Following on from my last post, a few people emailed me to say it was a great idea to hate on Linda Paris. But that's not what I did. I never said I hated her. I just called her out as a typical hate filled blogger with nothing better to do than hate on Caylee's mom… and encourage as many people as possible to do the same.
I fail to see the logic in all of that. It can never achieve anything.
But it's gotta be said – she does have one heck of hate filled & twisted blog – and she may say the same about mine. Whatever. It makes little difference. We are all doing what we're supposed to be doing after all.
The thing is, the Paris blog is over-brimming with hate, hate filled comments, photo-shopped pics & death threats, whereas mine if filled with facts and strives for justice. As I've said 1,000 time before – We are not here to hate on anyone, nor have I ever claimed to hate anyone in any posts since day 1.
Hating sucks after all. In fact I'm not aware of anything that has ever been accomplished by hating. Have you? I doubt it.
Sure enough, I may hate the way some people go about things and some of the stuff they say, but I do not hate them. The only thing we can do with those people is feel sorry for them, and hope they manage to see the light and turn their lives around at some point. I don't necessarily think they all hate Casey per se… nor do I believe "99% of the population" are Casey haters either.
There are a lot of them… sure there are… but nowhere near as many as the media would like to think there are. Those numbers are also dwindling fast, as more and more people decide to do their own research by reading Jose's book (and visiting this site)… and they finally get to enlighten themselves on the inside story of what actually happened during the trial.
I also think that with the majority of the Haters are just so pissed off with their own lives that they have to take their frustrations out on something else (or someone else) – so they take the easy route and take it out on Casey.
Here's an excerpt from "Casey Anthony – Beyond A Reasonable Doubt", (C.V. Conner):
"Change is always possible. It takes courage, but hatred can always be rerouted to love. No thought or action is without consequences. While it seems difficult to get beyond the media and public frenzy of hate towards Casey Anthony, we have the power to offer something transformative.
The world needs positive energy, compassion and love. Just as anger attracts more anger, the same is true with loving energy. Love is stronger than hate. This is another incredible opportunity to rise above hatred and raise the energy level of humanity and do it one person at a time."
That says it all.
As for the people out there that still think Casey "did it", I still can't see why or how they would still be clinging to that illusion, unless they totally missed the trial and just relied on the wayward opinions of the talking heads for the past 3+ years.
Chloroform? Duct tape? Heart-shaped stickers? Casey riding around with Cays decomping in the trunk? 31 nights of non-stop partying? WTF? If that had happened, it would have been a walk in the park for Lin Possible & The Laughing Guy to prove their case. But it wasn't. Instead, all they had was a bunch of fantasy forensics, junk science, wayward suppositions… and a bunch of experts with very dubious credentials… oh, and a can of hot air to boot. Yeah right.
To finish off this post, I have to highlight one Hater in particular. He's been sending me very strange emails & threats for a long while now. I also noticed him trolling on Facebook a while back too with multiple accounts. As far as I can see, he initially got started on his quest courtesy of Linda Paris' blog. This again is a typical example of like attracting like, and the universe giving you back the same as you put out there. It's the same reason people who complain about being poor all the time are always broke – but I digresss,,,
So… this was one of his earlier posts to Linda:
"Who runs this K***4Caylee page ? Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I would love to talk to you and thank you. Im still as livid as you are and would love to talk . Thanks, Mike."
This is one of the emails he sent to me this past weekend, in all its glory
firstname.lastname@example.com: "Im coming to get you muther fucker i know your name now too and where you live ! I know who you aare and i am gonna fuck you up muther fucker you wait ! you piece of fuckin shit Im comin for you muther fucker"
OMG! It really disgusts me to see so many typos, punctuation & grammatical errors in one email!
Anyways, it turns out I managed to get hold of all his details quite easily. Here they are:
Michael C Sobka (email@example.com)
43 years old
Fireman at Union Fire Dept (Public Safety)
24 Kerr Ave, Lavallette, NJ 08735-2137
(732) 830-8322 / (908) 687-****
LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/michael-sobka/6/b84/3a
FB: http://www.facebook.com/michael.sobka
And no… I'm not wasting valuable blog-space or giving him any free publicity by posting this. I'm just once again highlighting the stupidity of the Haters – or in this case, one in particular. Karma will catch up with him in the end, if it hasn't already.
In the meantime, we plough on with our quest for justice – that being the ultimate conviction of George Anthony for the murder of Caylee Anthony on June 16th 2008. Do I hate George Anthony? No. I just see him as a slimy & perverted son of a bitch – and someone that was way too eager to throw his own daughter under the bus for a crime he committed himself. That's all.
As always. feel free to post your thoughts, comments & general musings below.
Have an awesome day!

I cast on for my first sock this weekend. I've seen so many gorgeous patterns online lately that I just couldn't resist. Plus, it seems like the best colorways are in sock yarns! You don't believe me? I present you evidence here and here.
For my first sock endeavor, I decided on the Beginner's Lightweight Socks. I got the pattern at my LYS this weekend, and waited 0.3 seconds between getting home and casting on for them.
I'm using Trekking XXL in blues/teal and size 2 needles. So far, so good. I'm used to using bigger needles (size 6 is usually the smallest I go), so doing this feels almost like knitting with toothpicks. I picked a darker color hoping that it might hide some of my mistakes a bit better. That has the potential of being really faulty logic, but that's a discovery for another day.
(And no! That knitting is not being photographed on the desk I use at my internship. Not at all! Because knitting while I should be working is bad. Bad, I say!)

Are Asian Mail Order Brides the Best Wives?
Time flies, and now we can order things online without the need to leave our flat and even stand up from the sofa. Moreover, now the various sources offer the most unexpected service, and you can even find your other half on the Internet.
A digital romance is possible, love can truly wait for you online, on the dating websites. There have already been millions of proofs for that, and you can easily find a lot of successful love stories to kill the doubts.
The popular practice of mail order bride, or buying the bride online as it is sometimes called, burns the hope of many men to find their perfect lady from abroad.
But Do You Really Buy A Wife?
The first thing to clarify is — no, you're not. It is the 21st century, come on, we don't just buy people! Mail order bride means that you pay for the services dating sites provide. It usually helps to establish the contact between you and a woman you like, and in general, it makes it possible for you to date someone from another continent.
Asian dating venues take a big part of this market, because the male interest for Eastern beauties is big, and it is still growing rapidly. There is something special about those girls and women from Japan, China, Korea, the Philippines, because they can charm and enchant nearly anybody.
If you are among those who appreciate girls from Asia if you are not afraid of a long-distance relationship, and if you are ready to try and get yourself an Asian wife, let's go on and reveal the secrets of their attractiveness!
The Myths We Know About Asian Singles
None of the nations have avoided the honor of being stereotyped. Here we can see that the same features are attributed to many countries at once, uniting them with some ridiculous negative stereotypes and mispresenting their citizens. Asian women have also got under this myth attack, and we will go through the most well-known to bust them.
- Myth #1. Asian singles don't know the language. It is a common thought that women from Eastern countries know only their mother tongue and have to skills in any other languages. As you understand, it is quite an outrageous opinion, because the majority of Asian ladies, on the contrary, are very educated and smart, and know more than two languages at least. Maybe this disturbing stereotype was born because of the existence of translating services into the dating apps. Whatever it was, the reason didn't manage to excuse this fact. If you ever dare to talk to an average Chinese or Japanese woman (just as an example), you will see that her level of English is quite satisfactory. And, surprisingly, even if it appears to be bad, she is very likely to go on trying to speak it! Not simply give up and repeating: «Sorry, I don't understand», but making the attempts to talk to you in your language, despite all mistakes.
- Myth #2. A girl from Asia lives in poverty. If you compare the average income in some Asian city to the big American salary, maybe, you will see a big difference and therefore decide that all citizens there are poor and save their last money. However, in fact, it isn't so. The thing is that the pricing is what you don't usually pay your attention to — although you should have! The truth is simple: even for the small salary, it is possible to live there and be fine. Moreover, Asian women tend to support their parents financially as long as they can, so the money they get divides at least in two. It is not the level of life you imagined it was, but still, the conditions of life there are quite okay to hold on.
- Myth #3. Any Asian woman is submissive and obeying. If you are looking for a servant and came to Asian dating site with this purpose, you are in the wrong place. For many years up to now these ladies have been working and protecting their interests. The ancient traditions of their country don't define their behavior anymore. Besides, you should look at each woman as at a unique personality and find what is special about her, and not common.
- Myth #4. All she wants from you is either visa or money. An image of a deceitful and insidious woman who has come to the Internet to steal your everything is not that groundless. Such characters do happen in your life, but if you percept everyone you meet as a potential threat to your wallet, you can leave your dreams of making friends and finding love forever. Obviously, these bad intentions have nothing to do with the place one was born, so remember to be objective and open-minded when starting any new acquaintances.
If you have decided to search for your future spouse online, you have to count on the risks that it holds. But real life is no safer than this, and the scam can happen anywhere anytime. Try to reduce your skepticism and give yourself a chance to think clearly. Judge a person by his or her personality and not by some thoughts produced by you don't even know who. Turn on common sense; it is the best safety tool that you have.
What Makes Them Become Mail Order Brides
When you look through the female profiles on some dating sites, you see that there is a big number of them and you may come up with this question: what actually makes so many women become mail order brides? What is so attractive in a perspective of showing yourself on the internet and chatting with foreign men? But before we answer this, ask yourself another question: what made YOU come to this site to look for a foreign wife?
Asian ladies have absolutely regular motives and are alike with you in their goals: they are looking for a person to spend their life with. Cross-cultural marriages are not surprising these days. On the opposite, this practice turns to be more and more popular, gaining the followers every day.
As people started to think globally, they don't limit their interests by the country border. A chance to see the world through someone's eyes is intriguing and attractive, and you can't resist the temptation.
A romantic belief that there can be someone special for you at another end of the world whips to look for the destiny overseas, and it is very often a great life-lasting adventure.
According to the statistics, international marriages last longer than regular ones, and these people get divorced rarer than those who come from the same country. It is explained by the fact that a man and a woman cross-cultural couple always has something to teach each other, and they are never bored together.
Asian women, just as well as many other women all over the world, want to take their chance and find their happiness.
Why Asian Bride Is What You Want
Although each of the brides is different and special, luckily, there are some common things that Asian girls usually share. Read this list to make sure that you won't be disappointed if you take an Asian spouse!
Beautiful. Yes, Asian brides are known and appreciated in the whole world for their unusual tender beauty. We can't say what exactly makes them so charming, but one thing is certain: once you fall for an Asian lady you can never forget her.
Feminine. Western Europe and America can't boast with such a big amount of truly feminine women. The fashion (or rather demand) for strong females has conquered the world, while in the East it is still considered cool to show that you are soft, thin and need a strong shoulder to lean on. A woman who follows this trend for femininity usually gets a really powerful man who is there to be her knight.
Perfectionist. Maybe it is something coming from their upbringing, but it is a thing wide-spread in many Asian families. Their children are taught to try to do things perfectly. This desire of all best things is a good trait of character as it makes the person ambitious and makes them raise the quality of life so that you won't be bored with your wife.
Practical. Common sense is very well-developed in Asian people, and ladies do it better when it comes to many everyday things. The most useful, comfortable and practical decisions spring into their mind, and you will be pretty much surprised by the way they think. A little advice from them can make you look at the things in an unusual way.
Family oriented. Parents are the most important people in the life of an Asian girl, and when the time comes to create their own families, they take it very seriously. Family matters a lot for her, so she will dedicate her everything to it and will do it with all her heart. An Asian lady will be ready to sacrifice her career, if it is needed, in the name of the family, because for her there is nothing more important that the well-doing of her close ones.
Intelligent. We have already discussed an unfair stereotype about Asian ladies' undereducation. The truth is different: they are very smart and tend to have more than one degree. It is a popular practice for ladies from China and Korea to go abroad for studying and constantly upgrade their knowledge. If you take an Asian woman as a wife, it is almost a 100% guarantee that you will always have an intelligent opponent by your side, and the conversations with her will be interesting and satisfying.
Cares about her appearance. As for many other women around the globe, for Asian ladies, it is vital to look good. You probably know about this phenomenon of looking younger than their real age, when you can take a 45-year-old Asian mother of two grown-up children for a young student. That is the thing, and Asian women do everything to save their youth and beauty. This feature causes extreme interest in men, and Western women die to know their beauty secret.
Respects traditions. Asian women are usually very keen on customs that they have back at home, so it is a very interesting thing she can implement into your routine. Moreover, here also comes the respect for gender roles, so you are unlikely to have an Asian wife who will be your competitor and try to take the place of the head of the family.
Where Can I Find an Asian Mail Order Bride?
So if you have read all this and confirmed your wish to get yourself an Asian wife, you have to know the good place to find her. A dating site has to be checked, reliable and meet your demands.

The Struts raised the roof during a sold-out show at The Barfly in north London last night (06.02.14).
The Struts raised the roof during a sold-out show at The Barfly in north London last night (06.02.14).
The band - made up of Luke Spiller, Addo Slack, Jed Elliott and Gethin Davies - are newly signed to Virgin EMI and have become one of the most talked about rising acts of 2014.
Dripping in glamour, frontman Luke commanded the stage like a true professional and the band tore through their best tracks, including 'It Could Have Been Me' and 'Put Your Money On Me'.
The band performed a rocking rendition of David Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel' and got the crowd pumped up by telling them to crouch on the floor before jumping up and down to the music.
Luke's make-up ran down his face as he flicked his wet black hair and launched into a surprise cover of Lorde's hit 'Royals'.
It went down a storm and proved the band are certainly ones to watch in coming months as they add the finishing touches to their album.
Luke has also been in the studio with celebrated musician Mike Oldfield and his vocals feature on the singer's new album 'Man On The Rocks', which was recorded at his home in the Bahamas.
Mike gushed about the young singer in a recent note posted on the band's Facebook, saying: ''I have to say that Luke Spiller is the BEST vocalist I have ever worked with. He is gifted and gives everything to his performance.''

Highway Plant Co. Ltd – established in 1983 – pioneered the use of access platforms in Northern Ireland by educating users to the safety benefits and timescale advantages to using hydraulic platforms rather than the traditional manual ladder and scaffold approach of the day.
In the 80's trailer mounted platforms were brought into Northern Ireland permitting users to hire and tow away an access platform for the first time. Truck mounted platforms, self propelled scissor lifts and boom platforms quickly followed. Since these early days the business has grown steadily through a commitment to customer service and an unrivalled level of industry expertise to innumerable prestigious clients all over Ireland.
Highway's Head Office Belfast base is a one acre site in Dunmurry which houses Hire and Administration staff, a purpose-built Training facility, and an expansive Engineering and Logistic Department capable of servicing customer access platform requirements the length and breadth of the country. Today Highway's specialist access platform fleet is comprehensive and ranges from one man pedestrian personnel lifts right up to Superbooms.
Throughout the years, Highway's ethos has always remained the same, to encourage and promote safe working at height by providing excellent highly specific equipment and customer service which is second to none. This, in conjunction with the commitment and reinvestment in staff training, has ensured that Highway remains at the forefront of the access industry.

Today's topic: What is the most important diabetes awareness message to you? Why is that message important for you, and what are you trying to accomplish by sharing it on your blog?
A little backstory: When I was at university and living in the dorm, this was tacked on my door.
There are days when I feel like we are all going to hell in a hand basket if we don't stick together. Diabetes can be fatal, debilitating, and maddening. It has also brought me some of the best friends I could have ever asked for and a tribe of like-minded people.
So, my message is this: Diabetes can suck. Hard. But when you reach out and share the realities of living day-to-day with it, you find that others not only have the same experiences, but they may have insight on how to make it suck less. And as you learn to make it suck less, you find ways to raise your voice and share how it could suck less with people outside of the tribe… like policy makers.
I want to make diabetes suck less. And be real about it. And take action.
Here is how I try to make diabetes suck less:
The Diabetes UnConference (This is where you can find your tribe and love them hard.)
Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (You can make diabetes suck less for over 29 million of your tribe – including you, by taking action.)
And if I'm going to wonder what I am doing in this hand basket,
at least we will all be wondering together.
Shout out to the amazing Karen Graffeo of Bittersweet Diabetes fame for creating this annual event (7 years running!). It's wonderful to read so many posts and discover new blogs and new voices.

Often there can be some confusion and disagreement about the definition of strategic planning and its relationship to other forms of planning in nonprofit organizations. I have tended to view the strategic plan as a 3-5 year "strategic blueprint" that serves as the foundation for these other forms of planning. I recently conducted a webinar entitled "The Relationship of Strategic Planning to Program Planning and Business Planning".
In preparing for the session, I came across an excellent article "Business Planning for Nonprofits: Why, When — and How It Compares to Strategic Planning" by Brigette Rouson. The article describes three approaches to defining the relationship of strategic planning to other forms of planning. According to Rouson, the three approaches include selection (opting for one over the other), synthesis (bringing elements of both approaches together) and sequencing (ordering one before the other). If you want to explore this relationship further, check out this article and others included in the resource bibliography I developed for this recent webinar:
Collection of Business Planning Resources for Nonprofits: The Bridgespan Group has assembled an excellent set of resources on business planning for nonprofits. In "Business Planning for Nonprofits," Bridgespan draws on client experience to illustrate the key components of the business-planning process. http://www.bridgespan.org/kno_themes_businessplanning.html

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is ratcheting up its ongoing crackdown on tax evasion with its latest focus on landlords who let out residential property, whether at home or overseas.
HMRC has been running an ongoing programme across a range of sectors, trades and professions to encourage disclosure, and its Let Property campaign now means that the onus is on landlords to bring their tax affairs up to date in exchange for reduced penalties.
The HMRC campaign will focus on landlords who rent out single or multiple properties or who rent out a room in their main home for more than £4,250 per year (£2,125 if the room is let jointly). The campaign will also target landlords who live abroad but rent out UK property, or vice versa, as well as those who rent out their holiday home when not being used by themselves, or who operate in specialist areas such as renting student accommodation or workforce accommodation.

The word 'GRAND' is defined as outstanding, impressive, worthy of respect, wonderful, enjoyable and memorable. That is why this week's blog is dedicated to GRAND LOVE!
Close your eyes for a moment and image what this type of Love would look like to you. Put a big smile on your face and really feel what wonderful, enjoyable Love would be like in your life at this time. Imagine receiving lots and lots of beautiful, delicious hugs and kisses!! Doesn't it make you feel so happy and so Loved!!!
Another way to feel Grand Love is to contemplate the word EXPANSIVE. A Grand relationship feels open and expansive. Think of the most exquisite view of the Grand Canal in Italy, that big wide open expanse of water. Enlarge your thoughts and your mind, by seeing no limits or boundaries to the type of Love you wish to create for yourself.
My picture this week was taken while I was in the Costco store. It says it all……
I encourage you this week to spend some time daydreaming about your own version of GRAND LOVE.
Love heaps
Samantha xo
"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."

Never mind what's happening to the price of gold and other industrial metals and materials, Dan Dicker, president of MercBloc and former oil trader, says the price of oil is going to stay strong. In the attached clip, Dicker explains the case why crude oil is a safe bet now and offers a few ideas for how investors can profit.
Crude is the most stable of commodities
Unlike copper, steel and lumber, all of which are dropping in price, Dicker notes that there still isn't any substitute for old school crude oil. It powers everything in our world rather than just construction or other discretionary products. Of course a drop in overall consumption can occur but unless a full scale meltdown of the global economy comes to pass, marginal demand for crude won't disappear.
Oil is "financialized"
Oil is something of a form of currency for financial managers. Unlike gold, which is obviously not as appealing as it was a couple years ago, oil has a function beyond being shiny. With gold's collapse Dicker says institutional investors looking for a place to park money that doesn't rely on the fickle nature of individual investors to drive prices higher have few options beyond crude.
Related: Gold Is Unsafe at Any Price, Says Dicker
If you buy into Dicker's thesis he says the way to play it is to look past the traditional dividend juggernauts like Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX). Instead Dicker suggests going with companies which "can monetize what's going to be a very sticky, very high price of oil over the next couple quarters."
Dicker's going with Exploration and Production (E&P) companies like Anadarko (APC), Apache (APA), Noble Energy (NBL) and EOG Resources (EOG).

NITL congratulates all those shortlisted for this year's National Procurement Awards
Saturday November 3rd saw the latest cohort of graduates from NITL's M.Sc. programmes celebrate an important milestone at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Over 40 individuals graduated with the M.Sc. in Supply Chain Management, representing the largest group of graduates at a single ceremony since NITL's establishment in 1998.
NITL recognises the need for a dedicated organisation to support the development of a supply chain community in Ireland. It has long been recognised by leading edge firms across a range of sectors that fragmentation of enterprise processes and data is a major cause of non-value adding activities (NVAs) and waste. The need to replace this fragmentation with a more integrated approach is central to the concept of SCM.
Following the largest ever annual intake into its M.Sc. programmes during 2011, NITL last week welcomed the second new cohort of 2012 to the Executive Masters programme in supply chain management (SCM). The new participants are supply chain professionals in a range of Irish and multinational organisations including Diageo, Coca-Cola, Glanbia, the Irish Defence Forces, Tesco and Mylan.
Over 40 new full-time M.Sc. students recently commenced their studies and completed the first of their nine modules. The module – Introduction to SCM – provided students with an overview of all strategic and operational aspects of the subject. Each component element will be dealt with in more detail in the modules that follow during the 2012/13 academic year.
Dr. Graham Heaslip was presented with the prestigious James Cooper Memorial Cup at the recent Logistics Research Network (LRN) conference hosted by Cranfield University. The prize is awarded annually by the CILT in the UK for the best Ph.D. thesis on a supply chain management topic in the UK and Ireland.
Over recent months, NITL has been collaborating with Life Sciences Ireland, a division of the Irish Exporters Association, on an exciting new supply chain initiative entitled 'Security of Supply and Patient Safety (SPSS) through Good Distribution Practice (GDP)'. Life Sciences Ireland was established to address supply chain issues in the life sciences industry and to develop and deliver training for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries and service providers in the logistics, transport and storage of medical and health care products.
Last week NITL was delighted to host a visit by Dr. Elvira Maeso González of the University of Málaga.
The University of Málaga is quite a young institution its decree having been formally approved in 1972. However, it can trace its origins back to the 16th Century. More recently, the Casa de Enseñanza de Pilotaje, Lenguas Vivas y Comercio (School of Navigation, Modern Languages and Commerce) was established in 1846 and later became an integral part of the University.
Edward Sweeney of NITL recently contributed to the 2012 Global Supply Chain Business Summit held at in Singapore. This was the 5th in a series of biennial Summits that have spanned nearly a decade. The concept is the brainchild of Dr John Gattorna, acknowledged as one of the outstanding contemporary supply chain 'thought leaders'.
The inaugural Supply Chain Awards took place in the Four Seasons Hotel last week, with the top echelons of the supply chain community from both Irish and multinational companies represented.

I'm a high-spirited stunner with looks that rival the sacred cats portrayed in Egyptian murals. But I'm no elegant lap cat – I prefer to live life on the edge, fueled by my insatiable curiosity to climb to the highest heights of the home, investigate everything my humans are up to and explore anything that catches my ever-alert attention.
Read more about the Abyssinian.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
American Bobtail
Don't let my wildcat looks fool you. Despite my rugged bobbed tail and muscular physique, I'm as friendly and playful as a kitten. I love the attention of my humans and I'm not above asking for it so prepare for lots of playtime. That includes going for walks and teaching me tricks, which makes me sort of like a cleaner, smarter canine.
Read more about the American Bobtail.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
American Curl
It's a good thing most people find my curly ears irresistably adorable – 'cause I've got an insatiable desire to be adored. I thrive on affection and I'm as much of a giver as a taker, showering my love and energy on all those I hold dear – human, canine or feline. Life's just too short for discrimination – or intimacy issues.
Read more about the American Curl.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
American Wirehair
Blessed with a fairly low-maintenance curly coat and a calm temperament,
I'm a joy to have around. I'm curious and active, without being overly hyper, affectionate and loving without being demanding. The perfect Goldilocks sort of cat, if I do say so myself.
Read more about the American Wirehair.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Balinese and Javanese
I'm named for the graceful dancers from the island of Bali, but I'm much
more of a talker than a dancer. I truly love my humans which is why I spend so much time following you around to tell you helpful advice. Admittedly, I can be a bit of a chatty busybody but my very affectionate, devoted nature also makes me an invaluable friend.
Large and exotic, I look a lot like my wild ancestors. And like them, I can be a lot to handle with my super high energy levels, exceptional athleticism, and an abundance of smarts.
But I am also a load of fun and can be trained, taken for walks and even swims!
With my royal good looks, is it any wonder I was worshipped in temples throughout Burma? But my beauty is more than fur-deep – I am one of the sweetest, most gentle cats in existence and unlike most good-natured felines, I am neither lethargic nor aloof, preferring to spend my energy being affectionate with my humans.
Jet black and beautiful, I am nowhere near as mysterious as my looks suggest. In fact, I'm an open book – wide open to giving and receiving as much lovin' affection to and from every single member of my family – including the little ones. I'll even follow you all around 'til I get my fill of love…so, pretty much forever.
British Shorthair
With my round, fluffy teddy-bear looks, it's no wonder I'm the most popular cat in Britain. And it's not just my looks that keep me ranking on the world's most popular cat charts, either – I am a well-mannered, genteel feline with a zen-like disposition toward life and fellow creatures. A true pleasure to be around and no trouble at all.
Read more about the British Shorthair.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Curious, trusting, and very playful, I am the social butterfly of the feline world. I spend my days in active pursuit of new things to discover and new beings to befriend, which never gets old – even well into adulthood. I'm wonderful fun to be around, I hear, 'though admittedly, I have no sense of boundaries.
I get my good looks – and my personality – from two exceptional cat breeds – the playful and mischievous Burmese and the laid back and affectionate Chinchilla Persian, which makes me the purrfect mix of the two temperaments: fun-loving and sociable yet quiet, gentle, and very easy to get on with.
My upbeat yet laid-back disposition makes me one of the easiest felines to take care of – just keep in mind I tend to be a bit clumsy and store away your breakables! Read more about the Burmilla.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Bonjour. My refined, well-mannered ways has resulted in a long and illustrious history of association with the cr me de la cr me of French intellectual society, but I'm as much of a doer as a thinker.
In addition to my sweet, quiet nature, I'm an excellent ? seriously, top-notch ? mouser. Read more about the Chartreux.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
True to my wildcat lineage, I am a fearless feline – exceptionally fast on my feet and capable of heart-stopping feats of athleticism, like leaping six feet into the air! I'm clever, too, which means I'll be able to navigate to the highest, most out-of-reach spots around the house…better stash away your valuables. Read more about the Chausie.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Colorpoint Shorthair
Affectionate and sensitive, I'm the sort of feline that's very in touch with my emotions – and I like to tell you all about them by following you around the house to engage you in lively conversation or prompting you toward an extended pampering session. I hope you like company, 'cause I'll rarely stray from your side. Read more about the Colorpoint Shorthair.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Cornish Rex
I am a sheer marvel of graceful curves, from my curly coat to my elegantly arched body. But in contrast to my aristocratic looks, I'm a ridiculously playful cat, bursting with unabashed enthusiastic playfulness.Oh, and I'm clever too – I can even learn how to open doors with my paws. You've been warned. Read more about the Cornish Rex.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Cymric (Longhaired Manx)
I am a cat of contrasts. Although I may look buff and formidable, I am actually very affectionate and playful. Although sociable, I'm also highly independent. And despite my gentle, easy-going personality, I can become territorial and protective of what's mine. Read more about the Cymric.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Devon Rex
My large eyes and ears combined with my short, wavy coat has earned me a few nicknames, including 'elf cat' and 'poodle cat,' but the most accurate is 'monkey in a cat suit' for my dexterous climbing and jumping abilities as well as my people-pleasing performances. Read more about the Devon Rex.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Bald but wonderfully lovable sums me up purrfectly. I mingle with everyone – both family and strangers – 'though I'm unconditionally devoted to those nearest and dearest to me.

Egyptian Mau
I'm a highly adaptable feline, suitable for both indoor and outdoor living. Should you let me out, you'll be impressed to find I have top-notch hunting skills – I may bring you back a treat or two. Especially if you're one of my favorite humans. Yes, I do play favorites and I always prefer those humans over strangers. Read more about the Egyptian Mau.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Exotic Shorthair
Love the cuddly good looks of the Persian but can't deal with all the fur? Then I'm purrfect for you, since I've got all the adorable looks of the Persian minus the high-maintenance coat. I've even inherited the Persian's easy-going, affectionate disposition, but with another crucial difference – I'm actually active and playful. Read more about the Exotic Shorthair.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Havana Brown
I thrive on affection and attention. They're the twin motivating forces in my life and everything I do from snooping on everything you do around the house to engaging you in lively banter is all a means to a most desired end: a long, pampering session of belly rubs and cuddling. Read more about the Havana Brown.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
I'm a large feline with wildcat roots but despite essentially being a domesticated Lynx, I'm more of a jester than a predator and prefer to spend my days goofing around showing off my crazy antics. I don't talk much, but I get on well with pretty much everyone – even little humans. Read more about the Highlander.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
I'm what's known as the best of both worlds – a purrfect combination of two very popular cat breeds, the Persian and the Siamese. And that's both for my looks and my personality, which strikes the ideal balance between the Persian's gentle nature and the Siamese's affectionate playfulness. Read more about the Himalayan.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Japanese Bobtail
Confidence is key and I have it in spades. Which makes socializing, adapting, playing well with others, and public speaking – with my characteristic sing-song coo – a breeze for me. The best part? I'm self-assured enough to enjoy solitude as much as company – I'm rarely ever a bother. Read more about the Japanese Bobtail.[wpsm_divider top="20px" bottom="20px" style="dotted"]
Khao Manee
With a pure white coat and odd-colored eyes – one of gold and one of silver (blue) – I am one of the most striking felines you'll ever lay eyes on…if you're lucky enough to, since I'm still a very rare breed.

Lambkin Dwarf
I may be vertically challenged, but my shortness never prevents me from enjoying life to the fullest.

Color changing tabs
VvkPtil last edited by
Today i started using Vivaldi, i must say its too good at its developing stage! There are many wow factors in this browser! But one i liked is that color changing tab thing! There is glitch in it! The transition of the color seem really slow or i would say it is not seamless! I would request you to look upon this issue!

I think that right now they are focusing on features and bug fixes. Code cleaning and speeding up UI will be priority sometime closer to the first final release.
(at least this would make sense. Better than to focus on speed right now and after a few new features do the same again because of some huge changes in potentially optimized code and do it once again…)

Dieing to feel the final build!
You are right, the speed should be the 1st priority, because at this stage also Vivaldi is struggling with tab switching!
ahoj1234 last edited by
sorry for the misunderstanding. I think that speed should be the very last priority right now.
Of course that a good implementation will save a lot of further work on speed improvements but in that stage (technical previews) is speed just a "side effect" to me.
g_bartsch Ambassador last edited by
I think in the end we can expect speed of the UI to improve a lot because it's not good now and V would never achieve full acceptance by people if it stayed this slow. So, I'm being patient and not worrying much despite longing for a really snappy UI.

Well, this week has been a bit hectic so far and I won't be slowing down too much by the time my fiance arrives for his 3-week stay next Monday. I'm super excited because it's been a couple years since his last visit and, while I don't have a crazy amount of stuff planned, what stuff we WILL do is sure to make for a nice vacation.
But, before we get into some good news, I've got some bad news to share. As of Monday evening, my 17-year-old cat, Scamper, has gone missing. My parents and I have searched our property and started asking around, but he hasn't turned up yet. It worries us mainly because, at his age, he doesn't get around as easily as he used to and has never been away from home nearly this long. I'm hopeful we'll find him or he'll turn up, but it's put a heavy damper on an otherwise good week so far.
Now, speaking of that good week, I spent yesterday in the city with my mom watching the annual Buskers on the Boardwalk Festival. It was pretty good, with this year's being the first time they've run the festival prior to the weekend. Unfortunately, that meant many of the acts either weren't there yet or just weren't performing that day, so we had a lot more time on our hands between shows. Still, I got my now-traditional Tutti Frutti-flavored snocone and the acts we did see put on some entertaining shows.
Another plus is, fingers crossed, my Internet connection seems to have gone back to being stable since last week. I'm hoping it was less to do with our modem and more to do with either the lines or something on our service provider's end. I did hear from my uncle that he'd experienced similar problems, so I guess it wasn't just us after all. I'm just happy it seems to have sorted itself out before I start spending quality time with my man.
Finally, something I failed to blog about a year or two ago was that I, for the first time in my life, 100% completed the Pokedex in "Pokemon X" It was an arduous task of constantly trading, evolving and breeding Pokemon, but with Japan's release of Volcanion and me managing to snag one, I can definitely say it was a worthwhile achievement. However, I toiled on and off with the idea of making a LIVE Pokedex (having physically one of every Pokemon and their evolutions), but I'd decided against it because of the amount of work it involved and a lack of interest. Well, thanks to the Sun/Moon information that's got me pumped to play a brand new Pokemon game again, I decided the time was now. And ladies and gentlemen, as of tonight, I can officially say that I have a 100% complete LIVE Pokedex in "Pokemon X"!
I'm so relieved and proud of myself for giving it a shot. I'm hoping to do what most people will probably do and transfer my 'dex over to Sun/Moon. Not so much to help complete the 'dex there, but so I can continue with it by catching all the new Pokemon. Sure, I had a lot of time on my hands to pull this off, but I feel like I accomplished a big project and now I can just sit back and enjoy it for what it is. Then I plan to never, ever do something this extensive for a video game EVER again. Anyway, I can't promise regular blogs in the next three weeks, but I'll still try to get one a week out as usual. See you all then!

My dog has a nasty habit of eating everything that crosses his path. Whether its chewing gum, little rocks, debris grass or mushrooms he tries to eat it. It's worrisome because I know that some of the items he digests aren't good for his system but it's also difficult to prevent him from eating them. The one substance that makes me very nervous is mushrooms. They seem to grow everywhere in yards, woods, on the side of the road and most are very hard to identify. Some species of poisonous and nonpoisonous grow right next to each other. There are so many different types of fungi looming in the grass you can almost never tell which can are fatal. Hopefully I can help give you a little help on what to look for on the ground or on your pets.
First off, Mushrooms are a type of fungus that can be found growing in damp, dark places like soil and inside trees. While most mushrooms are edible there are some that are poisonous and very dangerous.
The three most dangerous groups of fungi are Amanitas, False Morels, and LBM's or "Little brown mushrooms":
The mushrooms in these groups can be virtually fatal. The amanitas fungi grow as an egg shaped ball it breaks open as it continues to grow. Full grown amanitas are umbrella shaped caps that are brown, yellow, white or red. They also have a cup around the base of the stem and are found buried right under the surface and may not be visible to the wandering eye. They have white gills and a ring around the stem. This type of fungi is found during the summer and fall. False morels are tricky fungi because some people have reported really enjoying eating it while others have experienced serious illness and possibly death. False morels have wrinkled caps and are black, white, brown or red in color. These mushrooms can grow 2-8" high. The bottom of a false morel hangs down like a dress. The little brown mushrooms are small to medium sides, brown mushrooms with many colors in their spores. Some LBMs are not dangerous and are used as hallucinogenic but some are very deadly. Due to their difficulty in being identified LBMs should be avoided at all costs. They are found during the spring, summer and fall and are located in many regions.
Many times pet owners don't realize that they have very poisonous mushrooms growing in their own back yard. Mushrooms vary in size and can have very good hiding places. If you have pets this is important information to think about. It's a good idea to inspect your yard every morning and especially if your region is experiencing damp weather. New mushrooms can sprout up overnight. When you do find mushrooms in your yard, be sure to dig them up and kick up the spores to make sure they won't grow back.
If an animal eats a mushroom the symptoms of poisoning usually begin within 30 minutes to 6 hours of ingestion. They range from vomiting, diarrhea, profusely salivating and complicated digestive problems. If your dog is only experiencing stomach irritation this should last about 24 hrs and require limited veterinarian assistance. If your pet is experiencing a slow heart beat, is profusely salivating or has increased tear production these symptoms almost always require immediate veterinary help. These symptoms usually take more time to appear once the fungi have been eaten. Some people reported that their dog appeared drunk. This is called ataxia and occurs because the poison affects the neurological system causing stumbling, seizures and kidney failure. A hallucinogenic syndrome will occur within your pet and appear as restlessness. Your pet may hallucinate and snap at invisible bugs, stagger or have muscle tremors. Usually animals that ingest hallucinogenic mushrooms should be closely monitored by a veterinarian. If you have a pet that likes to eat grass the chance of them eating a wild mushroom is very likely. Some animals become sick simply from licking a poisonous mushroom or are allergic even to edible mushrooms. If you happen to catch your pet ingesting a mushroom then you should remove any leftover remnants of the mushroom from the dog's mouth and induce vomiting. To induce vomiting you will need either 1 tsp of syrup of ipecac or 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide 3%. Repeat the hydrogen peroxide repeat 3 times every 10 minutes. Then call your veterinarian immediately and inform them of the ingestion. If your pet has eaten poisonous mushrooms but you didn't catch him in the act and is experiencing poisoned symptoms then call your veterinarian for immediate emergency assistance.

I love music. My wife Becky loves music. She has a wonderful singing voice. I don't. I sing hoping to eventually be not-so-bad. Becky sings from her love and is very talented. Her voice is music. Someone who can sing like Becky should sing. She should be heard.
The sound of the stream is its music. This music should be heard. The stream loves to sing and it loves to be heard. Why?
The stream was formed for a specific purpose within a larger story. The stream is confidently content in this purpose and flows through its course respectively. Its voice amplifies the joy of living purposefully and as a visitor it implores me to listen. In listening, in being in its presence, my heart is captured.
The stream has captured my heart, not as a combatant, but as a nurturer. The stream loves and has only good intended for all creatures coming into its presence. The stream's intention is to restore.
While, through the stream, nature is restored in many important ways, I feel it personally reaching out to me. It asks me to be restored in original, intended purpose. In singing its own song of purpose, I am inspired to sing my song of purpose – and to let this purpose flow through its course respectively.
