Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence CB, DSO (16 August 1888 – 19 May 1935), known professionally as T. E. Lawrence, was a British soldier renowned especially for his liaison role during the Arab Revolt of 1916–18. His vivid writings, along with the extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, have made him the object of fascination throughout the world as "Lawrence of Arabia".
Lawrence's public image was due in part to American journalist Lowell Thomas's sensationalised reportage of the Revolt, as well as to Lawrence's autobiographical account, Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
Thomas Chapman and Sarah Lawrence had five illegitimate sons, of whom Thomas Edward was the second eldest. The family lived at 2 Polstead Road (now marked with a blue plaque) in Oxford, under the names of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence. Thomas Edward (known in the family as "Ned") attended the City of Oxford High School for Boys, where one of the four houses was later named "Lawrence" in his honour; the school closed in 1966. As a schoolboy, one of his favourite pastimes was to cycle to country churches and make brass rubbings. Lawrence and one of his brothers became commissioned officers in the Church Lads' Brigade at St Aldate's Church.
Lawrence claimed that in about 1905, he ran away from home and served for a few weeks as a boy soldier with the Royal Garrison Artillery at St Mawes Castle in Cornwall; he was bought out. No evidence of this can be found in army records.
From 1907 Lawrence was educated at Jesus College, Oxford. During the summers of 1907 and 1908, he toured France by bicycle, collecting photographs, drawings and measurements of castles dating from the mediaeval period. In the summer of 1909, he set out alone on a three-month walking tour of crusader castles in Syria, during which he travelled 1,000 miles on foot. Lawrence graduated with First Class Honours after submitting a thesis entitled The influence of the Crusades on European Military Architecture – to the end of the 12th century based on his own field research in France and the Middle East.
On completing his degree in 1910, Lawrence commenced postgraduate research in mediaeval pottery with a Senior Demy at Magdalen College, Oxford, which he abandoned after he was offered the opportunity to become a practising archaeologist in the Middle East. In December 1910 he sailed for Beirut, and on arrival went to Jbail (Byblos), where he studied Arabic. He then went to work on the excavations at Carchemish, near Jerablus in northern Syria, where he worked under D. G. Hogarth and R. Campbell-Thompson of the British Museum. He would later state that everything that he had accomplished, he owed to Hogarth. As the site lay close to the Turkish border, near an important crossing on the Baghdad Railway, knowledge gathered there was of considerable importance for military intelligence. While excavating ancient Mesopotamian sites, Lawrence met Gertrude Bell, who was to influence him during his time in the Middle East.
In late summer 1911, Lawrence returned to England for a brief sojourn. By November he was en route to Beirut for a second season at Carchemish, where he was to work with Leonard Woolley. Prior to resuming work there, however, he briefly worked with William Flinders Petrie at Kafr Ammar in Egypt.
Lawrence continued making trips to the Middle East as a field archaeologist until the outbreak of World War I. In January 1914, Woolley and Lawrence were co-opted by the British military as an archaeological smokescreen for a British military survey of the Negev Desert. They were funded by the Palestine Exploration Fund to search for an area referred to in the Bible as the "Wilderness of Zin"; along the way, they undertook an archaeological survey of the Negev Desert. The Negev was of strategic importance, as it would have to be crossed by any Ottoman army attacking Egypt in the event of war. Woolley and Lawrence subsequently published a report of the expedition's archaeological findings, but a more important result was an updated mapping of the area, with special attention to features of military relevance such as water sources. Lawrence also visited Aqaba and Petra.
From March to May 1914, Lawrence worked again at Carchemish. Following the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, on the advice of S. F. Newcombe, Lawrence did not immediately enlist in the British Army; He held back until October, when he was commissioned on the General List.
Even if Lawrence had not volunteered, the British would probably have recruited him for his first-hand knowledge of Syria, the Levant, and Mesopotamia. He was eventually posted to Cairo on the Intelligence Staff of the GOC Middle East.
Contrary to later myth, it was not Lawrence or the Army that conceptualised a campaign of internal insurgency against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East: it was the Arab Bureau of Britain's Foreign Office. The Arab Bureau had long felt it likely that a campaign instigated and financed by outside powers, supporting the breakaway-minded tribes and regional challengers to the Turkish government's centralised rule of their empire, would pay great dividends in the diversion of effort that would be needed to meet such a challenge. The Arab Bureau was the first to recognise what is today called the "asymmetry" of such conflict. The Ottoman authorities would have to devote a hundred or a thousand times the resources to contain the threat of such an internal rebellion, as would be the Allies' cost of sponsoring it.
At that point in the Foreign Office's thinking they were not considering the region as candidate territories for incorporation in the British Empire, but only as an extension of the range of British Imperial influence, and the weakening and destruction of a German ally, the Ottoman Empire.
During the war, Lawrence fought with Arab irregular troops under the command of Emir Faisal, a son of Sherif Hussein of Mecca, in extended guerrilla operations against the armed forces of the Ottoman Empire. Lawrence's major contribution to World War I was convincing Arab leaders to co-ordinate their revolt to aid British interests. He persuaded the Arabs not to drive the Ottomans out of Medina, thus forcing the Turkish army to tie up troops in the city garrison. The Arabs were then able to direct most of their attention to the Hejaz railway that supplied the garrison. This tied up more Ottoman troops, who were forced to protect the railway and repair the constant damage.
In 1917, Lawrence arranged a joint action with the Arab irregulars and forces under Auda Abu Tayi (until then in the employ of the Ottomans) against the strategically located port city of Aqaba. He was promoted to major in the same year. On 6 July, after an overland attack, Aqaba fell to Arab forces. The following year, Lawrence was involved in the capture of Damascus in the final weeks of the war and was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1918. In newly liberated Damascus – which he had envisioned as the capital of an Arab state – Lawrence was instrumental in establishing a provisional Arab government under Faisal. Faisal's rule as king, however, came to an abrupt end in 1920, after the battle of Maysaloun, when the French Forces of General Gouraud under the command of General Mariano Goybet, entered Damascus, breaking Lawrence's dream of an independent Arabia.
As was his habit when travelling before the war, Lawrence adopted many local customs and traditions (many photographs show him in the desert wearing white Arab garb and riding camels), and he soon became a confidant of Prince Faisal.
During the closing years of the war he sought, with mixed success, to convince his superiors in the British government that Arab independence was in their interests.
In 1918 he co-operated with war correspondent Lowell Thomas for a short period. During this time Thomas and his cameraman Harry Chase shot much film and many photographs, which Thomas used in a highly lucrative film that toured the world after the war.
Lawrence was made a Companion in the Order of the Bath and awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the French Légion d'Honneur, though in October 1918 he refused to be made a Knight Commander of the British Empire.
Immediately after the war, Lawrence worked for the Foreign Office, attending the Paris Peace Conference between January and May as a member of Faisal's delegation.
Lowell Thomas's film was seen by four million people in the post-war years, giving Lawrence great publicity. Until then, Lawrence had little influence, but soon newspapers began to report his opinions. Consequently he served for much of 1921 as an advisor to Winston Churchill at the Colonial Office.
Lawrence was ambivalent about Thomas's publicity, calling him a "vulgar man," though he saw Thomas's show several times. In August 1922, Lawrence enlisted in the Royal Air Force as an aircraftman under the name John Hume Ross. He was soon exposed and, in February 1923, was forced out of the RAF. He changed his name to T. E. Shaw and joined the Royal Tank Corps in 1923. He was unhappy there and repeatedly petitioned to rejoin the RAF, which finally admitted him in August 1925. A fresh burst of publicity after the publication of Revolt in the Desert (see below) resulted in his assignment to a remote base in British India in late 1926, where he remained until the end of 1928. At that time he was forced to return to the UK after rumours began to circulate that he was involved in espionage activities.
He purchased several small plots of land in Chingford, built a hut and swimming pool there, and visited frequently. This was removed in 1930 when the Chingford UDC acquired the land and passed it to the City of London Corporation , but re-erected in the grounds of the Warren, Loughton, where it remains, neglected, today. Lawrence's tenure of the Chingford land has now been commemorated by a plaque fixed on the sighting obelisk on Pole Hill.
He continued serving in the RAF, specialising in high-speed boats and professing happiness, and it was with considerable regret that he left the service at the end of his enlistment in March 1935.
Lawrence was a keen motorcyclist, and, at different times, had owned seven Brough Superior motorcycles. His seventh motorcycle is on display at the Imperial War Museum. Among the books Lawrence is known to have carried with him on his military campaigns is Thomas Malory's Morte D'Arthur; accounts of the 1934 discovery of the Winchester Manuscript of the Morte include a report that Lawrence followed Eugene Vinaver - a Malory scholar - by motorcycle from Manchester to Winchester upon reading of the discovery in The Times.
At age 46, a few weeks after leaving the service, Lawrence was fatally injured in a motorcycle accident while piloting a Brough Superior SS100 in Dorset, close to his cottage, Clouds Hill, near Wareham. The accident occurred because of a dip in the road that obstructed his view of two boys on their bicycles; he swerved to avoid them, lost control and was thrown over the handlebars of his motorcycle. He died six days later. The spot is marked by a small memorial at the side of the road but the road now is much improved on what it would have been like 70 years ago. The circumstances of Lawrence's death would have far reaching consequences, however. One of the doctors attending him was the neurosurgeon, Hugh Cairns. He was profoundly affected by the incident and consequently began a long study of what he saw as the unnecessary loss of life by motorcycle dispatch riders through head injuries and his research led to the use of crash helmets by both military and civilian motorcyclists. As a consequence of treating Lawrence, Sir Hugh Cairns ultimately saved the lives of many motorcyclists since.
Some sources mistakenly claim that Lawrence was buried in St Paul's Cathedral; in reality, only a bust of him was placed in the crypt. His final resting place is the Dorset village of Moreton. Moreton Estate, which borders Bovington Camp, was owned by family cousins, the Frampton family. Lawrence had rented and subsequently purchased Clouds Hill from the Framptons. He had been a frequent visitor to their home, Okers Wood House, and had for many years corresponded with Louisa Frampton.
On Lawrence's death, his mother wrote to the Framptons asking whether there was space for him in their family plot at Moreton Church. At his funeral there T. E. Lawrence's coffin was transported on the Frampton estate's bier; attendees included Winston and Clementine Churchill and Lawrence's youngest brother, Arnold. The famous stone effigy of Lawrence can be seen at the Saxon church in Wareham.
In his lifetime, Lawrence published four major texts. Two were translations: Homer's Odyssey, and The Forest Giant – the latter an otherwise forgotten work of French fiction. He received a flat fee for the second translation, and negotiated a generous fee plus royalties for the first.
Lawrence's major work is Seven Pillars of Wisdom, an account of his war experiences. In 1919 he had been elected to a seven-year research fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, providing him with support while he worked on the book. In addition to being a memoir of his experiences during the war, certain parts also serve as essays on military strategy, Arabian culture and geography, and other topics. Lawrence re-wrote Seven Pillars of Wisdom three times; once "blind" after he lost the manuscript while changing trains in Reading.
The accusation that Lawrence repeatedly exaggerated his feats has been a persistent theme among commentators. The list of his alleged "embellishments" in Seven Pillars is long, though many such allegations have been disproved with time, most definitively in Jeremy Wilson's authorised biography. However Lawrence's own notebooks confirm that his claim to have crossed The Sinai Peninsula from Aqaba to the Suez Canal in just 49 hours without any sleep was not true. In reality this famous camel ride lasted for more than 70 hours and was interrupted by two long breaks for sleeping which Lawrence omitted when he wrote his book. Lawrence acknowledged having been helped in the editing of the book by George Bernard Shaw. In the preface to Seven Pillars, Lawrence offered his "thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Shaw for countless suggestions of great value and diversity: and for all the present semicolons."
The first public edition was published in 1926 as a high-priced private subscription edition. Lawrence was afraid that the public would think that he would make a substantial income from the book, and he stated that it was written as a result of his war service. He vowed not to take any money from it, and indeed he did not, as the sale price was one third of the production costs. This left Lawrence in substantial debt.
The resultant trust paid off the debt, and Lawrence then invoked a clause in his publishing contract to halt publication of the abridgment in the UK. However, he allowed both American editions and translations, which resulted in a substantial flow of income. The trust paid income either into an educational fund for children of RAF officers who lost their lives or were invalided as a result of service, or more substantially into the RAF Benevolent Fund set up by Air-Marshal Trenchard, founder of the RAF, in 1919.
After Lawrence's death, his brother inherited all Lawrence's estate and his copyrights as the sole beneficiary. To pay the inheritance tax, he sold the U.S. copyright of Seven Pillars of Wisdom (subscribers' text) outright to Doubleday Doran in 1935. Doubleday still controls publication rights of this version of the text of Seven Pillars of Wisdom in the USA. In 1936 he split the remaining assets of the estate, giving "Clouds Hill" and many copies of less substantial or historical letters to the nation via the National Trust, and then set up two trusts to control interests in Lawrence's residual copyrights. To the original Seven Pillars Trust he assigned the copyright in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, as a result of which it was given its first general publication. To the Letters and Symposium Trust, he assigned the copyright in The Mint and all Lawrence's letters, which were subsequently edited and published in the book T. E. Lawrence by his Friends (edited by A. W. Lawrence, London, Jonathan Cape, 1937).
A substantial amount of income went directly to the RAF Benevolent Fund or for archaeological, environmental, or academic projects. The two trusts were amalgamated in 1986, and, on the death of Prof. A. W. Lawrence, also acquired all the remaining rights to Lawrence's works that it had not owned, plus rights to all of Prof. Lawrence's works.
Lawrence did not discuss his sexual orientation or practices. There is one clearly homoerotic passage in the Introduction, Chapter 2, of Seven Pillars of Wisdom: "quivering together in the yielding sand, with intimate hot limbs in supreme embrace."
The book is dedicated to "S.A." with a poem that begins:
Lawrence himself maintained that "S.A." was a composite character. He once said: "I liked a particular Arab, and thought that freedom for the race would be an acceptable present. If "S.A." does refer to a particular person, a likely possibility is Selim Ahmed, nicknamed "Dahoum" ("Dark One"), a 14-year-old Arab with whom Lawrence is known to have been close. The two met while working at a pre-war archaeological dig at Carchemish; Lawrence had the boy move in with him, carved a nude sculpture of him which he placed on the roof of the house in Greco-Roman style, and brought Ahmed on holiday to England. The two parted in 1914, never to see each other again, as Dahoum died of typhus in 1918. Boston University Professor Matthew Parfitt maintains that "in Seven Pillars, and more explicitly in his correspondence, Lawrence suggests that his distaste for the entire exploit (i.e., the Arab Campaign) in its last triumphant days was largely owing to news of his friend's death."
In Seven Pillars, Lawrence claims that, while reconnoitering Deraa in Arab disguise, he was captured, beaten, and raped. Modern biographers have questioned whether the incident ever occurred: in part, because there are problems with the chronology of Lawrence's account, in part because his subsequent sex life revolved around male flagellation, and also, because the Ottoman commander whom he accuses of whipping and sodomising him went on to lead a blameless post-war life. Lawrence's own statements and actions concerning the incident have contributed to the confusion: he removed the page from his war diary which would have covered the November 1917 week in question.
Lawrence hired people to whip him, indicating that he had a taste for masochism. Also, years after the Deraa incident, Lawrence embarked on a rigid programme of physical rehabilitation, including diet, exercise, and swimming in the North Sea. During this time he recruited men from the service and told them a story about a fictitious uncle who, because Lawrence had stolen money from him, demanded that he enlist in the service and that he be beaten. Lawrence wrote letters purporting to be from the uncle ("R." or "The Old Man") instructing the men in how he was to be beaten, yet also asking them to persuade him to stop this. This treatment continued until his death.
Discussion about Lawrence's sexuality began with Richard Aldington's critical Lawrence of Arabia: A Biographical Inquiry (1955). Richard Meinertzhagen wrote in his Middle East Diary that upon meeting Lawrence, he asked himself, "Boy or girl?" – though historians widely consider this to have been added after the fact. The play Ross (1960) by Terence Rattigan, as well as the famous David Lean film Lawrence of Arabia, helped introduce the idea into popular culture.
In a letter to a homosexual man, Lawrence wrote that he did not find homosexuality morally wrong, yet he did find it distasteful. In the book T. E. Lawrence by His Friends, many of Lawrence's friends are adamant that he was not homosexual but simply had little interest in the topic of sex. Not one of them suspected him of homosexual inclinations. E.H.R. Altounyan, a close friend of Lawrence, wrote the following in T. E. Lawrence by His Friends:
"Women were to him persons, and as such to be appraised on their own merits. Preoccupation with sex is (except in the defective) due either to a sense of personal insufficiency and its resultant groping for fulfilment, or to a real sympathy with its biological purpose. Neither could hold much weight with him. He was justifiably self sufficient, and up to the time of his death no woman had convinced him of the necessity to secure his own succession. He was never married because he never happened to meet the right person; and nothing short of that would do[...]."
A map of the Middle East that belonged to Lawrence has been put on exhibition at the Imperial War Museum in London. It was drafted by him and presented to Britain's War Cabinet in November 1918.
The map provides an alternative to present-day borders in the region, apparently partly designed with the intention to marginalize the post-war role of France in the region by limiting its direct colonial control to today's Lebanon. It includes a separate state for the Armenians and groups the people of present-day Syria, Jordan and parts of Saudi Arabia in another state, based on tribal patterns and commercial routes.
He was portrayed by Judson Scott in the 1982 TV series Voyagers!, and by Joseph A. Bennett and Douglas Henshall in the 1992 TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. In Young Indiana Jones, Lawrence is portrayed as being a life-long friend of the title character.

Namibia is to host the prestigious Aviation and Business Leadership Conference on September 2 to 4. The conference is expected to bring together over 280 industry and allied sector delegates from Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, Africa and Asia.
Several African minister and industry decision-makers from the public and private sector are expected to attend, making the conference a hot-spot for investors seeking new opportunities in Africa and providing opportunity for industry partners to renew existing bonds.
Captain Edward Boyo, publisher of the Aviation and Allied Business Journal, the organisers of the conference, says the conference will focus on finding more innovative ways of resolving the difficulties facing aviation development in Africa, while making Africa's coordinated response to common internal and external policy challenges more realisable.
President Hifikepunye Pohamna is expected to open the conference, themed 'Air Transport Development: Rethinking Africa's Strategy'.
The conference will re-evaluate the state of air transport growth and development in Africa, while seeking workable options for advancing practical improvement in the sector in the context of the industry's continued growth and emerging limitations.
"While the continent has made pockets of commendable progress on safety and security, notable gaps still exist. Therefore, the level of such achievements in all aspects of air transport in Africa must now improve significantly and steadily Africa-wide," Boyo said in a media statement.
"The African Union will also be in attendance. The first day we will have disco-sessions whereby policy makers such as minister will interact with industry leaders," said Aduke Atiba the executive director of Landover Company, a leading Aviation Services Provider and Airline Group in Africa.
Atiba said they want the conference to be as collaborative as possible so as to lobby support from policy makers and the AU for a unified response to challenges.

UDP leader Ousainou Darboe and members of the party executive Sunday called a press conference to announce that the police denied the country's leading opposition party a permit to hold a political rally at Cedar Club Latrikunda German.
The rally was to celebrate UDP's 18th anniversary, following the launching of the opposition party in The Gambia on 23 August 1996.
23 August 1996, said Lawyer Darboe, is "a very significant day in the life of the United Democratic Party; in the life of modern-day Gambia. It is a day on which Gambians who cared for their country got together to put up resistance to impunity; unlawful behavior of the military; to protest against the overthrow of the democratically elected government; and, it was a day when Gambians were given renewed hope that their children and grand children will live in a decent society. The rally was to be held to celebrate and salute those Gambians who have dedicated their lives to the struggle for political pluralism."
The UDP, lawyer Darboe wants the public to know, is being frustrated in its attempts to hold a political rally, and that it would not allow the opposition party's political rights to be denied.
Speaking to reporters, Lawyer Darboe said 2016 is a crucial year in the country, a year in which elections will be held. That the UDP, as a political party, has started working towards 2016.
He said the party had planned a rally for the 9th of August, and the application for use of a public address system at the rally was submitted to the police on 19th July 2014. However, the police asked the UDP youth wing leader Ebrima Sandeng to pick up their letter on 7th of August.
The UDP executive then decided that the period between 7 and 9 August was not enough time to publicise and hold the rally, which was to be held at Ebony Junction in Serrekunda Central.
The UDP submitted another application letter dated 11th August "to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the founding of the United Democratic Party" on 23 August 2014 at the same venue.
"Our application was not rejected," Darboe said, but the police asked that the rally be held at "a different venue." He added that the police not only responded just a few days before the event; but then stated in their letter - copy of which was made available to reporters at the press conference - that "due to the rainy season and the conditions of the roads linking to the main road, the diversion of the traffic will cause difficulties to motorists and pedestrians, if the rally is held at Ebony, Serrekunda Central."
When this reason was given by the police, the UDP leader wrote to the Inspector General of Police, according to a letter dated 21st August - a copy of which was made available to the reporters - and complained about the police "handling of our applications for use of Public Address System at our rallies." He said he pointed out that the police have not been responding in good time to make it possible to organize these rallies.
"In any event, the UDP and other parties have held rallies at this particular venue in past rainy seasons, and the conditions of the roads linking to the main road have not changed. Pedestrians and mororists never experienced any difficulty... "
Lawyer Darboe described the reason given by the police as not acceptable, that it was not a "genuine" explanation, adding that the police showed a lack of "good faith", when they delivered their reply at around 5 pm on 20th August - to the UDP's application to hold their rally on 23 August.
He further described the police's reaction as "a ploy to stop us organizing the rally", and that the UDP wrote back to them that the party will now hold the rally at Cedar Club Latrikunda German on 30 August.
Then on Thursday 28th August, again at around 5:30 PM, according to the opposition leader, the UDP received a letter from the IGP stating: "Please be informed that your request is not granted due to security reasons."
The UDP called the reason given by the police "a sham" and wondered what security reasons will require opposition political parties not to hold rallies in the country.
The UDP is not an organ that would jeopardize the country's security. The opposition party has been at the forefront of ensuring that peace and stability in The Gambia is not put in jeopardy, he went on.
According to lawyer Darboe, if anybody poses a security threat, it has been APRC supporters who have been charged with treason.
Darboe went on to declare that as regards the denial of a permit to hold the rally planned, the UDP holds deputy IGP Ousman Gibba responsible.
Asked how this development reflects on the national count down to the 2016 elections, Darboe said it shows the continuing stifling of the political opposition; that it manifests a poor democratic environment in which political parties are not allowed to operate freely.
He said considering that the opposition parties do not have access to the public media, to deny them permits to hold political rallies is tantamount to an attempt to "undermine the constitution, and to sow seeds of discontent in the country."

Description of Research ExpertiseNEUROBIOLOGY OF SOCIOAFFECTIVE FUNCTION & RESILIENCE
Psychosocial experiences impact on physiology, health and well-being. Nurturing social interactions or exposure to interpersonal violence and disruption of social bonds, during infancy or adulthood, interact with genetic background to influence risk and resilience for affective disorders.
Our lab uses neurobiological and behavioral approaches in the mouse to examine how aversive socioaffective experiences (i.e. aggression, social isolation, group instability) or positive social experiences (Environmental enrichment , social bonding) affect brain development and function at the molecular, cellular and systems level. Our main projects focus on experience-dependent plasticity of monoamine systems, phylogenetically ancient and highly conserved neurotransmitters implicated in regulating multiple aspects of social and affective behaviors
- What are the circuits and intracellular signaling mechanisms by which the brain encodes the affective value of social stimuli and update their valence based on experience ?
-How does social experience affect circuits structure and function?
- What differentiates individuals that are resilient from those that are vulnerable to psychosocial stress ?
- Can affective resilience be boosted by specific types of social experiences? What are underlying neurobiological mechanisms?
- By what mechanisms do antidepressants and other types of interventions such as DBS influence socioaffective responses and stress resilience ?

Holly and Kohler were recently married at Camrose Hill Flower Farm, a
beautiful setting located in Stillwater, MN. Their wedding was intimate, cozy and quite stylish. The bridesmaids wore romantic ruffled dresses in a shade of very pale pink, and the bride radiated in a sleek lace-edged gown. A few months before all this, the couple had an equally stylish engagement session with Anda Marie, whom we all know and love by now.
The whole engagement session took place in this gorgeous light filled field. Their wedding was also rustic by design. The bride and groom were married under a canopy of flowers and a painted wooden sign that read, "This is where our story begins."Sweet, right?
Anda calls Holly and Kohler "so kind-hearted and warm." "The way they gaze at one another makes my heart melt a little," she writes. Our heats are melting too, Anda. In part because of that killer skirt we only wish we could wear half as well as Holly. The other part, of course, has everything to do with the
couple themselves.
Thanks for sharing your sweet engagement session with us guys! And thank you, always and again, Anda Marie for making Perfect Bound prettier and prettier with each passing day.

text: Hope I created this thread in the right forum. I'm having this weird problem with Planetside 2, in Windowed mode I average around 80-90fps with all settings maxed out, then when I go into fullscreen it's around 15-25 fps. I'm running @ 2560x1440 with an AMD FX 8350 @ 4.5ghz, 2x 7970 CF and 32GB 1600Mhz RAM on Windows 8 x64, so it's definitely not a hardware/performance issue as I can even run Metro maxed out around 40-50fps. The official PS2 forums have been pretty useless as has SOE support, I'm getting the usual common sense 'update your drivers' and 'reinstall the game'. I've tried all this to no avail. So I thought I'd ask the real pros and see if anyone here can shed some light on the issue?

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
In patients who are receiving corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents, reactivity to the test may be depressed or suppressed. This reduced reactivity may be present for as long as 5-6 weeks after discontinuation of therapy (see PRECAUTIONS -- General). 9
The reactivity to PPD may be temporarily depressed by certain live virus vaccines. Therefore, if a tuberculin test is to be performed, it should be administered either before or simultaneously with the use of oral polio and/or injection of measles, mumps and rubella vaccines in combined form or as separate antigens, or testing should be postponed for 4-6 weeks. 10
Aplisol is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to Aplisol or any of its components. Aplisol should not be administered to persons who have previously experienced a severe reaction (e.g., vesiculation, ulceration, or necrosis) because of the severity of reactions that may occur at the test site.

Maintaining your bike promotes longer life of your bike and its parts. Although fuel economy may be less of a concern with a bike than a motor vehicle, elongating the life of your bike and its parts is a sustainable practice that can also save you money.
Want your bike to go faster? Ride easier? Shift smoother? Improvements in these areas are often relatively easy to accomplish with just a few simple steps. Try out these simple tune-up tasks below, which don't require any special knowledge, and see immediate improvements in your riding.
1. Clean and lubricate your chain
The chain and sprockets on your bike play a key part in the transfer of power in your legs to your wheels, making them go round and round. When they collect dirt and grit and get gummy, not only does it slow you down, but they also wear out faster. Keeping your chain clean and lubricated is one of the best ways to keep your bike working well.
2. Lubricate the moving parts of your brakes and derailleurs.
Your bike has quite a few moving metal parts that are vulnerable to dirt and moisture. To keep your bike happy and functioning well, these parts should be lubricated regularly.
Pivot points on the brakes and derailleurs are good examples of the types of places you should target because they are vulnerable to attracting dirt and grit due to their placement on your bike. Here's a diagram of common lubrication points on a bike, but you can spot many of these places just by watching your bike in action and seeing where metal parts move against and around each other.
For instance, think about your brakes. On most road bikes, they are mounted on a bolt on the frame above your wheel. When you squeeze the lever, the brake pivots around this bolt as it contracts. It's these places where you want to apply a couple drops of oil.
3. Inspect your brake pads.
A quick check of your brake pads will often reveal potential problems that are easy to fix. You want to check:
Brake pads are the little rubber things that clamp down on your rims to slow you when you squeeze the brake levers. Make sure they are hitting the rims evenly, and aren't either rubbing the tire or missing your rim partially or completely.
The bike brake pads should also be "toed-in," which means the leading edge of the pads should touch the bike rim first when you lightly apply the brakes. The pads squish a little, and when you squeeze down hard, you should get full contact to the rim. This helps prevent squeaking
Inspect the surface of the brake pads where they meet the rims, and using a pointy sharp instrument like a knife, pick out any bits of sand or metal that may have become embedded in the pad. Removing this grit prevents the pads from wearing and scratching your rims and helps them provide more even and consistent stopping power.
4. Check the pressure on your tires.
One of the simplest things you can do is the one that can have the greatest effect, and that surprisingly, people most often overlook.
Paying attention to keeping the proper level of air pressure in your tires accomplishes many things:
Checking for proper air pressure in your tires before every ride is quick and easy to do. Here's how to check the air pressure in your tire.

More hard hitting journalism from the crack team at politico. lol
Pawlenty, you had Bachman on the ropes last night with your line of attacks on how she hasn't accomplished anything in congress. She went on and on about how she led the fight for all these issues...you should have went in for the kill and pointed out that she didn't win a single one. She lost the fight for cap and trade, debt ceiling increase, even the light bulb bill (haha) she crazily threw out there. She couldn't lead any one of those fights to victory. Big fat loser zero of a scorecard.
Romney is wierd
Let's see Pawlenty is a ghoul,Bachmann is a witch and Romney is a flip flop.It would make for great comedy if there were not so many goofy voters who would actually vote for one of these nincompoops!

What is Avodart?
Generic Avodart is a prescription drug that is mainly used in the treatment of benign hyperplasia or enlarged prostrate in men. It is also given in combination with another drug named Tamsulosin according to the severity of the illness.
0.5 mg is offered through Med Search Online with a 100% money back guarantee. If you have no insurance, are under-insured or are finding that regular retail price for 0.5 mg is putting a strain on your finances, then purchase the 0.5 mg from Med Search Online for a fraction of what you would normally have to pay. To save even more money, consider the Generic for 0.5 mg, Dutasteride 0.5 mg for less than a cup of coffee a day!
& Online Price
& Online Price
What is the main Ingredient of the generic for Avodart?
Dutasteride is the main component of this medication.
Who manufactures Avodart?
This medication is made by GlaxoSmithKline.
Avodart Pricing
We pride ourselves on providing our customers with the lowest price cost of Avodart. The cost to you for our Avodart is the lowest price and is most affordable.
What are the main symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
The main signs of benign hyperplasia include tendency to urinate frequently, weak flow of urine, irregular halts and starts in the urine flow, severe urgency to urinate very often and tendency to urinate numerous times in the night time. DHT is the main culprit behind the enlargement of the prostate.
How Does generic Avodart work?
This medication functions by preventing the change of testosterone into DHT which in turn lowers the quantity of DHT in the system. This medicine thereby aids to lower DHT levels and help the prostrate to shrink. It thus provides relief to the enlarged prostrate symptoms that men experience including improvement in the rate of urine flow and even helps to avert surgery in some victims.
How should Generic Avodart be taken?
Avodart comes in the form of capsules and the normal dosage prescribed is once a day. It is best to have this medicine with a full glass of water. This drug is slow in showing results and will take around three months to even one year to show positive results. Avodart can be had with or without food but makes sure that it is swallowed completely and is not crushed or chewed. Take care to have it at the same time daily to uphold an even level of the medicine in your system. It is imperative that you have the medicine exactly as your doctor prescribes it to get maximum effectiveness from it. You should never stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor about it as it may cause unwanted complications.
You may require a blood test often to make sure that you are responding well to this medication and are not suffering from any unwanted adverse effects. You may also need to test prostrate specific antigen or PSA to rule out prostrate cancer. So make sure that you keep up your doctor's appointments and do not miss even a single visit.
Generic Avodart comes in a single dosage of 0.5mg once every day.
Adverse Effects
While this medication is found to be tolerated well by most people, some adverse effects have been reported in rare cases. This includes:
• Lowered libido
• Erectile dysfunction or impotence
• Low quantity of semen during ejaculation
• Enlargement of breast or sometimes even tenderness in breasts
Serious adverse effects are extremely rare with Avodart. But in case the victim develops breathing complications, inflammation of your face, tongue or lips, it is best to seek immediate medical attention.
Interactions with Avodart
Avodart generic does interact with some particular drugs and so it is vital that you let your physician know about all the drugs that you are already using to avoid unnecessary drug interactions. It is also advisable to let your doctor be aware of any allergies and your complete medical history before starting on Avodart so that the doctor will know whether this medication will be suitable for your or not.
Missed Dose
If you happen to miss a dose, make sure that you consume the dose as soon as you get reminded about it. But it would be better to miss the dose if it is nearly time for the next dose. Remember that you should never double your dosage in order to compensate for the missed dosage.
Overdose of Avodart
It is extremely important that you get immediate medical help if you have an overdose of this drug by mistake.
Warnings and Precautions
If you happen to have a medical history of any kind of liver complications or any kind of allergies, it is imperative that you inform your doctor about it before you begin Avodart. This medication is not meant for women or children and should not even be touched by a pregnant woman as this drug can get into your body through the skin. This can cause serious damage to the fetus.
Things to Avoid while using the generic of Avodart
Make sure that you do not donate blood to any person while you are on this medication and even for about six months after you stop this drug. This drug may remain in your blood and may be transferred to the person whom you donate blood to. If the person who receives the transfusion is pregnant, there is every chance that the trace of this drug may harm the fetus.
Avodart generic should be carefully preserved at room temperature in an airtight bottle safe from extreme heat or dampness. Do not use a capsule that is leaking or broken. Make sure that you do not store this medication within children's reach.

OK, I am back blogging after a short Thanksgiving break. I didn't go nowhere though. I was "On Duty" working at home. I didn't eat turkey either as I am enjoy reading The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health and trying to embark on a journey to eat only plant food for life. I realized that this is going to a very difficult journey so I give myself sometime to think this through. As I don't want to do yo-yo.
Other than that, I watched Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series using my newly acquired Dell Inspiron 1520 – equipped among everything else with 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8600M GT, running Vista Ultimate. What I can say, the screen results is amazing!
OK, enough said about my Thanksgiving Dairy and time to get back to work!
In case you haven't heard, the new version of Windows PowerShell — Version 2.0, CTP is now available for early "adopters".
I just spent about 20 minutes to get it installed on my new Vista Laptop, here is a couple of points worth to mention:
Windows PowerShell 1.0 and Windows PowerShell 2.0 Community Technology Preview (CTP) cannot run on the same computer. You must un-install Windows PowerShell 1.0 before installing the version 2.0 CTP; It requires Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 which is part of Vista OS; if you need the Graphical PowerShell feature or the Out-GridView cmdlet, you will also need Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.0 which is again part of Vista but you will need to use the "Turn Windows Features On Or Off" in control panel to turn it on. It also requires WS-Management v1.1 which I have yet to find it's "vista" version. This is why I get a warning:"Windows PowerShell(TM)v2(CTP)remoting features may not work correctly in this version of the Operating System."
Other than that I have to say the install itself is pretty smooth.
Just do get-process |out-gridview and you will like what you see. Another cool new feature is Graphical PowerShell(early alpha version)You can use it to compose and test run your scripts. It has the potential or intent to become "PowerShell Studio" down the road.
Of course PowerShell Remoting is the added feature but I have yet to test it out on Vista.
Happy Holidays

One of the ground breaking features introduced in windows 2008 is Server core - it's a Windows OS without GUI. You need to use a command prompt or scripting techniques to manage the server. The server core installation is available with Standard, enterprise and Datacenter versions and is available on x86 and x64 platforms.
The Server Core installation option provides you with the choice of installing windows Server 2008 with the only required services and applications. This option provides base server functionality without extra overhead. and minimize attack surface on the server
Server Core is designed for organizations that require servers to perform dedicated tasks and at the mean time permit only a minimal attack surface on the server. Here are some of the pros and cons for the server core:
Less overhead and less attack surface
Doesn't support all server roles and as of this writting, the following server roles are supported:
File serverPrint serverDomain controllerDNSDHCPWINS
Doesn't support .NET FrameworkDo not support upgrade from previous version of Server OSCan not change from server Core to standard version of Windows Server 2008 without rebuildRequires familiarity with command line and scripting
Here are some of the initial configuration tasks
Setting Administrator Password
Net user administrator *
The asterisk, at the end of the command, prompts you to enter the password rather than entering the password as part of the command.
Setting the IP Address for the server using the Netsh command
Netsh interface ipv4 set address name = "2" source = 192.168.1.10 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1
Configure Computer Name and domain Membership
Netdom renamecomutercomputername /newname:new_computername
netdom join comutername /domain: domain name /userD:username /PasswordD: *
Activating the server and Enabling the firewall
SCRegEdit.wsf is a customized VB script for Server Core. This VB script can perform multiple configuration tasks. One such task is to allow administrators to activate the server without using a GUI. You can also use this script to perform Windows Update, configure a pagefile, configure time zones, and enable Remote Desktop.
You can enable and configure windows Firewall by using the Netsh command
Netsh Firewall set opmode enable
Adding Server Roles and Features
You can add or remove all server roles and features, except the domain controller role, by using the OcSetup.exe command
start /w ocsetup DNS-Server-Core-Role (install and start DNS Server Role)
The File Server role is installed by default to provide administrative share support for management tools
You can determine the names and installation status of the available roles by using the oclist.exe command
Here is a VB script to check and verify the McAfee On Access Scan Exclusions on multiple machines and write the results to txt files.
I am doing VB script because my current job(production) environment don't have PowerShell installed yet. But I have to say this is not a very pleasant experience after I already used to the PowerShell way of thinking. Just look at how "complicated" to write the output to a txt file in VB script, In PowerShell I could accomplish the same task in a line or two.
'On Error Resume Next
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002Const ForWriting = 2const ForAppending = 8Const OpenAsASCII = 0Const CreateIfNotExist = True

'Enumerate the SubKeys here
oReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\shared Components\On Access Scanner\McShield\Configuration\" & subkey Exclusions = strKeyPath & VBcrlf
'Enumerate the Keys and identify the ExcludedItem_* key and get it's value and put them in Exclusions variable
oReg.EnumValues HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strkeyPath, arrValuenames

oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,arrValueNames(i),strValue Exclusions = Exclusions & (right(strValue,(Len(strValue)-5))) & VBcrlf
End If
'wscript.Echo Exclusions
strFilePath = "c:\Temp\" & strcomputer & ".txt"
' Open the file for write access.Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFilePath, _ ForAppending,CreateIfNotExist, OpenAsASCII)' Write to file.
objFile.WriteLine ExclusionsobjFile.Close
End Sub
In Windows Server 2008, a server role describes the primary function of the server. Administrators may choose to dedicate an entire server to one role or to install multiple server roles on a single server. For example, the DHCP adn DNS roles could be installed together on one server
A Server features provide supporting functions to servers. You can add features to improve the functionality of installed roles and not as the primary function of the server. For example, failover clustering is a feature thta is installed after specific roles, such as file server. This is done to make the File Server role redundant.
There are ~20 server roles in Windows 2008:
Active Directory Domain Services
Active Directory Federation Services
DHCP Server
Web Server (IIS)
There are ~30 features avaliable in Windows Server 2008:
Background Intelligent Transfer Services(BITS)
Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption
Microsoft Message Quering (MSMQ) Services
Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks (SANs)
You can use Server Manager to configure server roles/features.
