Breakfast Topic: Dealing with unpleasant players {WoW}
Jun 8th 2010 8:39AM I've come to the point now where so many people use knockbacks I just grit my teeth and ignore it. In the past, every time that I've politely asked a Druid/Shaman/Mage to go easy on the knockbacks, its always answered with tears and "LR2PLAY NOOB, ITS AN ABILITY AND I WILL USE IT". I just give up now, I am a defeated tank.
Patch 3.3.5: Changes to vote kick incoming {WoW}
Jun 2nd 2010 1:01AM Huh, similar thing happened to me too.
Joined a group where the tank decided to be cocky and pulled about half the instance and died. Poor healer barely had buffs out. He then proceeded to abuse the healer for "sucking" and refused to leave group. We had to sit there and cop his abuse for 15 mins (I lasted about 5 before I put him on ignore) and then had to queue up for another tank. All the while he was gloating that he'd get an insta-group because hes a tank. Good for you, buddy.
Breakfast Topic: Speculation on the Cataclysm cinematic {WoW}
May 18th 2010 8:24AM I think we can definitely expect some Deathwing. I've been hoping for a nice montage of race/class battles very similar to the 1st and 2nd cinematics, but it all culminating in Deathwing bursting forth and utterly DESTROYING EVERYTHING.
Bonus points if they show a Gnome with the /cower emote as Deathwing swoops by.

All the World's a Stage: Reflections on the passing of a roleplayer's mom {WoW}
Aug 16th 2009 11:56PM "I learned from her that even though she was at death's door, she hadn't stopped taking joy in her life. "
This inspired me very much. Its a powerful reminder of how we should all live every day to its fullest.
Thank you for taking the time to write this article, David, it was beautiful. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you at the moment, you have my sincerest condolences.

Designing around latency {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2009 7:46PM Latency and Frame Rate are two very different things. Frame rate is a computer issue and the player can control that. Latency is a server-end issue and cannot be controlled by the player (unless they're on Dial-up, I suppose).
I'm in Australia and have to deal with 500+ latency and it can sometimes be unplayable even though I generally have 60+ fps.

Facts and Obvious Observations:
– This is Wizards point guard John Wall meeting the singing, entertaining, panty dropping (?), performer that is Justin Bieber.
– Bieber performed a concert at the Verizon Center in DC on Monday night.
– John Wall, 22, is wearing his practice shorts well below his ass.
– Bieber is riding a Segway. Through the halls of Verizon Center?
– This sucks.
– Last night, I had a dream that John Wall hopped on stage with the Biebz and performed his Dougie dance. A nightmare in its purest form.
– As much as I respect the kid for his effort and millions, I can hardly tolerate Justin Bieber or his music.

text: I have a form of bipolar disorder and I have been taking psychotropic meds for almost 20 years. During the course of being on these medications that keep my stable I have gained 75 pounds over the years. I am embarking on a weight loss journey now and would like to hear from others who have been successful and worked for you while taking psych meds. I currently take lexapro and lithium and I am in the process of weaning off risperdal. I am happy with my medications as they are now, as I am stable. I don't plan on changing my medications and I know I have a long road ahead of me. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Vornado 200 Series Panel Air Circulator Model:V102
Vornado 200 Series Panel Air Circulator
The Vornado Panel Air Circulator (V102) provides high performance, moving air up to 80 feet. As a whole room circulator, the V102 is designed to focus a powerful beam of air horizontally across the room, or vertically towards the ceiling. Horizontal airflow is ideal for traditional whole room circulation, particularly for warm weather use. Focusing the air upwards maximizes the V101's ability to force warm air off the ceiling to the rest of the room – an added bonus during winter months.
The minimalistic style treads new ground in Vornado circulator design. Contrasting high gloss and textured finishes create a modern yet understated look that fits a variety of décor. No more knobs - innovative, easy-to-use silver push button controls are top-mounted, putting three speed control at your fingertips. The V102 is engineered to be simple to use and maintain. Speed control buttons are located within easy reach on top of the circulator. The high-gloss front grill piece easily removes for added convenience when wiping clean.
Other features also make this model a solid choice.
- Cooling Power: This Vornado Panel Air Circulator moves up to 80 feet of air.
- Easy to Use: This Vornado Panel Air Circulator features 3-speed push button controls.
- Vortex Circulation: This Vornado Panel Air Circulator features Vornado's unique system of whole-room air circulation.
- Super Quiet Operation: This Vornado Panel Air Circulator is whisper quiet.

Take the screws out, to remove the lid. Take the lid with the attached spring still attached, put the lid in a vice and cut the ends of the spring off with a bolt cutter.
It works perfectly now and did not cost me $300.
It no longer flies open when lifting my arm off of it.
It stays open without the spring and
It stays closed, when closed
If it rattles or bounces a little, attach velcro to it.
The spring loading is for wimps. Heaven forbid that one should have to provide 5 ounces of pressure to lift the plastic alloy lid to open it. I really do not undertand why Toyota spring loaded it. Oh really, I do undertand. Put a cheap breakable latch and charge $300.00 for the whole consel then another $200, to $300 to have the dealer install it. Nice raquet.
Just cut the spring and be frugal and happy

Adding Internet protocol and connectivity to a video camera isn't a new idea. JVC created the first "streaming video" camera, the Streamcorder, in 2002. While the camera was a success, its importance was reduced by the limited bandwidth available a decade ago. Today, with robust Wi-Fi networks blanketing most urban centers, JVC returns to the market with the Wi-Fi-capable camcorder that actually may go viral.
The GY-HM650 is a three-chip, handheld HD camcorder with a 23:1 lens capable of simultaneously recording full HD and web-friendly 1/4 HD files. Announced at NAB 2012 and shown in prototype form at IBC, the HM650 is scheduled to hit the market in November 2012. Aimed at mobile news gathering (MNG) shooters, which evolved from electronic news gathering (ENG), the HM650 meets the demand generated by both the technological advances in broadband connectivity and the willingness of broadcasters to employ every source of media imaginable. JVC now offers professional MNG shooters higher quality, superior connectivity and features that promise to far outstrip handheld camcorders, as well as iPhones.
Once recorded, clips can be uploaded by the operator in the field to his or her station via the onboard FTP and Wi-Fi. Later, when the crew returns to base, the higher-resolution clips can be given to the editor for inclusion in the next broadcast at full resolution. A standard-definition H.264 codec also will be included as a switchable recording format, allowing the operator to send 1/4 HD to one card and SD to another. Like most recent JVC camcorders, low-cost SDHC/SDXC memory cards are the preferred medium.
Responding to the many postproduction options now being used by broadcasters and filmmakers alike, the HM650 will employ a wide media format compatibility, offering .MOV (MPEG2, HD/SD) for Apple's Final Cut Pro, MP4 for Sony's XDCAM EX™, .MTS (AVCHD) and .MXF with rich metadata for use in archiving.
Other features that will enhance the immediacy of the HM650's capabilities are a fixed Fujinon autofocus zoom lens (ƒ/1.6-3.0), high sensitivity (ƒ/11 at 2000-lux) for improved low-light performance and optical image stabilization. The 23x zoom lens when converted to 35mm has a range of 29-667mm, which would suit any retro martial-arts film, but when locked off for static shots, provides a vast range of framings and depth-of-field choices to the tasteful DP.

It is the highest knowledge available on this planet. A dialogue between King Janak and Ashtavakra. A must watch video commentary by Sri Sri.

Ashtavakra is not being read by many in fact not populary known amongst simple people SRI SRI made this available to make one strong and gain confidence to lead life with contentment ,those were the days it was made available to chosen few by SRI SRI too,out of compassion now it is made available to many in fact to all grab this and bathe in it and derive the ultimate joy of life

Roughly put, the Global ecological footprint is a terminology used to estimate the amount of natural resources that are being consumed by a human being, and if every other person continues to lead a similar lifestyle, the amount of resources that would be needed to sustain that lifestyle. e.g. if your global ecological footprint is 8, it means that if every citizen starts living your way, we would need 8 EARTHS to satisfy the demands of all the people put together. I could be wrong but please pardon my limited understanding. More info is available online. Jai Gurudev!

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Ananth Narayan G., head of South Asia currency and bonds trading at Standard Chartered Plc, comments on the outlook for India's currency after the Reserve Bank of India tightened rules in forward trading in rupee, saying canceled forward contracts can't be bought again.
The new rules will take immediate effect, it said in a statement on its website today.
"In the short-term this is definitely rupee positive and will improve sentiment and show RBI is for curbing speculation. It will bring down liquidity in the market and increase transaction costs. Overall volume in the market will also come down.
''Hopefully, this along with some intervention from the RBI will buy time for the country to address medium-term issues such as current account deficit and capital outflows, which are the root cause of the rupee's weakness.''

I just bought some lirope as as "edge" or "border" groundcover. It's called "Giant Lily Turf Lirope Gigantea". It's solid green and supposed to bloom those purple spikes. My question is: Is this the kind that "spreads" out of control? Isn't it the "spicata" that spreads out of control and becomes a menace? The "tag" on the plant doesn't say if it's a spicata [or spreading] -- it just says to plant 2'-3' apart. in full or partial sun. (It's supposed to grow 2'-3' high) I get confused over which liriope is the spreading kind that becomes hated -- or the kind that is manageable over the years. I don't want to create a problem. Any body out there that can tell me if this "Giant Lily Turf Liriope Gigantea" is spicata, or not?
Thanks and God Bless! Fiftystars |

It doesn't say "spicata" or "muscari" as it is a separate species, synonymous to Ophiopogon jaburan. Not a rampant spreader, allow about a 2-3' spread. Gets kinda tall for an edger, tho. Needs even moisture and some shade in a Texas climate. |

Have you ever had a Murphy's Law kind of day? LOL You know, from the moment you wake up, nothing seems to go right? I'm having "one of those kind of days". All I want to do is crawl back into bed and wake up tomorrow. What is your cure for days like this?

Is your pet an alarm clock? My two cats, Oreo and Spaz are. If I'm not up by 5AM, they start in. First they jump on the bed and proceed to walk on every part of the bed. If that doesn't work, Spaz (the Torti), will get on my dresser and play with my things up there. Oreo will get on the bedside table and push things off onto the floor. Between that and the constant meowing until they are fed, they make a great tag-team for an alarm clock. How does your pet wake you up?

This afternoon, I encountered something I haven't seen in a very long time. A nice elderly man riding around in his car, blowing his horn non-stop throughout the entire neighborhood. After much honking, I came out to see what the fuss was about. Turns out this gentleman was trying to sell his produce out the back of his car. Anybody else encounter this farmer's market on wheels? The produce he was selling looked to be quite fresh and most of it was local.

A slew of darts to the person who dumped their entire ashtray in the parking lot by the bank by Sun City. That's some seriously nasty stuff. Trashcans were invented for a reason. So? How's your Wednesday going, Bluffton?

As I was going home this afternoon, I noticed a few runners on the side of May River Road (Hwy 46) running. I don't think this is a very safe place for our youngsters to be training. I think this because no sooner than I passed them, an oncoming vehicle crossed the center lane causing me to go into the bicycle lane. I don't even want to think about what would of happened if these kids were running where I had to veer off. Would someone who is affiliated with the highschool please bring this to their attention immediately? Please and thank you!

For the last four or five weeks, I have had a tube bird feeder hanging on my front porch. What I have come to learn from "my birds" is that they expect the food to be put out by nine o'clock and they are patient when it comes to waiting. I think what I have come to learn most is the respect one bird gives the other when it comes to who gets to sit on the feeder first. The young ones let the older birds eat first and only one (of that species)on the feeder at a time. This goes for all the species that feed there.

pretty touch in to her early 50s, took one look around her at the throngs of under-25s, all made up to the nines, and noted that youth doesn't automatically mean pretty. "Often when you're young, you make the mistake of overdoing it, and 25 very quickly looks like 45," says Greenwell. "But pretty can be done at 60 or even 80. Pretty is when you have your heart and soul in the right place; it has a freedom that being dolled-up does not."
Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury agrees. "Pretty is about health and happiness; foolproof at any age," she states. Tilbury loves rosebud colors for cheeks and eyes, dialing it up a tone or two according to whatever nature has blessed you with. On darker skin tones, she applies slightly more intense shades of rose, blending chocolate or taupe colors with a light shimmer or mother-of-pearl finish to give a natural sun-kissed glow.
That is not to suggest "pretty" obviates the possibility of anything

Sony Ericsson is getting ready to add to their smartphone collection with the Xperia active, built for the active adventurous individual.
The Xperia active is a smartphone designed specifically to withstand all sorts of environments. Its rugged design is rust-proof, H20-friendly and the screen is completely scratch resistant. Perhaps what's most impressive is the wet finger tracking system that makes the touchscreen functional in the rain. Technical specifications for the Xperia active include the Android 2.3.4 operating system, built-in GPS and a pulse monitor. Sony Ericsson has also put in a Mobile BRAVIA Engine, which is a reality display that makes the screen much sharper and crisper.

cavmonkey Posts: 2An update.
There is another problem that seems to be related. The driver side turn signal go out, like if the bulb is burnt out, it doesnt blink. If I pull the bulb and put the same bulb back in, it works. But then the directional will go out again in a day or so.
But if both sides are working, the ABS light does not come on. But the hazards still cause the problem. If I pull the tail light plug from one side, the directional for the opposite side causes the ABS light to come on.
Seems like if I can keep both sides functional, the ABS light problem is not an issue, so the issue is that the drivers side directional keeps going out. As stated above, just removing and reinserting the bulb temporarily gets it working again. Unfortunatley, since it is not my car I can say when and why the drivers side directional fails. -
candie Posts: 28Hi Pat and All: After literally a month of problems with the 95 Cavalier, and some not so honest mechanics, I today had a friend's son come by (from out of town) and got some results Two compressors later, three idler and three serpentine belts later at a cost of over $1200. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper which I'm sure you all realized from my previous posts.
I'm not trying to be cheap, so please don't misunderstand but now my plug wires need to be replaced. Would anyone know about (ballpark range) how expensive OR, hopefully inexpensive this is to do? I have only put 350 miles on this car myself and it seems like I've paid dearly for each and every mile. The only saving grace is it is REAL GOOD on gas. My friend assures me that for now other than the wires, I am in pretty good shape (the car is, LOL). I was ready to get rid of it.
Any help once again would be greatly appreciated!!!

pat Posts: 10,421I'm going to suggest one more time that you have a look at the discussions on our Maintenance & Repair board since that is where you are most likely to find the folks who can answer questions like these. There is one discussion you'll see at the top of that list, "Got a Quick Technical Question?", that might be your best bet for this particular situation, but look over the list and see what you can find. You may find several discussions that have helpful information for you - you won't know until you look!
Either way, keep us posted. -
lexiyqt Posts: 1Hi, I am not sure if anyone can help me, But I have a 1997 chev cavalier 2.2L with air conditioning. I was driving down the highway, and it was making a noise like the fan was hitting the shroud. But It wasn't. and all of a sudden, doing 55mh. It quit!!!!!! It didn't overheat. At first we were told by a mechanic that it was a timing chain. Then we thought it may be a head gasket. It smelled of burning oil. Oil level was not down. It is getting fuel and spark. The tumblers went in the ignition switch, but we can turn it over With a jumper wire on the starter. It still will not run. I have been having problems starting it in wet weather for a while now. I had to turn it over repeatedly before it would fire. No one can tell me what is wrong. Any ideas?

nelling Posts: 3I have an automatic 1997 Cavalier and last week at a stop light, the engine killed. I put it in park and it started up just fine, but when I went to put it in drive it killed again. It continued to have no problem starting up and it ran just fine in neutral and in park but as soon as I attempted to put it in to any gear the engine would kill. I attempted to get the car in gear for about 1/2 hour by trying all tricks that I knew , but nothing seemed to work, the car simply wouldn't keep running when put in gear. With the help of others I was able to push the car to a nearby goodyear. By the time they got around to looking at it (4 hours later), nothing was wrong. They had no problem putting it into drive or reverse and they drove it around just fine, so no work was done on it. They suggested that it was the torque converter or the transmissions solenoid. I have had no problems with the car since that day and it has ran as great as it always have. One more thing, the car sat for about 1 week without running before this strange occurance happened, while temps were in the 90's and humidity was very high. Is goodyear's prognosis accurate? Has anyone experienced an issue like this that can assist me? Thank you!
alternator Posts: 570For owners of Cavaliers from 1995 through 1999, you don't have to remove your dashboard to access your radio.
In an earlier post I mentioned that the Cavalier dash could be cut in such a way as to provide easy access to the radio for service or replacement. At that time I didn't know how to post a picture illustrating where to make said cut, but now I do and so I will !
In my photo, two white lines indicate where you can make a shallow cut (with a rotary tool cut-off wheel) which will separate the bottom, U-shaped part of the trim plate from the upper part of the plate (cut through the plastic slowly, allowing it time to cool rather than melt). The U-shaped part can then be pulled off (you will be able to snap it back in place using the existing clips). The location of the cut is such that it will be hardly noticeable.
When the U-shaped part is replaced, you may need to put a thin shim or two under the part if it does not exactly lay flush with the upper part.
This is so much easier than removing the dashboard. -
fish8 Posts: 2,282Buying a '95 Cavalier in 2005...not sure what to say about that. Sounds like a risky proposition.
As far as cutting the dash picture above......tell me your not serious about that. Never is a million years would I ever consider cutting the dash in any of my current or previously owned cars. -
mdaffron Posts: 4,421If you'll read his post again, you'll see that he has also bought a total of FOUR Cavaliers over the years. I was wondering equally as much why he bought Cavaliers No. 2, 3, and 4.
I think it's a valid question, why someone would continue buying Cavaliers when he has such an opinion of them.
So I'll rephrase:
Why did you continue buying Cavaliers with that opinion of them?

mandi77 Posts: 3I'm starting to realize that my cute little car may actually be a devil in disguise. It seems to be the way, but I feel better when I take my car to the shop, as opposed to my old car. I had a 1996 Ford Probe GT. It was a sweet ride, but when that warrantee expired.....OMG, let me tell you, I dumped almost 10 grand into it before I sold it. A week after the warrantee expired....my clutch went, and the things are built so weird that it was hours of labor for the guys to just get to the clutch. At least with the Cavalier, they are so common, that majority wise, the parts are fairly cheap, and fairly easy to work on. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way I guess.
Mandi -
alternator Posts: 570you haven't tried yourself! I modified three different Cavalier dashboards in this manner, and if you didn't know about the cut you wouldn't likely ever be aware of it. Truly.
The reason for this is that the cut follows along a depressed line in the dash, so the cut looks like it probably belongs there. -

caryphd Posts: 3">I bought a Cavalier new in '96 (one of those torquoise ones that now seems like it's every third car on the road today) when I was in grad school, and, while recalls were practically a weekly event for the first year (my favorite was a starter issue that if not fixed MIGHT make the steering column burst into flames whether the vehicle was being driven or not...lol), the car has given me almost no trouble and what troubles it has had, beyond the problem so common it's printed on the gas cap, have needed only cheap fixes (maybe I have the last honest and affordable dealership service department in America?). Just this year I had to finally have break pad work done.
My Cav did develop a problem this year, though--wonder if anybody has some insight. In January, while siting at a stop light, I heard a high pitched metallic whistling sound coming from under the passenger side of the hood. It either went away when the car was going over 25mph or I just couldn't hear it because of other traffic sounds. Took it in and the service guy said he couldn't locate the source of the sound and it went away when he took the car out on the highway so it may, in his opinion, just be from driving the car in the city on a really cold day (10 degrees and no parking garage at work). Sure enough, when the weather warmed up the noise went away. Yesterday it came back after I sat in backed up traffic for 5 minutes waiting for the police to deal with somebody's fender bender. So much for the cold weather theory. Anybody know what it might be? It's seems loudest when the car idles, doesn't change when in neutral.

alternator Posts: 570
caryphd Posts: 3Thanks. I was thinking maybe serpentine, too. A slipping belt would explain why the noise comes and goes, and is now maybe not going to go anymore. I had a serpentine replaced two years ago. Funny story about that. After they replaced the belt, the guys left a tool under my hood. When I went back for an oil change three months later..."Oh THAT'S where that went!" I drove around for three months and even to another city 2 hours of Interstate driving away and the tool stayed put. They gave me an unsolicited free oil change and transmission flush (AKA "Please don't sue us"). lol

mdaffron Posts: 4,421If it was really cold that winter day and you had your defroster on, then your a/c compressor was on too -- many people don't realize that the a/c compressor works in defrost to remove moisture from the interior of your car. Now it happens in late June, and I'll bet you had your air conditioning on.
In both cases, your compressor was putting a load on the engine -- and on that serpentine belt. (You ever tried to turn an a/c compressor by hand, without the belt attached? WOW!)
Chances are, you'll only find the belt squeaking when a load is placed on it. Just to make sure, though, you might have them check your power steering pump -- which is also belt-driven -- while they're replacing the belt.

While the Cincinnati Art Museum is closed, a sniper fires 19 rounds into a bronze cube. Video and still cameras record the bullets as they make their way from the sniper's rifle in the museum's front lobby, travel past more traditional works of art, and pierce the metal cube, mounted in the Great Hall. "Crown," the work of conceptual artist Todd Pavlisko, now on display at the museum, has generated discussion and some controversy. Matt Distel, Art Museum adjunct curator of contemporary art, joins us to discuss "Crown" and its place in the world of art.
Image Machine: Andy Warhol & Photography will be opening this month at the Contemporary Arts Center downtown. Jane Durrell welcomes the CAC's Raphaela Platow to talk about this photographic exhibition, the celebrities it showcases, and how it ties in to the city-wide FotoFocus event.

5 Things To Consider Before Taking Back A Cheater
According to several studies, between 20 percent and 70 percent of people have cheated on their spouse. There are many sources explaining the reasons for these indiscretions, as well as tips to help a relationship survive an affair. Knowledge about the many dimensions of infidelity can help empower you to have the kind of marriage you desire after one spouse has cheated. Some things to consider are the reasons people cheat, who they cheat with and the nature of the affair. Is it emotional, physical, or a combination of the two?
People cheat for a multitude of reasons such as sexual dissatisfaction, but the primary reason cited by both men and women is actually emotional dissatisfaction. Men and women often identify emotionally based reasons, such as "not feeling desired or appreciated," "a lack of communication," or "differing values." Nonetheless, if you are one of the husbands or wives who have been cheated on, here are some important concerns to reflect on before reconciling.
1. Does your spouse have a parent and/or close friends who have cheated?
If the answer is yes, do not underestimate how this influences your spouse. A message can get internalized that cheating is acceptable or just a part of "everyday life." You also want to watch for your partner spending time, especially nights out, with known cheaters. It would not be a good idea to try to entirely control your spouse, but he or she should be responsive to your concerns. If this behavior continues, a cheater will be at risk for ongoing improprieties.
2. Is your spouse good at compartmentalizing?
"Compartmentalization" is a defense mechanism that people use to separate internally conflicting thoughts from one another. People generally have a tendency to compartmentalize parts of their lives so they can better control them and cope with life's stressors. For example, we may act a certain way at our jobs, another way with friends and yet a different way with family. If your spouse tends to compartmentalize, this could be a serious red flag. Many successful people use compartmentalization to get ahead, but unfortunately, sociopaths are also known to be exceptionally good at compartmentalizing! This is not to say that your spouse is a sociopath. However, you need to understand what mechanisms allow someone to have sex with their co-worker on a desk at the office, then sit with you at the dinner table and act as if everything is perfectly normal.
3. Do they exhibit enough guilt and genuine remorse for the affair?
From what I have seen in my practice, treating many couples over many years, I believe most cheaters really do feel guilty and remorseful about their affairs. However, this will not necessarily stop the cheating behavior. Some people do not feel the least bit regretful. Some may see the affair as the justifiable ramifications of a bad marriage. If your partner falls in the "not feeling remorseful" category, taking him or her back is ill-advised. The cheater must see their fault or this person will never be able to connect with you emotionally and honestly. Even with a "bad marriage," the accountability was still on your partner to problem solve appropriately (e.g., seek therapy, talk to clergy, etc.). You should also hear the person verbalize sincere, genuine and copious apologies.
4. Are you completely certain that the affair is over?
If your spouse remains involved with the other person on any level, then it is not completely over and you will never be able to move forward. There cannot be any contact. No Facebook friendship, no texts, no phone calls, no working together, no anything. Your spouse should be able to prove this to you beyond any doubt by being utterly transparent.
5. When you should never take back a cheater.
In some cases, it is not advisable to take back a cheater. If you are not married and do not have children together, it may be best to go your separate ways after an affair. In addition, be warned that some people will continue to cheat whether or not they are satisfied with their marriage. If it is the case, such a person is likely unable to stay faithful. If possible, it is also imperative to find out if the cheating is a onetime affair or a pattern of multiple affairs. If you married a serial cheater, you should throw in the towel.
It is possible to rebound from an affair and have a happy marriage. If you are able to clearly sift though the concerns listed and decide to work it out, it is highly suggested that you pursue therapy together in order to work though the unfaithfulness. The goals of therapy should be to work on forgiveness, re-build trust and create a strong emotional connection. Also, each person should be able to discuss their thoughts and feelings clearly and openly in regards to the transgression. If you do decide to take back a spouse after an affair, you must make a conscious decision to move forward and not remain stuck in that space between being bitter and forgiving. Only then can your marriage recover from infidelity.

In Yesterday's Pennsylvania Democratic primary two incumbent members of the Blue Dog Coalition, Jason Altmire and Tim Holden, lost their re-election bids to more liberal opponents. Unless newly elected freshmen choose to join the coalition, the coalition's membership could be down to just 18 Representatives next year; in 2008 they had 54 members.

In Which Chris Van Hollen Tells Jason Altmire to Get Real |
By: Phoenix Woman Sunday November 7, 2010 12:45 pm |
The big-business-worshipping Blue Dogs are (along with Big Media allies like Lawrence O'Donnell) trying to push the myth that they lost big, not because they pressured Obama to go with a stimulus package that every economist worthy of the name said was too small, but because of (get this) Nancy Pelosi.

"Deem and Pass" Strategy Rendered Useless by Right-Wing Noise Machine |
By: David Dayen Tuesday March 16, 2010 3:59 pm |
Thanks to a coordinated effort to paint a strategy long used by both parties as secretive and unconstitutional, Democrats have bungled their preferred "deem and pass" strategy for health care reform with just one vote, leaving it with pretty much no political utility.
Breaking Down the House Whip Count on Health Care's Final Passage |
By: David Dayen Thursday December 31, 2009 9:30 am |
While lots of House Blue Dogs say they're keeping an open mind on the final vote, nothing has changed on the political landscape where the same people continually worried about challenges from their right and habitually unwilling to take stands on Democratic priorities and principles would suddenly change their worldviews. I would be surprised if more than a handful changed their vote. Which means that Speaker Pelosi will have a difficult job getting to 218, no matter what comes out of the conference committee.

Jason Altmire seems to think that if Democrats get their asses kicked today, it just proves he's right about everything: Rep.

M&A Activity: The Invisible 'Tuck-in' Deals
April 2013 By Erik Cagle, senior editorCronin expects more robust activity for the label, packaging and direct marketing services providers, as the market believes in the long-term potential of those segments. Generic print producers, meanwhile, will suffer as pricing pressures, extreme overcapacity, and union and pension obligations will make it harder to consummate a deal, he says.
Cronin notes that many of these owners do not grasp the rise and fall of their asset value, market conditions and industry perceptions. "Owners must move away from the 'build it and they will come' mentality and begin using resources to fund R&D efforts for new products and services," Cronin remarks. "Financing, a poor balance sheet, recent weak performances, older equipment and a lack of differentiators impacts a company's value and potential for a successful exit."
The M&A market can be one of feast or famine. Take Jim Cohen, executive vice president of mergers and acquisitions for Houston-based Consolidated Graphics (CGX), who characterizes the current state of industry transactions as "slow and ugly, with a smattering of attractive opportunities." Declining or recovering earnings, meager growth prospects, eroding gross margins and delayed capex moves are all continuing to cloud the M&A forecast.
"We will continue to see more of the same—distressed deals and smaller mergers of two drunks trying to prop each other up and a few healthy deals—for the next year," he says. "There will also be some healthy companies that will put their toes back in the water to test the M&A market. With each day that passes, owners will have more runway behind them that shows improved profitability from the recession dip, and this longer period of improving earnings will give buyers more confidence and make them more willing to make acquisitions."
There are other variables that could spark more transactions in the coming years. Cohen adds that some owners don't have confidence in the industry moving forward, while others cannot afford, or refuse to risk, investing in newer technologies like digital printing. It's a double-edged sword; he notes that the most attractive M&A candidates, the ones with the best cases to sell, are solutions providers that have already embraced newer technologies, made the necessary capex and kept their pricing up. Those still languishing in the same challenging verticals from 10 years ago will find it difficult to locate an enthusiastic buyer.
Cohen cautions that one mistake an owner sometimes commits is running the company as if he/she is going to sell it. Delaying capex, new technology and not reinvesting profits back in the business are tell-tale signs. Another mistake Cohen sees is growing top-line sales at the expense of profit margin, either through lowering prices or overpaying for tuck-in acquisitions.
"Another common mistake is entering the market to sell your business with unrealistic expectations relating to pricing," he notes. "Not only will this lead to disappointment, but it is very disruptive to any business to be on the market for a long period of time—especially if it doesn't have a happy ending."
One development in recent years has been the emphasis on infrastructure assets, according to John Hyde, senior vice president of the National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL), who heads the association's mergers and acquisitions advisory team. He cites the example of acquiring a company that is geographically "just far enough" and "just close enough" to warrant a partial consolidation. "The concept is that the target would be viable financially on its own and it would also feed the mother ship," he remarks.
Hyde has witnessed an uptick in "healthy" M&A where there is sufficient cash at closing to make it worthwhile for shareholders, not just for the seller's creditors. It's a trend that goes back to 2011, though he stops short of saying there is a robust market for entities sold as a going concern.
Hyde notes there are many family-owned businesses still dominating the landscape, companies that face unique challenges as they seek to transition ownership. It's not unusual for firms to suffer from poor communication between family members and business partners, which can lead to missed opportunities.
New Direction Partners, an M&A advisory firm, has witnessed a "fairly robust" M&A market in the past 12 months, notes Peter Schaefer, partner. He's seen an increase in buyers willing to pay cash for healthy businesses, a welcome diversion from the recent period when buyers were highly risk adverse and fearful of overpaying in an economy that could bottom out further. Those concerns have been allayed.
"There also remains a strong market for tuck-in opportunities," he says. "These are smart, low-risk opportunities for a buyer to fill up his/her existing capacity by purchasing a book of business. From the seller's perspective, this structure is not as attractive as all-cash at closing, but it at least enables the seller to get more than liquidation value for a struggling business. Depending upon a company's specialty, size and profitability (or lack thereof), this may still be the only option for a seller."
Buyers like being able to pick and choose from the available equipment, he notes, and paying for revenues successfully transitioned, while sellers find the royalty rate alone makes it more attractive than an outright liquidation. It can protect the jobs of many employees, while enabling the seller to get a higher price if revenues return to normal levels, he points out.
Schaefer admonishes prospective sellers to not halt investments in their companies, and points out that buyers will rightfully reduce their offer if there is a need for material capital expenditures. "It's critical for a seller to continue running the business as if a transaction isn't going to happen until the day of closing," he adds. "This is a distracting process and an owner cannot afford to be marginalized if a transaction doesn't occur." PI

Spicy Tomato Jam
I decided to make this jam because it came from a trusted cookbook and is something I have thought of making on many different occasions. I imagine it would be good with goat cheese on top of crostini. I'm sure it would make a good omelet filling. But I also think it would be really good with meat – pork most likely. So I filled my kitchen with the intoxicating smell of cherry tomatoes cooking down with sugar and spices and then spooned it up into a jar. It was a huge hit with the whole family.
1 pound
ripe cherry tomatoes, about 3 cups
4 tablespoons
4 tablespoons
light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons
fresh ginger, grated
lemon, sliced into thin half moons
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon
ground cloves
2 tablespoons
unfiltered cider vinegar
salt and cayenne pepper
- Combine the tomatoes, sugars, ginger, lemon, spices, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the vinegar in a medium-size, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of cayenne and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the tomatoes cook down to a jam and the sugars are bubbly and caramelized, 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon vinegar to taste.

Majority Of Americans Do Not Ask Medical Professionals About Hand Hygiene
"The evolution of HAI surveillance and reimbursement, coupled with the recognition that many HAIs are preventable, has caused healthcare facilities to further emphasize the importance of consistently implementing evidence-based prevention methods, such as hand hygiene, to reduce the incidence of infections," said William R. Jarvis, M.D., Former Director, CDC, President, Jason and Jarvis Associates, LLC. "Educating patients and their loved ones allows them to serve as safety advocates, taking an active role in their care by helping to ensure that HAI prevention is the business of all clinicians."
To empower patients and visitors with information on infection prevention, Kimberly-Clark's HAI Patient Education Program includes a toolkit, support for community events and information on mandatory reporting and infection prevention for patients and their families at www.preventinfections.com.
As part of this patient education initiative, Kimberly-Clark and Safe Care Campaign recently launched a Quick Response (QR) Code program that provides hospitals and healthcare facilities with a free QR code-enabled poster with access to nine educational video vignettes related to common patient safety issues.
"Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are challenged to safeguard patients from infections, but reducing and preventing HAIs is really everyone's responsibility," said Dr. Wava Truscott, Director of Scientific Affairs and Clinical Education, Kimberly-Clark. "The results of this survey are compelling and underscore the need for greater patient awareness and education in preventing the spread of HAIs. Kimberly-Clark is committed to providing both consumers and clinicians with the information they need to help reduce the spread of infections in the healthcare setting."
This survey was conducted online in the U.S. by ORC International on behalf of Kimberly-Clark from May 31 – June 3, 2012 among 1,020 U.S. adults. Results were weighted for age, sex, education, geographic region and race where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the U.S. population. Kimberly-Clark in the Healthcare EnvironmentAround the world, medical professionals turn to Kimberly-Clark for a wide portfolio of solutions that improve the health, hygiene and well-being of their patients and staff. As part of their healing mission, caregivers rely on Kimberly-Clark to deliver clinical solutions, hygiene & cleaning offerings, and educational resources that they can depend on to prevent, diagnose and manage a wide variety of healthcare-associated infections. This more than $1 billion global enterprise of Kimberly-Clark Corporation holds the No. 1 or No. 2 market share position in several categories, including infection control solutions, surgical solutions, pain management, hygiene solutions and digestive health. And throughout the care continuum, patients and staff alike trust Kimberly-Clark medical supplies and devices, KLEENEX tissues, KLEENEX & SCOTT skin care products and SCOTT towels for day-to-day needs. For more information, visit http://www.kchealthcare.com and http://www.kcprofessional.com. About Kimberly-Clark Kimberly-Clark and its well-known global brands are an indispensable part of life for people in more than 175 countries.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
China Sunergy
An under-$10 name in the semiconductor space that's starting to break out today is China Sunergy (CSUN), which manufactures its solar cells from silicon wafers utilizing crystalline silicon solar cell technology to convert sunlight directly into electricity through a process known as the photovoltaic effect. This stock has been blazing a trail to the upside in 2012, with shares up over 85%.
If you take a look at the chart for China Sunergy, you'll see that this is another stock that was stuck in a nasty downtrend for the past six months. Shares of CSUN dove from its September high of $4.56 to a recent low of $1.04 a share. After hitting that low, the stock has rebounded sharply on monster upside volume towards its current price of around $2.70 a share.
Market players should now look for more upside in CSUN with the stock triggering a breakout trade above some near-term overhead resistance at $2.50 a share. At last check, CSUN has taken that level out easily intraday and the volume has already hit 215,000 shares. The three-month average volume for CSUN is 68,652 shares. Traders should now watch for a sustained high-volume move and close over $2.50 to signal that CSUN wants to rip much higher.
One could be a buyer of CSUN off any weakness as long as it continues to trend above the breakout level of $2.50 a share. If that $2.50 level holds, and you happen to get long, then I would target a run back towards its next significant overhead resistance levels at $3 to $3.60 a share, or possibly its 200-day moving average at $4.20 a share. China Sunergy shows up on a recent list of 10 Stocks Under $5 Outperforming in 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

From an article about Nokia on OS News.... ========================= Feature phones sales are decreasing rapidly, smartphone sales have collapsed, and Windows Phone has - so far - proven to be the wrong bet. Ponder on this figure: in total WP7 and WP8 combined, Nokia only sold 19.9 million Lumia phones. That's it. To put this into perspective: in the first quarter Nokia sold Lumia devices (Q3 2011), Nokia still sold close to 20 million Symbian devices. In other words, Nokia was pumping out more Symbian phones per quarter in 2011 than it has sold Lumia phones in total to date. There is simply no way to spin this. This is also terrible news for Microsoft. If Nokia only sold 19.9 million WP7/8 devices in total, that means the total sales for Windows Phone will be round and about 25 million tops, and even in the last quarter, 1/3 of WP sales were old, outdated and non-upgradeable Windows Phone 7 devices. As much as I like Windows Phone, we simply have to face the music, be honest, and just come out and say it: Windows Phone is a dud ==============================
Sentiment: Strong Sell
iPhone and Galaxy S3 Rule!
Time to remind
Samsung Galaxy S3 Rules!
poor phands down to his last neuron- trys to make obsolete news about Nokia stand up as the truth- looks to me phands like the I turds and the droid turds are in deep doodoo and have been losing market share to WP8 phones for some time. So what do you plan to do when WP8 gets up to 50% or more of the market?? Have you laid in a supply of cyanide capsules?? even a sharp razor blade will do-- so I guess its going to be adios pretty soon for you eh
I wonder how much he lost on his short position.
Remind the M$hills
Bump again.
Rub the M$hills noses in it.
Reminder time.

this kit came with all the gaskets and parts i needed, it has no jets, but i live at 6500 ft above sea level, most jets are for sea level, so i need special jets anyhow. this kit contained all i needed to tear down and rebuild the carb

It seemed like such a basic kit, but it included everything I needed to get the job done. After rebuilding the Carb, the motorcycle sounded great!!

If you are forced to run ethanol diluted gasoline you will eventually ruin the o-ring that seperates the bowl from the body and then suck air with the potential to hole a piston. that makes a replacement kit a good insurance policy. they o-ring can be replaced at the side of the road if need be. buy a rebuild kit and stuff in you spares stuff for the time you'll need it.
