As many of you are probably already aware, FluTrackers.com has been offline and their website has been unavailable for the past 18 hours. What you may not know is that their hosting company - Linode - has under a massive coordinated cyber attack since early yesterday, and that this is just the latest in a series of attacks which began Christmas day.
This attack affects far more than just FluTrackers, although I have no information on how many other sites are affected. Linode's data centers in Atlanta, Dallas, Newark and London have all been affected, although only Atlanta remains down.
You can follow the progress of Linode's attempts to mitigate this outage on their status page, which the most recent post shown below:
Update - Around two hours after bringing things back online, attacks on Atlanta have started again which are affecting the entire datacenter. At this time we are being taken back offline to attempt further mitigation. Jan 2, 07:01 UTC
While this problem will be eventually resolved, it is a tangible example of a threat we hear about nearly every day: Cyber Attacks.
According to a report last April in ComputerWeekly (see Critical infrastructure commonly hit by destructive cyber attacks, survey reveals):
. . . . that 53% of the respondents noticed an increase of attacks to their computer systems in 2014, and 76% stated that cyber attacks against infrastructure are getting more sophisticated.
Almost a third of the respondents were public entities, with communications, security and finance being the most heavily represented industries.
Last July, in The Lloyd's Business Blackout Scenario, we looked at the impact of a prolonged grid down disaster that could be caused by solar flares, EMP, or a cyber-attack. As we saw in the GridEx 2013 Preparedness Drill, our government is actively looking at ways to mitigate the risks.
A couple of months ago, well known journalist Ted Koppel published a book called Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath, that explores this very scenario - one that outgoing DHS Secretary Napolitano warned about publicly in 2013.
Without electrical power, water and gasoline doesn't pump, elevators and air conditioners don't run, ATM machines and banks close, grocery stores can't take debit or credit cards, and everything from cooking, to flushing toilets, becomes a major challenge.
While we worry that natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and solar storms could disrupt the power grid, banking & finance, or our communications system - sadly the threat of infrastructure failures from man made sources grows greater every year.
If your family or business emergency plan doesn't consider the very real threat of an extended power outage, you have some work to do. A good starting place is to revisit an earlier blog called #NatlPrep: Instead Of Cursing The Darkness.

Article marketing is one of the simplest and most effortless ways of generating both traffic and backlinks to a site.
That's probably why so many beginning internet marketers start out using article marketing.
And since everyone and her dog is using this traffic generation strategy, you can easily be inclined to disregard article marketing as completely outdated and totally over-saturated.
Leading to the conclusion, that article marketing no longer works.
Big mistake!
It only means is that you need to step up our game.

If you've ever done article marketing before, you already know that the most crucial element of your article is your author resource box – apart from the headline that is -.
Now, let's try to boost your article marketing campaigns.
Fire up your neurons, cause I want to take you through a fast three question multiple choice test about integrating massively powerful resource boxes into them.
1. What's the most important element you must consider when writing your resource box?
a) Your readers are too busy to read them
b) No one is interested in reading resource boxes
c) Nobody cares about you or your business.
The correct answer here is c, nobody cares about you or your business.
Although this may sound harsh, it's very true.
The only thing other people are interested in is… WIIFM or "What's In It For Me?" and nothing else. Therefore, you should always talk about the interests of your visitors during a conversation instead of talking about yourself.
Since your article is nothing else but a conversation, so this also applies to resource boxes.
Be assured that while reading your article, your reader doesn't care about you at that time. The only reason she clicked your promising article headline in the first place was, she thought that in some way your valuable content might be able to improve HER life.
Do you recognize article resource boxes that kind of look like this:
"Lucky Luke manages to stay fit and for the last 5 years he helps others to do the same, and he has a website at…"
Who cares? The resource box isn't the place to focus on your life!
While writing your resource box, you MUST put yourself in the mind of your readers. Only if you promise them something to improves their life, they may click on your bio box.
2. What should your resource box be centered around?
a) Benefits to the reader
b) Your credibility
c) The problems your readers face.
Of course the correct answer here is a: benefits to the reader.
Your readers are looking for a solution to their problems. Therefore, make it VERY clear HOW they will benefit from clicking your resource box link.
Take a look at the two following examples:
"For more dog training advice, click here."
"Discover how to educate your dog to know and obey the words "sit" and "stay" in three days"
Based on the benefits these boxes promise, which one would YOU click on?
3. You should always _________ your resource box with your article.
a) Separate
b) Blend
c) Mix
The correct answer here is b.
Adding a resource box to your articles that blend in very well will boost your click-through rates, while a disjointed resource box will decrease CTR.
So… how did you do on this quiz?
The take away from this article should be that:
– nobody cares about you or your business,
– you should definitely focus on your reader's benefits and
– to blend your resource box in with your article.
Very simple tips to execute, so apply them in your next article marketing campaigns and watch your resource box CTR's skyrocket!

Communities across North Carolina are successfully incorporating youth entrepreneurship into their economic development strategies. Community organizations and educators are partnering to offer youth entrepreneurship camps that build entrepreneurial skills in youth. This article shows examples of how communities are recognizing the value of youth involvement in economic development.
Many youth between the ages of 9 and 18 attend youth entrepreneurship camps across North carolina. A variety of camp activities include hearing from local entrepreneurs, utilizing hands-on activities to discover their community, assessing their own skills, and creating profitable business idea. During the camp, youth complete activities that build creativity, teamwork, leadership, and financial literacy skills.
A remarkable trait of many camps is the partnering that takes place across the community to make the camps a world. Several community partnerships include Community Colleges, Public Schools, local 4-H Cooperative Extension, and native Boys and Girls Clubs. Many camps are held on Community College campuses to help expose youth to the institution environment.
From the very beginning, camp participants are encouraged to "think like an entrepreneur" by being resourceful and taking dangers. The business teams are encouraged to carefully consider what their community needs, arias agency what perform well, and what interests them. The teams quickly become competitive about which the most creative and sometimes most outrageous business points. Unfailingly, the adults who serve as judges for the final presentations are afraid of the creativity of the ideas, the expertise of the presentations, and the engagement of the kids.
Many communities decide to select a template for their entrepreneurship camp and encourage students to generate a business around the theme. One theme camp was delivered by a partnership that included Carteret Community College and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. With funding from the Conservation Fund, the College and ail arias Museum created an entrepreneurship camp that taught students about the heritage and history of Harker's Island and also the local community. Campers created businesses that reflected this heritage, including a tool that would help boats stuck on sand bars, rrncluding a nature center not merely offer guided excursions. One student commented, "My favorite part was learning what it took to develop a business and run a checkbook."
Many counties in western North Carolina are offering youth entrepreneurship camps to teach youth leadership and problem solving training. Communities are beginning to understand the great need of partnerships and aide. Wilkes Community College partners with 4-H Cooperative Extension to offer Youth Entrepreneurship Camps in Wilkes and Ashe Counties. The camps combine entrepreneurship with growing industries in the region including advanced materials and sustainable electric. Students took part in a presentation by Martin Marietta Materials and learned on how composite materials are developed and put into play .. They were able to handle and test materials such as the blast proof panels that protect Ough.S. troops. Through the theme camps students were encouraged to think about developing businesses that capitalize on the assets on their community.
Several counties are working together to present a regional youth entrepreneurship camp. Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College supplies Young Entrepreneurial Scholars (YES!) Camp for ail arias high-school students the refund policy year started a Middle School Academy Camp for Junior high school students. The Young Entrepreneurial Scholars (YES!) Camp requires interested students to submit a camp application and recommendations. Students who participate enter into the camp with really business idea that hope to are a real enterprise 1 day.
Many communities across North Carolina make the decision incorporate youth entrepreneurship his or her economic development method. Youth entrepreneurship camps build on the trend and teach right now how to think like entrepreneurs and create a community that encourages entrepreneurship. Students find out entrepreneurship as employment option, and learn entrepreneurial skills that may benefit them whatever their career idea. Youth entrepreneurship plays a role in economic development as community leaders learn tangible ways to get it to part of their larger strategy. Entire regions will benefit through the coming of more businesses plus better trained work force.

You guys... I've been wanting to let you all know for quite some time, but had to keep quiet so not to spoil anything. But, I can finally say, Parker is back in Port Charles. For those of you that are reading this and supported Parker returning, I want to say thank you.
The story has been set up in a very interesting way. I love that this character is so layered and rich. I think the writers have just barely started to scratch below the surface.
Shawn Reeves (costume designer) picked a bright, beautiful pink top for Parker. I appreciated that he wanted her to be bright and fresh. That's probably all I can say for now without getting myself in trouble, so I'll sign off. But, stay tuned for the fun and drama. I'm shooting more on Monday.
What do you all think Parker is doing back in PC?

Happy 4th of July Birthday to Winnie!
Categories: Blog
I've always remembered Winnie's birthday. You see, from the moment we first met in October of 2007, I fell in love. She was a remarkable young girl that I was drawn to. She laughed out loud… all the time. She sang, she danced, and she was extremely emotional… she hid that well. She reminded me of myself.
Almost five years have passed and our relationship has grown. She calls me Mum, my husband, Dad, and she knows and loves her American brothers and sisters. She is my daughter. She is the reason why I kept going back to Kenya. I knew I couldn't bring her here, so I did everything in my powers to make sure she had what she needed.
She was just finishing up her 4th grade year in 2007. She has just entered High School this past January. Time has gone by so quickly. She has grown, matured, learned to love and trust again. I wish I could see her more often. I wish Kenya was closer. My heart aches knowing that she was in boarding school today, on her birthday, and I couldn't kiss her, hug her, and wish her a very happy birthday.
I do tell her though every time we see each other, that on this day in America, we celebrate her birthday with grand fireworks 🙂 So, happy birthday my dear Winnie.
I love and miss you with all my heart.

Vanilla is one of the most complicated and unsung flavors in our world. Floral, fruity, aromatic: vanilla has it all. Enjoy vanilla in all its deliciousness in your new favorite protein powder from PaleoPro, made with grass-fed beef and egg protein and nothing weird. A bit of vanilla, a bit of stevia, and it's all done. Ready for your blender bottle or next smoothie, this powder is delicious and better for you than just about everything else out there in the protein powder world. Grab some and make it part of your dairy-free, soy-free recovery routine. ~
For the true, true stories behind this incredible foodstuff, read on.
Like never before, a whole world of paleo-friendly protein powders is before you. No matter what your taste preferences or dietary leanings, you will be covered by what's here on the virtual shelves. Like any recommended paleo pantry staple, the key is real food ingredients, sustainably sourced.
Introducing PaleoPro: the best thing going for real-deal paleo protein powder. If you don't tolerate dairy, you have a new best friend in the protein powder world. PaleoPro has created a real-food powder that combines egg and grass-fed beef proteins into one complete and nearly perfect blend.
Now, why would you want to buy this, especially with a not-so-little price tag for protein powder? Easy. Steak costs more than milk; grass-fed beef costs more than conventional. This protein powder starts with beef steak, not collagen or dairy. Once the beef is simmered down to release all the proteins, it is air-dried into an easy to mix powder. And the eggs? Same thing. Start with humanely raised chickens and use their whole eggs - not just the whites. Air-dry them to a fine powder. Then add huge flavor from real vanilla, and a bit of stevia for sweetness. Done. Nothing weird.
Tasting this powder is an experience you won't forget. Even if you have misgivings about slugging down some beef protein, put those aside and get out your blender. Or shaker bottle. This is an easy to mix, gently sweet blend that tastes almost milky on its own. Either the cacao or vanilla flavors are unbelievably delicious blended with coffee and a splash of heavy cream (if you're down with cream, that is). Or just shake up with a nut milk or whatever strikes your fancy, and let the muscle repair begin.
Why PaleoPro Protein Powder is so good for you
Here are just a few of the qualities of this new and super-paleo protein powder:
- Increase athletic performance, improve satisfaction
- Real beef and egg are the perfect whole food start for your recovery
- Helps amino acid absorption and protein synthesis
- Avoids any dairy intolerances and digestive distress
- Support blood flow to the muscles while improving recovery
How do you take your Protein? Any which way (except whey)!
There are tons of ways to use your protein powder. Start with the blender bottle and get creative. Down the hatch! However, if you're a frequent consumer of protein powders, or if the flavor is getting a little boring just mixed in that bottle, some inspirational recipes come in.
Add it to any kind of smoothie on the planet. Kale smoothie, fruit smoothie, Liz Wolfe's liver smoothie (Google it, really) - go wild. One of my favorites for post-workout recovery is easy and delish: 1 banana, 3-4 ice cubes, 8oz water, 1 scoop PaleoPro powder. Dash of sea salt optional. Seriously wonderful.
How about a recipe from PaleoPro themselves? Here's one for a hard-core, nutritious meal replacement smoothie.
Protein Chocolaty Green Shake
1 heaping scoop Ancient Cacao (or Vanilla) PaleoPro protein powder
2 handfuls Spinach, Kale, etc..
1 heaping tbsp Almond butter
1+ cups Water or Almond milk (Please NO Dairy or Soy milk)
½ small Avocado
½ of whole lime, peeled
Ice (optional)
Directions: Blend. This turbo smoothie is mildly sweet and minimal on the carbs. Perfect for the keto dieter or anyone looking to eat healthy and avoid weight gain.
About PaleoPro, in their own words
Who are we? We're a group of 'paleo nuts' who grew frustrated at the lack of 'real food' yet convenient paleo protein powder products. It amazed us how even the more 'hardcore paleo' of our friends would use 'whey-based' protein powders, or protein powders that claimed to be paleo protein powders but were actually full of nasty things and had long lists of ingredients!
Each of us at PaleoPro were committed to making a quality product for various reasons – dietary restrictions, CrossFit addictions, lifestyle choices – but it all boiled down to a desire to know exactly what we were putting in our bodies. We wanted to make a product that we would actually use and feel good about using. But it wasn't easy, we had a long list of requirements:
No soy.
No whey, dairy products, or lactose.
No added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
No preservatives.
No artifical ingredients.
No gluten, grains or wheat products.
No harmful or chemical processing.
Even more about PaleoPro's Protein: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where do those eggs come from?
Answer: We use egg suppliers that practice organic and cage-free methods as well as adhering to strict animal welfare standards.
Q: Egg and beef protein, really? What does it taste like?
Answer: It tastes great! Our ancient cacao flavor tastes like chocolate milk, and our aztec vanilla flavor tastes like a vanilla shake.

Tea with pine needles and berries
In extreme situations, one has to focus on what matters most, in that it allows to survive, balancing on the thin side. Water, food, rest ... How boring. But sometimes, it is enough to show a little ingenuity, to a severe test to introduce some unexpected solutions to raise the tone, mood, itp
Why not just water? Why raw frogs for dinner? Need to improvise. Somewhere a little more steam, but something to cook. Bake or fry the fish, instead of eating them raw. Even if the mold kindle a fire to cook or keep warm - still kindle! It will actually lift your mood, and instinctively charged primitive instinctual energy to survive.
In this paper, we just did and talk about one such way is not just a drink, and a mood, to make a "flavor" in the process of survival. Water, extracted in the wild, as a rule, you need to boil. If the water is still boiling, then why not make tea? Good question, right? Tea's better than just water? Really? :)
Clearly, this tea will not ... It's really what you get in an extreme situation in the Himalayan foothills. In all other cases, the tea can be improvised. In the course will:
- Conifers (sour-bitter flavor, plus a fair amount of dose vitamin C);
- Berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, viburnum, magnolia etc);
- The leaves of plants such as raspberries, blackberries.
So do not settle for small! Take the most out of life! Even if it is on the verge of life. :)

The Diocese of Bath and Wells is a diocese in the Church of England Province of Canterbury in England.
The diocese covers the county of Somerset and a small area of Dorset. The Episcopal seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells is located in the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew in the city of Wells in Somerset.
Before 909, Somerset lay within the diocese of Sherborne. At this date, Athelm (later Archbishop of Canterbury) was appointed the first bishop of the Diocese of Wells, making the secular church there into the diocesan cathedral. The secular canons at Wells vied with the monks of the monasteries at Glastonbury and Bath for supremacy in the diocese and it was with difficulty that the cathedral retained its status, so much so that the canons were reduced to begging in order to obtain their bread. It was to this impoverished cathedral church that the Bishop Gisa was appointed in 1060. Under him, grants of land were obtained successively from the kings Edward the Confessor, Harold and William the Conqueror and buildings were constructed for the secular community.
Gisa's successor, John de Villula (1088-1122), moved the see to become the Diocese of Bath in 1090, using the Abbey Church of Ss Peter & Paul as his cathedral and in so doing he regressed the position of the cathedral at Wells. Robert of Lewes, appointed bishop in 1136, enhanced on the position of Wells. As well as rebuilding the cathedral he instituted the arrangement by which although Bath retained precedence, the seat was located in both churches and the bishop was elected by both chapters. However the diocesan title remained the same.
Bishop Reginald fitz Jocelin (1174-91) brought Saint Hugh of Lincoln to England and his successor, Savaric FitzGeldewin (1192-1205) forcibly annexed Glastonbury Abbey to the diocese in 1197. He moved his seat there, with the approval of Pope Celestine III, and the see became officially known as the Diocese of Glastonbury. The monks of Glastonbury, however, rejected Savaric's authority and the title Diocese of Bath and Glastonbury was therefore used for all practical purposes until his successor, Jocelin of Wells, a native of Wells itself, renounced the claim to Glastonbury in 1219. Thereupon he adopted the style Diocese of Bath. Although he did not use the name of Wells in his title, his contribution to the city was greater than any other bishop of the diocese: under his authority the cathedral was restored and enlarged, adding the west front, making this the visual signature of the building. Further, he increased the thirty-five canons to fifty and founded a grammar school for the city.
Following his death in 1242 however, the monks at Bath unilaterally elected one of their number, Roger, as successor, in disregard for the chapter of Wells. His appointment received confirmation from King Henry III and the new pope Innocent IV. The chapter at Wells appealed the decision, with the result that the Pope declared, on 3 January 1245, that whilst Roger should remain, he would be bishop of a see thenceforth styled the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
The diocese of Bath and Wells proper (Badoniensis et Wellensis) dates therefore from 1245. The diocese contained the three archdeaconries of Bath, Wells, and Taunton. William of Bitton bishop from 1267-74 was renowned for his piety, and his tomb became a place of pilgrimage in Wells. The completion of the buildings was achieved under Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury (1329-63). Thomas Beckington (1443-65) was another noted liberal benefactor of the city.
Oliver King (1495-1503) rebuilt Bath Abbey in the late Perpendicular style. The work was begun in 1499 and completed in 1530 under Bishop John Clerk. The abbey was the last complete monastic edifice to be completed before the impending Reformation. He was succeeded by Adrian de Castello (1504-18) who was an absentee bishop, under whom the see was administered by Polydore Vergil the noted historian. Adrian's successor Cardinal Wolsey (1518-23) was also an absentee bishop, held the see concurrently with that of York.
The abbey at Bath was dissolved by King Henry VIII in 1538 during the English Reformation. Thereafter the Church of England bishop, though retaining the old style, had his seat at Wells alone. William Barlow, was appointed in 1548. He fled in 1553 on the accession of Queen Mary I, and his successor was the Roman Catholic Gilbert Bourne (1554-59), who was deprived and imprisoned in the Tower of London by Queen Elizabeth, becoming, in 1569, one of the eleven Roman Catholic bishops who died in prison.
The diocesan offices, the bishops' offices and residences and the cathedral are all located in Wells. The diocese is not referred to as Bath diocese or Wells diocese, but as Bath and Wells diocese.[1]
The ordinary of the diocese is the diocesan Bishop of Bath and Wells, Peter Hancock; he is assisted throughout the diocese by the Bishop suffragan of Taunton, Peter Maurice. The suffragan See of Taunton was created in 1911. Alternative episcopal oversight (for parishes in the diocese who reject the ministry of priests who are women) is provided by the provincial episcopal visitor (PEV) the Bishop suffragan of Ebbsfleet, Jonathan Goodall. The bishop is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop of the diocese in order to facilitate his work there.
There are seven retired honorary assistant bishops licensed in the diocese:
Additionally the twin brother bishops Michael Ball (retired Bishop of Truro) and Peter Ball (retired Bishop of Gloucester), founders of the Community of the Glorious Ascension, live together in the diocese (in Aller, Somerset.)[9][10]
The diocese is divided into three archdeaconries: Bath, Taunton and Wells. These in turn are divided into 18 deaneries:
Devon, Diocese of Truro, Exeter Cathedral, Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth, Bishop of Exeter
Salisbury Cathedral, Diocese of Oxford, Church of England, Dorset, Diocese of Bristol

How often should you get your air ducts cleaned?
How often you should clean your air ducts depends on your situation. If you or someone in the home has asthma or is acutely allergic to certain airborne materials or pollen, regular duct cleaning may be helpful. The Environmental Protection Agency doesn't have an official position on the necessity of air duct cleaning unless the ducts have been contaminated by rodents, insects or mold, or you are aware of particles blowing out through the vents. The EPA recommends you have your air ducts cleaned on an as-needed basis. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests having air ducts cleaned every three to five years.
Be cautious with companies that offer "whole house air duct cleaning," urges the NADCA. The company may be using unscrupulous tactics to upsell you once they get started. Before any work begins, always clarify in writing what the job entails and what the cost will be. To protect yourself against fraud, read customer reviews and verify that your HVAC cleaning service has applicable licenses and certifications.
Who fixes furnaces?
If your furnace needs to be repaired, you'll want to find a qualified heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) repair technician. Each state has its own licensing requirements; some require all HVAC technicians to have an HVAC license, while others only require someone operating an HVAC service and installation company with employees to hold a contractor's license. For example, in Alabama, the Alabama Board of Heating Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Contractors regulates licensing, while in Kansas there is no state regulatory body and HVAC licensing can vary by region. For simple furnace repairs like changing out a filter, a trusted handyman can probably handle the job, but a trained professional should be hired for tasks like replacing a gas valve, installing a new inducer fan motor or other critical furnace repair jobs that involve dealing with gas leaks or other dangerous conditions. For more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.
Do you need to clean your air ducts?
Air duct cleaning is done by heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals. The pros use industrial-strength, truck-mounted vacuums and powerful brushes and hoses to clean inside the metal ducts that make up your forced air heating and cooling system. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends duct cleaning if there is "substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface ducts, ducts that are infested with vermin such as rodents or insects, or ducts that are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers."
You should also have air ducts cleaned after recent water contamination or water damage to prevent mold; after renovations or remodeling to ensure debris and dust didn't settle in the vents and ducts; if you are having problems with allergies or asthma; or when you are moving into a newly purchased home, especially if the previous owners smoked or had pets. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends getting your air ducts cleaned every three to five years, or every two to three years in regions where homeowners use their air conditioning and heater for many months of the year, while the EPA suggests homeowners have duct cleaning done as needed.
How long does it take to get your ducts cleaned?
The amount of time air duct cleaning takes can depend on how extensive your duct system is, how old your air ducts are, and whether they have ever been cleaned. On average, expect a standard size home (between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet) to take 2-5 hours for one to two technicians to clean. Here are the proper protocol and equipment you should expect from a professional duct cleaning service, as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency:
- All doors and access ports opened to ensure the entire duct system is inspected and cleaned.
- Thorough system inspection prior to cleaning to identify possible asbestos-containing materials. If asbestos is present, specially trained and equipped contractors must do the removal.
- Use of approved vacuum equipment that exhausts particles outside of your house. If the vacuum exhausts inside your home, it must be HEPA equipment.
- Furnishings and carpet covered and protected.
- Soft-bristled brushes only on fiberglass duct board and sheet metal ducts internally lined with fiberglass.
- Ductwork properly protected.
- Adherence to guidelines and practices set down by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association.
How much does it cost to have someone clean your dryer vent?
The national average dryer vent cleaning costs range from $190 to $260. Dryer vent or duct cleaning costs can vary based on where you live in the country and what ductwork repairs may be required. Duct cleaning pros will use a brush cleaning method, a forced air vacuum, or a combination of the two to remove lint and other debris that can collect in your dryer duct, lint trap housing and vent. If left unchecked, this buildup of highly flammable debris can catch fire and lead to a home fire, says the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. In addition to home safety, a great reason for regular cleaning is the money you'll likely save on energy bills and improved indoor air quality. Pros may offer a lower rate on their dryer duct cleaning costs when you also hire them to clean your entire HVAC duct system. To ensure you're working with a pro who will keep your home as safe as possible, read their reviews and check whether they have been certified by a reputable organization such as the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) or the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). Many duct cleaning pros will also show you before-and-after photos as proof of the cleaning.

MOSCOW — President Vladimir V. Putin's press secretary spent much of Thursday denying a new round of rumors about Mr. Putin's health, explaining that he has been working from home lately rather than commuting to the Kremlin to avoid causing traffic congestion.
Vedomosti, a daily newspaper, reported on Thursday that Mr. Putin has postponed a series of foreign trips — to Turkey, Bulgaria, India and Turkmenistan — until late November at the earliest, meaning that his December travel schedule will be jam-packed.
Last week, Reuters noted the postponed trips, and quoted unidentified government officials who said Mr. Putin was suffering from back problems that might require surgery. On Wednesday came the news that Mr. Putin was postponing his trademark marathon televised question-and-answer session, an event that usually takes place in December, until the spring or summer.
Dmitri S. Peskov, Mr. Putin's spokesman, said the president pulled a muscle in his back while exercising in early September, and suffered from a "painful reaction for a couple of days" during the Asia-Pacific economic summit meeting in the eastern city of Vladivostok. He said the president was not suffering from any continuing ill effects from what he said was "not an injury, it's just a mismovement."
"He is not getting treatment, he is doing sports, every day, like always," Mr. Peskov said in an interview. "He's got no injury. There is nothing to heal."Continue reading the main story
He said the timing of the foreign trips had never been finalized or announced by the Kremlin, so it was not correct to say they had been delayed. Clearly exasperated by the battery of questions, Mr. Peskov tried to maintain his good humor, saying the rumors were "a good thing, because it means that we don't have serious problems."
"Journalists are trying to make a picture — a nonexistent picture — and they are asking questions, and of course we are a little bit tired of answering this thing," he said. "Really. I see him when he is not under television cameras, and he is 100 percent normal."
Mr. Putin's health is, of course, no casual matter. Now 60, he is following a term as prime minister with his third term as president in a political system that hinges on his personality. While there are powerful interest groups within the Russian government, none of them can act without Mr. Putin's consent, leaving him at center of a complex system that must balance disparate demands.
State-controlled television made much of Mr. Putin's good health and vigorous lifestyle last month, when he officially reached Russia's retirement age. A documentary that was broadcast on his birthday focused largely on his daily workout routine, and showed him tucking into healthy foods like oatmeal and an energy drink containing beets and horseradish.
It is undeniable that he leaves his residence less frequently these days, and political observers have begun to scrutinize Mr. Putin's body language closely. On Thursday, Aleksei A. Venediktov, the editor in chief of Ekho Moskvy, an influential radio station, described watching Mr. Putin grip the lectern while standing at a long awards ceremony in early September, then leave midceremony, allowing Sergei B. Ivanov, the head of the presidential administration, to finish.
"This does not happen, at least it has not happened," Mr. Venediktov said during a morning talk show. "After that I understood that there were in fact problems and the problems were serious, because Putin is a patient person in this sense and endures all his sports injuries quite well. That means it's serious."
Mr. Venediktov also said Mr. Putin's aides "groveled at his feet" to entreat him not to take part in a September stunt, in which he flew a motorized hang glider to guide endangered cranes on their first migratory flight, lest he further injure his back. Thursday's newspaper report said his injury flared up after the flight. Mr. Peskov rejected that idea in a morning radio appearance, saying "nothing was aggravated after the flight with the cranes."
The chatter is reminiscent of the scrutiny that followed Soviet leaders, whose posture and skin tone were the subject of chatter among journalists, diplomats and analysts who pored over photographs in Western capitals. President Boris N. Yeltsin regularly took part in rallies during his 1996 presidential campaign despite heart troubles so serious that, around four months later, he underwent a seven-hour operation to circumvent five clogged arteries.Continue reading the main story

Web site is displaying placeholder from other Web site instead of index.cfm
I can't be sure of the source of the problem without seeing the HTML, however, here's my guess: Index.cfm references objects with full URLs rather than just URIs. URIs don't list the Web site name, just the path to the file. For example, when referencing an image, Cold Fusion produces HTML that looks like this:

Rather than a shorter URI that doesn't contain the site name, like this:
 This in itself isn't a problem, unless the hostname listed in the full URL is wrong. In the previous example, perhaps you typed "www.thissite.com" in the browser, and index.cfm includes references to "www.someothersite.com". Check your Cold Fusion configuration to verify that CF knows the correct site name.

This remote control has been discontinued and replaced by DOM505, which is the genuine Dominator remote in the same format and does the same job.
To program that will be a bit hard with DOM505
However we recommend you to purchase the conversion kit MK711 (comes with one add-on receiver and one remote) or MK712 (with two remotes) as this conversion kit (also a more valuable option) will allow you to program up to 30 remotes just in case your current receiver is out of memory capacity. Also the replacement remote compatible with the new receiver is much easier to acquire in case of future needs.
This one is upgraded to DOM505.

Everyone seems to have made there own challenge for the month of August. Some have decided to go 100% strict paleo, others have set weight metrics as there target. I like the idea of small goals to set yourself. So I have decided that every month I will set a new goal to try and accomplish.
This month it is brutally simple. Get to 100 pushups.
My current fresh non-stop amount is 36. Using the progressive increase plan from over at hundredpushups.com and seeing that I only have 4 weeks to do it, I am going to start at week 4. Do two weeks of week 4 then progress to week 5 and 6.
So off I go!

Movie Review: Bhoothnath Returns
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
The one thing to be said for Nitesh Tiwari's "Bhoothnath Returns" is that it has impeccable timing. At a time when India is caught up in election fever, and every TV news channel is celebrating "the dance of democracy", the film delivers the same message, albeit with a higher budget and a stronger medium than public service advertisements.s
Combining a children's film with a sermon on the importance of voting couldn't have been easy, and at times, the film falters. Yet, you cannot help but warm up to the characters and the rather uneven storyline, thanks to the generous dose of honesty that director Tiwari brings to the table.
Amitabh Bachchan reprises his role as Bhoothnath, an amiable ghost in the land of spectres, depicted in the film as an idyllic European village with meadows and towering castles. Ridiculed because he couldn't spook earthlings in the first film, Bhoothnath is sent back to scare a few kids, so that he can fulfil his ghostly duties.
Once on Earth, however, Bhoothnath forgets his original mission, thanks to his encounter with Akhrot, a wisecracking urchin in Mumbai's biggest slum, and the everyday hardships of the poor in Indian cities. Akhrot convinces Bhoothnath that the best way to make use of his supernatural powers is to contest elections against the local builder-cum-politician-cum-gangster, Bhausaheb (Boman Irani), who has prospered for long, did nothing for his constituents and is the stereotype of a typical Indian politician.
The concept of a ghost contesting elections might seem far-fetched, but thanks to the crackling chemistry between Parth Bhalerao (who plays Akhrot) and Bachchan, the plot seems to work. Sanjay Mishra, who plays the friendly neighbourhood lawyer, also adds to the great cast and scenes featuring the trio are among the film's best.
There are plenty of simplistic solutions to problems; long, rambling speeches; and lingering shots of kids living in poverty — which leads to the film often over-stating its point. But thanks to the two main leads, you might forgive these flaws.
For that, credit must go to Bhalerao, who seems to revel in playing off Bachchan, matching his comic timing, and enjoying the repartee. Bachchan seems to have mellowed down, a far cry from the days when he loved to play characters that rebelled against the system. This time, he'd like to be a part of it.
Like India's democratic system, "Bhoothnath Returns" has some noticeable flaws, but it does inject enough faith for viewers to cheer it on.

Investigation of Degradation Effects Due to Gate Stress in GaN-on-Si High Electron Mobility Transistors Through Analysis of Low Frequency Noise

Gallium Nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) have superior performance characteristics compared to Silicon (Si) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) based transistors. GaN is a wide bandgap semiconductor which allows it to operate at higher breakdown voltages and power. Unlike traditional semiconductor devices, the GaN HEMT channel region is undoped and relies on the piezoelectric effect created at the GaN and Aluminum Gallium Nitride (AlGaN) heterojunction to create a conduction channel in the form of a quantum well known as the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG). Because the GaN HEMTs are undoped, these devices have higher electron mobility crucial for high frequency operation. However, over time and use these devices degrade in a manner that is not well understood. This research utilizes low frequency noise (LFN) as a method for analyzing changes and degradation mechanisms in GaN-on-Si devices due to gate stress.
LFN is a useful tool for probing different regions of the device that cannot be measured through direct means. LFN generation in GaN HEMTs is based on the carrier fluctuation theory of 1/f noise generation which states fluctuations in the number of charge carriers results in conductance fluctuations that produce a Lorentzian noise spectrum. The summing Lorentzian noise spectra from multiple traps leads to 1/f and random telegraph signal (RTS) noise. The primary cause of carrier fluctuations are electron traps near the 2DEG and in the AlGaN bulk. These traps occur naturally due to dislocations and impurities in the manufacturing process, but new traps can be generated by the inverse-piezoelectric effect during gate stress.
This thesis introduces noise and presents a circuit to bias the devices and measure gate and drain LFN simultaneously. Three measurements are performed before and after gate DC stress at three different temperatures: DC characterization, capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements, and LFN measurements. The DC characteristics show an increase in gate leakage after stress caused by an increase in traps after degradation consistent with trap assisted tunneling. However, the leakage current on the drain and source side differ before and after stress leading to the conclusion that the source side of the gate is more sensitive to gate stress. Gate leakage current on the drain side is also sensitive to temperature due to thermionic trap assisted tunneling. Hooge parameter calculations agree with previous research. The LFN results show an increase in gate and drain noise power, SIg(f) and SId(f), in accordance with increased gate leakage current under cutoff bias. RTS noise is also observed to increase in frequency with increased temperature. Activation energies for RTS noise are extracted and qualitatively linked to trap depth based on the McWhorter trap model.

When i met Mrs M i fell for her very quickly and in a huge way. I wanted to spend every minute i had with her but we lived in different counties and she had Seth so we were limited to when we could see each other in the first few months and for how long. It was really difficult but we did everything we could to spend every chance we could together. I had said 'I love You' to people before but this was clearly the real deal and everything before that was just a poor attempt at what i was looking for. Because of the distance (which wasn't that far but was enough to be annoying at times) we would spend a lot of our time on trains and buses. I hated leaving her and was always pretty miserable when we had to go our seperate ways. The journey home was always grim so to take my mind off it i started doodling in a sketchbook, very quick sketches of things that we had been doing or of photos i had taken.
*The 'Penis' thing crops up a fair bit, we're not deviants but if you have seen 500 days of summer (Mrs M's favourite film) you'll know what game we played a lot.
I used to doodle all sorts and after finding out my sketchbook the weekend for the post i wrote on Sunday i thought it would be nice to write a post about it. It'll be nice for the boys to look back on and see that we have been this happy from the start. Plus it gives them chance to ask questions, like what does 'Birdnest hair' mean. We're a random pair at times and some people have no idea what were talking about when their with us, We spend a lot of time together, she's my best friend and we're a finely tuned machine.
There are quite a lot of funny scenarios that happened in the early days usually orchestrated by that crazy woman of mine so Opeie, Seth if your reading this and your a little older be sure to ask me about an inappropriate email your mom sent to my works head office that was really quite funny and yes Mrs M if your reading this hang that head in shame haha.
Seeing all the little sketches again has made me realise that i need to start a new one. So i will be purchasing one soon (unless Mrs M would like to get me a little on for my birthday next week?). Although a lot of the sketches seem a little funny to me now at the time these doodles were important and were a visual diary of the early days of our relationship.
I drew in the book until we found out Opeie was on his way and then my visual diary took a back seat for the daily pregnancy diary that i kept for the entire pregnancy. I never would have done these sorts of things before which just shows me that right here and now is exactly where i am meant to be. i have a beautiful fiance and two amazing boys that blow me away everyday. Ive been smitten since the day i met Mrs M and and am eternally greatful for that chance meeting.

COP24, the two-week 24th conference of the parties of the United Nations Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC), started on Sunday in Katowice, Poland, with a special focus on carbon neutrality and gender equality. The world is gathering to define how the 2015 Paris Agreement will be implemented and moved forward.
Under the agreement, all countries have committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit the global average rise in temperature to well below 2°C, and as close as possible to 1.5°C.
This 24th COP will be hosting over 28,000 people and well over 100 events will highlight action in transport, water, land-use, energy, the fashion industry, to name a few, representing the wide spectrum of climate action.
One of this guests is Alexander Simader, Alumnus of the MSc Renewable Energy in Central and Eastern Europe. He will be part of the interactive expert discussion on Fostering Resilience in Urban and Rural Settings - Perspectives on Health, Communication and Implementation, organized by the CCCA (Climate Change Center Austria).

EIK LYKKE NIELSENAarhus UniversityEik Lykke Nielsen is studying for anMSc in architectural engineeringspecialising in integrated energy andlighting design, and plans tofinalise his thesis project, onlighting conditions' impacton productivity, in 2017.
He and Pernille Krieger
presented his bachelor's
thesis on lighting design
for independent living
of elderly citizens at the
PLDC in Rome in 2015.
'There must be a respect
between all disciplines and
an understanding of how
they may contribute to one
another,' he says. 'Of course,
it should include both a creative and
open mind, while at the same time
being substantiated through careful
research and development.'
'Lighting design should,
in my opinion, not be
considered an individual
part of the building design,
but rather as a part of an
integrated design process'
Idea Design
In 2013, Vasiliki Malakasi moved
from a senior lighting designer
role at Arup to establish her own
independent consultancy in London,
Idea Design, which offers lighting
design, architectural and project
management services. She graduated
from Glasgow School of Art in
2004 and has practised as an
architect in Greece since 2005.
She completed the Bartlett's
MSc light and lighting course
at UCL in 2006, and was
shortlisted for the SLL Young
Lighter of the Year Awards in
2009 for research on urban
lighting patterns on Glasgow's
riverfront. She is the lighting
advisor for a National Trust
foundation and on the IALD
Membership Committee.

'Lighting is the key
ingredient of night-time
architecture. It goes
beyond specific interior
and exterior applications;
it should address the
urban fabric as a whole'
Rachael Nicholls recently returned
to the UK having spent two years
living and working in Australia for
Point of View (with whom she did
the scheme below). She is currently
a senior designer at DPA's Oxford
office. She was 2013 SLL Young
Lighter of the Year. 'I was fortunate
to work with talented designers
who were keen to teach me, and
always encouraged me to seek out
opportunities for myself,' she says.
She adds that social media have been
instrumental in the development of
her career, 'something which I think is
symptomatic of my generation. One of
my favourite things about the lighting
industry is the people and how they
are always willing to help those
entering the profession.'
'My approach
is constantly
evolving but always
responsive. I love
using drama at a
macro scale but
I also enjoy the
accuracy of subtle
architectural details'

This past month has seen some reality checks when it comes to the ongoing fight to endure the battle with cancer. On Sept. 12, I lost my uncle that raised me when my father and mother had their own challenges. Ironically, he was my father's identical twin and just like twins, he died from the same cancer that took my father 5 years ago.
The funeral was both a reunion and one of the more difficult emotional times of my life. But as a family, we made it through.
Once back in Hawaii and looking to return some normal routine of family life, training for endurance events and work, I was slapped with another reality check. My radiation therapy to my face 5 years ago had caused some damage to the nerve in a tooth. These things happen despite everyone best efforts. I'm surprised it took so long to present. So, I had a wonderful root canal performed to take care of the never ending side effects of the treatment.
I almost forgot the topical chemo for basal cell and many stitches from a little cyst on my back. These didn't slow me down although they did keep me from swimming for a while. I didn't want to be easy shark bait.
So, as I continue to look for the normalcy in life, I'm once again reminded of the never ending battle. Last week, I awoke to a chubby upper lip. I guess if I wanted to look like one of the reality TV stars with their big lips, I would have been pleased. On the contrary, I knew there was something up. Now, the swelling is into my cheeks, upper and lower lips and eye lids. I look so cute. It's likely lymphedema due once again to the life long side effects from my treatment. My system was damaged permanently, so this is what I must manage. I'm working to isolate the trigger which is eluding us at the moment. But, I do look rather interesting.
So, one would assume that these events would allow for a lull in my attitude. Actually, just the opposite. I feel better than ever and more motivated that ever. Date nights with my wife, beach time with the boys, camping with my older son and training for long hours smelling the lilikoi, mountain apples and white ginger along the lovely Hawaiian trails that always brings a smile to my heart. With life we can either succumb to the events that we are faced with, or continue to live the journey. It may not always be pleasant, but that's life. Live while there is life to live, and save the complaining for when the living is done. Because of these challenges, I go out of my way to help others, especially those that can actually help themselves. Sounds strange, but in a circular logic, I am showing them that because of my challenges, I am still able to do more than you without complaining and with a smile. What's your excuse? I can't find one.Leave a comment

A J&L Pogonotrophics Original.
The bottle's label says it best, "Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal skin softening stuff to put on your junk to keep you fresh between showers." Better than powder for keeping odors away, prevent chaffing and prevent jock-itch. It also doesn't cake or clog pores like a powder will. Apply lightly in your nether regions and inner thigh after showering. It won't stop the sweat, but it will stop the damage to your skin from sweating as well as keep you smelling good. Junk Oil is scented lightly with bergamot & lavender essential oils to be pleasant but not intrusive.
Junk Oil™ also makes a great massage oil or personal lubricant. We won't go into details on how to use it for either of those purposes as we trust you can figure it out on your own.

Blizzard Buffalo, known as Frozen Buffalio (フローズン・バッファリオ Furōzun Baffario) in Japan, is a bison-based Maverick in Mega Man X3. In reality, though, he's really a peace-loving artist, even with the Maverick Virus. So he is (for all intents and purposes) another innocent victim of the Maverick Wars. His original occupation was as an ice sculptor for a ski resort.
Like Flame Mammoth before him, his room is much larger, requiring X to damage him while he's onscreen. When his health is depleted by 50%, Blizzard Buffalo shoots a very large ice beam that will freeze X if it connects.
Blizzard Buffalo's attack patterns and boss fight strategy is similar to fighting Tunnel Rhino.
However, there is a glitch in which you can defeat him easily.[1] Here are the basic steps:
1. At the beginning, let him start ramming towards X. Wall Kick over him before he hits X (X should be facing towards his back now).
2. When he turns around, don't move around; just jump. He'll try to ram away from X.
3. Repeat Step 2 to be free to shoot as much as needed.
Powers & Abilities
- Charge (突進) - Blizzard Buffalo's main form of attack. There are two versions of this move:
- Blizzard Buffalo normally skates across the room using the rocket boosters on his back as propulsion, ramming the walls which would cause X to fall to the ground, or X himself if he does not get out of the way.
- When X gets too close, Blizzard Buffalo uses his horns to grab X and slam him at the wall.
- Ice Bullet (氷弾) - Blizzard Buffalo throws non lethal ice spikes on the ground and on the wall when he's not on the screen. X can normally shoot at these.
- Freezing Beam (冷凍ビーム) - Blizzard Buffalo shoots a massive beam of ice that freezes X in his path. It doesn't cause damage, but he follows with his Charge move to ram into X.

Rockman X
In the Rockman X3 manga, during his Maverick rampage at the start of the chapter, he had been battling X and overpowering him with his attacks. When he was about to skewer the Maverick Hunter with his horns, he was immediately stopped by a human boy named Toshihiko, who threw himself in front of the charging Buffalo, causing him to halt and suddenly grab at his own head in agony. Despite X was about to take aim, Toshihiko insisted he stop and then took him to see a smiling snowman up in the mountains near the town Buffalo had been attacking. The boy explained that the snowman is something Buffalo helped him with; in a flashback, Toshihiko had made the snowman on his own but didn't like its sad expression because it reminded him that he made it alone, unlike the other kids. He was about to punch it in anger when Buffalo stopped him and simply changed the expression to a smile for him, which made Toshihiko happy that he had a friend help him. From that point, they ended up being very close...until Buffalo's horns caused him to go Maverick (they were what allowed Doppler to make him go crazy without him knowing) and start rampaging wildly, leading up to the present. Even though Buffalo froze the entire town in ice and endangered innocent lives, Toshihiko never lost faith in his new friend. After a violent and drawn out battle with X, which caused both his horns to be removed, Buffalo realized what he had done and wanted the Maverick Hunter to end his life, feeling he could never atone for his crimes. However, X intentionally missed and put a hole through the wall behind them instead, which allowed Buffalo to see that, just below, Toshihiko had been creating snowmen one after another the entire time so that he could reach out to his heart the way the Reploid had done for him earlier. The chapter ends with Buffalo and Toshihiko being together again, with X stating that Reploids can indeed understand humans because like humans, they have hearts.
He later joins the Maverick Hunters alongside Blast Hornet, Neon Tiger, and Tunnel Rhino, in which he assisted X and Zero in battle against Bit and Byte.
In the Rockman X4 manga, he fought alongside X against Frost Walrus, but he ended up sacrificing his life to save X. The sight of his destroyed body having been impaled on one of Walrus's Frost Towers drove X to seek vengeance.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)
The body of Blizzard Buffalo was seen frozen in Sigma's arctic base in Sonic Universe #76. Sigma later revived Blizzard Buffalo and dozens of other Mavericks in order to form an army to plant his Unity Engines and conquer all worlds. In Sonic Universe #78, Blizzard Buffalo went to the world of Street Fighter, where he attempts to set an Unity Engine in Thailand but is destroyed by M. Bison, the latter also learning about Sigma's plans for his world after interrogating the Maverick.
- In Mega Man X4, he makes an appearance at the very start of Frost Walrus's stage, frozen over in the background.
- In the CD versions of Mega Man X3, Blizzard Buffalo's name is misspelled as "BILZZARD BUFFALO" in his introductory cutscene, causing many fans to call him that as a joke.
- Blizzard Buffalo is one of the six Mavericks to survive and reform in the X3 chapters of the Rockman X manga, and the only one to have a major role in the X4 chapters.
- His stage is normally frozen over. However, if you defeat Volt Catfish before entering Buffalo's stage, the lights return and melt the ice, making the stage less slippery.
- Blizzard Buffalo is one of only five ice-themed robots who create ice sculptures. The other four are Chill Penguin, Frost Man, Cold Man, and Fenri Lunaedge. Additionally, he and Chill Penguin are the only ones from the Mega Man X series to have this talent.
