** Update 8/2014 – Proceeds have been donated, and I am in the process of making the e-book free, and the paper back as cheap as I'm allowed. See my donation post here: Donation of my Proceeds to The Lifeline **
As most of you probably know, I'm donating all the proceeds of the sale of my book to The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. My original goal was to make a donation once I made $100 of sales. I haven't gotten there yet, but felt I should let anyone who is interested know of my progress. I may never get to that point, lol. 😉
Just so you know how I'm paid, there are two different formats available, a regular print book and a Kindle book. The paper back sells for $9.89 on Amazon, and for each sale, I get $2.29. The Kindle sells for $2.99, and for each sale I get around $2.04. There are some slight differences based on what country it's sold in and whether it's borrowed from the Kindle Lender's library or purchased.
Unfortunately, Amazon is really terrible about reporting sales and royalties paid out. I've simply attached exactly what I get from them. It's sort of hard to decipher, but once you look at it for a bit, you'll understand. They have to list every country they sell in regardless of whether you made a sale in that country that month. So that's why there is a bunch of seemingly useless junk here. The Create Space file is for the paper back sales.
To the best of my ability to decipher, since 'Letting Go' was published, I've sold 5 paper back and 22 Kindle editions. Total proceeds: $59.97. I've spent about $600 all together for various things getting the book published, but I will not be trying to recover any of that money. I consider it a personal donation of money and most especially, time.
It is a little bit discouraging, but I remind myself that I first began writing this book for only my daughter…and myself. I will certainly never have a marketing, publishing, or public relations team working for me, so I am satisfied that I followed my dream all the way to the end and accomplished my goal. If I ever make it to $100, you can bet I'll happily pull out my check book and make another post!
Of the 8 reviews I've received on Amazon, 7 were 5-star. One person gave it a 3-star review, but if you look at all the other reviews that person wrote, you will notice they are all for Erotica books! Clearly, 'Letting Go' is not really that reader's preferred taste, and I'm sure it was a pretty dull read for them! 🙂
And by the way, no, none of the reviews are from any of my friends, family, or people I know in real life. I'm fairly certain none of them have even read it, haha! Not even my husband has read the dang thing. Although, I'm happy to report that my daughter read it and absolutely loved it. 😉
If anyone is interested, you can read the first 10k words for free on the Amazon page. The only real way I have of promoting it, is word of mouth recommendations from readers. If any of you do read, please leave a review and let others know about it, thank you!

The season is just getting underway and already the women's soccer team is shaping up as a formidable opponent. Case in point: during a recent match the team upset #8 Portland with a 2-0 victory. It is the biggest win in the program's history against the high ranking squad from the Rose City and for SU's team marks the highest ranked opponent to be beaten by any SU team since reclassifying back to Division I.
The team has many matches ahead on its home turf of Championship Field. Get the full schedule of upcoming games.

.357SIG, generously donated to the cause of science by Lucky Gunner (so go buy stuff from them), in an attempt to break the Surefire XC1B.
Also along for the ride was a magazine test gun and some ammo I'd purchased to feed it. While Lucky Gunner occasionally sponsors some ammo, I also buy a ton of it from them. The reason for this is because not only are they good folks with whom I enjoy doing business, but also that when I put my order in before 3PM and select FedEx Ground delivery, the ammo shows up on my front porch the next morning before the range opens. That's handy.
Anyway, the test ammo for the other gun was Speer Lawman 200gr FMJ +P. If I knew this load existed, I'd somehow forgotten about it. If you carry 200gr +P JHPs in a .45, it's definitely handy having an FMJ practice load that's a ballistic twin.

I responded to an email by Brian Bloom of www.beyondneanderthal.com and a frequent critic of your host. He seems to think that just because gold has historically held its value and that people have perceived it as having value, that . He suggests that I drink several glasses of scotch to help come to my senses. You be the judge. Next we talk about the latest congressional conspiracy to exempt itself from major portions of Obamacare. Will this outrage be allowed by we the people?

People from the West Midlands pronounce "tiling" as "toiling", which is fairly apt...
Here's my final typography poster, produced in association with Wolverhampton Art Gallery, to advertise an exhibition of the work of Ed Ruscha.
The "n" represents the tent, and I used this frame to order the rest of the text. The green is representative of the grass.
Upon completion, the main task we were set was to "tile" the piece together - in order to create an A2 piece, I instead printed onto two A3s, and tacked the two together. Not as easy as it sounds.
By the way, Ruscha didn't ever live in a tent (to my knowledge), for the full story of why the poster contains what it does click here.

Hello, I am starting a project on a download site with posts containing download buttons and links. 90% of traffic is search and 50% is on mobile. What would be the best way to monetize this?
Would CPA do well? Any networks to recommend that does well in this niche? Adcenter has been shit for this type of site.
Any solid advice appreciated.

Bamboo pruning tip: 'Legging Up' gives bamboo that classic look
Often when thinking of bamboo in a nicely manicured garden, it's common to associate it with long, exposed vertical culms (canes) topped with nice green, dense foliage. Neat, sleek and clean looking - there is a way to prune bamboo to create this 'classic' bamboo look, called 'Legging up.'
'Legging up' involves pruning thin, weak culms from the plant; and cutting off the branches and leaves from the nodes from the lower three to four feet of the plant. Use a sharp pair of pruning shears to make clean cuts both in thinning culms; and in cutting the branches and leaves from the nodes. 'Legging up' should be done around May for clumping bamboo and September for running bamboo.
It's easy to do and is actually beneficial to the bamboo plant because it opens up the interior to more sunlight and airflow. Further, the loss of old leaves puts more energy back into the root mass to further future culm development and the generation of new, fresh leaves.
Many Sacramento area homes have pools that have a tropical-style landscape. 'Legging up' bamboo in a tropical landscape offers the lush green upper foliage (for privacy) while showing off the beauty of the culms, giving that true 'jungle feel' to any yard.
Bamboo varieties that lend well to 'legging up' include:
Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr' (pictured above)
Bambusa oldhamii 'Giant Clumping Timber Bamboo'
Bambusa ventricosa 'Buddha's Belly Bamboo'
Most of the Phylostachys species; 30 feet and taller (includes 'Black Bamboo' and Phylostachys bambusoides 'Castillon')
'Legging up' is an easy pruning technique that lends well to Asian-style and tropical-style gardens. It's good for the plants and shows off the beauty of the culms that would naturally be covered in foliage if untouched (like a bush). It's also a great way to keep your bamboo plant healthy as well. Give it a try and you'll be happy with the results.

Thanks for legging up info. How about with running bamboo. What is best way and time to dig up and separate runners to keep alive to transplant for a new plant.

The best time is February or March just before they start to shoot and send up new culms. I would propagate on a warmer, sunny winter day in the 60's with no wind. Make sure you cut out a generous root mass relative to the top mass. Put it in a container with soil, keep it watered well in a shady area for 2 to 3 months. Then bring it out in the sunlight conditions suited for the plant normally so that it can acclimate. Hope this helps. Thanks.

I've got a hedge of bambusa oldhamii growing very well. The majority of the clumps are standing at around 8 metres but there are a few rogue thick diameter culms shooting up to about 10-12 metres. I would like the whole hedge uniform at around 6 metres maximum. Whats the best way to achieve this? Pruning with a chainsaw? I sthis too difficult to achieve with this species?

Kris, I would wait for all culms to harden and use either a nice sharp pair of pruners or a sharp fine toothed pruning saw as you want to get a nice clean cut right above a culm node at the desired height. I would prune early around April on culms that are fully hardened. Good luck! Sean

Sean thanks for the great site! I'm new to this and I've learned so much. Just a quick question, I have black bamboo about 10-14' in pots and I have been told that it's ok to prune a shoot (as described here with the legging up technique)as long as all of the leaves have opened on the shoot, otherwise the shoot will die? Is this ok to do now in June or July if all the leaves have opened? Also, if a shoot has lost all of it's leaves is it possible for the shoot to develope new leaves next year? Thanks a lot, Craig

Because the weather is so nice and my hayfever so bad, I've had to stay inside a lot more than I would like to. It is terribly frustrating to look out the window into a sunny, warm day that I can't enjoy but at least it's given me a chance to catch up on my reading.
I just finished a great book called Walt Disney and the Quest for Community and I really enjoyed it. It is a quasi-academic look at the various influences that Walt Disney had when he came up with his concept for EPCOT (the city, not the park). Because Walt died before the ideas were fully developed, the book also speculates the direction those plans were headed and the possible issues that would arise. It really was a fascinating book – and as a special bonus, it even mentions my town of Milton Keynes. Not many other Disney books specifically mention the place where I live!
As soon as I finished that I picked up another fascinating Disney read, this one's called Realityland and it's a behind the scenes look at how Walt Disney World was planned and built. It proved to be a great follow-on read as it gives the story of how things actually went in building WDW and of course Epcot (the park this time, not the town!). Realityland has lots of stories and facts that I had never heard of, even though I have actually read a lot of similar books. I haven't finished it yet and I am really enjoying the read.
Whenever I read books that tell me all about the story of planning and construction of a place I know as well as WDW I love the fact that I am learning even more about this potentially useless subject… call me weird but I just like to know how it came about, how it works and even where it's all going. I like knowing useless things like how Bay Lake was drained, cleaned up and re-filled. I like knowing how the Contemporary hotel got its name and how the Venetian hotel never really happened.
But mainly it makes me wish I could travel back in time and see all these amazing things as they happened. I love looking through old park photos (and even have a good collection of old souvenir books from the 70s and 80s) and seeing how they have evolved or stayed the same. I just really, really wish I had been there and had a chance to be a part of opening day cast, of the team that organized the marketing before the parks even opened or even just be a visitor on the first day.
Perhaps this is why I like these sorts of books so much – they are the next best thing to a time machine. They give me an idea of what it would have been like to have been there when State Road 535 was a dangerous small road and not the wide road that I rode every day to work in Epcot. Or what it must have been like to have this enormous construction project where thousands of people all worked at once. I feel like I missed out on something because I was born too late.
Why Disney I hear you ask? I don't know actually, I've liked the company as far back as I can remember and was a huge factor in applying for work there. But to be honest I've read other equally fascinating business books from other big companies and there are also stories there that I love. Somehow though there seem to be an awful lot of books about Disney and I actually worked there so the fascination seems natural to me. Weird to others, I know, but bear with me – a girl's got to be into something!
So until time travel is invented and then available to normal people, books will have to do. I will fill my head with all this useless knowledge and then bore my family until they beg for mercy!

best medications for social anxiety online There are times when I find myself out of rest. Do you know that feeling? It is like when you are nervous, or just easily perturbed by things. This happens to me mostly when I am in traffic or waiting in line at the bank or grocery store. But the Lord has been showing me something recently-that rest is found in meekness. He explains it this way: that rest is a fruit or a product of meekness. Matt.11: 28, 29- "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Jesus is our example for meekness. But what exactly is meekness, just some term only used in the Bible?
http://walk-me.co.uk/?w=buy-40-mg-cymbalta-for-anxiety The dictionary defines meekness as "humbly patient, docile, overly submissive or compliant, gentle, kind". I usually think of the latter two words, gentle and kind, when I think of meekness, but I found the other definitions quite interesting. Think about this verse, Jesus tells us to take His "yoke", another word not used much these days. This tool was used for younger or weaker oxen; they would be "yoked" or put in a stock with an older, stronger ox and they would work together. Obviously the weaker would be submissive to the stronger, more experienced one as he would carry the bulk of the load. So to paraphrase Jesus here, He is saying, "Take my yoke, submit yourself to Me and I will teach you, because I am submitted to My Father; learn from Me, I know how to rest." We can be at rest by submitting to Him and learning from Him Who already is at rest.
http://loudspeaker.pl/?l=order-tetracycline-online-Canada So in order to be meek, we must be submissive-interesting. I think of Moses, who the Word says was the meekest man on earth. He was able to lead an entire nation into freedom, fasted for forty days and nights, receives the Ten Commandments, and much, much more because he could submit to God. All those years in the desert he was learning to be submissive, to be yoked together with the Lord. Jack Frost would say it this way: "Submission is being subject to the mission of another". Are we subject to someone else's mission, or are we all about our own mission, our own agenda? Of course, God's mission should come first, but what about our pastors, our leaders, our employers, even our husbands or wives? In order to be meek, we must be submissive.
http://premiumflooringsolutions.co.uk/?p=where-can-you-buy-lexapro-cheap-online As I have been dwelling on this revelation for a few days, I have found myself caught in traffic numerous times driving home as there has been a lot of construction work being done on Mayport Road. So as I sit in traffic in the 90 degree plus heat of Florida, I think about submission. "Oh, yes, Lord," I am thinking, "I am subject to my pastor; I am subject to my husband; I am subject to what my job requires", on and on, but then He gently speaks to me (because He is meek), "Cyndi, it is the attitude of heart, not just the outward submission I'm looking for. Look at yourself right now in traffic, how is your attitude about things?" Oh, boy. I was not "submitting" to my situation very well, especially when the car in front of me let about five cars in from the other lane, making me have to wait a third time on the turning light! So this is what meekness is all about! And, this is why I was not "resting" while I sat in traffic. Wow! I see the connection so well now! As I seek out ways to humble myself, submitting myself to situations and other people in my life, I grow in meekness which results in me living in a greater rest in everything. I don't have to be concerned about all the things going on around me; I can stay at rest in Father's love knowing that, as I am submitted to Him, He is in control of all things. We are yoked together. My rest is found in meekness.

A character analysis
We are all familiar with Jen; fancy schmancy New Yorker who was "corrupted at too early of an age" or something like that. She is/was Dawson's inexplicabe object of affection, a demi-god in his eyes. Of course, she was painfully nice, especially to Joey, who decided that being an unbeatable bitch would be the best course of action. I don't like Jen because she takes on too much personal responsibility for what happens. When she broke up with Dawson, she said something to the extent of her being to experienced for him. I distinctly remember her saying "I've never stayed home on a Saturday night". Well, over in Capeside, I'm pretty sure thats called a slut, but unfortunately we can't call Jen that.
It is that need to take on responsibility (oh we can't have a relationship because I....., we can't go because I....) and they aren't valid reasons. "I'm too experienced" is NOT a good reason to crush Dawson's fantasy world. But what annoys me most is her continually atheist assumtion. I respect her opinion, but she doesn't want to compromise. She won't go to church, why? Will she burn up if she enters a church? Why can't she go and avoid useless conflict with her grandmother? Because she is stubborn and childish. She uses big words, rejects God, and drinks coffee....ohhhhhh she's sophisticated. And the lemmings in Capeside agree....she must be sophisticated. But to us in the real world, we know she just likes to have her own way. There is an excellent page online,
I Hate Jen
, which outlines all the reasons they, well, hate Jen. Its quite interesting.....(thanks in order to Sara Barton for sending me the URL, I forgot to look for it).

From the late eighteenth till the mid-twentieth century, there was
content=a thriving "Bagdadi" Jewish community in Calcutta. Jewish traders from the Middle East prospered in British India. Originally Judeo-Arab in identity, they attained a Judeo-British one. Calcutta Bagdadi Jews settled in a cosmopolitan urban environment, met no prejudice, and excelled in all spheres of endeavor. They played a key role in the city's mercantile development, engaged in governance and civic affairs, built impressive synagogues, established schools, and constructed magnificent buildings. Though never more than 4,000 in number, the community was influential and thoroughly integrated in the fabric of Calcutta.
The 1940s were tumultuous years, when Baghdadi Jews from Burma, and many European Jews fleeing Nazi oppression found safe haven there. With…

As you grow older, your interests may suddenly change because you may discover that career prospects have to be practical, especially when you want to have a family. You want to be financially stable. In today's world, certain careers take off better than other careers. This means that they not only pay more but that they present more opportunities - like careers in engineering.
So whether you're about to enter college or have been indecisive about your options, consider engineering degrees today. There are a number of reasons why many young people opt to take engineering. Below are the top ones you might want to consider.
- An engineering course today could guarantee you a job when you graduate. You can thank the aging baby boomers in the power industry. Recent reports reveal that half of the engineers in that industry are set to retire in several years, leaving cushy positions in the power sector. Aside from the fact that many engineers are about to retire, certain industries are also fueling demand for engineers. The construction industry, for one, is seeing an increase in projects. This surge in demand is due to the country's aging infrastructure as well as the onslaught of super storms destroying many structures, or at the very least, leaving them unsafe. So more civil engineers are needed.
- With energy exploration on the rise, your highly specialized engineering degree is bound to get you a good position in a global company and have the highest median salary.
- These courses promise versatility, security and growth. These are not the only benefits to choosing an engineering degree today, though. Yes, there is more. Prospects for engineering careers continue to rise, with varying reports revealing hundreds and thousands of jobs will open up for different types of engineers - from mechanical engineers to electrical engineers. The need for more engineers with wide ranging skill sets is so enormous that companies are looking to different countries to fill the void. And with this ever-growing demand comes job security.
With engineering courses, not only are you guaranteed a job when you graduate from, but your degree could also land you a nonscientific job as many companies now ask for engineering background for investment banking and consulting jobs. The above points are just some of the reasons why it is much better to take engineering courses. If you want a stable and constantly growing career, make the right choice now.

AnonD-58527, 06 Sep 2012Nokia has avoided Android for a reason.
Lag, buggy and uncontrollable fragmentation.
Elops... moreplease think about this.iphone 5 will be out next week.apple has many followers. people who their phone even though ios is pathetic and useless.next blackberry is cooking a wanderfull os 10,when the phones come out next year many people will go back to blackberry.
Tizen powered phones will be out as well.another opensource os.a cross bride between android and meego.people, expecially geeks will switch to this os.
Modzila firefox os phones will hit the shelves in the first q of 2013
.The list goes on and on!
Now do you think windows has a chance to dispute the above and androd inclusive?no no no!not in this world!
AnonD-58567, 06 Sep 2012Lumias will attract kids with its colours.....but not gentle men.....haha see the ratings man. its design is rated 9.1. its not copied like your samjunk crap.
[deleted post]Nokia has avoided Android for a reason.
Lag, buggy and uncontrollable fragmentation.
Elops results will come, this time next year
haters will see.
Probably say most of the haters will be using a
Windows Phone anyway by then.
Sick of waiting for yet another version of
android that fails to truly fix lag this time.
And all the top markers promising it's be out in a month..
Wasn't Gingerbread supposed to be the lag fix?
Then Ice cream sandwich? Still no good.
Then Jellybean? Well people still say there is some lag there.
Heard now Peaches and Cream 4.2 is the real lag fix this time they think.
One GPU, One games store. Not forced crashes, Emulating Tergas and rooting. Bloated skins or CuSTOm ROMs to get a great user experience.
We are with you Elop and your with us
Well, what is missing in nokia lumia 920? Except memory card slot. Everything looks perfect. If u like it go for it, dont post non sense here.
AdamBoy64, 06 Sep 2012I think you're my favourite poster on this site. No sarcasm - it's always great reading your p... moreCool sir.
Microsoft and Nokia are going to be around a long time.For every Android sold Samsung pays MS $10
HTC as well.
Basically Paying for the development of Windows Phone 8 and Research 50 fold. Doesn't cost M$ a cent.
They couldn't care less if the market share takes
a few years. They're here for the long haul whether
people hate it or not.
nokia is never going to go back on top with just two phones.what the f....k is going through the bored members mind? Elop has faild ,fire the losser. And the man incharge of product development. I was especting at least four or five products.
Please nokia swallow your pride and use android as well.moving to windows and leaving meego was a stupid thing you did.you betrayed us and for doing so you are paying the price.
I have never liked windows never will.the list of my best mobile os goes as follows.
Blackberry os
Its a fact!
I can't seem to wrap my head around phankdroids problem, they're here trying to spoil the show for Nokia and wp8,I think there problem is 'they hate what they like and like what they hate'!
I would like to know if the phone has a direct connection to the pc/mac to copy files to the phone and if it has as explorer like we have it on the android?
Lumias will attract kids with its colours.....but not gentle men.....
Nokia faked their video about the Lumia 920. That video was taken with a professional camera. LOL! :P
AnonD-14379, 06 Sep 2012who cares if u buy two....you care. So you came here to comment
Sanna, 06 Sep 2012Samsung dont lies as Nokia Nokia connecting liars.samsuck dont have the balls to accept that they have copied everyone. Atleast nokia has the balls to accept their lie.
The magnificent 4.5" PureMotionHD+ ClearBlack display is 768 x 1280 pixels (and not 720p as said in the text)!! So it is better than HD! And with that ClearBlack goodness it is something to lust for!!!
Also, while I am disappointed that the OIS demo was not shot with the 920 (well it didn't say it was..), luckily the comparison with SGS3 that they showed during the presentation showed the OIS of 920. And I loved it!
bean, 06 Sep 2012...maybe you don't know or researched, this phone is the "PureView 2nd phase", and a... more... and you actually believe it??
well, i don't...
simply nokia WILL make the huge sensor at 808 added to WP OS, but they just couldn't do that now...
but they have been so outperform by the other OS'es, so they just force their way back by bringing some issues about pureview 2...
it just simply disapointing though, even after that video that is not their tech showed before...
don't get me as adroid fanboy or apple fanboy, i don't have both devices yet...
recently i've astonish by capability of 808 pureview have, too bad they just symbians...
and i think i won't get any nokia phone yet till they could combine the "real" pureview tech with oversampling (which is the best in my oppinion) together with WP OS, it will be so damn rock !!!
hmmmm oh wellcome back nokia ...ur still in the race .. hope the mobile king back this 1st stage ... best of luck with windows 8
death scythe, 06 Sep 2012it won't... this phone really disapointing me... a heavy phone with too large (at least f... more...maybe you don't know or researched, this phone is the "PureView 2nd phase", and also, Damian Dining told that PureView is not about pixel count...
Nokia should get the WP8 products quickly to market to capitalize on the hype, otherwise they shall loose out.
AnonD-58567, 06 Sep 2012Well.....u need to know how to hack android......but without knowing what is hacking i can cra... moreu cant even jailbreak my windows phone...how are u going to hack it? hacking android is easy, I just need five minutes, do some research what android is build on, u don't even know programming
AnonD-58527, 06 Sep 2012I think people that don't like it should buy it.
Then they'll learn to like tiles.I think you're my favourite poster on this site. No sarcasm - it's always great reading your posts.
May long live Nokia, and Windows foray into the mobile market.

I am often asked by guests what I do when I go on holiday and most of them are surprised to hear that my first choice is actually to head out into the bush – again!
For many South Africans, the Kruger National Park is a place where one can get away from it all and enjoy some down time in the bush and this is exactly what I did with my family for the last two nights.
The park is beautiful at the moment as the orange and yellow tones of autumn are dominating the scenery in the southern regions of the park. The chilly winter mornings and accompanying mist has arrived and makes each and every morning in the Kruger National Park a photographers dream.
Yesterday we spent the entire day in the park and saw 4 of the big five.
Amazingly it was the lions that eluded us on this occasion but it was just great being back in such a massive natural eco-system.
We get spoilt by being able to visit so many incredible destinations outside of South Africa and sometimes forget how much we have right here on our own doorstep!
Anyway, I'll be back in the office tomorrow but thought I would share a couple of images from home…
Want to experience Kruger park for yourself?
Why not join Marlon du Toit for a 4 or 8 Night photographic safari with just 4 guests per vehicle in a private concession in the southern part of Kruger National ParkFind out more...

Come to the 5th Annual Carroll Center Walk for INDEPENDENCE, their only event of the year. This event gives you an opportunity to walk the grounds, participate in unique and fun events, and meet all the amazing people who receive and provide services at the center. Additionally, guide dogs and family pets are welcome to walk. It's a great day with music, a cookout, and all kinds of games and giveaways. All of the activities offer unique opportunities for both sighted and visually impaired people to participate. For example, instead of baseball, they have beepball, where the ball "beeps" and this enables the kids with visual impairments to know when to swing. The same accessibility occurs with a putt putt golf game.
The day is designed to engage everyone and show kids, their friends, families, and the community how active and independent blind and visually impaired people can be. As neighbors within the community, this event will bring all who attend closer to understanding our differences.
This year, students 16 and under are free which means they can attend the event together, use teamwork to fundraise for their team, and even win prizes for participation. This day is the perfect combination of fun, education, inclusion, and community.
To donate or register head to carroll.org/walk.
May 21, 10 am – 2:00 pm

new Detonator Drivers Problem??
new Detonator Drivers Problem??
[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followups ] [ FAQ ] [ Back to Messages ]
Posted by Snood on December 05, 2001 at 14:44:43:
Ok I just installed the new 23.11 drivers for my card (Hercules:Geforce1/32mb). Now immediately after putting them in they caused quite a problem. The 2 most noticeable problems I see are 1. 16 to 32 bit color is messed up. I cant correctly switch between the 2 anymore. It looks as though it can only hit 16 bit color now. 2. All my little icon buttons, taskbar and inside other programs are inverted in color or just plain faded out. Has anyone had this similar issue? I have tried completely removing the drivers but it ends up the same way. Any help mucho appreciated!!

text: I find that when working with models, as opposed to actors, it's best to isolate key story moments to have some room to play and improvise. Getting a model to loosen up and have fun is actually a way to tap into his or her beauty. First, we find our key performance shot, usually a medium close up. Shooting on a longer lens through a window or doorway often creates an air of observational authenticity. I prefer, when possible, to avoid giving the actors hard "marks" to hit. I rather ask the cinematographer to react to their placement with the camera. I might create challenges for the actors and look for the visual moments right after something was communicated. There's still a relationship lingering in the "moment after". Once we have set the shot, we run the scene a couple of times to give the actor an idea of the rhythm.

"Acupuncture's effectiveness in aiding fertility has been dramatically illustrated in research over the past few years. Success rates with IVF (invitro fertilization) almost double with acupuncture treatments.I recommend acupuncture to all couples with impaired fertility especially those considering IVF."
Research over the past 50 years shows that impaired fertility has become increasingly common for couples in the United States. Somewhere between one and six and one and eleven couples have difficulty conceiving, including those with secondary infertility*. (some links to articles on the subject: 01, 02)
There are many possible explanations for this trend; the research on this and the Western medical approach is described well in "The Couples Guide to Infertility."
Traditional Chinese Medical Approach to fertility emphasizes regulating the menstrual cycle, reducing stress, warming the womb and nourishing the blood. Many women are surprised by the ease with which long-term menstrual cycle problems (pms, irregular period, pain & cramping, etc.) are resolved.
Treatments to promote male fertility are also available, including specific herbal formulas to promote sperm count and function. These accompany a long Chinese medical tradition for anti-aging and promoting virility.
A great information resource: Resolve

As with all his music Gronau always manages to add the element of surprise. The title of the album Mystical Morning tends to make you think it is going to be full of gentle sound and movement, but instead you greet the day with a blast of sound. In Gronau's words, 'turn this one up louder than normal' and bask in the sound, the beat of the bass and get set with positive vibes to take on the day.
Moving along to Sri Lanka the beat of drums adds to the flavour of the morning, evening or anytime during the day, as it keeps the energy levels up there. Guest drummer Ansgar Ueffink cuts loose with freedom and feeling.
Now that you are awake and ready to enjoy the moment the pulse slows with 'Mystical Morning', with delicate touches and electronic blends weaving throughout a range of differing instrumentational sounds.
As you move through the music you go from up tempo, to reflective, gentle and delicate, inspirational; all the emotions that can be felt in the course of a day. The delicate feel of a new day, the mystique of an early evening, the excitement of a new romance, the hope and joy when you let someone into your heart and the overwhelming feeling which comes from climbing to the top of that Mountain, whatever it may be, are all carefully placed there for you to enjoy.
Before you get too complacent, there are the rock beats that simply blast you out of your delicate and introspective state, encouraging you to cross that bridge, and keep on moving on.
As many of the pieces have been composed with specific places and moments in mind, you get a small look at the various segments of a life which have led to the creating of Mystical Moments, such as the Tribute to Emerson, Lake and Palmer, the reflection of the monkeys sitting beside the keyboard at a concert in Sri Lanka, a misty morning at Gronau's home in the country and the slightly spooky essence of the light behind the door in his cellar.
Once again a wonderful, enjoyable and interesting release from Gronau will reach out and appeal to all who love and enjoy a musical journey into the unexpected; this is Ewe Gronau at his best.
|Uwe Gronau

Today was my first day back to work after an amazing 6 week sabbatical. My job can be a bit stressful….well A LOT stressful. This past year has been especially draining, and I felt that maybe this sabbatical could be a way to re-group, get myself back together. The longer I was away from my job, the less I wanted to go back. I love being at home with my kids, but it's just not something that is feasible for my family right now. My job has great benefits, flexible time off, and let's face it, how many jobs give you a six week sabbatical every four years? I feel like I'm going through some kind of mid-life crisis or something. I've been trying to think about what I really want to do with my life…what type of career am I meant for? I may not know the answers…but one thing I do know, is that I can't keep going at my current job. I've been on the search for a new one. I have so many concerns, and decisions to make. As scared as I am to possibly start a new venture, I heard a song today that put things in perspective. It's called Be Okay by Oh Honey….some of the lyrics are:
"I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great?
Celebrate the feeling, celebrate the feeling.
Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay."
No matter where life takes me, I'll be okay.

J.J. Sola squeezes himself into a high school desk seemingly designed for someone half his size and is reminded of the numbers that have been a big part of his sometimes controversial high school basketball career.
At 6 feet 7 inches tall, the 235-pound senior forward led the county in scoring last season at Aliso Niguel, where he averaged 26.7 points a game.
He ranked sixth in rebounding (11.2) and shot 56% from the field.
Those are the statistics for which Sola is recognized, but he readily admits they are not the numbers people are talking about.
Sola, who has made an oral commitment to attend Loyola Marymount next fall, is playing this season for Capistrano Valley, his fourth high school in four years. Despite the ability to score seemingly at will, he has no Southern Section championship rings to show for his moves.

Wow! You ever get those days when you go around thinking its a different day? My story is a lot more elaborate than just forgetting what day it was
It all started yesterday. When Bilko and I got back from home (the thing bilko was talking about in my last post that I went to was a football game between my high school team and my cousin's team), I realized Nick was home for the weekend. I started texting him (mistake number 1), and seeing if he could come over when he was done fixing his car. Apparently his breaks were almost shot, so good thing he got it fixed. For some reason, I started missing him really really really badly. We just saw each other last weekend! What the heck was wrong with me? I blame "Aunt Flow" she just had to visit yesterday, and that he was only 20 minutes away verses 1.5 to 2 hours, is the only reason I can think of for me missing him so much. That and Sara and Mike were together and cuddling and tickling each other. They're engaged, and for some reason them cuddling bugged me last night. It never has before (ever!), and I have no idea what was up with me then. It won't bug me today, and (if they're reading this which I don't think they are), I'm totally not saying don't cuddle around me because that's dumb. Just because I am not able to be with my boyfriend doesn't mean I have to ruin it for them. Anyway... After lots of me bugging him (arg! I felt so friggin stupid and needy! I hate it when girls are like that!), Nick finally said "I'm coming" although he was absolutely exhausted and really just wanted to go to bed. It was like 9 something when he got here. I thought he was mad at me because he was like "this better be good if I'm getting up the energy to drive 20 minutes there and back tonight" or something similar, but he wasn't, he was just wondering why I was wanting to see him so badly. I honestly had no reason for him coming except I was being a rediculously sickeningly needy idiot, but he came and we talked and cuddled and went to get the new taco Bbell burido (yum!) and when he left around midnight I was fine.
Well I was really out of it when I woke up today, and for some reason thought it was Monday and I had to email a friend my part of the assignment so she could put it together and turn it in that day. I got up and emailed it to her (after making up 1 more question), at 6:30 this morning saying sorry I hadn't sent it sooner and hopefully it'd work (with tons of spelling mistakes haha!). Then I went to the bathroom and back to bed. When I finally got up around 9:45, I still thought it was Monday, and couldn't remember when I last took Bilko out the night before, so I took him out in my PJ's (I probably looked like crap lol), and came back in and fed him. Then I was like "why was Nick here on a Sunday night? He has class this morning..." Then it finally dawned on me that it was Sunday! Wow! arg!
If anybody read all of this, got any idea why I was acting so weird last night? I think it was a combination of everything above. O and for the record, I'm still a vergin and plan to keep it that way til Marage (this post kinda sounds otherwise) I blame college haha!

The reason we waited over five weeks to celebrate my special day is that we were waiting for the rainy weather to clear up. After a warm, sunny day yesterday you can see our efforts were in vain since the city's fog was relentless today, casting a cold gloom over the park.
At least my family's spirits remained cheery.
Here is my mom, dad, sister and bro-in-law carrying little Tilly. (Can you see her in the pink outfit and tiny feet hanging below his sweatshirt?)
Once inside, the large white greenhouse is a warm, tropical paradise.
Pathways lead into bright rooms with high glass ceilings.
Statuary and hidden benches peek out among the exotic plants.
The warm, humid air mixed with the cold fog outside conspired to frizz my hair...
but I'll bet this guy always looks dashing.
Different varieties of orchids were a big hit, posing for their photo ops from tourists everywhere.

Finally doing all the touristy stuff today! All I really want to see is the Bean.
Second Breakfast:
Late Lunch at Cafecito — E Congress Pkwy, Chicago, IL:
What a brilliant combination. I need to make this, except I would have preferred better guava jam. This tasted like jelly.
Snack from Starbucks — N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL:
Probably the best matcha green tea latte I've had from Starbucks. While sweet, I could drink more than a quarter of the cup and taste the matcha! Look at how green that beverage is!
Late Dinner while watching Funny People (2009):

Nike Air VaporMax Plus is usually a new amalgam design
This Museum connected with Modern Fine art (MoMA) throughout NYC plus Vigil Abloh will be teaming through to an future Nike Air Force ONE project designed by Yoshio Taniguchi. Details in the design have not been provided but leaked pictures show this sneaker to sport the same theme for the previous OFF-WHITE x Nike Air Force ONE Low discharge. This version is shaded in dark with

metallic magical accents, along with the AI branding around the heels. An image of the shoebox furthermore reveals that upcoming effort with MoMA.
The Nike Air VaporMax Plus is usually a new amalgam design, and it's shedding in a ton of colorways after this weeks time. One of those is this specific Cargo Khaki edition both in men's along with women's sizing. Basically covered in olive green across it is neoprene upper considering the Air Maximum Plus signature bank palm tree-inspired man-made overlays, the boot is contrasted having hits involving gold around the midsole though a full-length VaporMax singular unit

completes the look altogether.
Nike's traditional tennis boot from 1992 created its comeback this particular past trip season, as well as Nike Grandstand 2 might be dropping within a more quality Pinnacle iteration keeping this All Through Logo details. Sporting a complete white leather upper, the actual shoe is highlighted along with Nike trademarks embossed over its complete base, while titanium silver wide lace locks

add a nice contrasting hint. A partner finder white rubberized sole and laces completes the theory altogether.
Paul George's upcoming signature sneaker with the Nike PG 2 was simply officially presented, and it's these days previewed around an OKC colorway. The sneaker in actual fact more sleeker versus the first version which includes a mesh top and suede overlays under the heel. A bootie sock-like collar is really a new addition into the style. Soar Air padding, Swoosh logos to the toe as well as midsole, Paul George's logo for the tongues and also a marbled

I want to make a big ol' gooey chocolate cake in a skillet for a dinner party this coming friday -- think molten chocolate cake, en masse. any advice/thoughts/recipes? thank you xx
This might be a tall order. Molten chocolate cakes are ordinarily made in small vessels like ramekins or muffin tins. With a big pan like a skillet, when the outside was set you'd still have a large mass of very wet batter in the middle. It might taste good, but it'd be difficult to serve.
Maybe you could make it work with a tube pan?
This might work for you:
I would recommend this one http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/recipes/34/chocolate-self-saucing-pudding
This isn't fancy, but I'd make brownies in the skillet, rather than in the usual square brownie pan. Under-bake; then serve in pie-piece-shaped wedges. Middle will be gooey. You can always up the flavor (so that it is not so familiar as brownie) by adding coffee or orange or a liqueur.

Was obvious last weekend that the guys are exhausted, the injuries have taken their toll on the guys that are churned out every week.

Why has the U. S. House of Representatives' very busy Committee on Oversight and Government Reform so far spent two days holding hearings on a Major League Baseball scandal? Why did Congress bless the decision of Commissioner Bud Selig to hire former U. S. Senator George Mitchell to prepare a report ("The Illegal Use of Steroids in Major League Baseball") of over 400 pages at a cost estimated at as much as $20 million? It's not easy to come up with a convincing and satisfactory answer.
The Committee, established way back in 1816, is the main investigative committee in the House. It's charged with investigating any federal program and any matter with federal policy implications. As one of the most influential and powerful committees in the House, its chairman, currently Democrat Henry Waxman from California, is the only committee chairman in the House who has the authority to issue subpoenas without a Committee vote.
The Committee has 5 sub-committees: Domestic Policy; Federal Workforce, Postal Service, and the District of Columbia; Government Management, Organization, and Procurement; Information Policy, Census, and National Archives; and National Security and Foreign Affairs. None of them seem to cover baseball, sports in general or even entertainment. It's not obvious to me which sub-committee would have jurisdiction. Perhaps it's Domestic Policy. In recent years the Committee has held hearings on such other issues as Administration contracts entered into for reconstruction and development in Iraq involving tens of billions; allegations of fraud, waste and abuse at the new U. S., Embassy in Iraq; and the financial risks of building new coal-fired power plants without emissions controls for greenhouse gases.
The answers to the two questions in the first paragraph don't seem at all compelling to me, but one apparent answer is because baseball is considered the "national sport", baseball is a multi-billion dollar industry, there are tens of millions of serious baseball fans in the country interested in the scandal; and, finally, a great many politicians are not good at setting legititmate priorities. The second answer, as I understand it, relates directly to national anti-trust legislation.
Any business that operates across state borders and therefore participates in interstate commerce, like baseball, is subject to antitrust legislation covered in the historically important Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 and the Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914. For reasons associated with the above answer, baseball has been exempt from the anti-trust laws since 1922, when the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in its favor in the case of a Baltimore baseball club and National Baseball Clubs, representing the owners of all the professional baseball teams at the time. By virtue of the exemption, plus decades of reluctance by various courts to overrule, baseball is the only sport or other business that has an exemption to the extent that it does.
Nevertheless, I submit that the Committee can find much better things to do with the taxpayers' representatives and money. One more logical reform they could spend time on and implement quickly would be to reduce the number of members on the Committee, currently totaling 41 (23 Democrats and 18 Republicans). How about prioritizing a smaller number of more important investigative issues and dealing with these with,
for example, a Committee limited to the 20 most experienced and productive members and a budget 50% smaller?

Waxman is a partisan power hungry politician who has not presented any positive legislation since becoming committee chairman. Waste money? "Who cares" is the attitude of liberal politicians like Waxman since it is only tax payers' money.

There's something a bit paradoxical about auto racing in New York. We are genetically predisposed to be wary of automobile ownership at all -- driving cars for sport strikes many of us as positively ludicrous (this is reinforced by the fact that traffic conditions ensure that few New Yorkers actually see one move faster than 30 miles per hour) -- yet the metropolitan area is home to some of the best vintage and amateur-racing events around. We asked David E. Davis Jr., editor of Automobile magazine, for his favorite. "The Labor Day weekend Dodge Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park Lakeville, Connecticut; 860-435-5000 is an absolutely terrific vintage-car event." He's also a fan of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) races that run throughout the summer. Now, if you could just figure out a way to drive there . . .

Urgathoa(pronounced oor-gah-THO-ah) is the goddess of physical excess, disease, and the undead. She is mostly worshiped by dark necromancers and the undead. Sometimes those wishing to become undead and those who live gluttonous lifestyles make supplication to her. On occasion, folk infected with plagues make offerings to Urgathoa.
There are stories that suggest that Urgathoa was once a hedonistic mortal female. Upon her death, she fled Pharasma's Boneyard and returned to Golarion, making her the Great Beyond's first undead creature. Her return to the mortal world is said to be the origin of disease.
Her sacred text is entitled Serving Your Hunger.

"It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom."Pay attention to relationships at home, in your community of faith, and at work. Keep fantasy under control.

Get Real!
Let me begin by saying that I love sports. I thoroughly enjoy watching baseball and college football. I like to bowl and play basketball, but rarely have time to do so. As I've mentioned, I run several times a week. My favorite baseball team is having a great season so far; I'm hoping they make it through the playoffs and win the World Series. Several years ago, I yielded to my curiosity and put together a team in a fantasy baseball league. It was fun, but not necessarily tied to the actual teams playing on the field, just the performance of individual players. I realized after two seasons that that the fantasy league was taking time away from my marriage and preparation for my job. The fantasy league was just that - fantasy! Yet it asserted an impact on my real life. I stopped playing fantasy sports. A lot of people still play fantasy sports. Whole magazines and radio stations are devoted to helping them succeed. If people can manage their time and relationships well, no problem exists. Be alert, however, to what happens in real life. I don't usually quote from The Message paraphrase of the Bible, but its rendition of a passage in Galatians 5 hits the mark in this discussion:

What parents must know now: '13 Reasons Why,' or why more youngsters are committing suicide
Over the last year, there's been an undeniable rise in the number of suicides—attempted and completed—among Filipino children and young adults.
The most vulnerable age group is 18-24, but even among younger children, the numbers are rising.
Though there are many reasons for the increase in suicide incidence, there are factors that are still within parental control.
First is exposure to media content that can be potentially harmful.
The TV show, "13 Reasons Why," produced by Netflix, is an immensely popular series worldwide. It tackles the subjects of rape, sexual assault and suicide.
It is highly advised that children and teenagers, and even young adults whose behavior could be triggered by disturbing scenes, refrain from watching this show.
Leading psychiatrist and trauma specialist June Pagaduan Lopez says that the concept of suicide has been oversimplified by the producers and director of "13 Reasons Why."
"The show gives a very distorted and inaccurate depiction of suicidal persons, as well as the factors that push people to commit suicide," she says.
"The series presents suicide in a sensational manner and is replete with unnecessary and highly disturbing scenes"—scenes that could potentially disturb anyone with suicidal thoughts.
Serious intent
Lopez gives a clear definition of suicide:
"It is the serious intent of someone desperately dealing with untreated or treatment-resistant depression, usually due to a biochemical problem, as scientific evidence has proven. It can also be genetic.
"Suicide, in most cases, could be avoided if the depression is treated or the environmental factors addressed.
"Depressive individuals are very vulnerable to wrong ideas, such as those presented in the TV series. The copycat incidences or suicide contagion associated with the series have been lamented by various mental health professionals like the Australian and Canadian Mental Health Associations."
What can be done to avert problems if a young person has seen the series?
"Parents need to watch out! Know what your children are doing and watching online. If you can't dissuade your teener from watching this series, make sure you watch it with them and have the proper knowledge to tell them what is right."
It will also help to use the series as a catalyst for discussing mental health issues within the home. Many young people are afraid to speak up when they have harmful or suicidal thoughts for fear of being judged or invalidated.
Many Filipino families still do not recognize the reality of depression and how genetics plays a huge role in many mental health issues.
It will be very helpful to know if your family has a history of depression, anxiety, bipolar illness or schizophrenia. There is no shame in admitting it.
Mental health issues are just like cardiac problems, diabetes, hypertension or other illnesses. Recognize it for what it is, treat it, change your lifestyle as required, and provide the support needed to improve the condition. When in doubt, seek professional help.
The second factor shown to influence potentially negative thoughts is the amount of screen time children spend on their gadgets and on social media.
Several studies have shown that too much screen time disrupts sleep, desynchronizes the body clock, and desensitizes the brain's reward system.
Light at night from electronic gadgets has been linked to depression and suicide in recent studies. Parents are now encouraged to restrict electronics use in the bedroom, especially an hour before bedtime.
The Blue Whale
Which now brings me to a question parents have asked me about suicide ideation and attempts.
There is a game called the Blue Whale that apparently runs for 50 days, and ends with the game administrator instructing the child to take his or her own life. The first time I heard about it, I thought it was bizarre. Apparently, the game does exist.
Andrew Rossow, an internet lawyer, wrote in an article on Forbes.com that in the Blue Whale challenge, tactics are well thought out and planned.
"The administrator surveys and learns about their victim—through their status updates, daily postings, and even personal information they have available in their profiles. When the victim starts the challenge, the platform they are using (device and internet browser) is supposedly infected with malware and viruses that the administrator places there.
"Believing the malware to be infected, the victims are held hostage with hopes their information and photos are not publicly released. Ultimately, it's the soon-to-be victim's decision whether or not to play."
It's not an app or a physical game that can be bought online.
Rossow describes how victims are chosen. "The victim is recruited/invited through social media platforms or even over the phone. The best way to avoid being brought into this world is to change your privacy settings on your online accounts, so only you or your family/close friends can see your profile.
"Additionally, don't accept friend requests from people you don't know. Lastly, the old adage, 'Don't talk to strangers,' still holds true—don't answer calls from people you don't know, and this is a person from one end of a phone or a computer, forcing someone they have never met, on the other side of that device, to seriously harm themselves, and ultimately, fatally injure themselves."
It's a much more challenging reality now for parents. The world and ever-changing technology, and the evil that lurks in spaces we cannot see, require a more savvy and sensitive kind of parenting.
In the same way that more prayers are needed for our children to thwart evil, we also need to read more, learn more and stay more engaged in the lives of those we love.
