Coming up: Comet ISON in November 2013
You may have heard of Comet ISON, a comet discovered last year that is currently approaching the Sun. It is expected to be visible in the SOHO-LASCO C2 and C3: from SOHO's viewpoint the comet enters from the lower right early on November 27 and exits towards the top near the end of November 30 this year.
It will also be visible from the COR1 and COR2 instruments on board both STEREO spacecraft. The SOHO Hotshot webpage for Comet ISON has many more links to more details on the path of the comet as seen from SOHO and STEREO. At the moment it looks like this, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. It might be a spectacular sight from Earth. The appearance of comets from Earth is hard to predict because how it looks when it gets closer to the Sun depends on the details of its composition. We'll have to wait and see!
Helioviewer Server Technical Difficulties
We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with our main Helioviewer server. While we work on fixing it, we have moved all helioviewer.org services over to our backup server. All normal helioviewer.org services should be operating nominally. Please contact us if you notice anything amiss with helioviewer.org. JHelioviewer services are currently not operational, but we hope to have these up and running as soon as possible. Near real-time AIA and HMI images should be available as usual; streams of images from SOHO, STEREO and PROBA2 should be back to near real-time within 24 hours.
We apologize for the interruption to Helioviewer services, and we thank you for your patience.
Yohkoh SXT full disk images now available
We are happy to announce the availability of full disk Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) images on helioviewer.org. SXT images x-rays from the Sun, and therefore looked at some of the hottest plasmas on the Sun. These data are important in trying to understand solar flares and the heating of the Sun's corona.
Yohkoh ("Sunshine") was launched in August 30, 1991, from the Kagoshima Space Center (Uchinoura) in Japan, and was a project of the Japanese Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). The scientific objective was to observe the energetic phenomena taking place on the Sun, specifically solar flares in x-ray and gamma-ray emissions.
Yohkoh carried four instruments to detect energetic emissions from the Sun: the Soft X-Ray Telescope (SXT), the Hard X-Ray Telescope (HXT), the Bragg Crystal Spectrometer (BCS) and the Wide Band Spectrometer (WBS). A team from the United States collaborated on SXT, and teams from the United States and the United Kingdom collaborated on BCS.
SXT imaged X-rays in the 0.25 – 4.0 keV range. SXT used thin metallic filters to acquire images in restricted portions of the energy range. We are making images from the thin aluminium filter (thin-Al), and the aluminium-magnesium-manganese filter (AlMgMn) available. White-light images are also available up until November 1992. An example thin-aluminium image is shown below.
SXT could resolve features down to 2.5 arc seconds in size. Information about the temperature and density of the plasma emitting the observed x-rays was obtained by comparing images acquired with the different filters. Flare images could be obtained every 2 seconds. Smaller images with a single filter could be obtained as frequently as once every 0.5 seconds.
Yohkoh ceased operations on December 14, 2001. The SXT images we are making available cover portions of Solar Cycles 22 and 23 (we are currently somewhere close to the maximum of Solar Cyce 24). This historical data allows us to compare current solar behavior to previous solar behavior. Such studies allow us to better understand how the Sun operates on timescales of decades and longer.
Yohkoh SXT images are the first images of soft X-ray data available on helioviewer.org. We hope you enjoy examining this different view of the Sun on helioviewer.org.
Maintenance Complete; Friday 1st February 2013
Maintenance operations on the Helioviewer server are now complete, ahead of schedule. All Helioviewer services should be up and running as normal. We thank you for your patience in the last three days while our maintenance operations were ongoing. Please contact us if you notice a departure from normal services.
Helioviewer Team.
Maintenance postponed until Friday 1 February 2013
Today's announced maintenance has been postponed until Friday 1st February. Helioviewer services will be brought down around 1600-1700 UT and will be brought back up no later than 2200 UT. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Helioviewer Services Temporarily Down For Maintenance 30 January 2013
All Helioviewer services (helioviewer.org, JHelioviewer and the embed functionality) will be temporarily suspended today (30 January 2013) to allow for maintenance of our server. We anticipate that services will be suspended at around or before 1700 UT and will resume again at around 2230 UT at the latest (could be much earlier). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
SDO maneuvers today
From today's SDO blog entry:
Today, starting at 1315 UTC (8:15 am ET), SDO will execute the EVE Field of View maneuver followed by the HMI/AIA Flatfield at 1630 UTC (11:30 am ET). During these maneuvers the science data will be interrupted. These maneuvers and last weeks' Delta-H thruster firing were flipped in the schedule published earlier.
Instruments can degrade in the harsh environment of space, and so it is important to calibrate at regular intervals to make sure that we have the best data available at all times. SDO therefore occasionally makes special maneuvers that enable the measurements to be made that can be used to help calibrate the instruments onboard. Whilst these maneuvers are going on, some of the AIA and SDO images may look unusual.
SDO has three instruments onboard: AIA, HMI and the Extreme Ultraviolet Experiment, EVE. The EVE instrument is designed to measure the solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) irradiance. The EUV radiation includes the 0.1-105 nm range, which provides the majority of the energy for heating Earth's thermosphere and creating Earth's ionosphere (charged plasma). The majority of EVE data are time-series of measurements of the spectral content of solar extreme ultraviolet irradiance, although some low spatial resolution x-ray images are also taken by the EVE Solar Aspect Monitor (SAM) instrument (see the example below). EVE gives us lots of information on the spectral content of the Sun's radiation changes with time, which is very important for understanding the Earth-Sun connection.
User highlight: oscillating coronal loop
Posted by jack in AIA, Science, User Highlights on January 9, 2013
YouTube and www.helioviewer.org user коля павл uploaded this great example of an oscillating coronal loop
As the movie progresses, you see a small eruption take place. As the eruption starts, you can clearly see the southern base of the loop displace. The loop appears to be released in some way, which shakes the whole loop along its entire length. This event is a great example of a transverse coronal loop oscillation. These were first observed by the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) in 1998. Since these initial observations, many more examples have been observed, by both TRACE and AIA. The mechanism of the excitation of these waves remains hidden, but it can be connected with a blast wave generated in a flare epicentre. For scale, the Earth is roughly the same size as the Helioviewer logo in the bottom right hand corner of the movie.
YouTube and www.helioviewer.org user Txema Mutant also caught the oscillation
although it is much more difficult to see in the AIA 193 Angstrom channel compared to the AIA 171 Angstrom channedl(the dark wavy material you see are motions in a prominence, not the same as the coronal loop oscillation).
Observations of coronal loop oscillations, coupled with a theoretical understanding of how these oscillations behave in the coronal plasma has lead to a new field of study called coronal seismology. Coronal seismology is analogous to seismology on Earth. Seismology is the study of earthquakes and the propagation of waves arising from earthquakes, and can be used to infer properties of the structure of the Earth. Similarly, coronal seismology is used to measure properties of the Sun's coronal plasma. Using coronal seismology, we can derive the density and magnetic field of the coronal plasma, measurements that are difficult make in other ways.
Thanks to коля павл and Txema Mutant for sharing these movies!
Total Solar Eclipse, November 13.
A total solar eclipse will be visible in the Southern Hemisphere on November 13.
Eclipse first contact begins at approximately 20:36 UT on November 13 and continues until approximately 23:48 UT on November 13. Live streaming of the eclipse is available at http://www.ustream.tv/cairnseclipse2012. Please go to
for many more details concerning this eclipse. An interactive map is available here.
Helioviewer services to be suspended due to Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy is currently approaching the East Coast of the United States. Winds from the hurricane are expected to cause widespread power outages in the next 48 hours (Oct 29-30). Since an unplanned power outage to a server can cause severe damage, we are taking the precautionary measure of shutting down the Helioviewer server. The server will shut down in the next hour. We expect to be back online by Wednesday 31st October EST at the latest, contingent on the weather and the availability of power. We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.
Helioviewer.org and JHelioviewer Back Online
Helioviewer.org and JHelioviewer are both back online after last week's outage.
The downtime was caused by a problem encountered while expanding our storage capacity, which has since been fixed.
We are currently in the process of restoring images from some earlier years and as a result certain images may not be accessible over the next couple days.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Technical difficulties with image availability beginning October 16
You may have noticed that we currently do not have any images available, even although the website is up and running. This is because we are experiencing some technical difficulties upgrading our image capacity. We are diagnosing the problem at present, and we will make images available as soon as we possibly can. We apologize for the interruption to our services.
Planned Helioviewer Outage Beginning 25 September, 21:00 UT
All Helioviewer Project services will be brought down beginning at approximately 21:00 UT on 25th September 2012. This is a planned outage, and is required to perform necessary maintenance. Helioviewer.org and the JHelioviewer server at the Goddard Spaceflight Center will be unavailable. Helioviewer Project images used by third party applications will also be unavailable. We expect to return to normal service at approximateky 13:00 UT on 26th September 2012. We apologize for this necessary but brief interruption in our services.

The program is inspired by (but not affiliated or related in any way to) Google's Summer of Code initiative.
JHelioviewer, in collaboration with the start-up company Luxunda, and SunPy have been selected as mentoring organizations, and students are encouraged to apply until 27 July 2012 (11 am UTC).
User highlight: Comet 96P/Machholz returns
Posted by jack in General, LASCO, User Highlights on July 12, 2012
YouTube and Helioviewer.org user otraLoly shared this short video of the return of Comet 96P/Machholz to the LASCO-C3 field of view. Thanks for sharing your video! More images of the comet will be available soon on Helioviewer.org.
The small, tadpole-like extended feature approximately in the center of the field of view in the image below is Comet 96P/Machholz.
Comet 96P/Machholz has an orbital period of about 5.2 years, which means it has been seen before in LASCO observations. Here is an example image from 2007
and five years before that in 2002,
The dates for the entry of Comet 96P/Machholz were obtained from the transit page of the LASCO instrument. It is projected to be visible in the LASCO C3 field of view from July 12 – 17, and it may also be visible in the images from the STEREO A/B coronagraphs.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Mandelbulb - 3D fractal generator to 3D Print via voxel stacking. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61735&th=12798#msg_61735 <![CDATA[Hey, thought some of you would find this interesting.

 I recently stumbled across Mandelbulb 3D. Its a 3D fractal generator that has some really awesome features. Its been around for a while so has a healthy community of contributors (Fractal Forums.com) and above all its free.

 (FIG.1) is an image demonstrating how you can keep zooming in and the algorithms will keep generating infinite detail. Lighting , Fog, depth of field can all be adjusted

 (FIG.2) Whats more amazing is that the program features Voxel Stacking. This basically means you can generate an editable/printable file from what you can see in your viewport.
 I tried loading the slices from Mandelbulb into 3D Slicer, but had no luck (there maybe a way though).
 Mandelbulb creates the slices and Fiji sequences them and creates the 3D mesh as a .Obj. Blender is simply the mesh editor I chose. (Zbrush, and Mesh labs are also a good option).
 Its a good idea to start small when using voxel stacking. Test to see what your computer can handle. You can create a 5Gb .OBJ but Id be surprised if you could open it.
 NOTE: Mandelbulber hasnt got voxel stacking. Although it seems a little more user friendly if you just want to fly around fractals for rendered images.

 Download Mandelbulb 3D
 Download Fiji

 Here are the tutorials I used to get started. Thanks to Don Whitaker for doing these.
 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
 Number 5 is the one regarding voxel stacking.
 (FIG.3) is just some images I found while exploring.

 Enjoy!

 Voxels are awesome

 edit: Lol, this triggered me to finally retry the Mandelbulb in my own voxel engine, thanks for the re-inspiration!

 Managed to get my own variation of Menger3 to a printable state. But will have to put it on the backburner as its been priced at 1000GBP. Not too surprising when the volume is 1500cm3. (only 30cm diameter )

 Is your engine avaliable for dl?

 Ps GJ on the price calculator.........fingers crossed for a standalone version

 ]]> Piers 2013-02-13T19:06:33-00:00 Re: Mandelbulb - 3D fractal generator to 3D Print via voxel stacking. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61985&th=12798#msg_61985 <![CDATA[Lol, well the idea is to release my engine one day, but for now it is quite the hack job, it only compiles to 64bit windows exes which frequently crash my system. Typical jobs run with 16Gb and over. So it only tends to run nicely with a lot of TLC
 And I constantly hack changes for a particular projects, but perhaps one day

 Regarding the pricing calculator, Thanks
 Hmm yes, standalone would be nice. But cross platform would be useful.
 And I hate java, so that is out
 I imagine it should be possible in javascript?

 Owh yes Menger, another one of those frustratingly fun fractal
 Never got past the basic shapes and variations. Tried a few hollow ones, but as yet unfinished.
 Did you see the alternate distorted Menger versions on fractalforum using IFS?
 ]]> virtox 2013-02-13T19:24:00-00:00 Re: Mandelbulb - 3D fractal generator to 3D Print via voxel stacking. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62125&th=12798#msg_62125 <![CDATA[Ha! yeh thats a bit out of my systems reach! Ill just have to wait for this 'one day' you speak of
 So how is your re-inspiration going? Found any interesting designs?

 To be honest im a physical modelmaker moving over to printing so script, etc isnt really my area. But lets hope so.

 Nope, can you send the link? Sounds interesting. I have had a play combining with the '_' formulas. Infact the Menger above is using _AmazingBoxSSE2.
 But most of the time when I add a second formula it goes a bit crazy. I need to do some more reading on fractal forums to better understand what is happening when I change the numbers.
 Heres an interesting variant, Annoyingly I didnt save the scene. When/If SW get the multi-material printer you could print something similar to this within the transparent material. (Like Objets ship in a bottle)

 Have nice weekend

  http://www.fractalforums.com/ifs-iterated-function-systems/k aleidoscopic-%28escape-time-ifs%29/
 Would be cool to one day get an actual sponge like that

 For now I am tweaking the basic Mandelbulb rendering formulas as this kind of "rendering" works best with a good distance estimator, as this allows for a smooth density field to polygonize against. Helps alot against dust, spikes and artifacts.
 So far only three simple bulb attempts:
 http://www.shapeways.com/model/921847/mandelbulb-001.html
 http://www.shapeways.com/model/922158/mandelbulb-001b.html
 and latest:
 http://www.shapeways.com/model/924146/mandelbulb-002.html

 Coloring is chosen based on r, theta and phi from a lower iteration.

 All are still rough estimates as the original colored meshes are in the 6 million poly range.
 I have a script somewhere to reapply the colors after the mesh has been decimated.
 But I also still have to work on hollowing them out etc.

 What might work well for that render of yours is to get it laser etched in glass
 ]]> virtox 2013-02-15T19:18:45-00:00 Re: Mandelbulb - 3D fractal generator to 3D Print via voxel stacking. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62328&th=12798#msg_62328 <![CDATA[oO yeh they are really nice! Will have to have a play with those when i get a free moment. Thanks

 Your render looks great....Very smooth! . seems like the fog helps fill the deeper pits aswell. What do you mean by, ' works best with a good distance estimator'?

 Yeh I have alot of problems with dust and spikes when using 3D Slicer. it has a few tools to help with this but am still getting the hang of it.

 My way for deleting internal geometry then hollowing out the bones I print is uber basic, but works. Turn on Limit selection to visible > Invert selection > delete > Export > Open in Magics/Netfabb......let it repair the file (I only do this because the process isnt perfect and it tends to create holes) > Export > Open in Blender > Booleon subtract. Again very basic for my needs it works.

 Thats true.......although always thought the 3D laser engraving looked a bit cheezy  It invokes images of couples faces, roses and kitchy landmarks in souvenir shops

New Haven — Convinced that Steven Thomas had turned himself around years ago, U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton on Wednesday sentenced the former tribal treasurer convicted of stealing from the tribe that owns Foxwoods Resort Casino to two years probation, the first three months of which must be served in home confinement.
Thomas must also repay the tribe $177,603, the amount of his 2007 salary as assistant director of the tribe's Department of Natural Resources Protection, and serve 200 hours of off-reservation community service. The judge chose not to impose a fine.
"Quite impressively, you reformed yourself — and before the hot breath of an investigation was on your neck," the judge said, addressing Thomas and his attorney, Richard Reeve, who stood before her at a lectern. "That's a strong statement."
Reeve had argued in a pre-sentencing memorandum that Thomas had accepted responsibility for his wrongdoing well before the federal government began a 2010 investigation into corruption on the Mashantucket reservation.
Thomas left the tribal-government job voluntarily and was elected to the tribal council in 2009. In 2012, he was named council treasurer.
He resigned from the council last Oct. 2, a day before pleading guilty to a single count of embezzling from the tribe. In exchange for his plea, the government dropped two other theft charges and agreed not to oppose Thomas' bid for a prison term shorter than the 12 to 18 months suggested under federal sentencing guidelines.
"It's entirely at the court's discretion," Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Mattei said Wednesday.
Thomas, at the time of his pleading, admitted in court that he "intentionally" signed time cards on which he "overstated" the hours he worked. While the parties had differed over the amount of work Thomas performed, Reeve said Wednesday there was no dispute that "the vast majority of the time, (Thomas) was a no-show employee."
Reeve described Thomas' transformation, a process Reeve said mirrored the tribe's comeback from the financial difficulties that forced it to restructure a debt load of more than $2.2 billion.
"We all hope that a light will go on," Reeve told Arterton. "Sometimes it takes someone bottoming out … and being arrested. Without question, that light went on (for Thomas) and has been shining. It was shining before this investigation ever began."
Thomas, whom the tribe rehired in a new position in December, said he was "brash, very complacent, very entitled and unmotivated" when he first went to work for the tribe. "Then, one day the light bulb switched."
As a councilor, he said, he had to walk among "blood relations" every day and answer tough questions.
"It's all business, all the time," he said. "It was the best thing I could have done. I was looking to redeem myself. … I'll have to do that for the rest of my life."
Thomas' conviction will prevent him from holding tribal office again or working on the tribe-owned casino's gaming floor.
His older brother Michael, indicted along with him in January 2013, was convicted months ago by a jury that found him guilty of embezzling about $100,000 from the tribe by misusing a tribe-issued credit card for personal expenses. He began serving an 18-month prison term last month.
Unlike Steven, Michael Thomas, a former tribal chairman, held office at the time of his transgressions.

Without a paycheck and without any fanfare, you've devoted yourself to girl
leadership. You put in long hours, stay patient as girls lead their own
activities, and bring fun and spirit to everything girls do.
all pays off. Because girl leadership isn't only about being class president or
volleyball captain. Not every girl will grow up to run a company, be a
politician, or manage a science lab, if that's not her passion. But every girl
can be a leader in her own life, so that she—and everyone around her—blossoms
into their full potential. A girl leader not only avoids going along with
friends who want to skip class or shoplift, but also convinces them not to do it
themselves. She supports the aspirations of other girls—no matter how lofty—even
if she doesn't share those aspirations. And she steps in when she sees others
making fun of a fellow student who doesn't find herself among the popular
leadership, Girl Scout style. That's making the world better. And that's the
difference you make in the world, one girl at a time. Thank you.
sure how to share your appreciation? Volunteers tell us that the most meaningful
thank-you gift is a handwritten note about the impact they've had on girls'
lives. Of course, volunteers won't say no to flowers, gift certificates, and

2009-2010 Best Value Home Renovation Projects
Posted By Jim On 11/03/2010 @ 7:03 am In The Home | 7 Comments
I like taking a look at this list [3] every year because it gives me a good understanding of what makes a good renovation project, in terms of ROI, and what makes a terrible one. When it comes down to it, I know it's not about ROI. You don't add a deck to your house because of the ROI, you add one because you want a deck. You put a bedroom above the garage not because some book says the ROI is high, you do it because you want a place your guests can stay that beats an air mattress in your study.
However, if you have several projects on the list and you aren't sure which one to take on first, a list like this could help break the tie.
I haven't looked at the list since 2008-2009 [4] but not much has changed. Back then, the best renovation you could do was the addition of a deck, with a recoup of 81.8%. This year, the best major project is the addition of an Attic Bedroom (wood deck addition came in #2).
|2008 Recoup %
|2010 Recoup %
|Attic Bedroom
|Deck Addition
|Siding Replacement
|Minor Kitchen Remodel
|Window Replacement (Wood)
|Window Replacement (Vinyl)
As you can see, the recoup values have fallen a little, which I believe reflects the softer housing market, but they've been falling a few fractions of a percent every since I've been looking at the list. One interesting note from the original list is that there is one midrange project that is "profitable," replacing the entry door (steel) with an ROI of 128.9%. It's a cheaper project ($1,172) so getting a return isn't as difficult, especially when it's such a big aspect of curb appeal.
Worst ROI project is a home office remodel (48.1%) and the addition of a sunroom (50.7%). However, like I said earlier, sometimes you want to do a project because you'll enjoy it, not because of the ROI. Sunrooms are great if you love them… but they won't make you any money.

I have 2 Dell 1600 Laser Printers with the same problem. The paper does not feed from the tray. We can feed page by page thru the bypass but that's not ideal, as you can imagine. It appears that the arm that should lower the feed wheels is not lowering. Before I dig down too deep below the gears I was hoping to get some advice from anyone who has had the same problem.
Also, does anyone know who to contact to get a service manual for this printer. I've tried to call Dell but never get a person.
Thanks in advance,

Re: New and have lens questions. Sony new vs Minolta. Plus zoom question. Advise plea
Since you brought up kids, the only thing I would mention about Minolta lenses (of which I use almost exclusively) is that, since they are screw driven, they are louder than newer Sony lenses using SAM (still a bit noisy) and SSM (almost silent). Sony still does have screw lenses, mostly holdovers from the Minolta days, but if you plan to take a lot of videos be mindful of the loudness the lens. I rarely take videos so it's not a concern for me.

Thank You Maya Angelou!
Maya Angelou novelist, actress, professor, singer, dancer and activist has fallen silent.
We would like to say thank you Maya Angelou for all of your contributions that you have shared with society.
Watch the video below to get a glimpse of this "Phenomenal Woman".
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Shout out to Gary BlackStar for influencing this post right here. Lauryn Hill performing "Mr. Intentional" live on MTV Unplugged back in 2001. Thanks for creating and sharing gems like this Lauryn!
"See I know you can't help me, Mr. Intentional
The only help I need to live, is unprofessional
The only wealth I have to give, is not material
And if you need much more than that, I'm not available
Please don't entertain me, Mr. Intentional
Oh I dont need your sympthy, Mr. Intentional
Stay away from me, Mr. Intentional
So one dimensional, Mr. Promotional, Mr. Emotional, Mr. Intentional
Ohhh ohhhh, ohhhh" by Lauryn Hill

"Got To Give It Up"
You've probably heard the news by now about the legal drama between "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and "Got To Give It Up" by Marvin Gaye.
Thicke says that no samples were used in the making of the smash hit produced by Pharrell Williams.
The "Blurred Lines" songwriters have filed a lawsuit against Marvin Gaye's family and Bridgeport Music.
Is this defense a good offense?

Dreams Coming True Can Be So Stressful
Monday, July 16, 2012
I haven't mentioned it yet on here, mostly because I'm so used to keeping it a secret that I'm kind of afraid the cat will be let out of the bag before it's supposed to be, but since I'm so close to "D-Day", here goes: On August 2nd I am eloping and marrying the love of my life!!!!!! It's a secret because we can't afford a wedding and we thought it would be really cool if it was just Randy and me, with the boys as witness. I'm very excited!
This morning we picked up our marriage license. It's kind of hitting me that this is really happening! After almost 10 years together! After a really shaky start when he told me that he was still grieving for his wife and didn't see himself with anybody else ever again. I am so blessed, we're truly best friends and this seems like the exclamation point on our life together.
I am OVERWHELMED with all kinds of emotions - joy, elation, terror - but it's really the anxiety that's kicking my butt. Nothing like my dreams coming true to really shake up all my ancient insecurities and drive them right up to the surface!
And my food is showing it, I have been "soothing" my nerves with food a lot over the last few days.
I am having alternating thoughts that he's going to run off to avoid getting married, he's going to get killed in a motorcycle accident two days before the big day, **I** am somehow going to die or get grievously injured, or someone in my family, and that somehow it won't happen. Or it will happen but within days he's going to change from the great guy he is into some horrible ogre who won't let me do anything. Or he's going to wake up the next morning and decide he's made a huge mistake. Picture every horrible thing that could possibly go wrong and it's gone through my head.
And that's the worst part, there's some part of me that KNOWS this is all in my head, but I am COMPLETELY POWERLESS to not react to it and feel HORRIBLE.
I should be HAPPY. I have much to be grateful for. I'm getting married in two weeks and all I want to do is bury my face in food until I'm totally senseless.
If I use my 12-step programs advice, I just need to stay in TODAY, right now. Right now I'm at work, sneaking online to write this. My food has been planned for the day, I'm going to a meeting tonight, I have my running training tonight and I've planned on hitting the studio for an hour since I have a craft fair coming up. Everything is FINE.
I have to do this every 30 seconds, though. GAAAAAAAH!

Congratulations! I'm truly so happy for you! How exciting!
I don't know if this will help, but I remember being hella anxious in the days and weeks leading up to my wedding, but in the end, I remember realizing that there comes a point where you just have to close your eyes, hold your breath and trust that it will all work out in the end.
I know -- blind faith from someone who has little faith to begin with -- but there it is. You do what you can to understand this person you're marrying, make sure he's the kind of guy you want to spend a lot of time with, the kind of guy you want around your kids, see him at his best and his worst, see him through good times and bad, that's all you can do. There comes a point where you just have to take the plunge and damn the consequences.
So, damn the consequences...and stop worrying!
Have an amazing wedding, and may your every day be better than the last!

Thanks, lovely ladies!!! I'm feeling a little bit better this morning - I'm sure I'll freak out again, but for today, I'm just trying to keep it really real and be in the "NOW" instead of in the "MAYBE" craziness.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! SO awesome! 1) because it's been forever and you deserve that, 2) because "eloping" is SO freakin' romantic, 3) August 2nd is my anniversary, too! hehe Why are you so anxious though, babe? He is the love of your life, you have been together for 10 years, you are HAPPY together.. no need to sabotage yourself or make yourself FEEL bad for it. You worry too much about what CAN happen instead of elating in what IS happening. Anything CAN happen, but.. you have to keep in mind that it wont. Be happy in your NOW, darling. Please! Worrying about the past and the future just makes us a wreck.. and its not worth it! Live for today, for you, for your happiness... and nothing else is going to matter :) Congratulations!! XOXO

A tax increase on dividends seems all but certain: that's why we're seeing a spate of late-year special dividends from companies like Wynn Resorts WYNN 1.4161910801099133% Wynn Resorts Ltd.

No one can say with certainty (though many have tried) how the market will react if individual investors have to pay a higher tax on dividends. One theory is that company executives will argue that repurchasing stock is more attractive, since dividends will return somewhat less money to shareholders. For investors who think that stock buybacks are the next chapter of the story, there happen to be a few exchange-traded funds whose purpose is to track buyback-friendly companies. But think before you invest: There's precious little evidence that share repurchases do much for long-term investors.
Roughly one-third of the $2.7 trillion in S&P 500 buybacks over the period 2004 to 2011 was loss-making, according to a Credit Suisse study this year, and the money that was spent wisely usually didn't reap much. Little wonder, as repurchases peaked in 2007 right around the S&P 500's high. That points to the reason buybacks fail so often: Most companies buy at precisely the wrong moment. Companies usually buy for reasons other than value, like offsetting employee stocks sales or inflating earnings per share. As a result, companies often buy back shares when prices are rich. If dividend taxes drive more of them to buy back stock, the usual motives will still rule, says Credit Suisse quantitative strategist Pankaj Patel. The health-care and consumer discretionary sectors are two places to watch for the buyback-dividend trade-off. Both buybacks and dividends are widespread there.
The cottage industry of ETFs built for buybacks is led by the $189 million PowerShares Buyback Achievers Portfolio PKW 0.5648490115142298% PowerShares Buyback Achievers U.S.: NYSE Arca 46.29 0.26 0.5648490115142298% /Date(1464382800064-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 138200 AFTER HOURS 46.29 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.0605314322747894% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (PKW), which tracks the shares of companies that repurchase 5% or more of their stock over 12 months.

With a net expense ratio of 0.71%, investors have to be true believers in the strategy, since plain-vanilla stock ETFs are notably less expensive. Another fund, the $78 million Guggenheim Insider Sentiment NFO 0.3727653418130654% Guggenheim Insider Sentiment ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 48.01 0.1783 0.3727653418130654% /Date(1464382800068-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10601 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.4938554467819205% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (NFO), looks for favorable trends in insider buying and Wall Street analysts' opinion. This one has lagged the S&P by about three percentage points.
There's only one fund in this niche to beat the S&P 500 this year: The TrimTabs Float Shrink TTFS 0.268467659573707% TrimTabs Float Shrink ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 56.06 0.1501 0.268467659573707% /Date(1464382800034-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9881 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 0.7467534784159828% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (TTFS), up nearly 13%. This one twins the search for stock-supply reducers with screens for quality, such as avoiding backdoor diluters or share-buyers who use too much borrowed money. Few investors have enjoyed the ride, however, as the fund has just $10 million in assets. Perhaps that's because, at 0.99%, this one is also priced for true believers.
The timing of buybacks is important because sudden buybacks usually happen at the wrong time—and the companies that repurchase stock suddenly are often in the most trouble. A better approach may be a lot simpler: Firms that consistently buy their stock at low prices are usually also attractive for other reasons. Investors could do worse than to ignore buybacks altogether and keep searching for low price-to-earnings ratios, reasonably priced growth companies, and the low-cost funds that track them.

Hello all! You may have read my previous tutorials about world map hacking. Well, I learned a few more things, and I do believe that this is the most reliable way of making world maps and injecting them into your game.
Please note, this is for FireRed and LeafGreen. I do not supply information on Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald.
The guide download is attached below.
Here are some notes!
Depending on what ROM version you have, you might not be able to find the World Map pointers to re-point, If this is the case, you need to use a different set of pointers. I went through the trouble of finding them out myself.
Click the spoiler for the pointers/offsets. Note before trying to use those pointers, try to use the ones listed in the tutorial for POKEMON FIRE BPRE v1.
3F090C - Kanto Offset
3F0B6C - Sevii 1 Offset
3F0C7C - Sevii 2 Offset
3F0D60 - Sevii 3 Offset
0C093F08 - Kanto Pointer
6C0B3F08 - Sevii 1 Pointer
7C0C3F08 - Sevii 2 Pointer
600D3F08 - Sevii 3 Pointer
Oh, and if you want to, I would love to see the maps you are making with this tutorial, so if you want, post it in a comment or attachment. Be sure to warn people of stealing...

India will likely raise the foreign investment limit in government debt soon, as almost all the allocation has already been taken up as overseas buyers pile into the country's financial markets, said four officials with direct knowledge of the government's thinking. The current cap is R995.46 billion ($16.86 billion).
As of Friday, foreign investors owned R886 billion worth of government debt, or 89% of the full available allocation, following a surge in inflows due to improving government finances and optimism about Narendra Modi's recent election as Prime Minister.
Once the limit reaches 90%, foreign investors are only allowed to buy debt under a more cumbersome auction bidding system.
"We will certainly look to raise the limit once it is closer to exhaustion," said one of the officials involved in the process, adding the government could allow foreign investors to invest another $5 billion in the local debt.
The finance ministry will decide on the matter after consultations with the Reserve Bank of India and capital markets regulator Securities And Exchange Board of India, the sources said, without providing a specific timeline.
The sources declined to be identified as they were not authorised to talk to the media about the plans.
Finance secretary Arvind Mayaram told domestic news agency Cogencis that the government had no plan to raise investment limits for now. "Why would we hike the limit just because they have reached the limit...The limits are set because of due considerations. At the moment there is no thought in changing the limits," Mayaram was quoted as saying to Cogencis.
Mayaram did not reply to requests for comments from Reuters.
India's 10-year benchmark bond yield fell 3 basis points to 8.49% after the Reuters news, but the yield then rose to 8.57% on the Mayaram comments to Cogencis. It closed at 8.51% on Friday.
Foreign investors bought a net $425.43 million worth of debt on Friday, their biggest daily purchase since May 23 and bringing their total this year to $8.6 billion.
Under current rules, India allows all types of foreign investors to buy up to $20 billion of government debt, although the dollar amount depends on the exchange rate.
The total foreign investment limit is $30 billion, with the remaining $10 billion for investors such as foreign central banks, sovereign wealth funds, insurance funds and pension funds.
Investors have been expecting the government would raise the allocation for foreign investors once the 90% mark was reached.
Last year, New Delhi had said it
