This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Did you know that one in every three bites of food we eat, from vegetables and fruits to seeds and nuts, is the result of pollination? Pollination is the transfer of genetic material between plants, and can be enabled by wind, gravity, or by animals such as insects, birds and bats. Nearly three-quarters of flowering plants rely on animal pollinators to develop seeds and fruits. However many pollinators, including bees, butterflies and bats, have fallen on tough times and need our help. In 2007 the U.S. Senate designated a week in June as "National Pollinator Week" to highlight the seriousness of declining pollinator populations. Scientists have noticed, for instance, that the number of monarch butterflies has dropped steeply in recent years. An article by Michael Wines in the January 29, 2014 New York Times stated that "…the yearly winter migration of monarch butterflies…dwindled precipitously in December…."
You can attract pollinators to your garden by eliminating lawns, planting a variety of nectar-producing plants (especially natives), providing water, and avoiding pesticides.
To find books in the library on attracting pollinators to your garden, look under the subject headings: Gardening to Attract Wildlife, Butterfly Gardening, Gardening to Attract Birds, and Native Plant Gardening California.

Secrets of Success
Friday, January 03, 2014
I was just about to turn my computer off and get another cup of coffee (since it is 6 am and I have been awake since 5 am) when I wanted to mention Calmness.
I was super duper worried about starting my new job yesterday - for you see, we are in blizzard mode here on LI and I now have to commute 20 minutes, and I have no key for the building I am going in to, and I don't know where I can eat, or if I can get anything quick to eat if I am late, or if I should wear boots to work and bring a change of shoes, and what if the facility closes - am I in the loop? - do I look nice enough - should I layer up because is the place a hot or cold environment; is my boss going to be there when I am, who do I check in with if he is not; did I make the right decision to leave my previous field, are the kids going to be ok with me getting home at 6pm everyday instead of the stupid flextimes, will they understand the whole 9-5 thing, wil they miss me - will I be missing things too much - can I handle the change myself?
These were my worries and fears I was vocalizing - because I needed to vent them out and I thought talking would keep the family on the same page.....and then I got yelled at by my husband at dinner for going on and on about my worrying (he never yells btw - so I knew I had pushed him over his limit of my worrying) - - - - - Don't be mad at him here either people. It takes a lot for him to raise his voice and if you knew what this gem of a guy does every single day, trust me, I realize that I was totally losing my mind and venting aloud tooooo much at this point.
In hidesight - I probably should have blogged it all out when I started feeling anxious - but I had a stomach bug for a whole week, and that wasn't helping anything out either...I was worried I was going to be heading to work, in a blizzard, wearing Depends!
Anyway - instead of self defense/knee jerk reaction of yelling back....I got up and left the table.
I went and I took a well needed shower.
I shaved my legs.
I washed my face and scrubbed all the dry skin off of my body.
I thought about what he said about worrying.
And then..... I stopped.
There is an two word meaning of life phrase I just read "RESIST NOTHING" and it was attached to a little internet card of wisdom basically stating that if you open yourself up to things as they unfold - you will learn and be open to new things.
This little gem of philosophy has been bopping around in my head for daaaaays.
In other words: GO with the FLOW.
I tend not to when I am worried. In fact, I get more worried, high strung, cannot sleep, etc. etc. and things always kinda go the way they unfold - no matter how hard I try to control them to fit my pseudo-anal retentive behavior. The one thing I don't do now is eat...which, with that outlet gone...what do you do? and I am sure as heck not in an exercise phase right now...and I haven't talked to or hung out with friends lately because of the holidays and illness...so I bottle it up in anxiety ridden self-inflicted nonsense!
Heck: my new boss texted me after I got the job and said two words: Breathe....relax.
My after shower calmness was weird - was necessary - was me tackling a self-inflicted problem head on with a change in thinking.
Do whatever you can to prep - as best as you can.
You will get where you need to go...and when you get there... you go with the flow.
I was never ever ever worried about actually doing this job. That I know I can do.
I was never ever ever worried about meeting new people. That I know I can do.
I was never ever ever worried about fitting in. That I know I can do. (and if I don't - I know I can fit-out and stand on my own 2 feet just fine - in fact, fitting-out is more appealing to me).
I was worried about "the future"...and the future is something I have no tactile control over - never had, never will. But my own actions are what will dictate the present at hand...and that, my friends, was what I was not handling very well... and in being a nutjob, I was actually MISSING the present at hand.
I don't have 3 part time jobs anymore. I have 1 full time job with my own little thing on the side...that I can give up if I want to or need to. THAT is CALMing in and of itself.
It took finally going to work to make me see that I am part of a new thing. That my contributions will be mattering somewhere new. Again....CALMing.
AND I am not responsible for the end all/be all at this place either. Not one iota. That is a new thing for me to grasp. Again....CALMing.
I am going to try and ride this wave of calmness into the next few days with my family and kids and hopefully into the next few weeks of training...to go with the flow and have some fun with it even.
Maybe that feeling of calmness was overdue the long hot shower was just what the doctor ordered....but it's a difficult thing, as the old phrase goes, to "doctor, heal thyself."

I had to go to yoga last night to acheive SOME sense of calmness.
I'm still running my boss' business and I really didn't want to be anymore! I have to remind myself every morning: deal with it when it arises.

Each year, Washington D.C. hosts a major Independence Day celebration known as "A Capitol Fourth," which viewers around the country are able to watch on PBS stations on July 4 at 8pm. Broadway will have a voice during this year's festivities, as several Broadway performers have been invited to participate in the event.
Cast members from this season's nostalgic hit Motown the Musical are scheduled to perform on "A Capitol Fourth" next month. So are Megan Hilty (Wicked, TV's Smash), Darren Criss (How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, TV's Glee), and Barry Manilow, who did a series of concerts on Broadway this past season.
The 90-minute show, which will be aired live from the lawn of the U.S. Capitol, will also include The National Symphony Orchestra, John Williams, Jackie Evancho, and American Idol's Scotty McCreery. Several armed forces groups, such as The U.S. Army Hearld Trumpets and the U.S. Air Force Ceremonial Band, will also participate.

Tues., April 4 #5 Arizona State 6 p.m. Fri., April 7 #4 California 6 p.m. Sat. April 8 #8 Stanford 6 p.m. Sun., April 9 #8 Stanford 1 p.mThis Week:
The second-ranked Arizona softball team (39-3 overall, 3-0 Pac-10) continues its Pac-10 homestand against No. 5 Arizona State (34-6, 2-1), Tues., April 4 at 6 p.m. The Sun Devils opened Pac-10 play last weekend with a 6-1 win over Oregon State and a split with Oregon. The Cats will also play host to No. 4 California (38-9, 2-3), Fri., April 7 and No. 8 Stanford (30-7, 1-4), Sat., April 8 at 6 p.m. and Sun., April 9 at 1 p.m. The Golden Bears shutout top-ranked Washington last weekend, 2-0, before losing the second game to the Huskies, 10-1. The Cardinal lost to Washington, 6-0, and was swept by UCLA, 1-0 and 8-0.
New Pac-10 Format
The league voted in the off-season to drop the 28-game home-and-home doubleheader series which had been in effect since the early 1990s and move instead to a 21-game schedule featuring single games. Each Pac-10 team will face each other a total of three times on the season.
Last Week: Arizona suffered just its third loss of the season and its first to a team other than Washington last Tuesday. In the first game of a doubleheader with New Mexico State, the Roadrunners managed just three hits off UA pitcher Becky Lemke, but one of those hits turned out to be the winning home run by Adrian Nobles in the top of the sixth inning as NMSU upset the Cats, 2-1. Lemke struck out ten batters in the loss. Arizona rebounded in the second game for a 7-1 win behind nine hits, including a two-run homer by Lindsey Collins and a three-run homer by Chrissy Gil. UA pitcher Jennie Finch struck out 11 and allowed just four hits in the win. The Cats then swept through the first weekend of Pac-10 play with a 3-2 extra innings victory over No. 23 Oregon followed by a sweep of No. 11 Oregon State. Alison Andrade singled in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth against the Ducks. Lemke struck out 11 and allowed only two hits in the victory. Jennie Finch allowed just four hits in the Cats' 11-0 victory over Oregon State on Saturday, which was fueled by an eight-run third inning. The Cats then took advantage of three Beaver errors in scoring all their runs in a 4-1 victory over OSU on Sunday. The Beavers took a 1-0 lead in the second on an RBI single by Shawna Feldt, but the Cats came back with the go-ahead runs in the fifth to go undefeated on opening weekend of Pac-10 play.
National Fastpitch Coaches Association Poll
Arizona was ranked second and received five first-place votes in last week's NFCA coaches poll released Wed., March 29. Pac-10 schools occupy the top five spots in the rankings and all eight teams are ranked. Washington is No. 1 followed by Arizona, UCLA, Cal and ASU. The poll is available online at www.nfca.org. Arizona has been in the national rankings every single period since 1990.
Pac-10 Preseason Poll
UCLA was picked to finish first in the conference by the coaches in their preseason poll. The Bruins received 47 points, including five first-place votes, while Washington picked up three first-place nods to go with 44 total points. Arizona was projected to finish third and received 38 points. The Cats were followed by Arizona State, Stanford, Oregon State, California and Oregon.
Swinging for the Fences
This Arizona squad has upheld the Wildcat tradition of socking balls out of the yard as seven Cats have hit the long ball this season. Jennie Finch leads the team with 14 home runs, while Lindsey Collins (10) is second on the team. Alison Andrade (6), Toni Mascarenas (3), Chrissy Gil (4), Lauren Bauer (2) and Nicole Giordano (1) have each joined the fun for a team total of 40.
Seeing Double...
Toni Mascarenas hit four consecutive doubles during the Hillenbrand Classic earlier this month, including three against Indiana. She finished with six doubles in five games and has nine on the season. However, Alison Andrade still leads the team with 12 doubles and five Cats have nine doubles each. The Cats have a team total of 68 doubles on the season.
Notes from Left Field
In 42 games, the Wildcats have 405 hits for a team batting average of .365 and have outscored the opposition, 292-30... Arizona is 3-0 in extra-inning games this season, with a pair of eight-inning victories over Hawaii and Oregon and a ten-inning win over Fresno State... Junior Nicole Giordano leads the team with a .479 average with a team-high 67 hits and 37 runs scored... Senior Chrissy Gil has as many triples as home runs (4 each) and has nearly as many runs (32) as hits (39)...
Armed and Dangerous
Arizona's pitchers have dominated the opposition in recent years and this season is no exception... Junior Becky Lemke and sophomore Jennie Finch have combined to allow just 23 earned runs in 263 innings spanning 42 games...They have combined to pitch four no-hitters on the season (two apiece). The last time a pair of Arizona pitchers threw no-hitters in the same season was when Carrie Dolan and Nancy Evans each threw two during the 1995 season... Finch has an ERA of 0.45, while Lemke has a 0.73 ERA... Lemke struck out a school-record 19 batters in recording her second no-hitter of the season on March 11 against BYU... Lemke has 216 strikeouts on the season to give her 614 for her career. She remains third on the all-time list behind Evans (733)... They have a combined 348 strikeouts (including two by Teresa Ayoub). The single-season team record is 451... Lemke is fourth on the UA all-time victories list with a 75-13 record in two-and-a-half seasons... Only two teams have managed more than two runs off either of them. Finch gave up three runs to Notre Dame in the semifinals of the Kia Klassic and Lemke allowed six runs in the championship game loss to Washington...
Do Unto Others...
Jennie Finch has managed to do to opposing pitchers what opposing batters have been unable to do to her - get big hits. Finch leads the team with 14 home runs and has 42 RBI... Add that to her pitching totals and she does pretty much everything but sweep the infield between games... She threw two no-hitters within a week of each other (vs. Tennessee Tech on 2/18 and vs. Drake on 2/25) and the latter was her first career perfect game... She also has three one-hitters on the season.
Pac-10 Weekly Honors
Finch was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week for Feb. 23-29 for her performance at the Bama Bash. It was her second honor of the year. She was also named the Player of the Week Feb. 29 after hitting .643 (9-for-14), including 12 RBI, four home runs, and nine runs scored at the Wildcat Invitational... Additionally, Becky Lemke won Pitcher of the Week honors Feb. 15 for her performance at the Fiesta Bowl Classic, where she had a 3-0 decision over then-No. 3 Fresno State.
Arizona Coach Mike Candrea
In his 15th season at Arizona, Candrea carries a record of 766-160 (.826). He is the active and all-time winningest Division I coach by percentage and in the top 10 in victories. Last season, Candrea became the eighth Division I coach in history to win 700 games. His players have earned 49 All-America honors and six Academic All-America honors, plus he has coached three players to the Honda Softball Award as national player of the year. He has taken the Wildcats to the College World Series the past 12 consecutive years and has reached the NCAA Championship game in eight of the last 10 seasons.

Bungie has held Destiny information tight to its chest since the Moon reveal last October. A new update for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 sci-fi shooter was provided Friday where the developer cryptically teased possible beta release information as well as provided an answer on if streaming will be allowed during the testing phase.
Community Manager David Gague wrote how game designer Like Smith told him, "This is my favorite part. These next eight weeks are where it all comes together."
Gague later continued with,"This great time of reckoning will not be the end of our journey. If you're thinking you're two months from seeing this game on your shelf, I'm still here to ask you to put on the brakes. The next phase awaits, in which you'll be invited to launch head-long into the world we've constructed, like a test pilot clad in exotic armor."
While it is unclear if this means the Destiny beta will be launching around the end of April or beginning of May, it is clear that Bungie has a major milestone set for that time. The references to the "next phase" along with "invite and "test pilot" would seem to suggest something beta related though. It is entirely possible that this is when beta invites will go out with the actual start of the test period closer to September 9 release date.
One thing is for sure though, the beta is not just as an opportunity to test Destiny but to promote it as well. Players will be allowed to stream the game via Twitch and Bungie has some sort of plans in work.
"We will do far more than allow you to share your glorious war stories from the frontier," Gague revealed. "We'll amplify your voices, if they are brave. Some of you will even be selected to play a role in our stories, as we go to war with (and against) our community in the wild for the first time. That will be as glorious a moment for us as it will be for you. Watch this space. We have plans within plans within plans."

Zach Duke's complete-game shutout late in the week cinched the International League's Pitcher of the Week honors for the period of August 6 to 12.
Duke went the distance in Syracuse's 6-0 shutout of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, allowing three hits, no walks and striking out seven. A week ago, the I.L. Leader in pitching wins (13) struck out eight over six frames in a 5-4 win over Buffalo.
Combined, he went 2-0 with 15 innings pitched, three runs allowed on eight hits and a walk while striking out 15.
Duke was signed as a free agent at the end of spring training following his release from the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was originally drafted by Pittsburgh in the 20th round of the 2001 Draft, making his major-league debut in July of 2005 and representing the Pirates in the 2009 All-Star game.
He is the third Syracuse Chief to win weekly honors, following Tanner Roark (July 23-29) and Corey Brown (May 21-27).
4 Responses to "Zach Duke Named Int'l Lg. Pitcher of the Week"
Now Rizzo just needs to get him on the 40-man roster. Somehow.
This is just a reminder of how incredibly lucky the Nats have been this year regarding injury. Most any other year, Duke would have been up already after an injury or two to the starting pitching.
I'm reminded how the Blue Jays lost 3 starting pitchers in less than 2 weeks in June, 2 of them for the year.
I wouldnt say we have been lucky with injury, more the position players have taken the injuries for the pitchers.
Point taken.

Penny Junor On Prince William: 'He Feels Secure With Kate' [EXCLUSIVE]
What Junor laid out for readers is a fair assessment of the royal family. While she does touch on their weaknesses, she insists that those do not outweigh their strengths as parents, as friends and as influential figures. I found it to be one of the best books on theroyals I've read in quite some time, and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to someone who has been covering the family for thirty years now.
"14 years ago I wrote a book that caused a great deal of anger, called Charles: Victim or Villain," she told me over the phone from England. "And I think that the reason people are angry with me is because they remember me from last time and they think that I am a Diana basher who just loves Charles and has not a good word to say for [the late Princess of Wales]. I was very surprised by the strength of the hostility towards me.
"Someone posted a comment on Amazon stating that they would absolutely not buy my book because it's 'full of lies.'" I then had to interject and assure Junor that I certainly did not feel that way. She appreciated the compliment, but Junor's a tough cookie and can handle the criticism, a trait that I appreciate.
"I hope that fair-minded, rational people will agree with you," she said when I laid out my opinion. "Because Diana was a great woman and I'm not knocking her. I'm just telling it how it was, which was difficult for all of them [the royal family]. And it explains why the marriage didn't work and it explains a huge amount about William. So why did Junor choose to focus on the heir to the throne?
"One of the reasons I really wanted to do the book was because I had met him when he was at University, and I had thought, 'What a really, really – not just lovely boy – but well-balanced confident, grounded young man.' He was a happy boy. Happy in his own skin, and I thought it was absolutely fascinating to have come through that kind of difficult childhood. There are lots of people who have that kind of start in life, but not so publicly. That's what I think made it so difficult for him.
"I wrote a piece in The Times last week that explained what has happened between Charles, the Queen and Camilla and why that relationship is now so good, and why suddenly people seem to be saying 'Charles has suddenly come out good. This is not the man that we knew.'"
I had to know how Junor was able to secure interviews with such credible sources like former palace press secretaries, normally very protective when it comes to both William and Harry.
"Because I've been doing it for thirty years," she said. "I think that's the long and the short of it. I built a good relationship with Buckingham Palace thirty years ago. They're not the only subject I write on, but I have come back to the royals over the years. I would like to think that I've worked quite well with the palace. I don't think I've ever upset them, I don't think I've upset my contacts. I've taken very great care of them and that's kind of important, because you never know when you're going to need somebody," she said with a laugh.
Junor met her husband at St. Andrew University, where William first laid eyes on the now Duchess of Cambridge. I had to know: Why is it considered a top match-making university? "Because there's nothing else to do there," Junor said lightheartedly. "It's miles from anywhere. It's the most lovely town and I adore going back there, but it is at then end of the line. There's no railway station, there is no airport. You just go there and you stay there. It's beautiful, and it's really picturesque. It's small. It's friendly. It's just a lovely little place, and, as I said, there's not much else. There's one cinema. When I was there certainly there were no nightclubs or anything. And there's still not a lot much more now, so people get to know each other rather well."
Well, now we have a commoner who will one day be William's consort. Why does Junor think people have taken so well to Catherine? "I think the Diana effect has a lot to do with it. I think she has replaced Diana as a fashion icon, as a glamorous member of the royal family. She's young, she's pretty, she wears clothes very well, she's good to look at. And people love William. I think that they see that William loves her. They've just taken her to their hearts because of that."
I asked Junor to clarify the world "replacing," as William made it clear in his interview on November 16th with Tom Bradby that Catherine would not take the place of his mother. This, I've come to realize, is a very sensitive subject.
"What I mean about 'replacing' Diana is that in 1981, when Diana married Prince Charles, she injected some glamour into the royal family, because the young member were not particularly glamorous. There was Princess Anne, who was always much more into horses than fashion. She was great, but she wasn't a fairy tale princess. Then Diana appeared on the scene, and she was very young and very vulnerable. The media had built it up to be a fairy tale. So, when I say "She has replaced Diana," no, of course she [Kate] hasn't. But she has given the public a new focus and look on the royal family.
"William and Harry are loved to bits. What the public particularly loves about them is that they are Diana's boys; the public sees Diana in those boys. And so for those who love Diana, that is a great bonus. She was magical in many ways."
Junor, who has met the heir a few times, says that he is "A delightful person, an absolutely delightful person."
"What I thought was a particularly telling remark was when William's press secretary said that the only instruction he ever had from the Duke of Cambridge was 'Tell the truth and to "Do the right thing." I thought that was extraordinary. He's not a complete pussycat. He knows who he is and what he is. He's not going to be messed around with, which is interesting, because he's still young and you would have thought he would say something along the lines of "Don't worry, don't worry."
We talked about William (who is the president of England's Football Association) going up against leaders of other countries in a bid to host the 2018 World Club back in December 2010. "That must have been daunting for him," Junor said. "He was up there with some really top flyers. With Clinton and so on. He must have been pretty nervous about the whole thing."
I asked Junor if she thought William, who has in the past been very hesitant and intimated by the idea of his future job, thinks that he is coming around to the idea of ruling the Commonwealth and its realms. "I think he's absolutely got it now," she told me. "He's embraced it. And I think that he was daunted by the whole prospect, but I think now he…he knows it's not going to happen next week. He knows it's awhile away.
"It is a very lonely job, being one of the royals. And that is what is so interesting about Charles. He was very lonely for years when the marriage wasn't working and he was off on his own, then for the years before he got together with Camilla. It is the sort of job where you do really, really need somebody to be with you and support you and talk to. Because everyone is working for you, the people you're with all the time' they're your valets, courtiers or your whatever-they-are. They're not your friends.
"Therefore it is lonely. You need somebody to be able to have a laugh with, and to say exactly what you think, which is probably the unthinkable, about somewhere that you've been or someone that you've met. You can't do that with a courtier. I think William feels secure with Kate, because she is proving to be everything he hoped she would. She doesn't seem to have any ambition to go off be a star in her own right; she seems to be content to be his consort.
"I think the fact that Kate comes from the middle class is absolutely brilliant for the monarchy, because the monarchy has been seen in the past to mix with very upper-class sort of people, very moneyed people (the hunting/shooting/polo playing/fishing sort of type) who are really not the majority of British people at all. There was a danger of them becoming a little out of touch. To have somebody plucked from the middle class, whose parents made their own way in life, is just brilliant."
Since William's entire life has been followed by the media, I wondered what he thought of the press, but there is a clear divide between two types. "The legitamite press, he is perfectly happy with," Junor said. "The paparazzi are not the legitamite press. They never have been. They make their lives about sneaking around and taking photos with very long lenses. They never go to photo calls, they never go to the official engagements. They work outside the realm of journalism. I"m a journalist too and I'm disgusted by the way [some of] the media have behaved towards the family.
"I think that William's determination to not let his own life be dissected and feasted on by the media is really, really important. But equally, he likes people who do the job politely and correctly. He recognizes that they have a job to do just as he has a job to do. Without them, to be honest, the royal family would be in a pickle, because they must be seen. People must know what the family is doing and why they're there. Otherwise, the public won't want them.
We talked about Will and Kate starting a family, and how troubling it is that some outlets insist on writing about the couple's private family life and when they're going to start a family. "It's absolutely nobody's business," Junor insisted. "And the more people comment on it and write about it, the more difficult it would be. It's the pressure on them, that sort of thing that could very well stop it from happening.
"I remember a friend of mine working for Barnardo's years ago. Couples who were unable to have children would come in to apply for adoption. After the process was complete, the woman would become pregnant, quite simply because the pressure was off. God knows what the media think they're doing. It is not our business. It's absolutely vile."
Moving on to a lighter subject (and a personal favorite of mine): The royal wedding, which Junor covered from London. "William recognized that as a member of the royal family, it would be nice for the public. A royal occasion done in the way that the British do it is so uplifting for people. It was magic,wasn't it? You got just a good feeling from it, and you also felt as if you were watching something intimate. It was a winning combination.
William mantra when planning the wedding was, "I want the best possible day for the most number of people."
That seems to be his mantra as the future King of England as well.

I am using LAMP server on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. Before this time I have installed prestashop without any issues. But after a long time when I tried to install prestashop today, it really showed me a strange error. The error is like this:
Warning: require(/var/www/Prestashop/config/config.inc.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/Prestashop/index.php on line 27 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/Prestashop/config/config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear/PEAR') in /var/www/Prestashop/index.php on line 27
For that I decided to debug the error so I went through many blogs and forums and I checked my php.ini file. The file is like this.
After going through many blogs someone had said that the error is for php pear package the link is here.
After that I just made edit my php.ini pear url like this:
;UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/php/PEAR"
After that I just restarted my apache server but it did not worked for me. The same error is coming. So here can someone kindly tell me what's the issue here? and how to solve this?

Use Pre-Selection to Meet More Women!
Pre-selection is part of what we call a display of Higher value, or a DHV. Pre-selection in a nut shell is exactly how it sounds. You are thought of as pre-selected when a woman observes the actions of other women in your life. For example if you walk into a club with a pretty girl, and many others are happy to see you and are open and social with you. This shows any observing women that you are ok with other women; Therefore, there must be something appealing about you that she would find interesting too. And if you recall from our definition of attraction , having interest is having some sort of attraction.
Personally, I feel pre-selection is one of the most under rated attraction switches people use.
I think a lot of people think that it is hard to get it, and impossible to fake it. Both are false. I am a big believer in fake it until you make it, but it also is not hard at all to build a circle of female friends. The trick is not being the creepy guy nor the emotional tampon. Ill explain more about that later.
The reason why it works to get women attracted to you is because women know instinctively from evolution that they can not depend on how good a man may be for them just from the outside impression a man gives. They know we can fake value and that we do. It's also a reason they "shit test" us. They need to know that a man has value from some type of other proof. There are many things that can provide that proof, and pre-selection is a very strong one. Pre-selection is a strong one because they see first hand that other women accept you. They see that other girls want you and find you trustworthy. That allows a new female observing this to come to the conclusion that you must be high value and you must be OK for them too. This allows them to put the guard down and go straight to knowing more about you. This is a huge attraction for them.
They see that other girls want you and find you trustworthy
Think about how many men women come across all the time. Think about all the normal barrage of bore they come across at bars and clubs. They see it all, and most men get lumped into that category very fast, unless you can stand out from that group. If you don't, you have a much harder battle to get even noticed.
Check out this Audio on Preselection Download here
Just imagine this for a moment. Imagine a guy up at the bar either by himself or just standing there with a beer in his hand up by his chest like a predator hunting women.
Now imagine that same guy with his back against the bar and very comfortable. 2 or three girls looking at him and smiling and laughing at what he is saying. You can see they are giving him their complete attention. Now imagine other guys outside of that circle of people, looking in and watching and talking too.
Now what do you think of these two guys? The guy with three girls talking to him looks much higher value, and there has to be some reason that those girls are spending their time giving him attention. Even more high value that other men are doing the same.
When women see this attention from females to the guy, then it is a sure sign to them that this guy is used to women, has women in his life, and therefore, accepted and wanted by women.
I don't think I need to tell anyone this, but I think we all know that women want what other women want. It's a great thing to understand, trust me. Use it to your favor.
So How Can You Use This Pre-selection?
The key to getting good pre-selection is to get yourself a group of platonic girlfriends. I learned a lot about this from Love Systems , they go into this in great detail in Social Circle Mastery and it can take many, many articles to explain this fully. But for now let's just say you need to befriend many women and not as the nice guy or the creepy guy. Let's go back and talk about friend guy and creepy guy very briefly. ( more about these in separate articles).
Nice Guy is the guy that gets a lot of girlfriends but it is not because they respect him or want him. It's because they use him as an emotional tampon to dump their issues on to like some sort of therapy for them.Or because they think of him as safe and cute like a puppy. You don't want to be considered cute as a puppy.
Then there is creepy guy, and this is when a guy tries and hits on every girl that is around him, doesn't use kino (touch) right and goes way past acceptable with it. It basically oozes out he just wants sex in everything he does.
You see the things these two have in common are agendas. They both come at this with an agenda of getting the girl somehow with the friendship. That is creepy. If you are setting out to get girls as friends you need to keep your bad boy edge. You still need to be seen as a possible sexual friend. You just have to make the first move of making them a friend. You need to be fun and exciting, yet you are the one that is making them a friend.
This not only turns the girls on that you are doing this to, it also makes them respect you. They know you are sexual, they know that there is a chance you to could have something, but it's you that is stopping it. What reason can you use for not wanting to ? It's easy. The statement of "I'm not good for you, you're a great girl and I'm not the type of guy a girl like you should get involved with". Something along these lines played well at the right time will work wonders. Even if there has never been any interest from her to you, you can use this. You simply throw it in as a funny comment at some point, then let it resonate. She will start to think about this all the time. It's like a cat that can't get what it wants. It bothers them. This process of them wondering why you chose not to have them will turn around and make them attracted to you.
The key to remember here is unless you really want to go that route with this girl, you need to keep that fish on the line and not reel it in. These girls will eventually understand and then become your best friend. They know it's not because of them, but that your really just a good guy at heart. Although they may feel that you are just sexual ( which is not a bad thing to have), they will trust you aren't out to use anyone. You will now be introduced to all of her friends as a great friend.
This is a huge difference e then just being a guy she knows that is trying to date her but can't man up. Your the guy that put her in the friend zone.
What does this have to do with pre-selection?
Well the more of these you can gather up as friends, the better off you are. Now as you start going out places you will start to run into them all over. If you were smart you would find out what they are all doing on the nights out and arrange that you all meet out, or go out together as a group, or just plain "end up" at the same place.
You will be getting attention from them all night, and trust me, every girl in the place will notice this.
You just got pre-selection….. To Learn much , much more on this and find out exactly why I feel this is the most important aspect you should work on in your game, check out these This course on exactly how to use Pre-Selection go Here

After the aberration of the Golden Calf, the need for a Temple, reminding Jews of the Divine presence in their midst, became paramount. Nonetheless, the House of G-d, as important as it was, did not cancel the Shabbat rest. Thus, this week's reading in conjunction to building the Temple relates, "On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be holy to you." Commentaries wonder why Shabbat, a TIME related mitzvah, is connected with a structure in physical SPACE.
In modern physics, time and space intersect. We've even coined the phrase SPACETIME, to describe a four-dimensional grid against which all physical objects and events are measured. No wonder that many of the characteristics of space are attributed to time. We speak of a point in time or a stretch of time. Indeed, time's complexities can be better comprehended when we apply geometric space models. One such diagram is the circle, considered the most perfect of spatial shapes. The circle has three features; its center point, radius and circumference.
Of the three, the largest is the circumference which is approximately six times the length of the radius. This is true of all circles regardless of size. Conversely, the center point actually occupies no area. (If it did, it could be divided into two points.) As such, it should hardly qualify as a component of space.
Still it is the point that defines and begins all other geometric shapes; be they lines, triangles, or the circle. While the point may not occupy any measurable space, it is this center that truly defines the circle. The radius extends from it, the diameter turns on it, and the circumference is drawn in relation to it. Every feature of the circle depends upon it.
A similar model must be utilized to understand the importance of Shabbat to the rest of the week. The exterior surface of this circle (its circumference) is represented by the six work days. The center of the circle is Shabbat. Just as the center point cannot be measured in space, Shabbat is not counted as just another day in time. Indeed, it is timeless. Concurrently, just as all spatial dimensions revolve around this point of no space, similarly, the cycle of the week gyrates to the Shabbat axis that is above time.
That is why these two disparate laws are brought together. They share a similar model, with practical applications for our mobile and Internet society. Our reach is worldwide. We fly from one continent to the other, order books from anywhere with the click of a mouse, and watch astronauts in real time parking space stations in the distant heavens.
If it seems as if the borders of space and time have moved outward at speeds once hardly imaginable, they have. But the laws of geometry still hold true. Regardless of how distant the circumference, the immutable and immeasurable Sanctuary (holy space) and Shabbat (holy time), must be at the core of our hectic lives.

Sally Hollowell, beloved wife of Ray (2000), passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family in Windsor, Ontario. She was predeceased by her parents Carl Harper Horne and Lillian Pearl (nee MacAloney) and her sisters Francis and Pearl.
Sally is the loving mother of Fred and Deb (2010), Janice and David Kessler, Diane and Rob Graper and David and Karen. She is the grandmother of Jennifer (Rod), Laurie, Brett (Vanessa), Sarah, Katie (Michael), Anna, David, Bryan (Kristy), Kyle, Elizabeth, Stefanie and Willie, great grandmother of Matthew and Greta.
Sally worked at the Volunteer Aid Detachment (VAD) in Windsor, Ont. for the St. John Ambulance Corps during the war years. Later, she became attached to the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. She worked at Grace Hospital in Windsor on the Military Ward and was posted to the hospital at Trafalgar Street School in London, Ont. Later, Sally worked at Crumlin Hospital in London. It was there that she met Ray. They were happily married for 54 years.
Sally was a stay-at-home mom, always enjoying her children and their activities. Our mom was always finding new hobbies – sewing, petit point, needlepoint, stained glass, millinery and many more. She spent many hours volunteering for the Cancer Society of Windsor. She and Ray spent their retirement years travelling to many places in their motor home. They enjoyed many winters in Texas.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff of Heron Terrace for their care.
At Sally's request, there will be no funeral. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or to a charity of their choice. Arrangements entrusted to Families First 1065 Lauzon Rd. East Windsor, 519-969-5841.
Thanks Mom for all that you were and all that you gave us.

Suppose $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k\in\mathbb{R}$. Is it true that $f(x)=\sum\limits_{1 \leq i \leq k}{\dfrac{\pm a_i}{\log(1+a_ix)}}$ has at most finitely many zeros (on the domain where $1+a_ix>0$ for all $i$) for every sign combination? I have plotted several curves in Mathematica and feel it might be correct. Any ideas to prove it?

I find a simple proof for this. For large $x$, we will have $\log(1+a_i x) \sim \log(a_i)+\log(x)$. Let $t = \log(x), c_i = \log(a_i)$, then let's look at the problem whether $g(t) = \sum\limits_{1 \leq i \leq k}{\frac{a_i}{\log(a_i)+t}}$ has infinite vanish points. But it obviously does not, because the equivalent polynomial $\sum\limits_{1 \leq i \leq k}{ a_i \prod\limits_{j \not=i}{ (\log(a_j)+t)}}$ does not infinite vanish points.
On the other hand, it is trivial to show $f(t)-g(t) = o(f(t)) = o(g(t))$, which means if $g(t) > 0$ (or $g(t) < 0$) in the long run, we will also have $f(t) > 0$ (or $f(t) < 0$) in the long run. QED.

IntroductionAcademicsLocation CostsDatesApplication
Edith Cowan University is Western Australia's second largest university, with approximately 23,000 students. It includes four campuses, all of which are connected by train or bus to the city center. Most MU students study at either the Mount Lawley or Joondalup campus.
Mount Lawley, located in a cosmopolitan suburb minutes from the city center, abounds with shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels. Joondalup, a modern campus located in Perth's fastest growing metropolitan sector with state-of-the-art facilities, includes a newly built recreation center.
As an MU student, you can attend school in Australia for a semester or the full academic year. Being in the southern hemisphere, Australia's academic year begins with the new calendar year. The first (fall) semester begins in late February with a week of orientation. Classes meet until the first week of June and exams conclude by the first week of July. The second (winter) semester begins in mid-July and exams end in mid-November.
You will take regular ECU classes alongside Australian students. More than 330 courses are offered through the five faculties, including:
For each semester of academic work completed abroad, you may earn 12 to 15 credit hours. Course credit transfers to MU, but your grades will not appear on your MU transcript and are not figured into your GPA. Although you are guaranteed to receive credit for successfully completed courses, you must work with your academic adviser(s) to obtain pre-approval for how the courses you take might fulfill specific degree requirements.
With a population of 1.7 million, Perth is Australia's fourth largest and fastest growing city. Perth's amenities are world class and its people, industries and institutions are dynamic and global in outlook. As well as being friendly, safe and relaxed, Perth offers all the cosmopolitan attractions of a large international city. The city boasts hundreds of restaurants, cafes, cinemas, nightclubs, music venues and great shopping. The warm, sunny climate is perfect for sporting and leisure: from surfing to whale-watching to sailing.
In addition to the program costs paid to MU, you will have expenses associated with international travel and living abroad. The amounts listed are estimated costs based on current exchange rates and on the information provided to us by your host institution and past participants. Depending on your personal spending habits, you may spend more or less than the figures provided.
Please note that these expenses do not include vacation travel or sightseeing.
If you are awarded financial aid for study abroad, it will be applied to your MU account according to the regular financial aid disbursement schedule. Reminder: You must be enrolled in study abroad and have completed the required financial aid forms for study abroad in order to be considered for aid.
Because non-resident tuition charges apply, MU students should be eligible to use non-resident scholarship towards the program costs.

The 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft has come to a close. Catch up on all the picks right here. Minnesota left-hander Tom Windle was taken in the second round (No. 56) by the Los Angeles Dodgers to pace all Big Ten eligible players. Watch our feature on Windle and view the Big Ten's drafted players in this post.
Greg Bartram-US PRESSWIRE
There used to be a time when the rushing touchdown leaderboard always came down to the elite running backs. These days, the running backs receive stiff competition from dual-threat quarterbacks. More specifically, in the Big Ten, Kain Colter, Taylor Martine and Braxton Miller. Will a signal-caller lead the Big Ten in rushing scores this fall? See Tom Dienhart and Brent Yarina's picks in this post.
Sam Travis, much like the rest of the Indiana baseball team, is tearing it up. Name it, the first baseman has done it. In seven postseason games, Travis owns a .538 average (14-for-26), three home runs, 10 runs and 11 RBI on his way to claiming most outstanding player of the Big Ten tournament and the Bloomington Regional.
Everyone at Iowa is ready to turn the page on 2012 and move forward. Why not? Last season saw the Hawkeyes go 4-8, the program's worst mark since 2000—Kirk Ferentz's second season in Iowa City. Iowa missed a bowl for the first time since 2007, ending a four-year bowl run.
The Big Ten is known for churning out 1,000-yard running backs. That's still the case in 2013, with talents such as Ameer Abdullah, Carlos Hyde, Venric Mark and James White, among others, calling the Big Ten home. In recent seasons, however, quarterbacks have joined the mix, too. And that only makes predicting the rushing yards leader even more fun. See our guys' picks for this season's rushing yards leader in this post.

Using Bootcamp is it possible to run OS X and Windows simultaneously such that I can command-tab between the two? I've run Windows using Bootcamp a few years ago but at that time a restart was required when switching between OS X and Windows.
Bootcamp is designed to allow you to change your operating system while the computer boots.
Nothing allows you to swap purely back and forth between operating systems that way. What you can do is use software that runs Windows in OS X with hardware virtualization, a huge step up from the software virtual machines of old.
There are three good options: Parallels, VMWare Fusion, and VirtualBox, the last of which has the advantage of being free.
If you want more technical details, particularly the ones that drove an edit to improve this answer, read the comments below.
VMware Fusion has a nice feature in 3.x called Unity that allows Windows applications to run on the Mac desktop without running in a window that also runs Windows. This means that you could have Word 2010 running with the look and feel of Word 2010 on Windows 7, but as another application Window on your Mac.
Windows must still be booted as a VM - it's just that VMware Fusion hides this. Applications in Unity mode can be pinned to the dock just like regular Mac OS X applications. Launching them launches VMware, which boots the VM and then spawns the application.
This is akin to Wine on Linux, except a full VM of Windows is running - no API translations, full Windows fidelity.
You can alt-tab amongst Mac and Windows apps.
This is still true. "Bootcamp", as the name implies, is a way to boot into a non-Apple operating system, and your computer can only boot into one operating system at a time.
If you want to use Windows programs side-by-side with Mac programs, you'll need to use a virtualization program like Parallels or Fusion.

Vicki Gunvalson was seen renovating her gorgeous Orange County home during a recent episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," so when fans heard that she would be selling the house, everyone was a bit confused.
Luckily, Gunvalson recently spoke out, explaining why she decided to get rid of the home so soon after making it her own.
"I'm just ready for a change," Gunvalson recently revealed, according to a July 28 report by The Inquisitr. "My whole theory is that when life changes, you have to change everything."
In the last few months, Gunvalson has made the final decisions regarding her ongoing divorce from Don Gunvalson, and has also been juggling her on-again, off-again relationship with Brooks Ayers. She's definitely had her hands full, so who can blame her for wanting to make a change and start fresh?
Earlier this month, Zillow reported that Gunvalson was selling the 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom Coto De Caza home, but when it comes to her location, Gunvalson said she isn't ready to leave Orange County.
"Oh you betcha I'm never leaving the OC," she revealed, adding that she's already purchased a new home, which just so happens to be close to her former co-star, Lydia McLaughin. "It's in Dana Point. It's gorgeous." According to Gunvalson, the home is at the top of a hill and boasts a 180-degree ocean view.
Although Gunvalson would love to sell her home quickly, her main concern seems to be that she find the right buyer -- one who won't paint over her custom, hand-painted mural.
"When I sell this house, whenever that may be, I hope no one paints over it, because just to me it's a work of art," she explained.

So my husband and I are just in the very beginning stages of the adoption process. As I tell more people about it, I've been getting all kinds of comments like "As soon as you adopt you will get pregnant." or "You are still so young, you don't need to adopt." (We are 26 and 28.)
What do you say to people who have comments like this? We have only just begun the telling people outside of family so I'm not sure how to handle these comments yet.

WASHINGTON — The way Mr. Thornton tells the story, it was shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, and he suddenly needed to drive the CIA's No. 3 official to a secret location three hours away in Virginia.
His boss, A.B. ''Buzzy'' Krongard, was running late, so Mr. Thornton — a fedora-wearing septuagenarian who everyone, even agency directors, called by that honorific — would need to use his lead foot.
''It was at one of these undercover places, and we were doing 80 miles per hour. One time, I hit 100. But I got Buzzy there 15 minutes before the meeting,'' said Mr. Thornton, 79, who insists he cannot remember much else about the drive and why the meeting was so urgent. ''All I knew about it was that it was a secret place. That's all I can say.''
Mr. Thornton never ran spies. (So he says.) He never interrogated a terrorist suspect. But in his nearly 45 years at the CIA — a tenure that ended Dec. 20 when he retired — the Prince George's County, Md., man worked as an agency driver and became a fixture at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Va.
In his first two-plus decades, he operated agency shuttle buses, picking up CIA employees around Washington and dropping them off at government facilities. And in the last 17 or so, he chauffeured the agency's executive director and other agency officers.
Until December, Mr. Thornton was an unarmed CIA driver with top security clearance who every day held in his hands the lives of elite spymasters.
What did Mr. Thornton overhear in all those trips with the CIA's senior executives?
''You learn not to be too curious,'' he said, with a slight grin.
''I saw history change all the time, directors and executive directors come in and leave. I was there when things happened,'' he said. ''But you couldn't go up and down the street saying you were there. I know it. The people I was hauling know it.''
At Langley, Mr. Thornton walked the agency's seventh floor of senior executives, popping into offices, clad in Burberry or Joseph Abboud suits, and red or brown bowlers or fedoras.
On his breaks, he routinely could be found in one of the back tables at the agency's Starbucks, chatting with fellow drivers. (Yes, the CIA has, among other chain eateries, a Starbucks, replete with Aimee Mann music and highly vetted baristas.)
Those who didn't know him by name simply called him ''The Hat Man.''
Mr. Thornton said one event, more than others, stayed with him: when a Pakistani immigrant shot and killed two agency employees at a red light outside the headquarters in January of 1993. ''I had stopped at a McDonald's and was on the way back to headquarters. I was in the fourth car behind the guys that got shot,'' Mr. Thornton said. ''The shooter came down the line and was shooting at people. And then he jumped in a car, and they didn't know where he went.''
Other memories are more comical. Once, Mr. Thornton recalls, he had to pick up Krongard at a government facility in Northern Virginia, and suddenly, George Tenet, then the agency's director, hopped in the back of his car, ditching his armed security.
''Tenet just said something like, 'Let's go! Put the pedal to the metal!''' Mr. Thornton said, laughing.
If Mr. Thornton overheard anything juicy from his principals, the talk likely centered on who was getting which job.
''There could be discussion that you were going to promote Joe to John's job,'' Krongard said. ''In the agency, that's worth its weight in gold, rather than whether we're going to run a coup in some country, because that's business as usual and won't affect anyone.''

Research Objective
structures that are damaged due to cracking and spalling
associated with corrosion of reinforcing bars are
often repaired using shallow depth surface patches.
Cracking and full or partial delamination of the patch
repairs due to shrinkage and continued corrosion is
generally unavoidable. The repairs typically last
only for a few years in corrosive environments associated
with coastal regions or where deicing salts are used.
The objective of the research was to develop an improved
repair method for shallow depth surface patches.
Research Approach
use of a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) fabric applied
as an overlay on top of a traditional polymer concrete
patching material was investigated as a means of improving
the durability of shallow depth patches. The FRP overlay
can serve as a secondary reinforcement and act as
a barrier against the diffusion of moisture and chloride
ions, thereby improving the performance of the patch
by reducing cracking and slowing down the corrosion
process. Two-dimensional finite element analysis was
used to select a suitable FRP material and configuration
for the overlay. The effectiveness of the proposed
improved repair method was assessed using accelerated
corrosion testing of rectangular concrete prism specimens
with a polymer concrete patch and an FRP overlay.
Reinforcement mass loss and expansive strains in concrete
due to corrosion were measured on specimens with and
without the FRP overlay. The measurements indicated
reductions in concrete strains, crack propagation
and corrosion level when the FRP overlay was used.
Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted
to understand the influence of using an FRP overlay
on the concrete stress distribution and the arrest
of cracking.
Research Results
element (FE) simulations indicated that a single layer
of bi-directional glass FRP fabric was sufficient
to withstand the load due to corrosion-induced swelling.
Accelerated corrosion tests (see Fig. 1) indicated
that the FRP overlay delays the onset of cracking
and changes the crack pattern. When an overlay is
not used, corrosion induced swelling causes a main
crack to initiate in the patch and propagate downward
toward the bottom of the beam. When an FRP overlay
is used, the main crack initiates in the concrete
and propagates sideways away from the region influenced
by the overlay. The FE analysis predicted the crack
patterns observed in the experiments reasonably well
(see Fig. 2). It indicated that, based on mechanical
effects alone, the initiation of cracking is delayed
in the presence of an overlay until more of the rebar
corrodes. The change in the crack pattern can delay
the migration of moisture, oxygen and chloride to
the corroding bar since the crack does not open through
the concrete cover. This effect together with the
delay of cracking should increase the durability of
the patch repair. The accelerated corrosion test confirmed
that the corrosion rate was reduced when an FRP overlay
was used, most probably due to the reduction in the
diffusion of chloride ions, moisture and air through
the concrete and patch. The mechanical enhancement
provided by an FRP overlay, together with reduction
in diffusion of moisture and chloride ions that it
may cause, therefore provides considerable improvement
in the durability of patched concrete beams against
corrosion (Harichandran and Nossoni 2008).
1 Crack patterns due to corrosion: (a) Pattern
1, and (b) Pattern 2
TCI along different crack paths: (a) Crack Pattern
1, and (b) Crack Pattern 2
enhanced durability resulting from the use of an FRP
overlay on top of a traditional polymer concrete patch
will reduced the maintenance cost and labor associating
with repatching bridges.

I'm currently working in a company where many of us log onto hosts/servers under Windows Server 2008 via console session.
If one person is logged on and another tries it causes the person who was logged on first (and maybe doing something important) to be cut off.
Is there such a thing as an application for such events where before logging on people can see if any other IP address is controlling the host/server?
Also, if the person on the console session had the ability to leave a note for anybody thinking of taking over the session of when they are finished etc.. I have many other ideas for such things but could someone tell me if such an application exists?

Just a note to let everyone know Kathi M and I have our cabin weather tight here in Chickaloon and the coffee is always on if any of you are out this way. We took a break from building the other day and had a great ride from the cabin up to the base of Castle Mountain. There is a couple inches of snow up here with more falling as I write this. Entries are coming in for the 07 Iditarod Trail Invitational even had an inquiry from Jordan but still waiting to hear from some of you "local folks". Here's to a long cold winter with lots of snow riding.
