Nowadays is easy to find a board with more than two ports. For a box with 4 gigabit ports, one used as WAN, others act as as LAN as if they are all part of a switch. Bridging is a good way to go.
A bridged interface is one that can filter traffic without pfSense being involved in the IP layer of the connection. This is commonly referred to as a "transparent firewall".
pfSense box with multiple NICS; 1 for Wan, others for Lans (two or more).
What we will get:
i port as 1 WAN, Others as LAN.
Step 1: Assign an individual IP for all NICs by going to 'Interfaces → Assign'. Important!
Note: Only set up a IPv4 address for each NIC.
Step 2: Set up DHCP on NIC1 by going 'Services → DHCP server'
Step 3: Bridge other NICs by going to 'Interfaces → Assign → Bridges' and set up an IP for the interface.
Note: Do not include WAN and NIC1.
Step 4: Create a interface groups by going to 'Interfaces → Assign → Interface Groups'.
Note: Include all NICs and Bridge interface in "Member (s)", do not include WAN.
Step 5: Change the default firewall rule under NIC1 to all NICs interfaces to avoid being locked out by going to 'Firewall → Rules'
Note: Change the Interface from NIC1 to the Interface groups which is created in Step 4.
Step 6: Enable DHCP on the bridge interface by going to 'Services → DHCP server'.
Step 7: Disable DHCP on NIC1 by going to 'Services → DHCP server' and include NIC1 into the bridge which is set up in Step 3 by going to 'Interfaces → Assign → Bridges'.
Step 8: reboot and test.

A Daily Dose of Dieting
Dark Circles be Gone
Good morning, did you sleep well? To be honest, me either. And to imagine how I am when I wake up this early, think of a zombie. The only difference is that my life force is coffee instead of brains. So, are dark circles bothering you? Don't worry, I have a secret for you, something that will make you look as good as new. It's not gonna work right now, so you will still need to wear concealer today, but tomorrow, or whenever you don't get enough sleep, everything's gonna be alright if you listen to me. Yes, you heard me! Coconut oil baby! It will work wonders for your eyes, and all you have to do is apply a thin layer all around your eyes, and let it sit there all night. You'll wake up looking all fresh and rested, and your eye area will be super hydrated. The tiny box is just something I keep my coconut oil in, so it's easier to use. It tends to solidify when it's kept somewhere not very hot, so I find it super comfortable to use it out of the box, rather than out of the bottle. It's solid most of the times, so it would also be a waste of time to heat it every time I want to use it. Not to mention that I can never get the right amount from the bottle, it always leaks a whole lot more. Did you try the coconut oil around your eyes? Did it work just as great for you too?

Cabbage soup Diet in a Pill?
The recently released "Cabbage soup diet pill" claims to "make the cabbage soup diet 17 times more effective, 3 times more affordable, and 100 times more hunger-proof". But can people really lose weight using cabbage soup diet pills instead of following the oldest diet in the book? We all know the cabbage soup diet works. It has been around for years and is still to this day used by celebrities looking to drop pounds quickly. But anyone who has ever tried the cabbage soup diet also knows how difficult it is to stick to. Not only is the diet extremely limited, most people complain that eating cabbage soup for every meal of every day gets real old, real quick. So... can this new pill give people the weight loss benefits without the hassle? We asked cabbage soup diet expert Katie May to review this new revolutionary diet pill to get the truth. "There is no pill, no matter how potent it may be, that will replace the effects of actually sticking to the cabbage soup diet", says Smith, "but I am very impressed with way this cabbage soup diet pill was created.
The ingredients can curve your appetite and make you feel full as well helping to detoxify your body". But one major difference with this new cabbage soup diet pill is that dieters do not have to stick to a rigid diet plan. "The old cabbage soup diet required that you only eat fruit and the soup the first day, only vegetables and soup the second day. It is a very difficult diet to stick to, but with the cabbage soup diet pill there is no recommended diet to follow. This can be a good thing for people who would rather choose what foods they consume on their own, and if they make responsible choices they will be able to lose weight", says Smith. "But while this pill can be very beneficial to aid weight loss, it is not a miracle pill. It will be difficult to lose weight with this cabbage soup diet pill if you are still binge eating on fat and greasy foods".

Although it's a wonder of nature, this plant must be avoided by the pregnant women because of the uterine contractions that can cause. Chamomile can have serious side effects if it's combined with certain medications. The main side effects are nausea and vomiting and can be observed to the people who take higher than recommended doses of the herb.

Wholesale prices are a beautiful thing. Setting up accounts with different suppliers usually takes one or two phone calls or emails and filling out a customer application. It will take a little more time and a little more paperwork if you are setting up an account on credit. Cash accounts are typically approved within a couple of days. Most suppliers will require that you send them a copy of your seller's permit and there are some suppliers that will require that your licensing process with the TTB is complete before they will sell you any goods.

The art of acid-tounging uniforms is a SportsGrid pastime, one which we take seriously. So when the Pittsburgh Steelers wore those atrocious bumblebee costumes on Sunday night, it got us thinking: what are some other terrible uniforms?
It turns out that most of the worst uniforms are simply modern throwbacks, because most older uniforms were much simpler in color scheme and generally lacking in creativity. Not ugly, per se, but just kind of blah. So here's what most cultivates our acid tongues, 10 of the worst uniforms in NFL history.

Protein-rich Breakfast #12: Part of the protein-rich breakfast dozen:
- 1 block firm tofu
- 2 to 3 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon tamari soy sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon umeboshi vinegar
- Dash of black pepper
How to: Press tofu to remove excess water — I usually do this by placing the block between 2 dinner plates and resting a tea kettle filled with water on top of the top plate for about 30-45 minutes. When I come back to it, I remove the tea kettle and tip the plates over the sink to drain out the excess liquid. Once the excess liquid is removed, crumble the tofu into small pieces. Heat olive oil in a frying pan.
- Add tofu, tamari and turmeric and s
- auté for 5 minutes.
- Add onion, red pepper, paprika, umeboshi vinegar and black pepper.
- Cook for 5 more minutes or until mixture thoroughly heated.
Garnish with alfalfa sprouts or fresh parsley.
This tofu scramble recipe was made available compliments of www.integrativenutrition.com, where I was trained as a health coach in 2009.

Frida with Cactus
I really like my new Frida painting. She is setting out the cactus in the sunshine. The cat isn't thrilled with her choice of plants. Kitty prefers something easier to munch on.
I like it when I can make the character in the painting "do" something. It's like playing dolls. I get to have my own little make-believe world.
"Frida with Cactus" is up for grabs on ebay.

text: 3rd Nov 10:03 Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corp, a small Ohio-based manufacturer that employs just 17 people, claims its website became a victim of YouTube's success after being engulfed by 68 million hits in August. It says the cost of maintaining its own website - utube.com - exploded from $19 a month to more than $3,000 a month after users mistook it for youtube.com. Ralph Girkins, Universal Tube's president told Times Online: "We tried to talk to YouTube, but there wasn't very much conversation at all. I'm leaving it to the lawyers now." His company this week filed a lawsuit in the US District Court, demanding that YouTube either abandon the youtube.com domain name, or stump up the cost of finding an alternative to utube.com, which it claims predates the video-sharing site by a decade. The issue highlights the bandwidth costs facing YouTube, which Google has agreed to buy for $1.65 billion in shares. YouTube is yet to post a profit but analysts estimate that the site, which downloads more than 100 million videos a day, has had to pay at least $1 million (£524,000) a month to make its content accessible. When millions of visitors mistakenly opted to go to utube.com, a portion of those costs were transferred to Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment, whose site suddenly became one of the most popular manufacturing destinations on the web. The legal wrangle is the latest in a string to hit YouTube, which has faced action from a number of content owners who have alleged the site is hosting pirated material. In Britain, the Premier League is taking action to prevent clips of football matches being posted on the site. YouTube recently pulled down around 30,000 clips after being asked to by copyright owners in Japan. This week, Comedy Central, the US television group behind the The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report and South Park, became one of the latest content owners to demand that YouTube remove thousands of clips of its material from the site. Comedy Central has its own website, Motherload, where viewers can access material from its shows. It also sells programmes through Apple's online store, iTunes. The move has sparked a debate among analysts on whether YouTube would be able to survive without the kind of "watercooler" clips that have played a large part in its meteoric rise. Many have suggested that Google has massively overpaid for the two-year-old company. However, reports have since suggested that Comedy Central owner Viacom has relented on the request, allowing shorter clips to remain on YouTube, prompting speculation that Viacom and Google are exploring ways to win advertising revenues from the web. Such a move would underscore the growing power of online video services as consumers alter their viewing habits and advertisers follow them by moving away from traditional broadcasters. Viacom told the industry news website Red Herring.com: "We want our audiences to be able to access our programming on every platform and we're interested in having it live on all forms of distribution in ways that protect our talented artists, our loyal customers and our passionate audiences." Piracy is a problem across the so-called web 2.0 sector, of which YouTube has been a posterchild. Earlier this week, MySpace.com, the social networking site said it had licensed technology from Gracenote, the online music database, which will aim to block copyrighted tracks being posted on its site. YouTube has said it is exploring a similar system and has also forged agreements that allow it to carry copyrighted content legally in return for a portion of its advertising revenues.

Braids and ball caps
Hair bows and stuffed animals
Flower crowns and chipped nail polish
Lover of all things bright and beautiful
Adventures and staying up reading past bedtime
Owner of scraped knees
Porcelain figurines
And worlds created in her imagination
When did you trade the books and toys in your backpack
For the weight and burden of the world?
The one with the caged and wary heart
You're a little weighted down
With lies and tears and promises that weren't kept
Shackles around your ankles
The burden of shattered trust
Did you know those places that seem beyond repair?
Those places..yes, girl, those
Those are the exact same places
That the light gets in and grows
The seeds planted in your soul
I know what you're thinking
How can something that hurts so bad
Ever be turned into anything resembling good?
But I know you
Because I am you
I know the nights you've spent
Sobbing into your pillow
The victim of your own unrelenting thoughts
The days that the hustle of going through the motions
Was enough to send your head spinning
Shaking hands with 'braveheart' written across your palms
Tigress earning her stripes
I know how hard you have fought
To never, ever let the battle make you
Anything, but soft
She who has galaxies in her eyes
The one with a nuclear warhead for a brain
Raging hurricane in the place of your soul
Yes, you, darling, you
Are a mountain shaker
Because you belong to the One
Who casts them into the sea on your behalf
Do you know how bright you shine
Each and every time you reflect
The light of the Morning Star Himself?
Do you know your own preciousness?
That which is Divine became that which is human
In order to not only partake in your brokenness
But free you from it as well?
Do you know how brave you are?
How strength drips from your fingertips
As you sit with a pen and a page
Writing out the psalms of your broken heart?
When you could feel the first cracks of your hopes and dreams
About to avalanche around you
And the tears were streaming down
And you whispered, "Thy will be done,"
You positioned yourself in the safest and most glorious place
On either side of eternity
The next morning
As you began praying for someone else who was hurting
And His voice interrupted you with the reminder,
"I AM close to the brokenhearted."
Pulled you close and invited you to be filled up
Before you began pouring out
And suddenly, your pain didn't seem so overwhelming
Because you realized you weren't alone
Yeah, maybe he left
Took advantage of your gentle heart
Emotionally manipulated you while having the audacity to call it love
And it scares you that something could feel so real
Yet be so far from the truth
But what have you to fear when Love Himself knows you by name?
When He who is Love
Never leaves
Never forsakes
Never abandons
Always pursues
You claimed you were a fool
But aren't we all fools in love?
And if your greatest crime was loving too much
What have you to be sorry for?
Don't let this destroy you
That boy was broken so he did broken things
But you're broken, too
And that can only be fixed by the One
Who was broken to make us whole
You loved and you lost
But if you bow out with grace
Can you ever really lose?
You have a fire inside you
Somewhere deep in your chest
It cannot be quenched by temporary people
Not if you choose to keep the flames lit
You have fought hard battles before
Bruised and bleeding, you have carried on
Step by agonizing step until you saw peace again
You'll make it out of this just fine
You are a royal Daughter of the Most High
And you deserve a love that treats you as such
A love that would go through hell for you
A love that would cross oceans for you
A love like the One who went to the grave and back again
Just to have you by His side
Do you hear me?
You already have a Love you can never be separated from
Not by darkness, not by principalities, or even the powers of hell
So, girl, listen-
Anything less is only a counterfeit
Wait for this love
Give this love
Be this love
Because I AM does not give His heart in pieces
And neither should you
Hey, guys! I wanted to include a link to one of my favorite worship videos of all time...it just seems so fitting in this month that seems to focus on commercialized love..to remind ourselves of our One True Love, Jesus...His love is not broken, not insecure, not fragile, not the restless kind..take a listen xx

Unexpected Hero(1)
The free city 'Demidera' was not involved with any country, and literally it was a 'free neutral city.' The other three big countries also admitted the necessity of Demidera, so the city had existed as a neutral city for hundreds of years.
"Come this way."
The 'Mayor' of Demidera, Engolo, lead the embassy of Greenriver himself. The great merchants were the nobles of the free city, and they voted for the Mayor every 6 years, and Engolo was elected as the 19th Mayor.
(ED Note: wtf are these names, McGedie, Engolo… sounds like gigolo??)
"What about the other embassies?"
"We lead them to each guest mansion."
Demidera remained neutral with the support of the three countries. Of course, they had luxurious guest mansions for each country. It was superior to most of the giant luxurious mansion in the continent, 20 percent of the city's budget was used for maintaining such guest mansions.
"You may use this guest mansion. And for His Highness the Crown Prince, please use that special mansion over there. It's only for the most precious guest."
(ED Note: rip forgot if it was highness for prince and majesty for emperor… Is that right?)
Indeed, there was the biggest and the most luxurious mansion, compared to the other mansions. The Crown Prince looked at the mansion.
"Hmm. Not bad, indeed."
Satisfied, the Crown Prince nodded.
He would stay there for a week, and it was quite an outstanding mansion.
"Hey, Tower Lord. Are there any other schedules for a while?"
The Crown Prince asked the Tower Lord.
His unique arrogance had come back.
"Until the council, we don't have any specific schedules."
"Hmm, is that so?"
While touching his chin, he smiled. There were many days still left until the council. He was looking forward to enjoying all the entertainment of the free city.
"Good. Everyone take a rest. Ian, you come with me. Come on."
After that, the Crown Prince headed to the inner side of the great mansion, followed by Ian, Oliver, the 2nd royal knights and servants.
"Tower Lord."
After a while, the 5th prince Ragnar called the Tower Lord.
His voice was in a little bit of a hurry, and a very tiny expression that most people wouldn't recognize.
"Yes, your Highness."
Ragnar went into the guest mansion.
The Tower Lord followed him quietly.
They needed a place for their secret conversation.
"I won't blame you for this."
That was Ragnar's first words after arriving in the room.
'This' meant Ian's unexpected interruption.
"But, the mage who sticks next to my brother,"
Ragnar also had been looking forward to this council.
It was his political debut stage. While the idiot Crown Prince was wasting this precious chance, he planned to become a hero of this council. However, an unexpected interruption had just appeared at the last moment.
"He keeps making me uncomfortable. This time again, I feel something bad about him."
"I understand."
The Tower Lord agreed.
He also felt uncomfortable about Ian, especially today.
"However, do not worry too much. Ian Page has great magical talent indeed, but we are dealing with diplomacy here."
Ian was only 17 years old. He was not royalty, nor a noble. Although he showed many unexpected achievements, but diplomacy was out of his profession. Where he could learn the art of diplomacy?
"There are very little things that he could do with magic. He wouldn't have a chance to speak. Even if he has a chance, he will have nothing to tell. What can that little boy think of?"
Archmages invited to the council were just decoration, a decoration to show off each country's magical power. Only the Tower Lord might have a chance to speak.
"All processes and results of diplomacy are decided by speeches and plans. Your highness, you will be the hero of this council as you have prepared."
The Tower Lord also felt uncomfortable and anger in his mind, but they had planned this for many years. The empire of the Ivory Tower, its key was the 5th prince. The Tower Lord tried not to sway the 5th prince's mind.
"Sigh, I see. I see, but still his existence makes me feel uncomfortable. As soon as possible, deal with him, please."
During past the 5 years, Ragnar's hatred towards Ian had grown like a snowball. He tried many things to persuade Ian, but every time he failed. Most of the time, he didn't even have a chance to say hello to Ian.
'You dare ignore me?'
Ragnar's surface characteristic was artificially made by himself. Talented, but gentle and kind, a prince who planned to be a great Emperor. Until he had social power, he decided to live like that. However, the bastard ,Ian, drew out his true characteristics for the first time.
"Eliminate him, by any means necessary,"
"Do not worry about him as well."
The Tower Lord had prepared many things since 5 years ago, to obtain the dangerous weapon called Ian Page. From dark magic, incantation of shamans, to various voodoos from far away continents.
"Soon, it will be done as you wish."
"That's good to hear."
While the Tower Lord and 5th prince were having a secret conversation, Ian went into the great mansion with the Crown Prince. It was nothing inferior to the mansion Ian received from the Emperor.
"Let's see. As I know, Demidera's night street festivals are quite fascinating, it must be so fun. Haha!"
The Crown Prince's mind was already full of playing. He had no awareness of the responsibility of the council. If the Emperor saw him, it would make him sigh, and Ian and Oliver felt same.
'No way.'
It would be Ragnar's debut stage, and the start of the Crown Prince's fall. Although it was a few years earlier than his former life, its essence was the same.
'Dividing the army power of the conquest, and perfectly dividing territory and aboriginal slaves.'
Ragnar created many benefits for the Greenriver Empire through this council in his former life. In addition, he solved the tricky problem of dividing territory. It must be similar to his former life.
'Only if I let him do so.'
Of course, Ian wouldn't let him do that. He would do his best to prevent Ragnar from receiving any credit. To do that,
'I need that idiot.'
Although it had been 5 years, the Crown Prince was still an idiot. However, he was the only chess piece that Ian had. Although he wasn't a good chess piece, Ian had no choice. The Crown Prince had an authority to speak first among this embassy.
After sighing, Ian approached the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince already had ordered a few servants to investigate details of nearby entertaining points and foods, while giving a lot of money to their hands.
"I need to sneak out, so bring me some cloths to cover myself. No luxury decorations, it will reveal me too easily. The most normal cloth you can find, okay?"
"Your highness."
"Ah! And you guys know that I hate red color, right?"
"Your highness."
"Huh? Why, Ian?"
Finally the Crown Prince looked at Ian.
His eyes were full of innocence.
"You can't go out anywhere."
"What? Why? We still have a lot of time….."
"You had to prepare."
"We can prepare for next few da……"
"We have to start right now."
Ian nailed him. He never allowed the Crown Prince to make any excuses. Others wouldn't dare to reply to him like that, but only Ian could.
"It is you who has authority to speak first among the embassy. If you can't say anything, the 5th prince will intercept your chance."
"My father has already told me…"
"Being honest, the 5th prince will be hero of this council doubtlessly. He must have prepared for this long. Do you still want him to do so?"
The Crown Prince's face turned ugly quickly.
The stage where the 5th prince became the hero?
The Crown Prince never wanted him to be, he would rather choose to die.
"H, honestly,"
By Ian's word, the Crown Prince had thought for a while. Soon, he pulled out some bunch of papers from his individual container. Then he said while handing it to Ian.
"My father gave me few advice before I came here. Of course, he didn't give me an answer though."
Ian had opened the papers. It was written in detail about the background of this council, and what they may debate about, and what problems they were facing. In addition it seemed the Emperor wrote it himself.
"He asked me to fill in its blank, so I tried my best, but…."
Under the written details, there were also the Crown Prince's answers. The Emperor asked him to fill in the blanks, and the Crown Prince tried his best. Of course it was full of garbage. It was rather surprising that he actually tried to fill it in.
'The Emperor must be in a complicated state of mind.'
Ian could understand the reason why the Emperor didn't give an answer. The Emperor was smart man. He knew the Crown Prince wasn't the type of man who was good enough to be a good Emperor.
'He wanted the Crown Prince to improve himself.'
The Crown Prince was definitely not good enough to be the next emperor, but the Emperor loved him so much. He wanted him to learn while listening to the debates between other talented smart men.
"Honestly, I have no idea. Army force and supplement blah blah, territory and slaves blah blah. I definitely will be laughed if I suggest some stupid idea, so it may be better for me to shut my mouth."
(ED note: damn…that feel when the stupid guy admits hes stupid….)
The Crown Prince looked depressed.
He must have thought about it a lot.
He must've wanted to run away and forget it by playing around in the numberless amounts of entertainment in the city.
'I won't able to fulfill the Emperor's wish, though.'
Wait until he learns himself?
Sitting next to him during debate?
Ian had no time to wait.
Instead, he could give him some answers.
'To prevent him from being laughed at.'
Determined, Ian checked the Crown Prince's bunch of papers one by one. Soon, by using mana, Ian erased the dried ink, the answers of the Crown Prince.
"I will give you the answers."
"Huh? W, what answer?"
"I will give you every question of the council, and its every solution. So your highness, until the council day, your job is,"
Ian didn't write it himself.
However, many numbers of pens were writing in the air, automatically. They were writing everything that Ian knew about the council, and contents which made Ragnar as a hero of the council in his former life.
"Memorize it. You must."
Of course, Ian had an alternative plan in case the Crown Prince didn't make it.
However, he wanted to give a chance to the Crown Prince, to establish something by himself.
'And it's better to have a stronger chess piece.'
From that day, a week had passed. Contrary to the others' expectations, the Crown Prince hadn't left the guest mansion once. He didn't even sneak out. Being honest, the soldiers had always known whenever he had sneaked out. They just pretended not to acknowledge him. But this time, he really didn't sneak out.
"What is he doing in the mansion?"
The imperial soldiers whispered quietly.
"He called a lot of whores, maybe?"
"Ah ha, playing with them inside, right?"
There was two reactions that came from the imperial soldiers. One of the reactions came from the soldiers who still believed the old rumors that the Crown Prince was a dirty stupid pig,
"But didn't he change a lot recently?"
"Ah yes. I told you before, didn't I? When I was guarding at the royal palace, I met him, right? Then he tapped my shoulders and encouraged me…."
There were a few soldiers who recognized the change of the Crown Prince during the previous 5 years. Of course, the ones who still didn't trust him outnumbered those.
"But what's all that for? We have the 5th prince, his highness."
Of course, both those cases still respected the 5th prince much more. It was natural. Ragnar had lived the perfect life for the previous 19 years on purpose.
"Perhaps this time as well….."
When they were getting exciting about this topic, a handsome blonde man was walking from a distance, followed by a knight and a mage.
It was the Crown Prince, Captain, and Archmage.
He finally left the mansion.
"Y, your highness!"
Soldiers guarding near the great mansion bowed to him. They were afraid because they heard rumors that the mage can enhance his ears to listen to quiet sounds. Although they whispered really quietly, they couldn't make sure about it.
"Ah, you guys are doing a good job."
Fortunately, such a tragedy didn't happen to them it seemed, since the Crown Prince smiled to them while waving his hand. As they know, he wouldn't easily neglect such rudeness.
"Y, your highness, we will prepare guards right know…."
The Crown Prince shook his hand.
"Its quite near to here, no need. What was its name, the city council meeting room, right? Anyway, the council will be held there today, right? I just want to visit there early."
The soldiers knew it of course.
They were ordered to bring the Crown Prince to the place at the afternoon.
However, the problem was that it was morning.
Why was he going to the meeting room this early morning?
"Your highness, I apologize, but the first meeting will be held at today in the afternoon…."
"I know, I know. I just want to do some practice."
Practice? What practice?
With curious eyes, soldiers looked up briefly, to check the Crown Prince's face.
Soon, every soldiers was shocked. There was no any naughty facial expression on the Crown Prince, but he looked very tired. Look at those dark shadows under his eyes, withered chick and purple colored lip. They had no idea what had happened to him, but it seemed like he went through some great suffering.
'What the hell did he do?'
Did he really play around with whores all day and all night?
But then, what practice did he have to do?
Soldiers couldn't dare imagine what he meant.
'Have no idea.'
The soldiers gave up guessing about it.
They stepped back and made a path for the Crown Prince and his followers.
'Whatever! He's with the Captain and the Archmage, he wouldn't need our guard anyway.'
However, the soldiers did not know.
At the council between the three countries that would be hold in a few more days,
unexpected consequence would shake the council,
and change the destiny of the Crown Prince, Hayden.

Keep Fighting!
August 25, 2013
Pow! Bam! Smash! Batman is getting beaten to a pulp by comic book fans across the globe!
It was announced on Thursday that Ben Affleck would be our newest Caped Crusader in the 2015 sequel to this summer's Man of Steel. Immediate outrage erupted on the streets of digital neighborhoods all over Gotham City and beyond! Many are demanding that the former member of the dynamic duo Bennifer step down and let a real bad ass (think Christian Bale) take the reins. Ka-Pow–up in your face, Ben! But why all the hostility? People are more upset about this particular casting choice than they are about the debt ceiling or the IRS scandal. Who knows, maybe they've seen Daredevil! Indeed, this contretemps has reached the floor of the United States Senate. Newark Mayor Cory Booker was asked if elected to the New Jersey Senate would he stop Ben Affleck from playing Batman. Booker took an immeasurable political risk by tweeting, "Sorry, I'm pro-Ben." A politician with guts; maybe Cory Booker should try on the bat suit!
So, what does all this nerd hoopla mean to you, young Thespian? (And by the way, all actors are young; if not in years, certainly at heart.) The point is Ben Affleck is a fighter; and he'll find his way through this disparaging onslaught come hell or high tides. It took five grueling years, but he and his sidekick, Robin–'scuse me, Matt Damon–stuck it out and won the Academy Award for best original screenplay with Good Will Hunting. Ben has fought back from the depths of alcoholism, and from a career-paralyzing relationship with Jennifer Lopez. And when films like Gigli, Paycheck, and Forces of Nature bombed, Affleck fought back by directing the critically acclaimed Gone Baby Gone, The Town, and the inimitable Argo.
There are days, even weeks, months and years, when the dream seems out of reach. You know what I'm talking about. Auditions are sparse, callbacks are few and far between, and communication with your agent is so silent you wonder if he or she has bought the farm. But you have to do what the latest incarnation of Bruce Wayne would do: Keep working! It won't happen if you don't put in the work; it really is that simple.

LOS ANGELES – The number of polluted rivers, streams and lakes in California increased 170 percent from 2006 to 2010.
According to a list the State Water Resources Board submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the state's 3 million acres of lakes, bays and wetlands are either not meeting water quality goals or need a pollution cleanup plan. The most common contaminants in these waterways are pesticides, bacteria, metals and nutrients.
The Clean Water Act requires states to assess their waterways and submit a list of contaminated waters to EPA for review. The list, which was finalized by the EPA Tuesday, will enable officials to develop cleanup plans.
Jared Blumenfeld, who heads the regional EPA, calls the list a wake-up call that continued work is needed to heal California's waters. Part of the alarming increase in pollution levels was attributed to better overall monitoring data.
"Clean water is vital to California's public health, economy, recreation and wildlife," Blumenfeld said. "California has done an excellent job of increasing the amount of water monitored. Unfortunately much of the new data points in the wrong direction."
Among the trends revealed by the assessment were that many more beaches showed unsafe bacteria levels, pollutants in fish have increased, and the amount of waterways contaminated with pesticides also increased.
Last year, California submitted a preliminary list of polluted waterways to the EPA for approval. The agency added several more waterways to the list, which was finalized after public comment.

CDC: Key considerations for home care providers
One of the most significant developments to come out of the Australian Government's 10-year plan for aged care reforms has been the introduction of Consumer Directed Care (CDC). In summary, CDC gives consumers greater control and flexibility over their own lives by allowing them to make choices about the types of care and services they receive.
While, CDC represents a progressive step forward in empowering the consumer, the detail of exactly how the program will operate in a practical sense also represents a fundamental change for many home care providers. Here, we explore some of those key considerations.Read more >

The Committee of Administrators (CoA), which has been entrusted with the job of running the Board of Control for Cricket In India (BCCI) as it undergoes reforms, submitted before the Supreme Court its first status report, in relation to the Board's compliance to the Justice Rajendra Mal Lodha committee's recommendations.
And guess what, the BCCI has scored a zero in the CoA's 'report card'.
The Supreme Court-appointed committee's status report has been uploaded on the BCCI's website.
The apex court-appointed committee is headed by Vinod Rai. The other members of the committee are cricketer Diana Edulji, historian Ramachandra Guha and corporate honcho Vikram Limaye.
The Supreme Court, in its January 30, 2017 order, had directed the CoA to ask the CEO of the BCCI, Rahul Johri, to submit a compliance report before the committee. The CoA was then supposed to "scrutinise compliance" in the CEO's report and submit a follow-up status report before the Court.
The Justice Lodha committee had issued two sets of timelines. While the first set of timelines were issued on August 9 last year, the second set was announced on August 28. There were 11 points in the first set of timelines and four in the second.
The CoA has found "non-compliance" on part of the BCCI and the associations for all 15 points. In the column for the CoA's observation, all 15 points have been marked as "Step not complied with".
The CoA's status report has three specific heads: "Steps to be taken & deadline", "Status as per CEO" and "CoA Observation".
The 11 points in first set of timelines were: formal adoption of new Memorandum of Rules and Regulations, amendments in constitution by state units, amendments in IPL rules, to decide on order and rotation of states like Gujarat and Maharashtra with multiple teams, disbursement of funds among members, 15-day gap between national calendar and IPL, engagement, agents registration norms, formation of players' association with financial support from the BCCI, adding Pondicherry as an associate member, bringing out handbooks for disabled and young cricketers, creation of websites with links for disabled cricketers, hindi reports, links to stadia, facilities and tickets, transparency of member associations, reorganising of the Zones and appointment of electoral officers for the BCCI and the states.
The four points in the second set of timelines were election for state associations, election to executive committee of players' association, elections to Apex Council of BCCI, BCCI AGM and appointment of ethics officer and ombudsman and creation of BCCI committees, IPL governing council and appointment of management under the new rules.
The Board's CEO, on his part, reported the status for each of the 15 points. For most, it was either "not implemented" or "yet to be done".
For example, regarding the adoption of the new Memorandum and Rules and Regulations of the BCCI, CEO Johri has said "not implemented".
Similarly, for the point where the Justice Lodha committee wanted the state associations to amend the constitutions by September 30, 2016, Johri has said that the same was "yet to be implemented", adding that certain state associations have declared that they will implement the recommended reforms.

A downloadable game for Windows
Ghost Knight Victis is a single-player action RPG inspired by the henshin hero genre (Karas, Kamen Rider, Garo). You play as a guy whose terminal disease awakens dormant magical powers, letting him transform into magical armors and fight monsters.

You'll also need to maintain your secret identity to prevent endangering your friends. But standing with you are individuals who are in the same predicament.
This is only the combat protoype for now. Please try it out and leave feedback!

- Added Rapier weapon, with a test 2-hit combo attack
- Added Rapier Rapid Flurry attack: press X (square in Playstation) repeatedly
- Added Rapier Charged attack: hold X (square in Playstation) then release when the rapier lights up

Since 2001, Brooklyn's DJ Spinna has been preaching the good news of Stevie Wonder on wax and in clubs all over the world. After amassing underground cred in the '90s with Jigmastas and producing for Eminem, Spinna's search for a new direction led him to collaborate with DJ Bobbito on several "Wonder-Full" tribute shows and recorded mixes in honor of Stevie. His work eventually caught the attention of Stevie himself, and two officially-sanctioned Spinna remixes appeared with Wonder's 2005 album, A Time To Love.
But the crowning moment in this chapter of Spinna's career had to be when Stevie himself finally appeared at a Wonder-Full party, providing his matchless vocals over Spinna's live cuts (check this surreal/sublime mashup of "Funky Drummer"/"I Wish", courtesy of a Wonder-Full show in 2013).
Spinna's mixes and parties not only spotlight Wonder's musical genius but also illuminate the man's influence on popular music at large (see: the Spinna-produced Wonder Wrote It series, featuring a cavalcade of musical legends covering songs by Wonder). Amid prepping for DC's latest installment of the Wonder-Full party (April 29 at RedRocks), Spinna was kind enough to take a few questions from The Couch Sessions on his musical kinship with Stevie.
Share with us your earliest memory of Stevie and his music.
My earliest memory of Stevie goes back to his first appearance on Sesame Street in 1973. I saw it a few years later and I recall my mom explaining to me that he was blind. I didn't quite grasp that concept at five years old and I remember marveling at the TV screen wondering why his eyes were wandering all over the place behind his sun glasses. The first Stevie tune I came to know as a kid was his Bob Dylan cover of "Blowin' in the Wind". My dad had the 45. The most eventful listening was the Songs in the Key of Life LP. It was the only record in my household (and probably in existence at that time) that was a three-record set, a bonus 45 and included this big booklet with all these special liner notes and lyric sheets. As years progressed into my late teens his music became more of an obsession.
Stevie's appearances at past Wonder-Full sets (including those in LA and DC) must've been a dream come true. What will you always remember about those nights? And any chance he might reappear at upcoming shows?
The most memorable thing for me is his gratitude. He has fun surprising the crowds and giving the love back. A few of these times were direct surprises for me! Especially the very first time he showed which was in NYC! I didn't even know he was coming but everyone involved with the events knew. He can be a great prankster. He's naturally a loving person and one of the most genuine human beings I've ever known. There's no telling when he will show up. Most of the times it's coincidental…if he happens to be in town wherever Wonder-Full is happening. The time he stopped by in DC a few years ago was the only time it was pre-planned, but I had to keep it on the hush. The element of surprise is now part of the mystique for these events, you just never know what will happen.
Your latest Stevie-centric album (2016's DJ Spinna Presents The Wonder Of Stevie, Vol. 3) focused on covers of his music. Tell us about your favorite all-time Stevie cover(s).
- Jackson 5 – "Don't Know Why I Love You" – Michael is singing his 12-year-old heart out like a grown man.
- Jacob Collier – "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" – This young man is an absolute genius. He's playing all of the instruments and singing complex harmony parts. I was trying to get this version for The Wonder Of Stevie, Vol. 3 but it was extremely difficult.
- Brainstorm – "Everytime I See You, I Go Wild" – I love Belita Woods (RIP) who was the lead singer for Brainstorm. I appreciate a great vocal performance and she certainly killed it on this. The musical arrangements are amazing as well.
- Aretha Franklin – "Until You Come Back To Me" – This is one of those instances where the cover version (in my opinion) outdoes the original, which in the case of Stevie is really hard to do. However, this is Aretha we're talking about here, 'nuff said.
Which Stevie remix of yours are you most proud of, and why?
I've done two remixes, "My Love is On Fire" which is the most popular, and "Sweetest Somebody" which is my favorite. Stevie liked the first one but he absolutely loved the second one which made my entire life! I kept that remix tight for years hoping one day it could get an official release, only a few have it. I'm most proud of it because Stevie loved it, and it's quite an epic mix. It has a Brazilian feel and the energy of it is uplifting. Every time I play it, people get lost in the vibe.
What's one song that you wish more people realized that Stevie wrote, and why?
Quincy Jones & Patti Austin – "Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me". Why do I wish more people realize this is a Stevie-written song? Because it's freaking awesome, that's why! Everyone knows the song but hardly anyone knows he wrote it. The liner notes generation understands.
What's a lesson or memory you will you take away from having worked with Stevie?
I witnessed something magical and life changing at his Wonderland Studios some years ago. He invited me to hang out with him for a few days, a dream come true for certain. I got a chance to finally experience his work process, which is something I never imagined happening. Without going into specifics, I'll state that he is surprisingly open to suggestions and thoughts of his work while in progress, (or at least he trusted my judgement). That was a huge deal because it made me realize that even the biggest artist in the world can use a second opinion at some point in their work process. For someone like Stevie who's pretty done it all, it's great to see that he's still human and not some music-spitting machine of perfection that can keep it all internal.
Especially as a DJ whose source materials (including Stevie's work and others) were at one time only available on vinyl, what are your thoughts on vinyl vs. digital? Which do you prefer to work with, in the studio and live settings?
I love both formats, but vinyl is my first preference. Not everything is released on vinyl, so it's important to embrace both formats to stay relevant and current. I grew up playing vinyl and it's something that will always be embedded in my DNA. The vinyl format has surged in retail—outselling CD's and digital downloads in 2016—which is a great sign of people getting back into the tangible experience of listening to music. In the studio, I generally pull from vinyl sources, but I'm not against using high-quality digital formats, no mp3's. For live settings, I use Serato DJ, CDJ's and vinyl.
Why do you think Stevie's music lends itself so particularly well to remixing and reimagination?
Remixing Stevie's music is a grey area. I believe a lot of his music shouldn't be touched and if so, it has to be treated with extreme care. He particularly is not a huge fan of his music getting re-worked out of its original context. At best, club treatment is the most essential approach to reimagining his works. Updated Stevie Wonder music for clubland is a great way of extending his fanbase to a younger/newer audience, as long as his original musical integrity is intact.
If you could only have access to one Stevie album for the rest of your career, which would it be and why?
I get asked this question often and it's always a tough one to answer. His golden period is between 1971 and 1980, which means Music of My Mind to Hotter Than July. There's something special about all those albums. If I had to narrow it down it would be between Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life. My favorite songs are on those releases, specifically "Too High", "Golden Lady", "Visions", "As", "Summer Soft", "Another Star", etc.
These days, who's your favorite MC to collaborate with?
Oddly enough, I haven't worked directly with MC's in a minute. Outside of Jigmastas I've been doing mostly remixes of MCs, in recent times Blu who's an incredible MC, Slum Village and a track featuring Large Professor & MOP (soon to be released). There's a few MCs on my bucket list that I would love to work with in the future. My top three wishes are MF Doom, Jay Electronica and Anderson.Paak.
What are a couple of your most prized vinyl?
I have so many:
- Purple Rain (Ltd US Purple Vinyl)
- Placebo – Ball of Eyes
- Damn Sam – The Miracle Man and Soul Congregation LP
- James Mason – Rhythm Of Life
- Midnight Express – Danger Zone (45)
- Junei – Let's Ride (45)
- Stevie Wonder – That Girl (Yellow Mexican 12″, never issued anywhere else on 12″)
- The Grodeck Whipperjenny LP (James Brown production of Acid Psych Funk)
What's your favorite place to go crate-digging?
I won't mention names of spots but as far as countries go, Japan is number one for me. Everything you're looking for is there. You have to be willing to spend the time and money but it's literally like a vinyl paradise. Aside from Japan, I love buying records everywhere I go, especially in countries like England, France, and the Netherlands. New York is also not completely dry despite what many vinyl collectors think. Brooklyn is currently a hotbed for records.
You're booked for some festival appearances this year, including The Roots Picnic in Philly this summer. How do you approach those types of shows, compared to your Wonder-Full or Soul Slam (MJ/Prince-focused) parties?
Festival sets really depend on the crowd and demands of the promoters. Most often I'm requested to play multi-genre sets or straight House/Electronic music at festivals.
DJs often seem to assume the role of musical historians and archivists: unearthing little-known gems and preserving the past through reimagination. How do you see your role in contributing to Stevie's legacy?
I believe I've helped to sustain Stevie's legacy during dormant periods of his career. When Wonder-Full started in 2001, his studio album Conversation Peace was released in 1995, six years prior. Throughout the 2000s he's only had one other studio album (A Time to Love in 2005). Overall, I'd like to think I've brought more awareness of his catalog to his lifelong fans and helped to create new fans, who may not have been aware of his greatness. These Wonder-Full parties are an act of community service and an educational trip. The entire purpose for me is to preserve Stevie's legacy.
Don't miss out on Spinna's latest Wonder-Full party at RedRocks on H Street. DC's own Jahsonic is also on the bill. Visit Eventbrite's page for tix and all the pertinent details. More show dates and info are available through DJSpinna.com.

fiasco; and my funny, funny girl
8:30 this morning, I show up at Julia's house with Annabelle. The plan: go to breakfast at Denny's then come back to her house and play Scrabble while the dogs play together. I get out of the car and bring Belly over to the yard. Tucker's thrilled to see her, and to show her his love, he flips up a bird in the air. No, he doesn't flip her the bird, you bad people. He flips a bird up as if to say, "look what I got!" He was clearly showing off.
Except the bird wasn't dead. Julia's cat, Max, aka, Monster Cat, injured the bird but did not kill it. We both screamed. I mean screamed. Woke up whatever members of her neighborhood who weren't already awake. Put all the animals back in the house.
What to do, what to do? The most humane thing to do, of course, is to kill it, but do you think I've got it in me to kill a bird? Nope. You think Julia's got it in her? Nope. The next logical thing: go door to door looking for a man to do the dirty work.
First neighbor. No answer.
Second neighbor. Seems like the whole house is still asleep, so we stand there for a while and finally decide not to ring the doorbell.
Man innocently walking his little pug down the street. Ummmm.... Naah, that's too crazy. Excuse me sir, would you please kill the bird in my yard?
Man across the street? Okay. He answers the door in his white bathrobe. Julia tells him* what's going on, he hesitates for the slightest second, and then says, "I'll take care of it." When he gets dressed and comes across the street, he tells us that he's an old pro at killing birds who are half dead.
Not really sure how he did it.** Not really sure we want to know.
Julia and I thank him and go back in the house. Julia's checkbook is on the floor.
Julia: Where's my purse?
We look around. Her credit cards and receipts and other various wallet stuffings are strewn across the floor. We look over at Belly, who's been innocently sitting on her blue towel since we got in. She stands up. Julia and I both see it at the same time.
Belly's got Julia's purse looped around her neck. I crack up.
Belly: We ready to go to breakfast or what, people? I've got my money.
* My favorite part of this "telling: "blubber blubber blubber...bird...injured...blubber blubber...suffering....and you're a man...." Holy lord.
**Okay, really, he probably suffocated it. Or broke its neck. ugh.

Hi all,
I receive this awards few times ago from my dearest friend Mada Foe.
It's been a while, and I have to learn some process to link back this awards and bla bla bla, since I'm a newbie in this blogger world ^^
It's such an honor to receive this. It's my first award, and it really does encourage me to keep blogging and keep learning about this amazing world.
My life's changed since I enjoyed blogging and I wish to the bloggers I share this awards and all the readers to keep blogging, sharing, and learning, 'coz the world now is just one click away. Isn't that amazing? ^^
Anyway, the rules of these awards are:
- Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your blog
- Tell us 7 things about yourself
- Award 7 recently discovered new bloggers
- Contact these bloggers and let them know they've received the award(s)
Soo... here's random facts about me:
Lipstick is my 'comfort food'. Whenever I feel in bad mood, I will mostly buy lipstick. Any kind, any brand, I love to explore. But recently, it's not just lipstick but make up in general. Or... if I'm on budget, I will just playing with those babies I had ^^
I'm struggling with my weight. For my whole life. But I kinda make peace with it now, and finally can accept it. You don't have to be size zero to enjoy life, right?
too bad, some people around me just can accept that fact and keep judging me for being 'big'.
I hate 'lip-service' people. the one who make false promises, the one who talk sweet just to please others, and everything that doesn't come from the heart.
Just shut your mouth up, will you?
I love my coffee black with a hint of milk and no sugar (I actually prefer creamer since it's non dairy ^^). It's kinda coffee Jack Black drink in Gulliver's travel, but in moderate way (less milk).
I'm a huge fan of salad -any kind of it- and vegetables in general. Can't live without it, can't eat without it. the greener the better, and I hate overcooked veggies ^^
oh, and I love cooking, especially for the loved one.
I had a thing for red bean (or azuki, etc). The smell and the taste.
I recently found a local brand that kinda The Body Shop, and they have this red bean in scrub, body butter, body mist, etc. I'll definitely collect them ^^
and as for food, my favourite is red bean ice, like the one they sell in Palembang.
I recently had this question from a friend, and I'll share to you: '5 Celebs you wish to date'.
Mine are (in random): Hugh Jackman, Jason Statham, Wentworth Miller, Johnny Depp, and Patrick Dempsey.
as for local celeb, I only can think one person: Ananda Omesh. hahahahaha...
And these are the bloggers I wish to share the awards...
1. Just My Own Room
2. Beautiful Hijabi
3. Tummy Teaser
4. Yume to Unmei
5. Review Beauty Items
6. Life of Dee
and the last but not least, my inspirational blogger, a beautiful and kind person, Nikki from Askmewhats who recently doing such amazing nail art about Plant vs Zombie. I admire it but too bad I can't recreate it. You can click to see the tutorial here.
Hope you all enjoy it

Apparently, Burton and Depp are teaming up for the big-screen adaptation of "Dark Shadows," the Gothic soap opera about vampires, ghosts, and monsters that ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971.
Before Lestat, Angel, and Edward Cullen, there was Barnabas Collins, a 175 year old vampire who stalked the town of Collinsport, Maine pining for his lost love.
Originally, the character of Barnabas, played by Shakespearean actor Jonathan Frid, was only intended for a 13-week story arc on "Dark Shadows", but he caused such a sensation with viewers that he became the lead character for the next 4 years.
Depp is said to play Barnabas, a life long dream role for him according to Collider.
Barnabas is the first vampire to stray from the truly evil incarnation that Bram Stoker epitomized with "Dracula." Depp wants to bring the story of Barnabas to the big screen in a new, sexy, charming aura/style and I'm super excited about this film!

It's easy to fall into the trap of putting people into a box, viewing their capabilities and the benefits they can offer too narrowly. Our community of nearly 300,000 multifaceted individuals are not just experts who can help solve your problems – they are also consumers who can offer customer perspectives and insights, and odds are, many of them fall into your target market. Men and women, old and young, active professionals and retirees, academics and students, culturally diverse – they buy and use products and services across virtually all consumer categories.
There is much to gain from viewing InnoCentive's Solvers as consumers as well as innovators, and there are some strong reasons for Seekers to buy into this perspective.
Combine development steps to engage with consumers and innovators at the same time. Our Solver Community offers a unique overlap of consumer focus groups and innovative developers. Rather than first discussing an idea for a new product with a focus group, and then exploring practicalities with developers, these steps can be combined inyo one Challenge. A great example of this was our recent Electronic Apps for Inhaler Devices Challenge, attracting asthma sufferers as well as app developers from our Solver Community.
Benefit from diversity and global reach. Our diverse community of Solvers span every continent and almost 200 countries, thereby bringing different cultural perspectives to Challenges. One Seeker took advantage of culturally varied attitudes and habits around care for the elderly by asking for models to motivate and support altruism within communities.
Co-create and drive brand engagement. Asking consumers to help you tackle Challenges is a strong and engaging way to demonstrate that you value their opinions and are open to feedback. A travel social network did this recently through one of our Challenges by asking Solvers which incentives work best for encouraging membership, and which website version they liked best. Thomson Reuters did this as well, asking Solvers to help the company improve its online products. This Challenge engaged more than 800 people from around the world, and Phase 2 which focuses on the implementation of this original Challenge is now in progress. Inevitably, these types of Challenges drive interest and website traffic from individuals who spent time exploring their offerings.
Next time you consider posting a Challenge to our Solver Community, think outside the box and enjoy the benefits of co-creating and conversing with your consumers!

mOM eARTh is our HOME! We are not 'camping'!
Reality got to slapping too many of us in the face in its windy ways…even those of us whom hadn't yet been caught living "too free" began to realize that our "luck" might not hold out forever and that maybe it was time to come out of the woodwork (so to speak!) and share our powers, our ways of seeing, our input.
At least a little. See how it goes. Seed a little here, a little there. And possibly touch the hearts of our fellow human beings wherever we might!
WHERE WILL YOU GO IF THERE'S A MAJOR TSUNAMI??? To the woods?
Many of us will seek the forests when the only choice we may have is shelter from the heavily institutional Red Cross, et al. But are we prepared enough?? Apparently from what i've experienced and read, many many Occupy communities are dealing with unprecedented levels of intensity. Some or much may likely be due to the sad reality of political police seeking to block our seeding and crush our momentum. But we also need to see that many human beings are also authentically off-balance. And that to play into the alienation that keeps such off-balance folks so (and worsening) will be detrimental!
"How we see what we see affects the quality of our reality," goes wisdom from the Lakota people, and i wish to build onto that. i mentioned this amongst some of the occupy folks already, and i'll try to pass it on as broadly as i may possibly do!!!! Off-balance folks, especially angry, anarchistic youth, are symptoms of the reality we live in; and they hold powerful gifts within their intensities–IF we give ourselves permission to see the puzzles that they (and we!) are!
We come into these action groups for reasons of the heart. Shall we toss away those heart-motions as soon as we are faced with challenge? Mundanely-challenged mindsets would like you to, apparently; "Misery Loves Company" after all. And a lot of pros would like to see the symptoms swept back into silence, i.e. via the Titticut Folly Syndrome (a.k.a. psychiatrick management)…and "let the pendulum swing back" to that stupidity again.
But we have power. Our Nuclearized families don't know it, of course, and thus many of us don't know this, that we all have power. That our power is crucial to the challenges we face!
How deep is your creative intelligence? How much shall you practice?
It's almost 2012 and many people whom i respect speak of this time as the paradigm shifting time. Shall you wait and merely consume it when it gets its "10 minutes of fame" on your favorite Zone Out Media, or shall you be a part of her/history in experimenting with your bests on the cusp of this alleged change?
Crucial read:
page 65, Rolling Stone Magazine, Nov.24, 2011 where it says:
"…beginning to see another angle [about the Occupy Wall Street intention]. Occupy Wall Street was always about something much bigger than a movement against big banks and modern finance. It's about providing a forum for people to show how tired they are not just of Wall Street, but everything. This is a visceral, impassioned, deep-seated rejection of the entire direction of our society, a refusal to take even one more step forward to the shallow commercial abyss of phoniness, short-term calculation, withered idealism and intellectual bankruptcy that American mass society has become. If there is such a thing as going on strike from one's own culture, this is it."
And, yes, the rest of the context in that article is very much worth reading!!!
x-posting to various indy media sites!

What Students Say About Online Classes
"Online classes allowed me to take more credits per semester while working part-time. Besides, what is better than attending school curled up on the couch and in your pajamas!"—Kim C., 23
