Enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend--posted by Tony Garcia on 5/11/2006
I have been saying for a long time that the enemy of our enemy is not our friend. I believe that. Look at what it has done for us over the decades in foreign policy matters.
I believe that and I also believe that character matters. I will not support any candidate whose character is worse than mine. That is a pretty low bar. In my heart of hearts I believe Michele Bachmann has shown in many areas to be below that bar. There is too much that I know about her to prove otherwise...and sadly most of what she has done will get swept under the carpet because people have decided to put their party above it all.
However, the knee jerk reaction to jump to her next biggest competitor (presumed to be Wetterling) was missing some information. She lied to Tinklenberg just to pursue her own political career. Was that a mistake from inexperience? Could be, but she has never addressed this and thus forgiveness from anybody is not warranted.
That leaves a very narrow field to even begin to analyze. Tinklenberg (if he makes past the primary) and Binkowski. I'm not wild about either of those...anymore than I was wild about G.H.W. Bush vs. Bill Clinton vs. Ross Perot in 1992.
The governor's race was also equally unpalatable in 1998. A moderate at best who I don't believe could tell the truth about his positions to save his life vs. a socialist, anti-business partisan vs. a straight-shooting moderate who was going to be an embarassment to all.
Yes, I hope Bachmann loses. My ideal situation is that some fiscal conservative will come out and run in the general and that dark horse will win. My less fantastical panacea is that someone runs a None of the Above campaign that wins the majority. I have to wait to see what shakes out over the long haul, but I must be enthusiastic about the person to vote for them. I fell into the very trap many people in politics fall into, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" and to vote anti-anything gains nothing.
So, here it is. I was wrong to throw my support behind Wetterling (though my money is still on a GOP loss). I will advocate people to not vote in the 6th CD because none of the choices seem to be deserving of representing the public.

Q. What kind of referencing is needed for work done for the IB Diploma?
All work submitted for the IB Diploma must be academically honest, which means acknowledging any materials or ideas used.
For the Extended Essay, this is what the IBO guide says (p.10):
An extended essay must reflect intellectual honesty in research practices and provide the reader with the exact sources of quotations, ideas and points of view through accurate bibliographies and referencing. Producing accurate citations, referencing and a bibliography is a skill that students should be seeking to perfect.
For a full explanation of referencing, we recommend you read the 16-page document -- "Effective citing and referencing" -- published by the IBO in 2014.
Note that the IBO does not require one particular referencing style (e.g., MLA, APA, or Chicago). Instead they only expect you to be clear and consistent when citing sources, such that any reader can easily distinguish between your words/work and that of others you have used.
However, UWCSEA expects you to learn to follow one of the major referencing styles, as that will be required if you go on to university.
- MLA (Modern Language Association) -- this is the Author-Page style of inline citations
- APA (American Psychological Association) -- this is the Author-Date-Page style of inline citations
- Chicago -- this is the style that uses footnotes at the bottom of the page
NB: Footnotes are only used to cite material in the Chicago style. The other two styles -- MLA and APA -- use in-text or inline citations. This means the citation is given in the body of the text when it is used.
MLA is the default referencing style for all students in all subjects, however, for the IB Diploma program, some departments choose a different style -- and it may differ on each campus.
- See the FAQ about the East campus referencing styles for IB -- http://ask.uwcsea.edu.sg/faq/190879

Five Myths About Health Care 'Reform'
The debate over health care reform -- what constitutes it and what public opinion of such reform really is -- has become more polarizing as the summer has gone on. Below are five key liberal talking points about health care "reform" and an accompanying dose of truth their peddlers so desperately need to hear.
1. Republicans, who either believe the health care status quo is perfectly acceptable or are in the pockets of lobbyists who pay them to say so, are opposed to the very idea of reform and want to block any effort to fix our health care system.
This is, of course, entirely untrue. Anybody can look at the American health care system -- which is and continues to be the best in the world -- and spot areas that are in need of improvement. Left and right differ in their views of what those problems are and how they are best dealt with. Republicans and conservatives only oppose "reform" outright if the term is limited to meaning the government-centric overhaul that the president and congressional Democrats are pushing.
Actual reform -- a reduction in the dependence on third-party payers, increase in patient choice, reduction of costs, increase in personal freedom and control of health care dollars, added portability of health coverage, and reduced governmental interference -- is almost universally supported on the right.
The two sides also differ in their approach to the other's ideas. Conservatives look at the left's proposals for "reform" and argue that -- based on simple mathematics and economics, as well as on the physical evidence provided by states and countries who have already implemented the Democrats' proposed solutions -- implementing them will only make things worse. Liberals' knee-jerk reaction to conservative counterproposals is to discard them out of hand because they do not rely on greater government influence and increased regulation to solve the health care system's issues.
This is followed by accusations that those on the right either favor the status quo or are being paid by lobbyists and "big insurance" to spread the falsehood that "everything is fine" in American health care. The latter deserves no more attention than the brief moment it takes to point out how insulated a worldview is required to believe, as many on the left do, that their proposals and beliefs simply cannot be honestly opposed, and therefore any who publicly disagree with their policies must be getting paid off to do so.
Of course, the right is not defending the status quo in any way, shape, or form in the health care debate. Rather, conservatives are simply offering alternative, market- and individual freedom-friendly solutions while seeking to prevent a fundamental shift in our nation's economy from being enacted without the relevant legislation even having been read or carefully considered first.
In fact, it is the left that has a recent history of declaring the status quo sufficient during a period of debate over reform. In 2005, when President Bush was pushing a partial privatization of Social Security in order to provide retirees with more control over their retirement dollars and to stave off the program's looming bankruptcy (Social Security currently sits $20 trillion in the red), Democrats fought tooth-and-nail against the proposed overhaul, citing their belief that the program was not yet in "crisis" and therefore that no action whatsoever was needed.
2. President Obama's health reform proposal is vastly popular among the people, representing the "collective will" of the American population.
This may be the number one myth driving the left's passionate defense of their view of health "reform," and the one which most reinforces their belief that opponents of President Obama's proposal are in the pockets of Big Insurance or other special interests who pay them well for their active opposition. However, a simple look at public opinion polls will suffice to burst this bubble.
Support for Obama's health overhaul proposal, which has been declining for months, is only 44 percent of Americans, according to Rasmussen. This is down from 46 percent who supported it in July, which is itself down from 50 percent in June. Further, 53 percent of Americans are now opposed to the Democrats' "reform" plan that many liberals think represents the "collective will" of the American population.
The fact is, the more time that passes, and the more Americans learn about the Democrat proposal, the less popular it becomes -- a key factor in Obama's failed effort to rush his "reform" legislation through Congress as quickly as possible.
3. Everybody in America hates their insurance provider and has stories of themselves or someone they know being screwed over by an insurance company.
This assertion is so widely assumed to be true among Democrats that it formed the basis for a significant shift in presidential messaging on health care. Throughout his campaign and the first few months of his presidency, Barack Obama referred almost exclusively to "health care reform." With fewer Americans supporting the idea of a top-to-bottom overhaul of the health care system, Obama and his fellow Democrats changed tack and went for a target they were certain every American could support fighting: so-called Big Insurance.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a public speech in which she referred to HMOs (which, lest we forget, were created by that now-arch-enemy of Big Insurance, Senator Ted Kennedy) as "villains" (though she has said she will not give back the money insurers have given to her campaign over the years), and President Obama himself has replaced the phrase "health care reform" with "health insurance reform."
The problem with this assumption by Obama and the Democrats is that the sampling they relied on for this messaging shift is about as representative as that Pauline Kael consulted before her famous 1972 declaration that "everybody [she] knew" voted for George McGovern for president!

Each woman spend most of her day trying to figure out what to wear next day. What shoes to wear green or red, who will they meet and most of all what jewelry to wear and handbag to carry. Dressing up for a woman is both stressful and fun because it is time for her to showcase her signature identity. There are several tips that should be followed if you want to become a pro in accessorizing:
- Buy jewelry that will have more than just one purpose
It is great that you bought a new dress and feel like you will need jewelry to go with it. Buying new jewelry from Justfab.com means you go for jewelry that will serve many purposes in your wardrobe. Because you will not wear this dress every day, it means if you buy a piece of jewelry that matches only with this dress, it will not be worn as many times as it should be. Finding jewelry that will go with many outfits will help you save lot of money.
- Find new ways to accessorize
If there is something that brings fun in accessorizing, it is finding new ways to wear the same piece of jewelry. Sometimes beautiful necklace you wear every day can be wrapped around your wrist to pass the effect of a cool new bracelet. The secret is to know which jewelry have more than one way of wearing and which could just embarrass you.
- Do not over do
When you keep things simple, you can never go wrong. Therefore, if you feel that your outfit has a lot going on, wear only one necklace instead of layering or skip the necklace and go for rings, bangles or bracelets. For example if your blouse or top has many colors and prints or it is ruffled at the top, it is pointless to overwhelm it with layers of necklaces.
- Let your outfit compliment you
Everyone has the experience, where they have met with a friend who is petite and have worn huge pearls or huge neck-piece that make you wonder if they are overdressed or their neck is hurting from the weight. Justfab advices that you should dress up in a way to make sure that you are what people see first. Do not wear too big jewelry that can distract people from listening to you or noticing any other part of your outfit. Just keep it simple.
- Concentrate on the eye area
The eye area is the area where most people will look first when they see you. So justfab advices, While dressing, make sure which part did you want people to notice or which parts you want your outfit should reveal? For example if you are wearing a top that shows lot of cleavage, wearing a big colorful neck-piece will distract people's eyes from noticing your cleave they will notice how the neck piece complements your skin.

Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education, and children should be taught music before anything else…I would teach the children music, physics and philosophy, but the most important is music, for in the patterns of the arts are the keys to all learning.
—The Republic by Plato, Book III (398-403).
Music education is an extremely important part of child development, and exposure to music can start even in the womb. Recent research has found that music uses both sides of the brain, making it valuable to all areas of the growing mind. Music affects the growth of a child's mind intellectually, emotionally and physically. Music education in early childhood has also been shown to lead to success in adult life.
Music participation provides an opportunity to prepare young children for literacy. Whether by singing, playing an instrument or simply listening, teachers can direct students to listen and hear in ways that exercise their auditory discrimination. When children learn to play simple instruments, it introduces them to sequential learning which is key for proper reading comprehension. Sequential learners tend to gain understanding of linear steps, which helps them develop a logical brain.
Our guest in this video is Jackie Harris, executive director of the Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp and a life-long advocate and supporter of music education for children. Jackie talks about the importance and benefits of music education for kids.

The first thing I noticed when I walked into the Gallery of Wood Art was the smell — that nose-prickling odor of freshly cut lumber that I associate with opening a new cabinet or trimming the end off the Christmas tree.
A man stood at a lathe, holding a long-handled carving tool against a spinning block of wood.
"Look, Mama, he's making a poodle," my 6-year-old daughter squealed in delight. The man was hollowing out a bowl from a chunk of birch, and as he worked, curly wood shavings piled on the machine arm and then tumbled to the floor. The heaps of pale corkscrews did look like poodle hair.
Unless you've stumbled onto the gallery, you probably don't know St. Paul is home to the American Association of Woodturners. The international organization is housed in the second floor of the downtown Landmark Center, where it regularly showcases the best work of its 13,000 members.
The monthly demonstrations are relatively new, as is a permanent hands-on exhibit called "Touch This!" With these additions, I found more than enough to keep my two elementary-age children engaged while introducing them to a remarkable art.
Woodturning is a form of woodcarving that involves shaving or gouging away wood as it spins on a lathe. When I think of woodturning, I think of the spindles on the staircase of my 1908 house. I was not prepared for the beauty and diversity of what we saw in the gallery.
We ogled a delicate platter that looked like it was made of lace and a teapot covered with dozens of carved flowers. We saw a glossy, emerald-green vase that looked like glass. It was only when we peered closely that we could see the grain of the wood.
"Not a chair leg in sight," quipped curator Tib Shaw, who is generally on hand to give visitors a tour. "There is a whole practical and industrial history of woodturning, and then there is art."
With its international membership, the woodturners gallery attracts some of the best wood turned art in the world. The current exhibit, on display through December, is the annual juried member show and includes more than 30 pieces inspired by this year's theme: "A Walk Through the Woods."
The title's double meaning describes the experience of walking through the exhibit itself and the many species on display, from black locust and ginkgo to madrone and maple.
We saw whimsical pieces, including a big, black acorn resting on a little platform bed. My daughter liked a high-heeled shoe with the thin ankle strap that was made entirely from wood.
My 10-year-old son, meanwhile, had stationed himself in front of the lathe demonstration with several other visitors, transfixed by watching the shape of the bowl emerge.
We later found out that the man working the lathe was Dennis DeVendra, a blind woodturner from Columbus, Ohio, who was in town to help the association work on a new woodturning curriculum for people with vision loss.
"The lathe is actually well suited to vision loss," Shaw said," because you're holding the tool. The blade is not coming toward you."
The only time I noticed DeVendra was blind was when he ran his fingers along the side of the machine to find the switch to turn it off.
Touch seems both integral to making and appreciating wood art. The pieces in the gallery were organic, sensuous. Despite the little signs saying "Please do not touch," I wanted to reach out and run my finger over their grained surfaces. I was aware that everything in the room had once been alive.
So, it was with relief that we stepped into the second gallery called "Touch This!" New this month, the permanent space offers a variety of interactive displays and objects that let all ages explore wood and the history of woodturning. The cheerfully painted walls include a large mural of a tree by Rick Kollath, the Duluth artist who also illustrates for the Duluth Trading Co. catalog.
My daughter made a beeline to a low shelf lined with antique turned candlesticks of different heights and shapes. They looked like something Ebenezer Scrooge might have had on his bedside table. On the wall directly behind them were white silhouettes. The idea was to match the candlestick to its silhouette. My daughter tried it, and then she mixed them up and her brother amused himself by timing how long it took him to make the matches.
We also saw a display showing how a baseball bat is turned. And my son had fun with a display of vintage spindles hung on a wall. Shaw found them at a Twin Cities architectural salvage business and painted them white. The goal was to find three identical pairs. They all looked the same at first. But the search-and-find game got us to look at them closely.
An exhibit panel told us that the name for a bump on a spindle is a "bead." A U-shaped concave section is called a "cove." The number, size and arrangement of beads and coves create the different styles. It gave me a new appreciation for the woodturners who turned spindles by eye before computer-operated machinery came onto the scene.
We also learned about trees, about rings and sapwood and heartwood. We sniffed wood samples, just a few of the more than 100,000 wood species, and decided the sassafras did smell a bit like root beer.
We lifted blocks of wood and marveled at the lightness of bass and the heft of lignum vitae, the hardest wood in the world. It was once used make pulleys on sailing ships and billy clubs carried by British policemen.
My son was fascinated by a section of a burl that sat on a counter. A burl is a bump that grows on the side of a tree when it's injured or stressed. This burl had been cut and sanded on two sides so we could see the intricate swirling patterns that make burls prized by woodturners.
"If you buy a Rolls-Royce, the dashboard is likely a burl veneer," said Shaw, who wandered back to check on us in the back room. "It's very, very desirable among people who make fancy furniture."
We read a brief history of woodturning, from the Egyptians two-person rope lathe through the medieval spring-pole lathe. Black-and-white photos on the wall showed a couple of woodturning shops that sprung up in St. Paul during the late-19th-century housing boom.
We looked at objects in a display case, ranging from wood toys to a potato masher that looked just like the one my grandmother brought from Finland when she immigrated. I had never stopped to consider that it had been turned on a lathe.
Soon, I, too, could make a potato masher. Woodturners will offer woodturning classes in the basement of Landmark Center.
In the meantime, I can always buy something in the gallery gift shop. On our way out, we stopped to spin some of the toy wood tops for sale ($7) made by local turner Bob Jensen. The shop also carries items ranging from wood purses to bowls, containers, kitchen scoops and Christmas ornaments, with an emphasis on regional artists. I am tempted to go back and browse so I can purchase something I can admire and touch anytime.

Physical Development and Movement
Children start primary school having had a range of movement experiences at home, in pre-school settings and in their local community. They will have developed skills of control, co-ordination and manipulation and will have some awareness of space. Teachers should encourage their pupils to develop these fundamental movement skills as they are crucial to children's long term health and well-being and support physical development.
Physical Development and Movement is about experiencing and developing a range of fundamental movement skills that improve co-ordination, locomotion, control, balance and manipulation. Physical development also helps children gain confidence and self-esteem, enabling them to feel the benefits of being healthy and active.
For further details see the Statutory Requirements for Physical Development and Movement at Foundation Stage.
Curriculum Objectives
The learning opportunities that Physical Education provides help young people to develop as:
- individuals,

Facebook today launched Trending Topics on mobile. The feature is rolling out now in the U.S. on Android, with the promise that support for iOS and other countries is "coming soon."
Facebook first introduced Trending Topics on its desktop website back in January. The company revealed at the time that it was using natural language processing (NLP) to parse strings on its social network to figure out which posts are related and which ones are taking off.
When you tap on a trending topic (on mobile and on the Web), Facebook now shows you an expanded look. You'll see conversations organized in up to five different sections.
The first two sections, "In the Story" and "Articles" will show you posts from people who are part of a story and how news organizations are covering the story, respectively. These are the primary sources, if you will.
The next three sections add even more context. "Friends and Groups" shows you what Facebook users in your network are saying, "Near the Scene" shows you posts from Facebook users near where the story is unfolding, and "Live Feed" shows you a real-time stream of reactions from Facebook users around the world.
Yet not all the content will be put in these new sections. Facebook will still show the main Trending feed for relevant posts that its algorithm finds based on engagement, timeliness, and "other factors."
In other words, the new sections are essentially just predefined filters. Trending Topics are still found the same way as before (using NLP), and they only show you public posts as well as posts that you can access elsewhere on the social network (like updates from friends or Groups that you belong to).
Facebook says the new additions will make it easier for people on the go to explore stories from different sources. So far, Trending has been doing the company well, and given that most of its users are on mobile, it has the potential to do even better there.

If you're not young nor a well-to-do hipster nor very eager to delve into your personal feelings, cute animal photos, thought experiment escalations to the nth degree and GIFs of attractive men taking showers while being captioned saying something they're not actually saying … you're probably not on Tumblr.
That said, for the few who fall in the Venn Diagram between "those on Tumblr" and "those on Windows Phone," the news that Tumblr has withdrawn its Window Phone app from the Windows Store is not good. One of the social media platform's support team members responded to Sabri Yuga enquiry on Windows Phone updates.
@windowscentral @MSPoweruser @RudyHuyn @tomwarren Tumblr no longer support Windows Phone.. pic.twitter.com/JZ2F5y0U7U

Third-party apps as well as the mobile site are still available for users to peruse. Hopefully we don't see a Snapchat-Rudy Huyn-Microsoft fight for blood situation develop here.

G-Shock will be 35 years old in April next year, and ahead of the anniversary, the company is releasing a commemorative collection of three models known as the Gold Tornado.
The collectors' models have gold colour accents against a base of symbolic black and red.
All three models in the collection have monolithic black bodies, with bright red on the back of the two-tone watch bands and the "SINCE 1983" on the watch face.
They use gold ion plating on the main metal parts including the bezel, case, and screws, with gold color accents used extensively in other areas.
Casio said it chose the color gold to symbolise the G-Shock heritage of constantly impacting the world by delivering new toughness in construction since day one, and the aspiration to maintain the brilliant presence which creates a buzz by producing astonishment and delight.
The Three Models of the Gold Tornado are:
- GPW-2000TFB features next-generation Connected Engine 3-Way module
- G-STEEL GST-B100TFB incorporates lightweight, rigid carbon materials in the bezel
- FROGMAN GWF-D1035B is a pro-grade diver's watch with gold color accents on the LCD
UK release details have not been disclosed.

Mariah Carey's Monday night holiday concert in NYC was full of wacky antics!
Last night, the 44-year-old singer took the stage at the Beacon Theatre for her All I Want for Christmas Is You: A Night of Joy and Festivity show, her first of six.
At one point during the spirited concert, Carey lost a shoe and continued to perform like a pro with one of her red heels in her hand! Apparently not even a little footwear malfunction can stop Carey from belting out her holiday hits.

Have I been busy? Am not too sure I have, because no matter what I do, I always have something to write about and even though I don't get to write and post it on here, my mind stays curious to the things I still have to write about that I haven't read somewhere and that I think someone else needs to read about.I have been busy though; I have two published books (poetry) now, had the manuscript for a while now but somehow never published it. Don't know what I was waiting for?
One of the books "Bible Study Poetry" is centered on my study of the holy book (oh how I love the holy book), written in poetic lines from my understanding of the scripture, through the Holy Spirit. I do think reading the holy book can be interpreted and given to the reader at a time when he or she is in despair, so some days what you read today, may speak to you differently tomorrow and the choice to keep reading it keeps you filled with thoughts of heaven and of the characters who in the holy book shape the stories we relate to from them.
The second book "The Pidgin in Nigeria as a Poem" is also a poetry collection on the Pidgin language spoken by the people of Nigeria. Take note, that not only Nigerians will understand or interpret the book, as Pidgin isn't a language spoken or interpreted only by Nigerians and it should and can be appreciated like any other language we choose to learn apart from our mother tongue.
I will appreciate if you purchase the books and give me a review on one or both of them. They can be found on Amazon, Kobo or Okada books.
The links on where to purchase them are listed below.
Kobo- https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/the-pidgin-in-nigeria-as-a-poem

Would I keep writing? Sure!

An Abstract is a short document that is intended to capture a potential reader of your paper. Thus in a sense it is a marketing document for your full paper.
Your abstract should be within the word limit of 200-300 words. The abstract takes the form of a paragraph, usually around 10 sentences. It appears at the top of a journal article, just under the title.
Thus the first rule of Abstract writing is that it should engage the reader by telling him or her what your paper is about and why they should read it. Although strictly not part of your Abstract, the title of the proposed paper is also important. Short attention-catching titles are the most effective. However, it is also important, for a conference paper, to ensure that the title describes the subject you are writing about. We encourage you to limit the length of the title to no more than 12 words.
With regards to the body of the Abstract you need to make a clear statement of the topic of your paper and your research question. You need to say how your research was/is being undertaken. For example, is it empirical or theoretical? Is it quantitative or qualitative? Perhaps it follows the critical research method. What value are your findings and to whom will they be of use?
The Abstract should then briefly describe the work to be discussed in your paper and also give a concise summary of the findings. Somewhere around 5 Key Words are normally required and they should be the words which most closely reflect the content of the paper. Finally your Abstract should not include diagrams and in general references are not required in the Abstract.
During the abstract selection process the following 12 points are used as a guide. We strongly recommend that you ensure your abstract satisfies these points.
Authors who do not follow these guidelines are more likely to have their work rejected.
The Abstract Submission deadline is 24 November 2014. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT USING THE FORM.
You should receive an automatic response that your abstract submission has been made. You will hear from us again by 3 November 2014 once the selection committee has considered all submissions.

Why should you choose WiTopia?
Actually, we're not insane. We completely realize we could charge a great deal more — as our imitators do — but the aggressive price point is by design. We don't gouge you and then hope you don't shop around. We, instead, give you a fantastic deal up front and make our money over time with positive word-of-mouth to fuel growth.
And, don't worry that we're cutting corners somewhere. Actually, we'd guess one of the reasons we're able to charge so much less is that our infrastructure is superior, and we have achieved economies of scale that others lack.
But, mainly, we simply have a long-term strategy versus a short term one — a strategy that ensures we keep you happy year after year and that you tell your friends and colleagues about us.
Although subject to debate in other areas, size definitely matters in networking. The WiTopia VPN network dwarfs the others. Hundreds and hundreds of servers in 51 cities in 34 countries! (click here to see comparison chart) A hugely redundant and diverse mix of Internet Service Providers and routes for your data. Real-time unlimited location switching. We got the goods.
Some of our engineers have worked with IP networking and data security before there barely even was such a thing. Most of us were early employees at UUNET, the world's first and largest commercial ISP — which quickly grew to carry half of the World's Internet traffic.
Since the early 90's, we have designed, built, and managed Internet and data security solutions for thousands of individuals, SMBs, Multi-National Corporations, and governments – not to mention designed, built, and managed the underlying infrastructure and systems to support those solutions.
When we launched personalVPN™ in March 2005, we were the first to utilize openVPN for a commercial VPN service.
Today, customers in over 160 countries use WiTopia for VPN services. Many have since tried to copy us, but there is no substitute for experience. We've already fixed what they don't realize will break yet.
Bottom line is that we know what we're doing and that's a good thing since we're handling something as important as your data.
After purchase, you should be up and running within a few minutes.
Although VPNs are complex applications, we've invested a great deal of time and money into developing a completely online setup process for our VPN services. No additional software or hardware is required.
We closely monitor our network and make certain we always have gobs of extra bandwidth, servers, and power to easily support peak customer demands. This, plus many other tricks of the trade, keeps your VPN running fast.
To keep our "Geek-cred" intact, you connect through carrier-grade infrastructure operating in hardened secure data centers with uninterruptible diesel generator back up power. This, plus our powerful and scalable UNIX environment, comprehensive network monitoring and management system, and a love for what we do equals network uptime and availability of over 99.99% since launch.
This is all we do. We're not selling ads or unrelated services. This isn't a side gig. Protecting your privacy and security has our full attention and is how we make our livelihood. And, we happen to enjoy it — which can make all the difference.
All customers enjoy live support 365 days a year and we serve it up however you want. Want an answer now? Click on chat button in lower right corner of any page on our website. Rather send it to us now and deal with it later when you have time? Just drop us a mail to email@example.com and we'll auto-generate a ticket for tracking and instantly assign to a human support agent for resolution. Don't want to deal with a human at all? Rather learn more about it yourself? Check out our comprehensive Support section with answers to most any VPN question you may have.
There's no polite way to say this. Have you seen all the the other VPN "companies" that have popped up? Buyer beware. When we launched all alone in Early 2005, we knew we had a good idea and others would follow. Frankly, it's not too hard to throw up some VPN servers and a website. What's hard is running a truly reliable, safe, and high performing network and scaling it to hundreds and thousands of servers globally. But, don't take our word for it. Give us a try. We guarantee we will impress you and earn your business year after year.
- Full Support for openVPN SSL, L2TP/IPsec, Cisco IPsec, and PPTP VPN protocols.
- Global VPN Network with IP addresses in 50 cities in 33 countries.
- Unlimited and Instantaneous switching between all VPN servers globally.
- Unlimited, Unthrottled bandwidth.
- Support for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OSX, Linux, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android,Google Chromebook, and HP webOS.
- Free SMTP Mail Relay – ensures seamless operation of your current mail service while the VPN is connected.
- Free Secure DNS service – for maximum security, privacy, and performance.
- Alternate Ports and other tricks to get you around almost any block.
- 256-bit encryption options
- CloakBox™ VPN Router to plug your VoIP ATA, Xbox, PS3, AppleTV or other hardware into so they can utilize the VPN service.
We're a pure privacy and security service provider with nothing to compromise that standard.
We'll mention this again. Except in cases of abuse, like someone tries to run a phone company over a single account, we will never limit your throughput or institute "tiers" of performance. Since launch in March 2005 we have never had to limit a single customer. Using the VPN service for VoIP, Video, and audio streaming is encouraged. Enjoy!
Simply put, we have a vested interest in vigorously protecting your privacy and providing the most secure VPN service possible. After all, that is what you pay us to do and how we earn our livelihood. We joke around a bit sometimes but take this matter quite seriously. We have more information concerning this on the WiTopia FAQ or feel free to ask us anything at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We find we're quite unique in doing this. We're not sure why and it's a bit sad, really.
Most competitors have no guarantee or, if they do, levy conditions in the fine print and/or make you jump through hoops to get your money back. Who has time for that game?
We realize that some may want to try the service out and find it's not right for them. Or, for whatever reason, we just didn't have a love connection.
We'll always give you a full refund for the annual subscription of personalVPN™ or personalVPN Pro™ service within 30 days of purchase…just for asking. We may inquire as to why so we ensure it is not some easily correctable configuration change, or a misunderstanding, but we don't require you to give us a reason.

Passenger rail plans on track: MP
Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro says plans to run a new passenger train from Havelock to Toronto are still on track.
Del Mastro told Peterborough County council Wednesday that an important engineering study is done and will be delivered soon to both the federal and provincial governments.
He also said a new study predicts about 2,500 riders daily on the Shining Water Railway lines.
That's about three times the number of riders projected in an earlier study, completed by the provincial transportation agency Metrolinx.
"That would make it Via Rail's highest density line," Del Mastro said.
The train won't cost taxpayers any money, he also said….
A few years ago, Del Mastro had announced the train would start running July 1, 2014.
But the plans didn't come together on time, and on Wednesday he said it'll be "a couple of years" before the first train pulls out of Havelock.

The Path To Finding Better Consulting
Major Reasons Why It Is Crucial to Hire a Business Innovation Consultant
The performance of any kind of business is usually dependent on a combination of factors that must be followed by the business for the business to be successful and one of these factors is in the kind of products that the business is able to make. A business should be very careful to be able to meet the needs of every person that is interested in the products that it is offering because by doing that, you open up the chances of being able to increase the amount of product that you're able to make and to reach a higher target market.
Although businesses are usually made to be able to meet the profits and to help the person who is setting the business, it is also important to be able to do what is right when it …

Buy Bitcoins or Monero locally with cash or bank deposit through LocalBitcoins or LocalMonero
Got some crypto you want to trade for another type of crypto? Want to start day trading? Try these crypto only exchanges.
4a. Bitcoin
For me, Bitcoin is as good as cash. Better even. I've been using it for years, and we can expect it to be in use for many years to come.
You can use the static QR code here for the static public key 3DtokFHvFP5GxYw7jzJQFKWZUeA1w42ob1 which will leave your transaction visible to anyone on the blockchain
4b. Monero (XMR)
Monero is an alternative to Bitcoin with much better security. I strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with this technology. I can receive Monero using the address
4c. Ethereum
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.
These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property. 0xc9d9C94466D770b94b7a6d01B06d31d32E726601
4d. Litecoin
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities. Mathematics secures the network and empowers individuals to control their own finances. Litecoin features faster transaction confirmation times and improved storage efficiency than the leading math-based currency. With substantial industry support, trade volume and liquidity, Litecoin is a proven medium of commerce complementary to Bitcoin. LeUscysv3yCkQBPsjeXhBFsEEUVoCdAUHm
4e. Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash emerged from a "fork in the blockchain" due to differences of opinion on how the popular cryptocurrency should move forward.
Only use this if you know what you are doing! qr8y9u769y5aa9nmvejk6d7f984tk44ddqap3ujp6z
4f. Dash
Dash aims to be the most user-friendly and scalable payments-focused cryptocurrency in the world. The Dash network features instant transaction confirmation, double spend protection, anonymity equal to that of physical cash, a self-governing, self-funding model driven by incentivized full nodes and a clear roadmap for on-chain scaling to up to 400MB blocks using custom-developed open source hardware. While Dash is based on Bitcoin and compatible with many key components of the Bitcoin ecosystem, its two-tier network structure offers significant improvements in transaction speed, anonymity and governance. This section of the documentation describes these and many more key features that set Dash apart in the blockchain economy. For full details, please read the Dash whitepaper. Dash XgMtjzN5WHxsEmEDetYjyr6WJDNEKqRSz8
4g. Zcash
Zcash (ZEC) is another Crypto currency like bitcoin but with a few different features. Like Bitcoin it is based on a decentralised blockchain but allows for anonymity behind transaction amounts and parties involved. In Bitcoin if you know someone's address you can follow their transactions and you can see which all the addresses and their transaction amounts – so its quite clear how much money is moving around, with ZCash all the information is encrypted. You can send me Zcash at; t1Vp4mu9RGkMrzTcCZm2Ee76GHqqYSdQNfB
However you decide to support my work, know that it is appreciated. Right now, all you get is the satisfaction of knowing you've helped, but we're working on some kind of rewards program as well. I'll update this page and make a blog post when that happens.
In Liberty,

The module is specifically designed for robust performance in the presence of SDI pathological patterns for SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M serial rates.
The SFP transmitter provides an excellent solution for transmission at 1310nm to provide error-free transmission of signals from 50Mbps to 3Gbps over single mode fiber. The product is RoHS 6/6 compliant and is designed and tested in accordance with industry safety standards. The transceiver is Class I laser product per U.S. FDA/CDRH and international IEC-60825 standards.
The TRPV3GET1C000E2G connects to standard 20-pad SFP connector for hot plug capability. This allows the system designer to make configuration changes or maintenance by simply plugging in different transceivers without removing the power supply from the host system.
The SFP transmitter also provides extensive operational status monitoring through an I2C interface. Output optical power, bias current, supply voltage and operating temperature are monitored. If a parameter monitored is outside the pre-defined range, the alarm/warning flag associated with the parameter will be raised.

being mccrary
last month jim mccrary, diy poet, ex-blogger, and great friend, sent me an email that he was planning a trip to visit his son quincy and daughter-in-law melinda who live in richmond, a city a little east of san francisco, and maybe i could drive up for a visit.
well, fuck yeah. i am normally monkish in my habits. i rarely drive. i hardly go to readings. i enjoy my family and my solitude. i am also, i think, a loyal friend even when he thinks he's rather monkish -- a foolish notion, fer sure -- loves the company of friends. so yeah. i drove yesterday to richmond to visit the mccrarys.
ah technology, where would i be without you. see, i've driven past richmond many, many times but never had occassion to visit the town itself. so i used google maps to see what the younger mccrary's house is located and the best way to get there. spooky to have so much info at one's fingertips but google maps was utterly brilliant in its accuracy. i found the house without difficulty.
i was a bit late in my arrival. obligations at home kept me from leaving sac to get to our appointed rendezvous time, 2:00 p.m. i was about 20 minutes late. i found jim standing in the front room as i knocked on the door. it was love at first sight.
silly? no man. see mccrary is one of those dudes that i've learned the most from in my adult life. his example, his poetics, his self-publishing, his no b.s. attitude, and his keen humor make him a singular presence not only in the small world of poetry but in the wider world of human beings. we hugged in greeting and sat down with quincy for a long visit that didn't end till 11:00 p.m.
later melinda arrived home from work. we went to a local thai restaurant for some delicious nosh. what did we talk about? all sorts of politics. movies and tv shows and w.s. burroughs too. but mostly politics. i don't know why but the political banter was passionate, stimulating and refreshing. still there was so much to say and so little time to say it. plus melinda and quincy had to get up in the morning to go to work. jim was heading to s.f. in the morning to spend a day with an old friend before catching a flight back to lawrence. i can talk forever. it's in the lopez genes. my father and my brothers are all non-stop gabbers. the only way to get one of us to shut up is to talk over and cut off the speaker. it's a terrible trait, i know, and i try to remember that when i'm with friends that i need to shut up now and then. i did my best.
i had a long drive in front of me. i bid adieu to quincy and melinda, petted their two basset hounds goodbye, and waived farewell to ella the cat. i asked jim to walk me to my car. we spoke for a few minutes more as i enjoyed the warm east bay breeze. we hugged our goodbyes. i then slipped the cd of a electronica jam band that quincy made for me into the stereo and then drove off quietly and without urgency east to my family who i knew were firmly and soundly asleep.
below are the pics of me and mccrary. i couldn't decide which ones to post so i'm publishing them all.

"A chest full of paradoxes. Between simple and complex, displaying and concealing, chaotic yet serene. Massive but still featherlight. It's a highly modular system based on interchangeability. An ever evolving unit for an ever evolving way of living. No existing hinges or tray guides were used. Everything is handmade of one beautiful and sustainable material: european oak.

Hi everyone,
I've finally gotten around to converting basementjack.com to use a Content Management System (in this case, wordpress).
Over the next few weeks I'll be figuring out how to add nice image libraries and probably a few home theater related articles.

Updated November. 22, 2017 08:47
A fairy tale is created just reminiscing the path Korean bob sleigh has walked through. The protagonists are coach Lee Yong-jong, Won Yun-jong (pilot) and Seo Young-woo (breakman), who are from South Korea, a barren land for sleighs. They were the first Asians ever to win the gold medal at the World Cup. Currently, these players are going through the World Cup season (Nov. 9-Jan. 22, 2018) to finish the fairy tale with a happy ending at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
As they were not able to meet the expectations at the first and second rounds of the World Cup, concerns over whether they have the potential to overcome this crisis arouse within Korea. The "story of overcoming crisis" from the protagonists, who were preparing to depart at the Incheon International Airport on Oct. 21, may show how this story ends.
The index finger of coach Lee is calloused. This is from secretly writing down orders of foreign countries' team coaches at the playing fields. Since there was no one to seek for advice as a newly appointed coach in 2010, Lee continued to keep recording his secret records and there was a reason behind this.
In the winter of 2010, coach Lee and his team participated in the American Cup, which was the first game since Lee was appointed coach. The players were all beginners at that time and suffered from multiple overturn accidents. Lee was sorry to see the injured athletes. The future also seemed desolate.
Now, Lee has more than 30 notebooks filled with the know-hows of other teams, such as "stay close to the right lane at the first course" and "lower your posture and drive." In every international tournament, Lee would roam around waiting rooms. He paid attention to what coaches of other teams said through walkie-talkies. This is how the reference book that laid the foundation of Korean bob sleigh was created.
The bob sleigh that the protagonists of this story started fearlessly was a tough friend. The time goes back to the winter of 2010 when there was an off-season training in the United States. It was when Seo started to ride sleighs for the first time with Won. The sleighs that he was on would turnover every time. The number of injuries on their body grew and so did their fear.
Won's shoulders were heavy as he was in complete charge of driving the sleigh. Like Seo, he was a track-and-field athlete until college and confident of having better athletic ability than anyone else. "The sleigh would overturn seven to eight times out of 10 times," Won said. "I was so sorry for Seo. I would also feel a sense of shame to see how bad I was doing in this field."
When the two players were going through complete psychological breakdown, they did not step back but rather moved forward with determination. Won observed every single video clip of games played by foreign players and identified the characteristics of different sections of each race field. The "wall of the world" would suddenly look so high. "(After seeing other players) The differences looked incomparable and competing them seemed almost impossible," Won said. "However, we anticipated for the future and did what we could do each year."
The two players have the third tournament of the World Cup on Saturday in Whistler, Canada. It is a place where they received a medal from the wife of the late Malcolm Lloyd and wore the first gold medal around their neck a year ago. "We shall move forward towards the gold medal in Pyeongchang," the ending of the fairy tale that Won and Seo dream of is written on the gold medal they received.

Things That Injury Victims Should Know
There are different kinds of injuries that we may experience and it would be best if we could take them seriously so that we would be able to take care of ourselves. There are a lot of people who would just shrug off their injuries thinking that it may get better and it is something that we should not do. There are injuries that may be able to recover for several months but there are also those that would last for the remainder of your life because you have ignored it when it was still not serious. We should not take injuries lightly especially if it has been caused by other people, we should know that we are able to file a legal case against someone that has injured us that is why we should get the services of a personal injury lawyer. A personal injury lawyer is a specialist on what needs to be done in order for you to get some justice on the injuries that you have sustained. You would surely need to have a lawyer that would specialize in your case like a personal injury lawyer as they would be able to help you out in getting the compensation for your injuries and for you to be able to have a much higher chance of success in court.
It is important that we should be able to get a lot of rest when we are recovering from our injuries that is why we should stay in our home if we would not need to go to court or if we would not need to do something that is important. It is important that you should be able to follow the instructions of your doctors as it would be able to help you hasten your recovery. If you would need to have some help in doing some of your daily activities then you should not be ashamed to reach out as there would surely be a lot of people that would provide their assistance to you. There are also some injuries that would require the services of physical therapists and you should know that their services would surely be able to help you get better in just a short period of time. There are a lot of people who would get depressed because of their injuries that is why we should make sure that we are able to keep a positive attitude all the time and celebrate all of the progress that we make so that we would be able to have a much easier time in handling all of the injuries that we have.

About Sing First!
Sing First! is based on the First Steps in Music program created by Dr. John Feierabend. The program was created through careful research to appropriately develop children socially, mentally, and physically. Check out what PBS has to say about music education before age 3!
"Sing First! is a music program designed for children 0-7 and their parents or caretakers who love them to attend together. Our classes provide a safe, unique, and joyful experience in which children can develop emotionally, physically, and socially; while fostering a lifelong love of music and deepening their bond with their parents. Each 45 minute class is an explosion of fun full of singing activities, instrumental play, dance and movement! Parents will take away skills to continue the fun and education at home and children will take away:
- Inspiration to listen, feel, and move to music
- Stimulated imaginative skills
- Stronger sensory awareness
- Development of language and motor skills
- Sense of ease in social situations
Meet Justine!
"I am so excited to be a part of Sing First! I received my Bachelors of Music degree at the University of West GA. My history includes over fourteen years of involvement in various music education programs including jobs such as being an elementary music teacher in Douglas and Cherokee Counties for a total of six years, the Music Director of Vacation Bible School at St. Michael the Archangel in Woodstock Music Minister/ Choir Director of Our Lady of La Salette Church in Waleska, and involvement with the Early College Program at the University of West Georgia. As well as being a studied percussionist, I am also a classically trained pianist with over fifteen years of studio lessons. You may also see me at Woodstock High School football games due to the fact that I am one of the marching band's percussion instructors, specializing in the front ensemble (pit). I was lucky enough just over a year ago to become a mommy for the first time. Having seen the positive effects of sharing music with my own sweet little boy, I am so excited to share that knowledge, passion, and love with other children and their caretakers!"
Justine lives in Woodstock with her husband Joe, their son Beethoven, and their cat Wasabi.
Meet Jillian!
"Sing First! is a dream come true! Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was active throughout school playing the flute and piccolo. I was also lucky to be surrounded by family who played and exposed me to many different styles of music. I have worked as the Music Director of Vacation Bible School at St. Michael the Archangel in Woodstock for many years. I have also had the joy of singing and playing in many different church choirs throughout the years. I was fortunate enough to enroll my daughter in First Steps in Music (Sing First! uses the same curriculum) when she was 6 months old and was so impressed with the effects it had on her, my husband and myself, that I couldn't wait to start my own business based on these principles!"
Jillian lives in Canton with her husband Bart, their children Evangelina, Matteo, Leonardo and their dog Hank.

Freedom . . . it's something we long for at the very core of our being. We long to be free from the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical weights that beset us.
In my 30+ years of walking with Jesus, I've found going through The Ultimate Journey experience to be one of the most transforming, life-altering, paradigm-shifting experiences I've had. Hundreds of others have had the same experience.
So why take The Ultimate Journey?
Life Changing
Biblical: The Ultimate Journey isn't some newfangled philosophy. It's based on biblical beliefs and the biblical experience of the Israelites journeying from the bondage of Egypt to the freedom of the Promised Land.
Freedom Bringing: it's a powerful tool God has used again and again to free His beloved children of the emotional, spiritual, and mental weights that weight them down.
Paradigm-Shifting: so many of us are muddling through life with faulty paradigms or belief systems that trip us up again and again. The Ultimate Journey helps you define and discover your faulty paradigms and then replace them with paradigms based on the freeing truths of the Bible.
Hope Infusing: there are few things more weighty on the heart than feeling like you'll never be able to get past something that's hindering your life and relationships. The Ultimate Journey helps you work through and push through those seemingly impossible obstacles.
Healing and Wholeness: whenever Jesus touches our hearts and lives bringing His healing and wholeness to our brokenness . . . it's amazing. The Ultimate Journey is a tool Jesus uses to bring His beloved children His healing and wholeness.
Dynamic Church Experience: Church bodies from all over the U.S. have small groups going through The Ultimate Journey. As they do, they witness God bringing dynamic wholeness and healing to their church body both individually and corporately. For Pastors: A Few Ways The Ultimate Journey Will Help Transform Your Congregation
Affordable: If there are no churches in your area that offer The Ultimate Journey as 13 week phases, you can go through each phase in 2-3 day turbos at The Ultimate Journey headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa.
On-Going: As the name suggests, going through The Ultimate Journey is a journey rather than a destination. As you continue your journey, there are ways to keep connected, growing, and actively working through the things life brings your way.
Forward Moving: As I've talked with believers about going through The Ultimate Journey, the most common objection I hear is that God tells us not to live our lives focused on the past. This is very true.
Yet, until we deal with our past no matter how hard we try we will continue dwelling on it consciously or subconsciously — Is. 43:18-19. When we've dealt with and faced our past, is when we will be able to truly see and experience the new thing God is doing in our lives.
So when will you be taking The Ultimate Journey?
