Why Are Unhappy People Unhappy?
Angie Lewis
2/12/2008 / Self Help
Unhappy people are usually unhappy because they have not mastered the ability to be happy within themselves. Therefore, they may try and gain happiness/pleasure through others no matter what that entails. Don't get confused with my usage of unhappiness and then compare it to depression because they are two different things. This article is about unhappy people - not depressed people.
An unhappy person often uses others to get what they need out of life. At first this may work, but after a while the relationship begins to experience problems because their partner cannot tolerate the life getting literally sucked out of them. This kind of needy and spongy behavior is what the medical and psychiatric establishments like to call, "codependency".
There is nothing really wrong with these kinds of people, except for the fact they need to come out of their selfishness, grow up, be accountable and take responsibility for their own happiness. Unfortunately when certain establishments coin codependency as some life long emotional problem, people don't take responsibility for their behavior. For them it's always someone else's fault why they drink, why they look at porn, why they do drugs, why they have an anger management problem, why they feel like the whole world owes them a favor, and why they continue to live a bitter filled existence.
"Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." -- Og Mandino
The problem begins when the unhappy person does not get all of their needs and desires met through someone else and believe they are unhappy because of the person they married. But in actuality nothing is further from the truth. Unhappy and bitter people have made an addiction for themselves they have a compulsion to wallow in their misery. They are stuck inside of their discontent and bitter heart and can't get out, no matter how much they continue to use and abuse others for happiness.
The miserable person may even seem jovial to others on the outside they go to work every day, take care of their families, and seem to have a normal life, but on the inside something is amiss with these unhappy, bitter folks. They often complain about others, and try and control any one they can to get their needs and desires met. But marriage, and any relationship for that matter, cannot stand up under such abuse and the marriage usually ends in divorce.
So, what can an unhappy person do to help themselves out of their misery? First off the unhappy person should realize that happiness does not grow on trees you cannot get happiness through others. You are hurting so many people in the process of creating happiness for yourself and that is very wrong.
Happiness is found within the person you are you master happiness for yourself, once you master the art of connecting with your Creator. If your connection is faulty so will be the person you can be the whole and complete person you were created to become. Happiness is made through building up your spiritual connection with God. God gives us everything we need to sustain ourselves with. If you have made room in your heart for His wisdom, knowledge and love, then you will find happiness within.
Jesus said, "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you shall receive, and your JOY will be complete." (John 16:24 NIV)

Hasbro Factory Movie
We heard in May 2010 Hasbro and Paramount are developing a movie that would include as many of Hasbro's properties as possible. The film, tentatively titled the Hasbro Factory, would kind of look like Night at The Museum with the spirit of Toy Story. So I guess we may expect a mix of CGI and live action.
The project is still under works according to Scriptwriter Josh Stolberg who revealed that he has been hired along Bobby Florsheim to pen a script for the Hasbro Factory movie:
"Bobby Florsheim and I just signed up to do a film for Hasbro that we're incredibly excited about – it's a big family film and we get to play around with a lot of Hasbro brands, but at the end of the day it's just a great father-kid relationship story kinda in a Night at the Museum-kinda template."
Scriptwriter Josh Stolberg
Here below a list of action figures, toys and games from Hasbro that could show up in the Hasbro Factory movie:
Army Ants Battle Beasts Cabbage Patch Kids (1989-1994) Easy-Bake Oven G.I. Joe Jem Lincoln Logs Lite-Brite M.A.S.K. Mr. Potato Head My Little Pony NERF Play-Doh Pokémon Spirograph Star Wars Tinkertoys Transformers Zoids S.P.A.C.E.S | Axis and Allies Battleship Candy Land Cranium Clue (Cluedo) Diplomacy Dungeons & Dragons The Game of Life Magic: The Gathering Duel Masters Trading Card Game Monopoly Ouija Pictionary Risk Scrabble Trivial Pursuit Mirror-Mirror Bop It Bull's Eye Ball Jenga |
Do you have any preference regarding the toys? Or any suggestion regarding the script? Leave your thoughts below!
Anyway, more information about the Hasbro Factory movie as soon as details emerge.

The wife wants to take the family vacation to Myrtle Beach this summer. We've never been there, so I'm asking for recommendations/advice on places to stay and attractions from those that have.
Printable View
The wife wants to take the family vacation to Myrtle Beach this summer. We've never been there, so I'm asking for recommendations/advice on places to stay and attractions from those that have.
We rented a house in North Myrtle Beach the last 3 years. We really liked it. It had a private pool and a golf cart to drive to the beach. The beach was across the street.
There is a tone of stuff to do with kids, that is why we went. Water parks, nascar parks, amusement rides, boardwalk,golf, etc. It is made for familes.
First deside if you want to rent a home, or a condo. The condo might have a view of the ocean, but it might be on the 15 floor. You have long rides back and forth to the pool.
The myrtle beach chamber of commerce sent us a ton of stuff.
We also got on-line and searched Myrtle Beach rentals. Both houses, and condo's. This is the best way because it eliminates the middle-man most of the time and you get it a little cheaper when people rent out their property themselves.
dont stay at a place called captains quarters--we stayed there about 3 years ago-elevators didnt work half the time--the rooms werent all that---we stood in line for an hour to register when we got there and everyone in line in front of me seemed to have a customer service issue(plus it was like 98 degrees every day with the humidity to match---ugh!!! )
I would suggest looking into some of the beaches around Myrtle such as Surfside and Garden City Beaches which are about 10 miles south of Myrtle. We have vacationed at Surfside several times, it's more of a family beach, not too crowded, and you can still go to Myrtle Beach area for the nightlife, shows, etc. Myrtle Beach in the summer is just too crowded to enjoy yourself with a family IMO...
We stayed in a house in Surfside the last time we were there. Very nice. Fairly quiet.
If you're driving down be sure to allow yourself an extra 3 hours to drive the last 10 miles.
Better yet try Ocean Isle or Sunset Beaches about 30 min ride from Myrtle great beaches and few crowds. I have some contacts for Condo rentals at reasonable rates.
Thanks for all your suggestions guy. I've spent the last 2 hours kinda browsing hotels/resorts in MB just to get a feel. We're looking at staying 5 nights (6/28-7/3). A few places I have noted have quoted me rates around $750 for that time frame, which is what I want to spend. I have 3 teenagers so I want to be near attractions for them obviously. But it's my vacation too, so I want to be able to relax while they can go to stuff within walking distance.
While those other locations some have mentioned, like North MB and Sunset, may be more family friendly, quiet; I don't want to have to fight traffic daily to/fro in order to drive to the attractions, or to get into MB. Is there much else there at those locations other then the beaches?
We've been going to the Smokys for the last 20 years, so I know what it's like to fight crowds and traffic.
I would be interested to know some of those locations and rates. Thank you.
I have family that owns property and rents it out down there, I believe it is a condo with pool etc. I can give you their email address if you would like. As far as what attractions are near it I don't know you would have to ask them. I think that they told me $500.00 a week. Like I am going to pay them that, when I could hijac a ride with their mother and father and stay for free. :D
Speaking for Surfside and Garden City, no there aren't a whole lot of attractions besides the beach outside of a few good restaurants, shops, and maybe an arcade. We would go to Myrtle Beach two or three nights out of the week for a theater show or to Barefoot Landing or something so it wasn't that big of a hassle. But if you plan on going to Myrtle Beach every evening looking for something to do, you're right, you'll want to stay at Myrtle I would think. I know how easily bored teenagers can get. Our biggest attraction is always the sand and the waves though, just thinking about it makes me jealous on this rainy day!
Any information you can give me I would appreciate Ken. Talk to them, and if needed I'll PM you my email where they can send me info and possibly answer an questions I may have.... Is it in MB? If not, then how close? What is nearby?
If it was just me and the wife, then those "remote" locations sound ideal. But with three teens, they'd probably get pretty bored looking for something to do other then the beach.
And just like when we go to Gatlinburg, we enjoy walking around and having easy access to all the various shops/attractions, without a lot of driving to and fro to get there, and ESPECIALLY sitting in bumper to bumper traffic trying to get there daily.
I'd just as soon find a place somewhere in MB where I can do my thing (vegetate), at my pace and leisure, and the teens can do theirs.
I went to MB a couple of summers ago. I wouldn't go back if it were free. The hotel was amazing though. It was the Marriot Resort. I can't recall the name. It was about 200 a night I think.

LONDON, May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The European market for interventional radiology and cardiology is heading towards maturity, especially in Western Europe. Although the economic slowdown and fewer orders had a negative impact on revenues in 2012, it is expected that expanding applications of interventional systems and the popularisation of hybrid solutions will drive market growth over the 2013-2017 period.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.medtech.frost.com), Market Trends in Europe Interventional Radiology and Cardiology, finds that the market earned approximately $336.7 million in 2012 and estimates this to reach $352.6 million in 2016. Novel applications, the demand for hybrid solutions and the need for new systems in Eastern Europe will fuel market growth.
One of the key trends in medicine is the steady replacement of open surgeries with minimally invasive procedures. Hybrid operating rooms support this trend.
"The expansion of minimally invasive procedures and hybrid operating rooms are set to galvanise the interventional radiology and cardiology markets," notes Frost & Sullivan's Healthcare Industry Analyst Dominika Grzywinska . "Minimally invasive procedures are becoming increasingly popular, among both patients and healthcare providers. This has spurred the demand for hybrid operating rooms accommodating interventional systems."
Hybrid systems combine operating room equipment with large diagnostic units and can be used by a variety of medical specialties. A mid-term obstacle could potentially be the high cost of such hybrid solutions. Nevertheless, an increasing number of healthcare facilities are investing in such models, as they offer a significant competitive advantage, and with appropriate throughput, a positive return on investment.
The economic slump had a strong impact on revenues in 2012, particularly in the more mature markets of Western Europe, such as Italy and Spain. Confronted by economic uncertainty, many facilities decided to put their investments on hold, contributing to lower revenue generation.
"With approaching market saturation, especially in Western Europe, end users are increasingly interested in user-friendly, integrated solutions," concludes Grzywinska. "Vendors need to offer customised solutions that meet the specific needs of end-users, rather than providing standard, ready-to-use ones."

Protect Your Interests If Your Property In Marietta, Atlanta Or North Georgia Is Condemned By Eminent Domain
At Sams, Larkin, Huff & Balli in Marietta, our experience with advising residential and business clients, including tenants and other lease holders, in condemnation and eminent domain proceedings can help protect the value of your property. If you need advice about the best ways to negotiate a fair price to compensate you for the impact of a public taking of your home or business, contact one of our lawyers.
Advice About Your Property Rights In Metro Atlanta
Eminent domain, or condemnation as it's often known, is the right of federal, state or local government to force the sale of private property for a public purpose — highway construction, schools or hospitals or, more controversially, other private purposes intended to expand a declining tax base.
If you are faced with the threat of condemnation or eminent domain:
- The first problem is to develop a good sense of the value of your property.
- Then negotiate with the government land acquisition agent to achieve it.
- For business owners, another problem is to quantify the lasting impact of direct or indirect condemnation to develop a reasonable demand for the loss of value to your business.
Our law firm's experience with eminent domain allows us to present your case in persuasive terms for all aspects of your projected loss, from loss of the value of land and buildings to relocation costs, loss of access, and other adverse consequences you can expect as a result of public infrastructure development, either on your own property or on land close enough by to affect the value of your property rights.
More importantly, the pairing of our trial and transactional skills allows us to get involved on your behalf at the very early stages of the process.
We encourage you to contact us as soon as you hear that a government entity is interested in your property. We can help you take the proper steps to enhance the value of your property and minimize the impact that the taking will have on your home and business.
We represent clients in eminent domain cases at every stage from negotiations to trials of disputed values in superior court. It's useful to engage counsel early, because your bargaining power will be strongest in the earliest stages of the process. We may be able to negotiate changes to the project that make it less intrusive on you.
To learn more about our experience with property condemnation in North Georgia, contact an attorney at Sams, Larkin, Huff & Balli in Marietta at 770-884-4819.

Twenty-four 10-day-old, artificially reared, coccidia-free goslings (Anser cygnoides var. domestica) were inoculated orally with $1.0\times 10^{5}-1.0\times 10^{6}$ sporulated oocysts of Eimeria nocens, and killed at intervals from 30 to 336 hr postinoculation (PI). Parts of the visceral organs, including intestines, kidney, liver, gallbladder, and spleen from inoculated goslings, were fixed and sectioned. The life cycle of E. nocens and histologic changes during infection were examined microscopically. The results showed that at least 3 generations of meronts developed in the endogenous stage of the life cycle of E. nocens. Two types of meronts were found. The first completed maturation at 54 to 78 hr PI. These meronts were the first generation, with each forming about 12 merozoites. The second completed maturation at 102 to 240 hr PI. These meronts were the second or third generations, with each meront forming about 24 merozoites. Development of gamonts began at about 198 hr after infection. The prepatent period was 9 days and discharge of oocysts continued for 4 days. Sporulation of oocysts occurred in 60-72 hr at 25 C. Eimeria nocens invaded the posterior jejunum, ileum, caecum, rectum, and cloaca. Developmental stages were localized within the epithelial cells of villi and crypts, and in lamina propria. Marked histological changes, including desquamation and necrosis of intestinal epithelium, submucosal edema, hemorrhages, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and villous atrophy, were seen during the periods of late merogony, gamogony, and oocyst shedding. They were most pronounced in the ileum and the regions nearby. The infected goslings showed severe diarrhea, bloody feces, anorexia, emaciation, and even death, suggesting that E. nocens is highly pathogenic for goslings.

Abduction!!! Muskegon,Michigan....Update....
Quoting cjsix:
Quoting Anonymous:
Was there CCTV.
What is CCTV?
Right! That seems shady to me that he was rude. To me rudeness in these situations make you look guilty. I wonder if he was involved in some way. Just too shady...My dh has to get up for work then...and I'm obviously suffering from insomnia anyways so I'll try to watch that!
Quoting Anonymous:NM- Not a news confrence- read it wrong. A local station starting on their "Daybreak" show at 4:30 will have live interviews.
For more info, you can check these facebook pages:
Wood TV8
Muskegon ChronicleFrom what I am reading now, the owner was confronted on the news last night, and was really rude, and refused to install a camera system.
If I were her family, I would be suing him for not providing a safe work environment.
Muskegon isn't Detroit, but there is a lot of gang activity, and unsafe areas.
Quoting Anonymous:I would have presumed it was law. I don't know how a gas station can get away with NOT having one.
All I have heard to this point, is that he admitted to the girl's parents that he does not have any cameras.
There is supposed to be a news conference at 4:30am. Not sure why that time- they announced it at like midnight. Seems a weird time to set it, unless that found something, but the news report also said it had been upgraded for missing person to abduction at the same time, so I doubt they found her yet. :(
Quoting Journeysmama11:I think that security cams in gas stations should be law. (i'm assuming it's not?) What did the owner have to say about it? Does he feel bad about not having cams?
Quoting Anonymous:
The owner has admitted he has no security camera's, which is not going to help the investigation- it's now reliant completely on eye witnesses, which are not very plentiful that late at night.Quoting Journeysmama11:Omg I live in Michigan. I hope they find her! That's scary! Definitely shouldn't have females locking up a gas station alone.
Did they not have cameras or did they not see anything on them?
I really hope she is ok and they find her, that is so scary!
I'm about twenty minutes away from there, her flier is all over our local gas stations.
ABC News over night has mention Jessica, several times now which is a good thing,as the more people who hear about this the more chance hopefully of finding her safe.

On 1 April, Al-Shabaab gunmen attacked Garissa University College killing 147 Muslims and non-Muslim students alike. The gunmen attempted a feeble show of doing a religious test; but it's inaccurate to claim that all those killed were Christians.
The events that took place in Garissa were also inaccurately portrayed by local and Western journalists, who initially and recklessly referred to the gunmen as "Somali militants." This made it seem like the group was made up of only Somali nationals or it represented the interests of the Somali nation.
One of the attackers has now been identified as being from northeast Kenya. Let me repeat that: he was from Kenya, not Somalia. None of the attackers has been identified as being from Somalia.
Journalists focused on the who (and didn't even do a good job in answering that question) rather on why youth in Kenya are turning to extremism.
Al-Shabaab in Kenya
During the Ethiopian occupation of south and central Somalia from 2006-09, Kenya was used as a sort of rear base by many of the groups then resisting the Ethiopian occupation. Kenyan hospitals were used to treat some injured fighters from groups such as the Ras Kamboni Brigades, the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia, and Al-Shabaab. Funds were raised and fighters recruited. The Kenyan government did nothing to stop all of this until 2009 when Al-Shabaab controlled almost all the areas of Somalia bordering Kenya.
By then many of the fighters from the other groups had been integrated into Al-Shabaab. It continued to raise funds and recruit from within Kenya.
The Kenyan government invaded Somalia in 2011 with the intention of installing a friendly administration along its borders in response to several attacks and abductions that had taken place in its Coast Province, most notably in the tourist destination, Lamu (it should be noted that these were not directly linked with the Somali insurgents).
There is no evidence to suggest that Al-Shabab would have attacked Kenya before the latter sent its troops across the border. However, in fairness to Kenya, Al-Shabaab is hardly a reliable security partner.
The major problem with the Kenyan intervention was that it failed to take into account the effects it would have on its own internal security. It had no convincing plan to simultaneously take care of security threats within Kenya whilst its troops were engaged on the other side of the border.
At this point the Kenyan security services came up with the policy of killing off Islamic clerics and the disappearing of hundreds of Muslim youth (reportedly murdered by security forces, according to an Al-Jazeera documentary).
Another problem for Kenya was the fact that its army expected to be welcomed as victors by a local Somali population that felt nothing but distrust for foreign armies marching into its territory. The indiscriminate aerial and naval bombings did nothing to win hearts and minds (quite the opposite). The policy of revenge bombings of Somali villages following Al-Shabaab attacks inside Kenya continues.
Al-Shabaab portrayed the Garissa attack as revenge for all the Muslim people killed by Kenyan troops in Somalia and Kenya; furthermore, it referred to the university as a place where Muslim youth were being taught "˜unislamic' subjects. However preposterous this justification may be, its core audience seems satisfied.
On hearing of the attack, the most common response I heard from Somalis was surprise that the local Somalis in Garissa seemed to be the minority at a university in their own region. This fact was publicised among extremist circles to further justify the attack.
Following the attack, Somalis on Twitter could be seen expressing fears of going out to donate blood lest they be harassed by Kenyan troops. Many were reportedly beaten by the security forces, which would strike most people as being an ineffective method of defeating an insurgent group.
But, as Richard Dowden rightly notes, Kenyan troops have been doing this to the Somalis since independence. Thousands have been killed in Wajir and Garissa by troops who, ironically, claim that they are deployed to stop inter-clan killings among the Somalis.
On Mohamed Adow's documentary for Al-Jazeera, Not Yet Kenyan, one of the interviewees tells him that on one day in the early 1980s the Kenyan troops raped "every woman in Garissa". Let me repeat this for you: Kenyan troops raped every woman in Garissa in one day in the early 80s.
Whether or not all were actually raped is irrelevant; what matters is the perception among the locals that all their women were at one point violated by Kenyan troops.
In Nairobi, as recently as a year ago, more than a thousand ethnic Somalis were rounded up by Kenyan security forces and kept in open air cages that were caught on film by a human rights activist. For months these people, many holding Kenyan citizenship, were kept in squalid conditions, with at least one woman reportedly giving birth without any medical help from her Kenyan captors.
If we want to discuss why Kenyan youth from communities that have been oppressed by the state join Al-Shabaab, there you have it. Kenya needs to treat its citizens equally and stop pointing the finger towards the border.

Molasses-paced fable.
Though it's sweet and likable to a fault, it's also a movie that never seems heartfelt or deep.
It handles a sports movie the way Billie Holiday handled a trashy song, by finding the love and pain beneath the story.

The Childs Chalkboard Here's a nifty weekend project that will give the kids a great place to excersie their artistic talents, practice their math and leave important messags for parents, as well.
All children love to draw and doodle. Crayons and/or markers on paper are a great choice...but errors made with these materials can be difficult or impossible to correct. On the other hand, colored chalks on a chalkboard like this can be a lot less frustrating...and that can make everything a lot more fun, too.
Just let these easy-to-follow plans guide you to the creation of a project that's handsome enough to display in any room of the house...and enjoyable enough that your favorite kid (or kids) will look forward to hours on end of self-entertainment. We made this one out of hard maple with contrasting cherry drawer sides. Both of these are durable woods that are a true joy to work with.
Building The Framework Be sure to select stock that's of a consistent, 3/4" thickness. If you have difficulty doing so and own a thickness planer, be sure to plane the stock for the stiles and rails (A,B,C) to 3/4" and cut them to size, according to the Bill Of Materials. If you are going to plane your own stock, joint one edge of these pieces first, then run them all through your planer at the same time. This way, you're certain to get the straightest, most consistently thicknessed stock possible. Note that the inner rail (C) is 1/2" wider than the other two rails (B).
Using your dado setup, cut the 2" long x 3/8" deep lap joints in the ends of the stiles (A) and rails (B), as shown. If you make these joints about 1/32" or less wider than the indicated 2", you can sand the joints off flush once you've assembled the framework. CAUTION: Using the dado setup requires working without the upper saw guard. Be extremely careful when performing this operation.
Next, lay out and cut the mortises and tenons for attaching the inner rail (C) to the stiles (A). The tenons on each end of the inner rail (C) should be 1/4" thick by 2" long by 1/2" deep. Now, cut the mortises using your Shopsmith Hollow Chisel Mortising setup or your Router setup with a 1/4" straight bit. If you don't own either of these setups, you can drill your mortises out with a 1/4" brad point bit, then clean them up with a bevel-edged wood chisel. To keep the tenons from bottoming-out, make the mortises just slightly deeper than the 1/2" tenons -- 9/16" is about right. Dry fit the frame assembly to be sure everything goes together properly.
Using your dado or router setup, cut a 1/4" deep by 3/8" wide rabbet along the inside back edges of the stiles (A), top rail (B) and inner rail (C) to accept your 1/4" thick chalkboard. NOTE: If you're using a purchased chalkboard that's thicker than 1/4", adjust your rabbet depth accordingly.
Glue and assemble the stiles (A), rails (B) and inner rail (C) to create the framework. Be sure to check carefully for squareness at all joints and set aside to dry.

Sorry I've been so negligent lately! I'll try to better next month! Here's my last picture for the month of June. I've lately spent several hours at night looking up concept art from various Disney films. It's really fun. You should try it sometime! I looked up Cinderella, Peter Pan, Tangled, The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, and Mary Poppins - one of which you see below. They're all so fun and I love the style. This is one of my favorites. It's currently one of the backgrounds I use at work. It's so colorful and magical!

Colorado Rhodochrosites
Among the hundreds of gold and silver mines that operated in Colorado from the 1870's to the present are many that also produced vivid red-pink rhodochrosite specimens. Although the Sweet Home Mine in Park County, Colorado is best known for the rhodochrosite specimens mined during the 1990's, many other Colorado mines have produced aesthetic examples of this manganese carbonate mineral.
Specimens from the Sweet Home Mine , as well as lesser known mines such as the Grizzly Bear, Moose and Sunnyside mines, are displayed here, thanks to a generous loan from Dave Bunk.
Exhibition will be on display - February 6- May 12, 2013 - Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday - 12:00-5:00pm; Thursday - 12-8pm
Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 12:00pm to 5:00pm

Application of the Residence Concept to the Anticosti Aster (Symphyotrichum anticostense) in Canada
Does the concept of residence under SARA apply to this species? No
Detailed Rationale:
(1) Does the ecology of the species include the use of a dwelling place--which is a specific location (or locations) or discrete spatial area that contains features similar to a den or nest, or performs functions similar to a den or nest?
No - the specific location occupied by an individual Anticosti Aster plant is plainly a part of the general habitat of the species; there is no inherent feature of this area similar to a den or nest.
(2) Are these locations occupied or habitually occupied during all or part of the species' life cycle? NA
(3) Are these locations essential to the successful performance of a specific, crucial function of the species' life-cycle? NA
Summary of Rationale:
Individual Anticosti Aster plants do not appear to use a dwelling place similar to a nest or den, and therefore do not qualify for having a residence. There would be no additional legal protection not already afforded by protection of the individual and its critical habitat.
Additional Information

Some look to fishing as a form of relaxation, others as a sport. Some rely on fishing as a way to gather food and some even (luckily) do it for a living. Deep ocean fishing is a pretty difficult task as it requires a lot of patience, a virtue that not a lot of people have, but it's well worth doing for anyone visiting the Florida Keys.
Want to catch bonefish in the Florida Keys?
How about fishing for them in water as deep as 130 feet?
For flats anglers, that concept seems absolutely absurd. After all, bonefish are normally caught and released in shallow waters anywhere from 1 to 4 feet in depth on light-spin, fly or plug tackle.
But during the past holiday season, anglers aboard two Islamorada-based party boats reeled in bonefish in deep water while targeting lane snapper and porgies.
An angler on the Miss Islamorada, skippered by Captain Ben Loy out of Bud N Marys Fishing Marina, caught a small bonefish in the early afternoon of Dec. 29. The fisherman was using a rig with multiple hooks baited with squid. The silver ghost was photographed and quickly released.

36 Y/o Mother of 3 Ready to Get my Body Back Tummy Tuck W/o Liposuction - Cary, NC
I have had several consultations in the Virginia Beach area. When I traveled to NC to consult with Dr. Stoeckel, I was pleased. His bed side manners are superb and he took his time to explain everything and I didn't feel rushed. I wanted lipo; however he was completely honest and suggested that I lose weight, that caught my attention. I immediately felt like he was not in this just for the money. He takes pride in his work.I haven't had my procedure done yet; however I am feeling confident. Janell does all the paperwork and takes the deposits, she was awesome as well and went through everything again and was very thorough. I am feeling anxious. I will update as I go through my procedure.

Surgery is in two days. I had consultations with 4 plastic surgeons. I decided on Dr. Stoeckel. All of the surgeons had good reputations and I am sure do fine work. Dr. Stoeckel seemed to listen to my concerns, was able to make me feel more comfortable with my decision, and made me excited thinking about what the results will be. His staff is very caring and thorough also!

Drivetrain Noise, no 4wd
Hello all,
I decided to turn to the wealth of information on forums to try to diagnose my friend's jeep. Here is the relevant information: 1998 Jeep Wrangler 5spd 6 Cylinder 210k Miles Today it started making noise from underneath the shifter that is speed dependent, doesn't go away with the clutch in. The 4wd stopped working as well. It runs normally in RWD mode with no vibrations or driveability issues. I am thinking transfer case... Are there any diagnosis steps that I can take to further pin this down before I rip this sucker apart? Thanks in advance! |
something in the transfer case is bad.

NY Times-
April 18, 2002 High Schools Vie to Build a Robotic Champ NEW HAVEN -- THE robot known as Rhode Warrior was due back on the playing field in less than 20 minutes, and the cramped pit area in which it was parked was a hive of urgent activity. Students from Middletown High School in Middletown, R.I., clustered to discuss refinements in their strategy for the next match. In one corner, a student's mother worked on a sewing machine, mending one of the two conveyor belts that allow the Rhode Warrior, which looks like a rolling phone booth, to vacuum up soccer balls from the field. David Ferreira, a Middletown High alumnus who returns each year to assist the team, knelt to reattach a small aluminum plate that helps guide balls between the conveyor belts and into the robot. "Repair? We don't believe in that word," Mr. Ferreira said, leaning out from behind the robot and breaking into a broad grin. "This is just tweaking." Middletown High's Rhode Warrior was one of 63 machines that faced off here in early April at the New England regionals of the robotics competition known as First. The event in New Haven, which required teams of students to collaborate with professional engineers to build a robot using a standardized kit of parts, was a prelude to the national championships to be held April 25 to 27 in Orlando, Fla. The First season (the acronym stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) runs from January through April. Nearly 650 high schools in the United States and Canada field teams of roughly 15 to 20 students. The program was started in 1992 by Dean Kamen, a National Medal of Technology winner and the inventor of the Segway Human Transporter, and Woodie Flowers, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their goal was to expose high school students to the joys of tackling technical challenges and encourage them to consider careers in science and engineering. Mr. Kamen and Dr. Flowers have built First into the country's largest robotics competition: 16,000 people, including the spectators, typically attend the national championships, and each robot is plastered, Nascar-style, with the logos of sponsors like General Motors, NASA and Motorola. But First's organizers have suddenly found First overshadowed on the pop culture landscape by the television show "BattleBots," which pits two robot warriors against each other in a duel and by the similarly combative high school robotics tournament that the show's creators started up last year with the help of some First veterans and a protégé of Dr. Flowers at M.I.T. part 1 |
part 2
Both First and BattleBots IQ, the high school and middle school tournament based on the television show, promote robot-building as an educational and enriching team-building experience. But while First's founders design games that require robots to perform tasks like scooping up balls and pushing wheeled bins, the goal in BattleBots is to pound one's opponent into inoperability. "It's what kids want to do," said Trey Roski, a co-founder of BattleBots. "They want to fight. It's instinctual." For Dr. Flowers, that premise is troubling. "Philosophically, I worry about celebrating killing the other thing," he said. He coined the term "gracious professionalism" to inculcate in First participants a sense of the importance not just of winning but of helping other teams along the way too. The two robotic-battle organizers seem to be girding for a rumble of their own for the loyalty of high school students and teachers, as BattleBots IQ outlines plans to grow from 17 schools in its inaugural season to 50 next year and wraps up a deal with the WB Network to create a television show featuring the students' robots. First also hopes to keep expanding, with a goal of eventually reaching every high school in the nation. The plan involves a simpler kit that would enable first-year teams to build a competitive robot in less time, and a made-for-TV movie about the program that would be broadcast on ABC's "Wonderful World of Disney." The movie will star Noah Wylie of "E.R." as a teacher who supervises a First team at an inner-city school in California. At the First regional competition at the New Haven Coliseum, the crowd's energy level rivaled that of a homecoming football game. But to the uninitiated, what transpired on the field was as opaque as a livestock auction. The cooperative aspect started with the pairings: in each match, two schools were assigned to combine forces on either side. The pairs of robots, the red team and the blue team, began the two-minute match in opposite end zones. Operated by students from behind a clear plastic barrier, the robots scurried toward three rolling bins in the center of the field and tried to fill the bins with soccer balls lined up on either edge of the field. Then they would try to drag the bins into designated "scoring zones" and return to the end zone. Points were awarded to the team that put the most balls into the bins, pushed the most bins into their scoring zones and returned the most robots to their end zone. The catch was that when the match was over, the winning team was awarded three times the points that the losing team had scored. This was to discourage blowouts, and it was not unusual to see a team that had pulled far ahead helping score points for the opponent. Loud pop music surged over the Coliseum's public-address system. Students had painted their faces and dyed their hair in their team colors, and they handed out buttons promoting their robots. Dr. Flowers, who served as the competition's master of ceremonies, wore a small ponytail and a khaki vest festooned with buttons given to him by students. A large video screen and a play-by-play announcer kept the audience informed on what was happening in each match. When fumes from Robot No. 293 indicated distress, the announcer exclaimed, "They're smoking and this is a no-smoking venue!" Before and after a match the students would huddle around their robots in the pit area, trying to figure out why balls were getting stuck or why their robot had failed to respond to commands. At a previous event, "our belts got stretched out and the tower got jammed," said Synthia Lux Tonn, the driver on the Middletown High team. "But it seems to be working better this weekend." Ms. Tonn, a senior, said that building robots was "more interesting than problem sets, because it's applying what you know." She plans to attend M.I.T. in the fall. |

Taking part in one regional competition and the national championships costs roughly $9,000, though it is not unusual for teams to spend $30,000 or more over the course of a single season when travel costs are included. Some teams find a sponsor with deep pockets to cover most of their costs, but the Middletown team was not that lucky, so the students held bake sales, a spaghetti dinner and a car wash to raise money. Ms. Tonn said that robotics was still regarded as a fringe activity rather than as a mainstream sport at Middletown High. The team's trophies are not displayed in the school's trophy case. "Kids at my school couldn't care less," she said. "We're mocked. We're definitely mocked." Match time was approaching. The team loaded the Rhode Warrior onto a dolly and pushed it through the crowded aisles of the pit area, crying out, "Robot coming through!" Middletown was paired with a team from New Hampshire. Ms. Tonn drove the robot with a sure touch; it swiftly sucked up a line of soccer balls from one side of the field, effortlessly deposited them into a bin, and pulled the bin into scoring position. Middletown and its partner won, 49-40. The action on the playing field was strikingly different at the BattleBots IQ tournament, held for the first time in March in a cavernous soundstage at Universal Studios in Orlando. In the center of the soundstage, framed on three sides by bleachers, was a large plexiglass cube in which the matches took place. Saws popping up from the floor and heavy hammers hanging at the corners of the cube were controlled by students trying to damage the opposing team's robots. But the pit area was similar to those of First competitions: teams freely shared tools, spare parts and advice. Among those who helped start the BattleBots IQ program are Nola Garcia, who still runs a Miami-based First team, and Michael Bastoni, a teacher from Plymouth North High School in Massachusetts who formerly took part in First and now fields teams for BattleBots IQ. Alex Slocum, an M.I.T. professor who studied under Dr. Flowers and works down the hall from him, helped write the robot-building guidelines. In one confrontation, a robot built by students from Hauppauge High School on Long Island got caught under one of the hammers and endured a series of nasty whacks, one of which immobilized it, ending the match. Afterward, a man swept the metal shavings from the ring, and team members in blue coveralls and hard hats carried their robot into the pit area, where they analyzed what had happened. After removing its dented skin, they discovered the problem: a disconnected battery. Some teams, like the one from Hauppauge, competed this year in both First and BattleBots IQ. Others at the BattleBots tournament were new to robotics competitions altogether, like the four schools from the Pueblo School District in Colorado, one of which fielded Tetanus, a menacing robot with a rusty blade that spun at 1500 rpm. A few schools had shifted from First to BattleBots IQ, citing the lower cost of taking part (a registration fee of $100 per team, plus whatever the team decides to spend on robot materials), the simpler game rules and the possibility of winding up on television or even having their robot transformed into a toy. (BattleBots has a licensing deal with Hasbro and says it will share toy and television royalties with schools that take part. First emphasizes the $1.2 million in scholarships that it will hand out this season.) Can the two programs co-exist peacefully, bringing robotics competitions to a larger number of schools? Dr. Flowers said that he believed that the educational merits of participating in First and in BattleBots IQ could "be quite equivalent" but that he worried about the safety issues raised by BattleBots. "If I were a principal, would I want students building something overtly dangerous?" he said. "It just scares me. And I'd be disappointed if it turns out that we need destruction for something to be interesting." Mr. Bastoni said that the BattleBots IQ program enforced rigorous safety rules. "There is room for diversity," he said, noting that the Olympic Games include aggressive sports like boxing and hockey along with diving and figure skating. |
part 4
Still, sniping between the two groups occasionally flares up. Mr. Roski of BattleBots has said that engineers, not students, do too much of the work on First robots; Mr. Kamen has argued that civilization does not advance by one group's demolishing the achievements of another, but rather by building something superior. Odd as it may seem, the initial peace overtures seem to be coming from the organizers of Battlebots IQ. "Kids love First and they love BattleBots," Ms. Garcia said. "They're two different engineering exercises. If I like chocolate ice cream, I can like vanilla, too." I remember your Team from NYC Regional. Oh, and some great picture of your teammates too. Your guys are National and International! |

Keefe's time yet to come
SACRAMENTO - NCAA basketball's Year Of The Freshman has not featured James Keefe.
What happens next depends on the Summer Of The Sophomore.
Keefe went to UCLA last fall and, in not too many practices, realized he wasn't in Santa Margarita anymore.
He was practicing against Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Alfred Aboya and Lorenzo Mata. Soon he was butting against their brick wall. As he kept falling off, so did his playing time.
Keefe has played a total of 20 minutes in his past seven games, and he hasn't scored since he drilled a three-pointer Jan. 20, at home against Arizona.
"It's been a season of ups and downs," Keefe said. "It's been different from what I had experienced, but now I know what I have to do to become the player I know I can become."
There was little wrong with the player Keefe was.
At Santa Margarita he averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds and was the essential recruit in his UCLA class. Some felt the 6-foot-8, 220-pound Keefe would move Mbah a Moute back to the "3" position, but then Josh Shipp came back to claim that, and Mbah a Moute showed he wasn't going anywhere.
With practice so hard and with games so empty, Keefe's confidence naturally dwindled. Especially when Ben Howland never beckoned Keefe in the Pac-10 Tournament loss to Cal, even though Aboya was largely playing one-legged.
"Obviously I'm accustomed to playing the whole game," Keefe said. "When you don't get much of an opportunity to play sustained minutes, it's difficult to get anything established. That's about it. It is what it is."
This becomes an issue in this NCAA Tournament - maybe even today against 15th-seeded Weber State - because the Bruins' bench is looking more like a hammock.
Cal's reserves outscored UCLA's, 17-6.
In the game before, Washington beat the UCLA bench, 23-6, and the Huskies won, 61-51.
Michael Roll is 0-for-March at the moment, with no goals since Feb.24 (Teemu Selanne has five in the same span).
Russell Westbrook, the backup point for Darren Collison, has two baskets in his past three games and has played only 14 minutes.
Against Washington, Keefe played 10 minutes and Ryan Wright one, in relief of the big guys. Neither got a rebound. Neither played, next game.
So the optimal result today for UCLA would be enough garbage time to let the subs frolic, and to let Collison relax his iffy ankle.
Regardless, Keefe's prime time will be this summer, when he hopes to hammer his body into Pac-10 specifications.
"The coaches came up to me a few weeks ago and told me to get the weight program going," he said. "I was going to do it this summer, but they said I might as well get a head start. I've been doing it for three weeks and it feels good to feel stronger out there, but I know it's just beginning.
"We'll set some strength goals for the summer and see if I can meet them. I'll stay on campus and play in a lot of the pickup games. It's going to be an important time for me. The competition is too tough to play consistently underneath with this body."
Minutes will not be bestowed on the basis of seniority and sweat. Mbah a Moute and Aboya and Mata have eligibility left, and everything will pretty much revolve around incoming freshman powerhouse Kevin Love.
But since Keefe has speed, the hope is that he'll be the tight end for some of Love's unerring outlet passes. Easy baskets would keep him on the floor. Bigger shoulders will make it harder for Howland to remove him.
"Coach thinks he's really going to be good," assistant coach Donny Daniels said. "And he's been very precise with him as far as telling him what he has to do defensively."
Precise is a nice euphemism.
"In high school we played man-to-man, and on a ball screen I might step out and show myself and then go catch up with the guy later," Keefe said. "Coach Howland expects you to do it a little more physically than that."
"James wasn't that type of player in high school," Daniels said. "When I would watch him, it's not like he was picking up guys and throwing them around.
"But it's not just about weights, and he knows that. It's about learning how to play defense, how to get tougher mentally, how to compete. It's not unusual for a freshman to go through that type of transition."
The rest of college has been fine. Keefe has gotten through his general studies courses and is embarking on economics classes on the way to a business degree. His dad has developed real estate in South County.
"My folks have gone to all of our road games," Keefe said. "Except West Virginia."
Such faith - and good judgment - will not go unrewarded.
First comes an uplifting summer.

Instead of going with an old nailhead for his classic-style hot rod, he decided on a mighty Lincoln V12. The siamesed exhaust ports on the passer by leads most to believe it's just another V8, but such is not the case. A V12 thumps in the heart of this beast and clever details abound. Cool parts: The elegant sweep of the exhaust pipes, the Mobile Pegasus, hand pin striping, and a torque tube mounted up with a multilink suspension modeled after lakes speedsters, a fuel indicator made by drilling a hole in the cap, welding a red-painted allen key to a pushrod stuck into a fuel float, hood ornament as shifter knob. The one detail we really like is the steering. Take a look at that head on image and think about what's missing. Take your time. Advertisement There's no drag link between the wheels. Woody didn't want extra parts hanging off the front. He wanted everything to be moving forward as much as possible, so he dug through history and discovered a Ford tractor steering box with two output shafts which counter rotate, for a push-pull effect, no drag link necessary. How cool is that?Reply59 repliesLeave a reply

In Brainstorm, psychologist Eric Maisel tells us "how to productively obsess." He defines productive obsessions as "precious human phenomena that allow for masterworks, great ideas, and the application of brain potential to everyday matters." A productive obsession, he writes, "is nothing but a passionately held idea that serves your meaning-making efforts." The book, co-authored with his wife, Ann Maisel, endorses productive obsessing as the road toward personal goal achievement and lifestyle satisfaction.
Clinically, obsessive thinking deals with irrational, unwanted, and intrusive thoughts, usually about worry and fear of catastrophic events. If a person also has debilitating compulsions associated with such thinking, we have obsessive-compulsive behavior or OCD. Maisel's thesis, it seems to me, is to turn OCD on its head--obsess about "good things" and behave accordingly. Thus, "scientific obsessions lead to miracle drugs, artistic obsessions lead to symphonies, humanitarian obsessions lead to freedom and justice." Much of the book encourages the reader through the metaphor of brainstorms, which Maisel describes as "full activation of your neuronal forces" and "light that illuminates the darkness and their fire that warms the human heart." About half-way into the book there is a "productive obsession checklist," followed by guidelines for reporting progress and tips for staying the course. Maisel even talks about forming productive obsession groups, something he does regularly in his practice and details in the book with verbatim testimonials from group members.
I was never really sold on Brainstorm, partly because of passages like this: "When, by contrast, you announce that you intend to productively obsess about the challenge at hand, your brain is alerted to the fact that you intend to operate differently. Your neurons stand at attention, and thinking commences." And too, the book rambles among psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, neuropsychiatry, and explanations of brain-behavior relationships that are loose and speculative. Certainly, Maisel cannot be faulted for advising people to devote themselves to their passions, cultivate goal-directed thinking, commit to behaving purposefully, and never compromising on what gives meaning to our lives. I also liked his reflections about "endurance," presented succinctly in a quote from Albert Einstein: "I know quite clearly that I myself have no special talent--curiosity, obsession, and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas." It just seems to me that the pragmatic basis of what Maisel is trying to get at could have been stated in less than 186 pages and without the soft neuroscience.

About the book: It is increasingly recognised that EU development cooperation policy has failed to meet its stated aims. In this book Arts and Dickson ask the obvious and important question: if the policy doesn't work, why bother with it?
The authors assess why EU development policy has become largely ineffective, citing among the external causal factors the liberalisation of trade, and the growing influence of US and international actors such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund upon EU policy. It also considers contributing factors within the EU such as the enlargement of its membership and the resulting shifts in priorities.
It is this analysis of internal and external factors affecting the decline of EU development policy that makes this study both innovative and unique. It brings together an impressive range of contributors from different disciplines resulting in a thorough and intelligent assessment of the debate.

No one knows that better than John Rutherford. He has created a successful business out of using technology to carry out this chore for scores of large companies. Now he is offering the same service to smaller firms via the internet.
The service, http://www. staffpay.net, was born out of the realisation that tax calculations and the like can appear highly technical and daunting to young and start-up companies. As a result, they are often left to the last minute or delegated to harassed employees.
Mr Rutherford is the founder of Rutherford Webb, a Surrey-based firm that has spent the past 15 years devising increasingly sophisticated payroll software systems for businesses as diverse as Legoland and Hoverspeed. In developing the new venture, he acknowledged that small firms would not be able to afford such expensive packages. Through the internet, though, they could hire them.
For as little as a few pounds a month, a small firm with net access can have employees' tax, National Insurance contributions, statutory sick pay and maternity pay calculated with ease. It can also use the service to keep the records required by the Inland Revenue and to monitor compliance with the Working Time Directive and minimum wage legislation.
Mr Rutherford stresses that data is held on the company's own web-server, rather than the internet itself, and is protected by "fire walls" and a range of other security devices. Moreover, all information is encrypted when it is being sent backwards and forwards between Rutherford Webb and the client companies.
Mr Rutherford has a special offer running until the end of the year that allows a business to get started with a setting-up fee of pounds 50 and then just pay pounds 1 for each payslip processed. After that, the initial cost is likely to rise to about pounds 75, with the price per employee remaining about the same.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Zurich, Switzerland, 2013/08/14 - 500 MW HVDC Light interconnection between Ireland and the UK enables leveraging of wind energy and facilitates power flows between the two countries - ABB.com. NYSE: ABB
ABB, the leading power and automation technology group has delivered the East West Interconnector to EirGrid, the Irish transmission system operator. The 500-megawatt (MW) transmission connection is the highest capacity link of its kind, based on voltage source converter (VSC) technology, to go into commercial operation. The interconnector establishes an important link between the Irish and U.K. grids, enabling cross-border power flows and enhancing grid reliability and security of electricity supplies. The new link also facilitates power trading between the two countries and connects Ireland to the European grid. As Ireland expands its wind power capacity, it can export surplus electricity to the UK, and can import power when required. A 262 km cable system connects Woodland in County Meath, Ireland and Deeside in north Wales. The cables are equipped with extruded polymeric insulation that provides strength and flexibility to endure the severe conditions of the Irish Sea. HVDC Lights black start capability can help restore power quickly in the event of an outage, without the aid of external energy sources. This is yet another example of the growing role of HVDC transmission technology when enabling key emerging trends like integration of renewables and interconnections said Brice Koch, head of ABBs Power Systems business. ABB remains a market leader in this field and we shall continue to push the boundaries of HVDC technology, building on our past legacy. ABB pioneered HVDC technology nearly 60 years ago and has been awarded around 90 HVDC projects representing a total installed capacity of more than 95,000 megawatts (MW) accounting for about half the global installed base. ABB remains at the forefront of HVDC innovation and is uniquely positioned in the industry with in-house manufacturing capability for power semiconductors, converters and high voltage cables, the key components of HVDC systems. HVDC Light is an evolution of HVDC technology that helps address the needs of long distance underground and subsea transmission. It is increasingly being deployed across a range of applications including integration of renewable energies from land-based and offshore wind farms, mainland power supply to islands and offshore oil and gas platforms, city center in-feeds where space is a major constraint, and interconnections, often across the seas. ABB leads the way in this space, and has delivered 13 of the 14 commissioned HVDC links based on VSC technology. ABB (abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 145,000 people.

No one wants to anticipate problems — loss or damage — during a move. However, even the best planned and executed move may encounter difficulties. It is important that you fully understand your mover's liability in the event that any of your goods are lost or damaged during your move.
A mover's liability is governed by the valuation statement on the Bill of Lading, which is the contract for the move. There are three basic types of liability coverage:
Limited Liability
This represents the minimum coverage required by law at $.30 per pound, per article. If an item is lost or damaged during your move, you would receive a payment at the rate of $.30 per pound per damaged article. This kind of basic coverage is designed to cover the mover's basic liability but does not provide you with substantial protection.
Added Valuation
In the event of loss or damage, this kind of coverage would assure payment based on the depreciated value of the item. The cost for this type of coverage is $5 for every $1,000 of valuation placed upon the items included in your move. This more realistic approach to valuation places more of the financial responsibility on the mover. For any questions please call one of our Moving Consultants at 800-266-8387
Insurance Policy
If you are moving antiques or high-end furnishings, you may wish to consider purchasing a separate insurance policy to provide you with more substantial coverage. You may first wish to check your Homeowners Insurance Policy to see if your property is covered in transit. Your insurance carrier can provide you with more details about this option. We would recommend additional insurance coverage with our preferred vendor, movinginsurance.com.
Moishe's Local Moving Insurance NYC
Whether you are moving down the street or changing zip codes, local moves can require the help of a professional moving company. Moving can be stressful, so it's best to start planning well ahead of your move. Six weeks is the recommended time to plan a local move.
Research at least three local moving companies to get the best quote. Read customer reviews and be sure to check the company's ratings with the American Moving and Storage Association and the Better Business Bureau.

Here are the two moments in my life where the two little one's who call me Momma entered the world!!
This was taken the day before Logan was born...I went into labor late that night.
Shortly after he was born....
One week before Lucas was born (I was scheduled to be induced, but went into labor on my own the night before!!)...
Shortly after he was born....

Oh it's good to see your face! You looked so BEAUTIFUL pregnant! I love pregnancy photos! You're so luck you went into labor on your own. Induction sucks! :D I pray I don't have to go through induction again with the next baby(ies).

The x64 version is with SSE4.1 or SSE4.2?
