While waiting on the electrician to rewire the Hawthorne kitchen, we cleaned up some basement water damage in Gresham. The boys gingerly took down the cabinets before pulling the drywall off the ceiling. We put in new can lights and sealed the walls before putting everything back together, better than we found it.
Bathroom in Gresham
Fenced In
Recently finished fence in West Linn. Maybe Lexie will stay in the yard now.
The Biggest Job Yet
Bungalow Bathroom
This week, we retrofitted an old bathroom in Northeast Portland. The old clawfoot tub was replaced with a walk in shower. It doesn't have the same historical charm, but the shower is far more practical when you're soaking wet.

"Good News Bob" Ochterbeck is a genuine native Houstonian who has lived in the Houston area all his life. At age 15 he began working summers for the automotive accessory business his dad started in downtown Houston in 1946, Ochterbeck Distributing Co., Inc. After graduating from Memorial High School, he then earned his 4-year business degree from TCU in Fort Worth, and immediately went to work full time for the family business, although his passion was real estate. For many years he and his brother Lloyd managed the company, eventually expanding to five locations around the Houston area.
But eventually the lure of real estate drew him to obtain his salesperson's license in 2003 where he started his career at Keller Williams Realty of The Woodlands. Applying his training and Keller Williams' methods, he quickly grew his business as he developed a reputation for integrity while working patiently with his clients through every step of the selling or buying process.
What makes Bob Ochterbeck different?
In addition to knowing the real estate market, the trends, and how to negotiate a contract to his client's advantage, Bob is highly tech savvy, he uses cutting edge technology & social media to market his listings for sellers and find properties for his buyers. In fact, Bob has earned the Houston Association of Realtors' Social Media Professional (SMP) designation.
Bob is also known as an expert communicator. He carefully breaks down each step of the buying or selling process for you, his client, so they can be easily understood. And he keeps you engaged in the process so you can make knowledgeable decisions you can be confident of!
And, simply stated, Bob loves people! He always has a genuine concern for the best interest of each of his clients, no matter their position, wealth, or status. He will take care of you, too!
As mentioned, Good News Bob has taken classes on social media marketing, and has earned HAR's Social Media Pro designation so his clients can best benefit from the latest cutting edge technologies for marketing listings for his sellers and researching available properties for his buyers. Bob also maintains a current database of area Realtors' email addresses for more effective direct marketing of his listings than most agents offer.
Bob and his beautiful wife Jane have home schooled all seven of their incredible children, two of whom are married. Their oldest son Jonathan works full time in Houston and is also earning his second degree in chemical engineering from the University of Houston. Their daughter Julie is a missionary to Belfast, N. Ireland, U.K., bringing the love, hope, and healing of Jesus Christ to the troubled youth of that nation. Son Jeremy works offshore in the Gulf and is recently married to precious Mayra, a native of Mexico. Daughter Melody lives at home and is very active as a church youth leader and sings on the church worship team. Daughter Emily married Marcus in 2014 and both have full time jobs while attending Lone Star College in the Woodlands/Magnolia area. And their twins, Rachel and Rebekah, are high school freshman who love theater and have performed in musicals such as Narnia and Music Man with National Youth Theater and Christian Youth Theater. Their dog, Marshall, loves to play fetch with his ball over and over and actually brings it back each time for another throw! And finally, their two cats, Topaz and Fudge, pretty much do what cats do, which is sleep and lounge most of each day.
Bob is a founding Elder in his church, Freedom Fellowship on FM 1488, and active in the men's ministry. He and three fellow businessmen members recently began meeting weekly to pray for each other's businesses and opportunities to minister the love of God in their workplaces.
Knowing you have freedom of choice, why should you choose Good News Bob for your real estate needs? Experience + integrity + communication + knowledge + care & concern + corny jokes = FUN! Real estate transactions can be intense and stressful, but Good News Bob breaks the process down into manageable steps while focusing on your ultimate goal—the final closing!

Condemned murderer Jack Edward Alderman's latest challenge offers no new evidence and should be dismissed, prosecutors contended Monday.
"The evidence is not as material as to produce a different verdict, the evidence is cumulative of trial testimony and the evidence just impeaches the credibility of a witness," Chief Assistant District Attorney David Lock argued in a 29-page petition filed in Chatham County Superior Court.
And, the state argues, the evidence could have been discovered before trial.
The motion urges Judge Michael Karpf to dismiss Alderman's extraordinary motion for a new trial.
An extraordinary motion seeks to present new evidence not previously considered in a bid to overturn the conviction and sentence.
Alderman's latest challenge attacks his co-defendant, John Arthur Brown, as a man with long-standing mental illness who was prone to violence. The defense contends Brown's testimony was influenced by an undisclosed deal with prosecutors.
Alderman, 56, remains on Georgia's death row in the Sept. 21, 1974, slaying of his wife, Barbara Jean Alderman, 20.
A Chatham County Superior Court jury convicted Alderman and recommended the death sentence June 14, 1975.
After a federal appellate court returned the case for a new sentencing hearing, a second jury again sentenced Alderman to death on April 1, 1984.
Prosecutors contend Alderman killed his wife for insurance.
His execution, initially scheduled for last October, was stayed indefinitely by the state Supreme Court due to pending challenges on the use of lethal injection in the U.S. Supreme Court.
The state's response states Alderman earlier filed an extraordinary motion for new trial Feb. 17, 1984, then dismissed it.
A second such motion is not allowed by law, Lock said in his motion.
Karpf has not scheduled a hearing on the motion.
Lock argued Monday, citing the high court's ruling in the Troy Anthony Davis case, that the court is not required to set a hearing on the motion where the petition "fails to show any merit."
Brown, also convicted and sentenced to die, subsequently was granted a lifetime parole and ordered not to return to Chatham County.
He committed suicide at his New York home Feb. 7, 2000.

Two Blackpool police officers have been given National Police Bravery awards for risking their lives trying to stop two men throwing themselves off 50ft high scaffolding.
Sgt Rick Frith and Det Con Kim Carbutt responded to reports two men in their 20s were sat at the top of scaffolding, around the wedding chapel on Blackpool Promenade, now known as Festival House.
Officers had been told one of the men was a patient at Parkwood Hospital, which cares for people with mental health problems, and that he and his friend had entered a suicide pact.
The pair were sat with cord around their necks, 50ft in the air on scaffolding that had no safety barriers and were described as being in a very agitated state.
Det Con Carbutt and Sgt Frith entered the construction site at around 4.30am on a day in May 2011 and climbed up around 30ft to the floor below the pair.
Keeping calm, they managed to talk down one of the men.
However, the second man refused and lowered himself through a gap in the scaffolding boards so he was dangling only by a cord around his neck.
Det Carbutt instinctively grabbed the man by reaching into the gap supporting himself only by grabbing hold of a metal pole.
The patient, who had momentarily lost consciousness, was pulled on to the scaffolding and the officers cut the cord from his neck.
When he came round he started struggling violently, telling them he wanted to go over the side.
At this point both officers were in danger of falling but they managed to restrain the man and bring him down safely.
The man was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and went on to receive treatment.
Rachel Baines, chairman of Lancashire Police Federation, said: "The actions of these two officers were extremely brave, they put their lives at risk and showed tremendous courage in order to save a life. The people of Lancashire should quite rightly be proud of them both".
The pair's "tremendous bravery" was recognised at a special award ceremony in Downing Street attended by both the Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May.
Sgt Frith was nominated for Community Beat Manager of the Year back in 1999 when he was the beat officer responsible for Grange Park.
Then he was also invited to London, to St James' Palace, where he was introduced Prince Charles.
The 18th Police Bravery Awards, hosted in partnership with The Police Mutual Assurance Society, honours Police Officers across England and Wales for their actions to tackle criminals and keep the public safe.
"We did what any other officer would do..."
Father-of-three Sgt Rick Frith, 43, has been a police officer for 18 years. He said: "This was an extremely frightening incident and an incident doesn't leave you easily.
"We were simply doing our job and I'm sure that anyone who saw a fellow human being in such a state of despair would have done everything they could to help."
Det Con Kim Carbutt, 44, a father-of-two added: "It was a very humbling experience to visit Downing Street and be in the company of so many officers who have shown extreme acts of bravery.
"It is a huge privilege to be nominated for the award but I am sure any of my colleagues would have done the same."

Holy Land: soon there will be no trees in Gaza
As the ceasefire with Hamas approaches its final hours, Israel yesterday launched a full scale offensive involving armored vehicles and aircraft in Gaza, the Missionary News Service (MISNA) report.
Fifteen people were arrested in the West Bank near Nablus. One Palestinian was killed and another wounded.
Israel has justified the attacks as a response to the resumption of missile launches, while Palestinians blame Israel of having killed a member of Islamic Jihad in the West Bank.
"Here in Gaza, this is just the dramatic daily routine, a lethal circle" Tamir al-Bahari, from the NGO Educaid, told MISNA. "We all hope the ceasefire will be prolonged and we also hope that the Israelis will reopen the borders".
He said: " There are massive shortages. The population is only surviving thanks to humanitarian aid from the UN and other agencies."
"What little manages to get through the tunnels that separate us from Egypt, is not enough to satisfy the minimum needs of children; there is no meat, milk, baby food, medicines. At night we light candles, we have no more than eight to ten hours of electricity a day".
In Gaza, there is also a growing scarcity of gas and when it is available it comes at ever more prohibitive prices: "Now" , said al-Bahari "people are burning fresh wood. If it continues like this, in three weeks there will no longer be a single tree left in Gaza".
Meanwhile, as UNRWA said it has not been able to deliver aid to the people of Gaza on account of further restrictions imposed by Israel.
On Tuesday, the spokesman of the Ezzedine al-Qassam brigades (the armed branch of the movement) said the decision about prolonging the ceasefire would be taken in the next few days. Ismail Haniyeh, head of the government in Gaza, said that the ceasefire also includes open talks with Egypt and other Palestinian groups.
Calling for the revival of the Israeli Palestinian peace process, Italian president Giorgio Napolitano has asked the international community "not to spare any effort in support of peace" at a time when "the talks are undergoing an extremely delicate phase".

I really do believe that at least part of the problem of people distrusting science has to do with how we as scientists portray ourselves.
We have actively created a system where we derive authority from being seen as better/smarter/more competent than everyone else and then when people ask why they should trust us we respond with a very condescending version of 'because SCIENCE IS FACT' or something along those lines.
Like, consider how that would feel from the outside? Here are a small group of people who you have never met/interacted with who sequester themselves in impenetrable ~elite institutions that you can't access and don't feel party to who then tell you that what they say is fact because they're smarter and better educated than you. And if you ever try to question them (no matter how reasonable your objections may be/seem to you) they condescendingly pat you on the head and say something like 'don't worry we know better. you can't possibly understand what we do.'
Why the hell would you trust them?
No one likes being told that they're not smart enough to understand something, and no one likes feeling excluded from something they've essentially been asked to accept sight unseen.
I don't really have a solution to this, except some vague notion about working harder to portray scientists as people working a job, rather than geniuses who are above it all.
And like trying harder to understand where people are coming from when they question science. And remembering that being better educated than most doesn't make us smarter than most. It just makes us better trained in certain types of thinking.
I just think we need to keep in mind what we are asking of people. Which is to put a whole hell of a lot of faith in us.

"UPDATE: After the first review I edited the recipe using less butter. I am one of those cooks who never measures things, so I estimated, and obviously, it was too much butter. The idea is just to brush softened butter over the surface of the brie. I hope this is better! Thanks! This is great party food. A friend gave me this recipe after we all fell in love with it at her party. Enjoy!"

Skarner Build Guide by OP Predator
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Skarner Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Simply put: You'll be unkillable, only if you play smart and not be an idiot. Even if you don't fully finish your build, the Rod of Ages and the Trininty Force will seriously kick some ***.
Team Work
I personally think that Blitzcrank is the best champion to have as a lane partner, especially when you and Blitzcrank have your ultimates. Blitzcrank can pull an enemy in, knock them up, use his ultimate to silence them, then you use your E to tag him and do around 150 - 200 magic damage, then hit him with your Q/Auto atack, then snag him with your ultimate to keep him there. You and Blitzcrank can comepletely finish someone off like that.
You might be thinking, "Well, I can have any lane partner with a decent CC." NO. The fact that you can just pull someone with Blitzcrank and pull them again within a few seconds as Skarner is just amazing. If you don't have a Blitzcrank, just play it cool.
The items listed must be built in complete order; with the exception of wards, potions, and elixers:
- Rod of Ages (For the health, ability power, and per level health/mana return).
- Mercury's Treads (For the movement speed, reduction in CC effects, and magic resist).
- Trinity Force (For Sheen passive, damage, and health. The movement and attack speed isn't really needed, but it's good to have).
- Hextech Gunblade (Spell vamp. That's it; the other things aren't really needed).
- Manamune (For the mana/mana regen, also for the massive attack damage boost).
- Archangel's Staff (For the AP).
You will literally eat their health, and also heal yourself.
Unique Skills
When going into any fight, wheather it'd be a team fight or a mini fight, always activate your W (Crystaline Exoskeleton) first, then use your E then Q immediately after the E to heal off the enemy.
When using your ultimate, don't use it to dive a turret and pull an enemy towards your team. Use it to hold an enemy in place. I remember a time when a Tryndamere used his ultimate, i used my ultimate to keep him in place and he just died in mid air. If you snag an enemy with your ultimate and start dragging them like an idiot, people on your team that heavily depend on skill shots will for miss for sure and it will be a bit harder to take out the person you're trying to kill. Use your ultimate to prevent them from running away.
Creeping / Jungling
You can jungle, but jungling would just ruin the build, and you can easily feed with the terrible Madred's Razors upgrades (Wriggles or Bloodrazors).
Just stick to laning.
Skill Sequence
Focus on leveling your E first, then your W, then Q. Level your Ultimate as you normally would.
Do a lot of it in between ultimates. For every minion hit, your cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds (1 second if hitting a champion).
Pros / Cons
- Early game health.
- Early game survivability.
- Early game safety (the enemy will most likely target your lane partner, or no one).
- Mid game health.
- Mid game AP.
- Late game health.
- Late game AP.
- Late game AD.
- Can result in a possible 3 - 5 man gank on you. Don't be alone.
- The lack of damage early game can result in a long laning process.
- Life stealers can just wreck you.
Summoner Spells
Flash is a must. Don't argue. If you get in a sticky situation, flash out.
The second summoner spell isn't really a must. Ignite is just intended to get rid of the guys running away. I personally would use Clarity or Clairevoyance, because it's a little more helpfull than cleanse or teleport.
Best Case Scenarios
- You become fed due to killstealing or just playing right: Just finish your build, play on.
- Someone on the enemy team leaves: Zone out the lane that's missing a player.
- Your lane has a solo (someone on the other team is jungling): Overextend like an idiot, but don't dive. Also place a sh*t ton of wards. If the jungler is a Nocturne, then don't be an ******* in the lane and play smart.
Worst Case Scenarios
- Your team has a feeder: Try your very, very best cary. It's possible.
- You are the feeder on your team: Stay away from the people who can possibly kill you with ease. Join a team fight slightly late so the enemy doesn't target you.
- Someone on your team leaves (early game): More XP in your lane, but will result in a late game loss.
- Someone on your team leaves (late game): If it looks like you can't win, /ff.

General Guide by coffecupskills
Not Updated For Current Season

Hello! I pretty recently picked up my new main - Kha'Zix.
He just instakills people if he gets fed.
The chances of failing Kha top with this guide?
Equivalent to the chances of a 0/143/0 soraka to win a trade against a 9000/0/0 score LeBlanc.
Anyways, let's go on.
Kha'Zix is overpowered even after his nerfs.
R+E+W+Q ---OR--- W+E+R+Q+AA Any of these will kill anything you touch. Why? Because Kha'Zix.
In the current meta, Kha'Zix isn't played THAT much, which means he isn't banned in most of the ranked games. Now please, take notes, this is my first ever guide, and it is going to be a short one.
Flash + Teleport, or Flash + Ignite (my favorite) depending if you are going defensive or extremely aggresive.
Ravenous is probably the best item possible on Kha'Zix.
After that, I build Ionian boots: Alacrity.
(never build infinity edge on Kha'Zix)
After that, A bloodthirster it is, tightly followed by a LW. The next 2 items are usually never built on Kha'Zix, but i feel that is makes him too powerful to be skipped.
Statikk+Phantom Dancers!
It gives him a nice attack speed boost, and he already has a lot of ad from ravenous, thirster and last whisper. (And no, you will not build Guardian Angel.)

I have two Masters Degrees and am successful in life. Great wife, job, kids. . . I have it all. I however have been controlled by one specific anxiety my whole life. This group helps and is doing very important work with very meaningful consequences for millions of people like me. In my situation, drug testing, which is required, is my worse nightmare even though I have never done any drugs in my life. anyway, this is a great nonprofit.
IPA is truly a fantastic organization. They provide a service to so many that no one else does and do a great job. I have donated to them since 2012 when I found them and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work IPA!
IPA has completely changed the life of myself and others with shy bladder. Thanks to their workshops and the advice I've gotten on their message forums, I can now lead a completely normal life while previously my life was severely curtailed by my shy bladder. The people involved with IPA are completely devoted to helping people cope with and overcome this condition. It is a wonderful organization, and any money given to them will have REAL benefit and POSITIVELY change people's lives!
The IPA is doing incredible work in helping those who suffer from Paruresis. I have a loved one who fits this category with whom I've had the good fortune to attend 2 separate workshops put on by the IPA. The combination of targeted discussion and practicing specific techniques is very helpful to people with Paruresis. In addition, the workshop participants are able to build a support group who they can stay in touch with going forward. This is a first class organization that is doing great things in the areas of helping Paruresis sufferers and educating the general public on this debilitating condition that affects millions of Americans.
I am 63 years old and cannot remember a time when I was comfortable using public restrooms. (I have no memory of what the boys' rooms looked like when I was in either of the two elementary schools I attended.) Throughout my school years, I would "hold it" for the entire day--with the exception of a time or two when it got the best of me and I was sent home with wet pants. On family vacations, I could go six hours in the car without urinating. Life in a dormitory my freshman year in college was agony at times. I'm surprised that I did not do permanent damage to myself while on choir tours that involved travel for an entire day. Despite my paruresis (significant that a red underline indicates spellcheck doesn't recognize that word), I have determined that I am not sitting at home. I have traveled over the years to Europe, Israel, Africa, and South America, never knowing what I might encounter in terms of public restrooms (and it's best that I didn't know--some were real winners!). I stumbled upon IPA about the same time I was beginning to use the Internet. A pending trip to Africa had me particularly concerned, so I contacted Dr. Soifer. (Using aircraft rest rooms has been an issue--especially when there is a line of folks waiting.) This was 14 years ago, and that contact alone gave me confidence--especially given the awareness that I was not alone (or a freak). While I have not attended a workshop, I still may one day. For now, I have good days and bad days--urinal days and stall days (if conditions are anxiety-producing). Probably the best part of my connection with IPA (I support the organization annually) is my growing willingness to share my situation with others, particularly those who suffer from other social phobias or who have loved ones who do. Were it not for Steven Soifer and IPA, none of this would be possible.
This organization changed my life. I suffered from paruresis since I was a kid, and thought I was the only one who had it and was doomed to living a severely limited life because of it. Then about 15 years ago I went to an IPA workshop and started reading the IPA message boards and it changed everything. I can honestly say that now my condition no longer limits my life in any way. Steve who runs the organization has been there from the beginning and him & the organization are devoted to making people's lives better. And they really do. I couldn't recommend an organization to donate to more highly.
I've suffered with Paruresis since college and it rules my life. It conditions my leisure, my work - anything outside of my home. I stumbled upon the IPA webpage about 6 years ago and I literally cried. I wasn't alone. Not only that, those with this affliction shared their experiences. The IPA has many resources to deal with Paruresis as well as a support lifeline. I proudly support their work.
I met Dr. Soifer in early 2000 because we were planning a trip to Europe. I had many fears about the facilities in Europe. I did go to Europe (Germany and Switzerland) and was able to go in the floor to ceiling stalls. Since that time I have gone to several workshops and practice sessions. I have made amazing progress. I want to thank Dr. Soifer and all the other friends for their help and support. I now live in an area that does not have any practice groups. I an no longer bound by my paruresis.
Most of my life beyond age 8 or so has been spent avoiding going out unless I was sure there would be a bathroom to use that was quiet and very, very private.
As a teacher for 38 years, I was bound by the length of classes and learned to restrict my intake of liquids to prevent having to use a restroom at a specific time, knowing the time I had was very short.
Living with shy bladder syndrome, paruresis as it is medically termed, produced much anxiety and sadness. I wanted to go places and see the world, but couldn't.
About 10 or so years ago, I discovered the International Paruresis Association and upon investigating it, found that there were many others like myself, looking for a way to cope and solve a life restricting problem.
The information was straightforward, factual and accompanied by people you could call for help. This gave me HOPE!!. Until finding them, I wasn't too keen on anything.
I used my job and its demands as a shield to cover my real thoughts; having the IPA to use let me keep in touch with new research and new ideas that could lead to not needing to worry about my problem.
This organization gave me the hope and courage to learn how to self catheterize if I needed to and for that I am very grateful.
Who can say where I would be today without their help!
Previous Stories
I have been dealing with the effects of Shy Bladder Syndrome for the past 55 years. I've become a mostly stay at home person, venturing out only to places which make me feel safe and provide private bathroom facilities. Until I found out about this organization, I had little hope of overcoming it, but hope now is strong. Through their efforts at providing literature and setting up workshops, I feel a sympathetic ear is available and I will be dealing with others who understand my plight. About 9 years ago, I came upon a list of therapists and others who had been successful treating this syndrome; I worked with two for a while and am working with one still. I am able to keep up my hope with my therapy and used it this past March to contribute to a symposium on the causes and possible solutions to the problem. I downloaded the transcript of a telephone conference between scientists and doctors, which discussed the physiological and psychological causes and possible areas for future consideration. I read it and wrote my understanding of the topic from a patient's point of view. I submitted it to the organization for inclusion to the study of paruresis or shy bladder syndrome. Without this organization, I would still be wondering how I could cope with my affliction and whether there were others like me in the world.
After revieling my problem with my girlfriend. She found the IPA for me and I attended the Chicago workshop. It helped to have that link to others in the same situation.
This is a very important organization that has helped me come to grips with a syndrome i have faced since childhood. I always thought of myself as isolated, fighting this situation all by myself, without any support group to speak of. It was only when i started researching on the internet, after i had gone through middle school, highschool, and college, did I realize i was not alone, and that there was help.
Through Dr. Soifer's concerted effort he has helped countless people such as myself come together, step out of anonymity to discuss collectively and thereby begin the first steps of overcoming this issue. It is because of his organization and the ipatalk message board that I was able to attend a workshop spearheaded by the late Chris Mccullough, and begin to slowly realize the power of graduated exposure therapy and cognitive behavior in recovery.
This association, with its pamphlets, books (shy bladder , free to pee) have been instrumental in leading me out of my mind and into a life interspersed with social gatherings and activities, something unheard of just six years ago. I have not gotten over shy bladder, and it remains to be seen if one can truly be "cured" of it, however, through this association i have learned to realize that i am not alone, that there are countless thousands who are fighting this crusade alongside me.
This nonprofit serves a marginalized portion of the community, one that has for too long had to live with the shame and social stigma associated with this condition. It helps empower and educate, and through its efforts on the new media front serves to improve workplace environments for sufferers. It has been crucial in leading efforts for alternative drug testing, exposing workplace discrimination for those who are disabled by this condition, and giving a voice to the estimated 7% of the general US populace (and who knows what % of the world populace) who have for years suffered silently
This is a worthy non profit that lives up to its mission statement; The only thing preventing it from scaling to even greater heights capable of larger impacts is funding - funding to spread the message to the powerbrokers in congress to help provide full and equal protection under the american disabilities act for employees to preclude them from being unjustly fired for failing to produce a drug testing sample due to the archaic, conventional method of urinalysis (a methodology especially ingrained in the D.O.T) - funding for scientific research into curing this condition - funding to help bring this issue out in the open to serve as a conduit for discussion in every household across the world without shame.
Valuable source of treatment options, information on research in the field, and advocacy for those impacted by the condition. If nothing else, the Association has raised awareness of the significant numbers of people dealing with this affliction and how it affects their lives. The Association has achieved quite a lot on a very modest budget.
I attended a workshop several years ago and the support I received was very encouraging. Up until that point I thought I was alone. IPA continues to fight for important issues affecting those with paruresis, such as alternative drug testing methods.
This organization has done amazing things not only working with those of us with shy bladder, but also advocating for changes in drug testing in the work place and defending those whose jobs were unjustly terminated because they couldn't provide urine for a drug test. Every year they offer workshops to help get people with shy bladder introduced to graduated desensitization and on the path to addressing this issue. They also provide a directory of the various support groups around the world where people can connect and work together on the issue.
For 16 years I was suffuring from a mysterious disease that I thought was absolutely unique to me.Literally I damaged my every walk of the life killing my whole confidence in life. I alway assumes that I will die soon.On 29.04.2007 I discovered !!! a site this site.I dont have words to say the amount of joy confidence I got just by visiting that site.Of course my paruresis is not over becase I dint worked on it which I will do very soon ( I am dam confident about getting rid of the I will work on it) but knowing it has almost improvoved my condition at least 40 %. GREAT GREAT AND GREAT

Police in Gatineau are investigating a second incident of cemetery vandalism in less than a week after 23 headstones were toppled overnight Tuesday.
Police say eight of the 23 headstones at the Notre-Dame cemetery on Fournier Boulevard were damaged.
They are investigating to determine if the vandalism is linked to another case at St. François de Sales cemetery, which is just two kilometres away.
Vandals knocked over 86 headstones sometime overnight between Sept. 1 and 2.
The manager at that cemetery, Roger Gagnon, had said it was the worst act of vandalism he has seen at the site.
The severely damaged stones could cost thousands of dollars to replace and the total damage was estimated at $50,000.
Gatineau police continue to investigate both incidents.

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Nov 17, 2017 | 18 Comments
Are you looking forward to Sony's Next Generation Portable? Its revelation last month didn't come with a release date, but it looks like Sony is gearing up for launch by dropping the price of the original PSP.
The price drop sees $40 slashed off the console's $170 price tag, meaning you can join 67.8 million other owners for the cut-price of $130. Originally, the PSP premiered at $250, with a previous price cut occurring in 2007. Rumor has it the NGP will be retailing at roughly $250-$300, so be sure to plan your finances accordingly.

Undergraduate Concentration
Daniel Vaca, Director of Undergraduate Studies
Tina Creamer, Departmental Administrator
Religious Studies explores religious thought and practice in various historical, cultual, and social contexts, in order to understand and interpret societies and cultures throughout the world. It fosters scholarly skills such as close reading (of text, images, artifacts, and other social data), excellence in writing and verbal expression, interpretation of the past from multiple forms of evidence, and assessment of contemporary social issues. By exploring the public and private concerns that a focus on religion highlights - for example, the creation of community, the nature of the individual, suffering, and death, good and evil - students discover new ways of interpreting the complex world in which they live. As studens examine religious activity in regions like Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, they not only learn about the formation and transmission of beliefs, behaviors, values, rituals, and identities but also come to understand how divers peoples have expressed religious understandings of themselves and others through social policies, institutions, and conflicts often seen as secular
1. Basic Requirment
A concentration in religious studies includes a minimum of nine semester-long courses, including RELS 1000 (a junior seminar in methods in the study of religion) and eight other courses conforming to the concentration requirements. Students who transfer to Brown or study abroad must complete at least five courses in Religious Studies.
2. Distribution of Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced Courses
Among the eight concentration courses, no more than four courses (out of nine) can be at the introductory level (below 1000). In addition to any introductory courses and RELS 1000, the plan of study must include at least two intermediate-level courses (0200-0999) and two advanced level courses (above 1000).
3. Geographic and Methodological Distribution
In order to ensure that students study a diveristy of religious traditions, through multiple methods of study, ethe eight concentration courses (in addition to RELS 1000) must: 1) reflect more than one approach to the study of religion (e.g., philosophical and historical); and 2) examine more than one religious tradition. To ensure that students examine multiple traditions, the plan of study ordinarily should include two or more courses in each of these areas:
- Traditions that emerge from West Asia and the Mediterranean world (e.g., Christianity, Judaism, Islam).
- Traditions that emerge from South and East Asis (e.g., Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism)
4. Courses in Other Departments
Courses listed in other departments but taught by religious studies faculty count toward the program of study. In addition to courses taught by religious studies faculty, up to three courses taught by faculty in other departments can count toward the program. Students who transfer to Brown, study abroad, or otherwise petition to include Brwon courses not cross-listed with Religious Studies must still complete at least five courses in Religious Studies.
5. Capstone Project
No later than the end of spring registration in the junior year, the concentrator will determine how he or she will complete a capstone project for the requirement - either by selecting a capstone course, or by undertaking an honors thesis. A capstone course will be selected in consultation with the concentration advisor and other faculty as appropriate. Within the frame of this capstone course and through work completed for the course, the concentrator will address the theoretical and interpretive issues of his or her particular focus in the religious studies concentration.
Honors Thesis (Optional)
A thesis is an opportunity for students to conduct extended independent research under the guidance of faculty. If a student chooses to write an honors thesis, in addition to completing the typical eight concentration courses (in addition to RELS 1000), the student will enroll in RELS 1999 during both semesters of the senior year. Whether or not a student receives honors, RELS 1999 will serve as the student's capstone course. To be eligible to write a thesis, a student must have eanred a grade point average of greater than 3.5 (A=4, B=3, C=2) on courses that count toward the concentration. Additionally, to be eligible for honors, concentrators take no more than two of the concentration courses with the "S/NC" option, after declaring a Religious Studies concentration. (Note: if a student is philosophically committed to taking the majority of her or his courses at Brown as "S/NC," that student may petition the Department to waive the "S/NC" limit.) Writing the thesis is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for receiving Honors. In order to receive Honors, the student's thesis must earn an A from its readers, and the student must have earned a grade point average of greater than 3.5 in the concentration and satisfied all other concetration requirements.

Osteoporosis and the painful broken bones that accompany it do not have to be a part of normal aging; there are preventative measures you can take to promote optimal bone health and limit your risk of bone loss later in life.
Along with regular exercise, the avoidance of smoking and alcohol , diet is one of the most efficacious ways in which we can nurture our bones.
Most of know we need calcium and vitamin D for healthy bones, but the components that comprise our skeleton are living tissue and require more than just a glass of milk. A good set of bones also requires a constant and adequate supply of protein, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamin K. The following 6 foods are each especially abundant in nutrients that give your bones a boost; treat your bones well now, and they will return the favor later on in life.
1. Bananas
These powerhouses pack a mighty punch of potassium, which helps prevent the loss of calcium from the body.
2. Olive Oil
The intake of olive oil has been related to the prevention of osteoporosis in experimental and in vitromodels, according to a 2012 study.
3. Milk
There's a reason milk is the poster child for calcium. Eight ounces of fat-free milk will cost you 90 calories, but provide you with 30% of your daily dose of calcium.
4. Eggs
Though eggs only contain 6% of your daily vitamin D, they're a quick and easy way to get it. Just don't opt for egg whites—they may cut calories, but the vitamin D is in the yolk.
5. Yogurt
Many people rely on milk for their calcium, but yogurt has calcium and more, along with all of those healthy probiotics. For example, a one-cup serving of organic Stonyfield plain, fat-free yogurt has 35 percent of the daily requirement for calcium, along with 25 percent vitamin D, 30 percent phosphorous, 8 percent magnesium, as well as other bone-health promoting nutrients, all for 110 calories.
6. Salmon
Salmon is known for having plenty of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, but a 3-ounce piece of sockeye salmon contains more than 100% of your vitamin D. So eat up for your heart and your bones.

hey thanks for replying. i have been getting weird sideffects but the thing is that i have been taking it for almost two years now and nothing weird has happened until a couple months ago in june. maybe it is because my neuro increased my dosage but im not sure. he increased it in february it was just 500 mg day and night and now it is 1,000 mg day and night. i usually dont remember if i have nightmares but i do sometimes get night sweats. also my eyesight has been getting worse and i sometimes get weird twiches in different parts of my body. i get depression every once in a while and other times i just dont feel like dealing with everyday things . i also get irritated at different times. all of this started in june and i am not sure if i want to tell my neuro because i am afraid that he will switch my meds and that i will have to take a different another kind of medicine for a couple more years. eh, i dont know what to do.
does anyone else get effects like these?
I am 22, I had my first seizure on dec. 11, 2006. My doctor put me on keppra and it makes me moody, irritable, and really sad. I know just what you are saying. I am looking for somebody who knows what I am talking about, if you want, email me back

On Christmas
"Wings are for flying, not frying" ...nice quote, nice sentiment. Animal-friendly consumerism could be a major future trend. Until nine years ago I too gorged myself on turkey every Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 27th...and my mouth watered long after at the remembered taste of turkey soup on the 28th or 29th, a meal which constituted one of the culinary highlights of my year.

Hey guys,
I installed CentOS 5.7 and Snort on a machine with 2 NICS. I'm going to set up the network like this:
Modem ===>Snort(IDS)===>Router===>Switch===>Network
At the moment, I have set up the 2 NICs like so:
eth0 = 192.168.1.181 (Internal)
eth1 = 192.168.110.2 (External)
Before I take down my network to put this in place, I need to make sure it is functioning correctly. I have another machine connected directly to eth1 and trying to test traffic.
I've been trying to find some CLEAR documentation on setting up a forward so traffic passes through both NICs without issue. I've tried following iptables tutorials, custom scripts, etc and it's just not working. Can anyone help me with this?

The Main Squeeze
The Main Squeeze is a raging funk experience born within the thriving live music scene of Bloomington, Indiana. Since coming together in late 2009 The Squeeze have managed to establish a unique sound and identity in a short period of time. Their first studio offering entitled "First Drops," is a seven song EP released in early 2011 which showcases the broad range of styles and influences that each member brings to the table; from rock to jazz, funk to R&B, and hip-hop to electro.
While their first foray into the studio proved successful, the growth that has transpired within the group since it's release has been profound. Their live performances, which fuse soulful vocals, intricate jams, tight grooves, and ripping solos have helped them develop a dedicated and rapidly growing fan base in the Midwest and along the East Coast. Their unique ability to tackle and funkify such a wide variety of music makes each show a unique experience in its own
The Squeeze still reside in Bloomington and have been hard at work compiling new music for their upcoming LP which will be released in May. With a steady stream of unreleased material being tweaked and perfected at each show, its safe to say that they've have found their groove and show no signs of slowing down. If you've ever wondered whether the juice is worth the squeeze, you should look no further – The Main Squeeze is sure to be hitting a city near you sometime soon, leaving their crowd funkified and freshly squozen.
We got together in 2010 to make music. We recorded an album that summer entitled, "You, Me, & the Monster." We then proceeded to play shows. Some of the bands we've played with include, but are not limited to, Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, Margot & the Nuclear So & So's, Company of Thieves, Bear Hands, and Walk the Moon. Eventually the album we made was ready to release, so our friend Dodge helped us get the digital files onto physical discs and we held a release party in the summer of 2011. We are working on our second album, which we believe will be released before the whole end of the world thing in December.
For the last seven years, Rodeo Ruby Love has tried to become synonymous with Indiana: honest, hardworking, non-assuming and a little bit behind the times. The songs are rooted in the pop-country radio and church hymns that shaped founding member Zachary Melton's childhood, while the energy and passion bloomed from the central Indiana hardcore scene. Rodeo Ruby Love has always sought to tell real stories, vulnerably exploring truth in the emotions we experience when life and love collide—the heartaches of friendship, the exhilaration of relationship, and the innocent angst of trying to get to second base. The songs were distinctly Mid-western: small town problems of small town boys and girls played to the biggest sound they could muster.
The band put out albums in three consecutive years, its first full-length album recorded in a dank basement with the help of friends in Bloomington, Ind. Your Love Has Made Everything Beautiful (2006) was followed by simultaneously released EPs What Loneliness Can Do For You and Honest To God (2007), which kicked off Rodeo Ruby Love's first tours—long miles in a hot van through the Midwest and Southeast. The band's second full-length album was released by Bloomington-based XRA Records in 2008 (Vs. the Great American Cities).
In 2010, the band went on its first national tour, a self-booked, two-month, four-van-breakdown adventure in support of their third full-length album, This is Why We Don't Have Nice Things. The album was re-released by Pentimento Music Co in 2011, when Rodeo Ruby Love joined the label and two separate tours with Streetlight Manifesto and ska legends Reel Big Fish. The band traded house shows and small venues for major nationally-recognized stops, playing to sold out crowds and actually selling records. The band's fan base began spreading beyond the Midwest in a significant way.
Rodeo Ruby Love's fourth full-length album is due out on June 11 from Pentimento Music Company, followed by a month-long national tour with label mates Streetlight Manifesto and Empty Orchestra. The latest album carries Melton's trademark vulnerability, and tells stories about life at home and on the road and his own incredibly likeable imperfection.
Blue Moon Revue is a true rock n roll band in every sense of the word. Mixing the diverse musical backgrounds of the bands members into a style all their own, Blue Moon Revue formed back in 1999 when a couple of Indiana University students wanted to get together and play the kind of music they loved.
While most college bands call it quits after graduation, these guys remained friends and continued making music together. The strength and longevity of that relationship has been essential to the band's songwriting and development over the years.
Now calling the great city of Indianapolis their home, Blue Moon Revue has toured nationally and shared the stage with many other notable acts such as Santana, Galactic, OK GO and The Meat Puppets to name a few.
Muncie-bred and Indianapolis-raised, we make music in old duplexes and share them with all kinds of alternative environs. We breathe in quiet sounds, and exhale louder sounds. A good mixture of western swing, surf rock, blues and images meant for dreams. We like you!
Tax Brandywine: Rock? Folk? Reggae? Pop? Ska? Punk? Dub? Yes.
The band hit a major milestone in their performing careers by supporting English 2 Tone Ska band, Bad Manners, in May of 2011. Following the debut success of the full-length album Atrocities on the Highway, Tax released the Welcome Home EP on New Year's Eve 2011 featuring the single "Hurricane Kaley" recorded at the legendary Studio B in Nashville, TN.

Jurors Found No Evidence of Infringement
CAMBRIDGE, MA (August 9, 2011) –Vlingo Corporation, the maker of the Virtual Assistant that turns your words into actions today announced a jury in Federal District Court in Boston found that Vlingo did not infringe on U.S Patent No 6,766,295 (the '295 Patent) entitled "Adaptation of a Speech Recognition System across Multiple Remote Sessions with a Speaker" as alleged by Nuance Communications.
In its ruling the jury found that Vlingo did not infringe on any of the 30 claims of infringement asserted by Nuance.
To reach this verdict the jury heard testimony from one of the inventors of the '295 Patent, experts in the speech recognition systems field, a patent lawyer and employees from both Nuance and Vlingo. The testimony and evidence put forth to the jury failed to prove that Vlingo in any way infringed.
Specifically, Nuance alleged that two Vlingo commercial systems infringed the '295 patent: the Vlingo/IBM system and the Vlingo/AT&T Watson system. Vlingo uses speech recognition systems developed by IBM and AT&T to build its products. The jury found neither system infringed. Ironically, the IBM speech recognition system used in the Vlingo solution was acquired by Nuance in 2009, and Vlingo is a customer of Nuance's for the IBM engine. So, in alleging the Vlingo/IBM system infringed, Nuance was claiming a customer of its own technology infringed its patents – even though this use was consistent with the terms of the license.
A Businessweek Bloomberg article recently reported that Nuance has sued eight companies over alleged patent infringements but that is hasn't won any judgments.
"The ruling by the jury is further vindication that Nuance cannot compete in the market, said Dave Grannan, president & CEO, Vlingo. "We are happy to report that with this latest ruling, Nuance's record remains perfect in patent infringement trials, they haven't won any."
"For the market as a whole, we are happy to report we have successfully defended the Vlingo and AT&T Watson technology from the patent litigation tactics of Nuance," Grannan continued. "Rapid innovation and a diversity of suppliers is very important to our industry, and since Nuance acquired the IBM speech assets the Vlingo/AT&T system is really one of the few remaining alternatives to Nuance in the market. We are happy to report that in conjunction with AT&T we will continue providing an alternative. Vlingo's new innovative technology doesn't infringe Nuance's old patent. Vlingo also has pending against Nuance in Delaware a patent infringement case asserting Nuance infringes patents owned by Vlingo."
In addition, all claims in '295 patent have been found invalid by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) in a reexamination proceeding.
"It's distasteful that Nuance engages in this abuse of the legal system because it clogs our courts and stifles innovation," said Mike Phillips, CTO, Vlingo. "We hope this ruling demonstrates to the market and our customers that Vlingo won't be bullied by these tactics and will continue to deliver on innovation."
In an absurd allegation, Nuance also asserted that several experiments Vlingo and AT&T conducted in conjunction with AT&T's Watson Speech Engine infringed the '295 patent. These joint experiments were for research purposes only, and never resulted in a commercial product. The jury also ruled that these experiments did not infringe the '295 patent.
"It's a real measure of the desperation of Nuance," said Grannan. "This is clearly an aggressive step by Nuance to attempt to attack AT&T's technology through Vlingo and demonstrates Nuance will go to the ridiculous extreme in its patent troll behavior to try to stifle innovation in our industry."
"It's a new level of absurdity," said Mike Phillips, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Vlingo. "Nuance actually used an academic research paper from Interspeech 2011, a well known research conference, to accuse Vlingo of running infringing experiments. I have been attending these conferences for decades and have never seen anything this ridiculous. "
"We saw Nuance issued a press release tonight on this jury ruling with the headline: 'Jury Returns Mixed Verdict in Nuance Patent Lawsuit Against Vlingo,' "said Grannan. "That's like the Red Sox beating the Yankees in the World Series, and then seeing the Yankees issue a press release saying: 'World Series Returns Mixed Result, Red Sox Win but Yankees got More Hits.'"

(Blogger's Note: John Troutt Jr., grew up in the family business delivering newspapers on a bike, ultimately serving as editor and publisher of The Jonesboro Sun for many decades. He was my boss for eight years. Retired now, he lives in Jonesboro.)
Dear Mr. Troutt:
There are so many things you want to share with someone who had such a profound effect on your life's direction.
I could tell you how much it meant in all the years after our time together at The Jonesboro Sun that you'd welcome me to drop by for a visit and pick your brain for wisdom in the publishing world. And it did.
I could tell you it shaped me to watch you publish a daily newspaper, adhere to admirable journalistic standards and ethics, but also understand the role and impact you could have on community development because of what, and who, you knew. And it did that, too.
And I could tell you there never before was, or never will again, be another workplace that felt so much like home. To this day, that newsroom – its sounds and smells and all those wonderful people who put ink on paper – well, it's a fond remembrance of home. All those things are true enough.
But for old time's sake, what I'd rather tell you, Mr. Troutt, (I could've never called you anything else) is a story – a story about a safety net. You gave me this story, and I'll bet you never thought a thing about it.
After eight years working for you, one day the phone rang. It was the phone call I'd imagined since I was 14. It was my dream job calling. A political campaign called and needed a press secretary, and they needed one yesterday. The election was six months away. Career-wise, it was both the opportunity, and the risk of a lifetime. Success could mean landing exactly where I'd always imagined my life's calling. Failure would put me abruptly on the street without a paycheck. The thought of hungry children is frightening when you're 29 years old – any time, I guess, really.
It was scary, but I walked in to your office to explain my honest dilemma. You sat there listening without much expression smoking a Camel as you'd normally do. You were never an easy read, Mr. Troutt. I think it's just part of why I liked and respected you so much.
"A leave of absence is something we could do, if it's something you really want to try. Your job will be here, if you even need a job," you said, so matter of factly, and resolving my huge burden in the blink of an eye. "We're not going anywhere."
All of a sudden the burden was lifted and the freedom to try something potentially rewarding but incredibly scary was mine. You'd made it both possible AND safe in an instant. In the event I fell, you'd handed me a safety net.
There's no doubt how grateful I was as the time. The mere thought of risking a single week without a paycheck back in those days was enough to make me break out in hives. But as the many years have passed, I've reflected on that kind gesture so many times, and I've realized the invaluable impact it had on my future direction. It's one of a handful of defining moments for which I'm so thankful. And I want you to know I've always tried to pay that lesson forward, Mr. Troutt, creating a safety net for others, when I could, and when it seemed the right thing.
In a search for some personal wisdom just the other day I listened to a man talk about achievement. He talked about the reward that comes from achievement in really difficult circumstances, and he said this:
"We can't accomplish anything real without the possibility of failure."
I know what he means, and I agree so much, but it sure was nice that one time early on when a wise man who'd been in my shoes gave me a safety net in case I fell. Everyone should be so lucky to feel the exhilarating freedom of walking a high wire with a safety net that protects and reassures.
Thank you so much for the gesture and the lesson, Mr. Troutt. I'm grateful beyond the words this keyboard will create.
Very sincerely yours,
