Corsair's newest, their TWINX2048-4000PT Platinum Series gets a workout at Think Computers. They are impressed by the timings, and the speeds they could get when manipulating the the timings.
'Hot off the heels of the last Corsair review, we have another Corsair review for you. Corsair has
done it again, they are leading the pack in memory technology advancements, by releasing yet
another quality high performance memory product.
High Speed, Low Latency, Easy Overclocking
Subject: Memory | October 28, 2005 - 07:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Having a high FSB isn't the only way for memory to excel. Overclockers Online looks at OCZ's PC4000 2GB EB Platinum Edition. This set of dual channel RAM is set to very low latency right out of the box. Either leave it alone, and enjoy the performance, or find your own overclocked sweet spot with this kit.
"Gone are the days when the best performance is provided by 1GB kits of memory.
OCZ's memory is going for the gold
Subject: Memory | October 26, 2005 - 01:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
OCZ's 500Mhz, 2GB dual channel kit, the EL DDR PC-4000 1024MB Gold Edition Dual Channel, performs well straight out of the box, and better once you overclock it. Even better is the lifetime warranty that comes with it. Red & Blackness Mods puts it through the paces, check out the review.
"Todays games have started to require more power and one of the main things is ram. 1Gb or ram is
required these days and 2Gb is almost recommended.
256, 512, 1024 & 2048, what does more RAM do to gaming
Subject: Memory | October 21, 2005 - 06:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Legion Hardware runs a series of test benchmarks using differeny amounts of RAM, both single and dual channel. See what the tests say about the effect of gobs 'o RAM on your Frames Per Second and load times.
"Given we now know 1GB of memory is the sweet spot, how much faster is 1GB than 512MB or even
256MB in today's games? There are still a huge amount of gamers out there fragging away with just
512MB of memory.
Which DIMM shines brightest?
Subject: Memory | October 19, 2005 - 11:49 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Legit Reviews has a 3 way overclocking memory kit comparison, between A-DATA, Kingston, and Mushkin. All of the kits are PC2-6400/DDR2 800MHz, but they all have different timings, and different voltages. See which of the 3 you like best.
"The Mushkin eXtreme PC2-6400 modules loaded Windows at 1060MHz on the first try. Although we
later found that 1060MHz was unstable this was an impressive achievement. After RST Pro2 testing
we found that 1042MHz was 100% stable on our 2GB memory kit...
Golden Emperor International Ltd (GEIL) RAM
Subject: Memory | October 17, 2005 - 11:51 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
GeIL may not get the attention that other RAM manufacturers get, but they are certainly still working away at improving their products. The PC2-4300 Ultra DDR2 Dual Channel Kit HardwareZoom reviews is not only low latency, but has a huge heat spreader that can't hurt your efforts at overclocking.
"Specialised in memory modules design and manufacturing, GeIL has been making high performance memory modules since 1997.
It's a Corsair Double Feature
Subject: Memory | October 12, 2005 - 06:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Guru3D looks at 2 of Corsair's top of the line RAM kits. You can choose the 667 MHz DDR2 with some very firm 3:2:2:8 timings, or the 800Mhz DDR2 with 5:5:5:12, just make sure you read the review before you do.

Corsair's paired 1GB CAS 2 sticks

TECHGAGE has a review of Corsair's
TWINX2048-3500LLPRO, with stock timings of 2-3-2-6-1T. The overclocking test proved that while you cannot hold the CAS of 2, you can certainly get a great deal more bus speed out of them.
"We have just posted a new review of the Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO modules, which are the worlds first 2GB kit to have a CAS latency of 2 at these speeds.
1 GB vs. 2 GB - The benchmark war
Subject: Memory | October 6, 2005 - 01:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Legion Hardware runs some tests using SiSoft, Doom3, F.E.A.R and BF2, to see what the benchmark differences are between using 1 GB or 2GB.
"Recently, Corsair released a PDF document showing quite a considerable gain in Battlefield 2 performance when moving from 1GB to 2GB's of system memory. While I do believe their findings and comments to be accurate there are a few points that need to be clarified. Firstly I feel the system Corsair put together for this presentation was somewhat unbalanced.

Starbucks will move its European headquarters to London from the Netherlands this year and pay more tax in the UK as a result, the company said on Wednesday.
The shift by the world's largest coffee chain comes after its low tax contributions in Britain provoked widespread criticism, including Prime Minister David Cameron telling a meeting in Davos that companies that avoided paying tax needed to "wake up and smell the coffee''.
Starbucks was called to testify before a parliamentary hearing about its tax affairs after Reuters reported in 2012 that the company had told the UK tax authority its British arm was a loss-making business while informing investors that the subsidiary was profitable.
Read MoreStarbooze? Starbucks expands its menu
The company revealed at the hearing that it had agreed a deal with Dutch tax authorities allowing it to pay "a very low tax rate'' there. This agreement meant the group was able to reduce its tax liability by having its European subsidiaries pay large royalties to the Dutch unit for using the Starbucks brand.
That system—slammed by UK lawmakers in a report in 2012—will now be abandoned and the European businesses will pay fees to a British subsidiary, the group's Europe, Middle East and Africa boss said.
"This means we will pay more tax in the UK,'' Kris Engskov said in a telephone interview.
Engskov said the criticism the company faced had not, as some business leaders claimed, made Britain a less attractive place to invest.
Read MoreLightning Round: Netflix, Starbucks, & More
"The UK is a great place to do business,'' he said.
Heather Self, partner at law firm Pinsent Masons, said the move to London followed a change in UK tax rules aimed at encouraging international companies to locate their headquarters in Britain, whereby UK-registered companies are no longer taxed on income earned outside the country.

HSI/Canada, MP Fin Donnelly and Municipal Representatives Call for Federal Ban on Shark Fin Trade
VICTORIA, British Columbia — Humane Society International/Canada held a press conference with Fin Donnelly, Member of Parliament, and a coalition of municipal representatives, to promote C-380, a federal bill to ban the import of shark fins into Canada.
"More than a dozen Canadian municipalities have taken action to prohibit the sale of shark fins, and it is clear Canadians want to see the trade in shark fins ended nationally," said Gabriel Wildgen, campaigner for HSI/Canada. "Humane Society International/Canada urges all Canadians to contact their Members of Parliament in support of bill C-380 to ban the import of shark fins into this country."
"Cities across Canada are taking action to protect sharks; it's time the federal government does the same," said Fin Donnelly, Member of Parliament (New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody). "The loss of sharks is a global conservation crisis requiring national attention; Canada must do what it can to fight against the international trade of shark fins which is driving the illegal and harmful practice of shark finning."
Canadians: Download our petitions [English French] in support of a ban.
HSI/Canada and Donnelly were joined at the press conference by Vancouver Councillor Kerry Jang, Port Moody Councillor Rick Glumac, Victoria Councillor Charlayne Thornton-Joe, Abbotsford Councillor Dr. Bruce Banman, and Fin Free Victoria along with special student guests from Glenlyon Norfolk School and St. Margaret School.
"Overfishing is the real problem. We must reduce demand and bans are the only effective tool we have given the lack of any federal regulations," said Vancouver Councillor Kerry Jang. "Banning shark fin is not an issue of culture, but an ethical one that affects everyone, no matter who you are, where you come from, or what culture you belong to."
- In November 2011, Fin Donnelly, MP, introduced Private Member's Bill C-380, which would prohibit the import of shark fins into Canada. Members of Parliament will vote on whether to advance the bill in either late 2012 or early 2013.
- Sharks are apex predators whose survival affects all other marine species and entire ocean ecosystems.
- The fins from as many as 73 million sharks are used to feed the growing demand for shark fin products each year.
- In 2009 alone, Canada imported 77,000 kilograms of shark fins.
- Shark fins are often harvested through a practice known as "shark finning," which involves cutting the fins off of sharks and then throwing the sharks back into the ocean, often while still alive, leaving the animals to die a slow death.
- Unlike other fish species, sharks produce very few young and mature slowly and, consequently, overexploited populations can take years or even decades to recover.
- Several states in the U.S. and the territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands have banned the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins.
- Shark fin products are primarily served in a soup broth at Chinese banquets, such as weddings. The demand for this dish, coupled with unsustainable fishing methods, have led some shark populations to decline by as much as 99 percent in recent decades.
Media Contact: Dean Pogas, HSI/Canada: 514-261-6007/514-395-2914; email@example.com
Humane Society International/Canada is a leading force for animal protection, representing tens of thousands of members and constituents across the country. HSI Canada has active programs in companion animals, wildlife and habitat protection, marine mammal preservation and farm animal welfare. HSI Canada is proud to be a part of Humane Society International—one of the largest animal protection organizations in the world, with more than 11 million members and constituents globally.

Capclave and Columbus and teleConference, Oh My!
No blog on Friday and Monday. On Friday and Saturday I'll be at the Capclave Science Fiction Convention, where I'm a panelist (three panels, moderating two of them – here's my Capclave bio with a link to my schedule), doing a book launch for my new SF novel, "When Parallel Lines Meet" (co-written with Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn), and doing two autograph sessions. So no table tennis for me those two days, though I have a full day of TT scheduled on Sunday. Monday is Columbus Day, so I'm taking the day off – except for a 7PM USATT Board of Directors Teleconference.
2018 World Veteran Championships in Las Vegas
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity – or at least once every 27 years, the last time the U.S. held a World Veterans Table Tennis Championship, back in 1990. The 2018 World Veterans Championships will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, June 18-24, and if you are over the age of 40 (as of Dec. 31, 2018), you need to be there.
Let's start with the basics – the events. There are eleven age categories, with singles and doubles in each.
- 40 - 44 years (Born 1978 or before)
- 45 - 49 years (Born 1973 or before)
- 50 - 54 years (Born 1968 or before)
- 55 - 59 years (Born 1963 or before)
- 60 - 64 years (Born 1958 or before)
- 65 - 69 years (Born 1953 or before)
- 70 - 74 years (Born 1948 or before)
- 75 - 79 years (Born 1943 or before)
- 80 - 84 years (Born 1938 or before)
- 85 - 89 years (Born 1933 or before)
- Over 90 years (Born 1928 or before)
All events, both singles and doubles, will have preliminary groups of four, with two advancing to the championship draw and the other two to the consolation draw. If you enter both singles and doubles, you should play eight matches.
You are probably asking yourself, "I haven't got a chance! The best players in the world will be there!" Well, it's true – the best players will be there, and most players are not going to become World Champion. But that's not the reason you go to the World Veterans Championships (unless you are one of the best of your age in the world) – you go there to compete, meet other players (including the best in the world), have fun, spectate, shop, and enjoy the Las Vegas vacationland. It'll be a full week of table tennis paradise, where you hobnob with your table tennis friends (old and new) and the stars. You'll get to attend in person the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as sightseeing and social events planned.
Which top players will be there? We don't really know yet. But we do know we are looking at a probable record number of entries. There were 4602 players at the last World Veterans, in Spain in 2016, but as of the end of August there were double the number of entries this year as there were in 2016 at that time. There are currently 1447 players entered in the online listing (which you can list by name, country, or events), but that doesn't include most of the 1400 reserved entries from Germany, as well as over 250 that are "pending." That puts us at over 3000 (already more than 1990, when we previously held it), and it's still over two months until the "Early Bird" deadline of Dec. 15. The maximum number of entries that will be allowed is 5000, and it's almost certain that we will reach that number – so enter now, while you can!
There are already over 200 entries each from Germany and China, and about 170 from India, so we are on a pace for huge numbers from them, as well as from the U.S., where we definitely will have a record number of entries. Yes, all your friends will be there – will you? (If you are worried about rating points, don't. The tournament is not USATT rated. So you get to play for fun and competition.)
Think about it – we normally get 700-1000 players in our U.S. Nationals and Opens. There'll be about 5000 at the 2018 World Veterans, from all over the world. It's still early, and yet we already have players from 58 countries – ARG, AUS, AUT, BEL, BRA, CAN, CHI, CHN, COL, CZE, DEN, ENG, ESP, EST, FIN, FRA, GER, HKG, HUN, IMN, IND, IRI, IRL, ISR, ITA, JPN, KAZ, KOS, LTU, LUX, MAS, MGL, NED, NEP, NGR, NOR, NZL, PAK, PER, PHI, PLE, POL, POR, ROU, RSA, RUS, SCO, SIN, SRI, SUI, SVK, SWE, TPE, TUR, UAE, UKR, USA, AND VIE.
Since it's taking place in the U.S., there's going to be a lot of interest in USA players. The Over 60 Men's Doubles Team of Cheng Yinghua and Dan Seemiller (both USATT Hall of Famers) will likely be a huge fan favorite. Both of them spent about a decade dominating table tennis in the U.S., both are surprisingly better at doubles than singles. With Cheng's two-winged attacks and consistency, and the lefty Dan's receive and ball control, they have a legitimate chance of winning. Dan is 5-time U.S. Men's Singles Champion, 12-times Men's Doubles Champion, and 8-time Mixed Doubles Champion. Dan also won the Bronze Medal for 60-64 Men's Doubles at the 2016 World Veterans with David Sakai. Cheng was 4-time U.S. Men's Singles Champion, 3-time Men's Doubles Champion, 5-time Mixed Doubles Champion (as well as winning Men's Singles and Doubles at the U.S. Open twice each) – but before he came to the U.S., he was two-time China Open Men's Doubles Champion. They will also both be battling it out in the 60-64 age category. Cheng will actually be only 59 at the time, but they take ages as of Dec. 31. Dan will turn 64 five days before the competition begins.
Cost is $185 if you enter by the Dec. 15 "Early Bird" deadline. Then the price goes up to $235, with entries cutting off when they reach 5000 or on March 15 – but it's likely they will reach 5000 well before that, so enter soon. Included in entry fees:
- Entry to both Singles and Doubles
- Use of practice facilities
- Free monorail pass for the week (if you stay at the host hotels)
- Free pickup at the airport (if you stay at the host hotels)
- Participation in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies
- Personal accreditation
- Tournament documents
- Participant's diploma and gift
The event will be run by USA Table Tennis, in conjunction with the World Veterans Committee (with Director Eberhard Schöler and chair Hans Westling). The Organizing Committee is co-chaired by Dan Seemiller and David Sakai, with Honorary Host Stellan Bengtsson, and members Gail Kendall, Mike Babuin, Dean Johnson, Dell Sweeris, and Thor Truelson.
Here's the Volunteer page if you would like to help out and get hospitality. (Alas, you can't both volunteer and play – but you get to be a HUGE part of the event!) They are looking for volunteers for the following categories: Field of play (table managers, scorekeepers, and other related activities); Data entry; Tournament operations; Hospitality; Accreditation and Administration; Events; Transportation; Translators; and General Assistance.
Here is a listing of USA medalists at the 2016 World Veterans in Spain:
- Charlene Liu/Patty Martinez won the silver medal in Women's 60-64 Doubles
- David Sakai/Dan Seemiller won the bronze medal in Men's 60-64 Doubles
- Minming ZHU won the gold medal in Women's Singles 60-64 Consolation
- TingNing Cheung won the bronze in Women's Singles 65-69
- Ting Ning Cheung/Chiyako Suzuki won the silver medal in Women's 65-69 Doubles
- Donna Sakai/Connie Sweeris won the bronze medal in Women's 65-69 Doubles Consolation
- Chong Keng Tay won the bronze in Men's Singles 75-79
So how do you enter? Here's the Registration page, and in just minutes you will be entered. Then take your pick of hotels from the Hospitality page – Bally's, Caesars, Flamingo, Harrahs, or the Paris Hotel. Then practice up!

Hi Vincent,
I just checked on this, and am adding the following to the article:
All events, both singles and doubles, will have preliminary groups of four, with two advancing to the championship draw and the other two to the consolation draw. If you enter both singles and doubles, you should play eight matches.

I mean, who doesn't want to get paid for ordering and eating free pizza?!!
While I cannot delve into the details of the pizza task~ it basically consisted of ordering a pizza for delivery and preparing a report about the experience in terms of customer service -- was the service prompt and polite? Did I receive the pizza in good condition? i.e. still hot and not smooshed in its box?
Fortunately, my first mystery shopping experience went well. The order takers spoke and understood English, so no lost in translation scenario here. Plus, the pizza was really yummy! I haven't tried this pizza before because it's more than twice the normal price of other pizza places in my area. But the pizza was pretty delicious, so good that I've ordered two pizzas from them since.
The pay in mystery shopping isn't spectacular but I'm not really after the pay, haha! It's the free nosh that excites me. Since one can choose which assignments to accept, it's a pretty stress-free sideline. I, being
Do you want to try mystery shopping too? :-)

My first DIY on the blog! And it's a super easy one :)
I never know what to do with my old shopping bags. You know, the really cute ones you get sometimes... Don't you just hate to throw them away? Well, problem solved.
For this little project you'll need a shopping bag, (I also used that protector bag that usually comes with designer purses, which I never use those things anyway) frames, poster board, glue, tape, some scissors and a pencil for tracing. This is so easy, it really doesn't even need anymore explanation. Just cut your bag and the poster board to the size you prefer, glue and/or tape the bag to the poster board, then insert in your frame and voilà! Easy peasy!
I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial. I had a lot of fun doing this one, so let me know if you try it. Happy Weekend!

Sick Monkey
I haven't blogged since Halloween but I know you have already seen pictures of Braden in his monkey suit. We spent Halloween with the Johnson's. We had an open house that day so we headed over to Woodbury for the day. Trick-or-treating started right after dinner. Braden wasn't feeling super hot that afternoon so he stayed in the stroller or our arms until we got up to each house. Then he was eager to reach into the candy bowl to pick out his prize - or mom and dad's prize rather since he isn't eating candy quite yet. :) He took in all the costumes and wasn't even scared, but just stared and pointed. Next year will be a lot more fun, but we still had a good time seeing all the kids and taking Braden out.
That night we awoke at 2am with the flu symptoms, so needless to say on Monday we were all in a vegetable like state with Braden feeling the best. It was hard to all be sick at the same time, nobody could really play with Braden and we would have to take turns making him meals because every time we got up we felt sick. So, the flu is going around so we hear! We hope you all can avoid it, but it only lasted one full day for us thankfully.
Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and the beginning of Nov. (yikes) is treating you well!

If you follow the Inside BlackBerry® blog, you may have seen this BlackBerry® Travel™ app post from my colleague Andreas. BlackBerry Travel is a new application – currently available in Beta in the US, Canada, UK and Spain – that makes staying on top of your travel arrangements really easy! Today I'd like to show you just how easy it is to get the BlackBerry Travel app installed and set up on your BlackBerry smartphone, and answer some of the questions you might have when you first start using the app.
With that being said, let's get started with an installation and setup overview, and finish up with some troubleshooting tips based on some questions I asked myself when I first set up the BlackBerry Travel app.

APHA and the Public Health Foundation have jointly released a tool for health departments to measure and improve performance of their policy efforts.
"Performance Measurement for Public Health Policy" was created through the Affordable Care Act's Prevention and Public Health Fund as part of the National Public Health Improvement Initiative. APHA and PHF are two of five public health organizations that works with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide capacity building assistance to state, tribal, local and territorial health departments in performance improvement and accreditation readiness.
The tool breaks down how health departments affect public health policy in three sections. It first defines distinct policy types — organizational, regulatory and legislative — and elements that track policy progress and improvement.
Section two provides sample metrics tables and example policy categories to measure effectiveness of various types of policy activities. The final section "puts it all together" with three examples of how a health department might apply policy performance measurement to their specific needs.
"While other performance measurement and evaluation guides exist, this is the first tool to focus explicitly on performance measurement for public health policy," APHA states on its website.
Download the tool and a template for health departments to track their own policies online.

Hi, I suffer alot with hypoglycemia (and other problems) In the mornings my blood sugar levels are usually low (has been as low as 1.4mmol) i know that it can be lower than the normal range in the mornings but it is usually in the low 3's and 2'smmol. What i wanted to know is this:
the last couple of days my blood sugar has been 5.6mmol etc in the morning.It has never been anywhere near the 5'smmol in the mornings since ive been testing it (every morning - it bearly goes above the low 4'smmol). About an hour-hour and a half before i tested it i woke feeling really hungery/ strange feeling hard to describe. Could my blood sugar have been higher than usual because my sugar levels had dropped? please post back. Thanks.

We are training other doctors in the technique and building a provider network. Like any new technique, the medical community takes some time to adopt the procedure. To see if there is a doctor in your area, click here.
Based on the research in this area, local cell type, pressure, and chemical environment also help the cells to determine which type of cells will be formed.
Unlike embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells do not generally keep growing, even in culture. For example, most patients whose stem cells we grow to bigger numbers in the lab will lose their ability for continued cell growth after just a few weeks. In addition, the same body signals that would tell these cells to stop growing in healing a normal fracture or ligament tear are still present in your body.
The basic science on adult stem cells shows that if the cells are kept in culture for short periods, that there is no risk of the cells becoming cancerous. We have published the world's largest (to date) safety and complications tracking study of adult stem cell use in patients. This study did not show any serious stem cell related complications and it did not show that any patient developed a stem cell related cancer. Finally, we maintain an extensive complications tracking database with patient contacts at specified times. We have seen no evidence of significant complications at these re-implant sites. We also work with an outside lab for quality to clear each patient's cells before they are used in treatment as an additional safety check.
Approximately 8 years.
Mesenchymal stem cells will stop proliferating when they physically contact each other (otherwise known in cell culture lingo as "confluence"). Culturing these cells, it becomes obvious that once they reach that point, they refuse to continue to grow (proliferate). This is because they are repair cells and when an area in need of repair is fully covered, they get the signal to stop growing. In the approximately 60 patients where we have ongoing MRI surveillance of the re-implant sites, there has been no evidence of overgrowth where the regeneration has surpassed "expected optimal growth".
MSC's do stay local at the injection site across multiple studies. This is likely linked to the fact that they generally do not circulate in the blood stream like other adult stem cell types and are primarily found resident in the tissues they serve.
AZ Pain Centers developed a new advanced medical technique called Comfort Technology™ which allows even the most pain sensitive patients to get the help they need. The medications and the techniques used were designed to eliminate pain, not cause more. Most patients will tell us that the procedures are painless, but everyone's pain tolerance is different. Some describe the procedure as simple pressure, some as being snapped by a rubber band or a slight sting and others claim no pain at all. It is our goal to make the treatment a positive, safe and effective experience to have you back in action as quickly as possible.
Your Doctor can best answer this question at your consultation. It will depend on the condition that is being treated.
In most cases 15 to 30 minutes.
The treatment has proven to be safe and easy, we encourage you to stop pain medications, including over the counter pain medications, Eight (8) hours in advance. Stop blood thinners 48 hours in advance. Please discuss this with the prescribing Doctor prior to discontinuing blood thinners to be sure it is safe for you to do so. You will want to have a light snack before the treatment. Eating before the procedure can reduce a drop in blood sugar to which some people may experience due to fear.

Having sat in the sunshine at a table outside the very pleasant Coach House tearoom in Tissington (on holiday) Penny and I decided to look at the parish church that stood grandly opposite us.
What a treasure of history! The Norman door has crude carvings above it depicting figures in strange garb. I hope my photograph gives you an idea. I looked at the stained glass window showing Noah's Ark, and I scrutinised the sides of the baptismal font with their ancient carvings. The window frames are carved with decoration.
What I did not see (only read about it later) were the grooves in the sides of the door from where men and boys sharpened their arrow tips. During the reign of King Edward III in 1663 there were several attempt by parliament to encourage archery among the people, for the Black Death had depleted the number of skilled bowmen in the country. Every Englishman was ordered to own a bow of his own height, kept ready for use, and to provide one for his son. All boys were told to practice shooting with the bow on Sunday afternoons on the south side of the church. Hence the grooves on the door posts.
The overall impression that struck me as I looked around this church though, was the sense that we have lost so much.
Church may be growing again in the UK and I am delighted to be part of a congregation in York that has experienced growth. But these many country churches show that faith at one time completely covered the land. Some people were motivated by simply superstition, others by social convention. But there was still great and widespread faith, faith and a knowledge of God that shaped lives and society, gave joy in hardship and endurance in times of need. We have lost so much.
If we see the revival that many of us pray for, I think the best 'wineskin' to contain this outpouring will be the Church of England. I may despair over their lack of proclamation, and the reluctance to speak clearly on the ancient truths, but the Anglican have a branch in every town of village. If these chutches again became houses of prayer and faith it would transform out land,

Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!
Challenge #193
Winter Fun
Create a winter inspired project
Create a winter inspired project
This Weeks Sponsor
I decided to create a layout for this challenge. I'm a bit behind with my layouts and am hoping to get caught up sooner rather than later. :-) This layout is of a trip my sweetie and I took last winter when we went snowboarding at Winter Park with my brother and his family.
I used pattern papers from a Paper Studio pad I've had for quite a while. The letters for my title were cut from the Lyrical Letters cartridge. I cut some snowflakes from the Christmas cartridge and covered them in some coarse glitter.
I love getting as many pictures as I can on my layouts, and there's 12 on these two pages! There's even a little room on the solid blue square on the right page for my journaling.
Please visit the FCCB blog to see the other DT member projects and join in the challenge! Remember, to qualify for the prize, you must use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project (be sure to tell us which one you used!)
Solid cardstock from Bazzill
Pattern paper from The Paper Studio

You should read the paper. It's good. It is not difficult to read. Graphs are included which show extremely rare types of coins from ancient Syria are on the market in greater numbers since around the start of the Syrian conflict. Mostly likely all kinds of ancient Syrian coins are on the market in larger numbers.
At the same event, Deputy US Secretary of State Tony Blinken announced a US$ 5,000,000 bounty for disrupting ISIL's antiquities trade.
Personally I suspect many of the antiquities come from the private collections of four million Syrian refugees, used as bribes to escape Syria, rather than a few ISIS looters. Yet it doesn't matter what I speculate. Dr. Wartenberg Kagan apparently shared the stage with the general counsel of the auction house Christie's and eBay's head of global regulatory policy. I suspect change is coming to the ancient coin market. What kind of change should we expect?
Germany is considering a law that will make it illegal to see ancient coins worth more than $100 without twenty years of provenance. Companies are free to go further than the law requires. eBay doesn't allow any Cuban coins to be sold on eBay, even ones that left Cuba before Castro's revolution cannot be offered on the site. My fear is that folks who are looking for something, anything, to do are seeing few options besides these kind of blanket bans.
Dr. Wartenberg's paper points out in a footnote that the American Numismatic Society rejects gifts of ancient coins from eBay and other online sites that have have no permanent record of their sales, unless older provenance is available. This has an important financial consequence, as such gifts would have been tax deductible.
Viewed as a purely technical problem, it wouldn't be difficult to create a permanent record of coin sales. A simple way would be create a printable report of newly offered coins, 20 coins to a letter or A4 side of paper. That's 40 coins on a double-sided page. VCoins.com currently offers 140,262 ancient coins, so that means 3500 pages or a nice 10 volume set of 350 page volumes. For perhaps $1000 the entire site, 140k coins, could be printed on demand and with copies sent to the the ANS in New York, the British Museum, and perhaps Paris, Berlin, Athens or Jerusalem. The receiving librarians stamp and catalog the books when they arrive, creating a permanent, personalized, physical record.
Such a record would be very good for resolving future, but not current, legal disputes. The obvious choice is to have sales portals voluntarily do this, but of course anyone with $1000 and HTML skills could do it, perhaps anonymously of copyright concern on sales text was an issue.
Of course, a permanent record isn't going to have a direct effect on the problems of smuggling. Printing out sale and auction catalogs in editions of five has the nice property of making low quality provenance available to collectors for less than one US cent per coin, generating data for future scholars, and making it harder to launder conflict antiquities with established antiquities.
Recently National Geographic ran an amazing cover story about a phony elephant tusk containing a GPS tracker. The mock tuck was acquired by a smuggler, and spent the spring of 2015 reporting on the smuggler's route across Africa.
Ancient coins are too small to hold the batteries needed for GPS trackers. I suspect the smuggling routes for conflict antiquities could be mapped in a different way. Unlike ivory, which is usually carved before being sold, coins get no more than a bit of cleaning. There is no reason anyone couldn't photograph 100 ancient coins and just leave them out near recent digging activity. A few years later photographs of dropped coins could be released publicly, with a contest to find them online. This technique would establish entry and exit points of the smuggling. If a government were interested, subpoenas could then be deployed to explore the route more fully.
I don't think this kind of mapping would be enough to earn the reward Deputy Secretary Blinken mentioned. It might be enough to get a cover story in the major numismatic publications.

* TSX finishes down 1.61 percent at 11,053.54
* Banks headline selloff, fall for third straight session
* Kinross drops on lower output forecast (Adds details and comments)
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index fell sharply on Tuesday, weighed down by shares of banks and insurers, which dropped for a third straight session, and by miner Kinross Gold (K.TO), which cut its production forecast.
Banking and insurance shares were the heaviest drag on the index, with all five big banks and two big insurers among the top decliners.
The fall was led by Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), which declined 3.5 percent to C$53.70, followed by Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO), down 3.6 percent at C$62.17.
Kinross shares ended down 6.24 percent at C$20.30 after the company lowered its full-year 2009 production outlook and raised its estimate for average cost of sales. [ID:nN27230566]
Other gold miners joined the selloff, partly because of a U.S. dollar bounce higher, which tends to draw attention away from alternative investments such as gold. Goldcorp (G.TO) shares were off 2 percent at C$40.12, and Eldorado Gold (ELD.TO) fell 2.9 percent to C$11.84.
The energy group was unable to hold on to gains even as the price of oil edged above $79 a barrel. Suncor (SU.TO) fell 1.6 percent to C$37.01.
"Energy, materials, financials ... are still good areas, it's just they went up a bit too quickly," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier. "We'll eventually come back but we need a bit of a respite."
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE finished down 181.34 points, or 1.61 percent, at 11,053.54.
A disappointing U.S. consumer confidence report for October also weighed on market sentiment. Without sufficient consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the U.S. economy, the already fragile recovery could weaken. The Conference Board's U.S. consumer confidence index fell to its lowest level since July and was well below forecasts. [ID:nN27236301]

West Sussex County Council's Rowans specialist day service is set to open its doors this month to people in Worthing.
Carers and people from the local area will be able to look around the centre on May 24 from 9am to 4pm to see what is on offer.
The Rowans specialises in services for people with and physical and sensory impairment and people with acquired brain injuries (A.B.I) and also supports other people with complex or longer-term needs who meet the County Council's eligibility criteria. In addition it offers support and information to their carers.
The Rowans offers a range of services such as activities, personal care, advice and information as well as a mobility suite and a gym. It also welcomes local people to be involved in the centre through volunteering opportunities.
It is one of eight specialist day centres that were developed by the County Council following the decision last year to move away from a one-size fits all day care service into a specialist focussed provision.
Among those who have been helped at the Rowans is Alan who came to the service through the A.B.I. group and has moved on to voluntary work with Sussex University and helping other customers at the centre.
Another customer supported by the centre and the community connector was Susan who had suffered a stroke and now has poor mobility.
Staff helped rehouse her into a small disabled-friendly bungalow, which has improved her quality of life and independence.
Family and friends have said she is like a new person, particularly because she now has a pet cat.
Peter Catchpole, Cabinet Member for Health and Adults' Services, said: "We have worked very hard to develop the service at The Rowans for local people to access. We want to support customers to help them find a level of independence despite their complex needs."
People interested in visiting the centre should contact the Manager first.
The Rowans is in Steeple View, Tarring, West Worthing, West Sussex.
Phone: 01903 218022.

I'm sorry I have to share this story with you, but it's just too weird not to share.
Alternadudes is a gay porn studio that's proud to present gay porn that isn't just the regular vanilla stuff. Normally, that's fine, but they may have gone too far with this latest video.
In a video called "A Brony And His Ponies," porn actor Dashie Chance is recorded inserting himself (and doing the reverse) into "My Little Pony" toys.
As Alternadudes puts it:
"Dashie is one hot dude."
"He's a scruffy, shaggy Brony who isn't afraid to admit his love for the pony culture. He also likes all things furry and enjoys hanging out at the bar and watching movies."
"Dashie starts out slow in his Brony gear and slowly progresses to the point where he's buck naked."
"He whips out his big, smooth cock and plays with his giant shaved sack until he's rock hard and ready for more."
"He's not just satisfied with his hand, so he hops on his stuffed unicorn and humps away."
If you want to check out the NSFW images from the video's recording, head over to Str8UpGayPorn (Site VERY NSFW).
There, commenters have shared their shock and disgust at the scene.
"Everyday we stray further away from god."
"Poor L'il Sebastian. He deserved so much better," someone joked.
"What in the meth lab, sugar rush, to catch a predator nightmare kinda shit is this," said another commentor.
"Poor L'il Sebastian. He deserved so much better."
"This makes my eyes hurt."
And one commentor even had a valid question about copyrighting:
"Do copyright issues come into play for something like this since they actually used trademarked my little pony items?"
Now we know kink shaming is wrong, but didn't this video go too far? What do you think?

How Fire Gutted Access Bank, ATMs In Lagos
Activities at the Ikotun branch of Access Bank was halted after a fire gutted the building.
The fire sparked off around 4pm from a faulty air conditioner at the gallery and spread to the machines.
The fire reportedly raged for about three hours before it was put out by officials of the Lagos State Fire Service mobilised to the bank.
The fire service director, Rasaq Fadipe, who confirmed the incident, said two fire trucks were deployed in the area.
He said his men were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the other parts of the bank.
"The fire affected the batteries and inverters of the ATMs, numbering about six. The place was heavily smoke-logged and we had to use a forklift and other apparatus to gain access to put out the fire. The batteries are about 200 voltages each," he said.
An official of Access Bank, said the fire emanated from a malfunctioning AC in the gallery.
He, however, added that the ATM vaults, containing cash, were not affected by the inferno.

Its Head Came Off By Accident
The book, Its Head Came Off By Accident by Muffy Mead-Ferro is a memoir. If you click on the title, it will take you to a write up. If you click on Muffy's name, it will take you to Amazon.
Let me preface things a little.
Muffy and I don't know each other although we attended the same classes at the same university and have the same major. We were strangers. I worked with her brother distantly on some cases when he was a US Attorney. But... I followed her mother, Mary Mead, a Republican, in politics. I am very familiar with the family ranches she writes about growing up on. I voted for Mary Mead. I also voted for her son, Matt Mead, the current governor. On a side note, I don't always agree with what he does and sometimes I get downright mad. I know he as a person tries to do what he thinks is right, but is influenced by outside forces. I will say no more about that.
Now that makes us close to family, right?
Ha. Anyway, I think Mary was defeated because she was a woman. I don't have anything negative to say about Sullivan, but I think that the people of the Republican Wyoming state did not quite embrace a woman as governor back then....even though it was 1990. Need I say more about progress.
Mary Mead died while on her ranch, working, and by a horse accident. I was greatly saddened back then. I remember hearing it on the radio first. It wasn't the voice of Walter Cronkite, of course, but the voice I remember told it as devastatingly as Walter Cronkite would have. Only it was the radio. I probably know the person who aired it first, but it doesn't come to mind.
She was the last of her kind, a tough pioneer lady. So with her death, came the loss of an era.
As you can imagine then... instantly, I felt I had to read this. Besides, my mom has good taste in books.
First, I must warn you, there is no plot...it's a memoir. Life is plot enough. It is also slow moving in some parts.
However, it is intelligently written and endearing.
It's funny how we relate to persons or characters when we read. Muffy describes things about the lands of Wyoming and her family held them as dear as I do. Ranching is a way of life, not a job. And the majesty of the land was too much to behold on some days. We also respected it.
Now her life in no way parallels mine except our parent (her mother and my father) both died young and we grew up on ranches in Wyoming on the same side of the state. However, Farson does not look like Jackson in any way. Nor is it near as valuable. Albeit, she grew up on legendary ground of many prime acres and I grew up on a nice plot.
I even teared up when she talked about Mary's death.
She really brought home the times we grew up and the era of the last American cowboy. Her family members were well off and politically famous. One even an ad star for cigarettes. But, I felt it contained compassion and love for the land, but lacked emotion when she wrote about her family. In fact, it seemed at times the family were distant with one another and mostly referred to each other as business partners. Maybe she was trying to be matter of fact in the history. I don't know.
Despite the downers I shared, It was well worth the read and very interesting. I enjoyed it. If you like western stories and want to know more about political history and the insides of a family, I suggest you get a copy.

I will definitely get a copy, although it will collect dust before I get through the stack of books waiting to be read. I agree that you and I might be twins, if not genetically maybe cosmically. I love to read memoirs of diverse people. Not so much celebrities writing books because the adoring fans need to immerse themselves in all the details...but the memoirs of people that came up through life and have interesting stories.
I also, agree that a story does not have to be over the top adventuresome or be a highly structured thrill-a-minute, bigger than life bios. I would be far more interested a real life that has ups and downs....the types of wins and losses that make most of our lives as unique as our fingerprints.
I, lost my mother at 7 in a bizarre twist and it changed me in significant ways. I try to always acknowledge that EVERYONE has a story and most we will never have any insight to the story that goes with each individual. It's nice to read a good memoir every now and then that we can connect to in some way even if there is little or no apparent common ground.

You made this book sound quite intriguing.
Then again, you have a keen way with words (blue or any other color...lol)
I love the one phrase that I MUST get a sign for:
Ain't THAT the truth!
Good post.
Roll safe and stay dry down there, dear.

The U.S. soybean industry exports more than half of its annual production. Without these exports – valued most recently at $16 billion – fewer profit opportunities would exist for U.S. soybean farmers. To help ensure these export markets, it's important to give international customers what they demand.
"International purchasers ask for a 'preview' of the U.S. soybean crop before they start purchasing new-crop soybeans each year," says Seth Naeve, University of Minnesota Extension soybean agronomist. "Buyers want general information about the overall U.S. crop and how it will compare with soybeans from other countries."
U.S. soybean farmers can help demonstrate the quality of U.S. soy by sending in a sample of their new crop soybeans. About 10,000 soybean farmers will receive kits by mail. Others can request a sample kit directly by contacting Naeve at email@example.com or by phone at 612-625-5772. In exchange for a sample, farmers will receive a free analysis of the protein and oil content of the new-crop soybeans they submit.
"Soybean farmers can use this information to evaluate their choices of varieties and their production practices," says Naeve. "The easiest way for farmers to improve the quality of their own soybean crop is to choose high-yielding varieties that also possess above-average protein and oil concentrations."
Value of protein and oil
The soybean checkoff has supported the annual U.S. Soybean Quality Survey since 1986. Coordinated by the U.S. Soybean Export Council, the checkoff's primary contractor hired to increase U.S. soy sales, the survey measures protein, oil, seed size and foreign material in the most commonly grown soybeans produced in the U.S. Researchers analyze these values to provide U.S., region and state quality averages. In addition, they provide detailed maps showing how soybean quality varies within the U.S. and how this variation differs from year to year.
The levels of protein and oil in U.S. soybeans determine how much soybean meal can be processed and how much soybean oil can be extracted from a bushel of U.S. soybeans.
"Protein and oil represent the two valuable components of the soybean," says Naeve. "The concentrations of these constituents are directly related to the value to soybean crushers."
Each soybean sample kit comes with a heavyweight zip-top bag. It allows soybean farmers to take up to a 1-lb. sample from a single soybean variety on their farm. The kit also contains instructions and a postage-paid return envelope. Farmers should simply insert the zip top bag containing new-crop soybeans in the envelope and can drop it into any mailbox.
Samples received by Oct. 23 will serve as the basis for the 2010 U.S. Soybean Crop Quality report and Quality Conferences presented in China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. Samples received after Oct. 23 will be included in the final report completed by Jan. 1, 2011.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Two men accused of stealing nearly three tons of stainless steel from a building at the University of Michigan are headed to trial.
Forty-year-old Linden Vann of Wayne and 21-year-old Matthew Reusch of Westland both waived a preliminary hearing on Wednesday and were arraigned in Washtenaw County Trial Court. Both men pleaded not guilty to larceny charges.
Police say the men stole 11 large pieces of steel weighing about 5,900 lbs. on two separate occasions last month. The metal was being used for a research project involving the U.S. Navy. Messages seeking comment were left for defense attorneys for the two men.
A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 30.

A multilayered tale of a writer who's trying to make more than just a buck.
He's a man of many faces: T.R.L. Pangstrom, author of the Whoremasters of Zorg sci-fi/porn series; J. Duke Johnson, creator of inner-city private eye Mordechai Jones; and Sibylline Lorindo-Gold, the force behind the Crimson vampire series, beloved of goth bloggers coast to coast. Back home in Queens, though, he's just Harry Bloch, a hack writer who longs for some of the eminence his ex-girlfriend Jane's new husband has achieved as editor of Brooklyn literary journal The Torn Plaid Coat. Just when it looks as if Harry's career has skidded to the brink—he's reduced to forging term papers for brilliant, bored 15-year-old preppie Claire Hall—he gets a letter from serial killer Darian Clay, who knows Harry as Tom (The Slut Whisperer) Stanks from Raunchy magazine. Clay wants someone to ghost his memoirs—a potential gold mine, Claire sagely points out, and his ticket to the world of nonserial literature. So Harry confers with Clay's attorney, Carol Flosky, and next thing you know he's on a train upstate to meet the death-row inmate. But working with mass murderers is never easy, and pretty soon Harry is in deeper peril than his half-vampire heroine Sasha finds in the castle of Count Aram.
Not the best-wrought mystery in the world, but a tour de force debut that provides too much fun for readers to carp.

Sepp the seahorse spend his childhood on his granddad's sea cow ranch. He was very talented in riding sea cows and started a career as rodeo star soon. On a rodeo world tour Sepp stopped in Texas, where he was told, that every proper horse wears horseshoes. He couldn't find out what these could be good for and threw them away. Thus Sepp invented the horseshoe pitching sport.
Later on his journey he met a stunning young mare. After a romantic night, she stole his heart, but left an egg that Sepp cared lovingly from then on. When his belly was getting bigger, he decided to leave the rodeo to settle down.
In the moment Sepp's baby was hatched, he found his true calling as a kindergarten teacher. (Whereby his first career as a tamer of wild manatees was very useful.) Now he's teaching the young ones, how to hide in a kelp forest, how to unravel sailors knots from their tails and how to crochet spirals in a spiral

The sci-fi venture is made by the same director mentioned above. With a screenplay by Jon Spaihts (2011's The Darkest Hour) and Damon Lindelof (Lost TV series writer). Alien was written by the late Dan O'Bannon and it's a mournful that he is no longer with the desolate H-wood industry. But the designs were influenced by still-alive H.R. Giger who is the creator of the original Alien treatment. This time around Arthur Max led the production design and in respect to this era, he has outdone himself. Max has won two Academy Awards for Gladiator and American Gangster.
Scott's latest feature is brilliant. The plot is far from simple: a group of explorers must find the clues to the beginning of mankind in the darkest corners of the universe. Set in the late 21st century Prometheus delivers what the trailer promises.
Furthermore, the acting is better than included in Serenity. Believe me the only good point of Whedon's first feature-film was the role-playing. The thespians in Prometheus showed their full acting prowess. If this were a Broadway play it would've won hearts by the cast alone. Michael Fassbender has already garnered universal critical/commercial acclaim for his role as a cyborg - wonder if he actually is one. Fassbender is a fine actor acting such charisma in movies where there was non (X-Men: First Class, Haywire). My fav. critic Roger Ebert commented that Idris Elba (Thor, Ghost Rider 2) acted the best. I rate Fassbender above all but all are worth mentioning. Noomi Rapace (Sherlock Holmes 2) showed immense female impact in her performance and Charlize Theron showed why her comeback matters. Logan Marshall-Green did well too for a largely unknown actor. And I just have to concur that the dreary scenery was out of this world.
Scott is perfect at timing. Action and horror scenes occur when least expected. Also, they really get to you. The moods of the characters complement well with the type of scenes depicted. Conversation is 2nd best to Marvel's The Avengers. Characterisation is top-notch and applause to the writers for no stereotyping.
However, there are notable cons. Unlike Alien, the film is not intended for every R-rated viewer. To be blunt, Prometheus is slow in the beginning and in most parts of its entire running time. Alien also had the same features like horror, action and suspense in one. But Prometheus being more of an exploration film doe snot fully extend the adrenaline rush like Scott's legend. Though it does lure the audience into the suspenseful world of the filmmaker but it should'be spent more time exploiting the dark areas in thriller-mode. So Prometheus is not a thriller/mystery for everybody like Inception or the two Sherlock Holmes features. It is more of Nolan's The Prestige and to some extend Shutter Island (not a recommendation).
Prometheus' earnings have been mentioned in my earlier post. And they are about my estimates. Though it should've done better financially speaking. Watchers with a high threshold for slow thrillers should definitely check this out.
The following justifies its outlook to every type of theatre-goer. Prometheus classifies as a sci-fi mystery in contrast to sci-fi thriller (Alien), or sci-fi horror (The Thing, 1982 of course).
BO101 sci-fi rank: 3rd after The Thing 1982 and Alien.
