GUATEMALA CITY The selection of Sochi, Russia, here Wednesday as the 2014 Winter Olympics host could reverberate all the way to Chicago, the U.S. candidate for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Or not.
"I don't think so," U.S. International Olympic Committee member Anita DeFrantz said when asked if Wednesday's result would affect the 2016 vote, scheduled to take place in October 2009, "or I think everything that happens every place affects everything else."
Sochi's victory seemingly makes it difficult for a European city to win the 2016 Games, with London hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics.
"I think it sort of illustrates even more than ever that it's now America's time," Canadian IOC member Dick Pound said.
Most IOC members say they don't subscribe to a sense of continental rotation, but they haven't awarded three consecutive Olympics to cities on the same continent since Albertville and Barcelona hosted the Winter and Summer Olympics, respectively, in 1992, followed by a Winter Games in Lillehammer in 1994.
There haven't been consecutive Summer Olympics on one continent since London hosted the 1948 Games, followed by Helsinki in 1952.
Madrid, Milan, Prague, Rome and St. Petersburg, Russia, are possible 2016 bidders, although it's unlikely now that St. Petersburg will bid.
"I didn't expect that 2016 could go to Europe," Norwegian IOC member Gerhard Heiberg said. "But I could be wrong. Madrid could have a very strong bid."
Madrid, a strong contender for the 2012 Summer Olympics, is likely to be a factor regardless of continental ties because of backing from former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch, who is from Spain.
The non-European cities in the expected field are: Baku, Azerbaijan; Chicago; Doha, Qatar; Rio de Janeiro; and Tokyo. Of those, Chicago, Rio and Tokyo appear to be the strongest competitors.
Chicago and Rio would present the possibility of the first Summer Olympics in the Americas since Atlanta hosted the 1996 Games.
Rio's readiness will get a good test this month as it hosts the Pan American Games from July 13-29. Rio's performance figures to impact Chicago's chances even more than Sochi's victory.
"Whether Rio will be a strong candidate for 2016 or not — at least a part of the story will be told in the month of July," DeFrantz said.
If Rio hosts a successful Pan Am Games, "for them, it will be a major step forward," German IOC member Thomas Bach said.
IOC president Jacques Rogge has said many times he would like a city in South America or Africa to host the Games. Neither continent ever has hosted an Olympics.
"The Games are universal in every respect," Bach said. "But we haven't shown it yet with the organization of the Games."
The IOC asked 2016 bidders not to attend this week's meetings so that the focus could be on the 2014 race. Now the 2016 campaigning can begin.
The first stop on the trail for Chicago 2016 chairman Pat Ryan and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley: Rio, where several IOC members and other top international sports officials will be attending the Pan Am Games.
Any reverberations from Sochi's victory, though, will not make Ryan any more confident about Chicago's chances.
"People like to speculate about, well, if this happens, then naturally something else will or won't happen," he said from his office in Chicago last week. "I just don't buy that."

Sometimes our users lose connection to the termianl server for one reason or another. When they log back in, they have lost all of their work. I have not found a auto save feature for any of the office applications. Is their a way I can set it up so that anything they are working on in office, since that is what they use the most, can automatically save every minute? That would save a lot of trouble. Thanks,
May 28, 2009 at 10:23 UTC
Hi Justin,
Office does have Auto Save features, which version are you using?
Also, how have you got your TS service setup? If you set it up correctly, you can specify that disconnected sessions are not terminated right away. Therefore if someone gets disconnected, they can reconnect and continue the session they were on without any loss.
This is a slightly different thread, but has instructions for you to follow if applicable.

Hi Justin
See if this link helps
you can also look at
Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Terminal Services/Sessions in group policy and set it so the sessions never expire therefore if a user looses connection they can connect back in again without the applications closing and continure where they left off from

We are running office 2003 on our terminal servers. I have seen a recovery feature but that is not the same as auto save. I have the auto recovery feature turned on but was unable to find any auto save feature for 2003.
I followed the link TTG posted and I turned on the feature so that disconnected sessions can be reconnected back again. This will definately help as most of the lose happens from random disconnects as opposed to word crashing.
I am over looking something? We are to a good start. Thanks for the information posted so far!
May 28, 2009 at 11:47 UTC
I agree with adjusting the sessions setup, but would recommend against setting then to "never" expire. For our TS I have it set up to allow them to reconnect within 3 hours, more than long enough if they are wanting to come back and use the same session. This also keeps users from using resources on the TS when they are not there, such as when they leave on vacation or whatever.
just my 2cents
May 29, 2009 at 3:43 UTC
Hi Justin, sorry for the delayed response - different time zones and all that ;)
I'd say you are ready to go with the settings you made in TS. I know it doesn't address the auto-save question you mentioned, but as the sessions are not terminated immediately, the work should still be there when the users return.
If you are still looking to setup auto-saves in Office, here are some instructions:
However, that would be profile specific to the users, so unless you look into applying these settings through a GPO you would need to make the changes individually on a per user basis.
May 29, 2009 at 8:15 UTC
Thanks for the information TTG. I am sure that it will be sufficient for the session to remain open for the users to save their work.
Jun 12, 2009 at 9:56 UTC
I made the recommended changes but I guess I still have a problem. I tested the settings by clicking the X in the top right hand corner of the RDP session and then reconnecting to see if my session was still active. That worked great. Our main site just experienced a internet connectino loss for a couple of minutes yesterday and when all of the users reconnected, they started their sessions over. Did I miss something?
Jun 12, 2009 at 10:04 UTC
I just simulated a connection loss by unplugging my laptop while I was in a termianl server session. The result was if I plug the cable back in before the 20 attempts to reconnect are up, it reconnects and my session is their as normal. If I wait out the 20 attempts and it fails, then I reconnect. It will start the session over. What I need is to make it so that the session will be their after an hour of no connection. If they don't have a connection within an hour, I can go in and save the work for them.
Jun 12, 2009 at 10:04 UTC
There are at least 2 places you can go to set the auto timeout/ disconnect settings. One is in active directory, the other is on the terminal server itself.
If you make changes, it may require the users to log of then back in for the change to take effect, or it may even require a complete restart of the server... I'd have to look.
Also, with AD, make sure it has had time to publish through, and is not superceded by another policy!
Jun 12, 2009 at 10:10 UTC
* EDIT - ignore this post of mine as you gave more info before I could respond and this response is irrelevant ;)
The primary site loosing internet connectivity for only a few minutes should not kick off all the remote users and terminate their sessions... I find that odd. Did you check to see if the Terminal Server for some reason was rebooted or the TS services were stalled/restarted (killing the sessions). What caused the internet drop, did it effect any other systems or servers?
If you followed the previous post's settings, then that's all there should be to it.
Jun 12, 2009 at 10:11 UTC
I used the second post to make adjustments to the settings in termianl server configuration. I made those two weeks ago. The servers reboot every night. Is that the change you were talking about on the termianl servers themselves? If so, is the AD change you are referring to the GPO settings? When I make changes, it does say users need to log out and back in for changes to take affect. That is when I adjust setting in the termianl server configuration. I have looked at both the GP and TS configuration settings and they look fine to me. Maybe I am overlooking a setting?
Jun 12, 2009 at 10:19 UTC
Justin, the settings you followed should keep sessions alive for the specified times you entered.
Take a look at the attachment below. This is from my TS. As you can see, I have specified that a session can remain idle for 30 minutes, and in a disconnected state for 1 hour. Also make sure the check box that says "when session limit is reached or broken..." is set to disconnect, and not end session.
You might want to try these settings out on your system.
Jun 12, 2009 at 10:24 UTC
I just found the GP settings called "set time limit for disconnected session" and it was not configured. I set it to one day and we will see if that corrects the problem. I also have my settings configured as you have shown above. Thanks for helping me out again! I really appreciate.
Jun 16, 2009 at 10:04 UTC
I just tested it again but no luck. I connected to my TS and unplugged my ethernet cable. I watched it retry to connect 20 times and it failed. I plugged the cable back in and connected to the TS again and the session started over again, meaning it termianted my old disconnected session immediately. Please find attached a picture of my settings. Is their a GPO setting that may be over riding these settings? Thanks,
Jun 16, 2009 at 10:32 UTC
There are at least 3 places you can control this from and GP is one of them.
I would go into the group policy management mmc, and try the Group Policy Results option to help determine if there is a GPO messing you up.
the area to look at is...
computer config - admin templates - windows components - terminal services
you can also control settings via active directory, on the users properties pages (check the sessions tabs)..
And, as you posted, you can control settings directly in the TS magager on the TS itself.
Jun 16, 2009 at 2:26 UTC
I attached my GPO settings. I don't see anything wrong with these. I used GP results and modeling. I noticed that a policy or two is applied to my termianl servers and most of the termianl server settings you mentioned I should check in GP are set to not configured on those GP's. However, the ones attached to this post are set correctly ( I think) and that policy is enforced so I don't think the other policies would have an effect? Thanks,
Jun 16, 2009 at 3:47 UTC
Hey there, thanks for posting that, it helps! don't you love the GP modeling functions.. they make it much easier to wade through all the GPO's.
As for your issue, I think you need to drill down one more level... the folder named "sessions" on the screen shot you posted is where the settings you are concerned with are located.
also, did you chech in AD on the users properties pages?
Jun 17, 2009 at 8:46 UTC
I attached a picture of the sessions section of the GP for our TS. I did check the users properties page and they are all left empty. I had no memory of ever adjusting those but I double checked to make sure.
I have never used the GP modeling function much but it has been a nice help.
Thanks for the information.
Jun 17, 2009 at 9:10 UTC
Cool. I'm assuming you went into the settings and looked at the timeouts that are set in the G.P.? based on the explanations associated with them, you can use the GP option to customize for groups.. but where you seem to be trying to set every user on the TS to the same setup, you might consider just setting the GP to "not configured". This should redirect control of the sessions to the TS itself, which you have already configured.
if you do this, make sure to run the "gpupdate /force" command on both the DC and TS, or it may take a couple hours for the GPO to propagate through.
Jun 17, 2009 at 9:18 UTC
I set the settings in the sessions section of the GP to not configured and i'll test it in the AM just to be sure the settings update appropriately.
Thanks again!
Jun 18, 2009 at 1:53 UTC
Tested again with no luck. I started a new session when I reconnected.
I ran a GP result with a standard user and one of the terminal servers. I did not see any problem or concliting GPO settings. A picture is attached with the comptuer configuration and the user configuration is posted below. What am I missing?
|Set time limit for disconnected sessions
|2003 Terminal Server Policy
|Sets a time limit for active but idle Terminal Services sessions
|2003 Terminal Server Policy
|Terminate session when time limits are reached
2003 Terminal Server Policy
Jun 18, 2009 at 1:54 UTC
The user portion did not post well. Here is a picture. Thanks,
Jun 18, 2009 at 4:21 UTC
Have you tried using two sessions??? Open session one as the admin, launch the TS manager and monitor whats happening.
Session two, log in as a user, disconnect. Go back to session one, how is the user listed.. did they get logged off? or are they still now listed as disconnected?
Try to reconnect, you'll probably get the same results, but this may tell you if the problem is as the disconect stage or the reconnect stage. Hopefully this helps you narrow down where the problem might be...
Jul 29, 2009 at 9:50 UTC
Sorry for the delay. I had a very busy month and didn't have a chance to check this out until now.
I tested one machine while monitoring it on another. If I just click the X in the top right hand corner of the termianl server session and reconnect, the session goes to disconnected when I click the X but when I sign back in, I resume the session.
If I unplug the ethernet cable to simulate an internet outtage, then the session disappears from the termianl server manager screen. Their is no status change, it just disapperas and the session starts over, causing me to lose all of my work.
Any thoughts on some settings I can still adjust? thanks,

The Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC has issued a 14-day ultimatum to Niger Delta militant groups to move out of the South-West.
According to VANGUARD, The OPC in a statement titled "Incursion of Ijaw militants into Yoruba land: Enough is enough" signed by Comrade Dare Adesope said: "Enough of these invasions, killings and kidnapping of our people right on our own soil. We of the Oodua Peoples Congress (Reformed) have waited for this long, hoping that the government would curb the deadly acts of the Ijaw people on our kinsmen in their fatherland in Ogun and Lagos states.
"But, it has now dawned on us that the lives and properties of our people and, indeed, the masses are of no importance to those in authorities and the marauding militants. "It is a known fact that we, the Yoruba, are the most contented, accommodating and tolerant among all the ethnic groups in Nigeria. We wholeheartedly welcome other tribes coming into our states either to reside or do business.
"But, if they want to take our hospitality for stupidity, we are ready to prove to them that the gentility of a tiger is not an act of cowardice. Before now, it was the Fulani herdsmen, now it is the Ijaw people that are on the prowl. Enough is enough
"Consequently, we are giving the Ijaw militants a 14-day ultimatum to allow peace to reign in our land. If they fail to heed the warning, it will henceforth be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We will prove to them that Lagos belongs to the Yoruba and not a no man's land that they tend to erroneously claim. If they must care to know, we have information and facts about where their leaders' properties are situated in the entire South-West and where their people reside in our midst as well."

English | ISBN: 0062439650 | 2016 | 400 pages | EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 | 9 MB
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking backstairs look at the White House, The Residence, comes an intimate, news-making look at the true modern power brokers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: the First Ladies, from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama.
One of the most underestimated"and challenging"positions in the world, the First Lady of the United States must be many things: an inspiring leader with a forward-thinking agenda of her own; a savvy politician, skilled at navigating the treacherous rapids of Washington; a wife and mother operating under constant scrutiny; and an able CEO responsible for the smooth operation of countless services and special events at the White House. Now, as she did in her smash #1 bestseller The Residence, former White House correspondent Kate Andersen Brower draws on a wide array of untapped, candid sources"from residence staff and social secretaries to friends and political advisers"to tell the stories of the ten remarkable women who have defined that role since 1960.
Brower offers new insights into this privileged group of remarkable women, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Patricia Nixon, Betty Ford, Rosalynn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama. The stories she shares range from the heartwarming to the shocking and tragic, exploring everything from the first ladies� political crusades to their rivalries with Washington figures; from their friendships with other first ladies to their public and private relationships with their husbands. She also offers a detailed and insightful new portrait of one of the most-watched first ladies of all time, Hillary Clinton, asking what her tumultuous years in the White House may tell us about her own historic presidential run . . . and what life could be like with the nation�s first First Husband.
Candid and illuminating, this first group biography of the modern first ladies provides a revealing look at life upstairs and downstairs at the world�s most powerful address.

Two-time champion Lee Chong Wei regained the men's singles title by fending off the challenge from Boonsak Ponsana to win the Japan Open badminton tournament on Sunday.
The Malaysian top seed, the winner in Japan in 2007 and 2010, powered his way through to a 21-18, 21-18 victory over the Thai.
"It was really a good match, but it was tough," said Lee, 29.
"This is my first tournament after the London Olympics. I'm very happy to start with this victory. I can put my disappointment behind me with this title," said Lee, who lost to Lin Dan in the Olympic finals twice in a row.
Lee hit a smash to take the first game, and then neither could take a decisive lead in the second game to be tied at 5-5.
Lee jumped ahead 10-6 showing several disguised overhead drop shots combined with a smash and then took a commanding 20-15 lead.
Boonsak tenaciously saved three match points to trail 18-20, but his jump smash went wide after a long rally on the next point to surrender the 42-minute match.
Lee improved his record against Boonsak to 14 wins against two defeats.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Thoughts on..... CA Supreme Court case Green v. Superior Court (1974), which states that because there is an implied warranty of habitability in all residential rental agreeements, the tenant does have the right to withhold/reduce rent for habitability issues.Excerpts from Knight v. Hallsthammar (1981), 29 Cal.3d 46(expands on Green v. Superior) - GIVES TENANTS RIGHT TO REDUCE/WITHHOLD RENT RE HABITABILITY ISSUES, despite not being codified. "[t]he landlord's lack of fault and reasonable efforts to repair do not prolong the duty to pay full rent."..."At least in a situation where, as here, a landlord has notice of alleged uninhabitable conditions not caused by the tenants themselves, a landlord's breach of the implied warranty of habitability exists whether or not he has had a "reasonable" time to repair. Otherwise, the mutual dependence of a landlord's obligation to maintain habitable premises, and of a tenant's duty to pay rent, would make no sense.
In California, a warranty of habitability is implied in all residential rental agreements. Green v. Superior Court (1974) 10 Cal.3d 616, 629. The implied warranty "recognizes the realities of the modern urban landlord-tenant relationship and imposes upon the landlord the obligation to maintain leased dwellings in a habitable condition throughout the term of the lease." Peterson v. Superior Court (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1185, 1204, quoting Green v. Superior Court, supra, 10 Cal.3d at 619.
The implied warranty of habitability is, in effect, a corollary to a residential landlord's statutory obligation to put the premises "into a condition fit for such [residential] occupation, and repair all subsequent dilapidations thereof, which render it untenantable." Civil Code section 1941. A tenant's right to "habitable premises" is non-waiveable, and residential landlords cannot avoid the warranty of habitability by contracting around it in their leases. See Civil Code section 1942.1.
Civil Code section 1941.1 defines untenantable dwellings and specifies specific "tenant-ability" characteristics, including plumbing and gas facilities that conform to state and local law at the time of installation maintained in good working order. Civil Code section 1941.1(b). Moreover, any building or portion of a building, including any dwelling unit, guestroom or suite of rooms, is deemed substandard under the State Housing Law and "untenantable" under Civil Code section 1941.1 whenever a prescribed condition exists to the extent that it "endangers the life, limb, health, property, safety, or welfare of the public or the occupants." Health and Safety Code section 17920.3. Inadequate plumbing system is one of the prescribed conditions. See Health and Safety Code section 17920.3. California courts have found that water leaks can constitute substantial defects sufficient to constitute statutory non-compliance under the State Housing Law. See Knight v. Hallsthammer (1981) 29 Cal.3d 46, 50.

So Green v. Superior Court gives tenants the right to withhold/reduce rent for periods when the rental unit is not habitable/in compliance with the law?
Attorney Lee gave you an excellent response. It is accurate. You haven't really asked a specific question though.
Frank W. Chen has been licensed to practice law in California since 1988. The information presented here is general in nature and is not intended, nor should be construed, as legal advice. This posting does not create any attorney-client relationship with the author. For specific advice about your particular situation, consult your own attorney.Ask a similar question
It sounds as if you are asking if it is okay for you to withhold rent to make repairs. The answer is yes, but you need to be careful anytime you resort to "self-help" so that you are not harmed. Your best approach is to file a complaint with the health department if there habitability issues.
If you want to move, try and work something out with your landlord.
Actually, I am talking about reducing rent for periods when the unit is not habitable. For example, landlord asks tenatn to to vacate for a few days because he wants to tent the building to spray for bugs, or where there is major construction going on in the unit. The tenant is not only not required to pay rent for those periods, but the landlord is required to make the tenant whole for tenant's damages (i.e. for tenatn eating out instead of at home, for tenant having to stay at a hotel or elsewhere, etc).

In the midpoint of San Francisco bay, framed by more than a few of the supreme divine and olympian views in the rural area lies Alcatraz Island. A national punitory is not normally built-in on the list of one's time off plans, notwithstanding the precedent and comeliness of this desert island writ an exception. From 1934 to 1963 a cipher of the supreme feared criminals in the American social control regulations called "the rock" nest. Famous for the crude contrast between its spectacularly calm atmosphere and the cruelty of beingness and fictitious character within its walls, Alcatraz has recovered its way into American cognitive content.
Originally named "Isla de los Alcatraces", or "Island of the Pelicans" it was ulterior changed and curtailed to Alcatraz. Today looking out from the coral reef people see a charming belief from the Golden Gate Bridge, and downtown San Francisco, to the Bay Bridge, and Treasure Island. One can for a jiffy conceive of this situation as the locale of a smart hotel. Turning from the views peripheral the terra firma to its inside list however, chop-chop brings wager on the feeling that this land mass was the country of a little relaxed yesteryear.
Most renowned for its duty as a prison, Alcatraz was ab initio a branch of knowledge bed. When gold ingots was disclosed in California in 1848 San Francisco's people jumped from 300 to 30,000 in a thing of old age. With this new appearance of people and wealthiness in attendance was a status for the United States parliament to shield the vastness from other nations. In 1850 once California became a state, a trilateral of fortifications was deliberate to lavish care on San Francisco Bay. Upon its maneuver in 1853 Fortress Alcatraz took on the organize part as the most uncontrolled coastal defence on the hesperian sea-coast. The reshape of the atoll was unified into the design, and last walls were reinforced on the pebbly isle, going away the tie-down as the with the sole purpose admittance to the military post.
Alcatraz was ne'er named upon to watch over the bay, notwithstanding a digit of undersize incidents during the Civil War brought the coral isle into the spot low-density. As its use as a protecting bastion lessoned, the coral reef began to appropriate on a new role, that of subject area detention. Eleven enlisted men were incarcerated in the headquarters underground store in 1859, and step by step deserters, thieves, and different subject area criminals were transmitted in that from the San Franciscan forts. Finally in 1861 Alcatraz was called the civil servant cell for the Department of the Pacific. The islet served this office until 1933 once the outflow of commerce rations led the Army to leave, causing prisoners to Kansas and New Jersey.
At this point offence in America had get an getting higher problem, fed largely by the troubles related next to veto. A new correctional institution was sought that could takings the inferior of the country's criminals, and isolate them from the state-supported. While ground in Alaska was in the beginning considered, the Army's new departure from Alcatraz lined the coral reef as the evaluation for America's new "super-prison". The artifact was to purloin in the best troublemaking of inmates from other prisons around the commonwealth.
In 1934, Al Capone, perhaps the penitentiary's record notorious prisoner, arrived as one of the initial endorsed transfers. His achievement generated gigantic interest, and sparked much headlines afterwards the maiden of the prison itself. Previously spell in prison in Atlanta, Capone had been able to attain a life-style inside the detention centre that was unheard of for else prisoners. A carpeted compartment and a radio were among the niceties he was able to secure finished bribes and new methods. He was even able to keep up to be in charge of his administration through with relatives who official themselves in a immediate building. For this pretext he was put on a protected dungeon line car without notice, and shipped to Alcaztraz in the hopes that the insufficiency of uncovered communication would be the government's answer to the Capone idiosyncrasy. On the stone Capone was never competent to rub down the park ranger or guards, and was confined to humble duties on near the remains of the prison population. Staying solely 4 ½ age due to wellness complications Capone leftmost for FCI Terminal Island in 1939.
Despite J. Edgar Hoover's disappointment near the idea, growing costs and a new federal dungeon in Illinois brought almost the closing of Alcatraz in 1963. Capone, on next to some other celebrated inmates such as as George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Alvin Karpis, and Robert Franklin Stroud (the birdman of Alcatraz), ensured that the correctional institution would unrecorded in American minds for years to go.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Television host Leeza Gibbons is sharing life lessons in a new book. The 'America Now' host talks about reinventing yourself, taking ownership of your life, and even gives some homemade beauty tips.
Leeza Gibbons talked with Michelle Li who was also hosting a Google Plus hangout, and here's a snippet of the interview:
Tell us how things are going at 'America Now' -
I love 'America Now.' I mean, come on, this is like a dream job to be able to take so many varieties, so many topics, so many kinds of stories and offer it up in a way that makes sense for people and put it to use in their lives right away. You know, we say, 'it's news you can really use' and that's true. That's true.
I've seen you with a lot of homemade beauty remedies. Do you come up with those yourself?
It's so funny. I've sort of fell into these celebrity-inspired homegrown beauty tips using things from your pantry, lots of lemons, lots of avocados, and eggs and all kinds of things that are really great, very effective beauty treatments. Some of them come from the website, some of them come from Facebook, some of them come from my mom who used to actually wrap my hair. I had the most stringy hair. She'd wrap it in beer, mayonnaise and eggs. Hey, it worked!
Any specific kind of beer?
A lot of people find that after you get build up on your hair for so long that the beer is a really great thing to strip all of that extraneous product that dull down your shine. Hysterical that I'm giving you the full-on beauty tips, oh my gosh!
Watch what Leeza says about caretakers finding balance in their lives
Congrats on your new book, 'Take Two'. Give us the biggest take away.
I wrote 'Take Two' because I think at some point in life we lose ourselves a bit. And, along the way we need a little tune up, a little tweek, maybe we need a major transformation or maybe we just need to take charge. I've found a lot of people say, 'Well, I'm resentful, or I'm angry and that's not me. Or I don't know when I started letting people take advantage of me. You know I'm a people pleaser, and I want to reign that back in.' All kinds of reasons to call for another take, and any time is a good time for a re-do. I think we need to give ourselves permission to recognize 'this is my life, these are my rules', and as soon as you show up in that way, everyone around you will start treating you differently.
You wrote, 'sometimes when you say yes to other people, you say no to yourself' -
I think that we want to say yes to things. Yes feels good. You know, we want to be liked, we want to get along, we want to nurture situations. Many times when we say yes to others, we say are saying no to ourselves because it's taking our time away from things that we value more. We consider ourselves to be pushovers who once again got roped into something, and then we lose respect for ourselves. So, I think that before you say yes, see if it fits into what, I call, your empowerment system. That's what yes stands for to me. And, if it empowers you, if it makes you feel confident, if it makes you feel validated, then say yes to it. But, if it doesn't, then I think you should say no and just not look the other way. I'm all about no regrets, no excuses, no looking back. But to do that, you really do have to be the person in the driver's seat of your own life.
You mention taking ownership in your life. What did you mean by that?
I think you have to start with making a promise to yourself. I think you have to get very clear about 'What do I care about now?' We get stuck in the past. We think about 'When I left college, this was my dream. And then when I got married, this is what I wanted.' And, you know, life kind of layers up, and it gets fuzzy. So, step number one of taking ownership of your life is taking inventory, write a mission statement - what do you want your life to stand for? Not a goal list, but a mission statement. And, there are a lot of people who work well with vision boards, they like visuals... if you are the kind of person that rolls your eyes at that, try it. Try it. And, try saying what you want out loud. I do it on the treadmill or when I'm walking , cause what we know with our brain is whatever we say with the greatest energy, and if we say it out loud, it gets more deeply embedded somewhere in our cellular DNA or our emotional thumbprint. So, I think that those are good first steps just to get honest with yourself about who am I now, who do I want to be and really releasing the parts that you don't like--changing the energy in your life so that you can ring in what you want to be.

Equipment Edit
- Survivor or radiant armor
- Runes of Superior Vigor, minor Tactics, Restoration, and Clarity.
- Zealous, Vampiric, and Elemental swords Fortitude, and a Tactics shield.
Usage Edit
- Use Sever Artery to spread bleeding and to prepare for Gash.
- Use Gash on bleeding targets to inflict Deep Wound.
- Use Sun and Moon Slash to bypass blocking skills.
- Use "Charge!" to provide a speed boost for yourself and your allies.
- Use Frenzy to increase your attack speed to gain adrenaline and on spikes. Cancel it with Rush when you take damage.

- Spike with Sever Artery and Gash, followed by Sun and Moon Slash.
