We've all heard about the strange things that can come out of foreign television shows and movies, but what about video games? From the strange world of Japanese dating games where the sole aim is to impress a girl and usually undress her to games that involve talking to a fish with a human face, the foreign gaming market can be pretty scary. Here are six of the strangest or most disturbing games of them all.
The premise of this game, developed by Japanese studio Atlus, involves a man torn over cheating on his girlfriend and having nightmares about commitment that involve anthropomorphic talking sheep. Users play as Vincent, who in the daytime must navigate relationships with his serious girlfriend Katherine and his mistress Catherine. At night, the game turns into a block puzzle challenge as Vincent must climb a tower and avoid obstacles. If that description isn't enough to land "Catherine" on this list, then we don't know what is.
Players of this game face a daunting challenge — they play as Mr. Mosquito, an aptly named mosquito who must stock up on blood before winter comes. Mr. Mosquito lives inside the house of the Yamada family, and as you fly around you must suck blood from them without them noticing, focusing on different body parts depending on what they're doing. The family members have a stress meter which cannot go above a certain level and if they notice Mr. Mosquito, an epic boss-style battle commences. Some pretty tense stuff.
In this game developed by Polygon Magic studios in Japan, players follow a series of family members who must make it home in time for grandma's birthday. Each member has a different minigame for users to play — the father must dance with his coworkers at his boss' orders before dodging a giant boulder to get home, while the mother survives a bank robbery only to find herself piloting a fighter jet which must kill a giant teddy bear attacking the city. And that's only a small sample of gameplay.
"Cho Aniki" is actually a whole series of games, the first of which was released in 1992 for the PC. Since then, it has spawned versions and spin-offs on dozens of consoles. The basic premise of the game is a simple side-scrolling shooter, but it's the aesthetics of "Cho Aniki" which help it make this list. Characters are either phallic or muscular half-naked men. One villian attacks by gyrating, another wears a speedo and shoots 'white beams' from his head. Unfortunately or fortunately as the case may be, "Cho Aniki" has never seen release outside of Japan.
This game, more unashamedly titled "Project Rub" when it was released in Europe, was developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS handheld. It made use of the console's touchscreen and microphone in a series of minigames,as users played a man trying to impress a girl he had fallen in love with, collecting "Rub Rabbits" along the way, which would unlock different features in the game. Minigames ranged from protecting the girl from raging bulls or blowing into the microphone to blow out falling candles headed straight for the rabbits.
"Seaman" is a virtual pet game developed for the Sega Dreamcast console. It involved caring for a pet fish with a disturbingly human face, and not much else. In order to research this strange fish species, players had to learn to care for it themselves, and had to check back it on Seaman every day so that he wouldn't die. Users could interact with the fish through the Dreamcast microphone but often the fish would be rather unhappy and sarcastic back to its owner. To make things even better, Seaman was voiced by none other than Leonard Nimoy in the English language version.
Although these games represent the strangest offerings that can be found in the gaming world, it feels like we have only scratched the surface of games with strange plots, trippy visuals or blatantly homoerotic overtones. Either way, we'll have some of whatever these game developers are having.

Home > Case Insulation > AcoustiPack™ EXTRA Foam Blocks
The new AcoustiPack™ EXTRA Foam Blocks pack contains 3 acoustic foam blocks. AcoustiPack EXTRA Foam Blocks can be used inside any vacant drive bays to help increase the absorption of unwanted sound energy. Once installed, the foam blocks also help to reduce the internal air volume inside your PC or server case, which in turn may improve airflow velocity and the cooling performance.
Acoustipack EXTRA blocks are made from professional-grade dense acoustic foam, which is certified UL94-HF1 fire rating. The foam is especially effective at absorbing sound at higher-frequency, such as hard drive whine, or high-pitch noise from motherboard components. The foam is black, and flexible enough to squeeze into empty 5 1/4″ or 3 1/2″ drive bays to pressure-fit.

Kareem Copeland of the Green Bay Press Gazette cited ESPN as reporting that the NFL has told owners to be prepared to vote on a new collective bargaining agreement today sometime between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m.
According to the report, the owners are ready to take the matters into their own hands and vote on the agreement, despite some sticking points that have as yet to be resolved.
According to a tweet by NFL Network's Albert Breer, the NFLPA player reps have a conference call scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight. One of the reasons, according to reports, as to why the owners are planning to vote today is so that some of them can attend the funeral of Patriots' owner Robert Craft's wife.
Should the owners vote to approve the new CBA, the final step would be approval by the players.

Stop by Polaris for the Barnes & Noble Author Event—and then join us for a toast as we celebrate this shared accomplishment!

About Date Like a Grownup:
Anecdotes, Admissions of Guilt and Advice Between Friends
"Date Like a Grownup" examines the impact of loneliness and social obsolescence on men and women in their second single lives and provides punctuating proof that looking for love from a place of isolation is as unwise as grocery shopping on an empty stomach.
Unlike many other relationship manuals, this book will not guide you through game playing and winning temporary partners. Instead, readers will develop a personalized strategy for building a life foundation that facilitates growing a "right fit" relationship. Topics include: effective filtering, social media and online dating, how to avoid isolation and strategically build a larger social network. Engaging narratives such as "Parking Lot Apology," "The Percocet Proposal" and "Need Meets Greed" underline specific dating principles outlined in the book and affirm that none of us are immune to bad choices.
And with at least half of the adult population attempting a "do-over" on their most committed
relationship–and many getting it wrong yet a second time–these proven "do's and don'ts"are first date gold for men and women navigating midlife dating and vicarious entertainment for thankful sideline observers.

I'm going to bundle this together, instead of making half a dozen seperate threads.
We've just had "THE MEETING" regarding what we're going to do with the network. It's been decided that we're going to look at vanilla networks, though linux is also an option.
We're also probably going to do our own 'net filtering [I got yo back, Smoothwall peeps!]
Our MIS is currently Integris, but our Finance officer is worried about it being pulled as it's bought by our LEA. [Which we pay them for.] So any suggestions would be helpful. Capita is a no-go, our HT doesn't like them.
Support-wise, we've been offered remote-only and emergency server-is-broke-get-here-now support from one company. I'm happy enough to get on with what I need to do, googling/Edugeeking if I'm stuck, but having someone to call in if it all goes Pete Tong is something I'd prefer.
But if anyone knows of other companies who offer something similar, could you let me know.
Basically, I'm looking for advice on everything. From broadband suppliers to hardware vendors. Client software, home access [plus+ :P], any server management suites [I like CC4's management console...], admin software... You name it, I'm probably looking for it.
We're also talking about virtual servers. Which I mentioned to our HT ages ago.
But no BYOD. Ok... It WAS me who shot this down. TBH, I'm not comfortable supporting Apple ATM. Not from a "I HATE APPLE" standpoint, from an experience [or lack thereof] standpoint. [I know a fair few pupils have macbooks.]
This is what we're discussing at the moment:
Broadband from BT, with a Smoothwall box for filtering. Windows 2008r2 [virtual] servers with Win7 clients [Laptops for all staff with docking stations rather than full desktops. Our HT's idea. I actually like it.] [With a second server as a OMGWTFBBQBACON emergency backup to use if the first one dies.]
MS Office software via EES.
Antivirus... No clue. Definately not Sophos.
I mentioned HAP+ for file access, but people keep talking about other things... PAID things. [I see no HAP+ costs £xx anywhere. If I'm wrong let me know, please.]
There was also talk of Linux for Schools with a Win7 theme on the clients [therefore bypassing "it's different therefore I shall complain"].
Our Admin network is currently seperate from our curriculum network, but that may change. There's been talk of it for a while, but nothing has happened. The current admin network shares would become shares on curriculum, but would only be available to specific people on specific machines. [If there's any issues that could come up from this, let me know, please.]

Esther 6:1-6 1 During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
2 It was found written what Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king�s eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.
3 The king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king�s servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."
4 So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king�s palace in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
5 The king�s servants said to him, "Behold, Haman is standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."
6 So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"
We are living in a time where the power of darkness is working with its full power. He knows the time is up. He is in God�s grace period. So what I noticed that in the same way devil tried to destroy the many chosen one he is trying to destroy the people of God in this generation. He is working against the ministries, churches and the family relationships.
As believers let us look to the Scripture to see that when enemy try with his plan his, there in someone out there watch over to save the Godly .
That night - Esther 6: 1.During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
WE are living at a time of darkness and the power of darkness knows that his time is about to end.
Darkness � Darkness stands for:
We are living in :
1. Spiritual darkness � Romans 13:12 12 The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
2. Season of severe calamities Isaiah 21:1-2
1 The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As windstorms in the Negev sweep on, It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.
2 A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.
3. Season of spiritual desertion. Song of Songs 3:1 1 "On my bed night after night I sought him Whom my soul loves; I sought him but did not find him.
When the darkness was reigning and working the saint did not curse darkness they were working to see the hand of God.
A. Esther
1. Esther - was preparing to meet the King -
2. Mordecai - was praying �
3.Haman -was making the gallows (75 feet high)

The 2014 MLB Draft will be held June 5-7 and will be carried on the MLB Network. As has been done in years past, a stream on the website will surely be available as well. This could well be the last time you see Bud Selig overseeing the process.
Take that as you wish…
Putting together a rankings list of any type for any reason presents a major challenge. With these players facing so many different levels of competition, even using video and written word about showcases and summer leagues might not tell the entire picture. In essence, it comes down to a judgment call and/or opinion. I realize those are not always popular. Now, to the meat and potatoes.
One aspect of this year's draft that has created some buzz is the availability of right-handed pitchers at the high school level. Actually, pitching overall has been the talk of this draft. Some mock drafts have as many as eight pitchers going within the first ten selections. That number could have been nine had it not been for the unfortunate case of Matt Hoffman. I'll cover that, as well as a couple more injured notables, as I go through my rankings.
Yesterday, you got my list on ten players that fell just outside my top 50 rankings. Today, we'll start to delve into the top 50 of the list. Let's start by looking at those draft prospects I have ranked from 50 to 46. Whenever possible, I will supply the most recent video that was found.
Here's the first five of my top 50 2014 MLB draft prospects.

Forums Jitter
using internal microphone to change image rotation
Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
Hi all,
I'm completely new to Jitter and just trying to break apart examples to teach myself the logic. Right now I'm trying to setup something where depending on how loud the volume input on my internal microphone, a video I set to run will scale and rotate. on a running video, it will rotate the image.
Does anyone have any examples or places I can look to take a stab at this functionality? The Jitter tutorials are kinda confusing me (though that's mostly my own fault).
Thanks in advance!
Look at [jit.rota] for all your scaling and rotation needs, the help file is fairly intuitive, just copy the bits you need into your own patch. For finding the level of an incoming signal use [adc~] and then look at [avg~] or [peakamp~]. These will give you values in max that you can manipulate however you see fit. Perhaps look at [scale] and [>] which might help also.
thank you, this is something different form the image programme tutorial : on how to rotate the image.
I use an imaging sdk found on the internet which can do image processing like rotation . Install it and it becomes a selectable processing option.Then you can rotate images in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat . Just open the images, select rotate ,and follow the setps given in the sdk, the task will be finished in several seconds. if you haven't found a good choice , you can have a try. best wishes.

This is a skydiving term. Yes, I'm bipolar and I love and teach skydiving. I know what you're thinking, don't say it!
Let's get to the topic I'm asked a lot about. I'm kind of bad at explaining it and you already have to know about some of these skydiving terms but whatever. If we're going to introduce load factor to our discussion subsequently let us do the mathematics. At a bank angle of 30 degrees stall rate will be increased by load factor by around 8%. Stall rate will be increased by a bank angle of 45 degrees by 20%.
The precise stall rate of a ram air canopy will depend on several variables, but let us use 5 mph (8 km/h) as an example. In that case, a 30-degree bank angle while flaring will simply raise your stall rate by 0.4 miles per hour (0.64 km/h).
Is a 0.4 miles per hour increase in stall rate a major thought when landing your canopy, while load factor might seem important? Likely not. Absolutely.
All this only matters if you're skydiving somewhere that's not very windy, such as San Diego (ideal conditions). You can normally see yourself doing this on video, and might even believe yourself doing it while it is occurring. This issue can readily be prevented if you focus on flaring equally, keeping your body right, and looking directly ahead.
What should your feet be doing? That likely will occur naturally without putting any additional effort into getting it occur just as you stand up at the end of your flare. And putting additional effort into getting it occur could induce you to reach for the earth with one foot.
If everything is going smoothly afterward as you are set by the canopy down you can simply stand up as if you were getting out of a seat. Your feet understand what to do.
Harness Body Posture
What about leaning forwards in the harness? A pitch change does happen when the nose of your canopy tips upwards at the start of the flare.
If you enjoy to lean forwards in the harness and it looks to help your touchdowns, that is wonderful. It seems trendy and feels fine. Your body will rock up onto your feet as your feet touch down and accept your weight. You can either "lean forwards into the encounter," as Brian proposes, or preserve a more laidback pose if you favor. Whichever one feels more comfortable is the greatest one for you.
You Will do it right if you develop the technique naturally while you practice great fundamental flaring abilities. Most canopies will slow down just good if you level off a cozy space above the earth and only keep level flight through the rest of the flare.
In general, it might help to quit thinking about a "no-wind landing" as being significantly distinct from a "standard" touchdown. The fundamental abilities that you use to land in more powerful winds will additionally help you land gently in calm winds. Your touchdowns might not be damage by any bad habits you develop too much when there's some wind to slow you down, but those customs changing your flare to some measure and are typically still present, and can be removed by practicing appropriate techniques.
Removing those bad habits by keeping things uncomplicated, letting yourself relax, and focusing on great fundamental flaring techniques will go a long way to enhancing your touchdowns in all states. Shortly you will be just as assured touchdown on quiet day as you're on gustier ones, and you may even begin to favor calm wind touchdowns.
Teachers and seasoned skydiving teachers, like those in any other sport, develop their own views, doctrines, and teaching methods. The guidance you get from one individual may be rather distinct from what someone else tells you. This can truly be a great thing occasionally, because the guidance that helps one man may not be equally helpful to others.
When discussing canopy operation and flying techniques the most significant bit of advice I give my pupils is this: do not passively accept anything anyone says, including anything that I tell you. More significantly, experiment in the air and see for yourself if it is extremely authentic.
Additionally, remember breathing is important! Don't Stop!

REVIEW: The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
(The Penguin Press. 450 pages. $26.95.)
Most of us are ignorant of what we eat. Though we may count calories or carbs, we don't really know where our food comes from. But when people die because of spinach -- spinach! -- ignorance can suddenly, horribly, turn deadly. How, exactly, do three counties in California cause grocery stores across the country to take spinach off the shelf?
It's hard to imagine that just a few generations ago, most of our food was local. Food now travels, on average, 1,500 miles to reach our plates. Once upon a time, our food came from the ground. Now a lot of it comes from the lab. We buy tomatoes spliced with fish genes, eat corn that is genetically modified, and cut into steaks carved from cows, natural herbivores, that have been fed processed bovine parts. How did we become so split off from food?
Michael Pollan answers this question in his latest book, The Omnivore's Dilemma. Humans eat most anything, and therein lies our dilemma. Sometimes what we eat can kill us. Eat the wrong mushroom and we're goners.
The industrial food industry takes advantage of this quandary. "It is very much in the interest of the food industry to exacerbate our anxieties about what to eat, the better to then assuage them with new products," writes Pollan. "Our bewilderment in the supermarket is no accident."
I considered myself a somewhat savvy shopper until I read this book. I buy food at a local co-op, not at Wal-Mart, though it, too, now stocks organic products. But even in the co-op I can't avoid the problems of our industrial food system. The same companies that produce organic foods also sell cigarettes.
The best way to examine our national dysfunctional relationship to food, Pollan decides, is to trace the origins of meals derived from different food systems -- industrial, organic, and food foraged from the wild. A journalist by trade, Pollan is an ideal person for this task. His previous book, The Botany of Desire, scrutinized the symbiotic connections between plants and people. An elegant writer, he explains both complicated chemical processes and the finer points of animal liberation philosophy with ease. And he loves food.
He starts his search in the cornfields of Iowa, and there we find clues to our current predicament. Most of the food grown in Iowa isn't for us; it's for cattle. (The United States actually imports food for human consumption while we dump cheap -- and highly subsidized -- corn on the global market.)
Pollan meets George Naylor, a corn and soybean farmer from Churdan, Iowa. Naylor no longer feeds his family with what he grows, but he does contribute to the enormous corn and soybean harvests that end up becoming, through the magic of chemistry, the high-fructose corn syrup in our soda pop, and the emulsifiers and "natural" additives that find their way into two-thirds of all processed food.
Naylor tells Pollan that he grows his corn for "the military industrial complex." I thought this was a bit of an exaggeration, but the more I read the more I became convinced. The high yields Naylor gets from his monoculture fields couldn't happen without added nitrates. The chemical fertilizer industry was born from leftover ammonium nitrate, used in making explosives, the government had after World War II.
"Serious thought was given to spraying America's forests with the surplus chemical, to help out the timber industry," writes Pollan. "But agronomists in the Department of Agriculture had a better idea: Spread the ammonium nitrate on farmland as fertilizer. The chemical fertilizer industry (along with that of pesticides, which are based on poison gases developed for the war) is the product of the government's effort to convert its war machine to peacetime purposes." Modern warfare and industrial agriculture are entwined.
A few years ago, I met George Naylor. He came to The Progressive's office, along with Emilio López Gámez and Jose Luis Alcocer de Leon, two Mexican farmers who were invited by the National Family Farm Coalition to visit the Midwest. Mexican farmers were losing their farms, just as the farmers in Iowa and Wisconsin had in the previous decades. The Mexican farmers couldn't compete with the huge industrial farms taking root in their country. Alcocer de Leon told me they were surprised to see our local farmers struggling for the same reasons they were struggling. They thought the cheap corn invading their lands must be benefiting Midwestern farmers. Instead, the same multinational companies were reaping all the gains from industrial cultivation and screwing family farms across borders.
Naylor, López Gámez, and Alcocer de Leon are part of an international movement that challenges this military industrial food complex. Food is one of the places where globalization meets fierce resistance. "Indeed, the most powerful protests against globalization to date have all revolved around food," writes Pollan. From France to India, from Italy to South Korea, farmers and eaters are saying no to "cheap" food.
Pollan does a good job of sleuthing out the true costs of food. He figures in how much petroleum is required to transport crops across the country, not to mention the petrochemicals used in big agriculture. "The food industry burns nearly a fifth of all the petroleum consumed in the United States (about as much as automobiles do)," he writes. "Today, it takes between seven and ten calories of fossil fuel energy to deliver one calorie of food energy to an American plate." We've traded free energy from the sun for pricey petroleum.
Big Ag thrives precisely because so many of these costs are hidden, especially environmental ones. Chemical runoff from farms contaminates our water tables. Excess nitrogen in our watersheds has created huge dead zones in the Northwest and the Gulf of Mexico. Our public health system faces epidemics of diabetes, childhood obesity, and heart disease, all related to our diet.
Pollan tallies other costs as well, such as the destruction of communities. Corn has replaced people in Churdan, Iowa, and elsewhere in the Midwest. And let's not forget the emptying of the countryside of Mexico. Towns in many Mexican states, including Oaxaca, Michoacan, and Jalisco, are now populated mostly by young children and the elderly. Our obsession with inexpensive food is directly linked to immigration. Cheap food costs us dearly.
Organic costs a lot, too. Pollan's trek takes him to Salinas Valley (the same area where the recent E. coli outbreak originated) and visits a "Big Organic" farm that sells the majority of "spring mix" salad bags found in supermarkets and co-ops. The organic market, once on the fringe, has expanded into an $11 billion industry and is the fastest growing sector of agriculture.
These large organic farms are a contradictory mix of hippie values, industrial machinery, and niche marketing. Pollan calls the vibe at Whole Foods "Supermarket Pastoral." It seduces us and allows us to believe that we aren't just buying a gallon of milk, we are supporting a family farm, a way of life. But the reality is more complicated, and often enough we are still buying milk from a cow that doesn't enjoy luxuriating on a grassy pasture; "organic," "free-range," and "sustainably farmed" have become advertising labels.
Pollan wonders if Big Organic is really any better than the industrial agriculture it mimics. Organic milk can travel 1,500 miles across the country, too, just like regular old milk. Although some farm workers, many of them immigrants, may get better treatment on organic farms, it's not a given.
Big Organic has at least one crucial positive aspect: It keeps tons of chemical fertilizers off of crops and therefore out of our water supply. But it remains a precarious system, caught between competing values.
Pollan does an excellent job mapping out the path of organics, from its humble beginnings to the fights at the USDA about what the word "organic" means. (The organic label is more ambiguous than you may think.)
Pollan leaves the large farms and spends a week on a small family farm in Virginia that represents the best of a locally supported food system. This farmer slaughters his chickens outside and invites his buyers to come and see for themselves how his food is produced. Pollan wonders how long industrial chicken operations would last if consumers could see how chickens were processed. Not very long.
"Our food system depends on consumers' not knowing much about it beyond the price disclosed by the check out scanner," he writes. "Cheapness and ignorance are mutually reinforcing."
A few years ago, one of my friends happened to be my farmer. He ran a community-supported agriculture farm that sold shares in the spring. From May until October, I got a box full of fresh produce. Since his farm was within the city limits, he was able to transport his crops by bicycle.
My friend no longer farms, and I do miss his fresh veggies. I also miss knowing who grew my food. I now buy food at the local farmers' market, but it doesn't give me the same satisfaction.
When the spinach scare happened, I looked for spinach at the farmers' market but didn't find any. I would have bought some if I did, for I had faith that my local farmers weren't tainted by E. coli. I bought some Swiss chard instead. I also bought some raspberries, which were a treat. I didn't expect to find those luscious berries in September. And though they didn't taste as good as they did earlier in the summer, they were still better than the berries I could have bought at the grocery store, shipped from Chile.
I come from a family that enjoys food. But I didn't really love seasonal produce until I moved to Wisconsin. There is nothing tastier than woodsy morels in May, wild blackberries in July, or cherry tomatoes -- as sweet as candy -- in late August.
Now autumn is upon us, and I crave Yukon gold potatoes and spaghetti squash. My local farmers have taught me to eat seasonally and to never settle for a mushy tomato trucked in from Mexico in January.
If we want to change our insane food system, we will have to adjust our palates. "For local food chains to succeed, people will have to relearn what it means to eat according to the seasons," writes Pollan.
We will also have to adjust our policies. We can no longer afford to subsidize food that makes us sick or kills us. It is only a matter of time before the next outbreak of E. coli. We have to take a stand, and the best place to start may be from our seat at the dinner table.

This Halloween movie will scare anyone who cares about news.
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Devotional For Dieters 1/14
Psalm 11:7
For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Don't let self-pity become part of your diet. It's very easy to feel sorry for yourself when you diet. First, you feel bad because you're overweight. Then you feel bad because of all you have to give up. You feel badly because other people don't seem to understand what you're going through. They get to eat as they please. All of these things can make dieters feel extremely sorry for themselves. Take heart. God knows what you're going through and He is de-lighted that you care so much about yourself. It is right and good to want to lose weight. Whenever we try to do what we think is right, God supports us completely. Replace self-pity with the blessed assurance that God is on your side.
Today's thought: Dieting is no reason for self-pity!

Brooke's Playful Personality Bedroom
My Bedroom Retreat Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Brooke
- Location:
- Brisbane Australia
- Division:
- International
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love how my room displays my personality. I am a full time student who studies all the time, hence all the tech, but I also play around a lot; whether it be games, playing soccer, hiking or just going out with friends. Being able to portray that I balance my work and social life is very important to me.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- If you have a laptop, computer, TV and/or gaming console in your room be sure to add in a few pops of colour to counter all the black/white. I originally was going to go for a bright coloured desk, but decided to add colour with my duvet cover, cushions, prints and even my books. If you don't like the brightness in some seasons, you can just change the duvet cover or cushions to something basic, like a white, grey or black solid duvet.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- I am a full time University student, so it is very important that I have a large working space; so you could say it is a study room just as much as it is my place to sleep. It's also a place where I can have some fun, playing games, or to relax with a good book.

It's relatively easy to make a large, lovely room look and feel good and welcoming, but most dorm rooms are an almost impossible challenge. Your bed looks great, and you've done an impeccable job organizing your work area. Congrats.
Sweet. Nice room. Enjoy.
Very nice.Neat,bright,organized.Loving the purple.Good job.
This room is charming. : ) Is the duvet cover from Urban Outfitters? It's adorable.
This might be a silly question, but I'm wondering how difficult it was to install the wall shelves over your TV and computers. I'm guessing they're from IKEA? I'm a college student living in a sorority house, and we were going to hang the long, floating Lack shelf in a common room, but are now hesitant to because we've heard that they can be a challenge to install and they put a ton of holes in your wall. We don't want to mess up the wall since we don't own it. Were you able to install it fairly easily? Do you recommend them?
Yeah, the cover is from Urban Outfitters - love that shop!
I got my shelves from IKEA, but I don't have the lack shelves so I can't comment on how easy they are to put in or how much damage they can do. I was going to get them, but they werent going to be able to handle a lot of weight.
I got the combination of Ekby Jarpen and Bjarnum - they were super easy to put in, but because of how many I had, I do have a bunch of holes in my wall (about 10.)

Check out Fort Sumter!
When you come to Charleston, you should definitely consider visiting Fort Sumter to witness where the civil war began. It is a great opportunity to take in some US history! Apparently, you won't be alone if you choose to check out the Fort this year. In fact, visitation hit record levels last year with a total of 328,000 people taking the boat tour to Fort Sumter. This was partly due to the 150th anniversary of the civil war, but the trend continues this year, as the visitation is up 11% through March (ABC). Here is some more information and history about Fort Sumter from the National Park Service if you … Continue reading

Works as it should. Quality product. Only thing I don't like is if used outdoors it will rust where it hinges.
07/27/2012By Colorado Cowgirl
I have used the aussie tie ring, and this is equally as nice at half the price. The added feature of the magnet helps keep the lead in place. I use this on my 'freak' that likes to pull back and it's helped him tremendously. I also use it on my older horses because it's so quick and easy to secure them.
07/27/2012By midnight rider
Great for spooky horses or young horse. They learn to tie and trust. They get release and it gives no pain. We use while camping (high line) or use it at home and anywhere we go
07/27/2012By Tanya
My mare is notorious for pulling back & it throws her out a lot in her hips so this product is great to slowly release the rope & give it slack when she does pull back. Its also fast to just clip the ring onto a ring instead of tying a knot around the ring.
07/27/2012By Grayranch
I have used the original Blocker Tie in all tying situations in my barn (stall, aisle, wash rack) and in my horse trailer. I also have a Mag-Loc version. It is much more difficult to release the rope from the Mag-Loc version. Beware that this is the Mag-Loc version, even though the picture shows the original version and the comments don't mention the Mag-Loc. I would recommend the original but not the Mag-Loc.

So you think giving developing countries all those free "carbon credits" is going to cut greenhouse gas emissions and save the planet? Think again.
Through a bizarre but wholly foreseen loophole in the UN's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) system, payments are actually incentivising manufacturers in China and other developing countries to continue producing one of the most potent of all greenhouse gases, the ozone depleting substances (ODS) known collectively as CFCs, used for refrigeration and other industrial purposes - at a cost to British and other developed world consumers of over $18 billion.
And it all started with such good intentions. To rid the world of these supposedly harmful substances, an international agreement called the Montreal Protocol was signed in September 1987 and became effective in 1989, with the original intention of phasing out ODS consumption by 2040, now brought forward to 2030.
To assist developing countries switch production to less harmful substances, the major developed countries set up a "multilateral fund" administered by the World Bank, of which $150 million was earmarked for the largest CFC producer in the world, the Peoples' Republic of China.
Had it been left there, with a whole raft of controls kicking in, no doubt CFC production in the developing world would be tailing off. But that was to reckon without the 1997 Kyoto protocols that included CFCs in a range of six "greenhouse" gasses, elimination of which could qualify for CDM funding.
Where this kicked in was in factories which produced the refrigerant known as HCF-22, in the making of which a by-product HCF-23 is also produced, a gas with the greenhouse potential 11,700 times that of carbon dioxide.
In developed countries, local pollution laws required that this gas was captured and destroyed as part of the process. But in the less controlled and more primitive conditions of China and elsewhere, it was vented to atmosphere – until some bright entrepreneurs realised that capture and destruction qualified for "carbon credits".
Thus, they set up a cheap network of destruction units, which essentially became cash machines. And so lucrative has this scam beome that, in February of this year, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was driven to publish a report on how it was distorting the whole CDM system.
As of 10 February 2009, it noted, the CDM Executive Board had issued over 250 million certified emission reduction credits (CERs), each CER being equivalent to one ton of CO2, for a total of 1,390 registered projects. These issuances had occurred over a period of just over two years.
To date though, it had found that over half of the CERs issued (130 million) come from one process alone – CFC destruction, with China (followed by India) taking the lion's share.
In fact, China alone had received 90 million CERs, valued at well over $1 billion. Furthermore, for a mere 11 of the 1,390 projects, nearly $6 billion-worth of CERs have been approved. Less than one percent (0.79%) of the projects are getting 36 percent of the finance. And, over the full duration of the scheme, the plants could earn as much as $17 billion.
This, though, is only one aspect of an increasingly bizarre situation. As early as 2007, a Stanford University researcher reported that, because of the huge greenhouse potential of HCF-23, destruction of this by-product was actually earning twice as much as producing the HCF-22 refrigerant.
Thus, the system had created a perverse incentive to keep producing. Even if the manufactures did not sell any of their product but simply kept making it, they would rake in twice as much money as they had previously.
In fact, the UN had been warned of this possibility in 2004, and of a probability that the CDM funds would be used as a cross-subsidy to cut the price of HCF-22 and thereby increase its sales. Not only has that occurred, however, there has built up a significant illicit trade, with 51 percent of illegal exports being attributed to China. Illegal product is even entering the United States via Mexico.
All of this is being done in the name of greenery - saving the planet. But the real reason, of course, is to underpin the carbon market which has proved so lucrative for Western financiers.
Nevertheless, with the costs paid by consumers in developed countries through our electricity bills, we at least have the comfort of knowing we are making some Chinese (as well as Indian and Brazilian) CFC producers very rich.
