Is something in you aching to come out?
Was there a time when you felt more alive? Maybe for the longest time, you had assumed that your life was on course. Yet, today you look around you, and you feel like you have lost your bearings, you feel stuck, you yearn for a sense of direction.
Perhaps, you have recently faced an unexpected turn of events: an illness, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a job. Or maybe you have just been busy climbing the ladder to success, with the nagging feeling that it may be leaning against the wrong wall. For some of you, it may look like a midlife or quarterlife crisis.
You are smart. Why couldn't you find your own way out of this?
Indeed you probably can. We all possess the resources we need to find our own healing and meaning. Supportive friends and family members can help too. Yet the trap we often fall into is that when we encounter inner distress, we treat it like a physical problem: fix it up and sort it out so that we can get rid of it. But our internal lives do not work like the physical universe, and we find ourselves trapped deeper into the quicksand.
This is where talking to me can make all the difference. I will listen non-judgmentally and help you steer the course. I will also challenge you to push your own limits. In my research, I have found that questioning your own beliefs can help reduce stress. I can offer you some powerful tools that will help you break free of the fears and confusion that bind you.
Do you get the feeling that there may be something better awaiting you?
Would you like to:
– Reach your full potential
– Find meaning in your life
– Feel like you are finally alive
– Answer your calling
– Embark on your spiritual journey
Don't wait!

I remember being impressed at the idea of our continent being slowly built by bits and pieces of continents being added to it.
The idea of continents moving at all greatly shook up establishment of the day, but ultimately the evidence came in and had to be accepted.
Why do they start with the Idaho line as the former west edge of North America? Possibly because what I read was about the Pacific Northwest. The idea ultimately was accepted: Our state is a patchwork of bits and pieces of other continents, being slowly built as one moving bit after another was added to what was already here.
North America, some writers say, is moving west at the rate of about an inch a year. Parts of it, the Cascade Mountains, for instance, are moving upward from one to three inches a year.
We can tell that advancing scientific theories are being accepted when they make The National Geographic, as this one did a few years ago. Some nice sketches of the relative positions of continents and their component parts were laid out.
Tantalizingly, there was reference to this being not the first time this had happened, but those earlier positions thus far have not been established. Geology, we have been told repeatedly, tends

to erase earlier positions of things as they make new ones.
So there came, first, the section that holds the eastern west states, followed by the Okanogan Highlands, which left the western edge of the continent at what is now the Okanogan Highlands.
Included in this latest addition were two huge bodies of molten rock, the Kettle Dome and the Okanogan Dome, the latter making the new edge of the continent.
Later addition of the Cascades, says one source, arrived with spouting volcanoes in place. The range sutured itself to the continent, leaving the river which we call the Okanogan as a memory of the day when larger waters edged the country.
Rock on the two sides of the suture are totally different. If we can jump for a moment from the gargantuan scale of colliding continents to humans, the story is told that a woman and her husband, prospecting for homestead land, went from creek to creek, she with a bar of soap in her hand.
When she got a nice lather in soft water, she decided which place they would stay. If that delightful bit ever included her name, I haven't heard it.
If we can return to the larger scale, we are back to the Okanogan Highlands, running north up the older side of the valley. Between the Okanogan and Kettle domes ran a line of volcanoes, which erupted until they had emptied their reservoirs of lava and then collapsed upon themselves.
Drive the San Poil road in a sharp summer rainstorm and there will be baby waterfalls all up and down the valley, briefly.
But that's not the last word. The rock in the western exposure of the Okanogan Dome is currently identified as mylonite, according to "Northwest Exposures," by Alt and Hydman.
They say: "Mylonite, a type of metamorphic (altered) rock that crystallizes within a moving fault zone deep enough that the rock flows instead of breaking."
For years I misidentified it as gneiss (pronounced nice). There are beautiful exposures of it all up and down the Okanogan Valley, and in many other places up and down the Okanogan.
Hard, crystalline (contains thulite) and beautiful, it once edged the continent. Now, other rocks get the placement.
But that is another story.

Tak And The Power Of JuJu - GC - Review
Tak begins his adventure with the usual list of gameplay explanation. They're so silly (example: "To walk, push the control stick") that even the tour guide makes fun of them. As predicted, the tour guide is female, and is of a different species than the main character. She's a spiritual thing called a Juju, and will help you in your quest from time to time. Her words a bit annoying at first, but be patient, because she will shut up after you've progressed to a certain point.
As you test out the controls and figure out all that this game has to offer, your eyes will be impressed by the organic level designs. From the sky to the ground, everything is treated with the nicest of textures. Facial expressions and mouth animations are better than most of the big-budget, ultra-realistic games we see on the PC. That's partially because Tak uses lip-synching software that helps developers match the words more accurately. However, it is a little choppy in comparison to Jak II or Ratchet and Clank.
Also worth mentioning is the variety of characters, their designs, and their animation. You'll encounter lots of different kinds of animals, including a guerilla who like to bend trees. If you stand on the branch of a bent tree and wait a few seconds, the guerilla will let it go, catapulting Tak into the air. This gives Tak a quick and easy way to jump back and forth between platforms, especially those with huge gaps.
The gameplay is classic 3D adventuring, but it's not at all the Mario knock-off that you'd expect. There are items to collect, like big teeth (which act as four keys to unlocking a new area) and Magical Nubu Plants, but that's not what the game is about. The levels are on more of a set path than the ones in Mario or Jak II, but the game is not nearly as linear as Crash Bandicoot. What you end up having is a game that is somewhat open-ended, but presents the player with a clear and fairly easy path to decipher.
It's not always easy though. The enemies are a bit more vicious than most kiddie games. The Magical Nubu Plants aren't too difficult to beat since they stay in one place at all times. Rat-like creatures are more common though, and they follow Tak wherever he goes, mumbling creepy words just to taunt him. Several may attack at once!
Boss battles are another threat. The first boss fight is broken down into three separate battles with three giant Nubu plants. They're impervious to standard attacks when their neck is fully erect, and are impervious to jump attacks when their neck bent. The strategy to defeating them is not a hard one to figure out, but completing the task is far from easy. It'll take more than good timing to beat these and the other bosses in the game.
While Tak and the Power of Juju plays like an action/adventure, Tak's attack moves are more like Link's from The Legend of Zelda. He starts out with a club, swinging it back and forth like a sword but with less precision. Tak is then quickly awarded a Blowgun, followed by a weapon called the Spirit Rattle. The Blowgun is a great alternative to the club. For starters, Tak can use it to whack enemies to death. It's a stronger weapon, so enemies die even faster. Second, the Blowgun is a blowgun! Hit the Y button to switch to the first-person view, pick a target and shoot. Very Zelda-ish, wouldn't you say? Third, the Blowgun changes Tak's jump from a single or double hop to one giant leap. He uses the weapon to launch himself higher into the air. He can reach further distances with this new jump technique as well.
As you should fully understand by now, this kiddie game is so much more than a childish exterior. Truth be told, the sound effects really aren't that annoying. Adding to the surprises is the music, which turned out to be well worth listening to. It's so deep and involving, just like the music of a game should be. Even the voice-overs, which are geared at children, are not done in the usual, ultra-cheesy way that turns gamers off. Best of all, the gameplay is entertaining all the way through. This is a worthwhile experience for all fans of the genre.
Gameplay: 8.4
Not at all what I expected. I didn't expect this game to suck, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect a game based on a kiddie property to be able to compete with the big boys. This game was developed not with haste. It was created by a dedicated team who really knew what they were doing. That is evident throughout the game.
Tak's control mechanics are simple (duh, this is an action/adventure), but the game is not a weakling in the difficulty department. Whether it's a tough boss battle or just a series of relentless rat-like creatures who wish to taunt and chomp, Tak and the Power of Juju is a fairly challenging game.
The magical Juju powers add even more Zelda-ness to the game. Eagle Eye, one of the Juju powers, can turn the Blowgun into a telescope. Another Juju power adds the essence of thunder to your attacks. Still another works as a compass and points you in the direction of the nearest magical item.
Whether you're a kid by age, a kid at heart, or not a kid at all, you've got to play Tak and the Power of Juju.
Graphics: 8.5
Mario Sunshine aside, you won't find a prettier action/adventure on GameCube. It doesn't pull off any new graphic tricks, but it packs several of the effects you've seen spread out in a number of other GameCube games. Overall the game has a very polished look.
Sound: 8.5
Shock upon shock! It was one thing to be entertaining, but to have good sound was out of the question. Or so I thought. The music is very fitting to the mood. This could be the first game that makes younger gamers realize how important music is to gaming, and how good it can be when done right.
Difficulty: Medium
Concept: 8.5
Tak and the Power of Juju is anything but an average marketing ploy. This game builds brand awareness and expands it into a market that was previously unaware of its existence. But unlike the average movie or TV-based game, Tak is fun! And unique. And addictive. It's what an action/adventure should be. Like Vexx but with less frustration and more creativity.
Overall: 8.4
Calling all parents: when you go to the store to pick up a surprise game for your child this Christmas, consider the power of Tak. Tak and the Power of Juju appears to be a kiddie game, but it's much more than that. It's safe for the kids but it doesn't play like A Bug's Life or any other kiddie game. When the kids are sleeping you might want to carefully open the game, play it for a few minutes, re-seal it and stick it back under the tree. Or you could just leave it open and tell the kids that Santa brought it for you. Whatever you choose to do, chances are you and your family will really enjoy this game.

NORMAN, Okla. -- The competition to become the starting quarterback at the University of Oklahoma just became a two-man race.
OU coach Bob Stoops has confirmed that sophomore quarterback Kendal Thompson suffered a broken foot during Thursday morning's practice, knocking the sophomore out of the preseason battle to replace Landry Jones. Thompson, who could return early in the 2013 season after having surgery on Thursday, was set to battle junior Blake Bell and redshirt freshman Trevor Knight during preseason camp.
Bell and Knight will now only have to split reps two ways and see increased opportunities to impress coaches and win the job.
Bell, who earned the name Belldozer with 24 rushing touchdowns during his first two seasons at OU, has the most experience of the quarterbacks on the roster and likely has the edge over Knight due to his three years in Norman and overall experience with the Sooners' offensive concepts.
Nonetheless, it's unwise to count out Knight, who drew rave reviews during his redshirting season in 2012 as he ran OU's scout team. Knight was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2012 who turned down LSU, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and others to sign with the Sooners. Bell has also only attempted 20 passes in his career and hasn't thrown a touchdown pass.
Incoming freshman Cody Thomas is the other scholarship quarterback on the roster but faces long odds to insert his name into the competition.
The preseason injury is disappointing news for Thompson, who was poised to battle for the starting position and potentially make an impact on the program for his first time since stepping on campus in 2011.

In a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they'd better be ready for what comes right back at them.
©2007 Lee Child; (P)2007 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.
"Winning." (Publishers Weekly) "Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"The action is intense, the pace unrelenting, and the violence unforgiving. Child remains the reigning master at combining breakneck yet brilliantly constructed plotting with characters who continually surprise us with their depth." (Booklist)
"Bad Luck and Trouble"
This was the first Lee Child book I've ever read and really enjoyed. It was exciting, with twists and turns and a lot of action. It kept my attention the entire time. The narrator was pretty good, but, as usual, my complaint is trying to sound like a woman. It just can't be done. Other than that, really good.
"good entertainment"
This is what you want for a good listening experience, with twists and anticipation. Engaging narrator.
"good book"
we listened on a long road trip. good way to pass the time and avoid listening to your wife talk😆k
"A must for Reached fans!"
Great story! You don't want to take a break! on the edge of your seat the entire time
"Intriguing... Way to go Reacher"
But it's the typical character we want to be like. Can't get enough. Suspense with a touch of passion.
"Exactly what you want from a Jack Reacher novel"
no, never re-listen to any book.
No mercy to the bad guys.
Dick Hill did an awesome job on all voices. One of the best narrators out there.

The versatile settee
A settee is one of the most useful pieces of furniture. It can be used at the bottom of a bed, in a dining room or eating nook, in a living room if space is tight, an entryway or even a wide hallway. It's on my list of must haves when we eventually move to a new house. My choice would be to have one in my entryway and have a cushy spot for my guests to sit while they put there shoes on and off. I am in love with the first image. Isn't it gorgeous?

with about 16-17 milliliters of blood from the mom, which has about 100 billion cells of all different types, Drexler says. The company runs a physical process to filter out the red blood cells, separating the ones that don't have a nucleus, leaving about 1 billion cells.
Other companies at this point have used chemical or magnetic processes to separate out cells of interest, which have been too harsh for fetal cells, Drexler says. So Cellscape uses what it calls "optical enrichment" which uses a stain to highlight the nucleus under fluorescent lighting, in a high-resolution manner. This method is gentler, and allows the company to whittle down the sample down from 1 billion cells to about 1,000 cells for analysis, Drexler says.
And that's not the end. The fetal cells still need to be identified as distinct from the mother's. Cellscape does that by looking for a protein that is more heavily expressed in maternal cells, which it says is a core part of its intellectual property. Once they are sure they have "tens to hundreds" of cells from the fetus, and not the mom, then they go through the final steps. The DNA gets taken out for amplification through standard PCR methods, and the amplified DNA from the fetal cells is hybridized on a chromosomal microarray. The results are analyzed on an array scanner from Agilent Technologies. [Correction 3:15 pm PT: An earlier version said gene expression patterns are analyzed.]
By looking at certain targeted regions of the fetus's genome, Cellscape believes this method will be able to detect not only the chromosomal abnormalities that today's DNA-based methods spot, but also another 20-30 "microdeletion" syndromes in which a small stretch of DNA is missing or defective, Drexler says. (DiGeorge Syndrome is one example). Results from the sample should take about one week to send back to the doctor, Drexler says.
Cellscape has spent the past few years trying to nail down this process. It has run some blood samples through its system, but hasn't yet published the big kind of controlled clinical trial in a medical journal that would show its test is ready for prime time.
The stakes are about as high as it gets in medicine, as people make life-altering decisions based on prenatal diagnostic information. "We want to be 100 percent sure that the cells we say are fetal are actually fetal," Snelgrove says. Not only that, but you can be sure that physicians are going to want to double-check the results they get from a Cellscape analysis with another analysis that comes from a traditional invasive procedure, like CVS or amniocentesis, where there's no doubt about what kind of cells you're analyzing. "It's important to have a way to confirm the result," Drexler says.
Cellscape doesn't have traditional venture capital backing, but its investor group does include RA Capital, a Boston-based hedge fund. The company, still in R&D mode, has grown to 36 employees.
The next phase of growth for Cellscape is about gathering convincing data. The clinical trials that it develops to test its process will go a long way toward determining what kind of price it can command, and whether it can persuade insurers to pay for its product. If things move fast, Cellscape could hit the market by late 2014, but it is likely shooting for early 2015, Snelgrove says.
The day will come when Cellscape will want to tout its offering, but it's not ready yet. There's still a lot of work to do.
"51 companies failed to do this for a reason. It's hard to do," Snelgrove said. "It's hard for us to do. We want to make sure we have this nailed before we go forward."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Three-star cornerback T.J. Davis of Tallahassee (Fla.) Godby is hoping to be a part of a state championship team in 2011. The road to that goal began on Monday when the Cougars returned to the practice fields for the start of two-a-days.
"It was exciting," Davis said. "It was a little sluggish from vacation, but overall I think we put in a good practice."
With this being his final year at Godby, Davis understands he must do his part to lead his peers and raise up some of his younger teammates.
Article Continues Below
"I don't feel more pressure, just more responsibility," Davis said. "All of us seniors, that is our challenge, to motivate our team and lead by example as we try to win a championship."
Prior to fall practice rolling around, Davis traveled a good bit during the summer months. He visited Oregon on two occasions, once for Nike Track Championships and a second time for Nike's 'The Opening'. He also made his way to Auburn for two visits as well as South Alabama and Florida State for camps.
Gene Chizik's Auburn Tigers have made quite the impression on the 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back.
"Auburn is pretty good," Davis said. "Coach (Curtis) Luper is doing a great job recruiting me. I love their defensive staff, including Coach Ted Roof, a great defensive coordinator. Overall, it is just a good place to be."
Davis also enjoyed his time at his hometown school, Florida State, where he participated in a one-day session of the Jimbo Fisher Football Camp. He worked closely with defensive backs coach Mark Stoops.
"They told me I am a great player and that I can definitely play," Davis said. "They just talked to me about needing to work on extending my arm, my jab. They talked to me about things I need to work on."
Now with his senior season fast approaching, Davis talked about how he will whittle down his list of more than 30 options.
"I want to make at least three officials and then decide from there," Davis said. "Right now I have Notre Dame and Auburn set up. Those are the only two so far. I am going to the USC game for Notre Dame and the Florida game for Auburn. Right now I don't know who will get that third one - it is between Ohio State, Alabama, and Florida State."
Outside of those five schools - Notre Dame, Auburn, Ohio State, Alabama, and Florida State - Davis also said that TCU is amongst his favorites at this time. Out of those six schools, one has done enough to be considered his favorite.
"I would say Notre Dame is still leading a little bit," Davis said. "It is out-of-state. Also, I like the history of the school. The playing time looks great. They also have great coaches."
While the Fighting Irish claim the lead at this time, Davis said the margin isn't that great between them and the remainder of his top schools.
"Overall, they are all pretty even," Davis added.
As a junior, Davis indicated that he registered 80 tackles, three interceptions and 16 pass breakups.

The author and mind-body medicine guru tweets his daily intentions and his hundreds of thousands of followers benefit from messages like this morning's "to transform the world transform yourself."
At a dinner at Teatro Goldoni last night, hosted by Janet Donovan and Christine Warnke, FBDC asked Chopra if there's anyone in DC he's following on Twitter– for now, just President Obama.
Chopra, accompanied by his wife Rita, signed copies of his book "Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How To Create a New You."
Guests included: Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee, WaPo's Jonathan Capehart, Washington Life's Vicki Bagley, Democratic strategist Karen Finney, Kevin Chaffee, The Georgetowner's Beth Solomon, Pamela's Punch's Pamela Sorensen, Politico's Kiki Ryan, TWT's Stephanie Green and Liz Glover, US News and World Report's Washington Whispers' Jessica Rettig, the Examiner's Nikki Schwab and the National Endowment of the Arts' Jamie Bennett.

Someone should make a mod that empties pools, kills grass and adds graffiti to the Vercetti estate to make look abandoned, like what it would look like after tommy is dead.
Posted 17 April 2013 - 01:03 PM
Best would be to ask for such a thing in the Request Mod Thread of the III Coding forum.

PITTSBURGH, April 27 (UPI) -- Dwayne Roloson made 36 saves in a Game 7 shutout Wednesday to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 1-0 win over Pittsburgh and a berth in the conference semifinals.
Tampa Bay fell behind in the quarterfinal series 3-1 but Roloson finished off the comeback in his 40th playoff appearance. It was his second post-season save, the other one coming in 2006.
The Lightning won a playoff series for the first time since capturing the Stanley Cup seven years ago and they set up an Eastern Conference semifinal meeting with Washington.
The game's only goal came from Sean Bergenheim, who put a slap shot past Marc-Andre Fleury 5:41 into the second period. It was Bergenheim's third score of the playoffs.
Tampa Bay won three games in Pittsburgh during the series and began its comeback with an 8-2 blasting of the Penguins Saturday. The Lightning evened the series at home Monday with a 4-2 victory.
Roloson had only a 24-25 regular-season record in his first year with Tampa Bay. He came to the Lightning after spending two years in Calgary, two in Buffalo, three in Minnesota, four in Edmonton and one with the New York Islanders.
Fleury, who was in goal for all 16 of Pittsburgh's wins en route to the Stanley Cup two seasons ago, made 22 saves.
Pittsburgh had a disappointing season come to a close, one that saw the Penguins forced to play much of the campaign without superstar Sidney Crosby. He suffered a concussion on Jan. 5 and never returned.

Major League Baseball owners voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to authorize commissioner Bud Selig to begin the process of contracting two teams prior to the start of the 2002 season. Selig would not name any teams in particular, but all signs point to the Minnesota Twins and Montreal Expos being dissolved.
Union executive director Donald Fehr was not pleased with the decision. He called it "inconsistent with the law, our contract, and perhaps most important, the long term welfare of the sport."
Obviously, this news will have a trickle-down effect on the minor leagues. It seems that every affiliated minor league team will play in 2002. Contraction could still cause some major problems for the minor leagues.

GMA is public's chance to determine our future
In the heat of the recent City Council races, an Edmonds resident asked me if I was "happy with the Affordable Care Act." Rather than respond to the question posed by Mrs. Adair in a letter published in the Oct. 31 edition of the Edmonds Beacon, I will speak about a piece of legislation pertinent to our city.
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) was enacted into law in 1990 to stem the tide of suburban sprawl and direct future population growth into urban areas. The framers of the GMA saw the need to preserve agricultural lands and open space in the state's rural areas.
The GMA defines the criteria for determining whether a jurisdiction is classified as an Urban Growth Area (UGA). The UGA boundaries have been mapped by the state's Department of Ecology Geographic Information System (GIS) Technical Services Division.
Edmonds has been designated as a UGA and is required to welcome just over 5,000 new residents to our city. The State of Washington does not tell a city where to build new houses. That is the task of each jurisdiction.
To accommodate the population increase, Edmonds is required to prepare and periodically update a comprehensive plan that incorporates land use; residential development, including affordable housing; capital facilities; transportation, including walkways, trails, and bike lanes; economic development; parks and recreation.
In its wisdom, the state legislature recognized the need for each jurisdiction to preserve "critical areas" such as wetlands; marshes; bogs; frequently flooded lands; steep slopes; soils subject to liquefaction; fish and wildlife habitats; stream corridors and shorelines.
When formulating policies and plans, cities are asked to utilize "the best available science." The concept of relying on the latest advances in science allows municipalities to consider the effects of climate change as a factor in the planning process.
The GMA opens up the opportunity for regional planning, recognizing that watersheds, wildlife habitats, parks, and transportation corridors do not necessarily end at city or county boundaries. The GMA encourages cooperation among neighboring jurisdictions.
What does the GMA mean to the citizenry? The GMA requires each jurisdiction to incorporate citizen involvement into the development and updates of the comprehensive plan.
The GMA goes even further by requiring public participation during the implementation of the comprehensive plan components through zoning and other development regulations.
What does the GMA mean to city staff and elected officials? To be in accord with the GMA, it is necessary to develop a community outreach plan.
"The procedures shall provide for broad dissemination of proposals and alternatives, opportunity for written comments, public meetings after effective notice, provision for open discussion, communication programs, information services, and consideration of and response to public comments." (RCW 36.70A.140)
As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, let us thank the authors of our state's Growth Management Act.
The legislation is written in the spirit of Lincoln's speech recognizing that we are a "government of the people, by the people, for the people."

The lights are on
Every day is like Christmas for Payday: The Heist's cast of criminals. After all, ill-gotten bank deposit bags are a lot like wrapped gifts, even if the giver wasn't technically in a giving mood. The game's getting an update though, which just makes the holiday connotations official.
Gangs will be able to find hidden Christmas presents hidden throughout the multiplayer stages. Find them, and you can be the proud owner of your very own Santa mask. Terrifying! That's in addition to several new game enhancements, such as improved combat, drop-in action, new masks, and general gameplay tweaks. Check out the game's official site for more details.
We reviewed Payday: The Heist a while back, and it's a lot of fun on PC. The PS3 version, on the other hand, is a big ol' lump of...coal.

Apparel Industry Management
While earning his first FIDM Degree (in Apparel Management), Jeremy interned at Silver Star. This led to a full time position as Director of Production and Sourcing, which he continued while earning a Bachelor's degree from FIDM. In late 2010, Silver Star was acquired by Authentic Brands Group (ABG), a brand development and licensing company whose brands include Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Judith Leiber, Prince, Spyder, and Sportcraft. During the acquisition, Jeremy was asked to join the ABG marketing team in New York.
What are your job responsibilities? As Marketing Director at ABG, I collaborate with the sales and financial departments to set the yearly marketing budgets. With the sales, brand, and creative teams, we identify innovative marketing and licensing opportunities and execute on those to grow brand awareness and increase revenue. Some of the marketing initiatives include seasonal photo shoots, identifying ambassadors and sponsorship opportunities, implementing social/digital strategies, and executing retail/brand experiences.
How did FIDM help prepare you for your career? The most important thing FIDM taught me was to always stay determined and set a goal— and once you've accomplished that goal, set a higher goal. As a student, one of my teachers was able to get me a pass to attend MAGIC. At the show, I made it a goal to come back with an internship. I presented my resume, portfolio, and business card to several prospective companies, ultimately meeting the owners of Silver Star at the show and securing an interview for the following week.

A while ago we presented to you the upcoming XLarge x G-Shock collaboration watch, which is part of their new Summer 2009 collection. X-Girl also worked on the same watch, and since the gents version is black, the girls will of course get the white version. Subtle branding appears in pink on the dial as well as on the strap. Overall a pretty simple piece and we definitely prefer the white Atmos G-Shock, that we presented the other day.
Take a closer look at the X-Girl x G-Shock DW-5600 Watch after the jump.

812: Report of Review Findings for Quality Reviews of the RIO and the IRB
Serious or continuing noncompliance identified during an Internal Compliance Review or Ongoing Quality Monitoring Project will be verbally reported immediately to the UNR RIO Director. The chair of the IRB will be informed within five business days.
A draft of the Report of Internal Review Findings, prepared by the QI Officer who conducted the review, will be sent to the Director of the Research Integrity Office and the chair of the IRB within twenty business days of completing the review. The RIO Director will have five business days, or a mutually agreed upon duration, to provide an explanation of the circumstances (extenuating or otherwise) that could account for certain findings, and an acknowledgement of findings requiring correction.
Once the findings in the draft report are agreed upon by the RIO Director and QI Officer, changes, if any, will be made to the report and the final Report of Review Findings will be issued to the RIO Director.
If a corrective action is indicated in the Final Report of Review Findings, the QI Officer will recommend a corrective action plan. If the RIO Director follows the recommendation, corrective actions may be implemented immediately upon notifying the QI Officer. Changes to the recommended corrective action plan must be submitted to and approved by the QI Officer prior to implementation. The RIO Director must notify the QI Officer that corrective actions have been finalized within ten (10) days of completion.
Through review or discussion of the Director's notification of completion, the QI Officer confirms that the Corrective Plan has been successfully implemented and sends a close-out letter to the RIO Director and to the IRB Chair. The IRB will be notified on an upcoming meeting agenda.
If the QI Officer determines that non-compliance occurred but is unable to determine that it was only minor, non-continuing non-compliance, the Final Report of Review Findings and Corrective Action Plan will be reviewed by the IRB chair.
If the IRB Chair cannot determine that only minor, non-continuing non-compliance occurred, the Final Report of Review Findings and Corrective Action Plan will be sent to the full IRB at a scheduled meeting.
Once the Final Report of Review Findings has been reviewed and a Corrective Action Plan approved, the RIO Director will be directed in writing to implement the corrective action plan within no more than thirty (30) calendar days. A shorter term for implementation may be appropriate when quick action is necessary to protect research participants.
Through review or discussion of the Director's notification of completion, the QI Officer confirms that the Corrective Plan has been successfully implemented and sends a close-out letter to the RIO Director.

My second grade science project was a bit different from what the other students did. While my pint-sized competitors presented projects on seed germination and laundry detergent effectiveness, my project was simple: ones and zeros. The other kids had elaborate presentations with colorful charts and photos. I had two items on my presentation table: a stack of 256 note cards and a row of eight lights from radio shack. I used these items to illustrate the simple yet powerful nature of binary code. Every word or picture that you see on your computer screen is actually a long strand of binary code. At the time, I didnt know how powerful it was, and neither did the judges. But God knew, and He had big plans in store.
Almost a decade later, I was sitting at the dinner table at my brothers apartment on New Years Eve. As my family was talking, the topic of e-mail came up. I loved e-mail, but was really tired of all of the stories and jokes that were being passed around through e-mail. We brainstormed about what else could be done with it, and came up with the idea to send a daily Bible verse through e-mail each day. That year in my freshman dorm room, I began one night by sending out a Bible verse via e-mail to 11 people, most of which were my family.
My subscription list grew, so I set up a free web site to help populate my list as well as handle subscriptions. In November of that year I started Verseoftheday.com, and the daily devotional grew by leaps and bounds. Two years and millions of mouse-clicks later, I joined the Heartlight team with over 10,000 subscribers who received my daily e-mail consisting of a Bible verse and proverb. While the story about how I joined the team is a good one, the story about how I found them is better.
The same year I started Verse of the Day, I had heard in a chapel service about thirteen Christians imprisoned in Laos. I was moved by the story, and had to find more information. I browsed the Internet to try and learn more about the situation. Thats when I stumbled upon the Heartlight web site. They had set up a daily news report about the situation in Laos, sharing news of the events with thousands of Christians. I was in awe. I had seen a glimpse of what God was doing through the Internet, and I wanted to be a part of it.
When I met Phil and Paul for the first time, I knew from the beginning that they were genuine. They were fun, smart, and down to earth. But most of all, they were men of God, possessing a sense of mission. We share many things in common: a love for Dr. Pepper, a love for music, but most importantly, a love for God and a willingness to serve Him. Its that love actually, the love that God has for each of us that keeps us going. Sometimes its tough. Other times I feel like no one cares. Often I want to give up. Its at those times when the Spirit gently reminds me that were doing something great, and when what youre doing really matters, its never easy. However, with God by our side, we have done and will continue to do great things for His kingdom.
My binary code project got a 2nd Place ribbon, the equivalent of a B. I remember being upset about it. Those note cards took a long time to make, and the judges didnt seem to consider my hard work! But looking back on it, Im eternally grateful that I chose that project. The binary code I learned was simple, but powerful. Ive come to realize that Heartlight is exactly the same. Put together a few humble souls with a desire to make an impact on the web, and God can do great things even with ones and zeros.

Used to enjoy tracking down old school and work friends, but this site is so unwieldy to use I normally give up after a few minutes. I spend a lot of time on social networking sites, but can't believe how confusing they have managed to make things. What a pity as the concept should be a winner.

History credits J.W. Hanna with lead role in new community
An obituary published July 23, 1910, in The Denver Times credits pioneer J.W. Hanna for founding Cortez.
The obituary headline reads: "Empire Builder Dies of Dropsy; J.W. HANNA, PIONEER, DEAD; Old G.O.P. Leader and Discoverer of Montezuma Valley; SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IN 1890; Established Town of Cortez and Made Fortune in Mines."
Later published in Volume 1 of the Montezuma County Historical Society's "Great Sage Plain to Timberline" series, the obituary provides the following description of Hanna's contributions to the Montezuma Valley:
"James W. Hanna, a pioneer of Colorado, at one time the leader of the Republican party in this state, discoverer of Montezuma Valley and founder of the town of Cortez, died yesterday morning at his residence, 1242 Washington Street, of dropsy, after an illness of more than a year.
"Hanna was 67 years of age. He was born in Cadiz, Ohio. He came to Colorado after the close of the war, during which he served with distinction under Generals McClellan and Rosecrans, with the Ohio volunteers commanded by Colonel Collins, who established the fort that was afterward named after him.
"Shortly after his company was mustered out, he went into the mining, land and irrigation business. His political career also had its inception at that time. He was the exploiter of the Montezuma Valley, now one of the richest fruit and agricultural sections of the state, and was the founder of the town of Cortez, which he also named. He was the promoter of the famous Montezuma canal, which to this day irrigates the greater part of the Montezuma Valley. He sold out his extensive interests in the Montezuma country, which had returned him a fortune, twenty-two years ago, and went into the mining business. He also garnered a fortune from the earth and was one of the largest operators of the state."
"In later years the wealth that he had made in land, irrigation and mining was lost through a number of unfortunate mining ventures, and he died with but a small portion of the fortune that he had won during the early days.
"Twenty-seven years ago he resided on the corner of Seventeenth and California streets, where is now located the California building. In 1890 he was elected to the Eighth general assembly from Arapahoe County, and was made speaker of the House of Representatives.
"Though he had been a sufferer from dropsy for many years he was ever active in the various mining and irrigation schemes in which he was interested, and only a little over a year ago was compelled to retire.
"He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna E. Hanna, two daughters, Jessie I. and Alice C. Hanna and two sons, Howard W. and Louis E. Hanna."

Shall Noise Upon
World's Fair
I like this album. It kind of had a country sound on some of the songs, which I like. And I didn't turn it off… is that a compliment? Wait, okay, I just looked at pictures of them on their Web site and they look really cool, like hippies. A few songs sounded like a whole different band. That's weird. I like the title track "Shall Noise Upon"—it's nine seconds long and I played it about five times in a row. It was definitely the greatest thing on the album. Nine-second songs are just high jinks and it's over quick. Peace and love. As long as they have fun playing and have passion, I like them. Go pick it up, because they look broke.—Andrew Reynolds

Trade and Spatial Growth: the Nexus that was not missing
Trade leads to an acceleration of economic growth as well as to its spatial concentration. While tradegrowth nexus has been the primary focus in trade analyses, until the recent past spatial growth concentration has received little space there. It appears that the simplifying assumptions of trade models and analyses have become the main stumbling blocks that push spatial growth away from trade theory. It is the rapid change in the shape of the world economy led by trade liberalization and global integration that have created this space to place intra-national economics within the premises of international economics. Spatial growth within trade analyses was, however, not bizarre to trade theory. Bertil Ohlin as well as his teacher, Eli Heckscher ? the coauthors of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of comparative advantage ? did not miss the point that comparative advantage is based on location-specific factors. The analyses of the locations of production and economic geography seem to have missed the early contribution to the subject by Ohlin and Heckscher who were not confined themselves by the simplifying assumptions of their own trade theory. The paper derives from its literature review that the benefits of agglomeration, the costs of connectivity, the degree of factor mobility, and the size of the markets are essential components that form centripetal forces of spatial growth concentration.

Couple attacked by native bowman
A young couple who took a dip in a river in a remote part of Papua New Guinea are recovering from a harrowing attack by a tribesman, who shot the man with arrows before attempting to sexually assault the woman.
A doctor who treated the couple said the tribesman had been covertly tracking the pair before the attack near Nomad in the isolated North Fly District.
He fired an arrow at Matt Scheurich as the 28-year-old New Zealander relaxed on a river bank while his girlfriend, a French student studying tribal life, swam in the river.
The first arrow hit Scheurich on the right side of his chest, Dr Charlie Turharus said. The tribesman then emerged from his hiding spot and fired a second arrow at Scheurich which hit him in the left side of his chest and deflected down into his stomach.
"Normally they use these arrows for hunting, for shooting at cassowaries and bears," Dr Turharus said.
Cassowaries are large, flightless birds native to Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The tribesman also threw rocks at Mr Scheurich's head, the doctor said. The tribesman then attempted to sexually assault the French woman, but she managed to bite his hand and run to a nearby village, where she activated a personal locator beacon.
Fortunately, an airstrip was nearby. Mr Scheurich was rescued from the riverside where he was "bleeding in pain and in agony" after ripping the arrows from his body, the doctor said.
But bad weather prevented the pair from being transported to a large regional hospital, Rumginae, and the couple were instead taken to the small and basic Kiunga Hospital where Dr Turharus operated.
The woman suffered minor injuries to her hand and arm as well as scrapes to her legs.

In Reply to: I was at a chiropractor's lair posted by ESC on September 08, 2004
: : : : Hi,
: : : : What is the name of the workshop of a chiropractor?
: : : : a saloon? a shop? orr....
: : : : thanks a lot in advance
: : : A charlatans lair?
: : I think you mean "salon", which is defined as "a stylish business establishment or shop", instead of "saloon" which is a tavern or bar.
: : But I wouldn't say "salon". I'd say "office" here in the northeastern U.S., although Flyguy's alternative is applicable if you have insurance.
: Office.
Lair. Haha, you sound like you have some bad experiences. Personally, I LOVE my chiropractor (well metaphorically speaking).
Here(in the land of Oz), we'd say 'rooms'. Much like a doctor. Although this term always amuses me when there is in fact only one room. We also say, Chiropractor's surgery sometimes, which is to me a chronic misnomer. But I can only assume it's a carry-over from doctor's surgery - which is also generally a misnomer when referring to a clinic or GP (general practice). But, nonetheless, it's a common thing to say here.

text: Well, I hope this is the right place to put up this topic. I'm new here, and rather new to the bass as well (hello!). I play in a three-piece band with a guitarist and a drummer, and somehow I got delegated to vocals as well. The three of us are ex-colleagues (we've all left our old job) and the drummer and I are both relative beginners to our craft. However, we have a wicked guitarist who is willing to put all into the band, but even though he sounds good, somehow I personally feel that the two of us are holding him back with our mediocrity. We have discussed this issue with him before but he says that it's fine as long as we practice. So far we've managed to write 3 songs, somehow, although our demos are of really crappy quality. The guitarist wants to quickly record them in a proper studio, along with another song, so we can release an EP. I still feel that our sound is not polished enough, though. So my question is, how do you know and when can you tell when you're ready to release your music to the public?

Wife, mother, piano teacher. Born June 8, 1935, in Brantford, Ont.; died Sept. 19, 2013, in Toronto of ovarian cancer, aged 78.
It was the fall of 2008, and we had just finished planting tulip bulbs in the front garden. They were bright yellow, spaced in groups of six around the perimeter. "I will not live to see these bloom in the spring," Sondra said.
She had just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after six months of feeling poorly and knowing something was not right. Then came visits to the doctor and twice to the emergency room before a biopsy showed the cancer had spread. After bouts of chemotherapy, a CT scan confirmed she was in remission.
Springtime came in 2009 and Sondra stood in front of the tulips for a photo.
Born in Brantford, Ont., Sondra was one of two daughters of Marion and Reginald Verity. Marion was a soloist who was well known as an opera singer, giving concerts locally and in Ottawa. Reginald was a banker.
Sondra took piano lessons throughout her school years and won many awards at local festivals. Her inherited musical talent took her to the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where she lived in residence. She graduated with her coveted ARCT degree in 1955 and taught there briefly before leaving to marry and start a family.
With her son and daughter, Stephen and Martha, grown and raising families of their own, Sondra decided to teach talented children piano, giving private lessons one-on-one in their homes. She tutored these budding piano players to win many awards and to see them eventually obtaining their own music degrees.
Remarried to Howard Annis in 1995 and living in Thornhill, Ont., Sondra enjoyed life with her family and two grandchildren. She was always keen on taking trips to Europe, Florida and New York. In September, 2009, we took a family trip to Las Vegas – all eight of us. Live theatre and music concerts were always mixed in between.
Another year the yellow tulips came up, and the annual photo of Sondra standing before them was taken.
After three years, the chemo sessions began again. The photos before the tulips became a ritual.
Last August, Sondra knew she was getting weaker. She organized a pre-Christmas party for the whole family on the patio deck; it was a great success.
Each chemo treatment was lasting only half the time of the previous one. She was now always tired and sleeping more than half the day. In spite of going to yoga lessons and to the local gym to work out with a fitness trainer, her legs were getting weaker and she needed a walker or an arm for balance. The pain spread to her legs and the medications to control it were not working.
Her doctor ordered her into the hospital just as she was in the process of requesting assisted home care. The pain was placed under control at the hospital, but mobility was out of the question.
There are five photos of Sondra standing in front of the tulips. Next spring the flowers will come up but no photo will be taken.
Howard Annis is Sondra's husband.

The Fix is it genius ... or insane?
People across America are talking about The Fix, or its official name, the Patriotic Retirement Plan.
It's not something I've heard much about in our area, but it's a hot topic of discussion in other places.
The Fix is a proposed answer to the big question of how to fix the American economy.
The answer didn't come from one of Obama's high priced economic advisors. And it didn't come from a professor of economics.
Instead, the answer came from a newspaper reader in Florida. I'm not sure, but he's probably a Baby Boomer.
It all began when the business section of the St. Petersburg Times asked readers the simple question, "How would you fix the economy?'
They received all kinds of answers. But one in particular stood out, and has since gone viral.
Here's The Fix:
"Dear Mr. President, please find below my suggestion for fixing America's economy.
"Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:
"There are about 40 million people over age 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American car. Forty million cars ordered - Auto industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing crisis fixed.
"It can't get any easier than that!
"P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of Congress pay their taxes. Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!"
So there you have it.
When I first read it, two things came to mind. First, many say there is a fine line between genius and insanity. Secondly, the answer to the most confounding questions is sometimes right in front of our noses.
In a way, I agree with many who are saying the solution is pure genius.
After all, the U. S. government already has invested our tax dollars in banks, the auto industry, foreign wars, Wall Street and all kinds of things, some questionable.
Why not finally invest in the American worker, especially those workers over 50 who've spent the past decades paying into the system?
But critics are saying The Fix is insane.
They say it's too expensive. Giving one million dollars to 40 million near-retirees would end up costing 40 trillion dollars. That's higher than the national debt, which is somewhere around 13 trillion.
On the other hand, what would it cost us if the entire economy fails? And hasn't that already happened? There are many questions.
Is The Fix ingenious? Is it the correct solution right in front of our noses?
Or is it insane?
What are your thoughts?

I'm lucky to be good friends with several very important book reviewers.
Like my neighbor, Ashley.
At 3:47 PM each Monday through Friday, as we wait at the bus stop for the big kids to come home, six-year-old Ashley recounts the books read aloud in her first grade classroom that day.
Don't let the pigtails fool you. You thought Kirkus was tough? You haven't heard Ashley.
But last month, Ashley bestowed her first starred review:
"And it was really, really good!"
My mouth hung open.
I knew that book.
I loved that book—back when I had pigtails.
Thumbs clumsy with excitement, I fumbled my way through an Alibris search on my phone.
"That's it!" said Ashley. "Order it!"
I did. And the waiting (and whining) began.
For days, cries of "But why isn't it here yet?" echoed around our neighborhood.
"Be patient," said Ashley.
"No," I pouted.
But finally, the package arrived.
I ran to the bus stop.
I tore open the padded mailer.
And there it was:
MORE SPAGHETTI, I SAY! by Rita Golden Gelman, illustrated by Jack Kent (Scholastic, 1977).
"Read!" commanded Ashley.
We plunked down on the curb. I opened the cover—and two wires in my brain connected.
It had been *mumble mumble mumble* years since I'd held a copy of this book, but suddenly, I remembered the words before I read them.
I remembered the pictures before I saw them.
And I remembered how they worked together.
Humor. Friendship. Rhythm. Repetition. Brevity. The power of the page turn. The fun satisfaction of a mirror story.
All the elements I try to use in my own writing.
And this was one of the places I'd learned it first.
"Wow," I whispered.
I couldn't wait to write that night.
Ashley smiled. "Told you it was good," she said.
So, awesome writers, as you seek inspiration this month while creating the books of the future, don't forget to revisit the books of your past, too!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get a little writing done before making dinner.
We're having spaghetti.
Ame Dyckman LOVES picture books. Sometimes she'll even put them down long enough to write one of her own: BOY + BOT, illustrated by Dan Yaccarino (Knopf; 2012); TEA PARTY RULES, illustrated by K.G. Campbell (Viking; Fall, 2013), WOLFIE AND DOT (working title), illustrator TBD (Little, Brown; TBD).
Ame lives in New Jersey with her family, pets (including a demanding-but-adorable squirrel named Willie) and book collection. Visit Ame at amedyckman.com, or on Twitter @AmeDyckman, where she Tweets "PB book reviews and random goofy thoughts."
Ame is giving away a signed copy of BOY + BOT plus SWAG—bookmark, sticker, "Affirmative!" bracelet and mini Frisbee! Comment on this post AND complete the challenge to be entered (you'll be asked to take the "PiBo Pledge" on December 1st to verify you have 30 ideas). A winner will be randomly selected in early December. Good luck!
I'm looking forward to having a "Blast from the Past." in order to gain a new idea for today.
Always love going back to my old favorites, the favorites from when I babysit, my nieces favorites, and even my children's' favorites! Great reminder! Hmmm…spaghetti tomorrow. Dinner solved.
Sounds like time to check in with my grandkids to review some of their "old" favorites. Nice post, thanks.
Love this! Every PB writer needs their very own Ashley:) Thanks for the great post, Ame!
Yes! I love that book. I recently revisited another book called Too Much Noise. I remembered listening to the record and looking at the pictures. Brought me right back to the magic.
A "sticky" book is a good book!
I've gone back to reading my 'George and Martha' books recently. This post has inspired me to revisit a few more of those childhood gems. Thanks, Ame!
This really resonated with me. Over the past few months, I've been sharing some picture books from my own childhood with my daughter. Books that had left my (conscious) memory long ago, came flooding back and I can clearly see how some of them have influenced my (natural?) voice.
I used this book when I was a teacher!! Very fun. Thanks for this post to revisit our beloved books.
Ah man. Ame cracks me UP! Loved the twist on the whining bit. =) That is the best sensation, to revisit the books from our childhood. I felt that way recently about Mercer Mayer's THERE'S A NIGHTMARE IN MY CLOSET. It all clicked. Great post Ame! Thanks Tara!

If you notice your waistline is getting bigger, you may have a new excuse – "seasonal depression" during winter makes people eat more.
Australian research just released said more than half of men and a third of woman expect to tip the scales at least 5kg heavier by the end of winter.
Psychologist Dr Alice Boyes said depression was rife in winter and could make fattier foods more appealing.
"It is called seasonal depression. People are looking for things to pick them up and when you are stuck in the office on a winter day you are more likely to make poorer choices.
"People don't have the sources of pleasure as well. There isn't as much socialising, but much more sitting around and eating and drinking."
The price of food is another factor in poor food choices, with salad ingredients costing much more. "People choose to cook winter vegetables in more hearty ways, like roasting. It isn't as healthy as a salad in summer," Boyes said.
The cold weather could interrupt exercise routines and trigger comfort eating, with the temptation to snack on fatty and sugary foods hard to resist.
"It can be very tempting to grab a fast, high-fat takeaway on the way home on a colder winter's night," said nutritionist Bronwen Anderson.
Exercise also suffered as it got colder, with 62 percent saying if it was below 14°C they would not exercise.
Anderson urged people to keep exercising regardless of the weather.
"Keep moving and make sure that there is exercise in every day whether that means parking a little further away from the supermarket door, taking the stairs instead of the lift or joining a local gym or exercise class." – New Zealand Herald
l Steam vegetables instead of roasting or frying.
l Make vegetable soups and freeze them for late nights.
l Snack on lower calorie options like carrot sticks or plain popcorn.
l Add fruit to winter breakfasts such as porridge.
l Choose lean meat and fish for casseroles.
l Avoid high-calorie desserts such as puddings.

The state agency that oversees law enforcement training standards says the Freestone County sheriff routinely submitted documents falsely claiming that deputies completed mandatory training.
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education said Monday that several deputies were given credit for training they did not complete.
Sheriff Thomas Anderson was indicted last week and turned himself in to authorities. Indictments in the case contend the falsified reports were submitted beginning in September 2011.
Anderson only took office in January but the commission says he was previously the department's training officer. Also indicted was sheriff's Capt. Travis Robertson. They each are charged with multiple counts of tampering with government records. Online courts records do not indicate attorneys for the men.
Freestone County is about 80 miles southeast of Dallas.

#1 Valentines Love Song: Patsy Cline, "Crazy" (VIDEO)
This morning we counted down the list of Top 100 Love Songs for Valentines Day.
Now, I know there are many lists of all sorts out there. But this was pretty comprehensive. The source polled 4,000 DJs, wedding planners, chapels, and music websites. The final list covers all eras and genres.
I mentioned all the songs this morning, and they included "Kiss From A Rose" (Seal), "Time After Time" (Cyndi Lauper), "At Last" (Etta James), "Just the Way You Are" (Billy Joel), "Soul and Inspiration" (Righteous Brothers), "Let's Get It On" (Marvin Gaye), and "I Will Always Love You" (Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston). The lucky songs I actually played were the songs that landed "on the tens."
They were:
