TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - Just in time for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and the holiday season, Stacy Brown, a Canadian single mom, dives into the tech world with the launch of Tinselit.com, a revolutionary event and gift registry site that helps simplify the world of parties and entertaining, while allowing guests to take the guessing out of gifting.
"After attending countless children's birthday parties with my daughter and organizing my own events, I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of online gift registry options. I realized that it truly would be easier if you could do everything in one place, regardless of the type of event," Stacy states.
Tinselit.com is your one-stop-shop for any special occasion you want to create. By following 4 simple steps, you can create an event, add your wish list and invite your friends via social media.
It is also possible to purchase your gifts and items directly from the site through Amazon. And, Tinselit.com is not just for holidays and gifts, Stacy declares.
"The site can be utilized to simplify any significant occasion in one's life. Best of all, guests can view what other friends are requesting for wishes to take the guessing out of gifting. Tinselit.com can help make any wish come true!"
Guests of your event can purchase gifts as well as confirm attendance to your event right on the site, simplifying the online invite and gift buying process.
Coming soon the Tinselit App!

This morning I was on London's Regent Street, so I thought I'd promenade up and down (from Oxford Circus, South to Piccadilly Circus) and check which of the mega brands here acknowledge their digital presence in window displays.
That's just the shop window, I didn't go into the store (incidently, West End stores have been slow to adopt in-store tech). In this instance I just wanted to see who pointed online from their front of store merchandising.
I was quite surprised. Some were good, and some were simple and clear. Others were token, and plenty didn't mention online at all.

The Braves' No. 6 prospect teamed with No. 5 prospect Christian Bethancourt to dominate on the mound, but Mississippi lost to the Mobile BayBears, 1-0.
Gilmartin allowed leadoff singles to Marc Krauss and Archie Gilbert in the second and sixth innings, respectively. The left-hander, who said he was troubled at times by his fastball command, retired 11 straight in between the base knocks. He did not strike out or walk a batter.
"I'm always going to be around the zone," Gilmartin said. "That's just me making my pitches."
Gilmartin threw 43 of 71 pitches in the strike zone. He said he would like to throw 80-90 pitches in his next outing.
Atlanta selected Gilmartin with the 28th overall pick in the 2011 Draft. The Florida State product made his first six pro appearances between the Gulf Coast and South Atlantic leagues last year. He also pitched in eight Arizona Fall League games, going 2-1 with a 4.34 ERA and a 26-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Gilmartin spent much of his time in the greater Phoenix area alongside Bethancourt, who also was a member of the Surprise Saguaros.
"We worked together a lot in Arizona," Gilmartin said of Bethancourt, who batted .306 with five homers in 19 AFL games. "He knows me pretty well and I know him pretty well. We had good chemistry tonight."
Bethancourt also contributed at the plate, not simply behind it. The 20-year-old Panamanian singled twice in four at-bats but was left stranded each time.
"The guy can flat-out hit," Gilmartin said. "I wouldn't be surprised if he hits double-digit homers in this league."
Oh, and one other thing.
"He has one of the best throwing arms I have ever seen," Gilmartin added.
BayBears starter Derek Eitel allowed four hits and issued two walks but left after four shutout innings. Bryan Henry and Kevin Munson (1-0) each worked two scoreless frames before Matt Gorgen earned the save in the ninth.
The defending Southern League champions scored the game's lone run in the top of the ninth, when Krauss' two-out single off reliever Mark Lamm brought Adam Eaton home from third. Like Bethancourt, Krauss went 2-for-4.

This is the University of Aberdeen Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF2014) website. The site contains key information relating to the REF2014.
The REF2014 is a sector-wide assessment exercise of publicly funded research in the UK. The REF2014 replaces the Research Assessment Exercise, which last took place in 2008 (RAE2008). All Universities that receive funding from any of the Higher Education Funding Councils are invited to present selected research for assessment in to the REF2014 exercise. The assessment is carried out by panels of peers and research users in 36 subject areas, referred to in the REF2014 as Units of Assessment. In total there are four Main Panels and 36 sub-Panels. The exercise is selective, with the expectation that institutions will select only excellent work for submission, and not all research. At the end of the assessment, each institution will receive a quality profile for each Unit of Assessment to which it submitted.
The University's REF2014 submission will be coordinated at both College level and centrally, and will be overseen by the institutional REF2014 Steering Group.
The definition of research within a REF2014 context, as given by HEFCE in the Assessment Framework and Guidance on Submissions document, is as follows:
The REF2014 is hugely important for a number of reasons. First, it allows for benchmarking standards of research against other institutions across the sector within the UK. This brings with it a reputational issue, and should be seen as an opportunity for research Units within the University to demonstrate their research excellence. The quality profile achieved by the University in the REF2014 will also inform the block research grant allocation it receives from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) from 2015 onwards.
For any additional information on the REF2014, please visit the HEFCE REF2014 website.
The REF2014 will assess three key research areas, as follows:
The most important of these is the assessment of research outputs. Each academic member of staff who is selected for submission will normally have to provide four research outputs for inclusion. These will be assessed by the sub-Panels. Approximately half of the sub-Panels (mainly in the STEM subjects) will take into account the citation counts of the submitted research outputs to inform their decisions. Assessment of research outputs will account for 65% of each submission's overall quality rating. The citation counts will be provided to the REF panels via Scopus, and will refer to the research outputs submitted.
After the research output element of the assessment exercise, the non-academic impact of research is the next most significant area to be assessed. This will also be assessed by Unit of Assessment, via submission of a pre-determined number of "impact case studies" (number of case studies varying dependant on FTE per Unit) and by assessing how the research environment and research strategy within each Unit supports and facilitates non-academic research impact. The assessment of research impact is new to the REF2014 and will account for 20% of the overall quality profile within each Unit.
The research output and impact elements of each submission will be accompanied by a narrative which describes the research environment of each Unit of Assessment. The "research environment" element of the assessment accounts for 15% of each submission. The research environment element assesses research facilities, research strategy, research metrics, career development opportunities, with particular emphasis on early career researchers and postgraduate students, and on equality and diversity issues.
For further information on how submissions will be assessed, please access;
Alternatively, these documents are available on the HEFCE website
For the overall quality profile for each Unit of Assessment the quality ratings are as follows:
Rating |
Definition |
4* |
Quality that is world leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour |
3* |
Quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour but which falls short of the highest standards of excellence |
2* |
Quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour |
1* |
Quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour |
Unclassified |
Quality that falls below the standard of nationally recognised work. Or work which does not meet the published definition of research for the purposes of this assessment |
For each of the three elements of the assessment – outputs, impact and environment – sub-panels will develop a sub-profile, showing the proportion of the submission that meets each of four starred quality levels.
Final decisions on the selection of staff for submission to the exercise will be made by the institutional REF2014 Steering Group, in consultation with the Colleges. The REF2014 Steering Group has overarching responsibility for managing and coordinating the University's submission to the REF2014. Decisions on inclusion for submission will be based entirely on research quality.
In making decisions on inclusion, the University, via the REF2014 Steering Group, will adhere to its internal REF2014 Equality and Diversity Code of Practice, as required by the Funding Councils. The University's REF2014 Equality and Diversity Code of Practice was approved via the University Court at its meeting on 6 December 2011 and has now been submitted to the national REF2014 Team (HEFCE) for formal approval.
The University has developed a detailed schedule for preparing for the REF2014 submission. This schedule is aligned to the HEFCE schedule, as released by the HEFCE REF Team, and is regularly updated to reflect progress and changing demands. The University timetable is managed by the institutional REF2014 Steering Group, and can be accessed via the link below:
The REF2014 recognises that, for some members of staff, personal circumstances during the assessment period may have significantly constrained their ability to conduct research and produce the required number of research outputs for submission. Where this is the case, the number of outputs to be returned may be reduced.
The REF2014 Assessment Framework and Guidance on Submissions document sets out the circumstances in which fewer than four outputs may be selected. The REF2014 differentiates between clearly defined and more complex individual circumstances. Clearly defined circumstances have been given as follows:
The REF2014 team have published details on the permitted number of reductions in relation to these circumstances.
Circumstances that are more complex and require a judgement about the appropriate number of outputs that can be reduced without penalty have been given as follows:
For staff with more complex individual circumstances, the institutional REF2014 Steering Group will be required to make a judgement on the appropriate reduction in the number of outputs required, and to provide a rationale for this judgement when making their submission. The final decision on whether to accept any case put forward by a submitting Unit will rest with the REF2014 Manager.
Staff who have individual circumstances which need to be taken in to consideration for the REF2014 must complete and return the Individual Staff Circumstances Disclosure Form.
For further information on individual staff circumstances, please see:
The University will be using Pure, our research information system, to manage the collation of selected research outputs for submission to the REF2014. This will be done by use of the "REF2014 Module" in Pure (designed specifically to facilitate online submission to the REF2014). The REF2014 Module will allow staff to propose research outputs for submission, and will allow Unit of Assessment leads and others involved in the preparation of the submission to manage the selected outputs element (REF 2) online. We hope to submit all elements of REF 2 directly from Pure into the REF2014 submission system.
This means that the information on all publications submitted will have been validated by the University Library, and we have the option to include full texts of outputs from the University repository, AURA. The system relies on academic staff keeping the information on research publications in PURE within the REF2014 assessment period (1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013) up to date, either by adding new publications manually or enabling the self import functionality within the system (which currently enables self import and scanning services from Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed and the University of Aberdeen Library Catalogue).
Please find a number of documents key REF2014 below.
In order to access the additional documentation on Impact listed below, as released by HEFCE following the Impact Pilot Exercise (2010);
Please visit the following link: http://www.hefce.ac.uk/research/ref/impact/
This section of University REF2014 web-pages will be regularly updated with internal information and supplements relating to the University's preparations for the REF2014.

1934 Hudson 8 Convertible Coupe available
If only I was in the US to be able to seriously consider this!! It's even 254³ 8!!
www.classicaccessories.org/ (look in "Cars for sale")
[attachment=8595]34 Hudson 8 Convertible coupe_2010-11-26.jpg[/attachment]Dave Y
New Zealand -
pretty sure this car was on the market 5 or 6 years ago..smashed by tree and way over priced last time it was marketed, and not complete..which would explain why it is still available now. others here may correct my flawed memory. regards, tom
just went to the site. yes, this is the exact same ad from years ago..in fact the other cars posted are familiar too. makes me think this operation is no longer an operation..so it wouldn't matter if you were in the states or not. regrds, tom -
Also, I believe the hood is actually from a 1933 Chrysler-not a Hudson hood.
This guy is very hard to deal with. I tried to buy some parts from him a few years ago. He is in Santa Barbara, CA. After mucho emails, phones calls, etc., we arranged a meeting time and I got stood up!
I just had a very frustrating experience with this guy trying to buy a pair of tail lights off eBay. I was willing to pay the "buy now" price just wanted a few details on condition. Asked some questions most of which weren't answered. Then it took a couple emails for him to clarify that he had sold one of them already. But would sell the remaining one for 80% of the pair asking price!
If this is the guy I spoke to at that number (a couple years ago), his name is Lassen and lived in Orange, Connecticut back in 1970. I also lived in Connecticut at the time and was shopping for a mid-thirties convertible. He had a '35 Dodge convertible for sale and I drove down to see it. I finally decided against that Dodge, opting instead to buy a '37 Terraplane convertible a year later. I still own it.
The guy I was communicating with identified himself as Roy.
And yes that hood doesn't look right. I believe the side vents should be horizontial.
Nice looking 37!

Roger McCoy named ALMH September Employee of the Month
Send a link to a friend
[September 25, 2013] Roger McCoy of Normal has been named the September Employee of the Month at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln. McCoy works as a charge nurse in the emergency department. He has worked for ALMH for over 13 years in total and has over 30 years of experience in emergency medicine.
Being an emergency nurse is diverse and unpredictable. All ages with both emergent and non-emergent issues from toothaches to heart attacks enter the emergency room.

I'll leave that to the "Joss is Boss" crowd who will praise whatever he does, and the "dark is better" crowd. Hooray for ya'll that BDM SERENITY took FIREFLY in that direction, but I'm not interested, engaged or entertained.

Help me out with your ideas - often a bunch of new projects will enter my world during the day, and I'll forget to put them on my projects list. I remember to add the new thing as a next action: (i.e., "JONES TRUST AMENDMENT: talk to Sally re xyz"), but I don't remember to also go to my project list and add it as a new project. It seems duplicative to have to add the item in two places.
Is the place these get caught the weekly review? When I go over my todo lists? But that depends on me seeing the todo and knowing that it isn't on my projects list - not guaranteed that I'll notice it.
Am I approaching the project list wrong?
I also have the added complication that my boss wants me to give him, every other week, a chart showing each of his clients, the status of that client's work from the previous week, and the current status. This forces me to create additional documentation - I do the list before our every-other-weekly meeting, by using my project list and searches using the "find" feature of the palm os to find @NAs for each client - but this is TEDIOUS! And, it seems like a time waster since it doesn't help with GTD any, but is just a format requested by boss. Oh. The list of projects for the boss's clients isn't but maybe 1/4 of my total list of projects (including personal).
Any ideas on how to make this easier?

Comments about New England Glider Bi-Pattern 10.2mm x 60m 2X-Dry Rope - 2012 Special Buy:
I've owned this rope for 2 years (70 m). I've used it for multi-pitch trad, ice routes, and sport climbs. I've never had any issues with it. No problems with kinks or coils. The rope is proving to be very durable and the sheath is holding up well. The bi-pattern design is a very convient on long pitches and when setting up rappels. Best rope I've owned or used yet. Great product!

We are a SAAS startup with an average MRR of $300. We are planning to have both in-house and outside sales agents (without salary but 20-30% commission). What is the sales commission model you recommend?
I found the following link helpful but it is for employed sales agents NOT for outside sales agents: http://cracking-the-code.blogspot.com/2009/01/building-your-saas-sales-compensation.html
Additional Context:
- We offer trial period of 30 days.
- If we retain a customer for 3 years, the LTV is approx $10K but if the client stays for 1 year it becomes $3.6K and some might end not renewing after trial period.

For painter Mark Rothko, "Art was drama," according to Dominique Vasseur, a curator at the Columbus Museum of Art.
It seems fitting, then, that its first major exhibit of works by the abstract master is timed to coincide with the CATCO production of a Broadway play about him.
Red, named for the color used by Rothko in his paintings in the play and as a metaphor for his emotional intensity, will begin performances on Feb. 13. The exhibit, "Mark Rothko: The Decisive Decade," opened Friday and continues through March 26.
"This is a great moment for people to experience one work of art — the play portraying him in the act of painting — and then come to the museum to see how Rothko got to the color-field paintings that are his mature work," Vasseur said.
The collaboration represents the latest example of the creative partnerships that are gaining momentum among the larger arts organizations in central Ohio.
Rothko (1903-70) was a Russian Jew (his given name was Marcus Rothkowitz) who immigrated to the United States with his family in 1913, when he was 10.
His work as an adult evolved from representational and mythological images to the rectangular fields of color and light that marked his enduring reputation.
Although he rejected the label, Rothko (along with Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning) was called an abstract expressionist, part of the rebellious art movement after World War II that disdained the figurative style.
"Rothko's abstract painting has its fans and detractors," said Nannette Maciejunes, museum executive director. "But Rothko, like Jackson Pollock, is a figure who has lodged himself in the American imagination. Rothko's explorations of color and emotion transformed painting.
Each picture, Maciejunes said, is distinct.
"Even all his red pictures are different, giving you a different emotive and spiritual experience."
The exhibit includes 27 Rothko paintings reflecting his transition in the 1940s from figurative work and symbolic imagery to his intense color fields of the 1950s and '60s.
To put his work into context, the exhibit includes paintings by his abstract-expressionist colleagues Milton Avery, Arshile Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, Morris Louis, Robert Motherwell and Pollock.
Maciejunes said the museum jumped at the chance to collaborate with CATCO on the Rothko-themed events.
"The community loves these collaborations," she said, "and we want to see the museum and CATCO working together."
Red — which in 2010 won six Tony awards, including one for best play — was written by John Logan, the Oscar- nominated screenwriter for The Aviator, Gladiator, Hugo and Skyfall.
"The play is so much about the nature of art," director Jimmy Bohr said. "The two characters spend the entire 90 minutes of the play arguing over visual art, what makes art and what is valid art."
Ultimately, Bohr said, Logan explores the role of art in our lives.
Kevin McClatchy plays Rothko in 1958 as he and an assistant prepare large color-field murals for a major commission at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York.
"We prime a canvas, and we mix the paint," McClatchy said.
"Rothko had a pretty unique process to achieve the kind of color he wanted. It wasn't just buying paint. He'd make it in his studio with a mixture of things and stretch the canvas across the frame.
"What's really interesting is how the audience gets to see the practical reality of art at work."

Science Of Theft: Freeze A Bike Lock With Canned Air, Then Smash It With A Hammer
The fatal flaw of bike locks: Freezing one makes it easy to bust open. Check out video of some DIY bike theft inside.
Strong, hard, tough. These sound like different ways of saying the same thing, perhaps describing a really good suitcase. But when applied to the physical properties of materials, each of these words has a very specific technical meaning that distinguishes it from the others. And those definitions explain why it's so difficult to make a bicycle lock that can foil thieves.
Imagine a chain made of diamond. It would be impossible to cut with any hacksaw, but it could easily be defeated with a brick. Diamond is hard, but also brittle, much like glass. What diamond lacks is toughness: the ability to absorb energy without failing. A chain made of rubber would be far tougher in the technical sense. You could pound it for hours with a brick without breaking it. But it would not be hard enough to resist cutting.
It's actually not possible to make the hardest material also very tough. Harder materials can't yield to absorb energy and then spring back the way softer ones can. Their hardness means it requires less energy to break them. Take steel, for example. Bike-lock cables are made of very tough steel. You can't easily break a cable by hammering it. But compared with the high-carbon steel used to make tools, it's very soft, so it can be cut with a hacksaw.
Good locks are case-hardened, which means they have a hard but brittle outer layer protecting a tougher, softer inner core. But savvy thieves know that even good locks have a fatal flaw: Nearly any material, including steel, becomes less flexible when it's very cold. Although it doesn't lose any tensile strength—defined as how much force is needed to break it—the loss of flexibility makes it less tough.
When cooled to –13°F with canned air spray (actually the compressed chemical difluoroethane), even very tough locks become brittle enough to smash open with a hammer. So there isn't much that lock manufacturers can do to finally put an end to their long war with bike thieves. In the meantime, you might consider just taking your bike inside with you.
My bicycle lock and chain is covered with 1/3" thick pad of cloth made of nomex, neoprene, cotton and kevlar.
I made it because I didn't want the lock to rust, Also, sometimes I park my bike in the sun which makes it really freakin'hot.
One day, I found the cloth around the lock feeling wet, cold and partially ripped. Now I understand why! Thank you Popsci. I didn't know I invented something theft resistant! :)
This method has been around for a while, but really a cordless 4-inch angle grinder with a metal blade will go through a Kryptonite in about 3 seconds. I know because I used one to get my bike free after I had lost the last key, and because the locksmith wanted to charge me 90 bucks to cut it with a Dremel. I rented the grinder for 11 dollars for one hour at Home Depot. FYI...and yes your bike will be stolen if someone wants it bad enough. I had a $900 Cycle Craft cruiser stolen from my friends wake here in Austin,TX.
Lame... the canned air didn't bring down the temp of the steel enough to smash it. Only after an off camera dip in some liquid nitrogen was the lock able to be compromised. Don't worry, thieves are not going to be carrying around pails of liquid nitrogen just to steal a bike. I'm sure they'd be using it to smash something more valuable. Considering what a headache it is to obtain liquid nitrogen in the first place, AND handle it safely.
To achieve the best results with canned air spray, hold the bottle upside down. Also, I hear that rubbing alcohol poured into a cup with dry ice gets real cold (dangerous though, don't touch it because it will stick to you). Cold enough to smash a lock? I dunno. Anyway Liqued Nitrogen.. you can't just buy it unless you go through some sort of formal process I think. Anyway I just thought I'd put that out there...
This is total BS.
And even if it isn't, when do you have a bike lock in a position on a work bench the way they show it so you can easily freeze the lock and then hit it with a hammer ?
Never ?
I had a krypto lock I lost the key for, and mind you, this is like 20 years ago. I bought freon, froze the lock, and blasted it with a hammer: Nothing !
And here I should note, I've worked as a carpenter so I know how to swing a hammer.
Thought I'd done something wrong and so bought a second can and had a friend come with me, he emptied the can on the lock and I immediately went to work with the hammer, and again NOTHING !
I hit the lock until it began to damage the frame of the bike.
PopSci = fail
I would be faster and quieter just to pick the lock.
Those crappy ulocks I can pick in less than 10 seconds.
Back in high school I made and sold a little lock spinner.
with just a couple of twists you could open any cylinder lock.
For the less skilled you can even pick those locks with a bic pin..
i worked in bicycle shops for years and this is one of those things we had all heard of but none of us had ever personally dealt with.to me the problem with stealing a bike this way is the destructive nature of using a hammer as a lock pick.the force has to go somewhere and the u lock is wrapped around the hollow tubing of the bicycle as well as what it's locked to so all it takes is one mistake and the bicycle is ruined.plus it means buying the freezing agent and carrying around a hammer and then trying to do all that stuff on a street corner without anyone noticing.good luck. sonnygrunt is right. you can do this with a 50 dollar cordless angle grinder from home depot and you can do it in a count to five.
in my experience most bicycles are stolen from peoples' yards and garages with the occasional act of carelessness thrown in.your best bet is to lock it on a busy street and endeavor to bring it in at night.i don't know who to attribute this quote to; "locks only keep the honest people out."

How to Restore a Backup & Migrate file using Drush
Hello folks.
Today I will share with you my experience restoring a Backup created with the module Backup & Migrate using drush.
0. Create your backup
You must use the Backup & Migrate module to genereate a new backup and copy it to your new instance where you plan to restore your backup.
1. Allocate the backup in the proper location.
One of the common problems is to put your backup file in the correct location , so that it can be recognized by Backup & Migrate Module.
Using Drush Interface you can determine the correct location.
First we need to check which are the available destinations.
#drush bam-destinations ID Name Operations manual Manual Backups Directory manual backup, restore, list files, configure, delete scheduled Scheduled Backups Directory scheduled backup, restore, list files, configure, delete download Download manual backup upload Upload restore db Default Database configure, source f273c00b06d3d6018151817d16c6b55b ftp.site.net scheduled backup, manual backup, restore, list files, configure, delete
For this example we will use manual destination, using Drush and SQL we will determine the exact location.
#drush sqlc mysql>select destination_id,name,type,location from backup_migrate_destinations; +----------------------------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | destination_id | name | type | location | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | f273c00b06d3d6018151817d16c6b55b | ftp.site.net | ftp | ftp://server.com:21/backup | | manual | Manual Backups Directory | file_manual | sites/www.site.com/files/backup_migrate/manual | +----------------------------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------------------------------------------------+
Off course the next step will be to copy our backup to sites/www.site.com/files/backup_migrate/manual, relative to our Drupal Installation.
2. Confirm our backup is available
After we had copied our backup, we need to confirm that our backup is now available to use as restore source.
#drush bam-backups manual Filename Date Age Size Domain-2012-03-22T09-36-03.mysql.gz Mar 22 2012 - 10:47am 1 min 4.83 MB
3. Restore the backup
Now we just need the request of restoring our backup.
#drush bam-restore db manual Domain-2012-03-22T09-36-03.mysql.gz ……. // A lot of sql messages Default Database restored from Manual Backups Directory file Domain-2012-03-22T09-36-03.mysql in 47394.37 ms. 23534 SQL commands executed. [success]
Enjoy It

Good afternoon,
I am new to this community but consider myself a seasoned writer and player. I wouldn't go so far as to say I am one of "advanced" players here, but I value creating, participating in, and reading compelling stories. Role play as a form of escapism and expression has always held a small, but vital portion of my life. I feel that through these stories, raw feelings, thoughts, and emotions can be expressed and shared in a public setting. It is a place like this that one can learn the merit of their work and give measure to their innermost qualities. This place is a playground of minds and I hope to eventually find this place a cozy paradise from the chaos of the daily grind.
I have role played since my early teens and had a knack for writing since I could put the pen to paper. I'm out of college now, and I sorely miss the years of passing around a spiral notebook - the ancient method of text-based role play. Those traditions are sadly dust in the winds of time. I primarily played stories of fantasy and adventure with a tasteful splash of romance and drama. Since then, I have desired to dabble in the genres of sci fi and realism. I am open to all avenues of writing from the darkest corners of the mind, to the care-free musings of harmless shenanigans. I take creativity and critique with open arms and approach all challenges with determination.
I hope to contribute in some mediocre way to this community and anxiously look forward to experiencing what everyone has to offer first hand. Feel free to ask me any questions to get to know me better. If you have advice or tips for a newcomer, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time and interest.

Can vitamins help prevent a heart attack?
Can taking vitamins help prevent heart disease or a heart attack?
from Martha Grogan, M.D.
It's uncertain whether taking vitamins can reduce your risk of developing heart disease or having a heart attack. However, no matter what type of vitamins you take, vitamins won't prevent the development of heart disease if you don't control your other risk factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Some researchers think that certain vitamins, such as vitamins C and E, may reduce your heart disease risk. These vitamins may help prevent low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol from producing plaques that can narrow your heart's arteries. The evidence for this benefit is limited, and the American Heart Association doesn't recommend taking vitamin C and E supplements as a way to prevent heart disease.
Another vitamin that might improve your heart health is vitamin D. There's some evidence that vitamin D improves the health of your blood vessels, but nothing conclusive yet. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about your vitamin D level.
Vitamins can be an option for some people, especially if you're not getting enough nutrition from your diet. However, most generally healthy people don't need to take a daily vitamin because they get all the nutrients they need from their food. If you're concerned about your nutrition and diet, talk with your doctor about whether taking a daily vitamin might be a good option for you.

The trick to college selection is finding the best college for you. It is helpful to compare the college selection process to a funnel. When you first start the process, you are at the large end of the funnel. You may not be quite sure what career you want to pursue or what college you want to attend. You are not alone: most first-year students are undecided. So relax and let's look at some ways to help you get to the narrow end of the funnel.
Before you get started, you may want to take inventory of your skills, interests and values. This will help you determine where you fit and what majors you may want to pursue. Ask yourself: What am I good at? What classes do I most enjoy? How are my grades and standardized test scores? What is important to me in a career?
Ideally, you should start the process in the winter of your junior year of high school, if not earlier. Starting early gives you more time to explore your options and can minimize stress. Here are some factors you may want to consider when developing your list of prospective colleges.
If you think that you want to be an engineer, a writer, or a fashion designer, the search process may be a little easier because you can search for schools that offer that major. If you are undecided about your future, look for schools with the most flexibility.
back to top
Some students thrive in large, fast paced environments, while others prefer small classes and more personalized attention. The student-teacher ratio is a good indicator of class size. The total number of students can give you an idea of the size of the college.
Some students feel more comfortable staying close to home while others want to experience college in a new and distant place. Think about whether you will be happier in an urban, suburban or rural location. Consider whether you would be better served, based on your major, in a city or in a rural environment.
Generally, you should not eliminate colleges based on the sticker price alone. Sometimes, the amount of financial aid that is offered will make even the most expensive college affordable. However, you should apply to at least one college that is reasonably affordable for your family.
The opportunity for most students to participate in Division I or Division II intercollegiate athletics is relatively slim. You need to do an honest self-assessment of your athletic skills. Many college coaches will recruit athletes they believe to be the best fit for their team. If you feel strongly about your talent and you have not been contacted by a coach, reach out to them directly and provide them with an athletic resume.
Most colleges offer various intramural programs and Division III athletic programs are often less competitive than Division I and Division II sports. Check with the college admission or athletic office to get an idea of what is offered.
Look into the characteristics of the current student body and the school's acceptance rate. Admission policies range from open admission, where students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, to highly selective policies where only a small percentage of students are accepted.
Do you want to attend a school where your background is similar to that of other students or would you prefer an environment with a broader range of students across many ethnicities, religions and interests? Would you rather attend a single sex college or enroll at a co-ed university? What about a historically black college or Hispanic serving institution?
Would you like to join a club, organization, fraternity/sorority, or intramural athletics program at school? If it's important to you for your school to have a theatre program, orchestra, art club, mock trial program or some other extracurricular activity, then research schools that offer these activities.
Most schools require students to complete a core curriculum in addition to taking classes required in their major. Find out what classes will be mandatory at institutions that interest you. Also, look into the academic reputation of the school. Is it competitive? Relaxed? Think about where you best fit in.
Ask about the school's academic advising program. Does the school have a writing center or study center? Find out if the school has study abroad or campus exchange programs. If you know you want a school that offers these programs, then you can narrow down your search.
How accessible are the classes you need/want to take? What are the procedures for class registration? Are the classes taught by professors or graduate students? Get an idea of how many students are in a class on average. If you are able to, take a look at the school's course catalog to see what they offer.
If you are planning on living at school, try to stay overnight in the dorms to get a better idea of student life. Find out how rooms and roommates are assigned to students. Ask about the quality of food at the dining halls and inquire about the menu options.

Announcement from Independent:
Award-winning director at Independent, Cary Fukunaga, has created the epic new trailer for 180 Amsterdam and the European launch of the Sony PS Vita console.
Already receiving hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, the film is a one-minute blockbuster of high voltage action, depicting its protagonists in a series of game-like sequences as the edges between their real and gaming worlds grow more and more blurred using the PS Vita.
Having won both critical and commercial acclaim as the director of films including Jane Eyre and Sin Nombre, as well as for high profile campaigns for Levis, Cary was the natural choice as director of the campaign for PS Vita, the latest handheld console from Sony. Moving away from the handicraft style of previous campaigns for Sony Playstation, Cary's filmic vision has produced an ad that captures in breathtaking cinematic style the pervasive function of the PS Vita. Filming on location in Prague, the ad features real gamers, auditioned and hired through gaming circles, and follows them on journeys that take them from tube trains to battlefields and beaches to boxing rings. The result is a mini movie-masterpiece that would break box office records!

There is no One True Secret of happiness, love, productivity, or anything else
My favourite bit of "meta-advice" – advice on how to deal with the advice that rains down on us from friends, books, columns like this – comes from the novelist Rick Moody. He happened to be talking about writing routines, a topic with which I'm dangerously obsessed, but his wisdom applies to any work, and to relationships and life in general. "The insight I offer you is this," he told the Writeliving blog. "There's no one process, and as soon as I imagine some approach to generating work is foolproof, it becomes suddenly worthless to me, and I have to start over." If, like me, you're always fiddling with your work systems, reorganising your stuff, testing new tricks for cultivating habits… take comfort. One tactic works for a while, then the self-sabotaging part of your brain gets wise to what you're doing, and the cycle begins again. The problem isn't that you've failed to find the One True Secret of productivity, happiness or love. The problem is believing you ever might.

Windows services are critical processes that support required server functionality, such as Active Directory, email, DNS, automatic updates, etc. Sometimes Windows services fail to start or accidentally stop, and server administrators constantly have to keep an eye on such situations to prevent costly system outages and user productivity losses. One example is Microsoft Exchange Server, which has several services, such as Information Store and SMTP; the failure of even one of these services results in suspended e-mail delivery or even lost messages until the services are started again.

VIDEO: Justin Bieber Featured in Promo for This Week's SNL!
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, NBC, previews & teasers
Pop superstar Justin Bieber will serve as host and musical guest of this week's Saturday Night Live on NBC. Below, check out a promo for the show featuring Kenan Thompson!
"Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, enters its 38th season in September for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation; and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999: "In defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
The program has won 36 Emmy Awards and now holds the title for the most nominated television show in Emmy history with 156 nominations. "SNL" has been honored twice, in 1990 and 2009, with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and cited as "truly a national institution." "Saturday Night Live" was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall Of Fame by The National Association of Broadcasters, and the show continues to garner the highest ratings of any late-night television program, entertaining millions each week.
"SNL" sketches still bear repeating on Monday mornings. With live show surprises, especially those timed to the election - from Barack Obama's surprise walk-on, Hillary Clinton's performance opposite Amy Poehler, and Senator John McCain's "Weekend Update" appearance - "SNL" is making headlines and influencing the political dialogue while skewering it at the same time. Beyond politics, the show's cast of recurring characters and take on pop culture targets remains spot-on. The addition of the show's Emmy Award-winning SNL Digital Shorts continues to keep the show as current today as it was when it debuted.

In our group we found scuds. Most of the bugs were dead and all ripped up so that was pretty gross. Whenever we caught a scud since they were alive it was really hard to take pictures of it because they kept going around in circles. Other than that it was really cool.
p.s Sorry I didnt put any pictures on

Thanks for rating this design!
A fascinating site for a web designer and illustrator that's sure to divide opinion. The layout is intriguing but doesn't make good use of the screen real estate, I'm not convinced.
The illustrations, however, are great at making an impact and holding the attention of visitors.
