Miami Hurricanes No. 15 in polls after Savannah State victory
By Matt Porter
After doing what was expected — rolling over Savannah State — Miami is 3-0 and ranked No. 15 in both major polls. Here's the breakdown:
Associated Press top 25
After a 77-7 win over the Tigers, which have lost their last three games against FBS teams by a 216-7 score (!), Miami jumped one spot to No. 15.
UM leapfrogged Michigan, which posted a 24-21 win over UConn that was hardly impressive. The Wolverines (4-0) fell behind by two touchdowns in the third quarter against winless Huskies (0-4).
Oklahoma, which was on a bye, remained at No. 14.
Elsewhere around the ACC: Clemson, the top-ranked team in the conference, held at No. 3 … Florida State stayed at No. 8 … Georgia Tech earned 30 votes … Maryland received 24 … Virginia Tech picked up four … Future ACC member Louisville held at No. 7.
In-state: Florida, also on a bye, dropped one spot to No. 20 … UCF earned 19 votes.
Notable: Top-ranked Alabama earned all but four first-place votes. Those votes went to No. 2 Oregon … There was no movement among the first 12 teams in the poll.
USA Today coaches' poll
Miami moved up two spots to No. 15.
ACC: Clemson held at No. 4 … Florida State remained at No. 8 … Georgia Tech (47) received more votes than any unranked team … Maryland, which is 4-0, earned 11 votes … Virginia Tech had 3 … The voters didn't think much of 2014 ACC addition Louisville's blowout win over FIU. The Cardinals' 72-0 win moved them down one spot to No. 7.
In-state: Florida dropped one spots to No. 19 … UCF received 35 votes, the second-most of the unranked teams.
Notable: Alabama earned all but three first-place vote … No. 2 Oregon earned three first-place votes … Arizona State (2-1) and Michigan State (3-1) dropped out … Hurricanes coach Al Golden is one of 62 FBS coaches who vote in the poll.
* * *
The Hurricanes, who are 3-0 for the first time since 2004, play their first road game on Saturday at South Florida (noon, ESPNU). USF is 0-4 with losses to Florida Atlantic, Michigan State and FCS opponent McNeese State.

Dubrovnik (Croatian pronunciation: [dǔbrɔ̝ːv̞nik]) (Italian: Ragusa), is a Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea coast positioned at the terminal end of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Adriatic, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva county, 600km from Soko Banja. Its population was 43,770 in 2001,[1] down from 49,728 in 1991.[2] In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, also known as a Maritime Republic (together with Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa, Venice and other Italian cities), it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

8/31/2014Awesome!😃 But it is to much money.😞
8/28/2014Update please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8/27/2014Game crashes on me alot I would've given it 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
8/26/2014please update and give more new plane and make it free same as asphalt8
8/23/2014Why have you guys not updated the WP version? I wouldn't recommend buying it purely for the fact that it's never updated!
8/21/2014For those of you who are asking for updates. I spoke with the developers, when Microsoft switched from 7 -8 they redid the software to a point that the developers would have to create an entirely new game. There probably will not be any updates for the windows phones anymore. Still the best simulator on here though.
8/18/2014Have not received an update for more than year.At first pls update to WP 8/8.1 .Why are you developers not giving updates to Windows Phone?But keep the game in the store.

In 1986, Tod Colbert opened Weather Tight Milwaukee, putting his focus, unlike many home-improvement outfits, on bolstering homes' exteriors to improve the living conditions inside. More than a quarter of a century later, the company has helped more than 15,000 clients, and Colbert's concept is still going strong. Clients can replace regular windows with energy-efficient panes that stave off extreme temperatures with multiple layers of reflective coating. The company's capable technicians can also install doors insulated with polyurethane foam, and roofing that resists ice to keep frozen slabs from sliding off the roof and denting cars or bullying helpless recycling bins.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.
Most of K Komfort's technicians and engineers draw on more than a quarter-century of experience in improving indoor air quality and lowering energy bills. Having witnessed the evolution of heating and cooling technology, the crew deftly repairs old furnaces and installs efficient, new air-conditioner systems with techniques learned in NARI continuing-education programs. HEPA-approved equipment clears ductwork of pesky particles that cause asthma, allergies, and dinnertime interruptions by nuclear physicists, and filtration systems help maintain fresh air once technicians are out of the picture. Their preferred brand is Carrier, but the service truck is stocked with a library of parts from other manufacturers so maintenance often can be completed in one visit.
The technicians at O & W Heating and Cooling LLC keep homes from transforming into desolate tundra or deserts in the winter and summer by maintaining heating and cooling systems of all brands. As dealers of Payne, Crown, and Rinnai systems, the team can also outfit unequipped homes with the furnaces, boilers, and water heaters necessary to not only keep rooms comfy in the winter months but to allow customers to transform their living room into a sauna. Not content to dabble only in the heating and cooling arts, techs also handle plumbing, refrigeration, and appliance repair, allowing homeowners to keep their toasters working and their nonworking toasters feeling ashamed of themselves.
It was supposed to be an ordinary day of shopping for Dan Wolt. But at some point between flipping through hangers and carrying duds to the fitting room, a cartoon light bulb materialized above his head. "Buying windows," he said, as the idea alchemized in his brain, "Should be as simple as buying clothes from a local boutique." At the time, Dan was working for a window company dominated by high-pressure sales tactics and long presentations. He could tell customers felt stressed. So after his epiphany, Dan went home and founded Zen Windows, a window- and door-installing business whose signature is its relaxed, user-friendly style.

I want my cocoa application to run with its owner as root.
How can i dot this?
Jul 30, 2009, 01:49 AM
I want my cocoa application to run with its owner as root.
How can i dot this?
If you want to run as root, you are risking extreme damage to the system of the user. So you better have a very, very good reason to do this. Please explain what you want to achieve by running as root user.
Jul 30, 2009, 07:31 AM
I want to enter a key value pair in Loginwindow.plist file in library/preferences to set my application at startup for all users.
Therefore, i need to run it as root user.
Please help !
Jul 30, 2009, 08:07 AM
You don't need to run as root to do this, you need to use Authorization Services (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/conceptual/authorization_concepts/01introduction/introduction.html) and perform this one task with escalated permissions.
Aug 10, 2009, 04:36 AM
I am using authorization services .
Done following steps:
AuthorizationRef myAuthorizationRef;
OSStatus myStatus;
myStatus = AuthorizationCreate (NULL, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults,
//set up rights and request authorization
AuthorizationItem myItems[1];
myItems[0].name = "com.mycompany.myapp";
myItems[0].valueLength = 0;
myItems[0].value = NULL;
myItems[0].flags = 0;
AuthorizationRights myRights;
myRights.count = sizeof (myItems) / sizeof (myItems[0]);
myRights.items = myItems;
AuthorizationFlags myFlags;
myFlags = kAuthorizationFlagDefaults | kAuthorizationFlagInteractionAllowed |
myStatus = AuthorizationCreate (&myRights, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment,
myFlags, &myAuthorizationRef);
//// What else to do now so as to run this .app as root user.
Please help!!
I have studied a lot but not getting what is desired.
Aug 10, 2009, 05:46 AM
Please help!!
I have studied a lot but not getting what is desired.
You are getting what is desired by Apple and all Macintosh users, just not what _you_ desire. But nobody cares.
You seriously _don't_ want to run as a root user. If your application insists on running as root, running it on my computer at work would get me into very serious trouble with my boss, including a talk to Human Resources. Not that I would do it. If the grandchildren ran your application on the computer, it would get them into very serious trouble with me (like: Forever being banned from using my Mac).
It is typical when people don't listen:
A: I want to do X.
B: You really really don't want to do X. What are you trying to do?
A: I want to do X because I want to do Y.
C: Don't do X. In order to do Y, do these things...
A: I tried these things, but they don't let me do X.
At that point everyone pulls out their hair. Just do as Lee told you to change Loginwindow.plist.
Aug 10, 2009, 06:13 AM
ok i got your point. sorry.
But i dnt get escalated privileges anywhere. So i thought it might be same as root.
The code tht i have posted is of help or i just wasted my time writing it.
Please give some direction where to start for escalated privileges.
Aug 10, 2009, 06:27 AM
The only times I've ever used authorisation services I've always used a second executable (a command-line tool) embedded in the app to do the operation I wanted to execute with enhanced privileges. From memory this is what the documentation tells you to do and provides maximal security.
Aug 10, 2009, 06:31 AM
what is to be written in command line utility? Do i need to code same as above or something is missing.
Will it also make my application trusted?
Aug 10, 2009, 06:39 AM
what is to be written in command line utility? Do i need to code same as above or something is missing.

Read the documentation (03authtasks). You turn the results of the above into a serialised binary object and pass that to the helper tool (which as per the documentation can use the setuid bit to run as root).
Why are you not checking the return value (myStatus). It's possible that the user is not being authorised...
Aug 10, 2009, 06:56 AM
Thanks but the link is not working.
I am now totally confused. how to turn into binary.
everything getting messy.
Just to make my application trusted involves so much complicity?
can u explain me step by step? what i need to do.
Aug 10, 2009, 07:13 AM
Sorry, link is http://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/conceptual/authorization_concepts/03authtasks/authtasks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000995-CH206-BCIGAIAG
And it shows you what to do. In all seriousness if you can't get it working with the documentation then you probably shouldn't be writing code that runs at this level as have root/admin rights is very dangerous.
Aug 10, 2009, 07:15 AM
what is to be written in command line utility? Do i need to code same as above or something is missing.
Will it also make my application trusted?
Let me put it like this: If you can't manage to go to developer.apple.com, and type in "authorization" into a search box, then I am sure that I don't want to run an application written by you as root, and I don't want an application written by you to be run every time my Macintosh is started.
You are trying to get into areas where any minor mistake can be a major security risk for people using your applications. If Apple's documentation is confusing you, then sorry, but you shouldn't be doing this. This is like someone asking advice how to install a gas fire at their home, or how to use a chain saw, or how to repair a microwave oven: If you have to ask for advice, then DON'T DO IT.
Aug 10, 2009, 07:21 AM
Thanks for your rude reply.
But i already told you i have read all about it. Doesn't it mean that i have read all these documentation.
Well Thanks for your support.
Its better to try and try by myself then wasting time to post queries expecting help.

Kyle's face darkened as his host did. He still had a smile lingering in his face, to make Miss Fortune feel better as well as himself.
"Ummm..... Sorry for bringing up the subject. Is there anything that I can do to make up that question?"
Suddenly, Kyle felt silky hands and the feeling of air rushing against him. He yelped then frowned as he realised that she had lifted him and that he is being pet by MF.
"Nope. Last time I checked, I was NOT cute. Now can you put me down?"

It just couldn't be clearer. "Amnesty International is opposed to the criminalization or punishment of activities related to the buying or selling of consensual sex between adults."
Looking at the research, it's hard to argue for abstinence-only sex education anywhere. The relative rates of unwanted pregnancy and STD transmission between individuals who were in abstinence-only curricula and those who were in programs that taught FDA-approved methods of contraception speak strongly in favor of the latter. Teenagers in abstinence-only programs wait no longer than individuals in more comprehensive programs to begin having sex, but they are 50 percent more likely than their counterparts to become pregnant as teenagers.

Gracie Passette's insight:
MUMBAI: In a first of its kind move, the ministry of women and child in state launched the policy on women with a dedicated chapter on issues faced by sex workers. The policy which was launched by chief minister PrithvirajChavan last week speaks of better access to health, education and other development programmes for women.
"Besides looking at various concerns that face women, it is for the first time that the policy has also considered issues and opinions of those women who are the most marginalised and suffer exclusion," Chavan had said while addressing a gathering in Pune to launch the policy.

Nearly all of the buzz around NinersNation in relation to the NFL draft seems to be that the team may be or should be trading up in the 1st round. Some have posited reasonable trades into the early 20s, while others have submersed themselves in the murky waters of going-for-broke and trading up into the top 5. There are also the folks advocating for a move to a spot between #10 and #20, citing recent rumors about the Baltimore Ravens looking to move back from #17, or even dredging up the ghost of 2013's trade with the Dallas Cowboys, hoping for an encore performance that yields the 49ers pick #16. Everyone seems to have their favorite player who inexplicably seems to be just out of reach to the Niners at their default #30 spot in the 1st round. I can relate to this sentiment as my draft sights have been fixated on CB Jason Verrett for some time now, and he may not be available at #30.
But what if Baalke, in typical ninja fashion, doesn't do what many of us believe (or hope) he's going to do? What if the draft ninja hasn't fallen in love with a player enough to trade up? What if he instead has become enamored with the depth of this draft and decides to trade back? What could that look like?
For a few days now I've been trying to work out a realistic scenario of trading back from #30 that would yield the 49ers an attractive haul in rounds 2 and 3. I believe that I've accomplished that task. In order to make this happen, I used the Jimmie Johnson trade value chart, so whether you believe that chart accurately describes the parameters for trade value will most likely determine whether you think my trade values are coherent or not. Without further ado, I give you my trades with their point totals and explanations for why I believe the trades are reasonable.
First Trade:
49ers #30 (620) + #94 (124) + #170 (23.4) + #242 (1) for Vikings #40 (500) + #72 (230) + #108 (78)
In this trade, the Niners get the point advantage as the totals come to 768.4 VS. 808. We'll call that 40 point difference a convenience/desperation charge. Last year, the Vikings made a similar exchange with the Patriots to move up to #29 to select WR Cordarrelle Patterson. I'm assuming that the Vikings will not select a QB at #8 and will want to jump ahead of the teams who are in front of them in the beginning of the 2nd round. They can select their targeted QB at #30 after this trade.
Second Trade:
49ers #72 (230) + #108 (78) + 245 (1) for Colts #59 (310)
In this trade, the Niners point total comes to 309 while the Colts point total is 310. Indianapolis has only 5 picks total in this draft, so I think they're primed for moving back to pick up additional picks.
After those two trades, the Niners would have #40, #56, #59, and #61 in the 2nd round, with #77 and #100 in the 3rd round being retained. They would keep #129 in the 4th round and one of their 7th rounders. With those selections, here's what a mock draft could look like.
40: WR Jordan Matthews
56: SS Deone Bucannon
59: DE/OLB Marcus Smith
61: DE Kareem Martin
77: CB Jaylen Watkins
100: C Travis Swanson
129: LB Kevin Pierre-Louis
243: ?
My selections come with the assumption that the 49ers retain RB LaMichael James as their PR/KR and therefore don't need to go after a returner. I believe that the players here are selected at or close to where they are being represented in a conglomeration of ranking systems and mock drafts. No grossly inaccurate draft simulators were used (or harmed) in the making of this mock draft. I've attempted to address a blend of immediate needs and future needs in the next couple of seasons that are linked to pending contracts and the increasing age of players.
So what do you folks think? Does this possibility make trading back look more attractive? Are there players you would prefer over the ones I have here in this mock? Are there other trading back scenarios that you believe would be more advantageous?

Carrnal Knowledge (Season 2)
I'm really annoyed at the CW or wjhoever for making another hiatus! Its like 4 weeks this time, right? Or that's what I heard. It so annoying-they better pull their act together or else they'll lose viewers. I never know when it's gonna be on! Why can it never be consistent like usual? Why is it happening? It means we have to wait weeks for just the PROMO for goodness' sake!!
I am getting increasingly irritated
Ok, so i'm kind of on dan's side. i dont think he should have gone that far with ms. carr, but i cant believe that serena would let blair have that picture! she's supposed to be his girlfriend! serena could have at least talked to him before letting a picture partly destroy his future!! one thing's for sure though- blair is going to MURDER nelly yuki. same nelly whose chances of getting into yale she ruined.
Oh, I just have to say I love the Ms Carr and dan story line. The final sean when he comes to her and wanna be the responsible one and she just... It made the whole episode. Finally something that would actually happen (or even if it won't it fits perfectly with my fantasy idea of where everything is a bit more quirky in a bit more cool and glamourous way. And it certainly put some much needed spice to the show. So go quirky please writers!

Imagine for a moment diving into the ocean, resurfacing with not only memories of the sub-aquatic environment, but a full reel of photographs, too. Underwater photography is just one of the many courses offered at Scuba Quest, a family-owned company that has shown students how to safely explore the seas for more than 25 years.
Scuba Quest began as a single shop, but has since spread to six locations across the state of Florida. At each, the company's NAUI-certified instructors lead refresher courses, beginner classes, and comprehensive certification programs. Rather than climbing into fish tanks while pet-store clerks are on break, Scuba Quest's students can put their new skills to the test in unfamiliar waters during the company's exotic diving excursions around the globe.
Each Eye Doctor?s Optical Outlets location is doctor-owned, uniting the staff with a common vision to sharpen sight and boost eye health. Eye examinations reveal prescriptions and uncover any other ocular problems. After patients choose a new set of lenses, the in-house technicians get to work crafting them in the shop?s own lab rather than sending them off to be made during a summer camp?s arts and crafts day. Sundry designer frames border eyes in looks from Giorgio Armani and Marc Jacobs to Nike and Harley Davidson, and there is usually a trio of technicians in the shop, enabling multiple clients to summon help with a single pigeon call.
Certified personal trainer, Carrie Kukuda, pulls from her own weight-loss and exercise trials when coaching her students through kettlebell, boot-camp, or personal-training sessions. Her 45- to 60-minute boot-camp classes motivate exercisers through kettlebell training, TRX resistance work, running, and yoga moves to tone muscles and jump-start heart rates. In addition to exercise, nutrition guidance leads patrons in slimming down with heart-healthy and energizing meals that eschew bacon-wrapped donuts stuffed in bacon-wrapped donuts. Throughout all programs, Carrie inspires participants to soldier on with endless positive motivation and fitness tips for all types of students.
Soft candlelight and soothing music waft through Body Angels Spa as licensed massage therapists and aestheticians pamper, calm, and beautify visitors in rooms modeled after a sultan's quarters. Individual clients, couples, and their strictly platonic imaginary friends sink into private treatment rooms during massages that refresh tired muscles with techniques such as cupping—the placement of warm, aromatic basalt stones atop zones of tension. Aestheticians sculpt nails, wax away unwanted hair, and refurbish faces with PCA skincare products. Airbrush artisans turn down skin's white balance during spray tans.
Stop bumming tooth cleanings from the guy who scrubs the elephant tusks at the zoo with today's deal: an exam including a new-patient consultation (a $71 value), x-rays (a $64 value), and a basic cleaning (a $86 value) from David Bruck, DDS for $55 (a $221 combined value).Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
The relaxation mavens at Releaf Day Spa pamper visitors with a slew of sumptuous services and French, sea-based Phytomer products. Knead-needing anatomies can actualize with a one-hour relaxing and therapeutic massage, which uses an array of techniques to leave bodies stress-free, newly limber, and humming like a lawnmower over AstroTurf (a $65 value). Continued therapy can help boost circulation and immune-system security.

It seems to have started off with the Daily Star (a site whose writing is one that should be taken with a grain of salt) reporting that Wii Fit had turned a woman 'from Nintendo to nympho.' What has resulted are numerous sites reporting this story, continuing in the sensationalism, and blowing up a story which pairs a company known for its family friendly focus and cultural cachet with a hodge-podge of sex, gender, ableism, and all the baggage that normally comes with such in tabloid-esque reporting.
Amanda Flowers fell off her Wii Balance Board, damaging a nerve, and resulting in a prognosis from her doctor that she had acquired persistent sexual arousal syndrome. The difficulty here is that apparently PSAS and hypersexuality (more often called nymphomania and sometimes satyriasis) are not related–which makes the choice of headline ('Nintendo Wii Made Me Nympho!') already strange. This all then seems even more odd in the face of the final paragraph on the Daily Star article:
Single Amanda, 24, from Harpurhey, Manchester, said: "With no cure I just have to try to control my passion by breathing deeply. Hopefully one day I'll find a superstud who can satisfy me."
The credibility of the story, already on thin ice, seems suspicious. Were Flowers to have PSAS, her concern would likely have less to do with finding a superstud, and focusing more on every day travel that might trigger her syndrome, or any of a number of hassles and obstacles she would face in every day life. She's single, however, so the foremost concern is that she be paired with an appropriate mate.
At the same time, it is easy to see how this story has quickly spread and been reported by many in the exact same theme and sexual up-play. Our media seems to have a fascination with women who 'break from the mold' (most often to judge them). A woman who is constantly sexually aroused? She has to find a man to match her?
Gender essentialism dictates that women just are not as horny as men. In order for her to be so, apparently an accident must occur. Given our media's focus on still seeing women as baby factories, this is hardly surprising. What is on display is a sideshow, a freak circus that posits that something is abnormal, and us default, normal folk would be shocked and entertained by the story.
However, the story continues. Most people have been reporting the story verbatim, continuing this trend. The one site I have read who is suspicious (Kotaku), seems to indicate it is better than were she to have fallen off and received a physical injury. Because orgasms only equal good, wanted or not. I warn you off the comments (hopefully a given), which posit that now she knows what it's like to be a man (because all men are always sex-crazed, drooling idiots who can only think about their next orgasm–duh!). This story plays up the thought of undercutting the status quo by playing into all sorts of sexist assumptions.
If Amanda Flowers truly has this syndrome, I wish for her to find the best way to navigate her life, not for a 'superstud.'

Stunning. Tragic. Sad.
Those were my first thoughts when I heard about Madison Holleran's passing.
Why? Why? Why?
Those were my second thoughts.
I only covered Holleran for one soccer season during her junior year at Northern Highlands, when she played an instrumental role in the Highlanders first undefeated state championship run. What I remember was a bright girl with a passion for sport who was adored by her teammates for what she did and who she was both on the field and off the field.
Which makes her death by apparent suicide this past weekend even more stunning. Holleran seemingly had it all, seemingly possessed every trait a teenager would crave.
But Holleran's passing reminds us that no one is perfect, and even if they seem that way on the outside, things could be completely different on the inside. So take a moment today to ask your friend or family member or whoever you care about how they're doing. And don't just ask them today, follow up tomorrow and in the future as well. Ask them how they're feeling, if they're OK and take a moment to actually listen to their answer and give them feedback.
Suicide is never an easy topic to discuss. But those who talk about it don't do it. Those who keep it bottled up inside don't have a way to express themselves. Sometimes that leads to tragic results.
As part of the human race, we all have an obligation to make every effort to stop that from happening. Please, if you feel down and out or know someone who does, talk about it and don't let one decision define your life forever.
