Crazy Adventures in Parenting to find out about her special brand of crazy that allows her to raise six kids in a military family while maintaining her sense of humor.
What topics do you write about on your blog?
Parenting humor (obviously!), military-type things we endure/go through, eating all-natural/organic, my weight loss journey (getting back that pre-baby body)
What is a favorite post of yours?
Oh, I have quite a few. This one, though, STILL gets talked about. I captioned the photos I took of my son and my friend Amanda's son when we went on a blogger trip to Disney World, titled "Baby Lightsaber Humor". I still laugh hysterically when reading it. I love doing captioned posts with pictures. I. Do. It. A. Lot. Ahem.
Tell us a little bit about your military spouse journey.
My husband is active duty Army PSYOP, has served 14 years thus far, has deployed (thankfully only) once back in '04.
What are the challenges of being a military spouse?
Ah, the challenges of being a military spouse. Man oh man, I could go on all day about this, but I think the A.Number.One. thing is finally realizing that family doesn't always come first. You will get stationed at hellholes places you'll scratch your head and wonder "How on EARTH does this place stay open?" Sometimes (okay, a lot of the time), the military has its say and that's it, no rationale or reason, it makes no sense but because he's ordered to do it, he must, despite what havoc it'll wreak upon for your family.
What are the best parts of being a military spouse?
Hands down, the comradery with other military families. Living in post (that is, when your house doesn't suck). The pride you feel seeing your husband progressing through the ranks, tackling jobs, really making something of himself and bring so proud of what he does. Hearing the Star Spangled Banner and knowing how much more important it is to your family.
What is the most interesting, unusual, or funny thing that has happened to you as a result of being a military spouse?
Learning E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G the hard way. Especially with housing. I love it when something goes WAY wrong and they're like, "Oh, so sorry, Mrs. Douglas, this has never happened to anyone in the history of ever before." And I'm all, "Great, so I'm a freak of nature that attracts drama. Nice." And they're all, "Yeah. True story." #militarywifefail
To what extent have blogging and social networking affected the military spouse experience?
I've met so many more people than I would have without blogging and social media. It's given me an outlet and let me share our experiences with others, and vice versa.
If someone you care about was about to marry a military servicemember, what one piece of advice would you give?
Live for each day. You will never know what conflict may arise tomorrow, calling your spouse to duty overseas and in harms way.If you live each day without regret as though it's your last, you have not lost time, you've lived it to the fullest with the person you love.

An officer thought it was odd that two men were walking in the pouring rain early Wednesday near businesses on Lexington Road, and then found out one of them was carrying bolt-cutters and was wanted in Oglethorpe County, Athens-Clarke police said.
Christopher M. Farmer, 27, who is homeless, was arrested shortly after midnight at Thornton's Plaza, and officers took him to the county line where they released him to Oglethorpe County deputies, police said.

Canberra, Mar. 9 (ANI): In order to end foreign student exploitation in Australia, the Government needs to launch a major regulatory crackdown on "high-risk" education providers, a review of the international education sector has recommended.
The Baird review called for a stricter registration process for high-risk providers that would involve independent assessors, and a higher rate of registration for medium to high-risk providers.
"We've seen no increase in the number of people looking after these areas, but a doubling of the number of students that are in the area," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted former federal Liberal MP Bruce Baird, as saying.
In August, the Australian government had asked Baird to conduct a review following attacks on international students - especially Indians - and claims some education providers were exploiting foreigners.
Colleges would be fined if there was evidence they had repeatedly given prospective students wrong information about their courses.
"Students were saying, 'we just got wrong information, the agents lied to us', and we need to stop that," Baird added.
According to recommendations, education providers would be banned for offering commissions for "poaching" students from other colleges.
It was also suggested that there be one industry regulator rather than each state having its own.
Baird acknowledged ongoing concerns about racism and violent attacks on Indian students.
He said there might be a need to educate the public about the importance of embracing the sector.
"There is resentment there. The students need to feel a part of Australia and I think that's part of it," he pointed out. (ANI)

Devils 0 - Buffalo 2
The New Jersey Devils finally suffered their first shutout loss of the season at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres by the score of 2-0. Normally, I leave this until tomorrow, but there's only so much to say. In summary, as the fans chanted "Let's Go, Devils!" the team's efforts seemed to say, "Well, we're trying, but I think you're not going to see any of this 'Go' tonight."
Kevin Weekes played very well and it is an absolute shame that the Devils could not help him out as he helped them out in the first period. The Sabres, to their credit, absolutely rolled the Devils in that period. Thanks to Weekes and a defense that only became effective in the absolute clutch, the Devils were lucky to escape with only one goal against. But the Devils were terrible in these twenty minutes. For starters, the Sabres controlled the tempo from the start in what seemed to be the running theme of the night - the Sabres can complete passes, whereas the Devils cannot. Because they kept swarming the Devils' zone, all New Jersey could really do is clear. And as the Devils could not maintain possession, they could not generate offense; hence, the pathetic amount of 3 shots on net by the home team. The Devils took the awfulness to a new level by handing the Sabres 5 power plays in the same period. Amazingly, it was after they killed a 5-on-3 did Jason Pominville finally get a puck above Weekes' sliding legs (in a butterfly stance) to score. I emphasize the finally as the Sabres had 20 cracks at it all period. Outshot 20 to 3 and a magnificent effort from Weekes kept the score low. And Weekes' effort was the shining silver lining in a dark grey cloud of horribleness that was the rest of the Devils.
To be honest, I also saw some moments that show why Weekes isn't a starter. There were a number of plays where most goalies would smother a puck or ensure a rebound goes a little farther and into better locations for their own defense. Weekes didn't really do either in those cases; but thanks to an alert defense, it didn't cost New Jersey. Not to steal Weekes' thunder, he did truly play well, I'm just pointing out some miscues.
Now, in the second period and onward, the Devils defense finally got their minds right and started playing preventative defense. Such that they would stop the Sabres on offense before they could shoot. I know, a novel concept. This was aided by the fact that Lindy Ruff, coach of Buffalo, decided that the team should hang back. The second could have been the Devils' version of the first had they didn't spend most of the period giving away pucks. Seriously, forget what happened in the offensive zone. They couldn't make good passes in the neutral zone. When they finally did learn how to move the puck in there - using the tried and sometimes true method of dumping it in from last season - the Devils actually started generating some scoring chances. By the end of the second, I figured the Devils would continue the momentum and make Buffalo pay for sitting back.
But, oh, how was I wrong with the third period. The Devils made errant passes to waste opportunities, errant shots that would hit Sabres and not the net, and whereas the Devils were incredibly successful in burying loose pucks down low recently, they couldn't snag a clear shot off one at all. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Devils' offense was miserably awful. Fair play to Ryan Miller for making the saves he needed to; he did well. Also, credit must be given to the Sabres defenders who knew that if they collapsed in the slot, then they can stop the Devils from cleaning up loose pucks for goals. They also knew that if they challenged puckhandlers with aggressive positions, then they could either force a bad pass, block a shot, or force a Devil to miss the net. They did stand back, but the Sabres were ready for New Jersey. Again, by the third period, they knew about the dumped pucks, they responded well to them, and kept forcing the Devils to try and beat them. And they couldn't. While the Devils on defense did their job in limiting Buffalo to 5 shots; Patrick Kaleta's shot hit a Devil (I think) and it beat Weekes to ultimately seal the deal. The Devils offense was stopped stone dead.
What makes this loss so particularly frustrating was that the The Devils were handed opportunity after opportunity to get back into this game. The Sabres dropping into a shell since the start of the second period. The SEVEN power plays (seriously) the Devils had tonight (and some of them weren't bad, but they didn't build anything from them). Kevin Weekes' putting in a strong performance in their own end. But everyone on offense had a bad night, to say the least. Petr Vrana was miserable. Nicklas Bergfors played like he was in Lowell. Dainius Zubrus didn't really get going. Brian Gionta was inconsistent. Patrik Elias missed the net 6 times. Zach Parise couldn't get anything going and was ultimately ineffective despite his hustle; the same for Travis Zajac. John Madden couldn't muster any extra offense. Defensemen, namely Anssi Salmela (who was called up to fill in for Paul Martin, who had upper body soreness according to Gulitti), trying to power home loose pucks high from the point consistently missed. It wasn't like the Devils didn't try, what they tried didn't work and instead of adjusting and simplifying their game, they kept trying again. It's frustrating to watch and we can only hope they get it right for Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay. Especially on the power play.

Landing in Munich a few days ago was a crazy experience for me. I already heard that it started to snow a lot, but seeing the airport covered in white made my heart beat faster. The only thing left on my mind was that I gotta get my stuff together, call my buddies and go for a ride. And that's exactly what happened just a day later.
I didn't plan to much, but in the end everything just happened like it got scripted. Having some really close friends with me on my first day back on skis gave me a lot of confidence and I felt comfortable. What made this day even more special to me was, that I was accompanied by just those two friends of mine who brought me into freeriding in the first place. Eva Walkner and Sebastian Fischer, both awesome skiers and humans, changed my life back then. The passion and the vibe in addition to the feeling of freedom was contagious and soon later I got my first pair of freeride skis from Eva and Bastl took me to my first freeride competition.
Just yesterday I was lucky enough to head out with Eva and Sebastian again to do a little hike and ski some fresh powder. I still have to keep it really easy at the moment and my legs are far from being strong already, but enjoying this run made clear to me that I don't have a hurry. I can ski, I'm grateful for that, everything else time will tell.

Fergal Teahupoo Session
FERGAL Smith Teahupoo strike ended-up scoring for days at the End of the Road. Two swells, back-to-back, culminated in some Father's Day fireworks.
In picking off some of the best paddle waves of swell two (June 18th) Ferg flew the Irish flag in front of Laird of Teahupoo and local tour stalwart Michel Bourez. One of surfing's most laid back individuals didn't seem to be phased by the whole deal.
"I love Tahiti" Said he. "It's one place where I will drop everything for and that's pretty much what we had to do. With Cold Pro cancelled I figured it must have been a sign for us to go. It was such a fun swell, perfect glassy 8/10ft waves and having Tom and Mickey out there it was a really cool buzz. I stayed on another couple weeks for a second swell which was good as well. It's just such a good wave!"
Ferg's currently enjoying his annual West Oz summer holiday, tucking into 'fun' waves a dusty world away from Ireland.

There's absolutely nothing complicated about Peter Bjorn & John. Comprised of three guys named — you guessed it — Peter, Bjorn and John, the Swedes wear this simplicity on their sleeves. That sort of unself-conscious, and very Nordic, unfussiness carries over to beautiful effect in their music. This simplicity does not equate to a dearth of sonic complexity, but simply means that nothing, not a piano line or a vocal harmony, is overthought; nothing feels extraneous, contrived or extravagant. Rather, PB&J employ an economy of sound that leaves all of their music with a lingering feeling of perfection, like it was lovingly and painstakingly handwrought with an old, well-used jigsaw. Disarmingly simple as it may be, the trio's music hop-scotches across a half-dozen styles with the ease and fluidity of a fog bank rolling across a fjord. Offerings range from the chamber-pop-tinted vocals and power-pop guitars of "Far Away, By My Side," to the shoe-gaze haze mixed with indie-kid booty beats of last year's smash hit "Young Folks," to the infectious electro-melancholia of "Amsterdam." Covering such a wide range with such focused intent is a difficult task; Peter Bjorn & John make it look easy.

text: Flawed_Genius Posted November 17, 2008 I'm suffering from the freezing of the match engine.I have a good enough machine and have it on commentary only but it really lags when I want to make subs or tactical changes. It also lags coming back from those changes before the match gets up and running again. It is really hindering my enjoyment of what looks like a belter of a game. Any tips/ hints to help me along? Does the windows mode really work? Anyone had any joy? Any tips for the freezing? Any help would be gratefully received. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crunch time
It's crunch time on and off the court for GB handball keeper Laura Innes.
Last Updated: 08/11/11 10:02pm
GB handball has been pretty intense the last few months! The journey towards the Olympics is as exciting as ever with twists and turns every minute.
We are currently preparing for our Euro-Qualifiers which involve us playing Montenegro, Russia and Poland. This week sees GB facing Montenegro in Dubrovnik on Wednesday and Russia in Crystal Palace on Saturday.
With Montenegro hosting one of the best players in the world and Russia being the current World Champions, we are in for a tough week. We have been training well in the lead up to this week and start reviewing tactical and technical preparations from tomorrow- including a lot of video analysis (not bad home work to watch an hour of TV at a time!)
The squad are all looking forward to taking on some of the best in the world and due to the size and physicality of the nations we will be facing, we have been training against local men's teams which has been great practice for us! As handball is a full contact sport you have to step it up a little against the men!
So as well as some pretty good times we have had a bit of a rough time off the court and are now trying to find the funding to go to Brazil in December.
Funding hope
We were due to be going on camp alongside the World Championships to allow us to see our main opponents for next summer in peak competition and to play some matches as well, but do not have the funds to do this due to our own success!
We beat Finland to enter the Euro-Qualifiers and this is a costly process. It is important for us as a squad to be at the last major championships before the Games and so we decided that we would work on ways to find money/sponsorship for the trip - so it has been a busy time on all fronts!
Personally, things have been going really well for me. I am so happy to say that after battling a difficult injury for 18 months I am now fully training again and love every minute of it.
I came straight back in at the deep end, with my first match in over a year being against a men's team - but it was a really good start and things are coming back to me much faster than I had anticipated.
A lot of this is due to hours spent watching and analysing the game whilst I couldn't play - and visualising different match-like scenarios. I was not selected for these qualifiers, however progress is good and so I hope I will be ready (both physically and skill wise) for the next international matches we have in November.
So the atmosphere is great as we head into two tough collisions and we will be drawing on all our resources to put in good performances - most of all our faithful crowd support!
Lets go GB, Lets GO!

Concise executive education programmes help leaders bolster professional competenceTime constraints and busy working schedules sometimes make short business programmes the only viable option for executives wanting to harness their knowledge and skills."Our business school and academic team are internationally recognised, making our short open programmes a popular choice," says Della Wong, associate director, executive education office, School of Business and Management, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).The school has been consistently graded highly by renowned financial publications and research institutions, with its Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA programme ranked number one in the Financial Times' 2009 EMBA global rankings.About 90 per cent of the school's open programmes faculty staff are also teaching in the school's MBA and the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA programme.Flexible frameworkPracticality is key when it comes to the university's open enrolment programmes. "The emphasis is not on theory, but on getting participants to apply the business and management knowledge to work," Ms Wong explains.The university has been offering eight open programmes, each running for two days only, with a focus on topical business issues such as wealth and asset management, value investing and pricing for value creation.Business leadership is a newly introduced programme this year, with other popular courses including negotiation strategies and skills, and managerial decision making and leadership.Two consortium programmes—strategic human resource business leadership and leading for success, spanning five and 10 days respectively, are also on the prospectus."Responding to the changing market environment, we constantly review our programmes to make sure participants are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills," Ms Wong notes, adding that student feedback is considered when programmes are structured."Succeeding in the business world requires 'external' and 'internal' leadership skills," says Caroline Wang, adjunct professor, the HKUST School of Business and Management.Professor Wang, who was the highest-ranked Asian women executive at IBM globally when she was appointed adjunct professor by the HKUST Business School in 2003, will be teaching the business leadership programme. Its aim is to show participants how to draw up winning strategies and execute a business plan, she says. "A business plan without execution is useless and execution without a business plan can be unproductive."While external leadership refers to the leadership framework that contributes to successful business strategies and business execution, internal leadership is the flair that managers should possess in order to lead teams and motivate the execution of a business plan, Professor Wang points out.The programme is therefore tailored for departmental or functional leaders who have the responsibility to lead or to assist in formulating a winning strategy.This is the first time that the programme, which is taught at MBA level, is offered via open enrolment. It will run in the form of lectures, workshops, and case studies with participants bringing their own cases and challenges to trigger group discussions. Professor Wang notes that this should enable them to recognise gaps in their own business plans and help them to improve them.Added valueAlthough the open programmes are short in duration, they present participants with an opportunity to build connections with their peers, mostly senior executives, chief executive officers, directors, area managers and entrepreneurs from a diverse range of backgrounds and industries."Every year, we have some participants flying in from abroad. Last year, we even had two from South America," notes Ms Wong. Statistics show that over half the candidates hold doctorates or master's degrees, while 37 per cent have a bachelor's degree.Professor Wang herself attends at least two programmes every year. "Ongoing learning is a must these days. By spending two days away from the office, participants are able to clear their minds and see things from a new perspective," she explains.All open programmes are conducted in English. Class sizes are generally restricted to 25 to 30 people, but some can accommodate up to 40, says Ms Wong. "Many participants return regularly, attending two or three programmes a year," she remarks. For this reason, the business school aims to offer at least one new course every year.

KIRKUK, Iraq–
In the springtime, the arid lands of northern Iraq undergo a dramatic transformation. Winter rains have made the undulating landscape a verdant green. Between sandstone outcrops, farmers till unfenced fields of wheat and barley, and hillsides blossom with wildflowers. Hidden beneath the loam, a mysterious treasure blooms.
It's early March, and a bath-warm breeze blows across the countryside east of Kirkuk, a multi-ethnic city of one million people in northern Iraq. Men roam the hillsides in a meandering fashion, strolling slowly and changing course often in response to unseen signals. They walk pensively, arms clasped behind their backs, holding narrow trowels or long screwdrivers. They contemplate the ground, studying its nuances. Hidden next to low shrubs, covered by grass clumps or nearly obscured by the impressions of goat hooves, they seek the faint mound and tell-tale crack that reveals a desert truffle pushing its way to the surface.
Cheaper and considerably more abundant than their distant European cousins, desert truffles are part of the genus Terfezia, found throughout the Middle East and Africa. They invoke a no less fervent passion among fanatical fungus foragers here than does the Tuber magnatum. In Iraq, men have lost their lives in search of these truffles; others spend their lives in obsessive pursuit of them.
Retired Kurdish school teacher Ali Mohammed forages in the same area every year, near the village of Bawa, where his mother was born. This year, he's brought his son Aram, an engineer in Kirkuk, and his nephew, Khogir, who works for a think tank in Erbil, the capital of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region. While the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters have shielded Kurdish regions from worst of the violence currently plaguing Iraq, a war against Islamic State militants is stretching toward its third summer, the economy is imploding, and tens of thousands of young Iraqis are leaving the country for Europe. Aram is looking for a way out, while Khogir is still on the fence. A day out truffle hunting provides a welcome distraction.

Ali is an eagle-eyed hunter, completely fixated on unearthing the subterranean fungi. Aram and Khogir adopt a more leisurely approach, taking the time to elucidate on some of the finer points of truffle hunting. As we walk, they spin tales of successful expeditions, interweaving their anecdotes with snippets of local lore. Beyond their flavor—less pungent than the European variety—desert truffles are prized for their medicinal properties. A saying of the Prophet Mohammed suggests that when cooked as a soup, truffles make an effective remedy for ailments of the eye. Men also believe that eating truffles will enhance their potency and performance. "I don't know, though," says Khogir, a bachelor. "I'm not yet performing."
As with their European counterparts, these truffles form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of specific plants and grow only in certain types of sandy soil under the right conditions. That makes cultivating them extremely difficult and predicting where they will grow in the wild more art than a science. Prize spots can be closely guarded secrets and hunters do not share all their techniques for finding truffles. Local legend holds that heavy thunder causes the spores to germinate, leading to expectations of poor harvests in years during which there are no lightning storms.
"Here, look." Khogir plunges his trowel beneath a scarcely noticeable bulge in the ground. As he carefully lifts the mound upward, the soil cleaves apart to reveal a dark object the size of a small potato. Bowing our heads as if in prayer, we carefully wipe off the dirt to inspect it. It's light but firm and has a slightly musty odor.
"Now we find his cousins," says Khogir. Where one is found, others are likely to be discovered nearby.

Picture: Wolfmother Live Earth Australia Concert held at the Aussie Stadium Sydney, Australia - 07.07.07
LATEST: Cult rockers Wolfmother were staggered when they invited American pranksters Jackass to appear in their latest music video, because the MTV jokers immediately drank all their booze and started kicking people in the groin. The Australian trio allowed the Jackass crew to "crash" a gig in the band's hometown of Sydney, and film the results for upcoming single promo JOKER AND THE THIEF. But the band hadn't bargained for how outrageous - and painful - their antics would be. Frontman ANDREW STOCKDALE says, "They drank our rider then things started blowing up, people started getting kicked in the nuts. "When you fear that you're going to get hurt you stop worrying about other things, like playing a show for 6,000 people. You're not worrying about that, you're just walking around covering your balls. It was good having them around."

Selecting window coverings in your residence is usually one of the vital time-consuming and difficult design chores to do, and window coverings for sliding glass doorways are even tougher. It's virtually not attainable for you to build a house which is over 5000 ST anymore with out including a multi or a pocket slide doors. One smart way to do this and create an organizational ingredient to your house is adding interior sliding doorways. Thus, once you have closed the part that marks your area on your room and stay in it, you would not hear lots of disturbing noise from the other division which is the party venue.
Another way to creatively use these folding doors as dividers is when you have a big room and you need to convert it into two rooms. Once more, you may have the doorways as your dividers and efficiently maximize the use of your open space. If your residence also has a very small space and also you need another separate section for some particular goal, the dividers would be a giant help. When you have a room adjoining to a balcony, it will be better to use bi-folding doors as an alternative for higher control of the light and ventilation in your room.
This would not have been doable with the usage of unmoving door panels of the French doors. These home windows would just be like mini bi-folding doors fitted in a smaller area. Wood Bi Folding Doorways Sliding and folding doorways can be very efficient options to inside areas. Make certain, before buying you already know all of the options of bi fold doorways in details. Folding sliding doors might be added to any new extension or existing property to enable you to open out your property and add mild into your life. Shopping on-line for industrial and residential door hardware has by no means been easier.
We actually wanted to go the whole hog, with island models, a wall hung tv, bi folding doorways opening as much as the patio; we actually needed to create the kitchen of our dreams. Probably, probably the most obvious advantage is at all times that folding doorways are usually totally retracting. It's common that in an house with three rooms and a kitchen there are seven interior doors: the outer door and interior doorways of the balcony, bathroom and wardrobe doorways as well as two bedroom doorways and a kitchen door. If you are looking for a reputable sliding door firm that offers nice costs on sliding door hardware, look no further.…

Is "Wild" still a thing?
i saw it a few years back i think at e3 and the trailer looked amazing but not much info since then...
game "journalists" at it again with their holier than thou moral "superiorities".
Dont you have some women to sexually assault? We all know you progressive feminists have entire catacombs buried in your closets.
the fact that the tutorial is triggering gaming journalists!
Would love this game for PS4. Looks great
The point is for those who didnt buy the game initially.
its a good bargain considering they get all S1 and S2 characters with it
oh look its Polygon trying to remain relevant!
Garbage site no click from me
Lack of metal gear solid 3 is BS
developers are free to do whatever, PERIOD.
No ifs and buts. All these other moral busy bodies can go get screwed and or make their own games
yes first few times is fine, but you have to remember that these guys are paid to write about gaming, they are game "journalists" yet this simple console layout is too confusing for their simple minds
How is this morally inept and corrupt POS of a website still allowed on N4G?
Seriously why?
give it a rest you moron. millions of people have finished dark souls games. nobody says "i am a king, worship me".
dont forget what made dark souls a cult hit in the first place. never pander to your lowest common denominator FromSoftware.
now that was a joke. They made it so accessible that babies can beat it. They catered to the baby market and its not selling.
Dark Souls is unique and there is a certain distinctive nature to the game that would be foolish to remove to appease the "masses"
Street Fighter V may have a ton of problems but gameplay is certainly not one of them
agreed. I respect what ever ND chooses to do , however i feel it is a dumb decision to have it removed, especially since the team already had it modeled and everything.
At the end of the day it is only a video game, having these goofy outfits just adds to the replay-ability.
I would love the option to name screen shots and more importantly video clips as i save them
if nintendo is good at anything it is artstyle! Nintendo have a history of producing technical marvels, not only in gameplay but also in graphics.
I admire your guile and courage to explain to this blogger the intricate thought process of my comment.
Your critique of his article is SPOT ON. I couldn't have phrased it better myself. I wouldn't personally waste my time trying to argueing with him considrering how terrible this click bait title is.
No Mans Sky could be the second coming of christ or just pile of shit. I for one am intrigued and all these nonsense bloggers got...
Agreed! As long as it is not a full priced retail game im excited to give it a go.
*to the author of article*
With an attitude like that i can't imagine how fun your sex life must be :)
f*&k mei cant believe i actually agreed with you. i think hat deserves a bubble
are you sure about child of light? i dont remember that one
the random disc eject thing happened to a buddy of mine and it was annoying as fuck. luckily his PS was still under warranty and got it exchanged for a new one.
the analogue thing happened to 3 of my controllers. stupid week ass plastic coating was a terrible idea

Red Sox Avoid Sweep With 9-2 Win Over Yanks
Just when it seemed like the Boston Red Sox bats had gone dormant, they came to life Sunday night in a 15-hit barrage against the New York Yankees in Boston's 9-2 win. The win prevented New York from sweeping the three game weekend series and leaves Boston two games ahead of the Bronx Bombers in the standings, and one game behind Tampa Bay for the AL East Division lead.
In Friday night's game, New York received a near flawless pitching performance by rookie Joba Chamberlain. In seven innings of work, Chamberlin allowed only 3 hits while striking out nine Red Sox batters and surrendered no runs. Mariano Rivera worked the final five outs to preserve New York's 1-0 win. Their lone run off of Josh Beckett came in the 4th inning on an RBI infield single from Jason Giambi.
"I've had quality starts against everybody," Chamberlain said. "You understand it's going to be a tough game. He (Beckett) is an unbelievable pitcher. He battles and claws."
Saturday in a pitching match up between two veterans it was Andy Pettitte and the Yankees who got the upper hand of Tim Wakefield's knuckleball in New York's 10-3 win. Boston jumped out early and grabbed a pair of runs in the first inning on an RBI single by David Ortiz followed by a Manny Ramirez RBI ground out. After that, it was pretty much all New York.
The Yankees connected for 13 hits total, eight off of Wakefield in his 5 1/3 innings of work. Heading into the 6th inning and the score still close at 3-2 NY, Wakefield struggled to get outs, the Yanks put four more runs on the board and knocked him out of the game. The win was Pettitte's 12th on the season and the Yankees were 8-0 in eight games after the All Star break.
"Our pitching has been really good all year," manager Joe Girardi said. "That's what's kept us afloat. And now we're starting to hit better. We're starting to score runs. It's a good combination to have."
After falling twice, the Sox sent Jon Lester to the mound to try and stop the bleeding and that he did. Once again, the young southpaw was able to pick up a victory by tossing seven innings and allowing only two earned runs on nine hits while striking out eight batters along the way.
"Luckily, we get some runs early and I held it." Lester said. "It definitely felt like a different atmosphere in the dugout tonight. Guys were laughing, having fun, seemed like they were going up to the plate more relaxed."
The Sox were able to score three runs in the first, a run in the second and third inning and then two more runs in the fourth which came on Ortiz's first homerun since returning from his wrist injury. On the series, Ortiz went 5-12 with a HR and four RBI's.
Manny Ramirez also had a stellar game going 3-5 at the plate with two RBI's and two runs scored. This came after he made a few typical Manny-esk remarks before the game began that created a little buzz in the media room, but did not really surprise anyone. In the past, the eight year Sox veteran has demanded trades during the 2005 and 2006 off-season. Ramirez originally told ESPNdeportes.com on Sunday that he wouldn't object to a trade if the Red Sox are better without him.
Later, in the clubhouse, he said, "What I said was, if the Red Sox think they can find a trade that's going to make their team better and both sides are going to be happy, I'm going to agree. But they cannot find a trade. It's something simple. It's no big deal."
Mike Lowell may have put it best when after the game he said, "Manny says a lot of things. Some of them are entertaining. Some of them make you roll your eyes and spin your head. But it seems like every time after he says something he goes 3-for-4 so maybe we should encourage him to say something like that."
Ramirez's RBI double in the first inning gave him 1,668 on his career and puts him in the 23rd spot for all-time, surpassing Sammy Sosa whom he had been tied with prior to the game.
Tonight, the Red Sox welcome the Los Angeles Angels to town. The Sox whom boast the best home record in baseball at 37-13 know that the Angels will be another tough test because they come in with the best road record in baseball at 33-19. Back in April the Angels took two of three from Boston so the Sox look to turn the tables on their West Coast foes.
Dice-K Matsuzaka (11-1, 2.85 ERA) looks to pick up his 12th victory on the season and will have to do so against the Angels Jered Weaver (8-8, 4.08 ERA). Weaver is 0-2 lifetime against Boston and in his only outing against them this season pitched five innings and allowed five runs on 10 hits in a game on April 22nd at Fenway.
Matsuzaka has only faced LA once in his short MLB career and allowed three earned runs in only 4 2/3 innings of work last season in Game 2 of the ALDS Playoff series, a game the Sox would win 6-3.
Tickets are still available for the remainder of the Angels series!

Teensy Cartridge Dumper/Writer
Revision for "Teensy Cartridge Dumper/Writer" created on February 16, 2017 @ 08:25:18
Teensy Cartridge Dumper/Writer
The Teensy Cartridge Dumper/Writer is a general purpose design which routes 24 address bits, 16 data bits and a dozen control signals to a pair of female headers. With these headers, console specific cartridge adapters can be attached to interface the Teensy's data and address buses to the desired game cartridge. [toc]
Status
 As of January 11th 2017 this project is still in development and is not yet mature. The Teensy firmware and PC-side software are GPLv3. If you are interested in assisting in the development of this project, please contact me and I will provide you with hardware and add you as a contributor to the project.

Currently Working Features

Genesis Cartridges

Dump ROM (any arbitrary data length starting at any arbitrary address) to file

Dump ROM (any arbitrary data length starting at any arbitrary address) to console, nice Hex editor like output

Get Flash ID

Read ROM Header, output nice formatted table to console

Calculate and compare cartridge checksum

Erase Flash IC

Program BIN file to cartridge

Teensy++ 2.0
 The microcontroller used in this project is a Teensy++ 2.0 development board. These are Arduino compatible boards which offer significant USB improvements over standard Arduinos.
Adapters
 I currently have several cartridge adapters available for the Teensy Dumper, not all are tested and validated yet.

SNES

Master System

Sega Genesis

Colecovision (only compatible with my custom Colecovision carts)

Turbografx-16 (only compatible with my custom Turbografx-16 carts)

 If you follow the pin sequence on the Teensy Dumper's output port, you could design your own board to interface to any data / address up to 16 bits data and 24 bits address.
Schematics
 The Teensy outputs a general purpose 16 bit DA bus which is used to trigger three HC373 latches to generate 24 bits of data. The board also has a serial flash on board to store ROMs for on-the-go cartridge flashing but this feature has not been implemented yet.

text: Works Mark the Christian It's not that works save the Christian , but that works mark the Christian. I am reading and we are studying on Wed., the book of James . It only makes sense that we who have been given much should give much. Not just with words but with our lives. James speaks basically to the Christian and is teaching some very valuable lessons. In James 2: 4 he says if people say they have faith , but do nothing their faith is worth nothing. Can faith like that save them? Christianity is more action on Monday than worship on Sunday. Faith and good deeds go hand in hand. God allows tough situations in our lives in oder to refine us and bring us closer to Him. We should approach these times with the right attitude and seek wisdom form God.

McQuaids of Lisnaree Co. Down
I am looking for information on the families of McQuaid which emigrated to Lisnaree Co. Down in the 1780's. My Great,Great,Great Grandfather was David and was born on the family farm about 1814 and died about 1850. I know the family emigrated from County Monaghan, but that is as far as I have gotten. David's son Patrick emigrated to the US in 1859 and finally settled in Jacksonville, Fla and was the first Mayor of that city. My great grandfather went west and settled in the Salt Lake City area where my granmother continues to live.
Ironically I live in Rochester, NY and grew up and still attend and sing in the Cathedral parish of Sacred Heart. My father is studying to become a permanent Deacon and works in the Pastoral Center for the Diocese of Rochester. He attends St. Bernards Institute which is the old St. Bernards Seminary which Bishop Bernard McQuaid founded. I know somewhere along the line I am related to the Bishop,but haven't found the connection yet. In looking at old photos of the BIshop, My mother states that there is a family resemblance. My Aunt is researching the family from the Mormon Archives in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Does anyone have any info on the Lisnaree connection and if so would you contact me @ firstname.lastname@example.com, Chris

Sales is one of the best careers out there, and one of the highest paying if you find the right company and industry (more on this later).
But how do you prepare for a sales job interview to land the job? This article is going to show you EXACTLY how, in detail, step-by-step.
If you have a sales job interview coming up or you're hoping to find a sales job, then you do NOT want to miss this. Let's get started…
Let's talk about what is different in a sales job interview first. Then I'll cover some basic interview preparation tips that anyone should follow.
First off, when you prepare for a sales job interview you need to show that you're driven and motivated.
Sales has its ups and downs and companies don't want to worry that they're hiring someone who will constantly need encouragement if they have a bad week. So prepare to show them you're resilient and have faced challenges in your life and career.
That brings me to the next point. You need to show them that you KNOW that this is a part of working in sales. The ups, the downs, the challenges. Hearing "no" multiple times per day. So you need to show them that you know this is how it works.
There's also another difference between sales job interviews and every other type of job interview out there. Most of the time in sales job interviews, it's okay to talk about money and say you're motivated by money. So prepare a few reasons for why you want this job, and don't be afraid to include high earnings potential as one reason (if the job does indeed provide a high earnings potential).
If you already work in sales… you should be able to explain why you like it and want to continue doing it.
If you're preparing to interview for your first sales job, this is even more important. Have a reason for why you're interested in sales in general.
I've interviewed plenty of recent graduates and entry level candidates for sales positions in one of my former companies. And we would NOT hire you if you didn't know why you wanted to work in sales.
And also, it's a big "red flag" if our company is the only sales position you're applying for. If I ask what other jobs you're looking at, and none of them are sales, I'm going to wonder why you're here (and then I'm not going to hire you).
So lie if you have to, but don't tell the interviewer that their job is the only sales position you are interviewing for.
You need to show them you're excited about this stuff if you want them to hire you.
So raise your energy level a bit for the interview and try to match the person you're speaking to. If they're energetic and excited, add a bit of that to your own communication.
If you're on a phone interview, stand up and smile while you talk. Those are two ways to change how you sound.
I'm not telling you to be completely fake. Tons of GREAT salespeople are introverts. I am, and I did fine working in sales. But you can't go into the interview mumbling under your breath and acting half asleep if you want to get the job.
Having low energy is one of the top reasons for not getting hired in a sales job interview.
This is going to be tougher if you're interviewing for an entry level job and you have no sales experience. But try to think of ways to do this either way…
When you preparing for a sales job interview, the hiring manager is going to want to hear specific examples of past accomplishments that relate to the job. Talking on the phone, convincing people to see things your way, being a good listener, overcoming objections, dealing with failures and setbacks, etc.
If you've worked in sales before, you'll want to give specific results you achieved. Get detailed, talk about exact numbers and accomplishments. I recommend this on your resume too FYI.
But even if you're a recent graduate or entry level job seeker without sales experience… you can talk about using persuasion to make people see things your way, or how you convinced somebody of something in a class project or internship.
You can also definitely talk about a challenge you've overcome, and a time a project didn't go how you expected but you overcame the obstacle.
Those are two things you're almost sure to be asked about.
This is important when preparing for any interview, but is especially important in sales. Why? because things tend to get tough in sales, and the hiring manager wants to make sure you have a powerful motivator so you don't give up and quit.
This one big motivator can be many things: The desire to build a career you're proud of. The desire to earn a lot of money and buy nice things for your family. A love of challenges and pushing your limits professionally. A passion for talking to people, using persuasion, etc. Or come up with your own reason for why you get out of bed and go to work each morning. But have one big, powerful reason.
These are questions that start with phrases like: "tell me about a time you…"
Come up with one of the following:
There are over 50 behavioral questions you could be asked, but these are things you're likely to be asked in almost every sales interview.
If you want more help, I cover over 130 questions in my complete guide to job interview answers and I also share an easy 4-step method for answering any behavioral question correctly. Go ahead and check it out now if you think it might help you.
Next up, I'm going to cover some basics you should know for any interview, including your sales interview.
There's some basic stuff you should do to prepare for any interview. I cover it in-depth in this interview preparation article, but here's the basic idea…
You should know all of these things before the start of your interview (and be able to explain them well)…
You should also know all of these things about the company…
If you've done everything above you're in much better shape than most people walking into a sales job interview.
People aren't going to know what hit them with some of these questions that I covered here. And you will.
Don't forget to practice your answers at home though. Nothing comes out perfect the first time.
And if there's one final thing I want to stress/repeat to you, it's this: Really prepare a lot to talk about why you want to work in sales or why you enjoy working in sales.
Here's why…
Most companies have their own sales training methods, their own scripts for emailing and calling, etc. So they'll teach you the "how".
But they need to make sure you're motivated and that you know what you're getting into (a rewarding, but emotionally-challenging career).
They will not hire you if you act like you think sales will be easy and won't come with big challenges. Because when things get tough, they want to make sure you'll stick around.
Note: I've talked about sales being a great, high paying career a few times now. If you're wondering why, and what type of sales jobs are best, read this article.

Lord Rix asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Rix: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that helpful Answer. Is she aware that there is still considerable confusion between the poll tax and the council tax? Under the poll tax only paid care workers could claim discounts, but under the council tax unpaid workers, including parents, can claim discounts. Is she further aware that wording is being put out from various councils in the following terms:
Baroness Hayman: My Lords, the noble Lord makes an important point. It is essential that those entitled to discounts understand the provisions that are available to them. It would be useful to ask officials to take the first possible opportunity to remind local authorities of the need to encourage take-up of the discounts by ensuring that people understand the eligibilities and that information about them is expressed as clearly as
Lord Campbell of Croy: My Lords, how can local authorities ensure that carers are aware of the discounts unless information is supplied in the council tax documents which must be sent to every household? Only a few words are needed, leaving consequent applications to be dealt with in detail.
Baroness Hayman: My Lords, the noble Lord reinforces the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Rix. There is no need to circulate a great deal of information, but it has to be clear and well presented. We will do what we can to ensure that it is.
Lord Ashley of Stoke: My Lords, my noble friend's response and promised action are warmly welcomed. However, as some local authorities have denied that a discount is available, will she monitor the response to her leaflet?
Baroness Hayman: My Lords, there should be no doubt about eligibility to the discount. Its purpose is to ensure that people with disabilities and their carers do not pay more council tax as a result. Other provisions are designed to take account of the specific needs of disabled people. When we bring the matter to the attention of local authorities I undertake to ensure that they are clear about the provisions.
Lord Bowness: My Lords, does the Minister agree that while the whole House wishes to ensure that carers receive the discount and their full entitlement, it is important to emphasise that any suggestion of prescription of either forms or procedures would be at odds with a shared desire that local authorities should be less constrained by central government and that well run authorities make it their business to ensure that information is available? Furthermore, now that the initial problems have been overcome, can she tell the House whether there is any evidence that local authorities are not making the evidence available?
Baroness Hayman: My Lords, we would not wish to be prescriptive but, as I said earlier, we do wish to encourage good practice. It is important that people with disabilities and their carers should have access to a standard of clear information on the issue, which is a universal provision. I believe that the noble Lord asked me a second question.
Lord Bowness: My Lords, I asked the Minister whether she had any evidence to show that local authorities are not fulfilling their duties.
Baroness Hayman: My Lords, I believe that a number of voluntary organisations are concerned that while the duty may be being fulfilled technically, the quality of information--the point, I think, made by
Lord Swinfen: My Lords, will the Minister tell the House whether the Government are proposing to review the criteria for the discount? At the moment, I understand, a carer must be paid no more than £30 per week for at least 24 hours work per week. By my arithmetic, that works out at something like £1.20 per hour, which strikes me as pitiful.
Baroness Hayman: My Lords, as I understand it, there are a range of carers who are eligible. Their presence in the house makes the householder eligible for the discount on council tax. Perhaps the noble Lord will allow me to write to him with further details.
Baroness Gardner of Parkes asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Gardner of Parkes: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that Answer. I am delighted that she went on the walk. It is extremely important to bring out the point that it is not only women who suffer from osteoporosis. One in 12 men aged over 50 suffer from it. Is the Minister aware that the estimated annual cost to the health service of treating men's fractures caused by osteoporosis is about £150 million? It is particularly important to have follow-up treatment to prevent recurrence and a second fracture. Is the Minister also aware that people who fall suffer from a fracture only if they have osteoporotic bones? Will she make it clear that the condition affects not only women but also men; and it can also affect young people, including athletes and ballet dancers, who may suffer from stress fractures if they have been on very restrictive diets?
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness for reinforcing the point
The Countess of Mar: My Lords, is the noble Baroness aware of the work that has been done at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham? The orthopaedic surgeons there have found an unusually high number of osteoporotic stress fractures among young male farmers. Will the Minister say whether her department has had time to consider my request for £35,000 for funding further research into that matter?
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, I am aware of the extremely unfortunate situation where, as the noble Countess says, several young men who were both active and much younger than the average age for osteoporosis appeared to have developed those symptoms. At the moment that research is not funded by the Department of Health but I understand that the National Osteoporosis Society is looking into the matter further.

Random BSOD after 1-2 hours 0x0000007A
Yesterday I had multiple BSOD's all of them randomly after 1 hour or more and today exactly the same. Even letting the system idle will cause a BSOD. Have already scanned with AVG and malwarebytes (which were installed after the BSOD thing started). Also updated the video drivers to the latest stable version (13,1). Have tried to run a Memtest by burning an ISO to disk but I only see the Memtest pop-up for one sec before it crashes and restarts in an endless loop.
Normally I fix those things myself but there was no reason at all to start BSOD'ing. Normally you know you did something that could've caused it. Installed nothing last few days except 1 program which is now uninstalled without effect.
please help???
In the attachment is the dump and other files that you guys needed + a picture of the BSOD I have every hour.
|My System Specs
|10 Apr 2013
The zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.
Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.
Wait for another BSOD now. Upon the next bsod, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
At the same time, update teh firmware of M4-CT128M4SSD2 from Crucial.com Product Downloads - Firmware Updates. Update the firmware of ST320LT007-9ZV142 from Download Firmware.
Also, try to update the BIOS of your Alienware M17xR3 from Product Selection | Dell US
Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one. Scan the system for possible virus infection with these programs, too.
|My System Specs
|10 Apr 2013
Thank you! have done everything that was asked. None of the scans revealed anything. Except one false positive but I removed it anyway to soothe you guys .
Have done all the firmware updates and all the other remaining stuff I had to do.
Just before your post it gave a BSOD. Have been waiting for the last few hours for the BSOD to show up but it didn't! This is not where the road ends though It could still be one of the vital pieces of software which I turned off in msconfig.exe. Have turned on some programs which I really need. If it gives BSOD again it's probably one of those. I think Razer Synapse could be the one since it is authorized to update automatically.
I'm waiting now for BSOD if it doesn't give one it's fixed and I thank you for helping me!
I will report back if it (doesn't) keep(s) working
edit: It didnt crash. It's fixed! I have no idea what the problem was but I think it could be the Daemon tools std or the firmware updates. THANKS!

Michael Bergstrom, PMG's Director of Client Solutions, speaks on Manufacturing Revival Radio about the state of labor in manufacturing
In November, Michael Bergstrom, PMG's Director of Client Solutions, was invited to speak on Manufacturing Revival Radio during their live broadcast at FabTech in Chicago. Michael was invited to speak on the state of labor in manufacturing.
During the interview, Michael discussed the changes that many manufacturers may not be aware of regarding today's workforce. Host Todd Youngblood discussed with Michael about why it is better at times to use a labor solutions firm, like PMG, instead of hiring a directly.
"What's growing and changing in the workforce today is that workers want flexibility; workers want greater independence," said Michael.
Traditionally manufacturers have looked to hiring skilled technicians to meet production needs, but this is not always the most cost effective, productive option. That approach also does not attract the rapidly growing numbers of skilled workers that prefer to work on a contract basis.
"As businesses, we have to adapt to the changes," said Michael. "The desires of today's workforce is changing and this segment of the workforce is growing five times faster than the traditional workforce that we commonly associate with."

text: I'd installed the VS980 24A [ROM] from my CWM recovery. The ROM works great and I have no problem with it but unfortunately I'd forgot to make a Titanium backup of all my apps and data from my 12B stock but I did make a nano backup of it! So I'd restored my 12B nano backup but when I'd rebooted the phone it was stuck in a continuous boot loop, fortunately I was able to get back into the CWM recovery and reinstalled the 24A ROM to get my phone back up and running. From what I read I'm assuming the problem is coming from the 24A baseband, so I was wondering if there's a 12B BB file out there I could zip to boot back up to a 12B Rom or do I have go thru the whole process of reflashing back to STOCK using the KDZ or TOT process and then OTA and reroot again? Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.


text: So Im asking if this already exists because I havent seen a app that does this... My idea is a app that will auto turn on your wifi when in range of a remembered connection and then turn it off and turn on 3g when out of range. I think this would be of great benifit as far as battery life goes. Especially to those that have connections at home and at work. Now I know its as easy as using the toggle widgets, but to have it automated would be nice. So if no one knows of a app that does this, maybe someone knows a app developer that might like the idea. Im not tech savvy or I'd do it myself

This account was a bill from Verizon that I never recieved because they had the wrong address on file and never sent it to me. That didn't stop them from listing the bill as being in collections, of course, and now here I am. What can I do? And why does my credit score keep falling? Its now 630 from 750 back in October.
As a further question, why are all my categories listed as "A" except for number of accounts, which is D, and overall I'm rated at a "D"?

New Colorado Rapids Designated Player Gabriel Torres made an immediate impact for his club Monday, as he scored the game-winning goal in the Rapids' 2-1 MLS Reserve League win over Chivas USA.
Torres, who joined the Rapids late last week after a sparkling Gold Cup tournament, scored the winner for the visitors in the 84th minute, after entering the match in the 69th minute. The forward shared the Golden Boot with Landon Donovan and Chris Wondolowski at the Gold Cup, and the Rapids will certainly hope he can score in MLS with the regularity that the American duo has shown over the years.
Colorado face Vancouver in MLS regular-season action Saturday, where Torres will look to start his MLS career with a bang.

I think this would have looked better if you had used different sprites instead of just the same ones. When attacks happen I don't think in the actual pokemon game they just sit there and take it both sides could have dodged many times. Personallly I feel that this was better without sound since there was so many explosions going on that that would have probably all we would have heard. Try and include music next time at least no SFX.
