52-yard field goal does the trick for Falcons [5:56 AM]
Atlanta Journal Constitution reports:
'"At the coin toss, Chandler looked a little pale," said Bills defensive end Phil Hansen, whose team had just one sack. "He said, 'Hey, man, I'm sick; take it easy on me.'

Atlanta Journal Constitution reports:

No place like home [5:45 AM]

Falcons 33, Bills 30 [5:00 PM]

Q&A with Raion Hill [6:25 AM]
D and C reports:
'[Q:] The man you replaced, Henry Jones, started for 10 seasons and was among the NFL's best-ever strong safeties and one of the Bills' most popular players. How did Henry help you?

Draging to burn list in windows media player
When creating burn lists with windows media player , previously I would simply drag a song from any other folder to the burn list. I've been playing around with media player recently for another problem , and now I can't drag a song into the burn list unless it is already in the DETAILS PANE of WMP ! It is much quicker for me to find a song in my own folders , rather than scrolling through the massive list in the DETAILS PANE.
What have I done that has stopped WMP allowing me to drag any song , from any folder into the BURN LIST. How can I get it back to how it was. |
My System Specs |
27 Feb 2011 | #2 |
The standard answer would be to use a restore point if this is a fairly recent development and you did not knowingly make any changes in WMP configuration.
An alternative would be to use another burning application such as ImgBurn that lets you choose songs directly from a hard drive folder. |

Alfonso Cuarón
Age: 52
Oscar History: He was previously nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing for 2006's Children of Men, and also for Best Original Screenplay for 2002's Y Tu Mamá También.
French Twist: Cuarón and his son Jonás, who co-wrote Gravity, drew inspiration from classic cinema. "We were talking about some European films that we love, like A Man Escaped," Cuarón says, referring to Robert Bresson's 1956 thriller about a French resistance fighter imprisoned by the Nazis. "And we thought, 'Why don't we try to do a mainstream Hollywood version of that, here they take a minimalistic approach to do something huge?'"
Long Shot: Gravity opens with a bravura 17-minute shot. But Cuarón hopes that audiences are too caught up in the drama to notice. "People should not be aware of these things. What I like about extended takes is just the sense of real time, capturing the moment and trying to take out the artifice of cuts," he says. "It's never intended to be a 'Hey, mama, look, no hands!'"
Buddy System: Before tackling Gravity's immense technical challenges, Cuarón and his team sought advice from visionary directors such as James Cameron and David Fincher. "Fincher said, 'This is a great idea. You may be able to do it years from now when the technology is ready,'" says Cuarón. "He was right we had to invent the technology."
Up Next: He co-created the NBC supernatural thriller Believe (debuting March 10). Adam Markovitz
Steve McQueen
12 Years A Slave
Age: 44
Oscar History: First nomination.
Show and Tell: "Steve was the first to ask the question: Why have there not been more films on the American history of slavery?" says Brad Pitt, who produced 12 Years a Slave and costars as an itinerant worker. "It's a question it took a Brit to ask." McQueen, whose parents immigrated to the U.K. from Trinidad and Grenada, thinks it's still worth exploring. "If we don't face our past, we as a people will never understand what possible future we have," he says. "A lot of people in the film turn their backs on slavery and don't do anything about it. There's no bravery that needs to happen here by watching a movie, but it's about acknowledging the most important part of American history."
Slave Songs: For McQueen, one of the most enjoyable parts of making the film was re-creating the music of the mid-19th-century American South. "I found these recordings from Alan Lomax," he says. "He went around America during the '30s and '40s recording folk songs. I found he'd recorded some of these old slave songs." While Hans Zimmer wrote the film's score, McQueen worked closely with composer Nicholas Britell to reinterpret songs from the Lomax recordings.
Up Next: He's developing an HBO project about a young black man in NYC high society, and is also working on a movie musical. Anthony Breznican


text: So, I officially have proof that my efforts have been paying off. Not only have I lost 13 pounds in 25 days, but I no longer have to take Tums! I have acid reflux (which I know is a result of my weight gain) and in addition to my daily medication, I was getting to where I had to take about 4 tums every night before bed because my stomach hurt from eating awfully. I have been doing very well, maybe going over my calories only three times. Since I started my weight loss journey, I have not taken one Tums, nor have I needed to. I have not had any excrusiating upset stomach pains or much gas or bloating since eating heathfully, and only one incident of heartburn (from some chili). And I want to shout it from the rooftops....IT'S WORKING!!!! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I am proud of myself. I finally said, once and for all, I am getting healthy. And for once I'm actually sticking to it. YEAH-UH!! :carrot: =D Sorry, just had to revel in my happy moment. ;)

I have collected nastursium, pole bean and butternut squash seeds for planting next year.
Please tell me where I can find the proper way of drying, freezing to kill "bugs" and storing the seeds over the winter. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Pat, Your Nasturtium and Squash only need to be left to dry and then put in a paper envelope to store in a dark cool dry place. The beans can be frozen to kill any weevils after they have been dried. Drying just involves leaving them spread out on a paper plate or a regular plate with paper towels for at least a week after harvest. I usually leave them for a couple to be sure. To see if they are dry enough for freezing, take a few outside and smash them with a hammer on concrete or other hard surface. If they shatter, they are dry enough. If they smush, they need to dry longer. Once dry enough, put them in your freezer for a week. If you put in an air tight container, let the container come to room temp before opening. If you open too soon, you can kill the seed. You can keep the bean seed in the freezer for long term storage just remember to wait every time before opening the container. I prefer to just keep in a dark cool dry place to make it easier. Hope this helps, Remy |

Mark Fast Fall 2012
>> Mark Fast offered up a romantic take on grunge for Fall 2012, imbibing his signature knits with elements plucked straight from the '90s: halters, cutouts, midi skirts, and crop tops. Cashmere and mohair — in a dreamy palette of pink, blush, beige, and cream — kept the collection looking luxe, while playful elements like pom-pom fringe and wide-gauge mesh kept everything feeling fresh.

What I Did During My Summer Vacation: Burning Man Edition
Playa Bike Repair (228 comments)
As one of volunteer bike mechanics (I was the short Chinese guy who spoke with an Aussie accent!) at Playa Bike Repair, let me just say that even though may of us put in long hours at that camp, it was worth the cramped hands. The respect, kudos and love that we got from our fellow Burners was humbling. I rarely had to wait in line for coffee, ice or pancakes whenever I let it be known that I was picking up supplies for our camp or that I was due on shortly for a shift. I reckon that only people who got more respect than us were the EMRs and Rangers.
And for those questioning the cost of the bike rentals, keep in mind that those rental fees not only paid for the bike transportation, but also for the also the spare parts and oils/lubricants we handed out to fix thousands of bikes throughout the entire week and to keep the generators running to power our air compressors and camp amenities.

Hello! My son (a Navy instructor pilot at Vance) and his new wife purchased a house in Enid, OK. The landscaping is in rough shape. My husband and I live near Palm Springs, CA so all we know is desert planting! we are going to visit the young couple at the end of August to help with their house. Some experts in the Landscape Design have helped with the layout but suggested that I come here to find out what plants I should use to get the desired effect. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks for your help! Here is the link to the design postings. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/design/msg0700223410530.html |

What sort of soil do they have? Here in OK we have lots of sandy loam soils that are great, but also lots of dense, compacted clay soils that aren't. Also, what about the pH of the soil? Parts of Oklahoma have really acidic soils but others have highly alkaline soils. Do you have any idea if your son's place has alkaline soil or acidic soil? I'd hesitate to suggest plants without knowing about the soil pH and how well the soil does (or doesn't) drain. Dawn |

I have no suggestions, but having lived in Enid I can tell you to pick the toughest plants you can. Enid is subject to severe extremes of weather, from heat to ice and hail to flood AND WIND, always wind. Apparently they had an earthquake yesterday, too. Good luck. |
I can direct you to the Oklahoma Proven Selections. This list is a year or two out of date, but it will give you a place to start. Google Oklahoma Proven and you should be able to get the other two years. The picture link on the website appears to be up to date. |

I would look at Chinese Pitasche for a large tree. It will give color in the fall and it is a good tree. Tell them to stay away from quick growing trees, ie Silver Maples and Bradford Pears. Everyone and their neighbor plant Bradford Pears, but they are a weak tree and get frequent amputations in our weather (ice, wind). Crape Myrtles are very popular and are a good small tree/shrub. They come in different heights, so they need to make sure they buy the height and color they want. They can get beat up by the weather and bounce back. How likely are they to fuss with their landscape? (weed, water, replant, etc.) |
BichonLover...did you get a chance to look at the links I posted? |
I didn't answer on your other thread so that it could stay at the top. I don't know any landscape designers in Enid, but hopefully someone will. If they plan to make it a rental house, I would be very sparing with the landscape. I am surrounded by rental houses and very few of the renters bother to do anything other than mow the grass. I would think commercial property landscaping: stella d'oro daylilies, maybe a knockout rose, crepe myrtles. Those are all pretty tough plants and will be easy enough to take care of. |

The Commonwealth Government will make it simpler to adopt children from overseas. A new one-stop-shop will be established – the Intercountry Adoption Support Service – to help Australian families work through what can be a long, frustrating and painful process. Prospective families will be able to access a dedicated 1800 help line and a special website.Trained staff will advocate on their behalf, dealing with state authorities and partner countries.

The Commonwealth Government extends its deepest condolences to the Government and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud. King Abdullah was a key architect of Saudi Arabia's economic and political development. Amongst his many achievements, he oversaw the transformation of the Kingdom's economy, presided over the first municipal elections, and supported an expanded role for the consultative Shura Council, including the appointment of women.
The Commonwealth Government will establish a Digital Transformation Office (DTO) within the Department of Communications so that government services can be delivered digitally from start to finish and better serve the needs of citizens and businesses. The DTO will comprise a small team of developers, designers, researchers and content specialists working across government to develop and coordinate the delivery of digital services. The DTO will operate more like a start-up than a traditional government agency, focussing on end-user needs in developing digital services.
Australia opposes the death penalty at home and abroad. While Australia respects Indonesia's sovereignty, we are asking that Indonesia reconsider its decision to execute two Australian citizens. The government has made representations at the highest levels. The Foreign Affairs Minister and I have both made representations to our Indonesian counterparts and are continuing to make every possible effort through the most effective channels to stop Mr Sukumaran and Mr Chan being executed.

This afternoon I spoke with Prime Minister Abe to convey Australia's solidarity and support for Japan. Australia utterly condemns the actions of Daesh and its threat to murder two Japanese citizens. It is an outrage for Japan to have the lives of two citizens threatened by this murderous group. Australia stands with Japan as it faces this horrifying situation and calls on the captors to release these men and all other hostages.

Ground was broken today on the first major road upgrade for the new Western Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek. Work is now underway on stage one of the $509 million Bringelly Road upgrade, the first upgrade in a $3.6 billion package to provide essential road infrastructure that will create jobs, reduce congestion and improve safety for all road users. The investment by the Commonwealth and NSW Governments will help build a stronger and more prosperous Western Sydney by helping businesses within the South West Growth Centre to capitalise on the economic gains from developing a new Western Sydney airport.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott warmly welcome the entry into force on 15 January 2015 of the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA). JAEPA represents an historic development in economic relations between Japan and Australia and is the most significant bilateral economic agreement since the 1957 Agreement on Commerce. JAEPA lays the foundation for the next phase of bilateral economic relations, and will strengthen "the special strategic partnership" between Japan and Australia.

On the 10th of January 1940, the first convoy of the Second Australian Imperial Force departed for war. Over 5,000 men aboard the liners Otranto, Orcades, Orford and Strathnaver left Sydney Harbour to a chorus of whistles and cheers. Some men would have felt fear, others anticipation. Most, perhaps, a measure of both.

Today the Commonwealth Government announced that both the Disaster Recovery Payment and the Disaster Recovery Allowance will be provided to eligible residents affected by the Sampson Flat Bushfire in the Mount Lofty Ranges region of South Australia. This is a difficult time for those affected by the bushfire, which has had a devastating impact on local communities. We also thank our remarkable fire fighters and rescue crews who, through their dedication and selflessness, have ensured that there has been no loss of life. The Commonwealth Government assistance announced today is over and above the support already being provided under the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements, which were announced on Sunday.
The Government condemns the atrocity in Paris overnight. The thoughts of all Australians are with the families of those who have lost their lives in this barbaric act. Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of a free society. The Government will continue to do all it can to protect our community from terrorism.

More and more of our work and downtime requires us to slouch in a chair or perch atop a sofa; this has spawned a slew of posture-correcting concepts to remedy this unfortunate lifestyle development.
With the technology industry booming, people seem to be spending more time at their desks, fiddling away at their gadgets and inevitably finding themselves more and more contorted over the hours. There are many contraptions that aid our physical plight. Some examples of these products include variations of the ergonomic workstation (to prevent "Sitting Disease"), anti-slouch suits for exercise and leisure, as well as computer monitors that remind users to get up and take a stretch.

Re: McCarthyism v2.0 (242 comments)
There are hundreds of thousands of government engineers and analysts who have time to surf the internet at work. It is where most of the tech activity went after manufacturing went to China. Most of them have views consistent with how they live. The vast majority of them are not being explicitly paid to astroturf.
Re:confusion? (153 comments)
The distinction doesn't matter as much now in the age of internet and routine background investigations. I got arrested on a class one misdemeanor charge years ago. Since its not a felony, even had I been convicted I wouldn't have had to put it on job applications. I was completely innocent, and the charges were dropped. But it still turns up and I still have to explain it to employers when I try to change jobs. As far as I know it hasn't hurt me, but I still find it a bit worrisome that the whole "expunged from record" thing appears to have become a fiction.
I think this is another reason the pre-screening thing that the TSA has been pushing is a terrible idea. The mechanisms are already in place that with tiny changes create a huge subclass of undesirables that has trouble traveling.
Re:The press and the people... (228 comments)
People were more aggressive and less risk adverse in the past, and not as self-absorbed, but for the most part were never willing to stand up for what was right. For example, when Thomas Paine was in prison in France, the founding fathers left him hung out to dry. Nobody stood up to stop the genocide against Native Americans. There was a regional power struggle between the north and south US, which had different cultures, but poor southern white men did essentially nothing to help black men. America fought Germany because Germany declared war on the US, not because they were willing to fight Fascism, and the US did very little to help Jews escape. America fought Japan because they were pissed about Peal Harbor, not because of what Japan was doing in China. Very much of the domestic opposition to the war in Vietnam came from people who wanted to stay home, enjoy benefits of birth control pills, penicillin, and smoke weed, not because they had a more principled objection. I could go on.
I think its possible to understand a lot about "why this is", but we've got to be willing to give up our own vanity, and face the possibility that our ideals not only will not but can not be realized in anything like the form and time-frame that we may have hoped for. Our problems go very, very deep, its not like humanity just went off the tracks a few decades ago or even a few thousand years ago. Study animal behavior closely and you'll see that its all fucked up to, in pretty much the same ways. Maintaining idealism in the face of this takes an incredible patience, and a kind of courage. If we value courage, here's something to prove ourselves on maybe.
Re:Don't stop your meds! (218 comments)
I think your advice was reasonable, based on your experience, and it was reasonable for you to offer it.
I do have a partial disagreement with it though. Medications have side effects, often significantly undesirable, and there isn't a clear, universally applicable line which distinguishes all schizophrenics from all non-schizophrenics. I have had symptoms which meet the definition of schizophrenia, and I had them a lot more for a couple of years before they went away again. Suppose I had decided it was a problem worth getting medication for. Then I could never stop the medications again? That would seem like a good reason to be very cautious about ever starting treatment.
My sister is a doctor in a big city ER, so I can imagine what your experience is like. But that's a skewed sample. It doesn't include the much larger number of mild schizophrenics who never wind up in the ER. Also, many doctors are not very interested in understanding the more subtle tradeoffs with medications and their significance, and they prescribe drugs casually if the patient seems to be asking for it, or for the sake of doing some kind of treatment to cover their own liability or to justify the visit. How large a portion of doctors have that kind of arrogance I don't know, because I've encountered both. But the percentage who went into medicine because of some combination of attraction to money, having power over people, and vicarious sadism is not small. Particularly in the more difficult areas like mental health and ER work.
Re:About time (345 comments)
That's true, sort of like how Republican's pretend to care about limiting spending, but it keeps going up whenever they control both houses and the Presidency. I think having a Republican president and a Democratic congress would help some with the surveillance stuff for that reason: the Democrats pretending to care about executive over-reach would slow it a little. But despite the talk people like Feinstein and Pelosi would still be behind it when it mattered. They're cowards and they're too deeply connected to the money through stock and other interests. Plus a lot of the programs they support are secret, so nobody can call them on it.
Re:About time (345 comments)
I don't think that blackmailing of any sort is the reason they're not going to be stopped.
It won't stop because most people don't care very much, or it represents a kind of abuse of power which they favor. Same reason the drone war won't stop any time soon either.
Re:Then Fire Him (509 comments)
Seems to me you give up too much by tossing out vegans and religious nuts. As a right-leaning, freedom loving vegan, I don't see why I bring less to the table than pot smoking libertarians. Also, a significant portion of the religious right aren't a problem either, they've been caricatured by leftist agnostics who don't understand their way of thinking and lump them in with the bigoted, anti-science variety.
Re:This is frightening (312 comments)
Or maybe the galaxy is teeming with life, but broadcast radio is a very brief, primitive technology, and ringworlds and Dyson spheres are a real bitch to build?
I don't think that most people really grasp how far apart things are, and how inappropriate it is to think of space is if its a gigantic ocean.
I think there are still frontiers, but 'crossing space' is not a right way to think about them.
Re:The workers are upset (841 comments)
I worked in the aerial surveillance industry for several years. In the niche I was in, everyone pretended it was about patriotism and national service. But if you looked at what actually drove the decisions, it was mostly about money, spiced up a little bit with vicarious violence. Aside from some minimal ass covering, there wasn't anybody in the whole chain of command that considered morality or what was actually helping, this was always regarded as someone else's responsibility. And for what they put into it, the money was actually quite good. I have almost no sympathy. Many of them are too far into it to get out now, but they got themselves there by lying to themselves. If they were actually sincere, when they came across evidence of corruption, they'd want to do something about it. But when I started discovering more of what was going on, nobody wanted to hear a thing about it. How they represent their actions to themselves, in their own imagination, doesn't change the nature of what they are doing.
Re:It's not that simple ... (335 comments)
At least half of the people I know are Chinese, most of them in their early 40's or so who came over in the 90's. You're the first one I've knowingly encountered who seems to have any clue about this sort of thing. Though its a gross oversimplification, I tend to view Chinese and eastern European immigrants as the inheritors of western civilization in the US, since the rest of us seem to have given up on it. Their kids are going to be powerful in another 40 or 50 years. Yet my Chinese friends generally don't seem to have a clue about political and cultural history, they're all about money and taking care of their families. In some ways they know a lot less than I do even about Chinese cultural history. I've toyed with the idea of trying to teach a class on it at the local weekend Chinese school, aimed at parents. Not that they would necessarily be interested or that my preaching would accomplish anything.
Re: Control... (926 comments)
Hi. A few comments....
Few people can read Latin. To a significant extent, words really do mean what you want them to.
There are many Christian gods. Though the Christ gods are all interrelated, being united under the same name and a common scripture, some of them are a lot better than others. And in different ways, many Christians are smart enough to recognize that their god is not The One True God. I think that when you communicate your view and experience to those Christians, their god changes a little bit, because it thinks through them, sort of. I think that this is necessary, that their gods can not be defeated by force.
Also it appears to me that every major philosophy or religion, however screwed up, has a half-truth or two that it does better than other religions. For those of us who must fight Christianity because it persecutes our spirits and offends our moral sensibilities, I think it's still worth keeping this in perspective, to avoid cutting ourselves off from something we need. Unfortunately, I think it's a little bit like living in a country with a corrupt culture and government. No path forward is quite satisfactory.
I'm not really expressing a view on C.E. vs A.D., just throwing some related thoughts out there.
Re:YAY !! (261 comments)
Cocaine isn't chemically addictive. Like cocaine, marijuana is psychologically addictive. I'm not for or against legalizing marijuana, just pointing out that it is not nonaddictive. I know a couple of people that are addicted enough that they can't get through a day without it. Arguably its still not as bad for them as alcohol though.
Re:WTF? (195 comments)
I went to crappy universities, not because my grades and test scores wouldn't get me in to the top tier schools, but because I didn't have financial help from my parents and preferred not to go deeply into debt. I foolishly figured that if I was intelligent, worked hard and respected other people I could get a decent job. My classmates got jobs from relatives at Intel and HP as soon as they graduated, while I never even got a phone screen.
So if the heuristic works 90% of the time the other 10% of guys don't deserve to work? I haven't found work within 500 miles of my wife and kids for 4 of the past 5 years, and its still rare that I can even get as far as a phone screen, notwithstanding that I've been effective in every job I've had. I think the heuristic stinks.
Re:Ha ha ha (465 comments)
From my own studies of free enterprise as a CAS, it appears to me that if any company controls more than perhaps 20% of a market, or if fewer than 10 or so companies constitute a large percentage of a market, they have effectively too much monopoly power.
And yet, in almost every market, we see one or two companies dominating more than half the market. By your analysis that's way, way too much monopolistic power, and it's the norm. Not very much negative feedback. It seems to me this dynamic has very much in common with communism, even though communism is a purer form so everything goes to hell in a faster and more thorough fashion.
In nature, two species can never survive in exactly the same niche, there has to be something that differentiates them. Oscillations in climate will do it, one species gets the upper hand for a while, then the other, and its stable. (This is like how its easier to balance a pole on your finger if you move you finger randomly back and forth - same principle.) Geographic diversity can help too, and animals can survive in the same fixed locality in slightly different niches that overlap. But within a particular locality, one species always dominates a particular niche. The same dynamics apply to companies. Very quickly things move towards something close to monopoly. Just a moderate amount of regulation isn't enough to fix that. And a large amount of regulation obviously isn't going to fix it either when the political system is corrupted by the same dynamics.
Re:Time is dependent on observation? (530 comments)
I'll get modded to oblivion if anyone sees this, but I get objectively verifiable premonitions in dreams that can't plausibly be extrapolated from past experience. This happens occasionally to a lot of people, though most scientific types who have experienced it are shy about talking about it. Like most other personal characteristics there's a distribution of tendencies, with a few people being way out on the tail. How it works I have no idea, but it works somehow.
Re:First Post! (530 comments)
OK. Though if you have an idea about how something can be understood, and you successfully use that idea to describe an event or process, that illustration amounts to a kind of evidence that your idea isn't grossly wrong, even if it doesn't prove it to be better than alternative descriptions.
I see that you've been reading slashdot longer than me, but for the six years I've been doing it, the summaries are almost all wrong. The distinction between evidence and illustration, while important, seems small to me in that context.
Re:Hmm (530 comments)
Whoohoo. First time I've ever encountered anyone else who recognizes this. Likewise with sound.
Re:Hmm (530 comments)
We are still, also, a long way away from understanding what causes wavefunction collapse, since the notion of observation is clearly ludicrous: there are no observers in the center of the sun, or on the far side of Jupiter, as two minor examples.
As a mathematical convenience, the system doing the measuring is conceptually separated from the one being measured. There being an 'observer' just means that there's a physical interaction, it has nothing to do with the presence of a scientist.
I think that the system itself, even though non-coherent, is still in an indeterminate state relative to anything outside the system though, and that the philosophical implications of this aren't generally recognized. Most people think of wavefunctions as being collapsed or not collapsed in an absolute sense, but I don't think that's right. They're collapsed for things they're interacting with, or else there wouldn't be chemistry, but the whole system is still in a complicated indeterminate state from an outside standpoint, even though it can't be described by a single coherent wavefunction.

Is It Okay To Cry?
By Kate Evans
I'm in session with a client who is telling me about a very emotional event in her life. She begins to tear up, but she fights it and keeps the tears back. We continue to talk and she continues to fight. She isn't fooling anyone. I can see the tears there, wanting to come out. Then there is a moment when one of us says something that makes it so she can't hold them back any more and the tears begin to flow.
I see a woman expressing her feelings, allowing herself to be vulnerable and thereby gaining strength. As she reaches for the box of tissues she says the one thing you might never expect, "I'm sorry." As if her tears are an imposition on me. As if her emotion is something she should not burden anyone else with. As if she has just messed up and let me know she is human and she must apologize for it.
From children through adults I find that crying is something most people do not want to do. They see it as a flaw in themselves. They see it as weakness and no one is supposed to know that they have weakness in them. I have new clients who warn me ahead of time, "I'm going to be crying a lot." They'll even say, "I know this is the place to cry but I just wanted to give you a heads up." They are not doing this for my benefit. I'm a therapist; I expect tears and welcome their presence as a sign of release. My clients are fearful and need to defend themselves as if I will condemn them for being vulnerable.
"I don't like to cry in front of other people." I hear that one a lot. Sometimes they'll decide I'm not "other people" because of my position and our relationship, but it doesn't change their willingness to do it with anyone else.
So what is it that makes us think that crying is weakness, ridiculous, or even shameful? It's a combination of many things. What messages were you given as a child? Were you the one who always had to keep it together because everyone else was losing it? Have you ever had an experience where you were crying and well meaning people said, "Don't cry, it'll be okay"? Have you ever had anyone point blank tell you that you shouldn't cry or that you are too emotional?
When we cry we feel out of control. If we are out of control then we are vulnerable to attack or judgment. Maybe it even makes us feel like a child again, when so little was in our control. If you do not have someone in your life that you feel safe enough with to cry with them, then find a good therapist and let it out with them.
Crying can actually be a sign that you are moving forward with something like grief. Many people are numb after the death of someone they love. They think they are doing fine and that they have it all under control. Then they get angry with themselves when they reach a stage where they begin crying at little things and try to stop it from happening. What they really need is to just let it out. Let the emotion be expressed and you will feel like you are the master of your own body again.

There were even many church services cancelled today.

Ooooooh...you've got some real snow there! Poochie looks like he's taking it all in...LOL. Our childhood dog used to race around the backyard like a banshee in the snow and then come running inside soaked and exhausted just like us kids. If we don't get some "nice" snow down here soon I'm going to be bummed. Need some snow insulation for all my bulbs! Definitely wouldn't be saying that if I lived in a snow belt as you do...or probably after I have to shovel a few times. |
We don't have nearly that much snow here, but my cats share that same snow joy. It's wierd. Maggie goes out and digs and digs and pulls out a leaf and brings her "kill" in proud as can be. They come in snow crusted, eat like pigs, groom and then nap like the dead. Good life huh? |
Linda, after what you had last winter, your elation with current snow classifies you as certifiable. Please keep it up north with you. Locally, it is the 30th anniversary of the blizzard of 1978. This happened a few months after I moved to Cincinnati, and I immediately wanted to move to the tropics. Karen |

Cops find drugs worth $246 million in steamroller
Australian Federal Police said Wednesday that they arrested a Canadian man and a U.S. man in Sydney after finding 770 pounds of cocaine and meth. The men were charged with importing drugs and face a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
It was the police agency's second major drug bust in a week.
On Friday, police said officials had tracked down a boat carrying 440 pounds of cocaine to Australia after it ran aground in the small island nation of Tonga.
A corpse was found on board. Officials are trying to determine the cause of death.

Are you a victim? - page 6
A professor in my past semester at college left a very powerful idea with me, one that I think can really benefit a lot of people on this board. I walked into my first day of Anatomy & Physiology... Read More
0Jun 12, '13 by kz020Love this article! I had a girl in my class who blamed everyone else for her grades...especially her youngest child. It was the same excuse every day. It was pretty despicable to me to blame your mistakes on a helpless child. Pretty disgusting if you ask me. I wish someone would have shared this with us in school. We had a bunch of complainers and whiners in our class.
0Jul 6, '13 by queseraseraWith the 2nd half of the summer semester and fall coming up, I'm bumping this thread! Hope everyone is doing well in their studies!
0Jul 6, '13 by meeepI wish everyone in my class could read this. All anyone talks about is how they come straight from work, so they can't read before class, or how they have families, so they don't have time to study on the weekends. I really wonder what they were thinking when they registered for a summer A&P class. It seems like they all expect the teacher to just hand them the A's that they "NEED" without any of the effort.
1Jul 8, '13 by Corpsman514Wow!! This thread needs to be highlighted and should be read by ALL! I've been there, for many years. I've been a victim of my own since I first attempted college in fall of 09. I dropped because I was failing my full time schedule due to "work" versus my inability to manage time and priorities effectively. The last time I did this was just last semester, again due to being an idiot. Not this semester, not anymore. I will own up and take responsibility, I don't want to be THAT student or THAT NURSE.queserasera likes this.
0Jul 27, '13 by DadStudentPerhapsI think some people post their struggles on these boards because they are seeking help or inspiration. They want to hear from someone who had a similar situation and how they persevered. A lot of people are nervous because they are just starting out and are looking for direction. I agree that there are MANY people who do not apply themselves and then complain because they score a "F" on a test. These folks often blame a professor when they should look in the mirror. This is especially true with younger students who attend college and think they can party to midnight every other night, go back to the dorm and study to 0200, then grab a few hours sleep and head to class. I say this because I was that student back in the 80's. I've tried that approach and the best you can hope for is mediocrity. Most folks back in school at my age are juggling a job, kids, etc.. I have to plan my day out so when I get home from work, I have a plan that allows me to attend class and study. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball like my mom passing away this year. I just had to talk to the A&P Professor and he graciously gave me more time to submit my assignments. I'm an Instructor myself for a Fortune 500 Company. When I have a student I know is trying very hard, I will go above and beyond to help them pass the class. On the other hand, if I have a student obviously not paying attention, jaw jacking with the person next to them all day, have a bad attitude, or sleeping.... My attitude is "if they pass, they pass, if they don't, their fault". With all the above said, there are also some bad Professors out there. They range from habitually missing classes, to being extremely arrogant and unwilling to help, to the ones who just pass everyone irregardless if they miss half of the classes and never turn in an assignment. I even had a Sociology teacher that referred to white men as devils. Needless to say, being a white male, I quickly decided this class was not for me and dropped it.

And not on some namby-pamby scale of a few thousand years, but in geologic terms. The sort of terms that schoolchildren of the future will write on their wrists before tests, and […]

In a previous article, I wrote about Petrobank (OTCPK:PBEGF), a Canadian company that owns shares of the exploration and production company, Petrobakken (PBKEF.PK).
Petrobakken, which focuses on the Bakken and Cardium plays, is a good value in its own right -- priced at roughly half its risked Net Asset Value.
Company | Yield | Operating Netback |
Petrobakken | 6.6% | $53 |
Penn West (NYSE:PWE) | 7.3% | $33 |
Pengrowth (NYSE:PGH) | 7.0% | $29 |
Baytex (NYSE:BTE) | 5.5% | $37 |
But Petrobank is an even better bargain than Petrobakken, since each of its shares owns 1.1 shares of Petrobakken, yet trades at a substantial discount.
Since the earlier article was published, both Petrobakken and Petrobank have risen sharply. As expected, the price spread has narrowed from nearly $1.50 to about $0.50.
Petrobank has now announced a "Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB)," which is a quaint Canadian expression for a share buyback. Under the NCIB, Petrobank will buy back up to 7,784,304 shares, or about 10% of the company. Petrobank will finance the purchase by selling an equivalent number of Petrobakken shares.
The net effect of the NCIB is that each Petrobank nets $.50 in cash for each share, PLUS each remaining Petrobank share ends up with a bigger stake in Petrobakken. As the earlier article discussed, a Petrobank share is worth roughly $3 more than a Petrobakken share. So we expect Petrobank to continue repurchasing its own shares and liquidating Petrobakken shares until the share prices reflect this reality.

OR do I just go with the formality this house seems to give?
Any ideas? We haven't done anything to the outside yet. I got some great suggestions here earlier on curb appeal and now am just trying to zero in on my actual plan... I really like a more cottage feel, but don't want to design against the grain. Can anyone see a white picket fence somehow, or an arbor? What about a more decorative screen door and porch elements? Is this crazy or possible? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I could easily see a more naturalistic garden similar to the style that Oehme & van Sweden Landscape Architects do, with large swathes of grasses and perennials, taking up to a 1/4 or 1/3 of the area against the house out towards the street. They have lots of their work on the web, just google them. The scale of the plantings and massing would complement the house without getting too busy, yet also soften the symmetry and could give a lot of color and texture. I think lots of repetition with massed plantings would better complement the architecture. You could still get a cottage garden feel with the plant choices, just don't get too "spotty" with the layout. |
Thanks, I will check them out:) |
- Posted by still_lynnski (My Page) on Mon, Apr 12, 10 at 13:58
I think you can get a lot of "cottage" mileage by making a small architectural change to the house. Focus on that white front-facing facade, and build a porch front and center, extending forward where the 5 green gumdrops are now lined up. The porch should have a railing, and the railing must be white. If you squint your eyes and imagine that, you actually have a terrific cottagey beginning. Then create a bright blowsy cottage garden with that part of your house as the focal point, and the rest of the house will fade into the background. |
Thanks still lynnski - that does sound good:) |

I say more trees. Trees make houses look cozy and snuggled in the forest...you sould plant beautiful flowering trees in the front yard, and towering trees in the backyard. |
