Q: A keychain cannot be found to store "NETWORK." I just recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Air from Apple running Sierra.
For the most part it is functioning just how I would expect it to, except for the following: for certain networks (it appears to be limited to just wpa2 personal networks. wpa2 enterprise with RADIUS authentication connects automatically just fine) it will not remember the pass.
I leave the network, rejoin, and get prompted with the message:

A keychain cannot be found to store "NETWORK."

It gives me an option to reset the keychain, which I would love to do (there are no custom CA/client certificates on here yet, just a stock certificate bank), but when it prompts me to put in my password, I can't type anything in the box.
I have tried the solution listed here, but still get the same result.

A: A restart after applying system updates fixed this issue.

A: There might be some system update which must be waiting, try restarting the Mac.


Heyyy! The world is waiting for me! I'm a 33-year-old very good girl, who is seeking a dark blonde hetero boy. My life is too empty without you. I live in Anchorage now, but I would go anywhere with you - if you wish. Write me! I will answer you!


Digital currencies are becoming popular as a form of payment for products and services as merchants have an incentive to accept this form of currency due to their lower transaction fees.
In order to allow students to have a better understanding of how digital currency is created and managed without incurring the costs of acquiring established digital currency, TPCoin was created. The project is closely modeled on the concept of real world digital currencies. With more knowledge on how the system works, students will be in better positions to create and develop digital payment applications that are suitable for real-world use.

Home METAL NEWS	Woorms / A Hanging Woorms / A Hanging 7″ Split HOSPITAL, Paranoize Records
Woorms / A Hanging Woorms / A Hanging 7″ Split HOSPITAL, Paranoize Records
Louisiana based doomy noise punk trio WOORMS are in league with their fellow anger fueled hardcore thrashers A HANGING for a 7" split release. The A side of the split consists of the hypnotic track "The Math Says Yes", where WOORMS have brought forth an abnormal illustration of heavy sound. The B side is filled with three short, but super-fast and dynamic exhibitions of fast-paced crossover thrash metal. A release show will take place during the release date on June 16 at Babylon in Metairie, Louisiana.
Woorms/A Hanging Split:
1. Woorms – The Math Says, Yes
1. A Hanging – Graft
2. A Hanging – Document
3. A Hanging – Winter
WOORMS BIO:
Formed in 2017, WOORMS is a noise punk band from South Louisiana, US. Within a year of time period, the doomy, sludgy, super-fuzzed out trio has offered a few singles and a 06-track demo release that promise a soundscape of mysterious noises and hard driving riffs. WOORMS' music lumberingly explodes with the help of crushing structure, buzzy vibration, and schizoid rage. They are currently at work on their debut LP.
A HANGING BIO:
Hardcore/thrash metal act A HANGING was formed in 2007 in New Orleans, Louisiana when Scorilla (guitar) teamed up with Alix(vocals), Billy Bones(drums), and Thomas (bass) after the demise of their band Daisy.
In 2008 Thomas left the band and Chris Squire (ex-Batallion Of Saints) joined. During this time the band released the debut full length "Food For Rats" and appeared on the "Slow Southern Steel" documentary.
In 2010 Chris left the band and Bobby Paranoize (who was also playing in Face First at the time) stepped in on bass. In 2011 Alix left the band and Scott assumed vocal duties as well as guitars, which brings the band's current lineup today. With this new lineup, A HANGING came up with an EP, a few splits and appeared on some compilations.
Within their 11 years of existence, A HANGING has shared stages with many great acts, including Saint Vitus, Negative Approach, D.R.I., M.O.D., dead horse, Eyehategod, Goatwhore, Crowbar, Black Tusk, Artillery, Potential Threat, and Rwake.

TalkTalk shares jumped almost 10 per cent on Tuesday after the broadband company revealed it had added 80,000 customers in its first quarter and increased revenue in its core business by 4 per cent. The gains in the three months to the end of June came despite the company losing customers in the consumer segment, with the rise coming from its wholesale business in which other telecoms providers use its network to serve business users. Faced with a crowded field of competitors offering broadband and television packages, including Sky, Virgin Media and BT, TalkTalk has launched a recovery plan based on customer growth as it refashions itself as a budget broadband player and simplifies its business. "After resetting the business last year, we are now a much simpler, lower-cost business," said Tristia Harrison, chief executive. TalkTalk's customer base stands at 4.2m. It reported revenue of £382m for the quarter, excluding non-core sales, with its total consumer, wholesale and direct business revenue rising 3.7 per cent to £309m. The company also reiterated its outlook for 15 per cent headline earnings growth this year.

I know what you mean about there being so many things you want to do. I don't understand people who get bored. I know you'll figure things out soon.
I'm happy to see you are still alive. I figured you had massive work deadlines. I'm also glad to hear that Hercule Poirot and Ngaio Marsh kept you going. They are such good friends.
I'm glad things are getting less busy for you! I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what to do, and do them excellently, soon.
I have not done any writing since NaNoWriMo — but am hopeful to pick up that work again during Spring Break.
Glad to help! Sometimes those abrupt schedule changes, even though you know they are coming, really mess you up.
Keep breathing and pace yourself. Spending a day doing nothing might be good therapy.
I think it's definitely a good sign when you find yourself wanting to read more of your own novel. At least the other way around would be a veryvery bad sign ("Oh, no, do I HAVE to read more of this crap? Perhaps if I don't write it, I also don't have to read it?!?" – been there…).
Good to hear that you are alive and writing!

Q: $(window).scroll() Method of keeping a bottom bar on a website doesn't work on iPhone So, I am working on a website that is supposed to be mobile friendly.  This version of the site is designed to sort of look more like an iPhone app and as such there is a bar at the bottom of the screen http://snpr.cm/kaU9DM.jpg and it needs to stay stationary.  I've done things like this before and in a nutshell use the $(window).scroll() function to reposition the bar whenever the user scrolls.  Using mobile safari this function only fires once the user is done scrolling, not great.  I have tried using the touchstart, touchmove & touchend bindings but they didn't work well either.
Any suggestions?

A: This is a know issue. You either have to accept that the toolbar will be delayed. Many sites have given such toolbars a more "floaty"/unattached feel and look to match this behaviour.
Or you could set the dimensions of the page tithe dimensions of the screen using meta tags. Then put you content in a scrolling div with a toolbar below the scrolling div. So that when a user scrolls the page actually stays in place but the div which takes up all the screen except the space for the bottom bar is actually what's scrolling. This seems to be how most people get around this issue. However to be even more difficult you can't just have a div with overflow set to scroll in CSS, you need to use something like iscroll else the users will have to use 2 fingers to scroll (that I if they realise they have to use 2 fingers)
In ios5 setting the CSS position property of an element to fixed now works in the way that makes sense, so if you don't mind leaving iTouch 1st and 2nd gen and iPhone original and iPhone 3G user behind you can use this. Also ios5 allows users to use one finger to scroll elements without any extras.

Companies that pay their CEOs modestly perform better financially, according to Vlerick Business School's new research.
Vlerick's survey examined pay rates and habits of CEOs and CFOs across 861 businesses in major stock indexes across Europe, including the UK's FTSE 100 and 250.
Using a company's performance data to calculate what the business should be paying its CEO, researchers found that organisations with better financial performance tended to pay their CEOs less than others.
The survey also revealed that UK companies in particular overpay their CEOs compared with other countries, and that there were more cases of CEO overpayment in businesses with more widely dispersed share ownership.
Taking into account fixed wage, short-term incentives, and share option grants, UK CEOs are paid 94 times more than the average worker at their firm. CEO pay in the UK had dropped slightly to a median of €4.3m, but this figure rose to €4.9m when adjusted for the effect of the Brexit vote on the British pound.
Professor Xavier Baeten, who conducted the study, said: "This paints a very clear picture showing that UK companies significantly overpay their CEOs in comparison to other major nations in the EU. They are not paid more because they perform better, but because, amongst other things, CEOs in the UK have more control over the company as a whole relative to European firms due to wider dispersion of share ownership.
Are fault-free returns ruining small businesses?

The Aeropress is our new favourite way of brewing coffee! It's easy, clean and delicious! The lovely team behind Able Brewing sent us an amazing care package full of beautiful brewing goodies that have upped our coffee game! It's been so fun learning about different processes of brewing, after doing "A Month of Coffee" in December. We really learned a lot through talking to our friend Andrew about how to properly brew with a Chemex, and then going to Revolver and learning about the different espresso drinks and techniques for steaming milk properly! It has changed the way I make and appreciate a good cup of coffee.
Do you have a favourite way of brewing, or a favourite roast? Always love trying new ways and beans, there are just so many options.

The filibuster is bad for democracy
No matter which party controls the Senate
The US Senate makes and remakes its own rules each term. In 2013, Democrats changed a rule so that confirmation votes for most presidential appointees could no longer be filibustered: instead of a 60-vote supermajority, it now requires just a 51-vote majority to move a confirmation forward. Four years later, Republicans extended this rule to Supreme Court nominees.
We don't yet know who will control the Senate next year. But the first thing they should do is end the filibuster for legislation, too.
The filibuster goes back to an 1806 rule allowing unlimited debate time—and thus the power for a senator to halt progress simply by talking. Filibusters were rare until the 20th century, when the Senate made a series of additional rule changes. It empowered senators to end debate by cloture—requiring a supermajority vote, not the usual simple majority. It created a way for unrelated business to continue on a separate track instead of grinding to a halt. Eventually it even allowed filibusters to skip the talk-till-you-drop part.
These rule changes narrowed the filibuster's power to disrupt policy making. They also softened its political consequences for senators, who responded with more frequent filibusters. Today, the filibuster has evolved from a dramatic, costly gambit to a quiet understanding that all major bills need 60 votes to pass.
Defenders often frame the filibuster as an important check on the majority's power. But as Ezra Klein argues at Vox, the US system already has checks and balances in spades. What it doesn't have, thanks to the filibuster, is a functional legislative process. Laws are routinely written in convoluted ways to shoehorn them into the congressional budgeting process, which follows special, filibuster-proof rules. Anything the budget can't accommodate tends not to be taken up at all. All this leads to unaddressed problems, public disillusionment, and unilateral presidential action to fill the gap.
The filibuster is also praised for forcing minority voices to be heard, potentially leading to productive compromise and wiser lawmaking. In reality, the voices behind most of the "talking filibusters" of the 20th century were those of segregationists—who wanted to railroad civil rights legislation, not improve it. And in any case, the filibuster is straightforwardly antidemocratic: it prevents an elected majority from enacting an agenda. In exchange it offers not compromise but gridlock and dysfunction.
Nor does the filibuster promote bipartisanship. Like other features of the US system, it takes as given that senators are loyal to the Senate and want it to function. But today's elected officials are loyal mostly to their party, and the filibuster can't change this—it simply assumes bipartisanship that no longer exists. Indeed, the filibuster likely neutralizes what marginal bipartisanship does persist: two or three senators could cross the aisle and reverse a vote's outcome, if only a simple majority were enough to win.
A more expansive bipartisanship would require far more than parliamentary rule changes. In the meantime, Congress needs to be able to govern—and the filibuster is standing in its way. Americans often urge lawmakers to work together. We should be urging them to change rules that prevent them from working at all.
A version of this article appears in the print edition under the title "Let the majority rule."
democratic reform
Why background checks got blocked in the Senate
Sometimes when a vote doesn't go the way you want, you just have to sigh and remind yourself that this is how democracy works. Other times you have to wish that it actually did work. The overwhelming majority of Americans support background checks for gun buyers. No matter.

I bought a bunch of the shop pets on sale, and they all went to the inbox of my main toon (last logged in). Except one. One of the two Moonkins went to the mailbox of an alt on an off server I haven't logged in on in about 6 months. Just in case anyone else has issues with shop pets not showing up in your mail.
Ally moonkin on ally char, horde moonkin on horde char.
What he said. While you will see both moonkins in the journal, you can only summon or battle with the one for your current toon's faction. So you'll have to dust off your unplayed alt if you want to get them both leveled up.

Many patients tell me that because of the appearance of their eyes, they're often asked if they're feeling tired, even when they're well-rested and feeling energized. Often the culprit is sagging or wrinkled eyelids, and the good news is that eyelid surgery can usually address this common condition. However, men and women considering eyelid surgery at my Toronto practice often have misconceptions about the procedure, and I want to clarify those myths here.
Eyelid surgery is actually 1 of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed every year, in part because it's a procedure that many men get. Also called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery can be performed on either the upper or lower eyelids, or both. The results can dramatically improve someone's appearance by creating a more youthful and rested look.
In this blog post, I'll explain why the myths surrounding eyelid surgery aren't true and reinforce why the procedure is so beneficial.
The risk of developing chronic dry eye after eyelid surgery is extremely low for patients who choose an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. The condition is more likely to develop when an inexperienced surgeon overcorrects and removes too much skin during the surgery. I've performed thousands of eyelid surgeries during my career and am proud of the results and very low rate of complications experienced by my patients.
Not true. After healing from eyelid surgery, most patients have a difficult time detecting where I've made incisions. That's because the techniques used by facial plastic surgeons when performing blepharoplasty hide the incisions. For upper eyelid surgery, I typically make incisions within the natural folds of the eyelids. Lower eyelid incisions are made in the lash line if I'm removing excess skin during the procedure. If the patient doesn't need skin removed, the incision goes inside the eyelid.
This is a myth that even some plastic surgeons perpetuate. Dark circles under the eyes is one of the most difficult cosmetic concerns to address, but lower blepharoplasty can improve the undereye appearance in many cases. Using a transconjunctival incision (inside the lower eyelid), I can remove and reposition fat, which is often responsible for the appearance of dark circles. It's important to discuss this with your surgeon during the consultation. Surgery combined with fillers is another option.
Crow's feet—the fine lines that develop at the corners of the eyes—cannot be corrected through eyelid surgery. These lines are "dynamic" wrinkles caused by squinting and other repeated muscle contractions. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are the best treatments to reduce the appearance of crow's feet.
This is a myth that can lead to poor results because men and women believe any surgeon can perform eyelid surgery. In fact, the delicate area around the eyes requires a deft and highly skilled plastic surgeon who should—at the very minimum—be a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Ideally, patients should choose a surgeon with additional specialized training. I'm actually 1 of only 2 plastic surgeons in Canada who are formally trained and certified in oculoplastic surgery (plastic surgery for the eyes).
A consultation with a trained and qualified plastic surgeon is the first step to creating a refreshed appearance through eyelid surgery. You can check out the photo gallery of before-and-after pictures featuring my actual patients or contact us using the online form to request a blepharoplasty consultation in Toronto. You can also call 1 of our 2 offices at (416) 925-7337 (Toronto) or (905) 743-9888 (Oshawa) to schedule an appointment.


The U.S. Senate shifted slightly closer on Tuesday to resolving a month-long partial government shutdown, but there was no sign of relief anytime soon for 800,000 federal workers who are furloughed or working without pay, Reuters reports.
The chamber will vote Thursday on rival proposals by President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats to end the shutdown. The votes will come one day before hundreds of thousands of federal employees will miss their second paycheck Friday, Wall Street Journal adds.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell laid the groundwork for the vote on a Democratic proposal to fund the government for three weeks, without attaching the $5.7 billion in U.S.-Mexico border wall funding demanded by Trump.
The President has opposed similar legislation in the House of Representatives, and McConnell previously said he would not consider a funding bill that Trump would refuse to sign.
But the Senate action could set the stage for the type of bipartisan negotiating that will be necessary to end a shutdown that began on December 22. Americans have largely blamed Trump for the shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.
A Trump administration official said on Tuesday the President still intended to deliver his State of the Union speech on January 29, even though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top U.S. Democrat, had recommended he delay it because of the shutdown.

Coach resigns from Colombian team over death threats
REUTERS , BOGOTA
Santa Fe coach Ruben Israel resigned and left Colombia on Monday after being threatened with death if he did not keep a particular player in his squad.
The 51-year-old Uruguayan said he had received calls on his mobile from a man claiming to be a member of hardcore Santa Fe fans and demanding that central defender Francisco Najera should be a part of his squad.
"The man said to me 'I'm simply making it clear to you that if Najera is not in the squad we're going to blow you and your family away,'" Israel told reporters minutes before leaving the country.
Israel had yet to take charge of a Santa Fe match, having only signed at the end of May for the team that failed to qualify for the championship semi-final stage.
'SCARED TO DEATH'
Santa Fe president Armando Farfan said Israel was "scared to death" and he had been unable to persuade him to go back on his decision to leave by offering him safety guarantees.
Najera, who had been assured by Israel of a place in the squad before the threats, quit the club after the incident.
"I'm leaving Santa Fe for my personal and professional well-being because I think I shouldn't stay here with all that's happened," the 26-year-old Najera said.
Farfan said the player had been pushing for a salary increase that the club was not prepared to give him.
Santa Fe, six-time champions but seeking their first title in 34 years, immediately began the search for a new coach.
Israel was appointed to replace former Colombia and Ecuador coach Hernan Dario Gomez, who quit after Santa Fe's failure to reach the semi-finals. He led Libertad to Paraguayan league titles in 2007 and last year.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano was named the winner of the Tip O'Neill Award on Tuesday as Canadian baseball player of the year.
The award, presented by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, is handed out to the Canadian player judged to have excelled in individual achievement and team contribution while adhering to baseball's highest ideals.
Romano, a Markham, Ont. native, saved 36 games for the Blue Jays and was selected to his first All-Star Game.
In 63 games, the hard-throwing right-hander recorded a 2.11 earned-run average and held opponents to a .190 batting average.

The Montreal-born Guerrero won the award in 2021.
"This is really special to win this award," Romano said in a statement. "I've followed the award over the years and I have a lot of respect for the previous winners. It will be great to have my name on the trophy alongside their names."
Romano was selected in the 10th round of the 2014 MLB draft by the Blue Jays. He made his Major League debut in 2019.
The Tip O'Neill Award is named after James (Tip) O'Neill, a Woodstock, Ont., native who was one of baseball's first legitimate stars.

BCSO | Dr. Mattson, Melanie, Delta Orthodontist.
Dr. Melanie Mattson is a dentist and certified specialist in orthodontics. She was born and raised in the interior of British Columbia in the city of Trail.

Dr. Mattson personally attends to every patient at every visit, and always takes the time to answer questions from patients and parents alike.
Her post secondary educational career began with undergraduate studies in microbiology at the University of Calgary, and continued at the University of Alberta, where Dr. Mattson obtained her degree in dentistry. Upon graduation, she entered a general practice residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, where she gained additional training in emergency dentistry, oral surgery, and special care dentistry. Having this valuable experience after dental school has made her a well-rounded practitioner with a thorough understanding of all facets of dentistry.
Dr. Mattson was thrilled to have the opportunity to return to British Columbia when she enrolled at UBC for three years of specialty training in orthodontics, earning her Masters degree in craniofacial sciences. She is a dually certified specialist, both as a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada as well as a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
She is well versed in all areas of orthodontics, with a particular interest in interceptive orthodontic techniques for young children with functional bite issues. Dr. Mattson considers herself a life long learner and is dedicated to offering the highest quality care to her patients. She routinely participates in study clubs, courses and conferences to keep up to date with the latest advances in orthodontic treatment.

Their story reads like the legendary rags-to-riches tale of three Motor City sisters who emerged from the projects to conquer the world of entertainment. They were influenced by gospel and classic rhythm & blues; even though they came out of the hip-hop generation. Motivated by their mutual quest for a career in music, as well as promising talent show performances, all three remained dedicated until fate led them to producer Donald "Dee" Bowden, who took them into the studio to record demos, and to their recent manager, Maureen Singleton, who landed them a contract with RCA Records.
With loads of down-to-earth appeal, youthful vocal licks, sassy struts and a state-of-the-street blend of soul-rooted melodies, coasting above an assortment of streetwise beats, New York City-bred Cheryl (Coko) Gamble, Leanne (Lelee) Lyons and Tamara (Taj) Johnson struck big as SWV.
With slammin' singles like "I'm So Into You", "Right Here", "Weak" and "Anything", all Top 10 smashes, resulted in the multi-platinum statusof their debut album, It's About Time.
Their core urban audience will delight in everything from the oh-so-funky slam dunk beats of "On And On" (featuring a vocal cameo from Erick Sermon), to the sparse, no-frills street vibe of the bumpin' "That's What I'm Here For" (featuring Digable Planets' Butterfly). Furthermore, the heightened soul awareness of ballads like "Use Your Heart", a breezy, dreamy R&B affair, the lazy, seductive "When This Feeling", the lush, romantic "You Are My Love" and the somber, melancholy beat balladry of "Fine Time" will surely appeal to older audiences. "It's mellow, it's jazzy, it's streetwise and it has a little pop on it," Lelee sums up, of the set's overall sound.
Now, following their debut success, which included Top 10 hits, popular videos, endless magazine coverageand a sold-out tour (with the likes of LL Cool J and Naughty By Nature), SWV has re-emerged as three young women ready to express themselves and be heard for who they truly are today. Taj explains, "The voices are the same (maybe better), the musical style is a little more varied, and the attitude is still, we'll take it all with a bag of chips on the side and maybe some candy!" SWV is continuing a steady pattern, with the release of their third RCA Records album, RELEASE SOME TENSION. The LP is chock full of the best of today's most slamming grooves, done SWV-style. "Someone", the first single from the album, pairs SWV with today'smusic wizard, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, who both produced the track and raps on it. The second single, "Lose My Cool", is a rhythmic duet between SWV andrap superstar Redman.
For that "spice of life," variety, SWV slowed the pace a bit on tracks such as "Rain," a trademark torch song ballad written and produced by first album collaborator, Brian Alexander Morgan; the dreamy "Here For You" and the flowing "When U Cry". And of course, "Can We" appears on the RELEASE SOME TENSION LP,since it's the slamming track which spawned this new album's concept, the foray into marrying SWV's renowned sound with today's hip-hop sound!


After his relapse, Tich hit rock bottom. Now, he is battling the inner demons, changing his life for the better and has genuine hope for the future.
The first time I was hospitalised through drink and drug problems was twenty years ago. I was taking Ecstasy every day like it was Prozac, to cope with my mum's death. I spent four weeks in hospital with drug induced psychosis.
I'm not long out of a treatment centre. It's symbolic to me that it's 20 years of my life that have been affected by what I now understand is an illness.
I've always accepted that I had issues with alcohol and I've always been very open about it.
I started drinking heavily when I was 18. It was a coping mechanism over the trauma of losing my mum, but it went on to dominate everything.
I tried to stop drinking many times but I would always smoke dope or have something in my system. I thought I was doing great whenever I wasn't drinking, but I was never completely abstinent. I felt I couldn't function without being on something. It was my mind telling me I couldn't do it. I know now that's part of the illness.
My whole life circled around pubs, clubs and partying. I guess I couldn't really picture another life. I couldn't imagine how to change my social circle or how to have fun. I couldn't go on holiday or go out for dinner. Everything I had previously done rotated around alcohol or some substance.
I was hardwired that way. If something good happened, if something bad happened, whatever happened, I wanted drink and drugs. I felt like I was able to pull it off, that it was manageable, that I could do it and still hold down a job.
I always found work, mostly in catering. I think I found myself in that profession because it was an easy place for me to find people to drink with.
Every job I lost was because I was drunk or late or hungover. That was one of the reasons I finally went into treatment. I couldn't concentrate and was struggling with simple tasks. I thought I was suffering from anxiety. My doctor gave me anti depressants and those combined with alcohol resulted in a mad bender. I totally lost the plot. That made me realise I had to go into rehab.
In April I went into a treatment centre for four weeks and that gave me a chance to sober up. That was the first time in a long time I'd completely abstained. On the day I entered the programme I stood on the steps and cried. I was in mourning, I was saying goodbye to my life as I knew it.
I did relapse for a few weeks, but I got back on the programme and feel like I've come back stronger because of it. I knew I had to do it this time - that I couldn't go through all this again.
Every alcoholic would love to be a normal drinker. It feels great when you manage just to have a couple of drinks and leave it at that, but quite quickly the heavy drinking begins again. Having just a couple of pints lets the illness right back in. You have to accept that you just can't. I didn't want my drinking to affect anyone else anymore.
Now that I've sobered up and turned my life around I can reflect on what I've done and why, and where it came from. To make sure I'm getting well, I need to fully understand myself.
I didn't realise just how selfish I'd been. I didn't realise that everything in my life was really motivated by what I wanted, not what the other people in my life needed. It might have been quite subtle but I was a manipulator - so subtle, I didn't even realise it. I thought I was a good guy.
When I lost my job and didn't have any savings, then it was my children who were affected, particularly at Christmas. It was my fault I lost all the jobs I did. I always seemed to have money for drink and drugs, but not for the things that really mattered and I was angry at everyone else for me losing my job.
I can forgive myself for that today. When I went into rehab prior to my relapse, a big part of it was wanting a better life for my friends and my family and my children. After the relapse I realised that I had hit rock bottom and I had to do this for me. I knew I couldn't live like that anymore and I knew it was potential death as well.
Addiction is a slow suicide. You're unhappy, you know you are unhappy, but you just can't place why that is.
I'm around 80 days sober. I've had some crisis' in the past months and haven't turned to alcohol. There are days that are hard but at the same time every day gets easier.
I'm going to turn 40 in December and it feels like I have a new lease of life. I have genuine hope for the future.
I'm hoping that maybe I can help people and they can learn from my experience. What I've realised is that by listening to other people and taking advice my life got better. I've caused so much damage to other people, and myself, I never want to go back to that.
I could never sit still, I couldn't even take a bath. There was no peace in me. After twenty years of battling I've finally found that I can sit on my own, I can be in my own company. I was never able to do that before.

The Mud House Once Owned By Steve Martin
The Mud House by Roland Coate Jr.
This semi-subterranean, poured concrete home constructed in 1974 in Santa Barbara, CA was one of the few homes built by Roland Coate, Jr. whose father, Roland Eli Coate, Sr., was a much better known architect. The home was not considered architecturally significant when first built, but as the years passed, it has become known for being one of the important examples of Modernist concrete architecture (or Brutalism) in California.
Mud House by Roland Coate Jr.
These photos of the home and its interior are from 2015 when then-owner actor, comedian and art collector Steve Martin put it on the market for $10,999,500. Martin lived in the home for almost 20 years. It's unknown as to who lives there now and the only present image of the home I can find is the satellite image below from Google Maps.
Firstly, if you didn't know, Roland E. Coate, Sr. (1890-1958) was a big time Los Angeles architect of sumptuous estates for the wealthy in Pasadena and West Los Angeles. He designed palatial homes for entertainment industry moguls like Jack Warner (Head of Warner Studios), Howard Hughes, producer David C. Selznick and actress Myrna Loy, amongst many others.
It's much harder to find information on his son's work, however. I was able to find only a school and two homes attributed to Roland E. Coate, Jr. The one we're featuring here (The Mud House) and an earlier home built in Westwood, CA.
The Mud House, originally designed for photographer and film maker Jesse Alexander, his wife, Nancy, and their children in 1974, is one of the major pieces of serious residential architecture to have emerged in California in recent decades.
The partially subterranean dwelling was built entirely — floors, walls and ceilings — of poured concrete and has four large bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The 7,377-square-foot main house also has a bunker-like guesthouse with two more bedrooms and a bathroom.
The following is abridged from a 1977 New York Times article:
A concrete mass set toward the top of its hillside site on Romero Canyon Road, the home is cut into the ground in such a way that most of the rooms face downhill and are open to the land and view below.
The house is approached on a curving drive that offers glimpses of the raw concrete exterior, a set of toughly outlined, finely detailed rectangular sections which, since they have been set into the hill at various angles, appear almost to be separate structures. The road continues past the side of the house up to the roof level, where the structure recedes and the visitor is left on a flattened hilltop; only the three chimneys and the watchtower remind us that there is, indeed, a building underneath. Even more important, the four towers form a tiny sculptural landscape of their own, framing the view and establishing a powerful, dignified presence.
A trio of round concrete chimneys and a sculptural "watchtower" are visible when the house is viewed from higher up on the hill; otherwise, the structure would almost disappear. The watchtower also functions as a sort of gazebo; a round stair within its round concrete form leads to a tiny sitting area and viewing platform.
The living room has interior walls of concrete and an outside wall of glass; it would be harsh but for the softness of the view, which is like a vast diorama behind glass. The room contains modern, but relatively soft and textured, furniture, and it is carpeted, which further offsets the coldness of concrete walls, as does the rounded form of the concrete chimney as it descends down to the fireplace. But the most skillful device Coate uses to relax the room is in the glass itself — it is divided into small panes, which give texture; only where a specific view is being framed does the wall break into a huge sheet of glass.
The house has a generous open kitchen, with a slatted wood floor, butcher‐block counters and a restaurant stove, elements which combine with the multi-paned glass to create a certain country house air. Yet it never fights with the rest of the house — indeed, what is remarkable about this house is the extent to which, in spite of the formality of its plan and the non domestic quality of its materials, it feels easy and comfortable.
The master bedroom, for example, which is another "finger" set off at an angle from the living room, shares the living room's materials — concrete and glass — yet the richness of the view and the careful choice of colorful quilts and kilim rugs bring warmth. The room's floor‐to‐ceiling glass wall projects out so the room appears to hover over the hillside; light and shadow play gently on the concrete. The overall effect is of serenity.

Mom Would Be Proud: Harry
Posted on July 11, 2008 by The Independent in Entertainment
BRITISH Prince Harry worked up a sweat on Tuesday as he carted wheelbarrows of cement mixture, filled a ditch and hammered nails from old roofing boards.
The young royal was helping refurbish a school for mentally and physically disabled children under the auspices of a charity he founded in the impoverished African kingdom of Lesotho in memory of his late mother.
Asked if Princess Diana, known for her charity work around the world, would be proud, he said simply: "I hope so."
Harry and his regiment from the Household Cavalry were helping put in wheelchair access, build a new kitchen and lay fencing around the Thuso Centre.
"I love physical labour," he said at the start of a three-week visit. "It would be wrong to be a patron of a charity and not get involved."
The centre in a dusty village among the rocky hills of Lesotho is the only special needs school in the country, and has few facilities.
Together with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, Harry started the Sentebale charity to help the country's children.
"It's about the vulnerable children."
"It's been massively rewarding," Harry said as he showed reporters around on Tuesday, his khaki trousers dusty with red dirt. "The changes I see are fantastic. This is about the children of Lesotho, the vulnerable children of Lesotho."
The African trip by members of the Household Cavalry has been planned for some time, but the decision to help the project in Lesotho was suggested by Harry. The affable 23-year-old first visited Lesotho in 2004, when he met young tuberculosis and Aids sufferers.
Harry and his regiment put in eight hours a day working on the centre, occasionally getting in a game of football with local villagers.
"They are working so hard," said Monuku Mofilikoane, principal of the centre.
Violet Moqolobane (44), a disabled woman who works at the centre, was impressed to see the tall, redheaded Harry taking part in both games and work.
"Most chiefs don't act like him," she said. "They think they are so important."
Pootsela Tseisa (24), said Harry was behaving as true royalty should. "He loves us. We are one for him, not black or white," he said. "This is a good example that we should follow. It doesn't matter how rich or how wealthy your family is."–– News24.com.

The Three of Pentacles serves as a reminder that the work load is lighter when divided among others.
As the holiday season begins, don't be afraid to listen and share tasks with your loved ones.
How do you plan to share the holiday tasks with your loved ones for your self care this year? Maybe you're not the one that does everything for the holidays every year? Perhaps it's another family member that could use an extra hand.
Far too often due to anxiety or perfectionism, many of us are driven to do everything and be everything each season and we forget to entire point of the holidays. It's supposed to be a family event where loved ones come together to appreciate and value one another.
So this year, whether you're the one that typically does it all or the one that enjoys it all, consider trying to meet more in the middle like these pandas are doing in the image of this card. This way everyone gets a chance to be involved and enjoys the season.
