Excelsior students - payments and length of program.
Hi all, I am an LPN for 18 years and i've read this site and Excelsior too. I am starting from pretty much nothing, i've taken Psychology 101, Math 101, Literature and an English thru my local college in the past 4 years. I wondered if any of the non-nursing classes can be CLEPed and how long it took you to get thru? Also, how did you pay for your registration and tests? I am going to have a problem going out of pocket. If you are reading this and thinking i'm off base on anything PLEASE just say so. I'm pretty out of my element.
About Apolli1
Joined: Jan '09; Posts: 2Jan 19, '09Before you do anything. I recommend paying $75 and applying to the college. Then have them to evaluate all your trascripts and tell you what you need to take. Then you can come up with a plan to tackle all the things that you need. I paid for my test one at a time. I would work a little overtime and pay for the test. The $895 enrollement fee can be broken up into 5 payments. That is how I paid for it. I tackled the test one at a time. The CPNE can also be broken up into payements. They do not accept financial aid but they do award some scholarships. .You can apply for private loans to pay for the education. Hope this helps.Jan 19, '09Thank you! It helps alot. It looks like the fees for enrollment, tests and CRNP are all separate. That's what confused me. Did you do your general education credits thru Excelsior too? Did you CLEP anything? It looks like it may be less expensive to CLEP? How long did it take you to get through?Jan 19, '09You can do CLEP and DSST. I had my GE credits thru the local CC, as well as my pre-reqs. As for EC, I'm on the payment plan. I just started by it's cheaper then my local CC and more flexible.
http://www.getcollegecredit.com/Jan 19, '09Quote from Apolli1Yes, all the test are separate and you pay as you go. No bundle fees like College Network and other publishing companies that you should stay away from. Plenty of people on here have cleped out of courses. Its fairly inexpensive. Also you can test by exam through EC. They have all the general ed classes by test which cost $235 plus cost of the book.Thank you! It helps alot. It looks like the fees for enrollment, tests and CRNP are all separate. That's what confused me. Did you do your general education credits thru Excelsior too? Did you CLEP anything? It looks like it may be less expensive to CLEP? How long did it take you to get through?Jan 19, '09It took me almost a year to complete the program from top to finish. I was 5 days shy from the 1 year mark. I was very aggressive at taking the test. I took one test about every 3 weeks. I also failed 2 test and had to wait 60 days and repeat them but I like EC because they allow you to continue taking other test while you wait. This program cost me about $8500 out of pocket. It would have been about $1000 less if I had not had to repeat 2 exam and I splurged and bought all the practice test for all 8 exams for $480. IMO they are a must and measure how prepared you are for the test. I also spent $415 on online conferences in preparation of the CPNE and went to a workshop for $500 plus travel expenses to my CPNE site. All that is included in the $8500.So with all that said,You could spend about $6000-6500 with no frills and no help for workshops. Thats about as bare as it gets.
EC is not accepted in every state and some states have restrictions so check and make sure your state is EC friendly. That is one of the downsides to this program but that didn't stop me.

This skirt is amazing! it's great quality and I love it, but it was huge on me! Im a 6 so I got the XS and I had to get it altered, but it was definitely worth it.
Great skirt! Tips!
Posted by Unknown on 25th Mar 2014
definitely size up! and colours are darker than what you see here but it's still a gorgeous skirt.
amazing but...
Posted by Unknown on 17th Mar 2014
I love this skirt but I found that the size runs a little large, not to the extent that it's unwearable but a size down would have been better for me. Im usually a 10 so I got the small but would have preferred an XS
Love this skirt!

Such nice colours! So vibrant. Looks really nice on and is a really good fit. Highly recommend :)

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the Mexican shrimp burgers: Measure out 3/4 cup of the shrimp and set aside. Add the remaining shrimp to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the cilantro and eggs and pulse until the mixture is combined but not completely smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
Roughly chop the reserved shrimp into small pieces, then add it to the mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, chipotle adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic and mix to blend the ingredients. Use a 1/2-cup measure to scoop and shape the shrimp mixture into 4 burgers. They will be sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For the avocado aioli: Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, avocado and some salt and pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Coat the bottom of a large saute pan with the oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once it's very hot, saute the shrimp burgers until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. They should be golden brown.
Add about 1 tablespoon of the avocado aioli to each half of the toasted buns. Add a burger to each, followed by a couple of tomato slices and a piece of lettuce. Close the burgers and enjoy!

I've slipped down to second. I knew my glory just couldn't last. Paul Fennessy is some sort of Fantasy Football deity who knows exactly who to pick, who to make captain, who to sub. It's really unfair, but still, second isn't too bad.
I'm having a moral crisis regarding Fabregas. He's still injured. He's been one of my star players, but I can't really afford to keep him on the bench anymore. It's been almost two weeks. I need all the points I can get if I'm to beat Fenno. If I did get rid of Fabregas, I have no idea who I'd replace him with. Lampard would be too expensive, I dislike Jermaine Defoe, it's all too hard. I have such an affection for Fabregas that it'd pain me to be rid of him. It's like Catriona's deranged love for Toby Flood, who never seems to play, ever (sorry Catriona). I think that I'll sit it out one more week, then consider my options. Much as it pains me to admit it, I can't afford to have a lame duck on my team, even if it is lovely Fabregas.
I've also become complacent about my choice of captain. I've written about this before, but I usually just kept it as Rooney, just for convenience's sake. This week, I've decided to head up Team News with Milner. I know that he's not a looker, but now that Fabregas is gone, Team News has become a crowd of uglies. I've never really found the Premiership that attractive. I used to love Freddie Ljunberg, but now he's gone. In addition, no one's allowed fancy Thierry Henry after Hand-of-Frog-gate. I'm sorry to be so shallow, but I do appreciate some eye candy when selecting my team. Villa are playing twice this week, so I think Milner's a good bet for captain.
Dawson is doing fine. He got me two points for playing ninety minutes. I'm also doing better in Fantasy Six Nations. I'm up from last to fifth. Really backing Catriona on this one. If I win Fantasy Premier League and she wins Fantasy Six Nations, we will have struck a blow for women everywhere and won. Again, winning is awesome. Let's just hope that this week pushes me up to kick Fenno's AC Slater out of top. I was always more of a Zack Morris girl anyway.

Why make a switch?
It shouldn't be news to anyone that Apple is taking flak and people are moving on because they are fed up with Apple. Is becoming more and more obvious that Apple is declining with their products. I've been wanting to jump ship for a couple of years now but knew the dive would take some work to be smooth. Its taken months to sort out everything and I knew that the task would be huge to find alternatives and migrate to another OS seamlessly but its finally done and I'm off of OSX and Apple for good and it feels great.
Apple lost its shine for me becoming more and more unusable and altogether silly as the years push on. Not just from a hardware perspective but the software is a pain in the ass almost everyday. I should have realized much sooner but like most in my profession its hip to be. And much like Microsoft Apple is tending to force its updates/restrictions on its users and thats cool I like updated software. But updates that don't really update the important stuff and always break the things that matter most makes me fed up. A lot of fixes also become workarounds that just aren't worth my time. For me all I need is a browser and a terminal and the tools I need are almost always linux terminal based so it just makes sense for me. Now I've moved over to Arch on all of my systems and I couldn't be happier with the result. I think for anyone considering making a switch to anything just prepare for it strategically it will make you better at what you do and harbor an appreciation and understanding for how you work now and in the future.
Apple does a good job of boxing up and repurposing old hardware to such an extent that it tricks consumers into thinking that they are getting a top notch machine. When in fact the hardware your getting beyond its shiny exterior is subpar. For most of their machines you can buy a comparable one for half the price from another brand. Its obviously not something you can work on or replace parts on which has always irked me. You can spend even more money on some bullhit Applecare plan or throw it in the trash and buy another one.
I worked tirelessly for months moving my everyday tasks to tools that were portable, configurable, and open source. And the day had finally come that everything was setup and I could leave apple its dated overpriced hardware and all of its apps for good and opt for something a little more me. One of the worst things is Apple products don't work with other Apple products. For instance I was excited to use my dual thunderbolt display setup with my brand new MBP a few years back. Lo and behold that it worked like shit for about 10 minutes and the system would overheat and become unusable. Therefore the only option was to cool down that notebook or be stuck using one display. Sure enough if I plug in regular displays of the same quality via hdmi all is well and it works wonderfully. Equally the displays don't work on any other type of hardware besides Apple. I have a thunderbolt compatible motherboard and they only halfway work with that as well. They are also obnoxiously loud with their fans. This obviously will only get worse with the mess that they have created lately.
Need I say much on this? The software for mac is abundant these days and mostly overpriced because its usually shiny/trendy whatever. The shitty part is thatfor the most part that software is usually a blackbox what the user has no control over. Which for an engineer we love tearing code apart and learning how it works I think it creates a community much like what Windows has where software is closed off proprietary and inaccessible to the user.
I'm sure for most peeople the changes Apple makes are acceptable and even fun. But for me every time I receive an update it means things are broken and I have to spend hours getting them to hopefully work again if ever.
Just as an example of what I mean the last update to Sierra broke quite a lot for me.
- Re-install/compile c and xcode
- Driver software for my mouse and keyboard were busted using a kinesis advantage pro and a Kensington trackball mouse. I had to search down the drivers and remove the fragments before it re-installed correctly.
- Brew was borked and didn't work anymore I don't even know why so I had to reinstall it.
- My installation of go was totally screwed which I use go for quite a lot like backups.
- Ruby was also destroyed like always and I had to re-install RVM find all of the packages I need to get shit done and sort out all of the Ruby version discrepancies on gems.
- Kernel panics everywhere when using thunderbolt displays
And that's pretty much a standard update which I'm glad I did on a Friday so I could sort that shit out before the coming work week. Don't get me wrong it was good while it lasted but its like having a high maintenance companion. Much like Microsoft Apple is tending to force its updates on its users. Which normally that's fine if your adding value to their experience. I'm sure for most people the changes Apple makes are acceptable and even fun. But for me every time I receive an update it means things are broken and I have to spend hours getting them to hopefully work again if ever.
Another annoyance was that I couldn't customize things to be efficient on OSX without a bunch of extra software usually paid. I don't want much just a few things here and there to make my life easy. So I would dig in and try to customize a little piece of it but would always hit a limitation/roadblock that just couldn't be worked around easily unless I buy some piece of software to sort of do what I wanted. On Linux though I can do whatever I want and however I want.
And then there's the GUI… How many times finder has locked up on me moving or opening a large file or unzipping something is ridiculous. OSX in general locks up so much I find myself
killall'ing all the theings and restarting the whole process.
Of course there the cost of computing on Apple products which isn't worth it either in the end. The cost over time is jaw dropping. For instance the last MBP I bought cost 3x what it would have for a similar machine in another flavor. Thunderbolt displays aren't much of a different story either. You can pickup a nice 4k display for at least 1/3 if not half of the cost if you shop around. And that will work with other machines too. I can't even start to imagine how many dongles I would have to fork up money for moving forward either.
Obviously there are alternatives to OSX. There is a buffet of Linux distributions out there with a flavor for everyone. Most of the cool things you get on OSX are almost always made somewhere else first usually Linux. I personally moved to arch because I wanted to further my *nix skills and use something that I could own entirely. But if your new to Linux then Mint, Ubuntu, or similar are always good choices.
I could keep bitching about it but I'll draw to a close. I've moved to arch with awesome for the time being and when I want to change its just a configuration file away.
If your making the move then be sure to plan it out, test it first, and make backups of everything.

Welcome to 2014 all of you!
On a recent trip to Brittany, I was introduced to a Doctor through an owner of a 4x4 garage and told he had an old jeep in his barn.
The jeep had spent a while in a leaking side-less barn, and it transpired the vehicle had been bought in 1996, used off road for a while on a farm and then parked up for the next 14 years!
It wasn't registered and still had its original auction papers from a sale in Brittany direct from the military. The owner had at some point tried to address the surface rust issues by using some silver paint! so as you can see it looks as if it has a 5 tone camo pattern - green brown black silver and rust!
The brakes were seized, the fuel tank rotted out, but it came with its original full weather kit and radio trays and rear seat.
I dragged it back to the uk where we set about removing the sump, cleaning out the inches of thick old oil. A regrease and freeing off the brakes was straight forward, so after a clean out of the fuel lines (including inches of muck in the fuel strainer) it was good to go. It started first time and ran very sweetly. The charge rate was excellent and everything worked on it as they should.
The jeep had been made in the 60's but was rebuilt in the 70's and actually had a very low mileage - so mechanically it was sound, it was just the years of being exposed to the elements in the damp barn had taken its toll on the body work and windscreen.
To find a jeep that hasn't really been used since it was auctioned off in the 90's is quite rare, so I have decided to give it a full rebuild back to its 1960's specification over the coming months. Keep an eye out for developments on these pages.

Facts About Tokyo
Tokyo Metropolis is located in the southern Kanto region, positioned in approximately the center of the Japanese archipelago. It is bordered to the east by the Edogawa River and Chiba Prefecture, to the west by mountains and Yamanashi Prefecture, to the south by the Tamagawa River and Kanagawa Prefecture, and to the north by Saitama Prefecture.
The Tokyo Megalopolis Region, or Greater Tokyo Area, is made up of Tokyo and the three neighboring prefectures of Saitama, Kanagawa, and Chiba. This area is home to around 28% of Japan's total population. The National Capital Region is made up of Tokyo and the seven surrounding prefectures of Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, and Yamanashi.
Tokyo Metropolis is a metropolitan prefecture comprising administrative entities of special wards and municipalities. The "central" area is divided into 23 special wards (ku in Japanese), and the Tama area is made up of 26 cities (shi), 3 towns (machi), and 1 village (mura). The 23 special-ward area and the Tama area together form a long, narrow stretch of land, running about 90 kilometers east to west and 25 kilometers north to south. The Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands, two island groups in the Pacific Ocean, are also administratively part of Tokyo, despite being geographically separated from the metropolis. The islands have between them two towns and seven villages. In addition, islands comprising the most southern and most eastern lands of Japan also fall under the administrative district of Ogasawara-mura; these are, respectively, the Okinotorishima Islands, which have an exclusive economic zone of about 400,000 square kilometers, and Minamitorishima Island.
The overall population of Tokyo is about 13.19 million (as of October 1, 2011), and the area is about 2,188 square kilometers.
Tokyo has four distinct seasons. Summers are hot, while winters will be chilly.
History of Tokyo
The history of the city of Tokyo stretches back some 400 years. Originally named Edo, the city started to flourish after Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate here in 1603. As the center of politics and culture in Japan, Edo grew into a huge city with a population of over a million by the mid-eighteenth century. Throughout this time, the Emperor resided in Kyoto, which was the formal capital of the nation. The Edo Period lasted for nearly 260 years until the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when the Tokugawa Shogunate ended and imperial rule was restored. The Emperor moved to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo. Thus, Tokyo became the capital of Japan.
During the Meiji era (1868 – 1912), Japan began its avid assimilation of Western civilization. Buildings made of stone and bricks were built on the sites of the mansions of feudal lords, and the major roads were paved with round stones. In 1869 Japan's first telecommunications line was opened between Tokyo and Yokohama, and the first steam locomotive started running in 1872 from Shimbashi to Yokohama. Western hairstyles replaced the traditional topknot worn by men, and bowler hats, high collars, and bustled skirts were the height of fashion. In 1882 Japan's first zoological gardens were opened in Ueno. In 1885 the cabinet system of government was adopted and Ito Hirobumi became Japan's first prime minister. With the promulgation of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan in 1889 Japan established the political system of a modern state.
During the Taisho era (1912 – 1926), the number of people working in cities increased, and a growing proportion of citizens began to lead consumer lifestyles. Educational standards improved, and the number of girls going on to study at higher schools increased. Performing arts such as theater and opera thrived.
In September 1923 Tokyo was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake. The fires caused by the earthquake burned the city center to the ground. Over 140,000 people were reported dead or missing, and 300,000 houses were destroyed. After the earthquake a city reconstruction plan was formulated, but because the projected costs exceeded the national budget only a small part of it was realized.
Beginning shortly after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Showa era (1926 – 1989) started in a mood of gloom. Even so, Japan's first subway line was opened between Asakusa and Ueno in 1927, and in 1928 the 16th general elections for the House of Representatives of the Diet (or Parliament) were held for the first time after the enactment of universal male suffrage. In 1931 Tokyo Airport was completed at Haneda, and in 1941 the Port of Tokyo was opened. By 1935 the resident population of Tokyo had grown to 6.36 million, comparable to the populations of New York and London.
However, the Pacific War, which broke out in 1941, had a great impact on Tokyo. The dual administrative system of Tokyo-fu (prefecture) and Tokyo-shi (city) was abolished for war-time efficiency, and the prefecture and city were merged to form the Metropolis of Tokyo in 1943. The metropolitan administrative system was thus established and a governor was appointed. In the final phase of the war, Tokyo was bombed 102 times. The heaviest air raid was on March 10, 1945, in which there was great loss of life and material damage. The war came to an end on September 2, 1945, when the Japanese government and military representatives signed the Instrument of Surrender. Much of Tokyo had been laid waste by the bombings and by October 1945 the population had fallen to 3.49 million, half its level in 1940.
In May 1947 the new Constitution of Japan and the Local Autonomy Law took effect, and Seiichiro Yasui was elected the first Governor of Tokyo by popular vote under the new system. In August of that year, the present 23 special ward system began in Tokyo Metropolis.
The 1950s were a time of gradual recovery for the nation. Television broadcasting began in 1953, and Japan joined the United Nations in 1956. Economic recovery was aided in particular by the special procurement boom arising from the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. This led to Japan's entry into a period of rapid economic growth in the 1960s. Due to technological innovations and the introduction of new industries and technologies, this period saw the beginning of mass production of synthetic fibers and household electric appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines. As a result, the everyday lives of the residents of Tokyo underwent considerable transformation. In 1962 the population of Tokyo broke the 10 million mark. In 1964 the Olympic Games were held in Tokyo, the Shinkansen ("Bullet Train") line began operations, and the Metropolitan Expressway was opened, forming the foundation for Tokyo's current prosperity.
Entering the 1970s, the strain of rapid economic growth became apparent as the country was beset by environmental issues such as pollution of the air and rivers, as well as high levels of noise. The Oil Crisis of 1973 brought the many years of rapid economic growth to a halt.
In the 1980s, Tokyo took large steps in economic growth as a result of its increasingly global economic activity and the emergence of the information society. Tokyo became one of the world's most active major cities, boasting attractions such as cutting-edge technology, information, culture, and fashion, as well as a high level of public safety. From 1986 onwards, land and stock prices spiraled upwards, a phenomenon known as the "bubble economy."
Japan enjoyed tremendous growth under the bubble economy, but with the burst of the bubble at the beginning of the 1990s, sinking tax revenues caused by the protracted economic slump led to a critical state in metropolitan finances. Tokyo was, however, able to overcome this financial crisis through two successive fiscal reconstruction programs.
Tokyo is now accelerating efforts to achieve the goals of the 10-Year Plan, Tokyo's urban strategy formulated in 2006. Along with such endeavors, a new vision for the city, Tokyo Vision 2020 was formulated to deal with new challenges such as those that came to light with the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011. While using this as a new blueprint to drive change for the revitalization of Japan, Tokyo will continue to evolve into a city that befits the 21st century.

New AIDS cases in Chicago keep doubling every 12 months, while in San Francisco and New York the increase has slowed to half that rate, doubling every 20 to 24 months. Health officials say the difference is because the AIDS virus was introduced later in Chicago and has not yet reached maximum levels among the city`s homosexual and bisexual men, the prime risk groups for the disease.
Consequently, Chicago may be between 10 months to several years away from reaching a plateau in the number of new cases reported each month, say city and state health officials.

|Search treatments and conditions
Doctors have long warned about the health hazards of high cholesterol but a growing body of evidence indicates that very low cholesterol can be dangerous too. Low cholesterol levels have been associated with depression, anxiety, violent behavior, suicide and hemorrhagic stroke.
Fat absorption requires the presence of bile as an emulsifier. Both a very low fat diet and poor bile flow can work to keep cholesterol levels lower than they should be. Thinning the bile can help raise low cholesterol levels.

Anxiety: Apprehension of danger, or dread, accompanied by nervous restlessness, tension, increased heart rate, and shortness of breath unrelated to a clearly identifiable stimulus.
Bile: A bitter, yellow-green secretion of the liver. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and is released when fat enters the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) in order to aid digestion.
Cholesterol: A waxy, fat-like substance manufactured in the liver and found in all tissues, it facilitates the transport and absorption of fatty acids. In foods, only animal products contain cholesterol. An excess of cholesterol in the bloodstream can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.
Hormones: Chemical substances secreted by a variety of body organs that are carried by the bloodstream and usually influence cells some distance from the source of production. Hormones signal certain enzymes to perform their functions and, in this way, regulate such body functions as blood sugar levels, insulin levels, the menstrual cycle, and growth. These can be prescription, over-the-counter, synthetic or natural agents. Examples include adrenal hormones such as corticosteroids and aldosterone; glucagon, growth hormone, insulin, testosterone, estrogens, progestins, progesterone, DHEA, melatonin, and thyroid hormones such as thyroxine and calcitonin.
Low-Density Lipoprotein: (LDL): Also known as "bad" cholesterol, LDLs are large, dense, protein-fat particles composed of a moderate proportion of protein and a high proportion of cholesterol. Higher levels of LDLs are associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
Milligram: (mg): 1/1,000 of a gram by weight.
Nervous System: A system in the body that is comprised of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia and parts of the receptor organs that receive and interpret stimuli and transmit impulses to effector organs.
Parkinson's Disease: A chronic, slowly-progressing disease of the nervous system characterized clinically by the combination of tremor, rigidity, extreme slowness of movement, and stooped posture. It is characterized pathologically by loss of dopamine in the substantia nigra.
Serotonin: A phenolic amine neurotransmitter (C10H12N2O) that is a powerful vasoconstrictor and is found especially in the brain, blood serum and gastric membranes of mammals. Considered essential for relaxation, sleep, and concentration.
Stroke: A sudden loss of brain function caused by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel that supplies the brain, characterized by loss of muscular control, complete or partial loss of sensation or consciousness, dizziness, slurred speech, or other symptoms that vary with the extent and severity of the damage to the brain. The most common manifestation is some degree of paralysis, but small strokes may occur without symptoms. Usually caused by arteriosclerosis, it often results in brain damage.
Subclinical: Not manifesting characteristic clinical symptoms. Pertaining to a disease or condition.

There is no shortage of reasons to dislike Taylor Swift. It could be her public score-settling with ex-boyfriends, her inability to take even the gentlest joshing from Amy Poehler, or even that irritatingly smug pout she's been wearing on the red carpet throughout awards season.
But when it comes to performing live, the haters have got nothing on her, and that blossoming confidence was on show in all its multifaceted glory last night at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The show that Swift has put together to promote the "Red" album is so much more than a mere pop concert. Through her various costume changes, choreographed set pieces and even the odd magic trick, the native Pennsylvanian has created something closer to a giant musical carnival.
Almost as impressive as her Barnum & Bailey world is Swift's power and surprising versatility as a musician. It was apparent from the start as she and her band assuredly delivered "State of Grace" in a way that had more in common with radio-friendly alternative rock. For a moment, you could close your eyes and quite easily think you were at a Killers show.
That flexibility was almost constantly in evidence, whether it was through the girl-group reworking of "You Belong With Me" or even the dubstep touches applied to "Trouble." No matter what she did or where she went, Swift's often-criticized vocals never seemed to waver. The fragile acoustic county starlet of years gone by seems to have been all but buried and you get the feeling that if Kanye tried to invade her stage now, Swift would not only put a boot in his behind, but write a megahit about it and the send him the platinum disc, signed "Screw You. Kisses, Taylor."
However, there were moments when the tightly rehearsed show suffered under the weight of Swift's anvil-like earnestness. "Hi, I'm Taylor and I write songs about my feelings," was her introduction to the packed house, and while it's the fuel for some of her best songs, it also sparks some of her most cringe-worthy "banter." Hearing her talk about the catty girls at school as a precursor to "Mean" felt more about following the script than baring the soul, while the babble about rejuvenation and new beginnings that went before — you guessed it — "Begin Again" was barely coherent.
So, although her motivational speaking is suspect, Swift's dominance as a pop performer certainly is not, and that was emphasized again as she closed out the show with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
The sound of 18,000 fans joyously singing along only underlined that Swift has written one of those rare choruses that will see an artist through any kind of career-apocalypse.
Not that she needs to worry about such things right now. On last night's evidence, Taylor Swift seems virtually blast-proof.

Bradley Cooper, Samuel L. Jackson, Heidi Klum, Jeremy Piven, Leona Lewis and Cheryl Cole were among the stars who came together on Friday night (19Oct12) for the U.K.'s first Stand Up To Cancer telethon.
Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow, David Beckham, Kylie Minogue and Will Smith also sent recorded video messages for the somber televised event to lend their support to the campaign, which was launched in 2008 by late Spider-Man franchise producer Laura Ziskin.
A clip by soccer ace David Beckham kicked off the telethon, with the star stating, "Tonight you'll help change thousands of lives... it's down to all of us to make a difference", while Aniston added: "This is Stand Up To Cancer and wherever you are in the U.K. this evening, we need your help, because this is the end of cancer."
Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole was the first performer, singing hit track Call My Name - although technical difficulties with her microphone meant viewers couldn't hear the first half of the tune - while Lewis also took to the stage later on in the evening.
In a pre-recorded heart-wrenching video, cancer survivor Kylie Minogue highlighted the seriousness of the disease: "My grandmother, my father, and me. With one in three of us developing cancer in our lifetime, the odds are that each and every one of us will be touched by cancer in some way - but we're at a turning point and, with your help, we can change the odds. Your money will help guarantee vital research needed to help millions more survive cancer, and bring forward the day when all cancers are cured."
Samuel L. Jackson was in the studio to appeal for viewers' donations, and he declared, "Tonight I am here for one simple reason - to kick cancer's a**! But me standing here on a stage won't bring the treatments we so desperately need - I need you to donate whatever you can to join the fight against cancer."
There was light relief during the night when actors Max Beesley, Stephen Graham, Tom Felton and Warwick Davis took part in an all-star version of hit British quiz show The Million Pound Drop, winning $320,000 for the charity appeal.
Boy band JLS also garnered laughs starring in a clip in which they fooled their singer pal Olly Murs into thinking he had killed group member Aston Merrygold during a cannon stunt gone wrong.
Entourage star Jeremy Piven appeared on the show later in the evening and opened up about his father's cancer battle, saying, "My father passed away from cancer 10 years ago and so it's been incredibly close to my heart. It's an honor to be here and to be part of this."
At the end of the fundraiser, hosted by presenters Davina McCall and Alan Carr, along with Dr. Christian Jessen, the total raised stood at $10.2 million.

The purpose of this project was to develop a comprehensive analytical method for the characterization of soil by examining particle size, elemental composition, and percent organic matter in soil, and to determine its forensic applicability. In this study, five soils of varying geological locations were examined including two samples from Kentucky; two samples from Pennsylvania; and one from Washington D C A Gilson sonic sieve shaker was used to separate fractions of soil to determine particle size, and a JEOL scanning electron microscope with a Kevex EDS detector was used to determine elemental composition. These techniques coupled with percent total carbon analysis (determined with a LECO CHN-1000) provide a method that measures three forensic properties instead of one for the forensic comparison of soil.

Delhi accommodation - The Imperial
The Imperial
One of the most iconic hotels in Asia, The Imperial was built in the 1930's as part of Lutyens' New Delhi. Immaculately maintained it showcases Delhi's imperial past and oozes the elegance of the colonial era. Along jasmine scented corridors of calm you will find wonderful antiques and pieces of art including an impressive collection of paintings dating back to the 17th century.
233 beautifully furnished rooms and suites have excellent amenities though some only have a view of the atrium. The swimming pool and spa are perfect for unwinding in between sightseeing or recovering from jet-lag after a long flight. High tea on the lawn or the colonnaded veranda is considered by some to be among the essential experiences of Delhi but make sure you leave room for dinner in the award winning Spice Route restaurant.

Using a cellphone or iPad for banking is very convenient. While on the go you can check your balance, transfer money, and even pay bills. But as with any high-tech device, criminals have figured out ways to hack into private accounts.
Like a growing number of people, Katy Rosati does almost all her banking on her smartphone.
"I don't need to find an ATM or a computer to know what's going on in my bank account," says Rosati.
Consumer Reports Money Adviser says banking on a cellphone is like having an ATM in your pocket.
"Text banking can be done with the simplest of phones," says Money Adviser writer Greg Daugherty. "You send messages to get your account balances, and you get text messages when your balance is low or when your withdrawals or deposits are posted."
If you have a smartphone or a tablet computer, you can transfer money and pay bills, too.
"There are also banking applications designed specifically for your bank and model of phone. Chase, for example, will let you take a picture of your check with your camera phone and deposit it," says Daugherty.
But you do need to make sure your banking on-the-go is secure.
"Never do mobile banking on a public Wi-Fi network," says Daugherty. "And when you're on your bank's website, always look for the little lock symbol in the browser to know that you're on a secure site."
It's also a good idea to install security software. That way you can safely join 39 million other Americans who already do mobile banking.
"I know exactly what's in my account, when things have cleared, you know, when money is coming out. I feel very on top of my finances," says Rosati.
Along with the convenience, Consumer Reports Money Adviser says there's another plus with banking on your cellphone: Banks typically don't charge extra fees for this service.

2019 Land Rover Defender Concept Reveal News
Car manufacturer Land Rover has confirmed a redesign of its flagship crossover SUV. This is the 2019 Land Rover Defender. The company has announced the overhaul of this model for years, and now it will arrive as model year 2019. It should be sold globally, in all markets this time. The first novelty we can expect is the new platform. According to recent rumors, the new 2019 Land Rover Defender will ride in the Range Rover monohull architecture. This should affect your weight and improve fuel economy too. What we can also expect is that the new 2019 Land Rover Defender will be powered by the units of the Ingenium line used by Jaguar Land Rover. In addition, automakers Land Rover and Jaguar have confirmed their intention to expand their alignment with more electrified and hybrid vehicles. Therefore, it is very likely that you will also receive a strong hybrid supplement under your hood. Visually, the Land Rover will keep it recognizable, but of course, it will be updated a bit. In addition, it will also be offered with different body styles.
Most rumors seem to think that the future 2019 Land Rover Defender will look a lot like the DC 100 concept. At this point, this seems pretty true, even though the manufacturer has decided to remain silent about their future vehicle. We can expect a more rugged and square design than the Range Rover. Plus, the car could have flared wheel arches, larger off-road tires and more impact plastic to better protect your body.
One of the biggest problems with the previous model was it's really basic interior. Given the price of the next version, we can assume that this will not be the case. Instead, the future 2019 Land Rover Defender should be quite similar to other Range Rover vehicles. We can expect high quality materials, a truly luxurious cabin and at least 5 seats in the shortest model. The longest version of the car could receive up to 8 seats to better compete with its main rivals. Some have suggested that Land Rover could take the Velar as inspiration. If so, we can expect some touch-based controls that would not be ideal in an off-road application.
The new 2019 Land Rover Defender will feature several types of engines. It is likely that these are the same powertrains of the Ingenium range, which include gasoline and diesel engines. Therefore, the only option should be a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, which can generate about 247 horsepower and 267 pounds of torque. The next will be a 4 liter 2.0 liter diesel unit. This will have a power of about 180 horsepower and 318 pounds of torque. In addition, the next six-cylinder could easily be found in the new 2019 Land Rover Defender. On the other hand, the new Defender must also be powered by a hybrid engine. It will be a combination of a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and an 85 kWh electric motor. All together, they will be able to produce 398 horses and 472 pounds of torque. There will also be a 13.1 kWh lithium-ion battery that will provide an all-electric battery life of about 31 miles.
At this point, it looks like they will reveal the 2019 Land Rover Defender by the end of 2018. The current production model, on the other hand, is expected to reach dealerships in 2019 or early 2020. Its predecessor had a price of about $ 40,000 and north of $ 70,000.

Vera Holden. Furniture. March 19th , 2018.
Finding suitable replacement materials for inlay and boulle antiques is an even greater problem. They tend to use more complex and varied materials. Antique and second-hand shops often have boxes containing suitable oddments and it is worth searching through them to find matching pieces. As a last resort, missing pieces of inlay can be built up with synthetic resins or wax, coloured to match. If boulle has lifted seriously or is bent, leave the repair to an expert restorer; but if the lifting is only slight, carefully remove the section and scrape clean all the dirt. Stick with an epoxy resin adhesive and weight it down until the glue has dried.
Your budget: This is a very important factor. If you choose to just rush into buying furniture that you cannot afford, you will end up with a heavy debt on your back and the furniture pieces will end up being a source of pain instead of a source of joy. It is very important that you be honest with yourself on the amount of money that you can comfortably spend on furniture without getting yourself into debt. This does not mean that you should forego your dream; fir instance if you are looking to buy the ion design furniture, do not switch to a different design, simply take the time to shop around until you find a store that will sell you the furniture at an affordable price. Quality is another point to consider. Just because furniture is priced right doesn't mean it will stand the test of time. Many of the furniture Stores sell furniture at terrific prices, but the quality is not all it should be and once in your home, if you have an active family, you may find the furniture quickly falls apart.
Diane has enjoyed decorating since she was a child. While she leans more toward a french country style, she finds beauty and interest in all decorating styles of today. She recently developed a liking for the industrial style and the industrial items she has recently discovered. She believes it is important to embrace new ideas and new creations and tries to keep an open mind when it comes to styles and trends. Her website is a place to find industrial furniture and accessories for your home or business and was created to keep her busy doing something she loves since she has recently retired. You can join her in her new found love of the industrial/urban style by browsing and perhaps choosing a new piece for your home today.
Wood veneers can be difficult to match. It is possible to buy new veneer strips, but they are generally thinner than the old hand-sawn veneers and do not always match in colour. It often pays to go to an auction to look for a broken oddment of furniture that has suitable veneers. To remove a veneer from its backing, first clean off any old polish with white spirit and carefully clean the varnish or wax. Place a damp cloth over the cleaned strip and press with a fairly hot iron. Keep the cloth damp. This melts the Scotch glue holding down the veneer, which can then be peeled off. The same technique is used to raise small areas on the antique piece, but use a soldering iron instead of an iron. Wipe all traces of glue while it is still warm. Dampen the veneer and flatten it between two pieces of wood for about 24 hours before use. Do not let it dry completely, for veneers must be re-laid while still damp and pliable. The replacement veneer should be slightly thicker than the existing one, to allow for sanding. Stick the new strip down with Scotch glue and apply a weight or clamp until the glue has completely set. Wax and polish to match the existing finish.
Uniqueness. Being mass produced store bought furniture will hardly have any difference from one piece to another as it will not be a one of a kind. Owning a customised furniture you will be the only person who has it and will reflect your particular taste on it.

Man Killed, Child Injured In ATV Crash
CONNELLSVILLE, Pa. (AP) – Police say a man was killed and a child was injured in the crash of an all-terrain vehicle in a wooded area in western Pennsylvania.
State police in Fayette County told The (Uniontown) Herald-Standard that the accident happened behind at about 2 p.m. Saturday in Connellsville Township.
The county coroner's office says 20-year-old Joseph Lee Foster of Connellsville was pronounced dead at Highlands Hospital shortly afterward.
Officials said an 11-yearold child was taken from the scene by crews using another ATV and then flown to UPMC Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Trooper Alec Hamilton said the child was held for observation but declined to disclose additional details.
Police said they had difficulty reaching the crash site behind the Connellsville Sewage Plant.

This past Wednesday I visited Temple Kol Tikvah in Woodland Hills, to scout a location for an early April wedding. The inside of the temple radiates a calm warmth and coziness with lots of gorgeous wood paneling, and the adjoining hall is large enough to easily accomodate two hundred people or so. It's staffed by some super pleasant, helpful, and friendly folks as most wedding locations seem to be.
I will be doing family pictures with the bride and groom before the ceremony at Warner Center Park nearby so I checked out that location as well. It's a nice green park with some beautiful old trees, a playground, park benches, and a bunch of little dogs running around barking up trees at squirrels, who are jabbering back at them from just out of reach. Its got a neat little bandshell type structure at one end with some pleasing lines and a nice view.
Check out the pictures I took during this scouting trip.

Now, we love Chloe's handbags, we really do, but somehow the Saskia line just hasn't managed to quite set our hearts on fire, and by that we mean, "We genuinely can't make our minds up whether we absolutely hate it, or find it vaguely cute." We think it might be the coral. Yes, we know coral is, like, SO this season, but we find ourselves reminded of 80s bridesmaids and granny shoes when we see it, and that's a hard mental image to budge.

NJ Alliance is an advocate for public and private policies that support and protect children, youth and families, working with member agencies and other human service organizations throughout New Jersey. The Alliance represents 40 private organizations that serve at-risk children and adolescents throughout New Jersey, providing advocacy, education, and a common voice on behalf of families and individuals.
According to Executive Director Sidney Blanchard, "Darryl is an outstanding example of the compassion and sensitivity needed to help vulnerable youth find solutions to their problems. He has the charisma to reach out to these youth in magical ways that leave a powerful imprint on their minds and in their hearts."
The Alliance conference was a chance for social workers to attend workshops, build relationships among peers, and learn better ways to support the kids in their care.
Deshawn Freeman, a member of the Community Access Unlimited Transitional Opportunities Program, was honored as Youth Advocate of the Year. Freeman has worked hard to learn how to live independently and is an active member in CAU's advocacy groups, serving as treasurer.
The Alliance also presented scholarships to 22 residents of its 40 agencies, giving deserving seniors and those already in college a chance to build a brighter future. Nakeem Randolph, another member of the Community Access Unlimited Transitional Opportunities Program, was among the scholarship winners at the conference.

6 Genius Weed Stash Spots
We've compiled a list of the 6 most genius spots to stash your weed, those spots that are the most creative that no one will find their way into.
Well, some of us stoners like to be a little less conspicuous with our smoking habits, and so we are more inclined to find stash spots for our weed. Even though some stoner's are a little more open, having their bags of weed living on their bedside tables or coffee tables, this article is to entertain those of us that are a little bit more shy.
But I bet hiding your weed in your shoe or in the glovebox of your car is getting a little old. The trick with finding a stash spot, whether it's to save yourself parental embarrassment or whether it's to keep it away from your weed hungry roommate, is getting really creative. So we have compiled a list of the most genius spots to stash your weed, those spots that are the most creative that no one will find their way into.
1. Stashing your weed where batteries would usually go
So, one of the most genius places to stash your weed is in the battery compartments of some of your electronic devices. It's probably not recommended that you stash it in the battery compartment of the remote control because it will probably get found really quickly by a stoner looking to change the channel. Other options are your stereo or speaker device, your flashlight or perhaps some of your handyman devices that use batteries. Just take the batteries out, of course, wrap your weed in a little glad wrap and store it in there.
This is also a good place to hide cones and other smoking paraphernalia that is small that you don't want to be found.
2. In your PC or speakers
So, if you still have one of those ancient desktop computers, this is a great place to stash your weed. With just a screwdriver, you can take off the rear panel of the tower and there is usually quite a lot of room in there for you to put a bag of weed. Beware that if you use the computer a lot, it can get quite hot in there. This also works for speakers that have this rear panel that can be removed. The vibrations of the music will also find their way into your weed, and could work for some musical inspiration!
3. In the sock drawer
Okay, this one doesn't seem like the most creative, but there is something clever in hiding your weed in the last place that anyone would ever look. Rolling your weed up in a zip-lock bag to make sure the smell doesn't escape, putting it in one of your socks and rolling it up and putting it in the sock drawer with all the other socks is a clever way to hide your weed. It's likely no one will suspect to even look in the sock drawer, and it will be hard to find if it's rolling around with all the other pairs of socks!
4. Plush toys
If you like to decorate your house with plush toys (this might be one for the girls), they are a good place to hide your weed. You probably don't want to cut a hole in your favorite plush toy, so it might be best to go out and buy a cheap teddy bear. It doesn't have to be big. Then just cut a slit in its belly or in its back and stash your weed right inside. You can set it up on a shelf or on the bed, and it's probably unlikely anybody will go reaching into the belly of your sweet little teddy bear looking for a bag of weed.
5. Cutting out a book
You can actually buy stash containers now that look like a book from the outside that you can just slide onto your bookshelf. If you're feeling a little more creative, a Stanley knife and a book that you no longer care about will do the trick. Just cut a hole in the pages deep enough to stash your weed and your piece or whatever else you're looking to hide. But make sure it's somewhat of a boring book so that no one will be tempted to pull it off the shelf and have a browse.
6. Tape it to the bottom of the desk
This is for those who want to keep it simple. Remember that you should always be trying to hide the smell of your weed if it's going to be somewhere as open as this. You could probably even tape it to the bottom of the dinner table and no one would find out. It's important that you know your house when using any of these tricks. If the computer desk is hardly ever used, then it could be the best hiding place to tape it to the bottom. Just don't get caught trying to retrieve it!
Have you any other sweet stash spots? Let us know in the comments or on social media below.

I'm not sure whether this profoundly English novel will resonate fully in America. The difficulty is not so much with Alan Hollinghurst's story, that of a poet (like Rupert Brooke, perhaps) who is what we would now call bisexual or gay and dies in World War I, and of the posthumous ripples of his life and reputation. The first part of The Stranger's Child, with its upstairs-downstairs portrait of a large house on the outer edge of the suburbs and the middle class, can be enjoyed as an elegant, gently parodic re-creation of a world much revisited on page and screen, from Brideshead to Downton Abbey; later sections might be read as a literary detective story written in reverse or an affectionate satire on the changing forms of gay identity. What may seem more obscure to the American ear is the dry humor and semantic freight of Hollinghurst's exactly calibrated style, with its layered, ambivalent ironies; its careful self-deflations; its shy, tongue-in-cheek allusions; and its faith in reticence. These qualities are neither decorative nor incidental: over the course of the book they acquire an almost moral virtue.
Hollinghurst's groundbreaking first novel, The Swimming-Pool Library (1988), interleaves the priapic adventures of its narrator, Will Beckwith, an ex–public school boy footloose in 1980s London, with the diaries of a much older man named Charles Nantwich, a former colonial official who wants Will to write his biography. Set in the last months before the outbreak of AIDS (the halcyon days before a different war), the book takes place entirely in a world of men, at the swimming pool and the opera, in the army and the school changing rooms. Through the stories of Will and Charles (and with reference to Ronald Firbank and E.M. Forster, porn flicks and art photography) Hollinghurst excavates the vein of homoeroticism buried in English culture, showing it to be both essential and constitutive. By the end of the book you're convinced not only that Englishness has a gay subtext but that the subtext is gay—that the very presence of a subtext is, in a sense, gay. How was the empire built but through the tight bonds between men, formed at boarding school and sealed in secret tenderness, protected by codes and rituals, reinforcing the lines of class and race while crossing them for sex? The point had been made before, but often partially and snidely. Hollinghurst writes from the inside, sparing his characters nothing while recognizing, in the tragic story of Charles's imprisonment for cottaging and the loss of the African houseboy who was his heart's desire, the depths of love and suffering hidden in their history.
Hollinghurst has published three novels since The Swimming-Pool Library, including The Line of Beauty (2004), his Booker Prize–winning satire of the Thatcher years, all densely allusive, all incisively observed: along with Forster, Henry James is a presiding spirit. But The Stranger's Child returns, more directly but also equivocally, to the preoccupations of that first book. Where the early novel exhumed a homoerotic English past, the new one proceeds in reverse, tracing the vanishing of a less defined, more polymorphous version of same-sex love, first through suppression and then, paradoxically, through acceptance and openness.
Despite its many comic touches, the book has a distinctly elegiac mood. Its central character, the poet Cecil Valance, is dead before the second act; others grow old before our eyes as the novel foreshortens time, dipping in and out of their lives from 1913 to 2008. The final section opens at a memorial service where the mourners are addressed by a queer theorist, whom we last met as an embarrassed schoolboy. The epigraph to that section—"No one remembers you at all"—is from "In Memoriam Alfred Lord Tennyson," a poem by the Scottish writer Mick Imlah, who also died too young and to whom the book is dedicated; part of Tennyson's own "In Memoriam" features in the novel and lends Hollinghurst his title. The memorials open into one another like rooms in a country house; like the book's various assessments and accounts of Cecil Valance's work, none are final or definitive.

The AppFog service was retired on June 29, 2018. The AppFog Platform-as-a-Service is no longer available, including all source code, env vars, and database information. More information is available here.
AppFog is CenturyLink's scalable, robust, high performing multi-tenant Platform-as-a-Service (Paas) platform. This product has been updated with several powerful new features including automatic cross datacenter provisioning and replication. This important new features creates a high level of application availability that can allow applications to stay online during a datacenter failure event.
We have found that use of the word PaaS creates significant confusion with many customers. For this reason throughout this guide we have used the term "Cloud Native Application Platform". The guide assumes that the reader has no experience with Cloud Foundry and does not understand what it means to push an application to a Cloud Native Application Platform. This guide requires the AppFog functionality to be enabled on your CenturyLink Cloud Platform account. Later in this guide more detail will be provided on determining this setting. This guide will use an application created and published by a third party named "spring-music" in order to demonstrate the functionality of Cloud Foundry. The application is published on GiHhub and instructions for obtaining this application will be provided when required.
1. Install Java JDK
Download and install the appropriate Java SE Development Kit, also known as Java JDK. The download location is http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html. This guide will use the Windows x64 version.
Follow the standard installation steps, accepting all defaults. This will install the Java application to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7. After installation completes you will need to create two System variables. These can be set by opening Control Panel – System – Advanced System Settings – Environment Variables. You will add a new System Variable named "java_home" with the path "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7". Next you will modify the existing PATH variable to add the additional path, "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" if it does not already exist. Once complete you can open a new Command Prompt to ensure the command "Echo %java_home%" and "Echo %path% both return C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 in the response.
2. Install Cloud Foundry CLI
Download and install the appropriate Cloud Foundry CLI version. The download location is https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli. This guide will use the Windows 64 bit Stable Installers bundle. Install the bundle using all default settings.
3. Install GitHub
Download and install GitHub for Windows. The download location is https://windows.github.com/. Install the application using all default settings.
4. Login to GitHub & Clone the sample application "Spring-Music"
After the install for GitHub completes the GitHub client will prompt for your username and password. If you have an existing GitHub account, sign in. If you need an account you can create an account at www.github.com
After successful login to the GitHub client, launch the Git Shell application from your start menu found under GitHub, Inc. The easiest method to clone the sample application is by running the following command in your Git Shell application:
git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-samples/spring-music
At this point in the process, the application is ready to be pushed to the CenturyLink Cloud AppFog platform. In your Git Shell application that is already open change the working directory to the newly created spring-music directory. Assemble the application locally on your PC by typing in the command : "./gradlew assemble"
5. Determine AppFog Login information
Login to https://control.ctl.io. On the far left hand navigation pane there will be a small cloud icon named AppFog once you hover over the icon. Select the appropriate origination that you would like to push this application to. In this example we are choosing CCTS, US East Region. In the Overview tab, you will see your login information that will be used in the Git Shell application.
6. Check/Add Member
Once a region has been selected the account you are using to login to the AppFog API Endpoint must have the appropriate permissions. In this example we are using Dev. We have created a member that matches our Control Panel Login and granted the appropriate roles.
7. Login to AppFog API Endpoint
Using the information you discovered above login to the AppFog API Endpoint with Git Shell Application. After you enter the login command you will be prompted for a password. This is the same password you use to login to https://control.ctl.io. Once authenticated, choose the appropriate deployment space. In this example we are choosing Dev.
8. Push Application
We are now connected and authenticated to the API Endpoint. To push your new application issue the command:
"cf push"
Once the application has been pushed to the API Endpoint you can issue the command "cf apps" to verify the status of your running application. Also you will see the URL for your new application. You can access the application immediately at that URL or you can create a CNAME record to match to a URL you desire. You can read more about CNAME records at this URL if you desire further understanding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record
That completes the process for publishing your first application to CenturyLink Cloud, Cloud Native Application Platform! This powerful platform allows for quick deployments that are easily scalable and provide the application availability that many organizations require.
