There's this new-age idea that we should all be completely in the present at all times, ignoring the past and the future. Some people go so far as to parrot phrases like "the present is the only thing that really exists", or "live every day like it's your last!". I disagree. I think that there's value in considering all three time periods, as long as they're looked at differently. The problem is that most people treat them in the same way.
Take the past. Most people look at the past as something that could somehow be changed if they wished hard enough. They don't actually believe that, but they act like it, saying things like, "If only I had _____". A better way to see the past is like a series of completed experiments. Everything, from before you were born until the moment you read the previous sentence is now set in stone and cannot be changed. The value we can get from this is to learn from our mistakes, failures, and pure observation.
It's possible to live in the past, to rehash things that happened and associate their greatness or tragedy with the present. We are the product of nothing but the past, but on the other hand the past is only a series of experiments. We aren't bound to make the same mistakes, and we aren't guaranteed the same successes, especially if we can't emotionally distance ourselves from what has happened, and rationally extract all of the available lessons from it.
The past is also available to help you keep your emotional well being. Your primary source of happiness should be from the present, but if you can forgive and forget slights and remember the great things that have happened in your life, you'll have a well of positive emotions to draw upon when times are more difficult.
Two practical examples that we've all seen people get caught up in:
-- Breaking up with someone. The only value to be extracted from this situation is to think about what you could have done better, in the context of the relationship. That's obviously not the only factor in the relationship or the breakup, but it's probably the only one that's actionable. A breakup is a good time to think about what you did well, and what you did poorly. Most people spend their attention pining or blaming, but neither of these things will do any good. I know that this approach is easier said than done, and that no one is actually going to be a complete rational robot, but aiming in that direction can help.
The time is spent and the chips have fallen, so there's no point in regretting a relationship or wishing that the other person (or you) had done something differently. Instead, think about all the great times you had, the ways you grew as a person, the lasting positive impact you have had on each other, and use those memories as your lasting impression of the relationship.
-- Falling from grace. Call it high school football star syndrome. This is where someone had some period of glory which eventually ended, but they're unable to let it go. It's the definition of living in the past. I listened to a Radio Lab episode last night about a guy who had a small part in the movie Analyze This. He wasn't able to get any other parts after that, but he continued to portray himself as some sort of movie star, substituting past success for current achievement. He even moved to a small town, presented himself as a celebrity, and then gave everyone parts in his "new movie". When it came time to pay the crew, he skipped town.
The benefit you've gained from your past actions is the experience that you can use to shape the present. Try to seek glory only through present achievement, not from past actions or even future actions.
Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that the present is the only time exists, it is the place where you apply leverage. You have no control over the past, and your control over the future is only realized by acting now in the present moment. Besides being the time where action takes place, it's also the time to evaluate yourself. Don't beat yourself up or give yourself too much credit for stuff you've already done, and don't pat yourself on the back for the great things you'll do in the future. Do great things right now. Do normal things, and do them greatly. The only way you judge yourself in the present should be, "Am I doing the best I can do right now?".
Doing your best in the moment isn't just for work. It's for appreciating the moment you're living, the people that are around you, and the setting you're in. Doing this poorly means that you're focused on the past or fantasizing or worrying about the future. Doing it well means that you're accepting the present and responding to it as best as possible. That might mean working hard, but it might mean focusing all of your attention on whoever you're talking to, listening, and responding when the time comes.
A critically important concept is that how you act in the present is also how you will act in the future. Studies have been done that show that people tend to think that in the future they will procrastinate less, be more focused, have more time, and accomplish more. The reality is that however you are acting now is how you are most likely to act in the future. Your habits now are the habits you will likely have in the future. That doesn't mean that you can't change, but it does mean that if you aren't working on changing right now, you probably won't in the future either.
I see my duty to the future as being two things. In the near future, I'd like to provide myself the best possible "present". In other words, I understand that my leverage comes from the present, and that things I do now will affect what that present is for Future Tynan. For example, I save money and live below my means so that in the future I can focus not on paying my bills, but on living and working in the present. I eat healthy foods now so that my mind will stay sharp for as long as possible. I meditate, work out, floss, learn languages, sleep well, and do a million other things to increase my capabilities and thus give myself more leverage in the future.
Longer term, I think about how my trajectory will trace through the future depending on decisions I make. With my current habits, will I leave a lasting mark on the world and make it a better place, much as people before me have? If I tweak this particular habit, will I be able to compound the amount of impact I'm able to have? Will the things that I do in the present accumulate to become something valuable for myself and others, or are they relative wastes of time?
The future may never come for me. I may be hit by a bus tomorrow. But there's no point in planning for that event, so I plan for the most likely event: that I will continue to live a life and be given roughly the same good luck and bad luck as anyone else in my situation. I steel myself a bit for the worst case scenarios, keep an eye out for excellent opportunities that may cross my path, but mostly I plan for the average and try to improve what that will look like.
I think of goals as moving targets, not so much fixed destinations, but rather a point to which I can draw a path from where I am. Goals and circumstances change, but by having them I'm able to plan a few steps in advance and try to make my work more efficient.
The future is for planning purposes, not for living, though. I take my pleasure only in the present, in both the great experiences I have, and in the struggle and examination of working hard and the challenges I face. It's dangerous to plan to be happy later, because if you're not happy now, you probably won't be then either.
To wrap this all up, I think that all three moving phases of time are important, but they have to be treated uniquely. Learn from your past, execute and enjoy in the present, and plan for the future.

Nice post.
It's funny, time is completely relative. The past is nothing more than a "present moment" which has passed, and the future is a "present moment" which has not happened yet. They're only the past and the future when compared to our current experience of the "present moment" :)
Tynan, I have had the desire to travel for as long as I can remember. My life has been surrounded by exploration and starting anew. I grabbed your book off of Amazon last year and it was perfect timing. Just earlier that month, I was sitting in my dungeon of an office in Los Angeles and thinking -- why the HECK am I here? All of my work is internet based. Why can't I do this at a cafe in Paris or a farm in Argentina?
I've been prepping for the last six months. My 34th birthday is this week and I'll be buying my transportation to Europe!
I started a blog several months ago to track my journey: Forever a Wanderluster.
The phrase "the present is the only thing that really exists" has a degree of truth to it. The past is a set a memories in the mind and the future is creative illusion based on your experience. The present, the right at this very moment, is the really the only thing that exist. But one should completely ignore past and future as you correctly explained.
Another excellent post, Ty. I completely agree about the "live every day as if it was your last"-advice being terrible. I had a friend in Mexico who lived like that. He had convinced himself that the world was going to end on December 20, 2012 and therefore didn't save a penny, didn't bother trying to accomplish anything of lasting value, didn't bother building personal relationships, etc. As a result, his "present" gradually became worse and worse. And now, some weeks after the "end date," he looks sillier than ever.
If yourself or your surrounding never changes, it really doesn't mean anything if you can conceptualize time or not.
The best way I've heard of this explained is from, surprisingly, from David Deangelo. Focus on the present so you can make the present future better. Also to everyone here read the slight edge by Jeff Olson, it really points out how important it is for one to take small, actions now that overtime will compound to amazing successes
Totally agreed. I find there's a lot of value in the advice to "stay present" but when pressured for exactly what that means the new age gurus tend to get a little bit squeamish - because, frankly, it doesn't lead to a desirable life. It's foolish to thing that we can accomplish great things without goals. I think the lesson to be taken out of it is to focus on appreciating the present, but not at the expense of the past and the future.
Tynan, I've been following your blog for... wow years I guess, but I rarely have commented. I felt compelled to comment on this one, you distilled a lot of things I agree with. I think the "new age" focus on the present moment comes largely from the book "The Power of Now" which is a great book, and I think focusing on the present moment is stressed a lot because so many people fail to do that, so its a good place to start. But your right that the past and the future should not be completely ignored either.
I like the way you describe the past as a set of completed experiments, I don't think I have heard anyone else put it that way before, that is a good way of explaining it. I also especially liked the way you said "It's dangerous to plan to be happy later, because if you're not happy now, you probably won't be then either." That is one of those valuable lessons that I have to keep teaching myself over and over again.
One of my overarching goals in how I present myself is to be consistent. Although the relationships I have with my family, friends, acquaintances, and random people on the internet is always going to be different, I try to be the same person with all of those groups. I think authenticity is important, and this consistency is a sign of authenticity.
Try as I might, though, people who read my stuff online and then meet me in person are consistently surprised that I'm actually a happy guy who jokes around a lot and is more human than robot. I see why people expect me to be different, though. My writing tends to be serious and I'm always talking about habits or rules or working hard.
Although all of this rigidity is a big part of my life, it's also just the foundation. From the rigid parts of my life I'm able to get a tremendous amount of work done, keep myself healthy, and move towards my goals. But there's also a lot that it can't do. Rigidity doesn't build relationships or spark creativity, two important parts of life.
I think you learn a lot about someone when you see what he does when there's nothing he has to do. And I think by changing what you do when you have nothing to do, you can change what sort of person you are. I design my life to have as few as possible externally-dictated things that I absolutely have to do, and I create systems to fill that void. Every day I have sixteen hours ahead of me, and no one to tell me what to do in that time except myself.
Being spiritual is about being connected to the energy of the universe, and when you have this connection, you can 'see' the past and future. This is how many spiritualists can see the future. I used to be able to see the future too.
In my own journey through spirituality I was able to see people's past and future, but my experiences taught me that the future is never set in stone, that what's real for us today may change tomorrow when new information comes to us or new events occur.
Because the future can change, things that I saw happening to people in the future would either happen the same way I saw them, or a bit different to how I saw them, or not happen at all.
I experienced enough to learn that this connection with the universe is real, and that you can gain a great deal of insight from it. I also learned that our future is a multitude of possibilities, but if we can SEE it in our mind, then it's a future that's possible to us. If we hold on to that vision in our minds, then we can move forward while taking advantage of opportunities that bring us closer to that vision.
And before you know it, the future that you once imagined has become your present day reality.

LONDON (AP) — Sharon Osbourne says she had a double mastectomy after learning she carries a gene that increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
Mrs. Osbourne told Hello! magazine, "I didn't want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me."
The 60-year-old "America's Got Talent" judge, who had colon cancer a decade ago, said that without the surgery, "the odds are not in my favor."
She added: "It's not 'pity me'; it's a decision I made that's got rid of this weight that I was carrying around."
The magazine went on sale Monday.
Mrs. Osbourne, husband Ozzy, and children Jack and Kelly became rock's most famous clan thanks to reality show "The Osbournes" a decade ago.
Jack Osbourne, 26, recently was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

The owners of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls have agreed to may millions of dollars to states after a data breach placed customers' personal financial information at risk.
TJX will pay $9.75 million to North Carolina and 40 other states, and increase security so the breach can't happen again.
North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper says the breach happened when criminals were able to hack into the company's computer system and steal tens of millions of credit and debit card numbers. Copper says TJX did not have enough safeguards in place to protect consumers from the attack.
Under the agreement, the company must upgrade wireless systems in stores to make them less vulnerable to hackers, use firewalls and other measures to separate consumers' personal information from the rest of its computer system, and implement proper security password management for parts of the computer system that store, process or transmit that personal data.

One person is confirmed dead while a second remains in critical condition due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. Both were found unconscious inside their home early Sunday afternoon.
A third resident at the Vista Peak Apartments, located in the area of Academy and Galley, started developing a headache, and put two and two together after his carbon monoxide detector went off. The Colorado Springs Fire Department was called to the complex. Once on scene, firefighters began checking other buildings and came across one where numerous alarms were going off. The two unconscious victims were discovered inside one of the units.
CSFD then called a HAZMAT team to the scene to help with checking carbon monoxide levels. A number of residents had to be evacuated.
Hours later, firefighters returned to the same complex on new reports of carbon monoxide.
Sarah Woods told 11 News that after learning that one of the apartment residents had died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, her neighbor bought her a carbon monoxide detector that very afternoon.
When Woods fired up her furnace, the brand new detector immediately sounded the crucial alarm.
"If my neighbor had not bought me that, me and my family would've been dead," Woods said.
Woods and her two kids rushed outside and called 911. The carbon monoxide levels were determined too high for the family to stay there Sunday night.
The Fire Department tells 11 News that the tragedy Sunday is sadly not uncommon at this time of year. The department is flooded with calls about carbon monoxide after the first cold snap of the year, as it is generally the first time in months that heaters and furnaces get turned back on. Investigators believe the complex's heaters were the culprit Sunday.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, and its symptoms can start out mild, such as simply having a headache. It's critical if you live in a home where carbon monoxide could be a risk, that you have a detector. They can be purchased for about $25 at Home Depot. Experts recommend a detector that can both be plugged in and operate on a battery, in case one of the power sources is knocked out.
Besides headaches, other symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include dizziness, nausea, vomiting and chest pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unconsciousness and death can occur with high levels of carbon monoxide. Click here for more information.

The ongoing campaigns in Arumeru East by-election is a replica of cheap politics, which we have witnessed in this country for the past few years. From Tarime to Busanda, Igunga and now to Arumeru East, our politicians have failed to market their policies and instead, they have chosen to invest in mudslinging, lies and chaotic politics.
This is what we have so far witnessed in Arumeru East constituency. It's the same story we witnessed in Igunga last year. No party has managed to market its economic and social policy, which shows how these policies would solve people's problems.
How does the connection with Nyerere's family help the people of Arumeru East constituency whose main problems include land and poverty? How does the history of Dr Slaa's move to abandon the priesthood help the people of Arumeru East?
The by-elections have become a platform for mudslinging, chaotic politics, lies and a show of how some of our politicians have gone bankrupt in terms of ideas. For any keen observer, it's obvious that our main political parties have failed to market their economic policies.
We at the Guardian on Sunday do believe that the time has come for our politicians to shun their dirty politics and start competing with clear economic and social policies. There's no justification to use Nyerere's name or family to win an election or using those personal issues as the main agenda.
Tanzanians are not ready to consume personal issues and therefore those whose preaching is 'pillow talk' should be condemned at any cost. Tell voters how you will help them to access clean and safe drinking water, a commodity they have missed for fifty years of independence.
Tell them how will they get enough land to cultivate crops or how they will access better health care at affordable cost. Remember the popular slogan by former US president Bill Clinton during the campaign in 1992, "it's the economy, stupid!' "It's the economy, stupid" was a phrase in American politics widely used during Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign against George Bush.
For a time, Bush was considered unbeatable because of foreign policy developments such as the end of the Cold War and the Persian Gulf War. The phrase, a slight variation on a phrase created by Bill Clinton's campaign strategist James Carville, refers to the notion that Clinton was a better choice because Bush had not adequately addressed the economy, which had recently undergone a recession.
Clinton's campaign used the recession to successfully unseat George Bush. In March 1991, days after the ground invasion of Iraq, 90 percent of polled Americans approved of President Bush's job performance. Later the next year, Americans' opinions had turned sharply; 64 percent of polled Americans disapproved of Bush's job performance in August 1992.
We are therefore calling for all political parties currently competing in Arumeru East constituency to market their policies instead of verbal attacks targeting personal issues, which can't bring bread and butter on the table. We are a nation of 44 million people, but our problems are the same especially in the rural areas.
Our biggest problem is still poverty, and since we trust politicians to lead us through the theory and principles of the social contract, we therefore expect these politicians to market their economic agendas.

If you follow my Recommended Reading lists, which I think has morphed into @NunziaReads or something, you may have noticed I've been just a tad obsessed with Rand Paul lately. Rand is the curly haired, opthamologist son of physician and Congressman Ron Paul who just won the Republican nomination for a senate seat in Kentucky.
It's kind of significant because Rand is a Tea Party darling, apparently because they don't know he's a libertarian who opposes the Patriot Act, although his immature, sophomoric, libertarian beliefs about the role of government in policing discrimination may completely make up for that little slip. But Rand slamdunked Trey Grayson in the GOP primary — and Grayson was backed by Kentucky's other senator, Minority Leader Mitch "How Many Chins Do I Have" McConnell and Darth Cheney. Ouch. That musta hurt.
See, Ron Paul, when he was running for president in 2008, kinda had the inside track on nuttiness and the kind of grassroots nutty support that Dick Armey and FreedomWorks can only dream about. After America elected a black guy president, though, the tax cuts for the rich crowd tried to co-opt the Paul gang and really only succeeded in pissing off the Paulites.
Until Rand decided to run for Senate. Rand focused his entire campaign on the Teabaggers (and the Paulites) and somehow managed to convince both crowds that they were all the same.
But then, after he won, he decided to talk about what being a libertarican actually means. And it means — opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Now, those of us who pay attention already knew that. So right after the election, when poor old Rand decided to go on the most political television show he could think of, naturally, the host of that show – Rachel Maddow — asked him about it. It did not go well for the eye doctor.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
That was on Wednesday. By Thursday, poor little Rand was having to run all over the place swearing up and down he hated racism and would, in fact, have voted for the Civil Rights Act, proving, among other things, that Rand Paul is a lying sack of shit who'll say whatever he has to say just like all the other politicians so arrogant that they think they know more than anybody else and will be able to save the country, which, of course, is pretty much all politicians.
It also turns out that big bad Rachel scared the bejesus outta poor little Rand, so much so that he says it was a mistake to go on her show and he won't be doing it again anytime soon. And, since he knows his followers likely didn't see his piss-poor performance on Maddow, he lied about it.
It was a poor political decision and probably won't be happening anytime in the near future. Because, yeah, they can play things and want to say, 'Oh you believed in beating up people that were trying to sit in restaurants in the 1960s.' And that is such a ridiculous notion and something that no rational person is in favor of. [But] she went on and on about that.
Actually, she didn't. But now a whole bunch of Teabaggers believe that she did, just because their precious little Rand said so. But hell, he had to say something. Even Jim Demented was concerned with Rand's "this is the hard part about believing in freedom" bullshit about the Civil Rights Act.
See, Rand thinks business is king. And business should be allowed to do whatever it wants. Refuse to serve you because you're black? Absolutely. Dump raw sewage into the water supply? Of course. Not even think about safety for employees or customers? Certainly. Regulations, schmegulations. Do away with 'em all.
Here's how Chris Bowers sees it over at Open Left:
There has been a lot of talk about Rand Paul's view on the Civil Right's act today. But, in addition to race, as long as the company in question does not receive any public funds, here are some more reasons that Rand Paul–and his supporters–thinks it should be legal for the owner of a private company to fire you:
- Not being the same religion as the boss
- Not having sex with the boss
- Having children, or not having them
- Not liking the same sports teams as the boss
- Not voting for different political candidates than the boss
- Not eating the same food than the boss
- Not liking different colors than the boss.
Basically, any reason at all.
Furthermore, another key point is that Paul's supporters seem to think the problem is not that Paul holds these views, but that he expressed them in public.
Gee, he'd fit right in in Beijing, doncha think? Or the 1800s, those dismal days when business owners owned their employees too. No protections. Long hours, shitty pay. Benefits? No. But that's the world Rand Paul wants.
And even if Rand Paul isn't the racist idiot he sounds like — and is just a garden variety idiot — then his rhetoric sure does appeal to the real racist idiots (although, of course, the ones who run the Republican party know better than to say it out loud).
Which seems to have been a huge part of the problem with little Rand. Seems his supporters just thought he shoulda kept his mouth shut and not tell anybody what he really thinks. Here's Doug Mataconis of Outside the Beltway:
I think the decisions are wrong, but they are the law of the land. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is not going to be repealed, and it serves no purpose for Paul to let himself be dragged into a debate about it.
Which is the main reason I cringed when I watched this unfold last night. It's fine for libertarian bloggers to debate this issue among themselves, but a politician can't allow himself to be trapped into a debate where he ends up defending segregated lunch counters in an election in the South.
Yeah, that would really suck. To have to defend segregated lunch counters because you fucking believe it's OK to have them.
I wonder what little Rand thinks about this. In Alabama somewhere (of course), a teacher is on the verge of being fired. Frankly, I don't quite understand why the motherfucker hasn't been fired already, but then, it is Alabama, and all the little Paulites and Palinites there probably think it would be wrong to fire someone just because he explained to his geometry students how to set up an assassination shot for President Barack Obama in his classroom. Joseph Brown, a senior in the unnamed Corner High teacher's class:
He was talking about angles and said, 'If you're in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president.'
Isn't that special. But if you should be able to bar black folks from sitting down at a table in your restaurant, it seems only natural that it'd be OK to use assassinating the president as a way to explain geometry to high school students.
Right, Rand?
Freedom. In Rand Paul's world, that's just another word for fuck you.

Lyme Disease-Carrying Ticks and Western Lizards

Lyme Disease-Carrying Tick Numbers
Plummet in Absence of Western Lizards
California areas without lizards had significant drop in tick populations
Areas in California where Western fence lizards were removed had a subsequent drop in numbers of the ticks that transmit Lyme disease, scientists have discovered.
"Our expectation was that removing the lizards would increase the risk of Lyme disease, so we were surprised by this finding," said ecologist Andrea Swei, who conducted the study while she was a Ph.D. student in integrative biology at University of California, Berkeley.
"We found that the result of lizard removal was a decrease in infected ticks, and therefore decreased Lyme disease risk to humans."
Results of the study, which have been published in the Proceedings of The Royal Society B, illustrate the complex role the Western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) plays in the abundance of disease-spreading ticks.
"This study demonstrates the complexity of infectious disease systems, and how the removal of one player--lizards--can affect disease risk," said Sam Scheiner, program director at the National Science Foundation (NSF), which funded the research through a joint Ecology of Infectious Diseases (EID) Program with the National Institutes of Health.
Lyme disease--characterized by fever, headache, fatigue and a bulls'-eye rash--is spread through the bite of ticks infected with bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi.
Ttick that can carry bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
Source: NSF; Credit: Anand Varma. In the Western region of the U.S., the Western black legged tick, or Ixodes pacificus, is the primary vector for Lyme disease bacteria.
Up to 90 percent of the juvenile ticks in this species feed on the blood of the Western fence lizard, common in California and nearby states.
A previous study by UC-Berkeley entomologist Robert Lane found that a protein in the Western fence lizard's blood killed Borrelia bacteria, and as a result, Lyme-infected ticks that feed on the lizard's blood are cleansed of the disease-causing pathogen.
The lizard is thus often credited for the relatively low incidence of Lyme disease in the western United States. The new study put that assumption to the test experimentally.
"When you have an animal like the Western fence lizard that supports a huge population of ticks, you can't assume that all the juvenile ticks will go to another host if the lizard population drops," said Lane, a co-author of the paper.
For their field test, the researchers selected 14 plots, each measuring 10,000 square meters and spread out over two sites in Marin County, Calif.
From March through April 2008, before tick season went into full swing, the researchers captured and removed 447 lizards from six plots--three at each site--and left the remaining plots unaltered as controls.
Some lizards have ticks in specialized neck folds ("mite pockets").
Source: NSF; Credit: Anand Varma. The lizards that had been captured were marked before being relocated so the researchers could determine whether any wandered back into their old haunts. After the lizards were removed, the biologists spent the following month trapping other mammals known to harbor ticks--particularly woodrats and deer mice--to determine whether they had an increase in ticks as a result of the lizards' absence. The scientists also checked for differences between control and experimental plots in the abundance of ticks.
In plots where the lizards had been removed, ticks turned to the female woodrat as their next favorite host for a blood meal. On average, each female woodrat got an extra five ticks when the lizards disappeared. However, the researchers found that 95 percent of the ticks that no longer had lizard blood to feast on failed to latch onto another host.
"One of our goals was to tease apart the role these lizards play in Lyme disease ecology," said Swei, now a post-doctoral associate at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y.
"It was assumed that these lizards played an important role in reducing Lyme disease risk," she said.
The tale, it turns out, is even more complicated than that.
Other co-authors of the paper are biologists Cheryl Briggs of University of California, Santa Barbara and Richard Ostfeld at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y.

While you've been busy trying to stay warm in the cold, repair companies have been busy fixing furnaces. Furnace repair companies, like Davis Heating and AC in Jacksonville, have some of their busiest days on the coldest days of the year. Last night the Slaughter family in Jacksonville had to rely on body heat to stay warm.
"We bundled up in my room- piles of blankets and warm pajamas and just slept together. The kids loved it," said Delshawn Slaughter.
A Davis Heating and AC repairman says when you have your furnace going full blast, it really has to be in tip top shape and it's a good idea to have your heating and AC system checked when you first switch on your heat to make sure you don't make any damage worse.

Project Scope:
Yes I know it's a huge project... Though could somebody, please help me out. I came here in search of somebody, unlike myself who sucks at making any maps what so ever... Thanks.
My project would be a world base Forum, of the Pokemon Nation. The current map I was looking over and would like to use for this project.
Removing the Banner saying Map of Tamerial and replacing it with New Frontier. With that saying I would like the map to look more like this one Geographical feeling towards it.
Want free range play so, like real life we all go outside the boundaries and follow the unbeaten path. Like the traditional games I dont want any routes more like roads like Elder Scrolls planted from the gold road to black road and everything in between. No subway routes, replacing them would be Ship routes used by the sailors.
Gym Buildings will be the respective Castle within each city.
Cyrodiil This would equal Unova Region.
1. Anvil Driftveil City
2. Kvatch Nacrene City
3. Skingrad Mistralton City
4. Chorrel Nimbasa City
5. Bruma Icirrus
6. Cheydinhal Striaton City
7. Bravil Black City
8. Leyawiin Opelucid City
9. Imperail City Castelia City
Morrowind This would equal Orange Islands
1. While Vhanderfall Equals Sevii Islands
Skyrim This would equal Sinnoh Region
High Rock This would equal Almia Region
Hammerfell This would equal Hoenn Region
Valenwood This would equal Johto Region
Elsweyr This would equal Kanto Region
1. Desert portion of Elsweyr I would like to put Orre Region within the mix.
Black Marsh This would equal Oblivia as well Fiore Region mixed together?
Summerset Isle Bruma Region. (Meaning Island within the Mist)(WIP) Though mostly experiments from the new villain team mostly dump them here Mostly contains Pokemon morphs. (Human with Pokemon DNA Something within that nature) But will have Gyms And a couple towns and Cities. (WIP)
The thinner portion of Summer Set, I would like to have the strip split up and formed into five different Islands. Is a chain of five islands fifty miles of the "Island within the Mist." Consisting of they are named Isla Matanceros, Isla Muerta, Isla Pena, Isla Sorna and Isla Tacaño. I will change the names of the Island, just something I was basing the Islands off of.
Isla Matanceros
Is a remote island about 120 miles off the west coast of the "Island within the Mist." Isla Matanceros lies in a foggy area, hidden by the rocky cliffs.
Isla Muerta
North of Isla Mantanceros... Lies Isla Muerta Mysteriously shrouded in an everlasting fog, the isle is surrounded by a graveyard of sunken ships. From the air, the island resembles a human skull. It appears to be largely unexplored, though within hides a ancient city within...
Isla Pena
Little known about this island south of Isla Matanceros, though the little who explored it... Said it to be a Forest within an Island, shrouded within the fog.
Isla Sorna
South of Isla Pena... It's one of the "Five Deaths" Yet little is known though Team Rocket inhabits this land with their own research lab hidden within the Island itself.
Isla Tacaño
Isla Tacaño was arguably the most dangerous of all the islands in Las Cinco Muertes, as it is the only island in the archipelago with an active volcano on it. Patrolling this Island would be the Pokemon Rangers themselves... Yet with Team Rocket nearby they dump their own failed experiments within.
Pyandonea Would equal the battle hub of the whole entire Frontier.
1. Is used for the Elite four itself, having one main Elite four Entrance basically like a gaint castle greeting all trainers. And from there, having the respective areas would branch off and each part of the Island would have each group of Elite Four Members as well with a common battle field of that type.
1. While the smaller Islands would be more around it would consist of Battle Frontier, Battle Zone, Poketopia, Battle Park, as well with PokePark / Pokemon Island ( Resort / Theme Park ) And a
The three smaller Islands below Valenwood would consist of a larger Pokemon Academy.
Pokemon Nation, Set back when the world was set as a whole and before splitting apart.
Design Concept:
I would like the maps to look more within a natural geographical feel like the second link above.
With the towns would be scattered throughout the regions. Respective towns within each region, as well Having the Mines, Caves, Camp Sites, and Deadric Shrines would be turned into Pokemon Shrines, scattered throughout the Region itself.
Number of maps:
One regional overland map showing points of interest in the area/Shipping routes.
One Map of each Region, showing points of interest within the area itself. (9 Regional Maps. )
If possible. Doesn't have to be done right away, though I would like a town Map set up as well. No rush with that, but I would like to focus more with the world Map. As with the town's, making them look more like the towns within the Elder scrolls, though having that Pokemon touch to them. We can talk about that afterwords...
Professional / semi professional though it doesnt matter. Going to be using it through Photo bucket, saving picture wise. Full color. ( I'm no map maker... I found this Forum through Devianart. )
Remains with cartographer.
Publisher retains right to reproduce the maps. I would like to have Reproduction Rights through the Publisher to use on my Forum. All other right's will go to the Cartographer.
Flexible. I am in the making of the Forum at the moment, though Im not really rushing things, with school and work.
Discuss through Email.
I would like to get it for free. Due to me just moving into my new place Though Please send me a Private Message to discuss rates.
Kyle Carpenter
Please use subject line Pokemon Nation

- "...Our empire was old before dragons stirred in Old Valyria."
- ―Razdal mo Eraz
The Ghiscari Empire was one of the oldest civilizations in the known world, which ruled much of the continent of Essos, centered around the present-day region of Slaver's Bay. The Ghiscari Empire was flourishing and building massive pyramids thousands of years before the rise of the Valyrian Freehold, when the Valyrians were only humble shepherds.
Its symbol was a harpy: a woman's head and torso, with bat wings, clawed eagle legs, and a scorpion's tail.
Five thousand years ago, when the Valyrians discovered and mastered dragons and began to conquer outwards, the Ghiscari Empire sought to put a halt to their expansion. The two great rivals vied to be the dominant power in Essos, and in a series of five major wars the massive Ghiscari legions marched against the Valyrians, but each time they were defeated by the Valyrian dragons. Much of the fighting took place in and around the Valyrian peninsula and (what would later become known as) Slaver's Bay.
The Valyrians finally defeated the Ghiscari Empire when their armies and their dragons attacked the Empire's capital city of Ghis. The buildings and streets were burned to ash, and the Valyrians sowed the earth with salt so that nothing would grow again. Five thousand years later, Old Ghis is still a ruin.
The Valyrians conquered the surviving Ghiscari people as well as their outlying colonies throughout the region, including Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen. For the next five thousand years, the Ghiscari people were ruled by the Valyrian Freehold. Indeed, very few Ghiscari survived the destruction of the Empire, and combined with five thousand years of intermingling with other conquered peoples that the Valyrians incorporated into their colonies, the bloodline of the Ghiscari Empire actually runs very thin in modern-day Slaver's Bay.
However, after the Doom of Valyria four hundred years ago, the local Ghiscari cities east of the Gulf of Grief reasserted their independence, with a handful of aristocrats establishing great wealth and power by ruthlessly exploiting a vast slave population, to the point that the entire geographical region became known as "Slaver's Bay". The city of New Ghis was also founded on an island further south of the bay. Despite being separated from the Ghiscari Empire by five thousand years' worth of racial and cultural intermingling, the ruling elites of these slaver-cities looked back the past glories of the old local empire as a way of re-asserting their independence, latching onto whatever cultural trappings and heritage had survived the centuries. After they regained their independence the slaver-cities of Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen also began using harpies on their flags (with different variants for each city), emulating the harpy symbol of the old Ghiscari Empire. Even in the present day, many aristocratic slavers from these cities think of the Ghiscari Empire as "their" empire.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Ghiscari Empire was founded many millennia ago by Grazdan the Great. One of - if not the - oldest civilizations in the known world, the Ghiscari Empire's golden age was thousands of years before the rise of the Valyrians five thousand years ago, though the exact age of the Ghiscari Empire has not yet been mentioned.
After the Doom of Valyria, the peoples of Slaver's Bay tried to re-assert their independence by championing their descent and cultural heritage from the old Ghiscari Empire now that their Valyrian overlords were gone. In reality, however, five thousand years of domination by the Valyrians took their toll, and present-day Slaver's Bay only has certain scraps of culture and traditions which date back to the Ghiscari Empire itself. The region's current inhabitants are really a mongrel race, descended from the small surviving Ghiscari population which intermingled with many other enslaved peoples under the Valyrians. Even the present-day languages of Slaver's Bay owe more to High Valyrian than they do to the old Ghiscari language. Much like the local peoples in the Free Cities, once the Valyrians were gone they developed their own romance dialect of High Valyrian; however the "Low Valyrian" of Slaver's Bay is quite different from the dialects in the Free Cities, because it contains many borrowings from the older Ghiscari languages, i.e. "Mhysa" in Slaver's Bay Low Valyrian is a direct borrowing of the word for "mother" in the ancient Ghiscari language. Still, in terms of basic structure, the language is really a derivation of High Valyrian with some Ghiscari influence, and the language of the old empire is largely extinct.
The rivalry between the Valyrian Freehold and the Ghiscari Empire seems to be a narrative echo of the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage.

My first question to everyone is how was your Freshman Year? Did you like it? Did you hate it?
To me Freshman Year was a tough year, but some parts of it were still fun. Some of my favorite classes were Drafting and Intro to Tech (Woodshop). In those classes you had to work hard, but you often had fun and could talk with other people as long as you were working on what you were supposed to be working on.
Drafting is a fun class because as long as you draw the drawings out the book you can still talk to friends. Its a little complicated, but after using commands over and over you get the hang of how to do the drawings and if you need to fix something, its no problem.
Woodshop is another fun class. You have to make the three items he shows you, but you have that class everyday and you get to work on things. After you make those items and get ahead a little, you can start making whatever you want. I have made at least two of everything we have made all year. That classes is really good for later in the future and it is fun. You get to make things out of wood and then take them home when you are finished to have for yourself or if you have made it for someone.
Those are major classes too, but they were a lot more fun than actual subjects. Civics was also another fun class with Mr. Hein. Even though it is tough to understand sometimes with government and how it functions, he always made class fun. Freshman year was a fun year, but a lot of hardwork and sometimes it can be disappointing.
Some classes are more fun than others and thats just the way it works. That is why before this year I chose carefully of what I was going to take and I am happy with what I took because some classes that I took were really fun, but no matter what you have to take English, Math, Science, and a type of Social Studies. If you didn't have to take those classes, I think everyone would agree with me, that nobody would take them.

May Free Write. Have you ever felt like you had no idea who you were anymore? Have you ever stood in front of a mirror and said to your self "this is not me.?" I have. I've been doing that a lot lately too. If you have ever felt this way, then maybe my story and experiences will inspire you.
Lately, I haven't been a good person. I haven't been nice and I haven't been loyal. I've been lying to my parents and sneaking around behind they're back and I have no idea why I am acting this way. I'm just angry and sad all the time and I don't know why?! Even though I don't like doing it, I'll admit it. I'm scared. I'm scare because I know what I'm capable of and I'm afraid that I'm going to get really angry one day and I'm going to end up hurting somebody I care about. Someone I love. I don't what to do. I don't know who I am anymore. This isn't who I am. Most of you who know me, you know this isn't me. I'm usually really nice, friendly, happy, giggly, and I'm usually always smiling. I don't know what happened. My life at home isn't all that dandy either.
I argue with my parents, I lie to them, not realizing how much I'm hurting them AND me, and I'm sneaking around, also not realizing I'm making them feel like horrible parents because I'm making them feel, that they feel THEY did something wrong to make me not want to open up to them. I know that may not make sense to some of you, but what I'm trying to say, is I make them feel unwelcome, but they make ME feel unwelcome too! Sometimes I feel like when they threaten me and scream at me, it's a sign that I've overstayed my welcome. I don't want to lose my family over my stupidity.
DO NOT make the mistakes I have, because I understand that some of you, may even have it worse than me, but I'm just saying this to help you. If you feel that you changing in a way that you don't like, you need to talk to someone. Like me, I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm seeing a psychiatrist and he is helping me, a LOT. It's nice to talk to someone and get things off your chest and knowing at the same time that you are always welcome and you wont be harshly judged. If you are having the same problem I am, then talk to someone. Try to open up to your parents, talk to your guidance counselor, go to that ONE person you know won't judge you, and the ONE person you trust above all else. If you keep things bottled up, you'll end up bitter, mean, unhappy, and alone. Please. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to be a princess. Every Sunday afternoon she would throw a tea party for the whole neighborhood. Her parents thought that it was adorable so they would always buy enough snacks for all who attended, which of course was everyone in the neighborhood. They all loved the young child. Not only did everyone want to attend her parties but were upset when they could. The girl truly had everyone under her "rule", as she told her parents.
One stormy afternoon a new family moved into the home next to the young girl. This family had a boy who was just a couple years older than young girl. The boy's parents were absolutely in love with the younger girl for her imagination and creativity. This fact did not make the boy very happy and he hated the girl for being "adorable", as his parents had said. His parents would tell him that he should go "play the prince to her princess". Being a boy of the age of 10, this did not sound like a good idea. To be quite honest he didn't think would sound like a good idea on any planet.
The family had been in the neighborhood for about two weeks and gone to both of the tea parties they had been in town for. On the third Sunday though the boy decided he would attend the tea party. Everything was going well and the girl had come outside in her dress and told everyone they could eat. The boy thought that it was the most rediculous thing in the world. Before they left the girl asked the boy if he enjoyed himself. The boy, hating the girl, told her, "No. This was a waste of time and, just so you're aware, you are NEVER going to be a princess." Then the girl ran away crying into her home never to be seen again because boys are mean.
The End

Ever look to the night sky and see those glowing stars? The ones that are always there? Do you ever see yourself in them?
Stars are just Blemishes on the sky,
Little glowing mistakes in our eyes,
Like the little imperfections of ourselves,
Why do we dwell? Why do we curse ourselves to hell?
We need to see the love within, how we hold such beauty,
I've had to see this, hold it to my mind,
Tell me myself, it isn't a lie,
I mean that's beyond my skies.
You see, we are just the sweet night sky,
And we focus on our glowing mistakes,
But just like those sweet stars, they will be gone one day.
So let them go, they'll die out.
Never let something so small get you down.
You are not all those astronomers say you are,
You are so much more, So much better.
They are too far away, too far gone from your word they don't know.
They don't see those blemishes no longer grow.
So let them go, and tell those astronomers they're wrong.
They're so wrong.

Like an alcoholic is attracted to the lip of a bottomless bottle with only a few drops left, for really he knows the bottle never could really empty, it simply can't, or how a tobacco pipe smoker finds pleasure in little else than his meerschaum, I am have yet to find at least five things that give me more enjoyment then reading fine literature, poetry mostly. With that being said, I am completely and utterly unashamed of what I'm about to announce. When it comes to poets, no one is as fickle as I when it comes to who is their favorite. However there is one poet I cannot shake from my conscience the guilt I feel when I don't consider him my favorite. W.B. Yeats (the W.B. stands for William Butler, and I will not tolerate mistaking him for Keats!). This will not be a lecture on how I believe class and rich culture is going to the dogs, I've done that one so many times even I'm sick of it, though I certainly could. No, this blog will simply be to acknowledge the greatest Irish poet of all time.
W.B. Yeats (Last name pronounced 'Yates', yes I will now admit for the public to see that you were right Miss Transue) was born on June 13th, 1865 (I mean…he COULD have toughed it out and lived to be 146-year-old so I could have met him) in Sandymount, Dublin, Ireland and died at in 1939 at the age of 73 in Menton, France. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923 'for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation'. I'm not here though to acknowledge him by stating dry facts that anybody can look up on the Internet and find within two minutes (I just felt the need to incorporate that he won the Nobel Prize). I plan on appreciating by…well…being a slight fangirl.
The first poem I had ever read of his was one that I found in a book of the top 500 Poems of English Literature that I found rummaging through my father's office in our upstairs one day and decided to take. I'm extremely glad I did to, it just looked so sad there collecting dust….It is also a poem I could quote by heart called 'When You Are Old',
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
--William Butler Yeats
It was the most beautiful thing I had ever read in my life, and it did not fill me with pitiful envy like so many great works often do. It did one of the rarest things a writer can do to me. It only inspired me and made me feel warmth inside. It was something that hadn't been done in years since I decided to take writing seriously.
SO IN CONCLUSION( (= )...my typical view on things that I love such as artists, bands, and writers (and yes, I know this is bad), is to keep them to my greedy self. I would be doing a great dishonor to Mr. Yeats if I continued to do so to him. I believe that he would want his voice to live on even years after his death, so I encourage all of you, if his poem more than tickled your fancy, you genuinely find fewer pleasures in life than reading fine literature, and you do not think you will soon cast his works aside like a month-old newspaper, read as many poems of his that you can. He was a wonderful man who wrote poetry that certainly was, 'always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation'.

Super-man!, Batman!, Ironman!, Incredible Hulk!, My dad! Now they are all heros in my book. Being a hero takes courage, achievement, and awarded for his deeds. Yahoo Anwser says the definition for a hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. My dad is currently in the national guard he is a recruiter and he has been sent over seas when he was younger but now he just recruits people to come in the armed forces. My dad was shipped to Kowait, Iraq, and ect.
I hope one day I end up like him because I want my kids to look up to me like I did for him. I also think my dads a hero because hes special to me. I have always thought that what if he goes over seas and gets shot. One time he was in Iraq and his apendix popped. My dad doesnt get shipped anymore because he has five kids to take care of. He works really hard and achieves alot of goals during the week and on the weekends he helps me and my little brothers race dirtbikes.
My dad goes out of his way just to make my day better. He might not be recognized more then others but he is to me. When hes at a concert hes recognized for being in the armed forces. One time my dad and my step mom went to a Rascal Flatts concert, they got free tickets to see him. While they were there they had a chance to go up on stage and meet all the band crew.
My dads a hero, is yours?

Sand, water, and towels. Sounds like a day at the beach to me! The beach is in my top ten lists of places to be. Summer is almost here and for now I'm going to about what I want to do there and what I have done there. When I'm at the beach what we usually do is go swimming, build sand castles, play foot ball, and my favorite, boogey boarding. The beach is a perfect place for people to have family time and fun. Another good thing about the beach is that it's free, so fun time can also be a cheap time. I like the beach so much that if it were a person I would marry it. I wish I could own a beach house for many reasons. I could wake up in the morning and feel the ocean breeze, watch the waves, and see the annoying seagles.
One time when I was at the beach there were so many seagles I got annoyed. When the seagles would leave I decided to chase them away but then there was a twist, a couple of them started to chase me! Mom just happened to be recording it and she couldn't stop laughing. Another thing that I've done was watch midget crabs. I was at the Gulf of Mexico and we went by some rocks and if you were really quiet you could see the tiny crabs come out of the holes. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Some people might say that the beach is a horrible place because the sand gets into places, there's no shade, and it's too boring. Those are people who grew up as a boring stick in the mud. People who dislike the beach should stick to their chess and cleaning. I believe everyone should go to the beach as soon as they can and have a boatload of fun!

Do you and your friends act CRAZY ever? I don't think that myself or any of my friends are "normal"!! OMG! I love my friends. They are always there for me no matter what and I am there for them. There is this qoute that I thought fit my best friend Olivia,Cassie, and I. It's"Best Friends: we're the kind of people who laugh at a joke 3 times; once when it's told. The 2nd when someone explains it to us && five minutes later when we actually get it."
This fits Olivia, Cassie, and I because we are like close. Almost like sisters. I know that she would do anything for me and i would do the same for her. Thats just how it works, right? Livie and I are like sooooo close. Cassie and I are the same way too. We tell each other secrets and talk about our problems, and even if we look at each other when something is said we just start laughing. I don't know what I would do with out my best friend. I have this saying from 4-H. It's "to make the best better.". When one of my friends are upset I tell them that I'm always there for them and they can always come and talk to me about anything and I won't tell anyone. Unless they are going to hurt them self or others. I know that they would do and do the same for me. I think that every one needs to have a close friend or friends.

My Best Friend :D
Have you ever had a TERRIBLE day and thought to yourself, man who could I go talk to about this? Have you ever had someone you think you can't go a day without? Have you ever thought you fell in love with your BESTFRIEND? I've been in love with one of my best guy friends since I was in the 6th grade, I can go to him with EVERYTHING. No matter if its problems about boys, problems at home or anything. I can't go one day without talking to him. This person means A LOT to me, he's been there for me through thick and thin. This boy is absolutely one of my favorite people in this world.
The day I met him, I disliked him a lot because he wanted to try to get to know me and at the time I didn't want anyone to know me. Sad and weird but very true. I've grown to absolutely love this boy. When he and I are around each other it's nothing but laughs and a fun time. He's so funny, and has an amazing voice; he's a very talented person. He listens and understands me, when no one else does. He knows me better than I know myself. He can tell if I'm sad even if I was trying to be happy. He knows me inside and out. If I need him, no matter what time at night or in the morning it is, he will be there.
Not only is this boy my best friend he's also me boyfriend. Hopefully everyone has someone in their life like him, even if it's not their boyfriend/girlfriend; it's great to have someone there and to care for you.

Baggage Claim is a delightful but predictable movie that hit theaters September 27. The David E. Talbert movie is like one of lighthearted screwball fare that I can sit and watch on Turner Classic Movies all day long. However it probably won't make the channel's line-up simply because of its mostly Black cast, which in itself destines the film for a future small-screen premiere on BET, TV One or Bounce TV. The cast, or for that matter the movie itself, isn't on the same scale as the classic Uptown Saturday Night (1974) that boasts an all-star Black cast of legends, but Paula Patton headlines a notable cast nonetheless. Aaron Park, of Brooklyn Park, calls Baggage Claim "a nice refreshing movie" after seeing it at the September 23 special preview that the MSR — among others — co-sponsored. Continue Reading →

Legume and grain sprouts combine wonderfully with solar cooking. Until I discovered Sprout People (sproutpeople.com), I thought of bean sprouts mostly as the long, fat type we enjoy in oriental cooking. Those are good, but now I know that you can take just about any bean (or pea, lentil, etc) that is viable (iow, not heat processed or ancient/stale/rancid) and sprout it just a little bit, just enough so there's a little root starting to poke out. If you cook it at this point, it will still be very close to a dry bean in taste and texture (for example, your chilli will still taste/feel like chilli), but they will cook more quickly and be much easier to digest. Basically, in the process of waking up, the seed digests the part that gives some people trouble.
Grains like rice or wheat or barley sprouted the same way--just a little bit of root sticking out--also cook quicker and are easier to digest. (You need unrefined/whole grains... I don't think 'pearled' barley or polished white rice would sprout well if at all.)
You can sprout the legumes and grain together, in a jar with one of those plastic sprout lids or cheesecloth or netting banded over the top. Soak for eight hours or so in cool water, then drain and rinse two or three times a day until the little roots start to poke out. It only takes a couple of days to get them to this point. I've got a batch going now... if it's sunny tomorrow we'll have solar soup for supper with a base of sprouted peas (assorted mixed... one of sproutpeople's blends), wheat, and barley. The last sprout soup, which was the first thing I cooked in my new 10-ream paper-box cooker I just made, was assorted lentils and barley sprouted together, with canned tomatoes, various vegetables and including some lovely spring leeks, kale, and chard that survived the winter in the garden. (It clouded over an hour or two earlier than I'd hoped, so I had to finish it in my slow cooker, but solar got it more than halfway to done before the clouds rolled in.) It was very yummy.
So next time you're thinking about what to cook in your solar cooker, consider giving sprout soup a try, and if you want to know more about sprouts, go to http://sproutpeople.com, because those folks really know their stuff.
Note: In areas where water is scarce, it is good to note that all extra water from soaking and rinsing can then be used for cooking, so almost no water need be wasted for this type of sprouting

So the other day someone showed me a program called 'Paint Tool SAI'.
It seems to be a nice program but I have still barely checked it out att all.
Does anyone here use it? What are your thoughts?
Are there any tutorials?

Someone had posted something that they had done a few months back with this program. I can't recall who it was or how far back it was but it was this year. I had looked into it but didn't download it.

I use SAI a lot now after trying the demo out. It's a really light sketching program designed for tablets and has replaced Sketchbook/Open Canvas for me. I think the linework you can produce with it is superior to that of any other program I've tried and I also find it blends colours really well. You can also create vector layers too and it supports the .PSD format.

In any case in which subsection (a) (or so much of section 1031 (b) or (c) as relates to subsection (a) of this section) has applied to the exchange of a transferable obligation which was issued at not less than par for another transferable obligation, the issue price of the obligation received from the Government in the exchange shall be considered for purposes of applying subpart A of part V of subchapter P to be the same as the issue price of the obligation surrendered to the Government in the exchange, increased by the amount of other consideration (if any) paid to the United States as a part of the exchange.
(c) Cross references
(1) For rules relating to the recognition of gain or loss in a case where subsection (a) would apply except for the fact that the exchange was not made solely for other obligations of the United States, see subsections (b) and (c) ofsection 1031.

There has been a lot of talk today about what Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam told Tony Grossi at ESPNCleveland.com Sunday.
Haslam said he has no intentions of selling the Cleveland Browns.
His company -- Pilot Flying J -- is under federal investigation for fraud, along with 18 civil lawsuits that have been filed against it. Haslam also told Grossi any rumors about him selling the franchise are false.
A spokesman for Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam says Haslam has no plans to sell the franchise despite legal troubles with the company he runs.
FBI agents say transcripts of secretly recorded calls among Pilot Flying J employees reveal a scheme to defraud trucking companies of fuel rebates, and five members of the sales staff at the nation's largest diesel retailer have pleaded guilty to fraud.
Haslam has said he was unaware of the scheme. In a story published Sunday on the ESPN Cleveland website, Haslam said he intends to own the Browns "for a long time."
And in a statement issued Monday, Pilot Flying J spokesman Tom Ingram said, "We expect no change in Mr. Haslam's relationship with the NFL and/or his ownership of the Browns."
