I am using (as before) the Samsung Galaxy SII.
I recently updated the firmware to 4.0.3
Now I can't seem to synch my favourites between my phone and Zedge.
When I try synching nothing seems to happen nor I don't get the message I used to saying that it is synching but it may take a while depending on how many favourites I have.
Synching worked fine before so is this a problem with the new firmware or is this just a coincidence and I am just doing something wrong?
Hope you have a suggestion.

Win 7 Ultimate x64
yugandhar welcome to the Seven Forums.
It doesn't matter what type of memory is on the video card as it has no relation at all to what is used on the motherboard.
As far as that card you have selected, it is OK for multimedia uses but terrible for gaming. It is the lowest of the low end and even when it first came out (back in 2009), it was barely any better than the Intel graphics of the time.

Community Forums › Forums › Design Tips and Tricks › Can't get site title area to move above left header widget area
Tagged: header, site title, widget
This topic contains 10 replies, has 4 voices, and was last updated by fotodog13 1 year, 8 months ago.

I've customized a lot of Genesis child themes and have put together a custom child theme of my own that I use as a base for a majority of my projects. I'm pretty proficient at doing most everything I need, but this one has me stumped.
I've successfully added a left side widget area to the header, which works and looks great. That's easy enough.
But, now what I want to do is move the genesis_site_title area so that it's the first thing in the header div. Out of the box, Genesis does this, placing the header's right widget area after the site title area. But when you add a second, left header widget area, it's placed before the site title area. This looks fine when the site is viewed on a large desktop, but for mobile responsive on smaller viewing areas, the site title area (which contains the logo and description) gets pushed down below the left widget area, rather than staying above/at the very top of the page. I could finagle the stylesheet to absolutely position the site title/logo area, but I'd rather not do that, I'd like to just flip the left widget area and site title area so the logo/site title always appears first/at the top, without forcing it via CSS absolute positioning.
The header left widget code is:
add_action('genesis_header', 'header_left_widget_area', 5);
function header_left_widget_area() {
echo '
';
dynamic_sidebar('Header Left');
echo '
';
} [/code]
I know it's probably just a simple line of code to add to the functions.php and I've tried several things that made sense to me, however none of it did the trick.
For example I've tried:
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'header-left-widget-area', 5 );
add_action( 'genesis_after_genesis_site_title', 'genesis_do_header-left-widget-area, 9' ); [/code]
remove_action( 'genesis_site_title', 'genesis_seo_site_title' );
add_action( 'genesis_header_left_widget_area', 'after_genesis_site_title' ); [/code]
Which does absolutely nothing. Nothing breaks, but nothing changes either. How can I get that left widget area in the header to place itself after the site title in the code? I'm terrible with PHP and Genesis hook codes in functions.php so if these look stupid, well that's why!) I'm in need of some Genesis coder guru help. OH, and the site is in development and though it's on a public server it's currently behind an under construction screen, so I can't give you the URL here, but if you need it I'll provide you with access privately to view it. I'm hoping just looking at my code here will be enough. I appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

can you post what how you're registering the widget area, the genesis_register_sidebar?
April 4, 2013 at 10:34 am #33103
Hi Ozzy, sure thing:
'name'=>'Header Left',
'description' => 'This is the Header Left Widget Area.',
'before_title'=>'
','after_title'=>'
',
'before_widget' => '
', 'after_widget' => '
'
)); [/code]

Depending on the final design you could rewrite the header like below, or us the Genesis header right hook.
[php]add_action( 'genesis_header_right' );[/php]
[php]remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
add_action( 'genesis_header', 'child_custom_do_header' );
* Echo the default header, including the #title-area div,
* along with #title and #description, custom widget area, as well as the .widget-area.
* Calls the genesis_site_title, genesis_site_description and
* genesis_header_right actions.
* @since 1.0.2
function child_custom_do_header() {
echo '
';
do_action( 'genesis_site_title' );
do_action( 'genesis_site_description' );
echo '
<!– end #title-area –>';
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'Header Left') ) {
echo '
';
dynamic_sidebar('Header Left');
echo '
<!– end .left-widget-area –>';
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header-right' ) || has_action( 'genesis_header_right' ) ) {
echo '
';
do_action( 'genesis_header_right' );
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'genesis_header_menu_args' );
dynamic_sidebar( 'header-right' );
remove_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'genesis_header_menu_args' );
echo '
<!– end .widget-area –>';
Bourn Creative | bourncreative.com | TwitterApril 4, 2013 at 10:48 am #33107
Hi Brian, thanks .. that looks awesome but when I tried your code, it didn't work. I wonder if I'm missing something? What happens is when I use your code, the left widget area disappears from the header entirely. As in, it's not in the header code at all. When I use your code along with:
[code]add_action('genesis_header', 'header_left_widget_area', 5);
function header_left_widget_area() {
echo '

';
dynamic_sidebar('Header Left');
echo '

';
as well, then the left widget shows up in the code and is visible, and everything looks ok, but by ok it looks and works the same as always, with the left widget appearing before the site title area, then the (right) widget-area below that.
(PS: Where am I to add the right widget code you show me in the first part of your post above?)

Try adding this to your functions file and see if it outputs where you want:
[php]add_action('genesis_header_right', 'header_left_widget_area');
function header_left_widget_area() {
echo '
';
dynamic_sidebar('Header Left');
echo '
<!– end .left-widget-area –>';
This will put your new widget inside the #header .widget-area, but it may work depending on the design.
Bourn Creative | bourncreative.com | TwitterApril 4, 2013 at 10:59 am #33111
OzzyParticipantPost count: 214
the registering of the sidebar should be
'name'=>'Header Left',
'description' => 'This is the Header Left Widget Area.',
then when calling it in the header, try
[php]add_action ('genesis_header', 'header_left_widget_area', 5);
function header_left_widget_area() {
genesis_widget_area( 'header-left', array (
'before' => '
',
) );
April 4, 2013 at 11:11 am #33113
Thanks so much guys. I think I'm almost there with some tweaks to Brian's code. I've got to go out for a meeting right now but will work on this when I get back and let you know. Thanks again so much!
Twitter: @riavonentprisesApril 4, 2013 at 1:29 pm #33158
Thanks to both Ozzy and to Brian Bourn for your responses. Brian, your code worked! Well.. with a few minor adjustments as well as a few minor changes to the CSS. But it did just what I needed it to do. The header flows nicely now on smaller screens, with the title area (logo/description) staying at the top. You're a lifesaver. Thanks again. I'll post a link to the site when it goes live (soon!)
Twitter: @riavonentprisesApril 4, 2013 at 1:51 pm #33166
For those who want to see how I made this work, here is my version of the code Brian gave me in my functions.php:
[php]remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
add_action( 'genesis_header', 'riagen_custom_do_header' );
add_action('genesis_header', 'header_left_widget_area');
function header_left_widget_area() {
echo '

';
dynamic_sidebar('Header Left');
echo '

<!– end .left-widget-area –>';
function riagen_custom_do_header() {
echo '

';
do_action( 'genesis_site_title' );
do_action( 'genesis_site_description' );
echo '

<!– end #title-area –>';
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'Header Left') ) {
echo '

';
dynamic_sidebar('Header Left');
echo '

<!– end .left-widget-area –>';
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header-right' ) || has_action( 'genesis_header_right' ) ) {
echo '

';
do_action( 'genesis_header_right' );
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'genesis_header_menu_args' );
dynamic_sidebar( 'header-right' );
remove_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'genesis_header_menu_args' );
echo '

<!– end .widget-area –>';
Then I just adjusted my previous CSS so that the title area div wasn't floated left against the floated left left widget area
[css].header-image #title-area,
.header-image #title,
.header-image #title a {
display: inline-block;
float: none;
and then
[code]#header .widget-area {
float: right;
text-align: right;}[/code]
with each of these set to about 30% wide.

Not wanting to feed on left side-Help

Most often a sudden refusal is due to pain from a tooth coming in on one side or an ear infection. Either of those sound plausible?
|Mon, 08-31-2009 - 2:13pm
Thanks for your reply! I kept trying yesterday to get him to feed off my left side and finally yesterday evening he started feeding on it and now today it's been better. I am thinking my supply is low on my left side. My right side has always produced more milk. He still is not feeding very long on my left side. What should I do about the supply issue?

Account Manager Has 'Jerry Maguire' Moment, Fires Off Farewell Note
We don't know Jerry Comyn from a hole in the wall, but we can at least appreciate the man's bravado after reading a letter he sent last night to those on his mailing list. Comyn, you see, has been a national account manager on-and-off for OOH advertising giant Titan for the last few years, but now it appears that he's done some soul-searching and wants out of the biz for good. We've reached out to Comyn to make sure he still feels this way the day after and are waiting to hear back. But anyhow, on with the show (the full note is after the jump):
"Hello all,
Having spent the past 18 years of my life in advertising sales, TV, Radio and Outdoor, I've always wondered why I was in a business I detested. For years, I couldn't figure it out, and then I realized what was motivating me, MONEY! There are few careers where one (we called ourselves a business of C students) could earn so much money for doing very little.
Update: Comyn himself says the letter is not referring to any one company, but was written in general terms and encompasses his experiences of years in the advertising/media business.

Will Texans take a QB at No. 1?
March, 22, 2014
Mar 22
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN Insider
The Houston Texans this week tweeked their QB corps by signing free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick to a two-year, $7.5 million contract and trading Matt Schaub to the Oakland Raiders. The question now is whether these moves mean it is more or less likely that they will use the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to select a quarterback.

Gwyneth Paltrow pregnant again?
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Siblings, Bump Watch, Life & Style, Celeb Parents, Rumors, Sex
Is Gwyneth Paltrow expecting again? Well, the rumor mill would have us think so. For a while now, speculation has been building that the Oscar-winner is either with child or planning to be that way a third time.
Now, it seems more likely than ever that the star, who is married to and has two children with Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, is carrying a third proverbial bun in the oven. She was recently spotted with what is being called a fuller, more curvy figure. Now, that could mean she ate a sandwich or something--we all know how the media likes to jump all over any woman who bothers to consume anything other than iceburg lettuce.
Paltrow also recently commented to Harper's Bazaar Magazine that she is willing to go through a pregnancy a third time because the result is so amazing. She also commented that her father, the late Bruce Paltrow, regretted only having two children. Paltrow is already mom to Apple, who is four is you can believe it, and Moses, two. At least these sorts of rumors aren't as bad as the other kind that always circulate about Hollywood stars--that they're having a crisis in their marriages. You'll also recall not too long ago Paltrow commented she was interested in adopting, perhaps from Brooklyn.

ModusLink Wins Fourth Consecutive Green Supply Chain Award
For the fourth year in a row, ModusLink Global Solutions™ Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK) has been honored by Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine's 2012 Green Supply Chain Awards. The Company was recognized for developing a creative and cost-saving package redesign for its client's line of flash memory products.
In 2011, a global consumer electronics company and long-time ModusLink client requested assistance in reducing the amount of packaging material for its line of flash memory products, including USB and USB Mini devices, SD and Micro SD cards. This initiative was driven by both environmental and cost-savings goals, including reducing greenhouse gasses emissions, volume of packaging material, and logistics and shipping costs. With a completely redesigned package and an innovative approach to the product inserts and user manual, the electronics company was able to save money by eliminating excess materials and drastically reducing transportation costs. Specifically, the redesign resulted in:
- 50% cut in paper and fiber use and up to an 80% reduction with the smallest product
- 50% reduction in the amount of plastic used, while maintaining the integrity of the previous package
- 157% average increase in pallet density
- 45% reduction in shipping costs
Together, these improvements represent a 31% reduction in annual CO 2 emissions, which equates to eliminating 74 metric tons of CO 2 from entering the atmosphere¹.
"A key challenge that many companies encounter in their sustainability efforts is the difficulty that comes with changing business as usual," said Lorcan Sheehan, senior vice president of marketing, ModusLink. "An example in this case was the entrenched belief that each product should be accompanied by a comprehensive product manual. Our packaging engineers worked to find an innovative solution that allowed for printing instructions directly onto the blister pack. We helped the client meet its aggressive sustainability goals by eliminating the separate manual, but also took into account the company's need to ensure all necessary product information was readily available to consumers."

Environmental and Health Hazards of Chemicals in Plastic Polymers, A Swedish Study
Excerpt from the University of Gothenburg, in Science Daily
Many plastic products contain hazardous chemicals that can leach to the surroundings. In studies conducted at the University of Gothenburg, a third of the tested plastic products released toxic substances, including 5 out of 13 products intended for children…
Plastics exist in many different chemical compositions and are widespread in the society and the environment. Global annual production of plastics has doubled over the past 15 years, to 245 million tonnes in 2008. The plastic polymers are not regarded as toxic, but there may be toxic residual chemicals, chemical additives and degradation products in the plastic products that can leach out as they are not bound to the plastic polymer. Plastics also cause many waste problems…
In her research, Lithner studied the toxicity of 83 randomly selected plastic products and synthetic textiles. The newly purchased products were leached in pure (deionised) water for 1-3 days. The acute toxicity of the water was then tested using water fleas (Daphnia magna)…
The thesis Environmental and health hazards of chemicals in plastic polymers and products was successfully defended in public on 6th May 2011.

We're in the mood for kebabs. A friend has given up 'carbs.' You're probably familiar with the trend. Everybody seems to be doing it these days. She swears it's the fastest way to get into her little black dress in time for New Year's Eve. However this is the same person who orders Skinny Lattes with artificial sweetener, and then teams them with big buttery chocolate chip muffins. The last time we were on holiday together, she ate muesli for breakfast, chasing it down with Caipiroskas, chock full of vodka and sugar, for dessert. Apparently 'holiday calories' burn faster. Go figure! If she's cooking anything, whether it's scrambled eggs or chicken curry, I've learnt to stand beside her in the kitchen brandishing a rolling pin (my only effective kitchen intimidation tactic) while keeping a sharp eye on the pan because the moment I look away she throws in fistfuls of butter and cheese.
So, as you can imagine, I don't take her diets too seriously. Nevertheless, a foodie friend has offered to show us his favourite 'hole in the wall' kebab joint, so we decide on a 'carb-free' dinner. It turns out to be an anonymous little room on Greams Road, right beside Galloping Gooseberry (GG). I realise I've passed it a dozen times at least, since it's set practically inside the GG parking, but never really checked it out because it looked so grungy. Up close, it's actually quite organised — the cooks even wear plastic gloves. Nevertheless, this is not for the fainthearted. The rather rough all-male clientele seems suitably amused by Skinny Latte's short skirt and high heels. (She claims it's de rigueur to 'dress for dinner'.) We eat spicy, juicy, steaming sheek kebabs wrapped in delicate rotis while sitting on a dusty step, after carefully inspecting it for creepy crawlies. There's also hefty chicken murtabak, and omelette rolls.
Later in the week, we drop by the Hyatt Regency to try their newly opened restaurant Focaccia. Chef Massimiliano Pauletto's unabashedly charming, and Skinny Latte dissolves into delighted giggles every time he comes up to our table. As we start on a plate of classic bruschetta, topped by sweet tomatoes laced with fruity olive oil, Chef "Massi" talks of how he's going to stand out in a sea of Italian restaurants. Despite his mafia-style pronouncements, Massi's greatest advantage over the competition is his distinctive style, rooted in an Italian heritage and developed by years of hard work in meticulous restaurant kitchens. He started his career in Milan, under the tutelage of three Michelin-starred Chef Gualtiero Marchesi. Over here he developed an appreciation of modern Italian cooking: food that's edgier, healthier and lighter. Or as Massi simply puts it, "funkier". A stint in Paris introduced him to the elegance of French technique and plating. Then came London and South-East Asia. "Italian food should be casual," he says, as we tear into our thin crust pizzas, explaining the relaxed Focaccia vibe, where the chef wanders about chatting with diners and the interactive open kitchen clatters and clangs with activity. His food's a combination of flavours from Southern Italy: Campania, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily. The pizza, disappointingly, lacks character. Fortunately it's followed by a wickedly creamy mushroom risotto, and pasta Puttanesca, a cleverly balanced combination of ripe tomatoes, garlic, olives and anchovies. The highlight of the meal, however, is the carpaccio, as delicate as Venetian lace, with a gleaming balsamic glaze and grainy golden mustard.
Dessert is served 'home-style.' Light, fluffy tiramisu, with a backbone of powerfully aromatic espresso, ladled out from a big communal bowl. Skinny Latte is delighted. Since she's decided tiramisu is not a carb, she figures it works with her diet. Besides, Chef Massi's just winked at her from behind the kitchen counter. "The best thing about this restaurant is the chef," she squeals, winking back gleefully. I just roll my eyes and continue to eat dessert.
Foccacia is at the Hyatt Regency. A meal for two costs about Rs. 1,800. Call 6100 1234 for reservations.

State of the U.S. economy better, not greatBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
and PAUL WISEMAN
The Associated Press | February 13,2013AP FILE PHOTO
In this Jan. 24, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington.WASHINGTON The U.S. economy, the expected focus of Tuesday nights State of the Union speech, is much healthier than it was four years ago. Yet growth remains slow and unemployment high.
In early 2009, the U.S. economy was in the midst of a full-blown panic sparked by the collapse of a housing bubble.
Companies were slashing jobs. The unemployment rate was surging. Auto sales in January 2009 had reached a 26-year low.
You dont need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, President Barack Obama said in his first State of the Union-style address in February 2009.
The numbers were frightening.
Employers cut 794,000 jobs in January 2009 and 4.5 million from November 2008 through April 2009.
Home prices plunged 19 percent in the 12 months that ended in January 2009. Eventually, they fell by a third overall before bottoming in late 2011.
Perhaps the clearest barometer of the pain was soaring unemployment.
The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in January 2009, just below the current 7.9 percent. But only two months later, in March 2009, it was nearly a full point higher 8.7 percent. By October, it had peaked at 10 percent.
The recovery has been agonizingly slow. Consumers have been wary about spending after piling up debt in the mid-2000s. Local governments, squeezed by tight budgets, have cut 560,000 jobs in four years.
And until recently, an anemic housing market discouraged the home construction that in past economic recoveries had powered growth.
Now, companies are hiring modestly but steadily. Employers added an average of 181,000 jobs a month in 2012 and 175,000 in 2011. Still, unemployment remains far higher than the 5 percent to 6 percent that economists regard as normal.
But home prices are finally rebounding as sales and housing starts have recovered. And Americans are buying cars again.
During the last four years, the economy has stabilized, says economist Sung Won Sohn of California State University Channel Islands.
What has happened to the economy since 2009 likely would have happened whoever occupied the White House, Sohn says.
We tend to give a lot of credit or blame (for the economy) to the incumbent president, he says. The fact of the matter is, the U.S. economy is like an aircraft carrier. You can turn it around but not on a dime.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON The Federal Reserve is edging closer to raising interest rates from record lows...

This is a great addition to the decor of our hunting cabin. The fall colors are so bright and like where we hunt, the trees and creek are the same beautiful colors. Painting is relaxing and when you can't draw, paint-by-number is is the perfect substitute. Really liked this project.

It's been a banner year for actress Betty White in a career as remarkable for its longevity as for the diversity of those who would call themselves Betty White fans.
White, 88, is the rare Hollywood star whose fan base spans multiple generations. While most entertainment personalities are popular for a period and may later stage a comeback, White never disappeared from the public eye. In the past year, she's become more visible than ever.
She's probably still best-known for her roles as "happy homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" in the 1970s and Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls" in the 1980s. But a new generation of viewers came of age during her guest appearances on "Boston Legal" in the past decade, and most recently in 2009's Sandra Bullock-starring feature film "The Proposal" and a Snickers commercial that aired during the Super Bowl this year.
Later this month she'll guest star as an elementary-school librarian on ABC's "The Middle" and in June she stars in the TV Land sitcom "Hot in Cleveland."
After one devotee began a Facebook group demanding that White host "Saturday Night Live" (10:30 p.m. Saturday, NBC) — a group eventually joined by more than 500,000 Facebook users — she received an official invitation to host a Mother's Day-themed episode this weekend with "SNL" alums, including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Molly Shannon.
White has no Facebook account herself and she didn't even really want to host "SNL," something she'd been invited to do in the past. She said it's a New York show and she's a Californian, so she always feared she would feel like a fish out of water.
"People would tell me they saw this Facebook thing and all these people had joined. I couldn't believe it at first and I thought they were putting me on," White said last week.
"It came out of left field and I was astounded. I told my agent, 'Please say, "Thank you, but no thank you." ' He said, 'You have to do it. If you don't do it, I'll divorce you.' I love my agent, so here I am doing it."
Her biggest worry: "I've never been able to work from cue cards. I memorize or I ad lib. And I know with the changing scripts ... that won't be possible. And with cue cards I hope I don't have to wear my glasses. I hope the print is big enough. If it isn't, I'll do the show with my glasses."
As for what's planned, that's something "SNL" writers decide this week; last week, White had no idea what skits might be written.
"All I know is I have veto power if there's something I really don't want to do," she said. "They promised me I wouldn't have to do any nudity."
And there it is, the slightly bawdy side of Betty White. No one suggested there would be nudity; she willingly went there on her own. An ability to upend her sweet demeanor and grandmotherly appearance may be the root of her appeal, especially to younger fans.
"I've always had a bawdy sense of humor," she acknowledged. "My father was a traveling salesman and he'd bring jokes home and never explained them to me. 'Honey, you can take that one to school, but I wouldn't take that one to school.' "
White began her career on local Los Angeles television in the 1940s and began to work in nationally televised programs in the 1950s, including the sitcom "Life With Elizabeth." In the 1960s she was a frequent celebrity guest on game shows, including "Match Game" (GSN will air episodes featuring White from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday) and "Password," where she met the love of her life, host Allen Ludden. The couple married in 1963; Ludden died in 1981 and White did not remarry.
"Believe me, I've been around so long, I don't think there's much that I haven't done," she said. "I just think it's great at my age to be invited to do ('Saturday Night Live')."
She has just one requirement for "SNL": No drug humor.
"I won't do dope jokes," she said. "I don't think dope is a joke. That's about the only thing I would resist doing."
That's the only time during a half-hour conference call that White sounded the slightest bit like the octogenarian she is.
"I'm blessed with good health. ... My energy level is very high," White said. "I can't get over at my age what all is going on. All I can do is roll with the punches and enjoy it thoroughly and be grateful for it."

Hi Ladies!
Just was wondering if some of you were taking herbs rather than medications. If so, what herbs have you been taking together? Do you feel as if they are working?
I am just trying get a good list together to start really working this.
anyway i read up on the internet about this cream called VANIQA and im delighted to say it actually works granted it does take 6 to 8 weeks to kick in but it really does .....anyway how this works is you put it on twice a day and the enzeymes in it actually supress hair growth brilliant wat makes it better is that while you are waiting on the Vaniqa to kick in you can use anyother hair removel treatment just as long as u wait 5 minutes before you apply vaniqa ....anyway im glad i could
I went and transferred all my blog posts from here to a private Blogger account, I jut don't want to risk loosing all those posts, most of them from the heart and/or rants that I really don't need family seeing.
But I thought I'd also put on here what I posted there a couple of days ago... sort-of keep both blogs going at the same time

The past few months I have been working out at a gym. I had lost 24 pounds, but gained back 4 lbs the last couple of weeks because I quit going every day. It has made my cycles more regular so I know that it would benefit me to go back to the gym and make ttc so much easier. I just can't seem to find motivation to go. I had a friend who would work out with me, but she has pretty much quit going to the gym altogether. She however doesn't have PCOS or any of the health problems that we all have
So I used an OPK to see if I was ovulating. I did, but I was unfortunately unable to get pregnant this month. I did however predict when I was going to get AF accurately. Which is a good thing because usually I have no idea as I have never gotten them every month. This is actually the first time in forever that I got 2 in 2 months. Its a good feeling to know that something I'm doing must be helping. I think we are the only women who actually get excited about periods.
I'm also

I have not posted in forever and a day. A pretty good bit has changed for me. My last entry, I believe, was that I had quit taking Met. I spoke to my Dr. about it and I have been back on it since then. We had to change the type of Metformin that I was taking. It has changed to the Metformin ER. The other kind was making me spend my life in the bathroom and was effecting my AF for some reason. AF has not become regular by the normal standard of "regular". I now have periods every other

Honestly, I have so much bad going on in my life right now.. I NEED someone to talk to. I feel so lost and alone. I hate the thought of throwing this out into the void, but I guess I am just hoping to find a confidant/sister to share things with. I have always felt better after talking, but
Does anyone else feel like we are always waiting for something? Waiting for another dr appointment, waiting to O, waiting for AF, waiting to POAS, waiting for that BFP. It seems like every time I get one thing done, I just go into waiting for the next thing.
I am pretty sure I O'd this month, and AF should come sometime this weekend. If it does, this will be the first time since middle school that I got 2 in 2 months. It will be the first time in a very long time that AF showed
I joined a gym in November with a friend of mine. She hasn't been going and I thought I would be too embarassed to go by myself, but I've been going at least a few times a week. Since then, I have lost over 20 lbs. And I got AF in December and I'm pretty sure I'll get another one at the end of this month. This will actually be the first time since early high school or maybe even middle school that I got two in two months. I usually don't get AF for over a year, sometimes longer. I haven't

The mission of the Resident Services Department is to offer training, employment and educational opportunities to assist residents of the Sarasota Housing Authority, public housing, housing choice voucher, and NSP renters in realizing economic self sufficiency. Self-sufficiency is defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as:
Sarasota Housing Authority's Resident Services Department provides opportunities for residents to identify and work towards their life goals. The ultimate goal of the Resident Services Department is to help lead families to self-sufficiency. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) a family is self-sufficient when:
Sometimes these goals are difficult to obtain alone. It may be the birth of a new baby, an unexpected illness or some other unforeseen circumstance that causes our residents to fall upon difficulty. The Resident Services Department supports the residents through advocacy, coaching, and even serving as role models. The objective is to identify a family's goals and assets, and assist them in overcoming barriers in their way.
The most common barriers that we have identified are:
To help remove such barriers, SHA applied for and was granted a federal grant from the U.S. Department of HUD for Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS). This $150,000 grant has funded self-sufficiency programs at SHA for our residents for three years. The timing of this grant is perfect as SHA works to counsel and assist families preparing for relocation as a result of the planned redevelopment of SHA's family sites in Newtown. SHA's vision is to transform our residents' lives as well as to transform our housing stock and the community.
The Resident Services staff includes an administrative assistant, two case managers who are led by our Director of Resident Services.
The Resident Services department includes an on-site classroom and large meeting room for program sessions and other meetings with a computer lab with 12 computers with internet access and a printer; an on-site day care center for our residents to help them attend classes or return to work; and our Resident Services offices which are located at 1731 Gore Ct. The hours are 8am to 6pm Monday through Thursday, and from 8-12 on Fridays. The computer lab is available to residents on Tuesday and Thursdays during the hours of 1 to 4. Case managers can be seen by appointment.
The Resident Services Department engages local educational institutes as well as non-profit service organizations to provide programs and classes that are developed to assist residents toward their self-sufficiency goals. Our partners are listed below:
Sarasota County School Board, Sarasota County Technical Institute · State College of Florida · Manatee Technical Institute
Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice · Children First · Department of Children and Families
Suncoast Workforce Board · Manasota Goodwill Industries · Women's Resource Center ·
Children First · Habitat for Humanity ·Hedges Pharmacy
The Resident Services Department is constantly expanding its program offerings to meet the needs of the resident population. This year through SHA's partnerships with the its non- profits the Department is offering training programs that will help enhance our participants life skills and develop additional job readiness skills that will lead to employment which will then promote a better quality of life.
We are always looking for employer partners, guest speakers and other community leaders to assist in this very worthwhile and rewarding mission. If you would like to assist or make donations to the Resident Services Department, please feel free to call (941) 361-6210 or e-mail us.
SHA is placing a renewed emphasis on prioritizing edcuation for our both adult residents (offering GED classes) and their children. SHA entered into an agreement with the Sarasota County School Board to, among other things, improve communication about SHA students and to combat truancy among SHA residents in an effort to keep them in class, prevent them from falling behind and to prevent early school dropout. SHA is also pleased to share information on local schools to empower parents to decide what school is best for their child.

Doug has NOT had a successful year job hunting. What should he do next?
Tag Archives
Déjà Vu
Let me preface this by saying Gary Oldman is a GREAT actor and among my favorites. True Romance, The Professional and The Fifth Element are EXCELLENT! It just seems that now Gary Oldman is in the same boat as Morgan Freeman just playing himself more or less. In the last few movies I saw him in he looked like he walked off the set, changed clothes and went right to the next movie. I think wearing glasses may be in his contract. Here's hoping that another character like Drexl Spivey is in his future.
Well, 2014 isn't starting off too well for Doug. What will he do next???
Click HERE to see the boss's motivational posters.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays from dot Problems! See you in 2014!
Unlike Doug I had a very busy Summer. Comic-Con, my birthday, a trip to Wisconsin, and a Gallery showing (and another on the way)! It was non-stop so I wasn't able to draw/post a new strip until now. The bad side was no dot Problems updates, the good side is that I've been drawing more now than ever! Even painted a bit!! So please follow me on Facebook to check out the other art and stuff I'm doing!
Also check out my Etsy shop! I updated it with new prints and an art book that I was a part of. I have a wedding to pay for next year so help a brother out…
The Internet has recently exploded with the announcement that Disney was planning on making stand alone Star Wars movies featuring Boba Fett and Han Solo. There was also speculation that there would be Yoda and Darth Maul movies as well. Personally I think it's a great idea to expand the Star Wars universe and the possibility of other non-episode Star Wars movies is exciting! Let's just hope they don't go TOO far back into the characters origins. That idea is what inspired this comic strip. We already had a young Anakin Skywalker saying "Wizard!" Do we need that again? A Han Solo movie where he's in his early 20's could be really cool! If you've been keeping up with the Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network you also know stories about the Star Wars criminal underworld could be awesome!
Check out my Etsy store for limited edition prints and original art!
I'll be honest; I had NO idea what Krampus was. I originally heard about it through the Venture Brothers cartoon but thought it was something THEY made up. I had no idea it was actual folklore! I'm guessing the Coca-Cola corporation didn't really want to market a demon so they went with Santa. Good call Coke. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your holiday, whichever one that may be!
Happy Holidays!
When it was announced that Hostess was going out of business people freaked out and Twinkies started selling on eBay for crazy prices. This was Doug's reaction. Personally I think some smart company will buy Hostess to keep feeding us that glorious, yellow, high fructose corn syrup treat! Not that we need it…

WWSDD (What Would Shannen Doherty Do)?
I see these commercials for Education Connection all the time while watching Big Bang Theory reruns on TBS. Some have the singing waitress (with a song that get's stuck in your head) and others have Shannen Doherty of Beverly Hills 90210 fame talking about the virtues of online education. You would think spending 10 years in high school would have been enough for her.
