Back To Business - Bouncing Back After Sandy
Rockaway is back in business a year after Sandy, even if it's not quite business as usual. In its wake, Sandy left a trail of damaged stores, offices and companies. Some bounced back quickly, some never did at all. Some struggled mightily for months and some sprung up from the ashes.
Although damage was vast, there are signs everywhere that Rockaway is blossoming.
In the initial days and weeks after the storm, some local businesses put money making on the back-burner and devoted their time to serving the community in any way they could. Dalton's Seaside Grill sustained significant damage and lost all of the equipment and stock in the basement to floodwater. However, owner Chris Dalton and his brother, Michael, devoted their time to helping the neighborhood. "It wasn't a time to worry about the bar and restaurant. We were worried about the community," Dalton said. They opened up a soup kitchen and offered free food, water and supplies. "It turned out to be a really good move because the turnout was awesome. A lot of people got good use out of it."
Suncycle Studios also opened up as a supply center with Kenny Pena grilling up hot meals for residents while other staff members collected and distributed coats, blankets, shoes, canned goods, baby items and cleaning supplies to those who needed it. The studio was open for exercise by December and free classes were offered throughout the month before the studio returned to normal operations.
Many local business owners are also Rockaway residents and had to balance repairing a home while trying to get business back up and running again. Katy Bree Grey, general manager of the Bungalow Bar says the Tubridys, who own the restaurant, spent much of their time focusing on the community and helping out their families. "They didn't think about the bar for the first few weeks. They were getting out and helping friends and family whose houses were destroyed," Grey said. "It took two to three weeks before they decided that they had to reopen for the community." Ellen and Tom McDonagh, who own the Blackwater, had to deal with repairing their home basement and replacing their boiler while struggling to get the bar back up and running. "The storm would have just crippled us if we didn't start and rebuild," Ellen McDonagh said. She noted how important it was for all businesses to make a comeback after the storm. "If businesses didn't open, the neighborhood wouldn't be doing so well. Without business, what kind of neighborhood would you have? You need business for economic growth and jobs."
Sandy gave some business owners the chance to make big changes. Through the Small Business Storefront Improvement Program, nineteen business owners on Beach 116th Street received a full storefront makeover, leaving the block looking better than before as stores have new awnings, signs and outside designs. Beach 116th Street was also joined by Curran's Superior Meats, which moved from its former location on Beach 129th Street.
Some restaurants have had the opportunity to redo the inside during the recovery process. Rockaway Seafood Company had a complete transformation as owner Christopher Miles reopened the location as a Mexican restaurant this October. The Bungalow Bar, with the help of Spike TV show, "Bar Rescue," was able to get a complete makeover as well. "There's definitely a big difference," Grey said, noting that the bar is much brighter than before. Bar Rescue helped repair the restaurant and provided them with lamps, TVs, a juke box and more. The restaurant was fully open in time to kick off the summer season on Memorial Day weekend.
Some businesses opened up as much as they could in desperate times. Sandy shut down The Wave for the first time in more than 100 years after the entire downstairs office was destroyed by water. "We had to come back to get information out. It was important for us to be there," publisher Susan Locke said. New computers and furniture had to be bought and The Wave staff moved to a compact upstairs space. The paper was back in print on November 30th, 2012, a week after the office had electricity. Thai Rock opened up the back deck for the summer, even though the inside was still being renovated. The back bar was open and a limited menu was available while Rockaway Jet Ski was in operation throughout the season on the bay. The inside of the restaurant opened to the public on October 4th.
While some businesses were able to return, many old favorites have not come back yet. Fire damage took out entire buildings completely during the storm, leaving some businesses reduced to ash. The Harbor Light restaurant in Belle Harbor is still not back, but plans to rebuild are in the works. An entire strip of businesses were lost along Rockaway Beach Boulevard. Some of them including Nationwide Insurance, Lew Simon's office, Papa John's, Dr. Ilya Kleyn's medical office, Rockaway Perfume, the European Hair Salon and Leon's Shoe Repair. Some of these businesses have since reopened in new locations, like Leon's Shoe Repair which is now open across the street from the fire zone. A majority of the burned down lot, from 114-02 through 115-02 Rockaway Beach Boulevard is currently up for sale as a commercial/ mixed-use development site by CPEX Real Estate. The price tag: $2,950,000.
Despite having different challenges to overcome, many business owners seemed to share in the fact that they had to come back on their own. They explained the struggles of trying to get help from insurance companies, FEMA and the Small Business Administration without much luck. Local businesses suffered huge losses and for the most part, were left to pay for them out of pocket.
Rockaway has also seen a boom in new businesses since the storm. Robin Scott, co-owner of the new Playland Motel said he and Jamie Wiseman had purchased the property three months before Sandy and had already started doing work to transform the building. When the owners purchased the old Tap & Grill from Andy Cholakis, they kept a promise to him that they'd take good care of the property. They weren't expecting five feet of water to ravage the place, but they were determined to pick up the pieces. "We were never going to leave it," Scott said. "It took a lot of fighting and hard work, but we got it back and operational as quickly as we could." In the first few weeks, Scott says he and Wiseman devoted their energy to helping the community before working on the building. The building, complete with motel rooms, a bar and restaurant featuring brick oven pizza, officially opened on July 3rd and served as a hip new hangout for locals and visitors over the summer.
Rockaway also got its first wine bar since Sandy. Rashida Jackson, of Far Rockaway, and Patrick Flibotte, had plans of bringing a wine bar to the area for five years. They signed their lease on the property at 91-11 Rockaway Beach Boulevard shortly before the storm. Sandy flooded the entire property, leaving Jackson and Flibotte with parts of the boardwalk in the backyard, trash in and around the building and having to completely start from scratch after ripping everything out. Yet that didn't hold them back. "It was more of an incentive to work harder," Jackson said. "We wanted to keep going and work as hard as we could." She explained that she "wanted neighbors to come to the place and have the backyard as an oasis to escape from all the things that happened this year. I wanted to let everyone to come together and relax." Flibotte, an artist, built most of the contents and furniture for the space by hand. The wine bar, which offers small plates and carefully selected wines from different surf communities around the world, officially opened on June 21st. Jackson noted that people from Far Rockaway to Breezy Point have come by the new spot, showing their support, "This is a dream come true," she said.
Rockaway has also gotten a taste of new cuisines and cultures since Sandy. Uma's at 92-07 Rockaway Beach Boulevard has been a popular dining choice since it opened on July 23rd. Owner Conrad Karl and his wife, Uma, of Uzbekistan, had been planning to open a Central Asian restaurant for two years, but after Sandy hit, the perfect space had become available. "Because of the storm, it really prompted us to make the move to open," Karl said. After cleaning out and repairing their own Rockaway home, the Karl's started working in January to focus on making the restaurant a possibility. "Our main motivating factor was to bring something new and interesting in Rockaway," Karl said. Residents have been very welcoming of the new cuisine. Karl noted that residents from all across the peninsula stop by for a bite. "Some come out two to three times a week. It's really great to see. It's become a local restaurant hangout," he said.
Many long-term business owners agree that the new businesses in town have been a good thing. "Every business supports every other business. It's exciting to see other people killing it out there with their restaurants," Grey said. "It's a great thing to see the rejuvenation of the neighborhood."

Tennessee athletics director Mike Hamilton announced Tuesday that Tennessee and Oklahoma have agreed to square off on the gridiron in 2014 and 2015. The Volunteers will travel to Norman, Okla., Sept. 13, 2014, before the schools face one another in Neyland Stadium Sept. 12, 2015.
"This matchup is another opportunity for two of the great traditional college football programs to meet on the field," UT athletics director Mike Hamilton said. "Both programs have storied histories and rank among the NCAA's top 10 in all-time total wins. Since 1926, Tennessee and Oklahoma rank first and third, respectively, in overall victories."
Despite each program's standing among the nation's elite, Tennessee and Oklahoma have met only twice, with both games taking place at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla. The Vols shut out the Sooners 17-0 in the 1939 Orange Bowl (UT's second bowl game ever). Then in the 1968 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma posted a 26-24 victory to even the all-time series at 1-1.
Since legendary head coach Gen. Robert R. Neyland coached his first team at Tennessee in 1926, the Vols have won more games (618) than any other school in the country. Oklahoma ranks third nationally with 602 wins since 1926.
The last time Tennessee faced an opponent from the Big 12 Conference in the regular season was the 1997 season-opener against Texas Tech, as the fifth-ranked Vols defeated the Red Raiders 52-17 in Knoxville.

I am concerned with scar placement, dogears and irregularities on the hips. While the picture is 1 month post-op I understand I should see the final result by now. My question is...does this look like the norm for 1 month out? Should I be concerned with the fatty pockets and dogears? I know revisions aren't recommended until 6+ months but I'm stressing out over a less than impressive (in my opinion) result. Any advice or feedback welcome.
Fatty Pockets and Dog Ears 1 Month PO Tummy Tuck, is This the Norm?
Doctor Answers 14
This is not a very good result.
That being said, this really is a pretty sad result, and you have every right to expect your surgeon to be equally disappointed. Check the credentials of your surgeon--is he or she an American Board of Plastic Surgery-certified plastic surgeon? Not just a "board-certified" surgeon, since there are many "real" boards that have nothing to do with plastic surgery, as well as a few "bogus" boards. See my article on my About page on "Why Board Certification is Critical When Choosing a Plastic Surgeon" for more information.
If your surgeon is not equally chagrined about your result, get other consultations with experienced ABPS-certified plastic surgeons; you will need a revision for the best result, and it will be substantially better than what you have now. Each one of my 7 examples in the link below is one operation, at varying degrees of scar maturation. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

One month from tummy tuck, is this the norm?
No, it is not the norm. I don't want to make you feel bad, but this is nothing like I have ever seen in my practice in the 25 years that I have been doing tummy tucks. (I actually saw a patient who looked like this on this RealSelf board with a similar result asking if this was a normal result. It is not.) The upper incision can be a bit longer than the lower incision, and sometimes there can be some mild gathering. Mild gathering will settle, this degree of gathering will not. I also do not understand chasing dog ears in a downward direction, and still leaving huge dog ears. I think you will need a revision. The good news is that a revision will help you achieve a better result. The bad news is that you need to wait several months, and, of course, go through another though hopefully more limited surgery to attempt to fix this. Please check on the credentials and training of your surgeon. If he or she is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, then have an honest discussion about what went wrong and how it can be fixed, including getting second opinions if needed. If your surgeon is NOT certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (but instead by some other non related or non-ABMS recognized "board") then you need to find a surgeon who is.

Tummy Tuck Recovery and Dog Ears
It is difficult to completely evaluate your tummy tuck result without seeing your before tummy tuck photos, however, I agree with other posters and, unfortunately for you, do not consider this a normal tummy tuck result 1 month postoperatively.
Your dog ears are much larger than usual and while I'm sure you still have some swelling, it does appear that your surgeon left a significant amount of excess skin and fat on your abdominal wall. The skin laxity and appearance of fatty pockets will likely get worse as the swelling decreases.
The good news here is that this a correctable problem and you have a very nice shape overall. I strongly recommend that you wait at least 6 months before undergoing a revision tummy tuck surgery; this will allow the swelling and scar tissue to settle down making your revision surgery easier.
Additionally, I recommend you get a second opinion from a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You can find a board-certified plastic surgeon by visiting the American Board of Plastic Surgery website.

Dog ears after tummy tuck
At one month after surgery, it is normal to expect some degree of puffiness at the ends of the incisions. In your case, though, even after the swelling is gone it looks like you will have extra skin. It probably won't be a major procedure to trim the extra skin, though. To remove all of the extra skin at the first procedure requires making the scar longer, obviously. Allowing for some contraction and then removing a small dog-ear later will result in a shorter scar in the long run.
Revision surgery for poor tummy tuck result.
I am afraid that your result is not typical for a tummy tuck. The excess tissue at the edges of the incisions is unlikely to flatten and a revision procedure is likely. I would recommend seeking a second opinion only from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area for the correction.
Web reference: http://www.drbogue.com
You will need to have revision
Your results are not acceptable and I would think that your surgeon is not happy with result either . If he or she would consider this as a acceptable result, please find another board certified plastic surgeon. You may continue to improve ,but the pattern of incision and raised scar will not change much.
Tummy Tuck Result?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Although your surgeon likely had good intentions to keep the incision as short as possible, the "dog ears" present on either side of the incision line are not acceptable and will likely require revision surgery. Assuming your surgeon was a board-certified plastic surgeon continue to follow and express your questions and concerns.
Best wishes.

Tummy Tuck Recovery and Dog Ears
Thanks for posting the pictures. It would be great if you could post some before pictures as well. You may not want to hear this, but for the sake of all the other people looking at your photos, this IS NOT what you should look like one month after a tummy tuck. You should have a visible incision, but nothing like yours. You are most certainly going to need a revision surgery to remove the dog ears. My Advice would be to let it settle for a least 3 to 6 months and then have the revision surgery.
Good Luck

Fatty Pockets and Dog Ears 1 Month PO Tummy Tuck, is This the Norm?
You have every right to be unsatisfied. From your posted photos, I'm concerned that your doctor was not a boarded PS? In my view this is a very mediocre outcome/result. Seek second opinions from ONLY boarded PS's in your area. Yes you need further surgery to correct the "puckering and dog ears".

Paper tripping, an old system used to change identity in the old days, has vanished from its popularity ages back and became obsolete but many people are still interested in using it in the present days. Know the danger that hides behind a paper-tripped identity with the help of this article.
Paper tripping is an old identity change system which was widely used by people in the seventies where an individual obtains a new identity for himself by adopting the identity of a dead infant. Those days it worked well enough when the use of computers and data collections where not so effective. But in this modern computer age, where every single detail of a person's information is being recorded and monitored by various offices, it become extremely impossible to enjoy its benefits.

TIGER Airways has extracted tens of thousands of dollars from customers without them even getting close to an aircraft, just for the privilege of being among the first to know about upcoming fare sales.
In the latest revenue-raising "innovation" among low-cost airlines, Tiger has started charging passengers a "membership" fee of $29.95 a year to join an email list that gives priority access to sale fares a day before their general release.
Already "thousands" have signed up and paid the joining fee, a Tiger spokeswoman said - even though there are no points accruals or reward redemptions such as in other airline loyalty programs.
Most airlines offer free email alerts spruiking special deals, such as Jetstar's JetMail or Virgin Blue's V-mail.
The move is driven by falling fares. Leading domestic airfares fell more than 15 per cent this month, according to government economists, and budget airlines are looking to more inventive ways of extracting passenger revenue beyond the fare paid.
But after paying for Tiger's email alerts, there is no guarantee you will be able to snare flights at the sale price, for yourself or your companions, as sale bookings are subject to seat availability.
And be warned: there's no refund of the fee if you want to quit later and, after the first year, fees can change "at any time without notice to the member".
And if you want to argue the point, you'll need a Singaporean lawyer, because the membership will be "governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore", the airline says.
Tiger Airways Australia's managing director, Crawford Rix, said the idea of "members-only" previews of sales came from customers.
"Our promotions are so popular that many customers have suggested special 'members-only previews'," he said.

Redefining Price/Performance with AMD Motherboards
Motherboards are fascinating to me. They always have been. I remember voraciously reading motherboard reviews in the mid-90s. I simply could not get enough of them. Some new chipset from SiS, VIA, or ALi? I scoured the internet for information on them and what new features they would bring to the table. Back then motherboards did not have the retail presence they do now. The manufacturers were starting to learn to differentiate their products and cater to the enthusiasts who would not only buy and support these products, but also recommend them to friends/family/the world.
Today motherboards are really the foundation for any PC build. Choosing a motherboard is no longer just picking up some whitebox board that has a 440 BX chipset. Now users are much more active in debating what kind of features they need, what kind of feedback has this manufacturer received from consumers, what kind of ratings the board has on Amazon or Newegg. Features like build quality or overclocking performance sway users from company to company and product to product.
In the past 15 years or so we have seen some pretty rigid guidelines for pricing of motherboards. The super cheap "PC Chips" style motherboards existed below the $90 range. The decent, but unexciting motherboards with the bare minimum of features would go from $90 to $150. The $150 and beyond products were typically considered enthusiast class motherboards with expanded features, better build quality, and more robust power delivery options. Thankfully for consumers, this model is being shaken up by the latest generation of products from AMD.
MSI insures that everything is nicely packed and protected in their black and red box.
I mentioned in the previous Gigabyte G1.Sniper.A88X review that AMD and its partners do not have the luxury of offering a $150 and above FM2+ motherboard due to the nature (and pricing) of the latest FM2+ APUs. I am fairly sure the amount of people willing to spend $200 on a motherboard to house a $179 APU that seemingly overclocks as well on a cheap board as it does a more expensive one (meaning, not very well at all) is pretty low. If there is one bright side to the latest Kaveri APUs, it is that the graphics portion is extremely robust in both graphics and OpenCL applications. The hope for AMD and users alike is that HSA will in fact take off and provide a significant performance boost in a wide variety of applications that typically require quite a bit of horsepower.
AMD Posts Financial Results for Q2 2014
Subject: General Tech | July 17, 2014 - 11:37 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: quarterly earnings, GCN, financial results, APU, amd
Today, AMD posted financial results for its second quarter of 2014. The company posted quarterly revenue of $1.44 billion, operating income of $63 million, and ultimately a net loss of $36 million (or $0.05 loss per share). The results are an improvement over both the previous quarter and a marked improvement over the same quarter last year.
The chart below compares the second quarter results to the previous quarter (Q1'14) and the same quarter last year (Q2'13). AMD saw increased revenue and operating income, but a higher net loss versus last quarter. Unfortunately, AMD is still saddled with a great deal of debt, which actually increased from 2.14 billion in Q1 2014 to $2.21 billion at the end of the second quarter.

|($74 Million)
The Computing Solutions division saw increased revenue of 1% over last quarter, but revenue fell 20% year over year due to fewer chips being sold.
On the bright side, the Graphics and Visual Solutions group saw quarterly revenue increase by 5% over last quarter and 141% YoY. The massive YoY increase is due, in part, to AMD's Semi-Custom Business unit and the SoCs that have come out of there (including the chips used in the latest gaming consoles).
Further, the company is currently sourcing 50% of its wafers from Global Foundries.
"Our transformation strategy is on track and we expect to deliver full year non-GAAP profitability and year-over-year revenue growth. We continue to strengthen our business model and shape AMD into a more agile company offering differentiated solutions for a diverse set of markets."
-AMD CEO Rory Reed
AMD expects to see third quarter revenue increase by 2% (plus or minus 3%). Following next quarter, AMD will begin production of its Seattle ARM processors. Perhaps even more interesting will be 2016 when AMD is slated to introduce new x86 and GCN processors on a 20nm process.
The company is working towards being more efficient and profitable, and the end-of-year results will be interesting to see.

As of this posting all three of these cards are within $15 of the $150 mark so even including taxes and shipping you can get your hands on one for less than $200. If you have a 1080p monitor and want the best bang for your buck, which card is the best choice? The results were not absolutely clear cut and your experience may vary depending on the overclock you can achieve but in the end one card stood out, see which one in their full review.
"Today we continue our quest at finding the best value for 1080p gaming at less than $200. We are looking at two video cards from ASUS, the R7 265 DirectCU II and the GTX 750 Ti DirectCU II OC. We will compare across a variety of 1080p gaming, and draw our conclusion on the best value between the R7 260X, R7 265, and GTX 750 Ti."

Intel has been trying to make headway, including the direct development of Android for the x86 architecture. The company also has a few design wins, mostly with Windows 8.1-based tablets but also the occasional Android-based models. Google is rumored to be preparing the "Nexus 8" tablet with one of Intel's Moorefield SoCs. AMD, the second-largest x86 processor manufacturer, is aiming their Mullins platform at tablets and two-in-ones, but cannot afford to play snowplow, at least not like Intel.
VIA, through their Centaur Technology division, is expected to announce their own x86-based SoC, too. Called Isaiah II, it is rumored to be a quad core, 64-bit processor with a maximum clock rate of 2.0 GHz. Its GPU is currently unknown. VIA sold their stake S3 Graphics to HTC back in 2011, who then became majority shareholder over the GPU company. That said, HTC and VIA are very close companies. The chairwoman of HTC is the founder of VIA Technologies. The current President and CEO of VIA, who has been in that position since 1992, is her husband. I expect that the GPU architecture will be provided by S3, or will somehow be based on their technology. I could be wrong. Both companies will obviously do what they think is best.
It would make sense, though, especially if it benefits HTC with cheap but effective SoCs for Android and "full" Windows (not Windows RT) devices.
Or this announcement could be larger than it would appear. Three years ago, VIA filed for a patent which described a processor that can read both x86 and ARM machine language and translate it into its own, internal microinstructions. The Centaur Isaiah II could reasonably be based on that technology. If so, this processor would be able to support either version of Android. Or, after Intel built up the Android x86 code base, maybe they shelved that initiative (or just got that patent for legal reasons).
But what about Intel? Honestly, I see this being a benefit for the behemoth. Extra x86-based vendors will probably grow the overall market share, compared to ARM, by helping with software support. Even if it is compatible with both ARM and x86, what Intel needs right now is software. They can only write so much of it themselves. It is possible that VIA, being the original netbook processor, could disrupt the PC market with both x86 and ARM compatibility, but I doubt it.
Centaur Technology, the relevant division of VIA, will make their announcement in less than 51 days.
HSA on Linux
Subject: General Tech | July 11, 2014 - 02:36 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, hsa, amd, open source
Open source HSA has arrived for the Linux kernel with a newly released set of patches which will allow Sea Islands and newer GPUs to share hardware resources. These patches are both for a sample driver for any HSA-compatible hardware and the river for Radeon GPUs. As the debut of the Linux 3.16 kernel is so close you shouldn't expect to see these patches included until 3.17 which should be released in the not too distant future. Phoronix and Linux users everywhere give a big shout of thanks to AMD's John Bridgman for his work on this project.
"AMD has just published a massive patch-set for the Linux kernel that finally implements a HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) in open-source. The set of 83 patches implement a Linux HSA driver for Radeon family GPUs and serves too as a sample driver for other HSA-compatible devices. This big driver in part is what well known Phoronix contributor John Bridgman has been working on at AMD."

Fully Enabling the A10-7850K while Utilizing a Standalone GPU
Subject: Processors | July 9, 2014 - 05:42 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: nvidia, msi, Luxmark, Lightning, hsa, GTX 580, GCN, APU, amd, A88X, A10-7850K
When I first read many of the initial AMD A10 7850K reviews, my primary question was how would the APU act if there was a different GPU installed on the system and did not utilize the CrossFire X functionality that AMD talked about. Typically when a user installs a standalone graphics card on the AMD FM2/FM2+ platform, they disable the graphics portion of the APU. They also have to uninstall the AMD Catalyst driver suite. So this then leaves the APU as a CPU only, and all of that graphics silicon is left silent and dark.
Who in their right mind would pair a high end graphics card with the A10-7850K? This guy!
Does this need to be the case? Absolutely not! The GCN based graphics unit on the latest Kaveri APUs is pretty powerful when used in GPGPU/OpenCL applications. The 4 cores/2 modules and 8 GCN cores can push out around 856 GFlops when fully utilized. We also must consider that the APU is the first fully compliant HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) chip, and it handles memory accesses much more efficiently than standalone GPUs. The shared memory space with the CPU gets rid of a lot of the workarounds typically needed for GPGPU type applications. It makes sense that users would want to leverage the performance potential of a fully functioning APU while upgrading their overall graphics performance with a higher end standalone GPU.
To get this to work is very simple. Assuming that the user has been using the APU as their primary graphics controller, they should update to the latest Catalyst drivers. If the user is going to use an AMD card, then it would behoove them to totally uninstall the Catalyst driver and re-install only after the new card is installed. After this is completed restart the machine, go into the UEFI, and change the primary video boot device to PEG (PCI-Express Graphics) from the integrated unit. Save the setting and shut down the machine. Insert the new video card and attach the monitor cable(s) to it. Boot the machine and either re-install the Catalyst suite if an AMD card is used, or install the latest NVIDIA drivers if that is the graphics choice.
Windows 7 and Windows 8 allow users to install multiple graphics drivers from different vendors. In my case I utilized a last generation GTX 580 (the MSI N580GTX Lightning) along with the AMD A10 7850K. These products coexist happily together on the MSI A88X-G45 Gaming motherboard. The monitor is attached to the NVIDIA card and all games are routed through that since it is the primary graphics adapter. Performance seems unaffected with both drivers active.
I find it interesting that the GPU portion of the APU is named "Spectre". Who owns those 3dfx trademarks anymore?
When I load up Luxmark I see three entries: the APU (CPU and GPU portions), the GPU portion of the APU, and then the GTX 580. Luxmark defaults to the GPUs. We see these GPUs listed as "Spectre", which is the GCN portion of the APU, and the NVIDIA GTX 580. Spectre supports OpenCL 1.2 while the GTX 580 is an OpenCL 1.1 compliant part.
With both GPUs active I can successfully run the Luxmark "Sala" test. The two units perform better together than when they are run separately. Adding in the CPU does increase the score, but not by very much (my guess here is that the APU is going to be very memory bandwidth bound in such a situation). Below we can see the results of the different units separate and together.
These results make me hopeful about the potential of AMD's latest APU. It can run side by side with a standalone card, and applications can leverage the performance of this unit. Now all we need is more HSA aware software. More time and more testing is needed for setups such as this, and we need to see if HSA enabled software really does see a boost from using the GPU portion of the APU as compared to a pure CPU piece of software or code that will run on the standalone GPU.
Personally I find the idea of a heterogeneous solution such as this appealing. The standalone graphics card handles the actual graphics portions, the CPU handles that code, and the HSA software can then fully utilize the graphics portion of the APU in a very efficient manner. Unfortunately, we do not have hard numbers on the handful of HSA aware applications out there, especially when used in conjunction with standalone graphics. We know in theory that this can work (and should work), but until developers get out there and really optimize their code for such a solution, we simply do not know if having an APU will really net the user big gains as compared to something like the i7 4770 or 4790 running pure x86 code.
In the meantime, at least we know that these products work together without issue. The mixed mode OpenCL results make a nice case for improving overall performance in such a system. I would imagine with more time and more effort from developers, we could see some really interesting implementations that will fully utilize a system such as this one. Until then, happy experimenting!
When Magma Freezes Over...
Intel confirms that they have approached AMD about access to their Mantle API. The discussion, despite being clearly labeled as "an experiment" by an Intel spokesperson, was initiated by them -- not AMD. According to AMD's Gaming Scientist, Richard Huddy, via PCWorld, AMD's response was, "Give us a month or two" and "we'll go into the 1.0 phase sometime this year" which only has about five months left in it. When the API reaches 1.0, anyone who wants to participate (including hardware vendors) will be granted access.
AMD inside Intel Inside???
I do wonder why Intel would care, though. Intel has the fastest per-thread processors, and their GPUs are not known to be workhorses that are held back by API call bottlenecks, either. Of course, that is not to say that I cannot see any reason, however...
Read on to see why, I think, Intel might be interested and what this means for the industry.

Diamon posits the case of the person who truly has no preference between the Democrat and the Republican. Diamon is right that IRV will not give immediate power to those who want radical change, but this shortcoming is shared with OSO. A difference between the two systems is that while things are not likely to ever change with OSO because candidates that voters are afraid to vote for lest something calamitous happen will always be candidates voters are afraid to vote for, change in a longer term is possible with IRV. People who see no difference between presumed frontrunners; because ideologically they are insufficiently distinguishable or because though there are differences the differences will not result in improvement in their lives; have no reason to vote in OSO elections and frequently don't. However, if such people see that there is a movement of dissent from business-as-usual they have reason to join that movement to try to turn it into a voice with power. Their vote might not make a difference today, but with IRV they have a legitimate hope that in time it will. People with hope are more likely to vote than people resigned to unhappiness however they vote; and given this country's chronic crisis of low voter turnout anything ethical that might bring more people to the polls should be worth considering.
Diamon's objection that calculating IRV results would take agonizingly long is perhaps his weakest. The horror stories — Florida 2000; Minnesota Senate race in 2008; came out of not IRV but OSO. The former was created at least in part by ballots that were intentionally or recklessly designed to confuse voters, machines or both. Use ballots that are clear, as we do in Maine, and vote tabulation is reasonably fast and simple, even under IRV.
Very evenly divided electorates such that recounts are needed are going to slow determination of a winner under almost any system. But if democracy, determining the will of the people, matters then taking necessary time should matter. This will be no more likely under IRV than OSO.
Finally, though Diamon does not address this IRV is guaranteed to add some level of civility to elections. In OSO candidates have little reason to be nice — support from any other candidate or any other candidate's base of support is irrelevant, the fight is to get the biggest plurality. And so, far too many races are contests to try to make opponents look bad because if I can get some of their votes and reach 39% and no one else gets more than 38% I win, even if 61% really hate me. In IRV, however, there is always the risk that I will not get 50% on the first round of tabulations, in which case I am going to need support from voters who did not choose me first. If I have spent the campaign insulting them and their candidates I am probably not going to be anyone's second choice. If I want to be a second choice for the most number of people — which is likely going to be what it will take to win — I will have to think twice about being nasty; I will have to be someone voters could support as a second or third choice. Except in races where one candidate clearly has more than 50% support the quality of campaigning will improve in IRV elections.

In the true spirit of open source, Red Hat has updated its OpenShift platform-as-a-service to support .NET applications and added SQL Server to the list of available databases on the solution. Implemented with the help of Seattle-based integration startup Uhuru Software, the enhancements represent a major push into Microsft territory and confirmation that the enterprise Linux giant is willing to venture beyond familiar grounds in order to close the gap on competitors.
"Developers want choice. So as much as we have affinity and we have expertise developing in the Linux arena and Java with the JBoss technologies, we want to make sure we have an opportunity to reach out to folks using Ruby or GNOME or other languages and frameworks like Python and Perl and PHP," Ashesh Badani, the head of Red Hat's cloud business, told SiliconANGLE in a December interview (see the entire segment below).
By making it possible for users to run their .NET and SQL Server workloads on OpenShift, the firm is substantiating its much-touted commitment to enabling flexibility in application delivery. As part of this effort, the integrations have been included in OpenShift Origin, the upstream open source project on which the company's commercial PaaS offerings are based. And unsurprisingly, the next phase of the collaboration between Red Hat and Uhuru will be baking the functionality directly into the Online and Enterprise editions of the platform, partner ecosystem technical director Chris Morgan revealed in a blog.
Amazon, Microsoft and Google are all pursuing similar roadmaps with their cloud offerings, prioritizing languages and technologies based on adoption, but Red Hat is going one step further and providing a "standardized application environment with consistent administration capabilities," according to Morgan. Plus, code contributed by Uhuru facilitates multi-tenancy on Windows nodes by isolating applications from their neighbors.

Mobile home (manufactured home) owners can take advantage of low mortgage rates like every other homeowner. Given that many older manufactured home loans feature unfavorable terms like high interest rates, balloon payments, and adjustable interest rates, refinancing to a new mobile home loan can save you money and give you more peace of mind.
Manufactured Home Refinance Rates – Getting Started
With the wide range of programs that lenders offer, you can practically choose any refinancing rate that you want. Are you looking for a very low rate? Choose a short-term fixed rate loan where you will pay very little interest and pay off your mortgage quickly. If you are willing to pay a higher interest rate, you can easily find loans that are as long as 20 years, with 30 year loans a possibility in some areas, as well.
Another way to get an even lower rate when you refinance a mobile home and land or just refi your mobile home is to improve your credit score. As long as your FICO score falls somewhere in the mid-600's, lenders will let you refinance your property. If you have a FICO score in the mid or high-700's, though, you can get an even lower rate. In fact, going from a 665 to a 740 score can lower your rate by 10 percent. That's like going from a 5.0 percent loan to a 4.5 percent loan.
How to Refinance a Mobile Home
While having adequate credit is important if you are looking to refinance your mobile home, there are other factors that your lender will look at as well. You will have to have enough income to service your manufactured home mortgage and you will usually need to be able to document it with paystubs and W-2s.
Mobile home mortgage lenders will also look at the configuration of your home. Typically, it will need to be at least a single wide property with at least 600 square feet of living space. To get the best rates, you will probably end up with a lender that requires it to be permanently attached to its utility connections and that requires that it have all of its towing hardware removed. After all, they don't want you to drive away with their collateral!
The Benefit of Today's Refinance Manufactured Home and Land Rates
Today's manufactured home refinance rates come with significant benefits:
- Many loans carry fixed interest rates for their entire term. This lets you lock in today's low rates for the life of your loan and not have to worry about them going up in the future.
- You can get "fully amortizing" loans. These loans gradually pay down to a zero balance which is different than a loan with a "balloon payment." With a balloon loan, you make monthly payments until your loan ends. When the loan ends, you have to pay the remaining balance off in a lump sum or go out and find another loan. Fully amortizing loans save you from the inconvenience and expense of having to refinance them.
- You can refinance even if you have relatively little equity. Lenders make manufactured and modular home refinances at loan to value ratios as high as 95 percent. If you have at least five percent equity, you can probably find a loan!
What about Government Programs and Mobile Homes?
One of the biggest factors impacting the availability of refinance loans for mobile home owners is the role of government agencies and government sponsored entities. Freddie Mac, one of the largest buyers of traditional home mortgages also has programs where they buy and guarantee mobile home mortgages. They support lenders who make fixed and adjustable rate mortgages of up to 30 years in length and with LTVs as high as 95 percent, as long as the homes are permanently attached to the land. Freddie Mac even supports cash-out refinancing loans. This makes loans on qualifying mobile homes much cheaper.
The same Federal Housing Administration that helps banks offer low-down programs to traditional homeowner also provides a similar program for mobile home owners. FHA's HUD-1 loan program allows you to take out 15 year loan on a lot, a 20 year loan on a home or a home and a lot and a 25 year loan on a multi-section home and lot. They require that your loan be fixed, saving you from the risk of adjusting interest rates. While FHA loans have limits of $69,678 for a home, $23,226 for a lot or $92,904 for a home and lot, they can lend you more money for your lot in certain high-cost areas. These loans give you access to very low rates and relaxed qualifying guidelines.
While it used to be that you were at the mercy of your dealer's finance office when you needed to take out a manufactured home loan, things are very different in today's market. Between the wide availability of money from government-sponsored lending programs and the increased competitiveness of the private lending market, great refinancing opportunities are available on today's market. Today's manufactured home refinancing can save you hundreds of dollars a month whether you are looking to refinance just a small single-wide home or a large modular home with land.
Modular Homes vs Mobile Homes
It is important to understand the difference between a modular home and a mobile home. Modular homes are similar to normal single-family homes and they follow the same construction codes. Generally, modular homes are built up at a plant or facility, in several pieces, and then transported to the building site.
There are several mortgage companies offering mortgages and refinancing for modular homes.

I a knitting a scarf with Bernat Denimstyle yarn. I started with 39 stitches, knitted the first row then it is k1 p1 and now I have increased to 51 stiches, is this normal or am I doing something wrong
Thanks for your help:hmm:
Hi, welcome to KH.How many rows have you worked already?Usually increasing unintentionally comes from having the yarn go over the right needle between sts or at the end of a row when it should go under. Check the free videos at the top of the page and see if you are moving the yarn from back to front correctly.
When you switch the yarn from front to back, bring it between the needle tips, not over the needle. That's very likely how you're adding stitches.
Hi and welcome!You should be able to lay the scarf out to see where you're increasing stitches. Inadvertantly moving the yarn over the needle when you switch between knits and purls will leave a hole that you should be able to see if you stretch the scarf out a bit widthwise. If you're adding stitches at the end of the row, that should show up too because the scarf will be skewed at one or both edges. You can fix that by looking at the edge stitch and pulling the yarn down from the needle before knitting rather than pulling it up and over the needle (the latter makes one stitch look like two).

Hey all, welcome to a new week. If things seemed a little quiet at Art City last week, well, I was taking a little break. It's called vacation, and I hadn't had one in a bit. I did lots of reading and saw some art. You weren't far from my mind, though, and I'll share some of my recent art adventures here in the coming days.
Here is my weekly rundown of art events opening and closing throughout the state this week. I'd especially recommend getting to "Watershed" at UWM, the landscape show at Luckystar (image, left) and Yevgeniya Kegnovich's show before they close.OPENINGS

He's got a grade point average of 98.5 (out of 100) at Waco Midway and is already knocking out some of his college credit as a high school junior.
Along with his academics, he's been methodical in his preparations for football and making the decision of where he's headed to college. He'd received an offer from Longhorns after meeting with Mack Brown on the Texas campus, but didn't commit right away, instead sitting down with his mother and father to go over each school one-by-one.
"I really nailed it down to the schools that had shown me the most interest: Texas A&M, Texas, TCU, Oklahoma State, Arkansas," said Graham. "I sat down with my parents and we put it all on paper, everything. How far away it was from home, coaches, what I liked about the academics, the graduation rates, all that, we put it all down on paper."
According to Midway High School coach, Kent Bachtel, that's how the Grahams handle things.
"I tell you what, everything's been very thought out in that family," said Bachtel. "Where they were going, what they were going to do, all that."
That preparation extends to more than just recruiting. Graham's father, Dr. James Graham, has a gym set up at home to help his son in his football career.
"Not only does (Trey) lift here, but he'll go home and lift. His dad's got a weight room in the house," said Bachtel.
It's just how Trey and his family operates, and after careful examination of his recruiting options, the talented tight end gave Brown a call to accept the offer to play for Texas.
"Texas couldn't be argued with," said Trey. "They were above on everything."
Since his commitment, Trey has still been contacted by several schools -- most frequently TCU, Notre Dame and Oklahoma -- to inquire about his commitment and invite him for visits. But does Graham have any interest in taking those visits?
"None," said Graham. "I'm committed. It's done."
One of the biggest reasons for Graham's commitment is academics. He told Inside Texas that UT has exactly what he's looking for in a school, specifically in his planned fields of study: business and pre-med. Bachtel went as far as to offer a prediction about Graham for once the future Longhorn's playing days are over.
"He'll end up being a physician. His daddy's a doctor and he'll be one," said Bachtel, confidently.
Bachtel also said that Graham's academics were something that stood out to the Texas coaches and that Brown joked about Graham being too smart for them to handle.
"When I talked to Coach Brown, he said, 'God, I don't think we've got a coach that can talk with him,'" said Bachtel.
Graham shrugged off the compliments and said that's just who is and who he'll continue to be, both on and off the field.
"I study hard. I play hard," said Graham.

How long does a de-wormer take to expel worms?
Nala threw up in the middle of the night earlier this week and there were roundworms in it. Went to the vet and got Nemex dewormer. She had her first dose Monday. On Friday night she threw up again and there were still worms in it, but I have not seen any worms come out in her poop all week. She still has to take another dose in 2 weeks, but just curious if it should have had an effect by now.

It should take a month because she throwing it up and its in her system.. mostly it takes about 1 or 2 weeks if the dog has worms in there stool
And My dog isnamed Nala too:D
Member 1002749 answered on 10/31/10. Helpful? / 0
The previous poster is way, way wrong! Nemex kills worms within 12 to 24 hours... are you sure she didn't vomit the wormer as well? If there is a chance she did you should call your vet... Nemex is very safe and they may want you to repeat it sooner than the two weeks, although you will definitely want to repeat it in two weeks, and two weeks later you need to have a fecal exam to make sure no new worms have developed from eggs left in her system.
Member 641257 answered on 10/31/10. Helpful? / 3
It shouldn't take long at all. And just because you don't see them doesn't mean much, you could have eggs in it too. so make sure you pick up the poo and dispose of all of it.
and then your vet will most likely put your dog on Interceptor once a month or equilvent so that the dog has continuous protection.
Follow up with the vet on how to protect her year long.

sallyTV's recommendation
Alexander Girard is one of my favorite designers of all time. He was the lead designer for Herman Mliller textiles for over 30 years. He was and is still extremely influential. These wooden dolls are being produced in very limited quantities, so if you love them BUY THEM!
revolutionarygirl's recommendation
Half decorative element, half toy. All art! These dolls makes a whimsical menagerie perfect for adding interest, playfulness and color to any room. The Wooden Dolls where inspired by Girard's collection of folk art. The way he painted these sculpturally abstract figures reflected design elements from Central America, Eastern Europe and Italy.

Ghost Of Myself
So here is me, dead and haunting you.
In other news.... the test results came back from the allopathic doctor and I am free of parasites they say. Like 100%.
Only thing that sucks about that, is i only got about 30-40% better after having took the Para-shield pills. So what next?
Even though i paid the doctor in full and many many hundreds of my dollars, they refused to call me back and tell me what route i should take. Also they told me to go to my family doctor, which i dont have, DUH, cause most doctors suck. Then they promised to refer me after the holiday ends. But only to a GI clinic which i have been before that treated me very badly.
GO US health care!
So...... for now I will concentrate on balancing the after-battle damage. (parasites and all methods to kill the little shitheads can really put your digestive track out of whack and under serious distress. )
Fingers crossed.... for probiotics, usnea tea, salt baths, happy thoughts, etc.....
a wise man asked me recently "is this a hill you are willing to die on"....
fuck no. Not ready to be the ghost of myself just yet.
4 comments:
If I have to be haunted you're the sort of ghost I'd pick.
Yeah, doctors! Sheesh! what occurred to me is that possibly the parasite junk you took did it's work but also might have killed all your good bacteria. perhaps you just need some good probiotics like some yogurt. But then you've probably tried that.
- July 4, 2011 at 5:05 PM
the tests often come back false-negative. best to get a series done, but i realize this would be expensive for you.
- July 5, 2011 at 9:38 AM
- Leslie's Gone Oko said...
I read about the tests coming back negative often.
the tests i took, were 4 parts....(so more then one test was taken)
and i asked the doctor's office to please re-test again just in case, and they refused to run another stool test and told me to ask my family doctor to (which i dont have) --- and also will takes weeks before i get in to see anyone PLUS take tests and get test results back.
So while i wait (all of July I imagine) for that medical BS.... these are the things i am doing in the meantime, because doctors dont seem interested in helping.
funny how that works since that is their job.
I had no problem paying for more tests either.
The usnea tea i am drinking though, is making me have wayyyyyy more energy then i was having. Like almost feeling normal for a few hours after. Which is a nice change.
Today i am going to go get more probiotic stuff, and lots of cherry and Pomagranite juice ect.---- fingers crossed.
- July 5, 2011 at 10:07 AM
if the usnea is having such a strong effect on you it could likely be bacterial if it's an invading pathogen. good luck!

Culture Shock: A Journey Abroad
Culture Shock opened in November to coincide with International Education Week (Nov. 12-16). The exhibit will be on display from November 1, 2012 through early January 2013.
About the Curator
William Fischer, an undergraduate student at Cal State Fullerton studied abroad during his junior year. Fischer visited 14 countries in Europe and North Africa, each of which provided unique experiences within their specific culture, while at the same time earning him full-time academic credit at CSUF.
About the Exhibit"Less than 2% of students study abroad. As a proponent for international education, every student should look into what the California State University International Program has to offer and apply yourself. Step out from the norm, gain crucial life skills, and apply them to the global world we live in. A year abroad in Madrid, Spain gave me the opportunity to earn a second major and graduate with double degrees in Medical Anthropology and Spanish without delaying my graduation date. The possibilities are out there for everyone to succeed, don't hesitate, apply yourself, the rewards are infinite."
Fischer's exhibit, Culture Shock: A Journey Abroad, on display near the Circulation Desk of Pollak Library first floor south is a representation of how students can expand their boundaries internationally. In his first exhibit, Fischer combines newspapers, photographs and other ephemera from locations such as:
- Tifnit, Morocco: Cement town with population 50 men, 1 burro.
- Eiffel Tower – Paris, France: 710 steps: raced to the bottom.
- Plaça d'Espanya – Copa Mundial España: Montjuic, World Cup Final.
- Auschwitz Concentration Camp I, Poland.
- Morocco's "Marrakesh Express": Overnight train, Tangier-Marrakesh.
- Vienna Opera House, Austria: Madame Butterfly, 3.50€ Stehparterre.
- Berlin Memorial, Germany: Fernsehturm Berlin.
- Lisboa, Portugal: Castelo dos Mouros, Sintra 8th century.

"Jordan has been committed to UT for a couple years," Pearl said. "His length, his athleticism and his ability to shoot the ball at a high level make him a real special prospect. His offense is ahead of his defense. And once he gets into our weight program and starts to strengthen his build, he will be even more of an impact player."
As a junior last year at LCHS, McRae averaged 23 points per game and earned 2008-09 honorable mention All-State honors from both the Georgia Sports Writers Association and the Atlanta Journal Constitution while leading the Panthers to the round of 16 in the Class AAA state playoffs and a 20-6 overall record.
Scout.com and ESPN's Scouts, Inc., both rank the rangy and explosive McRae as the sixth-best shooting guard in the class of 2010.
"Today was crazy and kind of overwhelming," McRae said Wednesday. "It's like all my hard work to this point has paid off. But at the same time, tomorrow it's right back to work.
"I think coach Pearl is a great coach. I like playing with intensity, and at Tennessee, I'll be playing for a coach who is just as intense as me. I like his system and the fast-break game. At UT, off the court, everybody is really close and it really feels like a family, and I?I?like that a lot."
McRae is listed on the ESPNU Top-100 chart as the class of 2010's 29th-best overall prospect. He also is rated by Rivals.com as a four-star prospect and the No. 42 overall prospect nationally.
This past summer, McRae helped guide Team USA?2010 to the championship at the "adidas Nations" tournament in Dallas.
Tennessee's current roster already includes a pair of Georgia natives in sophomore guard Cameron Tatum (Lithonia) and freshman forward Kenny Hall (Stone Mountain).

Developer in Las Vegas project pleads guilty
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A developer faces up to 20 years in prison for misusing funds that he was supposed to invest in a commercial real estate project in Las Vegas.
Federal prosecutors say 44-year-old Jean Marc El Jwaidi (jah-WAH'-dee) pleaded guilty Friday to wire fraud.
They say El Jwaidi spent investors' funds on himself rather than investing them in real estate projects.
The commercial real estate projects included one at the intersection of Interstate 215 and Russell Road in Las Vegas.
Prosecutors say El Jwaidi knew the project couldn't be completed but he continued to entice people to invest in the development.
Investors lost some $1.8 million.
El Jwaidi worked for shopping mall developer Triple Five Development.
He faces a fine of up to $250,000 in addition to the prison time.
Pair sentenced for mortgage fraud scheme
HARTFORD (AP) -- Federal authorities say a man and a woman have been sentenced for a mortgage fraud scheme in southeastern Connecticut.
The U.S. Attorney's office said 47-year-old Michael Russo of New Haven was sentenced Wednesday in Hartford to 21 months in prison.
Authorities say 28-year-old Melissa Valentin of Uncasville received an 18 month-sentence, the last half of which she must spend in home confinement.
Both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud.
Authorities say Russo, a licensed real estate sales agent in New London, was involved in the fraudulent purchase of eight properties which ended up in foreclosure, resulting in losses to lenders of more than $1.7 million.
Authorities say Valentin bought about five houses in the New London area by providing false information on mortgage loan applications.

Why does my cat poop on the floor or rugs sometimes instead of the litter box?
Also my friend's cat poops in the bathtub instead of the litter box? Why? He has done this since she's had him.

in Urine Marking & House Soiling
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It's possible your friend's cat was separated from his mother too young and never learned how to use the litter box. It's also possible he has some medical condition that caused him pain when he tried to use the box and now he's afraid of it. He could also not like the litter she uses, where the box is (if it's in a high-traffic area. Cats need privacy), or the actual box itself. There is a litter called "Cat attract" (Petsmart) that she might want to try. Also, cats use their poop as a way of saying "I was here!" If she has other cats or dogs, he may be marking his territory.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
His issues with relationship do stem from his relationship with his mother and if he wants a normal happy life he is going to have to take counseling seriously and stick with it. He also exhibits some characteristics of a Midlife crisis because he no longer knows what he wants out of life long term this is a pretty sure sign that somewhere along the line he has lost connection with who he is. He lost sight of what is important to him and what really matters in his life and that could be in part due to his mother and his past. He may well feel he is in no man's land and realize there is definitely no going back but there is no clear way forward towards the future. He seems frustrated with just about every aspect of his life and doesn't know what he wants for his life and the people that are in it. Dwelling on what can't be undone keeps him locked into the past rather than focusing on the future. Learning from painful regrets and using them as a example for change will help him move on and put the past where it belongs "in the past."
He needs to remind himself of what he has now and be open to all possibilities and be ready for the next new chapter in his life instead he is uncertain as to what he wants right now and that is due to the fact that he didn't have that bonding and nurturing growing up that makes most people productive in their relationships and able to bond with their mate. Midlife crisis can make him feel trapped like a caged bird and wanting to get out at all cost, even if it means losing the one he loves. Somewhere along the way, various dreams and goals may be realized and now he feels hemmed in by thoughts of what life 'could have been'. What's the first thing we do when we feel trapped? We look for ways to escape! He needs to realize that what he really wants is not to escape but for things to change. This is why counseling is so important for him because right now he is feeling the affects of the double whammy midlife crisis and past treatment and failures of his mother.
In order to get the help he needs he has to go into counseling and stick with it or else he may find himself alone with no one to turn to. The fact that he leans more towards younger women, shows signs of midlife crisis but could also mean that older women or women his age reminds him of his mother and her failures as a parent and then it scares him because he doesn't want to be left alone again or deserted emotionally. It's important for you to talk him into going back to counseling and sticking with it for at least six months or so he needs extensive counseling to help realize that his mother actions were not his fault and he deserves to be happy and loved and cared for and until he can realize these things he will always live in limbo not knowing what he wants or what he deserves out of life.

Two DFL Senators are asking Gov. Tim Pawlenty to hold off on filling a vacant cabinet position as a way to save money.
Sen. Sandy Pappas, DFL-St. Paul, who chairs the higher education committee, and Sen. Richard Cohen, DFL-St. Paul, chair of the finance committee, wrote a letter to the governor suggesting he not replace Susan Heegaard as director of the Office of Higher Education.
"In light of the current budget crisis that Minnesota faces, we believe that it is imperative that we look for savings at every level," Pappas and Cohen wrote.
"Our suggestion is in no way a reflection of the quality or the importance of the work Ms. Heegaard directed: in fact we feel that she did an outstanding job in her role." However, we also believe that the office will be able to manage in the very capable hands of Acting Director Mark Misukanis."
Pawlenty announced in January that Heegaard would leave her post Feb. 5, to work for the Bush Foundation.
A spokesman for Gov. Pawlenty offered this comment:
Governor Pawlenty places a high priority on higher education accountability and reform. Minnesota businesses are depending on Minnesota colleges and universities to turn out qualified workers. That's why the Governor elevated the Office of Higher Education to a cabinet level agency during his first term.
