In today's business world reputation is everything when selling your goods or services to the masses at large. Goodwill, the inherent reputation of your goods or services, can easily overreach beyond the mere confides of countries, continents, or even the solar system. With this in mind, how far a business' goodwill can, and does, reach is hugely important, especially when it comes to someone passing off their goods or services as a famous brands' equivalents. What makes things even more complex is the nature of the online world we are all a part of, which has a wholly borderless reach (excluding geo-blocking), and in which anyone can pass themselves off as someone or something else without much difficulty. This begs the question: how far does your goodwill extend, even if you have no or very little presence in a given territory, due to your goodwill online? The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom endeavored to answer this question only a little over a month ago.
The case in question was Starbucks (HK) Limited and another v British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC and others, which concerned the use of IPTV, or in more simplistic terms, the streaming of TV via the Internet using dedicated hardware to do so, very much like cable TV but in an online environment. Starbucks (HK) and PCCW Media Ltd, two corporate members of a larger group (referred to as "PCCM" in the judgment as a whole), which operated an IPTV service called "NOW BROADBAND TV", subsequently renamed to "NOW TV", in Hong Kong, being the largest entity in its respective IPTV business in the country. Most of the channels offered through the NOW TV service are in Chinese, and are not accessible in the United Kingdom, although some people in the UK had been identified as being aware of the service. PCCM had since considered expanding internationally, and did so by launching a mobile app called NOW aimed at the Chinese-speaking population in the UK. Prior to the launching of the app in the same year Sky announced its "NOW TV" on-demand service, which went into its beta phase roughly at the same time as the launching of PCCM's mobile app. PCCM subsequently sued Sky under the tort of passing off (more on which can be found here), with the case ending up all the way in the Supreme Court.
Passing off, as has been noted in the article above, hinges on three factors that need to be established in order to prove the tort of passing off: (i) goodwill or reputation in the goods or services provided in the minds of the purchasing public; (ii) a misrepresentation by the defendant to the public that leads or is likely to lead, the public to think the goods or services are provided by the plaintiff; and (iii) the plaintiff suffers, or is likely to suffer, damage as a result of this misrepresentation. PCCM established the latter two requirements at first instances, and therefore the Supreme Court had to decide on whether Sky's service fulfilled the first requirement, amounting to passing off.
The main question therefore to the Supreme Court was whether PCCM had goodwill in the jurisdiction in question, in other words a customer base, meaning the UK. As the court stated, reiterating Lord Justice Oliver in Anheuser-Buch v Budejovicky Budvar NP, that goodwill is very much "localized" and that "...reputation which may, no doubt, and frequently does, exist without any supporting local business… does not by itself constitute a property which the law protects". In other words, even if goods or services have a certain, even strong reputation to them, does not mean it inherently commands it everywhere, irrespective of actual use or not. This line of thinking very much confirms precedent from decades prior, where similar conclusions have been made as to the localized nature of goodwill.
After a presentation as to the law from both sides the Court finally discussed its decision on whether passing off, or goodwill, has a territorial nature to it. As Lord Neuberger remarked: "...I consider that we should reaffirm that the law is that a claimant in a passing off claim must establish that it has actual goodwill in this jurisdiction, and that such goodwill involves the presence of clients or customers in the jurisdiction for the products or services in question. And, where the claimant's business is abroad, people who are in the jurisdiction, but who are not customers of the claimant in the jurisdiction, will not do, even if they are customers of the claimant when they go abroad". To put Lord Neuberger's argument in different words, goodwill can only exist in a jurisdiction if its goods or services are used by actual customers in that jurisdiction, irrespective of foreign users who have emigrated or visit that jurisdiction (although, one would imagine, given a sufficient amount of immigrants this would be acceptable). As said, this is fully in line with older precedent, and also foreign authorities within the common law, as was put forth by Sky in its argument. PCCM had very little presence in the UK, although it did establish some user base did exist.
Finally, Lord Neuberger aimed to settle two questions that remained: "(i) clarification as to what constitutes sufficient business to give rise to goodwill as a matter of principle, and (ii) resolution of the judicial disagreement as to the jurisdictional division of goodwill".
In answering the first question Lord Neuberger quickly settled the matter by largely stating what has already been settled above: "The claimant must show that it has a significant goodwill, in the form of customers, in the jurisdiction, but it is not necessary that the claimant actually has an establishment or office in this country. In order to establish goodwill, the claimant must have customers within the jurisdiction, as opposed to people in the jurisdiction who happen to be customers elsewhere. Thus, where the claimant's business is carried on abroad, it is not enough for a claimant to show that there are people in this jurisdiction who happen to be its customers when they are abroad. However, it could be enough if the claimant could show that there were people in this jurisdiction who, by booking with, or purchasing from, an entity in this country, obtained the right to receive the claimant's service abroad.". Lord Neuberger's answer to the first question further establishes that a business has to have some form of customer base in a jurisdiction it wishes to protect its intellectual property in that jurisdiction, and that business would have to be, mostly at least, permanent in that jurisdiction, rather than just transient.
The answer to the second question leads to a much wider discussion than can be settled in this blog post, and merits reading in its own rights by those who might be interested. What needs to be said, however, is that Lord Diplock's comments in Star Industrial Co Ltd v Yap Kwee Kor further support Lord Neuberger's conclusions and highlight the distinction between goodwill in different jurisdictions through the existence of separation of judiciaries; i.e. not one court can decide an issue of a foreign court. Allowing for territorial overlap would let businesses simply claim a right in a name in another jurisdiction with a minimal presence, thus restricting business and trade for legitimate entities in that jurisdiction.
Ultimately the Supreme Court dismissed PCCM's appeal, and concluded that their claim in "NOW TV" had no basis in the UK, as they did not have the requisite consuming public in the UK for their service to merit protection under passing off.
This case is an interesting one, and although one could say the decision is very much a common sense approach, it still does answer some question relating to goodwill, especially in a digital age where the Internet permeates nearly every part of the globe. Businesses have to have a legitimate business presence in a given country in the form of a customer base, even in this digital age. | 2019-04-26T05:42:15 | https://www.ipiustitia.com/2015/05/supreme-goodwill-uk-supreme-court.html |
it had no buisness doing that, sorry.
- Moved Mimic Me default position to where old hotbutton was.
Rightclick groupwindow and check or uncheck the menu for it to hide/show them.
There is no way to selectivly show only one or two, the show is either for all three or none.
Because, well it makes the most sense and I dont want to clutter up the menu with 3 settings for it.
Nov 22 2018 by eqmule thanksgiving edition.
I plan on fixing it but I dont have time today.
they dont show aggro percentages, they use hardcoded sizes and thus cant be resized, cant be moved, has no title, etc.
Honestly, its a mess, if u have a good UI that has all the same controls as default, you are lucky.
First of all if your group window is not resizable, ill change it so it is.
Second if it doesnt have proper .TopOffset I'll use Location.top instead and so on.
Suffice to say, I have done my best to make this work for everyone.
and set the button locations there, or edit your UI's XML files.
in order to see all buttons and distance etc.
- Custom UI Extended Target Window crash fixed in MQ2TargetInfo.
It will save groupwindow size and location to the ini.
you can use it to reload the ini when you make changes to button locations etc.
Basically if you have a custom UI it will now save button locations and so on in it's own section of the ini file. | 2019-04-25T11:44:24 | https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/mq2targetinfo.191/updates |

The U18 Castaway Wanderers celebrate a golden cap to a dedicated season with a provincial rugby win this weekend.
The diverse team made up of players from Oak Bay, St. Michaels, GNS, Claremont and Mt. Doug secondary schools, travelled to Vancouver to challenge the Bayside Sharks in the final showdown at Thunderbird Stadium.
The 29-5 final score belies the battle fought.
The team lead 10-5 at half.
Even then they came from a surprise area of the field. The forwards scored all five tries (Adam Jay, Nick Carson, Conor Hills, Alex Hutchinson, Tom Abercrombie) while Zarija Djurickvic put the result of the game beyond doubt. Gareth Sandner scored a couple conversions.
The win was a team effort cultivated throughout the season,” says Spencer.
Rugby in these parts is too strong to take a provincial showing for granted. And the team this year worked hard to get there.
While they broke down those barriers, the athletes worked hard, some coming up through the club programs as youngsters others joining as teens. The diverse team included predominant athletes in many sports alongside others who enjoy the “successful and open and welcoming” program as their only sport of choice.
“It definitely made for a strong team, mainly because of the guys’ attitudes,” Spencer says.
The team faced a challenge in the success of some of its players.
Oak Bay High’s Lachlan Kratz and PISE student Jarvis Dashkewythch were selected for the Canadian youth team that left for New Zealand the day before the provincial showdown.
The win came down to the “positive culture” of the committed team, players played out of position to accommodate the missing players.
“We were fortunate to have some strong players in likes of Nick Carson No. 8 and his cousin Jack Carson who played scrum half,” Spencer says.
Conor Hill of Oak Bay was just back off an injury, Tom Abercrombie (OBH), and Claremont athletes Gareth Sandner and Adam Jay had outstanding games, he says.
They lived up to the CW legacy; the team has only lost one game in the last three seasons, and two in the past five. | 2019-04-19T08:17:52 | https://www.vancouverislandfreedaily.com/sports/island-team-wins-battle-for-u18-provincial-rugby-title/ |
Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for women’s health and children’s development.
Everyone who is interested in nutrition knows about fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids. We all understand that they are important. What we often fail to understand is how the nutrients exert their effects. How do these important nutrients work? Consumers often get stuck not knowing what to take or why. They don’t know, for example, how is fish oil different from glucosamine for joint support. They both have reported benefits in this area. Consumers tend to focus on their health challenges and can something help them. That is all well and good. However, if we never look beyond the condition to the cause, and to the tissues affected we will not be as successful in improving our health. Not for a lack of trying, but more for a failure to understand how to put together a nutritional program that works. Fish oil and omega-3 are a good example of this.
Fish oil and omega-3 have thousands of clinical studies revealing benefits through out the body. Why is this nutrient so universally beneficial? That is the topic I will explore with Dr. Shunney as it relates to women and children. But what Dr. Shunney reveals is that the benefits and need for omega-3 exist in humans from womb to tomb. We require omega-3 throughout our lifetimes. The problems associated with omega-3 deficiency are many and significant. My opinion is this: Omega-3 fatty acids are the single most important nutrient a person can take. I don’t take that position lightly. One of my main goals is to help you understand why this is so important.
The benefits of omega-3 in fish vs. the toxicity of mercury in fish.
There are confusing and conflicting reports and suggestions about whether pregnant women should avoid fish because of the mercury contamination. Mercury is a toxic chemical that affects brain and intelligence. There have been warning to pregnant women not to consume fish. Now there is conflicting advice suggesting that pregnant women should eat some fish every week for the omega-3 oils. There is evidence that omega-3 can increase the intelligence of the fetus. What’s a woman to do? Dr. Shunney discusses this dilemma and puts the controversy into context. The benefits of omega-3 vastly out weigh the problems associated with mercury. The bottom line is that omega-3 is so important that pregnant women should consume a modest but regular consumption of fish.
Women do not have to eat fish to get omega-3 fatty acids. You can take fish oil. Be sure to get a good quality of fish oil. A good quality fish oil should not smell or taste fishy. If it does it is not a good quality. This is important because when fish oil goes bad and you take it, you are consuming an oil that is now filled with rancid free radicals that are not good for you. Do not skimp on your fish oil.
We have many interviews on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from some of the most important experts, doctors and researchers in the natural products industry. You should listen to these interviews. When you do, you will understand why I consider omega-3 to be the most important nutrient. There is NOTHING else that will fulfill your need for this nutrient. Without out a proper omega-3/omega-6 balance, you will never get inflammatory issues resolved. This is my personal opinion and not so stated by Dr. Shunney.

As many as a third of autism cases could be explained by a scarcity of a single protein in the brain, Toronto scientists have revealed. The findings provide a rare opportunity to develop treatments for a disorder that is rooted in a motley crew of genetic faults.
“We previously reported an association between nSR100 protein levels and autism. But this time we show that reduced levels of this protein could really be causative—that’s a big deal. Just by reducing the nSR100 levels by 50 per cent, we observe hallmarks of autistic behaviour,” said Cordes.
Read more about this work in The Globe and Mail, The Independent and The Huffington Post.
The U of T study provides evidence for the sweeping influence that nSR100 protein has on social behaviour and other features of autism. In the brain, nSR100 acts as a key regulator of alternative splicing—a process that generates a remarkable diversity of proteins, the building blocks of cells.
“A major value of the nSR100 deficient mouse is that it can explain other causes of autism and how they impact neurobiology by converging on the nSR100 protein”, said Blencowe, who is also a professor in U of T's Department of Molecular Genetics. “Our mouse model will also serve as a useful testing ground for small molecules that have potential to reverse nSR100 deficiency in autism,” he added.
“Instead of focusing on individual mutations linked to autism, it’s much more powerful to identify regulatory hubs like nSR100. In the future, if you turned this protein up a little bit in autistic patients, you might be able to improve some of the behavioural deficits” said Cordes. | 2019-04-24T18:37:31 | http://thedonnellycentre.utoronto.ca/news/one-proteins-sweeping-influence-autism-revealed |

This blog is part of a new “Spotlight on NTIA” series. We’ll be highlighting the work that NTIA employees are doing to advance NTIA’s mission of promoting broadband adoption, finding spectrum to meet the growing demand for wireless technologies, and ensuring the Internet remains an engine for innovation and economic growth.
Many people spend their working lives in one career. Emy Tseng, a program officer with NTIA’s Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), is working on three. Tseng has worked at NTIA since it launched BTOP in 2009. But working to expand broadband adoption and digital literacy wasn’t her first calling.
After graduating from Brown University with a math and physics degree, Tseng went to work as a software engineer. After years of working with technology, she decided she was more interested in working on ways to provide access to new technologies. In 1999, she left her job to obtain a degree in technology and policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The degree eventually led her to San Francisco, where she landed a job with ZeroDivide.org, an organization aimed at promoting digital inclusion. She went on to lead the City of San Francisco’s efforts to close its digital divide.
After NTIA launched BTOP in 2009, Tseng headed back to the East Coast to work as a program officer on its sustainable broadband adoption and public computer center grants.
The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided funding for the BTOP program, which focused on broadband sustainability, public computer centers and broadband infrastructure.
Tseng is part of the team overseeing broadband adoption and public computing center grants. She works primarily on grants involving public computing centers and broadband adoption projects in major cities and also with school districts around the country on projects that help students get computers, training and home broadband access.
Tseng is passionate about the importance of helping to close the digital divide. As more services and opportunities move online, she notes that Americans who could most benefit from these services are being left behind because they lack the skills or the access to broadband technology.
While she enjoys being in a job where she can help people, Tseng also has another passion: Brazilian Jazz. In her free time, Tseng moonlights as a jazz singer and released her first CD in February. She says she fell in love with Brazilian Jazz music in recent years and now performs much of her music in Portuguese, Brazil’s official language.
Despite her love of jazz, Tseng says she has no plans of giving up her day job. “My regular job gives me perspective,” she says. | 2019-04-23T18:16:48 | https://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2013/spotlight-ntia-btop-s-emy-tseng |
How many times do you pass multiple billboards on your way to work in Hamilton? If you see it advertising a sale in a clothing store, visit that store, and possibly try some new brands, thus contributing to the growth of the store. The exact advertisement policy works with SEO. As users search for the internet for various queries, the more they see it in the search engines, the more than likely they are going to visit the page.
Search engines use crawlers to collect information from the internet and an index to rank the various website pages in their database. Optimization is about crafting the titles and the meta descriptions of web pages. Millions of web searches are performed every day, and businesses do everything in their power to use SEO to their advantage. Listed below are just some of the reasons why both big and small businesses should invest in the process of SEO.
For example, someone trying to find a nice restaurant for their next dinner in Hamilton will choose some of the ones that show on the first page in their browser. Bear in mind that running a successful firm needs investments.
Using an SEO service is going to help grow your site over time. The impact is that it can keep on generating traffic. While a paid advert is going to get you some traffic it will diminish over time. Natural searches keep on doing their job, and they are an excellent long term investment opportunity.
There are more people using the internet on their mobile devices than in the past. You can easily understand why, taking into consideration smartphones are convenient and easy to carry. Mobile users tend to rely more on organic search results than on paid ads. This is so since natural results are more personalized and offer more advantages. Business owners who are aware of the importance of mobile internet search should concentrate on SEO.
The usage of mobile devices for accessing the internet can also be a outcome of the rise of social media platforms. Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp are commonly used for business purposes, as well as for leisure, learning and entertainment or for solving some urgent problems. When these people need to get something, they typically search for it on the internet, and it is crucial that they get your site ready and simple to reach out to. If you have quality content and can present the optimum solution to that user’s problem, both you and your website should get an instant vote of confidence.
Three’s a lot to gain for small businesses in Hamilton, because this is an easy way to obtain recommendations and favorable ratings from their local customers. If you still believe hiring an SEO agency is nothing but an extra cost, remember that people constantly move, either for changing their residence or for visiting purposes.
Small businesses in Hamilton find it hard to fight against their established competitors, as they lack the means and the power to do it. SEO is the number one way to compete with a much smaller budget. There are many big businesses who are not concerned with SEO and it is allowing smaller businesses to sneak in a get a much bigger piece of the pie. In the long run, trust is built, and prospects become seasoned clients. | 2019-04-22T10:40:35 | https://seofirepower.com/kansas/hamilton/ |
Michigan State will offer waivers to upcoming graduates as the university implements a flat-rate, or "block" tuition system beginning in fall 2019.
Block tuition is a model that requires undergraduate students taking between 12 and 18 credit hours to pay a flat rate for tuition, equal to that of 15 credits. Its implementation was unanimously approved by the MSU Board of Trustees and former Interim President John Engler at the June board meeting.
The waivers would allow students graduating in the coming year to continue paying tuition on a per-credit basis, according to a message sent to student email accounts through the Office of the Registrar Friday.
Access to the waivers will be guaranteed to those who apply to graduate in the fall, and will be considered on a case-by-case basis along with "institutional financial support" for those who apply to graduate in Spring 2020.
The waiver applies to students who were unable to adjust their schedule to accommodate block tuition — due to required course work or schedule limitations — or "have encountered a situation beyond their control in which flat rate tuition would create a significant negative impact on their student success or their cost of tuition," a recently-launched website containing information about the new tuition system said.
Last month, the academic committee in the Associated Students of MSU, or ASMSU, passed a bill regarding block tuition, asking the administration to implement the waivers to upperclassmen who may have planned their degrees out before the new tuition model was implemented.
ASMSU Representative Ben Horne is also part of a block tuition workgroup organized earlier this semester in effort to include student input in the implementation process. He said an ideal situation would have been to choose a date, and determine that from that date onward, all incoming students will be under block tuition.
"The case-by-case system will be weird and likely place a lot of administrative strain on whoever reviews the decisions, but it's better than nothing," Horne said via text message. "ASMSU also passed a resolution a few weeks back opposing the implementation of block tuition if waivers weren't extended through Spring 2021, and this doesn't change that." | 2019-04-21T06:51:31 | https://statenews.com/article/2019/02/msu-to-offer-block-tuition-waivers |
Mother’s Day is just over a week away. I did a pretty traditional gift guide for Parade magazine. You can check out the offerings I included here.
My favorite pick of the bunch is this necklace from Viv & Ingrid. Something to think about for the future, Scott! But honestly, what mom wouldn’t love a heartfelt sentiment she can wear? I dedicated an entire post to sentimental jewelry in as part of my Best Gifts series in December. Stackable birthstone rings look delicate on any hand. We started a collection of stackable birthstone rings (we went the eternity band route) for my mom as a thank you for our wedding. The plan is to get her another birthstone ring after Baby G arrives.
Holiday procrastinators, this guide is for you. I scoured the Web for gifts you can purchase up until the 11th hour and still get under the tree in time. Here are the ones that appeared in Parade magazine, and here are five more last-minute gift guide ideas you still have time to gift. Start shopping NOW!
I’ve mentioned that I worked on the Every Day with Rachael Ray gift guide, and I’ve shared additional giftables for the morning person, the kiddos, the happy-hour crowd, the eco-conscious and naturalists. Today, I’m giving you lots of ideas (27 to be exact) for the nostalgist in your life—those who long for things from the past. You could give something from their childhood, a heart-felt hand-me-down, sentimental jewelry or a family heirloom, or you could give one of these fun nostalgic gifts. They are definitely blasts from the past. | 2019-04-19T12:38:52 | http://wendyjamesdesigns.com/category/gift-guide/ |

Tech history is littered with the wreckage of startups acquired and ruined by old media companies. To a certain extent, old media realizes the error of its ways, but that doesn’t stop it from trying again.
On Friday, TV and publishing giant News Corp announced that it will pay $25 million for Storyful, an Ireland-based startup whose wire service curates social media content involving the new stories of the day, including photos and videos of protests and violent conflict. And this comes two weeks after another print news giant, Scripps, paid $35 million for video news aggregator Newsy.
We can only hope that this smaller acquisitions have a better chance of panning out than the massive deals the define old media’s history with tech acquisitions.
The poster child is Time Warner’s disastrous 2000 acquisition of AOL, a $160 billion deal that was supposed to bring sterling content from traditional brands — HBO, Time Magazine, Warner Bros. Studios — onto the web in innovative ways, while at the same time making AOL the preeminent internet service provider. Instead, Time Warner’s conservative approach to brand image and copyright ended up hindering AOL’s efforts in digital media, while AOL’s brash approach to management thwarted its efforts to modernize Time Warner.
Then there’s News Corp.’s Myspace deal. In 2005, the company paid $580 million for a then-hot social network only to unload it six years later for just $35 million. (Mitigating the sting: a $900 million, partially completed, three-year ad deal with Google).
In the present boom, traditional media companies seem to be moving more cautiously, spending much smaller sums on practical deals involving little startups with obviously useful innovation. Before springing for Storyful, News Corp bought Skiff, an e-reading startup that complements its book company HarperCollins, and iList, an online classifieds company (disclosure: HarperCollins paid me to write a book). Meanwhile, New York Times Co. has invested in advertising management tool AdKeeper and betaworks, developer of aggregators like Digg and News.me.
This sort of deal is probably a good way to go — or at least better than paying $580 million for a company like MySpace. But you also have to wonder if old media companies are now being too timid, whether they are doing enough to change in a world where their old ways of making money are less effective every day. Such is the dilemma with old media. It’s caught between a rock and a hard place. | 2019-04-25T04:57:02 | http://playstop.org/375/news-corps-storyful-buy-proves-old-media-still-loves-tech/ |

Newport Beach is a seaside city in Orange County, California, United States. Its population was 85,287 at the 2010 census. Newport Beach is also home to Newport Harbor.
The Upper Bay of Newport is a canyon, which was carved by a stream in the Pleistocene period. The lower bay of Newport was formed much later by sand that was brought along by ocean currents, which constructed the offshore beach that is now recognized as the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach. Before settlers reached the coasts of California, the Newport area and surrounding areas were very prominent Indian lands. Indian shells and relics can still be found today scattered throughout the area. Though, throughout the 1800s, settlers began to settle the area due to the availability of land. The State of California sold acre-plots of land for $1 a piece in the Newport area. Anglo-American civilization in Newport grew substantially when in 1870 a 105-ton steamer named The Vaquero, captained by Captain Samuel S. Dunnells, against warnings posted by surveyors, safely steered through the lower and upper bay of Newport where it unloaded its cargo. James Irvine, after hearing the astonishing news, quickly traveled from his home in San Francisco to the San Joaquin Ranch. Meeting in Irvine’s ranch house near current day UC Irvine with his brother, Robert Irvine, and friend James McFadden, they all agreed that the newly found port should be named simply, "Newport" thus where Newport Beach gets its name. | 2019-04-26T08:00:43 | https://www.homehelpershomecare.com/newportbeach/care-services/communities-we-serve/home-care-newport-beach |

This guide is intended to troubleshoot and resolve booting issues with your laptop. At the end of this troubleshooting guide you should know why your laptop will not longer turn on.
Remove the battery and unplug it's AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it.
Try to boot your laptop without its battery and just use its AC adapter as a power source.
If the above did not resolve your issue, please re-seat the RAM. Remove the RAM sticks for a couple of seconds then re-insert them, making sure everything is seated properly.
If you can hear the laptop is on, but there is no graphics on the display, please connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if it will display anything. If the external monitor displays your laptop's graphics your laptop screen may be faulty.
See if your AC adapter is working properly. You can test this by trying another AC adapter that has the same voltage.
If none of the above works it could be a motherboard problem. At this point I would recommend to bring your laptop in for service and repair.

RICHMOND, Va. — Dominion Resources has shed some more light on its plans to change the downtown skyline.
The Richmond-based utility giant announced Thursday it will build a 20-story, 908,000-square-foot office tower at 111 S. Sixth St.
The high-rise will replace the existing six-story, 269,000-square-foot Richmond Plaza building, which sits across the street from Dominion’s One James Center Plaza headquarters and has been largely unused since the company bought it from Washington, D.C.-based real estate firm Douglas Development in 2011.
The company said it is also considering building a separate, neighboring tower on the site of its current headquarters, which sits at 701 E. Cary St. It released a rendering showing the dual towers that would be 850,000 square feet on 16 floors, though company spokesman Ryan Frazier said it is still considering its plans for the One James Center Plaza property. Its options include either gutting the existing 21-story, 667,000-square-foot building for a full renovation or demolishing it in favor of a new tower.
For the Richmond Plaza site, Dominion’s 20-story building will include 17 floors of office space, two floors of above-ground parking and four floors of underground parking. Ground floor retail space is also planned for the building’s northeast side on Seventh Street and Cary. | 2019-04-22T15:56:45 | https://wtvr.com/2016/05/13/dominion-resources-building/?shared=email&msg=fail |
Cat vs. Dog: Which One Makes Life Better?
We got these shirts from the Humane Society.
We currently have a cat and a dog but my husband is closer with our dog and I am closer with our cat, thus the shirts. Which do you prefer: a cat or a dog? Vote now!
Wow, last time I posted anything here was January. Well, I decided that other things are more important . . . and I've been playing video games on the AARP website trying to beat my high score and trying to make the leaderboard (which are addictive). It has word games including crossword puzzles which I feel good that I can actually complete now. It also has some brain games, matching games and strategy games, and more. I have no idea how other people get such high scores though!
Still teaching 5th and 6th graders in Sunday School and doing a class newsletter to keep parents informed.
We had a wellness visit to the vet for Abby, our dog (getting that pee sample was not easy, sorry no picture) and cat including Spunky's dental cleaning that I put off for three years--big bucks there but they are both doing fine. Abby had some parasites to get cleared up but wasn't a big deal.
I've been eating lots at work with the first Friday free breakfast feasts, secretary's day with a special luncheon catered by Mission BBQ that was really yummy, and cookies, bakery and candy that people bring in as treats. No wonder I've gained 10 lbs that I do not want!
Our accountant forgot to actually file our return. I called him after about 4 weeks waiting for our refund and then he finally filed it.
Our youth group at church had their annual dessert auction/spaghetti dinner fundraiser and this year I got the item I wanted most in the first round of bidding for $60. It was pecan/chocolate chip bars that were absolutely delicious and pre-cut! I also was high bidder at $45 (by accident) on a cute bowling assortment of candy, cookies and cake which was also really good. (again with the extra pounds!) The money raised goes to help pay for the teens going on mission trips.
Last Saturday I got a 4-drawer file cabinet for just $15 including delivery from the Parma Heights Christian Academy's annual garage sale!
We just had our dead bush removed from the front yard and a couple small trees removed from the back yard. We never planted these trees, but when the stuff falls in our yard off the neighbors tree, it apparently takes root and starts growing! It's crazy.
I participated in a free health screening at work which resulted in getting some gift cards: Amazon, iHop and Walmart. It's also good to know my numbers were pretty good. Even though I've put on the extra 10 lbs., my BMI is still in normal range. Still fighting to keep my blood pressure down. It's higher than I'd like but then it's always fluctuating within minutes. The nurse said it's really probably lower than what it showed since doing it during work does not make for a relaxed reading.
We are still reading and posting reviews at Grab a Book From Our Stack blog. I just finished the Clover Springs Mail Order Brides box set of 5 on my Kindle and loved them! Rachel Wesson is the author and writes clean historical fiction western romance. Unfortunately, I couldn't find her books at the library, but have went back to Amazon and loaded a whole bunch more to my Kindle.
For Mother's Day, my sweet husband got me my favorite candy, chocolate covered cherries--both dark chocolate and light (yes more lbs. coming). From my cat and dog, I got some special socks.
Finally, I am bummed out. For a week now, my left hip has been sore and I can't raise my leg high like I used to without pain. Fortunately, it doesn't hurt all the time, just when I get in and out of the car, or if I'm laying down and get up, or a little when I walk. Now the weather has finally turned good enough to play Pickleball and I have this nutty hip problem. Advil helps, but only temporarily. Boo.
So, sorry this is so long, and probably boring. Anyhow, I'm really going to try to get rid of my extra fat right after I finish those cherries! What have you been up to? | 2019-04-20T06:38:22 | http://zemeks.blogspot.com/2018/05/ |
I asked 3 people for an L word, and guess what? They all said, ‘Love’ immediately.
In other words, it’s one of our favorite words to say because it has so many uses. And I haven’t even mentioned the most powerful use of all- when we say, “I love you” to that special person and hope s/he says it right back. If we’re honest, we probably spend a good deal of our time thinking about being loved (or not) by another person we care about.
It is often said that “love makes the world go ‘round.” But I tend to disagree. I think what really makes the world go ‘round is our fear that we won’t have love; that somehow love will pass us by. Or be insincere. Look at our love songs- he left me, she broke my heart, I’m desperate for hir. There is so much fear around love. Think Romeo and Juliet. Star-crossed love. Unrequited love. Inappropriate love. This very powerful emotion colors so much of our life, our art, our society. It may be unacknowledged but nonetheless, a very potent influence on everything we do. Dare I mention politics?!
So, when we talk about love, it’s about loving someone or something in the world around us. Loving our work, loving to eat, loving to dance, loving to play whatever it is. When you love something, it’s a thing – I love this. Fill in the blank. And God forbid, s/he, it doesn’t love us back. Then we quickly become the victim of that person or thing. The love object is now a tremendous threat to our peace of mind. We’ve put our heart on our sleeve and it’s been rejected. Not a pleasant place to be.
Thus far, everything I’ve mentioned about love has been dependent on an external stimulus. There’s a lover and a beloved. And our happiness seems to hinge on how dependable the beloved is. One false step and love can suddenly shift to anger and even malice. The passion that once filled us with an unquenchable desire to be with our loved one turns to revulsion. In fury, we cast out the turncoat to hide our hurt and despair.
Let’s talk about how we can look at the word from an inner perspective. In my spiritual practice, love is not an emotion but an eternal truth. It is the glue that holds the universe together. It is the expression of life in its pure, unadulterated form. It does not change or diminish because of external circumstances. It is always patient and kind, as the Bible says.
And, it is not special. Love is like the rain that falls on the wicked and the good equally. It doesn’t choose sides. I laugh when I see the teams on bended knee praying to win. Does God play favorites? If God is Love, I don’t think so!
So how do we translate this understanding of love as changeless with the concept of our special loves that come and go? Nothing less than a rewiring of our belief that love comes from without to the realization that love starts and ends within me!
In other words, if I want to see love, I must be love. That’s how it happens. It has to start with me and go out. Think how powerful this idea is, because it’s true for every single idea that i have. When i have a thought, it’s in my mind and then that energy flows out to the world and it gets fulfilled. A hundred years ago, Albert Einstein, one of our greatest thinkers, had an idea which led to so much of our current technology –the concept that when you put an idea out there, it will manifest.
This begs the question, “What does it mean if I don’t like somebody or some situation?” This is hard to hear but life-changing if you can grasp it– It means you have chosen not to like that person or thing! The thought begins within and is displayed without. The reason this is life-changing is because you are no longer a victim of external circumstances. Now, you can choose to love that person or thing instead.
Go out there, starting today, and be the love, be the gift of love to everyone you meet, and i guarantee you, you will have the best holiday season you have ever had. | 2019-04-23T12:34:18 | https://marciagrace.com/love-is-in-the-air/ |

The present invention relates to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit. In particular, the present invention relates to an ESD protection circuit suitable for applying in an integrated circuit (IC).
As the scale of devices in ICs has become smaller, the devices have become more vulnerable to Electrostatic discharge (ESD). Hence, ESD has been one of the most important reliability issues for IC products and must be taken into consideration in the design phase of all ICs.
Besides an ESD clamp device, an ESD detection circuit is another critical component in on-chip ESD protection circuits because it highly relates to the ESD protection capability of an on-chip ESD protection circuit. The ESD detection circuit is designed to provide trigger currents to turn on the ESD clamp device when the IC product is under ESD stresses.
A variety of ESD detection circuits were proposed. FIG. 1 illustrates an ESD protection circuit for input pads proposed in the patent U.S. Pat. No. 6,465,768. Generally, ESD occurs when one pin of an IC is grounded and another pin of the IC contacts an electrostatically pre-charged object. For instance, under positive-to-VSS (PS-mode) ESD stresses, a positive ESD zapping is applied to the input pad in FIG. 1 while the VSS power rail is grounded and the VDD power rail is floating.
Under PS-mode ESD stresses, the positive ESD voltage pulse at the input pad is coupled through the capacitor 102 to the gate terminal 106 of the NMOS 104. When the coupled voltage at the gate terminal 106 of NMOS 104 is greater than the threshold voltage of NMOS 104, NMOS 104 is turned on to conduct some ESD currents from the stressed input pad to the base terminal of the parasitic NPN BJT 114 in NMOS 112, which is formed by the N+ diffusion, P-well region, and N+ diffusion.
With the trigger current injected to the base terminal of the parasitic NPN BJT 114 in NMOS 212, NMOS 212 is turned on to discharge ESD current from the input pad to VSS power rail, and the internal circuit 100 can be protected from being damaged by ESD currents.
Under negative-to-VDD (ND-mode) ESD stresses, the negative ESD zapping is applied to the input pad while the VDD power rail is grounded and the VSS power rail is floating. Under ND-mode ESD stresses, the negative ESD voltage pulse at the input pad is coupled through the capacitor 122 to the gate terminal 126 of the PMOS 124. With the coupled voltage at the gate terminal 126 of PMOS 124, PMOS 124 is turned on to conduct some ESD current from the stressed input pad to the base terminal of the parasitic PNP BJT 134 in PMOS 132, which is formed by the P+ diffusion, N-well region, and P+ diffusion. With the trigger current injected to the base terminal of the parasitic PNP BJT 134 in PMOS 132, PMOS 132 is turned on to discharge ESD current from the input pad to VDD power rail.
Under positive-to-VDD (PD-mode) ESD stresses, the positive ESD zapping is applied to the input pad while the VDD power rail is grounded and the VSS power rail is floating. Under PD-mode ESD stresses, the parasitic diode formed by the P+ drain diffusion and N-well in PMOS 132 is forward-biased to discharge ESD currents from the input pad to VDD power rail.
Under negative-to-VSS (NS-mode) ESD stresses, the negative ESD zapping is applied to the input pad while the VSS power rail is grounded and the VDD power rail is floating. Under NS-mode ESD stresses, the parasitic diode formed by the N+ drain diffusion and P-well in NMOS 112 is forward-biased to discharge ESD currents from the input pad to VSS power rail.
The same concept can be applied to ESD protection design for an output pad, which is shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 1, the gate terminals of PMOS 132 and NMOS 112 are connected to VDD and VSS, respectively. However, the gate terminals of PMOS 232 and NMOS 212 are connected to the pre-driving circuit 221 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 illustrate another ESD protection design proposed in "ESD protection design in a 0.18-μm salicide CMOS technology by using substrate-triggered technique" reported by M.-D. Ker, T.-Y. Chen, and C.-Y. Wu in Proc. IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), 2001, pp. 754-757.
The ESD protection circuit for an input pad is shown in FIG. 3. Under PS-mode ESD stresses, a positive ESD voltage is coupled from the input pad to the floating VDD power rail. Since the capacitor C2 is connected to the grounded VSS power rail, the gate voltage of PMOS Mp2 is initially low enough to turn on Mp2. With the drain current of Mp2 injected into the P-well region of NMOS Mn1, the parasitic NPN BJT (formed by N+ drain diffusion, P-well region, and N+ source diffusion) in Mn1 is turned on to discharge ESD current from the input pad to the VSS power rail. On the other side, under NS-mode ESD stresses, the diode formed by the P-well and N+ drain diffusion in Mn1 is forward-biased to provide ESD protection.
The ESD protection circuit for an output pad is shown in FIG. 4. The gate terminals of ESD clamp devices Mp3 and Mn3 can be driven by a pre-driving circuit. Thus, Mp3 and Mn3 can simultaneously act as an output driver and ESD protection devices. Under PS-mode ESD stresses, a positive ESD voltage is coupled from the output pad to the floating VDD power rail. Since the capacitor C3 is connected to grounded VSS power rail, the gate voltage of PMOS Mp4 is initially low enough to turn on Mp4. With the drain current of Mp4 injected into the P-well region of NMOS Mn3, the parasitic NPN BJT (formed by N+ drain diffusion, P-well region, and N+ source diffusion) in Mn3 is turned on to discharge ESD current from the output pad to the VSS power rail. On the other side, under NS-mode ESD stresses, the diode formed by the P-well and N+ drain diffusion in Mn3 is forward-biased to provide ESD protection.
With the trigger circuits for both PMOS and NMOS transistors, another ESD protection circuit for an input pad proposed in the patent U.S. Pat. No. 6,566,715 is shown in FIG. 5. The ESD detection circuit 52 is designed to provide trigger current to turn on the parasitic NPN BJT in Mn1 under PS-mode ESD stresses. Similarly, the ESD detection circuit 54 is designed to provide trigger current to turn on the parasitic PNP BJT in Mp1 under ND-mode ESD stresses.
The ESD protection design for an output pad with ESD detection circuits including both PMOS and NMOS transistors is shown in FIG. 6. The ESD detection circuit 80 is designed to provide trigger current to turn on the parasitic BJT in Mn3 under PS-mode ESD stresses. The ESD detection circuit 82 is designed to provide trigger current to turn on the parasitic BJT in Mp3 under ND-mode ESD stresses.

FIG. 12 illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the fourth embodiment according to the invention.
FIG. 13 illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the fifth embodiment according to the invention.
FIG. 14 illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the sixth embodiment according to the invention.
Please refer to FIG. 7, which illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the first embodiment according to the invention. This ESD protection circuit 70 includes a discharging component 72, a diode D1, and an ESD detection circuit 74. The discharging component 72 is coupled between an input/output pad and a first power line (VSS) of the IC in which the ESD protection circuit 70 is set. The diode D1 is coupled between the input/output pad and a second power line (VDD) of the IC in a forward direction toward the second power line.
The ESD detection circuit 74 includes a resistor R1, a capacitor C1, and a triggering component. In this embodiment, the triggering component is an inverter labeled as INV_1. The resistor R1 and the capacitor C1 are formed in series and coupled between the first power line and the second power line. As shown in FIG. 7, the inverter INV_1 has a positive power end coupled to the input/output pad and a negative power end coupled to the first power line. The input of the inverter INV_1 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C1 and the resistor R1. The output of the inverter INV_1 is coupled to the discharging component 72.
FIG. 9 illustrates several applicable examples of the discharging component 72. In actual applications, the discharging component 72 can be a gate-driven NMOS in FIG. 9(A), an NPN BJT in FIG. 9(B), a gate-grounded NMOS in FIG. 9(C), a P-type substrate-triggered SCR in FIG. 9(D), or an NMOS with its gate terminal coupled to a pre-buffer in FIG. 9(E).
During normal power operations of the internal circuits 100, the discharging component 72 is turned off. Under PD-mode ESD stresses, the diode D1 is forward-biased to discharge ESD currents from the input/output pad to the second power line. Under PS-mode ESD stresses, the RC-delay caused by R1 and C1 turns on the PMOS in the inverter INV_1. Thus, the discharging component 72 can be turned on by the output current of output voltage of INV_1. Thereby, the ESD current is discharged from the input/output pad to the first power line, and the internal circuit 100 can be protected from being damaged by ESD.
In actual applications, the triggering component can also be an M-input NAND with all inputs coupled together or an N-input NOR with all inputs coupled together, wherein M and N are both positive integers larger than 1, respectively.
Please refer to FIG. 8, which illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the second embodiment according to the invention. This ESD protection circuit 80 includes a discharging component 82, a diode, and an ESD detection circuit 84. The discharging component 82 is coupled between an input/output pad and a first power line (VDD) of an IC. The diode is coupled between the input/output pad and a second power line (VSS) of the IC in a forward direction toward the input/output pad.
The ESD detection circuit 84 includes a capacitor C1, a resistor R1, and a triggering component. In this embodiment, the triggering component is composed of two inverters, INV_2 and INV_3, coupled in series. The capacitor C1 and resistor R1 are formed in series between the first power line and the second power line. As shown in FIG. 8, the inverters respectively have a positive power end coupled to the first power line and a negative power end coupled to the input/output pad. Besides, the input of the inverter INV_3 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C1 and resistor R1.
FIG. 10 illustrates several applicable examples of the discharging component 82. In actual applications, the discharging component 82 can be a gate-driven PMOS in FIG. 10(A), a PNP BJT in FIG. 10(B), a gate-VDD PMOS in FIG. 10(C), a N-type substrate-triggered SCR in FIG. 10(D), or a PMOS with its gate terminal coupled to a pre-buffer in FIG. 10(E).
During normal power operations of the internal circuits 100, the discharging component 82 is turned off. Under NS-mode ESD stresses, the diode D1 is forward-biased to discharge ESD currents from the second power line to the input/output pad. On the other side, under ND-mode ESD stresses, the RC-delay of R1 and C1 turns on the PMOS of the inverter INV_3 and the NMOS of the inverter INV_2. Therefore, the discharging component 82 between the first power line and the input/output pad can be turned on by the output current or output voltage of the inverter INV_2.
In actual applications, the two inverters, INV_2 and INV_3, can be replaced by an M-input NAND plus an N-input NAND, an M-input NOR plus an N-input NOR, or an M-input NAND plus an N-input NOR. M and N are both positive integers larger than 1, respectively. According to the invention, the M or N inputs of the devices are coupled with each other.
Please refer to FIG. 11, which illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the third embodiment according to the invention. In this embodiment, the circuits in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are combined to cope with all ESD conditions (PD-mode, PS-mode, ND-mode, and NS-mode).
As shown in FIG. 11, the ESD protection circuit 110 includes a first discharging component 92, a second discharging component 94, and an ESD detection circuit 96. The first discharging component 92 is coupled between an input/output pad and a first power line (VSS) of an IC. The second discharging component 94 is coupled between the input/output pad and a second power line (VDD) of the IC.
The ESD detection circuit 96 includes a capacitor C1, a resistor R1, and three inverters. The first inverter INV_1 has a first positive power end coupled to the input/output pad and a first negative power end coupled to the first power line. The input of the first inverter INV_1 is coupled to the node between the capacitor and the resistor. The second inverter INV_2 and the third inverter INV_3 respectively have a positive power end coupled to the second power line and a negative power end coupled to the input/output pad.
The first discharging component 92 can be one of the devices shown in FIG. 9; the second discharging component 94 can be one of the devices shown in FIG. 10. During normal power operations of the internal circuits 100, the first discharging component 92 and the second discharging component 94 are turned off. As described in the aforementioned embodiments, the three inverters are used for turning on the discharging components 92 and 94 in the ESD events.
Under PS-mode ESD stresses, the RC-delay of R1 and C1 turns on the PMOS in inverter INV_1 to turn on the first discharging component 92. Under ND-mode ESD stresses, the RC-delay of R1 and C1 turns on the PMOS in inverter INV_3 and the NMOS in inverter INV_2 to turn on the second discharging component 94. Under PD-mode ESD stresses, ESD currents can be conducted through the diode formed by the second discharging component 94. Under NS-mode ESD stresses, ESD currents can be conducted through the diode formed by the first discharging component 92.
For ESD protection of an output pad, the gate terminals of the MOSs in the inverters can be connected to a pre-buffer and act as a part of the output buffer. Besides, each inverter in this embodiment can be replaced by NAND or NOR with all inputs connected together.
FIG. 12 illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the fourth embodiment according to the invention. In this embodiment, an ESD bus (ESD_Bus_1) is added between the VDD power rail and the input/output pad. With ESD_Bus_1, the coupling effects at VDD can be reduced when there is overshoot at the input/output pad. Further, in this embodiment, the power ends of the inverter INV_1 is connected to ESD_Bus_1 and VSS, so the parasitic effects of INV_1 are not contributed to the input/output pad. Thus, with ESD_Bus_1, this design is more suitable for analog or high-frequency applications.
As shown in FIG. 12, a diode D2 is coupled between ESD_Bus_1 and the VDD power rail in a forward direction toward ESD_Bus_1. The function of this diode is to prevent coupling from ESD_Bus_1 to VDD. The operations of the inverter INV_1, the discharging component 12A, the diode D1, the capacitor C1, and the resistor R1 are similar to those in the first embodiment above and not described again herein.
FIG. 13 illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the fifth embodiment according to the invention. In this embodiment, an ESD bus (ESD Bus 2) is added between the VSS power rail and the input/output pad. With ESD_Bus_2, the coupling effects at VSS can be reduced when there is undershoot at the input/output pad. Besides, the inverters, INV_2 and INV_3, are connected between VDD and ESD_Bus_2, so the parasitic effects of the inverters are not contributed to the input/output pad.
As shown in FIG. 13, a diode D3 is coupled between ESD_Bus_2 and the VSS power rail in a forward direction toward ESD_Bus_2. The function of this diode is to prevent coupling from ESD_Bus_2 to VSS. The operations of the inverters, the discharging component 13A, the diode D2, the capacitor C1, and the resistor R1 are similar to those in the second embodiment above and not described again herein.
FIG. 14 illustrates the ESD protection circuit in the sixth embodiment according to the invention. In this embodiment, an ESD bus (ESD_Bus_1) is added between the VDD power rail and the input/output pad, and another ESD bus (ESD_Bus_2) is added between the VSS power rail and the input/output pad. With the two buses, the coupling effects induced by overshoot or undershoot at the I/O pad are reduced.
The operations of the inverters (INV_1˜INV_3), the discharging components (14A and 14B), the diodes (D1˜D4), the capacitor C1, and the resistor R1 are similar to those in the embodiments above and not described again herein. Similarly, each of the inverters in FIG. 12˜FIG. 14 can respectively be replaced by NAND or NOR with all inputs connected together.
In this invention, several new ESD detection circuits are proposed. The circuits can effectively provide trigger current to turn on discharging components when an integrated circuit is under ESD stresses. Furthermore, the proposed ESD bus in this invention can reduce the coupling effects between input/output pads and VDD or VSS power rails when there is overshoot or undershoot at input/output pads. | 2019-04-24T06:20:12 | http://www.patentsencyclopedia.com/app/20090021872 |
It's that time of the year again where the only places good to be in are under an air conditioner or under water. That's right: Summer- I don't know about your city but where I live in it's so hot that, as I'm writing this, I'm melting over my laptop. It's currently 31ºC (87.8º F) and the temperatures will rise over the weekend, reaching about 38º C (100º F). I'm gonna die. Seriously.
As I said before, on hot days all we want to do is be in a cold place or under water, so a lot of people will go to the beach and enjoy the sea and the sun. The thing is, for me at least- it's very easy to get bored while at the beach. I mean, there is so much tanning and swimming someone can take right?
Today I decided to gather up 8 cool things you can do at the beach so you won't get bored.
8- If the ocean allows you to, go for a swim.
What are your favourite activities do to at the beach? | 2019-04-18T14:53:17 | https://www.theeuropeancloset.eu/2017/07/8-fun-things-to-do-at-beach.html |

Chrylos, standing next to Gryton, his Skree life-partner, surveyed the mountain range where the Marn ship had crashed, through their psychic link, they both agreed, this was going to be a dangerous scouting. Joined at hatching, Chrylos and Gryton had been together for ten years. The joining took place on the hatching grounds, the Skree always did the choosing, the electric shock and fireworks explosion in the mind, followed by training and the use of the Tanzite crystal, bound them for life. They had been joined when Chrylos was sixteen, the age of joining the Guardians.
Chrylos climbed back up on Gryton, tightened the fighting straps, and prepared to fly over the crash site and look for survivors. On the ground below was what was left of the ship. Landing at what should be a safe distance, and going forward on foot, Chrylos drew his sword and warily went forward. Gryton, able to see further showed Chrylos the wreckage. There were dead Marn, about twenty, lying on the ground, and what was left of the ship’s hull was up ahead. It was dark inside, with the acrid smell of burnt electronics, smoke, and leaking fuel.
Upon entering the craft, Chrylos discovered a sealed life pod, and inside was the first living Marn he had ever seen. He told Gryton to alert the Guardians and send for their Leader, Jatar. Chrylos and Gryton removed the life pod, and studied its occupant. Different than the dead Marn around the ship, this Marn was smaller, more feminine, and in contrast to the usual grey, was gold in color and seemed to be sleeping.
Once Jatar arrived on Quilan, his Skree life-mate and first male in the pride, the leader of the humanoids was always paired to the first male, they examined the pod and decided that they needed to take this Marn to the High Council to be questioned by the Temple Seers. The Seers were exceptionally gifted female psychics, paired to female Skree, the Seers would be the ones able to see into the mind of the Marn. Jatar and Chrylos made a sling to carry the pod between their mounts, and flew to the Temple of the Guardians.
They arrived in a flurry of excitement. No one in living memory had ever seen a living Marn. They had stopped raiding Embrellon about three hundred years after the forming of the Guardians. It became too costly for them to try and take Skree any longer and many Marn had died trying. The humanoids were mostly of blue hair, violet eyes, upswept eyebrows and pointed ears. But on occasion, there was born among them a child with black hair, blue eyes and rounded ears and eyebrows, these were regarded as special because of the Earthman who had formed the Guardians, James Whitlaw. Chrylos was one of the few Embrellon who had that look. Whitlaw and Lara had been mates for life and had two children, twins, a boy and girl, the girl became the first seer, and the boy followed his father as a Guardian. That was six hundred years ago, today, was the first time that the Guardians of Embrellon would have a chance to question the ancient enemy.
They brought the life-pod in before the council and with the greatest care, opened the life-pod. After the swoosh of air at the opening of the life-pod, and the stirring awake of its occupant, all life on Embrellon was about to change. This wasn’t an enemy, this was a refugee seeking asylum and hoping for a new life away from Marn. But, this wasn’t a typical Marn, this was a High Marn, of the ruling caste, the daughter of the Supreme Marn Commander, Tygos, and he would come looking for her, Catya. They brought Catya before the Seers, who questioned her, and because of the psychic bond of the Guardians, were able to see what things she might try to hide. Chrylos was waiting for Jatar to gather the news about this Marn.
Jatar told Chrylos what had happened and that they were going to need to protect this Marn, because she could be the reason for renewed attacks by the Marn. They couldn’t kill her, that was not an acceptable act by the Guardians, or the Embrellonese, they regarded life highly and only killed in battle. Even the Skree were opposed to killing except for food or defense, all Skree were Guardians but not all Brellon were Guardians, not everyone was chosen, though all were candidates for the Guardians.
Chrylos asked if they were able to communicate with the Marn, and Jatar told him yes, through the Skree, and it would be his task to teach her their language. Him, a Senior Scout, was going to be in charge of the Marn. Shocked by this confidence, and excited about learning about the Marn, he asked why he was chosen, and Jatar said it was the High Council and the Seers who said to have him selected. Following the orders, he was given, Chrylos set off to collect his charge and take her in hand all the while asking himself why him?
Chrylos asked Gryton to tell their charge that they were taking her to get nourishment and to get her settled into their quarters. Gryton grumbled about being tasked with babysitting, but Chrylos chided him and they went about the task of teaching her the language.
Over the weeks that followed, Chrylos learned everything he could about Catya and the Marn, and as she was very adept at learning the language, soon they were talking to each other and Gryton grumbled less and less about being a babysitter and took keen interest in the Marn.
Chrylos discovered that not all Marn wanted conquest, most just wanted to live in peace, but her father, Tygos, was full of hate and he always killed his opposers. Catya wanted to be free of Marn war, and wanted to live in peace, have a family, and explore. But that wasn’t what her father wanted and he was going to mate her with one of his commanders to make sure of his loyalty.
The burning question was this; how long before Catya’s father would come looking for her, and why did she choose Embrellon? The answer was astonishing to Chrylos, and once he told the High Council, they would be excited, and hopefully, prepared. The Guardians were the only ones in the history of Marn to defeat them to the point they wouldn’t come to Embrellon. Her Father didn’t care, he would be crazy with rage and would expend all his forces to bring her back.
How long? The answer to that question gave them hope, the Marn ship and crew that brought her here were all dead, they didn’t want war and agreed to take here to Embrellon at the cost of their own lives. The crash wasn’t planned, but it worked in their favor, no one else survived and no one had transmitted their position before they crashed. Her father would have to search the sectors one by one until he found her, and that gave them time to prepare.
Catya shared with Chrylos that her reason for coming to Embrellon was to find out if a Marn could become a Guardian. If a Marn and a Skree could be joined, then they would indeed have a reason to come to Embrellon in peace. She asked Chrylos if he would ask the High Council if she could try to be joined at the next hatching.
Chrylos was excited about the possibility and felt a strange attraction to this young woman, who should be his enemy. He realized that she was right, a Marn Guardian could change things for all of Embrellon and for the Marn as well. Could this be the key to finally having a lasting peace with the Marn? The greatest obstacle would be Tygos, he desired conquest, not peace, and once he discovered she was on Embrellon, would not hesitate in sending all his forces here to force her return to Marn, and the marriage that awaited her.
The usual age of a candidate was sixteen. It seemed that for the humanoids on Embrellon, any younger and they couldn’t join, and most candidates were too old by the time another hatching happened. Catya was twenty and the age of 21 was the cutoff age for joining. Fortunately, there were eggs on the hatching ground, and there were thirteen females that she might be joined with.
Chrylos was nervous, he had never directly addressed the High Council before. That was usually something only the highest Guardians did. How would they react to Catya’s request? How would the Skree react to the request? Not since the founding of the Guardians had anyone not born on Embrellon been joined with a Skree, and the Skree had to do the choosing.
As he entered the great chamber, he stood in awe of the statues of past leaders of the Guardians, all the way back to the first Guardian, James Whitlaw. Whitlaw was an earthling, stranded on Embrellon when the Marn attacked his ship and destroyed it killing all of his crew. The Statue of Whitlaw, mounted on Regulus, the Skree who chose to join with him, was impressive, and almost looked alive.
Whitlaw had formed the Guardians with the help of Lara of Vela, and Regulus. Vela was joined to Regulus’ mate, Jarma, and for sixty years, trained, built, and led the Guardians. Now it was Jatar who led the Guardians, and Chrylos hoped that he would be able to help him sway the Council to grant Catya’s request. The High Council was made up of twelve elders of the Guardians, past Leader’s and Wing Commanders, who had proven themselves to be of the highest valor and lived and conducted themselves according to the needs of all Embrellon. Along with the High Council was the Senior Elder, and the Seers. Thirteen women with their Skree Life-mates, who determined what the Guardians did.
The Senior Elder, Joktar, former leader of the Guardians who lost an arm in a battle, and his Life-mate, Junta, who had lost an eye, was who Chrylos would need to convince. They were battle hardened veterans, who had no love for the Marn.
Then Jatar spoke, “Esteemed Elders, there are hatchlings due soon, and this is the time to make the attempt. I know that some may question the joining, but the alternative is all out war with the Marn, and the losses of life, which we are sworn to protect, would be devastating. The Guardians will give their lives to protect all Embrellon, but, if avoiding this war can be done, then we should do It”.
The High Council asked Chrylos and Jatar to wait outside while they made a decision. It was never wracking for Chrylos, the waiting and silence, but what was he to do. They had to choose the joining, they had to see the logic, and see that this opportunity to remove the threat, was more important than any prejudice towards the Marn. After several hours, Jatar told Chrylos that this was the single most important event in their history with the exception of founding of the Guardians itself.
Suddenly, there was a high pitched roar, the Skree were deciding, and with the Skree, the Council. The minutes felt like hours, and Chrylos began to sweat nervously. The Council chamber doors opened and Chrylos and Jatar were summoned. As they entered, they saw that the full council, along with their Skree life-mates, and all the Seers assembled. This was important, because it was a rarity for them to gather fully due to the link between man and Skree.
Joktar spoke, “it has been decided that we must make this attempt for all of Embrollon to survive. The hatching should be in a few days and the Marn is to be taken to the waiting chambers and spend time with the eggs until the day of the hatching.” Chrylos was relieved and excited, this was the outcome he had hoped for, and now he would tell Catya that she was to be given a chance to be joined to a Skree, the most incredible experience in his life, and something he hoped they would soon share.
It had been decided, Catya would be a candidate for the joining, and hopefully she would be acceptable to a Skree. The Skree always chose male to male, female to female. They all were similar in markings, the females smaller than the males, both had manes, the females with a smaller mane. One thing that was different was that they ranged in color from tawny to a deep brown, or in some cases, grey. This joining was bringing excitement that hadn’t been seen for some time. Joining’s were always exciting but this was the first time in six hundred years that an off worlder would attempt a joining.
It was quiet on the hatching floor, all the candidates were assembled, and a hush fell on the crowd as Joktar addressed the assembly of Elders, Seers, Guardians, and Candidates. “Today, we are gathered to welcome into our assembly the newly chosen Guardians. To defend our planet from all invaders, to protect the innocent and helpless, and to ensure the future of Embrellon. Today, we have an off-worlder, a Marn, and for the first time, we hope to join to our ranks Catya of Marn, who will be Catya of Embrellon from this day forward” with his final words spoken, the gong sounded and silence followed.
The first sound of a shell cracking followed shortly, as if this had been rehearsed, and the first Skree broke free, a young bronze colored male, and he chose his life-mate, a slim youth who seemed more out of place than most. There were 30 eggs on the hatching grounds and as each one broke, a candidate was selected, sixty youths, sixteen males hatched and thirteen females, and as everyone waited with hope, and desperation, the final egg cracked, and awe fell on the assembly, for this was a Skree like no other. She was white, with gold stripes, and with many candidates waiting she roared and paced in front of the candidates, like a lion ready to attack. She paused in front of Catya, and when she looked into her eyes, Catya was joined, the electric shock down her spine and the fireworks in her mind was just the beginning. Catya collapsed, and her life-mate, Zala, stood over her and roared at anyone who approached.
Chrylos new that Catya need help, the joining had been different for Catya, candidates never collapse, they become joined and take their life-mates to feed, and move into the training barracks where they stay for the next year, learning together the basics of being a Guardian. Chrylos approached Catya and Zala, and Gryton came with him, Zala still roared, but at Gryton’s urging, Chrylos bowed deeply before the female, and approaching slowly, was able to raise Catya to his arms and carry her from the grounds. Gryton followed with Zala and took her to feed, then they went to the training barracks to check on Catya.
Catya was awake now and Chrylos gave her the diadem that all Guardians wore upon there brow to help channel the thoughts of Guardian and Skree. This was the day they had prepared for but Zala was different than other Skree, here coloring made her unique. There hadn’t been a Skree of her coloring since Lara’s Life-mate Jarma. This was a day to remember indeed. | 2019-04-25T10:23:09 | https://johnrmooreauthor.com/2017/07/22/the-guardians-of-embrellon-chapter-i/ |

Looks great in my place. Friends have commented on its quality and appearance.
I purchased three of these rugs in the green color to place around the bed in my guest room. I had replaced the carpeting with vinyl wood plank flooring and just needed small rugs by the bed. I am very pleased with these rugs and would recommend them. The backing keeps them in place and from sliding on the new flooring. The color and pattern is perfect with the bedspread and accessories.
My husband loves this rug for the kitchen. The oval shape keeps people from tripping on the corners, yet it covers the floor below a food prep area perfectly. We bought a second one to have a back up, really like it. The floral pattern makes the kitchen look more friendly, without being too theme oriented.
Very nice rug and colors that match my country bedroom.
I have had this rug for about three weeks. I got the gold color largest rug to put under the love seat in the living room.. The colors are muted and go very good with my sage color walls in the living room. This is not a thick plush rug so it is very easy to keep clean, considering we have 3 cats. I am very pleased with how the rug looks and the easy care.
Great floral rug in front of my sink, enjoyed every time I see it!
We just finished having hardwood floors installed all over our house, and we bought several of these rugs, in green, in different sizes. They are perfect and stick like glue! No slipping on the hardwoods! They look very vintage, are made incredibly well, and are totally fabulous!.. Great purchase! You won't be disappointed! We'll be back for more!
Good quality, true to the photo, works very well for me. Delivery was timely and the rug was packaged in such a way as to keep its shape intact...no fold lines.
This is a very pretty rug. I should have measured, however, because I would have ordered a larger size.
The rug is exactly as expected. I'm very satisfied with it.
We use this in our foyer to wipe our feet when it come in. It appears to be durable but we have not had it long enough.
This rug is really pretty.
I really like this rug (small gold) in my bedroom!
The rugs look great in my bedroom. The quality is what I expected.
Perfect mat for in front of kitchen sink. Only complaint is that color of flowers is not "red" or "pink" but more like a burgundy or lavender. Lays nice and flat.
Love these rugs. Use in entrance ways and in bedroom. Wish they were 10" longer. Colors are perfect.
We love these rugs! I wish I could use all 3 colors.
I use this small, very pretty, rug in front of my recliner.
Dissaointed in color, more Mint than Olive Green.
Can't use with other green butterfly rugs because it is so much lighter in color. it looks bleached out.
They are great and beautiful. Wonderful quality!!!
Please keep this in stock. Transformed my home! Awesomely beautiful!
Do wish there had been a size in-between this one and the next larger one, but this does the job. We're very pleased with it!
I put it at the bottom of basement stairs, with a lamp and animal pictures above it.
This rug is lovely in the living room of my tiny house. The colors are subtle, and the whites bring in the light. It s a focal point of the room and stays nice and flat. I love it.
Very satisfied with my rugs!
Very satisfied with the quality and appearance of these rugs. They are a nice look as you enter my home from two separate doors.
Haven't had it long enough to see how it will hold up and clean.
I love this rug I decided to change things up in our bathroom and this rug was perfect. Like that fact that it stays in place and it is just beautiful.
It is a nice size and shape for the bathroom. The color is much darker than what was shown in the catalog.
High traffic area. Holds up wonderfully well. Love the design.
The rugs are not only attractive but they are practical. Love that they have the non-skid backing on them so no one has any issues of slipping or tripping.
So sad. These rugs have a lovely design that I would have enjoyed in my entryway. Alas, they were the weight of a towel and had practically no backing. They scuffled up immediately. I had to return them.
I haven't had the rug long so I can't add anything about durability or cleaning ease. Seems to be good quality. I may get another is a larger size.
I bought this for our indoor garden room, which has a tile floor. This is a very nice addition, as it adds style and warmth. And I love the fact that you don't need a pad under the rug; because when you do use a pad, you sometimes see the outline of the pad.
These rugs are pretty, low profile & wash beautifully. We use them in front of our 3 recliners in the family room.
I've been looking for a linen/taupe color drug for our bathroom and this works nicely. The binding look sturdy...time will tell!
I owned a set of these rugs for a long time but they became worn so when I saw this rug, and it looked the same as the ones I owned, I ordered two different sizes of the same rug in the same color to replace the originals. The new rugs are completely different in color and somewhat different in pattern. Good thing they are not next to each other in the room. I am using them ONLY until I find something else to match the decor. Very, very disappointed.
One rug by the front door and one by the back door. Both look great and so far so good!
my order did come thru as placed. I ordered online a beige butterfly runner rug and an oval beige butterfly rug. I received the oval rug, but received a plain beige rectangle throw rug, which I did not order. So I never received the main runner rug which I wanted.
We put them in our front room and love them -- would have liked a smidge bigger but they do the job very well. They really brightened up that room!!!!
Beautiful, I love it. But it has 3 ink smears.
Bedroom rug. It is beautiful. The ink is smeared in three locations. I am not going to return it because it is too much effort and too expensive to send it.
Very Happy with purchase of these rugs.
They are an attractive addition to our laundry room walkway from the garage to the inner part of our home.
Using this rug in a mall bathroom. Perfect colors for my décor. I have no cons about it.
The rugs are simply beautiful!!!!
Looks like olive green when you open it, but depending on the light looks brighter on the floor. I washed it twice and it is falling apart...so the quality is not there! I have pets and need durable....too bad otherwise pretty!
I'm using the rug under a large potted plant in my dining room. It goes very n niicely with the "atmosphere" of the room.
GREAT QUALITY, GREAT RUGS !
The delivery was perfect timing ! Im satisfied with the rugs !
I'm using the rugs in our master bath-lovely w/o looking so "bathroomish".
Never arrived! Can't rate product.
Product never delivered. Web site doesnt show carrier or tracking info.
This rug is nothing like the picture in the catalog. If the return shipping wasn't so expensive I would send it back. I was expecting a Spring look and it is dark green, tan and purple. I won't be shopping from this catalogue again.
In front of kitchen sink. Washable.
With nice colors and good sizes I found these rugs just right for our kitchen.
I put it in the family room. Just laid it down and it laid perfectly. Not to thick or thin. My 3 yr old granddaughter loves playing on it. Only 3 butterflys on it and I bought the largest carpent.
Love, love, love this beautiful rug!!!
Love the softness of the colors, really fits into my bedroom decor.
for some reason I thought these were slightly larger, but they're great for their intended use. Feels good on bare feet and nice subtle design.
A much darker green than the picture.
It came a much darker green than in the picture and I almost returned it because of that. It only had two butterflies so don't know why it was called a butterfly rug. It was the right size for the room.
As noted by someone else,Due to packaging, comes out wrinkled on one end.I still like it very much.
Love the way it looks in front of my front door.
Pleasantly Surprised by this Rug!
This little rug pleasantly surprised me! I was a little nervous in ordering it online because I couldn't view the detail close-up on the website, but, took a chance and am glad I did. I love the color and print. It matches perfectly with the décor of my half bath and the compliments keep coming. The rug lies flat and is easy to wash. Best of all, my cats love to lie on it, too!
Attractive floral design, but there are no butterflies anywhere. They were rolled in a strange way so it's hard to get them to lie flat. Hopefully after a while they will.
The rugs are just the right color for my new kitchen. They really add a nice and improved look from the others I have had. | 2019-04-23T16:35:50 | https://www.freshfinds.com/products/butterfly-rugs?color=Beige |

In one recent vehicular accident case where the required language was not contained in the service agreement, the PEO and its client were deemed jointly liable for the grievous injuries incurred by passengers in another vehicle struck by the vehicle driven by a worksite employee. It is crucial that PEOs review all of their service agreements, particularly those that pre-date the enactment of Section 768.098, Florida Statutes to make sure that an addendum is entered into between the PEO and the client to place the required tort reform language in the service agreement. In most cases this should be able to be easily accomplished by a letter from the PEO to the client explaining that the PEO has no desire whatsoever to try to run a client’s business and that the addendum will make it clear that the client and not the PEO will control the client’s worksite. | 2019-04-22T01:08:10 | https://www.peolawyers.net/articles/fix-your-service-agreements/ |
I had the pleasure of DM’ing a game of Earthdawn last week. We got together most of the old group from high school and had a full day of gaming. It was great fun, but also displayed the strengths and weaknesses of Earthdawn, which was created in the mid-90s, compared to today’s games.
For those who might not know it, Earthdawn is sort of a high magic post-apocalyptic fantasy world with a dash of H.P. Lovecraft monsters.
Earthdawn’s main strength is its campaign world. It is incredibly rich and detailed and is much more coherent with actual logical explantions for dungons and ruins. Its world is full of jungles and Inca-like ruins, which is a welcome change from the standard ‘European’ setting.
The best part is probably is the way magic is described. There is an astral space layered on top of the real world, and inside that lurks many foul monsters and it has been tainted by the magical apocalypse. At the same time everything has names, and magical patterns that symbolize what it is, which can be viewed by many characters. This creates an extra layer of storytelling, as you can work in important locations or item’s symbolic meaning, and let characters perceive interesting things related to the background or plot. Magical items always have histories, and require deeds and quests to unlock. This is very much opposed to the ‘Detect Magic’ of Dungeons & Dragons.
Therefore for my new D&D campaign, I have merged the Feywilds, the Shadowlands and Astral Space to something more akin to Earthdawn’s astral space, and called it the Warrens (stolen from Steven Erikson’s excellent fantasy novels). They are also path’s to tread, and a place you can go, much like the Spirit World in the Werewolf the Apocalypse game. This takes some rewiring of a number of spells, but I hope it will pay off to make a more interesting magic experience in my campaign.
The Eartdawn system is quite ‘crunchy’. And I certainly had forgotten how long combat can take. One issue is initiative rolls every combat round. The reason for that is good – that some characters gain special advantages if they are acting before their enemy in initiative. But it really slows the game down.
It has one great thing going for though, which I hadn’t realized when I played it in high school. Combat is full of interesting choices. Many of the better combat abilities, such as avoiding an attack, either cost a little bit of damage, or extra magical energy (which you have to buy with experience), and spell casters can speed up the casting of their spells by accepting higher difficulty numbers. All this makes for very interesting combat, where almost every choice has to be weighed against its cost. I like that!
As I noted in a discussion on another RPG blog, it is a shame that the modules made for the game aren’t better. Most of them are railroading a lot, and although full of cool stories, they don’t exploit the backstory well enough.
The Parlainth Box set is one of the best expansions to the game (maybe to any game!), and has a general description of this ruined city and its inhabitants and wonders. It is a great play-ground. But why haven’t they made a fully detailed abandoned Kaer (apocalyptic fantasy shelter against lovecraftian horrors) as a dungeon module? Most of the Kaers in the modules are very small (only 8-12 rooms) and seem very inadequate as long lost self-sustaining communities. Why isn’t there a sandbox module with a village or town in trouble, and a range of adventures and adventure opportunities located around it? Sure the Dwarf Kingdom (Throal) source book comes close, but it only has the story ideas. Not the full mini-adventures.
All in all, I loved coming back to the game. I made a prequel to our very first adventure (Mists of Betrayal), set in Parlainth. But I don’t think I will be running another campaign in it, ever. I feel I have spent enough time in that setting, there is not enough left for me to explore, and I am very fond of the speed and ease of use of the new Dungeons & Dragons. | 2019-04-22T22:56:09 | https://mindlands.blog/2015/05/23/earthdawn-and-dd/ |
The 1977 film, Audrey Rose, tells the story of an annoying little girl named Ivy (Susan Swift), who is the daughter of annoying Janice (Marsha Mason) and annoying Bill (John Beck). Everything seems to be perfectly normal until, one day, they notice that they’re being followed around by an annoying man named Elliott (Anthony Hopkins). Elliott explains that Ivy is the reincarnation of his daughter, Audrey Rose. Whenever Elliott says, “Audrey Rose,” Ivy going into a trance and starts screaming. Elliott explains this is because Audrey died in a fiery car crash and was apparently reincarnated too soon after her death. Therefore, anytime Elliott shows us, Ivy relives the crash and tries to burn herself.
To me, it seems like there’s a simple solution to all of this. Elliott could just go away or, at the very least, stop saying, “Audrey Rose” every ten seconds. Anyway, at one point, Ivy starts screaming so Elliott rushes into the apartment and makes her stop. However, Elliott is accused of attempting to abduct Ivy, arrested, and put on trial.
Audrey Rose was directed by a legitimately great director, Robert Wise. Unfortunately, Wise takes the material way too seriously. Just when you think the film is going to be an over the top possessed child flick, it suddenly turns into a turgid and serious debate about reincarnation. The movie is so busy trying to be realistic that it forgets to be fun.
There’s also a lot of yelling in Audrey Rose. In between Ivy screaming and Elliott continually calling his dead daughter’s name and Bill arguing with Janice and random characters screaming whenever Ivy gets to close to a fire, it’s easy to get a headache while watching this film.
Mason and Beck are pretty lousy in the roles of Janice and Bill. Hopkins brings an occasionally neurotic edge to the role of Elliott. You never quite trust him, even though the movie wants you to. The best performances in the film come from the performers in the minor roles, character actors like Norman Lloyd, Robert Walden, and John Hillerman. None of them are required to pretend like they’re taking their dialogue seriously and, as such, they’re a lot more fun to watch.
All in all, Audrey Rose is a fairly silly movie. For some reason (probably the presence of Hopkins), it does seem to show up on TCM fairly regularly but I wouldn’t recommend watching. If you want to see a good Robert Wise horror movie, check out The Haunting.
I recall watching this last summer on TCM’s “Underground” They had a double feature of Anthony Hopkins horror movies. This one and the much better “Magic.” I must not have liked AUDREY ROSE because I don’t remember much about it. | 2019-04-19T16:42:25 | http://horrorcritic.com/audrey-rose-reviewed-by-lisa-marie-bowman/ |

Chinese New Year Food: What to eat?
Although there are a multitude of traditions that are part of Chinese New Year, enjoying a special meal with the family is the most important element of all. Particular significance is placed on the New Year’s Eve dinner (年夜饭- Nián yèfàn) or Reunion dinner (团年饭 - tuán niánfàn) where all family members must return home. It can be seen that food is the cornerstone of these celebrations.
Chinese New Year is a festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese calendar. It traditionally takes place from the evening preceding the first day of the year to the Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the year. The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between 21 January and 20 February. In 2019, the first day of the Lunar New Year will be on Tuesday, 5 February, initiating the Year of the Pig.
In Chinese, "fish" (鱼 Yú /yoo/) sounds like 'surplus'. The typical blessing is 年年有余 (Nián nián yǒuyú), wishing you to have a surplus (or fish) of food and money every year.
The fish should be the last dish left with some left over as symbolic of having surpluses every year. This is practiced north of the Yangtze River, but in other areas the head and tail of the fish shouldn't be eaten until the beginning of the year, which expresses the hope that the year will start and finish with surplus.
The position of the fish is also significant. The head should be placed toward distinguished guests or elders, representing respect. Diners can enjoy the fish only after the one who faces the fish head eats first. The fish shouldn't be moved. The two people who face the head and tail of fish should drink together, as this is considered to have a lucky meaning.
In Chinese, dumplings (饺子—jiǎo zi) sounds like 交子(jiāo zi). 交 (Jiāo) means “exchange” and 子(zi) is the midnight hours. Put together, jiāo zi is the exchange between the old and new year.
Making dumplings together at Chinese New Year is a tradition shared by almost every Chinese family around the world, but the practice has its roots in China's north, where the wheat used in the tender dumpling skins (jiaozi pi) was once a more commonplace staple than rice.
Chinese dumplings can be made to look like Chinese silver ingots and legend has it that the more dumplings you eat during the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make. When making dumplings there should be a good number of pleats as a flat junction it is thought to indicate poverty.
Spring rolls take their name from the holiday for which they're traditionally prepared: the Spring Festival (chunjie), also known as Chinese New Year. The crisp golden rolls are meant to symbolize bars of gold and bring wealth and prosperity in the year to come.
During the Jin Dynasty (circa 265-420), people would arrange spring rolls and vegetables together on a plate, known as the Spring Platter (春盘—chūn pán). Emperors would reward officials with these expensive platters during the Spring Festival.
The literal translation of changshou mian is "long-life noodles." These two-foot-long noodles make an appearance at birthdays in addition to the Chinese New Year, representing the wish for a long, happy, and healthy life. They are longer than normal noodles and uncut. Additionally you should try not to chew to preserve length of the noodle and your longevity.
In some places, it is customary to cook dumplings and noodles together. This is called "gold silk and gold ingots".
In ancient times, nian gao were used only as offerings to the ancestors and gods but gradually became a traditional dish during the Spring Festival. Legend has it that this sticky sweet snack was offered to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he cannot badmouth a human family in front of the Jade Emperor.
In Chinese, glutinous rice cake sounds like it means "'getting higher year-by-year" and correlates to the phrase "nian nian gao sheng," which means "increasing prosperity year after year'. There are many variations of nian gao but the main ingredients are sticky rice, sugar, chestnuts, Chinese dates, and lotus leaves.
These sweet rice balls typically are consumed during the 15th day of the celebration, known as the Yuanxiao Festival. The pronunciation and round shape of tangyuan are associated with reunion and being together. The roundness of the rice balls signifies a complete circle of harmony and unity within the family. | 2019-04-23T11:51:13 | http://www.lionbrand.com.au/blog/chinese-new-year-food-what-to-eat |
Should i make this car trade?
Howdy all, some much needed auto advice here.
thinking about trading my 1994 GMC conversion van for a 1989 mercedes 300se sedan.
the mercedes has 170,000 miles and only noted problem is a broken radio.
Are you talking about an even trade for what sounds like a mess of a Van for a Benz that so far doesn't have huge issues?
Dude, in this economy at least you can sleep in your van.
">Dude, in this economy at least you can sleep in your van.<"
That was a real useful comment!
Thanks. It was basically saying "keep the van over the Mers."
<< (original poster) i can sleep in my broken down vw van as well. so is the general concensus of the vast majority *Sarcasm* of responders to keep the van?
You know, This is why people answering questions need to register and log in so they have an identity. Multiple guests all trying to give advice just confuses everyone. Nobody knows who they are responding to.
Guest; I'd take Dad's advice. MBs are very expensive to work on. Parts are about triple in cost of a GM. You can do a lot of fixin' on the GM. Check on the price of a water pump or an alternator on the Mercedes. And, labor costs vs. the GM.
Check on the price of a water pump or an alternator on the Mercedes. And, labor costs vs. the GM.
True, but................. Their parts are higher quality and they need them replaced less often.

I have been using Macromedia products for my web site production for years. I just recently found a new way to design that has made my life a lot easier. Prior to the "Layers" feature, I always found it difficult to make a page look the way I wanted it to due to the fact that I had to put everything into tables or just position my images around my text and hope for the best. Now, Dreamweaver offers this killer shortcut to making a website: Layers. Imagine being able to put anything (text, tables, graphics, whatever) WHERE EVER you want!! This is an absolute godsend in the design world as far as I am concerned.
Now, I just discovered this feature in Dreamweaver 8. There were previous versions of Dreamweaver (MX2004, etc.) that also allowed for this feature. Either way, I am glad that I was able to find it and utilize it because it has made a considerable difference in the design for web sites for me.
The concept is simple: create a new page. To do this you must have first established within Dreamweaver's site manager a site from with which you will work in. By right clicking on the site name in the properties bar you get a drop down menu with multiple options, one of which is "New File". Create a new .html file and then double click that file to open it in the main Dreamweaver working window. The next step is to insert your first layer. Under the "Insert" section of the top tool bar go to "Layout Objects" and then to "Layer". A little blue box will appear on your page. If you click on the perimeter of the box you get these little squares around the perimeter of the box allowing for resizing. You will also notice a small square in the upper right hand side of the new layer which when you click your mouse button on this square it allows for you to reposition the layer to where ever you wish to place it on your site.
You can now place anything you want within this box (layer) including text, flash movies, graphics, tables, library items and so on. The most awesome feature of this is that you have total control over where it is placed on your page and Dreamweaver will automatically write in the html code the exact X & Y coordinates that your browser will translate to show the page properly. It doesn't get much better than this.
I found this feature to be very similar to working in Adobe Photoshop because with layers you have total control over every aspect of the design, without the stress associated with web design.
Now say you want to add some text to a layer but the text runs far off the page or far off the size of the layer box size you chose. Well Dreamweaver has resolved that issue as well. In the properties inspector at the bottom of the screen you have a drop down box labeled "Overflow". If you drop down this box you have a few choices, Visible, Hidden, Scroll, and Auto. For the example I am explaining here you would choose "Scroll". This tells Dreamweaver to write in the code that if your text over flows the size you designated for the layer box to insert a scroll feature allowing your visitors to scroll down the text to read whatever you placed in that layer box. Pretty slick!!
Other features with using layers is that you have a choice to name your layers in the Layers Tab on the upper right tool menu as well as setting the succession of each layer. I do highly recommend that if you decide to use multiple layers that you save yourself a major headache and label each layer in accordance with what it is related to on your screen. This makes editing the layer later on much easier.
Layers allow you to have the freedom within web design that should have been there all along. I suggest you give this a try and play with it and see what creative things you can come up with. Go nuts with this feature and have fun with it. You never know what will come out now that the boundaries have been dropped!
Other features that are pretty slick are the ability to overlap two images on a page. If you were doing an artistic presentation or something similar, this is a kewl feature which can be turned off on the upper right hand side of the "Layers" Properties box. Just put in a check mark under "Prevent Overlaps" and then you don't have to worry about it. Dreamweaver will automatically make sure that nothing overlaps in the layers. However if you did want to have an overlapping effect of say two images, then make sure that the Prevent Overlaps is unchecked and you will further unlock the magic of this wonderful feature.
In closing, this is a really awesome feature, but it takes some getting used to. It breaks all the rules of what we had previously learned that we could and couldn't do with web design. This takes that to the next level without making you reach for the aspirin.
A few other options include a command called "convert layers to tables" and "convert tables to layers". On the top tool bar in Dreamweaver, if you go to 'Modify' - Convert - you have the two options I just mentioned. Clicking on convert layers to tables will automate Dreamweaver to start calculating down to the pixel how to design a table out of the information you have given to it by placing layers on the page in certain areas. This feature is mainly used for those web surfers who have a browser that is not up to date (i.e. Version 5 or earlier of Internet Explorer or Netscape) The new versions of most major browsers now support and properly display layer content within the browser window. But if you think that your target audience might not have updated browsers, then you might consider this feature. Personally I don't use it because it is rare that people nowadays have outdated browser technology with all of the Automated Windows Updates and all.
The exact opposite if you choose convert tables to layers. If you already have a site and you built it in tables, choosing the option to 'convert tables to layers' will do just that.
I hope that this helps someone out who is doing their own design and wants to make their page look the way they envision it in their head without the stress of worrying about how to construct the right table and arranging things in that table to make it happen. Web design is moving forward and Macromedia has put the fun back into web design again!
What's so bad about using tables?Difficult and annoying to change styles.Positioning is difficult.Not Search Engine ….

Today I am going to show you an amazing WordPress Wp plugin that can make any WordPress website awesome. I will test elements of the design modules within the post to show you what can be done.
Its from elegant themes.This is not a review, but a honest write up on a amazing WP plugin that can transform your website design and look of your blog posts.
I love this plugin as you can use it with any theme. I have been using elegant themes and plugins for the past 7+ years.
This wordpress web builder plugin can make landing pages, faq pages, lead or sale buttons, your profile or portfolio page, an awesome price comparison page or just mix this all together in one page seamlessly. You could easily add any of these above mentioned features to any page on your website. The plugin that does this is called the divi builder plugin from elegant themes. I have been using elegant for the last 7 years and they are the most value for money wp theme provider IMHO.
To be honest I got to know about the divi builder plugin only a bit recently and I m a fan already. I like it because it does not restrict and can be used with any WP theme you have installed on your webpage. It can make your website look like a professional landing page in a minute, if you like . It builds webpages as responsive pages. You can easily chop and change design elements on a page including adding a pic background , transparent color background and many more features to any section of your page.
The beauty of this all is anybody can now design an awesome looking page or website with this website builder plugin without having to know any coding. This plugin uses the new drag and drop technology, where you can just drag a premade section or style to your page and drop it where you want it to appear. You can then go ahead and edit elements further if you want, like adding a background color or pic, changing the font and font colors size for that section, adjusting margins , padding etc and much more.
Using this plugin, I almost felt like i am using microsoft word and making an amazing looking document – its so easy. For people entirely new to websites or minimum knowledge of websites, this might still take a few days of getting used to how you use this plugin, but once you know what you can do with it, you will use it everywhere. what does this Website builder plugin cost – It is available with purchasing a yearly membership to elegant themes, but for sure you get much more in value than you can imagine with the membership fees. Details of fees below.
So what’s the price of their membership today ?
The cost for a elegant WP theme membership today is $89 per year. For this you get access to their whole collection of 87 premium wordpress themes, access to all plugins,updates and premium support. The got two awesome plugins Bloom ( email opt in plugins for collecting emails) and Monarch ( Social media sharing plugin) that by itself is of great value and is included with the membership fees.
They have an amazing 22 responsive themes and many more themes including ecommerce, magazine and 4 free tumblr themes.
The divi website builder plugin was built as an afterthought to the release of the Divi theme, but both of them are awesome in thier own ways. Divi theme has all the features of the divi builder inbuilt into the theme, while the builder plugin can be used as a stand alone wp plugin to work with any wordpress theme.
I actually tried this plugin on one website that i am building for a friend. I used the genesis pro theme with the divi builder plugin and was amazed I managed a google page 1 ranking for him within a week .
There is also the “EXTRA Theme” from elegant wordpress themes that makes use of the divi functionality and is an amazing theme itself out of the box. When I first purchased my elegant theme membership 5+ years ago it was only $39 a year for like 60 or so premium wordpress themes and it was a steal then. Today prices have increased with most premium wp theme and template providers, yet elegant is the cheapest with the most professionally coded themes on the internet.
When I first started blogging i was on a budget and purchased single themes costing me anywhere betwen $15 to $30 for each theme at that time. So when I came across 60 plus quality themes, it just made sense to sign up for a yearly membership. I didnt regret it and my active membership today and use of thier plugins is proof of that.
Apart from this plugin they do have some other amazing WP plugins like bloom and Monarch that I use on some other websites and those add value for the membership too.
I have websites as online web directories that I launched 3 years ago and still doing well with the elegant elist theme.
To be fair I do have other favorite theme providers too. After elegant, I would rate Solostream WP themes and the Studiopress Genesis themes as my second best WPtheme providers. I used to use wpzoom for quite some time, but then they started charging more for extended support etc , so I ditchedd them. Thier themes are still good and helped me rank sone sites up , but i feel Studiopress Genesis themes much better and getting ranked with thier in built seo. I have made sites that make me money withdc elegant themes and rank on google as well, so I hope im not confusing you.
Each theme provider has their own unique strong points and so its always good to sign up with at least three if you can afford to. If you cant then the choice is clear for me.
Below is live examples of different pre-made modules you can insert into you page or post with the divi builder plugin to design your page or post to look better.
The elegance of the blurb module can be seen int his example . You click and choose the blurb an then insert content. You can make the blurb a link or then also use an icon for the blurb, as we have done.
You can check out about me at my about page here, but I think Elly Glendenning from influencing.com has done a better job writing about me on their website Influencing.com over here.
I have the Divi Builder and I like it but can I also disable the builder and Word on the WordPress Editor itself.
I am using Divi builder but different Theme (not from Elegant Themes), how can I do full width modules (images and other types of content)?
Great Review – thanks. I’ve been using the Divi Builder and Divi since it was released – agree with everything you say – it’s an awesome tool. | 2019-04-23T10:11:14 | https://www.digitalgrog.com.au/wordpress/why-i-love-this-elegant-themes-website-builder-plugin/ |

What tends to make this list unique is it’s based completely on the techniques I have personally utilised, so I can reveal to you what I did and what my final results have been. For instance, if you happen to be aspiring to do one thing that many, many other folks want to do (so significantly so that they do it for free, as a hobby) then it will be far more difficult for you to make cash doing it. On the other hand, if you do something that most folks never want to do, or if you get extremely good at carrying out some thing most folks don’t do all that properly, then you can make a entire lot far more cash.
Whenever you’d come off to a internet site and generating income with domain names would be the subject – you are going to likely hear the same factor present on different internet sites scattered around: there is income in it getting an expired domain name and either reselling it or parking it and make a couple of single bucks from the advertisements on an empty website.
I’ve attempted numerous occasions to make easy money” employing several of these strategies, but it basically does’t function unless your prepared to put the time and effort into it. You can pick any of these approaches and make them operate (except the extremely simple ones like swagbucks, exactly where you will not but make a handful of dollars a month possibly).
Online business is feasible, but there appears to be a lot of low cost competition, and the purchaser is taking a fairly massive opportunity not knowing the artist personally or seeing the function in the flesh.. On-line portraits typically implies functioning from photographs, which can be somewhat tough, specially if the photo is dire!
They leave simply because of their inability to handle their emotions which they blame on their greater point to do is understand how to become emotionally intelligentReading about inquiries couples ask themselves and emotional properly getting is one the techniques men and girls can prepare themselves to learn how to manage their feelings and remain with their families. | 2019-04-26T09:49:06 | http://careerth.com/my-leading-ten-strategies-to-make-funds-on-the-internet.html |
During a heartfelt testimony in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s new exhibit, ‘A Game for Life’, Gold Jacket Jim Kelly explains how the values of the game helped prepare him for his greatest challenge in life, cancer.
Kelly, who is a head and neck cancer survivor has now teamed up with leading cancer organizations and Merck to launch a new awareness campaign, Your Cancer Game Plan. The program focuses on helping people with cancer and their love one’s deal with the emotional and physical ills of this disease.
Helping patients through various programs from nutrition and communications needs, Kelly plans to put his motto ‘Kelly Tough’ into action. A motto that he adopted from his playing days as one of the toughest quarterbacks to have ever played in the National Football League. ‘Kelly Tough’ took on a new meaning with the Hall of Fame signal-caller was diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell cancer, in his upper jaw, in 2013.
Kelly underwent surgery, but after a follow-up test, he found out the cancer had returned and he would need to receive further treatment. Finally, in August 2014, doctors gave Kelly the good news that they could no longer find evidence of cancer.
Your Cancer Game Plan is a collaboration between Merck, the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance (HNCA) and Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer (SPOHNC), the leading patient organizations supporting the head and neck cancer community for nearly six decades combined, and Savor Health, a service dedicated to supporting the nutritional needs of people living with cancer. | 2019-04-20T05:27:52 | https://www.profootballhof.com/gold-jacket-jim-kelly-partners-with-merck-to-kick-off-your-cancer-game-plan/ |
I was having trouble thinking of something good to do for Y, when the lovely ladies in the Starship suggested what was to them the obvious solution – yarn! I got a skein of handdyed cotton yarn from the wonderful Blonde Chicken Boutique, and then set to work. She sent me this gorgeous variegated light pink, so I used my favorite periwinkle paint and purple gel pen to create a background that looked like a tangle of yarn, then embroidered in the letter and border with the lovely pink yarn. I glued the paper to a cardboard backing so it wouldn’t tear through, and now it’s all ready for your favorite knitter, Yael or Yakov.
Y is for Yarn, 5″x5″ handdyed yarn, Japanese watercolor and glitter gel pen on paper and cardboard.
Above, you can see the shine of light off the purple glitter, and the textures of real and imagined yarn juxtaposed on the mottled periwinkle background. Below, the Y is hanging out with W and A to make WAY on my desk. | 2019-04-21T21:06:31 | http://antemortemarts.com/2013/02/y-is-for-yarn/ |

Senator John McCain and fellow Vietnam POWs gather on the altar of the U.S. Naval Academy chapel during last month's memorial service for Vice Admiral Bill Lawrence.
During World War II, the nation's defense industry was known as the "arsenal of democracy." It built the ships, submarines, tanks, planes, and other ordnance that allowed the Allies to crush the original Axis of Evil. Fifteen years after the war ended, in his farewell address, Ike warned of what he called "the military-industrial complex." The industry has spent the years since defending itself against a smorgasbord of charges, some on target, others reckless. | 2019-04-18T15:09:05 | https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2006/february/editors-page |

A recent survey from New Zealand found that the majority of e-cigarette users turned to the devices in order to quit smoking, and most importantly, most of them managed successfully.
The online survey was distributed to 218 vapers, and the research was led by Dr. Penny Truman from Massey University. Almost all participants were found to be ex smokers, but a significant three quarters had managed to quit, and the remainder reduced significantly. Only three of the participants were not smokers before taking on vaping and they had not proceeded to smoke regular cigarettes.
Most of the participants also said that in the morning they wait longer to vape then they did to smoke, and they tended to reduce nicotine levels over time. “Most of the participants had changed the type of vaporiser they used several times. There was also a pattern of moving away from tobacco flavoured e-liquids, experimenting with many different flavours until they found several they liked and then continued to use on an ongoing basis.” said Truman.
Only three of the participants were not smokers before taking on vaping and they had not proceeded to smoke regular cigarettes.
In line with previous research, this study seems to indicate that vaping is less addictive than smoking. In fact data released last Summer by researchers from Penn State College of Medicine, found that vapers are less dependent on their electronic devices, than smokers are on combustible cigarettes. This study which was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Center for Tobacco Products, consisted of an ongoing national survey of tobacco use of over 30,000 participants comprised of both young and mature adults.
The researchers had been filtering the responses given, by looking for regular smokers and vapers, which left them with a total of 3,586 participants. Five percent of these were vapers, while the remaining 95% were smokers. From the 5% e-cigarette users, 93% were ex-smokers, while the other 7% only experimented with cigarettes.
The researchers from the new NZ survey, who included renowned Massey public health Professor Marewa Glover and former director of Action on Smoking and Health (Ash) Trish Fraser, pointed out that the results indicate the importance of making vaping products available to smokers.
Last March, associate Health Minister Nicky Wagner had said that e-cigarettes would be legalized and that New Zealand was adopting a low risk approach since scientific evidence about the the safety of e-cigarettes is still being developed. However, almost a year later, no formal action has been taken to initiate the legalization process. | 2019-04-20T14:34:03 | https://www.vapingpost.com/2018/02/08/nz-most-e-cigarette-users-turned-to-vaping-to-quit-smoking/ |

Campbell Mindy Shoe Personal 2 Style Tan Jeffrey Market he Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is the safest and most environmentally sensitive way to transport crude oil from domestic wells to American consumers. It is the result of an extensive process that involved review and approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and regulators in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. It will be among the safest, most technologically advanced pipelines in the world.
This $3.8 billion project crosses almost entirely private land, often already in use for other utility easements. The Dakota Access Pipeline does Personal Market Shoe 2 Mindy Campbell Jeffrey Style Tan not cross the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, even at the portion of the pipeline that is the subject of dispute at Lake Oahe. In developing the route, the United States Army Corps of Engineers had hundreds of contacts with dozens of tribes regarding the Dakota Access project.

I hope most of you have far more exciting plans for this evening that Jim and I do. I’m always torn on New Year’s Eve. The thought of going and doing something wonderfully fun is always appealing. But then again, so is staying home with a bottle of champagne and a table full of munchies…which is the itinerary for tonight.
I used to want to go to NYC and see “the ball drop.” But in recent years, that plan seems less and less attractive. I mean, the actual drop of the ball isn’t that interesting. It’s not like it even drops. It just sort of slowly slides down the pole, almost as if it’s got honey in its track or something. Not to mention the herds of people, the freezing cold….we seem to forget that part when we’re sitting in our nice warm living rooms. If I were to spend New Year’s in New York, I’d want to find a place to go where there’s a party inside and a nice place on a roof somewhere to watch the fireworks. OR….I’d want a fancy schmancy suite at the Marriott Marquis that faces out to Times Square and room service filling every surface. That’s how I’d do New York.
Sydney. I’ve always wanted to go to Australia. I visited New Zealand a few years back. It was pretty lovely. I’d go again. But it’s definitely not the same as Australia. But on New Year’s Eve in the southern hemisphere, it’s summer. How weird would it be to celebrate the new year in WARM weather? Weird, but definitely cool. I’d do Australia.
Seriously, though. I think you’d need a boat. How cool would that be!?
Seattle. I know, I know. We were talking about cold. And honestly, I’ve been in Seattle on New Years. At the foot of the Space Needle to be exact. It was cold. It was not, however, too crowded. I wish I’d had a better camera because the views of the fireworks behind the Space Needle were incredible. On the other hand, if I were to go again, with my nice shiny wonderfully adept camera, I’d probably go to the party at the top rather than hang out at the bottom. What the heck good is a $200 per ticket party if you can’t even drink? (I was 19 at the time).
So far, I think those are the only other places I have a real interest in going. That being said, I’m sure that any city that I love would be cool to go to. I mean, take Paris, for instance. It’s supposed to be the most romantic city in the world (I say supposed to because I went with a friend…not a lover [ala Carrie Bradshaw] and it was NOT the romantic experience you would expect…I mean, obviously), I’d imagine huddled together with your lover with a steamy cafe latte and fireworks over the Seine with the Tour d’Eiffel in the foreground would be a pretty amazing New Year’s too.
Alas, my couch calls my name. And the freezer full of fattening goodies my husband and I will consume tonight along with our bottle of peach flavored champagne (neither of us likes regular champagne…in fact, we toasted wine at our wedding)…and any other bottles of goodness we may find in the kitchen….
….assuming we make it past 10 p.m. We’re so old.
In my last post, I made some comments about my dislike for “New Year’s Resolutions,” but I’d like to clarify my thoughts a little bit.
I’m not entirely opposed to the concept. I think it’s a great idea to have goals and to work toward making yourself a better person in some way. I personally enjoy having goals, and I’ll go into mine a little bit more later. My problem with resolutions is that people expect a miraculous change, in the form of reaching their goals, but also in their own motivation to work toward them.
Nothing changes between December 31st and January 1st that couldn’t change between March 18th and March 19th. So while the new year provides a fresh start and a great place to begin new goals, it’s unlikely that huge life changes will take place, simply because it’s time to buy a new calendar.
That being said, I do have some goals for the new year. A lot of them have to do with our finances, which makes the new year a good place to start because it’s the start of the fiscal calendar too. And some of them are personal, too, and a lot of them have come about because of recent changes in my health. So the new year really has quite a small role in my goal planning.
As I was browsing some of my favorite blogs yesterday, I came across this post by Tina at Best Body Fitness. She bases her new year’s goals on a theme, rather than a list of desired results.
The concept fascinated me, and I instantly remembered a conversation with my good friend, Christie, last week. We were talking about how I don’t have the energy to go to the gym even though it’s the option for my evening that I should choose. Christie responded by saying she always tries to make the right decision, even if it feels too hard. And, as a result, she ends up feeling better than she had when she’d made the decision to do the harder thing.
How lucky am I that my close friend is also an ordained wedding officiant?!
So my blanket goal for 2012 is to always make the decision that seems right for the situation, even if it’s the harder of my possible options. That’s not to say that the right thing will always be clear. There’s still an element of judgement in there, but usually I know what I should do versus what I want to do.
And yes, I’ve already started. Last night, as my eyes drooped to the floor and my muscles gave me hell the entire time I was changing into my tennis shoes and stretchy capris, I went to the gym. And no, I didn’t spend an hour doing a wonderfully intense workout, but I did my best. I gave it all I had (which happened to be 30 mins of cardio, but hey, it was something!), and I felt good about it when I got home, took a shower and allowed myself to flop ont he couch with my book until my husband came home and I had to make dinner.
Along with my blanket goal of trying to always make the right decision, I have a few small goals.
1. I’d like to get my finances in order. And when I say that, you probably imagine a gigantic mess, but really, I don’t think it’s as bad as I make it out to be. We have our wedding to pay off, most of which is on my credit card and we would like to get our savings built back up so we can have a down payment for a house in the near future. I think mostly I feel uncomfortable carrying a balance on my credit card. I’m one of those pay-it-off-every-month people, and seeing multiple thousand dollars on it just freaks me out!
2. I’ve already started this one, but I’d like to feel like I’m comfortable being me. And I’m not even sure what that means or who I actually am, but I figure there are a few pieces of this puzzle.
a. I need to learn to let go of the things. A good example is my sister-in-law. She drives me nuts because she moves before she thinks and a lot of times she comes off as being very selfish and controlling. And I don’t surround myself with those kinds of people. But she’s family now. So I need to learn to just let it go. Another good example is my messy house. I’m messy, and as much as I’d like to be a neat freak, I’m not, and I need to learn to accept it.
b. I need to listen to myself. I think I ignore myself when I feel things I don’t want to feel. I think I have this image in my head of the person I want to be and I ignore all feelings, thoughts, etc that don’t fit into that image.
Awful, right? But part of my journey to this goal has been trying to figure out why I do it. And I’ve come up with this: It’s never been okay to just be me. For example, my grandmother used to take my spoon/fork/crayon/ball out of my left hand and put it in my right because she didn’t want me to be left-handed. My other grandmother’s favorite phrase was “that’s not ladylike.” So I’ve gone my whole life watching my every move to make sure it’s going to be acceptable to everyone around me. Let me tell you, it’s exhausting!
But it’s time to care about what I think, what I want and what works best for me (…and my husband of course).
I don’t, however, know exactly how I plan to do that. The process has been etched into my brain. It’s how I think, it’s my natural instinct to consider these things before I speak, before I act. And my goal is to retrain myself to think about me first.
So those are my goals. The past year has been pretty crappy, but I have hopes that 2012 will be a year of growth and change and hopefully lots of joy.
I dislike “New Year’s Resolutions.” I mean I get the idea. I get that we all want to better ourselves and what better way to start fresh than the beginning of a brand new year?
But to me, shouldn’t the desire to be a better person in some way be reason enough to make a goal? Why does the new year have to mark your starting point? It’s December 27th, why not start today instead?
Because that’s not how you do it, I guess. People would rather wait until January 1st to flock to the gyms, where they’ll then leisurely stroll along on the elliptical machines in their brand new perfectly matched gym outfits and talk on their cell phones for ten whole minutes of cardio! When that gets boring…oh, about March at the very latest, the gyms will go back to the manageably crowded places they are for nine and a half months out of the year.
Sometimes I think people make resolutions just for the sake of making them. Maybe so they can tell their families and friends to prepare for the day when the brand new shinier, thinner, smarter, happier version of their former selves will emerge.
Mostly, though, I believe people have good intentions. They truly want to make themselves better. But I think making a “New Year’s resolution” might just be setting them up for disaster. Rather than setting a life-altering goal, we should set smaller goals that maybe don’t look as fabulous as the New Years Eve dress you plan to wear with your new body next year, but that are actually possible to achieve.
Or maybe I’m just cynical. That’s a possibility too.
Lately I’ve been feeling entirely uninspired. I’ve been exhausted. A little overwhelmed. But mostly exhausted, and that leaves me wanting to do absolutely nothing…except for sleep.
…I’ve been trying to write this post since 10 a.m. and it’s just not happening.
All I feel like doing is sleeping. Or watching tv. Or reading. Or anything else I can do from a horizontal position.
I’m still waiting to hear back from the doctor about my blood work from last week. People keep telling me my symptoms sound like a thyroid problem, but I was tested for that a few years ago, so I don’t think it’s that, although I guess things can change. I think mostly I am afraid they’re going to tell me that nothing is wrong at all. That I’m feeling tired all the time and there’s no reason for it.
I’m also afraid they’re going to tell me it’s due to stress. I know I have a lot of stress. Today was a classic example: bills + family issues + me taking on extra things I want to do, but don’t have time for = a nice little pain in Stephanie’s chest and an almost breakdown at work.
And I think that’s all this post is going to get from me tonight. | 2019-04-21T22:04:40 | https://mrandmeatless.wordpress.com/2011/12/ |

Kendrick Lamar was once again denied a Grammy for Album of the Year — and the Internet is not happy about it.
At the 60th annual Grammy Awards Sunday night, Lamar was up for seven awards, including Album, Record and Song of the Year. Instead, Bruno Mars swept the three major categories despite steep competition from artists like Lamar, Childish Gambino, and Jay-Z. Mars won all six of the Grammys he was nominated for.
Lamar previously lost out on Album of the Year — the most prestigious award of the ceremony — to Taylor Swift in 2016 and Daft Punk in 2014 despite strong offerings with To Pimp a Butterfly and Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. A number of social media users noticed the trend and criticized The Recording Academy’s decision to leave Lamar without the coveted trophy for the third time running. | 2019-04-24T20:17:38 | http://time.com/5122724/kendrick-lamar-bruno-mars-grammys/ |

Apple announced a while back at their lets talk iPhone media event that iTunes Match would launch by the end of October, we are now in November and Apple hasn’t given any update on when iTunes Match will officially launch.
iTunes Match is basically a service that will match whatever music you have in your iTunes library and will then let you stream the music direct to your iOS device from the cloud and the service will cost $24.99 per year.
It isn’t clear as yet when the iTunes Match service will launch, Apple is reported to have signed deals with all the major record labels in the US for iTunes Match and are also reported to be in talks with labels in other countries which include Europe and the UK, although the service is expected to be US only at first. | 2019-04-24T18:00:33 | https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/apple-misses-itunes-match-launch-date-02-11-2011/ |
We talked to Arlene [Klasky, co-creator], we talked to Nickelodeon, and we said, 'Let's do that she's divorced.' And they said, 'No, no, we don't want to touch divorce. That's too heavy a subject, we don't want to go there.' So we said, 'Okay... so... you know... that means... Chuckie's mom... is dead?' And they go, 'No! No! No! We definitely don't want to talk about that, that's scary! Children don't want to see that.' So if we can't say that she's divorced, and we can't say that she's dead, we can't talk about her. If you watch the first 65 half-hours of Rugrats, they never mention Chuckie's mom --- or if they do, it's a tease.
If you can remember back to your years of watching Rugrats (which, thanks to DVD sets, may not be so long ago), you may remember that we never really knew what the deal was with Chuckie's mom early on in the show's run. Germain told EW that this was basically Nickelodeon's doing, as they didn't really want the kids viewing to have to tackle any sort of tough material. I personally feel that if Bambi could do it, Nickelodeon could do it, which is why the network may have changed its mind later on, choosing to state that Chuckie's mom had died.
However, fans had to wait for a later version of the series before the show would ultimately decide to go down that path, showing us Melinda Finster, who was voiced by Kim Cattrall and shown in flashbacks. After Rugrats' initial run, the animated series grew more popular in reruns and was rebooted with the same characters but a different staff. That's when we met Tommy's little brother Dil in The Rugrats Movie, got even more additional episodes filled with backstories and even got the All Grown Up! project. I'm not going to say all of those were great ideas.
We mention that she exists but we don't tell you what happened to her. We even made a joke out of it in one episode. But we weren't allowed to go into the subject.
Despite the fact that Rugrats went through many staffing changes over time, fans still stuck with the crew of amusing youngsters. The series is still so well-liked today that the creative team has talked about bringing the animated series back and that reality might not be so far off thanks to Splat. For now, you can check out what is coming to TV this fall with our premiere schedule. | 2019-04-25T14:00:55 | https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1544481/why-rugrats-couldnt-talk-about-chuckies-mom-in-the-beginning |
Obesity is one of the biggest ‘public health’-issues nowadays and for the future.

International knowhow and best practices related to the fight against obese, such as the MEND program from the UK, are being used during the preparation and implementation of research into the practical impact of interventions. Successful Dutch sports- and exercise interventions have not been implemented on international scale yet.
In joint cooperation with local (youth) healthcare organisations, local sports- and exercise providers are stimulated to realise an extensive and/or larger offering of programs for obese children. For this they can utilize proven, successful interventions such as ‘Cool 2B fit’ and ‘Realfit’ and rely on 2 years of financial subsidies by the government. These initiatives have resulted in an increase in The Netherlands of high quality sports- and exercise programs for obese children.

Blurb Izzie Spencer-Harris, owner of the Cotswold Art and Craft Centre, is due to host the prestigious Cotswold Choir’s annual Christmas carol concert in her beautiful converted church. Or at least she was, until a storm smashed a hole right through the chancel roof. Days from Christmas, Izzie suddenly finds herself up to her neck in DIY, with her last dodgy workman having walked off the job. She does the only thing she can … calls in her best friend Megan to help.
I’ve always loved the Cotswolds, and was lucky enough to grow up not too far from their villages filled with yellow stoned picturesque cottages and stunning churches. For me, once I’d decided to take Megan away from Pickwicks for a while, the Cotswolds was the obvious choice of location. It is precisely the type of area I can imagine Izzie setting up an arts and craft centre, which- were it real- I have no doubt would flourish! I’d go there for sure. It has a café after all! | 2019-04-21T08:21:18 | https://jennykane.co.uk/blog/to-the-countryside-christmas-in-the-cotswolds-2-2/ |

The word solstice is formed from Latin sol, “sun”, and sistere, “to come to a stop, to stand still”.
So the Sun stands still at this time of year, either at the zenith or the nadir of the annual cycle, depending on the hemisphere in which you dwell. Either way, it is the point of « enantiodromia », the still point from which the return to the opposite commences: winter starts moving towards summer, and the days slowly grow; summer starts moving towards winter, and the nights inexorably increase. Together north and south form a dance, like a double spiral, expanding and contracting in relation to each other's activity.
If you're at the winter-point of this cycle, plant the seeds that determine the arc of your next six months. If you're at the summer-point of this cycle, you are at the culmination of seeds already cast, and your arc will begin its decline. Plan how you will harvest your fruits.
In terms of religious symbolism, it may be noted that Christ is traditionally born at the nadir of the year, in the midst of wintery death, signifying light emerging from darkness. In Spring, when the world shakes off Winter's shackles and comes to life, Christ is killed and overcomes death. Once again, it holds to the principle that each pole contains its opposite. Birth in the midst of death; death in the midst of life. “In the midst of winter”, remarks Albert Camus, "I discovered within me an invincible summer (Au milieu de l‘hiver, j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été). | 2019-04-23T18:28:41 | http://www.aaroncheak.com/news/2014/12/22/the-sun-stands-still |
College Prep: How Do You Know If Your Teen Is Ready for College?
As you and your teen begin the transition to college, it’s easy to get caught up in the flurry of college prep courses, ACT or SAT practice tests, and college admission and student loan applications. However, have you stopped the cyclone of the college application process to consider if your offspring is truly ready for college?
Does your teen demonstrate age-appropriate maturity and independence?
A college education and fruitful campus life require your student to be organized and self-sufficient. No one is going to push your adult child out of bed in the morning and make him to go to class. As part of your teen’s college prep, he should know how to balance a checkbook, seek a doctor, keep up with personal hygiene, manage his nutrition, and do laundry without supervision.
Is your teen motivated by the college admissions process?
Intrinsic motivation: She is really excited about college and is very involved in the process of applying for college.
Default motivation: She is filling out college applications and taking college entrance exams because it’s the next thing a high school graduate is supposed to do.
External motivation: Attending a college or university is what you want her to do, but she doesn’t know why she’s going.
Put simply: If the internal motivation to attend college is not there, it’s time to consider why and how that’s going to affect your teen’s readiness.
College prep courses are a great way to help your teen get engaged with the process of applying to college and preparing for college entrance exams.
Has your teen challenged himself in school and excelled at college-level studies?
Is your teen emotionally stable and resilient?
A great way to gauge if your student is emotionally stable and resilient when it comes to having a successful academic career is to let her fill out college application forms without your interference. Part of college prep is letting her get a feeling for what independence is really like, including the pragmatic pressures that come along with adult responsibilities. Look for other opportunities to give her adult-level responsibility. Watch for signs of frustration and notice whether she is easily defeated, then guide her in how to bounce back and face these challenges head-on.
If you answered “yes” to the majority of these questions, your teen is ready for college.
If you are still unsure if your teen has the right qualities for transitioning to college, take our free quiz, College Entrance Exams: Is Your Student Ready? This quiz will help you dive deeper into college prep issues. | 2019-04-23T06:15:57 | https://www.doorwaytocollege.com/college-prep-how-do-you-know-if-your-teen-ready-college |

NOTA (Music review), Telugu – Sam C.S by Milliblog!
Yeththara Yeththara, with its adequately pumping music, works perfectly as a song featuring multiple shots! Yazin Nizar’s lead vocals and Swagatha S. Krishnan who joins later, keep the song consistently interesting. Nithyasree Mahadevan’s phenomenal singing lifts the Middle Eastern sound of Raja Raja Kula even as Abhay Jodhpurkar’s hook gets an anthemic treatment. Of the 2 instrumentals, The Rise of a Leader is impressively grand, while Power Play is understandably sinister, much like the short Yevari Paapam sung by Sarath Santhosh. Aravind Srinivas’ other short song, Hey Minister is an angry outburst at political apathy. Short, showy soundtrack by Sam! | 2019-04-22T18:03:40 | http://milliblog.com/2018/10/03/nota-music-review-telugu-sam-c-s/ |
