Starting the Conversation: The Sad Collective
•August 01, 2017 •
Vulnerability is power. An ironic statement to most, but not to the team at The Sad Collective. It's extremely difficult, to say the least, to be honest with oneself let alone be open and honest with others. I know this from personal experience, and I'm pretty confident most of you feel the same way. So how do we fix this? How do we restructure this mindset that vulnerability is a weakness? Just under a year ago, NVSN wanted to encourage the idea of sharing through anonymity with the Journal, found here. Our goal was to give members of the community...

To the NVSN Community: Thank you. Thank you for your kind words, thank you for welcoming me into this safe space with open arms and a warm heart. As a follow up to my previous post, many were asking what provoked me to open up and share something so personal; something so frowned upon, something so taboo. For me, it was my thirst for the truth. It was my desire to pursue a life of honesty, integrity, authenticity and reliability in the hope of inspiring a generation to make better choices for themselves.

Republicans say Obama's Supreme Court pick must be mainstream
Monday, April 12, 2010
Senate Republican leaders declined to rule out a filibuster of President Obama's nominee to succeed retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, if they think the pick falls outside the judicial mainstream.
While calling each of the most commonly mentioned candidates to succeed Stevens "nominally qualified," Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) would not take the filibuster off the table. But he said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that it is "unlikely" Republicans will use the procedural move to block the nominee except under "extraordinary circumstances."
Among those widely believed to be under consideration for the nomination are Solicitor General Elena Kagan, federal judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Stevens announced Friday that he plans to retire at the end of the court's current term. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), predicted Sunday that Obama's nominee will be confirmed before the new court session begins in the fall.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) didn't rule out a filibuster if the president chooses someone from "the fringe instead of the middle" or someone who would "apply their feelings" instead of the law. Asked if he would support a filibuster of any of the potential nominees said to be on Obama's shortlist, Alexander said on "Fox News Sunday" that he is "not about to start picking nominees I would reject before the president even makes one." He said he believes that qualified nominees should receive an up-or-down vote, pointing to his vote to confirm Obama's first choice for the high court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Appearing opposite Kyl, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the chances of a GOP filibuster are "tiny" because it is "just about a certainty that the president will nominate someone in the mainstream." Schumer criticized Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who was nominated by President George W. Bush, for trying to move the court "very far to the right." Schumer said that he would like the new justice "to be one of five, not one of four" on split decisions, and that the nominee should be someone, like Stevens, "who would be quite persuasive to the other justices."
The Judiciary Committee's ranking Republican, Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), said that whether the GOP filibusters Obama's eventual nominee is up to the president. Echoing his Republican colleagues, Sessions warned that if the pick does not fall within the mainstream, "every power should be utilized to protect the Constitution."

Chakra Clearing with Kathleen James and Bobby Kitsios
1:00-3:00pm / Fee: $20
What you think about not only affects how you feel about yourself: it creates experiences in your life, which correspond to those feelings. When you believe something to be true your experiences will fall in line with your belief. In other words, your attitudes and opinions attract things to you like a magnet.
One way to affirm ourselves is by examining our attitudes and if necessary, changing those, which are negative. When we change our feelings about ourselves to become more positive and affirmative, our energy changes: we lighten up and look and feel great.
In this workshop, you will receive positive affirmations in relation to each of the chakras while in a relaxed state. This will give you an opportunity to change what you are saying to yourself and create the change you may be seeking in your life.

About the game:
It is a collection RPG. Players summon a group of monsters and use them to fight their way through an increasingly more difficult series of battles. After most levels the player earns Runes which most of the gamea€™s depth comes from. Engraving a rune on a monster adds a buff particular to that rune. Some runes might increase defence, while another may enhance attack or accuracy. Each rune can also be powered up to make it stronger. This rune system is essential to doing well in battle as it can be used to cover up weaknesses in monsters. Amusingly, both attack and healing power is governed by a monstera€™s attack stat, so Fatal runes that increase attack also cause that monster to heal more HP when curing allies. Go figure.

Oh how you have grown.
As I hear the stories you share with us I am often in disbelief that there was a time a short while ago when you could not share these thoughts with us. But now you talk for days and ask questions ( so many questions) and use your imagination. You can run and climb, help cook and read stories and so so much more.
But my favorite, how you reach for my hand and hold it tight. Whether we are walking or lying on the couch, even in the car, you reach for me.

I've always appreciated a fine bottle of wine now and then, so when my client in Beverly Hills asked me to install flooring in his newly built wine cellar, I grabbed a bottle and did a little bit of research first. That's because the climate inside a wine cellar is different from the rest of your home. It's a lot more humid and typically cooler, so the flooring needs to be able to withstand these conditions. It also has to be able to bear the weight of the wine bottles and racks, which can easily get up to several tons. This was my first-ever wine cellar, and I had to get it right.
I suggested to my client choices that work well in wine cellars: cork, porcelain tile or stone, sealed cement and hardwood. He decided to go with the strong, exotic look of Tigerwood, a Brazilian species known for its, well, tiger-like appearance. Tigerwood is a dense, heavy wood that wears well, so it's a good choice for the wine cellar environment.
We started off by sealing the cement, then putting down a moisture barrier. After the wood acclimated for a week, we spread a layer of glue, put down plywood, another layer of glue and finally the Tigerwood.
Et voilà!
A beautiful wine cellar that would be the pride of any connoisseur. Now all that's needed is to sit back and enjoy a good glass of red.
But of course when you run your own business, you never really sit back and relax, so it's back to Irvine and our full-home renovation. Things are moving along right on schedule. We're done the demo and are now into Phase II, the remodeling. We're starting in that big, fourth bedroom upstairs. You remember, the former studio with the soaring ceilings.
The clients are really after maximizing space and value (aren't we all?), and with only one full bath and one ¾ bath on an upper level with four bedrooms, we decided to turn that big room into a suite with a bathroom of its own. Thanks to the sink in the room and another bathroom on the other side of the wall, the plumbing is already in place, which makes the construction easier and less expensive for the client. Their preteen will be using that room, but once it's done, it will also make a perfect, private guest room, or a nanny's room if they were to resell to a family that needs one. Options, versatility, that's the name of the game.
With the sink and wardrobe gone, what you see below is the framing for what will be the bathroom and the laundry room which will be built on the opposite side of the bathroom.
We decided to move the laundry room upstairs to make room for a first floor office. Don't worry, we'll insulate the walls real well so Mr. Preteen doesn't get woken up
to the sound of his socks drying. But more about that later.
With such high ceilings in this room, we're making a loft over the bathroom and
laundry room which will be a fun place for Junior to hang out and read, listen
to tunes, or simply daydream…
We're also working on the framing for the new living room space, which, if you recall, will have an expanded kitchen and extended dining room.
Until next time, grab yourself a glass of vino and enjoy life.
By the way, speaking of wine cellars, do you know where the biggest wine cellar in the world is located? Post your answer below (no cheating all you Google-holics). Winner gets a bottle of wine compliments of Eden Flooring and Construction, Inc.
Have you ever considered a wine cellar of your own? Contact Doron at 949-279-2011 or email@example.com.

On Saturday my mom and I had a gardening party. We spent about 8 hours weeding the gardening, getting it ready for planting and then finally planting the vegetables. It was hard work that both my mom and I are not used since we both spend most of our days in air conditioned offices, but...this is something I enjoy. It is actually one of my favorite things to do! I love gardening and honestly I can't wait until the day I get to have my own garden! And one of my other most favorite things is fresh garden vegetables! I can't wait till we get to enjoy them!

The 50/50 tire worked well, but since our daughter uses the Cabo 150 as a daily transport for school when the time came for a new tire we opted for a more street designated tire. The Shinko sr723 has been a good choice for the street so far; let's see how it does in the dirt.
The tread on the new tire doesn't look that much less aggressive than the one it replaced, but let us assure you it is. As we took it off road there was a lot of slipping and sliding trying to climb a hill in the leaves. The leaves on the ground were wet and that made it a bit more difficult. We attempted this hill a couple of times, but the surface was too loose and slippery.
Final determination; this long steep hill was a "no go" with the new tires, so we decided to try a nice dry stream crossing.
We are happy to say, as long as the ground was dry the street tires held their own and after this pic the Cabo pulled right out of here, and we were on our way. Trying to find the next good spot for another pic we came across a scenic pond.
With enough mud on the tires for one day, we made our way back to the hard-top road and headed home. The Cabo still did everything we expected of it, it was just the tires that weren't up to the task in some places. The bottom line? If you plan on exploring a few fishing trails and back roads. It will be best to stick to the 50/50 dirt and street tires. They don't last quite as long, but the trade off is good traction in the rough stuff. If dirt is not on the menu the 723 Shinko did a fine job. Either way, we know our tires here and can help you choose the right ones. We just love the testing part, too!

Many different types of material are hazardous to our waterways.
How you can help keep our waterways clean
- Wash your vehicle on the grass or take it to an environment-friendly car wash at a service station. This will reduce the amount of runoff and water your lawn at the same time.
- When using water-based paint, clean up over soil or grass.
- When using oil-based paint keep paints, turps and solvents clear of gutters and drains.
- Reuse turps once paint has settled. Allow unused paint to dry out and then put in the bin.
- Sweep your driveway regularly rather than hosing the rubbish away (this includes leaves and grass clippings). Soak up spills with kitty litter, sawdust, or dirt and put it in the rubbish.
- Don't hose household cleaners, concrete cleaning or any other chemicals down the stormwater drain.
- Dispose of excess paint and chemicals in the hazardous waste area at landfills.
- Regularly service your car. This stops leaking oil getting into the stormwater system. It only takes one litre of oil to contaminate a thousand tonnes of water.
- Empty your pool or spa into the sewer.

There are several ways that you can avoid an unwanted run-in with the law, including: Stay attentive: Be on the lookout for law enforcement and any illegal activities that may be going on around you. If you see something suspicious, keep your distance. Most importantly, do not ever purchase or hold drugs for or from someone you do not know. Drink plenty of water: Bonnaroo is held in the middle of summer and temperatures frequently reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit and above. Hot temperatures can cause you to lose water through sweat and hinder your body's ability to process alcohol, causing you to become intoxicated more easily. Staying hydrated can not only protect you against heatstroke, but it could also save you from an arrest for public intoxication or unruly behavior. Stay calm: While Bonnaroo is meant to be a fun time, it can get a little rowdy at times. Keep your composure and stick with people you know. If anyone attempts to agitate you or start a fight, walk away. Getting into a physical altercation with another festival-goer can get you thrown out of the festival and in the back of a squad car on assault charges. 2017 Bonnaroo Information & Lineup 2017 Bonnaroo will take place June 8th – 11th at Great State Park in Manchester, Tennessee.

WATCH: We're in recession, what now?
05 September 2018 - 08:27
SA officially entered a technical recession following a 0.7% contraction in second-quarter GDP after a 2.6% (revised up from 2.2%) contraction in the first quarter.
The largest negative contributors to growth in the second quarter were agriculture, transport and trade, while the largest positive contributions came from mining, finance, real estate and business services.
Citadel chief economist and advisory partner Maarten Ackerman joined Business Day TV to talk about the economy and what can be done to reverse the trend.
WBHO reported its annual results on Tuesday, recording an 8% increase in headline earnings per share. This was fuelled by a strong performance at its Australian division. Where revenue there came ...

Tiger Woods has made his highly anticipated return to the green, and there is some suspicion that it may have been too soon.
The former top champ of golf champ is creating waves in the Bahamas at the Hero World Challenge, but not for good reasons. Tiger Woods is currently tied for tenth (-4) as the final round of the tournament opens tomorrow.
"My dad and I had this idea of having this event and I just think that over these years that my dad would have been very proud of what we've been able to accomplish." – @TigerWoods #heroworldchallenge pic.twitter.com/9trri6tooE

Round One
Tiger started out strong. Tommy Fleetwood lead at -6, with Woods only 3 strokes behind. He shot a first-round 69 after 10 months of a break. He had five birdies and two bogeys. His fused spine wasn't stopping him.

Round Two
Tiger Woods was still looking good in the second round, ending up with a 4-under 68 round. He finished just 5 strokes behind the leader, Charley Hoffman and was looking very strong. 10 months off of golf is nothing to sneeze at. As a professional, Tiger has logged countless hours for practice and it shows in the effortless return, though he does look rough at the end of the round.
Round Three
The break seems to have finally caught up with the 41 year-old, 14-time champion. He posted a 3-over 75 in a sloppy, windy round. It started off with a bogey right off the bat, and went downhill from there. Tiger Woods managed to keep it slightly competitive and have an eagle, but one wonders if his past exploits have caught up with him.
All eyes will be on the former champ tomorrow, to see what he can pull out. A second place finish isn't far out of his reach.

I am ready. I am ready for the machining.
When last we met, I was in the garage taking the heads off. Well, I had to put them back on temporarily, as well as the intake manifold so I could lift the engine with the hoist once again. I did this to remove the flywheel off the back of the engine. In order to really get the bolts off the flywheel I had to wedge a large screwdriver into the teeth of the flywheel and brace it against the rest of the engine so it wouldn't move when I was torquing on the bolts. I'd have taken a picture of it, but both hands were full at the time.
Flywheel came off, put the engine back on the stand. Took off all the external bits, like the motor mounts, main pulley etc. Rotated the engine over, so the bottom is facing up, then took off the oil pan to reveal the crankshaft.
To get the harmonic balancer off, I had to buy a special tool that fits onto the bolt holes previously occupied by the main pulley assembly. Then you screw in a large main bolt that presses into the crankshaft and pulls off the harmonic balancer.
|Don't do it this way.
Then I removed the power steering fluid reservoir.
Then it was onto taking the pistons out of the cylinders. With the engine still upside-down, you can rotate the crankshaft (using the same bolt that held the harmonic balancer on the front, and a socket wrench) until two pistons are at "bottom dead center" that is they are all the way down in the cylinder. Then undo the two nuts that hold the bottom of the piston rod to the crankshaft.
|Cap removed.
|Just seven more to go.
Here's a diagram of the piston numbers and firing order (shown in the circle).
|All pistons out.
Then removed some of the "oil gallery" plugs, but I stripped one. Finally, I put a 1/4" wide 3' long steel rod down in through the newly opened oil gallery plug hole (which runs the length of the engine) in order to push agains the tap-in oil plugs on the front of the engine, and hammered them out.
I now am ready to take the parts to the machine shop.
Does anyone know what to do with lifters/pistons/crankshafts/camshafts etc. that you're not using anymore? I mean they have to be worth *something*, yeah?

Kiel University researchers have developed an environmentally-friendly coating that rids ship hulls of marine organisms such as barnacles, algae and shells.
It is a known fact that barnacles quickly overgrow ship hulls and attack their lacquer coating as part of a process called 'biofouling.' This in turn increases the weight of the ship and its flow resistance, causing a surge in fuel consumption and higher CO2 emissions.
Now a research team from the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) and the Phi-Stone AG, a spin-off of the CAU based in Kiel, has developed a coating that not only impedes the colonization of marine organisms but also makes it easier to clean ships.
"We assume that biofouling increases the fuel consumption of ships by up to 40 percent. That costs the transportation industry over $150 billion a year worldwide and unnecessarily pollutes the environment, "says Ingo Paulowicz, CEO of CAU spin-off Phi-Stone.
In addition, there is a considerable cleaning and maintenance effort to free the hulls of barnacles and other adhering organisms and repaint them again. Many of the existing protective coatings like organotin paints are already banned because of their massive environmental impact.
The newly developed coating is said to combine environmental friendliness with durability. The product is solvent-free and does not release any polluting substances into the sea.
Moreover, the smooth surface of the coating makes it difficult for organisms to cling to the hulls and attack the coating. "This way, the biocorrelation-resistant paint is preserved for a longer time, and barnacles or shells can be brushed off easily and quickly," explains Dr Martina Baum, Technical Biologist from the working group Functional Nanomaterials.
Together with her former doctoral student, materials scientist Iris Hölken, Baum investigated the soil-reducing properties of a polymer composite based on polythiourethane (PTU) and specially shaped ceramic particles. They improve the mechanical properties of the coating and the adhesion of the paint to the ship's surface.
The researchers first tested the new product with Schleswig-Holstein companies in the water basins of the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel and on ships.
"These tests went very well," says Baum. "On the 'African Forest', which runs from Belgium to Gabon in Central Africa, we were able to detect significantly less fouling after two years with the coating. And he just got away with a sponge. "

For 30 years, the Disabled Surfers Association (DSA) has been giving disabled people the opportunity to share the exhilaration of surfing. The South Coast branch is holding its last event for the summer next week – its 15th Annual Hands On Day at Gerroa.
"We are not teaching people to surf, we're just giving them a surfing experience and making them feel special for the day," says Kiama's Jim Bradley. "It is a way for the surfing fraternity to give back for a few hours."
Last year's event attracted over 250 people to the beach, including carers and volunteers. "We have the voluntary power to handle any situation," says Jim. "We have a minimum care ratio of 6:1, but it can be up to 30:1 for severe physical disability."
Years of experience has established safety protocols and procedures, so DSA can offer the experience to people with the full spectrum of disability.
"Our aim is to put smiles on dials. We feed everyone, and participants go home with a trophy.
"People enjoy the experience so much they plan their holidays around the Australia-wide events."
The organisation gets no government funding, and new volunteers are always welcome.

State College
How one mom is making grocery shopping easier
Most mornings begin the same way for Lindsay Fairman, pouring orange juice with one hand, tapping code into her iPad with the other. They are a carefully choreographed dance of getting breakfast in bellies, backpacks packed and the day's coding started. It's been the State College software developer's routine for about the past four years.
Four years ago, soon after the birth of her first child, Fairman encountered a problem not uncommon to working mothers: finding time to shop for groceries. Both she and her husband were working full time, and previously foreign items — things like diapers and baby food — now couldn't wait.
"It became almost every day that we were having to swing by the store on our way to pick him up from day care," she said. "It's delaying 20 minutes here, 30 minutes here, and I finally said there's got to be something better and more convenient."
So the new mom, equipped with an engineer's mind, decided to build her own solution. She founded FairTech Labs and its platform Shelf Scouter, a digital pantry geared toward helping moms manage the morass of grocery shopping. After getting a tip from her hairdresser, the former Raytheon systems engineer got involved with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, enrolling in the accelerator's boot camp and earning her then 9-month-old company a $2,500 check as part of the experience.
In the eyes of the judges, the State College company's brand filled a need.
"At the time the digital services and conveniences of grocery shopping, they just weren't coming about yet — it was the old-fashioned style of traditional grocery shopping," Fairman said. "So that's what I was looking at, and I thought going directly to the consumer was the first way to get started."
But since then the company, and Fairman's family, has continued to grow. She welcomed her third child in June, about the same time when Shelf Scouter pivoted from a direct-to-consumer model to working with the grocery stores themselves.
Once again, Fairman was experiencing deja vu: a new baby, a new business decision, a new bundle of diapers and development.
"I became the woman in here with the baby stroller," she said, laughing. "You don't have a maternity leave when you're running your own company, so fortunately I'm able to work from home. But then you are also working at home in the evening after they go to bed."
Now the SAS, or software as a service, platform helps local, independent grocers provide eCommerce options to their customers. It will help them compete with the big chains, she said, while still providing the neighborhood service that sets them apart. According to a 2015 National Grocers Association consumer survey, almost nine out of 10 shoppers said it was "very" or "somewhat important" to them to buy local from their primary supermarket.
"The small grocery stores do not have the manpower to build these technologies on their own like the large ones do," she said. "But more consumers now want to shop at their local store and have the great level of customer service that you don't find at the larger ones."
This fall, the company launched pilots in two stores and is working with partners in Cincinnati, home to big retailers and developers such as Kroger, Nielsen and Proctor and Gamble. In December, Shelf Scouter received a $100,000 investment from Ben Franklin Technology Partners to facilitate the shift in focus.
Improvising has been a challenge, Fairman said, but being a mom and running your own company tend to make dealing with the unknown routine.
"Every day you have to figure out where am I needed most," she said. "There have been days where I've had a day filled up with meetings and the night before the kids get sick."
So which is harder — being Mom or being the boss?
"There's no question — by the minute, there's the mom's guilt," she said, laughing. "No matter what you're doing, you feel like you need to be in the other place.
"But it really just highlights what's most important. There's no bigger reward than my kids."

Best Sets of These 2017 Retirements
There are many BrickHeadz, DUPLO and City sets to be retired this year. Since they are mostly non-exclusive sets, they generally aren't a good investment unless they are at a significant discount.
The more interesting set is the Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle. This set has seven minifigures and featured a big bridge section to recreate those exciting scenes in the comics. You can also combine with another bridge set to form a bigger bridge! Aso, this set only available for a little over a year.
Note that these announced retirements are just a handful of the sets that will be retired this year, and LEGO may still have some surprises in store for us!

Excerpt: The Case of the Wandering Wolves
"Stay the fuck away from me! From me and my daughter!"
Latrans's face stung from the slap York had just delivered, but other parts of him hurt so much more. He had never considered what it really felt like to have a broken heart. The stories he'd read said that his chest would hurt and his eyes might tear, but the agony of crushed hopes and dreams had him wanting to writhe on the ground until it stopped. He couldn't take a full breath, which luckily helped him keep his eyes dry as he struggled for air.
York wiped the back of one hand across his mouth as if he couldn't wait to find a better way to remove the taste of Latrans on his lips. Their kiss had lasted mere moments, a fraction of a second, considering how long Latrans had actually wanted to hold York in his arms. It had started with the press of lips against lips, York's dry and chapped, yet sending warm shivers down Latrans's spine. Then Latrans had broken down and given in to the howling need inside of him. The mating bond had demanded more occur between them, and Latrans had acquiesced by brushing his tongue along the crease between York's lips.
He'd promptly been smacked in the face as York jumped away. York stood on the far side of the room, breathing hard and looking utterly and totally panicked. His eyes were wide, darting as if he were trying to figure out the fastest way to get as far away from Latrans as possible.
It hurt to know his mate preferred to run, but at the same time, Latrans thought he understood.
The idea of having a mate was one the supernatural community understood instinctively. There was something about the way York smelled, which at the moment was a mix of diaper wipes and baby formula; the sour stench of stress, fear, and exhaustion; and a strange mix of earth, rain, and human that was exclusively York's. It was also about the awkward tilt to York's smile when he looked at baby Samantha or the tears in his eyes at the funeral of his girlfriend, the mother of his child, only days prior. It was something intrinsic to any creature in the supernatural world, and when Latrans had first met him, he'd known immediately that York was his, and he was York's. Finding a way to explain that to a human who did not have the advantage of the magic to guide him was almost impossible. True love at first sniff wasn't exactly something York or any other human had the capacity to understand.
It was also true that York had spent his entire life trying to be straight, which was yet another issue Latrans had tried to overcome. York's extremely religious parents had made certain he would only be interested in women, but Latrans had seen the looks York had inadvertently given some of the good looking men they had passed while investigating. Latrans knew York was bisexual, but he didn't know if York was able or willing to admit that fact to himself.
Latrans had tried to connect anyway, telling York about his feelings and wants and about the need to be with him that drove Latrans. When York hadn't believed him, Latrans had then awkwardly parsed it down to: "I want to love you, and I know you'll love me in return. Just give it time." When that hadn't worked either, desperation quickly set in. Latrans knew he had to say anything, do anything, to convince York to stay with him. He didn't think he could live without his mate at his side. The magic would constantly tug at him, demanding he claim his mate.
It was supposed to be a beautiful thing between two people. The bond didn't just indicate true love, it told of compatibility in the rest of their lives as well. Perhaps it was because Latrans couldn't find the right words to clearly describe that beauty in a way York could understand, but York had backed away as quickly as possible.
Latrans had finally demanded: "I'll figure out why there were drugs in your girlfriend's car when she wrapped it around a telephone pole, and you give me one night together. Just you and me." York had agreed, but only because he had no other option. Latrans had thought that a night together would show York what his words couldn't convey, but after their one, clearly disastrous kiss, he knew he had gotten it wrong yet again. The idea of another man wanting to sleep with him shouldn't have been so foreign, yet, looking at York, Latrans had to curse himself for being an idiot.
A boy stood across the room, shivering and trying to hide the fact that he was masking his fear with anger. York was only nineteen years old, a college sophomore, and a few months ago, his biggest worry had been finals. Now he'd been kicked out of college for inability to pay tuition and disowned by his ultra-religious parents for refusing to marry his pregnant girlfriend. He had no money, no prospects, and—worst of all—a newborn to care for on his own.
Latrans had sauntered onto the scene, smelled his mate, and his only thought about York had been how to explain the mating bond. It had been all about Latrans's needs with zero consideration for York's wants, adding yet another layer of difficulties onto York's already strained shoulders.
It was no wonder York was running away. Latrans knew he had to let York go. It wasn't fair to add the supernatural concept of magic informing Latrans that they were utterly perfect for each other on top of everything else York had to deal with.
The mating bond had spoken, though. Even though York wasn't ready just yet, he would like Latrans eventually. The magic wouldn't have told Latrans that they were meant for each other if York didn't have the capacity to reciprocate. That was the beauty of the bond: It was never wrong.
York was human, Latrans had to remind himself yet again; he needed the time and space to get to know Latrans as a person and a potential partner. He had to learn to love Latrans without the mating bond spurring him on, and with the baby crying in the next room a stark reminder, Latrans knew York simply couldn't afford to be with him in any capacity at the moment.
"I'll go let the police know my findings," Latrans finally said. He backed away from York slowly, heading towards the door. "Just, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me."
Latrans left the small apartment he knew York could no longer afford on a single salary. Every step away from York felt like something sharp was breaking through his ribs so it could get a fist around his heart. As Latrans caught the bus, he fought back the tears that had been threatening to fall since that first slap.
The mating bond was never wrong. Latrans had to remember that fact.
It was possible that York would continue saying no, and Latrans would have to find some way to live with that, but he desperately needed that faint hope. Without it, he would probably be unable to suppress the need to be with his mate and might end up stalking York, which would only disturb York's human sensibilities even more.
Latrans's emotions were still tangled and the pain of separation tugging at him was only making things worse, but by the time he got off the bus at the stop nearest the police station, it was a manageable pain, and he hoped he could live with it until he saw York again.

South Sudan: crisis looms for people displaced by conflict – in pictures
Fighting in Unity State has driven 10,000 people from their homes to the relative safety of Ganyiel, a small town in the south of the Greater Upper Nile region. But river routes have been disrupted by the conflict, reducing the availability of food, and many people have been forced to eat water lilies to survive. Photographs by Jacob Zocherman

I have a query which consumes more cpu on sunday runs whereas when i run the query it consumes less cpu.the differneces are very large.when it consumes more cpu it takes 30K AMP CPU & when it consumes less cpu then it consumes 30-50Seconds only.I checked all the stats of the table but didn;t have any luck.can anyone suggest what can be the possible reasons for the same.the queries ran under reporting tool.
Compare Explains for different runs (from DBQL?).
When are stats on that table collected?
The Explains are different and i checked the Stats .all are in place.
the stats are collected once the data gets loaded into the participating tables.
I am looking for all the possible causes for this kind of behaviour of the query.

It's been deleted, but it said, "[university], where the weather is more confusing than the women." Somebody cried foul, one thing led to another, and the President of the university issued a mea culpa about this event that "…quite simply shouldn't have happened," agreeing that the message was "sexist," with "offensive implications," and "hurtful." As a result of this incident, the President has asked for "new policies on oversight of messages on the website and social media."
I currently study men's beliefs about women–particularly men's beliefs that women are "fundamentally unknowable" (i.e., approximately as confusing as the weather), so this caught my eye when I (belatedly) found out about it.
TL;DR: I don't think it was "sexist" in the way we usually use that term, and I think, from a logical point of view, the university administration overreacted. However, from a realpolitik perspective any university President in her right mind would have reacted the same way.

Dallas Stars (23-21-8) at New York Rangers (30-16-4)
|Date & Time
|Sunday February 8, 2015, 5:00 PM (EST)
|Unknown Location Unknown Address
|The Line
The Line: New York Rangers -148 / Dallas Stars +134 --- Over/Under: 5.5

The Stars will look to shake off a sloppy game last night in Buffalo as they head into New York to face off against the Rangers.
The Stars took a serious hit last night as they dropped a very winnable game in Buffalo against the lowly Sabres and while there is a ton of hockey left to be played the Stars know they lost a great opportunity to make up some ground in the Central. Dallas has been a disappointment this season as many expected they would challenge for a playoff spot and while they are very much a live they haven't had the swagger as expected and have had a tough season in the defensive end. The Stars face a tough test here against the Blue Shirts at MSG and while Henrik Lundqvist is out still Cam Talbot has filled in nicely and will be amped up here against a good offensive team.
The Rangers have been as hot as they come in the NHL of late and will look to add to their recent success with a home ice win against Dallas. The Rangers still have division title aspirations and while losing Lundqvist is tough they are just four points back and Cam Talbot isn;t your every day backup as he has put up some solid numbers of the last couple of seasons and should be in a good position to do so again today. The Rangers are getting a pretty nice price here and while Dallas has been known to show up in bigger games I think New York's defense will be the difference here and I think at MSG they don't disappoint and earn two points.

Poinsettias are one of the major symbols of the Holidays. Below you will find some information on the care and upkeep involved in keeping them looking nice through the holidays and beyond.
From the moment you purchase your poinsettia at a store, you must take special care in protecting it. They do not like cold weather, so make sure you take your plant directly home once you buy it. Do not leave it in your car all day. If you do, you will have a lovely green stemmed leafless plant---Oh- what a great conversation piece.
Put your plant in a nice warm sunny spot.
They need at least 6 hours of light. Do not
let the hot afternoon sun blast through the
window onto your plant, your nice color will
go bye-bye. Don't put it near a door or a
drafty place. Again--Poinsettias do not like
the cold. Through the holidays your plant
should do just fine. Check to see if it needs
water from time to time, but do not over
When the color begins to fade from your plant, you can cut it back to about 6 to 8 inches from the soil line. Keep the plant in the same location--as before. continue to check to see if it needs water. The plant does not require a lot of water at this time. Just don't let it dry out. In no time at all, you should have new growth starting to pop from the stem. After it warms up outside, (late spring)you can set it outside. If your poinsettia is root bound, (More roots than soil)transplant it to a container one size larger.(Example-6 in up to a 8 in) Fertilize the plant through out the summer. A balanced fertilizer works well---about every 3 weeks. A liquid fertilizer also works good for most kinds of plants in containers.
Getting your poinsettia to Bloom again
Bring your Poinsettia indoors before the nights get cold in the fall. You need to bring your plant indoors at least by October, so it will be blooming by the holidays.Poinsettias need at least 14 straight hours of complete darkness in order for them to bloom. The darkness can not be interrupted at all or the plant will not bloom. A closet that you are not going to be using at night works well.It must be a warm place, above 60 degrees.So if you put your plant away for the night at 6 o'clock, you would bring it back out at 8 in the morning. During the day put the plant in the same kind of location as last year, They need at least 6 hours of day light.
Keep this up for about 8 weeks and you should have a colorful Poinsettia for the holidays. It's well worth the effort.

Starting to get a little annoyed at BestBuy's customer service. Kind of lame I cant email directly but oh well. On Dec 28th I bought 2 graphics cards after confirming with support chat that my price match is all set. Its been 2 weeks and I havent seen anything in my debit card account... I just got off the phone with yet another unhelpful customer support person. This is the 3rd time I have called and I have used the support chat 2, maybe 3 times. With records of all of it. No one can seem to tell me when I will be seeing my refund... Can anyone help??
Good afternoon, mixin_gas,
Welcome to the Best Buy forum, though I wish it could be under better circumstances. The Price Match Guarantee is a great way to ensure you're getting a great deal on your Best Buy purchases. While it should be a pretty simple and streamlined process, it can take some time to see any returned funds on the original form of payment. I will be more than happy to see if I can get some clarify on this request for you.
For me to do that, can you please send me some additional details? I'll need your full name, phone number, email address, and the order number you're seeking the match on. To keep your information secure, please send it in a private message. That option should be available in my signature below when you are signed into your forum account. I look forward to hearing back from you!
Thank you,

Sorry for the delay in my reply! Thank you for taking the time to send over your information. I'm currently taking a closer look into this situation.

HCIA welcomes VMware
Before you dive into part two, make sure you've taken a look at the first part of this series, Hyper-Convergence Explained.
After 18 months of a relative "hands off" approach to HCIA, via its EVO:Rail offering, VMware in combination with EMC and VCE have stepped into the market with an exciting offering: VxRail.
Sold exclusively via EMC and CI off-shoot VCE, VxRail is VMware's latest HCIA offering. Here are some key features of VxRail;
- It's only available via EMC and VCE, directly or via partners.
- Utilises VMware's proven technologies: vSphere, VSAN and tightly integrated into vCloudAir.
- Offering configuration flexibility, supporting forty to thousands of VMs, tens to thousands of VDI users.
- Based on a 2U physical format, hybrid or all flash, initially with four nodes (three node starter option coming soon!), with single node and disk upgrade granularity.
- A flexible model, scaling from a single four node appliance to sixteen appliances, sixty-four nodes in a single cluster.
- Ability to mix nodes to suite workloads and applications
- From 6 to 28 cores, and 3.6TB to 19TB of storage capacity per node.
- Extreme package is capable of 112 cores, 76TB raw flash storage in a 2U appliance.
- VCE Vision provides a single view of management, including monitoring of health and performance, with automated patch update/implement.
- Tried and tested award winning on-site service and support.
- The appliance is not only hardware+hypervisor+support, it also embeds several unique technologies that not only to simplify tasks, but also enable organisations to deliver disaster recovery (DR), Business Continuity (BC) and Cloud connectivity straight out of the box.
The advantage of a tri-party agreement
One of the main advantages of the VxRail appliance is the sum of all the elements brought together by the three parties involved.
To quote Aristotle, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" – the "parts" brought by EMC, VCE and VMware add up to an exciting and compelling offering.
VMware: a tightly integrated ecosystem, developed for the underlying hardware. Pre-installed, tested and optimised.
This is not the case for every HCIA solution, for example Nutanix "retro-fit" standard VMware to their appliance hardware, adding cost, time, complexity and which doesn't provide the management efficiencies of the VxRail implementation.
- vSphere - used by over 80% of the virtual solution market, VMware tried and tested – it works, it's familiar. Use existing skills, tools and techniques.
- Take advantage of VMware's latest enhancements, including: VSAN 6.2 which delivers inline deduplication and compression to the VxRail flash appliances.
EMC trusted support services and software and protection.
- Leveraging the industry's leading customer service capability, with a global network of technical support professionals. Relied on daily by thousands of organisations to ensure their businesses are kept up and running.
- Guarantee data is protected via site loss or corruption, via EMC Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity technologies.
- Utilise the scale and TCO model of cloud based storage with EMC's CloudArray which allows data to be securely stored with your favourite cloud provider. Ideal for archive, backups and similar scenarios.
VCE – building on the experience of the #1 converged infrastructure solution provider, who provides skills, software and market understanding.
- VCE Vision, as used on the market leading CI soluition vblock, delivers the simple to use, manage and deploy capability to VxRail.
- QoS policies and Multi tenancy capability eliminates the "noisy neighbour" issues seen on many other solutions when an infrastructure is used to host diverse combination of applications or services.
- VCE's offering of appliances, to racks, to rail, utilising Vscale – appliances, blocks and racks
- Vscale: converged platforms from VCE deliver such sophisticated end-to-end approach bringing together Vblock, VxRack, VxRail together with complementing solutions.
VMware's entry into the market is also an exciting step forward. It illustrates maturity of the market - emerging players such as Nutanix and Simplivity will see this as a major threat to their businesses, whilst end-users will see the offering from VMware (with partners EMC/VCE) as an offering they cannot afford to ignore.
