At times do you feel like your IT department is like "Chicken Little" predicting chaos and mayhem if additional resources are not allocated to the IT budget? You are not alone. However, there is some validity to this request. Companies (Microsoft, Cisco, etc.) associate a life cycle with equipment and software. During the life cycle the company provides support and security patches. Once equipment or software have reached their end of life support and security patches are discontinued. Continuing to utilize end of life equipment and software places your business at risk.
The end of life for Windows XP is a popular example. Windows XP was the most popular operating system at one time. Microsoft supported it for approximately 12 years. On April 8, 2014, Microsoft discontinued Windows XP. The continued use of Windows XP creates an unnecessary risk for businesses because support and security patching is no longer provided.
Another example is the Cisco PIX vulnerability. Forbes published the article, Shadow Brokers Leak Just Revealed How The NSA Broke American-Made Encryption, explaining the exploit:
"The weakness resided in Cisco's PIX product, discontinued back in 2009, according to an analysis by London-based security researcher Mustafa Al-Bassam. The so-called BENIGNCERTAIN exploit dropped by the Shadow Brokers was not dissimilar to the infamous Heartbleed hacks of 2014: the snoop would send specially-crafted requests to a Cisco PIX server – in this case what's known as an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) packet – that would cause the device to dump pieces of its memory. Keep doing that and eventually the hacker could get the passwords for the PIX devices. The firewall could then be hacked."
Hackers continually search for vulnerabilities so there is not a "silver bullet" solution that will protect you 100%. However, there are best practice standards that you can implement to reduce IT security risks.

The CFPB Proposes New Rules and Changes to Regulation C to Apply Changes to the HMDA Required by Dodd-Frank
The CFPB's Proposed Rules Primarily Effects How Banks Collect and Report Data
On August 29th, 2014, the CFPB suggested a rule and changes to its Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure) to apply changes to the HMDA (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Currently, Regulation C has different coverage criteria for depository institutions and non-depository institutions. Under the new proposal, any lender meeting the definition of "financial institution" under Regulation C will be required to report HMDA data if they originated more than 25 covered loans (excluding open-end lines of credit) in the previous calendar year. The CFPB also proposes to broaden the types of loans required to be reported. Currently, only home purchase loans, home improvement loans and refinancing loans are required to be reported, while other loans are optional. Under the August 29th proposal, financial institutions would be required to report all closed-end loans, open-end lines of credit and reverse mortgages secured by dwellings. Loans secured by raw land and temporary loans would continue to be exempt, and reporting unsecured home-improvement loans would not be required.
In addition to this, the Bureau would like to parallel many of the HMDA data reporting requirements with the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization standards for residential mortgages. The CFPB would also like to change disclosure and reporting requirements. Presently, financial institutions report their HMDA data annually, by the 1st of March the following year. The Bureau wants this to be quarterly reporting, for those financial institutions that report large volumes of HMDA data.
The proposed rule contains a great deal of technical and detail-oriented instructions for collecting and reporting data. These are found in proposed Section 1003.59b0 of the Regulation and in proposed Appendix A to the Regulations.
Banks (as well as others) may comment, and if you believe these changes, or the specifics of the implementation of these changes as published in the notice, will have an adverse effect on your business please explain. You are encouraged to comment electronically. Comments must be submitted by October 29, 2014, and must be identified by Docket NO. CFPB-2014-0019, and may be sent the following ways:

…so my friend Michelle had no clue what a blog was and I tried to explain… "uh…you like…post…stuff…"
This particular blog really has no point, I suppose. I don't have any political stances that I'd care to rant about…I have no superior knowledge of any certain topics to expound upon…nor do I have any profound, thought-provoking, action-warranting ideas to send out into the ever growing abyss known as The Web.
So why am I doing this? The answer is…"uh…I dunno." I guess I want to feel as if someone, anyone, cares what I had for dinner today, or what I did today. Or maybe it's just a small way of proving that I exist.

Getting 2-for-1'd feels bad. It's one of the first lessons you learn as a magic player. A good way to lose a game is to have two of your spells trade for just one of your opponent's. It doesn't take too many opposing copies of Doom Blade targeting your Holy Strength'd creature before your spirit is broken and you become a lot more hesitant to jam auras in your draft decks. That feeling isn't unwarranted; you should be skeptical of auras in Limited. As a general heuristic, you'd be better off than a lot of other players if you just never played with auras at all. But this article is about becoming familiar with the spots when playing with an aura or 2 in your deck is a good idea, with special attention paid to the Eldritch Moon/Shadows over Innistrad Limited format.
Remember the Runemarks
Before we dive in to Eldritch Moon specific cards and interactions, I'd like to take a minute to take a jab at Pro Tour champion Alexander Hayne. While this article is meant to show you when creature auras can be worth running, a lot of times they're just bad, like really bad. Alexander Hayne's top 8 draft deck from GP Atlantic City 2015 is a good example.
The presence of 2 copies of Abzan Runemark in his deck is particularly funny because they're unable to give any of his creatures vigilance. They're just generic 3 mana auras that give +2/+2, a heinously clunky rate and clearly on the wrong side of the playable line. That's not to say Hayne was way off-base to include them in his deck. Sometimes those are just the cards that you play when you switch colors halfway through pack 1 or when you're drafting with a bunch of people that don't let good cards float around the table for long. You end up with some real stinkers in your deck. That being said, playing 2 copies of Abzan Runemark in a red/white deck is still quite a sorry sight to behold.
The other side of the runemark case study is Jeskai Runemark in a deck with lots of red and white permanents. I remember having some success curving Wandering Champion into Jeskai Runemark. A 5/3 flyer on turn 3 is a good place to be, even with the risk of getting blown out by a removal spell. But, the reason Jeskai Runemark was playable wasn't just because of the dream curve draw. It was also reasonable in the mid-game or in a board stall. Giving your creature a stat boost and evasion can be pretty powerful across a good number of board states. Also, slapping a Jeskai Runemark onto Whirlwind Adept was a big play. If you've never seen the G/W Boggles deck do its thing in modern, take my word for it: hexproof creatures are good with auras.
The dichotomy between a naked Abzan Runemark and a Jeskai Runemark in a deck with creatures that pair nicely with it does a good job of illustrating the theme of this article. You need a reason to put auras in your deck. Usually they're bad and you should be skeptical of them when you're evaluating new cards, but understanding the sets of circumstances where they become playable can increase your equity in Limited by a nontrivial amount. I had an aha moment during the last Limited format, Shadows over Innistrad, when I finally gave Open the Armory a closer read after I'd seen it wheel for the umpteenth time. If you have an aura removal spell that you're already interested in playing like Bound by Moonsilver, Choking Restraints, Sleep Paralysis, Spontaneous Mutation, or Imprisoned in the Moon, running a random creature buffing enchantment starts to look more attractive if you have an Open the Armory in your pile. That way Open the Armory can turn into late pick playable that essentially serves as a removal/aura split card.
Brad Nelson and the 3-0 Triple Aura Deck
The feature match in round 2 of Pro Tour Eldritch Moon is what inspired me want to write an article on this subject. Brad Nelson had a very interesting G/W aggro deck that was packing a number of main deck auras to good effect. Watching the match live I was taken aback with how weird it was to watch Brad, a Pro Tour player and likely future Hall of Famer, ham-handedly jam auras against an opponent with tons of removal. I remember it vividly: Randy Buehler's on commentary talking about Brad's improved Limited game since he started tested with Team EUreka, and I'm just sitting there laughing as Brad slaps Equestrian Skill and Lunarch Mantle onto his guys and turns 'em sideways.
After Brad won the match on the back of a Lunarch Mantle draw that was equal parts fast and convincing, I stopped laughing so hard and started to think about the application of Mantle and other auras in Eldritch Moon limited, something I hadn't done before.
Lunarch Mantle, and auras in general, carries a lot of risk. Brad even noted on Twitter that his first draft "did not go well." But that's not to say that the auras in Brad's deck were there without purpose. The presence of Ironclad Slayer and Lone Rider made them much more attractive, and they generally fit his game plan of getting in early damage as they're a way to help to push through the final points. Watching Brad's match against Ari and the way he utilized auras to pull out the win is a good use of your time, especially if you use the increased speed function on YouTube. Just generally speaking, Magic can be a slow game to watch and increasing the speed of the videos you watch can make viewing a more enjoyable and efficient experience.
Here is the match in question, Brad vs Ari
Hot Takes on the Auras of EMN & SOI
What follows are my succinct opinions on every power and toughness boosting aura from the current limited format.
Faith Unbroken: A high pick. It's no secret that this card is powerful, but I think it's a bit overrated these days. LSV recently said in an episode of Limited Resources that the card is swingy but that you're more likely to win games, rather than lose them, when you get to resolve it. That's debatable. In a deck without aura synergies, this card is still a huge risk. I like to sideboard it out liberally against decks with plenty of removal or bounce spells, and I've had opponents be unwilling to do the same against me, which I was happy to see. If you're worried about removal, it can be wise to put this card on one of your less valuable creatures, like one with a pacifism effect already enchanting it or something that's lost relevance in the context of a board stall, like a Loam Dryad. It can be tempting to beef up your flyer and increase your clock, but it really does leave you with your pants down against removal from your opponent.
Lunarch Mantle: Surprisingly strong. This is in the context of decks with synergies (again: Lone Rider, Ironclad Slayer, aggressive starts, etc.) can be very powerful. The activated ability to give your creature flying and punch through damage is a huge deal. The rate is in the sweet spot, as with almost all auras you should never pick this highly, but I've been quite pleased in my experience with this card.
Strange Augmentation: B-A-D. +1/+1 is not worth a card. You want your auras to be good with your aggressive starts, not only reasonable after you've assembled delirium.
Prophetic Ravings: Shy away. This one's serviceable if you're in desperate need of a madness outlet, but it's just not good at helping your aggressive draw and it still packs the classic aura two-for-one risk.
Wolfkin Bond: Alright. A traditional aura this card is not, as you've got some blowout insurance with the wolf it leaves behind, though a five mana 2/2 isn't exactly an amazing rate. It's certainly not as good as Elephant Guide or Knightly Valor even though it bears some resemblance. In a regular deck, it doesn't excite me and I'd almost always rather have a generic five-drop like Thornhide Wolves or Wingmate Roc (this is how I affectionately refer to Emissary of the Sleepless). But, it's better than a really soupy five drop like Hound of the Farbogs. In your decks with an Open the Armory and a Bound by Moonsilver, or a pair of Lone Riders and an Ironclad Slayer, this card is a fine inclusion. It is usually playable in decks without any synergies.
Gryff's Boon: Excellent. The small power boost is nice but the strength of this card really lies in its ability to be recurred form the graveyard and the evasion it grants. If you're much more control than midrange, you'll sometimes leave this card in your sideboard, but usually it's just great for every deck. For Heliod's sake, this card sees play in standard.
Hope Against Hope: Occasionally decent. Three mana is much better than four for this effect. You want a large presence of Creatuers and humans, and even with them it'll still usually be correct to not run this card. But making a huge first striking human can be powerful. Ironclad Slayer of course makes this card more attractive.
Ghostly Wings: Meh. I haven't had a lot of success with this card despite it looking reasonable. It has built in blowout protection in that if it resolves you can discard a card to save your guy from a removal spell. If you're counting, that's still a two for one. It's also reasonable at giving delirium. The evasion it grants is also appreciated, but the problem with this card is that it doesn't pump power and toughness enough to be particularly strong in an aggressive deck (where you want auras).
Senseless Rage: Thumbs up. This card excels in a deck with lots of madness outlets. You mitigate the two for one risk of an aura when you get to use it as a combat trick. And you can still play this on your Lone Rider on turn three if that's how your draw lines up. I do think it's a big mistake to run this card in your deck without somwhere around two madness outlets. Even thought his card without madness outlets looks similar to Mantle, it's nowhere near as good.
Spiteful Motives: Great. It's good for the same reason senseless rage is good with a lot of madness outlets, except you don't need the madness outlets. You get to trade it for one of your opponent's guys when they block, and you're left with a huge monster afterwards.
Equestrian Skill: I'd rather not. Four mana is a lot this type of effect and as a result this usually falls on the wrong end of playable. But in a pile of cards without a more consistent game plan, it can warrant an inclusion. Obviously it's best if you have a high density of humans with which to grant trample.
Invocation of Saint Traft: No thank you. This card sets a clever trap since people like rares and Geist of Saint Traft is a great card. But, without boosting your creature's power in any way, the card is pretty abysmal. The curve of Tattered Haunter into Invocation is a nice one, and the Invocation somewhat approaches reasonable if you're aggressive and have tons of evasive creatures. But I'm not a fan of this card in the vast majority of decks. Auras in general tend to not excel on defense, but this one in particular is bad since it does stone-cold nothing.
I hope this article helped you towards adopting a nuanced perspective on auras in Limited and the Eldtrich Moon format specifically. Here's a look at an aura packing deck that I 3-0'd with in a Magic Online 8-4. I'll warn you, the Lunarch Mantles in this deck are not much better than an Aim High or True-Faith Censer would've been. But I definitely think they're better than Woodcutter's Grit or Cultist's Staff (just to give you a frame of reference).

New to Port Hedland
G'Day Guy's.
I think it is about time I said Hello. I have been trolling this site for about six weeks while still living in Melbourne. Now I have landed in Port Hedland its time to start doing some serious fishing.
I have learnt a lot about W.A. fishing by reading your posts and watching videos. This site has a lot of info for someone that has not done the type of fishing I am about to experience.
I will be fishing land based until me and the misses get settled in and I can find a boat as I had to sell my old one before leaving Melbourne. It was going to cost me more in transport costs than I paid for it, so time for an upgrade.
I managed to get a bit of tackle in my suit case but will have to wait about a month before most of my gear gets up here, I think thats a good enough excuse to buy more don't you? (the CFO said she will be keeping a close eye on my bank account until she gets up here).
I hope it won't be too long and I will be posting my own fish pic's and posting stories of the one that got away and maybe even the one that didn't.
So thanks for all the knowledge you guy's have passed on, now it's time to put it into practice.
Cheers Steve.
If I had a dollar for every fish I caught it would not pay for the tackle I bought.

Hi Steve, as John said I do live in Hedland, I fish land based a fair bit but also head out in the tinny occasionally, fishing around Hedland is very tide and season dependent, we target different species depending on the tide and time of year, shoot me a PM any questions that you have and I will try to help.

Was: $84.99

I ordered this set for my 19 year old daughter who loves pink and black. The comforter is gorgeous and soft. The "reversible" sheet set is nice; but surprising. By reversible, it means that the top half is one print and the bottom half is the other print. The reverse comes by changing which pattern is at the head of the bed. The sheets aren't bad, but surprising, none the less. She loves the set and it looks great in her room. The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the half and half reversible sheet.Read More
I really enjoy the comforter, but the sheets are pathetic. The comforter is a large size for a twin (hangs down nicely), it's not too thin and not too thick, and the fabric is average. The pattern on the comforter is nice and crisp, not faded like a lot of bedding actually looks in real life. The sheets are a different story. The pink/purple switch is just awkward with the sheets actually being half one color and half the other color. And I thought the pillowcase was reversible, but that just means if you flip it over the other side is a different color. But as you can imagine with a rounded 3D object like a pillow, you can see the opposite color "peeking" around from underneath, and it just looks stupid. I think I'll be donating these sheets to goodwill and purchasing simple sheets of my own, which makes this overall deal a rip off. $70 for a simple comforter is a bit pricey.Read More
We washed the comforter and bed sets prior to using them and the comforter bleed onto the white polkadots. we did not dry it and tried to wash again, and it did not help. the sheets did not run just the shams and comforter, we have requested the product be returned and our money back. Overstock has agreed which makes us willing to continue to use this site.Read More
First, I must say, I love the concept of this set. I purchased two for my granddaughters room and love the look and so do the girls! However, while it is lovely, the craftsmanship is poor. the Comforter is lovely but do not hold up. After using the bedding for a two week and I have yet to wash the blanket,is is falling apart at the seams and all the bedding is sliding to the bottom of the comforter! I would have loved this to work, as I stated, it is a wonderful look! So very disappointed. Wish I could return it and get my monies back!Read More
the sheets were nice and soft. Unfortunately the polk a dot side bleed and I returned the item. I didn't reorder the same thing.Read More
My daughter was crazy about this set when she saw it so we ordered it. She's happy with it but I'm not very pleased with the quality. The design and colors are super cute, but the fabric is cheap, it's light weight and the filling is bunchy and sparse. Thumbs up from a 9 year old, not so much from mom. But, it's her's, not mine so I'm happy she likes it!Read More
HAPPY WITH PRODUCT, COMFORTORS ARE A LITTLE THINNER THAN I IMAGINED BUT IT'S FINE SINCE I LIVE IN A WARM CLIMATE.Read More
my 12 year old niece loved it, but i have to return it because i ordered the wrong size :( i have already re-ordered this productRead More

CHAPELTOWN Fforde Grene are two wins from being declared national champions – and boss Dave Harding thinks Fforde's name is destined to be engraved on the 2015 FA Sunday Cup.
Fforde booked their place in next month's semi-finals with Sunday's 2-1 success against Merseyside men Allerton, cheered on by a travelling Leeds contingent of over 100 fans at Liverpool Soccer Centre.
Yet another Merseyside team await in the semi-finals with Fforde set to take on Campfield at a 'neutral' venue yet to be decided, but it is Chapeltown's win in the last 16 that has Harding believing 2015 is finally his side's year.
Grene have twice been beaten semi-finalists in the competition but signalled their turn was near when shocking five-time winners Hetton Lyons Cricket Club 7-3 after extra-time in their own back yard.
Fforde had amazingly been 3-0 down and Harding hopes that for the footballing gods, a first national triumph for Chapeltown is written in the stars.
"I said before that I don't really pay heed to it until we get to the last 16," said Harding.
"But the last-16 game was against Hetton Lyons and that comeback has convinced me that our name must be written on it. No-one else is going to do that to them and I was reading on their web page that it's the first time in 12 years they haven't got to the last eight. It's some feat.
"Campfield are from the same league as Mayfair who we beat in an earlier round – Mayfield are fourth in that league and Campfield are third. I always say we will beat anyone on our day."
Compared to the epic nature of their last 16 victory, Sunday's success against Allerton was straight-forward with Fforde 2-0 up at half-time through Dan Sheriffe and Joel Hughes.
Allerton had also been reduced to 10 men after a player lashed out but the hosts set up a frantic finale by making it 2-1 from a corner with Chapeltown then needing all hands on deck to make the last four.
Harding was particularly keen to praise his assistant, 28-year-old nephew Adrian, who was formerly on the books at Leeds. Harding beamed: "He's loving it and I want him to get a mention because he's my right-hand man."
Fforde must now await news of where the FA decide to stage their March 15 semi-final with both Marine and Guiseley mooted as possible venues. Ironically, Harding says another trip to Merseyside might suit his men even better.
"We don't even call Liverpool away now, it's like a home," said the Grene boss. "And actually we have got a 100 per cent record in Liverpool so why break it?"

I want to do a boost leak test. Do I just remove the intake hose/filter box off the turbo and block turbo coupler(battery side) with soup can?, then feed air(15psi) into the intake manifold??

Swedish architect and furniture designer Axel Einar Hjorth was greatly inspired by the French Art Deco movement. He often used fine and expensive materials to craft sleek furnishings, such as tables, cabinets, chairs, and sofas in woods such as oak, birch, and rosewood. His designs are characterized by the free play of classical themes, a design ethos later adopted by a younger generation of architects and designers and absorbed into aspects of Modernism in Sweden. Creating designs for a variety of Swedish furniture manufacturers, including the Stockholm department store Nordiska Kompanient, Hjorth contributed to the burgeoning Swedish design culture and the international recognition it began to receive in the 1920s.
Swedish, 1888-1959, based in Stockholm, Sweden

Leo Tolstoy – Book quotes.
Leo Tolstoy is the wordsmith who was able to explore deep causes of all occurrences, describing an epoch contemporary with him, understand the nature of causal links between them.
All Tolstoy-'s works are full of the deepest psychologism; telling about biographies and acts of heroes, characterizing properties of their personalities, the writer is trying not simply to offer the reader a portrait of one or another person – he is revealing in front of us essence, a penalty, hidden detail of each separate character. Inner world of each hero – chief, as well as secondary – is being unfolded by an author through acts, utterances, actions.
The author always tries to analyze the inner motives of each hero. For example, there is «Childhood. Boyhood. Youth". The protagonist is engaged in introspection – and using this technique, the author reveals to the reader the cause-effect link between the thoughts, principles, beliefs of the chief character and his actions. The inner world of Tolstoy's characters is always ambiguous, the writer does not strive for non-ambiguity and laconism of characters created by him and images.
The main principle that Tolstoy is guided by in the process of creating artistic image is a mismatch of internal filling with its external expression. Good-looking, ideal outside characters are found out to be often themselves indifferent and cynical and plain, clumsy men – virtuous and rich soul.
Huck Finn appeared in 1883 and later served as a basis for all American Literature. It was a sequel of another legendary book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Mark Twain became probably the most famous American writer of 19th century.
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
"If you look for perfection, you'll never be content."
"It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness."
"I think… if it is true that
there are as many minds as there
are heads, then there are as many
kinds of love as there are hearts."
"Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be."
"He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking."
"If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you."
"Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them."
"We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom."
"If you want to be happy, be."
"Spring is the time of plans and projects."
"Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?"
"In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you."
"Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women."
"When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you'd like them to be."
"Rummaging in our souls, we often dig up something that ought to have lain there unnoticed. "
"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking…"
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness."
"Be bad, but at least don't be a liar, a deceiver!"
"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time."
"Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand."
"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."
"Anything is better than lies and deceit!"
"All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow."
"I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be. -Dolly"
"I've always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be."
"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral."
"If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war."
"Boredom: the desire for desires."
"Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source."
"The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience."
"Sometimes she did not know what she feared, what she desired: whether she feared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know."
"Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it."
"There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth."
"Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them."
"All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town."
"The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good."
"it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it."
"All the girls in the world were divided into two classes: one class included all the girls in the world except her, and they had all the usual human feelings and were very ordinary girls; while the other class -herself alone- had no weaknesses and was superior to all humanity."
"They've got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us–there is no life."
"If you love me as you say you do,' she whispered, 'make it so that I am at peace."
"True life is lived when tiny changes occur."
"But I'm glad you'll see me as I am. Above all, I wouldn't want people to think that I want to prove anything. I don't want to prove anything, I just want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself. I have that right, haven't I?"
"It's hard to love a woman and do anything."
"Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy."
"You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love."
"But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable."
"It's not given to people to judge what's right or wrong. People have eternally been mistaken and will be mistaken, and in nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong."
"The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness…"
"I often think that men don't understand what is noble and what is ignorant, though they always talk about it."
"What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility."
"Love those you hate you."
"He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began."
"If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed."
"Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here."
"He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul."
"A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction."
"He soon felt that the fulfillment of his desires gave him only one grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. This fulfillment showed him the eternal error men make in imagining that their happiness depends on the realization of their desires."
"Something magical has happened to me: like a dream when one feels frightened and creepy, and suddenly wakes up to the knowledge that no such terrors exist. I have wakened up."

Welcome! My name is Betty and I am the "B" behind "B's Garden Treasures." I live with my
husband, Ron, in Geneva, NY which is in the heart of the Finger Lakes. I recently retired
from my role as a Quality Manager for an international company, where I worked for over 20
years. Now I can spend more time doing what I love – working with flowers.
I've been an avid gardener most of my life and shared this love with my mother and now my daughter. I first learned about the art of pressing flowers in 2007 when I was the recipient of an original pressed flower picture. I contacted the artist and had many, many questions about the process. My first press was a telephone book covered with weights. It was so hard to resist the urge to "peek" before the several-week process of removing the moisture. By the time the flowers and leaves were dry, the original blossoms in my garden were long gone so I did not have the opportunity to correct my mistakes until the following season.
I discovered the Worldwide Pressed Flower Guild in 2009 when searching for classes on pressing techniques and quickly joined. This great non-profit organization promotes public education to unite pressed flower artists from around the world. I enjoy attending conferences, taking on-line classes and the fellowship offered through the on-line discussion groups where artists can ask for tips on anything related the flowers and pressed flower art. I now serve as the Guild's Public Relations Director. As a result of this wonderful organization of kindred spirits, my art has grown and I am continually challenged to try new methods, mediums and techniques. I especially enjoy creating complex landscapes using blue delphinium, onion membranes and/or pieces of leaves for the water; hydrangea, lily, rose petals and/or corn husks for the sky and pieces of leaves, banana peel and other botanicals for trees.
My current pressing method of choice is to sandwich my botanicals between highly absorbent desiccant paper layered with Viva paper towels and covered with patio bricks. This technique allows me to use my botanicals within 3-5 days. I also use a microwave press, a pegboard press and a food dehydrator to prepare my flowers, leaves and other botanicals for my art. These more modern pressing techniques result in more vivid colors and a much higher quality of pressed materials. I love sharing my art with others and enjoy teaching classes and workshops. I especially enjoy speaking at local garden clubs.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my site. And, if you have a chance, visit B's Garden Treasures at an upcoming show. See my show schedule under the Shows link. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Aloha All... got a chance to do a digital scrapbook page today. Have been meaning to complete this one for a while now. Finally got to sit down and work on it. Well, here it is, pics taken of my crafty lady friends during my May Stamp-a-Stack card class. It was such a fun day. These ladies are such joys to hang out with, and I am just truly blessed by their company. I thank the Lord for awesome friendships that I've found in the craft world.
I used a Becky Higgin's Project Life Template and Elements. Super easy and fun to create. I wanted to add more elements. But I think less is good enough. I got lots of pics on this page, and was even able to add in some journaling. :) Thanks, Project Life.
Stampin' Up! has Project Life, but no longer in digital format. I wish they still continued the Project Life digital elements part, because I would totally make use of it.
Thanks for dropping by today!! May your day be blessed!!!

We are extremely proud of our Air Conditioning Service and Maintenance area of the business, and we believe this is one of the key elements that really separates us from our competitors.
The process involves one of our professional engineers carrying out an initial diagnosis that will enable us to see if a particular system is not working as it should. Due to our extensive experience in this field, we are able to carry out the diagnosis in a timely manner and then quickly source any relevant and required parts to help maintain the system at its optimum level.
One of our main aims is to offer our customers competitive rates when entering into an Air Conditioning Service and Maintenance contract with us. Keeping a system operating to its maximum and prolonging its lifespan will assist in reducing those monthly energy bills.
Another advantage of our Service and Maintenance offering is that customers have a choice regarding when the contract work is undertaken. We offer flexible options and are able to carry out all work either during normal working hours or out of hours; whatever works best for the customer.
We very much respect the businesses and private properties that we work in and therefore ensure all work areas are left clean and tidy at all times. This is very important to us and we want our customers to know that a professional and courteous job will be carried out each and every time we enter into their premises. All systems will also be left in full working order, meaning normal activities can commence as soon as our servicing is completed.

Have You Flatlined?
I do not want to scare you, but you might be flatlining right now. I am not speaking of the kind of flatlining like a cardiac incident. I am talking about just being flat; not progressing upwards in life or business. When you are flatlining you can just sense it. You know that you are not growing, developing, or evolving.
As a business coach, I believe business owners must look at their numbers and metrics every month. Numbers not only tell you how much money you have coming in and going out, but they tell you a story about growth, decline and flatlining from a purely analytical view.
When I work with individuals, one of the biggest challenges that my clients face is flatlined in an area of their life. On one level or another, they are stuck but aware enough to know they need to move upwards towards a better or position than where they are. Those clients know on a very personal and instinctual level that they need to take action, but they need someone to work with to help them get moving again.
Flatlining in business and in someone's personal life have very similar indicators and often-similar ways of dealing with this condition.
Identifying when you are flatlined:
Lack of excitement – When you are flatlining and not moving up, the energy is very even. Today is just like yesterday and it will be the same tomorrow. There are no breakouts of new ideas, new challenges and new victories of note. For a team or business, this lack of excitement can be experienced by a sense of no new challenges for the team to face.
You are stuck in old patterns – The difference between being stuck and lack of excitement is that being stuck has some more tangible elements to it. Being stuck indicates that there are mindsets, habits and maybe policies in place that are keeping you where you are.
Think of the old rotting mooring lines on a boat. You can have a massive boat that is very powerful but a couple of relatively small lines (mindsets, habits or policies) can keep that boat from taking off from the dock and out to new seas.
Sense of the world passing you by – Again, for a number people this might be hard to understand but for the rest of us, you get a sense that your peers, your family and friends are moving forward and you are not. For numbers people and business owners, when you check on things like the finances, market reports, etc. and the data says that you should be growing on different levels and you are not, this is an indication of flatlining.
So, if you happen to be flatlining or leveled out what can you do about it?
As my mentor Dave Ramsey says, this is a good news – bad news thing. The bad news is that you are the cause of the problem. The good news is that you are also the solution. Moving back into a current of growth involves two major steps:
Mindset shift – Start waking up and counting your blessings. Stop thinking about what you have to do and start thinking about what you are able to do. In a work setting as the owner or manager, start thinking about how many external or internal customers you get to serve and share your unique products and services with. As an individual, same thing, start the process of changing your thinking to all the things you get to do today, this week.
Sometimes when people and teams flatline there is a sense of depression or lack of energy that can accompany this feeling. Thinking a little differently can put some much needed fuel in the collective tank and you will be surprised how innovation and new ideas start to come in when people are thinking about the cool stuff they are doing now and the cooler stuff they could be doing tomorrow.
Take action – Take action in a new direction. If you are a business leader, start increasing your knowledge of your industry by reading trade journals and other materials that discuss the challenges, new technology and trends in your industry. Everyone, no matter if you are a business leader or someone who is just personally feeling stuck, should include efforts to expand your network. It may be just the right time to meet someone who will provide that spark you are looking for.
Another helpful action step is to engage a coach or even a consultant who can help you evaluate where you are and develop a plan of where you want to go. In business, it is not uncommon to have someone or teams come in and perform a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis that is used to create future business plans.
A personal coach might be engaged to help tackle a number of items in your life. I have engaged coaches to help me in areas as diverse as starting a coaching business to working on my kayak skills. Each time I was able to move from where I was stuck or flatlined. So, if you want to take action to move from where you are to where you want to go, check out engaging a coach. It might be just what you need to get you up and moving forward.
Coach's Wrap Up
Flatlining can happen for a number of reasons, and it is not a bad thing to get to areas of stability as long as they are short durations. What can become dangerous is when you do not move again to the next level.
In business, doing what you did and how you did it years ago can lead to the business failing to grow and possibly failing. For the individual, do you really want to be the same person three years from now that you are today? Remember, movement and growth equal life.
Have you ever found yourself flatlined? How did that feel compared to the movement you took to move beyond that point? What was the better experience?

Meat is murder, and art, but mostly murder
This just in (the oven)! Meat baby causes turmoil, tastes great.
Our story today begins in April 2010. Two good friends of mine were planning a baby shower to welcome their daughter, Madison Liddane, into the world. The plan was simple, produce the penultimate baby shower with hilarious games and themes known citywide as the "baby olympics". This was not your ordinary, bugaboo baby bouncing tea party. This was an EXTRAVAGANZA of epic birthin proportion. The (drinking) games introduced to the 50 or so guests (not the proud parents of course) included a drunken tricycle obstacle course, melted candybar diaper eating race, dizzy wheelbarrow relay, four shot baby bottle chug, and few others wich for implied reasons I can no longer remember.
My gift to the happy couple was a catered spread for thier dining pleasure. I made all the usual fan favorites, salads, panini sandwiches, crudite platters, dips, chips, and a life sized sculpture of a human baby made entirely out of meat.
I cannot tell you where the idea came from because it came out of thin air, and seemed to me like a great gag. So on that day, as we all celebrated one couple's first born joy, I made my own baby, from 80/20 chuck.
I expected the parents to love the project, since I knew thier sense of humor pretty well, but was also dreading what the other guests would think of this morose centerpeice. To my amazement, it was greeted every time with rolling belly laughs and photo oppportunities. I think just about everyone at that shower got a photo holding that ten pound, six ounce, meat baby.
So my creation was a hit. Yay. And then it was over, meat baby had long since become sandwiches, and it was a cheerful memory. Until it was brought to my attention one day that my meat offspring had a facebook page. And it was true, someone out there was impersonating my baby, and heres the best part... It has more friends than me. Being in total shock of this, I start searching for it on a few other sites. It had recieved thousands of comments and gone viral.
All the feedback I recieved was so extreme, from adament fans of the work, to people condemning my psychiatric state. I had people cheering me on, and threatening me with the authorities. One lady (a midwesterner) said "if you think is is funny, then you have obviously not been to a country where babies are still eaten, you wouldnt find this funny if you'd seen that". Another said "this is disgusting, how can you laugh at this when there is already so much child abuse in the world? you make me sick". I laughed until I peed a little. Some of these postings can be seen at:
The Facebook photo has recently been suspended for copyright issues and wil be back in no time.

In this age of 24-hour news, citizen journalism and ubiquitous means of disseminating and accessing news and information, it's hard to avoid matters that are shocking or upsetting.
However, now and again one stumbles upon news that is not just shocking or upsetting, but profoundly sickening – the kind of news that makes one want to vomit.
It comes as no surprise to me that the source of the latest vomit-inducing news is the Islamists – the half-witted, sexually-depraved, mentally-retarded Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis now in control of Egypt's parliament and sweeping across the political arenas of other Arab countries.
Today the website of Al-Arabiya TV channel reported that the Egyptian parliament is currently discussing two laws that would plunge the country to depths hitherto unknown to the human species. One law would permit a husband to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her death, and the other would lower the legal age of marriage for girls to 14 years.
According to Egyptian journalist Jabir al-Qarmuti, speaking on Egyptian ON TV on 24 April, the necrophilia draft law, dubbed the Farewell Intercourse Law, "is unbelievable. It is a catastrophe to give the husband such a right. Has the Islamic trend reached that far? ... Are there people thinking in this manner?"
The answer to both questions is yes. There is no limit to the depths to which Islamists will plunge. And yes, as anyone who has met Islamists would know, your typical male Islamist, whether Muslim Brotherhood, Salafi/Wahhabi or Al-Qaeda-type jihadist, is driven largely by sexual frustration and a chronic social ineptitude that makes it difficult for him to form relationships with women (hence the prevalence of homosexual acts among Islamists, e.g. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia) and leads to pathological misogyny.
In May 2011 a demented Moroccan cleric, Zamzami Abd-al-Bari, issued a religious ruling – a fatwa – saying that, in his learned view, necrophilia is permissible in Islam because marriage remains valid even after death. To allay suspicions that he might be acting in a sexist manner by conferring privileges on males only, the perverted cleric added that a woman also can engage in sex with her dead husband.
However, while the legal significance of Abd-al-Bari's religious ruling is no greater than his IQ, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and their Salafi co-legislators have taken one giant leap further by seeking to enshrine their depravity in law.
And it doesn't stop there. Instead of devoting their attention to Egypt's considerable problems – over-population, homelessness, grinding poverty, corruption, to mention but a fraction – the sexually-depraved misogynist perverts of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafi al-Nur Party are launching an all-out onslaught on women's rights in Egypt. As Al-Arabiya put it, in addition to lowering to 14 years the legal age at which girls can marry,
They wish to cancel many, if not most, of the laws that promote women's rights, most notably a law that allows a wife to obtain a divorce without obstructions from her partner. The implementation of the Islamic right to divorce law, also known as the khula, ended years of hardship and legal battles women would have to endure when trying to obtain a divorce.
Egyptian law grants men the right to terminate a marriage, but grants women the opportunity to end an unhappy or abusive marriages without the obstruction of their partner. Prior to the implementation of the khula over a decade ago, it could take 10 to 15 years for a woman to be granted a divorce by the courts.
While I feel sick at the mindless self-indulgence of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, I am also happy that the Islamists have embarked on a course that will eventually result in their political annihilation. In Egypt as in the rest of the Arab world, those who voted for the Islamists will have to taste their bitter poison before turning against them. In this way, the Islamists will eventually achieve what Ben Ali, Mubarak and Gaddafi failed to do with their repressive apparatuses. They will self-destruct.
In the interest of fairness, I would highly recommend reading this related article, "Egypt 'necrophilia law'? Hooey, utter hooey", published in the Christian Science Monitor (CSM).
I agree with CSM about media that publish and regurgitate stories without bothering to check the facts. However, one reason for this - which is also the reason why I published my blog post - is that, despite this story being reported in the Egyptian and international media, neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor the Salafis of al-Nur Party have denied it. They must know the damage it is doing to them, to Egypt and, indeed, to Islam as a whole, yet not a murmour of denial. So, what are we left to conclude other than that it is true?

Asset managers across Canada may be affected by a recent court decision in Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (Agnico) v. The Queen.
In this case, the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) set out a methodology for determining foreign exchange (FX) gains and losses on the conversion of U.S.-dollar denominated convertible debentures into shares. The method that the FCA used for computing gains or losses for these types of corporate actions in this case may differ from the method currently used by many asset managers.
This decision effectively reverses the methodology used by the Tax Court of Canada (TCC) in an earlier decision for this taxpayer. As a result, investors and investment funds that hold convertible securities should reconsider their current methodology for calculating FX gains and losses, and ensure that this methodology is properly reflected in any related tax adjustment.

This is the most simple but delicious fall dinner idea I have ever come up with. It takes two second to get everything done and everyone in my family really enjoyed the meal. Pork chops with green beans and homemade mashed potatoes. Check it out.
The best part about the meal was the stuffed pork chops. All you need to do is cut a small incision through the side of each piece. Take a slice of provolone cheese and break it into three pieces and stuff the pork chop. I liked breaking it up so that you can fit it into the pork chop and its more evenly distributed. I sprinkled the top with a paprika/red pepper mix. Lay them on the pan and cook them at 400 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
For the potatoes, wash and peel them. Once that's done, put them in the microwave for 10 minutes (in two 5 minute increments) and cook them almost completely.
Use onion and garlic to your own taste. I don't like to tell people what to use, because to each his own. I used this much for the amount of potatoes that I was cooking and the taste was delicious.
In my Nutribullet, I combined the onions and garlic with a little olive oil and whizzed it together. This made a delicious paste that I added to the mashed potatoes once they were done cooking in the microwave. I combined everything together in a pot over the stove with 1/2 cup of milk and half a stick of butter. Mmmmm.
The green beans were simply cooked in a pan with paprika and that's it! What's your favorite fall go-to meal? If you recreate this one, let me know and tweet me pictures!

What you want, baby I got it.
In these days where diversification is essential, IYI is the king of the yoga centers in NYC. (Granted, the others will have time to shock and awe me, but for now…)
As previously noted, I was lured to Integral Yoga Institute by a nude yoga class class called Yoga and Networking for the Unemployed. Well, I showed up on the wrong day (typical) and was left with plenty of time to peruse the vast offering of classes by IYI.
Here are some highlights:
– Yoga for the Unfit and Inflexible: Ochan, stop making excuses. Apparently, yoga is now for everyone. Stop complaining about how "muscular" your shoulders are and how limited your range of motion is. Suck it up. (file under excuses…)
–Knee Care and Yoga: I'm legitimately interested in this yoga because I mysteriously have knees of a 90 year old. This, however, isn't quite as bad as my friend Kev who has knees of a dead person. Whether you have bad knees, or ghost knees or no knees you can now improve them through your yoga.
–Yoga and Power Animals: I am personally going to find that kid from Jivamukti Mediation that does the Gregorian chanting. Shit, I don't even want to meet my power animal. I want to meet his power animal. I just know mine would be something lame like a jaguar. His was a friggin' lion with blue angel wings and wolverine claws that wears a diva wig and line dances to Garth Brooks or something like that.
–Wah! A Kirtan and Concert: Swami Satchidananda meets Bon Jovi.
–Native American Pipe Ceremony and Yogic Shape Shifting: Because in my early yogic days I had the priviledge of briefly dating a ShIT (shaman in training) who stopped seeing me because I was reticent about drinking his jungle brew and finding god through projectile vomiting. Perhaps, though, it IS time for a revelation.
–Spa Day for Women: Seriously, all joking aside, I am doing this and it sounds AMAZING. For $108 you get a "full-day nurturing experience including Hatha Yoga, meditation, and a yummy vegan lunch and featuring Reiki, Qigong, facials, and a personal body treatment."
Aside from all of these special courses and workshops (which most of the above are) they have a great offering of standard classes with varying durations. They've got your regular hatha, your [insert time of day] hathas, Relaxations, Yoga for Vets and even HIV Yoga. Now, if that's not well-rounded. I'm not sure what is.

New Delhi: The controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) is needed in Jammu and Kashmir to protect soldiers, Union minister and former Army chief Gen VK Singh on Monday said.
"AFSPA is an enabling Act. It is needed to protect a soldier," Singh told PTI on the sidelines of a function here.
Singh, whose tenure as Army chief had led to a cold war with the then government in the state headed by Omar Abdullah, claimed that the Army had been filling "administrative void" in the Valley.
"There is a very interesting relationship that the Army has. It has excellent rapport with people and all those who will tell you that Army is a demon out there and should be thrown out and AFSPA is creating A B and C, I think they are only toeing a particular line which is not true," he said.
Singh was speaking after releasing a book "Holy sinners: search of Kashmir" written by Major (retd) Saras Tripathi and brought out by Manas Publications.
During his speech, he gave his veiled support to an incident in which Army firing resulted in killing of two youths in Chattergam in November last year. Army had later apologised for mistaking them as terrorists and also initiated a Court of Inquiry against the erring troops.
"The first thing happens there is if somebody shouts he panics and presses the accelerator. What does the soldier do? He has been told that people going like this may be terrorists. Four young people. But it becomes a national news of horrendous action Army did. What happens then? Cautionary measures.
"So when a terrorist comes and enter a military camp, the soldier may... Take adequate precautions and in taking that precautions he gets killed. So it is a very complex way of living and very complex way of operating," he said citing the incident.
The troopers of 53 Rashtriya Riffles had opened fire at a Maruti car in which five youths were travelling on November 3 last year when they allegedly failed to stop it at a check post near a village in Srinagar. Two of the occupants had succumbed to their injuries.
Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Statistics and Programme Implementation, also criticised Bollywood for projecting Army men in poor light.
"Kashmir is an ongoing issue and various movies have been made depending on what the producers or the directors were thinking about. I would take a strong exception to a large number of movies because they do not show Army in the correct light and I can name them too," he said.

Under the leadership of Lord Kam Virai, the Department of Defense was organized into two Battlegroups. Each Battlegroup serves as a multi-role, rapid-response element that can undertake any operation without requiring any additional resources or units.
This served to correct the mistakes found in the previous, multi-division organisation that the Department of War had as well as more adequately serve the needs of the Kingdom given the size and potential issues that could occur in Elysian territory
Whilst there are two Battlegroups manned by the Department of Defense, a third Battlegroup can be formed from the reservist forces in the Kingdom of Elysia should the need arise. To this date, no reservist has been called into action.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) declared, "Congress should entertain the possibility of legal action" over the Iran deal on Saturday's broadcast of WABC New York's "Larry Kudlow Show."
Cotton said that the side deals mean that the sixty-day clock to vote on the deal should not have started ticking, and the president doesn't have the authority to waive any sanctions until Congress is provided with the side deals. He added, "I think the Congress should entertain the possibility of legal action to enforce that law, since the president is so flagrantly violating that law."
Cotton also stated that while the president will go ahead with the deal, "under the terms of the deal itself, sanctions should not be lifted until sometime in the new year, maybe as late as late winter or early spring. That would mean, if the House and the Senate, or both combined, move forward with legal action to try to enforce the terms of the federal law that would prevent the president from lifting those sanctions, there is time to get a ruling on the merits of that matter."
