SunPower Corporation Announces Supply Agreement With Systems Integrator Kubokura For T5 Solar Roof Tile
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR) today announced that systems integrator Kubokura Densetsu Co. Ltd. has signed a supply agreement for its T5 Solar Roof Tile. Kubokura will install the T5 Solar Roof Tile on four leased rooftops in the Kanagawa Prefecture. Utilizing the country's new feed-in-tariff, Kubokura will sell the electricity generated by the 540-kilowatt solar systems back to the grid through the local utility. The clean energy generated will be enough to serve more than 180 homes. Tilted at a five-degree angle, the T5 Solar Roof Tile is the industry's first all-in-one, non-penetrating photovoltaic rooftop product that combines solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single pre-engineered unit. The T5 Solar Roof Tile interlocks for wind resistance and secure installation; its patented design is adaptable to virtually any flat or low-slope rooftop. Integrated into the T5 Solar Roof Tile is the high efficiency E20 / 327 Solar Panel by SunPower Corporation."We are well positioned in the Japanese market with our high-efficiency technology, and with our first T5 Solar Roof Tile supply agreement, we'll increase our share of the rapidly-expanding commercial rooftop segment," said Tom Werner, SunPower Corporation president and CEO. "Kubokura and the utility will benefit from SunPower's leading technology, more than a quarter century of experience and our commitment to guaranteed performance." "We chose the T5 Solar Roof Tile system because it gave us maximum installed capacity on limited rooftop space," said Satoshi Kubokura, senior managing director. "With 20 percent efficiency solar panels integrated into the all-in-one system, coupled with a non-penetrating installation that does not require anchoring the system to the roof, the T5 Solar Roof Tile is easy to install and minimizes waterproofing and structural risks on the rooftop surface."

Tom - thanks for the article - surprised there are no comments yet!
I wonder how important the customized SLA will be for cloud resources. It may give some sense of safety to large corporate purchasers to consolidate resources with one provider and have a bigger stick to beat them with - but most architects I know are actively trying to design their cloud presence to be cloud agnostic. This gives a different type of leverage - the ease of switching provider as needed - and higher fault tolerance.
Any word on the contrast between these two approaches from your perspective?
Tom, great article. We referenced you on IT Central Station and borrowed the table. Thanks!

Violeta Group
Mrs. Teresa N. D. L. C. is the representative of the group; she is 54 years old with six married children. Teresa only finished the first graD. of primary school, and since that time, she has had to work. Unfortunately, she was widowed eight months ago. She sells snack foods such as tacos, quesadillas, and gorditas; she also sells candies and potatoes, and she rents out homes. She began her business roughly two years ago; as she saw the need to increase her income, she goes out daily to sell her products and when she can, she goes to events such as dances. Teresa tries to sell as much as she can, and with this source of income she goes about supporting herself now that she has no family to support her. She always tries to have the ingredients ready for the preparation of her food in time to sell her products at night. Even if she is busy running to keep up with her sales, she will always try to come out ahead. Her plans are to put in another food stall and to do some home improvement projects. She has decided to take out this loan to invest in her snack stall business, and the other part in fixing up her house.
The other nine founding members of the group are:
EsteL. Díaz N. (sale of artistic photographs), Ricardo Ramírez Gómez (clothing store), Viridiana C. Díaz (sale of tostados), Ofelia B. B. (sale of piñatas). Efrén Martínez V. (sale of sweets), MariseL. F. Hernández (bakery), Nancy S. M. (woodworking), Laura N. Guzmán (sale of sweets), Yolanda F. Hernández (sale of snack foods), Rene E. E. (sale of sweets) and Roberto C. M. (sale of artistic photographs).
They would like a loan to be able to buy necessary items to increase their stocks if items such as candy, photos, raw materials for food, flour, gelatin, and disposable items. Increasing their stocks will allow them to have more customers.
The group feels fortunate to be able to work with support from Kiva through Fundacion Realidad.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

MMORPG'ers consoled about their gaming.
Couldn't figure out a clever title using word play between 'console' the electronic, and 'console' the verb. That's as good as it's going to get for you all!
Well, as promised, the topic of this entry is Console MMORPG's. What's wrong with them, what can be improved, and what should be utilized in the future. I've only played a small handful of console MMORPG's...due to that there's only a handful of console MMORPG's. I've been demo testing that Star Ocean game on my Xbox 360 lately, and while, yeah, it's kind of cool to run around, use the voice chat and so on, it got dull quickly. There wasn't much depth to the game, no real 'You just got this level, what are you going to do with it?' to it. That was one of the major problems with it as I saw. Yes, the options of using skill sets are limited, but games have done it before.
Mass Effect, an RPG on the Xbox 360, utilizes many types of abilities based by what type of weapon you're wielding, and what skills you have. They're accessed with a radial dial style pop-up. The game does pause itself, while you select a special ability, and you can queue up all your party members to use different abilities at the same time. The game doesn't have to stall to allow you to use special abilities in this way, though of course, in a real-time game, it's not always the best choice. I got to thinking the other day, and both the PS3, and the Xbox 360, have attatchments to allow you to use a mini-keyboard...
Why not make it bigger? Make the keyboard slightly bigger, or create an entirely new 'MMORPG' attachment. Gives you ways to access hotkeys, so you can use special abilities faster on the spot. As for leveling up issues, I don't see why a menu screen can't be utilized. It could be an almost exact replica of any MMORPG's character screen. It could allow players to view their character more indepth than current Console MMORPG's (CMMORPG's for the ease of writing this blog further).
CMMORPG's also have the bonus of developers knowing their limit on the game. They don't have to worry about 'Okay, does 10% of the MMORPG population have a computer powerful enough to run this?'. I know personally, my major frustration with MMORPG's, are the system requirements. I'm sadly stuck with a laptop due to University reasons. I need the portability. Sadly, my laptop is plagued with rather crappy specs. I can run most things, but my laptop gets rather burning hot. I've had past Laptops actually melt from trying to play some games. Literally melt, the little plastic hinge separating from being too hot. LCD burning out on one side, from the sheer heat. But it's sadly what I'm stuck with; And I know my laptop won't be able to play much of anything new.
My xbox 360 however...has the same hardware as the next guy's. I don't have to worry about it being strong enough to play a game. It is. Moving on to consoles as well, would give developers a larger audience, a new way to bring people who don't normally play MMORPG's, to play them. In all honesty, no matter what genre's you play...it's pretty hard to hate MMORPG's. They're addictive, and constantly keep you hooked. With CMMORPG's, developers would have less marketting worries, players would be able to play no matter how powerful their computer is, as long as they own the console (And, from what we've heard and seen so far, servers CAN be set up between different consoles, alongside computer's, meaning even if your friend has a PS3, and you have a 360, you could still grind together).
Basically, in closing: The Next-gen systems are damn powerful. It's about time we see something that truely shows that power, that vigor that we see in current next-gen titles. What do you, MMORPG.com, think should happen in terms of these CMMORPG's, and what features do you want added, changed, or taken away?
I'd worry about trying to communicate with players on consoles. A lot of people have trouble typing when they have to use a keyboard to do most of the stuff to play the game. I doubt that the typing skills of console players who don't even have or use a keyboard would be any better.Sat Feb 14 2009 7:42PM Report
Xbox 360 and PS3 have voice-chat, that works well in my opinion. That would instantly solve all problems of communication. Though; sometimes, given, it is difficult to understand someone, and it can be a bonus to type out a specific word or phrase someone couldn't hear.Sat Feb 14 2009 7:51PM Report
I think Consoles have plenty of potential for MMO's, however, I think if they are to be on Consoles, they should adapt to the usual control systems as opposed to requiring a new add on. No hotbars, no point and click targeting. Have a combat system closer to an action game. I'm not saying make it twitch based or anything, give em a lock on system and make combat faster. Map skills to buttons (Maybe use the shoulder buttons to shift to seperate skill setups) I mean if you use 3 shift setups, you would have 12 seperate skills accessable at anytime. 24 if you allow for the D-Pad to use it's own skills.
I dunno, I just think that console controllers seem to get bashed by PC players more than they should.Sat Feb 14 2009 8:46PM Report
Wow Kurai, those are some great idea's. I could see the shoulder buttons being used for that with ease. Using the buttons without a shoulder pad could be buffs, Right shoulder button offensive, Left shoulder button being defensive skills. Should definately be something gaming companies should think about. It kind of reminds me of the way Fable's skill/emote set worked, without the actual emotes.Sat Feb 14 2009 9:40PM Report
if you have MMO's on consoles you have 2 options 1make the consoles into PC's with keyboards and mice 2 make seprate games for consoles and PC's and put the console gamers on seprate servers so every one has the same hardware limmitations/ bonuses otherwise PC players will moan that consoles are better at this and consoles will moan that PC's are better at thatSun Feb 15 2009 4:21AM Report

Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth WarrenClinton slams Trump, but stops short of calling him racist or sexist Kasich paints himself as 'our only hope' in 'Star Wars'-themed ad White House weighs overtime rule changes MORE has opened up a 6-point lead against Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in their hotly contested senatorial race, according to a new poll.
The poll, from the Western New England University Polling Institute, found Warren ahead of the first-term senator with 50 percent support to 44 among likely voters. Six percent of the voters polled were undecided.
And even though Warren is leading in this poll, those surveyed still give strong marks to Brown's first term as a senator. On job approval, voters gave Brown the thumbs-up, 57 percent to 30.
Warren looks to have built her edge by dominating support from older voters and women. Of those surveyed who were 65 years old or older, 63 percent said they were planning to vote for Warren, compared to 35 percent for Brown. When it came to women, Warren enjoyed a 15-point advantage over Brown.
However, the incumbent retains an advantage in male voters, 49 percent to 44.
Brown also holds a substantial edge among independent voters, 57 percent to Warren's 35.
The poll was conducted from Sept. 6 to 13 and has a 5-point margin of error.

While leaving the facility, XXL was with him and convinced X to recite some new lyrics that will appear on his next album.
Tag: dmx
Seems like this news happens on the regular. Despite the talk of delay, DMX was released from Yuma Prison at 7 am today after serving seven months on probation violation.
Another doggone shame. DMX was initially set to be released from Yuma State Prison tomorrow, but according to TMZ, he will have to remain for at least another week due to a few infractions including: drug possession of an unspecified drug, failing or refusing a drug test, smoking and more. X has been at the Arizona pen since December on a probation violation.
Earlier today, New Beats Daily decided to let loose another unreleased track from Dark Man X. Not sure exactly when this was recorded but this ain't bad, suckas.
X is scheduled to be released from prison in less than a month. In the excerpt from his interview with VIBE earlier this week, he says, Rick Ross has reached out to him about joining Maybach Music Group. VIBE: You got major labels interested? Yeah. Actually, Rick Ross' peoples wrote me a letter while I was in here. What! Yeah like 'Yo we got a home for you. We'll pick you up in a limo. Just come to Miami. Just come, we got you.' Oh […]
Here we go again. The AZ Corrections reports that Dark Man X will be released from prison on July 1 and will be under supervision until August 12. Last December, X was sent back to prison for violating probation and also spent time at a mental health unit. Hopefully, this dog can stay out its cage. Bonus: Drag-On "Darkman Back" hhdx
X previewed this live back in September, but today east exclusives

The place is clean and inviting and I would definitely recommend it to anyone - good breakfast too. One thing to note is that payment needs to be in cash - something we hadn't noticed in the emails that she sent.

SANS: Attackers may be attempting Trend Micro exploits
The SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) warns that attackers may be attempting to exploit flaws in Trend Micro products to hijack computer systems.
This Article Covers
Risk management
Attackers may be trying to exploit flaws in Trend Micro's ServerProtect, Anti-Spyware and PC-cillin products to hijack vulnerable machines, the SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) has warned.
ISC handler Kyle Haugsness wrote on the Internet Storm Center Web site that the organisation was seeing "heavy scanning activity on TCP [port] 5168... probably for Trend Micro ServerProtect. It does indeed look like machines are getting owned with this vulnerability."
In a follow-up message, ISC handler William Salusky wrote that while he was unable to confirm the destination target of the suspicious scanners was in fact running a Trend Micro management service, some of the packet data the ISC received did appear suspect.
Antivirus company Symantec is taking the threat to Trend Micro users seriously enough to raise its ThreatCon to Level 2.
An email to customers of Symantec's DeepSight threat management service read: "DeepSight TMS is observing a large spike over TCP port 5168 associated with the Trend ServerProtect service, which was recently found vulnerable to remote code execution flaws. It appears that attackers are scanning for systems running the vulnerable service. We have observed active exploitation of a Trend Micro ServerProtect vulnerability affecting the ServerProtect service on a DeepSight Honeypot."
In an email to SearchSecurity.com, Haugsness said the storm center was observing the same trend. Tokyo-based Trend Micro released a patch and hotfix to address the flaws.
Trend Micro ServerProtect, an antivirus application designed specifically for servers, is prone to several security holes, including an interger overflow flaw that is exploitable over RPC, according to the Trend Micro ServerProtect security advisory. Specifically, the problem is in the SpntSvc.exe service that listens on TCP port 5168 and is accessible through RPC. Attackers could exploit this to run malicious code with system-level privileges and "completely compromise" affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service, Trend Micro said.
The problems affect ServerProtect 5.58 Build 1176 and possibly earlier versions.
Meanwhile, Trend Micro Anti-Spyware and PC-cillin Internet contain stack buffer-overflow flaws where the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer, the vendor reported. Trend Micro has released a hotfix to address that problem.
The issue affects the 'vstlib32.dll' library of Trend Micro's SSAPI Engine. When the library processes a local file that has overly-long path data, it fails to handle a subsequent 'ReadDirectoryChangesW' callback notification from Microsoft Windows.
Attackers who exploit this could inflict the same type of damage as exploits against the ServerProtect flaws. Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for Consumers version 3.5 and PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 are affected.

SONORA – Reclamation announces the fall season interpretive programs at New Melones Lake. All activities are free of charge, suitable for all ages and most do not require reservations. Please wear sturdy shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather. A water bottle and sunscreen are also recommended. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
California's Central Valley is often overlooked compared to other attractions offered within the state. The Central Valley, however, offers more than attractions and fake animatronics; instead, the land instills a genuine, rustic appeal that allows one to drive as in a reverie of life outside the urban geographic region.
Manteca is known as The Family City.
With more than 700 miles of waterways there are bound to be a few scenic stretches along the San Joaquin-Sacramento Delta perfect for an afternoon cruise.
Heading up either Highway 120 or 88 into the foothills always offers an interesting respite in the towns of Sonora and Columbia to Murphys and Angels Camp and even into Groveland's Pine Mountain Lake – especially for newcomers to the Central Valley.

National parks in California are some of the most beautiful in the country but anyone who has tried to visit Yosemite National Park in summer will almost certainly agree: things are starting to get a little crowded. One wonders if the pioneers who had the foresight to set aside these scenic lands would be appalled at the sight of hundreds of tour buses plying the park's narrow roadways.
Some people like to watch Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" every Christmas.
The Associated Students of Modesto Junior College continue to demonstrate their lively (or perhaps, deadly) holiday spirit by sponsoring their eighth annual Halloween Carnival and Haunted House extravaganza today, held at Modesto Junior College's West Campus, 2201 Blue Gum Ave. The event begins at 2 p.m. and thoroughly finishes off their black magic at 9 p.m.

Egypt's Plan to Sell Debt to Citizens Abroad Delayed
An Egyptian plan to sell certificates of deposit (CDs) - a form of debt - to its citizens living abroad to finance its deficit has been delayed because of technical problems over their issue in a single Gulf country, a minister said on Wednesday.
April 5, 2012 1:22 by kippreport
An Egyptian plan to sell certificates of deposit (CDs) – a form of debt – to its citizens living abroad to finance its deficit has been delayed because of technical problems over their issue in a single Gulf country, a minister said on Wednesday.
Egypt is looking for foreign currency to finance both budget and balance of payments deficits that have widened dramatically during the economic and political turmoil of the last year.
It also plans to sell parcels of land to its citizens abroad and dollar-denominated Islamic sukuk bonds to foreign institutions to help plug an external financing shortage estimated at $11 billion over the next 18 months.
Planning and International Cooperation Minister Faiza Abu El-Naga told reporters that Egypt has been negotiating with Gulf countries on the CDs, which she expected would raise the government $1 billion.
"It has been agreed with all the banks in the countries except for one country, and talks with it are continuing to resolve a few technical problems that it has over the deposit operation," she said, without naming the country.
The government will announce payment schedules and interest rates later. It will begin selling the CDs as soon as the technical problem is resolved, she said.
Egypt's finance minister said in late February that the government would offer $2 billion in three- and five-year CDs that would carry an interest rate of "no more than 4 percent".
At the time, he said he hoped to begin selling the CDs within one or two weeks.
On March 24, Egypt also began offering an initial group of land parcels in new satellite cities near Cairo and Port Said that it hopes will earn it $2.5 billion.
Egypt's cabinet agreed on Wednesday to reduce the down payment on the land to 35 percent of the cost from the 50 percent it was initially asking for, Abu El-Naga said.
It will also allow buyers to pay using funds already held in dollar deposits at Egyptian banks. (Writing by Patrick Werr; editing by Ron Askew)

Commuting can be such a bitch. It's crowded, people smell, and you're either going to or coming from the misery of work. Wouldn't a nice orgasm on the bus take the edge off? Rubbing one out on mass transit would seem impossible, because obviously you don't want to get arrested for being a perv. And most ladies need some help getting there, whether it's from her own nimble digits, a willing penis, or a helpful vibe, so discretion can be difficult. I know there are women who can get off by rubbing their thighs together, however even then, people would notice the girl furiously rubbing her legs together. But now at least one woman says she can think her way into an orgasm.
While most of us have had the occasional dream-gasm, I can't say I've ever met anyone who can think themselves into coming. But researchers at Rutgers are doing tons of research on mental O's, so soon hopefully everyone will be doing it. As for me, well, as I mentioned, Strange Sex is on during the same time as The Don Draper Hour, which is preceded by the Naked Vampire Hour, so maybe I'll try my own little at-home experiment.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. . . .

One of the great sacrifices of subjecting kids to school is that it trains them to ask for permission for everything, from turning in work late, to changing to a different class, to more mundane things like going to the bathroom. It's a tradeoff, of course: condition kids to seek permission for everything, and by doing so enable a system to exist where they receive an education.
Maybe that's a worthwhile tradeoff, and maybe it's not. But the real harm in it, in my opinion anyway, is that when we leave school, we're still in the habit of asking permission for everything. That's dangerous.
A manifestation of this that I come across with frequently is the questions that people send me by email. Here's a paraphrased template, which covers a good 60%+ of the emails I get from strangers:
"Hi. I've made the logical decision that X is what I want to do. But, there's one minor thing in my way and I want your opinion on it. What do you think?"
These are smart people, by the way. The minor problem isn't something that would actually thwart them; it's just a convenient excuse to revert to their conditioned response of seeking permission before acting. I'm something of an authority on a few different topics, so a bit of encouragement from me is usually all they need to have the confidence to push through and do what they want to do.
I remember this feeling, and I remember the first time I overruled the instinct to succumb to it. I was in college and hated it. Living with my friends was fun, being on campus was fun, classes were pure drudgery. I wanted to drop out, but there was no one to give me permission to do so. All of my authority figures were family members, and family valued school over everything else. Finding role models online wasn't something that happened back then.
If I own a car and you borrow it, I can tell you where you can and can't go. If you own it, you can take it wherever you want. So, in that spirit, I decided to own my life. In one package deal, I accepted the responsibility and freedom of being the top of the food chain for personal decision making.
What's really profound about owning your life is that it allows you to do things no one has done before. Traditional authority figures will always try to keep you on the straight and narrow, and specialized authority figures like myself can only give meaningful permission to do things we've already done. To do something brand new, you have to generate your own permission.
Confidence is tied with self ownership, both as a consequence and as a means. To fully rely on your own judgment requires confidence, which maybe has to be faked the first couple times through a leap of faith. But as you make more and more decisions solely on your own authority, especially decisions that others oppose, and you see that they're successful, or at least not as disastrous as predicted by others, you gainconfidence. Soon the idea of anyone else having the final say in any of your affairs seems bizarre.
If you're the type of person who likes to put new ideas into action, here's my advice: search your mind for something you've been wanting to do, but have been hesitating on, and just do it. Don't ask anyone, don't tell anyone (a passive form of permission asking), just do it and see how it feels. Maybe it's something small like walking around your neighborhood barefoot, or maybe it's something big like quitting your job because it sucks. Whatever it is, do it not for the immediate benefits of indulging yourself, but rather because it's a first step towards owning your life.
Awesome post. I ended up putting up a post in reference to yours about it and how your post was pretty much the impetus to some distinct changes :) It's really quite a significant revelation once one gets their mind completely wrapped around the concept. I look back at how many times I asked for permission just to go to the bathroom and how often I was told that I couldn't... As always, great insight. Another reminder of why I subscribed to your blog. ;)
Just read the other posts and say the question about attending a Montessori school as a child,
I did for a few years and think it has had a significant effect on my outlook and ability to think way out side of the "standard" boxes people see.
I am always asking why do we have to do it that way ??????
I'm glad I stumbled onto your site. I couldn't agree with you anymore. I believe fear plays a major role in not "owning your life". We are taught to be fearful and it carries over to our decision-making. Combine that with the programming to do what is the "norm". That is why 90% of the people are sheep. They just do what they're trained to do.
Thanks for sharing.

When people ask for your permission. It feel awkward.
I had an intern asking me for a permission going to restroom.
I was like "...ok...".
On larger scale, I agree with what Tynan was trying ot state on how our life doesn't fulfill because we wait on for a permission.
Give yourself permission to do what you want to do. When you do and it is so liberating feel.
no need to ask permission to others who never bothered step into my shoes, no need ask approval to people who never understand my angle of view, and deaf to all the sharp prejudice words that won't be accurate.
Another great post. I've finally finished and left academia and looking to blaze my own path.
One thing I talked to my friend about though was that when you're put into a system, there's external motivational factors pushing you to learn and grow. But when you're on your own, you have to motivate yourself for better and for worse.
The point of my thoughts was in line with your initial post: Own Your Life . . . obviously they will have no trouble owning their own lives . . .
Hey there, really enjoy your posts. I'm a posting virgin, so this is fun and wanted to mention that I read an article in the paper the other day about a family that let their children do whatever they wish. They don't go to school and aren't even home schooled but learn whatever they are passionate about with the help of their parents. No rules, eat what they enjoy as long as it's in the household pantry any time etc etc ... what a fantastic concept ! I'm a bit of a gypsy so this tickled my fancy :) take care xx
No one is going to tell you an easy way to make money
In the beginning days of my gambling thing, it was very easy to make money. The system was basically foolproof and anyone with a credit card could make a good yearly income. I wasn't making money through any sort of skill, I was essentially exploiting a loophole. But here's the thing about loopholes: no one is going to tell you how to do them, especially not someone you don't really know personally. Because if too many people find out about a loophole, it closes. So if you want to make "easy money", you're probably going to have to stumble upon it yourself. If someone IS trying to share a loophole with you (especially aggressively, by email) it's probably a scam like a HYIP or a Forex trading scheme.
Most of the people who were gambling like I was now play poker. You can play poker online or in casinos and make six figures a year. But it's not a loophole, so it's okay to tell everyone. The barrier to entry is a few years of exhaustive practice, thousands of dollars to lose while learning, and the ability to sustain that lifestyle while you struggle to break even.
Over the recent years I've discovered that I've become something of an 'expert' on passive aggression. After having experienced it for most of my life, realised it, understood it, and overcome it, I have a unique perspective on what it is, how it affects your life, and how you can change it.
Everyone has passive aggressive traits in them, some more than others. However, when those traits become your predominant behaviour pattern, it becomes a 'personality disorder'. Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder (PAPD) is something I've had most of my life, and I certainly know the effects of it, but in the past few years I've been able to eliminate most of it.
All the books I've read about it say that healing PAPD is rare, if not impossible, because denying that you are responsible for breakups in relationships and social connections is one of the prominent traits. If you believe you're not responsible for the situations going on around you and in your life, then you also believe there's nothing you need to do for yourself. You're not the one with the problem, so there's nothing you need to heal. And so the behaviour and screwed up life continues.
When I realised I had PAPD and I read about how sufferers rarely heal because they don't believe they're responsible, I immediately saw all the times in my life when I blamed everyone else but myself for all the things that went wrong. And I knew that if I wanted to heal from this disorder, then I needed to start taking responsibility.

|2013 Blues Fest – Playing It by Ear: Kenny Wayne Shepherd (Saturday, July 6, 11 p.m., Bandshell)
|Music - Mississippi Valley Blues Festival
|Written by Mike Schulz
|Thursday, 27 June 2013 05:59
If you're an amateur guitarist hoping to turn pro, particularly one with an affinity for blues rock, you could certainly choose lesser talents to emulate than Kenny Wayne Shepherd. The 37-year-old musician, after all, has been already nominated for five Grammy Awards, has won two Blues Music Awards and two Billboard Music Awards, and was once named the world's third-finest blues guitarist by Guitar World magazine, with only B.B. King and Eric Clapton ranking higher.
If, however, you're an amateur guitarist who feels that the world of professional music will forever be out of reach due to your inability to actually read music, don't let that dissuade you from following your dream. It turns out that Kenny Wayne Shepherd doesn't read music, either.
"Yeah, I still play by ear," says Shepherd, who unofficially began his career as a self-taught guitarist at the tender age of seven. "I used to have to sound songs out one note at a time until I got from the beginning to the end of it. It was kind of a tedious process in the beginning, but you know, it's gotten easier over the years. Modern technology is a big help now, because I can just record things on my iPhone, but yeah – I just play what sounds good, and then I just have to remember it."
Meanwhile, does Shepherd have any regrets about still not being able to read music despite being such a formidable presence in his field?
"No, I don't," he says during our recent phone interview. "You know, what I'm doing has always worked for me, and so I don't see any reason to change it." And it's hard to imagine that anyone could conceivably want him to.
As a native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Shepherd says that music, from his earliest memories, was always in the air.
"My dad was on the radio," he says. "He was a disc jockey. So I grew up, my whole life, surrounded by music, going to concerts, going to the radio station, meeting bands that came through and stuff ... . So I had a huge library of music available to me as a result, and I liked just about everything. Country music, rock, punk, gospel ... . Everything."
But Shepherd says that even during his early grade-school years, he always had a particular fascination with the blues "because a lot of it focuses on the guitar, which I was really into, and because there's a certain amount of raw emotion that goes into blues music that I didn't find in every genre. It was always just really appealing to me."
His own personal exploration of the guitar, recalls Shepherd, began "when I was four or five years old. I had these 'play guitars' when I was a little kid – these little plastic guitars with nylon strings – and I actually learned my first notes on those. And I got my first electric guitar at a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert when I was seven," an event that, thanks to his father's connections, would go on to shape Shepherd's professional career.
"I don't really remember what he said to me," says Shepherd of the legendary guitarist, "but I remember meeting him and getting to watch his show from the side of the stage, and really just being mesmerized. And that was just a life-changing moment for me. From that point forward, all I wanted to do was learn to play guitar with that same kind of fire and passion."
He subsequently began to teach himself guitar in earnest, learning from the masters via his father's record collection. "Stevie Ray Vaughan was always a big hero of mine," says Shepherd, "but I liked B.B. King and Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins and Buddy Guy ... . I mean, I did my homework, man. I went all the way back to the early days of the blues and the Delta and acoustic blues through the electric era and stuff like that. I mean, a lot of blues guys were big influences on me."
And the extent of their influence was clearly evident when Shepherd eventually made his concert debut.
"I think I was 13 years old, and I was down in New Orleans on Bourbon Street, and I got to play with this guy Bryan Lee," says Shepherd, referencing the noted bluesman who invited the teen to join him on-stage, and with whom Shepherd would later play a 2007 set on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "That was a pretty cool moment for me, because it was really my first time in front of an audience, and I didn't know how well I would go over with the crowd, or if I'd be too nervous or whatever.
"But I got my first standing ovations that night," he continues. "I played almost the whole show with him and had a blast, and that kind of set my career in motion."
Shepherd's impromptu performance, and the buzz generated by the 13-year-old's guitar skills, eventually led to a booking at Shreveport's Red River Revel Arts Festival. And a video from that festival eventually caught the attention of Giant Records' Irving Azoff, who promptly signed Shepherd and his band to a multiple-album record deal – one that the guitarist signed before he was legally allowed to vote or see R-rated movies by himself.
"I don't know," says Shepherd of his rather staggering success as a youth. "It just kind of happened. I put a band together when I was 15 and started doing local shows, and I guess word just kind of got around the country about this young, blues-prodigy guitar player, which was kind of a strange thing for that day and time. People were interested. So I got signed to a record deal when I was 16, and I did my first record when I was 17." He laughs. "And I've been here ever since."
Shepherd says that the public reaction to that first album, 1995's Ledbetter Heights, came as a considerable surprise. "I really didn't know what to expect. I mean, I obviously thought it was a good record, but you never know what other people are gonna think about it. I just knew that I was getting to make a record, and I was doing songs that I had written, and I was having a great time doing it.
"But it was great," he continues. "The first single ['Déjà Voodoo'] shot up to number five on the rock charts, and the album went gold, and then eventually went platinum, so it was certainly a success."
Its success also meant that, at age 17, there was no turning back from the pursuit of a full-time music career.
"My parents insisted that I graduate high school," says Shepherd. "So I did that. And then the minute that I got out of high school, I hit the road. I think there was some concern from my parents at first. You know, it's kind of tough to make it in the music business, and the odds are generally against people being successful in the music business. But you know, it worked out."
As any blues fan will tell you, it most certainly did. Shepherd followed the release of Ledbetter Heights with 1997's Trouble Is ... , which holds the record for the longest-running album on Billboard's blues charts – spending 20 weeks at the number-one position – and spawned a chart-topping single in what is widely considered Shepherd's signature song, "Blue on Black."
That album also led to fellow chart-toppers in 1999's Live on, 2004's The Place You're in, and 2011's How I Go, plus a Grammy-nominated CD/DVD set titled 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads. That 2007 release found Shepherd interviewing and jamming with both venerated and unsung heroes of the blues world – everyone from blues legends B.B. King and David "Honeyboy" Edwards to the less heralded musicians from Muddy Waters' ensemble; the package won a 2008 Blues Music Award for Best DVD, and Shepherd says it's an accomplishment he takes particular pride in.
"We just wanted to go out and do a special blues project to show our appreciation to the blues community, and to the genre itself," says Shepherd of 10 Days Out. "Blues fans have been very good to me, and obviously the music has been a big inspiration for me. And so it was an opportunity for me to play with some amazing musicians, and also try to expose the rest of the world to some really talented musicians that were, for whatever reason, a bit lesser-known, but extremely talented.
"And there were a lot of them," he continues. "All the guys from Howlin' Wolf's band. Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith, the drummer from Muddy waters' band. Jerry 'Boogie' McCain. Cootie Stark and Neal Pattman and Etta Baker ... . I had never met any of those people, so it was really cool, and to get to make the film and the album was great."
Another career highlight came with the 2008 release of the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Signature Series Stratocaster, a collector's edition instrument commissioned by the Fender Musical Instruments and designed by Shepherd himself.
"Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and Steven Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy ... . I mean, there's a list of amazing guitarists that get to do signature guitars," says Shepherd. "So it's a huge honor to be asked to do that. We worked for about a year and a half designing the guitar, working on the sound of the pick-ups to get them to sound a certain way, and the shape of the neck to get the right profile, and stuff like that. Every guitar player changes something about the guitar to make it more suitable for themselves and the little things they do on it, and I'm really proud of it."
And as audiences will no doubt witness during his set at the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, Shepherd is also extremely proud of the career that has allowed him, more than two decades after his professional debut, to continue playing the music he grew up loving.
"I've learned a lot over the past 20 years," says Shepherd, "and if you continue to try and stay on top of your game, then your ability keeps getting stronger. Performing is definitely still as much fun as it was when I was younger. Probably more fun, in many ways."

Pan Am
Sumptuous fluff about American dominance.
Considered as an exercise in mile-high modernism, Pan Am (ABC, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET) comes up like a pair of black aces. The show is a light Cold War-period drama about stewardesses serving coffee, tea, and the free world, and it is, by critical consensus, the best-looking thing on network television. Even viewers unimpressed by the show's substance acknowledge its fine style. In the first shot, a plane taxies to its terminal—to the weightless temple of Worldport —and the Earth of Pan Am's impeccable logo, painted on a tailfin, eclipses the sun rising above Idlewild. This moment and many more are alive to buildings and machines, attentive to swizzle sticks and pencil skirts.
One does dread risking pretension when scrivening about the telly, but the show begs comparison with un incomparable spectacle de Jacques Tati. Play Time, his 1967 masterpiece, transformed Orly Airport and other Paris venues into a comedy about tourism and architecture. But where Tati held up the glass walls of his sets as mirrors reflecting a new society, the ABC show cutely capers. This columnist—who developed a thing for stewardesses during a pubescent viewing ofthe Jerry Lewis-Tony Curtis adaptation of Boeing Boeing—has argued that stories about them find their most natural expression in farcical forms. Pan Am's easy whirl fits the bill, when its chatter is snappy and also when it's not. Critics have noted that Play Time frequently reduces dialogue to the level of background noise, and the same goes here, sometimes unthinkingly. What is this diverting, well-acted, over-scored nonsense about? What do you suppose a viewer is fantasizing, in 2011, when she is watching escapist fluff about an American airline and all-American dominance?
The series opens in 1963—the height of the American Century, to use a term coined by Henry Luce in a Life editorial, one arguing that the United States should export democracy, lead the world, and do whatever comes after fulfilling Manifest Destiny. As it happens, Life features prominently in the Pan Am pilot. The lead character, Laura Cameron (played by Margot Robbie), has wound up on its cover in her uniform, rendered a star of skies overnight at random, by fate, as if plucked from the counter at Schwab's.
Laura has been on the job for all of three weeks, after fleeing the imminent prospect of a loveless marriage in her wedding gown. When she was fresh out of stewardess school, a photographer snapped a portrait of her with the brand-new Pan Am Building—the elongated octagon at 200 Park Avenue—in the background, and that's the cover of the Life magazine on stands in the episode, right next to Harold Hayes' Esquire. In the pose, Laura looks off and up with confidence, her chin set at an angle recalling WAC recruitment ads and Soviet propaganda posters. The cover line reads, "Welcome to THE JET AGE." Laura might as well be a figurehead, a beauty on the prow of a spaceship.
She looks great on paper, but her supervisor, as strict as a school mistress in a boarding-school B-movie, shows displeasure with the angle of her hat, the absence of her girdle, the tear in her stockings. Everyone is always encouraging Laura to keep up appearances. When it was apparent that her premarital cold feet were getting frostbite, her mother instructed, "Just smile through it, dear." When Laura, feeling butterflies, boards her first trans-Atlantic flight, her sister and crewmate Kate (Kelli Garner) says sardonically, "Smile through it, dear." Laura has a nice smile you see.
Kate's own storyline finds her spying on behalf of Western interests. In a flashback—its soundstage artifice made digestible, delicious even, because of the show's overall stylization—a rugged spook recruits her to keep her ears open. "A Pan Am stewardess can travel all around the world without suspicion," he purrs, and Kate steps into a plot suggesting a Graham Greene entertainment as written by Holly Martins. The third member of the crew is a sexually liberated Frenchwoman named Colette Valois (Karine Vanasse). She's free to move about the cabin, if you know what I mean, and soon has an unhappy reunion with a one-night stand who turns out to be married. The fourth is supposed to be Bridget Pierce (Annabelle Wallis), but she has suddenly disappeared without explanation. She makes a few appearances in flashbacks, which inform us that she's sophisticated, enigmatic, thrillingly pretty, and, like Kate, has connections in the intelligence community.

Tree spears car in Snohomish, putting homeowners in a bind
Nicole Loistl-Minkel looks over a 1985 Mitsubishi pickup Thursday that was speared by part of a large cedar tree that sheared off Tuesday night at the home of her in-laws, Brian and Theresa Minkel, of Snohomish. Theresa Minkel said the large broken section could strike their house if it falls the rest of the way. She said a tree removal service estimate to remove the tree was $3,200, but it is not covered by their homeowners insurance because the tree landed on the truck. They also must find an affordable way to remove the tree before it falls on the house because, she says, the insurance will not cover that damage either, now that they have been warned.

In the fall of 2010, the CBIC Board of Directors approved a measure to initiate a strategic planning process in 2011 to assess our mission and strategic directions, with the goal of having a complete three-year plan by the beginning of 2012.
To support the assessment, CBIC conducted three phases of research. First, qualitative research in the form of telephone interviews and informal focus groups were conducted in April 2011 among current and former volunteer leaders of CBIC and its two partner organizations, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and the Infection Prevention and Control Canada (IPAC Canada). The second phase consisted of an environmental and web scan to take a look at the environment that surrounds CBIC and solicit comments. The third phase of research was a quantitative survey conducted in June 2011 that covered similar issues as the qualitative research, and separate items. The quantitative survey included a total of 1,066 responses that were collected, from 5,597 people invited to take the survey, which is an overall response rate of 19%. The overwhelming majority of people asked to take the survey were from three categories: renewed certification, lapsed certification, and first-time certification.
Some key findings from the research include:
Using all of the qualitative and quantitative research results, the CBIC Board, staff, and key stakeholders met for a 1.5 day in-person strategic planning meeting in July 2011. After further refinement during the Fall of 2011, the following strategic plan was approved by the Board in February 2012:
CBIC is the leading provider of professional certification for infection prevention and control. Certification by CBIC is the standard of excellence that Infection Prevention and Control professionals will seek in order to ensure the delivery of quality care that the public expects, demands, and deserves.
The mission of CBIC is to protect the public through the development, administration, and promotion of an accredited certification in infection prevention and control. CBIC maintains and promotes professional certification of the highest quality through the accomplishment of key objectives in the following goal areas:
Note: the Strategic Plan is revised every 3 years, with the next revision due in 2016.

PEAKS is a non-profit volunteer organization founded in 1988 to raise funds to assist cancer patients in need.
Many people facing the challenge of cancer do not have the financial resources to pay for daily treatment-related costs such as transportation, food and other living expenses. PEAKS members organize a variety of fundraising events throughout the year.
The funds raised by PEAKS go specifically to these people in need.
St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation manages PEAKS funds and administers
the grants to cancer patients. Social workers from ALL local healthcare providers can submit a grant application from their patients that are in need of financial assistance.
PEAKS was established to provide immediate, short term, non-medical assistance to cancer patients experiencing financial hardship.
PEAKS primarily provides gas and grocery assistance; however, in emergency situation, assistance may be provided for other non-medical expenses.
Social workers and ACS coordinators from local healthcare facilities can submit a grant application for their patients that are facing financial challenges and qualify for PEAKS assistance.
Since its establishment in the spring of 1988, PEAKS has raised nearly one million dollars for cancer patients in Montana and Wyoming.

If you have a blog, I wish you a Happy Blog Buddy Appreciation Day! If you don't, I wish you a happy Wednesday! I feel like I have a lot more friends than I do because of blogging. I'm sure I would feel even closer to these women if I used twitter, but I feel like I'm on my computer/phone enough (my husband would agree). I'm sure I will cave one of these days.
You should subscribe to all of the blogs to my left. True Story! I can"t pick just one or two blogs to feature, but here are a few entries that I think are worthy of mentioning today.
- Christine's daughter whisper-yelled at her due to embarrassment.
- I still want to try Ali's margarita cupcakes.
- kjpugs tells unbelievably fabulous stories about life (because she is a rockstar) – like the time she got on the wrong plane.
- Every November, I count on Stephanie blogging consistently.
- Amy wrote a letter to the editor.
- I love Natalie's define beautiful series. I hope to write something for her series some day.
- I can't pick just one thing from my wedding date twin. She has been through so much lately.
- Lauren's 100 series is really interesting and a lot of fun to read.
I could write something about every blog I read, but this would be pages and pages long. I feel like I know a lot of people, but I just read their thoughts and I think some of them read mine. So, there you go.
Happy Blog Buddy Day to you!

Re post: Water pH questions HELP!!
I know this is a saltwater forum, but I thought someone could help me .
I have well water that tests 6.4 out of the tap. It's not hard. (the fish store said it's about mid range for hardness.)
My problem is that the next day this water will test 8.0! (using the API high pH tester.) This is the water in the aquarium and in a glass of water just sitting on my counter. What would cause such a fluctuation in water pH???
I have just started a 15 gal tank over a week ago. I have a bog log and 5 zebra danios and a few plastic plants. My filter is an outside Aquaeon for up to 30 gal.
Ammonia is on the yellow side of .25 ppm. Nitrates and nitrites are 0.
Do I need to do water changes yet? And when I do start changing water, do I use it right out of the tap at 6.4, or let it sit in a bucket for a day or two until it reaches the 8.0 mark?
I bought this for a tetra and 1 male betta tank. Will I ever be able to get the pH down to an acceptable level for them? Maybe I need to buy water? I hate to even think about toting 5 gallon jugs of water home from the grocery store!
Any advice will be eagerly awaited!
I have read a couple different times that the co2 in the water will cause it to read wrong if you test it straight from the tap. They said to shake it to release the co2 to get it to read right.
Byron would have more on this as I believe it was his post I might of read.
It may not be the co2 but its something that causes it. Either way they to shake it up and let it sit before u test it n

Actor Ranbir Kapoor's high-on-energy moves in new song "Badtameez dil" from his forthcoming movie "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" are being compared to his late grand-uncle Shammi Kapoor's famous dancing style.
Shammi Kapoor's typical moves from "Aaja aaja" from the 1966 movie "Teesri Manzil" and "Baar baar dekho" from the 1962 release "China Town" seem to have inspired Ranbir's overall steps and expressions in the peppy "Badtameez dil" number.
Director Ayan Mukherji says the song wasn't a planned "ode" to Shammi Kapoor, who died in 2011 following ill health. However, the outcome is coincidentally reminiscent of the late star's distinct style.
"I don't know if we can call it an ode to Shammiji. It wasn't a planned move. But now, when we look at some of the moves and Ranbir's mad energy, the similarities can't be ignored. I think people see the connection because Shammiji also possessed unparalleled energy when it came to dance," Mukherji said in a statement.
Shot over five days, the song has been choreographed by Remo Dsouza.
Mukherji, who had directed Ranbir in "Wake Up Sid" earlier, always wanted to shoot a dance number.
"I didn't have any song-and-dance number in 'Wake Up Sid' (2009), but I always wanted to explore shooting one. So I am really happy with the response," he added.
"Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani" is already creating a buzz with its energy-packed and fun-loving trailer, featuring Aditya Roy Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Deepika Padukone. It will release May 31.
