This is a collection of exceptional recipes from my life as a chef. They're divided into astrological categories to match with types of people that would best appreciate their flavors. There are special original recipes including exotic cocktails, salad dressings and flavored butters non-dairy vegan butter and sour cream.
I have been called a renaissance man but I don't understand why. Maybe because I have experienced so many lives within this one. I believe that I was just lucky to have learned from so many brilliant souls. I am interested in everything and everyone and my writing covers many different areas of interest.

Last night, I made your Butteflied Barbecued Leg-of-Lamb, along with Fruited Couscous with Moroccan Chicken Stew for 4 guests. "Everyone was blown away with the wonderful and rich tastes, and the sweet iced mint tea was the perfect paring with the lamb.
Mahalo for being such a generous and creative soul."

Dusting the Money
by Suzanne Bates - Nov, 2011
It was one of the craziest things I ever have done. Or been talked into doing. In college, my sorority, normally a cozy haven of afternoons (after class) filled with hot tea, girl talk, and blankets in front of a soap opera, was disrupted by the intrusion of real life. Girls noticed that their money was missing. Several of us, over several weeks. We had a thief in house. That's right, a bonafide, wallet-lifting sister who...

This holiday stress can result from what is happening at work and at home. These strategies for managing holiday stress at in the workplace can benefit both supervis...
You, Last?
by Suzanne Bates - Nov, 2011
My mother loves to tell the story about the night of my senior prom. I was on the decorating committee, we had some no-shows, the theme was ridiculously complicated to bring alive through paper streamers and balloons, and we didn't finish until after 5 o'clock. As I was careening into the driveway it shouldn't have surprised me to peer in the rear view mirror and see my date, Jimmy, no more than a block behind me in his green...
Does Your Office Space Reflect Your Brand?
by Valerie Sokolosky - Nov, 2011
When you think about personal branding, most of the time, you consider things like, what does my personal appearance say about my professionalism? Or, what does my web site say about my innovation? Or what does my speech say about my work ethic? What gets forgotten, or not even considered, is what does my office say about my company? And I mean physical office. Not your wonderful co-workers and superiors, but rather the fou...

The Five Career Stages
by Thomas J. Denham - Nov, 2011
I always ask my clients their age. I don't mean to make them feel bad about how old they are. But someone that's 55 is at a different stage in their career and life than someone that's 25 or 45. As a career counselor, I know that a 25 year old client presents dissimilar issues than someone who may be close to retiring and asking themselves the question, "What's next?" One of the pioneers in the field of career development,...

Children, you must study. And you must study for deep understanding. For those who do, your lives will be enlightened and all your dreams come true. (Ibyrai Altynsarin, mid-nineteenth century Kazak intellectual).
The great rush to rediscover and redefine national secular heroes following the 1991 collapse of the USSR is one part of the story of school reform in Kazakstan today. A new expertise is unfolding in this country as educators are freed from constraints of the Soviet system. Parents have a new opportunity to make national educational policy more responsive to their needs. Unfortunately the economic, political, and social conditions surrounding Kazakstan's schools devastate these potentialities.
Tokash Bokin was a Kazak military leader of the Bolshevik forces during Russia's Civil War. Afterwards, when heroes and place names were chosen by USSR government officials, many schools were named for him in his native Kazakstan. One place named for Tokash Bokin is a rural school in the Zhambul district of Almaty, about 60 miles from the nation's capital. Soviets dubbed the village school 'New Life'. Like most villages in Soviet Central Asia, Akkanar was literally created overnight by Russian, German, Caucasian, and Kazak farming families assigned to work on a collective farm. At that time, the village was named 'Prudky' or 'ponds' by district administrators. By 1994, most of the Russian and German families had left the region for homes either in the city or in the distant lands of their ancestors-leaving primarily rural Kazaks to reclaim the village.
'Prudky' has been changed into 'Akkanar', Kazak for 'source of white water'. Other Kazak heroes from the nineteenth century have likewise been officially resurrected, including Poet Abai Kunabaev, for whom the former national pedagogical university was renamed in 1995, and Zhambul Dzhabaev, namesake of the Akkanar Raion (district) whose 150th birthday was in August 1996.
Tokash Bokin remains the name of the school in Akkanar today because even though he was a Red Army hero, and thus a Soviet figure, he was an ethnic Kazak who gave his live to the Bolshevik cause during the country's civil war (1918-21). And during this era, many Kazaks believed that a Bolshevik government-publicly dedicated to democracy and the rights of workers-had to be an improvement over those of the colonialist Russian Czar. Stalin, of course, proved them wrong.

This campground was showing some end of season wear. Interior road was gravel and big rig access was fair. Our gravel level site was adequate, we pulled in to the back in site to get a wonderful view of the ocean and beach, this meant that the utilities 30amp plus water were on the wrong side, but no big deal. If you have a motor home choose the back in water front sites as the pull throughs will not afford you a view of the water through your windshield. The campground was very quiet with no road noise at all, no privacy between sites, there were a few shade trees but it did not interfere with satellite reception. We had space for our towed, a picnic table and fire ring. The bathrooms were clean and the laundry had a couple of washers and dryers. As other reviewers have mentioned it was not overly pet friendly, however there were doggie bags and a disposal station. WiFi and cell were good. Food stores, restaurants are close by in Belfast, and plenty of wonderful sightseeing up and down the coast. It's all about the view and we would stay here again. - tobyjug
Aug 2015 - $65.00
This small campground's prime asset is its location. It is right on the water with a private beach. We had an electric & water site with a water view. We had a gorgeous view of the water out of the front of our RV. The site was level. The site was of adequate size but I wouldn't call it spacious. We were only steps away from the access to the beach. The owners were friendly and helpful as were the other guests at the park. We were there during the Perseid Meteor Shower and had great views of the sky.
The only slightly negative item I would have is that they are very strict on your pets. There is only one small area behind the office where you are allowed to walk your dogs to do their business. As long as owners of pets clean up after their pets I do not see the need for this restriction. Maybe they have had issues in the past with owners that did not clean up their pets waste.
Even with the concern above, we would definitely return to this campground whenever we travel to Maine in the future. - Randy & Sharon
Jul 2015 - $65.00
This "RV Resort" was the most costly of the campgrounds we stayed at during our two week tour of Maine's sea coast.
The camping area had very few trees. Most sites had an ocean view but space on most sites was limited. Our site (#40) had a sewer connection in addition to water and electric. Only 4 of the sites at this campground had sewer connections, the balance had pump out service available in addition to the standard dump station.
This campground sits on a hillside running down from US Highway 1 to the shoreline. There are steps to allow access to the beach area. Excellent area for site seeing and Acadia National Park a short drive away. - Uplander

Transportable Database 12c Certified for EBS 12.2 Database Migration
By Steven Chan - EBS-Oracle on Jul 29, 2015
Database migration across platforms of the same "endian" (byte ordering) formats using the Transportable Database (TDB) process is now certified for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0).
The "endian-ness" of platforms can be checked by querying the view V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM using SQL*Plus (connected as SYSDBA):
SQL> select platform_name, endian_format from v$transportable_platform;
The following is a list of relevant platforms certified for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (12.2) with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 on the database tier:
Big Endian Platforms
Little Endian Platforms
Oracle Solaris on SPARC
Linux x86-64
HP-UX Itanium
Oracle Solaris on x86-64
IBM AIX on POWER Systems
Microsoft Windows x641
IBM: Linux on z Systems
1 Note: Microsoft Windows x64 is not yet certified and will be announced separately at a later date.
Using Transportable Database is the
fastest method for migration between platforms
of the same endian format. A requirement of this migration
process is that the source and target
database versions must match (including
patch set version), so
database upgrades as part of the
migration cannot be done.
For migration between platforms of different endian formats, users must use alternative migration methods such as export/import (datapump).

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — Merchants in Mount Vernon, Wash., believe they've smashed the Guinness World Record Saturday for the world's largest dish of potatoes au gratin, and they have the empty 80-foot long by 8-foot wide pan to prove it.
Thousands showed up Saturday to help watch and eat a dish made of 15,000 pounds of red potatoes, 400 pounds of cheese, 100 pounds of diced onions, 50 pounds of garlic and 200 gallons of cream. All the ingredients were grown locally.
The Bellingham Herald says (http://bit.ly/n75jpV ) the estimated weight of the dish was 16,000 pounds, or nearly double the current world record set in France.
Organizer Karin Springer said Sunday she feels confident the dish broke all records.
The Mount Vernon Downtown Merchants Association organized the event.

Amazon.com's Kindle Fire was easy to use, but not easy enough.
Most retailers know that consumers respond best when it's easy for them to shop (I'm looking at you grocers for putting the milk in the back of the store). That's why I was especially excited in November when the Kindle Fire tablet I ordered from Amazon.com Inc. arrived. Along with many other e-retailers, Amazon has a reputation for making it easy to shop on its site, and the Kindle Fire appeared to be another extension of that usability.
The Kindle Fire, with its 7-inch screen and Android operating system, would be my first e-book reader and a way to access Amazon's online video archives. What the Kindle Fire turned out to be, however, was only the second purchase I've returned to Amazon. What happened? Why was it worth it for me to return the device?
Before I get to that, let me declare that as a first effort the Kindle Fire is pretty good. Amazon had the iPad and other Android tablets as examples of what to include and what to leave out. For the most part, the Kindle Fire's fundamental functions, such as displaying e-books, watching videos and using the Amazon shopping app, work.
Also, let me declare that I own an iPad. A direct comparison between the two isn't entirely fair because their hardware is different and the iPad is more of a laptop replacement than the Kindle Fire. It is fair, however, to compare the usability of the two devices.
For me, the deal breaker with the Kindle Fire was its sluggish responses and how simple functions, such as adjusting the volume or returning to the home screen, were not as simple as I'd like. Amazon says it will issue a software update within the next two weeks to address many of these matters, a sign that I'm not the only disappointed buyer. But, as someone who already owns an iPad, it just wasn't worth holding onto the Kindle Fire.
One of my colleagues had similar thoughts about his Kindle Fire. He's going to wait for the update, hoping the performance will improve. But he's generally pleased with how the Kindle Fire performs now. He's an iPad owner, too.
As for what the Kindle Fire provides in access to content, it performed well. It just needs a little refinement in organization and making the software easier to use. I doubt that Amazon would invest in the Kindle Fire if its ambitions were not backed by investment. Rumors are swirling that the next version of the Kindle Fire already is in development. Perhaps that will be the one to buy. Again.

Vermont man goes to prison for 104 pounds of potBy LORI PILGER
Lincoln Journal Star | May 10,2013LINCOLN, Neb. A Vermont man nabbed near Lincoln with more than 100 pounds of marijuana and a disassembled gun asked for probation but got prison time Thursday.
Nathaniel P. Miller, 26, of Jericho, Vt., said he really didnt think about the consequences of his actions.
A Nebraska State Patrol trooper stopped him Sept. 3 near the Lincoln Airport exit for not having a front license plate. After Miller let troopers search his 2001 Dodge pickup, they found 104 pounds of marijuana in packages under the trucks bed liner.
I realize it was a terrible choice, and I want to be done with it, Miller said Thursday.
His attorney, Lawrence Whelan, said Miller had been using marijuana since he was 16 and was acting as a mule Sept. 3. But the disassembled gun among Millers personal property in a camper was not part of the drug activity, he said, arguing for probation.
I think this was a case where he saw an opportunity to make money, and he took that opportunity so he wouldnt have to work, Whelan said.
But Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Matt Acton said the amount of marijuana outweighed Millers lack of criminal history.
District Judge Jodi Nelson agreed, telling Miller he had made a business decision and must have known what could happen.
If you get caught, youre likely going to prison, and thats whats happening here, she said.
She gave him four to six years, with credit for the 248 days hes been in jail since his arrest.

Last update: Monday 7/13/15
From time to time when I go to the Starbucks at the Barnes & Nobel in Rockville, MD, I see a young Vietnamese artist seated at the table in the center of the room doing his thing. I can't describe it. And I get a kick out of watching other people stop dead in their tracks, staring, as their minds boggle, searching for words to describe what they are seeing, hypnotized as he extends whatever he already has on the sketchpad using ball point pens in real time.

Harmonix Tuning Up for the Return of Rock Band and Dance Central
Written Friday, April 11, 2014 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Harmonix has "grand plans" to bring Rock Band and Dance Central to the new generation of consoles, says CEO Alex Rigopulos.
Speaking during a PAX East keynote address, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said that while he wasn't announcing new entries to the two series, the studio plans to bring Rock Band and Dance Central to new consoles "at some point" and with "guns blazing."
Rigopulus' comments echo his statement last year that the Rock Band franchise will return "at the right point in time."
However, don't get too excited just yet. Speaking on Twitter, Harmonix's Director of Publishing & PR John Drake said, "People writing that "HARMONIX IS BRINGING ROCK BAND BACK" as a takeaway from this talk are pretty willfully misrepresenting what was said."
So while Harmonix would seem to be at some stage of preperation for the franchise's return, it doesn't look like it will be soon.
In the meantime, Harmonix is currently working on a Kinect-powered, Disney-themed music game called Fantasia: Music Evolved for Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jul 26, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
This necklace is sheer quality, combined with beauty. You can sense both just holding it in you hands. Who wouldn't feel extra-special wearing this "gem" by Leni Kuborn-Grothe of Kitzbuhel, Austria? It is done in soft ivory pearls and lovely AB rhinestones, handset, all accented with fine gold rope and tiny gold beads. I believe that the entire piece is hand done, then backed with black satin ribbon with Leni Kuborn-Grothe Kitzbuhel stitched on it.. It would go with any pastel formal or dressy dress, you can see the colors in the rhinestones in the pictures. T are no missing stones or pearls and no duds either. I photographed it using several different backgrounds but my old camera and I just can't seem to catch things right. T is a lot more "pop" to this piece than it is showing. It is 13 1/2" plus a 2" extender. What a lovely gift for some lucky gal!!!!! I plan on listing more items during the coming days, so keep checking back.
I accept (Prefer) PayPal, checks or MO. I only ship in the USA. Take up to five days to pay, but please give me a heads up about your payment plans.

(Not that I am dating, at my age and with a husband and 6 old dogs and 6 old cats, it is not possible. Just the only comparison I could come up with. POSTAGE ALWAYS INCLUDES DELIVERY CONFIRMATION and insurance is always OPTIONAL.. I will leave feed-back AFTER you do, if you find something unsatisfactory, PLEASE do me the courtesy of letting me know instead of the rest of the world.

Larry K. McMullen, Swine Field Specialist, Southeast Area
Problem Statement:
In June 2006 the National Pork Board introduced at the World Pork Expo the Pork Quality AssurancePlus (PQA Plus) program that would replace the PQA Level III and the Swine Welfare Assurance Program (SWAP) programs in the future. PQA Plus would combine the PQA Level III and the SWAP together. Having already completed 40 SWAP assessments for swine producers, Dr. Jim McKean, DVM, ISU Swine Veterinarian, recommended me to the National Pork Board to be a beta test advisor for the new PQA Plus program
Programmatic Response:
The PQA beta test was conducted at several locations across the United States to get a representative cross-section of swine producers. Three beta test phases were to be completed. Phase one (1) was testing the swine welfare component. I chose three types of producers to work with in this phase. A 400 sow farrow to finish operation, a small independent finishing pig producer utilizing a nursery and hoop buildings for finishing, and a 125 sow niche market producer that pasture farrows and uses a Swedish farrowing system with outdoor finishing lots. Phase two was to conduct producer educational training programs in pork quality assurance. Group training sessions were held in Jones and Cedar County utilizing the new materials. Also one on one training with two producers in Cedar and Jones County was conducted with the new PQA Plus material. Phase three was the self-assessment by producers to conduct their own site welfare assessment. A Jones and a Clinton County producer was selected for the self-assessment training. A pre and post meeting was held with each producer to train them to accomplish an on-farm self-assessment. After each phase of the beta test, either a face to face or a tel-conference de-briefing session was conducted by the National Pork Board with all beta test advisors. A final beta test advisor training session was held by the National Pork Board to assess the training methods for the potential advisors to the PQA Plus program.
Impact / Outcome:
Through the experiences gained in the beta testing of the PQA Plus program and relying upon the past experiences with the SWAP program, I was able to make some direct contributions to the development of the PQA Plus program. Using an assessment form developed by Terry Steinhart, ISU Swine Field Specialist, for the previously made SWAP assessments, I modified and updated the form for an assessment tool to be used in both the breeding and finishing areas of the PQA Plus assessments. . The assessment forms are now a part of the materials used in the PQA Plus program. Input on how to simplify the selection and calculation of the number of pigs to assess was incorporated into the new program. Numerous other suggestions were made to improve and change the program. An article in the March National Pork Board magazine had my comments and thoughts on the PQA Plus program. After the extensive beta testing, the PQA Plus program will be officially launched on June 8, 2007 at the World Pork Expo. I have been invited to make some comments on the new program at a News Conference that will unveil the PQA Plus program on June 8th.

Because it's colorless, there's less of a chance it will cause problems in the heat, but use a light hand to be sure. We like Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder because it's talc-free, it mattifies without feeling dry.

I thought that this was very well done. Sometimes looking at our brokenness can be difficult and we can often fall into denial about it. It is beautiful to understand that we can only be made whole by God, that our brokenness is not something to run from, our brokenness is another opportunity to see God working in our lives.
Brokenness is constantly present in life. This drama serves as a reminder of the hurt, pain, suffering, and brokenness present around the world. "Boys and girls, they get bought and sold. And people shot over diamonds and gold." But more than a reminder of the global brokenness, this drama reminds us that the Lord is bigger than all of the hurt and the pain. The Lord is the ultimate healer, and the Lord can heal our hearts when they are breaking. Often in brokenness we experience the Lord in new ways.
I enjoyed how this drama showed that everything is broken or is bound to be eventually. Even the "good" memories and things we share are subject to a fallen world. Only God will be able to take what is broken and make it whole.
It is hard to accept our brokenness, but it is necessary to do so. One of the actors says, "The beauty in this pot is in its purpose." We often say this about our stuff, but I've come to realize that there is beauty in our brokenness. When we accept it, we are able to learn and grow from it. My parents broken marriage has given me plenty of heartache, but I know that I have become more because of it. This video was very encouraging and I praise God for reconciliation. God is the healer of our broken hearts!
This was beautiful! I thank God for Reconciliation.
On of my favorite scriptures, and a guiding text for my ministry is 2 Corinthians 5:18-19: "18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation."
We must be commited to reconciliation. Not just reconciling people to God, but to one another.

"PRETTY LELAND" Leland by dtownkitty
Leland Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 24 photos
Leland is squished in between Lake Michigan and Lake Leelanau in the Leelanau Penninsula of northern Michigan. It is a very picturesque, small town that has managed to maintain its charm even while catering to its well informed, well bred, monied summer visitors.
There is no shortage of beautiful yachts in the small harbor, nor of docksiders, pullovers, Ralph Loren and Polo lables. But don't let the riff raff scare you off...There are plenty of down to earth folks and maybe even a few bikers in the mix for good measure as well as your average, brooding teenager. Besides, you can't get too upset about it. If it weren't for them, you might not be able to get your lowfat decaf french vanilla cafe latte with a sprinkling of nutmeg here.
I think that most people who visit this region of Michigan don't want the secret to get out about how fabulous it is. So...If you really want to be part of the "in the know" crowd, you should visit the Leelanau penninsula before everyone catches on.
Don't forget to visit the old, historic "Fishtown" which is actually part of the village on the water. There are attempts being made to fully restore and protect it from developement. It is just like an northeast fishing village from a movie.
- Pros:PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY
- Cons:NOT A LOT IN THE WAY OF LOCAL DIVES
- In a nutshell:WATCH THE SUNSET WITH YOUR MACCHIATO

Whoops, you've posted the same restaurant tip twice. But I agree about eating the local fish when you are at a lake, as I always do at Lake Constance. I haven't been to Lake Michigan for years, though I grew up very close to it. Nice photos here!

Systematic generation and molecular characterization of hES-derived cell strains utilizing combinatorial cloning.
The promise of regenerative medicine is the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to provide engineered cell lines and tissues for patients whose own tissues have been damaged or lost through disease. Examples of potential therapeutic uses of hES-derived cell lines include the replacement of pancreatic beta cells in Type I diabetics, to provide insulin, and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders with hESC-derived neuronal lines.
Despite the promise of regenerative medicine, it is not currently clear how many different types of cell lines derive from hES cells, as there has not been any systematic mapping of what scientists refer to as cell lineages. A lineage is an ordered developmental pathway, a route from one definable cell type to another, ultimately leading to a terminally differentiated cell type, such as an insulin-producing pancreatic beta cell. While many refer to the estimate of 200 such specialized cell types in the human body, it is probable that there are thousands of intermediate, transient cell types that arise during development, representing steps in such lineages. With the exception of blood cell lineages, however, there is little detailed information about the routes by which these cell types arise from stem cell progenitors and from each other. Moreover, there is not an existing repository of cell lines that are known to be expandable into known cell types. To the extent that such lines are "raw materials" for therapeutic cloning, there is an urgent need to develop such a resource.
This project will provide these resources: a map of hESC-derivable cell lineages and a broad physical repository of clinical-grade cell lines for use . The technologies to be employed are straightforward in principle, but require a high degree of technical sophistication to be carried out at an appropriate scale. In this project, over one thousand hES-derived cell lines will be derived from single cells that have begun specialization. As a result, it is anticipated that the resulting bank of cells will possess a diversity and purity never yet achieved in the field.
Additionally, the project will address a critical and relatively neglected area, namely, the genomic stability of hESC-derived cell lines. Genomic stability refers to the ability of a cell to retain its integrity, in other words, to retain its cell type identity, and to avoid the accumulations of mutations (changes in the genetic code) and epimutations (the "turning on" or "turning off" of chromosomal regions. Cells with genomic instability are poor candidates for therapeutic use, as they may be prone to losing their desired characteristics and to developing undesirable traits, such as the ability to form tumors. In this project, genomic stability will be measured in hESC-derived cell lines using genomic tools.
Through their funding of the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, the people of California are investing in the hope that the biotechnology industry will be able to deliver stem cell therapies for currently untreatable diseases. Like any industry, a future stem cell industry will require raw materials in the from of cell lines that can be directed to the formation of specific cell types, such as the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin, or the the motor neurons that atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
The lack of Federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research, however, has prevented many of the basic studies that are required before such basic raw materials can be developed. There is no existing repository of diverse cell lines that are known to be expandable into known cell types and manufactured in a way that they could be shared among researchers and used in humans to treat disease. The proposed research will provide these resources: a map of how cell lines develop from human embryonic cell lines and a physical repository of cell lines differentiated from human embryonic stem cells for use as raw materials to be shared among researchers so that they can compare their results with the same cell types. These cell lines will be developed here in California, and will provide materials for all other CIRM stem cell researchers. We envision that the database of information, and the cell lines generated and characterized in this project, will be leveraged by others developing targeted applications.

The first simulation example in the PSpice User's Guide is made up of 2 voltage sources, 2 diodes, 4 resistors and 1 capacitor. When I run the simulation from OrCAD Capture, it fails with: "ERROR(ORPSIM-15090): DC device Vin is undefined".
I found that I can edit the PSpice netlist file to get the simulation to run in SPice A/D primarily by changing the second voltage source name from V_V2 to V2.
Anyone know why that is? And, what I can do in OrCAD to "correct" the PSpice output.

In reply to oldmouldy:
Thanks, that was helpful in that it guided me to the answer to my original question.
So, to sum up, the information in Chapter 2 - Figure 6 - DC sweep analysis settings in the PSpice User's Guide, Second Edition 31 May 2000, is incorrect in one regard. When setting up the Simulation Profile, replace Voltage Source Name: "Vin" with the source name generated by OrCAD which, in the case of the example, becomes "V_V2". The simulation will then run correctly from OrCAD Capture.
In reply to RaggMopp:
I don't have access to a version of the Users Guide that is so old BUT, I suspect that you missed the Steps to name the IN net and change the RefDes of the swept source to Vin (from the likely default of V2) along the way. Things would then work correctly.
If "Vin" had worked, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Naming the IN net has no effect.
So then, since I am annoyed, I will critique what appears to be an incomplete attempt to edit a correction to the problem in the PSpice User's Guide.
In the latest online PSpice User's Guide a new figure is added: Figure 2-5. The difference being that the two sources are hardwired into the schematic diode clipper. At least, I assume that is the change, since the figure called "Diode clipper design" is still labeled 1-1 and the "Figure 2-5" links don't actually link to anything.
my problem is like this.....

In reply to zaied:
You need to remove the a variable named as "{RVAR}" from PARAM component. You can do this from capture by editing properties for part "PARAM". After this change following line from your netlist
.PARAM {RVAL}=1k RVAL=1k
should change to
.PARAM RVAL=1k
Also you should upgrade to latest 16.6 Lite (demo) installation. You can download this from http://www.cadence.com/products/orcad/pages/downloads.aspx#pspice

On March 2, five teams of University of Pennsylvania students with new public policy ideas for Philadelphia will compete in the final round of competition in the Fels Institute of Government's annual Penn Public Policy Challenge. The winning team will receive a $5,000 grand prize and move on to the National Invitational Public Policy Challenge.
"Now in its fifth year, the Public Policy Challenge continues to provide a forum for students to develop high-quality, actionable policy ideas," said David Thornburgh, Fels Institute executive director. "We ask students not only to generate a theoretically good idea that would have a positive impact on our city. The judges want to know, who will fund it? Who will support this? How can you make it happen?"
The teams will pitch their policy proposals to a panel of judges at Van Pelt Library at 3420 Walnut St. from 1:00-4:30 p.m. The winning team will be announced at 4:30 p.m. with a one-hour reception to follow. Individuals interested in attending can RSVP online at https://www.fels.upenn.edu/webform/public-policy-challenge-penn-finals or by email: email@example.com.
This year's edition of the University-wide competition drew more than 40 students, representing seven of Penn's 12 schools. The semi-final round in January winnowed the field of teams from 10 to the five finalists. In addition to the grand prize, two runners-up will receive $1,000 each to advance their proposals.
"In the lead-up to the final round, participants have been meeting with key stakeholders in the field to figure out how to strengthen their policy proposals," said Elizabeth Tatum, Public Policy Challenge executive director. "The presentations students give at the finals represent many, many hours of collaboration, research, and preparation. The students are really passionate about their projects."
The finalists are:
- ARC, Algorithmic Care, with a proposal to improve the poor health conditions of high-cost Medicaid patients.
- BetterBAIL, with a proposal to establish an online bail payment system for the Philadelphia prison system.
- Fill Up Philly, with a proposal to utilize mobile recreation centers in high-need areas to increase participation in the federally funded summer meals program for children.
- iCAN, with a proposal to increase college access for low-income students through mentorship and targeted communications during the summer between high school graduation and the first year of college.
- Philadelphia MVP, with a proposal to create an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention program for at-risk youth.
Each team's full proposal is available at https://www.fels.upenn.edu/penn-public-policy-challenge
The panel of judges includes Pennsylvania State representatives Dwight Evans and Madeleine Dean; Rich Negrin, Philadelphia managing director and deputy mayor for administration and coordination; Feather Houstoun, a member of the School Reform Commission; Donna Frisby-Greenwood, Philadelphia program director of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Mark Alan Hughes, a professor of practice, city and regional planning at the Penn School of Design.
"We are thankful for the participation of all the judges," Tatum said. "Their insight, experience and pulse on Philadelphia's policy issues are invaluable in the process of evaluating and advancing the teams' proposals."
The winner will advance to the National Invitational Public Policy Challenge on March 23 at the National Constitution Center and will compete with teams from 11 other top-tier public policy and public administration schools from across the country. This year's field will include participants from Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Georgetown University, New York University, Princeton University, University of Chicago, University of Georgia, the University of Minnesota, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Southern California and the University of Washington.
Details are available at www.fels.upenn.edu/penn-public-policy-challenge.

Pinkamina Pastel by Madness-with-ReasonWatch
©2013-2016 Madness-with-Reason
Working with some pastels one night, thought they came out nice.
I like how this turned out. Also like the style you have for drawing the Ponies overall. It certainly suits the slightly wicked aesthetic you're trying to develop.
Thanks man, always had a taste for grimdark but with substance and somehow ended up with this, I am still working on it. But yeah thanks for the feedback man. I am also really liking your style, dark and bold with marker finesse.
Aw, shucks! I really appreciate that comment.
If you like some "grimdark but with substance", I'd be curious to see what you have to say about my MLP/Elfen Lied crossover.
By the way, thanks for the watch!
I like the subject matter, you did a good job with the crossover. The strokes are nice and even and the background supports the foreground well even with all the pink. The line work is pretty smooth too, shows a good amount of confidence. The thing that I think takes away form the picture is the line work in the hair, I know the anime style supports a line heavy style but it takes all the attention away and has become the vocal point. My eyes keep traveling back to the hair even though that's not the thick of the picture. Try more watercolor techniques for better texture so you don't have to rely on lines to convey hair flow or anything similar. Some more highlights would be nice to give the picture some pop, try to keep the line work in the foreground, the cliffside is too dark and merges with the foreground too much losing depth in the picture. Be sure to always keep track of the form, it looks good but her body loses shape in a few spots.

Iran sentences ex-Marine to death in CIA case
TEHRAN, Iran A former U.S. Marine interpreter arrested while on a trip to visit his Iranian grandmothers has been sentenced to death as a CIA spy, state radio reported Monday, in a case likely to become a new flashpoint in the escalating tensions between Tehran's defiance over its nuclear program and Washington's efforts to impose more crippling sanctions.
It was the first time an American citizen has been sentenced to death in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, according to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.
"We are seriously concerned regarding the death sentence, secrecy, and continued lack of transparency surrounding the prosecution," said Hadi Ghaemi, a spokesman for the New York-based group.
The espionage charges against Arizona-born Amir Mirzaei Hekmati were similar to previous prosecutions against Americans who were sentenced to jail time and later freed, including an Iranian-American journalist in 2009 and three U.S. citizens detained along the Iraq border. Iranian prosecutors, however, had stressed Hekmati's links to the U.S. military in calling for capital punishment.
In Washington, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor described Hekmati, 28, as a victim of false charges and said the U.S. was working with allies to "convey our condemnation to the Iranian government."
"Allegations that Mr. Hekmati either worked for, or was sent to Iran by the CIA, are simply untrue. The Iranian regime has a history of falsely accusing people of being spies, of eliciting forced confessions, and of holding innocent Americans for political reasons," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Regardless of the facts of the case, Iranian officials may now see Hekmati as a potential bargaining chip in efforts to fend off tighter U.S.-led sanctions that could undercut Iran's oil industry.
Iran has recently ramped up its warnings about U.S. economic pressures and military involvement in the region, including threatening to use warships to close off vital oil tanker traffic in the Gulf and displaying a captured CIA surveillance drone last month as evidence of what it called covert plots by Washington.
Swiss diplomats - who represent the U.S. interests in Iran because Washington and Tehran have no diplomatic relations - have tried unsuccessfully to gain access to Hekmati, who graduated from high school in Michigan. Hekmati claims dual citizenship, but Iran considers anyone born to an Iranian father to be a citizen solely of the Islamic Republic.
Hekmati's mother, Behnaz, said she and her husband Ali - a professor at a community college in Flint, Michigan - were "shocked and terrified" by the conviction and death sentence.
"A grave error has been committed, and we have authorized our legal representatives to make direct contact with the Iranian authorities to find a solution to this misunderstanding," she said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. "We pray that Iran will show compassion and not murder our son, Amir, a natural-born American citizen, who was visiting Iran and his relatives for the first time."
Iran has often claimed it has detained foreign spies, but few details ever emerge. Hekmati's case stood out as a high-profile propaganda tool for Iranian authorities.
Iran claims Hekmati received special training and served at U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan before heading to Iran for his alleged intelligence mission.
In a nationally broadcast video on Dec. 18, Hekmati was shown delivering a purported confession in which he said he was part of a plot to infiltrate Iran's Intelligence Ministry.
Hekmati said in the video that he entered the U.S. Army after finishing high school in 2001 and received military and intelligence training. He said he served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq for two years with duties that included helping Iraqi politicians sympathetic to Americans.
