In the press and real life testimonials
The Making Mums Happy programme has been featured in The Times and the Daily Mail.
The proof that it works - when we first ran this programme over 1000 mums joined and completed the course to see if they could raise their levels of happiness. Their happiness was measured before they started and the average happiness score was 52 (on a scale from 1 to 100). After taking the Making Mums Happy course, the average score was 64 - a rise of over 10% in just 3 weeks.
I am delighted to see that this project has led to such positive results. It is really important to spread the message about positive steps everyone can take to improve their sense of wellbeing, and Netmums have shown how small changes can make a big difference. It is very exciting to see that the Internet can be used in such a powerful way.
Dr. Jenny Bywaters, formerly Director of Public Health, National Institute for Mental Health in England
Here is what some Netmums who have followed the programme have to say...
For me it has been good to make a point of thinking about what is going right, rather than what is going wrong - and being thankful for everything we have. It's so easy to complain about things, i.e. the weather, housework not being done, no free time etc, but doing this has made me look at life a little more differently. Instead of wasting time moaning about things, it makes you think about how you can change things for yourself and keep that smile on your face for longer!
The thing I noticed the most about doing these tasks was that they forced me to sit down and really think about small things in my life. Things that are so easy to take for granted in this materialistic, capitalistic world. I think that is the key to happiness that seems so easy to overlook - pay attention to the stuff that can be easily overlooked and the big stuff will look after itself! Thank you for giving me a reason to remember all the great things in my life
In the last two weeks I have made 4 new mum friends just by being more outgoing and brave when out and about. I go to two more groups during the week; have booked myself onto a salsa course and am going to swim Loch Ness in my local outdoor pool for charity! I feel much more positive on a daily basis and have had some lovely moments. Such as yesterday - I was out digging in the garden with my little girl of 2 and a half and it suddenly started to pour down, so we ran up the garden and she sat on my lap in the shed watching the rain and then a rainbow appeared in the field in front of us. It was a real golden moment!!
For me it's just been getting out of the old routine for a bit. I have not done everything every day (the food stuff in particular has been tricky as I have been suffering from horrendous morning sickness) but calling old friends rather than watching tv has been great. I just needed a kick up the backside because it's so easy after a day with the kids to just crash out in front of the tv and switch off from the human race. Making a point of talking to people outside your normal sphere and calling people just to be friendly has been lovely
Being a SAHM with a toddler, the days can all blur into one a bit and there isn't much structure to the week. It was great just to have something to plan the day around and most of the tasks you could get your kids involved in too. We had fun doing the gardening and skipping
For me it was forcing myself to make eye contact, smile and chat with strangers. I have found, without exception, that I get a friendly response, which is so refreshing. We all walk around in our own little bubbles assuming everyone else doesn't want to know us...but I have discovered the opposite is true, if the smiles and nice conversations I have had this week are anything to go by
Smiling and saying hello to people has made a difference for me too. I got caught in the rain on the way to work when it was absolutely lashing it down last Wednesday morning, properly soaked to the skin, and instead of getting really fed up I could really see the funny side in how ridiculous I must look and the fact that the water had got in through my boots...I think the fact that I was smiling made one or two other people feel better about how wet they were as well (although they may just have thought I was a loon)
I have to say that keeping the diary is the best bit for me, although I don't always have it up to date, it is good to have a good old think and appreciate the good things in life
I have enjoyed this happiness club - I was feeling really down when I signed up to it and all my family have noticed a real difference since I started which is great. I've loved the diary bit - the first day I found really difficult but as time has gone on I have realised so much just from spending time actually thinking about each day
The smiling and talking to strangers was very hard to begin with but now it is second nature. Also doing something nice; just letting someone have a parking space or pull in in front of you... small things make a huge difference. Laughing with the kids was great - just leave the housework because it will still be there in 10 mins. Having the 'me' time was a great stress reliever too even just 20 mins a day - It was about making time for everyone including myself.
After the first few days of struggling to do any - not just all - of the tasks I came to the realisation that my happiness is very much time related. Money worries will always be there (the more we have the more we need), as will problems with other people (work colleagues, family, friends, partners), in fact, if we don't have these worries we often create them. But I find that if I have time to do the things I want to do, whether it is tidy out the wardrobe, wash the car, hoover, read a book (thing of the past lately), get on with my business work or spend time with my husband and 9 mth old baby then I am a much more balanced human being. So in terms of doing the tasks suggested I am a bit of a failure, but for making me aware of what makes me happy this has really worked
>All in all I am glad I did this because I do feel I am happier and as a result everyone in the house seems happier too and we are definitely doing more things as a family and the TV is off a lot more which can only be a good thing
I have got in touch with old friends and was pleasantly surprised about their response...they were all delighted to hear from me despite the fact that we had lost contact. But the task I have enjoyed the most was sitting down with my partner to discuss what we appreciate in each other. It felt a bit strange at first but it was worth doing as it has brought us together even more...my partner, who is not generally very keen on discussing emotions, was really touched! I really recommend it

The 7 Most Preposterous Sexual Positions People Claim to Use
This seems like it makes sense at first, because who among us doesn't get all horned up by the smell of chlorine and the threat of stewing in tepid urine? Pool parties are fun, after all, and when you're in a pool, odds are you're at least half undressed anyway, so it's like an invitation to sexy times.
The terrible reality of pool sex is far removed from the sexalicious fantasy. To start with, if you were going to rank lubricants, chlorinated water would be near the ass end of the list, above root beer but below Sriracha. The other issue deals with the ebb and flow of tides. As nasty as it is for you to groinally ingest pool water, so too is it nasty for you to hose down that pool with your internal squirtings. As an impartial third-party swimmer, I can say with absolute certainty that if I were swimming along and ran face first into a semen barge, I don't give a fancy fuck how much chlorine is in that pool, I'm going to shout obscenities like a drunken sailor stubbing his toe. No one needs to play Marco Polo amidst your love jellyfish.

Logistically, this is also a letdown because basically you're just having sex standing up again, which we already know sucks, but now instead of potentially just losing your grip and falling, maybe you drown your partner. Plus, when switching over to any of those fun-time mouth maneuvers that are so popular in the sexplay these days, you're going to be met with a mouthful of clammy, cold pool-waterlogged flesh that, yes, probably is tainted with pee.
#2. The Butter Churner
I assume this position was invented by a man who hated his wife or by an exuberant Amish man who really loved his wife in the way he loved his work and switches religiously between this position and the ol' "barn raiser." It's a thin line, I'm sure. The gist of this position is that you're using the woman the same way you'd use a butter churn, which is basically a skinny barrel in which you plunge some manner of stick (in this case your dinky) over and over again to turn cream into butter. Of course, in the sex way the barrel is a vagina and the cream is, you know, sexing. If you somehow make actual butter, please see a doctor.

Sexy. And better for you than margarine!
There are some issues with this position, not the least of which is that it requires the woman to take her entire weight plus the force of man-thrusting on her neck. Why would that be appealing? Also, so the man isn't left out of the discomfort, his penis needs to be entirely vertical and at the 6 o'clock position, which is just about the opposite of where it should be at any given time. The penis, contrary to some beliefs, is not a Mr. Potato Head appendage.
Once you're in position and the woman has blood rushing to her head and her breathing somewhat obstructed, you just start pogo-sticking her for all its worth in the hopes that, somewhere down there, you're not stepping on her face and she's really digging your moves.
#1. The Spider
If you were to name an animal that you equate with sex, you'd be something of a pervert. But then, if you picked the spider, you'd get the extra special notoriety of being super weird and gross at the same time, because spiders are the opposite of sex.
Grossness aside, in sex terms the spider seems to be what happens when you and your partner get in the crab walk position and smash your genitals together. Once you're locked in place, I guess you just vibrate and hum, or continue butting at each other like mountain goats trying to establish superiority. At some point Tab A and Slot B mush in a mutually satisfactory way and you disengage, or your wrists and knees grow tired and you collapse in a heap of dissatisfaction. Time will tell.

Was it bad for you too?
For whatever reason, polite society has come to accept the inclusion of dog references in sex, and horses too. You can be hung like a horse and few people are offended, just as if you request a rousing bout of doggy dancing. But none of us have graduated to the point of being really turned on by a partner coming close and breathily saying, "I wanna fuck you like a spider." Honestly, my first instinct would be to presume she's going to kill me when it's over, and I'm not ready for that. Even if it's really good.
Making sex into a weird game of Twister seems kind of like you're going against the grain anyway. I'm all for trying new positions, but if the position makes you grunt before you even start having sex, it's likely not going to be worth it. Plus, what are the benefits of a position that, once again, requires the man's wang to at best be pointed south-southeast?

The Windows Registry
What is the Registry?
The Registry is a database used to store settings and options for the 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows 95, 98, ME and NT/2000/XP. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. Whenever a user makes changes to a Control Panel settings, or File Associations, System Policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the Registry.
The physical files that make up the registry are stored differently depending on your version of Windows; under Windows 95 & 98 it is contained in two hidden files in your Windows directory, called USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT, for Windows Me there is an additional CLASSES.DAT file, while under Windows NT/2000 the files are contained seperately in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config directory. You can not edit these files directly, you must use a tool commonly known as a "Registry Editor" to make any changes.
Finding the Registry Components
The registry itself is a composite of multiple files, and these files vary depending on the version of Windows. The files that make up the registry are known as hives. They are very important to the operation of Windows, and without them the operating system will not operate. The hives are set in groups known as handle keys (HK).
Location: Windows 95, 98, Me
The registry is easier to locate in Windows 9x than it is in Windows NT. The registry is split between two different files, the User.dat and the System.dat. These are both found in the Windows folder, which is most generically located at c:\windows. The User.dat represents the hive known as the Current User, and the System.dat represents the hive known as the Local Machine hive. Backups of these files are created with a DA0 extension instead of DAT. So, the User.da0 and the System.da0 files are complete backups of the registry, created at the last successful load of them. This means if they get corrupted you could just rename the backups and you'd lose very little. If multiple logins were configured are enabled on Windows 9x through the passwords control panel then the user.dat will be stored in c:\windows\Profiles\<username>\USER.DAT, where <username> is replaced by the name used to login. Windows Me also contains a classes.dat file in addition to the user and system dat files.
Location: Windows NT4, 2000, XP
In Windows NT it is a bit trickier to locate the hives than it is in Windows 9x. The current user hive is located in the user profile folder and is named NTUSER.DAT. On Windows 2000, XP the user profile folders can be found in C:\Documents and Settings by default, but in Windows NT4 the default path to the user profiles is in C:\winnt\profiles.
The local machine hive though is split between several different files. These can be found in the Windows folder under the system32\config directory, so these would by default be in C:\windows\system32\config for Windows XP and c:\winnt\system32\config for Windows NT4 or 2000. The files default, SAM, SECURITY, software, system and userdiff are the local machine hive components.
The Structure of the Registry
The Registry has a hierarchal structure, although it looks complicated the structure is similar to the directory structure on your hard disk, with Regedit being similar to Windows Explorer.
Registry Structure
Each main branch (denoted by a folder icon in the Registry Editor, see image) is called a Hive, and Hives contains Keys. Each key can contain other keys (sometimes referred to as sub-keys), as well as Values. The values contain the actual information stored in the Registry. There are three types of values; String, Binary, and DWORD - the use of these depends upon the context.
There are six main branches, each containing a specific portion of the information stored in the Registry. They are as follows:
Since the registry needs to operate on a multi-user computer, where each user has different attributed privileges, the registry requires the ability to differentiate access control based on users and group membership. These permissions are accomplished through access control lists (ACL), but you should read in detail on that if you want to understand them better. It should be noted here that this does not apply to Windows 95, 98 or Me, as they are not multi-user operating systems. In the registry only keys can have permissions applied to them, so you can't apply permissions directly to the values. Instead, the values of a key inherit the permissions of the key. Often there are keys you will not be able to alter, and you will need to take ownership of them or give your username, or a group you are a member of, read/write permissions to that key. Of course, this requires administrator access.
Editing the Registry
The Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE) is included with most version of Windows (although you won't find it on the Start Menu) it enables you to view, search and edit the data within the Registry. There are several methods for starting the Registry Editor, the simplest is to click on the Start button, then select Run, and in the Open box type "regedit", and if the Registry Editor is installed it should now open and look like the image above.
An alternative Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) is available for use with Windows NT/2000, it includes some additional features not found in the standard version, including; the ability to view and modify security permissions, and being able to create and modify the extended string values REG_EXPAND_SZ & REG_MULTI_SZ.
Create a Shortcut to Regedit
This can be done by simply right-clicking on a blank area of your desktop, selecting New, then Shortcut, then in the Command line box enter "regedit.exe" and click Next, enter a friendly name (e.g. 'Registry Editor') then click Finish and now you can double click on the new icon to launch the Registry Editor.
Using Regedit to modify your Registry
Once you have started the Regedit you will notice that on the left side there is a tree with folders, and on the right the contents (values) of the currently selected folder.
Like Windows explorer, to expand a certain branch (see the structure of the registry section), click on the plus sign [+] to the left of any folder, or just double-click on the folder. To display the contents of a key (folder), just click the desired key, and look at the values listed on the right side. You can add a new key or value by selecting New from the Edit menu, or by right-clicking your mouse. And you can rename any value and almost any key with the same method used to rename files; right-click on an object and click rename, or click on it twice , or just press F2 on the keyboard. Lastly, you can delete a key or value by clicking on it, and pressing Delete on the keyboard, or by right-clicking on it, and choosing Delete.
Note: it is always a good idea to backup your registry before making any changes to it. It can be intimidating to a new user, and there is always the possibility of changing or deleting a critical setting causing you to have to reinstall the whole operating system. It's much better to be safe than sorry!
Importing and Exporting Registry Settings
A great feature of the Registry Editor is it's ability to import and export registry settings to a text file, this text file, identified by the .REG extension, can then be saved or shared with other people to easily modify local registry settings. You can see the layout of these text files by simply exporting a key to a file and opening it in Notepad, to do this using the Registry Editor select a key, then from the "Registry" menu choose "Export Registry File...", choose a filename and save. If you open this file in notepad you will see a file similar to the example below:
So by simply editing this file to make the changes you want, it can then be easily distributed and all that need to be done is to double-click, or choose "Import" from the Registry menu, for the settings to be added to the system Registry.
Deleting keys or values using a REG file
It is also possible to delete keys and values using REG files. To delete a key start by using the same format as the the REG file above, but place a "-" symbol in front of the key name you want to delete. For example to delete the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup] key the reg file would look like this:
Regedit Command Line Options
Regedit has a number of command line options to help automate it's use in either batch files or from the command prompt. Listed below are some of the options, please note the some of the functions are operating system specific.
regedit.exe [options] [filename] [regpath]
Maintaining the Registry
How can you backup and restore the Registry?
Windows 95
Microsoft included a utility on the Windows 95 CD-ROM that lets you create backups of the Registry on your computer. The Microsoft Configuration Backup program, CFGBACK.EXE, can be found in the \Other\Misc\Cfgback directory on the Windows 95 CD-ROM. This utility lets you create up to nine different backup copies of the Registry, which it stores, with the extension RBK, in your \Windows directory. If your system is set up for multiple users, CFGBACK.EXE won't back up the USER.DAT file.
After you have backed up your Registry, you can copy the RBK file onto a floppy disk for safekeeping. However, to restore from a backup, the RBK file must reside in the \Windows directory. Windows 95 stores the backups in compressed form, which you can then restore only by using the CFGBACK.EXE utility.
Windows 98
Microsoft Windows 98 automatically creates a backup copy of the registry every time Windows starts, in addition to this you can manually create a backup using the Registry Checker utility by running SCANREGW.EXE from Start | Run menu.
What to do if you get a Corrupted Registry
Windows 95, 98 and NT all have a simple registry backup mechanism that is quite reliable, although you should never simply rely on it, remember to always make a backup first!
Windows 95
In the Windows directory there are several hidden files, four of these will be SYSTEM.DAT & USER.DAT, your current registry, and SYSTEM.DA0 & USER.DA0, a backup of your registry. Windows 9x has a nice reature in that every time it appears to start successfully it will copy the registry over these backup files, so just in case something goes wrong can can restore it to a known good state. To restore the registry follow these instruction:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Click Restart The Computer In MS-DOS Mode, then click Yes.
3. Change to your Windows directory. For example, if your Windows directory is c:\windows, you would type the following:
cd c:\windows
4. Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each one. (Note that SYSTEM.DA0 and USER.DA0 contain the number zero.)
attrib -h -r -s system.dat
Following this procedure will restore your registry to its state when you last successfully started your computer.
If all else fails, there is a file on your hard disk named SYSTEM.1ST that was created when Windows 95 was first successfully installed. If necessary you could also change the file attributes of this file from read-only and hidden to archive to copy the file to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT.
Windows NT
On Windows NT you can use either the "Last Known Good" option or RDISK to restore to registry to a stable working configuration.
How can I clean out old data from the Registry?
Although it's possible to manually go through the Registry and delete unwanted entries, Microsoft provides a tool to automate the process, the program is called RegClean. RegClean analyzes Windows Registry keys stored in a common location in the Windows Registry. It finds keys that contain erroneous values, it removes them from the Windows Registry after having recording those entries in the Undo.Reg file.

"Originally published in Spanish in 2010 by Alfaguara Ediciones, Spain, as El sueño del Celta."
"In 1916, the Irish nationalist Roger Casement was hanged by the British government for treason. Casement had dedicated his extraordinary life to improving the plight of oppressed peoples around the world--especially the native populations in the Belgian Congo and the Amazon--but when he dared to draw a parallel between the injustices he witnessed in African and American colonies and those committed by the British in Northern Ireland, he became involved in a cause that led to his imprisonment and execution. Ultimately, the scandals surrounding Casement's trial and eventual hanging tainted his image to such a degree that his pioneering human rights work wasn't fully reexamined until the 1960s."--Dust jacketRelated Searches:

Metsger: 1,100 Comment Letters to NCUA on RBC
Holding a stack of papers, NCUA Board Member Rick Metsger told CU Times more than 1,100 comment letters have been submitted to the regulator on the proposed risk-based capital rule.
"We have a lot of good information here. I think they will make those listening sessions valuable, dynamic and help us reach the right conclusion," Metsger said in a video interview after the NCUA board meeting on Thursday.
Metsger and NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz will hold listening sessions in Los Angeles on June 26, Chicago on July 10 and Alexandria, Va., on July 17.
Matz told CU Times the format for the listening sessions has not been finalized yet. She encouraged credit unions participating in the events to be as specific as possible when voicing their regulatory concerns.
"It's always best to have not only specific comments but solutions, don't just tell us what a problem is, tell us what you think the solution should be," Matz said.

I installed fc-9 on a friends computer. We updated the system and it
went flawlessly. After rebooting we notice that the kernel had been
updated. I rem out the line for the older version in grub.conf. I should
have first made sure it would worked.
Upon booting it failed with the new kernel. I booted to disk 1 of
Fedora and tried a repair. It didn't see /boot or grub in etc. I don't
know why this is? /boot/grub/grub.conf is were it is located. I was
going to use vi and take the rem out so linux would boot to the older
kernel. I couldn't get there? No boot directory visible. I know I've
done this before and it was there. Any ideas?
I edited grub in the boot process and saw f'c9 on the boot line.
Edited it taking out the 'and it worked fine. Once it booted I took it
out for good, but the insures I'll try a boot before just rem it out again.

DETROIT, MI -- Jet Blue Flight 211, destined to Las Vegas from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, made an emergency stop in Detroit to remove a disruptive passenger Saturday.
The short incident, lasting less than 30 seconds, was captured on cell phone video by another passenger.
Witnesses said the man began yelling in another language and tried to jump over seats but was quickly subdued, restrained and seated in the back of the plane where he continued to shout until the plane landed in Detroit and he was removed.
"He was taken for a medical evaluation and actually went home yesterday," said FBI Detroit spokesman David Porter Monday.
The U.S. Attorney's Office decided the man had no criminal intent.
"The aircraft was never in jeopardy," Porter said, and "he was dealt with rather quickly."
It did cause an several-hour delay for passengers of the flight.

I know I said I want Ryan on our roster, but living in Southern California, I´ve seen Bobby multiple times and I think he´s more interested in the glamor then the game. Watching him from behind the Ducks bench I´ve seen multiple temper tantrums. Whether it´s obvious towards the coach or another player, he sure throws a hissy fit. Then comes his attitude towards his name being thrown in rumors. I just feel like he´s kind of a head-case.

Recently I had posted about my homemade version of YUMNUTS. Not too long after making the post Yumnuts Naturals sent me some free samples, so I decided to review them here on my blog. The opinions expressed here are my own.
I was pretty excited when the packaged arrived at my door, containing one 5oz bag of Chili Lime flavor and sample sizes of Sea Salt, Toasted Coconut, and Chocolate. I was skeptical about all of the flavors except for the Chili Lime, which really resonated with me. They closely resembled the Cajun flavored nuts I had bought in the store and made on my own. They had a bit more of a kick to them though, which I liked a lot. At first I thought it was going to be impossible to consume the nuts in one sitting, which I was happy about because I can easily devour a 5oz bag of the Cajun flavor in one sitting. However, I quickly found myself picking the bag back up and polishing them off. As with any nut, these are extremely filling, but also flavorful; they left little to be desired.
Next up was the Toasted Coconut flavor, which I found to be lacking. I'm not a huge coconut fan, but do use coconut flavor fairly frequently in raw food recipes, but the flavor combination didn't do the trick for me. The Sea Salt flavor was the bare bones version of YUMNUTS but were very tasty and just as addicting as the spicy flavors, but nowhere near as tasty. The plus side of these is that the only ingredients in them are sea salt and gum acacia. But if you have read Michael Pollen's Omnivorous Dilemma you will know it's best to avoid such foreign ingredients.
My favorite of the flavors YUMNUTS so far have ben the Chocolate flavored nuts. They remind me a lot of peanut M&M's which was perhaps one of my favorite candies before I gave up eating candy (for the most part). I have already consumed more bags of these than I can count on one hand and look forward to making my own raw version once I get my dehydrator out of storage. For now I will have to do with a mild addiction to a still healthy nut, although less healthy than any of the others.
The Chocolate nuts contain: honey, sugar, cocoa powder, milk powder, and soy lecithin. The biggest disappointment in the Chocolate nuts is that they contain sugar in addition to honey. Why go overboard with the sweetener? Although there is a lot of debate about soy going on, soy lecithin isn't all that bad and is a great source of Vitamin B. Granted these aren't really the healthiest nut you can be addicted to, but it sure beats candy and other sweets. The only truly healthy nut is 100% organic raw nuts, but I am learning that truly raw nuts are hard to find and organic nuts come at a really high price.
So in conclusion, give YUMNUTS a try, but remember moderation is key with anything. I would also like to mention that Yumnuts are roasted, so you don't get as many beneficial enzymes as you would with raw nuts. Also, YUMNUTS don't use any oils to season their nuts, which is good in the sense that you don't have a lot of added calories, but the down side is they are using foreign ingredients (gum acacia) to coat the seasoning on the nuts. Again, it comes back to moderation, so enjoy these healthy snacks. They are an excellent replacement for just about anything you would find in your break room vending machine.
Lately I have been bad about recording down my smoothie ideas and successful concoctions. Not intending to brag, but just about every smoothie I create comes out wonderful! There is the occasional mess up though, but it's usually just too strong in a certain flavor. For example one I made a couple weeks ago contained pineapple and it ended up having a very strong/sharp taste due to having too much pineapple in it.
Most of my creations come about by accident. I don't typically set out to design a great smoothie. What usually happens is I am out of something what I typically make, so I rummage around the fridge and fruit basket to see what I can find.
My most recent creation is a strawberry pineapple mango smoothie. Typically I would just throw in strawberries and banana, but all I had that I thought would work was mangoes. This is actually my go to fruit to mix in when I am out of banana. That has been the case a lot lately since the grocery store seems to only have non-ripe bananas that I have to wait for to ripen.
Anyway, this smoothie is simple and straight forward….
This smoothie is great for relieving inflammation due to the pineapple and flax seed. I have been making a lot of highly anti-inflammatory smoothies lately due to my shoulder bursitis I have suffered since a car accident last June. I previously mentioned this in the Pineapple Grape Smoothie recipe. It does seem the pineapple helps a lot with the inflammation, but as with any food or medicine the effects wear off. So, I'm trying as hard as I can to keep as many anti-inflammatory foods in my diet. Sadly, some things I really like to eat, such as dates are highly inflammatory so they can cancel out other foods. So, it's important to keep an eye on this. Web sites like Nutrition Data will help you determine not only calorie count and nutritional information, but they give you an inflammation index as well.
As a parting note, if you have been following my blog for a while know you may have noticed I used stevia for sweetener instead of agave. This is because I am attempting to include less of this in my diet now. I recently discovered that I possibly have a low performing thyroid, and in order to help improve my thyroid health I am cutting back on sugars. This means less stevia, as well as less bananas. This will be somewhat hard for me as I typically consume a few bananas a day, but I have already started replacing those snacks with healthy raw nuts, with on occasional package of Yumnuts (which I will be reviewing on the blog soon).
I have a big sweet tooth, so making things like Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie will have to become less frequent. Both agave and bananas are really high in natural sugar, and agave being high in fructose is not good in mass quantity. I still plan on continuing to use it in my sports drinks and energy bites though as it is high in crabs and releases slowly into the blood stream for longer lasting energy. This is also why it's safer alternative to sugar for diabetics. But as with anything moderation is key.
Additional Note: This smoothie is VERY high in protein. So, eliminate the protein powder if you want to cut down on this. I think I estimated it had about 28grams total.
Sometimes the unexpected happens, and it's always unexpected! Sometimes it's something as small and petty as running out of gas or losing your car keys, thus making you late for an appointment. Other times it's mind blowing; like your former ex-girlfriend traveling 235 miles (four hours) just to tell you she loves you!
This is exactly what happened to me recently. It was unexpected because I had spent that last four months moving on and focusing on a move to Colorado as I posted here. We had previously dated for 4-5 months two years ago, but broke up after she moved to Austin. I had never truly gotten over her. After a recent attempt to reconnect back in October I decided it was time to cut off communication the following January. It was a very difficult decision, as I cared a lot for this girl. But wanting to be able to move on and love again I decided it was best. I didn't know it at the time, but she took the cutting of ties fairly hard, but at the time it still didn't change how she felt about me.
During the time we didn't communicate I began to "get over her" and eventually got to a point where I could see myself dating somebody else seriously. I had also begun to feel like I was called to Colorado as well as to make a huge career change. In hind-sight I feel like these things were a divine distraction as I had never totally forgot about her. At times I would ponder ways that God could potentially put us back together, such as her getting transferred out to Colorado at the same time I moved, but none of that was even possible considering the organization she works for, and their location.
Four months after I had cut off communication is when I had the surprise of my life. I was at home on a Friday night packing boxes and getting ready for my move to Colorado, even though I didn't yet know when it would be. At one point I had picked up my cell phone and saw that I had a call from her. I was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time wondered why in the world she was calling after I had cut things off. The ironic thing is I hadn't even deleted her from my phone (even though I almost did at one point), so I knew it was her.
Her voicemail stated that she was going to be in town for business the next day and wanted to see if it was okay for us to meet and talk. I figured that she had just heard I was moving to Colorado and wanted to talk to me one last time before I moved. For a moment I thought maybe she was going to tell me she wanted to get back together, but I immediately dismissed it, not wanting to dwell on it and get my hopes up.
The next morning we meet up and ate breakfast at our favorite breakfast place Old West Café. It was here she sprung on me a somewhat long story about the changes she was going through in her life and how she had been given a change of heart. It was even unexpected for her. It sort of come out of nowhere, but we both believe it was God given. She proceeded to tell me that she loved me. I also found out at this point she had made the four hour drive just to tell me she loved me. THAT was her "business".
Being bewildered and guarded I didn't say much. Out of nowhere the girl I had loved for so long shows up out of the blue and blew my mind; and in my mind, at the time, wasting away my plans to move to Colorado. But, I pretty much instantly knew I was no longer going to Colorado and I would be staying behind in Texas. Even though I had said I would never again, not move because of a girl, this was different though – it was love!
So over the next few days I thought and prayed a lot about it. I didn't want to make a rash decision and wanted counsel from friends and family. I didn't want to admit at first that I was going to abandon my plans to move to Colorado, but a friend pointed out that it sounded like I already knew in my heart what I wanted to do. He was right! So, the following Wednesday we talked for about an hour on the phone and decided to pursue a relationship again, but were going to take it easy at first. She also came back into Denton that next week and by the end of the weekend I was positive I wanted to be with her again. The only thing that was holding me back was fear of future rejection and leaving behind what I thought I was supposed to do. But I had to let go of that fear and step forward in faith, and so far it has been amazing.
One thing this has already reminded me of is that we often have our own plans and ideas, but that is not always the best. There is an often a better path for us to take even though they may not seem like it at first and other times the better path is obvious. When doors just open and things fall into place, you just know. But in both situations the end of the road makes you a better person and brings you joy, even if it's through trial.
So, all this to say; my plans to move to Colorado are temporarily on hold. For now I have decided to move to Austin, Texas to be with the girl I love. I'm excited about moving forward, not just because of Kristy, but because of Austin. Although it has always been my second choice I still see a lot of great opportunities here and there is quality rock climbing close by in addition to great hills for running and biking. The future looks bright and lots of change surely lies ahead. And as a side note if you need a freelance web designer or photographer in Austin let me know. I'm available for work!
Okay, I know it's Wednesday, but I'm long overdue for a post. Life has been extremely busy lately. I have been gearing up for a move that will hopefully take place soon. I recently posted Getting confirmation on living the dream, but sometimes plans change. I have come to realize that often times we plan out a path, but God has something else in store for us, big surprises and sometimes disappointments. But in my case, I was thrown a huge curve ball and was pleasantly surprised. To make a long story short (I will post a longer version later) I will be moving to Austin, rather than Colorado, to pursue the girl I first fell in love with nearly two years ago. All I am waiting on before making the move is the sell of my house, which SHOULD happen pretty soon. But I also have to remember that the way I want things to happen may not be best. This could be held up for another month or longer. It has already drug out for two months.
Anyway, on with the smoothie recipe. Yesterday I got back into the climbing gym after not having been in over a week, and prior to that I was lucky if I was getting in the gym once a week. This season has not been filled with as much climbing as I had hoped for. Despite being out of prime climbing shape I decided to run 4×4′s with my climbing friend Scott. Basically you take turns climbing the same route four times, you have on to the next route and repeat the process. You do this until you fall. So, we decided to climb 5.9 routes after warming up on an easy 5.7 climb. We managed to finish 12 laps without any falling, but we both had our first fail at lap 13.
So, we continued on with our 4 laps, getting as high as we could each time. After finishing this, we moved on to bouldering after cooling down on some easier routes. So, in all I climbed about 19 routes and four boulder problems. All this to say, I did A LOT of climbing for being out of shape. I guess it goes to show I wasn't as out of shape as I thought, but needless to say I needed a good anti-inflammatory recovery smoothie.
This smoothie is chock full of anti-inflammatory goodness and protein. As I have mentioned before pineapple contains bromelain that can be used to help treat sports injuries, trauma, arthiritis and other types of inflamation. I also added ground flax seed as well for a balance of omega three and six. The omega three contains the anti-inflamatory properties needed. So without further or do, here is the recipe…
My guess is this smoothie has around 18 grams of protein, I'm not sure what the carb count is, but my guess is around 54 grams, giving you a nice 3 to 1 ration. If you desire something closer to 4 to 1 just eliminate the tahini and replace the hemp milk with water or rice milk.
And don't forget if you are considering buying a Vita-Mix 5200 blender you can get free shipping by clicking through the links here on my site. Granted these coupon codes are all over the internet, but by clicking through here I actually get a commission. I would be very grateful if you purchased through me! This blender is a powerful workhorse, a purchase you won't regret if you are eating a lot of raw foods and making lots of smoothies.

Pay your taxes online this year? Scammers are hoping to grab the attention of the many Americans who filed electronically. Watch your inbox for this latest round of phishing scams that poses as a IRS email.
How the Scam Works:
You receive an email saying your federal tax bank transfer failed. It appears to come from the Internal Revenue Service, but look closely at the "From" line, and you will see another email address.
The email gives a fake account number and urges you to check out the attached file, supposedly a Word Document explaining the details of the failed transfer. But of course, the file is really a virus.
The scammers behind this con are even craftier than usually. Some consumers have reported receiving a follow up email with the subject line "SECOND NOTICE: Your IRS federal tax bank transfer is cancelled."
I Think I've Found a Scam. What Should I Do?

TB: Technical Bulletin /
A Quarterly Econometric Model for Short-Term Forecasting of the U.S. Dairy Industry /
Report summary
Stay Connected
Technical Bulletin No. (TB-1932) 38 pp, January 2012
This report documents the ongoing forecasting activities by USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) that combine judgment-based forecasting with rigorous econometric estimations and data construction that can provide better forecasts than a mostly judgment-based system alone. The formal modeling process gives the forecasting activity at ERS transparency and full documentation on the specification, estimation, and validation procedures employed. Specifically, the econometric models generate the monthly dairy sector forecasts that contribute to the USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. In addition, the model's estimates potentially can be used to examine the structure of the sector and the influence of policy-relevant variables. The merit of various econometric and time series models, however, is more about their ability to forecast effectively than for their potential contribution to policy analysis.
Various estimation methods successfully forecast different endogenous variables, a situation that might change as the sector evolves or as additional data become available and the applied econometric model improves. The ERS model generated projections that outperformed the consensus forecast by USDA's Interagency Commodity Estimates Committee (ICEC) in roughly half of the instances in terms of accuracy and predicting turning points in the data of interest.
The results demonstrate how different methods are preferable, depending on the variable. To produce forecasts in the dairy sector, we cannot rely on a single estimating method. Moreover, the findings suggest that composite forecasting or forecast blending will play a significant role in this process. Careful econometric specification and data development will ensure a successful transition from the mostly judgment-based forecasting system previously used at ERS.
The ERS forecasting model relied on specific characteristics not seen in previous studies of this kind. Specifically, it: • Uses a variety of methods to estimate endogenous variables; • Employs both time series and structural models; and • Uses quarterly data and ex-post forecasting (seldom seen in this type of research).
The estimations highlight certain characteristics of the U.S. dairy industry: • Milk production per cow is seasonal and increases over time. • Herd size movements are cyclical and tied to fluctuations in the all-milk price. • As the margin (all-milk price minus feed cost) decreases (increases), herd sizes decrease (increase) after a number of periods. • Price movement in the all-milk price is correlated to the price of cheese and butter more than whey and nonfat dry milk (NDM). • The dairy sector is highly interlinked (reflected in block recursive structure where variables at one stage serve as determinants for the next).
The model is divided into 4 blocks comprised of 15 behavioral equations and 1 block comprised of 5 identities. Most of the behavioral equations are specified in logarithmic form that permits interpretation of estimated coefficients as elasticities. Each equation within a block forecasts a variable required by ICEC. The blocks are linked in a block recursive fashion such that the first one generates estimates of variables that are then employed as predetermined variables in the second, third, and fourth. The resulting structure produces consistent forecasts across different sections of the dairy sector.
Economic theory typically defines the structural equations in models, although that practice is not as useful in the case of time series models where all variables within each block influence each other. The ERS model is based on quarterly data, beginning with the first quarter when all necessary variables are available (fourth-quarter 1998 or Q4/1998). Possible limitations, with respect to degrees of freedom for estimation, were the main reasons that the system of equations were divided into blocks and also explains why some modeling choices, such as the econometric specification of dairy product prices by means of inverse (price dependent) product supply equations, were made.
Prior to estimating, the various blocks were identified by rank condition to ensure that unique values of the structural parameters could be derived from the reduced form of the system. Estimations of the model were conducted by various simultaneous equations and time series methods that generate different values for the endogenous variables. These results were validated by withholding four quarters of known data and estimating the model, generating an ex-post forecast. The ex-post forecasts were compared with the known values of the withheld data to determine how well the models performed based on data available at the end of first-quarter 2009 (Q1/2009). These projections were also compared with those agreed upon by USDA in early April 2009 for the four successive quarters ending in first quarter 2010 (Q1/2010).

That's what I was afraid of. I do have a small C++ program I got from
our windows guy that does this and it definatly uses assembly to query
for HT capabilities.
I've taken a look through a few things within the WMI libraries, but
hadn't had any luck yet. I'll check the additional places you've
suggested, but as you said I might have to rely on some C/C++ program
for this. As you've stated earlier, everything's in binary and due to
my place of work, we have to compile it inhouse or we can't use it.
(things get 10x harder when they don't supply us with compilers either,

Not for the light of heart, cockroaches
If you've spotted a cockroach in your home, don't shrug it off as an inevitability. If there is one on the premises, there are likely many more. Spending your free time in a house or apartment with cockroaches is a nasty experience. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to remove cockroaches once they've settled into a living space. They'll eat up your food, damage your possessions made of paper and leave their germs all over your home. Let's take a look at some tips to eliminate cockroaches. If one doesn't work, keep trying them and eventually, you'll get rid of those pesky cockroaches once and for all.

EXCLUSIVE: XL Nightclub to reopen as brand-new venue BPM overseen by Susan Buckley and Stuart Black
(The former XL Nightclub)
Over the last few weeks, XL Nightclub has moved many of its weekly events to its Rosebud Lounge as the gay megaclub's interiors have undergone a series of design enhancements. Now, Next Magazine can exclusively report that more than just the club's sound system and seating areas are getting a reboot.
On February 14, the former XL Nightclub will be reopening with a completely new identity. The new name of the venue will be BPM, and Susan Buckley, who has worked with ownership as the brainchild behind the relaunch, and nightlife favorite Stuart Black—best known for mr. Black—will oversee the venture, which they say will remain a gay club. International DJ Danny Verde will spin the grand opening lauching the new weekly party Click Fridays and kicking off BPM's Valentine's Day Unzipped weekend on the 14th, as David Morales mans the booth the following night for a "Keep on Dancin" benefit for GMHC, Lifebeat and Area.
The club's new logo
"Before we began the renovations we had decided to rebrand and come out with a whole new program," explains Buckley of the soon-to-open reimagined space. "Everything is completely new. New name, new identity, new roster of exclusive talent, new management and new promotion. It's all new." BPM will even have a new address, 516 W 42nd St, while Rosebud, the lounge space in front of the club, will remain at 512 W 42nd St.
In addition to the new name, BPM will have a redesigned main level easy access coat check to address patron's frequent complaints, enhanced lighting and sound systems, and improved V.I.P. spaces. There will also be new "on-the-dance floor," 360 degree premium seating. Many of the nights will be completely overhauled as well. DJs Wayne G, Steven Redant, Chad Jack, Mike Cruz and Serving Ovahness are on deck for upcoming appearances.
"We're planning to host major live acts, cabaret shows and performers at BPM," explains Buckley. "Hot Mess will continue to have a home here as will a weekly college Tuesday party at Rosebud in addition to an all new naughty made-for-men party called Click Fridays."
The 14,000 square foot venue will also be partnering with some big names in the coming weeks as well. Tony Moran will be producing major events in the coming year, and Ultra Nate who will be producing an industry party to the venue, not to mention that The Out NYC is the official host hotel of this year's Black Party.
"At its heart, BPM (Beats Per Minute) was created to be a home away from home for the world's top DJs," Buckley says. "We have the best dance floor and sound system in New York and now will have the best talent to match."

Eight years ago, few individuals could conceive how quickly and irreversibly
the face of biomedical publishing would be transformed by the World Wide Web.
At that time, JAMA and the Archives Journals had
been available electronically by various means for several years, but in 1995
the tentative beginnings of a JAMA and Archives Web
site first appeared as part of the AMA's Web site, offering portions of the
journals online.1 By September 1999, the full

Is Volkswagen's (NASDAQOTH: VLKAY ) plan for world domination in trouble?
VW has said that it aims to be the world's No. 1 automaker in sales by 2018. That would mean passing both General Motors (NYSE: GM ) and Toyota (NYSE: TM ) , something it hasn't yet managed to do. But with VW's sales booming in China and holding steady in troubled Europe, analysts have been inclined to take the company's s goal seriously.
There's one wrench in the works, though: After big growth between 2009 and 2012, VW's U.S. sales have started to fall. In this video, Motley Fool contributor John Rosevear looks at why VW's U.S. sales are down this year, and at the German giant's prospects for recovery in what is suddenly a much tougher marketplace.

Friends, Family and Fun 4-H Garden Project
Our gardening program consists of individual raised beds located at the youth members homes and at a youth group community site. We are using 3x5 raised beds. Each of of our children currently have 1 or 2 beds, and the community group has 4. Our kids have loved learning about gardening and raising their own food. They and their families have bennefited from the abundance of fresh picked vegetables. As we are a 4-H club, our members have exhibited their produce in the county fairs. Our community garden allowed our 4-H members the opportunity to teach the Church Youth Group about gardening. Setting up 4 raised beds and using the produce for the youth functions, families, and shared with the Ladies Circle in providing for community functions. We all want to expand the program this year, by adding additional raised beds, planting more, and sharing more. The children are learning about growing, cooking and preserving their own food. Saving food for their families winter use, and donating excess into the community. We as leaders, are using the gardening to teach. Subjects such as general science, math, biology, and food preservation are being taught in a hands on format. Our older children are assisting with the younger and showing parents what they have learned, thus entering into the level of Jr. Leadership. All of our membership want to expand their gardens, and their volume of product. In addition to providing safe, healthy food for their families, they all want to have volume enough to set up for contribution into our community for those who are not able to produce, or can not afford to purchase fresh produce.
About us:
KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

Patient care has always been vital to healthcare. At the same time, patient engagement has always been frighteningly low. Patients have been passive players in their own care, depending on and assuming that 'doctor knows best.'
Today's patients, however, are becoming consumers of healthcare. They are more informed about their options and with more information at their disposal they are becoming more vocal than ever about their expectations for care.
In the past, gaining access to medical records was difficult at best. Now, as paper records are being replaced with electronic data, patients will have an opportunity to take greater control of their healthcare records.
One vocal advocate for patient engagement is Regina Holliday and she has a unique approach. Regina uses art to share her message. She began her mission by painting a series of murals that depicted the need for clarity and transparency in medical records.
She was inspired to do this after witnessing her husband Frederick Allen Holliday II struggle to get appropriate care during 11 weeks of continuous hospitalization at five different facilities. After his death from kidney cancer on June 17, 2009, she began painting. The finished mural is titled "73 cents" and depicts the Holliday family's journey through the medical system.
Now, Regina paints at medical conventions throughout the US. Her paintings present a patient's view, and she hopes others will be inspired by the real need for engagement in their own healthcare. She hopes others will recognize the power of healthcare IT to foster improved communication and care coordination.
Regina explains her calling in her blog:
"The core of my advocacy mission is to provide patients and caregivers access to read and contribute to their electronic health record in a real-time fashion--and thereby be a integral part of the health care team. I decided to focus my advocacy in this direction because I thought it was most likely the greatest opportunity to change the current paradigm of patient care. Why not have patient portals in the EMR? Why not involve patients in EMR workflow design? It has not yet become a habit to leave us out. Health Information Technology is a pry bar or wedge that patients can use to open up healthcare silos and join the conversation."
At HIMMS12, Regina designed a painted jacket as part of her Walking Gallery. Titled 'It's Hosted,' the jacket is inscribed: "Over 50% of Physicians are using Electronic Medical Records." She hopes to remind attendees that meaningful use (MU) requirements of new electronic medical records programs intend to improve patient care and save lives, and make it easier for people to be and stay well.
Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and Regina Holliday at HIMSS 12 photo by Mark Scrimshire
At the event this year, Regina was able to hear the mandate announced for patients to be given the opportunity to view, download, and transmit their medical records online. She said, "It makes absolutely the most sense to do a portal. If a portal's in place, you don't have to worry about 50% of requests fulfilled--you open it up to everyone. Anybody who goes into your facility has the ability to get it through a portal."
Regina was recently featured in HealthcareIT News spotlight, Need to Know: 5 Women in Health IT, which included women who were being recognized for their individual accomplishments in the areas of health IT.
Regina Holliday (@ReginaHolliday) has set up a group on Flickr where people can add photos that reflect a patient's perspective on healthcare and medical treatment. Others can use the photos in their own works free for use in a non-commercial venue.

Thank you for posting this. Only one correction the photos on the flickr page are mostly creative commons so free for use in a non-commercial venue.
I was honored to be in the attendance. Strange coincidence the last book I read was howsyourhealth co-authored by Dr. Benjamin. A simple and powerful idea of what a patient can do to make health and healthcare better. I finished the book on 22nd of Feb and get to meet her on the 23rd at HIMSS.
Regina Holliday - your story was moving, heart-felt and honest. Your pursuit of freeing up medical record from the dogma of "can't do" to "yes we can" for the patient will win. I can feel the movement and I support and salute you.
That is really awesome and very interesting post i like your post its amazing thanks for sharing that stuff with us.

Wearing his uniform — man, it was awesome to see him back in uniform — Russell Westbrook came walking into the tiny room where cameras and reporters waited for him on Thunder media day, plopped down in his chair and flashed a big smile.
"Positive," Westbrook said when asked what his state of mind is right now. "Positive."
That's definitely the spirit and attitude Westbrook gave off during his near 10-minute interview session. Picking up from where he left off post-injury last spring, he was unusually chipper and conversational with the assembled media members, joking, laughing and smiling as he answered questions. He seemed genuinely happy to be speaking with the media. Maybe his knee wasn't the only thing that was operated on this summer.
But really, it's probably just because Westbrook can finally see the light at the end of the dark tunnel he's been in. The first injury of his career, forcing him to watch his team struggle to an unexpected second-round exit. Then surgery, then rehab.
"In the process of rehab you have to be confident that everything is healing as it's supposed to," he said.
But the question everyone wants to know: When will he be back?
"Not sure, man. I'm not sure," Westbrook said. "I just I wake up in the morning, get to my rehab, then go back to sleep and then do it all over again. I just try and take it one day at a time, man. Try not to look ahead. I think when something like this happens, you have to take it slow. There's no need for me to rush ahead to looking at the schedule or anything like that. Just take it one day at a time and find a way to get back."
Scott Brooks said Westbrook will practice, but that his workload will likely be limited.
"He will participate in some of our practices, some of the thing we've planned out three or four months prior to training camp," he said. "The last 24 hours he had a little bit of swelling that we will monitor, but that's pretty common. When you have a surgery, you're going to have some peaks and valleys.
"We've had a plan all along that he's going to participate in some of the practices, early on in the practice," Brooks said. "He's going to continue to do some individual work with Coach Pack."
As for what he's been doing, Westbrook said, "On the court, doing some spot shooting, trying to get my rhythm back. The first day of training camp, I'll be on the floor."
Westbrook hasn't had an official timetable since his surgery, but isn't worried about how long it takes him to get back. He's just focused on making sure he's listening to his body and taking his time.
"I don't know how long the process takes normally. Everybody's body is different," he said. "Once people see a certain knee injury, everybody expects three-to-four months or 10 days. But everybody reacts to certain injuries differently. This is my first time ever being hurt and out this long."
For Westbrook, there remains a little question as to when, but not if. He'll be back, and the expectation is that he'll be back if not to start the season, but early in the season. And when he comes back, who will he be? The same old reckless Russell, barreling through the paint like a wrecking ball juiced up on heroin and Red Bull? Will he change the way he plays with this injury in mind?
"Not at all, he said. "Not at all."
So yeah, sounds like he's still Russell Westbrook.

There was no lack of intensity Tuesday for high school baseball and softball teams. Some rivalries were renewed with district play and there were some competitive non-district games as well.
In baseball, Holy Cross got strong pitching and hitting from Matt Muhleisen to upend Dutchtown 4-3, and Jesuit High School of Tampa, Fla. took down Jesuit (New Orleans) 4-0 thanks to a standout pitching effort by Ronnie Ramirez, a Florida State commitment, who gave up three hits in six innings and struck out seven. St. Paul's defeated Slidell 4-2 in a District 6-5A game, and Dunham got past Runnels 9-8.
In softball, Mount Carmel edged rival Chapelle 1-0, and Curtis remained undefeated by rolling past Riverside 16-0. Curtis' recent strong play has not gone unnoticed, as the Patriots climbed three spots to No. 13 in the latest CBS MaxPreps Xcellent 25 Softball rankings released Tuesday.

In the 1960s and 1970s, two resolutions were passed by the U.N. which have become the cornerstone of Middle East diplomatic efforts. On November 22, 1967, following the Six Day War, the Security Council passed Resolution 242 with the stated intention of providing a solution for the conflict in the Middle East. This resolution called for the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied during the Six Day War, in exchange for the termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.
Similarly, Resolution 338, passed on October 22, 1973, in the midst of the Yom Kippur War, called for the termination of the ongoing armed battle and for negotiations to begin between Israel and her Arab neighbors on the land-for-peace premise of Resolution 242. In calling upon the Arab states to end their war against Israel, and to engage in direct peace talks, the U.N. created a framework for future peace negotiations.
Resolutions 242 and 338 call for Israel's withdrawal from territories as part of a peace agreement. This provision is understood primarily by Israel, the United States and the drafters of the resolution that, as part of a peace agreement, Israel's withdrawal from territories would be consistent with its security needs. However, the Palestinians and other U.N. member states continue to use these resolutions to claim that Israel should withdraw from all West Bank and Gaza territories.

So you want to hold your own mini paintball tournament, but where do you start? There are several things you can do to create your own paintball field. In this article we will be discussing and providing an overview of some of the simple steps you will need to take to make and open your own paintball field!
- Find a Place – This is obvious, but you really do have to find a big enough location that fits all of your basic needs. Your field can be a huge open field, a long and narrow patch of land or whatever you want it to be. There are no guidelines, just that it is a field you would like to play on. Just be careful – don't just go out and find a random location and "dub" it as your paintball field. If it will be on your own property, then great! But make sure you are not stomping on somebody else's private property.
- Make Some Bunkers – A paintball field isn't a paintball field without plenty of bunkers to play with. You can literally use anything you find around the house to use as bunkers: trash cans, outdoor lawn furniture, moving boxes, and even mattresses. Anything you find around the house can be created into a bunker and snake.
- Get Your Paintball Gear Ready – If you do not already have one, you need some basic paintball gear. This includes a paintball gun, paintballs, protective gear, a CO2 tank (if necessary) and anything else you might think of! If you would like to purchase some paintball items, be sure to visit our website at www.hustlepaintball.com for all the best and lowest prices in the paintball industry!
- Invite Friends – Now that you have your paintball field all set up, you have all the necessary gear and items, invite some friends over to have some fun! Play on teams and you can even start your very own tournament right in your back yard (or on the field you decided on). Whatever you do, just simply have fun!
How about you? Have you ever set up your own paintball field or hosted your very own tournament? If so, share your stories and tips for starting your own paintball field. We would love to hear from you!

A politician, political leader, or political figure is someone who is involved in influencing public policy and decision making. This includes people who hold decision-making positions in government, and people who seek those positions, whether by means of election, inheritance, coup d'état, appointment, electoral fraud, conquest, divine right, or other means. Politics is not limited to governance through public office. Political offices may also be held in corporations, and other entities that are governed by self-defined political processes. Public choice theory involves the use of modern economic tools to study problems that are traditionally in the province of political science. In particular, it studies the behavior of voters, politicians, and government officials as ...

(I'm cross-posting this to both newsgroups, since it's X-related, but is
probably a typical newbie question that I'm just now getting around to)
Can someone point me in the right direction to get a handle on when and
how keybindings get assigned and can be changed in terminal emulators?
What's prompted my quest <g> is trying to use KDE on Solaris... I've
tried Konsole, xterm and dtterm, each with various combinations of
configuration settings, stty settings (very little) and such. When I
telnet or ssh from one host to another, and consequently change
terminals, my key bindings go awry.* I don't know where what is getting
set, and I strongly suspect on top of it all KDE is pulling some
strings. Add to that what happens once in vi/vim and you get the
Empirical testing with various settings is getting me nowhere, so it's
time to learn cause and effect. There are apparently so many ways that
things can get altered that I can't really get a good footing until I
learn a bit more. If I can get a handle on this, I can probably cut to
the chase much more effectively.
Does there exist somewhere a reasonably concise and clear explanation
how all this basically works? That is, how key bindings get set for,
say xterm, by the X server and can be later modified? Maybe a guide to
common issues and how to fix them? Googling generates a lot of hits in
general, but they're kinda scattered.
* One particularly ... interesting ... change was when I telneted to our
production backup server and discovered that via that connection, the
Delete key actually functioned as Enter...! Imagine making a dumb
typing mistake, cursoring over to fix it and hitting Delete. That
behavior only happened while in Konsole, BTW.
Maybe I can also apply my newfound knowledge to figure out why the End
and Delete keys generate ~ in my Linux xterm at home, bit only as
root... I guess that's bonus credit :-)
Thanks for any guidance.
