Microsoft gave the approval for a final version of Windows 8.1 update 1 to be sent to PC and tablet makers. According to The Verge Tuesday (March 4), sources claim that the "spring" Windows 8.1 update 1 is in the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) stage.
Slated for an April 8 release to the public, Windows 8.1 update 1 was confirmed by Microsoft at this year's Mobile World Congress event (MWC), following rumors and leaks. As CNET reports, users can expect to see a new interface for mouse users. Some users prefer traditional PC control over the touch screen focus of Windows 8, and Microsoft is addressing this in the spring update.
Once Windows 8.1 update 1 rolls out, users will be able to use the mouse's right-click to open, close and minimize Metro apps. It will also be possible to shut down Windows using the mouse's new context menu, without having to rely on the Start screen. Microsoft assured MWC press conference attendees that touch options will remain after the new update."We love touch. None of the work has a negative effect on touch,"Microsoft vice president of operating systems, Joe Belfiore said.
Windows 8.1 update 1 will bring search, power and settings icons to the Start screen along with changes boot up options for anti-touch users. Windows 8.1 update 1 will allow non-touch PC users to automatically boot to the desktop UI, the Verge explains. ZDNET reports that Internet Explorer 8 compatibility mode is built into Internet Explorer 11.
Windows 8.1 users who prefer the old fashioned functions of pre-touch PCs will surely appreciate update 1."We could see where things were going great, and we could see where could improve things," Belfiore said about the spring update.

I've had an acer aspire laptop for a little over a year now. For the most part it works great, however once every couple of weeks or so it starts acting up and I need to do a hard re-boot.
It's running Ubuntu 11.10 amd64, but the same situation occurred prior to the update when I was running Ubuntu 10.01 x86.
I'll be running multiple apps for work, web browser, thunderbird, sql monitor, terminal, etc. And a program will crash, basically just stop running and disappear. Then when I try to interact with any other programs they are unresponsive or they also crash.
When I try to logout or restart from the unity panel it does nothing. When I go into a virtual console to attempt a reboot as the root user I get a laundry list of errors stating 'bad sector' information. And the prompt to login is presented again.
This ultimately leads to me power cycling the box.
I'm wondering if anyone has had this happen to them? I've reviewed the hard disk thinking that had something to do with it and the smart tools monitoring doesn't indicate that's the issue. Then I started thinking maybe my ram is bad. Is there any method of testing the machines RAM to verify it isn't corrupt.

Is Inheritance Money Considered Income on the Government Taxes?
government Taxes On Monetary Inheritance
For a person who is receiving monetary inheritance it depends with whether the person is a direct relative or a distant relative in relation to pay government taxes. This is because direct relatives can claim exclusions and pay little tax while distant relatives will not be exempted. In some states, this kind of inheritance is not taxable because it is not an income.
government Taxes On inherited Property Sale
This kind of inheritance requires that a person pay government taxes for the money obtained after selling an inherited property. When a person sells a property for more than its market value; then an heir to the deceased must pay tax called capital gain.
government Taxes On Inherited IRA
People who receive IRA as inheritance will pay tax because this is the money that was contributed for retirement benefits. In case a surviving spouse receives this, it is possible to make it their own and continue contributing to it while paying the required tax. For heirs who cannot make this inheritance their own, they must pay tax to receive this contribution money.
government Taxes On Inherited Life Insurance
A person who receives life insurance in whole will have exemptions and pay very little government taxes. If the beneficiary receives the insurance money in installments, then paying tax for income and interest received is a requirement.
government Taxes On Charitable Inheritance
One way a inheritor will not pay the government taxes is when the money or property was given for charity donations. For an heir; trust fund that is left is charitable because this was meant for a charity case and it is not part of the estate.

A maintenance adjustment transaction (MR11) was executed to 'write-off' the open receipts on a purchase order. All purchase order items have the same accounting (Profit Center, GL Acct, Comp Code). The MR11 transaction creates a KP (account maintenance document) which is posted against the PO line and is cleared against the receipt accounting document(s).
A clearing document should be created to offset the receipt/invoice document with the maintenance document.
For some reason, part of the items that were 'maintenanced' on the PO did not get cleared, while other items did get cleared. Our internal SAP GL super users have reviewed the documents and cannot understand why some of these did not clear.
Please check whether there are "quantity differences" in those POs. If not, then MR11 will not do. Also please check whether the account assignment of those POs are "order". If so, settlement is the way forward to close the PO.
yes -these have quantity differences -- We're not sure what you mean by 'order' on the PO's account assignment
Edited by: Gerald Kutz on Apr 15, 2009 7:46 PM
You mean you do GR, but no IV will come, so you use MR11 to clear, MR11 will create a KP doc, but it will not automaticlly clear the GR/IR account, you have to run F.13 to clear it.
yes - we are 'writing off' an open receipt that we will not be billed for. We used MR11 to do this and F.13 was ran, but it did not create a clearing document for some items, because a clearing doc had previously been created.
That must be a wrong clearing doc, done by user manually maybe, reverse the clearing doc, and then run F.13 again to let system clear it automaticlly base on set criteria, checking OB74, normally, amount, purchase order, purchase order item will be set there.
Had the users reset the clearing document and ran automatic clearing again. This time it cleared everything successfully. There were no config setting changes in the meantime.

You want your wedding day to be full of the people you love, but there is a chance that not everyone you want to see on your special day will be able to make it, or they simply won't all fit into your plan for small nuptials. With distance between old friends, family members who live on the other side of the country and prior commitments, some loved ones just won't be able to make it to your wedding day. You can still let those faraway people know that you have tied the knot by sending wedding announcements.
Just like you will let your friends and family know that you got hitched, you should also find a way to let professional colleagues know that you will be changing your name. Same as you would create a guest list, create a list of people you would like to invite to your wedding but are unable to. These are the people who should receive wedding announcements. Design the cards to fit the atmosphere of your big day so that those who are unable to attend will still be able to get a feel for what the day was like. You can even use the same design as your invitations, just delete the date, time and place lines. Announcements are also beneficial for parents of the newlyweds, helping them announce to their friends that their children have gotten married.
Be sure, of course, that you don't send your announcements too early. You don't want the announcements to arrive before you actually walk down the aisle. You can send them the day of the wedding, but you may want to have someone from the wedding party head to the post office so you don't have to worry about the logistics. While announcements do not suggest that gifts are expected, be sure to send a thank you card right away if someone sends a gift.

Kim Kardashian Won't Marry Kanye West Until She's Worth $50 Million?
Kim Kardashian has a strict "wedding ultimatum" for Kanye West, reveals OK!
We weren't aware they were engaged, but alright.
The mag says the reality star is "already worth a cool $38 million," but has told her boyfriend "she will not be tying the knot with him until she's valued at $50 million or more."
Um… why?
A so-called "source" for the tab reasons, "Kanye's worth nearly $100 million, so it will be a point of pride for her to go into the marriage with her own chunk of cash."
RELATED – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Fighting Over Money?
Is $38 million not enough of a "chunk of cash"?
Or does Kardashian just want a nice round (completely arbitrary) number, like, 50?
Anyhow, the alleged insider goes on to claim, "Kanye knows she's not after his money, but she's making a thing out of this — it's as though she's in financial competition with him, and that's not a good foundation for a marriage."
West is supposedly so worried about Kardashian's "competitive nature" that he "even suggested both attend couples counseling to deal with it," notes the source.
The mag's insider adds, "But Kim shot down the idea because she says this is a financial issue — not an emotional one."
Actually, it's a non-issue.
A source close to Kardashian tells Gossip Cop the tab's story is "stupid."
If anything is going to hold Kardashian back from marrying West, it's that she's still legally married to Kris Humphries.

Descendants of the deposed royal family in Libya have ended up as asylum seekers in an apartment in the small village of Totebo, southern Sweden. Prince Al Senussi Zouber Al Senussi managed to flee with his family shortly before the revolt in February and came to Sweden via Turkey. "This is the place where we can feel safe," said his wife Sohere to the local newspaper Västervik-Tidningen. The royal family Senussi was overthrown by Gaddafi in 1969. (TT)

Rounding up the final thupr – deeper stuff!
Claire Thompson, Thames-valley based freelance PR Consultant, Waves PR
With the dust settled on the final thupr event, I thought it appropriate to create a final blogpost, rounding up the good stuff that happened. In due course, I'll share some of the learnings from thupr, but in the meantime, here's some of the material that the last event generated:
Claire Thompson: The final thupr (A preview to the event)
Emily Breder: On engagement (Participant)
Halima Amin: The Final Countdown (An event roundup)
Claire Thompson: Music, Money and PR Prats (And event round up)
Gareth Cousins: How to brief musicians A guide for PR folk
The future
Today I plan to throw open thupr to the community of people who have shown an interest in at some point. Our plans for ramping it up really weren't sustainable, and whilst charging was an option, I personally don't think that's the right thing to do in this day and age. The old maxim 'you get what you pay for' has never been less true!
Thupr was always a horrible name, but one we got stuck with. So I'm changing the name of the group to Deeper – a mix of digital + engagement + PR – and throw it open for anyone who has conversations they want to start to go ahead and do so. I'll offer what support I can, but the settings on the meetup have changed. We have a group of over 400 people with diverse interests and skills to share. If anyone has thoughts on rules, they should share them.
Over the next week or so, they will all be made co-organisers. I'm leaving myself as an organiser only to be able to remove spammers. It really is 'over to you'…..

Hi Claire
Just a quick note to say thanks for organising. I didn't make it to nearly as many as I'd have liked, but enjoyed greatly the SMW event. So thanks!!
And the name? I liked it – it always made me smile as I thought of "The Wabbit who came to Thupper" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDiR0Qjs52w)

If a unit charges my night goblin spearmen and I unleash my night goblin fanatic and roll low enough the after their charge is through they are sitting on top of where my fanatic was, does this fall into the 'Out of Control' rule where they take 2d6 S5 hits?
This happened last weekend and the guy seemed really bent out of shape about it so I just let the night goblin move through his unit and only take 1d6 S5 hits. I just want this cleared up for next time.

Sight words are important to teach to young children because in order to read fluently, that is, for one's reading to be efficient and effective enough for one to gain meaning from it, it must be phrased and fluent. Phrasing comes from grouping the words in a sentence together the way one would in speech, with pauses, inflections and expression. Fluency refers to the pace of the reading.
If a child is stopping to solve, or 'sound out' unknown words, reading too slowly or very quickly or without expression, it is likely he will not understand or remember what he has read.
As reading expert Anne Glass notes in the attached video, many sight words are not words that can be easily solved on the run. They are often words with exceptional spellings that do not follow the rules of phonics. Some teachers call them 'rule-breakers' to help their students understand that the letters in these words are not making the sounds that they are supposed to make.
Tips for teaching children new sight words:
- Model writing the word in front of the children
- Run your finger under the word slowly from left to right to encourage careful looking at all parts of the word
- Ask the children to be detectives while you repeat step 2, and to look for any 'Rulebreakers' (letters or combinations of letters that do not make sense phonetically)
- If you find a Rulebreaker, explain that Rulebreakers are the reason for learning some words really well at a glance!
- Have the children raise their writing hand and pointer finger up in the air and 'skywrite' the word along with you.
- Give the children opportunities to play with the word.
One way of remembering a word in all its detail is to be able to write it.
Ways to play with and practice sight words:
- Always provide a correct model of the proper spelling of a new word.
- Provide magnetic letters for children to mix up, then reassemble into the word. This can be done on a chalkboard, white board, fridge, cookie sheet or any other magnetic surface. Tin lunch boxes are excellent for containing word cards and magnetic letters on the go.
- Tracing activities are always fun, especially with different materials. Try glitter glue or gel pens, chalk on the driveway or school yard, or water and a clean paint brush on a variety of surfaces.
- Cut the letters out of sandpaper and glue them onto a piece of card stock for a tactile, finger tracing activity.
- Ask the child to trace the word in large letters with finger paint, or in play dough or plasticene.
- Stamp the letters of the word with letter stampers, or potatoes cut into the shape of those letters.
- Give the child a magnifying glass and a 'spy hat' or badge, and ask her to be a 'Word Detective' in one of her little books. Can she find today's word? Can she find it in the room somewhere? Start a game of 'I Spy'.
Once the children have a bank of multiple sight words, the opportunities for fun sight word memory games only increase. Write sight words on the circles in a Twister game and play Sight Word Twister. Sight Word Bingo games are available online and in many teacher stores as well (and are easy to make). A basic game of memory can be made with index cards and writing each word twice. For extra challenge, consider putting a capital letter on one version of the word. It is surprising how many children who can read 'here' and 'the' can not read 'Here' and 'The'.
Teaching sight words to young children - saving the best tip for last
Keep it light, fun and motivating! Sight words can be taught in short lessons, teachable moments, practiced by making connections between them in reading and writing, and especially through games and fun activities!

Revan VS. Nihilus... who would win
View Single Post
May The Force Serve You.
Join Date
: Nov 2006

I think I just came up with another way Revan could "cheat" his way to defeat Nihlius. Prehaps, it might be considered a pretty legit method.
Revan, being a smart being, would know that Nihlius has his Force Drain ability, and knows that Nihlius would beat him in a fair fight. So, Revan withdraws to what is really his strength: being a stragisit. Sure, we don't know how good a general he is, but he won the Battle of Malachor V, so whatever his methods, it works.
Revan has a great mentor named Kreia who taught him all he knew, and then some. Revan would have realized that Nihlius is consumed by his hunger, that he will do whatever it takes to sastify his hunger, and the more powerful he is, the stronger his hunger becomes, until all life in the galaxy is destroyed.
So, I assume Revan would just run. He would do whatever it takes to misdirect Nihlius, send him to destroy worlds that have no Force Senstivies at all, that have no Jedi at all. Nihlius would waste time, and energy defeating these worlds, searching for Revan. Revan would send in strike teams, knowing that they would die, but it will act as a distraction to Nihilus, and distractions are key. The more time Revan can bide, the more time his hunger can work against Nihlius. If Revan gets lucky, Nihlius will finally starve to death. And Revan wins.
Kreia said about Nihlius that he is already dead, that the only thing that matters is how many worlds he eats before he falls. Kreia believed that if he isn't stopped now, he may become impossible to stop in the future, and all that one can do is avoid Nhilus and run, waiting for Nihlius to die of hunger, like Revan possibly would have done.
[Kreia actually hoped the Exile wouldn't have to fight him, worried that the Exile will lose, and hopes that the Exile would be prepared to kill off Visas to weaken him... (How ironic that Kreia feels this fear...since the Exile is a wound in the Force, meaning that he's the only one that
kill off Nihlius. Of course, knowing Kreia, I'll assume that "mistake" is just another Kreia Lie).]

After a high of 93 yesterday (our 10th day of 90+ heat this year), we're getting a bit of a break today and tomorrow with highs in the mid to upper 80s. The other big change: our humidity is much lower making for a comfortable feel for any outdoor plans, whether you're heading to the Indianapolis Air Show, the Indians Games, Fishers Freedom Festival, Marion County Fair, Dave Matthews Concerts or any of the many outdoor events taking place this weekend. Sunday turns hot again with a chance of isolated storms. Right now, Sunday's rain potential looks highest north and west of Indy (30% or better) and lowest south and east of Indy (10% or less). Rain amounts may average only around 1/10″ or less. Timing on Sunday's rain chance looks most likely late day/night.
Were you lucky enough to get rain yesterday? Indianapolis officially (at the airport) recorded NO rain, so our dry streak goes to 18 days at the end of today. Some areas from Crawfordsville to Lafayette to Kokomo did get some much-needed rainfall according to Doppler Radar estimates.
Since Indy did not officially get any rain yesterday, our 0.05″ for the month so far continues as the least rain for the first 21 days of June since 1988! More here from the National Weather Service: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=84481&source=0 We could be on our way to the driest June on record! The current record is .36″ in 1988.
Last week, 88% of the state was in a drought. That number has now increased to 100% with an "Extreme Drought" (the worst in the state) for Southwestern Indiana. The Indy Metro has been put in a Moderate Drought (last week we were in the initial drought stages). If we don't get significant rain soon, the drought will continue to worsen.
What's ahead in your WTHR-TV 7-day? Much cooler air arrives to start next week, then a warming trend late week. There could be some isolated rain arriving Thursday and Friday of next week.
Finally, your WTHR-TV Hoosier Pic at noon. This gorgeous photo is even prettier thanks to the raindrops on the flower! Lebanon got rain yesterday to help perk up the plants. Thanks to Angie Ranney for the pic! Submit your pic on WTHR's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WTHR13

Dianne Reeves: Body and Soul
Body and Soul
Dianne Reeves (vocals)
New Morning (Blue Note CDP 7243 8 21533 2 0)
Dianne Reeves (vocals),
David Torkanowsky (piano, synthesizer), Chris Severin (electric bass), Herlin Riley (drums).
Composed by Johnny Green, Edward Heyman, Robert Sour & Frank Eyton.
Recorded: Paris, May 14, 1997
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
On this very special evening at the New Morning club in Paris, Dianne Reeves was in fantastic shape, and the rendering she gave of this standard of standards is historic. The African-like wordless vocals over the piano vamp in the re-harmonized intro set the scene: it's definitely going to be about body and about soul! So, for almost nine minutes, the singer and her band explore rhythms (Latin, funk…), textures (from the thickest to the thinnest) and registers (highs and lows that make your skin creep) in a fascinating ad lib rubato way. Pure magic!

Can someone break down what's going on? It looks funny but not too knowledgeable about priest skills and I can't see what's being cast in the video even in HQ.

When the Auctioneers get knocked back it will cancel whatever everyone was doing. Have had this happen when a Horde player killed an alliance auctioneer.

What spell is the priest casting on the Tauren for him to be able to knock back the auctioneers?

Great Tip, Marco! I'm having problems kiting him to my AH, though. I've made it to the Zepplins, to STV and almost to Stormwind, but Hogger intercepts us each time.

For the anon's who don't understand: The priest is casting Mind Control on the tauren in the inn who is flagged as attackable. Then he's taking the tauren over to the auctioneers and using his knockback ability on them.

A word of thought: Really doing this can and propably will be reported as terrain harrassment since you're effectively blocking their access to a NPC / Service / doodad. You'd propably get 3h ban for it if you went on long enough to have someone get annoyed at it ^^

I have more cords in my neck than a 12-string guitar. What can be done?
Those cords (aka sinews) connect your neck muscles to your jaw and shoulders. As we age, the muscles in our necks contract, making the sinews pop out more. You can conceal the cords with turtlenecks and scarves, but that's not your only option. "Botox relaxes neck muscles, making the sinews less obvious," says Fredric Brandt, MD, a dermatologist in New York and Miami. The usual strategy: A single needle is inserted into the platysma muscle—the one under your chin that stands out when you frown—producing a relaxation effect that's noticeable in three to five days (average cost is $400; results last up to six months). A second option is Ultherapy, an in-office treatment that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and tighten and lift the skin ($2,500 to $5,000; results last up to two years). While either procedure will make a difference, Brandt says doing them in combination will give you the most notable result. For less dramatic (and less costly) at-home improvement, he suggests a neck cream that has glycolic acid, peptides and/or retinols to smooth the surface of the skin. They won't alter the physiol-ogy of your neck, but they can make the skin there look smoother and tauter. Try Dr. Brandt Time Arrest V-Zone Neck Cream ($60; sephora.com) or L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Face, Neck & Chest Golden Balm ($20; drugstores).
My hair was really silky—until now. Suddenly it's a dull, wiry mess! Is the gray taking over? Or is the culprit all the dye I'm using to cover the gray?
The cuticle of gray hair is four times as thick as the cuticle of pigmented hair, and that's what makes the grays coarse, says Jason Backe, master colorist at the Ted Gibson NYC salon and a celebrity colorist for L'Oréal Professionnel. "Plus, because the surface of gray hair is not as smooth as that of pigmented strands, it doesn't reflect light, which can make it look dull," he notes. Factor in harsh chemicals from permanent dye, and your hair could be on the road to destruction. The solution? If just a few of your strands are gray, switch to a demi-permanent color like L'Oréal Professionnel's Dialight (ask your coloristabout it). For abundant grays, take a different tack by adding a clear gloss treatment to your color routine. You can get one at the salon ($50 and up) or try Rita Hazan Foaming Color Gloss in Ultimate Shine ($26; sephora.com) at home. Backe also suggests complementing the gloss's strand-smoothing effects with stylers designed for coarse hair. Try Kérastase Paris Sérum Oléo-Relax ($40; kerastase-usa.com).
When I smooth concealer under my eyes, the skin acts like Silly Putty, stretching off to one side or the other. Then it stays there.
Age, genetics and even too much sun can add up to a loss of collagen and elasticity in the delicate under-eye area, says Brandt. Until some genius comes up with Spanx for eye bags, he suggests using an eye cream that has peptides and retinoids to stimulate collagen production in the -under-eye tissue. Try Dr. Brandt Flaws No More R3P Eye ($80; drbrandtskincare.com). He also says you may see positive results from the at-home fractional laser PaloVia ($499; palovia .com), approved last year by the FDA to treat lines around the eyes. "Like lasers used in doctors' offices, this device uses tiny beams of light to stimulate new collagen production," Brandt explains. Finally, how you apply concealer can make a difference. "Choose a cover-up the same shade as your foundation," says Kimara Ahnert, a New York make-up artist. "And to get maximum coverage with minimum tugging, apply the concealer with a brush, then tap it in rather than rub. This will help both the concealer and your skin to stay put." Good options: Pen concealers with a liquidy texture, like Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen ($37; sephora.com) or Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer ($8; drugstores).

We're not the most graceful of ladies; most of our experiences on skateboards end up with us flat on our asses and covered in bruises. We like this Alien Workshop Andy Warhol Skateboard ($55) because after we give up on being able to ollie for the tenth time in our lives, we can hang this deck up on our wall and call it art.

I would drain the fat from the sausage before adding the onions.
Stewed Okra & Tomatoes
From EatingWell: October/November 2006
Stewing okra with onion and tomatoes is absolutely traditional all through the South. Small amounts of meat are often added for seasoning. Add corn to this, too, if you like, and serve it over rice, hot cornbread or grits.

You know I have to say it....
Crazy Sisters was Crazy Good!
I knew that Crazy Sisters had fish tacos, one of my favorites, so that was my plan. Until I saw the menu, which literally made my mouth drool and wish there was a way to try everything, right then and there.
I also tried the veggie taco, "gringo" style. Gringo comes on a flour tortilla with lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese.
The fresh veggies were grilled just enough to have great taste of portobello mushroom, peppers and onions. So good and a great option instead of meat or fish.
The tacos were crazy good. But luckily, I had my food loving child with me, so I had an excuse to try another item too.
The special of the night was Sliders.
What a variety of burgers Crazy Sisters offers! I can hear the Hawaiian is calling my name... I can only imagine how wonderful grilled pineapple and Havarti cheese are on the perfectly cooked patty. Or maybe you would like a Mexican burger with guacamole, pepper jack cheese and salsa? For you traditionalist, American burgers are also available. Based on the sliders, I don't think any of us can go wrong.
Follow Crazy Sisters on Facebook to get their locations for lunch and/or dinner. They can primarily be found in the mid-cities. I promise, this a crazy good place to eat!

My question is as to which is the best method to find extremal eigenvalues of a real symmetric matrix? Currently I am using Lanczos Iterations followed by Bisection Method. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
you might benefit from using ARPACK, or if you have really large matrices, by using SLEPc
When you say extremal, do you also mean the smallest eigenvalue? In the latter case you might benefit from looking at: this question on MO
If you are looking for specific software implementations I suggest looking here. Download the source and look what authors of the software are using. Since these are widely used libraries, they are the fastest for the widest range of the problems. Any faster algorithm would definitely be data specific, meaning that for some range of problems it will be faster, but it will be slower for others. Note that this is a generic response, but the so is the question.

Dream Big, Act Big! 100 marathons and 100 seminars, in 100 days. It's a monumental journey to realize a dream and inspire millions of other dreams. What can you do in 100 days?
We all have the seeds of greatness within us. We are perfectly created to shape our own future into anything that we desire. Sometimes we simply need someone to show us how to grow that seed.
Starting on February 26, 2011 Croix Sather will run 2,621 miles from San Diego to New York City through grueling desert heat, over majestic mountains, in heartland fertile farmlands, past national parks, in the canyons of the greatest cities, and on spectacular stages with a simple and profound message – Dream Big, Act Big.
Dream Big, Act Big is a run and inspirational seminar tour through urban and rural America hungry for the strategies to rise above their environment. Croix will run more than 30 miles a day plus give spectacular talks about following your dream in the face of challenges and rise above your circumstances, environment, and experiences to create an amazing life beyond measure.
"The key to life is the experience"
Croix Sather reprograms the subconscious mind for success. As a motivational speaker, Success Hypnotherapist, author, and radio show host, he is transforming lives from ordinary to inspirational.
Croix's experience rich lifestyle includes four Ironman triathlons, skydiving, shark diving, fire-walking and fire-eating. On February 26, 2011 he will begin his run from San Diego to New York City – 100 Marathons - 100 Seminars - 100 Days for an inspirational tour called "Dream Big, Act Big!"
Croix's adventures, thrilling stories and demonstrations will keep you on the edge of your seat in his dynamic talks as you learn the psychology of success. "Win your inner game and you win at life."
Croix's life began in a nondescript NYC suburb. He was a competitive swimmer until he was 14 years old when his life would change forever. Riding home on his bicycle, a drunk driver swerved to miss his friends. She never saw Croix and the speeding car hit him head-on, crushing the bike and launching him 50 feet before crashing into the ground. With his body mangled, he was rushed to the trauma center.
The Neurosurgeon said to his parents, "If he survives the night, he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life." The doctor's valiant efforts pulled Croix through. He spent almost four days in a comma, two weeks in the hospital, and more than a year in casts and going through physical rehabilitation. Debilitating headaches from his fractured skull lasted for years. And memory challenges persisted for two decades.
After the brutal car crash life was different. In a good school system, he was written off as a troublemaker and allowed to fall behind. He never went back to competitive swimming and his grades went in a downward spiral. Now bored, Croix drifted in an out of trouble. It was the love of his parents and the caring of a few teachers that reached out their hand to help, allowed Croix to complete school.
In his 20's he was bored working for other people so he started a business in the residential construction trade in which he was raised. After a few successful years he became restless. He closed his business, sold his house split the money with his ex-wife and he traveled for a while. Because he "should be earning a decent living at a steady job" he went back to work. Still bored and searching for something better, he went back to school and earned a BA in Humanistic Communications in his 30's.
As a matter of fate, while in school he was introduced to the world of personal development. He met hundreds of people at his first seminar that were also bored and restless. Like Croix, they were hungry and looking for more out of life, wanting a life imagined in their dreams. For the first time he met people who "got it" - who were kindred souls. People who were positive and full of possibility, and understood that the only limitations in life are the ones that are self-imposed. As a teen, he read personal development books and others ridiculed him. In this environment, Croix felt at home.
While attending the university, Croix began writing his first book. At the same time dabbling in several different careers, none of which fit him. His book, BetterBody BetterLife would then be published and Croix would continue his education in the areas of success psychology, hypnosis, NLP, and subconscious programming.
Ever since Croix has been on an intense journey of learning, growing and becoming, with a commitment to finding new strategies to change lives. Today he is an agent of massive change. As an author, radio show host, success hypnotherapist, and coach he is showing people how to create an extraordinary life. "Give me an afternoon and I will radically change your life." Croix is known for his impactful change with subconscious reprogramming strategies and techniques.
Croix's life today is as extraordinary as his story. He is four-time Ironman triathlete. His exuberant energy is now focused into positive and adrenaline rushing activities such as sky diving, scuba diving with sharks, fire eating, fire walking, as well as barefoot running, and a father of two. What's next on his 'bucket list' after the run across the country? To bring Dream Big, Act Big around the world.

Date: February 24 2013
AT LEAST six underground tanks containing radioactive waste are leaking at a site that was used to make Cold War-era bombs in the US state of Washington.
Authorities in the state are urging more federal help to clean up the site, which first produced fuel for nuclear bombs in World War II and closed 25 years ago
Washington's governor, Jay Inslee, said the extent of the leaks at the Hanford Site, more than eight kilometres from the Columbia River, was disturbing.
''There is no immediate or near-term health risk associated with these newly discovered leaks …'' he said, after meeting the US energy secretary, Steven Chu.
''But nonetheless this is disturbing news for all Washingtonians.''
Details of exactly what kind of waste was involved were not immediately available. The Hanford nuclear site, 300 kilometres south-east of Seattle, was used to produce plutonium for the bomb that brought an end to World War II.
Millions of litres of leftover waste is contained in 177 tanks at the site.
