text: I just wanted to share my story with people who might understand what my family is going through... On January 9th my brother-in-law was killed in a car accident. He was just 25 years old. his 26th Birthday would have been just 2 weeks later. He was a wonderful, caring, and funny person. He always had a smile on his face that made whoever was there want to smile too. He was also an Iraqi War veteran and had returned home from war two years ago only to dies 2 miles from his home when he lost control of his car and crashed into a tree. In addition to this unspeakable tragedy that we were faced with, my husband and two young children, 6 & 8, were supposed to go on our "dream" vacation to do the "Land & Sea" trip with Disney 4 days in Orlando 3 Days on the Cruise. We never thought we would be able to go on this trip since the cruise is normally very expensive. We had booked it only the week before when we saw the amazing discounts Disney was offering at this time of year. we were all set to go airline booked hotel, cruise, and NO traveler's insurance. You never think something bad is going to happen to you... we lost my brother-in-law and had his funeral the same weekend we were supposed to leave on our trip. Of course we cancelled those dates, but Disney couldn't refund our money since we didn't purchase the insurance. they were happy to re-book our trip for any other time but we would have to pay the difference in price, which unfortunately wasn't an option for us at the time. We made the decision that we would still go on our trip. It was bittersweet...we were dealing with such a tragic loss I don't even know if we were making rational decisions at the time everything was really a blurr. We arrived in Disney in a somber state but we knew we had to make the most of it for our kids. We tried our best but there were a number of emotional breakdowns while we were there. We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside for 4 days and then went on to our 3 day Disney Cruise. When we arrived in our cabin we found a wonderful gift bag of beach toys from our daughter's teacher on our bed and a tray of food from guest services. Later on that day someone arrived with another tray of food and a letter for us that we had been chosen as "The Family of the Cruise" out of over 2,000 guests! the letter went on to say that we would be able to order any of our meals from the restaurants on the ship and have it delivered to our room. We were so surprised! I knew that it was "The Year of Magical Moments" at Disney I rationalized that was we were chosen, but deep in my heart I felt that someone must have told Disney what we were going through and they chose us because we needed a little "extra" magic in our lives. Disney really did more than I could ever ask for they brought us snacks to our room of cookies and fruit, gave us a tour of the bridge, gave us certificates for beach rentals at castaway cay, signed pictures of all of the characters, toys, pins, the works. And on the final night after the show we took the kids backstage to personally meet all of the characters from the show. Afterwards, we spoke to the woman at guest services who had arranged for all of this and come backstage with us. We shared with her what had happened to us and could no longer hold back our tears. You could see it in her eyes that she already knew. We really just wanted to disappear into the crowd on this ship and go unnoticed. We didn't really want to have this extra attention especially for the reasons it happened. But now that a few months have passed. I wanted to express how grateful we are that someone cared enough for our family in our time of need to reach out and lift our spirits. I see it now as my brother-in-law's last gift of magic to our family, pushing us to move forward and live life the way he did...happy, loving, laughing. I miss u .R.I.P 1/9/07

I've been using roll20 recently for a D&D game, and it really is pretty fantastic. It just takes a bit of time to get your macros and custom stuff setup. It's a lot more user-friendly if you buy-in apparently, but we've done fine without dropping any cash

I want one where it is lifelike and realistic
One where you have the ability to craft things, or likewise get it at a shop.
But I also want to be able to open my own shop if desired.
I want the in game engine to be so complex, we can theoretically make thing in real life.
Like cars, and rocket ships eventually.
I want different atmospheres as well. Make the moon land-able and habitable. Where you will need to have the right equipment on.
I want it to mimic real life....I want it to have VR support.
Then it should be plugged into our spine.
Come on matrix, we can't that far away, can we?

I tried getting some PnP nerding on with roll20 and met a few friendly people. But the biggest problem I had was 99% of the games were Pathfinder or some other D&D variant. I'm sure those are cool games and all, but I'm into something like Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, or Vampires the Masquerade.
Literally impossible to get those going. I would've started my own groups/games but I don't have much PnP experience and would make a dreadful DM.

Guild wars has a hot bar for skills, instant fail. If the game has any "press button, awesome happens" then it's not skill based, its level based.
And yet Guild Wars 1 required a lot more than just "Press button for awesome". The game played more like a TCG meets RTS meets MMO than a WoW clone, which you seem to think it was based entirely on screen shots alone.
GW1 had a level cap of 20, reachable in literally an hour or two, and from there was a game based entirely on skill set ups and micromanagement of your Heroes. Yes, you could play the game with other people, but honestly the game's real enjoyment came from playing solo with Heroes, since as I said, it felt more like an RTS with MMO and TCG elemetns than it did a hot-key based MMO.
Of course playing with others did change the meta of the game pretty drastically as well, and while I personally preferred the RTS aspect of it playing solo, playing with others made the game feel almost like a PvE style Moba than anything else.
The game required a lot of precision team working in order to maintain working strategic positions of enemies using your skills and physical placement (since GW1 didn't have an actual aggro system), such as using your heavies to group enemies up and keep them in one place so your mages could AoE the crap out of them, or creating choke points in the terrain in order to allow your assassins or dervishes to get in behind and reap unholy hell on the enemies.
But GW1 aside, you seem to have never have even heard of games such as TERA or Vindictus, or to a lesser extent Mabinogi, as well as Monster Hunter and the colossal amounts of clones that game has spawned (Vindictus being one of them), to the point of Monster Hunter becoming it's own genre.
There are plenty of companies that make MMOs outside of Hot-Key style WoW clones, you just don't seem to be looking hard enough for them.
Each person might see a rose with a different shade of red, but the fact that we can all agree on is beauty -- that is a miracle.

Tera, hotkey for skills, hidden targeting.
Mabinogi, just really bad but still hotkeys for skills and targeting
Vindictus, inexplicably has targeting even though its peer 2 peer, could have easily been done using hit boxes. But is at least very close. Except it's still highly equipment and level based.
I have played all of them, none come even close to Rakion like combat and progression.

It's typically because they're overly convoluted. A handful of people I know got together to try to do shadowrun recently, and the ruleset was just such a convoluted mess that at when all was said and done, none of us wanted to play anymore. Check somethingawfuls P&P forum, they have active players for most of those games last I checked.

Display-TAN is a TAN-generator integrated into the bank card, including display and Bluetooth
Display-TAN is a Mobile Banking method which is secure and mobile at the same time:
• Display-TAN is secure because the TAN (Transaction Authentication Number) is generated on the bank card - not on the smartphone!
• Display-TAN is mobile in the sense that for Mobile Banking the customer doesn't need more than what he carries anyway: smartphone and bank card.
Moreover, Display-TAN is convenient because Display-TAN requires no typing - just clicking!
Nowadays many financial transactions are executed from the user's smartphone only. But the user's smartphone may be infected by malware. The malware may manipulate transactions because it is able to spy (or abuse) every single one of the user's credentials: password, SMS, secret key, fingerprint, etc.
So the basic idea of Display-TAN is the following: Move out the secret key and the generation of the TAN to the bank card! This way, malware on the smartphone will not be able to manipulate transactions.
And why display and Bluetooth?
Hardware. The main element of the Display-TAN method is a bank card which has a display and a Bluetooth module - and nevertheless is thin, flexible, robust and durable like a usual bank card.
Security. The security of Display-TAN comes from the fact that everything security-critical takes place on the secure card (not on a potentially insecure end device like PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone): (1) The storage of the secret key, (2) the tamper-proof re-visualization of the payment data, and (3) the generation of the TAN. The Bluetooth connection is fully encrypted.
Usability. The bank customer does not need an extra TAN-generator device. This is especially useful in the case of Mobile Banking because the customer does not need anything more than what he carries anyway: smartphone and bank card. Moreover, the bank customer does not need to type anything - just checking and clicking is enough. Even long account numbers like IBAN can be confirmed conveniently with a few clicks.
Online Payment. With the rise of Sofort, Trustly, etc., more and more Internet payments are nowadays executed as money transfers. This way, Display-TAN automatically becomes an Internet Payment method. Display-TAN is much more secure than PayPal or credit cards but nevertheless is of nearly comparable usability (no extra device, no typing besides username/password).
No Pairing. There is no pairing with the smartphone. This is possible because all the security is done completely on the card, not on the smartphone. This way, the customer is not bound to a specific mobile device, i.e. he is able to use several mobile devices alternatingly for Mobile Banking, and may add a new one at any time.
Form. Thin and flexible like a usual bank card (ISO/IEC 7810).
Lifetime. 5 years and 2000 money transfers.
Durability. The card producer has for its display cards a proven ≤ 1% failure rate over the whole card lifetime.
Availability. Technically ready (Bluetooth certification is pending).
Mobile Banking. The new method is shown in the video above, and is in the image below shown from a user's perspective for Mobile Banking - for which is Display-TAN is suited especially well.
Note that the bank customer does not have to type anything during TAN generation - just checking and clicking is enough.
For more workflows like Online Banking and Payment see the Workflow page.
Display-TAN is the first and only Mobile Banking method which is trojan-secure and mobile!
For the same reasons, Display-TAN is the only Mobile Banking method which is at the same time mobile and secure against friendly fraud.
The new European IBAN destination bank account numbers can conveniently be confirmed with 3 or 4 clicks by the bank customer, line per line, see example to the right and the IBAN page.
For more details concerning the Display-TAN method see the More Information page, covering topics like Security, Usability, Integration of Display-TAN into the bank card, Buttons on the Card, Display-TAN as a successor of NFC-TAN, TAN-generating algorithm.
For a comparison of Display-TAN with Smartphone-TAN (= App-TAN) in terms of security/usability/costs see this extra page.
Basically, all smartphone and tablet models since 2013 do have the necessary Bluetooth version Bluetooth Smart also called Bluetooth Low Energy BLE: iPhone 4s or higher, iPad 3 or higher, Android 4.3 or higher. Many PC's and most Laptops have BLE ability, so they may contact the Display-TAN card directly.
iPhone/iPads. The main reason to prefer Bluetooth (BLE) over NFC is that this way also iPhones and iPads are reached.
Stability. Bluetooth is much more convenient and stable concerning the card handling than NFC: With NFC the card has to be hold adjacent to the smartphone, while with Bluetooth the distance may be up to a meter, and moving the card or the smartphone is no problem.
Security. All data sent via Bluetooth to the card are encrypted by the bank server with the individual secret key of the card, i.e. sniffing or manipulating is not possible.

I have an upper respiratory infection and sinus infection... again. I caught it from work. Something was going around and I was one of the last ones to catch it. And of course I gave it to DH. He has to work today but I have the weekend off so I am going relax and just try to feel better. I am working Monday through Friday next week. Then four days the following week because I have an ob/gyn appointment on the 25th to discuss the shot and our plans once the shot is out of my system. I have had some slight mood swings and a lot of anxiety but other than that the shot isn't really causing many side effects. No spotting since February. I have some cramping on and off but not enough to have to take any pain medicine. Working is good for me since it is keeping me busy. I do not have time to think about how sad I am that we do not have a baby or that we still have to wait months to ttc again.
Thank you so much Bokkechick for the perfect siggie!!!

I have been exploring recycling (or upcycling) existing materials into new items. For example, I used a toddler size fleece lined vest to make a winter coat for my dog Chester. I've been collecting vintage fabrics and embroideries to recycle them into totes and bags. Any comments or suggestions for interesting recycling projects?
great idea, i use old woolens for quilting and presents
I have been considering the same idea as I cleaned out my closet for winter. Been exploring website and ran across this one; sure there are more.
Thx - have seen somely lovely ideas using felted woolens recycled from sweaters, etc. - enjoyed the link to the wikihow article!

PHP Script - HTML Gen 6965936 by ivee @ CodeCanyon
Script \ PHP Script \ Miscellaneous
HTML Gen is not HTML class in PHP language. It is the command line to generate HTML files from PHP files.
For example: If you are create your document page for customers, you may need it to be HTML file for your customer easily open it from everywhere.
But the HTML itself is just markup language, so you cannot code loop to generate content or cannot include navigation files.
To escape from this problem, you need HTML pre-processor.
If you ever try HTML pre-processor like Jade, Haml, Jekyll you may already know that, those HTML pre-processor installation is not easy.
They are depend on other language/code that needs to install by additional command line and some of them did not provide help that much.
And furthurmore, you need to learn more language from each HTML pre-processor you use.
If you are working on PHP then HTML Gen is very easy for you. You need no more to learn additional language/functions, just code the web page and use command to generate it to HTML files.
- Use PHP command line interface
- Can run on Linux, Windows, Mac
- Generate single HTML file from single PHP file
- Generate multiple files from source folder
- Set name of generated file (single file)
- Set name of generated folder (generate multiple files)
- Automatic replace link from php to html with option to disable auto replace content

Comparative Advantage and Long-Run Growth
We construct a dynamic, two-country model of trade and growth in which endogenous technological progress results from the profit-maximizing behavior of entrepreneurs. We study the role that the external trading environment and that trade and industrial policies play in the determination of long-run growth rates. We find that cross-country differences in efficiency at R&D versus manufacturing (i.e. comparative advantage) bear importantly on the growth effects of economic structure and commercial policies. Our analysis allows for both natural and acquired comparative advantage, and we discuss the primitive determinants of the latter.

Make Ours a Treble
The Croydon Eagles are the Mind in Croydon and Palace for Life Foundation mental health football team. We've just completed our most successful season to date that ended with three trophies as well as hosting our first tournament.
The season began with a trip to Walton-on-Thames to compete in our first competition in the Surrey League we joined this year. Things couldn't have started better in the Surrey Era for us as we put in a battling performance on the way to lifting the Surrey FA Community Cup. A brilliant achievement by all the squad with Jel Clifford bagging the winning goal in the final to win it for us.
We had set our stall out and let the rest of the Surrey League know we had arrived. This was our debut season and we were made extremely welcome, there was a really friendly atmosphere on the day and we were roundly applauded for our win – a gesture we really appreciated. Palace even arranged a victory parade with our trophy at Selhurst Park during the Leicester City Premier League match.
We then began our league campaign; all the guys were looking forward to seeing what the league had in store for us. We started strongly beating the reigning Champions Kingston and things just got better as we surged onwards. After winning our first five matches everyone was beginning to feel optimistic about our chances of actually winning the league at the first attempt. That optimism proved well founded as we went on to win all our games and make it a league and cup double. For our player coach Paul Richards this was his first season in the role and you would have to say a near perfect start. Paul also ended up as top scorer and Players Player of the Season while Will Castle was voted Most Improved Player to go alongside his award from Surrey FA for most sporting member of the league. We would like to say a massive thanks to all at the Surrey League for making us so welcome
We ended our brilliant season with perhaps our best achievement yet. For the second year we travelled down to the National Mental Health Football Therapy Tournament in Lewes with high hopes. All our team contributed to a monumental effort and despite losing our first game to Everton we then went unbeaten for the rest of the tournament coming up against Everton once again in the final who this time we beat 1-0 to lift the trophy, Tony Thompson netting the winner. The whole team raised their game and played brilliantly. Everton were billed as pre-tournament favourites as one of the best mental health teams in the country which tells its own story.
We also hosted our first tournament at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre which was a great success with The Croydon Eagles losing finalists to Brixton. We couldn't be too downhearted though; this season has been an amazing journey for all of the squad. It has lifted everyone's spirits; all of us have seen pretty tough times, experiencing varying mental health issues but the Croydon Eagles and all of the Active Minds activities help massively to improve mental wellbeing.
The football programme is a massive success so well done guys one and all and here's to defending our titles next season.
With special thanks to Peter Rogers (Mind in Croydon), Michael Harrington (Palace for Life Foundation), Paul Richards, James Creegan and everyone who's played for or supported us; played against us; reffed us or organised anything

Review report written by Tim Matthias
Note; Tim received the Croydon Eagles Managers award this season for his long service and dedication to the Eagles cause.
Croydon Eagles Mental Health Team Swoop over Lewes
On 14th May 2014 we had a good turnout for a tournament in a place most of our players had never even heard of, Lewes.
But as it turned out it was an amazing location set in a lovely town in the Sussex Downs. I think our guys were just looking forward to a day out with a bit of football thrown in as a bonus. A lot of us Londoners don't get out to the country too often. After we arrived we were all impressed with the set up and friendly atmosphere. When the lads were told there would be a free lunch things got even better. Everyone waited with anticipation (for the football to start, not the free lunch).
When the matches began it was a very enjoyable and competitive series of games with some very silky skills on show.
The growth in mental health football in the last few years has been brilliant, more and more teams are forming around the country, leagues and tournaments are being organised with many teams being supported by professional and non-league clubs.
Football and other physical activities are crucial in helping people who have had mental health issues, helping them keep fit and be part of something.
Back to the day, our team The Croydon Eagles did really well topping our group and getting into the next round where we played some very competitive but fun games played in the right spirit. The standard of football was very impressive; we came third in our second round group losing to the eventual finalists.
The day was brilliant, everyone enjoyed themselves, a few tempers frayed along the way but that's football and that's why we love it.
So a massive thanks to Lewes FC for a really good day out. It was well organised and fun for everyone involved. We look forward to returning one day

Three weeks into the subaqueous sequel adventure, Finding Dory has already managed to surpass its budget of $200 million, with an astounding $408.4 million. The adventurous sea creatures, Marvin, Nemo and Dory, are living together as nothing more than a loving family, but this continuation brought much more than just corralling a family together.
There's even more to this story, as the movie carries something psychological to Pixar's latest hit; Something that generated its own powerful, engaging messages. Brace yourselves, cause there will be mild spoilers up ahead.
The Mental Abnormalities in the Film
We've known of the strenuous condition Dory has since her first comical appearance in 2003s Finding Nemo. Well, she is back at it, having to overcome the repetitive occurrence. She returns with her silly absent-mindedness that continues to disrupt her every decision. Except now she has to find very important people.
My family! They're out there somewhere - I have to find them! - Dory
This sequel's theme revolves around family, friends and health conditions. Dory has to face her very own issue in order to find her mom and dad, who she had accidentally left behind in her childhood. As the movie proceeds, it flashes back to a younger Dory who's learning various things from her parents, but what she doesn't realize is the added help they are continuously providing in order to help her memory. They try using the simplest objects. Things like shells or color were used as tools to embed in her subconsciousness, hence the reason she's able to familiarize purple shells with her mother.
The context behind the film's mental abnormalities lies heavily on reuniting the characters with loved ones. Its intentions are clear, showing what the protagonist is willing to do or stakes she'd reach in order to find her parents. It displays the strain memory loss can take on an individual. It correlates with certain illnesses, many people are dealing with everyday day, e.g., Alzheimers, retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia. This helps us connect with the character(s), relating things to ourselves or someone in our family who's suffering from a similar disease.
The Physical Abnormalities in the Film
While the story revolves around someone with amnesia, it starts to address the many disadvantages that can plague anyone. For instance, the whale shark Destiny— played by Kaitlin Olson—is nearsighted. She is unable to see a few feet ahead of her, which causes her to run (swim into) many things. Then there's the beluga whale, played by Ty Burrell, who has temporarily lost his echolocation ability due to a concussion. Even Ed O'Neill's character Hank; a red octopus, has lost a tentacle, but with this disadvantage, he shows he's still able to slither, tangle or climb various areas. His ill-tempered attitude blinds his actions, and has him deep into believing he's better off alone somewhere in a container. His side story relied on showing who he can trust. The sea animal he could feel at home with, and Dory was the fish that brought the comfort to him.
There were many more characters willing to face their obstacles. The context within the film's use of physical abnormalities has them at their lows, before granting us with their highs. Some have triumphed over their temporary issue, while others built ways to get through its difficulties.
There have been many success stories of people who've dealt with disorders such as, depression, anxiety or even visual disabilities. The latter being those who were able to find ways to see more clearly, whether it's wearing contacts or sporting glasses. Even those who have gone into the LASIK treatment option for eye care. They have all stood against the issues, overcoming them, and were finally able to feel more like themselves again. That's part of the many messages that played a fragment in this visual escaping underwater world.
Pixar Shows Us How to Overcome Our Disadvantages
After all of the strenuous ventures that partook in this movie, it brought the characters together, displaying how they're dealing with what used to overburden them. They are happy. It's certainly a "happy ending". It shows the viewers (us) a sense of winning. With its vibrant color scheme, it further displays its happiness. This is the bliss we should stride for, and the thing we should never let be shunned again. So go in and find your message. Let them be your "Easter Eggs" of this non-Superhero film. I hope they are as gripping as those I've found. Don't forget to tell everyone, so they can experience this amazing sequel while it's still in theaters.

When you synchronize your Exchange mailbox to an Offline Folder file (.ost), the Outlook status bar never shows higher than 3.99 GB when a folder is being updated. For example, you may see the following text in the status bar when your Inbox folder is being synchronized with Exchange.
If the status bar indicates a value less than 3.99 GB and you either switch away to another folder or you exit and restart Outlook, the status bar may go back to displaying the above text when you return to the same folder.
If you then allow the synchronization process to fully synchronize the folder, the status bar may eventually indicate the following text.
Updating Inbox 3.99 GB
If the status bar indicates a value less than 3.99 GB and you either switch away to another folder or you exit and restart Outlook, the status bar may go back to displaying the above text when you return to the same folder.
If you then allow the synchronization process to fully synchronize the folder, the status bar may eventually indicate the following text.
Updating Inbox (1 B).
The value shown in the status bar has an upper limit of 3.99 GB, so this problem occurs when the size of the folder being synchronized is above 4 GB.
To resolve this problem you have several options.
- Do nothing
Since this problem only occurs during the initial synchronization of the .ost file, if you wait for the synchronization to fully finish, the problem should eventually go away.
If you elect to do nothing, the time to fully synchronize a large folder may take longer than anticipated. If the time to synchronize the large folder is taking longer than desired or if it never fully synchronizes, please consider using one of the following two methods.
- Reduce the size of the folder contents
Another option is to reduce the size of larger folders by either archiving items or moving them to other (smaller) folders in your mailbox. The best way to clean up your mailbox in this situation is to use either an Online mode profile, Outlook Web Access (OWA), or Outlook Web App (OWA) to reduce the size of a folder.
You can use the following steps to determine the size of a folder in your Exchange mailbox.
- Right-click the folder in the Navigation Pane and then click Properties.
- On the General tab, click Folder Size.
- In the Folder Size dialog box, select the Server Data tab.
The size of the folder is shown as well as the size of any subfolders.
- Create a synchronization filter for large folders at or near 4 GB
You can instead create a synchronization folder that limits the number of items that are synchronized from your Exchange mailbox to the .ost file. The criteria used for the synchronization folder should be written to ensure the amount of data to synchronize is less than 4 GB. For example, the following steps show how to create a synchronization filter that causes Outlook to only synchronize items received in the last six months.
- Right-click the folder in the Navigation Pane and then click Properties.
- On the Sychronization tab, click Filter.
- On the Advanced tab of the Filter dialog box, click Field, point to Date/Time fields and then click Received.
- In the Condition box, select on or after.
- In the Value box, enter 6 months ago.
The following figure shows the example criteria in the Filter dialog box.
Note You can use other descriptive text in the Value box for your criteria. For example, you can use 1 year ago to filter on mail that was received within the past year.
- Click Add to List, and then click OK.
- Note the information provided in the prompt advising you what events will take place with the filter applied to the folder, and then click OK (The screen shot for this step is listed below).
- Click OK in the Properties dialog box for the folder.
- Any new or modified items will be synchronized with the folder.
- All items matching the filter criteria will be synchronized to the folder in the .ost file.
- Any items in the folder that do not meet the synchronization filter criteria will be removed from the .ost file (they will, however, remain in your mailbox on the Exchange server).
More Information
This problem should only occur on the initial synchronization of a folder that is larger than 4 GB. If the folder size is initially lower than 4 GB but then grows to above 4 GB over time, you will not see this problem through normal folder synchronization. The status bar indicates the amount of data being currently synchronized to the folder, so for existing folders above 4 GB, the incremental changes will be relatively small in day-to-day use.

The events of 9/11 created dramatic changes in the lives of peoples all across the globe. A new term widely used TERRORISTS for Muslims, was spread like a virus. Instead of developing hate and fear, this event and vocabulary got more people to study and read about Islam. It became a blessing in disguise, since more people have started to take to Islam that has become the focus of studies and discussions. Islam reissued, people are reverting to it. Now on one hand Muslims, themselves are now reading Real teachings of Quran and learning about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) guidance to know the basics of religion. They want to know about real Islam which is a very positive thing to do as this is the only way to learn about any faith or religion. Unfortunately majority of Muslims specially new generations born in and raised in the West were unaware about the original Islamic studies, so 9/11 and criticism of media compelled them to go back to the origin; now they are well aware of it and found that Islam has been misinterpreted and misrepresented, twisted the belief around to fit their own needs by some individuals and groups. Thereafter people are getting closer to real Islam,

To wallpaper, or not to wallpaper...that is the question! I know that most of you wince at the idea of paying money for wallpaper, or even paying money to willingly put wallpaper up on your walls. I'm here to try to shift your perception that wallpaper is dated and only belongs in your grandma's house. Wallpaper is definitely making a strong comeback, but not quite like it used to be in the past. The internet and other great websites like, Apartment Therapy help demystify some of the scariness in removing wallpaper. In addition to great "how to remove wallpaper guides" online, wallpaper is no longer limited to the drab, dark colors and patterns that screamed I'm from the 70's. Wallpaper is so cool and fabulous, that you might be caught thinking that brick or wooden wallpaper is the real deal! Lets take a look at how the gorgeous wallpaper trend is a blast from the past, but in a great way.
Roll It Onto The Walls - Adding Subtle Or Faux Texture To Your Walls
Wallpaper is being used differently then it was back in the days of the dreaded wallpaper. Now there are varying wallpaper options that come in subtle textures, or faux texture through brick wallpaper or wooden wall facade wallpapers that will look so real, it will leave your guests rubbing your walls more than you would like!
Be Bold With Your Geometric Wallpaper Selections, It's Only Paper!
Interior designers are incorporating wallpaper into their designs with more frequency. Although they aren't covering every wall in your home like they once did, they're being strategically placed by incorporating big patterns in smaller spaces. Some of our designer's favorite rooms to use wallpaper in are powder rooms and dining rooms, because they can be used on a smaller scale but make a bigger statement.
Shine On - Metallic Wallpapers That Will Make You Wild!
Mixing metals is a huge interior design trend. IMHO (in my humble opinion), this is a "trend" that is not going out of style anytime soon. One way to add a wonderful layer of depth and extra shine to your interior design is through metallic colored wallpapers. If you have a small space or live in a darker region of the country, the metallic wallpapers will help reflect daylight and sunshine throughout your home in a warming way.
Corks Are Not Only For Wine, But For Your Wallpaper Too!
Cork wallpaper, even veneer wood wallpapers are showstoppers! Although these wallpapers tend to be more expensive, they are definitely worth the investment. You can see the warming and comforting touch this cork wallpaper has in this Florida beach condo.
For The Bolder Folks - Enhance Your At-Home Bar Cart With Wacky Wallpaper
I am crushing on this fabulously chic and laid back Hollywood home that features a fun wallpaper. Is it too bold or spot on for your interior design taste buds?
Stay tuned, because GHID has started a new blog series called Wall covering Wednesday. In the coming weeks, we are going to be showing off our favorite wall treatments. If you have any recommendations, don't hesitate to share with us.

In 1976, when Linda Ronstadt included three songs by an unknown songwriter on her smash album Hasten Down the Wind, the industry was abuzz over the name: Karla Bonoff. Several solo albums followed, but Bonoff soon disappeared from recording and was largely inactive until recent touring, with a band featuring the fantastic guitarist Nina Gerber.

What Leaders Say About Mark
I can't express enough how moved I was by your presentation. Consider my mind blown. When I'm having a rough day I would love to think of how you got us back in the right place. In admiration of you my friend!
John Quigley, Director, Institutional Sales, Shire
Your presentation was fantastic and was quite well received based on the feedback I have been receiving. Thank you also for taking the time to join us and our attendees at our reception--I know they enjoyed connecting with you in a casual setting. Thanks again!
Tricia Maslov, Managing Director, KPMG Executive Education
It's been terrific to have you with us, you found the topics, the images and stories, and the very words that we needed to hear from an outsider, all this in a warm and very inspiring way. I found the participation and engagement very high during your speech, and everyone was so complimentary after. We are now gathering specific feedback from all participants on each segment. As soon as available, we will email it to you and get in touch. Again my personal thanks for your contributions.
Olivier Chapelle, CEO, Recticel
Thanks for supporting us...participant feedback is really strong. I really appreciate your message. It was the right one and well received. Feedback was great and set the tone for the balance of the conference. I look forward to catching up soon.
John Stankey; CEO, AT&T Entertainment Group, AT&T Services Inc.
I just wanted to say thanks for your great work in Costa Rica and also for meeting our colleague in Singapore.

Thank you. It was really truly remarkable.

Please let me know your ideas.

Nigeria's economic diversification drive may inch towards realisation soon, with plan by Federal Government to export one million tonnes of cassava chips to China, beginning from this month.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adeshina made this disclosure in Umuahia, Abia State, on Wednesday, during the inauguration of the Growth Enhancement Support (GES) scheme, a critical component of the Agricultural Transformation Agenda. The scheme was scripted as an innovative approach to fertiliser subsidy administration through an electronic system, which ensures that only registered farmers' benefit."Nigeria will earn $136 million just this year as a result of this exportation and this is happening for the first time in our history", Adeshina said.
He added: "We must use cassava to create a whole lot of things and that is why we must double our efforts on cassava cultivation in this country. Meanwhile, participants at a workshop on the processing of cassava grit for poultry farmers in Nigeria have given assurance that processors have the capacity to meet local and international demands for the product. cross-section of the participants said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria that the price of the product per tonne would also drop drastically from N50, 000 to about N26, 000.
Mr. Philip Ajomiwe, who was the facilitator of the one-day workshop, held at his processing plant in Oriendu near Umuahia, said that cassava farmers and processors would produce enough to meet the need of poultry farmers. Ajomiwe, who is a cassava grower and processor, said that farmers and processors would intensify efforts to meet the Chinese demand for 2,000 metric tonnes of dry chips.
He explained that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture recently organised a training workshop at Enugu for farmers and processors in the South-East, where they were tutoredon modern techniques of cassava processing. ''This is just one part of many initiatives by the minister to drive President Goodluck Jonathan's agricultural transformation agenda through the value chain approach,'' Ajomiwe said.
He explained that the workshop, which was organised at the instance of the agriculture ministry, had 10 participants (trainer trainees), who were expected to train other processors and prospective ones in their respective areas. He said that the participants were taken round different processes, beginning from weighing 200 kg of cassava tubers to the grating and mechanical drying to produce 100 kg finished grit. ''

It probably won't hurt it any more than it already has (really hard to say without studying your full credit report) but if you do pay a reduced amount it will show as "paid for less than full amount" on your credit report for 7 & 1/2 years from the date it is paid off, but it will be a closed collection account, which is slightly better than an open collection account. Try to negotiate with the creditors to pay off the accounts, but only if they agree IN WRITING to remove the accounts from your credit report once they are paid. If you continue to pay monthly and pay the full amount, the accounts will still be on your credit report for 7 & 1/2 years from date paid, but it will show as paid in full, which is slightly better. Sorry there is no easy answer. To better understand how your credit score is calculated, I suggest you visit www.myfico.com. Best of luck!

(Flag print shorts Unif @ Nasty Gal, shredded top DIY)
I spent the whole fourth of july weekend in Malibu with my friends. No computer and no cell phone service. I feel so out of the blogging world and trying to catch up on my ever-growing pile of emails. Here's a mega collage of images from my weekend! Watched the most amazing private fireworks show from my friends house on the beach. All in all I can't complain. My weekend outfits consisted solely of bikinis, tank tops and jean shorts. Love these flag pring shorts thanks to Nasty Gal, Isabel Marant inspired mesh top that I got from H&M; and bought in multiple colors, pale mint green shorts from F21 and the shredded black top i made myself. Also same with the bathing suit. It was a plain black bathing suit and I bought lace and wooden beads and decorated it myself :)
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!!

With the stress that everyone is experiencing in today's world, I felt that it would be appropriate to bring some relief to those who would be willing to practice some of the points that will be made in this article. Stress management is a term that is more often misunderstood and sometimes even feared by some than appreciated and practiced by most. Unfortunately, in our society, we are of the belief that we can change anything that we don't like (and do it instantly to boot). Hamburgers can be served within a period of seconds; we can take a pill to cure a headache or depression – all of which can be accomplished with very little effort.
Did I say 'unfortunately'? Many of those accomplishments and many other "instant" type accommodations that we can look to are fine, and in some cases, a godsend. However, we have not been taught or even exposed to the fact that our minds and bodies have built-in mechanisms that few of us are aware that can help us with the effects of stress in our lives. THAT'S RIGHT … BUILT IN. How we think, how we breathe, how we perceived our lives and the circumstances that befall us – all of these are mechanisms that we can use in order to minimize the effects of stress on our lives. This does not necessarily mean that we can change the situations or people who might be creating the stress but we can control ourselves and our lives.
Let's try a brief relaxation exercise right now. After reading this paragraph, stop reading and follow the following instructions. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing for about one minute. Simply get the 'feeing' of your breathing which many of us take for granted. Now try to slow your breathing down to a comfortable level. This might mean that you will be breathing less frequently and more deeply than you had been. Be sure that you feel comfortable and continue to focus on your breathing
Now, let's talk about what happened. When we slow our breathing down, se diminish our RESPIRATION RATE or the amount of oxygen that we take into our lungs, our HEART RATE and, over an extended period of time our METABOLIC RATE (which is why we're not as hungry while we're sleeping. Essentially, you did all of this just by controlling your breathing for just a few minutes. Now, let's assume that something happened just prior to or just after you practiced that exercise and that you were accustomed to practicing the exercise on a regular and consistent basis. In effect you would be better able to handle whatever the stressful incident was as a result and that could work for you every time. Even if you were not accustomed to practicing the exercise, doing so after a stressful even would help you to better cope with and handle whatever the circumstances were that prevailed in the heat of the stress involved.
Now, let's try another relaxation method. Think for a moment as to where in your body that you tend to become the most tense whenever something happens that results in your feeling the tension that stress brings along with it. Maybe there are two or three areas of your body that you can identify. O.K. Now, just simply tense those identified areas without creating any pain and let go of that tension. You need to do this QUICKLY and IMMEDIATELY and not over a period of time. Now, let's determine what you accomplished. First, you identified the area/s that usually become tense and created more tension. Then you LET GO of that tension and experienced an almost immediate sense of relief or RELAXATION that took the place of the tension. Please remember that since everything in life is relative, you really can't identify a sense of relaxation until you can first identify feelings of tension.
Now, who would notice your doing that exercise ten or fifteen times a day for just a few minutes in order to gird yourself with the pattern of tension relief. The more that you are able to practice these methods, the more available the resultant feeling of relaxation will become. It can then be used as a preventive measure or one that can help us to deal with a sudden stressful event (such as a major loss in our stock profile). The effects of major stresses are harmful and can, over time, become drastic steps to "burnout" which is extremely difficult to turn around … and sometimes impossible to turn around.
And so, now you can see that dealing with stress is all in your hands. You can't stop stress from occurring but you can limit the deleterious effects that tend to "do all of us in." there is no better way to manage our lives and the stress that we all experience on a daily basis than to consistently practice and use the relaxation methods described above.

The Boeing Company said on Monday that it had kicked off its 7E7 jet, its first new airplane in more than a decade, after receiving an order from Japan's All Nippon Airways for 50 planes.
The order from All Nippon Airways was the largest in Boeing's history, the company said, which estimated the deal at $6 billion, based on the jet's list price. But as the first customer for the medium-range airplane, nicknamed the Dreamliner, analysts said that All Nippon most likely received a significant discount.
Once production begins later this decade, Boeing could be expected to build the Dreamliner for 20 years. Ultimately, Boeing wants to capture half the market for mid-range aircraft. It estimated the total market for such aircraft at 3,500 airplanes with a potential value of $400 billion.
Boeing decided to go ahead with the new aircraft, despite the size of the single order -- it was half the number that companies typically have had in hand when they begin production, said Robert W. Mann Jr., an aviation consultant based in Port Washington, N.Y.
Companies have usually waited to finalize families of aircraft until they had about 100 orders from several airlines, he said.Continue reading the main story
Boeing's decision to proceed on one airline's order illustrated how important the Dreamliner has become for the company, whose reputation has been battered by a scandal surrounding a $24 billion tanker deal with the Pentagon and the departure last year of its chief executive, Philip M. Condit.
Airbus, the European aircraft company, passed Boeing in 2003 to become the world's largest commercial aircraft maker.
''It's absolutely critical for Boeing to maintain momentum,'' said Charles Hill, a business professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. ''The impression is that Airbus has taken the lead, and it's put things squarely in Boeing's lap.''
In announcing the deal, Alan Mulally, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said on Monday that interest in the plane had been ''extraordinary.'' In a statement, Mr. Mulally said that Boeing expected to receive additional orders soon. Several carriers, including Japan Air Lines and Emirates Air, have expressed an interest.
Boeing's board gave the go-ahead in December to begin marketing the 7E7, its first jet since the Boeing 777 in 1990. The move came only days after Mr. Condit was succeeded by Harry C. Stonecipher, a company director, who came out of retirement.
The 7E7 is expected to be 10 percent to 20 percent more fuel efficient than similar sized aircraft, in part because it will be made from composite materials rather than aluminum.
With a distinctly curving roof and sloped nose, the 7E7 will seat 200 to 300 passengers and will replace the 757, which Boeing will discontinue this year.
In the last 10 years, Boeing had unsuccessfully marketed two other jets -- the 747X, a stretch version of its 747 jumbo jet, and the Sonic Cruiser, a supersonic plane.
Given its failure to market those planes, ''they really need to go'' with the Dreamliner, Mr. Mann said. Its main competition is the Airbus A330, which is already in use by several carriers, including Northwest Airlines.
Boeing has aimed the Dreamliner primarily at customers in Asia, particularly Japan, where three suppliers are participating in its construction. They include Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries.
The Dreamliner will be assembled outside Seattle, Boeing's former home base, from components produced in Japan, Italy, the United States and elsewhere.
All Nippon Airways will use the 7E7 to replace an aging medium-body fleet of 54 Boeing 767's and seven Airbus A321's. The company's oldest 767's will be 21 years old by 2008, when it plans to take delivery of the first 7E7's.
All Nippon Airways will buy two versions of the 7E7. One is a single-class, 300-seat version for routes within Japan and to nearby Asian cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The other is a two-class plane with 230 seats for international routes like those to the West Coast of the United States.
''We wanted the best aircraft and the most efficient aircraft, and 7E7 met all our requirements,'' Robert Henderson, a spokesman for All Nippon Airways, said in Tokyo.
All Nippon has not decided what kind of engines will power its 7E7's. Boeing said earlier this month that it had chosen General Electric and Rolls-Royce to supply engines for the jet, and All Nippon will now decide which manufacturer to use.
Boeing plans to announce its first-quarter results on Wednesday. Last week, it said it expected to ''significantly exceed'' analysts' forecasts because of strong results across its business units. Professor Hill said that that projection, plus the All Nippon deal, might mean Boeing is on an upswing.
''It's more of a gut feeling than anything, but I think they are turning the corner,'' he said.Continue reading the main story

One of the most important practices we teach in our Deeper Love Work is the practice of appreciation.
Often times we have a tendency to focus on what is not working in the relationship, and of course … what you focus on is what you will experience. When you consciously focus on that which you appreciate in your partner, that is what you will experience, more and more.
We suggest to make it a practice to say five appreciation each day. Of course when you begin to feel the effect you will want to do it more.
In my own marriage this practice has brought a flavor of celebration to our everyday living together. I am in deep gratitude to Guy and Kathleen Hendricks who inspired us, seeing them together opened my vision of what is possible.
Ready to commit? Five Appreciations a day, to your partner, your children, your co-workers, or why not to yourself?
If you take the time to watch the wonderful short film below, you will be inspired I promise you.
I appreciate so much that you took the time to listen to me!
Ps: our next Deeper Love Retreat is in Hawaii, join us if you can.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk980jV7Ao]
