The 8th Koh Samui mini marathon, Sunday 28th May 2017
My favorite hobby has another event on Koh Samui; The 8th Koh Samui mini marathon, Sunday 28th May 2017.
Yes indeed, another running event has been added to the Koh Samui race calendar and it looks that I will be on the island that day and can participate, in contrast to last year, when I missed the race while I was not on the island.
The races on offer are a 10.5km mini marathon distance race with a 6am start and a 5km fun run distance race with a 6.20am start.
Providing I stay healthy, I', looking into a top ten overall finish and top three finish in my age category but ideally a win in that age category of 55-59 years!
For the overall winner there's a 1,000.-THB, 800.-THB and 500.-THB price for up to 18 years and in the open category, plus all top ten finishers in each category will receive a trophy and all 10.5km runners receive a medal upon completing the race and the first 750 fun run finishers receive a medal.
Online registration can be done on this page and all other relevant information regarding the race can be found there as well, in Thai and in English.
The participation fee is 100.-THB for the fun run or 50.-THB for Koh Samui students and 200.-THB for the mini marathon.
The 8th Koh Samui mini marathon, Sunday 28th May 2017
Hope you will come out 'en masse' and enjoy an early morning run.
A lot of the regular Samui runners will already be in the final stages of their marathon training plans for the Boutique Koh Samui marathon, come Sunday 25th June and the mini marathon will be a great training opportunity. Do not be surprised if some of us will add extra time or km's to fulfill the needed quota for the day, as part of our respective training plans.
See you there!
Please do 'like' my Koh Samui blog Facebook page and enjoy the beaches around the island or in front of your hotel or resort and get some well deserved rest and a break. If you're done resting or need something else to do, there's plenty of things on offer on and around Koh Samui, you can go snorkeling or diving or take a dive course. You can also enjoy some of the trips I recommend, like a half day gourmet lunch and snorkeling trip at the Southern part of Koh Samui or a photography trip where you get to see the most photo genetic spots on the island or go for a drinks tasting tour if you like a tipple or two,
Contact me for more detailed information on any of the options mentioned.

United Way's free tax prep sites open Jan. 14, including at Burien Goodwill
United Way of King County is offering free tax preparation at 19 locations in King County, with sites opening on Tuesday, Jan. 14, including one at the Burien Goodwill (1031 SW 128th Street; 206-957-1020).
The program is designed to help low and middle-income families increase their financial security and keep more of what they earn. At the sites, United Way will prepare income tax returns with an eye to take full advantage of all the possible credits available, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) that reduces the amount of income tax owed by low to moderate income workers. It is considered the largest anti-poverty tool in the US.
In addition to preparing federal tax returns, United Way is offering other services at the sites, such as applications for public benefits like food stamps and utility assistance, assistance with FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form completion.
United Way Tax Preparation is free for anyone making under $52,000 and will run through April 15th. Services will be provided in multiple languages, including Cambodian, Vietnamese, Spanish, Somali, Amharic, Korean, Chinese, Tigrinya, and Russian by nearly 1,000 IRS certified volunteers.
Taxpayers must bring photo identification and Social Security Cards (or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers) for themselves, spouses and dependents. They should also bring wage and earnings statements (Forms W-2), interest and dividend information concerning their income and expenses for the year of 2012.
For site locations, hours of operation, maps and more information visit uwkc.org/taxhelp or call 2-1-1. People can also file for free online if they make under $57,000 by visiting www.myfreetaxes.com/kingcounty.

President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. On that same day the Republican controlled Senate and Republican controlled House of Representatives will begin their respective terms. It will be the first time since 2006 that the Republican Party will control both the executive and legislative branches of government.
Most Americans will pay attention to how the new President and Congress work together to nominate a Supreme Court Justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia, develop a battle plan to defeat ISIS, repeal Obama care, or reduce tax rates. It will also be prudent to monitor any changes that may be made to benefit programs like Social Security and Medicaid.
You may recall that on February 8, 2006 the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 went into effect. This law increased the Medicaid look back period from three years to five years. What this means is that anytime an applicant applies for Medicaid, Medicaid has the legal right to examine all records to determine if any gifts were made. If so, a penalty period will be assessed for which the applicant will be found ineligible for the program.
In August 2012 Mr. Charles Boustany, a Republican Congressman from Louisiana, sponsored a piece of legislation that would have increased the look back period to 10 years. This legislation never got out of committee and even if it would have passed both Houses of Congress, President Obama would have surely vetoed it. But in light of prior history, I am fairly certain that in the near future the look back period will be extended. It could increase to seven years or even ten years. Either way now is the time to plan while the law is still five years.
It is interesting to note that between the date the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 was actually signed, and February 8, 2006, the date the law became effective, I transferred well over $10,000,000.00 worth of assets in order to qualify my clients for Medicaid should care be needed in the future. They took advantage of the old 3 year look back period. Those that waited to plan until February 8, 2016 and after, were now governed by the 5 year look back period.
Please contact me so that we may protect your assets while the look back period is still 5 years.

I sat on the edge of the bleacher at the Anderson Rec Center mid morning on Saturday watching 7 year olds in green uniforms do battle with kids in blue uniforms, kicking a ball back and forth, in and out of bounds, around the goal and down the court. My eyes were glued. My hands were clasped and I held them tightly to my face, anticipating, waiting for the next big play. I had my phone next to me to take pictures and a bottle of water readily available should a certain green team member need rehydration. A week ago I didn't care about soccer. A week ago I wasn't concerned with score boards or shin guards or jerseys. This weekend I watched the game like my life depended on it. I sat alone on the bleacher but felt an instant connection with the other parents and family members cheering from the sidelines. Our common goal brought us together like family. I slowly loosened up my hands, relaxed a little in my seat, and gave myself permission to join the masses in cheering for the team. Our team. The lady behind me repeated over and over "To the goal! To the goal!" until her accented voice echoed through my head. Although I wasn't verbalizing what she was yelling, I focused hard and willed the ball to make its way down to the other side of the court. I watched my green jerseyed boy out run all the other kids, push hard, uninhibited and unafraid. Every time he made a good play he would turn around and look in the bleachers and make eye contact with me. I smiled. I waved. I whispered him happy thoughts of how proud I was of the way he was playing. Every kid had someone in the stand cheering just for them. I was his cheerleader.
The summer has ended and I am slowly getting my feet wet again with foster care. I can't help but be involved. I think about the faces and the names and the stories of kids I haven't even met yet. I know the need is great. So when I got a call to do a five day respite for a little 7 year old boy I was thrilled. This was the perfect chance to get plugged back in without over committing myself. Every kid that has ever stepped foot in my house has been ordained by God. I believe that with my whole heart. I prayerfully consider each placement. I have turned down dozens of opportunities to serve. I listen and wait for God to say, "This one." And when I hear Him speak, I say, "Yes." I have had a 5 year old, a 13 year old, an 8 year old, and a 17 year old. I had my two sweet long term placement kids. I had the 7 year old this weekend. Three boys, four girls. White, Hispanic, black. Kids that have been abused, neglected, or orphaned. Quiet ones and ones that wouldn't stop talking. And each and every time it has been beautiful. God has clearly put our paths together for the time I took care of them. This little boy was no different. He needed me and I needed him this weekend. Our lives weaved perfectly together for the time he stayed with me. I got to see how incredible he is. He's really good at Math, loves to learn new things, is incredibly helpful and independent. He is strong willed but sweet. He talks a lot but likes to hear my stories too. He is goofy and affectionate and amazing.
I want every kid that steps foot in my door to know how fearfully and wonderfully made they truly are. I think when God created each one of these children, He celebrated. He maybe even threw a party. He celebrated the things that make them unique and their characteristics that set them apart. He knew their stories and where they would go. I believe He celebrated when they took their first breath and I believe with all my heart that God has not stopped cheering for them yet.
So when I watch a kid in a green jersey run down the court, kicking a black and white ball, tripping over his two left feet, I don't just cheer for the game. I don't just long for him to make a goal or for the team to win. I don't just want him to show good sportsmanship or block the ball from going in the wrong goal. I cheer for him. Because he's amazing. And even if I'm the only one who ever does, I want him to know he is worth being cheered for. All the way to the final Goal.

White Papers and Application Notes
Establishing Absorbed Dose Thresholds for Nonlinearities in Water CalorimetryR.E. Tosh[1], H. Chen-Mayer[1]
[1]National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA
The technique of water calorimetry for primary-standard dosimetry of radiotherapy-level ionizing radiation is well established at national metrology institutes around the world, where such a direct realization of absorbed dose establishes the basis for calibrating instruments used for dosimetry in medical settings. The typical calorimeter system uses miniature thermistor beads to measure temperature changes in water, which are assumed to be proportional to the energy deposited by the radiation beam, or absorbed dose. Ensuring linear response to radiation heating is thus essential to obtaining accurate estimates of absorbed dose from these instruments, and considerable effort is expended in designing both instrument and experimental conditions so that this is achieved. The widespread use of conformal therapies involving scanned beams of variable geometry and/or energy have raised concerns within the metrology community over whether the classical setting for calibrating field instruments, in which a static, flat radiation field with minimal variation over the active detection region (of instruments being calibrated), offers a valid, reliable basis for accurate dosimetry in treatment settings. Among the research efforts addressing this problem are computational modeling of dose deposition in pencil beams and development of detectors with the spatial granularity and response time needed to characterize dynamically changing beams. New ideas for primary standards, such as ultrasonic imaging of absorbed dose within a water phantom [1,2], are also being developed that might contribute significantly to assuring accuracy of dose measurements in dynamically changing beams. However, successful realization of such new approaches would require a more thoroughgoing physical understanding of the nonlinearities of dose response due to radiolytic chemistry in high-purity water and natural convection due to nonuniformities of the dose distributions. The work presented here summarizes our efforts to characterize thresholds for onset of nonlinearities in heat generation and transport within an open phantom subject to irradiation from treatment beam models, so that we can begin to develop corrections for spurious effects and systematically design the instrument to minimize their impact. Initial work with finite-element models has targeted the onset of natural convection, and preliminary results, oscillations exhibited in Figure 1 and variations in thermal transfer functions in Figure 2, suggest that the thresholds are sufficiently high that the effect would be negligible. The preliminary models involve overly simplified geometry, and thus significant refinements are envisioned for future calculations, after which attention will turn to modeling of the heat defect due to radiolytic chemistry.

JPMorgan exec quits after trading loss
May 14 - JPMorgan's Chief Investment Officer Ina Drew is retiring after 30 years, the first casualty after the bank suffered trading losses that could reach more than $3 billion and which have sparked an investigation by U.S. securities regulators. Joanna Partridge reports.
She's the first JPMorgan employee to go after the bank revealed it had made a trading loss of at least $2 billion. As expected, the U.S. lender sacrificed its investment chief Ina Drew. She's retiring after 30 years. Drew was based in New York, and was one of the bank's highest-paid executives. Drew ran the Chief Investment Office - which allegedly mismanaged a portfolio of derivatives. The portfolio's hedging instruments became too complicated to work and too big to unwind quickly. JP Morgan got through the financial crisis without reporting a loss and has been seen a strong risk manager. But these trading losses could end up reaching $3 billion or more. The episode has also hit the reputation of the bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon. JPMorgan lost $15 billion in stock market value the day after the loss was announced and its stock fell again on Monday. The bank's statement made no mention of two of Drew's team who were involved with the costly derivatives trades and were also expected to leave. Joanna Partridge, Reuters

When I was thinking of adopting a retired racing greyhound I was told by the rescue centre that when the dog initially came home it would be very confused and probably quite stressed. Most of these dogs, Tess included, are not used to living in a family home or indeed without other dogs so it can take them some time to settle in. The first few days with Tess were spent making sure she was OK, and getting her into her new routine. The first night she was with us she settled down to sleep really well, but on the second night she wasn't happy and started to howl although she did settle after a little while.
Since the third night she has been fine, and now she knows that when I lock the front door and start turning the lights off that it's bedtime, and she goes straight to her bed. What a little sweetie.
And we're beginning to understand one another a little better, I understand some of her signals that she wants to go out and she understands when I tell her 'NO' or 'stay'. She has started being a little playful, loves running around the garden and likes to have her ears rubbed. She's such a lovely, gentle dog and my girls absolutely love her (although they're now away on holiday with their dad so I have Tess all to myself at the moment).
A couple of days ago I was in the garden repotting some plants and tidying the patio area and Tess was lying nearby on the grass, basking in the sun. It gave me a really warm and fuzzy feeling, and now I understand what Imogen - who keeps whippets - means when she says that happiness is a warm dog. She's so right, and I'm so pleased!
If you are thinking of getting a dog, why not consider a greyhound - they make perfect family pets and there are hundreds of them waiting to be rehomed. Contact the Retired Greyhound Trust.

I like most people in to tech have a few arduino boards lying around. They are fun to play with and can on occasion be used to do some really useful and/or creative stuff. I recently reinstalled Gentoo on my desktop to move the system to encrypted drives, so of course setting up the arduino IDE was a task to be completed.
These are my notes:
- Install layman. This is required for the local build tools and such:
emerge -aq layman
- Step 2) Edit "/etc/portage/make.conf" to use layman accordingly by adding:
source /var/lib/layman/make.conf PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage $PORTDIR_OVERLAY"
- Step 3) Install arduino:
emerge -aq arduino
- Step 4) Build the tool chain. This hit a glitch due to a bug related to the "sanitize" use flag. The command below sets an ENV variable to override this:
USE="-sanitize" crossdev -t avr
Assuing the bug is fixed it should work with just:
crossdev -t avr
- Link to the linker scripts. NOTE: the 2.25 is dependant on the actual version present in "/usr/lib/binutils/avr"
ln -s /usr/lib/binutils/avr/2.25/ldscripts /usr/avr/lib/ldscripts
- The java rxtx wants to create a lock file in "/var/lock". This is a symlink to "/run/lock". On my system it was owned by root:root, and of course we don't want to add users to the group "root" just to use serial ports. Also the permissions on "/run/lock" were set to 755 which would not allow a group member to write to it. Change the group and set the required permissions:
chown -R root:lock /run/lock chown -R root:lock /var/lock chmod -R 775 /run/lock
- Add the user to the needed groups. The -aG works out to -a = append to supplementary groups and -G list of groups separated by commas:
usermod -aG uucp,lock andarius
At this point I could fire up the arduino IDE, compile a sketch (horrible name…) and upload it to my OSEPP Pro.

A king hiding from enemies in a cave --- saw a spider trying to climb up --- each time it neared the roof it fell back.
King Bruce of Scotland fought against the English again and again. But he was always defeated at their hands. He was so disappointed that he ran away into a jungle and did himself in a cave.
One day he saw a spider trying to reach its cobweb near the ceiling. He saw it go up and fall down nine times. Nevertheless it did not lose heart. At last it tried for the tenth time, and its efforts were crowned with success. "If a spider, "he exclaimed, "can succeed by trying again and again, there is no reason why I should not. "He left the cave and led his forces against the English army once again. They fought hard and won the battle. Thus he succeeded in liberating his country.

Should you quit your job to follow your passion? Throw caution to the wind and pursue an artistic endeavor? Worry if your day job doesn't totally light you up inside?
These are the questions Tracey and I are addressing on this week's episode of Curious & Curiouser, in a conversation inspired by an email from one of our listeners.
We talk about what to do if you don't know what your passion is yet, describe our journeys to where we both are today in our own lives with regard to this topic, and explore the possibility that passion might just be overrated.
I talk about why I don't like the word "passion" as it relates to career paths and professional evolution, and we explore different ways of thinking about these things that allow for more freedom in the choices we might make along the way.
Tracey and I sincerely hope you enjoy this discussion and that you find it useful in your own lives.

As mentioned in the intro to this episode, Tracey and I are starting a new segment in which we introduce our listeners to something about which we are feeling excited and intrigued. We're calling it Piquing Our Curiosity, and each week, we'll share with you something we love that we think you might love, too.
This week, our pick is Brain Pickings, which is run by a wonderful woman, Maria Popova, who essentially reads everything ever written and then writes beautiful, thoughtful summaries of these various readings and shares them with the world for free. I am absolutely in love with this website and in awe of this woman. I highly encourage you to check out Brain Pickings here and to sign up for the weekly newsletter. You won't be disappointed. I have been introduced to countless works of art and writing and philosophy and history by regularly visiting this site. It is possibly my favorite place on the internet.
If you love it, too, you can also donate to Maria's efforts, as she runs this literary masterpiece all by herself, charges nothing for her services, and could really use the support. To learn more about Maria, please check out her interview with Krista Tippett on the On Being podcast, one of the best podcasts out there right now.
Remember, if you have any topics or questions you'd like us to address in a future episode comment here or email us at our joint email account: firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd love to hear from you!
Finally, please head over to iTunes and leave us a 5-star rating and/or review if you're enjoying the show. Please note that you have to search for Curious & Curiouser in iTunes in order to leave a review — even if you're already subscribed. Thanks so much for the support and for taking this annoying extra step to rate us. We really appreciate it!

As a landlord, you should really be worrying about getting sued for not handling your tenants properly. There are a lot of things you can do wrong that can get you sued, and we'll be discussing some of them in this article. Make sure that, while you're enjoying the money coming from the rent that your tenants pay, you're also making sure that you're making the tenants comfortable in the house that you've given them. You need to make sure that you're providing them with maintenance where maintenance is due. It is generally a good idea to have the maintenance deal included in the lease agreement when you sign it. If not, then you should at least make sure that you've got such agreements in writing somewhere, even if it's in email.
Now for the many things you can do as a landlord in order to reduce the rental liabilities:
1. Get insurance
You need to get insurance for your property, and make sure that it's the right one. You should never run the risk of not having insurance. It might seem like the insurance is unnecessary, but once you've suffered heavy losses due to being ignorant and careless in this regard, you'll understand why insurance is so important. You shouldn't learn your lesson after suffering losses, and should get insurance as soon as possible. Talk to your estate agent, and work out a coverage option which you think is enough.
2. Make sure your property stands strong
If people get hurt due to your property not being strong enough, or having issues with broken parts and such, you're sure to lose a lot of money in the process. Not only that, you'll have to live with the fact that your carelessness cost someone a lot of trouble and maybe even loss of limb. You can get into serious legal issues over this which can cost you a huge fortune, and is definitely not worth not maintaining your house properly. If you notice that there are problems with the house, or get complaints that the house isn't as it should be, you shouldn't waste any time at all in trying to figure out what's wrong and how to best tackle the problem. Don't be afraid to spend a lot of money on the maintenance process, as you stand to lose a lot more if you don't. Be a responsible landlord, and take care of the house.
3. Remove health and safety hazards from the house
If you get complaints of any sort of leakage, whether it is water or gas, you need to rush to face the problem immediately. If a small water pipe is leaking, making the floor wet, you need to seal it immediately. If a tenant gets injured over a problem like this, it's losses for you once again.
Being a landlord isn't all about getting money from tenants. You need to be responsible so that mutual business between you and your tenants continues.

Michelle Williams will probably get Oscar-nominated for her performance as the needy, insecure, tortured, yet magical Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn, and that's fine.
But Marilyn Monroe herself was never nominated!
Not for Some Like It Hot!
Or Bus Stop!
Or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes!
Or The Prince and the Showgirl, which My Week With Marilyn is all about the making of!
So I guess you can get a nomination for re-creating the production of that film, but not for having actually been in it.
The insanity at the time was that Marilyn was just a giddy sexpot, not an actress — a point of view she herself took to heart when she hung on to "the method" and depended on Paula Strasberg to trail her with gushing and motivations.
But that was a tragically misguided approach because in reality, Marilyn already had the gift!
She had a natural magnetic appeal, deft comic timing, and heartbreaking pathos, and she knew exactly what to do whenever a camera loomed.
She should have had an Oscar!

Brice Royer was diagnosed with a rare type of stomach cancer and began looking for the cause. He decided that if his life were filled with more love and sharing, rather than purchasing and selling, the simplicity might help to heal him.
He researched and found that many "gift economies" were popping up around the world that exist to share everything from housing to food to transportation, but there were none in his location of Vancouver, BC.
So, he wrote a blog post about it and opened a Facebook group and within weeks, 685 people joined from three cities.
"One of the group's most active members is Peter Endisch, a computer programmer turned environmental activist, who decided to give Royer his car — a 2000 minivan which he had planned to sell for $1,500 — after reading Royer's blog post."
The gift of the van inspired Royer to make a grand gesture of his own — gifting an ill woman with rent for an entire year.
Since the group launched, a cruise was given away, a kayak, and more.

Then, today I saw the semi-new Dr. Pepper ad which advertises the fact that there's 23 flavors in the drink. Coincidence?
Incidentally, it looks like one of the reasons Jim Carrey was chosen for the movie is that he is actually somewhat obsessed with the number 23 in real-life and has been for many years. Or maybe that's just a lie to promote the movie.

In the beginning of June, at Jeff and Jen's wedding, I got a chance to hang out with my friend, Ana, and her daughter, Kiana. Ana asked me if I could make her a bridesmaid dress for a wedding in September. She was tired of buying dresses that didn't fit her right.
It's fitting that I'm introducing you to Ana with a picture of me in my turquoise satin dress. I love this satin, and I knew I wanted to work with it again, so I went to Davey Fabrics to find some in navy blue, the colour Ana's dress needed to be. They happened to be out of navy, so I asked them to order it in, and I checked in with them for a couple weeks, and got my hands on it with just enough time to get the dress done a week before the wedding.
Other than the colour, she gave me free reign to choose a design that would be flattering to her figure. I browsed through the pattern catalogs and picked out Simplicity 2338. I liked that the dress had lots of seamlines to make adjustments on. We chose the long, sleeveless dress with the shawl collar (the red one).I wasn't sure what fitting issues we would have, but I knew I needed to do an FBA (Full Bust Adjustment). I found some great tutorials. One is from Sew Mama Sew, and the other is from Debbie Cooke at Stitches and Seams. It was surprisingly easy. I've never done an FBA before, but I did learn how to slash and spread patterns in Fashion College. I cut the bodice one size smaller and did a 2" FBA (1" on each side).
I sewed up a muslin, and for the most part, we were in the right ballpark. It was a little too tight, the armhole needed to be filled in, and I made a little fold in the middle of the armhole.
Here you can see that the dress fits her, but there is no ease. I also released the pleats so they would start at the empire waistline instead of being stitched down for several inches. If you look really closely, you can see on the left side of the back of the collar, I made 2 slashes to spread out the collar, as it didn't have enough curve to fit over the shoulder and lay nicely.
These are the changes I made to the side front bodice piece. I folded out the tuck in the middle of the armhole and released it into a dart at the bottom, I filled in the armhole, and I added 2" of ease to the bodice by adding 1" to the side seam of this piece only. If you look at the side shot above, you'll see that it pulls to the front, so this seemed logical to me. I also added 1" to the side front skirt piece at the waist, since it was doing the same thing.
Here is Ana at her second fitting, the lining stage. I used cotton/poly broadcloth for the bodice, as I always do for linings. This lining is the same as what I used for my turquoise satin dress. I happened to have scads of it, so I got to use it for 2 dresses! I still have a bunch left. As you can see, the center front waist seam is dropping down a bit, so I took that up by 3/4" at the center front.The bodice fits quite nicely now!
Adding 2" of ease made a huge difference in how this dress fits. Doesn't that look so much better? So, there you have a simple lesson in what 2" can do. Amazing.
Here is your first look at the muslin of the shawl collar. I added 2" to the bottom, which was quite a brain teaser, let me tell you! That pleat was confusing! I adjusted my pattern piece 3 different times, which included cutting, slashing, taping, cutting, slashing, and more taping. I'm not sure if I even know if I learned how to do it the right way is now that I'm done. Oh well! I achieved the length I needed, and that's all that matters.
Here you can see a little more clearly the slashes I made to the back of the collar. I spread 1" at the shoulder, and 2" closer to the back.
I know this looks like a finished dress, but looks can be deceiving! This was Ana's second last fitting, the satin stage. I have the satin assembled, but there are many finishing details that are not done. She's not even wearing the lining layer here. I had to take a few pieces apart and put them back together with the lining in the right order. But look how nice it fits! And now that she's wearing heels, we got to see how the dress hung without getting caught on the floor. I was so excited to see it turn out at this point!!! I just love this satin.
After spending a few more hours finishing said details, here is Ana in her finished dress. I was happy that this shot shows off the shawl collar quite well. Shiny satin is kinda hard to photograph.
I'm very happy with how well it fits, and the waist seam actually sits parallel to the floor! I'd say that's quite an achievement! The skirt hung so straight, I didn't have to pin it, I just measured an inch all the way around, and it was perfect! I love it when that happens!
And last but not least, the back shot. I don't know why, but I really love it when garments fit perfectly at the back. Maybe because it's difficult to acheive, and when you see it, it's a thing of beauty. I just love this dress, and Ana looks absolutely gorgeous in it!

Deborah Lipstadt
Deborah Lipstadt stuck a major blow against Holocaust deniers when she won her landmark libel case against David Irving. After earning a PhD from Brandeis in 1976, she became the first professor to teach Jewish studies at the University of Washington before teaching at UCLA for several years. In 1986, she published Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust 1933–1945, which investigated what Americans knew of Nazi atrocities at the time they happened. In 1993, she became professor at Emory University and published Denying the Holocaust, an analytical study which earned her the National Jewish Book Honor Award and led to President Clinton appointing her to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. David Irving, whom she had named a Holocaust denier in the book, sued her for libel, choosing to bring the case in British court, where the burden of proof would be on Lipstadt, not on himself. Lipstadt chose to remain silent at the trial and instead bring the best historical evidence to speak for her. After five years, the courts ruled in favor of Lipstadt in 2000. As of 2014, she continues to write and speak out against Holocaust denial and teach at Emory University.

[INTRO] Jeremy: What's up, guys. Jeremy and Geoff here for Fallout 4: the Alien Blaster location. Geoff: Oh, right! So just like in Fallout 3? Jeremy: Yeah, it's- the gun's pretty different actually. It's still super super powerful so this is the gun you're gonna want. I've read online- people have said that you need to complete this mission before you can find it. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but I'm showing you where the mission is just in case. If you go to the location and it's not there, then you need to complete this one. It's in the Malden Middle School. If you go into the basement- Geoff: Is that where you went to middle school? Jeremy: No it's not, but I've been to Malden several times, yeah. Geoff: How was it? Jeremy: It- it's alright. Sorry- [Geoff laughs] Jeremy: Sorry people from Malden- uhh But once you're in the basement, you'll find Vault 75 and get a mission down there just called "Vault 75". So you need to complete that mission which is pretty much just to explore it, and then head to the Beantown Brewery, which I'm assuming is supposed to be like the Sam Adams Brewery.
Geoff: Yeah, I would assume probably. Jeremy: That would be my guess. Once you're there, you're just gonna head South. You'll see a settlement on my map. You're gonna want to be directly east of that. So this is something that people have been looking for, or they're gonna be looking for once the game comes out, because this makes the game so much easier once you have this gun. Geoff: Is it the same as Fallout 3 where you have limited ammo? Jeremy: Yes, I think we find like 450 shots with it- Geoff: Wow. Jeremy: But I don't know if you can find ammo anywhere else in the game. I mean, in Fallout, there were certain places where you could get more. Geoff: Yeah, yeah. Jeremy: So maybe we'll find locations like that in the future. But once you see the settlement, it's kind of on my compass to the west there. I'm gonna show you in a second- yeah, it's right over there. So you want that directly west of you, and when you turn around and head east, you'll see kind of a trench that's on fire, and at the end of the trench is a crashed UFO.
Geoff: Huh. Jeremy: So in Fallout 3, when you got near the UFO, you got a ton of radiation. Geoff: Yeah. Jeremy: This one, you don't, you don't get any. So you can get as close as you want, kinda check it out, it's really cool-looking. And the trench is awesome. Like, I think people have said that you could even see it crash if you're from the right angle Geoff: Oh really. Jeremy: But I mean, it was just already here when I showed up. And I know I've been in this area before, so maybe I just missed it.
But you'll see this green blood splatter on the ground, and if you follow that North, then you're kinda tracking down whatever came off the ship here. So keep following it and you'll see kind of a cave in the rock face in the distance there. So this is like a CSI kind of thing. [Geoff laughs] Jeremy: Just following the blood and it's smeared on the wall, and you'll just kind of venture inside of this cave. It's actually like a travel point. I thought you would just kind of walk in. And once you're inside, you will encounter whoever was piloting the ship. Geoff: Is he still alive? Jeremy: HE IS. I thought he wasn't so- [Geoff laughs] Jeremy: And I was just like "Oh! Holy shit" so he stands up and just starts shooting at you. He doesn't actually have a lot of health. I was getting ready for a big fight, and just kind of exploded his everything. So there he goes- Geoff: Jesus. Jeremy: And when you go up to his body, you can loot it to find the Alien Blaster. And yeah, 482 rounds. [Geoff whistles] Jeremy: So that is what you want.
Here is the alien blaster riiiiight- it's gonna do a little cool turn around when you pick it up- Boop! Geoff: Is it super overpowered like in Fallout 3? Jeremy: Yes! But the main difference, I think between this one and the one in Fallout 3 is the projectiles from it actually move pretty slow. Like they kinda- they don't travel like a normal bullet, they kind of just wave through the air like I'm showing you. This is the Alien Blaster right here, and a bunch of ghouls. And the bullets- like see, they take a bit to get there. Geoff: Yeah. Jeremy: But it is just super overpowered, like it kills all these guys in one hit when they come up to me, like just boop. Geoff: Dude that's awesome. Jeremy: Yeah, it is really cool. And the other cool thing about it is that you can actually modify it. So you can give it like a longer barrel, if you want- Geoff: Huh, no shit. Jeremy: And you can give it, you know, a bigger magazine, a better grip, a scope- All kinds of stuff like that.
So it is actually a modifiable gun! So that's how they get the Alien Blaster in Fallout 4, Geoff. Geoff: I imagine that will be the first thing everybody does, after they get their first checkpoint outside of the vault. Jeremy: Yeah, I definitely think it's worth it, with some of the level that the enemies are on this. But you can get to level 270-something in this game, so- Geoff: Jesus Christ Jeremy: Feel free to get to that max level, and for more tips, tricks, and guides to Fallout 4, come to Achievement Hunter. Geoff: Hey that's us! [OUTRO].

We live in a world that holds competition at a high value. Let us look at the past week and determine whether this fact was true in our experience. Was there a time or place when we came up against the fact that being number ONE is of greatest importance?
By taking a good look at today's readings for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we see that our society, including each one of us, is faced with no small challenges. We hear about the apostles arguing among themselves as to who is the greatest, who is number one. St. James points out that jealousy, selfishness, and false ambitions are the sources of much disorder. And the book of Wisdom gives a description of a conspiracy being plotted against a righteous individual. Doesn't all this sound like the 21st century? Then we see Jesus bring a child into the midst of the disciples, inviting them, as it were, to live a simple, inconspicuous life so that others might simply live.
The scripture says that Jesus took the disciples inside the house. There he began to question them concerning the nature of their conversation. Notice that Jesus took them inside, away from the crowd. He proceeded to point out some issues about how to view who is important in life and who might fall into this category. The argument among the apostles about who is the greatest came to a halt, and in the quiet of the house, Jesus taught them about greatness in God's terms. Jesus turned their expectations, and ours, upside down by saying: the greatest becomes the least and the first becomes the last.

Microsoft's latest Windows 10 nag screen: Upgrade now, or upgrade tonight
By Adrian Kingsley-Hughes for Hardware 2.0 , with [edits by DoctorLaptop in brackets]
Microsoft is at it again with the Windows 10 upgrade nag screens, with the latest one giving users of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 the option to "upgrade now" or "upgrade tonight."
I like Windows 10 and I think users should seriously consider taking advantage of the free upgrade while it's on offer, [but only if they are absolutely sure their computer is Win 10 capable and all drivers are available, check the manufacturer's website for info regarding their model's Win 10 status and also do some research on Google regarding other user's attempts to upgrade that model]. But what I don't like is the aggressive (or at the very least, overzealous) way that Microsoft is pushing the upgrade to users.
InfoWorld has a screenshot of the latest upgrade prompt being presented to users.
To the average user it looks like they only have two options available: Upgrade now, or tonight. However, the more tech savvy users would probably assume they could use the "X" in the top-right of the box to dismiss it without making a choice, and they would be right. In fact, this is advice that Microsoft offers Windows users on its Safety and Security Center portal.
This is the latest in a series of Windows 10 upgrade nags that Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 customers have been subjected to. This is the sort of nag screen I'd expect from a shady website or sketchy adware installer , not an operating system, and it makes me uncomfortable to see Microsoft going down this road.
If Microsoft were to add a "not now" and a "no thanks" option to this prompt then I'd be fine with it, but in its current format it has clearly been designed to push users into upgrading by not offering them a clear way to opt out. It's an older-than-dirt sales trick (known as The Assumed Sale), that makes out that the deal is done, and all you have left to do is choose the color of the car you've bought.
I'm at a loss to explain why it's being used. Is it a company being overenthusiastic about its new product? Is it the marketing people being given too much say in how the upgrade is being pushed? Or is it desperation arising from the fear that bold targets set before Windows 10 was released won't be met

Changes to UK copyright law will soon mean that you may need to take out a license to photograph classic designer objects even if you own them.
That's the result of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, which extends the copyright of artistic objects like designer chairs from 25 years after they were first marketed to 70 years after the creator's death. In most cases, that will be well over a hundred years after the object was designed. During that period, taking a photo of the item will often require a license from the copyright owner regardless of who owns the particular object in question.

Windows 10 Trends and Tips
–If you are using a 3rd party backup program on Win 7 or 8, be sure to keep a backup copy of that program's installer. Some of these backup programs have updated to new versions THAT CANNOT READ THE OLD VERSION'S BACKUP FILES!!! When it comes time to move data from those old backups to a new system you can install the old backup program you saved (in Win 10 you may need to use Compatibility Mode to do this) to allow the transfer of the old backups as a new version of the backup program may be unable to do this.
-I am seeing a lot of comments on the techie blogs that persons who have done the Windows 10 Upgrade have found their old data deleted! It is supposed to automatically be copied onto the System Drive (usually the C: drive) in a folder named windows.old. Yet this sometimes fails. So be sure to have complete backups of your data onto an external memory device before doing the upgrade.
-Some Win 7 & 8 users are claiming they awoke to find the Windows 10 Upgrade installed on it's own, even after users had declined or delayed the offer. Other users claim this happened to them despite having installed special programs to prevent the Win 10 Upgrade. What's worse is that many of these computers now converted to Win 10 had either failed to fully complete the process and became unbootable, or were missing drivers for essential functions like USB, wifi and Bluetooth. Even worse is if the video driver fails, that essentially bricks the unit forcing you to manually re-install the old operating system.
-If you have Win 10 installed and change any security settings,or use a 3rd party program like GWX to control all the security settings in one window, be aware that any new Win 10 updates you do may reset the security settings to their default despite the program you installed. You will need to open that program and restore all the settings to the way you wanted them.
Beware when buying memory cards and USB flash drives on-line.
On-line stores, and especially E-Bay sellers, have been reported for selling counterfeit memory cards and drives. These will be labeled as major brands (Toshiba, Kingston, etc.), in large sizes, 32 to 128Gb; in reality you get 2 Gb.
Happy Holidays To All, and remember, I will be working thru the holidays, available to do setups, installs or otherwise solve your tech issues!

December 11th, 2016 -- by Bacchus
It's generally true that if you wait long enough, even the most conservative porn eventually starts to reveal little hints about the sex lives of the people who make it. I was struck by this fact in the recent movie Blackmail Lust, where (disregarding the ostensible narrative frame, as one always ought to when viewing porn) the parties are documenting (as so many do these days) the sex they are having while they are having it, and the fact of doing so is a big part of the fun:
From Sex And Submission, which is now part of the Kink Unlimited product.

College Board Liberalism
National standardized tests are the last places I would expect a liberal to dominate (well, except for AP US History). I found multiple left-slanted questions on, of all tests, the English Composition Test (similar to the SATII Writing test). So much for politics staying out of education. They started attacking our roots ever since the 1970's.
Identifying sentence errors:
"Undoubtedly, more voters in the urban areas will have voted for her if Juanita Morton had taken a less conservative stance."
Lemme guess: the error is "conservative."
"Introducing new ideas or even reestablishing old ones is always a highly controversial matter, especially in a pluralistic and changing democratic society."
Way to contradict yourselves idiots. A democratic society constantly changes BECAUSE it's the easiest society to discuss and debate your ideas, not because it's "especially the hardest place to introduce new ideas." Try proposing democracy in China and see how far you get. I already have $25,000 set aside for each of you to try to bail you out.
"Modern Yugoslavs are committed to self-managed socialism, a system under which the workers rather than the state, owns most enterprises."
How much did the socialists pay you to put this one on the test? Notice the extremely apologetic and even promotional tone of the question.
"Shrewd politicians speculate that people will stand in line longer at the polls to vote against somebody than they will voting for somebody."
So that's why the Democrats talk down very single thing the Republicans propose and do; build enough opposition against them, and you'll have people waiting half an hour at the polls just vote against the Republicans. Reality check Dr. Dean. Your 50 States Victory program will never work--not so long as Americans retain their ability to think for themselves.
"Because Burns had a strong sense of social justice, she protested over her party's failure to support a tax decrease for senior citizens"
Sounds like a blatant criticism of conservatism. I willing to bet you that the original sentence had "health care" instead of "a tax decrease," before a more level-headed editor made them take it out and replace it (either that or they're being sly through subtlety).
"Through the artful use of flattery, this fashion designer manags to overwork seamstresses, underpay models, and, most important, manipulates the tastes of buyers, both male and female."
Because we all know corporations are evil and advertisements are just brainwashing tools. What's wrong with praising your workers? An employer's lack of appreciation is why workers' unions start bitching in the first place.
"It is doubtful that economists ever meant to suggest that stock-market gains are a completely reliant index of the health of the economy."
OH NOEZ! IT'S T3H EV1L CORPORATIONS AGAIN!!!11oneoneone.
Sentence corrections:
"The President's personal adviser can exercise enormous power despite the fact of no election being held for the position."
"Althrough several groups were absolutely opposed to the outside support given the revolutionary government, other groups were as equal in their adamant approval of that support."
This test was written in the 70's. You make your own interpretation of this question.
"The filibuster on voting-rights legislation went on for three days and nights; senators slept when they could on benches in the hall."
It's the 70's. The Civil Rights Act is in full effect. Why are you still bitching about voting rights?
"Because the workers approached their jobs with very little interest and almost no energy, their productivity was, not surprisingly, very low."
More Union rambling. Americans have some of the best (maybe even the best) working conditions in the world. Workers take WAY too much for granted, so stop bitching.
And here's the clincher--question 90 on a 90-question test:
"Western civilization, often by questionable means, attempted to bring their version of progress to nonindustrial societies."
Because we all know that Western civilization is evil. Besides code of law, philosophy, chemistry, physics, modern medicine, sanitation, electricity, computers, and space travel, what has Western civilization contributed to the world? Yet another anti-Western anti-corporate hippie in charge of editing this test. Living conditions became a lot better AFTER industrialization and westernization than conditions before. This one really gets me worked up.
So far you've seen isolated examples from public schools, isolated examples from state-run exams, and examples from US History textbooks. Now you've seen this. If you're still not convinced there's indoctrination, then you my friend are completely brainwashed.

The European markets have been waiting for the ECB (European Central Bank) decisions, hoping that Mario Draghi go through with the promise of applying greater expansive measures, as a reduction in the rate applied to financial institutions on capital deposited in the ECB, from the current -0.30% to -0.40%. It aimed to encourage giving out more loans and credit as well as an extension of the purchase amount of monthly debt which is 60,000 million Euros per month, bringing it to 80,000 million in order to manage more liquidity in the market, that means, more money provide to banks and include the purchase of corporate bonds.
Finally, the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced its version of exchange rates, which are as follows: the reference interest rate in the Eurozone becomes 0%, from the previous 0.05%. There is also a 10 basis points cut from the interest rate applied to the deposit facility, which will become -0.40% from the current -0.30%, an unusual move intended to encourage banks to lend rather than storing reserves; there is also an extension from 60,000 to 80,000 million of the volume of monthly debt that is possible buy starting from April.
The data announced doesn't escape from the expected reality; the ECB presumes that the overall price level is going to be widely held below the 2% target over the next two years. According to his calculations, the general price level of the Eurozone will rebound a slight 0.1% this year, 1.3% in 2017 and 1.6% in 2018.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2.0 out now on iOS and (soon) Androidby Ryan Bloom May 15, 2013
Grab the Retro Engine update to Sonic 1
There never really was a specified date as to when, exactly, Taxman and Stealth's updated version of Sonic the Hedgehog would see release. Perhaps that's simply because it's not a new release, and is being sent out as an update to existing owners of the game – or maybe it's a result of Sega's seemingly barely-existent PR department.
Whatever that reason is, it's probably better suited for another article – because as of this writing, "Sonic the Hedgehog version 2.0″ is out now for iOS. If you're on an Android phone, you'll have to wait for tomorrow to grab the update.
If you don't already own Sonic the Hedgehog, you can buy it for the price of only $2.99. Information borrowed from iTunes follows:
Race at lightning speeds across seven classic zones as Sonic the Hedgehog. Run and spin through loop-de-loops as you collect rings and defeat enemies on your mission to save the world from the evil Dr. Eggman.
This re-mastered mobile version of the SEGA Genesis classic features the full "Sonic The Hedgehog" game, plus these EXCLUSIVE features:
Play as Sonic's friends Tails & Knuckles for the first time. Use their unique abilities to fly, climb, and glide around levels offering exciting new ways to explore.
Sonic The Hedgehog now plays in widescreen at a smooth 60FPS offering unrivalled performance and the game's legendary soundtrack has been fully re-mastered.
Challenge your friends in the new Time Attack Mode and check out how you rank with Leaderboards and Achievements.
Note: It's a new game! Your saved game files from previous versions will be incompatible with version 2.0.
While this is a monumental release, I still personally can't help but feel more than a little bummed out that there have been no announced plans of applying this update to the sub-par Xbox Live Arcade or Playstation Network versions of Sonic.
We'll be sure to let you know when Sonic 2 updates. Stay tuned.

we reported (and almost no news channels outside Israel did) on Friday produced a pinpoint Israeli strike on several terrorists, identified by name in the Palestinian Arab media, later on Friday afternoon.
There then followed an onslaught of rockets from the vast arsenal held in Hamas-controlled Gaza that has continued until the last few hours. The details are important (if we want to understand the nature of terrorist-instigated warfare, that is) and since the Sabbath has just ended, we need some time to compile it. So please stay tuned. The IDF's incoming-rocket count up until an hour ago (7:30 pm Israel time) was 135.
While we prepare a report, we want to remind you of one aspect of what we wrote yesterday about the absence of news report attention when it's Israelis being pounded: "On the other hand, if and when Israel's military decides to strike back at the storage facilities that hold the thousands of Gazan Palestinian Arab missiles, watch how the news and photo editors spring to life."
Many people lack a factual understanding of events in our region because the media report them inadequately. We blog here because our daughter Malki, murdered at the age of 15 in a restaurant massacre in Jerusalem, was a victim of jihadist hatred and barbarism. For jihadism and terrorism to end in Israel, New York, Madrid, London and everywhere else, people first need to understand the scale on which it is happening and why. This ongoing war is killing us.

East Meets West: Indian Adaptations of Gothic and Swashbuckling Films: Rebecca and The Prisoner of Zenda
This article examines the Indian reproductions of Western films Rebecca and Prisoner of Zenda, arguing that they have led not just to imitations, but total appropriations of the themes, even though in the main framework the films follow the script of the originals closely. This article examines the two Indian films, Kohra (1964) and Jhinder Bondi (1961), arguing that they not only adapt, recast, and retell the stories of Rebecca and Prisoner of Zenda, but most importantly, reinvent an Indian setting and an era, especially with the aim of making them super hit movies. While these are popular movies, meant to entertain the audience — in the same way gothic and adventure stories are meant to capture the audience's gaze through suspense and thrill — we do notice fine touches that lift them above the level of blockbusters. It will point out how the Indianization really helps us to appreciate the divergences of eastern and western cultures, where they part and where they meet.

Don't Just Throw You Wine Rack On The Counter!
A counter top wine rack is a perfect solution for wine enthusiasts (or wine enthusiasts at heart) looking for a short term storage solution for smaller quantities of wine. Not only are they stylish, but they are also available in so many varieties of styles, materials and capacities that there is a counter top wine rack to fit the personal tastes of almost anyone. What most people don?t understand, however is that using a counter top wine rack is not as simple as placing it on a counter and filling it with bottles of wine. If your wine is going to be consumed quickly this might be ok, but if you are looking to store a bottle of wine for even more than a couple of weeks there are a few things which should be kept in mind to help keep your wine tasting it?s best when you pop the cork.
- Temperature: A wine rack should never be placed where it is going to be in close contact with extreme heat, whether it is a counter top wine rack, floor standing or wall mounted. Never place a wine rack near a heater, stove, oven or other appliance that generates heat. Wine that becomes too hot can ?cook? and degrades the wine. On the contrary, some wines should never be store in extreme cold either. For example, a wine rack storing red wine should never be stored near cold drafts.
- Sunlight: can also affect the aging process. It is important to keep wines out of direct sunlight, which is one reason many wines, especially reds, are distributed in tinted bottles. As such, white wines are usually the most susceptible to sunlight. Even though UV rays can still affect and if left long enough ruin, a bottle of wine, if your are using a counter top wine rack for short term storage of wine just keeping the bottles out of direct sunlight will be sufficient.
- Vibration: If storing wines for any length of time it is best to put it in a place where large heavy vibrations will not be occurring. For example in my kitchen I have an under counter washing machine/dryer which tends to vibrate and shake quite a bit when in the spin cycle. It would be unwise of me to put a counter top wine rack on that counter because the vibration from the washing machine would cause the wine to become shaken up and disturb the sediment.
Keeping these three simple factors in mind might initially make it a little more difficult to find the perfect place to put your counter top wine rack, but you will thank yourself for it when you open your first bottle of wine and it tastes perfect!
Finest Wine Racks is a major supplier of a variety of wine racks including wood wine racks, metal wine racks, counter top, floor standing wine racks and wine storage systems.
