Man has made many machines, complex and cunning, but which of them indeed rivals the workings of his heart?Pablo Casals
Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
My heart to you is given: Oh, do give yours to me; We'll lock them up together, And throw away the key.Frederick Saunders
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.Flavia Weedn
There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it.George Bernard Shaw
A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.Louis Nizer
You don`t judge a team by its record, but its heart and tenacity, two things you either have or you don`t have.Reggie Sanders
His tenacity is unmatched in my opinion. Incredible how someone could have suffered that long and come back out of prison with such a good heart and positive things to say and do.Maurice Ashley
The sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.Lord Byron
And so, this Christmas season may our heart with gladness glow, As we read the blessed story that took place son long ago.Alpha L.Buntain
The earth has grown old with its burden of care. But at Christmas it always is young, The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair And its soul full of music breaks the air, When the song of angels is sung.Phillips Brooks
Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart, filled it too, with melody that would last forever.Bess Streeter Aldrich
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!Carlos Castaneda

Making it, making it, in their chosen field the roses fall victim to a weakness of the heart.Denise Levertov
You had to decompress the pressure before the race. I taught my heart to relax. I lay down before the race. It gave me more energy just before the race.Emerson Fittipaldi
As you get older, it`s nice to be able to relax a bit about your appearance. Writing does that for me. It comes from inside me, from my brain and from my heart, and hopefully it has much more value than anything that`s on the exterior.Emma Samms
The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best of hearts.Henry Fielding

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.Charles Dickens

By Amy Norton HealthDay Reporter Latest Prevention & Wellness News TUESDAY, March 11, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Commercially available tests can analyze your genetic profile and try to predict your risk of a host of diseases. But a new study suggests they aren't ready for prime time. The technology, known as whole-genome sequencing, allows scientists to "map" the information encoded in most of the billions of building blocks that make up a person's DNA.(1) Continue reading →

Possible carbide bug: Suspended: Signal 'Exception 5' received. Description: Access Violation.
Carbide version used:
Version: 1.1
Build id: 47
SDK used:
S60_2nd_FP3/ Symbian 8.1a
The guiengine example (\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Series60Ex\guiengine) can be used to demonstrate a bug in carbide. If you build this example using carbide (in order to successfully compile, you will need to specify a .def file in the shapelistmanager.mmp) it will panic when started from the emulator. If you start a debugging session with carbide the following exception occurs:
Thread [Thread id: 8056] (Suspended: Signal 'Exception 5' received. Description: Access Violation.)
1 0x1B480003( ShapeListManager.dll )() 0x1b480003
If you clean and rebuild the project using the command line winscw compliler (I believe this is the code warrior compiler) the application will start successfully from the emulator.
The binary files produced by carbide are different to those that are produced on the command line. I can provide the compiled binary files and modified mmp file if requested to do so.
Please help Carbide Team!

Le sigh. I love these photos and I know I always say that but that's because IT'S TRUE! My husband and I traveled through Europe for a month (he proposed to me there) and looking at these photos is really taking me back. I'm really enjoying your travel outfits- I was hardly the fashionista I am now when we went so my photos are much less stylish than yours. And you have that honeymooner glow- it's always a pleasure to see someone so happy and in love. As I said… le sigh.

Dangerous new drug in Rutland City, police warnAugust 01,2013Staff Report
Rutland Police say there is a new and dangerous combination of drugs in the city - a pill capsule mixture of methamphetamine, ecstasy, heroin and perhaps crack cocaine as well.
Less than a week after police seized 18 pills filled with that mixture during a traffic stop in Rutland, a rapid-fire number of drug overdoses Wednesday have city police worrying that drug cocktail is gaining a foothold in the community and that more overdoses might follow.
None of the six overdoses reported Wednesday proved fatal but city police Detective Sgt. James Tarbell said it was only a matter of time until the combination killed someone.
"When you introduce a depressant and a stimulant into you body at the same time, your body isn't built for that," Tarbell said.

So I keep reading all these posts and mock drafts with fans wanting the Raiders to pick A) Khalil Mack with our #5 selection and B) a running back somewhere later in the draft (I have literally seen this one as high as 2nd round!). You all are so very wrong about these type of selections and I will tell you why.
For starters, let's focus on the rules of the NFL as they exist today and how they are trending to look in the future. Passing, passing, and more passing is what the NFL wants and that is what they are getting. You can no longer touch a reciever without getting a helmet to helmet or defenseless flag thrown on you. Additionally, the QBs might as well not even wear pads and a helmet as you can't touch them ever now and even looking at them can get you a penalty these days (seems that way anyway).
The NFL is hell bent on passing (see all the passing records being broken by multiple QBs yearly) as passing is flashy, helps teams score more points, and thus gets the casual fan to watch more games helping the NFL teams command more ad dollars due to higher viewership. And like it or not, it is no longer about a kids game being played by men. It is all about the money$$$ (cue Cuba Gooding Jr. from Jerry MacGuire).
Now, to get to the point of all this. Let me start with the running back. For the reasons above and many more related to the rules of the NFL around passing, the running back is not a feature in today's nor the future's NFL. No more Eric Dickerson. No more Walter Payton. No more Marcus Allen. No more Bo Jackson (I shed a tear on this one). Those days are gone, gone, gone. Running backs can be found later in the draft or as undrafted rookies as they are not expected, in the pass happy league of the NFL, to carry the football 25, 30, 40 times a game like they used to and with the many running backs we have on the team right now (MJD, DMC, Latavius Murray, Korey Sheets, Jeremy Stewert, even TJ if we need him, Marcel Reece, Olawale - I think he is still under contract, and Deonte Williams froom Cal Poly on the practice squad) why would we want to waste a draft pick on a position that is in very low need at this point in our build and will not be a feature to wins now and in the future (key words "be a feature")?
Now I do believe that having good running backs is key for any team to move the chains and give defenses something else to account for, but based on the rules it is entirely unnecessary to try and find the next Adrian Peterson or in these mocks I have been seeing even lesser of players at the RB position. Remember in 2012 when AP was going for the single season rushing record with the Vikings and he almost got it? He was by far the MVP as he was doing it with the rules geared toward passing the ball and what happened to the Vikings....no playoff wins, no superbowl, loss of most explosive weapon in Harvin who just got a ring, head coach now fired, and still looking for that franchise QB to what...that's right, PASS the ball!
On to the LB that many are head over heels for - Khalil Mack. I agree, he is an explosive player and I would love to have in in our LB core, but.....again, for the reasons above and many more related to the rules of the NFL around passing he plays a position that is too far away from the QB. When the elite QBs in the league (I live in Denver so I constantly am barraged with Peyton Manning press conferences, interviews, and quotes...gag!) like Manning are asked about what bothers them the most from defenses it is a unanimous pressure up the MIDDLE. See, when QBs are throwing the ball more frequently in our pass happy NFL there are more opportunities to rush the QB and the most glaring hit point is up the middle. Why you ask? Simple. QBs get rid of the ball in 3 seconds or less and in Manning's case it is about 2 seconds give or take a few tenths of a second and when pressure comes off the edge such as with a DE or an outside linebacker it takes too long to get to the QB and he can simply move up in the pocket or slide around and make his throw with out hinderance.
Now, as Manning has said, when pressure comes up the middle the DT is right in the QBs face after the ball is snapped and he can't move up in the pocket and he has hardly anytime to go through his progressions as he is now on the run trying not to get sacked! Hence why Khalil Mack being an outside linebacker makes no sense for us at this juncture when we are devoid of DTs who can get serious pressure up the middle. He plays to far off the line of scrimmage. Now some will say, "but you can put him on the line in known passing situations." And to that I say get the freak outta here with that BS!! If you do that, now you take some one out of the second level be that LB, safety, or CB and lose any advantage you might have had from a numbers stand point and as an LB he is not going to be beasting NFL offensive linemen to get to the QB up the middle. Sorry. Not. Gonna. Happen.
So to wrap this all up, no to Khalil Mack and no to any running back as a draft pick. I would think we are actually set up perfectly to trade back and get a monster of a pass rushing DT in Aaron Donald which will idealy help our defense out more than a Khalil Mack or even a Clowney as he will come right up the gut and blast Manning and any other QB we face for years to come. Don't believe me, watch his tape and ask Cyril Richardson what he thinks after getting beasted by Donald at the senior bowl! Though I would LOVE to get Clowney you have the same problem that you do with Mack - he comes from the outside and the QB can easily move away from him. IF we already had a monster pass rushing DT I would say grab Clowney and/or Mack, but we don't.
So trade back, get another pick (or 2, or 3, or hell even 4), get Donald and shoot for the best pass rushing DE or LB in next years draft while forgetting all about Mack and any RB that could have or might have been...just stop people. Sorry to be so long but this has been bugging me for quite some time and needed to be said.

Rodarte's Night At The Museum-------
It's a Black Swan kind of week in L.A., as Natalie Portman looks likely to clinch the Oscar on Sunday. So what better time for her pals at Rodarte, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, to debut their first solo exhibition—of their Black Swan designs, no less? L.A. MOCA's Jeffrey Deitch snagged the sisters' designs for Rodarte: States of Matter, which opens March 4 at the museum. The tightly edited collection of Swarovski crystal-dusted costumes and other sculptural designs was brought to life by the duo's longtime collaborator, French producer Alexandre de Betak, who also works on their runway shows. "We wanted to express the duality of dark and light," de Betak explained at a preview of the exhibition last night, referencing the strict color theme and extreme lighting design. "It's in the different textures they use and it was important to express that in the way we brought it all together—the fluorescent and then the moody lighting, the beautiful white costumes and the drama of the dark."
Hot on the heels of their Fall '11 show, the critical darlings attracted an impressive showing considering Oscar week's tight social calendar. In town for Barry Diller's pre-Oscar luncheon, CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg stopped in to congratulate the sisters and spent time with André Balazs, while guests like China Chow, Liz Goldwyn, and Audrey Marnay milled. Even crosstown rival LACMA's Michael Govan arrived with his wife, Balenciaga's Katherine Ross, in Rodarte for the occasion.
Of their first solo exhibition, Kate Mulleavy felt they'd found the perfect home. "It's so amazing because MOCA is such a special cultural place in Los Angeles and even globally now. Having grown up here, it's such an honor. We've never really done anything like this before in Los Angeles." And it appears collaborating with de Betak was key. "It makes it even more special to do it with Alex. He's such an incredible artist and what he does allows us to build these worlds. The fact that he took a chance on us even though we're still relatively younger and independent is amazing, and being able to continue to work together so many seasons is special."
"Tales" Spin-------
The latest from art patron (and fast-fashion abstainer) Miuccia Prada: "The Women's Tales," a series of short videos she's commissioned from female filmmakers featuring clothes and accessories by Miu Miu. In the first film of the series, The Powder Room, director Zoe Cassavetes shoots French actress and front-row regular Audrey Marnay alongside models Caroline de Maigret, Line Gost, and Sophie Vlaming indulging in some mid-party primping. "I love the idea of a powder room; the ritual which takes place within them is very important for women," Cassavetes said. "I love the sense of intimacy. It's a place away from men, where you can check out other women, and re-glamorize yourself ready to face the world again." Check out the re-glamming below.

Awful: Wages Dropped for Almost All American Workers in First Half of 2014
(Alternet) Think your money's not going very far this year? It's not your imagination. According to new research by the Economic Policy Institute, real hourly wages declined for almost everybody in the U.S. workforce in the first half of 2014. Thanks, so-called recovery.
Economist Elise Gould pored over data from the governments Current Population Survey and determined that workers at the 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, and 95th percentiles all saw declines in their real wages in the first half of 2014 compared with the same period last year. This was true whether you had no high school degree, a high school diploma, some college, a college degree, or an advanced degree. In fact, people with advanced degrees saw the biggest drop (2.7 percent).

Our interviews revealed that while whites are quite familiar with traffic-safety stops, they have little experience with investigatory stops. But half of all stops reported by blacks were investigatory.

(Reuters) A group of people caught up in unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, after a white officer killed a black teenager, sued local officials on Thursday, alleging civil rights violations through arrests and police assaults with rubber bullets and tear gas.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, says law enforcement met a broad public outcry over the Aug. 9 killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown with "militaristic displays of force and weaponry," (and) engaged U.S. citizens "as if they were war combatants."

"Medicare: Not Such a Budget-Buster Anymore"
(NYT) Youre looking at the biggest story involving the federal budget and a crucial one for the future of the American economy. Every year for the last six years in a row, the Congressional Budget Office has reduced its estimate for how much the federal government will need to spend on Medicare in coming years. The latest reduction came in a report from the budget office on Wednesday morning.
The changes are big. The difference between the current estimate for Medicares 2019 budget and the estimate for the 2019 budget four years ago is about $95 billion. That sum is greater than the government is expected to spend that year on unemployment insurance, welfare and Amtrak combined. Its equal to about one-fifth of the expected Pentagon budget in 2019. Widely discussed policy changes, like raising the estate tax, would generate just a tiny fraction of the budget savings relative to the recent changes in Medicares spending estimates.

Detailed DescriptionUpdate
Autopilot was founded in late 2011 by three brothers from Australia. Between the brothers they have created several successful startups including Stayz.com (which recently sold to HomeAway for $220m). The founders first encountered problems with "centralized marketing solutions" when running their own startups and during time spent consulting to the mid-market & enterprise. With first generation "centralized solutions", marketers are often tied to a system admin or IT to operate marketing automation technology. This restricts execution, increases cost of ownership, and frustrates marketers who are required to become highly technical to complete even the most simple tasks.
Autopilot addresses this problem with an end-to-end marketing automation solution anyone can use, empowering marketing teams to market more and close more, without the reliance or bottlenecks of a centralized solution. Every part of a company is marketing: from welcome emails, to web pages, to nurturing, to renewals, to support. It's happening in a de-centralized way. Autopilot allows everyone in your organization to adopt smarter marketing for the age of context, automation and intelligence.
The founders have been joined by a leadership team who bring operational experience from companies such as Salesforce, Oracle, Apple, Yammer and Box.net. The company is venture backed from experienced and notable investors including Southern Cross Venture Partners, Terry & Katrina Garnett and Tim Draper.

HEADLINE2John R. Kneisel, CPA, to Replace Momoko Beran, Retiring after More Than 20 Years of Service
LANCASTER, Calif., Nov 22, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Simulations Plus, Inc. SLP, +1.19% a leading provider of simulation and modeling software for pharmaceutical discovery and development, today announced that Ms. Momoko Beran has notified the board of directors of her plan to retire effective as of January 15, 2014. The board of directors has appointed John R. Kneisel as new Chief Financial Officer.
Walt Woltosz, chairman and chief executive officer of Simulations Plus, said: "Ms. Momoko Beran has decided to retire effective January 15, 2014. Momo has been with us since before Simulations Plus was founded in our former Words+ subsidiary, and she has served as CFO since Simulations Plus was incorporated in 1996. She has been an outstanding CFO, serving with dedication and distinction. We will miss her and wish her well in her retirement."
The Board of Directors has appointed Mr. John R. Kneisel, CPA, as the new CFO effective as of November 22, 2013. Mr. Kneisel has more than three decades of a variety of business management experience. He served as CFO/Controller for several companies including a software development and professional services company. He has worked for a Fortune 500 company as a regional controller providing financial support to operational management. During his time in public accounting, he served as a general business consultant, assisting in the implementation of operational controls as well as providing assurance services to his clients.
Walt Woltosz, chairman and CEO of Simulations Plus, said: "It's difficult to think about Simulations Plus without Momo, who has been one of the key players in building Simulations Plus to what it is today. Her dedication, untiring hard work, and sacrifice through the difficult early years, as well as her willingness to take on not only the role of CFO, but also HR director and facilities manager, have contributed greatly to our success. She will be missed, but she will facilitate a smooth transition and also serve as a consultant on occasion, particularly with respect to our customers in Japan, where she has provided a strategic advantage to Simulations Plus in cultivating and supporting our Japanese customers. We are very pleased that John Kneisel has accepted our invitation to join the management team of Simulations Plus as the new CFO, and we look forward to his participation in guiding Simulations Plus in the future."

Windstream Communications Drops the Ball
Since June we have answered many second , third, and fourth rings in which there was no one on the other end. In late July we were getting e mails in which callers expressed problems getting through by phone. WIndstream assured us everything was OK, but the problem continued even with different equipment.
Lately very few rings have a caller on the other end. The on August 20th our Internet became intermittent and died shortly thereafter; I reset our modem router (by WIndstream) several times before they agreed the problem was theirs. Finally - four days later the issue was corrected. Then Friday PM 8/29 the phone voice line died, but the Internet continued working. Now it is Sunday night and the line remains dead. I am hoping this issue can be repaired by Friday of this week.
If you have any questions, please direct them to our email: firstname.lastname@example.com if your call gives you an out of order or disconnect signal. We will be out of the office one or two days this week after Labor Day. Please bear with us till our local phone company figures out which way is up.
Please pardon this inconvenience. Please include your phone # in emails.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.

Fortiva Inc, a provider of email archiving solutions for compliance and legal discovery, has raised an additional $4 million in equity financing from Ventures West and Mclean Watson Capital. This amount is in addition to the $1 million invested by McLean Watson in late 2004. The funds will be used to support sales and marketing efforts as well as further product development.

COLONIE, N.Y. – A 5th grade student was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital after being struck by a truck while crossing the street in front of Sand Creek Middle School at around 7:30 Monday morning.
Ten-year-old Madison Almonte was treated on the scene, at the intersection of Iris Lane and Sand Creek Road, for non-life threatening injuries. She received further medical examination at the hospital, including a CAT scan, for precautionary measures. She is expected to make a full recovery.
The Colonie Police Department investigated the accident, where witnesses stated that the student ran out in front of an eastbound vehicle. Police said the area where Almonte was struck was a short distance from an active town-employed crossing guard. The driver of the vehicle, 46-year-old Mark Battista of Colonie, was not expected to be charged in the accident.
According to a statement from the school, counselors would be made available to assist students and staff members who may need additional support.

A Whitewood man has claimed a $30,000 Hot Lotto prize.
South Dakota lottery officials say Aaron Arehart's ticket matched all five white ball numbers but missed the Hot Ball to win the game's $10,000 second prize. The amount was tripled because Arehart purchased a multiplier option.
The ticket was sold at Woody's in Whitewood. The store will receive a $3,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Arehart says he's going to pay off all his debt, do some traveling and save the rest.
Hot Lotto is played in 14 states and the District of Columbia. The odds of winning the second prize are one in about 608,000. The jackpot for the Saturday drawing sits at just under $5.4 million.

Ivanhoeby Sir Walter Scott
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Hailed by Victor Hugo as "the real epic of our age," Ivanhoe was an immensely popular bestseller when first published in 1819. The book inspired literary imitations as well as paintings, dramatizations, and even operas. Now Sir Walter Scott's sweeping romance of medieval England has prompted a lavish
new television production.
In the twelfth century, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe returns home to England from the Third Crusade to claim his inheritance and the love of the lady Rowena. The heroic adventures of this noble Saxon knight involve him in the struggle between Richard the Lion-Hearted and his malignant brother John: a conflict that brings Ivanhoe into alliance with the
mysterious outlaw Robin Hood and his legendary fight for the forces of good.
"Scott's characters, like Shakespeare's and Jane Austen's, have the seed of life in them," observed Virginia Woolf. "The emotions in which Scott excels are not those of human beings pitted against other human beings, but of man pitted against
Nature, of man in relation to fate. His romance is the romance of hunted men hiding in woods at night; of brigs standing out to sea; of waves breaking in the moonlight; of solitary sands and distant horsemen; of violence and suspense." For Henry James, "Scott was a born
storyteller. . . . Since Shakespeare, no writer has created so immense a gallery of portraits."
From the Hardcover edition.
Scott's classic historical romance, set in the twelfth-century England of King Richard I and Robin Hood, depicts the adventures of the heroic knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe in winning the hand of beautiful Lady Rowena while battling the scheming Prince John and his cronies. Reissue.

text: Volunteers across Indiana are honoring fallen military heroes one wreath at a time. Wreaths Across America began in 1992, when a wreathmaker donated 5 thousand Christmas wreaths that were placed at graves at Arlington National Cemetery. Since then it has grown to more than 300 locations, including 10 in the Hoosier State. Dana Vann is the coordinator at the Indiana State Soldiers' Home Cemetery in West Lafayette. Vann's son is buried at Arlington. And she says that's why she started the project a couple of years ago. She says she can't go to Arlington every Christmas so she does it in West Lafayette. Vann says she gets a lot of satisfaction out of doing things for other veterans. In the first year, Vann said they had enough sponsors to put a wreath at half of the graves. She hopes in the coming years there will be enough donations to adorn all the resting places of all military members at the cemetery. Ceremonies will be held on December 14th in each state and overseas, and the goal this year is to place 500 thousand wreaths on veterans' graves nationwide.

William Bent
Saturday, October 10, 2009
4:00pm @ Westport Branch
Experience the world of William Bent, fur trapper and trader with Kansas City connections as portrayed by John Atkinson.
Bent is best known for his trading fort in eastern Colorado which was located near present-day La Junta. During its operation (1833 to 1849) it was the only place of refuge on the Santa Fe Trail between the Missouri settlements and the Mexican outposts of Taos and Santa Fe. It served as headquarters for his family's vast fur trading enterprise. Later, Bent moved to Westport and owned land near present-day Loose Park.
Atkinson is a professor emeritus from Missouri Western State University. He has long been interested in the Bent era. He will portray Bent as he might have looked back on his eventful life in the days before he died, including his frustrations with trying to bring together diverse cultures.

IT might cost $850 a ticket, but the FOOD Train is one of the best ways to experience Orange, according to its organisers.
In its fourth year, the FOOD Train, will bring 24 passengers from Sydney's Central Station to Orange on Friday as part of FOOD Week.
Volunteer organisers Sheelagh Tancred and Mandy Walker, who will chaperone the visitors during their three-day trip, say the guests will be wined and dined on the train before visiting Borrodell for an apple walk, the Orange Region Farmers' Markets, Forage and Millthorpe for a heritage walk.
"No one will go home hungry at the end of the weekend," Ms Walker said.
The trip will also feature a celebrity appearance from 2011 MasterChef Australia winner Kate Bracks, who will provide the morning tea on the train.
"She's doing a station for Forage as well, so we're very lucky to have her on the train," Mrs Tancred said.
Mrs Tancred said the train was an alternative way to explore Orange.
"They could do it under their own steam, but this is a whole package of accommodation, events and it's encouraging people to see what is here," she said.
"Probably if they drove themselves, they wouldn't see as much as they're going to see by going on the train."
Ms Walker said Forage was her favourite part of FOOD Week.
"Forage is lovely because it's just a whole day of easy walking and good food and wine," she said.
"Here in Orange, we're so lucky that there's such a wide range of local produce."
Mrs Tancred said food was a great conversation starter.
"I think it's a wonderful way of sharing with people," she said.
FOOD Week runs until Sunday, with the rescheduled Night Market taking place this Friday from 5.30pm to 9pm at Robertson Park.
