FICTIONAL REPORT: 22nd May 2006. Mt Lawley, Perth. Three witnesses.
Filmed by the man who runs this website (and the inspiration that got me into all this). Very early morning, looking East, a diamond shaped light moved backwards and forwards across the sky for six minutes (plus the two minutes it took for me to get the camera out.) Half an hour earlier I'd seen another very bright light in this area (but without my glasses on.)
REALITY: This is a genuine UFO, shot from my kitchen window. The light moved steadily across the sky, and looked a little like a very-high aeroplane contrail. At times it appears to move backwards, but this may be an artefact of the camera's built-in stabiliser. Half an hour earlier, I really had seen another very bright light, but without my glasses on...

The Tauren & The Goblin #14.5: Chronicle II… Two.
Nick and Katie are back and dive right into the awesomeness that is Chronicle II. The talk about Draenor, the orc clans, their relationships, and how many of them that aren't featured in WoW are call backs to the earlier games. They talk about the convenience of Aggramar showing up just long enough to set Draenor on its path through history, and then getting summoned off to die. Nick also shares the story of why the Dragonmaw are called the Dragonmaw despite there not being Dragons on Draenor. They try to ponder some of the changes with Alternate Draenor, such as Ga'nar dying eleven years before the Dark Portal instead of at the time of the portal itself (he should have been dead on AU Draenor, but he wasn't).
They talk about Medivh, and Nick theorizes that the way Medivh reacted to the impending Legion invasion while having Sargeras possessing him is similar to how Wrathion has been preparing for this Legion invasion. They also talk about how the history of Karazhan explains much of the initial Karazhan raid, especially with Aegwynn bringing a blue dragon there. They also talk about Orgrim being a bad ass, and how Blizzard was able to sort-of fit both endings to Warcraft I into the story by having the orcs attack Stormwind twice. Katie then fawns over Deathwing's manipulations in the first war and his role in the second. Nick appreciates how parts of the second war were just backstory for the various units used in the game.
They share their disappointment that the book ended just as Draenor is shattered, and everyone is looking forward to Chronicle III next year. Have you bought your copy yet? If not, GO GET IT NOW!!! All this and more on a special episode of The Tauren and the Goblin!

Read my friend Megan's blog.
May we all remember to count our blessings and name them one by one on this day when so many lost so much and yet continue to persevere.
"Most girls would listen to one thing I say and would think I'm a total jerk."
A friend of mine told me this today in the course of telling me why he thinks I'm cool. He's not wrong–he's obnoxious and gives me crap EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I see him. It's okay, though. It's part of his charm.
But "tough" is how he described me–and tough is what apparently made him decide to be my friend.
I don't get it.
I'm not tough.
Why don't people get this?
Tough is my mom. Tough is someone rising above amazingly terrible circumstances and coming out of it more cheerful and full of hope than ever. Tough is being able to face a task like a dissertation and not cower with fear before it. Tough is being able to speak out loud, even to yourself, what you really want in the deepest and tiniest corner of your heart, the ridiculous dreams that even you don't want to admit to yourself.
Tough is not me.
I just don't see it.
So, does anybody have any idea why this wireless router thing is such a big fat pain in my big fat…toe? My gosh. It freaks out and freezes up daily. I gotta go and power it down, talk lovingly to it, convince it that it does, in fact, have the will to live, and then fire the sucka back up again.
Who needs THAT?
My gosh.
My only thought is this–could it possibly be a conflict between my webstar cable modem, which was made for a mac, and my Linksys wireless router, which only works with Windows? That's the only thing that I can think of. It doesn't make any sense.
Not everyone could be going through this. It's just not possible.
Any ideas? Please? I'm begging you before I call up Cox Cable and start begging THEM to answer my pleas.
I'm glad this weekend is over. I'm glad that the week is beginning.
Weird, right?
But, see, this week brings the settling down into a routine, the getting to work, the realizing that life is not a sprint but a marathon.
I have been sprinting too much lately, and I have the emotional shin splints to prove it.
I'm so tired. And I need a hug–not the regular everyday hug, but the bear hugs from the people who know all your faulty facets and still want to be around you anyway, the hugs that make everything better because it's clear that that person LOVES you more than you know.
Complaint over.
Bring on Monday. And a nap.
I have decided something.
For some reason, I am meant to learn the lesson of assuming the best about people.
Why have I decided this?
Because at least three times in the last 24 hours, I have been confronted by what could be very offensive comments or behaviors…although I don't think that they were intended as such.
So, I could choose to be offended or I could choose to assume that they were not intended as such. Strangely, that's a difficult thing to do. I'm not sure why. I mean, don't we all want people to assume that we mean only the best things? Don't we desperately want those around us to overlook the idiotic comments that came out of our mouths–the things that come out wrong, the times when we say exactly the wrong thing even when we had that brief shining moment to say something great–and instead remember that we love them and appreciate them and wish them well?
So why, then, is it so hard to do that when people do it to us?
It's my life lesson this week. I just know it is. Learning to let go and not let what other people do or say affect me. It's a weird thing. It's a GOOD thing.
But it's a hard thing.
Enough said?
I'm thinking yes.
I have been working on the house all day. Well, really, I've been working on my room all day.
It's amazing how long unpacking takes.
I'm still not done. That sucks.
But, happily, all of the boxes are unpacked. Doesn't mean that everything has a place, yet, but we are making progress.
For example, I have done the following in the past 36 hours:
I'm sure I've done more than that, but that's all I can really think of right now. I haven't even done my bed yet, which I have to put together again because I have a new comforter. I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with my old one.
Why does everything take so LONG? I just want everything to be done.
I'm entertaining here on Friday, and everything WILL be done. We are getting the couches like a half an hour before the guests come. Couldn't be helped, I guess. I don't think I'm going to have to do a whole lot with that, because I've recruited some people to help with the heavy lifting.
Don't say I'm not good with the planning. I am awesome.
I'm excited about finally having all of the furniture that we're actually going to have so that we can decide what colors we're going to do the living room in, since we'll be painting.
And now I'm just blathering on.
Gotta get done so that I can take a shower and go get my syllabus copied before tomorrow's first class. And eating dinner wouldn't suck at some point.
Back to work.

Carbon tax eyed on Philippine pollutersThursday, November 10, 2016 03:23 AM Views : 781Delon Porcalla (The Philippine Star)
MANILA, Philippines – The House of Representatives is eyeing the imposition of a carbon tax or an added levy on companies who contribute to the country's air pollution by way of harmful emissions that can only worsen the impact of climate change.
"A carbon tax would not only help us comply with our international commitments to help curb global warming; we can also use the proceeds from the tax to develop clean energy production processes for our industries," Camarines Sur Rep. LRay Villafuerte suggested.
He said this is one measure the administration of President Duterte should consider in view of the country's adherence to the Paris Climate Change Agreement signed by nearly 200 countries in December 2015.
The first-termer lawmaker called on the government to seriously consider the implementation in the near future of a carbon tax on man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions now that the world's economies have finally reached an agreement.
Villafuerte said imposing a carbon tax on man-made polluters should be considered by the Duterte administration under its multi-year comprehensive tax program, the first package of which was endorsed to the Senate and the House of Representatives last month.
He issued the statement after a landmark pact reached in Rwanda's capital of Kigali on a timetable to phase out hydroflourocarbons, a type of hydrocarbon used in refrigerators and air-conditioners, that is seen as a major step in curbing global warming.
Under the legally binding agreement, the use and manufacture of HFCs will be made to decline in three phases: industrialized economies will begin by 2019; China, Brazil and Africa by 2024, and India, Pakistan and many others by 2028.
Villafuerte said he is currently working on a proposed carbon tax bill that he plans to file in the current 17th Congress as he is still weighing the pros and cons on the impact of such a measure on developing economies like the Philippines.
"We are studying how we can implement a carbon tax gradually through several stages, without adversely affecting the government's planned infrastructure buildup over the next six years, as well as the development of economic zones outside Metro Manila," he said.
"Our goal is to strike a balance between protecting the environment and sustaining our high growth, like what we had earlier proposed to Malacańang in reviewing our energy mix," the Bicolano legislator said, mindful of Duterte's plan to industrialize through massive infra.
Villafuerte earlier urged the government to strike a "happy balance" between environmental protection and high growth in revisiting the country's energy mix, so it could come up with an electricity generation program that would help protect Mother Earth and at the same time ensure energy security and keep the economy on its upward trajectory.
He said the government must put premium on the fast-track harnessing of renewable energy (RE) sources like solar and wind power, but it must also acknowledge the similar importance of sufficient, reliable, steady, secure and relatively cheaper sources like coal power, in view of the apparently critical electricity supply especially in the Luzon grid.
"The Department of Energy must strike a happy balance between environmental protection and high economic growth as it revisits the past government's 30-30-30 energy mix to come up with a power-generation program that would meet the burgeoning demand of businesses and households over the medium- and long-term," Villafuerte said.
"Pursuing eco-friendly initiatives in sync with the international campaign against global warming should top our government's concerns, but it must also consider the imperative of adequate – and cheap – energy supply against the backdrop of ever increasing power demand brought about by a surging domestic economy," he added.

Narayan, Sarika
|Recognizing the role traditional handlooms and designs play in contemporary fashion, we have over the past months initiated a series of interviews with fashion designers. In this interview we do away with the question and answer format to allow two designers to answer our concerns by weaving the story of their interaction and collaboration with the traditional crafts.
|Gunjan Arora
Traditional craft has been and shall be a reflection of the cultural, socio-economic, climatic and historic state of the society at all times. So saying that it has to be "preserved" has two connotations, the first being the preservation from exploitation and commercialization and the other being from the change that the craft is going through with the influences of the current market environment. The latter is inevitable. The former is where we can exercise some degree of control. A craft is bound to absorb and reflect what it breathes and we can only filter some of what it breathes, which is motive enough for pondering, looking out and taking action.We at Sirali, that is my partner, Rahul and I have been associated with traditional crafts since childhood. However the 'feeling' for it came during our design trips to Bhuj, Bagru and Barmer in the formative years of our work. When we first met, Rahul, who comes from Rajasthan, was already breathing textiles and I had been freshly bitten by the Bhuj bug .The synergies instantly sparked the common interests and a journey began.
|Since then we have researched block printing practices in and around Delhi, in Jaipur, more specifically Ajrakh printing in Dhamadka village in Kutch, Suf and other embroideries in Sumraser sheikh-Bhuj and Jaisalmer, Sindhi embroidery in Bajju, Rajasthan and Chikan in and around Lucknow, Bandhini in Bhuj and Mandvi in Kutch, as well as experimented with the Japanese 'Shibori'. Our collections, aimed at the urban market incorporate chikan, block prints, bandhini and shibori.
|Our trip to Kutch opened our eyes to the fact that so many craft skills: printing, weaving, embroideries, tie dye coexist in a single area, each craft form having a different root but in the same surroundings. There still are places and unexplored domains within our own country that could make us feel like tourists in our own land.
Our work with Urmul Seemant Samiti took us to the depths of Bikaner and Jaisalmer. That so many influences have traveled through the North Western Frontier Provinces, through Pakistan and have become our own is fascinating. We conducted design workshops for the artisans focusing on the technical and the quality angle i.e. introducing them to new fabrics, teaching better stitching techniques, new embroidery placements but conveying all the time that it is important to stay close to the roots.
One such discovery was with Chikankari:
The first trip to the town of Lucknow had more meanings than one. It was about discovering the roots of chikankari as well as the commercial aspect of it. At the root depth of the art there was so much to accept, learn and take forward.
|The trip was about feeling the feelings of the craftspeople and the journey the art form had traveled. The heat wave in the midst of the dust sent us the first feeler of what was to be the physical path of the trip. A shared auto rickshaw, two hand drawn cycle rickshaws and an hour and half later we reached a village called Khadra on the banks of the river Gomti, where the craft has been practiced ever since its being. A small group of women from all walks of life, religions and levels of learning were seen working in collectives called "centers". The chance to be with national & state awardees, who have been commissioned by the government to propagate and shoulder the craft, was like an oasis in the desert.
Unlike the transfer of design on fabric as we did at our end, the traditional way of printing the design with hand blocks is still prevalent. Gum from the babool tree is blended with indigo to transfer the design onto the fabric and to allow it to stay on for a prolonged period of time.
|The work is divided between the groups as per their specialization with the stitches and the skill levels. The job is issued out to women who cannot venture out of their houses after marking of the pattern on the fabric length. Post embroidery, the fabric barely looks recognizable and hardly like a piece of art but it carries the story of the lives of the people who decorate it, either for the need of a livelihood or for the sake of the art.
|It goes through its final cleansing at the banks of the river Gomti where all the dirt, all its traces and all the stories with it are washed off in soda and soap. It's only now that the images of the art begin to be seen.
Working With Crafts
As for the future of the craft, it is as bright as its past if we accept the fact that like us craft too has to make a journey and live and grow within the environment. The responsibility is that of all the stakeholders : designers, retailers, exporters and consumers to keep alive the soul of the craft.

2015 Nissan Frontier vs 2015 Toyota Tacoma
When push comes to shove, what mid-size pickup do you trust? That's the question being asked by Robbins Nissan, who recently took to the road--and off-road--to compare the 2015 Nissan Frontier and the 2015 Toyota Tacoma. These two models have long been the class of the mid-size pickup segment, but the question begs asking, how do they stack up against one another?
As you can see on the table above, this isn't a competition that the 2015 Nissan Frontier has taken lying down. The Frontier continues to be among the best values available in any segment, as evidenced by its starting MSRP of nearly $3,000 less than its Toyota competitor. However, anyone expecting this to reflect a sharp drop-off in quality--or in anything else, for that matter--will be sorely mistaken. The maximum horsepower, maximum torque, and cargo bed volume only serve to illustrate what should be clear: the Frontier is simply gives you more than the Toyota Tacoma.
The 2015 Nissan Frontier is now available at Robbins Nissan, located north of Houston in Humble, Texas. Test drive yours today!
Iconic Capability in the 2015 Nissan Frontier!
With two bed lengths, two powertrain options, and availability in five exciting trim levels, it's no wonder that the 2015 Nissan Frontier continues to be the mid-size pickup best suited to today's Texas driver. And, with its eye-catching design and host of forward-thinking technology features, this doesn't look to be a trend that will change anytime soon.
Now standard in the 2015 Nissan Frontier is an agile 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivering an excellent 152 horsepower and 23 highway mpg. Upgrading to the available 4.0-liter V6, meanwhile, sweetens the deal even further; its 261 horsepower is well-suited to all sorts of off-road activities, while its 281 pound-feet of torque is ideal for towing up to an estimated 6,500 pounds when properly equipped.
So what are you waiting for? The 2015 Nissan Altima is now available at Robbins Nissan, where our friendly team of sales associates is standing by today to help you find the mid-size pickup that continues to set the bar for all the others. Visit our dealership today to schedule your test drive!
But perhaps what makes us proudest is our dedication to serving all of the communities in the area. Whether you reside a few hours away in Beaumont or Port Arthur, or are relatively close in communities such as Conroe, Katy or Cleveland, our staff will cater to your needs just as readily as we would for our local customers. We also happily serve the nearby locales of Spring, The Woodlands and Baytown, as well as our neighbors in Liberty-Dayton. Our team is more than willing to reach out to community members in Houston, Kingwood, and Crosby-Huffman.

We also have military discounts available to honor our service members. We serve them with quality cars, great service and good people. What more could you ask for from a car dealership?

From IMDB.com: "A washed up singer is given a couple days to compose a chart-topping hit for an aspiring teen sensation. Though he's never written a decent lyric in his life, he sparks with an offbeat younger woman with a flair for words."
I just finished watching Music & Lyrics and I must say that I have a serious case of the warm and fuzzies. I have always been a Hugh Grant fan. I have always been a Drew Barrymore fan. Even Hugh Grant playing a total bastard I enjoy. There's just something about him. Drew Barrymore I have enjoyed watching since ET. Ms. Barrymore makes think there is hope for Hollywood's current pAArty girls, yet. I do, however, have to admit when I saw this particular pairing I scratched my head and uttered "WTF?"
Could it work? Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore? Oh yes, it can and it did.
Grant plays Alex Fletcher, the admitedly washed up 80's popstar who is now making a living playing state fairs and amusement parks. He gets a call from current teen sensation, Cora, (think a tame version of Britney Spears pre-Kevin Federline) who asks him to write a song for her. He at first teams with a "professional" lyricist (Grant is more music than lyrics) and is working on the song when in comes Sophie Fisher (Barrymore), temporary plant waterer. She may drown the plants, but from interesting lyrical ideas. Lyricist man gets upset, walks out. Grant convinces Barrymore to stay and help write and they embark on a 5 day adventure writing a hit song for Cora.
Along the way they begin to see things in each other and attempt and eventually succeed in bringing out the best in each other. Not without drama along the way, though. Cora wants to change the song to a "sweaty and sticky" sound complete with bhagra beats, a sitar and beatboxing. Fisher thinks it's an insult to the song and to the Indian culture and Fletcher is somewhat desperate to make a buck. The team begins to fall apart but have no fear, warm and fuzzy wins out in the end!
I really enjoyed this movie. It's been a while since I really enjoyed a romantic comedy. I have to admit, though, there were moments when I thought it was a bit long or I thought it should have ended. BUT I wouldn't trade the ending for the world. And watching the "pop-up video" bit at the end was hilarious. On top of a good, heartwarming movie, I also have to give a nod to the music team that put together the music for the movie. The fictional 80's band "Pop" and the at the beginning of the movie captured 80's pop perfectly! It was infectious and I'll probably have it stuck in my head for a couple of hours. It made me want to go download some Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Flock of Seagulls or Human League. It was all around fun.
I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is in the mood for a good romantic comedy.

Monday was quiet and calm after a weekend of sons and their ladies, extra dogs, yummy food, fun games in the yard. Seth, the oldest, arrived on Saturday morning with his girlfriend, Rachel, and his two dogs, Jack and Winston. Milo was in heaven with two new playmates. They hardly stopped playing the entire time. I had Seth and Rachel to myself for a lot of the afternoon until others arrived, which any loving mother enjoys when visits are few and far between. After Patrick and Christine (son two and girlfriend) and the Sams (youngest son, Sam, and fiancee, Samantha) showed up, we enjoyed dinner--my Faux Bouillabaise. Since I had broken my ribs on Monday, it was a challenge to cook dinner; but post-dinner clean-up was left to someone else. We sat and talked late into the evening enjoying each other's company.
On Saturday, breakfast lasted the entire morning, given a variety of sleeping and eating habits, starting with me and ending with Pat and Christine. Dinner on Sunday was prepared by Pat and Christine--a delicious chicken tetrazzini and lovely salad with tomatoes, carrots and lemon cucumbers from the garden. They enjoy their food and know how to make it enjoyable to others.
Seth and Rachel gathered up the dogs and left for San Francisco late Sunday evening when weekend traffic returning from Lake Tahoe had already subsided. It was, plain and simple, a wonderful weekend.

Key to success in any new job is the people you meet – a good network can provide the information, resources and support needed to succeed. But few onboarding programmes offer concrete advice on how to build those all-important connections. This article has some great suggestions.
We found a few surprises. First, contrary to popular opinion, "brand-building" across a very broad network was not necessarily better; in fact, it was correlated with departures in years two to four.

There's a question mark next to SMSF property investment, so Aussies considering the move should weigh up the pros and cons.
Westpac made headlines recently after it announced that it would stop lending to SMSFs, leading property groups to warn the move indicates the riskiness of the investment.
Other groups suggested commercial property could fill the void, while others still highlighted the smaller lenders that remain in the market.
According to legal technology experts GlobalX, the message for borrowers is to exercise caution.
CEO Peter Maloney said the trend of buying property through an SMSF is understandable given Australians' lack of trust in financial institutions.
"More buyers and older Australians are planning for their future and they have lost faith in their financial systems. They are turning to self-managed super funds (SMSF) to build their property portfolios," Mr Maloney said.
"The appeal of this to the average Australian is that they get to decide when and where their super is invested and they can see a physical asset."
However, buyers should still be careful about the move given the weight of fees in addition to borrowing conditions.
He said these are the five key points investors need to consider:
1. Who should you consult for advice?
"There are so many rules involved with the process so it's important to seek independent financial advice on whether this is the right move for you," Mr Maloney said.
This is in addition to seeking legal advice.
"You shouldn't be afraid to ask your lawyer or conveyancer and your accountant to explain things to you in depth. It's tough to wrap your head around so it's always better to be comfortable and ask plenty of questions," he said.
2. Do you understand your responsibilities?
"If your SMSF property loan documentation and contract isn't set up correctly, unwinding the arrangement could be difficult so you want to ensure you are fully aware of what you are getting yourself into," Mr Maloney said.
3. How much will it cost?
SMSFs need to maintain a "liquidity buffer" of 10 per cent of the proposed investment's value, so investors can't use all of their superannuation to buy an investment property.
4. How do the fees compare to other property loans?
"There are a lot of fees involved with SMSF property sales and these can add up and reduce your overall super balance. You should definitely try to find out all of the costs before signing up," he said.
Fees include legal fees, stamp duty, advice fees, bank fees and the upfront fees.
5. What's your investment strategy?
In line with the second question, investors need to be aware of the requirement to have a documented investment strategy. This is a detailed financial plan that factors in the current and future needs of the fund's members.

Idol Cookie has chattered about her pick for Round 2 of the SMI 3 Challenge...
O & D by Diane Miraballes
"I love this page because I was so amazed on how Diane was able to interpret and execute week 2 challenge criteria. I love her choice of paper which truly blends with the over all look of the layout. I also love the effect of the flowers being used as a stamp on her page which gave more character to the paper that she used. And my favorite part was... i love how she used the packaging of the AC Metalgrams to add the embossed effect to the other small photos she used on her page. It also gave her pics a sense of balance without overwhelming the main picture. I also like what she did with the title... just gave me the illusion that it was floating. If you look closely at her page....simple colors yet full of dimensions. Congrats Diane! Your page is amazing!"
Job well done Diane!

Cross-National Comparisons of Union Stability in Cohabiting and Married Families With Children
Increases in cohabitation, nonmarital childbearing, and partnership dissolution have reshaped the family landscape in most Western countries. The United States shares many features of family change common elsewhere, although it is exceptional in its high degree of union instability. In this study, we use the Harmonized Histories to provide a rich, descriptive account of union instability among couples who have had a child together in the United States and several European countries.
Healthy relationships in adolescence can help shape a young person's identity and prepare teens for more positive relationships during adulthood. Providing adolescents with tools to start and maintain healthy relationships (with romantic partners as well as peers, employers, teachers, and parents) may have a positive influence on young people's overall development.

There are very few environmental issues unrelated to the impact of human overpopulation. Government regulations may seek to address the symptoms of overpopulation or environmental impact, but will do little to address the fundamental cause. Thus, environmental policies of the hated former President Bush or the much-loved President Obama, or your support or opposition of such polices, will make no difference. — John Cartmell, Redmond Aiding the Arctic In his first international visit as president, President Obama pledged to work with Canada's government toward a clean-energy future. A vital part of this clean-energy future must be the protection of our shared wild places, including the Arctic region, suffering most from the impacts of global warming. Over the past 50 years, global temperatures have increased an average of more than 1-degree Fahrenheit, but temperatures in the Arctic have increased by an average of 4 degrees. After eight years of the Bush administration pushing to develop this region with no regard to the global impacts, both the United States and Canada must develop a comprehensive energy plan that includes protection for the land, water, wildlife and people of the Arctic. As part of this plan, certain places in the Arctic must be kept off-limits, including the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, known as the "sacred place where life begins" to the people of the Gwich'in Nation, which is both American and Canadian land. Any industrial development in the Arctic region must not compound the damage already done. — Kit McGurn, Seattle Comments | More in Environment

Chapter 508 -Confession Part 2
"Xiao Yun's talent was extraordinary that year. However, a young mistress from a branch of the Yao family fancied him. When he adamantly refused to join their family despite their threats and bribes, the Yao family schemed to make him unable to make any further breakthroughs for the rest of his life. Xiao Yun was also chased out of the family because of this."
As they heard this, those people lowered their heads with guilt written all over their faces.
Who knew that, after almost a century, such outstanding descendants of Xiao Yun would appear?
An ancestor elder suddenly knelt before Xiao Yun's grave and said remorsefully, "We had all let you down that year. We were jealous about Xiao Yun and listened to Qing Shi's provocation which resulted in us contributing to that matter. We felt uneasy for doing so these past several years. Hence, we came to beg for your forgiveness."
Elder Xiao suddenly chuckled as his cold laughter echoed through the entire memorial hall.
"Do you guys know what happened that year and what took his life?! If it wasn't for that case, how could he have died so prematurely? Can your begging for forgiveness return to him his life? Haha! This is too laughable!"
Nobody knew how Xiao Yun felt when he left the Central Region that year, nor what he went through when he created a place for himself here…
But he, who had witnessed it, would never forget that those had been the most painful days of Xiao Yun's life.
"Do you know how Xiao Yun died? He should have been able to live another century without any difficulty with his cultivation. There also isn't anyone that could match up to him in cultivation in this place! It was Qing Shi that bastard who dispatched someone to assassinate Xiao Yun! It is great that the assassin was humane and didn't annihilate my Xiao family. Otherwise, how could such a situation occur today?"
This time, even the ancestor elders had gotten a fright, not to mention the rest.
To be truthful, they were youthful and hot blooded at that time so they couldn't stand Xiao Yun. Thus, they listened to Qing Shu's instigations. They really did feel remorse during these last years, but they didn't expect that the one who killed Xiao Yun was actually Qing Shi!
Mu Ru Yue lowered her gaze slightly. She suddenly felt that it had been too simple to have just carved Qing Shi's meat and feed it to the dogs. Instead, she should have made him live a life worse than death!
"Elder Xiao, don't worry. The old ancestor should already be at peace." Mu Ru Yue lifted the side of her lip and continued, "It is because Qing Shi has already died, his flesh carved up to feed the dogs while he remained conscious. Jing Er personally carried this matter out. His appearance in death was incredibly gruesome. Furthermore, his spirit has been dissipated so he will never have the chance to be reincarnated."
Elder Xiao was stunned before he raised his head to laugh heartily after a while.
"Qing Shi is dead? That bastard is finally dead! Do you see this, Lord Xiao Yun? The one that planned your death has finally gone to hell to apologise to you. Haha!"
Tears flowed subconsciously as he laughed.
At this moment, it was as though the heavy stone that had weighed down on him for so many years had finally dropped, making him feel unprecedented relief…
Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything further and quietly retreated from the memorial hall with Xiao Tian Yu and the rest. She then turned her head toward Xiao Tian Yu and Madam Sheng Yue as she said with raised brows, "Father, mother, can you please call grandfather out? I have some matters I would like to tell you all…"
The two of them glanced at each other, curious as to what Mu Ru Yue wanted to say, but they didn't think much further and simply nodded.
Mu Ru Yue told them about Zi Qian Zing's identity and her past life to her family that day. Furthermore, she told them that when a cultivator reached a certain threshold in cultivation, they could be reborn if their spirit wasn't dissipated. Elder Xiao, who had known this after reading it in an ancient book, was still very shocked, but it wasn't just a legend to him…
Mu Ru Yue's purposes in coming back was not only bring to Yao Yun Qing to meet with her parents or to help Elder Xiao refine the Increase Life Force Pill; she also needed to look for her master.
"Xiao Yun's talent was extraordinary that year. However, a young mistress from a branch of the Yao family fancied him. When he adamantly refused to join their family despite their threats and bribes, the Yao family schemed to make him unable to make any further breakthroughs for the rest of his life. Xiao Yun was also chased out of the family because of this."
As they heard this, those people lowered their heads with guilt written all over their faces.[Miki: That's right~ lower your head! Sigh~ why do things that you will regret? Well Miki also had done lots too so oh wells~ Failures is a step to success in life? Sweats]

If we think about it for a while, part of how the powers that were kept us from learning about the amazing and significant, about things that we'd want to have which they wanted to keep from us, was to ridicule anything related to these subjects.
Any one of us can remember the manner in which the local movie cop ridiculed the person who drove in reporting a UFO. Many of us remember the commanding and balanced military types who'd appear on TV and sell us what we now see as a total load of bunkum on subjects that would have been of tremendous interest or importance to us (Roswell, the threat of nuclear war, the need to defend ourselves against "the Commies").
We missed out on free energy and polluted the planet with hydrocarbons instead, sapping Gaia of liquids important to her functioning. (Sorry. I should have put my tin hat on before saying such a thing.)
We dumped nuclear waste in the middle of the ocean, hoping no one would find out until we had a better way of treating it. We drilled for oil in the ocean down to incredible depths with lines the equivalent of drinking straws, which were just an invitation for something to go wrong. And it did, with regularity.
We clear-cut the forests, cleared the Amazon of native habitat and precious pharmaceutical plants, stole land from anyone else we wanted, and crashed economies whose ruin benefited us. We've carried on like pirates of the Caribbean, all the time keeping secret and ridiculing the idea of the very beings who walk a higher way of life and have the power to mentor and benefit us.
These same beings, however, have amazing resolve: they've midwifed all the great religions (I can think of three that Sanat Kumara midwifed, without even wracking my brain). They've given us seminal inventions and technologies, like the computer you're reading on and the Internet that's bringing this article to you.
Our religious leaders sold us on the concept that death was the end – and we'd better give our Peter Pence before dying if we wanted to go to Heaven.
Our military leaders pooh-poohed the existence of extraterrestrials – even as they were using free-energy devices and flying to Mars in secret space craft back-engineered from "alien" ships – except when it served them to create movies showing ET bent on whipping and wiping out the human race.
And everyone combined to laugh at the notion of angels – a race of beings a few notches higher than us and one that many of us wearing these heavy, clinging wet suits apparently come from.
Well, now we're holding lively conversations with spooks, watching aliens clean up our planet for us and save us from ourselves, and getting peerless wisdom from archangels, every day, every week, on how to get from here (murdering each other) to there (Heaven on Earth).
And one of the changes that I regard as most important is our common agreement among ourselves to drop this withering technique of ridiculing what doesn't fit into our belief system and instead meeting all new ideas with balance, respect and neutrality. Heavens, we may be actually growing up as a race.
What we thought would never happen, what we needed to do to pry ourselves out of this insane paradigm of mutually-assured destruction, is actually occurring before our eyes.
Not only are we actually growing beyond Spanky and Our Gang, we're leaving behind the Boys in the Hood. I don't think we even know what life will be like without the ridicule factor, choosing our favorite victims and then bullying them. I don't think we fully know what life will be like when we conduct ourselves as spiritual adults. (And I'm absolutely willing to be wrong.)
I'm waiting for the rise of a new generation of film and TV directors and song writers – those who create our common mythologies – to take up the challenge of this New Age and show us what's so, what's true and what's real without needing to drag anyone down to do it.
It's a time to let go of ridicule. (And I may need to join in that new phase myself and laugh about it more, instead of remembering it and investing it with seriousness!)

On July 17, 1980, 35 years ago, when he accepted the Republican presidential nomination, Ronald Reagan—the great communicator—outlined what he intended to do as president with five little words—family, work, neighborhood, peace, and freedom.
Reagan was always outspoken about pro-life issues such as the need to protect the unborn child. In 1984, for example, he published "Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation," becoming the first president to write a book while in office. In his acceptance address, he emphasized that "work and family are at the center of our lives, the foundation of our dignity as a free people."
In his acceptance, Reagan argued that across-the-board tax cuts would jump-start the American economy—mired in stagflation as a result of Jimmy Carter's failed policies. He stressed the dignity of work and said that the ability to support yourself was essential to a free people and a free nation.
"Reaganomics" proved to be the right medicine for our ailing economy—unemployment dropped dramatically, inflation subsided, and 17 million new jobs were added.
Reagan quoted Thomas Jefferson more than any other founder citing his firm commitment to liberty and limited government. In the face of an ever expanding federal government, candidate Reagan called for a renewal of "our compact of freedom."
Echoing Alexis de Tocqueville and his praise of America's voluntary associations, Reagan urged the people to restore "the American spirit of voluntary service, of cooperation, of private and community initiative."
He promised that as president "everything that can be run more effectively by state and local government we shall turn over to state and local government, along with the funding sources to pay for it." He would later call it "a New Federalism."
Reagan believed deeply in the concept of peace through strength—a phrase first used by President Dwight D. Eisenhower—and as president he championed a sophisticated, multi-faceted foreign policy that led, shortly after he left office, to the collapse of communism in Eastern and Central Europe and the dissolution of what he once called "an evil empire," the Soviet Union.
In his 1980 address, he declared that "it is the responsibility of the President of the United States, in working for peace, to insure that the safety of our people cannot successfully be threatened by a hostile foreign power."
As president, he strengthened the military, supported anti-communist forces around the world, and most critical of all introduced the Strategic Defense Initiative that convinced the Soviets they could not win the arms race.
In his acceptance remarks, Reagan promised to limit the overreach of the federal government into the lives of Americans. "We must have the clarity of vision," he said, "to see the difference between what is essential and what is merely desirable; and then the courage to bring our government back under control."
Through his historic tax cuts and pruning of non-essential services, President Reagan was able to free up the economy and enable Americans at all economic levels to spend their money as they and not the government wished.
At the same time, he initiated a Reagan Doctrine in foreign policy predicated on a simple solution to ending the Cold War: "We win and they lose." By the end of the decade, and after Reagan had gone to Berlin and challenged the Soviet leadership, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" the wall was no more and all of Europe knew true peace for the first time in over 40 years.
As a candidate and as a president, Ronald Reagan cautioned against depending on one political leader or one political party. "My view of government," he said, "places trust … in those values that transcend persons and parties. The trust is where it belongs—in the people. The responsibility to live up to that trust is where it belongs, in [our] elected leaders."
Reagan saw himself as part of that relationship, committed to the first principles that had formed America and that keep her and all of us free. From beginning to end, he was a great communicator who understood the importance of great ideas and communicated them as no other president has in modern times.

10 WWE Superstars who aged drastically
A career in the wrestling business requires a lot of hard work and dedication. The never decreasing physical demands and the hard journeys on the road are sure to take a lot out from your tank and it might not reflect well on the body as well.
Ageing terribly is one of the side effects of being a professional wrestler and even though a majority of the wrestlers dodge this problem, there are a lot of names out there who are not lucky enough. Slowing down in the squared circle and looking well above your age is probably the last thing you want as a superstar.
Watch this video to find out which WWE stars fell into that pit.
Rob Van Dam
Rob Van Dam's has the reputation for being a rolling stone. Throughout his career, Van Dam wrestled in a lot of promotions and his style in between the ropes has considerably slowed him down right now.
He is younger than most of his Attitude Era companions when it comes to the number but the latest spell he had with WWE shows that Van Dam is in no shape whatsoever to continue wrestling for years to come.
The problems he had with substance abuse is also another factor that contributed to his ageing and the best thing that we can expect from Rob Van Dam at the moment is one last hurray before he hangs up his boots.
Raven, just likes some of the names in the list, might not be a familiar face for the modern era fans. He was one of the major attractions back in the original ECW and has a reputation of being a wrestling genius. The current Bray Wyatt gimmick that we see today in WWE has a lot of inspiration from what Raven used to be, if a comparison is required to know him better.
Raven is currently 50 years old but ageing has not been a good friend of his. His hair and body have been seeing some drastic changes over the year and this has also kept him away from the ring. It would be great to see Raven get a backstage role in WWE as he could give a lot of creative input to the company.

I am a huge Google nerd. With little exception, I love the company and what they do. I use Gmail, Google calendar, reader, documents, etc. The only thing I haven't fully grappled with yet is Buzz. It is too much too soon. I was put off by their initial 'in-your-face' shove of Buzz into the world.
Will Youngstown and Google connect?
Friday, March 5, 2010
YOUNGSTOWN — Google is looking for cities where it can install an incredibly fast communications network, and Youngstown wants to be considered.
A local team will begin meeting next week to develop a proposal for how it would use the broadband, fiber-optic network, which Google said will be 100 times faster than current high-speed networks.
Jim Cossler, who assembled the team, is looking for practical ideas about how super-fast connections can help improve society. He is the director of the Youngstown Business Incubator.

The objective of the study was to analyze the technology of electrophysiological identification of laryngeal nerves in goîter surgeries.
Methods: The technology of electrophysiological identification of laryngeal nerves in goiter surgeries was developed. It is based on the recording of changes in the sound vibrations generated by the passage of air through the voice gap, the area of which changes in the event of a change in the tension of vocal cords from electrostimulation of the laryngeal nerves. The greatest changes in the frequency and amplitude of sound vibrations occur when electrostimulation of tissues near the nerve and the nerve itself. This phenomenon allows to determine the location of the nerve and prevent its injury.
Results: The method was tested in 173 patients who had been operated for goiter. There were no cases of temporary or permanent disorders of phonation.
Conclusions: The developed technology of electrophysiological identification of laryngeal nerves in goiter surgeries is reliable, easy to apply, and is not expensive. The influence of other factors on its results was not noted.
Key words: intraoperative trauma of laryngeal nerves, prevention, electrophysiological identification.
Intraoperative injuries of the laryngeal recurrent nerves are the most common and serious complications of goiter surgeries. Their frequency ranges from 0.3 to 2.5 % (according to some authors – up to 12 %) and has no tendency to decrease. The number of nerve injuries increases to 11–20 % in surgeries for recurrent goiter and cancer1–3. Over the past 10–15 years, there were papers devoted to neuro-monitoring of the outer branch of the upper laryngeal nerve4–8. The analysis of publications on neuronal monitoring of the larynx nerves suggests that the methods of electrostimulation and monitoring used today do not allow reducing the frequency of its damage. In other words, their use is not a priority and, in comparison with the gold standard – the visualization of the larynx nerves, does not reduce the frequency of parestheses of the larynx and postoperative disorders of its vocal function. They are useful only to verify if the nerve is intact or damaged. Therefore, there were opinions that raise the question of the feasibility of such monitoring. After all, it does not reduce the frequency of nerve injuries, significantly prolongues the duration of the operation, and the expensive equipment used unjustifiably increases the cost of surgery.

When Kourtney Kardashian is away, Scott Disick will play ... with Khloe Kardashian. Just as Kourtney was returning from her epic girls' trip to Mexico, Khloe posted a photo with Scott Disick where she's sitting on his lap and cuddling. The photo is incredibly blurry and Khloe has since deleted it (possibly because of the shade being thrown her way?), but Lord Disick still has it up on his 'gram with a caption that's kind of uncomfy.
Initially, Khloe posted the photo to Instagram and then reposted it to Twitter with the caption, "The Lord and the Lady." For whatever reason, though, the photos have been taken down. Scott, on the other hand, was happy to leave the photo up on his page.
As for Scott's caption? He just wrote, "Side," joking that Khloe is his side chick.
More from CafeMom: 17 Pics That Prove Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick Are So Back Together
Not long after Khloe posted the first photo, the comments started rolling in, asking the Strong Looks Better Naked author how Kourtney must feel about something like this -- to which she quickly replied, "Ummm she took the picture. He's my brother you weirdo."
Shut. Down. Haters.
It's still unclear why Khloe took both pictures down, but clearly she -- and Kourtney -- DGAF about what people think about her relationship with Scott.
More from CafeMom: 17 Times Scott Disick Got Way Too Close to Kourtney Kardashian's Sisters
Khloe and Scott have always had a slightly bizarre relationship, but hey, the Kardashian clan is nothing if not ridiculously close. It's hard to imagine Kourtney ever getting annoyed at Khloe and Scott's antics, because not only has their relationship always been this way, but she doesn't want Scott anyway.
Soz, L.D.
