Windows users have their pick of the litter when it comes to VPNs. As the most popular operating system in the world, almost every VPN service caters to Windows users. Most of their apps work on all recent versions of the OS including Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
We'll cover each VPN we recommend in detail. If you are looking for a quick recommendation, here is a summary list of the best VPNs for Windows:
- ExpressVPN Our #1 Choice! Fast and reliable with great privacy protection. Supports most streaming including Netflix. Includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- CyberGhost Best budget option, over 5,700 servers.
- NordVPN Good value choice offering security and fast connections.
- VyprVPN Owns all its own servers for excellent speed and uptime.
- PrivateVPN Great up-and-coming VPN, good value for money.
The wide range of VPNs makes it difficult to narrow down the criteria by which to judge the best Windows VPN. The best VPN for unblocking Netflix and Hulu on Windows, for example, might not be the best VPN for torrenting on Windows.
Because of that, we looked for the best VPNs for Windows with the best all-around performance, security, design, and customer support. Note that all of the VPNs on this list should also work with recent Microsoft Surface models, which run full Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 operating systems.
A VPN, at its core, is a privacy tool. Microsoft has built some known tracking and advertising features into Windows 10 that impose on users' privacy. The company has a history of cooperating with the NSA in bulk data collection, as exposed by Edward Snowden. For these reasons, we prefer VPNs that keep no logs of user activity and are based outside of the United States.
The best VPN for Windows
Our criteria for choosing the best VPN for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 include:
- Logging policy
- Security
- Speed
- App design
- Customer support
- Ability to unblock websites
Here is our 2019 list of the best VPNs for Windows:

How to set up a VPN on Windows
All of the VPN providers we recommend above make their own apps for Windows. Windows has built-in support for VPNs, but it requires manually configuring a connection for each server you wish to connect to. This can get tedious quickly, plus you won't be able to take advantage of all the features built into the providers' apps. These include kill switches, leak protection, auto-reconnect, etc.
Furthermore, the baked-in support for VPNs in Windows is limited when it comes to protocols. Windows doesn't support OpenVPN by default, which is open-source and generally considered the most secure.
Here's how to get started with a VPN on Windows:
- Sign up for an account with the provider of your choice, ExpressVPN is our preferred option.
- Download the app for your version of Windows from the provider's website.
- Click on the downloaded file to install the app and follow the instructions in the setup wizard
- Once installed, run the app
- (Optional) Select a server. Most VPN apps will connect you to the nearest server if you don't choose one. If you want to unblock content that's restricted to a certain country, for example, select a server in that country.
- Hit Connect and wait for the connection to establish.
And that's it! Most VPN apps will notify you when the connection is ready. It typically takes less than 30 seconds. Any internet traffic going to or from your computer will first be encrypted and travel through the VPN server.
What about Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile?
While VPN apps are practically omnipresent for desktop versions of Windows, the opposite is true when it comes to Microsoft's unpopular mobile operating systems. Therefore, the criteria by which to judge a VPN provider on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile deviate from the desktop criteria.
For this reason, we've written a separate article detailing the best VPNs for Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile here. Likewise, we have another list made specifically for Windows 10 VPN recommendations.
Avoid "free" VPNs
So-called "free VPNs" are best avoided. While they don't require payment like those on this list, they can actually reduce your privacy by injecting tracking cookies and advertisements into your web browser. Furthermore, they typically have data caps and bandwidth limits, not to mention a far more restricted range of servers.
As a general rule of thumb, if you're not buying the product, then you are the product.
Disable IPv6 for better security
In more recent versions of Windows, the operating system sends DNS requests for web pages using both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, simultaneously. Whichever one comes back first is used to establish a connection with a web server. This helps web pages load faster–often by only a few milliseconds–but it can cause problems when you're trying to unblock a geographically restricted website like Netflix or Hulu.
Most commercial VPNs are only equipped to handle IPv4 requests. Those IPv4 requests go through the VPN tunnel and are resolved by the VPN provider's DNS servers. But if the IPv6 request bypasses the tunnel and is sent over the normal non-encrypted network, it will go to the nearest public or ISP-run DNS server, revealing the user's true location. The DNS server mismatch is a dead giveaway for websites like Hulu and apps like Netflix, which will return an error saying the user must first disable the proxy before watching a video. It also lets your ISP snoop on your activity, although to a lesser degree than if you were not using a VPN at all.
Here's how to disable IPv6 in Windows:
- Right-click the network icon (usually a wifi symbol) in your system tray and select Open network and sharing center
- In the window that appears, click the link with the name of your network. If you're on wifi, it will have (Wi-Fi) in parentheses
- In the next window that pops up, click Properties
- Uncheck the entry for Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
- Click OK to save your changes and restart your computer

The term "congenital" refers to diseases and deformities present at the time of birth. Clubfoot, tarsal coalition, and Charcot disease are just a few examples of these types of problems. Many of these disorders can be detected even before birth with the use of diagnostic procedures like ultrasound. Such imaging technologies give our doctors insight to the extent of the damage and allow us to prepare the best treatment possible. These bone deformations vary greatly in their symptoms, and individuals may feel very little or a great deal of pain. Nearly all congenital deformities will become worse with time as the bones mature and these conditions become more rigid or even permanent.
Many congenital disorders can be successfully treated with proper medical care, but they need to be diagnosed and attended to as early as possible. Contact our Medford office at (541) 776-3338 and benefit from our experience in these foot problems. Appointments can also be scheduled online with Dr. Evan Merrill.

Meet The Mauritius Saddle-Backed Giant Tortoise
The most famous endemic, but now extinct, animal to have walked the island of Mauritius is surely the Dodo. However little is known about the country's other unfortunately extinct species. One such animal is the Mauritius saddle-backed giant tortoise which was one of the two tortoises endemic to the island.
What made it special?
The Mauritius saddle-backed tortoise had quite a long neck making it more likely to stroll around, feeding on bushes or small lingering trees rather than grazing on grass. But what made it special? Or rather shall we say unique?
It is its shell. A shell which is believed to have evolved due to its environment. The Tortoise lived without threats of predators until humans arrived and started quickly exploiting them for food and oil till extinction. The lack of predators over time is believed to have given them thinner keratin shells and softer skin compared to the commonly known tortoises of today. And from what we've seen, it appeared smooth and just plainly unique. No odd shapes. No bumps. Just a beautifully carved shell.
Wait! What? How did we see one if it is extinct? Well we kind of saw one on a trip to 'Île Aux Aigrettes', a nearby little island off the South-eastern coast of Mauritius.
Extinct but we found it again.
The last known probable encounter with one could have been in 1844. But now we are happy to say that there is one remaining on 'Île aux Aigrettes' and this bad boy is quite selfie addict, exuberating a wonderful smile. It is a shame however that it is entirely made out of Bronze instead of its previous flesh and keratin shell glory.
Visit 'Île aux Aigrettes'
Book a visit to 'Île aux Aigrettes' if like us you want to take a selfie with the jolly faced tortoise or discover the lush greenery or fantastic fauna of the island by clicking on the link to their website below.

Two weeks ago, I was able to go to the fourth #azbloggermeetup. Camille started the meet-ups a little over a year ago and I'm so glad I've been able to attend since the beginning. It's crazy to see how much our group has grown in such a short amount of time. Yay for bloggers!
This meet-up we had a theme of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Spring dresses and flower crowns were the expected attire and we spent our time outside in the gorgeous Arizona weather. We drank out of mason jars with striped straws (necessity at any blogging event) and the food... oh my goodness, the food. Nothing Bundt Cake donated two cakes to the event and oh my gosh. Heavenly. You need this cake in your life. Seriously. Go find Nothing Bundt Cake now.
And without further ado, pictures.
|The lovely ladies who put the whole thing together- Chrissy, Kayla, Meghan, and Camille.
|Me, Jen, and Camille
|The whole group.
Needless to say, it was a fantastic night filled with the loveliest of ladies. I only wish I was able to meet more of the new faces. Next time.
PS- I just realized I still haven't blogged about the Crafty Pants Party from last month. That is going in the to-do pile. But also, marriage. So you know.

Now, at least 325,000 lights (mostly LED), 30 large landscape lights, dozens of small landscape lights, 30 large holiday trees, dozens of lighted sculptures, and a beautifully decorated Garden House draw – on average – 50,000 to 70,000 visitors each season.

What happens in Las Vegas, doesn't always stay in Las Vegas.
Close to one month after Amanda Stanton was arrested in the famous city, the Bachelor Nation star was officially charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery.
While she was not present for today's proceedings in the Clark County courthouse, E! News can confirm Amanda's attorney entered a plea of not guilty.
Her next court date is scheduled for December 12.
Back in September, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to a battery domestic violence call. A physical altercation allegedly took place in a hotel room where it is alleged that Amanda battered her boyfriend Bobby Jacobs. Through the course of the investigation, police say it was found that there was probable cause to arrest Amanda on one count of battery domestic violence.

The findings, led by researchers from the University of Bristol, are published online in the British Medical Journal [BMJ] today [11 October].
Varenicline (brand name Champix in the UK, Chantix in the US) is widely used by patients seeking to stop smoking with recent figures showing there were one million prescriptions for the drug in England in 2011 alone1. Both varenicline and bupropion (brand name Zyban) – the other main non-nicotine smoking cessation product – work by helping to reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Bupropion is also used to treat depressive illnesses in some countries, but is not licensed for this indication in the UK.
However, concerns that these drugs may increase the risk of suicide have led to safety warnings by regulatory agencies including the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Findings from this large-scale study aimed to assess the risk of psychiatric events in patients prescribed varenicline or bupropion compared with those using nicotine replacement products such as patches and gum.
Researchers analysed data from the medical records of 119,546 adults who had used a smoking cessation product between 1 September 2006 and 31 October 2011. Using linked data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) mortality data and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), the team were then able to assess the rate of treated depression, self-harm and suicide in 31, 260 (26.2 per cent) patients prescribed varenicline, 6,741 (5.6 per cent) patients prescribed bupropion and compare this with 81, 545 (68.2 per cent) people using nicotine replacement therapies.
The findings, which used three different analytical methods, showed no clear evidence of an increased risk of treated depression or suicidal behavior for patients prescribed with varenicline or bupropion compared to those taking nicotine replacement therapies.
Dr Kyla Thomas, National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Doctoral Research Fellow and one of the study's lead authors in the University's School of Social and Community Medicine, said: "Given the concerns and accompanying safety warnings for these drugs these findings are reassuring for users and prescribers of smoking cessation medicines."
Professor David Gunnell concluded: "These findings support those of our earlier study2 in a larger, more comprehensive assessment of this important issue; they will be of interest to patients, prescribers and drug regulators."

Subprime credit scores are declining across the country with strong declines in a few rebounding markets, according to Atlanta-based ""Equifax,"":http://www.equifax.com/home/en_us a leading credit reporting agency.[IMAGE]
""Consumer credit scores are improving in most major metropolitan areas,"" said Trey Loughran, president of Personal Solutions at Equifax.
Designating credit scores below 620 as ""subprime,"" Equifax found the number of subprime borrowers decreased 2.1 percent from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012. The 2.1 percent translates to about 1 million Americans who rose from the subprime category.
""We are seeing a trend of consumers being careful and disciplined about their use of existing credit while also [COLUMN_BREAK]
being cautious about using new accounts they have opened,"" Loughran said.
Equifax observed the greatest improvements in markets where employment rates are strengthening. Population shifts are also impacting some markets, according to Equifax.
Equifax also found ""early housing-bust markets"" are experiencing improving credit scores as time passes since the worst of the foreclosure crisis. These markets include San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Miami.
The number of subprime borrowers in San Francisco declined 6.4 percent. In Sacramento, the number declined by 6.2 percent.
San Diego and Los Angeles experienced identical declined of about 5.3 percent.
Of the 25 metro areas Equifax measured, Chicago experienced the greatest decrease in subprime borrowers--about 9 percent.
Chicago's rising employment rate is one major factor leading to this decline.
The only metro on Equifax's list to experience an increase in the number of subprime credit scores is Houston, Texas. However, when population growth is taken into account, it is evident credit scores in Houston are improving as well.
The percentage of subprime creditors in Houston declined 0.5 percent from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012.

Getting Amazing Curly Hair
Getting Amazing Curly Hair
Three things are for sure when it comes to curly hair. Curly hair is dry. Curly hair is inconsistent. One needs a great haircut in order to have any shape. Get a grip on these three things and you too can have amazing curly hair!
Let's tackle the issue of dry hair first. We both know that your hair is sooo thirsty. Therefore, buy your products in the litre size. If the salon you frequent doesn't sell them ask them to special order the size. It will save you a bundle in the long run. Also, curl creams are fantastic. However, make sure the ones you use are not going to break the bank. I suggest using ones that last, like Moroccan Oil and Mixed Girl. Also, if you have very curly hair, leaving a little moisturizing conditioner in your hair works well.
Because curly hair is inconsistent, it is important to keep your hair well shaped. I recommend trimming and cutting the hair while it is dry. This way the stylist can see how the hair is going to fall and not worry about how much it is going to spring up once it drys. The hair can be shaped perfectly. Check out this well shaped doo:
I know that not everyone will want to wear their curls this short. The point is, there has to be shape in every haircut. Even if you choose a longer haircut for your amazing curls make sure there is some shape to it. Let's look at some longer curly haircuts.
Notice how this haircut has layers that add shape. The hair is also dried to enhance the curl. This means the hair is shaped when it is wet. Usually by scrunching, adding product or even wrapping it around your finger for shape. Then it is left to dry unencumbered.
Here is another image of amazing curly hair that is worn naturally:
This haircut looks looser on the ends because it is so long. The length of the hair weighs down the curl. It is also a bit frizzy. A smoothing serum could do wonders for this and would also add some shine. This would make this head of hair an amazing head of curly hair. Adding hair color also goes a long way in getting amazing curly hair. Here is a link to some ideas for that https://www.studio229.net/amazing-holiday-hair-color/
If you are in the market to find an amazing curly hair stylist feel free to contact studio 229. They specialize in curly hair and will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Hope to see you soon!

text: I am generally not a fan of kits/ PNP or RTF quads, especially for racing since they tend to come with lower quality parts to keep the price low and you can often get better value from custom builds. However, the FuriBee X215 is one of the exceptions, and looking at the specs it seems like it could be a solid performer. In this post I will review this quadcopter – looking over the specifications, build quality and flight performance.

Hello Hangerites!
I have a ship design that has a 1x2 'bottom' space to mount onto something. (Don't know if I have my terminology right, it's not that I have 2 studs, it's that I have space for two studs?) What's the best way to support my ship with a 'single pillar', something axley or antenna-y? So far I'm using a pair of slope 75 2x1x3s, which works certainly, but it isn't the best look.

About Slovenia
Slovenia is a relatively young country, which gained its independence in 1991. Before that, it was the most developed country of the Former Republic of Yugoslavia. It is a small but well-connected country with a favourable geographical position. It lies in the heart of Europe and borders with Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. In spite of its pocket size, it is a land of variety and boasts with four different geographical areas:
- The Alps with beautiful mountains, green valleys and crystal clear waters;
- The Mediterranean with exquisite wine, delicious cuisine and picturesque coastal places by the Adriatic sea;
- The Pannonian plain with thermal spas and spring water with an extremely high magnesium content to boost health;
- The Dinar mountain range with mysterious underground caves and deep forests bursting with life.
This is the place where you can take your morning walk and a cup of tea by an alpine lake and finish your day by enjoying your dinner and watching the sunset on a terrace by the Adriatic Sea. The weather is best May-September when days are warm and nights are cool with daytime temperatures reaching 20-30°C. Autumn and winter are usually a little chilly and wet, but still allowing a pleasant walk outside.

■ [supernova] Type II SN 2009ls : starting the rapid decline
We update the light curve of Type II SN 2009ls. The light curves show that the luminosity have evolved in the rapid decline phase. The timescale until this rapid decline would allow us to estimate the mass of the hydrogen shell.
■ [dwarf nova] Reanalysis of OT J104411.4+211307
We performed the reanalysis of the dwarf nova OT J104411.1+211307 (=CSS100217). The flux distribution in our reanalysis are well similar to that of a typical dwarf nova undergoing an outburst. We can confirm that there is an weak emission in the center of the H alpha absorption.
■ [supernova] Observations start of the Type Ic SN 2010X
We started the photometric observations of Type Ic SN 2010X. We adopted the reference magnitude of comparison star from USNO B1.0 catalog for the measuring the magnitude of SN. The preliminary results suggest that the luminosity has begun to be in decline phase. The decline rate of the light curve in the bluer bands show the more faster than those of the redder bands. We continue the observations of Type Ic SN 2010X.
■ [supernova] Spectroscopy of Type Ia SN 2010Y
We performed the spectroscopic observations of Type Ia SN 2010Y. Our spectrum shows the absorptions feature are broadened because of the expansion velocity. We confirm that the line profile is resemble of that of a typical SN Ia. The deep SiII absorption at 5800A indicates that SN 2010Y is categorized to slightly intrinsic dim object. This characteristic is corresponding to that the maximum absolute magnitude is derived as -18.1 mag from the our light curve. We cannot confirm the any features of CII 6580, which was seen at a week before maximum (reported in CBET 2168).
■ Optical transient of UGC 2773 : update
We update the light curve of the optical transient of UGC 2773.
■ [Recurrent Nova] U Sco : update
We update the light curve and spectrum of the recurrent nova U Sco.
■ [supernova] Observations Start of the Type Ia SN 2010Y : still rising !
We have started the observations of the Type Ia SN 2010Y. This SN was discovered in the nearby possible elliptical galaxy NGC 3392 (its distance modulus is 33.3.) on Feb. 8.8 (UT) by Giancarlo Cortini (reported in CBET 2168). The spectroscopic observations were performed by D. Milisavljevic and R. Fesen, reported in CBET 2168. They showed that the spectrum is similar to that of normal Type Ia SN 1994D at an week before maximum. The Carbon signature might be also seen in their spectrum. It indicates that this SN may evolve in the just days after explosions. We show the light curves of SN 2010Y in BVRcIc-band. They show the rapid rising luminosity, which does still not reach the maximum light. We will continue the observations of the Type Ia SN 2010Y.
■ [Nova] Nova Oph 2010 : update
We update the spectrum of Nova Oph 2010 obtained on Feb. 12. The profiles of emission lines don't almost seem to largely change. We continue the observations of this object.
■ [Recurrent Nova] U Sco : update
We update the photometric and spectroscopic results of the recurrent nova U Sco. The recent spectrum shows that the emission lines of the Balmer series become weak comparing to those of previous phase. The photometry indicate that the this nova evolved in the plateau phase.
■ [Nova] Nova Oph 2010 : update
We performed the spectroscopic observations of Nova Oph 2010 since Jan. 25. The strong features of Balmer series and NaID show the P-Cyg profile with weak absorptions. The FeII multiplet features are also seen in the regions around 5000-5300A. These characteristics suggest that Nova Oph 2010 is classified into the FeII class in its early phase (Williams 1992). The OI 7774, 8227, 8446 also still form the P-Cyg profile on Feb. 5. The P-Cyg profile dominated spectra continue to form for 10 days. It indicates that the ejecta of Nova Oph 2010 slowly evolved and expanded. An emission of the H alpha strongly develops with time. We will continue the spectroscopic monitoring the Nova 2010 Oph.
■ [Recurrent Nova] U Sco : update
We performed the photometric and spectroscopic observations of the recurrent nova U Sco. The light curve show that this object evolved in the plateau phase. The radiations emitted in this stage are composed to the black body temperature from the optically thick wind and the free-free emissions from the irradiations of the accretion disk on the central white dwarf. The spectrum obtained on Feb. 5 shows that an weak emission line appears at 5400A and the emissions of the HeI 5876 and 7065 simultaneously begin to weaken. The weak emissions line at 5400A is thought to be HeII, which had already been identified in the spectra obtained 6 days after the 1987 outburst (Sekiguchi et al. 1988). Such an appearance of the higher excited level line indicate that the optically thick photosphere would recede enough. We will be able to the research the higher temperature regions in the inner shell comparing to that at the previous phase.
■ [Recurrent Nova] Optical and Near-infrared Observations of U Sco : update
We have performed the optical and near-infrared observations of a recurrent nova U Sco since Jan. 28 UT. The photometric observations in optical and near-inrfared wavelength regions indicate that the luminosity show a rapid decline rate as confirmed in early phase for a very fast novae. The rapid decline of the near-infrared regions suggests that formations of a dust in the ejected material in the novae atmosphere would not occur little. Spectroscopic observations indicate that a dramatical change is confirmed in the profile in the emissions line. For example, the peak of the Balmer series show the development of the relative strength of the central component with time. The three components of the emissions line of the Balmer had been also confirmed in the spectra of the outburst in 1999. We continue the observations of the recurrent nova U Sco.
■ Optical transient in UGC 2773 : update
We update the light curve of the optical transient of UGC 2773. Recently, the light curve shows the brightening of ~ 0.5 mag in V, R, I-bands. We confirmed that the brightness of V, R, and I band simultaneously increase so that it has not been seen with last brightening.
■ [blazar] 3C 454.3 : Finish the outburst
3C 454.3 has been an outburst with the rising in the gamma-ray region. Recently, the outburst seems to have finished and to be a faint state.
■ [Recurrent Nova] U Sco spectra
We update the spectra of U Sco which was obtained Feb. 2.79. We confirmed that the spectrum clearly shows stronger emissions line of Balmer series than those obtained on the outburst date. The velocity of these emissions decreased comparing to those of previous phase. The possible Nitrogen lines became strong compared to those of previous phase. On the other hand, the strength of O I emissions line weakened. The redshifted emissions line of HeI show the decline of the velocity due to Doppler effect and narrower width than those of Jan. 28. The decline of the velocity of Hydrogen and Helium indicates that the ejected shell expands with time and we could search the physical state of the material distributed in the inner parts.

PARKDALE — In partnership with the Hood River Crag Rats Mountain Rescue Organization, the Hood River Ranger District will host free interpretive tours of the
historic Cloud Cap Inn.
This opportunity to tour the inn, discover its history, and enjoy the majesty of Mt. Hood will be offered on Sundays this summer beginning July 27, weather and road conditions permitting and will continue through Labor Day.
Tours will start at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and last approximately 45 minutes to one hour.
Each tour is limited to 12 people and reservations are required. A reservation
system protects the inn and allows visitors to experience a quality historical presentation.
Cloud Cap Inn was built to be an elite mountain retreat and is now a search and rescue base for the Hood River Crag Rats (the oldest search and rescue organization in the United States). The Hood River Crag Rats began caring for the structure in 1952 under a special use permit. Restoration of the structure, a project spanning several years, is almost complete.
Cloud Cap Inn is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. The building has endured years of extreme winters and mountain storms, and is one of the unique and exceptional destinations the Mt. Hood National Forest. The inn offers panoramic views and access to the Mt. Hood Wilderness adjacent to the site.
"Cloud Cap Inn is one of our most treasured cultural resources on the Mt. Hood National Forest," said Janeen Tervo, Hood River District Ranger. "These tours connect visitors to the rich history of our country's management of public lands, and the Inn
provides an important access point to many great recreational opportunities."
To sign up for a tour, call the Hood River Ranger
District Information Desk at 541-352-6002.

Blogger's new user format seems a bit buggy and I have trouble writing up new posts. I threw a single word "test" (because I am polite), published the "test" post, and then reverted to draft so that I can edit and write. So if you checked in earlier and found no new post, it's Blogger's fault and not mine.
I am behaving like I have PMS. Oh right, I do. No wonder I have an urge to write.
And why Blogger change my ".com" to ".sg"??? Why must insist the whole world know I am from Singapore? WHY??? I am a Second Life avatar afterall mah, I want pretend to be more international, can?
Which, brings us irrelevantly to my topic today. A Singaporean acquaintance in SL told my not-so-new-by-now Singaporean friend that Singaporeans are so "straight" in SL and talking to them is like returning to RL. Therefore, he prefers not to mingle as much with our bunch.
He was just stating an observation and not being horrid. But dude, where do you want to escape to?
And why you think Singaporeans so "straight" that we are limited to RL har?
Hellooo, I am a vampire-lycan-hybrid and I breed prims that eat up all my lindens! I build houses and furniture! Or at least, I texture prims and link them together. Do you think I can ever be a carpenter in RL?
Debbie is a glam-glam high-fashion model!
Redice is in my clan and have you seen how whacky her AV looks?
Derek builds cable cars and trains! (So jealous.)
Feng has his own bloodlines like me!
Thomaas roleplays Gor!
I can't think of anything "straight" (other than sexual orientation but that is another story) or RL-like in our SLifes, thank you very much. Not scolding you hor, just pointing out that we have what you are looking for. If you simply don't like Singlish, I can recite the Tibetan alphabet. I am only not willing to be your Gorean slave though you can be mine.
"Strip and dance, you whore!" :D
At the end of the day, we can't run from who we are. Roleplay or not, our RL personalities and burdens seep in and determine what we choose to be in SL. I am not pointing fingers, just stating an observation too.

The beautiful scenery at Baekyangsa Temple in Jangseong, Jeollanam-do.
Hello Again Everyone!!
Baekyangsa Temple is located in Naejangsan National Park in the northern most part of Jeollanam-do. It was first founded in 632 A.D. during the Baekje Dynasty. When it was first established, it was called Jeongtosa Temple. It was then changed to Baengmasa Temple. Finally, during the Goryeo Dynasty, the name of the temple changed to its present name: Baekyangsa Temple. The name of the temple, in English, means White Sheep Temple. This name refers to a legend from the Goryeo Dynasty where white sheep would come down from the mountains to listen to sermons. After listening, they gained enlightenment and were able to ascend to heaven. During Japanese occupation, the temple played a key role on the Korean peninsula. And currently, it's the 18th regional headquarters for the Jogye Order. It has an important role in educating monks in the Jeolla area.
The walk up to the temple is one of the prettiest you'll see at a temple. In fact, the temple is situated in one of the most scenic and beautiful locations in all of Korea: Naejangsan National Park. As you make your way towards the temple grounds, large red maples lead the way. You'll pass by a dammed off area of a stream that flows down from the Naejangsan mountain peaks. During the winter, it freezes over with both the Ssanggyeru pavilion and the mountain range as a framing backdrop.
Around a bend in the path, and over a bridge, you'll come to the Cheonwangmun Gate. Unusually, this gate doesn't lead straight into the temple courtyard. Instead, you'll enter from the side. The outside of the gate is adorned with a beautiful mural of the temple layout. As for the interior, there are some surreal looking Heavenly Kings. Finally, you pass by the two-story bell pavilion and the Uhwaru pavilion to gain entry to the temple courtyard. Immediately to your right is the temple's main hall, the Daeung-jeon. The main hall was rebuilt in 1917 and the exterior walls have Nahan and Buddhist motif murals adorning it. Behind the main hall is a uniquely designed nine-tier stone pagoda. As for the interior, and sitting on the main altar inside the Daeung-jeon is Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha). He's joined on either side by two slender standing statues of Munsu-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Wisdom) and Bohyun-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Power). To the right of the main altar hangs a descriptive painting of Dokseong (The Recluse). And rather uniquely, to the left, is a Nahan shrine dedicated to the Historical Disciples of the Buddha. Besides the seated statues of the Nahan, and just behind them, hang eight beautiful Palsang-do murals that describe the life of the Buddha.
In front of the main hall, and to the left, is a sectioned hall that is divided in two. The first shrine area is dedicated to Chilseong (The Seven Stars). Interestingly, and a first for me, the image of the Buddha is joined to seven images of the Chilseong statues with a golden string. The next shrine area to the left, but still in the same building, is the Josa-jeon, which houses numerous murals of former monks that once lived at Baekyangsa Temple.
Next to this unique hall is the historic Geukrak-jeon. The hall dates back to 1574, when it was built by the monk Hwaneung. While the hall is compact, it is rich with detail like the butterfly door hinges. As for the interior, and immediately when you enter the hall, you'll be greeted by the large sized statue of Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise). Hanging on the right wall is the guardian mural, while in the back corner is a white-tigered mural of Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit). The only other hall on the temple grounds that you can visit is the rather long Myeongbu-jeon, which houses Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Underworld).
Admission is 2,500 won for adults.
HOW TO GET THERE: To get to Baekyangsa Temple, you can get there from the Gwangju Intercity Bus Terminal. Buses run from 6:35 in the morning until 19:50 at night. The buses leave at an interval of 60 to 80 minutes between buses, and the bus ride will last about an hour and twenty minutes.
OVERALL RATING: 7/10. Without a doubt, the highlight to this temple is the Naejangsan National Park backdrop, where Baekyangsa Temple is located. The towering craggy peaks frame the temple with flowing streams to the east of the temple grounds. Also, the combination of halls that act as more than one shrine, as well as the historic Geukrak-jeon hall make for a beautiful outing in any season.

|Diagnosis of fetal infection in the patient with an ultrasonographically detected abnormality but a negative clinical history.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8420349 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Unsuspected fetal infection (viral or parasitic) is often overlooked as a possible cause of abnormalities revealed on ultrasonographic examination during pregnancy. Infectious agents can produce a wide spectrum of ultrasonographic findings. Our objective was to highlight those findings and review the rationale and method of antenatal investigation. No ultrasonographic findings are pathognomonic for a particular agent. The search for possible fetal infection consists of both direct and indirect techniques. Methods to directly demonstrate fetal infection include maternal-fetal serologic studies, culture, electron microscopy, and polymerase chain reaction. Emerging evidence strongly suggests that prior assumptions concerning the sensitivity of both maternal and fetal-neonatal serologic studies are incorrect. Serologic studies alone are inadequate to exclude fetal infection as a cause of an ultrasonographically detected abnormality. Indirect techniques suggestive of fetal infection include fetal hematologic and biochemical measurements. New approaches and methods for the detection of fetal infection are needed. The evaluation should be initiated antenatally. Needless delay until after delivery increases the likelihood that the diagnosis will be missed. Antenatal diagnosis provides the opportunity for therapy and often leads the practitioner to modify the obstetric and neonatal care plan. A protocol used by the University of Iowa Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Unit for the diagnosis and management of unsuspected fetal infection is offered as an example of a protocol that has been successful in the past.

Purchasing medications on the Web can be a cost effective idea, as long as you do it responsibly. Drugs like Deltasone mostly is used to solve disorders such as blood disorders. It is very slightly soluble in water. Cialis which is used to treat erectile dysfunction and similar states united to erectile disfunction. What about tadalafil online and buy tadalafil online? Our article focuses on the treatment of erectile dysfunction and buy tadalafil. Different drugstores describe it as how long does cialis last. Most folk perchance say the effectiveness of Cialis is well documented. Often when some goes wrong with your penis, it can act your sex being as well as your overall well-being. Do you wish to search for drugs, such as Cialis, online? Throw away any remedy that is outdated. For example the liquid drugs from choice must be kept in the cool place, but it may be stored at room temperature.

The South African activist and former president Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) helped bring an end to apartheid and has been a global advocate for human rights. A member of the African National Congress party beginning in the 1940s, he was a leader of both peaceful protests and armed resistance against the white minority's oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa. His actions landed him in prison for nearly three decades and made him the face of the anti-apartheid movement both within his country and internationally. Released in 1990, he participated in the eradication of apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multi-ethnic government to oversee the country's transition. after retiring from politics in 1999, he remained a devoted champion for peace and social justice in his own nation and around the world until his death in 2013 at the age of 95. Even after his imprisonment had ended, he preached compassion and forgiveness, two key components of mercy. Instead of seeking revenge on the race that condescended to him and oppressed his people, he sought after equality. This was one of the most merciful acts of the 20th century. Instead of being a mercy killer, he was a mercy leader. Leaders are known to lead by example, and in Mandela's case, he lead the nation towards a revolutionary attitude shift that was once filled to the brim with hate that is now full of compassionate, forgiving people.
"You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution." – Nelson Mandela

Food trucks in San Diego County will now strive just for more than becoming the next hit fusion food trend after a County decision Wednesday to go ahead with a new letter grading system.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved Wednesday an ordinance that would give letter grades to San Diego's food trucks.
The trucks will be subject to the same health inspection letter grades as restaurants in the fall of this year.
The nearly 550 mobile food trucks in San Diego have become increasingly popular, with each one promising something more indulgent or unique than the last. They appear at microbreweries, neighborhood music festivals and art shows.
The introduction of the ordinance adopted Wednesday will go into effect if the Board approves the rest of the ordinance next week. The Department of Environmental Health will then start working with cities to adopt the system.
All the new standards will be in place before the end of the year.
The county inspects approximately 1,100 of the region's mobile food operations, 550 of which sell to the public. However, they are not required to display the results, said County Supervisor Ron Roberts in a previous article.
"We're already inspecting these trucks, so I don't want anybody in the public to panic and think anything is unsafe," he said. "What will change is, you will know what that rating is. You will know when it was inspected."
The ordinance is supported by the San Diego County Restaurant Association. Most food truck owners say they're on board too.
Should food trucks be subject to the same health inspection letter grades as restaurants? Tell us what you think. Comment below, fan us on Facebook, mention us on Twitter @nbcsandiego, or download our improved iPhone app.
