Chapter Two III: A New SchoolMature
"Ida!" I heard Melanthe's feminine voice squeak over the commotion.
I spun around in circles but could not see her anywhere through the people pushing pass.
Nobody bothered apologising as they shoved me. It was as though I did not exist. When I fought against the mass forcing me down the hall, I felt a terrible sense of a new kid's loneliness wash over me. I had no clue where or what my next class was and I did not recognise any of the faces that rushed by.
I was rammed into a locker. The clang of metal was swallowed by the clatter that filled my cramped surroundings. Just wait until most of them have gone into class, I told myself, bringing up my arms to shield me in case something (or someone) fell out of the horde and crashed into me. The teachers won't mind too much as I'm new. And maybe, just maybe, I will get through this stampede unscathed.
"There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"
She strode towards me, splitting the students between us like Moses and the Red Sea.
"Hand over your timetable," she said, holding out an expectant hand.
Not knowing what else to do, I delved inside my rucksack and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. She took it and peered at the lessons I had scrawled onto it. Her bubbly grin dissolved and was replaced with a thoughtful frown.
"It looks like we only have Maths and registration together," she pouted. "And our next lessons are in different buildings."
Her head flew up from my timetable as she looked down the finally emptying hall. Before I could ask her what she was looking for, she had walked off round the corner.
"Um, where are you going?" I called after her. I would not have minded too much that she had disappeared, but she had taken my timetable with her.
"So you have English Lit too in that class?" I heard her say after a few minutes of me standing there, paralysed by helplessness.
Melanthe sauntered back to me. Joint at her hip was a typical jock, the type of guy that would be cast as a lead in teen Disney movie – broad-shouldered, slightly muscular, tall and, of course, insanely attractive.
"Ida, this is Jason," she announced, waving a hand half-heartedly in his direction.
"Hey," he said, shooting me a warm smile.
"H-hello," I stammered, immediately feeling shy and more than a little intimidated by his flawless appearance.
A guy like this was the kind you expected to hang around with Melanthe, and I, attending an all girls school since primary had neither her natural talent nor her experience. Neither had I spoken that much to them outside of school. I could tell that Melanthe had grasped this fact when I noticed her beautiful eyes glitter briefly with dark delight.
"You must be the new kid," he held out a hand.
I shook it, secretly pleased that my arm did not wobble about like my knees probably were doing.
"We're in the same class, so just follow me."
He started to walk off down the hall. Melanthe poked me when I did not move.
"Go on," she hissed in my ear. "You look a picture just standing there."
My cheeks flushed heavily as I staggered after him.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I, like millions i suppose, watched the NBC/MSNBC report on e-cigs. They even offered a link to DIRECTECIG.COM, with a special limited time offer off their product for only $4.95. As a person wanting to reduce and then end my dependence on nicotine, the NBC report convinced me to try the offer. I ordered, paid my $4.95 and recieved the "free starter kit." now. about 3 weeks later i have a $109 CHARGE TO MY CREDIT CARD.
I e-mailed and tried calling DIRECTECIG, with no luck. Stay away from this company, it is a scam, cheat, ripoff. And an expensive one for a working person like me. They claim there was "fine print" saying if you didn't return the "free starter kit" in two weeks, you would be billed $109 for it. NO SUCH THING IN THE LINK FROM MSNBC's tv show. SCAM, CHEAT, RIPOFF. STAY AWAY, TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM DIRECTECIG and to notify and boycott MSNBC/NBC advertisers.
I want to do everything i can to get my money back and keep others from losing theirs. The address, e-mail and ph number of this ripoff is in the report. Please let them and the local NBC-2 affiliate hear from you. WE have to help ourselves, no official ever will. thank you.

Department of Medicine, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO
PURPOSE:Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) decreases mortality and may reduce the risk for exacerbation-related hospitalizations in patients with COPD. While the recommendation to prescribe oxygen at rest, exercise, and sleep is widely known, the actual use is less clear. We sought to determine if oxygen is utilized in Colorado COPD patients according to standards for initiation and titration of oxygen therapy set forth by the Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy trial (NOTT), the Medical Research Council (MRC) study, and the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).
METHODS:GOLD stage 3 or 4 COPD patients (n=511) were enrolled in an IRB approved COPD trial from a variety of medical settings in Colorado. Oxygen saturations (SpO2) were measured at rest and following a 6-minute walk test by oximetry. For analysis, subjects were divided into LTOT-treated cohorts (n=417) and non-treated cohorts (n=94) to determine the extent to which oxygen was under-titrated or under-prescribed.
RESULTS:The overall study population had the following characteristics: age=68, FEV1=37% predicted, SGRQ=48 and BODE index=4.8. Of the LTOT-treated cohort, 7.9% had a resting SpO2 less than the standard therapeutic goal of 90% and 59.2% had a post-exercise SpO2 < 90%. Of the untreated cohort, 2.1% had a resting SpO2 of ≤; 88% and 43.6% had a post-exercise SpO2 of ≤; 88%.
CONCLUSION:Almost half of the patients in our cohorts were not on adequate oxygen therapy despite clinical indication. These results suggest that oxygen is under-prescribed and inadequately titrated to meet established goals in COPD-related hypoxia. Additionally, a large percentage of patients in both cohorts demonstrated suboptimal post-exercise SpO2 measurements, implying an under-appreciation of exercise-induced hypoxia.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:The prevalence of untreated exercise-induced hypoxia is potentially high in patients with COPD. Further investigation is needed into improving provider awareness, detection, and treatment of COPD-related hypoxia. Additionally, how the inadequate use of LTOT affects the overall health, and healthcare utilization, of this population is also an area warranting further investigation.

Ten days to Hong Kong: part twelve
One night Kaili and I decide to get dressed up for a drink at a stylish bar overlooking the incredible skyline and for the first time in twelve weeks on the road I look to my pack, for something to wear, and find the contents inadequate. Here in Hong Kong I have run out of track; there is no longer quite the same urgency to reach and navigate the next city to find the next hostel. In hindsight, I have got here far too ...

... There are actually airline counters, just like at the airport. Since our flight was at 1am tomorrow, it was nice to not have to deal with our bags for the entire day.
We walked through Kowloon Park and then took the subway another area of Hong Kong, Sheung Wan, and explored that area. This is next to Soho, and we found ourselves overlapping some of the streets we had been on the day previous. There are some great artisan markets at ...

... it was impossible not to smile the whole day.
We visited a couple of islands - Lamma, Stanley. And spent a lot of time at the Cricket Club, not actually playing, lying by the pool. Off to the peak today, the highest point on the island, but sadly there's an amber rainstorm taking place. But I will get a chance to don my new bright pink pac a mac!
Happy photos!

Heading back to the hostel, we had a quick rest before walking a bit further up Nathan Road to the Temple Road Night Market which is supposed to be one of the most famous in Hong Kong. The market is only temporary which means that it has to be set up each day and runs the entire length of the street. We had a good browse, but the only thing we bought was dinner at a local street restaurant. Ordering ...

Dear Doctor, I am married & suffering from premature ejaculation sometimes (within 1 min/2min)..Mainly during the intercourse time early ejaculation happens, not during foreplay/oral sex..Performance anxiety causing the problem may be..I ejaculate much before my partner reaches orgasm stage..Tried masturbating 1 hr before sex, but this causes low arousal during sex..This is impacting my life and mental health.. Should i consult psychiatrist/urologist in Kolkata? Plz suggest..

Like the answers? Chat privately for 24 hours with the doctor of your choice
Early ejaculation could be due to many reasons. Anxiety being the most. So first try relaxation techniques and distraction method. Then try to cut down on any habits like alcohol, smoking or drugs. This will help delay ejaculation. If there's no improvement then you must be investigated for any comorbidities like diabetes hypertension hypercholestrolemia. Treating these comorbidities also can delay ejaculation. Also any associated erectile dysfunction will also have to be treated. Medically there are many options like oral medications and topical creams. If the above conservative measure do not help kindly consult a psychiatrist for medical therapy.

KTM officially unveils 1290 Super Duke GT
Fullyloaded Super Dukebased tourer presented at Eicma
RUMOURS, spy shots and speculation about the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT have been rife for the last five months, but today KTM has officially unveiled the new sports tourer at the Eicma show.
Key info:
The engine
The GT is powered by a retuned version of the 1301cc four-stroke two-cylinder 75 degree V-twin engine found in the 1290 Super Duke R. According to KTM's figures, it's packing the same 173hp and 106 lb/ft torque.
KTM says the crankshaft, cylinder heads, combustion chambers, valve timings and injection mappings have all been given attention to give the engine the 'appropriate power delivery.' Consequently, the motor delivers maximum power higher up the rev range at 9,500 rpm instead of 8,865rpm. Max torque from the GT comes at 6,750rpm – 1,000rpm lower than the Super Duke R.
Semi-active suspension
The Super Duke GT has semi-active WP suspension front and rear, which can be toggled between 'Comfort', 'Street' and 'Sport' settings. It's controlled by a suspension control unit that matches damping values to riding style and road surface in real time. The spring settings then alter to match the damping values.
Riding assistance and additional equipment
The GT comes with the riding assistance package from the 1290 Super Adventure, and is rammed full of additional technology. It's got a lean angle sensitive stability control system, meaning lean angle sensitive front and rear linked ABS and traction control. The ABS system can be disengaged and features a supermoto mode. It's got a quick shifter too.
The bike has a several different riding modes that affect engine response, traction control, ABS and suspension damping.
Should you wish to add more acronyms to the GT's spec sheet, there's optional hill start assistance from the HHC (Hill Hold Control) and MSR (Motor Slip Regulation). KTM says the MSR 'prevents the rear wheel from losing grip, should the rider chop the throttle or dump the clutch when downshifting.' It's not too clear whether this is above and beyond what a normal slipper clutch offers, but the spec sheet says its got the same slipper clutch as the Super Duke R
Long distance ability
It's a bike made for eating up the miles, so it's not too surprising that the GT comes with cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system and heated grips. It also includes LED cornering lights and it's even got self-cancelling indicators.
Chassis, brakes and tyres
Stopping power comes courtesy of Brembo. At the front, there's two monobloc four-piston radial calipers biting on to 320mm discs. The rear brake is a two-piston caliper with 240mm disc.
The subframe is extended and features integrated mounts for panniers and the GT is shod with Pirelli Angel GT tyres.
KTM says the bike weighs 205kg dry and comes in at 228kg when the 23l tank is full. It's claiming that weight gives it the best power-to-weight ratio of any sports tourer.
KTM hasn't announced a price at the time of writing.

Pet food is something which is generally bought in mass. a part continues to be offered along with following the carrier continues to be exposed, what's someone to do using the item that is abandoned? There are many things to consider. Although it might seem just like a no brainer, a cat-operator must contemplate their pet food-storage choices. Probably the most significant element is the fact that rats, bugs and sometimes even your pet could easily get back to the unprotected carrier of food when you're not searching. You will find plenty of various methods to this issue that is possible. Extra cat-food could be saved a-wall, in your cat feeder -installed in certain storage or accessory containers.
Pet food storage is something which all kitten and puppy owners need to contemplate. Even although you are not concerned about different creatures getting onto the meals, it'll nevertheless fundamentally move stagnant until it's stored in anything air tight. The meals must not be safely stowed anywhere wet that's from the daylight.
One answer for this really is to fill the food all right into a pet feeder. This way the meals are less or definitely more, "in position." Make sure that you receive one which acts out particular parts and never one which only continuously unloads if your pet feeder is that which you are thinking about. You will find pet feeders available on the market with part control products in it. With this particular type of pet food storage you simply need to cope with food's mass quantity.
Another instance is answer is just a wall-installed cat food dispensers. It certainly will maintain 40 pounds of food and supports towards the wall. The type of the food accessory that is mounted is a great illustration of the kind of cat food storage. Far away, it generally does not seem like it may or may really maintain 40 pounds. The merchandise is held by it nicely in managed helping styles in the base and food could be distributed.
The easiest of options is by using a plastic pot. Many owners might concur that the pot must be more powerful than simply, "home-quality." You will find food storage bins for many levels of food. Function their method to the most effective and they often begin in the 5 pound variety. The Bergen Bunch Nstore cat food Storage container really reaches a keeping dimension of the massive 79 pounds. This is actually the kind of storage you could contemplate for the storage. All that's required is just information.
A-wall, extra food shops nicely in your cat feeder -installed in storage or accessory containers. There are lots of means of maintaining your cat is food-safe, however the primary problem currently comprises all the item.

Who Wants to See a Good Peep Show? Kids Do!
Yes, even veterinarians like getting in on the act this time of year. And why not? How best to show kids how fun and stress-less vet medicine can be for their pets than to use Peeps as an example?
You see, it's career day time in my area's school system. Now that all those dastardly tests are finally under their belt, teachers can get back to actually teaching something more useful than standardized testing strategies, which means that for at least one day, parents and community members are asked to come to schools to show off what they do.
But here's where so many careerists go wrong. Instead of finding ways to make their career look fun and interesting via fun examples and hands-on play, they stand up in front of a blackboard and talk. Not that some just-stand-up-and-talkers can't be great, but it'll still never beat a good Peep show…
…especially since we get to eat the Peeps at the end of the demonstration.
Now, there's very little substance to Peeps, I will confess. But you'd be surprised at the many ways in which very little children worry about what happens to their pets in the veterinarian's office. Peeps are a way of not only setting their mind at ease at the vet's but also at their own pediatrician's place.
I got to thinking about using a Peep show at an upcoming 1st grade career event after last week's pre-Easter Peep abundance extravaganza at work. Using photographs I'd taken in years past as a guide, I ushered my marshmallow Peeps through a "this is what we do to your pets" kind of a show for a few littler pet owners.
"But noooooooo .... we don't eat them at the end, though, do we?"
(At which point everyone giggles as they bite their Peeps' heads off.)
And what could be more fun and stress-less than being a kid who eats Peep heads at the vet's place? OK, so being an adult who gets to play with Peeps at work is more fun. Especially since we're long done with all those way stupid standardized exams!

Location: Biological Control of Pests Research
Project Number: 6066-22000-062-00-D
Project Type: In-House Appropriated
Start Date: Nov 8, 2010
End Date: Nov 7, 2015
The long-term objective of this project is to develop an improved understanding of the biology, nutrition, and behavior of natural enemies of pest arthropods. Our primary target pest will be the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae. Some of the most important natural enemies of this mite are phytoseiid predatory mites and coccinellids. We aim to implement, improve and increase the mass rearing capabilities of these organisms by developing artificial diets and novel rearing technology to enable economical biological control of this pest by augmentation of its natural enemies and to develop novel techniques of quality control and quality assurance. Our work will focus on the following: (1) Determine nutritional, behavioral, and physical conditions necessary for in vivo and in vitro insect rearing and use the results to implement mass production systems of biological control agents. (2) Determine the impact of mass rearing procedures on survival, reproduction, and gene expression. (3) Assess optimal conditioning of insects for release.
Research activities will focus on a specific predator, Stethorus punctillum and a generalistic predator, Coleomegilla (C.) maculata. Studying the nutritional requirements of a generalist versus a specific predator will provide insights on diet development of these 2 organisms. The generalist predator is expected to be an easier target for artificial diet development and success will have greater impact since C. maculate is an important predator of several economically damaging pest species.

Horse in Window
I can never decide if I enjoy naming photos or not!
I think I enjoy it when I come up with a good name, and I don't like when I come up with a boring name. Let's take this one for example: "Horse in Window." I mean, how uncreative can I be? What's wrong with me?
When I am editing photos, and the muse visits, I am like a man possessed. I can rip through a bunch of photos and make some nice little creations. But then I click "Save As...", and I just blank out on a name. I think the creative part of my brain for making photos is different than the part for naming things.
I do enjoy writing, and I often find that the words flow easily. This bit of me seems disconnected from the photo-editing bit, though.
There is a small slice of solace, I think, in considering the names of some of the great paintings from my impressionist heroes. They have names like "Girl in Field" and "Sun on Water". Not too exciting, but they do stand the test of time. But "Horse in Window"? I think not!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
who do I have to writte the letter to?, what the out-lite looks like and what happens if the letter is send late?. Thanks
Suspension of driving priveleges in NJ is a very serious matter. This is not something you can clear up by wriitng a letter. The hearing can be adjourned by informing the agency you need to obtain a lawyer. This is a very technical area of the law, and it is well worth your while to hire an experienced lawyer to resolve the issue.
On my profile there are several legal guides. I recommend reviewing the following which may be helpful to you:
Hiring a lawyer; Is it Legal? Is it Illegal?...Understanding the different court systems;
Introduction to Legal terms used in litigation; Limitations on a Lawyer's License: What a Lawyer Can and Cannot Do……………………………..…………………………..
Mr. Sarno is licensed to practice law in NJ and NY. His response here is not legal advice and does not create an attorney/ client relationship. The response is in the form of legal education and is intended to provide general information about the matter in question. Many times the questioner may leave out details which would make the reply unsuitable. Mr. Sarno strongly advises the questioner to confer with an attorney in their own state to acquire more information about this issue.
Typically, writing a letter requesting a hearing with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle
Commission (MVC) is written in response to a "Notice of Scheduled Suspension" letter generated by MVC. The letter usually sets forth the reason your license is scheduled to be suspended. There are many possible reasons for such a notice, for example: failure to pay surcharge, too many points, failure to satisfy an outstanding summons, or operating during a period of suspension. Your letter should address the specific issue raised in the MVC's notice. MVC's scheduled suspension notice also contains the address where your request for hearing should be sent. If the notice is, in fact, a Notice of Scheduled Suspension, it will also contain language that states that upon receipt of your request for hearing, your suspension will be delayed pending your hearing date (which may not for several months). I also suggest that you send your request for hearing by certified mail in the event your letter gets misplaced in the system and MVC claims it did not get your request. If your request is sent late, you may have a problem. Once the suspension goes into effect, getting the matter resolved is like getting a knot out of your shoe. You will have to contact MVC by phone and explain your situation. You may be lucky, and speak with someone who will agree to "rescind" your suspension upon receipt of your request letter.
I have represented many clients before the NJMVC for suspension related hearings. If your driver's license is already suspended, you will need to request from the NJMVC an "opportunity hearing", which is a hearing where one can argue why their suspended driver's license should be reinstated. If you did not respond to the NJMVC proposed suspension notice in a timely manner, you will most likely need to request such opportunity hearing. If you are responding to a NJMVC proposed suspension notice prior to your suspension date, your letter must argue why you are legally entitiled to a hearing to challenge the basis and length of your proposed driver's license suspension. Enclose a copy of the front and back of the NJMVC proposed suspension notice and send 2 letters, one by certified mail, RRR, and the other by regular mail. Keep in mind that if you are not satisfied with the NJMVC's decision you can appeal the same to an ALJ. It may make sense to retain an attorney for this matter so that all deadlines and legal arguments are met and made on your behalf.Ask a similar question

Just an example, there was backfling as well so it wasn't one sided.
I disagree. I think it's a valid question when someone is having recurring difficulty in making themselves understood in a text environment. My assumption was that the issues were perhaps the result of English not being the posters first language. If there is an underlying reason behind the problem and others involved in the conversation are aware of that reason then we'll be able to work around it. Otherwise the poster in question is doomed to a circle of continual misunderstanding.

I did say "Just asking my next question out of curiosity, not judgment" and "it might help us understand you." I thought it obvious that I was not directing an insult at anyone and was trying only to get clarity.
I was sensitive to the fact that a member wasn't getting across her ideas and wanted to see if there was another way we could be brought to an understanding of what she was trying to say. Nothing insulting about it. If that isn't being compassionately curious and trying to help, then maybe we're in different universes right now.
I apologize to Flowerchild and anyone else who may have felt insulted. That was not my intent. I was seeking only to bring us all closer to understanding each other. Apparently there is a communication issue and my words were not clear. I will not contribute to this thread any further.

I've never met any non-monogamous people in my life who didn't cross lines between involvement and into interfering (whether it was from a poly or BDSM standpoint was irrelevant as both sets definitely crossed lines into interfering) and there were times when the person in question was not a Cowboy/Cowgirl
So it's hard for me to believe that the problems with this thread are people honestly being confused, as opposed to moving the spotlight to a more convenient area to illuminate
this was actually the only "semantics" problem this thread actually had, as troll is misusing the word beyond the parameters of "language fluidity" but in FC's defense, is there a word in any language's lexicon that describes a blogger who talks the talk yet is guilty of the very behavior they openly preach against and thus fail to walk the walk?
Is there a word for not wanting to preform the tasks of a responsible adult, to want to take a day of childish fingers in the ears and "bla-bla-blah!!" all the unpleasant behavior that you don't wish to deal with, don't want others talking about it either, yet maintain the adult badge of character who doesn't need to stick their head in the sand?
troll? probably not, so I guess FC should have just hyphenated the above two paragraphs and called it a word
if anybody on the forum can't handle a discussion without resorting to shutting down the conversation -- regardless of their status -- does that mean the entire board needs to cease and desist because of one or two individuals that cannot handle the topic?
It's not wrong to not want to discuss a topic that people would rather sweep under the rug, it's just that if someone can't handle discussing it honestly then they should not. It's extremely immature to not want it discussed, then when it is join the conversation in attempt to silence one side of the fence or pretend not to understand the light being shed regarding the topic.
I understand the common tactics used to divert attention away from the unflattering points, to end the thread on a note which sounds as if the entire discussion was plagued by misunderstanding and thus ultimately voided. I am not saying it's wrong, but rather questioning if such a route is seriously the best chosen path.
Nobody can force others to engage in an adult discussion, especially about subjects that are not easy to talk about, esp when they mean taking a look at your own behavior, but there too, you can't force others to decide not to tackle the hard topics just because another person doesn't want to.
Even if the problem could be spun into a semantics, fluidity of language issue -- even if that could be done convincingly -- is that really the best decision?
Does this argument (http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55904) really appear to be the best route to take?
Honestly, when people post on forums such as this, many of us are slightly, just a sliver, but only once in a great blue moon ever so slightly less perfect than the advice we give
it really is OK to not be perfect, but obviously it's important to maintain the facade on a profile, and that is OK too.

My personal opinion...
First, I believe I should be aware if Hubby or S2 is seeing someone else, and I would like to at least know that person's name. If she were important enough for the guy to start a relationship with, and she made him happy, that's something I would want to share with him. I wouldn't necessarily push to *meet* her, but I would want to at least have some clue who this other important person is. (Her name is X, she's Y years old, she has or doesn't have kids, etc.)
On the other hand, if either of them were seeing someone else, *he* would probably want me to meet her, just as I wanted Hubby and S2 to meet each other once it became apparent that S2 and I had more of a relationship than the FWB arrangement we started off with. I made it clear to both of them that their meeting was my preference, but was entirely *their* choice. They chose to meet, because of what I said above; each of them is someone very important in my life, and each of them wanted to know who the other important person was.
That's how we do it and what works for us; other people poly differently, and that's cool if it works for them.
If Hubby or S2 were seeing someone else, and I suspected that person was trying to drive a wedge between the guy and me, I would speak up. Not to the other woman, but to the guy. And it wouldn't be so much "I think she's trying to drive a wedge between us" as "I'm concerned about this aspect of *our* relationship that seems to have changed since you started seeing her." I wouldn't say "You have to stop seeing her" or issue ultimatums; but I would express that I was worried and why.
To me, I would have more "right" to do that with Hubby than with S2, because Hubby and I are legally married, cohabitate, parent Alt and Country together, etc. Hubby supports me financially as well as emotionally. I have a lot more to lose if the marriage disintegrates than I do if my relationship with S2 falls apart.
Likewise, if, for example, Hubby started to feel like S2 was trying to get me all to himself, I would want him to say something to me about it.

Jersquall has always been, and always will be, an example of what every Home user should strive to be.
He was a gamer, a friend, a helping hand, a sounding board, a man with ideas and talent, and SOOO much more.
He is also an example of what every Home user should NOT be.
He has never been a braggart, a bully, a loudmouth, a FOULmouth, a pervert, a stalker, a defamer...the list goes on and on.
If Jers doesn't agree with you about something, he tries to discuss it with you in a way that will allow an amicable solution. But if he felt you were doing something right, you knew about that too. I have never heard of him taking credit for something he didn't do, nor shirking the "Hair Suit" when he messed up.
I can not honestly say that I have come across anyone, ANYONE, in Home or out here in the real world that has the integrity that I have witnessed in this man.
We could ALL use to be more like him.
This is startin to sound like a Eulogy, and in a way it is. A eulogy for an HCV, but not for the man himself...nor for the things that I KNOW he will continue to do regardless of whether he has the "Beacon" or not, whether he remains in Home or not.
I tip my top hat to you, Jersquall. Thank you for your Community service, and your friendship.

I feel like I let him down.. weird feeling I know. max is really a down right good guy.
Conrad is one of the most subtly awesome people on this forum, but for off-topic reasons.

Re: Saluting Jersquall
Heya Jers,
This will be short -n- sweet, Maybe.
I just want to say, Thank You for all you've done, over the past few years .
I've known of you on the forums way before the HCVs, let alone knew they existed.
You and I have our own way of doing stuff. "mine is most inhibited by time." I just want to give props. to a guy that
has been a mentor to me, even if no words is spoken. In my eyes you are the HCV program. You will be missed by all
of us still in it. Like I said Short n sweet. I have more, but it's left unsaid.
I just hope we that are still in it can live up to your LEGACY as an HCV.
P.s. As for Conrad, His upfront honesty may give him flak, But his words are always true, and he as well is always ready to assist.
Good bye Buddy, See ya as a civilian soon.

I just saw your post on the other page...
Wow. This is tough. I know you had mentioned it before, but I put the thought aside.
You've done a lot for the Home Community Volunteer program and the community itself. You have become an icon.
You have been honest and open and funny.
You have spent hours upon hours serving our community via Home, this forum and other media. I'm betting that each moment in a public space kept you busy, but it was also fun. I know you enjoy helping others as I do. As many do.
You will be missed, sir.
An icon.
I really don't know what to say as it feels as if an era has come to a close... Weird.
Everything will be cool, I know. The HCV will move on and continue to do great service. And you will too as a "civilian".
Thank you for being a partner and a friend. Thank you for everything, Jersquall.
And, thank you for your kind words and friendship.
Re: Saluting Jersquall[ Edited ]
Wow it's sad to see the HCV's lose one of their best. It almost doesn't seem real. But it is good to know that you will be able to have more free time to do events, podcasts, and be able to hang out more jers. I salute you jers, you were and truly are one of the best.
See you and everyone else on home.

Australian thrillseeker Erin Langworthy followed thousands of others over the past decade when she bungee jumped off a bridge across the Zambezi river at Victoria Falls in Africa. But the cord snapped while she was still at least 20 metres above the water, sending her on a potentially deadly plunge with the remains of the cord binding her ankles. She managed to swim to safety and was seriously bruised and scratched but had no broken bones

AAPL stock Stories August 5, 2015
The stock market can often seem an irrational place, and never more so than where AAPL is concerned. The company keeps reporting record sales, has typically out-performed analyst expectations, takes home almost the entire smartphone industry's profits and has so much cash it scarcely knows what to do with it – yet its share price is falling.
AAPL stock has fallen more than 14% since April, wiping $113B from the company's market valuation. It dropped 7% in the past month alone. That's the equivalent of McDonalds vanishing into thin air. What gives? expand full story

Fortune suggests Apple's results isn't the only factor at play, with investors perhaps also following Greenlight Capital's lead in moving out of other tech stock with particularly high price to earnings ratios – the measure of how a share price relates to its earnings.

Anna: The Sound of MusicMature
I was taking a walk through the sandy shores of the beach; thinking about how the day had gone by. The beach had left lots of surprises for me to discover. Made a few friends, got invited to a party which I completely disliked, and came back to the beach; feeling comforted by the smell of the salty water and the cool wind. It's quite surprising how you could feel at home in the places where you least expect it.
Just as I was staring at the sunset, I noticed a girl perched upon a rock, guitar in her hands, strumming a beautiful melody that was soothing to my ears. I walked over to her, listening to her play the guitar.
At once, I was taken into another world. Music was like magic to me. I completely adored it. I couldn't go one day without listening to some music; it was like a daily ritual to me. God gifted me with the talent of singing; which I felt grateful for. I don't like singing in front of others as I am shy in certain ways but at the same time, I couldn't help but hum along with the guitar's notes.
The girl looked up at me, acknowledging my presence but turned back to concentrate on her strumming. I sat down next to her on the sandy shore, bringing my knees to my chest, starting to sing aloud while enjoying the beauty that the sunset showered onto the beach.
Minutes passed and when she stopped playing, I looked up at her and found her staring at me.
"I couldn't help but sing along. You play the guitar really well; I think I could keep listening to you play on the whole day."
She smiled at me and didn't talk to me as we both turned our heads to see the sun slowly set, making the water shimmer. It was beautiful and I was happy I'd made a friend who had something in common with me.

All of the aggression and needle of the great rivalry that characterised Arsene Wenger v Jose Mourinho Part I in the last decade, but so little of the quality tonight that once made these two clubs the pre-eminent sides in English football.
There was plenty of pain in the December rain, largely inflicted, it should be said by Mourinho's foot soldiers or, as they were at times, the foot-up soldiers. Ten games and counting and Wenger's Arsenal have still not defeated a Mourinho side and whatever they might say at the Emirates, it is a record that rankles with the locals.
Mourinho was booed off at the end, along with referee Mike Dean, and regaled with "boring, boring Chelsea" from those left in the home seats around the tunnel. It was a criticism he leapt upon later, "I agree," Mourinho said. "I played against them 10 times and I never lost." Then, for reasons that were not entirely clear, he started singing a chant of his own "Funny, funny Jose", before adding, "ten times they don't win once."
Mind you, that was mild compared to the criticism of Arsenal for their appeal for what was a blatant red card when John Obi Mikel caught Mikel Arteta studs-up above the ankle in the first half. "They like to cry," Mourinho opined, "that's tradition". On the tackles itself he said that "Football is for men," and then sensing he may have strayed into dangerous territory added, "or for women with fantastic attitude."
If he was looking for a fight, Wenger did not rise to the bait, at least not tonight but as of now it feels like the old bad feeling is creeping back in. It is most definitely on again after the summer rapprochement. As for the Premier League title race, it feels as enthralling as ever.
It was not pretty but it was effective, Arsenal barely finding their rhythm in the first half.
Arsenal 0 Chelsea 0: Player ratings from the Premier League match at the Emirates
Arsenal 0 Chelsea 0: Player ratings from the Premier League match at the Emirates
WOJCIECH SZCZESNY: Did not have a save to make until 33rd minute. Only beaten once, but was saved by the bar. 6.
2/23 BACARY SAGNA: Had a quiet game. Poor crossing when in advanced position. 6.
3/23 PER MERTESACKER: Lucky to get away with an early barge on Fernando Torres, but kept Spaniard quiet throughout. 7.
4/23 THOMAS VERMAELEN: Calm and effective in neutering Chelsea threat. 7.
5/23 KIERAN GIBBS: Another impressive performance. Energetic. Not afraid to get forward and nearly created late goal for Giroud. 7.
6/23 MIKEL ARTETA: On end of two nasty challenges. Had little impact on game amid flood of Chelsea players in the middle of the park. 5.
7/23 AARON RAMSEY: Set up Olivier Giroud for what should have been a goal. Quiet game otherwise. 6.
8/23 TOMAS ROSICKY: Nasty sliding challenge on Cesar Azpilicueta. Harshly booked for tackle on Ivanovic when the defender actually dived. 5.
9/23 MESUT OZIL: Went AWOL again in another big game. Lost cool and got into an ill-advised slanging match with Ivanovic. 5.
10/23 THEO WALCOTT: Offered little on the attack and numerous corners failed to meet the head of a player in red. Booked. 5.
11/23 OLIVIER GIROUD: Another of Arsenal's players who went missing. Skewed a shot wide late on when he should have hit the target. 5.
PETR CECH: Barely had a thing to do all match. 6.
13/23 BRANISLAV IVANOVIC: Lost temper and clashed with Ozil. Dived to get Tomas Rosicky booked. 5.
14/23 GARY CAHILL: Stopped Olivier Giroud with two clinical interceptions. 8.
15/23 JOHN TERRY: Combined well with Cahill to keep Arsenal's pacy attack quiet. Combined with Cech to see a close range Giroud shot over the bar too. 7.
16/23 CESAR AZPILICUETA: Lucky to avoid booking for kick on Ramsey. Coped well with Walcott's pace though and cleared off line in injury time. 7.
17/23 RAMIRES: Lucky to just get a booking for a horror tackle on Arteta. 5.
18/23 JOHN OBI MIKEL: Another one who put in a dreadful tackle on Arteta. Somehow escaped punishment. 4.
19/23 FRANK LAMPARD: Hit bar with a first half strike. Otherwise ineffective. 6.
20/23 EDEN HAZARD: So-so by the Belgian's high standards. Substituted in the second half. 5.
21/23 WILLIAN: Got away with a trip on Walcott in his own area. Saw shot saved when perhaps should have crossed for others. 5.
22/23 FERNANDO TORRES: Looked sharp in first 10 minutes but faded thereafter. Was taken off for David Luiz late on. 5.
23/23 CHELSEA substitutes...
ANDRE SCHURRLE (on for Hazard, 72mins): Little impact. 5.
OSCAR (on for Willian, 77mins): Offered little to change the game. 5.
DAVID LUIZ (on for Torres, 86mins): Brought on to help slow the game down. 5.
It is Liverpool who lead at Christmas for the first time since 2008, second are Arsenal on goal difference with Manchester City one point behind on 35 and Chelsea on 34. With two points dividing the top five teams, the season is set perfectly - even if this game did not allow for any definitive judgements.
It was a bad night for referee Dean who should have sent off Mikel for his challenge on Arteta on 36 minutes, which met the excessive force criteria. Just seconds later there was a penalty appeal against Willian for a trip on Theo Walcott that looked plum, which was not given. Frank Lampard had rattled the crossbar minutes earlier, which was as close as Chelsea got to scoring.

Arsenal 'cry too readily' - Mourinho
Wenger: If I told you we'd be top at Christmas, you'd have told me I was mad!
And then in the second half it got that little bit more aggressive when Branislav Ivanovic caught Mesut Ozil with a high foot and the shoving and finger-pointing becoming ever more intense. But what is worth remembering is that not until Olivier Giroud forced a save from close range out of Petr Cech with six minutes of the game to play was there finally an effort on target from either side.
This was raw and attritional throughout. There were Arsenal trying desperately not to bow to the recent trend of history and succumb to Chelsea. And then there was Chelsea being, well, Chelsea.
It was a classic Mourinho performance: his team refusing to budge despite the pressure and, along the way, very little leeway given to his creative talents. Eden Hazard shimmered with promise in the first half but his manager gradually grew tired of him conceding possession and he was withdrawn for the more orthodox Andre Schurrle instead. When David Luiz came on for Fernando Torres with minutes remaining it was clear what direction Mourinho was taking.
Faced with risking defeat against a direct title rival, Mourinho settled for a draw. He had done so at Old Trafford earlier in the season, preferring to take his chances getting three points at Stamford Bridge.
The first half passed without incident until Lampard hit the bar following a nice diagonal ball from Hazard. Then came Mikel's lunge. Following that the ball was worked forward to Walcott in the penalty area and, quite frankly, things got worse for Dean. Willian stabbed his foot to get the ball away from Walcott in the penalty area and the Arsenal man went straight over the challenge with the ball untouched.
There was the old physical approach from Chelsea at the start of the game when Cesar Azpilicueta went through Aaron Ramsey. Lampard caught Bacary Sagna. Tomas Rosicky tried to level it up with fouls on Ramires, Hazard and Lampard. The concern for the home team was the anonymity of Mesut Ozil in that first half and Ramsey seemed a long way from his best this season.
It got no more refined after the break with another bad challenge on Arteta, this time from Ramires who was booked. Dean finally started reaching for the cards with Walcott going into the book for a trip on Azpilicueta. Rosicky's fouling earned him a place in the book. Remarkably, Mikel managed not to get his name taken.
It was a challenge by Ivanovic on Ozil, not a strong influence on the game against his former coach Mourinho, that really stoked things up and began the recriminations and pushing that suggest a game is reaching boiling point. Yet Arsenal were never able quite to convert the late pressure into a goal to decide the match.
There was a good chance for Giroud but he sliced the ball wide on 78 minutes running onto Ramsey's ball in behind the defence. Six minutes he finally got the first shot of the game on target and Cech proved equal to it. Later, Azpilicueta kicked a shot from Sagna off the line. While Chelsea lived dangerously they were never likely to be overwhelmed. John Terry and Gary Cahill were outstanding.
So it proved that Mourinho's men ended the game attacking and with a series of corners that, in the end, Arsenal defended well given the circumstances. There was something impressive too in the way that Arsenal, with Thomas Vermaelen partnering Per Mertesacker in the centre of defence, did not give in to the onslaught.
The goalless draw means that Chelsea end the calendar year without a goal away from home in the Premier League from one of their strikers. There was not a single shot on target from the away side and that told its own story. So far the indications have been that Mourinho will not sign a new striker in January although that is a problem that surely needs fixing.
Yet for all that, the obstinate old qualities in Mourinho's Chelsea remain. They may not be pretty to watch on nights like these but they served a cold reminder to Arsenal, and their resurgent new team, that these are the kind of obstacles that they will have to overcome if they have their eye on that first title since Mourinho first pitched up in England.

Modifying existing (old) framing to extend stair opening
3 Attachment(s)
I have a 100 year old home with a very low clearance (< 6 ft) above the stairs between the first and second floor. Moving furniture (or being tall) is really difficult in our home! Since I'm working on a reno on the second floor and have the floor joists exposed anyway, I thought I might take a stab at fixing the problem.
I've attached a couple of drawings showing the existing structure, and two options I've come up with for extending the stair opening by one joist bay. The second option is a little "cleaner", but it would involve more plaster repair. In both options I'm not sure what to do with the end of the new sistered joist where it meets the double brick wall. I'm hoping I can get away without cutting a new pocket into the brick, but I'll do it if I have to.
You are not my engineer, I know. I still want to hear from anyone who might have done something like this before to see what option looks the most sensible.
The second drawing is the safest--the last one uses scabs to hold the outside joist and ,while workable. is not as good as the one above ----
Thanks Oh'mike. The third drawing actually uses the stud below to support the extended header. The "scab" plates are just to keep the splice in-line. That said, the second drawing is easier to make anyway.
In both cases I'm relying on the stair wall below to take the vertical load from the splice in the header. I'm having a tough time convincing myself though, because the current building code prevents studs "on the flat" from being used as a structural wall (although that clearly wasn't the case in 1920).
Just as a follow up: I took wkearney99's advise. I reframed the wall below to extend it one more stud. Now the joist that I'll cut is supported from below, and I don't have to stress too much about sistering joists above. Thanks for all your help.

Extractive Metallurgy of Nickel, Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals
This book describes and explains the methods by which three related ores and recyclables are made into high purity metals and chemicals, for materials processing. It focuses on present day processes and future developments rather than historical processes.
Nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals are key elements for materials processing. They occur together in one book because they (i) map together on the periodic table (ii) occur together in many ores and (iii) are natural partners for further materials processing and materials manufacturing. They all are, for example, important catalysts ¿ with platinum group metals being especially important for reducing car and truck emissions. Stainless steels and CoNiFe airplane engine super alloys are examples of practical usage.
The product emphasises a sequential, building-block approach to the subject gained through the author¿s previous writings (particularly Extractive Metallurgy of Copper in four editions) and extensive experience. Due to the multiple metals involved and because each metal originates in several types of ore ¿ e.g. tropical ores and arctic ores this necessitates a multi-contributor work drawing from multiple networks and both engineering and science.
- Synthesizes detailed review of the fundamental chemistry and physics of extractive metallurgy with practical lessons from industrial consultancies at the leading international plants
- Discusses Nickel, Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals for the first time in one book
- Reviews extraction of multiple metals from the same tropical or arctic ore
- Industrial, international and multidisciplinary focus on current standards of production supports best practice use of industrial resources
Professor William George Davenport is a graduate of the University of British Columbia and the Royal School of Mines, London. Prior to his academic career he worked with the Linde Division of Union Carbide in Tonawanda, New York. He spent a combined 43 years of teaching at McGill University and the University of Arizona.
His Union Carbide days are recounted in the book Iron Blast Furnace, Analysis, Control and Optimization (English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Spanish editions).
During the early years of his academic career he spent his summers working in many of Noranda Mines Company¿s metallurgical plants, which led quickly to the book Extractive Metallurgy of Copper. This book has gone into five English language editions (with several printings) and Chinese, Farsi and Spanish language editions.
He also had the good fortune to work in Phelps Dodge¿s Playas flash smelter soon after coming to the University of Arizona. This experience contributed to the book Flash Smelting, with two English language editions and a Russian language edition and eventually to the book Sulfuric Acid Manufacture (2006), 2nd edition 2013.
In 2013 co-authored Extractive Metallurgy of Nickel, Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals, which took him to all the continents except Antarctica.
He and four co-authors are just finishing up the book Rare Earths: Science, Technology, Production and Use, which has taken him around the United States, Canada and France, visiting rare earth mines, smelters, manufacturing plants, laboratories and recycling facilities.
Professor Davenport¿s teaching has centered on ferrous and non-ferrous extractive metallurgy. He has visited (and continues to visit) about 10 metallurgical plants per year around the world to determine the relationships between theory and industrial practice. He has also taught plant design and economics throughout his career and has found this aspect of his work particularly rewarding. The delight of his life at the university has, however, always been academic advising of students on a one-on-one basis.
Professor Davenport is a Fellow (and life member) of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and a twenty-five year member of the (U.S.) Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration. He is recipient of the CIM Alcan Award, the TMS Extractive Metallurgy Lecture Award, the AusIMM Sir George Fisher Award, the AIME Mineral Industry Education Award, the American Mining Hall of Fame Medal of Merit and the SME Milton E. Wadsworth award. In September 2014 he will be honored by the Conference of Metallurgists¿ Bill Davenport Honorary Symposium in Vancouver, British Columbia (his home town).
"The strength of the book lies in the number of Tables comparing production details in different smelters and refineries around the world and the list of references at the end of each chapter. The book also includes many operating details for furnaces and other equipment as well as analyses of materials handled. This information must be considered as authoritative since the authors mention that they visited many plants and collected data on site... The book is a welcome addition to the metallurgical library and any one involved in the nickel industry must be aware of this book."--MEIBlog "A team of specialists from various companies and universities trace the extraction and processing of the three metals from ore in the ground to high-purity metals and chemicals. Nickel, cobalt, and platinum-group metals often occur together, are extracted together, and have similar properties. The topics discussed include smelting laterite concentrates to sulfide matte, extracting nickel and cobalt from sulfide ores, the slow cooling and solidification of converter matte, extracting cobalt from nickel laterite and sulfide ores, and smelting and converting sulfide concentrates containing platinum-group metals."--Reference and Research News, October 2012

Meeting the Doctor
"Randy come on!" I said for probably the third time in 2 minutes. "Put that thing away, we're here."
"Cool it broskee, I'm in the middle of battling Agatha.
I opened my mouth, ready to chew him out for whatever was keeping him, but I realized that I couldn't really blame him for anything. He was playing Pokemon. Everything else was second priority right now.
"Fine. Hurry up though. The others have already gone inside."
A few minutes, and many pokeballs later, Randy's gameboy had been stashed in his bag and we were headed inside.
Yes. Teenagers do still play Pokemon. At least... the cool ones do. Which makes Randy, Ed, Forrest, Craig, and Myself the coolest kids in the world.
The hospital foyer was actually kinda fun-looking, which makes sense if you think about it. When people check in mentally un-stable patients, they don't want to leave them at a place that resembles an evil scientists lab. If they do, then perhaps they belong in one themselves...
Sarina's father hadn't come down yet so we hung out in the lounge for a few minutes. Randy pulled his pokemon back out, and the rest of us guys followed suit. That left Karly and Sarina to chat while we waited for the doctor. I didn't listen to what they said, not because I was so completely engulfed in Pokemon that I didn't pay attention to anything else... it's just impolite. Yeah.
A few minutes later a man in jeans and a polo shirt stepped out of the elevator. Sarina didn't pay him much attention so I assumed that it wasn't her father. The man ambled over in our direction and just sort of... hovered near us.
He watched us long enough to pass into the "uncomfortable" zone and a few us traded annoyed glances when he wasn't looking at us. Eventually, the awkward grew unbearable and I stood up to confront the man.
"Um... is there something we could help you sir?"
"Hm? Oh. No. I'm just waiting for some folks."
"Some folks?"
"Yes. I'm supposed to lead them on a tour of the building. My daughter invited them."
I glanced at Sarina, who shrugged, and then I turned back to the man.
"Umm... what is your daughter's name?"
I looked back at Sarina, who gave me another confused look and a head shake.
"Is that her?" I asked, pointing to Sarina.
"When was this group supposed to arrive?"
It was noon.
"What were you going to do with them?"
"Give them a tour."
We were supposed to be given a tour.
"Where did they live?"
My brow furrowed, and I looked back at my friends who seemed just as confused as I was.
""Sir... are you sure we aren't the group you are waiting for?"
"Absolutely. I'd think I'd recognize my own daughter thank you.
"Oh. Yes... of course. I'm sorry."
"Oh it's no problem. She was bringing a friend and a few of her friend's friends."
This was too much of a coincidence.
"Sir. That's us."
"No it's not."
"Yes it is. We are from Sherburne, this girl is named Sarina, and I'm her friend."
"She said friend was handsome."
Behind me I could hear the guys unsuccessfully trying to hide some laughs. Even Sarina was trying not to smile.
"Sir I-"
"Listen BOY. I know what my daughter and her friends look like, and YOU. ARE. NOT. THEM."
"Hey! You don't need to start shouting. You were stalking us if I remember correctly... if anyone should get mad it's us."
The guy got up in my face and started poking me in the chest, "Listen hotshot maybe you should go and-"
Sarina came to my defense, "Listen dad just leave him alone. He's right."
I nodded and opened my mouth to say one last comment, then stopped.
I looked at Sarina. Sarina looked at the man. The man looked back at her. Very slowly, Sarina's face broke into a smile and grew a little red. The man also started to shake, and then the two of them burst out laughing.
"Sarina!" The man said between chuckles, "You ruined it!"
"I'm... sorry!" she answered back, "I didn't... try to! It was... just a slip of the tongue!"
And here I was wondering what the heck was going on.
The man turned to me and proffered a hand, "I'm Doctor Sweeney. Sarina's father. Thanks for being such a good sport!"
I shook his hand, still trying to make sense of this whole thing and it slowly began to dawn on me.
This whole thing was a joke set up between Sarina and her dad.
Wow. I dimly felt that I shouldn't be feeling as stupid as I was currently feeling, but I continued to feel stupid regardless.
"Don't feel bad son, I do this a lot. Now please, follow me, and we'll begin the tour!"

Why Tacamor?
Before we answer that question, let's consider a bigger one:
Why any call center?
Or more precisely, what benefits should you and your customers expect from your call center?
If your answers are anything like, "improved satisfaction from our customers, resulting in increased customer loyalty and profits for us," then you just answered that first question as well.
Do your answers include, "24/7 service" or "North American solution" or "Improved stability and security"? If so, then once again you've also answered that first question.
And on top of it all, if your answers had anything in there about, "Keeping costs down while improving our call center monitoring and reporting," well, you guessed it. Even more reasons for you to trust Tacamor with your call center operations.
At Tacamor, we focus on solving the challenges many companies face when hiring a call center:
- Finding and keeping great call center staff
- 24/7 operation
- Real-time call center monitoring
- Improving call center stability and security
- Reducing call center costs
Take a closer look, and when you're ready to talk to us directly, we're ready to listen to you… and your customers.

This handy little ruler from the Gear Squad has been made available to help you properly identify your drive shaft u-joints.
Simply place the ruler's notched end against the tab end of your yoke, see where the ruler falls against the opposite tab, and that will identify your yoke.
To measure your u-joint, place the tab end against the u-joint cup squarely and view size at opposite cup. Due to age and wear, the caps may not be exactly on the line but very close.
Please refer to the u-joint tech sheet in the Gear Squad Tech Center more information.

Quick easy replacement, fits like it is supposed to, and is decently priced. The lamp that came with it seemed to be a single filiment type so it was on all the way the whole time (not capable of blinking)... easy fix, just swap in the appropriate 1157A lamp and you are good to go. Should the lamp that it came with work, YES, is it an ordeal worth returning over, NO, since it is not even listed
