have been a single mother for many years. I've never been close to homelessness, but in those few minutes with this young woman, we were connected and I was reminded of the fragility of our lives. I didn't ask to hear her story; it will come out. In that moment she needed protection for that little girl, some hope and a chance.
When I got home, I continued to cry. I woke my son up to tell him the story. He listened in his dark room, then said, "That's nice Mom" and dozed back off. I sat on the balcony to meditate and gave thanks for my many blessings. I noticed that the mother's call had come through on my phone. I called her to ask if they were on their way. She said, "Yes and thank you. I'll let you know how it goes." I said, "Please do; I love you." "I love you, too," she replied.
In our pilot program class for Orange Duffel Bag Foundation (www.ODBF.org), all but two of the teen girls in the class were moms, and some of them had more than one child. Teen girls in foster care are six times more likely to get pregnant than their peers. When I read Ginny's post, my heart broke. There's a strong likelihood that this young woman aged out of foster care. More than 50% of kids who age out of the system – at age 18 in most states – experience homelessness within the first six months of leaving the system. I don't know too many 18-year-olds who are equipped to be completely out on their own with no adult support whatsoever. Nationally only about 50% of youth in foster care graduate high school or get their GEDs yet a study recently came out that said 90% of all available jobs set that as a minimum requirement. The unemployment rate among young people who have been in foster care is second only that of people with disabilities.
We must all open our eyes to the hurting families and children around us. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Ginny for going the extra mile and being an angel in this young woman's life. We could use a lot more angels in this world, and so can older teens in foster care. Without our love and concern, too many are destined to become our nation's invisible homeless. Like this young woman, those who need us desperately may look from a distance like they are just fine. Only when you come close is the full picture revealed.

When I thought about my "dream closet" based on Compass, a new real estate platform based in NY, and the amazing listings on their site, visions of my fairy tale closet popped into my head immediately. Growing up with a father who made dream closets a reality (Albinson's Clutter-Free Closets in Ft. Pierce. Fl) I always had the best of the best for the space I had, but I have never had enough space for my true "dream closet". If I could create my ultimate closet fantasy it would be big and uncluttered, have an island for my jewelry, would always have fresh flowers on the island, have a chandelier, leopard print carpet, a fabulous chair for sitting or draping clothes over, and to be really over the top…a silver vintage champagne bucket on a stand. I found a few pictures that, put together, kind of create a vision of what I have in mind!
What does your dream closet look like?
