So yeah, that's me back in the heat of the summertime, walking around a nearby park that we've dubbed the "Holy River" to our family.
Instead of blogging, I've been a busy little bee writing Lord knows how many words per day, trading these thoughts for money that will continue to pay off my debts. Seeing as though it's already October and I didn't know exactly how much money I'd brought in thus far, I knew it was high time to figure it all out.
Therefore, I just downloaded all my Chase Bank account activity and PayPal activity from January 1st to September 30, 2014. That's how I've figured out I've brought home $29,845.20 from writing income in the first 9 months of the year, putting me on track to earn at least $40,000 or much more this year.
As you'll see from the numbers below, the Elance income rules the roost. I gave pretty detailed explanations of how to get started on Elance in this Amazon guide, so if you really want to know more detail about the process, check it out.
How I made nearly $30,000 in 9 months from writing online…
Okay, so here's the breakdown of who paid what and brief explanations to each.
AMAZON ASSOCIATES Total $227.28
If you can see links to Amazon products like my book above, you should know that Amazon provides participants in their Amazon Associates program with special links that pay us a cut of any income made when readers click through those links and buy the products.
AMAZON EUROPEAN UNION KINDLE BOOK SALES Total $602.82
That Elance book above isn't the only book I've published as an Amazon Kindle book. My author page on Amazon will lead you to others, and I've also published books under pen names. In fact, I've got a sequel to a book that's pre-order status right now on Amazon's Kindle platform that's due by the early part of November, so I'd better get on task and write more.
It's cool to see that even folks in Europe have purchased my books. Thanks to you guys across the Pond!
AMAZON FBA SALES Total $986.42
This nearly one grand represents my phase of selling products via Amazon's Fulfilled by Amazon project — a project I hesitate to call a failure because at least I learned valuable lessons from the venture. In 2012, I'd purchase various items from Target, Wal-Mart and other stores — like makeup, toys, etc. — and then resell the new items by sending them off to Amazon's various fulfillment centers across the nation.
It might've turned out better if I were more disciplined, but with a brand-spanking new gold American Express card walking around in all those stores each day, I found myself charging lots of groceries and clothes or stuff instead of just the products to resell. Plus, the Amazon fees and pricing competition made it such that we'd have to price our FBA items higher in order to make a profit.
Needless to say, I don't do the Amazon FBA product selling anymore, and I've thrown my effort into paying off that AmEx debt via a whole lot of freelance writing. It feels good to know that most of this income is going towards debt, current living expenses and such — and the stuff I buy is mostly in debit mode these days, not many credit purchases compared to prior years.
AMAZON USA KINDLE BOOK SALES Total $4,696.69
Okay, so the United States Kindle book sales have brought in nearly five grand in 9 months, and that's good to see because when checking the earnings on a monthly level, they don't always look as encouraging as seeing them on a grander level such as this. If you want a step-by-step process for getting your Kindle book published on your own, check this out.
I'd love to take the time to get more Kindle essays online soon that are even more creative.
COMMISSION JUNCTION Total $66.17
CJ.com is a site that also gives publishers special links to products and services and pays them a cut of any sales they make. Obviously I haven't put a lot of effort into that endeavor this year, and that referral income probably represents Groupon deals I've promoted via CJ.
ELANCE Total $14,364.40
All righty then, Elance is the biggie this year thus far. I've learned a lot about finding good freelance writing clients via the site since I seriously began using it around June of 2013. It's funny how when I began I took small and cheap jobs just to figure out the whole process, and now more than 15 months later, I'm grateful to see that it's a great place to find quality clients who want native English writers that are great at article writing.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Total $1,052.13
The kind of ads you see above are Google AdSense ads, and that's where this type of income comes from.
LINKSHARE Total $17.76
LinkShare is similar to CJ.com, and I think the only money I've earned this year thus far is due to some old Wal-Mart link that someone purchased a product through.
WEBSITE SALE ON FLIPPA Total $3,826.63
I had a profitable website that I set up back in 2007 or so that was making around $300 per month consistently in AdSense income. In my desperation to pay off AmEx and get a bit of a breather from those nearly $1,000-per-month AutoPay payments, I sold the website on Flippa.com for nearly $4K and it seriously helped.
Clarity Digital Group, LLC Total $1,651.15
Clarity Digital is Examiner.com, and I've been writing for them since 2009. They have been through plenty of changes, and I find it interesting to see how the site ebbs and flows in Google's favor.
Freelance Writing Total $1,953.60
Outside of finding clients on Elance, I'm approached by some clients via other means, and after having an experience this year, I've decided to only communicate and work with clients through Elance. It keeps things simpler and more organized and helps to keep the scammers away.
Yahoo! Inc. Total $397.13
This should be the last year I report an Yahoo income – at least the kind that came from Yahoo Voices and such. That writing outlet closed earlier in the year, so it's true that when one door closes, something much better opens.

Recently I was asked to see if I could find divorce records for a young couple who had been married in 1924 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. After going to the courthouse archives, the helper there checked the index and quickly found the case number, and went to the microfilm cabinet and found the divorce. I had not asked if the person who sent the query wanted the whole file or just the divorce decree, so I just copied the divorce decree. That was a bad mistake as the file was only about 16 pages long and at 50 cents a page not really very expensive for the complete copy.
While the divorce decree gave proof they were divorced, and the date of the divorce, it left out a many of interesting facts. I had missed a clue before I even went to our courthouse that made this an interesting search. Why had they gotten married in Coeur d'Alene? Idaho is only about 20 miles from Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene about another ten miles. During the 1920s, there was an electric railroad between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, so getting there was easy, and inexpensive. Idaho has always had cheaper marriage licenses. The courthouse stayed open on Saturdays so you could get a license quickly, go across the street to a marriage chapel, and get married.
The groom had sued for the divorce as his bride had left after a few months and had gone back home, according to his account of the marriage. Her account started out by saying she had been raped by him on her way home from school one day. He had forced her in his car, taken her out in the country and raped her. So with the help of the sheriff and her parents they went to Coeur d'Alene to get married and she had lied about her age. She was 14 but said she was 15 so they could get married. They had lived together for about three months before she left. Her reason was that he had been cruel to her, but that was not explained further.
Divorce files are not always as interesting as this one, but the whole file should be checked, because it may have more information that could not be found elsewhere. How do you find a divorce? It should be in the archives of the local courthouse, or possibly a close by courthouse. The Lincoln county courthouse in Davenport, Washington is the divorce Mecca for people in our area so it may have been there if not in our courthouse. I was asked the other day why Spokane County does not put the divorces on-line. The main reason is it would be a lot of work to sort through all the microfilmed civil cases just to find the divorces, as they had filmed all the civil cases together from when the county was formed until quite a while after this divorce.
Did your ancestors divorce? Have you found the divorce records? Be sure to get a complete copy of the divorce file.

Arian Foster likely to return to practice Sunday
Texans running back Arian Foster is expected to come off the physically unable to perform list and resume practicing Sunday, coach Gary Kubiak said. Foster suffered a severe calf strain early during organized team activities in May and has been rehabbing the injury ever since. The Texans have been cautious with Foster, not wanting to […] [Read More]
Joe Mays hopes Texans fans can accept him
Often players who were the subject of controversy, don't like talking about it months later. But new Texans linebacker Joe Mays understood that was part of his narrative when joining the Texans. After all, last season Texans fans became familiar with Mays, then a Broncos linebacker, when one of his hits on Matt Schaub knocked […] [Read More]

Nursing Workforce:
HHS Needs Methodology to Identify Facilities with a Critical Shortage of Nurses
GAO-07-492R: Published: Apr 30, 2007. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2007.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Registered nurses (RN) are the single largest group of health care providers in the United States, with more than 2.4 million people employed as RNs in 2004. Basic RN training may be completed through a 2-year associate's degree, a 3-year diploma, or a 4-year bachelor's degree. RNs work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, physicians' offices, and public health clinics. Reports by government agencies and others have raised concerns about nurse shortages. In 2001, we reported on an emerging shortage of RNs to fill vacant positions across a range of health care settings. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), estimated that the supply of RNs nationally fell approximately 111,000 short of demand in 2000 (5.5 percent) and projected the gap would widen in the ensuing years. A shortage of RNs, like general workforce shortages, occurs when the demand for RNs exceeds supply. The supply of RNs, or the number of RNs employed, is influenced by multiple factors, including the size of the overall labor force, the number of licensed RNs choosing to work in nursing, the number of new RNs graduating from nursing school, the capacity of nursing schools, and funding available for higher education. Demand, or the number of RNs that employers would like to hire, is also affected by multiple factors, including demographic characteristics and health status of the population, economic factors such as personal income and health insurance coverage, and characteristics of the health care system such as nurse wages and health care reimbursement rates. Having an adequate supply of RNs is important because reports have established a positive relationship between the quality of care and RN staffing levels in settings such as hospitals and nursing homes. To support the recruitment and retention of RNs in health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses, Congress passed the Nurse Reinvestment Act of 2002 (NRA). The NRA established the Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP) to provide scholarships for individuals to attend schools of nursing. The NRA also modified an existing program, the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP), which was established by Congress in 1992 to help repay education loans for RNs. Under both programs, awardees must agree to work for at least 2 years in a health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses, with preference given to qualified applicants with the greatest financial need. To implement this, HRSA, which administers both programs, designates several types of facilities as having a critical shortage of nurses for the purposes of the NSP and NELRP. The Secretary of HHS is required to report annually to Congress on various aspects of the programs including the locations where award recipients are fulfilling their service obligation. The NRA directed us to conduct several studies related to the nationwide shortage of nurses. As discussed with the committees of jurisdiction, in this report we are: (1) providing information on how the number of employed RNs and the shortage of RNs has changed since 2000, both nationally and across states; and (2) describing characteristics of NELRP and NSP awardees and examining whether these programs have improved the supply of RNs in facilities with critical shortages of nurses.
Between 2000 and 2004, the number of employed RNs in the United States grew by 10 percent, with a total of 2.4 million RNs employed in nursing in 2004. Most of the increase occurred in hospitals and ambulatory care settings, and the extent of employment growth varied widely among states. For example, among the 48 states where the number of employed RNs increased, the growth in employment ranged from 2 percent in Connecticut to 47 percent in New Hampshire. Despite evidence of growth in RN employment between 2000 and 2004, there are no data available for estimating the magnitude of changes in the shortage of RNs over this time period. Estimating changes in the RN shortage requires data on both the supply of and the demand for RNs in 2000 and 2004. Although there are data indicating that the supply or number of employed RNs increased, there are no data--either nationally or at the state level--on RN demand in 2004, because demand estimates have not been updated since 2000. However, several indirect measures suggest that the shortage of RNs has eased since 2000. For example, RN employment growth from 2000 to 2004 was generally strongest in those states that HRSA designated as having greater shortages in 2000. In addition, between 2000 and 2004 the number of employed RNs relative to the size of the general population increased from 782 per 100,000 people in 2000 to 825 per 100,000 people in 2004--reflecting an increase in RN supply relative to one measure of demand for RNs. Finally, the rate of unfilled RN positions in hospitals declined nationally from 13 percent in 2001 to 9 percent in 2005. Recipients of NSP and NELRP awards are more likely to be from a minority group and are more likely to have received or be pursuing a 4-year bachelor's degree rather than a 2-year associate's degree when compared to the overall RN workforce. In both programs, an applicant's minority status is not used as a criterion in making awards. In 2004, 11 percent of the overall nursing workforce was minority while minorities made up 36 percent of NSP awardees and 21 percent of NELRP awardees. NSP and NELRP awardees are required to be employed in one of the types of facilities identified by HRSA as having a critical shortage of nurses. However, HRSA does not have a sound basis for determining the number of RNs needed for that facility to be considered as one experiencing a critical shortage of RNs. Consequently, we cannot identify which facilities fall into this category. Furthermore, awardees may not be serving in facilities actually experiencing a nursing shortage. HRSA is working to develop an approach for identifying facilities with critical shortages of RNs, and researchers contracted by HRSA have produced a report detailing an approach that uses available county-level data to determine facilities that could be identified as having critical shortages of RNs. This report is currently under review, so HRSA's efforts at developing an empirically-based approach for identifying facilities with critical shortages of RNs have not been completed.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has published a report on the preliminary work done to develop a methodology for identifying health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses. The Agency has has issued a contract to update, test and finalize the shortage designation methodology. According to HRSA, the contract will continue through 2009, and the results will then be turned into a proposed rule and submitted for Agency and Department clearance. That process is not likely to begin until fiscal year 2010 at the earliest, however there may be some concepts in the initial report may be considered in developing funding preferences in the meantime.
Recommendation: In order to target funding effectively for the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP) and the Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP) to nurses working in health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses, the Secretary of HHS should identify the specific steps and a time frame for implementing an empirical methodology for identifying health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Open
Comments: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has not yet issued an Annual Report to Congress since this recommendation was made.
Recommendation: In order to target funding effectively for the Nursing Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP) and the Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP) to nurses working in health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses, the Secretary of HHS should direct the Administrator of HRSA to include a description of steps taken and progress on its time frame for implementing such methodology in HRSA's annual report to Congress on these programs.

This project was initiated in 2007 to better understand the interactions between humans and cougars along the highly urbanized Front Range of Colorado and to develop and evaluate effective management prescriptions that may help sustain cougars in this human dominated landscape. The initial phase of this project concentrated on capturing cougars and placing GPS telemetry collars on adult cougars to document basic movements of cougars and their use of prey. Additionally, collared cougars that become involved in interactions with humans will potentially be subjected to a variety of aversive conditioning techniques to evaluate whether the behavior of such cougars could be changed to encourage cougars to avoid conflicts with humans. The project is anticipated to span several years and reach full-scale efforts in 2009.
Led by Mat Alldredge, in cooperation Jerry Apker, Statewide Carnivore Manager, and Chuck Anderson
This project was initiated in 2007 to evaluate field techniques to use microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA to assess the meta-population status of cougars through out Colorado and to use DNA as a marker in capture-recapture efforts to estimate cougar densities in localized areas. A tooth will be obtained from all cougars harvested in Colorado. The tooth will provide estimates of cougar ages and provide a source of high quality DNA. DNA will be analyzed to assess whether several or few genetic subpopulations of cougars exist across Colorado and to establish genetic relationships between Colorado's cougars and cougars in adjacent states. To date based on 2-years of data, analysis of DNA characteristics suggest cougars are comprised of one large meta-population across the western 2/3 of the state and appear to display less genetic statewide genetic variation than bears, indicating considerable mixing of cougar DNA across large geographic areas, presumably by male cougars dispersing when young. Additionally, captive cougars are providing the experimental opportunity to assess whether the quality and persistence of useable DNA in cougar fecal samples subjected to the variances of temperature and moisture in the field will allow using DNA to identify individual cougars for potential field applications of genetic mark/recapture. Further DNA sampling is planned for 1 or 2 more years to confirm statewide meta-population results.

The purpose of this 10-year research project, initiated in 2004, is to evaluate assumptions underlying the Colorado Parks and Wildlife's model-based approach to managing pumas with sport-hunting. The project is designed in two 5-year periods– a reference period and a treatment period. In the reference period (completed in 2009) researchers quantified puma population abundance, structure, vital rates, and sources of mortality with sport-hunting removed as a mortality factor. In the treatment period (underway) researchers continue quantifying those same population characteristics with sport-hunting as a mortality factor. Harvest rates for the treatment are set according to assumptions used to manage other puma population in Colorado with hunting. In addition to studying the puma population in the treatment period, researchers also survey puma hunter behavior and performance on the study area to examine assumptions associated with sex and age structure of harvest data as an indicator to puma population trend.
Puma population characteristics are gathered principally by capturing, marking, radio-collaring, and tissue-sampling pumas representing a large majority of the study population. Data from captured and harvested pumas are used to parameterize population models to assess puma population dynamics without and with sport-hunting. As of March 2012, over 160 individual pumas were radio-collared, with most of the adults fitted with GPS collars. In addition, at least another 40 pumas were biologically characterized and tissue-sampled on and around the study area. Tissue samples allow researchers to use molecular genetics to assess relatedness of pumas in the population and maternity, paternity, reproductive success, and to estimate immigration. Behaviors exhibited by GPS/radio-collared pumas allow researchers to link those behaviors with information on genetic relatedness. In addition, we are collaborating with researchers at Colorado State University to examine puma blood samples to reveal types and frequency of disease exposure to pumas in Colorado. Associated with our efforts to estimate puma abundance, we conducted a pilot study in collaboration with other Colorado State University researchers to examine design factors involved in the use of a camera grid and mark-resight models to estimate puma abundance and density in a marked puma population. Research findings are expected to improve puma management in Colorado and to better inform its citizens.

Obama DOJ Race Case Blocked!: FBI Records Found No Evidence Zimmerman Was Racist
Posted on Thursday, July 12, 2012
Frances Robles and Scott Hiaason | Miami Herald
After interviewing nearly three dozen people in the George Zimmerman murder case, the FBI found no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, records released Thursday show.
Even the lead detective in the case, Sanford Det. Chris Serino, told agents that he thought Zimmerman profiled Trayvon because of his attire and the circumstances — but not his race.
Serino saw Zimmerman as "having little hero complex, but not as a racist."

New Videoblog for SKYFALL Focuses on Bond Girls Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe
by Adam Chitwood Posted 2 years, 89 days ago
A new videoblog for Skyfall has landed online, and this time the Bond girls are the focus. Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe play two very different female characters in director Sam Mendes' entry in the franchise, but both actresses are aware of how the female role in the Bond films has changed over the years. Harris notes that it's "not enough just to look pretty anymore," and her field agent can more than hold her own. Marlohe, on the other hand, describes her character as a femme fatale with a great deal of complexity. It's been nice to see the series evolve from its chauvinistic roots, and I'm eager to see what Harris and Marlohe bring to the table.
Hit the jump to watch the videoblog. The film also stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Ben Whishaw, Javier Bardem, and Ralph Fiennes. Skyfall opens on November 9th.

Kansas City, MO United States
El Dorado
Industrial Projects
2012 Annual Design Review
Tucked between two busy traffic throughways in Kansas City, Mo., is the 100-year-old building that serves as the home for Boulevard Brewing Co., one of the area's largest microbreweries. When it came time for the company's operation to expand with eight new 40-foot-tall tanks for beer brewing, they turned to local firm El Dorado to fit the new equipment into an existing space, which was only 15 feet high. The resulting glass-and-perforated-aluminum-panel-clad vertical addition encloses the tanks, making them accessible for monitoring and for adding ingredients 24 hours a day, during all seasons.
In addition to providing shelter for the new brewing tanks, the structure—which is chamfered at its northern end in a nod to the path of an underground river on the site—serves as a light monitor, evacuates hot air from the rest of the facility through its roof, and allows natural daylight to permeate adjacent brewing spaces in the complex.
"You're going to put in eight 40-foot vats. So what do you do? You put them on top of the roof and you make a hood ornament out of them. It calls attention to this gritty part of town." —Carol Ross Barney

Critics Consensus: Blood Diamond overcomes poor storytelling with its biting commentary and fine performances.
Movie Info
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, "Blood Diamond" is the story of Danny Archer--a South African mercenary--and Solomon Vandy--a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon--who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields--has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen, an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have. … More

Critic Reviews for Blood Diamond
All Critics (211) | Top Critics (50) | Fresh (131) | Rotten (80) | DVD (30)
Blood Diamond has all the cinematic punch of a lengthy Nation article.
It doesn't entirely evade the issue at its core - conflict diamonds - in favour of pure action by way of guns and planes, thrills and spills; but it hardly embraces the subject fully either.
DiCaprio proves himself the most watchful and watchable actor of his age.
It succeeds well at what it sets out to do: wrapping a worthy message in a compelling story.
[Director Zwick] is craftsman enough that the pace never slackens, the chase scenes thrill, and the battle scenes sicken. And if it makes viewers think twice about buying their sweethearts that hard-won hunk of ice for Christmas, so much the better.
It's clear that Blood Diamond takes quite a while to wholeheartedly get going...
Despite fine performances, Blood Diamond is an unfortunate disappointment due to heavy handed direction which dilutes its message.
Diamonds may be forever, but Blood Diamond hopefully will only last through the Oscar season
After centuries of raping Africa for its resources, now we exploit its misery for our amusement.
Blood Diamond is a movie zircon. It doesn't cut glass, but it cuts plot, character, and credibility. It could be Hotel Rwanda, but instead it's Motel Deep-Six.
The more I see of their work, the more I realise that directors Ed Zwick and Sam Mendes have one thing very sharply in common -- both are filmmakers who make movies that they think are far more important than they actually are.
This is one powerful film. The shooting style is intense, mixing action with heart-wrenching drama with Leonardo DiCaprio's faux South African accent.
Beneath the shocking brutality in Blood Diamond is the story of father searching for his son which, thanks to Mr. Hounsou's work, is nearly worth the price of admission.
Truly offensive is the film's go-nowhere result, its purported liberal ideologies untapped beyond their potential for speedy, soulless entertainment.
Exciting and compelling, but even more than that, it's a great acting showcase for Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou.
It's a film about exploitation that sometimes feels like it IS exploitation and is only going to leave you frustrated.
DiCaprio is excellent but this is definitely a Very Important Movie.
Zwick does a fine job in combining a broad range of elements and turning them into a compulsive and thought-provoking adventure and is aided by beautiful cinematography.
The issues may be simply put, but the brilliant action sequences engage us viscerally.
Audience Reviews for Blood Diamond
DiCaprio, Hounsou and Connelly all shine in one of the best films ive seen in a long time. Just kept me glued to my set the whole time i watched this. This was a great film.More
Super Reviewer
It's a bit formulaic but the performances of the lead actors (Hounsou and DiCaprio) are great enough to make this film worthy.More

Leo plays Danny, a diamond smuggler who meets Solomon who has hidden the rarest diamond. Great accent and best performance to date from Leo. My fave scenes are dancing at the night bar and the last phone call. Great cast.More

If you don't buy it, it's not in the house tempting you. I may replace one thing with another thing, but I can make choices about what the replacement is. I can see why it would be very difficult for a smoker to quit while they still have a pack, or a dieter to ignore the bag of chocolate in the pantry. If those things aren't there, they have a MUCH better chance.
The difficulty is going to be for those who don't live alone. You may have no control over what your family members bring into the house. You can diligently remove product X from the house, only to find a family member has replaced it.
My bro and I have an agreement. We eat french fries only when we are together, and then we eat as much as we want. We live several hundred miles apart. It works. :-)
I agree with Fly...if you don't buy it, its not in the house tempting you. I was single for years and have recently begun co-habitating again. My partner is a tall, skinny food incinerator who eats as often as a he can to maintain his weight. He can afford to eat high calorie, high carb granola. I cannot. I gave up cereal about 10 years ago because I could not control my portions. And now it is in my cabinet. I didn't eat it for the first two months we lived together, but have been sprinkling it in my yogurt the past 2 days. NO.
I know I can say NO because I've had plenty of practice, but I recognize this as new challenge.
As to french fries, I have a rule about them as well. I only eat 1 specific brand of fries about 4 times a year. The brand is called Clear Coat. They are crunchy, god only knows what they are made of and they are the most delicious salty oily crunchy treat. If you are not a clear coat fry I cannot be bothered. If you are any food that came from a buffet, a potluck or the office mystery box, the answer is a firm NO. (I just imagine all the food covered in germs.)
I think the final peice that helps me to stay in control with food, are my food related values. I agree with your sentiment that self-control creates freedom. It is much easier to make decisions when we have limited our choices.
I thank the author for the brilliant 'abstainers vs. moderators' definition and distinction!
I found that for my personal maintenance of healthy eating lifestyle as well as for my online counseling work I have to assume that most people are not 'either – or' but "both". For some foods we are abstainers (no cookies at my place) and for some foods we are moderators (the 'no fat' cottage cheese is for me; the very reach and juicy cheese is for my pretty wife to enjoy).
Dr. Joe
It can take a radical reboot to get past old hurts and injustices.

I am having a b!tch of a time getting out of Ketosis. I do not eat much carbs to begin with, but on the weekend, I usually have Saturday as my carb day. I ate pretty much as I have been, but at dinner, I was at a b-day party and had chips, chicken burger with the bun and a bottle of wine, and I payed for it on Sunday
I also had cake and egg rolls. Sunday I was still in Ketosis, with a large amount of ketones, very dark I really am not much of a carb eater, so I guess I am going to have to eat massive amounts of carbs!(which I really don't want to since I get so bloated) I haven't been out of ketosis for 2 weeks now. Is this going to be a problem, should I try to get out of ketosis in the middle of the week like Wednesday! Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance

Mental Process Professional Day Traders Go Through
If there is anything in your mental environment that is in conflict with the principles of creating the belief that "I am a consistently successful trader" then you will need to employ self-discipline to integrate these principles as a dominant functioning part of your identity. Once the principles become internalized and become "who you are" you will no longer need self-discipline because the process of becoming consistent will become effortless.
Creating a Belief in Consistency – The following beliefs are the building blocks that provide the foundation for what it means to be a consistent winner. I am a consistent winner because:
• I define my profit potential
• I predefine my risk on every short term commodities trade
• I completely accept the risk
• I act without hesitation
• I continually monitor myself
• I understand and never violate these principles
To integrate these principles into your mental system at a functional level requires that you purposefully create a series of experiences that are consistent with them. You must learn to be an objective observer and think from the markets perspective (every moment is truly unique). If there is enough will behind your effort, it is possible to experience a major shift in your mental structure as a futures trader very quickly. De-activating internal conflicts is not a function of time; it is a function of focused desire and belief. So the amount of desire and how much action you put into consciously following these steps, will determine how fast you begin seeing actual results from your efforts.
Over the years I have seen many traders who assimilated this information and adopted the principles explained in this tutorial. Most commodities traders experienced substantial shift in their thinking process and as a result their trading greatly improved over a short amount of time. One quality that each and every one of these traders shared is unshakable focus and determination to change and complete faith and belief that these principles work.

Suspect in Seattle double homicide sought in N.J. robbery
Ali Muhammad Brown, wanted in connection with the slayings of two men in Seattle on June 1, is now suspected of an armed robbery Sunday in New Jersey.
Seattle Times staff
A man wanted in connection with the slayings of two men in Seattle a month ago is also a suspect in an armed robbery Sunday in New Jersey, police said.
Ali Muhammad Brown, 30, who is homeless, is wanted on a warrant for robbery and possession of a weapon in connection with the robbery of a man at a Point Pleasant Beach coffeehouse, police said.
Around 8 a.m. Sunday, a 46-year-old Washington, D.C., man was robbed at gunpoint at Green Planet Coffee, according to police. The robber got away with the man's wallet and keys, police told the news website nj.com.
A Point Pleasant Beach police detective said the robber changed his clothes after the robbery.
Based on evidence found in the area, police believe the assailant, described as 6-foot-1 in height and approximately 30 years old, is from the East Orange, N.J., area. The gun was not found, police said.
Point Pleasant Beach police say they are working with police in Seattle and the U.S. Marshals Service in the hunt for Brown, according to the Asbury Park Press.
A Seattle police spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that police here have been in contact with Point Pleasant Beach authorities.
Seattle police have identified Brown as a suspect in the fatal shootings of Ahmed Said, 27, and Dwone Anderson-Young, 23, on June 1 in Leschi.
Police say Brown left with the two victims from RPlace, a gay Capitol Hill nightclub, and drove toward Anderson-Young's house in Said's Mitsubishi Galant. As they were outside Anderson-Young's home Brown pulled out a gun and killed the two men, police said.
A police source said Brown was identified as a suspect from fingerprints found inside the Mitsubishi.
Seattle police said Brown also is wanted on warrants for failure to register as a sex offender and for the slayings. In March 2012, Brown pleaded guilty to communication with a minor for immoral purposes and was sentenced to a year in jail.
Seattle police said last week that a motive for the slayings is not known.
Anderson-Young's mother said in an interview that her son was gay. When asked last month whether the shootings were being investigated as a possible hate crime, Assistant Police Chief Carmen Best said "nothing is off the table."
Seattle police said last week that Brown was believed to be hiding in Pierce County.
Seattle Times staff reporter Sara Jean Green and news researcher Miyoko Wolf contributed to this report, which includes information from Times archives.

4.1 meter (1/5 scale) Horten IIIe
Since I'm now done with my 2m Horten XII build I decided it was time to start building my 4.1m Horten IIIe. I finished the CAD design and cut most of the parts out on the laser a few months back.
The Center Section...
Since I designed the parts to interlock everything is going together pretty quickly. What you see here took about one hour to put together. I still need to glue a couple of 1/8" bass wood longerons in place and do a some sanding before I can glue the top skins in place.
|Oct 14, 2011, 02:07 AM
Fantastic. You must be one of the few people on earth doing this level of work using sharks with friggen lasers on their heads!
Keep up the good work,

More progress on the center section
I had to do a bit of sanding on the bulkheads since they needed to be beveled to match the shape of the ribs. Once the sanding was done the skins were then cut to size and glued in place. It took three pieces per side. Each piece is 12 inches wide so that's about 28 inches of center rib I had to cover with plywood. This thing is going to have lots of wing area...about 1,650 dm2.

More on the center section + left wing panel
Well I managed to get some work done today.
The center section...
I finished the canopy frame.
I also finished framing of the hatch that will cover up the mid cabin area. This will allow me to get to the motor mount nuts and the prop shaft coupler.
The left wing panel...
I finish laser cutting the servo covers, the sub-leading edge parts and the rib alignment jig.
I mounted the ribs to the building board using the alignment jig and glued part of the sub-leading edge in place (the horizontal parts that interlock with the ribs..
I glued the wing joiner tubes in place.
Next up...
Cutting the spruce spar caps out of the table saw.
Gluing the rest of the sub-leading edge parts in place.
Cutting out the shear webs.
Finish the plug and then pull the canopy.

Hey Peter,
The joiners are thin walled (.049") aluminum tubes with Phenolic sleeves (sockets). The front tube is 1 1/2" diameter and the rear is 5/8" diameter. The front tube has been anodized black.
I have some discussion and pictures of my laser(s) on my rcgroups blog. The newer and bigger laser is based on the 2.x laser design available at Buildlog.net. I extended both the X & Y axes so I can reliably cut 620mm X 470mm. Both of my lasers use 40W CO2 laser tubes. This allows my to easly cut 6mm lite ply and 3mm birch ply. I get some more pictures posted.
|Oct 17, 2011, 12:30 PM
Looks great!! It is a lot of CAD work to get to this point. How fast does the laser run? My CNC router can go 18 inchs per minute.

Yes, lots of CAD work! My laser isn't too fast since it's only using a 40W CO2 tube. The speed varies a lot depending on what I'm doing (cutting or engraving) and the material.
Here are some examples:
-I can engraving part numbers and such on most wood at 60 inches per minute with about 1-2% power.
-I can cut through 1/8" medium balsa at the same speed but with about 30% power.
-I can cut 1/8" poplar plywood cuts at about 24 inches per minute with about 85% power.
-I can cut 1/8" birch plywood at about 12 inches per minute with about 90% power.

The belly skin and other stuff on the dirty side
The slots for the spar caps need to be beveled in order for the spar caps to fit. So I did a bit of sanding. I got bored with that pretty quickly, however, I didn't have much interest in firing up the table saw to the spar caps. So what was I to do?
I decided to do some more work on the bottom of the center section. The first thing I did was to sheet the aft part. The trailing edge was reinforced with epoxy and flocked cotton.
Next up I decided to do a little work on the landing "pod". Okay, I'm sick of calling it the landing "pod" so if anyone know what thing on the bottom of the center section that holds the wheel is called please let me know. After a bit more sanding I'll sheet it with .4mm birch plywood. By the way, I'll be using a 3" wheel.

Has anyone ever built the Horten X glider, or the VI as a model?
Any plans available?
Nice build thread, by the way. I'm wondering how nicely these would fly with modern foils and materials in full size. I just read a bunch of stuff from NASA, MIT, and University of Missouri that suggest there were lots of design snafus, flying deficiencies, and weight problems. I love the planform, just beautiful, but can you imagine if Schleicher or Lange made a new one? Better L/D and handling. Lighter and more durable materials. Just looking at the cockpit framework, all the tubes and fittings that they used on the originals, makes me shudder. Makes me think of the Swift hangglider that was designed and flown by college students. How about a pod under the Horten wing? 2 seats?

Dan Cummins
ASPEN, CO – The second annual Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival kicked off last night in strong form, with a show featuring Ted Alexandro, Laurie Kilmartin, Will Durst and Dan Cummins.
Of this group, the younger Spokane, Washington-based Cummins had the most to prove, as he found himself performing in a lineup of incredibly seasoned and well-respected comedians.
Click here to view full article
Thanks so much for all the votes! I was amazed to get over 100,000, and finish 3rd in Comedy Central's Standup Showdown. Also, sorry it's taken so long, but, my 2009 schedule is now up. I'll be adding many more dates. Also, I should be getting a new, nicer website in the next few months. Stay tuned.
Dan Cummins is a stand-up comedian who we're pretty sure has more than just one funny bone (possibly 3!). He's appeared on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Last Comic Standing, and has starred in his own 30-minute special on Comedy Central's Comedy Central Presents.
Comedian Dan Cummins performed at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Prescott campus on Friday, Nov. 7. The Davis Learning Center, where he performed, was packed to capacity long before Cummins arrived. In order to avoid trouble with the fire marshal, the school opted for a ticket system this time, selling tickets for the event at the student union.
Again, thanks for all the great e-mails concerning Last Comic Standing. I'm glad that show introduced me to a lot of new fans. I always am excited to say I'll performing in at least 2 NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) conferences this fall, which means I'll be performing at a lot more campuses next Spring. I'm currently in the process of looking for sponsorship partners for college tours, and hope to have some free swag to bring to my shows! (Who doesn't love free, or saying the word "swag"?). I should also have some new web videos to post shortly. Talk to you soon…

I have inherited a 2003 Server Standard Edition which appears to belong to a domain that no longer exists. I think it might have been a DC as I do not have an option to logon locally to it.
It holds the QCA KS3 Testing software which needs updating, but I do not have the admin user account details to get on to it.
Is there any way of getting in to the server and joining it to our exisitng domain, or will I be looking at re-installing it?

Equity Point SeaBarcelona, Spain
I loved it! It is really right at the beach! When you eat breakfast you are flashed by the sun and the whole sea view. It is awesome. I have to admid though that it can be pretty difficult to sleep there because all rooms are kind of open and connected with each other so of one guy in a totally different room makes noise you can defenetly hear it. Also the light can be relly annoying. And the stuff hin on me, that was really creepy. But it was a nice time anyway :)
Mount Eccles CourtDublin, Ireland
That is one of the most awesome hostels ever *.*! I had a private dorm and it was gorgeous!!!! So huge!! Also the stuff was really friendly and also leaded me to my room. There are also some facilities like for example pool. The breakfast is nice as well :)

Connemara National Park Hostel - Letterfrack LodgeConnemara, Ireland
We arrived at 4 pm and the room was still not ready. So the pretty friendly hostel owner told us that the room is nearly done and that we jus have to wait another 20 minutes. So we waited for one more hour and also people who arrived after us got earlier a room. The house owner didn't even excuse. Then I got angry and he told us that he will show us the room but when we arrived there nothing was done and he prepared everything in front of us. It was dirty there and the Shower was really creepy.
Barnacles Galway 1 Bed ApartmentGalway, Ireland
I loved it !!! *.* That is a great hostel. We booked a one bed apartement for 2 people. It id directly in the city centre and super clean with our own little kitchen. I'd love to go there again =D!
Downtowner InnToronto, Canada
It's dark and scary. It was nearly clean but I had still a unclean feeling when I was lying in the bed or when I stood under the shower... The corridor was the most scary thing. The kitchen looked very unclean and I couldn't find the free breakfast. They had a TV, I liked that. But the room where the TV was in looked like the opposite of modern. It was like anybody has collected things from the bulck trash and put it into this living room/ kitchen. The garden looked nice, but small.
Hostel UtopiaAmsterdam, Netherlands
I can't agree with the most other reviews. No rats, no bugs. It was clean. There were many bathrooms and it is in the centrum of Amsterdam. If you are a teenager who comes there for having fun, it is the right place for you. Of course if you are a couple which want to have a romantical weekend in a Apartment it's defenetly not the right hostel. I will go there again! =D
Euphemia HotelAmsterdam, Netherlands
No rats, it was clean. The room was not speacial, but everything was more than okay =). It's a bit difficult to climb up all the steps when you're drunk ^^. But I'm content and I would sleep there again. The only one thing is that it is a bit far away from the redlight district. But on the other hand it's not so far from Leidseplein.

Welcome to The Jerusalem Post's live coverage of President Shimon Peres's foreign policy address to the European Parliament in
Strasburg.Prior to standing before the
754-member parliament representing the 27 countries that are encompassed under

have a private meeting before Peres mounts the podium to deliver a foreign
policy speech, after which he and Shulz will conduct a media conference. They
will then have lunch with 70 key figures of the European Parliament.In
his address, Peres will ask for the Europeans to list Hezbollah as a terrorist
organization, warn that time is running out for the thwarting of Iran's nuclear
program and caution of the dangers inherent in Syria's stockpile of chemical
weapons.The president will return home in time to host the traditional
reception for the new incoming government this week.

Frank Perkins Hixon Jr
Remember Frank Perkins Hixon Jr? Former Evercore managing director charged with securities fraud (and lying to the FBI!) after he opened up brokerage accounts in his ex-mistress's and father's names and then did a little insider trading in them to the tune of $700,000 in ill-gotten gains? Told a judge that he did it in order to stay connected with Destiny Wind Robinson, with whom he fathered a child, as she would not accept cash but was okay with investment ideas? A judge has sentenced him to two-and-a-half years, which would've been longer had it not been for the other woman in his life (AKA his wife) asking for leniency on his behalf. Read more »
In court today, where he pleaded guilty, Frank Perkins Hixon Jr. laid out his thinking:
- This wasn't about avarice, it was about love
- All he was trying to do was set up a nest egg for the woman with whom he had a two year affair, and their love child
- But because his lady friend would not accept cash, he gave her the next best thing, the proceeds from trades based on material non-public information
