Photos have iPhoto. Music has iTunes. But when it comes to Documents, you're on your own. That is, until now.
Yep helps make important documents like receipts, medical records, income tax returns, bank statements and important letters more accessible. Often these documents are stored away in filing cabinets in a storage room, or crammed in desk drawers. MacUpdate loves Yep because it helps you scan these important documents into your Mac.

I like how it modified all my files without asking permission. THIS DID NOT IMPACT MY SYNCING SYSTEM AT ALL.
One day in the future I am going to hire a team of software developers, and we will make a software to compete with Yep (and other softwares) to be the ultimate PDF/ebook/audiobook/notation all-in-one software. So, Yep, you better fix your issues now, we're going to save your abused customers!
If you are a developer and want to be part of the team, contact me.
I manage a huge library of PDFs for a business, in the thousands. After extensive searching,Yep v1.8 was the best PDF manager app I have found to date. I tried upgrading to 2.0.3, and within 5 minutes I knew I hated it. Here is what v2 removed from 1.8
- Removed ability to open PDFs within Yep. Why??
- Removed Author field and column. Now I cant sort by author.
- 1.8 put tags in spotlight and description in description, but 2.0 put tags in keywords and description in spotlight.
- Removed ability to write Meta-Data (author tags description) to the PDF itself.
- Oversimplified the menu features.
- The new zoomed loupe is annoying.
- The details bar on the right is much worse.
The only v2 perk is that its much faster in thumbnail view for our large database.
I am very upset that the developer decided to remove or change some of the most important features in v2. Its obvious the developer does not have a large PDF library.
How ironic you are, Ironic Software...
The new version 2 of Yep is a huge step ... backward.
Yep now seems like a stripped-down version of Leap, Ironic Software's file manager. It actually lost the ability to view PDFs directly in the app, which is a complete deal-breaker for me, as I do not want to switch between two apps (Yep and Preview) to deal with PDFs. Yep also lost various preferences in the upgrade. I was fairly happy with Yep 1, and I'm now looking for a replacement. Shame on the developer for ruining such a nice app.
Great as a paperless filing system. With finding PDFs anywhere on my hard drive and tags, maintaining a file system is easy, painless, and fun. PDF is ubiquitous and the format will be around "forever" - I'm tired of not being able to open 5-20 yr old documents.
Used with Receiptwallet software, Fujitsu's ScanSnap scanner, going paperless is easy breezey
How does Yep differs from Leap (made by the same company)? Leap can also tag and show preview thumbnails of pdf files (it handles any kind of file).
NB: Leap is more expensive: 59$, vs. 34$ for Yep.
Sort and store / tag your PDF's as well as putting a button on Safari alowing you to take full web page shots and then storing them to your pdf library ! simple to use .
I Love this 1 big time
For all those using this for academic software it may be best to try Papers. It provides a much cleaner way of storing PDFs and makes things much easier to find in terms of science. Plus it has a whole bunch of other advantages.
This may just be the answer I've been after for receipts though...
Very, very useful. Especially for anyone who has a lot of journal articles and other research documents in pdf format. I am in the process of scanning 15+ years worth of paper articles that had previously languished uncatalogued (more or less) in filing cabinets. Once digitised and tagged within Yep they are infinitely more useful to me. Using tags I can actually retrieve and refer to articles that previously I might have forgotten I had.
While this is incredibly useful, be very, very careful when using this app. For no apparent reason, it dumped 641 of my PDFs, which I spent months gathering and organizing, into the trash, with no warning at all, even though I did set it to warn me before moving files to the trash.

December 18th, 2009
A late addition to the schedule, but one I'm very excited about: this weekend I'm heading to Juneau, Alaska for the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con on Saturday!
Lots of cartoonists are coming from across the US and Canada, including Ryan North, Kate Beaton, Kazu Kibuishi, Tony Cliff and many others. The event is headed up by Pat Race, whom longtime readers will remember as the official Wondermark correspondent to the World Beard & Mustache Championships 2009 in Anchorage.
It's a free show to attend (generously sponsored by many kind Juneau businesses) and I hope I get to meet some of you there on Saturday!
I just got back from the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, and here are a few favorites of the many Roll-a-Sketch drawings I made for folks there!
Roll-a-Sketch, as longtime readers know, is something I do at conventions and other appearances: folks can roll some dice to select random words from a list, and then I have the task of combining those words into a creature!
It's really fun for two reasons: (1) I never have to draw the same thing twice; and (2) the person commissioning the drawing has no say in what it becomes, and is sometimes even disappointed with the words that the dice choose for them — but nonetheless, they nearly always enjoy the result.
It's a good life lesson in accepting matters out of one's control, perhaps… as long as the person in whose control those matters are is me, and the matter's stakes are limited to a creature drawing.
Click any image for a closer look!
You can see how even when the prompts are similar, I try not to do the same drawing! (Here's another particularly grotesque example.)
Finally: are you ready for this one???
I would like to remind everyone that I am a professional comedy writer.
I also gave out some Roll-a-Sketch themed "Patron of the Arts" Cast Cards to folks in Seattle! I'll have these particular cards at all my conventions this year — and I'll probably do one brief online Roll-a-Sketch offering later toward the summer as well, for folks who can't make it out to a convention.
My next show will be Maker Faire in San Mateo, May 20-22!
If you will be attending Maker Faire, or are nearby in general, perhaps drop me a line — unlike at a comic convention, I don't really know anybody at Maker Faire or have any insight into the haps (despite attending the show for many years).
I would love to have breakfast or dinner or drinks with some cool folks while I'm in town! The social element is a big part of what makes these shows fun, and I'm overdue to figure that out at this one. (I'm also still nailing down lodging for that one, so I'm open to any local tips or suggestions.)
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hello at ECCC! It was lovely to see you all. And thanks especially to the gentleman and his kids who are fans as a family of Boom! And a Bear Comes Out (the party hit of the summer). There are few things better than hearing a very small child sing back to you the silly song that you wrote about a bear hiding in things and then coming out of them. Raffi, eat your heart out.
The following photograph has crossed my desk quite a bit recently:
In it, actor Oscar Isaac is pictured enjoying a bag of Cheetos with the aid of a pair of orange-stained chopsticks, his fingers pictured free of that same orange residuum.
I first came across the picture in this tweet, or one like it — I can't seem to find the "original," but this tweet links back to a Facebook page that is probably the source of the joke:
Hard at work for #StarWars Episode VIII (https://t.co/8Sc1UPrTgv) pic.twitter.com/Xa5XhUypw7
— Entertainment Earth (@EntEarth) April 4, 2016
As longtime readers know, I advocated what Mr. Isaac is practicing — specifically, using chopsticks to eat Cheetos — back in 2010, in Wondermark episode #601, "The Discovery that Changed the World".
I am certainly not the first person to have thought of it, and clearly I was not the last! However, I am very glad that this particular "life hack" has gained popularity, regardless of its provenance. It's simply a better way to live.
In the time since I published my version, I've had the pleasure of seeing the comic be spread far and wide. People post pictures of themselves eating Cheetos or popcorn or similar things, and hold up chopsticks, and tag me in the picture. And it's become one of only about a dozen specific comics whose episode number I remember by heart, since I am often asked for prints of it.
The basic idea came to me several years before I made the comic. In 2006, I was working at an ad agency in Beverly Hills. I believe I was editing TV spots for the James Franco movie Tristan & Isolde — either that, or the James Franco movie Flyboys. I forget which it was; I worked on both, for the same agency, a few months apart.
The easiest place to get lunch was a Bristol Farms supermarket a few blocks away. If you've never been to Bristol Farms, it's a sort of fancy, higher-end supermarket, similar to Whole Foods but without the sanctimony.
They had (or, presumably, still have) a sushi bar in that Bristol Farms. The experience of eating there inspired comic #171; In which Hiroshi misses the Point.
So, because of the sushi bar, there were always disposable chopsticks sitting out for the grabbin', and I made a sort of game of it, trying to see if I could eat my lunch with chopsticks every day, no matter what it was. (It was usually a panini, and so the answer was usually "not without some difficulty.")
Since I only had a brief period for lunch before I had to get back to hitting a keyboard with my fingers for hours, chopsticks quickly became the perfect tool to prolong the pleasure of a bag of Cheetos throughout the afternoon to come.
I don't know why it took me four years to make a comic about it. I do remember my producer in those days calling out what I was doing, and I think it took seeing more and more surprised reactions before I realized that maybe it wasn't 100% obvious to everyone that this was the best way to eat Cheetos. I had to come to the understanding that I'd made a discovery; I had experienced a revelation. (Similar to the time I accidentally came across a better salad fork.)
Once I actually made the comic, and I started to see that people were really responding to it, I briefly had the thought of contacting Frito-Lay and saying "Hey, maybe you could do a special thing, where you… I dunno, package chopsticks along with the bag? Or something? Is there any possible way that there could be money in this for me somehow?"
The pitch wasn't really more refined than that, so you will not be surprised to learn it was never successful.
But every now and then, moments like Oscar Isaac, here, reassure me that word is indeed getting out, and lives are indeed being improved, one orange-stained chopstick at a time.
I don't know if Mr. Isaac has ever seen the original comic; I'm sure the idea came to him via tenth-hand means, or perhaps he thought of it himself. But I am incredibly gratified to see that the idea is out there, and that it's becoming obvious.
Does Frito-Lay know the secret? Surely they must have heard by now. Here is what seals the deal for me: A TV commercial from 2011, showing Chester Cheetah playing terrible piano with a lady in a piano shop.
They are playing — of course — "Chopsticks."

Just a few days ago we talked about the debut of Glimpse, a social media–fueled dating app. But guess what? There's yet another one on the scene. Willow, out this week, encourages you to do something kind of unique in the digital courting world: hold a conversation. Instead of swiping through profile pictures and interest pages, you'll browse questions that other users have posted and send them replies.
Personally, I like the idea. And after trying out my fair share of these apps, I'm thinking Willow just might be "the one" (to finally find me a decent date).

A delegation of Illinois Health and Policy officials will travel to Canada Tuesday to evaluate its prescription drug system.
The trip is part of a study Gov. Rod Blagojevich requested. He wants to determine the merits of letting state employees and senior citizens buy drugs from Canadian companies to cut state medical costs.
Blagojevich last month proposed that Illinois should consider importing drugs from Canada to take advantage of much lower prices there.
But federal law prevents bringing foreign drugs into the country.

The ryō (両) is the currency used in the Naruto world. It is based on an old Japanese gold coin that was used in Japan before the Meiji period. It was later replaced by the Yen. The exchange rate of a ryō is 10 yen.[1]
Although money isn't focused on much in the story, certain prices and sums of money have been mentioned. For example, Asuma Sarutobi has a bounty of 35,000,000 ryō, five million ryō more than his fellow former Guardian Ninja, Chiriku.[2] Shinobi usually earn their money from completing missions. The rewards for these range from 5,000 ryō for a D-rank mission to more than 1,000,000 ryō for an S-rank mission. In the anime, Utakata has been given a bounty of 5,000,000 ryō for his defection from Kirigakure.[3]

I Wear The Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman
I recently reaf The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski (inspiration for the Witcher games.) This was a collection of fantasy short stories about The Witcher, I really enjoyed it. So much so that I bought the Blood of Elves, same character but more your usual long-form fantasy. I didn't finish the first chapter, it had certain fantasy first chapter tropes that grate me. I do plan on returning to it at some point, I know its just a matter of getting past the first chapter.
Currently reading Consider Phlebas, the first book in the Culture series. I don't read much modern sci-fi, but I'm loving it so far. Highly recommend.
I am half-way through Perfect Rigor: A Genius and the Mathematical Breakthrough of the Century.
Finished The Beach by Alex Garland the other day. A great book, a lot better than the film.
I'm now about half-way through I am Legend by Richard Matheson. Enjoying it so far.
I wanna see movies of my dreams
Just finished Supernova "Akar" by Dewi Lestari
very inspirational book
Iain M. Banks - The Wasp Factory. Pretty good so far. I had trouble buying into the voice for the first chapter for whatever reason - it's unusual for me to have that problem. Things are good now though.
Lewis Hyde - Trickster Makes This World - A pretty detailed approach to the trickster mythologies around the world and the kinds of cultural work that they do. It's pretty cool to have the author go through and engage with trickster origin myths and bring them forward into the realm of art and imagination. Overall it's a bit structuralist for my taste, and it occasionally feels like Hyde is reaching a bit but I am still very much enjoying it.
Alexander Pushkin - Dubrovsky. I hated it. It's noteworthy because of Pushkin's influence, but it's also a lot like reading Wilkie Collins' The Moonstone or looking at the Mona Lisa. You've seen the structures that it laid down done so many times since that there's no way to truly appreciate what a leap forward it was.

Be that as it may, I should never have thought that a colleague could possibly recommend, let alone lend me a book that is right up my alley. I could never have imagined that in a thousand years. And I still cannot believe it*, although I've held the book in my own two hands. I actually expected pornography after reading up a little on Schnitzler on wikipedia, but turns out it's excessively delicate in tone.
I lent him Flowers for Algie to return the favour. There's more porn in that one, and I was a little let down. I don't like descriptions of sex, I think sex ought only to be hinted at. I prefer J.H. Chases' thrillers that way.
* That remark was very unfair of me, as another colleague (now gone to sunnier climes) actually bought me Lord of the Flies, which novel stands in my pantheon of books.

Administration Building Named for Alumni
Administration Building Named for Alumni
Contact: Joanna Klimaski
One of Fordham's most stately structures has officially received a new name, honoring an alumnus and benefactor who has been part of the Fordham community for nearly seven decades.
The Administration Building, located in the heart of Fordham's 85-acre Rose Hill campus, was officially renamed Cunniffe House during a ceremony held at the historic manor house on Dec. 4. The building, which houses the office of Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, and other administrative offices, was named for alumnus and trustee emeritus Maurice J. Cunniffe, FCRH '54.

"I have had the great pleasure of knowing Mo Cunniffe for more than two decades," said Father McShane. "He is a man of both great accomplishments and great humility. In naming the administration building Cunniffe House, we not only acknowledge Mo's and [wife] Carolyn's great generosity and service to Fordham, but their integrity and steadfastness. It is very much Fordham's honor to be associated with their name in this public way."
Members of the Board of Trustees, trustee emeriti, trustee fellows, building staff, and other Fordham administrators opened the ceremony just outside the Administration Building at the newly built fountain, which was christened the Carolyn Dursi Cunniffe Fountain, after Cunniffe's wife Carolyn Dursi Cunniffe, Ph.D., GSAS '71.
"It's an incredible juncture that is marked by this fountain," said Monsignor Joseph G. Quinn, vice president for University mission and ministry, who offered a benediction. "It is placed between Hughes and Dealy Halls, in front of Keating, and looks upon an iconic center of the long-term history of Fordham—the original manor, known for the longest time as the Administration Building, but which today, thanks to the Cunniffes, takes on a whole new name."
During the ceremony, Father McShane and the Cunniffes unveiled a portrait of Mo Cunniffe painted by artist Mark Hess. The portrait now hangs at the western entrance of the building, near the "historic doors through which people will pass, as they have for more than a century, to support and aid the noble mission of Fordham," said Msgr. Quinn.

"If there is one couple that typifies the warmth, decency, and generosity of the Fordham Family, it is Mo and Carolyn," said Roger A. Milici, Jr., vice president for development and University relations. "I have been the beneficiary of their wisdom and friendship from my first day here. They helped make Fordham a welcoming place for me, and by bestowing their name on Cunniffe House, they make the University a more welcoming place for all."
Cunniffe was a 2010 recipient of the Fordham Founder's Award, which recognizes members of the University community whose support has been extraordinary. The chairman and chief executive officer at Vista Capital Corporation served as a trustee for both the University and Fordham Preparatory School, of which he is a 1950 graduate. During his eight-year tenure as a trustee, the University saw such transformative events as the launch of its
Excelsior | Ever Upward | The Campaign for Fordham
, a $500 million capital campaign designed to bring Fordham into new era of preeminence.
Cunniffe said that his gift to Fordham not only pays tribute to his family's legacy (his nephew is a 1993 graduate of Fordham Prep, and his grandson is a senior in the Gabelli School of Business,) but also recognizes and supports the place that has been like a home for nearly his entire life.
"It's in my bones," Cunniffe said. "I had lived within walking distance of Fordham, and then I started the Prep in 1946. But I'd played on the campus even before that. So in some ways, I've been hanging around Fordham my whole life."
Much about the campus has changed since his days of studying Latin, Greek, and physics at the University, Cunniffe said. For one thing, the bricks and mortar on campus today were largely nothing more than trees and turf.
"There were no buildings between the front gate and Duane Library. Residence halls such as Campbell, Salice, and Conley, and even the library weren't there. It was just green," he said.
Nevertheless, the building that will bear Cunniffe's name was a centerpiece even on the campus Cunniffe knew, as it is one of the oldest buildings at Rose Hill. Built between 1836 and 1838, the building has stood throughout Fordham's evolution into the institution that it is today. The Greek revival manor house sprang up right before Rose Hill transitioned from Fordham manor—the property granted to John Archer in 1671 by the British royal governor of New York—to St. John's College. New York's Archbishop John Hughes purchased the property in 1841 to establish what would become today's Fordham University.
Now, Cunniffe hopes that the newly dubbed Cunniffe House will continue to see transformations for the better.
"Fordham is aspiring to not just do a competent job, but to become a first-class institution," Cunniffe said. "Fordham will continue to get better, but that doesn't change overnight—it changes over time."

Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.
Members of the Board of Trustees, trustee emeriti, trustee fellows, building staff, and Fordham faculty and administrators don special "Cunniffe House" scarves for theoccassion.

ATLANTA (WXIA) -- A metro Atlanta woman who delayed her cancer treatment so she could see Chipper Jones play one last time, will be going to the Wild Card game Friday night.
The Braves have given Laura Stallings two tickets to the game, after hearing about her story from 11Alive. The Braves already knew of Laura from the now famous photo of her holding up a poster that read "I skipped chemo to see Chipper."
For two days, her identity remained a mystery, as sports blogs around the country aired the photo, that was taken by a fellow fan and retweeted by the Braves.
"He's always been my favorite," said Stallings, who loves Chipper Jones.
A star softball player at Wheeler High School in Cobb County, she dreamed of playing with him. "Everybody told me I hit like him."
Now 23 years old, Laura is battling stage four kidney cancer that has not responded to treatment. But she wanted to see Chipper one last time.
"I put something on Facebook jokingly, that we couldn't really afford tickets but we really wanted to go" she said.
A friend from church bought her two tickets. Laura delayed her chemo treatment for the week so she would be well enough to go.
"All I wanted to do was be on the big screen and see if Chipper saw it," she said.
Laura made the big screen, holding her poster that said "I skipped chemo to see Chipper." A fellow fan also took a photo and it exploded on social media, was retweeted by the Braves, and seen, talked and written about around the country.
"It was kind of a miracle day for me," Laura said. "I'm glad it got captured because I just wanted to remember it, to keep it by the bed and know that was one of the best days to help me keep going."
At the age of 23 Laura's dreams are to live, to beat the cancer. And because of a photo, there are more people than ever pulling for her.
"People I don't know telling me they hope I'm doing O.K. and their prayers are with us," she said. "That's what counts the most."

Eight countries have confirmed to compete at next month's international netball championship to be staged in Dar es Salaam, the acting secretary general of the netball association (CHANETA) Rose Mkisi revealed yesterday.
The continental championship has been sanctioned by International Netball Federation (IFNA)
Mkisi said the closing date for team to submit applications for the tourney is at the end of the month while she remained optimistic ore would register.
So far missing in the line-up are South Africa, Botswana and Kenya. She named the countries which have confirmed to compete as Malawi, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, Uganda and the host nation.
However, Mkisi downplayed fears that late confirmation would affect preparations of the event which she said are in the right track.
"The door is still wide open for countries to confirm participation at the tournament and its our hope that many countries will rush for eleventh hour registrations", she said.
Underlining on the preparations for the tournament, she said every thing is going smoothly and that the national team players were released for the Easter holidays and expected to report back into the camp today.
She said the Zanzibar netball national team players has not yet joined camp at Kibaha, but officials of the team promised to release players and join the camp later this week.

Beauxbatons Academy of Magic
this wiki
Beauxbatons Academy of Magic is a Wizarding school located in the Palace of Beauxbatons near the city of Cannes in southern France.[1] Beauxbatons's current Headmistress is Madame Olympe Maxime. The school Coat of Arms is two golden wands crossed over one another, each shooting three stars. The name provided here is presumably an Anglicised version of a French original.
The SchoolBeauxbatons is similar to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Academy has existed for over seven hundred years. During the 1994–1995 school year, a delegation of senior Beauxbatons students and their Headmistress stayed near Hogwarts Castle in Scotland to participate in a new Triwizard Tournament. The group arrived in a pastel blue coach pulled by twelve huge, winged horses. The carriage door was embossed with the golden coat of arms and opened to reveal golden steps. The horses also were golden-coloured, with red eyes, and fed on single-malt whiskey. The Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid took care of the winged horses. From October until the end of the school year, the entire delegation stayed on Hogwarts grounds, sleeping and presumably studying inside the coach, and eating in the Hogwarts Great Hall. The school champion was Fleur Delacour, who was unsuccessful in her challenge for the Triwizard Cup.
The Palace
The Academy is a glittering palace, most probably newer and brighter than the Hogwarts castle. Both Hogwarts and Durmstrang are in castles; however, Fleur Delacour described Beauxbatons as a palace. The food at Beauxbatons, at least according to Fleur, is delicious, but much lighter than the food served at Hogwarts. Students are serenaded while they dine by choirs of wood nymphs. At Christmas time the dining hall is adorned with great, non-melting ice sculptures. Beauxbatons is Unplottable, so no Muggles or even wizards from rival schools can find it on a map, and then it is disguised so that no one can really see it unless they know to look for it.
Some have speculated that since bouillabaisse was served at the opening feast of the Triwizard Tournament, and this fish soup is generally served in south-east France, Beauxbatons could be somewhere on the Mediterranean coast, perhaps near Marseille. Also, Hagrid tells Harry, Hermione and Ron that he pretended to go towards Beauxbatons to shake off followers (while going to find giants), then told Professor Umbridge that he had been in southern France.
This would also explain why Beauxbatons students are so cold when they are at Hogwarts. Beauxbatons uniforms are made of light blue silk. Other indicators are perceived accents and the confirmed ethnicity of student Fleur Delacour. For example, Fleur says "ze" instead of "the" which is commonplace for French people speaking English.
Beauxbatons students stand at attention from when their Headmistress enters the room until she seats herself. They also seem to care more about their studies and their school's reputation than Hogwarts.
According to Fleur Delacour, Beauxbatons students take their exams (presumably comparable to O.W.L.s at Hogwarts) after six years of study instead of five.
Known students
- Fleur Delacour - Triwizard Champion of Beauxbatons during the Triwizard Tournament in 1994.
- Gabrielle Delacour - Fleur Delacour's younger sister.
- Unidentified Headteacher of Beauxbatons - attended Triwizard Tournament of 1792
- Olympe Maxime - Headmistress of Beauxbatons
- Various other students
- Ministry Witch[2]
Beauxbatons was likely devised from the French "beaux bâtons," literally translated as "beautiful sticks"; however in French the word "bâton" is also used to mean "wand."
Behind the scenes
- Only three residents of Beauxbatons have been named, and coincidentally, all three are some form of Half-breed.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Beauxbatons appears to be an all-girl school. However, the book makes scattered references to male Beauxbatons students.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Beauxbatons is pronounced wrong. Dumbledore says boh-BAT-tons, but in reality, if Beauxbatons is a French school, it would be pronounced BOH-bat-tons. This appears to be an error of pronunciation on Dumbledore's behalf, seeing as the French students pronounce it correctly. In the UK audiobook edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the pronunciation sounds even more French, as Stephen Fry does not pronouce the S at the end of the word.
- In the movie, the Beauxbatons Coat of Arms is a shield surrounded by golden lines whereas in the book it is two crossed wands emitting three stars each. However, these wands can be seen at the top of the film-version Coat of Arms.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire it is said that Gabrielle Delacour is already a Beauxbatons student, but in the book of Deathly Hallows, it is said Gabrielle is eleven, so she would be starting the year to come. It is also possible, though, that Beauxbatons starts earlier than Hogwarts, since it is an individual school with many differences when compared to Hogwarts.

- "A friend of mine in here tells me that a close friend of yours, a girl you've been spending a lot of time with recently, swept her clean off her feet. Yeah, her old boyfriend wants her back."
- ―Gerald McReary.
She's a Keeper is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV for Gerald McReary. Building off the earlier mission, and over the watched prison phone, Gerald tells Niko Bellic in code to move their prisoner Gracie Ancelotti from Leftwood to a different safehouse in Northwood, Algonquin, because the Ancelotti Family has finally tracked her down and is coming to save her.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the safehouse
- The Ancelottis are on to you, get to the safehouse quickly
- Now take Gracie to the safehouse
Once you reach the old safehouse -- the same one that appeared when you kidnapped and took a photo of Gracie -- Gordon Sargent will throw her in the car and tell you to move her to Northwood. During the ride, the Ancelottis are chasing Niko with guns blazing. This mission requires some finesse behind the wheel; If Niko drives too recklessly, Gracie will break her neck and the mission fails. If Niko drives too slowly, the Ancelottis will accidentally shoot her and the mission fails. During the mission, Niko can hear Gracie screaming in the trunk. If she stops screaming, she may be dead. The player can, use drive-by method to defend himself and Gracie, particularly aiming Ancelotti's head. Drive carefully to the new safehouse. An alternate starting route allows Niko to get a head start on the Ancelottis. To use this shortcut, take a dirt road on the left, just past the garages, as Niko starts out. This shortcut will allow Niko to arrive at the freeway before the Ancelottis, and avoid the majority of the pursuing cars. After Niko and Gracie safely arrive at the new safehouse, Packie McReary comes out to watch Gracie, saying that Kate is doing Ma's duties, and the mission is complete.
Niko can also get out of the cars and shoot through the cars (by first shooting the drivers then killing all the others in the cars) to eliminate the pursuing Ancelotti's, but it's easier and less time-consuming to simply outrun them.
Niko can also call Dwayne to send his goons to provode backup fire for Niko.
Video Walkthrough
- The mission is evidently linked to a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony, "Ladies' Night", when Luis Fernando Lopez tracks down Gracie's whereabouts by following Patrick McReary's car from Meadows Park to the hostage's hideout in Leftwood, and then passing the information to the Ancelottis. What is left to be rather mysterious is why Luis wasn't sent to retrieve Gracie.
- Gordon states that Gracie bit him when he was forcing Gracie into the car, but this is nearly impossible since firstly his hands were nowhere near her mouth at the time and secondly she had a gag in her mouth.
- Either completing or failing the mission, the player can steal a unique Vincent, a LX2007 with a dark green paint-job.
- The player can find the dirt path that starts just past the garages on the left. This takes down a hill, then left onto a sidewalk running alongside the freeway. Veer full speed onto the freeway to avoid three carloads of Ancelottis, who are waiting at the first intersection if the player follow the original yellow GPS route. The shortcut leaves only two Ancelotti cars to deal with, giving you (and Gracie) a better chance of survival.
- You will be chased by a few Sentinel XS, some of them have the standard black/green paintjob but some also has a unique black/red paintjob. However, trying to steal one will cause you to fail the mission.
- After you complete the mission, if the player goes back to the car, Gracie will not be seen in the trunk.
- Also after finishing this mission, the player cannot do friend activities with Packie until the following mission has been completed.
- This is the final appearance of Gordon Sargent.
- If you kill Gracie and still make it to the rendevous, there will be an alternate scene. Packie will say that Gracie's neck broke and will tell Niko to control his driving.

Kids-play with Scale
Posted by Miriam | Filed under Musings
So awkwardly enough, I've had 'Scale' in my to-write-about file for over a month now and as I indicated in this post earlier this week, one of my favorite ways to play with scale is to include a very large sized print in a small space. Low and behold, this fantastic space has been all over the shelter blogs recently. The large scale animal wall paper is whimsical on its own, but taken to an even larger extreme, the wall paper becomes a statement.
While playing with scale sometimes means literally taking something and messing with its natural proportions, it can also refer to the symmetry of all of the items in a space together. For instance, in the vignette below, every piece is generally on the same scale, and when paired with the wainscoting which serves to draw the eye downward, the scale of the pieces together as a whole create a more cozy nook.
But check it out again when we pan out to see the whole room…
Turns out that table isn't a dresser, it's a night stand! And the chair is a kids chair!! But because within the context of the original photo everything was the same scale, our eyes and minds fooled us into thinking they were larger pieces.
This space (and correct me if I'm wrong..but are those some FLOR tiles I spy?) is a beautiful example of how consistent scale in a room can truly create harmony. Everything from the crib, to the leggy chair, stool and dresser combine to fill the space with symmetry in a cheery, cohesive way.
Of course, scale can literally be represented in designing spaces intentionally for children. This reading nook uses two slender bookcases that offset the junior-sized chair beautifully.
Perhaps the most functional purpose of scale in children's design can be credited to the Montessori method where there is a heavy suggestion of scaling everything a child will use to their size…from the bed to the bookcases to the desk and mirror. This space from SewLiberated is the quintessential study in scale for children's rooms.
Lastly, before we leave the subject of scale, I have these two examples of home organization areas. Both are designed with kids in mind, one on a grand scale…
…the other on a smaller scale.
Both are functional. Both are whimsical. Both make a statement. Both are beautiful. Which just goes to prove that you can do anything with scale so long as your form and function are balanced.

"The truthiest truther offering the truth."
"The only reason I'm fat is because the Illuminati put too much aspartame in my doughnuts."
Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is best known for bringing you key info on the Corporate Globalist Eugenics takeover of the world by a Scientific Dictatorship live from his Central Texas command centre deep behind enemy lines and shattering the false Left/Right Paradigm. Everything he says is backed up directly by the Globalist's own documents, and stuff he found on Google (itself an admitted CIA front).
His comedy radio show consists of him making fun of the peon masses, predicting catastrophes, taking his shirt off from time to time, and yelling. Between these diatribes, he hawks survival goods to listeners in exchange for blood pressure medication.
In the very rare moments when he is not leading Free Humanity in the Info War, he is also supplements his income as a male model and porn star. Making regular appearances in publications such as Husky Hogs and Meat Magazine, both aimed at the fetish market of readers attracted solely to pork butchers. (Charlie Sheen went through something similar, with David Icke and everyone ended up wondering what had happened to that guy from Two And a Half Men And a Young Boy.)
What? Who the hell is Alex Jones?
Alex Jones was born on the eleventh day of February, nineteen-seventy-four, the son of Jim Jones, and the only baby to survive Jonestown. As a child, he was pushed into a vat of Jesus Juice, which permanently wielded a bull horn onto the front of his face (This is admitted fact, it's all admitted!). All pictures of Alex Jones which do not contain bull horns dated after this event can be assumed to be fakes.
In addition to the above and his noted pornographic career, he is also:
- An Illuminati shill working on the minds of the masses using careful gatekeeping of his broadcasts whilst generating lists of suspicious Americans for the use of the Homeland Security Department.
- One of the greatest men ever to set foot on the planet, on a par with Buddha or Jesus or Shaquille O'Neal.
- A fat bastard who sells DVDs, gold coins, Expensive Pot Noodles and water purification systems that are worthless in order to pad his bank account. We've got the documents.
His lives deep behind enemy lines in his Central Texas Command Centre from where he broadcasts his daily Radio-Internet-TV-MulticastTM. The Centre is notable for its massive stores of pork produce, non-GM seeds and thousands of unsold copies of The Obama Deception, fashioned into a makeshift throne.
Alex Jones advocates the creation of a one-world Neo-Ron-Paulian crypto-quasi-pseudo-theocracy in which all far-right, heterosexual, baptists (who can prove that they have killed at least one Mexican deader than a hammer) will be afforded the freedom to agree with everything that he says, does or thinks. Alex Jones suggests that the name: "New Global Order of Alexonia" to be used for the name of the new Thousand Year Reich, as he lovingly calls it. Alex Jones also well known as a major figure in the recently formed Church of Gary Busey, frequently taking time to conduct, as well as attend the masses held in honour of his beloved object of lust and veneration.
Superpowers and claims of invincibility
It is said that ideas are bulletproof, and so is Alex Jones. In fact, at the age of 12, Alex Jones was entirely coated with a dense layer of nanotech fat, called "Techfat", created with a synthesis of colloidal silver and the elusive compound called "marshmallow", developed by Illuminati scientists at DARPA in an attempt to create a "Super globalist shill". A rag-tag team of Christian libertarians successfully broke into the secret underground labs in Texas to save and evangelize him, only to get all shot in the result... but Jones made his way out and went under the radar for years. Alone, naked with only the Holy Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other, he set out on his quest to save the world from the bankers.
The Techfat TM grants him resistance to projectiles from virtually all firearms as well as explosions up to 1 Megaton. It rendered the multiple attempts by many CIA snipers and mercenaries -as well as several bombings of his radio station by NATO drone fighter jets- completely useless, hence why he still broadcasts after all these years exposing the Illuminati. This also makes him impervious to Whoopi Goldberg, even though Barbara Walters once owned him real bad, but she was proper enough for giving him a bone to chew as a consolation for his battered ego.
This Techfat exoskeleton even allowed him to survive for almost 2 minutes of interview with Chuck Norris, as the studio went through a power surge and a lot of stuff exploded. This is when Norris arrived. After a moment of mind-boggling speech in a language that could not be grasped by any mortal born from a womb, the universal karate fighter told Jones how, in 1884, he killed God with his own bare hands (Friedrich Nietzsche stood as the sole witness), to the sheer disarray of Jones, then conceded he had better adversaries to take down this morning, namely the entire global network of the Italian-American Cosa Nostra and their armies. This is what he called "having breakfast". He was later reported to pick his teeth with the dead-frozen body of Manhattan kingpin Robert de Niro.
Alex Jones was additionally implanted with a radio-transmitting device powered by his overactive brain that allows him to takeover any FM/AM/Shortwave bands wherever he goes so that he can jam radio transmissions to shout his orders to stand up to the global bankers, to either disgruntled guys caught in hours-long traffic jams or these lipstick lesbians having wild sex by the pool.
He was awarded the psychological health award for outstanding sanity in the face of adversity by the American Association of Mental Health Professionals Against the New World Order on September 11, 2001. He subsequently declined to accept the award, citing his belief that the organization was a front for Satan Worshiping Illuminati working in close association with the Bilderberg Group, to hypnotize their patients into believing that their recovered memories of Satanic Cult abuse are actually an elaborate screen implanted by Grey Aliens to cover their tracks.

Swap caps-lock and control keys using MS Windows Registry
this wiki
created October 29, 2002 · complexity basic · author Jacques Petit · version 5.7
On Windows systems, you can edit the registry to change the code produced when a key is pressed. This tip shows how to change the keyboard layout so that the CapsLock key acts as a Ctrl key.
Replacing CapsLock with Ctrl
Place the following text into a text file with the extension *.reg and update your registry by double-clicking the file:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
You will probably need to reboot your machine for this system change to take effect.
Creating an undo registry file
The verified way to reverse this setting is to delete the new scan codes key that was added.
(tested this on one of my machines)
Swapping keys rather than replacing CapsLock
The registry entry above sets CapsLock to Ctrl. The following registry entry swaps the CapsLock and Ctrl keys on your keyboard. Useful if you sometimes use CapsLock.
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,3a,00,1d,00,00,00,00,00
Setting the key layout for the current user
If the machine has multiple users who might not like the new layout, instead of using [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\....] you can specify [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout]. This will make the changes for one user account only. Additionally, simply logging off and back on will apply the changes (no need to reboot).
Some explanation is here.

Spider bites are usually harmless. In fact, many bites attributed to spiders turn out to have been inflicted by other bugs. Skin infections also have been mistaken for spider bites.
Only a few types of spiders have fangs long enough to penetrate human skin and venom strong enough to severely affect a human being. In the U.S., these include the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider.
Black widow spider bites can cause severe abdominal pain and cramping, while brown recluse spider bites can cause the skin around the bite to die. Both these spiders generally live in undisturbed areas, such as attics or sheds, and don't bite unless threatened.

Seine River
Seine in central Paris, looking downstream. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Seine River, often termed simply the Seine, is the second longest river in France after the Loire, extending a length of 776 kilometres (482 miles) before discharging to the English Channel near L'Havre. It flows through the capital city of Paris.
The preponderance of the Seine Basin is considerably disturbed by human activities, especially agriculture, leading to degradation of water quality and adverse impacts to both terrestrial and aquatic species in the basin.
Extensive navigational use of the Seine has been made since ancient times, clearly evidenced by early Gauls and Romans; its navigational value was not lost on the invading Danish Vikings, who had advanced considerably upriver by the late ninth century AD.
Marne River, a tributary of the Upper Seine. Source: Paul Cezanne. 1888 The Seine has a basin area of approximately 78,650 square kilometres, and drains a portion of Belgium as well as France.
The river rises near Dijon in Burgundy. Chief tributaries of the Seine include the Aisne, Aube, Barse, Eure, Orge, Yvette, Loing, Marne, Oise, Epte, Risle and Yonne.
Historically the Seine has been viewed to have four chief reaches:
- the Little Seine encompasses headwaters downriver to the confluence with the Yonne;
- the Upper Seine continues the course and spans the distance from Montereau to Paris, not quite reaching the point of confluence with the Marne;
- the Lower Seine extends from Paris to St. Aubin, the lower point being the limit of tidal influence; and finally,
- the Tidal Seine extends from St. Aubin to the English Channel.
The Marne and Yonne exhibit the greatest torrential flows, due to the percentage of their courses underlain by impermeable strata, in combination with the river gradients. Although the Loing manifests the highest percentage of impermeable strata of all the tributaries, its low gradient mitigates against torrential velocities. Thus the majority of the Seine and its tributaries exhibit a relaxed generally even flow rate.

Water quality
Seine water pollutant loads of heavy metals, nutrients, sediment and bacteria are relatively high, especially influnced by wastewater and surface runoff from Paris and its suburbs. Parisian pollutant loadings are noted to be particularly high during periods of high rainfall, not only due to high runoff, but also from the inadequate sewage treatment facilities in periods of high combined wastewater/stormwater flow.
Heavy metal concentrations at Poses weir reveal the following levels: copper, 1.9 milligrams per liter; cadmium, 32 mg/l; and lead, 456 mg/l. Concentrations of zinc are also quite high, making the Seine Estuary one of the most highly contaminated estuaries in the world with respect especially to lead and cadmium. Significant amounts of toxic pollutants are also attached to sediments deposited in the Seine during the last two centuries, including mercury, nickel, chromium, toluene, DDT and a variety of herbicides and pesticides.
Downriver from Paris, significant quantites of ammonium are discharged into the Seine from effluent of the Achères wastewater treatment plant.
Aquatic biota
Northern pike, one of the larger fish in the Seine. @ Karel Jakubec There are a total of 37 fish species inhabiting the Seine, and another two taxa that are known to have been extirpated in modern times. Two of the largest aquatic fauna known to have lived in the Seine are now locally extinct: the 500 centimeter (cm) long sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) and the 83 cm long allis shad (Alosa alosa).
The largest extant native demersal (species living on or near the river bottom) taxa in the Seine are:
- the 133 cm European eel (Anguilla anguilla);
- the 150 cm northern pike (Esox lucius);
- the 120 cm sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus); and,
- the 152 cm Burbot (Lota lota).
The largest bentho-pelagic species occurring in the Seine are:
- the introduced 105 cm silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix);
- the native 120 cm barbel (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix);
- the native 150 cm Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); and,
- the native 500 cm Wels catfish (Silurus glanis).
There are several extant native pelagic-neritic (coastal brackish) fish species in the Seine:
- the 73 cm long twaite shad (Alosa fallax);
- the 59 cm golden grey mullet (Liza aurata);
- the 171 cm sea trout (Salmo trutta trutta); and,
- the 45 cm European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus).
Terrestrial ecoregions
The ecoregion encompassing the lower Seine catchment area is known as the Atlantic mixed forests. The mammalian fauna of this ecoregion is chiefly composed of species widely occurring in Europe: red deer (Cervus elaphus), fallow deer (Dama dama), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), badger (Meles meles), stone marten (Martes foina), and pine marten (Martes martes). Several of the mammals found in the ecoregion are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List, including European otter (Lutra lutra), European mink (Mustela lutreola), and several taxa of bat (Rhinolophus euryale, R. hipposideros, Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis bechsteini, M. dasycneme, and M. emarginatus).
The upper Seine watershed is occupied by the Western European broadleaf forests ecoregion, found through the middle of France. Warm, moist air from the Atlantic Ocean dominates this inland ecoregion. Small mountains (all less than 1500 meters), hills, and valleys occur throughout the area. Yearly temperatures are steady, precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, and frosts occur for one to three months. This ecoregion exhibits notable bird populations, but most of the larger mammals are in decline and have been extirpated from many areas. Throughout this ecoregion, the landscape is dominated by urbanization and agriculture, including vineyards and other monocultural plantings. Most tributaries of the Seine have been altered for use in irrigation, and many valleys are flooded by dams constructed for increasing power and water supplies.
The Seine Basin was one of the earliest parts of Europe inhabited by hominids, with stone tools being recovered from the era of 500,000 to 200,000 years before present. Some of these artefacts, oftern termed Abbevillian, derive from Chelles, a present day suburb of Paris along the Seine. These early tools are attributed to Neanderthal ancestors, rather than Homo sapiens.
Regional map depicting the Seine, with appellations of the Roman era. Before Roman times the Seine was used by the Gauls for navigation as well as a settlement locus. In the year 52 BC Julius Caesar led the Roman army to a defeat of King Vercingetorix of the Gauls at Alesia; in that same year, the Romans established the colony of Leuticia on an island in the Seine (Ile de la Cita). There are extant labyrinthine ruins of Leuticia readily viewable today. The Roman name for the Seine was Sequana, a river that flowed through the Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis. Danish Vikings used the Seine for marauding attacks that sacked numerous villages extending considerably upriver by the 870s AD.
The mouth of the Seine near L'Havre marks a key staging area where land troops from Spain were to meet with the ill-fated Spanish Armada in the year 1588. Due to stormy seas and harassment from the English fleet, the rendezvous was not successfully accomplished, altering modern sea supremacy.

Ollivander (fl. 382 B.C.) was the wizard who arrived at Britain from, apparently, a Mediterranean country and set up Ollivanders Wand Shop in 382 B.C.. An expert wandmaker, Ollivander sold to ancient British wizards whose wands were crude of construction and unreliable in performance.[1]
Early life
Ollivander was apparently an ancient Roman wizard. Based on the etymology of his name, which is said to mean "he who owns the olive wand," he may have been brought up in a Mediterranean country (olive trees not being native to Great Britain).[1]
Career as a wandmaker
It is believed by Garrick Ollivander, a descendant of this individual, that the founder of Ollivanders Wand Shop arrived with the Romans, setting up a stall (subsequently a shop) to manufacture and sell wands to the ancient British wizards, whose wands were crudely-made and inferior in quality and performance.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Despite Garrick Ollivander's claims that the original Ollivander arrived to Great Britain with the Romans, this individual started his wand-making business in 382 B.C. but the Roman conquest of Britain (Britannia) only began effectively in 43 B.C., under Emperor Claudius.

The bill would create new statewide standards for teaching abstinence and safe sex. Parents would be required to opt out, instead of the current requirement that they approve participation for their children.
The bill passed the Senate Monday on a 20-15 party-line vote. The Senate made a few changes to the bill, including a requirement that sex-ed programs must stress the importance of abstinence.
The Senate changes mean the House will have to reconsider the measure before it can become law.

The Imponte Ruiner is a 1980's 2-door Sports Car found in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.
DesignThe Ruiner is based on the third generation GM F-Body (seen in the period's Pontiac Firebird, and Chevrolet Camaro). It has a T-Top roof, with either glass or solid panels installed. The semi-concealed pop-up headlights, and the front fascia are similar to the 1983-19Nissan 300ZX (Z31 Series). The taillights and trunk spoiler are shaped like those of the Camaro, but the area between and below the taillights better resembles the Firebird, with "IMPONTE" and "Ruiner 450GT" positioned where the Firebird logo would be. The ground effects on the front end are reminiscent of 1985-1990 Pontiac Trans Ams. The wheels resemble those of the Mitsubishi Starion, and the added pillars on the rear window may also come from the Starion.
All Ruiners feature "RUINER" decals and stripes along the lower part of the doors, much like that of the Camaro IROC-Z, although the stripes and decals share colors with the ground effects, much like 1982-1984 Trans Ams. Some Ruiners also feature an offset cowl induction hood, strikingly similar to those found on 1982-1984 Trans Ams and 1985-1992 Firebird Formulas.
The Ruiner is powered by a large 7.3L V8, coupled to a high-performance 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is very good, close to cars with a much higher price tag. Its top speed of 191 mph is also excellent; brisk, yet controllable. The suspension is moderately firm, giving the Ruiner much needed grip in the turns, while still loose enough to have some fun with. Handling-wise, the Ruiner is a stellar performer, with constant grip, little fishtailing, and a lot of torque. Braking is very good, if not the best in its class, and ABS comes standard. Crash deformation is acceptable, but not great; the Ruiner can be disabled after only a few crashes.
Ivan Bytchkov drives a unique Ruiner during Ivan The Not So Terrible. It is painted black with uniquely bright yellow trim. The car may appear with one of a variety of iridescence paint tints, including, but not limited to, red, blue, and gold, making the car's body color unique.
The car can be obtained after Ivan abandons his car. However, the player must get in the car to save its identity as a car driven by the player. The player may continue to chase Ivan after getting in and out of the car. If done, it will be in the middle of the street where Ivan abandoned it after the chase. Note that whichever car the player chased Ivan in will despawn. Due to the nature of the chase, Ivan's Ruiner will be damaged, but will not be severe enough as to inhibit it from being driven to the player's safehouse.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the default radio station in the Ruiner is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- Ruiners feature license plate frames that say "Ruining Imports Since '67". 1967 was the year GM debuted the F-Body. This gives further evidence that the Ruiner is based on the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, as 1967 is the year that they were both introduced. This is also possibly a reference to the Vigero, which is based on the first generation Camaro.
- Spawn around Northwood, East Holland and North Holland, Algonquin.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I recently spoke at a major medical meeting. As I was firing up my computer, a number of colleagues came up to talk. When it was time for me to speak, I began my presentation. About halfway through, my computer screen went blank.
I'd forgotten to plug in my computer. Now this was a minor interruption. I took responsibility, and everything worked out fine.
We know that when we're tired or distracted, we're not at our best. In most circumstances, the resulting mistakes are trivial. We forget where we parked our car. We can't find our keys. But let me share a story with you.
At a major medical center, a patient was receiving care for cancer arising from the left kidney. Tragically, during surgery the patient's healthy right kidney was removed instead of the cancerous left kidney. Devastation for the patient, the family and the medical care team.
How could this have happened? A careful review of the records revealed that some of the individuals involved in the care of this patient had been distracted by beepers and cell phones, which affected their focus and concentration.
Most of us aren't surgeons and don't deal with life-or-death situations, but the lesson is powerful nevertheless.
When we fail to focus, we make mistakes. Knowing that, what can we do to avoid it? How can we conserve our energy? How can we protect our priorities? Please weigh in.

I would like something clarified.
I see the word dyslexia used in the context when someone confuses the left direction with the right direction. They will say "left" when they really mean "right".
however, when I look up the definition and symptoms of dyslexia it is defined as difficulty with reading.
What then is the condition called for the right/left problem?
Your comments are so right on target. No matter what job or lifestyle you have, it is much too easy to be distracted by all that is happening around us. This is the reason that people should not drive while talking on their cell phones or texting. The mind just cannot function well in this situation.
As a retired Nurse, who worked in the medical field for over 30 yrs, I understand the stress and the overworked conditions that can lead to medical errors, but in this day and age, operating on the wrong site is inexcusable. We now have checks and double checks, we mark the area with a pen that is either to be removed, or repaired. I find no justification for the surgery error discribed in this article. Every one in the medical field must do better so these errors do not occur. I have seen progress,the last few years, such as checking name bands, date of birth, etc., before even doing something so simple as giving the patient a medication. Do not let stress be your excuse for harming your patient.
Some of us are people oriented, others, more task oriented. People people can adjust to distractions more easily than task people. The latter are like the absent minded professor who block out the world when they focus. When they are interrupted, they "fall to pieces".
Thanks...yes, stress takes the quality and health of our daily lives away sometimes.
The stress I have experienced from IDENTITY THEFT from a year and one half ago continues and has taken away many happy days away from my entire family forever. It's certainly going around the world today.
However, older women are the main targets research shows. And, many of them do not report the theft to the police so it continues and continues unreported. I did report it to the police and the cyber crime detective found the criminal and the court part is over, But with all of my identification out in the world, in the last three weeks someone using my name and ID was arrested, and my airline miles I needed to make a trip were given to a "friend of mine" the agent said.
Never heard of this "friend"?
Let's all celebrate WORLD ELDER ABUSE DAY on JUNE 15, 2012!
The color to wear is PURPLE!
This ongoing stress does not add to our lives and health unless we are the ones giving care, love and support to the victims. We all can help each other every day of our lives resulting in better quality of life for us.
Thanks in advance...and I have faith you will be blessed for helping
others beyond your imagination.
Exactly what happened today! I work in surgery and was totally being distracted while trying to learn a new procedure. People kept coming in the room offering help and talking just when I really needed to concentrate on the medications I was preparing. I had to tell them I really needed some quiet so I could concentrate. I find it hard to keep my mind on my task at hand when there are too many people , all talking at once.
