ImaginaryRosse dedicated a beautiful artwork to me. Thank you so much!
I really appreciate it! It makes me feel more hopeful and motivated to be more active in the art world once again.
She's one of my favorite digital artists. Here's some of my personal faves from her gallery:

expressing thoughts and feelingsJournal Entry: Thu Aug 9, 2012, 1:29 PM
I normally avoid posting personal feelings, but perhaps that's the issue--that I've trusted nobody with my feelings, including myself! I have repressed so many thoughts and feelings that are not easy to "snap out of." If it was that easy, then I'd already be the person I've always wanted to be. I know that some of you will truly understand me, <3, which is why I am actually posting this .I want to hide nothing about me. I want to be that happy, funny, fun-to-be-around, honest girl again!
I know that I am loved and wanted by certain people in my life, so note that that's not the issue here. The problem is that I have a difficulty living up to other peoples' expectations when I have yet to learn how to truly live up to my own expectations; or our expectations are the same, but I have a slower way of reaching it, due to some weird hesitation that lingers inside my head. I am easily mistaken as a childish person to many people because of the things I have not yet accomplished, due to a disease called "anxiety," which hasn't really been bad lately. But I think that the problem is that I am in "neutral" right now, where I feel like I need to stop and see what I really want, but again, it makes things slower and people more impatient.
Everybody says I am young and have a lot to learn, but I'm still light years behind. I see change on the inside before I see it on the outside, meaning that I value my mind, and when it's chemically imbalanced to the point that I can't be my happy self, and I come off as some quiet, lethargic, strange girl, (with a talented, sweet heart and soul beneath the surface) I then become more concerned about balancing myself, that it makes me not show much interest in "reality" because I am trying to find where I belong with the flow of the Universe. It can take months. And when I begin to feel like, "Omg, I am doing it! I am finally progressing," that's when I am told that I need to work harder on "showing" initiative, then my energy goes downhill again, because only I can see the mental change that was just starting to get me past my irrational fears. I need to learn a technique that will help me find myself from within while I work on accomplishing the requirements for reality.
I had myself convinced that I was ready to be a strong, confident woman that people would adore and want to be around. My friends and family got to know me as a silly, funny, goofy, energetic girl that loved to run and take photos as I journeyed fearlessly into the wilderness, alone and sometimes with friends. Well, the sad thing is that all the new people I've met (in person), have been left with a not-so-good impressions of me: a girl that has a lot of grown up to do, and doesn't go out and get what she wants. Yes, it is true (I'll get to that in a moment), but the thing that sucks is that they didn't even get to witness the "real" me. That was just the "I have a period and I suck at pretending to be okay." Seriously, why do I always get a period when I have a big opportunity to socialize with a group of people where I actually believe I can prove myself as being awesome and fun to be around? Perhaps that was out of context, but wow, I really need to control the mini-depressions I get from PMSing. Gah, if it weren't for that, they would've seen me as a funny goofy girl that wasn't afraid to speak her mind about what she wanted in life. However, in the last 8 months, I've gone completely downhill where I don't know what I want because I became so concerned about what other people thought, but thankfully I am beginning to focus on ME and not worry about what other people think they know.
Now get this: there are things I want out of life, but I become very hesitant because of a sudden overload of uncertain thoughts, or "anxiety" I guess. One hesitant moment can really, really give off a bad impression.
I know that I am strong, but my weakness is having to prove myself to others. Perhaps that's my stubbornness which is much easier to snap out of than the...depression that rise every now and again. Some people find it hard to believe and seriously think it's childish and easy to snap out of. I wish it were! Then I'd have my dream photography business, photoshop action business, and my own home!
I've had the opportunity to experience new adventures and to know what it's like to have reality truly hit me in the heart and in the head (not literally!) but emotionally and mentally. I'm sick and tired of being just a person that people "have" to include, because I'm there or I know that person or whatever. I am trying to make myself more appealing so that people want to know me and want to learn from me. I want to be Julia Starr, a multi-talented girl from Utah that has a passion for photography and teaching others--plus, she's fun to be around, happy, and energetic, and she's got a lot going for her! I was getting there until I subconsciously and unintentionally became out of sync with the world.
I may be quiet at times (or most of the time when I'm feeling lost), but I truly do appreciate the people that I am with right now. It makes me realize that they do care about me, and now it's my turn to love and care about myself and live up to the full potential that I have. It's difficult to naturally be at a different pace than everybody else light years behind, and I mean, literally lol. But the fact is that I know myself and what I am capable of doing, and once I have my mind and heart synced together, I have everything I ever needed. My goal is to do everything for myself and then make everybody proud, not the other way around, which is what I have been doing. =/
I know that the key to happiness is to love myself, to focus on me (but still care of others), and to rely on myself. Duh, that's obvious, but the task is to make it a part of my daily life like I had done practically 2 years ago, which lasted a full year! And it was amazing. This is really a challenge. But I feel better that I finally typed feelings that I've held in for awhile. I used to type a lot of journals about my thoughts and feelings, which eventually made me find myself and feel better about myself to get things done. So perhaps I am going in the right direction. It feels much better to not keep things to myself!

thinking about selling my resources on dAJournal Entry: Thu Jul 26, 2012, 11:32 AM
I am debating if I should sell some of my old actions and wallpapers. I've been very 'eraklfakfkjeghgj' about it because I have been waiting for my designer to finish my personal website. However, before I even upload the old actions for sale, they're not going to be as you've last seen them, because I have made many new changes and wanted them to be exclusive on my own personal website and nowhere else, but for sake of getting something out of the time, dedication, passion, quality and effort I have put into every resource I have ever provided, I might try selling them through the new Premium Content Platform to hold me off until my website is finished.
It's almost been a full year since I had someone start the website, then I had to find a new designer--it's been about 3.5 months since the "start" of the new site. I am now beginning to wonder if there's even a life for me anymore. I am seriously fading away from the things I used to love and I just don't know anymore. It's just nothing.

the zelda project updateJournal Entry: Mon Mar 19, 2012, 12:51 PM
I am excited to now physically be a part of The Zelda Project ! It was a fun experience, however, very exhausting from all of the walking and constantly photographing and filming behind the scenes. It was fun to be next to Indigo76 as he photographed hundreds of photos, and it was sweet to watch Adella be a funny, positive person as she portrayed Malon.
Adella has uploaded a teaser while we work on the other photos. On my behalf, it was a last moment shot I took and I didn't consider it to be valuable, but
since it's posted, I feel happy lol. Just wait until you see Indigo76's shots! They are super amazing !
I have a lot of behind the scenes shots of Link and Malon, but I won't upload those because I don't want to give away the scenes.
Here's a few that Indigo76 photographed of me lol

thoughts and more thoughtsJournal Entry: Thu Feb 9, 2012, 12:14 PM
I don't' type journals much anymore, but when it's 'that time of month' when I become extra, extra hormonal, it makes me feel the need to spill my thoughts and hear from any of you that can understand or have any personal advice.
So...I have been going through so many mental changes. I don't know how much crap I used to share back in my dramatic teen years, but I used to have cold thoughts, watched violent movies, and didn't mind violence or the death of others in movies or reality; I felt nothing, felt no remorse, felt emotionless...but at the same time I was artistically creative It lasted for years, but naturally I have come out of it during the last year and now I feel super squeamish about the littlest violent things or sad stories to the point that it makes me fear independent freedom (like obtaining the resources to get me out of the house, like a car and stuff) and a fear losing control of what I want to accomplish, or just working very hard on something and months later, I realize it's led me nowhere. True story.
When I was going through my cold resentful phase, it did make me super anxious about things, but at the same time, it made me stronger to not fear certain things. I walked around with the "so what" attitude as if nothing mattered all that much and I was able to get some things done. But with that mindset gone, it is good because I feel lifted of dark energy, but the disadvantage is that I was strong for so long in some ways, that I have fallen because I couldn't keep up with it and I am trying to get back to being myself, where I am full of confidence and strengths...but without having to have the bad emotionless cold energy and thoughts there to balance how I move forward.
Lately, like the last year or almost a year or whatever, I have sort of had ideas for new art, but I just feel anxious like I don't have time to do it, or if I do attempt it, I rush it just to get it done so that I can say that I did it. I have no original creativity right now and I feel no creativity after I do something. I just feel like I am doing it as if I am racing time. I feel intimated and insecure when I see artwork that I know I can do, it's just that I lack the true motivation to go out and do it, or a lack of a certain resource.
Here's another annoying opposite: When I didn't used to have the resources or access to good stock imagery, I was always flooded with ideas but couldn't make them because of lack of good resources...but NOW that I have had the opportunity to go out and take thousands of photos with Indigo76 , I now have all the photos I have ever needed for creations I wanted to make years or months ago...and now that I have good stock imagery I've gone out and shot...well, to "naturally" balance that out, I am lacking motivation, creativity, and feeling that time is suffocating me so that either I have to rush things or let it pass by and miss a chance.
It's almost as if not having the darkness around, is unnatural and leaving me imbalanced. Perhaps we all need a little darkness to help us see both sides, to balance our emotions. But without it, I just feel kinda empty like I am reliving irrational thoughts everyday, which are stopping me from getting a driver's license . Seriously, how the hell does one grasp the strength of getting out of these irrational fears?
A few years ago, I was deathly afraid of crowds and being around people, but not afraid to be in a car. And now it's the total opposite! I am not afraid to be around crowds or people in general (just shy naturally, but not anywhere near deathly afraid), but I am now fearing driving and being inside of a car even when someone else is driving. It's like, for me, everything has to be "either/or". Either you fear learning to driving, but feel okay around people; or you succeed at driving, but die of anxiety from being around people.
Ughh! Seriously! How the F do I grow up?!!!! lol This is so childish. I am 21 years old and I am mentally mature for my age when it comes to the deep outlook on life and seeing the world with no boundaries, but yet I am like 6 years behind on the common things that should already be done, like obtaining a driver's license, having a real first job, and confidence.
What kind of techniques will help me shift my mindset so that it's not "either/or", so that I can be confident to practicality do everything!
I know it takes practice and experience to gain confidence, but any advice or techniques to help get me focuse on the positive things would really help!
Basically, when I break it down, I am simply lacking confidence, a sexy positive attitude, motivation, and determination. It will come and go, as if I am a little bipolar, but I want to make it take over the negative thoughts and feelings. I bet once I can gain control of confidence and all that great stuff, then I will feel complete and accomplished more than usual.
Sometimes I ask myself: Is it an unfortunate waste of time that I am still fighting and looking forward to selling my resources whenever my website is finished? Or is it fortunate and should I keep working on it even though it's been months with many delays? Does it even matter anymore? I put so much work and dedicated time to create resources, that I am just falling way from my senses and it will just be another one of those things I put years of work into and then it just....doesn't happen, like my stories I spent 7 years writing. lol. Yes, a complete waste of life and I have to pretend it didn't happen because it's irrational and many people just don't get it =/ but it's what gave me purpose for those empty years. So it's as if I woke from a coma with a huge gap there. But those were more personal and rarely shared.
But what the hell am I supposed to do? Forget it? I don't have the money to frickin' pay somebody over a grand to make me a professional, custom e-commerce website and to get it done ASAP like within a month. The entire point to have a website, is to still continue being generous and providing even better resources than I've shared here, and to sell my damn stuff so that I can actually make money to go towards my living expenses, and because I know I am good at what I do and people love what I do, so I am gaining confidence there. It's been over 4 years since I started providing actions, and over 5 years when I started stock photography. Slow gain of confidence, but I think I have enough to start selling it finally! Argh but when!!!!!!! I just want to eat a piece of creamy chocolate cake and then cry like there's no tomorrow.
Here's my website so far: nightfateactions.com/ &nb… just a big test mode right now. Things aren't properly aligned and the store functions are not complete, etc. I don't understand that stuff and my lovely webdesigner is having personal medical issues, which I hope she recovers from so that she can continue to do what she loves. She sells some lovely digital scrapbook resources: justjaimee.com/ I suggest you check it out if you are a digital scrapbooker It's been awhile since she's worked on the site, but I am still very thankful she even offered to create it for free! but just to have my products in return and to give back to me for giving so much to people Well, I can afford that compared to $2,000+ which I don't even have!
I guess I am just upset at myself for not even trying to understand the complex functions lol. I can make pages and stuff, but when it comes to the store stuff and aligning content that can only be done in the CSS scripts, my brain explodes! It's like not my area of expertise.
Oh my, I just go on and on don't I? I need to be bitched slapped. Seriously! I am just having a day.

behind the scenesJournal Entry: Fri Jan 20, 2012, 9:25 PM
I didn't take many 'behind the scenes' shots, but this basically what it was like.
The water started looking like pee as the colors washed off and then it turned more green. I had the camera set up on a tripod as close as I could get, and then I used Live view on the screen and set the 100mm macro lens to manual so that I could manually focus it on the dripping water. (I had previously used the tinsel for some natural bokeh effects like in this shot: night-fate.deviantart.com/art/…
I was trying to take two different kinds of photos at once lol. It's better to start with one thing and then try the other.
This is what it looked like through Live view, and then when I shot random photos using the internal flash, I get random results. Once it's focused where the water is dripping, then it's not as frustrating...that is, if you're using a tripod. However, it sometimes gets frustrating that you can't really get as close with a tripod, then you find yourself trying to hold it steady and as close as you can get not fun!...unless you start to capture a few awesome shots that are in nice focus.
Here's some other examples:
It died!!!!!!!! So now I have to get a new one. I'm kinda anxious to try some new colors though--colors that are not super vibrant.
The fun part is that you can be lazy. It was a gloomy day today and I simply wore my pajamas.

Update with FeaturesJournal Entry: Wed Dec 28, 2011, 3:22 PM
I know I've been very distant from deviantart. I've just been going through a "what do I want in life" phase, ya know? It has dragged on month after month, but every once and awhile I do find my creativity again. I post more on my facebook fan page and my personal website more than here, and one of my 2012 resolutions is to be more active in the artist community once again. I miss doing features of art. I also want to share more stock photos too, and feature stock there too. But after a lot of struggling with my creativity, it finally struck me after all these weeks and a few months or so, that I now have a friggin' nice collection of my own high res photos from various locations I shot since last year and mostly these last two months since I've moved to the west coast. And so....I have no excuse not to make art; I can make so much personal art with my own photos now. They are pretty naturally, but it hasn't made me feel entirely complete, and so I realized that when I manipulate my photos into a realistic scenery, but of something that is obviously fictional based on how I feel mentally and emotionally, that seems to make me feel more connected with myself. So I will try to have 1-2 things per week to share so that I can get back into the community since I worked years on getting to where I left off. I wasn't feeling satisfied with my art style. I feel like I am trying to find myself again. So hopefully 2012 is my year to shine again, hehe.
Anyway, here's a few features of some art that I personally enjoy!
I normally don't feature myself, but I'm trying to be more confident about my work because it's changing as I change. I'm between photography and photo-manipulation.

new photos and stuffJournal Entry: Wed Oct 19, 2011, 12:27 PM
I have been busy working on my blog website and making new pages for my tutorials, because I am going to rewrite my tutorials from deviantart and post them into blog form and video later on.
I haven't had much time to experiment with photography, but I do have a few new blogs with some photos that are exclusively on there. Uploading them on deviantart would make them look average and boring. But on my personal website, they seem to be the only kind of their own and new from me, considering I always lived in a desert area and other stuff, ya know?
My latest experiment was shooting macros of oil and water: night-fate.com/2011/10/macro-e…
And the previous was my first experience visiting sea cliffs: night-fate.com/2011/10/sea-cli…
Eventually when I actually plan these things, I will have some unique photos. I plan to take long exposure shots of the ocean. I found a lot of pretty beach areas with rocks.
So basically, I don't upload much on deviantart, because what I am doing right now with photography, is what most people would call, "seen it before; see it everywhere" or whatever. And so I feel comfortable with my photos posted on my site where it's not mixed with other similar art. It's just my own space exclusively sharing photos of new changes in my life, as for dA, many people would probably assume that just another photo of the ocean, is just another lame photo of the ocean and not understand that it's personal to me because
it's so new to me. I am so thankful for blogs/personal websites!

Devious Journal EntryJournal Entry: Thu Sep 22, 2011, 11:36 AM
I visit dA everyday but I don't really have much to say or do. It's not really my place anymore.
It's time for my own personal place.
I am going to work on actual photography for my www.night-fate.com , which I want to convert to
nightfatephotography.com , because some day, I will have awesome photos lol. The kind of photos that
people will buy commercially. I am determined to work on it and have a quiet, hidden passion for it.
And my resource site will be www.nightfateactions.com . I have no idea when it will be finished.
The logo is the only thing that's finished.
So I will have to convert my best tutorials into blog format and video format, and then I will take down all of my actions and share selected sets on my website, and then sell what I do. Because it's only fair that I do that now, so I can stop being taken for granted. Because no, my actions you see now will not always be there. I have to step out of my kind shy space and be a little feisty to get things fair on my end. So save them now, respect it, and back them up, because I am very annoyed when people keep asking me to give them sets they have lost. I've been kindly doing requests and given out sets people have lost for months now and it's very aggravating after awhile.
And then I will also sell some high res textures. But I will keep my night-fate-stock because I'm not too worried about making new stock. I am more concerned about getting actual finished artwork out there in the world. Stock doesn't do much for me anymore. I will still share some new stock pics, but not a huge variety like I've done in the past.
Anyway, whenever my action website is finished, and when I move selected actions over to it, then I will remove them from here, as well as my tutorials. DeviantArt was a great place to start, but after awhile you see things that begin to annoy you, and it's time for me to be a leader on my own site where I will have new never before seen resources that you can have for free for the sake of learning.
Until then, I don't really have time to create new art. I am busy working on the content for my action website, and then I do upload some blogs on my night-fate.com
But I will let you know when I have the site ready so you can find new free and exclusive resources.
Which makes me very thankful for everybody via Facebook who contributed photos ever so kindly to be a part of my future action community!
Yay, I was so shy to ask for favors haha. But that will sooo help me get things started and previewed professionally.

cat vs. other artworkJournal Entry: Tue Aug 30, 2011, 1:15 PM
90% of why I uploaded a cat photo, was to see how much more it would be recognized than
other work that I put a lot of time into. I actually took time to think whether or not
I wanted to upload the photo, because I was thinking, "I dunno if I should upload this.
It's simple but so many people get orgasms over a cute-looking cat."
But seriously, I was also curious how much more attention it would get compared to
my hard work that I wish would get more, because my cat photo does not show
my emotions. I like cats and it does show I am a cat person, and it was a happy moment... but it's not showing a painful emotion that had hours put into it. I prefer people to relate to my art pieces that show pain.
The other 10% was just to share something new from me, even though seeing a cat is something we all see lol. But from my gallery, personally, it is something new, ya know? Throughout the deviantart community, it is by no means anything new. For example, taking the cat photo wasn't terribly tricky. It was a little hard cause she kept moving around, but it wasn't all that annoying to deal with her.
As for my nature photos, like the macro shots of plants or the landscapes, that takes more time and effort, considering I walk everywhere to take photos.
I spend hours outside under scary storms in a field, or under the hot sun. It gets very exhausting. Then coming home to edit the pics takes a few hours. And I am just very tired by then, with housecleaning to finish.
As for the photo-manipulations, I sit on my ass for 3 + hours struggling to find images and put together the piece, it requires so much more dedication and emotion for me to create a manipulation, especially using a model. Because the only time I really make manipulations now days, is to express deep lost emotions.
For me, now days, it's not necessarily blending the pics together that takes time, but to express it just right. But it's not as recognized like a cat photo.
Yikes! I don't think I want to upload another cat photo if it's going to get more attention than my actual hard work that I put time, effort, and dedication to complete. BUT the viewers are the ones that choose whether they like it or not. I have no desire to be one who forces or spams people to look at my work. They can look at it if they choose to do so.
I know a lot of people like happy photos, and I do have a happy side now, and that's why else I have been uploading photography with warm inviting colors, because it doesn't take tears and mental screams of pain to create like some of my manipulations. Though, soon I will be photographing people to express those mental screams of pain . Until then, it's manipulations I can only express it through.
So it is official: an image of a cute moment of a cat, will get more attention than your hard, hard work that you put painful emotion into creating.
True story.
It does not look impressive to me. It was just simply something new to show I was having a good time, and feeling cute and happy.
I spent hours working on that and I was in the kind of mood it shows. And it's like a knife to my head that
my hard hard harrrrrrd work is just in the background.

photoshop tutorialsJournal Entry: Thu Aug 25, 2011, 11:24 AM
I am beginning to help matteo revive the forever-ago-created PhotoshopTutorials group.
So if you would like to share tutorials, that would be awesome to get it going again.
But read the guidelines on the front page and understand that it is for TUTORIALS. not photoshop actions or stock photos. but Photoshop Tutorials. PHOTOSHOP.
Creations which require the use of photoshop.
Any tutorials containing terrible end results where even a beginner would know it was bad, or the use of copyrighted photography/celeb images, will be declined.
Basically a clean, readable tutorial using stock photos, your own images/concepts, will be allowed with no questions asked.

victim of art4loveJournal Entry: Sat Aug 20, 2011, 3:45 PM
I thought I'd make a quick journal with my stolen texture
It's just annoying and maddening that all this really happened to a lot of people (by someone who got away with it for awhile).
My artwork and stock art have been stolen before, but mostly on stupid ugly websites where the people
have very little power and no idea how to remove a watermark.
The more research I do on the Chad Love Lieberman, it gets more and more annoying and absurd that such a creature exists.

It takes sooo much time but I hope to have most of it finished by the end of the week. The URL is night-fate.com but it's not viewable just yet.

do actions work in ps elements?Journal Entry: Mon Jun 13, 2011, 6:13 PM
I am beginning to work on my photoshop action website,
but I must know if my actions work in Photoshop Elements.
If they do, let me know from your experience. Do they install the same
as Adobe Photoshop CS + ( Window > Actions > then go to the palette and load them from there.)
Or do they have to be converted?
Are there certain effects that don't work with it?
I'd like to know. And if you have experience with both photoshops, let me know
which versions.
Now days I make my actions in CS4.
but ahhhh let me know how they work for you so I know which programs
they're compatible with.

what am I doingJournal Entry: Tue May 31, 2011, 8:09 PM
I haven't obviously been making many photomanipulations. It was something I did when I was afraid to go outside because of my
pointless fears So I kept indoors and dwelt on the past and created digital art based on those feelings.
But lately I have been getting out of the house more and I have been doing so much better at being myself and not being afraid to be around people.
That basically means that I'd photograph a stranger and not feel so self-conscious. But right now I have only really photographed
a few friends, or people I don't know personally-personally, but they like what I do lol. I am also beginning to photograph myself. I want to experiment with
makeup and portrait shots.
I have been taking more photos recently because right now photomanipulation cannot show everything that I want to express. I am becoming a little more
simple instead of complicated. So I want to work with light soft colors through photography.
If I wait to make a manipulation, then you probably won't see anything posted on my profile for awhile, but if I share
photos I've taken , then it won't seem like I am away from the site, because I am on here everyday.
Then when I feel that the only way to express my feelings is through a manip, then I will make a new one.
After I finish a few commissions I am working on, then I will make some new photo edit tutorials on the black-white stuff I've been doing
recently. And also some new actions and stuff.

frustration and website stuffJournal Entry: Thu Apr 28, 2011, 8:00 PM
I always thought that I would like being on deviantart. I used to think, "this will be my main art profile forever!"
But over time I've realized that I need a personal and professional website with my own work. And I am slowly working on it.
On my own website, I'll be able to have it be my own personal space not mixed with annoying copyrighted
work. For example, I hate when I browse actions on deviantart, and abaout 97% of the ps action sets are amateur, meaning that the previews are the usual
annoying copyrighted celeb images and other peoples copyrighted images. It's so unoriginal to use those kinds of images.
Then there are some sets that look very similar to my own sets. Some of these amateurs that just barely start making actions and selling them,
will use some of the images I use on my own (which is okay, because at least they're stock photos), but then some of their sets
look so much like my style of actions. I should just make like 15 out 148 of my sets available, then if I feel secure, I will restore another
set. But I should make the sets smaller to 2-4 instead of 2-8. I used to make even larger sets, but that was back in the day when I didn't
care how my stuff was being used, just as long as I was being helpful with nothing in return.
I will still be kind and provide some new free stuff on this account and my stock account, and my own website in the future. But I will provide it in smaller quantities; not huge collections like I've done for the last 3.5 years.
You see, I want to put together a website for my actions and make it public maybe by mid summer if at all possible.
I have been taking down a lot of sets for the sake of what "I want" now, and what I need, instead of continuing to please others
based off their certain needs, it's time that I do what I want. Not what random people want. I've done a crap load of free
stuff for strangers and also people I know. And sometimes I don't even get a "thanks" in return. It's like a "hit-and-run." I'm just a talented
obstacle that people can get free work out of. Then some people will talk to me and comment on my work, then shorly after fade away then
come back when they want something.
For example, my little sister can be a demonic bitch to my mom, but when she wants something, she
acts like an innocent princess and say...maybe gets money even though my mom can't afford to hand out money like that. (actually my brother is the one always going to her for money). True story. Happens most everyday. Except in my case, people aren't mean to me, they just act childish (plz, i haz request, plz plz plzzzzzzzzzzz plz!) and only add me so they can ask for free stuff, and act like they're horny and hyper or something. I dunno!!!
And another example, my little brother and sister are not very appreciative of the things they already have, (especially when it comes to cell phones. I use a crappy cell phone but I'm thankful I have one that works for talking and texting and that's about it. it's like they have to have the newest of things and what they want exactly, as if that's true happiness. ughhhh!)
So when you see the resources I have provided, and something doesn't fit your exact mood or what you're looking for,
just think of it like, "wow, free shit!" and try it out and be thankful. Though, I am sorry I have taken down a lot of sets. They're in my gallery storage.
I'm just frustrated and raging with imbalanced hormones.
For so long I was totally happy and loving to help people if they gave me a request. If they said, "I'd pay your for it"
I'd be shy about it because I didn't want to have them pay and then be unhappy with my work because I was self-conscious
for so long. But now I'm just to the point where I am not going to be shy about it anymore.
I am taking it personal and getting frustrated and annoyed when people keep bugging me
or practically adding me as a friend on Facebook and only talk to me when they want something...free, of course.
Does that just mean I am being used or something?
I mean, they're nice but "only" talk to me or message me when they want a free request. And it never used to bother me until
these last few months.
Even if it's "one" action, it gets frustrating to make it, send it, wait for their reply, fix it or remake it until their pleased.
That's totally fine if I am actually getting paid for the time and effort to make it right for them, because I am to the point where professionally (and based on my personal life) that I need to set prices and stuff, but I'll have to wait until I get website for this stuff so that it's all straightforward
and professionally laid out.
This is an example of Exclusive sets I am working on, but I can't sell them until I get this website concept created.
For each photo I take, if it's useful enough to make various effects based on the original images, I will make it into its own collection.
And I've done lots of browsing on selling actions, and I've seen sets of 2 actions or even 1 action being sold for like 10-20$. Which is
a fair price if you're professional at what you do. If you're a customer, you mustn't look at the price and be like "whhhaaaat?"
You must consider if they're professional and trustworthy at what they do and respect what they're doing. Don't complain that the prices are too much
because actions are normally sold for very high prices. If it's someone who sucks at making actions, then that wouldn't be a fair price.
But before I raise prices to be very pricey, I need to have more access to taking amazing photos.
But for a start with what I have, I won't charge that much for 2-5 actions until my
action website gets more known whenever that may be, and not until I have awesome photo collections of my own photos.
So anyway, for my exclusive sets, I will make sets of 2 or 1, then maybe even a variety set. So it will be that you either
buy the sets you want individually, or the entire collection. And I will also make special offers and discounts. Cause I want to do fun
photo shoots based on holidays, then make actions based on those themes.
Honestly, I have had some good business in the past, with my custom action thingy, and even only with 8 exclusive action sets up for sale. I had made pretty good money that I could have afforded a nice lens or road trip adventure if I think of all the money I had made but had to use for the sake of life and you know, having an ill mother and helping her out with bills and food and stuff, even for myself too, because I live with my mom lol. But right now I am not selling any actions because I don't have them up for sale because I am totally revamping everything and wanting to get a friggin' website made for it. Then later I will make an art portfolio. But actions first, because that will get me somewhere.
So I am busy trying to make the "real" website for all this stuff. Well I'm not actually making the website at the moment, but I think I found a layout I like, but I am working on making the action sets and figuring out how this will work.
I have spent so much time making my actions in easy-to-adjust layers, for in case something about it doesn't look good on your images personally,
and at least on my exclusive sets, I have been making them so they work in Photoshops that are run as a different language other than English.
And, also, they work with older photoshops.
I sm glad I have experience with the non CS versions, because I know what effects will and will not work, so I avoid those effects in my CS4. I see professional photographers selling their actions that are only for CS +, but mine will be saying
"Ps 6, 7, Cs +" because I've used them in those versions, and I even used my actions in Photoshop Elements 3! (i think that's the one. but it was on a friend's computer with a cheap Adobe Photoshop that was like way cheap, and I saw the Actions palette, and thought I outta try it and it worked with my effects.)
So I could sell more, knowing lots of people do have those older photoshops.
It's unprofessional of me to be so free and giving. I can begin to sell more than I provide for free, but
I just want people to know that I put a lot of time and effort into the tutorials, stock, and actions I've provided in the past.
So I think most everybody that's been following and respecting my resources for awhile now, actually understand
that my resources will be trustworthy when I put lots of stuff up for sale on my future website.

Chinese city detains 1,300 in compulsory sterilisation drive
Posted By Jennie Chancey on April 16, 2010
No comment necessary on this one:
Chinese family planning authorities have detained 1,300 people to sterilise as part of a crackdown on parents who violate strict birth control rules. Authorities in Puning, a city in southern China's Guangdong province, have detained the men and women against their will in cramped offices, according to state media. There they are being forced to listen to lectures on laws limiting the size of families.
Officials in Puning last week launched a 20-day campaign to sterilise 9,559 women or their husbands who they suspect of planning to have a second or third child.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – The lack of qualified professionals in Brazil is forcing companies from different sectors to create their own training centers to educate workers.
The initiative is a stopgap in response to the combination of Brazil's recent accelerated economic growth and its deficient educational system, analysts say.
As the number of airline passengers has grown continuously during the previous years, the aviation sector is offering extensive training programs to prospective employees to keep up with its increasing customer base. In 2010, 154.3 million people traveled by plane in Brazil – 20% more than in 2009 – according to state-owned Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company (Infraero).
The main cause for the increase in air travel was the expansion of Brazil's so-called C class – an economic classification that includes families earning between R$1,125 (US$826) and R$4,854 (US$3,566) per month. As Brazilians ascended the economic ladder, they stopped travelling by bus and took to the skies.
"The inefficiency of the country's educational system and the growing number of openings has required companies to accelerate the development of their professionals."
In addition, the introduction of new competitors to the air travel market – such as Azul airlines, which began operating in Brazil in December 2008 – increased competition, bringing down prices and attracting more passengers.
The result? More customers caused airlines to need more pilots, flight attendants and maintenance technicians.
But the demand is so high it's difficult to find these professionals in the marketplace, airline officials say.
Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes – the second-largest air carrier in the country – created the Gol Institute, a pioneer employee training center launched this past December.
The inaugural class, which will begin later this year, will include 70 men and women under the age of 22 who studied in public schools, received high grades and possessed strong attendance records.
At the end of the course, which is scheduled to last two months, the 10 best students will be selected to work in the company as apprentices.
The classes are free and include mathematics, physics, Portuguese, English and aerodynamics.
In the beginning, all of the courses will be geared toward finding airplane maintenance technicians. It is no coincidence Gol Institute is headquartered in Lago Santa in the Minas Gerais state. The city is home to the company's maintenance center, which is the largest in Latin America.
"The Institute grew out of a need to train a specialized workforce for the aviation sector," says Felipe Sommer, director of Management and Employee Relations at Gol. "Gol has a focused business plan. Attentive to the outlook for growth, it took prior internal action that guarantees its sustainability, which includes an increase in the number of employees."
Gol also is considering creating a pilot training center.
A study by the Boeing Corporation estimates 37,000 pilots and 44,000 maintenance personnel will be needed in Latin America by 2029.
OSX to introduce Naval Technology Institute
The situation is no different in the naval sector. OSX, part of a group of companies controlled by Brazilian businessman Eike Batista and focused on shipbuilding and leasing, also is planning to establish a personnel training center.
The measure is being taken as a precaution, given that OSX has not yet concluded work on its shipyard, located in northern Rio de Janeiro state.
Regardless, the company's CEO, Luiz Eduardo Carneiro, already has plans for the Naval Technology Institute (ITN).
"It will operate in partnership with recognized educational institutes in Brazil and abroad, with the objective of being a national reference in naval construction," he says.
More than 7,300 technicians specializing in equipment production, inspection and supervision are expected to be trained by 2013.
The creation of in-house training centers is a growing trend, according to the Hay Group, a human resources consulting firm.
"Companies have been looking for ways to train their employees, creating partnerships with schools, universities and suppliers, because there is a general lack of skilled professionals, not only at the management level, but also at the technical and operational level," says Glaucy Bocci, a specialist in leadership and talent management at the Hay Group.
Lack of professionals in the oil and gas sector
The oil and gas sector is another area that's suffering from a lack of trained professionals.
The sector's deficit of experienced engineers has reached 15% in Brazil, which represents a shortage of 35,000 professionals per year, according to a recent survey by the Hay Group.
Figures such as these led the federal government to create a partnership in 2003 with the state oil company Petrobras, the sector's most important player.
That year witnessed the creation of the National Oil and Natural Gas Industry Mobilization Program (Prominp), which has an objective to maximize the participation of Brazilian companies in all projects.
One of Prominp's initiatives is the National Vocational Training Plan, which includes free courses for 185 different professional categories, at all levels of instruction.
Unemployed students qualify for a monthly grant of between R$300 (US$220) and R$900 (US$660).
By the end of 2010, 78,000 had been trained. Another 212,000 are expected to receive training by 2014.
Nearly 80 teaching institutions in 17 Brazilian states are involved in the initiative. Petrobras, which is responsible for a majority of the initiative's resources, already has invested R$228 million (US$167 million) in the project.
Students who have taken part in the Prominp training have their résumés available in an online database, which can be accessed by 4,000 registered oil and gas companies.
The student employment index has reached 81%, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Labor.
Chemical engineer Rodrigo Stockmann, 31, is one of the project's success stories.
In 2006, after graduating from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF), he enrolled in one of the Prominp courses.
The classes, which last for a little over a year, aim to train the students to be process engineers.
"Three months after the course began, I'd already been hired by Petrobras, and I work there to this day," Stockmann says.
But a Prominp diploma does not guaranteed a job.
Eduardo Trindade, a 40-year-old civil engineer, saw the program as a chance to change careers.
He spent six months in the Plant Design Management System (PDMS) design course. He's had two interviews, but has not received a job offer.
"I wanted to break into the oil sector, which is such a promising field, but I guess my profile isn't a good fit yet," says Trindade, who owns a telecommunications company.

"This is a great recipe. I was a bit short on limes, so used the juice of a meyer lemon to bring it to the required 1/4 cup. It still tasted great.

"VOF Week 4: (A world of freedom)."
I dream of a world of equality. A world were women can shout, jump, laugh aloud, dance and has right to wear the dress she wants, to wear miniskirt or buqua of her choice . Its a world were she is not sold for dowry , were she will gets education, food and shelter, were she is not raped or sexually abused, were she is not put in dark rooms in times of menstruations, a world were she is treated in a dignified and respectful manner, were she has the voice and choice and were she decides to live a life of her choice, were there is law and society to safeguards her right as an individual. I dream of a society were I can lie down or walk at night in streets (today I would be raped or sexually abused) and see the sky without any restriction / social taboos . Women activists here conducts protest programs like 'conquering the night' because night is not accessible to women. On that day women sing and dance and spend the whole night in the streets. .
I want to be a correspondent because many issues of women are not taken up or reported by the mainstream media . Mainstream media wants a victim and not a women who fights for her rights whether it is in the issue of sexual abuse or suicide or trafficking. The male dominant media finds interest in reporting the chastity or immoral stories of the victim. They even come up saying that the mother/relatives of the girl are prostitute so such atrocity might happen to the girl. I feel that the patriarchal media gives least importance to women's issue .The mainstream media report the story of politicians having dinner with some film actors more important than human rights issue or the women issues.
The mainstream patriarchal media is neither gender sensitive nor they cant even identify the issue or recognize them. Here i find my space as a correspondent in PulseWire . I feel that women are treated merely as sexual objects and men think it's their right to abuse or enforce power upon women . Often in interviews men says that rape occurs because of the dress wore by the women and justifies the violent inhuman act. In my country I feel that women want to speak up but they have no space. Pulse world could be the voice of thousands of women in my country who are yet to be heard by the society or by the media. Two years before a dalit women was killed by a group of men saying she was immoral. Men threw stones on her, she ran and fell into a well and was killed. None of the media reported it . when we went there we found people treating the issue as if she had to be killed due to her immoral behavior. Being a correspondent I could help women to develop an alternative space were she can speak for herself and bring forth the suffering , inequalities and injustice she faces in their society. I can make their voice heard to an international audience . Some of the issue can be addressed or legal / humanitarian support/help can be provided to the victims .
I think pulse world is a women world and there is no patriarchal values or structure to silence me .Moreover I think women all over the world could understand the problems of women rather than men. Pulse world has many members from all over the world with whom I want to share the stories both positive and negative . And finally this is the space were I am encouraged to write and were people are responding to my stories and were i hear a thousand of unheard voices of women.
dear geedha, it's empowering
dear geedha,
it's empowering reading your post! keep your spirit high and we'll be soaring together the journey towards freedom! I'm sure we can make beautiful changes for women lives in our own little ways.
best wishes,
your dreams
Dear Geedha,
Thank you so much for sharing your vision with us here at World Pulse, you have a very powerful vision of the future, and it is through words of women like yourself that we can begin to manifest and change the way women are viewed in this world, and particularly in cultures of such strong oppression.
I wish you well and am sending you strength to continue the work that you have been called to do.
In Peace,
Nikki Jardin
Hi Geedha, I hear your voice
Hi Geedha,
I hear your voice so loud and clear. And I agree with you 100%. I especially agree with your statement, "Mainstream media wants a victim and not a women who fights for her rights whether it is in the issue of sexual abuse or suicide or trafficking." I studied journalism at university and something that has always stuck in my mind and bothered me about mainstream media is this rule, if it bleeds, it leads. While it's important to hear those tragic stories to educate ourselves and others on the abuses of women, it's also important to hear the success stories and to encourage society to embrace the empowerment of women, rather than just having pity on them. I am so happy that you came to PulseWire and have taken part in VOF. I look forward to continue reading your smart and inspirational journals.
Warm regards,
The disconnect
Hi geedha
Thank you for your assignment. I am also from India and I am constantly disheartened by how much disconnect there is between the cities and the villages, and sometimes even within different sections of the society in the same city. How women are treated is so different from family to family, community to community in India. Even so, overall, equality in its truest form is not present between genders. You bring alive some of the darkest experiences of women in our country. You also bring alive your vision for the future :)
Good job!

What is Karma? Karma is a Sanskrit word that means "action." Karma has commonly been considered a punishment for past bad actions, but karma is neither judge nor jury. Rather, it is simply the universal law of cause and effect that says every thought, word and act carries energy into the world and affects our present reality.
From sustainability viewpoint, how does karma apply? Consider the qualities of kindness, generosity and willingness related to our planet, its resources, and communities which we live:
• Kindness in a sustainable lifestyle is not only being kind to our planet, but kind to each other. Compassion for where each of us is in relation to the green path.
• Generosity in green living is not only sharing eco awareness and eco resources, but also going above and beyond to inspire, promote, and encourage others on the green path.
• Willingness in green living is demonstrating your values through eco action and generating results.
As noted in our eco friendly consulting, green living evolves. For those well versed in sustainability concepts, a sustainable lifestyle may be very different compared to someone just beginning to make sustainable life changes. Keeping the karma in balance, there are eco actions that can be categorized in different areas of our lives.
• Protect natural resources: start by rethinking consumption patterns for energy and water needs and identify ways to curb unnecessary consumption.
• Limit waste: start by eliminating food waste. Pre plan your meals, buy in bulk, and prepare what you need. Compost and turn your old food into healthy soil.
• The post, Green living: How to Shop Green, illustrates how to purchase items with the eco awareness in mind.
• Inspire others: adopt a green attitude. The post, The Benefits to Living a Green Lifestyle, offers inspiration to begin taking eco action.
• Measure your results! SAP's Carbon Exploration: Your Personal Green Scorecard for Green Living highlights areas for improvements in living green.
While eco awareness is important, demonstrating sustainability values through eco action is key. "Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice." ~ Dhammapada, Sayings of the Buddha, Pali Cannon

When Did America Start Settling for Second Best?
When Richard Nixon shocked the 1972 Republican Convention by picking Spiro Agnew, the comparatively unknown governor of Maryland, as his running mate, Jules Witcover recounts that he told reporters at a press party the next day: "There is a mysticism about men. There is a quiet confidence. You look a man in the eye and you know he's got it - brains. This guy has got it. If he doesn't, Nixon has made a bum choice."
Five years later, the verdict was in, and Agnew became the first vice president in American history ever forced to resign, in a payoff scandal. It's only taken five weeks since John McCain picked Sarah Palin to reach a similar judgment: McCain has made a bum choice.
Oh, I'll grant that, in pure political terms, the choice of Palin may yet turn out to have been one that helps McCain, with fundraising, voter turnout, money for field operations, and a conservative backlash that energizes his base. If he wins the election it will still probably be at least partly because of Palin, not in spite of her.
But in some larger, more fundamental sense, the choice is a bum one for what it says about McCain's willingness to contribute so materially to a national trend I never dreamed he'd embrace: The celebration of mediocrity, and its active enshrinement as a virtue in political life. Of course, plenty of mediocrities have held the presidency. But - as a rule - they won because they managed to paper over their deficiencies, or at least fool the voters into thinking they were better than they were.
In Palin, we at last have a candidate who touts her sheer ordinariness as a prime qualification for the job. "I think they're just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It's time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency," Palin said of her critics on Hugh Hewitt's radio show. "And I think that that's kind of taken some people off guard, and they're out of sorts, and they're ticked off about it, but it's motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our ticket is victorious, and we put government back on the side of the people of Joe six-pack like me."
Leave aside the question of whether we really want a vice president who says "it's motivation for I to work harder." (Detectives and politicians over the years have routinely begun confessions to me by saying, "Between you and I, Todd ") And stipulate to the virtues of Joes, and six-packs, all over this great land. That's not the point. Here's the point: Jimmy Carter had his failings, but he had the right question when he asked, "Why not the best?"
Why not, indeed? Isn't that what we want for our children, to do well in school, get good grades, find good jobs, lead fulfilling lives and raise their own children to do better still? What's wrong with that? When did excellence go out of fashion? Why is it something to mock? When did settling for second-best become the American way?
In October 2000, I told my wife I had a funny feeling George W. Bush would win the White House over Al (Sigh no More) Gore. My reason? I saw a car driving down Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles with a bumper sticker that bragged: "My son beat up your honor student."
So what about this deal? I won't make fun of Sarah Palin for the many things she doesn't know (plenty of which I don't know, either), if she won't make fun of me for the few things I've spent a lifetime doing my best to learn? Seems fair and balanced to me.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say two teens who went missing while fishing on the Loosahatchie River in Shelby County have been found alive.
Shelby County sheriff's office spokesman Chip Washington says 16-year-old Brandon Denge and 17-year-old Landon Cross were found Tuesday morning about 3 1/2 miles from where they launched their boat Monday afternoon.
Washington says a wildlife officer in a kayak found the boys on the riverbank and they appeared to be safe.
The teens went fishing at about 3 p.m. Monday and were reported missing after they did not return.
Rescuers found their vehicle and their capsized boat before finding the teens. Washington says the teens boys managed to grab a tree branch and pull themselves onto the riverbank after their boat capsized.

Abdelrahman, Ali Mohamed (1997) Integration Protocols for Voice and Data Traffic. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Increasing demands for multimedia services offer integration of multimedia traffic as a hot issue in the future research areas. As a result, in the literature, many multiplexing schemes have been proposed. However, most of them have been implemented with a high complexity, others may be non-effective to satisfy the multiplexing performance criteria, while the rest are still not subjected to a wide range of analysis. Therefore, there is a critical need for comparing some of the recommended multiplexing schemes as well as developing a simple and effective integration protocol while still achieving reasonable bandwidth utilization. This thesis is intended to examine integration protocols for multimedia traffic, with primary focusing on voice-data integration. Firstly, a survey of the existing multiplexing schemes and related issues are presented. Next, an Adaptive Round Robin (ARR) protocol is proposed, as an alternative for voice-data integration, and extensively simulated. Finally, further comparisons, based on computer simulations, are carried out for various multiplexing schemes including Strictly Priority Servicing (SPS), Fixed Round Robin (FRR), Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation/(T1, T2) and Queue Length Threshold (QLT).As a contribution of the thesis, the proposed protocol tries to avoid the drawbacks of the previous multiplexing schemes besides satisfying the multiplexing performance criteria. The protocol differs from the others in that, it gives a limited priority for voice over data, it organizes the incoming packets to the single First-in First-out (FIFO) output buffer rather than the only outgoing scheduling, i.e., all data sources are polled in order according to the adaptation policy; however, before a data source can send a packet, all active voice sources are polled in order. Thus it provides an improvement in voice delay performance without significant effect on data delay performance over previous protocols. In addition, simulation comparisons between various multiplexing schemes have been discussed. In these simulations voice packets are assumed to be generated from on-off sources (talkspurt-silence calls), which is closer to reality and which is not considered in most of the performance analyses of previous schemes.

I had rhinoplasty 25 years ago and was never really happy with the result. I would like to have a second rhinoplasty, but now have deep puffy bags under eyes. If I were to get a lower blepharoplasty and then have rhinoplasty six months to a year later, would the rhinoplasty stretch out the skin below my eyes?
The best secondary rhinoplasty plastic surgeon I know is Dr. Jack Gunter in Dallas, TX. Rhinoplasty after eyelid surgery does not negate the eyelid surgery. There is no relationship.
No--they are unrelated areas. You could even have the procedure performed at the same operation.
Rhinoplasty & Eyelid Surgery – Certainly, one can do eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty at the same time. I usually perform the blepharoplasty first and then do the rhinoplasty at the end of the operative procedure. One procedure does not adversely effect the other.

California's food safety may inform national standards
Amy Standen for NPR
About 200 cows graze on the Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company's 700-acre farm in northern California.
Thirty six million pounds of fresh and frozen turkey have been recalled. The meat has been linked to a salmonella outbreak that's killed one California man and sickened more than 70 others. It's been five years since an E. Coli outbreak linked to spinach from the Salinas Valley killed three people and made 200 others sick. The resulting food safety standards in California are now the model for proposed national standards. Reporter Krista Almanzan from KAZU in Monterey looks at how the program works.

Future of Nursing Initiative
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood and in all your body's cells. It helps protect nerves, makes cell tissues, and produces certain hormones. But if too much cholesterol builds up in your blood vessels, it can block blood flow and cause a heart attack or brain attack (stroke). That's why high cholesterol is bad for your health.
Your liver makes all of the cholesterol your body needs each day; the rest comes from the food you eat. You can find out whether you have high cholesterol with a simple blood test. Don't eat or drink for 9 to 12 hours before the test. A total cholesterol level under 200 mg/dL is best. A total cholesterol level over 200 mg/dL increases your risk of heart attack or brain attack.
Bad cholesterol, also called low-density lipoprotein (LDL), carries cholesterol and other fats that your liver makes to your body tissue. If it builds up in blood vessels, LDL can cause heart disease and other health problems.
Your LDL level should be below 130. If you have diabetes or a possible heart problem, your healthcare provider may want your LDL level even lower. Follow your healthcare provider's advice for lowering LDL.
Good cholesterol is also called high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This type carries LDL from your tissues back to your liver where your body gets rid of it. Your HDL level should be at least 40 for men and at least 50 for women; 60 or more is even better. The higher your HDL level, the safer you are from heart disease.
Your body can't use all of the fats and carbohydrates you eat, so it stores some as triglycerides. High levels can raise your risk of heart disease. Your triglyceride level should be less than 150. Limiting carbohydrates to 45% to 50% of your diet can help lower your triglyceride levels.
Take these simple steps to keep your good and bad cholesterol at safe levels and protect your health.
Watch what you eat. Try to eat foods that are low in saturated fat and low in cholesterol. Less than 7% of your daily calories should come from saturated fat, and you should eat less than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol each day (check nutrition labels on the foods you eat). Try using a cholesterol-lowering margarine instead of butter or regular margarine. Eat only enough calories to maintain a healthy weight; your healthcare provider can help you come up with a weight loss plan if you need to lose weight.
Eat 20 to 30 grams of soluble fiber every day. Foods such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds can help lower LDL.
Get moving. Take part in activities that raise your heart rate, such as walking, running, swimming, biking, or dance classes. Get at least 30 minutes of exercise on most or all days of the week. If you're overweight or have been inactive, talk with your healthcare provider before starting an exercise program. Losing just 5 to 10 pounds can lower your LDL and triglyceride levels.
Don't smoke. If you need help breaking the habit, ask your healthcare provider about some techniques or treatments that can help you quit. If others in your house smoke, ask them to quit with you. It's easier to quit if people around you do too, and you won't be exposed to secondhand smoke.
Take your medicine. If diet and exercise aren't enough, you may need medicine to help get your cholesterol levels in the best range possible. Your healthcare provider will decide which medicine is right for you. You may need to take more than one type to get your cholesterol under control.

New - interface does not match docs and userguides!
I am not accustomed to writing "newbie, please help" posts but I'm having an unusually bad time here:
I just setup a brand new install of ISPConfig. Version is 3.0.2.
I set it up on Debian Lenny/5.0
I used these instructions: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...nny-ispconfig3 which worked fine.
However, the interface I see does not match the userguides guides http://ispconfig.org/downloads/manua...min_en_src.htm, the documentation http://www.ispconfig.org/documentation.htm, the screenshots http://sourceforge.net/project/scree...roup_id=140327, the demo system http://www.ispconfig.org/demo.htm, or anything that I can find. I feel very lost.
Is there an IRC channel or anything similar for ISPConfig?
What I was hoping to do was use ISPConfig to allow my own customers to setup websites (including PHP & mysql) with FTP accounts and be able to manage their own site names + SSL certs for the site
Of course I need to start by adding IP addresses to the "system" so that they'll be available for the customers to use.
But the fact that the interface I see does not match the documentation is really causing me problems!
So I am looking for some "Getting started" information that includes how to add IP addresses for use with SSL sites, and how to correctly setup a customer (I'm thinking reseller level) to host his own websites.
When I say "host his own web sites" I mean I need to create an account that has an IP based virtualhost with SSL, with FTP access and a mysqlDB access.
Any assistance is appreciated!
You kix up ispconfig 2 and 3. The guides you looked at are for ispconfig 2, which is a completely different software then ispconfig 3. For ispconfig 3, there are no user manuals available yet.
OK, thanks, at least now I know.
Version 3 documentation is needed . . . .yesterday ;-)
