Love: I've been engaged five times, divorced once ... But I still believe in love
With St Valentine's Day almost upon us, who better to talk to about the intricacies of love and marriage than a self-styled runaway bride, one-time divorcée, and author of four works of romantic fiction?
"Six engagements and a starter marriage, as I like to say," says Fiona O'Brien, whose latest book is entitled, suitably enough, The Love Book, about three friends who made childhood wishes to St Valentine and the effect this had on their adult love lives.
The author can be light-hearted about her romantic past today, having had the time and space to reflect on her actions. At the time, O'Brien thought she was having fun, but in reality she was locked in a semi-permanent state of what she calls "commitmentphobia".
"I only realised years later, having done a bit of therapy, what was going on," O'Brien says. "Basically my parents' marriage was unhappy. It was hit by tragedy when my mother had a brain haemorrhage that left her paralysed down one side of her body.
"Part of me was craving love and security by getting engaged to these guys, and they genuinely did mean something to me. But another part of me was subconsciously screaming that I didn't want to risk marriage because the first one I ever knew was so difficult.
"So I would get engaged, and the more the engagement went on, the more panicked I'd get. I would get out of it, and be confused and upset, and repeat the pattern all over again."
After school, O'Brien, who grew up on Ailesbury Road in Dublin 4, went on to study languages in UCD, but dropped out after a year when her father died suddenly, and she became responsible for caring for her mum.
She got a job in an advertising agency, and it was at this stage that O'Brien got her first marriage proposal. She was in her early 20s, and it was to her childhood sweetheart. "That's the closest I got during those first engagements: we got within two weeks of a wedding," O'Brien recalls.
The next engagement was to another man in Dublin, but O'Brien broke off the relationship to live in London. "I think that engagement was about escaping the situation at home where I was caring for my mum," O'Brien explains. "But instead of getting married I escaped to London."
Whilst living there, O'Brien had two more engagements. "Each relationship was for two-three years, but I would have gone rapidly from one to the other," she says.
The fifth engagement was with an American man living in New Orleans. "I went over there for a while, but it didn't work out," she says. "There was a personality clash, and I'm a bit of a home-bird too."
O'Brien laughs at the suggestion that there must have been something exceedingly "marriageable" about her. "Looking back I think I was very shy and demure, and this might be an awful thing to say, but I think some men find that appealing," she says.
"In my defence, I took the romances seriously, and I was very good to the men. I wasn't flirtatious or playing the guys off of one another. Growing up with an invalid mother, I think I was groomed to take care of people. I suspect that men found that attractive."
But surely her family and/or friends must have expressed concern when she kept hopping from one engagement to the next? "Not for the first two," she laughs in response.
"When you're young you don't really reflect on anything in your life. You get caught up in romances and fun. I kept thinking it would never happen again, but then another man would propose."
However, on the sixth engagement, O'Brien finally went through with it. Why then, and why that guy?
"I think everything just lined up," she replies. "The timing was right -- I was 34 -- and I was in love with him. He was successful and attractive. The marriage only lasted for two-and-a-half years. He was a lovely guy, but we were both making each other miserable."
O'Brien says that she's still in contact with most of these men from her past.
"A lot of them are married now, and we'd exchange emails at Christmas or on birthdays," she says.
"It was so long ago that you can laugh about it now or talk about it without awkwardness."
She left her advertising job in 2001 (when she was in her mid-30s) to write full-time, and six books later, O'Brien says that she's "extremely happy" living alone in Sandymount with her dog. "It took me a long time to realise that that's the thing that works best for me," she says.
"I have terrific friends, and certainly I date and have relationships, but for me it works better if I live alone. My own sense of peace and personal space means a lot to me."
That said, O'Brien says that she hasn't been so burned out by love as to be closed off to the idea of falling for someone again.
"Experience has taught otherwise, but part of me is an incurable romantic, and thinks there is somebody out there," she says.
"I think most women are romantics, despite what we say. All the heterosexual woman I know would like to meet someone and fall in love, if they're willing to admit it."
Could she imagine marrying again?
"I never say never, but I wouldn't think it likely," she replies. "It would have to be someone very special."
The Love Book by Fiona O'Brien is out now, published by Hachette.

MLK Jr. and the
Black Civil Rights Movement
"The object of the [Fourteenth] Amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political, equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either." -- Justice Henry Billings Brown
Homer Plessy
"We consider the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff's argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it."

September 1957
Federal troops protected 9 blackstudents going to Central Highin Little Rock throughout 1957academic year
Little Rock opted to close all 3 public high schools for 1958 academic year rather than integrate
He then identifies 4 steps to any campaign of direct action:
"We know from painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed...We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights."
"create a situation so crisis-packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation."
"I have tried to stand between these two forces, saying that we need emulate neither the 'do-nothingism' of the complacent nor the hatred and despair of the black nationalist. For there is the more excellent way of love and nonviolent protest."

Dota 2 and Name Changes

import from Excel expects XLS (and there are some potential conflicts between recent XLS and the almost-Excel-97 access import filter).
Excel can open .CSV etc without flinching.
...what is the file you are trying to open?
Access can also open .CSV without flinching (and in most cases opens .CSV better than it opens .XLS).
banging on a big drum - this is Micro$oft-warez: without version information in the question it is real tough to understand what is going on.currently using SS 2008R2

Meet the Diaz Family.
I have just recently gotten to know them and I am so blessed to have them in my life!
Let me tell you a little somethin about this beautiful family.
These guys have their priorities straight and have God at the center of their lives. Everything about them, the way they run their family, the way they live, just points back to Jesus.Tito is the high school pastor at Christ Community and has such a passion for ministry and his students. The way they live their lives to glorify God is so challenging and something I admire greatly.
They are some of the most loving, open people I have ever met. Even after this shoot I didn't even know them and they invited me out for dinner and to hang out. It blows my mind how they just want to love and serve people.
They welcome me into their house all the time. Just last night I was sitting on their couch drinking homemade peppermint hot cocoa and watching them decorate the house. I love going over there because I always leave happy and feel so loved by everyone!
I could say so much more but just know that if you ever have a chance to meet you, you will be blessed by them.
I was honored to shoot their family photos and I had a hard time narrowing it down for this blogpost! We had a blast in St Charles running around before the sun went down

So I bought Benefit's Bella Bamba. The lady from Sephora was quite generous when she tested the product on my cheeks and I looked mmmm feverish under the harsh white light.
Anyhoo I decided to take the safe route and applied just a brush of Bella Bamba on my cheeks.
I didn't look any different so I guess I was not using enough product. Five swipes on the cheek and I was back to the clown with a fever look.
The magic number is 3. 3 sweeps on the blush, 3 sweeps on the cheek and I look ok. Not too flushed and not too pale. But I can never put the blush on consistently. I'm not sure if it's my poor skills or the little brush which came with the blush.
The color is just right for me. I used to use a pink blush from Ipsa and it was just too pale and unnatural. Blush Delice from Loreal was the next blush. It too needed skills. Sometimes 1 sweep was just 1 sweep too much. The brush picked up either too little or too much and I could never tell.
The Loreal blush has been discontinued. Geez now you know how long it took me to finish anything! The little thing lasted forever, especially when 1 sweep could prove too generous.
Then came the miracle which was Kit Cosmetics Lip and Cheek tint I picked up at Gold Coast. It was like Benetint but cheaper!
I guess my skintone changed with time. The tint only works for me in winter and I needed something more summery since I now stay in the tropics.
I found it in Bella Bamba!
p.s. This is a long overdue post. I bought Bella Bamba in May!!!

Just a friendly reminder that the season doesn't hang on this series with the Phillies. We weren't saved by the sweep of the Nationals. The next three games won't be a reliable litmus test of whether or not the Cubs are back (it's been a long time since they were here, by the way, hence the 101 years and counting theme).
We tend to judge by microcosms, and it kills us. Look, the Cubs are still essentially a .500 team prone to streaks good and bad. Until the Cubs put together a month of good baseball or a month of terrible baseball, they're almost impossible to judge. The players have been playing below their career stats, so we'd be ill-informed to judge them on their lowest lows. But the season of mediocrity is now over half done, so we can't allow a few games (or even a few series) to overturn 3 1/2 months of evidence, either.
Be patient, Cub fans. Enjoy (or despise) each win and loss as it comes. Then pause to evaluate when you have a sample large enough to be reliable.
Or . . . just stick with the hopeful ignorance that is my life and assume this is the year. That's always fun, right up until the dreadful moment when reality and mathematics confirm you were wrong.
Go Cubs.

Holmer Green 3 Tring Athletic 3
Tring Athletic shared the points with Holmer Green after an entertaining score draw at Airedale Park.
Tring fought back from behind on three separate occasions, with the final goal coming three minutes into added time at the end of the game.
The hosts had the better of the first 10 minutes with a number of shots that never really troubled Tring keeper Mike Underwood, but it was Athletic who had the clearest sight at goal when Chris Vardy broke through only to shoot into the grateful hands of home keeper Ben Boulter.
Green were still seeing plenty of the ball and eventually made the breakthrough in the 33rd when striker Dean Allen tapped home after Tring failed to deal with a free-kick.
With half-time approaching Green should have increased their lead as Victor Asombang dribbled his way into the area, but Underwood managed to beat away his goal-bound shot.
Athletic needed to get back into the game quickly and, within five minutes of the re-start, they bagged the equaliser.
Vardy latched onto a long ball and crossed to the unmarked Ryan Sturges who fired home to make it 1-1.
Clearly buoyed by the goal, Athletic pressed forward – but it was the hosts who regained their lead from a quick break from a corner as Spencer Eales made no mistake from the edge of the area.
The game was turning into a real end to end affair, and within two minutes Athletic had equalised for the second time when a Graham Hall free-kick into the area was headed into his own goal by Nick Robinson under pressure from Vinnie Iannone.
Hungry for the three points, the home side responded positively again and went back in front courtesy of a 72nd minute penalty.
Tring skipper Hall was caught pushing in the area, and Allen made no mistake from the spot.
There was still time for more drama, as Asombang was sent off for retaliating to a foul by Tring's Matt Myatt, and Tring earned themselves a point in the dying seconds when Hall crossed for Tony Field to head into the roof of the net from close range.

YOU KNOW IT'S GOING to be one hell of a party when it begins by drinking bottles of wine swaddled in paper bags. Such is the case with the Portland Indie Wine Festival. Except in this case, the bagged bottles contain something far more potent than fortified rotgut—they contain the alchemy that occurs when grape varietals meet Oregon soil.
On March 15, a jury of wine experts and chefs faced down 163 bottles from 67 independent winemakers in a blind tasting. Brown paper crinkled softly; there was sniffing, slurping, and surprised glances. Eventually 82 wines were selected from 40 producers who will take to the Bison Building on Saturday, May 8, with some of Portland's best chefs, to pour their liquid art.
Far from the big-name labels you find in your local grocery store or wine shop, these wines are often the result of the skill and care of a single winemaker. The festival doesn't accept entries from any winery that produces over 2,500 cases.
"This is the ultimate un-manufactured wine experience," says Lisa Donoughe, Indie Wine Fest founder. "These are winemakers who want to reach a local audience, and care more about the unique expression of the land and vintage."
Donoughe explains she came up with the idea of the festival after discovering Oregon had an underground community of producers, often assistant winemakers themselves, piggybacking their production with larger wineries to avoid costs of buying expensive equipment. Some had small vineyards, some bought their grapes, but one thing in common between them was the difficulty of discovering or marketing their end product.
"Winemaking is farming," says Donoughe. "In 2005, we decided to create a commercial enterprise modeled after a farmers market."
Donoughe explains that, like a farmers market, festival attendees get a better understanding of what they're buying by talking to the person who watched over the product at every step.
"It gives you a sense of place," says Donoughe. "It gives a story and a meaning. So if you have a particular interest, you can find out how those grapes were grown. You understand what the vintage was like and when the rain happened. That's what we're after. We pull back the veil of the pretense."
And that's one of the aspects of the Indie Wine Fest that makes it so appealing: Craftsmanship trumps snobbery.
That's an issue particularly important to winemaker Byron Dooley of Seven of Hearts Wine and Luminous Hills.
"On some level it's just wine. Enjoy it," says Dooley. "The great thing about wine is all the layers of complexity, but also the beauty is it never bores you. These are things that anyone can experience. It doesn't have to be some mystical thing."
He should know. Memories of his first sips of Oregon pinot noir, while a student at Oregon State University in the 1980s, would eventually prompt him to ditch a career in computer science to become a winemaker 20 years later. Now on his third vintage, Dooley will be participating in the Portland Indie Wine Fest for a third year.
It's no surprise Dooley's great love is pinot noir, which he crafts in a "more old-world way." His knowledge is extensive, but the same can be said about his peers. That's one of the beauties of the festival, Dooley says, especially for a novice wine drinker.
"You're going to find a group of winemakers and wine producers who are really engaged with their customers," he says. "We're very enthusiastic to talk to people who are learning about wine on a very common sense level."
As much as the festival offers a unique opportunity to learn about wine, expanding your palate and discovering unknown gems, it's also an opportunity to eat amazing food from the city's top restaurants. This year's roster includes restaurants like Beaker and Flask, Biwa, Nostrana, and Wildwood (and so much more).
But the stars of the show are those 82 wines, 26 of which cost less than $25. Small batches crafted by attentive winemakers mean unique and quirky wines that may have started their time at the festival concealed in paper bags, but will likely occupy a place of honor at the dinner table.
"They're making these wines to satisfy their own particular palate preferences," says Donoughe. "So if someone cares about supporting a local artist they should care about supporting a local winemaker with that same passion."
Wine, art, food, and passion—it's going to be one hell of a party. What more could you want?

Silicon Controlled Rectifier - SCR
The SCR stand for Silicon Control Rectifier, it is used in industries because it can handle high values of current and voltage.
SCR Construction
The Silicon Control Rectifier SCR is consist on four layer of semiconductor which forms PNPN or NPNP structure, it has tree junction J1
J2 and J3 and also three terminals, the anode terminal of Silicon Control Rectifier SCR is connected to the P-Type of material of PNPN structure and the cathode terminal is connected to the N-Type layer of the Silicon Control Rectifier while the gate of the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR is connected to the P-Type of material near to the cathode, as shown in the given Figure.
SCR Operation / Working
The Silicon Control Rectifier SCR start conduction when it is forward biased. For this purpose the cathode is kept at negative and anode at positive. When positive clock pulse is applied at the gate the SCR turns ON.
When forward bias voltage is applied to the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR, the junction J1 and J3 become forward bias while the junction J2 become reverse bias. When we apply a clock pulse at the gate terminal, the junction J2 become forward bias and the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR start conduction.
The Silicon Control Rectifier SCR turn ON and OFF very quickly, At the OFF state the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR provide infinity resistance and in ON state, it offers very low resistance, which is in the range of 0.01O to 1O.
SCR Firing & Triggering
The Silicon Control Rectifier SCR is normally operated below the forward break over voltage (VBO). To turn ON the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR we apply clock pulse at the gate terminal which called triggering of Silicon Control Rectifier, but when the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR turned ON, now if we remove the triggering voltage, the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR will remain in ON state. This voltage is called Firing voltage.
Turning OFF methods of Silicon Control Rectifier - SCR
There are two methods through which Silicon Control Rectifier SCR can be turned OFF,
Anode current interruption method
In this method a parallel or a series switch is used to turn OFF the Silicon Control Rectifier (SCR electronics) by turning OFF the switch.
Forced Commutation method
In this method a reversed polarity battery is connected, so the current through the Silicon Control Rectifier SCR is reduced and it turn OFF.
Power Control of DC motor using SCR
In the Given ckt a Single phase controlled Rectifier is shown. which is used to control the DC motor speed. This ckt is consisting of four SCR and four Diodes. The DC voltage is supplied to the motor winding through four diodes while the DC voltage supplies to the armature through four Diodes.
In This ckt the motor is controlled through armature voltage, while the field voltage is at a constant value.
In the ckt the SCR 1 & SCR 4 are triggered at same time in first cycle, while in next half cycle SCR 2 & SCR 3 are conduct.
The motor armature receives a continuous or Discontinuous voltage depends on the firing angle of the SCR, Power factor.
In Discontinuous armature current , SCR 1 & SCR 4 are fire at angle a due to which the current flow path is form a to ß , as shown in the Fig:
The motor armature receives voltages form a to ß, while form ß to p + a the motor can't receive current.
Through this way the speed of a DC motor is controlled.
Power Control of AC motor using SCR
Speed control by Frequency Changing or Variable Frequency control method.
The frequency method is very important through which the speed of the induction motor is controlled.
Ns = 120f/P
Form the above formula, it is clear that the speed of the induction motor directional proportional to the frequency. It means that the frequency of the supply voltage changes , the speed of the indication motor also changes , increases the in put frequency of the supply increases the speed of the induction motor also increase and vice versa.
In the frequency controlled method, the three phase supply is controlled through a controlled rectifier. The voltage is applied on the forced Commutated Bridge rectifier, which produce a variable frequency for control of the induction motor.
Basic Controlled Rectifiers Circuits.
The Basic Controlled Rectifiers Circuits have main two types which are given below.
Half Wave Controlled Rectifiers Circuits with Resistive Load.
This type of rectifier CKT consist of a single SCR and a Load Resister as shown in above figure, The AC supply is feed from the secondary of the Transformer, The value of the supply is less then the forward biased voltage of the SCR. The given CKT Operation is given below.
- In given Figure (a), when the negative half cycle is applied, the anode terminal of the SCR is more negative w.r.t cathode, therefore there is no voltage flow through the Load Resistor (RL). During the negative half cycle if a plus is applied at the Gate terminal of the SCR can't conduct.
- When a positive half cycle is applied at the SCR input ,the anode of the SCR is more positive w.r.t Cathode ,This way the SCR forward biased but Stop the Load current IL until a plus is applied at the Gate terminal of the SCR, With this plus the SCR start conduction.
- At the Special angle a plus is applied at the Gate terminal, the SCR start conduction and Load Resistor (RL) receive the total voltage.(The SCR only drop one Volt) As shown in the Figures b i and b ii.
At the delay angle the value of the out put voltage is at maximum level. In the case of the resistive load, the load current is in Phase to the Load Voltage. The time after which the SCR start conduction is called Delay angle. If the SCR is replaced with the Diode then the time at which the diode start conduction is called delay angle. The time at which the SCR start conduction like a diode is called delay angle or firing angle.
When SCR conduct at angle a, then voltage from 0° to a is zero volts. But from a to p total voltage is flow through the Load as shown at b (iii), the voltage change across the SCR is shown in b (v) diagram.
Application of SCR
There are the following applications of the SCR in Electronics.
- Phase control of the signals
- For Switching of Electronics devices.
- Triggering the IC's and different timing circuits.
- Used as controlled Rectifier.

It's time for a new Fab Friday challenge over at the Fab Friday Challenge Blog!
This week we have a color challenge:
Now, this color challenge is totally based on the Kaleidoscope DSP in the Occasions catalog, a DSP that DUH DUH DUH.....I. Have. Not. Bought.
I know, I KNOW! A designer paper that Jan has not bought? Does it exist? HOW CAN THIS BE?
It be. It be because I don't really like that DSP. It just doesn't turn my crank, but I'm sure that other people find it pleasing. Just doesn't do it for me. But I have (cough, cough) bought all the OTHER DSP in the Occasions mini. However, I didn't need it to do this challenge, just had to use the same colors. Lookie:
Ingredients: Stamps - Vivid Vases; Paper - Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush, Basic Black, Whisper White, Crushed Curry; Ink - Versamark; Markers: Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush, Basic Black, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry; Other - Chevron embossing folder, Strawberry Slush ruffled stretch trim, Bitty punch pack, Black EP, Basics Jewels Rhinestones,dimensionals.
GOJUS! (YILM)! See! I didn't need the paper to get a GOJUS card! I added the stems with a marker, as this stamp does not have stems that show into the vases. Wait a minute. Is it VAHSES or VAYSES? I dunno!I have to admit I blatantly stole this idea from Patty Bennett, because she is so brilliant!
You'll be able to see all of our creations and post one of your own by visiting the Fab Friday blog. You can also visit the other DT members' blogs and see what they've done with this challenge:

Virtual Directory - an Important Program for Companies
A virtual directory can be a technologies employed by most organizations at present as it is usually a way for them to acquire a consolidated view of user identity and information without migrating off customers into one enterprise directory repository. It truly is generally known as a lightweight service operating in between identity clients along with other identity infrastructures all across the network.
The identity infrastructures is usually in the form of LDAP databases, directories or can occasionally be web services. Accessing data from these repositories is usually proxied via the use of virtual directory and cached to certain rule set. A single of the most important factors why unique organizations have decided to work with this technology is simply because they consider it to become a one-stop shop in which they are able to find every little thing they wish to understand regarding the users as well as the data associated.
Should you be aiming to make a merged view of all your shoppers, what goods they bought and what sales representatives have sold them the item, a virtual directory can quickly integrate all these data together and presenting them in a consolidated view. In lieu of developing separate information representation, the virtual directory server will receive queries, directing them into the designated backend identity directory. The data that was acquired will look as if it comes from the identical supply. The virtual directory is capable of reaching native separate repositories producing it one particular of the most critical tools in consolidating data specially those that come from distributed atmosphere.
The use of virtual directory in quite a few organizations at this time has been trigged by the several positive aspects that include this technology. Applying a virtual directory, organizations are capable to save a great deal of time considering the fact that they need to have not to synchronize information since the technology provides a more rapidly deployment of information. It's also recognized to provide views of identity information and facts which might be application distinct, avoiding the necessity to create or create a master enterprise schema. Also, the modifications which are being created in the most important sources are reflected for the sub-directories in true time.
Far more importantly, a virtual directory may also act as LDAP proxy of firewall, stopping safety threats from disturbing the smooth operation of the organization.

The Bollywood upcoming movie Ramaya Vastavaiya is a remake of Telugu movie Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. It is produced by the very well known all rounder a.k.a dancer, actor and Producer Prabhudeva. The movie has Shruti Haasan and Girish Kumar as the main leads. The trailer of the movie has been released and they look very promising too. The movie is all set to release on July 19th.
We had earlier reported that Arti Puri will be seen in the movie playing a very pivotal role. We tried getting in touch with Arti Puri to know more about her character and what does she feel about the movie after the promos went on air, but she did not speak about it as she wanted the audience feedback on the same first.
We managed to get an exclusive picture of Arti Puri in her avatar from the movie along with Sonu Sood. We have also come to know that Arti Puri has a few offers in her kitty and soon will be taking one of the offer. When we contacted her she said, "I would not like to speak about it now. I will reveal when it is the right time to do so."

Today, I want to share with you a great way to jazz up an every day Mason Jar for the up and coming 4th of July Holiday. With Mason Jars being so popular, I thought it would be super cute to have some that had ruffles on them making a great centerpiece. So, here is my tutorial for the 4th of July Rustic Mason Jar.
Here's What You Need:
- Mason Jar (Quart Size with ring)
- White Spray Paint (Flat Protective Enamel)
- 3 Bandannas (Red, White & Blue) I found these at Walmart.
- Hot Glue
- Needle & Thread (But, a sewing machine is preferred)
- Button Cover Kit
Begin by spray painting the mason jar with the white spray paint and let the it dry thoroughly.
Step 1: Cut your three strips of fabric. Cut your Blue bandanna 4″ in width, Red to 3″, and White 2″. Make sure you have no finished edges remaining, so go ahead and cut them off of the ends.
Step 2: Fray the edges of your bandannas by pulling a few of the the top & bottom horizontal threads of the bandanna. You can also use a sewing pin to help fray the edges. Just pick at the individual strings and then pull on them to help the edges fray.
Step 3: Lay your (3) fabrics on top of one another and sew a loose single stitch down the middle.
Step 4: To create your ruffle, take one of the two threads and gently pull it, causing the sewn fabric to pucker.
Step 5: To create the fabric flower, cut a 1″ strip of fabric 6″ in length. Next, base stitch along the bottom of the fabric. Once you get to the end, pull it tight and sew/tie it off. Create a button using an easy button cover kit. I finished the flower by sewing the fabric covered button to the center.
There you have it. I think these would make great centerpieces for any 4th of July Celebration.
I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial, and if you're looking for other 4th of July ideas, try these…

Sharey Early Origins
Waterford (Irish: Port Láirge), anciently the Deise region, on the South coast of Ireland in the Province of Munster, in southern Ireland where they held a family seat from very ancient times.
Sharey Spelling Variations
Sharey Spelling Variations
People who were accounted for by scribes and church officials often had their name recorded many different ways because pronunciation was the only guide those scribes and church officials had to go by. This resulted in the problem of one person's name being recorded under several different variations, creating the illusion of more than one person. Among the many spelling variations of the surname Sharey that are preserved in archival documents are Foley, MacSharry, Foaley, Foli, Fooley, Sharry, Sharrie, McSharry, MacSharey, McSharey, Foalie, Foolie, Fowlie and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Irish families left their homeland in astonishing numbers during the 19th century in search of a better life. Although individual reasons vary, most of these Irish families suffered from extreme poverty, lack of work opportunities, and exorbitant rents in their homeland. Many decided to travel to Australia or North America in the hopes of finding greater opportunities and land. The Irish immigrants that came to North America initially settled on the East Coast, often in major centers such as Boston or New York. But like the many other cultures to settle in North America, the Irish traveled to almost any region they felt held greater promise; as a result, many Irish with gold fever moved all the way out to the Pacific coast. Others before that time left for land along the St. Lawrence River and the Niagara Peninsula, or the Maritimes as United Empire Loyalists, for many Irish did choose to side with the English during the American War of Independence. The earliest wave of Irish migration, however, occurred during the Great Potato Famine of the 1840s. An examination of early immigration and passenger lists has revealed many people bearing the Sharey name: Bryan Foley who purchased land in Virginia in 1714; followed by James Foley in 1770; the Foleys also settled in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Ut prosim
Motto Translation: That I may be of use.

England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is a name for a person who worked as a fisherman. Looking back even further, we found the name was originally derived from the Old English word fischer.
Fishier Early Origins
Warwickshire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Fishier Spelling Variations
Fishier Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Fishier were recorded, including Fisher, Fischer and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Fishier arrived in North America very early: Edward Fisher who settled in Virginia in 1623; Gabriel Fisher settled in Virginia in 1635; Henry Fisher settled in Virginia in 1623 with his wife and children.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Respice finem
Motto Translation: Regard the end.

As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Mt Hood Community College teaching assistant information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Mt Hood Community College.
As the admission's office must sift through many applications, your goal is to stand out in a good way. If you already have top grades and high SAT or ACT scores, you can still improve your application, given other factors such as talent in sports, the quality of your essay, and extracurricular activities. The admissions essay is gaining weight at selective colleges, but please be aware that on average, a typical college application only receives 25 minutes of reading time. Therefore, keep your application brief, and stick to the point when answering questions.
Admissions officers seek to learn how a given applicant thinks, what kind of person they are, and their level of intellectual promise. Many colleges are paying greater attention to a student's grades not only in core courses, but in AP classes and in honors courses as well. In fact, an ideal academic record is one of progressively better grades, in classes of increasing difficulty. It is optimal to try taking advanced placement (AP) courses if they are offered, and the worst thing you can do in terms of getting into college is to drop a hard course just because you fear getting a low grade. Beyond consideration for Mt Hood Community College student teacher ratio, you may think about Cal State San Bernardino GED exams for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

I called Monday, December 19 to cancel my service since I was moving. The rep, Daniel, said it would be cheaper to place the account on hold and to restart when my new house was done. $9 service fee to resume service if I just transferred as opposed to $34.99 if I canceled and started "new" service. He said he would place my account on hold and I was to keep the equipment and he set up a tentative date to resume service of January 2nd. He said the remaining balance would be $49 and asked where I wanted that sent to. I told him my new address and told him to remove the auto pay credit card and no longer use the credit card for payments. This a.m., I received an email saying my credit card had been charged $299!! I called charter/spectrum-they said the charge is because we did not turn in equipment and that we were being charged for the new service(of a house that has no service!) and that they could/wound not credit my credit card even though they could see that I did not have service at the new location yet. They said I would have to dispute the charges with them but that since we did not turn in equipment nor cancel service, that likely we would not get any of the $299 refunded. This is a total and complete scam. They were not authorized to charge my credit card and I was told to keep the equipment since my service was being "transferred" at a later date as opposed to canceled. I am not receiving any service, yet they are charging me triple?? Disgusting, dishonest company.

Whether it's dashboard software, databases, cloud services, or smartphone apps, the SAP portfolio contains numerous products private individuals can use for as long as they wish at absolutely no cost. In this article, we introduce you to these free programs, fill you in on the limitations they may have, and show you where they are available for download.
- Full versions of software
- Cloud services
- Smartphone apps
We have specifically selected programs that are not test versions with time limits. SAP does offer trials of many of its products, however; interested users can try out nearly the entire SAP BusinessObjects portfolio, for example, at no cost for 30 days. For an overview and links to the current trial versions, simply visit the SAP BusinessObjects homepage.
Free SAP access through smartphones
A series of apps now makes it possible to access SAP systems from smartphones and tablet PCs. With these tailored mini-programs, SAP is currently catering to iPhone users in particular, but versions for Android-based devices and Apple's iPad are also on the rise. Most of the apps are free, as is the mobile system access they provide. Those from SAP's partners, however, often involve fees. Below, we introduce three intriguing iPhone apps from SAP; you can read up on similar exciting offerings in the articles "Best Business Apps for iPad" and "Best Business Apps for iPhone."
SAP Business ByDesign 2.5
SAP Business ByDesign is essentially only accessible by Web browser, with the corresponding data housed in the SAP cloud. SAP's on-demand ERP solution is thus tailor-made for mobile access. Since mid-September 2010, an app version of SAP Business ByDesign has been available for iPhone on Apple's App Store. A variant optimized for iPad is set to follow yet this year.
The app enables companies that make general use of SAP Business ByDesign to access the areas of finance, accounting, and purchasing in the solution.
Download: SAP Business ByDesign 184.108.40.206 for iPhone
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer 2.0
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer was the first software SAP began offering as an iPhone app. With it, users can access in-memory data records in installations of SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse Accelerator (SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator); for more details, check out the articles "Grafik aus Daten" and "Turbo für Datenanalysen." As such, this functionality requires an installation of SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator, but the app itself is available free of charge.
Combined with the aforementioned SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand, customers can also analyze data while on the move without the need for an extensive IT landscape – and at no cost! To find out about the specifics, turn to the article "Cloud for Free: BI on iPhone."
Download: SAP BusinessObjects Explorer 2.2.419
Sybase Mobile Sales & Workflow 1.1
Sales employees – including those in the field – are having to rely more and more on real-time data from their company's network. The free app Sybase Mobile Sales & Workflow can help by facilitating access to SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) and other elements of SAP Business Suite 7. This does, however, require the Sybase Unwired Platform to serve as the interface between users' smartphones and the target SAP system. For more details on how this works, check out "iPhone App for SAP Business Suite" (link to http://www.news-sap.com/sybase-mobile-software/31114).

IBD Blood Diagnostics
Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis are the abnormal inflammation of the intestinal wall, resulting in ulcerations, that is not related to an otherwise identified reason (e.g. colon cancer). Crohn's disease can occur in bands and can be anywhere in the intestinal tract, whereas UC occurs exclusively in the large intestine* in a defined region. Additionally, Crohns is a full thickness disease – it impacts all layers of the intestinal wall while UC impacts the surface layer.
Diagnosing IBD is generally a multi-stage process. First, a detailed patient history is examined for symptoms consistent with IBD, including, but not limited to, chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, weight loss, and fatigue. If the patient presents with possible IBD, the doctor may order imaging tests, ranging from barium swallow MRI tests to CT scans. Next, direct observation of the suspected area through endoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy is performed. Finally, tissue samples of the affected area are biopsied.
What role does blood testing play in the diagnosis of IBD? Blood testing is relatively harmless and can be used to identify signs of IBD initially and as an ongoing monitor of health in already diagnosed patients. Blood tests look for a few things – markers of inflammation (such as C-Reactive Protein), vitamin and mineral levels (to look for things line iron deficiencies indicative of bleeding or vitamin deficiencies that may pinpoint disease areas), and other functional markers (such as liver function).
What about blood tests like the Prometheus IBD Serology 7 (now in the 4th generation with the IBD sgi Diagnostic)? Prometheus, to its credit, identifies the test as aiding, not making the diagnosis, but more than a few doctors have misunderstood this claim:
The new Prometheus IBD sgi Diagnostic is the 4th-generation IBD diagnostic test and the first and only test to combine serologic, genetic, and inflammation markers in the proprietary Smart Diagnostic Algorithm for added diagnostic clairty. This test will aid healthcare providers in differentiating IBD vs non-IBD, and CD vs UC, in one comprehensive blood test. (1)
While including other factors (including inflammation and genetics), the serum marker test Prometheus Labs does is a probabilistic test, but the sensitivity and specificity are fairly low to be saying it diagnoses IBD well. For example, if we look at one of the larger preliminary reviews of the serological component, we will see that there is a sensitivity of 65% and a specificity of 94% on the primary components of the test.(2) In a more recent and larger study, the sensitivity and specificity of the Prometheus IBD testing was 80% and 61.5%, respectively. What does that mean?
Sensitivity is the percentage of sick people who are correctly identified as having the condition. Specificity is the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as not having the condition. 80% sounds a lot better than chance, right? The problems come when you do the math related to prevalence. The positive prediction value and negative prediction value are what the patient is really interested in. Looking at the second article's raw numbers we get the following:
True Positive: 23
True Negative: 45
False Positive: 7
False Negative: 19
True Negative: 45
False Positive: 7
False Negative: 19
Positive Prediction Value = True Positive/(True Positive + False Positive) = 23/(23+7)= 77%
Negative Prediction Value = True Negative/(True Negative + False Negative) = 45/(45+19) = 70%
Negative Prediction Value = True Negative/(True Negative + False Negative) = 45/(45+19) = 70%
In non-mathematical terms, this means that 23% of the people who are diagnosed with Crohn's disease by the test don't actually have, and 30% of the people that are diagnosed as not having Crohn's disease do have it. The test has other uses – including differentiation of Crohn's and UC, but the numbers above don't show tremendous diagnostic ability. The numbers above also represent a sample of individuals that already presented with the symptoms of IBD – if more fringe cases are tested, the numbers would be expected to get worse. Although not marketed this way, if this test were presented to the US population as a whole, based on expected prevalence of IBD, we'd get the following results:
Positive Predictive Value = (Sensitivity)(Prevalence)/((Sensitivity)(Prevalence) + (1-Specificity)(1-Prevalence)) = (.8)(.005)/((.8)(.005) + (.385)(.995)) = 1%
Negative Predictive Value = (Specificity)(1-Prevalence)/((Specificity)(1-Prevalence)+(1-Sensitivity)(Prevalence)) = (.615)(.995)/((.615)(.995)+(.2)(.005)) = 99.8%
This means the test falls victim to the base rate fallacy – because IBD is rare enough, the test gets skewed based on the prevalence. While no one is advocating mass screenings using this blood test, overzealous physicians may (and have) misused it with individuals that don't meet the other diagnostic criteria (e.g. sending everyone with repeated boughts of diarrhea for IBD serological testing), leading to misdiagnoses in both directions.
The folks at Prometheus are doing great work in identifying markers of IBD, and hopefully they will keep it up and continue refining their tests. Right now, their tests can provide probabilistic differentiation, but are not, in of themselves, a diagnosis.
Note: I welcome anyone to check my math - lots of numbers in the probability calculations and I wouldn't object to a confirmation or correction!
* The terminal ileum can be impacted in rare cases.
Bottom Line:
- Serological testing can be an adjunct to traditional diagnostics and assist in differentiating IBD.
- Serological tests, including the Prometheus Serum 7 and Prometheus IBD sgi Diagnostic cannot be used exclusively to diagnosis IBD.

The Prince William County Office of Planning and Boundaries has published two new attendance area recommendations that would move the Victory Lakes community into Brentsville District High School (BDHS).
The Victory Lakes Community in Bristow is currently zoned to attend Stonewall Jackson High School (SJHS) in Manassas, but the opening of the 12th high school makes room for students from that neighborhood to attend BDHS. As the proposed boundaries for the new high school moves students from the eastern portion of the BDHS attendance area out of BDHS, it makes room for Bristow students.
To alleviate some crowding at Patriot High School, the school division has already recommended that New Bristow Village along Route 28/Nokesville Road be rezoned to BDHS. The community of Victory Lakes along Sudley Manor Drive in Bristow has also expressed interest in having their students attend BDHS.
Supervisor of Planning and Financial Services David Beavers noted that Victory Lakes students from Marsteller Middle School would attend BDHS with their classmates from Bristow Village. He said this is something that parents seem to like about the rezoning.
However Beavers said he can not speak as to the reason Victory Lake residents want to be rezoned, and directed Bristow Beat to a community representative. The Community Manager for Victory Lakes Community Association declined to comment.
While there would be some benefits to the rezoning, there would also be some drawbacks. One is a longer drive. BDHS is almost three miles further from Victory Lakes than Stonewall Jackson High School is. However, the commute would be against traffic.
The boundary change is also beneficial to the school division, since it would solve two problems: filling seats at BDHS and alleviating crowding at SJHS. Although Stonewall is not overcrowded to the same extent as Patriot, by September of 2018, SJHS is expected to be a 112 percent capacity.
Both Plan 2.1 and Plan 2.1a would help alleviate some of that overcrowding at SJHS by reducing the student populations to 102.8 percent capacity in 2018
Let's stop right here. Go no further. Let's stop pussy-footing around with the issue and just tell it like it is. It's a matter of class and I don't mean the school house kind of class. Victory Lakes is a high end, posh neighborhood for the most part. Even the non-high end part is high end. They don't want their kids going to Stonewall. Stonewall is heavily minority. A quick glance at demographics, test scores, number of free lunches and graduation rates speaks volumes.
The Stonewall boundaries take in a high number of kids from apartments, townhouses, and the older communities. Some of the communities I wouldn't go through in broad daylight, just to be honest. Part of me totally understands the Victory Lakes folks. If I had a young family and had just bought a home in a swank neighborhood, I would expect to send my kids to go to great schools where there was little distraction associated with poverty, working class situations like free lunch, gangs, and low test scores.
I had three kids graduate from Stonewall. It served them well, for the most part. No place is perfect. However, it's not the same school it once was. Why? Stonewall was eclectic back in the day. You had the inside 66 crowd, the Haymarket and Gainesville crew (the country kids) and then you had the Bull Run Mountain kids. There was no great divide like there is now. Remove Victory Lakes and there will be very little divide. Stonewall will just be the step-child of Prince William County Schools.
It will be up to PWCS to do a better job of balancing socio-economic groups within its boundaries in the future. It should start right now working out plans that don't tie one school to an old, decaying section of county. Smart growth should include plans to upgrade the older schools and put programs in place that make them more desirable to students and parents. An IB program just doesn't cut it.
People have howled and carried on over a school with a swimming pool and fancy performing arts accoutrements. Much of that vocalization has come from the Gainesville District. I guess they are howling because they are jealous. On the other hand, they have new schools. Go figure. More upgrades need to be placed in the older schools. Stonewall would be a great place to start with some of the fancy remodeling. Cross training equipment and recumbent bikes in the library would be a nice touch just to start with. A little creative busing of kids would be another smart move. Rather than pulling kids from more economically advantaged locations, ,lets add some more. Nothing gets kids to like a school more than having one's friends all going there.
I don't blame Victory Lake parents. I blame Prince William County Schools for pretending there isn't a problem and for simply not addressing the issue. Tell Victory Lakes no and send over some more kids from that general area to keep them company. Keep it classy, PWCS. Keep it classy.

Electric Manchakou - Animal Man
Electric Manchakou Animal Man 7" (Helter Skelter, 1990)
You won't believe me, but there is fucking hair growing in the grooves of this record. Listen to the damn thing and tell me I am wrong. These guys are beasts: short, hairy, Italian beasts with one major Detroit fixation. From the initial guitar squall to the last "Huh," Electric Manchakou play Stooge. Nothing new, nothing original - in fact, this sounds much like Smack, the Finnish hair farmers from some years prior - but it is a good cheap pick up. What do I know about these guys? Nothing other than they did a couple more 7", one which is just as Stooged and another in which their hair goes electric. A cool three song ep which is pretty easy to find. -Scott S
<< Home
I like their first single, "(Hey) The Human Guitar" (from '89), better, though this one is worth grabbing for those hooked on early Starfuckers (and who isn't). UK release, they look Italian but I was always confused on whether they were UK or Italy based. KI
yeah, they are...but remember, I had the UK single first, as I got it when I came out - you know how one hangs on to a paradigm for awhile???...KI
hi, i'm not italian nether inglish, just french from the south, but me and my band were based in london, fucking around....M D.Post a Comment

CARLOS! Call 911! I'M BEING ATTACKED BY A CLEARLY-DERANGED BIKER!
(No, sir. That gentleman is your 2 o'clock appointment.
Can I take your vest, sir? )
Hell no! Them's my colors and I never take 'em off--even in bed.
(Really sir? They're quite, um, fragrant.
Are you getting much lately?)
As if that's any of your business, you poof!
(Oh, how quaint! Would you like tea? )
Of course. Do you think I'm a bloody barbarian?
(Oh, sir. He's written more books than you ever will.
Would you like milk or lemon?)
Milk and Cocaine. After all, this is Los Angeles, right?
(Well yes but this is a book agency.
I'm afraid all the expensive drugs
are in the movie studios.
I could put some aspirin in?)
Hell, no!
(OK, I'll just go off and get that.
Sir, here's a Xanax.
Now just climb down from the curtains,
sit in your nice big chair
and take the nice man's pitch. )
Um. Well, OK, Mr. uh... Parke. Sell me on this book. So what brought your write... Heavy-Ass People?
That's Heavy-Duty People. I've always been fascinated by the images and realities of the outlaw biker scene and irritated by the way bikers have been caricatured in films and TV. Whatever you think about outlaw bikers and the clubs, there's no denying it's a serious lifestyle, taken very seriously by those in the life, and back when I started it seemed odd that no one seemed to be writing about it in a way which treated it seriously. So I decided I wanted to explore what might it might be like to become involved, what would motivate someone to join, what choices it might lead them to make, what would it mean for them as a person. And that's how I met Damage.
Damage? What a...."delightful" name. He's not with you, is he?
Nah, he's still in Old Blighty.
Oh, good. Now "Damage," Is that his first or last name?
It's a description, really.
Oh-Kay. Well, what's your teaser pitch. that single line that get people in the door?
Get Carter' on two wheels. Damage, a UK outlaw biker tells the story of his life and club business 'how it is'.
Ok, so "Damage" is the umm... Protagonist. How does he change in the book?
It's time to step up, to join the Brethren MC World…Damage is a mixed up kid who finds acceptance and a new family when, after intervening in a fight, he becomes accepted into a local gang of bike-riding tearaways. As he grows up, the bikers become a patched bike club which eventually ends up as a piece on the board in the high stakes game of biker politics
They get offered a choice by a senior club, "The Brethren MC's local P Dazza" to patch over, or face the consequences. As these things tend to do, the gang starts to become gangsters and Damage's friends start to fall along the way.
Damage has temptations to face and choices to make. What's in it for him, who can he protect, and who could or should he stay loyal to? With brother killing brother and Dazza's plans becoming clear, Damage decides where he stands and who he's willing to kill.
Willing to kill? I am glad you left him at home or in jail or wherever he is. Why this title?
Heavy Duty – HD – People. Intense, important and hard, stronger than usual and what's needed to operate in extreme conditions.
Umm, "HD"?
Harley Davidson.
Heavy Duty – HD – People. Intense, important and hard, stronger than usual and what's needed to operate in extreme conditions.
Umm, "HD"?
Harley Davidson.
Right. Right. Right. Of course. What was I thinking? Moving on, what's the logline?
Damage lives by his club and his brothers are his life – but what happens when brother starts killing brother?
Damage lives by his club and his brothers are his life – but what happens when brother starts killing brother?
Well, here in the Colonies, usually 20 to Life but I guess things are different on on Auld Sod. Why should I buy this book?
Ask Damage:
Ask Damage:
"The only reason for doing this is to tell people what I've learnt over the years. So keep it simple, don't exaggerate it with the sort of crap that people always write about us.I want it told straight, just the way I've told you.People can either take it for what it is and like it, or they won't, in which case they can fuck off."
Damage 2008
OOOOOOKAY. I'm sold.
Carlos, fetch a blank check for my friend in the cute vest! And write up a contract with a special clause. "Damage" never gets to visit the office, got it!
(Got it, boss. Sheesh,
I'm supposed to be
the comedy wimp
and you're taking all my lines.
ut-shay u-pay!
So, Mr. Parke, where will you be appearing?
You know, the usual places: Manchester, Cardiff, Glasgow, Chester, Newcastle
Great. They all sound very far away. Where can those of us in the States buy your book, or is it books?
Amazon, of course.
and, of course on the classic Belles Lettres magazine, Duro Rider
Aritistry, Creativity & Performing Talents among bikers? So that's a single issue, right?
Not hardly.
Well, thank you very much. It's been different.
(Love to, Sir. Come back anytime!)
