I'm about to step up from R2010b to R2012b. Last time I did this, all my bookmarks to help browser pages went bye-bye. I've been dredging through my C drive in the hope of finding these saved in some XML file, but that seems a monumental task. Does anyone know how to export & re-import these during migration to a new version?
Log in to comment.
There should be a "shortcuts.xml" file in your prefdir, in which Help browser bookmarks are stored.
Prefdir can be found by typing "prefdir" at the MATLAB command prompt.
Thank you. It was interesting to see that the shortcuts.xml in my prefdir gave paths to help pages slightly different than what appeared for a given page after invoking View->Page Location. That would show a typical path as:
docroot '/techdoc/ref/<topic>.html'
except that no such file existed in that directory. The shortcuts.xml file revealed that the real path was
docroot '/techdoc/help.jar!/<topic>.html
The 2010b Help topic "Using the Help Browser" also notes that favorites cannot be migrated between versions of Matlab. I take this as a caveat in case some old bookmarks are broken in a newer version, but it would have been more useful to have included the above procedure along with a caveat like "The following might help you migrate your favorites, but there's no guarantee theyy'll all be functional."
That is true you are going to run into the broken link issue if you import Matlab Favorites.
However, you can work around the issue. On how to work around the issue, please refer to the following line: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/46459-how-to-backup-my-matlab-favorites

After a delay, the bundle known as Batman: Return to Arkham is set to hit shelves on October 21st and it contains remastered versions of the popular Batman: Arkham franchise from the previous generation. While the first look we got at the remastered graphics weren't all that impressive, the newest trailer showed us much improvement.
However, in my opinion, this bundle is already a disappointment due to one thing: Batman: Arkham Origins is not part of it. Yes, that's right, only Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City have been remastered. Here's why this prequel should have been in the bundle.
It Is Canon to the Arkhamverse
Yes, it was made by a different company, so you can make the argument that maybe it is not canon — but the end of Origins not only directly ties into Arkham Asylum, but stories and characters in Batman: Arkham Knight reference or conclude from it as well. For example, Deathstroke in Arkham Knight wants revenge for Batman beating him on Penguin's ship, the Final Offer, which is a reference to Batman and Deathstroke's encounter in Arkham Origins.
- Telltale's Batman: Could it Become the Best Batman Game Yet?
- 5 Upcoming Superhero Video Games That You MUST Own!
- 7 Superheroes Who Deserve A Gritty Game Like The 'Batman: Arkham' Series
You also encounter Firefly in Arkham Knight, one of the eight assassins hired by Black Mask in Arkham Origins to kill Batman — and he even references the events of that game as well. With Arkham Origins clearly being canon, it would only be logical to remaster the game along with the two sequels, thus making the franchise feel complete.
It Had the Best Story
All of the Arkham games have had great stories, but Origins had the best one due to the fact they changed things up: the other three Arkham games tried their hardest to make the stories feature a ridiculous(ly awesome) event that could destroy all of Gotham, whereas Arkham Origins toned everything back a bit and made it more like a traditional Batman story: detective work, less powerful enemies and much more of a psychological element for Batman, considering that he's never come across these types of villains before, hence the Origins title.
It also feels more like a plot you'd see from the comics: "Eight assassins after the Batman and it all takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas." Sure, there is more to the story than that — such as an awesome plot with that Joker (voiced by the great Troy Baker) — that I dare not spoil if you haven't played the game.
Arkham Origins' story is also never boring, whereas with Arkham City there was a good portion towards the middle where I was yawning and checking my watch. And then you had Arkham Knight's story, which was a freaking rollercoaster at times in terms of quality. With Arkham Origins I was enthralled the entire time.
It was also great to see an angry Batman; the other Arkham games featured a much older Batman who had been around, so he never had much reaction to anything, whereas that Batman in Arkham Origins (voiced brilliantly by Roger Craig Smith) is much younger, angrier and rash, thus making his interrogation scenes so much more fun to watch.
It Was Never Hated
While it did receive mixed reviews, there was never much hatred for the game and most of the negative reviews stemmed from the glitches that plagued it at times. All you really had to do was polish the game, remove the bugs, and people would love the remastered version so much more.
I am aware that some critiqued the game for having a very similar combat system to Arkham City, but after closer inspection, I'd say there were enough changes so that it still feels like an Arkham game yet stands on its own. However, if Rocksteady wanted to, maybe they could update the combat for those players.
It Featured Real Detective Work
While it's all nothing but fun to run around beating the crap out of every thug and gangster that you see in Gotham City, let's not forget that Batman is a detective first and foremost — and since this game focuses more on the vigilante side of Batman rather than the superhero he would become, there are quite a few scenes where you are required to investigate crime scenes; you get to see Batman put Sherlock Holmes to shame. (Elementary, my dear Alfred!)
This is a mechanic that was directly ripped and put into Arkham Knight, by the way, thus showing that Rocksteady can get access to the build of Arkham Origins.
It Had the Best Map
One of my biggest problems with Arkham Knight was that the open world we were given was not that interesting; everything looked the same except for the Chinatown portion of the city, and it just felt very small since the developers promised us an "Ultimate Batman Simulator" and only gave us a small part of Gotham City.
Arkham Origins, on the other hand, has a map that is not only beautiful to look at, but is fun to explore with so many easter eggs; the winter setting makes it more appealing for the eyes, and it never feels boring. With Batman limited to just his grapple and the Batwing's predestinations, it understandably wasn't the biggest map, but at least it was a blast to explore, whereas I was bored to death of Arkham Knight's map by the midway point.
Arkham Origin's map also gets credit for redoing the districts from Arkham City in a previous point in time, such as the Bowery and Amusement Mile, making them look lively and adding new areas to explore. The aforementioned Batwing also adds to exploring the map; you can have fun deactivating the jamming signal, which the character Enigma has set up across the city, thus unlocking the predestined waypoints where you can travel fast with the Batwing, a mechanic that Arkham Knight definitely should have brought over.
It Had the BEST. BOSSES. EVAH!
Okay, maybe not the best bosses in video game history, but surely the best ones in the Arkhamverse considering the other games have had nearly all terrible boss fights; the only good ones were the tactical Mr. Freeze fight from Arkham City, the scary encounter with Killer Croc in the sewers of Arkham Asylum and the Scarecrow fights in this realm of fear from Arkham Asylum.
Arkham Origins, however, has a plot that's all about these eight assassins, plus a few more villains, so there are many great boss fights: Firefly on the bridge, the multiple Bane encounters, Copperhead, Deadshot, Mad Hatter and of course the biggest highlight being the Batman vs. Deathstroke battle on the Final Offer, which is nothing but amazing. Honestly, I can recommend this game on the boss fights alone.
Origins should have been remastered and included in the Return to Arkham bundle. Without it, the bundle feels incomplete — and even if it meant ANOTHER delay in the bundle, it would be worth it to play an even better version of Arkham Origins.
Batman: Return to Arkham hits shelves October 21st, 2016.

Pregnant with 3rd child, but in the middle of a divorce

Although not going through a divorce, I got pregnant with my first after dating someone only a few months. He also had 3 kids (aged 4, 8 and 9) from a previous marriage who I had spent very little time with when we first found out were pregnant. My family had not even heard of him.
I introduced him to my mom one time before she heard we were pregnant, and I started seeing his kids more often. We waited until I was over 20 weeks to tell the boys - I think I was 24 or so. They took it great and now spoil her rotten.
It definitely makes things harder that you are going through a divorce, but you will get through it
. Just keep taking things one day at a time.

Used to be awesome until Ziggy died and new management took over. Same name but culture and location changed, now it's more jazz like a suburban bar and grill with corn-hole on the patio. C-
Bullfeathers is decent restaurant. To find restaurant menus and reviews for Fuquay Varina restaurants go to http:www.fuquayvarinanc.org
$1.50 admission, need I say more? The place is a bit grungy, but, did I mention it's $1.50 per ticket, all the time? Tuesdays have $1 special on 46 oz. popcorn and 16 oz drink....
While the menu is great and the food is quite good (once it finally gets to your table), the super-slow service comes with a lot of attitude and is consistently poor. I've tried eating here on several occasions and varying times and always walked away annoyed. One morning it took a full ten minutes to get a cup of coffee--to go.

Billy Preston played the organ on the song "Let It Be" and the Fender Rhodes electric piano on "Get Back" and "Don't Let Me Down" during the recording of the Let It Be album and film (earlier called Get Back). George Harrison brought Preston in to temporarily ease some of the tension in the studio during the tumultuous sessions. Also, the Beatles intended to record the tracks "live", with no overdubbing, so it helped to have a fifth musician playing keyboards. At one point during the sessions, John Lennon suggested that Billy could join the band as the "Fifth Beatle", but Paul McCartney nixed the idea saying that it was bad enough with four.
The "Get Back"/"Don't Let Me Down" single was credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston". This was the only time an outsider was given this type of credit on an official Beatles-sanctioned release. Tony Sheridan had shared credit on some Hamburg-era recordings, but these were unsanctioned reissues on which the Beatles were primarily the backing group.
Preston also played Hammond organ on the tracks "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Something" that appeared on the Abbey Road album.
The Beatles first met Billy Preston in 1962 when he was part of Little Richard's touring band. Manager Brian Epstein had organized a Liverpool show in which the Beatles opened for.
"We Love You Beatles" was the only Beatles novelty record to reach the Top 40. It was released in 1964 by The Carefrees, a British group made up of session vocalists Lynn Cornell, Betty Prescott and Barbara Kay. This musical tribute to The Beatles was their only charted single, where it peaked at #39 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song was based on "We Love You Conrad" from the musical Bye Bye Birdie. Each Beatle is named separately in individual verses. Sprinkled in the song are bits mymicing the Beatles themselves, such as some "woos" and "yeah, yeah, yeahs" similar to "She Loves You".
Curiously, vocalist Cornell was married to Andy White, best known for playing drums on The Beatles' first single, "Love Me Do".
Click the Play button (arrow) to hear the song:
The Ramones song "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?" mentions John Lennon in the line "Will you remember Jerry Lee, John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty?." Also mentioned in the lyrics are Ed Sullivan, Murray the K, and Alan Freed.
The song came out during the last year of John Lennon's lifetime. It was recorded in 1979, and released on the Ramones' End of the Century album on February 4, 1980. Like a few of Lennon's albums, End of the Century was produced by Phil Spector.
With the lyrics; "We need change and we need it fast, before rock's just part of the past, 'cause lately it all sounds the same to me", the song claims that rock and roll needs change if it's to survive.
Ringo Starr was the drummer for Rory Storm and The Hurricanes before joining The Beatles in August 1962. Starr's first concert with The Hurricanes was in March 1959. It was during his tenure with the band that he changed his name to Ringo. Up until then he had been known as Ritchie. With the Hurricanes, Ringo had a solo spot called "Starr-time" and he was the vocalist on songs such as "Boys" by The Shirelles.
In October 1960, while Rory Storm and The Hurricanes were performing in Hamburg, Ringo met The Beatles who were playing there also. Promoter Allan Williams had arranged a recording session for Lu Walters (of The Hurricanes) for October 18, 1960, at the Akoustik Studio. He had asked John, Paul, and George from The Beatles to play and sing harmonies on the session. Beatles drummer Pete Best wasn't available, so Ringo was asked to fill in. This was the first time that the future famous line-up of The Beatles played and recorded together.
Back in the UK, Starr sat in for Best as The Beatles' drummer on several occasions. The first time he played with them live on stage was February 5, 1962, when Best fell ill and The Beatles had two performances scheduled for that date. Ringo would permanently replace Pete when he was fired from The Beatles on August 16, 1962.
During their existence, The Hurricanes were one of the most popular music acts on the Liverpool and Hamburg club scenes, but their attempt at a recording career never took off.

The North West Energy Task Force has welcomed the call from the House of Lords for the UK to "get development moving" on shale gas extraction.
Preston's Lee Petts, spokesman for the North West Energy Task Force, gave evidence at the enquiry which the report is based on. He said: "After speaking to over 300 businesses at the NW Shale Supply Chain conference last month, it is clear to me how important onshore gas will be for creating jobs, boosting economic growth and raising revenues in Lancashire.
"The Lords Committee has rightly recognised the need for more communication on the potential for shale, which is why the North West Energy Task Force is committed to continuing to work with North West businesses, to help the region get ready for shale, in investment, skills and expertise."
The report by the House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs, released on Thursday recognises the potential for shale gas and its role in boosting growth, improving energy security and creating a bridge fuel toward renewables.
The report has highlighted that "the development of shale gas and oil in the UK would generate direct employment, particularly in the North of England." And calls for greater communication of the "economic and employment gains shale development can bring to areas like Lancashire."
Supported by more than 300 businesses and national experts, the Task Force was launched in January this year to increase understanding of how the extraction of natural gas from Lancashire's shale can be used to create jobs, generate economic growth and boost localrevenues.
The group recently held the UK's first ever shale gas supply chain conference in Blackpool.

Optimal Control and Equilibrium Behavior of Production-Inventory Systems
The relationship between commodity inventory and short-term price variations has received considerable attention, but the understanding has been limited to single-stage cross-sectional relation. In this paper, we aim to deepen our understanding of the inventory-price relationship in two dimensions: across time and across production stages. We first examine an individual firm controlling production and two stages of inventory under uncertain input and output prices and operating costs. We next establish and characterize the rational expectations equilibrium for an economy in which competitive production firms link a raw material market and a finished goods market, with uncertain and price-sensitive supply and demand. We characterize the dynamics of inventory, market price, and gross margin based on theoretical analysis, simulation, and empirical evidence from the petroleum industry. We find that inventory fluctuations lag behind price variations, and the length of the lags depend on how far the inventory is from the source of the supply or demand shocks. We also find that shocks are both dampened and delayed when propagating through the production stages, and that shocks have a prolonged effect on inventories and prices at both stages.

Merry Christmas! This was our Christmas card photo. No updates on how we're doing. Just simple. I need to choose more simple in my life.
Our christmas tree shopping was simple too. Four kids, five minutes and a picture later we were done. It was also really, really fun, so just goes to show.
This blog is called "My Life In Food". I chose this name because while I always include a recipe (the food part) it's also about my life. Sometimes I wrote mostly about the food. Other times, it's mostly about my family. This is my personal scrapbook of sorts. I write for me and it doesn't always make the most sense and its not always eloquent. It's alright. I have enough self awareness to know I'm not going huge with my blog. At least, I don't think I am. It's not the goal, anyway, even though I love sharing with every single one of you who reads. Since this is my personal scrapbook, I end up talking about myself a lot. This is one of those days, BUT I want to share it all with you. Keep reading.
I am an inspiration hunter. However, I don't start the day with the thought "I'm going to hunt for inspiration today". I just search for things that catch my interest, challenge me in good ways, make me think, or make me happy. I read a lot of articles. I shop and add things I love to my cart. I find gift ideas for other people. I hear a great song. Somebody's else's words will move me. A colorful magazine cover will draw me in. I collect it all and it's like fuel to my soul. I don't mind saying I love beautiful things, interesting things, smart marketing, good packaging. I appreciate the whole of things. I become intrigued with things or ideas, then inspiration just naturally follows. This is something that happens to me most everyday. These are some of the things I've found particularly interesting, thought provoking and life giving lately. I wish I had cool fonts and colors in which to present these to you...to do the very things I've been talking about, to draw you in, catch your interest, stop and make you say hmmmm. But I'm not tech savvy and I don't have the slightest idea how to deliver this info in pretty packaging on a blog as much as I'd LOVE to. Seriously, if I could, I'd spend hours designing something with style for you. But for now, I'll lay it out simply without flair. The quality content is still there.
-If you need a bit of motivation to JUMP and get started, whether it's achieving your goals, dreaming bigger, starting over, or not waiting around for your life to begin, read these two articles:
JUMP - By Glennon Doyle Melton
Why I'm leaving radio forever- By Matt Walsh
I select these because they're not written in the "five steps" fashion. Rather, they are stories/thought/ideas/concepts which inspire you to take what you want from them, whether it's a little nugget of wisdom or the whole dang message and run with it. I adore writers who inspire me to think for myself and give me the tools to do so without telling me what to do. This is especially helpful if you tend to understand things intuitively like I do.
-If your heart hurts this Christmas, read this:
What to do with a hurting heart this Christmas- By Ann Voskamp
I am sad- By Glennon Doyle Melton
Ann is pretty unique and artsy with her writing. Some find her hard to read while others didn't understand anything until she said it. Glennon is real, raw and honest. She also leaves you feeling better about humanity and life after you leave her site.
-If you have been trying hard this Christmas season to be peaceful and focused on the reason for the season, but find yourself still stressed and maxed. When your expectations for the holiday don't measure up to your ideal...read this:
Cobbled Together Christmas- by Addie Zierman
Really, this can be applied at any time of the year.
-If you want to understand God's love. Like actually GET IT. Or if you are having trouble with relationships. If you want your eyes opened, read this and then read it again and again to everyone you know.
Little Drummer Girl- by Glennon Doyle Melton
You may have noticed I seem to be a bit infatuated with Glennon. Its true, she's my penultimate right now and I can't even pretend to not favor her. She speaks to me like no one else has. She reaches the inner parts of me and I'm changed. I don't one hundred percent agree with the whole of her theology sometimes, but for the most part? She does an excellent job of pointing back to Jesus and spreading light and hope and love wherever she goes. Truth be told, I think its a dose of what everyone in the world really needs. This is my most favorite piece I've read all year. ALL DAMN YEAR.
-If you want something awesome and simple to cook: Rotisserie Style Chicken
This tastes just like what you get at the store and only requires a regular oven, no rotisserie necessary. The method is awesome. Try it, you'll like it.
Rotisserie Style Chicken
adapted from My Fathers Daughter by Gwyneth Paltrow
serves 4
- Heat oven to 400°. Mix butter, garlic salt, paprika, pepper and salt in a bowl. Rinse chicken inside and out; pat dry. Insert fingers between skin and breast to separate the two. Rub seasoned butter over chicken and under skin. Tuck wings underneath bird and tie together with a piece of twine. Tie legs together with another piece of twine. Place chicken on its side in a heavy roasting pan and roast 25 minutes. Turn onto its other side and sprinkle with several tbsp water; roast 25 minutes more. Turn chicken on its back; roast 10 minutes more. Turn on its breast; roast until skin is crispy and chicken is golden brown, 10 minutes more. Remove from pan and let rest, breast side down, 15 minutes, before carving.

Build Guide by ragon

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Teemo 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.
item build explained below
Ok this is my first build so I hope you like :
This build ive found to be good on any dps champion
im not going to promise you uber rape if you use my build but ive found this to be very good
the first thing you do with any dps champion is to start out with 9health potions and 4 manamana potians
now some of you are probably going "WTF NOT BOOTS? NOOOOOB!" but let me assure you that if you play smart you will not need to have boots for a while. also the 9 health and 4 mana potians allow you to stay out in the lane much longer then anyone else and be able to out farm the others in your lane.
of course if your champion dosent need mana then just buy health potians till you are out of money and then go to your lane
pretty self explanitory just farm untill you are out of potion (if you run out of health potion before mid game you should uninstall the game) or untill you have a **** ton of money. when you go back first if you have the money for it buy a bf swordif you dont then buy zerker grives
now here is where the choices come in
next go for w/e you want as your second item is compleatly optional tho here are some sugestions
go for starks ferveror if you want ability power go for stingerand later on turn it into nashors tooth
again these are just reconmendations you can go for w/e you want for your second item
for your third item get maladyor last wisper
for your forth get sword of the divineor wits end
you should have all this by the middle of mid-game about 28-37 minutes in if you dont then start foresting and farming lanes like crazy
notice above i have alot of DoT items or damage over time these are good becuase alot of times my experience has been that enamys will look at my attack damage (didnt get any attack damage items yet unless you got last wisper) and think im an easy kill and over extend trying to kill me wile with the attack speed causes the DoT items to proc faster and eat away at there health massively
so now if you are playing right and playing smart you will be able to hold your own in almost any 1v1 fight.
and about your attack damage... lets turn this game into a rape fest
for your last 2 items you have choices
infinity edgeblood thirsterand black cleaver
these are the finishing touch on your build and there passives (exept infinity edge)
are not unique meaning if you get 2 of them they will stack passives
go for wich ones you want. go for 2 of the same or a combination of them
heres how each will affect your build and the situations you should get each in
if the enamy team has 1 to 0 tanks on it go for 2 of these. the crit chance and attack damage will make your attacks hit hard as hell and cause enamys to run at the sight of you unless theres more then 1/2 of them. but i almost never get these
this improves your survivability alot because of the life steal and it has good damage. the life steal and damage increase with each kill and when maxed out it totals to an aditional 40 attack damage and 10% life steal. so total of a maxed out blood thirst is 100 damage and 35% life steal. i usualy go for 2 blood thirsters as my last 2 items because 2 maxed out is +200damage and +70% lifesteal meaning each attack you heal and do alot of damage.
the only downside is that if you die you loose all bonuses. SO DONT DIE
black cleaver is a tanks worst enemy. if the enamy team has alot of tanks then get 2 of these. the armor reduction stacks mean your attacks will shred them even if they stack armor. these i rarely get because when i get the blood thirsters maxed out i can out-tank the tank in a 1v1 fight.
again this was my first build guide. it is not a build and how to play guide because you have to find your own play style.
hope you like it and please comment as any improvements or suggestions will be apriciated :D

Lily's hair is shrinking.
Or her head is just getting bigger. lol her hair covered a lot more at birth than it does now! Her scalp is literally outgrowing the hair there.
Re: Lily's hair is shrinking.
lol, maybe it's falling out? Or could be that her head is growing faster than her hair!
Re: Lily's hair is shrinking.
It's just her head growing. =) You can only tell the difference around her hair line, mostly at the temples. It looks like her head is too big for her patch of hair. lol I can't wait for things to catch up. She's lost her skinny lizard thighs, but no chubby cheeks yet. Waiting for 3 months. They get pretty then.
Re: Lily's hair is shrinking.
Lol, they do get pretty around 3 months. My Lily is just now starting to chunk up a little too. Her hair is actually growing in a little instead of being a huge bald ring on top, but its still super short up there compared to the sides and back.

The Moon has Waned …
… but the indoor critters seem to have stepped up their" full moon activities," or maybe they are having pre-mature cabin fever.
When I am really busy, getting caught up in the house and going from room to room, Josie, the little doggie, follows me …from room to room.
Callie, whose greatest enjoyment in life seems to be acting as an impediment in Josie's progress, follows us and lies down across the doorways so Josie can't get past. Josie barks until we tell Callie to move.

Boost Your Indoor Space: Add Houseplants
The following is a guest blog post from Justin Hancock.
Looking for an easy way to make your life better? Grow houseplants! Seriously: Having houseplants can improve your quality of life. There's a wealth of scientific studies out there showing just how good houseplants are for us on a fundamental level.
For example, a study from the University of Michigan found that having a plant in your home office can make you more productive. Turns out having plants in our indoor spaces improves concentration and memory.
Other research shows plants help us relax, making them perfect picks for bedrooms. And when you add in the fact that plants filter indoor air pollution (like dangerous VOCs found in paint, carpet, cabinets, etc.), it seems like an even better idea to keep a houseplant or two nearby.
If you've never had a houseplant, now's the perfect time to get one. It's National Indoor Plant Week, a time to celebrate the benefits of having plants around us indoors.
So what are some of the best houseplants? Three of the most stylish, easy-care varieties are: snake plant, zeezee plant, and ponytail palm.
About Justin Hancock: A hardcore gardener and professional horticulturist (and former Better Homes and Gardens staffer), Justin lives in Miami and works for Costa Farms, the country's largest grower of houseplants. He surrounds himself with plants at home and in the office, making him a happy, well-adjusted person. His garden writing has appeared on websites, print, television, and video.

Coral vines are gorgeous, considered noxious weeds in south Florida because they climb telephone poles to the top and continue on, covering all with this very rich pink blanket of blooms. Give them a wire fence, and the fence disappears.
I miss them.
Mother-in-law tongues. Air plants. I miss them.
Growing ginger root in pots … what a great-looking bamboo display. Miss them. What you buy in stores here is already moldy and has been irradiated.
As the owner of an elk and deer sanctuary in the Rocky Mountain wilderness, thinking of all your plants makes me smile.

My font, Sidhe, was used in this DVD's logo. Elements from NASA's image gallery were dramaticly modified to make this image. I also purchased and modified an image of the UFO. I'm very pleased with the colors and lighting effects on this piece.
This DVD cover has a number of elements that interact with each other. For the logo, I used a font I designed (Sidhe) which incorporates a circle on each letter. The circle is repeated below in a geometric shape similar to a crop circle. Capturing all this at the bottom is a satillite dish in a wheat field.

What came off? Good account or bad account? Do you have limited information on your credit? If so, the removal of bad accounts can cause score decreases with Vantage scores as it seems to happen to many. Regardless of how Vantage reacts to removing negative info, removing negative info is a huge plus. If you have developed FICO scores you should check them somewhere.

I didn't tell anyone for years. It was my embarrassing secret.
No one wants to tell anyone about their gross digestion and bathroom issues, especially when you're a girl (because, girls don't have bowel movements) and a 17-year-old one at that.
I just quietly started taking Metamusil everyday and keeping quite about the excruciatingly painful 30-minute bathroom visits, convincing myself it wasn't a big deal and pretty normal.
I'm talking about the chronic and severe constipation I suffered with for years, silently.
After one or two years of this, I started getting sharp pains in my abdomen area – only then did I go to the doctor (and was sent on a wild goose chase of a battery of tests where they were looking for endometriosis), and I didn't really connect the two – constipation and the pains.

Truckers hope training requirements will move forward
Sep 20, 2013, 15:24 ET from Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo., Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The nation's largest organization representing professional truckers, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, hopes that the agency that oversees motor carrier safety regulations will move quickly in implementing minimum training standards for new CDL holders since announcing plans to begin a new proposal process.
Currently, there are no training requirements for truck drivers.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently withdrew its rulemaking notice, originally published in 2007, because of issues raised at FMCSA listening sessions earlier this year and new directives contained in MAP-21, the current highway funding law, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act.
"Since the agency's past approach to driver training has been untargeted and low on the priority list, we hope that this is an opportunity for them to follow the path our professional and experienced members have suggested," said OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer.
While the Association sees the withdrawal as a step back in the effort to enact mandatory entry-level driver training, OOIDA also sees an opportunity in advancing its Truckers for Safety agenda, which includes an in-depth driver training proposal for long-haul truckers.
"Many of the issues the agency raises in this withdrawal notice are clearly lined out in our Truckers for Safety agenda," Spencer said. "With commonsense measures like ensuring that new drivers are trained by experienced trainers, our proposal should serve as a good starting point for FMCSA. Experienced and safe truckers made it quite clear to FMCSA during the listening session last spring: Entry-level driver training should be a top safety priority of the agency."
The Truckers for Safety program will be highlighted at the Association's 40th Anniversary celebration, the Heart of America Trucking Show, Oct. 18-19, 2013, at the Kansas Speedway.
OOIDA is the largest national trade association representing the interests of small-business truckers and professional truck drivers. The Association currently has more than 150,000 members nationwide. OOIDA was established in 1973 and is headquartered in the Greater Kansas City, Mo., area.

STOCKERN, Austria, and MONTREAL — PartnerCash has expanded its services by integrating ePayService as an additional payout tool.
PartnerCash's new offering allows affiliates to receive users ePayService payouts immediately after payout options are chosen and once identification is uploaded and verified.

As part of the international push, PartnerCash also is translating sites from its substantial portfolio into English.
The company markets its flagship product, Saboom.com, and an extensive German portfolio of sites.
Besides the new ePayService payout service, PartnerCash also offers PayPal, Moneybookers and bank wires as payout options for worldwide affiliates.
ePayService President Alex Zaslavsky said that the deal between the companies will help grow both their customer bases.
"Since we launched ePayService we have securely delivered millions of payroll, affiliates and publisher payments worldwide," Zaslavsky said. "ePayService will continue enabling PartnerCash with new innovative payouts options for years to come.
"We hope and wish that PartnerCash continue developing innovative and successful products like Saboom.com "

When we see The Jurassic World motion picture, it has an intriguing and generally reasonable reason (similarly as dinosaur dream goes, at any rate Genetically built dinosaurs, having been in imprisonment and in plain view for quite a while before the film's starting, have lost their exceptionally critical component.
In the diversion, you're running the Jurassic World game park. You need to bring forth new dinosaurs and construct things to pull in more guests to the recreation center and profit, much the same as Roller Coaster Tycoon, yet with dinosaurs. That is stand out side of the diversion, nonetheless. You likewise need to fight your dinosaurs to open new ones and gain more cash and sustenance. What's more, to ensure you win your fights, you have to bolster your dinosaurs and develop them to make them more grounded. It is those fight scenes that help us to remember clash of battleships cheat.
Much has been streamlined this time around. Regardless you need to incubate dinosaurs and clean up the congested segments of Isla Nublar, however you won't likewise need to invest energy and assets expelling rocks and different flotsam and jetsam after you've officially cleared a range. You likewise don't need to stress over juggling two separate sorts of nourishment for your critters – this time there is only one sustenance source that spreads both herbivores and carnivores (this is significantly more amazing than it sounds).
Now I'd composed a ton of stuff about how Jurassic World is not Park Builder, but rather that is a misuse of words. Both diversions are to be sure comparative, and they're additionally genuinely distinctive. Will bring forth dinosaurs, building visitor structures, expanding the recreation center's impression, and gradually procuring more cash to spend on a greater amount of everything with a specific end goal to acquire more cash regardless of which diversion you pick. The greatest distinction that will wind up partitioning fans will be the Arena.
So the Park's researchers (a species with a past filled with terrible choices) do somewhat more hereditary squeezing and make Indominous Rex, a genuine beast of a dinosaur. I-Rex does what is regular to beasts: She escapes and causes pandemonium. The reason for Jurassic World is not precisely logically solid, but rather in any event it has all the earmarks of being enjoyable. By differentiation, Jurassic World: The Game joins fair stop working with average dino-doing combating. It is able and by gosh it (generally) looks heavenly, yet there is not a considerable measure here that separates the diversion from standard park-manufacturers.
As may be normal, you develop your new stop from nothing. With diligent work, steadiness, and a considerable measure of dino pit-battling, you ought to ideally have a fascination that'll keep those dang kids off their advanced mobile phones for ten seconds. The recreation center building part of Jurassic World: The Game doesn't offer anything super-new or energizing. Dinosaur shows acquire cash after some time, as do supplemental structures like nourishment stands and security workplaces. It is basically Jurassic Park Builder part II, aside from the parks you make in that three-year-old games appear significantly more vivid and happy than the washed-out dark carnival you make in Jurassic World.
That might be on account of the majority of Jurassic World: The Game's assets went into the dinosaur models, which as a matter of fact look and move like the genuine article (or our best figure thereof). The monsters step, thunder, fan their wings, and scarf down whatever suppers you give. When you develop your layered buddies for better fight coliseum execution, they tackle brighter tints and intriguing markings. By the way, be cautioned: This games won't chip away at anything lower than an iPhone 5S, iPad Air, or iPad Mini 3.
The fight stadium is Jurassic World's most fascinating element. Battling dinosaurs square off in the enclosure and assault each other by means of a point-based framework. Focuses can charge assaults or expand barrier, and turns can be skipped keeping in mind the end goal to develop more focuses for your next turn. It is not precisely Dino Street Fighter, but rather it is sufficiently captivating.
The more grounded a dinosaur is, the harder it hits. Regular quality means a considerable measure, so you most likely would prefer not to set a camposaurus against a diplodocus. Additionally, you can battle against different players, however since it appears to be more irregular than level-based, you can hope to get creamed in any event once.
There's nothing excessively hostile about Jurassic World: The Game (with the exception of its equipment necessities), yet beside its liquid dinosaur models, there is nothing exceptionally energizing about it, either. Possibly it would've fared better as a recreation center manufacturer or a dinosaur-themed battling amusement rather than a blend of the two. It says something that your brain meanders while playing. You begin considering your email, your feline, and what you need for supper. Abruptly, it is anything but difficult to sympathize with the youthful park-goers that would preferably message their companions than watch the T-rex eat up a goat.
This Jurassic World tells about dino vs dino battle. Battles move along decently fast and utilize a straightforward arrangement of activity focuses every turn. The trap is to attempt and get inside your adversary's head that make an utilization of every creatures' Class Advantage. They likewise look pretty and are vivified, exceptionally well. The drawback to this is, as of this composition, it implies that Jurassic World doesn't bolster anything more seasoned than an iPhone 5s or iPad 3.
I am not by any means a fanatic of the way Jurassic World: The Game handles card packs, and it appears like it needs to take a shot at player coordinating in the Challenge Arena (PvP), however I need to let it be known is been a lovely shock. I went in expecting something recognizable, however it ended up being diverse in (for the most part) all the correct ways. The design are not all that awful, so you get a better than average take a gander at the dinosaurs. I am somewhat of a dino-fan thus far things have been more exact than the Jurassic Park motion pictures (sorry to learn the enchantment, however the things they call velociraptors in the first film are more similar to utahraptors).
Potentially in light of those representation, this is the main games that I have played it on my gadget and honestly that made it get truly hot. It is likewise been a major channel on battery, so presumably is not the best stimulation for long prepare ventures without a charger. I have observed Jurassic World: The diversion to be truly addictive, and you can rapidly lose a hour in it. There's a consistent stream of missions coming in that you feel constrained to finish, and viewing your dinosaurs eat and develop is entirely engrossing.
To keep your park and dinosaurs developing, Jurassic World: The games has a couple of various characters giving you missions. There's a representative whose objective is to profit, the head of security, who makes them fight your dinosaurs, and different understudies, researchers and columnists who need you to do different things. Dealing with your park is entirely straight forward, tapping on various structures and hitting Upgrade, or tapping available to purchase new dinosaurs and attractions. The truly energizing part is, obviously, working with your dinosaurs.
You must get nourishment for your dinosaurs, either by finishing missions or from your sustenance generation focus, so you can build the levels on your dinosaurs. Once you have two of the same dinosaur at their greatest level, you can advance them to make a much all the more effective variant. At that point the time has come to fight.
In fights you have a decision of three moves. You can either assault your rival, shield or set aside your turn to use in the following turn. Working out your strategies on when to assault, shield or spare moves to get a reward is pivotal to winning a fight – the best guard is not, so much, an extraordinary offense.

The Kansas City Chiefs had one of the best defenses in the NFL last season, and Justin Houston was a big piece of that. According to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, the Chiefs are currently in discussions about a potential long-term extension with their star linebacker. He is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL right now, and despite missing five games, ended up with 11.0 sacks on the season. Locking him up long-term right now certainly would be a smart move.
Amid all the contract extensions going on, don't forget about Justin Houston. The Chiefs certainly haven't. Talks got rolling at combine
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) March 1, 2014
Houston suffered through some injury issues last season with the Chiefs, playing in 11 games total during the regular season. Despite missing five games, he was able to rack up 44 tackles and a forced fumble to go along with the 11.0 sacks that were mentioned earlier. At 25 years of age, Houston still has a lot of good football left and is going to be a leader of the Chiefs' defense next season.
According to Pro Football Focus, Houston was the best outside linebacker this past season, and will likely command a huge contract. It will certainly be interesting to see what kind of money the Chiefs have to give up in order to keep him in Kansas City long-term. His new deal is expected to make him the highest paid outside linebacker in the NFL, and currently Lamar Woodley holds that title with a deal worth an average of $10.25 million yearly.
Overall, the Chiefs would be making a mistake not locking Houston up long-term. They cannot afford to lose a player of his caliber, especially being in the same division as Peyton Manning. Despite Manning's age, the Chiefs are going to have to find a way to put pressure on him if they want to have a chance to win the AFC West in the next year or two. Expect these talks to heat up over the next few days, and keep an ear open for a potential deal.

Wow, that's a mouthful. And it's not ironic, either, because when I finished this ice-cream I wanted to shove my face into the bowl before it was frozen. And then once it was frozen, I couldn't stop eating it. The base is so easily adaptable that I've made it twice with two drastically different flavors, but this ice cream was certainly to die for.
Claire gave me a cookie recipe that we are all now obsessed with, Martha Stewart's Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies. These make a regular appearance in our home. Jonathan recently asked me if I could try to incorporate these cookies into a pareve ice-cream dessert modeled after one of our favorite dairy ice-creams, Trader Joe's Lemon and Triple Gingersnap Ice Cream. I love a challenge in the kitchen, so I decided I would slightly alter Martha's cookies to fit the recipe, and to use my new-found love, coconut cream whipped cream in the recipe.
I apologize for the lack of pictures — my desire for face-planting into the bowl of ice cream somehow overtook my desire to take pictures, but this is not the last time this dessert is going to make an appearance at our Shabbos table, and once I make it again (ahem, next week…) I will take plenty of pictures to update this entry with.
Chewy Triple Gingerbread and Lemon Cookies
(adapted from Martha Stewart)
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup margarine or oil
3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger – I used Dorot frozen ginger cubes, but you can grate away if your heart desires
1 tablespoon lemon zest (about the zest of one large lemon)
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses (again, I used date honey)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons boiling water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Line baking sheets with parchment.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat margarine or oil and grated ginger and lemon zest until emulsified, about four minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses or date honey; beat until combined.
- In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Beat half of flour into butter mixture. Beat in baking-soda mixture, then remaining half of flour mixture. Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pat dough out to about 1 inch thick; seal with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or more.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll dough into 2-inch balls; place 3 inches apart on baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until the surfaces crack slightly, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pareve Ginger Lemon Gingersnap Ice Cream
(adapted from Mishpacha)
serves about 8-10. Next time, I'd double (or triple) the recipe
2 egg whites
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups pareve whipping cream (I used my pareve coconut cream – one can)
3 tablespoons grated ginger (Again, I used Dorot Ginger cubes but you can grate away!)
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
Juice of 1-2 lemons (to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 triple ginger shortbread cookies, chopped into chunks
- Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Combine honey, sugar, water and grated ginger in a small but heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear. Raise heat and bring syrup to a boil. Boil without stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Slowly and carefully beat the hot syrup into the egg whites, pouring in a thin stream. This is helpful with another set of hands. Get your husband, best friend, or kids to help by holding the beaters while you pour in the hot liquid. If you have a stand-mixer, go at it alone! Continue beating until you have stiff peaks and the meringue has cooled, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and beat until incorporated. Meringue will soften a bit, but it's okay.
- In a separate bowl, beat the pareve whipping cream (or coconut cream) with the vanilla extract and lemon zest until it reaches the consistency of sour cream. Fold the cream and cookie pieces into the meringue. Place in a freezer-proof container and then cover and freeze overnight.
- Serve with leftover cookies or carrot cake or other ginger-themed dessert. Make sure you have enough for seconds and thirds – this ice-cream goes quickly!

Aggression - which can include verbal or physical violence - often emerges without warning, experts said, and is one of the most troublesome behavioral changes. It can sometimes be triggered by the agitation and frustration that often accompanies dementia. Such behavior can also be caused by a change in surroundings, experts said, or having too much or too little stimulation or talking.
Experts advise that caregivers address aggression by first maintaining a safe environment, removing dangerous objects, providing space to the person who is upset and speaking to them in a soothing voice. Next they should try to figure out the cause of the behavior and make attempts to address it, whether it be altering the environment or focusing on a new activity that does not upset the person.
Sometimes the aggression can be caused by a physical discomfort that the person with Alzheimer's is unable to verbalize. Because of this, caregivers need to consult a doctor and look for underlying medical causes, experts said. Barbara Vogel, program coordinator for the Neuwirth Memory Disorders Center at Zucker Hillside Hospital at North Shore LIJ, said doctors first try to figure out if there's an infectious process going on in the body that the patient can't communicate so "like small children who get sick and uncomfortable, they act out."
In cases where the person is violently aggressive, patients are often brought in to a psychiatric hospital and the behavior is addressed with medication. This is often a difficult time for family members, Vogel said. When they see the reaction to the medication - which, among other side effects, can make a person lethargic or result in the loss of other functions - many feel their loved one is being overmedicated, she said.
"Unfortunately we don't have a perfect answer and we choose between the lesser of the evils," Vogel said. "If they are aggressive, acting out, a danger to themselves, a danger to their caregivers, a danger to their families, we have to do something."
Vogel said family members can feel as though the medication is a punishment, but in truth, it allows caregivers to be safe and the situation at home to be manageable once again.
Most importantly, experts said, caregivers must remember that behavior changes such as aggression are not deliberate. Those who have Alzheimer's or other dementias frequently must deal with failure, they said, so caregivers should respond in a way that preserves the person's dignity.

Tricky Votes Loom For 3 Candidates
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
With Congress returning today after a two-week break, leaders from both parties are preparing legislative agendas -- on issues including the economy, Iraq and immigration -- designed to present the three remaining White House candidates with dangerous political choices.
The obstacle course begins immediately, with a Democratic-sponsored Senate vote today on legislation to ease the mortgage crisis. Next week, Iraq will dominate, when Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker testify before two committees on which Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) serve.
By the week of April 21, sweeping housing legislation could reach the House floor. By the end of the month, an Iraq war funding bill could be moving, with a second economic stimulus package attached.
Republicans will counterpunch by pushing for a vote on tough immigration legislation, and by pressuring Democrats to cave in to their demands for legislation on surveillance of terrorism suspects that offers retroactive legal immunity to telephone companies that cooperated with the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping efforts. It is clear that Capitol Hill will be a battleground for one of the longest presidential campaigns in the nation's history.
"A lot of what we're thinking about is, A, what you've got to do to do the right thing, and, B, where the president is and where John McCain is," said House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.).
There's nothing new about using the congressional agenda as a staging ground for presidential campaign themes. In July 2004, just weeks before Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) accepted his party's nomination, Republicans forced a vote on an amendment to the Constitution that would have banned same-sex marriage. That proposal was part of close coordination between Senate GOP leaders and President Bush's campaign team.
Democrats say they hope to highlight some of McCain's less-popular positions by forcing him to vote on certain issues or take stands on the legislation from the trail, as Kerry was in 2004.
A test vote comes today when the Senate moves to take up legislation that would grant bankruptcy judges more authority to modify mortgages, provide $200 million for mortgage counseling, authorize state housing agencies to float revenue bonds for the purchase of homes in foreclosure and allow homebuilders to write off more losses from their taxes.
The bill fell to a Republican filibuster before Congress's spring recess, but after the Federal Reserve Board stepped in to rescue the investment firm Bear Stearns, Democratic leaders decided to try again.
They concede the measure is unlikely to garner the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican concerns that it cavalierly wades into the delicate subject of bankruptcy law. But to Democratic campaign strategists, the details of the bill are less important than making sure its intent can be boiled down to "help for struggling homeowners."
"The federal government has provided assistance to Wall Street. Now Congress must turn its attention to Main Street," Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said yesterday.
Iraq is a more complicated political issue. When they discuss Iraq, Republicans and Democrats seem to be looking at different wars. To Democrats and their backers, the recent increase in sectarian violence is proof that Bush's troop increases more than a year ago have not calmed the country or fostered political and ethnic reconciliation.

Devils didn't fare to well against the Canes this year. 1-3, I believe. Hopefully, they turn it up for the playoffs.
This is great match, Canes have owned the Debbies this season, should be a really fun series.
Tonight! Let's go Devs!
Tough series, I'd say. Canes have been really hot of late.
Just watched the game. Luckily I was able to avoid updates all night long and watch the game in peace after class. Wow. Just wow. I couldn't be happier with how they played tonight. They absolutely dominated this game from start to finish. Every aspect of the game. It's only game one, but if this is any indication of what to expect the rest of the playoffs, this is going to be one hell of a run.
Game 2 on Friday night.
That was certainly a better performance. Shame I can't get to any games this series. Maybe Bettman will throw me a saturday game next round.
I'm pumped. Can't wait for the game to start!
Ugh, tough loss last night. Definitely could have won that one. Any word on Langenbrunner? His absence really hurt us in the 3rd and OT. Team just seemed to get a little fatigued and out of sync being down a man.
One pretty cool story after the game. I was with one of my good friends, visiting his sisters down in Lyndhurst last night. Turns out Chico Resch lives in the upstairs of their duplex. I was able to meet him when he got home from the game and talk to him about the game for a few minutes. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Pretty cool experience.
Langenbrunner's return is questionable
Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. -- New Jersey captain Jamie Langenbrunner will miss at least two games of the Devils' playoff series against the Carolina Hurricanes because of a lower body injury.
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said Saturday that Langenbrunner would miss Games 3 and 4 of the first-round series and that it was too early to tell whether the right winger would return for Game 5 back at home on Thursday, calling it "a day-by-day situation."
The teams split the first two games in New Jersey, and the series will continue on Sunday night. Game 4 is Tuesday.
Lamoriello called Langenbrunner's injury a "freak event." The captain was hurt Friday night in the second period of the Devils' 2-1 overtime loss.
"We don't know exactly where it transpired, but he felt it at a certain point," Lamoriello said.

Fingers crossed for game 5...
Deep team this season as we saw with Brodeur...
Another trip to the bar for me tonight though...
Stuck with the Van SL game on VS...
Not pretty, but still a W.
