|Buddhist Dictionary of Pali Proper Names by G P Malalasekera
|Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta:Name of the first sermon,preached by the Buddha,to the Pañcavaggiyas at the Migadāya in Isipatana,on the full-moon day of āsālha.The sutta contains the fundamental principles of the Buddha's teaching - the avoidance of the two extremes of asceticism and luxury and the four Ariyan truths including theAriyan Eightfold Way.
There was great rejoicing throughout the Cakkavāla at the preaching of the sermon,and at its conclusion Kondañña attained to realisation of the Truth - hence his name,Aññā-Kondañña.Vin.i.10f; the sutta is also given in S.v.420ff; in neither context is the name of the sutta given as such; the name occurs only in the Commentaries - e.g.,J.i.82; DA.i.2; AA.i.69,etc; the Sanskrit version is found in Lal.540 (416)f.,and in Mtu.iii.330f.
The sermon was later preached by the Thera Majjhima in the Himālaya country,when eighty thousand crores of beings understood the Doctrine (Mhv.xii.41; Dpv.viii.11).
It was also preached by Mahinda in Ceylon in the Nandanavana,when one thousand persons were converted.Mhv.xv.200; Dpv.xiv.46,etc.

And, I saw this photo:
With the snarky caption, You left out "Ignorant Redneck"
Mmm... No, I don't think so.
Naturally, I was a little perturbed, as while I'm not a Christian, a Conservative, or a property owner (land, anyway... And while I technically own a gun, my brother keeps it for me in upstate NY), the other things on that truck pretty much fit me - So I ambled over to the comments to exercise my first amendment rights.
...And to my surprise, I saw 46 comments, and 95% of them were supportive of the truck owner!
Call me crazy, but just a few short years ago, I don't think we would have seen so many people sticking up for someone unabashedly expressing themselves for Liberty!
Warms the cockles of my heart, it does (and makes me want to buy some vinyl letters to put on my wagon!).
If you have a tip of an article that should be posted here, please leave a comment, and let people know about this blog by sending them links to articles and suggest they subscribe to the RSS feed! Thanks!
Liberty is Winning, because of YOU

(yes, my mom still gets me clothes...she's just great like that) she has a great eye for colors and patterns, and knows my weakness for eye-catching pieces. case and point: this scarf and belt. dynamite on their own but, when put together...perfect. how does she always do that? it's got to be a super power :)

"Not everything that can be counted counts,
and not everything that counts can be counted."
-Albert Einstein-
I used to think bigger is always better...until we found our home by the sea. I never thought I would prefer a smaller house. But it was like love at first sight (as with all our homes:)). I remember previewing over 20 properties in one weekend. I also remember 2 homes that stood out from the rest. They were completely opposite homes...one was big and exquisite while the other, now our home, is a smaller single level home that nurtures the soul. I am so glad I followed my heart (or should I say led my heart...since my then "bigger is better" mentality was trying to confuse my disposition). By the grace of God I was guided in choosing a home that feeds the spirit. My used to be "bigger is better" perspective is now superseded by a more refreshing and inspiring outlook on our not so big home I now call..."smaller with bigger soul".
3 Benefits of a "Smaller with Bigger Soul" Home:
1. Favors the quality of its spaces over the quantity.
We used to have a 3,642 square foot home that had a lot of wasted and unused spaces. Of the 5 bedrooms, not including the retreat off the masters nor the office loft, we only used 3. Our family love staying together in one room. We also only used 2 1/2 of the 4 1/2 bathrooms. Our formal spaces were only used pretty much when we have company. Then there was the separate third car garage I converted into a craft room (check out photo here) only to find out I felt so detached from the rest of the family.
Our present just-a-little-over 2000 square foot "smaller with bigger soul" home has each space in use every day. It feels so nourshing to the soul to see the whole family at work in every space. Our formal dining room is a conducive study area. The boys room doubles as a play room, while Isabella's room doubles as a dance practice room. Both rooms even work overtime as a guest room when company comes. Our master's bedroom has an area for home office and an area for "retreat".
2. Nurturing and welcoming over impressing and overwhelming
The grand entrance of our then bigger home, with its curved staircase and soaring ceilings spanning 2 levels and more, is designed to impress and overwhelm.
Our now open and inviting home is designed to nurture and welcome. Though the ceilings do not boast of soaring height, its 11 foot ceilings and open floor plan invites a lot of natural light in, bringing warmth to its gleaming hardwood floors that say "come on in". Comfort is born of smaller scale. Whenever I pause and sit down to savour the warmth and beauty of our "smaller with bigger soul" home, I feel its warm embrace anywhere I am in the house.
3. Efficiency
One of the biggest benefit I found in downsizing from a big house is efficiency. There's less square footage to heat and cool, fewer rooms to declutter and clean. A big house becomes just one more chore to maintain. A smaller home inspires me daily with feelings of appreciation for the richness that abound. A great example of "Less is More". Less time cleaning, more time to enjoy the fruits of my labour.
Looking back now, I can't believe I thought I would not prefer a smaller home. And I can't believe I even thought I would grieve downsizing from our big home for a long time (confession time). Thank God for turning what I thought would be grief to joy beyond words. Our "smaller with bigger soul" home invited me into solitude bringing me to a whole new me.
These are just my own perspective from my personal experience in downsizing.
What about you? Would you prefer a smaller home over a bigger one?

Early morning starts can be the worst! I discovered that this week as I started training for a new job. Since finishing school I've had nothing to do so I would go to bed when I chose to and wake up when I wanted to- BAD IDEA! I'm suffering for it now though because my body is so used to sleeping so late that I'm finding it hard to sleep on time (lol and I make sure I watch big brother as well) so I'm constantly waking up tired :(
*sigh* I guess this is my life now so wish me luck! :)

In what ways does your medea product use, develop or challenge forms of codes and conventions of real media products?
The front cover of my school magazine uses forms of the codes and conventions of real media products as I have used a main image which takes up the whole page, I have used a big title, I have used a barcode and a price and I have also included the date ane issue number. In my main main image, I have used direct address and my main main article is the largest coverline. My title is in the top left corner and is in one font however I have not used a unique font. I have also used a small number of colours which were purple and black. The front cover of my school magazine challenged the forms of codes and conventions as I didnt include puff's, buzzwords or coverlines. I also didnt include any sublines.
My contents page uses forms of the codes and conventions of real media products as the word contents was at the top of the page however the name of my magazine was at the bottom and i also didnt include the issue date in my contents page. I organised the contents into categories and put the page numbers by the articles. I included a picture of the front cover of my magazine at the bottom of the contents and stuck to the same simple colour scheme of purple and black. I also included pictures of the articles and put the page number of that article so it anchors them to the written contents. My contents page challenged the forms of codes and conventions as I didnt arrange the contents in columns, there wasn't one main image referring to the main article. I didnt include any subscription or contact information, or an editors letter. I didnt give the reader specific detail on what the articles are about. The photographs I used were not interested and varied.
How did you use new media technologies in the construction of your media product?
In the construction of my school magazine, I used Adobe Photoshop to create my magazine which I have used before however I used Quark Express to create my contents page which I have never used before.
What are the stengths and weaknesses of both the product and your use of new media technologies?
On my front cover, I used a medium close-up of a student which looked effective, my title also looked good on my front cover and I also think my colour scheme looked good. However i didnt include any other images other than the main image on the front cover so it looked quite plain. In my contents page, I think the fact that the word 'contents' was in the same font and colour as the magazine title looked effective, and I also liked that I put an image of the front cover at the bottom of the contents page. I dont think the contents page looked professional as i didnt include a big image of the main feature article, I just put lots of small images of other articles. I think I am confident using Adobe Photoshop as I have been using it for 3-4 years, however I dont think I used Quark Express confidently or effectively as I have never used it before.

I made it for me!
I was asked by a new customer just the other night, if I still get to create for ME.
I started thinking…and looking around the house, and I realized that I have been creating and keeping things quite a bit, recently. I Love that I get to create everyday, and the thought a giving a handmade gift is what hooked me on Stampin' Up! to start with.
If you haven't made something that was for you, in a while, I encourage you to just go play and remember the LOVE affair you have with stampin'.
Even thought I counted a TON of "for me" projects (my new purse, all the cute Halloween decor, my chalkboard….well most of these I create for a class, but kept them) I decided to make something just for me – yes it will turn into a class but that's what I love about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
CHECK THIS OUT – can you guess what it is?
OK, now that I have you drooling, I'll show you the whole thing!
It's a memo board, for ME!
It's already in my Kitchen so the pictures is not that great but I just couldn't move it from there hehehe!
I love mine so much, that I've decided to add it to the line up of Gifts you can pick from at the…..
Gift Buffet - Dec 3rd and 4th open from 10am –10pm both days.
My house will be open 10AM – 10PM on the 3rd and 4th for you to get all your Handmade Gifts done (or make something just for you) just in time for the Holidays to be in full swing. You pick what you want to make and when you want to come. I'll have everything ready for you to play!
Pictures and Prices to come over the next few days….you'll want to block out some time on the 3rd and 4th of Dec, to come play with me!
See you soon,
Check out my other classes listed under the tabs at the top of the blog and shoot me and email @ firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to join us for one!

Remodeling a home is exciting and rewarding. As a homeowner, you get to see your dreams come to life over just a few days or weeks. However, there are a few things to consider if you're thinking about remodeling. There's nothing like a solid beginning to make for a smooth finish when it comes to your remodeling project.
As with most things, a good remodeling plan leads to the best outcome. Every plan has three basic components: time, cost and quality. By establishing a timeline with your contractor, a budget with your spouse (if applicable) and documenting the features of your remodel, you can put together a pretty solid plan. Fortunately, there are many tools available to you for little or no cost to help you put your plan together.
Be sure to establish a priority order across the components of your plan. For example, is time more important than cost? Is quality (the features you want) more important than cost or is your budget the highest priority of all? Only you can decide which is of the primary importance, secondary importance and tertiary importance. Communicating your priorities to your contractor will help them implement your plan and deliver a satisfactory project.
One of the simplest and best tools is a sketch pad with a grid. Often called "graph paper", you can pick up one of these pads at virtually any big box retailer or office supply store. The grid, when combined with a ruler and a pencil, makes drawing out your floor plan relatively easy. It doesn't have to be perfect but even a simple sketch can help communicate your ideas to your contractor.
Pinterest is another free tool that makes collecting your design ideas easy. It also makes showing them to your interior designer and contractor very easy as well. If you have a laptop, smart phone or tablet of some sort, you can save your ideas on your Pinterest account and pull up the pictures when discussing your project. Pinterest is also a great place to find ideas for your project.
The more detail you include in your plan, the better. From things as significant as the floor plan to as insignificant as the pulls on drawers and doors, the devil is in the details. What may, on the surface, appear to be relatively insignificant may, in fact, turn out to have a major impact on your project's timeline or budget.
Speaking of interior designers, give some consideration to hiring one to help you with your plan and the project as a whole. A good interior designer should ask lots of questions, listen even more than they talk and come back with ideas that fit with your concept of the remodel. Many interior designers also have a network of contractors with whom they have worked on previous projects. They should be able to give you a list of reputable contractors to help jump-start your contractor selection. Although … finding a good interior designer can be just as difficult as finding a good contractor.
You'll also want a timeline as a part of your plan. This should be developed jointly with your contractor. As you develop your plan, remember that there are two types of plans: Those that have failed and those that may fail. This doesn't mean that you should avoid putting a plan together. It means that you should build some cushion and flexibility into your plan. Don't let your contractor give you the "just two more weeks" line, but also recognize that unexpected things can and do happen and that your plan should have contingencies in it to allow for these events. As with most things, the more detailed the questions, the more detailed the design and the more detailed – and unexpected event proof – the plan. (See the Contractors section for more on details.)
Once you have a plan in place, it's time to prepare.
First, prepare yourself mentally. Most kitchen and bathroom remodels take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Your kitchen or bathroom will be out of commission throughout most of this time and … yes, it's true … your house will be a little bit of a mess. If you're a "foodie" and you love your kitchen, think about how you will need to adapt while your kitchen is inaccessible. If you're remodeling a bathroom, give consideration to everyone's schedule so the members of your household can utilize the remaining bathroom(s) without causing an all-out family feud.
Now that you're mentally prepared, follow up on the functional preparations necessary to accommodate your family's needs during the remodel. Will you need a bathroom use schedule? If so, draw one up and let all of your family members have input. Will you need to eat out more, order in or cook meals in the microwave in another room? Gather up take-out menus, coupons for your favorite restaurants and make the necessary space preparations. Move the food in your cabinets, refrigerator and freezer to its temporary location. Remove the toiletries and supplies from the bathroom and store them in other bathrooms, linen closets or the like.
With a plan in place and your preparations made, contractor selection is the final critical element in ensuring a smooth remodel.
Let's start with the basics of contractor selection. A great way to find a great contractor is by talking to your friends, relatives and neighbors who've had similar work done on their homes. If you don't know anyone who has had remodeling work done recently, Angie's List and the Better Business Bureau are good places to start your search. Other online search engines and tools can also be helpful. Take a look at potential contractors' websites. If their site is well-designed and professional, it's a pretty good sign that they will also be professional. After you've found a few prospective contractors, check their credentials. Do they have liability and third-party loss insurance? Are they bonded? Are they licensed for the kind of work you plan to have done? How about their hiring practices? Do they conduct background checks and drug screens prior to hiring employees? Are their vehicles clean and in good repair? All of these factors tell a story about the contractor.
It should go without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway. Choose a contractor who is familiar with remodeling and, specifically, your type of remodel. There are remodelers and then there are contractors who occasionally "remodel" a room. Some contractors focus on kitchens and baths, others focus on new additions and still others focus on finishing basements. How do you know if your contractor is truly a remodeler? Ask them for references. Ask them for pictures of previous remodels. Pay attention to the questions they ask as they're putting together your bid. Are the questions detailed in nature or are they very general. Contractors who ask detailed questions will pay attention to the details of your project.
This leads me to the second consideration when choosing a contractor. Look for a contractor who will give you a fixed bid and document the scope of the project. Many contractors will provide an estimate based on generalities. Invariably, those estimates change. Other contractors will provide "allotments" or "allowances" for certain features or the remodel. If you know you can stay within the allowances, that's fine. If you aren't up to speed on the price of your materials and your contractor's labor costs … you might want to avoid the allowances route. A contractor who provides a fixed bid should discuss their policy for scope changes with you. That way you know how they handle changes to your project and the associated costs.
Purchasing your own materials, if you understand how to estimate the amount necessary, can be a way to save a little bit of money on most remodeling projects. However, most good-sized contractors will be able to purchase materials at a discount. While it's usually necessary for the contractor to mark up the materials to recoup their costs for purchasing and hauling them, you may only break even (or possibly end up spending more) in the long run if you're not very familiar with estimating the amount of material necessary for a particular job.
I mentioned the mess associated with most remodels earlier. Talk to your contractor about how they will minimize the mess and what they will do to clean up when they're done, both at the end of each day and at the end of the entire project. If you don't want your contractor to leave tools and supplies at your house during the project, it's only fair to let them know that at the outset. It takes time to break everything down at the end of every day and set it back up again the next.
Yes, a remodeling project is a lot of work. Yes, it will make a mess of your home and your life for a while. In the end, however, you'll enjoy the fruits of those labors for years to come and you'll increase the value of your home along the way.

Evelyn Waugh
The following excerpt from an article published in the November, 1962 Spectator by Evelyn Waugh is taken from "A Bitter Trial," which mainly concerns the correspondence between Waugh and Cardinal Heenan on the post- Vatican 2 changes to the liturgy:
"Awe is the natural predisposition to prayer. When young theologians talk, as they do, of Holy Communion as a "social meal" they find little response in the hearts and minds of their less sophisticated brothers.
No doubt there are certain clerical minds to whom the behaviour of the laity at Mass seems shockingly unregimented. . . . There is no apparent "togetherness". Only in heaven are we recognisable as the united body we are. It is easy to see why some clergy would like us to show more consciousness of one another, more evidence of taking part in a social "group activity". Ideally they are right but that is to presuppose a very much deeper spiritual life in private than most of us have achieved."
Elizabethan martyrs, pray for us.

When it comes to print-on-demand (POD) publishing without upfront costs, the only publisher I have worked with directly myself is Lulu. I didn't use any of their add-on publishing services but formatted and uploaded my own file and worked with their free cover creator tool. I haven't sold many copies of my book on their site, but I've had some copies printed and mailed to me, it's been a nice gift to share with friends. I've also sold copies here and there at readings and other events. It was completely free for me to publish my book on Lulu; I only paid for the individual copies of my book that I had printed.
I know a couple people who have used Blurb to self-publish POD books, and in both cases, it was for one of a kind photo books. Both friends didn't pay for additional help but did all the design and formatting work themselves.
The other POD option that I see mostly commonly used is CreateSpace (which is owned by Amazon), and I think this is for two main reasons: the ease of using Amazon's tools, and the big market share that Amazon maintains. Here is a great tutorial from Joel Friedlander about how to self-publish your book on CreateSpace.
When it comes to e-books, the biggest game in town is Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. I have published here, and it's relatively easy to format and upload your file. Here is the beginning of Amazon's tutorial about how to do it.
Smashwords is also a popular e-book platform that's free for authors to use, and they've posted an interesting article about why they don't recommend KDP and Kindle Unlimited. I have a book up on Smashwords that's free to download, courtesy of a small publisher called NAP.
The other three e-book platforms that come immediately to mind are Barnes & Noble's NOOK Press, iBooks Author (an app to publish books that can be read on the iPad), and Kobo's Writing Life.
If you need a clickable table of contents for your e-book, by all means read Richard Levesque's tutorial on how to format your table of contents. This helped me enormously!
You may also want to experiment with the templates on Canva.com to help you make free book covers for your e-books.
I find all of the freelance design help I need to publish my books on Fiverr.com. You can find all sorts of services on Fiverr, including help with formatting your book, proofreading, marketing, and more.
Kindlepreneur is a creative website for ideas on e-publishing, and here's an interesting post with ideas on how to get the best deal on Fiverr for book cover design.
The best cover designer I know is Sandra of tbwcovers.com. She used to make and sell book covers on Fiverr but expanded her business to create her own site. Her work is professional, high quality, and great looking. She is also an author herself and very helpful and understanding to work with.
If you want to offer books or other products for sale on your website, the blogger Leslie Samuel has an interesting article comparing payment processors PayPal, Gumroad, and Stripe.
The "Writer Beware" section on self-publishing on the Science Fiction Writers of America website gives a great overview of modes of self-publishing and how to avoid scams.
The reddit community on self-publishing is a good place to browse and read about other writers' experiences with self-publishing and to ask questions.
Jane Friedman is an editor, publisher, and teacher with some very interesting resources on her website.
If you're interested in the history of self-publishing, here's a timeline put together by Poets & Writers magazine.

A decade, ten years, 315 360 000 seconds and a cornucopia of colourful adventures, magnificently inspiratonal introductions, Champagne popping lightbulb moments - each with a bright tale of their own effervescence - and more stationary malfuncions than you could shake a Sharpie at. Our brand has blossomed and evolved, aquainting itself with a host of diverse industries and exceptional individuals. Now, at the first gas station on the highway to wherever the world of contemporary design and creative expression takes us, we are perusing the muticolour carnival of colour on the shelves and filling our glove box with rhubarb and custards, pink shrimps, salted caramel dark chocolate everything, and the finest bottled water to ever be branded as Scottish.
Edging ever closer to a decade behind the wheel of our zero gravity, intricately hand stitched, E-Type inspired mode of transport, the most valuable lesson learned has been the joy found in diversity and discovery. Embracing the innovative and the timeless, transforming challenges into skills most familiar, and staying true to our values as we go.
At this juncture, it struck as the perfect time to refurbish our exterior and inject our engines with all the newfangled nuggets of goodness required for the next leg, via a plethora of magnificent ports along the way. It is, therefore, with exceptional excitement, and technical wizardry in abundance in the hands of our skilled web developers, we are delighted to unveil our shiny new website.
Coming very soon will be the addition of the Iona Crawford Atelier aspect of our website where industry clients, brand partners and inquisitive souls alike can explore our project portfolio and find out more about the many diverse aspects of our design consultancy.
In the meantime, hop behind the controls and take our baby for a spin. We'd love to hear what you think.

Took a walk up Soil Hill on Saturday morning after
work hoping again to see the Snow Bunting but
absolutely nothing about apart from a lone Wren,
heard some tweeting on the Eastern side but nothing
showed itself, I then went down Taylor Lane where
Robin, Dunnock, Blackbird and another Wren were
seen, oh and a flyover by 3 Lapwing.
I then got a phone call and orders to go to the chippy
which I duly did and then went home only to be told
by Lisa ( wife ) that I should of gone with her to her
mates in Copley where she'd seen a GS Woodpecker,
Grey Wagtail, LLT's, and plenty of finches in her garden,
thanks for that Lisa it really cheered me up lol, oh well
at least I enjoyed my Fish & Chips.
Goldfinch and Robin were in my garden.

Imagine you won the lottery. What would you do with all that money? How would it change your life? I'm sure everyone has fantasized about this at some point in their life.
But imagine this – your RPG character suddenly wins the maximum possible amount of currency they can carry. What would change in the life of that character?
In a pen and paper game, this can be a fun situation for the GM and the player to work out – how they go about using that money to achieve outlandish things. In a video game, the answer is, in pretty much every situation, not much at all. Sure, the character can buy up the best equipment available in any store. If, that is, there was anything interesting to buy, and if the player didn't already own it, and if those expensive items were usable by a character of that level. But other than job-enabling equipment, what is there to buy? A house, sometimes. And that's about it.
It's an interesting disconnect, between the life-changing omnipotence of money in the real world, and its irrelevance in most RPG's.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….
The Rebel cell on Takobo is quietly celebrating their recent successful operation as Takoba City is never the wiser. The prototype stolen by Gumbrai, Fe Man, and BZ-55 is now being researched for use against the Empire. LT. Gewob Nobbs' suspicions were right in that the corporation who created the illegal prototype , TakTech Co., would not let this become public knowledge for fear of hurting its stockholders.
As Takeshi and Ja'han begin to learn from their new Jedi master, they are interrupted by LYTHARIEL's YT-1200 landing quickly. As the loading ramp is lowered, a medical team receives a Zabrak male. Once he recovers, he introduces himself as Felze. Another new face toTakobo, a Rodian named Bez has been hired to provide some extra skill in handling the task.
In the downtime, LT. Gewob has asked that you take the Zabrak and show him around. He needs you to see if you can pick up a part at the local market. The part is an Advanced Targeting Array…
Prior to the events…
Drifting in space just outside Hutt Space with the life support system dwindling and the transponder running, Felze's need for food overcomes him and he passes out. He is awoken by the loud noise of metal on metal as he sees his escape pod being picked up by a ship. He briefly believes that the pirates have found him but in his weak state, you accept your fate. A female human pilot introduces herself as Lythariel. Felze gives a laugh before passing out once again.
On Takobo, Master Aloff has been training Takeshi and Ja'han in the ways of the force. Ja'han continues to reach outward with the force, testing his limits and restraining himself from affecting others in negative ways. Takeshi looks inward to balance himself with the surrounding force.
A transport ship is received at a landing pad in the in the Takobo City spaceport. As the loading ramp hits the pad's surface, the passengers begin to flock out. A green Rodian with a slinged pack over his shoulder separates himself from the group. Looking around, he feels the warmth of the star's rays on his skin as he lets out a deep sigh. "Another planet…" he thinks to himself.
Gewob informs the group that he is after an uncommon item, an advanced targeting array. The group head out into Takobo city to find their item. While doing so, Takeshi attempts to find parts to build a lightsaber hilt but is unsuccessful. Bez almost gets in a fight with a merchant. Ja'han tries to talk down the merchant but he fails. Not wanting to attract further attention to themselves, the group carries on.
With the party failing to find what they are looking for, Felze manages to find Mubon, a Togrutan, he recognizes from his days as a pirate. As they briefly reconnect, he takes him aside and asks him if he knew where he could get an advanced targeting array. Mubon tells him he can get him a meeting with a Hutt but there's a catch: he's still a high ranking member in the Striped Nexu. After a conversation, Mubon had arranged a meeting for later that evening at a dance club owned by the Hutt called THE EDGE.
As the group split up, Takeshi and Ja'han went and consulted with Master Aloff, discussing how to handle what could be an upcoming mess. The Jedi told them to stay true to the force and to the disciplines they have been taught. The young apprentices would choose to later ignore this advice.
Bez and Felze decided to scout around and see what they could find out about the dance club as well as the Hutt. They discovered his name to be Hutt Druggoe, a major player in the Striped Nexu. With the constant turnover of the gang ranks, no one could really pinpoint where he would be. While they were asking around, word got out to the Hutt's men to keep an eye.
As the two neared the back entrance of the club, they attempted to break in to no success. While the two thought of what to do next, the door suddenly opened revealing two muscling Trandoshans. A short fight ensued but both Bez and Felze were captured and bound by net guns.
They were tossed into a room with no light. To their surprise, trandoshans had no stripped them of any of their equipment. They began to hear growling, hissing, and clawing on metal from the other side of the room, they decided to see if their comlinks were still working. Relaying their position to Ja'han and Takeshi, the two realized they now had a tougher task ahead of them.
The pair of apprentices reach the dance club in the early evening. A line outside the door has already formed. Ja'han makes his way to the front where he is greeted firmly by a Twi'Lek. After a back and forth about being on the guest list, the two are let in and told to check their weapons at the door.
In front of them in the dance floor with a DJ up on on a stage. To their right is the bar and the left is a raised VIP area with a stairway leading up to the second floor. The stairway has a protocol droid in front of it. Knowing they need to approach the Hutt, they begin to make their way towards the droid.
The droid asks for their names but does not recognize it against his internal list. The droid calls its master and seems frantic at what is internal comms system is saying. Informing the two to follow it, the droid leads them to a hallway where they are abruptly flanked by two Trandoshans.
The brutes force the two characters into the same dark room. Turning on the lights, Bez and Felze are briefly blinded while what reveals itself to be a pair of Nexu clamors its cage at the sudden change of environment. Ja'han, recognizing these henchman are not the brightest, goads one of them to charge at him. He misses his attack and gets clawed by getting too close to the Nexu cage. Bez wastes no time at all and eliminates both of them with a few shots of his blaster.
Takeshi picks up one of the blasters and releases the Nexu while the group hide in a supply room. As they hear screams of the kitchen staff getting slaughtered, one of the chefs finds his escape into the supply room they are hiding in. He is too panicked to say anything of value to them and the group decides they need to get out of there while they have the distraction.
Heading down another stairway, they stealthily try to sneak their way out. As the Nexu begin to rip into the crowd, the young Jedi are conflicted with guilt and leave behind the stage and out of the exit.

I'll be the first to admit that it is not always easy shopping for/with teenagers. Having not one, but three teens in the house, I have plenty of first-hand knowledge about the evils, oops, I meant challenges, of shopping for them and since I do have a little experience on the subject, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite tips for shopping with teens, with all of you!
First and foremost, feed them before you go shopping! I know that this seems like it should be just common sense, but you'd be surprised how many times I've told myself, "We'll just eat after shopping, it will be fine."...it was NOT fine, they are mean and nasty and even harder to deal with than normal. So feed them at all costs!
Second, let them shop at the stores they want to shop at! My girls love rue21, it's one of their favorite places to shop and when we can't make it into the store, we can just shop online (we just placed an order at the end of the month). Letting them shop at the stores they want to shop at, ensures an easy, almost drama-free (and if you have teens then you know that there's no such thing as 100% drama-free shopping) shopping experience!
Do not try to talk them out of buying the latest fashions. I don't care if the idea of high waisted denim shorts makes you want to bang your head against the wall, it doesn't matter if you'd never be caught dead in a high low skirt, let them decide what their style is and let them rock it! Trust me, if you give them the freedom to express their personality and individuality in their clothes, they'll thank you for it, it may be later (much, much later) but they will!
Set expectations regarding budget! If there's anything I've learned over the years when it comes to taking my kids shopping, it's that they need to know that there is a budget before you even step into the store! If a budget is never discussed, your child will start throwing everything from the "oh my goodness that shirt cost how much" section of the store into your cart (buggy) and then throw a level 5 temper tantrum (especially the teenage girls) when you tell them no. If you set real expectations up front about how much they can and cannot spend, it will make the shopping experience a whole lot less stressful on both of you!
Last but not least, have fun! I don't know about you, but I cherish any time that I have with my kids where we can just hang out and have fun and clothes shopping can definitely be one of those times! Don't let the thought of shopping with your teenager(s) be negative, go into the experience with a positive attitude and you'll be surprised at how much fun you have!

HAGERSTOWN - Last year, Sarah Miller was a "nobody" in the Washington County Association of Student Councils, she said.
This year, the senior at South Hagerstown High School gives a voice to more than 21,000 public school students at school board meetings.
Miller, the daughter of Marsha and Larry Miller, acts as the student representative to the Washington County Board of Education.
"It's an opportunity to make a difference and get voices heard," she said. "I hope they'll listen to me."
Representing the students turned out to be a lot more than she signed up for, Miller said. Before every meeting, she reviews the agendas so she understands what the board will discuss.
"I wish more students would come up to me. I'd have more to talk about," she said.
So far this year, students have complained the most about the new wellness policy, Miller said. High-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar foods and drinks no longer are sold at Washington County schools during school days under the new wellness policy.

Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:34 pm
<waves hello to everyone> I'm Karen, 40 from the UK. I survived a massive saddle clot in dec 08. I know I am incredibly lucky to be here as I almost left it too late. I already have a lung condition called alveolitis, this was caused by an allergy to parrots, luckily I was diagnosed and found new homes for my babies before too much damage was done. Anyway I was very stupid and started looking after a friends little bird, I thought well it's only tiny, won't do me any harm. I started reacting within 2 days of her being here. Usually steroids clear it up so I went to the emergency docs, he gave me a lecture about getting the bird out of the house but eventually prescribed the steroids. This was on saturday, by sunday I couldn't even walk down a flight of stairs. I spent most of the day in bed and monday I phoned my usual gp. He said he would come out and see me, meanwhile I phoned my husband to come from work and went to have a shower. I remember coming into the lounge after with the weirdest feeling in my chest. It was more than shortness of breath, my whole body started to tingle, my chest went tight and I was seriously light headed. I sat down and very calmly asked Darren to ring an ambulance, I said that I was sorry but I was going to die. I wasn't panicking, it was pretty surreal.
The paramedic turned up within 15 minutes and took my sats, my oxygen level was at 80% My gp also turned up and said he wanted me in hospital. I was put onto oxygen and duly loaded into the ambulance. I had to go via A&E, it was so busy and I was left in a corridor on my trolley. My oxygen ran out twice which was pretty damn scary. They ran the routine bloods which showed I was dehydrated but nothing else. The ecg showed a racing heart and I was given a large dose of steroids. We all still thought it was the bird allergy. I was sent to acute care for the night, I begged them not to send me home, I just knew I'd die if they did.
The following morning they seemed unsure what to do with me. I was transferred to infectious disease unit in case the parrot had something nasty. The consultant came round about 5pm and asked all kinds of questions. He said he would get me a ct scan just to be on the "safe side" I got my scan about 8 or 9 pm and within the hour they came to tell me I had a lung clot. I had hardly slept in 2 days and just wanted to get some sleep. I said and I quote "ok how do we get rid of it" the dr looked at me and said injections in the tummy for a start. They gave me my first jab and went off again, he returned about 30 minutes later and said they were transferring me to another hospital which specialised in this kind of thing. I later found out it's one of the best heart hospitals. I was so exhausted and didn't realise how serious it was, I begged to be sent the next day. He went to talk to his boss and said they were sending me as soon as an ambulance was available.
I got to Glenfield in the early hours and was told it was a saddle clot. He said they would be giving me the heparin injections but they wanted to do an echocardiogram. A lady came to do it and I saw her zone in on something and press her pager. The same guy came back in and she pointed at something at which point I said "it's bad isn't it" He said yes,my heart had enlarged on the right side and I was in danger of an attack, in his view probably fatal. He said if the clot moved it would probably be fatal too. He then told me that in his opinion they didn't have the time to give the heparin injections as my heart was under so much strain and the clot was so large it was almost blocking the entire blood supply to both lungs. I was then offered the option of being thrombolysed, I was told there was a 1 in 100 chance of it killing me but they were my best odds. He left me to think about it, I have never felt so lonely in my life. Another dr came in to take blood gases from my wrist (christ that hurt) he was lovely and talked to me as a person rather than a patient. He also came to check on me when I was sent to respiratory and no longer under his care. Anyway I saw it was really my only chance of survival, they phoned my husband and parents who all came to be with me. I thought they'd wait until morning to do it but they wanted to get started asap. I was surprised when it was just a drip going into my arm, I think I expected something that had the potential to kill me to be a bit more exciting. I had 3 white terrified faces watching as this stuff went into my body. I was oddly calm, it was only when I got a nosebleed that I started to fret but it soon stopped with an ice pack. Anyway I was in for 13 days from start to finish, I'm still struggling with it and have days where I'm back in that lonely place. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, just have to keep reminding myself how lucky I am.
I've had 1 lot of genetic tests, they wouldn't tell me the results over the phone apart from there was one which was positive. She mentioned factor V a couple of times but I won't know for definite until the end of may when I have my next appt. They have already got my sister in for full screening next week, they're not messing around :-/
Anyway love to all of you and I look forward to getting to know you.

Thanks Denis
Yup I am definitely one of the lucky ones. I've just been referred for some cognitive behaviour therapy as I keep reliving that night. I am extremely grateful to be alive but at the same time haunted by "what ifs" I try so hard to be positive but like all of us I get down times. I think the emotional aspect has been far more difficult than the physical. Thanks for the welcome

Here is to match your "wave"
Oh yes the emotional and physical roller coaster of this illness, it certainly takes a toll on people and a lot of it, is resulting of taking warfarin. All the "what do I have to do?" and "what I can't do?"
and "I have to do
We are expected to become professional know it all
overnight. It's a hard job, but somebody has to do it...
All this to say, that it does get better after a while.

I have been lucky with my INR, it's been stable almost since the start of warfarin so I must be doing something right. The only time it went ape was when I was on antibiotics for pneumonia. I think my lungs got a bum deal with me!
I think I almost qualify for a white coat and stethescope. When I was diagnosed with alveolitis none of my gp's knew anything about it. One freely admitted he was going on the internet to read up on it lol.

OK, what makes a clot a saddle clot, that is the first time I hear that term.
I'm still learning after 2 years...
If you don't mind me asking.

A saddle clot is where it sits on the join of the main artery. That's why it was so critical as it was blocking almost the entire blood supply to both lungs. I've only seen 1 other person on the forum who had one so not sure if they are less common. It obviously found it a confortable resting point, sure wasn't for me though <g>

Android Different Screen Sizes Support
Android powers hundreds of device types with several different screen sizes, ranging from small phones to large TV sets. Therefore, it's important that you design your application to be compatible with all screen sizes so it's available to as many users as possible.
But being compatible with different device types is not enough. Each screen size offers different possibilities and challenges for user interaction, so in order to truly satisfy and impress your users, your application must go beyond merely supporting multiple screens: it must optimize the user experience for each screen configuration.
Explicitly declare in the manifest which screen sizes your application supportsBy declaring which screen sizes your application supports, you can ensure that only devices with the screens you support can download your application. Declaring support for different screen sizes can also affect how the system draws your application on larger screens—specifically, whether your application runs in screen compatibility mode.
To declare the screen sizes your application supports, you should include the
<supports-screens>element in your manifest file.
Add following code in
.manifest file:
android:anyDensity="true" />
Provide different layouts for different screen sizesBy default, Android resizes your application layout to fit the current device screen. In most cases, this works fine. In other cases, your UI might not look as good and might need adjustments for different screen sizes. For example, on a larger screen, you might want to adjust the position and size of some elements to take advantage of the additional screen space, or on a smaller screen, you might need to adjust sizes so that everything can fit on the screen.
The configuration qualifiers you can use to provide size-specific resources are
large, and
xlarge. For example, layouts for an extra large screen should go in
Beginning with Android 3.2 (API level 13), the above size groups are deprecated and you should instead use the
sw<N>dpconfiguration qualifier to define the smallest available width required by your layout resources. For example, if your multi-pane tablet layout requires at least 600dp of screen width, you should place it in
layout-sw600dp/. Using the new techniques for declaring layout resources is discussed further in the section about Declaring Tablet Layouts for Android 3.2.
You need to create different layout for diff screen size. Support all screen you need to create following layout:
- Low density Small screens QVGA 240x320 (120dpi):
layout-small-ldpi (240x320) layout-small-land-ldpi (320x240)
- Low density Normal screens WVGA400 240x400 (x432) (120dpi):
layout-ldpi (240 x 400 ) layout-land-ldpi (400 x 240 )
- Medium density Normal screens HVGA 320x480 (160dpi):
layout-mdpi (320 x 480 ) layout-land-mdpi (480 x 320 )
- Medium density Large screens HVGA 320x480 (160dpi):
layout-large-mdpi (320 x 480 ) layout-large-land-mdpi (480 x 320)
- Galaxy Tab ( 240 dpi ):
layout-large (600 x 1024) layout-large-land (1024 x 600)
- High density Normal screens WVGA800 480x800 (x854) (240 dpi):
layout-hdpi (480 x 800) layout-land-hdpi (800 x 480)
- Xoom (medium density large but 1280x800 res) (160 dpi):
layout-xlarge (800 x 1280) layout-xlarge-land (1280 x 800)
Provide different bitmap drawables for different screen densitiesBy default, Android scales your bitmap drawables (
.jpg, and
.giffiles) and Nine-Patch drawables (
.9.pngfiles) so that they render at the appropriate physical size on each device. For example, if your application provides bitmap drawables only for the baseline, medium screen density (mdpi), then the system scales them up when on a high-density screen, and scales them down when on a low-density screen. This scaling can cause artifacts in the bitmaps. To ensure your bitmaps look their best, you should include alternative versions at different resolutions for different screen densities.
The configuration qualifiers you can use for density-specific resources are
hdpi(high), and
xhdpi(extra high). For example, bitmaps for high-density screens should go in
The size and density configuration qualifiers correspond to the generalized sizes and densities described in Range of screens supported, above.
Note: If you're not familiar with configuration qualifiers and how the system uses them to apply alternative resources, read Providing Alternative Resources for more information.At runtime, the system ensures the best possible display on the current screen with the following procedure for any given resource:
- The system uses the appropriate alternative resource Based on the size and density of the current screen, the system uses any size- and density-specific resource provided in your application. For example, if the device has a high-density screen and the application requests a drawable resource, the system looks for a drawable resource directory that best matches the device configuration. Depending on the other alternative resources available, a resource directory with the
hdpiqualifier (such as
drawable-hdpi/) might be the best match, so the system uses the drawable resource from this directory.
- If no matching resource is available, the system uses the default resource and scales it up or down as needed to match the current screen size and density The "default" resources are those that are not tagged with a configuration qualifier. For example, the resources in
drawable/are the default drawable resources. The system assumes that default resources are designed for the baseline screen size and density, which is a normal screen size and a medium density. As such, the system scales default density resources up for high-density screens and down for low-density screens, as appropriate.
|Screen characteristic
|Resources for small size screens.
|Resources for normal size screens. (This is the baseline size.)
|Resources for large size screens.
|Resources for extra large size screens.
|Resources for low-density (ldpi) screens (~120dpi).
|Resources for medium-density (mdpi) screens (~160dpi). (This is the baseline density.)
|Resources for high-density (hdpi) screens (~240dpi).
|Resources for extra high-density (xhdpi) screens (~320dpi).
|Resources for all densities. These are density-independent resources. The system does not scale resources tagged with this qualifier, regardless of the current screen's density.
|Resources for screens somewhere between mdpi and hdpi; approximately 213dpi. This is not considered a "primary" density group. It is mostly intended for televisions and most apps shouldn't need it—providing mdpi and hdpi resources is sufficient for most apps and the system will scale them as appropriate. If you find it necessary to provide tvdpi resources, you should size them at a factor of 1.33*mdpi. For example, a 100px x 100px image for mdpi screens should be 133px x 133px for tvdpi.
|Resources for screens in the landscape orientation (wide aspect ratio).
|Resources for screens in the portrait orientation (tall aspect ratio).
|Aspect ratio
|Resources for screens that have a significantly taller or wider aspect ratio (when in portrait or landscape orientation, respectively) than the baseline screen configuration.
|Resources for use screens that have an aspect ratio that is similar to the baseline screen configuration.
In addition to the traditional supports-screens parameters refer to the new Size Qualifiers launched in 3.2
The different resource configurations that you can specify based on the space available for your layout are summarized in table 2. These new qualifiers offer you more control over the specific screen sizes your application supports, compared to the traditional screen size groups (small, normal, large, and xlarge).
To help you target some of your designs for different types of devices, here are some numbers for typical screen widths
Using the size qualifiers from table 2, your application can switch between your different layout resources for handsets and tablets using any number you want for width and/or height. Here is an example from my own project where we were targets smallest device to large 10 inch tablets.
here is the screen Shoot of my own project structure.
res/layout-small/main_activity.xml # All small Screen less than 240x320
res/layout-sw320dp/main_activity.xml # a typical phone screen (240x320 ldpi, 320x480 mdpi, 480x800 hdpi, etc)
res/layout-sw480dp/main_activity.xml # a tweener tablet like the Streak (480x800 mdpi).
res/layout-sw600dp/main_activity.xml # a 7" tablet like Nuxes 7 etc (600x1024 mdpi) .
res/layout-sw720dp/main_activity.xml # a 10" tablet like Nuxes 10, Galaxy Tab 10 etc
(720x1280 mdpi, 800x1280 mdpi, etc).
Hope this tutorial will help you for multiple screen supports.
Happpppy Coddddding :)
