Many of you put signature footers at the bottom of your emails. I would recommend putting this Osama Bin Laden quote on your emails, on your websites, where ever. Post this quote on ANY thread that a RonPaulbot tries to hijack. Because at the end of the day, this quote from Bin Laden himself is the absolute simple quintessence of the totalitarian political system that is islam. Here it is:There is a sublime clarity in simplicity. Forget the 'religion of peace' happy crap insisted on by the flower children. At its core this is what islam is about: Subjugation or death."Our talks with the infidel West and our conflict with them ultimately revolve around one issue—one that demands our total support, with power and determination, with one voice—and it is: Does Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam: [1] either willing submission [conversion]; or [2] payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual, submission to the authority of Islam; or [3] the sword — for it is not right to let him [an infidel] live. The matter is summed up for every person alive: Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die."(...) "Suzerainty" is a French-origin word ("suzerain") that means "overlordship". Google it and look it up for yourself. Bin Laden uses exactly the right word in this context.
--Osama Bin Laden
(The Al Qaeda Reader, p. 42)
Please note that Bin Laden confirms my premise that islam is NOT a religion, but a completely earthly totalitarian political system:
"force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually"
"payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual, submission to the authority of Islam"
Thank you. Musloids do not give a flying flip if you actually believe any of their pseudo-religious crap. Hell, only the inbred mentally retarded ones actually believe any of that nonsense themselves. Why don't they care if you actually believe any of it? Why are they satisfied with mere physical submission without any spiritual "submission"? Why are they satisfied with "infidels" merely paying a tax (jizya)?
BECAUSE IT ISN'T A RELIGION AT ALL. Islam isn't about "allah" or "paradise" or "prayer" or "spirituality" or how human beings should relate to one another or how human beings should relate to a "god" or the eternal fate of the human soul. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT. Islam is about acquiring physical, earthly territory and installing a totalitarian government over the earth that provides a cadre of "elites" masquerading as some sort of "clergy" with massive decadent wealth and as much twisted perverted sex as they want, including homosexual and heterosexual pedohilia, ephebophilia, concubinage, incest, bestiality and necrophilia. There is nothing new under the sun. They want power, they want money and they want sex. The "religious" aspects are a stone-cold con, which Bin Laden himself declared in no uncertain terms.
Yes, I believe that most muslims (probably) mean well and just want to get on with their lives. But ideas matter, ideologies shape actions. There is very little redeeming about a world view that at its heart is based on submission to its ability for terror and murder, rather then acceptance of its truth.

Review: Perfect Sense
PLOT: When a contagious disease seemingly steals away the sense of smell in Glasgow, a chef and a scientist discover a need for human connection. As the sickness begins to further deaden society, the two become lovers in spite of all their disappearing senses.
There is much that could be respected from the gloomy new film PERFECT SENSE (currently playing in limited engagement and available on VOD). Part love story and part science fiction, director David Mackenzie creates a somber and original tale of love, loss and paranoia. When two very different individuals - played by Ewan McGregor and Eva Green - fall in love, it is in the midst of a strange contagion. The epidemic begins with a deep depression followed by the victimsâ sense of smell disappearing, the remaining four senses soon follow. Yet SENSE lingers on a very melancholy and subtle approach to the story. Unlike most films portraying a possible deadly outbreak, this is a slow and precise telling. We see this story through the eyesâ of Susan (Green) and Michael (McGregor) whose relationship grows as the infection spreads.
Mackenzie approaches his subject delicately, much like he did in his earlier collaboration with McGregor (the impressive YOUNG ADAM). While the sexual nature isnât nearly as prominent as it was in ADAM, it still plays a major role in this modern romance. First off, the two lead characters are an odd pair as Susan is a scientist and Michael is a chef. They meet because he works at a restaurant across from her home. After the two professionals share a cigarette on their first meeting, the relationship begins to develop. However as they connect sexually, it makes for a unique â if not very convincing - pairing. This is one problem with SENSE, it is a task to really feel anything for these two as a couple. Theirs is a cold and implausible romance to be sure, even if both actors give fine performances.
The first half of PERFECT SENSE mostly fails to evoke much in the form of sympathy or interest partly due to the romantic angle. Although the failing human sensesâ is a fascinating idea that is handled well enough, and Eva Greenâs narration is quite compelling, it was difficult to remain involved. Yet somehow the last half comes together to create a disturbing and heartbreaking look at how much we rely on even the simple nature of smell triggering a memory. Imagine losing your sense of smell, taste, your hearing and so on. This is a frightening thought. Nonetheless, even with the promising last half, it never really takes you on the emotional journey that it could have. The final scene is certainly powerful though, as are a select group of moments that came before. It would have been a much more satisfying experience if Michael and Susan could have been a more believable couple.
The good news is that, while it wasnât a complete success, it was certainly not a total failure. PERFECT SENSE is a risky romance that doesnât necessarily choose the most audience friendly route, and that in itself is worthy of respect. The characters here are deeply flawed and for the most part, offer a more honest picture of humanity. The use of a series of montages to show how the infection spread are used to further the story as opposed to shock your senses. There is a low key element to this narrative much like what CHILDREN OF MEN offered, however this is not nearly as successful as Alfonso Cuarónâs brilliant feature.
Frankly, the one element that is near perfect is Eva Green in a very impressive performance. Her Susan is an honest and flawed woman placed in the midst of what could possibly be the end of the world. While it seems like a scientist would have more on her mind than dating and sex with the widespread loss of sense going on â and the fact that she and McGregorâs Michael donât always work - she somehow manages to make it credible. You could even say that this odd pairing sort of makes sense with society falling to pieces. And it is her work that connected me to PERFECT SENSE, even if the film itself didnât quite live up to its profound nature. As well shot and well acted as it may be, SENSE never really brought me to the emotional level it was seemingly searching for⦠and all my senses were intact.

PIP - Dark Vengeance Chosen
I had some Dark Vengeance models left over after picking up a few sets to get Cultists etc for my Word Bearers army. These are, much like my Night Lords Warp Talon being painted to put on eBay as I have no relevant project for them. I like doing this as I find I try out new things when working on things that aren't "my" projects. I think this is because I know I won't be repeating these new things a hundred odd times throughout an army.
This guy with the Mace is without a doubt my favourite model from this set. He exudes so much menace and THAT helmet! I had really hoped when I first saw this guy that there would be a new Chaos Space Marine box set with helmets of the style seen in Dark Vengeance. Alas that never happened.
Another great model from the set and with the increase in Power Axes on the field due to rules changes in 6th edition this guy has probably one of the more popular weapons on any bits sites. Again... I want to use that helmet without having to chop the model apart ....
This guy I am not so sure about. He is a cool model don't get me wrong but I just was not sure how to paint a lot of it. For example the horn things on his shoulders. I decided to leave them as part of the armour mutating rather than as bone but I think this has ended up with him having less "pop" than other models from the unit.
Hopefully, I shall have a post soon enough giving a link top buy these guys (and the rest of the chosen). First I need to cast some bases for them.

The tour party arrived in Johannesburg early on a Sunday morning on 18th September, with the city experiencing its first rain in six months. It was a pleasure to be hosted by Jeppe Boys High, a school that has sent several successful sportsman to Westlake in recent years.
Our match against Jeppe introduced the boys to some of the variable conditions we would be facing on tour. The outfield was predictably quick, but the pitch was sticky after the earlier rain. Being sent in to bat, WBHS struggled to consolidate any meaningful partnerships and were eventually bowled out for 134, with Ethan Schaumkel top scoring with 46. The end result – a 6 wicket defeat.
Leaving the Highveld and jetlag behind us, we flew to Cape Town knowing that competition would likely get tougher. The boys enjoyed a 'rest' day climbing Table Mountain and exploring the beaches of False Bay. Our second match against Paarl Boys High was set in the idyllic mountains, an hour inland from Cape Town. Playing a T20 match, WBHS dominated from the outset, with Ryan Schierhout smashing 104* off 50 balls, and Jarrad Harford assisting with 51* to post 196/1. With a 66-run win under the belt, we could afford to feel a little more confident as we faced four top Cape Town schools the following days. Our third match was a day-nighter at Bishops Diocesan College, a school with impressive indoor facilities that kept the non-playing boys busy for hours. Batting first, Bishops made the most of the excellent pitch and conditions to post 234/9. We knew that chasing under lights would be tough, and Campbell Knowles (20) and Ryan Quinn (18) started well before wickets began to fall at regular intervals. Quinn Sunde top scored with 30 in a 117 run loss under testing evening conditions.
Our fourth match at the Jacques Kallis Oval at Wynberg Boys High was another tough match. Electing to bat, Wynberg's opener scored an excellent 127 to take his team to 238/4. Westlake struggled to put any pressure on the tight opposition bowlers, and were all out cheaply. We had seen the aggressive South African batsmen actively look for runs and 'play their shots', and the team resolved to show more intent against South African Colleges (SACS) in our final match in the Cape. Batting first in another T20, Ben Beecroft (32) and Ethan Schaumkel (30) anchored two solid WBHS partnerships, before two batting collapses resulted in the side finishing 122 all out. Knowing the total to be about 20 runs short, the bowlers kept the pressure on until the SACS captain finished the job in the final over – a close 4 wicket loss.
Having fought hard against SACS, our next match against Durban High School in Durban was disappointing. Being sent in to bat, Westlake initially started well before the DHS first-change bowler ripped through our batsmen, finishing with the astonishing figures of 8-19. Luke Ranson and Sam Collinson made a late partnership to carry the team to 98 all out. An eventual 6-wicket loss to our hosts indicated how tough the cricket was going to be in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
The Michaelmas Cricket Tournament hosted by Maritzburg College attracts teams from all over South Africa, with Westlake being the only international side in 2016. School sport is taken very seriously by all those participating, and first up we faced Pretoria Boys High, well known for being particularly 'vocal' on the field. Bowling first, Westlake saw another opener score a ton, guiding his side to 255/6, with Ryan Schierhout the pick of the bowlers (3-35). In reply, Ryan Quinn (27), Schierhout (45) and Harford (24) showed good intent to chase the score, but the team were ev
entually bowled out for 142. Our second match was played on a small ground against CSA TAP XI, an invitational team made up of the best cricketers who did not attend any of the school sides at the tournament. Batting first, CSA TAP made a convincing 335/9, with Westlake rueing several missed fielding chances. Undeterred, and facing a pair of genuine quick openers, the Westlake batsmen played aggressively to make 209 all out, made possible by Ethan Schaumkel's flamboyant 78 including several huge sixes. The next day's match against South African champions, St Stithians was always going to be tough. Chasing 350 after watching both openers reach centuries, both Schierhout (64) and Schaumkel (46) were the only meaningful contributions on a sorry looking scorecard. However, the boys saw first-hand the class of the opposition, and it was a privilege to play against the very best.
Our final match of the tournament and tour took place at a small ground nestled amongst the sugar cane plantations and maintained by a local farmer. Eston Cricket Club was a stunning place to conclude our tour. Even better was the
performance as Westlake dominated in all facets of the T20 match against a King Edward the V11(KES) team that were as good as some of the better sides we had faced on tour. Sent in to bowl for the fourth game in a row, Westlake restricted KES to 101, with Ryan Quinn taking four catches and snagging two run-outs. In the chase, Ben Beecroft (53) guided the team to the win, with Quinn fittingly hitting the winning runs for an 8-wicket victory. In returning to New Zealand we are able to reflect on a tour with many happy memories and some tough lessons learnt. Playing ten matches in little over two weeks against some of the most competitive schoolboy sides in the world will prove to be excellent development for the boys who were fortunate enough to travel in 2016.

Foundations of Hatha Yoga
with Devin Kent Sodt
6 weeks, Tuesdays, Jan 20 Feb 24, 6:00 -7:15 pm
The science of Hatha yoga is explained for one reason—success in meditation. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Emphasis on the importance of breath and spinal awareness, as central components to the practice, will be a focus of this series. Particularly as an avenue to experience the full potential of the practice of yoga asanas—postures. Furthermore, an emphasis will be placed on intentionally working with asana as an avenue for vitalizing the body, calming the mind and opening to subtle energy as support for meditation and conscious living. The force we use in the practice is not physical. It is a focused intent of energy that invites movement in the body to express through the asanas. If you can breathe, you can practice hatha yoga.
All are welcome

U.N. identifies 38 more mass graves in Congo's Kasai region
More than 3,300 people have been killed and 1.4 million forced to flee their homes in Kasai since the start of the insurrection by the Kamuina Nsapu militia, which wants the withdrawal of military forces from the area.
A spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo told reporters in the capital Kinshasa that the graves were identified across six different sites during a joint mission to western Kasai last week with Congolese military investigators.
The government has blamed the militia for mass graves discovered in neighbouring Kasai-Central province and also claims that some of the alleged mass graves identified by U.N. investigators have not turned out to contain bodies.
But witnesses in Kasai-Central interviewed in March by Reuters said they had seen army trucks dumping bodies and the United Nations has repeatedly accused Congolese troops of using excessive force.
The government denies that its troops have systematically used excessive force, although a court convicted seven soldiers last week for murdering suspected militia members in a massacre that was caught on video.

Before using Donorbox we were constantly having problems with our online donation processing. Donors contacted us monthly having problems setting up their gifts. Since transitioning to Donorbox we have not had a single donor contact us saying they were having trouble setting up a gift. In fact, we've had several donors tell us how easy the new process is. The Donorbox team has been extremely responsive when we need help and have already implemented suggestions for future features. I have no hesitations recommending Donorbox donation software to you.

Disgusting: 3 Charged In Ohio Slavery Case! (Held Disabled Woman & Her Daugher For Over 1 Year)
" A mentally disabled woman and her daughter were held in an Ohio apartment crowded with people and animals for more than a year, forced to perform manual labor and threatened with dogs and snakes to keep them compliant, authorities said Tuesday. Federal prosecutors said the people accused of holding the pair in Ashland, about 60 miles south of Cleveland, collected the woman's government benefits and beat her in order to get painkillers for themselves. They kept her in a room with a free-ranging iguana and ordered her to feed the reptile fruits and vegetables her daughter was denied, according to court papers. Sometimes their captors' pit bulls got table food while they had to eat from cans, according to an arrest affidavit quoting witnesses." - CNN

Izamal Cathedral
Luis Alberto Cabrera Euan, the self-appointed guide to the Basilica, greets visitors with a smile and rewards them with an enthusiastic tour of the intricate Franciscan architecture. This stone staircase leads to the camarin, a dressing room housing the wardrobe of the Virgin. A statue of the Virgin, replacing the original one destroyed by fire in 1829, is kept here in a glass cabinet and wears a silver crown and richly embroidered gowns from Spain. Her silver crown was a gift delivered by Pope John Paul II when he visited in Izamal in August of 1993 to celebrate a mass for the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Angel Di Maria has revealed how a phone conversation with Laurent Blanc convinced him to leave Manchester United and join Paris Saint-Germain in the summer. The Argentine international moved to Old Trafford from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of £59.7m ($90.5m) in 2014.
After spending a year in the Premier League, the former Benfica man decided to end his time in England and moved to Ligue 1. The 27-year-old has scored seven goals and registered nine assists in all competitions since joining the French champions.
Di Maria admitted he was happy when he spoke to the PSG manager for the first time. The attacker also went on to reveal that Blanc was his admirer and he was keen on securing his signature for the last few seasons, which was an incentive for him to move to Parc des Princes.
"The first time we spoke, it was before I signed for PSG. This made me very happy," Di Maria told BeIN sports, as quoted by Sky Sports.
"It happened the same way when [Jose] Mourinho made me come to Real Madrid. They called me before and I spoke with them. Blanc called me when he was in the United States and I was still on holiday.
"He said he was very happy to recruit me, that he had wanted me for several seasons. Obviously, this gave me an added incentive to sign for PSG."
Meanwhile, Blanc's side will face Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 and it is for the third consecutive season the two teams are facing each other in the competition. PSG's deputy sporting director Olivier Letang has warned the tie against the Blues will be difficult, but admitted the Ligue 1 outfit will be prepared to face the west London club.
"A good draw? We don't know if it is good until we play the games. We will play against a team that is strong and who won the Champions League in 2012, the Europa League in 2013," Goal.com quoted Letang as saying.
"Each time the matches have been very balanced in the last two years," "As our president said last night, the goal is to go very far in this competition. We will play against a big club, a great team, a great coach. We have two and a half months to prepare.
"We are two teams who know each other very well. It will be both exciting and difficult, but again, the objective is to go far in this competition."

Back to the main point; I was lucky enough to have gotten a slightly better configuration last Monday. The Mini 311, when it first came out in the Philippine market sometime in late October I think sold for Php 28,944 with these specs:
- 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280
- 160 GB SATA 5400 RPM Hard Drive
- Windows XP SP3 Home
- 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280
- 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM Hard Drive
- Windows 7 Starter 32-bit
And speaking of Windows 7, as I've mentioned earlier, the box contains 3 sets of manuals for 3 different languages but to my utter disappointment, HP was lazy enough so they didn't include recovery discs for the HP Mini 311; the consumer would have to burn those discs themselves. My opinion is that even though the unit comes with an external DVD burner (which is nice and spiffed up fancy itself), the recovery discs should've been made readily available starting day 1.
But they are not so here's what you do to create them:
What you need: 3 DVD-R's or DVD+R's or upto 20 CD-R's - though the bundled DVD drive can burn DVD-RW's, DVD-RAM, Dual-Layer DVD, the recovery disc creator program cannot handle these other formats so stick to the aforementioned formats.
All you have to do is, once you've set up your computer for first use and with your external DVD drive plugged in with a blank optical media inside, go to Start (which is actually just a glowing Windows orb where the normal old "Start" button on Win XP below was) > Recovery Manager.
Then progress through the dialogue windows that will appear in the ff. progression below:
In "I'd like to take precautions" column, choose "Recovery Disc Creation"
Click on "Next"
This will take a while, be patient
And if you can only do this procedure ONCE. In case you attempt to create another set (if you're like me who wants to get a proof of concept of sorts, or for just the fun of trying) you'll be shunned immediately and get this message:
But if let's say, for some reason, you weren't able to finish burning the entire set of discs - you ran out of DVD-R's and had to get some more, the application is smart enough to remember that you haven't really finished the last 2 discs so, technically, you haven't burned "one set", it'll automatically resume from when you last stopped.
These discs are what you use to restore your HP Mini 311 back to factory settings. Keep them safe - I suggest creating ISO images of these discs so in case something happens to the ones you've just created (optical media deteriorate over time), you can burn another set using your preferred burner application even if HP's Recovery Manager refuses to accommodate you.

A Buddhist ritual
On January 4th 2012, somes ashes of Dhardo Rimpoche (1917-1990) were enshrined in a stupa on top of a hill in Snowdonia, near Elephant Mountain, Wales.
Participating in the ritual were Suvajra, Mokshapriya, Priyavadita, Mokshajyoti and Vibhuti (behind the camera).
Some weeks later, Khenchen Lama Rinpoche named the stupa Kunzang Chorten. Chorten is the tibetan word for a stupa. Kunzang is the common shortening of Kuntu-zang-po which in Sanskrit is Samantabhadra (The All-Good). Samantabhadra of course rides on the back of an elephant so Lama-la was thinking it has to be Kunzang Chorten on the side of Elephant Mountain. There is another Elephant Mountain in China and no doubt it must have stupas on it too as it is a place of pilgrimage.

- 3rd Place in Aspiring Writer's March 2011 Writer's Competition
The brisk, frigid morning chapped against my skin. I breathed slowly and deeply while enjoying the taste of the air. I could still see smoke bellowing towards the sky deep in the horizon. The tensions of my muscles still ached from the battle the night before. I stood idly from the military encampment a few hundred yards away.
The battle the day before tested the endurance of my army. It had been perilously victorious, but costly. It had been a test to see if the brawn of my men could defeat the majesty of the sorceress. The heavily guarded castle was defended with stone and by the sorceress though the supernatural and magical monstrosities of her beckoning.
The war had raged for decades. The country-side which had once been the domain of the sorceress and her army had been liberated years before. Battle led to battle and victory led to victory. The cusp of the final battle was upon us. We had fought our way to the castle gates.
Yesterday, the inventive creations of the sorceress tested my battle worn men. Her army had nearly been annihilated but lightening, thunder, and storm became our adversaries. The wild beasts of the forest had embattled us for years. From every direction our enemy took on different incarnations.
The closer we neared victory the more horrific the battle became. Hurricanes and tornadoes and locusts and firestorms took the place of her army to fiercely combat the will of my soldiers. Upon entering the gates of the castle, the sorceress's horrifying countenance turned to snakes and fire. As our impending victory became evident it was her final intention to break the will of my men through pain and fear. My men would not back down. It was a war that had been fought hard and we were on the verge of victory. The freedom of our wives and children were at stake. Moreover, the costs of victory would be well rewarded. Peace and harmony would follow.
Fire met us at the gate. The winds of hurricane and firestorm were the last obstacle between us and our freedom. The vindictive ruler would be defeated. The first arrow pierced the sorceress. With it came a hollering scream with a high-pitched and magnified sound coming from the demons of hell. Fire came from her mouth and instantly turned a dozen of my men to ashes. Another arrow pierced her skin. This time is was through her neck. Lightening flashed down from the sky and it hit the ground with a thunderous crash. At last in a crusade which had lasted decades we would achieve victory. I ran to the sorceress, shield and sword in hand. As I ran towards her, the weakened sorceress, with lightening streaming from her finger tips, heinously fought to her last breath. My shield of iron blocked this final offensive, I lifted my sword, swung it through the air, and sliced her head off in one motion.
The winds subsisted. As the lifeless body of the sorceress fell to the ground the storm and the thunder were silenced. A crevice in the earth opened and fire glowed up through it. One last deafening roar from the depths of the earth was let out. From it, a swirling white-hot wind surrounded the lifeless body of the sorceress and dragged her to the depths of the earth. The crevice in the earth closed. As the sun crested between the clouds a light rain came down from the sky cooling our skin.

Bobby Jones
Bobby Jones
In February 2007, the Mannish Boys were set to begin production on their third release, "Big Plans" in a little studio located in North Hollywood, California. Accompanying pianist Leon Blue on his drive out from Las Vegas was a friend rumored to possess the ability to sing like B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf and Bobby "Blue" Bland. As the band went to work and the hours passed by, this mysterious guest patiently waited for his opportunity to reveal his well-concealed talents. Later that evening when legendary Chicago blues guitarist Jody Williams arrived, Williams exclaimed as he walked through the door, "Bobby Jones!" and Jones replied, "Jody Williams!" and a star was reborn.
Bobby Jones was raised on a 50-acre farm outside Farmerville, Louisiana and grew up singing gospel music in the church choir. At the age of sixteen, Jones forged documents to pass for twenty in order to join the U.S. Army and escape life on the family farm. After receiving an honorable discharge at his father's insistence he later relocated to Chicago in 1959, and it was there that his musical career began to materialize. Jones performed in many of the popular clubs of the day on the South Side of Chicago including Pepper's Lounge, Theresa's and the Trocadero, but his first big break came when he was asked to replace Junior Wells in the Aces after Wells' immediate departure motivated by hitting it big with his song, "Messin' with the Kid."
During the '60s and '70s Bobby Jones recorded sporadically for various labels in Chicago, including Vee-Jay, U.S.A., Expo, Capri, and Lionel, and decades later enjoyed a brief resurgence on the Southern Soul market, changing the spelling of his last name from Jones to Jonz. But real success always seemed to elude him. Upon hearing his spontaneous audition on a Howlin' Wolf song during the recording of the Mannish Boys' "Big Plans," however, it seems Jones' luck was about to change. Delta Groove label head, Randy Chortkoff, promptly offered Jones a recording contract and it wasn't long before this previously elusive vocalist had joined the ranks of the Mannish Boys and was appearing on international stages around the world.
"Comin' Back Hard" was recorded during the very same sessions that produced the critically-acclaimed 2008 Mannish Boys release, "Lowdown Feelin'," and was released the following year. In addition to the Mannish Boys, Jones is backed by special guests Al Blake, Lynwood Slim, Junior Watson and Fred Kaplan, all of whom help assist Jones in tackling classic material by Hank Ballard, Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, George "Harmonica" Smith and Junior Parker, among others. The All Music Guide awarded "Comin' Back Hard" with four stars declaring, "The richness of his solid, soul-sending voice is, in many ways, beyond compare, both in a retro and contemporary vein. Frankly, there are few singers who can match what he is putting down on this, his way-overdue debut as a leader." Jones later appeared on the Mannish Boys' fifth anniversary recording, "Shake for Me," in 2010.

It speaks for itself:
Some govern - some just say "NO" and hope the nation will fail.
Actually, the bill was called "The Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009." A major focus was to make up for decades of neglect to our infrastructure since the 1980s, including our public health sector.
3.000 people died on 9-11, which was a major economic shock. In the flu pandemic of 1919, 50 million died worldwide, a half million in the US (when the population was half what it is now).
You don't think a repeat of a disaster like that might affect the economy at least a little?

Tamaki (タマキ)Fellow guardian in the fight against the stray Blazers. Tamaki is first seen shopping and can't seem to locate Shiro, so she goes off and finds him and Daichi passed out. They rifle through his pockets before waking him up. Once Daichi wakes up, the three guardians talk about the creation of mystickers, which is then interrupted by the arrival of Beast. Thanks to a combined effort and the help of new mystickers, Daichi and Shiro defeat Beast while she helped using Wind and Aphrodite mixed together. Then, Shiro and Tamaki leave with the Testalossa mysticker. Tamaki is the exact opposite and is kind and friendly with everyone, and it is hinted that she has feelings for Shiro. Tamaki resembles Misora from this series as Daichi saw for a moment.
Alongside Shirou, Tamaki is a main character in the DS video game Blazer Drive where she fights against the villain Albert.

All New Website
Hi All
As you can see this is my all new website. It includes, of course, galleries for work, but also has a link on each gallery page for the artist statement and other information about the series work. One of the new features is a News page that actually works. I hope to be keeping up with posts of all news. I am launching the web site with my most current work. This is the web debut of my California Valley series that recently showed in May at Axis Gallery. The Signs of the Times and Towers series are also included in the initial launch. In the next few weeks I will be going back in time to add more work from the past. Next up will be The Highway Remembers and Almost Home-Less series. Eventually I will be adding some of my older analog work.
Closing Reception and Artist Talk
A big thanks to all that came to my talk and supported me and my show.
California Valley – Wonderful Today…Fabulous Tomorrow
California Valley – Wonderful Today…Fabulous Tomorrow is installed and opens tomorrow, April 30th and will be up until May 31st. The title is a direct quote form a c1963 brochure printed by the developer to sell the 7200 parcels in the development.

The entire day I have been busy editing this haul video and then when I was finished the rendering part took forever!!! When rendering a video, my laptop becomes super slow and basically un-workable for me. I just get frustrated and want to throw my laptop out of the window. So I usually do something else in the meantime.
I wanted to put this post up earlier today so I can do a post about the haul video. But I might not upload it as it is already quite late and I know uploading this video is going to take forever!!!
Anyhow, now for the project samples. End of week 7, this week I really enjoyed the samples.
The first sample is the Guhl rich nourishment hair mask, this was good for just one use. And I really liked the scent of this product. It contains monoi oil and apparently that is great if you have damaged hair. But my hair was already pretty soft so after this I however did not feel a great difference. But the mask working time is only 1 minute so it works pretty fast which is great if you are a quick shower type of girl. I would definitely purchase the full size of this when I run out of my other hair masks.
The second sample is the olaz or olay anti-wrinkle cream, this was a pretty small sample. But because it was anti-wrinkle cream I used this for my eye area and I have to say the cream itself is very greasy so if you have oily skin I would not recommend this. Also as an sample, it had no cap so after I opened it I could only use it once. But I transferred it into a different jar so I could use it multiple times. But after leaving my eye area so oily I just stopped using it and binned the rest of the product.
The last is the Montagne Jeunesse blemish mud mask. This was good for just one use, but I am definitely going out to get more. It is a nice mud mask, which you keep on for about 10-15 minutes or until the mud entirely dries. I left it on for about 15 minutes and when I washed it off, my face felt so fresh and clean! And also dry in a good way and not oily at all!! I have been breaking out so my skin feels pretty oily most of the time and this made my skin feel normal!
That was it for project samples week 7, overall a pretty good impression on me except the olaz/olay cream.
Have you tried any of these products?

Posted only because it's a posed shot which is on the public Facebook page of a Professional Photographer (since May) with their logo. IMO that's why Lion isn't in the photo..so the photographer could post this pic. Lets not forget Saxon has been seen on H50 and other pics from Egan. Photos of Spike are everywhere.

Stock status - Concern - Of the 60 species in the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) management unit, several species are overfished. The overfished stocks include red porgy, red snapper, snowy grouper, speckled hind, red grouper, and Warsaw grouper. Several management actions have been developed by the SAFMC to reduce effort in the fishery to ensure that stocks in the fishery management complex are not experiencing overfishing.

jacks room door plaque.xx
so what did i do.first i gave the front and edges of the plaque a rough coat of acrylic paint.loads of time later after it had dried i used the plaque as a template to cut some white card.i then used distress inks tumbled glass and broken china to create the sea.i have used a creative expressions stamp set called sealife to create the rest.i stamped and coloured all the images with promarkers, some have been stuck down flat and other raised with 3d pads.i have then added a few gems to the treasure chest and coated all of it apart from the sea in a thin coat of glossy accents so they look wet.lol.
promarker colours used are:
CORAL=lime green,forest green,apricot,sandstone,cool grey 1,2,4,gold,pumpkin,orange,cerise,mulberry.
CRAB=red,ruby,cardinal red,burgandy.
cor thats some colours and i only just fit it all on my post it note.lol.
a piccy so you can see the raised bits.
a sideways.
and how it started life and what a bargain at 10p.
thanks so much for popping by.i have got work in the morning then straight onto a kids birthday party with my little lad for 3 hours!!!!.out for lunch on sunday so hopefully in between all that i will manage to make some more creations.lol.enjoy the rest of your evening.i`m watching ,my dvd of true blood again and have read my first 2 books so went and bought the next 2 yesterday and am now on book 3.don`t know if any of you have read it but the books are very different to the tv series.lol.better stop waffling.ttfn.luv coops.xx

Location: 8th and Duncannon (location of playground; large field is on Lindley, at 7th)
Date visited: Jun 17, 2013
- Small kids' zone (fenced in, shady) has a cement turtle (can climb on or under), 4 bucket swings and a small playset with a jointed bridge and three plastic slides (2 straight, 1 curved)
- Bigger playset has 3 tall straight slides (2 plastic, 1 metal), 1 spiral plastic slide, monkey bars, and a fireman's pole
- 4 strap swings near bigger playset
- freestanding "totem pole" water sprayer, surrounded by a cement circle
Surface: rubbery, though dried out/hardened in spots
Shade(0-3): 1 (some in small-kids zone, none in big-kids zone)
Water: Y (see above)
Other: chess tables, extra blacktop, tennis courts, large football field (plus multiple baseball, though seemed largely unused), basketball, small rec center
Access: fenced in, but not sure about hours, presumably standard rec center hours
Impressions: Nice spot for little kids, with a deeply shady protected corner of the park. Decent offering for older kids, but the equipment gets no shade from the many trees (although the swings do) and the raggedy ground surfaces and occasional trash and graffiti detract a bit from the experience. Basically fine, with a relatively quiet residential setting, but not a draw from any distance
Overall rating: 7

Title : Carrier Aces
Publisher : Cybersoft
Developer : Synergistic Software Inc.
Genre : WWII Action Simulator
Players : 1 Player
Release Date : 1995
Estimated Value (as of today's date) : $7-$10
We're back at it with some Super Nintendo action, this time with a World War II flight simulator. Not one of my favorite genres of video games, but hey what are you going to do. It's my life long quest to play through all these games no matter how much I may not want to. Oh, and I apologize in advance for some lack of capital letters in this upcoming review. Writing from my laptop, and my left shift key is completely busted.
I also might be a tad bit distracted, because Congo just started playing on Netflix...I can't resist a bad movie, much less a bad video game. So, here we go. Carrier Aces pitting you in epic dog fights between US and Japanese forces, however the twist of this game is you can actually choose between the Japanese and US side. Typically you're defaulted into the US cockpit, so this is a nice change.
Let's make this a quickie, I've got the new blog to design, and these type of games typically are speedy ones. I've got a hankering to blow some planes up anyway.
As stated earlier, Carrier Aces takes place during World War II at the height of the conflict. Dog fighting, and bombing runs were one of the primary methods of battle during this time, so it's no surprise that there were a lot of games based on this for the 8-bit and 16-bit systems (wasn't until the playstation that we were greeted with the good 'ol call of duty series..ha....duty)
Choosing between the Japanese or US forces, you'll take place in various campaign missions from your aircraft carrier. Missions include dog fights, strafing runs, and attacks across islands or various ships scattered across the pacific. And be prepared to take part in quite the array of missions, because this game seems to go on forever, and there's no save mode. So unless you have a couple of hours on your hands, don't dedicate too much time.
In a way there is a bit of strategy involved too, as each mission forces you to gain control of specific areas of the map by completing certain segments. Oh, and take advantage of the training missions as well, because you'll need to learn how to control these aircraft if you want to get anywhere in this game.
At the beginning of each mission, you choose what aircraft you want to bring with you, and each aircraft has their own statistics. So if you're in dog fight mission, you don't want to choose bombing planes, because they'll just be sitting ducks. This is where the strategy element falls in.
Hell, if you don't even like flying you can always just take a seat behind an anti-air craft cannon and try to blow your opponent out of the sky, but have fun with that. It's even harder than flying.
Honestly, the thing i don't like about this game is the split screen. Tends to get on my nerves considering it's showing you both your own planes and opponents aircraft. Unless I'm missing some sort of two player mode that I couldn't figure out......which would make sense for the split screen....anyone have any answers for me?
The visuals are a bit dull, and there is never really much on the screen besides your own planes and a really pitiful looking hud display showing your fuel, ammo, speed, and compass. It's got some weird mix of mode 7 display and weird 2D sprite effects that don't seem to work all that well. I'd much rather take a seat in the aircraft in battlefield for the PS4, which reminds me I need to download the most recent map pack. I really don't take enough advantage of paying the full amount.
Can't say much about the audio or music...there's not much, and whatever music there is it's more like a bad PC game soundtrack. Can't say I was surprised.
All in all - it's just a flight sim strategy game with insanely difficult controls, and it seems to last forever. Not bad, not great. Just below mediocre.....

Another bridge directly on Madison's Heritage Trail is the Crooked Creek Rail Bridge. The rails are not seen in these pictures here, because they are located at the top of the ridge that the bridge supports. While it certainly is not as in as bad of shape as its neighbor down stream, it's still worth taking a look. According to the discussion on Bridge Hunter there is some documentation that shows this bridge opened in 1841, making it one of the earliest bridges built in the entire state!
|If you don't want to get wet, the only way to really get in the tunnel is this skinny walkway.
|Check out the limestone used in the floor of the tunnel.
Update: 06/12/13
We went back and checked out the Crooked Creek railroad bridge again and decided to insert a few more pictures into this post.
|The silhouette of the explorer seen on the right side of this picture gives you an idea of the scale of the tunnel supporting the railroad far up above.
|Here is another shot of the entrance on the Heritage Trail side of the tunnel.

Would it surprise you to know that
you can grow many of your favorite vegetables from your kitchen vegetable
scraps? It can be as easy as cutting off the base of your celery
or bok choy and setting them in a bowl of water for a few
days (see left). After some time, remove it from the water and plant it in
a cup or pot where you can control the moisture while it
grows healthy roots - then it's ready to go into your garden
or a larger pot. You're Done!
(celery and bok choy just starting in these photos)
Bok Choy is easy to grow and you can break off what
you need fresh for each stir fry - keep the plant
watered and it keeps growing fresh for the next time you
need it. Green onions will grow quickly just by
cutting off the base(s) and planting them right in your
garden (this takes 30 seconds). Water as required for
the first week or so and you'll likely have more fresh
green onions than you can use, just cut what you need
and they keep on coming up fresh. Once you see how fast and
how many come up, you'll be looking for new green onion
recipes (add them to your fried
eggs while cooking for an extra treat)Potatoes, garlic, onions, romaine
lettuce..... they're pretty much all the same (although some grow
faster than others).
The next time you compost or throw
away your kitchen vegetable scraps try to remember that they
could easily grow into new plants, vegetables that will be grown
without insecticides or other sprays applied to them. In all
likelihood your new plants will be better for your health than
the vegetables that you purchased in the first place!
Have you ever thought about trying
to plant the seeds from a really nice tomato, green pepper or
chili that your neighbor gave to you? You can - there are some
tricks and tips explained in the selected sites below, but it's
easy to do.

Bug proof your camp
Be insect smart to ensure the little critters don't ruin your next trip away.
Nothing can spoil a sunset quite as efficiently as a mosquito,
their buzzing and biting can ruin even the most peaceful location.
Unfortunately for campers, mosquitoes aren't the only insect the
Australian countryside has to offer; we also have midges, ticks,
bees, wasps, blow flies, horse flies, leeches, spiders, scorpions,
millipedes, centipedes, beetles, locusts and ants of all different
shapes, colours and sizes.
Not only are most of these insects unpleasant to share a tent with, they can also give you a nasty bite, cause allergic reactions and some can spread serious diseases. However, they need not ruin your holiday, with a whole range of tricks and products available to keep them at bay.
Insects of all kinds are attracted to light in the evening. Red and yellow lights are not nearly so attractive to bugs, and it is easy to pop some of the kids' coloured cellophane into your camping kit.
Keeping a bright white or ultraviolet light running upwind of your camp site can help draw insects away and keeping the lights in your sleeping area off until you go to bed will help keep the area insect free for a good nights sleep.
Headlamps with a red LED are a good option for middle of the night bathroom runs.
The most efficient and obvious way of excluding bugs from your camping holiday is to erect a screen between you and them. Mosquitoes can detect the carbon dioxide which humans exhale, so screens are the best way of making sure they cannot reach you.
Most camper trailers come with the option of a walled-in annexe and if you like to enjoy the afternoon breeze in peace it is a good option. A large range of easily erected bug proof tents are also available from camp gear manufacturers. For roadside stops ARB offers a neat awning for the side of your car with an optional mosquito net.
It is important to note that not all meshes will keep every insect at bay, with tiny midges (also known as sandflies) able to penetrate many mosquito-proof screens.
You won't be spending your entire trip safe in your annexe so it is smart to wear clothes that cover most of your body. Long sleeves, full-length pants, closed-in shoes and a wide brimmed hat will keep you comfortable in all but the hottest weather, whilst also providing efficient sun, mosquito, midge and tick protection. It is a good idea to put on a second layer at sunset, when mosquitoes are most active, as they can actually bite you through just one.
Classic cork hats do a good job of keeping flies away from your face and hats utilising mesh in a similar way will protect it from mosquitoes.
Wear light colours such as beige or green, as mosquitoes are most attracted to dark colours like red and black.
Clothes impregnated with insect repellent can also be purchased, and there are a number of different brands available. They are generally expensive but could be a good option if you are the type of person whom mosquitoes just love.
A good insect repellent enables you to protect those areas your clothes don't cover. Spray on repellents such as Bushmans, Aeroguard, RID and OFF! are classic favourites and generally do an excellent job.
The active ingredient in most of these products is diethyl toluamide (DEET), a magic chemical which most insects absolutely loathe the smell of. However, it can act as a skin irritant and should not be used repeatedly over a long period of time. It should also only be used sparingly on children under 12. DEET can damage some fabrics and irreparably ruin waterproof coatings, so be careful when spraying it around your canvas.
There are also some natural repellents which do a reasonable job, such as Moov, which contains melaleuca oil, and Nature's Botanical, which contains Rosemary and Cedarwood oils.
A number of repellents are also available which are dispensed by burning or vaporising into the air around where you are sitting, and do not have to be applied directly onto the skin.
The ubiquitous mosquito coil is the obvious example, and is already included in most camping kits. The active ingredient in these coils is generally pyrethrum, although some also contain citronella oil, both of which are effective repellents. Smoke from the camp fire and most incense will also help to repel bugs.
Insecticide pads are a more modern example of the same idea and work by vaporising a repellent using heat, either from a butane canister or 12V power supply.
Coils and insecticide pads work best in enclosed spaces, and are great when used in your closed annexe, to prevent insects coming in when people enter or exit the door. They also work when used in open spaces, but are less effective.
Mosquitoes and midges aren't the only insects that can give you serious camping headaches.
Ants are attracted to food and water and can be guaranteed to find them if you leave them out. Ensure they are stored in tightly sealed containers and that you dispose of any leftovers in a sealed rubbish bin or far from your camp site.
To keep ants from reaching the food on a table you can sit each of the table's legs in a small bucket of water. This is effective so long as the ants do not form a bridge using their drowned companions.
There is no place spiders love more than shoes, clothes and bedding, so when not in use keep them things zipped somewhere safe, such as your sleeping area.
Here are some simple tips to help you choose an insect free camp site: Mosquitoes and midges breed in still water so beach sites should be far from mangroves or estuaries.
Near a river choose an area with steep banks, little vegetation
and flowing water. Higher ground is normally drier. Ti-trees,
paperbarks and ferns indicate you are in a swampy area.
Camping upwind of stock animals can help draw mozzies away.
When it is windy trees can dump all kinds of insects on your site, so camp a little distance away. Check for any nearby ant nests before setting up camp.
No matter how careful you are it is likely that someone in your party will get bitten during your time away. There are a whole range of products available at the chemist that offer relief from bites and stings, and natural products like diluted ti-tree oil, aloe vera gel and ice also do a good job at relieving swelling, redness and pain. Keep an antibacterial cream on hand to avoid bites becoming infected.
People who experience larger than usual swelling should get a mild antihistamine recommended by their doctor.
