I have a table stand to suit the Beovision AVANT 75'' or 85'' available for sale. It is the unit available from STB Brackets.

Photos available on request. I can arrange international shipping.
700 GBP or best offer.

Naturally, our personality goes into our decision making when it comes to how we present ourselves but the face and the eyebrows we show to the world speak a lot about us.
Whereas many people just let their eyebrows grow, many more shape, pluck and sculpt it to look exactly how they want.
Now let's see what your eyebrows are actually telling the world about you. The answers can be quite surprising!
The Regular Arched
These aren't too thick and aren't too thin, aren't too high and aren't too low. They aren't too straight and aren't too arched. They are just right.
You like things to be a little more traditional and straightforward. You prefer to keep things on a less dramatic and complicated side.
You are easy to work with and easy to be around because of your focus on basics and drama-free approach in life.
The Natural Straight
They form a much straighter line and quite similar to the regular arched brows. Without too much sculpting going into them, they look naturally.
Being a straightforward person, you are not afraid to be honest. Meaning you are willing to tell someone the truth when they really need to hear it. Straight brows also indicate that what you see is what you get. It also makes you appear more trustworthy because it gives your eyes a "kinder" quality. These results to an immense trust and love by your family and friends
The Straight Up
This lacks any curve at all and head on an upward diagonal line from directly above the inside of the eye.
This brow makes a serious first impression on other people since it would tell the world that you're not someone to mess with. Having a kind side, the brows show that you definitely mean business and you are no-nonsense. You know how to get things done and know what you want.
The Short Brow
This is quite small and has been trimmed. They are much shorter than the average brow. They may appear at any point of your eyes.
These eyebrows show that you are an extremely detail-oriented person. You have the tenacity for love, life, and work that is greatly admired by others around you. Though your focus on the minute things in life can sometimes leave you missing the bigger picture, your attention to detail makes you a model employee.
The Thin Brow
This has been plucked until it forms a small thin line.
These brows show the world just how delicate you are. Whether this is true or not, you prefer not to be drawn to conflict by avoiding it whenever possible. You like it better to put an innocent face. The world with a kinder side of humanity is what you always wanted to show.
You prefer to smile and take on the role of listener at any get-together
The Thick Brow
These eyebrows have been grown in, quite bushy and have been given free rein to grow as they please.
This indicates that you don't mind things "au naturale." You find beauty and appreciation in things, nature and all things natural. You have a free spirit and being less concerned with what others perceive you. You live life to the fullest and is always happy.
You turn to be an incredible person to spend time with because of your appreciation for natural beauty and your ability to find beauty everywhere.
The Unibrow
This occurs when both eyebrows grow together without a break between them. This brow is often not shaped or plucked.
Unibrow indicates a true sign of individuality. You aren't overly concerned with the way others look at you just like those with thick brow. You have a vivid imagination and creative mind making you a unique and one-of-a-kind. You use your creativity in daydreaming and allow your mind to run free.
You're a fascinating and fun person to be with because of your love of all things fantasy.
The Large Gap
This look has the two eyebrows quite far apart, either on purpose or as an outcome of overzealous eyebrow maintenance.
The large gap, especially those results from too much plucking or pruning, generally indicates that you are a bit of a worrier. You might be easily getting caught up in things. Compared to others, your anxiety levels tend to be higher. Because of care, you worry too much. One of your best qualities is you're a loving person.
You are a friend who is both caring and invested.
The Pointed Brow
This is a thinner brow that actually comes to a point before heading back down. It's similar to arched eyebrows, but without being quite as rounded.
These pointed brows indicate that you are in control. Just like some people who put on a power suit, you are putting on the power brow. These brows show that you are quite comfortable taking charge meaning you are a natural-born leader. Your professional goals are superior. When it comes to relationships, you prefer to be the dominant one.
You are capable of inspiring your subordinates though, you are sometimes capable of striking fear into them.
The High Arch
It's quite rounded and quite high on your face. It's most noticeable because of their height.
High arches show you have a talent for theatrics and making a large statement is what you love. They are about getting noticed. Meaning, you enjoy being the performer or the center of attraction. People flock to you just to hear your funny jokes and stories. You always enjoy every minute of being looked up.

8 mistakes in weight loss work-out
Work-out is a safe way to lose weight. Being hurry to have a good shape; however, many people are easy to make those following mistakes.
Wrong warm-up
It's very boring when you only sit on the carpet and do ineffective warm-up. Walking and skipping rope is your solution. You can do free style exercise for 5 minutes. Accelerating level until you feel it's enough or hard. This warm-up style is better because it can increase heart rate and avoid unnecessary exhausted.
Skipping breakfast
Some people have a habit of doing exercise right after wake-up. Having a little food help you feel better and therefore you are not hungry in work-out. It can extend work-out time and improve your strength. Therefore, don't let your stomach be empty in workouts.
Seriously upping your fiber intake
Too much fiber can increase operation of stomach and intestine. Please remember that too much fiber can lead to flatulency and harm your weight loss work-out.
Lack of water
Food is necessary for all day . However you are not allowed to drink too much water in work-out time because it is a cause of cough during your exercise process.
Boring work-out plan
If you don't make a sustainable decision in following a type of sport, you will be easy to give up due to boring. Even if you don't want to join a big group, you can team up with friends or relatives and go at your weight-loss goals together.
Never think about your weight
You may be advised to avoid anxiety and weight loss obsession. You should understand your actual weight before your work-out, you could speed your weight loss up in the process nevertheless. According to recent study, people who always consider themselves will have better weight loss than others. And it is necessary for you to choose the best healthy foods for yourselves.
"Rushing†exercise
If you are free of work-out on week days and do extremely exercise in weekend to compensate your workout- free days, your goals will be never achieved. Moreover, you will feel serious tired and may have injuries after 2 hard workout days
"Loosen your belt†after exercise
It's right for refueling after tired workouts because your body requires protein and carb after 1 hour of exercise. However, it is a "double-edged sword" if you cannot control this habit. According to recent study, people tend to overestimate calories burned during exercise. The easy tip is to review carefully food stamps to be sure calories level is lower than 150.
If you want to lose weight by work-out, you should remember those mistakes. We wish you a successful weight loss journey!

One of the MOST important aspects of being in any field is setting business goals. Without goals, you are floating along and at the mercy of whatever rogue wave may veer your boat out to sea.
Setting Business Goals: SMART System
I am a huge, huge fan of the SMART system of goal-setting. If you're unfamiliar with the acronym, it stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. All of these are important elements of setting your business goals.
The goal needs to be as specific as you can make it. An example of a non-specific goal is "I'd like to make more money." That's a great goal, but how much money? 10 cents? $5,000? A better goal would be "I'd like to make an additional $10,000 next year over what I made this year." Now you will have a better understanding of when you've actually reached this goal.
You've got to be able to measure the achievement of your goal. You can start to see how these tie together easily in the money example above. "I'd like to be successful" again is a great goal, but how do you measure success? "I'd like to promote to director" is a better way to measure achievement when setting business goals.
This one should be fairly straightforward. Look at your goal and decide if it's achievable. "I"d like to get 50 new recruits by tomorrow" isn't necessarily realistic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with aiming high (if you did set your goal at 50 and got 5, that's still something), but there's no reason to set it so high that you will get yourself discouraged before you even begin.
When setting business goals, you need to decide what's important to you. For a hobbyist, it may not be important to grow your team. For someone who wants a lot of people under them, it may not be as important to do 5 parties a week personally. Think about how you see yourself in a perfect world in 6 months, a year, and longer to see what your priorities are.
This one is the kicker. You've got to give yourself a deadline when setting your business goals. Otherwise they become these abstract ideas floating through space that you might get to one of these days. Set long-term and short-term goals. A great technique is to work backwards. In the example above of wanting to increase your sales $10,000 over last year, divide that over 12 months. That's $833.33 a month. How many more parties do you need to do each month to make up that amount (or how many pieces of clothing, tubes of lipstick, what have you). Now you've broken it into smaller chunks and have a more reasonable goal. You can do the same for promoting, growing your team, and more.
Put pen to paper, or fingers to keys, when setting business goals.
YOU'VE GOT TO WRITE IT DOWN. Yes, shouty capitals. It's that important. Whether you do it in your own handwriting or type it in your computer or tablet, writing them down cements it in your brain. Now it's real. That doesn't mean it's set in stone, or that you can't adjust them, but you are starting to hold yourself accountable. People who write down their goals are exponentially more likely to achieve them.

Friendship Bread Givers: You Ain't No Friends of Mine
On Joe Jackson's debut album, he scoffs at couples who make finding love look easy, because he knows it to be a painful, confidence-shattering process. He sings over and over at the song's end, "You ain't no friends of mine." I'd like to borrow this sentiment and extend the ridicule to all those who gleefully hand out practically empty Ziplock bags to friends and say in a sweet and giving voice, "Here's a homemaking kit of Amish friendship bread!" They say it as if they're the kindest, most warm-hearted individuals on the planet, but the truth is out and it's beginning to spread: these are actually mean-spirited people who exult in the false hopes and misfortunes of others.
I recently had the honor of receiving the "Friendship Treatment" from Jan, who en route to her yoga class had stopped by to offer me a bag filled with a thick, beige liquid along with a printout of instructions. "It's a ten-day process, and we're already on day four, so enjoy!" she said, practically skipping back to her van, certain that she'd helped to spread a little sunshine in my dim world, and I admit that initially I was flattered: someone had made bread for me! How thoughtful. How quaint. Sure, I bake my own bread every Friday, but this was from a friend (or so I thought) and it involved a process invented by Amish people whose women all like Kelly McGillis and who want nothing but peace, love and understanding. What could be wrong with that?
For those who haven't been indoctrinated into the world of Amish friendship bread, let me explain: the process is basically a pyramid scheme without the financial liabilities. You start with a few ingredients and mix them in a Ziplock bag. For the next ten days, you squeeze the bag once a day and add a few ingredients on day six. Along the way, the concoction ferments and the bag expands. It's kind of a cool process, provoking the same scientific fascination one might get from brewing beer at home.
On day ten, you add more ingredients and divide the mix into four different containers. One of these will result in two loaves of bread for yourself. The other three are to be distributed to three friends who will repeat the process, and so on, until every man, woman and child on a planet of six billion has prepared, baked and eaten two yummy loaves of bread. I have no idea why this process is considered Amish, except that it doesn't entail any refrigeration or mechanical devices (but what bread-baking process does, unless you've continued to use the bread machine you received as a wedding gift back in the 90s?).
So fine, the whole idea is nice, and my children enjoyed squeezing the bag each day, and I had no trouble adding milk, flour and sugar on day six. So far so good. It wasn't until day ten that I realized just what a scam this bread-making business is. I learned that none of the previous nine days had been necessary at all, because I now had to empty practically every bag, box and bottle in my cupboard to finish the process.
Here is the list of ingredients I needed to add on day ten:
MORE sugar
Baking powder
MORE flour
MORE milk
Baking soda
Instant vanilla pudding mix
I'm serious. Someone had handed me a Ziplock bag and all I needed to do to bake two loaves of bread was add enough ingredients to feed the entire Amish population nationwide. I'd basically fallen for the Amish version of the story, "Stone Soup," in which a man tricks a community to cook a big vat of soup by asking each citizen to add his or her own ingredient, except I happened to be a community of one in this version of the story. I have half a mind to give my friend a Ziplock bag filled with water and say, "Here's a bag of Amish Friendship Soup. Enjoy!"
So please, no offense to the Amish, or the idea of friendship or the makers of Jello-brand instant vanilla pudding, but I'll pass on this charming and sadistic tradition in the future. You want to be a friend? Bring a six-pack of Guinness over sometime, and if you really must include something baked, offer me your thoughts on achieving world peace.

Meeting Women is Difficult for Most Men, but This Simple Guide Can Make Thing Much Easier
Are you a lonely single guy who is in need of some love and affection? Are yo u tired of failing every time you want to talk to a beautiful woman? If "yes" is your answer, then this article is dedicated to you.
Since the beginning of time, men in general have always had a problem approaching women. It's almost like we see them as supreme and divine beings who are better than us. Women are people just like you and I, meaning they are mortals who also have a hard time approaching men,
Before you approach a woman, make sure you are clean and tidy. Many women tend to hang out by themselves at locations such as Starbucks or the public library because they are hoping a guy will come up to them and talk.
One thing you must do when thinking about approaching a woman is what surroundings are near her. You must take into account every factor in her setting because these will make great conversational pieces.
When engaging in conversation, it is important that you smile often and make eye contact. The smile tells the woman that you are friendly and the eye contact tells her that you are listening and attentive to what she says.
Being a good listener is important because you need to be able to comment on what she says to keep the conversation moving. When asking a question, make sure you ask an open ended question which requires her answer to be an explanation.
Yes or no answers can kill the conversation and leave things awkward between both of you. It is advised that you approach a woman when she is by herself because when friends are with her, it makes things harder on both you and her.
Confidence is the key to getting the girl. No matter who you are, you can ask any woman on a date as long as you have confidence. She is probably just as nervous as you are, so show her that you are well spoken. It's not what you do, it's how you do it.
If she is impressed and entertained by you, the you have sealed the deal. Ask her for her phone number and tell her you enjoyed talking with her.
A date can eventually be arranged between the two of you, but the most important tip about being with a woman is to be yourself so that she likes you for who you are.
How to Approach Women Easily: The Top 3 Things to Do
Imagine this scenario: You are at a library and you spot a beautiful woman. She is gorgeous and approaching her is a must. However, something is stopping you.
That's right, you are nervous! And that is normal unless you have the confidence or looks of Brad Pitt. If you are reading this then you probably need a few tips in order to make it easier for you to approach women. There are three things you can already do to help your case. These are: Dressing well, grooming, and eliminating your nervousness.
Step 1: Dressing Well
The most important thing we want to achieve is boosting your confidence. And in order to do that, you must dress well. Dressing well will allow you to feel and look good.
If you do not feel good and comfortable in your own skin then no other women will either. Women like a confident guy. So first you need to look into your closet and assess the situation.
Remember you must be a tough critique on yourself. You do not need to dress like Cristiano Ronaldo in order to impress, although that would help a lot, but a clean look can go a long way.
Take out any boring t-shirts and old pants. If it is needed, you might need to take a trip to the mall. However, you should go for a casual and fresh look. Do not over-do it. You have to dress appropriately for every occasion; you are not going to dress in a tuxedo if you're going grocery shopping.
The key is to pick an outfit that will display an energetic feel but yet a comfortable look. For instance, you could start with a casual white t-shirt with a cool black design, some dark blue jeans, and some white Vans sneakers; you will notice that the t-shirt and shoes are matching. That is a simple trick you can use with any colors you like. Now onto the second step.
Step 2: Grooming
This is another crucial step. You want to achieve a fresh look by grooming every single day. It will also boost your confidence as you are always looking your best.
Once again you must look in the mirror and assess the situation. Ask yourself: What is needed? What will help me? Depending on your needs, you might want to come up with a new hairstyle.
You should also keep excellent hygiene. This means showering and brushing your teeth prior to leaving the house, using a deodorant, using cologne (a little amount), and making sure your clothes do not smell. By doing this you increase your odds greatly for a women to find you attractive.
Step 3: Eliminating Nervousness
This is one of the most important and final step. You have accomplished a great look for yourself so far so what is there to be nervous about? After all, women are humans just like you. What we don't realize is that most, if not all women, are just as nervous as we are.
The mindset when approaching a woman is that she must impress you as much as you should impress her. Desperation is your biggest downfall; if she is not into you then just let it go, do not beg and do not persist. Most importantly, do NOT hesitate prior to approaching her.
Forget thinking about what you should and should not say; this will only add unnecessary pressure. The key is to be yourself and if she does not like you then oh well – It's her loss.
And there you have it! With these three simple steps you can achieve a great look and eliminate your nervousness which will help greatly in your success to approaching women. So what are you waiting for? Go out there and make a difference for yourself. Good luck (You won't need it) and have fun!

Yet another adventures around the US. Already a second trip this year and this time we made it to the east for once as well! It was my first time in this huge concrete jungle called New York, the place I only knew from the Sex & The City and movies like Begin Again, Home Alone II, Breakfast at Tiffany's, One Fine Day, Serendipity, You've Got Mail and others. I'm a shy introvert who likes calm places and prefers nature over cities. So you can imagine my first impressions of New York - it felt chaotic, intimidating, stressful, noisy…my head was full of this and I was just screaming inside and wanted to hide somewhere calm and quite!
After a while it got better and I started to enjoy more of it! We stayed in a nice area in Brooklyn. It was a nice fall weather with a little sunshine, yellow leaves everywhere & on our first day, me and Lukas, still jet lagged, headed to a place from my list to have breakfast. I was really happy about gluten free & healthy options almost everywhere! My new iPhone 8 was getting more and more full with photos of industrial brick buildings, skyscrapers and yellow taxi cabs. I'll never forget that beautiful sunset above Manhattan we were watching from the Brooklyn Bridge Park. And I'm sure my wallet will never forget all the wandering around Williamsburg.
Places I highly recommend:
The Butcher's Daughter, Artists & Fleas, Dr Smood, Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Mast Brothers, thrift stores, Top of the Rock
Overall, New York City left mixed feelings inside me. I'm really glad I could see the city actually. But I think I'll stay near trees and mountains for a while. Our next stop is west coast again. So expect more posts very soon!

Punjab: A recent complaint filed by Narinder Bansal (the complaint) has led to a probable arrest of two persons in a case of duping a person for admissions (of his two sons) in a medical college in MP.
Police is reported to have booked these two persons for duping a Rampura Phul in lieu of an admission at RD Gardi medical college in Ujjain, MP. Tribune reported that in his complaint, Narinder Bansal stated that the accused Gurpreet Singh of Namdev Nagar and Rajneesh Kumar of Guru Gobind Singh Nagar, Bathinda, assured admission for his two children in MBBS course in lieu of Rs 10 lakh.
However, no further action has yet been taken by the police yet. No arrest has been made so far. The accused has been booked and a detailed enquiry into the matter is now pending, to be conducted by senior police officials.
The two people alleged in this case duped the father (of two sons) with a false promise of admission of both his sons in the said medical college. The amount was hefty, leading the father to pay a total sum of Rs 10 lakh. It is reported that they exchanged hands for money at Sai Institute, situated on Namdev Road in Bathinda.
Investigating Officer (IO) Nirmal Singh said a case was registered against the duo at the Civil Lines police station under Section 420 of the IPC.

Not Cute Anymore./
Well, that isn't true. Cathy, Miracle, Dan, and Rachel are still breaking hearts with their chubby cheeks and dance moves. But RUHU has moved from being an organization in its infancy into its blossoming, yet challenging adolescence. On our first trips to RUHU, our days were spent spinning kids in circles. We taught them how to say pineapple and explained why we had never met Obama. But this trip, five years later, was different.
On this trip, I helped Francis write an essay about the affects of drug abuse. I spent two days with Hassifah at a hospital for the headaches that adolescence has brought for her. I held her helplessly as she cried with frustration over fear that the medication would not work. I got to observe Patrick and William explain to two young teenage girls that they need to go to school. The girls wanted to go to a different school, further away and more expensive. Someone even offered to help pay, but Patrick explained, "thank you, but this time they need to just learn that you have to do some things that are difficult. They will find a complaint wherever we agree to send them." 19 year old Patrick didn't have that answer in him. This Patrick, 25 now, has the vision and maturity needed to give the difficult but right answer.
The kids in high school will soon be taking their national exams. Students who score well enough will go on to two additional years of high school before applying to university. They are growing up and they are asking the same questions I asked as a teenager. On our visits to the high school, where 15 of the RUHU kids attend, Patrick and William sifted through several requests for spending money. "Teenagers can be so-so difficult, you know?" William told me. Patrick and William are no longer teenagers taking care of kids. They are father figures to kids ages 2 to 18, and their own growth matches that of the kids.
It has been five years since we started partnering with RUHU. It's odd to be thankful for teenage angst, but along with the angst comes discovery, growth, and a realization for these kids that genuine opportunities for a brighter future lay ahead.
I teared up a little as I watched the high school kids going off to their classes. Five years ago, that sight was a naive wistful dream. Today it's a reality. Who knows, maybe five years from now we will have students in universities around the world.
A man can dream, right?

Creating Jesus 19: A complementary soteriology/
The rest of the Jerusalem paradigm survives intact. He still dies and is exalted to heaven where he is (re)-installed. As this great angel YHWH he will be revealed in the heavens, descending with a cry of command, the archangel's call. He will usher in God's kingdom after he destroys its enemies. He will sit in judgment. This tradition is carried on as late as the testimony of the Ebionites who taught that Christ was created like one of the archangels and was appointed by God to rule over the future age (Epiph., Pan. 30.16.2-4). This is also evidence that some of the Jerusalem sources were aware of this tradition, although it is impossible for me to tell if they picked it up after the paradigm was developed in Antioch, or were responsible for creating it in the first place and passing it on to Antioch.
What kind of soteriology is set into place when this christology is developed? Consider again the Jerusalem paradigm where Jesus' transformation into a glorified, divine being happened as the result of his righteous actions and piety, as a reward for upright behavior and obedience. It meant that anyone could imitate him and expect a similar reward - gradual transformation and eventual resurrection and divine body-status-immortality.
This soteriology could only work if Jesus was just like you and me. But what happened once he was an embodied angel from birth? A son of God from conception? Jesus didn't have to work for his divinity. He had already in the womb.
The road to salvation had no choice but to shift. It had to engage the power of the divine Jesus rather than the human Jesus. Redemption had to happen because of a divine action rather than a human action that could be imitated and repeated. This meant a fuller engagement with martyrological interpretations of Jesus' death which were already existing anyway. This is what Mark is about. So the efficacy of his death for sin atonement of sins of Israel was drawn out and universalized.
This doesn't mean that the behavioral soteriology from Jerusalem vanished or was replaced by the divine redemptive action. No. It survives and fuses with the sacrificial so that the sacrificial emerges dominant while the behavioral recedes into the background. It caused trouble though. Consider it. If a divine action redeemed the human being, then what was the benefit of good behavior? Paul has to face this trouble and he tries to explain it in Romans 12-13, where he says that good behavior is the outcome of a person's redemption and transformation, rather than the cause.
More on Paul in the next post in this very long series.

"Why did I end up writing children's books?"
This a question that has been asked to me on numerous occasions.
Besides the 10 reasons one should write children's books, my reason was totally different.
I never planned to write and publish (children's) books, and it's happening was as much of a surprise to me as it was to most of my friends.
My two passions have been photography and self-development. The first deemed as creative and the second, for me, discovering ourselves and our creativity.
The story of my first book, The Magic that's Ours, starts way back in 1997. I was invited to a friend's house for dinner. At the time she was a single mom with a 4-year-old daughter. My friend, before getting busy in the kitchen, put her daughter down in front of the TV to keep her entertained, and fair enough as we all lead busy lives.
I quickly noticed how zoned out the young girl became while watching cartoon network. It was if the world around her completely disappeared and it was just her and her TV in a bubble. I got into a conversation with my friend about the effects of too much TV on a child's imagination, and we both agreed that too much TV probably stunts the growth of the imagination. The reason I believe that too much TV stunts the growth of the imagination is because,
- It is an inactive exercise where information is fed to a mind that is in a very relaxed state.
- We use much less thinking watching TV than when reading. When we read a word we visualise or imagine how the described word would appear.
- Watching too much TV can replace the act of role playing etc.
So what I decided to do was to write a story. But I was going to make the story interactive. The idea for the story was that a parent/teacher etc could read a short section of the story and then leave the child doing one of the "Fun Time" activities – like draw a picture, make up a story, etc.
The story was to be about a brother and sister who meet their own imagination on their way to school and he explains to them about a gift we all possess.
Little did I know that this story would one day be of interest to a publisher…

Your essential guide to the festival highlights of 2018

One of the biggest misconceptions with PC hardware is when putting together a rig,you need to spend a notes ransom on a graphic card. Its true,the better and more expensive the graphic card, the better the performance. There are plenty of graphics cards on the market that you can purchased for under $500,you can even get graphic cards even cheaper and still run high level PC games at 1080p. There is something about the new GeForce GTX 960 graphic card that intriguing,for one its cheap at $200 and for two,it has some pretty awesome specs for a graphic card of this cheap price point.
The GTX 960 delivers high level gaming images at 1080p, GeForce claims the GTX 960 will deliver 60 frames per second on even some the demanding gaming titles,remember this is a $200 graphic card we're talking here.
If that doesn't blow you away,for $200 you get a graphic card (GTX 960) that has the new "GM206" GPU which uses a 28nm processor,it packs 1024 CUDA cores,16 streaming multiprocessors,32 ROP units,64 texture units. It draws it power from a single 6-pin connector.The GTX 960 uses the latest Maxwell technology which means the graphic card will run cool and efficient,it uses 120 watt TDP, not only is there cool and efficiency taking place with this piece of hardware,but it also runs very quiet under heavy intense overload.
The GTX 960 measures 9.5-inch in length which will take up dual slots in your PC case,so you'll need a PC case that is very roomy. It comes outputted with a dual-Link DVI port,a HDMI 2.0 port, and 3 DisplayPorts.
Now the skeptics would say 2GB of GDDR5 memory with a 128-bit bus would be considered to be a downgrade for ultimate intense gaming,especially now you're seeing graphic cards with 3-4GB with 512-bit bus,but what you expect for just $200.
Still though in test done with the GTX 960, as I mentioned earlier in this post,you can squeeze 60 fps which was tested on every single gaming title that uses intense graphics.
Building your first PC,why not purchase the GeForce GTX 960.

When you think about it, lots of superheroes could benefit from therapy. What demons is the Flash really trying to outrun? And Superman — clearly he's working through unresolved abandonment issues. (Maybe the true fortress of solitude is … his heart.)
"Legion," which begins on Wednesday on FX, presents a superhero drama as psychic journey, distinguishing itself in an overcrowded genre by setting its most compelling drama in its protagonist's mind. It's no ordinary comic-book show: it's a head trip, and it's spectacular.
From its opening montage, "Legion" drops you into the baroquely disoriented head space of David Haller (Dan Stevens), who may be insane or may be the world's most powerful telepath. (The term of art is "mutant," since "Legion" is based on a story from Marvel's X-Men franchise, though the more familiar characters from that universe are so far absent.)
All his young life, David has suffered hallucinations and heard voices, with an associated symptom: When he gets upset, things around him tend to explode. He's institutionalized and medicated, with his sister, Amy (Katie Aselton), his only contact with the outside world. His telekinetic outbursts, he's told, are all in his head.
And so are we. The pilot, directed by the show's creator, Noah Hawley ("Fargo"), plants us within David's unsettled point of view. Silent faces watch him from the shadows; his present is constantly interrupted by flashes of memory. It's a trippy tour de force, weaving seamlessly from apparition to (seeming) reality.
Flashbacks, fantasy and nonlinear narrative can be crutches, used to engage viewers by turning a story into a puzzle box. Here, the chaos is immersive: David doesn't know what's real, so we don't know what's real.
[Read a spoiler-filled recap of the premiere episode of "Legion."]
It makes for an opening episode that's stunning but that can be hard to follow. Roll with it: "Legion" unfolds its logic gradually. But it's grounded by its performances. Mr. Stevens, a long way from playing the genteel Matthew Crawley in "Downton Abbey," makes David a fidgety jitterbug with a self-protective sense of humor.
We catch up with David on his birthday, which he describes as "my 260th Thursday as a passenger on the cruise ship Mental Health." His shipmates include his best friend, Lenny, played by Aubrey Plaza with wild-eyed glee. He meets Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller), a new patient with an anxiety about being touched; they strike up a hands-off, "Pushing Daisies"-like romance.
Syd, like David, is special. How special, and why, and to whom are what drive the plot of "Legion." But its wit and constant inventiveness — a Bollywood-like dance number to Serge Gainsbourg's "Pauvre Lola" will be a TV highlight of the year — are what pull you in.
In "Fargo," Mr. Hawley took daunting source material and somehow made a work that was consistent with the original's tone but also its own thing, with its own voice. "Legion" is sharply written, but its visual panache is the big surprise.
The pilot has a groovy, 1960s-70s retro-futurist look. The colors are kaleidoscopic, the sets Op Art electric. "Legion" isn't a period piece — it seems to exist in a time of its own — but it looks a little as if Stanley Kubrick in 1968 were directing "The Prisoner" with 21st-century visual effects. The soundtrack is '60s-inflected ("Happy Jack," "She's a Rainbow"), and even Syd is named for the former Pink Floyd member whose breakdown was referred to on the album "Dark Side of the Moon."
This psychedelic aesthetic is fitting for a series whose story is a journey to the center of the mind. David is taken in by Melanie Bird (an imposing Jean Smart), a therapist who believes that he could be a powerful weapon in a "war" against the forces persecuting mutants. (In the X-Men tradition, a theme of "Legion" is that being different is both a strength and a threat.)
Finding out what David is requires delving into who he is. With the aid of the "memory artist" Ptonomy Wallace (Jeremie Harris), David, Melanie and Syd enter his subconscious, and "Legion" develops an idiosyncratic visual vocabulary for David's history and traumas.
There are a few displays of superpowers in the early going, but even these are dreamlike, their physics not quite of this earth. "Legion" is in no hurry to fast-forward to the action stuff, allowing space for the viewer to learn its rules and for characters to develop.
In fact, I found myself hoping that David never develops his abilities and becomes a full-fledged superhero, because it's so engrossing to watch his origin story. You will not always know what's real in "Legion," but the thrills are 100 percent genuine.

Google is planning to expand their Home Service Ads nationwide, following a launch in the Los Angeles area.
949Local reported on a conversation they had with an AdWords rep which confirmed the expansion into the Los Angeles and surrounding are as well as the expansion to nationwide by the end of 2017.
The expansion into LA not only covers Los Angeles city, but also Orange County and San Bernardino too. It will launch in those areas on January 31, 2017. The delay period is likely because it takes some time for the background checks to be conducted. Google is now reaching out to potential businesses about appearing in Home Services Ads in those areas.
Local Services Ads appear in the search results, but have quite a different appearance when compared to the local 3-pack and the regular AdWords ads. Here is what it looks like:
Right now, Google includes plumbers, home cleaners, locksmiths and handyman as the types of businesses it currently includes.
This isn't a surprise. We have seen Google slowly expand the coverage of their Home Services Ads both in locations and the types of businesses being shown. They also recently began testing Home Services Ads in the mobile search results. And they are constantly innovating with how Home Services Ads are displayed in the Google search results, most recently by adding Google Guaranteed to the results.
For those who are not interested in appearing in Home Services Ads, because they are a paid advertising product, Google can display both Home Services Ads and the local 3-pack within the same search results. But they do push both the local 3-pack and the organic results further down on the page.
Home Services Ads are invite only, but you can submit your interest to Google in this form.

Roughly a year and a half ago I successfully upgraded one of our cars stereos with a new Pioneer AVH-4200NEX head unit. The install was simple and the result was updating what was a mid 2000 era head unit with one which supported Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and hands free calling. All was well until this past week when Apple CarPlay quit working.
- USB Connection no longer charges devices
- Error displayed indicating USB connection is not supported and that the device will be disabled for protection purposes
- Error displayed "no response" when connecting the phone
My first step in troubleshooting this issue was to upgrade both the Pioneer head unit and iPhones to the latest firmware version.
Pioneer Head Unit: AVH-4200 NEX with firmware version 0.6
iPhone X with iOS Version: 11.4.1
The Fix
Upgrading the firmware versions did not resolve the issue but changed the error from "USB is not supported…" to "no response". Further investigation led to review of the discovered Apple CarPlay devices on each phone. Since we've both been traveling there were a number of rental cars which had registered with our phones. Clearing all of the registered devices including our head unit resolved the issue.
iPhone Steps (version 11.4.1):
Note: Disconnect your phone from your head unit before performing these steps.
- Open Settings -> General -> CarPlay
- Under MY CAR select each discovered CarPlay system and select "Forget This Car". The Pioneer unit will show up as "AV Receiver"
- Repeat removal for all entries which are listed
- Reconnect phone to head unit and accept prompts allowing the receiver to access your phone.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- The New York Stock Exchange on Thursday set new trading collars, which are limits on index arbitrage. As of October 1, 2004, the collars kick in when the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.14% moves 200 points away from its closing value on the previous day: in the case of a rise, index arbitrage sell orders will be limited to stabilizing activity, while a drop will result in a similar imposition on buy orders. The limitations lift when the index returns to within 100 points of the previous day's close.

Studio Under Construction !
5 comments:
Thanx, Kathy, for underlining those dates for me. I went looking for my harmony top and bottom today and could not find anywhere and then when I did and went to work on it, I made a terrible un or inharmonious unfixable mistake...but that is ok...because when one finds some sort of harmony, something always happens to disrupt it! hahahaReplyDelete
Hi Kathy, thanks for the info about yourself and the exciting news about your NEW studio. Sorry that the Texas weather has been so HOT since you've been here. Trust that it is not always like this, and that we DO actually have beautiful days. I'm looking forward to seeing your work and the brand new studio. Take a breath!ReplyDelete
Greetins, Kathy! As you may know, I have been acting the part of the dutiful granny since mid-August! Currently I am enjoying the lovely weather of Southern California. My co-granny and I are having great fun with the two children, ages 10 and 8. Grandma Marie has just taught us a fun paper craft that I recall making when I was a child. I'll probably post about that on my personal blog. But anyway, glad your work is coming along so well and I can't wait to see pictures and, eventually, the studio in person! Turquoise is my favorite color, too!ReplyDelete
Hi Kathy,ReplyDelete
How exciting that your new studio is near completion! I'm fortunate to have been able to renovate a space in my house a few years ago for my studio, something I had dreamed of doing for years. NOW I would love to
down-size my house, but create a bigger studio! Enjoy!
Your new studio sounds awesome. I don't know about central Texas but the Gulf Coast is always miserable in August. Usually it is a scorching hot steam bath. This summer it has been a horrible oven. I had not seen 108 before but did last month. We were excited when we had a temp of 94 as a break in the heat spell!
I have my harmony quilted but on my machine. I was really excited about the design as dealing with harmony on several levels. My soon to be 29 year old son looked at it and said "mom. why do you think this is harmony and not chaos!" See, I told y'all chaos is my natural state. I can hardly wait till Sept 15 - better get it off the machine and a letter done!

Pirates Hire Former Dodger Manager Tracy
Jim Tracy was named manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates today, just eight days after he parted ways with the Dodgers, who would not honor his request for a contract extension and a raise.
Tracy, who was selected over former Oakland Athletic manager Ken Macha and Atlanta Brave third base coach Fredi Gonzalez, had been the favorite to fill the Pittsburgh opening because of his friendship with Pirate General Manager Dave Littlefield. Both men worked in the Montreal Expo organization in the 1990s.
Tracy, 49, replaces Lloyd McClendon, who was fired Sept. 6 during his fifth consecutive losing season and replaced on an interim basis by bench coach Pete Mackanin. McClendon was hired after the 2000 season by edging out Tracy, who was a finalist.
Tracy instead was hired by the Dodgers to replace Davey Johnson and he posted four consecutive winning seasons, culminating in the 2004 National League West Division championship.
However, the bottom fell out this season. The Dodgers were 71-91, their second-worst record since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, and Tracy blamed the fall on the numerous off-season roster moves orchestrated by General Manager Paul DePodesta.
Tracy had one year remaining on a two-year Dodger contract that would have paid him a base salary of $700,000 with incentives worth another $200,000. He requested a two-year extension and a raise in a Sept. 8 meeting, and the Dodgers determined by season's end that they would not honor the request.
Today DePodesta will begin interviews with five candidates-Dodger triple-A manager Jerry Royster, recently fired Detroit Tiger manager Alan Trammell, San Francisco Giant bench coach Ron Wotus, Dodger farm director Terry Collins and Cleveland Indian minor league manager Torey Lovullo.
Tracy will take over a Pirate team with a significantly lower payroll than the Dodgers. The Pirates have had 13 consecutive losing seasons, three short of the major league record, and were 67-95 in 2005.
Tracy has not named his coaches, but former Dodger bench coach Jim Lett is expected to join the Pirate staff.

My Favourite Trend at the Moment
Since I started working full time, I have reduced the amount of time I spend on Facebook quite a bit. It could still be better, but it's already an improvement on what it's been before. However, while I may spend less time on Facebook, I have also personalised my news feed so that I see more of the things I'm interested in – and that's where Closet of Frills comes in.
I firmly believe that looking at how other people style their Lolita dresses is the best way to grow as a Lolita yourself. What the brands put out on their stock photos or runways can often be a bit traditional, to avoid using the word "safe". But Lolitas out there have unlimited fantasy and amazing sense of style, and if we are to learn, then only from the best.

If I was any good with sewing, I'd make one, as they don't seem like a particularly difficult project – alas, I don't know how to sew, and I don't want to bother my friends with a request to make me something. So I'll have to search for one that I like the look of and which would fit my budget, which is generally just "as cheap as I can get it".
|Taken from Lolibrary.org
The sort I'm looking for: simple yet elegant
Ultimately this will have to remain on my wishlist for now. Not that this will stop me from thinking about getting an underskirt, looking for one or drooling over other people's gorgeous coordinates using one. But maybe, just maybe, if I sit on this one, I will be better able to incorporate it into my own wardrobe straight away.

"Walk on Water and Heal"
Mark 6:45-56
Immediately – there's that Mark word again – the disciples are back in the boat, crossing the Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida, leaving Jesus to disperse the crowd. They go ahead, he stays behind. Yesterday, they all travelled together, to retreat and recuperate together. Before that, he sent them out in pairs.
Jesus takes a solo hike up the mountain to pray, into the evening. Disciples are in the boat, and Jesus on the land, unlike the first story of a storm at sea. Jesus sees they're rowing into the wind, so he takes a stroll across the lake, walking on the water, towards their agreed destination.
Stop now, to sort out stories again. Yep, last Saturday, he was sleeping in the boat and stilled the storm and the wind and waves. Yep, there is no reference to Peter trying to walk on the water to meet Jesus – that's Matthew's version of a similar story. Here, the omniscient narrator says he plans to stroll past them.
But they think he's a ghost and cry out, scared. They were already scared of the storm. Now they are scared of how their Jesus appears. Then he decides to get in the same boat with them, and still the wind. There the disciples are astounded, not scared – like the synagogue folks in Nazareth were – but with the same tone of voice, remember Tuesday? They don't get it. They don't get the loaves, either, from yesterday. Their hearts are hardened, like Pharaoh's heart was hardened between Moses' plagues.
Back on land at Gennesaret, the crowd mobs him, and he resumes the high volume healing trade – the 'just touch his cloak' kind for the masses, who trust as the disciples seem unable to do. Worlds collide, things change, and those trying to respond struggle, some feeling risks, some seeking immediate relief. Where do you fit?
Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat
and go on ahead to the other side,
to Bethsaida,
while he dismissed the crowd.
After saying farewell to them,
he went up on the mountain to pray.
When evening came, the boat was out on the lake,
and he was alone on the land.
When he saw that they were straining at the oars
against an adverse wind,
he came towards them early in the morning,
walking on the lake.
He intended to pass them by.
But when they saw him walking on the lake,
they thought it was a ghost and cried out;
for they all saw him and were terrified.
But immediately he spoke to them and said,
'Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.'
Then he got into the boat with them
and the wind ceased.
And they were utterly astounded,
for they did not understand about the loaves,
but their hearts were hardened.
When they had crossed over,
they came to land at Gennesaret
and moored the boat.
When they got out of the boat,
people at once recognized him,
and rushed about that whole region
and began to bring the sick on mats
to wherever they heard he was.
And wherever he went,
into villages or cities or farms,
they laid the sick in the market-places,
and begged him that they might touch
even the fringe of his cloak;
and all who touched it were healed.

For the 25th Anniversary of the Dinesh Oswal of Oswal Group of Industries, Ludhiana, Wedniksha created a 45 minutes film, full of songs, dialogues, skits where the story focused on the couple and their family which was stitched by a narrative of contemporary hit Bollywood numbers.
Bhavnesh Sawhney, Director, Wedniksha said, "It was the first time that we took up the challenge to put together such a project. It sounded interesting and completely out of the box and the advantage was that Mr. Dinesh Oswal was completely sure that this was that he wanted and was geared up for the challenge. This project was different as it was quite a unique request from a Family who wanted to star in their very own Bollywood style movie marking their 25th Wedding Anniversary."
Reputed choreographers were roped in and a senior film director was taken on board to direct the project. Sawhney explained, "Both these gentlemen being, industry veterans had the advantage of pulling off projects with novices."
Wedniksha named the film 'Ajab Dinesh ki Gajab Kahani' and started putting a script together. Favourite scenes, favourite songs were chosen by the family from various movies and a screenplay was presented which the family liked instantly.
A stylist for the project was hired who put together an amazing ensemble of filmy clothes on the basis of each song/dialogue sequence . 5D and PMW500 Cameras were used. 3 Motion Cameras to shoot from 3 different angles and 2 Still Cameras to capture the 'Behind the Scenes' moments were used.
The total Production team consisted of approximately 50 people. The entire family took close to 1 month for rehearsals & work shops on dialogue delivery & facing the camera. Two days of rehearsal time was spent in Mumbai with dancers so that they get use to shooting on sets with handheld cameras & dancer movements.
Mr. & Mrs. Oswal played approximately 8 different roles right from romantics to being Shahrukh of Don, Mohabbatien, Om shanti om, Salman from the movie Kick and finally a Sardar.
There are various famous romantic scenes from a wide range of movies right from movies like Mohabbatein, Om Shanti Om, Dabang amongst others
The movie consists of 20 Family members who have absolutely no Bollywood background. After 3 months of post-production, the agency presented the final movie to the client.

The Thing You Fear The MostBy Dr. Chris Michaels In Uncategorized
A friend of mine is reaching the age where he's starting to plan for retirement, so he's doing everything he can to secure a comfortable future. He maximized his 401(k) contributions. He purchased long-term-care insurance. He bought an annuity. He's doing all the things you're supposed to do to guarantee security. From a financial planner's perspective he's doing all the right things, and yet I'm not sure he's doing them for the right reason.
The problem is, it's not just your actions that dictate your future. It's more the motivation behind them that is causative. In other words, it's your consciousness, or belief system, that creates your experience.
So, if you're planning a future based on what you fear might happen, guess what's going to happen—the very thing you feared the most. When this occurs people usually say, "See, it's a good thing I prepared for this, because look what happened." But what they don't know is that the thing they feared the most came to them because they prepared for it. They expected it. Their belief in the negative experience is actually what caused it to occur.
So I want to tell my friend, save your money, but don't save it for medical costs in case you get sick. Save it for a condo at the beach or to spend on a handsome lover in the Greek islands when you retire. Now, that's worth saving for, right? Can't you just see yourself at eighty years old, all wrinkled and rich, lying on a beach somewhere, being waited on hand and foot?
Be not afraid. Plan a mit apotek24 future that excites you, one that invigorates you: one that's worthy of a spiritual being living in an unlimited universe. Set the vision for your future high, way up there, beyond where your fears can reach.

Ptosis - infants and children
Ptosis (eyelid drooping) in infants and children is when the upper eyelid is lower than it should be. This may occur in one or both eyes. Eyelid drooping that occurs at birth or within the first year is called congenital ptosis.
Alternative Names
Blepharoptosis - children; Congenital ptosis; Eyelid drooping - children; Eyelid drooping - amblyopia; Eyelid drooping - astigmatism
Ptosis in infants and children is often due to a problem with the muscle that raises the eyelid. A nerve problem in the eyelid can also cause it to droop.
Ptosis may also occur due to other conditions. Some of these include:
- Trauma at birth (such as from the use of forceps)
- Eye movement disorders
- Brain and nervous system problems
- Eyelid tumors or growths
Eyelid drooping that occurs later in childhood or adulthood may have other causes.
Children with ptosis may tip their head back to see. They may raise their eyebrows to try to move the eyelid up. You may notice:
- Drooping of one or both eyelids
- Increased tearing
- Blocked vision (from severe eyelid drooping)
The health care provider will do a physical exam to determine the cause.
The provider also may do certain tests:
- Slit-lamp examination
- Ocular motility (eye movement) test
- Visual field testing
Other tests may be done to check for diseases or illnesses that may be causing ptosis.
Eyelid lift surgery can repair drooping upper eyelids.
- If vision is not affected, surgery can wait until age 3 to 4 when the child has grown a little bigger.
- In severe cases, surgery is needed right away to prevent "lazy eye" (amblyopia).
The provider will also treat any eye problems from ptosis. Your child may need to:
- Wear an eye patch to strengthen vision in the weaker eye.
- Wear special glasses to correct an uneven curve of the cornea that causes blurred vision (astigmatism).
Children with mild ptosis should have regular eye exams to make sure amblyopia does not develop.
Surgery works well to improve the look and function of the eye. Some children need more than one surgery.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Contact your provider if:
- You notice your child has a drooping eyelid
- One eyelid suddenly droops or closes

WASHINGTON — The public sees the Iraq war as a failure and thinks the U.S. troop buildup there has not worked, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll suggesting the tough sell President Bush faces in asking Congress and voters for more time.
The pessimism expressed by most people - including significant minorities of Republicans - contrasted with the brighter picture offered by Gen. David Petraeus. The chief U.S. commander in Iraq is telling Congress this week that the added 30,000 troops have largely achieved their military goals and could probably leave by next summer, though he conceded there has been scant political progress.
By 59 percent to 34 percent, more people said they believe history will judge the Iraq war a complete or partial failure than a success. Those calling it a failure included eight in 10 Democrats, three in 10 Republicans and about six in 10 independents, the poll showed - ominous numbers for a president who hopes to use a nationally televised address later this week to keep GOP lawmakers from joining Democratic calls for a withdrawal.
"It's time to turn the corner in my view, gentlemen," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman and presidential candidate Joseph Biden, D-Del., told Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, U.S. ambassador to Iraq, as they testified to his panel Tuesday. "We should stop the surge and start bringing our troops home."
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Underscoring the public's negativity, four times as many predicted the war in Iraq would be judged as a complete U.S. failure as the number who see a complete success, 28 percent to 7 percent.Video: Not so fast on pullout, Petraeus says
When the Gallup Poll asked the same question in September 2006, 52 percent said the war will be judged as a partial or complete failure, seven points fewer than the AP-Ipsos survey.
"The enemy was in Afghanistan, and I believe going into Iraq we took our eye off the ball," said Ann Bock, 66, a retired teacher and Democratic-leaning voter from Edmond, Okla., who participated in the survey.
In the poll - taken in the days just before Petraeus' long-awaited appearance - more people rated the troop increase a flop than a success by 58 percent to 36 percent, with three in 10 Republicans joining majorities of Democrats and independents in foreseeing failure.
Positive reviews of the troop increase were at about the same level as they were in mid-January, just after Bush announced the buildup.
That didn't match Petraeus' appraisal.
"In the face of tough enemies in the brutal summer heat of Iraq, coalition and Iraqi security forces have achieved progress in the security arena," he told House lawmakers Monday. He later added, "I believe Iraq's problems will require a long-term effort. There are no easy answers or quick solutions."
In the new survey, people calling it a mistake to go to war in March 2003 outnumbered those calling it the right decision by 57 percent to 37 percent, numbers that have stayed about level for more than a year. About a quarter of Republicans, along with most Democrats and independents, labeled the war an error.
Moderate unpopularity
Among those in the poll supporting the conflict is Ronald Shaul, 62, a Republican and retired military intelligence officer.
"It was a logical outgrowth of the war on terror, started long ago by Islamic extremists," said Shaul, who lives in Hopkinsville, Ky.
Overall, those viewing the war and the troop buildup most negatively tended to be groups that often lean Democratic: females, minorities, those with lower incomes and those with less education.
For example, about two-thirds of women and half of men said the troop increase had not worked, while more minorities than whites said going to war was a mistake by about a seven-to-five margin.
But the war remains unpopular with another group crucial to both political parties: moderates. Nearly two-thirds of them said the war and troop increase were failing and that the conflict was a mistake from the start.
Two groups that normally support the Bush administration - white evangelical voters and conservatives - remained largely behind its war strategy.
Just over half of the white evangelicals who attend church at least weekly said the war was the right decision and the extra troops were helping, while about four in 10 said the war is a success - well more than Catholics and Protestants measured in the survey.
Slight majorities of conservatives saw success in Iraq, a troop increase that is working and a war that was the right choice, though a third or more answered each question negatively.
In another indication of how uncertainty over the conflict is felt even by its supporters, of those who said going to war was the right decision, fully one-fifth said it will be viewed as a failure and about a quarter said the troop increase has not worked.
The poll was conducted Sept. 6-9 and involved telephone interviews with 1,000 adults. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
