Hedge Fund Founder Helps Document City's History
James Dinan wants to give New York City history the respect he says it deserves.
The founder of hedge fund York Capital Management is making a $1 million donation to the Museum of the City of New York to fund the research and development of a 25,000-square-foot museum exhibit chronicling the city's history from its inception.
"The story of New York is the greatest story ever told and we think New Yorkers should tell the world," says Mr. Dinan, a self-described failed history teacher. (Mr. Dinan now manages $15 billion at York Capital, where funds were up 7% to 16% last year.)
"The city has never really had a world-class museum dedicated to its own history," Mr. Dinan says. "This exhibit will make an inspirational statement upfront that we hope will motivate and excite other New Yorkers as well as other believers in this city."
Scheduled to open in 2015, it will become the museum's anchoring permanent exhibit and recount the cultural, political, economic, architectural and geographic history of New York City in a multimedia installation spanning two floors. The cost of the four-year project is likely to range from $10 million to $14 million.
Leading the project's research will be James Sanders, architect and co-author of "New York: A Documentary Film and New York: An Illustrated History."
"New York is the most important city in America and there isn't an in-depth exhibition on the history of the city anywhere," says the museum's president Susan Henshaw Jones. "We're going to show what makes New York tick."
The new exhibit is the latest in a series of moves intended to reshape the museum after the building and the organization fell out of the spotlight for a quarter century.
Founded in 1923 to showcase New York's history, by the 21st century the museum had fluttered into disregard. Overshadowed by the grander institutions along the Upper East Side's Museum Mile, the museum's attendance had shrunk. In the early 2000s it considered merging with the New-York Historical Society and then flirted with a new home at the Tweed Courthouse downtown but neither plan came to bear.
In 2003 a new president took over, additional board members were appointed and the organization began to redefine its mission: It brought in more public and education programs, began digitizing its collections and more than tripled its attendance. In 2005 the museum embarked on a multiphase, $85 million expansion and modernization that is set to be completed in 2015.
"We are revitalizing this institution and giving it a rightful place in our city," says Mr. Dinan, who has serves as chairman of the museum's board of directors since 2006.

Create Better Sites With These Web Page Design Tips
Website creation can be quite intimidating and mysterious art to those that aren't experienced with it.However, after you learn what you need to know, you will realize that it is really not so difficult.
A successful website needs to work for visitors using any browser, so you should test your website in various browsers to ensure that any visitor can view it correctly. What works in Chrome might not appear the way you want it in Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.
Make it possible for users to cancel an action if they need to. This might include completing forms, opting in to an email newsletter, or even browsing the website for certain topics or archives. You will inevitably lose repeat customers if you don't allow them to follow through on a purchase that they have decided against for now.
You want to set up some way to let visitors give you about your website. If your visitors feel like they are a part of your site, he or she will want to see your website again.
It doesn't matter how you have designed your website; you have to make sure that every file has a small file size. This is because file sizes are directly affects its loading time. You always want the speediest load times possible. You must also keep in mind that everyone doesn't have a high speed Internet connection. Test your site to ensure that it loads rapidly for every visitor.
Learning website creation gets easier the more you work at it. Start with simple pages of HTML to find out if you have a handle on the fundamentals.
Newsletters are great to have for both novices and professionals alike.
Buy books that can help you become a great web page design techniques.Start out with selections that cover the basics, then gradually upgrade.
You can get ideas from other websites, so be selective and creative while in the design phase.
This will boost the usability by making it easier for visitors to navigate. It is very easy to include this option on your website, and it will pay off in a big way.
If you happen to be working with FileZilla, then take advantage of built-in features such as quick menus that immediately pull up your username, domain, domain and even passwords. This can save you a ton of time.
The web page design process doesn't end when you roll out your website has gone live. Be prepared to keep active with your website. You won't need to update it constantly, but you must do regular updates. This is a must especially important if you will be hosting videos or deal with current events. Updating a site isn't as quick and simple as updating your blog. You need to put work into it.
You should always be ready and willing to learn new things during the process of designing your first site. Once you understand one aspect of web design, you should proceed to learn the next component. This could slow down the process of site-building, but you will truly know everything you need to know in order to build sites in the future.
Remember that some people's connections aren't as fast as yours if you are posting video files on your website. While you can be tempted to have videos at 5,000 kb/s, that may be too fast for viewers on dial-up. This means a slow load time for the video that's going to buffer every few seconds.
We hope this article has taken the mystery out of website design. If you know enough about web design, you can easily design a website to meet almost any need. If you use what you've learned above, you should be able to create a great website very quickly.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon name Acutt comes from the ancient personal name Eggar.
Acutt Early Origins
Lancashire in the north of England, where they held a family seat from ancient times, but from about the 13th century moved south to Foston in Derbyshire, and Sudbury, in the same county.
Acutt Spelling Variations
Acutt Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Acutt were recorded, including Agard, Aggard, Aegard, Agart, Aggart, Egard and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Acutt family emigrate to North America: Edward Agard was one of the earliest settlers in the New World, being recorded in Virginia in the year 1640; Adam Egart settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1749.

Jay Z signs 10-year deal with tour promoter Live Nation
The rapper is said to have signed up to a £155 million new contract.
Jay Z has reportedly signed a $200 million (£155 million), 10-year deal with tour promoter Live Nation.
The rapper announced his ongoing relationship with the company which began in 2008, while an anonymous source is said to have revealed the price tag associated with the deal.
The anonymous source who is close to the situation but forbidden to talk about it publicly told The Associated Press that Jay Z earned $200 million for the partnership.
Jay Z said in a statement: "Live Nation and I entered unchartered territory in 2008. Over nine years, we have travelled the world producing historic music experiences.
"(Live Nation president and chief executive officer) Michael Rapino is an industry visionary, and this renewed partnership is a testament to our long-standing relationship and the talented individuals at Live Nation.
"For the next 10 years, we will continue redefining the live event landscape."
Live Nation has produced a number of Jay Z's successful live shows, including his recent collaborative tours with his wife Beyonce and with Justin Timberlake.
In 2007, Live Nation signed a $120 million deal with Madonna.
Jay Z's contract will see him tied to touring with the promoter until he is 57.

Peruvian expert on capitalism to meet regional government ministers
Hernando De Soto dubbed by some as the world's leading voice on capitalism, will join an early debate on the role of governance at the upcoming Dubai Strategy Forum, scheduled for October 28-30 2002 in Dubai.
The potentially buoyant debate, possibly the first time the need for a shake-up in the style of governance that prevails across the region is discussed on a public stage, sees De Soto head-to-head with government ministers, including Pakistan's Minister of Finance, Shaukat Aziz.
De Soto has served at executive committee level and at the helm of many leading corporations, such as Swiss Bank, Peru's General Reserve Bank and the General Agreement for Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
Looking at participation at the Forum, the meeting has already attracted the attention of leading brands, who have committed their support as Organizing Partners. These are Dubai Media City, the rapidly emerging global media hub, Enoc, a leader in upstream and downstream activities in the oil and gas sector, Emirates, the UAE's national airline, the GCC's leading English newspaper, Gulf News; National Bank of Dubai, Dubai's national bank and PricewaterhouseCoopers, the international firm of auditors and business advisors. — (menareport.com)

Tevar starring Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha will be releasing on 9th January and the movie seems promising considering that the original version was a super-hit.
Tevar is a remake of Telugu flick, Okkadu starring Mahesh Babu and Bhumika Chawla in leading roles. This movie was remade in Tamil as Gilli starring Vijay and Trisha as the leading stars, both the original and the Tamil remake proved to be a super hit movie.
Tevar will be the second remake but director, Amit Sharma says it will be nothing like the original. "It took me seven months to write the script -- that's why I don't call Tevar a remake, it's just an adaptation of the original," he added.
Sonakshi Sinha who appears lean nowadays actually lost weight for Tevar, director Amit says, The role required her to lose weight and she accepted the challenge and lost a lot of weight, which is very much appreciated.
"Sonakshi is one of the most brilliant actors that we have in the industry. The best part about her is that she can just change into anything within minutes... that's magical. She is very hardworking and there are no tantrums at all," he added.
Lead actor Arjun feel Tevar is the perfect film for both class and mass, he says, "India has always been happy watching entertaining cinema. I think 'Tevar' is all those ingredients served in the most correct manner. But it has a genuine emotion and a heart in it, along with a good storyline. I don't believe it's a frivolous "masala" film. This is one thing which we all worked towards so that one doesn't say it's a time pass film. There is a journey, there are characters, and there is a story."
Well, let's check out the top reasons why the movie is actually a must watch...
Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor is a talented actor who has given his best in all the films he has done so far. There could not have been a better hero to step inside Mahesh Babu's shoes.
Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha is yet another talented actress who get's her performance noticed in spite of being in a hero dominated film. She sure to make a mark in Tevar as well.
Manoj Bajpayee
Manoj Bajpayee is a class actor who can essay any role he takes upon himself. Those who have watched the film say that his performance was the best. So need I say more?
Action Scenes
The original as well as the Tamil remake has some kick ass action scenes and from the looks of the trailer, Arjun too seems to have performed some daring stunts which you not want to miss watching on the big screen.
Sonakshi's Action
It may come as a surprise but Sona has also shot some daring action scenes in the film. She has shot for them herself, so another aspect for which you should watch the movie.
Sizzling Chemistry
This is the first time they have been paired together and their chemistry on screen seems so real and hot. Their real life love may have worked out in their favour while shooting.
Amit Sharma
This may be his debut film but he has shot many landmark ads for Google, Lifebuoy, Visa, Idea, which says a lot about his capability.
Shruti Haasan
Shruti Haasan's very first item number in Bollywood, for those of you who have seen the song, would you not like to see her hot moves on the big screen.
The movie has some awesome songs, each of which is catchy and addictive. Better songs lead to better movie experience.

February 12, 2014 would be a memorable date for two Chinese-backed firms who are aiming to acquire the assets of collapsed carmaker Fisker Automotive Holdings Inc. One of them would go home getting nothing of the carmaker while the other would rejoice after winning the auction set on that date. The companies -- Wanxiang Group and Hybrid Tech Holdings LLC – are seen to be aiming to acquire Fisker's 18 patents and a potential toehold in the United States and China.
However, the winner has to face the fact that Fisker hasn't built a vehicle since 2012 and its $103,000 Karma plug-in hybrid sports sedan was dubbed as a "basket case" by Consumer Reports. Fisker was also labeled a "loser" by Republican Mitt Romney during 2012 US presidential debates.
Likewise, it most visible asset is a neglected former GM site that Fisker never used. With two companies seeking to acquire Fisker's asset, a bankruptcy judge has to set a Feb. 12 auction for them. "It's not about the manufacturing," Steven Szakaly, chief economist for the National Automobile Dealers Association, told Bloomberg.
"It's about the intellectual property." Fisker boasts of 18 patents include grille designs, a fender vent and electric-vehicle drivetrain technology, according to the database of the US Patent and Trademark Office. Fisker also boasts of at least 18 more patent applications pending, including in aluminum subframing and solar-car technologies, according to Charles Shifley, a patent attorney at Banner & Witcoff Ltd.
Blair Jacobs, a patent lawyer with McDermott Will & Emery, remarked that Fisker's patents have several possible applications for potential buyers who are keen to enter the growing alternative-fuels market. "To have a jump start with a portfolio that took three to five years to develop is really substantial," Jacobs told Bloomberg. For a Chinese company, Fisker's remaining assets do hold particular promise as they would enable them revive the Fisker brand China and have an entry point in the US.

Canadian Blood Services Says Paid Plasma Clinics Are Harming Voluntary Donations
CEO of CBS speaks out against private-paid plasma clinics. Confirms that they harm the voluntary donor base in Saskatchewan where the private clinic set-up.
PLEASE READ CBC's national news story here.
Canadian Blood Services has confirmed that they will not purchase plasma product from Canadian Plasma Resources or their affiliates.
Minister Glavine initially indicated he didn't have a problem with private for-profit plasma clinics setting up in Nova Scotia. BloodWatch.org paid the Nova Scotia legislature a visit in April of this year and Minister Glavine rescinded his support, citing the fact that he endorses the WHO recommendations of all blood and plasma collection being voluntary by 2020.
We have reached out to all parties in Nova Scotia to let them know why it is so important to protect our public blood system and implement legislation. NDP Health Critic, Dave Wilson, has introduced a private members bill of the Voluntary Blood Donations Act, but so far, Minister Glavine hasn't supported it.
We are hopeful that Minister Glavine will take a clearer position on our public blood system and pass legislation in Nova Scotia. We've spoken to the opposition parties and we are confident they will support efforts to protect our public blood system.
The Nova Scotia Health Coalition has an active campaign to stop paid plasma in the province.
*CPR alert – Lobbyists for CPR met with Minister Glavine's office / staff in 2014.
Nova Scotia has a very unique place in our country's blood history. Former Health Minister, George Moody, broke ranks with the provinces during the tainted blood era and helped get compensation for families who were impacted. Some of the bravest and most effective blood advocates came from Nova Scotia.

Admin privledges
I've been a very happy Mandrake/Mandriva user for the past 10 years. I recently swapped over to Slackware/Salix on a new HP Compaq.
During the install of the Salix/KDE I was informed at a dialog box that users could not make system or hardware changes from the GUI apps. I used the same user ID and password for both the administrator and myself as a user. After a successful installation I try to make many other setups involving the system and hardware from the various GUI apps in the system. When the app asks for the admin ID and password, the apps will not accept it.
My question, how can I access the GUI based apps as an administrator ? I'm not adverse to the command line but I can not configure my machine exclusively through the command line.
Many thanks in advance,
You can typically run any program at root (administrator) by simply opening a terminal, typing "su" to become root, and then typing the name of the program. I just did this with nautilus and the program came up---but with no cues to remind me that I was running in superuser mode--see below
The standard advice, however, is don't do this. For example, with one small slip of the mouse, you can very quickly kill your entire system with the file manager.
Thanks, I will try the next time I start the machine up. The big problem with this is knowing the names of all the apps I need to run.
To open any GUI apps in KDE as root, use kdesu.
For example:
kdesu system-settings
kdesu dolphin
1. Typing the wrong password
2. You're using a keyboard layout that doesn't correspond to the one you used during installation, so you think you're typing the correct password, but you're not.
3. You have a laptop and you have set the numlock key to being on, so you think you're typing the correct password, but you're not.
4. You have a laptop and you had the numlock key on when you set the password, but you don't now, so you think you're typing the correct password, but you're not.
Thanks for everyones help. The admin log on problem was solved. I don't exactly know how, maybe by logging on as root through the terminal registered the root password so that the GUI apps would accept it, I don't know, now back to setting up my new Salix machine. Not there yet but close.

Tks very much Mad!Now I get how open the seconds models in same iframe of first model because I'm dev for mobile. Or I try st like this:

@valeriodeluca To add more models just declare the urlids on var models =And add more iframes as api-frame0, api-frame1, api-frame2...
var models =
api-frame0, api-frame1, api-frame2...
You'll can hide all info frames using jQuery and show them when reached annotation .
To use on mobile just change the class of contentframe and menuframe to "col-xs-12 col-sm-8" and "col-xs-12 col-sm-4". It's fully responsive. Use "back to top" affix button if needed. I didn't try "leaflet-control-window" with Sketchfab i-frame.

I would like to camp on to this request also. I have been stymied in all attempts to try to find out information about any immigration records from Transylvania Saxons from 1700 - 1730 to Pennsylvania. My ancestor, Johannes Sechler (also spelled Segler, Zechler, by mistake) paid taxes on land in 1734 and my father was convinced he came from Transylvania.

The two of us, veterans of the civil rights movement in this country, have personally been the victims of racial discrimination in voting practices. One of us has experienced the challenge of having to pay a poll tax to vote. The other has held voting discrimination hearings throughout the state of Texas, and has had to establish a state-wide hotline to assist minorities who were being challenged when they attempted to exercise their right to vote.
We were at the hearing because we thought it important that our presence be noted and because we believe that a fair and equitable voting system is fundamental to American democracy.
We listened intently as it was argued that Section 5 should stand. We also paid close attention to those arguments that opposed the provision that mandates a clear demonstration of neither a discriminatory impact nor purpose if changes are made to voting practices or procedures by states or other government entities.
Like many others in the room we found ourselves gasping for air when Justice Scalia, the leader of the court's conservative wing, said that Congressional action in 2006 that reauthorized the Voting Rights Act was the result of "a phenomenon that is called perpetuation of racial entitlement."
Scalia also said that the ninety-eight members of the Senate and the 390 members of the House of Representatives who voted for the Act did so because they were afraid that they would not be re-elected if they opposed it. The Justice opined that Congress was ill prepared to decide voting practices. Justices like himself should be the decision makers, he suggested.
It would, indeed, be woeful if the final arbiters of voting practices were people such as Justice Scalia who demonstrated his insensitivity to the countless numbers of families whose late relatives gave their lives in the struggle to bring about voter equality in this country.
If Justice Scalia were to read literature other than law books he would discover that since 2010 eight southern states have passed laws designed to make voting more cumbersome for minority voters. He would understand why groups such as the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have consistently fought for Section 5. The federal government has relied on Section 5 as a barrier to prevent those with malicious intentions from setting the country back fifty years by imposing restraints on voting. Those who oppose Section 5 are living in a fantasy world.
It is our hope that the Supreme Court, when it finally makes its decision, will grasp the fundamental reasoning behind the duty of Congress to write legislation that protects all of our country's citizens without regard to race, national origin, gender or sexual preference.
Justice Scalia's reasoning contravenes that long standing principle. It is our hope that at least five members of the Supreme Court disagree with him and rule that Section 5 should stand. The very future of our democracy is at stake.
Johnson, a Democrat, represents the Thirtieth Congressional District of Texas in the United States House of Representatives.
Bledsoe is an Austin, Texas based attorney who is the principal of the Texas NAACP.

The introduction was kind of a wash, a climactic third act delivered we'd been left out of the first two acts unless we'd read novels and participated in an event that's not yet live. But Shadowmoon Valley was where I could start seeing the pure promise of this expansion realized, the beautiful idea of a Draenor still filled with Draenei before the corruption and assault of the Horde, an alien landscape far from what was familiar on Azeroth. Not too far, of course, but just far enough to feel like we'd really come to a strange new place. And, of course, the first thing you do is unlock your Garrison.
If my first impression of the WoD beta, which I posted last week, was negative, then this is where it took a sharp nosedive into something resembling rage. But let me start off with a statement that might seem to make no sense, in this context: I've always been fine with housing never being a part of World of Warcraft.
Those of you who follow my writing here on Massively know how much I love player housing. I adore player housing. My main inWildStar scrimped and saved as necessary to get a big house as soon as I could afford it just because I wanted to have more housing bits to place. I am torn between waiting for the full personal houses in Final Fantasy XIV and just buying a private room for my free company's house, which I helped fund; I also helped fund the company of a friend because houses. I like housing a lot.
But I'm fine with leaving out housing for the same reason that I'm fine with games leaving lots of things out: I'd rather have a game full of developed features than lackluster one. This is why Garrisons initially made me super excited. My own outpost, one which I could place wherever I wanted, gave rise to dreams of incredible customization. This wasn't going to be just housing; it was housing developed by a company that can shotgun money into development without a care in the world! It made me happy.
Of course, those beautiful dreams got shot down and picked apart piece by piece. We were told that no one wanted to playThe Sims in World of Warcraft (spoiler: yes I do) and that we would be limited to either human or orcish buildings. The ability to choose which zone you could place your Garrison in was removed. And I got more and more leery because increasingly Garrisons began to look like a half-baked version of housing integrated into the leveling experience.
Having played with it a bit now, I can say that, at the moment, that interpretation is inaccurate. It is a half-baked Facebook game integrated into the leveling experience. Except those usually give more housing options.
As soon as you make your Garrison, it's already filled with NPCs, generally people whom you've seen wandering about in the game for years. On Alliance side, you have Baros Alexston leading the architecture right away, a man known to fans as being the architect behind Stormwind City. It's the sort of thing that stands up and slaps you across the face with the knowledge that this isn't your place, not really.
Your two main means of interacting with the Garrison are the architect's table and the mission book. The former is the extent of the customization you get for your Garrison. There are several plots spread throughout the Garrison of varying sizes, and once you unlock the blueprint for a given building, you can build it on a plot of the corresponding size. Plots can also be upgraded for the price of more Garrison resources. Right off the bat, you get access to the Barracks, which gives you an ability on a long cooldown when you're in the area.
From what we've seen in previews, every major upgrade for your Garrison follows a similar pattern: You can choose one of two abilities on a cooldown that works within a zone, for example. This is something less than building a personal fortress. Instead, at a glance, you're just choosing between trinkets to use when you're soloing.
The mission book, meanwhile, is where you really get into the Facebook elements of Garrisons. Missions come up, and then you drop your followers in and send them off on missions for a small number of resources. Success will level them up and reward you with various things, like gear for your followers, gear for you, and so forth. Your agency here is just a matter of choosing which of your various followers are suited to the task; it's more or less the same as Star Trek Online's Duty Officer system with slightly more dials.
This in and of itself isn't new; Blizzard has always had a penchant for taking pieces of other games and working them into WoW. What sets this apart is that it's an inelegant kludge. Rather than a WoW take on housing, Garrisons seem like a series of mechanics bolted on without much regard for how fun they'll be in play.
Recruiting followers was entertaining as many of them are found just through questing, exploring side objectives, and the like. Do a series of quests for this Draenei lady and she'll sign up and help with your Garrison. Of course, she's basically invisible after that, which means that you feel less like you've assembled a team of people and more like you caught another Pokémon, but I do appreciate the effort. Having a place to call your own in a limited sense is nice, although despite the fact that my wife and I both searched, neither of us could find the option to summon a friend to your Garrison. (It may not be implemented yet.)
Garrisons also suffer at the moment from having an interface designed to require a whole lot of back-and-forth ambling. You can check on your mission progress from anywhere, but in order to send your followers on more missions, you have to stop what you're doing, head back to your Garrison, and go back to managing things. It's at once comprehensible and annoying.
On the one hand, great, more reason to go back. On the other hand, for something supposedly integrated into leveling, this feature keeps pulling me out of leveling and back to water my crops… er… send my followers on new missions. As I noted that this is a lot like Star Trek Online's Duty Officer system, I should also point out that STO doesn't force you to go anywhere to manage your officers.
Other bloggers have opined that Garrisons don't seem to know at this point what they want to be, but I think they have a fairly clear focus at this point — it's just a disappointingly bland focus. They're a quest hub that you upgrade with a Facebook game built in. Maybe I'd be less disappointed if the feature hadn't been sold as housing and then systematically stripped of housing elements. I don't know.
But they also manage to undersell the point of having housing. Ideally, they offer an investment for players who want to do something other than just grind upward eternally. They're a side activity, something different to do. Garrisons, at this point, have nothing for you to do other than just set up your missions and then wait. With no decorating and a minimum of real choices, they're just daily or weekly quests that you fire and forget until you reap rewards at high levels.
Combine that with the fact that every Garrison is going to look pretty same-ish and it gets worse. When you consider that a fully upgraded Garrison is just the same dozen buildings that you've seen in outposts throughout the game and based on the architecture of the two races with the largest number of settlements… fatigue sets in early.
And this is the one big marquee feature of the expansion, I'll note. This is the big new thing that's being introduced to the game. Compare it to new races or new classes or new levels back when talents were awarded every level. Compare it to the difference between Azeroth and Outland or Outland or Northrend.
Stay tuned later this week as I finish out this trio of beta impressions with a look at WoD's questing.

30 week appt today and PISSED...updated!

I have a VBAC/RCS question for you...
I had my 30-week appt today and saw the nurse practioner.
Everything looked great- 18 lb weight gain, bp looks great, strong h/b.
However, she informed me that my doctor would be doing a rcs unless I go into labor on my own before 39 weeks. (WHAT?!)
I asked why, and she said "Oh, statistics show it is much safer for the baby."
Only with Noah did I labor before 39 weeks, just b/c my water had broken, and they had to induce me b/c contractions hadn't even begun. I mean, how many people actually go into labor BEFORE 39 weeks on their own? Sound super fatalistic to me.
I told her that I didn't want to schedule a rcs. Why couldn't I go until 40 weeks? She then said, "Well, in two weeks you can ask her. She MAY let you go to 40 if things are progressing well." So I asked what testing they'd planned to do to see if "things are progressing well" and she said, "there aren't any". ????
I feel like I've had the ol' bait and switch!
DH said "Well, let them schedule- we won't show up."
I mean, I am not anti-cs under necessary reasons, but to just schedule one b/c I am at 39 weeks sound bunk to me.
What do you think? I am bummed.
***my doc's nurse just called (NOT the NP) and said she doesn't know why I was told that. She said as long as the baby is healthy I can go to 41 weeks or more. She said, "you are fine, today looked great, and we are rooting for you". I feel sooooo much better. Still wonder why the NP said that, but remembered that she said her background was in high-risk pg before coming to this office, so maybe that's why. So happy to not feel like I'm on the clock!
Thank you Vicki for an beautiful siggy!

In clean but at times inconsistent 0.3 to 1 metre (one to three foot) waves, Munro, the 20th seed, comfortably won today's 30-minute final over top seed and three-time world champion Andy Irons, of Hawaii, to claim the US$30,000 first prize and the right to ring the coveted Bell trophy.
Munro caught the opening wave in the final, scoring 6.17 (out of 10), but Irons' first ride moments later was a very good 7.5. The pair then traded the lead a few times with average rides, before the Australian caught the best single ride of the decider at the halfway mark – an 8.57 – and was never headed.
The 26-year-old from Scotts Head on the NSW north coast posted a total heat score of 16.57 (out of a possible 20 points) from his best two rides – an 8.57 and and 8.2 – with Irons scoring a total of 15.07 from his best two rides, a 7.50 and a 7.57.
Munro's victory today – only his 2nd WCT event win in five years among the world's top 50 – also lifted him into the top spot on the current world ratings, backing up his equal third place in the year's first WCT contest in Queensland three weeks ago.
Irons was disappointed to lose but content with the second place cheque for US$16,000, with his quest for a fourth consecutive world professional crown in good shape, his equal fifth placing in Queensland and today's runner-up finish putting him in third place on the latest world rankings.
Australia's Mick Fanning, who won the opening WCT event of the year in Queensland, was beaten by Irons in today's Round of 16, but hangs onto second place in the world rankings.
The 26-year-old Hawaiian's record in the Rip Curl Pro competition over the past five years is outstanding – runner-up today, semi-finalist in 2001 and 2004, and Bell-ringing champion in 2002 and 2003.
Today Irons took out 9th seeded Floridian Damien Hobgood in the quarter finals, before producing a blistering performance in the semis – posting 18.96, the second highest heat score of the event – to knock out his good friend and 14th seed Cory Lopez, also from Florida and the lone goofy-footer (right foot forward) in the final four.
On the opposite side of the draw, Munro produced two of the three best total heat scores of the competition earlier today, posting a sensational 19.00 in beating West Australian 6th seed Taj Burrow in the quarter finals, and a brilliant 18.70 in the Round of 16, ending the run of Queensland WCT rookie Bede Durbridge.
Equal third today went to Byron Bay's Danny Wills, the 16th seed, and Lopez, who each pocketed US$10,000 for their efforts.
Equal fifth place went to Sydney's Richie Lovett, the 23rd seed; 9th seeded Floridian Damien Hobgood; 28th seed Darren O'Rafferty, of Bonny Hills in northers NSW; and West Australian Taj Burrow, the 6th seed.
Incredibly, not a single heat of the 33rd Rip Curl Pro was held at its traditional home base at Bells Beach — a first in the competition's history that organisers are hoping does not happen again for another three decades.
The decision to move to Phillip Island's Woolamai Beach, about 200 kilometres to the east, was forced on organisers earlier this week when the first seven days of the event's 11-day waiting period passed without a heat being run due to poor surf at Bells.
On Monday, officials were faced with a forecast that only promised contestable surf on Phillip Island on Tuesday, Wednesday and today, with marathon days on Tuesday and Wednesday allowing completion of an event that normally takes four full days to run.
The next event on the Foster's World Championship Tour begins in Tahiti in early May.

Democratic candidate for U.S. House Rep. Paula Hawks comes to Aberdeen tonight (6 p.m., senior center!) as part of her East River town hall tour to talk to voters. In the midst of her road trip, Rep. Hawks announces three West River town halls next week:
- Spearfish Town Hall – Monday, July 18th, 6–7 p.m. MDT, Grace Balloch Memorial Library, 625 N. 5th Street.
- Custer Town Hall – Tuesday, July 19th, 6–7 p.m. MDT, Re-Treat Room, 21 N. 4th Street.
- Rapid City Town Hall – Wednesday, July 20th, 6–7 p.m. MDT, Rapid City Public Library, 610 Quincy Street
While Rep. Hawks works on reaching out to voters, Rep. Noem's public schedule remains unknown. Rep. Noem has agreed to appear in a panel discussion with Senators John Thune and Mike Rounds at Dakotafest on August 18, but Dakotafest organizers have indicated no plans to conduct the traditional candidate debates that have taken place at past iterations of the big Mitchell ag show. Noem likely wants to avoid any joint appearance with the far more articulate and informed Hawks, as such a side-by-side comparison would make South Dakotans realize it is time to trade six years of feckless faux-rodeo queenery for a return to competent legislating.

Stone tutorial by rykyWatch
©2014-2017 ryky
thank you so much!
I have been wondering how to do rocks.....thank you!
verry helpful thank you!!
Exactly what I need!
i'm french , i speak english a little but i'll try ! (sorry it'can be strange)
Your tuto is very hepful ! and you draw very well thank you so much!
Your tuto is very hepful ! and you draw very well thank you so much!
Nice tutorial, but i wouldn't use such extreeme colors like pure black to paint, there's too much of it especially on the edges of the stone. The same is for the white highlights.
I agree there, never use pure black or white for shading o_o
Thank you!
How did you know this was exactly what I needed?!
This actually helps, amazingly well.~
Like the best tutorials, it's simple and complex at the same time.
i usually start off with a lighter tone to make the formation of the creases and cracks , then move on to a darker shading and finish with lighting. this is a fine tutorial, however i think you over did it a bit with the lighting
Personally, You've gone way too quickly into the detail babe. must block in light and dark first before detailing.
this can be done by squinting to help condense values into more manageable segments.
start adding detail once the base (important) bits are done like the major shadow and light planes.
look up oil painting block in for an idea of what i mean if you don't already.
you are using photoshops tools to your advantage though so indeed this could be looked at as a different approach/ a digital approach.
you are doing it all on one layer though so I'm feeling you may be trying to learn to paint like a painter.
Uh, well... how do I get to the second step?
Very helpful thank you!
cool shape n texture of definition
Cool tutorial! *O* I´ll add this to my special folder for tutorials x3
Thank you so much for this! I've really been struggling with landscapes and this will certainly help me improve my drawings!
This tutorial ROCKS! <8,D
omigosh your tutorials are so helpful, i would have started at these sorts of things for hours going "I have no idea what I am doing"
I like that boulder.
That's a nice boulder.
amazing !
Looks cool, but it's still extremely hard to follow even such a detailed tutorial for someone who doesn't have much art and drawing skills.
On a side note, could you make a tutorial about how to draw wooden texture? Like, things made of wood (e.g. furniture or walls).
you may have done it all on one layer, I think I would prefer to try it on multiple layers first, then merge them for the last step. still, its nice.
I wish I could do things like this. You make it sound so simple.
simply clever.
Alright! this is a great tutorial now that you explain each step!
great job very helpful
sweet tutorial
Just curious, but what kind of brush did you use, and what was it's default brush size setting(s)?
mmmm looks pretty good
thanks for the tutorial!
You're so skilled, ryky. I would like to see more realistic portraits of you .. Keep up the good work!
very cool ^^ thanks for this
fucking shit like the how to draw an owll not a real tut
He even added descriptions of each steps and people still aren't happy. His tuts have helped me plenty, so maybe they just aren't for you.
calm down !
This will definitely be very helpful. Thank you!
This sure is helpful!
This looks great. For me, rocks are really difficult to draw.
Thanks for this helpful tutorial.
Brilliant~~ *o*
I have been waiting for a tutorial like this forever.......
Oh man, I'm in love with your other tutorials and arts but I'm a bit wary of this particular one :S I really wouldn't use dodge and burn to colour as you never have any control over the colour of the lighting and shadows (as you can see here, it's made the light white... light on an object is never pure white and it looks odd). You're going to need as much control over the colour as you can, so dodge and burn is kind of a big no-no for painting
Also, I think maybe you should have pointed out where the rock interacts with the environment as the shadows just seem to be a darker shade of the midtones (light doesn't work like that). It would alter depending on the weather and time of day, but the shadows would most likely have a blue tint to them (it'll make it pop, trust me ^~^). Although looking at your other works, I reckon you know this because you have a great grasp on colour in your other pieces
But yeah, keep up with your awesome work! I'm a "silent" fan haha.

Many users do not like rooting the phone but a major problem is that most of these users do not understand what rooting is. In this post, we will deal with how rooting can help your phone and how to root your Asus Zenfone with the Root Zenfone APK. Rooting has been around for a long time and although it is potentially risky, if it is done correctly, then your phone will give you performance that you have never expected. It is alright if you do not want to root your phone if it is in warranty, but if the warranty period is over you can very well try rooting on your phone. There are some new phone companies that do not void their warranty if you root your phone like the One Plus. Let us first look into how the rooting can be done on the Zenfone using this Root Zenfone apk and then we'll talk about the advantages of rooting.
How to root Asus Zenfone with the Root Zenfone APK:
- The first thing that you can do is download the Root Zenfone apk from a well-known website so that you are guaranteed of stable and secure software. You can try this link for the direct download option.
- As soon as the APK is downloaded, you first have to switch off your WiFi and you also have to download and install the SuperSU APK.
- As soon as you launch the Root Zenfone apk, you will get an option to root it using any one of the SuperSUs. Choose the one that you have just downloaded. At the bottom of the screen, you will find a button called 'ok I know please root'. Click on that button.
- A small message prompt will appear where it will be written 'you have activated this demo device offline successfully' and below it will be an ok button which you SHOULD NOT click. Simply long press the power button and restart your device.
- As soon as the device restarts, the first thing you will see is a Superuser request and you have to click on 'this time only' and then the allow button. This will begin the rooting process and after some time a success message will appear which means that your phone has been successfully rooted.
- There is also an unroot option inside the Root Zenfone apk if you change your mind at any time.
How can rooting your Asus Zenfone help?
- The biggest way that rooting a phone can help is that you can install customised ROMs. Therefore, if you like the Oxygen operating system of One Plus or the Cyanogen operating system of some other smart phone, you can install it on yours.
- You can remove bloatware that is preinstalled on most Android phones including your Asus Zenfone.
- You can perform a lot of modifications that will remove ads from applications where you are a free user and even install apps that were previously incompatible on your phone.
- Rooting your phone will boost the device speed, memory, as well as, the battery life. You can also change the skin of your Android and get a complete backup of your phone data.
Long story short, your phone will be completely in your control.
