- "Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words." — Mark Twain
- "I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort." — Clarice Lispector
- "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." — Virginia Woolf
- "I've put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that's the only way of insuring one's immortality." — James Joyce
- "The first draft of anything is shit." — Ernest Hemingway
- "Always be a poet, even in prose." — Charles Baudelaire
- "Literature — creative literature — unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable." — Gertrude Stein
- "If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it." — Anaïs Nin
- "One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life." — Henry Miller
- "Writers aren't people exactly. Or, if they're any good, they're a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person." — F. Scott Fitzgerald
- "The true writer has nothing to say. What counts is the way he says it." — Alain Robbe-Grillet
- "James Joyce was a synthesizer, trying to bring in as much as he could. I am an analyzer, trying to leave out as much as I can." — Samuel Beckett
- "Life is painful and disappointing. It is useless, therefore, to write new realistic novels. We generally know where we stand in relation to reality and don't care to know any more." — Michel Houellebecq
- "Do you realize that all great literature is all about what a bummer it is to be a human being? Isn't it such a relief to have somebody say that?" — Kurt Vonnegut
- "Skill alone cannot teach or produce a great short story, which condenses the obsession of the creature; it is a hallucinatory presence manifest from the first sentence to fascinate the reader, to make him lose contact with the dull reality that surrounds him, submerging him in another that is more intense and compelling." — Julio Cortázar
- "Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." — Franz Kafka
- "Reading is more important than writing." — Roberto Bolaño
- "The artist is always beginning. Any work of art which is not a beginning, an invention, a discovery is of little worth." — Ezra Pound
- "The next real literary "rebels" in this country might well emerge as some weird bunch of anti-rebels, born oglers who dare somehow to back away from ironic watching, who have the childish gall actually to endorse and instantiate single-entendre principles. Who treat of plain old untrendy human troubles and emotions in U.S. life with reverence and conviction. Who eschew self-consciousness and hip fatigue. These anti-rebels would be outdated, of course, before they even started. Dead on the page. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic. Maybe that'll be the point. Maybe that's why they'll be the next real rebels. Real rebels, as far as I can see, risk disapproval. The old postmodern insurgents risked the gasp and squeal: shock, disgust, outrage, censorship, accusations of socialism, anarchism, nihilism. Today's risks are different. The new rebels might be artists willing to risk the yawn, the rolled eyes, the cool smile, the nudged ribs, the parody of gifted ironists, the "Oh how banal." To risk accusations of sentimentality, melodrama. Of overcredulity. Of softness. Of willingness to be suckered by a world of lurkers and starers who fear gaze and ridicule above imprisonment without law. Who knows." — David Foster Wallace
- "The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
- "We live not only in a world of thoughts, but also in a world of things. Words without experience are meaningless." — Vladimir Nabokov
- "…Describe your sorrows and desires, the thoughts that pass through your mind and your belief in some kind of beauty – describe all these with heartfelt, silent, humble sincerity and, when you express yourself, use the Things around you, the images from your dreams, and the objects that you remember. If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is not poverty and no poor, indifferent place. And even if you found yourself in some prison, whose walls let in none of the world's sounds – wouldn't you still have your childhood, that jewel beyond all price, that treasure house of memories? Turn your attentions to it. Try to raise up the sunken feelings of this enormous past; your personality will grow stronger, your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes by, far in the distance. — And if out of this turning-within, out of this immersion in your own world, poems come, then you will not think of asking anyone whether they are good or not. Nor will you try to interest magazines in these works: for you will see them as your dear natural possession, a piece of your life, a voice from it. A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That is the only way one can judge it." — Rainer Maria Rilke
- "The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything." — Walt Whitman
- "All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead." — Samuel Beckett
- "Do you know what I was smiling at? You wrote down that you were a writer by profession. It sounded to me like the loveliest euphemism I had ever heard. When was writing ever your profession? It's never been anything but your religion. Never. I'm a little overexcited now. Since it is your religion, do you know what you will be asked when you die? But let me tell you first what you won't be asked. You won't be asked if you were working on a wonderful, moving piece of writing when you died. You won't be asked if it was long or short, sad or funny, published or unpublished. You won't be asked if you were in good or bad form while you were working on it. You won't even be asked if it was the one piece of writing you would have been working on if you had known your time would be up when it was finished—I think only poor Soren K. will get asked that. I'm so sure you'll only get asked two questions. Were most of your stars out? Were you busy writing your heart out? If only you knew how easy it would be for you to say yes to both questions. " — J.D. Salinger
To say, "This is my uncle," in Chinese, you have no choice but to encode more information about said uncle. The language requires that you denote the side the uncle is on, whether he's related by marriage or birth and, if it's your father's brother, whether he's older or younger.
"All of this information is obligatory. Chinese doesn't let me ignore it," says Chen. "In fact, if I want to speak correctly, Chinese forces me to constantly think about it."
This got Chen wondering: Is there a connection between language and how we think and behave? In particular, Chen wanted to know: does our language affect our economic decisions?
Chen designed a study — which he describes in detail in this blog post — to look at how language might affect individual's ability to save for the future. According to his results, it does — big time.
While "futured languages," like English, distinguish between the past, present and future, "futureless languages," like Chinese, use the same phrasing to describe the events of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Using vast inventories of data and meticulous analysis, Chen found that huge economic differences accompany this linguistic discrepancy. Futureless language speakers are 30 percent more likely to report having saved in any given year than futured language speakers. (This amounts to 25 percent more savings by retirement, if income is held constant.) Chen's explanation: When we speak about the future as more distinct from the present, it feels more distant — and we're less motivated to save money now in favor of monetary comfort years down the line.
But that's only the beginning. There's a wide field of research on the link between language and both psychology and behavior. Here, a few fascinating examples:
Navigation and Pormpuraawans
In Pormpuraaw, an Australian Aboriginal community, you wouldn't refer to an object as on your "left" or "right," but rather as "northeast" or "southwest," writes Stanford psychology professor Lera Boroditsky (and an expert in linguistic-cultural connections) in the Wall Street Journal. About a third of the world's languages discuss space in these kinds of absolute terms rather than the relative ones we use in English, according to Boroditsky. "As a result of this constant linguistic training," she writes, "speakers of such languages are remarkably good at staying oriented and keeping track of where they are, even in unfamiliar landscapes." On a research trip to Australia, Boroditsky and her colleague found that Pormpuraawans, who speak Kuuk Thaayorre, not only knew instinctively in which direction they were facing, but also always arranged pictures in a temporal progression from east to west.
Blame and English Speakers
In the same article, Boroditsky notes that in English, we'll often say that someone broke a vase even if it was an accident, but Spanish and Japanese speakers tend to say that the vase broke itself. Boroditsky describes a study by her student Caitlin Fausey in which English speakers were much more likely to remember who accidentally popped balloons, broke eggs, or spilled drinks in a video than Spanish or Japanese speakers. (Guilt alert!) Not only that, but there's a correlation between a focus on agents in English and our criminal-justice bent toward punishing transgressors rather than restituting victims, Boroditsky argues.
Color among Zuñi and Russian Speakers
Our ability to distinguish between colors follows the terms in which we describe them, as Chen notes in the academic paper in which he presents his research (forthcoming in the American Economic Review; PDF here). A 1954 study found that Zuñi speakers, who don't differentiate between orange and yellow, have trouble telling them apart. Russian speakers, on the other hand, have separate words for light blue (goluboy) and dark blue (siniy). According to a 2007 study, they're better than English speakers at picking out blues close to the goluboy/siniy threshold.
Gender in Finnish and Hebrew
In Hebrew, gender markers are all over the place, whereas Finnish doesn't mark gender at all, Boroditsky writes in Scientific American (PDF). A study done in the 1980s found that, yup, thought follows suit: kids who spoke Hebrew knew their own genders a year earlier than those who grew up speaking Finnish. (Speakers of English, in which gender referents fall in the middle, were in between on that timeline, too.)

Tornadoes formed late this afternoon along a line of thunderstorms in Newton County, Georgia. Six to eight homes were damaged and one person was injured when a tornado touched down in Mansfield. Another person was injured and trees were uprooted one mile southwest of Mansfield when an EF 2 tornado moved through that area.

How to make vintage Christmas sweater stockings
Easy to make sweater stockings:
Buy a vintage sweater or 2 at a thrift, found mine at Goodwill for $1.
Lay out a pattern on the best part of your sweater.
Cut one front, one back, using a pattern like one shown above.
If you do use pattern above make it longer.
Pin together make sure front or outside of fabrics are facing each other.
Slowly sew around, the bumpy sweater fabric can catch in your machine.
Now have fun!

My cottage slip cover chair
above not sure what I was doing :-}
under the slip cover
When my chair slip cover wore out and it
wasn't in my budget to buy a new one
I made my own.
I've slip covered child chairs, stools, & cushions
but never a large armed chair.
Being concerned I couldn't tackle this project
I still gave it a try..
Using fabrics I had I got busy.
In a week-end my cover was finished.
The cover is far from perfect
but sure serves it's purpose!

~Prayers needed for my Bella's surgery~
My granddaughter Bella's having surgery on her knee Tues. Jan11
Could you please say a prayer for her.
....FYI about Bella...
Bella has suffered with Polyarticular Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis for years.
JRA is a type of arthritis that happens in children age 16 or younger. It causes joint swelling, stiffness and sometimes reduced motion. It can affect any joint, and in some cases it can affect internal organs as well.
One early sign of JRA may be limping in the morning. Symptoms can come and go. Some children have just one or two flare-ups. Others have symptoms that never go away. JRA causes growth problems in some children.
No one knows exactly what causes JRA. Scientists do know it is an autoimmune disorder, which means your immune system, which normally helps your body fight infection, attacks your body's own tissues. Medicines and physical therapy can help maintain movement and reduce swelling and pain.Polyarticular (say: pah-lee-ar-tik-yoo-lur) JRA. Poly means many, so polyarticular means having to do with many joints. This kind of JRA affects five or more joints. Although this kind of JRA usually involves large joints, such as knees, wrists, elbows, and ankles, small joints of the hands and feet are also often involved.
Bella's doing a bit better these days with the JRA but continues on medication with blood work and doctors visits.
Bella also has Plica syndrome this is why she's in need of knee surgery. She's been living with much pain/swelling..Surgery will be Tues morning. Will you please keep Bella in your thoughts & prayers?
Bella's such a great kid, I'm so proud of her! She was voted student of the month, is secretary of 8th grade Student Council, on swim team, volleyball, soft ball & choir. She keeps very active a must for children with JRA! She's also working for a place on Academic Challenge. Way to go Bella :-}

Q. Why choose Revolver Digital?
A. Lets bullet point this one to make it clearer for you:
- Cost: We guarantee that our prices are some of the most competitive around. I invite (actually, encourage) you to compare our prices with our competitors and see for yourself the saving that can be made.
- ISRC'S and Barcodes: ISRC's (Industry Standard Recording Code) are small codes applied to a recording. This code is applied to your recordings to identify it for revenue payments. These are FREE for record companies to apply to recordings. Barcodes are applied to a product and are used as an identifier for that product. These are supplied to us for a one off fee and thereafter, costless. These are both required for a digital upload. We DO NOT charge for these. Many of our competitors do charge and some of the market leaders will charge you in excess of £30 on top of what you pay for the upload.
- Guidance from industry professionals: We have a crack team of music industry professionals working relentlessly on this project that are dedicated to helping you achieve the most out of the service as possible. They are on hand to answer any questions you may have. Your E-mails will not be received in a general enquires account that is left unattended from week to week. The contacts page provides you with direct E-mail addresses to all Revolver Digital employees.
- You don't pay extra for worldwide distribution: This ones a mind boggler for us. When uploading your material, we have the option to have it distributed worldwide or only to certain territories. It actually takes more time and effect for us to detail which territories we would like to approve or deny your material for, so why would we charge more for worldwide distribution? Why do some of our competitors charge more for worldwide distribution? Answers on a postcard please.
Q. Which digital stores will our music be available in?
A. Take a look at the link below, it will outline all the digital stores your material will be uploaded to.
Q. Will our music be eligible for the UK charts?
A. YES! Your tracks are assigned ISRC codes (explained further under "why choose Revolver Digital") which then makes your tracks eligible for the charts.
Q. How long does the process take?
A. Upload tracks digitally entails of lot of data checking and clearance to be undertaken. This is out of our control and standard for sites such as Itunes. Your material could take a month to go live digitally. We apologise for this delay in advance as it is unavoidable.
Q. Do we need to submit artwork as well?
A. Yes please, we do require artwork that compliments the track.
The preferences for the artwork are as follows:
Format: JPG or TIFF
Size: 1425×1425
Shape: Square
Resolution: 300DPI
Colour palette: RGB
If any of this confuses you, feel free to ask.
Q. Do Revolver Digital take a percentage?
A. No, all the money made goes to you! The only fee you pay is the one off fee to upload your tracks.
Q. What currency will we be paid in?
A. Revenue made from sales will paid strait to the customers account, hence the currency that you will receive will be dependant on where you live.
Q. Do we have to be based in the UK?
A. Certainly not. All transactions and communication can be made over the magic that is the Internet and over the telephone. So no matter where you are, you're welcome here.
Q. Will we be giving up the rights to our music by signing up?
A. None what so ever. Revolver Digital is non-exclusive and you can pull the plug whenever you wish.
Q. What happens if we get offered a record deal?
A. Again, you can pull the plug whenever you wish and your content will be taken down from all digital distributors leaving your record company to deal with your content.
Q. Is there a cancellation fee?
A. There is not a cancellation fee. If you wish us to take your content down from the digital distribution sites just give us the word.
Q. How/when will we receive our royalties?
A. Royalties will be paid out quarterly direct to your bank account.
Q. Do we have to sign a contract?
A. A digital agreement and terms and conditions must be agreed to, but we stress that you are not tied down by this. You may walk away from the relationship with Revolver Digital and have your content taken down from digital sites and off our system whenever you wish.

Why We Charge for Parking on Commercial Streets
- Charging for parking is a well-established and effective public management tool where demand exceeds supply.
- Parking charges encourage users to use parking efficiently; with parking spaces turning over more frequently, more users are accommodated.
- Low- or no-cost street parking encourages more vehicle use and generates traffic.
Types of Meters and Parking Payment Devices
- It's illegal to pay for additional time at the meter after the time limit has been reached. Feeding the meter beyond its original maximum time could result in a parking ticket.
- People with disabilities may park at any parking meter including those that are specially designated meters and with longer allowable times.
Parkmobile Pay-by-Cell
We've partnered with Parkmobile to bring residents and visitors a mobile payment solution for parking at metered spaces throughout the County.
Pay-by-cell is a mobile application administered by Parkmobile and is available for iPhone, Android, Windows 7 and Blackberry smartphones. The District of Columbia uses the same service, so residents and visitors do not need to download a separate application to park when traveling between Arlington and the district.
How to Register and Use
Sign up online or download the mobile app.
Parking is as easy as 1, 2, 3 using Parkmobile:
- Park: Look for the green Parkmobile sign.
- Pay: Use the Parkmobile mobile app, mobile website or call 1-877-727-5730 and enter the zone number listed on the sign. Pay using credit card or PayPal.
- Go: Head to your office, the store, lunch or that job interview. You can even opt-in to receive a text notification 15 minutes before your parking session is set to expire.
How-to video for iPhone | How-to video for Android
Multispace Pay Stations
There are two ways to pay for multispace parking: by coin — nickels, dimes, quarters or dollar coins — or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover).
- Insert coins or your credit card into the pay station and indicate the time.
- Push the print button for your receipt.
- Place the receipt face-up on the dashboard of your car.
Single-Space Meters
More than 2,400 single-space parking meters are located throughout the County for widely varying increments of time. They're easily spotted from your driver's seat by a color code.
- Yellow – 30 minutes
- Silver – 1 hour
- Blue – 2 hours
- Red – 4 hours
- Green – 10 hours
Flexible Pay Single-Space Parking Meters
This is a new type of single-space parking meter that accepts nickels, dimes, quarters, dollar coins and credit cards.
The iPark is a prepaid in-car meter device. To use it, select the type of meter you're parking at, start the iPark* and hang it from your rearview mirror. When you return to your car, turn it off and you will have paid for the minutes you parked.
*Note: Due to a manufacturer shortage, we're not currently selling new iParks.

While it's estimated that more than 95 percent of cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital, death from sudden cardiac arrest is not inevitable.
Survivors of sudden cardiac arrest may face a variety of complex medical issues known as Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS):
PCAS-Related Conditions
Brain Injury
- Can begin hours to days after cardiac arrest.
- Too much or too little oxygen delivered during initial treatment can affect outcome.
- Fever, increased blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and seizures can affect severity of brain injury and outcome.
- Signs include coma, seizures, varying degrees of cognitive dysfunction from memory deficits to persistent vegetative state, movement impairments and brain death.
Heart Dysfunction
- Can be detected within minutes of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) with appropriate monitoring.
- Heart rate, ejection fraction, heart rhythm and BP may be extremely variable after ROSC.
- Dysfunction is transient and can resolve to normal by 72 hours after arrest.
- Underlying heart disease that caused the arrest must also be treated.
Systemic Ischemia/Reperfusion Response
- During arrest, the body goes into severe shock. The internal processes for taking in and removing necessary and harmful blood chemicals is stopped.
- Lack of oxygen in the blood can cause organ damage or failure and increase susceptibility to infection.
Conditions that cause or are caused by cardiac arrest
- Acute Coronary Syndrome (acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary occlusion)
- Arrhythmias
- Lung conditions (pulmonary embolism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, pneumonia )
- Hemorrhage caused by trauma
- Infection (including pneumonia)

Rents continue to rise in South Florida, increasing 3.5 percent in July compared to the same time last year. A three-bedroom home is now going for a median of $1,771-a-month according to a Zillow study of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Whether it's better to buy a home instead of renting_ if you can out-compete the cash investors _ depends on how long you plan to live there and what city you're buying in.
Seattle-based Zillow has come up with a measure called the "breakeven horizon." Basically, it's how long you have to live in a home before it makes more financial sense to buy it.
For example, in Boca Raton last month the median rent on all homes was $1,987 per month. At that rate, you would have to live in a home for 2.4 years before it makes more sense to buy.
In West Palm Beach, the median rent was $1,426 on all homes, and you would only have to live in a house 1.9 years before it makes more sense to buy.
Other Palm Beach County cities include Boynton Beach (1.9 years), Delray Beach (2.1 years), Jupiter (2.6 years), and Palm Beach Gardens (2.1 years).
Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries said he doesn't believe South Florida will see home price declines, but appreciation rates will slow significantly. That's not the case for other areas in the country, including parts of California and Nevada, where Humphries believes there is a price bubble forming.
"Prepare for volatility for the balance of the decade," Humphries said. "In periods of volatility, the best advice is provide a margin of safety in your purchase. Don't try to extend yourself too much."

Flavor of the Week: Digital Dalliances
SHE PEERED AROUND the paneled door, then shut it, her belt already undone. Bending forward, she let her jeans inch down to expose a thong, her hands now fingering its waistband, pulling it out and letting go (snap!) now tugging it lower, lower, a little tuft of hair just visible and… frozen. Her hands shattered into pixilated squares and her face turned copper, then sepia, then black. I hit my laptop. A pop from Skype: Did I want to reconnect?
My girlfriend Laura and I were separated by a bad connection—and the Atlantic. We had met abroad studying Portuguese in Coimbra the semester before and our casual fling soon reached an intensity only possible when culture and language conspire against you.
Our program had no other Americans and the few we had met were exhausting: dipsomaniacal Greeks or pedantic hipsters. For two months, we lived in an orbit of two, and in this hermitage a romance—the first for us both—had thrived. We decided to stay together after leaving the Iberian Peninsula. Since she was working in Portugal past graduation, this meant a period apart and without something which two horny kids in love need very much: sex.
We relied on Skype dates. Because of time zone differences, what was for her a late-night tryst was for me an afternoon delight. Or rather, afternoon terror. From my centrally located bedroom at my parents' house, I jerked off with eyes on the screen and attention on my mother's footfalls. Close calls required jamming a swollen erection into my pants, and a breathless "Don't come in!" The summer heat caused me to sweat through my clothes. Just like it did yesterday and the day before.
Laura's experience was no less stressful.
She had moved into an older family's home; their one webcam was located in the den. At night, she snuck downstairs to turn it on. While she made sure everyone was asleep, I analyzed the room's décor. Crucifixes and portraits of Jesus, statues of Mary and a gilt reliquary; a photo of religious graffiti: 1 cross 3 nails = 4 given. She would position herself, conscientiously, with the chair against the door, where she fingered herself stoically—never fully nude, often just with underwear slightly lowered. For all that I typically saw, I might as well have been masturbating to a young nun with a particularly bad itch.
When Laura's job ended, she went backpacking around Europe and Skype sex ended. Chats all came from crowded Internet cafés in hostels or near kebab stands. The most I would get was a stealthy flash, her face always blushing red. We exchanged emails detailing our forlorn lives along with the lewd things we'd do at our impending reunion. And we Gchatted constantly using our phones. That's how I ended up masturbating in a movie theater.
While sitting through previews for a film (that I'd mostly miss), I received a series of Gchats, which sent me to the bathroom. It was nearly empty, only a pair of sneakers visible beneath a stall.
I started to type, when we I realized there was a problem: timing. How would we make our sexting simultaneous? I was getting close, and had no clue when she would finish. So, a few agonizing minutes later, she texted "OK"—and I finished.
"So this is ridiculous but I've just programmed 'I'm coming' into my phone to send to you when I'm almost there." Honesty seemed cruel at this point, and I kept with the bizarre chats until she reached what she assured me was a good finish—
Sent at 10:28 pm on Tuesday made great by knowing we did it together. Only when I heard the man next to me flush as I cleaned up did I realize the absurdity of what I'd done: that I had prematurely ejaculated while fucking my girlfriend through text in a public bathroom.
I guess I have one cogent, if obvious, contribution to the post-Weiner discussion on what should be done to those who sext: Nothing. Trying to complete the act with any dignity is punishment enough.
Eventually neither of us could take Gchat sex seriously, and we started giving it some realism. "I want you girl." "Want to go down on me?" "Nope, going straight in." "Ow." "No foreplay." "Starting to get into it." "Just came." "Still grinding on your shrinking dick." "In massive pain." "Almost there." "Three inches now." "About to come." "Slipped out."
My other relief was a series of videos she let me film during our melancholy final week together. I had saved 10 or so of our sessions (with varying degrees of success), and she encouraged me to edit them into one short film.
It was a strange sensation, combining pillow talk and foreplay, excising unflattering shots—and unflattering performances. When I finally finished, I had created a digital video of two lovers with limitless stamina and polished sexual skills at odds with their recent virginities.
And where is that video today?
No idea. After we broke up, I got a new computer. It didn't feel right to transfer the film to the new laptop, nor did I have the heart to delete it. Eventually I forgot about it, and the hardware went to charity.
Have we become participants in a needy boy's fantasies? Possibly. Will it ever matter?
Christopher Hitchens recently wrote that part of the pleasure of sleeping with an Oxford student is the knowledge that you might be fucking a future member of the Prime Minister's cabinet. When I read that, I thought about Laura. She graduated from the American equivalent with honors and always had a passion for politics. She's now studying contract law in Chicago and seems destined for success, unless a newly discovered video makes the country take issue with a multi-orgasmic Secretary of Labor.

As you stated, you have the Cordless Desktop® Wave Pro? I (we) have the Cordless Desktop Wave?
Side by side comparisions of the two - Keyboard + Mice Combos
Your keyboard uses the advanced 2.4GHz wireless signal which may be why you don't have the security feature as Logitech may not deem it necessary for that keyboard. That's the only thing I can think of for it not being there.
As to the initial issue, other than what I suggested, I have no clue. Sorry
Perhaps the other suggestions would be worth exploring, especially moving the reciever around.
Edit: It appears derekimo has found something of interest that you may want to look into.
Thanks to its ability to transmit data in two directions, your keyboard can save power by turning itself off when your PC is dormant. Your keyboard can even sense if theres wireless interference and change channels to establish the most secure connection.

1. Will the coordinators turn Blaine Gabbert loose and let him attempt some big plays to put some spark in this offense?
2. Has Blaine gotten over his "pocket paranoia"? Can he stand tall in the pocket and make the throws even if he's getting pressured?
3. Is Eben Britton fully healthy and will his presence in the starting lineup have a noticeable effect on runs to his side and pass protection?
4. The Jaguars have had trouble covering tight ends this season (and in many recent seasons). Can they limit Greg Olsen today and force Cam Newton to throw it deep?
5. Deji Karim is yet to do something special this season and our kick coverage has been suspect at best. Can the underperforming special teams pick it back up?
5 BOLD Predictions
1. Jaguars win the game by more than a touchdown – Final Score – 27-17.
2. Cam Newton is picked off 3 times by the Jaguars secondary.
3. Blaine Gabbert throws 2 TD's and has more than 250 yards in the air.
4. Marcedes Lewis goes for 75 yards and a TD.
5. Steve Smith has another monster game, putting up 110 yards and a TD for the Panthers.

Not that we think it will
Oh sure. Six episodes into "True Detective," it feels like we should just hold the Emmys now and we should get down to debating where it stands in the pantheon of the Greatest Shows Ever.
There's just one problem: You can't judge a detective drama until you see how it resolves its big mystery. Remember how much people liked "The Killing" once? Remember how betrayed they felt by the way its first season ended? "True Detective" mastermind Nic Pizzolatto co-wrote the season finale for "The Killing." (He has said he was carrying out the vision of that show's creator.)

As good as "True Detective" is now, it still needs to stick the landing in its last two episodes. We're confident it will. But here are five ways it could still blow it:
1. Matthew McConaughey's character did it.
By "it" we mean "killed all those people." The show hinted from the very beginning that McConaughey's Rust Cohl was the real killer, even before his interrogators flat out accused him. For the show to make him the actual bad guy would be exactly what we aren't expecting, because it's so obviously what we're expecting. Then again, maybe "True Detective" could pull this off, if we realize at the end we haven't been watching a mystery at all – just the story of two cops disintegrating. But we think "True Detective" will find a way to surprise. The best part of the show is how hard it works for viewers respect, even when it doesn't need to. We'd tune in to watch its stars eat cereal.

2. Woody Harrelson's character did it.
Marty Hart is flawed, but flawed in the way humans are flawed. Cohl is messed up in an almost ethereal way. It would be less depressing to drive around in a squad car with the devil himself.
3. Michelle Monaghan's character did it.
There's no way this would happen, right? We realized last week what a gifted manipulator Maggie is, but to make her the killer would be ridiculous. Right?
Also read: 'True Detective' Creator Nic Pizzolatto Re-Ups With HBO for 2 More Years
4. Explaining the Yellow King too soon.
The show's many references to Robert Chambers's "The King in Yellow" have helped move the 1895 short story collection to the top of Amazon's sales chart. But in the book, the king isn't even a background character. "The Yellow King" is the title of a play within the book that makes people who read it go mad. Since "True Detective" is planned as an anthology, why not keep the idea of the Yellow King around for a while?
5. Worrying about what anyone thinks.
There's a big caveat to the rest of this list: We have a feeling Pizzolatto knows exactly what he's doing. The actors on the show got to read all eight of his episodes before they signed on, and we don't think he would have drawn the talent he did without a brilliant ending.
(For the record: A previous version of this story said Nic Pizzolatto did not write the Season 1 finale of "The Killing." In fact, he co-wrote it.)

Liberty, not Government, is the Key to Containing Ebola
Writes Lew Rockwell:
The Anti-Federalists predicted that a "Supreme" Court would help pave the way towards tyranny. Now the Nine Creeps have agreed with the Dictator that if he or any of his army of highly paid dependents declares a person to be a suspected enemy combatant (i.e., an enemy of the people), anything can be done to him: he can be kidnapped, incarcerated, tortured, disappeared, etc. with no recourse. This edict has been buried by the minion-media. (Thanks to Eric Garris)

We sailors are a privileged bunch. We enjoy a great sport, surrounded by natural beauty and he to experience some fantastic mateship and hospitality to boot. This weekend TANSW members gave something back.
On Saturday, the now well established training program stopped off at George's River Sailing Club, and over 20 Tasar Association of NSW (TANSW) members got to be coached by professional sailmaker and Hobart winner Shane Guanaria and ex Tasar World Champions Rob and Nicole Douglass.
The format of the day saw Rob and Nic do land demonstrations, and then jump into various Tasars to give "hands on" training, while Shane used his vast sailing and coaching knowledge to structure and deliver the day overall. With the weather playing ball and delivering sunshine and a variety of wind strengths, all learnt a great deal.
Mark & Susan Kelly (Woooo Hoooo!! 2841) are new to the class, and really appreciated the training from the TANSW. "Sue & I would like to say thanks to each of you for organising & running the coaching on Saturday & the previous session at Dobroyd. For new Tasar sailors like us, the training and advice is invaluable & the hands on demonstrations are really effective in showing how we should be doing things.".
On Sunday, Georges River played host to the first Tasar Travellers trophy (TT) of the season, but this was no ordinary TT. The TANSW took the opportunity to support the global Barts Bash fund raising event - set up in memory of Andrew "Bart" Simpson and raising money to help transform the lives of young people, through sailing.
With 17 boats taking part, and a 14 knot Southerly for all to enjoy, the two races were highly competitive and excellent fun. The Wilsons were the superior team on the day, taking both wins. In the first race, Rob and Nic Douglass finished second, with Gary & Robin Ratcliffe in third, and in the second, Pete and Pia Davies took second with Rob and Nic in third.
Listen to a radio interview with Ben Walker, the TANSW Race Secretary about the weekend, and a snippet from the coaching session.
With a busy two weekends of sailing in Sydney now behind us, TANSW members return to their clubs next weekend before the annual Jervis Bay regatta over the bank holiday weekend.
We all hope to see you there!
Jervis Bay Regatta 2014 NOR Jervis Bay Regatta 2014 Entry Form

African American Women in the Struggle for the Vote, 1850-1920 (Blacks in the Diaspora)by Rosalyn Terborg-penn
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Rarely has a short book accomplished so much as Terborg-Penn's seminal work. With the utmost attention to detail Terborg-Penn examines the contributions of black suffragist stalwarts... It undoubtedly will become the definitive work on African American women's involvement in the mainstream woman suffrage movement and specifically on black women's struggle for the vote." --Choice
"... this is a well-written overview of a crucial aspect of African American history that would be ideal for the college classroom." --Journal of American History
"... not only a major contribution to suffrage history... but also a powerful indictment of white suffrage activists who were able to see beyond the sexism but not the racism of their society." --Journal of Southern History
"This groundbreaking volume provides a theoretical and practical framework for new paradigms in African American women's history.... All Black politicians should read and discuss this unique and brilliant book. Many lessons can be learned." --Philadelphia New Observer
This comprehensive look at the African American women who fought for the right to vote analyzes the women's own stories and examines why they joined and how they participated in the U.S. women's suffrage movement. Terborg-Penn shows how every political and racial effort to keep African American women disfranchised met with their active resistance until black women finally achieved full citizenship.
Drawing from original documents, Rosalyn Terborg-Penn constructs a comprehensive portrait of the African American women who fought for the right to vote. She analyzes the women's own stories of why they joined and how they participated in the U.S. women's suffrage movement. Not all African American women suffragists were from elite circles. Terborg-Penn finds working-class and professional women from across the nation participating in the movement. Some employed radical, others conservative means to gain the right to vote. But Black women were unified in working to use the ballot to improve both their own status and the lives of Black people in their communities.
About the Author
Rosalyn Terborg-Penn is Professor and Coordinator of Graduate Programs in History at Morgan State University in Baltimore. A founder of the Association of Black Women Historians, she is a co-editor of Black Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia, The Afro-American Woman: Struggles and Images, and Women in Africa and the African Diaspora: A Reader.

Being a captain seems to mean less after every season in the NHL. Some teams choose not to even have a captain. These days, captains can even be swapped in trades on a whim such as the Marty St. Louis for Ryan Callahan trade between the New York Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
So, in the spirit of that type of trade, could the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks do the same? Both have captains that haven't exactly lived up to their expectations in their respective cities. Dion Phaneuf has been a target of Leafs Nation almost since he was acquired. Joe Thornton hasn't been able to lead the Sharks to playoff success.
This leads to the question that is inevitably asked when players are struggling. Would a change of scenery help?
The Sharks might not be able to re-sign defenseman Dan Boyle this off-season and Phaneuf might be a suitable replacement for him. Everyone in Toronto has been clamoring for a big No. 1 center for years. Thornton would certainly fit that bill.
The other thing that both Phaneuf and Thornton have in common is that the hockey media has said that they both could be stripped as their captaincy as a result of their team's failings. Of course, stripping a player of his captaincy could have negative results, so a trade is more likely.
Phaneuf only makes $250,000 more than Thornton so a straight trade between the two would work out. What do you guys think? Is this a trade the Leafs should explore?

Jason: I make a good income, if I know that $30k per year will be taken from me and given to my relaxed pot smoking neighbor who wants to chill and pay no taxes, it makes me wonder 'for a little less income, why the Hell should I work to pay for the lazy, relaxed guy beside me? If I can't get my family ahead by working hard then why should I? Why should I support the lazy guy beside me and how does the government feel they can Take money from my daughter and give it to the lazy guy beside me after I worked hard to earn it???
Makes you wonder, why not live off someone else's hardwork? Screw trying to get ahead. Why risk a student loan to become educated? No, stay at home, someone else will take care of you. Stop caring about bettering yourself, much of the reward from working smart and hard will be given to the person who doesn't care.
I will fight to create rehabilitation programs to bring people back into productive society, but I will also fight to protect an individuals right to be rewarded for hard, smart, dedicated work. There will always be situations of corporate greed, it's who we are, but take away motivation and reward laziness and you will create more of what you reward …
For such a smart country, this is such an stupid and shortsighted idea …
Luke: Because you work for money, not pride. You are a selfish man Jason, and you are teaching your kids the awful life you have working while secluding your family from their surroundings. You're an excellent 30k worker, and I'm sure you help maintain your premises.
Your work may be clever, and hard, but its anything but smart or wise.
You're a selfish worker, that's why you're asking selfish questions, and ignorant qurries. Good luck, may the fine arts of appreciation be your next calling.

Vixen Manifesto
1. It is possible for every single person alive to have amazing, passionate, mind-altering sex. In fact, as human beings it is not only possible, it is our birthright.
2. Everyone should have a relationship with her/his sexuality completely separate from any other (romantic or otherwise). Your sexuality doesn't depend on anyone else, and it is a vital part of who you are: it can be a source of power.
3. Monogamy isn't for everyone. It's time to be realistic about that and start dealing with it, instead of pretending it works for everybody. It doesn't.
4. Not all relationships are meant to last – even long-term ones. If we aren't learning and growing within a relationship, it's time to get out. Having been together for a long time is NOT a reason to stay together.
5. One in four girls and one in six boys are survivors of sexual abuse, a huge factor in one's current sexual reality. If you are one, know the following: 1. You are not alone. 2. It wasn't your fault. 3. Help is available. 4. If you haven't yet dealt with it, it's time.
6. It is absolutely impossible for one person to fulfill all of your needs. Problematically, this is the current model for romantic relationships in our culture. We need a new one.
7. The way people receive love is different: some people feel loved when they are told aloud; others want to be shown, with gifts or acts of service. Social science shows us that over and over, people assume that others are like them. They're not. Understanding fundamental personality differences like these can make or break relationships.
8. Relationship Ed should be taught in schools the way Sex Ed is.
9. Unresolved trauma is the root cause of most issues in relationship. Many times relationships force us to confront our deepest Family Of Origin (FOO) "issues." So let's confront them, instead of just unconsciously repeating old patterns. Let's all be FOO fighters.
10. World peace will only be achieved when every person is raised in a healthy, loving, functional family system.* By learning to have healthy relationships, we actually do have the power to change the world – literally.
*healthy does not necessarily mean traditional nuclear family, nor does it mean "perfect."
Note: This blog is hetero-normative. It excludes a lot of relationship concerns, including gay/lesbian/transgender and others. There are fascinating discussions to be had on these topic, I just don't cover them. Also, I occasionally utilize sentence fragments. Before the Grammar Police get their panties in a bunch, please know that I realize I'm doing so. I just like to use them for effect. Note that I didn't say "affect."

Now that is a truly powerful and beautiful initiative. I look forwarding to learning more about your experiences and the steps you take to inspire positive changes within the hearts and minds of everyone that enjoys your influence. Thank you for all your hard work both for the past and in advance. I am especially interested when you talk about confronting subconscious beliefs and creating a new and peaceful, harmonious mindset to help us experience much more positive interactions which will truly carve the pathway to a peaceful and loving world.

Building or defining a new relationship paradigm seems to be very pertinent.
The existing constructs seem to boil into political definitions that are just as limiting as what we are trying not to do. Rational man/woman narrative or conceptual thought is a light at at the end of the tunnel for me. Being friends with a woman is the closest thing I have found for a guiding light idea.
- February 27, 2014 at 5:20 am
Your philosophies are contradictory and naive. Lack of commitment based on selfishness and narcissism leads to broken families. Research attachment disorder and the consequences of divorce- sexual abuse is one of them,along with a multitude of others.

My friend and I have just started using MFP. We also have just begun walking.
To get us started we are just doing 20 minutes, slow pace MFP listed this as 88 calories burned for my friend. Today she swam leisurely (playing around) in the pool for 20 minutes, and it said she burned 212 calories! That is a HUGE difference.
To me the walking is a lot more work than playing in the pool. Can swimming/playing in the pool really burn that many more calories? If so... we may be doing a lot LESS walking.
Any input?

No...walking isn't a lot more than playing in the pool...especially if your moving constantly in the water...
your body is using all kinds of muscles...
and it goes by weight...
and what you have to lose and age
as to cals lost...
just remember it all counts
so just move

I always thought there is such a huge difference in swimming and other exercises too. I'm all for swimming if it really burns as many calories as MFP says but I do not have a HRM to know for sure. If I had to guess I would say swimming uses more muscles and therefore burns more calories then just walking.

I think it feels like less because the water holds you up, and you can't sweat! However, since I don't have a way to tell which actually burned more calories, I guess I would watch the results. They don't lie.

I've been wondering the same thing. I love to swim but my HRM isn't waterproof, so I cant accurately count the calories burned. I know that all of the calorie burned numbers are totally off from what my HRM records, so I just don't trust the calorie count that the website gives.

Swimming is a total body exercise whereas walking only uses your leg muscles. And with swimming, you're having to support your body weight and you have the water that acts as resistance. And you don't feel like you're sweating because it just goes into the water! So yes, swimming burns more calories overall.

I to have had the same question. My friend has been going to water aerobics every day since September missing very few days only through the week though. She has lost 5 inches on her hips by just doing that and not dieting. I asked her to ask her instructor about it. She said that water aerobics or exercising in the water is 3 times more than what you would get in a work out on land. She said if you ran a mile in a pool it would be equivalent to 3 miles on land. I hope this helps. I know I have been getting in my pool almost everyday and working out.

I have been doing 30 mins of water aerobics while wearing resistence equipment (hands and ankles). Lost tons of inches and 8 lbs in three weeks. I only weigh in on Monday's so hoping for another two lbs this coming Mon. Not only is it easier on your body (low impact) but it is a huge workout!

I do water aerobics and burn 288 calories in an hour. It is very vigorous and there is a lot of resistance in the water. I have been doing this since February and have lost 36 lbs. 13 inches from my waist and have muscles in my arms that I never had before...................greatest work out ever!

I'm very fit and when I swim, my HRM records quite a few calories burned, even for just 20 minutes. More than when I work out on the elliptical at interval training with that.

I do a lot of swimming and deep water aqua jogging (with an aqua jogging belt and other accessories). If you go running on land they say you can burn 8 calories a minute, but if you run in deep water you burn 11.5 calories per minute because of the extra resistance of pushing through water versus walking/running while you are pushing through air. Many professional runners train in deep water in addition to land, plus often that is their only exercise the week before a big race.
There are many ways to up the exercise in the pool including extra resistance weights, booties for the feet, etc. Generally, if you are vertical in the water, such as deep water running, or water aerobics you are pushing and pulling the water. When you swim you are horizontal and the intent is to slice through the water with minimal resistance to increase speed. It burns a lot of calories and builds certain muscles and lung capacity. Deep water joggin/running builds more overall body muscles and core muscles.
It's a lot of fun. Grab a waterproof MP3 player and go have fun in the water.
Hope this helps.

I thought of a few things. Like-if you normally do not swim, your body will have to work harder, thus giving you bigger burn.
If you swim in a pool, think about how many times you go up and down the steps, jump in the water, bob up and down playing with others or just swimming........pushing the water the entire time!
IF you are blessed to have an ocean nearby, then you add lugging the stuff thru the sand before ever hitting the water. When I wore my HRM for a 2 hr stint at the beach, I burned close to 600 cals without even trying. All I did was walk, play, sit. Walk, play, swim, sit.
What a great way to burn those extra calories. I love water!

What movie have you seen ? Was it any good ? Tell us what you thought and who was in it. Rate it out of ten.
I saw a great movie last night called " A lonley place to die " I won't spoil it by telling you the plot but it was a fantastic thriller, British made with no big stars that i knew of. It was fast paced violent and beautifully shot in the highlands of Scotland, some of the scenes made me drool as a landscape admier not to take anything away from the movie itself.
I would give this movie a Nine out of Ten a must see movie for thriller fans.
If you like movies and want to rate them for the guys here feel free to comment yourself and review movies you have seen.
I watched Inbetweeners a few weeks ago.
Very funny just like the series, end went a bit typical corny "guy does good" plot line so loses a point for that, but overall highly entertaining and well worth seeing if you like simple humour.
Hangover part 2
I fell asleep in part one but part two kept me entertained. Simple story line but well filmed and great comedy value. Few twists and turns to keep the pace, and a highly entertaining set of stills running through the credits showing the bits you would have imagined through the film.
Recently talking to a guy from Swansea, where it is set, unbelievably had never watched this film, prompted me to again watch "Twin Town" which has got to be my all time favourite and 'gotta be a 10.
Unfortunately few people agree with me on any subject and I'm sure this is no exception
The dark knight.....10 out of 10.....the best comic book adaption period!! maybe even the best film period.....if you stripped away all the comic book elements it could still stand alone as a crime epic. Also im gonna go old school and say Evil dead, 10 out of 10...one of the best horror films of its time
I'm really looking forward to seeing the new Shelock movie i loved the first one.
The Dark knight and Eveil daed are great movies love them.
Inbetweeners was a funny movie but Hangover party 2 i found alittle dull unlike the first one but then what do i know !!!
cheers guys lets have more
Eeek this is good. So I'm getting good music recommendations from one thread, and am desperate for good movie recommendations too. The lonely place to die one looks ace. Saw Sherlock Holmes last night, yes as a woman I'm not going to complain about a bit of Robert Downey Jr, even with a bit of a paunch he's worth watching... but it was action by numbers and nothing compared to the BBC version. Though its just a question of taste though. My husband actually has told me that I should watch Night of the Living Dead as he thought it was my kind of movie.... I am not sure what to think about that.
Went to see Iron Lady yesterday and have decided that Meryl Streep and Margaret Thatcher are twins separated at birth! Fantastic portrayal of Mrs Thatch.
The film is receiving mixed reviews and despite my dislike of her policies, being a geordie with both grandfathers who were coalminers, I really enjoyed the film.
The contrast between the powerful woman that she was, and the sadness of her condition now, suffering with dementia, was very poignant. I enjoyed the "blast from the past" and seeing actual footage of the riots and disharmony of the time.
Think Meryl Streep deserves an oscar.
I'd give the film 8/10.
Cheers all you film buffs.
I refuse to go and see the movie as i can't do with the woman, even though i have to confess that some of what she did was correct ( spits on the floor in disgust ) . As for Merly Streep great actress but i will not waste my time seeing it even in afew years time when it's on TV. LOL I'm not mean bitter and twisted you understand i just can't stand the damn woman.
As for On golden pond i'v never seen it but i believe it's a classic.
Sherlock i need to see soon, the tv version was superb last week.

Unclaimed life insurance benefits. Requires an insurer to perform periodic comparison of certain in-force life insurance policies, annuities, and retained asset accounts against a death master file. Requires an insurer to confirm the possible death of an insured, annuitant, or account owner and determine the benefits due. Provides that if the person to whom the benefits are due is not found, the benefits escheat to the state under the unclaimed property law. Makes an insurer's noncompliance an unfair or deceptive act or practice in the business of insurance.
