He had a private agreement set out which has been stamped by the courts, however, some of the terms do not apply. The only mention on the house was how proceeds from sale should be split. It seems some of the agreement basically isnt worth the paper its written on. It was agreed that I pay the interest only until the house is sold, then repay the outstanding 90k, the rest split accordingly.
I have just looked at the consent order that my husband had drawn up. The first two pages have paragraphs A -H under the heading of Consent Order. The last page has paragraphs 1-4 under the heading of By Consent It Is Ordered...my understanding is the only part that is binding is paragraphs 1-4 under 'By Consent It Is Ordered' would this be correct? If so, there is no mention of the house other than neither husband nor wife shall be entitled on the death of the other to apply for a provision out of his or her estate
No court hearing was attended, this was a private agreement drawn up by my ex's solicitor which was passed by the court without a hearing. I could not afford a solicitor. The 90k is the outstanding amount on the mortgage, as I am paying interest only, this amount is not going down. So when the house is sold the 90k has to be paid back, out of the sale, before the remaining is split between us. My question is, as he has just taken over 7k from the reserve/overdraft facility, will this affect the amount I pay monthly now or will that be taken when house is sold, along with the 90k outstanding, before the remaining amount is split. Basically, would the 7k be like an advance on his share of the house sale.funds
Well I have been on to the mortgage provider today, they inform me that as the mortgage is in joint names, he still has access to the overdraft facility, which I also have. This has therefore increased the amount I need to pay each month, as I now need to pay the mortgage interest AND the interest on the £7,200 he withdrew and but into another bank account.
This is the Consent Order:.
A. Upon the husband and wife agreeing that the terms of this order are accepted in full and final satisfaction of all claims for for income, capital and pension sharing orders and of any other nature whatsoever which either may be entitled to bring against the others estate in any jurisdiction howsoever arising in relation to their marriage
B. - contents of house
C. And upon the husband and wife agreeing the neither of them has any legal or equitable interest in the property or assets owned by the other except as provided for in this order
D. And upon the husband and wife agreeing and undertaking that
(a) The matrimonial home and the mortgage secured thereon shall remain in joint names and that
(b) The husband relinquishes any right of occupation of the property with the wife having sole rights of occupation pending sale of the sale of the matrimonial home as set out below.
(c) The wife shall pay the monthly interest payments to the lender with regard to the main account and will keep the home in good state of repair and properly insured at her own expense.
F. And upon the husband and wife agreeing and undertaking that in the event of the wife remarrying prior to the youngest child attaining the age of 18 then
(a) the wife shall have the option to buy out the husbands beneficial interest in the matrimonial home by way of payment of a lump sum representing 50% of the equity (calculated as the market value as decided by an independent jointly instructed valuer paid for by the wife less the main account mortgage balance) and by having the husband removed from his covenants under the mortgage and the husband would in return transfer his interest in the home to the wife. Such option to be exercised within 56 days of wifes remarriage.
(b) in the event the wife does not exercise the option set out avove then the matrimonial home should be sold forthwith and the net proceeds divided equally between the parties.
G. and upon the jusband and wife agreeing and undertaking that in the event of the wife not remarrying prior to the youngest child attaining the age of 18, then on that date the home shall be sold forthwith and the net proceeds divided between the parties as to 60% to wife and 40% to husband.
H. and upon the husband agreeing that he shall pay £350 per month by way of child maintenance to his wife.
1. The husbands and the wifes claims made or deemed to have been made for periodical payments, secured periodical payments, lump sum, pension provision and property adjustment Orders do stand dismissed and neither the husband nor the wife shall be entitled to make any further application in relation to their marriage under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 9As amended) section 23 (1) (a) or (b), section 24 and section 25 (A) to (D).
2. Pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for family and dependants) Act 1975 S.15 the court considering it just so to Order neither husband nor wife shall be entitled on the death of the other to apply for an order for provision out of his or her estate.
3. There be no order as to costs insofar as this application and the negotiations ancillary thereto are concerned.
4. Liberty to apply as to implementation and timing of the terms of this Order
Well thats the order in full
there is actually no date on it, it has the Bristol County Court stamp, but the actual 'day of' has been left blank, before the year 2012 part. I signed it 28/8/12, so it would have been shortly after that
I had no legal advice as I was not eligible for Legal Aid. I had just changed jobs, there was a delay in my wages from my new employer. Also, at the same time, my son had just turned 18, which changed the child benefits, council tax, etc. All my income and outgoings were not consistent so I had no way of showing my financial situation until things had been sorted out. My ex husband was putting a lot of pressure on me to sign the agreement, as he had already changed it at my request, and gave me a 10 day deadline which included a Bank Holiday Monday. During this 10 day deadline, I tried to contact my solicitor on several occasions. I had one telephone call from her secretary saying she could not take on my case as she didnt have all my income details. I then said I was prepared to go private, just to get the order looked at, but had no reply. She was then off work due to a family bereavement so I was left no option but to sign. If I didnt sign, he was going to take me to court and threatened that I would have to pay half of everything, which I could not afford to do. I tried to explain my situation to my ex, but he was not interested. I was under a lot of stress at the time, I had been made redundant, done Jury Service, started a new job, along with all the stress of going through divorce, this was a very hard time for me
No, I didnt get to see any solicitor about the consent order at all. I only saw her at the beginning of the split, for 1/2 hr free advice when she tried to work out if I was eligible for legal aid, and I was not according to the details I had at the time. When I tried to contact her later, regarding the consent order, was when the confusion happened, I didnt get to see her again, despite leaving several messages with her secretary, then she went on bereavement leave and it was too late, my 10 days were up
I was under the impression that there was no hearing as such, it just went to the courts to be looked at and stamped. Do you mean that I should have been notified of when the hearing was and I could of went to the court and attended the hearing? That is not what I was led to believe. However, I was not in a very clear frame of mind at the time, I will check back through my paperwork to see if I have anything. All I can remember is having a letter through saying the date the divorce had been granted
Hi Claire,
Many thanks for your help, I really didnt know where to start with this. So, to clarify, I should have been informed by the courts of a hearing date? The contents of the order are not fair and if I had a solicitor check it, she would have advised me not to sign? I do not have his address to write, so will have to send it to his parents home. As we are not on speaking terms at all, I am sure that he will simply ignore any correspondence from me. So, are you saying, if I follow your advice, there is a chance the consent order can be changed? Will I need to get a solicitor then? Can I also ask, in your opinion, which sections are not fair.? I was not happy at the time, but he convinced me that if it went to court I could end up with less than he was offering and it would cost me thousands too
Hi Claire I have just found my Certificate of Entitlement to a Decree
and it states : Take notice that the Court has fixed the 10th Aug 2012 at 10.00am for the pronouncement of a decree by a District Judge - address
Note: Unless the decree or any of the orders is opposed, it is unnecessary for any party to appear at Court for the pronouncement.
Any party to these proceedings may be heard on the question of costs at the hearing. A party will not be heard unless he or she has served notice of his or her intention to attend the hearing and to apply for or to oppose the making of an order for costs not less than two days before the hearing.
That was the divorce and the only notice I had for any kind of hearing. The consent order, I signed and dated on 28th Aug, and I received back a copy with the covering letter on 20th Sept. Just looking back through the papers I have, I see it says I should have read a 'fully completed Statement of information for a consent order from the petitioner and that I have made full disclosure of all relevant facts' Would this be the consent order itself, or something else I dont know about?
Many thanks
No, I cannot, especially now as I find myself with a higher interest to be paid on the mortgage due to the 7k he took, also my child maintenance has gone down to £5 a week due to him being on sick leave, and my electric bill has just doubled to £133 a month and I do not qualify for legal aid
Sorry to keep asking, but your advice is still that I write to him first, and still contact the courts? Then try to get legal advice? Do you know if this is something the CAB can help with?
Thank you


text: Hi! My grandma is taking my family on a Disney Cruise this summer and I was hoping to surprise her with some of your wonderful DISigns! I was instructed to try posting my request here... I have a couple ideas, if anyone could make any of them at all I would appreciate it a LOT. 1. A sign that I could put on my door that says: "Welcome, Kayoko!" It would be nice if it could have Minnie or Mickey (Captain Mickey, maybe?) on it somehow... 2. A little mouse-ears-wearing family with: -A grandma (Short grey hair) -Two granddaughters (one teen with brown hair and eyes and one tween with brown hair and eyes) -One lady with black hair and eyes -Two men with black hair and eyes (one with glasses, one without) -One lady with curly red hair and green eyes. 3. A big captain mickey that says "Welcome" to hang on the door if that is somehow easier than number 1. 4. An iron-on design that says "World's Best Grandma!" and has some sort of Disney theme to it. Perhaps a name fill? Or even just a character near or leaning on the letters would be great. Anything goes! 5. A sign with either "こんにちは" or "ようこそ" and some classic Disney characters.

Another song that really is responsible to have a great impact in my life is No Doubt's "Running". I think the song was from their greatest hits album. Here goes:
Another song that really is responsible to have a great impact in my life is No Doubt's "Running". I think the song was from their greatest hits album. Here goes:
Here goes, one of my current favorite musician. The Civil Wars is a folk-country band, and their album "Barton Hollow" is one of the best-selling folk albums of 2011, nominated for 2 Grammys "Best Folk Album" and "Best Country Duo/Group Performance". Recently they collaborated with Taylor Swift for a song from the forthcoming "The Hunger Games" movie. Here's their music videos:
Well, life goes on, that's what people keep saying. Life is filled with awesomeness, despair, laughs, cries, and I could go on and on. I mean what really is the purpose of life? Is it really enough that our needs are satisfied? Or there's more to it?
First things first, is life fair? I believe in God, I'm a Muslim, I can't say that I'm a very good Muslim or a bad one either. I think of my religion as this part of my life that I can't combine with anything else. I can't combine my religion, for instance, with my social life, sexual needs, and so on. God forbids, I may be the most sinful Muslim ever in the eyes of many, but this relationship I have is between me and God. At least that's what I keep saying to myself.
Now what does religion has to do with "fairness in life"? Not much really. But every religion taught us that God is fair. Is He, really?
Pretty sure He is.
Now, let's take a look at one scenario. We have this economically unstable family, a man, his wife, his two kids. They live in this really small house in the corner of Jakarta's suburbs. Basically they're not doing good. The man sells food on his cart, going around town, fulfilling the needs of many. The wife is a homemaker, his two kids are enrolled in this local school whose quality isn't something you can brag about. The man strolls around town selling whatever it is he's selling. He is fulfilled in some way; spending his days doing something he may or may not love but at least he's keeping the needs of his family fulfilled. Though he don't have more than enough income, but he's happy.
Then, the second scenario is this really economically stable guy in his 30s. He graduated from a top notch school and spend his days doing something he loves. But he has no family. Maybe he's happy, maybe he's not, who knows? But at the very least, he is fulfilled.
Well there are many more scenarios. Basically what I'm trying to say is that life may not seem fair from the outside. When we looked around, people may have worse lives than ours. But do they really?
What I know of God and His ways of keeping the universe in sync is that, everything in life is NOT exactly fair. But it's up to us, humans, whether we want to spend our days complaining to God, "why does he have a car and I don't?" "why is he happy with his partner, and I'm still single?" etc.; or we want to spend each of our days with belief that we are fulfilled, and take out lives as a blessing.
So all we need is God right?
Crap, the last day I updated this dear blog of mine was back before the 9/11 commemoration… September 10 to be exact. Things have changed since then. A lot has changed.
Highlight #1: I am so so in love with college this semester. Basically, it's because I am in love with all the subjects. Majoring in Accounting is something I actually am in love with. Clearly, I am confusing. When there's millions out there avoiding this, what they imply, to be a disturbing subject. This semester my Accounting subjects include Auditing Theory and Practice (which I score a 3.25 GPA after mid-semester *yeahhhh*), Analysis and Interpretation of Financial Statements (3.0 GPA), and Cost Accounting Systems – Part 1 (3.5 GPA). Other subjects are Investment Mathematics (with a perfect 4.0 GPA), Principle of Banking Money and Credit (3.0 GPA) and Communication Skills (which basically is grammar bullsh*t, my lowest GPA is actually this subject). When it comes to Grammar, I actually suck!
Highlight #2: Well, my love life has been crappy. Here I am, holding my hopes up for this one person, waiting until reality strikes, and all that person did is actually ignore me…………. the last time we communicate was when I was "facebook unfriend"ed. But I still believe, even if my friends seems to implicate "nothing's ever gonna happen", I still believe. This is the only time my pessimism seems to be not working.
Highlight #3: Welllllll… nothing else I guess. My scriptwriting tasks is really really not taking a whole lot of my time since I'm busy with college.
Well here's to great days ahead. I promise I will always update this, from the bottom of my heart, I will…. see you when I see you…
Searching for someone to stood by our side, looking for that really special someone who'll make us laugh, fill our void with joy, protect us, remain by our side no matter what. We tend to look at the ones we love like no one else would. We see the edge of that person that makes him or her different from others. We look at them like no one else would. We see them when others don't.
Is it really true? Perhaps yes, perhaps not. What got us or make us wonder is whether they see us like no one else sees us? Do they give a crap how different we were? That answer is really one that we're afraid of knowing the answer to. We don't want to know the simple truth. The answer to "do you love me the way I love you?" is either black or white. Either yes or no. And the "no" is crappy, it has the power to bring us really down, really really down, it may even reach the depths of the ocean. But do know, why bother living with that question? You have to be thankful that you've successfully see and love a person the way nobody else would. Because its their loss. We have the decency to admit what we felt, and no matter how crappy it is, we did learn. Just think of it as God's way of telling us "hey you, you feel love, isn't that enough?".
Well I know this bears resemblance to my previous post. But it is completely different. Here I would like to discuss Dixie Chicks' Grammy-nominated song "I Hope". Here's an extract of the lyrics which is so touching:
Oh, Rosie, her man he gets too rough
That's all she can say, is he's a good man
He don't mean no harm
He was just brought up that way
But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
It's okay for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly
See how so secluded we are with the ones we love. Sometimes without even realizing we let affection conquers and cause pain. So let us not learn from Rosie who stood by her man and cause pain and suffering to those around her.
Definition of 'Hope' based on http://www.dictionary.com:
– the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best
– a particular instance of a feeling
– a person or thing around which expectations are centered
– to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence
– to believe, desire or trust
There you, hope is inevitably the only thing we can rely on when everything or everyone else seems to fail us. Life is a failure. It is unfair. I can go on and on. And in many events, we can only hope. We believe, we desire, we trust, we expect things to turn out for the best. But can it really go that way? Belief in hope is a very powerful ability. but once it was taken away from us, when all hope seems to fade, can we survive? Therefore, hope is a very funny thing. It gives us the strength to go through life and sometimes later, it gives us the desire to give up.

Pain Management
Pain Pump for Pain Management
I recently had an intracauthal pain pump inserted to manage my pain and the medication in my pump is Dilaudid. I am on 1.3 milligrams a day. Is this a high dose?
"High dose" is a relative term. In general, Dilaudid is a more potent opioid than Morphine and may be safer. A consensus guideline paper recommends not exceeding 4 mg of dilaudid intrathecally per day. However, using the minimum dose that results in pain relief is the safest approach. Younger patients may get tolerance to narcotics faster and more often than older patients. Often, a second drug is added intrathecally to achieve better pain relief and mitigate increasing the narcotic.

Best armor/bowgun setup for Rathian/Rathalos?
I'm tired of fighting them airborne so I was thinking about getting a bowgun. What are the best armor/bowgun combos for Rathian/Rathalos?
razzavatar - 7 years ago
They are week to lightning, so The Lagi bowgun might be a good choice for multi shooting lightning at em. Other than that Staying up is always better than a little offense. I would place a barrel with a shield on the bowgun, and Probably use Ian armor, or whatever has a skill set which works for you.
hope this helps.
Kyocus - 7 years ago
You should use a Lagiacrus Bowgun due to Rathian's weakness to Thunder. Then bring Thunder Shot, Slicing Shot and Dragon Shot (if possible to get, but I highly doubt it). You want to expend Slicing Shot on the tail to slice it off. You want to expend Dragon Shot on the head. Once the head is crippled, then expend heaps of Thunder Shot on her.
Assuming you haven't beaten Lagiacrus, and obtained the appropriate Barrel/Stock Codex (I think), then you will need to adapt the strongest weapon set that allows the firing of Thunder Shot and Slicing Shot.
For armour, you could go for either for Gigginox for Poison Immunity, or anything that will raise fire resistance. As a gunner, that shouldn't be too hard to do.
For items, potions, antidotes (if you don't have the resistance), steaks, firedouse berries (if you are too lazy to remember Stop, Drop and Roll) and any ammunition you don't mind expending, like Normal SLv3 (but more importantly, is compatible with your weapon set) and you should be fine.
Rathalos should just take a lot longer.
Auzzie_Wingman (Expert) - 7 years ago
Rathian are almost always on the ground... but rathalos just wait till it gets bak down an use either hammer or greatsword element water or thunder
vigegogames - 7 years ago
If you cant make rathling gun+ frame/stock go with this combo below.
My best bowgun for hunting them still is: Heavy bowgun frame, Thunducrus barrel, rathling gun stock.
I choose them because i can rapid fire Thunder S, but in a pinch i can use Dragon S (MAJOR DAMAGE!)
The armor i choose is Rathian, i have earplug skill. Plus you can use slicing shots to cut off there tails.
But now im going to use my Rathling gun+ frame, mainly for getting ready faster n_n
ICBM_16 - 6 years ago
Iknow this sounds stupid but i use lagiacrus armor with vulcannon the sheild takes away from fireballs and lagi gives element up so all elements increased incuding thunder andd water kiled world eater solo with vulcannon
woopwoop1297 - 6 years ago
Probs your best bet:
barrage earring, lagiacrus vest + with element + jewel gemmed in, escadora arma with 1 salvo jewel, lagia+ waist and leggings
my set that i have with that armour is: load up, element attack up, bonus shot, sneak and evade+ 1 (sense+ 10 evasion + 3 o talisman)
what i usually use for rathian/los is rapid dragon rather than thunder and the gun i use for that is chaos wing barrel, rathling gun + frame, rathling gun (low) stock for less recoil, but if you wanna thunder i would use thundacrus barrel, rex frame n stock works best for me
i would agree to anyone that says bowgun is best for all monsters

Urinary and Genital Disorders (Children)
Very dilute urine
I have a six year old boy who has been voiding more and more frequently over the past 4 weeks. Today he voided 18 time even though he only took in 10-12 oz of water. We had the urine tested by dip test and it had a very very low specific gravity and was very dilute. He is making 50-200 cc of urine each time he goes. He is to have a chemistry panel and UA. What could be the cause of this? What should we be looking for? Thanks
There is a condition called the daytime frequency syndrome that often occurs in boys at this age. They urinate 5 to 10 times per hour in small amounts, but typically do not have incontinence, either day or night. I would recommend filling out a voiding and fluid intake diary for several days. Then I would show it to your pediatrician or a pediatric urologist.

At the beginning of a new year many people look back and assess their last year's financial, vocational and personal accomplishments. It is a befitting time to add your last year's reflections and new year determinations about your couple relationship.
The intent of a year-end relationship assessment is not to relive the uncomfortable moments or rate each other's behavior, but rather to celebrate the positive aspects of your union and devise improvements for enhancing the less pleasing ones.
It is common for all beings to remember their disappointments about unmet needs more readily than their satisfaction with the gratified ones. The reason is that being unrewarded creates frustrations and pain and may even rattle our worth and lovability. In defensiveness, we may react by retaliating rather than problem solving toward increased relationship harmony.
When couples can regard their relationship not as an avenue for personal need fulfillment, but rather as an ever-evolving growth process for mutual satisfaction, they can devise a method for enhancing their personal and couple's happiness.
Being able to discuss your relationship with acceptance and love can assure greater promise for your relationship success and durability. Research by Ted Hudson and colleagues found, "the neglect of intimate and affectional interaction with a partner may have significant repercussions for relational harmony."
Professor Howard Markman of the University of Denver writes in "Fighting for Your Marriage," "I've found that couples who score higher on measures of teamwork are couples who also score highly on general marital satisfaction, commitment, confidence in the ability to constructively solve relationship problems, and communication quality."
Undertaking a year-end evaluation of your and your partner's relationship behaviors and doing it with kindness will boost your sense of teamwork and marital satisfaction, as well as empower you and strengthen your bond.
There are five major helpful questions to consider in reviewing your performance and your relationship satisfaction:
1. How pleased are you with the attention you gave and received from your mate?
2. How well did you communicate and how well were you responded to by your partner?
3. Were you a good teammate and did you value your spouse's contributions?
4. Did you give and receive emotional and physical intimacy?
5. Did you both practice and receive solid commitment from each other?
Offra Gerstein is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Santa Cruz for more than 25 years. Her Web site is www.relationshipmatters.com. Contact her at 476-7666.
State your individual relationship pleasures and list three areas for improvement.
Rate yourself first about areas of change you desire prior to asking your mate to help you become more satisfied. 'I realize I have not been physically affectionate enough with you this year as I miss more loving gestures from you.'
Express your needs in a positive way. 'I would love it if we could spend more time once a week in a couple's activity that did not involve the home or the children.'
Affirm each other's requests and state which ones you are willing to concentrate on this coming year.
Periodically and uncritically review your successes toward increased marital joy.

Spice Guys
Spicy food has lots of benefits for hulking humans. That's just one reason grown-ups acquire a taste not only for gin but also dark coffee and Tabasco sauce. The plants we think of as aromatic, that we use to liven up our dinners, contain volatile oils and chemical compounds. Those oils and compounds are "interesting," we say, "exotic." They tickle our taste buds. They spur our appetites. They're not quite so sexy if you're a smaller mammal or an insect, however, say a caterpillar or a rabbit, for whom chewing on a jalapeño is like eating a poison ivy salad: if it doesn't kill you outright, it'll at least make you uncomfortable enough that on your next garden foray you'll recall that you prefer romaine heads to habaneros, carrots to curry leaves. So cinnamon and pepper plants are well defended from all pests but one. They don't call us omnivores for nothing.
And when the thermometer goes way up? A Caribbean or Indian curry makes us, as Southern ladies like to say, "perspire." Which keeps us cool. Volatile oils in herbs like cilantro, thyme, and pepper also have antibacterial properties; witches, midwives, and family doctors have used them to soothe everything from canker to cancer. Turmeric and ginger are touted as arthritis remedies and help prevent Alzheimer's we're told (although those claims have not been evaluated by the FDA). Eat a couple of cloves of garlic a week and you might disrupt the metabolism of any tumors you happen to be harboring: The National Institute of Health tells us the stinking rose is a terrific immune system booster. Cinnamon has been found to reduce blood sugar, which is good news for diabetics. Cardamom helps you digest your lunch and makes your breath smell good. Cumin soothes a stuffy nose. Nutmeg puts the insomniac to sleep, or wakes a drowsy libido (it mimics the effects of Viagra); just don't eat too much of it, or you and your boner will be taking a magical mystery tour, since a few teaspoons of nutmeg will make you hallucinate like old Tim Leary.
And here's another piece of advice from a girl who's eaten her share of restaurant swill and paid her dues in tummy turmoils. Listen up, intrepid foodies, you swaggering braggarts sussing out the rarest slop from the filthiest roadside carts, you blustering swains with your tales of homemade goat's-head cheese and swine-bristle soup: The hotter the tamale, the less likely you are to spend the evening hugging a toilet bowl. Pepper, oregano, cloves, nutmeg, cilantro, and other hot stuff keep food from spoiling and can considerably lessen the likelihood that you'll end up flowing freely from both ends.

So next time your waiter asks, "mild, medium, or hot?" go for the gold, my friends. Tell him "eight;" tell him "ten." You'll eventually get used to the effects of capsaicin, the compound that puts the punch in paprika and the burn in burrito; the more you eat, the longer you'll live to love it. In Europe during the Middle Ages, pepper was so valuable you could pay your rent or your soldiers with it. An 1884 article in the New York Times reminds us that the landholding of Finchley, in Middlesex, England, was rented annually for a pound of peppercorns. There's an evolutionary reason why cultures in warm climates without working refrigerators have revered chilies and black pepper for centuries.
None of this is to imply in the slightest that you need suffer a moment's hesitation about the South and North Indian fare served at The India Palace. This three-year-old restaurant on Okeechobee Boulevard is wedged between a boutique selling saris and a grocery store purveying all the ingredients you'll need to replicate the Palace's menu at home. The only health dilemma you're likely to face at this wonderful, family-run eatery is the question of how many pounds you can afford to put on. Having tasted practically everything on their menu over a period of three weeks, I can attest that my digestion remains in excellent fettle. If I've been made at all miserable, it's been an existential sort of pain: for example, I wonder whether life without the Palace's palak paneer is really worth living. And there have been relationship snafus since my significant other and I discovered the place. Harsh words have been exchanged over the question of who got up at 3 a.m. and polished off the last of the aloo paratha and chicken tikka. We're going to have to hire a therapist to sort out our boundary issues, such as the question of when it becomes necessary to share a single leftover tandoori shrimp with your spouse.
In the time it takes to complete one lunar cycle, we've become contentious Palace regulars. Why can't all food taste this good? If a single family can turn out seven different kinds of bread, each more pillowy, buttery, fragrant, and delicately spiced than the one you ate here last week, or yesterday, or two minutes ago, what the hell is going on at other restaurants with their pre-frozen dinner rolls and stale crackers? The puri, chapati, roti, and naan at India Palace ($2.99 each, or $5.99 for a mixed basket) is made daily with their clay ovens and griddles, and they are very generous with the stuff. It soaks up those creamy, cashew- and yogurt-infused sauces around your chicken, lamb, or fish to make what must be the world's most perfect meal.
Furthermore (as long as I'm in decrying mode), we have the Palace's masala dosa ($9.95 for two), a transparent crepe made with rice and lentil flour, so crisp it shatters when you bite into it, rolled around a yummy slathering of curried onions and potatoes and paired with a dipping sauce of cool green coconut, coriander, and green chili chutney — why hasn't this magical snack become our national dish? Why haven't fast-food dosa palaces sprung up all over South Florida? And how is it our thirsty tropical populace has escaped becoming addicted to mango lassi ($1.75), a beverage far smoother, richer, and sweeter than any franchised smoothie? Such questions whirl 'round and 'round in my overheated little noggin.
Some people are addicted to mango lassis, our waiter tells us during our third visit. He has a customer who comes in regularly and drinks five tall glasses in a single sitting, he says. You've gotta figure one of these blended shakes, a super-sweet, pungent, deliciously odiferous concoction of yogurt and fresh mango, thick enough to practically eat with a spoon, is going to set you forward about 400 calories. So at one go this customer is putting away more than my entire daily caloric intake. He's definitely not going to fit into any of the teensy beaded fripperies selling next door at Fab India Boutique.
I love a mango lassi as much as the next girl, but with dinner I'll order the salt and mint lassi because, unless it's heavily spiked with something above 80 proof, I prefer my beverage savory. I've given up on the Palace's house wine — neither of the whites are any good and both were served too warm both times I ordered them. But it took me just two sips of the mint and salt lassi to acquire a taste for this drink that has never flagged. It's pretty much an ideal companion for the chicken samosa appetizer ($4.29), a chewy pastry stuffed with potatoes and chicken and livened with ginger, turmeric, and garam masala. It's marvelous accompaniment for palak paneer ($11.99), the beloved spinach and homemade cheese dish with its warm, wafting mists of cumin and coriander. Or with shahi korma ($12.99); chunks of lamb basted in a sauce made from cream, almonds, cashews, and a color-wheel of spices: saffron, cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, onion and garlic bulbs, ginger root, and black and cayenne pepper.
I haven't had a dish yet that I didn't love at the Palace, from a menu that ranges all over the Indian map — the tandoor dishes of the north, seafood from the coasts, and vegetable dishes, dosas, and the lentil donuts called vadas from the south. Some, though, were so special, so beautifully presented in their copper chafing dishes and sizzling skillets, and so ridiculously cheap considering the amount of pleasure they bestowed, that I'll recommend you try them first. In geographical order, the North Indian classics:
Eight jumbo tandoori shrimp ($17.99), coated with a classic tandoori marinade of yogurt, ground cumin seed and garam masala, among other ingredients, skewered and cooked in a clay oven and served in a skillet piled with gorgeous, just slightly charred vegetables — carrots, onions, broccoli, and squashes.
Chicken tikka palak ($12.99): a Punjab/British Empire concoction consisting of cubes of chicken first marinated and cooked in the tandoori (like the shrimp, above) then mixed into a creamy sauce with fresh spinach. Ideal with a side of paratha (potato-stuffed fried bread) or onion kulcha (potato and onion mixed into tandoori-baked bread and doused with butter), or even an entire basket of mixed breads — garlic naan and butter naan, plus deep-fried puri. Watch your neighboring diners, about half of them Indian families, to learn to eat gracefully with your hands, using the bread as a utensil.
Malai kofta ($10.99): the vegetarian's dream dish. Potato flour croquettes filled with cheese, vegetables, and spices, cooked with onions, green chilies, and curry leaves, and finally plunked into a bath of the most redolent gravy imaginable.
From the East Coast:
Fish moli ($15.99). Fillets of mahi cooked in coconut milk spiced with garlic, onion, green chilies, and curry leaves. We ordered ours extra hot. The firm flesh of the mahi absorbed every nuance of its complicated sauce.
From the South: Melt-in-your-mouth masala dosas ($9.99) with coconut chutney and sambar, a tamarind-based broth. Other choices include cheese dosas, the jumbo-sized ghee roast dosa, medhu vadas (fried lentil donuts), steamed lentil patties called idlis, and the uttapam pancake served with chutney.
For dessert, homemade chai ($1), again highly spiced, is enough. We've tried the mango ice cream and rasamilai ($2.99), a cooked cheese in sweet milk, and I wouldn't rate either above just O.K. If you're still hungry for a sweet, order your third or fourth mango lassi.
Now go get your spice on.

These festivals range from the much famed beer and untapped music festival, the texian market day, the International Quilt festival, the Nutcracker Market among many others. If you are a lover of festivals, clear up your calendar for these refreshing events that take place as the year ends.
Festivals lined up in October
The month of October happens to have very interesting festivals. The first one is the original Greek Festival. This festival will be celebrated for about four days, from the sixth until the ninth of October. This festival can be enjoyed by the entire family, the mum does not have to cringe on the thought of having her son seeing some things. It will be held at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral.
The other October festival in Houston 2016 is the amazing Texas Renaissance Festival which will be held for eight back-to-back weekends. The weekend festivals will each be themed and it usually contains performers such as magicians, comedians, jugglers and even minstrels.
For the art lovers, the Bayou City Art Festival will be held on the eighth and the ninth. Good music, sculptures, jewelry, good food, wine and beer will all be at your disposal. Kids are invited as there is a kids section also.
The Italian culture will be represented on the Fiesta Italiana festival which will be from the thirteenth to the sixteenth. St. Thomas University grounds will be the hosts. For those who prefer Cuban and Puerto Rican culture, they will need to tarry until the twenty second of October. This festival also has a car show lined up.
The untapped Beer and Music festival is not one that a person should miss. Good music and beer will be availed in plenty on the twenty second of October
Other October festivals in Houston 2016 are:
• Texian Market days also on the twenty second
• The Houston Egyptian Festival
• The Dia de los Muertos, which will happen from October the twenty seventh to November the fifth
November Festivals in Houston 2016
November is also full of great events for those who have not gotten their pick from October. The International Quilt Festival from the third to the sixth at the George R. Brown Centre will have a unique display of quilts, crafts and even supplies. The best part is that there will be special classes for the beginners up till the expert's level.
Day of the dead Festival is a day to commemorate the life of the departed souls. The host of this events is the national Museum of Funeral History and some of the displays will include Dia de los Muertos art and crafts. It shall be on the fifth.
The Nutcracker Market Festivals from the tenth to the 13 is a must event. A shopping extravaganza meant to usher in the festive seasons has easily become a national tradition. Clothes, foodstuff, furniture, jewelry and local businesses among others will be showcased.
The Annual interfaith Thanksgiving Service held on the seventeenth is a very important Houston event. . It is a free for all faiths event, held at Rothko Chapel, which was started about twenty years ago. Normally, there are representatives from the ten religions who normally participate.
The eve of thanksgiving is a buzz with numerous activities. The uptown Holiday lighting and the City of Houston Thanksgiving Day Parade are held on this day. These are all very old traditions that have spun for decades.
December line-up of Festivals in Houston 2016
The celebratory month begins with the Dickens on the Strand festival. It started as a simple potluck supper about twenty years ago and blew up to be a really big celebration of life. It is characterized by shinning parades, and continuous entertainment.
It is impossible to think anyone would want to miss the Mayor's Official Downtown Houston Holiday Festival on the second of December. Firework, Choirs and continuous entertainment is also available. The star of the show however is when the City Hall Tree is lite.
There is a beautiful line-up of festivals in Houston 2016. The year comes to an end with joy, laughter and celebrations. The more attenders, the merrier the events. The final festival of the year will be AdvoCare Texas Bowl which will be all about fun and games to close the year.

HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation
HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 Release Notes
4.13 OpenVMS Cluster Systems
The release notes in this section pertain to OpenVMS Cluster systems.
With few exceptions, OpenVMS Cluster software provides the same
features on OpenVMS I64 systems as it offers on OpenVMS Alpha and
OpenVMS VAX systems.
The following exceptions are temporary:
4.13.3 Satellite Booting and LAN Failover
For Alpha and Integrity cluster satellites, the network boot device
cannot be a prospective member of a LAN Failover Set. For example, if
you create a LAN Failover Set, LLA consisting of EWA and EWB, to be
active when the system boots, you cannot boot the system as a satellite
over the LAN devices EWA or EWB.
Integrity server satellite systems require DOSD (Dump Off the System Disk) for both the system crash dump file and system error log. Autogen will create the system dump on an appropriate disk once DOSD is enabled, but does not attempt to create the error log dump file (SYS$ERRORLOG.DMP). In order to preserve error-log entries across system failure, the error log dump file must be created by hand.
See the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems for information on enabling DOSD. After running AUTOGEN to create the dump file on the appropriate device, create the error log dump as follows:
4.14 Cluster Compatibility Patch Kits
Before introducing an OpenVMS Version 8.2--1 system into an existing OpenVMS Cluster system, you must apply certain patch kits (also known as remedial kits) to your systems running earlier versions of OpenVMS. Note that these kits are version specific.
The versions listed in Table 4-2 are supported in a warranted configuration. For more information about these configurations, see the HP OpenVMS Version 8.2--1 for Integrity Servers Upgrade and Installation Manual.
Table 4-2 lists the facilities that require patch kits and the patch kit file names. Each patch kit has a corresponding readme file by the same name with a .README file extension.
You can either download the patch kits from the following Web site or contact your HP Support representative to receive the patch kits on media appropriate for your system:
1This kit is required if you are running this software in your configuration.
4.14.1 Patch Kits Needed for Cluster Compatibility
Before introducing an OpenVMS Version 8.2 (or higher) system into an existing OpenVMS Cluster system, you must apply certain patch kits (also known as remedial kits) to your systems running earlier versions of OpenVMS. If you are using Fibre Channel, XFC, or Volume Shadowing, additional patch kits are required. Note that these kits are version specific.
The versions listed in Table 4-2 are supported in either a warranted configuration or a migration pair configuration. For more information about these configurations, refer to either HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems or the HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 Upgrade and Installation Manual.
Table 4-2 lists the facilities that require patch kits and the patch ID names. Each patch kit has a corresponding readme file with the same name (file extension is .README).
You can either download the patch kits from the following web site (select the OpenVMS Software Patches option), or contact your HP support representative to receive the patch kits on media appropriate for your system:
1For operating guidelines when using VAX systems in a cluster, refer to Section 4.13.2.
Note that VAX systems cannot be in a cluster with I64 systems. For a
complete list of warranted groupings within a cluster, refer to the
HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 Upgrade and Installation Manual.
OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1 introduced the multipath feature, which provides support for failover between the multiple paths that can exist between a system and a SCSI or Fibre Channel device. OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1 introduced support for failover between Fibre Channel multipath tape devices.
This multipath feature can be incompatible with some third-party disk-caching, disk-shadowing, or similar products. HP advises that you do not use such software on SCSI or Fibre Channel devices that are configured for multipath failover until this feature is supported by the producer of the software.
Third-party products that rely on altering the Driver Dispatch Table (DDT) of either the OpenVMS Alpha SCSI disk class driver (SYS$DKDRIVER.EXE), the OpenVMS Alpha SCSI tape class driver (SYS$MKDRIVER.EXE), or the SCSI generic class driver (SYS$GKDRIVER) may need to be modified in order to function correctly with the SCSI multipath feature.
Producers of such software can now modify their software using DDT Intercept Establisher routines introduced in OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2. For more information about these routines, refer to the HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3--2 New Features and Documentation Overview manual.
For more information about OpenVMS Alpha SCSI and Fibre Channel
multipath features, refer to Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations.
To ensure proper behavior of certain routines, a patch kit is required. Using those routines without the required patch kit can result in system hangs, crashes, or data corruption, and is not supported by HP.
For more information about these routines, see the HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3--2 New Features and Documentation Overview manual.
In rare cases, in an OpenVMS Cluster configuration with both CI and multiple FDDI, 100 Mb/s or Gb/s Ethernet-based circuits, you might observe that SCS connections are moving between CI and LAN circuits at intervals of approximately 1 minute. This frequent circuit switching can result in reduced cluster performance and may trigger mount verification of shadow set members.
PEdriver can detect and respond to LAN congestion that persists for a few seconds. When it detects a significant delay increase or packet losses on a LAN path, the PEdriver removes the path from use. When it detects that the path has improved, it begins using it again.
Under marginal conditions, the additional load on a LAN path resulting from its use for cluster traffic may cause its delay or packet losses to increase beyond acceptable limits. When the cluster load is removed, the path might appear to be sufficiently improved so that it will again come into use.
If a marginal LAN path's contribution to the LAN circuit's load class increases the circuit's load class above the CI's load class value of 140 when the marginal path is included (and, conversely, decreases the LAN circuit's load class below 140 when the path is excluded), SCS connections will move between CI and LAN circuits.
You can observe connections moving between LAN and CI circuits by using SHOW CLUSTER with the CONNECTION and CIRCUITS classes added.
If excessively frequent connection moves are observed, you can use one of the following workarounds:
4.14.5 Multipath Tape Failover Restriction
While the INITIALIZE command is in progress on a device in a Fibre Channel multipath tape set, multipath failover to another member of the set is not supported. If the current path fails while another multipath tape device is being initialized, retry the INITIALIZE command after the tape device fails over to a functioning path.
This restriction will be removed in a future release.
Automatic path switching is not implemented in OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1 or higher for SCSI medium changers (tape robots) attached to Fibre Channel using a Fibre-to-SCSI tape bridge. Multiple paths can be configured for such devices, but the only way to switch from one path to another is to use manual path switching with the SET DEVICE/SWITCH command.
This restriction will be removed in a future release.
The OpenVMS Version 8.3 installation includes the installation of the AVAIL_MAN_BASE SIP kit. This kit, in turn, installs the Availability Manager Data Collector.
The Data Collector in the AVAIL_MAN_BASE SIP kit has a defect that
causes it to collect lock contention data incorrectly. To correct this
problem, install the AVAIL_MAN_COL Version 2.6 kit, which is available
on the operating system update media.
The following sections contain notes pertaining to OpenVMS Galaxy systems.
Note that OpenVMS Galaxy is supported on OpenVMS Alpha systems only.
Because the HP OpenVMS Alpha Partitioning and Galaxy Guide is not being updated for this release, this note provides improved definitions of the word Galaxy, which depends on context.
4.16 Multiple nPartitions on Cell-based SystemsV8.2-1
If you have multiple nPartitions on your HP Integrity rx7620, HP
Integrity rx8620, or HP Integrity Superdome servers, and you are
running a multi-operating system environment with OpenVMS on one of the
nPartitions, one of the other operating systems might register an error
or event on the System Event Log (SEL) while OpenVMS is booting.
OpenVMS holds the SEL until it has produced a table of Field
Replaceable Units (FRU), which might cause other operating systems to
register an error or an event.
The OpenVMS Graphical Configuration Manager (GCM) is now supported for
AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Galaxy configurations. Previously, only
the Graphical Configuration Utility (GCU) was supported.
Permanent Restriction
On AlphaServer ES40 Galaxy systems, you cannot write a raw
(uncompressed) dump from instance 1 if instance 1's memory starts at or
above 4 GB (physical). Instead, you must write a compressed dump.
Permanent Restriction
When you implement Galaxy on an AlphaServer ES40 system, you must turn off Fast Path on instance 1. Do this by setting the SYSGEN parameter FAST_PATH to 0 on that instance.
If you do not turn off Fast Path on instance 1, I/O on instance 1 will
hang when instance 0 is rebooted. This hang will continue until the PCI
bus is reset and instance 1 rebooted. If there is shared SCSI or Fibre
Channel, I/O will hang on the sharing nodes and all paths to those
devices will be disabled.
Version 3.2D is the recommended version of OpenVMS Management Station for OpenVMS I64 Version 8.2 and higher and for OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2 and higher. However, OpenVMS Management Station is backward compatible with OpenVMS Version 6.2 and higher.
The OpenVMS installation includes OpenVMS Management Station Version
If you create eight or more volatile subkeys in a key tree and then reboot a standalone system or a cluster, the OpenVMS Registry server can corrupt a Version 2 format Registry database when the server starts up after the reboot.
To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
Note that Advanced Server for OpenVMS and COM for OpenVMS do not create volatile keys.

Historic Preservation
Noise Pollution
The City Structure Plan Map establishes the desired development pattern for Fort Collins, serving as a blueprint for the community's desired future. Key themes of the Structure Plan Map include:
Components of the City Structure Plan Map
The City Structure Plan Map diagrams a future city made up of four types of places: neighborhoods, districts, corridors, and edges. The organization of these places, their "structure," provides meaning and form to the community's vision. Please note City Plan contains specific principles and policies for each of these types of places.
Neighborhoods will serve as the primary building blocks of the community's built environment. Neighborhoods will be walkable and connected, and will include a mix of housing types. Neighborhoods will include destinations within walking distance such as schools, parks, neighborhood shopping, places of work, and civic uses.
The principles and policies for commercial districts emphasize a mix of uses in an attractive and pedestrian-oriented setting.
Districts are larger areas of activity, more general in nature, and are not intended to precisely correspond to existing or future zoning districts. As the community's primary commercial district, Downtown will be supported by other districts with unique or specialized uses and activities, such as Industrial, Employment, and larger neighborhood areas. Redevelopment of existing districts, such as the Downtown, Midtown, Campus West, and North College, will provide opportunities over time for more choices in housing, land use and transportation, as well as the establishment of a more walkable and distinct environment.
Corridors provide a connection between different areas or destinations. The primary corridors are travel corridors and "green" corridors. Corridors are not just about more streets and open space in Fort Coolins, they are about a network of travel routes, choices for how we move throughout the community, reducing our need for vehicle trips, linking pockets of green space, and maximizing every positive feature these corridors can contribute to Fort Collins. Major transportation corridors link our destinations and activities and make it easier to move around using various modes of travel. Among these are enhanced travel corridors, multi-modal corridors supported by complementary land uses that link key areas of the city together and link with regional connections. Other corridors such as the Poudre River, streams, drainage ways, and trails collectively create a network linking open lands to areas where residents live and work.
Edges form the boundaries of our community, both inside and outside of the Growth Management Area. Fort Collins will have different types of edges. In some cases, our edges will be our adjoining communities. The City of Fort Collins will recognize the planning efforts within the growth management and planning areas of the adjacent communities of Laporte, Wellington, Timnath, Windsor, and Loveland. In other cases, edges should reflect a transition from the developed areas to the rural character of Larimer County. These edges will take on many forms including open lands and natural areas, foothills, agricultural/rural lands, and urban estate development.
The following is a partial list of implementation actions identified as priorities in the Action Plan. Please refer to the Action Plan for a complete list of implementation actions.
Near Term (2011-2012)

New AMD APU, no sound from HDMI (Slackware 14.1 x64)
So I'm trying to get XBMC working (among other things today) and I believe this sound issue is my last large hurdle. I have an AMD APU, A10-6790K, and I have no sound. In my research I've come across I possible kernel bug where the Radeon audio is disabled by default, so I tried using the kernel parameter radeon.audio=1 in elilo.conf but I doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Is there something else I am missing here?
1. Upgrade to kernel 3.12, possibly better 3.13RC, there were some issues with HDMI audio in earlier kernels. You should use a 3.12 kernel anyways to get power-management of your APU fully working.
2. As you have already done, add the radeon.audio=1 parameter to the kernel command-line (and radeon.dpm=1 to activate dynamic power-management).
3. After booting try to enable HDMI audio:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio auto
So... compile a new kernel? So much for keeping this box on stable.
If you choose to use the open source driver you will have to live with the fact that you have to use a kernel that supports your hardware (usually something you should check before buying hardware for Linux).
Alternatively, just use the proprietary driver, in that case you don't have to change the kernel.
Update: I've got Linux 3.13.0 running on the computer in question and I'm still having problems. I can only select mute or 0 volume for the AMD HDMI. Anything else I should try?
It's working! Turns out ALSA wasn'y setting the right device as default, but me search using all the AMD related stuff was filling my results with junk. Got it working using the instructions here.

The Washington think tank Third Way has managed to make a lot of news lately by misrepresenting its research. It put out a paper by David Autor and Melanie Wasserman with some tentative results concerning the impact on children of growing up without a father present in the household. The paper found weak evidence that boys were less likely to graduate college under such circumstances, while girls were less affected. While the piece itself notes the tentative nature of this finding (the impact of growing up in a rural household on college graduation rates was equally strong), Third Way touted this "startling discovery." (Fans of this finding are no doubt troubled by same sex marriage, since it implies that boys raised by lesbian couples will be less likely to graduate college.)
Anyhow, Robert Samuelson naturally picks up on this finding to warn us about our future in a piece titled "family meltdown." Complaining about single parent families is old news, as is the growth of single parent families. (The increase in single parent households was largely a story of the 60s and the 70s. The percentage of children being raised in a household with just one parent has been relatively stable over the last quarter century.) What is new is that this complaint is coming from "a liberal think tank" rather than conservatives like Charles Murray.
It is not clear what makes Third Way liberal. It has called for cutting Social Security, focusing on deficit reduction at the expense of economic growth, and taken a variety of other positions that are not ordinarily associated with being liberal. There is nothing wrong with an organization adopting eclectic positions on issues, but it is certainly misleading for it then to be described as "liberal." Samuelson's description of Third Way may lead readers to believe that there is a consensus on the societal risks posed by his family meltdowns which is not at all true.

via press note:
"Hollywood Game Night" (1.1/4 in 18-49, 3.8 million viewers overall from 8-9 p.m. ET) jumped week to week by +22% in adults 18-49(to a 1.1 rating from a 0.9) and +19% in total viewers (3.785million vs. 3.176 million). In a highly competitive time period against CBS's "Big Bang Theory" and "Millers," Fox's "Hell's Kitchen" and ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" encore, "Hollywood Game Night" generated NBC's second-best 18-49 and total-viewer results in the time period since March 27, trailing over that span only the May 1 "iHeart Radio Music Awards."
- "Hollywood Game Night" matched the show's highest 18-49 rating since Feb. 27 (when its first Thursday telecast of the season averaged a 1.2 at 9 p.m. ET) and delivered its biggest overall audience since March 27 (4.283 million).
- Night 2 of "Rosemary's Baby" (1.0/3 in 18-49, 3.3 million viewers overall from 9-11 p.m. ET) grew substantially from its first half-hour to its fourth, by +38% in adults 18-49 (to a 1.1 rating from a 0.8) and by +31% in total viewers (3.8 million vs. 2.9 million). Night 2 of "Rosemary's Baby" retained 91% of its Night 1 rating in adults 18-49 (1.0 vs. 1.1 on Sunday, May 11 from 9-11 p.m.) and 90% of its Night 1 result in total viewers (3.312 million vs. 3.676 million).
- For its second hour from 10-11 p.m. ET, "Rosemary's Baby" tied for #2 among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49 and finished within 0.3 of a rating point of #1 among those nets (1.1 vs. 1.4 for CBS's "Elementary" season finale).

Kinda an off-topic question: where do you meet "normal" people these days who could potentially become your friends? We live in a large metropolitan area and people are either too busy, too neurotic or are so plugged into social-media that it is difficult to create meaningful relationships with them.
No announcement yet.
re: friendships
new posts
meetup.com has thousands of meetup groups throughout the country, focusing on many different interests (e.g., photography, hiking, singles, travel, languages, dancing...). I made many friends through a political group and a singles group in my area. It's worth searching the site to see if there any groups in your area that interest you. It's free unless you want to start your own group; group owners have to pay some amount to maintain the group's page on the site.
Note: I am not affiliated with that site in any way. I was just in a couple of groups in the past and found them enjoyable.Live your life and love your life. It's the only one you get.
This might sound cheesy, but one of the best ways truly is volunteering. You're going to meet people that you match up with pretty strongly in at least one area. If you're not happy, depressed, not working, etc... At least make yourself a little useful for someone else. You might find a purpose while you're doing it. All that may not describe you, but the same goes for anyone else reading.
do you have children ???? Plunket/preschool/school are a great way to meet parents - However if like me you moved to a new area - way after your childrens schooling, I actually agree with Wilton. DH joined Lions, and also the local golf club, and I have meet a few people that way. BUT my father always says - do not take 5 minutes to make a freind - take your time and you will know after a while whether thay are worth it.
and just as an aside "Don't make someone a priority if they only make you an option !""never let the truth get in the way of a good story "
...small steps....

TQP: I find for me that nutrition is much more important than what I do in the gym.
bloodorchid is always right
yes, it's easy to meet other parents if you have children. whether or not you and those parents have anything in common is another thing. lol the only thing most of my son's friend's parents have in common with me is the fact that they have a child who likes my child and goes to the same school. otherwise, there's not a whole lot of commonality.
in my own case, i just hew to my interests. Meet-up is great. Another thing is follow-up. If you like someone, you need to show/tell them that you like them and want to spend time with them by inviting them to similar or related things, or just tea/coffee, or whatever. Even random stuff. Seriously, I just do that.
And if they aren't interested in me (that's what "too busy" often means), then that's cool. But some people are, and so they'll follow the invite and follow up as well.
Honestly, the best way to making friends is not to go out with the intention of doing so, but to discover what you are truly passionate about in life. Once you start to pursue your real interests, you will meet people. Friendships will naturally evolve because you'll be joined by something that you both love.
People complain that London is hard to make friends in, but I never had that problem because I am passionate about lots of things and pursue knowledge and experience."I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."

For Spring/Summer 2013, timepieces range from the traditional and understated — the Nevil Brown in Havana brown — to eye-catching styles like the Chrono, with its flamingo pink strap and turquoise chronograph sub dials. Other designs such as the Lansen — with its steel sunray dial and woven leather band — slot in nicely somewhere in between, contemporary designs rooted in classic aesthetics. As with most TRIWA watches, this season's timepieces feature either leather bands by Swedish tannery Tärnsjö or summer-appropriate NATO straps in a spectrum of colorful, lightweight options.

Republican Insurance Scam
August 1, 2001
If an insurance company promises to cover a loss or claim,
why do the Republicans want them to be able to break their
promise? This is the heart of the debate on the rights of
patients to sue their HMOs. Presently, virtually everyone
knows that insurance companies will, as a matter of policy,
deny claims or delay payments of claims which are valid. For
the insurance company, it makes all the sense in the world.
They get to keep the money, and earn interest on it, and write
policies against the reserve. Maybe the claimant will die
or just go away. The claims adjuster is pressured to not pay
claims easily.
So the right to sue an insurance company is of paramount
importance. Without the right to sue, you will literally be
at the mercy of the insurance company to cover whatever it
pleases. The idea of arbitration is of course to make it less
likely that an insurance company will have to pay money. The
abitrators will be hired by the insurance company....and even
if they are instead hired by the state, they will be courted
by the insurance companies much like the judges are nowadays.
The insurance companies are HAPPY to pay massive sums for
political campaigns... heck, if they give say $1 million to
a governor, and he pushes through tort "reform" (which actually
just means insurance companies don't have to cover some claims
they did before) then they make out like bandits. Hmmm...
insurance companies... bandits... yeah, I can see the connection.
But I digress. If patients can sue the insurance companies,
the insurance companies will lose some money because they
will have to pay claims they would otherwise refuse to pay.
This is what the entire debate is about. The Democrats say
that insurance companies should not be able to break their
promises to those they insure. The Republicans say they should
be able to break their promises. Let us examine the common
Republican response to this fact:
1. "Well, if insurance companies have to actually meet
their obligations, they will have to raise rates and millions
of children will be without health insurance"
This is the most common argument. It is also utterly ridiculous.
Insurance is valuable only to the extent that it can be relied
upon to cover a claim or a loss. If you have a health insurance
policy that refuses to pay for medical treatment, you are
worse off than if you had no health insurance. See, you rely
on the insurance in making many decisions (how much cash to
keep on hand, whether or not to buy another policy that would
cover the claim, and so on). If you lose health insurance
that does not cover claims, you are better off because the
insurance only provides an illusion of protection.
Also, if the premiums do in fact go up, then the "spreading
of the risk," which is the philosophical basis for insurance,
is merely meeting market demands. Those Republican rascals
do so love a free market... except when it might make some
of their donors lose money.
2. "The trial lawyers will make tons of money and the
Democrats are in their pocket."
This argument is real fun! See, a lawyer never awards a single
dime in damages. A lawyer cannot award anything! The jury
awards money, and juries are made up of American citizens.
The Republicans and the insurance companies fear the citizen
jury, though, because in court, a multimillionaire is supposed
to have the same rights as the poor person. The Republicans
thrive on being the ruling class; they do not like the prospect
of being subject to the same rules as everyone else. The insurance
companies accept trials as a part of doing business, but just
as they are not subject to antitrust provisions, they like
to limit their liability wherever possible so as to maximize
their profit (and the salaries of their executives).
The multimillion dollar verdicts you read about are news
because they are so rare! For every big verdict, there
are literally thousands of smaller claims which will be thrown
out or settled for a small sum. You do not hear about these
claims because they are not news. Yes, some lawyers will make
money off of cases brought to force insurance companies to
meet their obligations. Guess what? The insurance companies
will have their own lawyers too who will usually make much
more money than the plaintiffs lawyers.
The jury system is a basic part of our system of government.
Insurance companies and Republicans hate it, because they
do not want the average citizen to have any power over their
conduct. That is why it is necessary for the Republicans to
demonize lawyers (many of whom are Republican).
3. "Well, if we have a patient's bill of rights, why not
cap damages at $500,000 to keep the juries from going hog
Simple. In every case where the verdict is excessive, the
insurance company has the right to seek a decrease in the
verdict. The insurance company also has the right of appeal
to a higher court in the event the vedict is not decreased.
The caps then become relevant only in those most egregious
cases where insurance companies have acted so horribly that
a multimillion dollar verdict will be allowed to stand. Why
should horrible conduct be protected?
Another point to ponder: say insurance company liability
will be capped at $500,000. Let's say you get into a severe
accident and after surgeries, physical therapy, speech therapy,
job retraining, and so on the bill will be in excess of $1
million. Do you think your insurance company will pay $1 million
if its liability is capped at $500,000? Especially when the
$500,000 would have to be paid say two years from now, after
a lengthy court battle? Trust me, they would not pay a dime.
Finally, there is the REAL reason Republicans oppose a patient's
bill of rights:
"A patient's bill of rights will cost our big campaign
donating insurance companies and their executives lots of
money, and they won't have as much to give to the Republicans'
next campaign if that happens."
Well at least it is the truth. You won't ever hear a Republican
admit it though!

CAESAREA, Israel and TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 3, 2016
CAESAREA, Israel and TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Keystone Heart Ltd., an emerging medical device company focused on developing cerebral protection devices for patients undergoing cardiovascular procedures, announces data recently published in the American Journal of Cardiology demonstrating new brain lesions in 94% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) (n=34) prior to hospital discharge.
"These data show the realities of stroke risk among patients undergoing TAVR, and underscore the need for physicians to mitigate the peri procedural brain injury," said Jeffrey W. Moses, MD. Professor of Medicine Columbia University Medical Center
Neuro-TAVR, a prospective, observational study conducted in 5 centres in the U.S., evaluated 44 consecutive patients who had undergone TAVR and findings demonstrated:
Importantly, the results likely underestimate the true degree of cognitive decline because subjects with larger cerebral infarctions were less likely to complete subsequent cognitive assessments, according to study authors.
"These data underscore the wide spectrum of neurologic injury after TAVR and emphasize the critical need for meaningful standardized assessment methods and definitions - that incorporate neurology expertise - in reporting neurologic outcomes in clinical trials," says lead author Alexandra Lansky, MD, Professor of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine.
The trial was conducted at Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut; The Heart Hospital, Baylor University, Plano, Texas; Baptist Hospital of Miami, Miami, Florida; St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, New York; and College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York.
While this study is the first of its kind in the United States, numerous other studies conducted in Europe have shown similar results demonstrating that 58% to 100% of patients have new brain damage by imaging following TAVR.
Additionally, other published and presented data have supported the safety and benefits of brain protection for patients undergoing TAVR using Keystone Heart TriGuard device. Recently, data presented as part of PCR London Valves 2016, demonstrated the safety and efficacy of covering all three cerebral branches with the TriGuard™ Cerebral Embolic Protection device reducing significantly both clinical symptoms and new brain lesions post TAVR (Lansky et al, London Valves 2016).
About The TriGuard™ Cerebral Protection Device
Keystone Heart's TriGuard™ is the only cerebral protection device designed to provide full coverage to all brain territories to minimize the risk of cerebral damage during TAVR and other cardiovascular procedures. The CE marked TriGuard™ device is shaped to accommodate anatomic variations of the aortic arch. Formed to withstand potential interface with the TAVR delivery system and other procedure related accessories, it uses a Nitinol® frame and mesh — flexible and atraumatic, yet robust and sturdy.
The TriGuard Cerebral Protection Device is placed via one of two femoral artery access ports typically used in TAVR, thereby eliminating the need for a third puncture site. It deploys rapidly, and self-positions through a small 9F catheter. It provides stable, atraumatic protection, with simple retrieval.
The TriGuard Cerebral Protection Device has been granted the CE Mark in the European. In the United States, the device is currently available for investigational use only.
About Keystone Heart
Keystone Heart Ltd. is a medical device company developing and manufacturing cerebral protection devices. The company is focused on protecting the brain from emboli to reduce the risk of brain infarcts during TAVR, surgical valve replacement, atrial fibrillation ablation and other cardiovascular procedures.
Headquartered in Israel with US operations in Tampa, FL, Keystone Heart is dedicated to advancing patient care through innovative technology and clinical research. The Company's management has extensive experience in the fields of interventional cardiology and medical devices. For additional information, please contact us.

Employers race to identify best young talent
One is the strength of the general economic rebound, coupled with the government's 10 mega-infrastructure projects, which is creating a need for skills in every engineering discipline. The other factor reflects the fact that companies outside the immediate sector - typically, financial institutions - remain keen to hire engineering graduates, valuing the clear thinking and analytical approach they bring.
"There's no doubt that the competition for talent has become much tougher in the past two years," says Connie Lam, human resources director at CLP Power Hong Kong. "Therefore, we have to make every effort to identify the best young people early and interest them in a career with the company."
These efforts begin through partnerships with local secondary schools and extend to internships and one-year scholarships. The aim is to ensure an up-to-date understanding of what engineering has to offer and to counteract a demographic shift that has seen fewer students choosing this path. "We always take a long-term view in formulating HR strategy," Lam says. "Part of that is to make sure students know how technology is changing. We also want them to see how CLP is investing to provide electricity for the mega-infrastructure projects and to support the government's vision on climate change."
Such developments, she notes, mean the business is always evolving. So, whether starting as graduate trainees, junior technicians or qualified professionals, recruits receive extensive training and development that continue throughout their career.
There are two distinct aspects to this. The first focuses on providing technical knowledge through formal instruction and on-the-job experience. For graduate trainees, this leads to chartered status in a specific discipline, such as electrical engineering.
The second concentrates on the "softer" side - leadership skills, management know-how and team-building exercises - to equip individuals for more senior positions and enable them to switch between different roles.
"Some people are looking to move into managerial roles leading a function or a team; others prefer to become subject matter experts," Lam says. "We have a commitment, though, to invest in ongoing training and development and provide a challenging career path."
TK Chiang, acting manager in CLP Power's system operation department, is quick to endorse that point. In nearly 20 years with the company, he has seen the increasing importance of multidisciplinary skills.
In the past three years he has worked on roles that included corporate planning, and is now overseeing the computer system that controls the power network.
"Every time I move, it is like a new job because each role is totally different and has its own challenges," he says. "In the frontline job, time to restore supply was always the number one priority. But in corporate planning where I was in charge of negotiating the scheme of control with the government, it required business and commercial knowledge and more `human' skills."
Chiang encourages potential recruits to look to the long term and to realise the importance of an employer's commitment to staff development. He notes that the engineering industry is very broad in scope. This means larger organisations, such as CLP, offer an expanding choice of international assignments and the chance to get involved in cutting-edge projects.
The company aims to be a leader in "green" technology, so the next few years will see the introduction of emission-control equipment, a transition to more renewable energy sources, and increased focus on energy efficiency and conservation initiatives. The commercial viability of electric vehicles is also likely to be a hot topic and may ultimately have a dramatic impact on Hong Kong's urban landscape.
"We are one of the first companies in Hong Kong to formulate strategies that support this vision," Chiang says. "Our engineers have the chance to involve themselves in so many different things."
That is something Winnie Lau has come to appreciate. Three years after completing a degree in electrical engineering at Polytechnic University, Lau is overseeing maintenance projects at CLP's Castle Peak power station as a grade two engineer in generation integrated services.
"Doing a three-month internship the summer before graduation definitely helped me to understand the company," Lau says. "I was developing e-learning packs and saw that the company put a lot of resources into training young engineers, not just in their first one or two years."
Confident of that support, she has now set herself a series of career milestones. "I want to be in charge of larger projects, So I can make use of all the skills I'm learning," she says.

I bought these invitations for my wedding. They are very pretty and are good quality. They came fast in the mail which was a plus. Very time consuming to put invitation all together. You have to buy ribbons at an additional cost and then you have to tie them all yourself. Also have to fold outside paper yourself. Invitations are heavy and thick so you have to buy extra postage to send out, which is expensive. Overall good invitations but takes time to get together.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Monster's University
I'm going to flat out say if the entire movie were as good as the last 30 minutes of this movie this would have been an easy 10 out of 10 (Or Golden Star since that's my highest rating), but the first hour and a half isn't, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good and entertaining. I really enjoyed the movie as a whole though, my biggest complaint is they could have done a lot more with Randy (Randall) than they did in this movie, they could have delivered a lot more heart to his character and why he went from how he was in the beginning in this movie to the end (unlike the way they did it). I also found MU really funny (especially some of the ending bits, that's where I laughed the hardest) and laughed harder at points (though not as consistent) as, good, full-out comedies like This is The End (Really good actually). The performances and animation were obviously great (I mean obviously they are, it's Pixar), and I honestly thought this was a very solid step up from Brave, although it did not restore Pixar to their glory days, it got close at points but lacked the consistency. Overall I loved parts of the movies (yet the parts I loved were outweighed by the parts I merely liked), but I can say this movie did prove Pixar can do prequels right, unlike 99% of the prequels out there. 8.7/10 for MU (But I will say the last 30 minutes of this movie was probably some of the best stuff I have seen in theaters in 2013)
Side note: The short before the movie was really good and worth seeing (the CGI-animation was absolutely stunning with how real it looked).
