That's right. U2: Rattle & Hum just started on INHD as I type this. So awesome. I miss the old U2. Why did they have to turn all sucky. Such a shame.
Anyway, the picture to the left is of my niece eating chocolate ice cream. So cute.

Olivia becomes our sister.
This weekend was the event I've been waiting for since I found out I was pregnant. Olivia is now numbered among the saints in Heaven!
It was a beautiful service at our church, Hope Lutheran. Many of our friends attended, and most of our family was there as well. It was a great opportunity to show our old friends what our new church was all about. I don't know if we've won any converts (hehe), but it was good to share our joy with the people we love. Both the joy of witnessing Olivia's receiving the gift of faith, and the joy of hearing the Law and Gospel preached clearly, and with love.
Rob and I managed not to argue about who got to hold Olivia during the baptism. I just let him, even though I wanted to do it, but it makes more sense that the father would, since he's the head of our family. I just made sure I was the one holding her when we went to the altar for communion. This is ridiculous, I know, that I put so much thought in to something so small, but I'm weird what can I say?
Olivia was perfectly asleep when we went up to the fount, and the sacrament began. Rob and I both got a little teary when Pastor Kozak prayed the Lord's Prayer with his hand on her forehead. It was a beautiful reminder of all that God has for his children. He provides our daily bread, and forgiveness, and even the faith we need to love Him.
Then came the promise of Olivia's godparents, Andy and Ellie (that's the couple standing to the right in our picture, Mr. Swede), that they would help to raise our baby up in faith in God. This was also emotional because of how much we love and trust our good friends, and now our Olivia can trust in them as well.
Next, our congregation repeated the order of baptism with us. This was especially moving for me since my family doesn't attend a church. Pastor Kozak reminded us that this is the time that we remember our own baptisms. All of my family has been baptized, and I prayed that they would be pierced with the thought that God had bestowed grace upon them, too.
Then, Pastor poured the water over Olivia's head, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Olivia woke up, and I got nervous that this was when she screams at the top of her lungs. Nope, not our little sinner. She just smiled sleepily, and went back to sleep. She just wanted to be sure she didn't miss the moment.
We then had a small cake reception in the church basement for our guests and the Pastor's family. It was good because anyone who had questions had the opportunity to ask them, and out pastor was available to answer them if need be. We got a lot of, "It's different," and, "I liked it." We even got a, "I was listening to your pastor speak and it sounds a lot like when you and Rob speak."
To which I responded, "If you go to any good Lutheran church we all sound like this." (You'll be proud Pastor Kozak, we sound like you! You're doing an excellent job.)
Then as people were getting ready to leave, Olivia barfed on her beautiful dress and we changed her into her little duck suit. Regular Olivia fashion!

I can't wait to see the finished drawing..your"re such a talented gal. I will be out on the 29th thinking of your feisty steer and keeping an eye out for his miraculous leap! Xoxo AuntDeb
Moon Jumper
Sometimes I'm called on to help with the various bull calf/steer duties. Usually this occurs at times inconvenient to my schedule. Poor me. Get over and on with it. It's the least I can do to help out around here, though I wish I were better at it. But yesterday I provided a one-cent advisory while helping to feed some new bull calves that tip-toed in on their wobbly, spindle legs. One little guy seemed particularly rambunctious and I mentioned to Pete that this one looked like a jumper. By that I meant he was ready to leap out of his pen. I know it happens though I've never been around to actually witness that leap to freedom. And I really can't figure out how they manage to do it without having a good running start. But this one had it written all over him, "I'm gonna jump when you're not looking". Point taken, farmer notified. So after the calves were fed, I left to get on with whatever I was doing. Later that day Pete told me that one of the calves jumped out twice. And yes, it was our little, rambunctious one. It makes me proud. The feisty, little guy is a moon-jumper in training. Now I know that historically it is only cows that jump over the moon, but steers can have their moon-jumping fun too or so I'd like to imagine.
A crisp, autumn night is perfect for moon-jump training so I encouraged all the new calves to give it a shot. Bowzer B. Dawg won't stop them. In fact, I think he'd sit by and watch, because that's pretty much what he does anyway. That being said, I have a new rough sketch in the works for my next drawing that pulls from that thought. Except as always, the drawing takes its course and the calf has its own agenda. In an effort not to give it all away at once, here are just a couple of details of the sketchy sketch:
Tonight is the first quarter moon, you may see some training jumps. But remember, the Full Harvest moon is September 29th, 11:19PM EST. Look to the sky in support of your local Moon-Jumpers, and leave the gate open.

I have always known I had gifts. They came to me just like the last 4 generations of women in my family. My grandmother read playing cards for many years. My mother, skilled spirit work. She received messages from many who passed on and my grandmother after passing aided her in her channeling as well. Since as far back as I can remember, I've received messages via channeling. I recall as far back as second grade, having dreams that later manifested. As I grew older, I was able to recall these dreams and change the outcome of a situation I was in. I see things in the Tarot and Runes beyond the images on the cards. This sight comes deep within my intuition. My Ancestors, Angeles and Guides aid me. I am empathic; able to strongly, energetically connect to people and their higher selves. I have a deep inner knowing of how situations are or will be. I help people gain insite in their daily and spiritual lives. I want to help you find the answers you seek and to know what you path hold in store for you. My compassion and desire to help people and share the messages given to me. Each persons situation is important to them and because if this it is important to me. I want you to receive what you need and want to know.
I've been reading and interpreting dreams for 27 years. Each type of tool, Tarots, Runes, Playing cards, all give images that stand out to focus upon your situation. I take those images and intuitively decipher meaning by what the either spiritually or mundanely represent. I use a lot of Playing Cards or Minor Arcana Tarot for daily "life" situations....money, career and love etc. I am versed in Tarot for those needing Spiritual insight and direction. Ive experience in clarifing the deeper meaning of readings and how to best utilize the information given. I have developed my own system for incorporating Numerology in my readings, that most dont. I can tell you how you Astrological signs affect current situations. I have been balancing and healing chakras for 15 years. Creating a aligned spiritual and physical balance for those needing healing. My very first set of Runes I created the old ways...carving then out of wood and bonding with the energies of the act. This bond that happens with my tools and guides has gained strength through consistant use and blessings from those guides aiding me. I have EXTENSIVE skill in interpreting dreams. Im able to quicky access if a dream is based off current issues or if there are messages from you guides or ancestors. Both of which help you understand the messages you need to hear. My Oracle work allows me to give positive messages from higher beings to help you reach a better you. I work with Angel, Crystal, Animal, and Buddhist inspiration Oracle decks....all give me wisdom and enlightenmentI want to share with you Namaste

Santa Barbara Electric Shuttles
Santa Barbara is great place for getting the opportunity to travel around their beautiful city via a public bus network that is about 1/2 electric or hybrid. The city was one of the first to add electric buses to their city fleet in the USA.
It is wonderful to be able to see Santa Barbara by riding up and down State Street and along the waterfront in a comfortable, open-air, quiet, electric shuttle.
MTD Santa Barbara currently operates only 20 Electric and 18 Hybrid vehicles, the other half of their fleet uses diesel power. Their first battery powered electric shuttles were acquired between 1991-1994. In the year 2000 MDT Santa Barbara picked up another 13 battery powered Ebus Electric Shuttles.
The Crosstown and Downtown-Waterfront Electric Shuttles operate in partnership with the City of Santa Barbara. MTD's Downtown & Waterfront Shuttles are sponsored by the City of Santa Barbara to provide frequent shuttle service along busy State Street and the Waterfront area. Transfers are required for connecting between the Downtown and Waterfront shuttles. As you board your first shuttle, ask the driver for a FREE shuttle transfer. Shuttle transfers are not valid on other MTD routes.
Fares are 50 cents to ride the shuttle make sure you have exact change. Shuttles run until 6 PM year-round, and until 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Santa Barbara gets high marks for their public bus system and their commitment to the environment for deploying electric and hybrid buses. However, they same can not be said for Santa Barbara's city council deciding to gouge EV drivers $5 an hour to charge their electric cars while in the city.

Agreed, I am always trying to remind myself to be more positive, focus on better choices and stop the negative self talk. It's an uphill battle!
Is how you talk about dieting sabotaging your weight loss?
I can't get through a day without being asked – are you allowed to eat this or that. My response is always the same: there is nothing I am not allowed to eat, there are many things I choose not to eat, because I am a grown up.
It's the language of dieting that is driving me potty and I have no doubt that the way we talk about how we are eating – the negative words and phrases we use, must be negatively affecting the outcome. In short – is how you talk about dieting sabotaging your weight loss?
The problem with the words "healthy eating" and "healthy foods" is that we can have varying degrees of what we mean by healthy. To a friend of mine, her very low-fat, low sugar white bread thins are perfect "healthy foods". To me, that shit just turns to glucose and bang, we're wearing bigger jeans again. She attends a slimming group. Our ideas of what is "healthy" – differ somewhat.
To me, the dieting groups such as Weight Watchers and Slimming World use bizarre language. At Weight Watchers there is point counting. The points system does nothing but encourage the wrong food choices by saying it's OK, you just have a certain number of points a day, so you go ahead and eat those Mars Bars as long as you don't eat anything else or, wait for it, do some exercise. More on that fallacy later.
Then there's the Slimming World syn, cyn or sin. However you might spell it and whatever it might mean or represent, you still say the word sin. So, when you eat certain foods you are committing a sin. You are being bad. You are letting yourself down. This is such self-destructive and unhelpful language.
What you are allowed, what points you have accrued, what sins you have committed, all of these are so negative. The language of dieting does nothing but feed the negativity and after we stop with the diet, and inevitably put on weight, we go back for more. Well that's how they make their money I suppose…making you feel bad and then bringing you back for more.
We've got to get past this language barrier.

It isn't made easy when the support groups are using such negative language themselves. Good job we're all so positive and upbeat on Instagram! Ha ha.

Lupe Fiasco "The Show Goes On" from Lazers
Lupe Fiasco hasn't kicked, pushed in a minute, but alas, "The Show Goes On" is the first official single from his (highly?) anticipated new album, Lasers. The track which plays on the lyrics of Modest Mouse's "Float On" ('Alright, already and we all float on") is catchy–if only because it reminds listeners of that great song. Lupe has put together some great pop gems, lastly notable "Superstar," but I'm always bothered by the critique a friend of mine once had of him. He doesn't always rap on beat. Occasionally it sounds like he's a 1/8 beat fast on the off beat, or just showing off his Chicago fast rhyme (ala Twista) without keeping in mind where the beat drops. Either way this track will surely be a crowd pleaser, if only because of the production of Kane Beatz. Lasers is set to be released March 8th, 2011.

New Cake Toppers/
I realized the other day that I have been so busy with the blog and other things, I've completely neglected my poor Etsy shop! I haven't listed any new pieces in quite some time. I've made new items to sell at Orange, but failed to keep my own little shop up to date.
So, this week I've been busy make new items to sell in both Orange and the Etsy shop. I've been trying to come up with some creative ideas and have a little more fun with it. I guess I fell into a bit of a rut for a bit, but I've had a fresh wave of inspiration and come up with some stuff that I think you'll like! Here are some of the new goodies you will soon find available in both! If you're a local, stop in at Orange on Cary St., and if you're not, stop by my online shop! If you have any questions, suggestions, or would like a custom order, feel free to comment or email!

A rubber ducky in a sink apparently isn't Nintendo's style, but that doesn't mean the company didn't show off its very own brand of next-generation "technical demo" August 24. Master game designer and aspiring god Shigeru Miyamoto took center stage at Nintendo's pre-Spaceworld press event yesterday afternoon and rolled the gaming press through Mario 128. The demo basically opened up a flat 3D plane at which time Miyamoto began pouring dozens upon dozens of 700-poly Mario models, ultimately totaling 128 moving plumbers on-screen at once.
We've written all about the impressive display in another article which can be found on the site. The purpose of this piece is not to regurgitate what we've already written, but rather to let you see it all for yourself. To this end IGNcube has provided the entire Mario 128 demo spread across six download friendly movies. Simply click below and enjoy.

text: CreativityCitgo striking lowest blow among oil giantsBy Adweek Blogs|July 3, 2008ShareBy Adweek Blogs|July 3, 2008Share One of the ironies of the high-gas-price period is the dwindling ad spending among top gasoline retailers. With the exception of Chevron, they're all spending less now than in recent years, doubtless to keep a low profile when their commercials likely prompt middle-finger salutes. ("Special additives, my ass!") But Citgo is continuing a campaign of Marxist propaganda even more reprehensible than the supposed "greenwashing" led by BP. It's been a while since an American agency has been asked to front for a fascist dictator (Hollywood and the American left carried water for Il Duce, but he was mostly selling himself), but Citgo is running more ads mentioning its free heating oil giveaway. The spots never acknowledge that the source of the bribe is Hugo Chavez, whose Petroleos de Venezuela bought half of Citgo in 1986 and the rest in 1990. Compounding the insult is the tagline: "Your locally owned Citgo, there at every turn"—lest any consumer feel compunction about fueling third-world repression with their fill-ups.—Posted by Gregory Solman Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kSfqIX copy Adweek Adweek

Diagonal is the heart, the core, the center. The avenue that cuts Eixample neighbourghood and divides the city into two parts; in the north, Sarria, Gracia, Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Sant Adrià; in the south, Les Corts, Sant Martí, Poble Sec, Sants... Ten miles long through a city of neighborhoods, stories and big and small moments.
Today, in late 2014, one of its most central parts is being remodeled (the segment located between Balmes Street and Passeig de Gràcia); new times require the Centennial Avenue to suit the purposes of the inhabitants and visitors of the city; especially with regard to the width of sidewalks and bike lanes, strongly criticized since its construction due to the inefficiency of its path.
His tour was designed through Eixample to reach the Plaza de las Glories Catalanes (which, today, is Glories) near Gran Via.
What awaits the visitor along more than five miles of the Avenue? Owls, malls, monuments, landmark buildings and much more; but only for anyone who dares to cross the avenue from end to end, or decide to choose certain sections of it to be stored in the retina. Perhaps the best known Diagonal is the most central; Diagonal of huge Signs Roura owl in Verdaguer square watching the place from above, already without its neon advertising and recalling a city that was lost in the late sixties.
At the Casa de les Punxes something similar happens; witness of Modernist Barcelona at the beginning of the century, now recalls the Catalan architecture attempt to return to origins, like other exponents like Bellesguard tower or Hospital de Sant Pau.
Along Avenida Diagonal you will find malls, where we visit three of the main buildings of the Corte Inglés and other fashion chains, entertainment and dining areas as l'Illa Diagonal or Diagonal Mar. Los Tres Molinos, the building of Grupo Planeta, the Rey Juan Carlos I Hotel and the Royal Palace of Pedralbes, first; Serra House, Casa de les Punxes or Agbar Tower, on the other side. All of them exponents of a story that remember other figures and periods.
Diagonal Avenue is a historical, commercial and business hub since its construction, and for the atmosphere that it breathes it appears that visitors and citizens will continue walking and enjoying it for a hundred and fifty years, at least.

Faster Nexus Updates! September 2015 OTA Links
Back in August, Google and other ODMs made some strong commitments to start pushing out security updates more quickly and more often. The very first 30-day period following this event just occurred and we saw what we'd hoped. Google released Nexus updates right on time. Further, the Android security team started releasing public bulletins too! You can see their August and September bulletins at their respective locations. On the ODM side, we have seen improvements but many ODMs and carriers seem to be struggling. It's still early though, so the jury is still out. I'm sure they are all working very hard to make the necessary process improvements to meet the 30-day patch cycle.
That brings me to my next point. I don't believe security conscious people should have to compete in some random chance lottery to update their devices. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of a subscription-based or invite-only early access program for updates. I think getting fresh updates into the hands of the most savvy users would pay dividends. Even without such programs, I'm pleased to be able to assist everyone in updating their devices without having to wait for your number to come up. We'll try to do this more in the future, time permitting of course.
So… In the spirit of empowering all of you, I present the OTA links you all know and love. Sorry I didn't find the time to execute on this project sooner.
Anyway, enjoy!
OTA Update URLs for Currently Supported Nexus Devices
Nexus 6 (Global) LMY48M from LMY48I
Nexus 6 (T-Mobile) LYZ28K from LYZ28J
Nexus 6 (Project Fi) LVY48F from LVY48E
Nexus Player LMY48N from LMY48J
Nexus 9 (LTE) LMY48M from LMY48I
Nexus 9 (Wi-Fi) LMY48M from LMY48I
Nexus 5 (GSM/LTE) LMY48M from LMY48I
Nexus 7 2013 (Wi-Fi) LMY48M from LMY48I
NOTE: Appears to be a two-stage update. It's not clear why, maybe you know or want to look into it =)
Nexus 7 2013 (Mobile) LMY48L from LMY47V and LMY48P from LMY48L
Nexus 10 LMY48M from LMY48I
Nexus 4 LMY48M from LMY48I
Devices older than, and including, the 2012 Nexus 7 are no longer supported. Please, for the sake of Internet security, upgrade to a newer device!
Best of luck to you and cheers to a renewed focus on providing security updates!

Plant Expansion Continues at Balon
Balon Corporation is pleased to announce that we have completed construction on a significant addition to our Oklahoma City manufacturing plant.
With our recent building activity, Balon now stands at 1.4 million square feet of enclosed manufacturing area.
On the corner of Mable Avenue and 34th Street, Balon is now fully utilizing a new 303,000 square foot building that houses our massive ball manufacturing operation and also provides much needed additional space for the storage of raw materials.
Situated on a 9.2 acre plot of land, our "Mable Building" required more than 1,300 truckloads of concrete and nearly half a million pounds of reinforcing steel. The building's structure incorporates an additional 832 tons of steel.
Throughout the State of Oklahoma, across North America, and around the world, our energy industry is expanding relentlessly. With its growth comes an increased demand for better valve products.
The owners of Balon Corporation view the recent additions to our manufacturing plant as an investment in our customers' future as well as our own.
Whether you are a distributor, an original equipment manufacturer, or an end user, you can be confident that Balon Corporation and our more than 1,000 valued employees will work tirelessly to assure the timely availability of the safest, most durable floating ball valves, trunnion mounted ball valves, swing check valves, and needle valves in our industry: Balon Valves.

Christmas turkey is Christmas turkey, whether it's being consumed while watching the snow blanketing the world outside, or besides the braai (BBQ) on a hot sunny afternoon. But, the rest of the Christmas food differs vastly over here, in the 'other' hemisphere.
Tamales, for one. A delicious treat, which I have learned to eat with lashings of plain yogurt, despite attempts to tell me 'that's not really how you're supposed to eat them' along side green beans and brussel sprouts followed by chocolate pie for dessert. While tasty (except for those vegetables), it just feels odd.
It's a slog to find mince pies, Christmas cake is a non-entity and Christmas pudding (you mean chocolate pie?) is pretty much impossible to locate unless you happen upon the 'foreigners' shop.
There, finally, the shelves are full of Walkers shortbread and an abundance of real Christmas goodies, like Quality Street chocolates (absolutely un-affordable) and Panattone and mince pies (did I mention them?).
But I am fairly organised this year. I managed to find, at what we've nicknamed Bob's Booze Shop, a bottle of Amarula, so we can indulge in a homemade Dom Pedro. And after the turkey (yes, I'm going to skip those beans and brussels) I'm having milk tart for pudding.
I'm also, going to try my hand at home made mince pies. I'm not sure if they'll look pretty, but I bet they'll taste 'lekker'.
Where ever you are, whatever you're eating, I hope you're surrounded with love. Here's wishing you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Director - Brad Peyton
Cast - Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello
Rating - 3/5
Our lord and saviour Dwayne Johnson can seemingly save troubled franchises with as much ease as it takes him to put a man to sleep using just his bare hands but even he, with all his divinity, can't save Rampage from steam-rolling all over his filmography.
With neither the will nor the reason to experiment with his roles, The Rock has cornered the market when it comes to a very precise sub genre of action movies, the sort that his nemesis Vin Diesel had made his own about a decade ago. These are the movies that cater to teenage boys and no one else, ideally those who were born post 9/11 so that the inevitable mass mayhem of the third act has little subtext, if any. There have been exceptions, of course. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was a surprisingly wild ride, but usually the Rock's recent output seems to be made up of dusty old relics hastily cleaned as a last moment gift for a younger audience that may or may not throw it in the trash.
Technically, Rampage is a video game movie, sort of like how Jumanji was also a video game movie while there are elements that are either inspired by or borrowed from the games and gaming culture, these movies are largely vehicles for Dwayne Johnson to drive off a cliff. And survive.
This time, adventure calls when the Rock's friend (and gorilla), George, is infected by a toxic serum that gives him super strength, super agility and super size. With shady government agents, shadier mercenaries and the shadiest corporation in the world after George, the Rock enlists the help of a disgraced scientist (Naomie Harris) and a cowboy agent (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as he tries to save George from being killed, captured, or both.
Rampage is a movie with absolutely zero stakes, which is ironic because at one point the Rock says the exact words, "Let's go save the world. But this has been a rather annoying trend with his movies recently. His Fast & Furiouscharacter, Hobbs, is basically a superhero; his character in Jumanji literally had three lives, and in Rampage, his character, Davis Okoye, gets shot at point blank range and lives to flex another muscle.
For these films, the Rock prefers the hired gun method of movie-making, the one-man studio that he is. So he gets a young filmmaker who has displayed obedience in the past, and has a much easier time taking direction than giving it. This is his third movie with Brad Peyton, with whom he previously collaborated on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (not half as terrible as its title) and San Andreas (exactly as uninspired as it sounds). Rampage , their latest, manages to underwhelm even with the handicap of not having any expectations to begin with.
In many ways, it's like a Salman Khan movie The Rock even retains his famous tattoos, much like how Salman, regardless of the character he's playing, protects his bracelet with more passion than he has ever displayed towards a script. So The Rock gets a resounding hero entry and the film gets several moments designed only to elicit whistles from the least demanding members of the audience.
The trouble with films like this we saw a similar scenario unfold very recently with Pacific Rim Uprising, and Kong Skull Island a few months before that is that they've deluded themselves into thinking that all we want to see is giant monsters knocking each other senseless, preferably if one of the giant monsters happens to be The Rock. By spending about an hour setting up its plot, it would seem as if Rampage is at least aware of these problems. Whether or not it does anything interesting with this knowledge is another debate because Rampage doesn't even begin to rampage until the final third of the film, by which point you're either too disengaged with the story they've been telling, or too impatient to enjoy the mayhem you've been waiting for.
But you'd be happy to learn that while the action is blandly put together, it's effective. As we've seen with his previous movies, Peyton has a knack for large-scale set pieces, an ability which is sorely missing when he's faced with shooting a conversation between two human beings.
This tone deafness when it comes to character development, and a smug, cutesy script which has people knowingly comment on the stupidity of what is unfolding on screen as if this acknowledgment purges the movie of its idiocy is sort of the only problem with Rampage.
As always, were it not for The Rock he is absolute gold in roles such as this it wouldn't have merited a second thought.

My Passions: Reading
I only just noticed that even though reading is my greatest passion in life, I've never mentioned it in any of my posts!
Reading for me is not a pass-time, or something to do when I can't do anything.. It's not a hobby, or a homework. For me, Reading is a need! It is one of the vital functions that I MUST do everyday or I can't function!
It started during my early years at school. I was this tough tomboy who had little friends and even less interests in "girly" games or toys. I discovered the world of Books and was fascinated with the treasures that were hidden so innocently in between their covers. I read all the time, everywhere! I read when it was allowed and when it wasn't: I read in class, during social visits, under tables, in bed. I read hungrily and insatiably. I read every single book in our school library, every book we had at home and everywhere I can think of.
Then, I grew a habit of reading before I slept in bed and before I knew it, I was unable to sleep if I didn't read! It was a disaster when I had to sleep at grandma's and she had no books there! I remember once reading the phone book's information page just to be able to sleep!
Another "book episode" happened when I was in my early teenage years and I found a forgotten copy of "Lolita" at my grandma's place under something. I thought it was my version of a lost treasure. I was reading it for the second time (something I often do when I don't understand the meanings) when I was discovered by my mother. She took the book away, investigated with me for half an hour just to know where I got it from and was upset with me because I hadn't asked for permission to read it. At the end of that day, we came up with a deal: from that day on, every books I read, she should know. A few years later, she lost track. but by that time, I was old enough to know the difference between life in books and in real life. You see, no matter how "real" the book is, it's not!
Books are my best friends, they are full of emotions, characters, information, relationships and life that they can fill up the emptiness I feel on most days. They are faithful, constant, and dependable. I am never alone when I have a book, I am content.I know it seems pathetic, but it's not. It's a passion that makes my life rich and wonderful.
What strikes me as sad is that most people don't read anymore, not even the signs, not even the news, not even the status on Facebook if it says "read more".. Only the true readers would reach this part of my post: Congratulations guys! count yourselves as the lucky few left on the face of this earth.. Do you recommend any books btw??
My Passion for Food… A love story
Yes.. I'm in love! Deep, untamed, uninhibited love that runs deep in my veins – and stomach for that matter.
I love everything about Food: the fragrant, irresistible smell; the amazing, original colors and the rich, overwhelming tastes.
My love for food is not only about eating .. I enjoy cooking -a lot. I love to innovate but mostly I try to learn all the secrets and tricks from a most amazing teacher, Nana (my mom).
I have a theory about food, a theory that all my family shares: "the most important ingredient for any food is love". This is probably why I do not enjoy food in restaurants. It is impersonal- cold.
I know my passion for food is so obvious, it sometimes embarrasses me. This is why- again- I hate eating in public. I feel like everyone is watching me and I cannot be comforted by Food.
Food is always tempting, always! No time limit, no place, nothing can stand in the way of tasting and getting my fill of my favorite food.
Food is always benevolent: no matter what mood I'm in, no matter how upset, happy, depressed or enthusiastic, I can always count on food to cheer me up or celebrate with me..
Food is always missed: when the time comes, nothing can replace it or sooth the craving…
I know most people consider Food as secondary to happiness- not me! I think being happy is getting your fill of favorite food in the company of your favorite people. Nothing can beat that, NOTHING!
These days, we hear about the famine happening in Somalia and I believe no one feels their ordeal more than I do!I grieve for them all the time, mention them in every prayer and try to help as much as I can. They know, better than anyone, the importance of food.
I guess it can never be compared to Somalians, but you can better understand how Ramadan is a difficult month for me. long hours of deprivation and longing… Exhausting!! Yet, the promised Heaven is a great motive 🙂
Food is a blessing.. I'm sure and I will always be grateful for it. Alhamdoulillah.

The Dog Whisperer Part II March 26, 2009Posted by admin in : Animals , add a comment
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Killian was acting out because she was going through separation anxiety. She didn't know where her owner was or when she was coming back or why I was there. She was confused and scared and reaching out the only way she knew so Mary's advice was to write her a letter addressing the following points:
-Where the owner was and when she was coming back
-Why the owner left her in my care
-Why it was important for me to get some sleep
-Why it was important for her not to go potty inside
She also told me to thank Killian for keeping the house clean and for sleeping through the night. She said to thank her for sharing in the spiritual journey with me and then let her know she was safe and could come with me spiritually to my yoga classes so she didn't feel abandoned when I left the house.
Mary explained dogs are telepathic so Killian would receive the message through the thought forms I was putting out through the letter. I sat and meditated for a couple minutes to settle my energy and then opened my heart and began to write. As I wrote, Killian curled up in a ball at my feet and fell asleep. The energy was peaceful and sweet and I felt lovingly connected to her for the first time. Just as I was finishing the letter, I started sobbing and was overcome with emotion because I realized I had become the person I swore I would never be.
As a child, I was alone and scared and wanted desperately for someone to protect me, but my mother was emotionally unavailable to me so I felt abandoned. I swore I would never make anyone feel the same and would go out of my way to be there and support anyone who needed it, yet I was doing the opposite. I wasn't being compassionate and patient and understanding. I was allowing myself to be irritated by Killian's whining instead of loving her and letting her know it would be okay. And it wasn't just Killian. Reflecting back through my life, I could see a pattern of me not having time or patience to deal with anyone who appeared to be needy yet I was a needy child myself.
The realization was quite profound and I couldn't believe it all came through a letter being written to an animal. It was powerful, though, and I felt so much compassion and love in my heart. There was definite purpose in my stint with this dog and I was grateful for what she helped me discover. We didn't sleep through the night, but she only got up once and it was to pee and then we both were able to go back to bed so it was an improvement.
I can't say Killian turned in to a perfect angel, but things definitely improved and I was able to get a little more sleep. By the end of the two weeks I knew Killian a lot better and was able to develop a relationship of trust and I ended up really taking a liking to her. At one point I even got on the floor and laid my head on her chest with my arms wrapped around her. Part of our bonding was from me opening up my heart and being more compassionate for what she was feeling, but there was also a certain amount of me needing to let her know I was the alpha energy while her owner was away. Some of her acting out wasn't out of fear…it was just her testing my place in the order of things and so we had to get to know each other and set boundaries and it was a powerful transformation. In the end, we parted as buds and although I'm still not a "dog person," I have a different respect and understanding for the creatures they are the spirits they embody.
The Dog Whisperer – Part I March 25, 2009Posted by admin in : Animals , add a comment
I believe it's important to help friends out when you can so I agreed to dog sit for two weeks even though I wasn't thrilled about it. I will never make the same mistake again, as the past week as been an absolute nightmare. Killian is a Red Doberman and quite the princess. I never thought a dog could invoke such strong emotions, but she has thoroughly tried my patience.
I love animals yet I'm not really a "dog person" because I've never had the chance to bond with them. We owned two dogs when I was a child and I loved them dearly, but I never had the chance to connect with them as a pet-owner because they were not allowed inside the house unless it was below zero or pouring rain and even then they were sequestered to the garage. I remember many days sitting in the dirt in the back yard telling my dogs how much I loved them and how sorry I was to see them unnecessarily chained and condemned like wild animals, as their energy felt sad and it weighed heavy on my heart to see them so dejected.
Because of my limited experience of being a pet owner, I didn't realize dog sitting would be so challenging. Killian is driving me absolutely crazy and I don't know what to do. She won't sleep at night and walks around in circles whimpering, which is absolutely maddening. She won't go to the bathroom when I let her out, but then poops on the floor when I leave. She mangled my Oakley sunglasses, which had sentimental value and couldn't be replaced. She won't listen and I keep talking to her like she's a human thinking she will eventually get it, but she keeps acting out. She has food and water and I let her out several times a day yet she still whines through the night. I tried putting her in bed with me, but she woke me up every couple hours and annoyed me to no end. She would stand up, walk around in circles and then plop herself down on top of me with a loud sigh. One night she even jumped up with her big monster bone in her mouth and decided she wanted to play and I ended up getting whacked in the face with it.
I'm mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted and don't know what to do. I'm frustrated and irritated with her behavior and have lost all patience. I'm at an absolute loss and still have another week to go, but my mom is trying to get me in touch with the animal healer she worked with back in November so I'm hoping she can help.

The other day I was walking down a sidewalk in a shopping plaza feeling a bit down when this woman came walking out of a store, looked in my eyes and said, "hello" with a great big smile. Natural instinct had me smiling back, as my heart blossomed with a sense of peace. I didn't even know this woman, yet her radiant spirit and warm smile completely turned my day around. Who knew something as simple as a smile could have made such a profound impact?
I wanted the whole world to feel the same so I spent the rest of the day trying to share the love, but was not met with the same enthusiasm. Most of the people I tried to smile at looked away before I even had a chance. The person either consciously chose to look in another direction or they were too lost in thought to even notice me, but that's the society we live in. There's so much mental chatter going on in our heads, we end up missing the journey because we're so caught up in the daily grind of life and living.
I expect people in a busy metropolitan city to avoid eye contact, but not out in a beautiful park on a gorgeous day. There were tons of people, but most of them were missing the beauty around them, as the to-do list and responsibilities were being calculated behind the sea of blank stares. I just wanted to get everyone out of their head and in to the present moment by saying, "HEY! Look at this amazing day. Isn't it beautiful?"
A lot of people looked unhappy, which was fine, as we all have bad days. Everyone experiences the full spectrum of emotion, but not everyone comes back to a place of settled peace, as some people's normal emotional state is unhappiness. From there, they may experience joy, but then they go back to feeling down again. Why can't we feel comfortable resting in a state of peace and happiness and from there experience the other lower emotions?
As the economy continues to worsen, more and more people are losing hope so we really need to open our hearts and breathe more compassion in to the world. We need to stay connected and present to those around us so if you see someone having a bad day and perhaps experiencing something other than joy, then perhaps you could share a little love by smiling at them. It's a simple gesture, but one that is sacred and could make a difference in some one's life so don't think twice about it.

As one of the school directors of Brave Studios and taking on full time work on Neighbours, Damien had to juggle two worlds to make it work. Damien loved working on the set of Neighbours and getting back into his acting shoes. His acting role on Neighbours lasted for 3 months full time and was lucky enough to be a part of the 30th year anniversary. Damien got to work with all the wonderful actors that are currently on the show as well as the actors who have been in our lounge room over the last 30 years. Damien was amazed at the size of the studios out in Nunawading and couldn't believe just how much work goes into producing Neighbours. Everyone is working extremely hard out there and had nothing but respect for all the actors and crew. Acting roles on Neighbours has been opening doors to many actors in Australia and launching successful careers both locally and internationally. Many students studying at Brave Studios and Greentree Acting School have had wonderful opportunities to audition for Neighbours as well win roles on the TV show. Damien looks completely different on the show and has used his years of extensive training to transform himself into an acting role that is very far from who he is. be sure to tune in and watch is great performance on Neighbours.

Spring Forward – Daylight Savings Time
Just wanted to remind everyone that the clocks go FORWARD one hour tonight. What does that mean? It means you should probably stock up on liquor because some of the bars will close an hour earlier.
Seriously. Daylight Savings Time was issued to keep people safe and to save energy. It's practice goes a lot earlier, but DST started on March 31st, 1918. It has been suggested that Ben Franklins' "Early to Bed, Early to Rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" was coined to save on things like candles.
Last year, DST came 3 weeks earlier in hopes to save on energy. The results have come back and we found that it only slightly saved money. So the question is – will it switch back anytime soon?
Most likely not. You would have to argue that keeping it as it is would cost a lot more than moving it. After all, a lot of IT departments were hit last year with the DST switch. And although it wasn't as tedious as the Y2K bug, it still was something that needed to be planned and implemented, which cost companies thousands of dollars.
So drink up! Then rise and shine a whole hour earlier. Because, well… it WON'T be an hour earlier.
Don't worry. You'll get the hour back in the fall…

Like Beyonce lip-synching the national anthem, David Beckham has admitted that he didn't actually do all the half-naked scampering around in his new H&M ad.
"David was very involved in the advert including doing most of the stunts," stated an H&M rep, according to E! News. "Due to his tight schedule a body double was used in smaller parts of the video."
So which parts features David's butt double and which were the real Becks? Our friends at HuffPost UK break it down, pointing out that in a few of the shots from behind, Beckham's tattoos seem to have mysteriously disappeared from his right arm.
Oh, and then there is this fairly damning picture:
In a Twitter interview with fans, the football star tweeted that he did most of his own tricks:
But clearly not all of them. We recommend another viewing of the ad for, uh, research purposes. Oh, and the behind-the-scenes video. You can never be too sure of these things.

Great Nutrition Leads To A Healthy and balanced Life
There is no right or wrong way to incorporate nutrition into your everyday life. Being healthy requires you to eat nutritious food to the best of your ability. The article below will provide you with some tips that you can use to achieve a nutrition filled lifestyle that will benefit you.
Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to help with your weight loss. Fruits and vegetables are full of good-for-you nutrients, fiber, and vitamins. They will keep your appetite in check. These healthy foods are also low in calories which will help keep your daily calorie count low.
Vitamin B6 is an important part of a healthy diet. Vitamin B6 works to metabolize protein and carbohydrates. It is also important in helping your body maintain a healthy blood sugar level. B6 is a player in the functioning of your immune and nervous systems. It also helps to keep anemia away.
Fish contain omega 3, which is essential for nutrition. Omega 3 fatty acids are an important part of the diet. If you are vegetarian or simply do not enjoy fish, flax seed contains a very good amount of these important nutrients. Adding a bowl or two of oatmeal and flax cereal or replacing a meal or two per week with fish can boost the amount of Omega 3 in your diet.
If you are having trouble about what you should and shouldn't eat, consult with a doctor or friends. Sometimes it can be hectic to eat nutritious when there is so much information out there for you to read. Asking around can help you understand what it is you should be putting into your body to keep it running healthy.
Shopping more frequently for produce can reduce waste and increase the likelihood of actually eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Lots of people purchase their groceries once a week and sometimes forget to eat their fresh produce. If you stop by the store slightly more often, things won't spoil as often and you'll get into the habit of eating more fresh produce in no time.
A great nutrition tip is to switch from eating white rice to brown rice. White rice is high glycemic which means it won't burn as long and will be likely stored as fat. Brown rice is a lot healthier and can make a big difference when you add it to your diet.
Always eat a balanced diet. The ideal diet for most people, consists of about 20 percent protein, 30 percent fat and between 50 and 55 percent carbohydrates. Most people are aware that too much fat is bad, however, too little can be bad, as well. The same goes for carbohydrates.
One way to https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/other/collagen.html have healthy bones is by taking lots of calcium rich foods. A good source of calcium are dairy products, such as soy milk. These products also provide the body with a good amount of protein and helps the body to be less prone to the disease called osteoporosis.
A good tip is to try and avoid grains for awhile. Over the course of time humans have eaten veggies, fruit, meat, and legumes. The processed form of grains have a lower content of minerals and vitamins. Therefore, grains may be causing you some unpleasant feelings.
Pay close attention to your late-evening snacking habits. Even after eating dinner, many people still make a habit out of indulging in a snack in that window between dinner and bedtime. This should be avoided at all costs unless you choose to snack on a healthy, nutritious food, like veggies or non-fat dairy products.
For delicious meals that are good for your heart, try the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes on vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains. Fish and chicken are preferred over red meat. Olive oil is used instead of butter. Instead of salt, herbs and spices are used to add flavor to food. This diet is based on healthy ingredients. Eating meals like this regularly can lead to a reduction of the bad cholesterol that can clog arteries.
By skipping breakfast, you will feel hungry and less energetic all day. It is a common fallacy that by skipping breakfast you can lower your caloric intake. In reality, skipping breakfast makes you hungry, making you susceptible to eating unnecessary snacks throughout the day. You'll eat more snacks than if you got a good breakfast to start off your day.
When you are looking for something to snack on, open the refrigerator. You will most likely find choices that are more healthy than anything you can find in your pantry or freezer. Try filling your fridge with fruits and vegetables so you always have easy access to a snack.
Sweet potatoes are an excellent comfort food http://tweetmydesign.com/?effective-ways-to-market-your-supplements-business-by-selling-supplements-article-writer-Lila-Cunningham.html but contain less carbohydrates than other kinds of potatoes. Eat these instead of mashed potatoes or fries. All you need to add is a little butter and sugar to taste. As a bonus, sweet potatoes have anti-inflammatory properties, unlike traditional potatoes.
While you do need to have a good amount of protein in your diet, it is not a good idea to eat too much meat, so you should try eating other protein-rich foods and eliminating meat sometimes. Good choices are peas, beans, tofu, and meat substitutes like seitan.
Eating chicken is good for you as long as you follow a couple of simple rules. You should always remove all of the skin from the chicken because it is loaded with fat. Another good idea is to eat white meat chicken because it has less fat than dark meat portions.
Eating a varied diet is a key to good nutrition. When you look at your plate, the more colors you see, the better. You should also have a balance of protein and simple and complex carbohydrates. For example, a chicken salad with mixed greens, carrots, and tomatoes will provide a colorful, healthy meal.
So, if you want to motivate your family to eat better and lead by example, the ideas within this article can help you! You will soon see that having better nutrition makes your life both healthier and happier.

At 10:00 the COA will hear Nathan Sinko v. State – an important case concerning parole eligibility for certain drug offenders.
This case challenges the legislature's ability to change an offender's parole eligibility after the date of the crime and conviction. In 2014, the legislature changed the parole laws. Many drug offenders who had had parole eligibility dates were notified by MDOC that they were no longer eligible for parole. Sinko filed a pcr and the trial court found that this was not the correct procedure.

I feel like I'm carving a niche out for myself as the "stay-at-home-mom-with-no-children" type. I constantly gravitate towards blogs, planners, organization advice, etc like I've got 3 kids to keep track of. I think I just love the system of a well managed home and having kids usually results in that sort of thing. Who could say.
Anyway, it was become increasingly more imperative that I get the burners and drip pans of my stove cleaned. Every single time I cooked something my smoke alarm would go off! Seriously, I boiled a pot of water and it went berzerker. The burnt-on crustiness was becoming kind of a hazard. I saw this amazing idea on Pinterest that suggested putting the pieces in ziplock bags with a little ammonia and letting it set over night. The fumes clean the schmuck and you don't even have to scrub. I was a believer.
Unfortunately, this one just didn't work for me. It seemed to work well on my burners, but those weren't terrible to begin with. But my drip pans were atrocious and the fumes just didn't have the punch to really get the job done. Perhaps it's because they were more at the burnt-to-shit level than the really-greasy level. I also suspect that my Aldi-brand ziplock bags didn't have the tightest seal. At any rate, I couldn't just leave them (which is generally my inclination if Plan A doesn't work) because I couldn't stand to hear that damn alarm go off another time.
So, because I've had moderate success with this at-home cleaner, I decided to bust it out. Between that cleaner and my magic eraser, I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Not perfect, but I probably won't set the house on fire!
Not bad! Here's the other side, post cleaning:

Miss A released the music video for their debut song Bad girl, Good Girl. As you may know Miss A has two Chinese members and two Korean members and are set to do promotions in Korea and China. Tomorrow the girls will be making a debut stage performance on M! Countdown.
In the Bad girl, Good Girl music video, the girls are styled in American Apparel attire. Boy! I have to give the stylist props. I usually dislike when the stars in styled in the same pattern, but in this music it worked. i couldn't think of a better brand that is fit for dancing and fashion. Check out their looks:

Do you trip over, or treasure interruptions? The way you perceive something will determine a lot about the outcome. An interruption is usually inconvenient, sometimes messy, and never on the checklist of to- dos. I wonder if I miss some beautiful, fulfilling, messy gifts because I didn't like the wrapping. To find out if this was indeed true, I conducted a little experiment for myself. It went like this:
I started my day with the usual list of tasks; wrote them all down and even starred the priorities. After I felt satisfied, I released half of them to another day… which means I had more than enough time to finish the few left. This felt foreign, but I purposed to leave room for God to really move. And He did.
Richer conversations, opportunities to help people, moments to reflect on God's amazing creations, and a most surprising one: rest. My checklist is not as tidy these days, but my heart is thriving as I walk it out with the Lord. Give it a try! You will not regret it one bit.
The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. Psalm 85:12
I chose to treasure the interruption of this messy crew that arrived at the back door right at a meal time. Our food got cold; but the squeals of delight as I hosed them down still ring sweet in my ears. Worth it.

I have previewed your form on IOS but didn't notice the overlapping of the tables but some of them indeed appear to move far to the left on mobile view.
Because some of the tables are pretty long horizontally, I would suggest you Expand them from Form Builder instead of Shrink and set Label Align to top to ensure a better layout.
You might also need to add the bellow CSS to the form to remove an extra 'padding-left' that causes some of the Textboxes to extend outside the table.
@media screen and (max-width: 480px), screen and (max-device-width: 768px) and (orientation: portrait), screen and (max-device-width: 415px) and (orientation: landscape) {
table td + td {
padding-left: 0;
Here is the preview after those modifications:
If you notice some of the tables don't fit well, go to Designer and increase the form width.

May I know which of the labels you are referring to? I checked your form on a iPhone device but it seems like the labels are quite small on initial view. You'll need to zoom in first.
Usually the form automatically adjust to a more user friendly layout to give your users a more convenient way of viewing the form. So there are instances that a label might appear bigger, depending on how it is styled by your theme, CSS code and the likes.

WordPress is the most popular content management system (27.2% of all websites in 2016), bringing an ease in creating websites even for non technical users. Perfect option? Unfortunately not, as WordPress is also the most hacked platform (around 70% of all hacked CMS are WordPress based sites).
Is it because it's so popular? Maybe because many people don't have basic technical knowledge allowing to secure these platforms? Or because people create these websites and then forget about updating? I leave it to your answer.
Today we're going to focus on ways to secure your site, making it harder to get hacked.
Keep your WordPress up to date
First and the most important thing is to always keep your site updated, as well as plugins and themes that you're using as developers are working hard to secure all the reported flaws. A lot of sites were hacked by vulnerabilities in code of old plugins, or WordPress core, which were updated in the newer versions.
If you don't want to come back to your website as often, to only check for updates, consider auto update option. You can do this by using one of two methods - by defining constant in wp-config.php or by adding plugins.
To enable automatic updates define this constant:
- True – Development, minor, and major updates are all enabled
- False – Development, minor, and major updates are all disabled
- 'minor' – Minor updates are enabled, development, and major updates are disabled
For plugins:
For themes:
Use strong credentials!
- Strong passwords.
- Don't use admin as username.
Not only people will try to attack your site. There are bots that will try to access your wp-admin page and brute force your password, preferably using admin as username. So it's essential to have strong password, but also by changing the username to something less obvious. That way attacker will also have to find it, along with the password.
For passwords, I can reccomend generators from apps like KeePass or LastPass. Your password have to be CLU: Complex. Long. Unique.
Another security practice is having two accounts - one working as admin and second for publication. Publication account should be used while adding blog posts, content that don't require admin privilages, and while using some public internet access. That way, even if somehow attacker gained access to your password, privilages of publication account won't allow him to do much more harm, than while being logged as admin.
Also - consider two factor authentication!
Think about your plugins!
If you're not using a plugin, it's deactivated - simply, delete it. It's known to attack a site, by exploiting flaws in the plugin that the developer wasn't even using. But why it happens? After deactivating the plugin - its file are still in the WordPress directory waiting to be used once again. Or maybe waiting to be hacked?
Always download plugins from trustworthy sources. Even if you want a premium plugin, download them from sites like Themeforest, or from developer's website. Those free versions may be infected with malware or some backdoor that will make your site very easy to exploit.
Hide your wp-config.php and .htaccess files
The wp-config file contains very confidentional information about your website. To protect it from intrusion, you should add the following code to your .htaccess file to deny access to anyone else.
Same for .htaccess file.
Change your WordPress Security Keys
define('AUTH_KEY', 'VatTc3WfW~dKdE~m=Hf_bvaH-)1+ko=IQ:!oiYW}o1H+[;LgP[QC981U+{K2w0d+'); define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '/@*MX4vaG(:8iMfx(V z$-4b<N;_((cA `nv/~,*tKiO6W}hUf+ t]rL[I9,m^o|'); define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'c$Ou*1`?^+(:I4=Lpy6aD-HMl/1Jdg9y-J$1^(V+o>{TyE[q.$)Rtvm:q5j_itG.'); define('NONCE_KEY', '=+2:9RPE=0x`9!/l}qaYQ`{m)OW|s2I&Hnk=O4/;gwh}I+WGJCk2PmHK{1CIjhDm'); define('AUTH_SALT', '$5a?Qk1Rzfd{+r_/9XR%2<P+f1^QlQ|pJXMX>1ly-8<n%1J#IaE+O9xy=8(x/AWU'); define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'iehUhOYms(1fQzpacQTrfUR?s;g>9-?(Q=H0s:[email protected]/o>90MI2NE1-z-ji'); define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', '$.[D]<Nm)N[gig#<Dc8|>FXr&+QMmN{sv(AgHM.=*Fdnz-)1YTBAOuJIr94w0Mo3'); define('NONCE_SALT', 'kkv<g?I-JZ+J%xdS!~9vr>F4myL7hdgl++7Q|)I|,=^Jvh=8Ty-iiarrzK)P-sn|');
WordPress Security Keys is a set of random variables that improve encryption of information stored in the user's cookies. You should change them right after installation of your WordPress site. Use this site to get new set of fresh keys and then change them in you wp-config.php file.
Change file permissions
Having secure file permissions may vary from your hosting provider, some may have secure permissions to your files, and some won't bother about this leaving you with default settings. Avoid having directories with 777 permissions, instead opt for 755 or 750. Also set files to 640 or 644 and wp-config.php to 600.
Limit login attempts
As I mentioned before, many attackers try to gain access with automated brute force attacks. Easiest way would be to use plugin that will forbid certain IP address from accessing the wp-admin page after certain amounts of failed logins. Plugin such as All In One WP Security & Firewall will allow you to change the URL of the login page - bots are programmed to look for wp-admin.
In addition to that use plugin limiting login attempts:
Hide your WordPress version
FIngerprinting WordPress is a huge issue, since from the attacker point of view - knowing the version will make it easier to find exploits. You can do this by adding this piece of code to your functions.php file.
This will hide your WordPress version from all possible places.
Last words
Keeping your WordPress based site is very serious task, but following these tips will make it much safer than it was before, which undoubtedly will save you a lot of time in the future. But remember, there is no unhackable thing so always keep backups of your website, as in case of infection you will save more time than creating your site from scratch.
I hope you learned something, from this article.

Γεια σας αναγνώστες – Hello readers,
I found this interesting video from CNN about the current employment conditions in Greece. Although you will be surprised because it does not feature the young Greek generation. Although it does include what could be considered a tiny bit of hooliganism (in a protesting sense) and not quite from who you would expect…Take a look.
As you just saw Greek youth have managed to fly under the radar in the media this week, but the older generation certainly did not. If you didn't watch the video then you may wonder why are they protesting? A leaked email outlines changes being made to begin a 6-DAY WORK WEEK!
(I imagine gasps from the employed and quiet cries from the unemployed).
It seems like quite a bad situation when the people who are employed don't like the idea of pulling another day, while there are so many who are completely unemployed.
Now the logic behind what I am about to say could be completely unrealistic but hear me out. If they are considering adding another day to the workweek and the currently employed are not happy then could they cut back their hours to employ younger people for much less?
For example: A new teachers salary (based of my knowledge and it differs depending on where you are) is probably around $26,000 to $34,000 a year. Where as, a veteran teacher who has been teaching for 40 plus years and may have earned more education along the way is probably making AT LEAST double if not triple the new teachers salary. So if your school is in debt and needs to make budget cuts, as we've had problems with in the U.S., they turn to cutting programs like art, music and drama. BUT what if they offered veteran teacher(s) an early retirement package and then employ a new teacher for much less. Resulting in less money being taken from the budget to pay for the veteran teacher and keep the programs that are in jeopardy of being cut.
Easier said then done, but if something similar was plausible to help the unemployed then it could be worth a shot. I am in no means saying out with the old and in with the new because those people are extremely wise and knowledgeable, but the young generation needs to be to be able to come in and learn from them. Eventually if the young people are gone and stay wherever they decide to relocate, then who will be there to take on leadership positions when the older generation are ready to retire?

And for now I leave you with this…
