Please confirm that you want to add Quick Start Guide to Oracle SOA 12c to your Wishlist.
Oracle's SOA Suite 12c product is the leading enterprise SOA development and integration platform on the market today. Oracle SOA Suite allows organizations to build reusable business services, integrations, and model business processes rapidly using the latest industry standards such as SCA, BPEL, SOAP and REST.
A traditional enterprise deployment of Oracle SOA 12c requires an enterprise database deployment (read: NO MYSQL or similar support) along with a distributed deployment. Such a deployment is overkill and unnecessary to build a development or proof of concept environment.
In this course, you will learn how to use the Quick Start distribution to stand up an Oracle SOA 12c development environment rather than spending hours installing the full distribution. You will learn where to find the Quick Start distribution and how to install and create a SOA domain. Lastly, I will show you how to launch and connect JDeveloper to a SOA domain.
This lecture provides an introduction to the course. I will set expectations and explain what you will get out of this free course.
Quick blurb about your instructor.
This is where you'll find the Lab Guide. In the video I will go over the organization and thought behind the lab guide.
The lab guide is attached to this lecture as a PDF. Please check under Resources / Downloadable materials.
Understand system requirements to perform the lab.
I've made some assumptions about those taking this course and the lab environment. Very important that you review this video so your expectations for this course are properly set.
In this lecture I will show you how to create an OTN account on oracle.com and download Oracle SOA 12c.
In this lecture you will learn the process for installing Oracle SOA 12c Quick Start.
This lecture will walk through the lab exercise for installing Oracle SOA 12c using the Quick Start distribution.
In this lab I will show you how to create a stand alone SOA domain using qs_config script. This is the preferred method for creating a SOA domain for development purposes.
Learn the differences between different SOA domains used in the Quick Start Distribution.
This video will show you the slight nuance to installing Oracle SOA 12c on Windows. Overall the process is the same, however I want to demonstrate opening a command prompt with administrative privileges.
Oracle SOA 12c Quick Start comes with a copy of JDeveloper specifically for developing SOA applications. It also supports deploying those applications directly to Oracle WebLogic from within the IDE.
In this lab you will launch JDeveloper and configure a SOA target.

The price of the crop he sells, up 66 percent in a year. But that's not the only number he's looking at.
"We're spending twice as much on fuel this year as we did last year," Eckhardt said.
So, I said, "you're making more on corn, but you're also spending a lot more on fuel?"
"Right," he said. "I guess in a sense it caught us off guard that it went up as much as it did."
And it's really going to cut into profits?
"It will," he said.
Farmers like Eckhardt are at the center of a growing controversy over ethanol - the fuel that runs on corn. Critics say too much corn - one third of this year's entire harvest - will go into fuel, which boosts food prices.
I asked Mark Sponsler of the Colorado Corn Growers Association whether he thinks the American farmer is a punching bag right now.
"It feels like it!" he said.
They risk their entire livelihood, they risk their assets every year to get blamed for uh, everything conceivable right now.
While that debate simmers, groups like "Volunteers of America" suffer.
"Absolutely the highest cost to deliver a meal in the 29 years I've been here is right now," said Jim White of Volunteers of America.
In Denver, White's workers deliver 1,800 hot lunches every day.
"What we're dealing with here are a class of people with very little margin for error," said volunteer driver Larry Moskow.
They need this?
"They need this, exactly," Moskow said.
But between the cost of gas, and raw supplies, the program is starving. Three hundred people who want food can't get it. Emma Dela Cruz is one of the lucky ones.
I asked her what she would do if she didn't get the meals.
"Then I wouldn't eat," she said.
"It's intolerable to have elderly people who have given so much of their life to all … and to not be able to give them a simple meal at home," White said.

The challenge of social media in Pharma
Usually, I reserve Fridays for some random musings, humour, patient stories or some out of the box observations. The end of the week needs some lighter relief as we all wind down.
During yesterday's #BDI conference on social media and Pharma, which was attended by over 350 people, someone put up this cartoon:
You can find the original link here.
It got the biggest laugh of day and resonated with any of us
who have been Pharma marketers debating issues with the
medical-regulatory-legal review team on just about any item.
That said, fortunately, I have been lucky enough in my career to work with some great review committees, staffed with excellent professionals, who were willing to work above and beyond as a team to get things done.
But what's the difference between things going well or badly? My simple answer is attitude.
Ultimately, you have to be willing to be transparent up front about those old friends: what, why, how and when. If you are clear about your strategic goals and have a willingness to be open to new ideas about how the objectives can be achieved, you may well be surprised at how a collegiate team spirit and camaraderie can evolve rather than a constant barrage of aggressive argy bargy and snark.
I'll never forget the civility, harmony and hard work that got done by a phenomenal review team (they know who they are), the agencies and the brand team while we were launching under pressure to horrendous fast track timelines. You know what? Everything got done on time with some far better pieces for the broader team perspective and input than we started with. That's a win-win surely?
It's time to salute the unsung heroes – if you are having trouble with your review committee stop and look in the mirror first: ask yourself what image and mojo are you projecting? The difference between confrontation and collaboration can sometimes be subtle.

[Plugin: WP Photo Album Plus] Titles and descriptions issues
Thanks for creating this plugin…I have a few questions that I'd appreciate you helping me with:
I am trying to have a two line description underneath the thumbnails and photos and though I have the option checked to use HTML, the tags are showing up as text in the description. An example would be
10″ x 14″
What am I doing wrong?
Secondly, I have tried to change the font and size to Verdana 12 for the title and description but it is not taking those settings. I have checked for a random TT tag as mentioned in one of your previous posts but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Any ideas what else it could be?
And thirdly, the title and descriptions are not aligned underneath the thumbnails – is there a setting I am missing?
The site is in the early stages so please don't judge 🙂

2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review
2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review - The 2015 Nissan Quest is a minivan that confounds us–at slightest in part–with its seating flexibility and security evaluations that are just normal notwithstanding its family-accommodating plans In any case its more remunerating to drive than its rivals so the Quest stays convincing for the privilege customer.
Wellbeing and peculiarities are a zone for development. The IIHS says the 2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review acquires "great" evaluations for front and side effects, however provides for it "worthy" scores for top pulverize. The base van accompanies the typical airbags and dependability control, however all-wheel drive is not offered, and to get Bluetooth and a rearview cam -fundamental wellbeing things, we think- -you'll need to use more than $32,000. With significant choices-, for example, force side entryways and a force tailgate; cowhide; satellite radio; and a DVD diversion framework -its conceivable to use almost $40,000 on Nissan's minivan.
Contingent upon your desires, you may discover the outline somewhat more dauntless, as well. With an upright stance and heaps of flared lines in front, the 2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review straight-edged traveler box looks to some extent like the Ford Flex, basically at its pillarless nursery and its practically vertical tail. The inner part is more formal and less hazardous, with woodgrain trim on a plain dash that stacks a few controls in unintuitive spots. The sound handles and switches, for cases, are gathered into two areas, some to the privilege of the shifter, midway outside of anyone's ability to see.
The 2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review utilization of space is a touch of frustrating. It's still an enormous vehicle in the more amazing plan, and front-seat travelers won't need for leg or head room, or for capacity of little things. From that point, the 2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review slips behind different minivans, first with sliding side entryways that don't open sufficiently wide to load in expansive individuals or articles. The second-column seats overlay forward, however don't vanish into the floor, and they can't be evacuated. The third-column seat creases level, as well, however stays set up while each other minivan's third-line seat overlays away to make a level freight floor. A great deal of usable space is lost the whole time, and in a kind of vehicle that places a need on seating, space, and wellbeing, its a setback.
2015 Nissan Quest Canada
Concerning execution? It's a highlight. A 3.5-liter V-6, coupled to a ceaselessly variable transmission, is the 2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review just powertrain It doesn't protest as much here as it does in some different 2015 Nissan Quest Canada Review, and its really peppy for such a substantial vehicle. The guiding has great criticism, the CVT has some prearranged" "movement' focuses to eliminate ordinarily rubbery reaction, and body roll is tempered more than in other huge minivans On the whole the Quest has the best treatment of its kind which tails its marginally more smaller foot shaped impression Gas mileage is among the most reduced of the front-drive minivans, howe

A Great Hand Courtesy of Larry Cohen
Larry Cohen sent us this link to an article he wrote about a "great hand" played by Lapt Chan in the Round of 16 of the 2007 USBC. Here are pictures of Lapt and Larry at the USBC, and the hand - can you guess how Lapt made 4 after a trump lead? Click on the link to Larry's site to find out. This diagram of the hand shows Lapt in his "real" seat (North). The hand on Larry's site is rotated to make Lapt South, since all declarers in bridge articles sit South.

2016 USBF Election - Mea Culpa & Nominating Committee Slate
When I (Jan) listed the USBF Board members on the website at the beginning of 2016, I erroneously listed Bob Katz' term as expiring 12/31/2016, although he had just been reelected to the Board for a 3 year term ending in 2018. Unfortunately, no one noticed the error and therefore when the time came for this year's election, we thought there were 3 vacancies on the Board for the 3 year term commencing 1/1/2017, although there were in fact only 2.
The Nominating Committee met, interviewed candidates for the Board and nominated three of them.
When the error was discovered, one of the three nominees graciously withdrew his name so there would be no need for a contested election unless a candidate filed a petition to be on the ballot.
The two Nominating Committee candidates for the USBF Board of Directors' terms commencing on 1/1/2017 are Dave Caprera & Marty Fleisher.
|Dave Caprera
|Marty Fleisher (Currently on Board)
Brief Statements from the Candidates:
Dave Caprera:
I am a semi-retired tax lawyer living in Denver Colorado. I have14,000+ masterpoints, serve as the District 17 disciplinary chair, previously served on the National Appeals Committee (when they had such a thing), and write a monthly column for the ACBL Western Conference Newsletter entitled "Sleeping on the Couch." Two years ago in Istanbul and this summer in Salsomagiorre, I was a coach for the US Junior under 21 team, and am actively involved with the junior program. If elected, my principal interests are the junior program (else, "the game will die when we do") and (given my tax law background) the laws and their revision.
Marty Fleisher:
I've been an attorney for more than 30 years and a bridge player (much) longer than that. I've also been active in the investment/financial world for about 10 years , which is about the same amount of time I've been playing very seriously I am just completing my first 3-year term on the board and am looking forward to my second.
In accordance with the USBF Bylaws as clarified in the Election Procedures, additional candidates, who should review the Board Member Expectations document, may be added to the slate by petition, as follows:
- 4. Petition Candidates
Active Members in good standing may be added to ballots by petition. A valid petition application form requires twenty-five (25) Active Member signatures. Petitions must be received at USBF headquarters no later than twenty (20) days prior to the ballot mailing date.
The ballot mailing date is November 24th so the last day to submit a nomination Petition is November 4th.
If there are no petition candidates, the two candidates nominated by the Nominating Committee will be elected without need for voting.

Style of Things to Come
Spring is just around the corner and the shop windows are filled with flirty skirts and strappy heels. The nurseries are bursting with spring flowers and the aisles of Target are lined with jelly beans and chocolate bunnies (as well as splendid goodies from across the Pond!) It's the birth of a new season and I find myself in nesting mode, preparing for the birth of a new baby. Now, while I have been through this before, I find that this time the experience is completely different. One theory (my mother's) is that perhaps this time I am expecting a little girl. Another theory (mine) is that I am so exhausted from caring for a rambunctious toddler while dealing with an ever burgeoning belly that the whole experience has taken on an altered perspective.
With my first baby I had absolutely no idea what to expect; everything was a new experience, everything was a first. From the intense desire for Chinese food at 3:00 a.m. to my incredibly expanding waistline (and other body parts). I welcomed each change, especially when I finally looked pregnant and could actually wear my chic and stylish maternity fashions, and not like someone who had scarfed a few too many Krispy Kremes. I revelled in the knowledge that I was creating a new life. And while the wonder and awe are still there, this time I find myself thinking, "Let's get this over with already!" I am even now anticipating the dreaded cankles (a.k.a. tree-trunk legs), sneezing and tooting at the same time (as well as wetting myself), knocking over my toddler with my belly, getting stuck in sofa cushions and needing a crane to extricate myself, and the myriad of other slightly to maddeningly irritating circumstances pregnancy constitutes. Not to mention the thought of getting everything ready for a new baby. (Where did I put that baby sling again?) I am working myself into high dudgeon (and apparently reading too many Victorian novels) and stressing about all there is to do. Where to begin?
Thankfully, a very dear friend dropped off a copy of The Peaceful Nursery in anticipation of a total stress meltdown on my part. I don't know when I have received a more welcome or more needed gift in my life (along with the one thing that helps my tiny tot sleep). Not only does this book help you plan and set up your perfect nursery (everyone has different parenting styles and needs), but it also helps you get your entire home organized, prepared and de-stressed. And who wouldn't appreciate a more serene home? By setting aside half an hour each day for the next few weeks I will be able to eliminate the clutter, streamline the housework and create a safe and nurturing environment for my new little angel!
Now that I am feeling much more relaxed about the impending arrival of my wee one, I can concentrate on other equally important issues—namely, boosting my flagging style spirits! You know how it gets, you have finally come to terms with the rotunda-tummy and having to wear a steel-belted bra at all times. But you have reached that iffy point (fashion-wise) in your pregnancy, the last trimester, where you really don't want to invest a lot of money in clothing that you hope to never see again six months from now. So what's an expectant girl to do for a little style indulgence? Here's a guide to third-trimester fashion as well as post-baby style:

Lunch Lady Can't Cook
The brownies were a big disappointment and turned out dry. I had the temp turned down to 335 to adjust for the non-stick pan, and they cooked very evenly and edges didn't get done too fast, but the whole thing was dry, dry, dry. I'm never making brownies from scratch again. You just can't beat the boxed mixes, and it's much easier!
Just thought I'd pop in and tell y'all that in case you were thinking of making them.

They looked really good, sorry they were a disappointment. Your knitting project is looking great (from previous post). Take care, HeatherReplyDelete
Oh, that stinks! I'm sorry to hear that. I've always been a box brownie girl, too, but I found a from scratch recipe last year that was awesome. It's not on the web anymore but I have a printed copy I can email you if you'd like.ReplyDelete
Good to know, cause they sure SEEMED like they should be good. I recently read on one of my favorite blogs (my five men) that the Ghirardelli box mix is amazing. I looked for it in the grocery store, but didn't see it. =( Have a good day, Pammy Sue. blessings ~ tannaReplyDelete

Get the facts about Pittsburg State University nursing application, and registering for elective lectures. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Completion of an accredited nursing program or other medical training can qualify you to start working in a private hospital immediately. Concentrating on Pittsburg State University nursing application, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the RN department for course registration deadlines, and registered nurse program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Pittsburg State University.
To become a Registered Nurse(RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, a bachelor's degree provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including pediatrics, geriatrics and mental health nursing. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. If you wish to continue advancement, a masters degree and several years of experience as a nurse, may qualify you for the Nurse Practitioner (NP) credential. Nursing job openings are projected to grow 16 percent over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. The average salary for nurses with an Associates degree was $43,700 in 2017, while nurses with a Bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years, at which time you'll need to renew. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital Medical-Surgical (MedSurg) floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. To keep your license current, you must take continuing education courses, and renew your license every few years. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, these courses may be offered on-site. Beyond major requirements within the RN department, you may consider Gainesville State College pathology as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

why if we use a full spectrum or infrared camera, its always need a vegetation to make a good capture, the reason is, the vegetation is looks different in modified camera compared to vegetation in natural condition, its unique. but why its unique?here is the explanation
Vegetation use visible light as part of their photosynthesis process to make their foods. The most need are mainly blue and red light but not so much green light, so they reflect green light a lot, thats why vegetation mostly looks green to our eyes. actually there one light which is reflected from vegetation, the near infrared light, but not visible to the human eye thats why we can only see green leaves. the near infrared light which is just beyond red light, are able to capture by CMOS and CCD from camera or by special negative film on past time photography.
Is it a benefit for CMOS and CCD to be able to capture near infrared ?, of course for most people it a disturbing effect. To make image captured by camera looks exactly like our eyes, Camera manufacturer must put a hot mirror ( it just name, some said its uv ir block filter ). actually the camera have capabilty to see beyond that.

I need to take a little time and figure out my direction so in the meantime, there probably won't be daily posts.Karlahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-74824387357825468672009-11-04T04:01:00.000-08:002009-11-04T04:02:19.007-08:00Ripping off the blindersI (re)learned two important lessons in the past few days: 1) perception is reality and boy, can it differ widely; and 2) don't give advice unless it's asked for (and proceed with caution when it is).

<o:p> </o:p>

I've had several uncomfortable discussions (read: arguments) with my mom over the past year regarding money and planning. This past weekend brought about a doozy and while debriefing with my best friend, a realization slammed into me – what I viewed as helpful advice was being seen as judgmental critique. From my perspective, I saw my mom in a tight spot and wanted to help. From her corner, she was dealing with a rough situation and being judged by her daughter at the same time. I'd never considered that my advice might be unwelcome or that this role reversal might be painful. I simply saw a problem and a need for a solution so I stepped up to provide just that. But I didn't set myself up to see it from her shoes so she didn't consider the "solutions" as being feasible for her. I'm not sure I'd like that either.
Karlahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-89312031305708976092009-11-02T17:04:00.001-08:002009-11-02T17:04:36.960-08:00An eye-openerI attended a beautiful wedding yesterday. The love between the bride and groom and among the guests shone brightly. As I enjoyed the company, food, and dancing, I suddenly realized that I was in a room full of people who routinely pursue their passions, with little regard for the financial implications. One woman is a folk singer (though that barely scratches the surface of her talents), another is an author, yet another is a dancer. It's a tight knit group of incredibly talented, artistic people who spend their lives doing what they love. What a concept!

And as I looked around, I realized that few people I know would consider these folks successful, simply because most of them aren't out making gobs of money. A couple of years ago, I probably would have drawn the same conclusion. But now, I'm not sure I feel that way. Because their success is a life well lived, spending their time pursuing their passions. The more I think about it, I think that's the greater success. It's given me a lot to think about in relation to my own life. I work in the corporate world – is that what I want? If not, what else would I want to do? What are my passions?Karlahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-30563735364953900482009-10-31T09:46:00.000-07:002009-10-31T09:47:13.203-07:00Striking a balanceFirst, Happy Halloween! Ok, now that that's out of the way…

<o:p> </o:p>

I've been thinking a lot lately about the way emotions and reason often clash. This topic has been covered before but I am only now realizing the true depth of this conflict.

<o:p> </o:p>

Over the past few months, I've found myself in several situations where my emotions pushed against reason in regards to spending. One was the convertible incident described previously. I had a couple of stressful weeks, with the car and travel and work, and I noticed that I was less likely to think twice about spending during that time. The big win (at least in my book) is that I was cognizant of the conflict and so, even if I wasn't completely able to stop the slippage, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

<o:p> </o:p>

I think the biggest area of conflict for me arises around my social life. My friends and I have been blessed to have success in our careers and we all enjoy the good things in life – food, wine, travel, etc. I have noticed that when I try to pare back on social spending, it often means missing out on occasions because of the way those occasions are structured. Suggestions of doing something less expensive are met with eye rolling and snide comments.

<o:p> </o:p>

I can't blame my friends and family for this because I'm the one who set the expectations. It's not surprising that I get these reactions for I am the one who's changing the game. And let's be honest, people generally don't like change. We get into our comfort zone and like staying there. But in order to reach the goals I have set for myself, I have to get out of that comfort zone, at least temporarily.

<o:p> </o:p>

So how do you handle balancing your goals with your reality? And can you change it without changing your entire social structure? For now, I'm combating this conflict by allowing for a tad more discretionary spending. Will I get to my goals as quickly? No, but I'll have people to celebrate those goals with me when I get there and to me, that's much more important.
Karlahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-22004851290223880112009-10-30T03:46:00.001-07:002009-10-30T03:46:50.600-07:00TemptationI love to travel. Stepping onto an airplane in one place and soon thereafter, landing in another. Visiting friends and exploring new territory. Airfares have dropped drastically over the past few days. (check out this article for more info)

<o:p> </o:p>

When I saw this article and the emails from airlines and Travelocity, I immediately started browsing the options and perusing my calendar for a free weekend. After a few minutes, I came back to reality and closed all of the windows. Travel is one of my big categories of discretionary spending and it's on hold as I pursue paying off that student loan before my birthday. So, while these are fantastic deals, they still represent unplanned spending and delaying the plan that will (hopefully) lead to realizing my dreams.

<o:p> </o:p>

*sigh* It sure would be nice to jet off though. Sometimes being responsible is hard.

An excuse to dress up, play, and party. And this year, we've got the fall back from daylight savings time, giving us an extra hour to celebrate. Lots of other blogs have given tips on how to save money on Halloween (I love this one from Jenn at Frugal Upstate).

My challenge was in finding a costume that would be versatile as well as frugal. I've got plans that include a family outing, one with my goddaughter, a low-key friends' party, a fancy-dress party, and a party party. I decided that I would be a cat this year, since I can range from simply drawing on whiskers and wearing the ear headband with regular clothes up to full on costume complete with all black clothes and tail.

What will you be for Halloween this year?Karlahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-89866042514470650552009-10-28T03:25:00.000-07:002009-10-28T03:27:44.347-07:00Convertible cars vs. dreamsA couple of weeks ago, I picked up my goddaughter for an overnight visit and her parents and I made a big deal about how she was going to ride in my new car. She was very excited about it. As she was climbing in, she asked "is this a convertible car?" and my heart plummeted. It pained me to explain that it wasn't and I found myself wanting to reassure her that I'd have a convertible soon. Throughout the weekend, she asked "why isn't this a convertible car?" several more times. As word spreads about the new car (at work, to family, etc.), people keep asking the same question. Every time I hear it, I have second thoughts about my decision. It's not exactly a fun process but it's got an upside: my conviction that I made the right decision grows stronger because I have to keep reliving the decision process.

That was hammered home yesterday as I talked to a colleague about the new car and he needled me about the lack of convertible (which has been sorely missed with this week's nice weather). I started down the usual path of questioning myself…and then I really listened to him talk. He was describing how he and his wife approach cars: they lease new cars every three years. He considers car payments "just another bill," like a student loan, so they don't bother him anymore (his words, not mine). That snapped me back to reality. By the end of this year, I'm going to pay off my student loans and less than a year later, my new car will be paid off – then I'll be non-mortgage debt free! And that means more to me than having a zippy little convertible. Because then I will be that much closer to financial freedom.

Stanley and Danko. I remember borrowing this from the library a couple of years ago and it failing to catch my interest. Fast forward to now, when my overall interest in personal finance and wealth-building has developed, and I found it fascinating. Their research reinforces so many basic tenets of personal finance, mainly spending less than you earn. They also present an interesting paradox, namely, that those who appear wealthy probably aren't. There's also an underlying theme of family values since most of the millionaires married once and stayed married, usually raising several children along the way. If you get a chance, I recommend checking this out. As for me, I'm moving right along to Stop Acting Rich:...and Start Living Like a Real Millionaire.

Karlahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-74002719066769970452009-10-25T15:09:00.000-07:002009-10-25T15:15:01.876-07:00A new perspectiveA few weeks ago, misfortune threw car trouble my way. The anticipated repair was pricey but after calling around for other estimates, seemed within the range of reason for a 7 year old car with 100K miles. I had had several conversations with a friend earlier in the year about buying a new car and I had decided to keep this one going for a couple more years so I went forward with getting the repairs done.

<o:p> </o:p>

Then I had the car taken to one of those other places (it was overheating so driving 20 miles was out of the question) and found out that it was much worse than the original mechanic thought. A word of advice: if the mechanic calls you and begins by reminding you of your car's trade-in value before telling you the cost of repairs, you should heed his advice to buy a new car.

<o:p> </o:p>

I was unprepared for the emotional roller coaster that followed. My first instinct was to replace a convertible with another convertible – logical, right? I shopped around and found some cars that were very nice. Yet something kept me from pulling the trigger on the purchase. I simply couldn't fathom taking on $20-25K in debt. I was unprepared to purchase a car at the time and consequently did not have much cash saved for a down payment so financing was in order.

<o:p> </o:p>

Fortuitously (or perhaps not), a mini-break came up during this process. I flew across the country for a long weekend and got to take something of a break from the car problems. I was in a great position – I got to step away and think about what I was doing and how I should do it.

This was when I started considering non-convertible options. When I'd talked to the mechanic, he recommended Honda (Civic or Accord) and Toyota (Corolla or Camry). Once the idea crossed my mind, I couldn't believe that I had brushed it off earlier (isn't that the way?). When I came home, I started looking for a late model, low mileage car that would be fuel efficient, comfortable, and that would hold its value well.

<o:p> </o:p>

And that's exactly what I got – a 2007 Honda Accord with 26K miles on it.

<o:p> </o:p>

Unfortunately, in an unplanned situation like this where time is of the essence, one is limited in the amount of frugality that can be practiced. I ended up with a car loan, which pushes my other plans back a bit. Yet I'm comfortable with the balance that I struck – I didn't buy a clunker with the little bit of cash I had on hand but I also didn't buy the brand new convertibles that caught my eye (oh, how I will lament the lack of drop-top come spring).

<o:p> </o:p>

The unexpected result of this process has been a constant questioning of my own assumptions. I feel like I've regressed to toddler phase because my constant question is "why?" Does the fact that I've done something a certain way in the past automatically mean that it's the best way? This mindset is being applied both at home and at work and I have to say, it's interesting. Ah, change is so scary and so good, all at the same time.

It's so much easier to fall into the same old routines, to walk the easy route. I had a Sunday afternoon and evening with no plans. Instead of doing something productive or getting around to something I'd been meaning to do for a long time, I ended up watching television for the majority of the day. I spent a good portion of today doing the same thing. How do you stay focused on your dreams? Trent over at The Simple Dollar re-posted an article from 2007 about personal finance lessons a couple of weeks ago and reading the first one truly did rock me like a hurricane: Every time you buy anything, you sacrifice a bit of your dreams.

What a succinct way to bring things into perspective. When I agree to go out on the town for an expensive evening, I'm pushing my debt-free status back further. And it doesn't just apply to spending money. While I don't think that I need to spend every minute of every day wholly focused (because that's unrealistic), spending time on unproductive activities is keeping me from realizing my dreams. How do you maintain focus?Karlahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-13961624776166480952009-10-23T04:04:00.000-07:002009-10-23T04:05:03.091-07:00Why blog?So what's so special about my journey and why blog about it? Well, I'm a single woman and I don't feel that I have a lot of support in this area. My friends and family aren't on the same page with me and I often get blank stares when I get to talking about my plans. Taking it a step further, I regularly get comments about "live a little" and "you can't take it with you." Their view is that I'm a young, single, successful woman so I "deserve" to play hard right now. Someday, I'll be saddled with lots of expenses (because, you know, that's how it is for them so it has to be that way for me) and I will regret not doing/buying things. What they don't understand is that there are tons of ways to play hard without spending a lot of money. In reading other personal finance blogs, I've learned that there ARE others like me out there and I'm re-energized. So while I'm here to share my thoughts, dreams, and ideas, I'm also here to learn about yours.Karlahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-83139725418242865332009-10-22T03:52:00.000-07:002009-10-22T03:55:50.589-07:00Live Your DreamsLive your dreams. These words float through my head several times a day. I thought I knew what that meant to me but over the past few months, I've learned that maybe it's not what I thought it was.

A year or two ago, I started reading about personal finance. MSN Money and The Simple Dollar started things off and now, I keep up with ten or twelve sites on a regular basis. I came to realize that I'm in pretty good shape when it comes to personal finance so I treaded water, occasionally picking up a new tip or two.

Then I read Dave Ramsey's "The Total Money Makeover" this summer and it was like my blinders were ripped off. I was someone who had a long way to go on her journey. Sure, I only had "good" debt (a student loan and a mortgage) but it was still debt and it was holding me back. So I got aggressive and mounted an attack on the student loans.

A couple of months later, I started reading "Tales of a Female Nomad" by Rita Golden Gelman and I realized just how much it appealed to me – learning, helping, freedom. It spurred me to work harder, pushing forward to eliminate that student loan debt.

Then my car bit the dust. I struggled with this decision (more on that later) and eventually, I came to realize that a cheaper, slightly older car would cause a shorter delay in my plan. This was a more difficult decision than I would have expected.

It was then that I realized I was on a major journey. My dreams and goals had become clear and I was working my way towards them. It was an exciting moment.Karlahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666288357696070555.post-16456002490833382462009-10-20T17:33:00.000-07:002009-10-20T17:37:05.617-07:00Off to the Races!It's taken a long time and a lot of thinking to get to this point. It took me several weeks to work up the courage to make the leap, only to find that the name I'd chosen for this blog was taken. So were several variations and iterations, leading me to conclude that it just wasn't time to get started. Things have come together and here I am! Thanks for joining me on this journey.Karlahttp://email@example.com

It always feels fantastic to finish something and get it off the needles! I always feel accomplished after finishing something, even after twelve years of knitting. After all, it does take some amount of skill and determination to stick with a ball of yarn and actually turn it into something.
This is technically the last pair of socks for my Aunt Kathy's Big Sock Commission™ (even though I still have one more sock to knit from the Beaded Hedera Socks). The color is so off the wall for her that I really had a blast knitting with it. I went from neutral greys and toned down pastels to these bright candy colored pastels worthy of their name Sweetie. The colors are truly so sweet that it almost makes your teeth ache to knit with it.
Even though I do wash socks before I send them to Aunt Kathy, I don't always block them on a sock blocker. There are some designers that you really should block before taking the final pictures of them to share (if you don't wear them right away) and a lot of Cookie A's socks are like that. The texture of the Monkey socks unblocked looks crinkly and has the potential to look really uneven. Once it is blocked, the stitches smooth out and the eyelets open up to make the sock easier to fold.
Just look at the difference from the unblocked picture to the finished blocked picture! After all, if we go through the trouble to knit things for people, we should also pay attention to the finishing details before we gift them. It just makes everything look nicer and makes it look like we actually take pride in our work. Of course, doing a little bit of quick and dirty photoshop to crop the pictures and add a nice frame never hurts either.

Aussie #1 has time off, so we decided to the coast and camp all the way to the Great Ocean Road. The weather wasn't looking promising, but we packed the car with tents, toys, and plenty of food and hoped for the best. Our first night was spent camping at Brou Lake and fishing in the Tasman Sea. The rains came, and we stuck it out but caught nothing. I woke up freezing to a soggy campsite - I would have to invest in some pants and a few more layers! Aussie #1 had friends in Moruya, so we headed that direction for lunch and my first western food in a while! We even bought cheese from Bodalla (mmmm), a local dairy. That night we camped in Cape Conrad, where there was more fishing (and the "big one" seaweed scare) and sightings of possum, potoroo, wallaby, kookubura, magpie, seal, and PELICAN! More rain, however, and the forecast was not favorable for the coming week.
Day 3 we made it to Melbourne, and it was still raining. So much for this camping road trip! We sucked it up and stayed in the largest backpackers I've ever seen. I felt like a sock in a drawer, but it was at least a warm drawer! Aussie #1 and I toured the city in the rain, had awesome burritos (yay!), and went on a live music hunt. Melbourne is a great city - lots of people, multicultural, tons going on. There was a slice of sun in the forecast, however, so we cut our time in the city a bit short. It was time to head to the Great Ocean Road for the 12 Apostles!

"Good afternoon, Mrs Goldfarb."
"Good afternoon, Mr Rabinowitz. Although I'm not so sure how good it is. And you?"
"What can I say? You want your TV?"
"Yes, if you don't mind."
"Mrs Goldfarb, can I ask you a question? You won't take it personal? How many years we know each other?"
"Who's to count?"
"Why not tell the police? Maybe they could talk to Harry. He wouldn't be stealing the TV."

text: I am considering the purchase of a Bryston SP1.7 and its sister video switching unit. I'd like to hear reviews from people who have auditioned this pair. Does anyone know how this preamp/processor compares with the Lexicon MC-8, Krell, and others in this class. I like Bryston's bypass mode for two channel listening and also the idea of a separate video switching unit. MT

Prescriptions and Refills
Please ask your pharmacy to send us an electronic request. If your pharmacy is not able to send an electronic request, please use the portal to request a refill. It is located under MyHealth section.
Messages left on the portal will be answered faster than messages left on the voice mail.
Please allow at least 3-5 business days to process refills.
The Clinic emergency or after hours number is not available for medication refills.
Given the ever changing difficulty having insurances approving medications, if your medication is denied for this reason, if you can let us know what alternative medication on that category is approved by your insurance, this will greatly speed the process.
Some new Rx will require a lot of paperwork to be approved by your insurance. This process is called Prior Authorization. Please follow the process along with your pharmacist to make sure this gets approved. It may be a few days to get the paperwork done. Testosterone is particularly difficult and will require prior authorization every time. Expect delays
Refills will be denied if you have missed appointments or if you have not been seen for an extended period of time without being seen by your practitioner. Make sure you make an appointment in this case.

I was going through my Google Alerts for Entrepreneur and Entrepreneurship the other day and came across an interesting article on Entrepreneur. It was an article that talked about the 4 Strategies John Lee Dumas used to build a $250k a month podcast.

HUSTLE. The word "sophisticated" business people hate to use and be associated with. The word hustle has a negative connotation attached to it for many people who operate a business but it is a word I love.
If you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, startup founder; you are most definitely hustling. You are not just operating passively because doing so would most certainly jeopardize your ability to be successful. You have to be aggressive/ assertive everyday while building your business. Just because opportunity is available, it doesn't mean it will just be handed to you. Read More Why Entrepreneurs Must Love the Hustle
I am not one of those people who says you must go through extreme hardships in order to be considered an entrepreneur. And I am also not one of those people who believes that everyone should be an entrepreneur or can be an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurship is an ongoing process of actions that you have to continuously develop and properly structure in order to produce the most rewarding output for your efforts.

Last Wednesday I had my first meetup for my Meetup group Entrepreneurial Ambitions. The meetup went as expected with any new networking group. I had about 40 RSVPs but only about 10-12 people showed up. I was hoping for at least 15-20 people but I knew not to focus on the quantity of people in attendance but more on the quality of people in attendance. And fortunately, I had some ambitious individuals in attendance who reinforced my motivation for why I started the meetup in the first place.
One of the key questions that I had asked was, "Why did I create the Entrepreneurial Ambition's Meetup group and what was the meaning of Entrepreneurial Ambitions?" Read More Why I Created the Entrepreneurial Ambition's Meetup Group
Last weekend I had my mind awakened to an unsettling realization. I left the rat race of the J.O.B. (just over broke) to only be in the rat race of entrepreneurship! I was quite shocked and ashamed of myself when I came to this conclusion.
So what is the entrepreneur rat race?
How could someone who speaks about success find themselves actively participating within the entrepreneur rat race?
Well this is a transparent blog and I have no problem sharing the details of my journey, so I will explain. Read More The Entrepreneur Rat Race
I can't even lie… I am tired and need a weekend of nothing but sleep and relaxation. Between working to make The Symmetry Firm successful, recruiting people for the Atlanta Entrepreneurial Ambition's Meetup Group, creating the strategy for taking Entrepreneurial Ambitions to another level, writing for other sites, networking at least twice a week and going to the gym at least five days during the week; I am always on the go or working on something. But, honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. Read More Persistency in Entrepreneurship

Affordable -Performance Headphones Models Bow From Sennheiser
Two New Lightweight, Comfortable Designs Bring Serious Personal Listening to New Generation
usaOld Lyme, Connecticut - Sennheiser Electronic Corporation, the U.S. presence of the German firm synonymous for more than three decades with high -performance headphones for music listening, has unveiled its latest "entry -high -end" designs. The Sennheiser HD 201 and HD 215 are closed, dynamic headphones that feature extended, accurate response, impressive dynamic potential, and remarkable comfort.
"The HD 201 and HD 215 bring the real Sennheiser personal listening experience to impressively affordable levels," says Sennheiser Electronics' vice president of marketing, Stefanie Reichert, "so we expect them to reveal to a whole new generation just how close to the music they can get."
Both the HD 201 and HD 215 are "over -the -ear," closed -back designs that deliver outstanding attenuation of ambient noise, encouraging the wearer to become fully immersed in sound without undue distractions. Good as the HD 201's ambient -noise attenuation is, the HD 215's is even a bit better; it also features a rotatable earcup that makes adjustment to the one -eared use favored by DJ and radio -station users quick, easy, and comfortable. A single -sided, coiled, detachable (and replaceable) cable is another "pro" HD 215 feature such users are certain to notice.
Each of the new Sennheisers features exceptionally smooth, natural, extended response. The HD 215 produces nearly an octave of deeper "infra -bass," to a tooth -rattling 12 Hz vs. the HD 201's "mere" 21 Hz, while both models challenge the upper limits of human hearing with ratings of 18 and 22 kHz.
And both models deliver dynamic potential to spare for reproducing any musical style with real -world levels and impact, with SPL limits of 108 and 112 dB. So despite their unusually lightweight, comfortable designs, the HD 201 and HD 215 stand ready to create true "high -end" personal listening experiences, with the natural tonalities and impressive dynamic impact experienced listeners expect from any headphone carrying the Sennheiser name. And of course, both carry Sennheiser's two -year warranty.
Sennheiser's new HD 201 and HD 215 are fitted with rugged, kink -resistant cables and 1/8 -inch (3.5mm) stereo plugs, and packaged with 1/4 -inch (6.3MM) stereo -plug adapters to make them ready for use with virtually any home or portable music system. The HD 201 and HD 215 will be available March 2005, at Sennheiser's suggested retail prices of $24.95 and $149.95, respectively.
About Sennheiser
Established in 1945 in Wedemark, Germany, Sennheiser is the acknowledged world leader in headphone -transducer and microphone technology, RF -wireless and infrared sound transmission and, most recently, the development of active noise -cancellation. Sennheiser Electronic Corporation is a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, headquartered in Old Lyme, Connecticut.

3d slider not showing!
My website it bourkeproductions.com
I have purchased a template from themeforest and have been happy with it, except the 3d slider I want on my home page won't load.
The drop shadow for it will show, but no images do.
I spoke with the developer and this is what they said:
Uuu, some new 3D slider issue. I haven't seen anything like that yet. Well… it's likely (99%) that this is server config related issue. Have you tried launching that on your localhost without any rectrictions (that are likely to occur on some servers)? Have you tried running that on another server? Have you tested any other themes with 3D Flash slider before?
I can't say what may be configured wrongly because I have no idea either. I'm sure that 3D slider works on my localhost and on my server and if it doesn't work on your server then there must be something wrong with it.
I'll have to think about it. In the meantime you may try asking server support. Maybe they will be able to help you faster than me
I'm not sure what to do now!
Help 😀

LONDON, Oct 3 (Reuters) Plasticine pals Wallace and Gromit are to appear in a new short film, the first since their Oscar-winning animated feature movie.
The intrepid inventor and his faithful sidekick will star in a half-hour instalment, ''Trouble at Mill'' about the quirky duo's attempts to run a bakery business, creator Nick Park said on a video posted on their Web site.
''In this film Wallace and Gromit have got a new business, they're into baking and they've built a windmill on the top of their house to grind the corn, to bake the bread and with a dough-to-door delivery service,'' he said.
The film, which also sees cheese-fan Wallace develop a new love interest in the guise of a woman called Piella, will be co-written with Bob Baker who collaborated on previous successful outings for the animated duo.
Park told the BBC they would start work on the film next January at Aardman studios and it would take about eight months to shoot. It will be shown on BBC TV at the end of 2008.
The full length film, ''Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit'', was released in 2005 to critical acclaim and was awarded the Oscar for best animated feature.
Park had previously won Oscars in the short film category with works featuring Wallace and Gromit -- ''The Wrong Trousers'' in 1993 and ''A Close Shave'' in 1995.
He was also nominated in 1990 for ''A Grand Day Out''.

Teddy Psitos
she makes an effort at the beginning of the year, but she really isn't good at teaching and expects you to know more than you do. her tests are really hard.
She was very passionate and helpful for the first month, but I noticed that she seemed less prepared and put less effort into the class as time went on and the tone of her voice seemed annoyed when people made mistakes. I was sometimes nervous of her unpredictable mood changes. I sense that teaching isn't truly her passion or what she really wants to devote her life to.
Ms. Psitos is really nice, but she kind of gives off a preferential vibe towards certain students. Her tests are really thorough.
Ms. Psitos is one of the most helpful math teachers I've ever had, and math is extremely difficult for me. She's so much fun while at the same time keeping control of her class and making sure we're l
Great Teacher; very friendly and always tries to help each student with different needs. Happy to have had her!
Makes class fun. Pay attention and come after school if you need help to get the best grades.
she is a complete psycho, chooses favorites, really mean, and actually made me cry once.
By far the best math teacher I have ever had. She gets stuff done, knows how to control a class, gives AMAZING notes, and does great in-class studyiing for tests. DO NOT GET ON HER BAD SIDE!!
Probably the greatest math teacher I've had. Helpful and kind and we did a lot of nice stuff in her class since we only had 10 kids.
certainly plays favorites and is unhelpful even if u go after school for help
Im in her last block and even though I dont wanna be there she makes it bearable....this is the first year I actually get math....imp 2 h
Her class was easy last year.Her final was like 30 questions.It was awesome.She can be cool sumtimes.
Her class was really really easy. She's a good teacher, but she was biased against a lot of people and she definitely had favorites-if you were one u liked her.
she is so mean. she gives u a bad grade becasue either u don't do plays or are not cool. I don't know why any school would hire her. teach yourself
aww shes so0o nice! and she cares about all her students!!
jst cuz you dont do plays doesnt mean you should do poorly in math
I learned a lot but sometimes she only taught in one way and had trouble adjusting to everyones learing levels but was really nice and always there to help
I took her class as a freshman, and there was no doubt that I was smarter than her when it comes to math and common sense.
Plays favorites with the theater crowd and cool kids.
Teach yourself!! Tests are from arcane areas of text book never taught in class

Steelers, Bell fail to reach deal; RB will play on franchise tag
Contract negotiations between the Pittsburgh Steelers and star running back Le'Veon Bell are down to the wire. "We will resume our efforts to address his contract situation following the 2017 season". He has until 4 p.m. ET Monday to sign a long-term contract, avoiding the tag designation. He has not yet signed his one-year tender after the Steelers placed the franchise tag on him in March, so he would not be subject to fines, according to NBC Sports ProFootballTalk.
Both sides have valid points in this conflict. Bell stayed away from offseason workouts while recovering from groin surgery. Bell started 2015 and 2016 on the NFL's suspended list for violations of the league's substance abuse policy.
When Bell is on the field, he is brilliant.
Bell rushed for 1,268 yards and seven touchdowns, adding another 616 yards and two scores through the air, in 12 games for the Steelers last season.
KDKA's Bob Pompeani says Bell can be franchised again next season.
NFL Network ranked Bell the No. 9 overall player in its 2017 rankings. Bell wants to be compensated not just for running the ball, but also paid in line with his pass-catching ability. The Steelers locker room named Bell their 2016 MVP.

IGN Presents the History of Terminator
May 20, 2009 - Terminator is the sci-fi series for the rest of us. While fans of Star Trek and Star Wars baffle those around them with esoteric discussions of a richly detailed universe only hinted at on-screen, Terminator delivers pure entertainment, strong characters, and leaves its messy back story to the imagination. Bone-crunching action, tense car chases, and big explosions made James Cameron's movies the kind of experience we could all get into.
Terminator Games: Past, Present, Future
May 5, 2009 - Forget Terminator – remember when Marty McFly travelled back to the year 1885, where Doc Brown was living as a blacksmith and Mary Steenburgen was supposed to die –and then she didn't and the whole future changed – but it was okay, because she fell in love with the Doc and had kids and they flew around time in their kick-ass flying, time-travelling train while Marty got a big, black truck and the hot broad from Fast Times at Ridgemont High? That was awesome.
The Terminator: Dawn of Fate
September 18, 2002 - When I initially discovered that Paradigm Entertainment was the developer behind Infogrames approaching action title based on the lucrative Terminator license, I couldn't have been happier. The same team responsible for my beloved Pilot Wings 64 cart on Nintendo 64 and masters of the racing genre, the technically savvy programmers had a reputation for skill in the videogame arena. What better company to tackle technology and the future than a studio that is already known for its own Skynet-like advancements itself?
Terminator: Dawn of Fate Hands-on
September 11, 2002 - While the third installment of the Terminator movie series will be hitting the big screen next summer, Infogrames will soon be releasing Terminator: Dawn of Fate for the PS2. As opposed to the movie continuing the storyline, Dawn of Fate will step back a few years just before Skynet has created time travel, and work it's way toward the events of the first movie.
