I'm not getting any heap "errors" from Wine, but from STO itself. I'm getting D3D unrecognised formats and some Shader debugging from Wine, and then the Cryptic error launcher thing.
For the record, a partial dump is at
I'll point out too, that last line is due to a typo in my .asoundrc, which shows whenever a new app is starting. I haven't fixed the typo, as it gives a good indicator of when wine is spawning new processes
The D3D unrecognised format errors and Shader stuff all come basically before the Cryptic logo shows up, so I don't think they're the cause either.
Also, running "GameClient.exe" in Cryptic Studios/Star Trek Online/Live/ gives the console output, same as adding the "-console" option in Options. Just a quicker way to test things, without having to log in. Don't know if the whole "not logging in" may add to the troubles though.
Scrolled through the console log, saw some errors about PhysX.dll missing, so I installed PhysX via winetricks, now it's giving an "error" that CUDA support isn't found. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I doubt CUDA is a "requirement".

A Stay-At-Home Dad Wonders Why He Gets the Hairy Eyeball on Playgrounds: "Of course, I'm a potential predator simply because I'm a guy. It must be inconceivable for a man to comfort his own child, so the obvious conclusion is I'm attempting to abduct a kid in broad daylight and pick up some half-price noodles and toothpaste at the same time. Slightly less offensive is the notion a woman can be automatically granted a free pass." (Today.com)

Indoor Mold Poses Key Asthma Risk for Babies: When infants are exposed to mold in thed home, their risk for developing asthma more than doubles, according to a study published Tuesday in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. The study doesn't prove mold causes asthma, but it does suggest that exposure to mold during infancy is linked to the development of chronic inflammation of the lung airways, which causes wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

Now he's smooth again. Slick again. Brad again. But we digress ... the point is, he shaved!
PEOPLE reports that "Pitt shaved it all off to play Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane in the flick ['Moneyball'], which also stars Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright."
When he tamed the scraggle to scruff in June, Us Magazine clarified that although many postulated the beard was for a role, it wasn't the case -- "It's boredom. No other reason than that," Pitt said.
After the jump, see the evolution of Brad's face in the last year.

Brad is the number one always in any form. I love him 100% no matter what he looks like because he is beautiful from the inside. My heart goes out to Jennifer Anniston. There is not and will never be another Brad Pitt. In this case it is not better to have loved and lost than to ever loved at all. Angelina is a very lucky woman. I hope that she is smart enough to cherish the man that she has and not take his love for granted. He is one of a kind.

Latest Heterodontosaurus Stories
Scientists have unveiled new details about a fanged dinosaur with a parrot-shaped beak known as Pegomastax africanus.
The skull of a young dinosaur that lived 190 million years ago is revealing new clues as to how some carnivorous dinosaurs evolved into plant eaters.
Latest Heterodontosaurus Reference Libraries
Heterodontosaurus, meaning "different toothed lizard", is a genus of dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period of what is now South Africa. The type species, H. tucki, was found in the Upper Elliot Formation of the Hettangian age (199 to 196 million years ago). Two species are known. This herbivorous dinosaur ate mostly plants despite having canines. It was a small ornithischian reaching a total length of 3 feet. It had a long, narrow pelvic bone which was like more advanced ornithischians....

ADHD Alternative Treatment
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a widespread childhood disorder that has received a great deal of focus in recent years. According to estimates, nearly 10 of all children and 4 percent of adults are affected with ADHD.
Symptoms of this frequently-occurring disorder include hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsivity; these symptoms often lead to difficulties performing in work or school, and they may also increase the risk of accidents. Individuals with ADHD also have an increased likelihood of experiencing emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety.
Typically, adults with ADHD are unaware that they have this disorder-they often just feel that it's impossible to get organized, to stick to a job, to keep an appointment. The everyday tasks of getting up, getting dressed and ready for the day's work, getting to work on time, and being productive on the job can be major challenges for the ADHD adult. ADHD alternative treatment consist of treating the underlying cause of the disorder not just masking the symptoms with medication.
Diagnosing the causes of ADHD
Causes of ADHD
The Role of Neurotransmitters in Attention Deficit Disorder
There is some evidence that people with ADHD do not produce adequate quantities of certain neurotransmitters, among them dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Some experts theorize that such deficiencies lead to self-stimulatory behaviors that can increase brain levels of these chemicals (Comings DE et al 2000; Mitsis EM et al 2000; Sunohara GA et al 2000).
Find out more about the Neurotransmitter tests for Attention Deficit Disorder that are available!
The development of the dopamine system prior to and during early adolescence is quite rapid, while the development of the serotonin system during this same time remains steady. A relative deficit in dopamine maturity would be concordant with an increased impulsivity and increased reward threshold seen in ADHD.
A delayed rate of brain development in ADHD is also supported by studies that find patients have increased level of delta and theta brain wave activity compared to controls. Delta and theta brain wave activity normally decreases until adulthood. As such, increased delta and theta wave brain activity can be an indicator of slowed brain maturity. Differences in the rate of serotonin and dopamine system development also may explain why significant numbers of children outgrow their ADHD symptoms.
The noradrenergic system is most active when an individual is awake, which is important for focused attention. Elevated norepinephrine activity seems to be a contributor to anxiousness. Also, brain norepinephrine turnover is increased in conditions of stress. Interestingly, benzodiazepines, the primary anxiolytic drugs, decrease firing of norepinephrine neurons.
Aspects of the interaction between serotonin and dopamine are believed to affect attention. Evidence of this interaction is present in the observation that reduced serotonin synthesis impairs the positive effects of methylphenidate on learning. Meaning some aspects of methylphenidate's therapeutic effects require serotonin. Serotonin levels are significantly affected by stress and coping abilities combined with other environmental factors and the person's genetic make-up to determine serotonin activity.
Brain Structural Differences in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
There may also be some structural and functional abnormalities in the brain itself in children who have ADHD (Pliszka SR 2002; Mercugliano M 1999). Evidence suggests that there may be fewer connections between nerve cells. This would further impair neural communication already impeded by decreased neurotransmitter levels (Barkley R 1997). Evidence from functional studies in patients with ADHD demonstrates decreased blood flow to those areas of the brain in which "executive function," including impulse control, is based (Paule MG et al 2000). There may also be a deficit in the amount of myelin (insulating material) produced by brain cells in children with ADHD (Overmeyer S et al 2001).
Some prenatal factors that increase the risk of developing ADHD have been identified. These include complications during pregnancy that limit oxygen supply to the brain such as toxemia and eclampsia. Other factors during pregnancy that have an impact on normal prenatal development and increase the risk of a child developing ADHD include smoking and fetal alcohol syndrome.
Other factors, such as stress, significantly affect the way the brain functions. If the temperament of the individual under stress allows them to cope in a positive manner, stress can actually increase performance and health. If however, the temperament of the individual under stress is such that the individual does not cope with the stress, the adaptive changes that allow the body to enhance its performance and stress may fail to function. This may lead to either an inability of the body to compensate or the inactivation of some neurological systems. Alternatively, neurological systems may become chronically elevated. In either case, the altered functions of these regions may underlie clinical symptoms.
Researchers continue to study the genetic contribution to ADHD and to identify the genes that cause a person to be susceptible to ADHD. Since its inception in 1999, the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Molecular Genetics Network has served as a way for researchers to share findings regarding possible genetic influences on ADHD.8
Environmental Agents.
Studies have shown a possible correlation between the use of cigarettes and alcohol during pregnancy and risk for ADHD in the offspring of that pregnancy. As a precaution, it is best during pregnancy to refrain from both cigarette and alcohol use.
Another environmental agent that may be associated with a higher risk of ADHD is high levels of lead in the bodies of young preschool children. Since lead is no longer allowed in paint and is usually found only in older buildings, exposure to toxic levels is not as prevalent as it once was. Children who live in old buildings in which lead still exists in the plumbing or in lead paint that has been painted over may be at risk.
Brain Injury.
Attention Deficit Disorder Testing
ADD Nutritional Supplements
As previously mentioned, ADHD is most likely caused by multiple factors, including nutritional issues. Children and adults with ADHD may have specific nutrient deficiencies that aggravate their condition.
Dopamine Supplements contain the building blocks needed for the brain to produce more Dopamine.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential components of brain cell membranes, including those of neurotransmitter receptors. Omega-3 fatty acids also alter signal transduction and electrical activity in brain cells and control the synthesis of chemicals such as eicosanoids and cytokines, which may have a direct effect on mood and behavior. Evidence supporting the role of fatty acid imbalances in the pathology of ADD/ADHD:
Research consistently finds people with ADD/ADHD have lower levels of essential fatty acids than controls. A large proportion of people with ADD/ADHD display essential fatty acid deficiency symptoms (e.g. excessive thirst, frequent urination, vision impairment, dry skin and hair, learning difficulties.)
Magnesium and vitamin B6. Combining magnesium and vitamin B6 has shown promise for reducing symptoms of ADHD. Vitamin B6 has many functions in the body, including assisting in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and forming myelin, which protect nerves. Magnesium is also very important; it is involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions. At least three studies have demonstrated that the combination of magnesium and vitamin B6 improved behavior, decreased anxiety and aggression, and improved mobility among children with ADHD (Nogovitsina OR et al 2006a,b; Nogovitsina OR et al 2005; Mousain-Bosc M et al 2004).
Zinc. Zinc is a cofactor for production of neurotransmitters, fatty acids, prostaglandins, and melatonin, and it indirectly affects metabolism of dopamine and fatty acids. Numerous studies have shown that children with ADHD are often deficient in zinc.
Acetyl-L-carnitine. This superior form of L-carnitine, which is responsible for transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, has been associated with a host of positive health benefits, including reducing impulsivity. In an animal model of ADHD, acetyl-L-carnitine was shown to reduce the impulsivity index (Adriani W et al 2004).
Additional Nutrients and Hormones
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA is an important neuroactive steroid hormone that may be involved in ADHD, although researchers are still trying to understand the relationship. ADHD is associated with low blood levels of DHEA, its principal precursor pregnenolone, and its principal metabolite dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S). Higher blood levels of these neurosteroids are associated with fewer symptoms (Strous RD et al 2001). Furthermore, a study of adolescent boys with ADHD showed that DHEA levels rise after a 3-month course of methylphenidate treatment, which implies that DHEA somehow plays a role in the drug's effectiveness (Maayan R et al 2003).
Ginkgo biloba and ginseng. A combination of these two herbs has been studied for its ability to improve symptoms among patients with ADHD. In a study of 36 children ranging in age from 3 to 17 years old, a combination of Ginkgo biloba and American ginseng was administered twice a day on an empty stomach for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, more than 70 percent of patients had experienced improvement on a widely used measure of ADHD symptoms (Lyon MR et al 2001).

Should a bride who has been living with her fiance for a while still get a bridal shower, or is it tacky because she clearly has the essentials for living with her soon to be husband? Does it matter how long the couple has been cohabitating? What if this particular couple already has children?
Bridal shower for a couple that lives together?
You do not have to buy them anything.
The point of the party (these days) is to celebrate the upcoming marriage.
Not allowing the party says "I disagree with your choices so screw you"
So the real question is... Are you sitting judgement?

I've never heard of not getting one if you're living together. I've been to at least 12 bridal showers and all the couples were living together. I had one and I already owned a home with my husband.
What if this particular couple already has children?
? Do babies come with crockpots and Calphalon cookware? How is that a factor?

I think they should get the bridal shower. To me it is something your family and bridesmaids throw to celebrate your upcoming wedding. I really don't see it any different if there is a couple who are not living together but have been living on their own for a while. They still have lots of their own things.

Since when is it appropriate to sit around and decide which people are deserving of celebrations and which are not? Every bride deserves a bridal shower, regardless of her living arrangements or her financial situation. It is an event to celebrate a marriage. If you don't approve, don't go.
I wish they had showers just for being awesome. I could really use a new vacuum and cute dishes.

To make it real and concrete, I decided to write down each of these five jewelry making goals on a sticky note and post it above my desk so that I have a reminder (or two or three or five) when I feel stuck. And I'm sharing them here with you, too!
1. Keep a better beading journal. I have to admit, when I look at the number of pieces I actually completed in 2013, it was pretty pitiful. For 2014, I'm going to keep a better journal of my jewelry making projects, both beaded and even the ones that fall under the categories of stringing, wire, and mixed media jewelry, so that I have a better idea of what I'm actually working on throughout the year.
Jewelry-making Goal #2: Experiment with sculptural bead embroidery techniques
2. Experiment more with my bead embroidery techniques. Some of you remember that a couple of years ago, I created an enormous and intricate collar for the Battle of the Beadsmith that featured shapes made with a combination of sculptural peyote stitch and bead embroidery. Since then, I have filled an entire sketchbook with ideas for new beaded jewelry patterns using this technique -- but haven't actually gotten around to beading any of them yet! This will be the year that I stop sketching and start beading on some of these designs, to see what works and what doesn't with this technique.
3. Learn more about resin. I started playing with resin two years ago, and even though some of my first experiments were, well, less than successful, I've grown to love the technique of filling a little bezel with colorful resin and inclusions. Seeing the work of Susan Lenart Kazmer has inspired me even more to create my own resin focal pieces that I can enhance with beaded ropes or beaded chains.
4. Use up what I have in my stash. I don't think I'd be a proper beader if I didn't at least include this -- does it sound familiar? "I will not buy any more beads in [insert year here] until I use up what I already have in my bead stash." Well, this year, I have to try to stick to it. I've been hoarding, I mean, collecting seed beads for over 13 years. I most likely have every color that I could possibly need for any project that I could possibly want to make -- right?
Jewelry-making goal #3: Perfect my resin techniques
5. Make time to bead, every day. Now that you've stopped laughing after reading my last jewelry making goal for 2014 (you have stopped laughing, haven't you?), I've got one final goal to share. Believe it or not, there are some days that I don't get to my bead mat, between juggling deadlines and shuttling kids to and from play dates, my beads often get set aside. But this year, I'm setting my alarm a half hour earlier every morning and spending that time working on whatever is on my bead mat. (Because you know there's always something on my beading mat!)
So, let's get our jewelry-making goals written down. Leave a comment here on the Beading Daily blog and share your jewelry-making goals for 2014 with us!
Bead Happy,
I agree with either beading every day or practising a new technique every day, but, as bead sellers, we disagree with using up your stash - you should be buying more beads! Our main jewellery-making goals for this year are to expand our offerings by searching for the newest and most unusual semi-precious stones, and finding ways to use them.
For example, titanium-plated semi-precious stones are hard to find and just starting to come onto the market. They make really eye-catching jewellery, so we want to play around with using these.
As I was organizing my bead cabinet the other day, I decided to count how many projects needed finishing or fixing. I am embarrassed to say that there were 75 little plastic bags of projects in varying stages of completion! The problem with this is that not only are there numerous 95% completed projects that I can't wear yet, there are also a number of tubes and strings of beads included with each project that aren't available for other new and exciting projects! So, now that I've gotten that off my chest, my single jewelry making goal for 2014 is to finish or pull the plug on all of those old projects, thus freeing up beads for new projects and clearing my mind for wonderful new projects!
Just remember to change the year and you can reuse this column next January. Teasing of course.
My goals. Not spend as much time on the computer. Try to do at least one project a month in some craft.
Use my stash and do not buy any craft stuff in 2014.
More wire wrapping! I have a stash of silver wire that I've had and added to for years! Now it's time to start the wrap!
Well, I won't add use up my bead stash to my goals for 2014 - there just aren't enough hours in each day or days in the year to ever do that. And I won't stop buying interesting beads, either. I always buy within a very limited price range but it's amazing what you can find.
One of my major goals (again) this year is to work on photographing and pricing my collection properly and getting it onto my web site.
Another is going to be a lot more fun. Over the past few years I've added some beautiful large beads made of polished stone such as jasper to my stash so I want to work more of these into my designs. Since I work primarily with seed beads, this will be a very interesting challenge.
Me too! I simply MUST use up my huge stash -- but don't worry beadstampede, we'll always need more to pull things together. My #1 goal is to learn to take good photos so I can at least post on Facebook for people who keep asking me, "So what is it that you DO?"
I'm still working on my last year wish to finish all my UFO's. But it is so difficult if you see all these new patterns, colours and shapes you just have to try.
I truly identify with the "almost finished" syndrome....in all the crafts I enjoy!
So my resolution is to finish at least one and hopefully two projects that have already been started each month this year. I plan to schedule time for that twice a week and to hold hostage time for other fun things until I have at least worked on the finishing. Or schedule an entire day just for finishing. I did that one time for "fix-its" and was really impressed with what I got done!
I also want to track what I do with a journal, inventory and pictures so I may be on the computer more. But then I won't lose track of those projects that wind up in the "almost finished" bin.
I haven't stop laughing yet... Using up sll my beads... Not buy anything new.... Finishing the unfinished... My God... And the best comment... Just change the year and you can reuse it... Well, I am laughing because I couldnt agre more than with "who are we kidding"? And ladies, I am no different . Love this.. love this world of beads...
Re your #4 - I told my husband I wouldn't start any other techniques, thus no new products except what was necessary to finish things I had already started...lol....I laught in both of our general directions!
Hmmmmmmmmm..... Great article! And great comments. How about THIS one? Put away the beads and beadie goodies I purchased in 2013! As in put them away in the places they belong, rather than in two huge wooden decoupaged chests I made for that purpose. HA
#4 and #5 are wish lists for me. I'm working full time, taking classes to finish my Biz degree this December. So, time to bead is almost non-existent except on custom orders. hahaha. www.sparklebymonica.com
Sometimes when I look at the old UFOs I think they are not worthy of my time, and I prefer to use the new stuff that is speaking to me!
I do need to use up what I have in my bead collection, but it always seems that when I want to begin a new project I'm missing a key element or color of seed bead. Sigh. Anyway, now my goal is to be creative and find another way or color to fit into the design. Maybe, I'll discover something really cool to make. Here's hoping.

Graduates Hear Strong Message of Family Support
MAY 19, 2008 --Friends and family all across the world watched online at home and at the Robert P. Knowles Recreation Center as almost 700 undergraduate and graduate students walked across the stage to confer their degrees from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls May 17.
Some 611 undergraduates and 72 graduate students were welcomed at two ceremonies by Chancellor Don Betz and congratulated by David Rainville, faculty senate chair and professor of chemistry and Derek Brandt, student senate president and graduating senior with a history major from St. Paul.
"The people who came to see you today- they are your lifeline your support system, those who encouraged you," said Chancellor Betz during his welcome speech. "Today in this moment they are all gathered here at one place in one time in a historic moment - to the families who are here today, we honor what you do, we honor the sacrifices you make."
Brandt congratulated the graduates and recognized the parents for their role in making this all possible. "I'd like to thank the parents in the audience today," he said. "Without your help many of us in the audience including myself, would probably not have been able to make it today. Your hardship and sacrifice were essential; we needed it."
Travis Tubré, a professor of psychology who received the 2008 Distinguished Teacher Award, the highest teaching award conferred at UWRF (photo, left, with Provost Connie Foster, left). Tubré thanked many people who contributing to his success as a teacher, adviser, mentor, and consultant. He mentioned that the love and support he receives at home with his family is instrumental in pursuing his other love, teaching students.
Special recognition was given to David Swensen (below), a 1996 Distinguished Alumnus. Swensen was conferred an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters for the impact that his expertise in economics and finances have had upon the world.
To the graduates, Swensen, who grew up in River Falls, reminisced about his family's long history and close bonds with the university; his father was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and his mother and other family members graduated from UWRF. "River Falls holds a very special place in my heart," he said. "It's where I fell in love with education."
Swensen holds a Ph.D. in economics from Yale University, where he has spent the last 25 years working as its chief endowment officer. As a investment advisory board member of Cambridge University in England who recently visited the 800-year old institution, Swensen closed his remarks with a story of the three gates at Cambridge: named for honor, humility and virtue. "My advice to you is that leave UWRF with honor, enter the next phase of your live with humility, and attempt to live with virtue."
During the afternoon ceremony, Rep. Kitty Rhoades (R-Hudson, left) addressed the graduates as the keynote speaker. Rhoades is serving her fifth term in the Wisconsin Legislature and holds a bachelor's degree in secondary education from UWRF and a master's degree from Illinois State University. She opened her speech with reminiscence about her relatives who started at the River Falls Normal School. "This campus has played a major role not only in our communities, but in my family as well. My great aunt Kate was one of the first of the family to come here, followed by many others."
Rhoades urged the graduates to apply the International Rotary association's four-way ethics test to life's challenges: Is it truth? Is it fair? Is it beneficial to all? And will it build goodwill and friendship? She spoke of preparing her own son to face life's ethical challenges by having him ask those questions.
"You are now facing the knowledge era," she said. "We know we will never be able to teach you the answers that you will need to know because we don't even know the questions that you will be asked. We know that we have given you--as parents and educators--the tools that you need to be able to ask those questions, come up with the right answers, and shape the future that benefits us all."
Candidates for degrees were presented by Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Connie Foster, and Dale Gallenberg, dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, Barbara Nemecek, dean of the College of Business and Economics, and Doug Johnson, director of graduate studies at the morning ceremony; At the afternoon ceremony the candidates were presented for their degrees by by Terry Brown, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Faye J. Perkins, dean of the College of Education and Professional Studies. George Hansen, who is assistant director of admissions at UWRF and who holds a B.S (1972) and an M.A. (1979) from UWRF, welcomed each set of graduates into the UWRF Alumni Association.
The students will have their degrees officially conferred in August.

This article describes visual clues to pick up on unsafe three-sided chimneys. Our sketch of a three-sided chimney is courtesy Carson Dunlop Associates.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Three-Sided Chimney Fire Hazards
A three-sided or "three walled chimney" is one which does not provide full masonry thickness or fire protection around all sides of the chimney flue.
As Carson Dunlop's sketch shows, a 3-sided chimney may be constructed when a chimney is added to a building as a retrofit project.
An amateur worker may place the chimney flue tiles right against the building exterior wall, covering only the flue's exposed surfaces with brickwork.
Three sided chimneys can be a very serious fire risk because the chimney has been built close to or even directly against combustible building materials without the necessary fire clearance and masonry fire protection needed.
Chimney Location, Draft & Performance
As Carson Dunlop's sketch shows, a warm chimney works best at developing good draft which in turn helps assure that the appliances or fireplaces being vented by the chimney will perform properly.
Construction of the chimney running through the interior of a home was originally done to get the most heat out of the chimney in cold weather.
Even though it is easier to build the chimney on the outside wall of a building, a central chimney provided heat through its masonry to the building interior on all floors.
Draft: Thermal Performance of Chimneys
A chimney's thermal performance provides the "draft" by maintaining a warm interior lining. The draft is the pressure difference between ambient air and the less dense flue gases within the chimney. The lighter gases are buoyant and rise to be displaced by heavier ambient air.
The chimney must contain the hot gases and protect the surrounding materials against combustion. Residential masonry chimneys must protect the building while under exposure to 1000oF continuous flue gas temperature although most gas appliances operate with a flue gas temperature of about 300oF and oil burners with a flue gas temperature of about 500oF.
See DRAFT REGULATORS - barometric dampers and DRAFT HOOD, GAS HEATER for details about draft, how it works, how it is measured, why it is important for safe appliance operation.

Website of the day: Water.org
The ice bucket challenge. What a thing. There's no way you could've missed it, unless you've been on Pluto for the past month, and it's showing no signs of going anywhere soon.
It's possibly the most successful online charity activity we've ever seen, with millions of people, including countless celebrities, dumping buckets of iced water over their heads for the sake of good causes. The original intended beneficiary was amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or motor neurone disease, but it's reckoned that nearly half of all the people taking part in the challenge have missed that point, or chosen not to donate.
That's not the end of the world, because millions of dollars have poured (pun intended) into charity coffers. But, many people have been concerned about all that clean water being poured away for no good reason.
So Matt Damon's ice bucket challenge, which surfaced last week, was a timely reminder that you could take the challenge in a way that doesn't waste clean water, and also highlighted water.org. This is a charity he co-founded that's working towards securing clean water supplies for everybody on the planet. With over 800 million people not having access to clean water, the gallons being thrown around in your Facebook timelines might start to seem wasteful.
But you can help here, and try to remember what the original challenge was for, if you are taking part.

Glenn Beck Meets with Billy Graham
Conservative radio and television host Glenn Beck met with evangelist Billy Graham last week, Beck said on his show.
"Just spent 3 amazing hours with Billy Graham at his mountain top home in SC. His son Franklin joined my wife and me for a talk and prayer," Beck tweeted on February 19. "I will share some of my visit with Billy Graham on radio Monday. Side note: I expect tweet hate for me, I cannot understand BG hatred. Sad," he said in a separate update.
A spokesperson for Graham said in an e-mail that it was a private, personal meeting (not an interview) arranged by a family member. Graham lives in North Carolina.
Beck is a Mormon and has received mixed reactions among some evangelicals. James Dobson, Richard Land, Jerry Falwell Jr., and other evangelicals followed Glenn Beck's call for national renewal in August 2010. Some, however, expressed concern about his Mormon faith while others disagreed with his call to "leave your church" if it promotes social justice.
Beck had wanted to meet with Graham before his "Restoring Honor" rally, a round-up on his website states.
According to Glenn, Billy Graham was probably the only other person who had tried to do something on the scale of what Glenn was hoping to accomplish. However, according to Glenn Rev. Graham and his team did not feel that "the time was right."
"Two weeks ago as I have been struggling with some ideas and some things that I am working on for the future and I am trying to get clarity again, I thought of Billy Graham. When the phone range and they said the Reverend feels it's time to meet, I met with him. We had an hour scheduled. It lasted three hours," Glenn said.
"He is a very clear individual. He's slowed down quite a bit," Beck said on the site. "But he is of sound mind and a man of great peace."
Beck gave his impressions saying, "These are not his views but mine."
"My message to you is we must come together. Evil has – the left has stood – is standing now with profound and clear evil and they've connected from evil all the way to the average Democrat and everything in between."
"And we are sitting here arguing with each other over, well, how do you mean that exactly? Well, what exactly do you believe in religion, et cetera, et cetera? While none of us can sacrifice what we believe as an individual, we must stand together with those who believe in God and that God endows each individual with the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Graham, who is 92 and has trouble hearing and seeing, makes rare public appearances and does few interviews. A few weeks ago, Christianity Todayposted an interview where Graham suggested he wishes he had stayed out of politics.
In other Mormon-evangelical relations, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) announced it will hold its next board meeting in Park City and Salt Lake City on March 10. The NAE leaders will meet with Utah Gov. Gary Herbert at the governor's mansion and will also meet a leader from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).
"We hope this time of dialogue with LDS leaders will deepen our understanding of the Mormon faith and contribute to the ongoing work of evangelicals in Utah," said Leith Anderson, president of NAE. "For the sake of Christ and his kingdom, we seek to represent biblical evangelicalism to those who wouldn't hear or know. We also look for common ground on issues where we can work together."

The move, one that has been speculated for quite some time now, was confirmed by the New York Post (Source) and various members of the NHL media (Source). Hockey is officially coming to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This article will be updated as more information is released. Update 12:20pm Central - At the official press conference, Islanders owner Charles Wang states the contract for the Islanders to play in the Barclays Center is for 25 years. Update 10:21am Central - The team will reportedly retain their name "The New York Islanders" at the insistence of the NHL. (Source) ***** The Islanders' move comes as their lease expires at their current place of residence, the Nassau Coliseum, in 2015. The move, while often speculated, seemed to have plenty of question marks. Would Barclays, an arena not built specifically for hockey, be able to accommodate the game? Would the small capacity inf...

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits John Arne's Riise's own goal in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal against Chelsea was decisive.
"It is a big difference to come here with a 1-0 lead instead of 1-1," said Benitez. "Chelsea are a good team and in the first half they were really good. There are two good teams in the final.
"When we scored I was really pleased and thought we could progress. Now I need to think about the future. I am proud of my team.
"We worked really hard until the end and the team kept going. I thought we deserved more, especially in the first game.
"The third goal almost killed the game. We had good chances and team was strong enough mentally and physically. We just ran out of time."

Day 8 Ross River. why is this town here?
372 miles 100(?) of gravel
What a sh#t bag place full of strange people.
Leaving my favorite camp. The Yukon River Hostel. Just across the Yukon from Dawson City. A shared room is $21 and I had it to myself the first night. Since it was raining on the Dempster, I rode to Chicken and back so I stayed a second night. After getting beat down by the Dempster the next couple days I came back because I wanted to sit in the wood fired sauna. I liked this place.
Before I left for good how ever I rode down the river bank a couple KM's and checked out the Stern Wheeler Graveyard.
There are at least 5 ships on the bank and slowly falling apart.
After that, cross the river one last time and head for the Campbell Hwy.
Pelly Crossing, YT
5 Finger Rapids
There are convoys of identical RV's headed North. I am so glad I'm headed South
Faro. The best kept secret???
Faro is near Ghost Town status. The only gas station burned down 3 years ago. You need to gas up in Ross River. The grocery store is boarded up. There are adandoned houses and apartments all over town. The only thing that I didn't see was Zombies walking the streets saying "Braiiiins"
This is one of the motels. There are people still living in the town still working at the mine. But most of the town looks really bad.
Ross River Yukon College. I post this because my son is mad he didn't get into the UW. Instead he's headed to WWU in the fall. Hey son. It could be a lot worse.
Camping at the "City Park"
Kind of creepy and probably nothing but...
I drive into town looking for an open gas station and instead find a British guy-Trevor- out of Calgary camping in his van. A nice guy, he is doing sales calls all over the West and North trying to sell an invention he's involved with that turns methane or natural gas into 150 octane Gasoline. There is a lot of nat gas up here but few refineries so all gasoline gets trucked in. Every village could set up their own plants.
is his company website. While I set up my tent, several natives cruise by and look us over then leave. Next thing I know, Trevor is driving away. WTF??? Did he get wind of something bad???
All that night, every few minutes a local would drive down to the river where I was parked, check me out and slowly drive away. Now I understand it was probably a slow news day here but somebody could have stopped to say hi. Nada. So all night I sleep with 1 eye open waiting...
The Pelly River pedestrian bridge. This used to carry the CanOl pipeline now is the footpath over the Pelly when the Ferry isn't running. Like now : (
If it's on the Pelly, why is this town called Ross River?
The Pelly Barge. Closed until June 3. So much for riding the North CanOl.
So I'm parked by the pumps at the Ross River gas and grub waiting for it to open so I can get the heck out of this town. Sitting on a milk crate by the loading dock enjoying the sunshine and a good cigar after a lousy breakfast. Numerous locals-all natives-walk past and ignore me. Finally after an hour I stop a native and ask when this place opens. "Normally 9, but today is a Holiday so it's closed". These FF were going to let me sit.
There's a new Card Lock gas tank across the street so over there and refuel and scoot for the CanOl

Create and Plot Data
Create the data.
A = 1000; a = 0.005; b = 0.005; t = 0:900; z1 = A*exp(-a*t); z2 = sin(b*t);
plotyy to create a graph with two y-axes. Plot
z1 versus
t using semilogarithmic scaling. Plot
z2 versus
t using linear scaling. Return the two axes in array
ax, and return the two lines as
p1 and
[ax,p1,p2] = plotyy(t,z1,t,z2,'semilogy','plot');
The left y-axis corresponds to the first set of data plotted, which is the semilogarithmic plot for
z1. The first axes,
ax(1), and the line,
p1, correspond to the first set of data.
The right y-axis corresponds to the second set of data plotted, which is the line plot for
z2. The second axes,
ax(2), and the line,
p2, correspond to the second set of data.
Label the Axes
Label the left y-axis by passing the first axes to the
ylabel function. Then, label the right y-axis by passing the second axes to the
ylabel function. Label the x-axis using either axes.

Paralympics refocuses on future without Pistorius
nepal As Oscar Pistorius offered his first defense against a murder charge, the head of the Paralympics was trying to reassure members Tuesday that the organization has a strong future even without its star athlete.
International Paralympic Committee President Philip Craven told The Associated Press he has been in a state of "shock and disbelief" since Pistorius was arrested Thursday in the shooting of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
Having been central to plans to maintain the momentum from the record-breaking Paralympics last year, Pistorius has now been forced to pull out of all future races.
The South African helped to generate unprecedented interest in disability sports by becoming the first double amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics. Now Craven is acting quickly to ensure the Paralympics' progress is not damaged by the fallout from Pistorius' high-profile case.
"We've got so many stars coming through that this will not be an issue," Craven said.
"Even since this tragedy happened, it's still been `London, London, London' and what happened there - a unique moment in times that still continues in the hearts and minds of people."
And in a letter to IPC members on Tuesday, Craven sought to shift attention from the "difficult and traumatic day" regarding Pistorius to remind how the London Paralympics succeeded in creating "a whole host of young world-class, medal-winning athletes."
Craven pointed to British sprinter Jonnie Peacock, who deposed Pistorius as 100-meter champion at the Paralympics, and Alan Oliveira, who took the 200 title in front of a crowd of some 80,000 in the London Olympic Stadium.
"It's upon their shoulders that the Paralympic movement will be moving forward and it's still continuing to be the most exciting times after London," Craven said by phone from the IPC winter sports championships in Spain.
Craven has experienced a "roller-coaster of emotion" since he was awakened Thursday with the news of the killing. Pistorius said at a bail hearing Tuesday that he mistook his girlfriend for a robber and the shooting was an accident, not premeditated murder.
"Shock and disbelief," Craven recalled of his initial thoughts. "I could not believe what I was hearing ... because of this total difference between Oscar, the person I knew - I won't say very well but I had interacted with him on many occasions in press conferences etc. and seen him compete - and the Oscar we were hearing about now in the media and with what happened."
Craven said he had not witnessed any change in Pistorius' mindset at the Paralympics even when the runner created a storm by suggesting rival Oliveira was gaining an unfair advantage by using lengthened blades.
"In the heat of competition - I remember when I was a wheelchair basketball player - the redness would come down particularly if I didn't agree with certain refereeing decisions, and I've seen it in other athletes," Craven said. "I think it's something that happens all the time in athletic competitions.
He said the dispute about the blades didn't bother him, and "didn't make me think there was anything different in London (with Pistorius) to what there had been before."

Dwarf citrus trees are well-suited to our climate
The evergreen plant grows canelike pseudo-bulbs about 12 inches to 24 inches tall, with thick oblong to oval leaves alternating on the upper third of the canes. Flower spikes sprout from the uppermost leaf joints bearing up to a dozen or more flowers in white, pink, red, lavender or purple, sometimes in combination. The exquisite flowers (which resemble a smaller version of the Phalaenopsis butterfly orchid) last at least a month, if not longer.
They need good bright light, but protected from direct sunlight. Even though the dendrobium is a warm grower and prefers a greenhouse environment or a sheltered spot, it can also be grown indoors with ideal temperatures of 55 to 60 degrees at night and 65 to 75 degrees during the day, with adequate air movement. Keep the growing medium moist at all times, but also make sure the plant is never sitting in water, as this will cause root rot.

Hello... Mr. Perry. I just want to start by saying that I totally love everything you do! And for Madea the rough tuff crash yet kind hearted--she's saved me lots of times too. I appreciate your perspective and the way you described that it's ok "not to be seen" yet! That entire piece you speak of is something that I am just now learning. I'll have to admit it's been and still is very dark and I really thought and still get a little worried that God has forgotten me. I've never been or ever will be perfect and don't want to be....but I am worried that maybe I have or am still doing something very wrong. Please and forgive me, it's not for pity, it's that I am so lost and have never felt this way in my life before. I guess I'm scared and don't really know where and what to do. But I am searching and waiting as patient as I can. I love Mr. Deeds and wish everyone could be like that. Just a little goes a long way. My fault is I get taken and hurt lots of times because I just want everyone to be "better" and "happy". Well sorry for the ramble. I just felt this very strong need to speak with you...as I do many others like yourself, and like me! I really do care, but right now I just can't get it together to crawl out of my dark place and help. I am really worried about this, I have lot's of plans that I am not fulfilling. So I guess it's alright not to be seen just yet! Your statement made me feel much better about others and myself. Praise the Lord't' as Madea says... please let the Lord't' bless us all as well! Well your web site is beautiful with you and Oprah--I love her too! Well take care and thank you for sharing your heart, you are a great person! Love you very much you know as brothers and sisters--in as one "Big Happy Family".... like US, the entire world should do! Sincerely, Cynthia TerranovaReply

Thank you so much for your insight. I have been chasing my dream to become an actress and more for many years. Sometimes I become frustrated with not being recognized for what I have to offer. However, God reminds me that He isn't finished yet, one of those ways of reminding me was directing me to this video. Thank you and God Bless!Reply

Hi Daragh and welcome!
Not only is there an Irish corner here.. but there's a Cork corner in the Irish corner!
We're due an outing sometime soon, and even if we haven't decided on a destination, hopefully you'll be able to join us.
If you saw a man drowning and you could either save him or photograph the event...what kind of film would you use?

Dear John and Beverly,
Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend in your beautiful cabin. The sunsets got more & more spectacular every day & I thoroughly enjoyed just swinging in the porch swing & relaxing in the amazing hot tub. Thank you for allowing me to share your home – it was just what the doctor ordered.
Abigail Peoples
Arrived for 5 days at Graywolf last week. It was so quiet & peaceful. The bed was so comfortable I didn't want to get it out of it! The views were amazing. The only neighbor I saw was a doe that would trot down the road in front of the house! There were a lot of rockers & porch swings on both porches. My favorite was the Adirondak swing. There was a good sized fenced yard for my dog to check out. I love that I was able to close the gates and keep him on the deck with me. Beverly was wonderful & very helpful with directions & allowing us to check in early. I did not want to leave. Plan a day trip to pick up essentials as it's almost an hour to town. After that, just relax & enjoy the views!
We spent 3 wonderful days and nights in this secluded and very romantic cabin! We loved snuggling in front of the fireplace and the glorious sunrises and sunsets. The property was spotless and we had everything we needed. John and Beverly went all out to make us feel welcome in their rental!
Graywolf is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly appointed...from the spectacular views to the amenities of the cabin. It was beautifully decorated, but yet felt comfortable. Even if we thought we forgot something, this log home seemed to have everything we needed. We haven't relaxed this much on a vacation in a long time! The pictures really don't do the house justice. You just have to go see it for yourself!
I couldn't be happier with our decision to stay at Graywolf Cabin. The description of the house and the views doesn't do it justice! The house was immaculate and comfortable at the same time. The whole group loved it and didn't want to go. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and highly recommend it!!
This was the perfect place to come and get away from it all. We could just sit for hours on the porch and admire the gorgeous views. To be able to get away from the hustle and bustle and just relax for 5 days was great. Thanks John & Beverly for sharing this gem w/ us!!
Me and my new wife came up here for our honeymoon. It was definitely a great choice. We feel like we are right at home in this cozy cabin. The views are amazing from the front and back porch which both have swings on them. We go out almost everyday and enjoy all the attractions of the area and return in the evenings to relax by the fireplace and in the hot tub. We don't leave till tomorrow and we are already thinking about booking another trip to this cabin. Absolutely love this beautiful cabin John and Beverly have made available for us to enjoy.
At Graywolf you can visit Boone, Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy all the activities in the beautiful North Carolina highlands.
