In October of 2010, I attended a paranormal mystery event at a national writer's conference in San Francisco. One of the authors, when introduced, protested her presence among the other panelists there stating that the animal communication theme in her series was in no way a reflection of the paranormal, but rather a mundane experience she shared with her pets on an ongoing basis. As a cat parent, I could identify…which got me to pondering how often that which is term "paranormal" shows up in our everyday lives—and is accepted at face value or given another name.
The prefix para- , derived from the Greek, is generally defined as at or to one side of, side by side or beyond. I am disinclined toward the latter since it implies a state that's difficult to access or perceive. My encounters with the so-called "paranormal" have been hard to mistake for anything else and have accompanied me, in lockstep, in my career(s) as a nurse and as a psychic.
I worked in acute care for thirteen years and, in my first few months precepting on a medical, surgical and oncology floor, came to appreciate the intuition of the veteran nurses on the unit and their seemingly uncanny ability to predict when a patient was about to "go bad". Nine times out of ten and without a definitive set of physical indicators, if one if them sensed an impeding health crisis with a given patient, it would occur, during the shift, in the form of an exacerbation of symptoms, sepis, shock, or a full-blown code. I quickly learned that if any of my "betters" pulled me aside and suggested I keep an eye on my patient in Room 202, I'd best take that advice seriously—and keep the crash-cart handy. And, by the time I was officially on my own, I had began to develop that sixth sense as well.
That "knowing" would insert itself into my patient care decisions again and again, but one that stands out for me was the time I was recovering an elderly man from a routine colonoscopy. He had met all the criteria for discharge: positive bowel sounds, ability to ambulate without help, keeping down fluids, no complaints of pain, vital signs within normal limits. Plus, he had a daughter who had planned to stay overnight with him, so there was no real issue with letting him go home. Yet, everytime I thought about his belly, palpated it, or auscultated it, I got a "gut" feeling something was wrong. I spoke with his gastro-enterologist about admitting him for an overnight stay, but he refused, as there was no verifiable reason to keep him, so I kept the patient around for another hour and continued to monitor him. As he began to get dressed to go home, he admitted to feeling a little light-headed: not usual for someone his age, given the bowel prep, but enough to get him admitted. I called his doctor, again, and he grudgingly gave me the order for a twenty-three hour observation.
In my thirty years working as a psychic, I've experienced more clear-cut synchronicities than the length of this blog would allow for, but I will share a recent one that surprised even me. A few months ago, a man I'd never met appeared in a dream and identifyed himself as the husband of one of my clients, who, for the sake of anonymity, I will call Mary. He said he was feeling depressed, helpless, and "…less of a man…" because of an economic downturn he and his family had suffered. He confessed he felt so overwhelmed by his wife's expectations and his inability to provide, in the way he'd done in years previous, that he'd begun to experience chest pain: something he'd failed to disclose to Mary or their children.The next day when I came onto the unit, his gastroenterologist was there: looking bleary-eyed and a bit sheepish. He informed me he'd gotten called out, in the middle of the night, to examine our patient, who was complaining of increasingly severe abdominal pain. With his vitals signs indicating internal hemorrhage, he was rushed to the OR, where he underwent surgical repair for a perforated bowel. Fortunately, the patient recovered completely: a gift, I like to think, from the nurses who taught me the value of honoring my intuition.
In the next instant, the dreamscape changed and I saw him lying on a guerney, hooked up to an oxygen mask and telemetry, being wheeled down a hospital corridor. Then a deep voice announced, "The next time you see his wife you need to tell her she must stop pressuring him over their financial situation or he is going to have a cardiac arrest…or something worse." I woke feeling like an elephant had been sitting on my chest.
The following day, while on break at a local metaphysical fair, I was replaying the dream in my head and asking myself, what, if anything, I should do about it. The fair's director knocked on the door and told me I had someone waiting for a reading. I got up to greet the next person and—you guessed it—there stood Mary. I hadn't seen her in well over six months and had to work to hide my surprise. I decided against telling her about the dream, but, during the course of her reading, mentioned I had some concerns for her husband's health. She confessed that he'd been struggling with chronic health issues over the past two years and had recently become withdrawn. When I asked if she'd been pressuring him about money, she burst into tears and admitted that she had and, in her frustration with their situation, had been doing so almost continually since their finances had gone south. I let her know that I saw him experiencing some level of chest pain and suggested she have him check in with his doctor—and shelf the money matters for a while. She left the fair promising to make him aware how much he meant to her as a husband and a father. And I was left shaking my head at the timing of the dream and her visit.
Due to my choice of professions, a fair amount of my life has been lived on what I call Paranormal Standard Time. And I know I'm not the only author whose experiences with the unexplained have created fodder for their writing. Leave a comment about your brush with the extraordinary and win a copy of The Eight of Pentacles, the first in the Eileen McGrath Tarot Series.

Avengers is a terrific show. There is minimal language, no sexual content, and it has a surprisingly decent story line for a comic book movie.
Then there is the action and violence. While there is a fair amount of fighting that takes place between the main characters and also the enemies in the movie there is minimal gore. Many of the characters have slight cuts during the fighting but nothing repulsive occurs.
There is one incident from the movie that I felt was slightly unsettling when a device is stabbed/planted onto a character's eye and though nothing is explicitly shown, the character is screaming for a few moments. (You would have seen about the same or worse in Lord of the Rings, but I would not recommend children under 10 going)
Besides that, the show is very enjoyable, and a great balance between action, suspense, humor, and resolution. Well worth your time.May 6th, 2012 · Details4 Thanks ·
Excellent movie. A great job is done bringing all the characters together. Lots of humor and great special effects.March 24th, 2013 · Details2 Thanks ·
When an aircraft carrier transformed into a gigantic aircraft I had made up my mind to rate this thumbs down. But by the end of the movie I went for thumbs up for one reason - the visual effects in this movie are stunning. I struggle with comic book movies because the plots, dialogue, and characters are all complete cliches. I do not regret watching The Avengers, however, because the action sequences (especially at the end) are absolutely jaw dropping. If you like comics, this one surely delivers.
There are 2 "A" words that I remember and some scary and intense scenes that younger children should probably not be watching. Tons of fighting of course.October 4th, 2012 · Details2 Thanks ·
The best comic book movie made to date. Great character development. Tied in the story lines from the other comic book movies very well.June 22nd, 2012 · Details2 Thanks ·
This might be my favorite movie of the past few years: interesting story, fun action, well-developed characters with great interplay, funny2 Thanks ·
Fantastic movie. A lot of fun.1 Thank ·
One of the best comic book movies ever made. It had some of the smartest dialogue of any Marvel movie yet. The actors all seem like they are having fun and wanting to deliver the most entertaining movie they can and they do.1 Thank ·
From the moment the movie started I knew it was going to be an epic experience. The incredible action and stunning graphical effects combined with the sci-fi and superhero storyline created an experience that, for me, lived up to all the hype surrounding the film's release.
There is, of course, plenty of violence amid the action and some gore that would be expected in a storyline involving battles between great forces of good and evil. I don't recall much profanity from the movie, though there were many great an humorous lines from the likes of Robert Downy Jr., Chris Evans, as well as the rest of the cast.May 16th, 2012 · Details1 Thank ·
Besides being full of great spectacle, "The Avengers" is also a character driven movie. Joss Whedon does an excellent job balancing time between the various plot lines, and the collision of so many "hero" personalities provides some laugh-out-loud moments throughout the movie. It feels like the actors are having fun and the audience will as well. Definitely worth your time!May 7th, 2012 · Details1 Thank ·
Though the writing is clever and the characters enjoyable (who doesn't love a super-hero film), I can't back this film completely. The studios get away with throwing a lot of violence at us by putting a superhero on the marquee.
It was, however, a lot of fun to see so many supers together. Ironman was snarky and fun as usual, but I liked Captain America more so because he just so good and decent! I just wish they didn't make it so violent. Watch the original X-Men movie and see the difference.August 9th, 2013 · Details
Wonderful movie, definitely the best one of 2012. If you love Marvel Comics, like I do, The Avengers will surprise you with plenty of action, intelligent dialogues and very good sense of humor. Hardly a comic-based movie will ever be that good, unless is The Avenger 2: The Age of Ultron. Can't wait for it!August 1st, 2013 · Details

They did a great job at putting all of the superheroes together in one movie. It is action packed and very entertaining. I would recommend it.May 10th, 2013 · Details
I loved the film. I thought that it is perfect for the whole entire family. Great action and very well presented.April 23rd, 2013 · Details
This movie seems like it would be a great children's movie. I would say this is even the best movie of the year. You get to experience Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and Iron man all in the same movie, what more could you want? The only thing I could think of for why this movie would be rated PG-13 would be for the awesome battle scenes and battle happens in real life so if this movie could be rated 13 for that then we are living in an X rated world!April 18th, 2013 · Details
I LIKE THIS MOVIE IT HAD LOTS OF ACTION IN IT IT WAS SOOOOO COOL KEEP IT UPApril 15th, 2013 · Details
tried to fit 20 lbs of action and stars in a 10 lbs bag if you get what I am saying not my favorite I enjoyed the separate films building the super heroes much more then this movieFebruary 28th, 2013 · Details
Awesome movie. Full of action, great story and I love all the characters. It helps if you have seen the movies for each character before you see this movie, but its not needed.
There is some great humor between the characters and some great funny moments, but it is full of action and gets your heart pounding. This movie is a great one and is in my collection. I recommend this to anyone, just not the kiddo's. over 13 I think would be ok.February 8th, 2013 · Details
Some funny parts, amazingly realistic, and VERY worth your time!February 7th, 2013 · Details
I enjoyed all the "prequels" even Captain America, and I was thinking this would be really fun, the concept was really intriguing, but I fell asleep in the theater. I wasn't really tired either... This is a hit or miss. There is tons of action but the story isn't there.November 29th, 2012 · Details
AWESOME!!!!! Nothing else to say !November 17th, 2012 · Details
This movie was absolutely incredible. Period. I loved that there was little to no sexual content and language. Overall it was just an enjoyable movie. I could watch this movie again and again.
Go watch it, it's a good one.November 13th, 2012 · Details
Best super hero movie ever made. NO questions asked.September 30th, 2012 · Details
Best movie of the year so far. Not just a great super hero film but a great film as well.September 25th, 2012 · Details
If I had to tweet a review I'd say this: Marvel's finest heroes provide eye dilating action, ab strengthening humor, and a solid story that fuse together smoothly for a classic.
It's a fun movie but definitely not for kids under 13. It's almost difficult to pinpoint who your favorite character is because all of them do a great job.
I'd strongly recommend going into the movie prepared; having seen Iron Man and Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America. If you've seen those, it'll be a better experience for you.
I'll buy this one for sure.September 15th, 2012 · Details
Great Movie for the kids and familySeptember 6th, 2012 · Details
Loved it. I also loved the humor incorporated into the film.August 13th, 2012 · Details

Pure awesome! My kid had three words, "That Was Awesome!" Truer words were never spoken. Well written, well cast, and well executed, two thumbs WAY UP!July 12th, 2012 · Details
Did a great job managing multiple story lines. Well done. Worth it.July 10th, 2012 · Details
two thumbs up. If I have more thumbs I would give it more.
Loved this one. Killer fight scenes and effects. my 15 year old son loved it. Wants an Iron Man suit. Worth seeing.
Humorous, engaging and all-around fun. But don't sit on the second row.
What a wonderful movie they depicted the characters very well but I would definitely take note of the rating and would not bring anyone under 13 as it was a very violent movie.June 12th, 2012 · Details
Fun movie with all the old action hero's. Lots of fun and entertaining.June 9th, 2012 · Details
I have enjoyed the Marvel movies since I was a kid. This one is enjoyable since the Avengers use their power to overcome "Tesseract" I would probably go see it again. It's good for kids to see, if the violence doesn't bother them.June 1st, 2012 · Details
I really enjoyed this movie, and no I don't think it was a violent or goring as the review stated.
Bad news first: this film has no story. Not a shred. And Hulk's character doesn't make sense. He acts one way in one part of the film and a completely different way at the end. And there's no explanation for it. Those are the only flaws in an otherwise excellent summer blockbuster. Turns out, you don't really have to have a story when the interchange between your characters is so dang good. Joss Whedon is a good director and a phenomenal writer. The dialogue he writes is so good! The best part of this film was just listening to the characters talk to each other! There's also some great action and a ton of humor. It's just so much fun to see all these superheroes on the screen together. I liked it significantly more than any of the films with these characters in them that preceded it. Oh, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner? He's awesome! Way better than the other guys. And Hulk is my favorite part of this film, despite the aforementioned inconsistency.
It's PG-13 for superhero violence, which is bloodless. I didn't notice much language and there is no sexual content.May 28th, 2012 · Details
The Avengers is one of the better super hero movies. It has great jokes through out the movie, that will keep you laughing. It is also filled with action, with the last battle scene dragging on a bit. The one thing this movie was missing was a solid love story to go with the save the world battle.May 27th, 2012 · Details
Action packed popcorn movie, with lots of comic book fighting and great characters.May 25th, 2012 · Details
visually stunning movie. The narrative stitched together by writers and the director turned out to be far more compelling than I originally thought it would be. I was somewhat disappointed by the Asgard character's performances. Loki wasn't nearly as dynamic as he was in Thor. Both he and Thor felt more one dimensional. I also felt the Hulk should have been played up more. Despite these flaws the movie is a wildly fun romp. Humor was great. Musical score was Neh, alright. The PG-13 rating is deserved. Tons of mostly bloodless comic style violence. Worth seeing at least once.May 21st, 2012 · Details
You are sure to have a fun night at the movies with the Avengers. I did not consider myself a fan of the characters, though I did enjoy Thor, but I liked every single one of them in this movie. The pace of the movie is great; it is exciting the whole time.
The script was funny, and the acting was great. There is obviously a significant amount of violence that merits the PG-13 rating. There is also minimal language. But overall this is a very enjoyable film.May 19th, 2012 · Details
Total, meaningless fun! Great popcorn movie that even my kids could enjoy!!May 18th, 2012 · Details
Loved this movie!!! Great display of awesome heroes! I really liked the story line and how they showcased each character's traits, strenghts, and also weaknesses. I liked how they learned to work as a team and the way they beat Loki in the end. Love how Iron Man is so smart! Tons of action, awesome effects and it was definitely a funny movie. Stay till the very end of the credits!!!!May 17th, 2012 · Details
When Thor's evil brother Loki comes to Earth, he steals an energy cube called a Tesseract to open a portal to a different dimension so another alien race can invade. He also takes control of several people to help him in this endeavor, including Hawkeye.
When the Avengers — including Thor, Ironman, The Hulk and Captain America, Black Widow — are brought together to help figure out a way to save Earth, they start fighting, arguing and goading each other. Each is a superhero and has worked alone successfully (or in The Hulk's case, so he doesn't hurt others). Working together proves to be much more difficult than expected, especially when Loki does his best to split them up.
Once they figure out how to use their strengths to benefit their mission to save Earth along with cooperating, this group of superheroes just might be able to thwart Loki's plans.
And just one more note: The only Marvel comics show I saw before this was "Captain America." It would be helpful to know at least some of the background, but if you haven't seen any of the other shows, you wouldn't be completely lost.
There is a lot of violence and the PG-13 rating it definitely warranted.May 15th, 2012 · Details
It was a 60/40 type of movie. I liked the action sequences, and the cast is perfect matching, but the biggest problem with this movie was the comedy. WAY too much comedy. True, this movie lives up to its hype, but more action and less comedy would've helped this movie fit in with "The Hunger Games". I am proud of this movie, however, for being in the Top 250 on IMDb. I also hope it wins some Oscars along with "The Hunger Games".May 13th, 2012 · Details
Great action, fun story, and so well done!May 11th, 2012 · Details
The Avengers is exactly what you would expect from a superhero movie: lots of action, occasional funny quips between characters, and the good guys win after an epic battle with evil. I found myself thoroughly entertained and left the movie with a smile.
There is little to no sex in the movie and no profanity. As The Avengers is an action film, there is plenty of violence, though none of it is gory. I would recommend that young children not see the movie, but tweens and teens should be fine.May 8th, 2012 · Details

Facing a short deadline for a decision, the Allied Pilots Association's board of directors reconvened Monday to take a fresh look at American Airlines Inc.'s "last, best and final offer."
APA spokesman Tom Hoban said the board was carefully reviewing the contractual language, with negotiators taking questions from the base representatives who make up the union's board.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane last Thursday gave the union and American more time to talk about the carrier's proposal, but he set a Wednesday deadline for the APA board to vote on it.
That's two days before Lane is scheduled to decide whether American can reject its contracts with the pilots, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants and two of the seven Transport Workers Union bargaining units at American.
The APA board voted 11-5 against the proposal Wednesday, and various board members have told members since then that the language shown the board was too vague, with too little time to clarify and debate.
"Poorly organized, thinly worded, opaque promises are just not acceptable," St. Louis base chairman Keith Bounds told pilots in a weekend update. "I understand full contract language is not going to be available, but if proposals are thrust in front of me without explanation, with veiled threats of doom and holes you could fly a B777 through, my vote is going to be no. Let's remember, trust between AA management and the pilots is less than zero."
He added: "On the other hand, if a proposal is understandable, provides language designed to reach a fair, final written agreement, and it has no obvious defects other than I am unhappy about a pay rate or a term or condition, then I will vote yes and you will get to make the final decision."
The chairman and vice chairman of the Los Angeles pilot base told their members that three current APA board members were also serving on the union board when American hurriedly forced through major contract concessions in 2003.
"All three stated that the process we saw last week was way worse than what they experienced in 2003 — less detail, less contract language, less time to review it," the Los Angeles leaders wrote.
"Their proposal came to us with noncontractual language and in a late and rushed, last-minute, fashion typical of AMR negotiations," New York-based pilots were told in a leadership message. "In order to allow the membership the ability to vote on the offer, several sections of our APA policy manual would need to be waived. More critically, numerous sections of the agreement were not given full explanation and were written as nondescriptive singular sentences."
In its latest offer, American proposes no pilot furloughs; $315 million in cost-cutting instead of the original $370 million demanded; six annual pay raises totaling 14.8 percent between now and 2017; and a 13.5 percent share of parent AMR Corp. stock when the company comes out of bankruptcy.
American last week offered to reopen its contract talks with flight attendants and the two TWU units that had turned down AMR's May proposals. The TWU told members Friday evening that it had asked American for negotiating dates. The union said negotiators "plan to get back to the table in the next few weeks."

Fiora Build Guide by Ryky

Fiora 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.
Why hello everyone! Glad you took the time to check this out.
To begin, I'd like to apologize for the build incompleteness. I bought Fiora as soon as she came out, and am still mastering her quirks and such. Anyway, I'll be editing this as I go along, so don't judge me if you perceive a weakness, I'll probably notice in game and change the build to counteract it.
As always, thanks for reading.
Glossary for Noobs:
AD: Attack Damage
AS: Attack Speed
LS: Life Steal
MR: Magic Resist
HR: Health Regen
HP: Health or Hit Points
Why This Build?
Because the suggested build is ******ed. Fiora's passive keeps her alive, so I don't need to build MR, making Mercury's Treads irrelevant. The basis of the build was basically to make her strengths more apparent throughout the match. She has extremely high AD, so to make her more powerful, I added large amounts of AD and LS. The added LS combined with her HR passive makes her impossible to stop when coupled with her base AS and her E ability, which unfairly boosts her AS. Basically, it's a berserker Fiora with relatively low HP.
This build will give you a powerhouse Fiora, with over 2.1 base AS at the end of the item sequence, with over 250 AD. LS of >30% with stacks. This, combined with her HR passive, makes her incredibly powerful, with enough survivability to keep her alive despite her low HP.
By the way, I understand that this is a low HP build. But I do not care. My ridiculous AS mid to late game combined with my LS and HR make me unkillable unless ganked.
Pros / Cons
-Ridiculously high damage output
-Abilities make chasing easy
-Great at farming
-Ult can easily turn a Pentakill if you're not stupid about it.
-Extremely, extremely squishy.
-Smart play required. No pressing R or Q and right clicking. *ahem, Tryn, Yi, ahem*
Summoner Spells
Ignite for dealing extra damage early and late game.
Flash for escaping.
Pretty standard.
I do not use heal because of her passive which heals her anyway, so I'll take the extra damage of Ignite, or sometimes even the getaway or chase power of Ghost instead. Depends on your style.
Skill Sequence
Her Q and E abilities really get the kills, so I max them early. The W ability is useful early game when it's possible to predict incoming attacks. The AD boost is also quite effective. Late game however, when team fights are abundant, this ability tends to get phased out. In my experience, anyway.
Runes + Masteries
Armor Pene. to break through tanks, especially helpful early game. The extra AD is devastating, and helps you get fed.
Obviously, AS. Needed to keep that passive working along with your LS.
I don't find the AD runes to be very effective at all in comparison to Armor Pene, thus their absence.
Masteries are purely reinforcing her AD Carry nature. 27 points in Offense with the slight armor boost of 3 points in Defense.

Shot it at Gangasagar Fair.
Gangasagar Mela is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal (INDIA). This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. This festival is celebrated during January every year and is a major attraction for millions of pilgrims from all over India.
The pilgrims come for a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (last day of the Bengali Month) Negha -Mid January. They take dips in the Ganges and offer water to the Sun God. The dip, as they say, purifies their 'self' and according to them, 'punya' can be obtained thus. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect......
Coming fair will be start from 13th Jan,2009.

PISCATAWAY, N.J., June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthEC, a single-platform population health management company improving outcomes and costs for value-based care providers, announced today that it is a top rated vendor in Chilmark Research's second annual care management report.
The comprehensive 2017 Care Management Market Trends Report assesses more than 25 solutions available today to meet the various needs of provider organizations pursuing care management strategies. The report notes the same four key market trends identified in its inaugural edition remain intact today driving primary care management: an increasing commitment to value-based reimbursement models, a focus on reducing downside risk, scrutiny about the cost and variability in care, and the continued shift from inpatient to outpatient care.
"Chilmark Research's report confirms HealthEC's emergence as one of the leading care management vendors supporting ACOs, CINs, IPAs, IDNs and other organizations servicing large Medicare, Medicaid and commercial populations," said Arthur Kapoor, President and CEO of HealthEC. "The report's high ranking of HealthEC's product capabilities and product innovation reflects our ability to align our solution with the needs of the value-based care market. Organizations choose HealthEC because results matter in the pursuit of insights into utilization, costs and outcomes to ensure their long-term viability."
HealthEC's product capabilities and innovation received the highest letter grade rating of all profiled vendors with consistent performance across all rating criteria, and defined strengths in the support of patient self-management, and communication across caregivers, patients and providers.
"At its core, care management is about delivering the right care in the right setting at the right time," said Matt Guldin, Senior Analyst at Chilmark Research and the report's co-author. "We are impressed with HealthEC's technology and their commitment to evidence-based, personalized care management. The company's work to reduce preventable readmissions, address social determinants of health, provide more personalized care plans and achieve sustained behavior change is producing measurable results across its broad client base."
To compile this report, Chilmark Research combined extensive primary and secondary research techniques to create a composite profile for each vendor. The independent analyst firm screened vendors via secondary research and telephone interviews with end users and consultants that have advised on, deployed or used a vendor's system. The report is available through Chilmark Research.

Unanswered: db2 on win-server 2000
Hi guys
I have a question on db2/windows server 2000.
The answer should be from a dba perspective.
1. There is a server named DW-RD22. On that server, there is a share called data. In Windows Server 2003, how do you access that share without mapping a drive?
2. Using the share in Question 1, if you do not have permissions to access the share, how do you resolve the issue?

I do believe that this is a windows issue, not a DB2 issue.

Yes, it is a windows issue. If Network Administartor is available, ask him.
But FYI
1 first of all user should have right to access the shared folder (granted by ADMN)
2 secondly it is available under Network Places - you simply click on it
3 you can try \\server\shared folder by typing in dos box or run box.
I hope that should help you

Destination Engagements
Indiana Farm Engagement Session
Now that we're in the slower season, I'm excited to look back at some shoots from last year. One of my favorites was this session I did for Olivia and JD in Indianapolis on a perfect summer day. We started the shoot at their gorgeous home with their pups as JD prepared the beginnings of dinner, and then moved onto a family friend's sprawling farm before we returned for wine and some of the best soup I've ever had (thanks, JD!). This was one of my favorite shoots ever, with the perfect combination of personal locations that held meaning to the couple and great styling that really beautifully complemented the feel we were going for. I love photographing in more outdoorsy locations—being able to stroll through a field on our own timetable is so relaxing and refreshing, and even lends itself to shooting some film as we did here! I can't say enough how important I think sessions are—spending a few hours with Olivia and JD really helped me learn more about their personal style, humor, and energy so that on their wedding day (which was equally lovely) we had such a well-developed bond that allowed for the most natural photos possible! Thanks again for having me down, you two! I had such a wonderful time and can't say enough about your hospitality.

Had my second onco meeting today, according to the MRI I have further lumps in my tight breast. It showed the cancer in the 5th vertibrae, and I am now on permanent pain meds. sigh......
Aug 23, 2013 - 5:03 pm
What treatments are you taking right now. Are you having a mastectomy? Chemo, Rads, I also have mets to my spine I know the pain. Mine is in L1 & L2. But as soon as I started chemo the really bad pain stopped. I do have damage from the cancer though. I have to take pain pills mostly at night so I can sleep. During the day I cope with it. Don't like taking too many narcotics. I also have mets to my lungs and the damage to them was severe I have to be on oxygen now if I go outside. ( I live in a humid state ) or with exertion. I wish you all the best and you are in my prayers. Please keep up posted. I'll check back on you.
Take care Kay
Aug 23, 2013 - 11:27 pm
So very sorry, hon. What else, besides pain meds? What about the lumps? Surgery?
(deep sigh...)
Remember - we do what we have to do, so that we can do what we want to do.
Kindest regards, Susan
P.S. to Kay: Sending best wishes for you, with hugs. I hope your post inspires Julia.
Aug 24, 2013 - 7:24 am
Kay, I am not doing chemo, I am on a hormonal and a bone strenghener. Hate doing pain meds and have no tolerance for codeine, so that is not an option either. Have heard from several people that the radiation has really helped them with spinal tumours so keeping fingers crossed on that.
Susan, I know, it sure sucks. But I am getting by O.K. Have to prepare for a birthday party for tomorrow, and this afternoon I am driving for a wedding with the single (Rosie) then later we are hoping to hitch up one of the teams and have a bbq. (+ loads of pain killers) lol.
Thanks both of you J xxxxxxx
Aug 24, 2013 - 8:08 am
NUTS! That is all I can say, dearest! I HATE this monster cancer!!!!
Is your 'bone strengthener' helping at all? I had an infusion for the chemo-induced osteoporosis, and it seems to be working!
Hugs, Kathi
Aug 25, 2013 - 1:25 am
Hi Tasha,
If hormonal works you should feel better in two months. I know two months sounds forever when it is about pain. There is a crean and patches for pain ask your doctor. Initially I used Lidocaine patches every night, they helped tp sleep. I did not have radiation for spine, because I have had Chemo it it did work.
Happy Birthday!!
Aug 26, 2013 - 1:04 am
my spine and hip pain for about 2 years. I go back to my rad onco to see if it ia possible now to have it for my right femur. nIt was amazining how quickly the pain subsided. Had another MRI on Wednesday so the onco can see if it will be possible to have more rads to my right femur. Hopefully the hormonal meds will work and stop the progression.

Petunia is a year and two months old now. This picture was taken last fall. What an amazing animal and experience it has been to raise her and watch her grow. She still comes around almost once a day for a visit and I enjoy every second of it. There's nothing quite like a deer that lets you love on her and returns the favor. If I stay outside long enough she'll lay down after eating and she always faces the lake, it is as though she is watching the sunset. So beautiful.

APPLICATION: Black only, in sizes S to XL
WHAT IT IS: The Squad Cold Weather Riding Vest is made specifically for motocross and off-road riders to wear either over or under their jerseys while riding. Featuring a Neoprene front panel, stretch mesh side panels and a water-resistant nylon back panel, the vest also boasts a double-layer constructed ventilation system to keep things from getting too hot. Though most motocrossers won't appreciate the reflective piping, those of us who venture onto the road aboard dual-sport machines might, and trail riders will also dig the zippered pockets on the chest, lower back, and both front sides.
HITS: Back in the day during my stint as Test Editor at Dirt Rider Magazine, I acquired a Moose Racing riding vest, which—like the TLD Squad Vest—was designed specifically for riding motorcycles. Featuring a purple nylon shell, I ditched my trusty Moose vest when Prince changed his name to "The Artist. After all, with the exception of Answer Racing's new purple girl's gear, purple is a color that has (thankfully) been absent from motocross since Kawasaki came to its senses and ditched the purple, green and pink paint splatter motif.
But back to the Squad Vest! I, for one, hate riding when it's cold and would rather sweat bullets and drink 10 gallons of water on a hot summer day. Riding in a hooded sweatshirt or enduro jacket in cold weather is pretty lame, too, as you inevitably become too hot and sweat your ass off; only to become chilled to the bone once you stop. A riding vest is the perfect solution in most instances, but to the best of my knowledge a new MX-specific vest has not been introduced in years. (Sure, there's those stiff, sleeve-less nylon enduro-jacket things, but they make you look like a Power Ranger reject.) The Squad Vest is both comfortable and relatively inoffensive when it comes to looks, as its sleek black design isn't too baggy or too tight. The Neoprene front panel blocks the wind nicely, and actually provides some roost protection, to boot! We found that the vest kept our core nice and toasty, while still allowing just the right amount of body heat to escape.
MISSES: Not really a miss, but for motocross applications the pockets are pretty useless; who carries their keys or a monkey wrench during a 20-minute moto?
THE VERDICT: If you like to stay reasonably warm while riding motos during the chilly winter months, the Troy Lee Designs Squad Cold Weather Riding Vest is as good as it gets.

Hello ppl!
I was reading the man pages for hosts.allow and hosts.deny, but have a hard time understanding how the naming convention for services works.
I want to add ALL: ALL in hosts.deny, and add rules to hosts.allow to enable the following ports ONLY access from outside:
httpd (port 80) access to all
pop3 access
smtp access (I use qmail)
and mysqld (3306)
I also have no idea how I can tell which services are being "supervised" by tcpwrapers. If I should make all my services run through xinetd instead/as well or not.
Basically, I want to secure up my box and need some help!
Thanks a bunch,
The Mutha.

The evolution of environmental and labor productivity dynamics
This paper provides new empirical evidence on delinking in income–environment dynamic relationships for CO 2 and air pollutants at the sector level. A panel dataset based on the Italian NAMEA (National Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts) over 1990–2007 is analyzed, focusing on both emissions efficiency (EKC model) and total emissions (IPAT model). Results show that, looking at sector evidence, both decoupling and also eventually re-coupling trends could emerge along the path of economic development. The overall performance on greenhouse gases, here CO 2 , is not compliant with Kyoto targets. SOx and NOx show decreasing patterns, though the shape is affected by some outlier sectors with regard to joint emission-productivity dynamics. Services tend to present stronger delinking patterns across emissions than manufacturing. Trade expansion validates the pollution haven in some cases, but also shows negative signs when only EU 15 trade is considered. This may due to technology spillovers and a positive 'race to the top' rather than the bottom among EU 15 trade partners. General R&D expenditure shows weak correlation with emissions efficiency. SUR estimators (Seemingly Unrelated Regressions) suggest that, as regards manufacturing, the slope varies across sectors. Further research should be directed towards deeper investigation of trade relationship at the sector level and increased research into and efforts to produce specific sectoral data on 'environmental innovations'.

Kochi, Jul 24 (UNI) Kerala High Court today adjourned to August 4 the hearing in the 'Sister Abhaya Case' to view the compact disc submitted by the CBI containing visuals of the narco-analysis tests conducted by it.
Justice V Ramakumar, hearing a petition filed by M Thomas, father of the deceased nun, had earlier directed the CBI to submit in the court the CD containing the visuals of the narco-analysis tests conducted on Father Jose Puthrikae, Father Thomas Kottur and Sr Sephy last year.
In his petition, Mr Thomas complained the CBI was not conducting the investigation expeditiously.
The body of the 21-year-old nun was found in a well in the St Pius Convent at Kottayam in March, 1992. She was allegedly sexually assaulted before her death.

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.
Introduction to Zed
Zed is a high mobility, high burst, melee assassin that excels at helping his team take care of a squishy target with relative ease after obtaining just a few core items.
Marks: I tend to take 9 Marks of Damage over armor penetration marks. The reasoning behind this is because the early game can sometimes be rough for Zed in certain lanes. Having the early AD over armor pen allows him to last hit easier and be able to trade better. There is no question that having armor pen reds is the better choice for scaling, but the flat attack damage helps a ton early.
Seals: I always take 9 seals of armor on Zed. Even if you lane against an AP caster, there will almost always be a marksman/adc on the other team so it never hurts. The probability of you laning against a ranged auto attacking AP will also be pretty high, so the early armor will really minimize their auto attack damage.
Glyphs: The 9 glyphs of magic resist are a no brainer, you will almost always lane against an AP in mid lane as Zed. These will help you survive longer and in turn deal more damage because of increased survivability.
Quints: For my quints I take one for Attack Damage, and two For Lifesteal. These quintessences allow you to not sacrifice a large amount of damage early, while giving you a surprising amount of extra sustain from the lifesteal in lane.
For my masteries on Zed I take 21/9/0 notably putting 4 points into sorcery for the cooldown reduction, and adding 0 points in defense to hardiness. The reason these are both notable choices, is because some people prefer to put 4 points into fury instead of sorcery for the bonus attack speed. The reason I think the CDR is better than attack speed is as follows: 1.) You get 40% from Blade of the Ruined King which is a key component on Zed, so the extra 4% is abysmal. 2.) There aren't many items outside of the brutalizer that provide cooldown reduction and make sense on Zed.
Addressing the defensive side of the masteries.
The fact that you scale much harder per level with bonus armor as compared to magic resist on Zed is the reason why I take all 3 points in Resistance in the defensive tree.
Blade of the Ruined King it the most essential item to get on Zed. While your ultimate Death Mark is active, you can use the activate of BotRK to add bonus physical damage dealt, and percentage health damage, which will directly add more damage to your ultimate.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Extreme outplay potential, especially with his new ultimate.
Great scaling and ability to assassinate high value enemy targets.
Fantastic wave clear, allowing him to farm wraiths with ease.
Energy champion, allowing for ability spam in moderation.
Great splitpusher.
Cons: Moderately high skill cap as indicated by his overview on the client.
Not the greatest champion at coming back from a deficit.
Fairly item dependent.
It's important to note that this itemization and overall strategy to playing Zed has been deemed the most effective by myself after playing him and watching others do so. If you prefer another method or think mine is flawed, please leave feedback as i'm only trying to improve the quality of the game for inexperienced Zed players.

Buying guides
Gate buying guide
Choosing the right garden gate can help finish off the look of your fence or wall – as well as granting you access to your home of course.
When considering what type of gate to get, think about its purpose. If it's for the boundary of your property, needing to provide security for your children and pets as well as privacy, you'll probably want a tall, solid wooden gate. On the other hand, a front gate can be smaller and more decorative – after all, you're inviting people into your home. And it's also critical to consider your surroundings – the theme of your garden as well as any current fencing or walling you have. Are you looking for something subtle that blends in, or one that makes more of a statement and acts as a focal point?
Whatever your need or outdoor style, let our guide help you find the right gate for you and your home.

I was taught how to treat a woman by a woman and how to be a man by a real man. Understand
I do not and will not objectify anyone, even my crazed adversaries. I will appreciate them nonetheless. Even if they are not as forgiving
Hahahahaha ... agreed ... reminded me of an old Chinese saying: 因误会而结合,因了解而分开...
The best way to get to know a person is to borrow money from him/her.
That makes since, unless you are a deadbeat.

Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim responded to rumours surrounding Jose Mourinho being linked with replacing Vitor Pereira as manager.
Yildirim told newspaper bosses printing the story to cough up and finance the deal they have been so keen on Fenerbahce pursuing.
In a tongue in cheek response to reporters Yildirim was quoted by the Hurriyet as saying: "Why don't you all get together find the money and we will bring him here. He wants €10 million per-season if you find the money I will lead the talks."
Fenerbahce have a long history with Mourinho in fact they were the first foreign club to have made an offer for the Portuguese manager back in 2003.
Speaking at a conference in Istanbul back in 2012 the former Chelsea boss said: "I was coaching Porto and still young when Fenerbahce made me an offer. They were the first foreign club to make me an offer."
Mourinho held talks with Fenerbahce board members at the Hacidan restaurant in the well-to-do Etiler area of Istanbul.
The Portuguese manager joined Chelsea as his first foreign club instead enjoying a successful stint in London winning the Premier League and FA Cup.
Mourinho is currently without a job but has been in close talks with Manchester United and is expected to replace Louis van Gaal.
