Mineral Mini Project, Mrs. Smith November 3rd
Fluorite is a mineral made from calcium fluoride (CaF2). A mineral is a naturally occurring solid substance that is inorganic. It also has a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure. Fluorite derives from the Latin noun "fluo," meaning a stream or flow of water. It is the most important natural fluoride. Because of its richness in colors, it has always been fascinating to man.
When it's Tested...
Fluorite is mainly tested in eight different ways. When I tested it, i got these answers:
Exterior color- Describes the specific color(s) of the mineral. The most common colors are purple, blue, green, yellow, or colorless. Less common are pink, red, white, brown, black and mainly every color in between.
Luster- Luster is the way the mineral reflects in light. The luster for this mineral is vitreous.
Streak- the streak is the mark the mineral makes when rubbed against something. From what I tested, there is no streak color.
Cleavage- Cleavage is the way the rock cracks and separates. If the rock cracks with rough edges, it has fracture but if it splits cleanly and smooth, it has cleavage. Cleavage is measured by quality and amount of sides that have cleavage. Fluorite has cleavage and an irregular fracture.
Structure- The structure for a mineral is the type of shape it has. Fluorites structure is orthorhombic.
How Form- Also known as formation, is the process in which the mineral goes through to form. Fluorite forms from evaporating salt water.
Diaphaniety- Diaphaniety is the measure of how much light passes through the mineral. The diaphaniety of fluorite is translucent to opaque.
Special Property
There are 7 different types of special properties. These properties include Fluorescence, Chemical Reaction, Optical Properties, Magnetism, Taste, and Radioactivity, and specific gravity.
Fluorescence- the visible or invisible radiation emitted by certain substances as a result of incident radiation of a shorter wavelength such as X-rays or ultraviolet light. It is can be tested by shinning an ultraviolet light on the mineral. If it glows, it has fluorescence. Fluorite does have this special property.
Chemical Reaction- a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction. You can test the chemical reaction by placing a drop of weak acid on the mineral and watching to see if it "fizzes." If it fizzes, then it must have a chemical reaction. Fluorite does not have a chemical reaction.
Optical Properties- a minerals intrinsic ability to interact with light. To test this property, place the object over text and see if it creates a double image when you look through it. If this happens, then the mineral has an optical property. Fluorite doesn't have an optical property.
Magnetism- a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects. If you want to test weather your mineral has magnetism, place a magnet or screw (something made from metal) on the mineral and see if they attach. Fluorite does not have any magnetism in it.
Taste- the sensation of flavor perceived in the mouth and throat on contact with a mineral. You can test the taste of a mineral by physically tasting it. Usually for minerals, if there is any taste, it would be more of a salty taste. For example, halite has a salty taste. Fluorite doesn't have much of a taste.
Radioactivity- when minerals contain radium or uranium that can be detected by a Geiger counter. A Geiger counter is a device for measuring radioactivity by detecting and counting ionizing particles. There is no radioactivity in fluorite.
Specific Gravity- the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard, usually water for a liquid or solid, and air for a gas. The special gravity for fluorite is 3.0-3.3.
Where do you find fluorite?
Fluorite is found in many places in the world such as places like Germany, Canada, China, Mexico, Norway, a and many other countries.
How is fluorite mined?
Fluorite is mined from sedimentary rocks such as dolomite and limestone.
What is fluorite used for?
Fluorite is made used for many reasons such as a source of fluorine for hydrofluoric acid and fluorinated water. It is also used as a gemstone, ornamental carvings and some special optical uses.

Drunken Superhero
Imagine a superhero who gets his powers only when he's all fscked up. He's have the power to destroy a planet but he'd be too drunk to do it. He could fly, but he'd by too drunk to care. He could lift a building but he'd be too busy trying not to puke as he crawled to the site. He'd be impervious to a nuclear blast but his head would be spinning so fast he wouldn't know where to crawl.
Ah yes, about the only thing this superhero would be good at is hitting on the female bartender, betting on sports, and pissing on or near the head.
Thanks to Mookee and The Defiant One for bringing this particular superhero type to my attention.3 Comments | Catergorized: writing
Yikes! Old Posts!
I have to apologize… I've either been too busy with working or too busy digging through old posts and cleaning them up a bit to write anything of actual substance. It's been strange reading my old stuff. I was so motivated! At least it seems so now. When I wrote about copyright or patents I did research, gave opinions, gave solutions. These days it seems I don't do as much. Mybe I'm just jaded or maybe my predictions that my previous job really did suck the life out of me are true.
One of the weird things I'm noticing is that some of my old categories seem to have been all migrated with the same timestamp. A lot of the books or music reviews, for example. I have no idea why that happened and I'm not about to spend the time trying to fix the dates at this point. Aside from many of the old old entries that were titled with a date I would trust the review dates before 2006. If you care.
One of the more amusing rediscoveries were the Satchel short colabarations I did with gTodd and NHK.
Anyways, I thought I'd post something since it's been quite a while…Comments Off on Yikes! Old Posts! | Catergorized: life site
Cleaning Archives
A couple days ago I imported all the old posts into this site and OOKEE.com. The articles for my site appear to have come through unscathed, but for some reason most of the articles at OOKEE.com are mangled. Probably because of weird formatting issues with the original text files.
I'm going through and fixing all of that, but it's a long and slow process. There were about 2000 articles spanning three years. I've started at the beginning (January of 2003) and have been working my way forward in time. I'm currently up to September, 2003. Yikes!
So posting here and there might be slower than usual for while. Please bear with it!4 Comments | Catergorized: life site
Old Content Now Imported!
As most of you will know, I used to run my blog at http://sp.ookee.com. I migrated to this domain at the beginning of the year. I had been looking for methods to bring over the content, tried a few things, and finally gave up; none of it was working as I expected it to and I didn't have the time or patience to diddle and specifically learn PHP.
My friend Jason had a similar initial setup; an old Blosxom blog and a new WordPress blog. Being a much more tech-savvy netizen than I, he figured out all the tricks for migrating and at long last posted up how he did it. What follows is a personal note to him…
Jason, you so absolutely rock! I had been trying this and trying this over and over again, with the same script, to no avail. At one point I actually did get it to import a single category, but I saw the comments still said zero and assumed the comments weren't brought over. I gave up.
Your SQL statements are the saving grace. Absolutely brilliant and, as I really am clueless about databases, very necessary.
Thank you!
I've brought over most everything and if you goto the categories or the archives you'll see it's a lot. I will have to go through most everything and find broken picture links, hard-linked references to posts on the old site, and fix a few categories. It will be fun to read all the old material while I'm cleaning house. Feel free to browse!3 Comments | Catergorized: friends geek site
Think of Terrorists as Pirates
Terrorists, like pirates, must be given their proper status in law: hostis humani generis, enemies of the human race.I've always said you can't fight a traditional war against pirates. Wars happen between nations. Terrorists are criminals and should be pursued as such. The problem is that too many nations out there view terrorists as a convenient tool for short term goals. Even the USA is guilty of this, funding Al Qaeda in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion.
– Douglas R. Burgess Jr.
I'm no lawyer, so I have no background to unravel how to legally define terrorism as a criminal act on a universal basis. Fortunately Douglas R. Burgess Jr. has the required background and has written a brilliant article called The Dread Pirate Bin Laden.
More than 2,000 years ago, Marcus Tullius Cicero defined pirates in Roman law as hostis humani generis, "enemies of the human race." From that day until now, pirates have held a unique status in the law as international criminals subject to universal jurisdiction—meaning that they may be captured wherever they are found, by any person who finds them. The ongoing war against pirates is the only known example of state vs. nonstate conflict until the advent of the war on terror, and its history is long and notable. More important, there are enormous potential benefits of applying this legal definition to contemporary terrorism.
The article is long but engaging, giving a history of piracy in the context of nations supporting it, then universally declaring it illegal. A legal framework is tentatively proposed for equating terrorists with pirates with historical examples to give precedents to the idea.
To understand the potential of defining terrorism as a species of piracy, consider the words of the 16th-century jurist Alberico Gentili's De jure belli: "Pirates are common enemies, and they are attacked with impunity by all, because they are without the pale of the law. They are scorners of the law of nations; hence they find no protection in that law." Gentili, and many people who came after him, recognized piracy as a threat, not merely to the state but to the idea of statehood itself. All states were equally obligated to stamp out this menace, whether or not they had been a victim of piracy.
As Mr. Burgess concludes in the article, "Terrorists, like pirates, must be given their proper status in law: hostis humani generis, enemies of the human race." I couldn't agree more, and I agree with and support the idea that terrorism, like piracy, is a criminal activity.Comments Off on Think of Terrorists as Pirates | Catergorized: political thoughts
Terms of Service Musical Chairs *
You know what would be a complete "fsck you" to all these companies that offer terms of service that are utterly (or even mildly) unacceptable? If when they accepted your money (a legal contract) they found themselves unconditionally accepting your terms of service the moment they take your money as their own. Lawyers change contracts all the time simply by crossing out, initialing and dating something they don't like… Imagine the possibilities!
You could get rid of the DRM from purchased songs from iTunes if Apple accepts your ninety nine cents… Legally!
Amazon.com couldn't say or do anything to you for using the videos you purchase from their new "Unbox" service (and read more about that here). Burn them to DVD! Charge for viewing!
Microsoft could cry all the way to the bank (because they would have to pay you!) for hacking their new Zune (warning: irritating Flash site) to be compatible with your iTunes store purchases or even simple Creative Commons songs.
The Federal Government might actually have to be responsible when they accept money from you in the form of taxes. No more "discretionary" spending you don't like! Accountability!
The possibilities are endless! So when will a software patented and trademarked methodology be implemented that forces corporations to accept my terms of service and use when they accept my cash? (PS: I get 33% of any sales of said idea, right?)

The Bay Area Is (Not) Talking
In June, 2005 I went to an event hosted by KRON inviting Bay Area bloggers to talk to them about blogging and how they could get involved. It was a pretty good event, even if I only knew Uncle Roger (met him in person that day!) and didn't much enjoy the blogger posturing I saw everywhere.
There was a promise then to build out a website that would do a couple things. It would blog about things going on in the Bay Area. It would have an aggregator of other Bay Area blogs. It would have a page with an index (blogroll, sort of) of bloggers in the Bay Area. I thought this was a brilliant idea, and I jumped on board.
The site was built and called The Bay Area is Talking. As promised, it's main content was a blog, the aggregator is there on the side, and index (Hey! I just noticed I'm not there anymore!). Unfortunately, before too long the primary mover in this effort (on the part of KRON) became overwhelmed with other things. Brian Shields is this man and he did a pretty decent job of keeping things up and posting articles. To make up for this he invited other Bay Area bloggers to fill in the gap. Then those guys trickled and fizzled out.
I always hated the aggregator, partly because there was nothing there I was interested in and partly because the small bloggers were never there (can anyone say clique?), but I did love the idea of the site.
What happened? Loss of interest? Lack of support from KRON? Lack of feedback that disheartened those who built and ran the site? Well, regardless of what did or didn't happen, I bid it a fond farewell until I hear they are back on and living. *sigh*5 Comments | Catergorized: geek san francisco thoughts
Increasing Volume
I love watching videos online, but one of the things that posses me off is too often the volume is too low. On my laptop that usually means dialogue is lost. Very irritating.
So here's a tip if you run into any embedded Quicktime on a website. Click on the volume and you'll see it maxed out. Now hold the Shift key down and click on the volume. You'll see you can raise the volume 200%! Awesome!Comments Off on Increasing Volume | Catergorized: apple
Keith Olbermann is Mad
And I can't say I blame him. He's mad about a big, gaping wound still sitting in lower Manhattan and castigates the President in this commentary.I'd avoided most of the 9/11 speeches, memorials and made-for-television specials. I have no stomach for it. I don't need to be reminded because I haven't forgotten. I still remember watching the TV that morning, worrying that maybe my Dad had a meeting had a meeting in the Pentagon, not being able to reach my family on the phone because communications were swamped.I remember the desperation, the anger, the unity. I don't need the reminders. But, like Mr. Olbermann, I think this President does. He just won't listen. I doubt it's because he doesn't care, it's just a matter of what he cares about. I don't think he really cares about America, and that makes me sad because too many Americans have bought into his words and not his actions.1 Comment | Catergorized: grrr memories political
iTunes 7 Released
At long last Apple released iTunes 7 today. I've been playing around with some of the basics today. I'm not sure what I think about the new interface. I don't mind the little icons (though the spacing could be closer), though on my laptop I've gotten rid of the Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and Radio bits.
One of the things I do think is pretty cool is the ability to download album art if the Music Store has it. Of course you have to have an account (no surprise there). To get the artwork… Click on the middle View button next to the Search box at the top. For convenience I organized my Library by album. Right click (cntrl-click) on where the album art should appear and at the bottom of the popup menu you'll see Get Album Artwork.
I found that sometimes the artwork would not download on the first try. If I was confident the artwork should exist in the Music Store I would try the download process a couple times. Usually I the artwork appeared on the second or third try. I was pretty impressed when My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult appeared.
I only had one glaring mistake, which was a Supertramp album cover appearing on the Magnolia soundtrack. I'm not sure how that happened since I would expect there to be a check not just for song structure but for actual album title. Weird. I tried getting rid of the cover (appears in the menu if you've got artwork attached to songs). It didn't seem to work.
Still, I'm impressed with that feature alone and I'm sure I'll find other items as I start digging around. Overall it seems to be a pretty good upgrade. Too bad I'm absolutely uninterested in the movie download function (from anyone's service, really). Has anyone else tried the new iTunes?17 Comments | Catergorized: apple audio geek

Being the subject of controversy is nothing strange to female dancehall sensation, Cynthia Morgan.
She shared new photos on her Instagram page and in one of them she posed with a child (her baby cousin) while puffing on a cigar.
The release of the photo is a build up to the release of her new single with a theme that has to do with 'babymama'.
Unsurprisingly, the photo has pitched her die hard fans against her critics both of whom have taken to her instagram page.
In time past, heavily endowed Cynthia Morgan has teased fans with photos baring her cleavage among other random photos.

FORTUNE -- Thought physical media was dying? Sony and Panasonic think otherwise.
Earlier this week, both tech companies announced an agreement to develop an advanced optical disc due in 2015 capable of storing over 300 gigabytes (GB) worth of data, according to The Wall Street Journal -- five times the amount Blu-ray discs can currently hold. Their rationale: as television technology migrates from the current 1080p picture quality standard to 4K -- images with roughly quadruple the number of pixels onscreen -- this kind of higher-definition content translates to larger files and demands, the case of physical media, much more space.
Doing so behooves Sony (sne) and Panasonic (pcrfy). Popularizing yet another disc format could in turn spur sales of next-gen disc players from the two companies. That would be a boon in Sony's case, at least, given its electronics division continues to lose money.
MORE: Obama should overturn an ITC import ban on Apple phones
But will consumers want it? Proponents will argue "Yes, of course." And they'll point to Blu-ray sales as Exhibit A. While DVD sales tumble, sales of Blu-ray discs are rising. In fact, Blu-ray revenues jumped 28.5% year-over-year in the first quarter 2013, likely due to a combination of a growing content catalog and lower prices. Surely, that's a sign in Sony and Panasonic's favor, no?
In the short-to-medium term, sure. But as many have already figured out anecdotally, content downloading and streaming appears inevitable. As Kleiner Perkins partner Mary Meeker pointed out in a recent report, the number of global Internet users climbed 8% to 2.4 billion between 2008 and 2012 -- a figure that will only grow. Spending on digital distribution spiked 26% during the first quarter of 2013 compared with the time time last year. (Meanwhile, overall sales for packaged media, including DVDs, declined 10% last year.) And with content-streaming companies like Netflix (nflx) continually adding subscribers, it's obvious the long-term involves more and more people cozying up to Roku boxes, Apple TVs and Internet-ready television sets than next-gen optical discs with ever-rising storage limits.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo fell to Lee 3-2 in a tight contest Friday night to open the three-game baseball series between the Lions and Flames at Thomas B. Southard Stadium.
Saint Leo (2-2) held a 2-1 lead heading to the top of the seventh inning before Lee's (4-1) Geremy Walton hit a two-run homer, his second home run of the day, to left field pushing the Flames ahead of the Lions 3-2.
Derek Gibree started the day off on fire with back-to-back singles in his first two plate appearances, coming around to score in the bottom of the third for the Lions' second run of the game. Dylan Harris and Brett Coffel went 2-for-4 from the plate, with one double and a single; Coffel scored the Lions' first run in the third inning. Chase Turner would be credited with the Lions lone RBI of the night when he reached on a fielder's choice scoring Coffel.
On the mound, Oscar Gordillo pitched 6.2 innings allowing eight hits, three runs, and one walk, while striking out eight of the 29 batters faced. Dan Twitty came in for relief in the middle of the seventh to pitch 2.1 innings allowing just two hits with one walk while striking out four of 10 batters faced.
The Lions would get runners in scoring position in the bottom of the sixth but failed to cross the plate as Coffel was waved around third, with one out, on a ball through the right side. Saint Leo would get one base runner in the final three innings of the game.
In the bottom of the ninth, trailing 3-2, Coffel started the inning off with a deep fly ball to right field but would be retired by Lee's Zack Zyburt. Stepping to the plate next was Lane Stancil who emptied the dugout as he lifted one to left field, but the Flames' Spencer Mossburg caught the ball at the warning track to give the Lions two outs. In a pinch hit appearance, A.J. Rainaldi would strike out swinging to retire the side and end the game.
For Lee, Geremy Walton went 3-for-4 from the plate with two runs scored, three RBI, one walk and a strikeout while hitting two home runs on the night. Nathan Wierzgac finished the night 3-for-4 as well. Jay Prior, who entered in the middle of the sixth, picked up his first win of the year after pitching 2.1 innings with one hit. Kit Larson entered in the bottom of the ninth and earned the save, retiring the side in order with one strikeout.
Saint Leo and Lee will face off tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 11 with a doubleheader at 1:00 p.m. at Thomas B. Southard Stadium.

A FARMER has spoken of the devastation caused to her farm after an illegal rave took place near Warminster at the weekend.
Jane Harley, of Valley Farm in Chitterne, revealed how 25 cattle escaped from a field after revellers broke down a 4ft fence and how she had to stay up all night along with two employees and two friends to try and protect her land as around 500 partygoers passed through it.
Police were made aware of the free party at around 12.30am on Sunday morning after the farm's foreman spotted people setting equipment up at Quebec Farm, owned by the MOD, near to Valley Farm, but they did not have enough resources to shut it down immediately so allowed it continue until 7am.
Mrs Harley said: "Hundreds of people, most of whom already off their faces, parked in the village and followed the music – taking them on a two-mile route through the farm.
"Cattle are kept all over the farm behind electric fencing and we were worried about them escaping out onto Salisbury Plain – if they get out there they could very easily get lost.
"Then, as we feared, the sheer number of people climbing over one of the big fences meant it fell down and Aberdeen Angus cattle escaped. Thankfully we managed to retrieve all of them but it could have been far worse if we weren't there. It was a nightmare.
"We directed people down the road which led to the event and some people were compliant, but most didn't care and trampled through the farm anyway."
Mrs Harley said the sleepless night will set her back by about £1,000 as the fence had to be repaired by two workmen on Tuesday and her two employees will have to be paid overtime.
On top of that, she and her tireless helpers got no sleep ahead of working the next day and she is still clearing up a vast amount of litter left behind including broken glass, bottles and laughing gas canisters.
This site has been popular for illegal raves in recent years and Mrs Harley is urging revellers to think about people's livelihood and well-being in the future.
"People just think they're having harmless fun at these events but that isn't the case; the traffic, noise and damage caused to land has a hugely detrimental impact," she added.
"We're not trying to prevent people from having fun, we just want them to think about others a bit before doing so.
"It is possible to get to these events without damaging people's property and the music doesn't have to be so loud."

There is this girl I like we both are 18, and we both really like each other, but she is stuck on her ex that she only dated for 1 month about 1 years ago. She broke up with him cuz he kept trying to have sex, but she didn't want to. She hasn't seen him for about a year also, I don't know why she can't let go. I've never heard of someone who has kept feelings for so long with someone they've barely known for a month, and haven't seen or talked to in about a 1 year
How can a girl be stuck on her ex for 1 year, if they only dated for 1 month?

Green Mile Actor Marries
June 21, 2011 by Post Team
Green Mile Actor Marries, Actor Doug Hutchison, who is best known for his role as Percy Wetmore corrections officer in the movie "The Green Mile," has married his 16-year-old girlfriend in Las Vegas, said Monday. A brief update on the website showed a photo Hutchison wedding and said the couple were married May 20 at noon local time in the Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas. "Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison live happily installed in their Hollywood Hills [California] home with their young lil ', Everette and tuna!" the statement said.
The news that Hutchison, 51, married Courtney Alexis Stodden, 16, led to a firestorm of criticism online, because of their age difference, although it is legal. "We realize that our age difference is extremely huge controversy," the couple said in a statement E! Online. "But we are very much in love and want to get the message that true love can last forever."
Hutchison is best known for his role as Percy Wetmore corrections officer in the popular 1996 movie 'The Green Mile. "Is also known as Eugene Victor Tooms on The X-Files," as Horace Goodspeed in' Lost 'and '24 as in Davros.
Stodden was once Miss Teen USA contestant Washington 2010, but lost the race to 17-year-old Camilla Cyr. She is also a self-described "next recording artist who writes her own music" and a model and a dancer.
Some wondered if the marriage was legal because of the age Stodden, but the Nevada state law allows youth under 18 to marry with parental consent. "We are totally in favor of this marriage," said Courtney's mother Krista Stodden Radar Online, confirming that at least one parent had to sign the permission form for the marriage takes place.
In a YouTube video uploaded by Stodden in December 2010, describes he as a Christian girl and said he wanted to have sex until married. "About myself, I am a Christian girl. I have my faith very well, and I am a virgin and I remain so until I'm married," he said.
Although the age of majority in California, where they will live, is 18, this does not apply when the minor is legally married in any U.S. state.

"Typically polite and helpful staff at the Archway Centre, but a few issues"
About: Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Adult mental health Lincoln LN4 2HN
Posted by bianora1 (as ),
I was advised by my GP to self-refer myself to this NHS establishment - as I didn't feel starting anti-depressant medication would fix the long term problem/issues I had, and personally felt counselling would be more appropriate to my needs.
The staff are typically very polite, I easily filled out the self-referral form and handed it in straight away - the staff explained the process, which I accepted and went on my way. However, when the first telephone appointment came about, I was sat by my phone waiting for them to call and received nothing. I left it at least an hour, by which point I called and wondered if something was up. I was told someone had tried to call me but it kept going straight to answerphone - that's fine I said, we'll just have to try again. I was told initially that the person contacting me would try 3 times in a 15 minute time frame and then would close my case if I didn't answer, therefore I took that opportunity to say that I get a VERY poor signal coverage at my home and my landline doesn't accept anonymous calls (to which I offered to be the one to call them on my appointment time - where I was told 'no'). When I called the centre, they said my case had been closed because I didn't pick up the phone and that I would need re-referring. Although I wasn't happy with this system, I obliged and filled in another self-referral form (even though we should be saving paper, they could have just used the same one and put a new date on it as no signature is required! ).
My second appointment came around, but no call came so I called up the centre to make sure I had the correct day! When I gave my details to the staff on the phone, they asked who my appointment was with and I said, "I don't actually know, this is the second appointment I've booked but I've never been told who it is that will be calling me. " To which they responded saying that they always tell people who their appointment is with, otherwise it is a waste of their time when people come in and don't know who they're seeing. The person put my call on hold before I had chance to reply. When we got to the point of my appointment day, the person on the phone told me a different time to what I'd originally been told (however it was the right day) - and by this point they'd already got my back up with their first comment, so I said I'd been told this time and not that time, so had arranged my work lunch break around the appointment (as it's difficult for me to get out of work). To which they replied saying that it was in the book for this time with this person and they only tell people what time it says in the book, and that I couldn't go eating into someone else's appointment time. At this point I was getting annoyed because everything seemed to be my fault and couldn't possibly be theirs - not just the fact that they seemed to be under the impression that I wanted to take up another patients appointment time (not the case! ).
I had said to the person on the phone that I didn't care what was in the book, that I was told a different time and that I had to be back in work shortly, and I was then told that if I couldn't keep the appointment I would be discharged again. This person continued to argue with me, as I had also repeated that on both the appointments I've had, nobody had informed me of who the appointment was with - just the times and days - and the person still felt it necessary to argue with me.
Although the staff have been polite and friendly on all occasions, except this person, I am disgusted with the fact that someone in this industry thinks it's okay to continuously argue with a patient instead of trying to find a resolution. Just because the patients are depressed/stressed, etc doesn't mean that they are weak and incapable of knowing their appointment time and who it's with - lesson to be learned, not all patients are push overs! Patient's aren't always right and yes they are capable of making mistakes, but so are members of staff.
My second issue is with the system, not everyone that want to use this service are on the dole (not that that should matter! ) so a bit of understanding and sympathy towards the fact that people are working wouldn't go amiss. Not everyone wants to and can afford to take time off work.
How hard is it for someone to have a face-to-face counselling appointment? I can understand the need to put someone with an appropriate counselor, but really? Closing their case when the centre had been told on several occasions that the patient has major issues with both mobile and landline?! How hard would it really have been for me to ring the centre and save all this hassle?
I also work for the NHS and sometimes get patients debating their appointment times with me, but I always try to find a resolution when I am on that side of the counter! It made me feel like I was insignificant and 2ft tall...
Response from Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust 4 years ago
It is very disappointing to read the experiences described when self-referring to our IAPT service in Lincoln. Self-referral is a new process for IAPT and as with any new process sometimes there are initial problems, however the experience described is completely unacceptable and we would like to offer our sincere apologies and an assurance that this matter will be taken seriously to prevent this from happening in the future.
Lincoln IAPT service does operate an out of hours service and offers appointments up to 19.00 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week to accommodate those people referred who are at work during the day. There are processes in place to address the problem of home phone numbers not accepting unknown numbers which do not appear to have been followed in this case.
In order to ensure this is thoroughly investigated we would appreciate if this person could contact Joanne Taylor, Head of Service, Community, directly on 01522 526827 to discuss this further.

So when I put my makeup on I use liquid base and then liquid concealer. Then I let it dry for a few minutes, then I apply a lighter shade of powder to set it. Then I use the powder and bronzer to blend my neck with my face. Well my makeup rubs off too easily. I'm afraid to wear shirts that touch my neck in any way of jackets that are cute for the fact I don't want makeup on it. and it rubs off if my face touches someones clothes like during a hug. Any makeup suggestions that don't rub off, or any advice in general ?

LDL and HDL
LDL and HDL are commonly confused for cholesterol. They are actually lipoproteins. LDL is considered the "bad" lipoprotein. It carries the cholesterol to the arteries so it can be used in the cells. HDL is known as the "good" lipoprotein. This lipoprotein helps remove the cholesterol that LDL put there in the arteries. It is then taken to the liver to be broken down passed out of the body.
LDL and HDL structure
LDL is a lot larger than HDL. LDL has a lot more cholesterol on the membrane than HDL, and HDL has more proteins than LDL does.
Other Molecules Monitored in the Blood
Many other molecules are monitored in the blood stream other than LDL and HDL. Some of them are, glucose, electrolytes, and hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the enzyme that carries oxygen on your red blood cells.
Why Doctors should Monitor LDL and HDL
Too much of the LDL lipoprotein can cause blocked arteries, and can prevent blow flow to the lungs. Studies have shown that low levels of HDL may increase your chances of heart disease.
Association With Heart Diseases
If the arteries get too clogged from LDL, then it can also cause a stroke, or heart attack. But, high levels of HDL in your body may prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Results of a Cholesterol Test
A cholesterol test measures the levels of HDL and cholesterol and LDL in your bloodstream, and can predict your lifespan or 10 year risk of heart attack or stroke.
How to Maintain Healthy HDL and LDL Levels
Eating a healthy diet and exercising will help keep the levels at a healthy state. Also many medications can help with maintaining the perfect levels. Like Statin. This medicine helps lower the level of LDL in your bloodstream.
Effects Of Eating Unsaturated Fats On Your Overall Health
The "good" type of fat, unsaturated fats, can help improve your cholesterol levels which can decrease your chances in cardiovascular diseases. Also, polyunsaturated fats include many fats and oils that your body needs. Eating the right amount of these fats can help protect against irregular heartbeats, and type 2 diabetes.
Effects Of Eating Saturated Fats On Your Overall Health
This type of fat may increase the level of LDL in your body, which may lead to plaque buildup in your arteries. Although you need some of these fats, too much can cause diseases and disorders like diabetes and other heart diseases.
Effects Of Eating Trans Fats On Your Overall Health
This is considered the most unhealthy type of fat. It can increase the level of LDL and decrease the levels of HDL in your body. Consuming too much trans fats can increase inflammation in your body, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases.
Normal Levels Of LDL And HDL
The normal level for HDL should be anywhere above 60 mg/dL. Your overall total fat level should be around 180 mg/dL. The LDL level should anywhere less than 100 mg/dL.

- As a general rule, a turkey needs to cook for 12 to 14 minutes per pound of weight.[4]
- If you store the turkey in the freezer, defrost it in the refrigerator for two to three days prior to cooking.[7]

Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Review by PhantasyHUmar
"A terrific sequel and a terrific game in it's own right."
Now, everyone knows that sequels are always harder than the original. If the sequel is the same thing, it's not good, because it's nothing new. So, a lot of game companies go in a completely different direction and end up changing the entire game. (A good example of this is the Jak and Daxter series. Jak 2 was such a different game from the original, it barely felt like a sequel.) Disgaea 2 is Nippon Ichi's first sequel, and I can faithfully say they did it well.
Gameplay - 10/10
Gameplay is what makes the game what it is, so we'll start here. The gameplay in Disgaea 2 is wonderful. They scrapped the free-movement system seen in Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom, and brought back the grid, and I welcome it. The grid brings the gameplay together well. It makes lining up attacks easier, it looks and feels cleaner, and it makes moving around simpler. Most of the gameplay, in fact, feels like Disgaea. Still, there are enough changes to merit the 50 dollar price tag. One of the changes I love is in the Dark Assembly. They gave it a pretty decent overhaul, and gave it more details, without making it so intricate you stray away in fear. You get mana the same way you did in Disgaea, and you pass bills similarly. They upgraded the voting system, though. Apart from just bribing and having them vote, you can use different strategies, from calling senators up before the voting to sway their votes or having them be drunk or asleep. Drunkenness makes them lose focus and not always vote how they would, (someone with "Total Opposition" may vote "Aye," despite their hatred of you) while sleeping senator's votes aren't counted. Apart from the voting, you can pass bills to unlock classes, and even have the main character, Adell, become a senator himself. The battles play out similarly, but there are more classes, skills, geo effects, etc. The stats can still reach absurdly high numbers and you can still level up items. Specialists have new varieties, including multiple-stat specialists, such as the "sniper" (ATK and HIT). There seem to be more levels, and there's even a new world of sorts, changing all the levels to make them even more challenging. There's so much to name, but I don't want to risk an even bigger wall of text, so just keep in mind that this isn't even everything.
Story - 8/10
The story's premise is that your world's humans have been changed into demons by an Overlord named "Zenon." When your mother attempts to summon him, his daughter is mistakenly summoned. Your character, Adell, promises to take her to her father (and says he will destroy him), but she has other plans. She's luring him into a trap to kill him. After a ton of sentimental stuff, she starts forming a conscience and then the story takes a ton of twists. It's good, and it's got a good amount of jokes, so you should enjoy it. Also, it doesn't follow up the original Disgaea in a way that you need to have played it to understand the story, so even people new to the series can understand and enjoy the story.
Graphics - 9/10
The graphics in the game are sprite-based, despite being a 3D game, similarly to other Nippon Ichi games. The sprites seem the be crisper and more well done than in previous games. They also have beautiful CG mugshots and still images for conversations, etc. However, if you feel 3D models effect gameplay in some way, this game isn't for you. If you have an open mind, you should enjoy the graphics, they are well done.
Sound - 9/10
Not all that much to say here. There are some good songs, the sounds seem to fit and the voice acting, for the most part, won't make your ears bleed, not even english dubbed version. (No Canary here :D)
Replayability 11/10
Considering I still play Disgaea and I got it in early '04, I can tell you for sure these games have terrific replay value. There's never a point where you're 'done,' so you can just keep going, unless you manage to get bored. If power-levelling isn't your thing then maybe you won't get two years out of the game, but at the very least, 125 hours.
Overall, Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is both a terrific sequel for veteran Disgaea players and a great game for new players, and the game has no dependence on you having played the first game. It has great gameplay, graphics, a good storyline, and it'll keep you busy for quite a while. I give the game a 9/10

Sony has recently announced the DEV-50 Digital Recording Binocular, a binocular-camera hybrid capable of recording 3D video in Full HD, capturing 20.4MP stills and outputting native-resolution images via its micro-HDMI port.
This video discusses night-vision videography and takes a look at two cameras, Sony's HXR-NX70U and HDR-PJ760V, both of which have built-in infrared modes. You'll learn the basics of working with infrared light and how to improve your night-vision videos with special, infrared light kits, like the Sima SL-100IR and the Litepanels MiniPlus IR.
Woe to those who haven't been awed by the impact of peering through a good binocular. And double-woe to those who aren't aware of the fact a good—make that a terrific binocular—need not set you back a king's ransom.
In the world of birders, hunters and target shooters, spotting scopes have long been the tools of choice whether one is trying to determine if the Sulawesi Red-Knobbed Hornbill you spotted is a male or female—without spooking it—or as a means of avoiding gunshot wounds while eyeballing the accuracy of the holes you just punched through your target.
Picture this if you will: you're on an expedition funded by the National Geographic Society to confirm recent sightings of the supposedly extinct Ivory-Billed Woodpecker along the Choctawhatchee River in Florida's panhandle.
Swarovski Optik has just announced two new CL Companion binoculars, a 10x model and an 8x model. Designed for crisp imagery in a lightweight and highly portable package, the CL Companion binoculars easily find the mark.
Enough about Angry Birds already! Real birds don't strap themselves into slingshots, as any birdwatcher, a.k.a. birder, will tell you. They know because they observe the chirpy critters in the wild or in urban parks. They spy on flocks through binoculars. They snap pictures; they take notes. High-tech birders can think of better uses for their mobile screens than playing games.
If you shoot stills or video with optics 500mm and longer you already know the pluses and minuses of taking pictures with narrow angle-of-view (AOV) optics. They range from the 'wow' factor to the 'this thing is far too heavy to schlep around all day' factor.

Celine Dion's brother Daniel dies just days after her husband
Daniel Dion, the older brother of pop singer Celine Dion, died on Saturday, just two days after the death of the entertainer's husband, Rene Angelil, from throat cancer.
Celine Dion's representative Kim Jakwerth released a statement that Daniel Dion, 59, died on Saturday surrounded by his family after battling cancer for several years. The statement said he died at a palliative care centre in Terrebonne, Quebec, outside Montreal.
His death was announced just two days after the 73-year-old Angelil died in suburban Las Vegas after a long battle with throat cancer. Angelil was Celine Dion's manager for decades, molding her from a French-speaking Canadian ingenue into one of the world's most successful singers, best known for the smash hit My Heart Will Go On,' the theme from Titanic.
The family is "remembering a gentle and reserved man of many talents", the statement said.

Another tragedy for @celinedion this week as she loses her brother to cancer. https://t.co/IkW5ncjam1 pic.twitter.com/mCbcJTBAJi— CNN (@CNN) January 16, 2016
Daniel Dion, the father of two daughters, was the eighth of 14 Dion children. The Dion siblings, including Celine, performed at their parents' small piano bar called Le Vieux Baril ("The Old Barrel") in the town of Charlemagne, Quebec.
Viewing will take place next Saturday, a day after Angelil's funeral is set to take place at Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica, the same church where he married the singer in 1994.
Daniel Dion's religious funeral will be held several days later at a church in the family's hometown of Charlemagne.

Sahara is all set to launch its movie channel or as the Business Head of the channel, Ashutosh, puts it, 'filmi' channel. The 24-hour channel called 'Sahara One Filmi,' comprising of Hindi movies in its core programming, is to be launched on August 1, 2005.
Ashutosh said, "The channel will be all about movies. There just wouldn't be good titles on the channel but we will also have a two-hour original programming block on the channel, which would be film-based shows and this is for starters. This can even increase going forward."
This original programming block would include in-house shows and outsourced shows as well. Ashutosh said, "We are very clear that we want to bring in relevance in the content - whether it is in regard to choose a title or the other shows on the channel. We are looking at properties like Premiers and Film scoops that will draw the viewer to the channel."
Does the group feel that there are too many movie channels on the anvil? "Movie channels are doing better than general entertainment channels," replied Ashutosh, "Over the years, it is the Hindi movie channel business that has delivered better than the mass entertainment channels."
He said that most details of the channel are in place and a programming head would be finalised soon. In the present scene, Ashutosh is directly working with Percept Head Shailendra Singh and Peter Isaac.

Sig ACP
Why is the stocked version "LE only"?
when you put a stock on it it turns into a nfa firearm. short barreled rifle. you would have to get the atf to approve that and i doubt they will since you would have to register the pistol frame itself as a sbr.
you could register a pistol as a sbr and possibly tie it to that particular stock and talk to sig about selling you one. lots of hoops to leap through.
I dont see how the device itself is NFA restricted since its not a firearm. I could maybe see it being illegal to put on a pistol without proper paperwork, but still...
For example. Say I have a draco pistol. I can legally buy a regular AK stock no problem. The issue is whether or not I put it on the draco.
It is called "constructive possession". You have a firearm + a part that will make it into an NFA item. Just because you don't actually have it installed at that time, you have both parts.
AR-15 rifle and a separate 14" barrel in the safe - go to jail
Draco pistol and a separate AK stock - go to jail
Remington 870 and a separate 12" barrel - go to jail
Eliminates the semantical arguement that you had no intention of breaking the law. You already broke it.
IDK, that seems like a bunch of hokey BS to me. By that logic, having a degree in network security and owning a computer would have you in prison for conspiracy to hack the pentagon. It just doesn't add up.
You may not like it, but it is fact.
3 Attachment(s)
It's actually very simple. You order the stock you want for your "project" gun (do you already own the pistol?) and have it shipped to a second address, like a relative or friend, to avoid any potential problems with the law. You complete BATF form 1 and the other necessary paperwork for your class III stamp, send in the $200 stamp tax fee and wait until the paperwork is returned which takes 4-6 months these days. When the stamp is in your possession, install the stock and you're ready to go. BTW, the thing that makes the pistol into an SBR is the addition of the butt stock. If you order the complete kit for the SIG, the only thing you CAN'T install W/O the stamp is the stock. You may want to consider ordering the basic or advanced kit (w/o the stock) and you wont need the ATF stamp. BTW, this was taken directly from the page in the OP link listed above:ACP-LE - This National Firearms Act-regulated military/law enforcement only model features the really neat top- folding shoulder stock. It is this stock that makes the platform a NFA Class III item and any civilian purchasers have to follow all the same requirements for registering a short-barreled rifle or SBR with the BATFE.. Your biggest problem may simply getting one of the LE models or the rear stock by itself. I ran into a similar problem with a gun I wanted to get a few years ago.
FWIW, I got my Class III stamp back in December for a SBR project I was working on so I've been through the process myself. I was originally interested in a Kel-Tec SU-16D, which is restricted since it's classified as a SBR. However, I couldn't get one from K-T directly and the local dealers wouldn't touch it since I'm not in law enforcement or security and that's who the gun is marketed to. Finally, after checking around and doing some research I took my Kel-Tec PLR-16 I've owned for about 5 years - it's been my avatar here since '07 - and ordered from K-T a folding stock from a Kel-Tec SU-16C rifle. You can see the evolution of the gun - from left to right - in the three photo's here. Essentially, in a round about way I made my own SU-16D, which is what's actually shown in the final picture. What worked out well for me was that everything I added to my original pistol is factory designed, built and sold direct from K-T so there was no fitting or modification required. Even better was that even with buying all the parts separately, I actually saved about $200 over the cost of a new 16D which covered the cost of the stamp! Also, I can now use the folding stock, the original pistol grip, a vertical grip for the front or any combination of them at will because my gun is now a rifle. You know, I just may add a suppressor as icing on the cake for my little project gun some time in the future, but that is something for another day... and when I don't need the tax return for something else.

Personalized necklaces make thoughtful gifts and unique accessories but professional engraving can be expensive. Engraving jewelry yourself creates funky, personalized pieces. Pick up a silver pendant in a second hand store and buy a hand engraver ($30-$120) to make elegant jewelry.
Things You'll Need
- Rotating clamp
- Silver pendant
- Hand engraving tool
- Pencil
- Cloth
- Ammonia-water mixture
Sketch the engraving design with pencil onto the silver pendant on the side you want to engrave.
Clamp the pendant with the rotating clamp so it doesn't move out of place when engraving.
Put on goggles and plug in the hand engraving tool.
Trace the pencil design with the hand engraving tool to chisel the design out of the metal.
Unclamp the pendant. Brush it with a towel to clear off any metal dust. Wipe down the pendant with an ammonia and water mixture to clean and shine.

"If you enjoy photography, this is a great experience!"
Experience 5/5
We spent ~3 hours with Rudy for his private photowalk around Antigua.
You get to choose on what you'd like to focus on (street photography vs general photography)
He starts you off with a 15-20 minute presentation on what you'll focus on (composition, subject matter, lighting, etc), and then you put it into practice. Even if you're familiar with photography, reviewing these with another person helps remind you of the basics.
You'll learn traveler tricks for getting into places that you didn't know were available, you'll visit multiple photogenic locations around Antigua, and more importantly, he'll help guide you and critique you to take better photos overall.
Value 5/5
As a hobbyist photographer, I thought the price we paid was fair for his time, as it was both a photography lesson and city walk throughout Antigua. I think it would be best scheduled EARLY on into your trip so you can take what you've learned and apply it throughout your vacation.
Difficulty 1/5
Rudy was easygoing, spoke great English, and was very accommodating to both new and experienced photographers. The walk around town was not difficulty at all, obviously Antigua is cobblestone streets only so you just have to watch where you are going, as well as the street/vehicle traffic.
I would recommend Rudy's Photowalks and would do it again in a heartbeat.eartbeat.
—Mark, Dallas, Texas
"Must do activity in Antigua!"
I was in Antigua only for a day and a half recently, and am so glad I chose to invest 3 hours of that time in a private photo walk with Rudy. Rudy is really passionate about photography and about sharing his knowledge with others. The short presentation at the beginning of the walk was an eye opener for me, and had me itching to put some of those basic principles in practice right away. I quickly went from being someone who always uses a point-and-shoot camera in "Auto" mode to being able to understand the technicalities of aperture, exposure, shutter speed, etc. and becoming comfortable with changing settings to shoot various scenarios. Rudy's pleasing personality and a guided walk of some of Antigua's secret spots was an added bonus. Highly recommend!
—Jasmime, San Francisco, California
Best day so far in Antigua
Rudy's photowalk was fabulous. He set the stage beforehand with some great tips and advice, then challeged us to use the principles in the community. We were taken to some amazing places that we never would have found on our own. The information, stories and history were a lovely addition as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see another side of Antigua, especially if you want to improve the memories you take home.
—Liz, Calgary, Canada
Here are some of the things you can/will learn at the Antigua Photo Walks:
- Photography basics (if needed, for beginners)
- The best locations and times to photograph iconic buildings and landmarks, plus interesting trivia
- The best locations for photographing people and tips, tricks, and techniques
- All the tricks for capturing street photography close-up candid portraits
- Capturing gesture, expression, and emotion and telling stories with your images
- Street portraiture tips and tricks
- Camera settings and focusing techniques
- And, of course, the shared knowledge is tailored to your skill level, what you want to see, and what you want to learn!

Models: Yuki Mori, Sledge Hammer
Dirty little asian babe, Yuki Mori in thigh high stockings, lets out her cute little tits and begins to rub her clit for the camera, when Sledge Hammer walks in completely naked and hard as a rock. Yuki looks over and sees his shaft and turns on her knees to take it in her mouth. She strokes his rod with the tip in her mouth and gets him good and slick before she lays back and spreads her legs to get a good licking. Just to make sure he's good and hard she uses her feet to stroke his shaft and then lets him go balls deep into her tight little bald cooter.
