I love electro and own a couple of other power boxes but they just weren't doing it for me, either being underpowered or having fiddly interfaces that always just lost 'the moment' ending in frustration. I decided to take the plunge and buy the 312B, from Regulation, earlier in the year. It's expensive and some might say a bit outdated having not been upgraded for a long time but after using it for a few months I can honestly say it's worth every penny and beats other more modern units hands down. In short, expensive but still the best. Oh and the service and delivery times from Regulation were fantastic!

Allegiant review in 9 GIFs12:00 AM
I finally finished Allegiant which means I'm back on social media (I had been avoiding spoilers). So here is my spoiler free reaction to the final book in the Divergent series.
|At Tris and Four's relationship
|At the boring plot
After I finished and realized the series is over. Like for real. There wouldn't be any more books in the series. EVER.
So my overall feelings for this book? I had a lot of anticipation and a lot of disappointment.

You wiped with what?!?
For the moment I was excited that he got into the bathroom to piss, until I heard it. So I ran upstairs to grab a roll and by the time I made it down stairs he was leaving the bathroom. I asked him if he wiped. Because I sure as hell wasn't cleaning the remnants of what I just heard out of his shorts tomorrow, or ever. He said yes. I asked with what? He pointed. Holy mother fng jesus this kids ass hole is going to have bleach blisters. I tried to get him into the shower but he was still asleep. My kid wiped with dual action Lysol wipes. It is essentially sandpaper dipped in bleach.
I have so many questions, such as did you think it was toilet paper? Why do you suspect the toilet paper was wet, do you normally use wet tp? When you you felt bleachy sandpaper upon your ass, why did you continue? Did it burn? Do you think kitchen cleaner will keep you from having skids?
All these questions will never be answered because the kid sleep shit...

The First Roadracing
Season of the 21st
Century is Off to a Great Start !!
OMRRA racetrack promoters
hosted a swap meet the same weekend as the races. It was
a great idea...the event drew bike
enthusiasts from both Oregon and Washington in by the thousands! Suddenly the
grandstands started filling up with bikers and sportbikers that sat there
with their newly purchased used bike stuff... most of these people were seeing
roadracing for
the very first time !!!
Portland is a lot different than Daytona. The pavement, climate, and track
design all change the tuning requirements. It's a roadcourse that has a
horsepower zapping long front straight. The kind of track that tests the
new equipment in a different way.
These new roadracing fans weren't disappointed as the top OMMRA racers rode the wheels off their Yamaha R6's...

Judge denies defense in murder case access to probe of Suffolk police shooting
A judge Tuesday denied a defendant in a murder case access to police and prosecutors' probes involving a detective who investigated the shooting of an unarmed cabdriver by an off-duty Nassau cop.
State Supreme Court Justice William Condon in Riverhead issued his ruling from the bench, saying Suffolk prosecutors do not intend to call the detective, Ronald Tavares, as a witness in the murder case. Therefore, the judge concluded, the inquiries into the cabdriver shooting are not relevant to the murder case.
Tavares took the defendant Aston Barth's statement in the murder case. He also was one of two detectives who took the cabdriver's statement.
"I am extremely disappointed," said Barth's attorney, Scott Gross of Garden City.
The defense in the Barth case had asked for a Suffolk police internal affairs report and information gathered by Suffolk prosecutors. Gross argued that the report was relevant to his case because it could shed light on Tavares' credibility.
Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota and the police objected to the defense request. Prosecutors said their probe did not produce a report.
Suffolk Assistant County Attorney Rudolph Baptiste, representing the police department, confirmed that a police internal affairs report exists, but is not relevant to the Barth case.
Last week, Condon said he would review the material before ruling, but he made his decision without doing so.
The judge also denied the defense request, he said, because the Suffolk internal affairs report is under seal at the order of a federal magistrate presiding over a lawsuit filed by the cabdriver.
Gross had argued that his client should have access to the information under the Brady rule, which requires prosecutors to disclose any exculpatory evidence they have to criminal defendants.
"The Brady rule does not apply to individual witnesses, but to the department as a whole," Gross said after court. "Whether Tavares is being called as a witness is immaterial."
In the murder case, Barth, 33, of Central Islip, is charged with killing next-door neighbor Jason Campbell, 35, in December with an ax.
In February 2011, off-duty Nassau Officer Anthony DiLeonardo shot and injured the cabdriver, Thomas Moroughan, during a traffic dispute in Huntington Station, a Nassau internal affairs said. Suffolk police arrested Moroughan and charged him with assaulting DiLeonardo. Three months later, Spota dropped the charges.
The Nassau internal affairs report found that Moroughan signed a sworn statement Suffolk homicide detectives wrote for him while in the hospital with a broken nose, on morphine and with two bullets still inside him. The statement incriminated Moroughan and exonerated DiLeonardo, the report states.
Later, it was shown that the Moroughan statement included events contradicted by the police department's own investigation, the report concluded.
Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace Law School in Manhattan, said Suffolk prosecutors should turn over the files.
"To me, this information would be exculpatory or information that would impeach their credibility if they were witnesses at a trial and where their credibility may be questioned," Gershman said.
Baptiste told the judge it was routine for the police department to open an internal affairs investigation when it is sued.
Baptiste and prosecutor Glenn Kurtzrock, who is handling the murder case, told the judge they have not read the Suffolk report, but assured the judge that it does not contain exculpatory material.
"It's double talk," Gross said. "If they haven't looked at it, how would they know."

What a busy week!
First up we dealt with a gastro / flu bug that slowly worked its way through the whole family. I was the first to succumb and took a couple of days to recover, fortunately it then waited a day or two until it hit Billy... Then Pete came down with it on Friday.
In the midst of that, I'd offered to help my FIL with the accounts of an organisation he's involved in, after their treasurer left them in the lurch and tax paperwork was due last week. That took up way more time than I'd anticipated but its done now.
What else? Oh, we got family photos taken for my Mum's b'day. The last time we had a family photo taken, I was 18! My eldest niece is now older than that :) So my nieces, sister, parents, Billy & I had a photo shoot done by a friend of mine - the very talented Melissa at EWI photography! I've had a sneak peek of some of the photos, and can't wait to see the rest. (Pete was sick, so we have to get some more taken with just Billy, me and him - it was too hard to co-ordinate another time when all the families would be available!)
Pete and I went down to Sydney on Friday for a work exhibition show - seminars on the Internet and access via mobile devices etc. We stayed overnight in a lovely room with Harbour "glimpses".
On Saturday, we went to watch Bell Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. It wasn't the worst I've seen, but it certainly wasn't the best. The acting was strong, but some of the stage direction left me a little bemused. And at two hours without a lot of action, I had to fight the urge for a nanna nap a couple of times :) It was quite a relaxing weekend on the whole.
There was also a trip to the chiropractor, and the usual cubs, drama and archery. And it was my birthday last week as well. This was my present from the boys - a Sony e-reader, complete with funky case and its own light!
So definitely a week of ups and downs.. I'm hoping for a less "full-on" week next week!

You look great! You must be very proud about all the weight you've lost!
That's an interesting poster for Julius Caesar. It made me laugh. :o) But I don't think it could top the performance of Midsummer Night's Dream my husband and I saw in London twenty years ago. The whole thing was staged in what I can only describe as a giant wading pool and Puck was played by a Frenchwoman who we recognized as a contortionist from Cirque du Soleil. That was a strange show!

My experiences with spirituality.
Alright, well I have a boatload of info for you, so hang on tight. I'll start with the pre-incarnative conditions because it leads in to everything else. I've never gotten info like this before so it was an interesting experience for me as well. It started actually before I did the seated session, I started to get info. I first saw that prior to this life you had been inhabiting a anthropomorphic Wolf-like body on a planet I later learned is in the Alpha Centauri system. You and the peoples you were with dwelt within the Fourth Density of this planet. You had not originally been of these people, however. You came to them as an aid due to their calling. They were experiencing conflict amongst themselves as they progressed from Fourth Density in to Fifth Density as to the proper relationship between love and wisdom. So they called out for help from their hearts, desiring to learn how to resolve this conflict. You responded. You are a member of the Ra social memory complex. You answered this call because it would not only be of aid to that species, it would also aid Earth and the Ra complex all in one go. You volunteered with your mate to go to the planet in the Alpha Centauri system and become part of their social memory complex for a time to learn how you might aid them. This plan was then decided. You and your mate were to come here to Earth and incarnate so that you could gain the experiences that would assist this complex from Alpha Centauri in learning how conflict works and can be resolved. By becoming part of the Fourth Density complex for a time you would add your experience to their memory complex and so give them experience and understanding they otherwise would never have been able to access themselves. Thus, you incarnated here to aid this complex which will also help Ra to balance wisdom and love in moving towards the gateway density. The conditions of the incarnation are somewhat peculiar however and you may be somewhat shocked. You and your mate, who is also of Ra and is female, chose to both incarnate in to a scenario in which there would be a lot of conflict similar to that experienced by the complex of Alpha Centauri. (They do not have a 'name'.) So, she incarnated first as your mother and then you came along next. She is very... creative. I think she believes you'll be very impressed by how she set up and built the character of your mother so you would never suspect it was her. She also believes you'll be able to forgive eachother. Apparently that is why you chose this plan, because you are able to forgive eachother easily. As a side note, the reason you chose to be homosexual is so that you would not be focused on females which would further separate you from your mate who was incarnate as your mother. This would be part of what creates the initial and fundamental conflict. So, with all that being said, you can see why you have some confusion. You are not only taking on the distortions of a second memory complex which is in a density below your native density and have the veil from incarnating in the Earth field but you have built your life to create a certain type of conflict with your mother whom is your female soul-mate in disguise. (This probably sounds really weird, I know, but that's what I got and I triple checked.) Now, on to the actual working. Most of what I found was residual but there were a few situations to deal with. At first I had felt a distinct antagonistic sort of vibe around you and as I was looking around I kept finding fear and eventually realized there was an entity shadowing you. I banished the entity which revealed it was attached to the name Jehovah. At first I thought that was the name of the entity, then I realized the entity, and others who were then trying to get in, were attracted to the name itself. I found inscribed inside your middle back the name Jehovah as a thought-form. I learned this was a thought-form which had been created and molded over many years of exposure to fear and Jehovah as an angry God. The name itself came to represent your fearful energy. I then erased the name from your energy field to clear you of its influence and invoked Michael and Raphael to guard you and aid you in your healing. There was no implant in your heart but there was a lot of fear in your body that was collected around your heart which I did my best to clear. The banishing had the most effect. I did find a blockage in the throat, solar plexus and around the right side of your head which I worked to clear and get moving. It all drew me back down to the root though where I found a lot of disabled and unstable structures. There seems to be some deep survival fear and I noticed that there seems to be a lack of 'father' energy in your foundation which could also add to why you idolize certain masculine forms which have taken on the male image in your life. There is a disconnect in your root through sacral to solar plexus because of the imbalance that is in your family experience. I think what you might be able to take from this is to realize that your very life is helping an entire planet (which is pretty cool) and that your family has a lot of importance to you even if you don't always get along with them. Much love to you, my friend. These words are yours and you may use or share them as you wish. Very interesting to say the least!
You were a philosopher and so served others well with your wisdom. Yes your mate there was also your Ra mate, and still female.
You are very close to harvestable balance and heart activation. There is only one major aspect of balance that needs to be equalized and that is self-forgiveness. Soften your heart for yourself and it will help your harvestability.
Kel'Ir is my anthro-wolf guide. He was brought to my attention by Tanner.
I'm so glad he is watching over me.
I resonate with him, and his guidance. I only hope that I can learn to listen.
To be able to hear my guide speak is one of my greatest desires.
I no longer desire to BE an anthro. Because that would take me away
from experiencing life as a human. I wanted the human experience,
which is why I am here. I will have all of eternity after this life
to experience being an anthro again.
Speak to me Kel'Ir. Let me know how I'm doing. I'm trying to find you.
I don't believe you are hidden from me. I just have to open my spiritual
eyes to find you. My spiritual ears to hear you.
We can have a wonderful life together. I just need faith that it's possible.
Possible to know you, to love you. I am your nephew spiritually speaking,
and it's great to know that. I like it when we hug. I can mentally imagine
us doing that.
There can be magic between us. You can show me how to live a life of love.
To have unconditional love for those around me, such as you show me.
I like that you don't judge me because you have no expectations of me.
I like that we can have this relationship.
I don't really have much more to say.
Thank you Kel'Ir for your guidance so far.
Let me not forget you.
Since I learned about we are shifting through billions of parallel realities per second, which we experience based on our vibration, I immediately started raising my vibration and focused on creating an anthro world. But rather than "creating" it, I'm more focused on the feeling of it already being here. I've done this quite intently.
But I'm getting to a point now where I realize the possibility that I might not experience that world in this lifetime. It's only a nagging suspicion. I don't focus on it too much. But I have to realize that I need to be ok in every moment, without expecting this world. Just finding the joy in the moment is the purpose.
But it makes me cry some thinking about what if I never get to hug a real anthro in this life?
Then it makes me realize that, when that world arrives, I feel I won't deserve how amazing it will be. I've gone from struggling with humility when I realized the power of intent in shifting reality and seeing the world changing around me, to such a deep respect of the process that I feel like I don't deserve the wonderful things that are happening to me. I desperately want the new world that I'm envisioning, but not at the expense of anyone else. I need to learn to be ok in sharing the creative powers with everyone else, instead of being greedy in trying to create "my world". This is one of the many challenges I'm facing. I need to learn to be ok with who I am right now, whether or not I get to experience this new world in this life.
I'm currently using my indigo ray and it's ability to change matter to transform my body. I feel some pretty interesting effects, so will have to see how it goes.

Strasburg feeling better after missed start
WASHINGTON — Nationals rookie right-hander Stephen Strasburg first sensed tightness in his pitching shoulder "a couple days ago," he said Wednesday, chalking it up to "kind of hitting the wall a little bit."
A day after being scratched minutes before what was supposed to be the 10th major league start of his much-hyped career, Strasburg said he felt "a lot better" and his range of motion is "starting to come back."
Washington general manager Mike Rizzo and trainer Lee Kuntz said Strasburg did not indicate he had a problem before Tuesday, when his pregame bullpen session was stopped about a half-dozen throws in.
"I wasn't really scared, because it's kind of something that I've had happen to me before," Strasburg said, referring to feeling stiffness in his right shoulder while in college at San Diego State. "It wasn't on just one pitch, so that's obviously a big thing."
He took anti-inflammatory medicine Wednesday and underwent treatment that Kuntz said included "stretching, strengthening … using heat, using ice." But the No. 1 overall pick in the June 2009 amateur draft did not toss a ball. Instead, during batting practice, Strasburg stood in the right-field grass, chatting with pitching coach Steve McCatty.
The plan is for Strasburg to go at least two days – and perhaps three or four – without throwing at all. It's not clear when he will next pitch in a game; his next scheduled appearance would be Sunday.
"We don't have an update whether he's going to pitch Sunday or when he'll pitch again, if not Sunday," manager Jim Riggleman said. "We're just really going to give it another day or two before we do anything."
The Nationals have been quite careful in the way they have brought along Strasburg since giving him a record $15.1 million contract right before the August 2009 deadline for getting deals done.
Even though Strasburg was dominant at times during spring training, he was moved to minor league camp in Florida, then began the season at Double-A Harrisburg. The righty was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse in early May, before making his highly anticipated major league debut June 8 – and, somehow, surpassing expectations by striking out 14 batters in a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He left that game after seven innings, part of a pattern of being eased into the rigors of the major leagues. The Nationals have said they would end Strasburg's season when he reaches 160 innings, even if that cap were to come in late August or early September.
So far in 2010, he's thrown 109 2-3 innings total, including in the minors, which essentially matches his count in his final college season at San Diego State: 109 innings.
"I'm just at the point in the season where I'm kind going down uncharted territory," Strasburg said Wednesday, speaking to reporters in a hallway outside the home clubhouse at Nationals Park.
Asked to describe what he feels in his shoulder – the official team diagnosis was "inflammation" – Strasburg said: "After I throw the ball, when I finish."
He continued: "I've been learning a lot here, and when you're playing this many games throughout the season, you're going to start feeling things in your body that you wouldn't otherwise thought you'd feel. You know, little things getting to feel a little off. … It really is a blessing in disguise, because I know what this feels like to get to the 100-game point, getting right up to this many innings. And I know how to prepare for it now. And next year, God willing, this won't happen again, and we'll be in playoff contention."
He's been by far the brightest spot in another last-place season for the Nationals in 2010, going 5-2 with a 2.32 ERA, 75 strikeouts and 15 walks in 54 1-3 innings.

Christmas Assortment
Hello everyone,
Sorry for such a long spell between postings. I've been busy making cards but just didn't have a chance to post some of them before going away for Christmas. I was able to make and send out a total of 116 Christmas cards this year. An all time record for me. Some were quite fancy and time consuming to make and others were clean, simple and somewhat quick to make. I usually make 10 to 15 of each design. Here are just a few of my more simple creations. Hope you like them. Thanks for stopping by.

Charging Orders Explained
A court places an order called a charging order upon the land or home owned by a debtor.
This order is placed for the amount owed to an entity that provided unsecured credit that was not repaid as agreed.
When the debtor sells the property, the unsecured debt must be repaid before he or she may receive any proceeds.
In essence, the once unsecured debt is secured by the property through the charging order.
Timing of Charging Orders
A charging order is issued after the creditor and lender go through the County Court Judgment, or CCJ, process. The Court must have issued a CCJ and the debtor must have failed to make any payments or not paid according to Court requirements. At this point, the creditor may complete a charging order application.
Charging Order Process
After the court reviews and approves the creditor charging order application, it issues a N86 form to the debtor. This document includes the date and time of the charging order hearing. At this hearing, a judge will determine whether a Final Charging Order should be issued. If the judge deems so, the debtor is issued a N87 Final Charging Order form. The creditor receives a copy and notifies the Land Registry.
Sale of Land or Home
Even after a final charging order has been issued, the debtor is not obligated to sell the property. However, the creditor may apply for a force of sale. This rarely happens and requires court approval of the creditor application before the force of sale order may be served.

Central Bank Governors of the Group of Seven Industrialized Nations, in which the
participants affirmed their support for a multilateral effort to help rebuild and develop
Iraq and for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to provide
financial and other assistance to Iraq rapidly, subject to their policies,
Observing that the IMF and the World Bank already have provided significant technical
assistance to Iraq, but that having these international financial institutions (IFIs) work
closely with the Governing Council and Iraqi ministers now on arrangements necessary
to enable the early commencement of IFI lending would further help the people of Iraq in
the reconstruction and development of their country,
Recognizing that the Governing Council and its ministers, as provided in paragraph 4 of
Resolution 1511, are the principal bodies of the Iraqi interim administration, which,
without prejudice to its further evolution, embodies the sovereignty of the State of Iraq
during the period of transition,
CPA/REG/5 Dec 2003/07
Recalling paragraph 20 of Resolution 1511, which urges the international financial
institutions to take immediate steps to provide their full range of loans and other
assistance to Iraq, working with the Governing Council and its ministers,
Noting the Conclusions by the Chair of the International Donors' Conference on
Reconstruction in Iraq, held in Madrid October 23-24, 2003, which stated that the
conference looks forward to the early creation of an Iraqi-led coordination mechanism to
ensure that Iraqi priorities and needs guide the national development process and to
prevent the emergence of gaps and duplication, and called upon all donors to work with
this mechanism,
I hereby promulgate the following:

text: Hello, I've got an iBook G4, (1.2Ghz, 768 MB RAM, 4200 RPM 30GB HD) and would like to upgrade the HD to something a bit more capacious and speedier. Is there any consensus on what's the best HD for iBooks out there? Battery consumption and speed are far more important to me than huge capacity. Also, would it make a big difference to upgrade the RAM to the 1.25 GB maximum? I'm running Tiger and mainly just do the basics. I get beachballs fairly frequently. An update would mean removing the half gig I added a couple of years ago... If I upgraded is there anything I could do with that, such as get a discount on the RAM price or put it in my parents' Dell Dimension 5000 desktop? Thanks in advance!

Happy Friday to you! I cannot believe we are officially only one week away from Christmas! I haven't even started shopping yet. Oye! I'm usually done before Thanksgiving. That Disney World vacation really threw off my groove. Totally worth it though! Today I have a super fun, completely non-traditional Christmas card for you. I was inspired by the Birds of Paradise stamp set I received in my TupeloDesignsLLC December Design Team package and I challenged myself to use it to create a holiday card. So I immediately thought of the song "Mele Kalikimaka" and it was a match made in tropical heaven!
I used the Winter Snowflake Lace stencil from Memory Box (TDLLC DT package goodie!) and several colors of Distress Inks to create a gorgeous rainbow snowstorm background. I was so pleased with how this came out! This stencil is so detailed and every single detail turned out perfect. It is just stunning in real life!
The colorful parrot is from the Birds of Paradise stamp set and I colored him in using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I just love these puppies! And the color stays so vibrant, which is just what I needed to create a tropical Christmas! I combined some stamp sets and pulled some holiday elements from two different Lawn Fawn stamp sets to Christmas-ify my parrot. Finally, I created the custom sentiment with Milo's ABCs from Lawn Fawn. Throw in some finishing details like Glossy Accents, Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins in every size, and, of course, Wink of Stella and you got yourself a tropical holiday!
For a full tutorial check out the video below. Also, don't forget to take advantage of free shipping on orders over $15 over at TupeloDesignsLLC through the end of December! Lots of holiday goodies on sale right now, too! Thanks so much for joining me! I'll be back soon with Day 11 of the Handmade Holiday series (almost done!). Have a great evening! Bye!

Does there exist a program for Windows that is similar to ucarp on linux? I am looking to easily add high availability to applications that don't have it built-in.
2 Replies
What this ultimately comes down to is that I want to be able to reboot a Windows server during the day with minimal interruption to running services. We use an application for electronic document management. The client talks to the application server. The application server has a local folder for document storage and then relies on our SQL server for indexing. It takes a few minutes for the application server to reboot which is long enough for the clients to throw errors. If I had a second server that also have the application server installed I would then move the document storage to a location that could be shared between the two application servers. If I needed to reboot one server I could stop the application services on the active server, remove the shared IP address, add it to the second server and restart the application servers. This would only take a matter of seconds if it were automated with something like ucarp. And to me it seems like a much simpler option then investing the time and money in setting up a full Windows cluster.

Pete Davidson covers up tattoo of ex-girlfriend amid Ariana Grande engagement
Pete Davidson has appeared to cover up his tattoo tribute to ex-girlfriend Cazzie David as he enjoys a new relationship with rumoured fiancee Ariana Grande.
The Saturday Night Live star confirmed he had split from the writer and actress, the daughter of comedian Larry David, in May (18) after a two-year relationship, during which he got a tattoo of a girl with long, dark hair, like Cazzie's, surrounded by stars on the inside of his right forearm.
The funnyman went public with his romance with Ariana just weeks later, and has subsequently appeared to have erased his Cazzie tribute. In a video posted on Instagram over the weekend, Pete can be seen dancing topless, showing off his vast tattoo collection and a new solid block of tattoos on his right forearm, effectively covering up where the Cazzie one was. It is not known when he got the new artwork done.
The 24-year-old has already got new ink to celebrate his romance with the Problem singer, getting her initials on etched on his thumb and her trademark bunny ears mask behind his ear.
On Monday, it was reported that the couple had already got engaged after a whirlwind romance. According to TMZ.com, the comedian paid $93,000 (£69,500) for a huge pear-shaped diamond from New York jeweller Greg Yuna, aka Mr. Flawless, to give to Ariana, also 24.
They have not explicitly confirmed the news, but Ariana was seen wearing the three-carat sparkler in a picture posted to Instagram and when she posed for photographs with fans at Disneyland on Monday evening. She also told fans on Twitter she was "so happy" and "excited".
At the start of June, Cazzie, who is on safari, took to Instagram and wrote, "Been in Africa, what'd I miss ??" and on Tuesday, she shared a snap showing her holding a glass of wine. In the caption, she added, "Came to wine country a person, leaving a human bottle of wine."
Another of Pete's ex-girlfriends, stand-up comedian Carly Aquilino, appeared to react to the engagement news on Monday by sharing a screengrab of a text message from a friend saying, "I know I'm the 9 billionth person to text you about this, but... I can't." Beside it, Carly added, "My day in a text message".

Yet China says that "Inciting hatred or discrimination among nationalities or harming the unity of the nationalities" is one of its reasons for blocking sites. Yet from the greatfirewallofchina website where you can check to see if it's blocked in China the neo-nazi website "stormfront" is "ok" from all routers.
China also includes promoting sexually suggestive material as one of the reasons yet if you enter "www.Xtube.Com" (like youtube but pornography) it was that's OK too.
And so is youporn.Com
Strangely www.lp.org the libertarian party's website is approved by it!
The Chinese censors appear to be getting lazy.
Yes I've listed english language sites but most young Chinese know english.
Stormfront is an abhorrent website, but the point is that as much as they want to censor everything China can't really control the internet. It's too big.
BTW, www.debate.org is also approved. If you are in China I'd especially like to see what your opinion is on this!
China is typically known for intervening and censoring things for their people. So yes it is very surprising to me that they chose not to block the stormfront website. Perhaps they feel it is not really any threat and blocking it will only cause more of a sensation in the long run.
It should not surprise anyone that China does not block stormfront, because they keep their enemies close. The Chinese are a cunning group, and see a chasm within the WN movement that they can easily infiltrate. So many Chinese post on stormfart, it's unreal. And these WN bigots are so ignorant to think that the Chinese are on their side - they applaud them because they are"racially pure". It's just insanity. And let's not call stormfronters "racists"... Def of a racist is someone with the money or power to disenfranchise a people. Most stomfronters are poor yokels with not a dime, and pissed that someone else has a nickel.
I'm sorry but it does not surprise me that China does not block stormfront, because they keep their enemies close. The Chinese are a cunning group, and see a chasm within the WN movement that they can easily infiltrate. So many Chinese post on stormfart, it's unreal. And these bigots are so ignorant to think that the Chinese are on their side - they applaud them because they are"racially pure". It's just insanity.
I don't like Stormfront. I should also add to those who answered this question, that this is a Klan site not a Nazi one. You think the people on Stormfront give a rats ass about Germans, Italians or Spanish people? I think not. Most of them are from the same people who founded the Klan. Very pro-imperialist. Anyways, I say let Stormfront post their hateful views. It's not for us to ban them.
First of all their websites, such as Stormfront, youporn, and other such websites are not commonly used in the Chinese populace. Most Ethic Chinese don't even use Google, they use a website called, Baidu, which is basically Google, but for people that speak Chinese. Other websites, such as pornographic ones in Western countries are used very(I MEAN very) little by the Chinese populace. I do not know what type of porn sites that go on, however I believe that they do not go on the ones that Western people have created. Therefore a website like Stormfront would have little influence on the Chinese populace. This is because, first it is in English, and even though alot of younger Chinese people are learning English, most of your 30 year olds and older do not know how to speak English, therefore making the website undesirable for most citizens of China. Secondly a website that is a white supremacist site would not be popular in a country that is 92% Ethic Han Chinese, 8% of other minority Chinese. Therefore I believe that such website would be unpopular, and also they would be mostly unknown to the Chinese populace. This is coming from someone with Ethical Chinese background, (Also most Chinese would not comment on such website because they probably wouldn't know this site exist and also most of them probably don't know what stormfront is.

So of course, even though I wanted to avoid posting about Kickstarters for a bit, I simply can't resist telling you about Periorbis - a bonafide asteroid mining board game, by Gareth Newton-Williams! Originally it was actually called Asteroid Miner but had to change it as there was already a game with that name. A bit of a pity as I think a more straightforward name than Periorbis (although I actually like the name!) might attract a wider audience. Anyway...
|Game content. Lots of stuff and very nice looking too!
|Game board.
|The crew cards. Great hard sci-fi art and you can see the skill values at the bottom of the card.
|Player board.
There's still a day and a half left to back, shipping to the US and within EU are included in the very reasonable price of £44/$66 for a copy of the game. Of course, it's also already funded but I'm sure some extra unlocked stretch goals wouldn't hurt!
I'll put Rahdo's runthrough and final thoughts here for your conveniance. Check out the run through if you want to know more of the actual mechanics, and the final thoughts if you just want to know what he thinks of the game.

Air pollution refers to substances in the air which directly affect human health, welfare, plant and animal life. Air quality is measured in terms of the concentrations – in other words the amount of a pollutant that is present in the air that we breathe. By reducing polluting emissions from local sources, the contribution of these sources to concentrations will also fall. The effective control of emissions throughout Europe and beyond is therefore vital to improving air quality not only in Gibraltar but around the world.
The latest air quality Directive commonly known as the 'Clean Air For Europe' (CAFÉ) (2008/50/EC) sets standards for a variety of pollutants that are considered harmful to human health and the environment. These standards include limit values, which are legally binding and must not be exceeded. These limit values comprise a concentration value for the pollutant, an averaging period over which it is measured, the date by which the limit values are to be achieved and in some cases an allowable number of exceedances of the value per year. The Directive also includes target values, which are set out in the same manner as limit values, but which are to be attained where possible by taking all measures that do not entail disproportionate costs.
Gibraltar has transposed CAFÉ through its own Environment (Air Quality Standards) Regulations 2010.
Regulations 26 and 27 require that the Minister for the Environment draw up Action plans, where the limit values stipulated within the Regulations are exceeded, to bring about the reduction of emissions of the offending pollutant/s thereby ensuring that the limit values are met within the shortest possible timeframe. The levels of PM10 and NO2 exceed the national air quality objectives.
Pollutants of concern.
Particulate matter (PM10): Particulate matter (PM) is a complex assemblage of non-gaseous material of varied chemical composition. It is categorised by the size of the particle (e.g. particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns (µm)). Most PM in Gibraltar comes from unmade land, road traffic, construction sites from anthropogenic sources outside Gibraltar and from natural sources such as Saharan Dust and sea salt. Small particles tend to be long-lived in the atmosphere and can be transported great distances.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2): All combustion processes produce oxides of nitrogen (NOx). In Gibraltar power generation, road transport and shipping are the main sources of these emissions. NOx is primarily composed of two pollutants – nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). NO2 is of most concern due to its impact on health. However NO easily converts to NO2 in the air – so to reduce concentrations of NO2 it is essential to control emissions of NOx.
In accordance with our legislation, an Air Quality Action Plan has been produced. The plan comprises actions that Government has established as a means of reducing levels of Particulate Matter (PM10) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in Gibraltar, which are the two pollutants for which exceedances of EU limit values have been recorded for the years 2007 and 2008. Once the proposed actions are applied the measured concentrations of PM10 and NO2 will be well below the EU limit values.
The legislation allows Member States to apply for time extension to the limit value where, in a given zone or agglomeration, conformity with the limit values cannot be achieved by the deadlines. A Member State may postpone those deadlines by a maximum of five years for that particular zone or agglomeration, on condition that an air quality plan is established for the zone or agglomeration to which the postponement would apply.
This air quality action plan has been produced to accompany the formal applications for a time extension for PM10 and NO2 to the European Commission and to establish a bold coherent strategy to reduce measured levels of PM10, NO2 and other pollutants. The public needs to be aware that this is an active document that is subject to review.
Urban dust constitutes a considerable portion of local PM10 measurements. It is therefore a significant local source which must be dealt with. As part of Government's attempt to tackle and reduce emissions from these sources, the Government has introduced legislation on the matter. The Environment Act 2005, Control of Dust Regulations 2010, sets out a series of compliance measures necessary for the attainment of the targets for the reduction of dust in ambient air.
Under Regulation 9 of the legislation, The Minister for the Environment has approved a Dust Best Practice Guide for the reduction of dust emissions.
The legislation and Code of Practise form part of the implementation measures required under the TEN application. The complete evidence base which supports our Time Extension Notification Application (TEN application) for PM10 is set out below.

I founded Inventive Events in the late '90s having worked for 15 years at Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising running Event Management and PR for clients and staff. During this time I created and managed some of the most memorable events in advertising history.
My desire in setting up Inventive was to bring to it the best of the creativity and lateral thinking that comes with the Saatchi territory and ally it with the very highest levels of client service.
The biggest thing I have learnt from the many years I've spent in event management is that attention to detail is the absolute key. Clients trust us and always comment on how relaxed they feel in the knowledge that we have everything covered, allowing them to enjoy their event.
Event management requires an unparalleled depth of knowledge. What's possible, where, when and how. We can do the impossible to make your event original.
So that is what we do, original memorable events delivered with a service that puts attention to every detail first. A simple formula really, but one that has proven extremely successful over the years.
I hope to have the pleasure of working with you soon.

The Gate and the Walls of Mahasanghrama pose another challenge, as we know from the historic account that the monastic units were part of the campus and were surrounded with walls on all sides but its entrance have not been located yet. Here's what the travelogues say about the structures:
Hwui Lun- there are two mentions of gates, while one of the convent is clearly mentioned but no further clarification about the other gates is provided.
1. This building of Nalanda stands four-square, like a city precinct. The gates have overlapping eaves covered by tiles.
2. Outside the western gate of the great hall of the temple are large stupa and various chaityas. The great temple opens to the west. Going about 20 paces from the gate, there is a stupa 100ft high.
Xuanzang description
Wall number 1 & Gate
("Life" by S. Beal- Bok III- P-111), ("Travels" by S.Beal- Book IX- p 171) (""Travels" Vol-2 By Thomas watters p-165)
Moreover, the whole establishment is surrounded by a brick wall, which encloses the entire convent from without. One gate opens into the great college, from which are separated eight other halls, standing in the middle of the sangharama.
Wall number 2
("Travels" by S.Beal- Book IX- p 173) & ("Travels" Vol-2 By Thomas watters p-170)
To the west outside the wall, and by side of tank is a stupa………to the south east about 50 paces, within the walls is an extraordinary tree….
Wall number 3
("Travels" by S.Beal- Book IX- p 174) & ("Travels" Vol-2 By Thomas watters p-170)
Next to the eastward 200 paces or so, outside the walls is a figure of Buddha standing upright and made of copper.
It is evident there were possibly many gates but number and position is not clear. It is also evident from Hwui Lun and Xuanzang that the Convent had one western gate opening to the temple

YES FOLKS! The rich did it before. This was one poets reaction from the 18th Century...
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose.
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.
THE FIRST ENCLOSURE MOVEMENTThis poem is one of the pithiest condemnations of the English enclosure movement, the process of fencing off common land and turning it into private property.In a few lines, the poem manages to criticize double standards, expose the artificial and controversial nature of property rights, and take a slap at the legitimacy of state power. And it does this all with humor, without jargon, and in rhyming couplets. Academics (including this one) should take note. Like most of the criticisms of the enclosure movement, the poem depicts a world of rapacious, state-aided "privatization," a conversion into private property of something that had formerly been common property or, perhaps, had been outside of the property system altogether.

Amy Adams Set to Play Lois Lane
The Zack Snyder reboot of the Superman film franchise, entitled Man of Steel, has cast another key player. Three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams has been revealed to be the next Lois Lane, the love interest of Clark Kent.
According to Los Angeles Times blog Hero Complex, Adams received the news from director Zack Snyder when he called her from Paris while promoting his latest film, Sucker Punch. The 36-year-old actress won the coveted role after many names were rumored to be competing for the gig, including House hottie Olivia Wilde.
"There was a big, giant search for Lois," Snyder said. "For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it."
While Snyder refused to give any details about the plot or the exact role Lois Lane will play, he did say that the character is "a linchpin" to the film. The feisty reporter was famously portrayed by Margot Kidder in the Christopher Reeves movies and Kate Bosworth in 2006's Superman Returns.
"It goes back to what I've said about Superman and making him really understandable for today," Snyder explains. "What's important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today's audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance]."
Amy Adams joins a cast that includes Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, along with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Jonathan and Martha Kent, who adopted Kal-El when he crashed landed to Earth.
What do you think? Did Zack Snyder make the right choice?

Xi3 to launch their Steam Box-like Piston PC this holiday season, starts from $1000
Steam Box-like Piston PC from Xi3 to launch later this year starting from $1000
By: Anthony Garreffa | Gaming News | Posted: Mar 10, 2013 4:31 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
The current unofficial Steam Box is launching this holiday season for a starting price of $1000. Xi3's Piston will begin pre-orders of the PC on March 18, with pre-order customers receiving a nice $100 discount off the system.
Xi3's Piston is the first PC designed specifically to run games through Steam's Big Picture Mode, with Valve helping finance the system. This is completely different to the Steam Box, which is coming later this year according to Valve hero Gabe Newell. Xi3 CEO, Jason Sullivan, said in a press release:
Clearly, the computer/video gaming market is huge, both in the personal computer and traditional console markets. That being said, we believe there is a crying need for a machine that captures the best of both worlds, with the upgradeability of computer gaming rigs and the design and form factor of consoles. We believe our Piston Consoles do exactly that-deliver the beauty and small size of consoles with the upgradeability of computers.

Function: Marine Education and Testing, navigation rules
Rating: ****
Cost: Free Lite version, $2.99 full version

This app is a great resource to have handy while boating. We all could use a refresher on the many aspects of navigtion, bouyage, safety, rules of the road and navigation lights. Don't become one of those boaters people complain about. Become a competent captain and earn respect on the water.

Coats & Clark's is still known for their thread, but in this 1954 craft manual they are featuring their crochet thread to make chair coverings. It was important in the 50's to not have naked chairs. I remember my Grandma Alessio in the 70's still covered her couch with vinyl and it would be stick and noisy. Of course we all loved that, and made extra noise on it. My Grandma Curtin made doilies for her chairs, and I'm sure it did protect the sleeves some. I love the pictured basket of flowers but can't figure out how it sticks to the back of the chair. The work involved too is amazing for something designed to get a little dirty.
Starting at narrow edge with Black, make a chain 14 inches long. 1st row: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across until row measures 12 inches. Cut off remaining chain. Drop Black. 2nd row: Draw a loop of White through loop on hook, ch 3, turn, skip first sc. dc in next sc and in each sc across. Ch 1. turn. 3rd row: Sc in each dc across, sc in top of ch-3. Drop White, turn. 4th row: Draw a loop of Black through loop on hook, sc in first sc. * sc at base of next sc (long sc made), sc in next sc. Repeat from * across. Ch 1, turn. 5th row: Sc in each sc across. Drop Black. Repeat 2nd to 5th rows incl until 22 White sections have been completed, ending with 4th row. Break off.
That reads a bit like a foreign language to me, as I'm not very good at crocheting. Does anyone here make these?

Legacy on Lanier Golf Club in Lake Lanier Islands, GA
The Stats
Tee Time: August 12, 10:30, 87 F, Calm
Designer: Billy Fuller, 2009
Playing Partners: Nicholas Carroll, Scott Carroll and Brad
Tees: Blue, Par 72 (71.0 rating/137 slope/6,193 yards)
Course Handicap: 14 (11.3 index)
Stats: 91 (43-48); 40 putts; 7/14 fairways; 6/18 greens; 4 penalty strokes
The Course
Legacy on Lanier Golf Club is one of the prettiest golf courses I have ever set foot on. They didn't even need to put a golf course out here and it would still be worth the trip just to hike along the waterfront or spend the day out on a boat like plenty of others were doing. Clear blue water was always within a 5-wood of the course as sandy shores and colorful trees lined every hole. With all that pretty scenery comes the demand for accurate golf shots, however, and on a bad day this course could see more balls disappear into the woods than into the cup. The layout is very much risk/reward and requires nearly every club in the bag. Even on the rare holes without water or narrow fairways, there are fiendishly placed bunkers that will swallow up approach shots and spit out double bogeys.

I had a chance to have coffee with Hilary Groos a week or two ago and I was very impressed. I had not known what to make of her because her website did not do a good job of telling her story. She has since improved it but I think she still undersells herself.
Hilary is a smart woman who has had a very interesting and varied career, most if it in Europe. We would be lucky to have some with her skills and experience on council, in fact we have never seen anyone with quite the same global experience she has run for any council in this region.
One of the things I really like about her is that she has worked within in a multitude of governance systems in her career. It is normal for someone running for local council in this region to have very little governance experience and have to learn on the job while being heavily influenced by sitting council members and staff. Most new councilors are easily "tamed", this is not what see happening to her.
Robin Teverson, a former Liberal Democrat MEP from 1994 to 1999, does a very good job of summing up Hilary:
I worked with Hilary over five years. Hilary is one of those rare people you know is going to get the task done. Someone who's not satisfied unless she has achieved what she said she would. A person that's focused not just on that task at hand, but has a real concern for the people affected. She not only acts, she listens. She understands how to make politics work for the citizen. She will make an excellent representative for the people of Victoria.From having lived in various places in Europe Hilary has seen what is possible in a real way. Visiting a city for a few weeks or even few months does not give you any real sense of what works and what does not, the classic example of this is the love certain people in this region have for Portland. When Hilary speaks of the sort of excellence that she thinks is possible she has personal experience to back this up.
She is smart and very quickly understands issues with a degree of complexity that other people struggle with. In our conversation we covered numerous topics from around the world very, very quickly but with some clear detailed understanding on her part. We did this in two and a half languages, the half being my crappy French.
Personality-wise she has a strong confidence presence that should mean she can question what is going on at City Hall in such a way that answers will be forth coming. You can see some of that in her Shaw TV Candidate Profile:
I highly recommend that you take some time and get to meet her, you will not be disappointed.
Not only Victoria, but the whole region, would benefit if Hilary Groos were elected to city council. Please make her one of your top choices.

I stumbled upon this on Pinterest and it so accurately captured my thoughts at the moment!
Maybe its because I need sunshine... Maybe its because I need an adventure.. Maybe its because I need some bright, springtime colors in my life instead of the drab grays punctuating the weather and landscape here the last 6 months!! (Seriously questioning why I dont live in California or Hawaii lately!)
Regardless, this is just speaking to me:

Thoughts on Game of Thrones s 5, ep 1: The Wars to Come
"Game on!"
Game of Thrones is back with another exposition filled episode to kick everything off for season 5.
Prophecy… of things you already know.
The Cerci prophecy scene was kinda useless… it's season 5. I already know all that stuff and if the point is that the Lannisters are not the legitimate heirs to the iron throne… who cares? Stanis and Dany are the only players who can actually take it from them anyway, and they plan to, so… whatever. Maybe this sort of "You're not legit!" could weaken them in the meantime, but again, Stanis and Dany are coming anyway, AND DANY HAS DRAGONS… even if she can't control them right now. But she'll figure it out. Eventually. It might take 10 episodes, but trust me, she'll get there. She'll be riding them around before you know it. Sorry for the aside – back to Cerci. Maybe that unknown little girl will show up as an adult and we'll find out the answers to the other two questions.
You have to love that they addressed Tyrion's poop. These two together are magic – you've got to love it any time Varys and Tyrion get together, and now they have a vested interest. This is going ot be awesome.
I told you they're coming for Dany! Those masked a-holes are gonna try to take everything Dany has – and they'll do it piece by piece if they must.
Meanwhile, at the wall, everyone is being nonsensical
Here are some conversations heard at the wall: "Are you a virgin?" "No." "Good. Because we have to burn one soon." (I'm just saying…) "Bend the knee and get on the right side of the wall. That's what matters – so all of the wildlings don't get white walkered." "No; it'll all fall apart." "Ugh, I wash my hands of you. Maybe that red headed dude is more practical." And another important thing happened here: John earns the respect of the wildlings by arrowing the king beyond the wall before he really started screaming – I imagine he'll eventually command them on the field of battle…
Oh, Little Finger and Stansa Stark!
Who the hell knows what they're up to. I guess we'll find out. In a way, Little Finger is the most evil character on the show. That dude will rock and roll at the drop of a hat if it serves his purpose.
Well, that's all for now. Join me next time when one presumes the religious people will begin making their presence known in King's Landing!

The old man continued to cough perseveringly and would not cease until the water boiled. Wang Lung dipped some into a bowl, and then, after a moment, he opened a glazed jar that stood upon a ledge of the stove and took from it a dozen or so of the curled dried leaves and sprinkled them upon the surface of the water. The old man's eyes opened greedily and immediately he began to complain.
"Why are you wasteful? Tea is like eating silver."
"It is the day," replied Wang Lung with a short laugh. "Eat and be comforted."
The old man grasped the bowl in his shriveled, knotty fingers, muttering, uttering little grunts. He watched the leaves uncurl and spread upon the surface of the water, unable to bear drinking the precious stuff.
"It will be cold," said Wang Lung.
"True -- true -- " said the old man in alarm, and he began to take great gulps of the hot tea. He passed into an animal satisfaction, like a child fixed upon its feeding. But he was not too forgetful to see Wang Lung dipping the water recklessly from the cauldron into a deep wooden tub. He lifted his head and stared at his son.
