In the last article called What is Text Your Ex Back By Michael Fiore I go into what the program offers in a bit more detail and may well be worth a look if you want to know what's on offer to help you get back your Ex
What is Text Your Ex Back
Why Use Text Your Ex Back
Have you ever let a guy walk away and then wished more than anything you could get him to come back?
I'm going to show you how to use tiny little text messages sent from the cellphone you've already have right now to get your ex boyfriend to forgive you for everything you feel like you've done wrong… to forget once and for all about any other girl.
The aim is to have you back in his arms again with him begging for your forgiveness, fighting for your attention and all the time thinking that getting back together is one hundred percent his idea… even though this might sound impossible now.
Once you start using the power of the Text Your Ex Back program you'll be shocked at how quickly his attitude towards you changes, how he finds himself thinking about you, craving you and even fantasizing about you all day long.
Slowly you'll find that horrible tight pain in your chest starts to fade away, you'll glow in the acknowledgement of how he calls you on the phone just to hear your voice and how he flirts with you like he did when you first met. How he gives you all of his attention and does everything he can to make a you his again, and how he makes sure you never get away from him again.
When relationship coach Michael Fiores appeared on a nationally syndicated TV show to discuss the Text Your Ex Back program, he immediately impressed the host Rachael Ray who found the whole concept of using text messages to enhance a relationship very interesting.
If you're like most women your relationship and break up probably followed a variation of this really depressing time line you broke up and told each other you were going to be friends, that you were still going to be close.
The problem is if you think about it you'll realize you're not really friends at all now.
All your friends and your family are probably telling you to give up any ideas of continuing the relationship and to move on, telling you things like there are other fish in the sea and if it's meant to be it's meant to be.
However, while you're being miserable by yourself and going crazy wanting him, he's off with a cute girl from the office that he never really liked in the first place.
Moreover, ever since the break-up you've felt this crazy overwhelming obsessive desire for him. You've left a long rambling messages on his voice mail stating all the things you think you should have said when you were together.
You've texted him like crazy and thought you were going to pull your hair out when he didn't text you back. You've asked his friends about him and freaked out at the idea of him seeing someone else. You've done everything you could think of to try to get the relationship you had with him back, and no matter what you've done, what you have said and how hard you have apologized and even how much you told him he was right or promise to change, it's been like banging your head against a brick wall.
Like so many women before you I bet you're wondering why is it that the man who used to look at you with so much love and desire when you first got together now doesn't seem to be able to give you the time of day.
Why doesn't he seem to love you any more, when at the same time you can't seem to stop thinking about him, and what can you do to heal that massive rift between you?
What can you do to try and convince him to give you another chance, to look at you again, to touch you again, talk to you again, make you feel the way only he can make you feel.
Text Your Ex Back aims to answer questions and to provide a few simple truths about the way relationships really work and about the way a man's romantic mind works, but no one has ever told you before.
You'll be shown how to penetrate the wall he's put around his heart and how to hot wire his desire and love for you, as well as a really effective way to turn things around even if he says he has no feelings for you any more.
Text Your Ex Back Review
Face the facts
The relationship you had with your boyfriend is dead and it's never coming back. I know that sounds harsh but it's actually pretty cool, let me explain.
If you're like most women ever since you and your ex broke up you've been doing everything you could to turn back the clock and get the relationship you had back. But honestly trying to get your boyfriend back is like trying to perform emergency CPR on a dead body, meaning it's just a big waste of time and even when it works it doesn't last more than a few extra weeks at best. Where you might become one of those couples who are constantly breaking up and getting back together and driving each other (as well as the people around you) nuts.
After helping women around the world and appearing on national television and radio and going through some nasty breakup of my own (I once had every you're dumped email you could get) I can tell you the moment you broke up the relationship that you and your boyfriend had was over for ever and as hard as it is to believe it right now that's actually a good thing.
The fact is if you handle things correctly your old relationship ending isn't really a tragedy, it's a huge opportunity to hit the reset button, to create a more powerful relationship and to do things right. It's an opportunity for you to move away from the past… all the pain and anger.
Ultimately you and your boyfriend broke up for a reason or maybe a lot of little reasons that just added up and if you just try to get him back without addressing these reasons you're doomed to end up right back where you are now, alone miserable and desperate to see him and feel him again.

exchanged email for months with a Canadian man, discussing his elaborate plans to start a new life in the wilderness and only briefly mentioning his wife as a detail that needed to be tied up.
The recipient of those notes, Stephen Willott, 31, of Ottawa, Ontario, testified at Vaughn's murder trial Friday and was asked to read to the jury dozens of letters he received from Vaughn between fall 2006 and June 2007, the month in which Vaughn allegedly killed his wife and three children.
The pair met through a Web site called 43 Things and struck up an online friendship because of their mutual love of the Canadian wilderness. Within months, Vaughn --- writing under the psuedonym "Flint" -- was trading email with Willott almost every day.
In one note Vaughn sent in February 2007, he quoted an essay by naturalist Henry David Thoreau: "If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again -- if you have paid your debts and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man, then you are ready for a walk."
That was what he was doing, Vaughn wrote.
"I intend to walk into a different lifestyle without any regrets," he said. "I'm not looking to return."
At one point, Vaughn suggested he might stage his own death to free him of his obligations, thereby ensuring his wife would be OK financially because she would be his insurance policy beneficiary. In another, he says he's paying for his wife's education so she can support herself when he's gone.
"She'll get my money ... and I've paid for her to get her college degree this year. She'll be fine," he wrote. "If I drop off the face of the earth, life will go on."
In none of the notes does he mention his children: Abigayle, 12, Cassandra, 11, and Blake, 8, all of whom were found shot to death inside the family SUV while it was parked in a secluded area near . His wife was also killed, although Vaughn's defense is that she shot him and killed the children and herself.
He does, however, mention his dissatisfaction with suburban life and the traditional trajectory of job, house, family and death that most people pursue, regardless of whether it makes them happy.
"I started down that path but unlike most people, I realize I have an option," he wrote.
In another note, he says he's unhappy with his wife and sick of being a "servant."
"The lady I live with every once in awhile does something nice but 99 percent of the time she's not pleasant to be around," he wrote.
In just one email, he mentions a woman named "Maya," whom he met on a trip to Mexico and who shares some of his wilderness living views.
"It wouldn't be too bad to bring her long," he muses. "Mexico has the most beautiful women I've ever seen. ... They love gringos with pesos."
It's not known whether Maya is one of the women Vaughn told police investigators he slept with during a Mexican business trip -- and about whom he allegedly told his wife, causing a lot of relationship turmoil that he was trying to "patch up."
In the vast majority of Vaughn's email with Willott, he is focused on traveling to Canada for a week in spring 2007 to do an exploratory trip in anticipation of leaving for good in spring 2008.
He writes of experimenting with such things as tanning hides, making jerky and carving bows and of building winter and summer shelters. A lot of discussion centers on the best place to start, what kinds of gear they would need and how much they can carry.
"As much as we call it camping, I'm going to be living there, not camping," he wrote.
Vaughn seems to see Willott as his companion in the adventure, but the Canadian man said he'd never adopt the lifestyle on a full-time basis, in part because he'd miss his family. His interest, Willott said, was to do it for a couple of months at a time.
Under cross examination, Willott admitted he liked "dreaming" about going off into the wilderness as an escape from life but would not agree with defense attorney George Lenard's suggestion that Vaughn was dreaming, too.
"I actually thought he was going to go," he said.
Here are the stories from the previous days of testimony:

Daniel Fisher, Forbes Staff
I cover finance, the law, and how the two interact.
Over at the Huffington Post they're still talking about "rampant foreclosure fraud." But I was always skeptical of claims banks were stealing houses from innocent homeowners. One big problem with that theory: Banks lose money on virtually every house they take back in foreclosure. And now the federal government seems to agree.
With a pair of terse notices yesterday, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency basically admitted that its elaborate process for turning up evidence of fraud in hundreds of thousands of loan files was a waste of money.
With the $8.5 billion settlement with Bank of America, Citi and other lenders, the government abandoned the Independent Foreclosure Review and switched to a system of direct grants to foreclosed borrowers, details to come. In a statement, Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry said "it has become clear that carrying the process through to its conclusion would divert money away from the impacted homeowners and also needlessly delay the dispensation of compensation to affected borrowers."
The New York Times reported today concerns grew "in the upper echelons of the comptroller's office" at the cost of the loan reviews, which consumed up to 20 hours per file at $250 an hour. Banks spent $1.5 billion on this snipe hunt without turning up meaningful examples of fraud, the Times reports. That money could have been handed out to borrowers in the form of a $5,000 check for each file.
The outcome shouldn't come as a surprise. After I wrote a piece critical of the parallel mortgage settlement with state attorneys general last year, comparing it to the deeply flawed tobacco settlement, I was barraged with comments from critics accusing me of downplaying foreclosure fraud. I responded with one simple question: Has there been a single case in the past five years of a homeowner who was current on his mortgage being foreclosed through fraud?
Silence. I did get a lot of legal gobbledygook from marginally competent lawyers who, as it turns out, were the real crooks in the foreclosure crisis. For excessive fees, they offered underwater borrowers the false hope they could somehow keep their homes without paying for them, either by challenging the foreclosure paperwork or convincing a judge that the national registry system known as MERS was not the legitimate party to foreclose. Those tactics mostly failed. The Federal Trade Commission has a website devoted to protecting borrowers from the real scammers in the foreclosure crisis, and prosecutors have found plenty of fraud. Last September North Carolina AG Roy Cooper, for example, sued three foreclosure assistance firms for charging upfront fees and delivering nothing in return.
The reality is robosigning couldn't have been the cause of foreclosure fraud because robots can't engage in the self-interested behavior that underlies fraud. Robosigning was just an acknowledgement that in a large, modern lending institution only the central computer registry of mortgages contains all the information about loans, and no lawyer at the periphery can possibly possess additional information beyond what is in that registry. It may be nice to conjure up the image of a kindly loan officer, familiar with the circumstances of every person behind every home mortgage, but that's not how the system works in big banks.
The OCC released an interim report on the Independent Foreclosure Review program last June, detailing the agency's ambitious plans for getting to the bottom of foreclosure fraud. It sent out letters to 4.4 million borrowers, ran ads in 1,400 publications including Parade, People magazine, and USA Weekend, as well as Hispanic and African-American publications, and racked up an estimated 341 million impressions. Nearly 200,000 people submitted their files for review and regulators selected another 142,817 files for "look-back" reviews.
About the same time, the GAO released a report critical of the foreclosure review program, which involved servicers handling two-thirds of U.S. mortgages, because it didn't provide clear enough information for borrowers.
But by retreating to a class-action style payout system, where borrowers simply receive lump sums, the feds seem to be acknowledging that there wasn't much outright fraud — as in banks stealing houses from innocent borrowers — to find.
Fraud is a flexible term, of course, and many lawyers think it includes lending money to people who have no hope of paying it back. This so-called "predatory lending" doesn't make any economic sense, unless you're willing to buy the theory that the fees flowing from an ultimately unprofitable loan were enough to induce bankers to destroy their own institutions in search of a year-end bonus. That's possible, but it downplays the responsibility of the borrowers who signed detailed loan documents, filled with caveats and cooling-off periods mandated by federal regulators.
As for robosigning computers stealing homes, still not much evidence for that. If you know of a case, do let me know.
Also from Forbes: America's New Foreclosure Capitals
Daniel, a "borrower" goes hand-in-hand with a "lender". Once it's identified, as it has been over and over, that the "lender" is an unknown (did Wamu lend money, or was money wired from a wall st entity?), what loan was proffered? Was it a loan at all??
Did these homeowners, with bad title, "borrow" if there is no lender?
I'd like to see all transactions unwound, with homeowners payments made returned, and the option to re-buy legally under legal circumstances, or the house returned to the entities that wired the funds. NOT returned to the servicers.
That hedge funds are now accepting bad title in bulk (with the ultimate end to "sell" to uninformed buyers), it just keeps getting worse- no fixes, just greed and more greed.
And allowing banks to get away with filing forged and perjured documents to court, allowing them to take homes that they have no legal right to take, and denying due process to the borrowers sends a terrible message to our future generations.
Again, if I submitted forged documents or perjured myself in court, I would go to JAIL. Why are no bankers in jail?
Not entirely true. The DOJ has been prosecuting lots of individuals for mortgage fraud (see Charlie Engle for one famous example) – in fact they trumpet thousands of cases in their reporting on prosecuting mortgage fraud.
And in many cases, the borrowers were not the ones who fabricated their incomes, assets, etc. Google "Eileen Foster Countrywide" if you want to know how rampant the fraud was inside Countrywide, perpetrated by CW loan originators. They were literally copying one borrower's W-2 and submitting it with other borrower's applications, whiting parts out, etc. And they were steering prime borrowers towards sub-prime loans, because they were paid much higher commissions on sub-prime loans than prime. In some cases, a borrower would agree to a prime loan, yet at closing, sub-prime ARM loan documents were slipped in, unbeknownst to the borrower. (How do you read 200 pages of documents at closing, when everyone is rushing you? The argument that borrowers "should have known what they were signing" doesn't hold water here.)
Up until the last decade, everyone trusted the banks to be honest, and to only give loans to those who could afford to repay. That all changed when the banks scrapped their underwriting standards, because they no longer had any skin in the game.
See some of the mortgage fraud DOJ has prosecuted here:
If you're referring to the S&L crisis, that's a shining example of what SHOULD be happening now. The DOJ indicted many thousands of bankers, and over a 1,000 of those bankers actually went to jail. They had over 1,000 FBI agents on that case…. where are they now????
The Mortgage Fraud Task Force has approximately 55 people on staff, in a fraudulent scheme that is massively larger than the S&L crisis.
Both those current and behind on their mortgages would have benefitted.
Lew Raniei, who brought securitization to the mortgage market, was vocal and livid at the time. He made it clear, and he's still making it clear, that if that paper were liquidated he and other would have purchased it at a steep discount then reduce interest and principal; rework the loans to make them perform and make a bundle doing it. It's an understatement to say he was livid about the foreclosures and the bailouts; totally unnecessary, bad for the markets, bad for the capitalist system, bad for borrowers, bad for smart bankers .. bad for everybody except the most reckless bankers.
Economists argue the loss of bank liquidity would have caused a Depression but that's iffy. They point to the Great Depression, and the bank runs, but they ignore that it was a loss from middle-class savings and spending power — not a loss of bank liquidity — that triggered that meltdown. This time around the FDIC exists and promptly increased the insured amount, which was a bailout but I think a wise one. Burning them down and selling the paper to vultures would have lowered house payments for everybody, theoretically forcing capital back into the system; a market-based, not cost to government, broadly-based Keynesian stimulus.
The only people that may have received free homes — where the lenders said "forget it," — were homes so impaired, and borrowers so broke, writing the paper off would be the most cost-effective approach to the vultures. That happens all the time in business contract disputes though, just like businesses rework contracts when it's clear the original terms will result in a mutually undesirable outcome. It's an entirely normal, common process. Pretending like it should never be done in a B2C context ignores how our system is supposed to function, to self-regulate.
Government should not have had to force the modifications because the invisible hand was about to do it for them, in a much tougher way. No need to argue whether bank executives from failed banks get bonuses: there's no money to pay them out. No worries about moral hazard; they would have paid dearly. No whining about mods; the market forced them, not bureaucrats. The invisible hand, self-regulation, was doing its job just fine; advocates just didn't like that it was about to crush them and their friends. Ignoring that government intervened for lenders, but not borrowers — that they changed the fundamentals of the borrower-lender relationship, including and especially the ability to enforce the contract — is, I think, why so many people remain angry.
You bring up a good point. In fact, with all this whining about deadbeat borrowers, who mostly lost their jobs and homes due to the economic crash or medical bills… and got no help whatsoever from banks or the government…
Then look at bankers who took enormous risks, gambled and "lost" it all (questionable), then got bailed out to the tune of trillions of dollars, all while homeowners LOST up to $13 TRILLION in equity…
Which of these two groups ended up with those trillions?
Moral hazard, anyone?
Exactly who are the bigger Welfare Queens?

NEW Sage Evoke Series LINE SIZE 7/8
Sage asked themselves what many of the most hardcore fly fishers who take on big anadromous fish and powerful saltwater species want in a fly reel. The answer, like our innovative solution, was simple: more control. You wanted to add extra fingertip or palm pressure to actively engage the fish, so we looked at existing reel designs and decided to open things up a bit. Literally. Featuring a unique modified full frame with exposed dual palming rim, the EVOKE lets you add fingertip or palm pressure from either side of the reel as you feel exactly how much it will take to turn that fish.

BELLINGHAM - The Port of Bellingham soon may begin negotiations on a waterfront redevelopment contract with Harcourt Developments Limited, a Dublin-based firm best known for a huge Belfast project that includes a Titanic museum on the site of a shipyard where the ill-fated ocean liner was built.
The matter will be on port commissioners' agenda for their next meeting at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at port headquarters, 1801 Roeder Ave. If port commissioners approve, Port Executive Director Rob Fix and his staff will have 120 days to work out a complex development contract with Harcourt that also would be subject to port commissioners' approval when it is completed.
Harcourt, said to have operations in 10 countries, is expected to work with some local firms if the project moves ahead. Details remain hazy, but the development of the first phase of the waterfront is expected to include a mix of retail, office and residential buildings, with a new facility for Western Washington University that has been described as a "community learning center."
If the port and Harcourt can come to terms, Harcourt would be the lead developer on the first 11-acre phase of waterfront development in the area that includes the Granary Building - the first small slice of the 237 waterfront acres that the port and city hope to bring back to life in the decades to come. In its initial presentation to the port in 2013, Harcourt expressed interest in taking on the entire waterfront, but that alternative is not on the table.
Fix said Harcourt was the consensus choice of an evaluation committee that considered the qualifications of Harcourt and two other groups that expressed interest: Portland, Ore.-based Williams/Dame & Associates and Uniting Creatives/Four Pillars, a team of local activists and visionaries joining forces with The Perfume Foundation.
The other contenders need not be shut out of the project, Fix said. All three organizations had good ideas, and Harcourt is being encouraged to work with them to incorporate their best ideas and perhaps get them involved in the project.
Harcourt also is being encouraged to work with a local partnership - Tollhouse Energy and Zervas Group Architects. Tollhouse and Zervas have submitted a plan to convert The Granary Building into a hydroelectric power plant that could use the old industrial water main that once supplied huge quantities of Lake Whatcom water to the Georgia-Pacific Corp. pulp and paper mill on the waterfront.
Fix acknowledged that there are many uncertainties surrounding the hydroelectric proposal, but he said Tollhouse and Zervas are interested in rehabilitation of the Granary even if the hydroelectric project proves unworkable.
"We're trying to take the best elements and put them together," Fix said. "Harcourt has indicated that they like that idea."
The evaluation committee that selected Harcourt included Bellingham Mayor Kelli Linville and Whatcom County Executive Jack Louws; City Economic Development Manager Tara Sundin; Western Washington University Vice President Steve Swan; port executives Carolyn Casey, Mike Stoner, and Sylvia Goodwin; Lydia Bennett, the port's former business development director; and representatives of Heartland, a real estate consulting firm hired by the port.
Fix said Harcourt's top executives visited Bellingham and spoke with other community representatives during the selection process.
"They seemed like a good fit for our community," Fix said. "They seem like they get our community."
Two key questions remain to be answered: How much of a return will the port get on its investment in cleaning up the waterfront? How soon will construction projects get underway?
Fix said Harcourt has proposed a partnership, in which the port would contribute the real estate and Harcourt would shoulder the construction costs. Once the development begins generating revenue, the port and the company would share in that revenue based on the value of their contributions to the partnership.
As to the timing of construction, that will depend on market demand.
"I can't emphasize enough that none of this is going to happen unless demand is there," Fix said. "We're not going to build buildings that will sit empty, and we're not going to move tenants from one part of town to the other."

Turlock firefighters are again going pretty in pink to fight breast cancer.
After a successful first year, Turlock Fire Department firefighters are holding a pink T-shirt fund-raiser for the month of October. Last year's campaign raised $18,000 for Emanuel Cancer Center, far more than originally expected. They had hoped to raise around $3,500.
Firefighters from Local 2434 will wear and sell the custom-designed pink T-shirts throughout October and have already started pre-sales. T-shirts are $15 each. All proceeds will benefit the Bill & Elsie Ahlem Cancer Endowment at Emanuel Medical Center.
This year, firefighters also have launched the Pink Helmet Award in conjunction with the pink T-shirt campaign. The community is invited to nominate local cancer survivors, advocates or people otherwise affected by the disease.

The Partnership: Five Cold Warriors and Their Quest to Ban the BombBook
Philip Taubman - Consulting Professor at CISAC
Published by
Harper Collins, January 3, 2012
Publication no. 9780062098030
From Harper Collins publishers:
Offering a clear analysis of the danger of nuclear terrorism and how it can be prevented, The Partnership sheds light on one of the most divisive security issues facing Washington today. Award-winning New York Times journalist Philip Taubman illuminates our vulnerability in the face of this pressing terrorist threat—and the unlikely efforts of five key Cold War players to eliminate the nuclear arsenal they helped create. Bob Woodward calls The Partnership a "brilliant, penetrating study of nuclear threats, present and past," and David Kennedy writes that it is "indispensable reading for all who would understand the desperate urgency of containing the menace of nuclear proliferation."
Book Description
A terrorist attack with nuclear weapons is the most dangerous security issue America faces today—and we are far more vulnerable than we realize. Driven by this knowledge, five men—all members of the Cold War brain trust behind the U.S. nuclear arsenal—have come together to combat this threat, leading a movement that is shaking the nuclear establishment and challenging the United States and other nations to reconsider their strategic policies.
Illuminating and thought-provoking, The Partnership tells the little-known story of their campaign to reduce the threat of a nuclear attack and, ultimately, eliminate nuclear weapons altogether. It is an intimate look at these men—Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Sam Nunn, William Perry, and the renowned Stanford physicist Sidney Drell—the origins of their unlikely joint effort, and their dealings with President Obama and other world leaders. Award-winning journalist Philip Taubman explores the motivations, past conflicts, and current debates that drive, and sometimes strain, their bipartisan partnership. Through their stories, he examines the political and technological currents that shaped nuclear strategy during the Cold War—including the 1986 Reykjavik summit, at which Reagan and Gorbachev narrowly missed a landmark agreement to eliminate nuclear weapons—and illuminates how the end of that conflict gave rise to the dangerous realities of today. He reveals the heated discussions taking place in Washington and in nuclear-weapons laboratories, and spotlights current threats and the frantic efforts of America and its allies to prevent the spread of fissile materials.
Meticulously researched and compellingly told, The Partnership demands that we turn our attention to an issue that has the potential to alter our world order. Philip Taubman has provided an important and timely story of science, history, and friendship—of five men who have decided the time has come to dismantle the nuclear kingdom they worked to build.
Critical Praise for The Partnership
"The Partnership artfully weaves the threads of five notable lives into a fascinating account of nuclear strategizing over the last five decades. This unfailingly compelling narrative is indispensable reading for all who would understand the desperate urgency of containing the menace of nuclear proliferation."
"This brilliant, penetrating study of nuclear threats is in the tradition of David Halberstam and Neil Sheehan. Taubman has, perhaps as importantly, unlocked the history of the war we never had. Readers will tremble at the dangers the world has faced and still faces today."
"A richly detailed account of one of the most important issues of our time, The Partnership should be on the bedside of every presidential candidate, national affairs journalist and engaged citizen."

HELPFUL TIPS AFTER READING ALL THE REVIEWS: The idea of putting 2 pieces of bread on the bottom of the pan before cooking to soak up the grease is GOD SEND! Works like a charm, and you can remove it when you slice everyone their piece. BUT I also take it out at the 1hr mark and drain the excess liquid. I double the sauce, but only to drizzle on top of everyone's slice since my kids&husband like to slather their meatloaf w/ketchup. When I do double the topping, I add 1T lemon juice OR 1T balsamic vinegar for yummiest topping! Substitute bread for 3/4C oats & use green onions instead of onions if you've got picky eaters. Sometimes I dice green peppers too for more flavor. If you haven't tried "Honey Roasted Red Potatoes" I'd recommend trying them along side, and you're sure to be everyone's best friend. All my picky eaters tell me I'm the greatest cook ever due to everyone's great reviews! This meatloaf was liked by everyone over the two other top rated ones on this site! I also make them in muffin cups and just baked at 375 for 30 min.
Diana S.
Yum!! This recipe makes an excellent meatloaf. My son and husband love meatloaf, so I've been trying various recipes to see which one they like the best. After tasting this for dinner last night, they both said don't try any more, this one is the best! As for substitutions, I added 3/4 c. of oats in place of the bread, and used balsamic vinegar in place of the lemon juice. Next time I will try the lemon juice, but the vinegar worked fine and I happened to be out of lemons. Oh, one great tip that I got from another reviewer is to line the bottom of your 9x5 pan with bread slices when making a meatloaf. The bread soaks up all the fat and then you just throw the bread away. Works great!
Tiffany Rose
My family was craving meat so I desided to make them meatloaf. I didnt have any beef bouillon so I added a pinch of garlic powder to add flavor. I also didnt have bread so I substituted that for a cup of oats. Dry mustard was traded in for yellow mustard. I've hated meatloaf for as long as I can remember but what I made last night was excellent. The glaze made all the difference, it was amazing. After reading the reviews I made a double batch of glaze and it covered the loaf beautifully. Definatly a keeper!

Entity Beans
Last month, we began to look at Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), the centerpiece of Sun's J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) standard for server-side web applications. While neither the Java language nor the J2EE specification are open standards, increasing numbers of Linux advocates have begun to use them to write server-side web applications. The fact that J2EE appears to be the only mainstream alternative to Microsoft's .NET framework makes it even more appealing to many.
Enterprise JavaBeans come in two basic flavors, known as session beans and entity beans. Session beans typically model processes and lack any state, allowing us to place our business logic in EJB, rather than in our servlets or JavaServer Pages (JSPs). The calculator object we designed last month, which allowed us to multiply two numbers, was a simple example of a session bean with a single method.
Entity beans are meant to contain state, possibly even complex state. This state normally reflects the contents of a row in a relational database, with the bean managing its own object-relational mapping (bean-managed persistence or BMP) or allowing EJB to handle this task instead (container-managed persistence or CMP). The EJB container also provides transactions, giving us all-or-nothing operations in our objects as well as the database.
This month, we write a simple entity bean, connect it to a database and access it via a session bean from a Java application. We will use the open-source JBoss EJB container (released under the GNU Lesser General Public License, aka LGPL), but the code should work with little modification on any J2EE server that supports EJB.
As we saw last month, writing a session bean really means writing three Java classes:
The bean class performs the actual work.
The remote interface has methods that match those on the bean class and is our proxy to the bean.
The home interface helps us to create new instances of the bean class, as well as search for beans matching particular criteria.
We need to implement all three of these classes for an entity bean. In addition, we often need to implement a fourth "primary key" class. While this month's example does not need to define a primary key class, we will do so in the interest of completeness.
Most EJB applications will end up using at least one entity bean (to model the data) and at least one session bean (to implement the business logic). Given that a core idea of object-oriented programming is to put data and code in a single package, it seems a bit strange to split entity and session beans in this way. But this strategy does seem to work overall and makes it relatively easy to split work among multiple people, once the specification has been agreed upon.
J2EE is a specification; the actual implementation of that specification depends on whoever has written the server. One of the most important parts of a J2EE application server is the object-relational mapper, which transparently turns Java classes into rows of a relational database table (and vice versa). An object-relational mapper should remain as invisible as possible, allowing us to change our back-end storage from Oracle to MySQL without modifying our Java code.
The JBoss object-relational mapping system is known as JAWS and normally requires very little configuration. However, it can be instructive to look at the JAWS configuration file (standardjaws.xml, in the JBoss conf/default directory) to see what's happening behind the scenes.
The definitions at the top of standardjaws.xml set parameters for the entire JBoss server. In this way, we indicate which database we want to use; the HyperSonic database is included with JBoss, and we will use it for this month's examples.
The core of standardjaws.xml is the multiple <type-mapping> (singular) sections, which connect each <java-type> to a <jdbc-type> and an <sql-type> for each database. Since our EJBs do not create tables or write SQL explicitly, it's important that these values be accurate. You may be able to increase the efficiency or flexibility of your application by modifying these values. However, remember that modifying JAWS after you already have inserted data into a database may lead to confusion, corruption or errors.
If you simply want to get started with EJB, then you won't need to modify standardjaws.xml at all. Rather, you'll need to modify jboss.jcml, an XML file that defines the different managed beans (MBeans) that JBoss uses for system configuration and control.
The file jboss.jcml includes support for HyperSonic and InstantDB; in order for it to work with HyperSonic, I had to remove any reference to InstantDB from jboss.jcml. I did this by editing the "JDBC" section of jboss.jcml, removing the mention of org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbDriver from the "Drivers" attribute for the JdbcProvider MBean and the entire XADataSourceLoader <mbean>, whose service is XADataSource and whose service name is InstantDB.
Once you have removed all mentions of InstantDB from jboss.jcml, start up JBoss:
cd $JBOSS_DIST/bin sh run.sh
can anyone help to write code for jsp entering bookname and displaying authorname from schema using ejb strut
how to connect jsp to session bean and further to entity bean and all configuration of jbosstomcat4.1
Re: At the Forge: Entity Beans
Experienced database programmers know that primary keys should be hidden from view,
I don't agree with this. How would we identify the entities then?
The primary key is the set of attributes that identifies the entity, and this means that it has to be visibale.
and most databases have a way to automate this; PostgreSQL's SERIAL type, MySQL's AUTO INCREMENT and Oracle's sequences are common solutions to this problem.
Those are only artificial primary keys. You can run into few problems when you wnat to use them.
For example you can't be sure what key belongs to the entity you have currently written into the table, because if the primary key is given by the database. If the written row has no primary key except the assigned one you can't even select by the attributes to get the ID, because you can get multiple rows as the response and then the bet is only way to decide. If you have multiple concurent writes it gets even worse.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to use such automatically generated primary keys within EJB.
UID object from java.rmi.server can give you primary key.
It is a bit strange (out of sequence) but unique, and that is what counts.
Re: At the Forge: Entity Beans
Where to get the database schema for this example ? thanks
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

RALEIGH — The best ACC basketball game of the season to this point ended Saturday in the PNC Arena with N.C. State losing a battle, but possibly winning a war.
Thanks to a game-winning, follow tip-in by Reggie Johnson in the final second, Miami (17-3, 8-0 ACC) left with a 79-78 win over the Wolfpack (16-6, 5-4).
But with Wolfpack point guard Lorenzo Brown sidelined by an injury, freshman Tyler Lewis came through with a performance that looked a lot more like Bobby Hurley than the seldom-used reserve N.C. State fans had seen in previous games.
"We're a better team after tonight," said fellow freshman Rodney Purvis, whose 70-foot desperation shot at the final horn almost changed the outcome.
"The way Tyler played in this game, we have to feel so great about our chances. He was amazing."
Lewis, lightly recruited and lowly regarded by almost everyone except Wolfpack assistant coach Bob Lutz, finished with 16 points, five assists, only one turnover and two rebounds in 36 minutes.
Immediately after the game, Lewis left to join his family in mourning for his grandmother, Margie Lewis, who died Friday in Statesville.
"The whole team is with Tyler emotionally," Purvis said.
And if it was a career-changing night for Lewis, it was just as big for both coaches – the Wolfpack's Mark Gottfried and Miami's Jim Larranaga.
Gottfried left with a loss but with a Plan B at point guard, meaning a Plan B at two other positions. Brown is capable of playing and starring at any spot on the perimeter and will get healthy – probably in time for the next game at Duke.
"We're getting better all the time," Gottfried said. "But we still have four conference losses."
For Larranaga, once an assistant at Virginia under Terry Holland during the Ralph Sampson early-mid 1980s era, the win had to at least erase some of the pain to from a pair of losses to the Wolfpack during the 1983 ACC tournament championship at Atlanta and NCAA west regional title game in Ogden, Utah.
"If someone had told me State would have shot 53 percent and 44 percent on threes … I would have said we lost," the second-year Hurricane coach said.
Gottfried later said Larranaga's team will be difficult to catch for the conference regular-season title.
To put it all in focus, the ACC is not a great league this season and hasn't been for a year or two. But Miami has a high ceiling, and the Wolfpack – in full health – may have an even higher one.
But Saturday was special.
It was a throwback game to a time when the ACC produced remarkable performances by little known players and memorable coaching performances by guys without great career resumes.
Only one team won, but in reality there were a lot of winners in the PNC.

Guest Columnist
Governor Fallin's State of the State address was on Monday. She outlined many lofty goals, but I just do not see how the numbers can add up for everything the governor wants to do, even as well-intentioned as she might be. It is a risky gamble to cut taxes and hope growth revenue remains stable over the coming years, especially as volatile as the world economy remains. I certainly want to see many of these ideas become reality, but I worry that we will not be able to balance the budget without causing harm to other essential programs. I promise you that I will work with my colleagues to achieve as much good this session for the state as we can find in compromise and consensus.
Among her goals, she called for additional reforms to the Workers' compensation system, properly implementing exit exams for high school students before they receive their diploma, lowering tax levels from 5.25 percent to 5 percent for income taxes, along with other future tax cuts which she will propose, modifying pension systems for state employees and promoting energy efficiencies in our state agencies
The Governor suggested a $13.5 million dollar increase for education, along with an $8.5 million supplemental to cover health costs for teachers. I will point out that this is much less than the requested $300 million dollars by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Other issues she addressed included Open Range, a program to allow local schools to consolidate their computer systems amongst school districts, removing underutilized state assets from the state balance sheet, and renovating the State Capitol Building by allocating an initial $10 million to begin needed repairs.
Adequate protections for children who find themselves in state custody will be one of her top requests, such as continuing the DHS Pinnacle Plan, as well as including an additional $50 million to meet their increased needs. Governor Fallin would also like an additional $40 million of state dollars to go to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority in lieu of the $54 million which was offered by the federal government to implement a health care exchange and increased coverage for the uninsured.
The governor is also proposing an initiative to allow municipalities the authority to ban smoking in public places, which is currently not allowed under Oklahoma law. This was a bill which passed the House of Representatives last session, but did not receive a committee hearing in the Senate. Governor Fallin also wants to implement a fitness plan for our state, which would include a workout center located in the State Capitol for employees in the building.
Another portion of her speech included an additional $16 million for the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse to better help the agency do their job, while expanding crisis centers in Oklahoma for those who need immediate help. New funds for suicide prevention would also be included, as Oklahoma has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. This was punctuated by a student in Coweta taking his own life on Monday at school. Governor Fallin also asked the legislature to get serious on prescription drug abuse. A recent study shows that 8 percent of Oklahomans abuse pain medication in some fashion, which is almost double the national average. I cannot agree with her more on this point as we must break the cycle of abuse in our state.
I will wrap up this week by thanking those who helped with the fundraiser I coordinated for AutismOklahoma.org on Friday at JJ's Saloon in Oklahoma City. We collected over $14,000 at our "Unspoken Ball" to help with their programs and 100 percent of the funds are guaranteed to go to services, not administration or salaries. Special thanks to Inzinga and Spinozi of 96.9 BOB-FM, the Masters of Ceremonies for the event. I also appreciate the Oklahoma AFL-CIO, The Lost Ogle, the volunteers and attendees, and Rep. Curtis McDaniel, who served as our auctioneer. The auction was huge success with things like two catered meals by Chef Eddie, a teeth whitening by Dr. Stephen Buchanan, framed prints from Bee's Knees and tickets from Ballet Oklahoma and the OKC Barons.

Blaze on Folger Avenue 'like a lumberyard on fire'
BEVERLY — A raging fire destroyed two unoccupied homes on Folger Avenue, melted the siding on several others, and rained burning embers throughout an entire neighborhood Sunday night.
Nobody was hurt, according to fire officials, but a family with two young children in the home next door to the fire was forced to temporarily move out.

The 2005 film adaptation of "The Dukes of Hazzard" starring Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, Jessica Simpson, Willie Nelson, and Burt Reynolds is the greatest movie ever made. No, seriously.
First, Herschel Walker appeared on the show with Donald Trump, who technically was the Goal Line Stalker's first employer after college. Now, Bill Goldberg (who, having attained post-football fame as a professional wrestler using only one name, now is referred to strictly by his surname, calling to mind the respectful references to Lynyrd Skynyrd as "Skynyrd") is following in Walker's footsteps. Georgia football players from the 1980s . . . they'll serve as business understudies to Donald Trump and beat the crap out of you in the ring! Go 'Dawgs!

Weatherford Democrat
By CHRISTIN COYNE
A Parker County man was arrested last week on accusations he repeatedly sexually assaulted a young girl he was supposed to be watching for the girl's mother.
James Burt Opitz, 41, is being held on a charge of continous sexual abuse of a child under 14 years old, a first degree felony.
The child's mother told deputies that she found a nude picture of her elementary-school-age daughter on an electronic gaming device.
When the girl was taken to a therapist, she reported being repeatedly sexually assaulted by Opitz over a period of months, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The girl's mother reported to deputies that the man had sexually abused her, as well, when they were children.
Opitz remained in the Parker County Jail Monday with bond set at $100,000.
Exchange theft suspects arrested
A man and woman suspected of returning empty video game packaging to Target in exchange for cash were arrested Friday and charged with theft.
Julie Ann Vanwinkle, 38, and Matthew Brewer Lewis, 31, face misdemeanor charges for theft after a store employee called police around 10:30 a.m. and reported that he had detained Vanwinkle after she returned an empty Xbox electronic game package purchased at an earlier date for a refund of $65.
According to Weatherford police, Lewis was reported to be waiting outside for Vanwinkle and was charged as an accomplice, as well.
The store was the victim of two similar thefts earlier that week, according to police.
Later that morning, an employee reported to police that a known man and woman purchased Xbox games on May 21 and returned one of the games on June 1 and another on June 3 for a total of $119. However, no arrests were made regarding those reports of theft.
Firefighters limit fire damage to home
A house in the 2700 block of Annetta Centerpoint Road in Annetta North sustained significant smoke and water damage Monday after a fire spread from the kitchen to the attic.
Firefighters were able to limit fire's damage to the three-bedroom house and save some of the family's property and personal items, ESD No. 3 Chief Pat English said.
Firefighters, responding from departments in Hudson Oaks, Weatherford, Aledo and Willow Park, faced difficulty accessing the fire, which had spread to the attic by the time they arrived, according to English. They ended up unscrewing a portion of the metal roof and pulling it back to extinguish the fire.
Hannah Egger said both she and her husband and the four children living in the house were not at home at the time of the fire.
She was told the fire likely started as an electrical issue in the kitchen, Egger said. However, Assistant Fire Marshal Lanny Padgett declined to comment on the suspected cause of the fire.
The Red Cross also responded to the scene to assist.

Globe Columnist
JOPLIN, Mo. —
John and Barbara Pate know a thing or two about apples. The couple began growing apples on their farm near Stockton in 1979. For years they specialized in growing and selling both peaches and a wide variety of apples. Now the couple is retired, and their son, John Michael, handles the day-to-day operation of the family orchard. Meanwhile his parents, as Barbara said with a laugh, "are the sellers."
The Pates were at their booth at the Webb City Farmers Market this past Friday selling bags and boxes of Golden Delicious, Jonathan and Jonagold apples. In a few weeks, the Pates plan to add some Mutsu and Winesap apples to their wares. The Mutsu apple is a variety of the Golden Delicious. It's good for eating fresh, but it also makes excellent pies and sauces, and it freezes well, too. The Winesap, Barbara said, is a "winter apple." The bright red, juicy Winesap is an excellent apple for both eating fresh and for baking.
There was a time, John Pate said, when the couple was producing a much wider variety of apples, but over time the Pates found that the area apple market isn't what it once was.
"We couldn't make any money on them," John Pate said. "So, at one point I told my son some of those trees are coming out."
The problem, the Pates said, is that people aren't eating as many apples as they once did. Most people, John Pate said, buy fresh apples with the intention of eating them quickly rather than preserving them so they will last through the winter.
"People don't can or put up apples like they used to," Barbara Pate said.
It's clear, however, that even eating a few apples a week is a good thing. According to the University of Missouri's website, plantsci.missouri. edu, an average apple has five grams of fiber, and is a natural source of vitamins A, B1, C and niacin.
In addition, recent studies have shown a natural occurring compound in apples called flavonoids may reduce the risk of heart disease and block the development of certain cancers.
According to the University of Missouri Extension Service, apples freeze well and can be thawed to make great out-of-season additions to a variety of baked goods, salads and poultry stuffing. To freeze apples, simply core, peel and slice them. Dunk the slices in lemon juice to prevent browning and freeze.
The following recipes are provided by the University of Missouri.
"Happy" apple cake
1 package yellow cake mix
11/4 cup water
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup quick oats
3 medium apples, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
Caramel crunch topping:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-by-2-inch rectangular pan. Mix cake mix (dry), water, oil, butter, eggs, oats and graham cracker crumbs in large bowl on low speed. Scrape bowl frequently, approximately every 30 seconds. Fold in cooked apples. Prepare apples by cooking them until tender over medium heat with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter. Pour mix into pan; sprinkle evenly with caramel crunch topping (see directions below). Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 38 to 43 minutes; cool completely.
To make the caramel crunch topping, blend with a pastry cutter the graham cracker crumbs, butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
Apple cake
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
11/2 cup flour
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup nuts
3 cup finely chopped raw apples
Apple sauce:
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk
Beat together the eggs and vanilla. Add sugar and shortening. Sift remaining ingredients and add to mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Heat sauce until melted. After cake has cooked 40 minutes remove from oven and pour sauce on cake and bake 20-25 more minutes.
Apple pizza
2 teaspoons flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 can refrigerator biscuits
1 cup grated mild cheese
2 apples, peeled, cored and grated
Dab of butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Measure the flour, sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl. Mix well. Press or roll biscuits into flat circles and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle grated apples on biscuits, then sprinkle with grated cheese. Spoon on brown sugar mixture and dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

There was only one time when Columbus despaired of making his voyage. It was the night of August 23, in the port of Las Palmas on Grand Canary Island.
After so many years of struggle, his three caravels had finally set sail from Palos, only to run into trouble almost at once. After so many priests and gentlemen in the courts of Spain and Portugal had smiled at him and then tried to destroy him behind his back, Columbus found it hard to believe that it wasn't sabotage when the rudder of the Pinta came loose and nearly broke.

Special report
Glasgow Daily Times
GLASGOW — Wednesday morning at 7:49, Glasgow Police were called to Wendy's Restaurant where a deer had broken through a glass door, ran through the dining room and jumped out of a front window.
The deer then ran through McDonald's parking lot, across U.S. 31E bypass and into a tree line near Service One Credit Union.
The deer was injured and has visible blood on its torso. The injury may also make it more aggressive toward what it considers further threat. Anyone who sees the deer should call the Police Department at 651-5151.
Do not attempt to shoot the deer.

In the video, Beggs said, Holmes' hair is dyed bright orange.
A police detective testified that Holmes apparently visited the cinema and took photographs of hallways and doors several times before the shootings.
The photographs were recovered from Holmes' cell phone and go along with months of sales records and descriptions of meticulously prepared booby traps at his home. It all helps illustrate what would appear to be a well-planned attack.
On July 7, Holmes used an online ticketing service to buy a ticket for the midnight showing of the movie, according to Detective Craig Appel, the lead investigator in the case.
The apartment
Witnesses detailed preparations that prosecutors believe Holmes made before setting out for the theater to turn his sparsely decorated Aurora apartment into a deathtrap.
At least some of the preparations were well under way by July 16, based on a photograph from Holmes' phone shown by prosecutors. In it, jars, wires, firework shells and other bomb-making materials are laid out in his kitchen.
By the time Holmes left, the carpet in his apartment had been soaked in oil and gas, FBI bomb technician Garrett Gumbinner testified. A container of glycerin hung above a frying pan with a potassium mixture, attached to a trip wire that would tip the glycerin into the pan, Gumbinner testified.
Had it been triggered, Gumbinner said, it would have set off an explosion and fire, igniting jars of homemade napalm spiked with bullets and thermite -- a metallic substance that burns so hot it is nearly impossible to extinguish.
In a twist that seems ripped from the pages of a comic book, Holmes also rigged his computer and a boom box placed outside to begin playing loud music after he set out for the theater -- apparently in hopes that the noise would prompt someone to investigate and trigger the explosives, witnesses said.
Next to the boom box outside his apartment, Gumbinner testified, Holmes said he placed a toy car and a device that looked like it would control the car but would instead have set off the explosives.
Authorities said they recovered the boom box, which bore Holmes' fingerprints. The remote-control car device was never found, Appel testified.
A series of self-portraits displayed in court, apparently made before Holmes allegedly left for the theater, according to data retrieved from his phone, show him in eye-blackening contacts, his tongue stuck out in one, flashing a toothy grin and a handgun in another.
The shooting
Video from the theater shows a man they say is Holmes -- wearing dark pants, a light-colored shirt and a dark stocking cap covering his orange hair -- entering the multiplex before the movie begins.
The recordings show him going into Theater No. 9, a different theater from the one listed on his ticket.
Sources have said they believe he propped open the theater's back door and went to his car to put on body armor and arm himself. Authorities believe Holmes then re-entered the theater, tossing gas canisters before opening fire about 18 minutes into the movie, according to sources.
Witnesses who have spoken to CNN about the shooting have said the gunman roamed the theater, shooting randomly as people tried to scramble away or cowered between seats.
Among the 41 calls to 911, one stands out. In the 27-second call, at least 30 shots can be heard amid the chaos.
At some point, according to Pearson, one of Holmes' weapons jammed.

*No Dr Outside Contact Please*
For anyone to say that I AM my diagnosis, tends to make one say and believe that they can't do this or that because, after all, I am (fill in the blank) and that's how (people with......) behave.
I'm sure I would have more to say on the topic at another time; right now is not a good time, I just thought I would put in my 2 cents worth.
I'm glad you responded. I want to hear everyone's triumphs. I really want to know what works for people in their lives. For me it's my career. For others it might be their parenting (mine is at an end with my daughter off at graduate school). Those of us with Bipolar Disorder need to celebrate our lives and our successes as well as dwell on our challenges. It's easy to get lost in what doesn't work. I want to celebrate what does.
I have 2 beautiful boys, a preteen and teenager, whom I'm working at rebuilding a relationship with after that tremendous crash. I have a step-daughter to be with a grandchild on the way to look forward towards. I have a wonderful man who stands at my side through the worst and the best whom I am planning to marry later this year. I'm rebuilding my relationship with my crazy mom and her long time significant other. I've built a wonderful support network of friends, rt and here. Life is slowly coming together with a lot of work and determination, but most of all, a positive outlook.
Life is good. And I need to remember that more in my dark moments. Thank you for asking about triumphs. Sometimes we forget to celebrate even the small stuff. We all need reminders like this, I think!
Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~Emily Dickinson
So, what works for me? Well, when I was working, I loved my job and looked forward to going everyday. I'm no longer working there because the organization folded due to finances; but definitely my job was a huge part of my recovery. It's been about two years since the place folded.......so now, untill I can get myself back to work, I have what I would considere little things that either keep me grounded or keep me from totally going under into depression. I am diag bp 2, so I lean more towards the depressed side than the manic, just fyi.....but something simple like going for a walk. Sometimes certain people would suggest I go for a walk when I was depressed and I would get angry at them and think they were minimizing my depression, that is, until I actually got myself up off the floor and went for a walk! Wow, amazing what even a short walk will do! I've been pretty blessed in that for the most part, the meds I'm on keep me fairly balanced, but there have still been occassions where depression has dipped a little lower than normal for a while. Im in one of those right now, and the biggest thing keeping me afloat is that I literally force myself to get outside and walk. Not only walking, that's just one thing - also, I try to get outside myself as much as possible and look for any opportunity that I can give to someone else in need because that takes the focus off of me and how I'm feeling.
For me, really the bottom line is that I have to keep as busy as I possibly can - I have learned that I have a choice. That unless I am SO depressed that I should be hospitalized or close to it, I have the choice to get up off my behind and DO something, anything, even if it's just little baby somethings. I think sometimes we hope things will get better, but we're not willing to get up and do something to make that happen. The last I heard, no one is going to get very far if they don't get up and take steps. But it's too harrrrrrrrrddddddd! lol Of course it is, but we do it anyway, yes? If not this time, then the next!
I also do better with structure, which is harder for me to really maintain when I'm not working.
Hmmmmm, I thought there would actually be more of what works for me, and I'm sure there are that I'm not thinking of right now, but ohhhhhhhhhhh! lol How could I forget this one?! lol I suppose because it's not an "action" persay....but for me, the one "thing" that works for me the best is hope! Over the past several years, hope has been the driving force of my life - the kind that says no matter how bad it may get, it will somehow get better and I will somehow get through it because I always have hope! What is the opposite of hope but despair? When hope is lost, despair is right around the corner! My therapist has been the one who helped to get onto that path in my life - the path of hope.
Anyway, I'm not even sure I've responded in a way that you were asking, but that's what I have. If I've answered another question taht you didn't write, then clarify for me . lol

I will try not to worry about tomorrow. Though, I realize my physical and mental health will deteriorate and having bipolar disorder may significantly impact my will to live as I age beyond my positive and active lifestyle. I wish there were more seniors with bipolar disorder posting on this community board. We need lights ahead of us to help us hope.

Not all goblins lurk in dungeons. Some lurk just out of sight down the next dark alleyway. The Bloodghost Syndicate is a clan of bugbears that runs a mafia-like underworld, engaging in all manner of crimes. Enter their world here, and drop them straight into your next D&D adventure.
The word "goblin" brings forth images of shrieking humanoid warriors descending upon a village in the dead of night, long columns of armored hobgoblins marching in precise formation, and cunning bugbears waiting in ambush along a forest track. The Bloodghost Syndicate likes to keep it that way. From hidden lairs in cities across the world, it engages in extortion, assassination, robbery, and even the occasional legitimate business venture. Spurred on by a combination of boundless greed and shrewd cunning, the Bloodghost Syndicate has built an empire of crime beneath the noses of those sworn to defend civilization from goblinoid incursions.

The car has no boost and it makes a whinning noise in stead of boosting. It is not a whooshing noise so there are no split pipes. (had one of those before). For what it's worth, I think one of turbos is not spinning, but how do i find out which one. Do you have to pull the engine out to get the turbos off ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Limits of DOE involvement in contractor personnel matters
The Department of Energy's Office of Inspector General issued a short inspection report today that looked at an allegation that an official in DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy had violated fed regulations and procurement guidelines by his/her involvement in contractor personnel decisions. While the inspection did not find that the manager violated any rules (though acknowledging how that could be perceived), the report provides a pretty good review of what's allowed and not allowed in the sometimes delicate boundaries between DOE and its contractors. Here's a link to the IG report.
