It's been a few days since my last post, and there's a BIG reason why!
We are BACK in our HOME!
You proabably saw some of the pics on Instagram, of us moving back into our home this past weekend. Yeah, THAT home. The one that was supposed to be foreclosed on. By a crazy turn of events, we were able to get the lights one and move back in. It's honestly been surreal.
We aren't outta the woods yet when it comes to foreclosure (please continue to pray), but we are standing in faith that, even if only for today, we are where we are supposed to be.
One of the greatest parts of being back home is the ability to settle back into my role as "homemaker". Not having a home when you are supposed to be the "keeper of the home" really does a number on the heart. I took many of the mundane tasks for granted, while here.
I couldn't wait to get back in here and start cleaning and making this house a home again. Being busy had kept my mind off of all of the "what ifs". It's helped me to hold on to the truths the Lord has placed on my heart.
With cleaning, I'm incredibly thankful that I didn't have to go out and purchase all new cleaners. I already had my trusty Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Concentrate, and that's all I've needed.
From cleaning mold out of the fridge (gross!), to cleaning the floors, to dusting off pretty much everything-this cleaner has done it all! I've ever used it to clean some of my dishes when we first arrived.
I'm still impressed and I still won't go back to regular cleaners. With just one bottle of Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Concentrate, you can make roughly 48 GALLONS of cleaner! That's no joke.
And I know y'all are wondering "Does it streak?" And the answer is a big fat NO! It makes you think it's going too, then all of a sudden you have a gorgeous sparkling mirror.
Some other great attributes of this cleaner is, unlike vinegar-it doesn't smell! There's a slightly "clean" smell, but I could be imagining it since no one else seems to notice it. It doesn't have any phosphates, dyes, toxins, toxic fumes or chemicals, fragrance, or chlorine. This cleaner also has sustainable sourced corn and coconut ingredients.
It's safe to use around your babies, it safe to use on your produce, and it's safe to use while preggo! No more fume headaches!
Now the price is pretty amazing too. If you're a Shaklee member (it's like a Costco membership), you get the Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Concentrate for around 10 bucks. If you don't have the membership-you get it for around 12. Still a killer deal, since you're looking at almost 48 GALLONS of cleaner for that amount! That's way less than .50 a bottle!
Don't forget to check out some of the other non-toxic household products that Shaklee offers. Laundry detergent, hand soap, Scour Off Paste (a soft scrub alternative that's perfect for glass cooktops!), and much more!
Check out below of the list of 50 items you can use or clean with the Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Concentrate! And trust me-you can Google and finds TONS more!
Want the recipes for all of these solutions down below?
For anyone who purchases a bottle of concentrate from me, I'll send you all the recipes you'll need to clean every inch of your house! Just email me your receipt at: firstname.lastname@example.com!

This instruction describes how cryo vials should be retrieved from the storage boxes using a pick-list created in the LIMS, as well as how to store the vials in delivery boxes.
1. Introduction
This instruction describes how cryo vials should be retrieved from the storage boxes using a pick-list created in the LIMS, as well as how to store the vials in delivery boxes.
2. Reference document
LIMS user guide 0231.
3. Process
If the vials to be collected are CSF-, plasma, or serum samples, the work should be performed on ice.
- Take out the pick-list and a box with 81 positions.
- Label the box with: the name of the study, sample type, WDO-ID, ID of the pick-list, and the box number. The box number is a running number created by the person who is picking out the samples. Label your first box with 1. This will make it easier to go back and search for a specific vial in the future.
- Take out the Storage boxes shown on the pick-list from the freezers.
- Open the LIMS.
- Unstore the boxes using "unstore container flow", see LIMS user guide.
- Pick out the samples from the pick-list to the labelled box using "unstore sample via pick-list flow", see LIMS user guide. Tick off every sample picked from the list with a pen.
- When the box you are picking to is full, label a new one as in 3.2.
- If you are ending the picking before the pick-list is finished, press cancel in the LIMS. Then, a dialogue box will show you how many samples that have been picked out. Check that the number of vials picked is the same amount as on the list.
- When the pick-list is finished a message with "pick-list completed" is shown.
- If all samples have been picked out and the LIMS does not show a message, a sample has been missed. Then, enter "view pick-list" in the LIMS and enter the ID of the pick-list. The unregistered sample will then be shown.
- Return to the storage box and check the expected position. If the vial is not there, check the whole box.
- If the vial is not in the storage box, it has probably been picked without registration in the LIMS. Check the original pick-list to find the right box. Pick the sample as in 3.6.
- Control the retrieval in the checklist. If the samples are not to be processed further, they should be stored in delivery boxes.
- Create an appropriate number of delivery boxes using the "Create container flow" in the LIMS, see LIMS user guide.
- Two labels per delivery box should be printed out; one for the lid and one for the box. Label the box: Delivery box, name of study, sample type, and WDO-ID.
- Store the picked samples in the Delivery box using "Store sample flow" in the LIMS, see user guide.
- Put the Delivery box in the -80°C freezer labelled retrieval freezer.
- Put back the Storage boxes from where the sample were picked using the "Store container flow" in the LIMS, see LIMS user guide.

Feature Details
2x Query Limit
The Geopointe query processor has been improved to allow the size of Geopointe's query results to more than double. Prior to this release, a single Geopointe query was limited to 20,000 records returned. The limit has been increased to allow almost 50,000 records per query result. Of course, you can also always layer on multiple queries to see even more data.^ Return to Feature Summary ^
3x - 4x Query Performance Improvement
We have significantly improved the Geopointe query result processing to operate more efficiently. As a result, we are seeing 3-4x improvements in performance time per query.^ Return to Feature Summary ^
Marker Clustering
Marker Clustering has been added to the visual representation of Data Sets. A cluster specific info window is also being delivered to summarize the contents of the cluster. The ability to toggle clustering on/off is available in the Layer Manager on each Data Set. The numbers within a cluster represent the record count in the cluster.
After the upgrade, each user is defaulted with a Auto Cluster Query Size setting of 2,000 records. This means that, for any query less than 2,000 records, the user will still be defaulted to the pins. They could manually change it to clusters in the Layer Manager.
Each user is able to manage their own Auto Cluster Query Size. Some users might like to have clusters default more often, even for smaller queries. The good news is that users can update this preference for themselves in their personal settings, which are available by clicking the gear icon atop the map.
100 Route Stop Limit
Routing is being given a big boost. We have broken through the Google imposed limit of 25 stops per route request and will now support Routes of up to 100 stops, including optimization!
This new limit is supported in the desktop ("Aloha" & "Lightning") version...
as well as Salesforce1...
New Drawing Controls
The Drawing Controls on the map have been enhanced and made more accessible. When drawing, you now have the option of drawing polygons (same as before) and also circles and squares. Also, the controls to add shapes have been added to the right side of the map along with access to the Geopointe Shape Library we provide.
Shape Folders
We have brought the same type of folder organization that are used in Data Sets to Shapes. This means that a Shape is put into a folder and its permissions are driven by how that folder is configured. Folders are created by Geopointe Admins and can be setup to give a specific users access. Administration of that folder can also be delegated to others, so it's not always on the shoulders of the admin to manage folder contents.
Prior to this release, access to shapes was administered on each shape individually. With the new release, access is solely driven by folder. We have several customers that have sophisticated sharing already setup. As part of the release, we are delivering a migration script and a UI to help move you from the old model to the new. Upon getting the new release, a script will run that will automatically mark all un-shared shapes as Personal to the shape's owner. Those shapes will be put into the shape owner's My Personal Shapes folder. For any other remaining shapes, we are providing a Shape Migration screen to help you manage the transition.
My Direct Reports FilterWhen filtering your Data Sets, the first filter option is a high-level choice of whether you want to report on "My" or "All" data as it pertains to ownership of that data. For all objects, we are introducing an option for "My Direct Reports". This option will make it easy for any user to see records owned by users whose role reports to their role. You can think of this like you might a My Team's filter, but it limits the result to only team members that are in the Role directly below yours, which is very common on sales teams with a Manager-->Rep relationship in the role hierarchy.
All standard (except Accounts) and custom objects will have options similar to the image below...
Because of Account Teams in Salesforce, Accounts provide a few more options (assuming you have Account Teams enabled).
^ Return to Feature Summary ^
KML Export Includes Shapes
When you export a result to a KML file, the shapes you have on your map will also export along with the data.
This map...
exports as the KML below viewable in Google Earth and other map apps...
Update 4/2/18: Unfortunately, due to license restrictions, this feature has been partially deprecated. You can still export KMLs that include mapped search results and hand-drawn polygons, but shape library shape will no longer be included in the exports.
Geocode Correction
Sometimes a map pin gets put into an undesired location. Perhaps you mapped a location for a very large property and you want the map pin in a different place than Google geocoding put it. Well, you can now correct that location in seconds. Or maybe Google is just wrong and you know exactly where something should go.
A "Correct Location" action is now available as a link inside the info window for a record on the map.
When clicked, all other data will hide and that pin is now draggable.
Drag the pin to where you want it and click the Save Location button in the control panel. This will document the new location for that record and bring back the other map data.
This feature requires you to setup custom latitude and longitude fields onto your data object and then refer to those fields on your Map Object in Geopointe Setup. Geopointe has long had a feature that lets you refer to custom lat/lon fields in order to override the location of a record from its geocoded location. This Geocode Correction feature was added to Geopointe to simplify the process for populating those fields right from the map.
Please note that a user will only be allowed to correct the geocode of a record if they have read-write access to the record and read-write access to those fields in Field Level Security.
Heatmap by any Numeric Field
Heatmaps are a very popular feature. They allow you to see the concentration of records in a doppler radar fashion. Prior to this release, heatmaps only showed concentrations by record count. With this new release, you can now choose any numeric field from your data set to have the heatmap rendered by that metric.
For example, instead of seeing accounts by record count...
Maybe you want to see them by a different value you keep in your data. Now you can. When choosing the Heat Map option for the layer in the Layer Manager, you will see options to choose other numeric fields from your Data Set.
Please note that doing this may show gaps in places where you have records. Heatmapping is done on a scale. If your data has no value (null) or a very low value relative to the highest values in your data (e.g. many accounts, but only a few with large revenue numbers), the records with low/no value may not appear in the heat map or be very faint. You can see this below where only a portion of the data has a value in the Assets field. When heat mapping, you have the option to redisplay the markers/clusters atop the heatmap so you can see if those gaps are occurring.
^ Return to Feature Summary ^
Shape Migration Management
(advanced topic)
We are very excited to be moving Shape management to Folders. This is a much more robust solution for organization and security than managing this on a record by record basis. However, whenever you move from one solution to another, you need to help bring people to the new way of doing things. For this, we are delivering things to help.
First, upon installing the new release, a script will run where we'll look at all sharing info on your shapes and, for any that are only shared with the owner of the shape (usually the shape's creator), we'll mark it as a Personal shape and it'll be in that user's My Personal Shapes folder the next time they visit Geopointe. That's pretty straightforward and covers ~90% of the shapes we see out there.
We know that some of our customers have setup specific sharing on shapes that can get complicated and customers would despise having to manually recreate that. For this scenario, we will not touch those shapes in the migration script. They will display below the folders. The sharing you have in place now will work as-is, so users will only see the shapes they have access to now.
In this section, Geopointe Admins will see a link to navigate to the Shape Migration page (available at /apex/geopointe__shapeFolderMigration for you admins out there). This page will, first, make sure the initial migration script successfully ran and then present you with an easy way to create folders and move shapes into those folders while maintaining their sharing settings.
The page will look at the unique groups of sharing rules and allow you to create a folder for each grouping and automatically move the corresponding shapes into the folder you create. This will take into account the groups/roles/users being shared to and whether the sharing is read-only or read-write. We have found that most customers that share shapes are repeating the same sharing rules across every shape. Or, at worst, have 3 or 4 permutations of sharing going on. For these customers, their shapes will be grouped together nicely and the folder creation process should be a breeze.
To create a folder, simpley give it a name and click the Create Folder button. Do this for each grouping.The new folders will get those sharing settings and all the shapes corresponding shapes will be put into that folder. After it's finished, you can see the results on the Map Page and do any cleanup you'd like in the map page.
We hope you enjoy what we have delivered in this release.

France Part Two
Day 2.
Well, after a day like yesterday, we had a bit of a lie in and didn't wake up until 10.00am. I elected to sleep over the cab and Diane slept in the single lower bunk, at the rear of the van near the toilet. I had very little headroom so had to wriggle out of the bunk backwards. Diane found it hilarious saying that I looked (from the rear) like a beached whale. This photo (taken in the grounds of the Louvre Gallery) was a good likeness of me according to Diane. We thought it would be best if we got away from where we were before anyone found out we had been parked there overnight. As we had no idea where we were, it may sound stupid, but we used the position of the sun to work out which way was south and set off in that direction. We soon found a decent layby and after washing and dressing, we had breakfast and after consulting the French places to see book, we ruled out St Omer in favour of Amiens because the house where Jules Verne lived is there and took our fancy.
It was then that we took the momemtous decision to get the Sat Nav out of the glove box and figure out how to use it. I tried to use one some years ago and nearly threw it out of the window. Remembering what Sarah and Charlie had told us, we actually managed to program the address in for the Jules Verne house. After a very nice, quiet drive down to Amiens, the Sat Nav (which we later christened Nigela), directed us right to the side of the Jules Verne House. I was very impressed. We spent a pleasant couple of hours wandering round the house. We found the very top floor fascinating. It was full of the oddball and lots of his weird and wonderful things. After leaving his house, we had a stroll round the town, taking a few photos along the way.
It was getting towards mid afternoon when we decided to move on , so we headed back to our motorhome and got out the camping book to try and find ourselves a campsite for the night. It was then that we discovered the book was all in French. After we stopped laughing, we settled for a site in Chalons en Champagne and worked out the address for it, programmed Nigela accordingly and hit the high road again. It was a joy driving in France on a Sunday, very little traffic and beautiful scenery. Every roundabout was a little work of art in its own right. Diane took more photos of them than anything else I think!! Somewhere between Roye and Soissone, we came into a village/small town called Noyon which was virtually blocked because they seemed to be having a carnival day. There was a small funfair, side shows, stalls etc which were spilling out onto the streets and making it very difficulty to navigate. We were now also looking for a filling station as we were getting low on fuel. We had already passed two that were closed. Maybe because it was Sunday or because of the carnival. Either way, we had a bit of a job finding fuel, but more by good luck than good management, we found a small filling station with just two sets of pumps. The pay kiosk was closed but there was a couple at one on the pumps who seemed to be getting fuel. Once along side the other pump, we tried to 1.) work out which was the diesel pump and 2.) decipher the credit card machine which was obviously in French. Diane was an absolute gem, she tried to communicate with them and actually managed to make them understand that we needed diesel. I don't know how, but between the two women, they worked out which nozzle to use. They then tried to explain to us how to pay by credit card. I put my Cash Card in but it refused my pin number. I tried again without success. I finally got one of my credit cards to work. What a panic. We would have been in a lot of trouble if it hadn't been for all the help of two strangers.
Anyway, we must get on to our camp site for the night. Nigela (Sat Nav) was doing a great job again. We followed her directions exactly as she said them. It was now getting towards 9.30 at night and was dark as we were entering Chalon en Champagne. Still having complete faith in Nigela, we drove through the town before being told that we had reached our destination. We couldn't understand it, we were in the very centre of the town. We were right outside the Tourist Information Centre. Now what? 9.30 at night, pitch black outside, cold, tired and very hungry. We were starting to get angry with each other as to what to do. In the end, I said we should make our way back onto the main road, head south and try to find a site along there. After what seemed an eternity, and finding no sites along the way, we decided to call it a day and find the nearest lay-by to park for the night. We did find one that was a the side of a large field with a large hedge that we felt would hide us from the passing traffic. This was it, another night of being illegal with no fresh water or mains electrics. It was worse than last night because we felt we were trespassing. Surely, it can only get better.

Blog Post
Understanding the CAP Theorem
A distributed system (generally running in a datacenter) consists of some large number of servers (nodes) running very similar code, sharing data and talking to each other. Compared to a non-distributed system (everything happening on just one computer), distributed systems have the potential to handle much heavier workloads and to continue to perform well in spite of individual nodes going down.
When building a distributed system, there are three things that you'll generally want:
- Consistency (all nodes have access to the same data simultaneously)
- Availability (a promise that every request receives a response, at minimum whether the request succeeded or failed)
- Partition tolerance (the system will continue to work even if some arbitrary node goes offline or can't communicate)
Weird things can happen if these properties aren't there.
If Consistency is violated, then you'll get the case where one user will get a different answer from another: if user A makes a request and it gets routed to node X, and user B makes a request and it gets routed to node Y, and X and Y have different data, A and B will get different answers. Not ideal!
If Availability is violated, it means that any node might go down at any time, and that a request made to that node might just never return a response. Alternatively, if a sibling node had just been updated, it would mean that a node would refuse to respond to requests until itself was updated to reflect the most recent state.
If Partition tolerance is violated, it means that a single node going down could take even more nodes down with it, and that a failure in one part of the system could spread.
Clearly, we would like to respect all three of these properties. But in the late '90's, computer scientist Eric Brewer formulated a theorem, known as the "CAP Theorem" (CAP for Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance), where he showed that any distributed system can have two, but never three, of the CAP properties.
To understand this dynamic, we can imagine the following setup, involving two nodes far away from each other, and not communicating directly (partition-tolerant):
- Scenario 1: One node is updated. Immediately, the two nodes are inconsistent until the second node is updated. This respects the Availability principle, but violates Consistency.
- Scenario 2: One node is updated. The other node acts as though it is unavailable (while it updates). This respects the Consistency principle, but violates Availability.
- Scenario 3: The two nodes are now allowed to communicate, so that updates to one can be sent to the other. This allows for both Consistency and Availability, but makes the system vulnerable to partitions (where a failure of the network would change the behavior of the system).
In Brewer's own words, "The general belief is that for wide-area systems, designers cannot forfeit P and therefore have a difficult choice between C and A." In other words, it is a requirement that systems be partition-tolerant — they must be able to continue to function correctly even if some nodes become unavailable. System designers must then decide how to balance the trade-off between consistency and availability, choosing to prioritize consistency in some settings, availability in others. Brewer goes on to point out that "all three properties are more continuous than binary. Availability is obviously continuous from 0 to 100 percent, but there are also many levels of consistency, and even partitions have nuances, including disagreement within the system about whether a partition exists."
It's important to realize that the CAP tradeoff isn't a binary 0-1 for each property for a whole system, but rather a general framework for understanding design decisions. Different choices can be made for different parts of the system, and can change over time in response to changing usage patterns.
When working with distributed systems, it is important to understand the limits of such systems. Having everyone on the same page and with the same knowledge will be a great asset to technical teams, helping all parties work together.

The Rev. William J. Campbell, who was among the pioneers working to establish new African-American churches in South Florida, died Monday. He was 81.
The Rev. Campbell was active in the Tennessee Baptist Convention for much of his life but spent the past 24 years in Fort Lauderdale, where he worked on starting new churches in South Florida. He founded Lauderdale Manor Baptist Church and served as its minister until he retired. He then became an associate minister at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale.
"He was a kind and gentle soul," said Dorsey Miller, a member of Mount Olive Baptist Church. "He had a pious spirit. He ministered to the sick, and we have a huge sick population. It took a lot of burden off the pastor."
When the Rev. Campbell became ill, members of the congregation ministered to him.
"We painted his house about two years ago," Deacon George Morgan said Sunday. "And we put in central air conditioning."
Morgan and Deacon Henry Lumpkins said the Rev. Campbell's strengths at Mount Olive were delivering powerful sermons and explaining the Bible's teachings.
He also worked to get Meals on Wheels to people in need and volunteered as a foster grandparent for the community's youth.
"He was like one of God's angels," Lumpkins said.
The Rev. Campbell was born Sept. 15, 1924, in Delaware, Ohio, to Clarence H. Campbell and Mae Greer Campbell. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was honorably discharged in 1946.
He married Lucile M. Goodwin in 1951, and they were married almost 50 years, said his grandson, Michael Goodwin, of Columbus, Ohio.
The Rev. Campbell attended Ohio Wesleyan University, but eventually moved to Tennessee, where he dabbled in music and photography. He later received a bachelor's degree from Tennessee State University.

It may seem a parochial concern, but the comments on the Revised Common Lectionary post last week have been very intriguing. I've been pleasantly surprised by the comments of two members of the Consultation on Common Texts, especially. That's the ecumenical group that puts together the RCL.
Their comments have been enlightening, but they've failed to address what several other commenters and I have: The redacted portions of the Bible do not seem to be just for the sake of readability. They seem oftentimes to have a theological agenda behind them.
Why, for instance, is the first chapter of Job excluded? asks commenter Alan K. Or why are verses of Psalms that speak of taking vengeance on enemies or bashing babies heads against rock edited out?
So, I'm asking Andrea and Taylor, and anyone else from the CCT, to explain the theology behind these decisions…

Okay, so I guess that doesn't exactly merit "breaking news" but I'm pretty excited about it. Also not meriting breaking news: I'M ON RAVELRY!!! Finally! I've been pining to join that site for years but never had a reason to make an account until now.
Wanna see my kitting progress? Don't laugh!! …okay you can laugh. It's pretty hilarious actually. (Please excuse the poor quality phone photos to follow…)
I'm working through the Knit Lab class on Craftsy, and it IS actually teaching me how to knit! It was pretty frustrating for me at first since I've never even held a pair of knitting needles in my life, so I had to pause and rewind the video a million times before I could actually link a second row after my cast on stitches… BUT I'm finally getting it! You can see my first little square attempt in the photo above. I started the class 2 nights ago and ended up knitting until 2am because I didn't want to forget what I was learning!
This is my first ever bind off attempt. It took me a few stitches to get it right haha!
This is my second, much bigger square attempt. Ignore the accidental dropped stitches and terrible tension. I told you it's hilarious!
Lucille MUCH prefers knitting to sewing! She can't sit in my lap when I'm sewing 😉
So far I'm really loving the Knit Lab class, but I'm definitely not ready to work through that scarf project yet. It's a really cute scarf though, so I'll definitely get back to it when I get a little better with my tension and stitches. In the meantime, I'm attempting the It's A Cinch Headband pattern by Elisa McLaughlin on Ravelry since it's a free pattern and it only involves the skills I know. Hopefully it will be a success!
Fear not fellow sewists! I have not abandoned my favorite crafty trade! In fact, I recently finished the 1940's New England Dress (all except the bottom hem) and plan to share photos after the holiday.
I hope everyone has a very merry holiday season and happy new year!

Pawtucket's Winter Wonderland In Slater Park
Pawtucket's 19th Annual Winter Wonderland will kick off December 2rd 2017 at 3:45 PM. Santa's Parade beginning at Daggett Farms and proceeding down the hill to the Historical Looff Carousal. This year parade will include the Tolman High School Band, Brownie troop 923, Slateretts Softball team & dancers from Dance Attitude in Pawtucket. Our Grand Marshall is Rhode Island Monthly's Best News Anchor of the Year, WJAR's Mario Hilario.
Santa will be welcomed at the Carousal by the Wonderland elves along with Pawtucket Major Donald Grebien, Mrs. Claus, Winter Wonderland President Bob Machowski & Vice-President Dawn P. Goff, and Rhode Island Monthly's Weather Woman of the Year and Wonderlands Official Meteorologist, WJAR's Kelly Bates. At 4:00 PM the group will begin the ceremony that will illuminate the 500 decorated trees, 20 Victorian Houses, light displays and multiple decorations that make up the festival.
The festival is held in Historical Slater Park on Armistice Blvd in Pawtucket RI on the weekends of December 2 & 3 and December 9 & 10 from 4PM to 8Pm. Starting at 4:30 each night there is a heated entertainment tent filled with performers from local school groups, dance studios, and choral groups.
There are free visits with Santa. For a small fee, optional photos with Santa will be taken. There will be Hay Rides, Train rides, Face painting, Children's craft tables, and 25 cent rides on the historical Looff Carousal. Beside the decorated Christmas Trees there are 20 Victorian houses sponsored by local organization and business and an 18-foot-tall talking Snowman to enjoy. Stroll through the Night Before Christmas Story Lane. Become a Gingerbread Man or Woman, or a Snowman at our Life size cutout.
The food court will have hot dogs and hot Chocolate for sale. The Historical Daggett house will be decorated for the season and open for tours and paintings will be on display and for sale at Rhode Island Water Color Society art gallery.
The Winter Wonderland festival is a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers in conjunction with the City of Pawtucket. Our goal is to have a winter event that the whole family can enjoy, at little or no cost. Admission to the park is free with free parking in designated areas only.
The festival is held only on the first two weeks but the light displays are illuminated every night until January 1st 2017 for viewing.

Russia announced Friday it was negotiating with the Syrian opposition and seeking a nationwide ceasefire, as the evacuation of civilians and fighters from the last rebel-held parts of Aleppo entered a second day. President Vladimir Putin's intervention came as Russian drones and troops supervised the hard-won evacuation deal following a Western outcry over the Syrian army's operation to recapture the city. "The next step (after Aleppo) will be to reach agreement on a complete ceasefire across all of Syria," Putin said on the sidelines of a visit to Japan.

Killer debut by The Starjays featuring lots of "old school". Led by Roy Kay (the Roy Kay Trio\Combo, the Margraves) and Angela Tini (Angelatini and the Trebblemakers) and featuring tons of talent. The Starjays are revealed as a hot combo that plays rhythm'n'blues and rock'n'roll (and I mean real Rock'n'roll) with, for a song or two, a slight 60's feel. All songs but two are originals penned by Kay and Tini. It's very well produced, recorded, sung and played, with each solist having plenty of room to express himself. "Bang! It's The Starjays" is tremendous and a five star release all the way!

The group's convenience arm, which makes products such as salads for retailers including Marks & Spencer, posted a 9.1 per cent jump in like-for-like sales for the 13 weeks to 27 December.
This helped boost overall sales by 7.2 per cent on last year to £320.5m.
Supermarkets have been competing to open more smaller shops to cash in on consumers' changing shopping habits.
Convenience chain McColl's also hopes to cash in on the trend after revealing plans to float this week.

Mistress Alina wanted her slave to do something for her but he came late and found she had already done it herself. She punished him for not heeding her call early enough. Because she did not want him to do it again, she made the punishment cruel. She made him eat hr shit directly from her ass before she forgave him and let him go. She knew he had learned his lesson.
When this guy made fun of goddess Andreea's fat ass, he did not know she would use that same ass to punish him. She laughed and tried to act like it did not bother her but she was buying time till she had him where she wanted. She turned him into her human toilet and enjoyed shitting on him and having him shit eating. She also had him drink her pee.
Miss Cherie is a mistress who hates guys who brag. When this guy bragged about how much he had and all the bitches he screwed, he thought it would impress her. He tried to use money to sleep with her thinking she was one of the bitches. She felt insulted and she had to punish him. She tortured him in a way he had never been tortured before by turning him into a human toilet and shitting on his face and into his mouth and making him eat the shit.
Goddess Amirha had covered her co-worker when he had failed to report to work. But when she asked him to do the same to her when she needed to go and attend to some urgent matters, he did not and in fact reported her to their superiors. She was given a warning and after that, she hunted for the co-worker and she degraded him and taught him a lesson by making him eat her shit.

On the final night of Stockholm Pride a few months ago, a performer took to the stage that I'd never heard of before. A queer electro-pop hunk named Adam Tyler. The first thought I had was "wow, he is soooo hot!" followed by "this music is really good." He actually did a few covers of Swedish hits including Eric Saade's "Popular" (Eric being seemingly too "hip" to attend a Gay Pride event!).
Anyway, Adam did a few numbers and I was captivated. He has just released his first album "Shattered Ice" and I had to order it immediately. You can download it via iTunes, Amazon etc. but you can also order the physical CD from Adam's own website: http://shop.adamtylershop.com/ I ordered two of the CDs and they arrived with autographed postcards – a very nice surprise.
Adam does electro-pop. It is hard to believe that any good pop music could still eminate from that wasteland of r&b/hiop-hop/rap, the United States of America but Adam is the exception to the rule. He IS pop to the core. His musical tastes lean towards UK and European artists and he's much more of an internationalist than most other Americans.
This clip is a video of a song from his album. It's called "I Won't Let You Go" and it's great…check it out…
The single he is promoting at the moment is called "Like A Drug" and it's a sexy piece of pure electro-pop. There's a video that's been compiled of Adam performing it at Stockholm Pride (with the studio version overdubbed). It is taken from all different amateur cameras and it's pretty well done. Check it out here…
Adam is also on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/adamtylerfans
I recommend you give Adam Tyler a listen and, if like me, he's your sort of thing, buy the album – either by paying for the download or ordering the CD. Do the right thing by this amazing new artist. There's not much real pop coming out of countries like America so we've got to encourage artists like Adam Tyler.

TuxLoL / Home
Since Wine is not able to handle mipmaps from textures smaller than one block, TuxLoL is intented to patch these files from League of Legends to make the game run.
Make sure you have Mono 2.10.X installed on your system.
You don't need to patch Wine with '0001-HACK-Disallow-block-based-textures-with-sub-block-si.patch' anymore. Otherwise, Issue
#1will occur.
Download the latest TuxLoL binaries from this page. You don't need to compile it on your own.
Run the following commands from the application folder. Make sure the game client is not running. The air client can be left open.
Apply patches
$ mono tuxlol.exe patch --dir "/home/USER/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Riot Games/League of Legends"
This command will apply the patches and create a backup of the changed archives. If you don't want backup your files, you can disable the creation of backups:
$ mono tuxlol.exe patch --dir "/home/USER/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Riot Games/League of Legends" --no-backup
Revert the patches
You can revert the patches with:
$ mono tuxlol.exe restore --dir "/home/USER/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Riot Games/League of Legends"
Keep in mind that you have to apply this patch after every single League of Legends patch!
How it works
TuxLoL scans the League of Legends data files for DDS textures with mipmaps and removes them. That's why, the tool is able to detect changes made to League of Legends automatically.

Have fun!

There may be some common misconceptions about Alaska driving, so let's clear things up.
Alaska has a lot to offer throughout the year and it all starts in Anchorage. Begin your sightseeing escapade right by the airport at the Alaska Aviation Museum. In fact, Anchorage has all sorts of museums. Take your Budget© rental car around town and you'll see geological, historical, and scientific exhibits that'll jog yours and your family's curiosities.
Anchorage has the local pride you'd expect from the largest city of the Last Frontier Sate. As a port town, you can also expect some of the best locally sourced seafood. Park your rental car out in front of Glacier Brewhouse and go on in for some of the tastiest seafood & BBQ Anchorage has to offer. They also have a great selection of local craft beers that you can't get anywhere else.
We might have to bite the bullet on this one; there's no other form of transportation that offers breath-taking views of the great state of Alaska like a privately chartered airplane. But we can get you there! It's only a 20 minute drive to Merrill Field Airport from our Anchorage International Airport Budget© Rent A Car location. Get a bird's-eye-view of the Anchorage area and see what it's like to look down on Denali's 20,310 ft. peak, the tallest mountain in North America. There's remarkable scenery in every direction.
There's a lot to see and a lot to do in Alaska. We hope your stay in Anchorage is enjoyable. We love Anchorage and we hope your rental car experience from Budget© Rent A Car helps you make the most of your stay.

2016 GMC Canyon
Along wilt its cousin Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon represents compact pickup line-up of General Motors. These two models came in 2004 as a replacement for Chevrolet S-10 and GMC Sonoma and so far, we have seen two generations of these pickups. Current generation of GMC Canyon was launched in 2012 and this year comes with some refreshments. When it is about 2016 GMC Canyon, it will probably come with same characteristics as this-year refreshed model, but some additional novelties are also expected.
2016 GMC Canyon redesign
While mechanical parts of this pickup are almost identical to Colorado, both models have its own visual appearance. The 2016 GMC Canyon will feature this new refreshed look. The main part of the car that suffers changes is front end. It will get new, Sierra-like look, which features new LED headlights and massive three-bar grille. All in all, new look will be more aggressive and attractive, in order to keep this model fresh until new generation come. When it is about interior, some improvements are also expected. Current model comes with some new features like 4G LTE cellular connectivity, GMC IntelliLink, voice recognition, rearview camera, forward-collision alert, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control, but it is expected that 2016 Canyon will come with some additional improvements.
2016 GMC Canyon engine
The 2016 Canyon will have three engines in offer. The base model will use 2.5 liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which has an output of 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. Second, also petrol variant will be with 3.6 liter LFX V6 engine with 305 horses and 269 lb-ft of torque. This model will be also offered with diesel engine. It is a 2.8 liter Duramax turbodiesel engine, which will be available from 2015 year model and which will be the first diesel engine in this class in the U.S. market. This engine produces 200 horses and 325 lb-ft of max torque. The 2016 GMC Canyon will be available both with 6-speed automatic and 6-speed manual gearbox.
2016 GMC Canyon release date and price
The 2016 GMC Canyon is expected to come in late 2015 with the similar price as 2015 year model.

Home Values
A key component to refinancing your existing mortgage is your home's value. The new mortgage terms will be based at least in part on how much you are borrowing based on the appraised value of your home. This lingo is referred to as your Loan to Value or LTV in the lending universe.
Some clients that qualify for a refinance that fits their needs are not able to move forward due to the value of their home not meeting the loan requirements. With the problems in the housing market over the last several years many home values have dropped, and so many clients have a hard time knowing what their house is truly worth. The market value of your home is going to be determined in the loan process by a local appraiser who checks the local market place for homes that have recently sold in your area that are close in age, size, characteristics, etc to your home. Appraisers typically charge anywhere between $300 to $475. However, don't let this keep you from inquiring about a refinance.
There are a couple simple ways to get a great idea of what your home's current value should be before you have to pay for an appraisal.
Here are three options that are completely FREE.
- Contact the Realtor that sold you the house
Generally, Realtors will be one of the best resources for determining your home's value if you were to put it on the market today. If the Realtor that sold the house is no longer in the business or you did not use a Realtor to purchase, we recommend selecting one that has a long tenure in the business in your area. Most Realtors will provide you with information at no charge as they understand this is good for long term business.
- Go to www.Zillow.com
This website tracks all sorts of Real Estate Data. It will help you determine what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for and what yours might be worth. There are tons of tools on the site that are very useful.
- Check your local courthouse
Look-up sales in your area for the past 6 months (or 12 months if you live in a more rural area). This will give you a good idea of what the market has been over the past few months in your neighborhood (within a 1 mile, unless rural then go to 5 miles). This does require some legwork on your end but many clients are saving $4,000 a year when refinancing to lower rates so a few hours at the courthouse may be well worth it!

Who Could Use a Snap-On Smile?
Often, cosmetic dental procedures are only available to people with good insurance or a healthy bank account. Teeth whitening, straightening and replacing is reserved for people who have the means and the time necessary for such procedures. Unfortunately, this situation overlooks a large segment of the population who could also benefit from cosmetic dentistry. One product that seeks to fill this gap is known as the Snap-on Smile. Of all the options available for people to rectify an unattractive or misaligned smile, this one is perhaps the simplest and least expensive of all.
What is a Snap-On Smile?
First, it's a good idea to understand just what the term Snap-On Smile means. As its name suggests, this dental appliance is a thin resin apparatus that fits over one's original teeth and looks like straight, healthy, adult teeth. While the resin is pliable, it is also durable. According to the manufacturer, if proper care is taken, the Snap-On Smile will last up to three years and remain fully usable. It can be worn all the time, even while eating, and only needs to be removed while one is sleeping. Each appliance is custom-made to fit the wearer's mouth and the cost averages about $1500 a set.
Inventor Discusses Product on CNN
Care and Maintenance
The Snap-On Smile is one of the easiest dental appliances to care for, and it can be cleaned by daily brushing with a soft bristle brush. Due to the bendable nature of the thin resin, it's important not to overstretch or warp the appliance by being too forceful with it. While it is easy to insert and remove, a gentle rocking motion should be used if it feels too tight to gently extract.
As with any alternative to expensive medical therapies, the Snap-On Smile is not without its drawbacks. Certainly, this solution is less permanent than just about any other dental procedure. One needs to be careful when eating to avoid hard foods that can crack the resin, or extreme heat that can melt or warp the shape. Some people have been disappointed that the Snap-On Smile did not look as natural as they had hoped. Upon close inspection, it is possible to discern that these teeth are not genuine. Also, certain issues and problems in the mouth like decay or missing teeth can render a person ineligible to wear the Snap-On Smile.
When faced with making a decision that affects not only one's appearance, but also one's health and financial well-being, it's good to know all of the options available. While the Snap-On Smile may work as a good interim solution for some, it could also be a fine alternative for someone who dislikes his original teeth and cannot afford a more permanent treatment like dental veneers. While the reviews thus far have been mixed, it's an idea that appeals to those low on cash or patience, and its implementation will likely continue to improve as time goes on.

They're back. Rationing, death panels, socialism, all those nasty old words that helped bring Republicans victory in 2010, and that came to seem so impolite after November of that year. They're back because of IPAB. Remember that acronym. It stand for The Independent Payment Advisory Board. IPAB is the real death panel, the true seat of rationing, and the royal road to health-care socialism. President Obama won't admit to any of that, but his speech in response to Paul Ryan's plan did push IPAB out of the shadows and into public view, however briefly. If Republicans don't seize the IPAB issue and run with it, they'll be losers in 2012. Policy wonks and political junkies may know a bit about this health-care rationing panel, but most Americans have barely heard of it. That has got to change. And the only way to expose and explain the dangers of IPAB is to tell the truth about Barack Obama.
In his speech on the deficit, Obama pointed to IPAB as an answer to Paul Ryan's plan. In Ryan's vision, competition among insurers will force efficiencies and lower prices. Under Obama's plan, in contrast, health-care prices for the elderly would be controlled by IPAB. Ryan's plan puts consumers in the driver's seat, but also exposes them to the risk of bad choices and limited subsidies. While Obama's plan offers government-guaranteed care, IPAB's price controls will lead to one-size-fits-all rationing. As IPAB caps Medicare payments for various services, the elderly will be unable to obtain many kinds of care, or will experience de facto rationing via long treatment delays and sharp declines in the quality of care. And by the way, IPAB rationing will hit many current seniors, whereas Ryan's reform of Medicare will never affect anyone now 55 or older…Read more here:IPAB

Cape Cod National Seashore
Chesirae standing in front of Yellowstone Falls
Below the upper falls, the river rushes towards the next drop
Yes, we three made the climb down to the upper falls. At an elevation of 7,500 feet, Chesirae and I puffed on the way back up, but Debbie struggled not at all
In actuality, Chesirae took more of these photos than I, though I am not in many. What can I say, I'm camera shy.
Part of Mammoth Hot Springs, Minerva Terrace is one of the most spectacular sights in the park. Mammoth deserves a dozen photos on it own, but I settled on only a few.
Lots of bison in the park; saw other wildlife as well but a large number of bison
This pool was one of the most beautiful. Again, for every picture I've posted, we have a dozen that are almost as beaultiful
We couldn't stay there, but look forward to another visit when we can. A magnificent and enormous wooden structure
Another hots springs, another sight that defies words
Cave and Basin National Historic site
I asked the tour guide, why the Union Jack was flying? He explained that the flag designates the time period the historical site was created and what flag was in place at that point in history.

I think it is a perfect spot to sit and read {mags, books, or blogs} during summer days that are too hot to be out, but when you are still craving the sunshine! Not to mention there is a bubble chair - I have wanted one forever! Don't you l-o-v-e this little spot?
Inspiration - Little Nook
For today's hit of pretty inspiration I have chosen this little nook...

Love this reading nook, love the chair too! My girlfriend wanted one for her daughter's room but there was much to consider for wall reinforcement.ReplyDelete

Zeenews Bureau
Paris: Police say a fire has caused serious damages at the headquarters of a satiric French newspaper that "invited" the Prophet Muhammad as a guest editor this week.
A police official said the fire broke out overnight on Tuesday at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, and the cause remains unclear. No injuries were reported. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation into the fire is under way.
"The building is still standing. The problem is there`s nothing left inside," Stephane Charbonnier, editor of the weekly Charlie Hebdo said.
Newspaper employees said they had received many threats as a result of the issue, subtitled "Sharia Hebdo", in reference to Islamic law.
The weekly magazine's latest edition will be full of jokes about Islamic revolutionaries, with the slogan on the front page saying '100 lashes if you don't die of laughter'.
According to the Daily Mail, the page contains a depiction of Mohammed wearing a red nose, and the words, 'Yes, Islam is compatible with humour.'
The special edition also features an editorial 'by the Prophet' about Halal drinks, and there are features on 'soft Sharia', as well as a women's section called 'Sharia Madame'.
Ahmed Dabi, a leading French Muslim rights campaigner, said the magazine is deliberately trying to provoke anger and unhappiness against Muslims.
"People will read it and come away with a very negative opinion of a worldwide religion. If a similar magazine was produced about Christianity, then Christians would rightly complain," Dabi said.
A spokesman for the magazine, however, had said the magazine is not provocative at all.
"We don't feel like we are being provocative. 'We just see it as doing our job as usual. The only difference this week is that the Prophet is on the cover, and it's rare for him to be on the cover," the spokesman said.
The cover of the magazine is already circulating on social media sites like Twitter.
Many Muslims find it offensive that any magazine or newspaper should feature Prophet`s image.
A similar incident in 2005 had caused much furore among Muslims when a cartoon of Prophet Mohammed was printed in a Danish newspaper. Fifty people had died in the protests.

Enquiry desk working group
I have been asked to join a working group to look at the kind of enquiry service the Library will provide following the remodelling. There will be large changes to service due to the developments in the building. For example, the new lay-out of the first floor will allow for more student space and for the accommodation of the short loan collection (currently on the 2nd floor), so the provision of just one desk for issues and enquiries will be required, rather than the 2 desks, and separate services, we currently have. Also staffing will change, for example, Academic Support staff, who currently are rotaed on to the main enquiry desk will be involved in the running and development of the Teaching Grid (which will be a new library provision following the remodel) so they may not have the same amount of time available to devote to the desk.
The group is made up of a cross-section of the existing Enquiry Desk team along with 2 members of the LMG.
Today was the first meeting of the group and there was much discussion of the basic building layout and the high level management decisions that have already been made. Now the group is required to fill in the detail of how the service will run, which staff will do what and what training and preparation will be required.
Next meeting planned for 31st May.
Follow-up entries will be added.

If you'd like to earn rewards on your substantial credit card spending but don't expect to need frequent flyer points because you never fly at your own expense, then the ANZ Rewards Black Credit Card may be just what you're looking for. While frequent flyer points are almost always far better value than ordinary rewards points, they're worthless if you can't use them. This rewards card is packed with other benefits too, including first-purchase bonus points and cashback.
Lower annual fee than the corresponding frequent flyer card
The $375 p.a. annual fee (plus $65 p.a. per additional cardholder) is lower than the charge for the ANZ Black Frequent Flyer Card (probably in recognition of the lower value of rewards points compared with frequent flyer points) but it's still reasonably steep. You can recoup the cost, however, if you take full advantage of the extras, especially in the first year. You'll need a minimum income of $75,000 to qualify for the card.
Unattractive interest rates
The purchase interest rate on unpaid balances is a high 18.79% p.a. (20.99% p.a. for cash advances), but holders of black credit cards will mostly plan to avoid interest charges by paying off their account balance in full every month.
First year extras
There are two major bonuses on offer, in the first year only.
One, you'll get 75,000 points if you make at least one purchase, no matter how small the amount, in the first three months. This is a target much easier to achieve than the $3,000 or even $5,000 required spending set by some competing cards, before bonus points can be earned.
Two, you'll also get $100 cashback for making that same single purchase, effectively reducing the annual fee to $275 in the first year.
Attractive points earning rate
Since this is a Visa card, not an Amex card, you'd be forgiven for assuming that the points earning rate was modest. However, whilst it's not spectacular, it is certainly appealing, at 2.0 points per dollar up to a threshold of $5,000 per monthly statement period.
Beyond $5,000 it does fall somewhat dramatically to only 1 pt per $1 spent, but there's no absolute cap, no zero points drawback if you can pull off a major purchase on your credit card. Every eligible purchase, no matter how large, will earn points.
Bonus points mall
You can give your points balance a quick boost of up to 10 points per dollar spent at ANZ Rewards bonus points partners. Stores include David Jones, Marcs, Country Road, Dan Murphy's online, Apple.com and many more.
Using the rewards points
As the card's name implies, you'll be collecting points for the in-house rewards scheme, ANZ Rewards. There are five ways to redeem them.
It's worth taking a look at each of these redemption methods in more detail.
ANZ Rewards offers a range of products that you might find at a typical department store, plus a variety of experiences and services. You could, for example, purchase a Delonghi Nespresso Inissia Coffe Machine in exchange for 50,280 points (the result of a $25,140 spend if the monthly threshold is not exceeded). Or you could buy it on eBay for $123, making the value of the points 0.5 cents per dollar spent.
You can exchange your points for gift cards to spend at major retailers, or on car hire and hotels, or even use as charity donations. A $20 Woolworths or Myer gift card will cost you 4,445 points, resulting from $2,223 worth of below-the-threshold purchases, an equivalent value of 0.9 cents per dollar spent.
A Sydney/Melbourne one-way economy flight on Qantas costs a minimum of 32,210 rewards points, earned by spending $16,105. This works out at 1.2 cents per dollar, so it's definitely better value than gifts or gift cards. However, you'd be better off opting for the ANZ Frequent Flyer Black card and spend only $8,000 to accrue the 8,000 QFF points required for the same flight.
ANZ Rewards points can be converted to points with Virgin Velocity, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles and Air New Zealand Airpoints. Once again, if frequent flyer points are your aim it would make more sense (and cents) to use a frequent flyer credit card, although having four airlines to choose from does provide some flexibility.
You can convert your reward points to a cash credit against any ANZ account, including your credit card or a mortgage offset account. You'll need 12,500 reward points for each $50 credit to your account, requiring a $6,250 spend and working out at 0.8 cents per dollar, slightly less value than a shopping gift card.
The redemption methods come with a 'Points plus Pay' option, meaning that you can pay with a combination of points plus a cash debit to your credit card if you have insufficient points.
Rewards points expire if not used within three years, and also expire within 60 days if you close the
credit card account on which you earned them.
Other built-in benefits
As you would expect with a black card, there is a range of complimentary benefits to offset the high annual fee:
QBE annual multi-trip international travel insurance for the cardholder and immediate family, covering items like medical expenses, theft, loss and damage of property and car rental excess. For regular travellers this is worth at least $750 a year. Activate the insurance cover by using the card for at least $250 of each trip's expenses for each traveller to be covered.
Interstate flight inconvenience cover, for flight delay, luggage delay, personal property cover, car rental excess.
Transport accident insurance. Compensation for serious accidents on public transport.
Extended warranty. Up to 12 months on top of existing manufacturer's warranty.
Purchase protection. 90 day cover on card purchases against loss, accidental damage and theft.
Price protection. Price difference refunded if you find the identical product (purchased in a bricks-and-mortar store) cheaper elsewhere locally within 21 days.
Competing cards
If you're committed to Qantas and can justify the higher fees for earning direct QFF points at a faster rate, compare the ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Credit Card or the Westpac Altitude Black Credit Card. But if you'd prefer a wider range of reward options, take a look at the St. George or Bank of Melbourne Amplify Signature Credit Cards.
A card designed for . . .
The ANZ Rewards Black Credit Card is ideally suited for the big spender who would like to see some benefit for channelling expenditure through a card, but isn't a committed frequent flyer points collector. In the first year the 75,000 points (worth $375 p.a. in Flight Centre gift cards), plus the $100 cashback, add up to $100 more than the annual fee, meaning that you are actually paid to be a cardholder. In subsequent years the complimentary insurance policies and lounge access easily offset the otherwise high annual fee.
The ANZ Rewards Black Credit Card has been really great for my purposes. The initial bonus of 75K QFF points was a great bonus, but the points per dollar rewards are also at a good rate. On top of that, the free Qantas lounge passes were really easy to obtain (just a quick phone call) and were delivered quickly.
The sleek, black look and choice of AmEx or Visa is very convenient. I highly recommend this card, especially during the promotion periods where the first year's fee is dropped.
Good value rewards and points earned (more than 1 per dollar spent). Good choice of reward options, although gift and shopping vouchers are the best value when redeemed, comparing points for dollar value, rather than redeeming for actual physical items. Not the cheapest annual fee but average for platinum type cards.
Pros are that you get a Visa and companion AmEx card. The AmEx earns 3 points per dollar spent, making a $100 gift card redemption work out to be around 22,225 Rewards points. The card includes the usual travel insurance, and purchase protection, etc. There's a sign up bonus point offer too.
On the downside, ANZ recently reduced the Visa earn rate per dollar spent to 1.25 points (down from 2 points per dollar spent).
The card offers entry to airport lounges worldwide, but when we attended they said that this was no longer available. I am paying a much higher fee than platinum and I can see the difference that it makes to me.
I also don't like the fact that when you call them it is an overseas call centre. I thought my card had been fraudulently used and they had no idea what was going on.

A Bionic Amnesiac Finds Himself in Love & Walker's "Number 13"
"Number 13," Robert Love and David Walker's post-apocalyptic tale of a lost android, debuted in the pages of "Dark Horse Presents" #2. That first serialized story ran through "DHP" #6 and will be collected in "Number 13" #0, on sale November 21, with the first issue of a new "Number 13" miniseries landing December 19.
The series, written by Love and Walker and featuring art by Love, tells the story of an amnesiac android as he scours a blasted landscape for clues to his own past, purpose, and creator. With the human race ravaged and mutated by the "Monstrum Morbus" plague, Number 13 finds himself un-trusted and very nearly alone in a hostile world. Comic Book Resources spoke with Love about the development of the story, the next phase of Number 13's journey and the question of fate.
At the outset, "Number 13" confronts some large themes, as the young android embarks on a quest to find the answers to life's big questions.
"[13]'s lost his memory, like a computer's damaged memory. But, he has a faint memory of his father or creator, so he sets out on a journey to find his father, who he believes has all of the answers to his one question: who is he?" Love told CBR News. "Right now, with the memory loss, he's an innocent as a baby. He has no clue who he is or where he comes from. Everyone he comes in contact with he asks, 'Are you my Dad?'Â He clearly has his basic instincts in certain situations — sometimes deadly instincts — but overall he's a complete mystery; a mystery to himself, to his friends, to his foes and to the reader."
Over the course of the story Number 13 begins to learn bits and pieces of his past — and the reader is let in on a few more details of that back story that remain unknown to our protagonist. It becomes clear early on that Number 13 is a weapon, and that his primary purpose may have been deadly. As he begins to find his way in the world, however, he may begin to overwrite that initial programming.
"He's trying to find his beginning in hopes of becoming human again," said Love. "Just like Pinocchio wanted to be a real boy, well, 13 wants to know who and or what he is and what his purpose is in life. His story is, in my view, fate vs. free will. 13 doesn't have control over his life or his destiny. His father and creator is still pulling the strings."
13's path toward self-knowledge is helped, and sometimes hindered, by a colorful cast of characters he meets along the way. Lorna, a young woman, is the first of these supporting cast members, and her fate at the close of the first serialized arc is left unclear, at least until issue #1.
Love considers himself to be "an artist first, a writer second or third," but "Number 13" is a story he's been carrying around with him for a long time, waiting for the chance to properly tell it.
"For a long time I had an image of a young boy who walks up to a skeleton, pulls off its head and asks the skull, 'Are you my Dad?' That's it, that's all I had in the beginning," said Love. But of course I needed to tell a story. So one day I sat down and began to plot out the story from that basic image that I had in my head. I didn't 'write' it out, I sat down and thumb-nailed about 30-40 pages of story from that beginning point. I didn't know where it was going to take me, I just let my imagination take over and I went crazy."
Following his initial plotting of the story, Love felt the narrative needed to be fleshed out a bit and needed some added structure. He contacted his longtime friend and collaborator, David Walker, to get his take. The two had previously worked together on "Blind Monkey Style" and "The Mad Mauler," stories appearing in the Image Comics anthology series "Popgun."
"I'm thankful that [Walker] came on board with the project because he gave the story a more stable footing," Love said of his collaborator. "He really expanded it. We created a world that is as mysterious and 13 himself. As an artist I think visually. I don't write scripts, I layout thumbnails for a story. But since I partnered with Dave, I no longer do that. We'll discuss what will happen from issue to issue, he'll then write a very loose script with dialogue. He'll leave plenty of room for me to interpret the script they way I want to. He doesn't tell me what do from panel to panel. He'll have a loose description of what is going from page to page.
"The main characters and the overall story came from me, but Dave put the hot sauce on it," Love added.

In approaching the overall look and feel of the book, Love is striving for something a little different. "Number 13" is working towards a style influenced by cartooning and animation, but with a darkness and coat of grime. His apocalyptic world is inspired in part by the look and feel of animated series like "Aeon Flux," artists like Moebius, and films running the fantasy and science fiction spectrum from "Conan the Barbarian" to "Blade Runner."
For Love, the crumbling, post-apocalyptic world of "Number 13" is less a standout feature of the story, and serves primarily as a stage for human drama.
"This is their world," said Love. "This is how they live and deal with this world. They still deal all of the problems that we deal with today: prejudices, shortcomings, dreams and love. This story could be told in any genre."
The post-apocalyptic does, however, have its draws.
"I wanted a sense of despair, loneliness and a bit of anarchy," Love said.
"Number 13" #0 collects the "Dark Horse Presents" serial and is available November 21, with #1 following on December 19.

Hearing about this quite by chance on a French radio station the other week I thought I'd try and fit this exhibition in to my day in Paris. It's definitely worth a look, and I don't think I've ever seen a similar thing in this country. But I don't think the English music scene has ever really produced a similar figure to Gainsbourg. It's as if someone whose career started off like Frankie Vaughan ended up flirting with punk and recording an album with Sly and Robbie, which is what Gainsbourg did.
I still don't get quite why his reputation is so high in France. Maybe it's not so much to do with the quality of the music as his status as a cultural figure, épateur des bourgeois and his tolerated dirty old man-ism. And one thing this exhibition showed was he was partly quite a self conscious Parisian intellectual, widely read and self-aware. Lots of videos, pictures, manuscripts, books from his library. And a second room with computers loaded with audio visual stuff, and a great display of 7" single/EP covers from throughout his career.
I came away not maybe liking him more, as a person or musician, but certainly much better informed. One of those things you'd feel you'd like to go back for for a second look when it's quieter.
