What is Motion Reference Units?
Motion reference units (MRU) determine the orientation of an object relative to an inertial frame of reference or another body. To control this data output, referred to as attitude, MRUs integrate sensors for orientation measurements, as well as actuators for applying torque to position an object to the desired attitude. Algorithms supply actuators with commands based on current and desired attitudes.
The SkyMEMS Motion Reference Units utilizes solid state 3-axes precision accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes and
to provide accurate Heave, Sway, Surge, Pitch and Roll of the device under measure.
Integration of very low noise gyroscopes output provides high frequency, real-time measurement of the Vessel, Ships, Helidecs, ROV, Marine antennas, Cranes rotation about all three rotational axes.

Original Post from: http://www.firehouse.com/article/12038368/overcoming-the-four-common-barriers-in-modern-fire-behavior-firefighter-training-education?utm_source=FH+Training+%26+Tactics&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS160614014
I have been very blessed to surround myself with others who share the same passion and have learned and will continue to learn a tremendous amount about the subject of modern fire behavior.
The biggest take away that I have found thus far is this: I have learned to keep an open mind and adapt concerning the subject of modern fire behavior. My previous education from antiquated training manuals (that provided a good foundation) has grown to my current education level due to such programs such as the "Kill the Flashover Project."
While learning, studying, and understanding the new information about how fire behaves, we must come to a common understanding as to why there is "push back" from within our ranks and offer solutions in order to correct them.
Below are what I often see are the four most common barriers to obtaining the coveted balance of science and tactics so we can be more successful in understanding why we continue to injure or kill ourselves needlessly.
Barrier 1 – NFPA 1403
It handcuffs firefighters on how we can burn certain materials to duplicate real world fire conditions and behaviors. Acquiring structures to perform live burns is becoming increasingly difficult, not to mention the liability for departments.
The solution – The NFPA has changed the fuel packages in response to complaints from fire service educators. Within the new standard is the ability to have more than one live fire within a structure to re-create flow paths. All of the safety features/protocols associated with acquired structures still stand.
Barrier #2 – Training Safety/Training Paralysis
In most fire academies the burn buildings are made of concrete with many safety features built in so the temperature doesn't allow for a realistic environment. Also, there are little to no furnishings, wall coverings, etc. to show signs of pyrolysis to warn firefighters as to an impending flashover due to increasing heat release rates.
The solution – Work together with local, county and state building departments to assist fire departments with acquiring structures and increase the level of understanding with all surrounding fire departments. Quality video, thermal imaging camera images, and thermal couplers would assist with "showing" the science and data while still in the learning environment.
These technological advances also provide an additional level of safety that could not be achieved in a standard training fire. By having these systems in place and establishing a technology branch, the incident commander can receive live real-time thermal data to insure that the firefighters are not exceeding their thermal protective performance (TPP).
Barrier #3 – Antiquated Tactics
The current recruit manuals are still teaching to over ventilate and open everything up. There is still a thought process of coordinated ventilation with a fire attack, but very little mention of anti-ventilation practices. A lot of the new tactics are very regional due to building construction and is limited to positive pressure ventilation (PPV) or vertical ventilation only.
The solution – Teaching and showing how a transitional attack is beneficial for all parties involved so our members can reduce the thermal insult placed upon us. Use science and the data to prove that reducing the temperature inside the compartments can actually increase our safety as well as the survivability profile of victims.
The transitional attack must become a staple in our arsenal if we are to succeed, especially with lower manpower and newer and more dangerous building construction. We must also understand that a transitional attack is an offensive tactic and is not a "one-size-fits-all" tactic that can be employed on all fires. The word "transition" should be understood as moving from one area to another not a stationary exterior position.
It implies a knockout punch followed by interior firefighting crews "transitioning" to the fire compartment to finish the job of extinguishment.
Barrier #4 – Tradition, Tradition, Tradition….
We used to feed horses back in the early days of firefighting. We have since stopped because the technology has allowed and demanded us to do so. I use the bag of oats analogy to explain and paint the picture for others. We need to help people understand that they shouldn't be the person left holding the bag after the fire service leaves them behind.
The solution – Make new traditions! The very definition of the word "tradition" is to continue a pattern of culture, beliefs or practices. We must strive to instill in the future of the fire service the best practices and culture of adaptability just as those before us taught us how to survive in their environment, we must teach others to improvise, adapt, and overcome future changes to ours.
In order for others to embrace the new traditions, we must instill a sense of ownership by teaching the next generation without disrespecting the current one.
"Part of what we need to do is celebrate what we did before and improve upon it."
-Alan V. Brunacini
In closing, as firefighters we have adapted, improvised, and overcame every obstacle or new change that has been added to our service arsenal throughout the history of the fire service. Our traditions of pride and service over self, brotherhood, and sacrifice will all live on, but our tools, tactics, and the environment we function in will continue to change.
Let us once again, step up and take the lead and show our citizens that they can put their trust in us. We will learn, adapt, and tackle our new environment. No barrier shall stand in the way of our service.
Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.

Driving rain and brisk winds on Prince Edward Island. Evening supper must concentrate on warm comfort. Now that asparagus are in season, there can be few things more comforting than asparagus risotto. HG never orders risotto in a restaurant. It always disappoints. Not surprising. Making proper risotto requires time (20 minutes or more) and concentration. In order to make a profit, restaurants have to resort to pre-cooking or other time saving procedures. Here's how HG/BSK collaborate on lush pot of risotto. BSK sliced half an onion paper thin. HG cooked the onion and toasted one cup of Italian Arborio rice in olive oil. Many recipes suggest adding white wine at this point and cooking until it evaporates. HG ignores this. Doesn't enhance the dish. HG adds hot chicken broth (one ladleful at a time) and stirs busily until it evaporates. The aim is to make the rice creamy but not mushy. This takes 20 minutes of adding broth (one and a half containers typically), stirring, stirring and stirring. Meanwhile, BSK cuts the asparagus into thirds and steams the vegetable. Now there is some important timing. (Misguided recipes call for cooking the asparagus with the rice and broth resulting in mushy asparagus). Just a few minutes before the rice is done and the asparagus is cooked but still crisp, the asparagus is added to the pot. When the rice hits the right note of creaminess, a big dollop of butter and plenty of grated parmigiana is stirred into the pot. At table, BSK grates some high quality parmigiana (from a fresh chunk) on each dish. Many grinds of black pepper. Red wine is poured. Goodbye, rainy day gloom.
§ 2 Responses to Rainy Day Comfort Cuisine"
I agree on all points risotto. It's a commitment. I'm sure you don't remember me but I worked at GF fresh out of Montclair State in Fair Isle sweaters and clogs (occasionally favor the sweaters but abandoned the clogs as age increased and agility waned). I learned a lot, including the merits of mortadella, learned oddly enough from my Jewish principal. I remember all quite fondly. I enjoy your blog and perspectives. Hope life has been treating you kindly. Please give my warmest regards to BSK who was always so kind to me. ~ JB

Xbox One sales have reached the 2 million mark in just 18 days, according to Microsoft, which equals the success of the PlayStation 4, making the winner of the console war as yet undetermined.
For those counting, Xbox One sales work out to a daily average of 111,111 consoles sold. At its peak, the Xbox One was ordered 1000 times per minute on Amazon.com. Over 83 million hours have been logged playing games, watching TV and using apps since its launch on November 22nd.
Microsoft's vice president of strategy and marketing, Yusuf Mehdi, reports that the Xbox One is sold out at the majority of retailers in the 13 markets in which it was released.
The numbers reported by Microsoft are similar to those of its main competitor, the Sony PlayStation 4, which sold 2.1 million consoles in roughly the same amount of time as the Xbox One, making the ultimate winner of this war unpredictable. The PlayStation 4 was released on November 15 in 32 markets. In dollars, its sales break down to at least 1.8 million dollars being spent on game consoles since the first launch three-and-a-half weeks ago.
The war of the consoles is likely to be decided by which manufacturer can make the systems and place them in warehouses and stores for purchase. Due to the high demand this holiday season, since November 15, eBay has sold more than 80,000 Xbox Ones and PlayStation 4's at considerably more than the manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $399 and $499 respectively.
It appears that both systems have had equal success in launching their products, and the high sales numbers are expected to remain until the end of the holiday season. The final winner of the contest will be which console manages to maintain sales once the hardcore gaming devotees have purchased their new units and the products are sold to the mass market.
According to analyst Colin Sebastian of R.W. Baird, sales of each are expected to top 3 million sold by the end of the year and a cumulative amount of 5 to 6 million sold by the end of the first quarter of 2014.
More than just a gaming console, Xbox One offers a television guide and highlights trending movies in Netflix, Amazon and other apps. Microsoft's vision of the system is of a family entertainment center that also offers music listening, photo viewing and Skype.
Although the title of first runner-up is still in question, the loser of the gaming console war appears to have already been decided. Nintendo's latest console, the Wii U is estimated to have sold only 150,000 systems in November, which represents a decline of 65 percent from last November.
Nintendo reported sales of 3.91 million at the end of October, which translated to less than 500,000 consoles sold between April 1 and October 1. The low sales have made the Wii U one of the least-sold gaming system during the last nine years.
Although Nintendo is standing by its projected sales number of 8.54 million systems sold by year end, analysts believe the goal will not be reachable without lowering the price of the gaming console once again. Currently, the Wii U sells for $300 and offers free games with the purchase of the system as part of three bundles available.
Whether Xbox One or the PlayStation 4, both with sales over 2 million to date, win the war, the ultimate victor will be game designers and code writers whose products will be in high demand by both manufacturers.

CEO of Rufftown records, and the manager of late dancehall artist, Ebony;Bullet has taken a damning swipe at multiple award-winning dancehall artiste Shatta Wale for calling him a fool.
The 'Ayoo' hitmaker took to Facebook and called Bullet a fool over speculations that he (Shatta Wale) is the artist who asked for payment to perform at Ebony's Tribute concert, despite Bullet having said on numerous platforms that it's not Wale who made such a demand.
In a telephone conversation on Peace 104.3FM's 'Entertainment Review,' show, monitored by Razzonline.com,Shatta Wale who said he was in America shooting a music video threw more shades at Bullet.
In response to Shatta Wale's comment, Bullet who was also in the studio,asked Ghanaians to pray for Shatta because he really needs prayers.
According to Bullet,he has already explained on different platforms that it wasn't Shatta Wale who demanded for the payment– so he just can't fathom why the 'dancehall Commando'hitmaker should still throw shades at him.
Razzonline.com brings you the interview in the exclusive video below!

July 2015 Dave Simon (0) McKinney, TX – July 7, 2015: The 3rd annual Dodge-For-A-Cause (DFAC) charity dodgeball tournament, presented by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas, TX, recently benefitted from a contribution made by the SRS Raise the Roof Foundation. The dodgeball tournament raised funds for Vogel Alcove, which helps infants, toddlers and preschoolers facing the trauma of homelessness. The SRS Raise the Roof Foundation contributed $2,500 to the event by serving as the Entryway Sponsor. In addition, several employees from SRS Distribution Inc. participated in the event as part of the "SRS Hail Stormers" team. While the "SRS Hail Stormers" narrowly missed out on a playoff spot in the tournament, the event was a huge success. "The SRS Raise the Roof Foundation supports a number of charities that benefit children," said John Davis, Vice President & General Counsel of SRS Distribution Inc. "We were happy to support Weil, Gotshal, & Manges LLP in their efforts to help the young children in the Dallas area through their support of Vogel Alcove." The tournament took place June 25 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, raising $53,500 for the cause. "Our employees had a great time competing on the floor of the American Airlines Center, and were pleased to be able to help others who are less fortunate. Part of the mission of the SRS Raise the Roof Foundation is to give back in the communities in which we operate in," Jim Hooper, Treasurer of the SRS Raise the Roof Foundation added.

In the Family Room, I wanted to use lime green and red. Since I didn't have anything in this color scheme, I used old red ornaments that were discolored from age and painted white polka dots and added glitter. The glitter helped cover up the imperfections. I bought lime green ornaments at hobby lobby for ½ off and painted red dots and glittered them. Then, I used left over ribbon to decorate the ornaments.
I painted $1 frames from Michael's red, lime and white, then added ribbon to them also. What do you think?

On my desktop PC my internet connection normally runs at about 8-10mps but at times slows down to less than 0.2mps and then drops out (a re-start sometimes works but not always and I have no connection - at the same time this happens my laptop is running at 10mps! According to Windows & Edimax (wireless adapter) the signal I am getting is excellent? Seems to me that some program is somehow interfering with internet explorer (version 9) after it has been running for a time. The problem occurs anytime whether download P2P or just surfing the net??
h g a
If it happens with P2P downloading too, it's nothing to do with your web browser since you don't normally use that for P2P transfers. Getting an "excellent" wireless signal is also not relevant to your internet speed so that means nothing as far as your problem is concerned.
I would install a reliable antvirus package and give your system a full scan.
already tried that use malwarebites & microsoft scanner
h g a
Big downloads (ie: p2p) will kill your bandwidth. So if you're doing that the next time it happens, try shutting off the p2p and see if that doesn't improve things.
Keep in mind that wireless is what it is, and compared to a wired connection, it sucks....this is regardless of signal strength. So next time this happens, try it with a wired connection and see if that doesn't make a difference.
Things you can try to improve your wireless:
- ensure router has most recent firmware
- ensure wireless network interface on computer/laptop has most recent drivers.
- stop using wireless (again, it sucks) and go with a wired connection.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
***William Henley***
I think you have missed the point - its not P2P (only used occasionally) its normal internet surfing - its not a wireless problem - tried wired - its no faster! As I said my laptop works fine at the SAME time as my PC is either stopped or running at 0.2 -0.5 mps.

With most of music industry's top acts absent — from Beyonce to Bruno Mars — the MTV Video Music Awards lacked star power and felt flat, and some of the winners turned heads — for the wrong reasons.

"I can't believe this is for me," Cabello said Monday onstage.

Told in a matter-of-fact style that veers between confessional and deadpan, and brought to life by reproductions of the photos that inspire the encounters, this is a kind of quiet exploration of the way a creative hobby draws you into new situations and predicaments. In the first and best story in this book, Jacksties snaps a picture of a construction worker working on adding new storeys to the Fox Head hotel in Niagra Falls. In the picture, the worker stands on a beam high above ground, the Falls spewing and spilling in the background. But the worker isn't wearing a safety belt, and when the pic is published in a local newspaper, the potentially mafia linked construction boss runs afoul of provincial regulations. As you can imagine, he isn't too pleased. In the longest story, Jacksties travels to Quebec City for the cheque.

Interspersed with stories of executions and the poems, murals and blood stains he finds there, the jail visit is as chilling as it is mundane, just another day in the life of the (amateur) photojournalism (Hal Niedzviecki)

By now, the @d:Tech event had started in San Francisco. Going thru' their Exhibitor Listing, seems pretty interesting & exciting. Missing you guy there on the Floor. But these kinda events, actually kindles a lot of exciting possibilities in the future of online & digital interactive advertising. If you are an interactive planner or marketer, move straight to their website to know more and feel the future !!
After a week & a half of battle, finally, i found the answer to open native applications from flash. This question was boiling me for days for a client. I found the answers from one of the unknown flash site. There are many tutorials about how to open a .pdf or .avi file in flash boards, but none of them has a tutorial for opening the native application itself, say Acrobat Reader or QuickTime Player.
The solution is like this.
There are 2 parts in this solution. 1. Non-flash Part 2.Flash Part. First, let's know the non-flash part. Windows Environment comes with a magic genie called ".bat" files. The famous example of a bat file is your autorun file. Now get into the code.
1. Open a notepad file
2. Type the following
@echo off - - - - - - - - - - - This turns off the ugly (?!) Dos window once it finished its work.
Start AcroRd32.exe - - - - - This is the code for the app. I used the file name as represented inside the Acrobat folder [AcroRd32.exe]
3. Save this file as "launcher.bat"
4. Put this inside the folder named "fscommand" [Flash MX] or in the same folder [Flash-5] where your swf resides.
Flash Part.
Write the following code in a button or MC
fscommand ("exec", "launcher.bat")
Wait and look for your Acrobat Reader opening.
Seems simple na....took a week to find out :-)
This article on Evolt brought a real smile in the face. This is the sum of all 6 years exp. in this industry. Damn good article to refer to if you are a interactive marketer. Click here

I did find a few days to visit blogs, which is nice. I'm also working hard with an author on the content editing end, which I love.
The weeks keep going quick with all we have going on. Friday's and Saturday's seem to be days lost in the wind anymore. But, it seems I'll have new running to do this week. Kiddo hurt his knee at the game Friday night. We don't know the results yet. We took him for an x-ray, as the doctor said there could be bone chips. But we are thinking that won't show anything when we go to an appointment Monday, and the doctor will next request an MRI to see more. We are hoping nothing big is wrong, just something easy to fix without surgery. But this is the hazards of the sports he plays.
Episode ?:
I need time to walk again. I have been downloading the episodes each week so I have them, but haven't had the opportunity to walk and listen.
Work reads as well.

Working to uncover the source of the fires, Nadira learns the brutal truth about the origin of the Guardians. The Guardian Elders have plans to make Nadira more powerful, and she may be forced to sever her psychic connection to Jonathan Keel.
When an unexpected ally gives Jonathan information about the Deshtu that connects them to the fires, he becomes a convenient scapegoat for the opposing factions. Nadira puts her life on the line to solve the crime, while the Elders make their move to remove Jonathan from her life forever.
As time runs out, the Guardians prepare for a clash with Novacorp that could plunge the planet into chaos, and a final betrayal forces Nadira to risk everything to save herself and Hathor.

Goodreads Synopsis:
She was created for a purpose so revolutionary, someone was willing to kill for it.
Seventeen-year-old Lexi Matthews keeps two secrets from her elite boarding school classmates—she's the daughter of a famous and controversial geneticist, and she can influence people's thoughts.
But after new student Jack DeWeese heals her broken arm with an anything-but-simple touch, he forces Lexi to face a new reality—her abilities reach much further than speaking to the minds of others.
After Lexi's father goes missing and she receives threatening emails, she can't decide whether to fall into Jack's arms or run and hide.
As Lexi seeks answers to what she and Jack are, she discovers a truth more unsettling than anything her science books can teach. And letting Jack into her life of secrets is not only a threat to her very existence, but it just might break her heart wide open.

"If science is right, then I am crazy. And crazy is dangerous."
In a world where nothing supernatural exists, Tess Eckhart is positive she's going crazy. After her complete freakout at a high school party, her parents worry she might be right. So much that they pack their bags and move across the country, next to a nationally-renowned facility for the mentally ill.
Tess is determined to fit in at her new school, despite the whispers and stares. But when it comes to Luka Williams, a reluctantly popular boy in her class, she's unused to a stare that intense. Then the headaches start, and the seemingly prophetic dreams that haunt her at night. As Tess tries harder to hide them, she becomes increasingly convinced that Luka knows something—that he might somehow be responsible.
But what if she's wrong? What if Luka Williams is the only thing separating her from a madness too terrifying to fathom?

Stefanie O'Connell has built a career out of being broke. Her website, thebrokeandbeautifullife.com, has amassed a huge following of performers, freelancers, and artists following big dreams on a small budget. From new approaches to thinking about money to saving on your monthly cable bill, The Broke and Beautiful Life provides actors the kind of practical advice that can sustain a long-term career in the arts. That advice also comes directly from real-life struggle.
"I focus on my experience," says O'Connell. "And because my experience is being an actor, I use that as a perspective. I think the actor's perspective kind of encapsulates what it means to live the dream on a limited budget." O'Connell started blogging after becoming frustrated with the challenges of living the artistic life in today's New York. There were plenty of resources and financial advice online, she realized, but actors tended to remain blissfully ignorant. The Broke and Beautiful Life was born in order to make such information accessible to artists in cities everywhere.
"I wanted to share that it is possible to make a change, and rather than using finances or budgets and seeing them as restricting you, they can actually open up a lot of doors if you use them to empower yourself," says O'Connell. Here are five pieces of advice every struggling actor can use to open those doors.
Do your financial research.
"I—like many—was a little bit disillusioned by the reality of the work consistency," says O'Connell. "Even on bigger and higher profile gigs, I found that the pay still left something to be desired. I didn't want to live my life constantly constricted by that. I wanted to have freedom both in my career and in my life to pursue the things that are important to me without being limited by actor income.
"To deal with that I decided to start really researching the best ways to make the little bit of money I did have from work, work for me to the best and highest degree." O'Connell's routine began to revolve around "how to maximize my limited income so I could have more freedom to do the things I want both in my career and in my personal life."
Be realistic.
"The first thing you need to do is get really grounded in what your financial reality is," O'Connell says, "because you can't work a dream in the long term if you're not grounded in financial reality."
Artists setting up a budget should use what O'Connell calls a "make-or-break number," the most basic cost of living in order to break even or make money. "So the first step for someone would be calculating what that cost of living is, reducing it as much as possible—either by getting roommates or living super cheaply, forgoing cable, things like that—and then getting a survival job while you're in the audition process that's going to more than cover that cost. What happens if you start out in a deficit is that deficit compounds itself and compounds itself."
Make long-term plans.
"What actors tend to do is they have this short-term mentality," says O'Connell. In her experience, her peers rely too much on the next contract to pay off any debt that has accumulated, which can be dangerous. "I think that's why people burn out," she says. "They're not setting themselves up for long-term success because they're not planning for their retirement when they're 20. They're really just focusing on getting to the next month. So rather than setting aside that money, that money goes to happy hour after rehearsal. And that's fine every so often! But you kind of have to budget in all the things: short term, long term, wants and needs. You have to be a bit more balanced if you want to be viable long term."
Develop specialized skills.
If she could go back in time and change one thing about her career, O'Connell would tell herself to develop a practical skill set. "When you're trying to make income on the side and all you have available to you is the same skills everyone else has, you're so limited. You can only babysit or wait tables or whatever. So because your skill set isn't specialized, you can't command a very high wage and you can't command a flexible schedule. Whereas if I were a web designer or if I were a carpenter or some kind of skill for my survival job that was specialized, I could demand more. I would be able to have my audition schedule work a lot easier around those things because people would be a lot more willing to work with me."
Connect with people in your community.
O'Connell admits point-blank that living in New York isn't cheap. "The great thing about New York is, while it's really expensive, there are so many resources here because it's such a big city. There's also a lot of programs to get things for free or for cheaply and there's a lot of people in the same boat as you who are also looking to reduce costs. So if you can team up with those kinds of people who know how to find deals who are also interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle, there's all these savings opportunities. It's about being aware and finding like-minded people, even if it is in an expensive city."
Many of those like-minded artists are following O'Connell's blog. Check it out, and start setting up that budget!

A guy strumming his guitar singing sweet and sensitive songs about love. Who could it be? Jason Mraz? John Mayer? Chris Isaak? Kris Allen? Ryan Adams? James Morrison? Let's face it, the possibilities are endless.
Now, let's add a qualifying adjective in there: an Asian-American guy strumming his guitar singing sweet and sensitive songs about love. Hmm. Narrows down the field quite a bit, wouldn't you say? Well, we can now add a fellow by the name of David Choi to the list at least. I don't know much about him except that he's Korean-American (fellow gyopo, yay), he's gotten some buzz on Youtube, and as a result, he's gotten several mentions on Korean entertainment programs, which is how I found him.
I looked him up on Youtube, curious, and I'm happy to report that the guy is GOOD! I've been listening to "Won't Even Start" everyday for the last week, and it's just a sweet, wistful song of restrained misery following a break-up. Trust me, I'm not saying it's good just because of some communal sense of Korean-American brotherhood. In fact, if David was terrible, I would actually be more likely to judge him harsher as a fellow Korean-American. It's because of something called the Black Sheep Effect, where a person perceives a fellow in-group member's negative actions even more negatively than members of other, unrelated groups, because the negative behavior also threatens the person's perception of himself and the group that he is a member of himself. It may sound confusing, but it's actually quite interesting, and for full disclosure, my Senior Project as an undergraduate psych major was on the Black Sheep Effect.
Anyhow, back to David. "Won't Even Start" is a great song, and I also love his cover of Britney Spears' "Womanizer." I hope you like it, too.

50 Cent is pleading with a bankruptcy judge to let him take control of his banking accounts so he can pay his utility bills…
TMZ: 50 Cent does not want to suffer in the dark … which is why he's asking a bankruptcy judge to keep the utility company from shutting down his massive unit.
50's in a corner … the bankruptcy judge has him in a straitjacket, prohibiting the mogul from paying even the most basic bills without court approval. He's asking for permission to pay his electric, gas, trash removal, cable, Internet and phone bills so he doesn't get shut down.
And this is interesting … between gas and electric, 50 drops an average of $10,597 a month. Remember, he has a 50,000 square foot mansion in Connecticut which he bought from Mike Tyson.

Energy Stream Therapy
experiencing consciousness
Pure divine consciousness can be experienced in its five qualities: bliss, peace, clarity, love and happiness. The up and downs of life made us create our own life story on top of these feelings. We are caught within our story and may have forgotten or are unable to access the pure qualities with their feelings of "lightness" and "effortlessness". The fine impulses of the Energy Stream Therapy help in a gentle way to feel and remember them and heal the wounds of life and beyond. Experiencing the qualities of consciousness enables us to understand the aspects of life so we can relax in our own story, find our inner balance, and grow to our full potential.
You have experiences of unconditional love from your mother, you may know the feeling of love to your partner or child…or you are searching for the "big love" in your life. Have you observed that this love is "depending": I love you as long as you…, I love you because I need you…, I love you because you provide the lifestyle I want… And as soon as the loved person doesn't fulfill your illusion the feeling of love quickly changes into other feelings.
Love expressed in the one of the Energy Streams qualities doesn't need another being to exist. It is not depending on any person or circumstances. It is within you, or better it is flowing through you. There is no need to add somebody or something. It is complete as it is.
The impulses of the Energy Stream Therapy makes you feel the complete Love and consciously or unconsciously understand that everything else is just an illusion and the "hunt" for depending love can cease. From this point you are able to meet a partner free of any "luggage", eye to eye and without any demand.

Not Happy
7 Night Western Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip)
Sail Date: March 21, 2014
Ship: Norwegian Pearl
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 8020
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Reviewed: 4 years ago
Review Summary
We waited a whole year for this cruise and when we finally got on the ship all we seen were unhappy faces. This was our 3rd cruise with Norwegian and probadly our last. The crew except for our cabin steward who always greeted us with a smile and the girl at the buffet spraying your hands everyone else was either rude or just plain acted like they had no desire in being on this ship. One of my charges was put on my newphew's bill so when he questioned it they not only gave him a copy of his bill but also of mine, never once asking for ID. They switched a charge from my brother in law's bill to mine again no ID. I never seen anything like this on a ship before and this was out 12th cruise no ID unheard of. So beware of your charges and privacy on your own because they are not going to. Like I said they just didn;t want to be there and really didn't care about the passengers . Thumbs down Norwegian.

CHADRON – A desire to do "something completely different" after completing a PhD in 18th Century British literature from Brandeis University brought Elisabeth Ellington to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Following five years of teaching at Red Cloud High School, Ellington, now a faculty member of the English and Humanities department at Chadron State College, decided to look for another line of work.
"I honestly wasn't expecting to stay in teaching at that point," said Ellington, who explained that years of advanced academic work hadn't prepared her for the challenges of classroom teaching. I went into teaching as I was taught, as though I had a whole class of English majors. I quickly realized that was not the case," she said.
Instead of leaving teaching completely, Ellington decided to accept a one-year position as a writing instructor in the CSC English department and the following year she seized the opportunity to join the department on a more permanent basis as a teacher of students who are learning to be English teachers themselves.
"I thought it would be my ideal job to work with pre-service teachers and help them be able to have more longevity than I was able to," Ellington said.
Since joining the CSC faculty, Ellington has been using insights gained from her own high school teaching experience, as well as resources shared by other teachers on blogs and social media sites, in her effort to find ways for newly minted elementary and secondary education teachers to engage students.
Ellington said she has learned things from secondary school teachers that carry over well to college courses, and not only for education majors.
"A lot of my classroom practices are things I have learned from elementary teachers," she said. "I think the most exciting and innovative things in education are actually happening in K-6 (classes) now."
Social media, such as Twitter and blogs, are among the tools many elementary and secondary school teachers are using successfully, according to Ellington.
"They will have a classroom Twitter account. Students will tweet about what they are learning and share what they are doing," she said.
Following the students' posts is a way of finding out how they are reacting to, and learning from, the instructional materials, Ellington added.
Many teachers are active on social media, where they share classroom experiences as well as links to articles on teaching.
"They are constantly sharing resources. They are basically curating the Internet," Ellington said. "They are sending pieces of research to me via Twitter."
Social media plays a big role in many of Ellington's classes. For instance, students may be required to post on Twitter and write a blog about their reading assignments.
Students may also be required to follow, and interact with, classmates on social media, which makes learning a collaborative experience, she said.
"What I find happens is when students are excited about what they are reading, they are wanting to tell everybody 'You have to read it too,'" Ellington said. "The students are the ones who are inspiring each other."
Students in education classes are also required to find other education-related websites or educators to follow on social media, a practice Ellington uses herself to keep abreast of developments in the field.
"One of the primary ways I keep up with my field is Twitter and blogs and social media," she said. "You reach out to other people as way to build your personal learning network, so (students) have not only those in the class, but it's bigger."
Ellington said her teaching strategy has changed in the time she has been at CSC.
"The biggest way my teaching has shifted over eight years is from a requirement to an invitation," she said.
As an example she cited an adolescent literature course for education majors which has no required reading list.
"There is a time requirement. You are required to spend four hours a week reading the adolescent literature of your choice," Ellington said. "I'm constantly sharing things I think they should read, but it's an invitation."
A similar philosophy carries over to Essential Studies courses, which now make up about half of Ellington's work load.
"What I'm trying to do in all my classes is have students discovering. I don't want to be in control of what they are going to learn. I want them to be surprised and I want to be surprised too," she said.
That attitude works particularly well for Capstone courses, which Ellington said she views as an overall journey in learning for the semester. In those classes, Ellington has adopted an idea gleaned from a seventh grade teacher and blogger, and has students create a short Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) Talk instead of taking a final exam.
"The Capstone course is a creative mind course, so they share an idea they have discovered and how they did that," she said.
Not all students welcome the heavy use of social media in class, especially at first, Ellington admitted.
"At the beginning of the semester the response ranges from enthusiasm to hostility," she said. "I have to do a lot of cheerleading at the beginning of the class, but after a few weeks it's completely shifted. Once students see how much there is to learn from these platforms, they are much more open to it."
And Ellington said she has seen her methods carry over into the work lives of students who have become teachers.
"I've noticed that several students who have graduated are continuing to blog," she said. "That becomes a resource I can use in my courses for pre-service teachers."
Ellington primarily uses Twitter and blogs in classes now, but said that she could include other services, such as Instagram and Snapchat in the future, if it seems appropriate.
"I'm an inveterate tinkerer with my classes. I don't ever like to teach a class the same way twice. I'm not learning if I do," she said.
But whatever developments take place in social media use, Ellington has an ultimate goal for all of her classes-providing students with the means and desire to keep learning throughout their lives.
"It's about creating certain environments that will lead to wonder and curiosity and play and exploration," she said.

Rhae pays Mrs. Irma a visit. This is Steel Magnolias sad.. but such an important development for Rhae. Love my readers, and I hope you love this bonus scene.
Fall is ready to give way to winter, and I'm ready to move on from this life. Maybe one of the things I'll do is visit Alaska or take a trip to Canada. Somewhere really cold. Somewhere I can test what it might be like to live in an area that is the polar opposite of North Mississippi.
When I get home, I air out the house by letting in some of the cooler fall air. After cleaning house, and reading for a while, it hits me. If Cade isn't calling me, has he abandoned Irma? Mama raised me better than this. I might have missed the funeral during all this mess, but I don't need to forsake Irma.
I pick my best house plant and dig for some ribbon in my desk drawer. All I can find is some green with white polka dots. "It's the thought, right?" I ask of no one. Or maybe somewhere I think I'm asking Mama.
I tie the ribbon on the plant and go for a walk down to Irma's house. I'm not surprised to find the sweet little lady swinging on her porch swing. Stopping at the foot of the porch steps, I look up to her.
"May I?" I ask.
"Of course, baby. Cade runnin' off don't mean you ain't welcome." She smiles and waves me up.
"I'm sorry I've stayed away so long. I wanted to be here." I say, almost ashamed as I hug her neck. I set the plant on the railing of the porch.
"Nonsense! I had enough to deal with anyway. All those casseroles. Why do these women think I need to be fed because my husband died?"
I laugh so hard I have tears in my eyes. "Oh, Mrs. Irma! I know exactly what you mean. We had this discussion back when Ryan died. I'll never understand it."
Irma pats my knee, "Hell, some of them ain't the sharpest tools in the shed, but they mean well. Where you been anyway?"
Sighing, I answer, "I quit my job today."
"What? What are you going to do to pay bills?"
"Ryan left me some money. I'm going to use it to travel and change my life. You know, be on my own for a while. I think that's part of Cade's reason for disappearing. I don't know if you know, but I was with Ryan since I was a teenager. He was my first boyfriend. My first kiss.
My first… everything."
"Sex, honey. Use grown-up words around me."
"Yes, ma'am. I have always lived with my parents, or Ryan. I haven't ever been on my own. Something tells me that this is the key. So, I'm going to use the money to find my feet. I'm also selling the house." I can't look at her.
Memories of everything that happened from the day we bought it until now flash through my mind. It wasn't all bad. There wasn't much bad at all, really. Actually, there are really great memories there. The few sad memories are related to our inability to have children. There were a grand total of two pregnancies during our years together. Each ended in miscarriage. It took me months to get over the wasteland of emotions afterward. Finally, I told Ryan I didn't want to be a mother anyway. Logically, it didn't make sense for me to keep trying and hurting myself that way.
Irma keeps the swing moving, much the way Cade did the first night we met. If she noticed my mental absence, she didn't mention it. After a while, she reached over and held my hand. I love the softness of her thin, wrinkly skin. It immediately reminds me of my Granny and Mama.
Blinking tears from my eyes, I turn to look at Irma's profile. She's smiling and staring into the distance as if she can see hundreds of miles away.
"Don't give up, Rhae. Your story's not over yet," she says softly.
"I know. It's just so hard," I start sobbing. "Sometimes… sometimes, I just wish it was over. That there wasn't some puzzle to solve, but just peace. Like I want to go to sleep and not wake up. When Cade was here, I felt lighter, like I wanted to keep fighting. Now, I… I can't, I don't… God, I don't know anymore. When he quit calling, something else shattered. I don't know how much more of this I can handle. Look at me Mrs. Irma. I'm a crying, snotting mess. I never cry. Never have been an emotional person."
"Keep fighting, baby. Don't stop fighting for your life. Fight for the peace your Mama's and Ryan's souls need. Solve this for everyone in your life. Find happiness for you and Cade. He has as many cracks and breaks as you do," she stops and swallows. I notice she's crying and then she turns to look me square in the eye. "When you see him again, you hug him so tight that all the broken pieces between you stick together. Hold each other up. Get through this together."
I hug her hard enough to see if she can help stick my pieces together right now. She hugs me just as hard. Pulling back, I wipe the tears from my cheeks, nod and stand to leave. Some time later I wander up the steps to my house. I pour myself numerous drinks. All of which I drink sitting at the kitchen table and staring out the front window. A part of me is willing Cade to walk up the driveway. It doesn't happen and I run out of booze before long. Carefully pulling myself along the walls, and using the furniture for balance, I manage to lock the front door and head to bed.
Something in me is so desperate for the comfort and assurance of Cade, that I text him.
"I know you're broken. I am too. Maybe one day we won't be."
I fall asleep waiting for a response that never comes.

An immigration law colleague asked me to comment on his paper about privacy rights in the immigration context. As I read his paper, in which he argued that the traditional "border" for immigration enforcement purposes has shifted, several thoughts came to mind about two seismic shifts in American political and legal culture that conspire to increase government surveillance power and decrease individual privacy rights.
First, certainly the advancement of technology such as GPS, digital tracking etc. makes surveillance possible, easier, and more invasive. But the spread of surveillance techniques has been also due to public acquiesce to it or at the very least, a lack of resistance. The rise of technological innovation paralleled the largest expansion of government power since FDR and the New Deal. The 9/11 attacks precipitated the second largest expansion of national (and really specifically Executive power) since the 1930s. Even the federal courts have been diffident and complicit in this Executive power grab. As the Executive branch repeatedly throws down the national security trump card, the federal courts seem to weigh in only when there is a particularly egregious due process violation. The public also seems willing to endure rollback of individual rights and privacy "to make us all safer."
Second, as Executive power has expanded, there is also a generational shift underway on a growing tolerance of
invasions of privacy because of the rise of social media. The generation of students I teach now (undergraduates born in the early 1990s) are the
Facebook/Twitter generation in which many previously private thought is now
shared to the public. It is
actually tricky to teach privacy to my undergrads because they don't understand
what all the fuss is about. Their
thinking is, "I have nothing to hide.
I'm not doing anything bad, the government can watch me all they
want." The mentality about privacy
these days among the younger generation is very nonchalant; their threshold for
surveillance, I would argue, is very high because of the ubiquitousness of what they view as benign social
media in their lives.
I actually have to push them and ask why they have drapes or curtains in their homes and why they don't leave the doors wide open when they use the restroom, or allow an installation of a webcam in their bedroom, if indeed they have "nothing to hide." Only then do they realize privacy is also about, "I really have nothing to hide, but it's also none of your business" and that they wouldn't want Peeping Toms watching them.
Given these shifts in legal and political culture, how do those who still value privacy and want to reign in state power accomplish their goals? Is law and the Fourth Amendment on unreasonable search and seizure even a sufficient tool for checking government surveillance in the face of these social forces? I don't have a good answer for either question.

Many of the friends I've met in ex-fundy groups on the internet have ended up as either unbelievers or at least agnostic. I'm not about the percentages though. It seems like a lot but perhaps those instances just stick out at me more in contrast to those who remain in the faith.
Honestly, I'm hoping that it's not a majority because it would seem to lend credence to the fundy teaching about the "slippery slope," that once you start questioning, you end up giving up everything; all or nothing; culottes and the KJV or else atheism. I do believe (but it would be nice to be substantiated) that one can give up fundamentalism (or even conservative evangelism) without giving up belief in
I think one definitely can. Many people move from fundamentalism into broader evangelicalism, at least, and never seem to feel the need to push further.
I wonder what the difference is.

The other day my best friend and co-Cozy Girl and I were talking, laughing, and stylizing a few decorating and tablescaping posts. Amber says to me, "isn't it funny how, when you're involved in a project, just to be nice as a favor to someone, that it comes back to you as something beautiful? Like when we painted all this furniture, who knew that in the future, we would be photographing it, for our businesses?!
I came back to this conversation this morning as I was reading through some old posts on a design blog I started years ago, but was too busy to really do much with it.{Not that I'm not busy now, holy cow-but I'm busy...bahahahaha!!!...sometimes I feel lonely for the thought of a slow lazy day.. ahh} It says, "Pull up a chair and get cozy, comfort is the ultimate compliment..."
As you know I'm an interior designer, and whether I'm designing for residential clients or commercial spaces, my goal is always the comfort of the client and their guests. If someone feels comfortable enough to take off their shoes, push their feet into the cushions of a sofa, grab a throw, with the intention of staying for awhile, I've successfully done my part.{Smiling really big}
So when thinking about that conversation and coming across that past post, I realized that for as long as I can remember, I've been using the word cozy in my life. My 4 year old daughter says, "Mommy can I hold ja, and get cozy?" Which translates to adult language, "Can you hold me, I need to get close and warm".
Amber and I are known by our friends and family for making daily things and events extra special, just by going the extra mile on a few tiny details. It doesn't take but a few extra moments and tender loving care to make things feel cozy and intimate. Even when planning a large wedding event, my goal is beauty, intimacy, and comfort.
This all got me to thinking. Sometimes cozy is a foreign word. So we've decided, as the Cozy Cottage Girls, that it's our job to teach it!
Hi we're the Cozy Cottage Girls and we are COZY addicts! We take simple and monotonous, to simply beautiful and inspiring...some haters might say we're just crazy over achievers, but the truth is we live this way.
At the the close of each day, if I were to ask, both Amber and I could look back on our hectic day and think, there were a few, or several beautiful, cozy, reflective moments....When you are feeling tired, stressed, over whelmed and under-vacationed, we would like you to think of us and ask? What would the Cozy Cottage Girls do?
Every Friday we will post beautiful cozy themed posts, with pictures and tips on cozy-fying your life!
We would LOVE it if you would sign up to follow our feed {here} so that when you return, you would know it was your cozy time-out for that moment. To learn and embrace the cozy quiet moments that come, whether you prepare simply or extravagantly, or to just BE...
Fall mornings are made in cozy moments,
like early morning fog...
a warm frothy mug in hand,
with yummy cinnamon and pumpkin themed breakfast morsels to nibble upon.
Focus on the fuzzy puffs of air
as you take a meandering walk in the brisk
morning breeze
or take a nice long drive and ponder the things you are grateful for as you take
in the beautiful scenery.
Explore the wonder of the changing of the seasons.
Bathe in steamy hot water out of doors, while taking in the smells of the season
Pull on those favorite comfy knit socks,
sweaters, and tall boots
you've been dreaming of wearing again,
and cozy up to the fire with a thick
wool blanket or two,
these moments won't last forever,
but you'll be glad you did.
Let fall wash over you and carry your burdens away...
We will be Pinning Everything we Post for our Cozy Fridays {Here}. We would love it if you would follow our cozy board!
We would also Love for you to join us on our other Pinterest Boards!
