Can someone help me decipher my dream please?
Last Thursday night I had a dream where I woke up in my exes room at about 7:30PM and all the lights were off. I got up from her bed and turned on her lamp, I immediately noticed that I was in her room. One of the main things I noticed was that her face was covered on all her pictures on the wall. Any picture that she was in, her face was covered, it was weird. I then walked out of her door and into her hallway, her face was covered in the pictures hanging out there too. I then noticed the time on the cable box, it was 7:35PM, nobody was home, and it was a weekday. This is the time her and her family normally get home, I must leave! I run down the stairs to leave through the front door and I hear a key turning in the lock. I start running back up the stairs and back into her room. I quickly decided to jump out her window, I did. After I jumped out, I woke up.

Music (Vocal)
Job Description:
A Vocal musician (or Vocalist) specializes in singing, and it's branches. If a person goes into vocal music they have a variety of different career paths. They can go into composition and compose choral music, they could become a performer and preform for large audiences- most significantly in operatic style, or even become a director and direct choirs.
Required skills:
A vocalist needs to have experience with singing and vocal music. A common way to get such experience is to preform in a choir, or other music group. They would also need to be able to read sheet music. While seemingly simple, there is a great degree of complexity. A good example would be the phrase "accel. poco al poco." Which means to sing at an increased tempo bit by bit.
Yet another very important skill for an aspiring vocalist is to be capable of using a Piano. While the capability to play a piano is unnecessary, (albeit very useful) the ability to at least find the note you need to hit is absolutely necessary.
Educational Requirements:
While not required a degree in Music is certainly helpful for pursuing career in music. There are several schools one can attend to receive a degree in Music, such as the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or the Jacobs School of Music, in Bloomington, Indiana. If one opts to not get a music degree, a High School education of Music, and experience with the necessary implements should be sufficient.A music degree takes one or two years of full-time study to receive.
A Vocal Musician makes an average of $38,752 annually as a Salary. However, it varies from as little as $12,000, to almost $100,000, so it depends largely on one's Job and Employer. When one accounts for bonuses and other additional monetary boosters, a Vocal Musician makes from $16,000 to more than $175,000.
Job Outlook:
The average Job Outlook for all occupations is an increase of approximately 11%. Musicians have an Outlook of approximately 5%, less than half of the average. Many Musicians begin in less profitable positions and get paid more as they progress in their career. at a starting level one might make about $40,000 total, and as they progress in experience they can receive upwards of $50,00 reliably.
A Vocal musician usually pursues a career down this path because of a passion for music and singing. They enjoy preforming, helping with, and leading others in music, Therefore, they decided to make a career out of their passion. Most Vocal musicians consider themselves to be highly satisfied with their chosen career path.
Some careers similar to being a vocal Musician include being an instrumental Musician and a Performing Musician. An Instrumental Musician preforms with an instrument, as opposed to their voice. A Performing Musician would preform in plays and if interested in Vocal Music, specifically in musicals.
Why This Career:
Since I was a child I have always enjoyed singing. Many of my role models were singing in one form or another. My father preformed in my Church's choir, and one of my mentors preformed in the Huntsville Men's Choir. I took many classes involved in music and it's details. As I have progressed through my life, I have taken many classes and learned many things, about many different subjects, However few have brought me as much joy as my experiences in vocal music. People always tell students "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." Most Vocal Musicians have decided to do just that.

When I Save a MOBI Book 3 Different Files Show Up...WHY?

Something I have been wondering about. I have a Kindle Fire and am looking at ways to load my books and PDF books onto my device in a neat and clean way such as manually dragging the MOBI & PDF files into the BOOKS folder and then have them show up and work in the BOOKS section on the device. Should be easy enough, right?
Instead of hunting all through the list of books in the Calibre sub folder, I figured it would be easier to create a new folder and then open Calibre and then I would go down the list and find the books I wanted to put on my Fire and use the "SAVE TO DISK" icon at the top to get the books into my folder that I just created. When I finish all I would have to do is go into that folder and select all the MOBI and PDF files I copied over and drag them into the BOOKS folder in my Kindle Fire and everything should show up fine.
Well I noticed something unusual the other day when I tried it. I copied a SINGLE MOBI book and when I went to see if it copied it correctly instead of seeing that single MOBI file I saw 2 other files for a total of 3 files copied from that single MOBI book file. One of the files was the MOBI file, another was a JPG file and the last was a file format I have never seen before and I can't remember what it is.
OK, when I do this procedure in the future do I need to copy ALL 3 files associated with that particular book file into the BOOKS folder on the Fire to get the book to appear properly when I want to read it or can I simply just drag the MOBI file into the BOOKS folder and go read it on my Fire? I guess I should've asked whether I needed all 3 of those files on my Fire in order for the book to work properly or would it work with just the MOBI file?
The default options for the "Save to disk" action are to do the following:
- Create a directory at the destination
- Put a copy of the book in the directory
- Put a copy of the cover image in the directory
- Put a copy of the OPF file in the directory
- Update the copy of the book with the latest metadata from the calibre library.
- Open the directory
All of the above are configurable. They are on the "Saving books to disk" page of the preferences. You probably want to uncheck the cover and OPF options. Also look at the save template to decide the exact file and directory names you want to use.
I can't really comment on the Kindle Fire related question as I have never seen one. But, there is a configuration you can do for the Fire. Maybe that is what is needed. To see it, when the device is connected, click the arrow next to the device button and select the "Configure" option from the menu.

Kendall Jenner might have a model figure, but she too has been blessed with the family asset. So it is expected that just like her sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kendall too has got the curves which is in the family.
Kendall shared a sexy and hot pic on Instagram which left us wanting for more.
The Los Angeles native gave a big smile and propped her figure at an angle using her hands on a lounge chair in a sunlit verandah which made her her butt curve out more.
We just can't help but the angled and curved pose of the 19-year-old supermodel. 'Cali sun,' the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star captioned the curvy pic and shared with her 22 million followers.
A day before, her half-sister, Khloe Kardashian shared a hot pic wearing a golden gown and showing major skin. KoKo showed ample cleavage and wore a dangerous slit gown which went up to her waist level.
Coming back to the derriere, Kendall is seriously flaunting her assets at times to show that she too is blessed with the curves.

ALL Access (Arts Discovery High School)
ALL Access offers free and discounted tickets to schools in the Greater Philadelphia region that might not otherwise attend professional theatre.
ALL Access is an enduring tent stake of the Theatre's work with youth, and began in 1987 as Project Discovery High School. Area businesses fully underwrote the endeavor and sponsored 21 different schools in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties to visit People's Light regularly.
In 2010, the program expanded into Arts Discovery High School. We maintained relationships with our original school partners, and cultivated new connections with cyber schools, charter schools, and home school groups in an effort to include more non-traditional students in People's Light.
The current evolution of the program, entitled ALL Access, reflects our desire to provide increased support to high-need schools as well as area middle schools (an age group that is often too old or too young for most theatre productions in the region.) In May 2016, over 1200 students in grades 4-10 attended our production of A Single Shard. Through this program, we were able to offer free tickets to all, and bus subsidies to Title I schools.
Funding for ALL Access varies from year to year. We've resolved to provide priority access will to schools with a free/reduced lunch rate of 25% or greater. Title I schools are also eligible for bus subsidies. For more information, contact us at email@example.com or 610.647.1900 x137.
Schools who do not meet the above criteria should contact Group Sales at 610-647-1900 x111 or email@example.com for additional dates and ticket discounts.
ALL Access performances for the 2016-2017 season include:

text: This is the time of year when my schedule gets crazy hectic (I'm sure you agree). I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Berlin, Germany (traveling's fun but stressful) and with the holidays right around the corner, deadlines get tighter, the calendar fills up and getting ready on the run is not out of the ordinary. Half of the battle is just being organized and for makeup junkies like us, that can be tough. But I found a little lifesaver amidst the chaos: Sonia Kashuk Completely Organized Makeup Bag ($15, target.com). It comes in three different sizes (grande, classic and petite) and looks like a chic makeup bag on the outside, but it's like having a personal organizer on the inside. The multiple-sized compartments neatly hold all of your essentials—from your cell phone and keys to makeup brushes and eyeliners. This pouch can be tossed and turned yet it still keeps everything in place. Plus, it's made of a stain-resistant material so when one of my favorite lipsticks broke in it this morning (wah!), I just wiped it down with a damp cloth and it was as good as new. A definite must-have for any girl on-the-go.

Tour 2017 unveiled: less time trialing, fewer climbs but steeper gradients
by Shane Stokes
Avoiding the most famous stage finishes of Alpe d'Huez and Mont Ventoux, the organisers of the Tour de France have opted for a course with many new climbs in the 2017 route. The parcours of the race was unveiled on Tuesday in Paris, and sees the race begin in Dusseldorf in Germany and visit Belgium and Luxembourg before reaching France on day four.
The race will visit all five of the mountain regions in France, beginning with the Vosges and Jura, then tackling the Pyrenees, the Massif Central and the Alps. There will be a total of 23 HC, first or second category climbs, compared to 25 in 2014 and 2015 and 28 in 2016. However the organisers point out the steepness of some of this year's ascents, with peak gradients ranging from 14% on the Col de Perya Taillade to 22% on the Grand Colombier.
The 2017 Tour de France totals 3516 kilometres in all, spread over 21 stages, and features a short 13.8 kilometre time trial on the opening day and a 23 kilometre solo effort on the penultimate stage. There will be just three summit finishes, namely La Planche des Belles Filles on day five, Peyragudes on stage 12 and the Col d'Izoard on stage 18. The other mountain stages will conclude on descents, designed, perhaps, to help the 2016 runner-up Romain Bardet. He is vying to become France's first winner since Bernard Hinault in 1985.
There will be a total of nine flatter stages which will appeal to rouleurs and bunch sprinters. Providing he is on form, this could give Mark Cavendish the platform to equal or beat Eddy Merckx's all time stage win record of 34 victories. Cavendish brought his tally up to 30 in 2016 when he clocked up four stage wins.
According to race organiser Christian Prudhomme, one motivation behind the route design is to dissuade what he termed a 'catenaccio' racing style. He was referring to the dominance of one squad, taken to mean Team Sky, and he hopes that the route will help to achieve this goal. He has also echoed calls for teams to drop from nine to eight riders in the 2017 race. This too is intended to make things harder to control and to increase suspense.

Update: This post has been updated on July 6, 2017. Scroll down to see the new add.
While I admittedly do not know much about The Row other than it's a fashion label launched by the Olsen twins, I do know that I really, really like their "April" Bow Satin Slides. Intendedly or not, these sandals combine three current fashion trends: 1) knotted bows on 2) flat slides embedded in 3) shiny satin fabric. It's all about laid-back comfort footwear these days and I have to admit: I like it! What I don't like though is the $795 price tag on what is basically just a thong sandal. You're cute, April, but you're not that cute! We'll talk again in the sale section.
The Row April Bow Satin Slide Sandals
($795, Barneys)
Also available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Net-A-Porter, Vestiaire Collective & The RealReal.
Sam Edelman "Dariel" Studded Bow Flat Thong Sandals
Update (07/06/2017): Discovered these almost spot-on April dupe sandals by Sam Edelman which look a lot like the real deal but have some extra studs added. Available in various colors, uppers and prints for $100.
Sam Edelman "Dariel" Studded Bow Flat Thong Sandals
($100, Amazon)
Also available at Nordstrom, Dillard's, Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdale's, Zappos, Sam Edelman, Neiman Marcus, Shoes.com & Net-A-Porter.
Kensie "Major" Bow Slide Sandals
Deal: Use promo code "SALE" to get 20% off regular and sale items at Lord & Taylor! Offer valid through July 9th, 2017 at 11:59 PM EST. Exclusions apply.
If you're not willing to wait until the real deal goes on sale, feel free to take a look at these fabulous slide sandals by Kensie. They're almost a spot-on "April" dupe but so much cheaper! I also love the added blush pink color! And who wouldn't love the price of $44.44? Add to cart, please!
Kensie "Major" Bow Slide Sandals
($44.44, Lord & Taylor)
Also available at Amazon, Francesca's, Belk, DSW, Nordstrom Rack & Bon-Ton.
GoJane Bow Em Gee Satin Slide Sandals
Still not convinced? How about these fabulous and super affordable The Row look-alikes I found at GoJane then? They have the same spot-on design, come in a variety of lovely summer colors including mint green and periwinkle blue and are currently on sale for a steal-worthy $15.84! Definite steal deal alert!
GoJane Bow Em Gee Satin Slide Sandals
($15.84, GoJane)
Also available at Nordstrom Rack.
Mango Bow Satin Sandals
And lastly, if you don't want an obvious designer knock-off, check out this satin bow slide sandal I discovered at Mango which I think is a wonderful alternative to The Row's "April" slides. These are from Mango's "Premium" collection, so the price of
$149.99 (now on sale for $79.99) is higher than we are used of Mango, but they are still more than $600 cheaper than the real deal, so there's that.
Mango Bow Satin Sandals
($79.99, Mango)
Also available at Mango (UK) & Mango (EU).

Make sure you have folders for bank statements, credit info, bill stubs, payroll check stubs, receipts, tax info, realty papers, investment papers, insurances and statements, loan agreements and any other financial papers in separate hanging folders. Further separate your tax info by year. Include returns, receipts, copies of W-2s, 1099s and other pertinent tax info. Divide the bill stubs by the companies they represent and divide realty papers by mortgage documents, home improvement receipts, second mortgages and so on.
Crucial documents like savings and certificate of deposit passbooks, car titles, stocks and yearly IRA, pension and profit-sharing statements should be kept in a safe deposit box, along with any vital records and valuables.
Make certain to keep on top of your inbox, particularly your bills that need to be paid up. Put them in a separate place where they're easily seen and handy.

reports about it. Justify your figures because a slight mistake may
ruin your business plan, or your reputation in front of the viewers.

Ceramics, in relationship to commercial art, art education and more.
I have recently been strugglin' with questions about fair use. One
thing that has piqued that interest in recent weeks has been my
discovery of barcode wikia. Go look it up...learning new markup
languages is a slow process for Netizen Lorraine. Anyway, much of my
internal ethical struggle has centered around what some term
`derivative works.' Roughly speaking, these are what happens when
original content collides with unoriginal concepts.
Obviously, the most openly derivative of creative pursuits has got to
be advertising. I reminded myself of this recently by diving into my
collection of VHS� tapes (I'm a vagrant netizen in multiple
ways...) and re-watching the 2004 US Open (golf, not tennis). At
some level, this violates my own conscience, no so much in my belief
that people somehow violate the intellectual property of others by
taping stuff off the television airwaves, but more by the guilt over
using such exotic (by the austere expectations of the vagrant netizen)
technologies as VHS�-licensed media and machines, which offer
capabilities beyond the most utopian fantasies of literally hundreds
of generations of samizdateli for something as mundane as men's
professional golf interlaced with numerous golfomercials. I mean,
even if I never get around tuit and `re-constitute' that setup I once
had rigged between our VHS� VCR and our modified Minolta�
video camera with the formerly proprietary handy-dandy electrical
interface to both the 12VDC power supply and the composite A/V signal
lines of the Minolta� portable VCR which unfortunately suppliable
at the gar(b)age sale where we had bought the camera. For a few
precious months I actually had live action montage capability,
although it was a very dim and lo-res one as there seems to be
something wrong, at some level, with the camera. To make a long story
at least a little bit shorter, the untimely death of our other VCR
necessitated unplugging our surviving VCR from the breadboard and
enlist it in the dreary work of taping stuff off the free (as in beer)
airwaves. When one is in love, one gladly makes such sacrifices.
Anyway, this was supposed to be about `derivative work,' whatever that
might be. What triggered it was seeing a 2+ year old golfomercial. I
distinctly remember the 'mercial from back then, but had forgotten
whose advertising campaign it was. Re-watching the 2004 USGAMO
reminded me that the advertiser in question was Lexus�. It was
about a wintersports enthusiast and occasional hitchhiker who was
discussing with his companion his interest (an academic interest, no
less) in ceramics. The punch line of the golvert had something to do
with minoring rather than majoring in ceramics.
A (seemingly) more recent incarnation of the witty deployment of the
concept of a `ceramics major' as a concept in advertising is a recent
radio advertising insertion bankrolled by or for the National
Fatherhood Initiative. It's part of their `be a dad' campaign and
implores the audience "have you been a dad today?" The NFI blitz
describes many ways in which people[?] can earn their dadhood, at
least for a day. One is by driving home the point that a dad worthy
of the job title will evaluate investments in the education of his
offspring based primarily on direct applicability to careerism. In
this respect, in creative terms, the NFI advomercial is lifted
directly (and pretty much `whole cloth') from the Lexus�
It must be emphasized that I am in no way accusing NFI or its agents
of any kind of wrongdoing. I simply found one of their many ads to be
an amusing case study in the recycling of advertising gimmicks.
Another interesting case study involves Daimler und Chrysler... not
the present-day business resulting from the merger of DaimlerBends and
Chrysler, but the separate entities that existed prior to the vaunted
merger of equals. Shortly before the merger a Dodge� commercial
recyled Mercedes�' cute (the first time) inclusion of rhinoceri
(or rhinoceroses) in a car commercial, the beasts in both cases
serving as an example of what's out there, traffic-wise.

So I met this guy online and unfortunately we're in different countries. I feel like I really like him a lot and it will be 5 months since we started talking. I am still studying College and planning to move in his country to work as soon as I finished studying but the problem is it seems like he's having a hard time dealing with our distance and always think that this is not real and he needs to wait for me for 3 years to finished my studies. And we've been fighting a lot lately because I get jealous over simple things and he always wanna end it but he still wants us to be friends and talk everyday. We decided to stay as friends and planned to end everything but we always get back together.
Most Helpful Guy
He either wants to date multiple women which is normal at that age or he wants someone more present. I understand you like this guy a lot but what's stopping you from liking a guy at your college that you can see? Maybe try that out for a while and if it works out with the long distance guy at some point when you have the means to see him then it does.11|00|0
I don't know why I don't like anyone close to me. I just always think that he's just the one that I like. :( I don't really know what to do anymore. I want him to be just my friend because that's the only way I know that we can at least keep our communication so when we had the chance to see each other it'll still be good between us but I just can't accept the fact that when we just became friends, he'll tell me about girls and that will kill me inside and just have to pretend that I'm okay.

Did you have fun on the No Pants Day this year? I had an awesome time. Met a few girls, and took a few pantless pictures with them after riding on the train with them. Did you participate this year? Have fun? Any funny underwear?

What is that? And how common is it?00|00|0
It's an event that happens all around the world once a year... in January. An organization called "Improv Everywhere" gather groups of people at different locations around the city, make plans for who will take their pants off at what subway station, and get off at which station to stand on the platform and get onto the next train. All groups meet at once station at the end. You can read about it on their website. There are official videos on YouTube. Find ImprovEverywhere on YouTube.
- Show AllShow Less
Of course they do. It's illegal to ride the subway naked... but it's okay to do it without your pants... on "No Pants Day". If you check out the YouTube account of Improv Everywhere, there is a "No Underwear Subway Ride" which was censored. Then, a week later, they uploaded the uncensored version. And hahaha, they were all wearing the same exact underwear. Why? Because it's illegal to ride the subway naked.
lol just checking! Well it sounds amusing...sucks for those in cold places!

Not long ago, Microsoft announced that it would be releasing Windows 10 next year. This confused more than a few people, since the Windows 8 that they were desperately trying to avoid upgrading to should have, logically, been followed by a Windows 9 before we got to the double digits.
But this is not a simple case of Microsoft forgetting how to count, or having a phobia of the number 9. This was a deliberate, and clever strategy by Microsoft to distance itself as far as possible from an operating system that had languished in the market.
Approximately 20 per cent of organisations adopted Windows 8. In some ways that wasn't going to surprise anyone, as Microsoft has a history of releasing an operating system that is nearly universally loved, and then following it up with one that most try and avoid. Windows 8 follows on from Windows 7, which was one of the most popular and well-received operating systems the company has ever produced. Historically the company has used one Windows release to break new ground, and the second to refine it to the point where most people are happy with it, and one would assume that this is what is happening here, based on early impressions of Windows 10; it's enhancing Windows 8 in all the right places while maintaining the previous operating system's heritage.
Further, Microsoft has a new CEO now, and with the appointment of Satya Nadella, a new vision. For Nadella, 10 is a nice, rounded number, and linguistically speaking without the number 9 bridging 8 and 10, there's an immediate chasm between them in terms of how people will perceive them. It's simple marketing psychology in practice, but it means a lot in execution – by adding 1 to the new operating system's number, Microsoft has helped guarantee that customers will not immediately associate the new one with the old one.
So Nadella is putting his stamp on Windows with what amounts to a fresh start. There's a while to go before the operating system will be released in full, but some of the early new features promised include:
- Snap enhancements – a new layout that allows up to four applications to be arranged on one screen
- Task view – a task bar button that allows the user to see all open apps and files and switch between them as required
- Multiple desktops – users can create and switch between multiple desktop screens, allowing the user to group distinct workloads together.
These features will help the usability of the operating system, for both consumer and user. At the same time Microsoft is sticking with the tile aesthetic, which customers continue to respond well to, and will be nice and familiar to workers who also use Windows phones or an Xbox at home.
Microsoft's dedication to creating a single, unified experience across all devices appears to remain firm. There's still a long way to go – realistically it will be at least 12 months before we can see the final cut of Windows 10, but with a fresh reset to the counting of Windows products, Windows 10 has some very exciting potential indeed.

Ever want to ask out Taylor Swift?
Duncan Penn of The Buried Life had the chance to do just that -- and he's taking viewers behind the scenes of the big moment on Monday's episode of the MTV reality series.
"We try to ask her out with a crazy plan that involved hundreds of fans and a fake country singer," costar Jonnie Penn tells UsMagazine.com of the ask, which happened at the 2010 CMT Awards in Nashville. (Watch the video, above)
Now that they've managed to cross a date with Swift off their list of things to do before they die, the boys are ready to befriend another A-lister: Robert Pattinson. "It was the strangest thing we've ever done," Duncan says of his interaction with the star as part of a dare, to be seen on an upcoming episode. "He is a tough guy to track down!"
Check out the clip above for Duncan and Jonnie's must-see moments and tune in to The Buried Life at 10:30 p.m./ET on MTV.

DesignLights Consortium vs EnergyStar Qualified Products: ExplainedPosted by admin on Sep 29, 2016 in Commercial LED Lighting | 0 comments
The search for commercial lighting systems can be confusing, misleading, and overwhelming at times. With all of the different terms, labels, and technologies being used how can anyone expect you to make any decisions with all of that going on?
Well, this post is going to at least relieve your confusion about DesignLights Consortium vs EnergyStar approved and qualified lighting products. There is a difference, and you need to be well aware of what it is when you are looking into a new lighting system for commercial purposes and applications.
Firstly to understand the difference, we must be able to define which each one is (even if it is the most basic terms and explanation). Let's start off with DesignLights Consortium…
What is DesignLights Consortium Qualified?
DesignLights Consortium is typically abbreviated with "DLC." It's simple and you should be able to recognize what DLC means when on the search for commercial lighting products.
As to what DesignLights Consortium is, we've written a post on it before detailing everything you need to know. Click here to read it, then come back to finish the rest (opens in a new window)!
What is EnergyStar Qualified?
The major difference between DLC and EnergyStar is that DLC is only for commercial lighting products while EnergyStar is more focused on residential purposes and applications, with a minor hint of commercial lighting in there as well. This makes DLC the more "go to" organization when it comes to commercial lighting qualifications as they are seen as the experts on commercial lighting products and technologies.
Anyways, when it comes to becoming EnergyStar qualified for a lighting product, a product needs to pass these (along with others) guidelines to be able to be EnergyStar qualified:
- Must produce significant energy savings
- Must deliver features demanded by the consumers, including energy efficiency
- and more… (click here to read more about what it takes for a product to be qualified by EnergyStar)
In Summary: The Differences
We've briefly covered the main difference between DLC and EnergyStar, but now we are going to list all of the main differences between the two:
- DLC is only for commercial lighting products while EnergyStar covers many different products for two different groups of consumers (residential and commercial)
- No product will ever have both labels deeming them qualified by both organizations; a product needs to have only one or the other (or none at all, which we don't recommend buying!)
- EnergyStar only qualifies those lights that are used in commercial applications when they are granted jurisdiction over them. This prevents these items from being DLC qualified and are not eligible to be qualified by the DLC; only EnergyStar can (more on this in a minute)
There are major differences between the two, and it's critical for facility managers and building owners to know these things. The main thing to remember is this; if you are buying for commercial / industrial applications, you will most of the time buy DLC qualified products except for those that EnergyStar has jurisdiction over.
EnergyStar Jurisdiction
The only lighting products that the DLC won't, or better yet can't, qualify is those that EnergyStar has been granted jurisdiction over. These are the types of fixtures that will never (unless changed) be DLC qualified:
- Commercial downlights / recessed lighting
- Commercial accent lights
- Commercial under cabinet shelf-mounted task lighting
- Commercial portable desk task lights
What WON'T be EnergyStar Qualified:
Likewise to what will only be qualified by EnergyStar, there are also items that won't be qualified by EnergyStar pertaining to commercial applications. All of which currently include:
- High bay fixtures
- Recessed troffers
- Outdoor street / area lights (garage, canopy lighting, and wall packs)
- Signs of any type (including exit signs)
Click here for more information regarding what EnergyStar will and will not qualify.
After this quick, simple, and brief overview of the differences between EnergyStar and DLC; we hope you've found some light on the topic (get it, light).
In a general sense, most of your commercial lighting purchases will include DLC qualified products, especially when buying for warehouses, factories, parking lots, street lights, and the like all except for those listed.

I'd like to have a spot to keep all my craft ideas in, and I was hoping to keep them separated by crafting categories - maybe I'll just use the ones from Craftster's front page.
I've been trying to think of the most efficient way to do this, and I thought a small notebook with tabs would be ideal, something I could keep in my purse so I have it with me all the time. I have access to a GBC machine at work so I could bind it myself, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about making tabs would be. Any ideas? Any tips from someone with experience binding a tabbed book?
I should probably mention that I'm not a paper crafter, so I have no specialized skills or supplies available to me.

Amorphous hafnium silicates: structural, electronic and dielectric properties
Models of amorphous (HfO2)x(SiO2)(1), for varying hafnium, content x are generated by ab initio molecular dynamics. The structural properties are analyzed in terms of pair distribution functions from which typical bond lengths and coordination numbers are extracted. Electronic band gaps are calculated with a hybrid density functional and are found to decrease in a nonlinear way with increasing x, in accord with experimental observations. Static dielectric constants are evaluated through the application of a finite electric field. The calculated values show a linear dependence on x, supporting recent experimental data.

How do you get the smell of vomit out of carpet? I have tried shampooing numerous times with no luck, the smell is still there and getting stronger because of the summer heat. Help!
By Natasha
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
There is a product at the pet store (and probably larger discount dept. stores that have pet departments) called "Nature's Miracle". You wet the smelly area with it and let it dry, and it is supposed to remove odors caused by the residue of animal (human or otherwise) "outputs". I have heard nothing but good things about it. I used it on my dog after she got skunked, and it got out residual odor.
Mix 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 ammonia, rub into the carpet and use a brush to rub it in. Take a clean, damp cloth and rub to get the excess out. To remove stains you can use this formula and use an iron over a damp cloth to help remove stains on the carpet also.
Try a product called Odo-Ban. It is used in nursing homes (among other places). Works really well!

Manufacturer: Meditech Pharma
Category: Injectable Steroids
Substance: Stanozolol (Winstrol)
Package: 100mg/ml in 10ml vial
In bodybuilding, Winstrol is usually "stacked" with other testosterone-based anabolic steroids. Stanozolol is preferred by many steroid users due to the fact that it causes strength increases without excess weight-gain, promotes increases in vascularity, and will not convert to estrogen. It also does not cause excess water retention, and is thought to have a diuretic effect on the body. Winstrol is commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders alike to lose fat while retaining lean body mass. It is usually used in a "cutting cycle" to help preserve lean body mass while metabolizing adipose. It is presented most commonly as a 50 mg/mL injection or a 5 mg tablet. However, recently 100 mg/mL versions have become available. A common dosage can be 10-25 mg/day orally and 25-50 mg daily injected, with optimal results usually seen at 50 mg/day. It is reduced to micrometer particles in aqueous suspension and does not have a typical elimination half-life. Authentic stanozolol can easily be seen, because it will separate in its container if left undisturbed for a number of hours (the micronized crystal will fall to the bottom, and the water suspension will rise to the top). It has a white, milky color. 100mg per ml, 10ml vial =1000mg

This is a fun gift to make and receive. You can theme it to many different occasions. For a generic soda bottle gift craft you will need:

1 soda bottle with cap; in my examples I used the 20 fl. oz. bottle in size

Card stock and pattern paper

Bow or ribbon

Filler

Gift tag

Tape; clear

Sharp scissors

Ruler

Measure the flat area of the soda bottle. Note the measurement of the area where it is not curved at all so your paper lays flat against the bottle when the gift is complete. This will hold your invisible door shut.

With a pair of sharp scissors, carefully cut a 'doorway' into the side of the soda bottle. Be very careful of the sharp edges on the plastic. Take your time making the cuts. If it's easier, and you have one, you can use a sharp Xacto knife or other small single blade to make the cuts. Younger teens and tweens will probably need some supervision or assistance for this step.

Carefully fill your bottle with wrapped candies and little things that could never fit through the top of the bottle. That's kind of the fun part of this craft, that it's a bit of an optical illusion, and evokes the old-timey "ship in a bottle" displays.

For the Birthday Soda Bottle Gift, just fill the bottle with any birthday themed candy, or any kind of candies that the recipient really likes. Tape the doorway shut.

Using the measurement you took of the flat part of your bottle, cut a piece of card stock so that it fits with a 1/2-inch overlap when wrapping around the bottle. Decorate your label with pattern paper, stickers, etc. This is the part of the project where you can get really creative, so don't hold back!

Place your label on the bottle, wrapping it around and attaching it with clear tape. Add a gift tag and a bow or ribbons. You can further personalize it by decorating with the recipient's name.

The Graduation Soda Bottle Gift uses office supply items including a rubber band ball, mini-highlighter, shaped paperclips and more. You can get these items at any office supply store.

For the Christmas Soda Bottle Gift, any wrapped Christmas candy would work. It took one and one-half bags to fill this soda bottle. Finish off with a bright ribbon to make it look festive. This can also be adapted for Hanukkah or other winter holidays where gifts are exchanged.

The Valentine's Day Soda Bottle Gift uses scrapbooking paper that had red in it, two cut out hearts, black vinyl letters for the 'LOVE U' and a matching tag. It's stuffed with foil wrapped chocolate hearts and a pair of fun Valentine's Day socks, and a red bow is tied to the top to complete the look.

Drain line stoppages are not only extremely inconvenient but also gross – nobody wants to wade in water while they're trying to get clean. Drain line stoppages can happen all over your home and are usually caused by grease, fats, hair, toothpaste, or even your detergent. Plumbing Plus has industry leading plumbing technicians who can come to your home 24/7 to diagnose and resolve all your drain line issues.
Drain line stoppages occur when things like grease and hair build up in the pipes connected to your sinks and showers. The buildup eventually gets to the point where it blocks proper water filtration and causes the stoppage. An easy tell-tale sign that you have a stoppage in your drain line is standing water in your sink or tub. Standing water is unsanitary and can lead to mold and other issues that will end up in additional plumbing costs if not fixed as soon as possible.
- 24/7 turnaround time
- Prompt and precise damage assessment
- Improved water filtration
- Clean living environment
Quick Links:
Outside factors can also cause drain line stoppages. Factors such as tree roots can contribute significantly to causing a huge-scale stoppage, since they can enter outside drains and subsequently block them or break them. In addition, debris like leaves, dirt or insects can also build up and cause a stoppage over time. If you have any reason to believe these factors can cause your drain line stoppage, it is imperative to call in an experienced plumbing professional to inspect your drain line with proper equipment and tools. Trying to fix these issues on your own can lead to mishaps and more severe damage.
Apart from inside buildup and outside factors, problematic pipes can also be the main cause of a stoppage. Some pipes tend to decay over time, which is especially the case with galvanized steel and copper pipes. Gradual decay can cause the pipes to burst, with small pieces being washed down the drain line and ultimately causing a severe stoppage. Needless to say, drains that are blocked in that way are bound to cause an overflow, which is a serious risk to your property and, most importantly, your health. These issues are best addressed by a trained plumber, since they have top-notch tools to identify broken pipes and leaks.
It is important to call a professional to resolve any issues you may be having with your drain line. The use of store-bought drain cleaners is often completely ineffective – store-bought drain cleaners do not work on hair, which is the leading cause for drain line stoppages. Basically, you will waste money thinking you are solving the problem, when in fact you will be creating it.
If you call Plumbing Plus to help you with your drain line stoppage, we can locate the closest technician and dispatch them to your home in no time. Our technicians arrive promptly and prepared. With high quality tools and supplies, our technicians can diagnose the severity of your drain line stoppage and decide what kind of repair work is necessary.
Repairs to the drain line can be very costly, especially if they aren't addressed on time. Additional costs can be incurred if there is a need for digging outside your home or removing soil, or if the overflow caused a flood which needs to be handled as soon as possible. Plumbing Plus accounts for unforeseen costs and provides you with a fair cost estimate, without hidden charges. Our team will devise a plan in accordance with your budget and help you plan the necessary budget for a thorough repair work.
Certified, Licensed and Insured Drain Line Stoppages Experts
Contact us and we will locate and assess the damage with precision and ensure you home is clean:
- Our seasoned technicians arrive to your home promptly and prepared to diagnose the problem accurately and on the spot

I would like to configure the Scan Errors list so that I see only the errors from the latest scan.
Right now I have items 4 weeks old or more in that list and I have no interest in this information.
Is there a setting I can change to display only errors from the most recent scan?
This topic was created during version 3.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Hello RHolland,
You cannot configure the scan list to show items of a certain age. Here are your options regarding those 4week old items, in order from most to least favorable:
- Fix the scan errors (if possible). This method will allow Spiceworks to gather information about the devices with scan errors.
- Place a new scan range into your Network Scan page (ex: 198.123.456.1, 2, 3-5, 7) and select 'Skip' on the range of devices that you don't want scanned anymore. This method will leave your inventory as it is.
- Delete the device- Enter the device from your scan errors page (click on the name of the device) and delete the device from your inventory (make sure to select the "Don't scan again" option). This option will remove the item (and thus, the scan error for it) from the Spiceworks application.
Let me know if you need assistance moving forward with whichever option you select.
Feb 10, 2009 at 6:12 UTC
Well, those 3 suggestions rank right up there with numbers 4 and 5, Gregory:
4. Shut off Spiceworks.
5. Assign someone else to read the scan results.
What I did was to change the scan time and frequency, so that one scan runs only during business hours, when I expect the devices to be turned on. That eliminates most of the connection errors.
Thank you for taking time, though.

Yes, I know where it is. Beside Georgia and Armenia. On the Caspian.
I had a comparative politics class where we looked at all of the former Soviet republics, and the different challenges facing them after the collapse of the USSR. It was actually really interesting... one of my favorite classes.21|10|0
