| Pavones
Pavones, South Puntarenas
Known as a surfer's haven, Pavones is a small community located along the southern Pacific Coast. Pavones isn't just another Costa Rica surfer town - this region is home to some of the best, longest waves in the world. This remote village can be a challenge to trek to, but as the second longest left behind Chicama, Peru, the travels may be worth it. Pavones is also surrounded by diverse wildlife in the lush rainforest nearby.
Playa Pavones
Pavones surfing is world-class
, but it isn't constant. When the south by southwest swell comes in, the surf here is fast, intense and the ride can last up to 2 minutes. No joke, Red Bull filmed Robby Naish surfing a wave for 2 minutes 15 seconds and going over 1 km! Writer Allan Weisbecker, author of "Can't You Get Along With Anyone? A Writer's Memoir and Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise," called Pavones the "world's second longest wave" in terms of length, height, speed and swell. However, many locals prefer to claim the Pavones surf as two separate waves - the outer wave, which goes across the nearby mouth of a river, is the larger of the two, while the inner wave provides calmer waves that are more appropriate for the less experienced rider. The waves here are only recommended for experienced surfers, which are always here in droves. Despite the popularity of the location, a respectful mentality definitely exists in the line up, with almost everyone following the order that they arrived. The break here is close to shore, and the bottom is rocky, so be sure to watch yourself if you wipe out early. The best time to travel to Pavones for surfing is during the
rainy season
, which lasts from April to November. However, this is the most challenging time to reach the area due to the roads and high rivers.
Not much of a surfer? Pavones has plenty of other activities to offer those who plan a visit here. Due to its location along the ocean, sport fishing is quite popular. Canopy tours in the area and horseback riding through the forest and along the beach are also common activities. The long, beautiful beach is also a great place to simply relax, sunbathe or take a long stroll.
Hotels at Pavones
used to be basic but have become much better in the past couple of years.

Gettting to Pavones
Pavones lies around 15 km south of
Playa Zancudo
and it is about 400 km south of the
capital city of San Jose
, the best way to get to Pavones is via
, either by flying or driving. Once in Golfito just go south for about an hour to get to Pavones.
Golfito Wildlife Refuge
Visitors traveling to Pavones will only be 60 kilometers from Golfito National Wildlife Refuge, a small and sometimes overlooked wildlife refuge. Spanning 28 square kilometers, the park was originally created to protect the water for the community. Golfito Wildlife Refuge is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna and a large variety of trees. Some of the species here tower more than 140 feet into the air. This park features several cycads, which are known as one of the most primitive plants in the world.
A number of tropical avian species and monkeys reside in the trees here, and visitors may be able to catch a glimpse of them while hiking. The trails here are quite steep, offering quite the challenge. The hike lasts about two hours.

For create a virtual host in ubuntu please follow the below step by step process.
Virtual host name is : "local.dating"
Document root for that virtual host : "/var/www/dating"
1. Create a file with name of your virtual host(name you want for your virtual host like "local.dating") on "/etc/apache2/sites-available/".
2. Write the following code on that file :
# local.dating
ServerName local.dating
#ServerAlias www.sitename.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/dating
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/local.dating-access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/local.dating-error.log
3. Now you have to enable this virtual host. To do so please go to your terminal and type following command
sudo a2ensite local.dating
To disable a virtual host use following
sudo a2dissite local.dating
where local.dating is the name of the virtual host you want to enable/disable.
4. Now apache is almost ready to restart, but before doing so, we must inform our linux system that dev.example.com and www.dev.example.com are not to be looked for on the net, but on the local machine instead.
To do so, simply edit "/etc/hosts" and add the new host names at the end of the line beginning by 127.0.0.1, which is localhost like below :
127.0.0.1 local.dating
5. And now we are done, simply reload apache by following command :
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Open your web browser and enter the following address local.dating. Magic, it runs the same as when you were using http://localhost/dating but it is far more usefull when devellopping a web service and want to be able to develop applications on your machine just like it is where the real web site.
You should now configure the sources for apt.Once that's done you can upgrade your system to get the latest updates.
- $ sudo -s
- $ aptitude update
- $ aptitude upgrade
You can also do the other steps on this page to configure the network, ssh etc.Only difference is that I prefer aptitude over apt-get since it's apparently better with dependencies….
Now we're ready to install the software needed by SugarCRM:
- $ aptitude install php5-imap php5-curl unzip
And set the right permissions….
- $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/sugarcrm
- $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/sugarcrm/cache
- $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/sugarcrm/custom
- $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/sugarcrm/data
- $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/sugarcrm/modules
- $ chmod -R 777 /var/www/sugarcrm/config.php
Now we have to edit the default php.ini for SugarCRM, so open it in your favorite editor.The path to the php.ini file is: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
- $ nano -w /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Find : allow_call_time_pass_reference = On
Change : allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off
Find : memory_limit = 8M
Change : memory_limit = 32M
Find : upload_max_filesize = 2M
Change : upload_max_filesize = 10M
And finally we restart apache for the changes to take effect.
- $ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That's it, you should now be able to go to the web installer of SugarCRM.Just point your browser to http://server-ip-address/(sugar crm directory)/ which should automatically load http://server-ip-address/(sugar crm directory)/install.php
And go on…
PHP have rich set of functions to solve real time problems in programming and web development.. thanks to Rasmus Lerdorf
eval — Evaluate a string as PHP code
A SET datatype can hold any number of strings from a predefined list of strings. The ENUM datatype restricts to a single member of the set of predefined strings, the SET datatype allows to store any of the values together, from none to all of them.
CREATE TABLE phpsolutions_set (
name SET('lamp','web','linux','joomla')
CREATE TABLE phpsolutions_enum (
name ENUM('lamp','web','linux','joomla')
If we want to fill the html select box with these two tables…
SHOW COLUMNS FROM phpsolutions_set;
> set('lamp','web','linux','joomla')
SHOW COLUMNS FROM phpsolutions_enum;
> enum('lamp','web','linux','joomla')
now based on column type set list of string values from mysql to php array…
// if column type is set
$arr = "\$set=".str_replace("set", "array(", $column['Type']));
// if column type is enum
$arr = "\$set=".str_replace("enum", "array(", $column['Type']));
Use $set PHP array to fill select box….
Geocoding (finding latitude/longitude for street addresses), Geotagging (tagging media with latitude/longitude coordinates), and Geolocation (finding latitude/longitude of computer with IP X-Forwarded-For). There are some options to install on linux environment:
# wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
# gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
# sudo mkdir -v /usr/share/GeoIP
# sudo mv -v GeoLiteCity.dat /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat
Install geoip with php5
# sudo apt-get install php5-geoip (ubuntu)
# sudo yum install php5-geoip (centOS)
# sudo pecl install geoip (with PECL)
In Windows environment we have to add extension "php_geoip.dll" with PHP
Download extension from here : http://blog.phpsolutions.co.in/php-5.2.1_geoip-w32.zip
Copy "php_geoip.dll" to xampp "php/ext" .. add a line in php.ini
"extension=php_geoip.dll" and restart xampp
This extension will work on development system using Windows, Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.2.10. check "geoip" with phpinfo() module is loaded.
We can
$record = geoip_record_by_name('www.phpsolutions.co.in');
if ($record) {
[country_code] => US
[region] => CA
[city] => Marina...
[postal_code] =>
[latitude] => 23.9776792798
[longitude] => -128.435796741
[dma_code] => 867
[area_code] => 400
$result = geoip_record_by_name('78.aaa.yyy.xxx');
There is alternative
PHP version of the GeoIP API from MaxMind,
but this solution is quite slow on servers. MaxMind uses MaxMind database to display geo locations.
Have you checked my previous article on cronjobs…
To run cronjob per second you have to execute crontab/cronjob per minute and then have to run task in cron file per second using PHP function time_sleep_until().
$start = microtime(true);
/// here is the tasks which need to run per second…
time_sleep_until($start + $ii + 1);
} // end for
if (!function_exists('time_sleep_until'))
function time_sleep_until($future)
if ($future < time())
trigger_error("Time in past", E_USER_WARNING);
return false;
usleep(($future – microtime(1))*1000000);
return true;

273. Good morning. Could I welcome you to the
third session of our inquiry into sport, open space and recreation.
Could I ask you to identify yourselves for the record.
(Mr Earley) My name is Don Earley, I
am the Deputy Director of the National Playing Fields Association.
(Mr Garber) My name is Paul Garber, I am a Trustee
of the National Playing Fields Association and Chairman of the
Land Protection and Planning Committee of that organisation.
274. Thank you very much. Do you want to say
anything by way of introduction, or are you happy for us to go
straight to questions?
(Mr Earley) If I could say a few words, Chair. Founded
in 1925 and granted a Royal Charter in 1933 known as the Playing
Fields Association for the United Kingdomthe NPFA really
is the only national organisation having specific responsibility
for acquiring, protecting and improving playing fields, playgrounds
and playing space. We have direct legal or ethical interest in
the protection of possibly 2,000 sites in the United Kingdom of
that nature. Our primary concern, particularly in the context
of this meeting today, is in outdoor playing space, which is space
that is safely accessible and available to the general public;
and of a suitable size and nature for sport, physical recreation
or children's play. I would wish to mention also that outdoor
playing space importantly is not the same as open space; open
space takes other forms of space available to the community, although
outdoor playing is an important requirement of it. I say that
only in the sense that many local authorities themselves have
in the past confused the NPFA's view about outdoor playing space
with open space. Our involvement in planning issues is fairly
broad. Obviously we take the opportunity to try and influence
national policy. We do make comments on emerging local plans;
and also we are contacted by many members of the public for advice
in relation to threats to green space or play facilities or recreational
facilities near to where they live. I think the other thing I
would wish to stress here is that the NPFA is a different type
of body from Sport England (Sport England has a focus on sport,
indoor and outdoorours is recreation more generally) but
there is a lot of commonality between our work. We are a voluntary
body, charitable by nature; and the organisation of Sport England
is more, in a sense, inside government with a lot more funding
and a lot more staffing. I think it is fair also to say that Sport
England's role is more strategic; whereas the NPFA gets involved
more at grass roots, particularly in terms of where we have land
275. In your memorandum you said that you do
not necessarily think that the revised PPG17's guidance will be
workable, in the sense that it will actually protect open space
in the way you desire. I think you accept that the Government's
intentions are right but that it might fail in practice?
(Mr Earley) Yes.
276. Could you elaborate a bit more on your
ideas on this?
(Mr Earley) It is clear, I think, that the Government's
intentions are quite clear, and there is a desire, and a genuine
desire, to protect open space. I think our difficulty stems from
references in fact to disposals of playing fields. The references
effectively say that if playing fields are to be disposed of then
one needs to make an assessment and ensure that no other form
of open space is in fact deficient. I think that is very difficult.
If you look at open space types, we have parks, we have golf courses,
we have allotments and we have children's play areas, formal or
informal. Each and every one of those would need to have some
form of standard or assessment or benchmark by which it is assessed
as to whether it is going to be in excess or underneath whatever
that benchmark or measurement may be. I feel that the functions
of different forms of open space, the land take that may be needed,
for example, for a public golf course by comparison with much
smaller facilities, make the whole exercise very, very difficult
indeed. Whilst the aim is certainly there and recognised, I think
in practice it will be difficult. I think we also have to bear
in mind that in many senses planning for sport, recreation, leisure
and children's play is rather a poor relation and resources are
not put in to ensure that assessments of need/determination of
standards take place. I think that is where the difficulty lies.
277. You have explained the problemwhat
is the solution? Is it one of the type of definitions in the guidance,
or is it something else you are looking for?
(Mr Earley) I think the references to playing fields
in the previous guidance were probably better than the position
we are in with the present guidance. The NPFA itself is involved
with playing fields and you get requests for disposals of land.
The view that we generally take is that you need to show in any
once instance the land is no longer going to be required by the
community involved and, therefore, it is surplus. As a charity
we also put proceeds back into it. I think the difficulties we
have sometimes in terms of disposals of playing fields are that
there is a reliance upon assessments. While it may be possible
to make assessment of a playing pitch demand today, there are
many sports development programmes which may mean that in ten
years' time that land is going to be needed again. There are difficulties
in that. I think at the present time, we satisfy ourselves as
the NPFA by saying that the previous paragraphs within the existing
PPG gave a clearer position, and clarity is, I think, important.
278. How do you judge or what evidence do you
have to show that six acres of playing space per 1,000 people
is the correct minimum standard that should be applied up and
down the country?
(Mr Earley) You are asking for evidence, and I think
we would want to point you to, for example, the work that was
undertaken by the Oxford Brookes University. There is a reference
in there to recommendations. Where assessments have been undertaken
of the NPFA recommendations they have tended to indicate that
more land might be required, and that is an external source. I
can certainly reflect back to around 1994 when there was a register
of recreational land compiled by the Sports Council, but with
the help of ourselves and the Council for Physical Recreation.
Part of the Standard (and I say "part" because it was
only that part which applies to playing pitches and three acres)
was assessed and calculated in relation to public access and the
population count. In that instance, allowing for the fact that
that survey was not judged to be 100 per cent accurate, making
some allowance for that, you probably ended up in those days with
about 38 per cent meeting the NPFA Standard. The evidence from
external sources indicates that, despite the fact it was drawn
up a long time ago, it is a good working tool. We would not claim
that it is the only working tool, Chair. We would not wish people
to think that the NPFA Standard should be slavishly adhered to;
but we do think it is a good working tool and, until something
better comes on to the table, I think it should be retained. We
would also say that local studies are very important for putting
local reflection on the position.
279. Is it not strange that the use of outdoor
sports facilities and open spaces changed quite substantially
over the last few decades, and yet the Standard has not changed
at all?
(Mr Earley) It may appear to be strange, and people
clearly can and may take that view. I think we have to bear in
mind that the Standard is a minimum Standard; it is not an optimum
Standard; it is not a maximum Standard. I think it would be the
case that sometimes there may be land in excess, sometimes it
may be about right and sometimes it may be slightly under the
NPFA recommendations. Having said that, it is a Standard that
applies not specifically to individual sports or types of land
use in that sense; it is trying to protect the recreational land
bank overall. There are issues there, as I have just mentioned,
about latent demand, and the possibility of increased participation
in the future which means we need protection now.
(Mr Garber) There is another factor also which comes
into this and that is the change of technical facilities that
are available. You have multi-use facilities which not only relate
to dedicated activities (for example, you can have a multi-use
surface, an astroturf surface for hockey pitches; they facilitate
extended usage beyond the normal daylight hours; they are not
having the dictation of weather conditions, which would normally
limit use) but also, significantly, out of the specific sports,
they facilitate other activities to take placewhether it
is general training, whether it is hockey or it could be linked
to cricket training for example. One cannot ignore the development
of indoor facilities or the excellence of those facilities. You
can have areas such as multi-use games areas, which are outdoor
facilities which can quadruple (and possibly way beyond that)
the level of activity and the type of activity; because you can
have an inter-relationship from volleyball, to basketball, to
netball, to tennis. All of these provide a wide opportunity. That
demand is met very much partly by technology and the opportunities
that technology has created, and that technology links with the
surfaces and to matters such as floodlighting. There is an intrinsic
benefit that comes out of that which creates that balance. I think
that is particularly important in urban areas, where those opportunities
are very wide.

On Friday, April 7th, the night after God-Emperor Trump succumbed to the trickster (((Jared Kushner))) and his Israeli induced missile strike on Syria, Richard Spencer called to action the Alt-Right for an anti-war protest outside of the White House. While most of us were drowning in black pills or theorizing far-fetched 4D chess scenarios, Spencer took to the streets and encouraged anyone who was anti-war to stand by his side.
Upon reaching the site of the protest, antifa nigger-in-chief Daryle Jenkins and a coterie of subhumans were already there filming the protest while demonstrating their support for the Pro-War (((globalist))) agenda. Not even five minutes after Richard had told a group of school children on a field trip, "tell your mommies and daddies: no more neo-con wars," the antifa faggots arrived and began their autistic screeching as they marched across the lawn.
Mike Enoch of TheRightStuff.biz led the intellectually diverse crowd in chants such as: "We want walls, not wars!" and "anti-white," as well as urging the revolting antifa mob to "Take a shower!"
Having a good amount of experience with Antifa in NYC and Philly, the one important difference that I noticed in D.C. was the higher proportion of white trust fund children. They were particularly nonplussed by when Enoch began chanting "Trust fund commies off our streets," and antifa earnestly offered up such winning clichés as: "Communism has never been tried."
After protesting the kikeification of Trump's foreign policy advisers, the police started to escort us away as antifa followed while screaming "Fuck the police."
Soon after we had started to leave, a faggot decided to blow up a glitter bomb in the face of Richard and his bodyguards. Yours truly gave the faggot a left hook and tackled him to the ground in hopes the police would grab him up; instead, he was able to flee within the chaos, and I also kept moving to avoid arrest. I truly hope that the degenerate is okay, so we can see each other again next time he decides he wants to sprinkle fairy dust.
The MSM couldn't quite wrap its head around the EEEVIL NAAAHTZZIIS actually striking the most reasonable anti-war stance.
Spencer has long been an outspoken supporter of Trump and his policies, including building a wall on the southern border and banning refugees from entering the country. But his decision to lead a handful of protesters to speak out against the strike has been emblematic of the split between Trump and some of his most ardent and far-right supporters.
Spencer and his supporters also seemed to be focusing much of their attention against Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump's husband and one of the president's closest advisors.
If the alt-right's core ethos could be reduced to a single maxim, it would be this: to each his own. This is the attitude that undergirds the support for racial and cultural separation and white nationalism that the movement is most closely associated with.
Richard Spencer, whose support for Trump has dimmed as Trump's stances on immigration have, according to Spencer's harsh measure, softened, issued what is perhaps his most forceful rebuke of the president so far in a video titled "The Trump Betrayal." "I have to be brutally honest," he said. "I am deeply disappointed in Donald Trump. I'm shocked, and I'm angry. And I am ready to condemn Donald Trump." He was far from alone.
Some of the far right's opposition to Middle East intervention was driven by anti-Semitic theories about the role of shadowy Jewish globalists in setting American foreign policy. But overall, the stance of what would become the alt-right on the Iraq war, nation-building, and interventionist foreign policy was motivated by opposition to the idea that Western-style democracy could be delivered by force to people seen as backwards—and also by the desire, voiced by Brimelow, to see resources devoted to making the country whiter and more prosperous. "Does anyone want to consider what our aims are in all this?" Spencer asked of the Iraq war in 2008.
Regardless of who wins the battle between Bannon the bulldog and Kushner the kike, everyone will know the Alt-Right were the only ones supporting peace.
The cops were slowly leaving when Richard and his Brown Shirts snuck out from the crowd to try for a taxi. We quickly found one driven by a Paki, while the antifa found us and surrounded the vehicle. The poo-in-loo didn't know what to do, as we screamed for him to drive if he wanted to live. Instead, he made his people proud and abandoned the vehicle while Richard and his bodyguards had to evacuate the vehicle straight into a crowd of violent commie rabble. The police quickly arrested some of them; however, instead of guiding us to safety, they merely told us to keep moving.
We ran down the street, searching for a new cab. In an exemplary display of the merits of diversity, every Paki driver refused to accept Richard's fare, whilst a horde of antifa chased us on bikes and on foot. We ran across the Washington Monument's lawn — beseeching the cops to do their job and maintain order — but seeing as they were a bunch of colored beneficiaries of affirmative action hiring, they decided that doing their job was not on the agenda and simply ordered us to continue running. Eventually, after what seemed to be a mile or two of running to safety, we split into two different cabs.
Post-protest we rendezvoused for an Alt-Right party where we swapped stories, drank milk, and hailed Bannon. All paths lead to total Aryan Victory regardless of the outcome with Trump in Syria, and at some point we need to take our destiny into our own hands.
I am talking more about this on episode 26 of Caerulus Rex's Salting the Earth – live now as of the time of this publication.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 9, 2006
IRIS Distribution, the leading digital distribution company dedicated to the successful marketing and promotion of prominent independent music and video catalogs, today announced a partnership with renowned independent jazz label, Palmetto Records and visionary web development company, BKWLD that will create the first mobile content store geared towards jazz enthusiasts.
JazzOutLoud's comprehensive offering will include both ringtones and full track downloads across a spectrum of different jazz styles. The mobile music will be available for purchase via the web or short code and will be powered by Faspay. Early labels on board with JazzOutLoud include Palmetto Records (Dr. Lonnie Smith, Fred Hersch, Ben Allison, Ted Nash), Sunnyside (Dave Holland, Luciana Souza, Ben Monder, Steven Burns), Thirsty Ear (Sex Mob, DJ Spooky, Matthew Shipp, David S. Ware), Preservation Hall (The Preservation Hall Jazz Band), and Kayo Sterophonic (Anita O'Day), among others.
"Palmetto and BKWLD are the perfect partners for this project," says IRIS Chief Marketing Officer, Bryn Boughton. "The staff at Palmetto brings not only a deep passion for jazz but a desire to combat the elitist persona often associated with the genre. In order to create an experience that makes both traditional and modern jazz more accessible and more fun, we brought in BKWLD, a visionary web design firm with the skill and eye to create the perfect aesthetic."
At a time when the hits driven mobile market is dominated by rock and hip hop, an important market segment has been overlooked. "Our goal is to bring jazz to the market in new and innovative ways. The mobile market of high-end phones and the demographic segment that jazz caters to is a perfect fit. There is amazing music being made in this genre and this is but one more way to get it heard," says Pat Rustici of Palmetto Records.
Mobile content has grown in popularity as advanced handsets have become more ubiquitous. Consumers desire personalized mobile phones that reflect their individual lifestyle and musical tastes. Along with purchasing pre-defined ringtones, JazzOutLoud includes Faspay's edit on the fly technology that allows jazz fans to create their own custom ringtone from the section of the song that is most meaningful to them. "The ringtones that will be purchased from JazzOutLoud truly reflect the tastes and style of the fan because they can choose exactly the portion of the song that they want, " says BKWLD Vice President of Entertainment, Edmond Meehan. "We are excited to offer the Jazz community a dedicated place to discover this type of unique content."
JazzOutLoud will launch this fall.

Beyond beef and barley soup: Development of nutritionally dense, hulless food barley varieties for organic farmers
CSANR Project 133
Status: Complete
Project Summary
Barley has well-documented nutritional advantages over other small grains as a source of human food. Researchers from WSU have been breeding and selecting hulless food barley types, a novel and promising market class for Washington growers. For this current project, our research and extension goals are to: 1) identify and release high yielding, disease resistant, and nutritious hulless food barley varieties optimally adapted to organic farming systems; 2) collaborate with organic farmers and leading chefs to expand the knowledge base, awareness of, and action towards including food barley in our food and farming systems. Our hulless spring food barley nursery will be grown on three organic farms in 2014, including the WSU Organic Farm, Finnriver Organic Farm, and Harvest Ridge Organic Farm. Grain yield, disease resistance, plant height, tolerance to lodging, and other agronomic traits will be evaluated. Post-harvest, the grain will be analyzed for nutritional composition of tocols, phenols, β-glucans, and mineral nutrients. To develop a flavor profile and a unique extension methodology, world renowned chef collaborators will lead a team of chefs to test flour from our different barley lines in diverse food products for both performance and flavor. Results will be disseminated through field days at all trial locations, and through a diverse range of outlets including farmer-targeted print publications and web-based media. Ultimately this project proposes the release in the near future of one or more hulless food barley varieties that exhibit optimal nutritional quality, taste, food quality, and yield in organic systems.

Here are some snapshots from yesterday:
I decided that obviously a rainy day called for a Sister Act marathon. So far, so good. Especially since the movies come in one convenient package! I wrote graduation notes and continued some wedding crafts while I watched Miss Whoopi sing, dance, and do nun things. Hilarity ensues, of course.
Then I decided to bake.
I found an easy peasy recipe for cinnamon bread, which I thought sounded like a fabulous aroma to fill up my kitchen with for when my man came over later for coffee. I decided to even throw in chocolate chips because, heck, chocolate makes everything better. Not to mention that it's always good news when I start changing recipes.
So into the oven it went, when Ian arrived, which always makes life better. Have I ever told you about this magical ability we have to bring each other out of our deepest funks? It's like we should marry each other or something.
Here's where things get a little fuzzy. For some reason or another, after giving Ian his mug 'o coffee, I was bent over my desk shuffling things around (Looking for something? Organizing my pens and pencils) Either way,I stood up too fast (too much caffeine!), and hit my face on the wall. Yes, hit my face. On the wall. How does that even happen?
So I may or may not have curled up on the couch in the arms of my man and cried like a four year old for a few minutes.
But ah, the cinnamon bread was done! Surely some delicious cinnamon bread could wipe those tears off my throbbing face. But when I pulled it out of the oven, it looked a little....flat. After cutting a piece, the loaf brought back images of high school cooking class where the teacher showed us how quick bread is not supposed to look.
Flat 'n crumby. Mmmmmm.
And here's the kicker: it tasted even worse than it looked!
And I forgot to put the chocolate chips in.
(Chocolate is what would have saved it, I'm sure.)
So what does a girl with a bruised face, fail bread, and an appetite the size of China do?

Twitch Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Twitch was the first and the last character I bought in LOL. Sometimes I play with others, but they could not really bring me that feeling of satisfaction with kills. So, if you like fu**ing up enemies, and can't live a single day without rampage that guide is for you!
For those, who are not familliar with idioms, "Before one can Jack Robinson" means extremely fast. Pure logic whispers: "Something is gonna be really fast in twitch builded like JewishMaze****er offered!!!" Daddy's gonna tell you what: the attack speed (AS)!!!
One more direction is dodge. Twitch becomes the main aim before you can say Jack Robinsos ;). I see no point in maxing hp for insurance. The only solution - max dodge chance. I love gambling!!!
Mastery tree description
I think my mastery tree is gonna surprise you. Most points are in attack. But something is wrong... Why do we need 1 pont in exhaust?! we have skill 2 (poison) instead of it!!! But it is extremely useful, when enemies come 1 by 1 (1 dies, second hurries to help him) and they are so surprised that they are always slowed and easily killed. Moreover, now exhaust gives -10 armor and magic resist to your victim, so making first blood in first 1-2 minutes becomes as easy as hot knife slices butter.
In defence we give equal points to armor and magic resist, just to escape discrimination. Then we max evasion, and take the only point in nimbleness (so you can run away if you get ganked).
Skill Sequence description
Expunge is your main skill! That is the secret of your success in killing/stealing/lasthitting/whatever-you-want. So, maximise it first!
Ambush is upped at level 2. If you are a skilled player (and you MUST become so be4 buying twitch) you will not need it for a while.
Until level 4 you can live vithout slowing poison.
Ulti is upped at 6, 11, 16... standart
Rune buid description
Here everything is clear. 9 seals evasion for (oh my god!! what for?!!?!?) evasion, 9 marks of alacrity for AS. Choosing glyps I decided to buy 4 for crit chance and 5 for crit damage. You can purchase more for AS, but I found for myself that crit chance and dmg is a pleasuring bonus while killing characters. And 3 quinessences for dodge are required (one of the main streams of the guide is supported)
Item perchases description
The main topic in my guide. I have made VERY detailed item purchases, which I didn't see in any guide. Remeber that simple items unite later in grosser ones, so don't be afraid about the number of items bought.
I don suggest to purchase items on hp, armor, magic resist and so on. The motto of the build is "Kill him, beofre he kills you" (c) Billy Joel.
If your enemies did not surrender until you finally got infinity edge, it means that now you can kill any enemy hero in couple of seconds.
Final Suggestion: do not initiate any massive fights! wait until tanks do it. You are assasin, so you should get assured that you are 1 on 1 with you victim twice before you start killing it.
I wish you good hunt, my dears. And remember, that guide did not exist... ever...
This is my first guide, guys. I need to know how to make it better (by these words I mean, what extra information to include... I don't give a **** to what should be excluded... really) Thanks for you attantion. If you liked it - give me thumbs)

AFTER VOTERS rejected an effort in December to empower Columbia's mayor to run day-to-day affairs, I suspected the Midlands had heard the last of strong mayor for a while.
But strong mayor is back in the spotlight — this time in the smaller municipalities of Chapin and West Columbia.
While I'm a big supporter of strong mayor, I'm conflicted by the possibility that two referendums could be on the ballot in the fall — one aimed at constraining Chapin's strong mayor and another focused on empowering West Columbia's weakened mayor.
Perhaps I should pounce on the opportunity to defend strong mayor in one instance and get it implemented in another. After all, I did lead our editorial board's charge over the past decade and a half to get Columbia to adopt strong mayor. The board has long supported having an empowered, elected executive with whom the buck stops running day-to-day affairs at the federal, state and local level.
So why am I conflicted about what's happening in Chapin and West Columbia? What concerns me is that strong mayor has become a focus, not because of thoughtful contemplation about what is the best governing structure for these municipalities, but as a last-ditch effort to address other troubling issues that won't be resolved by a change in the form of government: personality clashes and power struggles among the mayor and council as well as their inability — or refusal — to work collaboratively.
Consider these snapshots of what's going on in Chapin and West Columbia, and you'll see what I mean.
• In Chapin, Mayor Skip Wilson, using his position as strong mayor, has operated as a bull in a china shop. He's made unilateral decisions and refused to hold council meetings or allow certain issues to be discussed, among other things. Mr. Wilson, whose recent firing of the town's long-time clerk further angered council members, has twice won court challenges to his authority over daily operations, including personnel and finances.
But some members of the council argue that the mayor routinely oversteps his authority, pointing to the clerk's dismissal as one example.
Mayor Wilson insists he's trying to do what voters indicated they wanted when they elected him over Stan Shealy, who had served as mayor 32 years. But I don't think anyone in Chapin would suggest that the division and negative image his strategy has brought the town are what they were expecting when they elected Mr. Wilson.
Little meaningful work is getting done as the mayor and council remain locked in this power struggle. Some in the town are seeking to force a referendum that would reduce significantly the mayor's control on personnel, finances and agendas; the council would assume control.
I can't see any reason why Mr. Wilson shouldn't be able to be effective without all the fighting and legal wrangling. The Chapin mayor does have significant power, some of which the council apparently ceded to the mayor over the years, perhaps because Stan Shealy had served so long and ably that people trusted him.
If Mr. Wilson sought to build bridges rather than ramrod his way through the process, there's no reason he — along with the council — couldn't get things done.
That said, the council also has to realize that voters did choose Mr. Wilson as mayor; council members must find a way to work with him.
Unfortunately, Mr. Wilson is behaving in a manner that gives fodder to those strong-mayor critics who say an empowered executive has too much leeway to act as an imperial ruler.
If Mr. Wilson isn't careful, his antics could lead to him losing some power — and affect what happens in the West Columbia referendum.
• In West Columbia, Mayor Joe Owens and a majority of the council have been engaged in a power struggle for months over who should control the agenda and meetings.
Council members complained about the way the mayor managed the agenda and meetings and charged that Mr. Owens was intolerant of others' views. Mr. Owens said council members were upset because he is outspoken and he took away council perks. Ultimately, the council voted to strip the mayor of his control over meetings and to rotate that duty annually.
Instead of engaging in a legal battle, Owens supporters engineered a successful petition campaign aimed at restoring power taken from him, and then some. City Council has scheduled the referendum for Sept. 30.
Interestingly, if strong mayor is approved in West Columbia, Mr. Owens and future mayors will receive even more power than the position held before the council stripped it of some of its authority.
But will giving the mayor control over day-to-day operations address the issues that caused all the fuss? No. As a matter of fact, it could make matters worse. If the council and mayor are fighting now over the limited power the mayor traditionally has had, giving him more power will just create a bigger fight.
The bottom line is that the infighting on the Chapin and West Columbia councils isn't about what form of government works best in those municipalities. These are duels over power, and strong mayor has gotten caught in the crossfire.
Regardless of what happens here, this shouldn't be seen as a poor reflection on strong mayor. It's a reflection of poor leadership. It's about elected officials who have failed to work out differences and seek compromise.
For whatever reason, we've entered into this era of politics where even on the local level, we get intractable, my-way-or-the-highway representatives serving.
Whether you're a strong mayor or weak mayor, you've got to deal with the council members you are elected to serve with. And town and city councils, whether they're dealing with a strong mayor or not, have to recognize that people do elect mayors based on the vision they articulate, and council members need to find a way to work with those elected executives.

Half a Million Rwandans Face Cell Phone Disconnection this Week
Published on: 5th Apr 2011
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) has cancelled the mobile network operating license held by Rwandatel for allegedly failing to meet its license conditions.
The network is to be shut-down on Friday April 8, 2011 at midnight, affecting over half a million customers.
The company was given until this Friday to close its network so that customers could use up outstanding credits on their prepay accounts.
The telecom company is partially owned by Libyan investment group - LAP Green - with an 80% stake and the Social Security Fund of Rwanda (SSFR) which has 20 percent. It will continue operating fixed lines, which are mainly used in offices.
The move is not related to UN sanctions on Libyan assets held overseas.
Rwandatel has over 535,710 subscribers, putting it third behind MTN Rwanda with 2.3 million and Tigo Rwanda with 685,000 users.
The company switched from an older CDMA network to a Huawei supplied GSM network in December 2008.

I began, with some extra, durable gloves and a great old rag! Little by little rubbing the stain in, filling in all the little nooks and crannies. (I also used a foam brush to get into all the little hard to reach spots) Finally, I saw the color I was looking for. Once I had, I continued with it inside and out, top and bottom, until there wasn't a hint of its former color. I love how the simple addition of a stain brought out the grain of the wood, like I had hoped it would. Once done, it had to sit for a day or two to absorb and dry. When it was completely dry I covered it completely with a couple coats of Polyurethane, to give it that nice sheen.

Let's not wonder what it is exactly about the sight of two beautiful women exploring each other's bodies that is so erotic. It's probably the most common male fantasy, but what often goes unspoken is that even straight women might find themselves titillated by Sapphic lust. That's why a movie like Lesbian Beauties 2: Older Women – Younger Girls, from Sweetheart Video and Mile High Media, can be a hit with a large audience. The premise of mature beauties being paired with just-legal girls makes all-girl lovin' even more exciting.
Blonde cutie Aubrey Addams is an aspiring escort who's just turned 18 and wants to start working right away. The thing is, she's a virgin. Her madam is sure her beautiful, new, untouched girl will fetch a high price, so she's not willing to put Audrey to work until she finds the highest bidder. When Audrey finally gets to work, she's surprised to find that her first client – the one who will take her virginity – is not a "he," but a "she": the experienced Michelle Lay. Audrey thinks it's impossible to lose her virginity without a cock involved, but Michelle, amused, assures her that it's quite possible. The older woman tells the teen how honored she is to be the one to take her virginity, and assures her that nervousness actually will make her enjoy it more. Audrey seems excited to be trying something she never thought she'd do. Kissing her young partner and fondling her small tits, Michelle takes her time easing Aubrey into things. As you would do with a first-timer, the more experienced woman wisely makes sure to show her young playmate all the pleasurable sensations of touch, both given and received: breast play, a little bit of toe sucking, pussy licking (Aubrey is a natural), three-digit fingering, and then the mutual bliss of both sixty-nine and grinding. Then, after both women have experienced the heights of feminine ecstasy together, Michelle reveals the toy that will pop Aubrey's sweet cherry: a pink strap-on… which just happens to be the teen's favorite color. In a couple of different positions, they have sex so tender you forget that Michelle has paid for the privilege. They spend over 45 minutes together, and you get the impression that Michelle is going to be a repeat customer.
Young redhead Annabelle Lee is at the kitchen sink washing dishes while the older Asian beauty Kitty Langdon fidgets behind her, as if struggling to find the way to say something that's on her mind. Finally Kitty says that Annabelle is doing a great job as her baby's nanny. The only problem is, Kitty suspects that Annabelle is coming onto her husband. Awkward! Gradually, Annabelle manages to admit that, while she is dressing to impress and acting flirty, Mr. Langdon is not the target of this behavior. It's Kitty! Now it's Kitty's turn to feel awkward. Annabelle points out that Kitty doesn't seem that upset, but it takes her a while to wear down Kitty's resistance. When she does, the two gorgeous women prove to be very into one another. Annabelle can't even wait to take off Kitty's dress to put her mouth on her employer's perky nipples – she sucks at them through the material. When Annabelle puts her hand on Kitty's clit through her panties, it almost sounds like the older woman is ready to cum at once. Even just grinding against Annabelle's leg as they kiss elicits vocal appreciation from the MILF. In a paradoxical appearance of chaste decorum, they spend a great portion of the scene fully clothed, but eating each other's pussies through their panties. It's extremely erotic, but don't despair that there's no nudity; the two gorgeous women do bare their tits and pussies to each other about halfway through. Kitty's rock-hard nipples point at the ceiling as Annabelle licks, sucks, and bites on her clit yet again, making Kitty shriek in ecstasy as she cums. Then Kitty reciprocates, using both her fingers and her tongue to make Annabelle scale the heights to a quivering, almost giggling, then screaming climax.
While there is admittedly a natural enmity between youth and age, there is a place for both kinds of sexiness and beauty. In Lesbian Beauties 2, they strike a natural balance. There is always room enough in the world for teen sex kittens and mature women of the world.

ECBL: Games suspended, postponed
By Rudy Coggins
Published in Sports on June 11, 2013 1:47 PM
Late-afternoon rain storms washed out two Eastern Carolina Baseball League games and forced the suspension of two other contests on Monday.
Wayne and North Lenoir completed one inning before the storm arrived. Southern Wayne and Greene Central were knotted at 2-all after two innings when inclement weather sent both teams home.
A make-up has not been announced for Wayne-North Lenoir.
Southern Wayne and Greene Central will conclude their suspended game July 1 in Dudley.
The Wilson Christian-Aycock White and Eastern Wayne-Rosewood games were complete washouts. Aycock White coach Nelson Cunningham said his team will play host to Wilson Christian at 6 p.m. Friday. No decision was made on an EW-Rosewood make-up date.

NEWS REPORT: All three quarter-final pairings of the Men's EHF Cup have been determined by a draw in Vienna.
Füchse face Tatabanya, Magdeburg take on Anaitasuna
The 2015 Men's EHF Cup winners, Füchse Berlin, will play against Hungary's Grundfos Tatabanya KC in this season's quarter-finals after the draw in the EHF Office in Vienna determined all pairings for the last knockout stage before the LIQUI MOLY EHF Cup Finals.
SC Magdeburg, who won the EHF Champions League in 2002, will face Spain's Helvetia Anaitasuna, while the third German team MT Melsungen will lock horns with Saint-Raphael Var Handball from France.
There will only be three quarter-final fixtures as the defending champions and hosts of the final tournament Frisch Auf Göppingen have avoided the quarter-finals and qualified directly for the final tournament courtesy of their first place in Group B.
The first leg of the quarter-finals will be played on 22-23 April, while the second leg will follow one week later. The LIQUI MOLY EHF Cup Finals will take place on 20-21 May in the EWS Arena in Göppingen, Germany.

Lancris Residences hits HOME
I hate airports. I hate the departure area. I hate goodbyes. I hate till we meet again. I hate not knowing when you will see the other person again or not knowing if you ever will see each other again. I hate when people leave. I just hate it.
On this note, one of the places I love the most is the arrival area because it means I get to see someone I care about again. I loved it when my Grandparents would come and visit. I loved it when my Aunt would be here from UK for a visit. I loved it when friends who have been away for some time would arrive and we would catch up. This is why when I saw the video of Lancris Residences entitled Homecoming, it made me tear up. It just hit home.
My grandparents are now gone. My Aunt is visiting but we don't know when she will be able to go back again. Most of our relatives overseas no longer have a reason to go back but I know that if they had some property here, they would most likely retire here. I miss them. I pretend not to but I do.
Every OFW should have a home they can call here so that they have a reason to come back. Lancris Residences ensure that this happens.

Donald Trump Must Not Banish Europe
There is perhaps no more effective and efficient way for Washington to project strength than from the platform of a robust and united NATO alliance.
PERHAPS NO item on President-elect Donald Trump's foreign-policy agenda is as unclear as his new administration's approach to the American relationship with Europe. There are some obvious reasons for this. At various moments in the campaign, he appeared to call into question the Atlanticist consensus over security and economic policy supported by U.S. administrations and European governments for nearly seventy years. Among other things, he questioned the relevance of the NATO alliance and his commitment to abiding by the Article Five obligation to come to the aid of allies under attack. At the same time, he underscored his disdain for the European Union by openly supporting Brexit while also singling out Chancellor Angela Merkel for her open-door policy towards migrants from conflicts in the Middle East. Meanwhile, European governments are unnerved by President-elect Trump's call for scuttling the Iran deal and walking away from the Paris agreement on climate change.
Prospects for U.S.-Europe relations during the Trump era, at least at this point, do not look good. The question that many Americans (including some Trump supporters) might ask is: does it matter? Europe seems to confront a multiplicity of crises, ranging from internal challenges, such as low economic growth and rising populism, to external threats, including Russian aggression and Middle East terrorism, that seem to be sapping the continent's political resolve and global position. So why, then, should a new Trump administration waste energy and resources on working out common strategies with the Europeans?
From a historical perspective, the answer is clear. In both the Cold War and the post–Cold War eras, U.S. international primacy has flowed, at least in part, from America's security partnership with Europe. In the 1980s, an important element of the Reagan administration's military buildup was strengthening NATO. Then, following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the United States, working closely with Britain, France and West Germany, was able to achieve the peaceful reunification of Germany in negotiations with Russia. More recently, U.S. and European collaboration on Ukraine-related sanctions and in fighting the Islamic State have not only augmented American leverage but conferred political legitimacy on these policies.
This is not to suggest that all is well within the alliance, particularly as far as burden sharing is concerned. Even Barack Obama has complained about the " free-rider" problem within NATO. And on the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly called for higher European defense spending. But this is a topic where Trump can already claim some credit: expecting new pressure from Washington on spending and worried about a continuing commitment to Europe, a number of NATO capitals appear ready to entertain defense-spending increases. While the allies have endorsed the goal of spending a minimum of 2 percent of national GDP for defense, a Trump administration is likely to push to make this a hard-and-fast commitment.
But beyond more spending and stronger defenses, the incoming administration also needs to appreciate the strategic utility of closer U.S.-Europe security cooperation. As Trump himself has indicated, an important goal of his presidency will be exploring the possibility of reaching a new understanding with Russia. At this point, it is not clear what this possible "deal" might look like. But one thing is apparent: if anyone understands power, it is Vladimir Putin. A Trump administration will get a much better hearing for its ideas if it is dealing with Moscow from a position of strength. There is perhaps no more effective and efficient way for Washington to project strength than from the platform of a robust and united NATO alliance.
Several things flow from this conclusion. One is that whether it likes it or not, the new administration will need to engage in what the State Department calls "alliance management"—the feeding and care of key NATO allies. Lacking such consultations, it will be harder to maintain Western unity on sensitive policies, such as Ukraine-related sanctions. Last April, as Trump began to emerge as the Republican favorite, he delivered a foreign-policy speech in Washington calling for a NATO summit in the early days of his presidency. This is a very good idea. Politically, it would reassure anxious allies over America's commitment to the relationship. Substantially, it would enable him to lay out an updated version of the Nixon administration's "defense and détente" strategy for dealing with the Soviet Union. This would entail rebuilding NATO defenses and political cohesion as an essential means of reaching a solution for Ukraine and reducing Russian aggressiveness along NATO's eastern flank.
BEYOND NATO, other steps are necessary. Germany, especially after Brexit, has emerged as the key strategic actor in Europe. As the earlier debate over EU sanctions on Russia underscored, German leadership is increasingly indispensable for European action. Major friction between Berlin and Washington would severely complicate U.S.-Europe cooperation, not only on Russia but along a wider range of political and economic issues. Over a longer period, a breakdown of the U.S.-Germany relationship could weaken America's global position, destabilize Europe and offer Russia an opportunity to expand its sphere of influence.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Rory McIlroy didn't give himself the birthday present he wanted Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship.
With a 2-under-par 70, he earned himself yet another top 10, tying for eighth, but he wasn't overly excited about it.
"Top ten-ing every week is fine, whatever," McIlroy said. "You just want wins. It's another solid week, but they're top 10s without really getting in contention. I don't want to just backdoor top-10 it every week. OK, it's nice, you pick up a nice paycheck, but it doesn't really get the adrenalin going. I'd much rather be in the mix."
Wells Fargo Championship: Articles, photos and videos
McIlroy was serenaded around Quail Hollow on his 25th birthday. He appreciated it, but he was disappointed he couldn't mount a run at his seventh PGA Tour title.
That's three consecutive top-10 finishes now for McIlroy, five in seven starts this year in PGA Tour stroke-play events. He's frustrated, however, that his only chance to win among them was his second-place finish at the Honda Classic.
"It's solid," McIlroy said. "It's not really what I want, but it's going in the right direction. I feel like I'm improving a little bit each and every week and, you know, hopefully one of these weeks it will all come together for me."

The Reporter reports on three big-budget movies, two of them with animation directors directing live-action for the first time.
Brad Bird, THR says, had plenty of expert assistance and came out fine. Andrew Stanton the paper isn't so sure of.
But they end on a positive note, with the help of an Anonymous Person:
... "I've got a lot of faith in this guy," one former Disney insider says of Stanton. "Remember: Finding Nemo was supposed to be the first Pixar flop." ...
Me, I think the movie will take in some good-sized grosses. The trouble is, when you spend between $200 and $300 million on a picture, you decrease the Mother Conglomerate's chances for making a profit on the movie. It's one of the problems hand-drawn animate features had in the 1990s. Their budgets doubled, then doubled again. And the big profit margins turned narrow or negative.
The same thing applies to live-action extravaganzas. The more the production budget, the less the opportunity to end up in the black.
