First. The Hutchinson Stopper is connected with a spring handle by a single wire, which makes the liability for collecting dirt very slight compared with those Stoppers having a jointed or hinged bail, or having two wires connected with the stopper or valve, which are very hard to clean when they get dirty.
Second. The Spring in the Hutchinson Stopper is unlimited in its movement, consequently adjusts itself to all sizes of throats, and any little variation in the size of the throat of the bottle makes no difference in its working well. All other Stoppers imitating ours, that is, having a spring action to hold them open and closed, have a limited movement of the spring and are liable, through a slight wear of the wire or variation in the size of the neck of the bottle, to become loose, and are therefore useless as a perfect stopper.
Third. The Hutchinson Stopper is made very strong; the spring being of heavy tinned brass wire, which is not liable to break or get out of place from hard usage. Unlike the other stoppers made, which, in order to save time and money, are too light to stand hard usage, or the hinged or jointed stopper, which is easily broken or becomes unjointed inside of the bottle making them useless, and almost impossible to extract them from the bottle.
Fourth. The Hutchinson Stopper can be easily extracted from the bottles, and if the rubber washer gets out of order a new one can be put on, and the Stopper will be good as ever. The rubber washer is the only part of the Stopper which ever wears out, and it can be easily replaced with new when desired, which is another distinguishing feature of Hutchinson's Patent Stopper.
…put up on a split handle, adapted to straddle the stopper spring in the bottle, when the rubber comes in contact with the throat of the bottle, and by turning it around removes all the dirt. It is not necessary to use this all the time, but if necessary, it can be done very quickly.
Save time and labor, which means money, by re-rubbering old Soda Stoppers.
By J. C. O'Bannon, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Bottlers who have complaints of the bad odor of their Soda will find that many times it is the cause of the rubber discs in the Hutchinson style stoppers. This can be done away with by letting the stoppers lay for four or five days in a solution of Burnt Sugar and after five days wash and rinse them and insert in bottles. This applies especially in a hot climate.
TO MAKE RUBBER STOPPERS TASTELESS.
Cover the stoppers with water, add a few ounces of lump sugar and let them soak for a few days, stirring once or twice daily with a stick. After this treatment wash them and they are ready for use.
By E. Goltz & Son, Wadena, Minn.
When rubber disc on spring stoppers get hard, soak half an hour in two parts Ammonia and one part water.
By Commerce Bottling & Mfg. Co., Commerce, Texas.
We find that when putting new rubbers on spring stoppers if the bottom of the stopper is scraped with a knife it will do away with a sediment in the goods, that very often you cannot tell the cause of. Shotting will not take this off, but you can scrape it off without injury to the stopper.
By Louis G. Uehling, Hooper Bottling Works, Hooper, Neb.
Save all our spring stoppers out of broken bottles, and those you pull out of bottles when rubbers are worn out and put on new rubber discs and you will find there is quite a little account saved each year. Any supply house will supply you with all the rubber discs you need at 35 cents to 50 cents per gross. Your stoppers thus repaired will be as good as new.
TO CLEAN HUTCHINSON SODA STOPPERS.
By C. N. Mead, Ballston Spa, N.Y.
Take a 5 gallon keg, cut a hole in the head or side, put in some fine sand and a little washing powder or Gold Dust, take the old rubbers off, then put the stoppers in the keg and give them a good rolling for a few minutes. You will find the stoppers bright and good as new. Then put new rubbers on.
By John W. Radley, Snyder, Okla.
In replacing rubber disc on Hutchinson stoppers, place disc in vessel containing hot water, let stand a few minutes before operation, and you will find the losses will be few or none.
By H. A. Ralu, Colon, Republic of Panama.


The first public presentation of the celebrated Fisher Collection, one of the world's foremost private collections of contemporary art, is on exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) from June 25 through September 19, 2010.
Doris and the late Don Fisher started collecting art more than 40 years ago, first purchasing prints for the offices of the Gap, the retail company they co-founded in 1969. As the Gap grew, so did the Fishers' art collection. They ultimately amassed a breathtaking and significant collection of art created from 1928 to the present, including more than 1,100 works by 185 artists.
The Fishers wanted their entire collection to be on display — not kept in storage. They ultimately offered to spend $100 Million to build and maintain a museum in San Francisco's Presidio National Park. This former U.S. Army fort is now reserved for recreational and cultural uses.
When the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and neighborhood groups strenuously objected to the proposed museum location, the Fishers dropped the plan. There was talk about the collection moving to Los Angeles, among other places, but just two days before Don Fisher died, it was revealed that SFMOMA would house the collection, although it would need to expand to adjacent property to do so.
SFMOMA's exciting exhibition contains only a preview — 160 captivating works out of the 1,100 pieces in the collection are shown. In organizing the exhibit, curator Gary Garrels mirrored the Fishers' philosophy of collecting significant artists' works in depth.
The show, displayed on the fourth and fifth floors and the Rooftop Garden, concentrates on art by Alexander Calder, Chuck Close, Philip Guston, Ellsworth Kelly, Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Agnes Martin, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol. Unlike most private collections, it includes broad groupings of seminal pieces by these 20th-century masters and traces their creative evolution through entire bodies of work.
In the fifth-floor galleries, the presentation explores in-depth holdings of five artists — with large galleries devoted to numerous works by each.
Alexander Calder was Don Fisher's favorite artist. The exhibit contains some major Calder works including a delightful small sculpture, Aquarium (1929) and eight fabulous mobiles. I wish they hadn't all been placed in one gallery, as my eyes kept flitting from one mobile to the next. I had to revisit the mobiles at the end of the show in order to appreciate each piece individually.
The seven bold and colorful iconic pieces by Ellsworth Kelly in two galleries as well as one sculpture in the Rooftop Garden, show off his talent admirably and are particularly well displayed. The four Richard Serra sculptures, although remarkable examples of his work, seemed a bit lifeless under the fifth floor lighting.
The works by Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter evidence the collection's strength in contemporary German painting. Kiefer's powerful pieces are enhanced by his use of straw on the canvases, adding depth and meaning to his works.
Half of the fourth-floor galleries highlight the collection's broad holdings of abstract art, beginning with two gestural paintings by Sam Francis, and art by Philip Guston, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Agnes Martin, Cy Twomby and Frank Stella. The three large mixed media Stella pieces, especially, The Chase, Third Day (1989), sparkle — literally and figuratively.
The other half of the fourth floor centers on Pop and figurative art. Pop works by Roy Lichtenstein include a simple small work, Radio (1962) as well as later pieces, such as Reflections: Whamm! (1990). Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's Geometric Apple Core (1991) is a Pop standout.
In addition, two galleries contain the work of Chuck Close, highlighting fourteen of the artist's monumental portraits. Figurative works by David Hockney and Wayne Thiebaud are shown together. I was particularly taken with Thiebaud's Valley Streets (2003), which draws upon real and imagined city and rural elements to create a two-dimensional dream-like cityscape.
The art in Calder to Warhol-Introducing the Fisher Collection has not been on public display before. That alone makes the show exciting and thought provoking. The exhibit is also tantalizing, as one imagines the greater part of the collection that still remains to be seen.For those who wish to enjoy the best of 20th-century art, this is a not-to-miss exhibit. And don't forget to visit the Rooftop Garden.


This copper 12v eyelid fitting is a low energy, high output white LED brick and recessed light which consumes a small amount of power and stays cool to the touch.
The Navigator Eye is a low energy, high output white LED recessed light which consumes a small amount of power and stays cool to the touch. The warm white LED produces a wide 80 degree beam diffused by the 28mm diameter frosted lens to provide soft lighting compatible with the colour of halogen garden lighting. Install it to light across individual steps or in a wall about 40cm above a patio or deck.
Colour/Finish: Natural copper weathers to a mottled brown finish which blends well with red brick and timber, especially darker hardwood decking.
Construction: Long life high-output LED resin-encapsulated behind a frosted glass lens in a stainless steel case. The case has a spring mount which locates the light in a sleeve used to prepare positions in concrete, paving or walls. They can be recessed without the sleeve in decking sleeper walls and other materials using a 44mm hole saw. Diameter 60mm (sleeve 48mm; 44mm cutout without sleeve); recess depth 75mm.
Input Voltage: 12v 2.2W: NAVIGATORS should be connected to 1.5mm or 2.5mm ground burial low voltage cable with a heat-shrink crimped-connector weatherproof Joint Kit - T9962 Cable Joint Kit (for connecting to the end of a cable) or T9963 Cable Splice Kit (for connecting into a run of cable).
NAVIGATORS should be powered by 12v dc power supply. Do not use an electronic transformer to power Navigator LED lights. If powering from a 12v 20va or 50va ac wire-wound transformer, ensure the transformer is loaded to at least 75% of nominal rating.
Lamp Type: 1w Luxeon warm white led. 2.2w total.
The top section of this LED light can be unscrewed to allow the insertion of theatrical coloured lenses to enable you to customise your garden lighting system.
Navigator lights must be wired in Parallel and can be arranged in custom layouts using cable joint kits and 1.5mm cable, which is more flexible than kit-type products. Connect to the end of a low voltage cable using T9962 cable joint kit; for splicing into a run of cable use T9963 cable splice kit..
Exterior Low voltage light fittings are the ideal choice for outside lighting projects as they are safe to run compared to a mains 240v supply. The installation of exterior lighting is generally the weakest point and it is therefore imperative that the installer has previous experience of installing the lighting system. All joints must be 100% water tight and where possible keep all transformers above ground. Heat shrink kits and resin filled boxes and magic gel are available from our web site to complete a good waterproof installation. It is equally important to allow for adequate drainage under each light fitting especially if you are in a clay based soil area where water drainage could be a problem. In these type of areas we recommend you have surface lights rather than ones buried in the ground. Ensure that your installer is NIC EIC certified and has done exterior lighting installations before.


Every minute of every day we are faced with choices. Each decision we make leads us along a new path. The road to our future is determined by the choices we make now.
Unconscious of the fact that we are making these choices we are led down the well trodden paths of decisions already made. The road we choose appears familiar because our habitual conditioning has led us this way before.
Because invariably we take the easy option over the better one. We settle for the comfort zone, afraid to venture into realms unknown and the excitement of unchartered paths. The easy choice means we don't have to think or take action. If we did, we would have to take responsibility; a rare experience indeed.
The true purpose of life is expansion and growth. When we take the easy option we are not being truthful to ourselves. We are settling for less than we are and our lives are forged by the dreams of others.
What happens to us? We become 'set in our ways' and grow weaker through inactivity. When we don't think for ourselves our brains become dull. When we are physically inactive we become weak. When we eat the wrong things our energy is depleted and we fall victim to bad health. And all because we choose the easy option.
We can't possibly move forward unless we choose the better option. We can only grow by overcoming challenges, experiencing setbacks and taking responsibility. This is achieved by taking on things bigger than we are, by extending ourselves to become better than we were.
There is no doubt we will experience defeat but this is just an inevitable part of the process. Successful people aren't successful because they haven't experienced failure.
Opportunity is down the path we have never traveled not in the places we keep coming back to. Successful people are simply better prepared to make the most of any opportunity that comes their way.
How are they better prepared? Because they chose a different way; when the going got tough they chose the better option.
How do we know what choices to make?
When we know what our goals are the better option is immediately apparent. It is the option that leads us towards our goal in the quickest way possible. It is not some subtle distraction that takes our sight off the target or a well crafted excuse to procrastinate.
It gets us from point A to point B via the shortest route even if that means leaving the comfort zone to do it. We forge new paths, experience new things and grow even stronger as a result.
Do you see how we make our own luck? Treading the same path day after day is hardly the recipe for success.
Do yourself and everyone else in your life a favor. Go for your biggest dreams and make the world a better place. Choose the better option over the easy option every time.
Fear of failure can be a struggle for some people, however the worst part is not to at least try. You don't want to go through life wondering whether you could have made it or not. If you fear to fail, then, you just did failed.
do not be frustrated by uncertainty and learn to accept what you cannot control. If all humans could maintain enlightenment, we would experience world peace.

Rebounding: a selfish, tumultuous practice that takes the phrase "the only way to get over someone, is to get under someone else," all too literally. But how do you know when you're someone's rebound? When it comes to rebounding, things often do not go well; chances are your rebound will quickly discover that you've been using him/her to "win the breakup," and promptly alert social media to your actions with some colorful profanity. And while you may not feel you are using somebody, that pretty much comes with the territory. A rebound rarely means trying to find another meaningful relationship with another person; it almost always means looking for something else while trying to forget what you used to have.
Being a rebound comes with a slew of mixed signals that can teeter between "they're obviously not looking for something serious" and "they're trying to get too serious, too quickly." The best way to be 100 percent sure you're helping someone get over their ex in the most unhealthy way possible? Look for these seven signs.
This is a big red flag. If they were in a long-term relationship that can be measured in years, and the extent of the breakup has only been a few months, you may indeed be "the next woman." But this is a slippery slope; just because they were in a long-term relationship not too long ago, doesn't mean they're not ready for another one. Only he or she truly knows how long it takes them to get over a previous relationship, so tread carefully.
This is how you definitively know that the long-term relationship from the past is a not-so-distant memory. Chances are if you've only been on one date and you even know about their ex, or that they even had a relationship with someone not too long before you, we are in dangerous waters. I was talking to a guy recently who brought up his ex-girlfriend in the second conversation we had. He said, and I quote, "You are the coolest girl I've met since my ex girlfriend," and then would use every excuse he could find to bring her up; for example, if I was talking about my dog, suddenly he'd be talking about how his ex had a dog too.
Yeah, no. You still love her, bro.
If they're constantly snapping pics, and uploading them to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc., this is a bit disconcerting. Especially if those pictures have captions like "Me and my new bae. She is SOOOO awesome! I mean, I think I'm in love!," or anything to that over-exaggerated effect, you have to know they're putting on a show for someone, and that someone is most likely his or her ex. When a person is trying very hard to show you off to the world, it means that they have something to prove. And if you know that they're recently single, it could very well be that they want their ex to know just how happy they are without her.
You're not a prize, you're a person, and you don't need to put up with that crap.
So you're at a party, and the woman you know to formerly be their lover happens to be there. Coincidence, right? Well, when it happens again the following weekend...not so much. Similar to the serial-social media posting, your new partner is rubbing it in their ex's face by bringing you around where she is. Chances are, they've done some serious stalker-grade recon to find out where she will be, then somehow convinced you on the sly that it'd be a good idea for you guys to go there too. Anyone who cares that much what their ex thinks is not worth your time.
Whether he comes right out with it, or shows you he's looking for something lighthearted, it could be because he's looking for a rebound. When a guy or girl doesn't want to get too emotionally involved post-breakup, it's because they're still in the grieving process over that past relationship. If they give you any indications that you're a "for-right-now," girl, they're looking for something to take their mind off of ex-drama, and fill that now-empty space at their bedside. Hey, you may be OK with this because you're just looking to mess around too; if this is the case, then by all means go for it. But if you wanted something more serious, then this person isn't for you.
Mr./Ms. Eager Beaver has just informed you that their newly single status is one they're trying, with fervor, to change. The complete opposite of Mr./Ms. Not-so-serious, this person wants it all, and they want it now. This is just as big of a red flag, though. If someone is trying to jump into a relationship with just about anyone, chances are they're using a rebound to mask feelings they're having trouble coping with. And even if they adamantly expresses interest in you, and you do wind up dating them, there's a good chance this will all come apart in the not-so-distant future. When they're finally forced to confront feelings about his ex, you will be roped into a situation in which they're not fully sure they can give you everything they previously promised. What's more, if she comes back into the picture, they may just drop you like a hot potato.
If you're going out with someone and they already seem like the victim who was scorned by all womankind, they don't even have to say it: they just got out of a relationship. When people come off as bitter, constantly reasserting the fact that he's "the nice guy" or she's "the good girl" and women "just don't get it," it's because a woman of their (most likely recent) past, has screwed them over in some sort of way. Whether they say it or not, you're a rebound and this may be the most volatile situation of them all. There's a good chance they will start to project that anger onto you ("You're just like her," etc.) or they'll try to use you to restore their faith in women altogether, and no one can live up to that pressure.
Rebounding is something most of us are guilty of; I mean, who doesn't want to show off a new, happy relationship to the person who just tore their heart into a million pieces? It's almost like closure, but with the added benefit of one-upping your ex on the happiness scale. That being said, when you're the one in that position it doesn't feel so great, so when it comes to rebound territory, you may want to rethink if you're truly ready to move on.


Well, we hate to say we were right—but three times FenwayNation warned that The Evil Empire would lurk on the fringes of the Giancarlo Stanton Sweepstakes—and would pounce at the last possible minute. Multiple reports suggest that this nightmare scenario is now a reality. Derek Jeter is clearly paying back his former team—ridiculous! The Marlins would get back Starlin Castro, other Yankee veterans and prospects. The thought of Stanton in the same lineup with Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez is a little scary. Dave Dombrowski had better unload John Henry's wallet fast in the next few days—or Red Sox fans will be facing another very long championship drought in Boston.

The Middleton family are slammed for cashing in on the Olympics, but is it fair?
Suzannah Ramsdale July 19, 2012 5:20 pm
Carole Middleton and James MIddleton - Royal Wedding - Marie Claire Credit: Rex Features
Kate Middleton's family are yet again being criticised for their Party Pieces business, but what do you think about their tactics?
Being a high profile family has many benefits – in the last few months alone Carole, Michael and Pippa Middleton celebrated the Diamond Jubilee on the Royal barge and sat in the Royal box at Wimbledon – but a major downside is the constant scrutiny it brings.
The Middleton family have made their fortune with Party Pieces, a home delivery website that sells all kinds of paraphernalia for occasions such as weddings, birthdays and christenings.
Around the time of Kate's wedding to Prince William last April the Middletons were accused of cashing in on their daughter's big day by flogging British-themed merchandise. At the time the firm was accused of being gaudy and greedy.
PIPPA MIDDLETON TO START PARTY PLANNING BUSINESS?
They also faced a negative backlog by publishing Kate Middleton's top tips on throwing the perfect party, along with a photo of the soon-to-be-royal in the run up to the Royal wedding.
This time, the Middletons are coming under fire for capitalising on the London 2012 Olympics.
Party Pieces has a range of products under the umbrella title of Celebrate the Games, including Celebrate London bunting and balloons, a ring toss game in the Olympic colours, and multi-country flag banners.
Questions have been raised, by a small few, as to whether the Middletons are in breach of the Olympic Act 2006, which could result in court action and a possible £20,000 fine.
It's now being reported that Locog, the London 2012 organising committee, is looking into Party Pieces and any possible illegal use of the Olympic rings and all copyrighted words asscoiated with the Games.
Do you think it's unreasonable of people to constantly scrutinise the Middleton family and their business, or do you think they're fair game because of their connection to the Duchess of Cambridge? Let us know what you think below.

Is Huma Abedin the Next Van Jones?
July 23, 2012, 10:44 am by Cliff Kincaid 4 Comments
Senator John McCain has become a left-wing media darling for defending Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin against truthful charges that she has family connections to the pro-terrorist Muslim Brotherhood. Andrew McCarthy notes there used to be a time when McCain was alarmed by the advance of the Muslim Brotherhood.
We commented on this new phase of McCain's career when he showed up at a Washington event to praise and honor the Arab-funded Al-Jazeera, the voice of the Muslim Brotherhood.Ikhwanweb.com, the website of the Muslim Brotherhood, has labeled Al-Jazeera "the greatest Arab media organization."
Almost as curious as McCain's flip-flop on this critical national security issue is Republican House Speaker John Boehner saying, "I don't know Huma. But from everything that I do know of her, she has a sterling character, and I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous."
The "accusations" are questions about the kind of investigation that was made of her background. Boehner admits not knowing her but has already come to the conclusion that the "accusations," which are questions, are somehow "dangerous."
The issue here is the U.S. relationship with an organization that has spawned almost every major terrorist group in the Middle East and is taking control of Egypt and other nations.
Equally bizarre has been the rhetoric of Fox News contributor Edward Rollins, who used to work for Rep. Michele Bachmann, one of five members of Congress raising questions of the State Department Inspector General about Abedin. "I can assure Mrs. Bachmann, that Ms. Abedin has been thru every top clearance available and would never have been given her position with any questions of her loyalty to this country," Rollins insists.
But Rollins cited no factual basis on which to make such a sweeping allegation. How does he, a former Republican official, know anything at all about the background investigations, if any, of top Democratic or Obama administration officials?
A question for Rollins, who has assumed the mantle of national security expert: Did Abedin get the same background investigation enjoyed by Van Jones before he lost his job at the White House? At the time that Jones was forced to resign, in response to damaging disclosures about his communist background, Rollins said Jones "did the right thing" by resigning because he had become an embarrassment to the White House. Abedin is quickly becoming another such embarrassment.
But while Jones was only in his job for six months, Abedin has been by Hillary's side for many years, the last three as Deputy Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State.
The Jones case is instructive. There is no indication that the White House asked the FBI to investigate him or, if they did, that the background report uncovered anything having to do with his communist background. This would mean that the FBI did a lousy job of investigating Jones. On the other hand, there is the possibility that the FBI did uncover something sinister about Jones but the White House decided to ignore it, until the concern about him reached a fever pitch.
The Congress to this day has never investigated how Van Jones got his job, although Obama aide Valerie Jarrett admitted at a national left-wing bloggers convention that "we"—presumably referring to herself and Obama—decided to pick him. What the Congress should be doing, in the wake of damaging disclosures about Abedin, is investigate how she got her job and what influence she is exercising at the State Department. That is exactly what Bachmann and others want to know.
Members of Congress take an oath to defend our country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The notion of "enemy" loses its significance if Obama officials can redefine the term and escape accountability for making deals with those who want to destroy us.
In general, the Congress needs to know who in the administration is getting a pass on what the FBI used to call its CARL test—examining a federal applicant's character, associates, reputation and loyalty. Such a probe necessarily involves inquiring into one's family members.
Obama himself escaped such scrutiny, by virtue of the fact that he won his office through an election. That is why his "vetting" by the media, at this late date, four years after he was elected, is still absolutely necessary. But escaping a federal background investigation should not be extended to other top administration personnel.
Rollins' claim that he can somehow "assure" Bachmann of the results of an investigation into Abedin is an obvious falsehood. As a former campaign manager and now pundit, he has no such authority or expertise.
Making charges that are truly irresponsible and beyond the pale, Rollins went on to allege that Abedin is the victim of McCarthyism. This is a falsehood that shows how little Rollins knows about the Venona transcripts, which documented, in the words of historians John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr, that the Soviets "had recruited spies in virtually every major American government agency of military or diplomatic importance," and that 349 citizens, immigrants, and permanent residents of the United States "had had a covert relationship with Soviet intelligence agencies." Senator Joe McCarthy, still one of the liberals' favorite villains, only scratched the surface of the problem.
What the American people should be demanding from the media is an investigation of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. Government at this time in history, as we see Egyptians demonstrating in the streets against the Obama/Hillary embrace of this dangerous organization. Egyptians also yelled "Monica, Monica," at Hillary Clinton, something we do know a lot about.
Incredibly, The New York Times actually ridiculed the protesters for believing in a "conspiracy theory" that "originated with American conservatives!"
But the Obama Administration's support for the Muslim Brotherhood is not a conspiracy but a fact.
In the case of the hapless Ed Rollins, it is clear he knows less about Abedin than he knew about Van Jones, which he admitted was nothing. But he makes news by bashing the presidential candidate who gave him a job. This makes the liberal media love him.
The damaging revelations about Abedin just keep coming. Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack have written extensively about Abedin's Muslim Brotherhood connections. And Shoebat, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, is preparing the release of a major report on this matter which will make people such as McCain, Rollins, and Boehner look even more foolish than they already are for jumping to conclusions about this important case.
Shoebat has already written in detail that McCain's defense of the Hillary aide is "demonstrably false." It doesn't do any good to argue, as Rollins did, that McCain is "an American hero" and that he "stood on the floor of the Senate" to defend Abedin. For some curious reason, he has switched sides in the Middle East and has embarrassed himself in the process. To make matters worse, he endangers U.S. security.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, now taking off on a foreign trip that will include Israel, has no alternative but to distance himself from McCain's wildly irresponsible and erroneous statements.
Abedin may go the way of Van Jones. Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy has just released a new report about the Islamist connections of Abedin's mother, noting that the evidence indicates that Abedin has "deeply problematic foreign associations" that could, in violation of departmental guidelines, "create… a heightened risk of foreign exploitation, inducement, manipulation, pressure, or coercion."
The growing controversy suggests the need for House Speaker John Boehner to do his job, rather than serve as an apologist for the Obama Administration. That means reinstating a House Internal Security Committee to get to the bottom of such matters.
If there is a legitimate controversy over how Abedin got her job and whether her family connections present a problem, the matter should be moved beyond the Inspectors General of State and other agencies, and put under the purview of a new House Committee on Internal Security. The congress hasn't had a committee or subcommittee like this for decades because congressional liberals abolished them all on the grounds they were too "McCarthyite."
Key questions deserving answers include: who, if anyone, investigated Abedin's background, and were they made aware of the information about her Muslim Brotherhood connections?
We have a senior senator, the Speaker of the House and a top Republican former campaign official jumping to the defense of an aide to the Secretary of State who is a central figure in a U.S. administration embracing that organization. This is the real story, and it is a bipartisan scandal.

There is a reason McCain and the others mentioned "doth protest too much". Note that McCain's Middle East travel buddy, Marco Rubio, was on the "Defend Huma" bandwagon, too. Almost makes you think they're all privy to something. After all, no one called for her to be fired, just asked about what kind of security check she was given, correct? This is failing the smell test.

Q: Serial Port or Network Keyboard Wedge (send keyboard strokes) Reading and writing data to and from networks and serial ports are an easy thing for NodeJS, but what about sending the data as key strokes to to an application window like an iSeries Access terminal session in Windows?
Ideally NodeJS would handle all the receiving of data and send it to input focus of the active application window.
var com = require("serialport");

var serialPort = new com.SerialPort("COM1", {
    baudrate: 9600
  });

serialPort.on('open',function() {
  console.log('Port open');
});

serialPort.on('data', function(data) {
  var data_to_send = data.toString();
  send_to_active_windows_input_focus(the_data_to_send+"\r"); <-- A keyboard wedge function
});

Any ideas?
This would be NodeJS on a Windows 7 machine.

Apple and Herb Turkey Brine infuses wonderful flavor into the meat and helps keep it juicy while roasting. Plus, it's easy to prep ahead!
Let's talk about turkey. More specifically, dry turkey. The kind that crumbles when you slice it and would probably qualify as a choking hazard without copious pools of gravy to save the day.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, I envy you!
When cooking a large bird, it can be easy to fall into the dry meat trap. Like many others searching for a solution, I discovered brining years ago and have never looked back.
Soaking your holiday bird overnight in a seasoned salt solution such as this Apple and Herb Turkey Brine infuses wonderful flavor into the meat and helps keep it juicy while roasting. It's also easy to make. We all need as much "easy" during the holidays as possible, right?
When brining first became the "It" thing in holiday home cooking a while back, I purchased pre-mixed brining blends from various gourmet stores. They were delicious, and my turkeys were consistently juicy and flavorful.
Once I got acquainted with my local spice shop, I realized that I could recreate my favorite commercial brines at home, with my own customizations.
This Apple and Herb Turkey Brine combines the best flavors of my favorite commercial mixes—dried apples, rosemary, thyme, peppercorns, star anise, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and juniper berries—with whole cloves and a touch of brown sugar. The blend has become a favorite at our holiday table.
I also love the delicate touch of sweetness that using apple cider adds to the roasted turkey, further softening the salt flavor while still tenderizing the meat.
As for the type of salt used for brining, most of the gourmet mixes use a coarse sea salt, but I find that it's a luxury that isn't totally necessary for a home blend. I use Kosher salt with great, and more economical, results.
Why not brine with fresh herbs, you might ask? Convenience. I make this brining mix ahead of time and keep it in an airtight container on my pantry shelf.
It also makes a nice seasonal gift, packaged in canning jars with a festive ribbon and brining instructions written on a decorative tag. How fun to surprise a fellow food nerd with a unique, homemade hostess gift!
Sealed, this dry mix will stay fresh at room temperature for several months, but I can guarantee that once you taste the fantastic turkey it produces, it won't last that long!
Did you know I have a weekly newsletter? It's a great time of year to subscribe and have delicious recipes delivered to your Inbox for all of your holiday entertaining needs!
Apple and Herb Turkey Brine infuses wonderful flavor into the meat and helps keep it juicy while roasting. Plus, it's easy to prep ahead!
Inspired by my favorite commercial brine mixes.
Combine salt, sugar, herbs, spices, and apples in a large bowl. Mix can be made ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
Combine brine mix and 1 quart apple cider in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring until salt is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled.
In a large stock pot, stir together cold cider mixture with remaining 3 quarts apple cider and all of the cold water. Submerge turkey in the pot, or pour brine over turkey in a large brining bag (see brining tips below). Cover and let soak 8-12 hours.
Remove turkey from brine, rinse well inside and out, and dry with paper towels. Discard brining liquid. Follow your favorite roasting method, remembering to omit any salt added to the turkey.
Be sure to use a turkey that hasn't been "enhanced" or injected with broth or other flavorings.
*Allergy note: pink peppercorns are related to cashews and can invoke a reaction in guests with tree nut allergies.
The turkey needs to be totally submerged in the brining liquid. Any non-reactive deep vessel (a huge bowl or deep pot) covered with plastic wrap will work for this.
The turkey can be weighted down into the brine with a plate turned upside down and a large can. I like using the plastic brining bags available in most kitchen stores, turning the turkey in the bag halfway through the soak. My favorite have both zip tops and plastic clips for added peace of mind.
To brine a turkey breast (6-7 pounds) instead of a whole turkey, halve the recipe and reduce brining time to 5 hours.
I most often use a butter-soaked cheesecloth method such as this, as outlined by Martha Stewart.
I am loving all of the Fall flavors in this dish! I think I'm going to have to give this a try on my turkey this year.
This combination sounds like a great brine! I think it would also work well for pork and chicken too! A great thing to have on hand all year round.
This is super scrumptious looking turkey! love your brine herb idea as well.
I don't typically make a whole turkey for thanksgiving, but I make two or three whole chickens and flavor them differently. I may have to try this brine for one of them, Thanks for sharing.
I'm not often in charge of the turkey for Thanksgiving but brining it is definitely the way to go for great flavor and taste!
I've got to try this brine mixture! I've definitely consumed a good bit of dry turkey in my day. I usually skip brining a turkey because I'm a pretty lazy chef in the kitchen, but I think I could do this one! I like that you use dry herbs – sometimes fresh are hard to find in my area this time of year and I like to keep an assortment of dried around for convenience myself. :) Your photos are incredible and the turkey has my mouth watering!
This sounds absolutely delicious..!! I love turkey but we are a small family so we never buy the whole bird. I'm going to use this method on a big chicken. I'm sure it will taste delish too.
This looks absolutely delicious and tempting and the pictures are great!
Once, I was invited to a friend's house for a turkey dinner, but not at Thanksgiving. She proudly served me a combination of light and dark meat. I bit into the white meat and almost choked it was so dry. I'd never tasted anything so dry. She bit into the breast and said. Oh no! This is all wrong. The breast isn't dry enough. Apparently, that was how she thought it was supposed to be. I assured her that it was VERY dry as I asked someone to please pass the gravy. I am just beginning to explore brining meats. I haven't tried a turkey, yet. This combination sounds very good. Where do you find brining bags? I've never seen them at my grocery store.

Patek Philippe 5396 Annual Calendar Moonphase Watch Hands-On
Annual calendars such as Patek Philippe 5396 are gorgeous in nature. Although QP (quantèmeperpetuel, French is perpetual calendar) can be said to be the ultimate date complication, the annual calendar can be performed in a more aesthetically pure way, without being bound by demand. Show annoying year indicator. It is undeniable that the almanac is an X factor and seems to be very suitable for pocket watches with old-fashioned charm. Maybe the calendar has less proof than QP, there is enough chill to let February itself… And in terms of killing, yesterday's post-Nautilus 40th anniversary release caused a lot of sensation, now let us indulge in this The serene beauty of the classic Patek Philippe replica watch (reference number 5396).
The annual calendar comes in many shapes and sizes, from the secret modern MIH watch (reviewed here) to IWC, A. Lange & Söhne, and of course the older example of Patek Philippe. Even inside Patek Philippe, they provide some kind of spread, from the younger 5960 (hands-on) to the downright sporty Nautilus 5726 and this absolutely classic Patek Philippe 5396, both of which are new in 2016 Goods (5396G-014) and rose gold (5396R-012).
These "only wrong once a year" calendars are a good example of how this complexity fits in a minimalist modern watch. The Patek Philippe 5396 measures 38.5 mm wide and is used for matte white gold and black matte crocodile leather straps, or for the rose gold version of brown crocodile leather. The Patek Philippe 5396 is waterproof to a depth of 30m and is equipped with sapphire crystals on the front and back, making it very special. I want to be like Patek Philippe.
Patek Philippe 5396 is powered by Patek Philippe 324 S QA LU 24H / 303 movement, providing hours, minutes, seconds, digital date, moon phase, date, month and 24-hour display around the moon phase. This self-winding movement uses 34 jewels and runs on a 4 Hz scale. The maximum automatic winding time is 45 hours.
The dial of replica Patek Philippe 5396 is dense and dense, but the vertical center of the dial is lined with many symmetrical words. Its beautiful charcoal gray sunburst dial represents white gold, and the shiny silver opaque dial represents rose gold. Patek Philippe 5396 is surrounded by subtle minute orbits and truly applied treasure numerals. Patek Philippe's unparalleled pedigree outlines a line to pay tribute to previous models such as 565 and 5370 Split-Seconds.
Patek Philippe 5396 has a Calatrava-style satin needle, which is clear and delicate, and the hands and treasure markers have been perfectly modified to sparkle when interacting with any available light. The detailed sunburst decoration of the gray dial is difficult to capture in the photo, but the wrist has a very striking effect. The annual calendar is difficult to understand, partly due to the standard date shown as 6. Face to face, I don't mind the date display at all, but I did find myself wondering why they chose the 24-hour system instead of displaying the date on the subdials around the moon phase.
On the wrist, the Patek Philippe 5396 sits very low, and because of its reserved case size, I find it quite comfortable. In my opinion, this is a very beautiful pocket watch, with classic appeal and enough complexity to attract the eyes of enthusiasts, and has classic charm.
The 2016 Patek Philippe 5396 celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar complication. This is the first in the world and was first seen on its reference model 5035 in 1996. Since then, the annual calendar has become one of Patek Philippe's best-selling complications.

The mixture testing of hard disk containers is generally not detected by size, because the conventional hard disk size is basically the same, such as 3.5 inch, 2.5 inch hard disk, and the general difference is in capacity and speed. Therefore, size can not be used as a criterion. And hard disk containers commonly used category judgment, usually through the character to distinguish, today we talk about a chat based on machine vision of the hard disk container mixture detection.
For this kind of product, just need to show the characters on the surface of the hard disk container, can be used as a basis for judgment, to test the mixture. So the key is to use visual inspection equipment to display the characters on the surface of the container. But these characters, not necessarily the outer surfaces of the container, are relatively better illuminated in the appearance, and some of the characters will be inside the container, so the available light source type is less. At least a very low angle of light is unusable. So we can only consider some high angle light sources, such as high angle circular light source, coaxial light source and so on.
Consider the use of conventional analog controllers or mini controllers. If a visual inspection device takes a short exposure time at high speed, a strobe controller is used, and a digital controller can be considered if the program is required to control different light sources for different products.
Because the characters are relatively large, the use of 300 thousand pixel or 1 million 300 thousand pixel CCD industrial cameras can meet the requirements. We can consider the use of Gigabit Ethernet CCD industrial cameras, the performance can completely meet the requirements, the price is also very close to the people. Industrial lenses can be photographed using conventional lenses, and good results can be obtained. After matching, the hard disk container detection equipment based on machine vision can quickly detect the unqualified products and greatly improve the work efficiency and the quality of work.

Mom of 9-year-old who killed himself after being bullied faces backlash online
Posted 11:02 AM, September 1, 2018, by Tribune Media Wire
DENVER -- The mother of a Denver boy who killed himself after coming out as gay and being bullied is being harassed online, according to KDVR.
Leia Pierce says her 9-year-old son, Jamel Myles, had just started fourth grade at Joe Shoemaker Elementary School when he took his own life.
Over the summer, Pierce said her son had come out to her as gay.
"And he looked so scared when he told me. He was like, 'Mom, I'm gay.' And I thought he was playing, so I looked back because I was driving, and he was all curled up, so scared. And I said, 'I still love you,'" Pierce said.
Jamel Myles
"My son knew who he was. He found himself and I was proud of him," said Pierce.
Pierce said she has received tremendous support from people around the world.
"It makes me feel better. It makes me feel like my son's word of love is getting out," said Pierce.
However, Pierce's inboxes and mentions have also been filled with hateful messages.
"The negativity that I've seen on social media -- the derogatory comments toward my son or myself -- it just proves my point that there is so much hate in this world, that there is so much bullying," she said.
Pierce said that she refuses to reciprocate the hate, instead she promotes a positive message.
She added that some people have even come out to her via social media, saying her son's story gave them courage.
If you or anyone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or depression, the following resources are available:
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255): Speak with someone who will provide free and confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To learn how to help someone in crisis, call the same number.
The Trevor Project (1-866-488-7386): A 24/7 resource for LGBT youth struggling with a crisis or suicidal thoughts. The line is staffed by trained counselors.
I do not believe a 9 year old knows if he is gay or not.
But do you believe your fellow Trumpers sent this poor lady hateful messages online? I do.
At what age did you know you were gay????
What's the matter Bob? No response from the Trump lover?
Who was it that legalized everything gay? Oh ya Obama so I guess you could blame him for it.

To further increase the depth of flavour, lightly toast them in a pan for few moments. When roasting keep a firm eye on them as the seconds will count, and if done without burning this will unlock their distinctive flavour.


I am trying to use ecatsdo command in the terminal. I can read an SDO just fine, but when I try to write it fails. If I ssh to the PMAC and use the etherlab utility (/opt/etherlab/bin/ethercat) I and write just fine.
Any ideas why ecatsdo might not be working? Is there a log somewhere I can look at?
Try disabling the ethercat. Then try the commands.
I had the same thing. I had to use the ecatTypedSDO instead.
Slave num 2 and 3 are MackTron motors by Axor and working well with CSP mode.
is it affecting the watch window command ecattypedsdo?
I believe that I should get a different build of this executable, how should I do it?

What firmware version is this?
I am able to use ecattypedsdo successfully to read/write $6060 on a 1S, from an IPC with firmware 2.2.0.1.
"Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.1.18-xenomai-2.6.5 i686)"
" Error: BgThread sem_timedwait(emIoctlFinish_sem) timed out "
in Slave configuration -> Advanced Option -> SDO Access is set to 0, what does it mean that, is timeout disabled? or access to SDO is disabled?

I am not able to duplicate this issue. Every time I try to read an SDO from a garbage address, I can immediately read from good adresses again aftwerwards. Maybe it is specific to this ethercat slave. You should be able to recover from this state by issueing "ecat reset" in the terminal.
As for the SDO access timeout, this is the time after we send out an SDO that we wait for a response. With a value of 0, the EC engineer shows that this uses the master default value. I have been having trouble getting the actual value.

Can you send me a copy of that project offlist?

You could try with CGCreateImageFromPNGDataProviderMBS or CGCreateImageFromJPEGDataProviderMBS to workaround that.

No Comments on Anthem Game Development
We'd like to take a moment to address an article published this morning about BioWare, and Anthem's development. First and foremost, we wholeheartedly stand behind every current and former member of our team that worked on the game, including leadership. It takes a massive amount of effort, energy and dedication to make any game, and making Anthem would not have been possible without every single one of their efforts. We chose not to comment or participate in this story because we felt there was an unfair focus on specific team members and leaders, who did their absolute best to bring this totally new idea to fans. We didn't want to be part of something that was attempting to bring them down as individuals. We respect them all, and we built this game as a team.
We put a great emphasis on our workplace culture in our studios. The health and well-being of our team members is something we take very seriously. We have built a new leadership team over the last couple of years, starting with Casey Hudson as our GM in 2017, which has helped us make big steps to improve studio culture and our creative focus. We hear the criticisms that were raised by the people in the piece today, and we're looking at that alongside feedback that we receive in our internal team surveys. We put a lot of focus on better planning to avoid "crunch time," and it was not a major topic of feedback in our internal postmortems. Making games, especially new IP, will always be one of the hardest entertainment challenges. We do everything we can to try and make it healthy and stress-free, but we also know there is always room to improve.
As a studio and a team, we accept all criticisms that will come our way for the games we make, especially from our players. The creative process is often difficult. The struggles and challenges of making video games are very real. But the reward of putting something we created into the hands of our players is amazing. People in this industry put so much passion and energy into making something fun. We don't see the value in tearing down one another, or one another's work. We don't believe articles that do that are making our industry and craft better.
Our full focus is on our players and continuing to make Anthem everything it can be for our community. Thank you to our fans for your support – we do what we do for you.
Anthem – Post Launch Update
No Comments on Anthem – Post Launch Update
Whew. How's everyone doing out there? It's been a wild ride these last few weeks. On the one hand it's been a rougher launch than expected. But then as I think back we also knew that big new online games tend to hit some kind of problem once they go live, so as much as we tested and prepared to make sure everything was ready, we were also ready for the possibility that unexpected issues might arise at launch. And we continue to be committed to responding to them.
We launched a game that so many of you tell us is really fun at its core, but we also had a degree of issues that did not reveal themselves until we were operating at the scale of millions of players. We were of course very disappointed about that, as were many of you. I've been in there playing with you since those early days (I'm a Ranger in Edmonton Oilers colors!) and it makes me sad to hear about any issues that would hold someone back from fully enjoying the game. I take that very personally, and it's been our top priority to get improvements out to you in the fastest, safest way.
Combat Balance Meeting in Austin
In these first few weeks, our Live team has worked hard on that, delivering over 200 improvements through patches and live updates, across stability, loot and progression, customization, and more.
We also continue to listen to your feedback, with more improvements to endgame loot and progression, game flow, and stability and performance coming soon – so there's a lot more work that we intend to do. This is all a learning experience for us, and as we work to make sure the game is improved and perfected, we can't emphasize enough how much we appreciate you staying with us. Especially because the next stage is where things really get exciting.
The Story is Just Beginning
As we move through this most difficult period of launching a new game and IP, we are also working on the things that will really show what Anthem is capable of – a series of world events, new story content, and new features, that all build towards the Cataclysm later this spring.
But we understand there is skepticism out there. We hear the criticisms and doubts. But we'll keep going anyway, working hard every day on Anthem – an ever-changing world, constantly improving and growing, and supported well into the future by our team of passionate developers.
With Anthem we're trying something a little different than we've done before. And likewise our upcoming games will be different from Anthem. But with everything we do, we focus on staying true to our mission, creating worlds that inspire you to become the hero of your own story. So what's most important to us is you, the players who have supported us in this journey. And we're excited to prove that with Anthem, the best is yet to come.
Anthem – our Live Service begins
No Comments on Anthem – our Live Service begins
Hello again Anthem Community!
Today's world-wide launch marks a big milestone for Anthem. Here at BioWare, we're excited, and at the same time a little anxious.
Coming off our Early Access period, we understand that we have lots of work ahead of us to continue to improve the game. As a Live Service team, a core tenet for us is listening hard to the community. We use that insight to fix issues and make Quality of Life fixes to the game. Our most recent patch – the one you are playing now — reflects your feedback. You can see the list of changes here. Many came from listening to you. Beyond that, we have a growing list of improvements we're evaluating for the future. You'll start seeing the next of those this coming week.
While launch is our most significant step yet, it is also just the first of many in fulfilling our long-term vision for the game.
I look at today from two perspectives. As a gamer, I'm excited by what we've created with Anthem and the promise it carries for a long future behind the game's lush world, immersive lore, rich characters, and core gameplay. As a developer, I know we've worked hard to strike a balance of engaging BioWare story combined with fun action-gameplay and multi-player progression; I also know how much more we want to bring to the game.
Anthem's launch represents a commitment we're making to you: we're just getting started.
We shared a preview of our Live Service calendar 2 weeks ago. Today, I'm excited to share our first 90-day roadmap. It includes more insight on what we are planning for the game and the community. We'll be talking in more detail about this roadmap in upcoming streams and social media.
We also commit to sharing updates with you frequently and consistently. I look forward to hearing more of your feedback on our plans and the game overall.
I'll close by welcoming you to the game and thanking you for your support and feedback thus far. This is just the start of a rich Live Service we'll be creating together. See you in game.
Stronger Together!
Onward to Launch!

Greetings to our Anthem Community!
I'm thrilled to share that our public demo weekend exceeded our expectations. Operationally, things were super smooth – our war rooms were tranquil this weekend, which is exactly how we like them.
Most importantly, your response was again overwhelmingly positive. We had more than 40M hours of play in the game across our two demo weekends. That's incredible! We hope you all enjoyed the small taste of what's to come with the full game. As developers, we remain humbled by your positive response to what we've built. Thank you so much for your support!
Of the many cool things we've seen from the community, the creativity around Javelin customizations has been mind-blowing. So many favorites, but here are several that caught our eyes:

Our focus now shifts 100% to launch and beyond. Our development team is hard at work on finalizing our launch builds and beginning our countdown preparations. As I've mentioned previously, the launch version of the game has a long list of updates and improvements that were not in the demo builds. And, of course, launch will be the first time our community has access to the full game with all content.
There's so much more than you saw in the demo and we can't wait for you to play it. We're also very hard at work on exciting post-launch content. You saw a small glimpse of it in the game Sunday. We'll have much more to share on that soon.
Onward! Stronger Together!
Hello Anthem Community!
Post date 31 January 2019
No Comments on Hello Anthem Community!
We're hard at work to be ready for our public demo weekend, starting tomorrow, 2/1. This week has been focused on improving the player experience in the demo – that focus was based on our learnings and your feedback. For those of you that played last weekend, you should see significant improvement in multiple areas over last week.
While we are confident that these changes will improve this weekend's experience for players, we're also cognizant that we may see recurring and new issues. Our team will again be working around the clock to deal with any problems that arise so that all players can enjoy the game. As always, you can use Answers HQ for help.
Our ongoing scale testing this week has gone well. We're confident we are ready for the load we will see. Like last weekend, we will be prepared with more server capacity than we anticipate will be needed. However, predicting player numbers – particularly for a new game like Anthem in its first open public weekend – is very difficult. If more players decide to try the game than we anticipate, we also have systems in place to control entry rates of incoming players. This is to ensure players in the game are having uninterrupted fun and to give us time to increase capacity. If you encounter this situation, we hope you'll be patient with us and try again later. We'll have messaging on our servers on our server status page.
I mentioned earlier in the week that we've also been preparing for many weeks for our full launch. That version of the game already has a long list of things that are already fixed that did not make our demo weekends. It includes:
Further performance Improvements
Additional stability fixes
Fixes to inscriptions showing up incorrectly
Fixes to inscriptions from other Javelins being chosen
Fixes to disappearing customization settings
Fixes to XP gain behavior
Audio improvements
Improvements to PC controls, including flight and aiming
A Social Hub: The Launch Bay
And a few thousand more (literally)…
One additional comment based on what we've been asked on Twitter. If you are a returning VIP demo player, you'll keep your progression from VIP weekend. That includes your Javelins, pilot level, and all gear, weapons, and customizations.
I hope to see everyone in the game starting Friday. Lastly, please be kind to the grabbits!

Variety is the spice of life. If you don't have time to cut up fruits and vegetables for your pond fish, give them this "fruits and greens" blend. We've done the cutting and blending for you. There are apples, apricots, kiwis, mangos, papayas, peaches, pears, broccoli, cabbage, peas, red peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and spinach in this scientific blend.

So, just as someone can be told that 'they just need to love themselves', for instance, they can also be told that they just need to embrace their true self.
Once they do this, it will be possible for them to tune into their needs and then to live a life that is worth living and/or to no longer please others. Ultimately, they are not on this planet just to make up the numbers.
Upon hearing this, one may find that they are able to embrace their true-self and that their life soon starts to change. It can then illustrate that one just needed the right guidance in order for their lives to move in the right direction.
This is not to say that there won't be moments when they feel uncomfortable; feeling uncomfortable is part of growing. The main thing here is that one stays with this process and doesn't allow themselves to revert back to how they were.
Conversely, one could find that hearing this doesn't have much of an effect on their life. What one may find is that revealing their true-self, and allowing it to define their life, is something that causes them to experience immense fear.
If one is not overloaded with fear, what they may find is that they are disconnected from themselves. It is then not going to be possible for them to connect with their body - the area where their true-self will be found.
What this is likely to show is that they are carrying a fair amount of trauma in their body, and this is why they are unable to connect to it. Their mind will have disconnected from their body as a way to defend itself against the pain that is being held there and their body will have hardened; the alternative would be for their mind to be overwhelmed with pain.
It is then clear to see that it is not always going to be easy for someone to embrace their true self. They may be able to slowly reveal this part of themselves, or they may need to work through a lot of trauma before this can take place.
And, if they are out of touch with their body, they will have to break through their defenses and then to work through their pain. This is something that can take place with the assistance of a therapist or a healer.

Inspiring book while at the same time pragmatic and actionable. It lays the groundwork and gives you real steps on how to take your dreams and your passions and make them reality. Great read for anyone but especially useful if there is a project or goal you are about to embark on and not sure how to get started. There are so many more options than most of us realize and the potential to help billions of people has never been higher.
3D printing is ripe as exponentials in this field are about to take off – cars, airplanes, prosthetics, buildings, etc.
Super-credibility – the crowd accepts an idea as fact when enough credible people back a (even seemingly crazy) idea.
Best way to determine the interest and likelihood of your idea/project/service/etc.

In honor of tonight's debate I have a confederate monument trivia question that is somewhat related to the debate. Where is this monument?
Corner of High Street and Randolph Street in Farmville, VA.
Yeah, nicely done, Jason, as always. Farmville, in Prince Edward County, has a long history with Civil Rights. While it's most remembered these days for shutting down the public schools, there's is also a long history of a robust and energized African American community. Melvin Ely tells part about of this story in the nineteenth century in his terrific book Israel on the Appomattox. WEB Dubois wrote about the Farmvile African American community in the early twentieth century. Then there's also the High Bridge, which to this day isn't the easiest to get to -- which was scene of one of the last battles of the Civil War.
