This interface allows users with consultant expertise to set up application prototypes (mock-ups) to be presented to their clients. Such applications can be handed over to developers to provide a basis for the development of the final system.
This screen showcases the structural design of the application, that is, the main menu items, the associated screens, as well as the content displayed on the screens. These can be edited by clicking on the "Pencil" icons provided. The cards display various pictograms depending on the view type (grid view, card view, graph, editor screen, calendar, external website.)
Screens listed under an individual main menu item comprise a group.
By clicking on the "New screen" button or on the cards marked with a "+" sign in the individual main menu groups, a new screen may be generated using two different sources:
By clicking on the "New screen" button and selecting the "Import application block" option in the pop-up window, the available screen-level application blocks will appear. After selecting the block to be imported and clicking on the "Import" button, the block"s XML file will appear among the other XML files in the database.
A block can be imported only once; when it is reattempted, the "Import" button turns inactive.
By clicking on the "New screen" button and selecting the blank screen option in the pop-up window, an array of predefined screen layouts will appear.
In case of predefined screens, the connections between individual panels are set as follows:
NOTE: the predefined connection does not mean that filtering between panels automatically happens, rather, if the filters of individual panels are set correctly, the connection is established, and the filtering takes place.
After selecting the desired screen layout and pressing the "Next" button (or double-clicking on the selected layout), the design tool will be loaded.
By default, the name of the new screen is "Untitled", which can be modified on the interface.
If there is no (unprotected) main menu item in the system, one should be generated, and the screen should be dragged under it.
By clicking on the "Save" button, a sample screen is created.
By drag&drop, content can be added to the individual panels from various sources:
The "Existing screen" tab features grid views, forms, graphs and calendar type views included in the XML-package.
Generating a new view by using the "New view" button
If an existing database table is selected, an existing table"s name has to be entered. When the "Create editor screen" checkbox is ticked, an editor form is also created for the view of the given table with an option to add new items.
After clicking on "Save", the grid view and the related form are created.
When a new table is generated, a name not yet existing has to be given. The columns of the table can be added by clicking on the "New field" button. The name and type (SQL field types) of the column has to be specified. In case of VARCHAR-type field, the length of the field can also be determined: the system accepts values between 1 and 8000 or the value "MAX".
A unique identifier and a "Deleted" field is automatically generated for the table.
Generating an editor form is also possible here, again by ticking the checkbox.
Note: When an existing or new table is specified, and the form generation option is ticked, the system will aim at matching the form"s individual fields with the field types, that is, in case of a BIT type of field, the associated entry field will be a checkbox, while with a DATE/DATETIME type of field, the entry field will have a date/date+time value, in any other case, it will be a textbox.
A view can also be created by using an SQL statement, and the SQL statement can be modified to create a stored procedure by ticking a checkbox.
A stored procedure may also be chosen from the database; in this case a dynamic view is generated as the system does not know what the result of the stored procedure will be.
The "Excel import" tab allows users to import data into the system from Excel files.
After selecting the file and hitting the "Upload file" button, the tab names (under which names the XML files will be generated), as well as the items in the first rows of the individual tabs (as table headers) will be loaded. The data content of the individual tabs will be loaded into related text boxes in tables with corresponding names, however, these can be renamed. If an existing table name occurs in the text box, the system issues a warning that only a nonexistent table name may be given.
Using drag&drop, the individual tabs can be linked through the fields below them, the relationship between the tabs can be thus defined. In this case the XML files are generated with filters already set. The relationship between fields is indicated by identical coloring and each relationship is marked with a different color. The number of fields linked to the relationship"s initial field is shown by a number following its name.
By clicking on the "Load data into database" button, the content of the Excel file is loaded into the database (unique identifiers and "Deleted" columns are automatically generated in the tables), and the relevant XML files are also created. The system will also generate the relevant forms to modify or enter new data. These will appear on the "Excel import" tab, with pictograms indicating the type of the views.
By dragging the tabs connected in the above example onto the three panels and clicking on the gear icon in the bottom right corner of any of the panels, the details of the given panel"s view will appear:
Related XML files (view, data source): upon clicking, the XML description of the given file will open to be edited locally, validated against an XSD and saved
Related forms (pop-up forms attached to a link or button): by clicking on the name, the form editor opens (for further details, see "Form editor")
Fields: here grid view columns can be rearranged using drag&drop, and their visibility can be modified by clicking on the eye icon (the green eye indicates that a column is visible in the grid, while in case of the red one, the column remains hidden). Upon clicking on the "Delete column" button, the column will be deleted from the view only, it will remain unchanged in the data source (as well as in the database).
Control panel: here new filter fields and action buttons can be added to the view
When adding a new filter field, users have to enter the label and type of the filter (date filter, date range filter, free text filter, checkbox), as well as the field to be filtered.
When adding a new action button, users have to enter the label and type of the button (PRS – running a stored procedure, a link opening a window, Excel export button, "Delete" button). In case of a PRS the following should be specified:
Data filters: the field by which a given data source will be filtered is specified here
Data fields: SQL query fields are displayed here along with information on the column whose value is to be used as a filter (including name and type)
By clicking on the "Save" button, a three-panel screen will be generated, and its card will appear under the chosen main menu item.
By clicking on the "XML" label on the card, the file describing the screen itself will open in an XML editor, while by clicking on the pencil icon, the screen designer of the specific screen may be accessed.
When clicking on the ""Save XML files" button, the files will be saved into the file system. After reloading the page, the modifications will appear in the system:
"Add new item" button on the left-hand side: all fields on the "Employee" tab of the Excel file, as well as the assigned ID fields will be shown (since the latter is read only, its configuration will be discussed in detail – among others – under the "Form editor" section).
In the Component XML file, you can specify a help for tabs, which is a URL.
The following parameters are handled in the URL:
<Tab id="tab1">
<Tab id="tab2">
<Caption>Grid Toolbar (all items)</Caption>
When help is configured for a tab, a question mark icon will appear in the top right corner of the tab, clicking on it will open the help.
The Screen designer can be used to enter help content. To do this, select "Add / Edit Help" in the context menu of that tab. The HTML editor will open and the help can be configured.
After save the formatted text is stored in the
FSYS_Help table. The table has the screen/component/tab ID attached to that record so that they can be easily retrieved, as in the example above.
Any selected screen can be copied. In such cases, the system copies the XML files of the chosen screen, but only those on the first level, that is, the view and data source level, it does not copy the windows popping up from the views (or the files related thereto). A postfix is added to the copied files" names to indicate where a given file stands in a row of files under the same name.
By clicking on the "Edit menu" button, the following options are available:
Upon clicking on the "Read XML files" button (and following confirmation), XML files stored in the file system are loaded into the database. The structure of the Effector system described by the files appears on the screen. User specific files stored hitherto in the database will be overwritten.
By clicking on the "Save XML files" button (and following confirmation), user specific XML files stored in the database will be saved in the file system. Older files already stored in the file system will be overwritten.
Previous versions of XML files can be restored. A restore point called "FACTORY" is automatically generated upon the first reading of the XML files. This is the default version. In addition, a restore point saving the most resent version of the XML files can be created at any time. This is also user specific and is relevant only to the files loaded by the user. It is important to note, that no database status is linked to the restore points, that is, if a previous version is restored, database modifications made between the two versions (e.g. added table or field, data entry) will not roll back. Unneeded restore points can be deleted at any time.
Note: the XML files related to the restore points exist in the database only (assigned to the current user). After using a restore point, the files can be saved to the file system by clinking on the "Save XML files" button.
A selected screen can be deleted by clicking on the "Delete" button. In such cases, the files describing the screen itself will not be deleted (due to possible references elsewhere), only the reference made to it will be erased from the main menu file.
On the Pop-up window screen, screens inaccessible from the menu system may be created or edited. Screens thus generated may be added to select list type of fields on forms, while in other cases (such as windows pupping up on a grid view at the click of a button), currently these can be added manually at the preferred location. The generation and editing of screens are carried out the same way as in the screen designer.
With Effector Studio it is possible to generate database and Effector objects from an existing xlsx file. Upon clicking on the "Upload" button, the same window pops up as the one on the screen designer"s "Excel import" tab. After clicking on the "Load data into database" button, the data on the Excel tabs gets loaded into the Effector database. The names of the loaded Excel tabs are shown on the "Document tabs" panel, and by clicking on them, the data on the tabs will appear as database records.
On this interface, users can edit or generate new maintenance screens (forms) stored in the system. The form"s label (if there is any), its name and the number of its entry fields appear on the cards.
When clicking on the "New form" button, the following window pops up:
The name of the form can be entered in this window. It is also possible to enter control groups for the form, which, by default, consist of a label and an entry field of selected type. By clicking on the "+" icon on the group, further controls can be added to the group. The individual groups may be rearranged using drag&drop.
The following types of controls may be added to the individual groups:
Controls may be deleted from the group by clicking on the Recycle bin icon appearing in their top right corner. By deleting all the controls, the group itself gets deleted. Labels can be renamed. The type of entry field cannot be modified. New groups will be identified by a GUID, such as "923ad59f-a699-4800-a988-e2bbe96e96b7".
You can explicitly define the field name on the "Field Settings" tab in the "Binding name" input field. If you specify an existing database field name here, the input field will be bound to it, otherwise a new field will be added to the table. If this is not specified, then the database equivalent (BindingName) of the new input field will be generated from the label if any. Without label it will be the type of the field (ddeaccent, remove whitespace characters). If a field with this name is already exists, it will postfix "_x" (where x = 1,2, ...).
Database field type based on selected input field:
Upon saving, the system automatically completes both the form and the associated database table with the following fields:
Furthermore, the system automatically generates the Save/Delete/Back buttons onto the form. After opening a saved blank form (by clicking on the Pencil icon next to its name), it looks like this:
It is possible to define rules for both the groups and the items (controls) within the group. It can be done on the "Rule values" tab on the right-hand side of the interface. After selecting a group or a control on the left-hand side (the selected item has a dashed frame) and clicking on the "New rule" button on the right-hand side, the list of rule values appears:
Upon selecting a rule, its type (Constant, Simple, SQL) return type (Integer, Boolean, String, DateTime, Double), optionally its default value (for when an error occurs during the evaluation of the rule) and the expression to be evaluated must be specified.
One rule can be added to a chosen item once only, after that it disappears from the list of optional values. A rule can be deleted by clicking on the Recycle bin icon in its top right corner.
In case of
TextBox there is a checkbox called 'Numeric field' on tab 'Field settings'. Only numeric input values are allowed by setting it checked (this cannot be modified when field already exists). Then the related database field is set to
INT. In addition, input field can be set to multiline, when the 'Numeric field' is unchecked.
In case of a drop-down list type of entry field, the data source from which the value set of the list to be obtained should be specified under the "Field settings" tab on the screen"s right-hand side. If a source is chosen where further filtering in the value set is possible (e.g. only the items belonging to a given group are to be displayed from the Lookup values), then such a group should be defined.
If there is no such group in the database yet, then, by clicking on the "New values" button, groups and group items can be added or renamed in the pop-up window:
In case of a Query TextBox type of entry field, users can specify, under the "Field settings" tab on the right-hand side, the screen that opens when clicked on the control, the item of the selected row on the view of the given screen to be used as a key (the value of which is to be saved in the database), and the item to be displayed as a value in the select list.

Update from May Work Party
Super awesome huge thank you to all who came, wanted to come, prayed, thought about praying, or anything else related to the 810 Project. We made great progress and are almost done with Phase 1: the Teardown. Phase 2: the Rebuild will begin by June. It's a great time of transition with school coming to a close, our family moving again, and sunshine sporadically peeking through the clouds.
For those that missed it, here are some photos from our last Work Day party. We got the downstairs kitchen and bathrooms ripped out, the garage cleaned out, and the upstairs kitchen/bathrooms almost complete.
Scripture Thoughts:
1 Samuel 14:6~ "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few."
I've been challenged in my faith to trust in the Lord with EVERYTHING. [by everything, I mean everything]. This project has been depressing at times. I think about the North Side. About it's reputation for murder and depression and depravity. I think about my kids safety. I think about the fact that I'm a white dude from the sticks with really not much in common with the people we are moving towards. I think about how so many others are already doing something, and what difference would my life make anyway? I think what I'm doing won't matter.
Then I think about Jonathan. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving….by many or by few. If this is the Lord's initiative, then It's going to be awesome. If it's mine, it's probably going to suck. In either case, I'm moving forward in faith, trusting that God will teach me and hold my hand through all this.
Prayer Points:
As we look forward to Phase 2, here's a list of stuff we are still asking God to provide. If you know anyone who could help, send them our way!
- A plumber! (all the copper was stolen. I'm not sure where to start with nothing in place. help?!)
- Electrician! (much of the wiring is very old. We could use help/advice on how to proceed with it)
- tools: my tools were stolen. I bought hammers, but could use another circular saw, miter saw, drill, ect.
- Attitudes: we really need prayer to keep our heads up. It's a back and forth battle to stay positive at times, but we really do feel your prayers. Thank you!
- Fruit: as phase 2 begins, we want to be more intentional about being a witness and forming relationships with the neighbors. Pray for 'a man of peace' in the neighborhood that will help us spread the good news and be a bridge to the neighborhood.
Thank You!!!

Situated on Toronto's beautiful waterfront, Hotel X is at the centre of the city's best venues, events and attractions. The Honda Indy, Exhibition Place, BMO Field, Coca-Cola Coliseum and Budweiser Stage are all within walking distance of the hotel.
With approximately 500 suites and over 1800 openings, the 5-star hotel is full of incredible amenities, including a cinema, state-of-the-art sports club and fitness centre (dubbed 10X Toronto), and a rooftop pool that offers stunning views of the city.
Trillium Architectural worked closely with the architect, owner and contractor to design, supply and install an opening package that includes hollow metal doors and frames, wood doors, hardware and automatic operators.
Trillium Integration played a crucial role in this project, executing a complete Salto access control system that manages the suite entries, back-of-house openings and elevators. This involved close coordination and cooperation with the electrical and security trades, as well as a strong site presence for installation and programming. The system uses a variety of Salto technologies, including XS4, Sallis and AElement.
After installation, Trillium Integration provided full training and support to the hotel's management team, ensuring they are confident with the system and able to provide the highest levels of service and convenience to their customers.

Atlanta is the capital city of the US state of Georgia and is the most densely populated city in the state. This city was established in the 1830's and was formed at the meeting point of two railroad lines. Flights to Atlanta are available with many international airlines and depart direct from Manchester and Paris as well as many other European cities. If you are looking for a direct flight from London, then be sure to use our online comparison tool to aid you in your search. Find a cheap flight to Atlanta that is perfect for your budget and schedule. This city has the 17th largest economy in the world and is home to a number of spectacular buildings. It has the third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the US and and is home to the headquarters of corporations such as Coca Cola and Delta Airlines. Although this city is located in the south, the culture here is not very southern compared to cities like Charleston.
The transport system in this city is efficient and modern. There are nearly 100 bus routes and almost 50 miles of rail line running throughout the Georgian capital, not to mention the 1600 licensed taxis. The subway system is operated by a company called MARTA and is the eighth busiest in the United States. Plans are also in progress to construct more roads and rail lines.A flight to this wonderful American city will give you a chance to experience the many sights and sounds that make this city so popular with tourists worldwide. The airport is one of the most heavily used terminals in the world and for obvious reasons. A trip to this city will allow you to explore the World of Coca Cola, Georgia Aquarium, Phillips Arena and the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. You can also visit the Six Flags White Water amusement park, the Variety Playhouse, Punchline Comedy Club and many other exciting attractions.
Use our online flight comparator to determine the most economical time to book cheap flights to Atlanta. This unique tool uses data from the cheapest deals on flights to your chosen destination collected over the past 12 months and clearly displays the correlations in prices on the price history graphs found below. Based on these charts it is clear that while there is relatively little variation in budget flight prices from Manchester to Atlanta throughout the year, the cheapest month to fly is in April. 'The capital of the south' is an ideal destination for a city break all year round. Compare cheap flights to Atlanta in February and discover the plethora of African American history this city has to offer during black history month. Alternatively, why not benefit from the cheap airfare offers available in April and experience major league baseball at its best. June brings with it an array of music festivals and December plays host to awesome thanksgiving celebrations. If you do decide to book low cost flights for this festive season you can always shelter from the slightly colder weather in the famous Georgia Aquarium or the World of Coca Cola, just be sure you don't miss out on the chance to see the newest arrival at Atlanta Zoo, Mei Lan, a giant panda cub. Finally, it is definitely worth remembering that flight prices between the UK and Atlanta can vary by up to double the price depending on which airline company you decide to fly with. For example, Airfrance is one company which offers great economical deals on direct airline tickets to Atlanta; however travelers who are not adverse to the idea of stopovers or fixed flight dates will find several similar companies also offering equally cheap flights to Atlanta, especially with United Airlines.

By Editorial Staff
Yes, your body-mass index (essentially a general measure of body size based on height and weight) can impact the health of your child – even before your baby is born. In fact, according to recent research, children of women whose BMI is higher before delivery are more likely to have higher blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors at 4-6 years of age compared with children of women with lower BMI.
The researchers make the significance of their finding crystal clear: "Considering that blood pressure tracks from childhood into adulthood [in other words, children with high blood pressure are more likely to have high blood pressure in adulthood] and microvascular changes may be early markers of cardiometabolic disease development, our results suggest that maternal prepregnancy BMI is an important modifiable risk factor for later-life cardiovascular health of the offspring."
Body-mass index has been critiqued at times as an inaccurate reflection of body weight from a health perspective because it fails to differentiate between, for example, a 6-foot, 185-pound man who never exercises and a same-height, same-weight professional athlete. However, BMI does mean something. If your BMI is off the charts, you probably know it, and you also probably know losing weight would improve your health. If you're pregnant or trying to conceive a child, a high BMI might not just affect you negatively; it could put your child at risk down the road. Make sure you maintain a healthy weight that keeps your BMI in the normal range (as opposed to overweight or obese) – for your sake and the sake of your baby.

We want to keep building on our many years of experience, and this is the reason why we facilitate and encourage applied research. We want to discover and develop viable solutions in timber construction and to make them available to the general public. We are particularly interested in the continued development of the building process, with a focus on innovative wooden building systems with the highest possible degree of prefabrication.
Simultaneously we believe it is vital that architects play a pivotal role in developing these new processes, as they have the ability to question both the structural and the aesthetics qualities of any new solution.

Crowded field of candidates emerges to challenge Troxclair in Southwest Austin
In addition to Mayor Steve Adler, five City Council members are up for re-election this November. In three of those races – District 9, District 5 and District 3 – nobody has yet declared their intention of running against the incumbent, although challengers will most likely emerge eventually.
The one race that is attracting a great deal of interest is in Southwest Austin's District 8. Four candidates have said they are considering running against incumbent Council Member Ellen Troxclair, who has confirmed that she plans to run for re-election.
Unlike many other races in Austin, the District 8 contest features a great deal of political diversity. Not only is Troxclair the only remaining Council member with ties to the Republican Party, but her four challengers represent different flavors of liberalism that lead to diverging views on certain hot-button local issues, notably development and growth.
Although Council is nonpartisan, Troxclair's ties to the GOP may put her in a tough position in an election cycle that is expected to favor Democrats. If the Democratic base is as energized as the party's recent victories in local and state races around the country suggest, there will be far more left-leaning voters taking part in the District 8 race than in 2014, when Troxclair triumphed over her opponent, Ed Scruggs, by 57 votes.
In an interview with the Austin Monitor, Troxclair said that she plans to campaign on the same issues that she emphasized in 2014: "Lowering property taxes, lowering utility bills and getting the cost of living under control."
During her three years in office, said Troxclair, constituents have told her how much they appreciate that her campaign promises have matched her actions on the dais, such as her advocacy for spending cuts and lower taxes. She evaded questions surrounding the national political context in which her race will be fought. She criticizes Council's "tendency to get distracted by issues that the city doesn't have a direct impact on."
She also emphasized that she had supporters from "all sides of the political spectrum."
"I don't think that reducing property taxes or traffic are partisan issues," she said. "I have never approached them in that way."
That's not to say that she is against all city spending. Austin has woefully neglected infrastructure needs that have been guided by a "no-growth mentality that says, if you don't build it, they won't come," she said.
Although Troxclair did lobby the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority unsuccessfully against cuts to bus routes in her district, she criticized a city transportation agenda that she believes has been too focused on promoting alternatives to cars. The city's policies should be shaped by the fact that "the majority of people in Austin commute via cars," she said.
Troxclair laughed off questions about who she is pulling for in the race for mayor. "I'm focused on my race and my district," she said.
She also expressed surprise that so many candidates were already readying campaigns to challenge her. "Doesn't it seem a little early to you?" she asked. "I think it's unfortunate that the candidates are starting to campaign this early."
Shane Sexton
A native of Arlington, Sexton came to Austin in 1999 to attend the police academy and has since worked a number of law enforcement jobs, including a one-year stint training police officers in Kabul, Iraq, in 2005-06. He is currently an officer for the Concordia University Police Department and previously worked at the Precinct 3 Constable's Office under now-Sheriff Sally Hernandez.
Sexton described positive interactions with Troxclair, whom he finds "very cordial, extremely polite." However, he doesn't agree with "the majority of what she does" on Council. He highlighted her support for an unsuccessful effort at the Texas Legislature to further limit cities' abilities to raise property taxes and her support for budget cuts that he believes would jeopardize core services.
Sexton emphasized that he strongly supports "accountability and transparency" for police, but he's not happy with how Council dealt with the Austin Police Association over the past year. He explained that even though Council members had 10 months of contract negotiations to voice their concerns, they allowed city management to negotiate a contract that the union expected to be approved and then rejected it at the last minute. "They just felt let down," Sexton said of Austin cops. "There should have been more leadership throughout the process."
However, Sexton agrees the city needs to make tough decisions on spending in order to achieve "some semblance of tax relief." He highlighted the proposed $124 million bond to upgrade the city's pools that has earned praise from some on Council. "I get kind of confused sometimes over the things they're willing to spend money on versus the things they're not," he said of Council.
When it comes to development and CodeNEXT, Sexton emphasized that the city "needs more dwellings" and that he believes allowing more types of housing, including accessory dwelling units, can make the city more affordable. He would like to see more transit in the district and speaks approvingly of transit-centric policies such as the city's recent decision to replace two vehicle lanes with bus lanes on parts of Guadalupe Street, which Troxclair criticized.
Sexton is also strongly supportive of efforts made by local governments, including the Travis County Sheriff's Office and Austin City Council, to prevent the deportation of undocumented immigrants. "Greg Casar is a great man," he said, recalling a heated exchange between Troxclair and Casar over funding for immigrant legal services last year.
Sexton said that he had not yet decided who to support in the mayoral election.
Bobby Levinski
Currently an attorney for the Save Our Springs Alliance, Levinski also has years of City Hall service behind him. He has worked as an aide to three Council members, including Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo and mayoral candidate Laura Morrison, for whom he worked for four years.
Levinski, who has spent much of his career pushing for protection of the Edwards Aquifer, said his main problem with Troxclair is her failure to defend "one of the most environmentally sensitive areas in our city."
In addition, Levinski described Troxclair as a rigid ideologue who does little to work with her colleagues to achieve practical solutions for her constituents. He dismissed her efforts to lower property taxes as shallow and lacking realistic proposals for accompanying cuts.
"She might throw out cutting budgets by 5 percent across the board, but that's not matched to a conversation about needs," he said. "And I don't think that's realistic when working with the other colleagues on the dais. You need not just a principled stance but an informed stance."
When it comes to taxes, Levinski said he'd prefer the city to implement a flat-dollar-amount homestead exemption, similar to the Austin Independent School District. State law does not allow municipalities to put in place flat-rate exemptions, which are more progressive than percentage exemptions because they deliver the greatest benefit to those with less valuable property.
In recent months, Levinski has become active in Community Not Commodity, a group opposed to CodeNEXT. He said he would like much of the planning process returned to neighborhood planning, and he is concerned about increased entitlements that he believes will incentivize the demolition of older homes and the displacement of longtime residents. He rejects the idea that he is anti-development or opposed to different kinds of housing. "I don't think it needs to be as binary as pro-development versus anti-development," he said, noting that he himself is a renter who lives in a duplex.
Although he has only lived in the district for six months, Levinski bristles at the suggestion that he lacks the necessary ties to represent the area. He highlighted his years of advocacy, both at SOS and as a Council aide, and on behalf of Southwest Austin's environment, as well as his time as head coach of the St. Michael's High School women's soccer team.
Asked whether he plans to be active in support of his former boss' campaign for mayor, Levinski replied: "I'm staying out of any other race but my own."
Paige Ellis
Ellis, a seven-year resident of District 8 who works in marketing for aci consulting, an environmental compliance firm, has been involved as an activist and volunteer in a variety of local environmental causes, such as Keep Austin Beautiful and the Barton Springs Conservancy. Similar to Levinski, her first critique of Troxclair is that "she lacks a passion for the environment."
In contrast to Levinski, however, Ellis described an increase in housing supply and a greater variety of housing options as a critical part of solving Austin's affordability and transportation problems. Striking a balance between needed development and environmental protection is what guides her work at aci, which gives her the ability to "bridge the gap" that exists between the environmental community and developers, she said.
She is nevertheless not impressed by the CodeNEXT process. "It seems a little rushed to me," she said. "In order to be successful, CodeNEXT needs to reflect what the city wants in terms of livability."
Ellis is also a big proponent of mass transit and said that the city needs to "begin thinking a lot farther ahead" in terms of transportation, "instead of just building another road." There's a lack of transit access in Southwest Austin, she said, but there's also a lack of awareness among residents about the transit options available.
Ellis believes that the unexpected election of President Donald Trump jolted many fellow progressives into action. "They trusted that the right thing would happen … and now they realize that they need to get up and get active and involved," she said.
While she agrees that Austinites "need a break" in terms of taxes, Ellis said that "without the numbers in front of me, I'd have a hard time making a statement" about what needs to be cut.
When asked who she will support for mayor, Ellis hesitated at first but then clarified that she is supporting Adler and would be attending his campaign kickoff on Sunday.
Richard DePalma
A strategic consultant by trade with a lengthy record of volunteer service to the city, DePalma has not yet filed paperwork to run for Council but said he plans to. Like the other left-of-center candidates in the race, DePalma, who is vice chair of the Parks and Recreation Board of Directors, is a big supporter of the environment and the outdoors.
DePalma described himself as uniquely attuned to the concerns of Southwest Austin. That's in contrast to Troxclair, "who is serving folks underneath the pink dome at the Capitol," he said. It's also in contrast to "at least one candidate who is being pushed by downtown Austin interests," he said, declining to name the challenger he was referencing but later making clear he was describing Levinski.
DePalma voiced conflicted feelings about CodeNEXT, saying that "we need to redevelop areas that need to be redeveloped" but also that he would like to see the new code "respect neighborhood plans." He also said that there were other community assets that he would not sacrifice for the sake of affordability, such as parkland. He would like to see the new code start with the places of agreement and engagement with neighborhood groups. "We definitely have NIMBY neighborhoods," he said, but added, "there are definitely neighborhoods that are open to additional housing." In another veiled reference to Levinski, he said the race included "at least one candidate who says you can't build anything."
Above all else, DePalma smarts over what he sees as a continued neglect of Southwest Austin in terms of city services. District 8 only has one city pool and one library, he pointed out. Troxclair has done little to correct the problem, he said, considering that her goal is generally to cut city services in order to lower taxes. Indeed, DePalma is a strong backer of the $124 million pools bond that will add one pool to the district but which Troxclair and some others on Council denounced as fiscally irresponsible.
DePalma, who was appointed to the Parks and Recreation board by Adler, said he plans on supporting the incumbent in the mayoral election.

Key Players & Topics In This Article
Austin City Council: The Austin City Council is the body with legislative purview over the City of Austin. It offers policy direction, while the office of the City Manager implements administrative actions based on those policies. Until 2012, the body contained seven members, including the city's Mayor, all elected at-large. In 2012, City of Austin residents voted to change that system and now 10 members of the Council are elected based on geographic districts. The Mayor continues to be elected at-large.
District 8: District 8 contains three distinct neighborhoods, Oak Hill, Circle C and Travis Country. The district is bounded on the east by Brodie Lane, on the south by the Travis-Hays county line, on the north by Bee Cave road and on the west by the winding Austin city limits line. It also has the city's biggest and most infamous traffic bottleneck – the Oak Hill Y, the convergence of US 290 and SH 71, squeezing traffic heading to and from South MoPac Boulevard and out into the Hill Country.


text: "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." Psalms 23:1-3 Shepherds are the ultimate servants in service to their flock. They tend to their sheep, correct their paths, rest them, feed them, and love them. Of course, Jesus is the Shepherd, and we are His flock. That is the perfect description of Jesus because He does all of those things for us. In His arms, we don't need to want; we have everything we need. In His arms, we find rest, and in Him our souls are restored. It can be hard sometimes to remember all of that in times of desperation, stress, depression, and busy-ness. I know I tend to look at all of the issues in my life and pay more attention to them than Jesus. I worry about how to solve those problems rather than letting Jesus take it all. It's a simple concept, something we learn from the Bible and our pastors very early in our walk with the Lord: give it all to God. I feel like I don't do that sometimes, like I can handle everything life has for me on my own. But then God breaks me down and says, "Slow down, listen: I love you. I will take care of you." And praise the Lord that He is a faithful God, for he always fulfills His promises. There are those days when we do listen to Him, when we do seek Him, and He is faithful to fill us up and restore us. "He restores my soul." Amen! He fills us up every day, restoring us to full strength so that we, in turn, can give everything back to Him. When we seek Him, and sometimes when we don't, God takes care of us. He is our Shepherd, and in Him we don't need to want anything. He helps us rest, He leads us beside those still waters we so strongly need. He alone restores our soul, and He leads us into righteousness for His name sake. When you need rest, remember that God takes care of us, remember this Scripture. Pay attention to His powerful Word, and let it wash you anew. Want to find out more about what it means to have a personal relationship with God?

Little red rooster – Sculpture by Addé 2018
Little red rooster
Is the Universe chaotic? Well, it might be, or not…
What we know is that humanity behaves as a sort of cockerel , somehow chaotic, certainly unpredictable.
We are the red roosters of the solar system, and, perhaps, beyond.
Clearly, what most of us know about the Universe, is measurelessly far from the physicists' knowledge and praised be those of them who give their time and patience to give us, roosters, access.
« I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day »
Howlin' Wolf – Little Red Rooster ( Chess )
This sculpture has more effect on the Universe than astrology has ever had on anybody.

Decarbonize Your Portfolio: Low-Carbon Indices
As economies across the world begin their transition to a low-carbon model, following December's seminal climate summit in Paris, institutional investors will increasingly require tools to align their portfolios in order to reduce their carbon exposure.
Passive investment is a crucial part of this shift, and many innovations have been made in the low-carbon indices space to help investors achieve their targets.
Join global index specialist STOXX and experts from CDP and ISS ESG as they explore how innovative indices will flag the growing importance of climate issues in portfolios and encourage investment flows into low-emitting companies.
Panel session includes:
- Why should investors care about carbon risk?
- What range of products are available to help mitigate carbon risks?
- What are the advantages of using low-carbon indices (compared with active strategies)?
- How does the performance of low-carbon indices compare with mainstream equivalents?
- Willem John Keogh, Senior Product Development Manager, STOXX Limited

topic below for commentary.
Not Gay! The Judge Has Spoken
is hilarious is that this matter has brought into focus
the silliness of such absurd but powerful literary players
as Oprah Winfrey; by her own requirements for granting
her blessing on a book--surreal, surreal, surreal--she
was duped. Prissy Nan Talese, Frey's publisher, determined
that the book would be best presented as non-fiction,
rather than, as written, a novel. Now she's caught in
the awkward fuss.
there's J.T. LeRoy. Is he the real author of the sad,
sad books about a teenage hustler? Or did his 40-year-old
mentor write for him? What is wonderful is that he took
in the august New York Times that sent him to Paris to
cover some kind of festival, only to discover that he--whoever
he is--did not even attend. The fatuous remarks by those
"taken in" add hilarity to the whole thing;
Gus Van Sant says, "Who knows who he is? Am I Gus
Van Sant?"
Lord, why not just applaud the deceptions and put them
in the context--amusing, a relief, actually--of much greater
lies, like George W. Bush's, lies that have sent thousands
to death to support those lies.
are, I say, in the hierarchy of literary liars three ranks:
1. The biggest liar in the autobiographer, who dares to
say this is "true" because I experienced it,
although the most unreliable of all editors, memory, has
already made its thousand alterations. 2. The second in
the hierarchy of such liars is the biographer, who dares
to claim he/she--anyone!--can ever capture another's life.
(A sub-category would include historians.) 3. Third in
the category of literary practitioners is the only honest
one--the fiction writer, who claims, "This is a lie,
but I'll do everything I can to convince you it's true."
that those who deal in the greatest of all lies--newspaper
editors and writers that adjust the most monstrous of
events to suit editorial and political requirements--should
be so aghast. That hypocrisy should be the real area of
ethical exploration.

With download speeds approaching 25x what is nominally available to hi-speed cable customers, you could download a 300 megabyte file (like a 30 second commercial) in just seconds. Welcome to DOCSIS 3.0.
That is precisely what occurred at The Cable Show yesterday when Comcast president & CEO Brian Roberts provided a peek at the new technology.
Why the move toward a faster cable modem? You gotta love competition.
It seems that Verizon has been offering in select markets a service called FiOS that offers download speeds of 50 megabits per second with capacity right now for over 100 Mbps BUT it has the capacity to deliver speeds up to 622 mbps down and 155 mbps up. Holy-moly!
With a decent latency, you could frag any game player's socks off, take his rifle, and cap his flag before his body hit the ground. Gaming nirvana.
But what about pricing? Arrrrr, there's the rub.
Checking the Verizon website, they list a top service of 30 mbps (max) down and 5 mbps(up presumably) for $179 per month. But hey, installation is free!
Of course the disclaimers apply too such as these:
- Condition of wiring inside and outside your home
- The configuration of your computer
- The number of home computers and other networked equipment using the service at the same time
- Network or Internet congestion
- The server speeds of the Web sites you are accessing
- Other factors
Those came right from their pop up page on the Verizon site. So basically, we'll suck money out of you like a Hoover and when your 'speeds vary' off of what we have been ramming down your throat via marketing we point to this handy list and say 'it must be your (fill in the blank)' and it ain't us. Sorry. But keep sending us the contents of your wallet.

The first trailer for the highly-anticipated film gives us a glimpse into the dysfunctional Kapoor family. It takes us on a roller-coaster ride that we can all relate to. Just like us, the Kapoors laugh, cry and go through everything in between. But things like old age, lost love and betrayal take their toll, threatening to tear the family apart. Will their love remain intact? We'll find out soon!
Until then, here are 5 reasons why the Kapoor & Sons trailer is a HIT:
1. In under three minutes, the trailer made us laugh, tear up and more. It looks like this might be one of the few films that actually lives up to the label "dramedy".
2. Unsurprisingly, Alia Bhatt's chemistry with Sidharth Malhotra is off-the-charts. However, her scenes with Fawad Khan look promising as well. We don't know if we're #TeamSidharth or #TeamFawad yet, but we're looking forward to finding out!
3. If there's one thing Sidharth Malhotra is good at, it's playing an onscreen brother. His scenes with Akshay Kumar in Brothers were spectacular, and it looks like his rapport with Fawad Khan is going to be a highlight of Kapoor & Sons.
4. Two words: Rishi Kapoor. It seems like the actor is going to be an absolute delight in the film, and undoubtedly our favorite (fictional) Kapoor.
5. Most films showcase the happy, lovey-dovey side of family life. But everyone knows that things aren't always smooth-sailing in real-life families. We love how the Kapoor & Sons trailer shows us a real family, without making the family too dysfunctional.
After this amazing trailer, the only thing on our minds is, "How many days to March 18?"

Dry eye Disease(DED), as the name suggests, is the lack of moisture in the eyes that affects the formation of tears and the ocular (eye) surface. Predominantly caused by caused by 2 reasons either tear deficiency or excessive tear evaporation, the dry eye disease results in discomfort, visual disturbance and pain in the eyes. The severity of dry eyes symptoms ranges from slight discomfort and hazy vision to more uncomfortable eyelid abnormalities affecting thequality of life of the patient immensely. When there are underlying medical conditions, dry eyes might indicate immediate attention is required and warrants a definite course of medical treatment by a certified ophthalmologist.
How does one know if they are suffering from Dry Eyes, whether any intervention is needed, and to what degree? Though factors like old age, exposure to electronic screens and use of contact lenses are often the culprits, dry eye disease is not limited to these and can be caused by various other reasons. Here are some symptoms of dry eyes to watch out for1:
Itchy eyes:Caused by lower tear levels in the eyes, itchy eyes can manifest itself as slight or severe discomfort in the patient. A feeling of irresistible itch and the subsequent pain due to scratching can be quite frustrating. It is important to note the frequency and causes of itchy eyes. Does it occur after prolonged screen time or after spending hours in low humidity spaces? Sometimes itchiness may be caused by tiredness and may not warrant a medical intervention other thana few lifestyle changes.
Redness in the eyes: Dry eye patients often complain about redness in the eyes,asa lack of hydration in the eyes creates friction on the ocular surface. It isa common complaint that patients feel as if something is stuck in the eye or they feel a grainy sensation on the eyelids. With every blink it creates discomfort thereby causing redness.
Blurred Vision: Blurred vision is one of themost common symptoms of dry eyes. You may feel the presence of a foreign object in your eye causing distortion in what you see or a hazy image formation. You would also often have difficulty recognizing people or reading, or even using stairs due to the blurred vision.
Secondary reflex watering: This isa vicious cycle, as lack of hydration itself is the cause of dry eyes. However, it may be a reflex reaction where your body is sending you a hazard signal that your eyes are not receiving the lubrication they need. It is best to consult a doctor who can assess the true cause of excessively watery eyes. Again, it is important to distinguish between ocular surface allergies and infections with dry eye, as the symptoms can often overlap, watery eyes being one of the most common ones.
Medical practitioners would often diagnose patients based on structured questionnaires and offer treatment based on the severity of the disease. Symptoms and sensitivity of dry eyes have been classified into:
Dry eye disease is a condition that can be controlled and managed well even if it can't be cured completely. Hence, early detection and diagnosis can improve a patient's quality of life to a great extent. Using artificial tears like Blink Tears Lubricating Eye Drops can also help in this regard which is supported by studies conducted on the application of eye drops to patients suffering from dry eyes2. As dry eyes tends to affect more people based on age, sex, exposure to different environments and lifestyles, it is important to watch for the signs early on.

Brewster BW372.
Hommage to Brewster.
This is unique in the whole world – Brewster BW372.
This fighter, the export version: Brewster B-239, F2A-1 is Brewster BW372 which I am presenting to You. It is the only one Brewster which is nearly in its "original" shape. This Brewster belongs to The National Museum of Naval Aviation at Pensacola, Florida USA and is loaned to Finland in early 2008 when Finnish Air Force was celebrating its 90 years anniversary at March 6th, 2009.
Why in Finland? Well, that is long story, but some simple lines:
When WWII, Finland bought from the States 44 Brewsters. With these fighters the Finnish war pilots gained 447 air victories. Ration to victories was 32:1 and that is much in the whole world. According this statistics Brewster was exceptional good aircraft. This Brewster BW372 was shot down in June 25th, 1942. The pilot called Lauri Pekuri had to make an emergency landing in the lake Big Kolejärvi in Russia. In 1998 it was recovered from the lake badly damaged. After that it was transferred to Pensacola in August 18th, 2004 and the Finns promised to restore it to that condition when it was when lifted from the lake Big Kolejärvi. Now this unique fighter can be admired in Tikkakoski Finnish Aviation Museum (Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseo) nearby city of Jyväskylä.
Brewster BW372 is returning to Pensacola in 2011.

In a jubilant ceremony before a packed East Room audience, President Obama today used 20 pens to sign landmark legislation extending health-care coverage to 32 million Americans.
Saying he was signing the bill into law on behalf of his late mother and millions of others who had fought with insurers over coverage, Obama also invoked past leaders who had worked to overhaul the system from the Clintons to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, whose wife Vicki, son Patrick, and niece Caroline were in the audience.
Also on hand for the event were Democratic leaders from both houses of Congress — many of whom excitedly posed for pictures with one another before the event began — HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (whose agency will be in charge of implementing the changes in the bill), and Connie Anderson (the sister of a Ohio woman who became the White House's symbol for ordinary people facing sky-rocketing premiums after writing to the president late last year).
"The bill I'm signing will set in motion reforms that generations of Americans have fought for, and marched for, and hungered to see," the president said. "Our presence here today is remarkable and improbable. With all the punditry, all of the lobbying, all of the game-playing that passes for governing in Washington, it's been easy at times to doubt our ability to do such a big thing, such a complicated thing."
The White House has couched the battle to pass legislation overhauling the nation's health care system in historic terms, comparing it to the fight to pass Social Security, Medicare, and the Civil Rights legislation. Today's ceremony marked a major step, because the health-care bill became law the moment the president signed it, even though the Senate must still take up and pass a package of fixes to it.
The boisterous crowd frequently interrupted the president with applause, chanting "Nancy" when he thanked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, cheering loudly for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and giving a standing ovation to Nancy-Ann DeParle, a top health adviser to the president.
After the East Room signing ceremony, the president traveled to the Department of the Interior to deliver a speech on the health care bill before some 600 people, including members of Congress, Cabinet and other administration officials, health-care advocates, doctors, nurses, and people who wrote letters to the president about their health care challenges.
In fact, one of the women who wrote to the president, Dawn Stone, is from Brooklyn, IA, which is some 50 miles from Iowa City, where the president is scheduled to hold a health-care rally on Thursday. Stone and her husband dropped their coverage after losing their jobs and ended up with $100,000 in medical debt after her husband fell ill.
The afternoon speech, which Obama said was to thank supporters of the health-care bill, marked the sixth off-campus event where the president has promoted health care in the past few weeks.
"After a century of striving, after a year of debate after a historic vote, health care reform is no longer an unmet promise, it is the law of the land," he said."
Now that the bill has passed, the White House is focused on selling it to voters since many Democrats who voted for the bill face tough re-election battles in the fall. Obama often describes the legislation as a victory for the American people over insurers and the White House believes the bill's passage could put Democrats in a good place politically if they can explain to voters what their party voted to support — a ban on lifetime coverage limits, a requirement that insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions, prescription-drug help for seniors, expanding coverage — and what the other side voted against.
"Now let me tell you what change looks like, because those fighting change are still out there, still making a lot of noise about what this reform means," the president said as he laid out these measures and called on people to go to www.whitehouse.gov or any "credible" news organization's website to learn more what the bill will mean for them.
The president said there was still much work to be done to rebuild the economy and improve the education. Among the administration's other big goals are comprehensive immigration and energy legislation, new rules of the road to govern the financial system, and finding ways to mitigate a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing companies to contribute directly to political campaigns.
"We all know our journey is far from over," he said, arguing that passing this legislation was a good step toward those goals. "As we tackle all these other challenges we face, as we continue on this journey, we can take our next steps with new confidence, with a new wind at our backs, because we know it's still possible to do big things in America."

Watching the pitch change while deploying full flaps was amazing!
In Part 1 we covered turbine engine start up and take off!
Link to Part 1 of the TBM850 series:
PPL / IFR Turboprop Flying – TBM850 – Turbine engine start – ATC audio + Ferrari 🙂
My favourite quote from Osama about why he loves owning a TBM850:
"You can do what airliners can do without a single support person. I am not exaggerating here… You are the line guy, flight attendant, PIC, weatherman, dispatcher and everything else. That is what flying is all about for me. *I* am responsible for EVERYTHING. I can fly from Miami to Oshawa in 3:30 at 31,000 feet and I do not need to involve anyone but myself … including pulling the plane out of the hanger and putting it back in. "

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minnesota Timberwolves may have lost Sunday evening, but Target Center was graced by the appearance of champions nonetheless.
In a fun little gag, the USA Curling Team came out onto the court disguised as a cleaning crew to remove up some streamers carelessly left by the Crunch the Wolf.
Their method of cleaning up the streamers was suspicious, however, and soon they were revealed as the Olympic champions.
Check out the video below:
The group won Olympic gold after beating Sweden in the championship match. Four of the five members are from Minnesota and call the Duluth Curling Club their home.
It was the first curling gold medal for the U.S.
The Houston Rockets fended off a fourth-quarter rally and beat the Timberwolves 129-120.

i want to have an epidurial towards the end so i dont feel any pain, why do many people say you shouldnt?
Hi Kristen! I don't know first hand, but I've heard that sometimes the timing for the ep is off and you wind up hurting just as badly. And I've also heard that it makes labor last longer. Not sure if its true, just what I heard from a nurse friend of mine while she was pg. Personally, I would do what I felt was right for me, and not put too much into what others say. Its between you and your dr. Good luck!!! -kelly
Have one, they are great. You really can enjoy the moment.
alot of people says it slows down labor and delivery.personally didn't do that to me eaither times.have had 2.but i will say .do not let them give you demorall.or however you spell it.practically stopped my labor and made it last 17 1/2 hours.
my sister had 2 kids without an epidural the first she only had 3 contractions and the baby was born that labor only lasted 15 minutes the second lasted maybe 2 hours she said she would never have an eidural plus they say that the pain meds keep the baby from being alert when it is born

The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive insect pest that has been in the news for a number of years. This insect is now active in Sussex County. It only infests ash trees and fringe trees.
The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive insect pest that has been in the news for a number of years. This insect is now active in Sussex County. It only infests ash trees and fringe trees. One of the first indicators is a decrease in the foliage cover of the canopy of the ash trees. This is generally not something most homeowners would necessarily notice if it is a gradual or slight decline, or it may accidentally be attributed to another cause. Once the canopy has decreased by only 30 percent, the tree is already seriously compromised and will likely die.
Visible evidence from the insect itself is extraordinarily difficult to see initially, just a tiny 3-4mm D-shaped hole in the bark, high up in the tree's crown. Once there is a large enough population of larvae inside the tree, woodpeckers will begin foraging under the bark to consume the larvae. It is woodpecker activity that is much more visible to homeowners. More and more ash trees with large areas of bark chiseled off are being spotted across municipalities in Sussex County.
It is important to understand that by the time the woodpeckers are active on the tree, it is highly likely the tree has already been so compromised that it will likely succumb to the insect activity. According to state Department of Agriculture experts, infested trees will live approximately three or four years and then 99 percent of them will die. Dead ash trees do not stay standing like some other species of trees, they will fall within two to three years of dying and are a hazard that homeowners and tree removal services need to take very seriously.
Healthy ash trees can be protected with systemic insecticides. Homeowners keen to protect their ash trees should consider contacting a certified tree expert to make an assessment of the trees on their property and put together a plan to protect their trees. Some individual trees may have genetic resistance to the insect, and will be identified by their ability to survive the infestation, but only time will tell.
Because of the volume of trees that will be impacted simultaneously, communities and municipalities will benefit from working together to create plans for large scale removal of hazardous trees. It is more cost effective to remove trees that are recently identified as infested, because the structural integrity of the tree has not yet been totally compromised. Dead trees are a safety hazard for homeowners and tree removal services alike, and may be more expensive to remove safely.
For more information about Emerald Ash Borer, visit the New Jersey Department of Agriculture website https://www.nj.gov/agriculture/divisions/pi/prog/emeraldashborer.html. For help identifying ash trees, contact Rutgers Cooperative Extension, visit http://www.njaes.rutgers.edu/garden/ , or contact Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Sussex County by phone at 973-948-3040.
Lisa Chiariello is the Master Gardener coordinator for Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Sussex County. She can be reached at 973-948-3040 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi, first time writing here. So I have a question about my CPU(maybe it's not CPU s fault at all), ever since I installed my SSD my CPU began acting(then again, I doubt it's SSD's fault either), my PC is like month, month and a half old, it worked like a charm, but then started happening, first I thought SSD was faulty but I tested it and it proven to be working just fine, but my CPU on the other hand went nuts, in Ryzen Master whenever it was idle it'd go from like 1ghz to 3.x GHz and worked like a charm while gaming, and now after (LITERALLY) 5, 6 clean windows installs it still shows locked 3.4 GHz with voltage going up to 1.5 etc., it never goes under 3.3 GHz.. The thing is I never touched anything but RAM (3200 MHz ram, using 3000 MHz profile).. I have no idea what to do, everything in BIOS is default, on PC everything is default.. even as I write this I reinstalled windows like 15 minutes ago, first startup started showing fine like it was before, restarted PC and it's back at 3.4 GHz, also got BSOD with DCOM error, games work much worse, I played Fort at 150-250 fps now I get the same fps but with frequent stutter which is eating me up
Kingston hyper x 8gb 3200mhz
Asus prime a320m-k MBO
HELP PLS! if you need more info I'd be glad to give it and also I'd like to apologize for a mess of a post but I'm nervous and in a hurry.. Thanks in advance

Discovery, Appearance And BehaviourEditAt a jaw-dropping 17m long and weighing up to 11 tonnes, it was even larger than the mighty Tyrannosaurus. The story of this giant killing machine is a recent one. Although bones were found and described between 1912 and 1915 in Egypt, it's only in the last few years that a skeleton has been reconstructed properly. Earlier reconstructions had it look much more like an Allosaurus especially in terms of its skull, and making it much smaller as an animal overall. It would have been a formidable predator of North Africa's giant fish 100 Million Years Ago. The long narrow skull is very similar to modern crocodiles and Spinosaurus lived and hunted in water and on land, as crcodiles do today. The most distinguishing feature of this enormous dinosaur are the 1.5-2 metre neural spines running along its back. They formed a sail that could have been used to regulate heat, to deter enemies or to attract potential mates. Probably all
In Popular CultureEdit
In the documentry Monsters Ressurected spinosaurus was inaccurately shown to pick up a 26 foot rugops in it's 6 foot jaws, kill a carcharodontosaurus in one blow and tear open a saurosuhus. In the documentary Planet Dinosaur Spinosaurus is shown hunting a giant sawfish called Oncripistis.

Something happened. A switch flipped in my head. Suddenly simple decisions that used to go one way now go another with absolute clarity.
Case 1. Television
One week of TV Turn Off Week and I realized, I don't have any reason I want to watch television. I don't miss it and I can't think of a single way it has improved me, with the possible exception of some cooking shows I suppose. But the decision to stop entirely was very easy to make when it was something I struggled with for years before.
Case 2. Gaming
One day it clicked and I can't understand why I even spent hundreds of hours playing pointless game. WoW, EQ, XBox, N64, Wii, where did the time go? What did I get for it? How could I have paid that much cost and have so little to show for it.
Case 3. Working Out
I started working with a personal trainer. I do cardio all the time. I want to do these things that before I struggled with doing even once a week. I schedule around my training sessions and I plan cardio sessions because I look forward to them. If you had told me 2 months ago I could still be like this, I'm not sure I would have believed you.
Case 4. Eating
It has become so much easier to make healthy choices at restaurants. I don't feel obliged to eat everything on my plate. I avoid most sauces, sweet sauces especially. I eat lots more vegetables. It has become hard to pick the bad choices and I am unhappy when that is all the choice I have. I will go out of my way to get something better for me because I know I value it and it is important to me.
Case 5. Going Dry
Yesterday, it crystallized for me that I no longer value smoking and drinking. The idiosyncrasies I cherished in smoking strange things – clove cigarettes, hookah, imports, pipe – just don't matter enough to pay the physical cost. In fact, what I valued before was just a superficial trait that isn't important to me now.
It is the same with alcohol. I loved the variety. I loved learning to enjoy the many varied traits of a drink. I even loved connecting with people by sharing their ethnic drinks. The only one of those I might miss is connecting with people and if I can't find other ways to connect, I can't be trying very hard.
The point is, suddenly, scales that were broken inside me, scales I used to judge where to put my time, my energy, my health, my love, those scales are working again and working full time. They don't stop. Everything I do is judged. Things found wanting are thrown out. It is frightening because I barely recognize the me that I feel I am becoming. It is hard to tell if I am becoming more me or becoming someone new.
As my life simplifies under the weight of these scales, I know that something remarkable is happening. I don't understand it but it IS getting easier to decide what to do now based on my values. Everything is much clearer and the fog that confused me is rapidly burning away. I'm overjoyed that at least some things I valued are still tremendously important to me. Going to St. John's College. Loving my wife. Helping people. I never completely lost my way but it is suddenly like I've moved into the express lanes of my live and most of the distractions are dropping away.
Change is frightening, even terrifying, but I think I'm in for a wild ride.

The Internet's Own Boy, Aaron Swartz
I watched an amazing documentary last night on an American programmer, internet prodigy, and political activist, Aaron Swartz. It was one of the more riveting docs I've seen in a while. Aaron Swartz, although unknown to me, was on the same level as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, etc. Although I felt, he may have been smarter than either of them. Swartz, however, wasn't solely motivated by money, ego, and commercial success as I tend to think of Jobs and Gates. I'm not saying that that is a bad thing, depending upon the circumstances, as I can appreciate and enjoy computers and how they've enhanced our lives, and so forth. Yet at the same time I've read some things about Jobs, and I'd assume Gates as well, that would put them under some harsh lights as far as their personality, ego, and business dealings would go. Being a outsider, it's hard to get a truthful picture of some of these things anyway.
Back to Aaron Swartz though. The doc is pretty amazing in that I'm amazed at people with high IQs and how they apply them so well. The thing I liked about Swartz also was that he wasn't totally motivated by money or greed. He could see social injustices and tried to correct them, something that got him in trouble with the government. The government eventually brought him up on charges, although it was not proven and an allegation, however, the money is always in their court, along with the law, so to speak, in some cases, you are guilty until proven innocent. It's a shame. It's a shame that our government can't think more outside the box, be more intelligent in their handling of matters, be less bureaucratic, more transparent, less corrupt, but I guess we are talking about the real world. The film did make me angry in the end, and is one of the reasons I'm not always so quick to be so flag-wavingly patriotic about our nation.
On a lighter note, here's a long Jack Kirby interview conducted by The Comics Journal, Gary Groth.
