There are quite a few choices out there when it comes to selecting docklines. It's important to consider the type of docking and rafting you do. It helps to have two sets of docklines — a temporary set to use while you are away from your permanent slip and a set for your permanent slip, unless you're concerned about someone taking those lines while you're away.
Nylon is a strong, durable synthetic and is exceptionally well suited for docklines. You will commonly see it in either Laid or Braid Construction.
Laid line is composed of three or more twisted strands, a design that has withstood the test of time. Although it can kink, making it awkward to coil, and stretch more than braid, three-strand twisted line is very strong, resistant to abrasion and snagging, and offers good value. But some stranded nylon is quite soft in isn't very suitable for use aboard. This is frequently sold in hardware stores, is relatively very inexpensive, and is usually not marked for marine use.
Braided line is composed of many small strands, making it extremely strong and flexible. It runs smoothly, will not kink or rotate, and is easier on the hands. These small strands wear evenly, making braided line more resistant to chafe from pilings and cleats-the greatest threat to healthy docklines. However braided lines are more likely than laid line to catch on piling splinters or other snags and thereby become damaged to some degree. They're often available in a selection of colors
Factory-spliced eyes make sense. The splice, formed by interweaving parts of the rope, creates a permanent eye while sacrificing little of the line's inherent strength. It cannot "undo" as can knots used to form the eye. You could splice the line yourself. For laid line, splicing is simple, but braid requires a special fid and some practice.
How Big?
Boats under 20' generally use 3/8" line; 20-30' boats, 1/2" line; 30-40' boats, 5/8"; and boats over 40', 3/4". If your boat is heavier than average, or has greater windage, you may want to choose the next larger size. Too much is far better than too little.
How Long?
As a general rule docklines should equal two-thirds of your boat's overall length. Spring lines should be considerably longer. You will need to be able to use these to bring your boat alongside while docking. You may need to pay the spring line out to ease your boat to a stop in the right position and as the helmsperson brings the boat alongside. This is an art in itself, but very important. You should have lines of various lengths available to use depending on the circumstances as you come alongside a dock and the pilings and cleats on the dock. The shortest should be approximately the same length as your boat.
How to Use Them?
Unless your boat is unusually heavy or will be subjected to severe conditions, a bow line, stern line, and at least two spring lines are recommended. Spring lines keep the boat snugly near the dock, preventing it from moving fore or aft, while allowing for the rise and fall of the tide. Of course, if your permanent slip has outboard pilings as well, you'll need an additional bow and stern line. You should also have enough lines to double up when expecting very bad weather.
How Many?
If you're away from the boat much of the time, lines should be longer to allow for high water from storms and tides. Short lines are a prime cause of damage. Also, put the eye end of your dock lines around the cleat, bitt, etc. aboard, if you'll be adjusting lines from the dock. Conversely, if you spend most of your time aboard, put the eye around the fitting or piling ashore and adjust from the boat. TideMinders ™ are balls with holes in them through which you can string the piling end of your line so that the line will ride up and down on the piling with tides or storm surges. You may find them very helpful.
How to Care for Them?
Chafe is the nemesis of any line (good or bad). Although inevitable, it's not uncontrollable. In a permanent docking arrangement, the chafe problem is most chronic. First, chafe-proof your boat as you would childproof your home. Examine chocks, cleats, bitts, posts, and other hardware for rough edges. Next, consider how you lead the lines, being careful to avoid acute angles, which present opportunities for abrasion. Last, get defensive. Chafe protection can range from heavy cloth such as old blue jeans wrapped around the line at the point of contact to ready made chafe guards attached to the line where it passes through the chocks. Research has shown that chafing material that doesn't let moisture and air into the line can result in excessive heat buildup as the line moves back and forth within the material. Therefore, it would be important to avoid using materials that can do this, such as a plastic or rubber hose. TideMinders help avoid chafe where the line goes around the pilings. Whether you're in your permanent slip, or just passing through, regularly check the condition of your lines for signs of wear. The investment in your boat could depend on it.

The apps from your phone in your car
Access your smartphone's screen, selected apps, maps, and music through App-Connect on your car's touchscreen and Voice Control. You can do this thanks to three innovative technologies: Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™and MirrorLink® interfaces.
(Only available with the optional Composition Media radio system or Discover Media Satellite Navigation).
1. App-Connect is compatible for selected apps with the latest smartphone versions of iOS and Android, active data service, and connection cable (sold separately)
Infotainment on command
With Voice Control you can control your phone, navigation, and audio with your voice - without taking your hands off the steering wheel. (Only available with Discover Media radio system).
A welcome wake-up call
This potentially life-saving system continually evaluates steering movements and other independent signals, and if fatigue is detected, warns the driver with an alarm, and recommends the driver take a break on the Multi-Function display.
2.Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
Driver Assistance-Prevent follow-on collisions
When the airbag sensors detect a collision, this state-of-the-art system applies the brakes to slow down the vehicle so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and brake lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.
It's all uphill from here, in a good way
This intelligent feature allows you to make a hill start without the vehicle rolling back. If you're on an incline greater than 5 per cent, the system will hold your car stationary for 1.5 seconds after the foot brake is released by temporarily locking the brake pressure.
A good steer on safety
Helps you stay in control of your vehicle by preventing under or over steering. If your vehicle starts to skid, the Electronic Stabilisation Programme will apply the brakes to individual wheels and adjust the engine's power output to correct the problem.
The best possible protection
The Transporter Cab has airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as front side and head airbags. These are even available when the front bench seat is fitted, so if something does go wrong, you'll be glad you're in a Transporter.
Never lose control around corners
When cornering, this valuable safety system responds to the load relief at the front wheel on the inside of a corner, which improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer.
The powerful Transporter Single Cab chassis comes with 103kW of power and 340Nm of torque3.
3. Fuel consumption figures according to Australia Design Rule (ADR) 81/02 derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition and accessories fitted, will in practice in the real world lead to figures which generally differ from those advertised. Advertised figures are meant for comparison amongst vehicles only.
Boasting a bi-Turbo with up to 132kW and 400Nm of torque3, the Dual Cab with TDI400 delivers an impressive amount of grunt to carry around the troops and equipment.

He still had the moment filed away in his memory.
Is the meaning of the sentence I wrote widely understood?
Should that sentence be used in a particular context (e.g., when writing a book)?
The sentence sounds fine grammatically, it's perfectly understandable, and it evokes some nice imagery that could be useful for characterization - i.e. this person is perhaps more organized (and/or rigid) than most.
Your usage sounds fine.
Though I wouldn't say use it if I talked about my first kiss, for example.
Just be aware that the meaning is subjective. The other answers here so far indicate that for some people, "filed away" means something along the lines of "alphabetised, categorised, taxonomically classified, and available for instant retrieval". For me, it means "I can find it if I really have to, but it'll be a chore at best". I guess it depends on whether you're a clean desk or a messy desk. I live in heaps, bundles and piles; the only things straightened away are things I'm pretty sure I won't be needing any time soon.
There is nothing wrong with your sentence. It is a perfect way to put up the unforgettable / everlasting event stored in ones memory. The event might be a pleasing one or something that is too bad, but in both context, the usage of your sentence brings its importance to the person involved.
Grammatically, your usage is fine. It would be helpful to have more context. "Filed away" means something like "Not immediately acted upon, but remembered for future reference or activity". The high school jock embarrassed me in biology class, so I filed away the incident so I could bring it up at our ten-year reunion when he was pumping gas for a living.

Federal health regulators are urging parents to keep their children on attention deficit drugs like Ritalin and Adderall, despite new evidence from a government-backed study that the stimulants can increase the risk of sudden death.
Published Monday in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the study suggests a link between use of the stimulant drugs and sudden death in children and adolescents. The drugs, used to treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, already carry warnings about risks of heart attack and stroke in children with underlying heart conditions, but researchers have questioned whether they pose the same risks to children without those problems.
Healthy children taking the medications were more likely to die suddenly for unexplained reasons than those not taking the drugs, according to the study from the National Institute of Mental Health.
The study was partially funded by the Food and Drug Administration, but agency experts said its methods — which relied on interviews with parents and physicians years after the children's deaths — may have caused errors.
"Since the deaths occurred a long time ago, all of this depended on the memory of people — relatives and physicians — involved with the victims," said Dr. Robert Temple, the FDA's director of drug review.
The agency urges parents to discuss safety concerns with their doctor, but to keep children on the treatments.
The study compared a sample of 564 children who died of unexplained causes to 564 children who were killed in car accidents. Among the unexplained deaths, 10 children were taking an ADHD drug compared with two of the patients killed in car accidents.
The researchers used car accident victims as a comparison group because sudden childhood deaths are rare and difficult to track.
"While the data have limitations that preclude a definitive conclusion, our findings draw attention to the potential risks of stimulant medications for children and adolescents," the authors conclude.
But the FDA said it is collecting data for a larger, more in-depth study of the drugs that should be completed by the fall.
"We're not sure this study tells us something we didn't know," Temple said of Monday's publication. "We didn't think it gave an unequivocal answer as to whether there is such a risk."
About 2.5 million U.S. children currently take drugs for ADHD, according to government researchers. The American Heart Association recommends doctors consider giving children echocardiograms before starting them on ADHD drugs, though experts stress there is little hard data about the drugs' risks.
Sales of the drugs topped $4.8 billion last year, according to health care analysis firm IMS Health. The most popular brands include Shire's Adderall, Johnson & Johnson's Concerta and Novartis' Ritalin.

Rockies place CarGo on 15-day disabled list
PHOENIX -- Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez's left knee tendinitis is the official reason he has been placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, but an accumulation of rough breaks in a difficult season could be blamed as well.
The hope still is for Gonzalez to return before season's end, but a lot of that depends on what turns out as the best treatment plan for the tendinitis. The Rockies recalled first baseman Ben Paulsen from Triple-A Colorado Springs in a corresponding move.
Gonzalez has been beaten down by a year that began with an appendectomy in January, a benign tumor in his left index finger that began affecting him in January and was removed in June, a left calf contusion and a twisted right ankle two weeks ago.
Add to that the fact he and his wife, Indonesia, welcomed twins born at 30 weeks in June, and just brought one of them home a few days ago, and it's more than typical baseball pains.
"CarGo is dealing with a lot right now," Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger said. "It's multiple injuries. You can see mental stress on him. You can see physical stress. Basically there comes a point in time when he's not performing at the rate he wants to. He feels bad. Walt [Weiss, the manager] feels bad putting him in the lineup.
"We made the decision, not just me making the decision, that he needs to take time off. He's going back home. We're going to get that ankle right. We know he's got patella tendinitis he's been dealing with. We know that thing isn't going away overnight or even in a week, and we'll get other opinions. But, again, we don't need other opinions. We know how to handle this situation."
The question with the tendinitis is if the normal rest and rehab will improve it, or will Gonzalez and the Rockies treat it with other techniques, such as plasma-rich platelets or stem-cell treatment. The problem with those is they would likely end his year.
"There are multiple ways of handling that, but when these guys sign a contract, it's for the full year," Dugger said. "Unfortunately, that's part of our job to understand. This is a business and a sport. If we think he's going to get worse or at greater risk for injuring himself, then we're taking him out just like we did the other night. Mentally, he couldn't handle it, and that's because physically his body is breaking down. He's had a rough go."
The left knee tendinitis showed up last year, and was an underlying concern when a strained ligament in his right middle finger was scuttling the second half of his season.
With the somewhat chronic nature of the injury, it could be that Gonzalez will have to adjust his in-season and offseason daily routines to control the problem. It's questionable how realistic an addition to his routine would have been this year, when he was spending pregame and postgame time at the hospital with his wife and his child, and when he had multiple other injuries.
The condition of the knee hasn't been consistent, and that factor has made deciding whether to play him in a given game or place him on the DL a difficult one for Weiss and the Rockies.
"We felt like if it got to a point where it wasn't getting any better or it was defeating the purpose, sending him out there, then we'd put him on the DL," Weiss said. "We'll give him some time and maybe his knee will calm down.
"I'd like to see him back. I don't like to see players shut down the last part of the season. It's important to be out there playing and going into the offseason with a healthy mindset and some confidence, as opposed to going to the offseason thinking about rehab. Hopefully, we see him back on the field before it's all over with."

Would like to thank Saket and izenbridge for helping me achieve the 70 SEUs for the CSP application process.
When applying for CSP i had a few questions so documenting those below so that others can gain from it.
The first question was with respect to eligibility.
So to apply to become a CSP, one must satisfy three eligibility criteria -
1) Be a current holder of an active CSM, CSPO, or CSD credential.
2) Have a minimum of 36 months of successful Agile/Scrum work experience gained within the past 5 years implementing Scrum inside organizations as team member, product owner, ScrumMaster, or "Other." (Provide details for "Other" in the "How did you use Scrum on this job" field at the bottom of the Work Experience section of your profile page. Align your experience to the basic Scrum roles as much as possible.)
3) Gather and submit 70 Scrum Education Units (SEUs) from the past three years.
Second was with respect to the application process and the supporting documents/activities to be performed for becoming a CSP. At a high level one needs to perform the following:
1) Achieve 70 SEUs. This is well documented in the forum.
2) Ensure the SEUs earned are reflected in scrum alliance page. Verify the category/sub- category under which the SEUs have been added is correct and so the number of hours(1 hour is equivalent to 1 SEU)
Normally this is added by the trainer from whom one had taken the course. Alternatively it can be added manually. For reading, videos, webinars this needs to be done manually.
3) Fill in all the fields for the activity added with emphasis on field 'outcome' where in one has to write on How has this course or coaching helped us develop as a Scrum practitioner. Be as descriptive as you can using scrum/agile keywords that you learnt from the course(activity) and how it helped you grow as a scrum master.
4) Complete your profile in scrum alliance.
a) write a biography ranging from 500 to 2000 characters. Here one needs to highlight the high points of ones career without going too much into detail about the specifics.
b) write a brief description of the projects worked on. For applying for CSP one needs to have worked in a scrum role(scrum master, product owner, team) for atleast 3 years in the last 5 years. Hence, we need to fill in at least 3 years of scrum projects in the last 5 years we have worked on, filling in other project details is optional. Here again we need to come up with a write up on how our experience in our project supports our case of becoming a scrum professional.
c) contact details of person who can verify the scrum experience
5) There would be an application link for applying to CSP on your scrum alliance dashboard.
a) Associate the SEUs with this application for CSP. Though 70 SEUs are required for the CSP application , however, one can associate more than 70 SEUs as well. Also, ensure that the category constraints are honored. Like the maximum E category SEUs that can be associated with the application are 15, so even if you associate 20 only 15 would be considered.
b) a write up
6) Apply by paying a fees of 100 US dollars. A support ticket would be generated where in you can track the progress of your application.
Scrum alliance would be reviewing your application and can reach out to you for further details. Normally it takes 1-3 weeks for them to get back.
7) If all goes fine you would get a CSP application approval mail.
8 ) Accept the agreement and pay 150 US dollars and one becomes a CSP professional.

Ove the last few months there are have been many different cases of sexual harassment and misconduct in the news. One of the first big names was film producer Harvey Weinstein. He was the head of Miramax films. He was accused of sexual misconduct by actresses like Angelina Jolie,Ashley Judd,Mira Sorvino,Lupita Nyongo ,Salma Hayek and Gwyneth Paltrow. But it didn't stop there. Other male celebrities were soon called out as well. Men like Comedian Louis CK,Richard Dreyfuss,Matt Lauer,Charlie Rose,Dustin Hoffman,Jeremy Piven,Sylvester Stallone,Ben Affleck,Tom Sizemore,director James Toback,Steven Seagal,singer Nick Carter,director Bryan Singer,President George Bush and Kevin Spacey. The relevant names were mostly white men. But now they seem to be coming after black men as well. Aside from Bill Cosby,which was awhile back. Lately there have been sexual misconduct accusations against television host Tavis Smiley,Def Jam music pioneer Russell Simmons,NFL player Donovan McNabb,NFL player Marshall Faulk among others.
In this video(above) Tavis Smiley denied the accusations. Russell Simmons also said that he's innocent and believes he's being set up. There is also talk that this is all about attacking divine masculinity energy and replacing it with homosexual and transgenders. There could be some truth to this. There are so many accusations coming out it seems very orchestrated. I know racist Hollywood never misses a chance to degrade the black male image. But the fact that they are doing this to famous white men as well makes me wonder if there's a larger issue at play. I know that the Hollywood/music industry is very demonic and satanic. Many of these powerful men most likely did homosexual acts to get to that level of success. I highly doubt that the media cares about the mistreatment of women. In Hollywood the casting couch has existed forever. These big name producers have always told women they had to sleep with them to get big movie parts. So abuse of power in high places is nothing new. So what is the real agenda?Maybe these rich men have ran out of time. maybe it's time to pay the piper. Is this a masonic ritual? Are the Zionist elite cleaning house? Did any of these men break an oath? I'm curious to know your thoughts.

Precious time is often lost through the handling of Point Of Sale . Similarly, the more cash is handled the greater the security risk in stores. Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Point Of Sale ?
It can be challenging to find the right Point of Sale software system for your business. This article provides a checklist of features you should consider when making your decision. In part one, we will look at point-of-sale, customer tracking, and security features.
Point of Sale
This is the heart of a POS system. Does it feature an intuitive user interface? Will you be able to train employees quickly? Can you customize the software for your unique needs? Features to look for:

POS - Point of Sale Explained
An organized enterprise does not exist in a vacuum. Rather, it is dependent on its external environment. It is a humble part of many systems, such as its own industry, the economy, and society as a whole. Thus, the enterprise receives various inputs, changes them somehow, and releases the outputs to the environment.
However, this simple model needs to be expanded and developed into a model of operational management that indicates how the various inputs are transformed through the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. Clearly, an open system model that includes interactions between the enterprise and its external environment must describe Point of Sale systems.
One should never forget that the customer, who is the reason for the existence of virtually all businesses, is outside a company. It is through the Point of Sale systems that the needs of customers are identified; this knowledge enables the firm to provide products and services at a profit.
Retail Point Of Sale
There are a number of channels of distribution available to the producer, which may be employed by him to bring his products to the market and use point of sale software. Consumer goods may be distributed generally through channels, in each of which the manufacturers may use the sales branch or sales office as the additional alternative. One of the channels used is Producer-Consumer, where no middleman is involved. Sales are made from house to house or by direct mail.
A second channel is Producer-Retailer-Consumer, by which goods may be purchased directly from manufacturers. Retail stores may also be opened by manufacturers by this channel.
A stockist or distributor or wholesaler is also a large sized operator but not on par with the marketer or sole selling agent in level, size and territory of operation. Stock holding and sub-distribution, as per the policies laid down by the manufacturers or the marketers, are the main functions of stockists/distributors pos retail equipment.

New Year's Blessings
* New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. - Hamilton Wright Mabie
* Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true. - Alfred Lord Tennyson
* Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
* I will seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion. I will seek to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy and not rich. I will study hard, think quietly, talk gently, and act frankly. I will listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with an open heart. I will bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely await occasions and hurry never. In a word I will let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. - William Ellery Channing
* We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives, not looking for flaws, but for potential. - Ellen Goodman
* The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul. - G.K. Chesterton
New Year's Poems
Happy New Year!!
A New Years toast to love and laughter
and happily ever after
A health to you, a wealth to you,
And the best that life can give to you.
Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening and
Live every day as if it were your last. - Anonymous
Auld Lang Syne
by Robert Burns
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne
We two hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne
And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of a year. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Funny New Year's Resolutions
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things. - John Burroughs
* But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year old habits. - Andre Gide
* I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second. - Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary
* He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool. - F. M. Knowles, A Cheerful Year Book
* Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they believe are negative. A majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures. This year I challenge you to a new resolution. I challenge you to just be yourself. - Aisha Elderwyn
* For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. - T. S. Eliot
* Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better man. - Benjamin Franklin
* Your Merry Christmas may depend on what others do for you. But your Happy New Year depends on what you do for others. - Anonymous
* We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called "Opportunity" and its first chapter is New Year's Day. - Edith Lovejoy Pierce
It is an amusing human observation that we are a bundle of paradoxes and contradictions, shifting so often, that it can be so swift as to exist on an hourly basis. Talk about change your mind. And, every year, when the new year is beginning, we think about "time." We think about how we have wasted it or not enjoyed enough of it to do all things we wanted to do.
Even a temporal calendar is an attempt to grab a hold of ourselves as if to tame our temperaments. Creating artificial time of the past and the future - rather than living fully awake in the present with a lot less stress - seems to be the curse humanity has called down upon ourselves. It is ludicrous, I mean, who in their right mind chooses to curse themselves? Silly.
Yet, here we arrive every year at what our calendars deem to be the beginning of THE NEW YEAR, like it's a monster from a scary book. Some look forward to it with delight and anticipation, the optimists, and others, the pessimists, dread it, worrying about the future. Hey, people! It's just a silly calendar! :) Take it in stride, laugh with it, laugh at it, but, most of all: LAUGH - and laugh out loud so the whole world can hear you!
This quote is so true about human nature it just begged to be moved to the top of the line:
* Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle. - Eric Zorn
By now you have properly figured out that I don't bother to wear a watch. In fact, as soon as I graduated university quite some time ago (feels like a life time, hmmm... maybe it was...) I put away all my watches and the clocks in every room. As far as I was concerned I was done with "childhood." I made a decision then to follow a spiritual rhythm of the day and night which is basically about getting in tune with Nature, Spirit and the Universe.
My New Year's resolution? They never quite sat right with me as I make course corrections all year long. There was a time in the personal "ancient" past when I tried to do as everyone else in my culture. What I found is exactly like the quote: I ended up rarely honoring the full resolution, maybe parts of it.
Over the years I've often wondered why people have such a tough time with it, struggling as I did too. What I decided - I'm big on deciding what my take is on anything which I suppose that's what creates a writer or blogger - well, I thought the reason we rarely follow through well on those resolutions is because of four annoying facts.
The first fact is that we get too grandiose in our goals, creating too many high hurdles for ourselves to achieve.
The second fact is that we fail to take those resolutions and break them down into much smaller goals that are easier to achieve.
The third fact is we allow those striving for goals to drag on far too long, killing our enthusiasm that began the journey in the first place. Choose goals that can be achieved in short spurts of time like a few days or a few weeks. Once you let it drag on too long it is easy to get discouraged and then you end up abandoning your resolution.
And the fourth fact? Waiting all year long to suddenly make a course correction is like taking an old ruin of a 100 year old house and finally deciding to renovate it and so it becomes a dizzying busy of a money pit.
Do yourself a favor; make small personal Life corrections all year long and then you can do like my husband and I do at New Years: celebrate how much progress we have made for the year. Instead of piling a "To Do List" onto yourself at the beginning of a new calendar year, celebrate with a "Finished List" like a birthday celebration of good things. That way you celebrate what is best about yourself instead of worrying about what is not perfect. Well, it works for me about reducing daily and cultural stress; I never said I was conventional about my outlook... :)
As I collected the New Years quotes, New Years poems, New Years blessing and New Years resolutions I was struck by how overwhelmed people felt by it all. Well, The Delphi Oracle here has solved the problem! Treat yourself kindly, make small personal Life corrections often all year long and then you can breathe a sigh of smug relief when THE NEW YEAR begins!
I like this New Year's Resolution the best:
* Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment. - Sydney Smith

Surfing Magazine December 2011 Issue Preview, We Love Japan, (Twice)
We (Surf Ride web nerd office crew) have been holding our breath to see the images from Dane's latest travels. The December issue holds the enlightenment. Japan and crew sure looks fun!
How interesting has surfing been lately? – by Editor in chief, Travis Ferré
Between the lunacy that went down at Teahupo'o, a million-dollar prize purse in New York, someone beating The Slater, another round of ever-entertaining Bobby Martinez/ASP antics, hurricanes, typhoons, psycho tow-ins, new airs, that thing Kelly pulled in Long Beach — hell, even the US Open of Surfing in Huntington was pretty sick — it's just been excitement on the high seas this month. And hot damn, have those seas been high, too! There was some point this month when every ocean had a storm that was producing epic waves somewhere, and while most eyes were on Tahiti, or the East Coast of the US, we managed to slip away to the Far East while no one was looking. And well, we kinda scored too.
The trip was a last-minute circus-turned-typhoon-chase with Dane Reynolds, Kolohe Andino, Yadin Nicol and Conner Coffin. A trip that reminded me that it is still possible — in this often packaged and branded professional surfin' world — to hit the road with some people you call friends and surf and run around a new country and enjoy everything from the local convenience store to new waves without any negativity. We all agreed never to return without each other because it would never be as much fun. But during a trip to Indo a week after our trip, Dane saw some more swell headed for Japan and, having fewer obligations than normal at the moment, decided to try again, this time meeting up with Yadin, John John Florence and Dillon Perillo.
And boy, are we glad they went back.
"The best Japan in 40 years" was what they found. A perfect storm of swell, conditions and sand gave the boys four days of the funnest surf ever, in a land that's so much more than just another surf destination. And while Dane and Yadin had to leave a day before the biggest waves thanks to injuries (Yadin's broken ankle and Dane's bruised ribs), they nonetheless managed to put on quite a show for the Japanese surfing community. And Dane found a new favorite surfer after watching John John for a few days. In an email following the trip he told me, "John John is for sure my favorite surfer. He's so f–king sick. You have to send me a shot of those waves they got, I'm tripping out!"
Despite Dane and Yadin's disappointment at missing the best day on trip No. 2, what took place over those few weeks in Japan did more than perfect barrels ever could: it revived a surfing culture that was shell-shocked by the tragedy of March's major earthquake. Shuji Kasuya, our host in Japan, said earnestly, "This is so good for the kids and the next generation of Japanese surfers, to see these guys come surf their waves in a time like this." And we couldn't be happier to visit them, either. I want to personally thank the Japanese surfers we met along the way for all their hospitality and knowledge. Both trips, regardless of waves, were ones for the record books, as well as the memory bank. —Travis Ferré
Dang, it's time for a surf trip…

Suppose on a webpage (accessed through a desktop browser) one has a list of news items displayed as headlines. When a user clicks on one of the headlines the full news text is shown in a lightbox-like overlay in order to put full attention to the reading experience.
My question is:
- How to design such overlay in order to provide the best possible reading and navigation experience?
On our team we are considering (at least) 3 alternatives:
However, we can't seem to quite agree as to which is better. Any thoughts?

CHICAGO — An appeals court said a man can press a claim for emotional distress after learning a former lover had used his sperm to have a baby. But he can't claim theft, the ruling said, because the sperm were hers to keep.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips' distress case back to trial court.
Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a "calculated, profound personal betrayal" after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant.
He said he didn't find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state.
Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons' attorney, Enrico Mirabelli.
'Trapped in a nightmare'
Phillips sued Irons, claiming he has had trouble sleeping and eating and has been haunted by "feelings of being trapped in a nightmare," court papers state.
Irons responded that her alleged actions weren't "truly extreme and outrageous" and that Phillips' pain wasn't bad enough to merit a lawsuit. The circuit court agreed and dismissed Phillips' lawsuit in 2003.
But the higher court ruled that, if Phillips' story is true, Irons "deceitfully engaged in sexual acts, which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy, to use plaintiff's sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences."
The judges backed the lower court decision to dismiss the fraud and theft claims, agreeing with Irons that she didn't steal the sperm.
"She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee," the decision said. "There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."
Phillips is representing himself in the case. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.
"There's a 5-year-old child here," Mirabelli said. "Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth."

Alternative Workplace Solutions
What is the definition for each of the typical Alternative Workplace Arrangement (AWA)?
Many of the terms used in the alternative workplace field are used loosely and/or lack consensus on their specific meaning. Below are typical definitions in use.
- Telework or telecommuting
- Telework center
- Virtual office or virtual workplace
- Hoteling
- Hot desking
- Desk Sharing
Telework and telecommuting
These synonymous terms mean the act of performing all or a portion of work functions at an alternative worksite, such as working from home or a telework center, to reduce or eliminate an employee's commute. To be considered telework for federal purposes, telework must occur at least one day per week on a regular and recurring basis and does not include (1) situational telework (unscheduled, project-oriented, non-recurring, and/or irregular telework and/or any teleworking that occurs less frequently than once a week on a recurring basis) or (2) full-time mobile work arrangements.
Telework center
A telework center is a facility that (1) provides workstations and other office facilities/services that an employee utilizes (typically on a fee for use/service basis) from several organizations and (2) an employee uses the facility as a geographically convenient alternative worksite for its users. Listed are different types of alternative worksites [PDF - 48 KB] , including telework centers and virtual office solutions.
Virtual office or virtual workplace
A virtual office is a work environment in which employees work cooperatively from different locations using a computer network (in lieu of a single building or other single physical location). As opposed to a single location site (facility) where workers are housed, the virtual office is typically a collaborative communications medium, such as a computer network, where workers gather electronically to collaborate and/or carry out other work activities. The actual physical locations of the employees working in a virtual office can be temporary or permanent and can be nearly anywhere, such as their homes, satellite offices, hotel rooms, corporate offices (shared work space), airports, airplanes, or automobiles.
Hoteling is an AWA in which (1) employees work in one facility (facility A) part of the time and at one or more alternative worksites the rest of the time and (2) when working in facility A, these employees use non-dedicated, non-permanent workspaces assigned for use by reservation on an as-needed basis.
Hot desking (also known as free address or touchdown workstations):
Hot desking is an AWA in which (1) employees work in one facility (Facility A) part of the time and at one or more alternative worksites the rest of the time and (2) when working in Facility A, these employees use non-dedicated, non-permanent workspaces assigned on a first come, first served basis.
Desk sharing
Desk sharing is work arrangement in which two or more employees share the same workstation in a typically pre-arranged manner that allows each of the employees to have sole access to the specified workstation on given days while the others involved in the sharing arrangement work elsewhere. The challenge for desk sharing is the need to come to an agreement on a mutually satisfying schedule for use of the workstation as well as the need to work with the desk habits of others.

Orange County sheriff's deputy slain in line of duty identified
Deputy Sheriff Jonathon Scott Pine leaves behind wife, 3 kids
ORLANDO, Fla. – An Orange County sheriff's deputy who was shot and killed while responding to a car burglary call has been identified on Tuesday morning.
The shooting happened late Monday in the Orlando gated community of Westminster Landing.
Sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves says firefighters "made valiant efforts" to save the 34-year-old Deputy Sheriff Jonathan Scott Pine, who died a short time later at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Officials say Pine attempted to question 28-year-old suspect Benjamin Holtermann (pictured below), who shot Pine three times. Holtermann ran away and was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Holtermann's girlfriend, identified by deputies as 18-year-old Erica Pugh (pictured below), was taken into custody and faces burglary charges in the incident. She also faces grand theft charges in an armed robbery that occurred Friday night in the area of Hiawassee Road and Old Winter Garden Road, deputies said, and is being held without bond.
Orange County investigators are still trying to confirm the accused gunman is the same Holtermann who was on probation after serving three years in a Maryland prison for robbery. Holtermann was questioned by Maryland police about another home burglary but didn't have enough evidence to arrest him, according to authorities.
Over the summer, Maryland authorities issued an arrest warrant for Holtermann's girlfriend, Pugh, for allegedly failing to appear in court on a theft charge.
Sheriff Jerry L. Demings asked for prayers for Pine's wife and three small children. Demings held a news conference, where he talked about Pine, calling him a hero, a great deputy sheriff and a family man who had many friends.
"Deputy Pine wanted to make a difference in this community," Demings said. "Scott acted bravely and gave his life, making a difference so others can sleep safely."
Demings also said a sheriff's helicopter caught the shooting on video, but it will not be released to the public. He also said Pine was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, which stopped two of the gunshots. The third "mortally wounded" Pine, Demings said.
"We now have to endure the tragedy with the family to try to understand this, which is unbearable and really not understandable, and we hope the community understands the sacrifice this family has undertaken," Nieves said.
Pine was employed with the Orange County Sheriff's Office on January 04, 2011 and assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division, Sector III. Pine was from Shreveport, La.
Law enforcement agencies from across the county sent condolences to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
"Chief Paul Rooney and the entire Orlando Police Department offer their sincere condolences for the Deputy killed in the line of duty overnight. His family, friends, and the Orange County Sheriff's Office are in the thoughts and prayers of every member of OPD," a news release stated. "The men and women in law enforcement risk their lives every day to protect the community they serve and are true heroes. OPD has and will continue to assist and support the Orange County Sheriff's Office, our law enforcement brothers and sisters, through their time of sacrifice and sorrow."
"Our hearts go out to the family of the fallen deputy, and to the entire Orange County Sheriff's Office. We mourn the loss of this courageous deputy, who gave his life in the line of duty and in the service of Orange County's citizens. Our full resources are at the disposal of Sheriff Demings and his department, as well as the family of the slain deputy," Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said in a statement.
"I am heartbroken to learn that Deputy Pine was killed in the line of duty. My prayers are with his wife, three children, other family members and his law enforcement family. He is a true hero who died protecting his community," Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Donations can be made to any Orlando Federal Credit Union in the name of the Jonathon Scott Pine Memorial Fund.

Fine Art Print
A beautiful and classic way to display your photographs is with a traditionally framed print. Your image is printed to the highest standard available using pigment-based inks, 100% cotton rag, archival-quality paper and coatings for vibrant colorfastness, clarity and depth that will last a lifetime.
All prints are mounted on 2mm acid-free polystyrene allowing for framing without the need for additional mounting and greatly reducing the possibility of being damaged in handling. Please contact me if you prefer/need a traditional loose-paper print.
Select a print size:
High Gloss Metal
Metal prints have striking color depth and contrast and a brilliant glossy finish. Medium and large metal prints can really produce a wow factor unlike other display options. Images with deep color saturation and rich black tones have an extra "pop" when printed on metal and the thick glossy finish has a shiny wet appearance. These ready-to-hang prints come with a sturdy hanging system and appear to float off the wall.
Metal prints are a great choice for a clean, contemporary look without the need for framing.
Select a print size:
Gallery Canvas
Canvas Gallery Wraps are a fantastic and popular way to display
medium and large-format photographs. Ready-to-hang right out of the box
they eliminate the need, cost and weight of additional framing. Canvas
wraps allow full edge-to-edge display of fine art photos and are easily
viewed from all angles as the image "wraps" around the frame all the way
to the wall.
Gallery wraps are a great option for large rooms with a lot of light as the canvas surface is less reflective than traditional glass or acrylic framing.
Select a print size:
Exhibition Acrylic
Acrylic float mounts have a stunning modern art gallery look. Printed on metallic paper and mounted on 3mm DiBond (a lightweight, strong, archival-quality mounting surface) the print is face-mounted to 1/4" clear acrylic and fitted with your choice of mounting system; french cleat or stainless post. Similar to metal prints, acrylic mounts display vibrant color density, deep black tones and sharp contrast.
Choose acrylic mounts for exhibition-level photo displays in your home or business.

Cramp Bark
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Cramp Bark
Cramp bark is a large shrub of the honeysuckle family that can grow to fifteen feet in height. It is native to the lowland forest areas of Scotland and England, and was brought to the northern part of the US and southern Canada. It is customary for cramp bark to be stripped of its bark prior to the changing of its leaves' color during the fall season. Cramp bark has large white flowers and yields red berries. The berries can be a substitute for cranberries, but should be taken in moderation. Cramp bark is also known by the names of Viburnum opulus, Guelder Black Haw, Dog Rowan Tree, Cranberry Tree, May Elder, Viburnum, May Rose, and King's Crown.
History and Origin
Cramp bark originated from the Highbush Cranberry. It flourishes under the sun and in moist soil. It matures in the woodland areas, thickets, low grounds, and in hedges. Cramp bark has numerous types of compounds in small amounts. This herb is a native of Africa and Europe, and was later introduced to North America where it spread in huge range zones. Cramp bark has hydroquinones, viopudial, tannis, and coumarins. The active component is viopudial, which is found to be a good muscle antispasmodic. The other constituents are viburnine, Vitamin K, salicin, isovalerianic acid, salicosides, resin, sterol, and arbutin.
Ancient Uses
Traditionally, Native Americans would utilize the cramp bark in relieving women's menstrual cramps as well as comforting them from spasms after giving birth. It can also prevent possible miscarriage. The bark is an astringent, antispasmodic, and works as a sedative in the uterus. It also works as a muscle relaxant. Cramp bark is appropriate when used as combination in the treatment of asthma and tension.
Modern Uses
Cramp bark eases uterine cramps. It is most considered as a potent uterine antispasmodic because of its antispasmodic constituent scopoletin contents. It works very well in the treatment of menstrual cramps. Cramp bark can stop contractions in cases of premature labor. Even before a child's delivery, pregnant women use it during the last trimester in order to strengthen uterine muscles for an easy labor. The cramp bark's antispasmodic constituents can lower blood pressure through the relaxation of vessel walls. With large dosages, it can eradicate muscle spasms, leg cramps, and pain associated with a stiff neck. The bark is prepared by peeling it from the roots, and then it is dried for decoction. Otherwise, in can be made into a glycerin or alcohol tincture. The dosage is typically thirty to sixty drops in an hour for use in acute muscle spasms. When used for painful menstruation, cramp bark should be taken frequently. The starting dose would be a half-dropperful in the first half hour and then gradually increased each hour thereafter until there is an effect.
Side Effects
Cramp bark possible side effects include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. People who are aspirin sensitive will most likely also be sensitive to cramp bark as well. Its ability as a muscle relaxant can affect the body's organs such as the intestine as well as the skeletal muscles. When cramp bark fails in relieving symptoms of menstrual camps, it could be due to a uterine muscle spasm and not inflammation of the ovary or a case of endometrial infection. When planning to use cramp bark during the last trimester in pregnancy, consulting with a qualified physician or naturopathic doctor is highly advised.

Here's Why That NYC Marathon Proposal Is Getting So Much Backlash
The New York City Marathon was held on Sunday (Nov. 4) and one woman's race has gone viral. No, she didn't win first place or have an epic fall. But she did get engaged at mile 16, which has sparked an internet controversy like never before.
Kaitlyn Curran spotted her boyfriend, Dennis Galvin, near the Queensboro Bridge while she was running her first ever marathon. She jogged over to say hi and that's when Galvin got down on one knee to pop the question. Curran said yes, hugged and kiss Galvin, and then carried on with the race. The proposal was caught on video and shared by CBS Evening News.
The video spread like wildfire across Twitter, but probably not for the reason you'd expect. Many people chimed in to share that they'd actually pretty mad if this is how their significant other decided to propose.
"If you've ever trained for a marathon, the amount of time that goes into, is a lot. To be interrupted for a damn proposal is insane," one person shared.
"this guy jumped the barrier and proposed to his girlfriend at mile 16 of the NYC marathon. MILE 16 IS NOT THE FINISH. Proposals mid-race cannot be a thing no no no no," Cross Country Probs tweeted.
"Guy Watching His Girlfriend Run Marathon Quietly Finds A Way To Make It All About Him," another wrote.
Neither Curran or Galvin has spoken about their viral engagement publicly yet, though Galvin's cousin Kathleen Figueroa, who captured the video, told CBS that "it was indescribable just to be there and see it all was amazing." She confirmed that Curran "had no idea" about the proposal and that the couple is "very happy" and "can't wait for the wedding."
What do you think about this proposal: is it super cute or super inconvenient to propose to your significant other while they run a marathon?
