Secrets of Success
I am "normal."
Tuesday, July 30, 2013
First, let me say I HATE the word "normal" and that's why it's always in quotes when I type it. I told one sparker that "normal" is as individual as fingerprints and I truly believe that. I am a special education teacher and "normal" takes on a whole new meaning in my classroom.
Secondly, I am not JUDGING anyone! I am merely stating an observation that I noticed today.
With all that said, I had to remind myself that I am "normal" on several occasions today. By "normal" I mean a healthy weight and a strong body. *Noticed I didn't say thin, skinny, waif, etc. but healthy!!
Maybe it's because teachers put in so much time taking care of others that they forget to take care of themselves. Maybe because of the long hours that it's easy to say that they are too tired to exercise. Or maybe because they spend so much time in the classroom that it's just easier to drive through a fast food establishment than to fix a healthy meal at home.
As I looked around today I couldn't help how unhealthy 80% of teachers are. (At least the ones in my sessions today.) Many were overweight and quite a few would be considered obese. Again, I am not judging!!
I know that many districts now have a health wellness program, but I really wonder how many actually participate and if they do, if they are honest with the program and themselves. I know if they had a wellness program 3 years ago, I probably wouldn't have participate or I would have fibbed about my progress just to get that $25.00 Visa gift card! (I love coffee and that's my reward to myself!)
Yesterday I gave the Sparkpeople.com website to one of the presenters. She stated she had still had 40 lbs to lose after the birth of her twins and that was 7 years ago. I simply said that SparkPeople sounded like a good fit for her and she should check it out. Besides doing that, I guess I can only lead by example and share my story with those that are interested in starting the journey to good health.
I also need to remind myself that I am "normal." I am in my weight range for my height, my BMI is in the healthy range and my blood pressure is great. I now run and have ran some races and hope to do a 1/2 marathon in the future. I feel good and I'm proud of what I've accomplished. I finally feel good about myself and I finally feel "normal." Ok, as "normal" as I can get...most of the time!

I know it's so hard when we see others that really need to adopt new and healthy habits. My DH two sisters are coming to visit today for a week. Both are overweight but one in particular has been told by her doctor she needs to lose weight as she is pre diabetic. She says she wants to eat like me when she is here. But I don't think that will work as the two sisters really into their wine. I am going to show her sparks and see if I can get her into that.
Have a terrific day.

Great job on being normal. I am a teacher also and see lots of overweight people. You are right, very often people in the caretaking professions give to others, but don't spend time on themselves. Hopefully you can be a mentor !

I guess it's just a matter of relativity! Everyone I know doesn't consider me "normal!" I'm good with that!

All I could think about as I read this was the school that used to train teachers was called "normal school"... yes, my mind is warped. You are so much more than normal, YOU are extraordinary!
But isn't it great to get into the range where the BMI says "normal" or even "desirable", or, for sure, "healthy"?
As for mentoring those around us... when they ask, we share. We share from a standpoint of joy in our journey. I had a gal ask me yesterday if I would take her for a walk today, and I shall. She wants to learn to "eat healthier"... she is NOT overweight, but she has considerable health issues, and she wants to be ABLE to do things. She sees learning something about nutrition as a pathway to there from where she is now. One step at a time, I say... first comes desire, then action!
Spark on! Keep being that great example.

You are truly "normal". What wonderful things you can do for others, and you do!! Be sure when you are doing well like this, that you take the time to pat yourself on the back, and remember to take some time for yourself. I think most "normal" people do that.....
(if they don't, they should)
Thanks for sharing this great blog.

Hate to tell you Mako- You are not normal! You are now any example of how to solve the problem! Good for you, but bad for those who don't get it. Keep pushing, keep running, and keep testifying as to how good you feel.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
More than 50 citizens filled the Chetco Community Public Library meeting room Wednesday night to hear candidates vying for board seats in four special districts share their visions on everything from sewer rates to state funding for Southwestern Oregon Community College.
There are nine candidates running for four seats on the SWOCC board, five of whom attended the League of Women Voters forum Wednesday in Brookings.
Marcia Jensen, running for Position 2, said she's feels state financing for the institution, which has dropped in the 10 years she's been involved from 50 percent to 22 percent, is the biggest problem facing SWOCC today.
"It's an issue with community colleges across the nation," Jensen said.
"We have to find a backfill. Raising tuition is not what I want to do," Jensen said. "We need sustainable funding. We need to keep tuition affordable and have faculty and staff in line with their needs."
Julie Kremers of Coos Bay is running for the Position 5 seat. She said she believes there are areas in the district that can be streamlined to save money.
"I have heard (some schools) are not up to staffing the community needs," she said. "I don't want to see that building sitting empty up on that hill. We need to bring back the vision of the founder: 'making education affordable to all the working folks.' I want to help bring his vision of an affordable education for the working people of Coos, Curry and Douglas counties."
Ian Maitland, running for the Position 7 seat along with Danny Stoddard and Judy May-Lopez, agreed, saying more needs to be done to provide students with the opportunity for higher education.
David Bridgham, running for the Position 4 seat, emphasized the importance of rural colleges having a voice at the state level.
Vocational and technical education is not to be forgotten in an ever-changing economic world, the candidates agreed, some noting that the high school should reinstate such classes — woodshop, welding, home economics and auto repair among them — while offering college-credit opportunities for those students.
"I am all for students going into the world early," Maitland said. "They get an idea what it's like in the real world. I'd be for it if the education is of a high quality."
Currently, the board is working to further expand into health, science and technology fields.
"We need to see what they want and help them get real-world experience," Bridgham said. "We need to reach out to businesses and industry to offer relevant training."
Kremers said courses should be available for students to take over the many jobs increasingly being vacated by retiring fishermen, plumbers, electricians and others.
"The opportunity for vocational and technical training is a critical tie from SWOCC to the community," Jensen said. "If the college is aware you need a program, we should provide it. It's part of our college mission."
May-Lopez said she is excited about education and its relationship in the community.
"SWOCC leads and inspires lifelong learning — can you say it any better than that?" she said. "It's what SWOCC is here for, and I want to help them do it."
The candidates who were unable to attend included Renée Menkens, running for Position 4; Tim Bishop, running for Position 5; Holly Hall Stamper, running for Position 2 and Danny Stollard, running for Position 7.
Brookings school district
There are now seven citizens running for three seats on the Brookings-Harbor School District Board.
The three women in attendance and running for seats — Alice Farmer (Position 2), incumbent Carol Ann Slewing and Katherine Ann Johnson (Position 5) — each have children and have been involved in numerous volunteer organizations related to students.
Incumbent Brad Peters, running for Position 4, said he's got a different reason for wanting to be on the board.
"I love what I do," the incumbent said. "I thought it (the term) was only for a year when I first ran, but it's four. And I enjoy it. I enjoy the students, the staff, and I'd like to do it again."
"I needed a child fix," Slewing said, noting that she's had four children, nine foster kids and seven foreign exchange students running through her life over the years. Most are out of the school system now.
She'd like to see more extracurricular field trips offered, vocational education reinstated and another counselor added to staff.
Questions from the audience ranged from perceived conflicts of interest, teacher bullying and how the district could be affected if the May 21 levy measure fails.
"If the levy fails, it won't have a direct impact (on schools), because it's specific for law enforcement," Johnson said. "However, the long-term has me concerned."
She knows the police officer who left Grants Pass because of increased crime after a tax levy there failed last year.
"It didn't take but six months and people were choosing certain parts of Josephine County — Cave Junction — knowing law enforcement wasn't going to be as visible," Johnson said. "We'll attract those kind of people and, over time, that will send a message that the community is not safe to the significant number of students who live in the county.
"That'll turn up in the schools. It will trickle down to them," she added. "Everything's not about how (things are) impacted financially; there are other things."
Farmer said she worries about the safety of the students in an environment with less law enforcement, and feels the board needs to provide a way to fill any shortage.
"If there are problems at home, more crime, it will affect the district," she said.
Slewing and Peters said school district financial numbers fluctuate anyway, and they will address any financial issues based on budgetary procedures.
Another question posed to Slewing concerned the district's graduation rate of about 66 percent and why the board decided to eliminate a class period at the high school.
Slewing said graduation figures are difficult to pin down, and the class period was later reinstated.
"That was a really bad mistake," she said. "They need an extra period to study, to get mentoring, to get help. The high school has rigid requirements; it's hard to graduate."
Peters said classes formerly used for some vocational classes are still filled — with students studying robotics, which requires woodworking, welding, computer-aided drafting among other skills useful in the trades.
Candidates who couldn't make the forum included incumbent Allene Fewell (Position 2), Sue Chambers (Position 4), Bruce Raleigh (Position 5).
Port of Brookings Harbor
Five candidates are in the running for three, four-year terms at the Port of Brookings Harbor. Mike Manning, who was appointed last year to the Position 1 seat, is uncontested.
But incumbent Sue Gold and Roger Thompson are running for the Position 4 seat; Tim Patterson and Al Cornell are vying for Ted Freeman's Position 5 seat.
All said they believe Port Manager Ted Fitzgerald has overcome many obstacles to get the port out of debt and the marina and docks restored after the 2011 tsunami.
"I originally got on the board eight years ago because of inequity issues and fiscal problems — we're talking big-time fiscal problems," Gold said. "We were $7.3 million in debt, had a line of credit of $300,000 in an interest-only loan. There was no light at the end of the tunnel."
Now debt is down to $5.6 million and three loans are paid.
Gold touts her experience as a math teacher — garnering her the nickname "Nickel-Nose" — for her skills in fiscal responsibility and accountability.
"You want representation from someone who has nothing to gain," she said. "That is me."
Thompson, with his background at the Brookings-Harbor Chamber of Commerce, believes the port needs to invest more in promotion.
"The crown jewel of Brookings is the port," he said. "Tourism would help the port along a lot."
Patterson said another way to make the port more profitable could be to convert the "gray ghost" building into a convention center.
"We should use that to the highest, best-use building we can ever achieve," he said. "It would bring in the most revenue for the least impact on residents. It could be the single-most important way to get money into Brookings from the outside world in the winter.
"It'll cost money, maybe $1 million, $1.5 million, but the port is in much better financial shape and I think it can be accomplished."
Patterson also supports the idea of annexing the port property into Brookings — an issue that momentarily got candidates talking about Harbor merging with Brookings.
"If you asked the people in Harbor if they'd annex, they'd say, 'No way in H,'" Cornell said. "Harbor should annex Brookings. Brookings is only here because the harbor is here and is the economic backbone of this area."
Patterson disagreed, noting that part of the port's job is to host community events — and the community is Brookings. Additionally, he said, if the May 21 levy fails, the port will need additional law enforcement protection that could better be provided by the city.
Gold said she's opposed to any annexation as well, and wants to continue working with Fitzgerald to finish repairs and make improvements to the port.
"He's done a wonderful job as manager," she said. "I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I could not, the first six or seven years."
Cornell agreed, saying Fitzgerald's "done a wonderful job at minimal expense. He's put the port back together. He's a lawyer — he speaks the language of the state and county. I couldn't see a better person on the job."
Harbor Sanitation
Two residents are vying for positions on the Harbor Sanitation District Board Position 1 seat.
VaConna Walters, the incumbent, has a background in health, and wants to be involved with the status of the area's sewer collection system.
"I'm here because I love people; I love my community," Walters said.
Challenger Tom McCormick said he became interested in the district after hearing about an embezzlement last fall.
"And I want to know why the rates went up," he said of Brookings' sewer rates increases that are passed on to Harbor residents for the service. "I want to help do whatever needs to be done. I'm here to help everyone else out."

Yellow Jacket Men's Basketball traveled to Greeley, Colorado last weekend to take on University of Northern Colorado a member of the Big Sky Conference.
In the first half University of Northern Colorado took advantage of some costly turnovers from the Yellow Jackets and carried that momentum into halftime taking a 50-27 lead. In the second half the Yellow Jackets weren't able to close the gap as University of Northern Colorado took the game 91-62. "We did a better job in the second half handling their pressure," said Head Coach Paul Sather.
The Yellow Jackets were led by sophomore Clay Pottorff with 17 points. Sophomore Luke Enos added 15 points and six rebounds. "University of Northern Colorado is a great team. It was good for our team to play this game and get better," said Coach Sather.
The Yellow Jackets will be back in action this Friday and Saturday night as they travel to Dakota Wesleyan University and Mount Marty College. This will be the opening weekend for the men after playing two exhibition games. Please check the schedule for exact game times and locations.

How to recover SD Card Formatted for Samsung Galaxy
I have a Samsung Galaxy i5700 android phone which came up with a 4GB Micro SD card. I have so many photos and music files on the card. However, the card is now re-formatted in my Samsung leaving me incapable of recovering any of those precious files. Now can I retrieve the files formatted from my Samsung?
Well, speaking from technical view a format option (quick format or complete) also won't erase the data on your SD card until new data occupy the space where those formatted data originally taken. That means you still have possibility to recover files from SD card. You can either rely on third-party photo recovery tools to get thing done and rescue your files easily by following the right steps.
- Step 1 – Please download Stellar Photo Recovery program and install it on your PC or Mac computer. Launch the software.
- Step 2 – Connect Samsung SD card to the computer via a USB cable or card reader.
- Step 3 – On the software, click Start to continue a scanning for the SD card to seek for the formatted files.
- Step 4 – When the process is complete, select the found files to preview or restore them to any other hard disk.
Note: in order to increase chances of recovery, you should immediately stop putting more data to the Samsung SD card, which means taking more photos or saving more files to it is not wise. Hope you good luck.

|Vandals stumble in road finale
LOGAN, Utah - The Idaho women's basketball team continued its trend of hot shooting, but Utah State scored 28 points off turnovers and 15 on the second-chance en route to an 85-63 Western Athletic Conference victory Saturday afternoon.
Idaho (9-19, 4-8 WAC) shot 40.1 percent from the field, going over its season average of 39.1 percent for the eighth time in its last 10 games. The Vandals also connected on 8-of-25 3-pointers in the game, with four of those coming from senior Keri Arendse, who finished with 14 points. However, Idaho gave the ball up 20 times, reaching or exceeding that mark for the third consecutive game. Idaho also gave up a 36-26 rebounding advantage to the Aggies.
Sophomore Alyssa Charlston led the Vandals with 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting in the game, and added a team-high eight rebounds. Freshman Stacey Barr also reached double figures in scoring with 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting from the field. Senior Adrie Shiels and freshman Tayler Weiks each added five points for the Vandals.
Idaho took and early 5-0 lead in the game, and held the advantage for the first eight and a half minutes. But the Aggies (18-8, 9-3 WAC) used a 12-0 run midway through the first half to take a lead they would not relinquish. The Vandals went into halftime trailing by six at 39-33, but Utah State opened the second half on a 12-2 run to pull ahead by 16 at 51-35 six minutes into the half, and Idaho was unable to close the gap to less than 15 points the rest of the way.
Idaho shot 75 percent from the free throw line, going 9-for-12, but Utah State scored 15 more points than the Vandals at the stripe, going 26-of-30. The Aggies gave up 16 turnovers in the game, which led to nine Idaho points. Utah State also outscored Idaho 28-18 in the paint.
Krissy Karr and Ganeaya Rogers each had three assists and two steals for Idaho, but combined to go just 2-of-15 from the field and commit eight turnovers while scoring three points each.
Five Aggie players scored in double figures, led by a game-high 26 points from Devyn Christensen. Ashlee Brown had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Jennifer Schlott and Brooke Jackson each scored 11 points, and Jenna Johnson added 10.
Utah State shot 49 percent in the contest, hitting 26-of-53 shots, including 7-of-15 -3 pointers.
Idaho will close out the season next week as it hosts San Jose State on March 1 and Hawai'i on March 3. The Vandals beat both teams on the road earlier this season.
Idaho is battling for position in the WAC tournament with Hawai'i, San Jose State and New Mexico State entering the final weekend of conference play. SJSU and UH entered Saturday tied for fourth place in the WAC standings with 5-9 league records, and New Mexico entered the day a game behind Idaho at 3-8 in the WAC.
The WAC tournament will take place March 7-10 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.

Mommar here.
So finally after 5| months after the cataclysm ended and the pandas invaded the last of my investments from cataclysm have been sold. Having dabbled in low blues, minerals, enchanting materials, a couple of Mechano-hogs and other odds and ends I finished forging, selling, repurposing and even some giving away to guildmates and friends of items I had saved for Mists of Pandaria.
After all the numbers are ground out including the giveaways I ended up with a profit range of around 55%. Not quite what I expected but enough to make it worth the investment. One thing I found that cannot be seen in the gross numbers is that I enjoyed searching, working on strategies and overall investing of my gold. Probably more enjoyment that I would have just from spending to buy items.
Some of the investments were disappointing including minerals. There was not as much surge in the minerals market from the start as I expected. Later on while the expansion was maturing sales began to pick up as there were less and less farmers looking at low level materials.
A lot of the 'blame' is laid at the feet of the BMAH. Players with large amounts of money were looking to save gold for the mounts they always wanted. While players just getting started were startled by the inflation on items as they were leveling. This had a wave effect causing players to maybe be less apt to buy items that would be quickly tossed away.
Some servers were much more healthy economy wise than others. The more players on the server the more inflation could be adjusted and controlled. And as with any Gold Goblin not all of my investments panned out. But overall I was happy with what occurred.
Soon it will be looking to invest for the 5.2 patch. We will be tackling that in the next week or so the more information that is released from players and the powers that be. I expect a lot of chances for making gold and to make that swimming pool of gold a lot bigger. Might need to build an extension on it soon.
Good Luck and Good Hunting

This question already has an answer here:
I recently purchased a 1 TB Seagate ST31000528AS drive and I have Windows 7 RC (build 7100 installed on it). I've noticed that whenever the computer is idling, the hard drive light tends to blink at a rate of about once per second. What are the possible reasons for this?
As far as I can tell there should be no disk activity (all non-essential services are switched off and if there's some amount of swapping going on, then I would assume the drive activity would be a little more erratic that that.
At the same time I've installed drive activity monitoring software but it doesn't blink at the rate of 1 per second. So I'm inclined to believe that there's really no read-write activity taking place.
Bottom line..what's with the blinking lights?

Would the Dell NIC with iSCSI be really too taxing on CPU cycles? This seems like the easiest route, as far as setting it up, and I know it will give me my file, but maybe really taxing on the hardware. I am really clueless about the alternate route, with Fibre Channel. Can that accomplish what I want? I don't get where people get their knowledge. Is it handed down through the IT generations like secret society-type stuff? I only ask because I can't seem to find any information on this. I have no problems understanding hardware, it's just the software side of things that menace my brain. I am racked because the cost of both is pretty equal, but I can't get into adventurism in seeing if one thing works, but then it doesn't. I don't pull much of an income, so I can't just go buying hardware left and right to play around with. I need a solution that I know will work.

MONTREAL -- Steven Stamkos absorbed the most contact he's taken during his recovery from a broken right tibia at Tampa Bay Lightning practice on Friday.
The Canadian Olympic team member said after the hour-long skate that he's not quite ready to proclaim his return to NHL game action, but he's getting closer.
"I feel good. It was a good practice [Friday]," Stamkos said after the Lightning skated at Bell Centre. "I got to participate in all the drills, do a little light contact. It's still not where I want it to feel but it's definitely getting better and it's progressing. I don't feel I'm where I need to be in order to play in a game yet but it's getting there."

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – An Oklahoma earthquake today 2014 has hit moments ago west of Medford. The Oklahoma earthquake today February 12, 2014 started within the last half hour and was located near the Kansas border.
USGS indicates to news that a 3.3 magnitude Oklahoma earthquake today started three miles below ground level just after 6:41 am local time. Because of its shallow depth, the quake impacted the immediate vicinity around the epicenter.
Officials tell news that the quake was eleven miles west of Medford. It was thirty-seven miles north of Enid and roughly forty-five miles west of Ponca City. It also started forty-six miles west of Arkansas City, Kansas .
Several Oklahoma earthquakes have been striking the same region in recent weeks. In December, one quake started sixteen miles south of McCord. The quake was seventeen miles south of Ponca City and twenty-three miles north of Stillwater. The quake was also forty-two miles south of Arkansas City, Kansas and seven two miles from Oklahoma City.
As well, in November a 3.0 magnitude quake struck west of Tulsa and Bixby. And in January last year a comparable quake began five miles north west of Jones. The quake was six miles east of Edmond and nine miles northwest of Choctaw.

Southwestern Heights has been one of the top teams in the area in all classes in volleyball. Julie Tucker's teams are 248-72 in nine years and the Mustangs were 38-3 last year. But they appear to be in rebuilding mode in 2012 as Liberal brushed aside Southwestern Heights (25-15, 25-18, 25-21) Tuesday night in the Big House. LHS head coach Thais Baziquetto-Allen says her team played well defensively but needs to improve offensively. Liberal plays at Garden City against Great Bend at 5 p.m. and GCHS at 6 p.m. Thursday night.

Health Tip: Applying Insect Repellent
Read the instructions carefully
Topics: Bites & Stings Kids: Misc Parenting
(HealthDay News) -- Insect repellent can help protect kids against the bites of disease-carrying pests, but parents should make sure it's applied properly.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these suggestions:
- Always read the product label and follow all instructions.
- Don't apply products containing permethrin directly to the skin.
- If using a spray repellent, do so in the open air to limit breathing in chemicals. Spray only enough repellent to cover the needed areas.
- Thoroughly wash the child's skin with soap and water to remove repellent when you and your child are back inside. Wash affected clothing before it's worn again.

Wife of Vt. man shot by police questions policyJanuary 15,2014BURLINGTON-The wife of a Burlington man who was fatally shot by police in November has implored the city and police department to review policies about responding to mental health crisis situations.
Barbara Brunette testified before the City Council on Monday that there's not enough help for the mental health community.
Brunette's husband, Wayne Brunette, who had a history of mental illness, was shot by police outside of his home on Nov. 6. Police responded to the home on a report that the 49-year-old Brunette was acting irrationally and destroying property. He was shot during a confrontation in which police said he was wielding a shovel. The two responding officers were cleared in December.
The Council is considering a resolution asking police to review mental health response procedures.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Dunne laid out a three-pronged approach to...

Ripin, Adnan and Abdul Mudalip, Siti Kholijah and Mohd. Yunus, Rosli (2008) Effects of ultrasonic waves on enhancement of relative volatilities in methanol-water mixtures. Jurnal Teknologi (48F). pp. 61-73. ISSN 0127-9696
Official URL: http://www.penerbit.utm.my/onlinejournal/48/F/JT48...
The application of ultrasonic wave in various fields including separation process has increased predominantly. This paper reports the practicability of using ultrasonic wave to enhance separation of binary mixtures by distillation. The binary mixture utilized was methanol-water. The effect of different ultrasonic intensity at 50, 100, 200 and 250 W/A.cm2 with frequency of 40 kHz to vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of methanol-water was investigated to obtain the most suitable operating intensity. Experimental studies were also carried out to investigate the frequency effect (25 and 68 kHz) to VLE data. It was found that the use of ultrasonic wave enhanced the separation process by increasing the relative volatility of components. The highest average relative volatility of methanol-water at 29.413 was obtained from experimental study using intensity 200 W/A.cm2 and frequency of 25 kHz. The changes in relative volatility and VLE were caused by cavitational activities and vacuum effect that occur during transmission of ultrasonic wave in liquid medium. The results from this study proved the practical feasibility of using ultrasonic wave to enhance separation of binary mixtures in distillation column.

The Spin Crowd
This weekend I picked up a pack of Spin Pins and got right to working out all the different creations I could twist my hair into using their unique corkscrew design. Within seconds I was in love. The hype about how well they manage hair is all true. I have very thick hair, and with just two little pins, my hair stays in the tightest of professional ballet buns. Normally, this would take a hair net and about 30 bobby pins (if you have ever done ballet, you understand what I am talking about).
My favorite look so far is a low messy bun. This style takes only seconds and it looks amazing! I have layered bangs and very straight hair so I like to start by blowdrying my bangs and the ends of my hair. I then wrap my hair into a tight bun just above the nape of my neck and twist two pins into place. The tight bun insures that the pins will stay put for hours while allowing the bun to gently fall loose in a natural, beachy manner. I then finish the look by wrapping my bangs and other loose tendrels around a hot curling iron for about 30 seconds to create soft, carefree waves. The best part about this style is there are no hair elastics, allowing a more freestyle, flowing look, and one with no headache caused by tight elastics and stabbing pins. What's not to love?!

The creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen has reportedly removed the game from all app stores after receiving an overwhelming amount of criticism over the game.
Although the game was said to be making approximately $50,000 in revenue per day, Nguyen said that it had in fact ruined his life after receiving too much attention.
While Flappy Bird has made Nguyen millions in profit, he still has other games that are ranked high among others in app stores including Shuriken Block and Super Ball Juggling.
Nguyen chose his own sanity over the game according Forbes, and he plans to continue making other games without having to deal with the headache from Flappy Bird.
Despite the recent uproar involving the game, after his announcement that the game would be taken down Nguyen saw an increase in downloads up until it was removed.

It's true, really it is. And why wouldn't she? … They have so much in common. Even their differences are pretty similar. Both are involved with some symbolic firsts. Obama is Americas first black president, Julia is Australia's first female prime minister. For America it was actually meaningful before it became a disaster. For Australia it was disaster from the start.
Obama's race and Julia's gender are often mentioned in their defense. A very small amount of the criticism directed at Obama appears to be racially based, most of it however describes what he has done (badly). None of the criticism towards Julia is actually gender based, it also describes what she has done (badly).
So in other words they've both proved to be as, (if not more ) incompetent as most of their predecessors. You could say it completely proves that race and gender mean nothing in politics although that was already proven at different levels long before these two came along.
Neither know how to show the appropriate respect, while most Americans salute their flag and hold their hand over their heart Obama just stands there with his hands over his crotch….. He did bow to a Saudi prince though.
Julia failed to show the appropriate respect to Queen Elizabeth during the sovereigns visit to Australia. She even tried to out dress her Majesty but failed. Julia's performance was to demonstrate her republican views.
Queen Elizabeth II is the actual head of state in Australia. The Queen does not actually exercise any powers in Australia and is represented by the governor-general who acts in accordance with the Australian constitution as opposed to accepting direction from the Queen but regardless of this this she is the head of state. This relationship served Australia well in 1975.
A referendum in 1999 confirmed this. Australia wanted to keep the Queen as head of state and Julia is obliged to accept this if she is representing the Australian people. So with that in mind she should keep her republican leanings private while officially greeting the Queen on behalf of Australia.
And where Obama's lack of respect caused outrage in America Julia's little rebellion t didn't come across as great or daring action, if anything she looked like a petulant child trying to show off.
One disaster they also have in common is they ran their predecessors debts up to even more disastrous levels. Within 3 years Obama ran the US debt up by nearly 50% and had to go to congress to allow the debt ceiling to be raised so he could borrow more just to keep America running.
Julia just keeps borrowing to the tune of $100 million per day although at one point she ran up a debt of around $76 billion in 6 months.
Obama is not willing to cut any of his social programs to save money. He just wants to tax, tax, tax ….oh and …"tax the rich".
Julia has cut a lot of social programs and she also wants to tax the rich. In fact she wants to tax everyone and everything.
Both are unpopular with their electorates. Obama was initially popular but when he put in place the usual left wing ideology spin approach to government he became more and more unpopular.Would it be cynical to suggest that the upcoming love-fest between the 2 in Canberra is mainly a stage managed propaganda exercise designed to distract from and replace the media reporting of the realities of their policies for the voters on 2 continents. Substitute the very damaging with the stage managed photo -ops?
Julia was pretty much unwanted from the start. Her mummy and daddy had to come and ask everyone to play nice with her. http://www.news.com.au/top-stories/julia-gillards-parents-plea-for-nation-to-support-pm/story-e6frfkp9-1226148791304
Both have taken advantage of the good nature inherent in many people by pushing their climate change scams. Many people do want to believe that our leaders are acting in our best interests and people know the environment does need to be cared for. Some may believe that it's better to do something, even if it's useless, to highlight the real problems of the environment.
Obama tried to do something but had to abandon it due to intense opposition from his own side as well as insane cost.
Gillard isof course going ahead regardless of cost or damage to the country.
If anything these two are bad for the environment. Nothing they've proposed seems to be effective and is only there to make money.
So the main things they have that are 100% in common is they are both tearing through large sums of money that is not theirs in the name of their symbolic approaches to government and disdain for the people they are supposed to serve.
No prior leaders in Australia or the USA have behaved so badly.
Julia and Obama are definitely two peas in a pod.
And they are well past their use by date.
You can tell this readily by how much on the nose they are.

SLW makes a higher percentage on its gold and silver streams when the metals go down..... They get a discount of 5.90 to the spot price for silver on one of their deals with HBM and a $400 dollar discount on Gold off of spot price at the time of the transaction.... The more of these deals they have in place the better.... they are royalties...not hedges.... The only down side I see from the price drop is their reserve of over a billion silver ounces... But lets face it the slide is in the paper market not the physical. You still have to pay 29 nuicks an ounce to buy the physical for most bullion that is not so;d out right now. Also the central bank keeps buying for some reason.....
Legitimate business model question, as long as this MB is on the subject.
What happens to SLWs discounted gold & silver if originally estimated production falls off a cliff due to depressed spot prices below cost to produce? What happens if the miner that entered into an SLW agreement goes belly up? Is SLW "at the front of the line" when creditors divi up the assets?
Just wondering!
We seem to be in a repeat of late 2008, but this time the economic destruction in the financial industry is much greater. The unfunded bankster liabilities (derivatives) have not disappeared since the thinking in the banking cartel still appears to be that all losses will be socialized (taxpayer pays the "too big to fail"). Back then SLW nearly went into bankruptcy. Of course nothing could please the banking cartel more than to have it actually happen whilst lining their vaults with gold and silver as first claimants to the assets. A hint that this could happen is that currently many bullion vendors are reporting long delays in filling orders, which makes no sense in what could be termed a "buyers market".
Here we have been very cautious about making any investment commitment in SLW as it has appeared too overbought. But if a really rough spots happens in the future before PMs recover and SLW makes it through that would be the time to buy. It never seems to be a good idea to buy before the bottom is actually in, which many by their remarks on this m/b seem prone to do.
"...the central bank keeps buying for some reason..."
You don't seem to understand that there is a limit to the level of theft taking place by central banks. Manipulation is a type of theft. When theft is enormous enough it will steal, literally, all the prosperity of everyone but those connected to the theft.
Since this downturn has taken on full force on Friday, 4/12/13, it is assumed that all involved in the manipulation garnered a large gain in their net worth on commodities that were meant as a medium of exchange. There is coming a time when this wealth transfer will become so egregious that it will lead to civil disorder. Greece and Cyprus are but recent examples. This sort of wealth transfer is not sustainable. When people get mad enough they will revolt. That possibility has to be changed, but the only way to do that is to return to honest money. EVERYBODY loses when revolt becomes reality, and the result can be much worse than changes everyone can agree on, and not just the financial elite.
And, by the way, if you are suggesting that those who follow your discussion go out and buy physical, just try it. It looks suspiciously like the central banks are acquiring all of it because most websites are stating long delays for everyone else. How much sense does that make? If people are selling out to the degree that this downturn represents there should be plenty of supply to those who want to jump in at these levels, except for the fact that it apparently isn't reserved for them.
YOu are spot on
So go live in a cave with Glenn Beck and make up stories about evil forces stealing your soul & wealth. Eat plenty of Glenn's survival tinned baked beans. Then you can created flatulence from two orifices at the same time.
Nonsense. They get discounted price (not a discount to the spot) of $5.90 and $400. What are you smoking?
"HudBay agreed on a long-term contract that will supply Silver Wheaton 100% of HudBay's Constancia and 777 mine silver at a discounted price of $5.90 an ounce, as well as 100% of the gold production at its 777 mine at a discounted price of $400 an ounce until at least 2016."

Hey everyone! How's your holiday season going? Got your fingers crossed for that obnoxiously pink cocktail ring? Maybe you're hinting 'til it hurts for those must-have heels? ...or maybe all you want for Christmahanakwanzika is to be able to pay the rent. Buy propane to heat your home. Feed your children.
We sometimes forget that there are people all around us who aren't doing so hot. Who have lost their jobs or can't find jobs, who are struggling to keep it together each and every day or who have responsibilities that would make the Average Jo collapse into her scuffed Nine West heels (duh, Average Jo doesn't own Louboutins.)
Our favorite drunken-hippie-asian-Suri-and-Britney-lovin' mom, Modg, has set up Operation WANA on her blog. We could go into how and why, but we'd rather focus on WHAT...and have you join in. Basically, check out the comments, find someone who's in need, and help that person. Yeah, we know, you don't have any extra cash - but check anyway. Maybe you have something you're not using that they need. Maybe you have a job lead or you have a skill that could come in handy to someone else. At least check. But we warn you, get a hankie ready...these comments will make you WEEP.
Hate people, but want to help in your own Scroog-y way? Buy Operation WANA swag on Zazzle. All proceeds are going to help people.
Ok, this site is seriously addicting! I have spent 2 hours reading through all the people in need and I helped a few of them. And now all I can think about is trying to help all of them! And I really dont have any more spare cash to give! Aagghhh! But thank you, for showing me this, I feel so much better now that I've had a chance to help a few families out! I have been in a depressed mood lately, as my husband is on his 4th deployment and is again, gone for the holidays. But this site seriously brought me out of my funk! Helping others always makes me feel wonderful!

Since I live and work in Des Moines, my primary focus is on developing lacrosse in the city and is suburbs. My organization is the Central Iowa Lacrosse Association to reflect this commitment. But as we continue to grow here, I cannot help but feel responsible for the growth (or lack thereof) in other parts of the state.
When I joined Lacrosse All Stars, it wasn't just to get good deals on lacrosse equipment. Nor was it to get the inside track on sweet swag via The Lacrosse Shop. Sure those are sweet perks, but my real motivation was to expand my mission from developing lacrosse in Des Moines to expanding lacrosse around the state, hence naming this blog "Lacrosse Iowa."
I am happy to report that this decision is starting to pay dividends. Sort of. Last weekend I was contacted by parties in the Waterloo and Cedar Rapids metros. These are two good sized metros about two hours northeast and and hour and due east of Des Moines, respectively. The former currently suffers from a lack of organized lacrosse while the latter has two MCLA teams in the greater metro area: the University of Iowa and Cornell College.
After I received these emails, I realized that the Central Iowa Lacrosse Association website lacked information about anything outside of Des Moines. The old website included contact information for individuals in other Iowa cities. Links to nearby MCLA teams were also included. Unfortunately I simply had not gotten around to adding that information to the new site.
That has now changed. An Around the State page has now been added, complete with its own contact box. A direct link will take Dubuque area residents straight to their lacrosse program's website. The College section includes direct links to all of the known NCAA, MCLA, and club lacrosse programs around Iowa. Most recently, I have added an official contact for the Quad Cities.
Des Moines
If you have read this blog at all in the past month, then you are well aware that the Central Iowa Lacrosse Association's 2012 Youth Lacrosse Program is currently underway. A dozen girls and over 80 boys are participating this summer from across the metro and beyond. Registration remains open for the girls and we just opened a handful of additional slots for boys. This is a huge step up from last summer's 40 boys and zero girls.
Sure the games are six on six instead of traditional full field lacrosse, but that was done to give each player more touches and less standing around. It also helps the boys learn how to play both sides of the field and to transition between them. The absence of long poles requires to learn positioning and footwork instead of falling back on the stick (it also helps ease the transition game). As the boys move onto high school some will transition to poles. It is an experiment, but it is also an exercise is using the tools we already have.
The hope is that the majority of the summer league participants will continue laxing. Last year roughly 70 percent of the then-eighth graders joined the Valley team their freshman year. If that number holds true consistently, then the city will need additional high school teams sooner rather than later…
One unfortunate side affect of our new youth program was the elimination of the adult Summer Lacrosse League. Granted, there were other factors that influenced our decision to put that league on hiatus. When our plan to hold bi-weekly pickup games went over less than favorably, we opted to keep our attention on the youth program.
Members of the Iowa State team opted to bring their goals to Des Moines in the hopes of starting a new adult league. They are now hosting weekly games — pickup games. Although I have not participated due to time issues, from what I gather things are going well and the turnout has been decent.
Elsewhere in the city, efforts are underway to start a new lacrosse program for underprivileged youth. The group leading the charge have experience bringing sports to areas like this. More importantly, they have lacrosse experience. While I am not directly involved in the effort, I am committed to helping them however I can.
Other developments are current in the pipeline for lacrosse in Des Moines. We should have our fourth season of box lacrosse this winter and Valley will be back next spring. Next summer we hope to expand our youth lacrosse program once again with extra attention towards beefing up the girls side. Stay tuned over the next few days for development news in other parts of the state.

Christiana Care Rehabilitation
LSVT BIG for Parkinson's Disease
LSVT BIG therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease to improve their movement. This technique often yields measurable results within the first hour of treatment, and over time it not only helps patients to improve their movement; it also helps them to build confidence in themselves.
Adapted from the principles behind the successful Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, LSVT BIG therapy includes repetitive, exaggerated movements that increase dopamine production in the brain and recalibrate muscle function. This helps to counteract the slow movement—bradykinesia—that is one of the main motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
BIG therapy can also benefit patients whose motor function has been affected by other conditions, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
For best results, LSVT BIG should be incorporated into treatment at the time of diagnosis, instead of waiting until loss of function becomes pronounced.
To schedule an appointment or learn more, find the location nearest you.

Season 2 premiere date: February 14, 2014 on Netflix
Even our Commander-in-chief appreciates a little extra drama outside the realms of the menagerie of nonsense that goes on, on Capital Hill. One of Netflix's most highly rated series 'House of Cards' began its second season on February 14, 2014. 'House of Cards' stars Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey and Golden Globe winner Robin Wright who play Congressman Frank Underwood and wife Claire. The cunning couple love to play dirty politics while doling out revenge in spades.
So since the President prefers to read spoiler free news about the show or in case he has not seen the 2nd season opener just yet, here is a quick rundown:
It would appear that Frank Underwood's complex revenge scheme was all a ruse to become the Vice President. Frank is warned that Zoe/Janine is on to his involvement in Rep. Russo's murder, but Frank assures Stamper he will handle Zoe. That is scary. Frank befriends Rep. Jackie Sharp, an attractive young congresswoman that he bound to use as a tool for his mischief. Never agree to clandestine meetings near railroad tracks. Let that be a lesson to you, Zoe. Frank, you are a man of your word, eh?
Netflix and other on-demand internet streaming media providers are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to series and movie viewing. Time will only tell how many more consumers will select this option once the honeymoon is over after the marriage between Comcast and Time Warner takes place. Even AMC's 'The Killing' has found new life over at Netflix, if only for a season (season 4).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Look up the wiring for a series/parallel switch used on big rigs (trucks). 12 volts to run all the trucks accessories except the starter, which is 24 volt and activated by a solenoid that changes two banks paralleled to series (and it doesn't mess up the rest of the system)
24 volts are better than 12 volts because...
24 volt is better than 12 volts, because the wiring is cheaper and you don't spend as much money heating wires. These engines have onboard computers and electronic injection. The engines use 12 volts to run, and won't run without it. I consider this the simplest approach, actually. I would make the whole boat 24 volt, if only the engines came with a 24 volt option.
And, I am having no trouble finding 24volt gear, except for 2 or 3 low draw electronic items, which I will power with a DC to DC converter, which costs about $85.
As far as I am concerned, 12 volt systems are an obsolete relic of the days when boats had much, much less electrical gear. Just price the cables to run a big electric anchor windlass with 12 volts versus 24 volts, and you will see my point. I'd go with manual, but this is a 65' boat we are talking about, and it will operate in coral waters, where a rope-chain rode isn't a practical option.
And, if it so common to do this, why can't I find one lousy wiring diagram for the idea?
I am designing my own boat, as I have been an amateur designer since the days of planimeters, splines, and French curves. I had a bad experience in 1971 sailing from Hawaii to Seattle, and decided to learn yacht design in self-defense. The construction method will be modified Kelsall, with a radius chine design. The radius chine will have a 2' diameter throughout, hand laid up, with the rest of the boat made by resin infusion on a flat table.
|To me...makes absolutely no sense...
A lot of stinkpots use two DC systems as some of the bigger engines use 36 or 48 VDC for starting their very large engines...
My questions is "Why do you want to run both 12 and 24 VDC?" It seems like you're just going to complicate your life doing that.... Unless you have a specific need, it would seem to be a much better idea to me to keep the boat as simple as possible.
Also, you don't say where you are located... but in the US, the number of 24 VDC accessories isn't all that high, since 24 VDC systems are more common in other parts of the world AFAIK.
BTW, another multihull sailor is always welcome to sailnet. BTW, what design is the cat going to be and what construction method are you using to build it?
|Quite a lot of stink-pots use both 24V and 12V systems. So I don't think it's unusual.
12v system and 24v system on 1 boat at same time?
I am building a sailing catamaran which I intend to power with two Yanmar 6BY260 engines, which come with only a 12 volt systems. These engines are the new type 2 low emission engines which use computers to reduce fuel consumption and pollution. I want to run a 24 volt boat, and my question is, has anybody ever run a boat with two different dc voltage systems? I would just add a 24 volt alternator to each engine, and set up separate systems for 12 and 24 volts.
I can't find any reference to this idea anywhere. Everybody seems to go with a 12 volt system and a 120 or 240 AC system. I have no desire for an AC system, even though everyone else seems to want one on any boat bigger than a daysailer these days. Can/should a 12 volt system and a 24 volt system share a ground? Are there any other issues I should be concerned about?

I can sum up $\sum\lfloor ia/b\rfloor$ (for $i$ from $1$ till $N$) by counting lattice points in a right triangle. This sum can be computed recursively in $O(\log(\max(N,a,b)))$ time.

Still popularly known as marguerites, or Paris daisy if white, argyranthemums have become very popular for summer colour. Once available only as a single white daisy, the basic marguerite has been bred into a wide range of hybrids, including 'Vancouver', a double pink variety with anemone centres. It is a perennial and can be perpetuated from cuttings just like a pelargonium or fuchsia. With careful training, a straight cutting can be trained into an impressive standard, the perfect way to display the flowering plant in a container or the centre of a bed. Now properly listed as Argyranthemum 'Vancouver'. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Spoilers below for Time Traveller section. Really need some help:
UPDATE: I managed to move the rock…but crazy things happen with it. It moves on its own and it shakes. But it will not move to where I need it to be….
ORIGINAL POST: I am in the early section of the Time Traveller part of the cave. I am in the past and need to move the block over the leaking water in order to prevent the stalactites from forming. However at some point I must have pushed the block to the far left up against the wall. It is now impossible to move. Everytime I left-click on the block the Time Traveller grabs it but then instantly lets go.
Also I can't get on the right side of the block as it is up against the wall.
So now I have no way to continue. Any suggestions?

This is an unusual, low, spreading, bushy plant, grown mainly for its colourful foliage which is like that of celery, but with cream and pink edges. The flowers resemble those of wild cow parsley the large heads of tiny blooms, off-white and individually insignificant, appear spasmodically through the summer. It is a very useful plant for giving background to a shady, damp border where other few plants thrive well. In a sunny wet border, grow it as ground cover beneath tall sun-loving plants.

Should come with a health warning! 'Fast growing' doesn't begin to describe this. Yes, it's very pretty and in a 3" pot, it looks very delicate -a little like maidenhair fern. In reality it's a triffid in disguise - don't turn your back on it.

Daddy says he only fed the baby and put him down to sleep. So the baby somehow killed himself--at 3 months?--from blunt force trauma to the head?
Dad is identified as LUC WESTFALL.
Dad faces judge in child's death
Updated: Sunday, 24 Mar 2013, 6:03 PM MDT
Published : Sunday, 24 Mar 2013, 6:03 PM MDT

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - An Albuquerque father is facing charges for the death of his 4-month-old baby after OMI ruled the baby's death was homicide.
Luc Westfall faced a judge Sunday on a child abuse result in death charge.
In October, Westfall called 911 to the family's apartment on Morris Street northeast, saying his son was not breathing and limp.
Medics rushed the baby to the hospital where he later died.
The Office the Medical Investigator recently ruled the baby died from blunt force trauma to the head, just hours before the call for help was made.
Westfall claims he had just fed the baby and put him down to sleep.
In court Sunday Westfall tried to get his bond lowered.
"Yes, there's no way I could get my bond lower a little bit?
No sir - not based on the allegations and based on your criminal history," Judge Henry Alaniz said.
Westfall is still in jail on a $150,000 cash or surety bond.

Anna Faris showed up wearing hot pants that were not short as she walked the Nokia Theatre LA Live red carpet for the People's Choice Awards (PCA). To be sure, with camera's flashing shots of the "Mom" star while she sauntered this sartorial runway, Chris Pratt's wife was quite a sight in her sparkling ensemble that featured what seemed like see-through slacks with hemlines that brushed the ground.
According to E!, Anna Faris had on a beaded outfit by Naeem Khan that was chosen for the actress by stylists to the stars Wendi and Nicole Ferreira.
Wendi told the entertainment site, "...from the minute we had it on the rack, we were like, 'That is the look for her.' It was the first thing she tried on!"
What Anna Faris tried on were pants and a top that rocked an iridescent hue. Nicole Ferreira said the number looked that way because it was made of white fabric with a pinky nude lining.
And so, as she walked with her hunky husband Chris Pratt by her side, Anna Faris' pants were on fire on the Nokia Theatre LA Live red carpet for PCA 2014.
Not only that but this blonde beauty was the toast of the evening, making many best dressed lists along with women who wore more traditional ensembles that included skirts instead of pants. For sure, this was a sartorial score for the "Mom" actress. Congratulations Anna Faris!
