Steps to Overcome Resistance
Steps to Overcome Resistance
The universe has a plan, and an individual plan for you at that. When there is a situation that occurs over and over again in your life, the universe is trying to teach you something and until you learn that lesson…It will keep repeating itself. The universe is trying to wake you up and your resistance can show up as people, situations, or physically in the body.
For instance, if you are having the same partner or type of relationship, then there is an aspect of you that is yearning for growth and change beyond the current, limited situation. This keeps showing up, and that's actually a good thing, as frustrating as it may feel, because you are ready to move beyond this and stop hitting the same blocks.
This happened to me a few years ago when I had the feeling of a sudden loss of control over my life and had built up a lot of resistance as result. Within weeks, we had a flooded basement, found out we had dangerous levels of bacteria in our water, our kitchen sink backed up completely, we had a leak in the house and found a mold problem due to the water issues. Beyond the frustations, it took me awhile, but I realized all blockages were due to the water not being able to flow and causing all this back up as a result. This was a mirror of what I was doing in my own life; putting up resistance to the changes instead of allowing them to happen.
Resistance is really fear of the unknown. And to live our lives, we have to be comfortable with a certain amount of uncertainty. It is much worse to live in fear and resistance and not move forward in life. Usually, what we find is the results are not as bad as we thought. This lets us take the power back in the situation. When you feel resistance, your chakras close, you feel more angst and constriction and inspiration or intuition cant flow to you.
What you can do to let go of resistance and move into a more allowing state:
- Be present: use a simple breathing and grounding exercise, with feet on the floor, no crossed limbs, take 10 deep breaths, counting in for 5, hold for 5 and exhale for 5. Aim to get your inhale as deep as your exhale. This will help ground you, take you out of your head and back in body (and heart).
- Manage your thoughts, if you are going into a loop of negative thinking, listen to them, and release them. Disassociate yourself from them. Be mindful or what you think and what you say. The universe is listening!
- Be aware of your emotions, use them as a compass to know where to go.
- Consider your choices, consider what is possible and remain open.
- Use a simple meditation when walking, inhale to allow yourself to receive and exhale to let go of all that no longer serves you.
"The cave that you fear to enter, holds the treasure that you seek." – Joseph Campbell

Beauden Barrett's spectacular try against France in Christchurch in June 15 last year has been named as the International Rugby Players' Association's Try of the Year.
The talented back, who came on as a replacement in that match, becomes the first New Zealander to win the award after two South Africans, an Australian and a player each from England and Ireland have previously been named as winners. The announcement was made on this week's IRB Total Rugby TV show.
New Zealander Andrew Mehrtens, England's Tony Diprose, Paul Wallace of Ireland and Springbok Thinus Delport formed the panel of judges who opted for Barrett's effort ahead of the four others on the shortlist, which included Barrett's own teammate Ben Smith, Scotland's Stuart Hogg and two South Africans, Jean de Villiers and Zane Kirchner.
Barrett's sensational try resulted from a turnover deep in New Zealand's own 22 as France attacked. The move, which included slick passing from several members of the All Blacks' backline and a clever chip ahead, was eventually finished off by Barrett under the French posts.
Upon receiving the award, Barrett said: "It was a great feeling to deliver this try for the team. Like all tries, the ground work is done on the training field and by your team mates, and the buzz when any of the guys manages to dot down is why we play for each other. I am glad that others enjoyed watching it all unfold.''
Mehrtens added: "With so many great international tries during 2013, involving both individual brilliance and collective effort, it is never an easy process to settle on one try. However, when it came down to it, Barrett's try stood out for the judges due to the high level of skills involved by different players, and, most importantly, the teamwork required to make it happen.''
Previous winners:
2012 - Bryan Habana (South Africa) -South Africa v New Zealand
2011 - Radike Samo (Australia) - Australia v New Zealand
2010 - Chris Ashton (England) - England v Australia
2009 - Jaque Fourie (South Africa) - South Africa v British and Irish Lions
2008 - Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland) - Australia v Ireland

Try Time Kids' Rugby Ltd
Try Time Kids Rugby was set up to bring outdoor rugby based play sessions to kids aged 2-7, providing variation to the normal kids sports in local areas.
Venues are owned by Try Time Kids Rugby license holders and are typically based on a local park or common. They are run by experienced, trained coaches. We have over 100 rugby based games and activities that increase kids enjoyment of sport as well as develop them physically.
We know what keeps kids entertained and enthused and we believe passionately that our rugby play sessions for girls and boys from 2 years old to 7 years old, will give kids the attributes they will need to go on and play the next level of rugby – and indeed any sport they go on to do. A lot of parents, when they hear "rugby", expect tackling and rough stuff. Our play sessions are absolutely NOT about this. We take all the best parts of rugby (hand and foot eye co-ordination, agility, team work, discipline) and put them into games and activities that will move them forward physically and mentally… whilst having loads of fun.
Rugby coaching for young children in: Dulwich, South East London, Wandsworth, South West London, Bow, East London, Richmond, Surrey, St Albans in Hertfordshire

Posted on 09/25/2012 10:38:06 AM PDT by Evil Slayer
Toyota has scrapped plans for widespread manufacturing and sale of a new mini-car that was to be powered as electric only. Reuters reports that Toyota stated they had misread the market and the ability of still emerging battery technology to meet consumer demands.
We would all be a lot better off, if Only Barack Obama and Harry Reid had the same amount of guts as Toyota to admit to making gross errors in judgment. Takeshi Uchiyamada, the engineer who oversees vehicle development as Vice Chairman of Toyota, was frank in stating, two years later, there are many difficulties.
Takeshi is no lightweight. He spearheaded the development of the Prius in the 1990s. When Takeshi talks engineers and students of thermodynamics listen. When Obama and Reid talk, people get screwed or simply choose not to listen.
Obama and Reid are evangelists for green energy, and both of these thermodynamic neophytes took instruction from Al Gore and Steven Chu in playing out the fantasy of lithium ion batteries replacing gasoline in vehicle propulsion. The problem was Obama and Reid did not bring their own money to visit Fantasy Island; we the 53% paid for their expensive tickets.
Americans should all be like Takeshi and frankly state that, after four years, there are many difficulties. Obama and Reid should admit they were wrong and pull the plug on their pipe dream of fully electric vehicles. More than two years ago, I gave outside witness testimony to the US Senate, run by Reid, that lithium ion batteries were simply a Betamax technology. Of course, nobody listened.
Obama and Reid have a real problem with Tesla, the pure electric car from California. Toyota has invested in Tesla and has now admitted the all-electric RAV4 will only sell 2,600 units in total over a period of
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Probably worse than the Prius, which is the worst handling car I ever drove.
Properly named.
Probably the first.. and last one I'll ever see ;)
Uh oh. Guess which country is going to get thrown under the bus over some islands?
I test drove one a couple of years ago. I found the way it took corners dangerous.....like it might flip over. Horrible!
OTOH, the Volt handled well. And it should for 50,000 : )
Well, since Ricardo Monteban is posing with it, at least it must have Corinthian Leather!
Electric vehicles - the coming next Big Thing.
Which it has been for over a century now.
Somehow the battery technology never proves to be as reliable nor as flexible as internal-combusiton engines.
Personally, I believe a well designed steam-powered vehicle stands a better chance of wide acceptance. Abner Doble developed a highly advanced design back in the 1920's, with an almost instant start, a condenser system that was very sparing of water usage, and almost neck-snapping acceleration with a compound steam engine on direct connection to the drive wheels, no clutches, no multiple-ratio transmission system. Reverse was achieved by reversing the engine rotation, through shifting the steam feed to intake and exhaust ports.
Look it up.
In two months were pulling the plug on the GM Dolt.
Pray for America
"Misread the market"??
I thought Government was the only market they cared about in the green biz?
Whats with the VOLT needing a secon engine? Its just dead weight and with a 1 gallon tank.... when the EPA gives us the 4gal miniumum, then what?
You mean RICH Corinthian Leather, don't you?
The two best things about government work are:
1. You get to spend someone else's hard earned money on whatever silly thing you want regardless of the consequences since there are never any consequences to you, (ie you are always putting someone else's "skin in the game") and
2. You never ever have to admit that you were wrong. You just say "We didn't go far enough." If the law/regulation/tax/etc. has the exact opposite effect from its stated goal, then you blame it on not going far enough. In liberal "logic" if a moderate amount of something makes thing worse, then a lot of it will make things better.
Bam bam bam bam!
Not steam but same principal. Exhaust is freezing cold air.

Anyone who has had the privilege of trying Mexican wines can tell you that they are fantastic. The Valle of Guadalupe, just outside of Ensenada in Baja California is home to some of Mexico's premiere wineries. Every year in September, the Association of Viniculture organizes "Fiestas de la Vendemia", a month long festival promoting wines from the region. Unfortunately, many of these boutique wineries do not receive the exposure or the distribution that they deserve. The problem has been getting these wines into the hands of consumers on the other side of the border without charging exorbitant import and distribution fees.

Film PR guru Rebekah Smith suffered from debilitating fatigue for years. But a tailor-made diet programme gave her a second lease on life.

Some doctors still believe that CFS/ME is mostly in the mind, a view that was supported by the influential PACE study. Now the researchers have been forced to reveal that they had inflated the figures
Sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are not getting the proper treatment. The standard approach these days is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)—known as the 'talking therapy', which implies the problem is mainly in the sufferer's head—but this is based on a landmark study whose results were falsified, it has been revealed this week.
Researchers of a controversial study, which had effectively implied that chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is 'all in the mind', have been forced by a tribunal to release their data so that independent researchers can assess their findings.
Since 1989, WDDTY has provided thousands of resources on how to beat asthma, arthritis, depression and many other chronic conditions.

As with many frames in this form, the working edge is formed by the addition of a wooden strip forming a shelf for a run of composition decoration, in this case shield and dart. Here, however, the back edge has been extended with an extra level of timber and in a corresponding way there is a second slip, painted black, which steps the painting back in the frame and leaves a sight edge which is articulated by shadow. The top member of the frame proper has a mitred join across the whole section, but this may be more representative of the original construction than evidence of having been cut down. It is only noted in this one section. The upper left and lower right corners are, nevertheless, sufficiently disturbed to suggest the frame has been cut down at these two joins. The extra depth at the back and the sight edge seem to confirm a major interference with the original form.
- Condition
It is likely the frame has been re-gilded.
- Dimensions
- 145.0 x 117.0 x 12.0 cm; sight 117.0 x 89.2 cm
- About
The frame is labelled on the centre bottom reverse by Daniel Egan but carries a further label on the centre of the right side for Chapman Bros. It is likely the frame was originally made by Egan then recycled in a cut-down and deepened form by Chapman Bros., leaving us to wonder whether these choices were those of the painter or another party.

Skills section is an important part of a Mechanic Resume. While most employers rely on past experiences and qualifications, employers who have the capability to truly understand what is needed in an employee tend to focus on the skills that bring about these qualifications and experience. People who want to work in a technical position often need to show relevant skills as their work demands it.
If you are applying for a position as a mechanic, it will be a good idea to look through the job listing to see what your employer wants in terms of special skills. Almost all employers insist that a candidate, no matter which position, possess excellent communication skills as this is what every other skill is based on nowadays. Remember one thing; no resume is complete without a list of skills and especially a skills-based resume!
Let us talk about a candidate who wants to work as a mechanic; the resume here should be a skills based resume. While there are many different types of mechanics and their skills vary accordingly, we will take a general overview of a maintenance mechanic's skills here.
Sample Skills for Mechanic Resume
• Highly skilled in performing basic electrical and plumbing repairs
• Excellent diagnostic abilities

2001 Country Club Rd. (Alex Onken / American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, November 23, 2013 3:58 PM
By Alex Onken / American Press
Nothing screams Americana like a good barbecue.
There is a world of terminology and what can be a long process to consider with barbecues. Propane or charcoal briquettes? Smoke the meat or to just grill it? Is marinade a factor?
I'm not a real expert on barbecuing. The most I ever do for myself is roast hotdogs over a burner on a gas stove. It's a family tradition.
Blazin K's isn't an eat-in restaurant. The building that the kitchen is in was once an automotive garage. Customers pull in through the back of the establishment, and a server comes out and takes the order.
Our order didn't take too long to make. As soon as I got back into the car after I got some pictures of the sign and the outside of the building, our food was ready. We left for lunch at Prien Lake Park.
I ordered the Cowboy plate, which came with two meats, two sides and a slice of bread. For my meats, I chose the sliced brisket and jalapeño sausage. My sides were coleslaw and potato salad. American Press Staff Writer Justin Phillips ordered a po'boy with the chopped brisket.
To be honest, I'm not overly fond of barbecue. When I was a child, I didn't eat it. For some reason, I could never really elaborate on other than the whole process freaked me out. The idea of raw slabs of meat searing above a fiery pit grossed me out, and I didn't like the smoky taste of the food. I later came around, though.
The meat at Blazin K's was perfect in the fact that it wasn't smoky.
The brisket wasn't seasoned too much, and the edges weren't too crispy, which was nice. The jalapeño sausage that I ordered wasn't too spicy, which was nice, and it was grilled where it wasn't tough and crispy on the outside.
The real treat of the entire meal was not the meats, for me, but the potato salad. Typically, I'm accustomed to a yellow potato salad, made with mustard and boiled eggs. What I believe Blazin K's serves is more of a baked potato salad. The potatoes are left a bit chunky, and instead of mustard, the flavor comes from a chilled sour cream or ranch sauce. The coleslaw was your standard fare.
Justin's po'boy with the chopped brisket was packed with meat. It was definitely made for a carnivore.
For my plate of food and Justin's sandwich, the total was just a little over $25.
This place is perfect for someone who likes barbecue, but isn't crazy about something too smoky tasting.

Title: Blazin' K's
I agree.......decent smoked barbeque........though a bit pricey........and little light.

quote:Both Harper and Vilma took to Twitter after they were informed of their releases:
None of the moves was unexpected, based on a combination of the Saints' salary-cap situation and the players' declining skills or injury issues. But it was obviously a huge and emotional move for the franchise.
"These were not easy decisions to make," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said in a statement. "Since we acquired them, Jabari, Roman, Will and Jonathan have all been excellent players on the field for us. Each of them were integral parts in turning this program around and winning a Super Bowl. They were a great example to our players as team leaders in the locker room as well. ...
"However ... these difficult moves allow us to position our team under the salary cap to move forward for 2014."

Paul Bettencourt, business owner, KSEV Radio personality, and former Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector, won the 2014 election for Texas Senate in District 7 with a commanding 71.8% of the vote.
In his first Legislative Session, Bettencourt wasted no time in bringing about conservative solutions to Texas' challenges. His work recently earned him the distinction of "Most Valuable Freshman" by Capitol Inside. Bettencourt served as the chief Senate sponsor on 25 bills that the Legislature approved this year – three times the combined number that the chamber's other three true freshmen passed in their legislative debuts. This legislation included the passage of the Andrea Sloan "Right to Try" bill, as well as an amendment to SB 1760 that requires a supermajority within a taxing jurisdiction to increase property taxes. Additionally, Bettencourt passed SB 1004, which allows students in Harris County to take dual credit courses from any of the four community colleges inside Harris County, and removes the three course limit that was in place. This has resulted in a 14% increase in student dual credit enrollment from the Spring 2015 to Spring 2016 semester in Harris County. For a full list of legislation Bettencourt was involved in during the session, please click here.
Senate District 7 is one of the most dominant Republican districts in the State of Texas. This Republican voting strength of District 7 was on full display, with voters in the district accounting for 34% of the total Republican turnout countywide in 2014, and voting by almost a 10 to 1 margin in the 2014 Republican Primary as compared to the Democrat Primary.
Senate District 7 is located in Harris County and includes Bunker Hill Village, Hedwig Village, parts of Houston, Hunters Creek Village, Jersey Village, Piney Point Village, Spring, and Tomball.

"Unidym and Battelle have both been approached by customers with strong interests in seeing carbon nanotubes introduced into composite materials," noted Art Swift, Unidym's president and CEO. "For some time now we have supplied sample quantities of nanotubes to a variety of composite materials suppliers and their industrial customers. By aligning with Battelle, we are now able to leverage each other's complementary strengths for the benefit of our customers."
"Battelle and Unidym have capabilities to advance the development and commercialization of high performance composite materials," said Carl Kohrt, Battelle's President and CEO. "We have performed years of research into various applications of carbon nanotubes. Combining our experience with Unidym's materials manufacturing capabilities and foundational patent portfolio provides our clients with an opportunity to accelerate the use of carbon nanotubes in nanocomposite material formulation and fabrication."
The companies have combined resources in this way to jointly approach manufacturers and material suppliers in order to discuss the application of current research, gather specific customer requirements for high performance composite materials and present a licensing program for their intellectual property portfolios. Both companies have seen significant industrial interest in applications such as high performance carbon nanotube enhanced carbon fiber composites, carbon nanotube based thermoplastic nanocomposites that can be injection molded, and thermoset nanocomposites that can be fabricated with various resin transfer molding (RTM) processes and through the compression molding of nanostructured sheet molding compound (SMC) formulations.
In addition to the market interest seen by both Battelle and Unidym, significant academic research has been under way in the area of carbon nanotube enhanced composites. In his article in the February 15th 2008 issue of Science (Vol. 319), after briefly covering the significant findings of his group's recent research in this field, Professor Satish Kumar of the Georgia Institute of Technology states that "Potential applications of carbon nanotube fibers will thus be those requiring high strength and stiffness in tension, high energy absorption, and electrical and thermal conductivity. The low density of these fibers would provide further weight savings."
In the same article, Professor Kumar goes on to conclude "Next generation carbon fibers used for structural composites will thus likely be processed not from polyacrylonitrile alone but from its composites with carbon nanotubes."

Woman grows nose tissue in spine
An unnamed woman had olfactory stem cells from her nose implanted in her spine in an attempt to repair nerve damage. Eight years later, she underwent surgery for increasing pain at the implant site. The cause: a 3-centimeter-long growth formed from nasal tissue, which was secreting mucus, according to a story in New Scientist. Though the tumor was benign, clinics may need to extend their follow-ups with patients to decades after treatment.

Hurricane season is only a week old, but it's already active with two tropical storms hitting the southeastern U.S. This season likely will see more storms than the last few years, forecasters say.
And that gives crooked home contractors a chance to ply their trade. Insurers, government agencies and anti-fraud organizations have stepped up efforts in recent years to warn consumers about contractor fraud. But much of that communication comes after the damage is done. Vulnerable and often-traumatized homeowners are focused on getting repairs done quickly at that point
Such outreach is helpful, but the time to start is when storms approach, not afterward. One insurer in Florida e-mailed its policyholders this week, urging them to "Call before you sign."
"If a contractor promises to take care of ALL of the paperwork, think twice and call your insurance company before you sign away your rights," the message reads "Florida homeowners are becoming victims of insurance fraud because of a common scheme used by a variety of dishonest contractors that abuses the 'Assignment of Benefits' (AOB) law to hijack your claim."
Assignment-of-benefits scams involve contractors who are in cahoots with attorneys. As soon as the homeowners signs over a claim to the contractor, the attorney sues the insurer for repair costs, which may be inflated. The law firm then is entitled to legal fees, often at levels most people would consider outrageous. The attorney then might kick back a few dollars to the contractor.
Consumers usually aren't aware of what's happening behind the scene and probably don't care. They just want their property fixed.
That's why the word needs to get out as soon as storms approach — when homeowners are thinking about the possibility of damage — and before some slick contractor can lure consumers into signing away their valuable policy rights.

The W.G. Kitchen & Bar
Craig and Laura Decker seem to have a difficult time making up their minds. They also seem to have a knack for turning this indecisiveness into an advantage at every turn. When it came to opening their new business, for example, they briefly wondered whether it should feature a wine shop, a wine bar, or a gourmet bistro. Their solution? All three.
This spirit of inclusivity pervades The W.G. Kitchen & Bar, where the Deckers pair seasonal wine varietals with globally inspired cuisine. Rather than choose between European elegance and New-American pizzazz, they settled on a compromise they describe as "Old World chic." This label suits a menu that features small plates of housemade meatballs and bruschetta alongside assorted cheeses from around the world. The focus on small plates is in keeping with the Deckers' have-it-all mentality and gives diners the option to sample several dishes without having to barter with adjacent tables.

observer ONLINE
is facing a potential power vacuum after its president left office with
no elected successor, and rivals argue over who will now take control.
Before he walked out, pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud said that the
army should take charge.
But pro-Western PM Fouad Siniora says that under the constitution he
and his cabinet are temporarily in power.
The crisis has raised fears of civil strife, including the
possibility of rival administrations.
The tension was palpable on the streets as the crisis over electing
the president came to a head, with the army deployed in force and
schools closed, says the BBC's Kim Ghattas in Beirut. Shortly before
midnight on Friday, when his term officially came to an end, Mr. Lahoud,
71, walked out of the Baabda presidential palace as the national anthem
played, ending nine years in office.
AFP news agency quoted him as telling reporters: "If they do not
elect a new consensual president, with the required two-thirds majority,
we have men who can stand up." He refuses to recognise the government,
and had said he would pass power to General Michel Suleiman. The general
has not said what he intends to do.
The latest in a series of attempts to find a new president failed on
The president is elected by parliament, but a vote was scuppered
after the pro-Syrian opposition did not allow the necessary quorum to be
achieved. A new vote has been scheduled for 30 November.
The US has urged all parties to remain calm and said that under the
constitution the Lebanese cabinet should "temporarily assume executive
powers and responsibilities until a new president is elected".
A few hours before his term was due to end, Mr. Lahoud issued a
statement via a spokesman, Rafiq Shalala.
"There are conditions and risks on the ground that could lead to a
state of emergency," Mr. Shalala said.
The BBC's Kim Ghattas says the country appears to be in the ultimate
political limbo, with the rival parties even in disagreement over
whether a state of emergency exists.
However, constitutionally Mr. Lahoud could not call for a state of
emergency without the backing of the government he did not recognise. A
spokesman for Mr. Siniora told AFP news agency: "The statement issued by
the general directorate of the president of the republic is not valid
and is unconstitutional. It is as if the statement was never issued."
Our correspondent says the one thing everyone does agrees on, at least
for now, is that they do not want a return to violence.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › short backpack in Pisgah National Forest
Jun 25, 2006 at 8:07 pm #1218876
shannon stoneySpectator
This past weekend I went on a short backpack in Pisgah. We only hiked in a short way because one of our party is handicapped. But this turned out to be a beautiful little hike for beginner backpackers or children or the elderly. It is the Pink Beds Loop in Pisgah National Forest in western NC, near the Cradle of Forestry museum there.
We started on the north part of the loop, leaving from the Pink Beds picnic area. The Pink Beds are named for the rhododendrons that had just finished blooming. The trail is smooth, wide, and level, and does not ascend or descend much. On your right are several large clearings that are maintained by the forest service as clearings for deer and turkeys. Any of them would be nice camping places; we chose the last one. There is a nice stream right by it, handy for water. There are also trees convenient for hanging bear bags high enough, and enough space for a lot of tents, should your party be large.
After we made our camp, some of us continued around the Pink Beds loop, which is about 4 miles total I think. This is a nice trail, but the bridge over the South Fork of the Mills River was out. We knew it was, but we thought that the logs we saw lying across a smaller stream was the "out" bridge: one of the logs was broken. So we crossed it and ended up on another trail that took us into the Pink Beds through a lot of laurel thickets and eventually petered out. We had to retrace our steps back to the SF of Mills River, and wade across the river to get back on the Pink BEds loop proper.
We saw some beaver ponds and some wild orchids. It is a very nice trail and I highly recommend it, as long as you make sure not to end up on that false trail that goes down into the laurel thickets.
This is a perfect short backpack for families with children or parties with handicapped people or old people.Jun 27, 2006 at 7:17 pm #1358617

Hi Elizabeth, a friend of mine wants to take his 4 year old son backpacking with him. this will be the boys first trip and the pink beds loop sounds like it would be a good trail for him to start on. When you say you went North from the picnic area do you mean you started going left around the trail,not right going up the trail following south fork mills river? Also If we go up the trail how will we know when we get to the last clearing where you camped. It sounds like a good place to camp,how will we recognize it?

They're a smart following, I'm reliable they can see a course of action to become that happen.
Because then 1 disc could be passed surrounding to hundreds of users...... But i agree, it would be richer reconsider to not need the disc. Good-natured of like how xbox everybody was at first designed to work...install the disc, then set it away....... prior to the entire DRM fiasco. Now we experience a soothe that isn't "perpetually online", in an age where games are unplayable without sizeable patches, and VARIOUS games demand an online friend at court anyway. I was freaked out by way of the drm policies too, but there were some innovative ideas buried in there.
It's simple. A united together activation when you pre-eminent download it. If you pass it everywhere or sell it and someone else activates it, yours stops working and you keep to steal it to play. You'll bring to light well what if you unplug your calm so it's not in any way online. Then you learn to place that game. Fine. Through all means out the yourselves who unplugs the internet play away to their nub's content. But cause to's look it 95% of the consumer undignified on Xbox One is always online anyway. They drive log in at some point. Rely on me, they will.
Microsoft tried back to front compatibility with X360 and the inception XBox
also. It also single had limited compatibility. While pleasant, it's a
marketing ploy and not undeniably unswerving counter-clockwise compatibility since it's
merely contemporary to brace 100 games. They promised more compatibility with X360 and the opening Xbox and nothing came of it.
About no more than 51% of the autochthonous Xbox library is compatible with the Xbox 360.
After a insufficient depressingly disciplined months of Games with Gold (save for Big Chalice, of course), Microsoft has entranced a move in the satisfactorily road in search the month of July. In celebration of the two-year anniversary of Games with Gold, Microsoft announced on Thursday that Xbox One owners with Gold subscriptions discretion contemporarily go places a be friendly two modish unfasten games every month.
On the primary age of the month, the triumph relaxed Xbox Sole scheme resolution detect the Xbox Games Stow away, and then the flawed thinks fitting dirt on the 16th of the month. Both games force be ready to download quest of 30 days after they launch. The Xbox 360 organize longing abide the same.

Show Detailed Description
Radiotherapy with or without adjuvant chemotherapy represents an important column of modern therapy in advanced squamous cell originated tumours of the head and neck. However to date no studies are available which study the effectiveness of radiotherapy in patients with resected small tumours (T1, T2) and concomitant ipsilateral metastasis of a single lymph node (pN1) for general treatment recommendation. The present study is designed as non-blinded, prospective, multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) for comparison of overall-survival as primary clinical target in patients receiving radiation therapy vs. patients without adjuvant radiation following curative intended surgery. Aim of the study is to enroll 560 adult males and females for 1:1 randomization to one of the two treatment arms (radiation/non-radiation. Secondary clinical endpoints are as follows: Incidence and time to tumor relapse (locoregional relapse, lymph node involvement and metastatic spread), Quality of life as reported by EORTC (QLQ-C30 with H&N 35 module) and time from operation to orofacial rehabilitation.

Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg's "Social Network"
Teaming up for red carpet duties, Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg attended Columbia Pictures' and The Cinema Society's screening of "The Social Network" in New York City on Thursday night (September 29).
Held at the School of Visual Arts Theater, the co-stars were joined at the screening and afterparty festivities by celebrity guests such as Petra Nemcova, Adrien Brody and Katrina Bowden.
Recently talking with MTV News about the film - which hits theaters on Friday, October 1 - Eisenberg spoke about avoiding online gossip sites so he isn't hurt by what he reads.
Jesse tells, "I know that I'm written about online — we're all written about online. It's incredibly painful to read it, so I stay off of it. People can write things that are terribly cruel because of the anonymity of the Internet."
But this wasn't always the case, as he remembers rumors of his name being connected to "The Social Network" just last year, as Eisenber jokingly said, "I read about that online. I searched my name every day. I did it manually, because Google Alerts you can't trust. I had a lawyer do it for me in my bathroom."
Enjoy the pictures from the screening of "The Social Network" (September 29).

Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - Despite UN Security Council condemnations, North Korea said it will continue launching satellites under its space programme that outsiders see as a pretext to test long-range missiles.
The North Korean Committee for Space Technology, which was behind the failed rocket launch a week ago, said North Korean "satellites for peaceful purposes will be put into space one after another," in an English-language statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency late Thursday.
The committee did not elaborate on when the next rocket launch would be.
The committee also accused the United States of seeking to strip North Korea of its right to space development with food aid, saying the move is "nothing but a foolish dream".
"Our army and people have lived without any US 'support,'" the committee said.
"We have all substantial foundations for enabling our people to fully enjoy wealth and prosperity under socialism, without tightening their belts any longer."
Earlier on Monday, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper in Japan said the North's launch of Kwangmyongsong-3 was part of the communist state's five-year space programme.
The committee said North Korean scientists and technicians have completed work to ascertain why the rocket launch failed, adding that it never acknowledged the UN Security Council's resolutions, which it called products of the enemies' evil scheme.
North Korea on Tuesday rejected the UN Security Council's presidential statement which condemned the North's rocket launch, calling it "unreasonable," and vowed to continue to exercise its right to develop space programmes.
The presidential statement, signed by all 15 members of the Security Council, stated that the Sanctions Committee would expand the list of North Korean entities subject to asset freezes and identify more proliferation-sensitive technology to be banned for transfer in and out of the reclusive state.

small holes in drywall mud
We are wiping down the drywall to prepare it for the primer. We noticed as we were wiping down the mudded area tiny holes have appeared. Is this normal? Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what is the easiest way to fix them?
Sand lightly and re-skim. These are air bubbles that you are removing the tops of.
Mixing the mud first help resolve this also. It makes it nice and creamy with less air pockets.
Thanks sooo much! Both suggestions have been very helpful!
You will need a couple of coats to properly fill-in the air holes.
The reason why they didn't show up before is because they were filled with the drywall dust. When you wiped the walls down, the dust came out.
not a big issue - very common.
Good Luck...
Thanks very much! Every bit of info helps!

Prostate Cancer Overview
Page 2 of 2So, what can we take from all this? Well, prostate cancer is a very common disease in men, but it progresses slowly and the overall survival outlook for men is quite good because the disease is easily treated and often cured. Diagnosis and treatment methods are constantly improving, such that if you are diagnosed today, your chances of survival are likely higher than those statistics above.
Who is at risk for prostate cancer?Not all risk factors for prostate cancer have been identified, but some risk factors are apparent:
- Prostate cancer is rare in those under 40.
- The risk increases significantly after age 50.
- More than 60% of all prostate cancers diagnosed are in men older than 65.
- The average age of diagnosis is 70.
- Prostate cancer is much more common in black men.
- Black men are more than twice as likely to die from prostate cancer than Caucasian men.
- Prostate cancer is less common in Asian American and Hispanic/Latino men.
- The reason for race differences is not clear, but it is likely that socioeconomic, dietary and genetic differences all influence an increased risk for black men.
Family history
- Prostate cancer seems to run in families.
- Having a brother or father with prostate cancer almost doubles a man's risk of disease.
- Some inherited genes cause an increase risk, but very few have been identified.
- There is no genetic testing available for prostate cancer.
- Men who eat a lot of red meat or high-fat dairy products are at a higher risk for prostate cancer.
Now that you are familiar with the basics of disease, let's have a look at prostate cancer symptoms, screening, and diagnosis.

DIY Aquascape/Background for 55g ~Video Reveal
Here's my situation. I'm a senior in college (one semester left!) and have a 55g African Cichlid tank and a 10g planted community. The 55g is quite tricky to move back to my apartment at school (6 hours drive) but it's doable. What makes it extra tricky is I aquascape my tank with sandstone tiles. They are heavy and I don't want to keep them in my tank during the trip because I don't want them to break the glass. I normally have to put all of the sandstone pieces into a plastic container which takes up valuable space in my Ford Explorer.
To solve this dilema I'd like to build a DIY foam and concrete background and aquascape. The plan is to get at least one 8'x4' sheet of insulating foam from my local hardware store and cut that down to size to make a rock background. Cut out "rock pieces" from the remaining part of the sheet to bring the background into the 3rd Dimension. I'd cover the background in concrete and then silicone it to the back wall (and perhaps use some burried rocks to keep it against the glass and not floating.
NOTE: the background (and aquascape) will need to be in at least three pieces because my tank has a center brace.
The tricky part will really be the aquascape. I want to build up a realistic looking scape, ideally reminiscent of Lake Malawi but upon more thought that may be tricky to do. The aquascape must accomplish a few goals
1) Cover up/hide the aquarium equipment including the filter intake/outflow, heaters, and powerheads
2) Provide ample hiding places and cover for fish of all sizes and have open spaces for swimming
3) Not restrict the light to the tank (the light is mounted 5+" above the tank so this may not be much of an issue)
4) Look awesome (because it's going to be a permanent aquascape)
The aquascape will be built off and blend with the backround. I plan on using the foam sheets from the local hardware store and foam inserts that come in some packaging. Those should be able to give me random pieces that can be cut down and form rocks.
An interesting thought I had was caves and hiding places can be built and supported with PVC (white) or Electrical conduit (dark gray) tubing. That may provide a safe and easier way to provide caves and hiding places.
Does anybody have any experience with building a background/aquascape and have any suggestions on how to build this. I head back to school most likely on the 20th of January and want to have it soaking in a tub outside a couple of days before then to finish off the pH spike.
Other thoughts I have had is creating individual rocks out of concrete and foam and using super glue/guerilla glue/fragging glue to permanently stitch them together. Using real rocks would make the setup too heavy to move IMO
Thanks. Here's a shot of the tank for your reference.
Here's my progress on the background/aquascape.
I figured out where each piece of equipment will be. I then decided how I wanted the water to flow through the tank and made sure the equipment (heaters, powerheads, filter parts) were in locations that would allow for their proper performance.
I cut the 2'x8' foam to fit the tank. We will use two sheets the dimensions of the tank, one as a "spine" and a second for decorating rocks.
I marked out where the equipment will be and how I wanted the decorating background rocks to be appear.
I had to cut my background into three sections in order to fit it into the tank. My tank is a standard 55 gallon setup which has the center brace.
I cut out the rocks and locations for the equipment and shaped the rocks by trimming the edges with a knife and sanding to blend. I marked each rock with a number to keep the spot. I marked each location and rock with a number.
Let's let the glue dry overnight. :)
I'm now working on building the aquascape up and completing the equipment chambers. I hope to be concreting this weekend.
After the glue dried
Sideish view of arch
Now it's time for GreatStuff Expanding Foam for blending and gap filling
I've done a couple paludariums using styrofoam to form the structure, and then coated it with an epoxy/sand mix. Same thing would easily work for just a backdrop.
The folks over on dendroboards have done some great backdrops with the greatstuff expanding foam.
right now I'm messing with a block of pumice I got from a landscape supply place, but I don't think it would work well for an entire background, I'm thinking of just using a couple pieces.
If you want a looong read (lol) the link below my signature to the twin 29g tanks is all about my first DIY background build. I read all I could off the cichlid forums because it's common for them to make DIY set-ups. Some use concrete, some use Drylock, which is what I did. No long curing/tank flushing time like concrete, and no weight. Drylock is very, very light. I'll go find the DIY sticky on the cichlid site & paste it soon.
In my next tank I'm going to make good sized faux rocks as well, with large planting pockets built in so I can lift and move plants - rooted plants as well as java ferns, bolbitis and anubias and such - easily from place to place, or to another tank.
Here's the link, lots of info here;
i have made a few styrofoam BG myself. Here is the one i made for my 75g. The total cost was probably around $50 if i remember correctly. I used ONLY a steak knive to the carving. It took me a considerable amount of time to complete it.
If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
That's an outstanding carving job - any pics of it in the tank? I get a little algae growing on mine and it only adds to the realism. I bet this one looks stellar (I was going to say it rocks, but it sounded so dumb! lol)
i took the rim off the 75g because the rim was cracked. I left it off, build the BG. Installed that BG and bought a new rim and the tank cracked while i was installing it. I frantically looked for a replacement 75 on GL and at my LFS, BUT there wasnt any on CL and the LFS wanted my first born for a new one.
So i bough my 125g with a stand for less than the price of a new 75.
So i sold that BG:icon_sad:
BUT i do plan to build another someday
Thanks for the replies. @Chad that looks amazing!
I'm currently covered in foam from cutting everything. I like how this is turning out except I wish I had cut the back board slightly different than I had. I did one side curvey and then found out that cutting it with straight lines is much easier...but I also don't think it will look as good. We will see how the seam looks when it gets concreted.
That's my plan actually :D
That way I make some mistakes and people can learn from them
thats the GREAT thing about the foam.
you can add another layer to the back, and completely redo the carving.
When I glued on the base rock pieces I overlapped some of them onto the gaps to break up the seam and especially take out the corner cracks on the straight cut section. I think this will look much better.
I also have a soldering gun. Will that work well to blend and smooth out some pieces without destroying my soldering gun?
here's one I did for a 55g malawi tank a few years ago. styrofoam covered with cement
