Modern network architecture – The best computer
"What's the best computer?"
In return I've just replied, "What is it that you need it to do?"
Normally that's pretty simple, but suddenly the world has changed. I was surprised that laptops are cheaper and more powerful than I ever remember them being. But is a laptop the right choice?
Hewlet Packard and Dell computer client computer income has dropped 11% and 8% last quarter according to bleu shift media. I was listening to a report on NPR regarding laptops sales. Apparently consumer tablets have outpaced consumer laptop spending. The prediction is that this is the last business accounting life cycle before the tablet follows suit in the business world.
I finally decided on a laptop. After working with Microsoft on the multi-tenant version of Lync I think that with Windows 8 I may be able to let go of my cell phone if I wait to purchase the tablet. I have already turned off my rack of servers in my garage. I migrated to BPOS and now to 365. I'm starting to use SharePoint for my fileserver requirements and Exchange for my email.
So really what do I really need for the future? Let's see, office suite, Email, Visio, Project… so what do I really need that's not possible in the cloud? The most intense client software that I run now are my gaming applications. I ended up buying a laptop, but I'm imagining that with hosted unified communications, hosted exchange, hosted SharePoint, hosted CRM… what more do I need? Well of course there are a few things, but I imagine they'll be in the cloud soon as well. What do you think, where do you think modern network architecture

I've just been going through a pile of papers belonging to my late mother, and amongst them I found a poem about Loughmourne, an area comprised of many farms and a lough (loch) just a couple of miles north of my old home town Carrickfergus in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. My parents separated in 1979 and then divorced in the early 1980s, and a few years later my mum had a short term relationship with a gentleman from a farm in the area, which is how I assume she came into ownership of the poem. During this period I remember going up to her partner's farmhouse with her one night as a young teenager, and spending a magical winter's evening seated beside a roaring turf fire, as a blizzard hit outside - it's the only time I've ever been to Loughmourne, but the experience still remains very vivid in my memory.
There's no village at Loughmourne, but there is a lough, about 57 hectares in size and filled with brown trout. There's also a church in the area that bears the name, said to have been founded by exiled Scottish descendants of Covenanters in 1784 (see www.loughmourne.org/history.html). As for any village that may once have existed there... well that's where the poem comes in!
Where the lough now stands there was certainly once a village many centuries ago - the remains of several crannogs have been found there (see www.culturenorthernireland.org/article/1794/still-waters-run-deep-at-loughmourne) - but it's said that a visiting peddlar, from whom nobody would buy matches, cursed the village the following morning, sending the place to a watery doom.
It's almost Hallowe'en - enjoy!
'Twas nightfall and the clock had struck
The solemn hour of rest;
There lay the infant still asleep
Upon its mother's breast;
The weary peasant free from toil
Upon his bed was laid;
The lover sought the silent hour
To talk love to his maid.
'Twas in a village that lay law
Within a valley green;
Encircled round by verdant hills,
This village looked serene.
'Twas on that night a wanderer passed
Through it with weary feet;
Within its walls he shelter sought,
No shelter could he meet.
The poor ones there no pity showed,
The wealthy scoffed with scorn,
But pride and vanity were doomed
To die before the morn.
'Ye know not what to do, proud men,'
The wanderer this did say;
'Omnipotence shall avenge the just
Before the break of day'.
'Ye heavens give power, O God give strength,
To the powers on earth below:
Let the village sink with a fearful shake
And o'er its waters flow.'
With one fearful road and one wild convulse
The hills and dales did shake;
One hour more and that village lay
A calm and peaceful lake.
Then view it now as its waters flow
To a thriving distant town,
And with reverence think on the scenes below,
For that spot is sacred ground.
And the legend says that the curse was this
'A toon the night and a Loch the morn'.
It has claimed that name to the present day,
It still is called Loughmourne.

It is a notorious accident black spot among hikers and scramblers. Swirral Edge beginning at Red Tarn is a shorter route which also involves scrambling and is also another accident black spot amongst hikers and scramblers making it just as dangerous as Striding Edge.

Cyprus Flake Salt
Kosher Certified
- Origin: Cyprus
Extraction Method
Naturally evaporated sea salt
Suggested Use
Food and cosmetic use
A true Mediterranean delight, our Cyprus Flake salt is known for its dazzling and distinctive pyramid shape, light texture and mild taste. The unique pyramid shape of the Cyprus Flake salt is created through the process of solar evaporation of sea water where the water is channeled into a chain of shallow ponds or lagoons and then into large pans where the water is gradually heated, forming the timeless pyramid shapes of the salt. The process continues until the salt reaches 3% humidity, and can take up to two years to complete. This gourmet flake salt is ideal for use in cooking, baking, and as a garnishing salt for fish and vegetable dishes.
Our bottled gourmet culinary salts are packaged in clear glass bottles with a shaker top that also features a convenient pour and measuring spout. 1 lb. and 5 lb. sizes are packaged in resealable plastic bags.

It doesn't say anywhere in that link you provided that 48 hours in an acceptable standard from a consumer point of view, nor does it mean consumers should not be compensated if said delays cause fees to be incurred.
It's a pretty unfair situation for the consumer.
If you look at my usage breakdown, Yes I used about 40% of my data (1gb) in one day, which brought me over my limit. But I should have received atleast a 50% usage warning when I used 50% 2 days prior.
This isn't a situation where I just used my entire allowance all at once. I used part of it, then days later used the rest. Never got any warnings until it was all used.
They are legally obliged to tell you that their usage alert system doesn't work, rather than have a working alert system.
It sounds like you are on such a small plan, you should go prepaid, or to an Optus reseller, like Vaya, OVO, Spintel.
I apologise that we haven't been able to provide the answer you're after. Mods on the forum can only really use the information provided, most of which is documented online. The full details about usage alerts are available here → Mobile Phone Shared Data Usage Alerts: FAQs.
Delays are caused by system processing. Improving this requires complete migration from the old system, to a new one, which as you can imagine is a lot of mobile numbers. This is something Optus have been working on for quite some time, but it is still going to take a while to be tested and rolled out completely.
Excess data disputes can be assessed on a case by case basis. I will message you privately to organise this.
It's definitely an automatic system issue, I will try to get clarification on your original comment exactly.
Can I grab your account details to check the excess data issue please? I'll need the phone number, your full name and DOB.
Just a quick update here:
My usage for this current month, has been sitting at 512mb used out of 1gb used for the last 2 days. No usage alert for 50% usage has been sent to my phone yet again.
At least it is showing on the optus app, but you see my dilemma here right?
I'm not getting the usage alerts optus is required to send me by contract.
512MB is spot on half 1GB, if a GB = 1024MB
I would push it a few more MB
Yep its gone a bit above that now (520). still no text.
I guess I'll wait up to 48 hours and see when it comes (if it comes this time).
I highly doubt it will, because I haven't received it once, regardless of there being a number of days between when I went from 50% to 100%
Have you fiddled with the alerts in the settings section in your account? It seems to be configurable for small accounts, but is useless for large ones. I touched mine, and I get alerts at 1.5GB, for my 100GB account.
Accounts have crashed for the moment.
Make sure you get it right first time, because I think it blows up after that, and the staff don't know what you are talking about, so you have to kill the email and phone number.
No, and the ACCC made rules forcing ISP's to make it so text alerts for 50%, 80% and 100% are NOT opt in, and are automatically part of the set-up from the start.
So no I have not fiddled with my settings.
It should be working as is.

"Theistic Satanism" is a Farce!
© 2012 C.E. by L. Hernandez
There seems to be a new crop of retards on the internet who think there could actually be such a thing as legitimate "Theistic Satanism." The truth is that the terms "Theistic" and "Satanism" are diametrically opposed. Theism is a belief in the spiritual, which makes it Right Hand Path regardless of practitioners' intent. Satanism, by it's very nature, is the rejection of all things spiritual and the exaltation of the carnal, material and mundane, which makes it truly Left Hand Path.
Before Satanism was defined and codified as a legitimate religion in 1966 by Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan, there simply was no such thing as religious Satanism. Up until that time, "Satanist" was term thrown at people as slander; it was purely derogatory. A fantastic in-depth study of this is H.T.F. Rhodes' The Satanic Mass, which was published in the 1950s–long enough before the formation of the Church of Satan in the following decade, so the reader knows there is no bias involved.
All of today's wanna-be "Theistic" groups (nothing more than devil worshipers still playing the Christian game, just on the other team), whom deride the Church of Satan while riding its coattails, are thus, hypocrites. Many of said groups claim old lineage which can never be academically traced any further than Horror movies and the Christian media's unfounded paranoia. The Satanic Panic of the 1980s is largely responsible for inadvertently creating these copycat fakes as a backlash.
There are some groups who will attempt to deny the above, pointing to the Freemasons, Illuminati, etc., as their lineage. These people are victims of a fraud exposed over a century ago that they and those like them keep perpetuating: the Leo Taxil hoax. That is the single point of origin for every single myth attempting to link Freemasonry to the Illuminati and Satanism—and Leo Taxil himself admitted he made it all up in a public confession.
In the 1980s many who came out as "victims" of Satanic Ritual Abuse (all later proven frauds) used the old Taxil stories as inspiration for their own made-up worldwide Satanic conspiracy stories—all 100% fake! This strengthened the paranoid public's belief in that kind of garbage and is the real root where the problem of so-called Theistic Satanism (devil worship) began.
So what of so-called "Theistic Satanists" who claim that the deity they revere is not the Christian devil? There are those who either practice or rip-off Demonolotry and Ceremonial Magic from the Lemegeton (a.k.a., the Lesser Key of Solomon). Both practices involve the calling up of "demons" to work one's will, answer questions, or what have you. Both also involve summoning said demons using the names of YHVH/Tetragrammaton/Jehovah, as well as the casting of protective circles. Neither of these involves the veneration of Satanic principles, but only those ideas rooted in Jewish mysticism and Christian ideology. Again, this is Theism, thus cannot be called Satanism, and was never intended to be equated with Satanism.
The truth of the matter is that calling oneself a Theistic Satanist is almost the exact equivalent to calling oneself a Christian Atheist—the words just don't work together and never will.
This is why Theistic Satanism does not, and cannot, exist. There is Satanism and there is Christian devil worship, and the two have nothing in common that the latter didn't steal from the former.
There are no branches of Satanism. There is no legitimate thing one can call "Theistic Satanism." There is only Satanism, as defined in The Satanic Bible, by Anton Szandor LaVey. The rest is a hodge-podge of garbage believed by people who feel a need to believe in deity (which is no different than Christianity) oftentimes emotionally influenced by the media in various forms, such as the myths and lies spread in the 1980s-'90s during the Satanic Panic.
Satanism is a rejection of all things theistic. Satanism is not ecumenical nor egalitarian. Satanism does not need to be accepting of anyone else's beliefs, and for one to think the Church of Satan would benefit by being a part of any type of broader "Satanic Community" is the height of stupidity. Satanism is the earthly individual over the spiritually-minded collective—it is inherently diametrically opposed to theism at its very core, otherwise it would not be any different than any other deity-adoring religion.
A black sheep is still a sheep.
That said, there is also no such thing as "LaVeyan Satanism." When Anton LaVey founded Satanism, he did not name it "LaVeyan," but simply "Satanism." There is only one thing: Satanism vs. Theism—in all its forms.

The End
Well, there it is. I'm shifting to a shiny new blog called Upside Down Under, and found at http://insideoutupsidedownunder.blogspot.com/
Well, there it is. I'm shifting to a shiny new blog called Upside Down Under, and found at http://insideoutupsidedownunder.blogspot.com/
Posted by Benjamin Ady at 9:42 PM 3 comments Links to this post
I've been contemplating starting a new blog--this one feels like it's gotten a bit oldish. I've changed a lot since I started it. Plus I've just moved to a new city on a new continent, so it feels like an excellent time to start a new blog.
After a couple days of contemplation, I thought Upside Down Under might be a night name for the blog. Unfortunately, someone already used that name for a blogspot blog, on which they posted one post back in 2005 and were never heard from nor seen again. What to do, what to do?
Learn how to use a whole new blogging service? Grumble grumble.
Put a dash in the name? So inelegant.
Actually buy the domain name, and then *pay* for blog hosting service, or do a bunch of research to figure out how to do it for free. More grumble.
Things I've noticed:
I no longer have a sense for the where the sun should set. Nor the proper locations of any constellations. I realized I had a very layered map of Seattle and Western Washington and all of Washington in my head, and I have this relatively bald two dimensional one layer missing-big-chunks map of Melbourne in my head. But it's growing. I'm constantly noticing things I simply don't know, which I used to know.
I'm *pretty* sure the sun is setting south of west. That makes a certain sense, since the sun sets north of west in the summer time in Seattle, so .... it being summertime here .... hmmmmmm.
Christmas at summer solstice is simply wrong on multiple axes. Don't get me started. It's silly on it's face. Christmas is meant to be the winter solstice celebration borrowed/appropriated by the Christian church. Hence lots of lights (because it's dark) etc. etc. etc. The Europeans who first came here should have figured this out and celebrated Christmas in July, at the winter solstice, like sensible people.
I'm barely beginning to get a sense of where the traffic at intersections might be coming or going when I'm walking. Certainly nothing like enough confidence to jaywalk.
There is this *enormous* section of car sitting out there on my left when I'm driving, for which I have very little sense. There's not *enough* car sitting to my right, which leads to me hugging the left side of my lane. I mean *hugging*. The person in the passenger seat is left with a sense of being way too close to the left edge.
There is this little formula where the direction of the inequality sign is now reversed. In Meadowbrook, Seattle, Washington, USA, it went (number of people picking up litter)*(average amount of litter picked up per person) > (number of people littering)*(average amount of litter dropped per person). In Broadmeadows, (Melbourne) Victoria, Australia, the inequality sign is reversed. What this means is that in Meadowbrook, if I see litter, I pick it up, whereas in Broadmeadows, I generally don't bother--it seems to big a job to begin. Alas. I wonder if the direction of the inequality sign and the magnitude of the inequality is generally correlated with average income in the neighborhood? I hypothesize that it is. I also strongly suspect that my hypothesis would turn out to be incorrect, if we researched it.
It's very nice that people here speak English. I suspect this would be far harder if they didn't. Nevertheless, it feels pretty difficult. I have no sense of AFL or cricket, although I'm beginning to gain one. It's harder, somehow, to eschew professional sports from the outside than it is from the inside.
It's kilometers and liters and degrees Centigrade here. These are far more elegant and sensible than the silly American systems. In spite of that, I have little sense of them. No one can tell me what the equivalent of the American term "mileage" is here. "Kilometerage" doesn't seem to work at all. I did see an add for a car that boasted X kilometers per 100 liters. What does that *mean*? I have to work it out, which is the work of a moment, thank the FSM, but I didn't have to work it out before.
Apartments and houses are rented by the *week* here. I have to work that out too.
Stage 4 water restrictions are in place. The reservoirs are 38% full. People are aware of this, and the washing machine has a hose attached to it for the grey water to run outside to the garden. I keep catching myself with water running in the sink as I clean, directly into the sink rather than into the basin which sits in the sink to catch the water so it can then be carried out to the garden. This is going to take some getting used to.
Okay, 'nuff for now. If you have any ideas on the new blog thing, let me know =)

I can think of at least ... well ... 2 people in Seattle I could call up and they would gladly join me for a beer later this evening.

For my international readers, today, November 26th, is a national holiday here in the U.S. called Thanksgiving. It's a day during which we do what we can to further our national epidemic of obesity. We're also meant to think about what we're thankful for. I wrote down some of my thoughts about what I'm thankful for on this holiday.
I want to express my gratitude, on this day, that I was born White--that I am part of the powerful majority rather than an oppressed minority, and thus that I can enjoy all the benefits of that status, such as never having gotten arrested, or having learned to speak and read and write in such a way that I can get high paying jobs and can propogate this power structure on to my children and my children's children. I'm thankful for my White Pilgrim Fathers, who celebrated the First Thanksgiving with their Pokanoket friends back in 1621--Pokanoket friends who sought them out for military alliance because they needed some help after so many of them had died from the smallpox which my White Pilgrim Fathers had brought to North America. I'm thankful that my White Pilgrim fathers won so decisively, a mere 55 years later, when they went to war with their Pokanoket former friends over the lands which these savages claimed my White Pilgrim Fathers were stealing. I'm thankful that there were 4 times as many deaths among the Pokanoket savages (whose fathers had been there to help make the first Thanksgiving possible) than there were among my White Pilgrim Fathers, a war proportionality which would only grow in our favor in the 350 years to come. I'm thankful for the way in which this war and other early wars against the merciless Indian Savages* helped form our identity as a nation where White People like me hold and exercise the power. I'm thankful that the end result is that now we white Americans are able to spend more than the rest of the world combined, some $650 billion annually, on armaments and military, and that following from this I am in the top 10% of wage earners in the world, and have never experienced hunger or homelessness or much of anything really unpleasant at all for a single day of my entire life. I'm thankful to be white, to be male, and to be at the top of the pack in a world where 1 billion (mostly non-White) people have no access to fresh water and 2 billion (mostly non-White) people live on $2 a day or less. I feel like shouting with joy and gratitude! Wooooooohooooooooot!
*Note: "merciless Indian savages" is a phrase which I have borrowed from that brilliant document my White Pilgrim Fathers authored--the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

I went to hear my seven year old daughter sing with the rest of her class at the school assembly today. She, and they, sang "Brothers and sisters all patriots, ready to answer the call, in service of our country, of our country. Honor and courage and sacrifice" The principle spoke about honoring the veterans who die to keep us free and bring peace.
Apparently is costs us (the human race, that is) some 1.2 trillion dollars per year to purchase weapons to keep us free and bring peace. Not to mention the cost in trauma to human beings.
Here's my question. Is Veterans Day to the arms industry as Christmas is to the retail industry?
"Do you think they will thank you for teaching them that war is glorious?" --Dr. Who

Did you know that the U.S. accounts for ~5 percent of the world's population, and ~21 percent of the world's GDP, but we account for ~57 percent of the world's arm's expenditures?
A metaphor for that: If you imagine the world is a village of 100 people, then 5 of them are Americans, and those 5 own 20% of the village's wealth, and they manufacture more bullets, tanks, warheads, bombs, fighter jets, bombers, etc. than the other 95 people in the village put together.

Someone please tell me that Janet Hook and her editor allowed this "misspelling" in her very first sentence on purpose, as some sort of super lame play on words. The Chicago Tribune is the 6th largest newspaper in the U.S.
With the struggle over healthcare entering an even tougher phase, President Obama has hit both a milestone and a speed bump in his duel pursuit of a major overhaul of the nation's medical system and a rebirth of progressivism in America.

why the president described today's shooting rampage as "a horrific outburst of violence", but he doesn't ongoingly describe this in similar terms.

Stuff I want for my birthday, which is on the 6th:
1. A space fountain (I don't want to own it, necessarily--just to be able to watch it in operation).
2. An easy/quick way to suddenly always be kind and gracious to my wife and children (and other people).
3. Better listening skills.
4. A deferred (or at least deferrable) acceptance to the Son-Rise child facilitator training program in Massachusetts.
5. For all these companies to quite suddenly go bankrupt (or correlationally, for the percent of the world's GDP spent on arms to drop quite suddenly from ~2% to ~0%). (Note: there are only ~4000 google results for "corellationally". Can you think of a word that only returns ~4000 google results?)
6. For these folks to get what they want.
7. This one is a secret.
8. A copy of my brother in law's new novel, preferably electronic (not only so I can read it, but also so someday I can say I was among the very first to ever read or even see it, back in the day).
9. My dad to miraculously get much healthier.
10. For people with whom I converse around here to stop mispronouncing "Melbourne" "Mel boorrrrn" and start pronouncing it "MEL bin" as it's meant to be pronounced.
If I have to choose just one, I'm going with 3.
I'm still working on pi in Roman numerals.

James Jackson writes: "Occultism feminism panthers Hollywood symbolism spelling it out for secret societies to brag about Bastet witches Mafdet cats witchcraft and other inferior pagan ideas…"
"The occult schools are trying to define what is hidden in religion an they are notorious for being fraudulent and lying for power and influence. There are countless contradicting occult societies and they are all inferior and their magic has failed to defeat me at martial arts for instance. One of many examples of them coming up short."
Inferior to what? One must place a set of ideals on a pedestal before you can begin to address those that are inferior. James goes on to say: "There is One God and through him I am over 100-0 in martial arts. Long ago people would prove their religion through wars. When the smoke cleared the 2 largest religions are Christianity and Islam. Now secret societies are manipulating people to destroy those 2 religions so that is how it ends. Masonry, rosicrucians, theosophy, wiccan ect ect greek mysteries, dinoysus, orpheus, platonic schools of thought and more. Philosophy and religion go hand and hand. Religion seeks to join or reconnect with what is spiritual. When you are doing all guess work it is meaningless, only TRUE prophets can define the relationship between God and man. "
Only TRUE prophets? You can imagine my skepticism with regard to self-awareness. Just seems to me that Mr. Jackson is getting a bit caught up here. It may spark an interesting discussion (or Not), It's led to a scheduled interview and using my… What did he call them? "You are a satanic feminist who dabbles in witchcraft, one look at your channel and pic one can tell that. What secret society of spiritual bottom feeders do you belong to? THe relationship is supposed to be with God not the devil. Prophets tell it better than anyone else ever has so the proof is in the pudding."
Moi, a Feminist? Supposed to be? Secret Society of Bottom Feeders? Well hey, sign me up! Not sure what this guy is trippin' on but if offered, I'd say "No thanks". Pride & Vanity, one of the Devil's Favorite sins… Honor? I'd be curious to learn how this fellow not only defines it but would see it in practice. Our discussion is scheduled for 9/25/15 6:30 EST. Any predictions on how it will turn out?
Update: here it goes!

I desided to see what I can get for a mortgage loan. Going around begging for a loan is not something I wanted to do or had time for, so I thought, "How can I do this?". After searching around on Google for mortgages after bankruptcy I stubbled upon LandingTree. They let the mortgage companies compete, so I don't have to beg. I put my info on the table and let them beg me to choose them. Sound like something I was looking for.
I signed up and filled in all my info, stated my situation and submitted it. By the end of the day I had three mortgage companies contact me and one really took on my case. He ran my info through their programs and worked hard to get me an exception on my bankruptcy. A couple of days later he called me with good news and bad news.
The good news is that he was able to get me an exception because my previous credit status was good and this was just this one situation in which I was unable to avoid bankruptcy.
The bad news is that they decided to give me a full year after the bankruptcy discharge before giving me a mortgage loan.
So next May I'll be getting a mortgage loan! This is awesome!

Though my family is of Irish decent, I grew up in Michigan. It is therefore exceptionally hard for me to praise anything from Ohio. I have to hand it to the National MS Society Ohio Valley Chapter though. They, along with Tier 1 Performance, have put together a new kind of learning tool for those of us with MS.
This pilot program was developed as a way to provide educational programs where and when the need arises. Their first program is Food For Thought: MS and Nutrition. Once you register for the program, you will receive an e-mail telling you that your registration is being processed. Once that's done, you will be sent another e-mail telling you are registered and how to use the system. The program is about 20 minutes long and can be accessed 24/7 from any computer between now and June 23, 2006. (Also, not to worry, they'll keep your e-mail information confidential and never share it with anyone.)
This writer spent about a half an hour going through the program in detail. While much of what's in the program seems to be common sense, it is also information that we don't think about very often.
It used to be that people with MS were told not to exercise. While the program does not go into great detail, it is good to see that the people at the NMSS (along with healthcare professionals) are finally promoting aerobic exercise as a healthy part of living with MS.
Once you have completed the program, make sure that you take the online survey. Those who put this learning tool together want to know what you think so they can improve their offerings.
I won't go as far as praising the entire Buckeye State, but I have to admit, this is a great way to learn for active (sometimes forgetful) people with MS.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

When your doctors tell you that more tests are needed before they can accurately diagnose your condition, you are most likely up for an MRI. This is a safe, painless testing that involves the use of magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of your body's internal organs.But why do you really need an MRI? There are several reasons.
When X-Ray, CAT Scan, or Ultrasound Isn't Enough
Most internal wounds and bone fractures in the body can be revealed through x-ray, CAT scan, or ultrasound. However, some irregularities require more detailed imaging to come up with better diagnosis and treatment recommendations. When these methods are insufficient, MRI is a more powerful option.
When an Infection or Disease Is Hard to Identify
There are a good number of infections and diseases that can be identified more precisely through MRI. While other methods can show basic features of tissues, MRI can detect other properties, consequently producing more information that can help with the diagnosis and treatment. Whether it's a growing tumor, an aneurism, or swollen coronary blood vessels, MRI can image them vividly.
When a Decision to Rule Out a Condition Has to Be Confirmed
No matter how adept your doctors are, they wouldn't give you recommendations purely out of guesswork. They have to make sure that all necessary tests have been performed, all options have been exhausted, and all data analyzed. Even when they intend to rule out certain conditions, they have to back their statement with sufficient proof, which is why they turn to the highest technology available—MRI.
There are various other reasons why having an MRI is important both for patients and for health care providers. This new technology offers a glimpse to a physical world that doctors are only beginning to understand. If you need MRI for you or your patient, turn to a reliable provider such as Glendale MRI.

'This inspiring story about realizing one's own worth in the Lord should be recommended to fans of Deanne Gist.'--CBA Market book reviews
"Gray's ardent fans will line up for this one."--Library Journal
Product Description
Overwhelmed by the responsibilities of running a ranch on her own, Laurel Tracey decides to hire a convict—a man who's just scary enough to take care of squatters and just desperate enough to agree to a one year post.
The years following the war have been hard on Laurel Tracey. Both her brother and her father died in battle, and her mother passed away shortly after receiving word of their demise. Laurel has been trying to run her two hundred acre ranch as best she can.
When she discovers that squatters have settled in her north pasture and have no intention of leaving, Laurel decides to use the last of her money to free a prisoner from the local jail. If she agrees to offer him room and board for one year, he will have to work for her to pay off his debt.
Former soldier Thomas Baker knows he's in trouble when he finds himself jailed because he couldn't pay a few fines. Laurel's offer might be his only ticket out. Though she's everything he ever dreamed of in a woman—sweet and tender-hearted, yet strong—he's determined to remain detached, work hard on her behalf, and count the days until he's free again.
But when cattle start dying and Laurel's life is threatened, Thomas realizes more than just his freedom is on the line. Laurel needs someone to believe in her and protect her property. And it isn't long before Laurel realizes that Thomas Baker is far more than just a former soldier. He's a trustworthy hero, and he needs more than just his freedom—he needs her love and care too.

Egypt journalist detained in public loo, 'beaten' by police at Edinburgh Airport
At 4pm on Thursday 14 December Egyptian journalist AbdulRahman Ezz was prevented from boarding his flight to France from Edinburgh Airport where he intended to cover the yellow vest demonstrations in Paris. Waiting for him at the door of the plane was a policeman wearing civilian uniform who asked for a brief word before he continued to board. "Have I done something wrong?" he asked. Ezz had been through a similar ordeal last year when he was detained on a flight from Istanbul for six hours. His camera, phone and computer were confiscated and not returned to him for a week. "It's no problem," replied the policeman, leading him aside and gesturing towards another woman. "Myself and my colleague just have some questions, come to this room." He went on to inform Ezz that the interview would be held under the Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act Law 2000, which has been described by advocacy group Liberty as a broad and intrusive power to stop individuals at airports without even suspecting the person has been involved in terrorism.

Redbus Bingo Review
Deposit £10 Play With £30
Redbus Bingo
Redbus Bingo, a London bus themed brand, is a sister site of Tasty, Wink and Posh. It was one of the original members of the Joy Of Bingo network and operated on the Dragonfish platform. Redbus, along with it's sister sites, were taken over by 888 a few years back and since then it's not been the most comfortable of rides.
When it first launched, Redbus Bingo used to offer players a chance to get up to £2000 in bonus money via a scratched. This has now changed to the more standard deposit £10 for £35 to play (250% deposit bonus). The bonus is awarded on deposits of between £5 and £100 and there's a x2 wagering term in place. New players can also jump in for 3 days of free bingo with no deposit needed!
Play Free Bingo
Redbus used to be a "go to" place for free bingo and boasted a £100 free cash prize game every evening at 9.15pm. Again this has changed but the site still offers plenty of freebies for depositing players. These include a £250 Sunday Mobile game, £1000 game every Monday and The 10 Minute Stop where you can play for small prizes at selected times during the day. All Redbus Bingo's free games can be found under the "Free Ride Tab" via the lobby.
As well as free bingo you'll find 90 ball, 75 ball pattern and 75 ball 5 Line Bingo rooms. There are progressive jackpots too as well as all the usual slots. Among the titles to look out for are Jackspot, Millionaire Genie, Fluffy Favourites and Imperial Destiny. Among the big bingo games are £150 Monday Mania, £30 Rush Hour and £1500 Bingo Payday! There's also The Daily Unwind Room which has recently been opened and offers exciting games from 4pm each day.
Reload Bonus
Promotions wise things have also changed at Redbus! They did used to run a lot of exclusives, but these days all their big games and offers are networked with Tasty, Posh and Bingo Street. The values are less too and the days of the JoyPot are well and truly behind us. Social media unfortunately has also left the Redbus journey, which is disappointing. In 2015 they did trial a My Redbus Loyalty Plan but we're not sure if that's still running. On the plus side depositors can still collect a bonus when funding their accounts.
Redbus Bingo sadly has fallen into the shadows cast by it's bigger sisters of Wink and 888 Ladies. Considering back in the day there were TV ads and loads of exclusives offered to Redbus players, it's disappointing to have essentially "just another" Dragonfish powered site. Perhaps 2017 will be the year when we see Redbus overhauled and back in action to take bingo players on magical mystery tour?
That said, there's no reason not to play here. It offers free games, a great selection of bingo and slots, plus it's still one of a few Dragonfish powered brands that offers reload bonuses.

Here's an axiom for our times: If it appears in a Super Bowl commercial, it has entered the popular culture.
During last week's Super Bowl 51, Ford aired a spot touting itself as a mobility company providing not just cars but other transportation products and services, including bike sharing and self-driving cars. A short clip near the end of the ad showed a stylish couple cruising down the highway in a car without a visible steering wheel. (Note to Tom Brady: The car's tires appeared to be fully inflated.)
In the fierce competition for Super Bowl ad attention, the Ford spot didn't get much, but for those of us closely watching the automated car phenomenon, it was significant. It was the first time, to my knowledge, that a fully self-driving car was depicted in a car (sorry, mobility) commercial.
This image, which appeared on screen for all of a couple of seconds, is important for what wasn't depicted. It did not show the driver engaged with piloting the vehicle in any way. And that's important because there is an interesting debate just getting started about how far and how fast driverless technology should go.
At the Mayor's Innovation Project winter meeting in January, I heard a presentation from Robin Chase, a founder of Zipcar and other startups. She presented utopian and dystopian visions of a driverless future, and her message was that cities needed to use their policy-making skills to create the positive outcome. She has summarized the big questions related to the technology in a video.
But probably her most challenging idea was that a transitional period, in which elements of automation are dribbled out one by one, is actually a dangerous scenario. Her argument is that slow, muddled human interventions will only make things more dangerous. Instead, she believes that manufacturers should skip the middle stages altogether and build totally self-driving vehicles. No steering wheels. The Ford commercial tends to depict that kind of future.
Now that automated vehicles have broken through to Super Bowl advertising it's only a matter of time before they start appearing on our streets. As a matter of fact, the UW-Madison engineering department will soon be acquiring some automated shuttles with plans to test them, eventually, on campus and on certain city streets.
The city of Madison may want to try to get ahead of the curve here. Questions that need consideration include the impact on city revenues from parking lots and ramps and from parking tickets and other kinds of traffic citations; impacts on public transportation; interactions with people while walking or biking; changes in traffic control devices; and potential for redevelopment of parking lots and structures. And that's just for starters.
Madison's answer to most thorny questions is to form a committee. Committees are what we do. They are who we are. Sometimes, I think we go a little too far in our proliferation of committees, but not in this case.
The self-driving vehicle is such a profoundly disruptive technology with so many implications that it deserves thoughtful consideration from a lot of different perspectives. Even more importantly, the city needs to figure out where the decision points are so that the utopian promise of a driverless future is realized instead of the dystopian nightmare.
Cars can already drive themselves, but when it comes to how they might shape our city we should not give up control of the steering wheel.
