BOREHOLE FLOW METER TECHNIQUES:For Assessing Bedrock Stratigraphy and Fracture Hydraulics
Measuring the vertical movement of water in wells and boreholes can be a key to understanding the subsurface hydraulic environment. Borehole flowmeters can measure both the direction and velocity of vertical flow along well bores, and these flows relate directly to aquifer parameters such as transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, vertical head profiles, and the presence of fractures or permeable features along boreholes. Quantitative interpretation of borehole flow data can provide estimates of hydraulic parameters and be directly related to hydrostratigraphy.
This webinar will discuss the common types of flowmeters and associated equipment in use today, including both mechanical spinner and heat-pulse systems. Participants will learn the basic theory of operation, pros and cons of various systems, and appropriate application for flowmeter testing. The webinar will address tool calibration and appropriate field procedures for obtaining reliable data. The webinar will also demonstrate data interpretation and presentation methods.

Have you turned off hyperthreading in your BIOS. If the above still does not make a difference boot the system with the option /MAXCPU=1 behind ACPI.PSD.
As I said, running CHKDSK with /F did not repair the situation.
One night everything works perfectly, next morning I'm stuffed.
QuoteOne night everything works perfectly, next morning I'm stuffed.As even your older archives do not work anymore this is very strange. Usually you install new stuff or change some drivers and problems start arising. But when even the oldest archive do not work config.sys and os2x.ini entries do not trigger the problem. Even more basic things are only bios settings and hardware changes which I can think of. AHCI/IDE settings, overclocking, broken PSU (yes I've that one time in the past where most of the time the system works but sometimes the WPS came not up fully), ....
I am not using the cutdown version of xwp that ArcaOS installs so cannot test this myself but the full xwp has a Panic mode. Try pressing the Shift key during Desktop startup (press just as the screen changes from black to colour) and run xfix from the displayed menu. Hopefully that will resolve the problem.

I've said this before and I'll say it again…
We are so VERY blessed to have a close friend who is a professional photographer!
And this friendship paid off… yet again… this past Sunday when Misty offered to do a maternity shoot for us!
So, we packed everyone up and headed out to Beauty Spot at the top of Unaka Mountain (on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina).
We didn't take the photo shoot too seriously. I mean, honestly… what's the point when you're trying to include a child who is 2 1/2 years old. We just tried to have fun and make the most of the gorgeous scenery. And in the end I think we ended up with some really beautiful pictures (as well as a few silly ones)… not just of me and the bump, but of Craig and Bailey as well!
All pictures courtesy of Spangler Photography! Thank you again Misty… you're awesome!

Diabetes is a major health concern in the United States, with 8.3% of the population affected. One promising treatment for diabetes is transplantation of insulin-producing pancreatic islets;however, there are issues with immune rejection making this procedure impractical for most patients. Testicular Sertoli cells (SC) are immune privileged cells that have been shown to survive and protect co-grafted islets when transplanted across immunological barriers in male and female diabetic rodents without immunosuppression. In fact, the male and female recipients maintained normal blood glucose levels long-term and were reproductively normal. However, the mechanism for this protection remains unresolved and more recent studies have shown that the protective ability is variable. Thus, if we are to improve the protection of co-transplanted SC/islet grafts as a treatment for diabetes, more information is needed on the mechanism of SC immune protection. Recently, we have observed a correlation between regulatory T cells and SC graft survival. In this proposal, we will test the hypothesis that immune privileged SC protect co-transplanted islets by inducing regulatory T cells and that the observed variability in islet graft survival is due to differences n the ability of SC to induce these regulatory T cells.
In aim 1, the importance of regulatory T cell in SC protection of co-transplanted allogeneic islets will be determined by depleting the regulatory T cells and examining the effect on islet graft survival. In addition, whether mice injected with regulatory T cells isolated from successful SC/islet co-grafts prior to transplantatin with islets will improve the protection (decrease the variability) provided by SC will be tested.
I aim 2, the mechanism for induction of regulatory T cells by SC will be examined by determining the importance of immunoregulatory factors expressed by SC in the induction of regulatory T cells. Collectively, these aims will determine the importance of regulatory T cells in SC protection of co-transplanted allogeneic islets. Further, they will provide information on how SC induces regulatory T cells and protect islet grafts. Ultimately understanding the mechanism for SC immune protection of islets is important because it has the potential to improve islet transplantation by eliminating the need for chronic immunosuppression.
Pancreatic islet transplantation is currently being studied as a potential cure for diabetes;however, there are issues with immune rejection making this procedure impractical for most patients. Immune-privileged Sertoli cells could be used to improve islet transplantation as they survive and protect co-grafted islets when transplanted across immunological barriers without immunosuppression. However, the protective ability is variable and the mechanism of protection is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this application is to examine the mechanism for Sertoli cell immune protection, which could be used to improve the survival of Sertoli cell/islet co-transplants as a treatment for diabetes.

In addition, deploying SD-WAN will have many advantages, both in terms of cost and security. Carrier-grade MPLS connections are typically affected by supply time and are generally more expensive, while Internet links are typically much cheaper than carrier-grade MPLS connections, and SD-WAN technology enables organizations to effectively utilize all available network connections to meet all their needs. Without worrying about maintaining an idle backup link.
Traffic encryption is more secure
At the security level, SD-WAN can encrypt traffic during WAN traffic transmission and improve network security by fragmenting the network. Once compromised, the loss can be minimized. SD-WAN also helps IT administrators continuously monitor the amount and type of traffic on the network and quickly detect attacks.
SD-WAN infrastructure revenue increased by 83.3% in 2017 to reach $833 million, and the market is becoming more competitive. Traditional network providers are looking for M&A strategies to complement their existing products or in this rapidly expanding Get a foothold in the market.
Rohit Mehra, vice president of IDC's network infrastructure at International Data Corporation, said that the emergence of SD-WAN technology is one of the fastest industry transformations seen over the years, and organizations of all sizes are modernizing their WANs for a range of Cloud-enabled applications provide a better user experience.

Welcome to my kid's fashion post for #ALivelyStyle. I'm linking up with Hannah from Make Do and Push. Go check out the rest of the link ups for lots of fashion inspiration for your own kids. I certainly love seeing different outfits, the brighter the better!
We've been at the PYO farm again, we will continue visiting until we have pumpkins ready for October.
Alexander's outfit consists of a hat with a cactus print and a doughnut and fast food print short-sleeved shirt, both from Tu at Sainsbury's. Blue shorts are from Matalan and his black and white trainers are from Mothercare.
What a surly look!
Have a great weekend! I wish we had the weather from those photos today, it is absolutely tipping it down!

1. A long-term approach to investing is essential
The majority of returns are driven by asset allocation and it is important to get this right.
2. We do not have perfect foresight
We cannot predict what will happen tomorrow and so we ensure that portfolios are properly diversified.
3. Financial markets are not always efficient
We can add value through tactical tilts in portfolios.
4. Emotional responses can damage wealth
Making decisions based on emotions can be damaging. We try to rely on experience, discipline and patience.
5. Independence and openness is important
We collaborate with specialist third parties where their expertise is greater than our own.
6. Controlling costs is critical
The impact of costs can be significant. We implement investments flexibly (active or passive) and are always striving to drive down costs.
7. Learn lessons
We are constantly reviewing and evolving our investment process.
Risk comes equal first
Management of risk is an equal and active part of the investment decision-making process shaping your clients' portfolios.
Most companies have risk departments, but at 7IM we believe our integrated and active risk practices are market-leading. Risk management is at the heart of our business. Our specialist risk team work in parallel with our investment team, but independently, reporting to our Chief Financial Officer as opposed to the Chief Investment Officer. They provide a system of checks and balances which help to strengthen our rigorous and disciplined investment approach.

I woke up this morning and thought 'Today is Thursday – Woop". Well, actually I woke up by being pushed out of bed by my wife and pulled out by the kids wanting their breakfast…
The routine, its the routine
So, we have a routine in the morning. Little Mr gets up and the first thing he want is to go downstairs and have his breakfast. Now, he may change the routine from time to time if he gets up really early – but on a general day, this is the routine.
If I'm ready for it or not, this is the routine 🙂
Today was no exception – other than the pushing me out of bed and pulling me out… Just 5 more minutes 🙂
Kids done, school run
Breakfast done, kids ready done, in school done. Work Boo… Well, at least it was Thursday. To be honest, it seemed to go quite quick – or at least I can't remember much of what I did today. Work is work and I never talk about work (partly as I am not supposed to anyhow).
Home to a hearty dinner
Today we had a delivery from MuscleFood. We thought we'd give it a tryout – so today I got home to a hearty meal. This first taste was good – we have some other mean to try. I'll let you know how it goes (by the way, this is not a paid advert – we really did try it and I just wanted to share the link).
Time had come for the bedtime fun
After dinner, there was time for a game or two with little Mr before bed. Though, as I often say, bedtime seems to be a game for him too. He went up and 7:30pm, and after numerous put back, he finally nodded off at, unsurprisingly, at 9:15 – he seems to usually go to sleep anytime from around 9:15pm onwards.
Still, now I have time to do a little update or two to my sites ya.
I recently came across the following quote
"If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."
― Maya Angelou
This is my new goal in life. Not to conform to be normal, but to be amazing and I hope to inspire you to be amazing too.

Advent is here: the season that beckons us to remember our past and where we came from and yet also compels us to look to the future of the promised Messiah.
In the midst of schedules, homework, church obligations, holiday concerts, parties, and play…
We are called to pause for a moment and focus on God, our Creator and on Christ, the Bringer of Peace.next >
Comfort, comfort my people! says your God. Speak compassionately to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her compulsory service has ended, that her penalty has been paid, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins!
Isaiah 40:1-2next >
No matter how much I loved traveling or summer camp or even school, it was always so comfortable to get back home and sit down on my couch. As I would sit there the rest of the world seemed to become a little easier to bear.
"Comfort" was the message the Lord shared with the people of Israel. After trials, tribulations, and pain, the people were given a message of relief. How many of us would think of our relationship with God as comfortable?
Perhaps what God has in mind is that after all of the craziness of the year — after all of the tests, the schedules, the drama of everyday life — we can sit down, breathe deeply, and simply be present with our Creator once again. God calls us to this place of comfortable presence. This season of Advent, we are called to return home to be with our God.

Loving God, thank you for this day. Allow me to breathe in deeply, to exhale slowly, and simply be present with you, my Creator, my great peace. Amen.next >
May we be comforted by your history of loving us, dear Lord, at peace with your daily presence, and energized for the adventures that lie ahead.

When a customer came to me wanting to build an custom mustang on steroids, the journey began. Being in business for 12 years building one of a kind show cars stretching across three countries (USA, Canada, England,) playing with fiberglass is nothing new to us Knowing how important and cost effective it is to start with a good product, researching for a body kit to order was not a tough battle at all after seeing Mustangs To Fear's kit. The MTF kit had great reviews and a lot of photos on their website to back it up. Having flanges with the hardware already built in is half the battle and the quality and thickness of the fiberglass is second to none. The customer service was amazing and it is a nice feeling when you call and can talk not only to a person, but the owners themselves. I would recommend MTF to anyone looking for a body kit for their mustang, I can not stress enough how much work and money a cheaper kit on the market will end up costing you in the end to make look even close to what you receive out of the box from MTF.

For the next 20 weeks, we'll be rounding up the runners-up to our 2011 Best of Houston® winners. In many categories, picking each year's winner is no easy task. We'll be spotlighting 20 of those categories, in which the winner had hefty competition from other Houston bars and restaurants.
If you were lucky enough to get in the door at last night's packed Tequila & Tamales event, you just may have found a new favorite margarita in town. In case you didn't, here's our guide to where you can indulge in a cocktail that's every bit a winter drink as it is a summer cocktail.
10. Xuco Xicana
Home of both the original El Patio margarita and their own house blends, this Midtown Tex-Mex mecca lets you go traditional or upscale.
9. El Patio
The original "Club No Minors" still cranks out some of the headiest margs in Houston. And, yes, they're still neon blue.
A margarita and a tumbler full of shrimp campechana here, and I'm in Gulf Coast seafood heaven. It's a timeless pairing, like crunchy peanut butter and grape jelly. Both are a little pricey, but they're top quality...plus, you're dining in an old, restored rail car, and that can't be beat.
The secret to the margaritas at Spanish Village was helpfully revealed by Houstonist's Kaylan Tannahill back in 2009: "They do not serve frozen margaritas, rather they freeze the lime juice which fractures when the drink is mixed." Just one more thing to love about the old Medical Center favorite (that, and the queso).
This old-school Bellaire favorite has been serving some of the city's best margaritas since 1984. Unfortunately, the live music -- which is one of the most charming things about Pico's -- only runs from Wednesdays through Sundays, so no mariachis for you tomorrow night. Drown your sorrows in a PicoRita Silver or Gold. Both come in a regular size for $5.95 or a "Mucho Grande" size (48 ounces!) for $15.
Along with its new makeover, the original Ninfa's now has revamped margaritas too. Try the winter spiced margarita, one of the new concoctions borne out of a consultancy with Anvil's Bobby Heugel. Or if you're a traditionalist, stick with the old Ninfa's house blend -- they're still cranking it out after all these years.
Frankly, I'd be disappointed if a place called TQLA didn't offer excellent tequilas and margaritas. TQLA also happens to serve up some excellent nuevo Southwestern/Tex-Mex cuisine, but even if you're only in the market for a margarita it's still high on my list of recommended watering holes. Just steer clear on weekend evenings, when Washington Avenue switches into high gear.
3. Chuy's
God bless Chuy's Texas Tinis and their addictive jalapeño-stuffed olives. These "house" margaritas are always velvety smooth and served up in a classy martini glass that almost makes you forget that you're dining in a restaurant filled with Elvis paintings and photos of people's dead dogs. During happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m., the Texas Tinis are only $6.95. (That seems like a lot for a happy hour price, but these are top-shelf drinks.)
2. El Gran Malo
Of course a place that specializes in tequila infusions should have great margaritas, and El Gran Malo makes its bizarre blends with aplomb. There are standards, of course, like a strawberry that tastes like fresh preserves. But be adventurous here: Try a pecan-infused margarita for a warm, Texas twist or a golden beet blend if you're feeling brave.

1. Hugo's
This year's Best of Houston® winner gets points for its tequila selection alone -- which features more than 40 choices, counting its bottles of mezcal. Sommelier Sean Beck dreams up exciting twists on the classic cocktail, like El Sueño Profundo with smoky mezcal, but it's the standard Hugorita for $7.50 that we like best. Created with Sauza Silver, Hiram Walker Triple Sec, simple syrup and fresh lime juice, it's mixed tableside. We also love the Y Porque No margarita for only $5 during its weekday happy hours.

Statement of the President on Military Bases (June 2, 2002):
"Our Constitution prohibits foreign military bases in our territory. This is known to all nations."
Sure, sure. Pero gagalangin ba ng boss mo ang Konsti natin? Kung international law nga, tinatapakan nito masunod lamang ang layaw, e.
Kaya nakakaalarma pa rin itong ulat ng LA Times na inilathala ng Today na nagdala ng bulung-bulungan hinggil sa posibleng pagbabalik ng base militar ng Kano at nagtulak kay Ate Glo na maglabas ng ganyang pahayag:
Pentagon wants to base U.S. ground troops in R.P
By ESTHER SCHRADER Los Angeles Times News Service
WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is planning a broad realignment of troops in Asia that may include moving Marines out of Japan and establishing a network of small bases in countries such as Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, where the United States has never had a permanent military presence, senior administration officials say.
Part of the plan is to seek permission to base ground troops in the Philippines, they said.
Napapa-react tuloy si Ka Satur Ocampo na "$356 million (in US military assistance pledges) is not worth selling our national sovereignty."
Kaso lang, nabenta na ata. Mai-exempt pa nga ang GIs sa International Criminal Court kung magloko sila rito sa atin. Basahin ninyo ang excuse ni Foreign Affairs secretary Ople.
Ay, hirap ng lideratong wika nga lang ni Mart ay tsinelas ng Kano!

In spring, Philadelphia star chef Michael Solomonov is launching Rooster Soup Co., where he'll be making this broth with all of the chicken trimmings from his über-successful fried-chicken-and-doughnuts franchise, Federal Donuts. The broth will be the basis for all the soups the luncheonette will serve, and profits will be turned over to a local organization that helps the homeless. Slideshow: More Warming Soup Recipes
How to Make It
In a large stockpot, cover the chicken bones with 6 quarts of water and bring to a boil over moderately high heat, skimming as necessary. Add the remaining ingredients and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook over moderately low heat until the broth is a light golden color and slightly reduced, about 6 hours. Strain the broth and let cool.

In an increasingly multicultural society, medical interpreters are in demand in almost every type of healthcare setting. Employers are seeking multilingual individuals who can demonstrate fluency in English as well as other languages. While individuals who are bilingual may have the foundation to become professional interpreters, they are required to have a medical interpreting training course in medical terminology, ethics, and medical procedures and protocols, all of which are included in our medical interpreting courses.
While individuals who are bilingual may have the foundation to become professional interpreters, they are required to have a medical interpreting training course in medical terminology, ethics, and medical procedures and protocols.
The course meets the certification criteria established by the National Board of Certification and prepares interpreters to take the National Certification Test. Students will receive a certificate of completion from the community college.
Hospitals, community health centers/clinics, governmental health agencies, social services providers, insurance companies, school systems and translation and interpreter services agencies.
Contact the community college where you want to take the course. Because language skills must be assessed before being accepted into the course, students must register at least two weeks in advance.
"Transfluenci EDU has been offering the Medical Interpreting course at STCC since 2007. The course is fabulous and very popular with our bilingual students. As the diversity of the College increases, so does the interest and demand for the Interpreting course. The course materials are very well organized and presented in a student friendly way. Upon completion of the course, our students are very well positioned to begin their work as medical interpreters."
"Working with TransFluenci EDU to offer the Medical Interpreting Course has been a very positive experience. They have been fully invested since day one and really maintain an open line of communication to make sure everything is running smoothly. We have our largest enrollment this semester (2011) and look forward to continuing enhancing the partnership with TransFluenci EDU. This training is so valuable with all the community-based organizations and healthcare facilities in Central Massachusetts. The Quinsigamond Community College Training and Education Center is pleased to provide this beneficial training opportunity to the individuals in our service territory."

The second half of Luke's history of the church, which was commissioned by Theophilus. It covers the actions of the Apostles from Christ's ascension to heaven to Paul's imprisonment in Rome.
Acts of the Apostles
The fifth book of the New Testament canon, the Acts of the Apostles is unique within the New Testament in continuing the story of Jesus within the events of the early church. Acts follows events from the ascension of Jesus to Paul's journey and arrival in Rome.
Acts is widely considered the second volume in a two part work along with the the Gospel of Luke. Together, this two-volume work is referred to as Luke-Acts. Collectively, Luke and Acts make up over a quarter of the New Testament, contributing more words than any other single writer.

Timberwolves 99 - 94 Knicks
Foye's hustle leads Timberwolves over KnicksApr 8, 2007 - 6:16 AM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Rookie Randy Foye didn't give up. As a result, the New York Knicks might be all done.
Foye scored 19 points and sealed the win with crucial work on the offensive glass as the Minnesota Timberwolves continued the Knicks' spiral out of the playoff race with a 99-94 victory.
Losers of 11 of its last 14 games, New York (31-44) is three games back of Orlando (34-41) for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with just seven contests left.
"I wasn't nice to them in the locker room tonight," Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said. "I was very upset with them. All season long, we fight and we battle and do the little things we need to do to complete a play. We don't do the little things."
But the Knicks had a shot in the waning moments.
After rookie Renaldo Balkman's layup cut New York's deficit to 96-94 with 15 seconds left, the Knicks fouled Foye, who made 1-of-2 free throws. But he did not sulk after missing the second attempt.
Foye jumped over several Knicks and tapped the ball to teammate Craig Smith, who fired the ball out to Kevin Garnett - thwarting New York's attempt at a comeback.
"Every time you are in a close game, it is the little things that hurt and kill you," Thomas said. "It is not the monumental things. All season long, we do the big things and we do the monumental things, and we actually do them quite well, but when it comes down to simplicity and doing the simple things, we are not quite there yet."
A native of nearby Newark, New Jersey, Foye was not intimidated by Madison Square Garden.
"It's really like college (playing in New York)," Foye said. "There really isn't anything different. You can't worry about, 'I'm playing the Knicks.' You just got to go out there and play."
Foye was an efficient 6-of-9 from the field, including 5-of-6 on 3-pointers, and Garnett collected 12 points and 15 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who are 5 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot in the West with seven games left.
"We were just trying to move the ball and get easy shots," Foye said. "We came out flat and that's been one of the biggest things that has been our MO for the year."
"The offense they run, (Foye) passes and cuts and runs the baseline," Thomas said. "With KG being such a distraction, he was wide open. He made open shots. It was one of those days."
Nate Robinson scored all 21 of his points in the second half for the Knicks, who went most of the game without star guard Stephon Marbury, who played just 11 minutes in the first half before leaving with a stiff right turf toe.
"I was coming off a pick-and-roll, and my foot got jammed (under) the back of Mike James' foot I think," Marbury said. "I came back in and at halftime. I got the shot in my foot."
Jamal Crawford (ankle), Quentin Richardson (back) and Steve Francis (ankle) continued to be sidelined. But David Lee had six points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes after missing 17 of the last 18 games with a right leg injury.
"We still got the flame I think," Knicks center Eddy Curry said. "At the end of the day we're all competitors, but we realize what's going on. We got guys that are hurt, we got guys that are playing that are not playing at 100 percent, and you add that with the fact we play so many games, and we're not having the lineup that we (projected) at the beginning of the season, it's tough to win that way."
Curry scored 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting.

Laurie Notaro is an author, crafter, and expert at finding a good cocktail. She grew up in Phoenix, but is currently based in Eugene, Oregon. Each week, she'll be joining us to share a crafting adventure, draw a flowchart, or remember a few of her favorite things about Phoenix. Today, she shares her latest conversation with her mother, who's threatening not to speak to her.
"That's it!" my mother snapped from the other end of the phone. "I'm not talking to you anymore. From now on, we are not talking!"
This was hardly the response I expected after giving my mother a compliment. I was stunned. No, I take that back. I was not stunned, but I guess I didn't expect that strong of a reaction.
"Did you hear what I said?" I reiterated, positive--no, I take that back--hopeful that she had heard me wrong when I told my mother that when I got notes back on a project I was writing, the first thing on the agenda was "More of your mother. Love her."

"I heard what you said, and that's why I'm not talking to you anymore," she explained, her voice rising. "If I don't talk to you anymore, then you can't write about me anymore."
"That is ridiculous," I stammered. "Who doesn't want to be everyone's favorite part?"
"ME!" she shot back. "Why don't you write about your in-laws? They're funny."
"Are you kidding?" I asked. "That lineage is off limits! Most of them have guns and I have to eat Christmas dinner with those people!"
"In that case, I'm buying the next gun I see on QVC," my mother informed me. "Even if it's not a Joan Rivers brand."
"See?" I said. "That's why you're everyone's favorite part." "You were their favorite part in the whole thing!," I tried to tell her. "They want more of you!"
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You have a weird brain. Why can't you leave me alone and write about little boys and girls like that other woman with the weird brain?" my mother asked.
I took a stab at it.
"You mean JK Rowling?" I answered. "The richest woman in the world? I do not have the same brain as JK Rowling."
"Well, maybe not the same one, but there's something wrong with both of your brains," my mother continued. "She's a weirdo. I heard there's a lot of sex in her new book. Disgusting. You should try to write a magic book, and one that the mother in it is dead."
"I can't help it if you're funny, Mom," I tried to explain. "That's not my fault. That's God's fault."
"Don't blame God for that!" my mother snapped. "I am not funny. I just don't know why you couldn't have been a nurse or a paralegal."
"You're hilarious," I argued.
"Name one thing that I said was funny," she challenged me.
I cleared my throat and launched into my best Mom voice, complete with a thick, Brooklyn accent. "'So I went for my first iPad class today, and there were ten people in the room. I was smarter than nine of them.'"
My mother waited for me to finish the joke.
"That's not funny!" she finally said. "They were all touching their screens, making them filthy like little animals. Your father bought me a special pencil that I use. Why would you dirty your screen if you could just use a magic pencil? That's not funny. That's using your head!"
I launched into exhibit B, my second impression.
"'So I said to my friend Judy, "Here, this is the stupidest book I've ever read. You'll love it,'" I finished.
Again, my mother paused.
"Oh," she said. "That James Patterson book. You know, he is my favorite author. But that book stunk. It was terrible. And you know what? She loved it! Did I ever tell you Judy has a tattoo?"
"Yes," I confirmed. "Every time you say her name."
"You know, and to think that I was so excited when you were born because I had a baby. When I looked at you, I should have said to myself, 'This is the one. This is the one that's going to kill you,'" my mother said. "Because I would have been right!"
"Well, if you're so unhappy with me, who would you trade me for?" I challenged her. "Any daughter in the world. Who would you trade me for?"
She giggled a little bit. "You know," she said. "You know."
Now it was my turn to pause.
"Linda? You'd trade me for my sister Linda?" I asked.
"Sure," she said.
"No," I corrected her. "No. You're trading me, you're not eliminating me. You have to trade me for someone else. You can't just cancel me out."
"Are you sure?" she asked. "Because eliminating is fine, and I don't know what difference it makes."
"It makes a difference!" I yelled. "You can't trade me for a daughter you already have!"
"Maybe I can have two Lindas," she suggested. "Linda twins."
"Mom, pick one of your friend's daughters. Which one would you rather have instead if me?" I insisted.
"Ooooooh," she said, thinking. "I know! I know! Debbie, my friend Erna's daughter. I'd rather have her."
"Why?" I asked calmly.
"Because she takes Erna out to lunch all the time and bought Erna carpet," my mother explained.
"I thought Erna lived in a studio apartment," I said.
"Yeah. So?" my mother replied.
"That's like buying someone a bath mat," I shot back. "Your house is 5,000 square feet. I'm not buying 5,000 square feet of carpet."
"Maybe that's why I'd rather have Debbie," she said smugly. "And maybe that's why I'm not talking to you anymore."
"Doesn't Judy have a daughter?" I asked.
"Judy with the tattoo?" she answered. "I don't know."
"All right, fine," I replied quickly. "So how do we work this, what's the plan? Do we get a proxy, or a communication surrogate, or is it a complete black out?"
"A blackout," my mother decided.
"Even when I visit?" I asked. "The blackout is in effect when I come home, too? You're just not going to talk to me?"
"Yeah," my mother answered.
"Wow, I had this dream once!" I exclaimed excitedly. "So I say something to you, and you just stay quiet?"
"Yeah," my mother confirmed.
"Can we practice now?" I asked.
"Entitlements," I whispered.
I heard her take a breath.
"Health care for everyone," I said a little louder.
She exhaled.
"Obama!" I said in a full voice.
"That's enough!" she cried.
"I am so wearing my Arizonans For Obama T-shirt when I get off the plane!" I exclaimed in joy, and I couldn't wait to tell my other sister, Lisa. "I bet Lisa's going to start writing about you, too!"
"Whatever," my mother replied. "I'll trade for three Lindas."
"So when does the blackout start?" I asked. "How will I know that you've started not talking to me?"
"I don't know," she said. "I have to think about it."
"All right," I said. "Will you call me when it starts?"
"Sure," my mother agreed.
"Because I don't want to miss it," I added. "I want you to tell me when you've stopped speaking to me."
"Ok, I'll call you," she confirmed. "Maybe Sunday."
"Sunday's good," I agreed. "I'll be here when you call."
"So I'll talk to you then to stop talking?" she asked.
"Yep," I nodded. "I'll talk to you then."

As of May 9, local drivers have been going around in circles to ensure safer roadways, while others have found it difficult to go with the flow of traffic.
After about a year of planning, the painted roundabout at the corner of Argyle Avenue and Spring Street opened two days before schedule, but locals have noticed that not everyone is aware of the new rules of the road.
"It would be useful if people knew how to use a roundabout correctly," said Veronica Carter of Friday Harbor.
Carter, who works at the Little Store next to the roundabout, said she's noticed a few people a day drive through the gas station's parking lot to avoid the traffic circle altogether.
She's had first-hand trouble too. During one trip, Carter said a driver leaving Argyle stopped half-way into the roundabout, forcing Carter to drive over the circle's center to avoid the vehicle. During another instance, she saw a driver enter the roundabout too early, and cut off another vehicle.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, drivers should not stop in the roundabout. Motorists, outside the roundabout, should yield to traffic already inside. When a gap in traffic opens, drivers should enter the circle and use turn signals before exiting.
The roundabout was created, according to Town of Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson, to "make a dangerous intersection a lot safer."
According to Washington State Patrol reports, only one vehicle collision has occurred at the intersection of Spring and Argyle in the last five years. However, Wilson said, the intersection created backup traffic when ferries offloaded and blocked views of pedestrians when turning left on Argyle from Spring.
"There were a lot of close calls there," said Wilson. "Traffic will move a lot smoother."
Town of Friday Harbor staff said they chose to install the smaller, painted roundabout, rather than a standard-sized, permanently raised island, due to the lower cost and space limitations. The completed roundabout includes a painted traffic circle, directional signage, crosswalks and yield signs. Town officials have planned for the roundabout since 2017, and construction was to run from May 7-11, but crews finished two days early.
For local Rebecca E. Moore, the roundabout's constant flow of traffic is a positive change.
"Once we, residents, get used to it," she said, "I think we'll prefer it."

Now that VSHM mentor event is over...
I am at meme? That person says he joined the game two month ago and wants +15 sets already.
I don't want +15 set lol. I already have my +15 vm9, how else do you think am I even getting to run vshm in the first place?
I am at meme? That person says he joined the game two month ago and wants +15 sets already.
You people at this point crying for mats or anything, means you are bad at this game, very very bad at this game.
That makes sense, the dude that can only run VHNM is talking [filtered] to people that are running Harrowhold
Again, how do you know what people that actually run harder content need?

> Well thought maybe but poorly executed. Many people actually chose to queue for vsnm over vshm because you can do 2 or even 3 vsnm in the same time it takes you to finish 1 vshm. Less effort, less stress and better rewards. I observed that in most vsnm parties rookie (real ones and not the alts of skilled players or +15) tanks and healers were quickly kicked out. Rookie dps were 'carried' along for the sake of rewards since 2 +15 dps can more than make up for 1 rookie dps. People did not bother explaining mechs or boss fights to rookies but gave common answer i.e 'watch videos or read guide later'.

Quote on quote the talisman event they 'promised' was double drop and the mentor event, which are events directed at pvers
Not everyone likes pve but I guess eme doesn't know that yet.3

well, I know one thing for sure, I analyze the state of the game, state of the mats, analyze the events that happened, then I judge on the request, I don't demand more stuff when a lot of stuff where distributed in various ways and even easier ways, and right after dungeons event, massively rewarding jackpot event, crab events, Bonanza box from festival event ask for more event. If that makes me a bad player and you people good, then I am proud of being bad at this game, and I intend to stay bad at this.
PS: Running HH doesn't make you a grown up, don't forget that.0
I am at meme? That person says he joined the game two month ago and wants +15 sets already.
I don't want +15 set lol. I already have my +15 vm9, how else do you think am I even getting to run vshm in the first place?
so in 2 months u got that, what is the problem? It could take you 2 months to get Mid gear full set couple of years ago, good days, less crying, less events, more population.2
Shinku89 ✭✭The event had good intentions, but it has been exploited and made the community even more toxic.
Kicking players who are skilled and not their "friends", and because we don't have lots of players queing anyway, you can synq queue with your friends and just kick the 5th player until u get a rookie.
And ofc, not explaining anything to the rookie, just let his [filtered] being carried, while they die endlessly.
This patch is so easy, you get the strongest gear in the game so easily, so many events with huge amount of stuff is given to you literally for free, no wonder the players that take this game a little bit more seriously are frustrated because you can get the strongest gear by just afk'ing at ladders in CS or get your [filtered] carried in fwc.
I want the old times back.. were you actually *have* to play.
...and besides, what's up with everyone complaining about every single thing? Was it like this in the forum all the time? I think it gotten worse...
tbh i dont see why ppl complaining about the loot in vshm. i dont think rmhm dropped etching boxes nor goddess gemstones at anytime. u still get 1-3 talismans per run. and its not hard... may take longer than rmhm cuz bosses have more endurance
OOH etching boxes and goddess gemstones drop in vsh? Must be very commong cuz I haven't seen a single one in my 40+ runs. Why are you even bringing up talismans? You are just like the other clueless people that miss the point completely, we never complained about vm9 mats in vshm to begin with. Even getting the mats is rng btw. There is no guaranteed reward from vshm unlike the treasure boxes that drop in other dungeons. If you have bad rng with rolls (which happens often in my case) you can end up spending 40 min+ in vshm to not get anything in the end.
You are saying its not hard but do you even run it? It doesn't seem hard after many runs but then hh p4 won't seem hard after many runs either. Point here is that its boring and frustrating when you have to run it over and over again and the rewards are crap.not every event should be like the broken crab event where a mystic / gunner just afk with the bot / thrall and get 100k+ fs per day, or a vhnm event where ppl get talismans from it, its like rewarding hankies in lknm back in the days....
You know what? I was against the crab event. I don't know and don't care about vhnm event since I was not here at that time.i personally see this vs event pretty fair. since they added aihm and brhm to the list too. and the rewards were amazing too. 1k fs + 1k noc per clear... it cant be better. its like rewarding that in rmhm in the old patch.
You are again missing the point. Almost everyone I know that farmed the mentor event prioritized vsnm over vshm. I gave the reasons as to why in my earlier post , not gonna repeat them. This event followed the similar theme wherein the content (vsnm) that took far less effort was more rewarding. AIHM and BRHM did not even pop once for me lol.how can u even complain about that?! insaciable btch

Hyspherical ✭✭✭In before someone asking dragons to be drop directly in VSHM haha . Joke aside I think they should put more FS rewards inside or increase more dw mats and design drop rate if we bring a rookie along in party like old time . I remember back in argon queen patch bring along rookie give out very nice drop rate for gears and queen's quill drop so they don't have to resert to this kind of stupid IM event to make ppl willing to bring rookies inside dungeons .
Back in that day the BiS mats were tradeable not as today, so you could sell the mats inside the run.
Every VM has had some tradable and typically 2 or more non-tradable mats, people can still sell stuff inside runs as they did since VM1 but there's just no reason to. I don't understand what you mean.0
Solheim ✭✭✭I agree that they could stand to chill out on the events. After summer festival is over, would be nice to have a month or so of no events. Just let things calm back down a little, let the market get burned down some. Let people who stockpile keys restock, let people who sell feed sell their supply and have it get used, etc.
Another issue that I see is that the default go-to reward for events is: feed, MWA, and SB.
Now, obviously all of these are nice items. The issue is that in order for people to perceive the event as worth doing, massive amounts have to be available -- which makes doing dungeons for feed and such pointless. It doesn't seem like a big deal at first, but it allows players to easily fully enchant their gear, and then they get bored. They stop running dungeons. They stop doing battlegrounds. They nearly stop playing and just wait for the next gear patch.
I'm not going to argue that events are necessarily bad and will always result in killing the patch. The issue is when you have a high concentration of events very close together. Just in the last 30 days, there's been a double drop, strongbox, crabs, mentor event, and summer festival. That's an insane amount of items being added into the game through events all at once.
Just my thoughts on the whole thing.2
I am at meme? That person says he joined the game two month ago and wants +15 sets already.
I don't want +15 set lol. I already have my +15 vm9, how else do you think am I even getting to run vshm in the first place?
im no sure, but palomo answered-response, their own question ...................
how can u even complain about that?! insaciable btc
because him can ?0
Thanks for making our end game goals different from what it was ages ago0
Kreuziger ✭✭Can you guys stay on topic? Lesbian and Anthony if u guys want start a topic with the same title but on off topic section, could be awesome.
Ps: Anthony correct your English a little bit. I know nobody are going to tell you that because they don't care.0
NemisBrawler ✭✭@Palomina u're the guy who is complaining about vshm rewards, not me. rmhm rewards wasnt better than others neither. and if u want free stuffs just go play rally / CU. easy money easy boxes. and u said u have full vm9 +15 already. and u're complaining about vsh loot, smh. [removed forum violation]. if u think vsnm gives better rewards then just go play vsnm, easier, faster, and more rewards for u, so u can stop complaining about it on forum
and u say u didnt see any etching box in ur 40+ runs? then i'd say u have very good luck cuz i saw it many time already. and it drops in mid tier dgs too. and i assume u didnt see any design neither, nor got any talismans, to be complaining here on forum and ur vm9 must be gifted by others including the mats needed to enchant it. if its that then i understand u1
Hyspherical ✭✭✭You can make gold doing IoD, the problem is IoD is not fun. Why play an MMO when you need to play solo to fund your gearing? VSH is needed for VM mats and for people going for title. So people don't mind running it because they need to for VM and it isn't boring. Everyone asks for easier money, but if there was an easier way to make money that wasn't boring as hell... everyone would be doing it - making it not as profitable as originally envisioned. Ok, so should they give more gold as rewards? Well it'll just make gold have more inflation since we still lack good gold sinks. Alright so maybe gold isn't a great idea. How about mats like alkahest/spellbind/feedstock? Well those are pretty worthless already with all the events. So you won't really feel like it's rewarding.
Remember TAR? Where people made crazy amounts of gold and credits for mwa from vanguards? Everyone was doing it because it was easy, you could do it with friends so it wasn't boring, and it was accessible since you didn't need gear or experience. Massive inflation. Similar situation with Mongos. Don't repeat these mistakes... I know they were trying to help players +15 their gear but the problem is the mats needed to reach +12 and the mats needed to +15 are such a large disparity that +12 is dirt cheap compared to +15.
What we're really missing is challenging group content that is profitable. A reason to have gear and skill. Apparently HH20 drop table isn't very good. If this holds up, nobody will be wanting to do HH20 at all pretty soon. Especially since it takes effort to complete the whole way through. There is no reason to progress your skill for PVE other than for competitive play. And it doesn't have to just be profitable as far as gold. There are other ways to make dungeons worth doing.
Things such as Smart Dyads are sought after but there's no way to get them outside of Strongbox events. Maybe add some to HH20 p3-4 drop tables. Maybe an untradable etching box that drops for everyone in HH20 p3-4. Or maybe some T12 Spellbind. NOCTENIUM please? It doesn't have to be tradable mats (in fact, untradable stuff is probably best) but there has to be a reward that is worth going through the trouble to get.1
Can you guys stay on topic? Lesbian and Anthony if u guys want start a topic with the same title but on off topic section, could be awesome.

On Sunday the second annual Boomtown Ball and Festival was held in downtown New Albany.
It may seem a little insane, but we promise it's worth it. We're bringing you the live music you shouldn't miss for every night of the week in Louisville.
Cross the bridge and join Louisville's river city neighbor for an all-day concert event, flea market, and food vendors in downtown New Albany.
Though the audience at Headliners this Thanksgiving Eve did not make The Features feel quite as welcome as they were, the band still put on an amazing show.
This Thanksgiving Eve, The Features roar back into Louisville

I thought it would be timely to recap Bekah's birth today on her first birthday – I am still in denial…my baby cannot be one!!! Don't tell me have another one in the oven because that doesn't help…this is my baby girl we are talking about.
Compared to
birth (which you can read about here),
Bekah's birth was a dream. First off, I had JAG with me the entire time. Let me
tell you ladies I've done it both ways (married and unmarried) and I prefer
married with my husband there coaching me on – not that my mom did a terrible
job with Shelby's
birth – you get it, right?
While I was driving into work this morning I had to laugh. I remembered how before I became pregnant with Bekah I said I would have my next child naturally at home. HA! Then once I was pregnant I said I would not induce the labor with this one. I would be patient and wait. Double HA!
After begging and a bit of arguing with Dr. Sak (yeap the same dr that delivered
ten years earlier) he agreed to induce me at 39 weeks. I was trying to be
induced at like 36 weeks…I think I started put a bug in his ear at like 32 weeks.
I was so over being huge and pregnant during the heat of September.
So, it was set on the calendar – October 4th Induction Day!
My mom and dad came into town and JAG's mom was here for a conference, so it was perfect timing. I barely slept the night before, but got up super early and headed to the hospital. I was relieved that this time was for real, we would check in and get this over with. I had a walk of shame a few weeks earlier that left me so embarrassed (if you've ever thought you were in labor, but weren't and had to walk out for the hospital still pregnant, you get it). Still JAG left my bag in the car just incase they changed their mind and wanted to send us home.
Check-in was easy and before I knew it I was snug in bed with an IV. I was relieved that I went the just pitocin route this time since I was already dilated 3 cms. The route I took with
Shelby was horrible – the worst! Pitocin
works quickly before you knew it those contractions were coming and so was Dr.
Sak to break my water. I have to say I am so glad I was the only in the room at
that time – JAG would have passed flat out. I don't remember it being so dang
painful. I am sure the person in the next room could hear me scream. Dr. Sak
kept saying "just calm down." My response, "Well just get away from me!" Proud
mom moment there. After he left I told the nurse "he isn't allowed to touch me
again until I have drugs."
I also made sure the nurses new that Dr. Sak had a tendency to over book (like they didn't know) and I wanted to make sure he was on the floor when things were ready to go. I refused to be in the middle of pushing just to have a nurse say "honey you'll have to stop a minute Dr. Sak is finishing up with someone else." The nurse assured me I was his only patient for the day – sigh of relief.
The day passed with text messages and facebook posts. My mom came, JAG's mom was there and of course JAG. JAG quickly learned to not touch me and not talk too much, but don't play games on his phone. He did good and barely got in trouble.
I would say by Noon things were really rocking and rolling. The nurse offered an epidural and I jumped on it – I am just not cut out for natural child birth. After the epidural things really progressed, but they realized that Dr. Sak had not actually broke my water after all, so he had to come do it again. URGH!
Thank goodness there was a Texas Rangers playoff game on TV and this made time fly. I told JAG's mom I wanted her to stay in the room. This was my second birth and I was over modesty. After awhile I wasn't in pain, but had pressure. Dr. Sak breezed in, took a peak and said "she's ready to go." It wasn't even 3 pm. I had a moment of "wait, I'm not ready. I thought this would take 18 hours like the last time!"
If you've had a child you know that the next few minutes are a blur of machines and transformer style beds then stirrups, pushing and a baby cry. That was it for me. It was an easy maybe four push birth and she was here! I bawled! I am about to start now. There she was! And she was perfect! Just between you and me I just knew I would have karma because of saying un-nice things about other babies that my baby wouldn't be cute at all. I was wrong – she was so perfect perfect perfect.
When I was pregnant I wrote that I didn't know how I would love another child as much as
but it's true your heart grows. I was blessed that day! As soon as she was born
I said "that was so easy…I could do that again."
The night after she was born I couldn't sleep, I just sat there and stared at her. I was so anxious the entire pregnancy for nothing – she was perfect, she still is.

The Difference between Overdraft and Cash Credit is very subtle and relates to the operation of the account.
Cash Credit, a proper limit is sanctioned which normally is a certain percentage of the value of the commodities/debts pledged by the account holder with the Bank.
It is a short-term loan to the account holder (company/individual).
On the other hand;
Overdraft; is allowed against a host of other securities including financial instruments like shares, units of mutual funds, surrender value of LIC policy and debentures, etc.
An overdraft is an extension of credit from a lending institution when an account reaches zero.
Overdraft means; bank allows you to withdraw money using your account up to a certain limit; even when the balance has reached 0(Zero).
Now the differences between these two are discussed below;
|Points of Difference
|Cash Credit
|A loan made to a customer with a current account at a bank or building society, in which the account is allowed to go into debt usually up to a specified limit.
|Cash credit is an arrangement by which the customer; is allowed to borrow money up to a certain limit.
|OD is always provided for a short-term or period.
|Though it is a short-term loan, sometimes it is provided for mid-term periods.
|Process for Withdrawals
|The borrower is permitted to draw and repay any number of times provided the total amount overdrawn does not exceed the agreed amount
|The loan amount can be withdrawn by the borrower at once or when required.
|Nature of Withdrawals
|Overdraft is withdrawn only when the borrower needs more money than the amount available in his/her account.
|The borrower need not draw the sanctioned amount at once but draw the sum when required.
|This is granted against securities.
|Cash credit is provided against the pledge or the hypothecation of goods.
|Bank Account
|Overdraft is allowed for or provided to the current account holders of the bank.
|A new bank account is created for sanctioning cash credit.
|Loan Amount
|The amount for OD is limited to an agreed extent for the current account holders.
|Cash credit is granted to a borrower to a certain'-limit based on the security and need of the customer.
|The borrower is permitted to repay any number of times.
|The loan may be repaid in installments or at the expiry of a certain period.

There is no doubt about it, a reliable hosting provider can make the difference between your online business succeeding or not, it really is that important, so knowing what the signs of a good quality hosting provider are will make a massive difference and should not be under estimated.
The first thing to do is to check the amount of down time the hosting company has had on average, if these figures are not displayed on the website simply ask them. The reasons for this are obvious, if your blogs and websites are not on display, for whatever reason, you will be losing money and I can assure you, some hosting companies can be down for days on end and whatever excuse they give you, it is not acceptable.
So now you have found a hosting company who are reliable in this way, the next thing to do is to check out the customer support. Even the most experienced internet marketers will run into trouble every now and again, it could be that a simple mistake has occurred when uploading a new page to a website or it could be something that is serious, whatever the problem though, the last thing that you want is to wait until the next day for an answer, the problem needs solving now so that you can get on with making money.
That is still not enough though, some hosting providers offer customer service around the clock but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, present them with a problem and you might as well be talking to your Granny because they don't know what to do. The best hosting providers out there will have support staff in place that are so good it is like having another employee working for you. They will do their utmost in order to help you so that you can rest assured that if a problem does occur it will soon be resolved to your satisfaction.
To be honest, I am often amazed by how cheap it is to use the services of a top quality hosting provider, often less than $10 per month for a quality service which can take your business to the next level so before you go any further with your online business, take the time to make sure that you choose your hosting provider carefully, it could be one of the best things that you do for your online business.
