Miraculous Abilities: Child of the Sun
You are a child of freedom, and the night sky. As a semi-divine being, this gives you certain advantages:
The Sky Is Falling
When freedom is in jeopardy, you have an instinct for this fact. Usually, this applies when something big is happening - a tyrant is taking the throne of Fortitude, or a wish has been made that threatens to unmake the wills of everyone, everywhere. It can occasionally warn you about more specific threats, i.e. someone is coming to arrest you, at the whim of the HG. This power will also let you know if the night sky is in serious danger, for example if the Riders are about to end all of existence.
Not My Problem
You have a habit. Some people consider it a bad habit, but that's really their problem, because it isn't yours! That's your habit, by the way. Finding simple ways to shirk responsibility. You create the feeling that you are free from whatever challenge, responsibility, or problem is facing you, and everyone tends to agree with you.
This doesn't actually solve your problems, and if people stop and think about it, they'll realize that, no, you really should have cleaned the fridge, or fought that goblin, or whatever, but it's usually enough to give you a good head start. You can do this every few hours, or spend an MP to do it again if you get cornered soon afterwards by a new problem.
Eye To The Stars
You have a strong and instinctive knowledge about the night sky, enough to be able to name any star someone points at, explain its mythological story, and tell people how far away it is. You can also use this gift as a +1 or +2 Tool bonus to Intentions that are strongly related to the sky and stars, but not directly about them (making horoscopes, for example, or divining the approach of the Prince of Cats.) Either approach costs you 1 MP.
You can also speak to the moon, stars, comets, clouds that float high above the world and other things of the night sky. They will generally help you to create whatever minor miraculous favors you want; a cloud might drift across the moon, or away from it, or the sky will seem to go on forever.
The Grasshopper's Song
You can, with a bit of effort, pass your carefree and easygoing attitude on to others. Once a chapter, you can spend 2 MP to create a strong, powerful feeling of freedom and ease. People will take their vacation days, leave their work, join the impromptu band that you're setting up, and not worry about their problems for a little while. You can even use this power to set free imprisoned people, with a bit of dream-logic and hand-waving, or pull apart obstacles or traps that keep people or things held down. This will generally last up to a day, although people with actual, urgent concerns will often start worrying about them in direct proportion to how big a deal they are; if someone's house is on fire, you're not going to get more than a couple minutes of calm contemplation out of them.
Divine Mantle
As a child of the Sun, your miracles are particularly miraculous. You may spend 1 MP to give yourself 1 Miraculous Edge for the rest of the scene.
Miraculous Abilities: The Shadow Of Her Death
You have recently been called back to Celestia, your mother's realm. It is under assault from a terrible creature created by her death - Eclipse, the Shadow of the Sun. You want to save the sky realm, but you don't think that you can face Eclipse alone, and so you search Town for possible solutions, while working on methods to draw Eclipse's attention away.
(Note: For the Properties of Celestia, please see Page 283 of "Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine".)
The Death of the Sun
You are a child of the night, and Eclipse brings a false night to the world. More than that, although you don't realize it yet, Eclipse is bound up and hiding within you, using you as its tool to assault your mother's legacy. Because of this hidden connection, you receive a free Level 2 Bond, [b]The Death of the Sun[/b]. This Bond ties you to Eclipse, and allows you to impersonate or mimic it, or register as it to magics that identify personhood.
A Dream of Freedom [Imperial]
In the night, while you work to protect Celestia or hide away in Town, you also manifest in your other Realm. A silver Mercedes pulls up, and you step out, ghostly and slightly indistinct, but basically real. You can use this power whenever it is night, or whenever you are sleeping, and because of your skill with dreams your dreamself is very nearly as real as you. Still, if you're doing something important, like saving someone or meeting your sister for the first time in years, you have an Obstacle 2 to your Intentions, because, well - this is hard. You can't overcome that Obstacle with Bonds, either, since your Superior Dreamer skill is already reducing it.
If someone tries to hurt you, and comes near success, your dreamself vanishes and you wake up.
Using this power more than once a night costs you 1 MP, and using it repeatedly in a scene costs 2 MP. For 4 MP, you can manifest multiple dream-selves wherever you want, although they're all still limited by your two Intention maximum.
Song of the Sky
When you play your guitar, you are capable of drawing on the strength of your mother's Realm, bringing the nature of Celestia into the world. Once per chapter, after playing music for a few minutes, you can apply one of Celestia's Region Properties on the area you happen to be in. You can spend MP to use this power more frequently, or spend 4 MP to create the region property from the first note you strum.
Prince of the Realm
Despite your long absence, you are still a prince of Celestia. You grew up there, you learned its ways and know its people. Whenever you are in Celestia, you can spend 1 MP to either create a bit of good fortune - running into an old friend, or realizing that you know the area that you're in well - or to give yourself a +2 Tool bonus to shape Celestia and its policies (you aren't actually very good at doing this yet, incidentally, since none of your skills apply well to rulership, but as your skills improve that might be a useful technique.)
You are a child of freedom, and locks, pathways, and the like are yours to command. Once per book, you can automatically succeed at any coincidental attempt to bypass a security system, find a hidden path, or similar effects (or you can spend 1 MP to use it once a chapter, or 2 MP to use it more often). After you activate your power, you can push the cost up to 4 MP to sustain the power for as long as you like, bypassing all obstacles and barriers to your journey.
In a really extreme situation, you could spend 8 MP and take a Deadly Wound, and unlock every lock, open every door, and clear every path in whatever Region you find yourself in. This is an Imperial Miracle, and a really big deal.
As a general side-rule, whenever you receive Emotion XP, something near you tends to unlock or open. This usually isn't a big deal, but can be played for either laughs or drama in appropriate situations.
Child of the Sun
You are a child of freedom, but also of the Hope that your mother represented, and you can nurture that hope in others. You can do this once a chapter for 1 MP, or more often for 2 MP per use. When you do this, there are two effects. First, your attempts to instill hope in someone (usually using your Big Brother skill) gain a +3 Tool bonus. On top of that, as long as you get a result of at least Intention 5, the effect of your Hope on your target can act like adding a point of a hope-related Issue (such as Calling or Hero).
The Treasures of the Sky [Imperial]
Once per book, you may spend 1 MP to enchant a person, creature, or object from Celestia, reinforcing it against the mundanity of the world. This removes any of the usual Obstacles to bring that thing to Town, taking a small sample of the magic of the sky Realm and showing it to the people. You can use this power to both reinforce and bring to Town someone or something from Celestia, up to the size of a small building. Using this power more than once in a book costs 2 MP.
Estrange [Major, Bleak]
While your music is playing, and the Principles of Celestia are taking root, you can direct it against a particular person or thing, filling them with the power of Hope and the sky. You have some control over the process, based on which Principle you invoke, what Intention you build, and how much ground-work you lay (having a song that's about what they're becoming and why is a good choice), but the end result is always that they become something attuned to, and a part of, the Sky-Realm. You can generally only focus on one person at a time, but you can manage a small group if they're all becoming something similar.
After you turn someone into a wind-spirit, or an angel, or a living ray of sunshine or what have you, you have to get them to go to Celestia, or else the effects will wear off by the end of the Book. You may use this power once per book. Using it again costs 2 MP.
Your Starting Quests
Basic Quest:
Arc Quest: Putting It Off
You've been putting off your destiny, but the world is conspiring to bring you back. Things are happening that remind you of the dangers facing your homeland, and you need to think about going back. This quest uses the framework of "Shadows of the Past", from the "Owning Yourself" quest set.

Importance of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, also known as Cobalamin, is a B vitamin necessary for cardiovascular and cognitive health. It is essential for DNA synthesis1 [natural or artificial creation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)] molecules, while it helps in the production of hemoglobin, improvement of nerve strength and regulation of homocysteine levels.2 B12 can also help support healthy cognitive function and energy levels.3
Many Are Deficient In This Essential Micro-nutrient
Unfortunately, the human body cannot produce this vitamin, and mainly depends on your diet to get ample supply. Vitamin B12 is naturally produced by anaerobic microorganisms commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of animals.4 This means that the majority of B12 sources are either meat or poultry products, which is why many vegetarians and vegans are typically lacking this nutrient. However, B12 deficiency is not only seen in those following a vegetarian diet. Data from the Tufts University Framingham Offspring Study5 suggest that 40 percent of people between the ages of 26 and 83 have plasma B12 levels in the low normal range – a range at which many experience neurological symptoms. 9 percent had outright deficiency, and 16 percent exhibited "near deficiency".
How to Help Prevent B12 Deficiency
Consume Whole Food Sources that Contain Vitamin B12
The best option would be to start getting this essential B vitamin from whole food sources. Animal products – whether dairy, poultry or meat – are excellent sources of vitamin B12. If you suspect that you're not getting enough vitamin B12 into your system, here are some food products that you should consider adding to your diet (just make sure that you're getting these from high-quality sources to keep yourself safe from chemicals and other harmful materials used in conventional farms):6
- Wild Caught Sardines
- Pasture-raised organic eggs
- Raw organic grass-fed milk
- Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon
- Grass-fed Beef
- Mussels
- Organic free-range chicken
- Wild caught Herring
Supplementing With Vitamin B12
For anyone in general, but especially for vegans or vegetarians. Another option, that in my opinion can be efficacious but not as beneficial as getting B12 from whole food sources, is to take a Vitamin B12 supplement. Some of the options for vegans and vegetarians include B12 capsules, sprays and B12 shots. However, you should pay attention to the type of B12 used in these products to make sure that you're getting the form your body needs. Two types of vitamin B12 available in the market are:7
- Cyanocobalamin, is the most popular type of vitamin B12 available because it's cheaper and easier to produce. Cyanocobalamin is normally synthesized in laboratories and does not naturally occur in the human body. Once it is introduced to your system, the body then converts it into methylcobalamin.
- Methylcobalamin, this type is said to be the active form of vitamin B12 and is able to remain in the body longer. I recommend looking for B12 supplements that use this type to make sure that your body absorbs the vitamin up front. It's the natural form of this vitamin, so the body isn't required to convert it to another form. It's more easily utilized and is more effective that cyanocobalamin.
Liposomal Methyl-B12, Possibly the Best Delivery System Available
Interestingly there is a way to make methylcobalamin even more bio-available or absorbable, up to 20x more than standard formulations! How is this done? To answer this in one word it comes down to – liposomes. Liposomes8 can be seen as natural, nano-scopic (very tiny) perfectly-sealed bubbles that encapsulate vitamins, such as B-12, in order to shield them from degrading elements in the environment and the digestive system. Because of their sub-microscopic size (again very tiny) and their composition, liposomes slip right through the digestive system unharmed and unchanged. This allows for greater absorbability and thus greater benefits. One company I know has patented their micelle liposomal delivery methods is Purathrive.9 Purathrive produces a Liposomal Methyl B12 spray10 that uses their patented delivery system which has been clinically proven to be 20x more absorbable than other standard formulations!8 Purathrive is also home to other supplements that use liposomes, for whomever may be interested.

In Missouri, over 51 percent of all divorces involve children. On average, over 11,000 kids are impacted by divorce each and every year in Missouri. Although sometimes divorce can be amicable and in everyone's best interest, it is more often a painful, contentious and life-changing event for parents and children alike.
Determining who the children will live with and arranging visitation with the noncustodial parent are critical aspects of successfully resolving any family dispute. The best interests of the children should always be taken into account — and their rights to have a healthy, happy life should be championed by an aggressive, zealous family law attorney with experience.
Helping You Do Right By Your Children
At The Law Offices of April S. Wilson, I am a family law attorney who cares deeply about your case. I believe they should be protected at all costs, and I use an assertive approach to reach those ends when necessary.
In custody and visitation cases I always fight fiercely for my clients, aggressively pursuing the best interests of both the child and the client. Factors I consider in developing a clear strategy for success in child custody disputes include:
- Your wishes and desires
- The children's feelings and preference
- The best interests of the children
- The financial means of both parents
- The children's educational and health care needs
- Whether there is a history of abuse or neglect
- Whether the other parent has any mental or physical health issues
- Whether the other parent has a history of chemical abuse
- Whether the other parent might relocate or abscond with the children
And in child visitation disputes, I will present a strong argument on behalf of my client on issues involving:
- The children's financial needs
- The parents' financial resources
- The standard of living to which the children are accustomed
- The children's physical and emotional conditions
- Specific details of the custody arrangement
- Quality parenting time historically spent with the children
Taking A Strong Stand For Your Rights
Whether you are just starting to think about issues involving child custody and visitation, or you are embroiled in a prolonged, conflict-filled battle regarding you children, I am a lawyer who can help you get what you deserve.
Feel free to reach out to me online to tell me about your issue, or call my offices in Memphis, Missouri, at 800-639-8870 to talk about your situation and hear how I can help you move forward in your life.

Designed primarily for undergraduate courses in gender and sport, sport sociology, socio-cultural sport studies, social problems in sport, and gender studies, Critical Perspectives on Gender and Sport provides an entry into the qualitative and quantitative study of gender and sport in North America and internationally. The essays present critical research, key issues, and theoretical developments on gender and sport related to four main themes, including: (i) sport and gender identity, (ii) gender, media, and sport, (iii) masculinity and sport, and (iv) gender resistance, conflict, and transformation in sport.
Despite increased case law and legal scholarship on the topic of law and sport, the precise role of law in the regulation of sport remains unclear and controversial in many circumstances. Fogel identifies several significant legal controversies surrounding national and international sport including sex verification testing, financial fair play rules, violence on the sport field, athlete image rights, doping control, and the fantasy sport industry. Fogel examines how these controversies have arisen, details the complications presented by competing regulations within law and sport, and makes recommendations for effectively addressing the conflicts in ways that are lawful, ethical, and beneficial to athletes, sport managers, team owners, spectators, and others involved in the sport industry.
This book is the first of its kind and within its covers are a collection of thirty six cutting-edge chapters by leading practitioners and academics who raise questions and provide answers regarding the broad relationship between sport, peace and development. In their writings they highlight the remarkable, but often unacknowledged, efforts which are being undertaken across the world to support people after natural disaster, wars, extreme poverty, and illness have ravaged their lives. Together, they clarify the meanings of sport and peace-making, sport and reconciliation and sport for development. The introduction of case studies from well-known organisations already working in the sport, peace and development realm is testimony that the book is not just of an academic nature but a text which provides ideas and innovations which can be used by future researchers and aspirants in the field.
The authors agree in concluding that there are aspects of the relationship between sport, peace and development which have largely gone unnoticed and tackle the difficult perspectives of stigma, marginalization, poverty, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, education, monitoring and evaluation, maintenance of quality and the influence and role of the 'big players' such as the International Olympic Committee and the united Nations in peace-making and development initiatives. In doing so they provide examples of good practice, strong programmes and make suggestions where the status quo needs to be addressed in order for the field to go forward.
This volume will be of great interest and value to academics working in the fields of sport, peace and development and international relations, as well as to undergraduate and graduate student in these disciplines. More importantly, it will also be a crucial aid and challenge to practitioners in international governmental organisations (such as the UN and its agencies) and NGOs who work in the field of sport, peace and development across the world.
Based on extensive multi-national and multi-lingual archival research, this book examines the evolution of scientific knowledge within the international anti-doping community that coalesced during the second half of the twentieth century. Two key figures from a group of leading scientific experts serve as the focal points of the investigation, British pharmacologist Arnold Beckett and German biochemist Manfred Donike. After supporting early anti-doping initiatives in the late 1960s and 1970s, they became highly influential in such leading sports organizations as the International Olympic Committee and the International Association of Athletics Federations. From the 1980s onward, the international sport system relied heavily on their network of anti-doping laboratory experts in maintaining and advancing a rigid testing regime. Hence, this book offers a nuanced analysis of the establishment of the structures and initiatives in the global fight against doping in sport.

This past Monday Mark started seventh grade! Hard to believe that my baby is in middle school. However, the school year has started well and Mark is getting himself up and seems to be engaged. One of his teachers asked that one of the parents write about their child to help her understand him better. She so doesn't know what she asking for!?!?!
Mark is our second child, born eight years after his brother Tim. Finding that I was pregnant with Mark was the first of many surprises. He surprised us by showing up three weeks earlier than expected. Although he looked so much like his big brother did, he was definitely a very different personality. From the beginning he needed little sleep and was in constant motion. (something he's just now grown out of!)
Although Mark didn't start talking as early as his brother when he started talking he gave us full sentences. He is very articulate and quite comfortable talking to children younger than himself as well as adults. Especially when he was younger he tended to have friends that were two years older than himself.
Mark ended up having the same teacher for both first and second grade. It was during second grade parent/teacher conference that we had the hard discussion about Mark's behavior. No matter how hard he tried or what discipline method was taken Mark couldn't sit still. He would ask to go and sit at the desk by itself so he could work, but within five to ten minutes he would be wandering the room socializing with everyone. There were other symptoms that indicated that Mark has ADHD. Thankfully, his doctor did a great job prescribing a medication that helped him mellow out, sit still, and focus without causing negative side effects.
Another thing that the doctor recommended was for Mark to be involved in team sports. For four years Mark participated in KARE Youth League. It was a great opportunity for him to participate in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and track. Although he was not a standout athlete he did excel at track and basketball. It was fun to watch him in basketball playing defense against other kids as they pushed each other back and forth.
Mark is artistic. He's done some beautiful work. From 2005 until 2010 he participated in the Young Rembrandts program through the school. In 2010 he started the Kids' Art program in Glendora. It has been amazing to see his growth as an artist. I need to update it but I have a website of his artwork at: http://markart.magnusonhouse.com This year at the LA County fair this piece will be displayed. I hope he gets positive affirmation on his work. As I mom I know I'm biased but I do believe he's amazing.
I think one of Mark's greatest strengths is his heart. He can be totally obnoxious, rude, crude and just socially unacceptable. But when it comes down to it, he has a soft heart for people and can be so very kind. In the last year or so he has become a much affection person. He cracks me up how he will hug people he's just met like he's known them forever. I love that about him! Though sometimes he just a little TOO social as I'm sure his teachers will see.
Some fast facts about Mark:
- His middle name was for his grandfather that he never got to meet: Ray
- His birthday is January 23
- He wears a size 10.5 shoe
- He loves computer games WAY too much
- He is writing a book and drawing characters for it
- He placed 2nd in the Youth State Bowling Tournament in Doubles in 2010 (we haven't gotten the results for 2011)
- He placed 1st in the Youth City Bowling Tournament in Team competition in 2011
There is so much more I could tell you about Mark, but a little mystery is good.

|Elder Warner and former Brave Mate Elder Lundquist in Background!
Before I share anything else, I just want to shout out to my parents and family for being the best in the world!!!! We were able to watch Meet the Mormons, and it impacted me a billion times more than when I saw it the first time before the mission. It's amazing how much differently we learn from things when our perspective changes! Watching the football coach's bio certainly made me yearn for home a little bit, and March Madness is right around the corner, but the examples of others and being able to see the blessings of the gospel all over the world is something that can motivate anybody to work harder to spread the gospel. I know this is where I'm supposed to be. I am so grateful for my family and the love they show me, and I'm grateful for this church and all of the amazing people who are disciples of Christ all around the world.
|I Believe I Can Fly!
The main focus of mission conference in Singapore was how we are increasing our faith. There were all types of trainings, talks, experiences, but most of them I cannot adequately share because of time limitations and my inability to convey my thoughts. Basically, I wanted to share two main thoughts with you all. The first thing that I realized last week is how important it is to be desperate. I used to think that desperation meant being out of control and going crazy, but I now believe that we should make an effort to be more desperate. When we are desperate we are willing to do all that it takes. We are willing to give all that we have, and we also realize that there's no way we can do it on our own. As a result we turn everything over to the Lord and act in faith. I would invite all of us to continue to ponder about how we can be more desperate to gain faith in the Lord and His Atonement in order to become His hands.
|Elder Chin in Singapore
I would also remind all of you that without patience we have no faith. This is a tough concept for me to understand, because I often get frustrated when I don't see immediate results or what I expect to happen. I promise that Heavenly Father does know us better than we know ourselves. We must trust Him, continue working to receive answers and help, and show patience. Patience has no expiration date.
Last week, I prayed harder than I ever have for certain things and for certain changes. I did my best to share with Heavenly Father my desires to help others, and then I got off my knees and worked as hard as possible. One struggle that Elder Chin and I have been having is finding new investigators that want to learn and progress. No matter who we teach, the people just aren't keeping commitments or wanting what we're sharing.
|Braves - Sister Kitchen and Elder Lundquist
Yesterday at church, an investigator showed up with a 19 year old man from Germany who was only staying in Tawau for Sunday while he waited for a visa. They met on the street, and the investigator offered to take him to church to meet two other guys who spoke English (us)! This young man turned out to have a great desire for the gospel. I was able to share my testimony and the Book of Mormon with him before he travelled on to Indonesia. Even though I won't have the opportunity to continue teaching him, I know that he was an answer to my prayer to find someone who is ready for the gospel.
I am so grateful for this gospel, and I am so grateful to have the faith and hope that we have a Heavenly Father. I am so grateful to know my purpose and to have this joy in my life. Thank you all for your prayers and examples! I love you all!!!
Love, Elder Lloyd

As I told you earlier, I finally got my River Island order. I really love everything I got and I cant wait for the summer to arrive so I can show off on the beach with my beautiful new sandals and bikinis.
Yesterday it was Mothers Day. We went to a very beautiful park called Aurooran puisto or Träskändan puisto (puisto=park).
It's the prettiest park I've seen in Finland though it isn't special compared with for example Hyde park (or the parks in Japan <3_<3)
We took some blankets and board games with us.
We played this game where you had to draw and the others had to guess what you were drawing.
It was the first time this year I was sunbathing.
In the evening I decided that I wanted to wear my blazer on Monday. I had used it only one time before..
Its still too cold so I didn't wear my River Island sandals =(
So today I looked like this!
Thanks for Anniliina for the pictures
Hmm I can't stand why the pics are so blurry..

We've mentioned previously that Microsoft's new security suite, Windows Live OneCare, is not faring well in reviews. Add one more as the folks at agnitum (which does offer a competing firewall) put the OneCare firewall through its paces. Hit the link for the technical details, but here's the punch line:
Although the program is very intuitive, nice to look at, and easy to use – which is good for the program's target audience of inexperienced users – its functionality is a big let-down and does not serve that inexperienced user audience well. It reminds us of those a colorful and feature-rich Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) with nothing behind them that you sometimes see at exhibitions, because the vendors couldn't finish the whole program in time. Microsoft OneCare needs a serious overhaul before it can be considered anything more than just a fancy interface with no real security under the hood.
Ouch! While I don't necessarily buy in to all the issues raised, check this out:
After OneCare has worked for a couple of hours and created a reasonable-sized database of application access rules, we subjected the firewall to a slate of leaktests intended to verify how the program would protect users against imaginary malware attempts to upload data from the host computer. The results were very poor, with the OneCare firewall passing only the most basic and simple leaktests and failing the rest. Amusingly, it treated leaktests as if they were normal Windows Explorer (explore.exe), Internet Explorer and other credible applications widely used on a Windows-based computer, failing to detect the tests' tendency to imitate, implant its code in, or hijack a credible application on which behalf it subsequently gained access credentials.
The implications of this poor performance are far-reaching: any competent piece of malware would have no problem stealing data from a PC 'protected' by OneCare, and the firewall uttered not a single peep to prevent this from happening.
Sounds like Microsoft has got some work to do.
Solid state, non volatile disk storage replacement has been a dream for a lot of years and while flash disks are finally killing the floppy, advances in hard disk technology have always kept the price per byte low enough that solid state didn't have much leverage except for special use devices. That may be starting to change as laptop manufacturers have started introducing new models with flash disks instead of hard drives in some notebook models. Martyn Williams at PCWorld:
Sony will replace hard disks with flash memory when it launches a new model of its Vaio U laptop next week, it said today (June 27 – ed.).
Flash has long been eyed as a potential replacement for hard drives because it is lighter, runs silently, offers faster data access, and uses less power, but price has always been an obstacle.
The Vaio UX90 will come with 16GB of flash memory storage in place of the 30GB hard drive on the original model. It will cost around $1805, or about $345 more expensive than the disk-based model, and go on sale in Japan on July 3.
The UX Micro PCs look like a PDA on steroids, but they run Widows XP Professional and regular Windows applications as well as having some media player functionality.
Samsung Electronics launched a couple of PCs with flash storage earlier this month. The Q30 laptop and Q1 ultra mobile PC both use Samsung's "solid state disk," which packs 32GB of NAND flash memory into a case the same size as a 1.8-inch hard drive.
The Q1 is Samsung's entry in the oddball Origami (AKA UMPC) tablet PC form factor developed by Microsoft and Intel, while the Q30-SSD (Solid State Drive) is a regular laptop:
Sammy just announced that their sweet, sweet NAND-based Q30-SSD we first got down and dirty with at CeBIT will hit the shelves in Korea (only) from early June onward. Yeah, it'll fetch a steep $3,700 US-equiv (a roughly $900 premium) on that aging 1.2GHz Celeron M Q30 platform, but that 32GB of NAND reads 300 percent faster (53MB/s) and write 150 percent quicker (28MB/s) than normal hard drives while offering better protection against shock, 25-50% faster boots and sleep recovery times, longer battery life and reduced weight all in a completely silent, fanless package. Hoozah!
To which, I guess I have to add, ouch! The prices still have a way to go to attract the average consumer. More on Samsung's solid state hard drive here.
Greg Sandoval at ZDNet:
Warner Bros. Entertainment on Monday began selling full-length feature films and TV shows over the Internet via Guba, one of a legion of companies presenting amateur-videos on the Web.
Guba customers can rent a film for $1.79 per day or pay $9.99 to own an older title. Newer movies cost $19.99 (actually TV shows rent for $1.79 and movies for $1.99 a day – ed.). All the content is protected by Microsoft-developed digital rights management software, the companies said.
The agreement is the latest sign that at least some in Hollywood may be ready to deal with Internet sites that some in the movie business consider a threat. Warner Bros. last month announced that it had chosen file-sharing technology from BitTorrent to distribute films.
The difference is that the Guba content can be copied to DVDs:
Under the Guba-Warner Bros. agreement, people will be able to make a copy of a video onto a DVD, but, because of industry licensing agreements, it can only be played on the computer from which it was burned. Wuthrich said he hopes consumers will be able to watch the copied DVDs with a DVD player within a year or so.
while purchases from BitTorrent cannot be copied to DVDs at all.
For Guba, the partnership is a coup. Like most other competitors in the video-sharing space, Guba has seen its public profile eclipsed by the juggernaut, YouTube. Thomas McInerney, the Guba's CEO, said he hopes the Warner Bros. partnership will help the company stand apart from rivals.
There is some interesting background on Guba by following the link, but the bigger story is studios embracing download services in the apparent hope that the widespread availability of legal content will cut down on piracy. It might even work.
Note that Warner Bros. did a separate deal with corporate cousin AOL for distributing old TV shows for free.
Update 8/23: This post was heavily revised.

Have you ever had a fantastic gel or cream liner dry up on you in the pot? I recently had this problem with my Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner but I wasn't ready to throw it away just yet because it wasn't old. I thought about how I could salvage the liner and make it better because it was becoming very hard to work with. It was too dry and made my liner brush skip and tug at my lids.
Then, it hit me..maybe I could use something to "whip" the gel liner into a more moussey consistency! That would definitely make the product easier to use!
At first I thought I would use a toothpick, but I only had wooden ones and the last thing I wanted was little splinters in my gel liner! So, I got out my sewing kit and grabbed the biggest sewing needle I had. Then all I had to do was swirl the needle around in the eyeliner pot in a motion as if I were scrambling eggs. Once I did that, the product had a much softer and lighter consistency that made application a breeze. I honestly think this process made the liner better, and I'll likely do this as soon as I open a new pot from now on!

We run a dw8 on a dry track too, and you may try raising the LR trailing arm one hole up on the frame. If you are running a pull bar, maybe you can lower it one or two holes on the frame, we tried this last nite during the feature, and had plenty of bite coming off the corners, and down the straits...we just ran out of gear. Hope that helps a little.

Important Knowledge of LED Display
1. What is a matrix?
The matrix of a particular exterior-use electronic display refers to the number of vertical pixels by the number of horizontal pixels in the display. For example, if a display has a matrix of "200 by 704", this means it has 200 pixels from top to bottom and 704 pixels from left to right. In video applications, much like your television set, these numbers might be reversed. For instance, a high-definition TV today is commonly referred to as "1920 by 1080", where 1920 represents pixels from left to right, and 1080 represents pixels from top to bottom.
2. What is a pixel?
A pixel is a cluster of LEDs (one red, one blue and one green on a Prismview display) which, as a component of the overall image, represents one point of illumination. The combination of these individual levels of the three colors forms the display image.
3. How bright can LED displays get?
LED displays vary in 'absolute maximum brightness' by pitch. The quality of diode used in a display can have a dramatic impact on brightness as well. Prismview uses top quality diodes from major world-renown companies to ensure displays that are more than bright enough to compete with ambient sunlight.
4. What kinds of files can be used on Prismview displays?
BMP, uncompressed AVI, WMV and JPG files all work well. JPG are the most commonly used.
5. Does Prismview offer proof-of-performance?
Yes. With proof-of-performance, display operators have the ability to generate reports summarizing play counts and date ranges. You can customize reports for each of your advertisers, providing POP reports within a variety of parameters.

Package Magic Suite
Package Magic is a suite of tools for site owners and developers who use packages. Once Package Magic is installed, you can forget about the inconvenience of using your development system file manager and zip tools, the CLI, and FTP or SSH to generate and deploy packages. Package Magic enables you to do everything from the dashboard.
Package Magic brings convenience and speed to zipping new versions of your packages and deploying them to your websites or the concrete5 marketplace. If you save 10 or 15 minutes for each package update, those minutes soon add up to hours or even days saved when put into the context of a large web site development project
Package Magic begins with Package Magic Starter, a package uploader that you can use from within the concrete5 dashboard to manually install or update a package. Package Magic Starter provides the usual browser file upload dialog and checks packages for a range of common problems.
For more control over the upload process and how packages are checked, the full version of Package Magic can be installed on-top of Package Magic Starter to extend the capabilities. With the full version of Package Magic, each check made on the zip archive can be individually controlled. You can also specify your own checks using *glob* matching patterns and exclude files from checks, such as a vendor directory.
The range of package sources is extended:
- File upload (extends the capabilities provided by Package Magic Starter)
- Copying archives from a file path or URL
- From the concrete5 file manager
- From a local structured repository
- Direct from the concrete5 PRB (for PRB members only)
The full Package Magic can also do the other half of the process, taking a package installed or awaiting installation and bundling it up into an installable package zip archive. Packages can then be 'downloaded' to package destinations:
- Direct download
- Save to a file
- Save to the concrete5 file manager,
- Save to a local repository directory organised by package and version number.
You have full control over what does and doesn't get included in a package archive by simple checkbox and file path-matching rules.
To help you prepare packages, Package Magic provides a suite of Package Build Tools.
Package Sources, Destinations and Tools use a fully plugable architecture, allowing for easy extension of Package Magic with your own plugins or customised versions of existing plugins.
Package Magic is licensed under a modified Concrete5 Marketplace License.

Nature inspires unique jewelry creations
PEPIN, Wis. — When Rebecca Paquette Johnson goes for a walk in her neighborhood, she's interested in more than just fresh air and exercise.
She's looking for a small branch, a tiny seed, a new blossom that might be the key to a unique piece of jewelry.
"I look at the fine, minute details in the flora," she said. "Sometimes it's very fleeting. I want to find the bud when it is just the right size."
When something catches her eye, she pauses "to figure it out. Why did that make me stop and look? I try to dissect the beauty."
To illustrate her careful selections, she held up a bracelet with a curved section cast from a twig. She pointed to the details along the sides.
"The veins in the branch would be hard to duplicate, but Mother Nature does it so well," she noted. "If this were just round wire, it would be boring."
Creating the jewelry is part of the process for Johnson, but she also enjoys the moment of showing it to an interested customer.
"With my art, I look closely at nature," she said. "I love bringing that to the attention of people. It's art in the smallest detail, and it is what many people walk right past."
As the owner of BNOX Jewelry for 23 years, Johnson, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, ran it as a consignment retail store near the Harbor View cafe close to the marina in Pepin. She worked with 75 to 150 artists.
She liked the location because "people came to Harbor View to eat an artistic meal, then they came to look at the jewelry. They were happy. They were the perfect customers."
However, it didn't leave much time for her own jewelry work or time with her family, so she recently moved her studio into the lower level of her home at 108 Cedar St. in Pepin.
Judy Knose, of Wabasha, has been a friend of Johnson for 27 years. Knose has traveled extensively to such places as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and elsewhere to sell "beautiful and majestic" stones to designer artists and jewelers.
"I especially like to work with stones that are unusual," she said, "not run-of-the-mill. When you take that stone and build something around it, it comes from the heart."
Knose said that buying jewelry allows people to take home a piece of a place they have visited.
"Jewelry is often about celebrating moments," Johnson added. "Who knew that jewelry was such a happy field of art to be in?"
Johnson and Knose are looking forward to the Fresh Art Tour June 1-3, featuring 13 locations in western Wisconsin. Visitors can stop by artists' studios and see them at work, talk with them, and buy their works. More information on the Fresh Art Tour is available at https://www.freshart.org/.
Joining Johnson and Knose at BNOX Studio during the Fresh Art Tour will be Lori Braun, Margaret Dittrich, Mary Opatz Herges, and Monica Hansmeyer.

Everybody Dreams of being an Entrepreneur, owning a Successful business. For every start-up, money is the life blood and at some or the other point you need to infuse certain amount into your business to grow it. Whether you are seeking few lakhs from your friends/relative or huge lump sum amount through any venture capital firm, you need to do your homework very well before approaching them. AppiqoTechnologies is a Leading Mobile Application Development company inIndia.
1- Be Open to change- As we talk to any start-up be open to change, Every Entrepreneur Should be open to change from other experienced ideas. There really is no such thing as too much communication. In a start-up, the atmosphere is perfect for communicating because startups and their employees are typically a small, tight-knit group who are all invested in how the company is succeeding… or not. In a group that is small and works closely together, communication is also most important to talk with everyone in a team. Be ready for changes in an office, in a team, even for challenges.
2- Use Technology to your Advantage- Cloud computing is one aspect of technology that you can use to keep your start-up agile in the long run. The cloud offers affordable options and gives companies a reach that they wouldn't have been able to achieve without its boost. Since many startups don't hold employees to traditional working hours, the cloud is an excellent way for employees to stay in touch and communicate when they aren't in the office. In addition, combining big data with the cloud allows businesses to have storage within the cloud and employ CRM software and Cloud on any device, anywhere.
3- Leave Investment for Later- Looking for money at an early stage in your Company life is a really not good idea for entrepreneur. You should only look for outside investments once you've proven the concept of your start-up.
4- Motivate a Team - Team plays a very important role in building or growing any venture. Without team, you will be like a ship without the rudder. So, every entrepreneur needs to build a strong team by putting them together and by filling all the gaps between them. A strong team is the key driving force in seeking funds from the investors. You should motivate your team with a period of time, and organise some Competition between Two Teams.

For a Special Occasion
Today was a special one for our family and well we had a good time.
"A relationship is like a rose. How long it lasts, no one knows. Love can erase an awful past, love can be yours, you'll see at last. To feel that love, it makes you sigh. To have it leave, you'd rather die. You hope you've found that special rose, cause you love and care for the one you choose"
It's Canvas Love
I love my All Star…
P.S. I want to own all the possible colors available.
