I don't make a lot of all-one-fabric-line quilts these days, but I'll always make an exception for Denyse Schmidt's collections. For some reason I just can't break up her lines. The prints are so yummy together—introducing fabric from other designers or other collections never seems to improve them.
Pink Chalk. One of the things I really love about Pink Chalk is that they're always available to give you color and fabric matching advice by phone or email. And their "What Goes With What?" series might be one of the most useful features I've seen on a store blog. They list coordinating solids for popular new fabric lines, complete with real-life pictures of the bolts of fabric stacked up with their matching solids. Somehow it just makes it feel like you're in a brick-and-mortar fabric store.
So what are you working on this week? Here are the linky rules:
1. Link up any post from the past week that features an unfinished work-in-progress (WIP).
2. Somewhere in your post, you must link back here to my blog.
3. Comment on at least a few of the other WIP Wednesday links—commenting on the two or three links directly before yours works well to make sure everyone gets comments!

HUNTINGTON, Utah (AP) — Some noise was detected by two devices monitoring vibrations near where six miners were trapped by a cave-in nearly 10 days ago, raising "a very small amount" of hope that the men might be found alive, officials said.
The sound picked up by two geophones could be a rock breaking underground, or even an animal, said Richard Stickler, chief of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
"We saw some indication of noise for a period of about five minutes that we had not seen before," Stickler said.
While the source of the noise wasn't known, Stickler said it had "created a very small amount of hope and optimism" among the families.
Rescuers were in the process of dropping a video camera and microphone down narrow holes being drilled into the mine, he said. Plans for a fourth borehole had changed because of the "unusual" readings.
Said Bob Murray, chief of Murray Energy Corp., the co-owner and operator of the Crandall Canyon Mine: "Don't read too much into this noise we picked up, but it is a sign of hope."
Still, experts say the chances of finding the men alive are slim.
As crews slowly dig a path to the men's presumed location at the Crandall Canyon Mine, the narrow drill holes sunk deep into the mountain amount to little more than educated guesses.
"There are a lot of possibilities," Stickler said. "We started with logical thinking: 'If I were in this situation, what would I do?' That has guided us in where we look."
The men could be huddled together or spread out anywhere in an underground area the size of several football fields.
"There's always a chance. You have to hang on to that chance. But realistically it is small, quite small," said J. Davitt McAteer, former head of the Mine Safety and Health Administration and now vice president of Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia. "You would have to have every single break and divine intervention to successfully extract these guys."
The Aug. 6 cave-in released low-oxygen air from sealed chambers into the working area of the mine. Downward pressure on the walls sent chunks of coal flying like bullets through the shaft.
Two holes drilled into the mine have not located the men. A third drill broke through Wednesday into an area where officials say the men may have sought refuge, but a microphone snagged in the hole about 20 feet above the roof of the mine, and it couldn't pick up any sound that might have come from below. Officials planned to lower a video camera with its own microphone in the next attempt.
"We're going to keep drilling until we find these miners," Murray said Wednesday.
Murray has acknowledged the drilling may not show whether the miners are alive or dead. At nearly every turn, he cautions reporters that the initial blast inside the mountain may have killed the men instantly.
Mining rescues after 10 or more days are not unheard of. In May 2006, two miners were rescued after being trapped for 14 days following a collapse at an Australian mine. In 1968, six miners were rescued after 10 days in West Virginia.
"I am still very optimistic that we will find these miners alive. There is real reason to believe that," Murray said Wednesday. "I still remain very, very hopeful."
The effort to dig out a rubble-filled tunnel was proceeding slowly Wednesday and could last another week to go more than 1,200 feet before reaching the area where the miners were believed to be working.
A "seismic bump" from the mountain settling damaged a coal excavator Tuesday night, stopping the advance for more than two hours, but work resumed after repairs were made to the 65-ton machine, Stickler said.
The miners "know damn well we're doing what we can to get to them, and we're going to get there — no doubt about it," Bodee Allred, the mine's safety manager, said Wednesday in his coal-blackened overalls.
Allred, who has a cousin trapped inside the mine, said the force of the collapse was "definitely something I've never seen before."
The thunderous collapse blew out the walls of mine shafts, filling them with rubble. If the men were not crushed by rock, their bodies could have been crushed by the immense air pressure generated by the collapse, mining executives and federal regulators have said.
And if they survived that, they could have died from lack of oxygen, even though fresh air is now being pumped down one of the drill holes.
Mine officials believe the collapse released a "rush of oxygen-depleted air" into the area where the men were believed to be working, but officials are working on the theory that the bad air drove a pocket of breathable air into the back of the mine and that miners may have sought refuge there.
A blast of air came out of the mine's entrance, said Lane Adair, general manager of the Crandall Canyon Mine. For miners in the back of the mine, the blast would have felt like being inside an air compressor, he said.
Murray has said there are many reasons to have hope, citing video images showing about 5 feet of headroom deep inside the mine, with 2 or 3 feet of loose coal covering the floor.
The camera's light can reach only about 30 feet, but everywhere it points shows that the reinforced roofs of the tunnels appear intact, Murray said.
The voids could hold breathable air, although an initial sample showed barely 7 percent oxygen — not enough to support life.
The miners could find drinkable water seeping everywhere through the mine, although they would have little or no food, having probably consumed what food they brought with them for their 12-hour shift, officials have said.
The first hole was drilled 3.4 miles into the mine and more than 1,800 feet underground, where officials thought the miners may have tried to escape, only to find tunnels blocked. They dropped a microphone into that 2½-inch-wide hole, but picked up no sound.
A second hole about 8 inches wide was drilled to accommodate a camera. It was sent down near where the miners were known to be working at the time of the collapse but showed no miners — only a tool bag, a twisted conveyor belt, dripping water and pipes.
Union officials said Wednesday that their repeated offers to help at the nonunion mine were rejected immediately after the collapse. Mike Dalpiaz, international vice president of the union's District 22 in Price, said a union representative who offered "anything and everything at our disposal" was asked to leave the mine property.
Dalpiaz said he believes the aid was turned down because it meant letting union workers into a nonunion mine, though Murray said Tuesday the rescue effort couldn't accommodate any more people.
"We have all the manpower and equipment we can use in a confined space," Murray said. He added that his company was flying in a team of 14 managers as part of a second wave of relief.
The mine may have been made more dangerous by what Murray acknowledged was decades of digging using retreat mining, a common though sometimes dangerous method in which miners yank out a mine's pillars to grab the last of the coal.
Murray said the retreat mining took place before he took over the mine a year ago. He said no retreat mining was taking place at the time of the collapse, which he insists was triggered by an earthquake. Government seismologists say the mine's collapse registered as an earthquake.
"There's no connection between retreat mining and the natural disaster that occurred here," Murray said Tuesday. "I've said that from the beginning, and that's the way it will eventually come out."
Mine-safety experts say that two sections of the Crandall Canyon Mine that collapsed in March may have been an early warning sign. They questioned whether the company — and the government agency that oversees its work — should have closed the mine then.
Instead, operators moved to another section and continued mining.

Sean Canfield
6'3 3/4, 223 pounds | Quarterback | Oregon State
Accuracy: Threw a lot of pro-style routes and completed a good percentage of passes. Times his throws especially well and routinely hit his receivers in stride. Completed 67.9 percent of his passes in 2009.
Arm strength: Lacks a great arm, but is adequate. Struggles to make some throws, but puts good velocity on the passes he can hit. Can't make a lot of deep vertical throws.
Decision making: Had inconsistent decision making early in his career. Because he always keeps his eyes downfield, Canfield tends to read and react very quickly. There may be no better quarterback near the end zone than Canfield. His awareness looks amplified.
Mechanics: Possesses some of the best mechanics in the class. Has a high, compact release that allows him to get the ball out quickly. Steps into his throws, which helps him get extra zip on his passes. Experienced coming out from under center.
Mobility: Even though Canfield worked on this area leading up to his senior season, he not much of a scrambler.
Pocket awareness: Very poised when he's standing tall in the pocket. Hs the courage to step up in the pocket while the blitz works behind him.
Final word: After missing the 2008 season while recovering from a torn labrum, little was expected from Canfield in 2009. But he quietly had a very good season. He may not do any one thing especially great, but Canfield is a solid quarterback. We have him rated so highly because of his decision making and accuracy.

Oh boy, oh boy! You have no idea how excited I was to see this new track by Bloc Party pop up.
"Rachet" is due to be released on the band's upcoming EP The Nextwave Sessions, due August 13th. I hadn't anticipated this new release, but as you can see, I'm pretty excited to hear it.
The song sees Bloc Party take an aggressive and upbeat tone that reminds me quite a lot of Foo Fighters. It borders on being a tad too intense at times, but overall leaves me feeling pretty pumped.

The Pew Research Center conducted a massive generational study in 2010 on how the American Millennial Generation (Millennials, b. 1982 – 2002) is reshaping the nation via its trends.*
It's easy to see from Pew's research that each generation has a 'personality' based upon its trends and that there are differences between the generations. Hopefully, the Pew study can help the generations understand each other; an understanding that could lead to healthier relationships.
Here's a tidbit from the study: Each generation has a self-identity. Below are the top five answers for the Millennial Generation in response to the identity question: What makes your generation unique?
1. Technology use (24%)
2. Music/Pop culture (11%)
3. Liberal/tolerant (7%)
4. Smarter (6%)
5. Clothes (5%)
In contrast, the number one (#1) answer for Baby Boomers (Boomers) for this same question was work ethic (17%). Extending the research to practice, there are noticeable differences between Boomers and Millennials on how to work or how to work together – now that Millennials are working for, working over or working with Boomers.
However, the focus of this article is not on work practice, but elsewhere; i.e., the creation of shared meaning and purpose between and among Millennials and the other current living generations; mainly, Boomers.
Below are two (2) propositions upon which to think about how generations live, work, think, feel and act together, meaningfully and purposefully.
1) Generational trends are over-arched by one or more higher-order trends which can be called super-trends. A super-trend is a trend of trends. One type of generational super-trend connotes how each generation creates meaning and purpose in life; a foundational concept in human communication theory.
2) Creating meaning and purpose in life is both an intra- and interpersonal communication process. It happens 'within and without'…overtime… and is co-created by reality or WIGO (what is going on) with everyone and everything involved.
We can pinpoint the super-trend of meaning and purpose for the Millennials with a one-word description. Also, we can contrast and compare one-word descriptions for prior generations which will add light to the intra- and interpersonal process of creating shared meaning and purpose between and among all living generations, including Millennials.
One-word Descriptions for the Super-trend of Meaning and Purpose by Generation:©
1. GI Generation: Nationalists
2. Silent Generation: Traditionalists
3. Baby Boom Generation: Re-creators
4. Generation X: Restorers
5. Millennial Generation: Globalists
The Millennials are creating shared meaning and purpose at a time of not only great globalization, but also when the nation lacks alignment, culturally.
Ponder the following: No other generation of the current living generations in the USA has had to face a challenge as chaotic as the expansion of globalization and the lack of cultural alignment. Their challenge is 'different in kind' than those of prior generations; generations that were thoroughly anchored in the American world view of their time.
'The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.' Peter Drucker
What isn't said by Millennials? – based on their unique identifier, technology (and other identifiers; especially music/pop culture) provided by Pew – here 'tis: 'Our self-identity is global.' Millennial identity reaches to the globe – they are, in effect 'global-citizens' – an identity that includes, but is not limited to being American.
As with prior generations, the Millennials have a generational world view. Theirs is salient to understanding them. To wit, unlike that of prior generations in America their world is creative in nature rather than descriptive.
In social reality, each Millennial has a story to tell – or rather to create – a living story that is unique and one that matters. They live for purpose and passion – and for their place in a global world; a world in which they view themselves as socially egalitarian.
Millennials reflect a world view that is creative by nature, global and egalitarian – a far cry from the descriptive by nature, American and patriarchal world view of Baby Boomers et al.
The Millennial world view is one that is ripe for the chaos of the 21st century.
In 1978, M. Scott Peck, M.D. wrote 'life is difficult' as his opening sentence in The Road Less Traveled (Touchstone). Peck's maxim is even more apropos today given the complex nature of social reality.
Why is life more difficult in the 21st century? Complexity (organized chaos) is unmanageable if controlled and manageable if uncontrolled; seemingly, a paradox.
Paradox is the sign of our times. Knowing how to live in the creative tension between opposing, yet complementary, forces is no longer left to spiritual outliers who have a calling to 'divine' expression – e.g., St. Francis of Assisi or Mullah Nasruddin.
Managing chaos – and the paradox inherent – is the crux of the challenge or generational call to global leadership faced by the Millennials in the 21st century.
In organized chaos or complexity, managing people, process and technology is a conditional capability – and it is a creative, not descriptive, process.** What works in one set of circumstances; may not work in another – or not work in the same way or even similarly because of one, two or all factors involved – especially the people factor.
For example, feedback interventions (FI) are generally considered to improve performance. However, the 'how' of giving feedback is as important as the 'what' in FI.
As Stolovitch writes in Human Performance Technology: Research and Theory to Practice (Human Performance, April 2000), the question 'Does feedback improve performance?' is the wrong question to ask. The right question to ask is 'What must one do so feedback improves performance?' Given complexity, the question is more specific: What must one do so feedback improves performance, conditionally – or depending upon WIGO (what is going on).
The global leadership challenge facing Millennials is 'different in kind' because of the preeminent change in world view that has taken place culturally and in the workplace in the 21st century – i.e., a change in world view from static linearity to complexity, from Americanism to globalism, from patriarchy to egalitarianism, from life as descriptive to life as creative.
Millennials in the American workplace are the first generation to face:
1. the call to leadership at a time when a global worldview is on the rise;
2. the challenge of leading as Americans who view themselves and are viewed by others as 'global-citizens;'
3. work-life with an egalitarian world view – rather than a patriarchal one;
4. the challenge of leading in a world in which complexity or organized chaos permeates the workplace;
5. the challenge of managing people, process and technology as a conditional – and creative – capability.
'Get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats. Then, figure out where you're going.' Jim Collins
Collins' prescient (and now thoroughly famous quote) from his 2001 research Good To Great (William Collins) reflects how the concept of leadership in the 21st century is being re-framed because of the developing creative, global and egalitarian world view of the Millennials.
Leadership was primarily a perfunctory nod to an institutional grip in the 20th century. Now, it's a dynamic, yet focused, metamorphosis of human creativity – with an empathic face.
For Millennials, empathy drives the leadership bus. The Millennial call to empathic leadership comes from 'within' – not 'without' – given their generational sense of self as significant. Their want of shared meaning and purpose in life is a generational need to lead – and to lead with empathy.
Empathy implies recognition of the other and an appropriate response (Baron-Cohen, Simon. The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty, Basic Books, 2009). Empathic leadership is by definition conditional and creative because it reflects a personal recognition and response to WIGO (what is going on) – emphasizing who, not what.
The Millennial leadership challenge – both generationally and personally – is finding the right bus (purpose) with the right driver (empathic leader) and the right people (talent) in the right seats (roles).
Two case study overviews of Millennials who are accepting the call to empathic leadership and personally excelling at managing chaos in the particular – because of their unique ability to create results from paradox – are provided below.
MANAGING CHAOS as 'BENEFICENT DICTATOR'
Aliya is an intelligent, educated, talented and emotionally well-balanced Millennial. She recently graduated from Johnson and Wales University with a bachelor's degree in Culinary Arts.
Aliya, a restaurant manager in Denver, CO has a passion for the hospitality industry and she is particularly good at managing front of house and back of house crews; crews that are diverse in ethnicity, race, gender, age, religious values and beliefs, cultural world view, etc.
What makes Aliya good at managing diverse crews? – a natural ability to manage chaos with employees whose goals are unaligned. Aliya knows her employees are not aligned as a team*** and never will be. A lack of alignment does not deter Aliya from motivating employees. Her motivational tools and techniques – grounded in establishing trust and building relationship – have substance, savvy and style.
First, she engages each employee – personally. She knows who they are, what they want at work (and in life), how they work (performance), when they prefer to work and where (role) they prefer to work.The employees as a whole feel needed, wanted and appreciated. Aliya has leverage in the minds and hearts of her employees unlike other managers at the restaurant.
Aliya's choice – to face down reality, search for meaning even when there doesn't appear to be any and create interpersonal rituals between and among herself and her staff – are the exact tools and techniques she needs to embrace the chaos of her particular circumstances.
Aliya acts as a 'Beneficent Dictator' for organizing the chaos inherent in a diverse crew. Work gets done. Results are good. However, there's a tipping point for negative performance: if Aliya leaves her job, the crew's performance falls to average or below because it lacks alignment.
Aliya's continual presence is needed to maintain or improve performance because she manages (people/process/technology) the creative tension between multi-dimensional needs; namely, the needs of crew, the needs of the restaurant, her bosses needs, her career needs, etc. Creating results from the lack of alignment between two or more needs – a continual 'push/pull' – is her bailiwick as a people-manager of a crew.
The risk to Aliya in her role is 'burnout.' Her enthusiasm and empathy could drown at a future point depending upon her resilience. The next case study overview contrasts a whole team approach to managing chaos that lowers the risk – especially, the risk of manager 'burnout' – of a 'Beneficent Dictator' approach.
MANAGING CHAOS as 'ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR'
Stacey is the Clinical Director of MICU at a small medical center in Raleigh, North Carolina. She's focused, committed to excellence and knowledgeable; highly articulate, Stacey, a Millennial with ten years of clinical experience, is warm, personable and capable.
Stacey's employees (direct and indirect) number fifty-six. Diversity is a consideration in the following ways. There is a smaller population of highly-educated professionals as well as a larger population of uneducated, non-professional employees in MICU. Ethnicity, race, age, religious values and beliefs, and cultural world view are also diversity considerations, but less so than the educational divergence of the team.
There are three clinical managers who report directly to Stacey. Stacey and her managers are the definition of a team – each is clinically competent, the knowledge, skills and abilities of each manager complements the others, the managers share values and beliefs, purpose and goals, etc.
There is another salient quality about Stacey and her management team. They like each other and enjoy working together. There is, in fact, a 'feeling of joy' that permeates MICU – amid the stress and strain of patient care – that can be attributed to Stacey herself.
Stacey and her managers use many of the same motivational tools and techniques as Aliya – personally engaging employees, making use of interpersonal rituals such as storytelling to foster emotional bonds between employees, speaking directly and honestly about performance at individual, team and organizational levels, etc.
The qualitative difference in managing chaos as 'Orchestra Conductor' from that of 'Beneficent Dictator' is grounded in mindset – a mindset of sharing the responsibility for performance with all involved. For example, Stacey, her managers and those on her team share a patient care orientation. Patient care, the organizing principle of MICU, is embedded in the culture. The responsibility for maintaining high-performance standards on patient care is shared across the team as a whole.
Yet, paradoxical tensions exist within high-performing teams such as MICU because people are organic (living) in nature; not mechanistic (inanimate). They are also complex (multi-dimensional). People have needs and wants, make choices for better or worse, think this and feel that, etc. All of which creates tension – paradoxical, or not.
For example, as a people-manager, Stacey selects employees – and manages and develops them with an eye on patient care. Nonetheless, 'people are people,' – and although rare in MICU, processes are thwarted for short cuts and technology breaks down.
The key to high performance when 'work goes wrong' under a shared responsibility mindset is resilience within the team. Aliya, for example, was highly resilient in and of herself. Her crew, however, wasn't. Aliya set performance standards for the crew and closed gaps when necessary. Responsibility for results sat on Aliya's lap – not at the crew's table.
However, Stacey, instead of assuming control of MICU, wields herself as an 'Orchestra Conductor' – not only of patient care standards – but, of resilience. Her team is resilient in a continuously chaotic, but organized workplace in which unceasing high performance is the standard for a diverse team. If Stacey chooses to leave her job, MICU will continue to function as a complex, whole, and resilient high-performing team.
The risk of managing as 'Orchestra Conductor' is front-end – at start-up or when the team, including the manager (s), is created. Selecting (or re-selecting) for an organizing principle (patient care in the case of MICU), is crucial. If missed during selection, there are few interventions (coaching, training, feedback, etc.) that will close the gap.
Aliya and Stacey in their respective case studies represent but two ways to manage chaos and people empathically. The 'Beneficent Dictator' (#1) and the 'Orchestra Conductor' (#2) are common enough, yet effective models that can be found in various types of organizations.
To sum, Aliya's and Stacey's promise as well as result is in the 'who' – not the 'what;' so to the Millennial Generation and their call to empathic leadership in the 21st century American workplace.
* The Millennial Generation: Confident. Connected. Open to change. (Millennials. Portrait of Generation Next, Pew Research Center, 2010).
**Conditionality in people management is not favoritism. Nor is it overstepping interpersonal boundaries, disregarding organizational rules or ignoring emotional 'acting out,' etc. Managing chaos conditionally is a human performance-based concept in which results are achieved depending upon WIGO (what is going on.)
***By definition, a team has one goal; e.g., a sports team has a goal to win the game. In a typical restaurant, a team does not exist; a crew does. Crews are made up of employees – each having his own goal. Employee goals are not aligned to each other or to that of the restaurant as a whole except by happenstance.

Sorry for the vagueness before pertaining to this question, the state is Vermont. It's a small claims case betwwen 2 brothers and myself in a property dispute. One is a member of the Air Guard being deployed for 6 months. They sold me a 1/3 interest in property then reneged on the deal, did not add my name to the deed and had me served with a no trespass notice on the property. Yet they have kept personal property and monies paid and disposed of property not belonging to them that I had a bill of sale for in my name only.
Read section 521 and 522 of the Serviceman's Relief Act at the link previously provided.
It does appear that the serviceman can get a stay of proceedings.
Whether that also applies to the brother, I don't know.
Based on what I read in the statute, it's possible that the court might not grant the stay since the brother is available to appear and answer to the allegations.
Trouble is, once the serviceman requests it, you are likely going to have to properly respond to the request and provide the court with grounds for denial of the stay.
Has the serviceman filed a request for the stay?
And when you filed your lawsuit did you complete the affidavit that says whether or not (to your knowledge) the defendant was in the service?
Warning: Legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here are simplified and might not fully explain the ramifications of your particular issue. I am not a lawyer. I do not give legal advice. I make comments based on my knowledge and experience. I guarantee nothing. If you act on my comments without the advice of an attorney, you do so at your own risk.

Some five years ago I found myself walking down the aisle to marry a wonderful man whom I proudly recognize today, as my true love and an amazing father to our two daughters, Alexandra 15 and Gabriela 12. By now I can imagine that your math is not adding, and I do not blame you.
It all started more than 20 years ago when I thought I was deeply in love and married the man who fathered my girls. As a friend once pointed out to me, "What does a 20-year-old know about love?" Oh boy, was he right on target. Our marriage lasted for 12 tumultuous years. Since I am of Asian descent, when I approached my parents five years into my "make believe happy marriage" and told them I wanted a divorce, they said "Chinese people do not get divorced, so go back home and fix your marriage", six years later with two baby girls in tow and no secrets about my failed marriage, I went back to them and stated, once again, that I wanted a divorce, this time they sadly said "It was time…and we support you!"
Alexandra was seven at the time, and I will never forget how her tiny face shone with sheer happiness when I escorted her and her little sister into our new home, a small apartment that I had rented and furnished with the last of my savings. I had managed to move into the apartment literally little by little. Every day after work I would rush home to pack toys and clothes into large, black garbage bags, whenever the girl's father wasn't around the house, and drove to the place, dragging the heavy bags and dropping them just inside the apartment, so I could rush back to the girls before their father came home. On weekends, I would go to the apartment and fix everything, preparing for the day that I could finally call it my home. My ex-husband had full knowledge that I was suing for a no fault divorce and it wasn't until the family court judge's final ruling that I was allowed to leave HIS house with my girls. Otherwise, I would have been abandoning the family home and kidnapping my own children. Gabriela was so young at the time; she barely remembers the bad and nasty moments that her older sister, unfortunately, will never forget.
My wonderful husband and I were introduced through common relatives, when I was still married, he always kept his distance and I was so immersed in my misery that I would daydream about being with someone like him had I not hurried into marriage so early in life and had decided that I would die if I did not marry against all odds, my family's and friends' wishes, to my now ex-husband. Again, "What does a 20-year-old know about love?"
Here I take a breath to clarify that I do not agree with divorce and I encourage all my friends and family, who are going or planning to go through it that, the sanctity and unity of a family is sacred and should almost never be broken, unless there are "irreconcilable differences" meaning aggression and disrespect. Even marriages that fall out of love are known to continue together with some kind of common ground negotiation, usually for the sake of the children. However, there are situations when the people involved are better off on their own.
When I was finally divorced, my soon-to-be wonderful husband decided that I needed a movie-buddy and that he was the suitable person for this task. He introduced me to fine sushi, a deliciously and mouth-watering experience!!! There are no words to describe the feeling you have when tasting a piece of fresh red tuna or pink salmon and the way the fish will melt in your mouth. He also introduced me to other joyful experiences such as feeling respected, cared, protected and loved. When after two years of being movie-buddies he decided it was time to go up a step and asked me to marry him, I could not believe my ears. All this time I swore we were only friends. All I could think about was how this well-groomed, educated and Asian-raised young man could even think about marrying a divorcee with two girls. Was he going nuts? Especially being an only child to his very traditional Asian mother. Well, it seems he knew what he wanted and it was the three of us. So I said yes!
"Lucky in love through a painful divorce"

I'm always impressed by the candy that I find from Meiji, and Coffeebeat is one that I always see at my local Asian market without fail. The fact that I see it all the time has made me continually hold off on buying it, until recently when I finally told myself: "Just try it already! Sheesh!". I didn't really know what it was exactly, other than chocolate and coffee were involved, so I was interested to see what I'd gotten myself into.
These look familiar, like M&Ms to be exact. They are all a rich brown color and have a wonderful roasted, coffee aroma. They're immediately enticing.
Biting into one, yes, they really are like M&Ms. The candy shell is thin and has a good crunch to it. Inside is the chocolate center, and it carries not only the flavor of coffee, but it has notes of cream and chocolate as well. It's more of a mocha than a true black cup of coffee. I think the flavor carries well here, the sweetness doesn't overpower the coffee and vise versa. I also like the form of the candy too, I have always been a fan of the little lentil shapes for chocolate.
The packaging is really a nice design too. The tube allows you to take as little or much as you want at one time, and whatever you don't eat is easily saved for later or shared with friends.
A nice treat if you're into coffee and chocolate. I'll have these on hand when for when my next craving strikes.

Application for Full Membership
I'm a 31 year old South Australian who was referred here while searching for a Cabal in The Secret World. I've heard of this organisation before, and having read the FAQ I think it sounds like the sort of thing I'd like to be a part of.
At the moment I'm most particularly interested in finding people to do Nightmare dungeons with in TSW, but suspect my involvement with this group could extend far beyond this activity. Currently TSW (and a bit of Orcs Must Die 2) is the focus of my online gaming but I've played others in the past (most notably Rift and Anarchy Online).
I'm single and studying for a Bachelor's degree full-time having picked a new direction, so I'm probably not really in the same place in life as the bulk of you, but I'm sure as a mature and respectful gamer with a strong sense of fair play that we'll get along fine.

There'll be a Moderator along in due course to get you sorted.
However, while waiting: as a TSW officer, and an Aussie, I say G'day. We have a reasonable group of Aussies and Kiwis around these days that are NM Capable, plus we have a regular weekend for dungeon and raid type stuff. So I'm sure we'll find you a NM group easy enough.

One of Beyoncé's singing cohorts from Destiny's Child, the R&B girl group comprised of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and for a short while, Farrah Franklin, was arrested on the morning of July 20 in Conway, South Carolina. According to People, Farrah Franklin was taken into custody early Sunday morning and booked on disorderly conduct charges.
The 33-year-old Franklin was "booked around 5 a.m. Sunday and released shortly after noon the same day, according to the Horry County Sheriff's Office." The Huffington Post reported that alcohol and a few NFL players were involved in what sounds like a minor emotional breakdown for the songstress.
Franklin's arrest followed a night of drinking in Myrtle Beach with Da'Quan Bowers, defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Ricky Sapp, outside linebacker for the Houston Texans. Bowers and Sapp both played college ball for Clemson University in South Carolina. After a night out on the town, the two NFL players ended up back at Sapp's home with Franklin; and Franklin sounds like she just lost it.
The ball players had to call the cops when the former Destiny's Child songbird started "yelling, slamming doors and refused to stop when asked." When police arrived on the scene in the early morning hours on Sunday, Franklin was out of the house – but laying in the front yard of one of Sapp's neighbors. Franklin told the cops that she "did not have anywhere else to go and was planning on sleeping in the woods."
Deputies with the Horry County Sheriff's Office escorted Franklin to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center where she was booked on Sunday at 4:55 a.m. She was released shortly after noon after posting a $280 bond.
After the incident, Franklin posted a motivational quote to Instagram. She wrote: "That part! I'm good just hate the dumb media sometimes, but hey this is the job I signed up for. So I respect it #TurnDownForWhat #TeamFARRAH #GodsChild #Instagram."
According to TMZ, Franklin was arrested once before on a disorderly conduct charge back in 2011 in Los Angeles. Allegedly, alcohol was involved in that incident also. Franklin claimed at the time that she was a victim of racial profiling.
Franklin was only with Destiny's Child for about five months before she left the super group in 2000. Immediately after Franklin split from the group, Beyoncé and company said that the rest of the girls were forced to ask her to leave after she missed several events and at least one scheduled performance. For more on Franklin's arrest, see the video accompanying this article.

I would like to calculate or at least to estimate some expectation.
Let $r_k$, $k=1,\ldots, 2n$ be random variables with $P(r_k=1)=P(r_k=-1)=\frac 12$ and such that half of them $r_k=1$ and half $r_k=-1$. Let $b_k$, $k=1,\ldots, 2n$ be real numbers.
I would like to calculate $$ E\left(\prod_{i=1}^n\prod_{j=n+1}^{2n} \exp(r_ib_ir_jb_j)\right). $$
Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thank you.

ONTARIO, CANADA (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- imagine a treatment for clogged arteries that opens them up much in the same way Drano opens up a clogged drain. that is the principle behind a new therapy surgeons are testing for patients with total blockages in the arteries.
For years, Joseph Mashtaler spent all his spare time exploring the outdoors near his home in Ontario, Canada. Until two years ago when heart disease kept him virtually housebound.
"Even my children who are adults said, 'dad, what happened? you were invincible.' that's what hit me. i just want to be normal," Joseph Mashtaler, cancer patient, told Ivanhoe.
The artery leading to Joseph's heart was totally blocked. Doctors tried a traditional approach to reopen the artery, but the plaque that had built up inside his arteries was too dense for angioplasty to work. Doctor Bradley Strauss, M.D., at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto pioneered a new treatment that would give patients with total blockage another option.
"I've been working on a type of chemical, Drano, to soften the collagen inside the plaque, so it's easier to cross with our conventional guide wires and equipment," Bradley Strauss, M.D., chief of the Schulich Heart Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre said.
Doctors inject the enzyme into the blockage and the drug softens the plaque overnight.
"We'll bring the patient back the next day and will just use a conventional approach to doing angioplasty," Dr. Strauss said.
Strauss says reopening the artery this way, means some patients may not have to undergo bypass surgery at all. For Joseph, that means a faster recovery -- reason enough to celebrate.
Doctor Strauss was able to successfully perform angioplasty on 12 of 15 patients who were injected with the enzyme. All of the patients in the trial had a previous failed attempt at opening the occlusion. The researcher is about to begin a large clinical trial of the enzyme in Canada and the U.S. MORE

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Operation Clean up was in full force Friday. It's part of a weeklong campaign to keep Laredo beautiful. This time, city inspectors were working to clean up parts of south Laredo, near Cigarroa High School.
Teresa Bustamonte was visiting her brother when the inspectors showed up at his home.
She says the visit was helpful and is thankful the city is helping them clean up.
"Yes because sometimes the people don't have the trucks or anything to clean up their yard. If they can at least put it on the street so that the trucks can pick it up, it would be very helpful."
The inspectors went to 300 to 400 homes, all to encourage people to clean up. Instead of giving out citations, inspectors spoke with the residents about options they have to clean up. The city will then follow up and make sure residents comply.
"The violators you find here is really just empty lots. Maybe someone didn't remember to maintain it, we'll notify them through the mail or a lot of people keep an abandoned car on the street that's obstructing, so we'll tag those and give them a few days to comply. Tires, there's a real problem out there, they are always just thrown all over the place."
The city's health department was also collecting stray animals. Police were also out putting warnings on cars that were parked in the street. The inspectors will then follow up to make sure violators have cleaned-up. On Wednesday, solid waste will clean up the junk the residents put on the junk.
Those who do not comply could face fines ranging from $200-$2,000. The city tries to do this once a month in different parts of Laredo to clean it up.

National Post ·
The first time Paul Pierce knew he had arrived was an L. A. moment. He was on the court at the Staples Center, a young and budding star, and someone called his name. He turned and there was Denzel Washington, saying "Keep doing what you're doing." Right there, Pierce knew he was somebody.
It took a long time, though, for him to be more than that. These NBA Finals were supposed to belong to Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson and the Los Angeles Lakers, and as of yesterday afternoon that possibility still existed. But the reason that possibility was slim, the reason the Boston Celtics held a 3-2 lead heading into last night's Game 6, was Pierce, who had been the best player on the floor in a series boasting two league MVPs.
"Paul is one of my favourite players in the league," Kobe Bryant said after Pierce's 38-point, eight-assist, six-rebound effort in Game 5. "He's tough. There's not a lot of players that have a well-rounded game ... He's got a good mid-range game, long ball, pull up to the hoop, pull up left, pull up right. He has the whole package. I enjoy watching him play. I enjoy playing against him. He's fantastic."
Pierce has always been talented, but he was too often a pouting, look-at-me, pound-the-dribble scorer andlittle else. And he was prone to trouble on and off the court. Most notably, there was the stabbing outside a club in September, 2000, that resulted in 11 puncture wounds to Pierce's face, neck and back. His leather jacket might have saved his life. In a nod to his toughness, he was back when the season began.
His maturity, however, was harder to find. Pierce's petulance defined Team USA's disastrous sixth-place finish at the 2002 world championship. He was worse in the 2004 playoffs, when he was ejected at the end of a sweep by Indiana and bizarrely showed up at the post-game news conference wearing a fake bandage wrapped around his head. When Doc Rivers became Boston's coach the next season, he bluntly told Pierce that nobody wanted to play with him.
"Well, obviously when we first started, [our relationship] wasn't great, because I asked him to change his game," Rivers said. "But I thought it was the right thing for the team, and I thought it was the right thing for Paul?and the credit goes to Paul for doing it."
His gradual transformation took place on terrible and callow teams. Boston was a basketball backwater and Pierce became an NBA afterthought, supplanted by Kobe and LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and a dozen other younger stars in the making. At the end of last season, he told The Boston Globe, "I'm the classic case of a great player on a bad team, and it stinks."
But that was before general manager Danny Ainge swung blockbuster trades for shooting guard Ray Allen and ex-MVP Kevin Garnett, two other members of the league's stars-in-the-gutter club. Of the three, the one that observers figured was least likely to mesh was Pierce: of the three, he was the least mature.
But he was mature enough. During Boston's league-best 66-win season, he defended, and he sacrificed. For the first time, he fit in.
And when the Celtics struggled in the early playoff rounds to figure themselves out, it was Pierce who seized control. It was Pierce who scored 12 of his 27 points in the series-ending fourth quarter of Game 6 against Detroit. It was Pierce who outduelled LeBron in Game 7 of the second round, scoring 41 points to LeBron's 45, matching the young superstar shot for did-you-see-that shot in a reprise of the legendary 1988 Game 7 shootout between Dominique Wilkens and Larry Bird.
"I'm very aware of that game," Pierce said. "They never let you forget it."
In Boston, they never do. Of all these Celtics vying for the franchise's 17th title, only Pierce is a real Celtic. He has been here for a decade, and he understands the history, understands what it means. Everyone else, to varying degrees, is just renting green and white. Pierce owns it.
"In Boston, they always talk about how many championships you won," Bird said. "I think it's very important for Paul to win one if he wants to be put up there with the great ones, even though I think he is a fantastic player, probably one of the best players to ever come through there."
In so many ways, these have been Pierce's Finals. His out-of-the-wheelchair Game 1 after hurting his right knee; his 28-point, eight-assist Game 2; his Game 4, when he asked to guard Kobe and still scored 14 of his 20 points after halftime in Boston's record-setting comeback; and his magnificent Game 5.
Sure, he glibly shrugged off comparisons to Denver's Carmelo Anthony by saying, "I've never had a DUI." Sure, he's not quite a wise man yet. But he's closer every day.
And so the kid who grew up in Inglewood, Calif., blocks from the old Forum; the kid who used to sneak into Lakers games as a kid by acting as poor and lonely as he could; the kid who showed up at the gym every morning to work with a local police officer on his game -- "I didn't really see too many gang members out or bad things happening at 6 a. m." says Pierce -- and the kid who nearly bled to death on a Boston sidewalk eight years ago was on the verge of cementing his status as a genuine Celtics great.
"This means everything," he said earlier in this series. "It's a dream. Once you get to the NBA, your first dream is making it in the NBA, being a star, and then figuring out what's your next dream. It's a dream for me to go home and play in a place where I grew up, against a team I grew up with, with the Boston Celtics, with the opportunity to win an NBA championship. Couldn't have scripted it any better."

…well as a positive outlook. Reach out to them and ask for help through these difficult times. Chances are that people close to you already know how unhappy you are in your present relationship. Don't hesitate to surround yourself with people who really care about you.
5. Just do it.
Once you are emotionally ready to put an end the relationship, give it to them straight. Unless you fear for your physical safety, do it personally – breaking up by email, text or even over the phone should be avoided as far as possible. Just in case, prepare yourself for an emotional outburst or even emotional blackmail from your partner in an attempt to keep you back. Express yourself in a calm, precise manner and then allow him/her to respond. Hear whatever they have to say but don't get trapped in accusations, counter-accusations and justifications. Keep in mind that you have made your decision and are here simply to let them know.
6. Allow yourself time to grieve.
Even if the move to get out of the relationship has come from you, it is sure to bring its share of pain. So allow yourself a few days to feel sad. Pull down the blinds, put on some soulful music and have a good cry. Do whatever is necessary to work the misery out of your system. But please avoid drinking binges, drug-taking or any other risk-taking behavior. Everything will be just fine.
7. Give yourself a treat.
Many a time it is difficult to leave an unhappy relationship – opting out seems too much effort and it is easier to lapse back into the way things were. In order to prevent this from happening, reward yourself with something nice after each stage of getting out. For instance if you have been able to go on a whole week without calling or mailing your recent ex, treat yourself to a brunch at your favorite restaurant.
8. Keep your schedule booked.
One of the best ways to leave behind an unhappy relationship is to stay busy. Even the otherwise mind-numbing routine of a domestic life – taking out the trash, shopping for supplies, filling up the gas tank – can motivate you to continue with your regular life and thus come out of your house, instead of giving way to loneliness and depression. Stay moving. Keep your head up.
9. Don't go looking for a rebound.
Once out of an unhappy relationship, you may be eager to get back to dating scene. But remember, rebound affairs never work because you are just not emotionally ready for a new relationship. And even if you are not serious about it yourself, it's not fair to the other person who may not be aware of your real feelings. It's best to make sure you healed before you get back out there. Take your time.

Beautifully Falling Apart (2010 - 2011) is a series of 36 paintings each measuring 29 x 20 cm by Colin Lawson. Inspired by the music of ambient musicians Marconi Union, the series is informed by their album 'Beautifully Falling Apart' released by Just Music in 2011. Marconi Union are known for their unique fusion of ambient electronica and organic instrumentation. The album explores motifs of industrial decay and entropy. Lawson's paintings respond visually with mathematically structured compositions which are ultimately foiled by layers of amorphous paint.
An obsession with surface is the subject matter of my painting. Subtlety is a primary concern; a principle influenced by my fascination with ambient music, in particular its ability to envelop the listener without drawing attention to itself. From the early experiments of John Cage through to Brian Eno and present day recordings by Labradford and Marconi Union, I have been searching to find what might be considered a visual equivalent of this remarkable music. It is not my intention to illustrate this music however. The compositions are informed by responses to repeated notes and subtle variations in texture. The gradual introduction of stronger rhythms and the smaller, hidden sounds which surface periodically. My aim is to create an unobtrusive form of painting which will encourage attention rather than demand it.

JE DESIGN VW Touareg R Line 2011
The new Touareg measures four centimetres longer than its predecessor. However, only JE DESIGN makes the big VW wider. A combination of alloy wheels and a lowered stance bestows the new JE DESIGN Widebody kit conversion of Wolfsburg's new SUV with a more striking appearance and a "king-of-the-road" like presence. The performance enhancement lives up to the visual appearance one expects from the widebody in an impressive way, and the superb interior is nothing but luxurious.

We cut the recipe in half and made this for 4. It turned out wonderful. This was easier to make than it looks. We couldnt find frozen sour cherries, so we used an anti-oxidant mix of cherries and berries. I would adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the fruit next time. It was a little sweeter than I expected (because I used more berries). This is a keeper and I'm excited about trying it with different kinds of fruit.
Sour Cherry-Fruit Slump
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
A slump (sometimes called a grunt) is a cobbler with light, puffy steamed dumplings, rather than browned biscuit dough, on the top. This variation calls for tart "pie" cherries as well as an assortment of sweeter summer fruit (berries and plums) to round out the flavor and brighten the sour-cherry color. Recipe by Nancy Baggett.
3 Reviews for Sour Cherry-Fruit Slump
I also made this for the first time. It came out totally different than I expected, but it tasted really great! It's simple and still good, ideal as evening snack. Super!
We tried this for the first time over Thanksgiving and this is now the "go to" dessert for holidays. It's a cinch to make but tastes totally decadent. Make sure you use a deep enough pan so the tops don't push against the lid.

Map Details
Title: Map of Florida Constructed Principally from Authentic Documents in the Land Office at Tallahassee
Year: 1829
Language: English
Creator: I. G. Searcy
One of the earliest maps to show the new Territory of Florida. Published just eight years after full ratification of the treaty that ceded Florida to the United States from Spain, the map shows the early boundaries of numerous counties and other land grants. Lake Okeechobee is referred to as Lake Macaco and is shown further to the south west than it actually is. The map also includes an inset of Tallahassee in the lower left with explanatory notes describing the original layout of the city. The original 1829 map was folded, and our reproduction shows fold marks with some staining along the folds.
This map is sold as a print set split into 4 individual prints. Each print is sized to fit perfectly in a standard size frame without a mat.
PLEASE NOTE: Frames are not included.

Reviews for Chocolate Toffee Delights
"The first time I made these, I processed the coconut and almonds as directed, but they were a bit too fine for me. The second time, I only slightly chopped the nuts and coconut in the food processor and liked it much better. I prefer more texture from the coconut and nuts. They taste a lot like my favorite GS cookie! The jar of caramel topping made the prep time much quicker, but next time I may try homemade caramel because the ice cream topping was a bit too runny."
"These came out so yummy! I didn't have almond extract so I doubled up on vanilla extract. The shortbread was a little crumby, but I live in a dry climate, so maybe that's why. I will make it again!"
"Very good! I used 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract and they tasted great. Will definitely make these again."
"Definitely a winner with me. If you like the Girl Scout cookie "Somoas" you'll love these."
"These are very easy to make and they turned out great! Delicious!!!!"

Speak With A Treatment Specialist
When a Christian has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, the path to recovery is often enhanced when treatment is rooted in faith and spiritual principles. Instead of continuing to use drugs and alcohol, a person of faith will be able to lean on the Lord to find genuine fulfillment and healing. In a Christian rehab Pennsylvania, people can draw on God for their salvation, to fulfill their emotional needs and voids, and to find a sense strength which is needed to get through a drug and alcohol rehab center.
How does an addiction to drugs and alcohol make an addicted person feel?
When you engage in addiction, you will find the world is a dark and lonely place. You will probably wonder how and why you came to this place and wonder even more about how you can get out. Out of all the resources a Christian has available to them, the one thing most Christians need to have is a close connection with the Lord. When you are at your lowest and darkest place in life and addiction or alcoholism issues have robbed you of your joy, remember if you choose drug and alcohol treatment for Christians, you can find the path back to God.
Why is it so hard for a Christian with an addiction or alcoholism problem to open up about the issues?
It is never easy to admit when you have made a mistake or bad choice, but you should remember you are not perfect and only human. Once you admit to a need for help and you place your faith in the Lord, you can rest assured in knowing you are going to be just fine. Just because you put your faith in God does not mean that you will not have a difficult fight ahead of you, but through entering a Christian addiction treatment center and placing your faith in the Lord, you no longer have to fight the battle to become clean and sober, alone.
What happened that made you seek out drugs and alcohol?
What happened in your past which brought you to seek out drugs and alcohol to make you feel better? Do you have a hole in your heart? Is your life not what you hoped it would be? Have you experienced a trauma which makes you seek substance abuse to help you forget? No matter what happened in the past that made you seek out drugs and alcohol, you can use your faith and get help from Christian rehab Pennsylvania to become clean and sober again.
Why should you consider getting help from a Christian addiction treatment program?
You need to stop being lonely and living in darkness, because you can find the light and get help for your problems through Christian rehab Pennsylvania. Reach out and embrace the help of people who are there to care and support you as you fight back against drug and alcohol addiction. Remember that through the Lord all things are possible and today you can get help for your addiction problems and begin to shine again.

Still Searching, More Tests...
Saturday, August 03, 2013
This has been quite the week. I felt very ill on Sunday, but since I'm the only staff that works the weekend, I toughed through it, but on Monday I was sent home from work! I passed out for over three hours when I got home, and started to feel better after that.... Tuesday I had an appointment with an internal medicine specialist, Wednesday my aunt and uncle arrived from Ohio, and Thursday I had an appointment with my new OBGYN. Busy week!
I didn't feel like I was in the right place on Tuesday, and fully admitted that I suspected that I should be at an endocrinologist, not internist. The lovely doctor agreed with me, but did a full work up anyhow before saying that she suspects that I may have endometriosis. She has told me to stop taking pain medication because it may be irritating my stomach lining, and has prescribed some medication to try to repair any damage my pill-popping did. I'm also going in for another ultrasound, this time for my gall bladder. My primary and the internist had noted bloating and sensitivity in that area, so it's a precaution! I've looked in to endometriosis, and I definitely have a lot of the symptoms, however, everyone is in agreement that there is most certainly something hormonal going on too... so we're still looking!
Thursday's appointment was interesting to say the least. My OBGYN is all but convinced that I have PCOS. She lamented how poorly this syndrome is named, and that studies have shown that as little as 25-30% of women with PCOS actually have cysts on their ovaries! I have a whole new set of blood work ordered yet again, this time focusing in on my hormone levels. I may have an official diagnosis soon, or we will for sure know that it is NOT PCOS. Either way, it's an answer! After much discussion, I am accepting that she wants me to be on birth control for the next six months. One of the reasons I started this doctor journey is because my husband and I have not been able to achieve pregnancy. I don't really want to be on birth control, but I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity. My husband can get tested during this time, to see if there are any hurdles from his end, I will get my period regulated again, and it gives me a deadline to go whole hog for food and fitness.
I've been very discouraged/bothered as more and more labels get added to my medical profile. Diabetic (very borderline, but the pre-diabetic diagnosis has been removed from the medical lexicon), obesity, infertility, possible PCOS, possible endometriosis, possible high blood pressure... in two months I've gone from nothing to disaster! Something I'm trying to focus on is the FACT that everything I've been diagnosed with is treatable/reversible.
I have to focus on the FACT that am in control of this situation, and though it has been ridiculously difficult to lose weight in the past, the low amylose diet seems to be quite effective, so it's time to get serious. No more gluten, bye bye majority of grains, catch you later below ground veggies! When I felt really thrown and upset, I stopped my yoga challenge, and I need to get back to it. My stress/anxiety levels are high, and it's just a FACT that yoga has been a big help! Gotta keep working out regularly, and I really need to add in strength training again.
So I have a plan. Have I had plans in the past? Abso-freaking-lutely. The don't always go AS planned, now do they? Haha. But I just have to keep focused and take everything one day at a time. I have to stick to my plan and get my husband on board to help me out. I'm hopeful that the tests will come back conclusive, and I'll be on the right track for answers. I like to have a tangible thing to fight/work through!

Awww!! (((HUGS))) I'm so sorry that you still don't have any good answers! :-( The only thing I would continue to do is KEEP SEARCHING!!! If one doctor tells you that nothing is wrong, go to another - and another - and another - until you find out what is wrong! Sometimes we have to take our own well being in our own hands.......so I would encourage you to hang tight, and don't give up until you get a doctor that can help you! (Unfortunately, that really may mean leaving the area, but YOU are totally worth it!!) Good luck, and I hope you start to get good answers soon!

It is stressful to go through everything you are going through! Hopefully, you will get even more answers soon. You could have Hypothyroidism. It can make you feel extremely exhausted, dizzy and like you are going to pass out. I believe you mentioned you may have it in your last blog. A lot of times, these conditions occur together but that is good that you are trying to focus on the positive.
Good luck with everything!

I wish you well .......... and as you said, "Take it one day at a time" ............ get a firm diagnosis ....... rather than a multitude and ask your Doctor to work with you ............ I would definitely write down a plan .......... track, eliminate what you know bothers you and go from there. Stress is a really bad thing ................... so if Yoga helps then don't give it up .............. Best to you! ........

5/6/12- Looking Back
Sunday, May 06, 2012
I know I haven't really blogged in a long while, but I thought I should...
I was just flipping through some of my old notebooks and old folders and I came across my weightloss notebook from years ago and it had all these fitness charts and all the pages I used t track my progress on and all these different exercise charts.
Then I found another one and it had the same things in it. And then another and another.
Can you see where I am going with this?
I have been trying to lose weight for so many years and each time I think that it's working I end up giving up or gaining weight. Just reading through all the logs reminded me that I am still in the same position as I was back then.
I start off strong and then I give up when it gets too hard. Or I get completely obsessed about losing weight that I will clip every article that I can find that I think will help me lose weight, and I would constantly exercise without eating first or without making sure I was hydrated enough because I wanted to be skinny so bad.
Now I am no better off than I was then. I gained more weight since then, which was around 2009 and 2010 and some from last year as well. It is crazy the things that you go through just to feel good about yourself on the outside. I have so many other parts of my life in shambles, my health being one of them, that I don't even know how to focus on getting healthy and this time not letting the rough patch that we all experience when trying to lose weight, get me down or make me quit.
I feel exactly like that girl I was a few years ago only I have gotten older on the outside, but in the inside I still feel like that insecure girl that wants to be beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. I try to ignore those feelings that I have about myself sometimes, but when things are going bad you rarely can find anything good to think about.
It's funny how just something as simple as a notebook can trigger all these memories and feelings.
I really want to lose weight now for the right reasons and the right way. The past is the past for a reason and I am trying my best to keep it just that. It is hard standing strong when you feel like you have only been weak, but I am up for the challenge. It is 2012, Its a new year so I want to from now on focus on the present and the future, and perhaps create a better one for myself.
I feel like I need a therapist sometimes, but until I can get one I will just keep blogging, I guess.

I'm trying to watch a sports highlight video on my 2011 Macbook Pro. I've got my computer set up to be about as fast as it can, apart from upgrading the 2.3 ghz processor - a solid state drive, 8GB of RAM and a large cache. I also closed all applications and tabs other than the tab with the video open. I've got a fairly fast Internet connection at home; for example Netflix videos stream fine.
However the video quality on Flash videos is really blocky - the audio is OK, but the video is not at all smooth, it will show the same frame for one second and then skip to a new frame, which makes video watching impossible. I know it's not a problem with the video, because it appeared smooth on a desktop PC with the same internet connection running the same browser (Firefox).
What could be the problem? What steps can I take to debug it?
