Notes to those newly diagnosed with DID:
Let us start out by saying that we feel being able to dissociate to the degree of DID is a God-given gift to help us survive. If we had not been able to dissociate to the extreme degree, we would not have survived. It may not feel like such a gift right now if you are early in your journey or even sometimes those of us who have been diagnosed for years may occasionally feel like that, too. But, it is truly a gift of survival and your inside family is ever so precious.
I know it is scary at first to realize you have others within you and to know that they have knowledge of things that happened to you that you do not remember. Just know that they are there to help you. They were created by your brilliant childhood mind to protect you and keep you as safe as they could in the midst of horrible circumstances. They are not your enemies. Because they are your system, they will not show you anything about your past until they know you are ready. As a very wise therapist once told me, "trust your system". It is very difficult in the beginning because you don't even know who "they" are, but just remember they are not your enemy and that they came to help you and save you. They won't give you more than you are able to cope with. Their job was to take over and experience the terrible things in order to protect you. It is also their job to save those memories and feelings until you are ready to face them and then only at the pace you can handle. You are not alone in your journey. You have an inside family that has always been there even though you may just now be realizing they are there.
Even if you are recently diagnosed and you are an adult, it does not mean that the others just now arrived. They have been with you ever since you were traumatized and they came to help you. When I was able to after I was diagnosed, I was able to look back and see where certain parts were active in my childhood (what little of it I know of) and especially high school and college.
When just starting out, it definitely helps to journal. It helped me anyway. I would write and write and write until I would be exhausted. Later, I could look at my journal entries and see where the handwriting changes start and stop. It helped me to begin identifying each part of me according to their handwriting and tone of writing. At first, I didn't know any names so I identified parts by characteristics like "the sad one", "bunny girl" (becuz she loved our stuffed bunny rabbits), "angry teen", etc.
Another idea you can do as you feel comfortable is to get some colored pens/markers and a journal and sit down and do what is called "open journaling". When I do this, I will pick a color that I want to write in and start a meeting on paper with my system. I may write a statement or often a question and give others the opportunity to share their thoughts. The colored pens are there cuz different parts may like to write in different colors. The colors along with the handwriting changes also helped me to identify the different parts even without names.

Gujarati novelist Raghuveer Chaudhary to get 2015 Jnanpith Award
Instituted in 1961, the award by Bharatiya Jnanpith recognises Indian literatteurs who write in one of the 22 Indian languages listed in Schedule Eight of the Indian Constitution.books Updated: Dec 31, 2015 18:53 IST
Eminent Gujarati novelist, poet and critic, Raghuveer Chaudhary, has been chosen for the prestigious Jnanpith Award for 2015, the literary organisation announced.
"The Jnanpith selection Board has announced the recipient of the 51st Jnanpith Award in a meeting, today. Eminent Gujarati litterateur Shri Raghuveer Chaudhary will receive the award," an official statement said on Tuesday. His nomination was decided at a meeting of the selection board chaired by writer and scholar Namwar Singh.
Instituted in 1961, the award by Bharatiya Jnanpith recognises Indian literatteurs who write in one of the 22 Indian languages listed in Schedule Eight of the Indian Constitution.
Author of more than 80 books, Chaudhary began his writing career with novels and poetry, and later ventured into other forms of literature, including plays, essays and short stories. Born in 1938 in Gandhinagar, the writer is a Gandhian and his works are largely influenced by literary figures like Govardhanram Tripathi, Kaka Kalelkar, Suresh Joshi, Ramdarash Mishra, and GN Dickey.
A prominent figure on the contemporary Gujarati literary scene, Chaudhary's faith in the functional aspect of human life is voiced through his novels Amrita, Venu Vatsala, and the Uparvas trilogy.
Read: Not good at giving advice since I never took any, says Ruskin Bond
He also received the Sahitya Akademi award for Uparvas in 1977 besides winning other honours, including Kumar Chandrak for poetry, Uma-Sneharashmi Prize and Ranjitram Gold Medal for creative writing, and Sauhard Samman from the Uttar Pradesh Sansthaan.

"I can feel you all around Me...' It's just one of those big circles;You wonder what you savour in this nightmare; I can feel it all around Me...Holding onto this darkest railing; One roller coaster ride to Heaven...I wish I could reach for that craving''
Rhage a name meaning Rage from what her mother had told her but why would the golden femme name the she-dog as such? Rhage knew what rage was she had felt it all her life since the first time feeling the bite of pain from her father and knowing there was nothing she could possibly do to the second time watching as her brothers and mothers did nothing she knew what Rage was it had shaped ehr mind at a young age made ehr think what most whelps didnt think of most were concerned about the love of there parents she was concerned about there deaths she dreamed about it fantasied shaped out many ways just how they could die.It fueled ehr to go on to the next day even though she kept feeling the bite of pain her mother asking why she put up with it.How could she not!? she was but a whelp against an adult there was nothing she could do! instead she bided her time ignoring her brothers grins her mothers false sorrowful look the wench meant nothing to her and soon the pain began to fade as the times she layed there still watching the world go black and the times she was forced back into the light by her master who just thought she got into fights with the other dogs he didnt care she would have been used as dog fighting bait anyway not like she mattered much she only went on until ehr fathers hits meant nothing to her she would just brush them off give him a stare that made her mother shiver in fear the stare that had her walking away the stare that drove ehr father mad.She had slept when she heard the noise and her father attacked ehr she had bolted away as the male stumbled and she found ehrself acting upon instinct her fangs sinking into flesh and she clamped down as her father thrashed violently slamming her into things roaring how much he despised ehr but she waited as blood gushed in ehr mouth running down her chin and the male went limp slowly falling till she ripped her mouth back and just stared down at the male that had drove her to do what she had wanted to do for so long.but revenge was only sweet for so long as her brothers and mother ran to the noise they only stared as she turned around and eyed ehr mother giving her the same look as her father.That look which made her mother scream at ehr what a monster she was made her scream that what she did was wrong but she could only give that slow smile that smile that made her brothers run and she ran at her mother only for the door to swing open and something smashed against ehr head dizzied she looked up seeing the master with a club and he put a rope around her enck and led ehr outside where he chained her up away from her mother and brothers as they feared for there life.it was all pathetic in ehr eyes so she loosened the chain against her enck and slipped out the whelpess running towards the fence and digging ehr way out where she ran not once looking back.she learned swiftly the harshness of being alone but she adapted easily learning when was the right time to fight and when was the right time to take flight.She stayed like that for a month till she found a strange shaggy dying creature a old wolf who laughed as he saw the way ehr eyes glimemred so lifeless no emotion shinign within there deep endless depths and he told ehr to come closer and wary of this new creature she did so as he started to tell her a tale of wolves.and she listened as he explaiend to her everything about him and the wolves he ahd lived with and raised he had stopped though and she went and found a chewed hamburger and brought it back wanting him to finish his story which he did but soon died afterwads.she felt no remorse really just a weird feeling of interest and slowly she walked out of the old alley finding herself almost without knowing heading for the forests where she wanted to learn more.The old wolf had said that most wolves didnt like dogs especially where he came from but she didnt care she wasnt scared the whelp feared nothing wary yes but she wasnt scared of death having many times stared upon his grimly face and walked away unscathed.so she found ehrself seeking out the right pack of wolves the male saying she would know which one she wanted to go to by the sounds and smells of the area she didnt udnerstand but she wanted to this was something of interest besides she had nothing else better to do right and what did she have to lose?The trek through the rugged lands to Jabbar Junayd was abit tough but she managed even though ehr paws bled she didnt notice instead the young and silent femme moved silently through the tree's watching the sights around ehr and inhalign the many scents which surrounded the area.danger.this place smelled of danger but she wasnt scared infact this interested her was this what that old wolf had talked about? a place she would feel welcomed more at by smell? maybe she didnt know she didnt have the senses of a wolf instead she stalked foward but stopped.okay the old male had said nothing on how to introduce oneself to a supposed alpha and just how to recognize them.Feeling rather foolish for all this and going ahead like a child without the proper information she sprang back into the shadows to think.she could just ask someone but that in itself could get ehr into trouble and Rhage wasnt one to talk to others so instead she trudged along trying to search for someone to find and ask that didnt seem busy or hoping someone found ehr and guided her through this because the dog was absolutely clueless on what to do next::FONT>
Raizer thats what she had been called it was the first thing she had heard in her life and knew it to be her name since the first time she opened ehr crimson eyes only to be assaulted by the sight of death and decay around her it never bothered her instead as she was placed on the ground to wobble around she only stared at the bodys with interest and was guided to her would be teacher an old wolf who looked more scars then fur she didnt mind his physical appearance never bothered her at all.Instead as she was soon to find out it wouldnt be his appearance that really bothered her it would be those fangs of his.She grew her life up in his teaching by fang and claw she got taught how to kill since she was first dragged out thrashing and snarling by a thick chain into a ring that reeked of humans and blood and death and she was faced up against a amssive dog sinec she first ran at him intent to kill already knowing the rules she knew this was her destiny as her fangs sank home and blood filled her maw it thrileld ehr as she broke the male down not finishing till she was satsified that this thing before her was dead since the enxt thing came up an old rottweiler that was scarred up the reigning champion and they tore at eachother again and again the feel of pain thrilled her drove ehr on and on.Till finally those fangs sank home and she ripped back the familier thrilling sound of flesh being rendered made ehr smile.when she was done she was faced with ehr old teacher who just gave an approving smile but she just smiled back a plan coming forth.why just act insane?.instead she went back into that cold metal crate where she was poked at and prodded till she finally just grew tired of it and then was fed deliciously a meal she never thought she would have but this was her victory food and she enjoyed it a plan coming forth and finally settling instead she feigned injury in one of the fights with a massive and evry angry great dane making her owner bring out ehr teacher.She only laughed as he looked at her as if she was insane she knew he could never take on that massive being and live and she enjoyed it watching him being ripped to shreds till she was sent out ignoring his dying words of hatred instead she rendered the injured great dane useless in a few short minutes fallign it and sinking her fangs to home the throat.since then she has been an inspiration to many ehr master proud of her and her temperment brought ehr a efw whelps to train and she used them all training them yes but not enough to her they were just baits to use and sure enough the sweet little doberman she raised became a meal leaving her to finish off what her student ahd started.The little german shephard had been killed leaving her as well to render her killer useless in battle .oh she used her girls and boys except one a little rottweiler who soon caught her interest this one actually showed more potential and so she renamed her Tahti which meant star because she kenw this girl would be one the way she had stared at blood almost with interest with those deep brown hues said something to her.She lacked what others did compassion.emotion and she knew what it meant to lack emotion if one even knew hate they still knew what emotion was they still ahd it but she and that little whelp had nothing but amusement at everything and the whelp was easily warped so she trained her with Viger teaching her everything she knew till she felt the bite of fangs in her shoulder and so the lessons were ended and she watched the girl go out and kill with the same insanity she herself had the liking of pain that drove her more foward the feel of fangs biting inside there flesh driving them wild.She was amusing and beautiful to see in action the massive rottweiler biting foward and ripping flesh easily.She didnt ehsitate she didnt wait she went foward and took the proper action knowing it could be her life if she made a wrong move.but soon her student had fell and she watched the master as he looked at ehr with such shame pulling out his little star and she watched as her student was lifted into another crate and what happened to her she didnt know she just knew that she dissapeared and she never heard from her since.Everything went back to normal until one day as she was sitting in ehr cage the doors were burst in the smell of gunpowder hit ehr nose and her cage was opened but the sound of a gunshot made her whirl around on the police men who were surrounding ehr master and she just backed into the shadows snarling.Soon strange men came in with collar like wires and she would have none of that instead she lashed out biting the metal rod and pushing foward knocking the guy down and running for the door dodging others with ease as her feet took her under a fence and off into the city where she stayed for a month feeding on trash and sickened by it so instead she went back into the forests annoyed by the scent of people and sick of it whilst traveling in the forest old memories began to haunt her she knew this in itself was unusual she never really cared for anybody or anything so why was her old etache rpopping up and making her rememebr about what eh said about packs and what not.IT annoyed her but she went on anyway figuring it a sign and ebsides what else did she have to loose? she might as well join a pack because she really didnt want to end up being put down because she knew thats what the humans would do to her afterall pitbulls werent really allowed there anyway.so she began her journey trying to find a place until she stumbled onto some lands and where an old fox told her where everything was before she killed him and devoured him afterall food was food why waste?.and she headed towards this Jabbar Junayd figuring she might as well start there why not? it ought to be interesting right? and besides if they didnt like ehr there who cares?If they tried to kill her oh well atleast she knew she went down fighting she had nothing to lose anyhow and wasnt scared of anyone or anything they could dish at ehr she had it all happen to her.so she headed towards there the trip itself was easy atleast to her but finding herself surrounded by the stench of wolves was abit annoying but she went on till she found ehrself a clearing and she watched everyone and how they interacted stalking around trying to locate the one in charge or atleast someone of high status she could talk to but she wasnt used to finding someone like that so found it abit difficult but how to approach these wolves when she was used to using others.She ahd idea's but most would probably get ehr killed in the end oh well instead her eyes caught sight of Jaded and she stared at the others aroudn her words of a hunt made her know perhaps this wasnt the time to interrupt instead she sat back calmly watching everyone with amusement and waiting for the right time to talkor perhaps get caught but oh well if she did why should they be angry? if they were oh well she knew how to deal with the ill tempered and the prideful but her question still stood as to where the leader was she would ened to listen to find out and sit back and listen she did with a small grin upon her jowls::

Two words ladies…..
I recently have started my new MARY KAY business and I could not be more excited!! There is more to it than I expected, but then again it is starting your own business and being your own boss so you have to take care of everything yourself so that makes sense. However, you still have a base to go off of, you are not starting from scratch and they give you an amazing support system! There are DVDs, books, a hotline, and my director is there for me anytime I need her!
My start up kit was just $100 (a $425 value!) I was so excited to take it home from the Mary Kay party! I had gone into that party already interested in starting up my own biz, and I wanted to see if I loved this product. I wanted to sell, I just didn't know what yet. We got there, and our Consultant greeted us and was so excited to see us! She made us feel very welcome. She started off by treating us to the Peach Satin Hands treatment, which broke the ice and left our hands feeling amazingly soft. She went into her introduction and then went on to give us full facials and make overs, matching us to our perfect shade of foundation, blush, and lipgloss! We felt so pretty and we were all complimenting each other on how great we looked!
I really fell in love with the product, the skin care made my skin feel so amazing and the make up looked great! I knew this was something I had to be a part of. So I made the decision to start my own MK biz and I'm glad I did. I have so many girls interested in having parties with me and I'm so excited to see where this journey takes me!
"Do unto others as you want done unto you."
"God first, family second, career third."
Please show me some love and support and come check out my website at http://www.marykay.com/lindseyhanson, check out what I have to offer, or schedule a party with me I would love to PAMPER you!!!
Happy Success!

The first weekend in May, however, I got out of the city and took the train to Toronto to visit my friend Sarah and her husband Aaron. It was soooo awesome to not have any work responsibilities and to just enjoy the gorgeous weather with friends!
I got in late Saturday night, so Sunday morning we headed out for brunch and some exploring. We had a lovely brunch at Chai on Bayview. The food was delish and so fresh!
Photo courtesy of blog.to.com
We checked out some of the shops on the main street. My favourite was The Elegant Garage Sale. It's a consignment shop full of modern and antique pieces. I totally felt like I was on an episode of Sarah Richardson's while inside!

We also checked out Epi Breads. BEST SMELLING SHOP EVER. Not to mention the free sample of the cranberry loaf was to die for.
Photo courtesy of blogto.com
Sarah just moved there a few months ago so it was nice to see their new place and check out the new neighbourhood. It's super cute, and I'm jealous of their gorgeous tree lined streets with old houses.
I left on Monday afternoon, but not after a few more adventures! I'm still working on getting the pictures uploaded so I'll get to posting those in the next few days! It was a great, little, mini vacation. Thanks for having me guys!

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.—No. 3 SUNY Plattsburgh (7-2, 5-0 NEWHL) shutout the SUNY Potsdam women's hockey team (5-3-1, 1-3-1 NEWHL) 8-0 Friday night. Freshman forward Annie Katonka (Pittsburgh, Pa./Pittsburgh Pens Elite) scored a hat trick on the day.
Plattsburgh won a faceoff in the offensive zone early, that led to junior forward Courtney Moriarty (Estero, Fla./Northfield Mount Hermon) putting the Cardinals on the board within the first four minutes. The Bears tried to tie the game up throughout the first, but were unable to solve junior goalie Kassi Abbott (North Billerica, Mass./Boston Shamrocks Elite). With the first period winding down, Plattsburgh scored their second goal on a power play by Katonka to take the 2-0 lead into the first intermission.
The Cardinals kept the pressure going early in the second, scoring two in the first five minutes. Senior Melissa Sheeran (Schaghticoke, N.Y./Millbrook School) and junior Mackenzie Millen (Anchorage, Alaska/North American Hockey Academy) scored the goals, respectively. Potsdam got four shots on goal, two by junior forward Jenna Patterson (Boissevain, Manitoba/Westman Wildcats). Plattsburgh closed out the scoring in the second with a short-handed goal by Sheeran at 13:10 for the 5-0 lead.
Millen and Katonka tacked on three more goals, in the first six minutes of the third, increasing their lead to 8-0. Freshman defenseman Emily Burke (San Jose, Calif./San Jose Jr. Sharks) and senior captain Anna-Rose Bertin (Marathon, Ontario/CIH Academy) took the last six of seven shots for Potsdam, but none reached the back of the net.
Sophomore Alexa Pfeiffer (Sylvania, Ohio/Little Caesar's) saved 31 shots while sophomore Kayla McCabe (Watertown, N.Y./Syracuse Nationals) stopped 14 shots when she entered at the start of the third stanza. Abbott saved all 22 shots for her fourth shutout of the season.
The Bears are back in action tomorrow as they host the Cardinals at 3 p.m. in the Maxcy Ice Arena.

1 HVAC Processes Lecture 7
2 Targets of Lecture General understanding about HVAC systems: Typical HVAC processes Air handling units, fan coil units, exhaust fans Typical plumbing systems Transfer pumps, sump pumps, water tanks Typical chilled water systems Chillers, secondary pumps, HEX systems Field equipment Sensors, valves, actuators, relays, variable frequency drives
3 What is HVAC? Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning Controls temperature, humidity and air quality inside a building Especially important in medium to large buildings such as office/residential towers All preferably integrated into one system In warm climates usually no need for a heating system
4 Heating Central heating often used in cold climates to heat private houses and public buildings Heating systems usually comprise of a boiler, furnace, heat pump or district hot water to heat water, steam or air Piping distributes heated fluid and radiators transfer this heat to air and structures, e.g. floor heating system
5 Ventilation The process of changing or replacing air in any space to control temperature or remove moisture, smoke, carbon dioxide, etc Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building One of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings Supply air used for ventilation is filtered and cooled and/or heated inside air handling units
6 Air conditioning Refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort Air conditioning systems are designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within an area Excess heat from the circulating air is usually removed by a cooling coil that is supplied with cold water To decrease relative humidity the circulating air needs to be cooled to a temperature below the dew point and then heated back to meet the requirement
7 Major terms Air handling unit (AHU) a central unit consisting of a blower, heating and cooling elements, filters, etc. that are in direct contact with the airflow Chiller a device that removes heat from a liquid. The cooled liquid flows through pipes and passes through coils in air handling units, FCUs, etc Coil equipment that performs heat transfer inside an AHU etc. Damper a plate or gate placed in a duct to control airflow
8 Major terms Fan coil unit (FCU) a small terminal unit that is often composed of only a blower and a cooling coil Variable air volume (VAV) an HVAC system that has a stable supply air temperature and varies the airflow rate with dampers and adjusting fan speeds to meet the temperature requirements
9 Typical HVAC processes - AHU Air handling units are used for circulating air inside a building or a part of a building Typically consists of two fans (exhaust and supply), filters, a heat recovery unit, and one or more coils for heating/cooling To improve air quality circulating air is mixed with fresh air Usually equipped with a heat recovery unit for energy saving purposes Supply air temperature kept constant so that temperature can be adjusted locally with thermostats
10 Typical HVAC processes - FAHU Fresh air handling units are used for supplying fresh air inside a building or part of a building Indoor air quality is improved as the serving area is treated with 100% fresh air Usually takes more energy to heat/cool fresh air to target temperature Usually equipped with a heat recovery unit for energy saving purposes Can also be used for supplying precooled air for FCUs
11 FAHU Control Diagram
12 Typical HVAC processes Exhaust fans Used for extracting air from the building or part of a building Ventilated areas are usually toilets, kitchens and other areas where fumes should be extracted directly outside Parking areas are usually equipped with exhaust fans that are controlled according to carbon monoxide measurements or time schedules
13 Typical HVAC processes FCUs Fan coil units are used for cooling purposes in small areas Consist of a blower and a cooling coil Can either circulate the air inside the serving area or are supplied with precooled air from an air-handling unit Controlled with a Lonix room module and a thermostat for local setpoint adjustment
14 FCU Control Diagram
15 Typical HVAC processes - VAV Variable air volume systems are used for controlling the air flow of constant temperature in different parts of the building Dampers inside ducts regulate the flow of air to different serving areas Pressure difference measurements accross supply and exhaust fans are used for maintaining a constant pressure inside ducts Thermostats inside serving areas are used for local setpoint adjustments that affect the air flow through dampers
16 Typical plumbing processes Transfer pumps Transfer pumps are used for pumping liquid from one place to another In residential and office buildings they are typically used for maintaining adequate supply of water in water tanks Usually On/Off controlled according to liquid level switches
17 Typical plumbing processes Booster pumps Booster pumps are used in applications where the normal system pressure is low and needs to be increased Typical in high rise buildings where domestic water pipeline pressure needs to be high to better serve tenants in the upper floors Pipeline usually divided into a high and low pressure zone (lower and higher floors) Either PRV or VSD controlled
18 Typical plumbing processes Sump pumps Sump pumps are used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump pit Sump pumps are usually controlled with two level switches: higher switch for indicating when the pump should start and a lower switch for indicating when the pump should stop Pump should not be let run dry so the lower level switch should be above the pump, upper level switch should be located near the top
19 Typical plumbing processes Water tanks Water tanks are used for storing e.g. domestic water in high rise buildings High and low level switches are used for alarming and controlling transfer pumps More accurate level indication can be obtained with a More accurate level indication can be obtained with a pressure difference transducer
20 Typical chilled water processes Chillers Chillers transfer heat from a liquid to the surrounding air Consist of a primary pump and a heat exchanger Chilled fluid is used by air handling units and FCUs to cool supply air temperature Usually more than one chiller is used so that some of them are on standby and are taken into use when more cooling power is needed. Usually controlled according to return temperature
21 Chiller Control Diagram
22 Typical chilled water processes Secondary Pumps Secondary pumps maintain adequate system pressure in a chilled water system Usually a pump set that consists of several pumps equipped with variable frequency drives are used As with chillers, when the cooling power (pressure) needed is very low only one pump should be running and the others on standby When more cooling is needed more pumps should be started Controlled according to the pressure difference between the return and supply headers
23 Secondary Pumps Control Diagram
24 Field equipment Temperature sensors Different types Pt1000 Resistance temperature detector (RTD) Ni1000 RTD Active 0-10V transducer (0/4 20 ma transducer) Duct sensor mounted on duct, probe inside Protection pocket for measuring liquids Room sensors Outdoor
25 Field equipment Pressure sensors Active 0-10V transducers or pressure switches Typically for measuring gases (ventilation) or liquids (plumbing processes) Sensor measures the difference between two pressures introduced as inputs to the sensing unit, for example, measuring the pressure drop across a filter in an AHU When selecting an appropriate transducer it is important to know the measured range
26 Field equipment Relative humidity sensors Active 0-10V transducers Usually includes temperature measurement as most relative humidity sensors use temperature compensation to reach more accurate results In HVAC mostly used to monitor/control relative In HVAC mostly used to monitor/control relative serving area humidity (measured either locally in the serving area or in the return air duct)
27 Field equipment Concentration sensors Typically carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations are measured Active 0-10V transducers Carbon dioxide is a good measure of indoor air quality (if concentration exceeds 700 ppm more ventilation is needed) Carbon monoxide measurements are usually used in parking areas for controlling exhaust fans. In areas where people stay longer periods a limit of 25 ppm is recommended
28 Field equipment Relays An electrical switch that is used for controlling electrical circuits with other circuits Usually a hard current circuit is controlled with a weak current circuit e.g. a 230Vac circuit can be controlled with 24Vdc Used for controlling devices that need to be powered off completely e.g. light groups, pumps, VFDs etc
29 Field equipment Valves & valve drives Valves are used to control the flow of fluids in pipes Valve drives are used to open and close valves with an electrical input command (digital, 0-10V) Valve selection can be difficult and usually valve types need to be approved by the designer Valve drives are purchased from the valve manufacturer
30 Field equipment Variable frequency drives Variable frequency drive is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor In automation perspective, the speed of the electric motor can be controlled with a 0-10Vdc control signal In BMS, variable frequency drives are mostly used for controlling fans and pumps variable-frequency motors on e.g. fans save energy by allowing the volume of air moved to match the system demand
31 Starter panels Most motors (fans, pumps) are controlled through starter panels Connections: modules -> starter panel -> motor Starter panels usually include Run status indication Trip alarm indication (and reset) H-0-A indication On/Off control (power) VFD control signal and feedback
32 Data Point Schedule Describes all the needed I/O points and field devices for BMS Very important for a project as some other documents and especially the bill of quantity (BoQ) are based on it Should always be kept up to date

My 'horror story' happened about a year ago. Back then I was a day trading machine, it was how I made my living at the time. I ran 4 monitors on two systems in my office, and another set up on the kitchen counter just for when I was getting coffee. 16 pairs on multiple time frames, and swinging for the fences with every trade, 20 pips a day is all I needed and usually got. That is, until that one day.
In hindsight I now realize I was biting off way more than I could chew. Trying to trade too many pairs, on too many time frames was a recipe for disaster. I really thought I had my bases covered, I followed my rules, kept great records, used money management, and usually used 'good till end of day entries' just to be safe. But the problem had always been there, a lack of discipline; being too aggressive and too greedy with a dash of over confidence and a hint of lazy.
I don't remember the exact pattern I set the limit order for, something on the 5 min chart, but it was my full contract size, 3 standard lots, 2 for targets and the third as a runner to trail stop. 'Set it and forget it,' I did this often, if it triggered great, otherwise I would cancel it later, and hurry off to the next chart. Thing is, this time I forgot to cancel it, and it was not a 'good till end of day' order. There it sat, a buy order with NO protective stop, hiding amongst a sea of charts. A full contract, I had forgotten about it and I had gone to bed.
Didn't make it up for the start of the London session, slept in, I was tired. Then the phone rang, a bit early for a call, a friend of mine on the other end, "did you see what happened?", "no, what?", "turn on the TV.."
It was March 11th, and Japan was just hit by an earthquake and a tsunami. I watched in disbelief for a couple of minutes, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks….Holy $#*t…my Dollar/Yen trade…
All things considered it could have been worse, down 125 pips when I finally got out, you do the math. Yes, it was a brutal hit to a rather feeble account size, and Yes, it hurt. But in the days that followed, and as I watched the news coverage, I came to the realization that I was actually pretty fortunate, my loss was only money. I am still here, my family is still here, my home is still here. I couldn't say the same for the soles I watched on the tv screen.
I do things a lot different these days, I learned my lesson from that, and have since rebuilt my account, something Japan has only just begun. I learned another thing, that trading isn't everything for me, it's not my life, it is only a means to live. Never forget how fortunate you really are. Take care traders.

A 3 day journey to 9 distilleries
For DAY ONE (click here)
|Maker's Mark in Loretto, KY
|Whisky the Cat
After a generous and delicious breakfast, we drove a short 3 miles to Maker's Mark. I had prepaid for our tour tickets online, which allows you a reservation for the day with a time given when you arrive. (This is available at some of the busier distilleries.) Their visitor center is in a house filled with southern charm and residence to Whisky the cat. From there, the tours take off to the distillery house for a short education on how the bourbon is made.
|Getting Ready to Taste the Different Stages of Bourbon Making
Tasting the different stages of the brew was both enlightening and a scene right out of a kid in a candy store with his hand in the jar. It was a personal touch full of memories. The bottling house was not in operation on a Saturday, but the years of advertising displayed along the interior wall explained just how lofty the Maker's Mark brand is in the distillery world.
|Chihuly Ceiling at Maker's Mark
Tasting encountered four samples after which there was a walk through the warehouse lined with a Chihuly ceiling leading to complimentary bourbon chocolates and the gift shop. Holy Bourbon, what a gift store it was!! There's every
|Dipping a Personal Bottle
branded tidbit that one could imagine, topped off by the opportunity to dip your own bottle of Maker's Mark in their signature red wax. You won't be able to resist.
|Bourbon Hertiage Center at Heaven Hill
Heaven Hill is near Bardstown and consisted of a short stop at their gift shop and a walk through the museum touted by the name on the building, Bourbon Heritage Center. A short drive to downtown Bardstown put us at Mammy's Kitchen for lunch. It's a southern diner full of surprises and tasty food (click here).
|Jim Beam Visitor Center
Our last stop that day was about 35 minutes to the north -- Jim Beam. We had planned on taking the tour, but as luck would have it, the tours sold our for the day literally a handful of people in front of us. But Jim Beam had a great idea–tastings to those who could not get on the tour. That was
|Dispensing Jim Beam Samples
perfect for us! The tasting center was a short walk from the visitor center and gift store. Each of us was given a plastic card for two pours each. Dispensers were throughout the center with descriptions of their different varieties. We wanted to sample the flavored ones–Black Cherry, Maple and Honey. Just insert the card, press your choice of bourbon and a perfect pour goes in the glass. Jim Beam is located across from the Blenheim Forest and Arboretum containing outdoor sculptures and beautiful plant specimens.
|Bulleit Gift Store
with Bourbon Bottle Chandelier
After breakfast and saying goodbye to Lisa Marie and Rudy James, we wound our way through some small towns and rolling country on our way to I-65 that would eventually get us to Bulliet on the west side of Louisville. It's in an urban setting so it comes with a security gate that is manned by longtime employees. Ours couldn't have been happier doing what he does and greeting us! Bulleit is new to the tour,
|Tom Bulleit's Presidential Office
even though it is the oldest of the brands, with the visitor center located in one of the original buildings that has been restored to show off their president's office, history and tasting
|Bulleit Cooperage
room. A cooperage (barrel making) was open in an adjacent building. There was no one there, but one could imagine the workings from the displays. Bulliet will be moving in the next few years to a brand new distillery in Shelbyville. I hope they can maintain some of the historical aspects, but that seems impossible without its current surroundings.
|John Evans Headquarters on Main Street in Louisville
Downtown Louisville would be our last stop at the Evan Williams building on Main Street. We were a little early for their 1PM Sunday opening time as the line formed outside
|The Huge Pour at the
Evan Williams Entrance
and into the street. The Evan Williams Experience takes a Disney approach to its tour, making it a popular one. It would only be a quick visit to the gift store on the second floor for us. A stamp to our passport and we were on our way to the Louisville Visitors Center a couple of blocks away to receive our official 2015 Kentucky Bourbon Trail t-shirt for our devotion over the past 3 days! From there, lunch beckoned at Havana Rumba (click here), our favorite Louisville restaurant.
Happy (Bourbon) Trails…to you!

This Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Program (BMSCTP) of the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) is among the largest and oldest in the nation. This active program sees patients of all ages, sexes and ethnic origins and conducts all forms of stem cell transplantation including autologous, allogeneic, non-myeloablative and cord blood, matched and mismatched, related and unrelated for a myriad of diseases. Dr. Edward Stadtmauer has been the PI of this BMT CTN Core Clinical Center and is also the Co-leader of the ACC Hematologic Malignancies Program and so access to patients for BMT CTN clinical trials is straightforward and this has been reflected in the impressive accrual from our center. Dr David Porter works very closely with Dr Stadtmauer and has been the Director of Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant and Immunotherapy for 14 years. 210 patients have been accrued from Penn to BMT CTN;the 3rd largest accrual of any single center. Penn investigators have demonstrated intellectual leadership in the Network;membership on 6 protocol teams (study chairs for 2) and chair of 3 committees. Penn investigators were key to the highly successful myeloma series of clinical trials. ACC led accrual in all 3 trials with protocol team leadership in all. Penn's BMSCTP remains consistently very active with 205 stem cell transplants conducted in 2009;125 autologous, 80 allogeneic. The BMSCTP is supported by numerous ACC world- class research resources: Our research proposal, """"""""A PHASE III TRIAL OF TACROLIMUS/MTX WITH OR WITHOUT MARAVIROC (A CCR5 INHIBITOR) AS GVHD PROPHYLAXIS AFTER REDUCED INTENSITY ALLOGENEIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION"""""""" was chosen among many alternatives from Penn to demonstrate an area of our expertise, based on our own pilot study work, fill a major clinical need, namely the improvement of outcome for allogeneic HSCT by reducing GVHD, and can be completed in a timely fashion. These attributes of strong clinical research, patient care, thought leaders in the field and a documented enthusiasm and success in BMT CTN trials uniquely position our Center to promote the efficient comparison of novel treatment methods and strategies to benefit blood or marrow transplantation.
Membership as a BMT CTN Core Clinical Center is central to the mission of the ACC BMSCTP to facilitate multidisciplinary, interdepartmental and multi-institutional evaluation of new therapeutic approaches to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and to disseminate these findings to health care professionals, the patients and the public to improve the outcome of patients.

Crazy Nutters
These will be some of the back ranking guys for the regiment. I made sure that those in front have a few more obvious chaos symbols on them. There really isn't a need for that in the back ranks. The empire flagellant models are really great and suit the cultist image excellently. The eyes are tiny and almost impossible to paint. I usually don't have a problem with painting eyes but really these guys are tough to do. I have scattered the heads around the rest of the army and they fit the marauders perfectly. I have also added them to the Chaos Mages I converted a long time ago. I am eager to paint the mages up but I need a little more greenstuff work on them before I can get started.

Young investors have made out like bandits in the bear market, as they'll reap the benefits of buying in at low stock prices for as long as they last. Those close to or already in retirement, however, have a lot to be nervous about, with everything from trying to keep their jobs to repairing their broken portfolios weighing on their minds.
Investors between age 40 and 55 share traits from both of these groups. But if you're in this age range and play your cards right, you have more than enough time to get yourself back on track for a happy retirement.
The best of both worlds
Although middle-aged investors aren't necessarily in as enviable a position as their younger counterparts, people this age have a bunch of things going for them right now:
- You've probably been investing for a while, so you know the ropes and may already have in place a solid plan of attack for your investments.
- While the losses you've taken in the past year may be fairly sizable, they pale in comparison to what people closer to retirement have seen.
- You still have 10 to 25 years left before you'll start wanting to draw money out of your retirement accounts, so you have enough time to wait out a bear market and reap the rewards of smart investing.
- Unlike younger investors with entry-level jobs, you're probably further in your career by now and earn more money, with more to put aside toward savings.
But you've got to take the right steps in order to continue on the path to success. If you're wondering what to do next with your investments -- or need to put together a new portfolio pronto -- then look closely at these topics.
Complete your portfolio
Investing can be like nutrition. When you're young, you can pretty much get away with eating whatever junk food you want. But age eventually catches up with you, and you have to watch what you eat in order to prevent future problems.
Similarly, middle-aged investors need balance in their portfolios. If you've gorged on high-risk, high-reward stocks, then you haven't suffered any permanent damage, but it's time to start broadening your investing. And if you don't own any stocks or stock funds yet, you should make sure to get a broad selection now.
Demand cash
When was the last time you saw a growth stock like Apple
Dividend income is a valuable thing to have, especially as you get closer to retirement. The payments give you more cash to invest, and can also act as a buffer to help you weather market turbulence. Healthy dividend-paying companies like Caterpillar
Go beyond stocks
Often, young investors allocate all their money to stocks. With time on their side, they figure they can afford to take maximum risk.
As you get older, though, you need to start thinking about diversifying beyond stocks. Bonds were the saving grace for many investors last year -- and they can help you for years to come.
Bonds don't have to be boring, though. Beyond ultrasafe Treasuries, you can sometimes pick up better yields in corporate bonds. Here are a few examples:
S&P Bond Rating, Coupon Rate, Maturity
Current Yield
JPMorgan Chase
A+, 6.3%, April 2019
Altria Group
BBB, 9.7%, Nov. 2018
A, 4.6%, Jan. 2015
Source: The Wall Street Journal.
Those yields are all significantly higher than comparable Treasuries. And while even blue-chip companies have been vulnerable to default lately, they're all well-known companies with decent prospects for the foreseeable future.
As you get closer to retirement, your portfolio should ideally start getting more conservative. By taking the right steps toward cutting down risk, you can get yourself back into position for a comfortable financial future.
