In preparation for Intel's upcoming 22nm processor refresh, Biostar wants to get the word out that each and every one of its 6 Series motherboards fully support native PCI-E Gen. 3 when paired with chipzilla's next generation Ivy Bridge CPUs. According to Biostar, each board is able to pass the signal test of PCI-E Gen. 3 technology without any hardware changes, unlike at least one other board maker who was accused of having "fake" PCI-E Gen. 3 support.
PCI-E Gen. 3 claims are sometimes a point of controversy, just as we saw in September when MSI called shenanigans on Gigabyte's implementation. MSI put together a boatload of slides calling Gigabyte out for using "fake" Gen. 3 switches and other non-compliant hardware. MSI then demonstrated that by plopping a 22nm CPU into a board that isn't fully PCI-E Gen. 3 compliant, it drops down to Gen 1. x8.
This is why Biostar is making it a point to announce that its 6 Series boards are up to snuff. The list of mainboards that fully support native PCI-E Gen. 3 is long and includes the following boards:

I'm not quite sure when it appeared, but this evening I noticed a link on the restore dialog box in Vista "Learn how to restore from backups created on Older versions of Windows", there are 32 and 64Bit versions. I considered using a Virtual Machine on Vista to read .BKF files made under Windows XP ... no need any more.

The download I linked to lets you restore BKF files made with NT backup.
If you have a VHD made with Complete PC Backup, you can restore it either by going into repair from the Vista Setup disk, or from the recovery environment (if you've configured it).

Currently the city's definition differs from that of state liquor laws.
The night's meeting proposed the adoption to the city ordinance to help reduce the potential for confusion.
"The description of one was covering the other," Councilor Nelson Durgin, says. "This could have been in violations of the ordinance. We've maintained a very judicious way of maintaining everything so that people are staying open. This ordinance will clarify what the differences between a restaurant, bar, tavern, and lounge should be."
Also, an ordinance to prohibit the operation of non-conforming quarries in a residential area was approved.
The issue came about from residents concerned about the impacts of the operation. The result of conversations surprising some councilors.
"It was vetted on both sides," Councilor James Gallant, says. "We pretty much walked the middle of the lines with two groups on each side and when they met in the middle both sides were really happy with the outcome. It's fantastic."
On another note, numerous committees are set to meet this week.
Tuesday the infrastructure committee will discuss the plans for the Cross Insurance Center traffic pattern from a public hearing held weeks ago, and the first meeting of the 2015 fiscal year budget will be held on Wednesday.

ANAHEIM – Rock classics from the 1980s filled the corridors of the GardenWalk mall Thursday night as more than 45 restaurants from Anaheim and surrounding communities offered samples of their finest menu items to more than 4,000 people who attended the 17th annual Taste of Anaheim.
The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce organizes the annual event to celebrate Anaheim's restaurant industry, which creates 36,000 jobs and generates about $900 million in annual sales, according to chamber officials.
Samples were provided from some of Anaheim's most well-known restaurants, including The Catch and Ruth's Chris Steak House, and from the newest, such as The Ranch Restaurant and Saloon.
A portion of the proceeds from the $45 ticket sales went to benefit the Anaheim Cops 4 Kids program.

6 tummy tuck alternatives
Dear seekers of a flat and fit stomach, there are a varieties of methods out there that will help you get your desired result, you just have to find the one that suits your needs best. In this article, we will present you some alternatives to a "tummy tuck", which is a majorly invasive surgery. We'll start by telling you a bit about it.
Abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" is a cosmetic surgery that removes the fat and skin in excess from the middle and lower abdomen with the purpose of making the abdomen flatter and the muscles tighter. This procedure is the most invasive and it involves surgery. The surgery takes on average anywhere from 1 to 5 hours, depending on its complexity, the desired results and the patient's initial condition. The risks usually associated to this procedure should be thoroughly taken into consideration. Usually, if the patients respect the plastic surgeon's instruction, they can avoid all major risks and secondary effects (except scars which are permanent and pretty ugly). But in some rare cases infection, blood clots, cardiac and pulmonary disorders or even thrombosis can be added on the postoperative effects list. One of the pros that doctors observe is that their patients usually become more self-aware and change their unhealthy lifestyles, in order to keep their fit body for as long as possible. They start exercising, they feel good about themselves and improve their relationships with friends, co-workers or members of the family. And in most of the cases, they change their whole family's approach towards food and nutrition. Everyone seems to benefit, but only a specialized cosmetic surgeon can recommend such a procedure, after carefully reviewing the risks versus the benefits. For those who from whatever reason are not eligible for this procedure, there are a number of less risky alternatives:
1. First one on our list is the well-known liposuction. Unlike its friend the "tummy tuck", a "lipo" is shorter, easier to recover from and leaves just a small scar. Also, it is less costly. Still not all people are the right candidate for liposuction. For example those having had multiple pregnancies, major fat loss or older people will not get the best result out of liposuction. The variables which are always considered by surgeons before deciding on a procedure or the other are the skin and the muscles. Unfortunately liposuction cannot repair damaged muscles, give back time or make shabby, stretched out skin look like it used to.
2. Emerging technologies have shown us that excess fat can be sent for a walk with a number of techniques and equipment. One such technique is CoolSculpting, which in more day-to-day language, can be called the freezing away of fat. Developed by scientists at the Center for Photomedicine at General Surgery Hospital in Virginia, this technique (unlike the Abdominoplasty) does not involve surgery, anesthesia, or any pain during or after you do it. The treatment does involve a certain number of session throughout which you can see your treated fat cells gone slowly but steadily. Again it does not solve the issues of stretched-out, excessive skin, damaged muscles or age.
3. Another non-invasive procedure is the cold laser therapy. Unlike the "tummy tuck", it is long-term since it requires some sessions before actually "melting out the fat". It works best when it is used in association with a second alternative treatment.
4. A new procedure on the rise is the reaction treatment ReFit, which is advertised as the solution for fat deposits, but also for the excess skin remaining after extreme weight loss. Through a vacuum applicator, which channels radiofrequency energy at the dermal layer, it is encouraged the production of collagen, which helps skin become tighter.
5. Another alternative technique to get that abs ready for summer is the Ultrasound Cavitation. With the help of ultrasound energy, doctors melt the fat inside the fat cells without affecting them. The excess fat will be eliminated on its own with the help of one's lymphatic system. Unlike Abdominoplasty, this treatment is regarded as painless and safe.
6. Last but not least, Lipodissolve helps you get rid of the unwanted fat, without modifying any of the excess skin due to pregnancy or age. It works through a series of injected mild enzymes and other medications which melt the fat.

Ideas for making tooth brushing fun
Comments (5)
I have to force brush every single time since first time. I want to hear the advice as well.
we used to have to "sit" on my son and brush his teeth when he cried lol! Now that he is old enough to understand and communicate- we just tell him that we have to kill the "cavity bugs" and we play "OOH I GOT ONE!" and "Let me try to catch this one it's a BEE!" he cracks up and laughs and laughs at it.

With DS1, DH made a game out of opening his mouth really wide and saying "Aaaaaahh!!" DS thought it was funny and would copy him. Then we'd brush his teeth and he thought it was part of the game, plus he likes the taste of the toothpaste. After we brush we let him do it himself

I'd just like to say that its not really corn flour, It's a special flour called "Harina PAN", made in venezuela and the canary islands. It's easy to find in any large chain supermarket, you can even buy it online. I've really enjoyed theese since the first time my BF made them (I always fear my BF in the kitchen!).
Best. Fried. Cheese. EVER. I had some string cheese in the back of the fridge to use up, but Tropical Queso Blanco would be ideal for this. I used Egg Beaters, it worked just fine. Definitely will make over and over again!
these are really enjoyable, filled with coleslaw.dani made these for us and they are tasty.

Alternatively dismissed as "trash," "smut", or "women's pornography," popular romance novels--and their readers--- are often criticized, marginalized, and mocked...Romance novels have much in common with traditional fairy tales: both are highly formulaic; invoke a fantasy realm; focus on the creation or reconciliation of a romantic pair; exist in an infinite variation of text that fall into distinct types; and are often dismissed as "trivial." With their prototypical marriage endings, criticisms are levied against both narrative forms for their failure to challenge the system of social relations and norms from which they arise.

Investors are kicking off a new trading week after jumping on a wave of strong corporate financial results Friday, propelling stocks higher for the third time in five days. The S&P 500 rose 1 percent on Friday. The Dow gained 0.7 percent and the Nasdaq climbed 1.6 percent. All three major indexes ended the week in the green and remain ahead for the year. Futures point to a lower opening today.
International stock markets were mixed today as anxiety over the downing of a Malaysian jetliner over Ukraine eased and investors shifted their focus to U.S. corporate earnings. Benchmark crude oil fell below $103 per barrel. The dollar fell against the euro and the yen.
Investors will have no major government economic reports to look at today. But Netflix will report quarterly financial results after the market closes. Tomorrow, the Labor Department will release June's Consumer Price Index and the National Association of Realtors will report existing home sales for June.
A new survey finds rising sales helped boost hiring and wages at U.S. businesses in the second quarter, and companies are optimistic into the fall. The National Association for Business Economics finds that 57 percent of the 85 respondents to the quarterly survey said sales at their companies rose in the April-June period. That was up from 53 percent in the first quarter.

It became an iconic drug that entered pop cultural folklore, but fluoxetine, marketed as Prozac, has put a smile on the faces of researchers for a purpose other than the treatment of depression. Studies carried out at UCLA have found that fluoxetine is a promising antiviral agent, particularly for enteroviruses that can be a cause of death in several parts of the world.

ATP searching for new leader following de Villiers' resignation
Published August 25, 2008
For the second time in four years, the ATP World Tour is looking for a new leader. Embattled Executive Chairman Etienne de Villiers, fresh off a resounding court victory for the men's circuit, announced last week he would step down at the end of the year.
"We will be working very, very quickly to bring somebody on board," said David Egdes, a Tennis Channel executive who is on the ATP board of directors.
The development emerges just as the ATP hopes to announce this week or next a new lead tour sponsor to replace outgoing Mercedes-Benz. The leading contender is insurance carrier Aviva, but talks with at least two other companies were occurring last week.
De Villiers' plan to remake the 2009 tour calendar — including demoting the Hamburg, Germany, event and having the top players compete in all of the elite tournaments — drew fire upon its disclosure. The Hamburg stop sued under U.S. antitrust law, and the case could have ripped the ATP apart, a prospect that led to criticisms of de Villiers for taking the situation so far.
But a jury earlier this month ruled in the ATP's favor, leaving the tour calendar for 2009 intact and de Villiers vindicated. Nonetheless, players have voiced opposition to his reign, and earlier this year, they voted off their three representatives on the board for, in part, going along with the new calendar.
Writing before the de Villiers announcement, Carlos Costa, the agent for Rafael Nadal, perhaps de Villiers' most outspoken player critic, said presciently in an e-mail, "Hopefully with a new management soon things will be better and easier."
In a statement, de Villiers, a former Walt Disney executive, explained his decision to leave the tennis scene in December. "I was tasked by the ATP Board, three years ago, to create a vision that would involve bold changes for our sport," he said. "I believe that has now been achieved. I believe we have delivered the biggest modernization of the ATP Tour since its inception, have attracted unprecedented levels of investment into men's tennis and have begun to feed the growing appetite for men's tennis globally, both in established and emerging markets."

HIS 306N • History Of Human Sexuality
38395 • Spring 2016
Meets MW 300pm-430pm GAR 0.102
(also listed as WGS 301)
History of Human Sexuality - Philippa Levine
The course will approach the history of sexuality from four angles: sexual behaviors (including but not limited to sexual orientation, prostitution, rape, use of pornography); sexual consequences (including but not limited to STDs, conception, birth control, abortion); sexual regulation (including but not limited to laws on abortion , obscenity, age of consent, and race-mixing; role of religion; role of the state) and sexual science (including but not limited to gender assignment and intersex; circumcision; sexology).
Course texts will include Robert Buffington, Eithne Luibhéid and Donna Guy, A Global History of Sexuality (Wiley, 2014) and Robert A. Nye, Sexuality (Oxford, 1999).
Assessment will be based on a series of assignments completed at regular intervals throughout the course, culminating in a research paper, the topic of which will be chosen in consultation with the instructor and TAs. Students will be asked to write a short paragraph weekly (ungraded) on the topics to be covered, will sit one (graded) in-class mid-term exam, and keep a journal which will detail their progress on the research paper due at the end of the semester. The journal will be submitted for grading every three weeks, which will allow the instructor and TAs to intervene early where necessary if a student is not meeting the standards of the course.
HIS 365G • Science, Ethics, & Society
38720 • Fall 2015
Meets MW 300pm-430pm UTC 3.112
This course explores the ethics of scientific experimentation on humans in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Nuremberg code of the late 1940s will act as a pivotal historical marker in the course, and students will be encouraged to ask how far the principles of informed consent to which it gave rise changed the scientific landscape. The course will consider both medical and scientific projects and will focus largely on case studies. These may include experiments conducted on convicts, children and slaves. The course will also explore chemical warfare testing and radiation experiments; compulsory sterilization, and deception. Students will study science not only as an enterprise with a history, but a history closely tied to prevailing social values.
Texts may include:
Susan Lederer, Subjected to Science: Human Experimentation in America Before the Second World War (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995).
Jordan Goodman, Anthony McElligott, and Lara Marks, Useful Bodies: Humans in the Service of Medical Science in the Twentieth Century (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003).
G. J. Annas and M. A., Grodin, The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code: Human Rights in Human Experimentation (Oxford University Press, 1992).
Grades will be based on a mixture of in-class exams and a final paper. The final paper will be worth 40% of the grade.

HIS 362G • World Of The Victorians
40060 • Spring 2014
Meets MW 330pm-500pm UTC 3.112
(also listed as EUS 346)
Britain in the Victorian age has been subject to a great deal of myth-making. It is often seen as a prudish age in which women were kept in the home and children were seen and not heard. This course will offer a more realistic view of the period, as well as exploring how such visions of the Victorian era came about in the twentieth century.
The course is intended to introduce students to the main contours of social and cultural British history both in Britain and in its burgeoning empire. It will examine the paradoxes and contradictions that characterize late eighteenth and nineteenth-century British society, and explore what the idea of "being British" might be said to mean at this time. 'The World of the Victorians' offers a broad survey of Victorian social and cultural history, and will include such topics as religion, sexuality, gender, class, family life, the countryside and the city, science and society, and much more.
The readings will largely consist of primary source materials, mostly available online.
Grading will be on the following basis, and will include +/- grades:three assignments/exams, weighted equally:
Paper on Class Readings – summarise, contextualise and analyse a selected primary reading
Mid-Term Exam
Final Exam – cumulative

HIS 365G • Science, Ethics, & Society
39585 • Spring 2012
Meets TTH 1230pm-200pm UTC 3.124
This course explores the ethics of scientific experimentation on humans (and to a smaller extent animals) in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Nuremberg code of the late 1940s will act as a pivotal historical marker in the course, and students will be encouraged to ask how far the principles of informed consent to which it gave rise changed the scientific landscape. The course will consider both medical and scientific projects and will focus largely on case studies. These will include experiments conducted on convicts (e.g. Leo Stanley's implantation of testicular matter into convicts at San Quentin, CA; drug company testing in Holmesburg Prison (PA) inmates); children (e.g. A. O. Neville's experiments in Australia with biological absorptionism; The 'Monster Study' in Iowa); and slaves (in the American South). The course will explore chemical warfare testing and radiation experiments (e.g. Porton Down; mustard gas testing in Australia; Bikini Atoll); compulsory sterilisation (e.g. Germany; Scandinavia, US), and active deception of subjects (Tuskegee syphilis experiment). Students will study science not only as an enterprise with a history, but a history closely tied to prevailing social values.
Texts may include:
Susan Lederer, Subjected to Science: Human Experimentation in America Before the Second World War (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995).
Jordan Goodman, Anthony McElligott, and Lara Marks, Useful Bodies: Humans in the Service of Medical Science in the Twentieth Century (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003).

(also listed as EUS 346)
This class will consider the course of British history over the twentieth century, a time in which Britain moved from considerable authority in the world to a much reduced status, politically and economically most especially. Since so much of Britain's power derived from its extensive imperial possessions, the British Empire is as central to this course as are considerations of domestic British history. Alongside this global decline, however, the twentieth century saw dynamic change in British society: in the mid-century years, Britain was transformed into a multi-racial and multi-ethnic society. It shaped one of the dominant welfare states of the century and dominated popular culture for at least a decade before reverting back to a deep conservatism in the 1980s under the long leadership of Margaret Thatcher.

This course will introduce you to Britain in the nineteenth century, and to the empire it was busy building at that time. It will examine the paradoxes and contradictions that characterize nineteenth-century British society, and explore what the idea of "being British" might be said to mean at this time.
Required Texts
We will be relying for most of our readings on primary sources available online and detailed in the course outline below. They are mostly quite short.
There is also one required text for this class and you may choose between buying a copy or accessing it online. The textbook is primarily a background text for reference, providing additional information and clarification. Regard it as a useful tool for verifying facts and expanding your knowledge of particular topics. It will not provide sufficient material for you to earn good grades, particularly in the case of your term paper.
The text you will need to acquire is:
Sally Mitchell, Daily Life in Victorian England (1996) – this is available both as a paperback book and online through UT's database collections. It is part of the database entitled "Daily Life Online".
When you click this link, the system will prompt you for your UT information, without which you cannot access this material.
Each chapter is divided into a series of sections and you will need to click on each link separately to read the entire chapter
Course Mechanics
Please ensure you have turned off any pagers, cell phones, or other noise-emitting devices before coming to class. If you disturb a class period with any such device, you will be required to leave for the remainder of the day's class. A second such disturbance will reduce your final grade in the course by a full grade fraction.
This class uses Blackboard, a Web-based course management system with password-protected access at http://courses.utexas.edu. If you need support in using Blackboard, contact the ITS Help Desk at 475-9400, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Course Website
The Blackboard site for this course contains a copy of the syllabus, advice about writing, exam-taking and a breakdown of minimum grading requirements, as well as an FAQ. Any class announcements will be posted to this site. It will be your responsibility to check the website frequently to make sure you know what's going on.
Assignments and Grading Policies
Grading will be on the following basis, and will include +/- grades
Assessment in this course is based on two mid-term in-class exams and one research paper. Each is worth 30% of the total grade. The remaining 10% of your grade will reflect participation in the class.
Your research paper will be due on Monday December 6. For this assignment, you will write a letter of about eight pages (double-spaced, font no larger than 12 point), taking on the character of someone from any time in the period we are studying, that is, from the nineteenth century but not beyond. You may choose to be an outsider visiting Britain or one of its colonies, a Briton or a colonial subject either in your own country or in another country under British authority. You could, for instance, be a British colonial officer or a member of a British colonial family in a colony, or visiting relatives and friends in Britain. You could be someone from a British colony observing British society (as a visitor, a student, a dignitary on a state tour, as examples) or observing the workings of colonialism in your own society. Equally you could be British in Britain. You can be someone who really existed, or someone you have imagined. Whatever characterization you choose, you are writing a letter perhaps to a friend, a family member, a business partner -- whoever you choose -- describing where you are, the events of the day, the customs and home life of people, the politics and whatever else strikes you. You will, of course, need to do some research outside the lectures and textbooks in order to do a decent job on this exercise. Please make use of my office hours (or make an appointment if these are unsuitable for you) to discuss subject matter, further reading, and any other questions you might have. In addition to the eight pages of text, you should append a bibliography of sources that have helped you with the research. The term paper should also acknowledge all citations in footnotes or endnotes. If you prefer to use APA in-text citations, that's fine. Just make sure you are consistent with the citation method you adopt.
All papers must be typed double-spaced. You may use either one or both sides of the paper, as you prefer. Please paginate your work and clip the paper together with a paper clip or staple. No assignments may be sent by e-mail; they must be presented in hard copy.
Assignments handed in late will be marked down by a grade fraction for each 24 hour period beyond their due date and time, and no papers will be accepted more than 48 hours beyond their original due date. It is important to know this, since you will automatically fail the course unless you complete every assignment and exam.
In grading your assignments, I look at depth of analysis (do you really try to think carefully about the implications of the readings, or do you simply summarize or state the most obvious points about the texts?), ability to synthesize, insights from a variety of different texts, and quality of writing.
Ensure that, if you are modeling your response on someone else's work, you cite that authority and acknowledge your use of the work. If you're not sure if you're getting it right, then ask for help.
The Undergraduate Writing Center (FAC 211, 471-6222, http://uwc.fac.utexas.edu/) offers free, individualized, expert help with writing for any UT undergraduate, by appointment or on a drop-in basis. Any undergraduate enrolled in a course at UT can visit the UWC for assistance with any writing project.
Academic Conduct
Students are required to uphold the standards of academic honesty set by the University of Texas at Austin. The standards and regulations for scholastic dishonesty are available online at: http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sjs/ scholdis.php.
All work must be your own and all cases of plagiarism will automatically result in a failing grade for the course as a whole. There will be no deadline extensions or incomplete grades unless the instructor is presented with a legitimate excuse (medical, etc.) in advance of the due date.
Students with Disabilities
If you have a documented disability and require academic accommodations, please contact Services for Students with Disabilities at 512-471-6259 (voice) or 1-866-329-3986 (Video Phone) as soon as possible. If you have accommodations for exams, please remember that it is your responsibility to remind the instructor of any testing accommodations five business days before each exam.
Religious Holy Days
By UT Austin policy, you must notify me of your pending absence at least fourteen days prior to the date of observance of a religious holy day. If you must miss a class, an examination, a work assignment, or a project in order to observe a religious holy day, I will give you an opportunity to complete the missed work within a reasonable time after the absence.

let the wild rumpus start! LbNA # 51690 (ARCHIVED)
|Placed Date
|Dec 9 2009
|San Juan
|116 W. Main Street, Farmington, NM
This box was originally planted in the Farmington public library but we only had permission for a limited time. We were excited to get permission to replant this indoor box at Andrea Kristina's bookstore Kafé on Main Street, but alas they closed their doors December 2012. So once again this box has moved.
To Find this box, go to Farmington New Mexico's old downtown main street and find a lovely place called Studio 116 on the north side of the street, close to the cross road at Orchard St. Store hours vary, not open on Sundays. This box will move around the store as displays change, so just look for a silver metal box among the beautiful art. GOOD LUCK AND let the Wild Rumpus Start!
//FYI: Stamp is handcarved and oversized.//
**Special Thanks to - Karen Ellsbury my old co-worker, the owner of this establishment, and award winning artist. She is open to help however she can.

Have you been wondering where Menu Plan Monday went? You might just be wondering why the number of posts have decreased recently. Well, the answer to both questions is priorities! I love the blog, and I love to write; however, sometimes, the blog has to take a back seat to just simple every day life. Our simple every day lives have been hectic this month, and the craziness isn't quite over yet. In all honesty, it is all I can do to get us fed, clean clothes on our bodies, and keep the house picked up and ready for the comings and goings that are taking place right now.
Now, before you think I'm complaining, I must say we are so BLESSED to have the busy schedule. Yes, I grow weary. Yes, I cry and get overwhelmed with all that is on our plate during this short month. Yes, I try to quit. However, I must testify to God's grace and faithfulness as He fulfills each need and continuously strengthens me for the next task. God's grace has been sufficient in each and every moment of this month, and I'm grateful for His word being made true in my life.
With all of that said, I'm back to menu planning …
Breakfasts available to us this week: Granola, pancakes, muffins, eggs, fruit, toast, smoothies
Lunches available to us: almond butter & jelly, minestrone soup, leftovers
Snacks: celery, carrots, nuts, hummus, crackers, fruit
- Monday: Dinner with Koboldts
- Tuesday: Chicken and Veggy Pizza – use up items on hand
- Wednesday: Cottage Pie
- Thursday: Lemon Chicken Pasta Salad – found this through Organizing Junkie's weekly MPM. Food for My Family linked up! So glad because I'm really struggling for inspiration this week!
- Friday: Travel to D'burg- on the road
- Saturday: In D'burg – fishing! whoo hoo!
- Sunday: Breakfast for dinner w/ Green Smoothies
What's on your menu? This post is linked to Orgjunkie.com

I have been from one flu to another flu.
I am JUST coming out of my 2nd flu in one month. Needless to say, I have a weak immune system and that is why I have been back to PA for 8 months now; to repair my health and go live in NYC and then probuly LA (or close to to... I MISS CALI!!!)
I don't really feel like going over my prognosis... it doesn't heal me so why talk about it.
you are having health issues and wish to have advice. BELIEVE ME I HAVE DONE IT ALL
It isn't grim; I am 90-95% better and NOTHING can EVER stop me from my destiny, art, life and love.
I am stronger now then Ever.
So here I am, baring my wrists.

Jennifer Keyte is an accomplished journalist, newsreader, presenter, MC and guest speaker and brings a sophistication and glamour to all her roles.
After beginning an Arts degree at La Trobe University, Jennifer realised her passions lay in the area of journalism. She had no hesitation in accepting a cadetship with radio station EON-FM in 1980. In a matter of months, she had proved her ability and was a graded journalist moving to 3XY, where she worked as a journalist and wrote and read news bulletins.
In 1982, Jennifer made the move from radio to television, joining Network Ten. Here, Jennifer gained invaluable experience, working in all major areas of journalism including state politics, crime, courts and general news.
As she honed her skills as a journalist, Jennifer was given the opportunity to write and present news bulletins, beginning with the early morning program, 'Good Morning Australia'. It wasn't long before Jennifer was regularly presenting the weekend news.
Jennifer was enticed to join the Seven Network in 1987, where new owner Christopher Skase saw her as the lynchpin of the network's success. She began reading the main evening news bulletin with Glenn Taylor, and eventually went solo and slowly began to increase the station's flagging news ratings.
Jennifer also presented the news on 'Tonight Live' with Steve Vizard. The success continued until Jennifer decided to leave the Seven Network.
In 1996, Jennifer made an exciting career change, joining the Nine Network to host 'Good Medicine' and a one off series 'Moment of Truth', along with hosting various specials.
Seven and half years later in August 2003, Jennifer returned to the news desk at Seven Melbourne to take up the position of weekend newsreader. Jennifer described the move as a "wonderful homecoming" and that she never lost her passion for news.
"It's in your blood," Jennifer said. "I have to say I found it very hard watching big stories break on the TV. I wanted desperately to be part of it again. It just bubbles away inside you."
Many familiar faces around the Seven Newsroom felt the same, with the studio crew draping the room with steamers on Jennifer's first trial run at the Seven News desk - many of whom had worked alongside Jennifer during the 80s and early 90s.
In 2004, Jennifer also hosted Seven's reality series 'Medical Rookies', a program that followed the country's newest doctors on their first days on the job.
With the joy of motherhood and working weekends, time is limited, but Jennifer admits that her role with Seven suits her down to the ground and gives her the week to be Mum to her two boys James and Alexander.
When the opportunity allows, Jennifer is a keen theatre goer, a passionate Essendon supporter and enjoys travel, cycling, walking and reading. Jennifer is committed to contributing to society and gives her time in her chosen charities Royal Women's Hospital and Breast Cancer Institute of Australia. She is also a World Vision sponsor.
Jennifer is also the Patron of the Good Friday Appeal, a role she feels excited and privileged to hold.
