As I try to help players progress in their poker game, one of the biggest mistakes I see is in hand choices. Often times, players choose hand that at a glance seem like hands with good potential, when in reality they are setting themselves up for failure. Today I will try to explain the finer points of choosing a good hand and show you some of the common errors that people make. Pay attention, because this information may come has a huge shock to you.Suited Doesn't Mean GoodA lot of players I see will often play a hand simply because their cards are suited. While it is true that suited cards improve the odds of a hand, this doesn't mean a suited hand always has good odds. Make sure your cards are connectors (can be used together in a straight) and that your lowest card isn't below 10.Pocket PairsPocket pairs can be a very dangerous thing for new players. While having a pocket pair does give you better odds before the flop, your odds will generally make a significant drop after the flop. Even pocket aces can be a bad hand to get. Consider this situation. You get pocket aces and raise the blinds. The flop is k 8 6. You're feeling confident at this point right? So you make a bet equal to the pot and get one player to call. Now the turn comes and it is a king. So now you can be beaten by many hands, while the only two cards in the deck that will help you are the two remaining aces, which probably aren't even in the deck anymore. Think about that for a minute.My Favorite HandsSo what do you want to look for in a hand? Well you want to keep your cards high. An ace and a six isn't a good hand, while an ace and a queen is a good hand. If your hand meets that criteria and is also suited, the hand is even better. The next thing to look for is connectors, or cards that can be used a straight together. An example of this would be an ace and a king. Many people say that ace king suited is the best hand you can get. I say it is the second best. My favorite hand is king queen suited. This opens up a straight at both ends. Also, A2, A3, A4, and A5 can be good hands because they are connectors.I hope you take these tips to heart. I generally follow these rules for every hand and every situation. However, occasionally you get a gut feeling and decide to play. I am in full support of gut feeling bets, as long as they make up about 5% of your bets. Remember to stray away from pocket pairs because these usually with a lot of money invested and no outs.
Online Games – Can We Make Money Playing Them?
When we refer to online games we are normally referring to video type games that we play on a computer via the internet. Some video games are played over the internet using mobile phones and video consoles, but generally speaking online games means computer games that need an internet connection to be played. Simple text-based multiplayer games were the first of these types of games as internet connections were slow and expensive when these games were first introduced in the 1980s. Gradually these games became popular in the 1990s, with today's online games featuring virtual communities, realistic graphics and multiplayer games where people can even play one to one or in knock out tournaments for cash prizes. We all know that the internet is the fastest growing market place in the history of the world but did you know that there is an online games sector that is growing 4 times faster than the internet overall! Yes! and it's the "Online Skill Games" market.There are many styles of Online GamesSome of the different types of online games that exist:1. Real time strategy games: This type of game is all about strategy where, for your army to fight successfully against the other internet players you need to develop a game plan by building lots of resources2. First person shooter: Here the players compete with each other one to one. In most first-person type games, the online game allows the death match or arena style of play. In this style of game play the view you see is the one seen from your character's eyes.3. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG): In this type of game each person has to keep trying to reach the next highest level until he has reached the top one written for that game and these online games can have, simultaneously, thousands of players from every part of the globe, playing in a giant virtual world interacting against or with each other. Gamers can keep playing these types of games for months or even years!4. Browser type games: These are pastime games that are quick, simple and small that are played in your browser. The popular Java and Shockwave technologies are used to develop these games.5. Online skill games: An online skill based game is a web game played in tournament format or one to one. Each player pays a cash entry fee to play with a cash or merchandise prize going to the winner or winners. The outcome of each competition is based on the player's ability and performance not luck.How Do Online Game Companies Make MoneyAll games today, are playable online. How do we make money? This is the question that companies making the online games have to ask themselves. The majority of companies make single-player games that are played at home and in this the player has to beat the artificial intelligence of the enemy. Today these games normally include an online multiplayer version which can be played against or with other Internet players. By selling their game DVD/CDs is how these companies earn their profit e.g. Warcraft 3 and Counter Strike. Advertising and promotions is how browser game companies make their money. MMORPG companies generally charge their players a monthly fee and continue to add content by programming new scenarios etc in their games e.g. Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft. Some don't, but survive because their DVD/CD sales are high e.g. Guild Wars.What is the future of online games?Soon there will be a new entry into the online skill games market. According to their Free Online Games Market Report they will be the first company with their new online skill games platform, to launch a business that encapsulates three of the newest phenomena on the internet today. Online Games Entertainment, Social Networking using web 2.0 and a new way of marketing which has been described as Social Marketing 2.0. One of the core differences with this new platform over the conventional models is that we the players can if we want share in the profits while we play our games. With the market today (2007) worth approximately $5.2 billion USD and predicted to rise in the next 3 years to over $13 billion USD that's $412 per second and with social networking sites already reaching 45% of web users and the 4 major Instant Messengers having more than 400 million users between them this potentially could be a whole lot of money.

Living Accents Gazebo Ace Hardware - Among our chief concerns aside from price is lastingness when buying automobiles. Will this car last more than my previous one? That's a standard question every automobile buyer would inquire. Exactly the same thing goes with a homeowner who's likely to put in a gazebo in his residence. Today, mobile and pop-up gazebos are very popular. The key reason they're preferred by many homeowners is due to very low cost and their portability.
A metal gazebo, on the flip side, would last for many years. It's an all-weather gazebo that could withstand significant rain, extreme summer heat and snowfall, and strong winds. The fact is that metal cannot not continue more than wood, although there is no question that wooden gazebos would continue long.
Wood, if not handled properly, is susceptible to termites and wood rot. However, a gazebo made of metal has a greater price tag compared with routine structures. But the cost is really worth it. You will actually save more with it, although you might spend more initially with a metal one. Why? Since you will never have to purchase a replacement if you have a metal gazebo.
A metal gazebo is also a distinctive strategy to supply an elegant appearance to your lawn or garden. Conventional gazebos are square-shaped structures. Metal shelters, however, are obtainable in layouts that are exceptional and several shapes. Metal is tough and strong, but nevertheless, it can be molded to just about any shape that is desirable. There are metal gazebos formed like bells. There are several that have roofs which resemble domes. With a metal gazebo, you can surely endow your lawn with a unique and appealing appearance.

Double Take layout
We were given 4 sketches and then May & Nic each showed us their interpretation of the sketch so we essentially got 8 layouts of inspiration! And what's not to love about layouts where you can scrap 9 photos at once! Others sketches had space for 5-7 photos.
Also had time to actual put one of my Memory Files together from my Art of Observation class. Have been playing around with this but needed a few more supplies.I'm glad I waited - I'm really happy with how its turning out. Hope to have it done soon to show you.
I'll be using several of the files for photos, etc for trip to California in September.
Weather is beautiful here today - I've found some time to be outside but enjoying the leftover creative "buzz" from last weekend's Creative Crop and iNSD. What are you working on?

Its the annual procedure for religious Russians. On the day the Orthodox believe, that Jesus received his epiphany, thousands gather at rivers and lakes near churches to take a plunge into the cold water. Despite of the icey temperatures, they have to put their head 3 times completely under the water. Religious people believe that they cannot get ill after this procdure and furthermore, its strengthening their immune system.

Some 50,000 people took part in Epiphany bathing in Moscow.
The Epiphany is a Christian holiday that celebrates Christ's baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, and the revelation of His Divine nature.According to ancient legend, on Epiphany – also known as the Manifestation of the Divinity of Our Lord – all water is believed to be endowed with holy and healing properties. It is believed that by taking a dip in it, people are freed from sin.

Welcome to the next installment of "The Winds of War" live blogging from Sean Munger. Things are heating up in as Natalie and Byron are stuck in Poland. Read on to find out what happens and see what wine Sean pairs with this section of the book. Grab your book and glass and step in to the World War II era through the eyes of Herman Wouk.
Welcome back to my "live-blog" of one of my favorite historical novels, Herman Wouk's 1971 opus The Winds of War. This is part of my "Literary Summer" enterprise where I'm bringing you lots of stuff on great books for summer reading, and some wine suggestions to go with them. With the exception of the rather middling Auslese I selected for myself and reviewed in the last segment, all the wine suggestions come from Michelle Williams of the RockinRed Blog, one of the finest wine blogs you'll see anywhere. Though as you'll see tonight there's a bit of a wrinkle, and a helpful exigency has tweaked tonight's wine selection. So, if you're ready to travel back in time to the World War II era, let's get started.
In the last installment, I ended in August 1939 just as war was brewing over Poland and Natalie and Byron were…

After a summer of light frocks our thoughts always turn with excitement to cozy Fall clothes. A perfect Fall piece is this Chanel haute couture winter-weight tweed dress with matching scarf. It was featured in the 1978 ad campaign and is right on trend for Fall's seventies-inspired looks. The tweed dress is one of Coco Chanel's classic contributions to fashion and this slim fitting 1978 piece is high glamour. It is always important to see an haute couture piece close up. The intimate details such as lining which can you see in the photograph with mannequin tape are incredible. We also love the glossy black buttons with the gilt CC. How gorgeous would it look with a great pair of booties?!

It still amazes me at how Nazem Kadri has blossomed this season. Even as a die-hard Leaf supporter, I'm waiting for the bubble to burst, he can't be THIS good, can he?
Being a Maple Leaf in the top 10 of NHL scoring is one thing, but not as rare as one may think, Kessel did it just last year and Sundin and Gilmour finished top 10 twice each. OK, that's it since the 1970's so maybe it is pretty rare. Now the fact that Kadri is 22 years old while being a top 10 scorer...THAT is a rarity for Toronto.
The last time the Maple Leafs had a player 22 or younger finish in the top 10 of NHL scoring was 66 years ago, in 1946/47 when 21 year-old "Teeder" Ted Kennedy finished in third place.
Darryl Sittler came the closest most 'recently' when he placed 8th in scoring in 1973/74 at age 23, and before that it was The Big 'M' Frank Mahovlich finishing 3rd in 1960/61 at age 23.
Below is the list of all the times Toronto has had a player 22 years-old or younger in the top 10 of NHL scoring.
Ted Kennedy, 46/47 3rd (21)
Ted Kennedy, 44/45 5th (19)
Gus Bodnar, 43/44 10th (20)
Syl Apps, 36/37 2nd (22)
Busher Jackson, 32/33 2nd (22)
Busher Jackson, 31/32 1st (21)
Charlie Conacher, 31/32 4th (22)
Charlie Conacher, 30/31 3rd (21)
Andy Blair, 30/31 3rd (22)

Xe-doms (Japanese: ゼ=ラア, Ze-raa) are machine enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are Miran drones utilized by the Ganglion for security. They appear as huge hovering creatures made of a strange metal, with glowing lines around their bodies and a single glowing eye in the center. They can be found either patrolling or half-submerged in the ground. Often they will only be aggressive toward Skells. Xe-doms appear in all regions, but are rare outside of Sylvalum and Cauldros.
Xe-doms are not affected by adverse weather.
"Enigmatic, pilotless crafts exhumed from the Miran soil. They come in a variety of sizes, and are constructed from some kind of living metal that not even Ganglion technology can replicate. But while the particulars of the xe-dom manufacturing process remain shrouded in mystery, a lucky research mistake unlocked the secret of controlling the units."
"Their exceptional combat skills—including the ability to manipulate gravity in the surrounding area, useful for both attacking and movement—make them ideal for protecting critical Ganglion bases."
Color Variants
Xe-doms fall into four color variations:
- Silver Xe-doms are silver in color with green glowing lines and an orange eye. They can drop Xe-dom Silver Crests.
- Black Xe-doms are jet-black in color with blue glowing lines and a purple eye. They can drop Xe-dom Jet-Black Crests.
- Red Xe-doms are iron-gray in color with purple glowing lines and a red-orange eye. They can drop Xe-dom Crimson Crests. Du-rha, the Imprisoned is the only Xe-dom found with this coloration.
- Gold Xe-doms are pale brass in color with magenta glowing lines and a magenta eye. They can drop Xe-dom Golden Crests. They are only found in Cauldros.

DHS Destroys
El Paso County Department of Human Services and Child Protective Services are supposed to be protecting family's in southern Colorado, but are they actually abusing their power to destroy them?
You have the right to hear the story of how DHS removed two teenage girls, ages 13 & 15, from their home after the teens alleging depression a day after being grounded and losing cell phone privileges.
This is the true story of the overreach of DHS and CPS workers including the County Attorney who have spent almost a year determined to destroy our family for not adhering to their ridiculous demands. They are government officials overreaching into the lives of families, invading privacy and in this case taking children from a loving home on a whim! You need to know your rights. DHS destroys lives.
Look for our billboards throughout town and click below to share your story.
Go Fund Me Page
Know Your Rights
Below are some more helpful articles that display the corruption abuse of power of CPS and DHS.
Know Your Family Rights Handbook
The Full Story
This is just the beginning, we have to tell our story, and we need our community to know. Countless lives of children have been lost because of DHS and CPS incompetence. You don't think it can happen to you or affect your family, until it does.
Our teenage girls were punished for lying and leaving school and going to the boys houses without permission, I don't think I need to say that this is a somewhat common act teenagers will do or at least try to do. As parents, you have to be watchful, listen to your children and know when they are doing something dangerous, and then act accordingly to protect and correct them. Their phones were taken away and they were grounded. The girls decided, after ill advisement from an adult, to contact DHS and tell lies about what happened, hoping to scare us into letting them do whatever they wanted, again a product of the liberal media threatening parental rights. El Paso County Sherriff's office came out to investigate the allegations and determines too many inconsistencies, no evidence of abuse and the girl's stories didn't match up, and the El Paso County Sherriff then decided not to pursue any abuse charges.
DHS decided on their own, after a trained professional criminal investigator came to the conclusion that there were no signs of abuse. We told them to leave us alone, DHS then decided that they would pursue the case and have since then tried to destroy our family. DHS has shown how they would try and use all their power for pure personal revenge.
The DHS workers Hancock and Jenkins purposely mislead the El Paso County Sheriff's office and said she was threatened by us. After this incident, we believe she illegally obtained a removal order to remove our daughters after the El Paso County Sheriff's office review the order he determined it was not legal due to the lies and inconsistencies in her story. The order for removal and search warrant was squashed. This only angered the DHS workers more and they attacked the El Paso County Sheriff's officers with what can be described as vulgar and unprofessional language.
The girls were never removed and for the next week when DHS could have gone to their school and talked to them they did not. DHS just wanted to invade our home to show their power. My wife and I have always insisted that all the allegations were 100% false, and clearly someone was putting these ideas into their heads that they could call DHS to threaten us and then we would give them their cell phones back. This is a fact that was later shared in court by our older daughter who confessed that indeed the mother of the boys they were seeing without permission (mind you they were 13 and 15 at the time this all started), was telling them what to say and do to get back at us for grounding them. Come to find out, the mother of these boys was a disgruntled ex-employee of mine, who was fired, and was using this as a way to seek revenge of her own, without regard to our daughter's safety.
As a result of their falsehoods, and the dangerous overreach of DHS, we were only allowed to visit our daughters now at a supervised visitation center 1 hour a week.
The girls were sent to a foster home in the same neighborhood as the boyfriends they were sneaking out to see in the first place which caused them to get grounded. The girls snuck out of the foster home on several occasions, they were introduced to drugs, drinking alcohol, and at the age of 13 our youngest daughter lost her virginity.
Both girls were caught car hopping and got felony charges. While under DHS care and supervision, they were put in harm's way and their lives were endangered.
DHS moved the girls into different group homes, they were separated and they started to behave very badly due to the dangerous, junior gladiator environment that DHS forced them into.
One female CASA worker, LS, was incredibly disruptful and disrespectful during the trial. She was mocking me (the father) while I was giving an emotional testimony about his daughters cancer treatments.
This worker kept telling the girls that she was working hard to help them get home, when in reality she was the one who kept holding up the progress to allow them to come home. Playing on their feelings and trying to blame the parents for them not being able to come home. She continually overstepped her bounds.
The GAL lied to our daughters during mediation, by telling them we would not agree to counseling or anything the girls had wanted. When in fact, we agreed to counseling outside of DHS, with a professional private family therapist, not an amateur DHS therapists who has had several complaints filed against them from other families in similar situations. This is not effective when the DHS System is undermining the progress the family is making. They are playing mind games with troubled adolescents, that is sickening.
DHS made it mandatory for the family to go and see a therapist, they said they will send the girls home if we do what they tell us to do. DHS is now trying to run our lives, our youngest daughter begin to act so differently, talking so hateful and angry, dressing differently, she started smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and doing drugs – all while in DHS custody and supervision. She took a severe turn for the worst when DHS remove her from our home and put them into their custody, the living conditions at the group homes are absolutely deplorable, unsanitary and offer no safety. If the child decides to leave the group home, there is a "Hands Off" policy that they cannot make the child stay, so basically they can come and go as they please.
We were not allowed to talk about anything that had happened with our daughters or family several times the workers at the visitation house were very confrontational argumentative and very disrespectful. They are very close minded secular progressive liberals in my opinion.
I contacted our state representative for our area, Darrell Glenn, and told him our story. He said there was nothing he could do, and washed his hands of it. For someone campaigning saying he would help southern Colorado families, he showed us he is just another big talking politician with no action behind his words.
There are now so many people involved that it was impossible to get a jury trial anytime soon. There was one delay after another. This should be very eye opening that our system is so broken and slow that our lives have been in complete chaos and distress for almost a year, whilst the case workers, judge and county attorney have allowed for delay after delay knowing our girls were on the streets and doing nothing to let us protect them.
The overreach of DHS and Child Protective Services and their abuse of power is frightening, they have shown they have a personal vendetta against myself, as a parents and even had me jailed for contempt because I would no longer participate in their ridiculous demands of therapy. Because we would not follow their anti-religious demands. To put it bluntly. Our daughters were reprimanded for bad behavior, and DHS stepped in and made sure they got into drugs, drinking and sex.
They have put our children and our family at a greater risk than anyone can possibly imagine. Our story needs to be told.
El Paso County Department of Human Services and Child Protective Services are supposed to be protecting families in southern Colorado, but are they actually abusing their power to destroy them? You need to know your rights. DHS destroys lives.

3 Legal Malpractice Insurance Fallacies That Could Change Your Thinking/
Ask any busy professional for their most hated business process, 9 out of 10 will say filling out those darn malpractice insurance applications. I have to agree, they're inconsistent, unclear, repetitive, too long and oh-so-tedious. So much so that unless your current insurer refuses to renew your policy or doubles your premium, you will stay put with your current insurance company . . . and insurance carriers know that. When's the last time you called your insurance company with a question or problem. Not much in the Customer Service category, you say?
Fallacy #1
You need to stay with your current insurance company at renewal because they will treat you fairly and not increase your premium because you've never had a claim and loyalty really matters.
This is business. You may not have had a claim but if other policyholders with your particular area of practice have, you will pay more for your insurance. But you don't have to if you shop your coverage periodically with the help of a broker that specializes in Professional Liability Insurance.
Fallacy #2
This stuff isn't rocket science. It doesn't matter who you buy malpractice insurance from.
No, it's not rocket science, but it is confusing and not all policies are created equal. Unless you want to spend hours pouring over policy forms and comparing insurance quotes, it's best to work with an independent insurance broker that specializes and has a track record with professional liability insurance. Quotes between insurance companies are rarely apple-to-apple comparisons and the policy coverage varies…sometimes by a lot!
Fallacy #3
Professional Liability Insurance all costs about the same, regardless of where you buy it.
Professional Liability insurance rates are impacted by natural disasters, economic conditions, and poor business decisions i.e. where to write policies and who to partner with to distribute the product. It also matters how closely the insurer manages its claims. Don't overlook smaller regional insurers. They typically have a more disciplined approach to writing business which means more consistent pricing and ability to weather not-so-good economic times.
So, if your malpractice premiums have been creeping (or leaping) up over the last few years, it's fallout from the last recession and you need to be confident that you have the best insurance available at the best value for your premium dollar. Don't put it off any further, contact a specialized broker with the right relationships to have them shop for you at zero cost.

Last week we talked about what an author should give away on his or her author blog.
The resounding conclusion was that a serialized novel would be of great interest to most people. I want to thank everyone who contacted me with their thoughts and suggestions. I spent a very busy few days last week getting back to all those that were kind enough to email!
So, a serialized novel, eh?
Good. Now, I don't want to break up an old story and send it out - that would feel like cheating. What I want to do is to write a new novel - and give it away a chapter at a time - as it is being written. Live writing - yay!
But which one? I have quite a few ideas for my next fiction project but, to be honest, I'm a bit stuck on which to pursue for this particular exercise.
So, again, it's over to you.
Which of the following ideas do you think I should develop into a serialized novel?
You can vote on more than one!
Matt Johnson is a detective constable with a chip on his shoulder. He's also not a great cop - according to his bosses - and his wife. They want him out of the force. To rescue his career and marriage he must solve a series of crimes - a serial killer case, a political corruption scandal and a drug bust - all within 14 days - to save his job and his life.
Dead Center
The Essene Heresy
PSI Kids: Harley
This one's plotted, but I have admit the 'feel' of it is still fairly vague in my head.
More familiar ground for me. I have two characters I have used in several stories already. Patrick Whynowski - an aging rock star - and DI Theresa Maddox. In this story, they team up to investigate a series of murders apparently committed by dead people. In a race against time they must defeat a modern day alchemist who is raising the dead and threatening to destabilize the world.
This one's plotted too - and I've actually written the first 20000 words.
This one could be huge - and challenging. An ancient scroll dating from the time of Christ details a ritual that guarantees immortality, A glamorous female writer commissions a psychic detective to help her find the scroll. On the way they discover that the owner of a multi-national corporation is also hunting for the scroll and will stop at nothing to possess it. The ensuing drama crosses three continents and the climax involves an army of the undead, combined national intelligence forces and the potential unleashing of a terrible secret that could rock the known world.
I have a synopsis for this. I think it could be awesome but it would be a lot of work to get it just right!
The first book of this series (available on Kindle) is about Willow - she's a 15 year old orphan and psychic who teams up with 14 year old Harley to investigate a murder. The second book would be about Harley - who has a relationship with a ghost called Rick - who basically acts as a surrogate father to him.
I don't have a plot for this at all - yet. Just some vague thoughts, none of which have concreted.
Jack and the Wild
This is a twist on the old Jekyll and Hyde story. A ten year old boy leaves home after drinking a poisoned energy drink that turns him into a monster. The story details the adventure he has while on the run. With the help of a young girl and an Aboriginal teenager, they pursue and then confront an evil professor bent on world domination. It's for kids but has a lot of horror type action weaved into its fabric.
This one is fully plotted - but so far I haven't written more than a few thousand words.

This weekend finally was our bazaar. And it was a great success. Every year we are dreading it and every year we are glad we did it again. This year we had decided not to take part with the crafting side but just concentrate on our"trademark" and successnumbers which are the gluehwein for the adults and the playroom for the children. More than 350 children came and enjoyed the simple but fun games. Face-painting, the balloon figures and the lucky dip were amongst the favorites as every year.
And today it tuesday again. This time a picture from the kitchenwindow where you can see one reindeer (the other one is in the garden) and Santa's sleigh. Santa himself is hanging on the outside wall. These figures were made years ago by a very dear friend. She gave them to me when she decided to move back to Oregon in the States. She probably will never see this picture but I am so happy with them and they are a proud feature every Christmas and a special reminder of a special friend whose company is missed by us.
In the right side of the picture you can see a lemontree but on the ground are the oranges that fall down during the storm we had this weekend with strong southwinds. Today there is no sign of storm and I am glad too because in 2 hours my youngest son and I are off by ship to the mainland where we will be buying his very first suit for the big schoolparty on Christmas day.

I was really a shy kind of person, I only had few friends. I grew up in a society where cream-skinned, tall with long, straight hair are the pretty girls. The things is, none of me fits the criteria. I was really tan and my hair sticks out everywhere. That's why I've been bullied half of my life, been called numerous names that scarred me 'til now.
Back when I was 13, My mom enrolled me into this school which I think bullying is actually legal because no matter how my mom confront the guidance counselor, she just won't give a fuck. So I dropped out of that shitty school with a bruised heart and shallow razor cuts.
The second school that my mom enrolled me in is a much bigger and sophisticated one.I knew right there and then that I do not belong in that pretty school where all the pretty girls and boys belonged. As I took my breakfast because I was about to have my first day at that school, I cried in front of my mom and told her I can't do it, I just can't go to that school and pretend that I fit in. She got really angry, told me how expensive the tuition fee and how hassle it was. But in the end of the day, mothers will be mothers. I dropped out again without trying.
My mom again enrolled me to a much smaller school. We were just 6, 4 boys and 2 girls. My classmates we're even extra nice, maybe the teacher told them to do so. I thought I'd be happier but I was wrong. Right there, I realized that crowds isn't really the problem. It's the people that I am afraid of.
Specifically, the thoughts they have everytime they look at me. I continued going to school for a week but I grew tired of faking everything so I told my Dad about it because I can't no longer looked my mom straight in the eyes.
Daddy was emotionless but he gave one condition, I'll have one year out of school to rest from emotional shits that i was feeling.
I enjoyed my year without school stuffs just at home watching cartoons and eating. But the year ended.
My parents took me first to our pastor to seek some formal advice, which really did a lot of help. They enrolled me too. First few weeks, i still cried because I still felt that I do not belonged to school. I also went to the guidance counselor every single day of the week. And then it became twice a week, once a week and until I do not see her anymore. Thank God for the awesome GC.
Fast forward to now, I am no longer the girl who wants to fit in,I can't see razor cuts-scars anymore, I do not care anymore if my happiness makes you sick. I found confidence to the showcase who I am really. I am 17 now, much happier, bolder and bravier. I get sad once in a while but I can manage.
To those people who suffered the same thing or worse, please please do not quit, do not be afraid to seek help and do not end your life. Do not give the bullies the victory which they do not deserve at all. I know it's hard, really, but I want you guys to know that you are not alone in this and the world is much beautiful with you.
Love, Maggie.

Show Region if not logged in not functioning properly on one particular iPad
I've created a web app that utilizes security assist Show Region if function to determine different levels of user login and authentication. It works flawlessly across all devices and browsers, with one exception. The client has one particular iPad, I'm told an older one, for which the Show Region function doesn't seem to work. For instance, there is a login form that is set to show only if the user is not logged in, but for some reason, that login form remains hidden on that particular device even if the user is not logged in.
I'm awaiting more information on the exact iPad version, iOS version and browser, but I'm looking for direction on troubleshooting. What sorts of functionality within the device would prevent the Show Region function from operating properly? I had thought with PHP it would be primarily a server side function, but apparently there's something else to it.

About a month ago, we received our 28-count Lugana fabric in the mail, with the outline of the design already drawn on (thanks for that, Marion!). All we were asked to do was damp press the fabric (if we so desired), mount it on our frame of choice, and bring our own threads and colors to stitch with. She assured us in her accompanying note that we wouldn't be bored in her class (I certainly wasn't), that we would get hooked on blackwork (as most of you know, I already was), and that every student's piece would be quite different from all the others. I was a little skeptical about that last claim. I thought that everyone's would be a different color, of course, but that we would just copy what she had stitched.
When the class started, we were given a wide variety of blackwork patterns from which to choose. Here are some models that Marion brought with her. As you can see, each is really different from the others--there was a fourth piece that had just every other section stitched, but I didn't get a good photo of it. She didn't tell us which specific blackwork patterns she used, these are merely for inspiration.
We are doing the Dresden design that you see on top and on the lower right. The piece on the lower right has half the sections shaded dark to light from the center outward, and the other sections are shaded the opposite. I'm not going to get quite that fancy with mine.
Here is my start. I'm planning to stitch only every other section, using a red and blue color scheme, and the Lugana really is white. Marion gave us some clever blackwork patterns that are actually letters, if you look hard enough. Starting with the section in the southwest corner, the pattern will spell C H I C A G O. Can you see the first four letters? The stitched sections will be shaded and outlined, but only after we get all the base patterns stitched, per Marion's instructions. I made my task a little bit more challenging because all of her patterns have suggestions for shading, except for the "letter" patterns, so I'm on my own with that. Chicago's flag is blue, white and red--I may depict it in the middle in some way. No one in the class is doing anything like this piece, probably for good reason, so she was right about each piece being totally different, too.

Newly-wed Melbourne couple Geoffrey and Gabi Edelsten have announced to the press today that they are planning to divorce should gays be allowed to wed, and also if gays are not allowed to wed, citing their longheld reverence for the tradition of divorce.
"As everyone knows, the sanctity of marriage is a fundamental belief of mine," said Geoffrey, "and I just don't think I could stay married if the institution was debased by allowing anyone to just wed anyone on a whim."
"On the other hand," he continued, "my fifth wife is a firm believer in gay rights, and she has threatened to divorce me in protest if the new same-sex marriage bill doesn't pass, so it looks like those divorce papers I picked up on the way home from the wedding are already paying off."
The Edelstens made headlines this week when the 72 year old millionaire and 26 year old multipass enthusiast entered into the historic and traditional institution of marriage in a shotgun wedding at Melbourne airport, surrounded by many of their closest members of airport security. The marriage is said to have taken place in order to exploit a loophole in immigration law, and it is these traditions that Geoffrey fears will be lost if same-sex couples are allowed to debase the sacred holy rite.
Questioned after the wedding whether they were considering having children Geoffrey replied, "Of course, the tradition of marriage has always been centered around the family and I firmly believe the need to reproduce should be crucial to all marriages." However Mr Edelsten did qualify that for the time being having one child was "more than enough for him", before ruffling his wife's hair and offering her a dollar to go buy herself a lollipop.

3 Good Reasons to Maintain a Household Emergency Fund
Managing money calls for a great deal of planning, but flexibility is another key feature of effective personal financial management. Although most spending needs can be anticipated well in advance, flexibility in your personal budget allows for unexpected expenses. And an emergency fund gives you a cash cushion to fall back on, when extraordinary demands emerge. If, like many households, your emergency resources fall short; consider the following good reasons to establish and maintain a personal contingency fund.
Create your own safety net
As you plan your budget and account for myriad household spending demands, efforts should be made to reserve savings for an emergency fund. For the best results, sequester the resources in a separate account, rather than comingling emergency savings with other incoming resources. That way, you'll be less tempted to unnecessarily draw from the account for ill-advised purchases. If possible, establish an interest bearing fund, to help your emergency resources grow. And make it as inconvenient as possible to access the money – even setting-up your contingency account at a separate bank, away from your primary financial institution.
1. Personal Insurance
Regardless of the cause of financial difficulties – and there are many; a contingency fund acts as an insurance policy, preventing a manageable issue from snowballing into a bigger problem. In fact, you can use the analogy to stay on track with savings. By thinking of your emergency fund as an insurance policy, and paying corresponding premiums to your own reserve account, you essentially mirror the benefits of insurance coverage, administering the benefit yourself, rather than hiring a provider.
A personal emergency account reserves resources you can use to address these and other common financial crises:
- Temporary unemployment
- Costly car repairs
- Medical bills
- Mechanical breakdowns at home
- Job loss
- Divorce expenses
- Special property assessments
- Income tax obligations
2. Avoid Costly Alternatives
Unexpected expenses pop-up quickly, so there isn't always time to wait for funding – money is usually needed on the spot. When an urgent demand strikes, you may find fast financing online, and it is important to recognize; certain choices make more sense than others. Credit cards, for instance, carry high interest rates and stiff penalties for late payment, making it easy to get into financial trouble overusing revolving credit. Cards also have credit limits, which may not cover your entire financing need. As a result, credit cards should be used only as a last resort. Unfortunately, without an emergency account, your options may be limited – and costly.
Though various types of loans provide funding at lower rates and with flexible repayment terms, no form of financing is as cost-effective as drawing from your own emergency reserves. In effect, maintaining emergency resources helps you avoid making ill-advised financial decisions.
3. Maintain Cash Flow
Some financial emergencies relate to specific purchases, repairs, or replacement needs. In other cases, emergency reserves are needed when income or household cash flow are interrupted. Job loss and temporary layoffs, as well as injury and disability, cause these types of unanticipated financial inconsistencies. If you are impacted by these unforeseen events, your well-funded emergency account bridges the financial gap, as you grapple with these challenging circumstances.
Many financial advisors recommend a particular savings threshold, though any progress in the right direction is better than facing financial difficulties with nothing in reserve. Finance experts commonly suggest emergency savings totaling at least three months' worth of customary household spending. With such a lofty goal, it may take some time for you to set aside ample funds, but holding a few months' worth of cash reserves substantially lowers your vulnerability to financial distress.
Maintaining a healthy emergency fund helps limit risk and prevents small financial problems from growing into unmanageable concerns. Not only do emergency resources cover pop-up expenses, but keeping a rainy day fund can also save you from costly alternatives.

Charlie Whiting explains penalties from Mexican GP
FIA F1 race director Charlie Whiting has explained why Lewis Hamilton was not penalized for cutting across the grass in the Mexican GP, and yet Max Verstappen did receive a penalty for a similar offence.
Whiting joined the regular FIA press conference – attended by both drivers – in order to address controversial issues arising from the Mexican GP. He stressed that Hamilton did not gain an advantage by straight-lining the corner.
"I think the principal difference between the two was simply that, in Lewis' case it was felt that he didn't gain any lasting advantage and it Max's case, he did," said Whiting. "You can see that Lewis makes a small mistake at the beginning, cuts across, gains significant track advantage but then sets about giving that back immediately. You can see on the straight – or we can see – on the straight between Turns 3 and 4 he backs off to 80 percent throttle to give that advantage back. Because obviously he's got a significant advantage there.
"Then, about a minute later, the Safety Car's deployed and that advantage is gone completely. So, the stewards felt no lasting advantage. On the other hand, the case with Max and Sebastian, if Max had done the same thing on the straight between Turns 3 and 4, he would certainly have lost the place. I think that's why the stewards felt that this deserved a penalty because the driver had gained a lasting advantage. That's the fundamental difference between the two incidents in the eyes of the Stewards."
Expanding on Hamilton not getting an advantage he added: "We were going to ask Lewis to back right off to ensure that he maintained the same distance he had when he went in to the corner but we could see from the data that he had already backed off significantly and then the VSC was deployed followed by the safety car so there was no need to take any further action but had that not happened, yes we would have done that, yes."
Not surprisingly, the two drivers expressed different views.
"Of course I don't agree with the decision but it doesn't really make a lot of difference, does it?" said Verstappen. "I've got a penalty. I think if you give penalties, give it to both or you don't give any penalties. But I think what we maybe need to change for the future is that once you go off it should be a penalty on its own instead of the stewards interfering with that to decide a penalty. I think we need to come up with a solution that, once you go off, that should be the penalty on its own."
"I agree with Charlie's explanation," said Hamilton. "I don't really have a particular opinion about it. I think ultimately the stewards have a very, very difficult job because every single scenario is different, as he was mentioning. For example, the Safety Car came out immediately after my incident, for example. Every scenario is a little bit different; it's not that easy to apply the same rule to every single thing. I also agree with Max that we should work with Charlie – as we have been, I think, through the year – to try and make it easier for them to make decisions and for it to be more clear."
Meanwhile, Whiting said that the FIA had made efforts to address corners that could be cut.
"I think we've done this in fact in a number of circuits where you have a situation similar to the one that occurred in Mexico: second chicane in Monza; last chicane in Montreal; Sochi, first corner or turn two in fact. So we've developed systems, if you like, that drivers have to take a certain route back onto the track and thereby are automatically slower.
"This wasn't a problem last year in Mexico because I think simply because the grass was all new and it was wetter and it was more difficult to drive across. This year, quite clearly, it was quite easy to drive across and hence we had a problem, but it's very easy, I think, to rectify that and do a similar sort of arrangement to come back onto the track, which will mean that drivers will come back on slower and hence there will be no discussion whether or not they gained an advantage. I think that's what Max was saying earlier."

ROXBURY, Pa. - A mountain fire in Lurgan Township continued burning Tuesday night, four days after it started.
"It just gets under the rocks and comes up somewhere else," Pleasant Hall Volunteer Fire Co. Chief Eric Varner said Tuesday evening. He had just returned to the fire hall from the scene, about two miles west of Roxbury on Blue Mountain.
The fire is in steep, rugged terrain. It's difficult for firefighters to get to, let alone haul the equipment and water needed to put it out. Varner said it takes about 45 minutes for crews to hike from the nearest road to the remote area.
"It's pretty much contained" and not threatening any buildings, Varner said. No firefighters would be stationed at the scene overnight, he said.

penne with prosciutto and peas
What started out as a lunch without hope turned delicious pretty quickly.
I had pulled out some frozen canned tomatoes to thaw, with the thought of throwing together a quick pasta dish. Then, I remembered I wanted to use some of the larger arugula leaves in the garden. On my way back inside, I snagged a handful of mint after I remembered the frozen peas we almost always have on hand in the freezer. Buckley, our 15-month-old girl, loves them, and they are handy for last-minute delights such as pea soup, fava-pea puree, and mashed-potatoes with olive oil and peas.
The canned tomatoes went back in the fridge for another day, and out came leftover cream, parmesan and two lonely slices of prosciutto from the weekend's festivities. All of a sudden, I had the makings of a pasta dish I actually wanted to partake in. The rich creamy pasta has bursts of green and rich pink strips of prosciutto.
The arugula, however, really stole the show. Its peppery bite, enhanced with bright lemon flavor, gave each forkful new life. I regretted not picking more; when I finished it, I settled for squeezing the lemon over the top of my remaining pasta.
penne with prosciutto and peas
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 c frozen peas, blanched
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 slices of prosciutto
1/3 c parmesan
3/4 c cream
3/4 c whole milk
1 tsp chopped mint
8 oz whole wheat penne pasta
handful of arugula
1/2 lemon
Melt butter and olive oil together over med. high heat. Add shallots, then peas. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, add penne to boiling water to cook.
After a few minutes, add one slice of chopped prosciutto to the peas. After one minute, add the cream and milk and allow to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Add the parmesan, stir in the chopped mint, then season to taste.
Toss penne with sauce mixture and serve on heated plates. Top with thin strips of uncooked prosciutto and arugula that has been tossed with salt, pepper, and juice from 1/2 lemon.

Came across this article on this website. Must say the author (Joel Spolsky) has a sense of humor, don't know how to classify it. But, do trust me this is what happens to technical writers in software companies.
"When you don't have a spec, what happens with the poor technical writers is the funniest (in a sad kind of way). Tech writers often don't have the political clout to interrupt programmers. In many companies, if tech writers get in the habit of interrupting programmers to ask how something is supposed to work, the programmers go to their managers and cry about how they can't get any work done because of these [expletive deleted] writers, and could they please keep them away, and the managers, trying to improve productivity, forbid the tech writers to waste any more of their precious programmers' time. You can always tell these companies, because the help files and the manuals don't give you any more information than you can figure out from the screen."
Must visit it more often for its, whackier, um, engagingly written sense of content.

I was once offered a job as a technical writer some years ago. Fortunately, my extravagant PSU salary prevented me from taking a lower paid job, although I enjoyed the interview very much!

Hi Chryselle,
Now you know what happens to technical writers?

Being a technical writer is challenging. There are cases when your job is made easier if you have a good project manager, who is in charge of the engineers. In that case it is amazing how quickly you can gather your facts and write the manual.
A few years ago I did tech writing for a while, and I was lucky to have a great project manager, who made my task of writing really easy. He probably helped me because of two things: my familiarity with Clearcase and Unix, and the fact that I knew how to navigate man pages.
Best of luck with your writing.

Sport in our hearts, tradition in taste. Holding strong to the pure value of sport meant as an active life-style, Caffè Barbera has supported many sports clubs over the years, both at a regional and national level. In particular, the company sponsors football and basketball activities, sharing those positive values of energy and emotion which the challenge of sport transmits.
Caffè Barbera's commitment has been concrete over time though its sponsorship program, working side by side with clubs which have brought about the rebirth of basketball in Messina. With immense effort and outstanding results, Polisportiva Rescifina has reached national level in women's basketball. The company has also sponsored Orlandina at the highest national level, and Pallacanestro Messina. Today, they are the proud sponsors of Sigma Barcellona, Serie A2.
Caffè Barbera has been first in line sponsoring Messina Football, not only as partner of the first team but also sponsor of the entire youth players network of F.C. Messina, from the youth academy to the Primavera team. This commitment continues with the prestigious sponsorship of AC Milan. The partnership the Rossonero club has been in place now for 8 years. Probably the magic moment was with the Milan Tour which chose Messina as the only stop in southern Italy while celebrating the achievement of being the most awarded football club in the world, having won the EUFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. Coffee break is special at the San Siro stadium, where the culture of sport blend harmoniously with coffee culture.

Social Media today is not distinct from our real life; it is our real life. It is as real as the places we visit, hotels we stay in, restaurants we dine at or even the airline we choose to fly with. The social circles can be created on websites like Facebook, Google+, Twitter and even mobile applications like Foursquare. More often than not they will beat the number of people forming your social circle in real life.
However, the hospitality industry was initially slow in recognizing that social media was now the platform for consumer's voice and opinion, which could be read, heard and believed by anyone, anywhere in the world. Initially many hotels did not pay any heed to queries or guest reviews on social media. Since then the industry has come a long way and embraced social media like it was waiting for a renaissance to happen. Today, from major hotel chains to local cafes they are all harnessing the power of social media via Facebook, Twitter etc.
Social Media continues to grow exponentially. It has not only become a critically important medium to interact with customers but also an integral part of the marketing and communications strategy. The major concerns raised in the hospitality industry is on what basis does one interact with customers without giving them an experience of their property or why should a popular hospitality property/chain be even bothered about being on social media considering the brand name that it holds, what would be the return on investment?
Answer to all of the above is "Experience Sharing", which needs to be optimized and spread via social media. Consumers want to experience the brand either by themselves or through the eyes of others. Just being a brand name in the industry doesn't help, if the perception customers hold about you doesn't match up. These experiences and perceptions are the pull for any consumer to visit your property.
Internet along with social media can provide a natural extension to this in the form of e-commerce and social commerce thus providing a direct response to your ROI. Social media is the eye with which the world can see or discuss positive and negative opinions and these opinions impact your prospective and loyal customers too.
When people research for hotels, restaurants, other services; they go deep enough to make sure they not making a bad investment. They search for ratings, pictures, videos and user content to get an impression about the property. They check with their friends on social networks for recommendations.
Word of mount has a whole new meaning and its called social media. The key is to create a conversation with your customer is by sharing testimonials and real photos, not photo-shopped photos. Do this right and you would never need to make any "offers".
We look at opportunities various platforms social media provides the hospitality and how it can be leveraged rightly.

My chicks are on their way. I ordered them from Ideal Hatchery. I ordered 10 to start with but plan to increase to 50. The brooder is set up and ready to go. I am using an old metal water trough I once used for goats. My grandson insisted that the brooder be set up in his room. I figured what's the harm we can always move it later
Started on the chicken coop. Building it inside a barn I already have. Making the coop 12X12 with an outside run 24X24. I hope that is enough for my plan of 50 chickens. Tonight I completed one wall and installed the door. Two walls are part of the barn that is already there. The fourth wall is studded up ready for Osb plywood. One side of the ceiling joists are nailed in too.
I am using this as exercise too. I am 4 months post op from total. Knee replacement. At 55 years old I am not ready to throw in the towel yet.
I almost forgot. I ordered 4 Buff Orpington-2Barred Rock-2Easter Egger-2 Buff Brahmas
I will update later
