Winning the Wood Horse Race
It is believed that the Wood Horse is intelligent, friendly and inspirational -- traits that will make this lunar year one of energy and volatile changes. It will be a year of starts and finishes, a year of marriages and divorces; a year to make or break so here are some ideas on how to harness the year's natural energy and amplify it around your home.
The heart of the home is the living room. Light up this area with lively colours such as red and purple to stimulate liveliness in conversations and activities. Introduce some green plants to bring fresh air into the area and add a few spots of brightly coloured flowers to stir in an aura of excitement within the living space. For people who entertain, a few choice paintings or artworks can help create talking points, as well as bring out that bouquet of beauty and creativity around your guests.
Unlike the living room, kitchens should be themed with cleanliness and simplicity in mind. It is by nature an energetic room that needs no further stimulating. When choosing plants or artworks for the kitchen, think simplicity. The kitchen should offer a feeling of spaciousness and amplest that draws your creative energy into form so make sure it feels uncluttered and inviting.
For bedroom, avoid having huge imagery or crowding walls with big prints. Resting chambers should be soothed with soft pastel colours and accented by shades of beige or brown. Remember that the key here is to provide a calm and comfortable area of respite separated from the spirited and dynamic energy pervading the rest of the house so that its occupants may recharge effectively on a day-to-day basis.
If you would like to have the colour blue in your home, use a light shade of the hue in your bathrooms and expand its spatial ambiance with large mirrors. Again, make sure it is as clutter-free as possible and use as much natural materials such as wood and stones when choosing fittings and decorations.
The horse is a minimalistic animal with little need for overstatements or loud gestures so keep the house as clutter-free as possible. It is also the year to keep the evergreens around the home and make sure they are healthy and growing. Clean behind the furniture to rid any remaining dust or dirt and if you can feel the wide spaces of the savannah as you stand within your home, you are definitely on the right track.

Are atheists logical and reasoned and religious people imbeciles? Are conservatives insipid dolts and liberals enlightened pragmatists? Is the barista with a masters degree in medieval literature more intelligent that the ASE certified auto mechanic? Many hubbers flaunt their college degrees and hub scores while making arguments based on unsound premises, shaky logic, and blind adherence to rigid ideologies. How do you or I know if we are educated idiots or Socratic inquisitors seeking truth and knowing when we have found it?

The only scientific way to measure human intelligence today, is the IQ test. So if we believe that the atheist are more intelligent, then the nations where atheism or evolution theory is very popular, should have got the highest IQ levels. But on the other hand we see that the top five countries in the world, in terms of highest average IQ level, are namely; Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. Now they don't believe in God, but believe 'Chinese Mythology-- Dragons'. This would either require the atheist to redefine the terms 'atheism' and 'evolution-ism' OR, strictly based on Science and facts; we all should believe in Chinese Mythology.

Awesome take on this question. I disagree with your point about the IQ test. As an educator I have found that there are many areas of intelligence that are not an assessed by an IQ test.
I agree about the IQ test, Veritorogue. The GRE is another standardized test that in my opinion is not all that useful.
I don't think that a person's religious or political affiliations indicate their level of intelligence. I think that, if you were going to look at belief/intelligence correlations, you should instead look at how they approach their faith/politics. I know extremely intelligent people who are very religious, simply because it fills a niche in their life. Also, there are many who are of a certain religion/political party, but they do not hold to all of that groups ideas. Instead they follow their own path of belief. This in itself could be a sign of intelligence or stupidity, since there are many weird splinter groups of mainstream religion/politics.
The main problem with suggesting that all people within the umbrella terms of "athiests" or "religious people" are of the same mindset is that it requires all of those people to actually be of the same mindset. However, many people who consider themselves to be "religious" do not strictly adhere to rigid ideologies. And I personally know a few people who are athiests simply because they never were exposed to religion, see religion as a "stupid fairy tale," or simply don't want to have to think about God at all.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
It depends. There are extreme religious people who reject all kinds of science in lieu of faith, so technically they could be considered less intelligent. There was a study that showed liberals were generally more intelligent than their more religious conservative counterparts. I personally do believe that religious people can be less intelligent in certain areas of study.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Blind adherence to dogma does indicate either low intelligence or the individual's unwillingness to comtemplate alternatives to their ingrained beliefs. Einstein was not religious nor an atheist, where does that leave us?
Interesting. The more educated I have become, the more humble and wise I have become. My education gave me the ability to question my indoctrination in evolution with what I know of science and re-evaluate my opposition to a Biblical worldview.
The idea that religious people reject science is a lie propagated by repetition. Over and over again, newspapers, magazines, and other socialization tools (aka "media") tell you "Christians reject evolution and science." This is a lie.
Man from modesto: typically, christians do reject evolution- evolution, like creationism, is a theory about how we got here. Christians believe creationism, and therefore reject evolution, which is based on science, not faith or the bible.
As one educated in science, I can say that it takes a lot more faith to believe the weak science of evolution than the evidence for creation.

Elderly With Advanced Colon Cancer Often Get Costly, Dubious Treatments: Study
Posted 10 Mar 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, March 10, 2016 – Expensive drugs are being given far more often to elderly patients with advanced colon cancer, but they offer almost no benefit, a new study suggests. "This research found that there is a trend for elderly late-stage colorectal cancer patients to receive newer, more expensive drugs," said lead author Cathy Bradley, associate director for population science research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. "However, in spite of their receiving more drugs, no [significant] survival benefit was observed." In the study, published recently in the journal Medical Care, Bradley and her colleagues analyzed data on more than 16,000 Medicare patients with advanced, or metastatic, colon cancer and 4,000 patients with advanced rectal cancer. (Metastatic means the cancer has spread from the original tumor to other parts of the body.) They discovered that among ... Read more

Cheaper Alternative to Turing's Pricey Daraprim Soon Available
Posted 1 Dec 2015 by Drugs.com
A low-cost alternative to the infection-fighting drug Daraprim will be available to patients as soon as next week. The price of Daraprim rose 5,000 percent after it was acquired by Turing Pharmaceuticals earlier this year. The drug is used to treat a parasitic infection called toxoplasmosis. On Tuesday, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals announced it found a backer to distribute a $1-per-pill alternative to the $750-a-pill Daraprim. The backer is Express Scripts, the largest pharmacy benefits management company in the United States, CNN reported. The active ingredient in Daraprim is pyrimethamine. The new drug is a compound of pyrimethamine and leucovorin. Express Scripts said it will collaborate with medical groups to educate doctors about the new drug, CNN reported. Read more

Chemo Combo May Help Stave Off Pancreatic Cancer Death
Posted 11 May 2011 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, May 11 – A four-drug chemotherapy regimen for deadly pancreatic cancer nearly doubled patients' survival time compared to standard chemotherapy, a new study suggests. In late-stage trials, French researchers split a group of 342 patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the most common form of the disease, into two groups. Half received gemcitabine, the standard treatment, while the rest received FOLFIRINOX, a four-drug combination of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin and fluorouracil. The median survival time improved from 6.8 months for those in the gemcitabine group to 11.1 months in the FOLFIRINOX group, according to the study, which is published in the May 12 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Those in the combination group did suffer greater side effects from treatment, however. "We explain to the patients the advantages and toxicities of both ... Read more

This week's email newsletter article is:
- My New Windows 8.1 Notebook Computer
I finally broke down and bought a Windows 8.1 notebook. Actually, I've been looking for a Windows 8 notebook for well over a year, but I didn't find a notebook that met my needs well.
In part, I wanted speed and capability. Equally important, it needed to have a reasonable price, since I was purchasing it mainly as a secondary (or even tertiary) computer.
The "reasonable price" issue kept rearing its head again and again. Almost everything I had read about Windows 8+ said to be sure and have a touchscreen (and they were right). That kept pushing the price for an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 notebook to the $800+ range.
Then, my local big-box office supply store put this unit on sale […]
This Week Online — Blast From The Past
A Look at Articles from Past Newsletters
I received two questions recently from readers who wanted to back up their Thunderbird emails and email folders. Actually, both subscribers wanted to copy them so they could migrate to new PC's. But, the "backup and restore" process is ideal for that.
Russell Bell was one of those subscribers — Russell asked about Thunderbird and had some other questions, too:
Dear Terry,
Long-time subscriber Gordon Shaw wrote from the U.K. to ask about using a Windows XP hard drive that was installed on his new system:
Hi Terry,
Re Dave Drake's post in your latest Newsletter regarding his old XP hard drive I have a similar situation. I had a Desktop PC built for me last year the details as follows: […]
I received a question on my Terry's Computer Tips web site by a subscriber who was concerned about the End of Life of Windows XP.
In order to avoid having to make a major change, and since he was already using Windows 7 in addition to using Windows XP, his planned solution was to use the Windows XP Mode that is available in Windows 7 Professional.
Unfortunately, that name ("Windows XP Mode") is really misleading.> […]

I bought the Tiffany Rose ivory flutter dress for my recent wedding, at the time of which I was 6 months pregnant. I just want to say how thrilled I was with the dress! It made me feel confident and beautiful, while still being very comfortable. And all at a very affordable price. I got many compliments on my dress. I couldn't have been happier! It also arrived very quickly to Australia.

AiA's Top Future Tracks of 2015
As we say our farewells to 2015, we look back at all of the producers and songs that have come to change the scope of the EDM scene. EDM.com and The EDM Network continues to strive to be the world's foremost authority for finding new and exciting electronic dance music, so as our final gift to the year past, we will be highlighting 10 of the best performing tracks in each genre or style across our extensive music platform.
The future genre is an ambiguous one - there's no sample, synth, or vocal that represents its sound, nor is there a time period in which it inhabits. The future genre solely denotes "forward-thinking music", and artists in every genre have broken out of their shell and pushed these limits of their niches in the past year. Here's 10 of the best "future" tracks on AiA:
1. Fall Out Boy VS Didrick - Uma Thurman [EDM.com Premiere]
2. Skip Marley - Cry To Me (Ricky Mears Remix) [Premiere]
3. kitty - Miss U (Jai Wolf Remix)
4. Jetta - Take It Easy (Matstubs Remix) [Premiere]
5. Mike Stud - Closer (Unlike Pluto Remix)
6. Fossa Beats - U Know
7. Shake Shake Go - England Skies (Epic Empire Remix) [EDM.com Premiere]
8. Hex Cougar - Forever [EDM.com Exclusive]

There is a big divide between authors who outline their novels and those who don't and they both argue that theirs is the best way. In reality both camps have valid arguments for their method of approaching the art of story telling. Let's say I am going to go beyond their arguments and suggest we talk about structure instead of outline.
Structure is essential for both fiction and non fiction work. This was illustrated by a recent client of mine who writes about healing. She had been posting on Facebook little snippets about her case studies and wanted to write a book to empower people to heal themselves without an intermediary and share with them her protocol. As soon as she talked about her project, I had a very clear idea of how to structure her book. It made sense to her and has made her writing her book easily as she now just slots her writing into a pre-existing structure. She says this tool had been invaluable.
A great way to find a structure for your non fiction book is to brainstorm all the ideas that you want to include. Jot them down on paper. Then, organise them. I find mind maps very useful. To see examples of mind maps, click here. If you have never used a mind map and want to get started, I suggest Tony Buzan's book.
For fiction work, as mentioned above, the subject is more controversial. Some like to outline, some don't. At first, from hearing about the outline camp, I thought I was not part of their tribe as they claim to work on their plots for two to three months before even starting to write their book. But after reflecting for a while, I realised the divide was an illusion. Every writer outlines their story even if it's in their heads to some extent. Then some of them jot the ideas on a piece of paper whereas others formalise things more and go more in depth. For those who claim to properly outline their novels, who is to say that what they call an outline is not only one step away from someone else's first draft.
In view of the above, I have come to the conclusion that a little bit of planning can go a long way. It would be foolish to go on an adventure without any map at all, as after all, writing a book is about going from A to B. And some authors claim that the digressions are part of the journey. And to an extend they do, as long as they don't lead to a dead end, or bore your reader. The difference is whether you take an ordinance map with the finest details or a more general map to give you an idea.
What I write about books is also true for blogs. A successful blog has a purpose, a direction. Some call it a "stake" and you find out the stake of your blog or project by asking yourself how would you like it to change the world.
Most authors agree that whether or not you plot your book in advance, the biggest mistake is to rigidly stick to the map. The story or book (for non fiction) will evolve as you write because you will know the terrain. You will discover things that weren't on the map. And mostly it will be people. Your characters, once they come to life, will want to interfere with your plan. As their personalities deepen, it impacts the story and creates twists that no writer could anticipate. and for non fiction authors, it might be a while angle that you had not anticipated ahead of writing. Stay flexible. Your work becomes an entity of its own nice you start writing it. Collaborate. Don't resist.
To your creativity

We came to know a lot about Hideki Matsui in his decade in the MLB. The Japanese import was a power hitter who made two All-Star teams, hit almost 200 home runs (and over 500 in his professional career), and was the 2009 World Series MVP. Now that Godzilla is on the precipice of retirement, we speculate that he'll spend a lot of his down time burning through his Godzilla-sized porn collection.
Short of Ichiro, Matsui will probably go down as one of the strongest position players to travel across the Pacific to the major leagues. And while there will be time to celebrate Matsui, The Player, for now, we'd like to acknowledge Matsui, The Pornography Connoisseur.
As Deadspin's Tom Ley noted, Matsui affirmed in a Time magazine feature on him around the start of his MLB career in 2003 that he had a "much vaunted" porno collection that he would trade with writers. For some reason, this character quirk was swept under the rug until GQ uncovered it earlier in 2012 and revealed that Matsui's adult film collection is at 55,000, presumably because he wanted it to coincide nicely with his jersey number (at least that's what I would have done, instead I opted not to play professional baseball and also have the Internet).
From the Time piece:
And, of course, he likes to watch his much vaunted porno collection, tapes that he often trades with Japanese reporters. As one Japanese journalist put it, describing Matsui's affinity for such unique Japanese cultural institutions like the no-panties shabu-shabu in Japan, "Matsui is a horny guy. All of us are horny, more or less. But Matsui doesn't attempt to hide the fact." Yet another win for the Japanese Everyman.
HOW DID THIS GO UNREPORTED THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE CAREER? This is a man who owns 55,000 pornos! And he's Japanese, so you know he's got the weird shit (exclusively the weird shit). Unfortunately, his 55,000-video porn collection falls drastically short of the rest of the world's shared pornography collection, The Internet. But hey, some guys like to kick it old school, and I'm sure somewhere in Matsui's horde of X-rated flicks, there's bound to be something that hasn't eked out onto the Web yet.
Enjoy retirement, Hideki. And I mean really enjoy retirement.

Touch-screen, free-to-play Pokémon. It sounds like a license to print money, but Nintendo doesn't want anything to do with it.
Nintendo chief executive officer Satoru Iwata says that the gaming company isn't ready to release its popular titles on smartphones and tablets yet. That's despite the fact that its stock price fell 17 percent on the Tokyo Stock Exchange to 13,120 yen ($126) early this morning. Investors are bailing on the company after Nintendo revised its outlook from a full-year net profit of $530 million to a loss of $240 million late last week.
Iwata held a press conference on Friday, where he insisted he wouldn't resign and handled questions about releasing Nintendo games on smartphones. Several Japanese developers are making huge profits by releasing free-to-play titles on Android and iOS. A Pokémon-style release called Puzzle & Dragons was making nearly $4 million every day at certain points of 2013.
"The spread of smart devices does not spell the end of game consoles. It's not that simple," Iwata said in a press conference (as translated by The Wall Street Journal).
Instead, Iwata said that Nintendo needs to leverage smartphones to inform people about its games. That means Nintendo might release apps that tie into its titles, but it won't release original games for mobile platforms.
"It doesn't mean that we should put Mario on smartphones," said Iwata.
Nintendo's bleak situation is primarily due to the Wii U's performance. The company's latest home console isn't selling. As part of its revised outlook, Nintendo revealed that it now expects only to sell 2.9 million Wii Us for the year ending March 31. That's down from the 9 million that Nintendo originally expected to sell.
Gamers are instead flocking to the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems debuted in November, and both are selling better than their predecessors or the Wii U.
A bright spot for Nintendo is its 3DS handheld — although that still isn't selling quite as well as Nintendo predicted. The company originally predicted it would sell 18 million 3DS units for its fiscal year. That number is now down to 13.5 million. Despite its failures to sell as Nintendo expected, the 3DS was still the best-selling piece of gaming hardware for all of 2013 in the U.S.

Etoposide cancer treatment
Etoposide is a commonly-used chemotherapy drug derived from the toxin podophyllotoxin, found in Podophyllum peltatum, also known as the Mayapple, a North American plant. Etoposide has been in use as an anticancer agent for nearly three decades.
Drug profile
- Class: Topoisomerase II inhibitor
- Mechanism of action: Etoposide inhibits a specific enzyme in the cell that unravels DNA, causing the strands to break and leading to cell death.
- Treatment type: Chemotherapy
- US approval: 1983
- Synonyms: VePesid, Toposar, VP-16
- FDA Use-in-Pregnancy Rating: Category D
What Etoposide is effective for and why
Etoposide has many anti-cancer applications. It has been used to treat germ cell tumors, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, testicular cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, adrenocortical cancer, carcinoid tumors, brain cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Etoposide is featured in several combination chemotherapy regimens, chiefly for the lymphomas. These include CBV, CEP, I-VAC, BEAM, Dexa-BEAM, Mini-BEAM, Stanford V, BEACOPP, CEVD, CAPE/PALE, EPOCH, ESHAP, ICE and R-ICE.
Etoposide is a commonly used component of preparative salvage regimens given to patients prior to undergoing bone marrow transplantation.
Etoposide side effects: Overview
While each patient will have his or her own experiences with the side effects of etoposide, most patients will likely experience myelosuppression (leukopenia), and those receiving oral etoposide are more prone to experience nausea and/or vomiting than those receiving the drug by IV. Otherwise, patients may endure flu symptoms, loss of appetite, increased heart rate, fatigue, skin rash, and possibly some hair loss. Most if not all of these side effects should subside when one is finished with receiving etoposide. Patients are encouraged to report all side effects to their oncologist or oncology team.
Additionally, secondary cancers—in the form of acute myeloid leukemia—have been reported and closely associated with etoposide.

Know what I love about swim trunks?
What a great idea! They build undiepants right into swim trunks! They always have, haven't they? Now, I'll admit that this component is one of the reasons I never liked borrowing a friend's swim trunks when I was a kid.
"Russ of America, do you want to go swimming with the boys?"
"No. I didn't bring a bathing suit."
"That's okay, you can borrow Brian's. He's a little smaller than you, but they should fit."
"Eew!" I'd say. "The parts that my bathing suit covers are going to touch the bathing suit which cover the parts that HIS bathing suit covers. Eew! And because Brian is smaller than me, they're going to touch me even deeper in my bathing suit parts! Eew!"
Fair enough! You should never be forced to share pants with another person anyway. But otherwise, what a great idea! Why can't all pants have this stuff built in? Think of how much you'd save on undiepants. You could have one style of pants for dudes who like boxers, one style for dudes who like briefs, boxer-briefs, jock straps, girdles, banana hammocks… whatever! Even granny webbing or boy short webbing or itty-bitty thongy webbing for girly pants! Bing!
Okay, I'll admit that maybe it's a little inefficient for clothing manufacturers to have to make fifteen different styles of pant based on different cuts of that webbing. Fair enough! So why not sell a bunch of different styles of undiepants made from that awesome webbing? That stuff is fan-freaking-tastic! It's light, it's breezy, it's supportive and it feels nice against your fully waxed genitals. I'd love to challenge fashion designers like RayRayUSA to take some initiative and start making some sexy fashions happen with this versatile and awesome swimsuit webbing!
Fair enough?

Guest Blogger: Marley's Mutts
By Zach Skow
I have rescued dogs that have been shot, stabbed, set on fire, beaten and starved within an inch of their lives. They all have amazing stories and have all survived to thrive! Our most recent harrowing story belongs to Shadow, whose name speaks of her dark past but also her undying loyalty.
Shadow's Story begins with a phone call on December 5th from Officer Ashley of Kern County Animal Services. The tone in her voice was ominous and distressing. She told me that hikers had found 3 large dogs stuffed into a single-dog-crate, way off the beaten path, in the foothills above Ridgecrest. One dog was clearly dead and frozen, and the two survivors where injured but alive. The only clues as to their origin were from anonymous tire tracks that led away from the scene. Temperatures had neared single digits the previous night and we weren't sure how long they had been out there, therefore it wasn't clear if the deceased dog had frozen to death, died from exposure or succumbed to other injuries.
Ashley asked for us to help save them, we of course obliged and met the two dogs the following day at the Lake Isabella Animal Shelter. The shelter staff had given them new names– Shadow (girl) and Clancy (boy)– but they needed new everything: new confidence, renewed faith, new love, new lives. Their transformation and renaissance began that day at the shelter. The dogs had shown some fear aggression, and aside from that were virtually petrified. Each of them had sustained serious injury, both mental and physical, which had obviously created a posttraumatic stress disorder scenario. Their souls had nearly been sucked from their bodies and they needed an infusion of confidence, which could only be delivered by a Pack Leader, someone with confidence who, leading by example, would show them that they had nothing to fear. I would become their pack leader and with some simple leash training techniques, would allow them to shed their fear and look upon life with a sense of comfort. Neither of those dogs wanted to budge from their kennels and were poised to strike. I treat their growls as simple noise and their body language as impotent posturing. My goal is to get a leash around their neck as quickly as is safe and pull them out of the kennel with authority: they will not go on their own accord and giving them treats to try coax them and soften the situation not only didn't work but got the other dogs riled-up. Once the leash is in place we turn and go—it's that simple. We don't walk but trudge with the dog moving at our pace regardless. Trudging is to walk with purpose and with this simple demonstration of confidence in direction; the dogs begin to let down their guard and see the world again for the first time! Trudging with a dog is a crucial first step towards liberating a dog from fear. By dominating the situation with my confident body language, steadfast and deliberate movements and "won't take no for an answer" attitude, it was just a matter of time before they were walking on a leash and had sense of freedom without fear, even love.
The next step was to load up in the Motor City Mutt Mobile and make our way to San Joaquin Veterinary Hospital (SVH) to have the dogs examined. San Joaquin is a critical ally in this fight for several reasons, not the least of which is that we can show up at virtually anytime during business hours and see our dogs immediately. Doc Willis determined that the wounds were superficial, not life threatening but took an x-ray of Clancy just to be sure. X-rays were clear and our pups would heal for a few days at San Joaquin before coming to the rescue for rehab. The staff at San Joaquin, led by our pal Andrea Bertolucci, knew exactly how to care for dogs that are going through a both physical and mental rehab. If we were to take Shadow and Clancy from the kennels of the shelter to the kennels of the vet and leave it at that, they could regress and even get socially more uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. At SJVH they receive a level of care that allows them to heal mentally, physically and even socially and that makes all of the difference! Both dogs continued to improve and were then ready for their transition to the rescue. Shadow came to live with me and Clancy at a foster home up the street. Shadow became, well, my shadow and there wasn't much that we didn't do together! We are training to run the Chicago Marathon again and Shadow routinely accompanied me on 4-5 miles jaunts.
After being my Shadow for nearly two months, our girl was adopted by a wonderful man named Robbie and his Mom, Lisa. This was an especially magical pairing because Robbie was from the same age as me, from the same neighborhood as me but had recently been released from prison after 12 years of incarceration. A reformed and gentle soul, Robbie was looking for a friend with whom he could continue his own spiritual rehabilitation. He found his soul mate in Shadow and she found the same in him. Both Robbie and Shadow needed help adjusting to a world that is scary and daunting but together it was all-possible. Undoubtedly, these two would walk a peaceful path together, back into a world that once had shown them only violence.
After a few weeks of blissful bonding between Robbie and Shadow, Robbie called me, and with controlled panic in his voice said, "Bro, I don't know what to do. Shadow is coughing up blood." We immediately sent Shadow to the hospital for x-rays and blood work. The x-rays revealed what none of us could imagine: Shadow had been shot some months earlier and had a large caliber bullet lodged in her chest. When the following morning came and her condition had worsened, the Mutt Militia kicked it into high gear! Holly and Rick – a couple of our most dedicated foster parents – volunteered to fly Shadow from Lake Isabella to as near to LA as possible, while I reached far and wide over the phone. I was referred to a hospital that is primed to deal with the kind of extremely specialized emergency surgery Shadow would need, albeit incredibly expensive. We got a Fundrazr.com page up and running, plastered it all over the social-mediasphere, and generous pledges from across the globe started pouring in. I was en route to Bakersfield from down South, and so flipped U-turn after the Grapevine and headed to Agua Dulce Airport. I met Holly, Rick and Shadow on the tarmac, swapped our burned puppy, Chance, for Shadow, and hit the road at the speed of life! Less than 45 minutes later, we arrived at VCA All Care Animal Hospital in West Los Angeles, where our brave girl would be seen by a leading specialist who was well qualified to help save her life. And by early the next morning, she and her team had removed a .40 caliber slug from Shadow's body, along with one of the lobes of her lung.
Against all odds, including a severe bleed during surgery, Shadow survived!!! We needed to raise nearly 15k which seemed at first to be folly, or at least unattainable, but astonishingly we raised nearly 10k in a just a few days! Kern County stepped up the most (as usual) sending in donations from over 200 people. Shadow's story reached far and wide as donations poured in from over a dozen states and a handful of countries.
Shadow is home now with Robbie and on the mend. She will make a full recovery and both she and Robbie will help us give back by touring Kern County and telling their story. We can tolerate these atrocities if we make effort to learn from them and to teach about them.

Unanswered: how to read exported files?
Anybody help ?
How can I translate export file with IXF format to DEL format or other regulate format file ? Because our source platform is AS400 with DB2 7.2 which can't export to DEL format file. And current system will not use DB2 database any more.
Thank you in advance...

Install DB2 Express-C, then import the IXF file and subsequently export it in the delimited format. Or, if you are into that kind of thing, you can write your own conversion utility - the IXF file format is documented in the manuals.---
"It does not work" is not a valid problem statement.

Appreciate your advice I am really a fresher in DB2 domain, not quite sure any simpler way to process this translation. at present, I try to redirect to query to Unix file. Unfortunately, I dunno how to specify the delimiter, as you know, query result always delimit by space, can I use another delimiter ?
By the way, we can use || to concatenate two column, but if one column = null, the whole record is null which is not allowed in requirement.
Any advice?

Director Rajesh seems to be on a roll. He recently sat down with Karthi and narrated his script to the Kollywood heartthrob. As a matter of fact the actor was so impressed with the script that he readily agreed to take up this interesting project with the Director.
The news comes after Red Giants Movies producer Udhayanidhi Stalin decided to test his acting skills under the director after watching Rajesh's Boss Engira Bhaskaran .Both of them are busy shooting the flick Nanbenda which will feature princess Shruti Haasan opposite Udhayanidhi.
Now is it going to be Tamannaah for the opposite lead in this forthcoming Karthi starrer?

Alleging that Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Veronica Garcia is acting without considering all the facts, the New Mexico Public Education Department accused Garcia of "choosing to create fear" by discussing the possible closure of two elementary schools.
Garcia told SFR before Tuesday's school board meeting that the characterization was "insulting" and that the facts show increased funding from the state barely gets the school district back to the funding levels it had before going into the current school year.
She said Santa Fe schools are in a funding crisis, just like other districts across the state that have decided to cut programs, positions or pay.
"Are we all lying? Are we all trying to create fear? I don't think so," Garcia said. "What value would there be for us in doing that?"
The district is currently studying the possibility of closing EJ Martinez and Nava elementary schools in the 2017-18 school year. Nava would be repurposed as an alternative high school campus. EJ Martinez, which sits near the Christus St. Vincent Medical Center at Galisteo Street and San Mateo Road, is a property that could likely earn the district a pretty penny if it were sold. Students who attend the schools would be redistricted into other elementary schools that have space.
Last week, the state told districts it expected to be able to provide more money through a 1.86 percent boost to a key number used to calculate district funding. Garcia told SFR from the PED-sponsored budget briefing that the increase might replace some of the money the district lost as lawmakers twice adjusted that number—called "unit value"—downward in an effort to balance the budget as the economy faltered.
Tuesday night, the superintendent said that after running the numbers with SFPS financial staff, the district's best-case scenario was a $300,000 gain. But on Wednesday, district staff clarified that the gain was only compared to the funding cuts made in last fall's special session. When held up against the cuts from the recent legislative session and against the rest of the district's proposed budget, that gain evaporates, and the best-case scenario becomes a $2.74 million shortfall.
In addition to closing schools, which might save $1.3 million, the district has looked at potential savings such as cutting administrative expenses, the number of coaches and meals allowed for athletics programs, and salaries for principals. Even with a $2.74 million budget hole to dig itself out of, the district's current plan continues a policy of picking up increases in insurance premiums instead of passing them on to teachers.
"There are no good choices," Garcia said of the budget scenarios on Tuesday.
Much of the planning can't be solidified until after a legislative special session officially sets funding levels. That session has been promised by the governor but not yet scheduled.
"I don't care how many different ways they want to change this with smoke and mirrors," she said. "We'll stick to the facts."
But the Public Education Department stuck by its assessment that the district's discussion of closing Nava and EJ Martinez was premature.
"Instead of carefully considering the facts, Superintendent Garcia is choosing to create fear," said PED spokeswoman Amy Hasenberg in a statement emailed to SFR. "The district is failing to take into account added revenues for the 2017-2018 school year. We encourage the district to reevaluate based on these numbers before closing schools. As a former Secretary of Education, we expect Superintendent Garcia to understand this process and to not take closing a school lightly. Her decision, as it currently stands, is not fully formed and New Mexican students deserve better."
The SFPS Board of Education was set to discuss the school closures at its regular board meeting Tuesday night. Meetings at each of the elementary schools are planned this week as well. The board will consider redistricting plans next week and could decide on final action by early May.
This article has been updated with further details about SFPS budget projections.

One of the first photo projects I thought of submitting to Dreamstime was the life cycle of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly. When I saw the caterpillars devouring my parsley in the backyard, I knew I had to take the photo opp.
The worm was alien to me, so I had to do some online research. As soon as I was able to identify it, the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, I typed up the keywords and submitted my best shot to Dreamstime. The photo was accepted! I was so excited!
Several days later, I revisited the parsley and there was a cocoon! Again, I snipped the cocooned twig off and propped it for a shoot. After taking a few frames, I put the twig inside a glass jar and covered it with netting material, just in case the butterfly comes out when I'm not watching. I captured a few more frames. Dreamstime accepted these photos too. All I had to do was wait for the butterfly to emerge, so that I could complete my life cycle.
My online research told me that this butterfly usually emerges in about two weeks. This particular one emerged after almost two months – I was getting anxious that I might have killed it. Because I checked on the cocoon at least twice a day, I immediately noticed the butterfly just a few minutes after it emerged, so I was able to do a photo shoot before it was ready to fly away (too bad I missed the actual breakout from the cocoon).
I took photos of the butterfly while it was still inside the jar because I wasn't sure how soon it would be able to fly. Then I slowly removed the netting and pulled out the twig with the butterfly clinging to it. For several minutes, the Swallowtail just held on to the twig, waiting for its wings to fully unfurl.
I gently turned the twig so that I could get a better angle (I used a stand with an alligator clip to hold the twig). The butterfly was sensitive to movement so whenever it felt threatened, it spread its wings. It was tricky, trying to capture the open wings, because the butterfly would display for just a few seconds. I had to coax it to open up and I had to use continuous shooting to grab the exact moment of the full spread.
When I finally had several frames to choose from, I put the twig and the butterfly out in the garden so that it can flutter away and do whatever it is butterflies do. It flew away after an hour. As to my butterfly photos, yes, Dreamstime accepted them!
A month later, I saw a different caterpillar – the Giant Swallowtail. On our citrus tree this time. But that will be another story, and a different photo shoot.


text:
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD ~ Psalm 139:1-4
There is something within us that longs to be recognized. Something that wants others to notice when we walk into the room. We want to be known, to be special, to be significant. We want to matter.
It's how we were created. We do matter to El Shaddai, the Almighty God. He notes our comings and goings, our sittings and risings, our every breath. He knows us so well that before we even speak, our God knows what we are going to say. To Him, we are so important He not only sent His only Son to die in our stead (while we were still sinners ~ Rom 5:8), He also places a piece of Himself in the heart of every follower ~ the Holy Spirit. We are so significant God the Father marks our every breath, God the Son sacrificed Himself for us, and God the Holy Spirit lives within these dilapidated vessels of flesh.
Yet, we (as flesh) junk it up, don't we? We fail to revel in the wonder that is the Trinity delighting in us; and we begin, ever so slightly, to desire more earthly outlets. We want people to know our name. We want our deeds to be noted, complimented, and spoken about to others. We want our face to be recognizable, even in select groups. We crave attention from our peers, our superiors, those whom we respect. We start to keep lists (perhaps mentally, perhaps not) of what we've done for whom. We notice when someone whom we consider inferior latches onto our goals, makes them their own. We become jealous of others' attentions and opportunities. And slowly that feeds bitterness, sows discontent and disillusionment with our calling. And we try to manipulate what isn't ours to control. We use relationships to get what we want; we seek our relationships purely for selfish reasons. We look for ways to get noticed by the powers-that-[seemingly]-be. We push and strive against the dreaded invisibility.
And however noble the cause, whatever good our actions bring about, whatever friendships spring from all of this, our hearts are in the wrong. We are sinning. Granted, God can and will use any situation to bring about His will; however, if we focus on His will instead of our personal celebrity, His name is glorified. And that's the point, isn't it?
So I'll ask, imaginary reader, hoping you realize this inquiry stems from my own internal search: what makes you a celebrity? Is it the people you know or who know you? Is it the shiny, new ministry with which you're heavily involved? Is it who greets you when you enter a room, who visits your house? Or is it, simply, the Trinity: God the Father as your Master, God the Son as your Savior, and God the Holy Spirit as your constant Counselor?
Because, when all is tested with fire, the only thing that won't be consumed is the latter. And that's the point. Not your celebrity, but HIS.

?Remonstrance petition against proposed Morgan Elementary School project filed June 11
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 09 July 2008 00:00
?A petition filed June 11 in the Harrison County Clerk's office to block the renovation project concerning Morgan Elementary School near Central Barren has been verified with 121 valid signatures. The petition drive was led in part by North Harrison Classroom Teacher's Association president Greg Rupp.
The administration is still proceeding with the project for now, according to North Harrison Supt. Dr. Phil Partenheimer, "If the board approves to go forward, we'll see who can get the most signatures."
If the North Harrison Board of School Trustees does decide to move forward, there will be a 30 day "cooling off period", in which both sides simply let the matter lie, without any petitions being circulated by either side. Dr. Partenheimer said the cooling off period would probably be from the July board meeting to the August board meeting.

Hi all,
what do you think about this 'full outer join'. Is it ok, or wasting time?

In Training for Air Scent
BlackJack is a 2.5 year old Lab/Australian Shepherd mix. He has been in training for Search and Rescue for over a year and is currently training to be a certified airscent dog. BlackJack's strong drive and willing-to-please nature has been key in his training progression and will make him an excellent search dog. His keen intellect allowed him to be the youngest dog to pass a CGC test at just 2 months old, while his overbounding energy and endurance allows him to work without rest for hours on a problem until the subject is found. He was rescued from the back of a pickup truck in Yoder, Colorado when he was just 6 weeks old. BlackJack's favorite activity outside of Search and Rescue is herding barn cats, horses, and chickens.

He also included the photo below of his mother standing in front of her stoop in 1999.
Thanks, Francis, and keep those glorious Carroll Gardens memories coming.

Mothers Day Coloring Pages free for your Sunday School children to enjoy.
These printable coloring pages (10 pages) for Mothers Day below are free for your Sunday School children or children at home to enjoy and color and give to their special mom on Mothers Day.
Your children will enjoy giving these coloring pages as a Mothers Day gift along with their Mothers Day card. There is nothing more special for a mom than to receive these special gifts from the heart on Mothers Day.
Often times, at the Mothers Day church services, Pastors will use Proverbs 31 to help teach the importance of the role of a mother and women in general in this society, and what God expects of our mothers in their daily lives. In Proverbs, the ideal mother is one who honors and fears God, loves her children and husband, looks after the needs of the less fortunate and maintains her home very well. You could incorporate this theme into your Mothers Day activities to add some meaningful fun to your day.
The Sunday School children can help tribute on Mothers Day. Invite all your church's mothers to Sunday School where the students will prepare and recite poems that will show and state their love for their mothers with specific reasons of why they feel their love for their mother. You can also have them give their mothers a corsage to wear during the church service and throughout the entire day.
The children in your Sunday School class will enjoy these Mothers Day activities such as the coloring pages below while thinking about their special mother on Mothers Day.

Yea, I just wondered cause I tried out a ESP hack which works on 177 but it was all black screen when I tried it now then I just noticed there's a new patch
Ravens Weapon hack does still work!!!! Also pro perk unlocker does still work
Last edited by eeyaz; 01-22-2010 at 05:19 PM.
sucks since they JUST finished the weapon unlocker. buddy of mine was in the middle of leveling his guns up when they patched. Looking forward to the next update, but not rushing. Thanks again for the hard work.
Yep, seems they only patched the ESP (but who really knows)... the rest of the wonderful projects from this site all still work....
^ didn't try fiddle with the rest, no need ... the ESP is handy for a colorblind person like myself. back to having to sit around and eyeballing the screen like a crazy man haha.
We've updated the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, including the following fixes:

- Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and 'elevators'.
- Mouse latency tweaks for more mouse movement consistency. (PC-ONLY)
- Fixes to prevent various texture (PC-ONLY) and XP hacks.

Frank Thomas continued his onslaught on Southern League pitching Friday night in Birmingham, Ala., and he got a little help from an unexpected source. Aubrey Waggoner, a 5-foot-11-inch, 170-pound outfielder who is noted mostly for his speed-he hit just .228 for Birmingham last year-launched a grand slam home run to cap an eight-run fifth inning as the Barons, the White Sox`s Double-A affiliate, defeated Charlotte, a Cub farm club, 8-0.
Before Waggoner delivered his decisive blow, Thomas, the Sox`s No. 1 pick in last June`s amateur draft, belted a bases-loaded triple to break a scoreless tie.

NVIDIA GTS 5xx Guide
Okay, recently I bought a GTX560 Twin Frozr and rigged it onto my girl. She ran beautifully, but somehow she developed a tempermant not to run the following games :
1. VNs
3. Splinter Cell Conviction
I called up a few people with knowledge on this issue, and here is the compiled advice I am going to share :
1. Download the most stable driver, not the latest. Currently v285.26 runs nicely.
2. Get MSI Afterburner. Extract & install, then :
- Set clock speed to 822Mhz
- Check the "Apply overclocking at system startup" box
3. Restart your computer.
Afterwards, your CPU might not read all cores, so you have to shut down your computer, remove all but one of your RAM, then boot up. All your available cores should register, after which, you can power down your computer, put the RAM back in one by one as you boot it up, until all the RAM you have are back in their slots.
Hope NVIDIA comes up with a stable driver or hotfix soon. I suspect that it might be the new Fermi architecture that is causing all of these.
you have a Windows 7 64 bits? what version?
I think should wait new firmeware for this hardware, as is the new model, the manufacturer can update drivers and firmeware for this graphic card.
I recently bought an MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5 (with a two fan design similar to the Twin Frozors) a few months back. Aside from the rare "Driver Not Responding" even on the latest stable (WHQL) driver release, I haven't run into any issues with it and runs just about everything I've thrown at it quite well (perhaps except Serious Sam 3 BFE framerate-wise, but that's probably just my hardware configuration and playing on co-op servers with 200+ ping).
I'm currently using the 290.53 (Beta) drivers, which I haven't had much time to extensively test, but it seems to be running fine as well.
Though I have had issues trying to get MSI's Live Update 5 software to work (first time I tried, it didn't run at all. It works now, but I don't know if there's a newer BIOS available for my card, 70.24.21.00.00, since it doesn't show).
So the games you listed simply did not run at all? As in, did the process (e.g. left4dead2.exe) appear in the Task Manager? Or did it show up and instantly crash back to desktop? BSoD?
Nope. The games just crashed to desktop.

I'm at work. It's erev Pesach. I can't go home until the furniture store delivers the table to DP, because the bus doesn't run at non-peak times.
And I don't have my knitting with me.
I did find a crochet hook in my pencil jar, and I have the latest Interweave Crochet in my purse, so I may go into the arts & crafts cupboard, get some twine, and have at it.
But still.
In non-fiber related news, I washed my hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar and it actually worked this time! I'd tried it before, but with a paste of baking soda. It was hard to work through my hair and it didn't really feel clean. This time I took a tupperware container that I use for cookies (holds about 2 doz) and dumped about a quarter cup of baking soda in the bottom. I filled it with hot water and mixed it up. I got in the shower, got my hair thoroughly wet, then poured about a half cup on my hair. I poured it on, sectioning my hair to make sure I got even coverage. Then I massaged my scalp and put my hair up in a clip while I finished the rest of my shower. I rinsed with hot water, then poured the acv over my hair, massaged it in, then rinsed in cold water. It took much less time to do than it seems from typing all of this out :) It got rid of the buildup from the water softener, and best of all made my hair feel clean.
Off to the cupboard...
