Report From Afghanistan
My heroic brother-in-law Brian has just returned from Afghanistan. He was there to personally deliver police equipment donated to Brotherhood of the Badge to Afghani police personnel.
Here's his report, edited a bit:
Here's his report, edited a bit:
I just returned from Afghanistan last Sunday, from our 5th Middle East Mission for Brotherhood of the Badge. Prior to this mission, we already have outfitted 21,000 Iraqi Police Officers. Be aware that each those police were personally recruited, trained and in operations directly under US Military Troops of the 4th Infantry, the 101st Airborne and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. The result is numerous reports of Iraqi Police Officers' lives saved by our vests, 46 to 47 to date.Do consider contributing to Brotherhood of the Badge.
Are there corrupt police, police leaders and even the Ministry of the Interior (M.O.I.) in charge of the police? Yes. Are we making progress in a nation ruled for 1 1/2 generations under Saddam? That answer is yes too.
There is 20% more population in Afghanistan than Iraq and it is a larger country geographically as well. The total GNP was only $870 million for over 31,000,000 people. Because the Provinces have no tax revenues, the Province Governors had their controlled police do illegal checkpoints to rob people and send the money to the Governor.
Now, instead of sending a few officer candidates to the academy and them returning under the control of the Governors, it has changed. Under the FDD Program, all of the city's police are taken in one group to the academy. The city is back-filled with National Police Swat Teams. Then when all are trained together, developed with Anti-corruption training and then given raises of $30 to $100 monthly upon completion, they are returned and deployed as a unit.
That police unit is then under the American Eye and no longer under any control of the Governors. This has cut down on corruption, creates trust among the citizens and creates an Espirit de Corps unknown before. They are proud, capable and have new authority. They are embraced by the locals and the program is working city by city, district by district, province by province.
Is it perfect? No. Is it improving toward the Thin Blue Line new democracies require to succeed? Yes it is.
We received intelligence briefings from a law enforcement liaison who has been in Baghdad and now is in the Green Zone of Kabul, Afghanistan. That gentlemen said, "We have been able to really move forward with our training and equipping directly due to the Brotherhood of the Badge program." The Afghan Minister of Police asked how many of their police we could equip and we asked how many will they have. We will have 82,000 police per the Minister, and our response was, "From the 850,000 police, sheriffs and law enforcement officers of the United States, we will equip 82,000 police officers from our officer's equipment donations."
We only require the US military provide us Space Available on transport airplanes, as we have spent over $120,000 in shipping expenses and cannot do more. We have supplied over $10.5 million worth of gear to Iraq, collecting the gear from law enforcement agencies from California to New York. We have received as few as five ballistic vests from a small eastern city, to Orange County (CA) Police agencies under the leadership of the Santa Ana Police Department Chief Paul Walters, with $2 million of gear donated from 19 cities.
This small group of volunteers, six of us total, in the Brotherhood of the Badge have worked tirelessly for four years to help our new Brothers in Blue. Meeting with our troops in the Middle East and the local police officers, who all express their need and appreciation, make every minute of that effort worth working. Freedom marches as a result of the officers we equip, one officer at a time.

Nobody is saying that such changes should be done right now or in the near future, but that there should be a plan about them. I am sure that nobody would say that keeping the current syntax like a rigid corset forever would benefit long-term evolution of the language.

This is the trolley problem. Everyone has heard something similar and there are an infinite number of variants. I remember them featuring heavily in high school R.E. and Philosophy lessons as a way to engage the class in debate and to help us easily understand the different philosophical approaches.
Now though they've recently been used by many as a way to ask what an autonomous vehicle would do in a situation where it could, let's say, either kill a group of pedestrians or kill the vehicle's passengers. I have a problem with this.
The first issue is that the situations often described are entirely unrealistic. I've seen everything from a cyclist pulling out to a group of children suddenly being in the road. When was the last time a group of pedestrians suddenly entered the road right in front of you? I've been driving for something like 8 years and it's certainly never happened to me. Yes, people can step out in to the road but the chances are you've seen them on the pavement, perhaps even looking as though they're about to cross. They certainly don't appear in the front of your vehicle to the point that an emergency stop isn't sufficient.
Secondly, we're saying that a vehicle will have the 'intelligence' to make reasoned and complex decisions within a matter of milliseconds but will not have the capability to either a) identify the situation unfolding and take proactive action (e.g. slowing down, pre-engaging brakes, changing lane) or b) take emergency action and very quickly bring the vehicle to a stop or avoid a collision altogether by some other means. In a situation where proactive action could not be taken why would the vehicle do anything but perform an emergency stop just as we do today? Surely if the vehicle has the technology to make complex decisions it will also have the technology to simply avoid a collision altogether (by a combination of reacting quickly and with advanced mechanics and materials i.e. braking systems).
Additionally, there is the issue that there is a huge degree of uncertainty in these situations, even those that are mildly realistic. How can the vehicle ever know how external actors are going to behave? For example, if there is going to be a collision between a vehicle and a cyclist how can the vehicle ever know how the cyclist is going to be behave in such a situation. Let's say the vehicle makes the decision to put itself in to a wall to avoid hitting the cyclist but the cyclist manages to move out of the way anyway. The vehicle has now potentially injured the passengers for no reason. My point here is that there are far too many variables and unknowns for a vehicle to ever do more than perform an emergency stop or take proactive action if it recognises a potential incident might happen. It is not unreasonable to say that the vehicle will always perform the action with the greatest certainty in the outcome and that will always be protecting itself (and therefore the passengers) as that's the only thing it has control over and the only thing it knows the behaviour of.
Now I'm not saying I don't like trolley problems in their entirety, they certainly have their place, as I mentioned at the start but I don't think that the application of autonomous vehicles is one of them. I will say this though, it has been great that these sorts of debates have and are being had but I don't see there ever being a decision like this being made by a vehicle.

Windows 7: Setting Up RAID
The two potential advantages of setting up hard drives in a RAID array seemed to be performance and/or safety. Among the many types of RAID arrays, some of the more frequently mentioned were RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.
RAID 0 used a "striping" approach where data was divided between hard drives. This was intended to speed up data reading. The drawback was that failure of either drive would mean loss of all data, since the data was stored on the drives in a puzzle-like form that could not be reconstructed without all of the pieces from both drives. If someone had a RAID 0 array containing 100 drives, and if the whole array would fail as soon as any one drive failed, the safety of the whole array would be only as great as the safety of its weakest drive. So the performance improvements of RAID 0 meant greater risk of data loss.
RAID 1 used a mirroring approach where everything was written onto disk 1, but simultaneously copied to disk 2. This would not speed things up at all; if anything, it would slow things down a bit, as the system coped with twice as much data. The purpose of RAID 1 was safety. Either drive could fail, and yet no data would be lost. If the computer was set up so as to let the user know that a drive had failed, then s/he could just replace the failed drive and let the RAID array fill in the new replacement with the current state of the data.
RAID 5 used a striping approach, for speed, combined with a distribution scheme for safety. A RAID 5 array would have at least three drives. Failure of one drive would reduce performance but would not result in data loss.
As of this writing, Microsoft was not providing clear information regarding which versions of Windows 7 offered which kinds of RAID. Informal reports indicated that only RAID0 and RAID1 were available in user versions of Win7, and that RAID5 (and perhaps other kinds) were available in server versions of Win7. Acronis said that RAID5 was available only in Windows Server 2000, 2003, and 2008. The approach I planned to take, then, was to set up a RAID0 array with good backup.
To set up the array, I typed diskmgmt.msc in the Start button > Search programs and files box. That opened up Disk Management. The disks I wanted to put into my array were Disk 0 and Disk 1. First, I wanted to set up a 50GB array called PROGRAMS to contain Windows program files. I right-clicked on the gray part of the Disk Management window where it said "Disk 0" and chose "New striped volume." This opened the New Striped Volume Wizard. I added Disk 0 and Disk 1 to the Selected box, specified 25600MB space (on each drive, for a total of 50GB). I looked into allocation unit size briefly and decided to stick with the default. As I had gathered elsewhere, I didn't have to worry about the question of converting the disks from basic to dynamic because that was unavoidable with striping, and now I was at the point where the wizard was going to take care of it.
There were some other things I wanted to put into RAID0 arrays for speed. Examples included virtual machines and files on which I would be doing video editing. I set up arrays for those. But there were also some things that I didn't want to put into a RAID0 array. These were items that were big and bulky, and therefore would take a lot of time to back up, but were not performance-intensive. General-purpose storage would fall into this category. If I wanted performance in that area, I could move those items out of storage and into a RAID0 workspace. For storage, I considered using a spanned volume that would put half of the data on each of the two hard drives, so as to reduce the amount of data that I would have to restore if either drive did fail. But it sounded like restoring data from a spanned volume could be tricky, so I thought I might just divide the stored data into two separate partitions, one on each disk. To do that, I used the "New simple volume" option in Disk Management.
There didn't seem to be any point in trying to set up a RAID volume for an Ubuntu dual-boot. This was software RAID, governed by the Windows operating system. Windows allowed the user to allocate only part of a drive to RAID, and as far as I knew Ubuntu set aside whole disks in a hardware RAID array. I did set aside some space for Ubuntu program installation, however.
With the partitions set up, the next goal was to restore my Windows 7 installation to the PROGRAMS array. That became a whole ordeal in itself, as described in a separate post.

The 7 Must-Have Healthy Cooking Appliances in your Kitchen
Our bodies are made up by what we consume, and while exercise plays a critical role in weight loss, diet also forms part of the equation. For someone interested in preparing healthy meals, it is essential that you invest in healthy cooking appliances. Read this article for a list of the 7 essential kitchen appliances that every healthy home requires.
Salad chopping tongs are must-haves for persons who want to eat more vegetables. You just need to throw in a couple of your healthy veggie varieties into a bowl then use this magic tool to do the rest. One desirable trait about the scissors is their ability to turn your vegetables into a quick meal because chopping time is reduced considerably.
A cold drink on a hot afternoon sounds like a good idea until you start thinking of soda or artificial juices. With a juicer from
, on the other hand, you can turn your home into a healthy one where everyone in need of a cold drink can run to for one.
Egg yolks are some of the sources of unhealthy calories. Many homeowners, however, are unable to separate them from the healthier egg whites because of the cumbersome and time-consuming processes involved. Thanks to the introduction of the yolk extractor, a gentle squeeze will separate the two, leaving you with the egg white for your cooking activities. Know more claims about cooking appliances at
Whoever said that healthy food does not look good has never come across a vegetable spiralizer. This healthy appliance creates strands of potato, zucchini, and cucumber that will make vegetables everyone's favorites foods. As a result, you can now get the perfect substitutes for the carb-filled pasta.
A vegetable corer is another healthy kitchen appliance that will make your meals exciting and good looking. Removing vegetable seeds and cores is a pesky exercise that takes a while, but with a corer, you can accomplish the task in a few seconds.
The craving for ice cream can easily make you spend cash on an unhealthy alternative, but with an ice cream maker, it is possible to make your own by mixing yogurt and a couple of your favorite fruits. For instance, you can make a delicious treat with several chopped bananas.
A digital kitchen scale is one piece of appliance that is critically needed in your kitchen if your meals are to be of proper proportions. Just place food items on the scale and get their weights on an LCD in units like kilograms, pounds, ounces, and grams. Visit
for more information on healthy food.

Cracks are appearing in the far-right English Defence League's (EDL) political ambitions, as its members favour the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) over its affiliate the British Freedom Party (BFP) - by a margin of almost three to one.
In November, the EDL revealed they were forming an alliance with the BFP, which was started by disgruntled former British National Partymembers, so that its supporters could seek political office in local elections.
The EDL forums, however, are showing a preference for anti-European Unionists UKIP over the BFP.
A straw poll on a forum thread shows that almost three times as many of the EDL's respondents will vote for UKIP over the BFP.
This split could scupper any formal move by the party to enter British politics.
"I suppose the 'official' EDL line will be vote BFP, but it seems most people are in the UKIP camp, which raises the issue of the anti-sharia vote fragmenting," said one user called "Sikh_supporter".
The EDL, led by sunbed shop owner Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, purports to campaign against "militant Islam" and insists it is not racist, though it has been heavily criticised for racism at its demonstrations, as well as for having links to fascists.
It had been rumoured that many EDL members were unhappy with forming a political alliance with a party, preferring to carry on as a protest group in towns and cities across Britain.
At the time of publishing, there was no response from the EDL to the request for a comment from the International Business Times UK.
A spokesman for UKIP, which describes itself as "libertarian and non-racist", said that "fair-minded people" would see the "significant differences" between the party and people who support the EDL.
While UKIP is "not comfortable" with its support base within the EDL, he said "people can vote for who they like".
The party has "very strict rules" on affiliations with racist organisations and any UKIP members found with ties to one are "chucked out", he said.
Nevertheless, in the case of organisations like the EDL where there is no formal membership, it is difficult to monitor if anyone is linked.
"To actively do something about it would be worse than our discomfort," he said, adding that the "depth of intrusion" required to vet someone's background would be "deeply un-British".

When Whistles announced that they would be showing at London Fashion Week, they certainly cemented there position at the very top end of affordable luxury fashion.
When they announced that they would be selling personalised, monogrammed clutch bags from their gorgeous Dover Street store, I was smitten.
For some unknown reason i'm a real sucker for anything personalised. I don't doubt that this comes from a childhood without any "personalised" items. After all, Edinburgh Zoo didn't do penguin magnets with Shona on them, and when my sisters got lovely personalised mugs, I got "To a Darling Daughter" because Shona is just not a name apparently. I'm not bitter- not bitter at all.
Well, thank you Whistles for bringing me a seriously stylish way to add a personal touch to my accessories collection- this beats a hairband hands down.
The best part is that this all feels rather high-end and luxurious, but it is not about to break the bank. At £95 for an initialled Delilah clutch (a simple but infinitely stylish zip-top pouch) this is a touch of class that won't devastate my student budget!
I am toying with treating myself to the sugary pink version, as modelled by Olivia Palermo, but if you are a rather more serious sort, you can also get the Delilah in black with aqua monogramming.
Unfortunately this service is not advertised on the Whistles website, but check it out here nonetheless and follow them on Twitter for regular updates @thisiswhistles

Blooming in the Sunken Garden at Phipps Conservatory, Pittsburgh.
Category Archives: Nature
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus)
Catalpa speciosa
There are two species of Catalpa (C. bignonioides and C. speciosa), both widely planted and hard to tell apart from each other. We identify this tree as C. speciosa because the Homewood Cemetery, where it was blooming in early June, identifies it as such. The Homewood Cemetery is also an arboretum, which is a beautiful combination.
Catalpas bloom for a brief period and then drop their thousands of blossoms on the ground. Since the flowers fall whole, and since they are rather large and heavy, the effect can be almost like snow.

The Serin Mystique, Volume 11, Issue 1
Welcome, dear reader, to another exciting issue of the Serin Mystique!
In this issue we gathered news from all over Serin, including a few juicy
stories about Nobles, glorious battles, memorials of the fallen,
and the creative works of our Chronicler Libera. We even have
a couple of guest articles from our Justice friends!
You can peruse the following sections:
Cabal affairs
Coterie affairs
Blood and Honor
We hope you enjoy the read!
Your favorite Heralds
The Thieves' guild has become rather popular of late. As many know,
thieves have been a nuisance that the Justice hasn't been able to snuff out.
The thieves are known to have smuggling routes above and below the streets
of Seringale, and often have much better access to them any the Justice do.
And with the Justice without an officer who can see those who hide in the
shadows, it leaves them in a state of perpetual vigilance.
Many members of the Justice have dealt with thieves, most if not all of
Justice disapprove the guild's actions. Kyrsztak, a Lieutenant of Justice,
claims that thieves bring disorder and law-breaking. He says that "Thieves
that break the law will come to Justice eventually." Showing his zeal
against the annoyance they have proven to be. He personally despises
thieves and said "That those who are thieves should not be surprised if they
are attacked by me."
A common thought from prominent citizens of Valour is that thieves are not
to be trusted. One of the Knights, Dame Morgolta, had this to say on the
topic of thieves. "They never fight you directly and they often knock you
out then do nasty things with drugs." Balan, the Executor, believes that
thieves are trouble too. Goron, a Noble of Valour, believes that there is
one thief who stands above the rest in recent days, Arunore. He says she
should not be trusted due to her past crimes against Valour's citizens.
Now we come to her, Arunore, this simple avian thief that has a bounty
placed upon her head by the Justice. Word on the street is that there is a
collective of thieves who has a mysterious entity behind it; current rumor
is that Arunore is the ringleader of this collective. Its primary goal is
to wreak havoc for the Justice. And she is doing a good job at making that
goal come forth.
Arunore is not alone in the realm though, another thief, Zytota, says that
thieves stick together. He believes in honor among thieves, but doesn't
have many thoughts otherwise. Another member of society, a Mystic, Varliv
the Encyclopedia of Ancients, Abecedarian and the current political advisor
to Legion says that Arunore is his 'battle sister'. He also claims that he
had aided her in gaining many of her guild's titles and went on adventures
with her as well. He does warn others to be wary of her, as she has proven
herself to be a very skilled thief.
Arunore still has a bounty upon her head by the Halls of Justice. One can
hope that she is brought to Justice soon, but if she has her way, the realm
would be hers for the picking.
Duke Libera, Herald of Valour
Vella, being the ever wishful trickster she thinks she is, attempted to
annoy and pester Rimera, former High Herald and now a simple member of
nobility. The Shade of Supplication was beginning to probe for rather
sensitive information on Rimera's decisions. After the Duchess told the
Countess enough is enough, Vella decided to make it very personal. Vella
spoke to Rimera and this is a direct quote, "Just looks like another washed
up Herald looking for a new home to get fat in." Rimera always tending to
be the epitome of lady like behavior, she lost it at the comment to her
previous profession. Rimera told Vella that her and her brothers, Gaelyn,
are both worthless traitors and that she is now but a noble over thieves and
whores. Not even a few hours after the argument, Gaelyn graces the realm
with his 'presence', and seeks Rimera without a second thought. Without any
decent armor or supplies, the duchess put up one good fight against the
Tenebrous Cavalier. But the moment she stepped into the Quire of the Temple
of Light, Gaelyn murdered Rimera in cold blood. Despite his normal snide
remarks, Gaelyn said only one thing to Rimera, "That is what you get for
offending my sister."
Scribed by Libera, telling given by Rimera
POKER! The pastime of many gamblers seems to have gotten a new twist,
staying in long enough to finish a round awards the players Herald Chips
which can be used to purchase fanciful things within The Herald's Hop, it is
located at the same place as Noldo's old shop. Once must merely have the
chips saved up to purchase. So, join in on the fun, play a few rounds of
poker at Jaloro's table in Mocker's Tavern, get drunk, eat some burgers and
nuts, have fun and get some fantastical prizes out of it through sheer
perseverance. One other way to gain some chips, pester your Heralds for
events, for they are often the prize for participating in such.
Scribed with a losing hand at Jaloro's poker table, by Libera
The Mocker's Tavern Poker Tourney was a rather decent hit. All slots
were sold out, but two participants were unable to attend due to unknown
circumstances. The game was between Duke Argos Greenwood, Wulfe of the
Mystics and Asgrel, a Dwarf Warrior. The game started out rough for Asgrel,
as he was losing hand after hand, he managed a lucky win, earning a place
back in the game, but it didn't last. He was the first to run out of funds.
It then came down between Argos and Wulfe. They went back and forth, but
soon the Duke gained the upper hand and managed to come out the winner of
the tourney. The Heralds may hold another tourney, due to the expressed
interest of individuals.
Duke Libera, Herald of Valour
Cabal affairs
The Knights are ever vigilant in guarding Valour from the forces that
seek it in ruin. Morgolta, a Champion is one who has done much in the name
of Valour, so much that the Lord Executor Balan saw it befitting that she be
promoted to General. She shows unparalleled courage when facing unknown
opponents. Always respecting those she meets and the laws of the realm.
And she is honorable in all of her doings, her word being her bond.
Fighting with Legion when they show their face, as well as others who seek
the destruction of Valour, the Knights are growing in strength with new
potential recruits. It is sure enough that the cavalry shows no care for
those who break their oaths, threaten Valour, or align themselves with the
Legion and their treacherous minions.
The current Knights are:
Balan, Adaus, Euriah, Gerrot, Gesthar, Grunnah, Ibaot, Kjarton, Morgolta,
Sidshirr and Vyrus
Scribed by Libera, Herald of Valour
The Keepers, ever an elusive bunch, seem to be warring with Justice yet
again. Crisbin seems to be outlawed for capturing Justice's item. It seems
that it is just Crisbin these days, but rumor has it that Fexis is now a
Keeper. One can never know, as the identity of Keepers seems to be
restricted from those of normal citizens.

Rumoured Members:
The Legion seem to have been stalking the shadows, keeping from the realm
except for few precious moments to strike and gain power. Most of their
members are unknown to many except for the most infamous ones, such as
Gaelyn and Lucidique. The Legion seems to be ever supported by the Earls
and Countesses of Darkhaven, who seemed be just as reclusive and sticking to
the shadows as the Legion. Darzavius seems to have shown himself from the
shadows, collecting a contract that had been on the head of a Herald.
Known members:
Gaelyn, Lucidique, Darzavius
The officers of Justice are doing an outstanding job upholding the peace.
They face their threats with all their might. They face the threats that
disturb the peace, namely the troublesome rogues who cling to the shadows.
They have not fallen in the loss of Captain Rheloth, as Kewlin has taken all
that he has learned to become a Captain, something that Fynth, the Commander
of Justice, is proud of. Together they keep the streets of the cities safe.
Fynth has stated that the Law is in good hands. And that those who would be
chaos into the cities will suffer.

Coterie affairs
The Heralds have been idle for a while since the last Mystique was
release. They enjoyed their well-earned break and now they are back to
business. The Heralds have recruited some fresh quills and have been busy
at work. They gathered news and gossip from all towns and taverns through
their network of agents or over bars. The Heralds have also convened to
plan out a few events, but those things will be kept in the dark until such
a time let them be known. The Heralds have also worked with Noldo,
purchasing and renovating his shop into the Herald's Hop. The Heralds have
also started to take a more active approach in being social, with that, the
Heralds are now the bartenders of Mocker's Tavern, serving a variety of
drinks to all who frequent the tavern.
Known members:
Hilduin, Irion, Libera, Murciel, Prost, and Wreitha
The Mystics of Arcana are being a bit sparse, but are around. They are
willing to offer a helping hand to any who ask. They are often busy with
their mysterious works that goes by without many knowing what it is they do.
But rumors of moths, butterflies and cobwebs floating around the Ivory
Towers are circulating. It seems the Mystics are having issues getting some
'fresh meat' into their group. Particularly, they are lacking on female
presence. Any young women mages are highly recommended to precede their
application by chasing down Varliv and peppering him with hugs and kisses.

Nappy Knights
Everyone knows Balan. He's the big giant in charge of Knights, talks a
little funny... Well, even if you don't, that's really all you got to know.
He's the Knight's leader too. It's been a tough back and forth, but it
seems like the Knights have had it worst of all. They was fighting Legion
and always, then for a while Keepers thought they was too strong. And they
kept breaking the law, too, so they'd have to report for Justice, too.
Ain't been easy. I heard it from an anonymous source within the nobility
that Balan's been working so hard he keeps falling asleep on his horse.
Now, I ain't sure if Balan's tired, old, or going mad, but I wouldn't want
to stand too close if I was traveling with him.
- Kewlin, Captain of Justice, Former Herald
Well seems the Mystics are gaining in numbers, but you got to ask if you
want quality or quantity. Their newest recruit, Brelil, seems to be a bit
off his rocker if you ask me. I came about and all he could do was babble
about goats and such, saying he was promised some special staff if he could
get an army of goats... He died trying to accomplish this crazy scheme.
Have the Mystics fallen so low? Don't they screen their applicants more
than checking if they know how to create food?
You'll have to keep reading to find out!
- Kewlin, Captain of Justice, Former Herald
Word around the Palace is that there is a certain new Justice attempting
to woo Duchess Ysette Flecker. It is scandalous as she has not had an
attempt since her late husband's passing. She feels that the Justice, Tarn,
is coming on rather bluntly, but hasn't made much more than passing comments
it seems. Who knows what or when the young Justice will attempt his next
move. This information was dug out listening to many hushed conversations
between Ysette and a fellow Duchess, so it is from the mouth of one
involved, how false or true could it be?
Brought from the Parlor of the Palace, by Libera
In a daring display of drunken prowess, Duchess Rimera Galanodel, former
member of the Heralds stripped down to nothing, and then proceeded to run
through Seringale. It was quite the sight, and despite the streaking. It
seemed that a few members Valourian royalty had some issues behaving their
age with the influence of absinthe running through their systems, as they
broke down and started to act as children in the public eye. It took all of
Vanisse's might to calm the nobles down. Who knows if such an occurrence
will happen again?

Leocatus Summerton, once a citizen of Valour is now a member of Exile.
Having been a squire to Balan, the Executor himself, the Jotun Paladin
thought he knew better how a Knight should act. Despite the numerous
warnings given to the squire by his Lord and Commander, the boy persisted.
Leocatus soon found himself banished from Valour. Now lost and adrift, it
is unknown the fate of the boy who would be a Knight.
Scribed by Libera, told to by Balan
Word of an old document was brought to the attention of the Heralds; it
showed some interesting insight to Gaelyn, the current Forsaken. As all
know, faith in their deity is paramount for a Paladin. And in this
document, it says that as long as Gaelyn has faith in Myria, he would
succumb to the horrors he had witnessed. It seems that his faith was not as
strong as Gaelyn was tempted by power to prevent 'things' that could happen
to his dearest sister. But there is rumor that his faith in his chosen
deity isn't as strong. And the favor is returned that the one he follows is
losing belief in their subject. One can never know if such things are true.

I was about, working on some things while inside the palace when Arunore
asked for my assistance. I told her of my reluctance to assist due to her
past issues with Valour, when she told me something rather interesting.
She told me that she has no quarrels with the Nobles of Valour anymore, and
only seeks to fight Balan in one to one combat. She said that due to him
and Morgolta fighting her in a two on one fight it was 'unfair'. I was
suspicious of this, and she told me her side. Now as a noble and a friend
to many of the Knights and nobles, Balan included, I found it odd.
She has told me that she does not seek the blood of the nobles, but does
think that a noble should not be assisting a Justice who is fighting Legion.
I would have to agree with that one. Nobles should not in any way put
themself in harms why by assisting those outside of the Knights, regardless
of how well they can take care of themself.
People become Nobles because they choose to live life guarded by the
Knights, not cause issues for them.
And finally, Arunore told me that she wants to fight Balan, alone without
any aid from a fellow Knight. She called Balan a coward for not being
courageous enough to face her on his own. And since he is the Executor, he
is suppose to be the example for all other Knights.
The real question here is if Balan will accept her challenge a fight
Duke Libera, Herald of Valour
Blood and Honor
Keival, the Dark Knight started at Morgolta, Valour's General, issuing a
challenge to her. Morgolta answered with her weapon and incantations,
seeking Keival for being a follower of darkness. The battle started with
Keival chasing after Morgolta, she found him and initiated upon the
Dark-Knight, surprising him with her barrier causing his strikes to be
ineffective while he tried to find a way to harm her. He fled while
injured, but the General of Valour pursued with a righteous zeal, chasing
him and landing blows, preventing him from gaining useful supplies to fight
back with.
Keival was forced to resort to underhanded tricks, compelling things to
attack Morgolta to prevent her assault, and that trick stalled the invoker,
but she managed around it, continuing her hunt. It was soon though, that
she had to retreat and gather her wits, preparing for her next
confrontation. She found it soon, surprising Keival with a rather
destructive Hellstream. She continued her barrage of arcane might, forcing
the coward to flee from her spells. Sadly, the battle did not end with a
death, but a stalemate.
Duke Libera, Herald of Valour
Today I came across the corpse of Sair on the road to the city of
dwarves, by the bank of a swift stream. Her eyes gazed off into
nothingness, dull and glassy and dead. This surprised me. I'd
traveled with her for a brief time when, in her innocence, she'd
slain a creature and nearly wept for its loss. I'd postpone the
decision of whether or not to take her life myself until later,
I thought, and for it was granted this scene of butchery and
The only one likely to have done the deed was a ranger I'd seen
nearby. A far different sort than Sair, he cares little for the
lives of others. He goes by the name of Duarte.
Interestingly, just as I began stalking him he contacted me with
a request to enspell creatures to help him train, in so exposing
his location to me. I did as he asked, then promptly slew him in
cold blood the moment he turned his back.
His body lies in the elemental canyon, meticulously arranged to
rest in the same position as Sair, whom I have since granted a
proper burial.
"The Lost Pixie" - by Duke Libera, Herald of Valour
Once upon a time, there was a forest pixie that lived in a large forest.
Now this pixie may have lived in the forest his entire life, but there were
still parts of it that he has never been to. Since such is the decree of
the elders of his tribe. They stayed in their boundaries and nowhere else
as there was a possibility for danger of the one who left the area. One
day, the pixie was out adventuring in the area when he heard what sounding
like a river. He had never seen one before, only hearing tales of their
The pixie started to fly out towards river when he saw a mark on a tree, the
mark posting the boundary of his village. He was unsure what to do, he
wanted to go and see the river, and more of the world beyond, but wasn't
sure what to do. At first, he went home, but every day, he was called to
that same border, wanting to go further on. It wasn't until one day, he
heard something else, something that drove his curiosity to no end as he
crossed the border and flew to the where he heard the sound coming from.
The pixie came to the stream, and saw two wildcat kittens playing by the
stream. At first the pixie was on a branch watching as the two felines
played. They soon were pouncing on each other and pushing around. As what
one might expect, soon the playing caused some misfortune. One of the
kittens fell into the river. The soaked kitty was crying for help, holding
onto the roots of a tree with his claws as it was trying to not get swept
downstream. The kitten on the land wasn't sure how to help, as it cried
back trying to reach for it.
At this moment, the pixie stood up, about to go help them, but not knowing
what could happen stayed his actions. As he watched the kitten bob in the
water, begging for something to help it a larger cat come into view. It
heard the cries of its young and sought to help, at first the pixie was
relieved he wouldn't have to interfere, but soon realized that the mother
could not save its young. It was at this moment the pixie heard a voice
calling to him.
"Go, help it, you know you want to." The voice urged him.
"I do, but what would happen to me afterwards? I might get killed." The
pixie responded.
The voice was quiet for a bit before it responded, "Do not worry if you die.
For you were the more noble and just. You will have your place further on.
Are you going to let fear rule your life? You adventured past the boundary.
Why not go further and help those who need it. You can ask the tree to help
the kitten and its family will never know."
The pixie stood for a few moments more before he made his mind. "I'll
help it, because, it is what should be done." He said as he went to fly
down to the tree. His wings making little sounds that caught the attention
of the mother as he landed on the tree. He started to speak to it.
"Please tree, help the kitten. Please." The pixie asked.
The tree whispered back, "Why should I help it? It is hurting me and my
The pixie looked at the tree, "It is hurting you not intentionally. It only
wants to live, like you and me. Please help it and I'll make sure your
roots are tended to."
The tree made a sound as its leaves rustled and a groaning sound was heard
as the root that the kitten was attached to starts to move. The tree
carried the kitten to the side of the riverbank where its mother got it and
pulled it to safety. The pixie went down to the feline, seeing the kitten
was safe.
"Thank you, little one." The mother said as she lowered her head to the
"It came with a price; your young hurt this tree. It saved your young even
though it was hurting it. For that, something must come for it. The tree
wants a guardian; will you and your family guard it?" He asked.
The mother seemed uncertain at first; she wasn't sure what could happen as
the feline shook her head. "I can't. I can't risk my kittens' life to
guard this tree." She said. The tree grumbled as a root snaked out and
grabbed the kitten it saved.
The pixie flew up and spoke to the tree "Please don't how about this, you
both work together to help each other? The tree could grow some roots, and
maybe you could guard the other trees around and ask if they would help make
a barrier for your kittens to play safely." The tree stopped and it rustled
as a few others in the area did as well.
The mother nodded. "If the trees help protect my young then I and my young
will protect them as well." The trees rustled some more and then it
A few trees started to move their roots making a fence that blocked off the
river bank as the tree set the kitten down. The pixie thanked the tree for
saving the kitten and went to the mother. "Please be kind to them. They
will help you protect your young as they will grow to protect them."
The pixie flew off, happy that the voice urged him to be stronger than his
fears. The pixie did not return to his village, as he set about, helping
more who needed it and soon making plenty of friends to be with.
How I almotht ate the Flailmathter, by Fynth, recorded verbatim by
There we were, Flailmathter and I... Thtanding at the bottom of Mount
Omedan. There were thome other people there, but they were the kind of
people who don't have nameth.
Wait, they were named he and thhe. That'th right.
Anyway, he thaid, let'th climb to the top of that mountain. I think I left
my laundry up there. Flailmathter, being a nithe guy and more than a little
gullible, thaid thure. Tho we thtarted walking up the mountain.
Wouldn't you know there were thtone giantth and crazy druidth and weird
monkth up there trying to kill uth while we climbed. I would've jutht
killed a criminal and took hith thhirt, but thith guy wath thtubborn. Tho
we climbed and climbed...
Turnth out thome big ranger baron with pet bearth and pantherth found hith
thhirt and put it on. Tho of courthe that led to fighting and people'th
feelingth got hurt.
Well, people have feelingth in their heart, right?
I remember ripping out hith heart, but 'he' ripped off hith thleeveth to get
the thhirt back. Anyway, 'he' and 'thhe' ran into thome athhathhinth on the
mountain. They were acting like ninjath and trying to kill all of uth. Me
and Flailmathter were fighting like rabid hyenath fueled by firebreather.
'He' and 'thhe' uthed thome kind of magic to flee the mountain and go to
their templeth. I think they wanted to wathh the thhirt after that thtinky
guy had it on.
Tho there we were, thtranded on the thide of a mountain thircled by
athhathhinth and thothe crazy druidth. It wath alright at firtht. We
killed a couple that wandered too clothe, but then we got hungry.
We thtarted eating our bootth, but they don't thit well in my belly. Dirt
didn't help either. That wath when we realized we were dying.
We were doing a real good job of pretending we were jutht out camping and we
thlept a lot. We were getting real irritable. I'd go berzerk over the
thlightetht thing. Then we realized the hunger didn't hurt tho bad when we
were mad. Tho we'd throw rockth at each other and thtay mad, until we were
tied of being mad, then we'd be tired tho we thlept. It wath mitherable.
We were drinking Defender pothunth and purple pothunth to make the hunger
painth hurt a little lethh.
You don't REALLY know a man until you nibble on hith ear. Turnth out the
Flailmathter tathted pretty good. After I bit him, we looked at each other
and both knew what wath gonna happen. One of uth had to thurvive to get our
Juthtithe paperwork back to Iluvim, tho the other had to be food.
(Fynth paused the story to eat bacon: Flailmathter wath good, but not
crunchy like thith.)
I wath gonna eat the partth of him that he didn't really need firtht.
Earlobeth, little toeth, and tho on. We were jutht about finithhed with our
litht of leatht important body partth when more crazieth approached.
Thethe were the kind that climb mountainth for fun. They gave uth food and
water. Then they uthed magic on uth to take uth home.
And that'th the thtory of the time I helped thomeone with laundry and
almotht ate the Flailmathter.
If you need to know, thothe people that rethcued uth were called 'them.'
Keep an eye out for them if you're on a mountain.
Many are at a loss of words when it came to the death of Rheloth the Dark
Sentinal, Captain of Justice. He served well under two commanders, the
first being Eloret and the second Fynth. He was known as a fierce warrior,
always seeking combat but always upholding his duty as a lawman first. He
always fought those who broke the law with a fervent passion. He was strong
in his own right and held himself with a large amount of honor. He always
gave his oppenents a warning before initiating combat with them, unless they
were a law breaking denizen. One thing that seems to be a common thought,
is that Rheloth will be missed.
At 5 o'clock am, Day of the Dragon Wars, 3rd Renewal of the Celestial of
Tolerance, Rheloth the Dark Sentinel, Captain of Justice died for the final
May halls of Justice ring with praise at his death.
Ona was a kind, compassionate, person who has had some trouble in her
life. She is missed, as many had close connections to her. She seemed to
have lost herself after she betrayed the teachings of Sedgwick. She brought
the best out of some of her closest friends, sharing joy and a willing hand
to whoever asked. It is often said to not speak ill of the dead, and to
only remember the good they have done. As such, I seek to keep her obituary
short. Ona was one of the eldest adventurers within society, and was dear
to many of high standing. One thing for certain is she would be missed.
At 6 o'clock pm, Day of the Taekir War, 9th Renewal of the Celestial of
Tolerance, Ona the Lost Sprite gave her last breath.
Below are the names of the recently departed that may have been in the
lives of some. May the gods speed them on to the path of eternal glory and
they be remembered for times to come. If their souls were shattered and
torn asunder by the might of the gods, may they know peace and rest in the
great beyond.
On the day of the Horizon, 31st Renewal of the Celestial of Prudence, Zarak
the Grand Master of Assassins gave his last breath.
On the day of Horizon, 6th Renewal of the Celestial of Tolerance, Velaco the
Battlemaster gave his last breath.
On the day of the Great War, 8th Renewal of the Celestial of Tolerance,
Gnefelum the Grand Master of Thieves gave his last breath.
On the day of the Great War, 14th Renewal of the Celestial of Tolerance,
Brelil the King of Devils gave his last breath.
On the day of the Great War, 14th Renewal of the Celestial of Tolerance,

On the day of the Fall of Thalos, 17th Renewal of the Celestial of
Tolerance, Liach the Holy Shaman gave his last breath.
On the Day of the Fall of Thalos, 18th Renewal of the Celestial of
Tolerance, Karum the Holy Knight gave his last breath.

Your hair is probably one of the most important things that you take care of on your body. One of the main reasons people primarily focus on the health of their hair, and making sure they are taking care of it, is that they want a full head of hair when they get older.
Many people are scared of going bald, and it is true that in order to keep your hair into old age you have to be able to put good products on it and also use machines that will prolong its life.
Today we are primarily focusing on hair spa steam machines. These are machines that can improve the look of your hair, help style and dry it, so that it never just sits there on your head.
Of course, there's natural ways to prevent hair fall too.
If you really want to change the way your hair looks, we recommend getting a hair spa steam machine. What one should you buy and how should you use one?
Using a hair spa steam machine
While it varies per product, we have included how to use the average hair spa steam machine. The first thing that we recommend you do is take a shower beforehand. You can put product in your hair, or not, but we recommend getting it wet.
Depending on the steam machine that you own, you may be able to choose a spa steam setting and just sit there and let the machine do its magic. If you own a hair spa steam machine that is manual, then simply place your hair in and set a timer and let it dry on its own. They are very easy to use, and are different depending on what one you buy.
We have included two outlines of fantastic hair spa steam machines below. We hope that through the outline you can know how to use these specific products as well.
The D Salon Portable Professional Salon Hair Steamer
This product has a lot of features and is one of the most affordable hair spa steam machines on the market today. It can do the following:
- Opening that measures around 12 inches in diameter
- The opening is also 11 inches deep, this allows for a lot of hair to be steamed at once
- There is a timer on the D Salon Portable Professional Salon Hair Steamer that allows you to adjust what you want to use it
- The height can be easily adjusted as well, allowing you to use it no matter how tall you are
- Whenever there is no water placed inside the water jug, the machine has an automatic switch-off system so that it never breaks
- Uses 620 watts of power and also has casters that can swivel so you can easily move it around
- It is easy portable, with a base that is on 4 wheels. This makes it really easy to take mobile and also take it from place to place around your home
- Great size
- Fully adjustable
- Easy to take portable
- Could be a bit higher quality
The Ferty 900W Salon Hair Steamer
This is a higher end type of hair spa steam machine, and is more expensive. It is made out of the highest quality material and can do the following:
- Equipped with some of the best technology that uses an infrared ring that can easily rotate
- Dries the hair with the best and safest way possible
- Has the ability to operate accurately and aims to fully allow the hair to have the best texture and elasticity you could want
- Ferty 900W Salon Hair Steamertakes hair care very seriously, which is why it has been made with so much versatility through the multimode function
- The rotating ring on the hair dryer has the ability to accelerate your coloring and also dry your hair in the way that you want
- You can choose between doing a perm, a coloring, a treatment, a semi coloring, drying, or just plain heating
- A lot of functions
- Easy to use
- Fantastic technology
- Great high-end product
- Higher price point
As you can see both of our examples are wildly different, mainly because they are different ways to use a hair spa steam machine. However, the mechanisms are the same, and you set the type of steam you want and let the machine do its work!
It is time for you to really start caring about your hair and ensuring that you are doing all that you can to prolong the health and safety of the way you look. We wish you the very best when you buy a great hair spa steam machine!

This experience is open to Year 10 students who have developed leadership qualities throughout their time within the Academy. A successful initiative for over 15 years, Dreams and Teams is an international exchange programme with a Polish school from the rural village of Milikawo. We host students in our school for a week and plan and organise a range of activities to showcase what the North East has to offer. We visit local landmarks and try to immerse the Polish students in local heritage and culture. In return they do the same when we visit them. A sports festival is planned for the local community in both countries and the two schools work together as one to deliver this effectively,
This visit is unique. New friendships are made and are cemented over a lifetime. A popular visit with students and staff, it is a pinnacle of our year here at the Academy and will remain integral to the school for years to come.
Biddick is a popular and oversubscribed Academy, mainly serving the south of Washington, with around 1100 students on roll. We make a commitment to staffing and as a result we have one of the lowest teacher pupil ratios in the area.
Most of our students have English as a first language; the number of pupils with learning disabilities and the proportion entitled to free school meals are below average.

By Christen Petitt Hailey
Directed by Chris Holcom
Jul. 19 – 29, 2012
Thu. – Sat. 10pm, Sun. 6pm
Tickets: $15; $10 option for Jobsite season ticket holders.
Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center for the Performing Arts
Fraternal twins Mae and Jake own a dodgy beach bar and massage parlor. When they learn that Category 4 Hurricane Esmerelda is on the way, they do what comes naturally: throw a party and sing some karaoke. However, the forces of chaos, destruction, unrequited love, and poisonous hotdogs threaten to ruin everything. Chapel Perilous, directed by Jobsite Artistic Associate Chris Holcom, offers a disturbing and hilarious take on the well-known Florida tradition of hurricane parties.
Budding Tampa playwright Christen Petitt Hailey began work on this play during the summer of 2009. A lifelong Florida resident (and hostess of several of her own hurricane parties), the playwright wanted to bring to the stage that curious combination of good times, dread, uncertainty, powerlessness, alcohol and card games inherent in the atmosphere of the hurricane party.
"I think that I have created a new genre – the disaster comedy," said Hailey. "This genre allows for a heightened sense of urgency for the love story, a recklessness to the comedy, and turns a booze-fueled insult fest into a life-or-death situation."
Many of the situations, places and characters in Chapel Perilous are based on real events and people. Hailey was also inspired by a book published in 1997, Tampa Triangle: Dead Zone, about the many stories of paranormal activity in the Tampa Bay Area. "I wanted to write a play that has it all – a lesbian love story, comedy, singing, dance numbers, aliens, mobsters, strippers – things that the residents of Tampa Bay see every day and take in stride."
"The play partially revolves around the love story between Mae and Barra, the bartender," states Chris Holcom, director of previous Jobsite Theater hits such as The Odd Couple and Night of the Living Dead. "But it also touches on the secrets parents keep from their children, the complexities of the sibling relationship, paganism, the origins of Tarot, and mythology of the Holy Grail. It really does have something for everyone."
The play is for mature audiences only, due to adult situations, language, and a brief moment of nudity.

New Toy!Thursday, April 24th, 2008
After doing a bit of research, and some playing in shops and a friend's house, I went shopping last night and bought myself an Asus EEE.
So this is the first (hopefully of many) blog entries to be written on frodo, my new computer. Since any modern device has to have a name, and the default was horrible, I decided to call it frodo, since it's small (as you can see from the tape measure), but purposeful.
Since it runs linux, rather than windows, there's obviously a whole universe of things that I could break horribly, but needless to say I'm very excited about it. I've already noticed just from checking out what the internet says about the EEE that the Linux world is a bit different to windows. Nearly everything is open source, and there's a lot of passion and enthusiasm about everything. I'm really looking forward to getting into it properly.

Ghosts In The Family
By: Plutop
"They are still cleaning up after the plane crash from a week ago, it said so on the news," Marsha Bloom told her friend Holly Rudd. It was a pretty day in May; in fact, it was the last day of school for Marsha and Holly. "I hear everyone aboard was killed!" replied Holly. Marsha sat slowly chewing her last school lunch of the year. Marsha was a pretty fifteen-year-old with long light brown hair and eyes the color of the ocean. She was skinny and her skin as white as snow. Her friend Holly was quite different. She was plump with tan skin, green eyes, and hair dyed blue. The two girls had been friends for three years.
Marsha silently watched the kids at other tables. They were all laughing and cheering. Just then Holly flicked a pea at her. Marsha almost jumped. Holly and Marsha now joined in laughing. The bell rang and everyone rushed to dump their trays. Marsha and Holly waited for the line to get smaller and then they walked to the dump buckets.
After recess and a short awards ceremony, the students exchanged good-byes and they all went home. Marsha's mother picked her up and drove her to their little farm. Mr. Bloom was waiting for them. He hugged his daughter and told her to go search for Pep, their horse who jumped a fence and was in the cow pasture. Marsha changed clothes and went to look for the horse. She was deep in the pasture when suddenly a young boy appeared. Marsha called to him. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" He seemed surprised. "You can see me? Um . . . Can you hear me?" he asked her hopefully. "Why couldn't I? Are you feeling OK?" she replied, suddenly feeling sorry for the boy. "I'm dead. I feel nothing," he said, gritting his teeth.
Marsha soon learned that the boy was Greg Patterson and he had died in the plane crash. He and his brother Jay were now both ghosts and for some reason Marsha could see them and hear them, but not feel them.
Later, after Marsha left the woods with Greg, they met up with Jay. Marsha and Greg found a note saying that Mr. and Mrs. Bloom had gone to town. They walked into the living room and suddenly a radio clicked on in Marsha's room. They ran to the radio and there they met Jay. He was wearing underwear on his head, and dancing. "Hey brother! Doesn't being a ghost rock? No rules!" he shouted proudly. "She can see us," said Greg. "You mean, she isn't scared that her underwear is floating? She sees the head upon which it lies?" Jay replied in disbelief. "Indeed, I do," Marsha said, grabbing her underwear. "Stupid girl, stupid brother. I'll show them who is in control," chuckled Jay once the other 2 had left. "He is bad news, Marsha," said Greg as he ran off into the pasture. Marsha's parents were home. As soon as they walked in there was a crash and the vacuum fell over. Marsha saw what really happened though. Jay had pushed it. As the day went on things flew, fell, broke and banged. However, Mr. and Mrs. Bloom didn't suspect a thing.
For the next few days Marsha and Greg tried to reason with Jay but nothing worked. Jay pulled chairs out from under people, made things fall on them, and just scared them. The Bloom family was all bruised and beaten.
Marsha didn't let Jay know she was sad or in pain. Jay wanted to hurt her by hurting her and her family. She had to make him believe he had failed.
The next day was horrible. Marsha was just sitting by the stove stirring her soup and suddenly Jay grabbed her chair and she fell. As if that wasn't enough, he grabbed the hot soup and threw it on her. She was still able to fake that she was fine, but really she hurt all over.
Jay was mad, mad as possible. He had pulled every trick and every chair. Why didn't Marsha suffer?
That first day when Marsha met Greg, she called Holly and told her. Holly didn't believe her. Lately when Marsha called Holly, she started to cry in the middle of talking. Because of this, Holly started to believe Marsha. Marsha couldn't tell her parents about Jay because they might freak out and everything would go wrong. They might even try to get rid of Greg.
The next day, Jay told Marsha she was boring. He also told her what a foolish family she had. Then after his complaints, he left. He was never seen again by Marsha or Greg and he never bothered the Blooms again.
One Sunday in July, Marsha went to the pasture to see Greg. She did this everyday but this day was different. She told Greg to follow her. They walked for a long time and finally reached a cliff. "Where are we? What are we doing?" asked Greg. "We are not on your property anymore," added Greg quickly. "Greg, you are my friend. Don't you trust me?" Marsha replied. "I don't like my life. Everything goes wrong. It is so hectic," sighed Marsha. Greg sat in silence. "You are the only thing I live for," said Marsha in a calm quiet voice. "You may think what I'm about to do is crazy or stupid..." Marsha spoke in a scared yet joyful voice. "I want to join you." said Marsha, and with that, she ran off the cliff and fell to the rocks far below. Marsha Bloom was now a ghost.
The End

Today was about Satan and demons -- a continuation of The Lord's Prayer: Deliver us from the evil one.
I was taught about Satan and his demons when I was a child. My parents were very knowledgeable about the Bible. My father talked about end times and Armageddon and Jesus coming back and Russia and China invading Israel for as long as I can remember. Mother knew it, but didn't talk about those things. She was into playing hymns on the piano and having prayer meetings at our house. We had lots of sing-a-longs at the piano.
Mind you -- this was IN OUR HOME.
The men wore suits and ties. The women wore beautiful dresses or lacy blouses with full circle satiny skirts and high heels. I used to just stare at all of them from around the corner because we were supposed to be in bed. Sometimes we got to stay up for a little while, but not for long.
I remember one time my mother had lit a perfumed Avon candle just to make the house smell pretty. If someone lit one now, I would have to take off running for the hills due to allergies, but back then, I loved them. My sister and I actually sold Avon when we were teenagers, but that is another story.
Anyhow, when the ladies arrived, they would mention the candle. Mother would announce that she was buring a perfumed candle and ask how they liked it. They would all say it was very nice.
Later, Mother was in the other room -- probably preparing snacks in the kitchen -- and I overheard one lady say to another lady:
"Don't you think that candle is just a little TOO SICKENING!?"
It was a good thing they were there to pray because they obviously needed it, lol.
And I want to tell you about John Hagee's sermon!
He talked about when he went to Seminary and Graduate School and how he was never taught about the devil or demons. He said his Mother told him they were all in South America where the witchdoctors and occult were. Hagee asked one time WHAT kept the devils from crossing the Rio Grande.
Then he tells the story that I have heard many times about the rich lady that called him one day at the church. She did not go to his church, but she had driven by and seen the sign. The sign had a phone number on it you could call if you needed help. She said, "I need help, so I called." She asked him if he would come to her house, so he did.
He said her house was grand and beautiful. She also was beautiful. She asked him to come in and sit down. He did. I guess he was on one couch, and she was on another either next to him or across from him. He asked her what the problem was.
She said that something terrible had happened to her while she was playing with tarot cards the night before. She told him her husband was out of town on business a lot, and she was home alone. She spent her time playing occultic games and doing whatever one does with tarot cards. She said she had done it for years, but NOTHING like this had ever happened before.
He asked her again what happened.
She said she was playing with the cards when all of a sudden she heard footsteps coming into the house and down the hall and into the room where she was, and whatever it was ENTERED HER.
Hagee, of course, had no experience at all with demon possession or what to do about it. He did know about the scriptures in the Bible, however.
Hagee asked her how she KNEW "it" entered her. She told him she had been cursing and using the filthiest, most vile language. She said she had NEVER cursed in her life. She didn't talk like that. She told him she had filthy thoughts, and she felt like she could easily commit a horrendous act and not have the slightest pang of guilt about it.
Hagee had his Bible with him. Not knowing what to do, he decided to open his Bible and just READ the story of the demoniac who was possessed by many demons who called themselves "Legion". It begins at Mark 2:5 if you would like to read it. Hagee started reading. He looked over at the lady on the couch and was shocked to see her EYES WERE GLOWING and her face LOOKED LIKE A CAT and SHE WAS HISSING!
Hagee wanted to make make a grand exit through the nearest wall, but he did not. He kept reading.
The lady hissed LOUDER and her body became CONTORTED to where her head was bent down and her knees were pulled up to where her head was between her bent knees -- still on the couch! YIKES! She began cursing the filthiest language and GROWLED at Hagee WITH A MAN'S DEEP VOICE:
"I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate you, John Hagee!!!!"
Hagee finished the passage and then informed the demons what the Bible said about them. I don't recall the exact words. MY words would be: "In the name of Jesus, COME OUT!" His were like that.
All of a sudden, the woman uncurled and she collapsed onto the floor. She blinked her eyes as though waking up, and she asked Hagee HOW she got on the floor. He told her he believed she had been delivered. She asked, "What do I do know?" Hagee told her to gather up those cards and everything she had in her house having to do with the occult. He told her not to throw them away. He said to BURN ALL OF IT and to never touch it again.
When her husband came home, she told him about what happened. From that time on, the lady and her husband attended Hagee's church for the next ten years until he was transferred to another state.
Listen for yourselves at www.getv.org. He talks about another teenager that was possessed.
Okay, that was the sermon.
I finished a new blouse, but I think I'll show it to you tomorrow and tell you about my play day with Phylly yesterday. Somehow, playing with Phylly and sewing don't go well with today's sermon.
How is Jerry?
He had a pretty hard week. Nearly passed out several times, but if he just lands on the floor or in a chair, he will recover after about an hour. He tries to do too much, BUT too much has to be done.
We had to go back to his Mother's house and cut all the carpet and pad out from under the flooded closet. The bottom of the closet has 4 huge drawers. When they are pulled out, you can see the whole bottom of the closet. Jerry had to crawl inside and so did I, but we finally got the job done.
A picture is worth a thousand words...
And so Margaret doesn't yell at me for making Jerry do all this work, I took a picture of my hand pulling out all the wet pad. BELIEVE ME, if I could do it all myself -- and he would let me -- I would. I found that I was able to slice the carpet away from the floor with a mere 200 slices! We would still be there if Jerry hadn't done most of that part.
Gotta go. We are going to Hideaway Pizza.
Lindy is working, and we need Lindy-hugs!
We will load up the two cats and Jackie and head South in the morning.
Hugs, Joy

This is a good trick to hide your exe files into a jpg file..!
How about sending a trojan or a keylogger into your victim
using this trick..??
Firstly, create a new folder and make sure that
the options 'show hidden files and folders' is checked
and 'hide extensions for known file types' is
Basically what you need is to see hidden files
and see the extension of all your files on your pc.
Paste a copy of your server on the new created
folder. let's say it's called 'server.exe' (that's why you need the
extension of files showing, cause you need to see it to change it)
Now you're going to rename this 'server.exe'
to whatever you want, let's say for example 'picture.jpeg'
Windows is going to warn you if you really want
to change this extension from exe to jpeg, click YES.
Now create a shortcut of this 'picture.jpeg' in
the same folder.
Now that you have a shortcut, rename it to whatever
you want, for example, 'me.jpeg'.
Go to properties (on file me.jpeg) and now you
need to do some changes there.
First of all delete all the text on field 'Start
In' and leave it empty.
Then on field 'Target' you need to write the path
to open the other file (the server renamed 'picture.jpeg') so you
have to write this :-
'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c picture.jpeg'
The last field, 'c picture.jpeg' is always the
name of the first file. If you called the first file 'soccer.avi'
you gotta write 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c soccer.avi'.
So what you're doing is when someone clicks
on 'me.jpeg', a cmd will execute the other file 'picture.jpeg' and
the server will run.
On that file 'me.jpeg' (shortcut), go to properties
and you have an option to change the icon. Click that and a new window
will pop up and you have to write this :-
. Then press OK.
You can set the properties 'Hidden' for the first
file 'picture.jpeg' if you think it's better to get a connection
from someone.
But don't forget one thing, these 2 files
must always be together in the same folder and to get connected to
someone they must click on the shortcut created not on the first file.
So rename the files to whatever you want considering the person and
the knowledge they have on this matter.
For me for example I always want the shortcut
showing first so can be the first file to be opened. So I rename the
server to 'picture2.jpeg' and the shortcut to 'picture1.jpeg'.
This way the shortcut will show up first. If you set hidden properties
to the server 'picture.jpeg' then you don't have to bother with
this detail but I'm warning you, the hidden file will always
show up inside of a Zip or a Rar file.
So the best way to send these files together
to someone is compress them into Zip or Rar.
inside the Rar or Zip file you can see the files
properties and even after all this work you can see that the shortcut
is recognized like a shortcut but hopefully the person you sent this
too doesn't know that and is going to open it.

ROTC Classes
The Department of Military Science provides a program of leadership development which prepares college men and women for service as officers in the United States Army. After graduation, they serve as commissioned officers on active duty, or as an officer in an Army Reserve unit. To accomplish this, the department does the following:
- Prepares cadets to be commissioned as Second Lieutenants through a curriculum which develops leadership and management skills, and provides opportunities to utilize these skills in a variety of practical applications.
- Provides an understanding of how to lead and influence small organizations, with a strong emphasis on personal integrity, ethical decision making, goal setting, and mission accomplishment.
- Offers adventure training, such as rappelling, land-navigation, marksmanship, and, for selected students, airborne and air assault training and the opportunity to serve with active army units, worldwide, during the summer.
- UTC's ROTC, provides programs and experiences which increase self-confidence, self-discipline, physical stamina, poise, and other attributes essential to the development of a leader of character--one who is prepared to serve the nation or the commonwealth both in and out of uniform.
The curriculum and leader development programs of the Department of Military Science are mentally and physically challenging. Cadets learn individual soldier skills and undergo physical conditioning, beginning in the freshman year. On-campus instruction is done both in the classroom and in the field environment. Field trips expand the general knowledge of cadets and provide opportunities for practical leadership experience. Summer leadership evaluations occur between the junior and senior years at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Army ROTC offers the conventional four-year program where a student enters as a freshman. A three-year program for sophomores is also available. Additionally, a two-year program is offered for students who have been unable to participate as freshmen and sophomores. Placement credit may be requested by students with ROTC or JROTC experience, students currently serving in the Army Reserve or National Guard, or those who have had active military service.
For more information about the different levels of Military Science classes, MS I, MS II, MS III, and MS IV years click here.

Overweight and overlooked, Nola Devlin secretly recreates herself as the nation's sexiest advice columnist.
When Nola learns that the tabloid where she works as an editor is looking for a hot advice columnist, she eagerly applies for the job. However, thanks to her bulging belly and frumpy clothes, she is quickly dismissed. On a whim, she resends the company her résumé—this time with a new name, Belinda Apple, a London address and a sexy, mostly fake photo. Her bosses eat it up. Next thing she knows, she's churning out copy from London (wink, wink) and is the next big British sensation to hit the States. Absolutely everyone loves her wit, her charm and those cute pink cowboy boots she wears in her photo. In the meantime, back in the real world, Nola and two of her equally overweight friends have decided that it's time to curtail the cheesecake. The three enter into a pact—based on advice Belinda suggested in one of her columns—to lose weight and get healthy. As Nola struggles with her diet, she's also starting to feel crushed beneath the weight of her secret. None of her friends or family is aware of her alternative identity. And trouble is looming when she receives a note from the publisher saying that he is beginning to doubt that Belinda exists. All of a sudden, everyone, from the publisher's sexy son to Hollywood movie studios, is clamoring for a meeting with Belinda. Can Nola pull it off?
Delightful frolic from the author of the Bubbles series (Bubbles Betrothed, 2005, etc.), featuring an authentic woman who can't help but dabble in a little bit of fantasy.

Changes in diet may stop osteoporosis, which threatens every third woman and every fifth man. What should you do? Reduce the intake of proteins and sodium, increase the intake of vitamins and minerals.
Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to loss of bone mass and therefore easier bone fractures. Every third woman and every fifth man in the world has osteoporosis.
Symptoms of osteoporosis
The occurrence of osteoporosis may also be due to a chronic lack or a lower intake not only calcium but also vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K, B12 and B6. The bone density can be negatively affected by the increased intake of proteins, sodium, alcohol, caffeine, and smoking.
High intake of proteins, processed foods, and a way of life without much physical activity and movement can also contribute to the increased occurrence of osteoporosis in the older age.
What's good for bones and reduces chances for osteoporosis?
In the first place is CALCIUM
Daily adults need about 1300 milligrams of calcium. One liter of fresh milk containing about 1200 mg of calcium, and has a sufficient vitamin D in itself.
And other dairy products contain significant amounts of calcium, for example, various types of cheese, yogurt, and sour milk. Fish, honey, broccoli and spinach, lemon and orange bark, dried figs and dried plums, hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, pistachios and nuts are also recommended. Please note that calcium cannot be absorbed without vitamin D.
Eat more small meals
The body absorbs only 350 to 500 mg of calcium at once, so it is useful to divide the daily dose into several smaller meals. The best protection against osteoporosis is a balanced diet that includes a combination of milk and milk products, fish consumption, celery root, four to five dry figs or apricots. A daily dose of calcium can satisfy: one sardine, four dry figs and two cups of yoghurt.
Nutrition supplements
If someone does not have the chance to take the recommended daily dose of food, it is necessary to supplement it with calcium supplements that you can buy at healthy food stores, so keep in mind that they have as little calcium carbonate as possible.
Nothing without VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is created in the skin by the action of the sun and enough is about 15 minutes of sunbathing daily to meet the needs of the body. In foods vitamin D can be found in butter, yolk, liver oil from cod, as well as in ready-made preparations.
Before you can begin taking supplements of vitamin D, everyone should determine how much of this vitamin is lacking by simply determining blood levels. It is estimated that as much as 80 percent of the world's population has a lack of vitamin D. In the summer months, this vitamin can simply be "absorbed" by sunbathing, but only at a certain age. Older people, unfortunately, don't have enough enzymes that convert vitamin D in the skin in its active form.
Don't forget the plants
For the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis tea is prepared by making a mixture of 200 g of sage, 200 g of alfalfa and 200 g of horsetail. Three tablespoons of the mixture pour with half a liter of boiling water and immediately cover. After half an hour strain and drink during the day.
Exercise is MANDATORY
Physical activity increases bone mass before menopause and slows down the loss of bone after menopause. Bones become stronger with exercise as well as muscles. Exercises like: walking, running, weight training, tennis and aerobics are good for the bones. Intensity and duration of exercise depend on the person's health and must be agreed with the competent physician or trainer.
In a liter of white wine, add four tablespoons of rosemary leaves and 250 g of butter or fat. Cook for five to six minutes. Use the mixture cooled for the massage.
