I didn't think Obama's Berlin speech was as bad as Scott did. Actually, I could have given large chunks of it myself, although perhaps not with a straight face. It will no doubt contribute to the dawning realization among Obama's nutroot fans that he doesn't need them and doesn't much care what they think.
There were, of course, problematic parts, like introducing himself as a "citizen of the world." These carefully-chosen words, loaded in the context of the current campaign, were obviously intended to advance the image that Obama wants to present to American voters. It's far from clear, however, that "citizen of the world" is at the top of the list of qualities voters are looking for this year.
Much of what Obama said about Berlin was good, but he drew a perverse conclusion from the city's history:
People of the world, look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one.
But the "world" didn't "stand as one" during the Cold War, the West did. The world was divided into armed, hostile camps that fought a series of proxy wars. The Berlin airlift, and later the crumbling of the Berlin Wall, exemplified the West's determination to hold firm against an implacable foe, not some kind of mystical world-wide unity. Obama's apparent failure to understand this, although it is implicit in other sections of his speech, is disconcerting.
Obama's pontifications are sometimes harmless, but on other occasions they threaten disaster. Like this one:
As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the Arctic, shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought to farms from Kansas to Kenya.
No, actually, they aren't. But here's where the rubber meets the road on Obama's "citizen of the world" bloviation. Obama has already said that other countries may not allow us to continue using so much energy. As President, he apparently would be sympathetic to the idea that we need to shut down those cars in Boston. But, while Obama may be a citizen of the world, he'll only be President of the United States, so he won't have any influence over factories in Beijing. That's one of many reasons why our President needs to be clear on where his citizenship, and his loyalties, lie.
Obama added this:
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children to a world where the oceans rise, and famine spreads, and terrible storms devastate our lands.
Let us resolve that all nations, including my own, will act with the same seriousness of purpose as has your nation and reduce the carbon we send into our atmosphere.
In truth, reducing the world's carbon consumption will have zero effect on the oceans or on storms, but it will greatly exacerbate famine. Hunger is caused by poverty, and less energy consumption means more poverty and less agricultural production.
What is really significant about these ruminations is that Obama continues to cement himself into an anti-drilling position. During the weeks to come, his resistance to energy development will hurt his campaign much more than images of cheering Germans will help it.

Chaos and Order on Disk
Posted by Bojan Resnik on June 2, 2009
Yesterday I was searching for a program on my external disk, yet again. I've been sick and tired of searching for stuff on it for a long time, and have been contemplating to reorganize it in order to make things more logical. A lot of stuff, both useful and not, has accumulated over the years, and, needless to say, many of them are in various, completely illogical places. There are tutorials and source codes dating back over a decade ago – mostly public domain, but there are some of my own as well. There are also utility programs that I just cannot be bothered to download each time I install a new machine, such as Winamp, Avira Antivirus, Opera, Python, and a multitude of others. Some of the stuff are backups (usually in forms of disk images) of software CDs and DVDs. And finally, there are numerous silly texts, pictures and the like.
At some point, up to about 5 years ago, I had a system, and the stuff was organized according to it.But, alas, some times I was in a hurry and just wanted to copy something over, and at other times I just couldn't come up with a logical place for an item. And so, file by file, folder by folder, everything turned to chaos. Well, to be completely honest, it's not that chaotic. It still has some leftover organization from my old system and I can (mostly) remember where things are. But, there are many things I would like to see categorized differently, in different folders, some packed with WinRAR, some unpacked.
It would be nice if I didn't have to do all these by hand, so I started thinking about a program that could help me do most of these. Some of the requirements I can think of include:
- Has to run off disk – no installation necessary
- Minimal requirements (.NET framework is ok)
- It must work with physical files and folders – no database or some such required.
Basically, I'd like to run it and have it automatically collect everything on disk, allowing me to categorize the stuff without moving it around
- Metadata must be kept with physical files/folders.
If I move a folder manually, I want it to retain all the categories it belonged to
- Easy searching by name, description, category
Apart from these basic requirements, I'd like it to also have some other things I find useful:
- Automatically update installations
For example, it should connect to Winamp site and download the latest installation if necessary
- Automatically install programs
- Launch viewers for images, PDF, HTML, etc.
- Reorganize files and folders
- Pack/unpack entire applications
An application that satisfies the basic requirements would be extremely useful to me, but I would ultimately want one that satisfies these additional requirements as well. I am seriously thinking of starting this application as an open source project, but I am currently overwhelmed with other issues. Still, I think I might start it in the near future.

At this age, most of my friends have already settled down with their partners and now have their own kids, just like Liz and Ric. While I often wonder how it would feel to have finally found that significant other, I also don't feel the need to have this special someone. I don't know. I mean, I had a few relationships in the past, but right now, I'm okay with being by myself.
Nonetheless, I constantly get this nag from my friends to find someone, to be in a relationship. I remember one of my closest friends saying that I'm being too picky and that I have this protective instinct of pushing away by looking at the other person's flaws. But why not, each one has her own standards in finding Mr. Right? Hahaha! My mom, meanwhile, thinks that I've seen too many women of my age suffer from failed marriages. She thinks that I've unconsciously developed a phobia with relationships having seen people in it get hurt.
Am I really afraid to allow myself to be vulnerable? Is this the reason why I block off a potential love when I see it coming my way? Am I really too idealistic that even a hint of defect turns me off?
Let go and let love
Nanette Geiger, a renowned relationship coach and author of many books and articles focusing on Relationships, the Law of Attraction and Self-Mastery, talks about fear as a hindrance to an intimate and thriving love relationship in her Health, Wealthy n Wise article, Law of Attracting Relationships: Opening Your Mind to Let Love into Your Life.
Nanette says that "Fear comes in quite a few different disguises, justifications, and excuses. If you desire to share a life in intimate partnership, you must take back your power and ask for the Spirit to take over." I think this applies both to those who are unattached and also to those who are in a relationship.
Some people tend to be a bit controlling when it comes to relationships because they want to make sure that they don't get hurt. Others are afraid to even start a new relationship probably because of a past painful break-up. But just like what Nanette said, one must allow love to flow freely. This means putting yourself out there, unafraid of heartaches, because this is the only way for you to genuinely love and be loved.
Be Tough on Rough Times
Whenever I feel like giving up on something because of too much complications and pressure, I always psych up myself by thinking that success tastes better if the road to it was bitter. I guess this also goes to relationships. I admit, I find it both weird and amazing how a couple ends up being together despite a series of heartbreaks caused by unresolved differences and even third-parties! My, I can't imagine living like that!
Maybe this is what Nanette is trying to say when she mentioned that a loving, fulfilled intimate relationship is not necessarily free from blunders. Often these obstacles serve as tests of your personal ego. But if you are absolutely certain about the love that you've found, this is where ego melts and forgiveness rise. Of course, this does not mean becoming a martyr and tolerating infidelity. This means being able to accept you and your partner's limitations, to gain the strength to correct the mistakes and keep the relationship going and even better.
Don't Stop Growing
Growing in a relationship means growing both as a couple and individually. Having found somebody who loves you does not give you a license to be complacent. Relationship is a work in progress and a life-long commitment.
Never be afraid of the hurdles because these are the best measure of growth. To be in a relationship and to be successful in it, the persons engaged must know when something is wrong, must be able to recognize the problem. Often, most failed relationships are caused by unacknowledged mistakes because none of the parties were brave enough to admit that something is not right.
Once you both have identified the problem, take aggressive steps to resolve it. Even if you're both in love, problems don't go fix themselves, the parties involved do. Nanette mentioned self-help sessions by trained relationship coaches like her. Do not be ashamed to seek help. After all, if the relationship is really worth fighting for; fear, ego and shame can be conquered.
What's ironic is that while I am still single, most of wedded friends would always seek my advice especially as they go through the bumps of married life. Perhaps because among us, I'm the one who's almost always available since I don't have kids and a husband to take care of. Ah, the perks of being single!
I know, I know, I should not be afraid. I may not be aware of it but maybe my friend and my mom have a point. I may be thinking too much about my personal worries, maybe being too much about myself too. To be selfless, yes. Once I have mastered this, I know I am ready for love.
I hope you are too!

RATIONALE: Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Combining different types of biological therapies may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of biological therapy following surgery and radiation therapy in treating patients who have primary or recurrent astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma.
|Condition or disease
|Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors
|Biological: aldesleukin Biological: autologous tumor cell vaccine Biological: muromonab-CD3 Biological: sargramostim Biological: therapeutic autologous lymphocytes Procedure: surgical procedure Radiation: radiation therapy
|Phase 2
- Determine the efficacy of immunotherapy with irradiated autologous tumor cell vaccine and adoptive immunotherapy, in terms of time to progression and median and one-year survival, in patients with primary or recurrent malignant astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma.
- Determine the immunogenicity of malignant gliomas in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to extent of disease, extent of antigen-specific response to vaccination, performance status (0 vs 1), prior therapy (yes vs no), and gender.
Patients undergo tumor resection on week 1. Patients without recurrent disease receive local radiotherapy on weeks 2-8. Beginning week 10-12, patients are vaccinated with irradiated autologous tumor cells and sargramostim (GM-CSF) and then receive GM-CSF alone intradermally at vaccination sites daily for 4 days. Patients are revaccinated 4 weeks later and may receive up to 3 additional vaccinations every 2 weeks until a response is detected.
Patients undergo peripheral blood mononuclear cell collection on week 14 followed by monoclonal antibody OKT3-activated T lymphocytes IV over 1-6 hours with alternating interleukin-2 IV once every other day for 5 doses over 10 days beginning on week 16. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients may receive one additional course of immunotherapy as above.
Patients are followed at 1 week, monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.

We are determined to make it a lovely holiday season and to enjoy the goings on without too much sadness. Frankly, it's a big relief to know we are almost done with this year. Sadly, after the new year arrives-we will have to journey through the one year mark of that dark day of my brother's passing. I don't expect any of us to get through that very well. But thankfully time does heal a bit, soothing over the rawness of losing a loved one. The Lord has been holding us up in His love and we have become a lot stronger.
That said, we also have lots to be thankful for this year and we will focus on those things. Thought I would share, especially since I want folks to know that even though you may be walking through a terrible valley you can still have much to be grateful for. I have purposely sought out those 'good things' this year. And boy has it been a year!
Thankful for:
(these are but a few of the good things)*My mother-in-law recovering nicely from her fall last November [2014]. It's been a long road for her but she is doing much, much better. (This happened just before we went to Portugal, and the care/healing process was also during the time we were dealing with my brother)
*My husband's early diagnosis of skin caner and subsequent removal of it. Since it was caught in the very early stage, it was removed completely. He was given the all clear. All of his other biopsies hence have come back benign as well-so a mega PRAISE GOD moment there. (Again-this too was during that same time. Actually got the diagnosis during the holidays. Yes, talk about a triple whammy)
*The end of the season. Our youngest was on a cruddy baseball team this year, and the weather did not cooperate all season long! It made it hard to want to go to the games. But he played well and improved his skills and I guess we'll consider that a big win. Actually, we were all relieved when it ended. That was a very happy day.
*Our oldest son purchasing his first home. It was a big step into adulthood for sure. He also switched to a different company/job and is now up for a nice promotion. So obviously, we are very proud of him. And to think-he was homeschooled from K-12th. Huh. Guess we didn't mess him up too badly. He certainly seems to be able to function in the 'real world', far better than the dire predictions we heard over the years. Yes, I am being a bit snarky there. If I had a dime every time I heard that one.....
*Both of our older kiddos entering serious relationships with two very wonderful people. My mom intuition thinks these relationships may actually lead to marriage somewhere down the road here. We'll see how things work out but that is definitely a great thing to ponder.
*A 'Tag-a-long' work trip with my hubby that resulted in us being able to stay a beautiful cabin on a lovely lake in Wisconsin. That also resulted in our seeing a very handsome bald eagle whose residence was literally across the lake from us on a wee little island. I mean that beauty actually put on a show for us. It was truly amazing!
*Getting the classroom ready, and curriculum mostly purchased prior to the beginning of school. That has been a big challenge for me these past couple years. I was quite pleased with myself on that one.
*Getting a daily/weekly planner to try to organize our life and goings on. I have been OKish with being consistent but need to be more diligent. That is why I started with a $10 one, but I really, really want an Inkwell Press planner. Maybe next year after I have tested my ability to stick with it first.
*Finally getting the nerve to do some YouTube videos of our classroom, and various other things that I have long pondered filming. I need to do more but it's just been kinda hectic, so that is my 2016 goal for sure. Baby steps here.
My YouTube channel:
*Positive results that at first were a bit sketchy. After my initial lady check-up in September, I began a three month odyssey that was rather nerve racking and down right scary at times. I ended up having some not so good results that lead to ultrasounds, tests and more tests, and even a biopsy. The "Let's rule out cancer." was mentioned here and there too. Damn scary! Trying to ignore those "what if" thoughts while trying to keep the home running and educating the boy was a real challenge while we waited for the results. I also had some bleeding issues (after the biopsy) which left me very exhausted, weak and probably anemic. Yah, it was that bad. Anyway-the thankful moment came when the uterine biopsy/mammogram results all came back negative for cancer or problems. Hallelujah! I may have to consider another procedure to alleviate some issues I still have but for now-I am not messing with it.
House decor-check. Village set up-check.
Big cookie bake and frosting day-check.
Xmas shopping-mega fail...working on it.
Christmas cards written out and mailed-double fail, soon though.
*Finding time to research/begin the Trim Healthy Mama plan. Talk about confusing at first. But I have been trying to follow it. I am what they call "a turtle" but I am determined to give it time. It's hard. But I have had some good results and hope to see many more. And now I have a YouTube video up with two more coming relating to the THM plan!
Check them out!
*Finally, finally getting a real Xmas tree. For many years past there has been so much going on, including but not limited to: traveling out of the country too close to the holidays to warrant one, traveling in early to mid-December to arrive home only days prior to Christmas, illnesses, family issues, not being able to budget a spency real tree, not wanting to deal with the 'needle gate' that occurs with real trees, or just being grumps. Which if you ever have a year from hell, you can relate- it's very hard to be in the 'spirit' of it some times. BUT this year-we have a gorgeous Douglas Fir that is like 9 feet tall (probably 10' in the stand) that makes the house smell wonderful and looks so pretty.
*Being blessed with a wonderful daughter who likes to decorate and do some of that for me esp. since I have been ill. She also was the one who decorated the home for us while we were at the hospital with my family last year. Her loving heart and willingness to create something beautiful has been such a huge blessing. In fact, our boy has also really jumped in and helped too. His 6'1" frame makes decorating much easier! He has been a real trooper picking up slack while his dad is traveling.
*For a husband that is a great provider who works very hard, long days/weeks and still takes time to dedicate time to the kids/me/fam and the home. I am also thankful he has made the effort to show our boy how to fix a few things things. Esp. since I have had to call on him (the boy) to repair broken stuff lately. Like the garbage disposer.
*For my wonderful blog readers. Thank you for visiting and your kind/encouraging words.
*For the Hope and Grace and Shelter only the Lord can provide. So very glad I have Him as my Rock and my Provider. No one else could have walked me through this year, lifting me up when I could barely stand, answering prayers and filling my broken heart with his Mercy and Love. So very thankful for that!
and lastly-
"Leave me 'lone!"
She loves the heat from the cable box.
Silly Cleo.
Well that is about all for 2015. Have a Blessed Christmas,
may the Lord be ever present in your lives
and may the coming year be a good one!

Hello, so I have been trying to install TRYK to my server and well all i remember I had to do was place the @TRYK folder into the main server directory and add the .bikey file to the keys folder, and that was it you just started the server and joined.
**Edit: I also had to add the commandline starting parameter...
However when I do join I'm not entirely sure that TRYK is installed as in the infiSTAR spawn menu, the uniforms are not in there.
If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it because I have tried the same thing with HVP and this did the same thing, were they aren't there.
Thanks for reading and trying to help.

Angular contact ball bearingsAngular contact ball bearings have raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced with respect to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that they are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases with increasing contact angle. The contact angle a is defined as the angle between the line joining the points of contact of the ball and the raceways in the radial plane, along which the load is transmitted from one raceway to another, and a line perpendicular to the bearing axis.SKF angular contact ball bearings are produced in a wide variety of designs and sizes.

Health Advocates Criticize Move Toward "Skinny" Insurance
CARSON CITY, Nev. – Activist groups say President Donald Trump's proposal to allow cheaper, low-benefit health care plans is just another attempt to upend the Affordable Care Act – and they predict it will drive overall prices further up, not down.
On Tuesday the administration proposed a rule change that would exploit a loophole in the ACA that allows short-term policies that don't comply with the minimum coverage requirements.
The new rule would extend them to 364 days.
Frederick Isasi, executive director of the health advocacy group Families USA, says these so-called skinny plans do not cover pre-existing conditions, have no annual or lifetime spending limits and can leave people with massive debts.
"They tend to exclude many, many more things than just maternity care," he points out. "So they exclude things like mental health care, in-patient hospital stays, things that have huge costs to families."
The president's supporters say this will give people a low cost option and predict only about 100,000 to 200,000 people will sign up.
This follows the GOP decision to lift the individual mandate to buy insurance as part of the tax bill.
Isasi says these two moves are designed to destabilize the health care system by siphoning off young, healthy people from the much larger insurance market.
"What this threatens to do is pull some of the healthiest people who are lowest risk out of the existing pool and make coverage much more expensive for folks who might be higher cost or have higher needs," he explains.
The administration reportedly is considering allowing the so-called short term plans to be renewed indefinitely. The proposed regulation will now be open for public comment for 60 days on regulations.gov.

What we do
In this section you can find out more about what we do, our achievements, and the strategic approach we take.
At the Commission
We are an independent statutory body with the responsibility to encourage equality and diversity, eliminate unlawful discrimination, and protect and promote the human rights of everyone in Britain.
The Commission enforces equality legislation on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation – these are known as protected characteristics.
Britain is fortunate to have a strong equality and human rights legal framework to protect people from discrimination and violations of their basic rights and freedoms. However, the experiences of many people across England, Scotland and Wales often do not reflect what is set out in law.
It is the Commission's role to make these rights and freedoms a reality for everyone. We use a range of powers to do so, by providing advice and guidance to individuals, employers and other organisations, reviewing the effectiveness of the law and taking legal enforcement action to clarify the law and address significant breaches of rights.
The Commission is:
1. A catalyst for change
Enabling and encouraging improvement by bringing people together to devise solutions, and building capacity in other organisations to help them to effect change. Where appropriate, we conduct inquiries to explore systemic issues, gather evidence and develop possible solutions.
2. An information provider
Helping people understand their rights and responsibilities and improve compliance with the law.
3. An influencer
Using our legal expertise, research, insight and analysis to influence public policy and inform debates.
4. An evaluator
Monitoring the effectiveness of the laws protecting people's rights to equality and human rights, and measuring progress in society.
5. An enforcer
Using our strategic enforcement powers selectively to protect people against serious and systemic abuses of their rights and to clarify equality and human rights law, alongside our efforts help organisations to comply with equality and human rights standards.

I found "I Found You" to be a charming and real love story wrapped in a mystery. The mystery unfolds in the present and in the past, and comes together in a compelling and moving ending. Lisa Jewell manages a tone that is both warm and chilling, and delivers on a page-turner.
I loved the single mom character and her messy life, and felt the "realness" of all of the characters.
Fun, gripping and ultimately a moving read. Get it, stay up late…
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, it's Time to Save Yourself...
I kept my mouth shut. And, if any of you know me personally, then you know just how hard it is to get me to keep my mouth shut when I feel someone is being wronged. (It's a family trait. Both my father and daughter have this dominant gene.)
The author was J.A. Konrath and I won't bother to mention the list. If you're on it, then you've already seen this discussion that went on for several digests, during which time I had a hard time digesting. I don't know what their personal motivation was for dissing him. But I can guess that it smacks of little bit of jealousy and a whole lot of envy. Either way, they were completely missing the point when it comes to Konrath, so I'll point it out... HE'S MAKING IT WORK AND IT'S WORKING WELL FOR HIM.
There is no magic bullet. There is no absolute formula, and if you're looking for it then you need to find another profession. Konrath took complete control of writing and his publishing. He provides a great book and he's invested his career into making it work. It shows. Just go to Amazon and look up his titles. I daresay he's got more listings than 90% of the authors who are digitally publishing. In a sense, there is something very traditional about him in that he takes his career very seriously and gets the writing done so that he can give the readers what they want. I've never met the man, but I've been around this block long enough to know that if all you do is talk about publishing books, then you'll never actually write them. He's analyzed, scrutinized, taken chances, and taken his lumps. But he's still out there.
His post on his blog A Newbie's Guide to Publishing is making the rounds. (You can find the post here) It focuses on the blame game that is being played out against Amazon for a good many things, including the demise of the so-called "traditional" publishers and the impact of Amazon on markets. I think there's room for both digital and traditional... for now. No one knows the future, but I do know that the cost of printing books is prohibitive to getting good books to market and readers. Blaming Amazon for something like this is ridiculous. Things change. Deal with it. And if you can't, then you didn't belong in publishing.
It's evolution, people... every market evolves, whether it's books, food, clothes, they are all subject to trends and advancements. Amazon didn't put Borders out of business. Borders put themselves out of business for a lot of reason, one of which was a failure to react to changes in the market in a timely manner. It's 101. The same could be said for those writers who stick their heads in the sand and refuse to look at the possibilities.
Let me tell you a dirty little secret... I went to college originally to be a travel agent. Okay, so not so dirty. But how many of travel agents do you see today? Most agencies have closed up shop. Oh, there are a few of them left, but believe me when I say that the increasing use of the Internet made that job obsolete. My education isn't completely useless, though. It helps me out a heck of a lot when I want to book a flight or look for a vacation package in some sunny destination (it is Maine here, after all). But ultimately, Travel Agents went the way of the dinosaurs. If people can do it all themselves and cut out the middle man and the extra cost, then they should do it. That's why companies like Expedia and Travelocity are going gangbusters!
Finally, getting back to the whole green with envy thing. My feeling is that if someone is doing better than you then that's the person you want to watch and learn from. Konrath blogs with regularity and he offers up all the knowledge he has willingly. He's a pretty open book kind of guy (pun intended). Take it. Take it and run with it. Take it and publish with it, and make your own publishing experience a success. Don't be a dinosaur, or play the blame game. It doesn't look good on anybody.

personally I hold Konrath up there with the guy who invented the printing press. genius. truly. as a marketer FIRST (For my brewery) I've already used many of the "Tricks" to get my company noticed. Now that my writing career is taking off a bit, I am reading his advice and mentally dog-earing pages of his blog like a crazed maniac. Brilliance. And because he's stuck his neck out and gotten good at it, well, he'd gonna get it smacked. It's human nature. thanks for this! well said.

- Greta said...
Basically, I couldn't agree more. There's no point in whining about somebody who has made it - and it isn't just Konrath in people's sights, after all. Get off your behind and work at it. He sure did.
- February 16, 2012
- Teagan Oliver said...
Liz and Grace, I agree. It's always easier to learn from people who have already done the trial and error for you. Not all his ideas will work for every authro, but the big one is that the more work you have out there, the bigger your presence, the more books you'll sell. There's tons more, but he works hard for what he's got. No one should beat him up for it.
- February 16, 2012
- Suzanne Johnson said...
Great post! I don't read Konrath's genre but I do know what he's got is a lot of energy, the smarts to market and play the system, and the huge backlist that comes from a lot of hard work. There's no point hating somebody for that! He publishes both digitally and traditionally, and there's nothing wrong with that either. And now I'm going off to write :-)

Hi Teagan~
I'm not in the group you are talking about, but I'm glad you decided to speak up!
Konrath has valuable info for everyone looking to self-pub and he encourages everyone to get themselves out there and try!
He is definitely someone to watch/follow!
Great post!

- Nina Pierce said...
I definitely have Konrath/Hocking envy...deep green shades of it oozing out my pores. But do I diss them and say they didn't work for it? Hell no. They worked hard ... damn hard.
They wrote book after book after book. I'm working on that part. It's so easy for me to NOT write. So my lack of stellar sales falls completely in my lap.
I do watch what successful authors do and follow their advice. No sense reinventing the wheel.
Great post, Teagan.

- Susan Vaughan said...
Teagan, you hit the target dead center. Mostly it's sour grapes talking when people trash someone successful. Your travel agent analogy is exactly right. And we don't have many harness makers either.
- February 17, 2012
- Lina Gardiner said...
I guess as long as there is success there will be envy from smaller minded individuals.
Personally, I take heart from these kinds of successes, it shows there's hope for all of us.
- February 17, 2012
- Teagan Oliver said...
Thanks to all who posted comments. I'd let myself stew over it long enough that I knew I had to speak up. I'd like to be a successful as Nora or any of the other top of the list writers, but without my butt in the chair and my hands on the keyboard I will only have myself to blame for mediocrity.
Stay tuned. I'm sure there'll be another rant at some point in my future :)

Good points Teagan.

I'm addicted to online shopping. I have NEVER ordered clothing online, it's never been my thing but with all these emails I'm getting with free shipping and 20 % coupons I fell in their hole. Here are some things I've gotten the past month...I promised myself I would stop! I did need some fall temperature stuff...
I fell in love with this dress because of TWITTER! I started following the K-dash clan last week and they kept telling me to go to QVC.com and look at their fall collection, well I did and i got this.
This is the only peice I paid full price for..well QVC had it on sale but I didn't get free shipping. I think you can wear this in the summer and winter. I will wear mine with sandals on sunny days and leggings on cooler days :) Hopefully it fits perfectly, I haven't received it yet and I needed something with sleeves.
I know, everyone is thinking..WHY BOOTS!? you live in Florida! WELL FYI I wore my boots for 3 months last year. It was very COLD here in central Florida and the temps got down in the 30's. SO I got me some comfortable boots that wont kill my feet. They look better on and are VERY VERY comfty.
I love Boston Proper and they have FINAL CLEARANCE right now! I got all of this stuff below $19...
I had to have a new bathing suit since the pool will be done in a couple of weeks. I plan on wearing bathing suits from now on instead of my tube dresses...this was on final clearance and it looks good on...I think brown goes good with blonde hair. (and I'm only kidding about wearing a bathing suit full time, I only wish)
I LOVE THIS, I go this skirt below before St. Thomas! I wear it all the time and I love how it looks like a dress but you can switch it up with a different colored top anytime you want :) I only wish I could find more skirts like this.
Tulip dress looks good on tan skin, I took it to St. Thomas also..
and that's it!
OH and guess what? I started running on Monday and have stuck with it through the entire week! (which isn't like me)...todays run was the easiest so far and I only hope it gets easier. Wish me luck on sticking with it! I'm VERY determined this time.
OH and one more thing...Remember how I told you we won a chef at the Cancer Society Ball a couple of months ago, well he comes tomorrow :) I will take plenty of pictures.

Why See State Champs?
State Champs Are Pop Punk Perfection
In early 2010, State Champs burst out of their home city of Albany, New York with a bold new vision for the future of pop punk. Whilst mixing shades of Sum 41, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy and New Found Glory, the energetic quintet put their own unique spin on the oversaturated genre thanks to fast-paced rhythms, emotive lyrics, the distinctive wailing vocals of their youthful frontman Derek Discanio and the sparkling guitar riffs of dual guitarists Tyler Szalowski and Tony Diaz. Bassist William Goodermoote and drummer Evan Ambrosio keep things pumping and fill out the sound with fuzzy basslines and pounding drums.
Following the Summer 2018 release of their third album Living Proof, State Champs are hitting the road and bringing their trademark adrenaline-spiking live show. Amidst constant crowd-surfing, moshing and fist pumping, the outfit treats fans to a feel-good, if not incredibly sweaty, concert experience with mass singalongs and a tight set filled with career-defining hits like 'Our Time To Go', 'Secrets' and 'Criminal'.

A Leighton-Linslade town councillor has called for an urgent end to worry caused to residents by the ongoing Valley Farm housing plan saga.
Developers Paul Newman Homes recently submitted a further detailed planning document to Aylesbury Vale District Council, despite it applying for planning permission over a year ago.
The consultation process had been due to end in the summer but was extended until January 28 having attracted over 600 letters of objection.
With that deadline passed for Aylesbury Vale District Council to determine the plans for over 300 homes, Councillor Dr Clive Palmer has called for a swift decision from AVDC, which recently told the LBO it was awaiting final comments from its highways engineers before the application finally goes before its planning committee.
Councillor Palmer said: "The delay in decision taking and the worry it is causing to many electors in the ward, wh0 are extremely opposed to the proposal, is very apparent."
He said Paul Newman Homes' latest planning statement had revealed support for its proposals from Soulbury Parish Council but had ignored "the overwhelming opposition from individuals who would be most closely affected, local MPs, Central Beds Council, Leighton-Linslade Town Council (representing a vastly larger population, many of whom would be more immediately affected, than people in Soulbury), or indeed attempts made to gauge public opinion in Soulbury Parish which appear to have uncovered very significant opposition".
Councillor Palmer said the development would be a "major alien intrusion" on the rural landscape and challenged the developer's claims that there was ample capacity available on the road network.
He said: "The congestion from Linslade into LeightonBuzzard (and vice versa) has progressively increased in recent years, in part because of the unalterable geography of a single canal and river crossing with severe pressure on related road junctions and knock-on impacts.
"Economic disbenefits caused by additional car journeys and congestion; social problems arising from the adverse impact on already overstretched health, education and recreational facilities; and the environmental.lanscape issues would suggest that the proposal is far from representing sustainable development."
At a recent meeting, Leighton-Linslade Town Council resolved to seek clarifcation on the expected timetable for the application to be determined by AVDC.

How to generate a single DES bitstream for Virtex-II devices?
Triple DES has yet to be cracked, and Xilinx strongly recommends this strategy for designs, reference (Xilinx Answer 13823).
If a single DES bitstream needs to be generated for some reason, make all three keys identical and you will have a single DES. For example, the BitGen option can be enabled in ISE by following these steps:
1. In Project Navigator, in the Processes for Source pane, right-click Generate Programming File.

In this guide:
Acuity will allow you to book as many appointments as fit into your availability. If your hours are 9:00am-5:00pm and you offer 60-minute appointments, the last available appointment will be 4:00pm.
You can set up your hours in Business Settings > Availability.
Regular Weekly Hours⚓
If you work regular weekly hours Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:30pm, with an hour lunch break at noon, you would set your hours to "9:00am-12:00pm, 1:00pm-4:30pm" (be sure to separate time ranges with a comma).
Availability for Specific Days⚓
If you need to modify the schedule for just one day, or extend your hours, this is where you want to makes these changes. If your business does not have regular weekly hours, uncheck the "This calendar has regular hours every week" box. Otherwise, you can keep that box checked and adjust the availability for certain dates.
Next, scroll down to the full calendar view and enter in your availability for individual dates. You'll have to enter in your times manually for each date for this option.
Scroll down to the monthly availability calendar and click on an individual date on the calendar, then edit those hours for each specific day.
For instance, if you wanted to change your hours on May 17th to be available from 11:00am-7:00pm you would:
- Click on May 17th on your availability calendar.
- Set the hours to "11:00am-7:00pm" for that day.
- Click "Set Hours" to finalize your availability.
When you're finished, the calendar will display all of your regular hours like normal (if you also have regular hours), but will BOLD the exceptions that you've entered.
Availability for Specific Hours & Start Times ⚓
If you'd like to set up specific start times for your appointments, there are two options:
First, head to scheduling limits to change the number you see in the "Display start times for appointments..." settings to the timing you would like to set for each appointment start time.
Your second option would be to go to Availability and list exact start times as a list , rather than a time range, for your availability. In this example you would enter in a list of exact start times: 9am, 9:30am, 11am, 12:30PM. That will look like this:
Holiday/Vacation Hours (or Block Off Time) ⚓
If you have a holiday or vacation coming up for which you need to take off time, you can block off time for the dates you plan to be closed!
- You can do this with the Block button, located above your main Appointment Calendar.
- Or, go to Availability Settings and scrolling down to the full calendar view > click on the days you want to be closed > and delete the hours from that day.
- The day will show as Closed on the calendar, and no appointments can be booked by the client from the Client's Scheduling Page.
- You can book from the admin side to override your blocked time settings.
- If you want to go back to your regular hours, click on the day marked Closed and click Switch back to regular hours...
You can learn more about blocking off time in your Acuity calendar here.
Setting Up a Temporary Schedule ⚓
If you need to create different hours seasonally, or for any temporary timeframe, you can do that, too.
- Head on over to your Availability & Calendars and click on one of your calendars to start.
- Scroll down to the Availability for Specific Days section at the bottom and click on the first date when you'd like for your summer hours to start.
For example, if you'd like for summer hours to begin May 15th, you'll click on that date in the calendar. You'll see a pop-up that includes a link for "Until end date..." Go ahead and click on that!
From there you'll be able to chose the last day of your summer hours. Go ahead and fill in your availability for each day of the week and click on the "Set Hours" button when you're finished.
Once the end date you specified passes, your hours will revert back to your regular weekly hours.
You can repeat these steps for your other calendar as well!
Alternate Weekly Hours⚓
Want to alternate weekly hours? We've got a magic wand for that, too. Click on into this article to find out how.
Limit the Number of Appointments Per Day, Per Week & Double Booking⚓
Want to limit the number of appointments per day and/or per week? You can set the max number of appointments you can accept each day and/or each week under Settings for each calendar in Availability & Calendars. This is also the area were you can opt to allow for double booking.
You'll have four choices to choose from in the dropdown
- Either to accept a number of appointments till you're fully booked
- Set a maximum amount of appointments you want to allow per day
- Set a maximum amount of appointments you want to allow per week
- Set a maximum amount of appointments you want to allow for each day and another maximum you want to allow for each week
Set Limits for Specific Appointment Types ⚓
You can also set this up per appointment type or grouping of appointment types, too. To do this, you'll want to dive into the magical realm of setting up your Availability by Appointment Type. You'll want to read this article for the complete lowdown on this feature!
You'll see the same settings to choose from for specific appointment types or groupings once you set up Availability by Appointment Type:
When you click (change), more settings will be revealed to set up your scheduling limits per type or grouping.
Limit How Far in Advance Appointments can be Scheduled⚓
Want to limit how far in advance clients can book? The minimum and maximum amount of time in advance clients are allowed to book can be set under Scheduling Limits. This is the lead time for appointments. You can set different lead times by calendar, or if you set different availability for different appointment types it can also be set per group of appointment types.
Complex Setups ⚓
Have a more complex setup, like 4 therapists who share rooms on certain days? Contact us and we can help walk you through getting set up.

Using real-time monitoring for rapid assessment of remediation strategy effectiveness
In this case study, designed to detect the distribution and direction of travel of an injected colloidal remediation agent, a predicted monitoring timeframe of 18 months was reduced to 3 months. This was possible by the innovative deployment of water quality sondes collecting high resolution turbidity data in real time. As a result, technical and cost-saving decisions on the effectiveness of the programme were made over a year earlier than expected.
14.15 - 14.45
Tony Thompson
After Grenfell – the renewed need for emergency preparedness
The fire at Grenfell Tower has demonstrated the need for effective emergency preparedness, and the importance of planning prior to an emergency, combined with realistic training and exercising to ensure those who respond are competent in their roles. The seminar will consider what needs to be done to provide reassurance to our communities that those organisations with statutory duties, are well prepared to help them before, during and after an emergency.
15.00 - 15.30
Goedele Verreydt
Intergrated Passive Flux Meaurement in Groundwater
The monitoring and management of groundwater flow is a challenge. iFLUX developed a groundwater monitoring solution to explore speed and direction of pollution flow underground over a certain period. Trustworthy flux results provide soil experts key insights to reduce the risk and uncertainty of soil contamination management. During this seminar we will present the added value of using flux results at several existing reference cases.
15.45 - 16.15
Philip Norville
Understanding UXO risk on your construction project
Every year the construction industry uncovers significant numbers of items of unexploded ordnance on projects. UXO is a known risk to construction projects and risk evaluation and appropriate mitigation should be undertaken. This seminar explains the difference between preliminary and detailed UXO risk assessments and when such reports should be commissioned. It also explains the recommendations these reports may make.

I certainly was not around to accept any. What's the latest version? If it's not been installed on my car how do I initiate the installation? Do I have to contact Tesla or can I do it myself?

Anti Wrinkle Treatments and Anti Wrinkle Injections Lake Macquarie NSW
Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation and anti–aging treatments for fine lines, wrinkles and instantly younger looking skin.
Eliminating wrinkles the non-surgical way has never been so easy…
We have a number of locations for wrinkle reduction clinics in Lake Macquarie NSW, including the Belmont, Kahibah, Toronto, Swansea, Redhead, Warners Bay, Ellebana, Valentine and Glendale NSW surrounding areas.
Anti Wrinkle Injections Lake Macquarie (Botox)
- Anti-wrinkle injections help to relax certain muscles in the face that cause wrinkles
- They are most frequently used on frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines to create a refreshed look
- They work after 7-14 days and last for 3-4 months
- They are a safe and effective means of reducing wrinkles
- Anti-wrinkle injections can be used together with dermal fillers to help treat both static and dynamic wrinkles
How Does it Work?
Anti-wrinkle injections treat wrinkles caused by the contraction of facial muscles. They inhibit the signals from the nerves to the muscle, and stop the muscle from contracting too much and forming wrinkles. For example, injections can be used to relax the muscles around the eyes to prevent the appearance of crow's feet.
It is important to note that anti-wrinkle injections do not immediately improve static lines (lines that are present at rest). However, usually over a number of anti-wrinkle treatments, the skin that is normally creased has time to rest and recover and an improvement in static lines is typically seen.
Where are Wrinkle Injections commonly used?
Anti-wrinkle injections are most commonly used for treatment of frowns, forehead lines, and crows feet (wrinkles at the sides of the eyes). Injections can also be used to produce a brow lift by shaping or elevating the position of the brow.
Is it Safe?
Yes, the doses used for cosmetic purposes are very low and with millions of patient treatments each year it has a proven safety track record with no long term side effects to cosmetic doses of wrinkle injections.
What's Involved in the Treatment?
The treatment process involves using a small number of extremely fine needles to inject a very small volume of protein. Pain and discomfort is minimal and a cold pack can be used if required. The procedure only takes a few minutes. And effects start to become noticeable within 2-3 days. Maximal beneficial effect occurs in 1-2 weeks.
Combining Wrinkle Injections with Dermal Fillers.
Often an even greater level of facial rejuvenation can be achieved when combining anti-wrinkle treatment with dermal fillers. Combination treatments such as this are often referred to as liquid facelifts.

fewer lines and wrinkles-and without unnatural facial changes
Tighter and Firmer Skin
How can laser help reduce wrinkles?
New laser technology actually breaks down facial lines and creases, and also helps to generate new skin. Which makes your face look younger, healthier and smoother.
Laser is a relatively new technology in the treatment of various skin problems. Prior to laser, frequently surgical or other more invasive techniques were used to treat the skin, resulting in long recovery periods or considerable dangers to the skin. Although laser is simply a specific and concentrated single wavelength of light, it's capable to induce strong changes and advancements in the skin with relatively low risk and downtime.
It can be used for the treatment of skin associated concerns, including unwanted hair growth, skin tightening, Lake Macquarie laser tattoo removal, scar reduction, vascular conditions, excessive or pigmentation issues, improving skin texture… and wrinkles.
Ablative fractional laser
These lasers can ablate (vapourise) a layer of skin and heat the skin to induce new collagen production and collagen reorganisation to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and improve skin texture. Laser wrinkle treatment delivers energy deep in to the skin layers, generating new skin that's smooth and even.
Wrinkles and skin texture
The treatment of wrinkles and skin texture usually requires the use of ablative lasers such as the erbium laser or the carbon dioxide laser. These machines enhance the look of wrinkles by 'resurfacing' the skin. The healing times for these treatments are typically 1 to 2 weeks. A layer of skin is vapourised from the skin surface, and heat energy is deposited into the skin. This causes reorganisation and regeneration of collagen fibres, resulting in the growth of new skin that's fewer wrinkles, enhanced texture and tightness.
Usually the outcomes realized from these are less critical than those realized from the aforementioned ablative lasers although there are quite a few 'no downtime' laser treatments that purport to improve wrinkles and skin texture. Multiple treatments with lasers such as the Medlite laser, can help with skin texture and wrinkles. These lasers also induce reorganisation and regeneration of collagen, but as they're non-ablative, they cause less harm to the skin and not as much subsequent advancement.
Common treatments include:
- Eye Wrinkles
- Frown lines
- Crow's feet
- Lipstick lines
- Facial wrinkles
- Perioral (mouth) wrinkles
Tight, voluminous skin is a defining attractiveness characteristic, and it is our specialty. We utilize the most advanced skin rejuvenation processes to firm your skin, add volume to your face and treat even or uneven skin tone enlarged pores. The advantages of anti-ageing laser treatments contain enhanced skin elasticity, firmness, strength and improved skin hydration. Simply speaking, you'll see a younger, more assured you.

Vietnamese historical sources record that the earliest kingdom in the area of what is today Vietnam, that of the Hùng kings, had a capital at a place called Phong Châu 峯州. This cannot possibly be true. To understand why, we need to learn about the second half of this name – Châu.
The term châu/zhou appears in many place names. When those place names were established, the term châu/zhou referred to an administrative unit. What is confusing, however, is that this term has not always referred to the same administrative unit over time.
The term châu/zhou was first used to describe the 9 territories which China was divided into in distant antiquity. During the period of the Zhou Dynasty this term was then used to designate an administrative unit of 2,500 families. Charles Hucker, in his A Dictionary of Official Titles in Imperial China, translates this as "township." From the Han to the Sui, Hucker says that châu/zhou came to designate a "region," that is, "a jurisdiction of intermediate coordination between the central government and a cluster of neighboring commanderies." Below commaneries you then had districts.
What then occurred during the period of the Sui Dynasty and into the early Tang was something very confusing. Regions (châu/zhou) were abolished, and then later, commanderies were renamed "châu/zhou," that is, the exact same term which had previously referred to "regions," an administrative unit above the level of commandery. Hucker translates "châu/zhou" at this point as "prefecture."
So from the Han to the Sui you have (from biggest to smallest) regions (州, châu/zhou), commanderies (郡, quận/jun), and then districts (縣, huyện/xian).
During the Tang you then have prefectures (châu/zhou) in place of the old commanderies, and districts (縣, huyện/xian).
So the term, châu/zhou, referred to different administrative units at different times. That can create problems in understanding what it refers to at different points in history. For example, the Sui established "Phong Region" while under the Tang there was a "Phong Prefecture," both of which were "Phong Châu."
There are, however, other problems with this term. Most Chinese place names consist of two characters. Then when you indicate the administrative unit which a place name refers to, you end up with three characters. So "Giao Chỉ/Jiaozhi Commandery" was 交趾郡 Jiaozhi jun/quận Giao Chỉ.
For some reason, however, the term châu/zhou was used differently. It was always combined with a single character. Therefore, you had names like Phong Châu and Guangzhou. Because these terms only consist of two characters, I think there has been a tendency to not translate châu/zhou, so that such place names will sound like other place names, like Giao Chỉ/Jiaozhi. However, if you do not translate châu/zhou, you lose specificity, and at times it is important to know that châu/zhou is referring to a specific administrative unit.
Yet one more problem is the fact that sometimes a name like "Phong Châu" was used to refer not to the entire region or prefecture, but to the administrative capital of that region or prefecture. And finally, sometimes you find writers in later centuries using these terms anachronistically.
So what should we do? One solution is to not translate châu/zhou. However, again, that creates problems when it is necessary to differentiate between châu/zhou and other administrative units at a given time.
In any case, to get back to the issue of Phong Châu as the supposed capital of the kingdom of the Hùng kings – first, such a capital would not have had such a clearly Chinese name. Second, the term "Phong Châu" does not predate the Sui Dynasty. That is when it was first used to indicate "Phong Prefecture." So the Hùng kings could not possibly have had a capital called Phong Châu.

Main Idea!!
Hoping to get this unit up on TpT soon....but had to share some fun pix from my observation this week. I did a big focus on main idea this week....which in first grade can sometimes be a challenging skill. We did A LOT with this this week including: starting small with ~tri-bond games (thinking how 3 things go together), matching houses to "Main Idea Street" if the house's supporting details matched the street sign/main idea, and reading books (of course) to find and agree upon the MI and supporting details. Of course we threw in the BrainPopjr movie too because we LOVE Annie and Moby!! The books I used for the most part this week were both on trees -- one narrative, one expository. The kids LOVED both. The nonfiction book we did first. We talked about the book as we went along and I did a lot of think alouds. At the end they wrote on a post it what they thought the MI was, and we discussed our answers together (and of course WHERE the author put the MI). Thursday I began to read the narrative....but stopped at the cliffhanger moment of the story so they could make predictions....and to peak their interest for the observation Friday ;). On Friday we did the main idea bags....but with the props in each bag I also gave each group sentences to match up to the items and then to a poster in order to see if they could discrim. between the m.i. and the details. Each group presented to the class. I then finished the book...which they loved....and then gave them their own (indep. practice) page where they had to sort out sentences from the story and glue them in the lapbook/folder I created for them. It was a great day, and I think the kiddos have a much better hold on Main Idea and supporting details now. I was SUPER proud of them ♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am feeling much better now too...after ~12 hours of sleep last night ;)!!!!!!!!!

On the heels of my post about talented American autistic Temple Grandin, a peek into the world of savants and synesthetes.
A savant (these days we leave off the politically incorrect modifier "idiot") is an intellectually disabled person who exhibits extraordinary ability in a highly specialized area, such as mathematics or music. Prodigious savants are often known for their instantaneous calculations - as depicted in "Rain Man," based on Kim Peek (1958-2009) - and their photographic memories.
A synesthete is a person who has a subjective sensation or image of a sense other than the one being stimulated. Over 60 types of synesthesia have been reported, with some of the most common variations listed below:
- letters or numbers are perceived as colors
- numbers or calendar items (days, months) elicit precise locations in space
- words (or parts of words) evoke tastes in the mouth
There are on-line communities for individuals with savant syndrome and synesthesia. Neatorama lists 10 fascinating savants and New Scientist discusses synesthetes who see time. Over the summer, Radio New Zealand interviewed a woman for whom numbers have distinct personalities. And early this year, the New York Times focused on a man who can track every nut and bolt in the family hardware store - without the use of a computer. Blessed with his unique abilities and the wherewithal to describe the way he experiences things, high-functioning British autistic Daniel Tammet (b. 1979) is both a savant and a synesthete.

TMC holds govt. responsible for repeated disruptions in Winter Session
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], Dec. 16 (ANI): As the month-long Winter Session appears to be headed for a virtual washout, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Friday lambasted the government for not having a clear and positive approach in the Parliament. TMC's Sudip Bandyopadhyay said the responsibility to run the Parliament belongs to the ruling party. "And at least the last three days what the ruling party performed was not desirable at all. It is bolt from the blue. But I am still of the opinion that if the government side would have been clear and positive in approach then this debate (on demonetisation) could have been concluded in the very first day of the session. The whole session would have passed in a very smooth way," he told ANI. The Winter Session of Parliament is ending today though the chaos continued to reign in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha yesterday following continuous uproar on issues such as demonetisation and Agusta Westland case. Both treasury and opposition benches traded charges on each other for continuous disruption. The fate of many important legislative bills are still stuck as they were listed for business but did not come up for discussion even once due to protests and sloganeering. The standoff between the treasury and opposition benches in both houses severely hit the legislative business of the month-long session. The Rajya Sabha which took up the discussion on demonetisation on first day of the session could not resume it yesterday following ruckus in the house. In the Lok Sabha, the members were not allowed to complete their speech on the issue by the agitated opposition. However amidst din, Payment of Wages Amendment bill was introduced in Lok Sabha. Parliament functioning in this session has dropped to a mere 17 per cent. At the beginning of the session, 19 bills were listed for consideration and passage but only one was passed by Parliament. Out of the nine bills listed for introduction, only three were introduced. (ANI)
