People often ask me how to clean the dust that causes image spots, off their digital camera sensors. There are many more dangerous and or expensive methods, but this usually works for me.
Rocket Air is my recommendation of the week. It's a hand blower that actually works. Really well! I mean it packs a punch.I just lock my mirror up, and give it some good blasts of air. Unlike canned air this does not run out, and there's no propellant. Canned air is not recommended for senors, but this thing is great for them.
Aside from cleaning your senors you'll soon be blowing all kinds of stuff, like the dust out of your keyboard. If your like me you'll like it so much you'll start blowing it in your kids face, and shooting air into your mouth to see what different sounds you can make.
It's all over the net, but you can find Rocket Air here on Amazon for only about twelve bucks. This is one of my favorite handy dandy drawer gadgets.

I'm really excited to share a Project of the Week with you for The House That Stamps Built and Repeat Impressions stamps this week.
I'm a true technique junkie and love trying new ways to create cards and projects that's why I'm looking forward to these new weekly Magic Mondays and we hope you do too.
For my project I chose to share with you a technique called "Blackboard" or "Calkboard" Technique (I've seen it titled both ways).
For this card I used Repeat Impressions Stamp #8402-M "My Sunshine". I doodled some hearts around the image as well as adding some dots with my pencil and then again with my white pen and colored them in with coordinating colored pencils. My background was created with scraps that I embossed in various embossing folders. I used a small heart punch and punched some tiny hearts and added some butcher twine for embellishments.
This is a very simple technique and one which uses supplies I think most of you may already have.
Watermark ink (I used VersaMark)
Embossing powder tool like an emossing buddy (I use the EK Success Powder Tool)
White Embossing Powder
A white pencil and/or white pen
White Pigment Ink
Heat gun (not shown)
The process:
1. Cut piece of black card stock the size you desire for your choosen stamp.
2. Prepare it with the embossing buddy powder tool to keep the embossing powder from sticking to areas outside your stamped image.
3. Stamp your image onto the card stock with the watermark ink.
4. Sprinkle with white embossing powder.
5. Heat set with heat gun.
6. Trim card stock panel if desired, then with your finger, spread small amounts of white pigment ink along the outside edges of the cs and around the embossed image. Add more if desired around areas - make it look a little smudgy, as if it's an erased blackboard.
7. You can add your own little doodles to the image with your white pencil if desired.
8. Finish card as desired.
A few of you may recall this card that I posted for an earlier challenge at The House That Stamps Built using this technique.
The stamps I used for this are #2914-I "Duck Takeoff" and #1113-D "Happy Birthday". Other supplies are GKD Pure Luxury "Black Onyx" card stock and a scrap piece of Co'ordinations paper with black core. The "twine" is just some white cotton embroidery thread I had.
I hope you've enjoyed my project and if it's new to you, I hope you'll give it a try.
Thanks for stopping by,

Megan E Craddock - Ceramics
"I am a young fine artist with a drive to create living altars to the divine. I use my potter's wheel to create objects which can be used to grow plants and nourish the body. I feel we all need more thriving green space in our lives for the benefit of our physical and emotional health. I want to build the vehicle that might encourage someone to become more intimately familiar with a plant who had never considered it a possibility before.
This work can be as simple as a flower pot but often stretches to bridge the gap between functional and sculptural. The quick turnaround of simple thrown pots gives me the freedom to explore glaze reactions and test new surfaces for more intricate sculptural forms. These objects also begin as large pots thrown on the wheel, which are altered and hand built into elaborate planters.
I fire all of my work with propane gas in an old electric kiln which has been stripped of its elements. My surfaces are directly influenced by Steven Hill's formulations and explorations of microcrystalline matte glazes that can be fired to maturity at cone six. Beth Cavener-Stichter's evocative animal sculptures are another source of inspiration and a constant encouragement to challenge social and physical boundaries in my artistic practice."

The veterans reckon lay into band like Hear'say and Steps, labelling them "meaningless" and "careerist"...
Pop veterans the Pet Shop Boys have slammed today's pop scene as careerist and meaningless – singling out Steps and Hear'Say as the worst offenders.
Speaking exclusively to NME.COM to talk about their forthcoming sold out NME show at the London Astoria – which the band are "really excited about" – Pet Shop Boys Chris Lowe said that he despaired of the "stage school" background of most acts currently populating the charts.
"When we started as a pop group in the 80s we were a pop group and very proud to be a pop group. But that doesn't really exist anymore – look at S Club 7, Westlife, etc. Everyone wants to be taken seriously rather than as a pop group. Yet most of them don't even write their own songs! In our time, we always did and still do – so did Soft Cell, Culture Club, Heaven 17, etc. Pop music had some sort of integrity then. Pop music then was all about writing your songs and doing the whole thing for yourself. We didn't even have stylists! That's what we looked like!
"It meant something. But now it's just a career. You go to stage school and you come out either wanting to be a television presenter or in some crap band."
Chris named and shamed who he saw as the worst perpetrators.
"I mean, three of Steps don't even like the music they sing! Yet they expect you to pay to hear it! Or Hear'say. They just treat it as a job. I hate that. WE still believe in pop music."
Chris also spoke exclusively about the band's as yet untitled forthcoming album, the follow-up to 1999's 'Nightlife' – saying that former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr played on most tracks and that the album was more guitar based than ever before.
"The new album is definitely more guitar-based, very song-based," Lowe explained. "The starting point for the songs wasn't really influenced by dance music. We just threw the demo down then threw on different drums beats to see what fitted."
He continued: "It's actually quite a melancholy album and the songs are very personal to Neil, very genuine, very earnest. There's no irony. It's very honest – and it's our best album for donkey's years. It's not really about image, it's about the music. That's why we want to take it out to people."

rush seekers. When you're here at Bench Trail it's always fun to stop at Uncompahgre National Forest; a magnificent location to camp here at Bench Trail is T Bone Spring Campground. Bench Trail is a location that is reasonably waterless commonly. August is the month that gets the most rain, and June on the other hand is the driest. All through the long summer days highs here at Bench Trail reach the 90's, and the nighttime is a little chillier of course, ordinarily
in the 60's. High temperatures during the winter are normally in the 40's; nighttime lows at Bench Trail all through the winter generally drop into the 10's.

Gunloons Make the Best Possible Case for Gun Control
I have been saying this for years, especially a few years back, when the NRA and the gunloony far right were trying to make a case for "open carry" nonsense by carrying their AR-15s and other military weapons in places where families shop. No one makes a better case for gun control than the average gunloon.
These days, about three weeks after some 19-year-old asshole shot up a school with a fully accessorized AR-15 that he should have never been allowed to buy, the "usual suspects," meaning the NRA loyalists and the people who place guns above God in their lives, have actually taken to attacking the surviving students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida because it is clear they value their ownership of military assault weapons over the lives of children. Some have even taken to calling Cameron Kasky, David Hogg and other students "bullies" because they have dared suggest that no civilian needs a gun capable of firing 45 rounds per minute.
These gun nuts truly believe they're making a case against any sort of gun control with their petulance, and their obstinate attempt to force everyone else in the country to accept their completely baseless interpretation of the Second Amendment. Of course, as is the case with everything they do, they're wrong. In fact, they're making a better case for gun control than any non-gun person could ever make.
Remember a few years back, when a bunch of "good old boys" would gather together to show everyone how brave they were by carrying guns in peaceful places where there were plenty of children and there were no threats present? I will never forget the images of Cletus, Bubba and Homer, proudly brandishing their guns at the local Target, is if the gun was a symbol of ther manhood, rather than a replacement. I know their fevered brains, such as they were, told them they were "reinforcing gun rights," but what they actually did was to make everyone fear them and realize there is no place they belong. I also remember an iconic photo, in which some asshole with an assault rifle was standing in line as a Subway sandwich shop, with a bunch of kids around, with an assault weapon around his neck, as if he wasn't scaring anyone.
Whereas these gunloons think they were making guns seem less scary, the fact is, they were actually reinforcing the notion that anyone who wants one can obviously buy a gun, and wield it anywhere they want. That's not a positive development at all. When I see some asshole walking through the local supermarket, I don't feel safer; I'm hoping to fuck he's not some psycho who plans to shoot others. I am also worried that someone might come in with a weapon and actually want to do harm and Cletus will shoot the wrong person. Seriously, are we just supposed to hope these guys know what the fuck they're doing? How is that making anyone safer?
Worse, all these idiots claim they're protected by the Constitution when they're not. That concept is absurd. No one has a right to carry a gun on private property, for one thing. That's up to the owners. If the executives at Target decide that pissing off gunloons is worth the effort, they can toss these idiots and ban them for life. They can also have them arrested. And if I were a Target executive, I'd have to ask how many people are refusing to shop in their stores because they see crazy-looking goobers with guns running around on their property and scaring the kids. And really, if you have to carry an AR-15 into a Subway to get a shitty sandwich, your level of paranoia is high enough to warrant counseling.
Right now, because Republicans have been running the show for too long, anyone could take a loaded AR-15 into a Target store. And until they shoot someone, here is no way to tell whether they are good or bad, and they could open fire without warning. At some point, someone will walk into a retail store that allows this sort of silliness and kill people. And there will be nothing police or store security can do to stop them.
Yeah, I said it; a lack of gun control is the main reason most business owners ban guns from their premises, and it's why all businesses should do so. There is currently no possible way to know who is carrying a gun into your establishment, and anything could happen.
On the other hand (and gunloons really need to pay attention here), if all guns were registered and all gun owners/carriers were licensed, certified and background checked on a regular basis, it's possible that all anyone — whether it's a police officer or a store security guard — would have to do is scan a person's identification to have at least a reasonable belief that the person toting the gun is a law-abiding gun owner, rather than a troublemaker.
And that is why we need comprehensive gun control. We need to be able to tell good guys from bad guys.

Lyon :D
It was Sunday. We were visiting the Grandparents. Lyon soaked right through his diaper, onesie, then his shorts. I noticed he needed to be changed too late. We of course had no extra clothes or diapers for him. Fortunately we found this towel in our car. I had it on the front seat, it had been there for weeks, I put it there just in case my water broke in the car (back when I was preggo). LOl! We tried it toga style, but that didn't work. Someone found a safty pin so we wrapped it around his waist and pinned it. It wasn't really practical, I think he would have been okay running around naked but.... Then I wouldn't have these really cute pics to share. :D

Police kept busy over No Refusal weekend
The Memorial Day weekend was busy for Montgomery County law enforcement agencies, on the road and on the lake, with one motor-vehicle fatality, one death related to the lake, five boating accidents and 39 DWI arrests.
This weekend started Texas' 100 Deadliest Days - the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day - when the summer weather encourages outside activities.
The No Refusal Weekend isn't limited to ground travel. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department doubled the number of wardens on patrol on Lake Conroe, in addition to Montgomery County Precinct 1 Marine Division, Lake Conroe Fire Department and North Montgomery County Fire Department, according to Precinct 1 Marine Division Lt. Timothy Cade.
There were five boat wrecks on Lake Conroe, with boats hitting each other or hitting something, sending one juvenile to the hospital.
"We had about 150 to 175 contacts with boaters this weekend, conducting safety checks, making sure they had life preservers," Cade said.
"We don't have to have probable cause to approach the boat."
Chief Prosecutor of Vehicular Crimes Warren Diepraam said Lake Conroe was one of the deadliest lakes, now it is one of the safest.
During the weekend, there were three Boating While Intoxicated arrests, with one being a third offender (felony) and another involving a safety inspection of a Jet Ski, when the person fled on the water to try to hide marijuana, Diepraam said.
"BWIs are slightly down from last year, but we're just beginning the boating season. If anyone is impaired slightly, the person can go to jail and have a $2,000 fine."
On Saturday night, Julio Reyes, 42, of Tomball, died in a head-on collision on FM 2978, when Landon Pieper, 21, of The Woodlands, allegedly crossed the line and collided with the vehicle.
A Missouri City man, Badredin Nikoui, died Sunday evening after becoming distressed while swimming in the lake with his family.
The No Refusal program incorporates Montgomery County law enforcement, judges and medical personnel to lawfully collect blood samples from drivers who have been pulled over on suspicion of operating an automobile while intoxicated with alcohol or other prohibited substances such as cocaine or marijuana, in spite of whether the driver refuses to submit to alcohol testing.
Whenever a crash occurs that suggests alcohol was a contributing factor, assistant district attorneys can obtain a warrant from a judge in a matter of minutes.

when my windows 7 is on standby or shut down the monitor is still on.
it's an ibm monitor.
what should i do?
Go to Control panel> Power options> Choose when to turn off display.
What you mean by still on?
Does the power light on the monitor change color (standby)?
Yeah if you mean the monitor LED has gone from green to (probably) amber then the monitor has shut off the screen but remains on standby which would happen if you turned off the computer but did not press the on/off monitor button. Windows can shut off the computer without you touching the computer power button but the monitor is a separate device.
sorry to not clarify.
when the pc on standby it looks like that:
If it's a desktop, you shouldn't be using standby. Or hibernate. Response #1 is the way to go. Re-configure your power option settings.
i will try when i will be near the computer. thanks

The 11th round of Ewha Global Empowerment Program (EGEP), an educational program for women from Asian and African countries in non-governmental and public sectors, started on Sunday, January 8.
EGEP aims to theoretically and practically empower female talents in the non-government and public interest sectors of Asia and Africa, internationally improve woman's right by education, and contribute to the development of global community. It has turned out 215 people with diploma from 42 countries so far, and 19 participants from 15 Asian countries two African countries are now attending a two-week program of the 11th EGEP.
Pamela Philipose, public editor, and Lee mikyeong, Chairperson of Korea Sexual Violence Relief Center, gave a lecture and held a discussion on the topic of "New Challenges of Feminisms for Anti-GBV Transnational Activism" in an open seminar on Tuesday, January 10.
After the seminar, the participants joined action plan activities, workshops, lectures, group talks and the 1266th weekly protest rally held every Wednesday to solve the issue of Korean comfort women for the Japanese army. They also tried to find ways to end sexual discrimination and violence against women and share how to practice them in the field through these activities.

SACHA RUNA: Ethnicity and Adaptation of Ecudorian Jungle Quichua, by Norman E. Whitten, Jr (U of ILL Press, 1976)
This is written in a heavy and almost unreadable style, with lots of native terms (Spanish, too). It's about peoples who live a bit south of Coca and Sacha Lodge on the Rio Napo where I visited [with the Dodge Foundation rain forest studies group]. Lots of talk of shamans and spirits, but not in a form that makes it useful or even graspable. Too academic, alas.
The Spirit and the Flesh, Sexual Diversity in American Indian Culture by Walter L. Williams. Beacon Press, Boston 1986.
A few years ago, in the summer of '92 when I spent some time taking a course in Environmental Chemistry at Bar Harbor, Maine, I came across a book by a Jungian analyst from San Francisco, Robert Hopche. I can't remember the title, but it dealt with gay culture from a Jungian viewpoint, and was surprisingly helpful for an understanding of the differences between patriarchal and non-patriarchal manhood. It's interesting that it was that recently that we were still formulating such a distinction!
2012 Note: It's been 20 years now, but it helped me to see that "the masculine" could be expressed in other than the most conventional terms of American culture. I once (in the early 1970s) heard Alan Watts say there were 12 basic sexes, but he didn't expand on it at the time. We've come along way since all that!
This book, The Spirit and the Flesh, is similar in value to Hopche's. It's about Native American berdaches (Sioux: winkte), as known from past historical documents and contemporary Native Gay movements. The author is an "ethnohistorian" from the University of Southern California. The first several chapters are of great interest. A summary of the things I found most interesting (in no special order).
1. From a native point of view, biologically male persons may have a male spirit, or a female spirit, or a mixture of the two, or a spirit that is neither. (This contrasts greatly with Western Judeo-Christian culture which sees only an either/or possibility.)
2. In terms of this study, berdaches are always male. But their spirit is either male and female together, or something other than either. With very few exceptions, they are known and honored in most native cultures, world-wide.
3. Many myths tell of a time when people existed prior to any sexual differentiation. Berdaches may be embodiments of that pre-differentiation androgyny. They tend to be of great power. Myths characterize them as particularly inventive (creative).
4. Berdaches are not necessarily shamans. Shamans and berdaches have different functions, but there are a number of similarities. For example: a berdache becomes such because he is fated to, "by his nature and his dreams," usually around age 10-12.
5. One of main functions of berdaches is ceremonial roles, acting out performances; the author notes the cross-cultural tendency of gays toward theater, stage, acting roles.
6. He says shamans do a lot by way of performance too, but they are therapists more than actors. The comment on status is especially interesting: shamanic status in native cultures is determined by how well the individual shaman can relate to the spirit world for the benefit of the community. The author notes that there is still male-male competition, as in "civilized" cultures, but that the content is not concerned with putting others down so much as seeking honor as one who most helps "the people to live".
7. Although berdaches are not necessarily shamans, most have some shamanic power, a "speciality." They are often sought after by shamans for advice. One of their major roles is that of naming young boys, with lucky and funny/gross secret names, which confer great future power on the youths. (Alas, no examples are given.)
8. The basic NA attitude towards berdaches is one of respect, as toward any other wakan phenomenon, and there is also a fear of their potentially destructive power. But neither attitude prevents egalitarian joking relationships on the part of relatives. And even though the berdache's gayness is naturally an object of the jokes, it does not mean any disdain for him for that reason.
9. B's are often called seers: they can see things from both male and females points of view, and are especially valued for that (just as anything different is valued as wakan in native cultures).
10. They see themselves as different, too, precisely in that they see things differently from others. (They emphasize that this "difference" is a separate thing from their being attracted to other males.) Their ability to "see" often allows them to be prophetic (in the narrow sense of being able to predict the future).
11. "When nature burdens a man it also gives him a power." Besides naming and predicting the future, other common powers include having a central role in blessing ceremonies (as for example blessing the tree-pole for a sun dance) and offering spiritual protection. (That last I wasn't clear about. I hope to go back to it.) (Later: No luck.)
12. In childhood, he experiences himself not so much as feminine as other, unique, more individual in his interests and concerns: more androgynous than feminine.
13. Westerns ask: "How did this kid get that way and what can we do to help him? " Native peoples ask: "What has this wakan person to offer for the benefit of all of us?"
14. B's tend to be highly intelligent, make good teachers (of older kids) and good care-givers of adults, the elderly, etc. They are better at most female work roles than woman (stronger, tire less quickly, not interrupted by monthly periods, etc.) Often make very good parents (of adopted children). Not good at early child care.
15. In terms of sexual activity, they always have the role of the "insertee" (rather than the "inserter"); they consider sex with another berdache to be (unacceptable) incest.
16. They are biologically male but female in many non-biological ways. They often emphasize cleanliness, personal looks, quality clothes, and interior decorating, "just like urban gays." But they do not abandon the male competitive drive for prestige: they just seek it in ways other than hunting and raiding. At death they may be buried in female clothing, but on the male side of the cemetery.
17. Their non-macho form of manhood is greatly honored. They are in fact recognized as a "third gender," while in our culture it leaves the individual open to tremendous stress. As does-- my whole point-- having a vocation to a shamanic personality.

AUTHOR Lappe, Marc.
TITLE Evolutionary medicine : rethinking the origins of disease PUBLISHER San Francisco : Sierra Club Books, c1994.

This is written in unnecessarily clinical/academic-- and unreadable-- style. A big disappointment. Just not fun.
THE TRANSITION FROM SHAMANISM TO RUSSIAN ORTHODOXY IN ALASKA, by S.A. Mousalimas (Berghahn Books, 1994)
Despite the lack of even the slightest evidence of editorial responsibility on the part of the publishers, and the utterly atrocious style of the author, this is a fascinating book. Indeed, I think it might be said to be an important book.
I know of no other text which has tried to deal with shamanism and Orthodoxy. And beyond that, of no other text which has attempted, as this one has, to set out so explicitly Patristic texts concerning the early (pre-dualistic and Augustinian) Christian perspectives on nature and the created world.
Alas, I can't tell what the author's purpose is. I think this is essentially a sociology text, but I'm not really sure. Certainly it is a demonstration of erudition, and I guess we can't expect much more in terms of reader-friendliness from an Oxford PhD thesis. And the author's typical Orthodox xenophobic hostility (extended here even to the Orthodox Church in America) is laughable. But there's gold in this pile of bullshit!
What struck me most was that, with some reference to Jungian perspectives on images and archetypes, the core of this book could be a major contribution to 21st century understanding of religious experience. It could go a long way toward the recovery, both inside and outside the churches, of what once was the experience of "everyone, everywhere."
And it could be invaluable for supplying the foundations of a 21st century environmental spirituality that would be simultaneously both Christian/Patristic and human/paleolithic.
Personally, I especially enjoyed the description of the hunter's reverence for the bones of the game animals as atonement, "restoring harmony" (pp 120-121). And the author's quotes: of M. Eliade's observation that sighing and tears are a central motif of Pascha: "All nature sighs, awaiting the Resurrection;" and of Dostoyevsky's "all creation, all creatures ... weep to Christ." (Helps me to make a little better sense of my present calling.)
The author's mention of English terms used to translate "ecstasy" is enlightening. In Psalm 115, when David exclaims, "I said in my ecstasy...", the King James bible says "haste," and the Revised Standard Version uses "consternation." Both say "madness" in place of ecstasy in translating Zachariah 12:4, and Peter's ecstasy in Acts 10 and 11 becomes "a trance." The author does an excellent job in spelling out what ecstasy really means, and does it-- remarkably-- without any reference to Jungian functions of consciousness or intuition. I especially like his definition of shaman as one who is in touch with the powers of the world and so can do extraordinary things.
AUTHOR Angela, Piero, 1928-
TITLE The extraordinary story of human origins / Piero and Alberto Angela; translated from the Italian by Gabriele Tonne ; illustrations by
Valter Fogato.
PUBLISHER Buffalo, N.Y. : Prometheus Books, 1993.
SUBJECTS Man -- Origin. * Human evolution.
This contains some neat drawings. I shared them with the HS Science Club.
The tribal self : an anthropologist reflects on hunting, brain, and behavior / Ron Wallace. University Press of America, 1991.
This is a gem of a book: barely 150 small sized pages, large type, each essay hardly more than three or four pages maximum, each dealing with some aspect of human behavior from the point of view of brain functioning and anthropological data about human evolution. No jargon; just down to earth comments and thoughts.
A few of the ideas that stayed with me:
1. Focusing one's attention and classifying or categorizing things is a pleasurable, possibly even addictive, behavior. The brain actually releases opiates when we do such things. (Reason seems to be the need for quick attention to calls for scavenging in humanity's early pre-hunting phase, and competent and quick classification of other creatures also competing for the same scavenging opportunity.)
2. In contrast to feminist views, male are indeed different and in fact fragile (as the more expendable sex, more subject to evolutionary experimentation; thus, for example, there are more male geniuses but also more retarded males, etc.) "Sperm is cheap."
3. Related: males have been split within themselves for millions of years by the need to be "gentle at home but tough 'out there.'"
4. Woman tend to fight a lot among themselves, and because they tend to focus on family, even when they have positions of power do not contribute much socially. (Biological reason seems to be that females in hunting cultures-- and earlier anthropoid societies-- come from outside the small hunting band and thus do not instinctively promote the survival of genes found there, other than their own. In contrast, the males in the band have to be biologically related and stay together to know one another well, for success/survival in the hunt.)
5. Clearest description I've ever seen of biological cause of gayness. The fetal transformation of the basic female-form into male, which takes place around 6th week of fetal development, and which is determined by presence of male-chromosomes in zygote, is clearly distinguished from the process by which drive for mating with opposite sex is established, around 3rd month of pregnancy. The hormones which affect this instinctive drive are suppressed in fetuses of women exposed to major environmental stresses; the result is a normally care-giving, but non-reproducing male: an evolutionary survival strategy. (The process is verified by animal research, and studies of mothers of gay sons indicate a large proportion indeed claim to have been subject to major stresses during the pregnancy.) Fascinating!
6. Of great personal interest are the author's comments concerning the shamanic world view. Just as we have the capacity for language wired into our brains, with the details (of given languages) coming from our cultural situation, so he says we also have wired into our brains basic myth patterns, again with the specific forms (particular spirit-powers, gods) coming from our cultural situation. The "patterns" emerge into consciousness during "ceremonies" (specifically via drumming, he notes) and are thus available for healing, etc. He conclusion is amazing: "While all this no doubt really works, we should leave it alone. We should honor it by having nothing to do with it, because it requires a sacred world view, from which we have come too far to go back. We should stick with our sterile secular stethoscopes." [Note added 2012: What an amazing example of the modern world's fear of the sacred!]

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 16, 2016
Lanteria LLC (http://www.lanteria.com), company that provides innovative HR management solutions based on Microsoft SharePoint, today announced the release of the new 4.4.0 version, that dramatically changes the system's appearance and functionality.
The first thing users will notice is the improved design of the system.
"Lanteria developers have always striven for clean and simple style, but in this version the interface became even more intuitive," says Kayne Kreitzer, Lanteria's Director of Sales & Operations. "Now users can always find what they need where they need it, in just one click. For example, in the latest version all the configuration settings can be found, already combined into a single integrated subsystem, located in the Settings menu - easy to access and setup."
Lanteria HR starts traditionally with a dashboard that shows all the main processes in the company on simple and colorful charts. 3 new dashboards were added in the new version: for Compensation, Performance and Learning modules of the system, to extend users' knowledge about all structural changes made within their organization. This information can be easily exported into updated Report Builder, where users can design any kind of report they need, using sample templates or creating custom ones.
New version of Lanteria HR provides the advanced time-tracking feature: Clock In / Clock Out. Now you can track time, spent on various activities, by clicking special button on each page of the system. Calculated time will be saved automatically to your Timesheets.
The system now comes with a predefined content, such as initial configuration settings, approval and review workflow templates, sample forms for performance reviews, and a number of letters and certificates to significantly simplify the HR tasks.
HR managers will definitely appreciate the new system's ability to customize forms using Ribbon Editor. With Ribbon Editor it's easy to deactivate and hide tabs, groups and actions on the ribbon instead of deleting them, if the functionality is not needed at the moment.
The new version of Lanteria HR empowers users to export selected employee data and employees' salary details into a .csv file and upload it to an FTP server or send it by e-mail on a regular basis.
Recruiting module has got a number of enhancements. The real-time statistic on vacancies, candidates and interviews is now available for managers. Managing vacancies, updating candidate statuses and adding notes became easier with onscreen buttons.
Some major edits were also made in the Learning Catalog. Its functionality was enhanced, now offering powerful search tools, filtering, and ability to add and view additional details on courses.
Performance review form is more easy-to-use now: it became easy to navigate through the sections, focus on specific content and export the whole form to PDF with one click.
The new version of Lanteria HR is already available for use both on premises and in a cloud.

|TV Channel
WGN, ROOT-Rocky Mountain
The Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs face off on Friday at Coors field in game one of the MLB series.
The Colorado Rockies got the season started on the right foot sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. The Rockies have an early one game lead in the NL West and outscored the Brewers 20-6 in the three game series. As a team the Rockies are hitting .322 with Nolan Arenado hitting .462, Troy Tulowitzki hitting .429, and Corey Dickerson hitting .417. The Rockies pitching staff has an ERA of 1.93 with both the starters and the bullpen coming in at that number. For Friday's game the Rockies start lefty Tyler Matzek who was 6-11 with a 4.05 ERA last season striking out 91 over 117.2 innings.
The Chicago Cubs split their season opening series with the Cardinals one game each with one game getting postponed. The Cubs are 1.5 games behind the Reds in the NL Central standings after scoring just two runs in their first two games. As a team the Cubs are hitting just .125 with Sarlin Castro hitting .286, Chris Coughlan hitting .167, and Jorge Soler hitting .143. The Cubs pitching staff has an ERA of 1.50 with the starters at 2.38 and the bullpen at 0.00. For game one in Colorado the Cubs start Travis Wood who went 8-13 with a 5.03 ERA last season striking out 146 over 173.2 innings.
Colorado is 10-1 as a home favorite, 21-8 in their last 29 home games, 9-28 in game one of a series, and 5-13 in Matzek's last 18 starts. Chicago is 3-8 in their last 11 road games, 1-5 against the NL West, 5-1 as a road underdog, and 2-5 in Wood's last seven starts. Chicago is 4-13 in their last 17 games in Colorado.
The total is et at a hefty 10 but I see this one stil eclipsing that number though it isn't a play I love. My stronger play in this one is on the winner and I will post that in the Premium Area as well as on the App. Mitch's Picks are also always available indivually at Picks and Parlays.

Welcome to Thrive Christians. "Now to Him (Jesus Christ) who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21. NKJV

Peace of Mind is Thriving
I try to encompass the abundant life that is secured for me through Jesus ;and yet I know I never fully grasp it's truth. Today I ran across an article by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin in the Daily Lift. I love reading interpretation of Hebrew wording because I find it helps me understand the Bible more clearly.
Rabbi Pliskin wrote on tranquility. He explained there are two terms for tranquility - "shalvah" and "menuchah." He points out that they seem similar but in truth, they contradict each other.
Shalvah refers to a situation in which a person is not missing anything in life. He has everything he wants and therefore has no worries. He has a nice house with all the furnishings he can ask for. He has a large amount of cash handy to purchase whatever he wants. His business is going well, and all of his property and possessions are entirely safe. He has no enemies who would want to cause him harm. There is peace in his world. He is entirely healthy. He is respected and people accept his opinion. He has no competitors who are striving to diminish is stature. He has no obligations to others. He is successful at whatever he does. This is shalvah.
And it's a negative trait.
Why? Because if you feel that everything must be perfect, you are in danger that if the details of your life are not to your liking, you will suffer. The many difficulties that arise in your life will prevent you from experiencing pleasure and peace of mind.
Menuchah, on the other hand, is a virtue. It is a state in which a person lives with peace of mind since he does not need anything! Not because he has all he would wish for, but because his attitude is one of accepting his present situation.
He will be aware that all benefits and damages in life are dependent on the will of the Almighty. He has trust that whatever is decreed for him is what will occur. If he has what he would like, that is good; and if he is not able to get it, that, too, is for the good.
He does not feel anxiety about possible misfortunes. He knows that "every bullet has its special address," and he wants only that which the Almighty chooses for him. If you attain the trait of menuchah, you will feel inner peace regardless of your financial situation and whether or not you have the approval of others.
The person who has reached this level of not needing all that he would wish for is saved from all kinds of frustration. People will not have anything to criticize him for. Even if someone does wrongly accuse him of anything, he does not take it to heart. He knows that he is being accused in error, and is able to feel an inner joy. This level is called menuchah.
This blog, Thrive Christian, is written with a focus on celebrating the life Jesus Christ redeemed for me and all other believers. As I read Rabbi Pliskin's words I realized this is THAT attitude that sets Christians apart from the world. Menuchah: is perfected peace of mind that Jesus secured for me.... no matter what my $, health, or life looks like.
This one verse is core to my life: John 10:10 (New King James Version)
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
In this anxiety filled world do you know this peace? Thrive Christian Blog is wanting to hear about peace no matter what's going on in your life.

A Time To Laugh
Last night 3 wonderful funny Christian young people (young ... compared to me; seems everyone is young compared to me!) met at my home for our first work session on "A Time Laugh" comedy troupe. For over 6 months we have discussed turning our zany coping humor into a ministry. Recently someone asked me how I walked out my call to minister. I shared all the burning passions in my heart and to my surprise this woman asked if the comedy group would give a presentation in July.
We have a gig (hope I got that right), and last night we came together to brainstorm ideas. In my writing and in this venture I have concluded that to intentionally try to be funny IS NOT FUNNY!
But last night was powerful. I don't know when I've ever laughed so much in one evening. The four of us range in age from 26 year old Ryan, 30 year old Stacie, 38 year old Laura, and me: a card carrying senior of 65. You'd never put us together, but God did. We have some common threads in our histories: born in trauma, issues with challenging beginnings, and from earliest childhood we recall laughing in the middle of crisis. But most of all we share a passion for doing whatever we can for others to know the peace and joy and fulfillment we know through Jesus Christ.
Talking about pulling off "A Time To Laugh" has been replaced with action. Rehearsal on our brainstorming is coming up soon and I can't wait. Hopefully I've stirred you up with a dream in your heart that you will do more than talk about it. Take Action...jump in, the water's fine!!!

Impact Resistant
I'm pondering if I have sought to become impact resistant to avoid pain. How else could a compassionate responsible woman go on about my day to day living without spending more time praying for the needs of others? I don't want to fall to pieces, but the alternative is worse: I could become impact resistant.
Coming through the grief process of my husband's death and some other losses I fear I've become so concerned with surviving, I may have become too cautious about my emotional well being. When I read the statistics on how little time folks pray, I'm ahead of the average. I remember a time when I prayed with passion every day for all those laying heavy on my heart.
Today I pray for God's ideal in my heart sensitivity. Daily I'm setting aside a specific time to pray with empathy for those around me. Whatever impact resisstance I have developed in self surival, I'm believing compassion takes over and God brings me to be what pleases Him.

Flashlight in the Darkness
But it didn't take long after the hugs and hello's to feel the pain of the need of jobs. I work for the extras in my life as a retiree. The rest of this crew needs to work for necessities. One woman suggested we form a support working group to meet together regularly to fine tune resumes and practice interview techniques, etc.
Now, we have a schedule to meet every other week to network with one another to learn each other's skills and desires for full time employment. As we birthed this little work group I suddenly realized I can head this group with great ease and delight. I've been schooled for decades in small group leadership for ministry and business.
For a few years I've felt God calling me to KNOW that each moment I'm living is the most important moment of my life. I can tend to dream of the future longingly or nostalgically look back in the past. But if I live in Christ fully in each moment in the NOW I take care of the past as it comes moment by moment and the future is most unpredictable.
So...last night was the fruit of me living in the NOW. I have 20 people who enjoy following my lead. They have a common goal of needing full time or part-time work. By far, they are the best team of committed smart positive workers I've ever seen. I have contacts and people of influence that I can bring to this group. In a dark time I sense God is shining His light onto us all. I may only be pocket-size flashlight in these folks' darkness, but when the lights are dim or out, any light is a help.
You smart blog readers may have helps for these unemployed sharp motivated workers. Please send in your advice, website addresses, book titles, etc.
"Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven..."
Shine where you are. Jesus shining through you and me is Heaven come to earth.

Weeds and Yard Flowers
In prayer I realized the humble hydrangea and Queen Anne's lace and other roadside weeds could work. But it turned out that seeing it was only part of the wonder. Seems hydrangeas will wilt on you if you don't know how to handle them. So days before the event I was out harvesting these gorgeous blooms.
Here's the trick to keep Hydrangeas from drooping:
1. Cut early in the day.
2. Cut on the diagonal.
3. Pierce with pin
4. Dip in boiling water for 20 seconds
5. Place in cool water and let sit for 2 days
6. Add Sprite to the water
Weeds and Queen's Anne lace:
1. Cut early in the day
2. Let soak in water for a day
Organza cloths made from cloth bought at bargain basement sell out and thousands of blooms in thrift shop vases turned a gym into a summer wonderland.
A week of work paid off. Senators, volunteers, bank executives, state officials, graduates of ex offender programs and their families, etc. were blessed with a wonderland evening of celebrating the goodness of God in miraculous ways.
Those in charge of the food prepared the most delicious and beautiful food. What a night!!
Somehow those weeds and yard flowers make me think of some of our saints who have come from the most humble places. I'm one of those!!! It's taken a lot of preparation to get me to be a use able part of the Body of Christ. Somehow I don't think Apostle Peter or Apostle Paul were easy parts of the Body!!!
Those hydrangeas and weeds were more beautiful than the most expensive florist's flowers I've ever seen. I hope I hold that image in my mind forever. When a troubled soul needs much preparation to be a part of the Body of Christ may I learn from Holy Spirit how to keep them "hydrated" and prevent them from "wilting."

Procrastination Fungus
BUT yesterday the email arrived telling me a cancellation had opened a spot for me. My immediate reaction was Yahoo!! Yippee! Then reality rushed in and I realized my procrastination had worked a number on me again. I have several writing projects partially completed. I have 6 weeks to finish these to be in place for the conference. I've come a long way in slaying this internal dragon: Procrastination. It's obvious to me I still have to fight to rid myself of this self sabotage.
My funniest procrastination saga is my dream to publish a procrastination blog that will offer wisdom and helps for other strugglers. I've had this dream in my heart for over a year. Perfectionism has joined forces with procrastination to entangle my dreams. Best I can figure it will take a sharp machete to cut the vine jungle down to free myself to take action.
This blog was one the fruits of my first She Speaks Conference last year. Women from all over the nation and a few other countries come together to earnestly pursue the dreams and visions God has placed in their hearts. The passionate love of the Lord teamed with a fervent willingness to work set this conference apart from many others I have attended.
Blog posts will probably shorten up while I'm smoking away on this laptop to make up the time I spent digging into housecleaning and decorating. Got to go.......God bless you all.

Road Rage Ain't Saintly
Yesterday I 'fessed up to my fleshly unsanctified attitude with line breakers in waiting lines. May I say it bugs me the most in conference or church settings. Last night I discussed this with a friend over dinner. She didn't give me one ounce of mercy. Oh, no...my dear friend pointed out how upset I got driving on our recent trip to a large city.
Oh, my she's right. Not only do I need to confess and repent of bad attitude anger in waiting lines, but now I've got to look at the real me in some traffic situations. I know you blog readers will understand:
We were lost. My Tom Tom gps was "running his know it all mouth," the red light turned to green, and we took one little moment to think and "toot!!! toot!!!" blared the horn behind me. I quickly made a left ...well, I was in the left turn lane. Then the car rode my bumper for two whole blocks laughing at me. You guessed it! Mild mannered Kay turned into nose pumping smoke red faced non-cussing hothead. I got in the far right lane as soon as possible and let the impatient rude impertinent road hog menace get by me. Ain't it wonderful to see how well I have processed all of this? Anyway I then got behind this car. I wanted to repay like with like, but then something...probably Merciful Gracious Holy Spirit...got my better self in line. My friend laughed and laughed and still laughs about Saint Kay behind the wheel in downtown traffic.
Well with my halo slipping off my head I ask "Is God still working on any of you being 'ticked off at the little things'?"
I hear a soft whisper in my thoughts, "little foxes." In Song of Solomon 2:15 God speaks, "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom."
I am a crisis queen: give me a full blown crisis and I will amaze you. But in the everyday hum drum I don't always walk in ways that emulate Christ. Marion Bond West Acuff, Guidepost writer and friend, once told me that she and I reigned so well in crisis we probably create one just to wear the crown. Oops... I think I'm past that drama need, but I do see I have much to learn in "being angry" on what warrants it from God's perspective and walking it out in honesty and maturity for the good of all involved.
Today I'm processing all those little foxes placed in my life to steal my blessings and fruit of the Spirit. My dryer broke last week and my disposal is frozen but that's o.k. I won't act like it hasn't happened, but it will get the attention it warrants...no more.
It's summertime down here in Carolina. I ran across this poem that speaks of little irritants in the summer.
The chigger is no bigger
Than the end of a small pin;
But the itch that he raises
Simply amazes.
Don't sweat the small stuff!!!

Silly Stuff That Ticks Me Off
What's up? Kay, I thought you were the loving Christian who writes on strong gentleness; surrendered to Jesus as Lord; and loving your enermies. Yes, that's me. But in this process of growing in Christ; that part of old me still has to be harnessed. I've been writing on anger for a few weeks and I pondered yesterday on ordinary situations that tick me off. Line breaking hit my number one spot on stupid stuff that tempts me sorely.
God's command: be angry, but sin not; calls me to examine my anger. As I look at my foolishness I'm asking why this bugs me so much. I'm the first one to always insist that people in the grocery line to go ahead of me if I have a full shopping cart. I love being generous and gracious in driving or shopping situations to wave people on ahead. Why would I have to suppress all kinds of poor behavior when somene in lines jump ahead of me?
Looking back on my childhood I may have a clue for this irrational anger. I changed schools 8 times in 12 years; and usually those where extreme crisis situations. Somehow I sense that this irritation stems back to school days and my low status of being the "new" kid in class. Seems I recall loving the teachers that would not tolerate line breakers. As I write this I'm smiling at the absurdity of caring if someone goes ahead of me if I'm in no time crunch. Perhaps this self examination is a piece of "be angry, but sin not."
Most irrational behaviors or mind traps have a root in our childhood (so the behavior experts say). Dare you share your recurring ticked off stuff? Remembering I'm gathering data for a book.

God's Commands: 1: Fear Not 2: Be Angry
As I'm thinking and praying about anger and being whole in Christ I suddenly find myself thinking on what the Bible shows us God commands us to do; and what He clearly warns us not to do:
Be angry, but do not sin.
Fear not.
I've read that there are 365 instances of God telling us His people "Fear Not."
I'm encouraged that He says this over and over; I can't be the only one that deals with fear in some way or another 365 days in the year.
I bring up fear because I'm convinced that anger and fear occur together when we become "unglued." Self control of anger is tied to faith and trust in God to replace our fears.
Most Christians I know are never ashamed of their fears, but they deny any anger and would prefer for no one to know they've ever been angry.
Help me out ... have we flipped His design for us?

Avoid Conflict At All Costs
You blog readers have been terrific lately in responding to my anger prompts. Please don't let me down now.
What do you think about this...anger gets masked, ignored or stuffed trying to avoid conflict. Then in the "dark" it grows like a fungus.

Yes, I'm Angry, Mad, Ticked Off...And Still I'm A True Christian!
Your blog comments on anger have triggered many thoughts in me. Recently I've queried several folks on their thoughts on how to handle anger. These conversations along with your comments show me American Christian women may be the largest group struggling with repressed or misappropriated anger.
Yesterday David from Red Letter Believers said...
I have a person in my life who I recognize anger in, but she says she isn't angry, she's "not happy" or "disappointed in me" or "discouraged by my actions."Anger is anger and appreciate you calling it what it is!
A few weeks ago I fired up with anger that actually frightened me. I shared my experience in: Be Angry but Sin Not!!!
The drawing to further explore this comes from the positive benefits I have personally received by facing my anger; not dodging it; not rationalizing it and processing it in meditation with God. I am reading good Christian books to uncover what God means in commanding us to BE ANGRY, but sin not.
I read that scripture all my life this way:
Be angry, BUT SIN NOT.
For me the main thing was to do whatever I could in my own power to be sure unequivocally, that under no circumstances, in any instance, with anyone, that I absolutely did not sin with my anger....and oh, yeah, be sure before I went to bed or before the sun came up ... I did NOT go to bed or sleep still angry!
As my faith grows that God is who He says He is in the Bible, I find I am willing to dare to be honest and true with little ole me. Instead of sugar coating what's going on in me; I dare to look at it head on. In Christ, I am willing to admit "I'm angry."
God's mercy and compassion have become clear to me in the last year. If I had one thing I would hope to convey to any of you reading this today it would be: You cannot measure how great is His love and understanding of your honest pursuit of pleasing Him no matter what breaks, blows up or flips upside down. Perfection isn't His command. Receive His love and love Him back and trust Him in all things.... this makes for the most glorious life.
Anger...God placed anger in His original plan for men and women. I'm praying, listening and learning what His design for anger is; and how we can comply with our original Manufacturer's intent!!!

Saint, What Do You Do With Your Anger?
Clean humor and laughter
Thrive In Christ
For several months we will center on this book to pursue Thriving in our Christian journey.
Neil challenges us with: "Do you know who you are in God's eyes? We are no longer products of our past. We are primarily products of Christ's work on the cross. Who we are determines what we do.
You are not who you are in Christ because of the things you have done, you are in Christ because of what He has done. He died and rose again so that you and I could live in the FREEDOM of His love."
That's just the introduction. More to follow.

Punik Escape Game - Recapture from Mysterious Thief Gold is another Japanese point and click type rooom escape game. In this escape game, again you need to search around to collect items and clues in order to escape the room by using them on proper places. Good luck!!!
Play Punikin Escape
Turn right, to the kitchen. It's time to start collecting the multiple, various, counter-intuitive and oh-so-many items you will need to complete this game. Pick up the following:
1. What appears to be cocoa powder, from cabinet. While you're in that view, click up and get ID card, too.
2. Strange while object (candle) and bucket from under stove/sink cabinets.
3. Pink thing from counter.
4. Apple and glasses from bottom and top drawers, respectively.
5. Banana from fridge.
While you're here, stick that banana in the freezer. I know, it seems crazy, but trust me when I tell you that it will seem even crazier later.
Also, fill the bucket with water. It's heavy to carry around, but you have to do it.
Also, shake that hood thing above the sink until the key falls down. You can't get it yet, so just leave it for now.
Turn right again. See that brown door? Go through it. Pick up a whole lot more items:
1. four, count 'em, four fliers with phone numbers on them. There is also a number on the thing on the table, which you can zoom in and look at if you want to. There is some lack of clarity about whether or not you need to dial any or all of these numbers.
2. three pieces of a wooden stool. They really should go together, and if you click on "about item" with the big one, you might be able to assemble them. Keep trying, it seems to be finicky about this.
Notice how, even if you succeed there's still a nail sticking out? You're going to have to pound that in somehow. Despite the fact that you have like fifty-seven items already, however, there doesn't seem to be anything to pound with. Hmmmmm.......
Back up. You're at the shelves. Pick up tank, little blue thing, hose, green AIR thing, light blue bottle, fish food, and picture of your beloved fishies.
awwwwwwwww....... cute fishies.
Turn left and go back to the kitchen again. Get the banana out of the freezer and use it to pound in that nail on the stool. Do NOT say I didn't warn you about the insanity.
Go right twice. see that big box? pick it up.
Now, check it out in about items. Open it! WOW! There's..... another box inside. Cool. I wonder what's in THAT box? It must be pretty special to be packaged up so carefully. Go on, open it and find out. I'll wait.
yeah, it's another box. This goes on for quite a while.
In the same view, take your footstool (all banana pounded and sound to stand on now, and use it to feel around the top of that air conditioner vent or whatever it is until you get a hand on a stick.
That's right. A hand on a stick. Examine it. Now you have a hand on a LONG stick. Just what you need to reach that key in the kitchen. Go get the key and come on back.
flip through the calendar until you find a safe. Use the kitchen vent key to open it. Get the little piece of circuitry. But then, click up to find a new view, remove the false back, and get the bigger piece of circuitry. You are correct in thinking that they go together. Put them together.
Turn right again. That's correct: this room has five sides. I don't know why either. I also do not know why anyone would fishnap your beloved pet and hide him in a high-tech, secret underground vault. But there is evil in the world, it seems, and you must fight it with bizarre items hidden around a strange room. Be glad they are not harder to find.
Anyway, see that clock? Use your handy stool to get it. Examine it, too. Weird code on the back! Cool! Confusing!!! See that weird machine? What's that? Take a look at it through the glasses, and see what that does.
Whoa. THAT can't be good.
And now, turn right. You're back where you started. Open the door. You might need to do this with the pink key selected. You might not. In any case, when you do it properly (whatever that means) someone will deliver a G to you.
Yes, A "G"
It SHOULD fit in the G-shaped hole in the weird machine from the previous screen, but it doesn't. Evil in the world again, I guess. Go to the kitchen, instead.
Turn on the burner, light the candle, and use it to burn the G. I know. Just do it.
Now it fits in the weird machine. Good. You're ready to move to the maze. Get ready.
Okay, you have to get through that door behind the weird machine to get to the maze and rescue fishy. You can actually die here, and you KNOW you don't want to go back and collect all those items again, so do the steps carefully.
FIRST, you swipe the ID card to open the door. DO NOT GO THROUGH THE DOOR YET. Unless you want to see that screen and start over, then go ahead.
SECOND, put on the glasses. The "G" has made the lasers flash on and off.
THIRD, wait for them to go off. Click the door QUICKLY while they are off. You're in the maze!!!!
Now, the maze has two levels. You are in the upper level now. You control your movements using those four green arrows, and you make a map just above them as you go. The red arrow is you. Use this to figure out where stuff is. In the upper level you need to get what I guess is a router box. It's toward the bottom left, but not quite at the very bottom. You also need to find the ladder to the lower level. It's at the top left corner.
Feel free to explore the rest of the maze if you like that sort of thing, but I can tell you that the scenery is pretty uniform.
On the lower level, right at the base of the ladder, is where you put that router box. Better do it now before the minotaur eats you.
Now, find you way to the bottom right corner of the map. There will be a green door there. Click red button and then forward arrow to go in. Pick up that key. Click the grey button and stick the upsidedown clock in the slot. Wow. I guess it made sense after all. Click the grey button again for a SECRET ROOM!
Actually, now is maybe a good time to go up that ladder and see where it goes. The key you picked up opens the padlock.
Rats! All that for nothing! While you're up here, check out the computer. When it loads, notice the server name (goldserver). Go back down the ladder and enter the secret room.
Geez this is a long game. Am starting to regret writing this.
Okay, now check out your apple. I don't know why it's an apple, but it is. Use the mysterious kitchen counter pink thing on it. It'll give you a user name (gold) and password (kaito). Use them on the computer.
Once you're in, click on that icon that looks like the vault. When you're in it, just type "goldserver" and it should connect you. At least, if you've actually looked at the upstairs computer it should.
Okay, now use your pink circuit thingy on the computer. Here is where you solve the color puzzle first figured out by Ragtolin. His post above (number 80) has a helpful screenshot. If it were me, I'd rep him or get him a little gift or something for that. Not that you would make the same choice, of course. You do whatever you think is best.
look at the groups of three colored dots at the bottom of the circuit you put on the screen: there should be four groups of three. For each group of three, you can use the color wheel that the always fabulous Ragtolin provided to figure out what those colors combine to make.
For example, R B G together make white.
RBW make magenta
GBW make cyan
RGW make yellow
Then, set the four buttons to those colors and hit enter. You have to do this twice. The screen will then stop accepting input, and when you back up, the vault will be open.
The vault is open. Go get your fishy! Hello, fishy fishy! How I've missed you! You are a good and clever fishy and a wonderful pet. Let us never be parted again!
You're almost done. Go up the ladder and back to the very first screen with the door. Open the door. Click on the open door. Once you do, you should be able to add things to the bucket, which luckily is already filled with water. They are light blue bottle, fishy (ah, fishy!), and cocoa powder. Now you can finally leave the house.
Keep clicking arrows until you get to a room with a table for your fish. Perhaps it is a room of your own. For a fish of your own. I certainly hope it is.
Now, you must set up a home for fishy fishy. Not to be confused with mrfishy here. She's not your fish. So please treat her with respect and courtesy.
To set up, click in this order: tank, bucket with fish and accoutrements, weird blue thing, tube, green air thing, fish food.
Awwwwww. Look at that. Fishy missed you too. That's nice.
Now, you can either call the police at this point (dial 110 on your phone and page through some japanese) or you can let the meanies that did this to your poor innocent fish go free.
It's your choice. Some would say a little japanese paging is a small price to pay for a pet of this caliber. But again, it's totally up to you.
Now click on the coin that has appeared in your inventory. Now click on it again.

The multiple Grammy Award musician, producer, co-founder of the band Chic and also chairman of the We Are Family Foundation was there for a special visit to its manufacturing ateliers and had chance to see some of Girard-Perregaux watch masters at work and was also able to assemble a few parts of a watch himself.
The visit of the ateliers went on with the cocktail event which celebrated the partnership between Girard-Perregaux and the We Are Family Foundation.
It was great to assist to a live performance of Nile Rodgers with some of Girard-Perregaux young watchmakers who have a passion for music.
During the cocktail event, CEO of Girard-Perregaux and Sowind Group Michele Sofisti went on stage to give Rodgers the limited edition version of the Shadow Hawk watch that bears the heart of the We Are Family Foundation's logo on the dial and a dedicated engraving on the back case. It is an all black zircunium ceramic timepiece which is contemporary, bold and sleek. Visible througj the case's sapphire back, the caliber GP03300 , a mechanical, selfwinding chronograph movement, drives this very high performance piece.
The relationship betweeen Girard Perregaux and the We Are Family Foundation started in 2013 with the "Changing Watch" event in New York City, during which the brand honoured the Foundation's mission to nurture and amplify today's young visionaires who will inhabit the world of tomorrow.
"We were honoured to have Nile visit our ateliers and witness the creative process that is at chore of watchmaking" says Michele Sofisti. "In addition there is a great connection between Girard-Perregaux and the We Are Family Foundation. We both nurture young talents who will be the keepers of tradition in the future."
The event was really lovely and intimate, it was great to see Nile Rodgers performing live with the young talents of Girard Perregaux. I personally think is admirable everything Nile is doing for the We Are Family Foundation, and the partnership with Girard-Perregaux seems a match made in heaven!

If you hope to study abroad during your time at Bard, please speak with your Spanish professor as soon as possible. Your professor can help you devise a study plan that will take your semester/year abroad into account, as well as provide you with materials for the programs listed below and others. Bard also has a study abroad coordinator, Trish Fleming (firstname.lastname@example.com) who will help you to complete the paperwork so that your credits will transfer to Bard.
Although Bard does not directly sponsor any semester or year abroad programs in Spain or Latin America, we have several programs that we can recommend if you wish to truly immerse yourself in the language and culture of the Spanish-speaking world. Among others, these include:
- Academic Year Abroad (AYA) for a semester or year in Madrid (scholarships available)
- Institute for Study Abroad (IFSA, through Butler University) for a semester or year in Latin America
- Spanish Studies Abroad (SSA) and Academic Programs International (API) for selected sites in both Spain in Latin America
If you are planning to major in Spanish Studies, a semester abroad is considered a requirement, though we do recognize that exceptions must sometimes be made. In order to qualify for a program that will place you in challenging classes, often with native speakers, you must have completed the equivalent of 4 or 5 semesters of college Spanish (Bard's 202 or 301/302, respectively). Summer programs can be fun and informative, but if your goal is to experience a true cultural immersion and to make significant advances in your mastery of the Spanish language, we strongly recommend at least a full semester abroad. If you are searching on your own (studyabroad.com can be a useful tool), look for programs that require at least a 3.0/4.0 GPA. When considering housing arrangements, we strongly encourage you to live with a host family: students who study abroad often report that this was the most meaningful aspect of their time abroad.

As I've commented, we don't have a TV (although, thanks to the miracle of Netflix, we've seen almost all of the Sopranos, the Unit and Dexter, and the Wire is rising in our queue). But I'm not unaware of TV culture – here in LA, the bus shelters are billboards and many (most?) of the ads are for TV shows. Note that I personally decided a few years ago that as long as the City is giving away the store to rich corporations (like Cirque de Soleil) they should just give the bus stop billboards to women's clothing line Bebe and improve the mood of half of the City's commuters. Their billboards are, um, deeply aesthetic and enriching in a kind of rich puchritudinous Carvaggio way.
If you know what I mean.
Back to my point…the current crop of non-Bebe billboards are all for either Dexter as a dad or a show called 'Trauma', which you know is about selfless EMT because they all the beautiful actors are out in the field with coveralls selfless looks and blue nitrile gloves.
Now I've never seen Trauma, and if I play my cards in life right, I never will.
But…it has triggered what may be the last funny Downfall hack, after which one hopes we can put the genre to bed. hat tip to the Ambulance Driver blog…
I'm a trained First Responder, and have nothing but respect for the folks who drive the ambulances that show up when things go all pear-shaped. I'd like to remind them that this, too shall pass. And that maybe the TV show will lead to some of the Bebe models applying for jobs driving…
