So what goes on? I personally was hoping for a steer on my writing and what I was doing right or wrong. The course was some way from that. In the first week we were given an assignment and then asked to read it at the next meeting. People then commented on the story.
Comments were, for example, primarily around developing characters and had you thought to add something about a particular character. There was also a discussion on the direction of the tale and suggestions on extending the plot or, more usually, asking where the author felt the plot would go next. There was little or nothing about grammar or style.
A disappointment was that the tutor selected who should read an assignment and I found that several weeks went by where I wasn't asked to speak. That made the homework a little pointless.
The course aimed at getting people writing regularly which it certainly achieved by setting assignments. It also explored different writing such as short stories, poetry and plays, so if you are interested in novel writing then this is only one aspect and may make the course less interesting to you. The course I attended covered poetry and I am dreadful at poetry and could only think of limericks. I found that quite embarrassing and was the lowlight of the course for me.
The highlight was meeting other authors. This is a useful aspect as you meet others who may be able to help by discussing ideas after class. Getting folk to the pub afterwards is not a bad idea.
Overall, the course was helpful to an extent but also disappointing as I was really interested in developing my writing and time was too limited for that. The plus point was meeting others. For the price it is worth considering.

I tried the hidden files thing to no avail.
Still can not find it!
But, here is the strange thing;
If I enter ' cd \programdata ' in the command prompt the file shows........
I can then also enter ' dir ' and it will show all contents........
SOOOOOO......... Where the heck is it hiding???????????

Try Recuva:
Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download
And search for "ProgramData".
If it was deleted, I can't imaging how the OS is still functioning.
You could also try searching for it using "Everything".

Tried Recuva
WOW! That's a lot of files to go through!
But there is nothing that is just C:\ProgramData
There are some old files from that folder though.
|My System Specs

You clearly have the files and data there if a "dir" command is showing them. Now, as to why explorer is hiding them, I'm not sure. Are you currently running an antivirus solution? If so, have you done a scan recently?

windows 7 home 64bit
I am having a very similar issue. On the left side of the window explorer i also have lost the Program data folder, along with the main Users folder. I have been working at it for weeks now. I first tried to show hidden folders which at that time made the missing folders appear.... fixed right??? no.... they disappeared after a restart. Tried the folder option again no luck this time. I can access these folders by typing c:\users in the top explorer bar. If i do that the window pops up with the other folders in the users folder and i can access all those files. Same with the Program data folder. They are there but not listed on the left side. Now I have been battling some maleware (widgi toolbar, application updater, and some others) I scanned and scanned and uninstalled numerous programs, and files. Until it was all gone except the youtube downloader folder that had the last widgi file in it. I deleted and uninstalled any related programs and whala users and all other missing folders reappeared. Yah fixed it........... not. after restart they went missing again. All files i had deleted and programs uninstalled were still gone nothing reemerged. but the folders are still missing. I am also having an issue with the credential manager. while logged in as admin it wont open states its not responding and restarts. works ok on a none admn login. Restarted in safe mode no networking same problem. I was about ready to reinstall but found this thread. Maybe there is a fix. Sorry for the lengthy post but wanted to give all the details and hopefully this fills in some gaps and maybe someone can help.
P.S. software used so far

Unanswered: VBScript to call data from MS SQL SERVER database
anyone know how to use VBScript to call the data from the MS SQL SERVER database?
And how to assign the database record value to Document.write, plus the text together.
Dim a
a = DoctorsProfile.DoctirName.value
Is it correct?
Next one would be:
Document.write DoctorsProfile.DoctorName + "is specialize in eye diseases"
Is it correct?
How to write them, can anyone please help me?
In the ASP page I also created three recordset, meaning that there are three different tables.
I'm very appreciate your help. And would be very thankful to you.
Please reply soon, as soon as possible.

Virginia's pioneers show the way
Cavan town gets ready for grand opening of its modern Agricultural Society complex
The finishing touches are being put to Virginia Agricultural Society's new headquarters and arena which is scheduled to open early in September.
The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, has been invited to cut the ribbon at the venue which has been redeveloped after eight years of lobbying and fundraising.
The complex has been financed by the Cavan-Monaghan LEADER company to the tune of €500,000. Matching funds were raised by the Virginia Society's 200 strong membership - mainly local farmers and business interests.
The new facilities will be given a preview at next month's 73rd annual Virginia Show which will feature the prestigious Diageo Bailey Cow championship on Wednesday, August 20.
It has been a long road for the Society which first mooted plans to build a new HQ back in 2006 when it engaged MCA Consulting to carry out a feasibility study on building a centre which could accommodate the annual show and also provide a social and community centre for the lakeside Cavan town.
A business plan soon followed and in 2008 the Society applied to Cavan-Monaghan LEADER company for funding.
LEADER backed the idea and endorsed the Virginia Society's proposal to raise matching funds for the one million euro project. Local architect, Gavan Hanley of and Tate, was commissioned to design the facilities.
The project would not have proceeded without the significant aid provided by the Cavan- Monaghan LEADER co mpany.

Despite your best efforts, a rogue supervisor occasionally slips through. He may harbor discriminatory attitudes that can color his termination and disciplinary decisions. And you may end up responsible if you blindly go along with those decisions.
But you can cut that chain by doing a little independent digging into what really happened. Then document your efforts to get both sides of the story.
Recent case: Peter Brown claimed that his direct supervisor illegally discriminated when he recommended Brown be terminated. But the employer had another supervisor review the termination request and gave Brown a chance to tell his side of the story. Ultimately he was fired.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that by independently investigating, the employer wouldn't be held liable for the supervisor's "hidden discriminatory motives." (Brown v. Napolitano, No. 09-14048, 11th Cir., 2010)

Senior Prom Trailer (2010)
01 January 2010
A handful of teenagers try to make sense of what they're told will be the biggest night of their lives in this mockumentary comedy. The school year is winding down and the Senior Prom looms on the horizon; Brittany (Jessica Weight) is head of the prom committee and determined that everything will be perfect, which turns out to be harder than she imagined. Would-be cool guy Miles (Michael Ward) is infatuated with Brittany and volunteers for the prom committee in hopes of impressing her, through his ineptitude only makes matters worse. Insufferably cute couple Shawn (Alan Garcia) and Shelly (Alix Deenin) have been an item since they were in fourth grade, and they're both looking forward to the prom, but there's a rumor afoot that Shawn has been seeing Natalie (Megan Gisler) on the side that could derail everything. And goofball Zach (Max Watson) has a serious crush on class cynic Lynsey (Lynsey Lorraine), but his idea of a good way to ask her out is to make a placard and carry it around.

Time Warner and the MSG network — the regional cable network that produces broadcasts of the New York Knicks, Rangers and New York Liberty — have ended a 48-day disagreement that prevented many cable customers from seeing games.
Time Warner Cable spokesman Alexander Dudley confirmed the deal and said that the Knicks and Sabres games will broadcast tonight. He said no details of the deal will be disclosed.
Governor Andrew Cuomo stepped in this week, the New York Times reported, accelerating the dispute's resolution. The recent rise of Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has put additional pressure on the companies to come to an agreement over the fees that Time Warner would have to pay to continue carrying content from MSG.
Cuomo and officials from both companies will announce the deal in a press conference Friday, the report said.
This is not the first time that politicians have stepped in to resolve retransmission disputes. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) sent letters to Sunbeam and DirectTV last month urging them to resolve similar issues that prevented Boston-area fans from seeing Patriots games ahead of the Super Bowl.

" Poor customer service, rip off's"
Very rude manager. Very condescending. Did not relinquish my keys because I decided to take my service elsewhere. I literally had to contact authorities to retrieve my keys. Even after offering to pay for the towing the manager wasn't satisfied. He increase my service charge before returning my car keys. He did not accept my credit card stating they do not take credit cards. The service was so unbelievably poor I paid in cash just to spare me the mercy of dealing with this agony. Worst, worst customer service I have ever experienced and worst is an understatement. Do not stop at this location keep driving pass. Please

Jason Rantz
Tacoma teen shouldn't be fired for wearing Broncos jersey to work
Taken from Wednesday's edition of The Jason Rantz Show on KIRO Radio.
Being a Denver Broncos fan in Washington is going to be difficult for awhile. One teenager in Tacoma learned the hard way just how tough it can be.
KING 5 brings us the story of 17-year-old Nathaniel Wentz. Nathaniel's boss at Odyssey 1 entertainment center told his employees to wear team jerseys to show their spirit. Nathaniel, a lifelong Broncos fan, wore a Broncos jersey. His boss told him to go home and change and Nathaniel later found out he'd been fired. KING 5 says he was technically fired because he didn't return to work after being told to go home and change.
When I first heard this story, I was sort of on the fence because generally speaking I'm one that says the rules are the rules, you follow the rules and if you don't, you suffer the consequences. In this case, this kid Nathaniel he decided to not follow the rules and he paid the consequences for it. But then I was thinking, to borrow language from a lawyer featured in the story, just how "petty" this firing was.
We invited Odyssey 1 on the show to tell their side of the story but they've declined. They did release a statement on their Facebook page:
"To show support for the Seattle Seahawks on game day, our employees may choose to wear a Seahawks jersey in place of our standard uniform which is required. To prevent any possible conflicts, the option of wearing other team's jerseys is not allowed. The employee reported to work in an unauthorized uniform and was asked to change into a standard uniform. Soon after he left to change into an accepted uniform, we received a phone call stating that he was not returning to work, leaving his position unfilled and creating extra stress for the staff covering his job on a busy weekend day."
Apparently, it was so stressful and so busy that they chose to send him home over a jersey that happened to be the opposing team the Seahawks will end up having to face in the Super Bowl.
I remember when I was at my first full-time job after college. I worked as an agent's assistant in a literary agency for screenwriters and television writers in Beverly Hills. And as you can imagine, the folks in Hollywood tend to be extremely liberal, tend to have very far-left views. There were not many conservatives there, and if there were, there weren't that many people willing to admit that they were Republicans or conservatives.
I am someone who revels in the fact that I can proudly state who I am, what I believe, where I come from on a number of positions, and be the minority. I like that.
There is something about that that makes it feel empowering to me. There is something about that that gives me some pride.
So as I'm in my little cubicle, I notice a lot of people putting up little posters and little pictures on their desk and on their cubicle walls and I decided at the time to print out a Republican poster, a poster that was political in nature. It was a John McCain poster, and I put it up on my wall.
A lot of people gave me crap for it. Not just the teasing that you would normally expect, but actual antagonizing, asking, "You're a Republican? You believe that? That's stupid."
There was one person who was actually an agent in the office who gave me props for having the guts to put that up there and I took pride in that.
And that's how I'm looking at this kid. Even though again, normally I'm saying hey, 'You follow the rules or you're out,' I think what he did is kind of gutsy. It kind of takes guts to do what he did and I think that it is so petty for an employer to tell a 17-year-old child that he is no longer welcome in his position because he chose not to wear a uniform for the Seahawks. It's just a football game.
I take incredible pride in Seattle. I took incredible pride when the Seahawks won and I'm confident they're going to win on Super Bowl Sunday. But this is so petty. This is the lesson that we're teaching kids that they have to conform to a popular opinion or they're out, that they can't be individuals. We shouldn't be shaming people for being a fan of another team, we're better than that.

While I figure out how to do the hardest thing on my Xmas list, why don't you check out the Illuminati Collab.
It's got some Christmassy stuff in it made by loads of Newgrounds artists, some Illuminati references and you can reward yourself with a bunch of medals, too.
P.S. Here's the music from credits of "The Raccoons".
If you fancy making something for the Holidays, check out this collab over in the art forum.
It's all about trying to find the Illuminati references in Christmas cards.
(this is the progress I've got so far on it, and we've also got some lovely music by Mattashi, too :) )
... bleh, and while I have the opportunity: here's some cool music
and here's a GIF
k thanks bye.
Do you fancy making a Christmas card for anybody?
Do you want to hide some Illuminati references in it??
Do you want to spread the nauseating Christmas disease into the month of November?!?!
Here is an art collab that I'm planning to host. The idea is that the players play a "Where's Wally" type game and spot as many Illuminati symbols as possible to unlock new pictures and medals.
Other than designing a Christmas card, whatever you decide to draw is up to you!
For more details, if you have any questions, or you just want to share some interest and WIPs, check out this thread.
Just a reminder that there are 8 more days left for the sculpting contest!
oh boy
In order to give some substance to this newspost, I've compiled a picture with all the entries/WIPs so far. I've been really happy with the turn-out and the quality that's coming through. I'm trying to keep my mouth shut to be impartial, but I know it's going to be a real arse to draw out favourites from myself and the other judges.
(If I've missed your entry off this pic* it's probably because I'm not aware of it, so pop me a PM)
(*but not you, Jiovanni! Thanks for all the entries)
I have nothing to do with this project, but it looks so good and is so close to the funding threshold that I think it's worth shouting about on the frontpage.
Here's Wurmy's Newgrounds profile, as well as the website for the game and their Twitter.
As I write this, it is $3500 away from its $50000 goal. I think that if we can give it a nudge, we can make it happen.
(oh, and don't forget to join/watch the sculpting contest)
Just a reminder that there's a sculpting art contest going on!
It's a good opportunity to try something different, sharing ideas and techniques, or just trashing everybody else with your outstanding skills.
I'm going to try and get these two lumpy clay things finished. The deadline is the 14th of September, so there's good time to think about what you'd like to make, and how you want to put it together.
Further q&a can be found in the thread. :)
Amaranthus is hosting a sculpting contest going on in the art portal, so check it out!
The theme is to SCULPT ANYTHING! The theme is that easy!
Any medium is fine, like sculpting clay, wood, lollipop sticks, cardboard, ... so long as you can hold something 3D in your hands!
1. All sculptures must be made by you, OR ELSE.
2. No pre-fabricated stuff, like models from kits or dolls. Extras are fine, but it's best to check first.
3. Your model must be made specifically for the contest! Don't post old junk!
4. Multiple entries are welcome, however each contestant may only win one prize.
5. You must tag your submission "sculpt2014", non-scouted users have to post their submissions within the thread so it gets noticed.
∞. ALL ART FORUM RULES APPLY! e.g. Adult content must be highly artistic or exceptionally funny.
Entries must be posted by 11:59pm on September 14th EST. Not one second later.
The Grand Winner gets $100,
Second prize is $75,
Third prize is $50!
Consolation prize: The model you made. Woohoo!
Further questions can be posted within the thread (so everybody can see!)
... oh, here's something I made ages ago, as an example.
and here is an irrelevant GIF.
The art portal will be 5 years old from Wednesday the 18th of June.
We think.
Well, Wikipedia says it was launched on the 18th of June 2009.
Anyway, you could use the opportunity to
- Join our anniversary art portal flood, where you redo one of your first submissions, or
- Create something celebratory for the day.
Thought I really should do a plug on frontpage for this art contest I'm hosting for a prize of £25 to the winner, before it gets too late and I have to flog it off onto a half-finished WIP.
The theme's "Leaders In Love" ... which is an awful name, but you can find out more about the contest here.
Have a go. It can tie in with a Valentine's gift; I'm sure your partner would love a card with Hitler on it.
Hello, merry Christmas.
Here's an art collab that 30 artists have spent the past 6-7 weeks doing, so that there's something Christmassy in the portal.
Hope you like the arts, 'cos there's some real cracking ones in there.
Hope you like the medals, there's about 80 points in there, two of which are Easter Eggs,
and hope you don't get assaulted by Santa this year ...
- SirNightOwl was here! ;D (I'm not dead)

Universal Sets 2012 Release Dates
Universal just set a bunch of release dates for some of their bigger upcoming movies. Are you intrigued? Yes, of course you are. Let's take a look.
Larry Crowne – July 1, 2011
Tom Hanks is directing and starring in this comedy-drama about the titular Larry Crowne, a middle-aged man who goes back to college when he is fired from his job. He smokes pot, joins the ultimate frisbee team, and gets into all sorts of hilarious collegiate hijinks. Wouldn't that be funny? No, actually he falls in love with his professor, played by Julia Roberts. Yawn.
Safe House – February 10, 2012
Denzel Washington is a hardened criminal (sure) and Ryan Reynolds is a young CIA agent (why not) in this action-thriller from Swedish director Daniel Espinosa. When a team of baddies destroy the safe house in which Washington is being held, the sardonic young Reynolds has to guide him to safety. It's like 16 Blocks, except Mos Def is Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis is Ryan Reynolds. And Washington won't have a speech impediment, hopefully.
Contraband – March 16, 2012
Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale are going to star in this remake of the 2008 Icelandic film Reykjavic-Rotterdam, in which the protagonist is a former smuggler trying to go straight, who gets roped in for one last job. Because there aren't already enough movies with this plot line, Universal is going to bring you another, and you're going to sit and watch it goddamnit. Baltasar Kormakur, who directed the original, will also be helming the English-language Marky-Mark version.
Untitled Judd Apatow Movie – June 1, 2012
'Untitled Judd Apatow Movie' is not the title of this untitled Judd Apatow movie, which is being written, directed, and produced by Judd Apatow. Or maybe it is? Has Judd Apatow's cultural relevancy reached such a point of critical mass that his only logical path now is to get all self-reflexive and make meta Judd Apatow movies about the process of making Judd Apatow movies? Maybe this will be a groundbreaking Charlie Kaufman collaboration. I would watch that.
The Bourne Legacy – August 3, 2012
Tony Gilroy will be directing the 4th installment of the Bourne franchise, which means Matt Damon won't actually be in it. Matt Damon told Universal he wouldn't star unless they brought back Paul Greengrass to direct. Universal laughed and decided to call his bluff. But no, Matt Damon is serious about not being in the next Bourne movie. And Matt Damon is Jason Bourne. So why are we still talking about this? Is anyone seriously interested in seeing a Bourne flick without Bourne in it? No? Okay then, moving on.
Ouija – November 9, 2012
Michael Bay's company Platinum Dunes is going to produce the hell out of this movie – as Michael Bay is want to do – with a rumored $80 – $100 million budget. Hell yeah! Enough with these pussy-footed $15,000 budget Paranormal Activity-type films. Anyway, this is a movie about a board game that people use to communicate with the dead.
47 Ronin – November 21, 2012
Keanu Reeves will star in this epic period film, based on the true story of a group of samurai in 18th century Japan who avenged the death of their master in a famous revenge-attack in 1702. Carl Rinsch, a promising commercial director we've had our eye on ever since we saw his very cool 2010 video short The Gift, will direct. Plus, Keanu is half Asian, so thankfully we won't have to deal with another brow-raising Tom Cruise-Last Samurai situation.
Snow White And The Huntsman – December 21, 2012
Tom Hardy (Inception) is rumored to be playing The Huntsman and Angelina Jolie the evil queen Ravenna in this reimagining of the classic fairy tale from spec scriptwriter Evan Daugherty. While I'm naturally skeptical of this project, The Playlist got their hands on the script and said it was "actually very strong, one of the better action-adventure scripts we've read in a while." Rupert Sanders will direct.
The Dark Tower – May 17, 2013
Oscar-winning director Ron Howard is set to helm the first of what Universal is setting up as a trilogy of films based on Stephen King's popular Dark Tower series, about the gunslinger Roland Deschain, who – long story short – sets out on a quest to find a tower-nexus at the center of his universe. This one's still a long ways off, but fans of the seven-book epic are already excited. You should be too, assuming Universal doesn't screw this one up. A TV series is also in the works.

For this study 100 specimens per population were collected and examined morphologically using standard biometric techniques. Measurements were carried out using precise instruments : electronic digital calliper at 0.01mm precision and electronic scale at 0.01g precision. Five morphological parameters were considered with the object to compare the five sites :
-Height H
-Width W
-Thickness T
-Total weight (except for site SA1)
-Dorsal side (DS)
The analysis concerns:
1-Comparison of morphological parameters with the use of statistical tests (Kruskal-Wallis test ).
2- Comparison of C and R coefficients according to Hynd (1955)
3-Study of the relative growth parameters (Dagnélie, 1982; Box and Cox,1982) in each population using allometric tests (regression lines)
4-Analysis of morphological parameters' variation based on the
use of a standard animal (Aloui-Bejaoui &. al., 2003).
9th International Conference on Shellfish RestorationNovember 15–19, 2006 - Charleston, South Carolina, USA
Comparison of morphological parameters with the use of statistical tests and Box and Whisker Plot :
The Kruskal-Wallis Test of the Medians results in significant difference amongst the populations for the Height (Test statistic=162,78, P-value <0,001), the width (Test statistic=164,14, P-value <0,001 ), the thickness (Test statistic=203,98, P-value <0,001), the dorsal side (Test statistic=132,77, P-value <0,001) and the total weight (Test statistic=138,35, P-value <0,001) at the 95% confidence interval .
The Student T-test as well as the Box and Whisker Plot indicates that animals from Saronikos Gulf (SA1) present the:
- higher values for height followed by the ROD , SA2 and LAT populations. KER present the lowest values.
- greater values for width, as it was observed for height, and animals from Tunisia (KER) the lowest.
- higher values for thickness followed by the LAT, ROD and SA2 populations which seem not to differ significantly and at the end again the KER population presents the lowest values.
P. radiata from Tunisia (KER) present significant differences (p<0,001) from all the other sites and have the lowest values for total weight. At the other end, animals from Saronikos Gulf (SA2) (weight measurements from SA1 were not available) have the greater values. SA2 population is significantly different from all other sites except Rodos (ROD).
Individuals were collected from 5 different sites. Three prominent established populations of Pinctada radiata have been selected from Greece: the populations of Rodos (ROD) and Saronikos Bay (SA1, SA2), one population from Tunisia Kerkennah islands (KER) and one from Syria, Lattakia area (LAT). Sampling was carried out by diving.
- Convexity in SA1, SA2 and LAT present the higher values. Pinctada radiata in ROD and KER is the less convex.
-The variations of Dorsal Side are not statistically linked to the other morphologic parameters. DS is a parameter highly influenced by the ecological conditions. The variations of this parameter are significant for only a couple of sites: SA1 and KER. The first site presents the more important value of R whereas KER, as for the other parameters, presents the lowest one.This indicates an almost equal increase for the two parameters in the Tunisian population while at the other sites height has a faster growth rate than DS.
The more important total weight of a 50 mm height standard animal is observed in SA2 and LAT and the lowest one in KER. All the results confirm a better relative growth of the populations of Saronikos Gulf (height and width). The total weight in SA2 is more important than in the other populations. The population of KER presents the lowest values. The population of LAT presents a good development in total weight, comparatively to its metric growth. Among the three populations of Greece, ROD is the one that presents the less good growth in terms of height and total weight. This population shows a shape which develops more in width.
The Kruskal-Wallis test tests the null hypothesis that the medians of one parameter within each of the 5 levels of Station are the same. The data from all the levels is first combined and ranked from smallest to largest. The average rank is then computed for the data at each level. Since the P-value is less than 0,05, there is a statistically significant difference amongst the medians at the 95,0% confidence level. The Box-and-Whisker Plot determine which medians are significantly different from which others.
These differences are also obvious on the following graphs:
The equations of the regression lines have permitted to calculate the theoric values of weight after having fixed the value of the metric parameters of the individuals belonging to the different populations (standard animal). This value has been fixed in a way it could be the nearest possible of the means calculated refering to the different populations : H=50 mm
To summarize the results and visualize better the differences between sites we performed a Euclidean clustering method for all measured parameters except Total Wet Weight. The produced dendrogram suggests that the SA1 population is completely different from all the others which form two subgroups, the Greek sites together (SA2 and ROD) and the Syrian and Tunisian (LAT and KER) on the other subgroup.
There is no differences observed according to an east-west transect. Pinctada radiata is adapting to its new environmental conditions in spite of the geographic distance from its native area. Saronikos Gulf (Greece) population have the greater values and animals from Kerkennah Islands (Tunisia) present significant differences from all the other sites and have the lowest values in all parameters measured. It is assumed that environmental parameters are responsible for the observed morphometrical differences and shell morphology of Pinctada radiata has been shown to vary especially with salinity (Al Sayed & al., 1997). In Tunisia, the thermic conditions are very favorable and enable high fecundities of Pinctada radiata (Zouari and Zaouali,1994 ), just like for the other bivalves. This situation leads to different modalities of growth.

How can the platinum rule change your relationships with people?
What was your aha moment today?
The Platinum rule is great! The rule paired with this course gives me a so many ideas on how I can totally change how I communicate with those around me. I have already seen a difference with one of my (toxic) colleagues, as long as I acknowledge that she is there while explaining that I don't have time to talk just then, it saves me from listening to 20min of what her cat did last night (while trying to work.) The acknowledgement has worked so well in fact that about 50% of the time when she comes into my office, she says, 'oh, your busy' and only talks for 3 minutes and then goes. HUGE improvement.
· What was your aha moment today?
I absolutely love this matrix. I totally have a lot of practice to do with it but I am a big fan of it as an organizational tool. I changed the list of personality traits into an excel sheet to help me organize and see it better and I have the Matrix and the personality traits chart up in my office at work. Some of my students have asked me about it and those with autism have shown some real interests. I am looking forward to getting proficient enough with the matrix where I can teach aspects of it to them in more depth and help them make more connections with those around them.
Treat others the way they want to be treated! This is a life changing rule that I learnt
Day 12, there was a lot of great info on this day. My aha moment was listening to verbal cues when it came to speed reading people focusing on their words, stories and pace. I think when I had originally listened to people speak I had not connected their words to being either introverted or extroverted, although I think I did pick up their neurotic characteristics easily prior to taking this course. I also liked the steps involved of How To Speed Read People(the Analytical side of my personality) as well as the breakdown and examples of the Fixed Point Theory.
The Platinum rule would definitely add some depth to the relationship with others. By allowing others to be treated the way they would treat themselves you would account for their feelings.
I would like to know would this be an example of the Platinum Rule?{ If a person is feeling depressed, if for example Person A is the person who is trying to speak and Person B is the one depressed.
If Person A knows that he finds meditation soothing because it helps him clear his mindbut Person B, likes to be active, saying something like "I find it helpful to find a quiet place and reflect, it would be disrespectful to Person B. If Person A knew Person B was active possible alternatives could be, "You could go for a run for 10 minutes" or "Walk around the neighborhood" would take into consideration the activity level of Person B.}
I'm not sure if this would be implementing the Platinum Rule or not but it was the one that crossed my mind.
MBTI seems to be a more accepted way to evaluate personalities. The five factor model seems to be easier to use from an observers point of view. When I look for books to help be more proficient in the use of The Five Factor Model there jus aren't a lot. Does anyone have some suggestions? I really want to get better at speed reading people and to know their strengths and weaknesses to better help them.
I was also wondering if there was any books relating the two systems to each other.

The adidas UltraBOOST is made for running, however the silhouette is now ready for the turf with a gridiron foootball edition. Going by the UltraBOOST Cleat, the silhouette is paired with the UltraBOOST 3.0 runner as part of the Silver Pack.
Here is how adidas describes the UltraBOOST Cleat…
Merging sneaker and football cleat design and innovation, the UltraBOOST Cleat redefines fit, feel and lightweight construction to help provide the gridiron's fastest and most intimidating athletes with the perfect blend of style and technology for elite performance.
Crafted from one of the brand's most iconic running shoes, the adidas UltraBOOST Cleat features a Primeknit one-piece bootie construction that is engineered to naturally move with the foot on the field and help provide a comfortable, precision fit with maximum breathability.
A midfoot cage welded into the upper wraps around the foot to provide a lockdown feel for multidirectional movement and control, while a reinforced toecap helps provides structure and protection during plants and cuts. The trademark UltraBOOST heel clip construction cradles the heel to help keep the foot centered over the top of the plate during acceleration and stopping.
A BOOST sockliner helps provide comfort and further reduces cleat pressure, while an all-new RAZORFRAME provides torsional rigidity and features strategically placed SPRINTSTUDS designed to provide peak performance and multi-directional strength and traction.
A release date for the Silver Pack is currently unknown. Hit adidas dealers for availability and stay with us for updates.

POLICE are appealing for members of the public to come forward with information on two "barbaric" men who tortured and killed a pet cat.
On Monday evening, around midnight, police were called to Garnett Street, Barrowford, after reports from a neighbour of hearing a "tremendous commotion".
Resident Jasmine Pickard (19) was awoken by cries and, when she looked out of her bedroom window, saw two men holding a cat by its tail, taunting their two Lurcher type dogs with it.
She said the men, who were wearing hoodies and looked between 18 and 21, let their dogs play a game of "tug of war" with it.
"I was fast asleep when I was woken up and looked out. It was awful, I could see the lads had the cat by its tail. The dogs were jumping up at it at playing tug of war with it.
"After they'd mauled it they then took it off the dogs and threw it down. They walked away laughing and then one of them went back and jumped on the cat's head and slung it in a bush like a piece of trash.
"One had what looked like a white greyhound which was very stocky and the other had a small whippet. They'd obviously been out rabbiting."
Jasmine, who wants to be an animal welfare inspector, added: "It was awful. They are scumbags and should not be able to get away with it.
"I sent my boyfriend out to see if it was definitely a cat and he came back crying saying it was. I got in my car to see if I could find them but they had already made their way down the ginnel. I was driving around for half an hour trying to find them.
"That was someone's pet. I have been asking around if anyone knows who these scum are - there are so many animal lovers out there and they would want to see something done."
Sgt. Shaun Pearson of Nelson Police said: "This was a pet which was part of a family, horrifically killed after a period of torture. The amount of torture caused was enough to wake up residents up and shows just how much pain it has gone through. It was a barbaric act.
"We take this very seriously and we are appealing for any information or to anyone who might have had private CCTV operating that night."
The men are described as white and in their late teen/early 20s. They were wearing caps and tracksuits and had Lurcher type dogs.
If anyone has any information please contact police on 101 or the independent and anonymous charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
l Last year Jason Metcalfe from Earby was jailed for 16 weeks after pleading guilty to killing a cat in September, 2010.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make a Good Mermaid Show
Have you ever seen any mermaid shows? If you have, you probably wanted to make your own! If you do, this article can help you.
1Decide on the name of your show. If you and your friend have pink tails, you could call it Pearl Pink Tails or something. If it's about you and your best friends moving somewhere, like Malibu, you could call it Malibu Mermaids. Make it unique, and make sure you don't copy anyone.
2Get actors/actresses. You can't have a show without people! You may want to have some humans and some mermaids, or all mermaids. Also, decide if you are land mermaids or sea mermaids. Did you become a mermaid or did you become a human. Does your family live in the sea or on land? You should decide.
3Have some type of tails. Every mermaid show needs decent tails. If you want, make one! There's some great YouTube videos that provide instruction. If you want a simple tail, use leggings and a pillowcase. If you want a medium tail, use waterproof material, a tail pattern and a Mono fin. If you want a Professional tail, buy one from Mermaigica.com or FinFun.com
4Develop good characters. What are their character's names? What are they like? What is their background?
5Have a 'Technical Person.' If you want a good show, have someone who's good with computers. Consider having someone to film it and someone to edit it.
6Make sure you have your parent's permission. Your parents may not want 7 kids in their house, all with mermaid tails and such.
7Write the script. You have to have something to work with. You can't just shove a bunch of people in front of a camera and expect them to be word perfect. Make sure everyone knows his or her lines.
8Get a camera. You don't need professional cameras. You could use your iPhone, your iPad, and your tablet's camera.
9Hold Auditions. Don't just pick any random person. See who's the best. Make sure to pick someone who can supply their own tail, unless you have spares.
10Have Fun. Make sure no one gets bored.
11When you edit the video, make sure to give it a title. For example - Scales and Tails-Season 1 Episode 1- New Start, New Tail.
12Make seasons! For example - Scales and Tails - Season 2 - Episode 1 - Back to Malibu
Community Q&A
What if I need my friends' sizes to get them a mermaid tail, is that okay? And how do I make it look like they automatically change?Ceres DevlinIf you want them to automatically change, film the pre-transformation scene (a good idea for this is jumping into water), then pause the recording. Transform and get into the scene, and then continue filming.
How do I make a theme song?wikiHow ContributorYour theme song should be an introduction to your character(s) so maybe come up with a good backstory for the character first, and then craft this story into a song.
How do I think of a cool name for my mermaid series?wikiHow ContributorThink about things related to the sea, like shells, seaweed, sea animals, sea colors, and the like and use those to spark ideas.
How do I come up with names for the characters?wikiHow ContributorAny name can be used for the characters. Make a list of your favorite names and attributes that you associate with them, and then match them to your characters, keeping your characters' personalities in mind. If you truly are stuck, use a name generator or name them after mermaids from existing shows and films.
What do I do if my parents can't get me a mermaid tail? Is it fine to have scenes without tails?wikiHow ContributorYes. You can use leggings and a pillowcase if you can't afford a tail.
How do I make a show if my mom doesn't want me to go to the lake to film?Mallory MyersThere are other ways of filming with water, such as a pool or a hot tub. Ask your mom if there is any way you can film near/in water that is okay with her.
Would making a movie about a mermaid who got turned into a human be a good idea?wikiHow ContributorYour film sounds like a good idea. Make sure to write and rehearse your movie before filming.
How can I add cool transformation effects?wikiHow ContributorMany movie making programs have a built in feature for special effects. Try using that, or search online for some good homemade special effects tips.
How can I film with water?wikiHow ContributorIf your camera is not waterproof, you can film on a green screen, and then add a water effect in the background.

brooklynshopper Review
I can not say enough about how great this chair is. The quality is great and the chair is very comfortable. I've been looking for end chairs that fit this discription for months and this chair does not disappoint. The legs are brown, but a bit on the red side. I bought two of these chairs to serve as end chairs for my six- piece set of espresso brown leather side chairs. The legs on this chair in a dark cherry stain instead of a dark brown stain like my pre-existing chairs. Nonetheless, since the legs are still dark in tone it works and overall looks great in my dining room. If I did not already have the brown leather chairs I would have purchased eight of these to comprise my entire dining set. It was at a great price, my husband loves them and they are so easy to clean because of the leather. Thanks Overstock!

#Windows10 ? More like Windows 10 years ago!
I just setup a Surface 4 & Windows 10 - not sure why I was excited to try a new thing, it's basically XP with a flat design skin. #FutureNot

I have no beef with how #Windows10 *looks*. I'm disappointed it *works* just like XP. I understand that's a feature for many. Not for me!
