A boat has a water speed of 8.0m/s. The boat wishes to cross a river with a current of 3.00m/s east.
If the boat points south for the entire trip, what will be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore and what direction should the boat point in order to cross the river to a point x, directly south across the river?
1 Answer | Add Yours
There are two parts to this question knowing the river flows due east with a velocity of 3.00m/s.
1. If the boat points due south what is its velocity relative to shore.
2. What should be its direction if has to reach a point "x" due south accross the river.
The velocity of boat is 8.00m/s.
The two parts are solved as under:
1. The magnitude of velocity relative to shore is the vector sum of two velocities and is equal to sqrt(8^2+3^2) = sqrt(73) = 8.54m/s
2. To hit the point due south, the boat has to move in the south-west direction in such a direction that the due west component of the boat velocity balances the east-wards velocity of the river flow. if 'a' angle of the baot with the shore, than 8.cos(a)=3
cos(a) = 3/8, a = 68 degrees
1. The velocity of boat relative to shore is 8.54 m/s if boat moves due south
2. The boat should point South-West 68 degrees with shore to cross the river to reach point x directly south across the river.
This is possible

There was no immediate word on the test result, though U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann did not sound worried. Donovan was hurt Saturday while playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy, but saw some improvement before boarding a flight to join the American team in Miami on Monday.

I guess so, but it just seems a little odd that Ohio was well out of the top 25 and then Urban comes in and a month later makes Ohio the number one class without a doubt. I know he poached PSU's class, but still, it's a little curious. They certainly know what's coming :)

Gloucester Rugby: Freddie Burns is ready to take the heat
Posted: November 24, 2012|
PREMIERSHIP player of the month Freddie Burns will be excited if teams single him out as a target after his impressive start to the new campaign.
The 22-year-old Gloucester fly-half landed October's player of the month award yesterday, but quickly passed the plaudits on to his team-mates.
Enthused by the challenge of opponents working extra hard to nullify his threat, Burns is ready to adapt his approach to keep rival teams and defences guessing.
Revealing he still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, the attack-minded playmaker said Gloucester's adaptability has been a feature of their success so far under new boss Nigel Davies.
Calling on Gloucester to leave the Bryan Redpath sideshow to the supporters against Sale Sharks at Kingsholm today (noon kick-off), Burns explained: "I think it makes it more exciting if teams or opponents try to shut you down.
"I think you've got to adapt your game, and that's another thing with Gloucester this year, the way we've been able to adapt to different situations.
"The weather this weekend, you don't know what's going to happen there, so you've got to react to that.
"But individually, if people are trying to suss me out, that excites me because then I can always just change my game up and bring something new.
"I'm working week on week on adapting my game, expanding my game, and if people want to come after me then it frees up space for boys elsewhere.
"So I'm more than happy to take a bit of heat on a Saturday afternoon.
"It's credit to Nigel and the coaching staff. They've put a gameplan in place that allows us to adapt and it allows us to go if it's on to play, or shut up shop and play safe if we need to as well.
"We've got a freedom to adapt to different situations and that's great." Rejecting any notion of points-scoring against former boss Redpath today, Burns said he expects the Gloucester fans to be in just as fine voice as ever.
Redpath swapped Gloucester for Sale in the summer, but the Sharks have endured a torrid start to the new term.
First forwards coach Steve Scott was sacked, then Redpath was demoted from rugby director to head coach.
Chief executive Steve Diamond remains in charge of first team affairs, while ex-All Blacks forwards coach John Mitchell is still in the frame to join the club permanently.
He resigned from his head coach role at the Golden Lions yesterday, paving the way to completing his protracted move to North West club Sale.
Expecting a tough test today, Burns said the Redpath saga will not colour the Gloucester side's approach.
He continued: "I don't think you need to give too much more excitement to the crowd at Gloucester.
"They will have their opinions and I'm sure they'll express them.
"But we're a new squad and a new team and we've got bigger goals than getting one over on an old coach, and that's not our objective anyway.
"Brushy gave a lot of people, including myself, the opportunity to play. He's a good coach and he had a good three years or so here.
"But things move on and we just get on with it.
"We had two or three good years under Brushy, winning the LV=Cup and making the play-offs.
"Things didn't work out at the end of last year and his run at Gloucester ran its course.
"And to be honest I haven't really thought about that or about Brushy since he left.
"We're focused on what Gloucester can be as a team, and what little sideshows there are. The crowd can hype them up and do what they want with them.
"But we're there to play rugby, and that's what this weekend's all about.
"Times change and now we've got Nigel in charge, the squad's a lot different, the team ethos is different and the whole club's a different place.
"I'm loving every day at the minute. We all look forward to training, spending time with the boys and getting stuck into the hard graft.
"The team morale and the togetherness of the boys has been outstanding."

Taylor Made Comes Out With New Driver
I've always been a Titleist man, but if there was a company I'd switch to, it is probably Taylor Made. Their drivers are solid, they have pretty badass irons and even their putter (the Spider in particular) is innovative and sophisticated.
The new r9 drivers look pretty sweet and I'm trying to get my hands on one so I can give everyone a proper review. Hopefully someone at Taylor Made is reading this. Taylor Made peeps -- send me a lefty and I'll throw up what I think about it. Don't be shy.

Well, a former TaylorMade person is reading this, if that counts for anything. There has been a bunch of turnover there, so I'm not even sure who would help you...

Well, that's a start. I haven't hit a Taylor Made driver since the BUBBLE SHAFT!! If you can email it around, let me know.

thing looks intriguing, tho TMAG is getting really annoying with their lineups getting introduced every three months. why buy the r9 when you can get it a few months later for half the price?

Pretty good point Spencer. I guess Taylor Made can't complain too much about it, if every three months or so people are buying the hell out of the new product.

Current Release: Beta 33 (v1.0.5633.18513, Released 2015-06-04)As of the beta 30 release of Eagle, full Tcl 8.4 compliant namespace support has been added. However, creative reading/writing of variables is purposely not implemented.As of the beta 31 release of Eagle, string match has been enhanced with curly brace support, similar to how glob works in native Tcl.The web site is here [1].Information on the latest changes can be found in the Eagle ChangeLog.The official source code repository (Fossil) is located here [2].The Eagle Integration Tutorial is now available.Eagle was presented at the Alt.NET 2011 Seattle Conference.Eagle was the subject of a paper at the Seventeenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2010).Eagle was the subject of a paper at the Sixteenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2009).Eagle was presented at the 2009 Lang.NET Symposium. The slides and the video from my talk are now available on the Eagle web site.Eagle was the subject of a paper at the Fifteenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2008).Preliminary support for running on Mono 2.0+ has been added. When running on Mono, using version 2.6 or higher is recommended, as several critical issues have been identified and fixed.The latest build adds support for TIP 335 [3] and TIP 336 [4].The OpenBSD ports entry can be seen here [5].This article is basically a stub for now, more information will be forthcoming.I would really appreciate help in testing the latest build on different platforms (e.g. Windows 2000 (totally untested), Windows XP, Vista, 7 Beta, 64-bit, Mono on Linux/Unix/Mac OS X, etc). To make testing as streamlined as possible, I have added an interactive command "#test" that runs the entire test suite. -- JJM
2011/06/05 JJM - The first release of Garuda (Eagle Package for Tcl) has been released.
escargo 18 Sep 2008 - The SourceForge web site that is linked to by the official web site seems to date from the year 2000. -- JJM wrong link removed.2008/09/18 JJM - The project registration is still pending approval over at SourceForge. The one that you are seeing has been abandoned and has nothing to do with this project.2011/01/18 JJM - The project is finally available on SourceForge as well.2008/10/11 JJM - The project will soon be hosted on CodePlex at [6] for the time being. Meanwhile, preview source and binary releases are available on the project web site. Thanks to Pat Thoyts and Jeffrey Hobbs for helping me a great deal during the release process.2009/09/15 JJM - Apparently, the SourceForge project approval was simply dropped on the floor after nearly a year and my emails to them have gone unanswered; therefore, the project will simply remain on CodePlex and nowhere else.RS 2008-10-06: As Eagle is a Tcl reimplementation (somehow comparable to Jacl or tcl.js?), do you test it with the Tcl test suite?2008/10/06 JJM - Currently, it supports old-style tests and quite a few tests can run unmodified in Eagle; a more extensive test suite is a work in progress..[Lectus] - 2011-05-08 08:46:11This project is an awesome idea and should help people integrate Tcl in their .NET projects and should bring more visibility/popularity to Tcl.

mh2 It seems to me that ToCharArray method of the class String returns "tcl list of characters", not .NET object;
eagle {set s1 [object create -alias String "qqq www eee"]} eagle {$s1 ToCharArray} #% q q q { } w w w { } e e eas a result, I can not call BlockCopy method:
catch { eagle { set b1 [object create -alias {Byte[]} 1000] object invoke System.Buffer BlockCopy [$s1 ToCharArray] 0 $b1 0 [$b1 Length]} } err; set err #% could not convert method #3 "System.Buffer.BlockCopy" argument #0 "src" with value "q q q { } w w w { } e e e" to type "System.Array": System.NullReferenceIs it possible to cope somehow with that problem??? (may be, by using some special options?)JJM Sure. In the call to [$s1 ToCharArray], simply use the -create option, like this:
[$s1 -create ToCharArray]mh2 Thanks. Is there somewhere a description of an "object" command and options such as "-create" ?[DEC] I'm sure this would get more traction if some documentation were produced. Coming from a Tcl C perspective I have no idea how to drive this, some more detailed examples would be good.JJM The Eagle Integration Tutorial is now available. Looking forward to feedback on it.

Unemployment durations in West-Germany before and after the reform of the unemployment compensation system during the 1980s
This paper analyzes empirically the distribution of unemployment durations in West- Germany before and after the changes during the mid 1980s in the maximum entitlement periods for unemployment benefits for elderly unemp
This paper analyzes empirically the distribution of unemployment durations in West- Germany before and after the changes during the mid 1980s in the maximum entitlement periods for unemployment benefits for elderly unemployed. The analysis is based on the comprehensive IAB employment subsample containing register panel data for about 500.000 individuals in West Germany. We analyze two proxies for unemployment since the data do not precisely measure unemployment in an economic sense. We provide a theoretical analysis of the link between the durations of nonemployment and of unemployment between jobs. Our empirical analysis finds significant changes in the distributions of nonemployment durations for older unemployed individuals. At the same time, the distribution of unemployment durations between jobs did not change in response to the reforms. Our findings are consistent with an interpretation that many firms and workers used the more bene cial laws as a part of early retirement packages but those workers who were still looking for a job did not reduce their search effort in response to the extension of the maximum entitlement periods. This interpretation is consistent with our theoretical model under plausible assumptions. JEL: C24, J64, J65…

Evaluation and Measurement of Health and Wellbeing
The evaluation and measurement of health and wellbeing is a key theme of CPJH. A number of our recent conferences addressed it, including The Ethics and Economics of the Global Response to HIV/AIDS (2012), How Can We Set Priorities in Health Fairly? (2012) and NICE, age discrimination, and end of life treatments (2010). Some recent projects, reports, and publications include:
Social Values and Health Priority Setting
Jointly led by UCL's School of Public Policy, King's College London Medical School and NICE international and in collaboration with a host of international partners, this research project aims to compare the decisions made about resource allocation in health care by different countries, and to explore the differing social values that shape those choices. In the light of these analyses, the researchers aim to develop a set of principles to guide policy makers in any country when facing the 'values challenge' of health care prioritisation. A seminar series on Social Values and Health Priority Setting has been running since Autumn 2012. For more on the project, see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/socialvalues. The seminar usually meets on Friday lunchtimes -- see the Events page for more details.
Priority Setting and Value Based Pricing
Shepley Orr, Steve Morris and Jo Wolff were commissioned by Pfizer to consider the question of what values could be included in a health priority allocation method under the new proposed system of value based pricing. The resulting report (2011) examines a number of potential values, and ranks them on a traffic light system for inclusion or exclusion, and can be downloaded here.
Preference, Experience and Capability Measures of Health
How should health should be measured for public
policy purposes? Current measures use the quality adjusted life year
(QALY) or disability adjusted life year (DALY). The QALY bases
valuations of health on public preferences. But is it right to
consult the public rather than professionals or patients? And should
be base valuations on preferences, rather than 'experience' or
'capability' measures? And what difference does it make? In this
project, a number of members of CPJH proposed a reconciliatory
approach to evaluating healthcare interventions. For the output, see
Wolff, J and Edwards, S and Richmond, S and Orr, S and Rees, G (2011)
Evaluating Interventions In Health: A Reconciliatory Approach.
Bioethics 10.1111/j.1467-8519.2011.01888.x.
Value of Life and Health
Jonathan Wolff and Shepley Orr were asked by the Inter-Departmental Group on the Value of Life and Health, which includes the Treasury, the Department of Health, the Department of Transport, NICE, and around ten other government departments, to provide a report on the value of life and health for the purposes of public policy decision-making. The central questions addressed concern how the quality adjusted life-year (QALY), used in health decision making relates to the value of preventing a fatality (VPF) uses in transport, and when it is, and is not, appropriate to use this values. Further issues discussed include the question of how questions of equity can be taken account of in public policy decision-making. The resulting report (2009) can be downloaded here.

Udall Proposes Bill To Protect Physical Education Classes
By KRWG News And Partners
U.S. Sen. Tom Udall is proposing legislation that aims to protect health and physical education classes from budget cuts.
The New Mexico Democrat says his bill would classify health and PE as "core" subjects, like art and geography, under federal law. That would make them eligible for federal education funding and support.
With increased childhood obesity rates and diabetes, Udall says, the need for this bill is greater than ever. He says physically active students who eat nutritiously live healthier lives, have better attendance, study harder and show higher achievement rates.
Udall says his bill, first introduced in the last Congress, is backed by more than 75 health organizations.

Apple announces iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad
Apple has put out a press release saying iOS 4.2 (technically iOS 4.2.1 I imagine) is available today for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It's not showing up in iTunes for me yet (I'm getting an error saying nothing is available) but it should hit sometime in the very, very near future. (They say "today", not "right now"...)
"iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product, just in time for the holiday season," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit."
If any of you see it go live, let us know in the comments!

Men suspected of burglarizing burned house
An Evans woman believes two men discovered at her burned-out home Sunday might have been trying to burglarize the residence.
The owner of a Bridlewood Trail home, which was heavily damaged by an Aug. 29 fire, went to the house with her husband and son Sunday. Her 19-year-old son said he thought he saw someone inside when they pulled up. The woman and her husband checked the house but didn't find anyone, according to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident report.
Martinez man drowns off Tybee Island
A man who drowned at a Tybee Island, Ga., beach has been identified as a 59-year-old Martinez resident.
Worley Pierson was the first reported drowning victim this year at Tybee Island.
Just before 11 a.m. Tuesday, Tybee police and emergency responders were alerted to a man struggling in the water off the beach between 12th and 13th streets, said Tybee Island Fire and Emergency Services Chief Skip Sasser. That beach is not protected by lifeguards.
The following accounts were taken from reports from The Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
Woman held against will
A woman called 911 dispatchers Sunday morning. She reported being held captive by her boyfriend for more than five hours at an Appling residence.
The 41-year-old said she and Erik Joseph Boudreau, 41, were involved in a verbal argument at about 2 a.m. She said she attempted to end the altercation by leaving the room, but he blocked her in.
Toddler's aunt is arrested
The guardian of a toddler who drowned in a pool Aug. 21 after wandering from her Grovetown home was charged Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter.
Sharon Davis, who is the 3-year-old's aunt, also was charged with contributing to the delinquency and deprivation of a minor, according to Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
The child, Raydin Hollbrooks, died at the hospital after she was pulled from a backyard pool of a home in the 100 block of Pauline Street owned by Rex and Karen Newman, authorities have said.
Child drowns in neighbor's pool outside Grovetown
A toddler died Tuesday after being pulled from a pool near Grovetown.
Raydin Hollbrooks, age 3, was pronounced dead at Doctor's Hospital at 3:45 p.m., said Columbia County Coroner Vernon Collins.
An autopsy done Wednesday at the GBI crime lab in Augusta confirmed that Raydin drowned, he said.
Shotgun shoots Harlem man as booby trap
Authorities were looking Monday for the person they say rigged a man's shotgun to shoot him when he came home Sunday.
Keith Eric Lyons, 43, of Harlem, called 911 just before 8 p.m. after being shot in the head by his own gun in what appeared to be a booby trap.
Lyons, who was out of state for a week, opened the back door to his South Hicks Street home and was shot by his .20-gauge shotgun. It had been mounted to the kitchen counter top, according to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident report.
Grovetown woman charged after passenger dies in wreck

Grovetown mankilled in wreck
A Grovetown man was killed in a wreck in Augusta on Sunday.
Shem Rider, 22, died at Medical College of Georgia Hospital from injuries sustained in the crash, authorities said.
Shortly after 2 p.m., Samantha Presley, 20, of Grovetown, was eastbound in her Subaru on Gordon Highway. She tried to make a left turn onto Newmantown Road and collided with a 2005 Jeep Liberty, according to Richmond County sheriff's Capt. Scott Gay.
Only one of 10 stores fails to ID young buyer
Only one store failed to properly ID an underage alcohol buyer Thursday during the latest series of compliance checks at Columbia County Stores.
David Martin Ross, 24, a clerk at the Sprint store at 424 S. Belair Road in Martinez was cited after selling alcohol to an underage customer, according to a news release from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
The citation is for a county ordinance violation and will be adjudicated in Magistrate's Court.
False Facebook page insulting to candidate
A fake Facebook page was created last weekend that depicted a candidate in the 12th District runoff race in an obscene manner.
Lee Anderson called the sheriff's office Sunday and told them that someone created a false Facebook account under his name.

When I feel creatively blocked or
bored, I revert back to childhood and start to play. Doodling, writing
stream-of-conscious text, or painting loosely--all of these can loosen you up
and inspire you to take risks. Working with watercolor can yield the same
results, which explains its ever-growing appeal among artists of all
backgrounds. From beginning to end, working with water-based media can lead to
the unexpected, and the unexpected is sometimes exactly what I need! That's what I like about it the most, and those divergent
but altogether interesting approaches are what exploring the medium is all about.
Traditional practices and
techniques will always have their place in an artist's skill set, but working
with a sense of adventure is what can really lead to creative breakthroughs. Watercolor Without Boundaries is the watercolor
resource DVD that can help you expand your creative repertoire in the medium and inspire you to evolve your work in new ways.

Jim Leyland has made all the speculation a bit more official today by stating that the team intends to spot Carlos Guillen at first base full-time next year. 2008 will be the first year of Guillen's 4-year contract extension that was reached before this season that will have him earning $48M.
According to Jason Beck, Leyland convinced Guillen that this change provides him with the best chance to stay healthy and contribute throughout the year:
Leyland said it first on radio this morning and confirmed it later today that he plans on Guillen being his regular first baseman next season. He talked with Guillen about it Wednesday and convinced him that it was best for the team and would give him the best chance to stay healthy and play every day. They'll look for a shortstop this winter.
While Guillen's knee's, in particular, have been an issue; this is a good move on the Tigers part for many other reasons. Carlos will provide more power at first base which is a traditional power position. Sean Casey has provided solid defense and had a hot September but hasn't had any power and was all but pulled from his starting role as Leyland tried to get the team back on track.
Additionally, Carlos Guillen's defense at first has been steadily declining the past few years. He has been well below league average the last two years and racked up errors at an annoying rate. By getting this move over with so quickly Leyland has allowed the team to openly look for a new top rated shortstop immediately. This move was going to happen and the only remaining question was "when?" which makes you think that Dombrowski has already closed in on his choice to fill shortstop in 2008 and beyond.
This could also be what Carlos eludes to in this statement:
`I know they'll bring in a good (shortstop)," Guillen said. "I know it's going to be a good one. I don't know who it's going to be, but I know it's going to be a good one."
We will likely find out quickly this off season. Billfer has some more thoughts what this could mean at The Detroit Tiger Weblog.

I studied Social Anthropology at Edinburgh (MA) and then at Durham (PhD). I came to Newcastle in 1988 (initially for three years in CURDS), before I was appointed as a lecturer in social anthropology in what was then the Department of Social Policy in 1991. Before coming to Newcastle University, I was a research associate at Bristol University in the Department of Social Policy, working with Professor Peter Townsend on two health inequalities projects (1983-87) in NE England.
My doctoral research was in north India, where I did fieldwork in Kangra (Himachal Pradesh). India has remained a major interest of mine ever since (teaching, PhD supervision, and research). The Middle East has become the main focus of my research in recent years, however, through two research projects concerning public health and health systems. Most of my writing has been either in the health field (health inequalities, health and industrial pollution, the social and policy implications of chronic diseases, mHealth) or in the field of environmental politics and industrial risk.
I have major responsibilities for two EU-FP7 research projects in the Middle East (see Research).
I currently represent Newcastle University in the Public Health Foundation of India - UK Consortium, funded by the Wellcome Trust (with Dr Shahaduz Zaman).
MA in Social Anthropology, University of Edinburgh, 1973
PhD in Social Anthropology, University of Durham, 1982
Head of Sociology/ Deputy Head of School, 2005-9.
Associate Director, Institute of Health and Society, 2006-8.
Fellow of Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI)
Member of European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA)
Research Interests
1. Anthropology of health and medicine; inequalities in health; social implications of chronic illness; health systems in developing countries.
2. Anthropology of the environment; environment and risk politics.
3. India.
4. Eastern Mediterranean/ Middle East.
Current Work
I am currently working on four research projects/ programmes, all with a public health focus.
1. MedCHAMPS (2009-13). Co-Investigator, Acting PI during 2010-11 and part of 2012. A 4 year EU-funded FP7 project investigating (a) epidemiological trends in chronic heart disease and diabetes, and (b) the health systems for managing the rise in such chronic diseases, in four Mediterranean countries (Palestine, Syria, Tunisia & Turkey). This research brings together teams in seven universities/institutes. In this research I work closely with my colleague Dr Shahaduz Zaman (a medical anthropologist in IHS). For the project website see: research.ncl.ac.uk/medchamps/ .
2. RESCAP-MED (2012-14). Principal Investigator. This is a 3 year EU-FP7 award funded under the EU's Coordination and Support Action programme. It is a research capacity building project, focused on several disciplines relevant to public health. This research builds directly on MedCHAMPS (above). It involves the same partners, with the addition of new partners in Lebanon, Jordan and the WHO Cairo office; and like MedCHAMPS it focuses on non-communicable diseases. Website http://research.ncl.ac.uk/rescap-med/
3. TRUMP (2012-14). Co-Investigator. This is a 3 year project funded by EPSRC, under the 'Bridging the Urban Rural Divide Programme'. It is a joint UK-India project, with Indian partners funded by the Department of Science & Technology of the Government of India. Its aim is to pilot the development of mobile phone technology for use in supporting and managing chronic ill-health in a range of rural areas, taking two conditions: diabetes and depression. The UK team is led by Aberdeen University, with partners in four other UK universities; the Indian team is led by the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. My own contribution, with our RA Dr Papreen Nahar, involves particular collaboration with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi.

Throughout his career with Alabama's two-year college system, James Lowe has been a fix-it man, sent to turn around troubled institutions, including Bishop State in Mobile.
Lowe, who became Bishop State president in 2008, is now dealing with questions about his own academic credentials. His résumé lists a doctorate from San Francisco Technical University, a non-accredited school with a website that no longer is active.
Bishop's dean of instructional services, Latitia McCane — who served on the Project Phoenix Team charged with preserving the school's accreditation — also has been a focus of questions because of her doctorate from Lacrosse University.
Neither San Francisco Tech nor Lacrosse — both online schools — have ever had a seal of approval from the U.S. Department of Education.
"We just don't see where either San Francisco Technical University or Lacrosse University have been or are accredited by a recognized accrediting agency," said Tim Willard, a spokesman for the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

I am so glad you are feeling joy. I have never had any type of depression in my life, but the lack of sun here has really been affecting me. I didn't know people suffered from seasonal depression. Now I get it. I started taking some vitamin D to see if it would help. Have you had your levels checked in the past?ReplyDelete
The sun is shining through the clouds, I love it. So happy for you, this is great news. And congrats on losing weight, that is fantastic. It's amazing how quickly we see results when we improve our diets.
Keep smiling :)
Thrilled that you are feeling better. Depression is an awful thing but a very
real thing. Congrats!! on your weight loss. You go Girl!!!
I am feeling better physically and emotionally since I started eating better. It is amazing how great I feel. All because of better food choices.
I love your posts! You always touch a nerve with me, and I LOVE IT!
Thanks girl!!
I'm so, so glad. *hugs* We had one...yes ONE day of sunshine so far this winter. It was on Sunday and I watched it as I participated in a yoga course...it was all good.
I can't imagine losing a child or a husband; my heart goes out to those that have. It makes me want to lock the doors and coorie in with them all but of course, you need to let people be and hope that they will be safe; to count our blessings and to be glad that a good day was had.
Lovely post, thank you so much for sharing.
Helen xx
So amazing how God works. I watched fireproof just last night (by myself :( - God's timing right :) And you have the Love Dare as part of your post. Talk about a kick in the pants... I love it when God isn't subtle... he just puts it right there SMACK! Hugs, The LadyReplyDelete
I'M SO GLAD THAT THE SUN IS SHINNING IN YOUR HEART! I THINK AS WE GO FORWARD DOING FOR OTHERS, THE SUN CANNOT BE KEPT FROM US, AND I KNOW YOU DO THAT BECAUSE YOU DO IT HERE! SENDING YOU A BIG HUG...STAY HAPPY! COME SAY HI :DReplyDelete
Praise the Lord! What an awesome thing to thank Him for!
I love how you have a love dare at the end! I'm going to think about how to greet my husband today!
God bless you, Becky!
: )
Julie M.
You are special. I love you for sharing. Thanks so much for just being real and being you!
love the new background!
I'm so happy for you dear Becky. cute cute pictures too!ReplyDelete
So glad you are doing so well! You can just read it in your words! I love it!ReplyDelete
You make me feel happy, just by reading your words. Thank you.ReplyDelete
So great to hear things are wonderful in your corner! I am missing blogging as my life has been so hectic but these words encourage me today! Happy Tuesday :)ReplyDelete
I too suffer from depression When we moved to AZ from ID I thought it would help but husband was out of work for 6 months and that threw me for a loop. Now he's employed and I've tried to stay busy. I know depression is a real thing and I think you're right that God will help. I've tried medication and it just hasn't been too helpful. Glad to hear you are feeling more UP. Enjoy the sunshine and the succor.ReplyDelete
I'm so happy your winter is going better this year -- and that you are taking your thoughts captive! You go girl! So proud of you. Thanks for bringing some uplifting news.
Yay! Way to go! I have been thinking about you often as I go through waves of slight depression and winter crank. So glad to hear this is a joyful season for you. God is SO good! I'm glad you chose to respond to that goodness and see light in the midst of dreary days. Awesome praise report! :)ReplyDelete
That's SOOOOoooo awesome, Becky! I celebrate with you!ReplyDelete
So happy that you're doing well this winter! I don't do well with the lack of sun and gloomy days during this season. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing different in your diet?
Enjoy your week!
I don't think I suffer from seasonal depression but I have been diagnosed as "clinically depressed" since I was 15. I'm almost 27 now and I still randomly wake up feeling like the world is due to cave in on me because things have been going well for so long. These days it doesnt take much for me to tip the emotional scales and start crying for no real reason or worrying over all the little "what if's" that pop in my mind. Trusting God and reading his word is the only joy that I find on these days and even then I don't really want to open my Bible and read. I know this is something that will never fully go away but one verse keeps me going (well many verses but this one reminds me that God hasn't forgotten about me, nor will he ever) it's from Luke 1:45
"Blessed is she who believes that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" (Emphasis mine)
I know that God has promised many things to me, but knowing that he WILL accomplish not only what he promises but what he's promised ME means so much to me, even in my darkest hours.
((kids needed homework help, had more to say but lost my train of thought, hopefully it will come back to me and I'll email you later if/when I remember what else I wanted to say lol))
Love ya Girly,
So glad to hear this, girl! Isn't God good?ReplyDelete
I'm so glad! I'm beginning to feel the clouds lifting too--probably due to that extra daylight we're FINALLY getting!ReplyDelete
oh Becky, this is a wonderful post! Of course, you can give a Praise Report, any time you want!
I would like to hear more specifically how you have changed your eating habits.
I already know that does make a big difference, but would just like to know what you are doing, when you get time.
Yay Joy!!! I always love hearing when someone overcomes, especially depression ;)ReplyDelete
This news made my day!! I am so happy you are feeling better! xoReplyDelete
I always love to hear how God is moving in other's lives. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
You deserve every ounce of happiness you feel :) So glad to hear your feeling better!ReplyDelete
When I had cancer and felt really crappy I would look around and wish that other people would really appreciate what they had. I would tell myself that when things got better I would be forever grateful.
Its never a bad thing to count your blessings.
Congrats on a little sunshine....in your house and in your soul. It does feel good to be healthy and such a triumph to see those punds melting away. For me its easier to feel good emotionally when I feel good physically.
Yay for a happiness in you winter!
I'm so glad for you Becky! Sounds like you have many blessings holding you up even with the sunless days hovering over.
Just today I was thinking about what a dreary day it was and has been for days here in Indiana. Then I remembered I could choose to give in to being depressed over it or choose to commit to joy in the Lord instead. Someone told me once that Joy is a commitment. It's not a feeling. Doesn't mean I always listen to that good advice, but this morning it did help me to choose to not give in to my feelings. But I did come home to take a nap after work and I think mostly due to it being almost dark outside by 5:00pm. I should do like you and give up sugar. Just haven't made myself do it yet. I know it would make a huge difference. I'm proud of you for being so strong and giving it up and now you see the rewards of it with pounds lost. AWESOME FOR YOU! Keep spreading the encouragement to let it go. Maybe I will catch the bug eventually.
You are such an encouragement to me,
Lee Ann
Yeah! I'm so glad to hear good news! :) I've been feeling guilty lately because the "problems" in my life are so insignificant compared to others and what's going on in the world. I have so much that I am grateful for but I can get wrapped up in my own little pity party sometimes. It's horrible.
Will you share with me what diet changes you made? I really need to get motivated and change mine...I just can't stop thinking about all the "good" food I'll be missing out on.
So encouraging to read on this dreariest of cooped up days. :) Having something to look forward to always helps!
ps- Love the new background!
this is a great dare!
i'm going to try it!!!
I love that you have a praise report....and an amazing one at that! Oh I wish I could hug you and we could do a little celebrating somehow!
I just received my books from Amazon today - the love dare. My husband and I have been on the 'crazy cycle' lately (have you read Love & Respect by Dr. Emmerson Eggrich?) anyway - I need a tangible 'to-do' - and I'm so excited for these books.
HUGS to you, Becky on this oh-so happy day!
I suffer with the same thing. You really have to push yourself some days, just to go through the day. Blogging is really helping me lately :), thanks to all you wonderful bloggers.
I am so glad you are feeling so much better :) It is strange to explain to people that just don't get it. Here in Blogland, there just seems to be so much grace and understanding.
Praise God from whom all blessing flow.
Have a blessed week.
I just want to give you a big hug, I'm so happy for you and your many sunny days you are having and feeling! God is amazing and prayer is soooo awesome, wishing you many more glorious days ahead for you my friend,
So happy to hear that you are feelling so good. You're so right -- there is so much power in prayer. Take care!
That is AWESOME...I can feel your joy and passion right through the type!
Enjoy each second!
Thank you so much for your blog today. I love reading your blog. Today on my blog I was talking about What do I know of Holy. How sometimes we make God so small and talk to much and we forget how big and great he is. I'm so glad that today you got up with the sun in your step. I will be praying for you that God will keep you strong and that the Sun will always shine(even if its not) so you have a blessed day...Thank you for being true about things.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you're feeling happy and joyful!!! It's been a good Winter for me too (I usually get the same Winter blues...even feeling down right lethargic...). I really think it's being a part of this wonderful blog community that has helped...it's so uplifting to have people encourage you and your creativity! I wish for you many more days of sunshiney thoughts and warm feeling :)
I'm so glad your feeling happy!
That is great news!
This was a nice post~
UGH, I am SO glad you posted this! We to know of a family who lost a child this past weekend, he was a member of DD's rodeo association...I too use these times to have "life check" as a reminder that nothing is forever and should not be for taken granted, which I do ALL the time! There are so many people hurting out there right now and it just breaks my heart!
I glad the Lord has blessed you with some joy through this winter time! It is difficult on the soul to be without the freshness of the outdoors for SO long!! I cannot wait for Spring!
awesome! what a praise!!!
you are always a delight! xo
Good for you! I'm smiling just thinking about you "spilling over with joy":) Have a happy week! Hugs:)ReplyDelete
Sunshine and eating well makes such a difference. Another thing I've been doing lately that helps is taking Vitamin D and cod liver oil.ReplyDelete
Praise God, Becky! What wonderful news to read about at a time when I've also been swimming in devastating news here and there. I'm just tickled that the big D is lifting. Isn't it amazing?! xoxoReplyDelete
Yay!! I'm so happy for you!! Joy is a beautiful thing and the Lord is so good to give it freely when we focus on him and ask for his help. What a wonderful answer to prayer!ReplyDelete
i've got a copy of the love dare sitting on my shelf. i haven't been able to get through the first dare. how pathetic is that? congrats that you're on day 9!!ReplyDelete
Oh girly I am praying big ole joy, hope, amazing smiles and just awesomeness (is that a word? It is now!) to continue all over you and never stop no matter winter, spring, summer, fall or even on a rainy day. So glad that some good sweet soul shine has hit your heart the last couple of weeks.
Sending you smiles friend,
Yay!!! I am so happy for you Becky! Praise God! I am sending you big hugs! Have a great rest of the week!
Hi Becky!
I am happy that you have been feeling better! This is great news! The sun does help!!
Keep it up....I really am glad to get this update because I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are. :)
Wow - I love your blog, your songs and THIS post. Our King is amazing. I can't imagine doing life without Him even in the daily struggles - let alone the big ones. Bless you sweet Becky.ReplyDelete
SO perfectly said!
i have been in prayer... in thought over so much.
so many lives forever changed.
i am so happy to hear the changes in you. God's grace right upon you.
you're so beautiful... so blessed... so inspiring.
I really am enjoying this book....my mom-in-law put it in my hands and said, "My gift to my son-in-law." She's asking him to read it too :)
Great heartfelt post in this sad time.
Oh, so happy for you!! Yeah, Becky!!ReplyDelete
Yeah! So happy for you Becky! I am gonna stop & pray for you right now ~ Praise & for continued "Sunny Days."
Target has a t-shirt in the girl's department that is bright yellow that says---SUNNY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN--it brightens up the whole house & mood when she wears it! Yesterday it was cloudy & she said, "but my shirt says sunny days are here again." so we had a talk about how sometimes sunny days are just on the inside :)
I think when she outgrows it I will cut it & frame it for our kitchen :)
I know that everyone has been touched and saddened by the devastation in Haiti.....but we must continue living and Yeah for you ~ I wish you many more sunny days. xoReplyDelete
Thanks for taking a minute to share your thoughts. I love hearing what YOU have to say:)

In Visual Studio 2010 Essential Training, author Walt Ritscher demonstrates how to use Visual Studio 2010 Professional to develop full-featured applications targeting a variety of platforms. Starting with an overview of the integrated developer environment, the course covers working with code editors, navigating and formatting code, and deploying applications. Also included are tutorials on running performance and load tests, and debugging code. Exercise files accompany the course.
IntelliSense is one the most helpful features I can think of within Visual Studio. When you are writing code, it gives you instant, automatic, context-aware help. I really can't imagine working without its helpful suggestions. There are some IntelliSense features that are powerful but less intuitive, however. In this movie, I will illustrate the countless ways in which IntelliSense helps you write your code. To show you IntelliSense, I have to have a code window open. So I'm going to go into Visual Studio and open this UsingIntellisense project, and I'm going to open this Programs.cs file.
I've already got some code in here, which I'll use later in this demonstration. For now, I'm just going to declare a variable of type book. Book is one of the classes that I have inside this application. So I'm going to typing "var b = new", and I'm going to start typing the word "book". I don't even need to get the capitalization correct. I'll type "bo", and you can see that this IntelliSense dropdown shows that there are four types that meet my requirements: Book, bool, Boolean. The last one is a bit of a stretch, but you can see that in the middle of the word is the word Bound, and that has Bo in it.
To write the rest of my code I'm going to press Tab, or I'll go back here. Now I backed up a couple of letters, and I don't get the automatic dropdown. To force the dropdown again, I can use one of my favorite keystrokes inside Visual Studio: Ctrl+Spacebar. Hold down the Ctrl key, tap the Spacebar, and there's Book. The reason Book is selected is because it remembers the last word that I used in this IntelliSense window. Now I'm going to type the open parenthesis, and you see what happened? I didn't have to type O and K. I just had to type the open parenthesis.
It's also works with things like semicolon. We'll come back here. Do a Ctrl+Spacebar. Book is selected. Now, I'm going to type the semicolon, and you see it finished typing the word "Book" and then put my semicolon in. Force yourself to make a habit of learning these shortcuts. Next, I'm going to call a method on the console class. So I'm going to close method called WriteLine. Now it just so happens that the author of the console class wrote 19 different versions of the WriteLine function. So the IntelliSense knows that there's 19 different versions of the WriteLine each one varying slightly by the type of parameters they have, and it's showing me that there are 19.
I can click on this down arrow to refresh my memory what these different methods are. For example, this one takes a one value of type char. I also get some specific text down here telling me more about this function. Let me delete that line of code. Next, I'm going to show you something called Smart tags. "var x = new". And I'll start typing a class that doesn't exist, like the Barn class. There is no Barn class here.
So the IntelliSense engine is going to warn me that I have done something stupid by putting the red squiggle there. If I hover my mouse over it, it says, "The type or namespace Barn could not be found," and give me some suggestions of what to do. That's because it's examined all my types and can't find the definition of Barn anywhere. Now if I select the word Barn, you will see that I get this thing called a smart tag. Now, smart tags are kind of hard to activate. You have to move your mouse over this, click here one time, and then I'll see this dropdown menu. It says, "Would you like to generate a class for the Barn." I'll show you how to generate a class later.
Let me just show you how to use this Generate new type. I'll click here, and I get a dialog, and it's asking me the access scope for this new type, what kind of type I want: class or struct or an interface or an enumeration-- I think I'm going to choose struct-- and then what file to create barn.cs. Then I'll click OK. Now you notice that my red squiggle goes away. I now have a new file in my Solution Explorer. And if I pop that open and take a look inside, you'll see that there is a public struct Barn in there. Now let me return back to the code I was working with a second ago.
I'll go back to Program.cs. I also have a green squiggle here. That's because I've declared this variable, but I haven't used it anywhere in my code--suggesting that either I forgot to do something with it, or I should erase this line of code, because I'm not using anywhere else in my application. Next, I want to show you something called autocompletion. Let me delete this line of code, and I'm going to type in "var x = new". Now watch carefully what I'm going to do. I'm going to type a capital S and then a capital L. This is really neat what's going on here.
There is a type available that has a capitalized letter S and an L for SortedList, and it's picked that out of the list. There is no word that starts with SL, so it's showing me the SortedList. Now all I need to do is press one of those keystrokes I showed you earlier. Space, Tab, Enter. I'm going to press the Tab key, and it stubs in that new SortedLlist. This also works if you have your own variables. I will come over here and say "var ReallyBigNumber = 9".
Then down here I'm going to type in "RBN", and it's finding that in the list. Even when I only had typed RB, it shows me that there's really big number, and there is something called EncoderReplacementFallbackBuffer. So I'm going to type in N, and now I'm going to press Tab key to have it finish typing. Let Visual Studio do the typing for you, and it'll save you lot a keystrokes. Next, I want to show you something called generate from usage. I already have a real customer class over here, but I'm going to sabotage my application by coming over here and removing this customer class, which of course will break my code.
Now I get the red squiggle, and I get the smart tag. I am going to come over here to my smart tag and choose Generate Customer, which adds this new file, Customer.cs. Now here is the neat part. I can go down to the first name and right- click on that or click on the smart tag. Sometimes it's hard to get these to pop up. So I can force them to show by using Ctrl+Period like that. I find that easier than trying to mouse over it. So I'm going to say, generate a property stub. I am going to click on this one and do Ctrl+Period. Do the same thing two more times. Ctrl+Period.
Then on line 26, this is a function call, because of the parentheses. So when I do Ctrl+Period down here, it says, "Would you like to generate a method stub for Save." Now all of my squiggles go away, and if I look inside my Customer.cs file, you'll see that it's stubbed in some properties and a method. Now I've still got some work to do, but I no longer have my IntelliSense errors over in the other file. My last demo is going to be showing you how to work with these using statements at the top of my code window. You might recall that using statements are there so that I don't have to type all of the names of the class down here in the code section of my window.
What I can do in Visual Studio is I can right-click up here and choose Organize Using. Then I can sort them in alphabetical order. Or what I'm going to choose is I'm going to sort them in alphabetical order and also remove any usings that I'm not currently using. So that removed three of the four using statement I had at the top of the page. I can't say enough good things about the IntelliSense support inside Visual Studio. It's a feature that I simply couldn't live without, because it is so helpful when I write my code.
