Kaplan prepares for life after softball
Institute, WV - West Virginia State outfielder Sydney Kaplan closed out her career at WVSU with an outstanding final season. She led the team in batting average, home runs and RBIs in 2016.
"Honestly it's been momentous. Discipline wise it's taught me a whole bunch. Teach ability, accountability, discipline but it's really made me impactful in everything and it's help my character a lot." Kaplan said.
Kaplan played at Cabell Midland during her high school days. She carried what she learned from her days in Ona over to Institute.
"Honestly my high school it's bred me really well. I went to a big high school. I had really good coaches there and it's kind of transferred here." Kaplan Said.
Kaplan is an aspiring lawyer and took on a big workload in addition to being a student athlete.
"Lots of sleep deprivation, lots of long hours because I work full time too. I sleep maybe 3 hours a night and I'm here twice a day, so it's just time management that's the key." Kaplan Said.
Kaplan is now on deck for something else. She will be going to law school and believes that playing softball has helped prepare her for it.
"It's actually a huge resume booster that's one of the first things they looked at on my application because it is discipline, it's time management. So a lot of hard work which is what law school is going to be like." Kaplan said.
Kaplan will always be appreciative of her WVSU teammates.
"We'll definitely stay in contact. We were actually just talking about having 15 year reunions because we are really close. I'll definitely will stay in touch." Kaplan said.
She will begin law school this coming June.

I got this great story and video after reading Fast Company (such a great magazine about innovation. I even downloaded the app for my ipod touch). Originally posted by the Suzan Labarre (du Savon?).
San Francisco designer Kim Pimmel combined soap bubbles with dye and some creepy music and got this time-lapse video. It is horrific. I am glad Ï do not have a bath in my apartment. Watching The Living Dead is scary enough. I do not need to have some magnetic monster attach me.
The bubbles make little tubes of film filled with water. The iron fills those tubes through capillary action (think plants sucking water through its roots). The bubbles in the video are accentuated by the dye running through with the water showing the minimal surface of the soap film, with equal pressure on inside as outside the bubbles. Bubbles and foaming are just recently discovered although people have been playing with bubbles for 400 years. Understanding the physicochemical properties of the surfactants using high throughput devices and foam testers is something that big home care companies are interested.
Do not be mistaken the bubbles are not dyed but rather the water is which is apparent at the end. The dye does not attach to the soap though but rather just moves with the water through the narrow tubes to give the awesome affect. Pimmel shot the sequence with a Nikon D90 and a Nikkor 60mm macro lens.

Should Tendulkar stay or go? The tough call may be the kindest
Conventions are always changing to fit the times. Amateur batsmen used (mostly) to walk. Professionals now wait for the umpire to decide. But the old arrangement was a kind of deal, the batsman saying to the umpire: "I'll help you out by walking if I nick it, but in return you've got to trust me if I say didn't." The new arrangement, properly understood, is also a trade-off: "I'm not walking, so you have to make the call, but in return I'll respect the decision you make".
The transition, obviously, is from an amateur world based on personal trust to a professional set-up based on everyone being allowed to do the job they're paid to do. Few people in professional sport challenge that direction of traffic - from subjectivity to objectivity, from trust to professionalism, from winks and nudges to accountability and transparency.
Except when it comes to the retirements of senior players. In this area, modern sport goes all weak and wobbly, prone to fits of extravagant sentimentality. We hear the usual phrases over and over: "He'll know when the time is right… he's got to be able to make the decision himself when he's ready… after so many years of service, it's only fair he gets to choose… his home town would be a fitting finale…"
Really? Since when did the player know better than the selector who is selecting him? Since when is a batsman or bowler the best judge the trajectory of his own ability? It sounds like a highly amateurish set-up for such professional times. And why should a team organise its selection to provide "closure" for one player in the form of a ticker-tape send-off in his home town? By that logic, it is time to send home all the statistical analysts who try to provide coaches with what gamblers call "the edge" in selection. If the modern way is just to ask the star players what suits them best, sports teams could save themselves a fortune by abolishing support staff.
I offer no view on whether Sachin Tendulkar should play on in Test cricket. I'm not in a position to assess his hunger or his private demeanour. But I do challenge what seems to be the general view, that the decision should be his and his alone. If they aren't there to pick the team, why bother having selectors? Delegating selection to the dressing room seems a retrograde step, to say the least. Expecting great players to deselect themselves is as irrational as expecting modern players to give themselves out lbw.
I acknowledge entirely that the Tendulkar question is a very difficult decision for any selection panel. First, players of that quality do not follow conventional logic. The greatest players have a different kind of self-belief. In their own minds there is always a way to win, another chapter to write. Roger Federer has been urged to retire for years. But this season, aged 31, he spent another spell as world No. 1 and added a 17th grand slam title. There is honour in carrying on playing at a high level when you are no longer the dominant force in the sport.
Secondly, Tendulkar is, well, Tendulkar. The numbers - 51 Test hundreds, 49 ODI hundreds, 34,000 international runs - are the least of it. Tendulkar will always add up to more than the sum of his aggregates. They do not capture his style and majesty with the bat, nor his dignity and aura. I've heard many people talk about watching Don Bradman, and spoken to a few who played on the same pitch. With luck, one day I will try to describe to future generations what it is like living in the age of Tendulkar.
There are so many highlights, it's hard to know where to begin. I will mention just two special moments, taken from almost the start and almost the finish of his career - bookends, if you like.
First, think back to Tendulkar's reaction after scoring his maiden Test hundred, at Old Trafford in England in 1990. The 17-year-old prodigy brought up his century with a trademark straight drive for four off Angus Fraser. A normal 17-year-old would have jumped around ecstatically: "Look at me, I've done it, I'm only 17!" Tendulkar did nothing of the kind. He raised his bat quietly to thank the crowd, before looking down bashfully at the ground. There was, in his muted body language, a hint of a man accepting his lot in life. There was acceptance as well as happiness. He knew he was special. But special lives are rarely easy. He knew he was blessed with a rare talent, but that gift came with deep responsibilities. Greatness always exacts a price. For all the intrusions into his private life, for all the pressure heaped on him, Tendulkar has always tried to do justice to his gifts, to honour his responsibilities. It cannot have been easy.
That is why my second Tendulkar memory does not, for once, feature a great innings by the little master. When India won the World Cup final in Mumbai in 2011, Indian players queued up to thank Tendulkar - even though he had failed with the bat. "He's carried the hopes of our nation for more than two decades," Virat Kohli explained as he held Tendulkar aloft, "now it's time we carried him on our shoulders."
It was a perceptive remark, on many levels. As boy and man, Tendulkar has made India feel proud. His achievements far transcend the sports field. Tendulkar's career coincides almost exactly with the Indian economic revolution that began in 1991 with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's liberalisation reforms. Tendulkar has embodied the aspirations and achievements of a resurgent India.
India, the nation as well as the cricket team, certainly owes Tendulkar a great debt of thanks. But it will not serve its hero by refusing to make a pragmatic decision. The moment should never arrive when Tendulkar takes the field for India without being one of the best 11 players. It would be beneath him.
Sometimes the hard decision is actually the kindest.

♥ Little Miss Sunshine is about a dysfunctional family who tried to get their little daughter to get into the finals of a beauty pageant through a cross – country trip in their VW bus.
Social media is no where to be found. No phone (because the family is broke, they want to save money during the trip), no television, no internet
♥ The Social Network is about the life and the path that Mark Zuckerberg took to create Facebook.
Social media is everywhere. Especially internet and the power of programming.
♥ So, how does the two films have something in common? In fact, the common lies in the vast different between the two lives that the characters in the movies experience.
In the movies, conversations are everywhere. But, the difference is there are no deep conversations in Little Miss Sunshine, no serious talkings, no business deals, but everyone seemed so happy. In The Social Network, I can feel the constant loneliness that Mark is experience. He controls how conversations go, open a way for easier connection, yet the mind is so lonely. Who can forget the ending scene when he finally wins over the law suit, and still feel empty inside by repetitively checking his Facebook profile?
♥ What I learn in here is that we should use social media as a tool – A better way or solution for business to connect with customers, or a way that we can voice our concern/ feedback to a product.
In Little Miss Sunshine, the horror behind the show about children beauty pageant is never revealed in public, because there is no social media tool. Children were forced to loose weight, wear high heels, act like adults in order to participate. They are the lost generation. Childhood shall be preserved and treasure. There are no point to force them to grow up so quick for the sole purpose of entertaining the guests (in this case, the adults).
Will this incident be stopped if there are the presence of social media? Or social media is being used as a tool to promote this trend?

Light Inheritors
Myrrh the Defiant (c. Y474 – Y523) was a human woman, princess of of the Du'un Empire, and one of the Nine Crusaders who overthrew her brother, Emperor Sheol XIV. The failed coup she initiated in Thariz in Y490 is widely considered to be the beginning of the Holy War, a civil war that culminated in the destruction of the Du'un Empire. After the Miracle of Dawn, Myrrh wielded the Archangel's Sceptre, a holy staff of immense arcane power. In addition to her bravery, she was known also for her vanity, and she used the Sceptre's power to retain her youthful appearance for many decades. Following her death, some true believers worship her as a goddess of beauty, death, rebirth, and storms. Of all the crusaders, she was closest to Freya, her friend, mentor, and commander in battle, and Woten, her godfather and loyal bodyguard.
Myrrh was born eight years after her brother in the imperial capital. When she was fifteen years old, she witnessed the imperial Ceremony of Ascension, where her father, Sheol XIII, bequeathed the Black Book to her brother, and with it, the divine right to rule. Ancient imperial law dictated that the emperor and empress may conceive only one male child, and all other children were to be killed to preserve the purity of the Du'un line. Her parents broke this edict in secret by bearing Myrrh after their firstborn son, and kept her confined to the palace for fear that word of their forbidden daughter would spread. The empress assigned Woten, Myrrh's godfather, to be her ever-present guardian and retainer. Myrrh was content to live in the lap of luxury, practicing swordplay and magic in the comfort of the imperial palace.
Her idyllic days were cut short when her brother took the imperial crown in Y489. Whatever power the Black Book possessed, she said it changed him. The dutiful, yet loving young man she knew to be her brother was gone, replaced by a suspicious and malevolent despot. The morning after he was crowned emperor, both his parents were found dead in their beds of cardiac arrest. He came to take his sister's life the next night, but her protective magic and Woten's knowledge of palace's secret tunnels allowed them to escape. Over the next year, they organized a rebellion in the city's catacombs. Their attempt on Sheol XIV's life in Y490 failed, but Myrrh, Woten, and twenty of her number were able to escape the capital. When they arrived in the Scythian mountains, they numbered only six.
Baldur and Myrrh first met in Y495, well after the Liberation Army had begun to set up a free government in Scythia. Myrrh lived a sheltered life, even during wartime, thanks to Freya and Woten's constant protection. She was twenty-one and Baldur was but fifteen, and neither of them had seen a more beautiful person before in their lives. The two were deeply in love, or they at least thought they were. Less than a month had passed before a troubled Freya sent Myrrh, pregnant and confused, to live in the care of the sisters for the next nine months. After the birth of her daughter, Myrrh decided to let the sisters raise her daughter while the war raged across Norn and returned to the front lines. Baldur and Myrrh remained in love for some months after, but they grew apart during the war. They rekindled a friendship after the Remnant War, but Baldur married another, and Myrrh never married again. The cursed bloodline of the Du'un Empire still lives on through her descendants, but these descendants are faced with a choice. They can succumb to the power that corrupted the emperors of old, or follow the path of justice that Myrrh and Baldur blazed so many centuries ago.
For Myrrh, the Holy War was not a war of vengeance. She knew that every soldier she killed with her magic was one of her countrymen. It was worse at the old Kurtulmak fortress of Mersin; the force that cornered the Liberation Army there were deployed directly from Thariz. It was there that her spells began to tear through the bodies of men she had seen patrolling the streets a thousand times before. But no matter the pain she faced, Myrrh still held hope that her brother might be saved from the dark power that dominated their bloodline. When the Liberation Army breached the walls of Thariz, though, she knew her hopes were for naught; her brother was too far gone to be saved, even by her magic, even by her love.
After the war, she spent much time with her constant companion, Freya, the first queen of Hildsvine, and later, of Grandévere. Unlike the rest of the crusaders, Myrrh had no desire to rule. She stayed indoors, spending her time away from Freya alone, weaving spells and digging through the magical tomes that were constantly delivered to Hildsvine, recovered from Du'un libraries and hidden repositories. After Baldur's death in Y522, she retreated to an old castle outside of Hildsvine for thirteen months. Within the first three months, she would sometimes meet with Freya, but she soon denied all visitors. There are no records of her actions during this period, but when she returned to Hildsvine, Freya wrote that her eyes shone with renewed purpose. She set out for the mountains in the far north of Norn, packing only her legendary sceptre and enough supplies to get her as far as Aurvandil. After a brief stop in Aurvandil's capital and a meeting with the giantess Skadi, Myrrh was never heard from again. Nine months after she departed Hildsvine, however, the volcanic Mt. Muspelheim erupted, coating the entire northern mountains in a thick layer of choking ash. It is believed that Myrrh was killed in Muspelheim's eruption.

She Still Talks to her Ex
Visitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
My girlfriend still sees her ex-boyfriend. She says that they are just friends. She told me that he openly admitted to her that he is trying to get her back, and he doesn't care if she has a boyfriend or not. She says to me that she won't go back to him but still wants to be friends. I am not comfortable with her seeing him as long as he is not ready to be her friend.
How do I tell her to stop seeing him till he is ready to be her friend. Without sounding unreasonable.
What I really want her to tell him is "I'm sorry, but I can't see you until you are ready to be my friend." She will probably agree that it needs to be done but I think she has a courage problem doing that. How do I help her? I realize that it is going to pressure her a little. But I really feel that it needs to be done. Am I being unreasonable or am I asking for too much? If its a reasonable request, is there a gentle way to do it?
RomanceClass.com Advice
One of the most important things in any relationship is to accept each other the way we are and to not pressure each other to change. If you start trying to get your girlfriend to change the way she deals with her friends because it would make you happy, that's a sure way to having her view you as a "controlling parent" in her life. A relationship should be about two people who respect each other, never about a person pressuring another person into doing something he or she is hesitant about. If you can do it about friends, can you do it about sex? About commitment? About all those other things that are important in life?
Look at this as a minor speed bump in your relationship. Believe me, MUCH more serious things come up in relationships that people have to face. This is almost a training situation for you guys to figure out how you handle problems in the relationship. He's not even a real threat, because she knows what he is like and is dealing with it.
So the basic answer is you can NOT tell her how to live her life. You can express to her your worries, which it sounds like you have. But SHE has to make the decisions about how to handle her own friends. And you have to accept her and her choices. That's part of love - accepting someone for all they are, good and bad, without forcing them to change to meet your own particular needs.
So all of that being said, if she really IS this guy's friend, she will help him get over her so he goes on and finds a girl that is actually available. If she keeps 'nurturing' him, he's going to focus on her and not look for someone new. Which is just going to keep adding to his pain. If she DOES care about him she will help him see that he needs to find a new girlfriend, and get him on his way. If instead she keeps "comforting him" because it makes HER (i.e. your girlfriend) feel nice to be needed, she's only prolonging his sadness.

One of the unique features of the Dominican Rite of Office is the variability of much of the Office of Compline during during the seasons of Lent, Passiontide, Paschaltide, Ascensiontide, and through out the octave of Pentecost, when the hymn, Little Chapter, and responses change.
From Passion Sunday till Holy Thursday, the responsory is changes as follows:
From this Sunday until Easter Sunday, in the ferial and Sunday Offices, the responsories are said without the Gloria. Instead, the responsory is repeated.
The responsory In peace is now omitted. On Sundays and ferial days, the responsory is said as follows:
℟. Into your hands O Lord, * I commend my spirit. - Into your hands. You have redeemed me, Lord, God of truth. - I commend my spirit. And in place of Glory the ℟. Into your hands is repeated.But on feasts of the Saints, the resposory Into your hands is said with Glory in the usual manner.
This is followed immediately by the hymn for Lent:
Christ, qui lux es et dies,
Noctis tenebras detegis
Lucisque lumen crederis,
Lumen beatum praedicans.
Precamur sancta Domine,
Defende nos in hac nocte:
Sit nobis in te requies,
Quietam noctem tribue.
Ne gravis somnus irruat,
Nec hostis nos subripiat,
Nec caro illi consentiens
Nos tibi reos statuat.
Oculi somnum capiant,
Cor ad te semper vigilet:
Dextera tua protegat
Famulos, qui te diligunt.
Defensor noster aspice,
Insidiantes reprime,
Guberna tuos famulos,
Quos Sanguine nercatus es.
Memento nostril Domine,
In gravi isto corpore:
Qui es defensor animæ,
Adesto nobis Domine.
Præsta Pater omnipotens,
Per Jesum Christum Dominum.
Qui tecum in perpetuum
Regnat cum sancto Spiritu.
You are, O Christ, the light and day
Who chases nightly shades away;
Yourself, the light of light confessed,
Proclaim to us the brightness blest.
O holy Lord, we pray that you
May guard us well this whole night through;
In you, O let us find repose
All peaceful till the night shall close.
Let not dull sleep our spirits quell,
Ward off from us the foe from hell,
Nor let the flesh with him unite
To make us guilty in your site.
Then let our eyes due slumber take,
But hearts to you forever wake;
And may your right arm from above
Shield all who turn to you with love.
O strong Defender, hear our prayer,
Repel our foes and break each snare;
Control your servants, be their guide,
Who for their ransom bled and died.
Remember us, O Lord we pray
In weary body here today;
From every ill the soul defend,
Be with us, Lord, until the end.
Almighty Father, this accord
Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord,
Who, with the Holy Spirit true,
For ever reigns in bliss with you.
The antiphon for the Canticle of Simeon, from the Passion Sunday to Holy Thursday exclusive (except on feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary), is:
Ant. O King, resplendent in the midst of your saints, ever worthy of praise, yet surpassing all words! You, O Lord, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your holy name; leave us not, you are our God. And on the day of judgement, O blessed King, may you deign to place us among your saints and chosen ones.
As we approach Holy Week, let us increase our devotions and penances, and make a worthy preparation for the Holy Day of the Pasch.

I know I'm no writing-god like Thor (I won't add Loki in here, because frankly, he's crazy) and I hide out in India a lot and avoid confrontation, S.H.I.E.L.D, and scary red-headed assassins (oh, hi, Black Widow)... but I DO know one thing.
Writers should read.
"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."Stephan King
See? Even Stephan King says so.
Reading is good for poking creativity into action, yes, but it's also good for...
Ohmypurplepants, research is so fun. It's amazing! And exciting! And you can learn so much! And...oh. Hang on. Getting excited here.
...returns after a brief Hulk-smash....
So, what was I saying? Research. (Yes, yes, I'll keep calm. Don't fuss, Captain America.) I'm not talking about good-old-fashioned-research-of-facts. I'm talking about research for your market.
For example (we all love examples): Say you're writing Young Adult Paranormal. Say, you don't read YA Paranormal. Well, you've read one or two books, and you have a feel for the genre, and you like it. And BOOM inspiration comes upon you while you yodel in the shower. A book. A grand and glorious book. You write it only to find...
52 other paranormals have already done it.
I've heard it said that you shouldn't read the genre you write, in case you "copy". That's baloney, mate. You need to know what's out there, what you're up against.
Even if you thought of that "great-and-soon-to-be-bestseller-idea" all by your onesome, and THEN read it'd already been done, guess what? The idea is redundant. If it's been done, it's done.
Whatever genre you write, be it dystopian or contemporary or steampunk, I suggest reading a LOT in that genre. Don't overwhelm yourself. But never leave yourself in the dark.
Now, go smash something.

Ah, but can I ever just sit, relax and do nothing? Are you like me? Are you that type of a girl who would never stop working considering what she's doing is her passion?—something that drives you in the morning and afternoon, and even at night time? Time passes by so very fast when I'm working in the garden. I don't consider it a chore; not at all… here there is no such thing as Monday blues and you rush to work like a kid going to an arcade... it's like a dream, the earth spins around you… are we ever able to feel the Earth spin? Can birds and other garden creature feel it spin too?
The new flowerbed I've been working on for the last few weeks have delightfully changed the view of what it was the least appealing side of my garden. We've even made our own little pond with rocks collected from the riverbed... all I need now is a garden mouse and a hedgehog and one or two dragonflies and a frog, and some newts too! ;) I'm so happy! I am now surrounded by a walled garden; secluded—green swathing the eye; and the sweetest, most delightful-looking place I could think of.
How still the morning is; and how lovely the garden! As I sit here I'm listening at the stillness. What is it saying? Can you hear the stillness talking to you too? The birds around me have bowed quiet too... they're as still as all the rest of the garden. They aren't even fluttering their wings; they're sitting atop tree branches without stirring, looking at the garden; looking down at me in wonder.
I want to be here eternally; sitting here in the garden doing just this, thinking about these things, with this same warmth and same blue skies above me all year around. Not a thing to be changed; not even time... it is so precious—this very moments here in the summer garden.Now that I just remembered, I should go check in Arabella's box for that magical potion! Ah yes yes yes yes... that's what I should do! You see, a while ago while in Hollow Woods a witch gave me some magical potion—a flask with potion so potent it can transform you into a bird, or a frog or even worse things if you're not careful enough or forget to say the right words. But I'm sure this will do the trick, and I'll have my broom do all the work for me in a zilch! Don't worry, I now exactly what to do: First off, I'd shake the flask; then I will remove the lid from the flask. Turn the flask upside down over a slow fire and gently shake the flask so the potion would come out... as I do this, I would chant: "Rain, rain, come our way... fill the sky, soothe the land!" Ups!! Oh my oh my.... that's not it, is it!! That's the spell to bring rain!! And what are those words to make my broom do the work? Oh dear dear me, can you hear it? Ah yes, in the distance... the rumble of thunder as the storms weaves it's weary path! Best be off now lest I want to get socked! And who knows, I might be turning into a disgusting frog right this very moment! Do tell me... can you see me from where you are? Do I look anything like a frog to you? Gulp! ;)
What are you doing in your garden lately? Working too much too? Relaxing? Figuring out the language of birds? Do share your stories!

2013 Nightboat Poetry Prize Winner
Nightboat Books is delighted to announce the winner of the 10th annual Nightboat Poetry Prize competition: Gabriella Klein of Santa Barbara, California, whose manuscript Land Sparing was selected by the editors. She will receive the $1,000 prize in addition to the publication of her book by Nightboat Books in April 2015.
Gabriella Klein earned her undergraduate degree at Wesleyan University and her MFA at Vermont College of Fine Arts. Her poems have appeared in Conduit, Jubliat, A Handsome Journal, FIELD, and elsewhere. She is the recipient of fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center and the Santa Barbara Poetry Conference. With her husband and daughter, she resides on California's Central Coast.
In his citation for the prize, Kazim Ali writes:
The benefit of the lyric is that it allows us, as music, outside of time or perhaps more accurately at all points of time, to see a moment for what it is. For Gabriella Klein the interest isn't academic but embodied. In Land Sparing, the human and the planet are in a relationship, not tenuous nor extreme but for too long unexamined. And when I say "relationship," I don't mean theoretical, biological or even spiritual but an actual relationship: personal, erotic, possessive and tender.
They are gyroscopic, telescopic, microscopic. Insects and universes each are as grand and intimate as the other. There doesn't seem to be an "intent" in these poems--to know is enough for this poet and so one encounters the work as processes, interactions, experienced as lyric moments. The stars, the forest, mud, a daughter, the Chinook wind, a honeybee, the sea--they all have as much agency and presence in this work as the poet/speaker herself.
In couplet, stanza and monostich, Gabriella Klein gathers together all her kind-hearted faculties. She is brave enough to be desperate, to be agitated, to be wrecked, to be in love. There is a music so grounded yet so light that one wants to believe this tricky and fraught relationship is going to survive even against what seem now like steep odds indeed.
The deadline for the 11th annual Nightboat Books Poetry Prize will November 15, 2014. Please check www.nightboat.org for more details.

Will Repair Install work with Windows Anytime Upgrade?
I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium(OEM) to Windows 7 Professional using Windows Anytime Upgrade. Since the upgrade is done online, with no DVD provided, is there any way to do a Repair Install? I allready tried the OEM RE-install disk, and setup won't allow the install. It is an install DVD, not an image restore disk.
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
You have a Premium locked DVD which now needs to be Professional.
The solution is to unlock all versions in the installer, which can be done by:
downloading the DVD files to your desktop,
editing the Sources folder to delete the ei.cfg file,
then recompiling the files into an ISO using this tutorial: Bootable ISO - Create from Installation Files
Then use ImgBurn at 4x speed with Verify to burn your DVD. Never fails.
You should now be able to do your repair, or even clean reinstall from boot with that DVD by choosing Pro since you have a pro key, although I would def make a system image backup in case Anytime keys prove to not work in regular installs.
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
Windows 7 Pro & Vista Home Premium
After you get it sorted out
Most all of us agree that an upgrade is not the route to take. It leaves useless files on your system and can cause conflicts.
Save all you Documents, Pictures, contacts, videos, music, etc to a flash drive,
Be aware, you will need to re-install your 3rd party applications.
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
Clean Install
Thank you for the good information, I will burn the DVD and do a clean install. I purchased this Dell to replace an unexpected motherboard failure, chose the OEM mainly due to budget considerations. Had to go through a long service ticket to get Dell to send me an install DVD. No one at MS seems to know much about how the Anytime Upgrade process works, or if they can provide me with an upgrade DVD, told me to check back later. Seven Forums provides much better information than Microsoft!
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
Well we still need to know for sure if Anytime keys work in reinstalls, as the reports around here are split and confusing so far. So even running a repair install (which requires re-activation) is a risk.
That's why I again suggest you use Win7 backup imaging to save a System Image to an external or secondary internal HDD, so that if the Anytime key is rejected you can come in here for immediate help and if necessary reimage to try another route.
MS needs to get its act together and provide a path to doing Repair installs and reinstalls on an Anytime Upgraded OS!
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
I do have an image backup, however one of the problems I am trying to correct is that windows file backup will not work, returns an error 0x8007002 " The file cannot be found". I have a complete harddrive image using a third party backup.
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
You have one of those situations where you cannot afford to lose your OS (until you get a repair install to work so you know you have the ability to reinstall), so I would suggest SIW2's solution to having a failsafe image backup: Use two different programs.
On the very last XP install which would run the Sanjet 4070 scanner for slides here, I used Acronis and Macrium free. This way if one fails, the other one has it's back.
Suggest you also set up a Windows 7 Image backup saved externally. This might get the backup center working correctly so you can try your file backup again. If it returns the same error, post it here in a new topic for maximum attention troubleshooting.
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2009
Thanks, good advice. I will be working on this late tonight, and tomorrow, and will post back and let you know.
|My System Specs

I created a DVD that will install all versions of Windows 7 by copying the setup files from the OEM DVD to my hard drive, deleting (dvd files)\support\efi.cfg, creating an ISO image using ImgBurn, and burning the image to a bootable, dual layer DVD(image is over 6 GB). vLite would not work with the OEM DVD.
Well, the Anytime Upgrade key won,t work with a clean install or a Upgrade Reinstall. It appears the only path is to reinstall the OEM OS(in my case Windows 7 Home Premium), then use Any Time Upgrade from the Start Menu to reinstall the Upgrade(in my case Win 7 Pro). The key won,t work for a clean install, even if you install the OEM first, and if you try an Upgrade Repair Reinstall, setup tells you the only path to upgrade to a higher version of Windows 7 is to go to Windows Anytime Upgrade from the Start Menu. So thats what I did, a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium(OEM), and installed Windows 7 Pro using Windows Anytime Upgrade. Activation of the upgrade went fine using the key I had allready purchased.
|My System Specs
|01 Dec 2009
Sorry to hear it. This is a glaring problem with these Anytime upgrades which MS needs to address soon.
Now we know for sure that Anytime Upgrade keys DO NOT work when reinstalling Windows 7 upgraded version, only to Upgrade the lesser version by unlocking features.
It is even more important now that you use Win7 backup imaging (or a 3rd party app which isn't built in) to save a System Image so that you never have to reinstall Win7 again, just boot into the install/repair DVD's Repair console and "Recover Using an Image" to reimage your HD (or a replacement) in 15 minutes.

Wells Fargo shows no sign of slowing down its mortgage lending.
The risk of rising interest rates continue to loom over what has been a successful first quarter.
Well's mortgage income grew 42% from the previous year to $2.9 billion in its Q1 earnings report, especially with a growing share of businesses from correspondent lender.
"If you are a community bank and depend on Wells Fargo as a correspondent bank, you are unfortunately at their control," said Ron Haynie, executive vice president at the Independent Community Bankers of America.
With a third of all U.S. home loans already funded by Wells, president Mike Heid said that "there's no ceiling" to its home lending.
Confident in its history of traditional banking, dodging of riskier mortgages and underwriting protocols, Wells continues to invest in mortgages while its competitors retract.

How To Grow An Unlimited Supply Of Fresh Organic Turmeric At Home All Year Long
Turmeric is considered to be one of the healthiest spices in the world. The main and the most powerful compound that turmeric contains is curcumin. This is extremely powerful active compound that is beneficial for the human body and provides many health benefits. Namely, the curcumin has incredibly powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
Turmeric can be grown as a container plant as well. Turmeric is usually grown for its flavorful, bright orange roots.
Grow Turmeric in This Way
You will need roots which are called rhizomes in order to grow turmeric. These rhizomes should be planted fresh and in spring. You can grow several plants from one rhizome, but it may be hard to find one. You can use the rhizome for just one plant or every rhizome has fingers which can be snapped and then planted for individual plants. You need to face upwards any sprouts or buds if you notice them in the pieces. You need to plant the pieces, but make sure to leave 12 inches space between them and plant them 2 inches deep. All you need to do is press the pieces gently and flatten the soil above the area.
You need to select a location which can provide sunshine in the mornings and shade in the afternoons. If you want your turmeric to thrive, make sure the soil is rich. This plant likes moist soil, however, make sure not to overwater it.
Turmeric prefers tropical zones which are warm and humid and in areas like that it can grow for 8 to 10 months. Once the plant begins to shrivel and turn yellow, you need to harvest its roots by digging out the whole plant. Put the rhizomes aside and keep them for next year.
You can also choose to leave the roots inside the ground for next year. The roots are going to sprout new flowers in the spring.
If you live in a colder climate, the turmeric should be transplanted into containers and then moved inside before the first frost. Spray the turmeric with a spray bottle and keep it moist. Once the plant becomes mature, it is going to dry up and turn yellow. Once again, dig up the whole plant from the container, remove the roots and put some away for next year.
You can store the roots in the fridge for up to six months. You can also freeze turmeric. The flavor of turmeric is strong and warm when chopped or grated and used in stews and soups.
Problems and Pests
Turmeric which is grown outdoors is a low-maintenance plant and it is resistant to various pests and problems. Nevertheless, if overwatered its roots can rot. Generally, turmeric is a tropical plant and it cannot stand cold weather. If you plan to grow turmeric somewhere with a cooler climate, make sure to move it indoors and protect it from the cold weather.
Both, outdoor and indoor turmeric are susceptible to mites and aphids, but these can be cleaned with the help of a spray of bottle.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book to review.
You remember Dara Torres, right? She's the forty-something, mom who has six-pack abs. You know, the one who swam her way to three Olympic medals two years ago, beating kids who hadn't been born yet when she attended her high school prom. Depending on your outlook, she might inspire you to be fit despite your age or just make you feel depressed that you're not in as good of shape as her. If it's the latter, you now have a better chance at trying to keep up. Dara's revealed some of the secrets of her training regimen in a book titled Gold Medal Fitness: A Revolutionary 5-Week Program written in collaboration with writer Billie Fitzpatrick.
The book has a conversational tone that intermixes Dara's personal experiences with the technical information of her routine, making it an easy read. The program is based on what Dara's learned about training smarter as she ages, and thus is targeted at women. As a swimmer, Dara's program is focused on […]

If the Radiolab podcast were a boy, I'd be doodling its name in my notebook with little hearts around it, and whenever it spoke to me I'd break out into a frenzy of nervous giggles. I totally crush on it.
For those of you who do not know the love of my life, Radiolab is a science podcast that explores the mysteries of nature. The latest episode might be of particular interest to anyone who's run a marathon or has felt like they've run a marathon when they only signed up for a 5K. It covered human limits, and the first segment in particular explored the limits of our bodies. First, it told the story of an Ironman competitor who was so determined to finish, even though her body was shutting down, that she literally crawled across the finish line. She also pooped her pants on national TV. (The way to fame can be messy.) The video is below.
They also covered The Race Across America, in which competitors bike across the country over the […]

PastaQueen reads a book. And finishes it! And tells you about it!
October 14, 2009 at 9:08 am
When I am running, I try not to think about the fact that I'm running. That is because running sucks. Anyone who tells you running doesn't suck is a liar. Have you ever seen the runners at the end of the Boston Marathon? They are thrilled to cross the finish line because it means they don't have to run any farther. Even the fast people are exhausted at the end of the race.
I love running too, even though it sucks. I love the happy chemicals it releases in my body. I get a great feeling of accomplishment after I survive a race. Sometimes, I even feel like a graceful, yet powerful gazelle, jaunting across the Sahara, even though I probably look more like a chubby housecat sprinting for a bag of Friskies. Still, running is uncomfortable. It makes me breathe hard and leaves me very sweaty and sticky and stinky.
This is why I try to ignore the fact that I am running while I am running. I didn't quite realize that I was doing, until […]

Chutes and Ladders was one of the board games I played when my age was a single-digit number, along with Sorry! and Candyland. While Candyland was a sugary, sweet fantasy world with candy cane forests and gumdrop mountains, Chutes and Ladders was more like reality because just when you thought you were ahead, life would knock you on your ass and you'd fall behind. For those unfamiliar with the rules, you'd roll the dice and then move your figure that many spaces forward. If the space you landed on had a ladder, you got to move up to the space the ladder pointed to. If you landed on a chute, you fell down to a previous space.
Last year, I felt like I'd landed on square 87 and slid down the long, long chute to square 24, and not just because those squares show the doofus who's trying to sneak cookies from the cookie jar. Life was going pretty well. I was exercising and eating right and I'd gotten a shiny, new job and all was […]

Back-Angled Bob with Long Hair
Click to enlarge
This is a long version of the back-angled bob and a haircut that is good for those with long hair who like versatility in their hairstyle. This cut enables the individual to style her hair with volume and curl, yet it can still be styled smooth and straight and look good. (The photos show both the before and after images of the cut.)
Having worked with this particular manikin for a little while now, I felt she was due for a makeover. As you can see in the before photo, the manikin's long hair was not uniform in length. The lower 4 inches of the hair became sparse and stringy and often tangled as a result of split ends. It was time to remove these problem areas so that the hair looked healthier.
However, the hair near the front of the manikin was in better condition than that at the back, and I wanted to minimize the amount of length cut, while maximizing the amount of damaged hair removed in back. This made her a perfect candidate for a cut I have named "The Back-Angled Bob".
The key to creating this cut is the use of a backward tilt of the head when cutting. By tilting the head back at an angle and using a horizontal cutting line, we create a nice angled cut that is longer in front and has a nice bevel in the back.
How To:
As always, you should begin with freshly washed and conditioned hair. Leave the hair towel-dried and have a spray bottle of water handy to keep the hair damp for cutting. Part the hair down the center of the head and divide the hair into two sections. Leave down a 1-inch section of hair in the back in the center.
Tilt back the head to the desired angle, and remember the further back the head is tilted, the steeper the bevel will be in the back of the head when finished. Comb the small section you left down to smooth it and make sure it is centered then cut it to the desired length, using a straight, horizontal cutting line. It is best to work from the side when cutting, to make sure you keep the angles and lines in the proper position.
Continue the cut, by letting down the hair on one side in ½-inch segments. Comb the hair to the center back and cut it to match the initial guide length. You can alternate from side to side as you go, or work on one side, then move to the opposite side when finished, as you prefer. Once you've completed both sides, it's time to finish the cut.
To finish the cut, raise the head to a full upright position and comb the hair straight down all around the head with a straight parting in the center at the top of the head. Beginning at the center back of the head, comb the hair down and make sure the bottom edge of the hair is even. If needed, cut the hairs to make them even. Work your way around one side from back to the front and then the other, creating an even angled line from the center back to the front.

text: My garter stitch jacket (see previous post) is a great success. I have worn it twice at work this week - once for a normal day at school where I was flattered to get complimentary comments from the art department; and again, with jeans and a casual shirt, when I was out of school on a course. So I have started with enthusiasm on my next project, which is called Hunter Jacket and the pattern is in the Classic Elite Yarns' St. Denis Magazine (only available in the USA). The stitch pattern is twisted moss stitch repeated over 8 rows, so it is interesting but not difficult to knit. The yarn is a pure wool, 5-ply sport weight called Nordique, which really allows the stitch texture to resonate. The designer, Laura Grutzeck has included some nice design features which will make the finished cardigan very neat and finished: a turned hem on the back, using a provisional cast-on, and mitred, ribbed edges on the fronts.

When you're passionate about something, you want to share that passion with the world. For many pilots that means telling friends about aviation or taking them for rides. But for Darren Large, it means something bigger.
Large started an Aviation Explorer post at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey where he serves as the projects and grants administrator. The program helps young people ages 15 to 20 who are interested in aviation explore career options and develop an understanding of the field through firsthand experiences.
The Morristown post, which meets once a month, started in January and currently includes five boys and four girls. The group already has toured the control tower, talked with a corporate pilot and toured the aircraft and hangar where he works, and met with the Airport Rescue Fire Fighting Department. Participants also spend time in the classroom where they may study aviation weather or cover private pilot ground school topics.
"Sometimes an airport is not everyone's favorite neighbor, and many of us in the industry realize that," Large said. "This program has allowed the airport to open its doors to the young men and women in the area who are interested in aviation. And it has allowed us to educate [their] parents on the importance of aviation and the airport to the community."
Large, who participated in an Explorer program as a teenager, also was part of a job shadowing program that allowed him to spend a day following a corporate pilot. That experience got him hooked on aviation, and he hopes to do the same for participants in the Aviation Explorer program.
"Many people who go on to careers in aviation do so because just one experience made them fall in love with it," Large said. "The Explorer program allows us to provide the experiences that will hopefully steer the participants toward a career in aviation."
Large encourages anyone in a position to start an Explorer post to do so. "We are all ambassadors of aviation, and we need to promote the industry and open it up to those who may be interested in working side by side with us one day," he said.
Pilots and teachers also can share aviation knowledge with teens through AOPA's PATH to Aviation Program. The program includes an 11-module handbook that effectively relates aviation information to secondary school subjects, including math, science, and history.

Love your quilt!!! And those drawers are gorgeous too. Can I ask, do you find your venetian blinds block out most of the light (I'm thinking of getting some for my little girl's room). Hope all is well over your way x

Hey, 2 months isn't bad - I have a picture that shows how much stuff went into that room - I think you did an amazing job!! I do like that your space by your bed is very uncluttered and looks so relaxing and comfortable - I will have to do some snooping for a bed skirt tho! And my favorite part - you have a picture of Moxie!! LOL
Now the hard part - keeping it looking like that!!

Amanda - Thanks! I think the venetian blinds are okay if you have something else over them like some light curtains or something. Otherwise, no, they don't really block out all of the light! You'd be better off with just some block out curtains or roman blinds. They have that layer of block-out fabric. Nothing else really works as well I don't think.

Hey Ayler - you need to check out Mary Engelbreit's blog showing her new giftware coming in the spring - it looks so vintage-y - it is adorable!!
Sorry - just had to write again - I love your green room!

So I put it in this pocket in my backpack and I saw him pick up my backpack or w/e (his back was to me I couldnt see). So 5 min later I went and checked and it was gone, and just as I looked up I saw him booking it outta the gym. Ironically the other day he was telling me about how he steals people ipods and then sells them. I know this is a stupid thread, I just needed to write to get some of my anger out.

"There remains a rest, therefore, for the people of God."
The writer of the Hebrew went on to explain that those who have entered "the rest" have "ceased from his works as God did from His", to mean that only those who have died and moved on from the turmoils of this earth have indeed started their rest. The attainment of "rest" comes with it a prerequisite of "work": "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works." It also entails an approval before "rest" is given: "So I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.'"
Reading these verses from Hebrews 4 made me think of the nature of man. Look around a typical working man and his unquenchable search for R&R (rest and relaxation), only to get tired after every vacation and coveting for more. Man has a seemingly insatiable desire to have ultimate comfort. How many times have we heard or ourselves wistfully desired, "If only I can be so and so, or I have this and that, I'm sure my life would be perfect." Man, by nature, searches for something beyond the workings of the now. And in his continuous working, strives daily, hoping to land into that perfect place of forever. Yet no matter how seemingly perfect the situation we are in, it never seemed to last. That's why when such times happen, we would have subtle wishes of, "I hope this would last forever," knowing that it won't because the steam of things would ultimately dissipate into mist.
God has placed eternity in the hearts of man (Ecclesiastes 3:11). It is that hole of "forever" that is so elusive we cannot even grab hold of it even as we try to put a cut-out puzzle piece to cover the whole. It is so pervasive, it dulls even the most active of souls.
We will never get satisfied. We will never get fully comforted. We will never attain perfect rest…at least not until we enter THE rest promised to us. And that is the redeeming value of rest, that we can have it. "And this is the promise that He has given us–eternal life." (I John 2:25) There is a rest. There is a promise. Instead of prematurely chasing after rest (which we will attain in due time), let's take comfort in the promise and believe that the One who has carved out that hole of eternity will one day fit His perfectly-molded piece and let us enter into His promised rest.

Experts and researchers in the broad subject area of tropical agriculture are faced with a bewildering choice of information sources. On the one hand there are huge information services with their abstracts counted in millions and, on the other hand, there are the tens of thousands of journals, books, reports, conference proceedings and theses. No single researcher can scan all these information sources to find key material in his or her discipline. A new bibliographical journal Agriculture and environment for developing regions was first published in January 1996. It aims to counteract this 'information overload' by selecting annually some 6,000 key articles and monographs from the contents of more than 4,000 journals and thousands more books, conference reports and theses. These 6,000 documents are then abstracted by subject specialists for inclusion in the journal. The journal covers the whole spectrum of agriculture and the environment in tropical and subtropical regions: literature from other regions of the world is only included when it is of direct relevance to the tropics. Disciplines covered include agronomy, animal husbandry, environmental sciences, forestry, land management, plant breeding and production economics. The 6,000 abstracts published in each annual volume of the journal are also placed on the TROPAG & RURAL bibliographic database, which is available on CD-ROM and on-line. The TROPAG & RURAL CD-ROM, published by SilverPlatter, contains some 116,000 abstracts from the international literature on tropical agriculture and rural development from 1975 onwards. The journal and bibliographic database are produced on a non-profit basis by several member institutes of the European Consortium for Agricultural Research in the Tropics (ECART). ECART members comprise ATSAF and GTZ of Germany, CIRAD of France, llCT of Portugal, KIT of the Netherlands and NRI from the UK. An annual subscription to the monthly journal is US$ 310.00 inclusive of postage and packing. A subscription to the CD-ROM costs US$ 825.00 including software and twice-yearly updates.

Your Chamber Supports the Levy for the Westerville Parks & Recreation Dept.July 25, 2014The Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce announces its support for the November 4 Income Tax based on a unanimous vote from its Board of Trustees. The Chamber Board considered the matter on a recommendation of the Chamber's Government Relations Committee.
The Chamber's position is based on the realization that the Parks & Recreation amenities are an asset to Westerville and often play a role in the retention and expansion of business in the community. The Department has operated with business principals and demonstrated return on investment consistent with the expectations of Westerville businesses.
Your "Yes' vote not only thanks the department for a job well done, but offers a vote of confidence that the work will continue. The Parks and Recreation Department has proved to be an outstanding steward of the public's funds and trust. Passage of this levy will give them budget certainty to continue to maintain and expand the amenities will all enjoy today. The Committee emphasized with the Board of Trustees that this request for the .25% income tax is not a new tax nor a tax increase. The levy is a renewal of an existing .25% income tax already paid by Westerville residents and those who work in the City of Westerville.
Some of the amenities directly supported by the levy will include:
existing Parks & Recreation building expansions such as the Community Center and re-purpose the existing older senior center, maintenance of the existing Highlands Park Aquatic Center and bike/walk paths, and new park acquisitions and development of park facilities
The current .25% income tax dedicated for Parks & Recreation that was approved by voters in 1998 is in effect until Dec. 1, 2020. Seeking renewal for a 20 year term allows the Department to secure capital investments, grants, and apply for matching funds to continue to be the best stewards of our money. Approving this levy will provide the dedicated funding source to meet the needs expressed in the PROS Master plan and maintain and expand where necessary the current park facilities and programs.

Poor John Edwards. He's such a douchebag and he doesn't even know it. I think even The Situation has more self-awareness then this smug politician. And now we have photographic evidence of Edwards' complacency and conceitedness: his glorious mugshot was released today. I just want to smack that grin right off his face.
The mugshot was taken when Edwards pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and campaign law violations earlier this month. The former Democratic vice presidential nominee had a chance here in this instance to look embarrassed, or remorseful, but decided against it. His big old pompous smile is all up in our faces, reminding us once again that we were all totally fooled by this puffed-up politician.
Edwards is accused of using campaign donations to cover up his affair with Rielle Hunter. Yeah, because if that ever got out, things could get real awkward. Oh, oops! There's that truth again, sticking its head out at the most inopportune times. And now he's (hopefully) going to pay for all that he's done. Since it's not illegal to cheat on a wife dying of cancer, I'm glad there's something we can throw the book at him for.
And if douchey mugshots was another prosecutable offense, I'd be all over that courtroom calling for a life sentence for Edwards. Why smile? Why? What was he thinking? He looks as happy as someone who just won a cake walk at the county fair and ducked into a photo booth to commemorate his sweet victory. Had he just worn a straight face (and maybe an orange jumpsuit) in his mugshot, I wouldn't have been this upset.
But no, Smiles McGees just couldn't dare look like a human who's made a mistake and had to keep on beaming like he's got something to win. The race is over, Edwards. You lose.
Does Edwards' mugshot rub you the wrong way?

The massive shade wasn't going to work and so after several wreck and ruins I came up with a new shade that I liked. It isn't perfect and has some mistakes that are going to bug me until I decide to redo it but for now - it works and I love the look if I ignore the not obvious mistakes. :)
great tutorial for refinishing a shade with fabric.

I enjoyed the style of Secret Life of Bees, but really had no intention of reading Kidd's second attempt at best-sellerdom (probably out of jealousy, if I'm honest with myself - and, well anyone who reads this). But, because it was within view of both the children's area where my son was occupied and the New Fiction stacks at the library, my choices were limited. A quick glance across the bindings for the slice of green tape (indicating essentially, "there are oodles of requests pending for this title and you're lucky to find this one-copy-we-keep-in-circulation-regardless) led me to pluck The Mermaid's Chair from the shelf in spite of my hesitations.
It is engaging so far. Character driven (I like that) and filled with symbolism (like that too).
But here's the main reason I feel compelled to write about it today...
I've been praying for the Lord to reveal the reason(s) for my self-sabotoging ways. To unleash some revelation about why I hold myself back from what I really want to do: finish my novel.
It appeared at the end of a couple paragraphs meant for setting-up the main character's interior justifications and current mind-set.
Lately Hugh (main character's husband) had pushed me to see Dr. Ilg, one of the therapists in his practice. I'd refused on the grounds that she had a parrot in her office.
I knew that would drive him crazy. This wasn't the real reason, of course--I have nothing against people's having parrots, except that they keep them in little cages. But I used it as a way of letting him know I wasn't taking the suggestion seriously. It was one of the rare times I didn't acquiesce to him.
"So she's got a parrot, so what?" he'd said. "You'd like her." Probably I would, but I couldn't quite bring myself to go that far--all that paddling around in the alphabet soup of one's childhood, scooping up letters, hoping to arrange them into enlightening senctences that would explain why things had turned out the way they had. It evoked a certain mutiny in me.
I did occasionally, though, play out imaginary sessions with Dr. Ilg in my head. I would tell her about my father and grunting, she would write it down on a little pad--which is all she ever seemed to do. I pictured her bird as a dazzling whit cockatoo perched on the back of her chair, belting out all sorts of flagrant opinions, repeating itself like a Greek chorus: "You blame yourself, you blame yourself, you blame yourself."
Anyone who knows me, and anything about my upbringing, will understand why this last line makes infinite sense to me. I believe it is THE ANSWER I was praying for. That my enlightenment comes from the least expected of places only confirms its validity for me.
Where most people labor under a fear of failure, I am coming to realize my issue has more to do with fear of success. Which I think is tied to forgiveness and guilt.
So, while I've done a lot of work in the past years forgiving everyone I can think of who may have contributed to my ragged past, I think I've left someone out.
Perhaps I have only this little bit of work to do before I can really do the work I want.

Penne with Fennel-Tomatoe-Sauce
I never really liked fennel very much - but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one there! I only ever have anything to do with the funny-looking veggie when I drink fennel-tea while sick. So, when I came across this recipe in Tim Mälzers vegetarian cookbook 'Green Box', I was sceptical at first, but I told myself that it couldn't hurt to try out a 'new' - or more fitting, not liked - vegetable once in a while. What can I say? I thikk you should also give this green another shot in your kitchen! Combined with tomatoes, lemon juice and cheese, that typically strong fennel taste doesn't take over everything else in this simple dish, yet still offering you a taste adventure!
Ingredients (4 Portions):
-400g penne
-1 fennel bulb
-4 tomatoes
-1 lemon
-8 tbsp. olive oil
-60g parmesan cheese, grated
1. Boil penne in salted water until 'al dente'. Keep 150ml of the pasta water.
2. Remove fronds from washed fennel. Place a grater in a large bowl and coarsely grate fennel and tomatoes. Press out lemon juice, mix with 4 tablespoons olive oil and spice with salt,pepper and sugar.
3. Add penne, pasta water and remaining oil into sauce. Spice to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Strew with parmesan and fronds and serve warm!

MILAN (AP) - Marni creative director Consuelo Castiglioni is seeking to obliterate minimalism with her new collection for next summer.
MILAN (AP) � Marni creative director Consuelo Castiglioni is seeking to obliterate minimalism with her new collection for next summer.
"Silencing the urge to minimize" is the way she put it in her show notes. As if in synch with her intentions, the electricity failed before the second show Sunday, the fifth day of Milan Fashion Week, and models walked the runway in silence, with only the flash of cameras to pace them. The unintended effect conveyed a certain gravitas on the collection.
Castiglioni played, as she often does, with volumes of the clothes � this time seeking "lightness." She deployed pleats, ruffles and bustles unconventionally, putting, for example, a bustle on the front of a skirt to soften the silhouette, creating a loose ruffle that flows like a waterfall down the front of a skirt or another tighter and more busy that conveys the softness of a baby chick.
Castiglioni takes the resulting pretty looks and adds a sports touch: a stripy belt, or a bomber jacket, or platform trekking sandals.
"I really wanted to give women something to make them individual, to make the clothes really light with some experimenting," Castiglioni said backstage.
Another lightness play: creating looks from sheer fabric to something denser, like a crepe, and with the same floral prints in a gravity play, an exercise in opposites and contrasting weights.
High-waist trousers had elaborate folds on the front, as sort of origami that wraps around the body, and drop into deep cuffs. In one iteration, sheer black pants were worn over shorts, and paired with a delicately pleated top with spaghetti straps.
The collection featured many Asian touches, from the fine floral prints to the Geisha-style super-high thongs.
Visors and chunky jewelry finished the looks, along with geometrically-structured handbags.

Re: black layer in bass guitars
Purely decorative, And it's actually available on every bass and guitar model, I think. It's the 3PB (3 Piece Body) option, and can be the thin black layer like you see on the icon bass, our our can be a layer that is a little bit thicker of contrasting wood like what was on the anniversary edition LB basses and DC400W of yore.
