Need interior paint color ideas
I live in a chalet style cabin with a loft. From the kitchen and living room you can see almost every room. It has always been painted white and I am looking for a new color. The ceiling is 26 ft. It has nice wood cabinets and wood window and door trims with wood railing in the living room to the upstairs. It's only 29x29 so I would like a color that would not make it look smaller. My furniture is a moss green color. Any ideas for me?
a picture is worth a thousand words... but moss green is a cold color (while pleasing to me personally). Opposite the color wheel a nice light lavender would be warmer, complimentary and not change the feel of the size of the space. Find a painting or fabric with these colors, one that matches your furniture... and match the paint to the lavender. Note that it will look brighter and lighter in the can so dont be afraid to try it.
Another color to look at would be one of its tertiary compliments (1/3 around the wheel) perhaps a kind of nutmeg earthy color, too dark will make the space smaller though.
good luck

Flowing tops paired with skinny bottoms return as the signature look of the collection and are freshened up for the season with lace details, light airy fabrics, elegant florals and accents of neon for an aesthetic that is classic, superbly feminine and cool.

Nelson's Navy: The Ships, Men, and Organization, 1793-1815
by Brian Lavery
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The master work by one of Britain's foremost naval historians. The book is a comprehensive treatment of the Royal Navy, with a sideways glance at the navy's competitors -- the French, Spanish, Russians, Americans, and others. First published in 1989, it has been revised and updated in 2012 to take advantage of the many sources opened to the user by the internet. While it was not possible to replace the black-and-white illustrations of the original, they have now been supplemented by three colored sections. The section on "tactics" (which includes strategy) has been almost entirely rewritten.
Having become enamored of Patrick O'Brian - as must be obvious to everyone by now - I did a search on his name to locate all his other works, In doing so, I stumbled across Nelson's Navy, by Brian Lavery for which O'Brian wrote the foreword. Lavery has written an encyclopedic introduction (if that's not oxymoronic)to life in the British Navy during the time of the Napoleonic Wars. He begins with a summary of the European political context, an understanding of which is essential to grasp the nuances of the O'Brian novels.
Every detail of working a ship, from construction costs and methods to a seaman's necessities to fleet administration and pictures of authentic uniforms is carefully explained. One section I found to be of particular interest was a discussion of "pressing' sailors for the fleet. The press gang myth depicts them descending on a community and dragging off every able-bodied male in sight, sometimes from the loving arms of his wife suckling their latest child. The fact is that by law only seamen could be impressed. Captains
had no wish to populate their ships with unskilled landsmen who didn't know a staysail from the orlop.
Seamen hated the law, however, because it meant that those in the merchant service, where in time of war pay was higher because of the shortage of sailors, could be dragged off to serve his Majesty for less money and with little hope of shore leave. Unlike merchant sailors, who could leave the ship at the end of the voyage, naval sailors were stuck for the duration of the war, which lasted for many years. Naval sailors would be transferred from one ship to another, rarely allowed on shore for fear of desertion. Once pressed
they were quartered on hulks in the harbor until their ship became available.
Ironically, it was the strength of the British Navy that protected the landsman from impressment or draft
into the army, as the navy was so successful defending the shores against invasion. The problem was that impressment (and perhaps the modern draft) was the vestige of a feudal society incompatible with the concept of individual liberty that the American and French revolutions were bringing to the minds of the average individual, who began to look askance at the practice of impressment. Despite attempts to regulate the press gangs, e.g., creating a formal impress Service, abuses occurred frequently among the informal press
gangs sent out by individual ships to fill out their company (a first-rater ship-of-the-line might require 600 men).
For those wanting even more detail on the sociology of Napoleonic era British seamen, I can avidly recommend Michael Lewis's [b:A Social History of the Navy 1793-1815|446048|A Social History of the Navy 1793-1815|Michael Arthur Lewis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174848225s/446048.jpg|434752] This is a very readable study of the behavior and conditions on British men-of-war during that time period.
As was typical of the class-conscious society of the time, there were those men of the "quarterdeck" who came from the more privileged class and as gentlemen could become officers; then there were those important workers who inhabited the "lower-deck." These consisted mostly of volunteers, impressed reluctants, and products of the Marine Society (an organization Newt would have been proud of) that took impoverished youth, provided them with food, clothing, and rudimentary naval training before sending them off to sea as servants on board ship. They eventually could work their way up through the ranks of seamen to the quarterdeck. It was possible for a lower deck inhabitant to become an officer (hence entering the upper class as well) by meritorious service in battle or at sea and high marks on the examinations, but it was rare.
First published in 1989 and reprinted many times since, 'Nelson's Navy' is a comprehensive overview of Britain's navy during the 'classic' period of the Napoleonic wars. Just about all bases are covered from the organisation of the entire navy to running a sick bay, together with an outline of the relevant wars for background context. If there is anything omitted then I can't think what it could be!
The reader is treated to an excellent grounding in all subjects from intricate details such as the construction of a Coles-Bentinck chain pump to wider issues like behaviour in victory or defeat. Of course, the scope of such a book precludes extended discourse on any individual aspect, but is more than adequate for most readers, though I would like to have seen a 'further reading' section for those who wish to explore in more depth.
Lavery is an acknowledged expert in this field. His narrative is, as always, authoritative yet easily assimilated, and accompanied by a wealth of monochrome illustrations throughout: maps, photos, charts, diagrams, plans, lists and drawings, nearly all of which are taken from contemporary sources [well, not the photos .... obviously!] to provide an essential ingredient of this fascinating book.
As the great Patrick O'Brian writes in his foreword "... anyone who has read and digested the work will have a more than ordinarily sound knowledge of Nelson's Navy". High praise indeed and well justified.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0870212583, Hardcover)First published in 1990, this encyclopedic yet highly readable work gives an indepth description of the Royal Navy in Lord Nelson's time. Filled with over four hundred illustrations, the book is divided into fourteen sections that deal with the design and construction of ships, the navy's administration, and life at sea. Other topics include shiphandling and navigation, gunnery techniques and fighting tactics, and a discussion of foreign navies of the day. Nelson's Navy is an important source book for the naval historian, a valuable reference for the enthusiast, and a revelation to the general reader.

What's it about? As director of creative development Rasmus Hojengaard opens the floor for questions after introducing Crysis 3 he could probably have predicted the first volley: 'How will the shooter look on PC versus console?' 'How has CryEngine 3 evolved?' 'How does it measure up to DICE's Frostbite 2.0?'
I wonder if deep down he's happy that the debate over those undoubtedly lush visuals swamps other aspects of the game, or if he would rather the assembled press asked how the new bow weapon changes up the flow of hostile encounters, or how the sandbox approach to tactics means you can, in theory at least, play through the game utilising entirely different tactics?
One thing's for sure, only the merest of lip service is paid to Crysis 3's plot, an element of Crytek's tactical shooter which has seemingly become little more than a device by which excuses are made to integrate aliens, high-tech devices and rainforest-engulfed cities all into the same game.
Hojengaard almost admits as much, telling us that the New York's 'urban rainforest' setting was designed more to give players (and developers) something to look at, mouth agape, than it was to further the plot. Critics might point out that it also handily meant that old stages could be recycled – albeit with added green hues – though as Hojengaard points out the return to New York does at least highlight the devastation those same areas have suffered in the intervening years; this third outing set in 2047, some 24 years later.
There is a reason of course for the extra vegetation – something to do with the nefarious CELL corporation encouraging such tree growth by erecting huge nanodromes over the world's cities, all with the goal of battling back the expanding Ceph alien race. To be fair I wasn't paying much attention either, content to sit and stare at the pretty images on the big screen; at least during this small (and impressive) dose.
Hojengaard explains how a rejuvenated Prophet (who returns sporting a now Ceph-infected nanosuit) will explore the seven wonders of the rainforest as he progresses through the game. Why seven? Because Crytek's team identified seven characteristics – from densely vegetated environments, to mountains and lakes – before deciding each would make a splendid centrepiece to showcase Crysis' rather explosive shoot-outs, and what tools you have at your disposal for just that.
It seems Crytek must have been somewhat underwhelmed by the collection of weapons handed to the player previously, for Prophet suddenly has whole repertoires of brand new armaments up his sleeves. The aforementioned bow is no ordinary tool, but rather rapid-firing launcher of electro and explosive arrows amongst others.
Then there's the chance for Prophet to make use of Ceph weaponry, his modified and infected suit now capable of interfacing with the alien's devices and so giving him access to plasma guns and similarly explosives armaments. Even the usual array of human-made guns have been overhauled, the Typhoon Metalstorm rifle firing a staggering 500 rounds per second for example.
In gameplay terms such fire power is being described as Prophet's transition from 'hunted to hunter' as the tables are turned on CELL and Ceph alike. That said, the footage I was privy too didn't quite capture such a shift in approach.
Sure, Prophet's suit makes him formidable – an unsuspecting soldier being smashed across the dome by a right hook for example – but that didn't mean he was able to emerge from the shadows all together, with Ceph scorcher tanks sending him cowering into cover for example.
Thankfully Prophet's nanosuit comes with improved bells and whistles beyond the usual cloak and strength enhancements. For example, remote hacking – which appeared not unlike that seen in EA's recently released Syndicate – allows him to commandeer automated guns and so turn the tide while sowing confusion amongst enemy ranks.
Worth the wait? For the visual wizardry alone Crysis 3 is surely worth a look – the juxtaposition of concrete and floral jungles providing a stunning backdrop on which to do battle. No doubt those who like to obsess over such qualities will point to the PS3 and Xbox 360 potentially holding back the PC version, as they did with Crysis 2. Concerns do however remain with regards to Crytek painting a flowing storyline as engrossing as those graphics, for even the prettiest of diversions requires a little substance if it's to command the attention for the long term.

text: "I cried out to the Lord, begging Him that He give me the means to be able to do something to win some souls to His service, since the devil was carrying away so many, and that my prayer would do some good since I wasn't able to do anything else. I was very envious of those who for love of our Lord were able to be engaged in winning souls, though they might suffer a thousand deaths. And thus it happens to me that when we read the lives of the saints that they converted souls, I feel much greater devotion, tenderness, and envy than over all the martyrdoms they suffered. This is the inclination the Lord has given me, for it seems to me that He prizes a soul that through our diligence and prayer we gain for Him, through His mercy, more than all the services we can render Him."

What can we do? Apparently, nothing. From our living rooms, watching our TV's, it's seems like an ocean away. Directly opposite to that, no, it's not. It's right within our grasp. We can do something about it.
For starters, we can always sign that petition; we can always write letters to our representatives in central governments; we can always donate to good causes; we can help by raising awareness to human rights. ALL human rights.
We can learn to see through the smokescreens insidiously wedged between ourselves and life's events. There is a world of possibilities, a world of potentialities. What we need is that initial kickstart to get things from mind to matter.
It's hightly hoped that by bettering ourselves, we will be able to better the world. Put right things that are wrong and eliminate wrong things that take on a mask of truth. We can do that.
Luckily for us, we now have the Internet which has ushered in The Age of Transformation, an age which has completely transformed our way of thinking. And it can be our ally. Let's use it.
Good luck in your world.

Indians still talking to Brantley, Kipnis
The Cleveland Indians continue to discuss contract extensions with left fielder Michael Brantley and second baseman Jason Kipnis. But for Brantley, at least, the landscape has changed.
Brantley, who turns 26 on May 15, moved from center field to left after the Indians signed free agent Michael Bourn to a four-year, $48 million contract.
The Indians began talking to Brantley began before they signed Bourn. Brantley's long-term value almost certainly is lower in left than it is in center, potentially complicating negotiations.
Brantley becomes eligible for arbitration next season, Kipnis the year after. In each case, the Indians would want to buy out the player's three arbitration years, then multiple years of free agency. That probably would mean a deal of at least five years for Brantley and at least six for Kipnis.
If Brantley declined to sign an extension, he would become a free agent entering his age 30 season.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

Prepare for the winter holidays with Williams-Sonoma Holiday Entertaining by Georgeanne Brennan, featuring recipes like Antipasto Platter (Three Variations); Leek Soup with Pancetta and Bread Crumbs; and Baked Ham with Spiced Cider Glaze.
Serves 8 to 10
A whole baked ham is a welcome sight on nearly any holiday table; plus, it is easy to prepare. Carve the ham at the dining table and serve each guest, or set the sliced ham on a buffet and let guests serve themselves.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cider, the cinnamon sticks, 6 of the cloves, and the star anise. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. (The spiced cider can be made up to 24 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.)
Cut away and discard any skin on the ham, and trim the fat to 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Using a sharp knife, score the fat on the upper half of the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting about 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep. Stick the remaining cloves at the corners of the diamonds. Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil, and then put a rack in the pan. Place the ham, fat side up, on the rack. Bake for 1-1/4 hours.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and mustard and mix well. Pat half of the sugar mixture over the scored surface of the ham. Stir the spiced cider into the remaining mixture. Continue to bake, basting several times with the cider mixture, until the ham is glazed and shining, about 1 hour longer.
Transfer the ham to a carving board and tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes. Carve the ham, arrange on a warmed platter, garnish with the herb sprigs, and serve.
Serving Tip
If you have leftover ham, use it to make ham sandwiches on good-quality bread with your favorite mustard, or chop into small pieces and add to a frittata.

Ancient Use of Beeswax
By Ol' Drone
Beeswax is only one of the several beneficial products of the honeybee hive, and is used in hundreds of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its unique composition is a blend of esters of wax and fatty acids and long chain hydrocarbons. The nectar sugars, glucose and fructose, are actually "short chain" hydrocarbons. The melting point is 144 degrees F and the flash point is 399 degrees F.
How Wax Is Made
Bees consume eight pounds of honey to produce one pound of beeswax. Young bees about two weeks old secrete tiny flakes of wax from eight glands on the underside of the abdomen while the hive temperature is 91-97 degrees F. Older, foraging bees do not produce wax.
Used for Centuries
The oldest human use of beeswax has been reported in a finding from South Africa. A lump of beeswax mixed with a poisonous resin from the Euphorbia plant and wrapped with vegetal twine was used for "hafting" purposes. Hafting is the method of securing an arrowhead to the shaft of an arrow.
Dating of this piece indicated that it was at least 40 million years old. The combination of beeswax and Euphorbia sap for hafting is well suited for strength and preservation of the otherwise "biodegradable" fiber twine.
In addition to the preservation properties of the wax/herb sap combination, its toxic effect of the twine on the arrowhead probably poisoned the prey being hunted. Imagine the smart use of natural materials 40 million years ago!

Trinity Symposium 2013 is funded in part by the Australian College of Theology.

If You Could Remove Any Show From TV What Would It Be? [POLL]
I hate that my kids watch as much TV as they do. They are constantly on the move so when we do have time to be home, I let them relax and watch the tube. But they aren't channel flippers. They watch pretty much one show…all day long. Spongebob Squarepants is on a constant loop at our house.
It drives me CRAZY! So I put a question up on Facebook to see what shows you would cancel if you could. Here are the top three answers:
1. Jersey Shore
I'm with you. Get rid of anything that has to do with this show. Snooki, JWoww, all of them can go. Maybe I'm just jealous that they make so much more money than I do for being a bunch of rude idiots but I wouldn't mind if that part of American culture went away.
(WARNING: Video NSFW for language.)

2. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
Her real name is Alana Thompson but she's known as Honey Boo Boo. I have to admit, I've never actually seen this spinoff from the TLC series "Toddlers and Tiaras." I also have to admit that I hope that my life is never boring enough that my best option is to sit in front of my television watching the worst parenting experiment ever. Who in the world ever thinks it's a good idea to feed your kid a mixture of Mountain Dew and Red Bull?? Shame on her mom.

3. Teen Mom
MTV thought that they would be scaring kids away from having sex too early by airing the trials and tribulations of teen moms. But instead, in some cases the teens thought, "if they can do it, so can I". Maybe not such a well thought out series.

First off let me say I've got a GM supplier discount to bring the two cars to an equal footing price wise.
I have an RSX that was nailed by a drunk driver. I'm going to be selling it and getting a new car. As much as I loved that car, I'm not going to buy the same car twice. Something with a similar feel to that car is what I'm looking for.
I was seriously sold on the '04 WRX with the premium package. Then I drove the 9-3 Arc. Now I'm torn. I'd be getting the 6 speed.
The new 9-3s solved all of the torque steer and turbo lag problems Saab had been known for. They come with more amenities than you can shake a stick it. And they make a great sleeper with a classy and unique look. The stock turbo is supposed to be good for low 14s and there are several performance chips and aftermarket turbos to be had to go even faster if you care to. And it's got true luxury car features.
Anyone else compare these cars while shopping?
I've also looked at the Accord Coupe, Mazda 6, and TSX. I'm looking for something that's sporty, fun to drive, and reliable. I don't really race and I'm not into modding yet. But I love a spirited drive on winding roads as much as the next guy.
Tempted to hold out for the 9-2(WRX in Saab's clothing) next year as well.

The call came in with a big chip out of the insert, two cracks in the insert and a crack in the barrel.
I wrote him right away and he immediately got extremely defensive (as seen in screen shots of his texts below) which tells me that he knew what was up in the first place. I called him and told him I wanted my money back and would send the call back and he claims the call was shipped in perfect condition and told me "I can send the call back but if I send a chipped call back he isn't giving me my money back and I can go find a lawyer." He was cool with me sending the money as a gift so the 3% wouldn't be taken out for him and then made sure to let me know I should have paid the 3% extra to paypal to rub it in.
After going back and forth and me trying to reason with him and him not owning up to what he had done he came out and said he had pictures of the call before it left the house… those of course never showed up after I asked for them over and over again. After saying he had pictures and I asked him to show them he hasn't answered any of my texts or calls since.
The only info I have of his is below so if anyone knows who this is please help me out...

It's Back!…
The Annual Event for the
Savvy Business Owner,
who wants more from life and to find
out why they are here…
Life Success Secret Finally Revealed… "Why Oprah, Richard Branson And Every Famous Person Are Successful…
And How You
Can Have Success Too!"
*** 8-9th October 2016 ***
(Early Bird Tickets Available Till August 31st)
Revolutionary Workshop uncovers how to use these simple secrets in your everyday life… to go from ordinary to extraordinary in 12 months or less. Give Me Just 2 Days and I'll Show You How!
Dear Friend,
If you are sick of waking up day after day wondering if there is more to life… or want to be excited about what you do again… then you are definitely in the right place.
You see, modern day life can move so quickly. It sweeps you up and drags you along on autopilot until one day you realise… you don't event like what you are doing! By then many people think it's too late to do anything about it, so they continue on with their unfulfilling life.
Perhaps the most confronting truth people face today, is the realisation they have spent their life working towards goals set by other people. For other people! Eventually working out, what they were pursuing, was never their dream… it was someone else's.
Now, it may sound like a lot doom and gloom. But it's not! I couldn't handle it if it was!
So here's the good news! The best years of your life are yet to come!
How would I know?
Well, because I have successfully coached many people through this part of their life. And now they are finally living the life they had always dreamed of. I have also been through this myself, but ahead of myself… I should introduce myself don't you think?
My name is Shar Moore, and I am known as the "YWoman!" I have been helping people like you to reach their full potential by using the little known secrets used by the celebrities mentioned above. I've even won an International Gold Stevie Award for the work I do with women, just like you!
And the best part… I know I can do it for you too. Just like I did for myself and many others.
You see when you have the type of "Life Smarts" and use the success secrets I use… you can't help but be successful in any situation because when you do.
You Can Triumph Over Adversity And
Bounce Back Again!
Like I did, when I lost my business after the 2010 Queensland floods. I pretty much lost everything and things were looking very bleak indeed! I was facing bankruptcy, but I knew that I had a bigger purpose than what I had been living
It was a difficult time of my life… but it gave me my biggest learning. I could make it through anything as long as I had a solid "Y!"
You see everyone has a "Y"… the problem is most people don't know what it is or are too afraid to share it with others.
Keen to share my new found knowledge with others, I set up a high end annual experience for women, called the Elysian Experience events and the "YMag" magazine, to help business owners connect and share their message with others. The events and magazine turned out to be a huge success and more people wanted to know how I was able to go from "Broke to BMW in 18 Months."
As I shared my story and I spoke to people, I began to see how unique I was. People were struggling to find motivation or find their groove in life… and there I was with a deeply emotional experience turning it around and enjoying every moment of my life. I started to think "What could I do to inspire more people?" Then like a flash! It came to me…
People Need Help To Find Their "Y"…
And I Am The Right Woman To Help Them Do It!
Although the "YMag" gave great tips and guidance… it wasn't quite enough. People needed more "one to one" help and attention. The "YWeekend" Workshop was born!
I thought this would be the best and quickest way to share the information so people could walk away knowing their why and having an action plan to implement it straight away!
Now, I know you have probably heard of people who have been to a "motivational," "life changing" seminar or workshop before… maybe you've been to a few yourself!
I know I have! And because they were so filled with artificial hype and rah-rah… it was almost impossible to keep the momentum going afterwards.
It is ok, it is not your fault and you are definitely not alone…
Rah-Rah Seminars Work In The Short Term… But What Happens When You Go Home Back To Your Real Life?
Usually the only people who can live their "Y" after the event are the presenters. They are living their dream of motivating people. And it is a great dream… they just need to empower other people to live their life as well. They are too busy teaching people what the "Y" is and not how to find it and live it!
There is a big difference between motivation and empowerment. Which is why I have decided to do things very differently!
The "YWeekend" Workshop is all about empowering and inspiring people to discover their "Y" and how to live it. Because once you know your "Y"… your life changes dramatically.And always for the better.
Have you ever heard someone you know say "I don't know what I want to be when I grow up!" Perhaps you have even said it yourself. As funny as it sounds… there is a deeper, darker side to that simple statement…
It Is Really Showing A Person Who Is Lost…
And Doesn't Know Their "Y!"
Recently, I was talking to a friend of mine who was exactly like that. She is a naturally humorous person and used to think it was funny to say she didn't know what she wanted to be when she grew up. Unsurprisingly, her life was a complete mess. She would bounce around from job to job, she couldn't stay too long in the one career… she was trying to work out what she wanted to do. That was until one day she woke up and decided to do a bit of soul searching to find her "Y."(And what an amazing "Y" it is!)
She finally discovered her passion… the thing in life which makes her heart sing. She definitely knows what she wants to do now!
Hear what Doug got out of the YWeekend:
Doug Newitt – Owner of Apothecarie Naturapath Centre Cleveland QLD
He now has products and packages that he can infuse into his business immediately, all based around his passion and Y, which is to help people live a healthy life. Doug now understands what it takes to stand out from the crowd and he has realised what has been holding him back!
Not too bad for a man, who only a few years ago, was struggling in business and wanted to make a difference and get paid for it! So what made the difference? Knowing his "Y" and living it because…
Your "Y" Is Your Whole Reason Why You Are Here!
So what is your "Y" and why is it so important to find it?
Great question! Your "Y":
- Is why you do what you do
- Your whole purpose of being here
- Fuels your success
- Is what you are the most passionate about
When you know your "Y" your life becomes easier. I know this from experience. Which is why I have created the "YWeekend".

Pauline Longdon – Founder of The Copy Alchemist
You may be wondering though…
How Is The "YWeekend" Workshop Different
To Any Other Workshop?
Well, here's just a quick sample of what I'll share with you at the workshop:
- How most people are totally unaware of the gifts and talents they have… and how you can easily uncover yours (Once you do this your life takes on new meaning like never before!)
- Discover how you have been hiding from yourself by procrastinating and staying in an uncomfortable "comfort" zone (you'll know what signs to look for so it never happens again)
It is time to stop hiding!
- Why knowing your "Y" is the secret key to the success of almost every famous person in history (I say almost, because there are some celebrities who don't have a clue and it shows! They never make a big difference and their "star" dulls very quickly!)
- A fail safe way to find your "Y" by looking at your past (we all have patterns which are repeated and when you can see them, you can unlock them and change them!)
- How to see the big picture through the clutter of your life (Life can get overwhelming and it can be hard to see clearly… this one tip alone, is worth the investment you'll make in the "YWeekend" Workshop!)
- Discover how our friends see us… we rarely see ourselves objectively so it is always inspiring to see what our friends see in us (you will be surprised at how this simple exercise boosts your confidence and gives you clarity on your passion!)
- How to stop waiting for all your ducks to be in a row before you start living your purpose (too many people are waiting for everything to be perfect, meanwhile their life is passing them by!)
- How to get off the treadmill and engage with your life in a truly dynamic way (your days of "Passion Procrastination" are over!)
- The importance of implementation (it is easy to find your "Y"…but the fun starts when you start to live it!)
- Why you need to stop making excuses or apologising for what you are good at or find easy to do (Break out of the "Tall Poppy" mould and embrace your true gifts… when you keep your gifts to yourself, you stop other people from reaching their highest potential)
- How to turn your "Y" into a business and share it with the people who need it (There is nothing wrong with making money from helping people! Big businesses do it every day… now it is your turn!)
- Plus much, much more!
As you can see, the "YWeekend" Workshop is jam packed with all the important "need to know" information about how to find and start living your "Y!"
This Is A Closed Door, Exclusive Event…
And I Have Some Good, Bad And Sad News…
The good news is… I am limiting the workshop to 30 people!
Why? Well, this way I can spend quality time on you and your "Y" in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Are you ready for the bad news?
I am limiting the workshop to only 30 people!
I only run the "YWeekend" Workshop once a year and places are filling up fast. How can that happen when I have only just launched the Workshop?
You see,even before I officially announced this workshop… I had people eagerly contacting me wanting to book in!
It seems some of my clients and friends can't keep their mouths closed. I have to laugh though, they are so supportive of me and my "Y" (which I will share with you at the "YWeekend". It is quite a big one!) I love it and it shows me I am doing the right thing with my life.
Now the sad news is… 7 of the 30 places have already been taken. Even before I had worked out what the investment for the weekend would be and long before I told anyone about the stunning location. They were giving me their credit card numbers and telling me to secure their place. (I dutifully did what I was told! I mean to say… what kind of a friend would I be if they missed out on a spot!) So they are definitely going to be there…
The Only Person Not Assured Of Being There Is You…
And You're The Only One Who Can Fix That!
The "YWeekend"Workshop is a wonderful opportunity to find your purpose, passion… your "Y" in a luxurious setting, with a supportive team of experts to help you unlock your true potential.
When you come to the "YWeekend" Workshop, you'll get full "Access All Areas" to my vast knowledge and experience over the 2 days… as well as making lasting friendships and connections with dynamic, like-minded attendees.
The Workshop starts on the 8-9th October on the Gold Coast. And the best news of all… it is being held at the luxurious and breathtaking Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove Resort!
For me there is no better location to discover your "Y" than a 5 star resort. Why? Well, it is a snapshot of what is possible for you in your life.
And, because I am still buzzing from the last one we ran …
I wanted to give you something extra special!

The Secret to Acquiring a Bad Credit Student Loan
Source: Flickr
It will not be easy, and you can wager that your search to find someone going to provide you a bad credit student loan will certainly take some doing, but with determination, you're likely to discover someone willing to gamble on you and money your tuition expenditures for another year or 2. However, be advised that if you already have actually collected bad credit, you're probably going to just discover loans that include high rate of interest connected. The good news is that you won't have to begin repaying that student loan up until you're finished with school, so you can begin planning early to repay it. One of the mistakes most students make is to neglect the fact that sooner or later, they're going to need to begin repaying the hundreds, thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of countless dollars of student loans that have actually accumulated during institution of higher learning researches. The majority of students don't even think about those loans till that very first billing statement comes, often weeks or a number of months after you've gotten that hard-earned diploma. If you currently have a bad credit report, it will certainly be in your best interest to begin putting cash away throughout the course of your college education in an effort to pay back those loans once you're finished with studies, and to be able to show any banker or money lender that you currently have such an approach in location. You will not likely discover your school going to finance you a loan if you currently have a bad credit report, and possibly not even your local bank branch, either. A bad credit student loan might also depend upon whether you have collateral to protect such a loan. If you don't, you'll be offered an unsecured loan, which automatically includes greater interest rates. While you may shrug at the difference in between a few points of interest, those couple of points may indicate thousands of dollars by the time you've finished paying back those loans. Always search when it pertains to seeking any type of student loan, and if you have bad credit, it's essential to tread meticulously and gradually. Take your time, never sign on the dotted line without thinking about terms offered for a minimum of 24-HOUR, and never, ever let someone tell you that you need to decide right there and after that or the offer is rescinded. Numerous lenders prey on those with a bad credit report, so you have to look out and know a couple of basic terms when looking for a loan under those conditions. When getting a bad credit loan, look around for those lenders who provide the best rates. You have to accept that you may be asked to pay 18-24 % interest on any loan quantity, which will certainly indicate thousands of additional dollars. Loan services are developed to assist others, but not for selfless factors. Everybody's out to make a dollar, and lenders are no different. They may be available in convenient at the time, but bear in mind that any money owed is a debt that has to be paid back – in some way, eventually.

Sometimes, when the wind blows, the rain lacerates across the acres and the fairways bump the ball around like a pinball machine, it is time to tear up the rankings and look instead for the golfers who know how best to cope. On Sunday, a tubby fellow from Portrush on the coast of Northern Ireland, with a thirst for the black stuff and a liking for fast cars, in his 20th attempt at the Open, did that better than anyone else. Before this championship his ranking was a nice symmetrical 111.
Then glance again at the top 20-ranked players in the world and then the other 19 of the top 20 souls who found a way to manoeuvre the ball round the unforgiving fairways and greens of Royal St George's. There were Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson and Steve Stricker, Americans all. The South African Charl Schwartzel, winner of the Masters this year, was there as well. And Europe? Martin Kaymer, the German and current holder of the USPGA title stood alone.
But this was a championship for the unranked, the unfancied and the non-Europeans. And for the old 'uns, too. Tom Watson, a 61‑year‑old with a pair of new hips, produced perhaps the most celebrated hole-in-one in the game's history and a memorable third round. The winner is 42 years old, Stricker 44, Davis Love III 47, Mickelson 41, and Thomas Bjorn, the Dane, second here last time and in only as a substitute, was fourth this time and is 40.
Of the expected European challengers there was little sign. The world's No1 and No2 players, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, failed to make the cut, while the brouhaha surrounding Rory McIlroy proved just that when it came to unfamiliar conditions. As one commentator put it, he played US Open golf on an Open Championship course in Open Championship conditions, and has a way to go. Instead, beyond Clarke, Kaymer and Bjorn, the European flag was carried by Sergio García, Simon Dyson, the sole England challenger in a championship where the hope was for an English winner on an English course, Raphaël Jacquelin, and Freddie Jacobson. Half of the top 20 are Americans.
Yet beyond the lessons handed out by the old hands, there were some who have taken them on board and embraced the cultural change that is required to conquer the most demanding links courses in extreme conditions. On Sunday was one where some young guns, Americans all, showed their mettle. Johnson, in second place overnight, and with the week's other ace in the first round, had to be carried along in the slipstream of goodwill that was propelling Clarke to his destiny.
For 13 and a half holes, he was challenging Clarke with a figure that, had he parred his way in, would have seen him in a play-off. Instead, from the 14th fairway, with a wicked crosswind from left to right, he carved his second shot to the par five away to the right and out of bounds over the fence that separates St George's from its neighbouring links, Prince's. It was probably the ultimate defining moment of the week: it gave Clarke a clear run-in with a margin for error. Johnson is 27 years old, a Ryder Cup player already, and now an Open Championship contender.
He, though, is the elder statesman, for there, peas in a pod in joint fifth, were another pair of Ryder Cup players, Anthony Kim, 26, and Rickie Fowler, who is 22 and inevitably throughout the week had to endure shouts from a thousand would-be Biancas without quite knowing why, which must have been unnerving. Fowler, never a winner as a professional but making the US Ryder Cup team in his rookie year, produced one of the rounds of the championship, two under par, on the third day to put himself in contention and shrugged off a history of duff final-round efforts to hammer out a staccato of pars in Bjorn's company, until dropping shots at the 14th and 16th.
It had been, he said afterwards, "fun", although all American golfers seem to say that ever since Tiger started using the word. But bedraggled as he looked at times, he seemed like he genuinely did have fun. He might have holed some more putts yesterday (but what golfer ever believes he has holed enough) but knows he has the game now, the shots and the imagination, to win this title one day. Level par over the course of the weekend, in those conditions, is a monumental effort for a golfer in his professional infancy.
Kim, on the other hand, is in his fifth season as a professional, and has three PGA tour wins to his credit. As with Fowler, he produced a level‑par performance over the weekend, two rounds of 70, to ensure that he will be at Royal Lytham and St Annes next summer. He was able to feel the buzz that surrounds a champion golfer, Mickelson, when he gets on a roll and the crowd react. "I think I know who they were rooting for," he mused. Maybe one day.

Gate-level Morphogenetic Evolvable Hardware for Scalability and Adaptation on FPGAs
Lee, Justin A. & Sitte, Joaquin (2006) Gate-level Morphogenetic Evolvable Hardware for Scalability and Adaptation on FPGAs. In Stoica, Adrian, Arslan, Tughrul, Suess, Martin, Yalcin, Senay, Keymeulen, Didier, Higuchi, Tetsuya, et al. (Eds.) 1st NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems, 15-18 June 2006, Istanbul, Turkey.
|PDF (372kB)
Traditional approaches to evolvable hardware (EHW), in which the field programmable gate array (FPGA) configuration is directly encoded, have not scaled well with increasing circuit and FPGA complexity. To overcome this there have been moves towards encoding a growth process, known as morphogenesis, however existing approaches have tended to abstract away the underlying FPGA architecture.
Although currently commercially available FPGAs are not the most evolution-friendly platforms, having complex architectures and issues with potentially damaging configurations, evolving circuits on commercially available devices without requiring a move to high-level building blocks is a necessary prerequisite for the adoption of EHW to solving real problems in electronic design, repair and adaptation.
In this paper we present a morphogenetic EHW model where growth is directed by the gate-level state of the FPGA. We demonstrate that this approach consistently outperforms a traditional EHW approach using a direct encoding, in the number of generations required to find an optimal solution, and in its ability to scale to increases in circuit size and complexity.
Issues in EHW problem solvability are also identified, and preliminary work is presented showing that a morphogenetic approach to EHW may be well suited to correcting damaged circuits.

Did have one for bout a year then gave it to my daughter for her Glock. For an entry level belt it'll do the job with ease. My only complaint is the finish wears faster than a quality leather belt. Have both a Beltman and a HBE Specialty Leatherworks belts (1 black, 1 brown) and they both look great and are holding up nicely.
IMO you get what you pay for when it comes to a quality holster and belt. Don't skimp on either as they compliment each other when it comes to comfort and longevity, but if money's tight I'd highly recommend it. JMO, and hope it helps.

Join the NRA today, or don't complain when your guns are taken away!
I have a couple. They will hold your gun fine. They are stiff, etc. Read the reviews on the 5.11 website.
The finish is truly lousy. It cracks and shows the white leather within days. Bummer.
I still use mine for casual/jeans work clothes kinda stuff. You can somewhat repair the cruddy finish by just using some shoe polish to cover the cracks and it doesn't look too bad.
Bottom line is that they are super cheap, but do the job. I suggest you try the Beltman or Tucker. You will pay $$, but get something that will last you for many years.
I started with a 5.11 but it fell apart. I returned it (local dealer) for an exchange and that one lasted about 3 months before the edges started to show white underneath. Now I own an HBE gun belt ... world of difference and more comfort.
The 5.11 belt is a cheap alternative to a custom gun belt. If you can afford it, I recommend either HBE, UBG or Beltman. They all use the same materials and will last you much longer.

I have a 511 Belt and a Galco belt. The 511 is a decent belt for the money. The Galco is nicer but cost twice as much.
heard a bunch of bad reviews so got the Aker Dress Belt (BT-21) from Galls.com instead. Similar price range, nice leather with polymer backing. Haven't seen any complaints but have read some nice reviews from those owning for a few years.
Just got one myself, my first "real" gunbelt. Like it alot so far and I'm carrying a full size all steel pistol (CZ 75)

I have a brown one and the kydex clips on my Crossbreed Supertuck took the brown finish off the first time I wore it.
I got 2 free when I ordered my tact. paints. OK for free but would not but one. Way too stiff and crappy fimish..My beltman should be in about 2 weeks . cant wait to compair them..
I bow to one king, and serve only one kingdom
I bought a black one like this a couple of months ago.
Made for everyday, casual, undercover or plainclothes wear. Durable full-grain leather belt has a Permastiff insert to provide stability for firearm. Hidden cuff key pocket on the inside, 5.11-branded buckle.
I have not had the finish problem that others have reported and it is certainly stiff enough to comfortably hold my Glock 27 in a Don Hume H721 OT belt holster and my XD .45 Compact in a Hume H720 OT paddle holster.
I eventually want to get a better brand, but this one fit the budget for now. I bought mine at a local uniform shop here in Memphis for $32.
No problems with mine either. LAPoliceGear still has the special deal going for a free belt with the purchase of tac pants, check it out.

got a black and a brown
I've worn the black one for almost 2 years, ccw, off-duty, church
It has some finish rubbing off where my cell phone clips on, but not bad. I can definitely see where the finish wears off, etc, just depends on what your clips are and how hard they rub the belt. Good cheap belt but sure does support my Glock 30 well.

tire wear
OK on my 1983 Buick park avenue my car tires have been having excessive wear and goes from negative to positive chamber. OK one guy said it was control arm bushings. so he replaced those now i have to get a alignment but once i brought the car home and jacked it up i noticed if i shook the tires from left to right i could see the idler arm go up and down is this normal and what would cause this?
posted youtube video
Idler arm is worn out. Easy fix. Replace it.
How could you get a proper alignment with a worn out idler arm? Anytime I've done an alignment I've checked all front end parts for wear, ball joints, tie rods, bushings, bearings, spindle and the straightness of the frame all play into getting a proper alignment. I would take it back to the guy that did the alignment and ask questions, my first question would be how he could do an alignment with worn parts.
what 69 said, also bearings are checked to make sure they are not loose,tires must be in good shape with matching sizes,air pressures must be set.Your caster and camber changes when the tires are turned but remain constant when driving on the highway. If you had worn parts,you didnt get a 3 axis wheel alighnment
I haven't had a alignment yet...I was told by last mechanic that control arm bushings was all the problem was..when I shook the tire and didn't seem right I just wanted to make sure there was more to the problem
take the tie rod ends and check them for movement,or squeeze them with your hand if you have a good grip.Jack tires about 2 inches off the ground and put a pry bar under each one and lift,see if ball joints have movement. Check your pitman arm similar to idler arm. and centre link.Fix all the problems

From the moment we went in to meet with Ruth and tasted her cakes and saw her samples, we knew that she was the one for us. I was able to sketch out EXACTLY the cake I wanted- and she made it better than I could have hoped. everything was beautiful, and I got so many comments on how great the cakes tasted!!!"

First, I would like to start with our engagement session that was included with our package and let everyone know how much fun it was! We didn't know what to expect, but you were so nice, and Aaron really directs you and lets you know what to do and tells you, oh, good, and is just so positive, which really puts you at ease, and above that, gets you so excited for your wedding day with him! After we got our absolutely amazing photos back, we ordered some and when we showed them to friends and family, everyone was blown away, saying how lucky we were to have such a good photographer (and, yes, we passed on your name, of course!). The wedding day was gorgeous, and Arron was there the whole time and we were just so comfortable with him because of our engagement session, and you would hear his camera clicking the whole time and we were able to grab him throughout the night and ask him, hey, can you take a picture of this or that, and he would with no problem!"

ASK MR. KNOW IT ALL: Know It All hunting for still hunting
Question: Have you ever heard of the term "still hunt"? What is it? — T.W., White Castle, La.
Answer: According to my American Heritage dictionary, still-hunting is the hunting of game by stalking or ambushing.
There is also a statue named "Still Hunt" in Central Park in New York City. The bronze sculpture, by Edward Kemeys, depicts a panther getting ready to strike.
Question: When was the Pledge of Allegiance written? By whom? — Y.C., Cottonwood, Calif.
Answer: Thirty-seven-year-old Baptist minister Francis Bellamy wrote the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892. It was first published in The Youth's Companion, the Reader's Digest of its day. The poem was part of a patriotic program for schools around the county to coincide with the opening ceremonies for the Columbian Exposition in October 1892.
Question: Was England's many-time-married King Henry VIII buried with one of his wives? — O.W., Salisbury, Md.
Answer: King Henry VIII (1491-1547) was buried with wife No. 3, Jane Seymour, in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Jane (c. 1509-1537) died of natural causes a year after her marriage to the king. She was the only wife of Henry to get a proper queen's burial.
Question: In the 1970s, there was a major league baseball player nicknamed "The Bird." Who was he, and why the nickname? — R.P., Green Creek, Ind.
Answer: Some said that 6-foot-3-inch pitcher Mark Fidrych had a strong resemblance to "Sesame Street" Muppet Big Bird. In 1976, while with the Detroit Tigers, Fidrych won the American League Rookie of the Year award. A knee injury the following year followed by arm problems severely limited his ability. He was released by the Tigers after the 1980 season after a five-year career. His record was 29 wins and 19 losses.
Fidrych was born Aug. 14, 1954, and died April 13, 2009, at age 54.
Question: Hey, Mr. Know-It-All! I have another riddle for you: How many of each animal did Moses take on the Ark? — A.B., Redding, Calif.
Answer: None. Moses had the Ark of the Covenant; Noah had the ark with the animals.
Question: In a grocery store museum, I recall seeing a package of Kool-Ade. Is this the same thing as the Kool-Aid that is currently available? — M.B., Bay Minette, Ala.
Answer: In 1914, 25-year-old Edwin Perkins started a small mail-order business called Perkins Products Company. The company sold small bottles of perfume and calling cards through magazine advertisements. By 1920, he and his wife, Kitty, were offering more than 125 products, including extracts, spices, medicines and toiletries. One of the best sellers was a 4-ounce bottle of soft drink syrup called Fruit Smack. By the mid-1920s, Perkins had the idea of turning the syrup into a powder concentrate. He named the new product Kool-Ade, but later changed it to Kool-Aid.
In mid-1953, Perkins Products was taken over by General Foods.
DID YOU KNOW? The lead role of President of the United States in the movie "Air Force One" (1997) was written with Kevin Costner in mind, but he had to turn down the role because of other commitments; the role went to Harrison Ford.
Question: The name Ryman Auditorium keeps coming to mind, but I can't recall why. Do you know what it is? — H.G., DeQuincy, La.
Answer: Starting in 1943, the Ryman Auditorium was the site of the Grand Ole Opry. The Opry remained there until the new Opry House was built in Opryland in 1975. Ryman Auditorium is in Nashville, Tenn., and is now a museum and small concert venue.
Question: What and when was Marilyn Monroe's last film? Any idea what her last line was? — C.V., Albany, N.Y.
Answer: Monroe's last film was "The Misfits" in 1961. Her last line was spoken to Clark Gable, "How do you find your way back in the dark?" Clark Gable's response, "Just head for that big star straight on. The highway's under it, and it'll take us right home." She died the following year at age 36. Gable suffered a heart attack a few days after filming was complete and died at age 59.

Amerian Rienhardt was an itennerant teacher & story teller.
He was a couin to his wife and they were both double grandchildren to the sister of Daniel Boone, of TN. Granddad seldom talked about him. He said that the man's only redeeming trate was that he was the father of our ggrandmother Kuehl.
The reason that Grandmother was born in Menlow, Kansas was that Amerian Reinard was a profesor & Lecturer in the college in that town. He was forced to leave that job & soon took his family & left town for the wild west of Idaho.
