Row over India army chief VK Singh's age 'unfortunate'
India's junior defence minister has said the row over the age of the army chief, General VK Singh, was an "unfortunate development".
Pallam Raju said the "unhealthy precedent" did not "augur well either for the defence ministry or the army".
This is the first public reaction from the government since Gen Singh filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court on Monday.
He wants his birthday in official records to be changed to 10 May 1951. They currently say he was born in 1950.
If the date is amended, the general will retire in 2013 and not in 2012 when he is meant to step down.
Gen Singh - a highly decorated soldier who became army chief in March 2010 - argues that the issue relates to his "integrity and honour".
It is the first time a serving chief of the Indian armed forces has petitioned the Supreme Court against the government.
The authorities are trying to find a way out of unprecedented developments.
On Tuesday, Defence Minister AK Antony met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to discuss the row.
The government also asked the Supreme Court not to rule until its views were heard.
Defence Secretary Shashikant Sharma, who was touring Malaysia, was asked to cut short his visit and return to Delhi.
In a petition filed in the court on Monday, Gen Singh submitted 20 documents - 19 of which apparently show his birthday as 10 May 1951, a BBC correspondent in Delhi reports.
Gen Singh said he went to court "after exhausting all statutory options within the defence ministry".
In July, the ministry fixed Gen Singh's date of birth as 10 May 1950 - his complaint against the order was rejected in December.
Opposition parties have criticised the government for its handling of the dispute.

Today is the tenth day that the world, or at a minimum 14 million users plus 6 million Windows Insiders, have had the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 10 since its official launch on 29 July.
I spend a lot of time watching social media for trends around tech subjects. Nothing scientific – I just watch the conversations and they can reveal a lot of info. We have also had a steady stream of comments on the SuperSite for Windows in the past week since the launch plus my email inbox has been peppered with questions about Windows 10 and various issues surrounding individual experiences in getting the new OS up and running. After all of this there are of course the questions that come in directly to my Twitter account.
So based on all of the above I wanted to run down a list of areas that are hot topics relating to Windows 10 as it passes its tenth day of availability.
This is probably the biggest area of discussion about Windows 10 over this past week. It has resulted in a range of stories from pure fear mongering to purposeful looks at what the settings really mean.
I fall somewhere in between myself however, I find the granular level of control that Windows 10 provides by default over the privacy of my data as the most comprehensive I have ever seen in an operating system. Rod went over those settings, all 20 areas worth, this past week to show just how extensive the control is in Windows 10 relating to privacy.
Of course there are consequences in turning some of those settings off when it comes to functionality such as Cortana because she needs to learn some things about you and read your email in order to provide you features such as tracking flights, packages and reading your calendar to recommend when you should leave for an appointment based on traffic.
We asked Microsoft to comment about privacy and Windows 10 and this is what a spokesperson provided us:
"Windows does not collect personal information without your consent. To effectively provide Windows as a service, Microsoft gathers some performance, diagnostic and usage information that helps keep Windows and apps running properly. Microsoft uses this information to identify problems and develop fixes. More information on the Microsoft Services Agreement and Privacy Statement for consumers is available on our blogs.microsoft.com website."
Ultimately the choice is in your hands. Should Microsoft make these choices more obvious for everyday users who upgrade to Windows 10? Absolutely!
They need to do so with a clear explanation of what the information is used for and how it enhances the user experience in the OS. They should also define what limitations that lack of information will result in as well.
Privacy is an area that ambiguity is seen as the enemy and so clarity alongside of control is paramount.
Right now Microsoft seems to have 50% of this equation sorted out with Windows 10.
Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO)
Known as WUDO for short, this is the new feature in Windows 10 that optimizes the delivery of Windows Updates through a form of Peer to Peer sharing. A local cache of updates to Windows and Windows Store apps are stored on your local system and that cache of updates can be delivered to other PCs on your network or other machines running Windows 10 on the Internet to help speed up delivery.
The concern over WUDO is not security related since only downloaded updates are shared. The larger issue with WUDO is bandwidth related. WUDO is activated by default when Windows 10 is installed and it also defaults to sharing updates with PCs on your local network and those on the Internet.
That basically means your Windows 10 system is a Content Distribution Network or CDN for Microsoft updates which uses your bandwidth for delivering those updates to others.
At a minimum the default settings on WUDO should be to only share those updates with other PCs on your own network. Let the user decide about going beyond that.
Microsoft does provide a thorough FAQ about WUDO but if you want to use my bandwidth at least ask first.
Default Web Browser
Another area that got a lot of attention was related to a user's choice of web browser and retaining that choice during an upgrade to Windows 10.
It all began with an open letter from the CEO of Mozilla to Microsoft's CEO and an opus relating to the apparent backwards steps Microsoft was making when it comes to browser choices by the user.
Thanks to a short video from one of our readers and a how to that showed it takes less than 60 seconds and five steps to change default web browsers the claim of it being too hard by the Mozilla CEO was debunked.
The ability of a user to retain their previous browser of choice during the upgrade to Windows 10 is right on the screen as shown in the video – even if they choose to use Express Settings. However, since many skip right over the options in this day and age of rushing to completion Microsoft may need to make it more obvious with an entry like Do you want to keep using XXXXXXXXX browser as your default after the upgrade to Windows 10.
If they miss that then it only takes five steps to change it once the OS is installed.
Activation of upgrades and clean installs
Information about this process was not readily available prior to 29 July and it was only through testing various upgrade scenarios that we finally found the secret sauce of making sure your free Windows 10 upgrade was properly activated.
Upgrading to Windows 10 over top of your eligible Windows 7 or 8.1 system was the way to reach activation and gaining the ability to keep that hardware activated for the lifetime of that device even after a subsequent clean install.
This revelation came in after many decided to use the Windows 10 installation media creation tool from Microsoft, which was released on 29 July, to perform a clean install on their devices and found they would not activate.
Yes, there was an issue with the activation servers in those first couple of days after Windows 10 was released but this subject is unrelated to that.
When users hit this non-activation road block it meant they had to revert back to Windows 7 or 8.1 and then perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 so the OS would activate properly.
Many users wanted Microsoft to simply allow them to enter their product keys from the eligible OS to validate their eligibility for the free upgrade but with the rampant availability of pirated keys out there I imagine Microsoft was looking for the best method to validate that eligibility.
Still – a very labor intensive process to get that free upgrade to Windows 10 activated but it is a $120 value in the long run.
The last area I will cover is the convoluted licensing and usage rights when it comes to the free Windows 10 upgrade.
If you want proof of how important this aspect of Windows 10 is to upgraders, then look no further than our series of Q&A's about the upgrade process here, here and here. There are hundreds of comments and requests for understanding individual upgrade and licensing scenarios.
This is another area that Microsoft could have made great strides in for clarity and understanding but it did not happen.
Many of the questions we have been seeing remain unanswered but I am working with Microsoft to define some of the basic licensing scenarios relating to the free Windows 10 upgrade offer and what end users are able to do with it.
There are other areas of concern when it comes to the Windows 10 upgrade such as the delivery of updates through flighted testing, improperly provisioned apps, upgrades causing Office document issues and the discovery that app updates might very well be mandatory for Windows 10 Home users along with system updates.
Windows 10 is not all bad at this point in its public life either. Numerous users who are thrilled with Windows 10 and are expressing that on social media and in our comments. In my house five systems are upgraded and running Windows 10 with minimal problems that I would describe as hiccups as opposed to serious issues.
Windows 10 is forcing us to change our mindsets about the Windows operating system.
No longer is it a finely polished operating system but a work in progress and with that comes various stages of success and failure when it comes to its operation and day to day use.
Windows 10, when it was released on 29 July, was a starting point. It is prompting a new cadence for Microsoft when it comes to maintaining the OS and it will take the Windows team at Microsoft a while to get used to that process and approach.
I am ready for the ride.
How has your Windows 10 experience been so far?

I wonder how the Mc Clains are doing in their new home out in Connecticut
Our hearts go out to
their families.
A lot of fond memories in remembering them out here dancing.
We do take reservations
On regular dances you may call in or let us know. We do not guarantee a certain table but will try to get you close to the area you like.
We have employees taking reservations all the time & sometimes the table may already be spoken for & we're not aware of it.
Reservations are 1st come 1st serve bases.
Some of our regular dancers have favorite tables
& have let the waitresses know they are coming.
They usually get the same table all the time.
On Special Events (Some events we do NOT take reservations)
There are no regular tables. If you want a table you need to reserve. We need to know you are coming. It is 1st to reserve gets the table. So if you have a favorite it is best to reserve early. (Weeks ahead).
Some special events are reservations only with advanced tickets. The day before or day of
will not get you close to the dance floor.
My dancers reserve early to get the best tables.
We are trying hard to be fair with reservations & we have had some big screw ups & we're sorry it happened. Please be patient we are trying to make it better. We have had some big nights, but we have never ran out of room. So please don't let not having a reservation stop you from coming. We will find you a table.

QUEEN CITY, Mo. —
A local preacher accused of molesting an underage boy over a period of years is now set to go on trial this fall.
George Bradburn, 69, of Queen City, ormerly a pastor at Queen City Christian Church, is scheduled to go on trial on October 12 and 13, 2017, in Knox County Circuit Court in Edina on a change of venue from Schuyler County.
When we first brought you this story a year ago, Bradburn was facing just one count of First-Degree Statutory Sodomy-Deviate Sexual Intercourse with a Person Less than 14 Years Old.
Since that time, 13 more counts of the same charge have been added.
The pastor is accused of engaging in sex acts with the boy starting when the victim was approximately nine years old.
Investigators say Bradburn befriended the boy when the youngster started spending time at the church helping out with various duties, like cleaning.
Authorities said that while they were interviewing Bradburn, the minister admitted to engaging in sexual acts with the victim approximately 50 times over a five-year period.
The pastor told investigators the incidents took place at the Bradburn residence in Queen City.
Bradburn remains in custody in the Adair County Jail.

Parking on Sundays at St Lawrence
We all tend to think of our own needs when behind the wheel of a car!
I know there are different complicated reasons behind each person's choice of parking place.
Can I though please ask, if you are fit and able to walk and not offering a lift to someone with mobility needs, can you please offer a servant ministry and park at some distance from Church and walk the last part?
The Mill have kindly said we can use their car park on Sunday mornings and you are welcome to go for a
drink after Church if the sermon has gone on long enough.
We hope to leave several spaces for those less able to walk.
I would like to keep one space for blue badge holders and be mindful and caring of those who struggle to
reach us in this way.
Young Bellringers
In 1960 two friends from the then Towcester County Modern School (now Sponne) decided they would like to learn to ring the church bells.
They told their friends about it and soon there was quite a group of eager ringers (aged 13 and 14 years old) under the direction of Mr Vic Burt, the Tower Captain.
He lived with his wife in the little cottage at the bottom of the churchyard.
He was the local blacksmith and had his workshop in Brackley Road.
We used to practice on a Thursday evening and then ring the bells before morning and evensong services.
Climbing up the twisted stone steps to the belfry was quite a feat, but stepping down was even worse, especially as we girls were in our Sunday best and of course high heel shoes were the fashion of the day, but fortunately no accidents occurred.
On practice nights in the summer whilst waiting for our turn to ring we used to climb out through a window onto the church roof and sit and survey the scene over Towcester right up to the racecourse (no health and safety then).
There were six bells and they all had to be pulled up before they could be rung properly.
We each got in position on a bell, No.1 being the lightest and No.6 the heaviest.
Holding the 'sally', the red white and blue fluffy part, and the rest of the rope in both hands, Mr Burt on No.1 bell would say, "Look two she's going, she's gone" as he pulled the sally down and let it go up through the hole in the ceiling to the bell, whilst still holding onto the rope.
We would follow in turn and there would be call changes to make different rounds.
You had to be careful you did not lift your foot up when the rope came down as you could easily get it caught under your foot and go back up with it, which we all soon learnt, to some peoples cost.
When it was nearly time for the services to begin we pulled the bells down, being careful not to pull at the same time as not to clash with another bell, tie the rope the correct way and make the perilous journey down to the service.
On New Year's Eve the firemen always held a dance in the Town Hall with a band (no discos then!) which we all went to, and at five to twelve we rushed out to the Church to ring in the New Year.
Happy days!

Hospitality and Welcome
We all love to be made to feel at home when we travel, visit and especially if we move house.
Christians are called to carry on a long tradition of hospitality.
Usually the welcomer is as blessed as the one welcomed.
Jesus' teaching overflows with encouragement for this behaviour, but sadly it isn't always obvious.
We can easily get pre-occupied with our own concerns and forget what it was like ever to be new anywhere ourselves.
It is wonderful to hear reports back when people have felt at home.
At the recent funeral of Joyce Sykes her daughter said how wonderfully welcomed Joyce felt when she returned to church after many years away from it, following the death of her husband, and what a vital part of her last years her faith became again.
There are several opportunities I would like us all to be involved in.
I do invite you to be part of one of the following.

We all go through difficult times when we need a supporting hand.
If you would benefit from food to see you through a crisis period then please remember we are here for you.
If you know of a neighbour, friend or family member who is struggling to make ends meet remind them that we are here to help.

A recent survey of mosses was carried out in Bradden churchyard. Amongst the mosses and lichen found was an example of Leucodon sciuroides, otherwise known as Squirrel Tail Moss.

St Lawrence Churchyard is over 500 years old and provides a rare conservation area for wildlife where the land has been left untouched by chemicals or fertilisers and contains many mature trees, including a yew tree identified as being over 250 years old. Towcester Wildlife Trust and St Lawrence Church have teamed up to improve the churchyard for wildlife and visitors based upon the Wildlife Trust's new 'Churchyards for Wildlife' project. This will include activities such as adding bird boxes, treating diseased and damage trees, planting wildflowers and bushes for birds in carefully selected places, purchasing tools, and creating an annual management plan for grass cutting and site maintenance. The Churchyard is accessible for all, as is the Church, and provides a restful place for spiritual reflection and walking.

Watching boxing and mma as a kid I couldn't rap my head around the fact that someone would want to fight for a living or as a hobby. I had a hard time understanding why individuals would want to put their mind and body through the most vigorous training just to inflict and receive pain upon another individual.
Watching boxing and mma as a kid I couldn't rap my head around the fact that someone would want to fight for a living or as a hobby. I had a hard time understanding why individuals would want to put their mind and body through the most vigorous training just to inflict and receive pain upon another individual.
After paying closer attention I started realizing that these guys weren't just brawling, there was an actual game plan and strategy involved. The more I watched, the more I appreciated the sport. Understanding how to slip a punch and counter, shoot for a takedown or just having the knowledge to know how to protect yourself from a choke is not an easy task because it takes a great deal of timing, precision and technique.
One day at a local gym I was persuaded by a friend to go train at a boxing gym in the area. I quickly realized this is truly the ultimate exercise, because not only do you get in the most amazing shape but you learn how to fight also. After a few months of training, my coach and I decided that I should fight in the NJ golden gloves, understanding that I wasn't prepared because of the lack of experience I decided to go for it anyway.
My first fight I landed a big right hand in the first round which knocked my opponent out and I earned the boxer of the night award for my performance. As the tournament continued I lost a close decision in the semi final round. I continued to train and spar at other boxing gyms for about two years before taking a break to pursue other things.
I began training again but in mixed martial arts under sensei Scott Zapfel who is a 3rd degree black belt and a heavyweight champ for challenge of champions. Sensei zapfel taught me a great deal of the basics which helped me build a good foundation for mma. Furthermore, I moved on and began training with the fight team at their headquarters facility, along side of bellator champion Lyman Good and the ultimate fighter standout Uriah Hall.
Training under their boxing coach Ray Velez, Daniel ''Tiger'' and other great instructors, I became sharper and more advanced. Although I was getting better I realized that my kick boxing was above and beyond my jujitsu so I joined the Marcelo Garcia academy in Manhattan to get a better understanding of the sport. Marcelo Garcia is a 5 time mudials (world) and 4 – time ADCC champion, he is also considered pound for pound one of the greatest in Brazilian jujitsu. His teaching curriculum, style and intense rolling with extremely high level students in his academy dramatically helped my overall ground game and understanding of the sport. At this time my kickboxing and jujitsu was good but I was missing takedowns, which is a big aspect in mma. I know In order to be a complete fighter I needed judo and wrestling experience.
I began working on my takedowns in judo under mahmoud yehia who competed with the Egyptian national judo team and is a 6th degree black belt. I trained gee and no gee judo under Yehia who taught me amazing throws and takedowns. I also train under the expertise of boxing coach Colin Morgan. Colin Morgan trained multiple world champion boxers and continues to train professional boxers who come from all over to prepare for a major fight with him. Morgan and yehia coached me through my first two mma fights which I ended a minute into the first round with two major knock outs.

I recently made a long overdue visit to my hair stylist. For some reason I just couldn't find the time to have my hair cut until I finally became so frustrated with it that I was just about willing to take a pair of scissors to it myself.
I made an appointment to have my hair cut on the first free Saturday I've had in a long time. Even before my hair was dried I could feel the lightness of it. My curls were no longer weighed down or quite so frizzy.
When my stylist mentioned not seeing me in a while and asked how long it had been since I'd been in, I told her it had been too long. I explained how I nearly took scissors and started hacking away at it on my own. She said that as the one who would have had to fix whatever mess I'd made of my hair, I would have been in trouble with her had I done so. Of course, it was all in fun. She's really a delightful and pleasant young woman.
I find it remarkable how much better I felt leaving the salon than when I entered. I wasn't there for color or highlights or to have my hair set for a special function. It was just a regular cut that was late in coming.
If color, highlights, extensions or a basic hair cut makes you feel good, I encourage you to have it done and not put it off. It's a lot cheaper than cosmetic surgery, takes less time than dieting and exercise yet it still makes you feel attractive, or in my case, presentable to the public.

I meant to do this January 1st.... but better late than never! I just didn't want you to think I disappeared. The last post I made was in September and then life went haywire! There were awesome portrait sessions, weddings, bridals, daycares, engagements for about 45 days in a row! Incredible to look back now and know I survived because while I loved it all, I don't know how I did it. BUT I am thankful for each and every person in each and every photograph I took.
I learned a lot of things this past fall, however, primarily that life is short. No, REEEALLLY?! I just have to be reminded occasionally. I realized by taking on more than I should have what I was doing first and foremost to my family. I have never missed my children's ballgames and events and this past fall, I missed every single one of my son's baseball games... it makes me cry to think about what I missed, not one photo. Yes, there will be more games, but no, that season won't come back. My little boy turned 14 in November and whew... another reminder that life is short. And with my family, my mother's dementia is taking her away from us quickly and my mother-in-law's Alzheimer's is doing the same... another reminder that this time won't come back.
I also learned I was affecting my own health and peace of mind... I could not sleep, my brain would not turn off! I think I added a few thousand gray hairs and I doubt I was very much fun to live with (hush, Dave).
And very, very important to me, I realized I was affecting you, my clients. Some of you waited four times as long as you should for proofs which tore me up! I physically and literally had to cut sessions shorter meaning I didn't get those last few great shots I love to get.... I had to do the editing a little faster... I was quite simply not giving each client the personalized attention I normally give, that makes me who I am, and which they deserve, and that broke my heart. I learned my time and the time I give each client is valuable and important. I learned things may have to be different in 2013.
And lastly, I learned there are things that don't feel so hot about being known as the "cheap" photographer. I don't charge what I should, not because I want to undercut the competition - there are SOOOOO many amazing photographers in our area - I'm just a tender heart. And you know you're not charging enough when your own clients look at you as they pay you and say "You're not charging enough!". We all live and learn. But I just pray referrals will be to me, and clients will come to me, because they love my work, my vision, what I do, and not because I'm "cheap".... not something anyone wants to hear when they love what they do.
This year, I resolve to overindulge my clients, my family, and maybe myself once in a while. Yes, I will take on all the work I can, I will ask for work that works well with my life and helps my clients, all because I LOVE what I do, but I will have boundaries that allow me to breathe, turn off my brain, relax with my family more than once a month:), and to devote the personalized attention I treasure for each client and each photograph so they get the end result that they deserve and I complete their work knowing I did my absolute best.
I love you all and have some of the most amazing friends and supporters and family any one human can ask for. God is good... all the time.

So while life hasn't been to extraordinary eventful, there have been a couple of significant events.
The first was Christmas Eve.
For starts, I lost my keys while at the mall. HAHA yes, I did.
After work I decided I wanted some coldstone, i hadn't had it in over 4 months! So, I get my ice cream and then sit down in the food court to enjoy it. All this time I'm busy chatting on the phone to my friend about another event that had happened that day (don't worry we'll get to that story), so I was a bit distracted. I walk around the mall a bit trying to find a new pair of shoes and then I finally head out to my car. I get to my car and realize my keys are no longer in my possesion.
I remembered that I had them when I was pay for my ice cream becuase I had set them on the counter. So, I prayed that I had just left them there. I book it to Coldstone and the 12 year old working tells me that "he didn't think" any keys were left. So, I go over and check where I had sat,but people were already there. I decide to head down to Customer Service in the hopes that maybe someone or mall security had turned them in. No Such Luck. I then think that maybe I had left them in Banana Republic when I was looking at the cologne in there, but once again I struck out. I decided to check at Coldstone again and try to speak to someone competant, but they assured me no one left keys.
I call home and tell them the story, they tell me to double check everywhere and then call them and let them know if I still can't find them.
I decided to try Customer Serivce again and leave my name and number juswt in case someone turns them in. By this point I'm not too freaked out, I just feel stupid and figure I'll have to call home.
So I talk to the people at customer service and they give me their number and I leave mine and decide to try the other store I was at. About 4 mins later I get a call from Customer Service and someone turned them in!! So,I got my keys back.YAY! But yea, that was just part of the excitment for the day.
NOW the other story.
This past summer, I was in the most complicated/awkward relationship ever and was madly in love with the kid, we'll call him "1" because thats what he was. My number 1 for awhile, my first love, one person I talked to about everything etc. etc. We'll things ended awkward/bad and the entire time I was overseas we didn't talk and things were super awkward/not good between us when I got back and so I had finally called it quits on the kid and said I'M DONE!
We'll I randomly get a text from him while I'm at work that says "are you busy?" I instantly freak out. Thinking "why is he texting me? " "What does he want?" Does he want to talk and apologize? Does he want to yell at me because he thinks I started some other rumor he thought I was trying to start. Does he just want to talk about next semester's classes and borrow books for them? WTF did he want!!!?
So, I get off work and text him back and say WHATSUP?
He replies "I know things have been awkward between us since you got back and I don't like not talking to you and I want to bfriends again. but we can't be physical"
I reply " I agree" even though things were 10x worse than just awkward! "but I didn't expect anything physical"
and we go on to talk about this rumor about him I brought up a couple weeks ago. I had brought it up and told him what I heard and when he approached the person who was my source the person denied it and so 1 didn't know who was lying and I'm pretty sure 1 thought I was and so I once again explained to him that I have no reason to lie etc. etc. and asked him to compare relationships between me and him and him and our source. And how 1 had tursted me with a shitload of secrets that I have kept, how I haven't ever lied to him and the list continues. I also told him I wasn't going to beg him to believe me, but to just think about it all.
but bla bla bla. He said how he really wanted to be friends again, that he didn't like not being able to talk to me. etc etc.
And while even just a couple weeks ago I would have lOVED to have heard that and I would have been so excitied and ready to be friends again, this time I was like "okay, whatever."
I ovbiously didn't say that, but it was the thought that was in my head. That no, actually I've dealt with your shit enough and i'm tired of worrying if Im going to piss you off or not and that on top of it all, you don't believe me about this stupid rumor and IM DONE!
It felt good too. Usually, I was so freaking wishy washy on the kid.I hated him one minute and was still madly in love with him the next, but this time I had finally managed to stay solid on how I felt.
But yea, there's ovbiously a whole lot more to the background of this story and one day I'll do my best to tell you the whole story on Drew and 1, but that'll do for right now.
Yesterday was another exciting day. Sorta. Like most of the day was boring, but one special event made the day pretty spectacular.
I got hit on at work. haha.
I was doing my thing, folding clothes etc and I hear this guy say " i know alot of kids from simpson go there" and I hadn't ever seen him or the girl the was with to I was like "you guys go to Simpson?"
and he said he used to but he transferred. So I chit chat with them a bit more about Simpson and how the music and theatre departments own your soul and etc.
So, then I'm folding clothes more and doing my thing once again and he comes up and was like "i don't live in town, but im here for a couple of days. You should give me a call" and gave me his number. I was minorly excitied. He was a cute kid plus I had actually gotten hit on! It was great!
BUT that's a roundup of the last couple of days.
PS-back to 1. I'm starting to wonder if the kid is actually 100% over us. All this time I thought he had been and I was hurt and had finally moved on and now even though he says he wants to be friends and there can't be anything between us, he texted me last night asking if I was in Indianola and then at like 2am saying "whatsup" of course this could totally be him just being conversational, OR it could be more. Who knows!
Have a good one

Just like in sports, in business security as well, your defense is only as strong as the weakest link.
According to our statistics, 87% of corporate computers miss critical security updates. With 85% of vulnerabilities coming from 3rd party software, this poses a significant security risk. One of our product managers, Esa Tornikoski says: "It appears many people don't fully understand that keeping software up-to-date is a critical component of computer and business security".
Java, Microsoft technologies, Adobe Flash Player, Firefox and Open Office are the most commonly missing updates. Over 40% of diagnosed computers missed the Java 6 update 43, just to mention the most common one.
Unpatched computers leave a gap in the defense line wide open for malware attacks. They are an obvious weak link in your defense wall.
The reality of software updates can be challenging. What has been installed? What needs to be updated? Do all the computers have the same versions of the applications? The downloading and installation of necessary software can be huge task. But do you really dare to leave such an obvious gap in your defense line?
However, product manager Mikko Parkkola offers a solution: "Automated updates can save you a lot of time and trouble. F-Secure's Software Updater scans the computer for missing software updates and keeps 3rd party applications patched from vulnerabilities and up to date".
As simple as that – find it, fix it, and automate. No more obvious gaps, no more attacks that could have been easily avoided simply by keeping all software updated.
Cheers, Eija

Knitter Critters
Quiz time!
Stop and look at the photographs and guess how these are made and what they conceal.
Yes, they are all handmade knitted creatures.
But there is something about them...HMMMM.
(keep scrolling for the answer)
They all are covers for this!!!!!!
These are fully functioning measuring tapes. A tug on a tail or paw and the tape is available. My wife is a expert knitter and trades yarns and other goodies for these critters. All handmade by her friends around the world.
To see all the critter images in the gallery click here.
The lighting set up included a main light on camera right, a white reflector to fill in some shadow on the other side and a small flash set up behind and to the left of the subjects to throw a bit of light along the left edge. Not too much but enough to spice it up a little bit.

Welcome to Saint Laurence! Whether you're only here for a short period of time, or whether you're looking to make this your new spiritual home, you are more than welcome!
Despite being here since 1196, Saint Laurence has undergone a massive overhaul since the beginning of the millennium. As soon as Rev Cannon Chris Russell (a.k.a. Rev) became vicar, Saint Lols (genuine nickname) began its mission to see non churched young people come to faith and to build new forms of church with them.
We currently have one all age service from 2pm - 3:30pm every Sunday, with Children's groups for those in primary school. We regularly have refreshments available after the service. Anyone is welcome to arrive early to pitch in with setting up before the service, and we always pray about 15 minutes beforehand, which again, all are invited to come to.
During holiday seasons, service times may change, and details are available from the website and through our Facebook group (saint laurence reading).
On occasion we record podcasts of services or particular events.
On the first Sunday of each month, we have special Sundays where we share lunch before the service. Notice of this is given in our weekly newsletters and during the preceding service. Extra services and activities are held over the Easter and Christmas periods.
On a Sunday we have the use of free parking in the underground car park behind Carluccio's restaurant on Forbury Square. When you drive up to the gate, press the button on the intercom and tell them you are with St Laurence Church.
As the car park has very kindly been offered to us free of charge, we would ask that you don't use this parking for anything other than services.
Youth Work
Because of our mission statement, a lot of what is done here is very youth orientated, including youth groups, schools work, and youth weekends away.
If you are interested in our youth work, do check out the Youth Work notice board, which explains the work and activities we do. If you have any thoughts or want to get involved with any of the youth work please speak with Westy.
We are also very fortunate to have a Youth Counsellor working with us. Her name is Zanelle and you'll find more information on what she is doing on the notice board.
Church Activites
If you are not a young person (or don't own one), we would still love you to come along and get involved with the things we do for adults.
We have a range of Small Groups that meet at homes across Reading every two weeks to share food, thoughts, and reflections on God. If you would like to know more or get involved with any of our small groups, please speak with James Butler.
We also have social get togethers and adult worship spaces on a regular basis, as well as some more ad-hoc activities throughout the year (such as Church Camp and Momentum).
If you would like to learn more about these opportunities, check out our Facebook group and e-Rev.
If you have a particular interest, gift, skill, or enthusiasm to help with anything in our church community or beyond, please do speak with any of the staff.
If you would like to be added to e-Rev, please sign up on the Home Page or contact the Church Office
The Notice Board next to the kitchen is a fountain of useful info, contact details, and dates.
If what you're looking for isn't on there, feel free to grab a member of staff, pick a member of the congregation (none of them bite), or email the Church Office on email@example.com. The office is staffed Mon-Weds.

I've seen many strange things, but few are as eerie as Over the Garden Wall.
Over the Garden Wall is based on the animated short Tome of the Unknown, by Patrick McHale. It is the tale of two brothers, Wirt and Greg, who find themselves lost in a strange forest and are trying to find their way back home. While wandering through the forest, they come upon a talking blue jay, Beatrice. Beatrice also has a problem, and is off to see Adelaide of the Forest to see if she can help her. The boys decide that Adelaide might be able to help them get home and join Beatrice on her journey.
As I said earlier, Over the Garden Wall is strange, but in a good way. It's obviously influenced by dark fairy tales (for example, the strange woodsman and creepy creatures), but is at times as whimsical as The Wind in the Willows (for example, anthropomorphic animals going to school). This strange concoction reminds me a lot of Roald Dahl's children's books, which could go from bright and cheery to unexpectedly dark fairly quickly.
And the dark tone of the story definitely comes across in the animation style and art. The entire show has this sepia look which reminds the audience things are definitely not bright and cheery in this world. And just in case you forgot about the strange things lurking in the shadows, there are plenty of images which are just plain old spooky.
The backgrounds are very also detailed and look like they are straight out of an illustrated children's book.
As great as the over-all look of this show is, the animation itself isn't amazing. The animation is perfectly adequate, but it's just not the kind of show that's going to have these amazing animated set-pieces to make your jaw drop.
The one thing that does really stand out in this show is the sound. Like many shows with horror elements, many of the creepier scenes in the show are defined by the music. These scenes would be absolutely flat if done badly, but thankfully Cartoon Network clearly has some very talented people working on the show. The show also has many other amazingly talented singers, who often catch you off guard when a character breaks into song. And no, this doesn't happen often enough for me to think that it's necessary to classify Over the Garden Wall as a musical.
So if you're a fan of shows like Gravity Falls or Adventure Time, but wanted something with a subtly darker tone, I suggest you check out Over the Garden Wall. You will not be disappointed.

So much passes through the mind and heart in the remembering of a childhood, snap shots of memories in misty shades of sepia. The sensation of cold winds blowing on bare little girl legs, warm sunshine dulling the worry of a morning spelling bee, the sound of trees in full spring bloom, the weight of a tightly held school bag pressing against a small body; these feelings I still hold deep within my physicality.
I take all of these memories and feelings with me to mark my passage through life. Certainly there is much about past experiences that forms a person but the remembering, that's...

After searching all the leather stools, had to plump for the Lush model, not least for it's seat size, as our new kitchen will be used as a day room too. We initially ordered one as a trial as we didn't want to commit to four due to the expense. Delighted to say that the product is superb, and we be ordering another three within the next week in time for the kitchen completion.

A great bar stool
We originally ordered the Riva bar stools, but when we received them they weren't quite what we wanted. We contacted Atlantic Shopping and were called the following day by the owner, Paul, who couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. He assessed our needs and offered several options - we went for the Lush Real Leather Brushed Stool - and despite ithe high price tag, we couldn't be happier with them - quality materials and construction, they really help finish the look we wanted for our newly fitted kitchen. One day after deciding on the Lush stools, the unwanted Riva stools were uplifted free of charge and the replacements delivered on the same day. If there is a downside to the Lush stools, it's that they need assembling, but after doing the first one the other three were quick and easy to put together. For product quality and customer service it's hard to beat Atlantic Shopping.

Real leather kitchen stools
Having thought about the layout of our new kitchen for many months we spent more than originally thought on the fittings,worktops and appliances generally.We were delighted with the resulting new kitchen which included an island unit which we had not had previously.
The next decision was what kitchen seating to have and we have been delighted with the four stools we ordered from Atlantic Shopping.Delivery was much quicker than we had anticipated and the quality of the stools is considerably superior to others that we had considered. They are relatively easy to put together and the instructions are very clear.The stools,including the bases, are substantial and suit a larger than average kitchen.

We bought the Real Leather Brushed stools to complement our newly installed kitchen and breakfast bar. Not only do they complement the kitchen the stools are so good they are in danger of over shadowing it.
They are excellent quality, solidly built, easily assembled,robust and 'drop dead' attractive.
We thought that they were expensive but decided to order anyway but the old adage " you get what you pay for" is certainly true in this case.
Highly recommended as are Atlantic Shopping who kept us informed at every stage through the order and delivery stages albeit that was actually a very short timescale.

When put together, which took no time at all, they are so sturdy, and with them having a square base makes them even safer for children as they will not tip up.

For my birthday this year, I went to my father's house in NJ...he is surrounded by lovely nature and has a great deck, so it was perfect for a relaxed girl's weekend. I gave everyone goodie bags and in them I put:
1. Home made MASH cards (remember that game? Mansion - Apartment - Shack - House? Love it)
2. New Jersey cookies with a little edible heart shaped sprinkle
3. Glow stick bracelets
4. Fear Street book by R.L. Stine. Did anyone read these growing up? I LOVED them when I was in middle school, I thought they were so scary!
5. A mix cd for people to listen to on the way to Jersey
6. Personalized M&Ms that were given to my by a friend...with my picture on them : )
7. Home made fortune tellers
Below you can see some pics of the goodie bags, the goodies, and then...the unfrosted cake. Can you believe I made a heart shaped coconut cake for myself, with fluffy frosting and lovely toasted coconut, and then forgot to take a picture of the final product! Ugh. Oh well. It was my birthday, I can be lazy about taking cake pics if I want to.

Heart attacks are the leading cause of death for people around the world. In the United States, 1.5 million heart attacks happen each year and more than 30 percent of the patients die. Around 50 percent of these deaths happened outside hospitals and sudden death usually affects women.
Now, this is not a way of scaring the life out of you. It is a message that you should be wary of heart attack symptoms because according to the same statistics, women take a longer time to respond to the symptoms. Thus, they are unable to avail of advanced treatments, such as the clot buster that works effectively when given not more than an hour after the onset of chest pain or discomfort.
When you know more about heart attacks, you can respond to them properly. You may even save your own life someday.

Yup, it's the wedding of me and Astra 2 weeks ago! It was Star Wars themed and was prepared in a short amount of time, just about 3 months. It was one hell of a night (in a good way!). We were both fans of stars, sky, and everything in the galaxy, so it was the wedding of our dreams; full of stars, clouds, neon (as in lightsabers), and under the midnight sky. We love love love our wedding so much! 😀
A brief story about us: Me and Astra met around November 2014. Both were Advertising students, Astra was graduated from University of Indonesia, and I was graduated from Limkokwing University Malaysia. We decided to get married just on our second date night. We celebrated our 1 month relationship by getting engaged and decided to have our wedding day set in May 2015. Bintang is more into 'princess-y' while Astra is more into game and movies. We decided that Star Wars would be the best theme that fits both sides; Bintang being the princess and Astra being a Jedi. We have our friends and family involved in this special day, maybe that's why it remained epic for us.
A recap of our wedding was featured on Bridestory too: link here.
The Wedding of Bintang and Astra is, literally, one of a kind. Being lovers of the galaxy and all its beautiful accomplices they decided to have a Star Wars themed wedding. The ceremony was sacred and emotional with bright shades of yellow here and there. The couple even provided guests with sunnies and mini fans to comfort them in the heat.
The reception was a whole other epic story. Bintang and Astra thought through every single detail to fit the theme. From decoration, guest book, bridal stage, even down to food signs that cleverly uses famous quotes from the movie. Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Amidala, Sabe, even the Stormtroopers were attending the wedding. The night ended with a lightsaber performance, a truly awesome wedding it was. Duaritme shares us the epic wedding album all set for you to enjoy. Scroll through and be inspired. –Bridestory.

I just about managed to pull this off before having another real low. Energy was gone by late afternoon, but I had managed to get a stew on of meat and nettles, and started to get more water filtered, boiled, cooled and into me. A quick 30 min break, the first all day, followed by food and a nettle brew and I had my epiphany moment.
I realised I had done it, all the hard work was done. All I had to do now was enjoy the routine as I normally would do on trips that normally involve energy giving noodles, bread, potatos, coffee and chocolate (Oh how I missed this wonderful substance!) only I had to find my food, and water. Something I like to do anyway. Also there was a major craft project to complete with a deadline. I wanted to make up for the bowdrill, so I went balls out for the next 2 and a half days only stopping to sleep.
As I went about my water runs to the bottom of the hill and back, and mooching about locally I improved my wild teas, greens other than nettles such as Plantains and Dandelions, started to gather roots from Thistles & Silverweed. I gathered hazel and beech nuts for a fatty protein boost. My mood improved by the hour. I even gathered a good load of Ribwort plantain seed heads. Dried them out, winnowed, cooked and ground the seeds into a flour. Then made a nice fatty biscuit. I was ticking off projects on a list, moral was improving. Things were looking up. Small achievements meant a lot.
Raw state of plantain seed
Dryed and separated from husk
Ground into flour using the bowdrill hearth board. It had a use after all :)
It took a long time to make though, but it was packed with energy and more digestible than in a raw state.
Ground Ivy for Tea
Thistle. A fibrous chap the thistle be
More firewood, and tinkering with the shelter continued and I started to get the bits together for the bow and arrows.
I decided on a bundle bow, and to try and make two arrows with knapped flint heads, bound with natural products. I was lucky on the first night as I found a kill site of a pigeon ( by a bird of prey I think) so grabbed the feathers and squirrelled them away for fletchings.
I found this old glass bottle side, quite flat too. So went with that as its much easier than flint and I'm only a novice knapper.
Knocked these chaps out during the long night by the fire of night three. Hazel shafts were prepared, dryed, straightened, and hardened over the fire. The heads were attached by the backstrap sinue from venison loin. Shrunk into place by the heat of the fire like rawhide on a cowboys forehead. Wouldn't that be a way to go (said in a mountain man Jake type voice ;) )
Nettle fibres for the fluffy end
Working on the bow the following morning
Da da!
