Cabin fever? Get ready to stay put a little longer, as the area's deep freeze turns to thaw.
A slight warming trend should begin today, forecasters say, but melting could take awhile, as the Hall County area has been hit this week with wave after wave of snow and sleet.
The storm has produced a flurry of government, school and business closings. They will continue to keep doors closed today.
Even the Northeast Georgia Health System wasn't completely open. All of its Northeast Georgia Physicians Group clinics, except its Urgent Care centers, were closed.
Residents woke up Wednesday to snow blanketing the region, making travel difficult, if not impossible.
The snow tapered off by midday but was expected to be followed by another blast of up to 6 inches.
Still, "we have been lucky with this event due to all snow and no real ice accumulation," said Capt. Scott Cagle, Hall County Fire Services spokesman, following a Hall County Emergency Management Agency meeting.
But that doesn't mean residents should take lightly the wintry blast, which has produced power outages across a wide swath of Georgia.
"Our crews are working diligently in every county, focusing on interstates and four-lane state routes," said Department of Transportation District Engineer Bayne Smith. "This allows us to keep major roads open that benefit the most emergency traffic."
Early Wednesday, there was heavy snow accumulation on roadways in Hall, Banks, Forsyth, Habersham, Lumpkin, Towns, Union and White counties, among others throughout the state.
"We just can't work every route when conditions are this perilous," Smith said. "Our priorities have to be primary routes, the interstates and four- or five-lane state routes. Please do not multiply the hazards by driving unless it is an emergency situation."
Snow blanketed roads minutes after plowing, DOT officials said.
And even that work got dangerous. A DOT dump truck plowing snow slid off Ga. 60/Thompson Bridge Road at Ga. 136/Price Road in North Hall and another one off Ga. 115 in White County. Neither driver was injured.
"GDOT drivers are trained to drive in winter weather," according to a DOT Facebook post. "Our trucks are specifically equipped for winter weather and they are having trouble."
Emergency calls were few early, but Hall County Fire Services personnel worried they would increase if people try to get out and explore.
Authorities had a "low call volume so far due to citizens staying off the roads," Cagle said.
In closing county offices today, Hall County Administrator Randy Knighton said officials "continue to urge residents to stay off the roadways if at all possible for their own safety and to allow our crews the opportunity to monitor area roadways and respond accordingly during these extreme weather conditions."
In Flowery Branch, city administrative offices will be closed again today.
"Looks like we are still due some more snow," said Bill Andrew, city manager. "So our closing (of) offices (today) still stands."
Andrew said the city's public works department was making progress midmorning on scraping, and that the roads were coming along reasonably well, he said.
"We are holding our own with rock and calcium chloride," he said.
There were no major issues with police patrol, according to Flowery Branch Police Chief David Spillers.
Although progress on street clearing has been productive, "please remind all that we are still under a state of emergency, and citizens should refrain from all nonessential driving," Andrew said.
Flat Creek Baptist Church Pastor Mike Taylor said church members have been asked to check on the elderly, but he'd received no reports of issues so far.
Taylor, who serves as a chaplain for Hall County Fire Services, said he kept in contact with Cagle overnight Tuesday.
"They were in the command center, watching the weather develop," he said. "Long hours for those in fire and law enforcement."
Just before noon, Jackson EMC reported only 10 customers among its approximate 40,000 as affected by a power outage, and by midafternoon Wednesday, that utility's outage map showed all customers online. The electric cooperative's staff was available around the clock to ensure power lines remained intact and operational.
The weather forced Don Carter State Park to go from being a recreation area to a "staging area" for first-responders from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Georgia Forestry Commission, said Matt Owens, the park's assistant manager.
"We do have guests on-site and are in close communication with them," he said. "We are watching for anyone in need and are prepared to assist."
Because roadways were less crowded, Georgia State Patrol worked just a few accidents, said Trooper Jonathan Munger, spokesman for Gainesville-based Post 6.
"We have not had any serious injuries or fatalities on the roadways," he said. "I think everyone is adhering to the state of emergency."
As far as patrol shifts, "we have troopers out ... around the clock and will until this clears up."
Times regional reporter Lisa Laskey contributed to this report.

I am happy to report that good has triumphed over evil. The Eye of Sauron has been blinded. Voldemort is dead. The death star has imploded, yet again.
In short, you are now free to walk the streets of London without wondering whether the rubbish bins are following you.
Last week, a small hubbub ensued after Quartz reported that electronic recycling bins in the heart of a posh London retail district were recording data from the mobile phones of passers by. The company that created them, Renew, had installed 100 electronic bins around London in time for last year's Olympics.
Source: Renew London
The bins have screens that display ads and public safety information (but mostly ads). About a dozen of them also collect the MAC addresses from passersby whose smartphones have WiFi turned on. At least, they did until yesterday, when the City of London announced plans to nix the bins – or at least, shut off the snoopy ones.
According to Quartz, the bins were designed to help advertisers hone their marketing efforts.
Say a coffee chain wanted to win customers from a rival. If it had the same tracking devices in its stores, it could tell whether you're already loyal to the brand and tailor its ads on the recycling bins accordingly. …Over time, the bins could also tell whether you've altered your habits….
Kaveh Memari, CEO of Renew, doesn't think what his company is doing violates anyone's privacy.
"From our point of view, it's open to everybody, everyone can buy that data," Memari told Quartz. "London is the most heavily surveillanced city in the world…As long as we don't add a name and home address, it's legal."
In other words, since you're already being egregiously spied upon via CCTV, you won't mind a private corporation collecting data about your movements without telling you, let alone obtaining your permission. According to the report in Quartz, on a single day in July the bins registered more than 100,000 unique devices, collecting nearly a million data points about them.
Yet Memari was fairly pissy about being forced to bin his nosey recycling bins. In a letter posted to the Renew London Web site, he wrote:
I'm afraid that in the interest of a good headline and story there has been an emphasis on style over substance that makes our technology trial slightly more interesting than it is.
During our current trials, a limited number of pods have been testing and collecting annonymised [sic] and aggregated MAC addresses from the street and sending one report every three minutes concerning total footfall data from the sites. A lot of what has been extrapolated is capabilities that could be developed and none of which are workable right now. For now, we continue to count devices and are able to distinguish uniques versus repeats. It is very much like a website, you can tell how many hits you have had and how many repeat visitors, but we cannot tell who, or anything personal about any of the visitors on the website.
So it's just like Web tracking. That's surely not likely to upset anyone, is it? The company that developed the technology, Presence Orb, calls it "a cookie for the real world." Apparently they too are oblivious to the furor tracking cookies have created on both sides of the pond.

Tokyo stocks rose 0.76 percent by the end of Thursday's morning session, boosted by optimism over the US economy and a weakening yen as speculation of more Bank of Japan easing grows.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index added 72.37 points to 9,541.21, while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares gained 0.80 percent, or 6.24 points, to 788.10.
US stocks closed mostly higher overnight on hopes for progress in fiscal cliff negotiations and upbeat economic data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished Wednesday up 0.64 percent at 13,034.49 after the Institute for Supply Management's November index on service sector activity rose, lending markets some support after the ISM's manufacturing index released earlier this week showed a monthly contraction.
"The overseas signals are positive while domestically, indications about the December 16 lower house election, which are showing a likely strong opposition Liberal Democratic Party victory (LDP), should send the market higher," said SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities Hiroichi Nishi.
Shinzo Abe, head of the main opposition LDP and widely tipped to become Japan's next prime minister, has vowed to pressure the Bank of Japan to launch more aggressive easing measures to boost the world's third-largest economy.
In currency trading, the dollar edged higher against the yen, changing hands at 82.52 yen from 82.42 in New York on Wednesday afternoon.
The euro bought $1.3059 and 107.79 yen, compared with $1.3064 and 107.71 yen in US trade.
Struggling Japanese electronics giant Sharp closed the morning session up 4.97 percent at 190 yen, in the wake of news it struck a capital injection deal with US-based chipmaker Qualcomm.
The cash-strapped Japanese firm's shares also benefited from Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision saying a stalled deal to invest in Sharp was still on the table.

There are several varieties of cyclamen, but the most common is persicum, and many catalogues name no other.

Email Address
Two politicians, a Republican, Mike Decker, and a Democrat, Jim Black, sat down at an IHOP in Salisbury. Black was there to convince Decker to switch parties and give him a key vote he needed to hold onto the House Speakership – and Decker was listening. And, in all likelihood both men probably suspected, one way or another, before the deal was made there was going to be an agreement for some money to change hands.
Now, as Gary says in his blog, Jim Black is too smart to say to Mike Decker, 'Okay, Mike, name your price, we'll dicker a bit and I'll send you a bag full of cash for your vote.' Black knows that's illegal. So, here's how I imagine that conversation may have gone:
Black: Mike, I need your vote for Speaker. And I know if you vote for me you'll be in hot water with the Republicans. I know you'll face a tough reelection campaign. And I know that costs money. Now, we both know I can't pay you anything for your vote. That would be illegal. But I do – and this has nothing to do with your vote – want to help you get reelected.
Then, I imagine, after a little hemming and hawing someone got around to putting a dollar amount on the table. Since Decker pled guilty to taking a fifty thousand dollar bribe, let's say it was fifty thousand dollars.
In January of 2003 Decker switched parties and voted for Black and, according to the US Attorney, an unnamed Democrat – the newspapers speculate it was Black – delivered thirty-eight thousand dollars in checks and twelve thousand dollars in cash to Decker. (Decker's son also got a $46,000 state job in the legislature, thanks to Black).
So, did Jim Black bribe Mike Decker or not? In Black's view he absolutely did not. He says adamantly there was no quid pro quo – he didn't give Decker $50,000 to vote for him. He gave him $50,000 to help him get re-elected. It wasn't a bribe it was a campaign contribution. And that's Gary's point. No matter how much Black wanted to get reelected Speaker he was too smart to break the law by trying to bribe Decker.
But there's one big problem. Alongside the $38,000 in checks in the envelope a Democrat gave Decker there was $12,000 in cash – and you can't just blithely wave a magic wand and say that cash doesn't matter – or that it was a campaign contribution.

Hey Everyone!
Well another school year has came to an end here at UC! While it's sad to see everyone going home, it will be a nice to be done with school until the end of September and concentrate only on soccer! We ended the school year with an All-Sports banquet on Saturday morning at Fifth-Third Arena. The UC CATSVision staff did a great job putting together not only a highlight tape but a bloopers tape as well!! We had quite a few laughs and it was really nice for all the sports to get recognized for both their academic and athletic achievements from the past year.
With everyone on different schedules for finals and leaving to go home for the summer, we did our best to get some workouts in this past week with our strength and conditioning coach Kelly Howe. KJ, Ashley, Kaylee and I had quite a suprise in the weight room on Tuesday as a bunch of the Cincinnati Bengals players were training there as well! The Bengals have been using UC's top notch facilities during the NFL lockout for some of their training sessions. It was really cool to train alongside professional athletes and to see Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Dave Andrews kicking their butts!!
With school fresh out of our minds, tomorrow morning some of us are running the beep test along with our academic advisor Keri Thoman! It will be really fun to compete against not only our teammates but Keri as well! Keri is our reining Women's Soccer Touch Football MVP from our fall game and she is quite the competitor so I know she will be working hard to beat us! It will also be a great to run the beep test before preseason as it will be the first time many of us have ran it.
Off to bed to be up for practice and the beep test in the morning! Hopefully it goes well!! Make sure to watch the All-Sports highlight video and the Bloopers video on GoBearcats.com and if your in the Dayton area Saturday night come out and support the Dayton Dutch Lions and some of your UC women's soccer players as we take on Virginia Beach Piranhas at Bellbrook High School 7pm!
Go Bearcats--RAWRRRRRR!!

Did you somehow miss this one? – Use-your-Drive | Google Drive plugin for WordPress – http://codecanyon.net/item/useyourdrive-google-drive-plugin-for-wordpress/6219776
There's always someone willing to work for what amounts to peanuts. What follows is that the client then says – "I paid $200 for this?! What a POS!". Too often but not always, you get what you pay for.
Having used both Joomla and Drupal as well, I don't blame ThemeForest's audience or think this behavior is necessarily limited to TF. It may just be because these other CMS platforms have simply failed to market themselves / cultivate a ecosystem (with a future) as well as WP has to the masses as an easy to use CMS. Drupal is my favorite between these two. However, I use WP because clients love it and that's where the money is right now.

Can I contact you directly?
Yes, you may. Please feel free to contact me using the "Email" section of my profile page which can be found here (while already logged in ThemeForest) – http://themeforest.net/user/WPWiseOwl
After you've purchased the theme on your own account, you can also contact Ed from his profile page / email section here – http://themeforest.net/user/SwiftIdeas
I'm fairly familiar with the code / framework used by Neighborhood / Dante. In fact, if you look at the change log for a recent update to the Dante theme, you'll see I'm credited there – http://dante.swiftideas.net/changelog/#v21

Im even more stuck now as I was before lol
Sorry, about that. Hopefully the following helps…
+1 to the underscores site that contempoinc suggested.
Redux is an theme options framework alone that gets included into a theme rather than a theme framework itself. Also check these out (for examples of how to implement / use bootstrap 3, redux, woocommerce, etc in a theme)...
As much as I really like WooCommerce, it can be a (very) heavy / overcomplicated solution for a simple digital downloads store. There's less code being added to your site with EDD, so there's less of a chance for issues to sneak up on you. You might also see a performance benefit too. If the payment processor you'll use is also already supported right out of the box, EDD probably is the way to go. For "enhanced" EDD theme support (unless you're building it by yourself), you may be limited here.
However, WooCommerce has a more diversified extension library and usually is supported out of the box by many Themes. So, if there's an essential feature you need that's not offered by an EDD add-on but is already available in WooCommerce (the core plugin or an extension) then you might be better served by WooCommerce. WooCommerce is more geared towards virtual / physical items but works pretty well for downloads too.
Perhaps you making it too hard on yourself. The passwords you want are probably too easily guessable by individuals, hackers, bots or all of them. Allow me to introduce you to a (free) service that has meant to an to remembering passwords for many (myself and clients included).
Works with all major browsers and is available on all major platforms including mobile ones . No need to remember passwords regardless of their complexity. The service below is not the only such (free) service but is definitely one of the best imo.https://lastpass.com/

I am am a designer, i work now on 2 templates and i search for a developer to slice the template for me and make 50% each of the revenue.
Good luck with that. I've seen many inquiries like yours and is 50% often too much to expect if you're simply offering the design. If you don't expect to do any coding or customer support then expect to get only 20-30% of the revenue after Envato takes their cut.
Obviously, I have had more experience with WP than any other CMS platform. You're probably also already aware that WordPress themes are the highest in demand on ThemeForest since these days it's a much larger target market than say Joomla or Drupal.
Don't pick a framework for just for it's features. The more features, the more bloat. The more bloat, the more complicated it is and the more conflicting causing potential it has. While not always the case, such bloat can cause (sometimes serious) performance issues. Picking a framework for it's features is somewhat like selecting a house for it's appliances.
Instead first ask yourself, what kind of grid system you want. How many columns / how wide. For example, I never use anything less than 12 columns / 1170px or anything larger than 16 columns 2560×1600. Seek these details out and you'll find that there's many grids that are limited to just the small 960 grid which is getting older by the day. You don't want to a something that has an old grid system because it's got little if any future flexibility.
Hints: The Warp 7 WP framework accesses the webhost file system using direct PHP calls instead of using the recommended WP ones. This seems pretty lazy to me but not everyone feels the same. It also causes security issues on various hosts that your buyer might be using thereby making it your problem when it fails to work. The Gantry framework typically makes use of the MooTools (jQuery alternative) that I've seen cause multiple conflicts with 3rd party plugins. This is a carry over from their Joomla development and doesn't always work well with WP's built-in core jQuery.
I am still ignorant of so much but just know your theme's foundation (if you didn't build it yourself). There are too many frameworks available (even just for WP to go through each one here). So, try your best not to be ignorant of any unknown (known are fine if you can live with them) dragons / gremlins possibly lurking in your chosen framework with and you'll be very thankfully you took the time to have a look around.
No, you can't just take someone's works change it a lot and call it yours. Using either frameworks would earn you a rejection here. For example, just so you're aware even with the so called "Developer" license of Headway you aren't given the "right" to redistribute the framework itself for resale purposes unless you do it on their own marketplace.
Another thing, any framework that actually grants resale distribution as a right but also expects you to distribute your work as a "Child Themes" is in IMO a bad idea since the end user now has little recourse but to modify the child theme, potentially loses their changes with each update. The proper thing to do would be to either build the theme from scratch using a custom made framework or any framework / foundation that lets you create a proper parent theme so that the end user can use a child theme for custom styling / modification purposes.
If you're looking for shortcuts to the path of wealth here on ThemeForest, there's not many legal / ethical ones (if any). You say you're a designer. So, make a totally custom PSD design and submit it to TF. After it's been approved, then code the PSD into HTML. Once that's approved, code into a WP theme and get that approved. You'll learn a lot along the way and you'll know that you got started the right way. You don't have to submit a PSD / HTML theme first but to submitting a WP theme as your first item could turn out to be quite the daunting / discouraging task without having more experience.
Even if approved, after you've sold your item then you should know how to support it. Do you want to know your item well enough to help your buyers with them problem. They usually can't / won't wait weeks for you to figure it out (possibly because you don't understand all the code in your theme). Short-terms authoring isn't very profitable around. You need a long-term plan.

Please do not think that you have not been in my thoughts, as just logging in to write to you this evening, I have found myself confronted by three or four unfinished compositions that I have started with the good intentions of communicating with you of late, only for my efforts to have been thwarted by the unwelcome companion of unbearable pain and/or related depression.
One of these said posts focuses a little more upon both of these issues and explains in more detail why I have not been around- but with the time now fast approaching 11pm, a doctor's appointment looming at 9.10am tomorrow morning, and pain intensifying in my legs and feet to the point that I'm about to reach for the morphine- I am acutely aware that my window of effective concentration that is so very limited, is closing in upon me: so rather than attempt to edit these 'previous works' and try to decipher quite what my frame of mind was at the time of writing- I thought that I would drop you a new, albeit it brief hello before I rest my weary head upon my much longed for pillow!
I'm sure that those of you who have worked anything upwards of eight hours today, will be frustratingly frowning at your computer screen right now, asking just how one can be quite so 'weary' when one as not been to work?
I understand this view point and may well have expressed it myself before I was enlightened by experiencing what it is to live a life with a disability and more specifically chronic pain: however from this position that I now find myself in, I can inform you that every day waking up in pain and trying to undertake the most simple of daily tasks, is on a par with the toughest day of work I can possibly relate to! And I used to work 12 hour flights serving alcohol to wannabe 'Rat Packers' en route to Vegas; sweeties to sugar hyped kids en route to life out their fantasy of being 'Belle' in Disneyland Orlando and coffee to work tired business men racking up their air miles across The Atlantic- all whilst trying to pretend that my feet weren't killing me from walking miles up and down the aisle of the A360 Airbus aircraft; my eyes weren't stinging from the severe lack of sleep, and my cheeks weren't aching from maintaining my perfect red lippy painted smile!
This is by no means an expression that 'trolley dollying' is the most difficult job in the world- after all I am married to an RAF pilot who I am profusely proud of- it is just to prove that I do know a little of what physical hard work feels like. Please don't turn this into an "I have the toughest job in the world competition"!
I do, despite receiving much banter regarding my employment as a dippy dancer and tottering trolley dolly- know hard work!
I used to work 18 hour days as a dancer and choreographer, as well as once racking up a record 25 hour working day when a flight was held up in South Africa as a Virgin trolley dolly- all of this was hard work but their was huge rewards! (Not least the cocktails on the beach that would be waiting for me in Cape Town, Barbados or Sydney- it was a hard life!).
Of course there was immense satisfaction at receiving pennies in my pocket at the end of the month to pay for my rent, maintaining my car and paying for treats- that all gave me independence which is invaluable and something I miss massively! But there was also an immense amount of job satisfaction in it's own right and I felt a great amount of pride to put on the uniform of a company that I respected and revered.
The absence of these feelings in my life since my accident has been a hard adjustment to make and accept, not least the void of having my own money to feel proud of earning and to enable me to buy essentials and treats.
Each hour of being awake nowadays, (be them day or night- and there are many that I indeed spend awake at night through immense unrelenting pain!), are incredibly tough with little or nothing to show for them at the end of the day!
Almost everyday feels like a battle, both physically and emotionally and all I have to show for it on all too many days is a list of all my intended tasks, with all but one thing ticked off- and that was simply to eat breakfast!
I've always been a perfectionist and 'wannabe high achiever' ever since school. I have always taken on too much, but before this stage in my life I would just stay up all night to accomplish whatever overambitious task/tasks I had set myself. I was a 'doer', I was an achiever, I would life life to the full and some!
I get very frustrated that these qualities are now unobtainable, in that doing things to the best of my physical ability at the time of trying, invariably results in me experiencing increased pain that leaves me bed bound for days, weeks and even months. Things are out of my control and that makes me want to cry at times.
My psychologist calls this the boom and bust pattern and if you are of the nature and have the tendencies that I so obviously am and have- it is an extremely difficult pattern to break!!
Things in my life are now obviously very different and that 'wannabe high achiever' is frustrated and annoyed!
For the past year or so I have been seeing these said psychologists to tackle the many issues that occur as a result of finding yourself facing a changed life as a result of an illness or injury.
The above issue is one I have been focusing upon a lot with the help of my psychologist.
With the help of antidepressants I feel that I am finally making headway in pulling myself out of the dark hole of despair that I found myself in at the beginning of the year, after a major setback in my condition left my whole family emotionally reeling from witnessing my condition take me back to a place pre-spinal surgery that we never believed we would be in again.
The realisation of quite how much I had improved since that point in January/February came only this morning when I attended the Pain Clinic at the hospital to meet with my psychologist.
This morning we sat together looking back upon the diary of my sleep time, wake time and time that I am physically able to get out of bed and we were able to see in black and white that this pattern had improved immensely.
There are obviously many contributing factors to this improvement, one of which being that the relapse in my physical condition had levelled out and was now reasonably back under control thanks to new medication- and another, that I had taken big steps to look at myself as an emotional and spiritual being and try and improve my emotional health of my own accord and exploration.
Someone recently reminded me that our bodies are simplistically only there to collect food, prepare food, physically place the food in ones mouth, digest the food- all to feed our brains at the end of the day, the most important and undervalued organ in our entire bodies.
I believe that taking these steps to spend more time and attention looking after my emotional well being has had a huge effect on me of late.
As much as I believe in PMA, ( positive mental attitude) and mind over matter, my nervous system is physically damaged at the end of the day, so as much as I long it to just go and give me back my life- my pain is never going to disappear, and in fact with the degenerative condition that I have, it is actually likely to get worse over the years: what I can do however is to prepare myself and arm myself for this eventuality by strengthening my mind and soul to be as strong as I can possibly be to cope with this situation and therefore maintain as full a life as is possible considering my physical state.
I recently received an email from a reader asking me how I stay so strong- my first response was to say that I most certainly wasn't. In the past I have hit emotional depths that I never even believed were possible and one of these times was actually very recently- but thankfully at the moment I am actually starting to feel emotional strength grow within me and that is such a fantastic feeling!
So I implore you all that however low you may be feeling now, if you find yourself reaching rock bottom - remember that the only way is up and with time and the right help that is possible. Please excuse the cliche, however cheesy and overused, for me it rings so very true!
Aware that every individual is indeed that- an individual, I was fearful to answer this girl's request. She was almost my age and had also lost her active and fast paced life and was now facing one filled with pain, despair and uncertainty- I so desperately wanted to help her in any way that I could, but I recognised that I am not a professional. I do however have something that many professionals don't have- related experience.
I have to personally believe that good should try to be gained from every negative possible- so maybe that is why God has put me in this position in my life- to help or guide others who are where I was not so very long ago?
Whether or not you share my beliefs, maybe you would share with me that positives should try to be gained from negatives, or even that if you can try to help someone in need- surely that is better than passing them by and not trying at all?
I don't know the answer to this poor girl's question, but in my next post I will share with you the things that have helped to strengthen me.
They may help, they may not; or you may find that they may give you inspiration to try something similar.
I don't know. I by no means believe that I am out of the woods when it comes to leaving behind the depression that has ensued since becoming disabled- as I have fallen into this false sense of security before.
I don't believe that many of these feelings will ever disappear completely, but I do feel that we can perhaps learn to live with them.
On that note, I am off to bed as that is one of the biggest things I've learned of late through my psychologist at the Pain Clinic- whatever I think is important, what is probably more important in terms of my rehabilitation and clawing back some semblance of a 'normal' life- is to get to bed at a reasonable time. Is 12.34am classed as reasonable?
It is a mistake I have made so much in the past, most significantly in writing this blog! I have enjoyed having a purpose again, having something to focus upon and the cathartic nature of that 'something'.
What I didn't realises was that with my perfectionist nature, I would find myself on so many occasions adjusting grammar and phrasing until 4am to the detriment of my rehabilitation!
In the attempt to not get complacent after my praise from the Pain Clinic today, I am going to cut things short now- well only I could say that after a few thousand word dissertation style blog!
Good night everyone. I hope that tomorrow is a positive and pain free day for you all.
Why not try starting your day by setting your alarm ten minutes early and taking those minutes to focus on the positive things in your life however small and insignificant you may believe them to be. It's one of the small steps that's helping me- it may not work for you, but what do you lose by trying?
Sleep well folks.

Hey guys,
I'm lookin for someone from Netherland Antilles as the title states to register an .an domain for me. I've tried doing it myself but I am not a citizen of NA and in the end, it won't let me do it. So, if anyone could help me with that it would be much appreciated! Please drop me an e-mail via my profile form and I shall help you too to earn a few extra bucks for Christmas!
I hope this is posted in the right section!
1. .an is NO longer available. It is being phased out, because the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved.
The .an domains are already being removed from the databases and systems from 31 October 2013 and after one year from that date, .an will be completely removed from the DNS root server.
2. Now even if it would be available, do you really think any random person should register a domain for you? Do you know legal aspects? Who will be responsible on what you do on the domain?
3. Do you think it would be secure for you? As the registerar would have actual control on the domain.

Sinkholes: The Sinking Problem
Published August 13th, 2013
Loading Video...
North Central Florida's soil is the perfect storm for sinkholes.
But that same soil could cause another problem.
Shrink-swell clays are everywhere in the ground in our area.
When we get long periods of rain like we have this year, the clays expand and contract, causing damage to the structures on the surface.
"That activity can cause crack that people may panic and think they've got a sinkhole but really what they've got is something that's much less serious in terms of damage."
Now if you think you may have sinkhole activity at your home, make sure you call your insurance company to see if you're covered.
And if you are, call an expert for a consultation.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Between March 18 and April 8, Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] invited fans to participate in "Innovation Madness," a tournament-style competition to vote for the ultimate Lockheed Martin innovation on the company's Facebook page. Approximately 32 innovations from Lockheed Martin's storied 100-year history were featured in the tournament, which was part of the corporation's year-long centennial commemoration. The venerable Hubble Space Telescope (HST) came out on top. "In a corporation renowned for innovation, the competition was fierce," said Jim Crocker, vice president of Civil Space at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. "The SR-71 Blackbird, Mars Phoenix Lander, the F-35, the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), the P-38 Lightning and the Littoral Combat ship were all worthy opponents, but Hubble pulled it out at the end. The pride we all feel for what this company has done in 100 years carries us forward in all we do, and this little tournament was a great way to share that heritage." "Hubble is iconic. The history of the Universe is written in starlight, and the Hubble Space Telescope has recorded much of that history," continued Crocker. "It is the world's premier orbiting astronomical observatory. It views the Universe from the near-ultraviolet through the visible light spectrum and into the infrared, and it's the first orbiting observatory to be designed for extensive on-orbit servicing." Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Sunnyvale, Calif. was selected by NASA in 1977 to design and build the spacecraft and provide spacecraft systems integration. Since the 1990 launch, Lockheed Martin personnel in Sunnyvale, and at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Md., have helped NASA manage the day-to-day spacecraft operations of the telescope, and provided extensive preparation and training for the telescope servicing missions. The success of the first HST servicing mission in December 1993 proved that complex, on-orbit spacecraft servicing could be effectively performed. On four subsequent servicing missions - in February 1997, December 1999, March 2002, and May 2009 - spacewalking astronauts installed several new state-of-the-art scientific instruments, a new high-performance main computer, and new energy efficient solar arrays. They replaced gyroscopes, batteries, and data recorders, and repaired surface insulation on the telescope. Hubble was built to be serviced, and the five shuttle missions not only extended its life, but made it a much more powerful and capable telescope on each visit. Since its launch in April 1990, Hubble has provided scientific data and images of unprecedented resolution that have generated many new and exciting discoveries. Even when reduced to raw numbers, the accomplishments of the 12.5-ton orbiting observatory are impressive:

Attechherbal wrote:I'm not in the best of mind frames. I'm the vet and my 6th year of waiting to get another graft on my brown recluse spider bitten leg is on the 27th of May.
But I'm no longer ready. My pain levels are constantly between 6 & 10, some days I actually hit withdrawal before one or more tablets with active ingredients IN them kick in. I also just lost my 89 year old mother to unbearable pain. It was horrifying.
The hospital and hospice tried to use the department of children seniors and Family to make me back down from trying to give my mom some peace from the level 10 pain that she died from, pretty much screaming silently at the end.
When I called the department to lodge complaints against hospice, hospital and specific ambulance? It's been a MONTH and neither officer has gotten back to me at all. Like paid thugs at a union rally, they can show up when corporate is the complaint any but not when it's the senior's family?
Had a seriously Stupid nurse say to me at one point, as my mother literally had ground down her lower teeth in less than a month...
."We just weaned your mother off all of those terrible pain meds, why would you want to put her back on?" BECAUSE SHE'S IN PAIN??!!!??
You wouldn't believe how obdurate medical professionals who should have been able to see the glaring example in front of them just blow off everything and every way she had to tell them. At one point they hurt her throat so badly that she could no longer speak but she still tried, as she had always trusted male doctors.
I was her advocate but they just did crap to her around the times when I couldn't be there. They did a very painful blood gas test where they have to dig around in your wrist to find the artery to put a needle in to draw blood gasses out. In ONE DAY they did it FIVE TIMES on doctors orders with nothing more than a flipping tramadol in her system.
The nursing home she was being discharged from in March, "somehow gave her a 10mg cumiden" 2 days before she was due to come home and she ingested her own blood into her lungs when it got too thin.
The nursing home sent her to the hospital so their record for keeping seniors healthy wouldn't be lowered!
On the way to the hospital, a trip mind you of TWO MILES
the ambulance crew gave mom a detox pill that put her into immediate withdrawal and respiratory distress.
For five years a combination of stenosis of the spine and sciatica; had her on 300mg of morphine 10 every 8 hours, and 20mg of oxy every 6 hours. up until March 7th 2014; she got that in the nursing home. From then on she said to me that she was marked for death. i should have believed her. for less than a month later, she WAS dead.
That nursing home never sent her last discharge papers home so we still have no idea what caused her to slide into a coma 3 hours after she was literally dumped onto her new bed by another ambulance corps who left with her meds because they were not where the nursing home said they were, AND she was sent home AGAIN with no pain killers.
Don't let yourself be put in an ambulance if they think you owe them money. They were the killing machines as far as I'm concerned for my mom.
Once she was in respiratory distress the doctors upstairs in the main horrible florida hospital said it was against their policy to continue her on pain killers even if she was in pain, that she needed oxygen more and that the pain could wait...??? Wait for what???
Mom had to travel by ambulance 2 times more and every single time the ambulance people managed to give her a detox shot that AGAIN put her into respiratory distress. After the first time the ER doctor put in her record that she wasn't to be given it, but each crew said that "a doc from the hospital had required it be done before she arrived at ER!!!"
Between fl hosital deland, the flipping hospice and the ambulance corps; they milked my mother for every last drop of Medicare and private insurance that she had and killed her, actually gave her a killing dose of pain killer at the hospice in front of me objecting, because I was insisting that she wanted to come home and that we were only at hospice to figure out what pain killers could be administered from home.
Hospice spent her last days starving her of food and water, until she could no longer swallow. We also think that they forcibly removed some of the teeth that she had been grinding in pain, again with no pain killers!"
Like a Hotel California. Beautiful but deadly.
My insistence to get her home? Ultimately killed her. Everyone wanted her Medicare and private pay money. It was no longer about the patient but about the money.
i'm due to go into the Tampa VA for a long awaited Graft. It's taken SIX YEARS to get the 2nd in a series of THREE that were all supposed to be done in 2008.
i can't bring myself to trust any doctor or hospital right now.
The new pcp has been nothing but nasty to me since I changed to her because she was a D. O.
Then I found out that she was only masquerading as one because to her it was an easier specialty to get through, rather than a good profession.
i am an herbalist with over 30 years of experience, i continuously study and I have 3600 customers who I help worldwide as well as heal myself as best as I can.
The pcp wont help me. When my mother died in April I sent a secure message to all of my caretakers at the VA.
The PCP called me very early one morning after and gruffly demanded to know when I was coming to see her. No mention of my mom, no seeing if I was okay, only that she was looking to draw me down from my pain meds even more, with the graft, a knee replacement, an ankle bone spur reduction with tendon repair still needing to be done.
She stated that I needed to see her or she would cut off my pain pills. All she's wanted to do since I changed to her practice last July was to reduce my meds because I couldn't be hurting as much as as I am!!!!
She was poisoned by the old pcp who wrote slanderous and libelous things about me in my record at the va. Attempts to have that record expunged have gone nowhere. I was able to change docs and picked this one because of her specialty. That was an error.
My pain level is immense, the times between taking what little they are giving me elongated and almost 60% of the active ingredients don't seem to be there at all. If one dose doesn't work, I have literally 8-12 hours before I can take the next dose. Thanks to the VA I now have an ulcer that bleeds whenever I take enough naproxen gels to make a difference in the pain meds that aren't holding me between a 5 to a 7.
My old dose was 45 mg morphine every 8 hours with 20mg oxycodone for breakthrough every 6 hours. That worked. Taking it every 12 hours was iffy but I tried it until abruptly they switched me to methadone which didn't work for me at all for two deleriously painful years.
The graft will peel skin off my right thigh to be sewn on my left calf, the last time they used staples knowing I was sensitive to them and 23 little infections around the staple holes made the graft ultimately a failure as the sadist doctor in charge said "well, there's always time for another graft!"
oh? and wait another 6 years of oozing painful blister conditions with little or no pain killers?
Don't tell me to go outside with my Medicare. Most of the docs in florida won't take you if you just have Medicare. I've been on a list for one for five years.
Useless the DEA's directive is now punishing veterans and seniors, I guess to keep them compliant or good little party line voters, because those two blocks of voters in pain will mean less voters to upset the gerrymandered republican stranglehold over those states in 2014 & 2016 at least.
i need the graft, but already the know it all surgeon is spouting crap about the kind of wound this is without reading the woundcare P.A.'s reports which make it an entirely different wound to graft.
He's already talking about blowing off the stitching and talking about using staples again. I just want to scream and scream and getting him to read wound care's notes is almost impossible, it's never ending.
I should be able to enjoy my 50's instead of being bedridden and miserable. You talk about putting your mind on other things. I was fighting for my mom's life, trying to get a fix on finances, trying to work on investments, had her celebration of life by inviting almost a hundred people, and had 30 show up.
Still food in my fridge to somehow use, because no one could be bothered to attend... What an awful slap, even after making it the best date and time for all of her working friends and advertising it on her retirement park's tv, and being assured that plenty of people would show.
will someone or more of you please make this thread available to Jon Stewart of Comedy Central so he can add it to his VA complaints?
We've got to be heard outside of our own forums to get this resolved, before big Pharma rules yet another class of people through their pain levels.

The Supreme Court on Friday issued notices to Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, the Centre and the Central Bureau of Investigation on a petition alleging that efforts were made by the United Progressive Alliance government to scuttle the prosecution of the accused in the multi-crore fodder scam cases.
The court also issued notice to Central Board of Direct Taxes on the allegation that the Patna Income Tax Tribunal had hurriedly quashed the income tax demand against Yadav.
The petitioners Rajeev Ranjan Singh and Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sushil Kumar Modi have sought a direction from the court seeking cancellation of the bail granted to Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi in the fodder scam cases.
Requesting the court to reinstate the prosecutors who were handling the fodder scam cases in the trial court, the petitioners said that the court should direct that no prosecutor or any CBI officer attached with investigation and trial of these scam cases should be removed.
They also requested the court to monitor the progress in the trial of fodder scam cases pending against the Bihar chief minister.

By James Dohnert
On Tuesday March 29th, President Obama addressed the critics of his decision to commit American forces in Libya during a nationally televised speech at the National Defense University. Sticking to a message of moral justification and global partnership, he laid out what some commentators are declaring is effectively his doctrine for foreign policy.
It is a policy that echoes an American obligation to the world while separating itself from the concepts of presidents that came before. "To brush aside America's responsibility as a leader and - more profoundly - our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are," said the president in response to critics who felt the Libyan problem is not ours to bear.
Much like former President Bill Clinton did when he acted to stop the mass killings in the Balkans, Obama used American military might to prevent the death of innocents abroad. And by doing so, he reiterated the ideal of an American responsibility to the global community, one that assists in aiding humanity as a whole and attempts to offer a helping hand in places like the politically distraught nation of Libya.
Aware of the criticism that he wasn't doing enough and should attempt to oust Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the president said, "Broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake."
Instead he called for assistance to Libyan rebels already on the ground and reiterated the need for support from allies across the globe. "Real leadership creates the conditions and coalitions for others to step up as well, to work with allies and partners so that they bear their share of the burden and pay their share of the costs," the president said.
The president's call for cooperation and coalitions is where he differs from his predecessor President George W. Bush. During a speech to The Commonwealth Club in 2002, Bush stated, "Across the world, governments have heard this message: You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists."
President Obama did not echo the ex-president's mentality of us-against-them in 2011. Stating that "the burden of action should not be America's alone," the president made it clear that his concept of a better world requires cooperation.
By justifying his actions to critics on the Left and the Right, he maintains that his presidency is both different and similar to those that came before them. Setting himself apart while reminding the world of leaders from the past Obama continues to shape a legacy that will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time.
You can read former President Bush's entire 2002 speech online; also, to voice your opinion on the Libya situation, be sure to join the Commonwealth Club's Middle East discussion group on April the 25th.

...was installed on my Vector today (pics to follow). I am very satisfied with the sound. It has a very deep rumble to it and with the JR filter it really sounds like a euro race car! Compared to the Borla catback exhaust I have on my Toy pickup, the magnaflow is far superior in sound. In addition, it is not loud inside the cabin at all even when all windows and sunroof are closed. But for the most part, I had all my windows and sunroof open coming back from the shop just to hear the deeeep, bassy sound! I highly recommend it. 8)

Pics of my newly redesigned rear sets. ...*snip*... The rods came from the guys at Dime City.
I should have asked that flat out. I thought they were pretty far back. I'm 6'1" and I don't think I could enjoy a ride with that setup.You can always move them though...How did you plug the rear fender loop holes after you cut them? I was told you should weld slugs into it, but I'm not sure where the slug store is in Fort Worth, and I'm not confident on the little 110 weld-o-tron in my garage. Other options would be cool.

Mushroom Lamp
Colourful fun LED lamps in the shape of mushrooms. Perfect for evoking the weird and wonderful world of Wonderland, or of course Super Mario Brothers!
great light show for night riding!
No car is going to miss you and accidently hit you when you have these snazzy lights going. Stay safe in style. These are too fun to pass up...if only I had a bike!
This thing is awesome...I always like to have a fan going at my desk, and this one has a dual function by giving you a light show while you cool off.
This puzzle is cute and pretty challenging as well. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but it seems as though it may be pretty difficult
For those who may be reluctant to take down the christmas lights, these would save you a few months. A great decoration for springTags: led, decorative, usb, lights, Easter, easter eggs, decorativelightsAdded 8 Years Ago from Brando

SIIG's SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to SATA 2.5" Enclosure is a cutting-edge product designed to enable SATA 2.5" hard disk drives to work with your USB 3.0 enabled desktop or notebook computer.

I've purchased a few of these and they've all worked flawlessly. The quality is good, it includes four (4) mounting screws, and while I already own a plethora of mini screwdrivers, to show you how much thought and/or consideration went into the packaging of the item, they even included an (inexpensive) screwdriver for those smaller sized screws needed to secure the drive and case. I was, I have to admit, impressed by their thoughtfulness. Assuming you already have the proper hard drive to insert into the case, you'll be up and (re)formatting your new hard drive a couple of minutes after opening the package.

They always have good communication and the products I order show up in time.

President Casey tours Westminster's Main Street in "Get Acquainted Walk"
Called the "Get Acquainted Walk," the tour was scheduled as an opportunity to foster stronger ties between the campus and the city. Casey and the college's senior vice presidents – Provost and Dean of the Faculty Thomas Falkner, Vice President of Administration and Finance Ethan Seidel, Vice President of Institutional Advancement Richard Kief, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Dean of Admissions Florence Hines, and Dean and Vice President of Student Affairs Beth Gerl. Also from McDaniel: Robyn Allers, community liaison, and college trustees Dolly Snyder, Carolyn Scott and James Lightner – visited nearly 20 businesses and homes during the tour.
"I'm learning that we have a great relationship here," Casey told a local news reporter from the Carroll County Times. "There is a great sense of community here in Westminster."
Among other businesses visited, Casey stopped at Ain't That a Frame, an art and framing shop on Main Street, where he met owners Lou and Andrew Chang.
"It's really nice to see this man step off the hill and be a part of our community," Lou Chang told the Carroll County Times. "It's nice to see he's interested in making a connection."
Westminster City officials who joined Casey on the tour included Mayor Kevin Utz; City Administrator Margaret Wolf; Planning Director Stan Ruchlewicz; City Council President Damian Halstad; and council members Dr. Robert Wack, Suzanne Albert, Anthony Chaivacci and Gregory Pecoraro.
The tour began at Ward Arch at the college's Main Street entrance. Stops included the Carroll Arts Center, Carroll County Public Library, and several local businesses along Main Street. The tour ended at O'Lourdans Irish Pub and Restaurant on Liberty Street.

I have an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe from a great uncle who has passed away, he worked at a bakery. Apparently these are some really great cookies, but the recipe is in pounds which are not a problem but it does not state how much vanilla and salt to use or the cooking time or temperature. I figure that someone has ran into this before and wondered if you could help.
Thank you
Please head on over to my recipe site to grab the recipe for these AWESOME Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies! YUM YUM YUM.
It only takes 1 minute to click, the recipe is the first thing you will see. Thanks! http://domesticconcoction.blogspot.com/
This is what I did tonight while waiting for my sourdough to be ready for it's second stretch and fold. Never been so excited about a cookie before.
Recipe is at the link. Try it and tell me what you think. I need to convert the cups to weight, but I was just throwing it together.
I have a bread recipe that calls for 30 minutes at 425ºF on a cookie sheet. I've prepared this recipe a half dozen times and it always turns out great. It's not broken, but I'd like to fix it. :) I have a 1/2" pizza stone. Would baking on the stone yield a better finished result? If I go the baking stone route, would I tweak temps or baking times?

Yamaguchi to defend WBA 115lb belt against Rodriquez
By Joe Koizumi
We use Chinese letters instead of alphabet in Japan. Putting a letter meaning a woman three times, it signifies noisy. If no less than four female boxers fight in a doubleheader, that might be more than noisy, that is, extravagant. Japanese promoter and ex-WBA junior flyweight champ who kept his belt thirteen times, Yoko Gushiken today announced the initial defense of his pupil and WBA female super-flyweight champ Naoko Yamaguchi (19-3-3, 16 KOs) since she celebrated her coronation by dethroning compatriot Tsunami Tenkai this July. Yamaguchi, a 34-year-old ex-javelin thrower, will put her belt on the line against a tough Mexican Judith Rodriguez (6-3, 4 KOs) at the Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, on November 12. On the same bill, unbeaten female dynamite Noriko Tsunoda (2-0, 2 KOs), formerly a highly regarded kick-boxer, will cope with compatriot Mari Inamoto (4-5) for the vacant OPBF 115-pound belt (renounced by former titlist Yamaguchi).
The 57-year-old Gushiken, a well-known television talent as well as an impresario, said, "The female boxing is not yet so popular here, but such a hard-punching world champ as Yamaguchi may be able to enlighten our fight fans to open their eyes to this field. We hope Yamaguchi's successful and impressive defense for that purpose." Yamaguchi wishes to dedicate a victory to his mentor Gushiken. The four girls will fight while many female spectators loudly hail their busy-punching favorites. It will be an extravagant night.

Raised in the great outdoors of Montana, Brad's at home with horses, camping and farm life.
After graduating in Butte with a Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Brad went to work in Alaska's oil field as a drill site operator. His off hours were spent pursuing a Master's degree in Engineering Management at the University in Anchorage and enjoying Alaska's rugged beauty.
During this time, Brad, Catholic from birth, began devoting more time to reading the Bible, prayer and volunteering at Covenant House, an organization that cares for runaway kids.
Bible reading, prayer and community service budded into a religious calling. At 26, Brad left his occupation to follow a vocation with a Franciscan community in Connecticut. As a religious brother, Brad taught high school math, science and religion at a boys' boarding school. Among other things, he helped run Catholic summer camps for kids and taught adult catechism.
After a 30-year run, the religious community ended. So, 22 years and two masters degrees in Theology later, Brad began working as a writer and associate producer for ChurchMilitant.com.
Brad continues to live a simple life of dedication and enjoys meeting new people while becoming reacquainted with old friends.

The advice in this tutorial is based on shooting a traditional British Christian church wedding, for the simple reason that it's the only kind of which I have first-hand experience. If any readers would like to share their experiences of photographing marriage ceremonies in other traditions, please feel free to use the comments section at the end of the article.
In part one of this tutorial I discussed preparations for shooting a wedding as the official photographer, including what sort of equipment you'll need and planning for the big day. a In part two I talked about your duties on the big day, what sort of shots to take at each stage and how to take them. In today's third and final instalment I'll take a look at sorting, processing and presenting the photos you took, including making a wedding album.
The traditional end product of a wedding photographer's work is the wedding album, a pictorial record of the wedding day, and hopefully something that the happy couple will treasure for the rest of their lives. Creating something of such significance should not be undertaken lightly, so you owe it to the couple, be they clients or friends, to do the best job you can and to use the best quality materials in its preparation.
These days of course many couples will have access to a photo-quality printer of their own, or may want to email wedding pictures to friends or relatives. They may even have a website or online gallery for wedding pictures, so they will probably also want digital copies of the pictures, on a CD or DVD. You can include this in the service you provide.
