As they say, aman by nature will never be contented. When we want something and we work hard for it, we still want another thing once we want it. No matter how we get what we want, we will never be contented and will still aim for more. That is the human's nature that sometimes, we don't see how someone who has everything still wants more.
However, though some of the goals of others are already unreasonable, there are also those that are within reasons. Like for example if you are not contented with your kitchen not because it is not luxurious but because it is crowded or maybe it is simply out of fashion.
If that is the case, then you should plan for a kitchen renovation. Our life is pre-determined as they say like no matter what you do, you will die in the age that is meant for you. Though this is not confirmed still the bottom line is, if you have the means and you really want it, why not! Just make sure to do it with the pros like Carreaux Metro or you might end up still discontented after the entire process.
Carreaux Metro is where you find the best interior designers and the best products to use in the renovation as well. They deliver for free thus there are really no hassles.
Before that though, let me cite you some example why you should:
- As of today where builders seem to have their vacation, their fees will not be as high as when they are quite busy. This is a good time to look out for one as you can surely easily find a good deal.
- Another reason for a renovation is if there is an addition to your family like your place is now getting more crowded. If you won't renovate in this situation, chances are your daily living will be uncomfortable.
- You simply want to renovate your place like you find some exciting fixtures and yours at home surely needs replacements especially in the kitchen area. Like for example if you are using tiles for your splashbacks and now, you want to replace it with other materials because of the generated grout that makes your kitchen look less appealing like ceramics, for example, Carreaux Metro are expert in installing them.
Yes, it is indeed a lot less time to consume and less stressful if you will just go for what you want!

Punk Rock from US
with The Scandals at den Atelier
promoter den Atelier
There is a certain thrill to meeting a band in an intimate club... It's always been there under the New Jersey grit, but this propulsive American four-piece fully unleashes its inner Who on its fifth studio album, Get Hurt. The band have spent their career to date being compared to their fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen, but singer-guitarist Brian Fallon sounds exactly like the '73 Roger Daltrey, with the cutting, lyric awareness of Pete Townshend. Made with Arctic Monkeys producer Mike Crossey, Get Hurt is a fresh, anthemic striving – further from E Street, driven by epic metal guitars. The Gaslight Anthem are an immensely thrilling live experience.

Public Art: Baltimore Battle Monument
Sculptor: © Antonio Capellano
Architect: The column was designed by French
architect J. Maximilian M. Godefroy (1765 – c 1838)
Description: The 39ft Battle Monument commemorates
the Battle of Baltimore (when the British Fleet attempted to take Fort McHenry in 1814). The
monument features an Egyptian Revival cenotaph base with a griffin sitting on each corner . It has
been suggested on various websites that the 20 layers of marble that make up the cenotaph base represent
the 20 star flag that became the Official United States Flag on April 13th, 1818 during the time the
Battle Monument was being built, but I have yet to verify this. On top of the base is a Roman column, which
is bound by cords and lists all the souls who died during the battle (starting with officers at the top). At the
top of the column is Capello's female statue fondly referred to as Lady Baltimore. She represents victory,
with a crown upon her head and a laurel wreath in her right hand, lifted high into the air. Her left
hand rests on a ship's rudder. On October 2013 the statue was taken down off its column and relocated to the
Maryland Historical Society to prevent further damage and wear. In its place now stands a concrete replica.
Date Unveiled: The Battle Monument was built between
1815-25 and the Lady Baltimore statue was hoisted into position on Defenders Day, September 12, 1822.
Location: The Baltimore Battle Monument is located in
Battle Monument Square on North Calvert Street between East Fayette and East Lexington Streets in Baltimore,
Things That You May Not Know About the Baltimore Battle
The French architect Godefroy won the commission to build the monument a year after the battle.
He also hired Italian artist Antonio Capellano to create the statue and relief.
While Capellano hung around, waiting for Godefroy to get going on the monument he was hired by
Robert Cary Long Sr to create some reliefs for Old St Paul's Church.
The monument is depicted on both the seal of the City of Baltimore (1827) and on the city's flag
(early 20th century).
The site of the Battle Monument was originally earmarked for the Washington Monument, for which the
cornerstone had already been laid on the 4th of July, 1815. But due to fears the Washington Monument was too
tall and could potentially fall onto nearby townhouses a new location was found.

Staghorn ferns are unusual and interesting plants that grow wild in jungles and tropical areas in many parts of the world. They are epiphytes, which means that they will attach themselves to other plants for sustenance. If you live in Hawaii or Florida, you can attach a staghorn fern to a tree. Otherwise, you'll need to attach it to a sturdy surface and provide the plant with water and nutrients.
Choose a solid mounting surface for the staghorn fern, such as a piece of driftwood or a piece of mahogany, oak or redwood. Although the mounting surface can be any size you like, a larger piece of wood will mean the staghorn fern won't require re-mounting in the near future.
Attach a strong hook, chain or wire loop on the back of the mounting surface. Use screws instead of nails, because the staghorn will eventually get very heavy, especially when it's wet.
Tack eight to 10 short nails on the front of the mounting board. When the staghorn is installed in the center of the board, there should be four to five nails about an inch from each side of the fern.
Soak a large handful of sphagnum moss in a bowl of water until it's wet through. The moss should be large enough to cover the roots of the staghorn fern. Squeeze the excess water from the moss and wrap it loosely around the staghorn's roots.
Position the staghorn fern on the mounting board. Connect a length of clear fishing line or wire to one of the nails on the front of the board, and pull it across to a nail on the opposite side. Continue to cross the fishing line or wire back and forth until the staghorn is securely mounted. Eventually, it will be hidden by the fern.

What is Motorola Q8 phone unlocking ?
A good number of Networks Service providers lock their Motorola phones to their network, stopping you from making use of your phone on some other carriers.

Nonetheless an un-locked 3G phone can take and work with a 2G handset. 3G handsets have backward compatibility which allows them to recognize and operate with a 2G simcard However, an network unlocked 2G handset is unable to recognise the more modern 3G/4G sim card technology.
Is Motorola Q8 unlocking illegal?
In great Britain removing the lock on your Motorola Q8 phone is perfectly legal however unblocking a Motorola Q8 phone which has been reported lost or stolen is illegal.

Orthotic insoles for children
Children can have foot discomfort too. Foot problems are not exclusive to teens and adults. Most of the foot disorders that affect adults can also effect kids and some disorders are exclusive for kids. Ailments such as Severs disease effect only kids.
Taking care of your children's feet at the beginning of their life can prevent more serious problems later on in their life. Kids lead very active lives as most are constantly running, jumping and putting stress on their feet and joints. And while they may not complain, the stress can take its toll on young growing feet.
All children are born with flat feet. In most cases, the foot arch develops over the first 8-12 years of their lives. Some children have feet that just do not develop an arch and their feet remain flat their whole lives. Others over-develop the arch and the result is unusually high arches which can bring on problems just as flat feet can.
Parents can alleviate the discomfort their children endure and assist in the proper development of their feet by using good quality shoe insoles. And several brands and product styles are available for small, growing feet.
Simply put, no matter what you pay for your children's shoes, any shoe with Arch IDEASTEP is a better shoe. IDEASTEP do what even the best shoes cannot: makes kids' feet more comfortable while enhancing natural arch development. The Arch Angels Children's Comfort Insoles use a unique triple-layer design to bring more comfort while enhancing natural arch development.
Take care of your children's feet. Prevent foot problems before they begin. Help your child develop proper foot arch function and prevent lifelong problems. Check out the best selection of childrens insoles today at The www.aideastep.com

DMACK drivers extended their lead of the MSA British Rally Championship after Elfyn Evans and Craig Parry scored their third victory today at the Nicky Grist Stages in Wales. The DMACK British Rally Team pair were untouchable on both gravel and asphalt surfaces to win 12 of the 15 stages, and take victory by over a minute. They now have a 39-point championship lead.
DMACK runners won all three of the top BRC classes and, in BRC2, Matt Edwards and Will Rogers were crowned champions with two rounds still remaining, sealing the BRC title today in their DMACK-equipped Mitsubishi EVO.
The Nicky Grist Stages was the only mixed-surface round of the championship and Evans was quickly into the groove. He blasted through stage three more than 15 seconds quicker than anyone else to open up a 24-second advantage by the first service halt. Using DMACK's soft compound gravel tyre, he mastered the wet, muddy and treacherously slippery conditions of the Crychan and Halfway stages, formally tests of Wales Rally GB.
In their Autotek prepared Ford Fiesta R5 the pair were fastest on seven of the opening day's eight stages to hold an overnight lead of 48 seconds.
During a specially extended service, cars were transformed to asphalt specification for today's action over the Epynt military ranges and Evans picked up where he left off on the tricky Tarmac tests. With mixed weather conditions playing havoc with tyre choice, the soft compound DMACK DMT-RC2 proved perfect for the wet and damp roads.
Evans topped the timesheets on a further five stages, extending his lead and finishing back in Builth Wells with a 1 minute 11 second advantage.
In the DMACK British Junior Championship, Irishman Rob Duggan made it a hat-trick of victories this season after a faultless drive. He led from start to finish to head a Vauxhall Motorsport one-two.
MSA British Rally Championship for Drivers
1.Elfyn Evans / Craig Parry (DMACK): 110
2.Tom Cave / James Morgan (Michelin): 71
3. Fredrik Ahlin / Morton Erik Abrahamsen (Pirelli): 65
Elfyn Evans, DMACK British Rally Team driver, said: "It was quite a tricky rally but we went hard from the start and opened up a strong lead on the gravel stages. The conditions were difficult all weekend but the tyres and car both worked well and we were able to manage things perfectly. It has been a very positive result and great that we've extended our lead in the championship."
Glenn Patterson, DMACK British Rally Team manager, said: "We came to the rally with a focus on another victory to consolidate our championship challenge, so we've really had the ideal result. Conditions on both days were very difficult but, as expected, the tyres worked perfectly when it got tough and Elfyn and Craig controlled the event to take an important third win."

MANILA-- A youth group on Tuesday claimed that there were irregularities in the 2016 elections, believing that President Rodrigo Duterte should have gotten majority of the votes.
With this, Duterte Youth Chairman Ronald Cardema has requested the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to let them present before the poll body "the violations committed by Smartmatic in the conduct of the past elections" next week.
"We, the members of the Duterte Youth, would like to respectfully request to have an audience with the Commission En Banc on June 13, 2017, Tuesday at 10 o'clock in the morning," said the letter addressed to Comelec Chairman Juan Andres Bautista, which personally delivered at the latter's office in Intramuros, Manila.
On the other hand, Cardema noted that they got the information of the alleged irregularities from the Philippine Computer Society (PCS).
"We believe that based on the facts that the Philippine Computer Society have shown us there was something wrong with the results. This means (former) Mayor Duterte should have gotten majority of the votes," he said in an interview.
Likewise, the group is looking to present to the poll body officials their stand why the service provider in the last three elections should not allowed to be part of the conduct of polls in the country again.
"To have a brief dialogue with you and the Honorable Members of the Commission and present our position why Smartmatic should be disqualified to join the bidding and be prohibited from being your service provider in any future automated elections in the Philippine Republic," the letter added.
The organization, which has 9,000 members all over the country, said they would want the next elections in the country to be better and more accurate.
"We only voice out our election concerns our election problems during election day and election month. So now we have two years before the 2019 elections, and the 2019 elections is the first elections under the Duterte administration. And we in Duterte Youth we want a clean, a better and a more accurate flawless elections this coming 2019," he said.
"And we believe that in the 2016 elections, Mayor Duterte got more than 16 million votes and if Comelec will allow us to do a presentation next week together with the Phil. Computer Society, we will present our facts so that they can review Smartmatic because kung nakita natin na madami nang violations ang Smartmatic, maybe accidentally or deliberately from the 2010, 2013 and 2016 elections, we should not allow them to continue to be our service provider by 2019 elections," added Cardema, who was confronted by singer Jim Paredes during EDSA anniversary celebration.

How your buyer found this acceptable is truly beyond me. This is the last thing anyone needs to see and let enter their subconscious.
Happiness doesn't come from eating less. It doesn't come from being skinnier, or having pretty hair. Yes, those things can make you be more content with the way you look, but real bliss is so much deeper. Happiness can never be dependent upon external things, because those things are changeable, and once they change, where does your happiness go? True joy must be found within yourself.
Although I know you like selling t-shirts that make amusing, political, satiracal, or fashion statements, this is neither fashionable nor funny. Anorexia is a very serious mental disorder, not a fashion statement to put on a shirt. Furthermore, fashion is about embracing who you are and expressing it. Not expressing what you want to change about yourself.

The "unknown" apc next to your Fuchs is a Marder Apc used by the West Germans during the cold war. 70`s and 80`s.nice collection. 1/72/20mm rules!! i almost bought those dark dream troopers once..are they worth it??ReplyDelete
The DDS set is actually a strange but very nice set. It consists of 14 very nicely done figures in 7 poses, most of which are shown in the picture above, one Combat walker and one Hunter/killer. Hence a box will provide you with about 2 squads of troopers including support weapons like RPG and SAW and two small Mechs. The Mechs are a bit fiddly to build but will end up being nice models. The paintjob I did on them years ago is atrocious however and I will probably repaint them in the near future.ReplyDelete
Some great looking figures and vehicles. Never thought of doing Sci Fi in 1/72 scaleReplyDelete

where did you get the Colonial marines in 1/72 scale?ReplyDeleteReplies
The Colonial Marines are made by Rolf Hedges of RH Models (http://www.rhmodels.com/) He makes terrific miniatures as you can see. His site is alas not very forthcoming with information but he has always responded clearly and quickly top emails. Mail him and ask to be admitted to his forum where you can find pictures of his miniatures http://excoboard.com/RHMODELSDelete
Ordering works through email and he accepts credit card payments. He is always quick to deliver and his stuff is top quality ( I have yet to receive one figure with any flash on it so far).

Answer: Cristiano Ronaldo
This soccer legend has achieved enough success to warrant a museum being constructed dedicated to him named "Museum CR7". It sits in his hometown of Funchal, Portugal and holds many of the trophies and medals he's earned throughout his prestigious career. Though he is widely recognized as an amazing player, many refuse to admire him solely based on his personality as he seems to be arrogant at times. It has led Ronaldo to publicly proclaim that he was hated upon for being so rich, good-looking, and talented.

Countless hours of sleeplessness, anxiety, struggling to read, reading and thinking critically have paved the way for a fresh round of challenges, which I look up to. The finals have long been over and I hope to have done well. The post examination experience has deceived me of my expectations of a hollow feeling of having nothing to do. Instead, it has urged me to start my mental preparations for the journey ahead.
Besides the mental preparations, fatigue has accompanied me in the form of a delightful trip to Mumbai, tucked in between attending a SOAS students' reception right after the exams, writing the IELTS exam just for the sake of testing myself, which I happily passed with flying colours, a trip to my hometown of Burdwan after almost six months and accompanying my Gurujee on the taanpura at the prestigious Tolly Club in Kolkata. To say the least, I have highly relished this hectic schedule so far. Amidst all of the post exam rush, a stream of thoughts has kept gurgling in the background of my mind. These thoughts have predominantly been regarding what it means to be a graduate of the University of London and being associated with the LSE. That I will be graduating from the University of London in a few weeks has made me do a bit of research about what the university stands for.
Sir William Beveridge, who happened to be the Vice-Chancellor of the University of London stated in a 1928 lecture that 'Every University worthy of the name at all is an embodiment of optimism, of belief in youth and in progress, of a certainty that man does not live by bread alone, of a trust in the continuity of the human spirit and human life throughout the ages.' This suggests going beyond the trail trodden very often- doing a job and earning a living. Belonging to an institution that teaches egalitarian values like no other, proudly bears trophies of multiple 'firsts' of admitting students regardless of religious background, allowing women to study and teach, opening the doors of knowledge (in Charles Dickens' words) 'even to the young shoemaker who studies in his garret', it should be imperative to live up to the essential character of this institution, which I believe is progress.
Browsing through the achievements of the notable alumni of the International Programmes inspires me immensely to contribute something worthwhile to society, something for the better and something that would be cherished. Be it beacons of peace like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, discoverer of vitamins Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, Nobel Prize winning novelist Wole Soyinka, amongst a host of others- all of them have pushed the boundaries of knowledge and shone new light to the world.
Gearing up for my journey as a student of MA Music in Development at SOAS (which will start in two months), settling for mediocrity is not an option. While intellect and vision is not equally distributed among humanity, it should be my earnest effort to ensure my full energy towards my aim of bringing the concept of 'raga' and this ancient music of India into the consciousness of people around the world. Much like yoga, raga is a gift from India to the world. Spread a great deal since the last century by icons like Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan and Vilayat Khan among others, the majority of people still remain deprived of this gift. Indian raga music has a priceless philosophical value- unlike any other music I have known. Besides the advocacy part, it should be my aim to make use of the excellent platform at SOAS and enhance my skills as a musician. There's no point in preaching without practising. Only converting the ideas into reality or at least making a truly devoted effort towards it would fulfil the ideals that a University of London graduate should stand for. To see the ideas into reality, developing a deep understanding of things (Rerum cognoscere causas– the motto of the LSE) is vital.
As far as any sadness relating to the end of my journey with UoLIP is concerned, there is none as this is an unending journey. University of London will continue to play a central role in my life. As a student of SOAS in the near future, my little pursuit for achievement will continue at the same Senate House and Bloomsbury campus. The only thing that will differ is now I will be present physically on the campus all the time. As a student about to reside in one of the University of London Intercollegiate halls of residence for the next year, the very institution I have studied with for the past four years is going to be my second home!

A bluetooth is a wireless technology with an open wireless protocol for exchanging data over a short distance from fixed and mobile devices which replaces the cable connecting portable or fixed devices while maintaining high level of security.
Bluetooth is connected to another Bluetooth enabled electronic devices which allows these devices to communicate wirelessly through short-range, ad hoc networks known as piconets. Piconets are established dynamically and automatically as Bluetooth enabled devices enter and leave radio proximity meaning that you can easily connect whenever and wherever it is convenient for you.
The ways in which you can connect your Bluetooth devices are almost limitless- meaning individual devices in a piconet can also simultaneously communicate with up to seven other devices within that single piconet. Each device can also belong to several piconets simultaneously.
The strength of Bluetooth wireless technology is the ability to handle data and voice transmissions simultaneously which provides users with a variety of innovative solutions such as hands-free headsets for voice calls, printing and fax capabilities, and synchronization for PCs and mobile phones, etc. Bluetooth technology does operates in the unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band at 2.4 to 2.485 GHz, using a spread spectrum, frequency hopping, full-duplex signal at a nominal rate of 1600 hops/sec. The 2.4 GHz ISM band is available and unlicensed in many countries.
Bluetooth technology's adaptive frequency hopping (AFH ) has a capabilities which was designed to reduce interference between wireless technologies sharing the 2.4 GHz spectrum. AFH works within the spectrum to take advantage of the available frequency. This is done by the technology detecting other devices in the spectrum and avoiding the frequencies they are using.
Bluetooth Security
In all the wireless networking setup, security is a major big concern. Wireless devices can easily grab radio waves out of the air, so people who send sensitive information over a wireless connection need to take precautions to make sure those signals aren't intercepted.
Bluetooth technology is not exempted - it's wireless and therefore susceptible to spying and remote access, just like the WiFi is susceptible if the network is less secured. With Bluetooth, though, the automatic nature of the connection, which is a huge benefit in terms of time and effort, is also a benefit to people looking to send you data without your permission.
Mobile Bluetooth Hacking
Bluetooth wireless communication allows mobile phones devices to connect to other mobile phone devices within range of 10 meters. In general Bluetooth is a protocol allows devices to transfer multimedia content and other sort of data to each other in the range. Most of the smartphone's attack or threats nowadays involve Bluetooth communication to an extend level. Mobile Bluetooth hacking can be related to many types threats and attack made to unsuspecting smartphone users.
Bluetooth communication has three different security modes which each of them become active and being used at different times.
- 1. Non secure security mode
Mobile devices with non-secure mode will not follow any sort of security being asked. In additional features like pairing, encryption and authentication are bypassed and not required. Therefore this type of security mode is used during Blue-Jacking Attacks which is explained below.
- 2. Service level security mode
This security mode involves central security manager that control access to the services and the devices. Whenever users try to connect to the Bluetooth a number of security procedures are applied. This allows access to a particular user to a given service by denying access to other services. In other word
- 3. Link-level security mode
This security measure is the most secure security for Bluetooth devices. This security mode implements and apply authorization and security procedures even though communication though devices are made. Unfortunately most of the Bluetooth protocols suffer from a various threats, loopholes and attacks made by hackers using different type of software and technique.
Some of the most attacks made to smartphone are:
• BluePrinting attack, is use to gather information into targeted system. This technique will enable Bluetooth hacker to determine manufacturer, model, version, etc. of the targeted enable Bluetooth mobile devices. This hacking allows attackers to query devices without the need of carry out pairing both devices.
• BlueJack Attack is a method use to send an unidentified message from an enable Bluetooth mobile phone to another without knowing the source of the received message to the recipient.
• BlueSnarf Attack is a well-known attack of connecting exposed mobile phone to through Bluetooth without the awareness of the user. This attack involves OBEX protocol that allows that attack to forcibly push and pull confidential data in and out of the mobile phone user. (This is also known as OBEX Pull Attack).
• Blue backdoor Attack, allows the attacker to have complete access and control over the connected Bluetooth devices but allows the attackers to insert additional commands to continue access.
RememberBluetooth hacker's use BTCRACK Application as a pass phrase cracking tool aims to reconstruct passkey and link key from paring exchange. Also by using some of the most advanced program such as BlueFang as a force tool program to find none discovered devices.
Without doubt Bluetooth wireless communication technologies has been expanded and more advanced features are implemented but testing has proved that none of those Bluetooth technologies with advanced features protects users from hackers.
