Khloe positive after split from LamarComment on this story
Las Vegas - Khloé Kardashian has "learned a lot" about herself since splittingfrom Lamar Odom.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star celebrated her recent 30th birthday with her new boyfriend French Montana at TAO Las Vegas at The Venetian Resort and Casino on Friday night (04.07.14) , and admitted she is excited to start a new decade.
Reflecting on the past year, she told UsMagazine.com: "I definitely learned a lot about myself and the strength I have as a person. I don't regret anything. I am still appreciative of everything I've gone through."
The reality TV beauty filed for divorce from her estranged husband after four years of marriage in December, following months of rumours he was addicted to cocaine and had cheated on her multiple times, and while Khloé said it was an "unexpected" time, she now feels "better."
She said: "You just have to deal with what life throws at you. Everything makes me better."
Khloé also opened up about her new boyfriend of almost three months, French.
Asked what she likes about the 'Pop That' rapper, she said: "He is just funny. He's light and it's easy. That's what I need right now. It's fun. I like how he's always happy. Smiles are infectious. They're contagious. I like that."
She added: "I just want more positivity in life."

My artist's blog is a place where I write about all sorts of things that inspire me. As someone who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder, a condition where emotions often feel exaggerated and you tend to have a different outlook on the world to what is considered the 'social norm', inspiration comes from many sources, and isn't just restricted to the work of other artists or artforms.
Strangely, before my operation, I hadn't really been inspired to blog about my weight loss journey. I'd written a few related blogs, on participating in the local community games and Poppy, my big pink gay bike, but not about the struggles to lose weight and make a decision about surgery over the last year.

to Strengthen Yourself
and Your Speaking Business
in Tough Times
by Burt Dubin
This is for tough people when times get tough. How do you
engage tough times, and we all have them? Take these savvy
actions starting today. See your improvement and growth with
each loving action you take.
Tough times call for tough competition. That means
holding on to what you have as well as going after new business.
Take this action: Respond to inquiries and possible gripes
on the same day. I use my cell phone to respond from wherever
in the world I am. I want to be responsive to the needs
of my clients, family, and friends.
Focus even more on your prospects and clients. Stay closer.
Be sure they experience your caring concern for their well-being
in every communication you transmit. In tough times, people
feel increased stress. Knowing that others care about
them reduces that stress. Become an oasis of caring.
In letters, use this complimentary close, "With kindest
regards," It works.
You experienced emotional lows in stressful times. So have
I. So have all of us. Put stressful thoughts in the past.
Focus on your optimistic future.
Clear your mind of negative vibes. How? One fine way is
physical movement. My favorite way is a brisk 2 mile walk
after the sun goes down. I walk even when it is cold. When
it is cold, I must bundle up complete with scarf, hat, and
gloves. Hot or cold, I always get home wide awake and invigorated.
You may prefer indoor aerobic exercise. Or a workout at
your health club. Or a swim. Movement enough to break a
sweat. That's the key.
Another easy response to tough and stressful times is to
meditate. I started meditating in 1975. This is a sure way
to still the mind, to access your essence, to allow yourself
to function with serenity regardless of the tumult and clamor
all about you.
Hans Selye wrote that this alone, feeling grateful for
everything in your life, yes, even the negatives, induces
a state of peace, of tranquility, enables you to cope from
a position of inner strength.
Loved ones, friends, clients, peers, prospects and vendors.
This kinship and connection, this reassurance of your aliveness
and your value, makes you stronger in every way.
You feel better because you're giving more than before.
You're doing your bit. Others feel better because they appreciate
you and what you do for them even more, especially in tough
Consciously move up to a higher plateau of contribution
to the life of everyone in your world. Be a source of comfort
and hope in every way you can. To everyone you know.
Some people stuff it. Stiff upper lip and all that. They
hide their fear. Be there for them. Watch what happens.
Lose yourself in service to others. Be a go-giver. Seek
ways to cause others to feel better about themselves and
their life now. The outcome is you feel better about you.
Set new, bold goals for yourself and your business. Do
something to propel your business and your life to a desired
new level. Tough times are prefect times because fearful
others are retrenching. Not you. You're forging ahead.
Live each day fully. Pack all the value you can into every
hour of every day. Value for others. Value for you. You're
here. You're alive. You're the "Master of your fate,
the Captain of your soul..." (I wish I'd said that!)
You're in charge. You're the steward of your talents.
Remember, regardless of external circumstances, you are
the creator of your life experience. Let your luminous spirit
light up your every attitude, thought, word, and action.
Make yourself the light in your own life and the light in
the lives of all others you touch.
That's right. Perform a free service for a deserving charitable
organization. In tough times, charities need you even more.
Years ago, I was approached by United Way. They wanted a
speech to charge up the troops at the start of a fund-raising
campaign. And for free. I did it, even though it was not my
usual type of program. They loved it. And I felt so good about
myself because I allowed myself to stretch. Try it. You have
nothing to lose except your old limits, your old sense of
what you can do. And you may gain a whole new sense of the
possible you.

MARSHALL, Texas (AP) — The Marshall school board has voted unanimously to name its high school football field house in honor of hometown sports legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle.
Tittle is 87 and lives in Atherton, California.
He was born and raised in the East Texas city, played at Marshall High School in the 1940s, then went to Louisiana State University. He played 10 years for San Francisco in the NFL, then led the New York Giants to three division titles before retiring in 1964. Tittle threw for more than 33,000 yards and 242 touchdowns and entered the Hall of Fame in 1971.
The Marshall News Messenger reports school officials say Tittle has health issues, that officials have talked with his family and that they're OK with the designation.

Lake Seminole -- Bass are slow and tough to catch. Topwater baits fished early are the best bets. Fish baits designed to work directly in the thick vegetation and in open grass-bed pockets. Stick with the thick cover. Bass will hold there to escape the heat. Crappie fishing is very slow. The "doldrums" will likely last until a fall cool-down. Bream fishing has been fair to good. Shellcrackers have been actively taking red wigglers and bluegills have done well on crickets. Hybrids may come up late in the afternoon and catfish are reasonably consistent.
Lake Walter F. George -- Bass fishing is fair. On the northern end of the lake, fish frog-type lures around the grass lines. Flipping grass mats near coves is another good shallow-water technique. Crankbaits are the key to the deep ledges now as are Texas-rig worms in trees and brush. Hybrids are good and schooling early and late over the ledges. Catch these fish with a shad-imitating crankbait. Crappies are fair. Ledges in 15 to 20 feet of water have been giving up some pretty good fish. Bream are good. Use red wigglers.
Flint River -- Fishing has been fair to good overall. Most species have shown steady improvement over the past week or so. Some fish continue to bite despite the fluctuating water clarity and overall changing conditions. Shoal bass remain quite active as the hot weather continues. Fish early in the day and expect some pretty good topwater action. Tiny Torpedoes and buzzbaits are good. Largemouths are slow. Bream fishing can be fair. Redbreasts and bluegills are active early on crickets fished near the banks. Catfish are a bit slow, but steady.
Lake Blackshear -- Action-wise, bass are good. According to some reports, however, fish size leaves something to be desired. Fish small plastic worms around docks and cypress trees. Crappies are slow. There are plenty of fish holding along the river channel ledges between 15 and 25 feet, but they are reluctant to bite either minnows or jigs. Stripers and catfish are slow and only scant bream reports are available.

|A study on indoor environment contaminants related to dust mite in dwellings of allergic asthma patients and of healthy subjects.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22426097 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|This study investigated the pollution of dust mite allergens in the houses of 30 families and their infection to young allergic asthma patients in Shanghai. Medical records, family information, and dust samples were collected from the dwellings of 15 young allergic asthma patients and 15 healthy subjects. Der 1 allergen, which is a common allergen causing allergic asthma, was measured in collected dust samples using the Pharmacia Uni-CAP System. A significant correlation was found between the number of Der 1 allergens collected from floor surfaces and the number of Der 1 allergens collected from bed surfaces. Some factors influencing Der 1 allergen levels were found in this study. Relative humidity in dwellings was found to be most influential to the allergen levels. The findings suggested that traditional reduction methods for coarse particles, such as opening windows and periodic cleaning of beddings, may be effective in removing dust mite allergens.

AND THE PC got a 9.5 !!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
and guess what? we got a trainer to go with it This is truly good start for the month of November...
Check out the video review
indeed there are some good games this month-
-=}{ Cool ... Cold ... Calculated }{=-
we've already completed our L4D2 trainer. we are waiting for the official release of the game before we put the trainer out there-
All the good games come out in the 4th quarter of every year.
holy ****.... The game ain't out and u guys alrdy got the trainer all ready to go? Damn, I love your work efficiency... As do the rest of CheatHappens i guess
Which is quite ironic - the game companies try to compete for the holiday gift money of people, yet if they were to release a damn good game in summer-early spring they wouldn't have any competition at all, and people most likely wouldn't have any fairly new games to play, so that could be just as good a choice, market strategy wise.

Interested in Serving on GreenStar Co-op's Council?
Thursday, 15 January 2015 00:00
Council - Announcements
Thanks for your interest in serving on GreenStar's Council (board of directors). We look forward to hearing your voice, benefiting from your ideas, and working with you to make the Co-op an even better place./p>
Annual Elections (in April); Appointments to Fill Vacancies Between Elections
In the annual Council election, conducted throughout April, at least 5 of the seats on Council are filled (for 3-year terms). If vacancies have occurred since the previous election, those may be filled for the balance of those terms (e.g., for 1 or 2 years). To be elected, a candidate must receive at least 50 valid votes, and at least 200 members must participate in voting). Vacancies that occur during the year are filled by Council appointment, until the next election.
To be a qualified candidate in the election, or for appointment, you must be a GreenStar member-owner in good standing (e.g., membership fees are paid up to date). To appear on the ballot, you must submit a Declaration of Candidacy form by March 1st; you could still run as a write-in candidate if you submit the form by March 31st. To be considered for appointment to a vacant seat, between elections, you need to submit an Application specifically for that, AND attend at least one Council meeting beforehand. Both forms are also available at the Front Desk at the West End store.
Should You Seek a Seat on Council? Some Considerations
Serving on the Council can be rewarding and fun (more on that part, shortly), but it is also a serious commitment.
Before the election (or applying for appointment), we encourage you to attend at least one Council meeting and check us out. (All Council meetings are open to all member-owners, except for certain executive session matters.) Our meetings are typically on the second Tuesday of the month, from 6:30 to 9:30 pm, in GreenStar's Classroom Space (formerly the Enterprise Car rental building), across Buffalo Street from the West End store). Agendas are posted in both stores and on the GreenStar website. If you become a candidate, also plan to attend the annual Member meeting in April to introduce yourself – there will be a "meet the candidates" item on the agenda.
We're always looking for skilled, caring people who will add their voice and ideas to the governance of the Co-op, and help represent our diverse Membership. Please read these materials, and, if you think you have the time, energy, inclination and passion to make GreenStar even better, fill out the Declaration of Candidacy form (in January or February) and run for Council! Or, if there is a vacancy, submit the Application for Appointment. (Council may not consider making appointments as the election draws near, to avoid giving someone who will have served only a short time the "advantage of incumbency."
Typically, in January or February, there are opportunities to speak with current Council members, to get some first-hand information and impressions about what's involved running for and being on Council. This could be in the form of scheduled informational sessions or tabling in the stores by Council members. Watch for notices about this in the stores, in GreenLeaf or on the website.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Council actually do? State law requires GreenStar, as a cooperative corporation, to have a board of directors (which we call our Council) that is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the Co-op and to the member-owners. In practice, Council makes the "big-picture" policy decisions, approves the annual budget, and provides oversight of the Co-op's finances and store operations. Day-to-day management of the stores and their operations is delegated to a professional General Manager (GM) chosen and regularly evaluated by Council; the GM then selects and supervises the rest of the staff. What Council focuses on includes evaluating our GM (Brandon Kane), our style of governance and the regular updating of our policies, on co-op expansion (now including planning for the opening of a new satellite store in Collegetown), and on invigorated member-owner involvement.
What's all this about "engagement" with member-owners? One of Council's primary roles is listening to member-owners and trying to represent their interests. This can happen formally or informally, at Spring and Fall Membership meetings, special "town hall" sessions and focus groups, and through tabling at the stores by Council members and member-owner surveys. Our Membership Committee has been working hard to reinvigorate these traditional forms of outreach, as well as come up with new ones. Maybe you have ideas about this and could help us to build a more engaged Membership.
OK, but what would I actually do, day-to-day or month-to-month? You would be expected to come, prepared, to Council meetings (normally, once a month; special meetings are called if necessary) and to serve on at least one committee (again, normally with monthly meetings). When all the prep and meeting time is added up, it's at least 10-12 hours a month. Most people do more than this, especially if they serve as an officer, chair a committee or lead a project. Many people do outside research or attend conferences and report back to Council.
What's a meeting like? The Council meeting is our main forum for doing business. There we hear reports from and ask questions of management staff, discuss and amend proposals for action, and vote on new policies. This can involve quite a bit of discussion and debate (and usually goes on for about 3 hours), but, when everyone comes prepared, can be quite effective. We use a version of Robert's rules – parliamentary procedure – to run the meetings. It might sound formal at first, but is designed to provide everyone a fair hearing. The best way to learn what a meeting is like is to attend one – they are on the second Tuesday of each month, starting at 6:30 pm, usually in GreenStar's new Classroom Space (formerly the Enterprise Car Rental building, across Buffalo Street from the West End store). Council meetings are open to all member-owners. Hope to see you there!
What's this I've heard about a new governance system? At the end of 2010, Council voted to change its governance approach, by using the Policy Governance model "in a form chosen by Council." Policy Governance is a style that is popular in the co-op world. It's designed to help keep the board focused on the job of high-level planning and goal setting and to give the staff more leeway in running the stores and in implementing Co-op policy, with accountability to be ensured through extensive General Manager reporting. Since making this decision, Council has spent much time in developing new policies in the Policy Governance style, which are gradually replacing many of our older policies. At the end of 2013, Council adopted 7 broad "ends statements" (or goals) for the Co-op. The Council now receives frequent, formal reports for Council's review, detailing how these ends are being reflected in store operations, and how the "limitations" Council has established on GM actions are being respected.
And what do I get? You get to meet lots of interesting people, have a chance to go to trainings and conferences in exotic locals like Texas or Wisconsin or Idaho, and become more involved in your Co-op than you thought possible. Also, you get a superworker discount at the register – that's 17.5% off almost everything you buy. In 2011, the Membership authorized Council to provide its members with modest, monetary "stipends," and Council decided to implement such a system starting in 2012. "Regular" Council members currently receive $600/year, committee chairs $900/year, and the President (chosen annually by Council, and who has many additional responsibilities) $1800/year. Childcare is now available at Council meetings, for Council members' children (at no cost).
Sounds good so far. How do I run (or apply)? Fill out the Declaration of Candidacy form (to run in the election) or Application for Appointment (between elections, when there's a vacancy), both of which are available at the front desk or on the website. If you want to run in the election, don't wait until the last moment (there are essay questions!). Then start educating yourself...and launch your campaign.
Educating myself? Campaign? Yes! Educate yourself by coming to some meetings, attending an informational session for prospective candidates (or watch for Council members tabling in the stores), or calling/emailing a Council member (such as the Chair of our Governance Committee – currently Dan Hoffman; contact info for all Council members is in the GreenLeaf newsletter and on the website). There's a lot of useful information in the "Council" or "Board of Directors" section of the GreenStar website (www.greenstar.coop) - click on "Council Documents" to find all Co-op policies. (These are also assembled in the Policy Book, a hard copy of which is available for viewing at either store.) Campaigning has traditionally been pretty low key at GreenStar – feel free to table and tell your friends – the more people who care, get involved, and vote, the healthier our Co-op will be! Tabling can be arranged with staff at the Front Desk. If you do table in the store, we ask that you be respectful of others and not interrupt the normal functioning of the store.
Again, thanks for your interest. We can't wait to meet you and work with you. And, good luck!

Story: A Life for a Life
Author: mkystich
Pairing: Bella and Edward
Rating: M
Type: WIP
Summary: Could you give up anything, and everything, for someone you love? I did. I gave my life to save the one person I knew I couldn't live without. And I gave it to the Beast.
It takes quite a lot to get me to start a new fic these days.
Original and interesting premise – check
Characters that are flawed but have redeeming qualities – check
A fascinating look or twist on the characters we know and love – check.
The story A Life for a Life is one of those stories that seemed to suck me right in. I met Mkystich during a WC some time ago, and when she teased her story, I was mesmerized by the snippet she showcased.
The story's premise is one of mystery and intrigue. Where Charlie and Edward are at odds over Carlisle's recent demise. It takes a couple of chapters to figure out why Carlisle died and why his son Edward is so hell bent on revenge.
When Edward comes to kill Charlie, Bella offers herself up as an offering instead. An eye for an eye, a life for a life. Edward takes Bella up on her plea to do anything to save her father, including being taken away by 'The Beast', or Edward's bad side.
I know, you may be saying to yourself that his sounds just like some other story you maybe have read, where Bella falls for her kidnapper, except that it isn't. Yes, she starts to fall for Edward, but there are reasons why this doesn't feel like any other kidnapping fic I've ever read.
First, the mystery draws you in. You want to know what happened between Charlie and Carlisle to make Edward turn into the man he now is. There's also the connection that Bella and Edward have. They knew each other in the past, and as the mystery unravels you find yourself rooting more and more for Edward and begin to dislike Charlie more and more.
I don't want to give too much away, but I'm really enjoying this story, especially with its weekly updates and shorter chapters. Both good for my lack of attention span.
Hope you give it a shot.
Until next time,

The main reason for htc's failure is not poor marketing. A company cannot survive with just one or two good models. htc haven't got a good speced midrange phone.for example One S has low internal memory nor it is expandable. Other mid rangers either don't have compass , front cam, low internal memory etc.The latest low end and mid rangers of htc have out dated specs and lacks additional features. Whereas companies like samsung has digital compass even its low end galaxy Y series androids which is priced equal to USD 100 in India. The only near perfect phones of htc available in India now are the high end models htc one+ and butterfly. htc didnt even bring One SV a mid ranger, to India which has almost high specs what other midrangers of htc lack,like compass, front cam, gorilla glass MSD slot.

Makes Android look cheap and boring. Think about it - colourful, Live tiles, and great animations. Windows Phone was the fastest growing OS in 2012, and is now outselling BlackBerry. Android is just a iOS rip-off.
And in terms of hardware, Nokia's PureView technology, and things like City Lens etc., makes Android manufacturers look outdated, because no-one else have this great technology yet except Nokia.

The S4 will be 100 euros ,ore than Sony or HTC for the 16gig version and a little cheaper than the Iphone so how is the HTC overpriced?
HTC's problem is that lack of a big manufacturing background Samsung have the resources to flood the market as Sony could but lost their way.
Apple have a long history with their computers and could use that to focus their resources on their Iphone. Nokia lost their way after the rise of the Smartphone. HTC lack resources its that simple.
Samsung dont offer anything better or worse than HTC, they just flood the market and people suck it up.

people nowadays dont care where their phone is made.. its on the performance of the phone now and how it will help their daily life. so HTC must consider this cause they tend to make a gorgeous phones but the price is so expensive people tend to look for others which has same specs but cheaper. this is the reason why htc becomes bankrupt..

Well those are not good news for HTC. I think that the new htc is really gorgeous not like that plastic ugly SGS4 but that's how the market works. I hope that they can come back...

This morning, early, there were finally Robins in the yard..I took this photo through the window! It is official Spring is here..the Robins declare it so. I lost by only a couple of days this year. "She who see Robins first" ..my sister in law with the Eagle Eye saw hers on April 02, 2010. The next big happening in our yard will be the arrival of the Bluebirds..maybe this week!
Easter dinner went off without a hitch. It was served at precisely 12:59..just one minute before the time I said it would be ready. If nothing else..I am punctual. Daughter Jen forgot her Spatzle maker..so we were without the German noodles..but her homemade potato rolls made up for it. It was a beautiful day, it was about 60 degrees and the sun was shining so we brought some of the lawn furniture out from its winter hiding spot. It rained a bit in the early morning..and it rained again last night.
It has been a long time since we had a little girl twirling in our kitchen on Easter afternoon..my brothers granddaughter, Olivia, indulged us..she is an excellent twirler. She informed us that she might fall down if she twirled too hard, and then she would have to go to the Doctor.
Chance had a blast. He had lots of ball throwers..at one point niece Meg said "Look at that dog, his whole body is quivering." He was exhausted.. plopped in the center of the floor..drooling..and quivering in his exhaustion. After everyone left and the kitchen was restored to normal we all had a nap:)

Joe Klucarich has been a man about town in Brown Deer for 50 years. He plans to keep it that way.
Klucarich and his wife, Rose, are the first to sign a contract to buy a new townhouse in the Beaver Creek Condominiums, now under construction on North 60th Street.
Klucarich was principal of Granville (later Brown Deer) High School, and a School Board member, and currently serves as president of both the Brown Deer Foundation and the Senior Citizens Club.
The couple, who own a house on Pelican Lane, began to look for a condominium two years ago.
"We looked at 15 to 20 different condos," Klucarich said, noting their search took them to Grafton, Mequon and Menomonee Falls. "For one reason or another, price or location or something else, none of them were right for us."
When they learned that General Capital had plans to develop condos in the village, Joe began to consider them. Michael and David Weiss, the principal partners in the company, grew up a few houses down the street from him, as luck would have it.
"I like the plans," Klucarich said. "We have a first-floor master bedroom (in the condo) and if there is company, we will send them upstairs."
Townhouse sales begin
JoAnn Vetter, who is selling the condos for Coldwell Banker, said sales for the 24 townhouses have just started.
The townhouses have first-floor laundry rooms, nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, 2.5 baths and 2.5-car garages. Sizes range from 1,500 to 1,700 square feet.
Steve Sirkis of General Capital said 10 townhouses are being built in the first phase, with prices ranging from $199,900 too $229,900.
"Construction costs are going up, so prices might go up on future buildings," he said.
One four-unit and four five-unit buildings, for a total of 24 units, will be built.
Vetter said townhouses under construction do not have basements, but the next phase will likely include a building with partially exposed basements looking over Beaver Creek.
"That building will also have raised balconies," Sirkis said. "The timing on this was good. The village believes it will start work to naturalize Beaver Creek in the spring."
Naturalizing the creek
Plans call for the removal of the concrete channel in the creek and the planting of aquatic grasses and native plants.
The development will also include smaller units in a three-story building with an elevator and underground parking. Called garden homes, the units will range in size from 850 to 1,350 square feet, with prices starting at $150,000 for the one-bedroom unit.
Klucarich said being able to buy a new condominium in the village enables him and his wife to stay put, something they find very appealing.
"I am glad Joe picked Brown Deer," Rose Klucarich said. "We are so familiar with this area and our doctors and friends are right here."
Mary Buckley can be reached at (262) 446-6615 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
WHAT: open house
WHEN: 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29
WHERE: Beaver Creek Condominiums, 60th Street at Brown Deer Road
WHY: JoAnn Vetter of Coldwell Banker will have pumpkins for the first 100 people who come to learn more about the condo project.

Nikki Jones is the top female helicopter pilot in the United States Army; the only female pilot to work with Special Forces. She is also withdrawn, competitive, and private to a fault, allowing no one anywhere near the real Nikki. After her mother's murder seventeen years ago, the authorities put Nikki into the foster system where she found no stability in life, until she joined the army. Having learned at a young age the only person you can rely on is yourself, Nikki finds it hard to trust anyone, especially Marshall Eastwood, the sexy sniper with a hero complex.
Marshall Eastwood has seen everything. As a Special Forces sniper, he has watched and killed too many of the world's dregs not to care about the people in his life. Women should not have to deal with these things and a woman in Special Forces is wrong; especially a woman like Nikki Jones. Unsure what it is about her, other than pure lust, Marshall decides to find out. Landing himself into the middle of a seventeen-year-old nightmare brought frighteningly back to life after the release of Nikki's mothers murderer.
When Nikki returns home from an overseas assignment to find that Allan Vargas, her mother's murderer, has been released on parole, all her old fears return. Marshall knows something is bothering Nikki, and he soon realizes how serious the situation can get. Although he promised not to tell anyone, Marshall sends someone to 'observe' Vargas, only to find there is more to Vikki's past than she has ever told anyone.
What an amazing book; it is non-stop action start to finish that grabs you and just keeps going. Ms. Gray has brought her two characters together with sparks that go further than the bedroom. Nikki's emotional growth through the story is a pleasure to read; this independent, successful, and very single woman learns to not only trust, but also to love again. Marshall is a well-developed character from the beginning, knowing who and what he wants to be, although he is shocked to realize he is in love with Nikki and he takes it in his stride until she risks her life.

Rodgers Jumps to the Lead at Rolex Tournament of Champions Hole-in-one helps Park maintain lead in Girls Division at Blessings Golf Club
JOHNSON, Ark. Patrick Rodgers of Avon, Ind., recorded a 3-under-par 69 to take over the lead Thursday at the Rolex Tournament of Champions, bringing his three-day tournament total to 2-under-par 214. Kristen Park of Buena Park, Calif., shot a 1-over-par 73 to stay atop the Girls Division with a three-day total of 219.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Rolex Tournament of Champions is a 72-hole stroke play event held at Blessings Golf Club. The 132-player field features 72 boys and 60 girls from 28 states, Colombia, Denmark, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand and the Philippines. The Boys Division is playing the par-72 course at 7,235 yards and the Girls Division is playing at 6,133 yards.
Despite the difficult course, Rodgers came into the third round determined to stay on par for each hole. He exceeded that expectation by scoring three birdies on the front nine.
It's the toughest course I've ever seen, but you have to be patient around here, Rodgers said. You have to realize that you can't avoid bogeys, but you have to stay positive.
Anthony Paolucci of Del Mar, Calif., trails closely behind in second place at 1-under-par 215. Drew Czuchry of Auburn, Ga., is in third place at even-par 216, followed by Will Zalatoris of Plano, Texas, at 2-over-par 218. Tied for fifth place at 5-over-par 221 are David Lee of Houston, Texas, and Gavin Hall of Pittsford, N.Y.
In the Girls Division, Park approached the 15th tee with a one-stroke lead, but carded her first competitive hole-in-one. With her 6-iron in hand, Park's aim on the 160-yard par 3 was right on target.
The green was sloped so I had to hit it a little right of the pin, Park said. I hit it perfectly and it just rolled in.
When Park closed out her round with her third consecutive 73, she held a two-stroke lead over Emily Tubert of Burbank, Calif., and Rachel Morris of Carlsbad, Calif., who are tied for second place at 5-over-par 221.
Moriya Jutanugarn fired the day's low round, a 5-under-par 67, lifting her up to fourth place entering Friday's final round.
Rolex Watch USA, which is in its third decade of support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. Along with sponsoring the Rolex Tournament of Champions, Rolex is also the title partner of the Rolex Girls Junior Championship and the proprietors of the Rolex Junior All-America Teams.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA provides valuable exposure for college golf scholarships, and has an annual junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 49 states and 30 countries. To ensure scholarship opportunities for all junior golfers who have the skill, the AJGA created the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program to provide financial assistance to young players in need.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. Former AJGA juniors have compiled more than 400 victories on the PGA and LPGA Tours. AJGA alumni include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Stewart Cink, Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel.
Final-round tee times will run from 7 10:40 a.m. off No. 1 tee. For more information about the Rolex Tournament of Champions, please contact Tournament Headquarters at (678) 617-9917, or visit the AJGA website at ajga.org.
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs. Please click here to learn more about the program and the different opportunities available.

You need something like a 1 uF ceramic cap across the power pins.
Since that chip doesn't get attached to ground when used with a split supply, you may want to also consider a bypass cap across the V+ and V- pins directly (pin 6 to pin 11). Since it's a high-frequency (narrow) glitch, you may want to tack in a medium value ceramic cap - 0.001-0.01uf or so.
hi icon,how did you include the pictures within your messages, instead of having them as attachments at the bottom and show up as attachment icons? do you have to keep them somewhere online?

I'm an Apple junkie. Currently, the Air lives on my nightstand, and gets used to check the weather/headlines when I wake up. The 3 lives wherever around the house. Like a lot of folks, I've fallen into the habit of reading on the iPad in front of the TV. I have a 2011 mini in the kitchen, serving music and recipes, a 2012 Mini in the living room serving movies and web video (iTunes and Airfoil always clash, so I'm using two entertainment servers where one would otherwise be adequate), a Mac Pro in the home office for photo/movie editing, and an iMac in each of my two offices at work. I have an iPhone5 for telephony, and my previous iPhone4, which is used as a remote control in the living room. I'm actually interested in the the bezel thing myself. For me it has been a significant distraction, but clearly I'm in a small minority on that one.
Obviously, I'm in a very small minority on the bezel thing. Guess it's just me.
That's some setup. Sounds like my house. Except I'm much happier having AppleTV than Mac mini as media center. My Mac mini is in my office for work, and as long as I keep iTunes running, AppleTV never fails me.

Coping with Kids: Blooming Bath, 'Doodle our Day'
Baby bath looks like a flower
MyRegistry.com predicts that the Blooming Bath baby bath will be among the trendiest baby-registry items in 2013. The flower-like item with petals fits under a faucet and cradles the baby for bathtime. Blooming Bath costs $39.99 and comes in turquoise, canary yellow, hot pink and ivory.

Making sense of your baby's size
Is my baby gaining enough weight? It's a common concern for new parents and not necessarily an unfounded one. Low weight among newborns has been linked to compromised immune systems, making babies susceptible to illness, and could signal anything from a food allergy to a developmental issue. Scary as it sounds, though, low weight doesn't always signal a problem.
"Small babies can be as healthy as big babies," according to an article in the February issue of American Baby magazine. "The key is steady growth."
The magazine's latest issue breaks down what moms and dads can expect. In the first few days after birth, it is normal for a baby to lose a few ounces — water weight, according to experts. Around the two- to five-day mark, the baby will start to regain about a half-ounce per day and should be back at birth weight between days 10 and 14.
What are some red flags? If a newborn's weight dips by more than 7 percent, if she takes longer than two weeks to return to her birth weight or if there is a significant drop in trajectory on the growth chart — for example, from the 60th percentile to the 10th — then it's best to consult a pediatrician.
'Doodle Your Day' encourages journaling
Author Anita Wood, known as the Doodle Queen, is putting out a new book, "Doodle Your Day," in March. The activity book offers doodling and journaling prompts for kids to use every day of the year, so that they will have an illustrated keepsake at the end of the year. The book ($16.00, Gibbs Smith) includes 300 color illustrations.

Safety pledge: Never illegally pass stopped school bus
The Traffic Safety Coalition, a national nonprofit, has released a video called "All It Takes Is One" that stresses the importance of obeying a school bus stop sign. Some 16 million traffic violations involving a school bus stop sign happen nationwide every year, and a child can be injured or killed, according to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services.
The coalition is circulating a safety pledge never to illegally pass stopped school buses. To view the new video, visit www.trafficsafetycoalition.com
Dr. Viola Valletta, owner of Brain Balance Achievement Centers in East Liberty, will be hosting educational events next week. The center works with children ages 4 to 17 who have learning and behavioral problems like ADD/ADHD, Asperger's, and other conditions. On March 5, you can meet the Brain Balance staff at 1 p.m. The center will host an open house and book signing by Dr. Robert Melillo, neurobehavioral expert, 2:30 to 5:30. p.m. Melillo will give a parent lecture 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Carnegie Museum of Art Theater in Oakland.

A teenager was shot and killed on the Eastside and another man fatally stabbed in the neck at an airport hotel overnight, the first violent deaths recorded in the city this year.
The first death happened at about 12:30 a.m. Thursday when Indianapolis Metropolitan Police went to South Temple Avenue and Graydon Street on the city's Eastside on reports that a person had been shot, according to an IMPD report.
When police arrived they found a 16-year-old boy in the street with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead on the scene by emergency medical crews, the report says. ...

West Virginia Drops 70 on Clemson And……Tackles Orange Bowl Mascot (Video)
by Robert Littal | Posted on Thursday, January 5th, 2012
It is hard to score 70 on EA NCAA 12 on easy.
The thing is West Virginia probably could have scored a 100, but got a little bored after they score 63 mid way through the 3rd quarter.
Besides embarrassing Clemson, they also took out the Orange Bowl mascot Obie.

Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk has praised his side for reaching their first FIFA World Cup™ final in 32 years, but said their achievement counts for nothing yet. The Netherlands' 3-2 semi-final win over Uruguay has put them in Sunday's final where they will face either Germany or Spain at Johannesburg's Soccer City.
The Dutch are bidding to win their first FIFA World Cup title and having lost both the 1978 and 1974 finals, van Marwijk says the current side must win on Sunday if they want to write themselves into Dutch footballing history. "It is quite something we have achieved after 32 years, but we are not there yet and there is one more match to look forward to," he said.
The former Feyenoord coach has instilled a strong team spirit and has always insisted his team think only of their next game. "What happened before my time, with all due respect, I don't look at it," said the 58-year-old. "I did things my way, we play good football and sometimes beautiful football, but in the past we started winning and got over-confident. I try to tell my players there will always be a next match. I try to give them more stabilty by teaching them how to defend properly, I love attacking football, but we must have possession of the ball."
It is quite something we have achieved after 32 years, but we are not there yet and there is one more match to look forward to.
In the wake of their semi-final win, Van Marwijk revealed what it means for the success-starved Dutch to reach the final. "Of course I am very very happy and proud that such a small country is in the World Cup final, it is hard to understand," he said. "It is something I started working on two years ago and it's been a long process. Then, as now, you get atmosphere in the team and I told them 'don't let this chance get away'."
Van Marwijk praised his side for not panicking despite conceding a late Uruguay goal which made the score 3-2 with time almost up. "We started well and had excellent organisation then got the confidence to play a bit more freely and be a bit braver," said van Marwijk. "We lost grip in midfield, but at half-time we corrected that. Things went wrong every now and then, but we took the initiative a bit more and when we scored 2-1, I had full confidence. But opponents can all of a sudden score a goal and it becomes really exciting. We didn't make 4-1 or 5-1 but we survived and we were just so relieved in the dressing room."

No, they're not political animalsComment on this story
Durban - Posters that appeared on street poles around Durban on Tuesday, a day before the elections, had motorists scratching their heads, wondering whether there was a last-minute election drive from an animal welfare party.
The eye-catching posters, depicting a variety of endearing dogs and cats and inviting passers-by to "Upgrade a Life", were attached just below posters belonging to political parties contesting the elections. One poster was below a poster of ANC president Jacob Zuma smiling. When viewed together they created a picture of Zuma holding a little dog.
Zuma caused a stir in December 2012 when he told a KwaZulu-Natal rally that spending money on buying a dog, taking it to the vet and for walks belonged to white culture. This was not the African way, which was to focus on the family, he said.
"Even if you apply any kind of lotion and straighten your hair you will never be white," Zuma said at the time.
NSPCA spokeswoman Chris Kuch said the posters were a clever publicity campaign by local advertising agency The Hardy Boys, on behalf of the National Council of SPCAs, the governing body of the animal welfare organisations.
"As it turned out, those who thought this was a votes drive were barking up the wrong tree," she said.
Kuch said elections were generally a time when South Africans reflected on important issues.
"Our aim with this campaign is to remind voters that the welfare of all animals should be one of those issues.
"We saw the elections as the perfect opportunity to highlight an issue we feel has received less attention than it deserves in the run-up to these elections," she said.
The Hardy Boys said staff in Durban came up with the idea for the campaign and implemented it in less than two weeks. Kuch said the aim of the campaign was not to urge voters to boycott the elections.
"We believe everyone who is eligible to vote should exercise that right. But as they cast their votes we hope they spare a thought for the millions of animals who don't have a voice," she said
"We are not endorsing any political party. We hope more parties would include the welfare of all animals on their election manifestoes in future.
"Jobs, economic empowerment and the environment are tremendously important issues. But we believe strongly that how a nation treats its animals is as important. It's a measure of the country's maturity and compassion."
The Hardy Boys have clients across the country and internationally
The agency won a Loerie award in 2010 for a provocative poster campaign for the SA National Blood Service that featured a tattoo artist working on a tattoo that reads: "I don't give blood because I'm scared of needles."
The Hardy Boys spokesman Dale Tomlinson said the elections became the perfect "tactical opportunity" to highlight an important issue.
"At a time when so many parties and individuals are making promises about changing and bettering lives, we wanted to highlight one organisation with a proven track record worthy of the public's support. The welfare of our animals is even more important," he said.

p7-1126s - Fan issue[ Edited ]
06-20-2014 12:45 AM - edited 06-20-2014 12:47 AM
Running an p7-1126s - 24/7 for 2-1/2 years. Runs well. Not a lot of gaming Sometimes Photoshop.
I ran Speed Fan. It detects 3 fans, but only 2 are running.
One is at 0 rpm
Is this a problem?
Do I need to have this fixed at staples?
How many fans in this model?
It is making a noise like a fan is speeding up, and there is a clunky fan, but first I want to know if one of my fans is dead - without having to open the box.
Re: p7-1126s - Fan issue
Typically there are 2 fans, 1 rear case fan, and 1 CPU/heatsink fan. The internal PSU fan is not regulated by the motherboard. It's about time you opened the case with the power disconnected, and cleaned out all the dust. It will amass around any intake source. Be sure to remove the front cover.

Get Your Issue Now!
Whilst it pours buckets down here, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and uber-photographer duo, Mert and Marcus, have been soaking up the sun in Ibiza and posing for the best selfies ever, on Instagram. We couldn't be more jealous. We imagine you can probably go easy on the filters while holiday in with two of the worlds' most iconic models.
Meanwhile, in between some serious aunty duties, Cara Delevingne took 'Vogue sleep-gate' to Instagram and Tamara Ecclestone and Cheryl Cole both celebrated their birthdays with a ridiculous number of roses. Tamara settled on a Kanye-style wall of roses, while Cheryl went slightly lower key with a measly 310 stems for her 31st. Where can you even buy that many roses in one go?! Ooh Cheryl didn't half do well with her new boyfriend, Mr France (aka Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versin).
Elsewhere on Instagram, Love Magazine reminded us just how cute Leonardo DiCaprio used to be, Beyonce posted up a casual snap of her and Jay Z, the cast of Orange Is The New Black partied through NYC's 2014 Pride Parade, and Henry Holland's dog, Peggy, had a huge sartorial decision to make.

Schedule 6: A breastfeeding stay-at-home mom of a 3-month-old
Editor's note: This schedule is a combination (parent-led and baby-led) routine
Addie and I have fallen into a natural routine. She nurses every two and a half hours or so during the day and will sleep through the night without waking up to be fed.
5 a.m.: Addie wakes up. I lift her into bed with me where I nurse her in a side-lying position. She usually falls back asleep beside me, but if I get up then she will too.
8:30 a.m.: Nurse Addie again in the nursery and wash her face with a warm washrag, put on lotion, take off pj's, sing some songs, and have tummy time. I lay her in the crib in the nursery while I get dressed and beautified. This is Addie's most talkative part of the day — she babbles a lot.
10 a.m.: I carry Addie around with me while I pick up the house. She's usually ready to eat again by 10:30, so we take some time out to breastfeed and listen to the radio.
11:30 a.m.: Addie is getting sleepy — time for a mid-day nap in her swing. I eat lunch and do a load of laundry. Or I take her out and she sleeps in her car seat while we run errands in town. It's much easier to grocery shop while she sleeps.
Between 12:30 and 1 p.m.: She wakes up hungry and nurses again. We usually read a book or two after this feeding, then have playtime if she's up for it.
2:30 p.m.: She eats again, then goes into the front carrier for a while.
4:30 p.m.: She eats again. Addie takes a nap, but no sleeping past 6 p.m. or she won't sleep at night! Usually I vacuum the house because the hum of the vacuum always puts her to sleep. Then I lay out clothes for bedtime and get things ready for the bath (towels, tub, lotion, and hairbrush).
6 p.m.: My husband and I eat dinner. It's a team effort — one cooks and the other cleans. Usually I cook while he holds Addie, then he washes dishes while I give Addie a bath.
Between 6:30 and 7 p.m.: She has half a feeding (on only one breast) then bath time for 30 minutes. We give her a quick massage with lotion, put her pj's on, and brush her hair. She nurses on the other breast at about 8 p.m. My husband dims the lights and turns the television down.
8:30 p.m.: The whole family begins to wind down and relax. We read a book with Addie.
9 p.m.: My husband rocks Addie in the rocking chair and sings along to mellow music.
10 p.m.: She nurses again for the last time. After she nurses on one breast, we change her diaper and swaddle her. Then, while I'm nursing her on the other breast, my husband turns on the vacuum in the other room. I lay her in the bassinet beside our bed, and she falls asleep by about 10:30. I crawl into bed shortly thereafter, and we begin the whole routine again at 5 a.m. the next day.

NAHS head coach John Stroud watched North Panola during the first day of the Battle of the Best tournament, and his team got exactly what he saw, as the Lady Cougars jeopardized the Lady 'Dawgs undefeated record Tuesday night.
A tough defense, led by Jeneshia Jackson, found New Albany down after the first frame, 18-13, with Jazmine Spears only contributing with two points in that quarter. Once Jackson took a seat in foul trouble in the second, the Lady Bulldogs took over with a 15-0 run, 10 points from the freshman star.
"When they played their defense (with Jackson), they made us shoot from outside, and we didn't shoot that great. A lot of their success came from creating turnovers and making easy baskets," Stroud said.
North Panola's defense held West Union to only 27 points on Monday, but New Albany broke through in the second and carried that momentum into the third quarter, despite a great effort from Audrey Taylor, who finished with 26 points.
"They're very fast. We don't see those type of guards around here, and we weren't used to that type of quickness," Stroud said. "Jeneshia Jackson caused problems for us throughout, and they're a good team."
Micha Washington kept New Albany in the game with seven second quarter points, 12 overall. In the third, Paris Sanders came off the bench to keep the game in favor of New Albany.
"Paris Sanders had her best game of the season," Stroud said. "She played well, so our depth helped. Brittany Johnson had some quality minutes, and overall I'm real pleased."
Big games like the 65-55 win over North Panola are what Stroud thinks his team needs to move to the next level, as this is only the Lady Cougars second loss of the season.
"This was a good playoff atmosphere, but it's hard for us to play two good teams back to back," Stroud said. "We didn't play like we're capable of, but we still managed to win by 10 points. It was a good, quality win for us."
Spears finished with 24 points, while Sanders added 8.
New Albany will take their undefeated record to Itawamba next Tuesday night.
New Albany 66 Lafayette 46 (Monday night)
There was no rust for the Lady Bulldogs, as they took a 66-46 win over Lafayette Monday night.
Lafayette jumped to a quick 2-0 lead, but New Albany took over, led by freshman Jazmine Spears.
Spears scored 10 points in the first quarter to lead the Lady 'Dawgs, as they built a 20-15 lead. New Albany was up by as many 12 before the Lady Commodores went on a 11-4 run to close out the first quarter, led by Shaquilla Isom's nine points.
The Lady Bulldogs went on a run of their own after Lafayette cut the deficit to only four early in the second.
Up by 6 at the midway point of the frame, Kebrina Lucas started an 11-1 Lady 'Dawg run, which had six straight points from Spears.
Micha Washington paced the New Albany in the third quarter, scoring six points, including a score that put the Lady Bulldogs up 51-34 late in the quarter.
Washington scored 12 of her 14 points in the second half, as New Albany went up by 20 early in the fourth and led by as many as 22 points.
After taking a week off for Christmas, New Albany only committed 10 turnovers in the game.
This game was also a feature of two undefeated teams, as New Albany improved to 13-0, while Lafayette dropped to 11-1.
Isom led the Lady Commodores with 21 points, while Nikki McChristian scored 11 in the Lady 'Dores first loss of the season.
Spears finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds, while Washington scored 18 points with nine rebounds Kebrina Lucas also helped in the win scoring 10 points.

Called Xiami Loop, it's centred around virtual rooms where up to five people can take it in turns to mix tracks, impress the gathered audience of avatars, and win new fans.
With the emphasis on being social, the rooms resemble nightclubs (pictured above) where those gathered to listen can chat and rate the music mix (as 'strong' or 'weak'), dance with your baby [1], or follow along with the lyrics for a bit of private karaoke.
On a sidenote, a smaller music service named Duomi made this move first, last October launching its Duomi DJ site.
Announcing the launch of Loop on the Xiami company blog, a staffer wrote, "Welcome to the era of social DJs […] You can look forward to more themes, more avatars, and more fun to come." The service is free, and is tagged onto the original Xiami music-streaming site, which closely resembles Last.fm.
Xiaomi itself is free so long as users only ever stream music (pictured above), but downloads require payment via its own virtual currency. According to TechRice, Xiami has grown to have five million registered users since its inception a little over four years ago. Its main rivals include the hobby-based indie social network Douban, Tencent's (HKG:0700) QQ Music, and Baidu's (NASDAQ:BIDU) Ting.
But, in contrast to Tencent's and Baidu's efforts, not all of Xiami's music is licensed, leaving it at great legal risk. It currently relies on users uploading entire albums and then, insists its CEO, it'll get round to trying to license much of its music in due course. But that's far from complete.
By happy coincidence, I just signed up for Xiami a few weeks ago, and so I've played around with Xiami Loop just now and had a chance to browse a few rooms and see what the social DJs are playing. With all the music coming from Xiami's large – and admirably eclectic – collection, there certainly are plenty of tunes to spin on the decks.
Give Xiami Loop a go, though it requires free registration, with the option of third-party login via Renren or Sina Weibo.
With apologies to Madonna for that and the article title. ↩
