The away team has returned to their ship and are reporting to the captain. They begin to connect the glow from the planet with what has been found there…
Kiota dumped his bag of stone chips on the counter in front of Captain Smith expecting to see the dull pastel stones he'd put in the bag
"What the…! Where did those come from?" he stammered. The other two men dumped their sacks in separate piles and stood mute before the dull shine of ruby, emerald and sapphire chips.
"Where did you find these stones?" Smith demanded.
"Right where we landed, Sir!" Brasker found his tongue and stepped back to the counter. He picked up a fist-sized emerald. Uncut, it still gave off a soft green glow in the brightly lit ship's lab. "These were common stones down there! We chipped them off big outcroppings. Do you suppose ALL those rocks are gems? Why didn't they shine like this on the planet!"
Dobrowski looked from the stones to the observation window beside him. The little planet below shimmered in the odd halo they'd wondered about before. "That's not common light," Dobrowski whispered. "That's the reflection of one damned big precious rock!"
"But why couldn't we see it down there?" Brasker scratched his head. "I gotta think about this, sir. Could we discuss this after supper?"
Smith motioned the men out of the lab while putting a stone under the microscope. "To their backs he ordered, "Not one word of this, do you read me?"
"Yes, sir!" came from all three as they headed for ship's quarters.
Kiota palmed his keypad and entered the small cabin he shared with three other junior officers. He was still stunned as he turned over in his mind the events of the past few days. Why couldn't they see the gemstone? What masked its real properties? Alone in the quarters, he dropped down on the bunk, hands clasped behind his head. In the corner on a small altar stood a statue of his family's god, its sapphire eyes remote and mindless.

The Leaving Certificate exams will begin four weeks from today and, for the final month, students should come up with an updated study plan.
Some students may now be regretting not getting into a good study routine earlier. If this is the case, it is time to let go of these regrets. It is impossible to change the past, so focus on what is possible to achieve in the next four weeks, and a lot can be achieved.
Get started. Accept that you may not cover the whole course between now and the exams. However, every 20 minutes spent revising could mean earning an extra couple of percentages on the day, so every 20 minutes spent revising is worthwhile.
Here are some guidelines:
1) Begin a good routine. As much as possible study in the same location every day. It is better that this is somewhere at home rather than in a library or school to which you may not always have access, but this is not always possible in busy households. Keep this space tidy and clutter free. Make it an appealing space to return to, as, when we are weary of revising, we all naturally look for reasons not to begin.
2) Know what you want to achieve. Keep lists of topics or items that you need to cover, in order of priority. It can be hugely motivating to tick off each item and it is easy to see what is being achieved as the list gets shorter and shorter.
3) At the end of each study session decide what will be studied during the next session. This will save time and allow students to make the most their study time. It will also help students get started when motivation is low.
4) Judge your revision on what you want to achieve, not how many hours are spent at the desk. Revision is not about the amount of time put in, but how productive that time was. There is really no point spending three hours at a desk if most of that time was spent daydreaming or texting. Study is about getting the maximum amount learned in the minimum amount of time. Before you begin, set down your task: for example: 'I want to learn three quotes in the next 20 minutes' not 'I will study English for 20 mins.'
5) Test yourself. Once your task is achieved, test yourself. This way you are not only reinforcing the learning but can leave the study session knowing that it was worthwhile, you now know something more than when you began and potentially have achieved an extra couple of marks.
6) Daydreaming is a common complaint from students who find it difficult to revise. However, it is important to push through this distraction and not give up and say 'I can't do it'. Minimise the distractions you have control over such as phones, alerts and internet. If your mind does begin to wander, acknowledge it and return to the task without chastising yourself. Students may find it helpful to put a little tick on a 'post it' each time it happens. Remember it happens to everyone, but it is important to carry on.

Co-Directors of Undergraduate Studies: Patrick Heller, Carrie Spearin
Concentration Advisors: Patrick Heller, Margot Jackson, Michael Kennedy, Carrie Spearin, Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve
Sociology has a 2-tier advising structure.
1) The first point of contact is with the faculty. If you have an interest in sociology you should contact and meet with any member of the department. Ideally, you should choose someone whose work, areas of teaching and research you find of most interest. All faculty who are in residence hold office hours. The faculty can review with you what sociology is, what sort of careers it leads to, help you make a decision about concentrating in sociology or simply which classes you should take given your interests. All of the faculty are also available as capstone or thesis advisors.
2) If you decide you are interested in concentrating in sociology, you should go to office hours or make an appointment to meet with one of the undergraduate advisors, Patrick Heller, Timmons Roberts, or Carrie Spearin. The undergraduate advisors can go over requirements and discuss your course of studies in sociology. Undergraduate advisors can also advise you on transfer credits and can approve petitions to have courses outside of sociology count for the concentration. If you are interested in the Social Analysis and Research concentration, you should consult make an appointment with Carrie Spearin.

Many consider this the best hard-core trail in Colorado, replete with stunning scenery, historical points of interest and thrilling obstacles. Heavy traffic on weekends oftens means waiting a while at obstacles like French Creek. Cleveland Rock is very extreme. I wouldn't ride my ATV on this trail, but some people try. A real leg-breaker.

Finally a race here in Florida! No more getting up at 3 am to catch several flights to other states. We could relax, have a leisurely breakfast, and then drive 6 or so hours down the interstate to the coastal town of Venice, where we spent the weekend so I could do a 24 hour trail race in Englewood Beach, about 30 minutes to the south. I was a bit apprehensive about doing a trail race, especially during the overnight hours, but Justin the race director assured me that there were very few impediments on the trail, perhaps a few errant pine cones, but no single-track and no major roots or rocks.
Justin was right. The 3.3 mile trail was mostly crushed shells and dirt covered with pine needles and it was very flat (no surprise here in south Florida). There were two wooden bridges that turned out to be my favorite part of the race because I didn't have to watch my footing at all. Otherwise, I did keep my eyes peeled to the ground because there were a few – just a few – roots and an occasional rock and I wanted to memorize where they were during the daylight hours so I could avoid them at night.
We drove down on Friday morning, stopping only for a snack halfway, and checked into our hotel, a new Fairfield Inn in Venice. The host hotel was located much closer to the course and offered a good rate for runners but we wanted a name-brand hotel just in case there might be cable problems. Darcy planned to watch football, including the Florida-Georgia game, while I was racing and no cable would be a major disaster. After checking in, we drove to the race site at Ann Dever Park, just past the Humane Society. I tried to convince Darcy to let us look for a puppy to adopt after the race but he just grimaced and shook his head despairingly.
There were other race options than the 24 hour and for a while I toyed with the idea of dropping to the 12 hour day race so I could avoid the trail at night. But I remained stalwart and stuck with the 24 hour, figuring I could always just rest a little during the darkest part of the night. Racers who completed at least 6 laps in the 6 hour, 12 laps in the 12 hour, or 19 laps (100k) in the 24 hour would get a 34 ounce glass beer mug in addition to a medal. My quest was on to do at least 19 laps and maybe one more if I could manage it.
We started at 9 am but because we turned the clocks back on Sunday morning, we ended at 8 am (it was still 24 hours though!). The course winds around the huge parking lot, by a covered pavilion where the official aid station was set up, alongside indoor restrooms (yea!), around a small lake, and then onto the actual trail where we followed a counterclockwise loop or two, backtracking to the pavilion and out again. The race was chip timed with a verbal backup system and there was an additional self-service aid station at the halfway point on the course that had water, electrolytes, sunscreen, and Vaseline. People could set up tents or drop bags on the pavilion benches or by their cars in the parking lot. It was an excellent set-up for a race.
My friends Joyce and Ray were there and I got to do several laps with Joyce. I also met and walked with several other interesting runners, including Bill (Slow Twin), race walker Scott (who has an ultramarathon podcast), and Lynn, a Facebook friend. The other runners were friendly and welcoming. I am sure there were lots of animals hiding in the trees that lined the course but the only wildlife I actually saw were several huge turtles and a couple of black snakes.
The aid station had plenty of food, sweet and salty and filling, including burritos from Moe's and candy corn (which I developed a definite hankering for). During the evening hours, Darcy brought me hot coffee and an egg McMuffin and I drank several bottles of seltzer, brought from home because I realized I have a decided hankering for carbonated beverages but can't stomach soda, diet or otherwise.
The trail is pitch black at night so it is crucial to have a handheld light of some sort. I had brought two flashlights, extra batteries, and two headlamps so I was prepared. Even so, at one point I found myself startled to bang up against the retaining wall on one of the bridges. I must have fallen completely asleep for a few seconds (or longer) and sleepwalked into the side of the bridge. Now that had never happened to me before!
Another first for me, again due to the darkness, was completely missing the entry point to the trail not once but at least 4 times! The first time, Ray saw me wandering back into the parking lot and pavilion area and turned me around and set me back on track. I tried hard to pay attention every time after that but I still managed to miss the turn several times. I simply could not see the small orange flags planted in the ground that led the way to the trail and there was no arrow or light to point out the trailhead. But those were small concerns and easily fixed.
Fortunately I had brought several changes of trail shoes and socks because my feet did swell and ache quite a bit. By the time I had completed 15 laps I knew those final 4 would be a struggle. I had plenty of time to finish, but I was weary and wanting the race to be over. The good news – and what really kept me out there for 22 hours or so – was the fact that the weather was warm and pleasant and there were real bathrooms not portapotties. I had no reason to leave until I had completed that 100k. It took me until 6 am to reach that magic number, just about the time that Scott, also aiming for a 100k, also finished. Justin handed me my mug and medal and we posed for a photo which was then swiftly made into a colorful certificate with my name and mileage. I looked a complete disaster in the photo, sweaty and worn out, but it was certainly a neat memento to have.
One thing I would do differently is make sure I covered myself with bug spray. I was oblivious to getting bitten during the race but I discovered soon afterwards that dozens of gnats had attacked my arms and legs. I had itchy bites that drove me crazy until I got some strong hydrocortisone cream to smooth on the bites.
This race is definitely recommended for walkers, especially for those who are hesitant to do trails. I would suggest the 12 hour daytime race as a good option and one I am considering for next year (unless I change my mind and try the 24 hour again).

Some of the archetypes I would like to start with a personal story and this is one of them:
We ordered some birthday stuff for my son online at a German football club since he absolutely loves soccer. However after ordering it there was no communication, besides after 4 days an email that things were really busy now and things might be delayed (imagine telling your customer: thanks for your money, now wait for it when we feel like shipping).
After four weeks of no communication we tried a first message on Twitter to their main account. Still deafening silence. After that a second tweet, still no response, then a third tweet reaching out to the social media manager of this club. Finally a response (not s a solution though) and he provided us with the details of somebody who could help us. After a week of more silence all of a sudden the package arrived. Just a bit too late for this birthday, though our son decided anyways to not be a fan of this club, since he prefers a club that cares.
If you are not responding to your customers, literally in this case your fans, you have a bigger issue than just Web care not done right. Since fans are the type of customers that tend to give you recurring revenues and by creating a poor first experience you make sure the next time they won't bother at all and won't spend their money on you. The only reason this case seems to be solved is because of an individual that cares enough to go into the organisation to try to solve things.
In this specific case it was his job to do something with social media, however I guess service was not part of his job description. In many other cases it is somebody who is just passionate about the job he does and thinks that everybody that interacts with the products and services of his company should have a great experience. Those people go beyond their job description and make deep impact for the organisation often outside regular working hours. However it isn't scalable and sustainable so it won't work on the long-term or with high volume.
It might be clear that this approach (by lack of a better word) of Web care doesn't help companies in turning Web care into a profit centre. Even worse the result of this way of working gives people a reason not to buy anything from you, because you don't seem to care after the transaction. Also when you have just one lone wolf (or just a couple) you are running the risk that people are burning up, since they are doing so much stuff besides their day job , that you have to wonder if this is still healthy for them. This unstructured approach turns people away and creates burnouts. Neither of these two items are things you like to happen.
How to make it better
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
It is plain and simple: make sure your service works. This soccer club is lucky to have a guy who is so involved to invest time in solving issues caused by others who don't even care to reply to an email. He is probably one of the unsung heroes, however given that he is just alone he will scale poorly in the end and burn up.
This organisation needs to scale up and make sure there more people just like him and that they become pro active, instead of reactive. By becoming pro active you solve issues sooner in the process, providing the organisations and people with more time for other things, such as the proverbial 'sharpening the axe'. Cherish the Lone wolfs, though more important let them build a pack of wolfs to make it scale. Often the Lone wolf himself is so busy he forgets to do that, so help him with this.
As soon as you have a group of Lone Wolfs most of your Web care issues are over and you'll scale rather nicely while even providing a human face to service, instead of just showing a logo that blast out replies. By doing so, you are once again able to make a real connection with people reaching out to you via social media and by having such a connection you can increase loyalty which in itself could increase revenue in the long run. However the most important thing is that you really start caring about other people, instead of just firefighting.

-Changed Song ID as it was a duplicate of another one of my songs
-Finely tuned the tempo map
-Correct character animation speed
-New autogenerated venue theme
-Audio totally redone for highest quality
Update 6:
-Custom Made Venue!
-Took out half of the beat markers so that the characters do not look ridiculous

The MA/MBA in Theatre is a dual degree program and its curriculum is best conceived that way. The MA in Theatre requires 30 credit hours and is a two-year program. The MBA at the Leeds School of Business requires 55 credit hours and is a two-year program. However, because overlapping coursework is allowed, the MA/MBA dual degree allows students to earn both MA and MBA with a minimum of 67 approved credit hours, in three years. Dual degree students are required to complete 43 hours of MBA coursework and 24 hours of Theatre/Dance coursework.
According to Graduate School guidelines, the MA requires 30 credit hours, 24 of which must be at the 5000 level or above (6 may be at the 3000 or 4000 level but all must be taught by members of the graduate faculty). Not all of these hours are required to be in THDN. Students in the MA/MBA in theatre program will be required to take 24 credits hours in THDN courses (with one MUSC option), all taught by members of CU's graduate faculty, according to the following scheme:
THDN 6009 Research and Teaching Strategies (2 credits)
THTR 5011 Theory and Criticism (3 credits)
or THTR 5010 Introduction to Performance Studies
or DNCE 6047 Seminar in Dance
THTR 5085 Theatre Management (3 credits)
or MUSC 5978 Arts Administration and Management
or DNCE 6056 Professional Development
THTR 4061 Directing (3 credits)
or THTR 6071 Advanced Directing (depending on experience)
Various Electives/Practicums/Independent Studies/Thesis Hours (7 credits)
Select two of the following (3 credit hours each):
THTR 6011 On-Stage Studies: Global Ancient and Classical Theatre
THTR 6021 On-Stage Studies: Shakespeare
THTR 6031 On-Stage Studies: American Theatre
THTR 6041 On-Stage Studies: Global Modern Theatre
THTR 6111 On-Stage Studies: Global Contemporary Theatre
DNCE 5048 Performance and Community Engagement
DNCE 4037 Contemporary Concert Dance
DNCE 5017 Dancing Histories
To achieve the 30 credit hours required for the Theatre MA degree, the Graduate School will allow 6 hours of B (3.0) or better coursework taken in the College of Business to count toward the 30 credit hours required for the MA. Please note that students desiring to write a thesis will use elective hours to take THTR 6959, Thesis Hours and the optional THTR 6849, Independent Study to prepare the thesis prospectus.
Students in the MA/MBA program follow the THTR MA Handbook for the MA portion of the dual degree.
The MBA degree requires 55 credit hours, however MA/MBA students complete 43 credit hours of MBA coursework. The prescribed curriculum is:
MBAC 6001 Foundations of Teamwork (1.5 credits)
MBAC 6002 Social, Moral and Economic Foundations of Business (3 credits)
MBAC 6003 Foundations of Leadership (1.5 credits)

Four Business School Electives - including one Organizational Management Course (12 credits)
To achieve the 55 credit hours required for the MBA degree, the Graduate School will allow 12 hours of B (3.0) or better coursework taken in the Department of Theatre & Dance to count toward the 24 credit hours of Business School Electives required for the MBA.
To link to the page for the Leeds School of Business Dual Degree page click here.
Students should apply first to the Department of Theatre & Dance for the MA degree program.
- Please follow the instructions on this website to apply to the MA degree program in Theatre.
Once accepted into the MA/MBA program, students take a full year of required classes in Theatre & Dance. During the first semester they will apply to the Leeds School of Business MBA degree program. Upon acceptance, they will take a full year of required courses in Leeds. Coursework in the third year will be divided between both degree programs. Please note that acceptance into the Leeds School of Business MBA degree program is not guaranteed.
- Please follow the instructions on the Leeds School of Business Admissions website to apply to the MBA in Business.
Students may apply for both programs simultaneously, in which case:
- Students must apply to and meet the application requirements for each program separately,
- Students must meet the admissions standards for each program separately,
- Dual degree students may start either program first; however, in the first year of the dual degree program, courses are taken in one of the two departments exclusively, and in the second year, courses are taken in the other department exclusively.
Note: residents of Western states, including Alaska and Hawaii, may be eligible for in-state tuition for this dual degree program, provided the student applies to and is accepted to both programs in the same admissions cycle.

Everyone's favorite judge, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, does not disappoint.
Rakoff has been in the headlines since summer, first for telling Bank of America and the SEC he would not accept their proposed settlement and then informing Raj Rajnaratnam and his co-defendants that he would not stay their SEC trial during the pendency of the criminal case.
Rakoff likes his justice swift.
The American Lawyer has a great profile of the judge in their December issue (subscription is required). We suggest everyone rush to their firm library, but here are some fun facts and highlights:
- When Theodore Well and David Boies were appearning in front of him, but on opposite sides (Wells for AIG and Boies for Hank Greenberg), he did not hold back in keeping the two in line. Displeased with their asking questions that sounded more like arguments, he told both, "This is a very strict court, and we will play by the rules and strictly by the rules."
- When, later in the same case, Rakoff learned that a Simpson Thatcher partner had advised an AIG board member but not been questioned, he made sure the parnter testified within days.
- He plays computer bridge in his office.
- When he took the bench in 1996, he had reported assets in the $1 million range; he now reports about $10,000 after putting his daughters through college.
- And, our favorite fact: Rakoff wears the allegedly muscle-toning MBT shoes. He told Am Law he purchased the shoes to help out with some dancing injuries - he and his wife recently took up ballroom dancing.

Hello everybody,
I'm new in this forum and also a newby in vCloud API programming.
I have to maintain a .Net application that uses vCloud SDK for .Net version 5.1. Recently in my organization vCloud Director has been migrated to version 8.20.
Since this migration, the .Net application fails invoking the Login method of vCloudClient class.
It throws a generic .Net Exception with message "One or more error occurred".
The user, the organization, the password and the URL have not been changed after migration.
In VMWare web site I found a newer version of SDK .Net API, the 5.5, but also with this version the errors is still present.
I didn't find exhaustive information on how to proceed to correct this error.
My questions are:
- SDK Api 5.5 for .Net, is not more supported for vCloud Director 8.20?
- If yes, there is a newer version of vCloud SDK for .Net that is compatible with 8.20? Where can I download it?
Many thanks for your attention.

My family all adore chocolate covered strawberries, so we make them several times a year for various functions. Whenever I receive solid chocolate as a gift and can't eat it, I save it to chop up and dunk strawberries in! You may say, how do you have so much chocolate you can't eat it? That's crazy talk! To you I say, would you have eaten the eight pounds of Easter bunnies I received last year?
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Obviously, you're going to need chocolate and strawberries. The quantities leave plenty of room for error - you'll need to find what works for you, based on the size of your strawberries and how thickly you coat them in chocolate. I used about 1.5 pounds of chopped chocolate bunnies to two quarts of strawberries (maybe it was three? I'm pretty sure it was two).
Set up a double boiler - a saucepan with an inch or two of water in the bottom, topped with a bowl that can sit on top without touching the water.
Dump your chopped chocolate in the bowl and bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Constantly stir the chocolate, adjusting the heat as necessary to allow for slow, smooth, even melting. (Tip: Do NOT allow any water to touch the chocolate. This will cause it to seize, and once that happens, it's awfully tough to fix.)
Once the chocolate has melted, dip the strawberries. I find the best way to do this is to grip the stem/leaves and dunk the strawberry. If the chocolate is not deep enough to dunk, lay the strawberry on its side at an angle and rotate it to coat all sides.
Cool the strawberries on cookie sheets covered in waxed paper. I often cool and store mine in the refrigerator so they harden faster. If it's warm and/or humid, you will need to do this, and be very careful transporting them, as they melt and fall apart quickly in this type of weather.
If you want to decorate them further, you can try the following:
-Drizzle with a contrasting melted chocolate (white, dark, colored candy melts)
-Sprinkle with finely chopped contrasting chocolate
-Sprinkle with shots/sprinkles/jimmies (or whatever you call 'em in your neck of the woods!)
-Brush with pearl dust
-Sprinkle with cake glitter
If you have other ideas for fun decorations, please leave them in the comments!

On Monday I had my bending xrays to determine what the plan was for surgery.
First the technician took a really good full-length shot while I was standing and then she called Dr. T and he positioned me while I lay on my back. First I bent as far as possible to the right and she took a couple xrays. Then I bent as far as possible to the left. The doctor made sure that I was really stretched as far as possible. I stretched enough that I was a little stiff the next day.
While he was talking to my husband and I, the doctor marked up the full-length xray with his measurements. My husband took a picture of this and I'll try to add that as an attachment.
First Dr. T marked the vertical mid-line and measured that I was leaning 3.5cm to the left of mid-line. Then he marked and measured each of the curves and finally he looked at each of the bending xrays and measured how much correction I was able to get just by bending. The top curve corrected to 25 degrees, the middle curve (the largest) corrected to 22 degrees! He said this was very encouraging and he should be able to get a lot of correction during surgery.
Then he discussed my options and his recommendation. The big question was how low to fuse. He wants to fuse me only to L4. He can't guarantee that it will last but he thinks it will. The two disks below L4 look to be in pretty good condition so we may be able to save them.
By stopping at L4, I will only need one posterior surgery instead of a longer A/P approach (possibly 2 surgeries) and I will retain some lower back flexibility.
The risk is that if my two remaining lumbar disks rupture in the future (ouch !) then he will have to go in and fuse the rest of my low back, but that may not happen and if it does, the surgery won't be very long.
I like this idea. I was so happy after the appointment. To me less is best.
What kind of discussions have the rest of you had with your doctors about how much to fuse or not to fuse? What did you choose and why?

From an outside perspective we rarely see into the ideologies or mindset of the artists we are inspired by, and aspire to be. One of the main cornerstones of Life's Illusion is to share our artists story. We are all a product of our past, and we believe that stories have the ability to change lives and the fabric of our society. Each design is a look into the mind of another.
From the Mind of Alex Panzer :
This design is based off the concept of balance. In particular, the balance of opposing forces. This concept has been seen since the beginning of time. There is always an equal and opposite reaction to every action you make. This can be seen through the physical representation of the rose where it is distressed and mangled, where in opposition, the shadow is perfect and smooth.

Introducing Palo Santo
Palo santo, also known as Holy Wood, hails from the offshore woods of Ecuador. Our palo santo essential oil is organically grown and sustainably sourced. The farmer we source from replants new palo santo trees to help reduce deforestation. The oil is steamed distilled from the branches and trunks of the Bursera graveolens trees. With a sweet licorice, smoky aroma, palo santo helps soothe panic attacks, uplifts during times of sadness, and calms stressful situations.
Benefits of Palo Santo Essential Oil:
- Calms restless legs
- Anti-inflammatory
- Strong antioxidant
- Anti-fungal
- Encouraging during times of melancholy or grief
- Supports respiratory system, especially helpful with asthma, congestion and coughing
3 Quick Ways to Use Palo Santo Essential Oil
- To combat panic attacks, add 1 drop to a cotton ball and breathe deeply from the diaphragm
- For a tranquil, blissful home, diffuse 2 drops palo santo and 3 drops orange
- Add 3 drops palo santo to a roller on bottle and top with jojoba oil. Roll under nose, neck and wrists when feeling too stressed out or anxious.
Panic Soother Recipe
1 ounce jojoba oil
2 drops palo santo essential oil
2 drops frankincense essential oil
2 drops ylang ylang essential oil
Pour carrier ingredient into a PET plastic or glass container. Add essential oil drops. Cap and shake. Apply under nose, neck and wrists to calm and soothe panic attacks.
Palo santo essential oil is high in limonene making it an easy oil to oxidize and cause skin irritation. Always dilute when using palo santo on the skin. Maximum recommended dilution rate is 15 drops per ounce or 2 tablespoons of carrier oil, like jojoba or coconut oil.
What benefits do you like the most of palo santo essential oil? What ways do you use this oil?

I feel better
Wow, more than 2 months ago, I was a completely different person. The way I feel now and the way I felt then are so opposite, it's hard to put into words.
Since my first post about i-am-a-miserable-basterd, I have come around almost 180 degrees. Only two months ago I would wake up in the morning and say to myself "still alive eh?", kind of hoping that I wouldn't wake up. Only two months ago I didn't care whether I lived or died, whether I'd be around to watch my kids grow up, whether I'd walk my daughter down the aisle.
that's all changed now. oh hell ya I want to be there to walk my daughter down the aisle. yer damn skippy I want to teach my son how to ride a mtb trail. I want to live. That in itself is a revelation. I've said that before, and it's such a simple statement, yet so profound. For so long I've been killing myself and not giving a damn. the apathy that encroaches due to the poison is overwhelming.
so often I bitch about stuff on this blog, I just wanted to put this out there that I am feeling better now. I've surprised myself and it's amazing how much better I feel. 2 months ago, in the early days of going to meetings folks told me, "you'll feel better", "you won't be so apathetic", "the cravings will pass", and of course I didn't believe them b/c I have to see things for myself before I'll believe anything. Well, now that I'm 2 months in and obviously an expert I can see these things that alcohol blinded me to before.
If you're here and you're hurting, just keep at it. Find a way that will work for you. Go to meetings, get a sponsor, hell, comment here or email me. It does get better.
If you're going through hell, just keep going.

To study the Earth's rotation and its variation, i.e. precession, nutation, polar motion (PM) and the length-of-day (LOD), based on modern space geodetic data and geodynamical theory. In these theoretical models, the solid Earth, the oceans, and the atmosphere are treated together as a dynamical system. Such models are able to follow the interaction of the motion of all sub-surface and surface geophysical fluids (the atmosphere, oceans, and hydrological cycle, amongst others); as well as the physical structure of the Earth's interior and the processes at play within. Such models allow for the investigation of variations in the Earth's rotation on various spatial and temporal scales. We also apply these models to other planets.
What we have done, and what we are studying:
The relationship between the Earth's rotation, Solar activity, and natural disasters such as earthquakes have been investigated, and results used to make predictions. For example, a non-linear stochastic excitation model for the Chandler wobble has been proposed.
Other research topics include: the theory of non-rigid Earth rotation, especially nutation; geodynamics; and the physics of the Earth's interior, including differential rotation, coupling between the electro-magnetic field, and nutation. A new nutation model for a non-rigid Earth has been derived, and generalized spherical harmonics (GSH) and their application to theoretical geophysics is also one of our interests. For example, a set of scalar equations of infinitesimal elastic-gravitational motion for the fluid outer core of a rotating, slightly elliptical planet such as the Earth has been derived. This model has also been applied to Mars.
An explicit analytic solution of Poincare's equation for the motion of a rotating, spherical fluid body has been derived. In addition, a new analytic theory for the generation of zonal multiple-jet flows on the basis of the nonlinear interaction of slowly travelling and non-axisymmetric geostrophic waves in Jupiter's atmosphere has been presented.
In order to study planetary dynamics and geodynamics, we have set up a numerical simulation laboratory, in which the most significant resource is a PC cluster. Through carrying out simulations on our cluster with a code written to run on parallel computers, our research continues to make significant strides in progress.

Check the link in my signature re the new way to do a hard reset, (cold boot). It has changed in 4.2 and the thread reflects the change.
Seems like I've had my previous OP closed by a moderator who wan't exactly helpful. If you are going to offer advice then may I suggest that you provide some rather than some vague response and some global decree that the topic is closed.
Not exactly helpful, friendly, constructive or within the spirit of what I have recieved on this site.
And in the hope that this thread is not shut down with no actual guidance I ask once again.
Yes I am very frustraited and upsed with how I was treated with an unhelpful and curt response.
Yesterday my TF300 told me that there was a firmware update to 4.2.1.
I've never had a problem before with any firmware updates until last night.
I updated and all was well. However when I try to do a cold boot by pressing the Down button + Power button I get the choice of a cold boot.
The problem is that when I do a cold boot nothing happens until I press the volume button.
Once I press the volume button,the tablet starts to boot.
I am then presented with an icon of the android robot on its back with a red warning triangle with a "!" exclemation symbol on the warning sign. Nothing else happens until I press the power key.
In a nutshell I can turn my tablet on but I can not cold boot.
have I messed up?

From the Cold Boot link in The Master Help Guide:
Cold Boot (aka Hard Reset) Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off. Press and hold the VOL DOWN and then POWER button at the same time for at least 10-12 seconds until after the start-up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top left of the screen then let them both go. If the TF booted the way it always does, you have not accomplished the task, try again until you have seen the 2 icons, (if you have Jelly Bean there will be 4 icons, the left most being RCK, which is correct), in the screen.
After a few seconds you should see a couple of shapes in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". The right "Android" will have a green highlight fading in and out. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Booting Linux" appears in the list near the top of the screens and let it reboot. If you own a keyboard dock be sure you do this with the dock connected. If you are using JB there will be 4 icons, disregard the 2-4 icons unless instructed and the 1st icon (RCK) will be flashing..
This applies to all TF models, however, if your Prime or Infinity are locked up, there is a reset available using the hole just below the SD Card slot, this is NOT the same as a hard reset.
If your TF is on 4.2 press vol down key to choose the middle Android icon & once you do that press the vol up key, that will start the cold boot process.
A cold boot [AKA hard reset] does not delete any data.

Thank you for your very informative and comprehensive reply.
It is much appreciated.
I'm glad you found us helpful, friendly and constructive.
I am still having problems that result in an icon of the android robot on its back with a ret warning triangle with a exclamation mark in it.
As usual when I press the power button + down volume button I am presented with the icons including RCK. NO matter how long I wait nothing happens.
This time I selected RCK and pressed the up volume button after waiting several minutes. For a second I saw the normal android robot icon updating which was imediately replaced with an android robot on its back.
The only way I can get away fron the dead android with a red warning triangle is to press the power button to turn off and boot in normally.
I would be very grateful for any help or advice.
If I have to do a factory reset and lose all my data then that will have to be.
Try this, instead of selecting RCK:
From the Cold Boot Procedure, available in The Master Help Guide:
If your TF is on 4.2 press vol down key to choose the middle Android icon & once you do that press the vol up key, that will start the cold boot process.

I chose the android icon this time and my tablet booted into action normally. May I ask if I sucessfully completed a cold boot, and is there any way that I can confirm this within the steeings?
Battery shows 17 hours and change.
I'm guessing that I have not done a cold reboot. The power cord was not connected at the time.
I'm only attempting a cold boot as I dimly recall that it helped with past upgrades. Am I on a wild goose chase and even though I can't cold boot, I should not lose any sleep over it?

Cadaver hatched in a graveyard located in the Mud Kingdom, alone. He was found sitting beside a dead MudWing SeaWing hybrid, the hybrid's blood staining his talons and face. A troop of MudWings found him, and alerted the MudWing queen. The queen ordered for her advisers to deal with the seemingly murderous dragonet. The advisers locked Cadaver in a cage and sent him to the Sky Kingdom. They got there and left Cadaver in the cage for months. Then they sold him to two vicious SkyWing SandWing hybrids by the names of Dawn and Dusk. Dawn was less vicious than her twin, and treated Cadaver better than Dusk did.
Seeing as he looked pretty ferocious with all of the hybrid's blood still on him, Dusk, thinking that Cadaver was a monster, chained him up in the darkest place he could find, and muzzled his jaws shut so that he couldn't breathe fire or bite them. Dusk was the leader of a group of semi-crazy SkyWing hybrid who worshipped Ex-Queen Scarlet and her obsession with gladiator fights. They called themselves the Talons of Bloodshed. Dusk forced Cadaver to fight against a few dragons each day for his amusement. Cadaver, not knowing any better, thought that Dusk was raising him normally.
For ten years, Cadaver fought for Dusk's amusement. Dawn, watching from the shadows, knew that the tribrid deserved better, but when she complained about it to her brother, Dusk threatened to rip out her tongue, so Dawn didn't complain, though she hated seeing Cadaver treated the way he was. One day, Dawn snuck into Cadaver's 'quarters' , which was really just a pit in the floor with bars over the top, and undid his chains. They managed to reach the exit, but were caught and brought before Dusk, who ordered Cadaver to be punished in front of him. After they finished, the guards took Cadaver back to his cell, leaving Dawn with Dusk.
Cadaver didn't know what Dusk had done to his semi-adoptive 'mother', but he heard Dawn roaring, and tried to go help her, but the guards dragged him into his cell, and chained him up again. A few days later, Cadaver went to fight as usual. And the last opponent that Dusk put him up against? Dawn. The two fought for several minutes, equally matched. Then Dawn tripped over her tail, which, Cadaver noticed, ended in a ragged stump. Cadaver decided to not kill Dawn, which made Dusk angry. Dawn got up, and Cadaver broke the clamps off of her wings. He noticed that Dawn was wearing a necklace, which he hadn't noticed before. Suddenly, Dusk and Dawn disappeared, merging into an entirely new dragon. Scared, Cadaver back away, from the new dragon. "We are Solarflare, the merging of Dawn and Dusk." the dragon rumbled, its talons curling. Since Solarflare had two personalities in one dragon, one side, probably Dusk, ordered him to fight, while the other, most likely Dawn, told him to not fight anymore, to run.
Cadaver stood there, not sure what to do, and as he watched, Solarflare grabbed the necklace around his neck and tore it off, separating Dawn and Dusk. As Solarflare separated, he or she threw the necklace, which had also separated into two different necklaces in Cadaver's direction. Cadaver caught it, and as he slipped it around his neck, he felt something pulling him in Dawn's direction, or where she used to be, before he blanked out. A few minutes later, Cadaver, or whoever he was now, as he had merged with Dawn, walked out of the base of the Talons of Bloodshed. Once they had escaped and separated, Cadaver asked Dawn who they had merged into. Dawn told him that she had named their merged form 'Raven' after the coloring.

The DOB was investigating the cause of the accident.
"This was a tragic accident – two people will not be going home to see their families tonight," Chandler said Tuesday. "Today's accident is a stark reminder of the dangers inherent in construction work. We continue to work every day to encourage the safest practices on sites throughout the city."
The Weather Service said winds gusted up as high 34 mph Tuesday in unspecified areas of the city.
"We are at the beginning of a multi-agency investigation into the cause of this accident," Chandler said. "Based upon an immediate assessment of the evidence, it is unlikely that wind played a role in the incident. At this time, it appears that there was likely a rigging failure that resulted in the beam coming loose and falling to the ground. However, we have not made any final determinations."
The DOB sent out a weather advisory Saturday warning that New York City area might experience wind gusts of up to 50 miles through Monday night. DOB reminded all builders, contractors, crane operators, and property owners to secure their construction sites, buildings, and equipment.
"Winds may reach higher speeds and last longer than forecast in certain areas of the city," the advisory said. "Property owners must consider the safety of their buildings and construction sites, including cranes, suspended and supported scaffolding, hoists, and any other building appurtenances that may come loose from exposure to high winds. Structures that have been subject to deferred maintenance or are in delicate condition could be at greater risk. The department suggests consulting a professional to advise how to secure construction sites and buildings."
City Councilmen Rory Lancman (D-Hillcrest), chairman of the Courts and Legal Services Committee, and Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn), chairman of the Housing and Buildings Committee, urged the city to monitor construction sites to prevent accidents in a joint statement.
"We would like to offer our prayers of peace and comfort to the families of the workers who died," they said. "The tragic death of two construction workers at a non-union job site in Queens is a stark reminder of the dangerous conditions that workers face in our city. We cannot take a backseat role when it comes to the safety of our workers, especially during windy conditions like those today. What's most alarming is that a recent Crain's report showed a third of construction deaths last year were uncounted by the administration."
The two Council members went on to say, "The city must stay vigilant in preventing fatalities as well as monitoring sites — especially after a tragedy — so it can examine how to remedy safety breakdowns on that location and other sites. We cannot ignore safety just so we can keep up with the construction boom taking place in the city. While the city has made real efforts to improve safety on job sites, this tragic accident is evidence that much more needs to be done as soon as possible. We owe it to the workers."

One question that we should search when it comes to breast implants is "silicone or saline?" Of course, not everyone is going to agree on the same answer, especially with all of the strides plastic surgeons have made in this area. Both implant types have an excellent record when it comes to safety, and both types now come in a variety of sizes. When an experienced plastic surgeon puts them in, you are looking at beautiful, natural results either way.
The better question may actually be "which type would be the best for my body?" Let's look at both types to help you make that decision.
The Benefits of Saline Implants
Saline implants are a great choice for women under 22-years-old, as they are FDA-approved for anyone 18 and over. If your breasts have a good deal of natural breast tissue, you might decide to choose saline implants. This is because the tissue will cover the implant, making rippling less of an issue.
Hate the idea of routine MRI scans? Then saline is the way to go. Women with silicone implants should have MRI scans every two to three years to check for possible ruptures. If your saline implant ruptures, the liquid is simply absorbed by the body, so routine MRIs are not required. Saline is less expensive than silicone. If cost is an issue, saline implants will be the best solution.
If you would prefer a transaxillary incision, saline implants are the better choice. Saline implants are actually filled after they are placed, so they work well with this type of insertion. However, talk to your surgeon about the risks associated with a transaxillary incision before making this particular decision.
The Benefits of Silicone Implants
Silicone implants will usually give you a more natural look. A skilled plastic surgeon can achieve a natural look when using saline implants, but silicone has a more "natural give" that makes them look amazing inside the breast.
Silicone implants are also the way to go when you want your breasts to feel natural. The newest generation of silicone gel imitates the feel of your real breast closely. Saline implants can feel very firm, especially if they have to be overfilled to avoid rippling. They are also lighter than saline implants, even when they are exactly the same size.
If you don't have a lot of natural breast tissue, silicone may be the right choice. Many patients actually fall under this category. Silicone implants will not ripple or wrinkle as much as saline implants can and do, as their filling is much more of a vicious nature. However, even clients who do have ample breast tissue often prefer going for the more natural softness of silicone implants.
Are you interested in shaped implants? Then silicone is the way to go. Shaped saline implants do exist, but you will not get the variety of sizes and shapes as you would with silicone.
Talk to Your Surgeon First
A reliable, reputable plastic surgeon will take the time to explain the pros and cons of both implants. It isn't a decision that should be rushed, so take your time and make an informed one. Dr. Nicholas Husni is a board-certified plastic surgeon who can help you make the decision when it comes to breast implants. Call his Ohio office today at 1-(216)-446-5727.

Marlo Thomas found fame starring in "That Girl" and became a feminist icon of '60s sitcom TV. She is a new millennium woman who gracefully juggles political activism, Hollywood, and a robust family and social life. Thomas starred in the sitcom "That Girl. The show defined an era with its portrayal of independent, free-spirited Ann Marie, a daughter of the feminist revolution. The series brought Thomas professional success in the form of a Golden Globe Award, but more importantly, it opened her eyes to the politics of the day. By using her celebrity to address important issues such as limited career choices for women, sexual exploitation and domestic violence, Thomas gave many less fortunate women the sense that their lives mattered. She co-founded the Ms. Foundation intending it to be a vehicle for funding feminist-minded groups. Thomas' activism expanded to children's issues. She remains involved in political and human-rights issues and raises funds for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

We Submit, and We Submit
June 16, 2014 § 14 Comments
A guest post from Risa Polansky Shiman:
We call them Summer Submission Parties. Every two weeks, my MFA friends and I reserve a classroom from the English department. We spread out around the long, conference-style table in front of our respective laptops, armed with bottles of water and Fig Newtons and a community bag of almonds that we agree somehow taste like walnuts (walmonds). Someone writes each of our names on the big, white board at the front of the room, and we get started.
"So-and-so, I think XYZ Review would be a good fit for your stuff – check it out."
"Guys! Such-and-Such Magazine is calling for experimental nonfiction!"
"Ugh. ANOTHER one that charges three dollars to submit. It's not the money – it's the principle."
"Shoot. I just missed the submission period for Journal That Definitely Would Have Published My Piece Had It Been Accepting Submissions."
You know. A Submission Party.
Our Facebook invite reads: "Really, just a gathering wherein we can actively encourage each other to submit pieces, share knowledge about journals, explore the inner workings of Duotrope, and make recommendations as to where we think we (and our friends) should submit. The goal is to bite the bullet and officially press 'send.'"
Whoever does press "send" then documents it on the board underneath his or her name to a heartfelt but kind of distracted smattering of whoops and applause, like when you put money in the tip jar at Cold Stone Creamery.
A Submission Party is about community. About encouragement. About ambition and confidence and tenacity. About doing. A Submission Party is where writers' dreams start feeling a little more like reality.
"Submission Party," my husband said. "Sounds sexual."
If you Google "submission," here's the first entry that pops up:
The action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.
And the second:
The action of presenting a proposal, application, or other document for consideration or judgment.
Riddle me this: What's the difference?
When writers submit work to a publication "for consideration or judgment," we are most definitely "yielding to a superior force."
We are submitting, and we are submissive.
Literary magazines are the doms and writers are the subs. We share pieces of our souls, receive rejection letters in return, and say, "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"
Of course, the editors are just doing their jobs – selecting the best writing most fit for their venues.
A lot of the time, it's just not mine. Yours. Ours.
A lot of the time, it's discouraging.
The director of my creative writing program, in an end-of-term address, told this year's graduates that for a while it will seem like no one cares about their writing.
"It will seem this way because it will be true," she said.
We submit, and we submit to this reality.
We submit to vulnerability, offer up our egos for bruising, pucker our lips and lean in again and again knowing editor after editor will likely turn their heads, letting our kisses land on their cheeks or somewhere near their eyes.
We submit to wondering, some days, whether we're any good. Whether we should bother.
My professor also said that no one caring won't be the case forever, but until it's not, we need to be the ones invested in our work.
"Continue to give a damn about your writing, and persist in producing, honing, shaping, and sharing it," she told us. "That is your job now."
So we do.
We write. Crunch our walmonds. Hit send. Put our names on that big, white board.
An antonym for "submission," according to Google, is "defiance."
Writers submit in defiance of rejection. In defiance of the odds. In defiance of the part of ourselves that questions whether we have what it takes.
Writers submit to honor the other part of ourselves, the bigger part, the part that is driven to write, moved to put words on a page and to share them. We keep writing the truest pieces we can, whether or not anyone wants to read them, but holding out hope someone will.
You know. A Submission Party.

In a letter thanking law enforcement officers after a shooting left one student injured in a Palmdale high school on Friday, an educator described how his school, less than 13 miles away, faced the ordeal.
Chris Andrews, listed as vice principal on Eastside High School's website, posted the message to Instagram the day a 14-year-old allegedly used a rifle to shoot a 15-year-old student in the arm at Highland High School.
An off-duty Los Angeles police officer, whom the suspect's parents knew and alerted about their son, apprehended the boy after he fled the campus, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
The victim was expected to recover, and no other injuries were reported.
Addressing all law enforcement officers "from a grateful heart," Andrews referred to the shooting as the worst thing his school district could imagine.
Highland High School and Eastside High School in Lancaster are both part of the Antelope Valley Union High School District.
"We train for this – two or three times a year," the post said. "We discuss the horrific possibilities and choices with our school community. We agonize over details and argue over strategies… The thing is, all of our preparation revolves around getting our people under cover and as safe as possible while we wait for you."
As Eastside High staffers scoured the news and authorities responded to the shooting about 20 minutes away, the Lancaster school's resource officer strapped on an extra vest and positioned himself in front of the campus, according to the message.
"One lone man determined that no one would get by him to harm our kids," the post said. "I listened to his radio as hundreds of his brothers and sisters ran to the scene, some from 50 miles away… I was in awe of the courage it took to stand his post alone, while he listened to the dangers he could not help defeat. So, inadequate as it is, I thank you. "
The full message, as reposted on Facebook by the Sheriff's Department's Lancaster station, can be read below.
