so what should we be doing in order to have a more rational discussion about mental illness? you think i'm going to be able to answer that? ha ha. i'm flattered. not gonna happen. but i do have some suggestions that i've picked up from my own battles, from stories people have shared with me, and from my various types of research.
take these for what they are, which are well-meant suggestions. they are not proven strategies.
part one :: what should you do?
and let me make it clear that, by "you", i mean you who have or have had mental disorders, and me. because ultimately, any discussion on this level requires the voice of experience. but before i get started on that, let me get this out of the way: it is not your job to be the ambassador for crazy. you should talk to exactly as many people as you feel comfortable with, at whatever stage you feel comfortable doing so. it is generally a good idea to talk about these things with those you love and who love you, if only so that there's someone who knows what's really happening. what i'm suggesting below are simply a few extra things that you could be doing if you feel up to it.
1. think of the details of what it feels like when you're mired in depression, having a panic attack, going through a manic or dissociative phase, having hallucinations, or experiencing traumatic flashbacks. don't concern yourself with the official descriptions; if you want to talk about the experience of having a mental illness, make it personal. most people have heard the "official line" about mental illnesses, but they can't translate that into human terms. you can be a bridge.
2. when it comes to sharing things at work, it's worth it to look before leaping. yes, in most places it is illegal to fire an employee for having a mental illness, but employers know that well enough to find a way around it. there's also fuck all to back those laws up in a lot of cases, so the most you're likely to get is an edict forcing your employer to take you back. if you want actual compensation, you'll need to sue, which can be expensive, stressful and drawn out. so before you reveal any of your health problems, make sure that you have a good sense of how the people in charge view mental illness. one survey of british employers said that forty percent admitted they would have serious reservations about hiring someone with a mental illness. so start from the point of view that you probably have, at best, a fifty-fifty chance of your employer wanting to help, versus wanting to find some way to get you out the door.
one "stealth" tactic would be to find out if other employees have taken leave for mental illness and observe how people reacted to that. i worked in one office where one employee was rushed to hospital with a work-related anxiety attack. i found this out because his divisional manager saw fit to share the information at a staff meeting, joking about it so boisterously that he [and a couple of the other managers] were reduced to tears from laughing so hard. at another place, some of the employees referred to time taken off by a coworker as "her vacation". yes, we should be fighting the stigma of mental illness, but nothing requires you to put yourself in a position of vulnerability in the name of social progress unless you feel comfortable doing so. and keep in mind that there may be no legal requirement that your human resources team [or whoever you speak to] keep your information confidential. company presidents, managers, directors and department members are never under any obligation to respect confidentiality.
feel free to call people on their bullshit as the situation permits. that can involve simply not laughing if you hear a coworker's mental health condition being mocked, or pointing out that it's a pretty unsympathetic thing to say. i've found it helpful in these sort of situations to politely ask what someone means, exactly, when they crack jokes or make disparaging remarks. at the least, showing some sort of resistance might make people less prone to making such comments around you. but it might also make them feel awkward about having done so at all.
3. when talking to friends and family, whoever you trust enough to be open with, don't pin yourself into being defined by your mental illness. yes, you should be honest, particularly when you're feeling overwhelmed or very upset. but part of asking people to understand your disorder is asking them to understand that you've always been the same person. getting so wrapped up in the misery of mental illness that you become a completely different person isn't helpful for anybody [caveat: does not apply to addicts]. people who really care about you should be supportive and interested and non-judgmental. but they didn't sign on to be a therapist and may have their own struggles when it comes to interpreting and dealing with mental illness. that doesn't make them a bad person. and keep in mind that a mental illness doesn't absolve you of being a caring, supportive, interested person. your relationships started as two-sided and they should remain so, even if you're needier for a time.
part two :: what the "other you" can do
i've already covered this, and i don't really have a lot to add at this time.
part three :: what "society" can do
part of the reason why we struggle to answer the questions of mental illness in society is because "society" is a big, nebulous thing, that's actually not anything except an aggregate of averages. but there are aspects of "society" that we can address. specifically, i think there are a lot of things that the media can be doing to forward this conversation. so let's say that, for the moment, they represent the voice of what we call society. some of you reading this may be part of the media. or you may have access to members of the media. or you can interact with the media through facebook, twitter, or by showing up in their lobbies and shouting at people. [ok, maybe let's not do that last one, as fun as it sounds.]
1. get mental health experts to comment on issues of mental health. i should be used to it, but nonetheless it still amazes and infuriates me that, whenever there is discussion on the issue of mental illness, the media coverage includes family members of the afflicted and police, but no psychiatrists, psychologists, or any kind of mental health specialist. this constitutes an outright refusal to provide salient facts.
2. provide context where mental health is concerned. mental health is chiefly mentioned in the media for one of two reasons: someone with a mental health problem has been killed or injured by police or someone with a mental health problem is charged with a violent crime. when you use a vague term like "mental health problems" in a specific case, or if you just name the condition without further elaboration, you're doing a disservice. most people don't know the difference between various mental disorders and what kind of behaviour they cause. explain it. it's what you're there for.
3. don't contribute to the culture of denial. when something bad happens, a lot of people [*cough* nra *cough*] will talk about mental illness and the importance of dealing with this. stop letting that slide. in the case of politicians, ask what their proposals are. or ask why they think mental illness is the problem when statistics show that those with mental disorders aren't any more prone to violent outbursts than the rest of us. or just bring the subject up at a later date, in order to follow up. there is nothing to say that all news has to focus only on things that happened that morning. the best news agencies in the world do their finest work by stepping back and looking at an issue that isn't immediately in the public eye.
that's it. that's all i got. well, i might have a little more with regards to the upcoming u.s. presidential election, but that's for another post.
until then, do what you can, no more and no less. it's the only way progress can happen.

I am disappointed in Pat Leahy.
The good senator from Vermont and I probably agree on more issues than disagree. But we do disagree on his Protect Intellectual Property Act, also known as PIPA. You may have heard of PIPA, or its more notorious House counterpart, SOPA.
Many notable web sites have gone dark or posted messages of opposition to the proposed legislation due to its potential pernicious consequences. (There are plenty of analyses of the effects of this legislation; this one, for example). Suffice it to say that SOPA and PIPA represent credible threats to free speech and innovation.
Senator Leahy introduced this bill. I'm disappointed that Leahy, in particular, introduced it. Yes, he's a longtime supporter of intellectual property protections. Fair enough. Nothing wrong with that; after all, I benefit from copyright. Of late, he's taken a defensive position on it: It's interesting to see his webpage on the topic of IP is full of PIPA justifications and clarifications, and some of his recent press releases have stated outright that Wikipedia, reddit, et al, wouldn't be affected by PIPA. To which point, again, I point you to this analysis.
The irony in all of this, for me, comes from Senator Leahy's professed enthusiasm for technology. His use of the web has been a point of pride, and his office still reminds people that he is "the second senator to launch a website." He's called—or calls himself—the "cyber senator" for goodness sake (I've associated that label with him for years). Why? For "his ongoing leadership on issues related to the Internet and technology."
Indeed. It must be confounding for the Cyber Senator to be responsible for legislation that, under its current proposed status, is merely anathema to the tech industry, but, if passed and enacted, could be poison to it.

From Nov 2012 – Smartphones and Tablets pass PC's: customers are mobile, content is customized to each of 3 screens – Software and service providers are emerging to support the new challenges of content creation for the variety of devices that consumers interact with. Consumer expectation is that content is available and optimized for their device of choice. Web sites, email, and other mobile content are becoming more interactive with the overall movement from PCs to tablets and other mobile devices, using geolocation, touch gestures, and more engaging user interfaces.
Indeed in 2013, we are already seeing this prediction come true. In an eMarketer report published this month, Mobile (nonvoice) time spent online passed all online activity on desktops or laptops. This study pulled from 400 data points collected from more than 40 research institutions. What I found to be the most important figure in this study was the OVER 50% increase in time spent on mobile from the year prior. Adults are spending 2:21 a day on their smartphones or tablets in comparison to the 2:19 spent on desktops and laptops.
One consideration that should be taken into account is the number of people at traditional "desk jobs" that might be contributing 6-7 hours a day on a desktop to the statistics. With those entries skewing the results towards computer use, it is even more impressive that mobile has managed to pass desktop this year. Also worth noting is that digital passed television consumption for the first time ever.
So what does every marketer have to learn from this prediction coming to fruition? Here are the key takeaways I see from mobile eclipsing traditional online consumption:
- Marketers must realize that consumers are multitasking- Two and three screens are in use at any given time, and it is up to the marketer to craft a consistent message that reaches across platforms. Eventually, I see advertising crossing mediums more and more, where browsing on a tablet can lead to smarter advertising on smartphones, video game systems and laptops. Collecting data about consumer preference that can be implemented across devices will provide for a seamless marketing experience for the customer and higher conversion rates.
- Marketers must produce more interactive content –Direct mail and print advertising must continue finding more ways to interact with mobile devices, which will be crucial in grabbing the attention of more fragmented consumer media consumption. Applications on the smartphone that allow for augmented reality, video displays and mobile coupons that serve as an extension of the printed piece will help print flourish in the years to come.
- Mobile use is an opportunity to reach consumers where they are and a huge opportunity for retailers- Geolocation with smartphones is a huge opportunity to curb what many retailers are calling showrooming. Forrester Research reports that 31 percent of mobile phone owners use their devices to research products. Reaching your customers on mobile devices while they are in stores is becoming crucial. Showing them competitive pricing and offering discounts while they are shopping will help increase conversions.
- Consider the audience, and their device – It is becoming increasingly important to have a mobile-optimized experience for the consumer, and to use identifying characteristics to cater to the specific device. The consumer has started to expect the screen size to be optimal for their device, and if the device is touch-enabled, that functionality must also be built into the user experience.
This transition from laptops to smartphones is one of the biggest marketing opportunities of the last ten years. Marketers that make the right adjustments to share their message across platforms, while adhering to the rules of each platform, will be the most successful in the years to come.

The Linux command line is a pretty powerful tool. You can do pretty much anything with it. Today, we will look at finding large files with command. We are going to use a command called "find". It has been around for many decades and for a good reason. It does its job extraordinarily well. Now, Let's see the working of this command and how to use it for finding large files.
How To Find Large Files Using Command Line In Linux
'find' command
The syntax of this command goes like this :
$ command directory -test pattern
We will replace "command" with find. The "directory" should be replaced with the directory path that you want to be searched for. You can specify multiple directories too. "Test" means a condition which the files should match. The most common test we use is name. We specify a name and search for the files of the name. An example of the name test is -
$ find ~ -name foo
This command will search for files name "foo" (case sensitive) in the ~ (home directory of the user). You can also search multiple directories. For example -
$ find ~ /media/user -name foo
This command will search for the files named "foo" in home directory of the user as well as in the the "/media/user/" path ( usually where all the other partitions are mounted).
Note:- Replace user with your username.
You can use wildcards too for patterns. Just don't forget to use the double quotes around the pattern or name with wildcards to suppress expansion.
Now, there is a test called size. This is used to find files on the basis of their sizes.
$ find ~ -size 10M
This command will show you files that are exactly 10 MB, and I don't think it will be much useful as people can remember the exact file names. That is why we use -
$ find ~ -size +10M
This command will show all files above 10 MB. You already guessed how to search for large files now. It depends on what size you call large. If you need to use GB, then, simply replace "M" with "G".
$ find ~ -size +3G
This command will search for files above 3 GB.
I know that meaning of large varies over contexts. For example, large is different for images and movies. Images are around 1 or 2 MB. But videos don't practically exist around that size. So, combine the size and name tests.
$ find ~ -size +10M "*.m4a"
Replace m4a with any extension of your choice.
Now, you can search files with command line on linux. Just remember that command line is very powerful and find command is one of the basic tools. So, you can expect it to be really flexible and robust. Find has a lot more options which you can find in its man page.

pizza dough base
- Make the dough: mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a large mixing bowl and stir in the olive oil and milk. Gradually add the water, mixing well to form a soft dough.http://www.spagopizza.ro/pizza-1
- Turn the dough out on to a floured work surface and knead for about five minutes, until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for about 1½ hours, until doubled in size.
- When the dough has risen, knock it back, then knead again until smooth, roll into a ball and set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour until risen again.
- Preheat the oven to its highest setting.
- Divide the dough into six balls and roll each out onto a lightly floured work surface until 20cm/8in in diameter.
- Spread a little passata (or homemade tomato sauce) over each pizza base and top with your favourite toppings.
- Bake the pizzas in the oven until the bases are crisp and golden-brown around the edges and any cheese on the topping has melted.

Your Child's First Visit
One of the most important things that Embree Dentistry wants you to remember is those baby teeth are just as important as permanent adult teeth. Without these teeth, your child wouldn't be able to eat or speak well. The baby teeth also hold space for adult teeth as they develop. Taking care of baby teeth can drastically improve your child's smile later on. We want to help you and your family in every way possible, from start to finish.
When to Schedule Your Child's First VisitBecause of how important these teeth are to your child, we recommend that you come in for the first time within six months of your child's first tooth erupting. Otherwise, we advise you not to put it off beyond their first birthday. Generally speaking, when a baby is born, there are about 20 teeth developing under the surface of their gums. Within six to twelve months, their front teeth will begin breaking through the surface. These twenty teeth should be erupted fully by the time your son or daughter is about three years old. Coming in early means that we can see your child when he/she has no dental problems. Waiting for an emergency to occur before coming in can have more complicated consequences later on.
What Happens During Your Child's First VisitComing in for that first visit will entail several processes. We will start by having a discussion with you after a general examination of their mouth, ensuring that everything is as it should be. This conversation includes finding the best diet for your child as well as discussing the correct method with which to clean and care for their budding teeth. We can also discuss what fluoride treatments and cleaning materials we recommend. We will set up a starting ground, which we can follow from that point on. This is because your first visit situates our office as your child's "home" office. Then, as you bring them back year after year, we can get to know your child and their needs in conjunction with the rest of your family, and keep detailed records of each visit.
We will also perform a cleaning of your child's teeth. We will do an examination to look for decay, similar to how we do with adults. We will also look to see if your child is at risk of problems associated with thumb sucking, which can be common. If we deem them a good option for your child, we may also provide fluoride treatment or dental sealants to prevent decay.
Each child is different, and Embree Dentistry is here to guide your child's care based entirely on his or her individual needs. Not every first visit will be the same, but starting early is key in providing your child with a long future of healthy teeth. If you have any questions on when it is time to bring your child in for a preliminary check-up, give us a call today. We would be more than happy to discuss your options with you.

The players were offered $30 per minute for a win, $20 per minute for a tie, and $15 per minute for a 1-0 loss to Canada.
El Salvador players played a recording of a man offering them money to fix their World Cup qualifying match against Canada, saying Ricardo Padilla, a former club president, offered bribes in exchange for varied results.
According to the players, Padilla was at the team's hotel in San Salvador on Saturday and asked to speak with the players. He then offered $30 per minute for a win, $20 per minute for a tie, and $15 per minute for a 1-0 loss in the match.
Padilla didn't deny the allegations, reportedly saying he wasn't asking the players to throw the game and telling Salvadoran paper La Presna Grafica, "Let them investigate, I'm not worried. Those who want to see it as something bad can see it that way and those who want to see it as something good then they can too."
Here's video of the players speaking out, recorded by the Salvadoran federation:
The development comes three years after 14 Salvadoran officials were banned for life over match-fixing.
Canada and El Salvador are set to play at 10 p.m. ET in Vancouver.
El Salvador has already been eliminated from reaching the final round, while Canada still has hope of going through but needs plenty of help from Mexico in its match vs. Honduras.

Thank you for this
I made Save The Farm because I was so inspired by the farmers and activists who were risking arrest to save the largest urban farm in America, and I wanted to understand and share their passion and their logic for why urban farms are key to sustainable futures for our cities. Working on this film, I got a deep understanding of environmental injustice and the suffering of those who are least responsible for the climate conditions on planet earth. I was equally moved by the need for sustainable local organic agriculture in our cities, to curb the effects of obesity and diabetes, and to provide safe places for families to gather. The farmers also grew 150 medicinal herbs, and most importantly taught their children how to grow food, a skill that is key to achieving self sustainability but sadly is being lost in our fast food world today.Read less

There's no thing as a corporation by using a heart! No large corporation ever gave it's workers anything they weren't forced into by competition or unionization. Of your myth fostered by big corporations like Big Pharma etc.
Fat will be used in Nicotinamide Riboside and may be found in both animal and plant foods. Your system needs sufficient degrees of fat to take care of good strength. That fat should be obtained in any mixture of lean animal and plant sources. Roughly 25-30% of one's daily calories should originate from these sources.
In all honestly, and also your I already been brain rinsed. We are going to inform you the truth, the main truth and there is but the reality. Along with all of us, we've been brought substantially as believe in specific set of ideas about wellness and disease. A medical mythology that our greater scientific understanding shows us is simply not true. These ideas have shaped globalsustainability.org how we live, the way you maintain our health, how we deliver heath care treatment and how you die. Maybe reading the following paragraphs will shed some light from what is facts and misconception. Ok?
Decide on healthy berries. Real homegrown fruit is usually a lot much more costly than fruit flavored (or enhanced) snack items. Purchasing real fruit is better for top quality and your pocketbook at the end. Try keeping some fruit accessible which won't try to buy that imitation product at the fast food place. You might not believe the impact this change could make in your state of health. Black raspberries, specifically, are a great source of vitamin supplements and taste even so they can be very spendy.
Raw foods are better. You feel more satisfied and find more energy following a smaller meal of raw living foods because of your excellent balance of nutrients they have that your body needs. So anyone end up eating less while still feeling satisfied.
Money can be a subject a substantial but light people these. Being unsuccessful and having low self esteem are the compass points of an endless downhill spiral that just keeps feeding on by itself. You feel bad because you shouldn't have enough dollars. Your poor self confidence lowers your associated with success. Never allow your current status affect your outlook.
All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and also the key along with rapid weight success. Light dieting, workout, and appropriate amount of supplementation applied in the regular way everyday can lead to faster fat reduction than using a massive action only to be followed a get back on old habits as this could only lead to gaining excess fat than once the weight loss plan has started.

I'm guessing that packard bell bought out Zenith Data Systems at some point. Yep... in 1996 they merged with Packard Bell and NEC.

Given ZDS was part of Packard Bell in those days and Packard Bell tended to use Aztech sound chips, there's a good chance this has one too, maybe an AZT2316 or so. Which is good news - they are pretty faithful hardware Soundblaster clones. So one easy test would be to just assume there is something at A220 I5 D1 and try to use it as if it was an SB. Failing that, start with a general midi test, which only needs the address. Try 220 and then all the other likely candidates. Once you have the address you can try to guess IRQ and DMA.

Owner of Bay State land sought by Wynn resists disclosure pledge
One of the owners of land in Everett, Mass., that Wynn Resorts Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn wants to buy to build a casino is refusing to sign a promise that no secret owners would profit from the sale.
BOSTON — One of the owners of land in Everett that Wynn Resorts Chairman and CEO Steve Wynn wants to buy to build a casino is refusing to sign a promise that no secret owners would profit from the sale.
Anthony Gattineri, co-owner of the site where Wynn Resorts has proposed to build greater Boston's only casino, has refused to sign the pledge even though the Massachusetts Gaming Commission says it will not approve a casino without assurances that criminals won't profit from it.
He's also refused to testify under oath to commission investigators.
"He's not signing under the advice of his criminal counsel," Daniel Doherty, who represents Gattineri in business matters, told The Boston Globe.
His refusals are fueling speculation that convicted felon Charles Lightbody is still part owner of the land, something Lightbody's lawyer denies.
"It has nothing to do with any hidden interest that anybody believes Mr. Lightbody has because he doesn't have one," attorney Timothy Flaherty said.
Wynn spokesman Michael Weaver said in an email that the company does not see Gattineri's refusal to sign the statement as an obstacle.
"We are confident that we will resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the commission prior to them making a decision and that it will not jeopardize our license approval," he said.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission in December found Wynn Resorts Ltd. suitable to hold a gambling license in the state.
The Las Vegas-based gaming company has proposed a $1.3 billion resort-casino in Everett on the site of a former Monsanto chemical plant. The project, built on 32 acres along the Mystic River, will include a 550-room hotel.
Wynn's proposal is competing with Mohegan Sun's proposal to build a resort casino on the Revere side of the Suffolk Downs horse track for the only casino license in the Boston area.
The commission's decision is expected later this year.
Shares of Wynn Resorts gained 49 cents, or 0.23 percent, to close on Friday at $211.33 on the Nasdaq.

Did you know that MoD personnel are given priority when applying to buy a property through shared ownership? It could be your answer to making the dream of home-ownership a reality.
To help you decide whether it's for you, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about shared ownership.
How does it work?
Through a housing provider like Aster, you buy a share of a property and pay rent on the part you don't own. We offer a range of shared ownership properties across the south of England, most of which are brand new. Depending on the type of property and the location, you can start off by buying a share as low as 25% and deposits can be less than £2,000 for a £150,000 home.
Am I eligible?
Anyone with a household income of £80,000 or less can buy through shared ownership. Given that the average household income in the UK is around £40,000, most people are eligible.
Can I afford it?
On average, a person buying through shared ownership has a household income of £30,347. Buying a house is one of the most important decisions you make and shared ownership is there to make it affordable. It allows you to buy anywhere between 25% and 75% of your new home, depending on what you can afford.
Will I actually own my home?
Shared ownership is a great way to get your foot on the property ladder. Owning part of the property means smaller mortgage repayments and a smaller deposit. Through a process called 'staircasing' you may be able to increase your share of the property until you become the sole owner.

Top tips on Summer haircare in Bristol
It's that time of year when our hairdressers at Stages Hair Design see more clients asking about how to protect, nourish and keep their hair in good condition during Summer months.
And we thought we'd use our Bristol hairdressing blog to provide education, hints and tips on Summer haircare from our hair salons in Stoke Bishop and Patchway for clients and blog readers alike.
When it comes to protecting your hair against heat damage in Summer months, as well as ensuring that all parts of the hair and scalp are protected and revitalised after long days in the sun on the beach at home and abroad.
One of the most important hair care tips in Summer is to remember to keep rehydrating hair, to prevent permanent heat damage, split ends increasing, and potential scalp damage from overly-dried hair.
We provide hair hydration treatments for clients, which are simple, cost-effective and can be applied within 30 minutes. Just ask in-salon for more.
Also, the wonder hair product of the moment for treating dry, heat-damaged hair and also for helping to lock in moisture is Olaplex. This amazing hair treatment product is also superb for treating mechanically-damaged hair, such as hair driers, tongs and hair straightening irons.
Our expert hairdressing team have also devised and developed a unique range of SHD hair products containing Argan Oil, a hair treatment similar to Moroccan Oil. The SHD Argan Oil product range are effective and cheaper.
As Olaplex-approved hair salons in Bristol, Olaplex can be used within the hair colour service as an added treatment. Ask in-salon for further details.
There is also an exclusive blog offer still available on Olaplex treatments at our Bristol hair salons – read here for more information.
We also provide guaranteed treatment for thinning hair problems, which can sometimes be associated with hair in poor condition during the Summer months. To find out more about our hair thinning treatments, please visit here.
To find out more about the hair colouring, hairdressing, hair extension and hair treatment services we offer at both of our Bristol hair salons, please get in touch here.

Stocks surged while oil and gold gave up early gains after the decision by the Fed to drop the "Considerable time" pledge on interest rates. King World News reached out to one of the top hedge fund managers in Asia to get his take on what has transpired and what to expect in 2015.
Eric King: "Bill, what should people expect to see as we head into the end of this year and what about 2015?"
William Kaye: "My thoughts are that we are headed for a close that would be targeted below the close in 2013. At the end of last year gold closed just above $1,200. It certainly appears there is a desire by Western central planners to see gold finish this year below that number.
They will then run headlines in the mainstream media that gold continues to be in a bear market. So the trading itself will be volatile but what I will be looking for is real difficulty in getting gold in size. In other words the kind of size in physical gold that you need to satisfy sovereign orders and the mega wealthy…

AutoSchedule simply chooses an optimal time for you to post, thereby relieving you of the stress of worrying about the best time of the day to share your posts.
Hootsuite claims that the algorithm uses a combination of your activity and your followers activity by looking at your personal history to determine sharing patterns from your past and post content accordingly whilst also looking at your followers feedback.
According to hootsuite, the best practice currently is to use the autoscheduling feature frequently, as it gets more "intelligent" at learning your patterns the more you use it. I've also read somewere that manually scheduling messages also helps to improve the autoscheduling algorithm.
AutoSchedule is activated by clicking on the Scheduler icon and turning AutoSchedule on.
Before using the feature, I recommend you set your time zone via "Settings" > "Account". Hence, if you are in Nigeria, you can set it to (GMT+1) Africa/Lagos.
I also recommend you configure your Autoschedule settings via "Settings" > "Autoschedule". Right there, you can set the number of posts to schedule within a time interval daily as well as select the days you want messages to be scheduled on.
For example, the settings above simply means 6 Auto Scheduled posts will only go out on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 10am and 11pm for the time zone I have my Dashboard set to. If you compose 25 messages in one sitting, only 6 of them will be AutoScheduled for that particular day and then they will be moved on to the next day in your settings.
Rest assured, like regular scheduled messages AutoSchedule messages can be viewed and rescheduled at any time. These messages will appear with a Clock Icon next to them in Publisher and can be rescheduled the same way as regular messages. After rescheduling, the Clock Icon will disappear confirming your new scheduled time.
If you are looking to set up multiple messages for specific times and repeat messaging I suggest hootsuite Bulk Scheduling. With Bulk Scheduling you can post up to 350 messages at once. These messages will go out at the time and frequency that you input.
How To Auto-schedule Updates Using Hootsuite
==> Just like scheduling your messages as explained here, select networks and type your message.
==> In the drop down menu, turn the AutoSchedule feature ON.
==> Click AutoSchedule and you're done!
To ensure that your messages are sent at the exact date and time that you want, the best alternative would be to set your AutoSchedule to OFF. When you compose a message, simply click on the schedule icon, change AutoSchedule to OFF, then manually select the date and time for the post to go out.
I hope this helps.
Do you use the Hootsuite AutoScheduler? Kindly share your experience via comments.

Summary - Burkers caught an old lady, but she got away.
When Bella was young she heard burker stories. Her mother told one about an old lady who was going to a farm to ask for a night's shelter when the burkers' machine came up behind her and she was taken. She screamed and the farmer came out and chased the machine and shot at it. The burkers threw the old lady out, and she escaped but was badly hurt. Bella has heard of the blood-suckers, but knows nothing about them.

Sue and I were talking last night about female subjectivity would look like. It seems such a vast thing, something so overwhelming, I didn't know where to start. Then, I decided that this was something I needed to explore further, really get in to, really try to understand. Maybe to write about, in a blog or a booklet or something.
What would female subjectivity mean? It would change the world. Everything would change.
So, I wanted to ask some questions and it would be great if you could submit your answers to the questions in the comment section and help me see what this means to the women and men around me. I want to ask you about how you have experienced women in culture and history and society, to try and get a grip on how we experience femininity today and what it would take to see it differently, liberated from patriarchal constructs.
I don't know where i'm going with this. But i'm excited.
1. When you were at school, did your school exercises and problems feature boys and girls?
2. Who are the most famous authors in the world?
3. Who are your favourite authors and why?
4. What do you know about Queen Elizabeth 1st?
5. Who are the most famous women in history and what do you know about them?
6. Who is your hero?
7. Who do you consider to be iconic figures, past and/or present
8. How do you think women's bodies are portrayed in past and present society?
9. What do you think are honest and open representations of women's sexuality? Where are they?
10. What do you think feminine subjectivity is?
11. What do you feel makes you a woman?
12. What do you think society feels makes you a woman?
That's it for now. You don't have to answer all of them. Those questions were basically off the top of my head, so it isn't very scientific. If you think there are questions i should have asked, then comment and tell me. It would be really helpful!
I think there's something here we can really do, really say something about. I'm really over-the-top excited about it!

Meeting the Seconde
Our second meetup was the hottest one yet, pretty much literally because we were in the middle of the Summer's worst heatwave in a room with no air-conditioning. But regardless! A great host of brave, horrendously dehydrated souls arrived at L'Amère à Boire to both quench their thirst and continue this analogy equating "eating and drinking" with "talking about game development."
Darius Kazemi—of the IGDA's Board of Directors and co-organiser of the Boston GameLoop unconference—broke the ice by discussing the latter, and extending an invitation to one and all: it's Saturday, August 28th, so mark your calendars. Darius then moved on to describe the emerging HTML5 web standard, as well as the fledgling Akihabara API for HTML5 game development (be sure to check out Darius' and Darren Torpey's Akihabara tutorials). After a few questions from the audience, the night moved on to our usual open-mike/open-laptop demo format, where devs could show off their works-in-progress, and chat and make merry with their peers.
As usual, a huge thank-you to all who attended, in particular Heather Kelley (our originally-scheduled speaker), who managed to make it up an inordinate number of stairs despite an impressive-looking leg brace; and of course to Darius for having driven all the way up from Boston to be with us for the evening.
We'll see you all again soon.

Having RJ-45 Cable Signal Problems till I reboot
Since I was having problems with RJ-45 Cable, I chose a different one to use, but the problems sustained. I can see a signal of yellow triangle consisting a black exclamatory sign in the taskbar as I plug it into my WildBlue modem and Lan input of my PC. I can find the red X symbol as always, on unplugging the cable from any one side. Although I have all the latest drivers of LAN for the board, a strange thing happens which is; the problem does not prolong as I reboot the PC. I got to see that black exclamation mark with a yellow triangle around it several times, yet I was connected to the internet few times though I wasn't in most of the times. I am using Windows7 Home Premium. Please give me some ideas regarding this problem. Your precious ideas are highly valued to me. Thank you.

Looking for an independent specialist Company to handle your Ski Weekend Event?
What Exactly is Mountain Leap?
"From the moment I saw your logo till you dropped us off at Geneva, I felt in good hands with Mountain Leap. Our clients had an excellent time. The chalet was beautiful and the way your team operated was first rate. We have been on ski weekends before, but this was a higher level of service. Patty's guitar playing was much appreciated too.....!"
Lawrence Munday
Mountain Leap Events is the largest independent corporate ski company in the Alps. We are not tied to any resort or provisioned by a parent company. All we do is ski weekends, teambuilding activities and winter or summer alpine conferences.
Imagine an independent company specialising in Alpine corporate hospitality, motivational events or events that boost your sales campaigns. A company operated by a team of dedicated experts with corporate executive backgrounds. A company that understands your world and the corporate events world. This is Mountain Leap; at the centre of things in the city and at the heart of the French Alps.
Our key Alpine location means that we have intimate knowledge of the surrounding mountain regions, with extensive and invaluable contacts and resources throughout. Whether an event is organised for hospitality, team-building, incentives or simply for a chance to get away from the office, we believe that the backdrop of the Alps provides extraordinary possibilities for recreation, meaningful experiences and refreshment of the body and soul! Whatever your objectives, at Mountain Leap, our mission is to understand all your expectations, and then exceed them.
When and Where?
During the Winter...
During winter we organise memorable corporate events and hospitality in the principal Alpine destinations of Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland and also Scandinavia. We can arrange almost any activity you require and many that you might not have thought possible. Whilst skiing and snowboarding go without saying, our snowmobile touring, heliskiing, dog sledding adventures and snow golfing, among many others, offer an event with a new experience for any group of people.
...and in the Summer
You can choose between Alpine hiking to remote mountain huts, climbing, mountain biking, white water rafting, canyoning, wakeboarding, altitude golfing and horse-riding, all of which take place in the same inspiring locations, which transform themselves every spring from winter wonderland snow-topped peaks to some of the world's most breathtaking greenery and scenery.

Spain is exploring investment opportunities in Zimbabwe's energy sector as relations between the two countries grow stronger. Zimbabwe-Spain relations are being reinforced following the coming into power of a new dispensation and a subsequent visit by a special envoy sent by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to Madrid in March. Speaking after paying a courtesy call on Energy and Power Development Minister Ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo, Spanish ambassador to Zimbabwe Alicia Moral said she has been meeting with various cabinet ministers in a bid to deepen economic collaboration between the two countries in different areas. "The economic aspect of this relationship is very important and this is why the Economic and Commercial Councillor who is based in Johannesburg came this week to meet with ministers of different companies to explore economic opportunities. "This is the main purpose of this meeting, to see available opportunities for Spanish companies in the energy sector. I want to say the energy sector is very important for us because there is a number of big Spanish companies who have a lot of expertise in energy and more specifically renewable energy," said Ambassador Moral.

by Scott Sterling, Learning Sciences International
Ritual engagement sounds like a scary term, bringing to mind pictures of Mayan sacrifice. It's actually just the little things you do during a lesson to assess learning informally. If done correctly, they become a habit (hence the "ritual"). For most teachers, this takes the form of periodically asking questions and soliciting answers.
As we all know, the most likely students to answer your questions are the ones that have the answer. The ones who might be struggling (who are the very students you want to identify under any formative assessment scheme) will try to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible. Unfortunately, it usually works.
There are better ways. You've probably heard of some at various PD sessions and conferences. If you have any great ones, please share them in the comments. But here are three that have stood the test of time, reach every student in the classroom, and increase rigor at the same time.
Turn and talk
Many kids don't want to speak in class; very few don't want to speak to their friends during class. At the times you would typically ask a question of the group, instead have them ask the question of each other.
Say you're covering a concept, and you come across a key point. Simply ask the students to turn to the kid next to them and talk about this point for about a minute. Walk around to make sure everyone is staying on task and try to listen in on the discussions. You'll not only hear whether students are grasping the point, but also, if they are getting stuck, which concept is tripping them up. A minute can provide a wealth of formative assessment knowledge.
The parking lot
Again, this strategy caters to students who don't wish to speak in front of the class.
Set up a spot on your board or a large sheet of paper, labeling it "The Parking Lot". Then have plenty of Post-It notes available. Either periodically during the lesson or at the end of class as an exit ticket, ask one of the questions you would have previously asked the whole group. Everyone writes their answer or a question they still have about the concept on a Post-It, then sticks it to the parking lot.
A quick scan of the lot will tell you where you need to go next in your instruction. Kids are engaged because it's anonymous.
This is for the techy teachers who might be working in a BYOD or 1:1 device environment. As you are delivering your lesson, open a backchannel website and have the students contribute their thoughts throughout your lesson. Project the conversation on your white board or LCD so everyone can follow along. Again, this technique makes for easy formative assessment without the constant stalls and pauses of questioning techniques.
Some of the more popular ways to provide a backchannel in your classroom include:
- Todaysmeet.com
- Backchannel Chat
- Polleverywhere – polls through texting
- Twitter- just set up your own #hashtag
As we've discussed in previous posts, the new standards are asking students to think more abstractly about concepts. The only way to develop those skills is through a consistent dialogue that turns the topic around in the students' heads. These and more strategies can help you get there.
If you'd like more informal assessment strategies, check out this handout from the American Federation of Teachers.
We believe that the most important thing a teacher or leader can do is to fuel each student's passion for learning. When this is achieved, a lifetime of accomplishment becomes possible for that learner. Through partnerships with schools and districts throughout the country, we help educators and leadership transform each classroom into a powerful learning environment that prepares students for lasting success in school, the global workplace, and beyond. Our vision for the future is big and bright, and we love helping schools get there. Learn more about Learning Sciences International.

Deep and Delicious Shepherd's Pie
Who doesn't like Shepherd's Pie? It's a quintessential fall/winter dinner packed full of delicious beef and veggies and it's pretty obviously a favourite of mine. Better yet? It's so simple to make and neatly rounds out my Shepherd's Pie recipe set.
- 1 1/4 pounds of yukon gold (or similar), peeled and cubed
- 3 cloves of garlic, roughly cut (they'll get mashed)
- 1 pound of lean ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup beef or vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup carrots sliced/diced
- 1 cup button or cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 cup of peas
- 1 cup of corn
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Place potatoes and garlic in a pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer on medium/low, cover, and simmer until tender (15 - 20 minutes).
While potatoes are cooking, brown the beef and onion on medium heat in a deep skillet. I like to also add in some oregano and rosemary to help flavour.
When beef has browned, stir in flour, beef broth, tomato paste, carrots, mushrooms, celery, peas, and corn. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly and continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until it has thickened.
Transfer the mixture to a large, oven-proof, casserole dish.
Drain the potatoes and mash them. Add 1/4 cup of cheese and the sour cream and continue mashing the mixture until it is smooth. Spoon the potatoes onto the beef mixture in the casserole dish.
With a fork, spread the potatoes evenly across the beef, to the sides of the casserole dish, forming the top layer. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of the potatoes.
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Let cool for 10 - 15 minutes before serving.

Feelings can be so confusing sometimes. We can feel two contradictory emotions at the same time, or we experience an emotion that we can't identify and don't understand. Today's poetry book explores the feelings people have in a creative and clever way. Touches of humor in some of the poems reminds us that there is always room for a smile or a laugh.
What are you glad about? What are you mad about?
What are you glad about? What are you mad about?

Poetry Book
For ages 7 to 9

Sometimes we know exactly how we are feeling. We are happy because our day is going well, or we are grumpy because nothing seems to be going right. Then there are those times when we cannot quite figure out what is going on inside. We think we are happy, but then feelings of sadness trickle in from somewhere. Or, we think we should be upset, but somehow the upset feelings don't behave the way they are supposed to.
No matter how you are feeling, you will find that this book contains poems that speak to you, that resonate with you because they seem to understand what is happening in your life at this particular moment. For example, if you are feeling cut off from the world and alone, the poem All Alone Inside My Very Own Skin will comfort you because you will see that you are not the only who is feeling all alone inside; you are not the only one who wishes "I could invite somebody in."
More often than not, what we feel on the inside is influenced by what is happening on the outside. Events at school, family ups and downs, and happenings with friends and enemies all play a part in our stories, and there are poems in this collection that bring such stories to life.
My Papa is a poem that captures the love that one little child has for his grandfather, a man who makes wonderful grilled cheese sandwiches. This grandfather rides bikes, reminds his grandson of "My thank-yous and my pleases," and when the little boy becomes the president he will "banish prunes and peases" and his grandfather will be named the "head of the / Department of Grilled Cheeses."
From an easy-going grandfather we go to Bossy Mom, a parent who controls her child's every move and action in life. You don't have to be a genius to see that the child is more than a little fed up with being told what to do, and how to do it, every minute of the day. "She is ruining my life!" and "she's going to drive me completely insane," the child says, in desperate tones.
There are even poems in this collection about the seasons, which is only right and proper. After all, for children, the seasons are often full of things that summon up emotions. There are wonderful things like falling leaves in autumn that make such a "commotion" in their leave-taking so that we "won't forget them when they go." Then there are not so great things like those cold days in winter when we are so cold and shivery, so frozen to the bone, that we wish we could hibernate and tell people "don't bother to call me till spring."
This is a delicious collection of poems that children will come back to again and again, because on the pages they will find verses that will make them smile, and nod, and shake their heads in commiseration. They will find situations and feelings that will be familiar, and that will make sense. They will feel that here is a poet who completely 'gets' where they are coming from.

In Search of Cupid and Psyche: Myth and Legend in Children's Literature
Three daughters/sisters:
Two disingenuous, "evil-minded," "hateful vampires," p. 111; duplicitous, envious, usually confederated against the third.
Youngest Daughter:
Stainless daughter of matchless beauty (sacrifice of, loving, questing) (described in C&P as "innocent" p. 110; "servile", p. 116; simple-minded, p. 129); tends to be wandering or abducted heroine; may include Pandora episode frequently associated with pregnancy.
Invisible Husband/Monster husband/Questionable Husband:
"Beast", p. 131; "snake", p. 131; "eat you alive", p. 131; "fiendish reptile," p. 115; "poisonous snake," p. 115.
This is a husband of contradictory elements: see the ambiguous oracle, the sisters' descriptions, Venus's tirade, discussions of the goddesses; However, in Psyche's nocturnal pleasures and in her stolen perceptions, different aspects emerge. Perhaps Cupid is a coincidentia oppositorum symbol: a symbol of the paradoxical union of contradictory characteristics. To be seen in folktale in simplified forms (e.g. Beast and Bluebeard)
Terrible Mother:
Vengeful, irrational, jealous, implacable, whether as mother, step-mother, queen, witch, goddess). Mozart's Queen of the Night is such a figure lifted directly from German folklore.
Invisible/Kindly/Supernatural Helpers:
In traditional literature, whether mythic or romantic, these tend to manifest supernatural or otherworldly traits; while they sometimes seem to personify the natural world, perhaps they imply the sweetness or benevolence of earthly life; sometimes they suggest transcendental or atemporal realities, perhaps invoking the ideal world, or perhaps the illusoriness of worldly suffering.
In realistic or naturalistic fiction (mimetic literature), invisible/kindly/supernatural helpers tend to be merely quaint, folksy, menial, very old, foreign, even handicapped; they seem to be emphatically non-modern, anti-historical, vehicles of traditional wisdom. Like their counterparts in myth and romance, they also seem to imply either the sweetness of earthly life or the proximity of the timeless.
Jungian mythological critics (see E. Neumann) tend to interpret both types of Mysterious helper as representations of psychological elements involved in the process of individuation or maturation, both on conscious and unconscious levels.
Mysterious, Menacing or Neutral Supernatural BeingsCharacteristics:
Opposite of the above: natural, supernatural elements that cannot be implored to help, will not render assistance, may be dangerous, deadly, fatal.
Three unhelpful goddesses: Ceres (p. 127), Juno (p. 128), Venus, Old Habit (p. 131), Anxiety and Grief (p.132), Golden sheep (p. 134), "Illusions"—Three weaving women (p. 138), Lame man with lame ass (p. 139), Putrid corpse (p. 138-139), Charon (p. 140), Cerberus, the three-headed dog (p. 140), Proserpine (p. 139), gossipy sea-gull (p. 123), Mercury (p. 130-131), Jupiter (p. 141)
Mythic PlacesCharacteristics:
Places distinguished by the presence of a god, goddess or supernatural entity.
Plots, Subplots, Events, MotifsCharacteristics:
Draws upon ancient, religious, authorized, sources and tends to be repeated, ritualistically

17' TYPE 1AA LITTLE GIANT LADDERContact: email@example.com (Leticia White)
Includes a Free Work Platform & DVD!!
Includes the NEW Tip n Glide Wheels installed!
Little Giant Ladder logo"One ladder does it all."
Now with Tip n Glide wheels on the Type 1AA model!
The Little Giant Ladder Type 1AA is now available
with the patented Tip n Glide wheels.
There is no need to lug a heavy ladder
around anymore, not when the Little Giant
Ladder Type 1AA is now available with wheels!
Just Tip.... and Glide! What could be easier!
CAUTION! Beware of the Little Giant Ladder imitators that claim their ladder is "similar" to a Little Giant, but use cheap components or cut corners in the manufacturing process. For example, some imitators use skimpy single pass welds to attach the rungs to the ladder. These skimpy welds meet the basic minimum to pass OSHA requirements, but don't expect them to last long. Even more shocking however is that many of the imitators are now using a newer and cheaper process where they smash flat the ends of the outer rungs and then rivet them to the ladder. They are smashed flat on the ends to make it easier and cheaper to rivet them on the ladder. Little Giant doesn't cut corners during the manufacturing process to save a few bucks, they use double pass welds which is a more expensive process, but produces a higher quality product. Little Giant outer rungs won't become loose and rickety over time like riveted rungs, and they won't weaken and fail like skimpy single pass welds can. Little Giant has been building this quality ladder here in the USA for over 30 years! They are the original, and they are the best! Don't be fooled by a cheaper price by the competition, because in the long run you'll get exactly what you pay for! REMEMBER THAT THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY REMAINS LONG AFTER THE SWEETNESS OF THE PRICE FADES AWAY.
Little Giant Ladder Work Platform Little Giant Ladder Work Platform Little Giant Ladder Work Platform
The Little Giant Work Platform attaches to any rung of the Little Giant Ladder. It has a 300 lb. capacity (250lb capacity with Type I ladder), enabling a workman to stand erect and use both hands while on the ladder. After placing it on the ladder, you slide it forward, climb past it, and then slide it back with your foot. It's a great standing platform, and very comfortable for your feet. It also serves as a tool platform. Our most popular accessory! Model #104.
This one ladder does all this...

Ry Cooder
+ Joachim Cooder
Ry Cooder once likened his playing – a sublime amalgam of American folk and blues, Hawaiian slack-key guitar, the Tex-Mex zest of conjunto and the regal sensuality of Afro-Cuban son – as "some kind of steam device gone out of control".
Cooder's life on guitar has been distinguished by a rare mix of archaic fundamentals and exploratory passion, from his emergence as a teenage blues phenomenon with Taj Mahal and Captain Beefheart in the mid-Sixties to his roots-and-noir film soundtracks and central role in the birth and success of the 1996 Havana supersession Buena Vista Social Club.
Cooder has brought true grit and emotional nuance to classic albums by Randy Newman, The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. Cooder is also a soulful preservationist, keeping vital pasts alive and dynamic in the modern world. A good example: the night Bob Dylan showed up at Cooder's house asking for a lesson on how to play guitar like the bluesman Sleepy John Estes.
Not to be missed.
Age restriction: 5+. Under 14s to be accompanied by an adult.
Set times:
6pm: venue doors open
7pm-7.30pm: Joachim Cooder

Brian Maffly, The Salt Lake Tribune
Utah has a new player looking to unlock the Uinta Basin's Eocene bounty of oil shale.
London-based TomCo Energy on Monday filed papers with the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining proposing large mining operations on state land in the southeast corner of Uintah County.
TomCo licensed a new extraction technology from Red Leaf Resources, which has recently lined up its permits and expects to begin mining Uinta Basin shale this spring. If successful, Red Leaf's mine near Seep Ridge would be the nation's first commercial oil shale operation after a century of attempts.
Red Leaf's EcoShale method places hydrocarbon-bearing ore in lined pits where it is cooked at 725 degrees for 210 days. The process converts, or "retorts," solid kerogen — found in a slice of the Green River Formation that geologists call the Mahogany Ledge — into liquid petroleum.
"It is more environmentally friendly, requires less water, has less emissions and the quality of the oil is better," said TomCo publicist Ed Portman, comparing the EcoShale process with an established shale retort process proposed elsewhere in the basin.
Enefit American Oil, a state-owned Estonian company, hopes to operate such a retort plant to work shale extracted on private land not far from TomCo's leasehold near the Colorado state line.
But environmentalists vow to fight development of Utah's vast oil shale resource, which some believe is an unacceptably dirty fossil fuel source regardless of how it's processed.
This is because the shale must be strip mined, then heated to high temperatures, thus spewing far more greenhouse gases than conventional oil extraction. The EcoShale method could contaminate groundwater, according to environmental groups that intend to appeal the state Division of Water Quality's recent Red Leaf permit. (…)

CBS News is reporting that the U.S. is "making the initial preparations for a cruise missile attack on Syrian government forces." Specifically, the commander of the U.S. naval forces in the Mediterranean ordered U.S. naval warships to move closer to Syria in preparation for the possible strike. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey will reportedly present options for a strike to the White House tomorrow. At time of writing, no other news outlets have picked up the story.
A healthy dose of caution should apply here. Preparing for a possible strike is not the same thing as planning to strike. Despite evidence of a large-scale chemical weapons attack earlier this week, President Obama seems extremely reluctant about the idea of intervening in Syria, telling CNN just this morning that "we're still gathering information about this particular event" and that "if the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it."
It seems likely that positioning the warships is simply a bit of theater meant to convince Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that the United States means business. None of the other gradual escalations the U.S. has announced in the year since Obama declared the use of chemical weapons to be his "red line" seems to have had much of an impact on the regime's behavior, but perhaps the hope is that armed warships in the neighborhood will finally get the message across.
As I noted on Wednesday, Assad's strategy for dealing with the international community seems to be that as long as he keeps the escalation of carnage gradual, the strong opposition to intervention in Western capitals and Western publics will keep him safe. It's a gamble that has paid off for him so far. Obama is obviously extremely reluctant to intervene and seems to have only become more so as the conflict has worn on and the nature of the rebel forces has become more uncertain. But as Muammar Qaddafi learned two years ago, the president does have a breaking point.
In the event that this is actually the prelude to an intervention, it seems worth pointing out that the horrific damage done to Syrian infrastructure, the influx of foreign fighters into the country, and the gradual internationalization of the conflict will likely make the consequences of such an operation even messier than they would have been two years ago. Also, if Assad's back is to the wall, he may be even more likely to employ the worst weapons he has at his disposal.

Real Madrid set club record with 16th consecutive win
Benzema diverted a Cristiano Ronaldo centre past goalkeeper Carlos Kameni in the 18th minute at the Rosaleda and Bale finished off a swift break, in which Ronaldo was also involved, seven minutes from time.
Former Malaga midfielder Isco was dismissed in the 86th minute and the hosts pulled a goal back in stoppage time when Roque Santa Cruz nodded past Iker Casillas.
Real have 33 points from 13 matches and the victory helped them surpass their previous best of 15 successive wins in all competitions set in 1960-61 and 2011-12.
Carlo Ancelotti's men have won all their games since a 2-1 league defeat at home to champions Atletico Madrid in September.
"It's always a very tough match here," Real full back Marcelo told Spanish television.
"We managed to beat the record but with a lot of work and commitment from the team," added the Brazil international. "Our main objective is to carry on winning each game."
Barca can trim the deficit to two points at fourth-placed Valencia on Sunday when Atletico, third on 26 points, host promoted Deportivo La Coruna.
Qatar-owned Malaga, who are sixth, put up a fight against the European champions and after Benzema's opener they came close to an equaliser two minutes before halftime when a long-range free kick by captain Duda clipped the top of the crossbar.
Real took control in the second period and Kameni, who earlier produced a brilliant point-blank save to deny Bale, had to race off his line to block an Isco shot in the 56th minute.
Santa Cruz headed a corner narrowly over in the 67th before Kameni conjured another stunning save when a defensive error gifted possession to Ronaldo in the centre of the penalty area.
The Portugal captain sent a low shot towards the corner but Kameni flung out an arm to palm the ball away.
Isco's return to his home city ended badly when he received a second yellow card although he was given a rousing ovation by the Malaga fans as he trudged off the pitch.
"I think Madrid deserved the victory," said Cameroon international Kameni. "We showed today that we deserve a lot of credit and we have achieved great things in the opening part of the season."
Elsewhere, Celta Vigo missed a chance to climb above Malaga and draw level on 23 points with fifth-placed Sevilla when they lost 1-0 at home to Eibar, who moved up to 10th on 16 points.
Athletic Bilbao continued their revival after a poor start with a 2-1 win at Getafe that put them level on 18 points with eighth-placed Villarreal who visit Cordoba on Sunday.
Espanyol climbed to 11th, four points behind Villarreal and Bilbao, thanks to a 2-1 victory at home to 15th-placed Levante in teeming rain in Barcelona. (Reuters)

Many others games described or designed as Mahjong or Mahjongg games do use the digitized form of the original Chinese checkers, but these games are usually meant for only one person and are similar to the game of Patience in terms of their rules. The game is thus often called Mah-Jongg Solitaire. From the mid 1980s, the board game of Mah-Jongg Solitaire was known as a popular computer game initially under the name Shanghai. In the popular computer game version of this Mahjongg game, one player has to take all 144 mahjong tiles off the table in pairs, therein a game piece may only be removed if the game piece is not covered in part or in full by any other Mahjong stone and at least one long side of the stone is exposed. Traditionally, Mahjongg tiles are built in the formation of a Chinese figurine of a dragon or a turtle, but the computer game versions of Mahjongg often offer many different starting figures. Our Mahjong challenges feature fun graphics, exciting sounds, and plenty of board variations.
