(The second book in the Moriah's Landing series)

But evil stalked Moriah's Landing, and Katherine Ridgemont was its target. When she learned of Jonah's deep secret, Kat might not give him the time of day. Only that wouldn't stop Jonah from watching over the vulnerable beauty after dark. As the anniversary of Kat's mother's mysterious death approached, the instinct to protect became a fire in Jonah's blood. A fire matched by his determination to save the woman he loved from the unknown forces that haunted the night....

My Philosophy
"Strength doesn't come from what you can do, It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't."
About Me
I would be lying if I said fitness had always been a passion of mine. I grew up playing sports and played throughout my high school years; however, It wasn't until sports was slowly removed from my daily agenda when I began college, that I quickly realized the importance of physical activity. Soon thereafter I changed my major to Exercise Science, and committed myself to living a healthy and fit lifestyle. I have been in love with the science behind fitness ever since. I have a passion to inspire, motivate, challenge, and encourage others to reach their personal fitness goals on a daily basis. Being a personal trainer has been a very rewarding career.

WARNING: "We Must Repent and
Turn From Our Transgressions"
"'Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,' says the Lord GOD. 'Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?'" (Ezek 18:30-31)
Rather than submit to you a long list of articles, I'm going to try something new. I've picked out eight articles/videos which discuss topics which are front-and-center in our Prayer life.
Central Israel Hit by Gaza Missile Israel Today Magazine
We think we've got problems. How would you and your family like to live in Israel with these sorts of attacks happening consistently? Hamas has vowed to kidnap more Israeli soldiers, and seems intent on firing rockets randomly into any part of Israel at any time.
Meanwhile, our beloved President and his cohort in the State Department continue to bless the Muslim Palestinian Authority and Hamas (see Ps 121:4).
Greasing The Axis Of Evil Investors
Muslim Brotherhood's Plot for Global Rule CBN News VIDEO
Once again, our beloved President and his liberal colleagues are doing their best to destroy what's left of America's influence in the Middle East. Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere; he is also setting up Iraq to be taken over by Islamists. Does it matter that thousands of our American troops have died, and yet, the Taliban and other like-minded murderers will end up prevailing in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Romney So Far: No Core Beliefs, Many Flip-Flops Investors
Bold Colors And (Mitt's) Pale Pastels Investors
Mitt Romney's nomination is being portrayed as "inevitable". Do we want to nominate a slick politician who does not seem to have a strong "inner core", but rather seems to put his finger up in the wind to see which way it is blowing today? Yet, perhaps he is realistically the best chance of defeating Obama. I'm not sure myself.
More Violence From the 'Occupiers' (Oakland) FoxNews VIDEO
Jonah Goldberg on Occupy Wall Street 'Protests' C-Span VIDEO
The liberals (and especially the media) LOVE the 'Occupiers'. It's obvious to us that the movement is extremely anti-Christian, and anti-Semitic. As the two videos convey, these people are Anarchist, anti-Capitalist and anti-American. According to the Jonah Goldberg video, the most "plausible scenario is that Occupy Wall Street will turn ugly -- sorry, uglier." Rush Limbaugh believes the movement is being radicalized by Obama's friends, with the goal of creating "civil disobedience" in America and Worldwide in order to get reelected.
O'Reilly: Obama's 'Stubborn Ideology' Keeps Nation Divided Newsmax VIDEO
What can we say about a man who purposefully fulfils God's definition of "a worthless person, a wicked man"? Read Prov 6:12-19, and you will see that the President enthusiastically embraces the 6-7 things which are "Abominations" to the Lord. Note that one of them is "sowing discord". What is "class warfare" but "sowing discord" which the Lord hates?
So, what can WE do about these seemingly gigantic problems? We CAN and MUST PRAY. When possible, we CAN and MUST ACT. PASTORS, if you do not WARN your people to get engaged, the blood will be on your head as "it all comes down, as it surely will" (see Ezek 33).
In Jesus' Name,

Here is our pick for the top venues offering Blow Dry in Sydney .
Confession: we are blowout addicts. It's hard not to be addicted to glossy, voluminous locks. Dare we say it: this affordable luxury is the new lunchtime pedicure. You walk into the salon and walk out with a bounce in your hair and a spring in your step.
Book yourself in for a blowout with one of our blow-dry bars in Sydney, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You can go for straight and sleek for the urban edge, or go tousled beach waves for that carefree vibe. The only bad thing about getting a blowout is that moment when your hair falls.
Here is your day by day guide to delay the inevitable (or your next blowout):
Start with clean hair. Any dirt, oil or product residue will impact how your blow dry turns outs, and how long it will last. Concentrate on your roots where the most grime accumulates.
Put that product down. Serums and sprays will leave a residue and weigh your hair down.
You can break that product ban. If your roots are looking a little flat, use a light hairspray and round brush. If it's really humid, pull your hair back in a tight bun. You can do this if you want to work out and maintain your 'do.
Dry shampoo time. Grab a small section of your hair and mist the underside, holding the can three to hour inches away from your scalp to avoid product overload.
You're at the home stretch. Spritz your hair with a bit of water, and rough-dry. You'll get body without that extra weight, crunchiness or product build-up.
Blow-dry your hair again with a round brush to mimic the original technique. Hit the roots with a bit of dry shampoo and you've got another day without shampooing.
Rinse, lather and repeat at #Day 0: Make an appointment with one of our blow dry bars in Sydney today.

Splunk: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love log files
Log files may be the most important piece of forensic information we have when determining why a server or application crashes. However, warnings of such a distaster are available to IT administrators. They just have to know where to look (hint: what do you think log files are for?)
Looking for a repeating pattern in a list one thousand items long might seem daunting, but luckily there is help. There's no need to fear, Splunk is here.
Splunk is an amazing little web application (currently at version 3.1.3) that indexes just about any type of log file you can think of. Not only does Splunk index the information, but it presents it as a beautiful, easy-to-use, web application (purists need not worry, you can access the information from a terminal as well.) So you say, what is the big deal about searching log files? You say that you can do that with grep. That is true, but Splunk is hundreds of times more powerful and excels in four areas:
- Indexing
- Presentation
- Analysis
- Collaboration
Splunk can index logs from a number of sources:
- Files and directories
- FIFO queues (pipes)
- Network ports (syslogging directly to Splunk)
Splunk enables you to tail log files, the contents of entire directories, pipes, and even open ports for applications to send their logs directly to Splunk itself (although I recommend using a separate syslog server in order to maintain a file-based log rotation history.)
Also, Splunk is more physically appealing than grep (no offense, grep). To give you an idea of what data looks like in Splunk take a gander at this screenshot:
Looking at log files has never been so much fun!
This is where Splunk really outshines its command line competition. Imagine you wanted to comb your log files to figure out which VM has had the most number of VMotion events in your VMware Infrastructure? With Splunk that is as easy as pie — a pie chart, that is:
Splunk allows you to easily query the data using SQL in order to build complex analysis reports. And if that was not enough…
Splunk not only allows administrators to easily determine the goings-on of their servers through log file analysis, Splunk also allows administrators to share their logs with the rest of the Splunk community. Imagine this scenario: a major website's web servers are crashing and the website's administrators cannot figure out why. As an interner business, their primary point-of-sale is the web; so if their web servers go offline that is very bad. The administrators are pulling out their hair trying to figure out the problem when one of them realizes they haven't checked Splunk. Because the administrators at Amazon are participating in SplunkBase they can analyze not only their log files but also the logs of anyone else who uploads logs to Splunk's community. Bingo! They discover that the problem was a lock that was not getting destroyed.
By themselves, the administrators did not have a large enough data set to determine the problem, but because others had generated similar logs and figured out the problem already, the website admins were able to quickly resolve the issue.
I'll say it again, Splunk is great. Apart from VMware Server, Splunk may be my favorite server application to come along in the past few years. I cannot imagine running an enterprise data center without Splunk. See you on SplunkBase!

Fortune's Child
Out now on the Hyperion website, Fortune's Child is the most recent recording of Machaut's works from the Orlando Consort. As Fabrice Fitch of Gramophone notes, "five volumes in, Hyperion's Machaut series shows no sign of running out of puff." Complimenting their performance, Fitch says "the Orlandos project and enunciate Machaut's French so well that one rarely reaches for the printed text" and he is particularly impressed by Angus Smith's interpretation of 'Dou mal qui m'a longuement'. He further remarks, "as with previous volumes, the programming of this series is deeply impressive."
A Burning Heart
Available now from the Hyperion website, the Orlando Consort's latest CD, A Burning Heart, is already receiving critical acclaim. Blair Sanderson, writing for AllMusic.com, describes the Consort's singing as "wonderfully evocative and full of medieval atmosphere." While Brian Wilson, for MusicWeb International, declares: "I doubt...if either Chaucer or Chrétien could have imagined anything better than the singing on this and the other Orlando Consort Machaut recordings."
The Complete Poetry and Music of Guillaume de Machaut Volume 1 is out now!!!!
Volume 1: The Debate Poems is now available in print.
You can also enjoy the entire volume online via the Middle English Texts Website.
Edited and translated by R. Barton Palmer, with art historical commentary by Domenic Leo, and musical commentary by Uri Smilansky, the volume contains Le Jugement dou Roy de Behaigne, Le Jugement dou Roy de Navarre, and Le Lay de Plour.
The Dart of Love
Available now from the Hyperion website, The Dart of Love is second in a series of recordings by the Orlando Consort of Machaut's music. It has already received critical acclaim:
The Orlando Consort perform these works with matchless purity of tone and clarity of diction. (Limelight, Australia)
The programme is nicely varied in mood and scoring, ranging from four-voice ballades and motets to a single-voice virelai, and every combination in between … a thoughtful essay by Anne Stone makes audible sense of the many connections between the pieces on this valuable, impressive recording. (Gramophone)
The Ferrell-Vogüé Machaut Manuscript
Full colour facsimile with introductory study by Lawrence Earp, Domenic Leo and Carla Shapreau. Preface by Christopher de Hamel
"It is a vast manuscript of royal luxury, 390 leaves of parchment, 314 mm. by 220 mm., illustrated with 118 enchanting miniatures by a workshop of court illuminators led by the Master of the Bible of Jean de Sy.They include pictures of gothic chivalry and romance, with mythology and natural history. Music is included on 235 pages of the manuscript, with almost the entire corpus of the ballades, lais and motets of Machaut, as well as his great polyphonic setting of the Mass, the four-part Messe de Nostre-Dame.The manuscript has never before been photographed in its entirety or reproduced in colour."
"Vol. 1 introductory study (225 pages colour/mono), vol. 2 facsimile (789 full colour pages) on 150gsm matt art paper. Full size reproduction, hard bound in buckram, presented in hard slipcover."
Available now from DIAMM Publications.
The Art of Grafted Song: Citation and Allusion in the Age of Machaut by Yolanda Plumley
Available now from Oxford University Press.
"Presents the first detailed exploration of citational practices in the song-writing tradition of fourteenth-century France. The first monograph-length study on the Ars nova chanson with new evidence about the emergence of the new polyphonic chanson. Provides new evidence about the circle of poets and composers who engaged with Machaut and created a new style of poetry and song. Explores little studied collections of lyrics and songs of the period and provides fresh insights and perspectives on Machaut's works."
New Voir Dit CD
Available now from the Hyperion website.
This new CD from the acclaimed Orlando Consort showcases songs from Machaut's Livre dou Voir Dit ('Book of the True Tale'). The recording was inspired by collaborative work between our project team and the Orlando Consort who have been trialling the new edition being produced. You can watch a video of the consort discussing their recording on YouTube.
It has already received critical acclaim: David Fallows for Gramophone writes:
To my ears, this is a dream team, with the enormously experienced Donald Greig and Angus Smith alongside ...Matthew Venner and Mark Dobell, who display the most magnificent articulation of the texts alongside the understanding of the lines gained from their senior colleagues...always dead in tune, always beautifully balanced...the unforgettable track here is Angus Smith performing the 'Lay de Bon Esperance', over 20 minutes of unaccompanied solo singing...He's terrific.

Because sometimes what you need most is to watch the joyous moment when a young vervet monkey is reunited with his family.
His name is Pearce and he had seriously injured his leg, possibly on barbed wire, when he was spotted by a Kingsway High School student in Amanzimtoti, South Africa. The student contacted the Umsizi Vervet Rescue Center, who quickly sent out volunteers to catch the unfortunate monkey.
"We tried for three hours … but his overprotective mother would not allow us close enough to catch him by hand," Nigel Wright, a volunteer for Umsizi Vervet Rescue Center, told The Dodo. "So we came back the next morning with a metal cage that we use to trap injured monkeys."
Placing food into the cage successfully lured Pearce into the care of the rescue team, but his mother and other family members were furious to have their baby taken away.
The team worked quickly, sedating Pearce, wrapping him in a blanket, and then taking him a veterinary clinic where he received 10 stitches in his leg. Then all he needed was time to heal. But Pearce was understandably restless in captivity, so the team gave him some friendly company to help soothe him.
"Another injured 1-year-old baby was placed into the cage with him," Wright said. "He soon took this scared little girl under his wing and hugged her and held her tight, each finding comfort in each other."
Three weeks later Pearce had his stitches removed, so it was time for him to go back to his family. But vervet monkeys travel around in their troops, so first the volunteer team had to locate them, hoping they'd be somewhere in the vicinity of the high school where Pearce had been discovered.
Sure enough, the rescue team spotted his family near the school's soccer fields. At the same time the vervet family recognized the team and used aggressive displays to show their displeasure with the people who'd taken their boy away. But Pearce also recognized his family.
"Pearce showed us he was happy and that it was definitely his troop by calling to his mother and by tumbling around in his carrying cage," Wright said. "If it wasn't his troop, he would have just laid flat in the cage and pushed himself into a corner."
So the team put Pearce's cage on the ground, opened its door, and out he scampered, eager to return to his troop. And they we're overjoyed to welcome him home with hugs and pats, especially his ecstatic mama who even helped pull him up onto the roof an into her arms:
Welcome home, little monkey. And well done, members of the Umsizi Vervet Rescue Center.

Scholastic Survey with jeffstaple: Phil Annand
In the latest sit down with respected curator jeffstaple and Scholastic Survey, Madbury Club
In the latest sit down with respected curator jeffstaple and Scholastic Survey, Madbury Club mastermind and Award Tour owner/designer Phillip Annand speaks on his thoughts surrounding the current state of education within the U.S. As one of today's brightest and most promising up-and-coming creatives, Annand has long since made a splash within street culture through his T-shirt line, which he started in high school, but more so even through his highly intriguing work with creative collective Madbury Club. Watch and listen as Jeff and Phil go back and forth regarding the New Jersey native's unique background as well as hear him speak on what he thinks is a major problem with today's youth.
Education is undoubtedly a foundation of any culture and society. The very success of society hinges on a proper reinforcement that engages the people in acquiring and disseminating knowledge. Sharing a common interest in the continued focus on bringing education and learning to the forefront, HBTV and jeffstaple of Staple Design are partnering to create a new series titled Scholastic Survey which consists of online episodes exploring the importance and necessity of placing our best interests in education. In a time and place where education has been relegated to the back burner amidst budgetary cuts and misdirected spending in the United States, now more than ever is a time to look into the unrepairable damage that comes with an uneducated society.

When you find yourself no longer paying attention to a specific task or being entertained by the expanse of the internet or television (which I realize in this day n' age is fairly rare), where does your mind wander?
Sometimes it can be hard to really discern where my mood is at, so I find it interesting, at times, to allow myself a moment or two to see where my mind wanders on its own, because in my experience wherever it heads first will usually be a pretty good road sign for what my mood is doing.
Where is my subconscious steering things?
Does it make a beeline to the past?
- (Am I feeling guilty, nostalgic, pessimistic about the future, hopeful about the future, sad?)
Or does my mind wander to the future?
- (Am I feeling anxious, excited, hopeful, overwhelmed?)
Am I returning to an amusing joke or anecdote from earlier?
- (Am I feeling relaxed? Amused? Optimistic?)
Are my thoughts returning to a song that keeps repeating itself?
- (Am I having other obsessive or compulsive tendencies? Does the song have a certain emotional meaning to me?)
There are probably an infinite number of possibilities, but taking a look at a thought and considering what it means to me is usually the easiest way to figure it out.
The only thing that can be difficult about this concept is being able to step away from whatever I'm thinking at the time I'm thinking it (or even right after is fine). When I am feeling particularly overwhelmed by whatever the thoughts are, that can be hard to do, so it has helped me to practice at times where I don't find myself feeling overwhelmed by emotion in any real direction. Sometimes I'll suddenly just ask myself, "what are you thinking right now?" and the answers have been pretty astounding… I think we do a lot of thinking that we aren't necessarily aware of while we're doing it.
Likewise, I think my dreams can give me a similar sort of insight to how I am doing emotionally. I hardly ever have violent dreams or straight up nightmares when I am feeling ultra-pleasant, and last weeks dreams were stressful -pretty much a mirror to the amount of stress I was experiencing at work (needless to say, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed).
I don't normally subscribe to the idea that everything in my dreams represent something else, I just focus more on the emotions I am feeling in my dream (or the emotions I have right after waking up from them). Chances are, if I am having a dream that makes me feel anxious, I am also feeling anxious in my everyday life, I just may not have realized to what extent the anxiety was effecting me!
I've been trying to consider different ways to tap into those sort of subconscious road signs and make something of a mental map of how those areas work for me. So far it has been interesting, and I'll keep you updated as I learn more.

Your friend is getting married, and she has asked you to be a bridesmaid. She is giving you a special honor and a touching compliment. The bridesmaids are usually those closest to the bride, her close family members and her best friends. You want to show your support and appreciation to her by being there when she needs you and helping make her day special and stress free.
What is Your Role?
The role of the bridesmaid can vary slightly depending on the bride's needs, and how traditional the ceremony is going to be. The Head Maid or Matron of Honor has most of the roles in assisting with wedding planning and during the wedding day festivities. As a bridesmaid, however, you do have your role as well. You will be standing in the wedding party with your friend or family member. You will also have things to do leading up to the big day.
First, you will help the bride shop for her wedding dress and the bridesmaid's dresses. It is very important that you offer your input about color and style preferences, especially if a style or color does not work for you or indeed your Bride. Some people look pale wearing certain shades of pink, red, or orange. You want to look beautiful on the big day because your beauty will help enhance and add to the bride's beauty. Be honest with the bride about the dresses that she tries on as well. She may have her sights on something elegant, but if it does not look perfect on her, she will not be happy on her big day.
You will also assist with different aspects of planning the wedding. When asked, offer your input on decorations, colors, music, and favors. If you happen to know that the kids are enjoying certain types of party favors, let the bride know. Flower girl gifts and gifts for the pageboys are important, and meaningful gifts they will enjoy will give them lasting memories of the day.
Be ready to help the Maid of Honor plan the bridal shower and Hen Party. You may be asked to chip in for expenses for either event. If you are able to assist, be sure to save money aside for those events as well as your own gift for the bride. If you cannot assist financially, ask the Maid of Honor what else you can do to chip in instead. She will appreciate it and you will feel like an active part of the wedding planning.
At the wedding reception, be social. Speak to as many guests as you can, help introduce people, and guide guests to the guest book and be ready to help with the special moments, such as the cake cutting. Do not forget you will have an important role before the ceremony as well. You will help get the bride ready for her day and keep her calm. It is also a good idea to assist the Maid of Honor in making sure the bride remembers to eat, as many forget that in the excitement of the day.
The bride has given you a big honor and shown you how special you are by including you as an active participant in one of the most important days of her life. Enjoy your role as bridesmaid. Be there for your friend and most importantly, enjoy the excitement and the festivities.

The White House (at Crawford) speaks
WASHINGTON - Deputy White House Press Secretary Gordon Johndroe said Tuesday that while the US would like to see an end to the Israeli offensive in Gaza, Hamas would first have to stop firing rockets at Israel.
People who believe their own hype will come to a bad end
If Israel wanted peace, there would be peace. It is really as simple as that, because Israel always gets what Israel wants.
Look at the maps. The maps don't lie, only the people do. There is precious little the Palestinians can give up but their lives, at this point. And that seems to be just fine with Israel, because Israel does not want peace. Israel does not want to share the land with the Palestinians. Not after 60 years. Not ever.
Israel always gets what Israel wants. And everybody knows it. And they will continue to carve up the Palestinians until they have satisfactorily carved themselves clean out of the human race.
And then humanity will say, "I know you not."

Are You Prepared If Your Bank Fails?
Small locally owned banks aren't in trouble and are not beholding to Wall Street, nor to the criminals at the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank .
The large multi national global corporations and entities which seek to nationalize private property and make us all dependent debt slaves have lost control of the current economic situation.
The proof of this is in the overnight interest rate and the artificially controlled prices of oil, gold, and silver.
Stored food, guns, ammo, land, gold, strong community ties, silver, livestock, energy independence and the skills of self reliance are the foundations of security and real freedom.
Our ancestors knew this.

"Perfecting" the Imperfect
Science fiction writer and futurist, Arthur C. Clarke, stated in his "laws" of prediction that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," and it's this "magic," which is the science behind the advanced technology unknown to the general public, that is being developed and perfected, not to free humanity but enslave and ultimately destroy it.
People in the Western nations are constantly being beat over the head with well-funded propaganda designed to instill in their minds hope of a cure for cancer and AIDS. Well-meaning but painfully naive people driven by fear and emotion will then donate their hard-earned money to what they think is a noble cause, not knowing that these donations are going to the very same government-linked institutions that gave us AIDS and are working to create -- not cure -- even faster-acting cancer viruses and plagues; the former being unleashed from the tip of a needle, with the latter waiting in some government laboratory to be released at a time seen fit by the psychopathic controllers on an oblivious public (no doubt to be blamed on some Middle Eastern patsies).

Tzipora Livni is Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
She is the daughter of Eitan Livni, born in Poland, and Sara Rosenberg, both of whom were members of the anti-British, Jewish terrorist organisation called Irgun.
Journalist Louis Heren (Media Lens Israel's New Foreign Minister.) wrote in The Times, 11 February 1992:
"Eitan Livni was not a leader of a militant Jewish independence movement.
"The Irgun Zwai Leumi was a terrorist oganization, and a particularly nasty one.
"Even its defenders, who argued that the end could justify the means at decisive moments in history, were horrified by the massacre at Deir Yassin and the hanging of the British sergeants."
Irgun killed British people.
Would They Be Planning to Use Troops Against Americans If They Weren't Stealing Our Money
Political science professor at the University of Texas at El Paso Charles Boehmer points out that "The military was not called out during the Great Depression...."
So why is the military planning on how to crush civil protest in regards to the current economic crisis (see this, this, this, this, this and this)?
Is it because the theft - via "bailouts" and other hanky-panky by Treasury, the Fed and others - of hard-earned taxpayer wealth is so obvious that the military expects Americans to revolt?
The other potential explanation is that the military has been told that this financial crisis could be much, much worse than the Great Depression.
So which is it? The obviousness of the theft or the severity of the crisis?
My guess . . . both
Bankers Connected to Madoff's Ponzi Scheme Dying Strange Deaths
Right, these "suicides" are not related to the 50 BILLION dollars that Madoff scammed from his investors with help from various bankers.
And just because some of that money wound up in Israel is no cause for alarm.
It's just a series of odd "coincidences" that always seem to pop up anytime that SLC on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean appears involved in some illegal scheme.
Look at it this way: If a gang of armed thugs robbed a bank for $20,000, they'd probably have no qualms about shooting some people to make their escape.
So how many people do you think a well armed gang of vicious thugs would be willing to kill to steal 50 BILLION DOLLARS?
Please Help the Victims of the Madoff Natural Disaster
Millions of wealthy Jewish Americans are now in peril. If you don't contribute they may perish(probably 6 million). Your help is now urgently needed.

Jewish GPS car tax by the mile in USA

This GPS tracker will spy on your location, who who associate with, where you family lives, when you're away from home, how to blackmail you. This includes GPS traffic tickets by mail, with mass firings of 100,000s of police (not a bad thing?). All operated by foreign military contractors for their shareholders' profit, just like Redflex. This is why insane Big Brother must be stopped at any cost, and all governors who implement this treason must be immediately arrested by police, or by citizen's arrest:

On Dec. 12, retired military leaders from Taiwan and China met at the first symposium on Sun Yat-sen Thought and the Whampoa Spirit at the 2010 Cross-strait Sun Yat-sen Forum.
Participants from Taiwan included former director of National Defense University, General Hsia Yin-chou (夏瀛洲), former military adviser to the Presidential Office and former director of the General Political Warfare Bureau Tsao Wen-shen (曹文生), former navy commander-in-chief Admiral Miao Yung-ching (苗永慶), former deputy air force commander-in-chief Lee Kui-fa (李貴發), and former president of the Graduate Institute of Strategic Studies at National Defense University Tseng Chang-jui (曾章瑞).
The Chinese participants included former deputy director of the technological research department at China's National Defense University Wu Guifu (武桂馥), former director of the Institute for Strategic Studies at National Defense University Pan Zhenqiang (潘振強), former director of the Department of Strategic Research at the Chinese Academy of Military Science Yao Youzhi (姚有志), deputy director of the Department for Foreign Military Studies at the Chinese Academy of Military Science Fu Liqun (傅立群) and researcher at the Department of Strategic Studies at the Chinese Academy of Military Science Peng Guangqian (彭光謙).
This gathering grabbed the attention of officials and the media in Taiwan, the US and Japan.
Recently there has been a change in the domestic view of cross-strait affairs. When former National Security Council secretary-general Su Chi (蘇起) and Charles Kao (高希均), founder and chief executive of Commonwealth Publishing Group, participated in a Harvard University Forum in late May, they quoted an opinion survey by CommonWealth Magazine showing that after the signing of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), 53 percent of respondents agreed that it was still necessary to purchase better defensive weapons from the US. That was an increase of 5 percent on the previous year.
Although President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) has on several occasions demanded that China remove the missiles it aims at Taiwan, both the incumbent and former national defense ministers have told the legislature that doing so "is of no substantial military significance." Quite a few domestic and external observers are already questioning Ma's actions. In February US military expert Richard Fisher said that the Ma administration's national defense policies lacked both pragmatism and vision and Mei Fu-hsing (梅復興), director of the US-based Taiwan Security -Analysis Center, has penned articles questioning the government's use of the US administration's indecision over arms sales as a bargaining chip.
It is worth noting that according to the transcript of a meeting between US Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg and former Singaporean prime minister Lee Kuan Yew (李光耀) on May 30 last year recently made public by WikiLeaks, Lee said that Chinese President Hu Jintao (胡錦濤) would be pragmatic on Taiwan, believing that the key is to first build economic links.
This corroborates what former deputy minister of national defense Lin Chong-pin (林中斌) said at a forum on Taiwan Strait security and mutual trust in June, namely that Beijing has realized that "it is cheaper to buy Taiwan than to attack it."
Another thing worthy of note is that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) made was less critical of cross-strait affairs during the recent special municipality election campaigns than it has been in the past, and once they were over the DPP announced its intention to establish a think tank aimed at initiating exchanges with China. This implies an acceptance that regardless of which party holds power, cross-strait exchange is now an unstoppable trend.

With benefits making up about a third of total compensation costs, it's important that employers get the most out of them. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average health insurance cost per employee per hour has gone up by about a third in the past 10 years, and employers are looking for ways to manage that cost. SHRM's 2017 Employee Benefits Report highlights some of the trends, especially when dealing with health insurance. Here's what you need to know.
Employers Balance Offerings With Costs
Employers have had to cut back on some coverage options to control costs, such as by reducing coverage for spouses and partners in some cases. Employers also charge higher premiums and offer high-deductible plans, which often offer less coverage, to pass on some cost responsibility to employees. At the same time, employers are increasingly helping employees manage costs through Health Savings Accounts and other accounts.
While the use of medical Flexible Spending Accounts has dropped from 72 percent in 2013 to 63 percent in 2017, the use of HSAs has risen from 42 percent to 55 percent over the same period. Employer contributions to HSAs have also risen; 26 percent of employers offered contributions to HSAs in 2013, while 36 percent did so in 2017. If your organization has made the move to high-deductible plans, make sure you also offer ways for employees to save for healthcare costs.
Wellness Programs Help Lower Costs
Employers have long used wellness programs to give employees the tools they need to improve their overall health in the hopes of affecting healthcare costs. And it seems to be working: The report found that 77 percent of organizations said their wellness programs were somewhat or very effective in reducing healthcare costs. In addition, 88 percent said their wellness programs were somewhat or very effective in improving employee health.
Examine your wellness program to ensure it's doing all it can to help address healthcare costs. You may need to expand it, or use surcharges on some wellness issues, such as charging employees who smoke more for their coverage, to make up any cost increases. The report found that 19 percent of companies add a smoking surcharge to healthcare premiums.
Benchmarks and Surveys Find the Best Value Point
Benefits play a large role in job satisfaction and retention: The report found that while almost 90 percent of employees are at least somewhat satisfied with their jobs, 2 out of 5 are considering whether to look for another job in the next 12 months. And the top reason for looking for an external position was higher compensation and pay, followed by better overall benefits.
When trying to balance health insurance with cost, benchmarking is a great tool to help ensure your benefits compare favorably with your competitors'. In addition, periodically surveying employees can help you understand understanding what they value so you can build packages that provide the best balance for everyone.

Italian done right at Messina
A few general rules apply in the kitchen of Messina.
The only olive oil is extra virgin. The only vinegar is balsamic. And the grated cheese of choice is Parmigiano-Reggiano.
So, yeah, this place fits the profile of an Italian restaurant, as if any doubt remained after I saw the Roman mural painted on the dining room wall.
The inside looks like something you'd see in a north Jersey suburb - a noisy, brightly lit pizza shop next to a subdued, shadowy Italian restaurant. One wall separates the two contrasting environments, which allows Messina to serve all of your Italian needs. You can order a pizza to go, eat an inexpensive sub and fries for lunch, or have a more formal dinner.
My experience fell somewhere in between. I sat in the pizza shop and ordered an entrée, which came with a salad. The house Italian dressing offered a pleasant surprise. It resembled balsamic vinaigrette more than anything, which was fine by me. The greens fell short of optimal freshness, making them somewhat bland, but the perfectly blended dressing made up for it.
My cheese ravioli arrived with a pleasing coat of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano over the red sauce. A basket with two thin slices of crunchy garlic bread came with it.
As a hater of chain Italian restaurants - no offense to any fans out there - I like my pasta dishes unapologetically Italian, not toned down for mass appeal. I want to taste the oil in the marinara and smell the buttery garlic on the bread.
At Messina, I did. The fruity olive flavor announced itself with every chunky bite. And I sopped up the remaining red sauce with the aromatic bread.
Messina makes the marinara with canned tomatoes enhanced with olive oil, onions and fresh basil grown on a kitchen window sill, said co-owner, cook and Sicilian native Pat Ferrante. The other sauces - including marsala, alfredo and lemon, butter and garlic - are made à la carte.
I believe my experience at Messina only scratched the surface on this restaurant. There are many interesting sandwiches to try, such as the bomburger (grilled ham and American cheese) or the deviled burger (a ground beef patty topped with a hot sauce made by co-owner Peter Ferrante, also a Sicilian). Although a bit pricier, the lasagna made with hand-rolled pasta ($11.95) was among the intriguing dinner items, motivation for a return visit to this richly Italian locale.

How to Remove the Camera Shutter Sound on an iPhone
With an integrated iSight camera, the iPhone allows you to take pictures and video, including advanced features such as panoramic shots. As all iPhone owners know, the included camera makes a distinctive shutter sound every time you snap a picture. You can disable this sound through the Settings menu by muting the ringer and alerts volume. When you're done taking pictures, restore the volume to hear other alerts.
Step 1
Access the Settings menu by tapping on the icon in the main screen.
Step 2
Select "Sounds" from the Settings menu.
Step 3
Slide the volume bar for Ringer and Alerts all the way to the left to turn the volume of the shutter sound all the way down.
Step 4
Save your changes and exit the menu by tapping on the "Home" button. Restore the volume by reentering the settings menu and sliding the bar to the right after taking your pictures.
- Although ringer and message alerts are individually customizeable, the iPhone does not allow you to individually disable the camera shutter sound.

An Afternoon Tea Cake Fit For A Dame
Barilla's Bolognese sauce makes this week night winter warmer that much simpler.
Ever since Audrey Hepburn's Princess Ann, was swept off her feet on a Vespa by Gregory Peck's Joe Bradley in A Roman Holiday, we too have become enamoured with the idea of being swept up in a chance encounter in the Eternal City of Rome. Perhaps because an Ancient City like Rome is the home of countless myths and legends, or because we have seen these chance encounters in this Historic City played out again and again on the big screen. From Anita Ekberg's sizzling rendezvous with Marcello Mastroianni in La Dolce Vita, to Lizzie McGuire's chance encounter with Paolo Valisari in The Lizzie McGuire Movie (yes, I'm a 90's baby and as a tween, that Vespa sequence was cinematography at its finest) – it just seems that if you're ever going to meet "the somebody" or "a somebody" by chance, it will most likely happen in Roma. As Dean Martin famously crooned "the beginning has just begun when the sun goes down…on an evening in Roma".

Firearm manufacturers encode a great deal of information into the individual serial numbers with which they stamp their product. Much like vehicle identification numbers, serial numbers on firearms reveal detailed information such as the make and model of the firearm, when and where it was manufactured and any customizations made to the firearm. This same serial number is used by law enforcement offices to register the firearm each time it transfers to another owner. Unfortunately for consumers who are curious about their firearm's history, these codes are unique to each manufacturer and cannot be deciphered without additional information.
Step 1
Find the serial number on your firearm. Each manufacturer places the serial number in a different location. You may need to use a magnifying glass if the serial number is in a difficult-to-read location. Some are easier to find than others. Browning, for example, lists the serial number in the owner's manual sold with each firearm.
Step 2
Visit the manufacturer's website and search for firearm dating charts. Most manufacturers now offer these charts to decode their unique serial numbers.
Step 3
Contact your manufacturer by phone if you cannot locate a dating chart online. Customer service will be able to walk you through decoding your serial number to determine your firearm's manufacturing date.

Helpful research paper writing tutorials
When brainstorming uncommon technology research topics, you will want to check the most current sources to find the most cutting information possible. There are many publications and department worldwide with Internet accessible research, which you can use to develop a successful research paper. Some interesting uncommon technology topics include:
Renewable energy is not uncommon in our modern society, but it is still less common than traditional nonrenewal energy sources. Oceanic energy is a recent trial researched by the University of Washington. It is believed that the constant flow of the ocean could be harnessed by ocean floor mats, sending this energy to the ocean's surface. This energy would then be used as power.
Carbon fiber is used in many products and technologies as a durable yet lightweight material. Recently, carbon fiber gladiators suits have been introduced to the market. These suits will allow the most serious live action role play, and dueling be to commence with the safest technology.
Team members at Google have introduced their own pair of glasses, Google Glass. Now, these are certainly not your regular old glasses. With this uncommon technology, limited users have been able to access to features like hands free SMS and limitless Internet browsing—all built into the lens of your Google Glasses.
Swiss health providers, Novartis, and Google are coming together to create the most uncommon of technologies, a smart contact lens. The electronically powered contact lens supposedly will be put in your eye regularly, but has technological abilities. It will possibly be capable of monitoring glucose of those with Diabetes, as well as assist in focusing on particular objects.
Robots are inevitable coming. We already have automated phone systems and other electronically powered services, so it is only a matter of time before menial jobs are replaced by robotic power. We have already seen this influence with technology like the robot created at Georgia Institute of Technology, capable of play angry birds, assisting disabled students to learn in the process.
When writing about uncommon technologies, these technologies will likely be more recent developments. The possible topics for you to write about will be changing constantly, with many developments. Read current publications and research conducted by individuals, organizations and universities to find the most cutting edge and uncommon technology to present in your research paper.

Fischer Ranger 90 Ti 2017 - 2016 Review by A Better Ski
I have really enjoyed every Ranger I have skied from Fischer and the Fischer Ranger 90 Ti is no exception. The whole series feels so smooth and stable while still offering a really fun, exciting, and versatile ride. Spending almost all of my time skiing out west, I tend to prefer a wider ski like the Ranger 108ti, but it's actually quite refreshing to ski a narrow all-mountain ski with better carving ability from time to time. The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti is smooth and stable like the 108 and 98, but has the added ease of initiation, quickness, and edginess of a carver.
Fischer Ranger 90 Ti On-Mountain Video Ski Review
Jacket: Trew Cosmic Pants: The North Face Sickline Goggle: Smith I/O
Boots: Rossignol Alias Sensor 120
Bindings: Tyrolia Aaattack 13
Size: 179cm
Riders: Matt
Conditions: Soft Chop, Groomed, Hard Pack, 5″ fresh
Ski Personality: The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti is kind of a light-weight and very smooth all-mountain charger. It has the feel of a big mountain ski, but with it's narrower base and light weight it feels far easier to ski. It just feels like a fun and easy going racehorse.
On the Snow Feel: The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti is a fairly stable ski with a nice light-weight and maneuverable feel.
Powder: The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti has a pretty big amount of rocker in tip and tail, making it a bit easy to swing in deeper snow. There is still a lot of camber underfoot, but in the right conditions the ski can feel semi-loose or surfy. The downside is that the ski is relatively stiff and pretty narrow (90mm) underfoot. The ski planes well for it's size, but it's not really a ski for deep days.
Turn Initiation and Carving: I'm really becoming a big fan of skis that feel relatively light-weight and yet have a lot of torsional stiffness. The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti fits into this category, and just feels so smooth and easy-going and yet has big time power and stability. The Ranger 90 Ti is a relatively stiff ski, and I wouldn't necessarily call it overly forgiving. Still, I found it petty easy to tip this ski on edge, and thanks to a big amount of tip and tail rocker, it doesn't take a really high edge angle to engage the ski. I think what I loved most about the Ranger 90 ti was just how smooth initiation felt. On edge, the ski was just as smooth and stable. I really enjoyed lengthening my turns and picking up some speed. When I really laid into it, I could bend the ski enough for a lively and energetic rebound. The ski does have a pretty big amount of rocker in the tail, and although I felt like it stayed pretty locked in, it doesn't have the same powerful exit as other more directional skis. Still, there's some power underfoot, and it was easy to get the ski from edge to edge. Again, for me, I think the biggest takeaway was just how smooth the ski felt carving turns. It was easy to initiate, easy to transition, and yet held the turn really well. It's not overly energetic or powerful, but it's still a very capable carver.
Speed: The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti feels smooth, damp, stable, and predictable. It really seems to handle speed well, and even when straightening things out and going really fast the ski remained steadfast. Again, all I could think of was how smooth and stable the ski felt. It doesn't have the highest top end of the category, but it's definitely solid at speed.
Uneven/Variable Terrain: The Fischer Ranger 90 Ti really does a solid job of absorbing the terrain. In soft shallow chop, it was quite easy to float over the top and the ski really does seem to smooth things out. It has enough torsional stiffness to cut through soft chop well, and even when carving at higher speeds in tracked out snow, the ski wouldn't deflect of chatter. Again, I kept thinking this is so smooth and stable. However, the Ranger 90 ti does have its limitations. This ski is only 90mm wide, and won't smooth out the terrain as well as the 108. If you spend more time in shallow chop the 90 will be ok, but in deeper tracked out of chopped up snow, it may get a bit out of place.
Bottom Line: The entire time I was skiing the Fischer Ranger 90 Ti I kept thinking about how smooth and stable the ski felt. It almost had this easy-going and laid back feel that could make for a really great hangover ski. Yes, it's not fantastic in chop or at super high speeds, but it's quite impressive how well it holds up in both scenario, given that it has such an easy-going personality. I also want to make sure that saying it's easy-going doesn't mean I'm saying it's a boring ski. It's quite the opposite. It has a fun and lively feel on groomers. Sure it prefers mid to long radius turns, but it can be nimble and maneuverable as well. It's not super quick from edge to edge, nor is it overly powerful, but it blends power and energy quite well with it's smoothness. Sure intermediate skiers will probably be able to ski the Fischer Ranger 90 ti, but I Think it will really cater to advanced to expert skiers. Especially those who have a big more laid back carving style. You want to ski fast, you want to carve, but you're not the aggressive ex racer who wants to drive the skis aggressively on every turn.

Hello and welcome to the brand new Kotaku UK. It's still the Kotaku you know, but in addition to all the great stuff that comes out of the US, we'll be bringing you original posts during UK hours, and rejigging things a little so that news, deals and spellings are more relevant to you. It's Kotaku, then, but MORE. That's got to be a good thing.
My name is Keza MacDonald, and I'm the Editor of Kotaku UK. I spent the last two and a half years as IGN's UK Games Editor, and before that I spent more than six years writing for pretty much every games outlet around, from Eurogamer to VG247 to Edge magazine. I've been a games critic, writer and reporter for almost nine years now and it's in my blood. I'm massively excited about this whole thing, and I'm sure you're going to like what we do here.
The guy in the picture who isn't Keanu is Leon Hurley, our News Editor, who's spent the last MANY years with Official PlayStation's magazine and website - before that he was a teacher, and before that he was a scientist. Most of what you see on the site will come from us, but we'll also be working with a huge selection of other talented writers - our contributors list is right here.
Kotaku is about three things for me: original reporting, gaming culture, and humour. It's about seeing games differently. The fact that Kotaku doesn't rely on review scores and exclusive previews means that we can cover games differently, too.
What's the point of a UK Kotaku?
This is a very pertinent question in the age of the internet - if we can access anything from anywhere, what's the point in localisation?
For me it's about relevance, access, and community. Relevance is about more than just changing spellings (though we'll be doing that, too) - it's about cultural reference points, and reporting on things that matter to UK readers. English-speaking internet can be very US-centric. I don't know about you, but that sometimes makes me feel either ignored or alienated by the big US games sites.
Access is the major editorial reason for running a UK-based site. Because we're based in Europe, we can visit studios that are half the world away for our American colleagues. We've not just got a fascinating games scene here in Britain, we've got a whole continent's worth of stories to explore. Having a UK-based team helps flesh out Kotaku's overall editorial capabilities. We also sometimes see things a little differently from a UK perspective, and more perspectives is a valuable thing for any site.
Community, meanwhile, means providing somewhere where British Kotaku fans can feel at home. Leon and I will be spending a lot of time in the comments, on our Facebook and on Twitter. We hope you'll join us there.
The business reason for running a Kotaku UK, of course, is that the publisher (that's Future PLC, which also runs Gizmodo UK and loads of its own games websites, like CVG and GamesRadar) gets to sell ads in the UK market. But that's not really my area. Kotaku UK isn't an ad farm; I fully intend it to be a major force in the games media. I didn't sign up for this to do things lazily.
I'm confused - is Kotaku UK a separate site, or will you be working with Kotaku US?
Basically, Kotaku UK is licensed by Future Publishing, so it is run by a different publisher - Kotaku US, obviously, is part of Gawker. We also don't use the Kinja platform - the site looks very different. In that sense they are separate sites. But editorially, we will all be working together and keeping in close communication. Here in Europe we get the opportunity to cover things that the US can't, and vice versa. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.
Will I still see all the US content?
Yes - at least, almost all of it. We'll be getting rid of the US-centric deals posts, and the very occasional posts that aren't UK-relevant (say, about an NHL mascot or a new flavour of Cheetos) won't appear. As for Kotaku East and other off-topic posts, which currently dominate during UK hours because of how the timezones work, we'll be spacing those throughout the day so we can refocus the site on gaming. We'll also be localising things like prices and spellings. Games are a global pastime, though, so the vast majority of Kotaku US' posts will appear here, too. Likewise, you'll see much of our original features and reporting on Kotaku US.
What kind of original work will you be doing?
All sorts. Our first few week's features include a report on the best games coming out of the UK this year, a feature about Islamic art in video games, an investigation into why fanboys behave like such jerks, and a terrifying-but-fascinating look at bionic limbs. We'll be posting news, too, and pictures, videos and links from around the Internet. Everything you'd expect from Kotaku, really.
It looks like you aren't using the Kinja platform - how will comments work? Can I use my existing comments account on Kotaku UK?
Sadly no - this is the one thing we can't really get around. We're using Disqus for comments here, so it's a totally separate system from the US site. I appreciate that many of you have been using Kinja for years and won't want to be cut off from that community - that's totally cool. Of course you can choose to visit the US site instead by bookmarking us.kotaku.com.
Will this result in a bunch of broken links and 404s?
No, it won't - the redirect doesn't apply to individual articles you might click on from Twitter, and we'll be changing all backlinks to make sure that nothing bad happens. Nothing will be broken. Promise.
YOU LIED! A bit of your site is broken.
… bollocks. I'm really, really hoping we get through this launch without any gigantic technical catastrophes, but if there are any teething troubles, please forgive us, and if you'd like to email us on email@example.com to let us know if something's broken, that would be hugely appreciated.
Any jobs going?
Nothing full-time, but I am always looking for contributors. Email me to get in touch. I'll need examples of other stuff you've had published - or, failing that, examples of your written/video badassery.
You guys seem nice, but I'd still rather visit the US Kotaku.
That's totally fine; it's your choice, after all. Bookmark us.kotaku.com and you will always be taken straight to the US site, circumventing the redirect. There's also a little geo-selector down in the footer. I hope you'll stick with us, though.If you want to continue reading the US site along with the UK, bookmark this UK-stories-only tag-page here
If you've any more questions, we'll answer them in the comments - or you can get ahold of me and Leon by emailing us (our addresses are on the contact page). And one last time: welcome. I hope you like it here.
(Wondering who drew our launch character artwork? It was the awesome Chris Gerringer of Paper Beats Scissors.)
Keza MacDonald is Kotaku UK's Editor, currently working through a debilitating addiction to FTL on the iPad. Follow her on Twitter, if you're into that.
