Because I have too much respect for the word "beast"
Aiming for half the price (under $1500) and significant performance increases over my Sager NP8170, which has been stupid heavy, noisy, and hot since I took it out of the box four years ago. The lappy has always done everything I've asked it to - simultaneously streaming multiple camera live video and a separate live audio stream, running one fairly intensive game and a couple browser windows for chat and to monitor the stream on YouTube - I just want to do it cooler and quieter (below 30dB under load) while keeping the portability of the laptop. This is my first build, which I hope will give me some control dealing with DPC and IRQ issues. The Sager BIOS is useless. USB traffic appears to be one of my most problematic bottlenecks since adding a couple HD cams, and is also a critical issue for music recording, my other primary use with a RME UFX interface.
Sager NP8170 specs:
HM67 chipset
i7-2720QM @ 2.2GHz
Everything from Amazon except the case and Mushkin drive from Newegg (a couple rebates in there), Split some Amazon Chase reward points between the PSU and Samsung drive, which made me like those prices better lol - and kept me right on budget considering I spent twice as much on the GPU as I was planning to.
Fanless? Almost! I'm weird enough to try the CR-95C (plus I don't see how I could resist that sexy mofo) but I'm not insane. I love a great deal, but I love value even more, so keeping a balance between efficiency and power is important to me. That applies to everything from the hardware to the electricity bill to the OS - Not only is this my first build, I'm throwing Windows out the window. Maybe I am crazy!
Bioshock Infinite HIGH
Before BIOS update (Speedstep, Turbo off/CPU frequency scaling monitor Powersave)
After BIOS 2801 update (F5 optimized default/CPU frequency scaling monitor Performance)
CPU 64 GPU 67 - 39% GPU fan max
After BIOS update (F5 optimized default/CPU frequency scaling monitor Performance)
Shadow of Mordor LOW
(Replace CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor with CPU Frequency scaling indicator, sets all cores, but kept it on Powersave anyway because the game was running smooth as silk after some initial issues)
Steam was having a crazy Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal, so I couldn't resist picking up 3 or 4 games for less than SoM alone was going for the week before. Tell you what: I don't miss that portable idea ONE BIT. I knew Bioshock Infinite would be a breeze for the system, and I loved the original on PS3, so I got that first to just kinda burn in the GPU. Holy crap. That was the most intense gaming experience I've ever had. Mordor is a BLAST, too, I just don't yet see why it has to be so much more of a hog - but then, I haven't even bothered to push it past the default low settings it puts me at (which I found startling) - Could it look THAT MUCH MORE bitchin'?
I think I'm gonna be getting really into gaming.
...oh yeah, streaming! Well, I am loving Ubuntu MATE 15.10, my first Linux experience ever, but it's a good thing I like tweakin' around because it's gonna take some before I can get pro av happening - I did about a half dozen reinstalls before I realized a basic sensors app (lm-sensors) was resetting my sound preferences lol
Part Reviews
Clearly very popular. Chosen, like most of the parts for futureproofing: When the system starts feeling lackluster, I can overclock - Maybe I'll be over the bitchin' fanless cooler by then lol
CPU Cooler
Seriously. Love at first sight. Never understood windowed cases before. And BY GOD it WORKS!
USB 3.1/m.2 capable (futureproofing again) version of a popular Z97 board. Much sexier in person. Returned because I blamed it for the issues of a faulty power supply, and got back one that looked like the same thing happened to somebody else! The chipset looked like it took a little abuse. Working like a champ though, nice UEFI/BIOS.
Last time I bought memory, the only choice was between different capacities of green PCBs. When they say "low profile" they mean it! Very, very cool and simultaneously cute. 16G? Yeah, I guess I just like headroom (and I believe I've mentioned futureproofing).
Incidentally, ASUS means it when they insist you get memory on their fancy-schmancy list - The Z97-A/USB 3.1 sees these as 1333 out of the box. But their nice UEFI/BIOS makes that no problem at all.
Video Card
WOW. That thing is HEAVY. I mean, emotionally heavy more than by weight, but the last time I bought one it was essentially a green PCB. Like memory was. I'm getting old, huh? Anyway, considering I was looking at the 750 Ti STRIX (the whole series appeals to my love of efficiency),this was an equally popular and probably smarter choice I ended up spending twice as much for in the interest of futureproofing. I suddenly see myself getting into gaming.
A forerunner if not the undisputed champ of cool and quiet. Every little bit helps. Very popular among first-time builders. The CR-95C monster fanless cooler seduced me out of the portable idea. Good price for the windowed version. If it's as easy a case to work with for the first-time builder, as they say, as I am, I don't think I'll try a challenging one anytime soon. Clearly high quality though, I was happy with the nice chunky door panel, the insulating material, and the modularity. Fractal had to cut corners somewhere, and it kinda shows on the window and fan wires, though the fans themselves are very, very nice for stock chassis fans. Awfully thoughtful of them to put them in there.
Power Supply
Well, it's what they had down the street to replace the Seasonic SS-520FL2 520W Fanless 80 PLUS Platinum I originally bought. Which had a bad CPU rail. Which I didn't know until I got a replacement mobo. Thanks a lot, RackGo, I think you owe Asus an Apology. Still waiting for my refund - Got the mobo replacement the DAY AFTER Amazon SENT UPS WITH A SHIPPING LABEL to pick up the return. Which was the DAY AFTER I clicked the return button. Amazon Prime FTW. Always Prime. Always. Note to self. In any case, the Corsair is fine so far. I can hear the deathly silent Noctua on the back if I get my ear right up there, but not that PSU.
Case Fan
I first got a couple of these for a totally unrelated project, to cool pro audio gear in a closed cabinet. They've been running 24/7 for three months and I have to look all the time to see if they're running. Never heard 'em. And they work flawlessly with the PWM I send them via a thermistor stuck in an Arduino up there in the cabinet. There may be equally great quality out there, but you won't find better.

Donald Trump's consigliere (fixer) Michael Cohen once said he would "take a bullet for Donald Trump."
But today Michael Cohen entered into a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and agreed to be a cooperating witness. Just call Mikey Flipper today.
The big news: in counts seven and eight to which Michael Cohen plead guilty, involving payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal, Donald Trump is effectively identified as an unindicted co-conspirator, for the first time since Richard Nixon.
Bloomberg News reports from the courthouse, Cohen Faces December Sentencing on U.S. Charges: Plea Update:
Cohen Acted for Candidate in Violating Campaign Law (4:43 p.m.)
In acknowledging the charges against him, Cohen said he was directed to violate campaign law at the direction of a candidate for federal office. At the same candidate's direction, he said he paid $130,000 to somebody to keep them quiet, which was later repaid by the candidate. He didn't identify the candidate or the person who was paid, but those facts match Cohen's payment to Clifford [Stormy Daniels] and Trump's repayment.
Cohen Payment Was to Hide Alleged Affairs: U.S. (4:47 p.m.)
The prosecutor told the judge the purpose of the payments was to ensure that the individuals did not disclose "alleged affairs with the candidate." Besides the $130,000 payment, Cohen admitted to making an illegal contribution of $150,000, which was how much McDougal received from the National Enquirer's publisher to quash her story.
Lawfare Blog has a copy of the Michael Cohen plea agreement. Michael Cohen Plea Agreement (Scribd).
NBC News adds, Michael Cohen pleads guilty, says he paid hush money at Trump's direction:
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon to eight counts of tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations, including two counts related to hush money payments made to women — and said he made the payments "at the direction of the candidate," meaning Trump.
President Trump's name didn't come up in the federal courtroom in Manhattan, but Cohen said he had paid off porn actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy Model Karen McDougal "at the direction" of an unnamed candidate in 2016, and that the payments were for the "principal purpose for the principal purpose of influencing" the 2016 presidential election. Both Daniels and McDougal have said they had past relationships with Trump.
Asked if he knew that what he did was illegal, he told the court yes.
Cohen told the court that he and an executive from a media company, at the direction of a federal candidate, arranged to keep one of the alleged affairs from the public with a payment of $150,000. McDougal and her lawyers have said that the National Enquirer, run by Trump associate David Pecker, paid her $150,000 in August 2016 as part of a "catch-and-kill" strategy to keep the story from circulating publicly.
Cohen said in March that he had used money from a home equity loan to pay $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels, who has said she had an affair with Trump more than a decade ago.
He told the court Tuesday that after using the money from the loan for the payment, he was reimbursed by the unnamed candidate.
Cohen's sentencing has been scheduled for Dec. 12 at 11 a.m., and Cohen was released on $500,000 bail.
Cohen's plea deal does not include a provision that he must cooperate as a witness in federal investigations, according to one source. It includes a recommendation of jail time by prosecutors, and one source said the recommended sentence could range from three to six years.
It is not unusual that a cooperation agreement is not articulated in the plea deal, and it is not mentioned in open court (it is frequently under seal). The simple fact remains that there would not be a plea deal here if Michael Cohen is not cooperating in some respect with the U.S. Attorney. We just don't know the extent of his cooperation.
Now that the criminal case against Michael Cohen is wrapping up, this should allow Stormy Daniel's lawyer Michael Avenatti to obtain an order lifting the stay in his civil lawsuit against Donald Trump. As you might imagine, Avenatti is jubilant.
Occurring almost simultaneously, the jury in the first trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort came back with a guilty verdict on eight counts, but were hopelessly deadlocked on the ten other counts, for which the judge — whose own shockingly unprofessional conduct during trial in commenting on the evidence, the witnesses, and even the prosecutor' appearance and demeanor likely influenced the jurors and led to the deadlocked counts — declared a mistrial.
The New York Times reports, Paul Manafort Convicted in Fraud Trial:
Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign chairman, was convicted on Tuesday in his financial fraud trial, bringing a dramatic end to a politically charged case that riveted the capital.
The verdict was a victory for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, whose prosecutors built a case that Mr. Manafort hid millions of dollars in foreign accounts to evade taxes and lied to banks repeatedly to obtain $20 million in loans.
Mr. Manafort was convicted of five counts of tax fraud, two counts of bank fraud and one count of failure to disclose a foreign bank account. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on 10 of the 18 counts and the judge declared a mistrial on those charges.
Mr. Manafort faces a second criminal trial next month in Washington on seven other charges brought by the special counsel, including obstruction of justice, failure to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to launder money.
The Washington Post adds, Manafort convicted on 8 counts; mistrial declared on 10 others:
The jury convicted Manafort on eight of the 18 counts against him and said it was deadlocked on the other 10. U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis declared a mistrial on those charges.
* * *
Manafort, 69, was convicted of filing a false tax return in each of the years from 2010 through 2014, as well as not filing a form to report a foreign bank account as required in 2012. He was also convicted of two different instances of bank fraud, related to a $3.4 million loan from Citizens Bank and a $1 million loan from Banc of California.
The charges on which the jury deadlocked included three counts for not filing a form to report a foreign bank account, and seven for committing bank fraud or conspiring to commit bank fraud.
* * *
Once the jury left the courtroom, Ellis asked Manafort to approach the lectern. The judge told Manafort that he would be ordering a pre-sentencing report and it was important for Manafort to "pay careful attention to the preparation of the document." Manafort, in a black suit, listened as the judge explained the pre-sentencing process.
Manafort's possible prison sentence wasn't immediately clear, but legal experts said he likely faces more than a decade in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Manafort's guilty verdict may strengthen Mueller's hand as he continues to investigate possible conspiracy and seeks an interview with the president; an acquittal could have led to a broader effort by conservatives to shut down the special counsel's office.
Donald Trump continued his "witch hunt" assault on the Special Counsel in comments to the press on his way to another Trump Nuremberg Rally in West Virginia tonight, saying today's convictions do not involve Russians and collusion with the Russians by his campaign.
The Special Counsel has indicted the Russian troll farm, and has indicted Russian military intelligence (GRU) who ran the interference campaign in the 2016 election. Those indictments referred to Americans with whom the Russians were in contact.
Now would be a good time for the third tranche of the Russian interference campaign: the indictment of the Americans who conspired with the Russians, including Roger Stone (identified in the indictment of the Russian GRU), and Paul Manafort, Donald Trump. Jr., and Jared Kushner in the infamous Trump Tower meeting … and Donald Trump if he knew of the meeting in advance and approved soliciting "dirt" on his opponent from the Russians, which appears likely.
UPDATE: As if right on cue: Michael Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, in an interview on the Rachel Maddow Show said that Cohen has knowledge that should be of interest to Robert Mueller and he is happy to tell Mueller what he knows about the "possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election" and also what Trump knew about computer hacking of the DNC. Cohen more than happy to tell Mueller all that he knows: attorney (video).

November 18, 2015 (WAU) - South Sudan's Western Bahr el Ghazal state professors, teachers and students are advocating for introduction of local languages in schools.
At a board meeting held Tuesday at the University Bahr el Ghazal, those in attendance argued that local languages used by the country's main tribes be printed out in books.
Some of the languages spoken in the state are the ones that survived in books published either during the colonial times or by the Catholic church missionaries. These include, Ndogo, Luo, Balanda-Viri, Jieng, Yulu, Nbaya and Zande dialect.
Some of these languages are used in church worships and others are taught in schools.
The Commissioner for Arts and Culture, Alfred Derick Oya recently launched art and culture week in the state, which he said, would enable citizens showcase their work.
The African Writers' Day is dedicated to pay honor to renowned African authors like late Nigeria's Chinua Achebe and Uganda's Okot p' Bitek, among other celebrated writers.
"Communities across the region are in need to discover because their local languages, many can now know how to speak but not to write so we have call this forum to discuss possibilities of making this practical," said Oya.
"We are now talented as a nation and these are some of the questions to tackle as intellectuals," he added.
Eida Issa Hamid, a Wau resident from Yulu tribe said, "Most families in Western Bahr el Ghazal prefer to speak Arabic over their local languages while they do not even speak a single word in their mother's tongue which is very shameful,".
"You should be self-righteous of your own mother tongue because it is what determines your origin in the community," he stressed.


text: I have been working with this family since another one of my bar mitzvah moms convinced them that I was awesome. Two years ago I had an awesome time shooting Rachel's bat mitzvah and this year I am so excited to photograph Zach's bar mitzvah! With my bnai mitzvah collections, I love getting to do a family session. It is such an awesome time for the family and I think it should be remembered and celebrated. I love that I know this family enough to show up at their house slightly early just so I can catch up with them before frolicking around a lake in their neighborhood with them. My clients are the best!

This is a completed and painted, fixed-pose figure.
Kiriha "one of the most eccentric Tsukumogami" is known for acting impulsively and has little concern for the consequences of her actions. Maybe this is why she found herself wearing a school P.E. top...without any pants.. lying on a mat.. well, you get the picture! This normally kimono-clad blue haired "artifact spirit" has been transformed, with this detailed and pre-painted resin cast model.
- [Figure Size]: Approx. 12cm tall (with gym mat) 1/8th scale

Dangerous times
Monday night found me once again at the scene of a gang related shooting. Standing on a dark street in Tracy's south side I watched as officers searched for a gunman who opened fire into a crowd striking five, one critically.
I admit it I was nervous as I drove toward the latest shooting scene. Five injured, a gunman on the loose and I was heading straight for it as the clock neared midnight. I would much rather be on some mountain side taking pictures than on the side of a road lit by the glare of police car lights.
I don't think this violence will end anytime soon and that is a sad thing. I wonder how many more late night crime scenes I will have to visit as the violence continues.

Meet Zac – The Newest Member of the Team!
Meet Zac Giffin, Assistant Director, Special Programs, the newest member of the Duke Children's CMN Hospitals team!
Zac came to Duke Children's from East Tennessee Children's Hospital, where he served as the Children's Miracle Network Hospital Program Manager since July of 2015. Before that, Zac worked for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of East Tennessee, and led Dance Marathon at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, his alma mater. Zac shares his "why" below:
"'My why' began when I was a college student at the University of Tennessee. I have a friend who was a VP of UT Dance Marathon at the time, and she told me about this 'amazing' organization that 'I had to be a part of' (I think those were her actual words). Lucky for her, I can be talked into a lot of things, so I applied for the Dance Marathon Executive Committee on a whim, turning in my application literally minutes before the deadline. I could never have imagined that a program and opportunity would change my life the way that it has, leading me to working with the CMN program, first at East Tennessee Children's Hospital, and now with Duke Children's. I had a remarkable final three years at UT, and most of it had to do with being involved with Dance Marathon. East Tennessee Children's Hospital is steps away from UT, so I had a chance to not only make a difference, but I could see it in full color right in front of my eyes. The relationships that I have built with friends, coworkers, and most of all, the kiddos and their families, have changed me more than I think I will ever realize. I guess you could say I'm really and truly FTK!"
Zac will be working to take our existing dance marathons to a new fund-raising level, and will be mentoring other schools that are currently planning to initiate dance marathons. Zac will also be the staff lead for Extra Life, and will be stewarding our corporate partners in the Triad area. You can reach Zac at 919-385-3140 or email@example.com.
Curious about our other team members, who they are, and how to reach them? Read on!

Dulwich College c.1869
A large group of workmen were engaged, in October 1867, in work at Dulwich School (also know as Dulwich college). The college had been in existence since the early 17th century and in the late 1860s it moved to its present site in south east London and a purpose built school, designed by Charles Barry (jnr) was constructed.
This was a large project and today's case (from the Lambeth Police Court) reveals that somewhere around 30-40 carpenters and plasterers alone worked on it the buildings. In any large group of men it is likely that tensions will arise for time to time and this is exactly what happened here.
A 'slater's boy' was climbing a long ladder carrying his slates on his head when he met George Saffell, another worker, wanting to come down. The older man insisted that the boy descend the ladder to make way for him.
This was 'considered unfair conduct' by Saffell's workmates and they applied their own rules to 'punish' him. He was charged 'half a gallon' as a fine. The court reporter did not specify what that meant but it probably referred to his daily or weekly allowance of alcohol in some way or another. They thought he was out of order and they inflicted a small fine to show their collective displeasure.
Saffell was in no mood to accept his punishment however, but this was a mistake on his part.
One evening soon afterwards he was sent for by his 'mates' and taken to the 'shop' where he was seized and his legs tied together. The men then hauled him up on a beam and suspended him 15 feet above the shop floor for 25 minutes. Saffell complained that this had caused him to have a rupture and that he was now in pain and incapacitated.
The magistrate quizzed several fellow workmen who admitted (much to the shock of the justice) that this was 'common practice' for those that broke their rules or refused to pay the fines. When pressed Saffell admitted that he had already been carrying an injury so his vociferous complaints about his inability to work were somewhat diluted. Nevertheless, the magistrate agreed that (despite the 'rules' of the shop floor) he had clearly been 'assaulted' in some respects.
The problem was in formally identifying those responsible from out of a large group of work mates. For the time being the court had two men ( William Steer and Frederick Coffey) in custody and so these two were fully committed for trial.
No case seems to have reached the Old Bailey so I suspect it was heard at Southwark or at the Surrey Assizes, or perhaps dropped for lack of evidence. Whether Saffell ever returned to work – let alone to that workforce – is equally unclear, but had he done so I rather suspect he might have avoided ladders in the future.
[from The Morning Post, Wednesday, October 23, 1867]

The management of foreign relations appears to be the most susceptible of abuse of all the trusts committed to a Government, because they can be concealed or disclosed, or disclosed in such parts and at such times as will best suit particular views; and because the body of the people are less capable of judging, and are more under the influence of prejudices, on that branch of their affairs, than of any other. Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.

I will soon be writing more on 'lean intranets' and 'content value analysis' but now for something completely different…..
I've become intrigued at all of the designed information that surrounds us in the built environment. Information design that informs us, a lot of the time almost subliminally. So I carried out a little experiment. I walk from work every evening to the nearest underground (subway) station. I decided to note everything that I could see that might fit into this category.
Here it is –
– Leaving the building I see granite benches. These have yellow strips at each end to ensure that people don't trip over them at night or if they are partially sighted
– The paving is made up of two shades, light and dark grey. There are two buidings on either side. The main path leading between the buildings is light grey while the dark grey paths cross at right angles. The dark grey paths lead to entrances into the buldings and access to seating areas. I can see all the dark grey paths from a distance so I can make my choice as to which intersection I need well before I get there
– Lighting columns line the main path giving another clue as to which is the primary route
-Restaurants and shops appear on my right as I walk along. Their names and what they do (mostly eateries with a hairdresser and beauty parlour thrown in) are very clear and most have a-frames on the pavement giving further information on special offers and extolling their virtues. Strangely one eatery informs us of the main categories of their food by something that resembles a horizontal navigation bar. At the end of the row of shops there is a Post Office and a Starbucks. Oh the power of the logo! Even though I couldn't read what the signs said I could recognise their distinctive logos from some way off
– There are works going on on part of the path. The work site is surrounded by an opaque barrier that is around seven feet tall. Its clear message is 'keep out' although on the barrier the builder apologises nicely for any inconvenience and also informs us that they were voted 'contractor of the year'. Almost like saying 'keep out' politely
– Ahead of me an asphalt path clearly informs me that this is the way I should walk as to the left is a grassy area
– Many grassy areas outside buildings are for show only and most people would not walk on them unless there was a clear message that this was allowed. In this area picnic tables are strewn across the whole expanse of grass giving permission for people to use the amenity
– I am now walking towards the public pavement. High hedges define the private space from the public space and the pavement has a paving scheme used in most public areas. I now know that I am in a public area
– I need to cross the road and there is a plethora of information here;
Most importantly the kerb separates the safe public space from the dangerous public space i.e. the pedestrian areas from the areas where cars have priority
Double yellow lines inform me that parking is not allowed
Traffic lights show red informing me that I do not yet have priority on the road space in front of me
Lettering on the road informs me to 'Look Right' . This is the direction that the traffic is coming from
Studs in the road form a path across the road guiding where I should walk
The traffic lights turn green informing me I now have priority for a short time. Cars pull up at a white line painted on the road
I cross the road and behind me I can hear a electronic beeping noise informing me that priority will soon revert to the cars
– At the corner of the street there is a street name. This is really interesting. From it I can deduce that I am in London, in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, in the section of the city called W 12 and on a street called Wood Lane. Going even more granular I can clearly see the numbers of the houses from where I stand. From a whole city to the location of a single house in one glance. Thats granularity!
– The houses have small gardens and paved areas defined as private spaces by fences
– Ahead of me news vendors are giving out free papers. They are holding them folded so that the headlines of the lead story are clearly visible
– I cross the road by another pedestrian crossing and see the familiar logo of the London Underground and I am at the entrance of the station.
This walk takes 2-3 minutes! I was amazed at the amount of designed information I had found. It also got me wondering if any of the thinking behind some of these designs have parallels with what we do on the web (for instance the A-frames reminded of teasers giving users that bit more information). Or indeed is there any design patterns from the physical world that might be innovative in a web context .
I'm going to keep my eyes more open in future!

Personal leadership is the procedure of keeping your vision and values anyone decide to and aligning your life to keep and cherish congruent with them. ~ Stephen Covey
So, bed not the culprit your life?
Are you staying for the purpose of blessing and abundance in all things?
Are you making choices which can consistent with blessing and using goodness?
Are you leading them to be consistently?
God said that you are blessed to be an approval. Are you sowing blessing seeds?
Your power and motivation to do so the right things range from values you hold higher-end, your internal operating plan. Every moment you're making minute choices that steer living. My last article focused on ten of the highest quality. I hope they gave you food for thought - and motivation to some areas you will.
I'm guessing that the purchaser, like me, are better at popular than others. They just about all values I hold near, but some days... neatly, you know how it goes.
Benjamin Franklin had the most suitable idea. He established combination values that he wanted develop in his use life. He called them his or her 13 virtues and it's worth no time on Google to enjoyed them. Each week he would focus on different person, attempting to practice understanding that trait, that virtue, a lot easier consistency. He chose 13 as they could focus on both faithfully four weeks per annum.
As I've said currently, talking to yourself helps as well! Train yourself to recognize when you NOT acting in methods that are consistent with maximum values. As soon once you recognize your poor a unique character or reactions, stop. Refocus stomach, words and actions to realign by using a values, your higher personality.
For instance, when I become impatient and uptight because someone is disrupting my schedule, I mentally remind myself that "I am rooted and grounded in love. " Then, in my own engagement ring head, I reaffirm patience and peace personally. Being the loving ownership God intended me that should be has more value than published agenda. I also find that Jesus gave me His peace (therefore, I eat all I need) and patience is an important fruit of the spirit. Love, patience and peace is in me. I just have to let them out!
The fact is, nothing improves unless you work at it. Just like a sport or any other skill, you can improve yourself with more experience. Only you can decide for everyone of character and fineness. Only you can choose Life Values you resource.
So, pick one. What kind of value do you prize, but struggle to be employed in consistently? Work on that this week - and diagnose how it goes. Meantime...
Be a blessing. (Sow a large seed! )
Be grateful. (The more you appreciate issues they have, the more you're ready appreciate! )
Be blessed. (Exceeding abundantly above any girl hope, ask or think - He promised! ).

DFP is a site that deals with ADULT and PORN levels. If you are interested in more mainstream work try the other sites such as Purple Port
Still here? :-) Then this page has advice to help new people get into the business in the right way. OR, in most cases (do think carefully), realise that it's not for them, and avoid what can be a major life mistake. the other articles go into more depth re making money etc.
When you do porn, the porn stays done, stays on the Net etc. So, don't do it unless you are sure it's the right thing for you.
STOP!!!! Do you have a good business brain? Can you promote yourself and build fan relationships?
If NO, then, you could have fun and part time money in this business but you will probably NOT build a good full time multi year income.
What does being an adult/porn model involve doing?
Whatever you like :-) Commonly :-
It's hard to say how much you can make, or how you'll make it, and to an extent it depends on your looks, attitude and what you find you enjoy doing. For example, if you hate solo camming you won't make loads of money on cam and will need to concentrate on shoots and content (and selling it) or working with cam partners. However if you do a mix of camming, porn, and content then once you have built a fan base, you should be a able to make a decent income. But you are unlikely to get rich and if you have a potential "proper" career option, that is likely to be the better long term financial choice.
But there is a LOT of competition - I've known plenty of hot girls who tried to do everything right but, after an initial flurry of shoot bookings, it dried up. They couldn't build a fan base to get camming for or selling content to. Be careful, be organised.
I want to be an adult/porn model, how do I start?
My best advice - Don't.
If you want to be a "proper" actress, singer, WAG, work in schools, the police etc, Don't do adult.
It's not glamour, frocks, riches, red carpets and C lists celebs, but hard work needing an organised attitude, and, for hardcore porn work, a lust for the simple physical enjoyment of fucking, fucking anyone, anywhere, and in the most awkward positions. You MUST BE A GENUINE EXHIBITIONIST, who loves the fact that that people will be able to watch you fucking. For the fetish side, it's also about control over your body, testing yourself and self expression. And as to riches, there are none. Some well organised girls make a decent living from it, but most models do this part time around their day job. It's about fun, lifestyle and sexuality and getting into it for the money would be a mistake.
I'll repeat that - if money is your motivation and you are not turned on by the idea of the work itself then getting into this can really mess you up. Don't. (That £1000 a week that you can make camming, that only goes to the girls who ENJOY it. It's a full time job to make that money and you might be able to fake it for an hour, but not day in day out...)
Hopefully I've put 9 out of 10 you off. But if you still want to do it....
GET SOME DECENT PORTFOLIO PICS - nice, well lit, images of you. Specifically, a smiling head shot, full frontal and side nudes. Any other pics of your self that you like and show your modelling skills. And for GUYS, you need BG action pics if you are claiming to be a stud - pics showing your face and her face, and your cock in her pussy or mouth.
You must be 18+, and, (to prove your age and ID for record keeping purposes) have PASSPORT and DRIVING LICENCE (provisional is fine), or one of those and a BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
Ethics, Morals and Money in Porn
Porn people tend to be libertarian - non judgemental, do what you wanna do.
But that only works if everyone is fully informed. Problems arise when people have different ideas and didn't ask the right questions or communicate them effectively.
Examples :-
How to deal with these issues - set rules? play by ear? etc :-
Most girls play it by ear, and are quite happy to simply reject any unwanted advances.
Some girls will have rules that they email to the photographer during the process of making the arrangements. :-
Some girls rules will vary according to the level of the shoot - a full sex porn girl if booked for art nude might be strictly "No Touching", but if the guy asks for a BJ on set, say "Yes, for my BJ shoot fee, an extra X". These girls quite rightly want to get properly paid for their work. It's all about your personal combination of morals/ethics/and money.
Most producers/photographers will ask you to sign a model release because most of the clients - publications, websites etc - will not pay them unless they provide it.
This will allow them to publish the work in accordance with the release. If you don't like what they do with it, tough.
Be aware that it will generally allow them to do anything they like with the material, including multiples sites, free sites, tube sites, sales to third parties etc.
It is NOT a legal requirement that such a release be signed, but if you don't, they can still pretty much do what they like with the content because you were presenting as a model for hire (as opposed to a GF whose nudes become revenge porn if shared).
Never do "for private only" anything that you would be unhappy to see published. Always assume that they might be published and limit yourself accordingly.
It all comes down to evidence. As a model, if you go to the court 5,10,15 years from now and argue that "this particular shoot was not for publication", you will be expected to provide solid evidence. A document, signed by the photographer, stating that the work is not for publication. Read that again - it's not up to him to prove that he has the rights to publish - that's taken as a given if the pics show a person who clearly know that they are being photographed - it's up to you to prove that he doesn't have such rights. Ask yourself - will you get such a document signed, and are so good at keeping paperwork that you'll still have in 5,10,15 years time?
Also, what happens if they are published? The damage is done. They can't be unpublished. All that a court can grant you is damages, which might be very low, and if large, impossible to collect if the guy has little / no money. Also, going to court will cost you money - hundreds, maybe thousands, and if you're not willing to pay, the guy gets away with it.
Actually, if you signed a release, you probably did. Most releases, however worded, basically say "can be used anywhere, anytime, anyplace, resale to anyone for any use etc".
If you didn't sign a release, then you probably did as well, IF you are presenting as a model for hire - see Private shoots above.
If you really want to nail down where material can go, you need to provide your own release, on a per shoot basis, where the photographer fills in, in detail, where the material will be used, and includes a line like "for any other publication, web site or sale to third party, model's permission must be obtained in writing". Be aware that no commercially minded adult
photographer/producer is ever likely to agree to such terms, (because while they might know the INITIAL outlet, they will want other sales, plus the right to resell unencumbered to third parties with groups of sites), so such a stance will cost you work.
It really is very hard to give detailed numbers, esp at the softer rates. For softer rates some amateur girls in cheaper parts of the UK will do solo nude for £30 an hour at their house, while a high quality full time London glamour / art nude model might charge £80, discounting only for bookings of 4 hours or more. It really depends on your look and ability as a model. Also the ability of the photographer. Photographers who are good, will pay for good models, because good models can deliver the images they want to capture.
If you quote and don't get work, maybe you are asking too much. But if you are getting work, don't let cheapskates force you down. It's down to you and how you feel. Some girls want to charge "full" rates as that's how they perceive their value. Others charge low rates because they like to be busy and a day or two without work gets them worried.
The rates below are what attractive girls aged 18-30 and size 8-12 should find reasonable. Older models, bigger models, (esp if outside London/SE) tend to have to accept the lower end of these numbers, or even a bit below. But not so far below as it's taking the piss, (esp if it's any type of POV). Please report piss taking lowballing guys BUT make sure you have stipulated MINIMUM RATES on your listing, or your initial message to them.
Stipulating Minimum Rates
If you quote per hour rates, say BG £100ph, but wouldn't do a BG scene for £100, then clearly you're thinking in terms of £300 for three hours and 1-2 Bg scenes plus solo. But photographers, or video guys looking for quick POV might say - £100 for the hour? £50 as it's just 30mins BJ? To save yourself aggro, if you have minimums, include them in either your listing or your initial response to an enquiry. For solo work it's best have an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time, and discounts for whole days, e.g. :-
Solo, £40 per hour, minimum booking 2 hours at my home/local. For half day of 4 hours, 140, for a Full Day of 8-10 hours 200.
Hardcore work doesn't really work on hourly rates, but what you do in the shoot. For hardcore work it's best to say something like:-
BG - 3 hours (inc two scenes), £X. Long booking/more scenes, by discussion, but ABSOLUTE MINIMUM - 1 hj/bj, in one hour, local to me, £Y.
Note - If YOU respond to a post offering work, then the guy is allowed to offer you whatever his rate is, even if it's below your minimum. This is because sometimes models short of money will work for less than their stated minimum. But for a guy to contact you out of the blue, they are expected to have read your listing. If their work offered post states the pay, and you then complain, that's not allowed, and you'll be marked as a model who doesn't read properly either!

Difficult to say, but for shoots which are not too painful, and which will not leave marks, and do not involve any sexual contact, £100 - £200 is typical. Shoots where bruising is expected pay £500-£800, but note that you can't do other work until healed.
HOWEVER, whether you are asked to be sub or dom, if you are doing Impact Play (canes, spanks, slaps, paddles, basically ANY type of hitting people) make sure you know how to be safe.
DO NOT SUB to someone who cannot show you that they know what they are doing. You could get hurt.
DO NOT DOM until you have been trained by an experienced person. A DOM can train you on all things, but an experienced SUB can train you on the use of potentially dangerous things like whips, canes and paddles.
In the UK you CANNOT CONSENT to actual bodily harm, so if harmed, you can go to the police, and if you harm someone, even if they asked you to. Even if they PAID you to and signed consent forms, they can also go to the police, (or their wife might call the police when she sees the damage....).
If new, stay in the green zones I'd also add, for women, impact play on the breasts is also risky, don't allow.
Body modification guy jailed, even though he had written consent from his customers
Also - really just as a heads up, esp for anyone starting out as a Dom and possibly thinking about marketing, don't mix Dom with Therapy unless you ARE a Therapist. As a Dom, your clients should KNOW they want to be SUB and UNDERSTAND themselves well enough to know why. If you think they need therapy, and you can't provide that properly, send them to someone who can. https://totallytiffanynaylor.com/2019/03/24/some-therapists-are-dommes-n...

How to spot a genuine photographer/producer
Always tricky until you start a two way conversation, at which point the real guy will make it very clear what levels they want, and what money they are offering, even if dates and locations won't be known until later, (esp if it's a matter of juggling diaries, or he's going to be travelling to you and needs to see when he can schedule it).
In general most girls will want to be sure it's all real if they will need to travel any distance. You can check this by asking for a deposit (you won't normally get one, unless you need to fly), or asking other site members (esp those who have commented or are in "Worked With".
Where girls have doubts they usually agree to a no deposit shoot if the shoot will be local to them, so they're not out of pocket if it goes tits up.
Give marks for guys whose initial contact ticks the following boxes, (and if it doesn't, does so in businesslike discussion/emails/PM's once initial contact has been made) :-
Take away marks for guys who :-
Be VERY WARY of guys, who, once you start discussing a shoot:-
As a model, just don't cancel with less than one weeks notice. Whatever reason you give it won't be believed and word will get round that you are unreliable.
If photographers cancel at less than one weeks notice, IMO they should pay half the agreed fee, plus any out of pocket expenses (tickets already purchased etc, have a receipt), up to a cut of of £150.
The Dark(ish) Side - idiots, cheapskates, Guys With Cameras, Managers, Cons and Scams
See - https://support.twitter.com/articles/31796?lang=en# where it says :-
Note: Changing an account's password does not automatically log the account out of Twitter for iOS or Twitter for Android applications. In order to log the account out of these apps, sign in online and visit Apps in your settings. From there you can revoke access for the application, and the next time the app is launched, a prompt will request that the new password be entered.
This matters because the scammer is logged in already as you using THEIR iOS or Android, so they can stay logged in and be bastards and even lock you out by changing things again.
Motives for this scam seem to be blackmail - "pay us to get your account back" or unrequited love turns bad. Possibly just high end trolling.
MOTTO - NEVER let anyone else have your Twitter logins to post as you. (Note, this is not a risk re sites that you authorised, like AIR. We do not have your login details).
Going to a shoot can be a risky thing - meeting someone you don't know, possibly alone.
Trust your gut instinct
If it's telling you not to take the job, DON'T.
If you've arrived somewhere and you are getting dodgy vibes, leave. Put it down to experience.
Have a Car
If you have driven to the location you can leave whenever you like. If you got collected from a station and are now in some soulless suburb,or, worse still, the countryside, you can't.
Have escape money
If you've got 100 quid in cash you can get home.
All good photographers/producers will allow a chaperone, and while asking them to stay out of the room/studio they will be within earshot.
Professional Studios are obviously much safer than hotels and houses.
If you work from home, think about rigging up a security camera to monitor the room(s) you shoot in.
REPORT bad experiences
To us, and also Ugly Mugs https://twitter.com/NationalUglyMug and perhaps the police.
https://www.clienteye.app/ is getting a lot of positive attention - it's in effect a shared database of idiots you don't want to deal with.
If you feel that a photographer/producer has mislead you, please let me know as if several models flag the same person, I can delete them from this site.
If someone goes beyond the agreed terms - i.e. does things to which you have not consented, they are guilty of the criminal offence of assault (possibly worse). This is something which you can go to the police with. More to the point, you can tell the guy that if he doesn't back off, you will do so.
Porn is a risky activity - it's fucking strangers :-) Be safe!
Safety in Spanking/CP and hard BDSM/Fetish
If this isn't a scene you are personally into, but will consider for shoots, be warned.
I know too many models who have said yes to this type of work, and then been hurt/bruised much more badly than they expected. The work can pay very well, but if you do get bruised, you need to take time off.
My advice is to ask the following questions:-
Your body is biology - understand it can you can look good and be healthy.
Best Diet is simple - good food made from scratch ingredients (no artificial crap to prolong shelf life or enhance mouth feel - yes, that's a thing). Combine this with a decent fitness regime - light weights and lots of cardio is best for staying trim. Cardio can be running, cycling or swimming. If swimming, build up to a mile 3-4 times a week. It will take about 2 months from a "fucked after one length", and soon you'll be doing a mile in 40-45mins.
Drink and Pies and Pizzas. In moderation as a treat, fine. If too much, cut them out. But you know that.
Crash Diets are BAD NEWS. They work in the short term BUT this is telling your body that you live in an area that suffers from famines. So when the food returns, the body sets more aside for the next famine. This is why Dieting Makes You Fat.
It's not about weight, it's about shape. Fat tissue weighs less than muscle, if you convert flab to trim muscle your weight might even go up, but your SHAPE will get trimmer.
To get your best shape you need to combine a good diet with plenty of exercise. Your body needs to learn that there is always plenty of food, but that what it needs is to be fit. Good news - exercise helps control appetite.
There are no shortcuts. Sorry.

Adult arrested for beating juvenile
One of two men wanted by police for beating a juvenile victim they tried to incite to fight is in the Will County lockup.
The Wilmington Police Department said the arrest followed the investigation of an incident that occurred in the evening of Aug. 31 in the 100 block of North Kankakee Street.
According to police reports, Charles L. Neese III, 23, of Morris, and Kaleb L. Findlay, 20, Wilmington, came to the location where several juveniles were standing and challenged them all to a fight.
When nobody took them up on their offer, Findlay reached across the fence and struck the 17-year-old juvenile victim in the face.
According to witnesses the juvenile did not want to fight, even after being punched.
When the victim refused to fight, Findlay told him that he was going to break out his car windows, and then entered the victim's car (without permission) and began rummaging through the contents.
When the victim went to the car and told Findlay to get out, Findlay began beating him, and then pulled a knife from his pocket, threatening to stab the juvenile victim.
Neese then came up behind the juvenile victim and threw him to the ground, at which time Findlay and Neese both jumped on top of him, striking and kicking him numerous times until the others pulled them off.
Findlay and Neese then fled the scene.
The juvenile was taken to the hospital by a family member. He suffered a dislocated shoulder, two black eyes and several lacerations on his face.
After a thorough investigation, Detective Karl Jurgens of the Wilmington Police Department worked with the Will County state's attorney's office, which approved charges for aggravated battery, mob action, and battery against Neese, and aggravated battery, mob action, battery, assault, and criminal trespass to vehicle against Findlay.
The Honorable Judge Domenica Osterberger issued warrants for both subjects, setting their bonds at $100,000 each.
Findlay was arrested at his residence on Sept. 30 and transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility. He was still in custody as of press time. He will have to post $10,000 bail to be released.
Editor's note: Persons named in police activity reports are innocent of any charges until proven guilty in a court of law.

SCOSPOS is a set of routines to enable coordinate transformations to be carried out tied to a SuperCOSMOS measurement. This involves getting the details of the measurement and the original plate exposure from the ASCII version of the SuperCOSMOS housekeeping file, along with the coefficients of the transformation between celestial coordinates and SuperCOSMOS (X,Y).
The routines use two additional libraries
sporthk - SuperCOSMOS libraries for reading the ASCII housekeeping file
slalib - library written by P.T.Wallace (Starlink) for performing astrometric and related functions
An example of using the routines is provided by the program whose source is in scospos.f. This program can be compiled and linked using

Mad scientist mixing her magic formula.
Then it was Leanne's turn for a baking sleepover.
Shaping colors with a toothpick
We made rainbow cake (from a vanilla cake mix)
and topped it with home-made chocolate frosting.
I'd forgotten how gooooood real frosting tastes and how easy it is to make.
We're awaiting permission for Leanne to share this with her class. She's rightfully proud of her work - and Pop and I can't eat all this bakery goodness by ourselves. Sure hope the teacher says yes!

I decided to start a foodie blog after having visited so many other sites, with wonderful recipes & beautiful photos of their creations. Very inspiring and it is a new way of sharing my culinary adventures. Food isn't only a nutritional requirement for me…..it is pure joy. I do love to eat and my priorities are growing toward 'clean', natural & local. Being raised in a farm community, I am very drawn to supporting my local farmers. Plus their food is sooooooooo good. I'm now taking a huge carry-all to the Farmers' Market & delaying any visits to the supermarket until afterward. The local milk, ice cream & cheese is superb as well as the summer's bounty from the soil. So, my daily foray to Wegmans is no longer, although purusing the aisles is still one of my favorite haunts.
Hope you enjoy my ramblings as well as the amateur gourmet adventures. Bon Appetit !!

The growing complexity of the social structure has transformed public-private relations. Regulatory standards and oversight are increasingly more specific and the direct involvement of the State in the economy is increasing. Points of contact between companies, government and organized civil society are more and more frequent. And all parties are expected to be transparent.
Well-planned communication can establish bridges between the private sector and society. This concept guides FSB's work in the communication of private companies with the government. The Pro-Business Communication® department creates and implements specific strategies to establish dialogue between companies and the public sector.

At RSM, we believe that unless the board and management fully understand the level of risk that the organisation is willing and able to take in pursuit of value creation, it will be difficult for the board to effectively fulfil its risk oversight role.
Enterprise risk management (ERM) is not static, but rather a continuous process. Through our extensive experience and the desire to assist our clients in achieving success, RSM can set the grounding for effective ERM within your organisation.
Several formal ERM frameworks are available today (such as COSO ERM and the principles of ISO 31000) which we are very familiar with. However, not all organisations are the same and therefore a 'one-size-fits all' solution to risk management does not exist.
Your organisation may operate:
- in complex financial markets
- with unique products and services
- in diverse technologies
- with complex business processes
- with simple business processes
Our team of ERM professionals work with your organisation to develop and embed an integrated framework customised to your business and risk appetite. This is implemented in five stages:
- risk framework development
- risk assessment and prioritisation
- identification and effectiveness of existing controls
- risk treatment and strategies
- risk validation and monitoring
For companies with existing frameworks in place, we also provide certain ERM services in isolation that include:
- risk assessments and workshops (combined top-down and bottom-up approach)
- evaluation of risk management frameworks assessing against best practice
- development of enterprise risk appetite statements and its communication throughout your organisation
- risk maturity and cultural assessments
- evaluation of risk reporting
- assessment, design and implementation of strategic risk register
- risk management software systems
- ERM training

The £75m questions that Lukaku needs to answer at Man Utd
Such are the weird and wonderful machinations of the transfer market these days, few would have guessed a week ago that Romelu Lukaku would be preparing to don the training gear of Manchester United for the first time in Los Angeles in the coming days.
Monday's confirmation of his £75 million switch from Everton completed quite the volte-face for United, with the chase for Alvaro Morata having been curtailed after Real Madrid showed signs of wanting to take them for a ride once more. They immediately moved for Lukaku and they have now got themselves one of the most fearsome attacking presences in the English game.
But that doesn't mean the 24-year-old is a finished product. He might have the size, the strength and the pace to trouble most Premier League defenders, as proven by his 85 goals in five full seasons in the division, yet there are still some observers wanting to reserve judgement on a player whose hold-up play has regularly been called into question.
The truth is, though, that few players complete any transfer without some sort of question mark attached. Can he do it in the Premier League? Has he got the goals in him? Is he fast enough? Is he strong enough? Is he clever enough? Is he too indisicplined? There will be one or more imponderable debates about every signing that ever happens.
And Lukaku would appear as capable as anyone of standing up to the interrogation. It is true that he is occasionally clumsy in his build-up play and that he can look cumbersome with the ball at his feet, but he often has the requisite pace and power to get him out of difficult situations.
He also has the kind of No.9 instinct that even Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't present during his 28-goal Old Trafford spell. Sure, he will work the channels regularly, but when United need an out-ball he will always be there. Zlatan offered a lot of weapons, yet his unorthodox style of attacking play would often leave United short of a man in the box when they needed one.
Balls flashing through an abandoned penalty area were not an uncommon sight in M16 during 2016-17, but in Lukaku now have a player who makes it his business to get into a position inside the 18-yard area from which he can be effective.
It is clear that he will have to work hard to improve his control with his back to goal so that he doesn't need that extra touch he has previously craved. Space is tighter and harder to come by when you are a Manchester United player, with defences significantly reinforced in anticipation of the kind of barrage nobody expects of the Evertons of this world.
Utd right to ditch Morata for Lukaku
But to doubt his ability to come to terms with the new demands is to underestimate the guile he used to deal with difficult defences and close-marking tactics when banging in goals regularly for Everton. Throw in the fact that United have numerous attacking threats for opponents to deal with in a way the Toffees simply didn't, and Lukaku's threat becomes harder to handle.
For every question that is currently being asked of him there is also an attribute which speaks of Lukaku's compatibility with the big-game surroundings United will offer in abundance.
"He is a great goalscorer but a poor footballer," the late, great Johan Cruyff once said of former United front man Ruud van Nistelrooy, and while Lukaku's game is distinctly different to the Dutch striker's there is an undertone of the same message in some reviews of the Belgian's signing.
If he comes anywhere close to Van Nistelrooy's 150 United goals in 219 appearances, the Stretford End won't care one bit what anyone makes of Lukaku's touch with back to goal.

After I posted that my sender got stuck after a few months on WVO I took it out (Very easy in Musso) and cleaned electric board with soft tooth brush and methanol. It worked fine again. It has only been a few weeks so far.
Don't feel inclined to add anything to my WVO tho. I have an Elsbett single tank system.
Will see how long fuel sensor keeps working.
