Make your own luck by creating this quick and simple charm for St. Patrick's Day. You won't need to kiss any Blarney stones or search for leprechauns when you wear this miniature pot of gold under a rainbow. It can be made in about half an hour and is so cute you may find yourself making one to keep and a few to give as gifts.
Materials Needed
- Miniature terra-cotta pots, 1 1/2 inch tall
- Gold acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- 3/4-inch rainbow ribbon
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Green craft moss
- Golden disc beads (11 to 13 mm work well)
- Pin backs
Paint the Pot of Gold
Begin by painting your miniature terra-cotta pot with the gold acrylic paint. Paint the entire outer surface and upper inner lip. Let the paint dry completely. If there is any uneven paint, paint a second coat once the first one dries.
Cut the Rainbow Ribbon
While the gold paint dries, cut a length of rainbow ribbon between 2 and 3 inches long.
Create a Rainbow Arch
Plug in your hot glue gun. When it is ready, squirt two beads of hot glue on opposite sides of the inside rim of the pot. Press your rainbow ribbon into the hot glue so that it creates an arch above the pot. Allow glue to dry.
Make a Mossy Bed
Add another good squirt of hot glue inside the mini pot and secure a bit of craft moss inside the pot.
Add Gold "Coins"
Cut the golden disc beads off of their strand, and use small beads of hot glue to secure them into the center of the moss.
Make the Good Luck Charm Wearable
Apply a thin strip of hot glue to the back, outer lip of the pot and press the pin back into it. Let the glue dry, and your little pot of gold will be ready to wear.
Share a Little Luck
This miniature good luck charm is quick to make and so cute to wear. It will ward off any pinches and will surely result in lots of compliments on St. Patrick's Day.

President's Message
Message from the President - February 2019
The new Club on January 8 played host to one of the biggest press conferences ever held at the FCCJ, when Carlos Ghosn's lawyers came to speak. The event attracted all of Japan's main networks, many of whom covered it live, and more than 350 people attended.Nike Air Huarache
Demand was such that we had to close the lunch service early as people spilled over into the main bar. The thought that went through my mind while seated at the speakers' table was the line from the movie Jaws: "We need a bigger boat."Why did the lawyers for Ghosn, Japan's most well-known foreign businessman, choose the FCCJ for their first press conference? One reason is the Club's reputation built over 74 years by the efforts of early members. Another reason is the work of the Professional Activities Committee. In this I must single out PAC co-chair Teddy Jimbo who worked tirelessly to make this happen and was MC for the event.As of writing, Ghosn remains in detention on allegations of financial misconduct at Nissan, the carmaker he once led. PAC members will remain focused on keeping the FCCJ a central venue for this unfolding story.In other Club news, I announced earlier that Silvano Borroni's catering group was the new food and beverage provider for the FCCJ. Silvano and his team started operations in early January, bringing in an executive chef and pastry chef.At the FCCJ Board meeting on January 21, General Manager Marcus Fishenden reported that F&B feedback from members was generally positive, although some had raised concerns about pricing.
Best regards,Peter Langan,

The Crush the LSAT award for best LSAT review course of 2020 was awarded to LSATMax! This course has earned the #1 ranking for of all the following reasons:
- Analytic feedback that calculates your overall performance to pinpoint areas that require more study time
- Guarantee of a higher score or you get your money back
- #1 ranked and most downloaded Mobile App with online access and tablet-LSAT mode
- Whiteboard Lessons for those that want a classroom learning environment
- 9,000+ practice questions and 90 full-length LSATs from previous years
- Private tutoring and weekly office hours
The medallion signifies that LSATMax has gone above and beyond to create a course that will help you score high on the LSAT with a score you are proud of! With all that LSATMax has to offer, it's no wonder it earned the #1 spot.
How do you rate LSATMax Review?
LSATMax is a great course for those who want a modern approach to the often outdated LSAT. With great mobile applications and higher score guarantees, what's not to love about this LSAT review course. Analytic feedback offers a new dimension for students who need to know exactly where they stand with regard to the test.
There's a lot of value built into this course and it's relatively affordable compared to whats on the market for LSAT review courses. The Whiteboard Lessons are a great tool for those who are used to classroom learning, and it's a great piece to a larger puzzle that is the LSATMax prep tool.
1. Mobile App with Online Access
The LSATMax app is free to download in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Amazon App Store, and it comes with a ton of free content. You can watch whiteboard video lessons, do daily drills, or complete Logic Games from the comfort of your dorm room, a coffee shop, or even the beach. You'll want to download content to your device in advance so you can watch lectures and complete practice questions when you don't have internet access and so you don't burn through your data.
One of the coolest new features LSATMax added to their Apple and Android mobile apps is the ability to practice the brand-new digital LSAT. Additionally, they offer 90 full LSATs from previous years for you to practice with on your smart device of choice.
You can also access all the course materials via LSATMax Online. There's a free trial available but we recommend getting the LSATMax's lifetime course. You'll receive hardcopy binders of all the course materials like lessons, homework assignments, diagnostic exams, and additional Prep Tests.
2. Price
Compared to some of its competitors, LSATMax's courses are pretty affordable; there's a nice range of packages to fit any budget. The app is free, with limited content, and you can customize your course based on how much practice you need. Lifetime access courses range from over $700 to just under $1,300, depending on the specific package you choose.
Are you worried about fitting this LSAT review course into your budget? If so, here's some good news:
LSATMax also offers zero-percent financing.Essentially, this allows you to get immediate access to any lifetime course and split the purchase into a budget friendly payment plan over 3, 6, 12, or 18 months. Additionally, LSATMax offers a LSAC Fee Waiver Scholarship for students who qualify.
3. Analytic Feedback
The app calculates your overall performance in each section to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. This allows students to customize their study plan and concentrate on problem areas. Practice questions can also be filtered by type so you can focus on those areas that need the most practice.
4. Higher Score Guarantee
Another great differentiator is the guarantee of a higher score. LSATMax offers a refund if you do not improve your LSAT score after completing the LSATMax course. Given the limited amount of time you can take the LSAT within a two year period, this makes spending your money on LSATMax much easier.
Ideal User
The flexibility of their course and affordable price make it ideal for students who want the content of a full prep course without having to attend on-site lectures and study sessions. Those who are diligent enough to work through the lessons, large number of homework questions, and previous LSAT's and can pace themselves according to the customizable calendar will benefit most.
As the only course to offer instant and lifetime access, LSATMax is also great for students who are aiming for a score of 170 or higher. This way you can get started with the LSAT prep earlier and have access to the materials for as long as you need.
Summary of Course Features
- Free app with tons of complimentary resources; students can upgrade for even more helpful study materials
- Whiteboard video lessons covering every question type/concept that appears on the LSAT and video explanations for individual LSAT questions
- 90 full-length actual LSATs from previous years – both in hardcopy and digital format in app
- Recommended study calendar to keep you on track
- Real-time analytics built into app to track progress and identify sections that require further study
- Daily drills and flashcards to instill key LSAT concepts
- Instructor support by phone, email and in-app message boards
- Dedicated in-app message board for each individual LSAT question
- All content can be downloaded to device (limited to one phone and one tablet per person) as well as accessed online from any web browser
- Access video lessons online or use Apple TV/Chromecast to watch them on your TV
- Hardcopy materials with all lessons, homework assignments, diagnostic exams and Prep Tests
- Countdown clock to day of the exam

Mushrooms bloom
A fungus invasion begins in Sebastopol
When Malcolm Clark mentions Baby Blue Oyster, Trumpet Royale, and Cinnamon Cap, you might think he's extolling his favorite racehorses. But the curious names that roll so quickly off his tongue refer to the fresh mushrooms his company, Gourmet Mushrooms Inc., grows in two climate-controlled facilities in Sebastopol.
For 30 years, Clark has been relentlessly tracking cultivatable fungus around the globe. He supplies certified organic fresh mushrooms to gourmet markets as well as such standout chefs as Roland Passot of La Folie and Thomas Keller of the French Laundry.
Clark's interest in unusual mushrooms was fed by a friendship with renowned mycologist Tsuneto Yoshii, whom he met in Japan. With the help of business partner David Law, Clark built his mushroom farm in Sebastopol.
"Everybody seemed to test-market their products in California because Californians were so liberal and willing to try anything once," Clark laughs. "That's not quite true," he admits, but it also "looked like a great place to live." And San Francisco made an especially appealing market for those first fresh shiitake mushrooms. Adapting a Japanese process to grow the mushrooms in a sawdust mix instead of wood not only assures purity but speeds up the growth cycle. Over time Clark has refined his technique to the point where he can grow the mushrooms anywhere. But with a devoted following, why would he ever want to leave?
Taste test: Gourmet Mushrooms Inc. mushrooms are available at Whole Foods Markets www.wholefoods.com and Trader Joe's www.traderjoes.com. To order a gift basket (from $46), contact GMI www.mycopia.com or 707/823-1743.

Corning, the makers of the famous Gorilla Glass that covers most major smartphones, has announced their latest product – 'Project Phire', their attempt to make a form of Gorilla Glass that has a scratch resistance "approaching sapphire". Corning Glass president James Clappin revealed the new product during an investors meeting, declaring the robustness of the company's new product.
"We told you last year that sapphire was great for scratch performance but didn't fare well when dropped," Clappin, president of Corning Glass Technologies, told the crowd at the event. "So, we created a product that offers the same superior damage resistance and drop performance of Gorilla Glass 4 with scratch resistance that approaches sapphire."
It's no surprise that they've come up with this. A year ago, amid rumours that Apple was almost definitely including sapphire screens with its next iPhones, Corning will have no doubt been scrambling to do something to maintain its stronghold on the global smartphone market.
Luckily for Corning, Apple's sapphire supplier, GT Advanced, failed to produce sapphire good enough for Apple's specifications. Despite that, while many saw Apple's potential use of sapphire as the death knell of Gorilla Glass, it seems that Corning may have saved themselves even if Apple had managed to use the material on the iPhone by developing this new product.

The One With Coasters
This post should illustrate a big difference between men and women. In general, women are much more sentimental. This is why moms save every art project their children have ever done. Even the drawing from preschool. Sure, she'll say it's supposed to be a horse. But we all know it looks like what came out of the horse a few hours after it ate. Women like all the warm-and-fuzzy, let's-keep-all-the-keepsakes, walk-down-memory-lane stuff. Not that I find this invaluable by any means. Women are just better at it. What are men better at? Well, in general, random stupidity. Or, if you prefer, stupid randomness.
Case in point: coasters.
Stay with me on this.
My wife Heather bought us some photo coasters. In layman's terms, these are coasters that you can put photos into. Man, I'm great at clearing up ambiguity. There were four coasters in the pack. She let me take two of them. One of hers has a picture of us and all of our friends from work at our wedding. It's quite nice, and a great picture considering how many people were in it. Her other one has a picture of the two of us from our wedding. Very nice and sentimental.
Now for mine. I didn't need pictures. All I needed was Microsoft Word and a printer. That's right. To me, photo coasters are really random quote coasters. Not quite as catchy of a name. Anyway, in no particular order, here are my coasters:
It looks like we meet again, Cup.
I am Coaster, guardian of Table.
See, there's that random stupidity thing we talked about. What's so great about this difference? Nothing really. Just that if you are able to roll with your differences, no matter how small, things can work out really well. Your coasters can hang out on the same table, doing the same job. And when I'm too old think of random stupid quotes because I can't even remember my own name, she will be able to look at her coasters and say, "Aw, do you remember how wonderful that day was?"
Of course, I'll respond with, "What? Who are you? Where are my Depends?"
Well, looks like I still got it.

The Philosophy of Mind G.W.F. Hegel also known as The Phenomenology of Mind is hard to read and understand. Some philosophers have tried to summarize Hegel's book and explain his ideas, but they were often longer than the original, and nearly as difficult to read. The book outlines the evolution of consciousness and how it goes through stages. This is similar to the Buddhist theory of the levels of spiritual attainment, from lower forms of consciousness to higher forms. Download the free PDF e-book here:

Equestrian club teams at SRU advance two riders to nationals
April 16, 2018
The English-style and Western-style equestrian club teams at Slippery Rock University recently qualified individual riders for national championships after successful showings in each team's most recent competition.
Jess Dietrich, a junior recreational therapy major from Eastlake, Ohio, qualified for the English-style Intercollegiate Horse Show Association finals, May 3-6, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, by winning the Advance Walk Trot Canter competition at the IHSA Zone 2 finals in Leonia, New Jersey. The English-style club team placed third out of 14 teams in Region 5 and qualified four riders for the Zone 2 championships.
Aubrey Braham, a junior mathematics major from Grove City, who previously qualified for nationals as the Zone 2, Region 5 high point rider, also became the Western-style Reserve Champion in Open Reining at the IHSA Western Semifinals last month, where the Western-style club team placed sixth out of 27 squads for the highest finish in its history.

South likes: Disobedience Archive at SALT, Istanbul
South likes: Disobedience Archive at SALT, Istanbul
Disobedience Archive (The Park)
SALT Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey
22 April – 15 June, 2014
Since 2005 Disobedience Archive has existed as an ongoing, itinerant archive and platform of discussion that travelled trough several institutions including MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology, USA; Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, Italy; and Bildmuseet, Umeå, Sweden. The exhibition, curated by Marco Scotini and Andris Brinkmanis, features the installation design specifically made for SALT Beyoğlu by Herkes İçin Mimarlık. In this occasion the Disobedience Archive will showcase internationally sourced materials spanning from the 1970s Parco Lambro uprising in Italy to the recent protest movement originated in Gezi Park in 2013. The archive is in fact a collection or "atlas" that investigates strategies of resistance, presented "as a network of open topics, brought together by artists, activists, film producers, philosophers and political groups". Cataloguing a manifold range of civil actions, Disobedience Archive deals with the relationships between political discourse and artistic practice. The one where art and politics overlap is indeed an area where civil participation to politics can test the boundaries of a fixed shape or form, being flexible in a constant state of becoming. With this exhibition at SALT, the Disobedience Archive lands in a particularly hot context, as for almost one year Istanbul has been the centre of a protest that involved Turkish citizens in a intense political struggle. The research on movements of resistance from the 1970s to today is therefore an essential contribution that highlight connections, analogies, and dialogues between the turkish uprisings and a more extensive network of global turmoil.

text: Otokichi 9 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I stumbled across this weekly series on World War I by accident, and have found it fascinating. Even though modern audiences know what happened, the behind-the-scenes look at people, places and things allows one to see why what happened then affects the here and now. The usual suspects are present, from Adolf Hitler to Winston Churchill, French generals Foch and Petain; German planners and Austro-Hungarian bunglers, T.E.

The National Museum of the American Indian invites entries to the design competition for the National Native American Veterans Memorial—the first to recognize the exceptional military service of Native Americans. These servicemen and women are some of the most honored members of their tribes and communities. Across the nation, Native Americans who protect our country and our way of life are recognized publicly as the greatest patriots of all.
Despite this enduring and distinguished legacy spanning two and a half centuries of American history, no national memorial yet exists—Native veterans and those serving today remain unrecognized by any landmark.
With your participation, however, this will soon change.

Few days back I reviewed MiniTool Power Data Recovery Boot Disk and then came to know that Minitool offers FREEware boot disk to perform loads of operations with disk partitions. Normally during OS installation one gets a few options to create, merge, delete partitions but once the OS is installed, you need to use in-built tools like Windows Disk Management to do some operations on the partitions. There are numerous freeware and paid tools available too with increased functionality. Minitool offers both installer and boot disk version of partition wizard.
Why MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable CD is better that the installer version
Managing partitions is a serious task and if you become a little careless, severe data loss can happen. When you are running the software within the OS, several other processes can interfere with the software operation and making those operations unsuccessful.
Moreover, with this bootable disk you can manage partitions irrespective of the installed operating system.

After all these educational posts, here's a more personal post about what being a hairstylist means to me, and how I came up with the idea to do it.
As a kid, I was always into art. I loved drawing portraits, painting, sculpting, … I believe that resulted in the style I have today. I was always a tomboy and never liked barbie dolls or make up, but drawing, and making my own fantasy world, this I loved.
From age 14, I fell in love with 80s heavy metal and punk bands. I wanted to wear my hair just like them, but unfortunately, none of the hairdressers in the neighbourhood knew about the style and they didn't succeed in getting me what I wanted.
I gathered all my courage and asked my friend at the time to cut my hair into an 80s mullet. Ever since that moment, I trimmed the ends and took care of my very own dream mullet.
Then, the styling journey began. I have extremely thin hair, so I tried everything to get some volume in it. I loved going crazy with extensions, hairsprays, gels, anything I could get my hands on. I also experimented with hairdyes and bleach. I loved going crazy on my own hair, but never touched anyone else's hair before.
When i was 18, I joined an 80s-style hardrock band as a keyboard player. Every time I performed live with the band, I got better in doing my own hair. Unfortunately, I never became a good musician!
I also met my boyfriend at that time and we were (and still are) so much in love that I wanted to have children. Of course, I was just 18, and he said that I was still too young. He wanted me to enjoy my youth before settling down and becoming a full time mother.
Yet, the desire for children filled my heart and the fact that it wasn't time for that yet made me very depressed. A friend suggested I'd find something else to put my passion in, instead of being sad about my situation. I looked for something where I could put my heart and soul in.
In a very stupid coincidence, I was bingewatching all seasons of America's Next Top model. I think I must've been around 20 years old at the time. I watched the behind the scenes footage of every shoot and fell in love with the hairstyles. Working with models, making art together with other artists, traveling the world, working with fashion designers, … It looked like a dream to me.
I thought about it a lot, of course, but every piece of the puzzle fell into place. I felt extremely happy when I did my own hair and I felt beautiful when I had my full 80s lion's mane. So how incredible would it be if I could make other people feel beautiful and create art at the same time?
I immediately looked up hairstyling schools in my area, and found one not so far from my home. It was only half a day per week, and in one year I would have my diploma. Since I worked part time, it was the perfect opportunity. I still remember how amazing it felt when I registered. I realised I was about to embark on a journey that I wouldn't regret. It felt as if I got my owl with my Hogwarts letter when I got the confirmation that i would start my education in september 2012.
I had a blast at hairstyling school. My classmates were all super nice girls and we always had lunch together in the cafetaria or indulged in a lovely McDonalds meal. I learned a lot, especially from my second teacher Nadine. She taught us about historical hairstyles, and that is where my love for Rococo hair started. At the time, I worked as a waitress in a cupcake café, and I would sometimes come to work with crazy hairstyles with flowers in them because I just came from class. (Luckily, my boss didn't mind at all. )
When I got my diploma, I wanted to dive into the world of fashion shoots right away. I got my first shoot thanks to Bibi Makeup Queen, a Make Up Artist who discovered me on Facebook. I remember I first focused a lot on 80s hairstyles, but I soon fell in love with Avant Garde and hyper feminine hair. It was a nice contrast for me, because I always felt very boyish and did "manly" things – I listened to heavy metal and punk, wore men's clothes, went out drinking and was very loud, and never showed any interest in things like make up, fashion magazines or anything like that. I got into the world of high fashion and it was like Disney World to me.
I don't think I will ever lose my punk edge, though. It makes me who I am and also creates that Je-m'en-foutisme that makes my work stand out, in my opinion. I always want to be different than what everyone else is doing, and I hope that shines through in my work.
In the following years, I focused a lot on doing everything I possibly could. I accepted every shoot, every dance show or movie, every friend that asked me to do their hair for a party. And because I wanted to learn, I did everything for free.
When I met Melanie Plum from Au Contraire Photography, my life as a hairstylist changed. She showed me what I had been aiming for all these years: pure art and extremely good photos. I realised I had set the bar way too low for myself before, and from that moment on (I think that was the end of 2016), I got much pickier when it came to collaborations. That made my portfolio a hundred times better then it was before.
The more I worked as a hairstylist, the more I realised i wanted to do this as a full time job. I had found my passion. Every minute of the day I thought about the next shoot I would do, looked up ideas for hairstyles or practised on my mannequin head. I asked around if there was a chance I could do this officially.
After a lot of research I decided I wanted to become an enterpreneur and become a hairstylist officially. To achieve that, I had to get my business management diploma. Since I didn't finish middle school and never had a diploma before, this intimidated me a lot. I did get my hairstyling diploma, but that was a walk in the park for me because it was all practical. Business management was pure theory, formulas, and a lot of mathemathics, a subject I was horrible at when I was still in school.
But, thanks to hard work and after a lot of breakdowns and #ragequits, I took the exam. I would've been satisfied if I just got half of the points, but I got a whopping 61%, which was a huge achievement for me. I registered my company "Julia Lion Hair", officially, got an accountant, and now I have been an official hairstylist for 5 months already.
I am so grateful for the incredible journey I've been through and can't wait to see what's next in store for me. I have learned that anything is possible through perseverence and hard work.
I hope this article was interesting to read. I would absolutely love to hear your stories! Feel free to write your own post (on your blog, website or even Facebook page) about how you became what you are now.

Going Fat Free – Liposuction in 360
Posted July 30, 2018 in
Who among us hasn't stood naked in front of the mirror wondering how and when the "junk" took up residence in the "trunk" and dreaming of a way to unload it? Sure we diet and exercise, but some fat deposits-like the little jelly roll above the waistband of our low-rise jeans-just won't budge. Tush and tummy troubles like these are examples of when liposuction is just what the doctor ordered-literally. Cosmetic surgeons stress that liposuction is not a replacement for diet and exercise, but that it is an effective way to eliminate stubborn fat pockets that defy calorie control and cardio.
Now that we're clear on what liposuction isn't (a magic wand/weight loss miracle) let's move on to what it is. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can be used to remove defiant fat deposits from a single body part or-in the hands of the right surgeon-it can be used to sculpt an entire (healthy weight) body into a tighter, more chiseled version of itself.

WGS 84 Coordinate Validation and Improvement
for the NGA and Air Force GPS Tracking Stations
James Cunningham, Virgina L. Curtis
Warfare Analysis and Systems Department
Abstract: Using 10 days of Global Positioning System (GPS) pseudorange and carrier phase data collected in 1995 from 31 stations and 24 Block II/IA satellites, estimates of GPS clocks, orbits, and tracking station coordinates were generated. The 31 sites consisted of the 12 National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NGA) and Air Force operational stations, an additional NGA site at Holloman Air Force Base, and 18 International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) Rogue receiver sites. Ten of the NGA and Air Force operational sites had their coordinates previously determined using GPS data. The results of this work suggest that the estimated 10 cm, one sigma, per component accuracy indicated for these 10 stations was conservative. The new World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) coordinates generated for the 12 NGA and Air Force operational stations are reported at the 1994.0 and 1997.0 epochs. The estimated accuracy of the new coordinates is better than 5 cm, one sigma, per component.
Orbits estimated using the new WGS 84 coordinates agree better with the IGS final combined orbits, derived in the International Earth Rotation Service Terrestrial Reference Frame 1994, than orbits estimated using the old coordinates. The overall rms orbit-URE of the new orbits is estimated to be 12 cm, an improvement of 2 cm rms over the old orbits. Systematic differences with respect to the IGS orbits have been significantly reduced.

Blog Post
Another Look At Guardians Of The Galaxy
Jan 17th, 2017
The only thing that matters more to us more than a great story is publishing an accurate analysis of a great story. Here at Narrative First we would rather be told we were wrong than continue to provide a false and potentially misguided account of the narrative structure behind a work.
Our analysis of Guardians of the Galaxy always remained troublesome.
Gamora's Throughline peters out and dies leaving little explanation why Quill actually changed his point-of-view...To further weaken the film's structure, the Relationship Throughline between Quill and Gamora occupies but one scene over the span of 122 minutes--hardly the stuff of a well-developed thoroughly realized narrative.
The film was a huge and massive success and to suggest that perhaps there was something broken or deficient about the structure proved difficult to back up. We took umbrage with the apparent lack of a consistent and impactful Influence Character Throughline and felt the lack of a true Relationship Story Throughline--but that didn't seem to bother the rest of the world. Our dual ratings of Structure and Entertainment furthered the confusion for those who felt the film functioned appropriately on all levels.
Enter novelist Sebastien de Castell, writer of the popular Traitor's Blade series and his counter-argument for why Guardians of the Galaxy proved so successful:
The main structural criticism you cite with the film is the weak IC and RS throughlines because the only relationship that seems to be going on between Peter and another character is with Gamora—a sort of unfulfilled romance that is, at best, weak sauce. I agree completely. However when I ask myself what relationship in at the heart of the story, it's the relationship of the team - not something between two individuals. Each of three characters—Gamora, Drax, and Rocket—represent the IC and are trying to force Peter to stop trying to make them into a team.
Despite how Peter starts the story—pretending to be a lone wolf out for himself, he's actually desperate to have a family again because he's never gotten over the death of his mother. That's why the moment he connects with the other characters (in the prison complex), he immediately tries to get them to work as a team—first to save Gamora, then to escape the prison itself.
Throughout the movie, Gamora ("You're too self-centered to care about others, Peter"), Rocket ("Everyone's out for themselves"), and Drax ("I don't care about anything except avenging my dead family") handoff the role of IC as they push back against Peter's steadfast desire to believe they can be a team together and do something good for the galaxy. Sometimes they do it with statements, sometimes with actions (Rocket and Drax getting into a drunken fight.)
The one person who starts to have faith in Peter's position is Groot. When Groot sacrifices himself to save the others as the ship is crashing, he's presaging the climactic moment during which all four throughlines converge: Peter grabs the gem out of the air, knowing it means death for him, but Gamora, Drax and Rocket complete the IC throughline when they change to Peter's way of thinking. All three take Peter's hand—that's the act that signals both their acceptance of his approach and the coming together of the team.
By doing so, they complete the RS, because there's no question anymore that this is a team. Finally, in that same instant, the OS is completed (stone is destroyed, preventing Ronan from destroying Xandar) and Peter's MC story completes because he's finally got his new family (we even see him thinking back to his mom before she died.)
So my argument is that if we accept the 'team' itself as the IC, the whole structure actually does fit perfectly into the Dramatica storyform model and explains why the film isn't just fun fluff but actually feels genuinely satisfying to the audience.
Besides finding an opportunity to use "presaging" in a sentence, Sebastien nails the thematic undertones of the film.
It will take another viewing of the film to nail down the exact storyform, but right off the bat it would seem that Peter's Avoidance is really a function of his Main Character Focus rather than an actual Problem. This would signify an Objective Story Problem and Influence Character Problem(or collective Influence Character Problems) of Oppose and a corresponding Solution of Support--both story points that support Sebastien's wonderful explanation above.
Attitude would take over as the Objective Story Issue which sounds five-thousand times better, especially in a comedy action/adventure like Guardians.
As always, if you read something here you don't quite agree with or see differently please feel free to contact us. The right storyform is infinitely more important than our storyform...

Non Traditional Engagement Rings:
Unusual, Unique Engagement RingsCredit: http://media19.onsugar.com/files/2011/04/13/5/192/1922564/7452cc9dc7db8f8f_rings.larger/i/Photos-15-Ultra-Special-Nontraditional-Engagement-Rings.jpg
If you're out there looking around for engagement rings, you've no doubt noticed that there is a traditional 'look' that you'll find in most jewelry stores. White gold abounds, and solitaires rule the day. This is just the current trend, of course, and every decade had a different 'look' that was extremely popular. Are you wanting something different? Non traditional engagement rings are difficult to find, and you'll probably have quite a search on your hands to find them.
This article is all about non traditional engagement rings, and it will talk about the various options available to make your ring choice totally unique. We'll talk about non traditional engagement ring settings, jewelry and stone choice, and you'll see what can be found out there. In this day and age the sky is the limit with custom jewelry, but this article will hopefully guide your process a little bit.
Let's begin and look at a few examples of non traditional engagement rings!
Non Traditional Engagement Rings:
Gold and SettingCredit: http://www.mazaldiamond.com/blog-en/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/1813group.jpg
If you're searching for ways to find or create non traditional engagement rings, you probably should decide what it is about 'conventional' rings that you don't like, and determine what you want to change. One major option for alteration is the choice of metal or the setting of the ring. Metal is extremely pliable, and in the hands of a skilled jewelry maker almost anything can be done, especially with the advent of CNC technology.
Non traditional engagement rings often have different types of metal in the bands and the setting. White gold is almost universally accepted these days, but you can switch back to yellow gold for a more classic look, or opt for rose gold for a really interesting alternative. Rose gold looks like a combination of gold and bronze, and it really catches the light.
Your non traditional engagement rings can also contain other metals entirely. Platinum is very expensive, but it's a great and beautiful choice for unique engagement rings. Silver is another choice, and a less expensive one. Silver does tarnish, so you'll need to polish it periodically (it tarnishes less depending on the purity of silver). You might also consider stainless steel, bronze or any other unique looking metal of your choice.
Your non traditional engagement rings can have special settings as well. There are just about as many ways to hold a diamond or stone in place as there are stars in the sky, so pick one you like and search for that variety. Pressure settings are unique and don't require any claws or clasps, as they hold the stone in place by pressing on both sides. Antique or filigree engagment ring settings are quite popular and can be replicated.
Non Traditional Engagement Rings:
Choice of StoneCredit: http://www.jewelsforme.com/images2011/small/W/10/2028R.jpg
Another way to create non traditional engagement rings is to be creative in your choice of stones, either the centerpiece rock or the accent stones surrounding it. Unique engagement rings very often eschew the use of diamonds in favor of more interesting choices. And why not? We live on a planet covered in thousands of unique and amazing gemstones, why not pick something more interesting (and less expensive) than the simple diamond?
Colored stone engagement rings are getting more common, and they were thrust into the center stage with the engagement of Kate Middleton to Prince William. That large blue sapphire showed the world that it was okay to choose colored stone engagement rings, and it was a very good thing.
Colored stone engagment rings allow the purchaser to customize their choice based on the recipient. You can consider using their birthstone, or you can choose a color that has deep meaning to the both of you.
Traditional gemstones are very popular, with rubies, sapphires and emeralds being very popular choices in non traditional engagement rings. However there are many other choices that are even more unique than this. Consider using polished semi-precious stones like agate and opal: the effect can be extremely stunning and very classy.
Non Traditional Engagement Rings:
Other Choices
When it comes to non traditional engagement rings, the sky is the limit. If you want something truly unique you're going to have to spend some time searching, but you'll probably be rewarded with something really special.
If your taste in non traditional engagement rings leans even further towards the bizarre, you might want to check out my other article on the top 10 unconventional engagement rings.
Good Luck!

Treatable with long term therapy and support. Goal is often to integrate personality structures.
Slide 13: Not Anxiety Disorders: But Maladaptive Behavior, for sure Malingering: intentional production of false or very exaggerated symptoms motivated by secondary gains. Factitious Disorder (Munchausen's): intentional production of physical symptoms through tampering with the body. Nurse: gather evidence and document. Confront only as a team, and not prematurely.

SculpSure™ Palm Beach Gardens
SculpSure: A Game Changer in 2016
"Dr. Mandal, I believe I am a perfect candidate for your SculpSure. I work out every day, I am slim but have pockets of pesky fat above my waistline, little love handles as well. CoolSculpt did not do the job and left loose skin where it worked slightly. I need you – sooner the better!"
SculpSure – Frequently Asked Questions
What is SculpSure? SculpSure is a diode laser with a 1060 wavelength that selectively heats fat and destroys it, resulting in permanent reduction of stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, back, arms and legs. This 25 minute procedure is completely non-invasive and destroys up to 24%1 of treated fat cells without surgery, anesthesia or downtime. Patient satisfaction is over 90 percent. SculpSure is FDA approved for fat reduction.
How does SculpSure differ from CoolSculpt? The two are completely different devices. CoolSculpt freezes the fat by placing tissue into a suction device but takes up to 1.5 hours per treatment area and can only do one treatment area at a time, meaning a full 4 area abdomen would take 6 hours to complete. There is also bruising and swelling with CoolSculpt as well as a risk of "shelving" with uneven fat loss and no tightening of loose skin after fat removal. In marked distinction, SculpSure selectively heats fat but leaves surrounding muscles, nerves or organs alone; it's a 25 minute with up to four treatment areas at a time, without bruising or swelling or the uneven fat loss seen with CoolSculpt. SculpSure also tightens loose skin.
Are needles or surgical incisions involved? Sculpture is a completely non-invasive treatment.
Who is a candidate for SculpSure? SculpSure is most suitable for people who already have a healthy diet and exercise routine but are still bothered by with by resistance areas of fatty tissue on the body. SculpSure is not for obese patients.
How many treatments are needed? Results can be seen with just one treatment. Up to 2 to 2.5 inches, and in some cases, 3 inches have been seen. Some patients have more than one treatment for additional fat reduction.
Is the treatment painful? No, most patients feel a tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment which is generally well-tolerated.
What about the loose skin that remains after fat reduction? In addition to reducing unwanted areas of fat on the body, SculpSure also tightens the overlying loose skin.
How long does it take to see the results? Many patients notice improvements as soon as 6 weeks after treatment with final results seen at 12 weeks.
How long do the results last? Does the fat come back? Treated fat cells are permanently destroyed during the treatment and will not regenerate.
When can I resume my usual activities? SculpSure is a no downtime procedure allowing you have treatment over your lunch hour and return to work immediately after treatment. Even bruising and swelling is uncommon.

Playboy pinup Holly Madison - who dishes the dirt on Hugh Hefner in a new book - is being blasted by another former playmate over her account.
Read: Holly Madison: My Life Inside Playboy Mansion Was a 'Living Hell'
Izabella St. James, who spent two years living in the Playboy mansion with Holly, has told INSIDE EDITION that she doesn't recognize the grim picture Holly paints in her best-selling book, Down the Rabbit Hole.
"Holly is so cunning and so manipulative. I think she has chosen to portray herself as a victim and vilify key players along the way," Izabella said.
Holly has made claims in her book that there was "not a whole lot" going on in Hef's bedroom. She also claims she endured years of emotional abuse.
But Izabella calls Holly's book "vengeful."
Holly had a single-minded determination to be Hef's favorite, according to Izabella.
Read: Playboy Centerfolds - Then & Now
"She emulated Hef, she dressed like him, she studied his likes and past girlfriends that he particularly liked, their looks, the dresses they wore that he particularly liked, she would have the same ones made for herself," she said. "Anything to endear herself to him."
It's not the first time Holly has taken heat over her book. She's also been trading insults with Kendra Wilkinson, her former co-star in the Playboy reality TV show, The Girls Next Door.
'The one thing she truly wanted was a piece of that stock, a piece of Playboy and a piece of Hef's will,' Kendra told People in an interview earlier this month.
'She considers herself a failure because she did whatever it took to get that and she didn't get what she wanted in return.'
But Holly is getting good news too -- Down the Rabbit Hole is number one on the New York Times non-fiction list.

Kolkata: Observing that urgent reforms in the UN was essential, experts on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aggressive foreign policy can play a key role towards realizing India's quest for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
Sitaram Sharma, the chairman of West Bengal Federation of United Nations Associations (WEBFUNA), alongside German Consul General Olaf Iversen and other eminent people, participated in a symposium on "United Nations needs to be reformed".
There can be no alternative to the UN, the world cannot be imagined without it. It's the UN, which ensures even the smallest of nations have a voice. But at the same time, the need for reforming the UN, especially expanding the Security Council is imminent.
"Reform is something that is always resisted, particularly, by those in power. Obviously, expanding the UNSC is a very complicated issue involving many a delicate matters, particularly the veto power," he said.
At the same time, new powers, including India are emerging and of the permanent five, France and the UK are no more powerful. So a change is inevitable.
"Modi's aggressive foreign policy and the active persuasion of the UNSC permanent seat issue will certainly make India realize its dream," added Sharma.
Former foreign secretary Krishnan Srinivasan too lauded Modi's foreign policy.
Undoubtedly, Modi's aggressive foreign policy has raised India's image internationally and to that extent, it can help India in her quest for the permanent seat in the UNSC,
Batting for reforms in the UN, Srinivasan said an expansion of the Security Council by introducing new permanent members was essential to energize the organization which has failed in some respect to keep up with the contemporary world.
Advocating Germany's inclusion in the UNSC permanent membership, Iversen said the issue 'diluting the veto power' has been the major roadblock in the expansion in the 'permanent five'.

Every time a truce is declared, preparations for fiercer fighting are made. Calls for peace are loud, but the deeds of the warring sides are devoted to sparking further conflict.
On October 16, the US and UK called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Yemen. And on October 17, the UN special to Yemen, Ould Cheikh Ahmed, announced that the ceasefire would come into effect "at 23:59 Yemen time on 19 October 2016, for an initial period of 72 hours, subject to renewal".
Though the parties to the conflict apparently welcomed the truce, they covertly mobilised their forces, preparing for more incursions and expansion. Accordingly, violations occurred, and accusations of breaching were traded.
Yemen's conflict is nearing the end of its nineteenth month. Throughout this tough time, six ceasefires have been declared, but these temporary peace efforts have backfired repeatedly.
This illustrates one fact: The warring sides are still adamant they will continue the fight, and this is for a variety of reasons.
Weapons are abundant
Yemen is a country awash with weapons. Prior to the breakout of the war, civilians had accumulated their own guns just like any other legal property. When the war flared up last year, the use of these weapons began. Additionally, some militants seized state weapons in 2014 and 2015, creating an uncontrollable anarchic situation.
In such a scene of mayhem, a ceasefire is normally doomed to failure.
Weapons from abroad also continue to find their way to Yemen. Saudi Arabia is openly arming the pro-government Yemeni forces, recruiting more fighters to engage in the war against the Houthi militants and allied forces. This has taken place as the world looks on, and international super powers are supporting the Saudi military move in Yemen.
Iran, in the meantime, has been a source of a military support for the Houthis. On October 19, Reuters news agency reported an increase in the Iranian arms transfer to the Houthi militants in Yemen. According to the report, Tehran has augmented its supplies of weapons including missiles and small arms intended for their allies in Yemen, the Houthis.
Obviously, weapons continue to flood into Yemen, leading to pools of Yemeni blood and piles of corpses in conflict-stricken areas. This brutishness delays the prospects of peace or even a genuine truce.
Quenching the thirst for revenge
According to UN reports, 10,000 have been killed in Yemen since last year. Out of anger and frustration, the men left alive show no reluctance in taking revenge for their departed beloved ones. They rush to the frontlines, full of thirst for retaliation. This sentiment creates an endless cycle of bloodshed and instills stronger rationale in their minds to opt for war.
The warring sides have lost senior military commanders in the fighting. These commanders have followers who are either soldiers or volunteer fighters. They will follow suit and fight to the very last. Combatants from both sides have an unequivocal objective: Triumph or death. It is safe to say therefore, that the war has enough fuel to keep the flames burning for some time.
|This state of food crisis pushes thousands of men to the precipice of war
The role of poverty
Yemen's economy has been severely crippled by the conflict. Many of its businesses have shuttered, and many people have lost their job. Today, the labour force has one field in which work is guaranteed: on the battleground.
Funds allocated to the war are available in abundance. Instead of dying of hunger, these men die on mountains, hills, plains, valleys or on their armored vehicles with full stomachs and pockets. Poverty in Yemen is chronic, and it has grown to alarming levels over the 19-month long conflict.
According to the UN World Food Programme , almost 14.4 million people in Yemen are food insecure, of whom seven million people in desperate need of food assistance. The agency points out that one in five people are "severely food insecure" and in urgent need of food assistance.
This state of food crisis pushes thousands of men to the precipice of war. While financial gain is not everyone's motive, a considerable number have joined the combat for financial gains that can help them and their families survive in the face of lethal poverty.
The rise of sectarianism
Sectarianism is the ideal weapon for causing nations to disintegrate and fracturing the fabric of the societies. The sectarian divide has surfaced in Yemen under the influence of regional powers. This is no longer an exaggeration or sedition.
|Sectarianism is the ideal weapon for causing nations to disintegrate and fracturing the fabric of the societies
Last year, Saudi Arabia stepped in militarily to stop the Iran-allied militants from seizing all of Yemen. The move was not to defend the Yemeni legitimate government only, but to protect itself against Iran's ambitious expansion in the Middle East.
After the fall of Yemen's capital, Sanaa, to the Houthi militants in September, 2014, Iranian officials said Iran now rules four Arab capitals: Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut and Sanaa.
This regional sectarian tension contributes to inflaming and prolonging Yemen's conflict. If any truce is to hold in Yemen, it is not only a ceasefire for Yemen's combatants; it is also a truce for Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Europe is the perfect place to go for solo travelers. In fact, spending time alone in iconic European capital cities like Berlin, Reykjavik and Paris can be even more enjoyable than traveling in a group. Think about it: You can go wherever you want on your own time doing only the things that interest you. You can spend all day exploring the Van Gogh Museum or the Uffizi Gallery; or, even better, you can skip out on the huge touristy museums and do your own thing. Solo travel in Europe is fantastic and something everyone should do at least once in her life.
Best European Cities to Visit
If you think Paris is for couples only, think again. Have a romance with yourself in the City of Light, where it's far more magical to have the freedom to explore on your own than to be tied down. Stay in the Marais district and roam around the area's cobblestone streets. Go for a jog in the Luxembourg Gardens. Soak up the bustling nightlife of Canal Saint-Martin. And explore the Centre Pompidou or Musee d'Orsay at your own pace.
In addition, Berlin is a fabulous place to be single. The city's hip, modern vibes and exciting arts scene were pretty much made to be enjoyed by the solo traveler. Plan on bunking in a hostel dorm room to save money; then, rent a bike, snack on currywurst and soak up the single life while you explore Germany's coolest city.
Finally, Reykjavik is a lovely place to visit on your own. Iceland is one of the safest countries in the world, so safety isn't as much of a concern here as it may be in other cities. Sign up for a free city walking tour and revel in the sights and sounds of this charming, peaceful place. And if you have the time, make sure to get outside Iceland's capital as well; the countryside is every bit as breathtaking as you've heard.
Tips for Single Travelers
If the prospect of traveling solo in Europe is slightly intimidating, don't worry; this is a normal fear to have, and it will likely dissipate as soon as you arrive abroad. To help quell your nerves and meet people during your travels, stay in hostels or small B&B's where the owners typically take the time to chat with you. If you speak the language in the place you're visiting, strike up a conversation with people on the train or bus. And if you don't like the idea of dining alone, don't do it. From cafes to parks to delis, there are plenty of other options for eating out in Europe.

La Dame Blanche
Worked holding only one yarn at a time, this shawl is Mosaic Lace which is a fusion of slip stitch color-work and lace techniques. There is no yarn management of a carried yarn (except up the side), only knitting stripes and slipping stitches.
Worked in the amazing natural yarn from The Ross Farm this shawl evokes the rustic elegance of the Outlander series. Specifically the name is a reference to the pseudonym the protagonist receives during the French portion of the story.
The shawl is cast on at a tip and worked in ever increasing rows to a long bind-off trim. One could easily expand the size by adding repeats (and yarn). The stitches include basic lace increases and decreases as well as strategically placed double decreases.
Instructions are provided in both chart form and fully written out.
Due to the nature of the naturally colored wools sheep specific colors are often unavailable or discontinued. This piece can be knit in any combination of colors that have high contrast with one another.
This pattern is available on KnitCompanion.

Magic Johnson says underrepresentation of minorities in tech is disappointing
Magic Johnson has a simple piece of advice for today's tech giants: "Care about your people."
Johnson, the all-star basketball player turned entrepreneur and philanthropist, has been watching closely as Silicon Valley stumbles its way toward improving diversity and inclusion.
In an interview this week with Mashable over e-mail, Johnson said he feels the current "underrepresentation" of minorities in tech is"disappointing" and just plain bad business.
"Diversity helps companies be better caretakers of their employees, and in turn, their customers," Johnson explains to Mashable. "Have an employee base that reflects your customer base. At the end of the day, it's these employees that make or break a business."
More than that, he argues the diversity of staff affects how well tech companies can serve a more diverse audience, in the U.S. and abroad. "You can't make products or services for a global audience if your company doesn't represent that audience," he says."I think more can be done."
Now he's putting his money behind that cause.
On Wednesday, Johnson's organization, Magic Johnson Enterprises, joined a group of prominent backers who invested $3.5 million in Jopwell, a startup building a platform to connect businesses like Facebook, Square and Box with black, Hispanic and Native American job candidates.
A spokesperson for Jopwell declined to disclose the size of Johnson's investment in particular.
"Leaders in tech and beyond need to understand that workplace diversity is a real commitment. It's more than just a CEO statement on a website. You have to work at it. It doesn't just happen overnight," Johnson says. "Companies need to be deliberate and persistent in their efforts to ensure their employee base is diverse. I also think you need technology, like Jopwell's, to turn goals into real change."
Many of the biggest names in Silicon Valley began disclosing their less-than-impressive diversity numbers for the first time two years ago and talking up the need to improve. Despite plenty of rhetoric, symbolic hires of diversity chiefs and unconscious bias training, the biggest tech companies remain overwhelmingly white and male.
As those companies were first ramping up those efforts in 2014, Johnson spoke out urging them to "give me a call."
"I've been doing this for over 35 years. I've done this for other big corporations as well: Best Buy, Aetna, on and on. I know how to do it," he told USA Today in 2014. "They just need to give me a call. If they're looking for talent, give me a call. If they are looking for companies to partner with, give me a call."
Since then, Johnson has cemented his footprint in the tech industry by joining the board of directors at Square, the payments service founded and run by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and investing in startups like Jopwell and Walker & Company, which develops shaving products specifically for the hair of black men and women.
"We're in a time in which there's a critical mass of tech companies that are at the intersection of profits and positive social impact. I like working with companies that can really innovate the way we do things and make them better," Johnson says when asked to explain his newfound fascination with the tech industry.
"I like companies that bring quality goods, services, opportunities and resources to historically underserved communities. Those things have always been a part of my investment strategy," he continued. "It just so happens that many of the companies doing those things now happen to be within the tech sector."

Mets radio broadcaster Howie Rose has a new book out, Put it in the Book: A Half Century of Mets Mania, written with Phil Pepe. Rose talked to us recently about what it's like to call games on the radio, and the Mets in particular.
Favorite call ever?
Whenever I'm asked this question, I always seem to eliminate TV calls. There you're punctuating, narrating. Radio, it's an enjoyable responsibility. You're not just describing the act, but setting the scene, with the weather, and the fans.
It's gonna be hard for me to ever feel better about a call than I feel about the call after Johan Santana's no-hitter. (Listen to the call here.) I'll be honest: I've been following this team for 50 years, with a vested professional interest for the last half of that, and I never believed it'd happen. I didn't believe it until the ball was in Josh Thole's glove. "Put it in the books" is my signature call, after every win. I wasn't planning anything. And then it just came out: "Put it in the books—the history books." That's been well received.
How have you improved as a broadcaster? When did you feel confident that you knew how to do it?
I've never felt that way, not even now. You can never have the luxury of feeling you're all the way there. You have to strive to do better, and maybe stumble on a new conservation of words here or there. That happens rarely now, but it happened a number of times over the course of my development years. Sometimes it's just something like staying with the times, keeping up with pop culture. Now, not everyone has to do that: Vin Scully is the greatest broadcaster who ever lived, and he can stay trapped in the 1950s. It's perfect. But the rest of us, we have to attend to what's going on outside of baseball.
So what do you think of John Sterling?
I've known John for 40 years, and I don't have anything bad to say about him. Everybody's got their style. The Yankees keep bringing him back, so someone out there must like his work. I wouldn't be so comfortable approaching baseball in that parochial a way, but that's just me. In Chicago, Hawk Harrelson gets away with being an unmitigated homer. Someone out there must like him too. So god bless him, and god bless Sterling. More power to them.
Who's the best on TV?
I've always loved Tim McCarver's work. I don't think I would ever have become any good as a broadcaster without him. More than that, he's the most important broadcaster in the history of the game. No one before him had ever worked in such harmony with a director (Bill Webb, of SNY and Fox) to explain what happens in a game. And he did it all in a smart and humorous way. He's one of the great, great broadcasters in the history of the medium, and it's really too bad that he's retiring.
As for play-by-play and working with analysts and directors, it'd be hard to find anyone more technically adept than Gary Cohen (of SNY). His preparation, his work ethic—there's no one else that works that hard.
You do play-by-play on television and on radio. What's different?
Everything's different. Radio, it's a much more capacious medium, artistically. And you're on your own. You'll have a producer in the booth who might feed you something now and then, but it's not much. Television, it's all about collaboration. The veteran play-by-play guys on TV are point guards. They set their guys up, after they take cues from their directors. TV's an analyst's medium now.
TV is the higher-paying, and higher-profile gig, but for the broadcasters of my generation, everyone wanted to do radio first. It's you, the microphone, and all the listeners. So long as you speak honestly, and never condescend—I strive to talk as though I'm talking with someone in the upper deck—you form a real bond.
Are you worried about having to call a lackluster Mets season?
No, never. The last two years have been very disappointing ones for the Mets. But we've seen some pretty amazing things we didn't think we'd be seeing: a batting champion, a Cy Young Award winner, and a no-hitter. So who knows what's next?
Interview has been condensed and edited.

I ran into an interesting issue today where we had a client migrating to us that needed us to allocated X IPs to each VPS on a node he had with us. X ranged from 1 IP to up to 12 per VE so I wrote a script that took three input files (one with available IPs [newips], one with VEIDs [veids], and one with the number of IPs each VEID was allocated [numips]) and doled out the IPs as needed. Here is the result:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
#!/bin/bash let r=1 let k=1 for i in `cat veids` do numips=$(sed -n "$k"p numips) for (( c=1; c<=$numips; c++ )) do ip=$(sed -n "$r"p newips) echo "Add $ip to $i" vzctl set $i --ipadd $ip --save let r=r+1 done let k=k+1 done
Hopefully this will help any others who run into a similar issue.
Have a great day!
