Beijing, China • 360° Aerial Panoramas
Total Views: 411 219
The modern city of Beijing (also known as Peking) occupies a territory of 16,808 square kilometers. The population of the city and its suburbs is over 20 million people. Interestingly, the capital of the People's Republic of China is the second largest city in the country; the prize for the largest Chinese metropolis goes to Shanghai.
Regardless of size, Beijing has been a capital city of the nation since ancient times. The earliest notion of the fact is dated back to the Eastern Zhou dynasty, which began its rule in 770 BC. During that period of time, the city of Ji was the main settlement of the state of Yan. This area is now a part of southeast Beijing.
In the 12th century, another area of the modern city of Beijing was the "central capital", and it was called Zhongdu. Here is what records of that period say about the city: "It is glorious and beautiful inside and out: there are many gardens and groves to bring peace to a royal mind, and plenty of animals and birds in nearby mountains to exercise one's hunting skills." In 1266, Marco Polo, the famous Italian explorer, visited the city and mentioned it in his Book of the Marvels of the World (Livre des merveilles du monde).
During the course of its long history, the city of Beijing has lived through countless forays and devastation, and changing of names, governments, and administrative status. In 1421, the city finally received its modern name, Peking, which is a European transcription of the Chinese word "Beijing" (meaning "Northern Capital"). By that time, in the midst of the outside city, which was surrounded by brick walls, people built the world-famous Forbidden City - the sacred territory that belonged to Chinese emperors, the Sons of Heaven according to a common belief.
Only the worthy were allowed to enter the territory of the emperors, and so the Forbidden City was guarded by a 3,400-meter wall and a moat filled with water. One million construction workers, 100,000 carvers, artisans, and other specialists took part in building the Forbidden City.
The Imperial Palace Museum complex occupies a territory of 150,000 square meters and consists of 90 palaces and inner courts, 980 buildings, and 8,704 rooms.
Numerous foreign visitors heard stories about luxurious imperial quarters, but were never allowed to enter - hence the name "Forbidden City". Only in the early 20th century did the city open its doors to foreign guests. In 1987, the Forbidden City was the first of all landmarks of China to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. Today, it is a museum complex with fascinating architecture and a vast collection of Chinese arts and crafts.
One more UNESCO World Heritage Site of the People's Republic of China is the Temple of Heaven, or literally, the Altar of Heaven (Tiantan). It is one of the symbols of the city of Beijing and is located southeast of the Emperor's Palace. The temple's lower part is a square shape, and its upper part is shaped as a circle. According to the Chinese tradition, the circle symbolizes Heaven, and the square symbolizes the forces of the Earth. For nearly 500 years, Chinese emperors came here during every winter solstice to bring generous gifts to Heaven after 3 days of strict fasting.
Tiananmen Square (440,000 square meters) is another world-famous landmark of Beijing. Until the 20th century, it was the largest city square in the world. The National Museum of Revolution and History of China and the Great Hall of the People are located in the square. There are also a large number of other landmarks and attractions in the capital city and its suburban areas, such as the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (Shisanling) with a Spirit Way (a road, or path, leading to the tombs), the royal residence on Wanshoushan Mountain, and many others.
The highest building in the city of Beijing is Central Radio and Television Tower (Zhongyang Dianshita). Its observation deck is located 240 meters above the ground and features a fantastic view of Beijing's attractions.

But, I noticed mistake. Population of the city of Beijing with its suburbs,can not be "more than 20 billion (20.000,000.000.)?! Beijing occupies territory of 16.808 square km multiplied with 1.200 inhabitants per sq.km results as 20,169.600 inhabitants. City, without suburb,about 17,4 million inhabitants. I am not sure that detail about number or construction workers is correct as well. I would like to know if it is really so, one billion (1.000,000.000) you mentioned.
P.S. Country that you have on your list as mine Serbia & Montenegro does not exist any more. There are two separate counties: Serbia and Montenegro. Please correct this in your country list. Thank you."
Melika Martinovic, Serbia and Montenegro
Varvara, AirPano: Dear Melika, thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right. We meant "more than 20 millions", not billion. It's mistake of translation, we've corrected the text. And we'll correct country list soon.

Think you were shocked by Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance on Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards? Imagine how Robin Thicke's mom feels! The 'Blurred Lines' singer did a risque duet with Miley and now his mom, Gloria Loring, is speaking out about the ex-Disney star's near-naked twerk-fest.
"I don't understand what Miley Cyrus is trying to do," she told omg! "I think she's misbegotten in this attempt of hers. And I think it was not beneficial."
See also: Miley Cyrus Has Tongues Wagging At The VMAs
"I didn't get what her point was," Mama Thicke continued. "It was so over the top as to almost be a parody of itself."
Ms. Loring didn't let on what she thought about her son's part in the jaw-dropping stage romp, but we're hoping she put Robin in time-out. After all, it takes two to tango. Or in this case, twerk.

How SEO Experts Can Ease Foot Pain with Physiotherapy
Standing desks are all the rage these days for people who work computer-based jobs[http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofeet-Dynamic-Massaging-Orthotic-Insoles/dp/B00H8CSM5S]. While this revolution in office furniture is said to have a number of benefits for your posture, it can add extra stress to your feet. If you're an SEO expert who's on their feet most of the day, you may be suffering from foot pain. If you're desperate to seek relief from your pain, working with a licensed physiotherapist may be your best bet.
There are numerous reasons that people experience foot pain. Physical rehabilitation to remove foot pain is a common treatment in many cases, particularly when it comes to heel discomfort, ankle sprains, and stress fractures. Those who experience tendonitis can also gain a lot from physiotherapy to relieve foot discomfort.
When you first see a physiotherapist, they'll want to give you a complete medical assessment and to take a look at your medical history to see if there are any other issues contributing to your foot pain. Diabetics, for instance, usually have poor blood circulation in their lower extremities, so seeing a physiotherapist can not only help them find pain relief, but could also save their foot or limb from being amputated due to improper blood flow.
Physiotherapy for managing foot discomfort similarly concentrates on what type of shoes a person uses. Aside from helping you with stretching and exercising, a physiotherapist may also recommend you specific shoes or insoles you should be wearing to help support your feet.
Speaking of insoles, they're widely available on the market nowadays and can greatly aid in the circulation of blood through the body. Products like the Hydrofeet Therapeutic Massaging Insoles are specifically made for tired and sore feet, perfect for SEO experts that use standing desks. Moreover, they're also helpful for people who have the tendency to put their weight on their feet. Hydrofeet insoles are made out of a gel-like material that not only supports the feet, but also provides ample cushion.
Physiotherapy for minimizing foot pain usually focuses on professional athletes with injured feet or ankles, but this type of therapy is gaining prominence for pain sufferers of all stripes. By executing massage therapy and movement techniques, in addition to teaching exercises that will strengthen the damaged location, patients can benefit significantly from physical rehabilitation.
Individuals with professions that require them to stand on their feet for long periods of time will often experience serious foot discomfort that can be uncomfortable and, in some scenarios, can cause such severe distress that sufferers end up hesitant to walk or run. Physical rehabilitation to minimize foot pain can benefit anyone in this situation dramatically.
If physiotherapy is not for you because of your busy schedule, there's an alternate option for you. You may want to use shoe insoles everyday. Shoe insoles can have therapeutic effects which promote proper blood circulation if used regularly. They provide support to your feet that can alleviate foot pains and prevent foot injuries.
If you're suffering from any type of foot pain, speak to a doctor immediately. They'll be able to decide if your pain can be treated in simple ways or if you should seek out the help of a physiotherapist. With your foot pain under control, you'll be able to get back to taking the world of search engine optimization by storm.

The people who think you shouldn't eat animals were trying to tell anyone who would listen outside Memorial Stadium last night that a wiener made of soybean is a fabulous thing.
Here, in a city with a once-grand history of slaughterhouses and a neighborhood still proud to call itself Pigtown, they arrived two hours before game time to bring down those who are high on the hog, to lay siege to that venerable culinary institution -- the ballpark frank. "Tastes just like a real hot dog!" was the mantra of Jenny Woods, an employee with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, as she stood on the parking lot across from the stadium near a sign that asked,"Guess what's in a hot dog?"
But Ms. Woods, wearing a "Meat Stinks" T-shirt, couldn't get her electric wok to work.
And if you can't taste a hot dog made of bean curd, how are you going to believe it's a "tasty, ecologically-safe alternative to the hot dog," as the ethical treatment for animals people promised?

Flow is a theme framework that I built to reduce the amount of time I spend on common tasks. For every site that I set up, I have a handful of steps which I do for each site, whether this is installing useful plugins, setting up mobile menus, or setting up a workflow. Flow saves me hours of work for each project due it's opinionated set of styles and library of useful functions with handles some of the more difficult tasks when developing WordPress websites.
Every time I run into something new for a project that can be re-used, it goes all the way back to Flow so that next time I run in to the problem – it's already solved.
Flow uses Gulp, SASS, jQuery, and LiveReload. It also makes use of a handful of carefully selected JavaScript plugins to provide extra functionality out of the box.

Les Miserables Movie Finds Its Marius
And they haven't cast some famous singing star as the movie's romantic lead.
The big-screen adaptation of Les Miserables has already packed on the star power in the form of Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and Anne Hathaway (not to mention Helena Bonham Carter, who's rumored to be circling Madame Thénardier), so did the production feel the need for a big-name singing star to play the movie's romantic lead, Marius? Not quite: Deadline says producers have cast Eddie Redmayne in the role, and while he has won a Tony, it was for the straight play Red last year. The 29-year-old Brit is perhaps better known to moviegoers from his parts in Savage Grace and The Yellow Handkerchief, and in Les Miz, he'll form a youthful love triangle with the yet-to-be-cast Cosette and Eponine. Better luck next time, Nick Jonas! [Deadline]

God's ongoing authorship of nightlife worship's story began in 2011. Before nightlife was a band, it was the name of monthly worship nights at The Bridge Church in Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca. It was the vision of the church to turn upside down (think Acts 17:6) what the world viewed as "nightlife" and welcome their church family and the city into encountering the freedom and transformative power of Jesus. It was at these events that a spirit-filled and musical chemistry began to establish between them. This newfound harmony began to birth new songs of praise. As the new material was shared, the church responded. But more than just their home church embracing them, God's favor was upon them at camps, shows and other local churches. This fueled their passion to pursue all that Jesus had for them and to begin compiling enough material for an album. And with most of the members being longtime active worship leaders at their church and even volunteering at other local churches, new songs of praise came fluidly.
Roughly three years later nightlife began a Kickstarter campaign to fund their first full-length entitled ARISE and their vision to equip the worship community at large. It was all or nothing. Fund it all, or none at all. God was faithful to complete the good work He began and the project was a success. So much so, that the band has been working to translate the album into Spanish as well.
nightlife's mission is clear: nightlife worship exists to magnify and pursue the Glory of God in Christ Jesus through the vehicle of new songs birthed in their hearts and centered on God's word, by the gifting and power of the Holy Spirit; to see His sons and daughters realize their identity (Rev 1:5-6), liberty and purpose (kingdom authority *1 Peter 2:9) in Christ while inviting them into an atmosphere of pastorally led, unashamed praise and psalm-like response to His greatness.
By the grace of God they will attempt to reach the nations and strive to grow in their knowledge and love for Jesus. They are passionate about ministering before the Lord and leading others in the releasing, redeeming, renewing, refreshing, and restoring power of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
May the broken arise in the strength and power of God and make famous the name of Jesus.

My first entry in the Leuchtturm 1917 Master Dots notebook is dated February 19th, 2012, and in a about a week it will be 4 months since I started using it. I've filled 146 pages, using pencil and ballpoint. I've traveled with it, taken it camping, and take it to work every day.
I still prefer it to the other notebooks I've used in the past, and I still love the dots format. I am starting to think the 8×10 size offered by BookFactory.com might be a little easier to carry, but of course that means less page area as well.
Some wear and tear is showing up in the usual spot – at the top and bottom of the spine:
I'm also seeing nicks in the faux leather cover, but overall the book is holding up a bit better than I expected. I think I will be able to fill it without the covers falling off 😉 What's more amazing is that I will probably fill it in the next 3 months. 7 months to fill an A4 size book with 5mm line spacing. I have pocket size Moleskines that span more than a year. Bigger books really do encourage more writing. Whether it's content that should have been encouraged might prove debatable, but so far I think it's an advantage.
It's always neat to see how the edges of the pages show how far the book has been filled:
To deal with the un-numbered table of contents, I just labeled each line with a range of three pages, and then started filling in each line with what was on those three pages. I really think one line per page is the way to go.
For any of you who might be sitting on the fence, looking at one of these and thinking of trying it, do it. Once you go bigger, it will be hard to go back.

Winter Storage Tips
Brady's Bend Underground Storage has some recommendations to make your winter car storage experience the best it can be. Here are a few of the key tips we've collected to keep your unit looking and feeling the best it can when you come back to pick it up.

- Clean It Up. Make sure that the vehicle is clean and dry. That is the single best thing to keeping a great experience. It may seem counter-intuitive to get the car washed when you're putting it away for months, but it is an easy step and one that shouldn't be overlooked. Water stains or bird droppings left on the car can damage the paint. Make sure to clean the wheels and undersides of the fenders to get rid of mud, grease or tar. For added protection, give the car a coat of wax
- Don't Use the Parking Brake. It's usually a good idea to use the parking brake, but don't do it when you leave a car in storage. If the brake pads make contact with the rotors for too long, there is a chance that they might fuse. Instead of engaging the brake, you can purchase a tire stopper, also called a chock, to prevent the car from moving.
- After the storage season, change the oil and filter again once you get home. Oil breaks down over time, even if it is not in use.
- If you use a cover, use one that is ventilated and allows water vapor to escape. Wicking materials, similar to those used on sporting "technical wear", is widely used in high-end covers.
- Be sure to add stabilizer to the gas. This can be minimized by leaving only a small amount of gasoline in the tank, and upon returning to your car — adding fresh gas to mix with the older gas.
- Be mindful of leaving wiper arms extended. If they snap back on the glass, the arms can break the windshield.
- Check tire pressure and inflate the tires to the recommended specs before and after the season.
- Check fluids to make sure there have been no leaks and that they are at the recommended levels.

Does anyone know who is truly in charge of the revitalization of downtown Pottstown? I believe if we wait another year I don't believe there will be anything left at all. The only activity I see is more and more of High Street getting jackhammered up. It's just so embarrassing. I would love to volunteer to help but I don't know what to do. Apparently nobody else does either.
Now let's be honest here. If President Trump truly wanted to destroy North Korea he surely wouldn't need a nuke to accomplish that. All he'd have to do is send Schumer and Pelosi over there to run it.

And there you have it. Democrats just showed the middle class what they really think of us. They put the illegal immigrants over us the American tax paying citizens just to serve their agenda. Let's all be real here. The reason Democrats want this DACA deal so bad is for all their votes. I ask you Democratic-loving people who do you think is going to pay for all of them when they go on Welfare and Medicaid? Us.

This is concerning Upper Darby Police Superintendent Mr. Chitwood. I'm Mary Beth Anderson from Chester and I just wanted to let him know that I have more respect for him than any other police commissioner or whatever he may be. He's a good guy. I do not know how all this is happening in his town. My town is bad enough but I just wanted to let you know Mr. Chitwood that I'm on your side. You're a good man.

How legal is it for any business to not give employees handbooks but yet make them read one handbook only at work and make them sign a piece of paper stating they read it? How legal is that? Every employee should be given an employee handbook. What do businesses want to hide by not giving employees handbooks? Who can answer this question?
Subordinating the interests of Americans and legal immigrants to those of illegals is a reflection of the globalist mind set which compelled Obama to alter rules of military engagement to the benefit of ISIS and the Taliban. Trump put an end to that treason and will do the same to an open borders agenda designed to Balkanize our nation.

To Truth Be Told, this is not 1995 and it's not 1960. In time all things were changed with the exception of the moral opinion of people who live in the past. Changes are coming for the good of our great nation and you can either accept it or remain in the past where nothing changes for the good of all Americans.
Donald Trump, I see gas prices are now getting close to $3. AAA says by the time summer gets here it'll be $3. So since you took credit for the stock market I'll give you credit for the gas prices going up and the oil prices too, they're approaching $3 a gallon. So the poor people, there goes their raise right into the gas tank and the oil tanks. Good job Donald.
Trump shuts down the government for something that he said Mexico was going to pay for. Over and over again he said this, and in fact he wants the money from the American taxpayers. Just another lie coming from a big mouth.
For the person who quoted the Democrats as saying they would do everything they could to destroy Donald Trump and make his term a disaster is wrong. It was the Republicans that said that about President Obama. On Oct. 10, 2010, the Republican House Speaker John Boehner offering his plans for Obama's agenda said "We're going to do everything and I mean everything we can to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can."

I've been an Eagles fan since the 1940s but I was never more disgusted with the way some Eagle fans treated the Viking fans on Sunday at the NFC game. They did not represent this area as a whole; they disgraced the city. The Philadelphia cops said they could not do anything about it which I disagree with. I wonder if a note of apology can be sent through the media in Minnesota from good Eagle fans. Anyone who has an opinion on this should also sound off.

I think any politician that's been charged with sexual harassment should pay for these out of his pocket, not the taxpayers. I don't know what gives them the right to make the taxpayer pay for what they're doing. It should be an expense that is paid by the politicians not any taxpayer.

Join Jan Kabili for an in-depth discussion in this video Keywording, part of Learning Lightroom 5.
Adding keyword tags to a photo is the single most powerful thing you can do in Lightroom's library module, to increase the odds you'll be able to find that photo in the future. I think the trick is to use keywords that are meaningful to you, and to be consistent about applying them to all your photos. If you are not sure in advance what keywords you will need, Let your photos suggest keywords to you. So, let's say that I want to add keywords to a couple of these photos. I'll select some photos here in the grid, this one and this one, and then I go over to the column on the right. I am going to expand this panel, the Keywording panel, and I will come down here and click in the field that says Click Here to Add Keywords. Then I'll think about some words that I might use to find these particular photos.
I might type fountain. And to add second keyword, I'll type a comma, which is what you use to separate keywords here, and I'll type water comma. I'll type France, since this is where these photos were taken and they were taken in a town called (UNKNOWN), so I'll type that. And notice that a keyword tag can be made up of more than one word like (UNKNOWN). When I'm done, I'll press Enter or Return on the keyboard, and that's done a couple of things. Down here on the bottom right of each of these thumbnails, there's a new badge, which means that these photos have keywords applied to them. And over in the keyword list, you can see a list of the keywords that I just made as I apply them to those photos.
The number to the right of each keyword tag represents them number of photos to which I've applied that keyword. Another way to create and apply keyword is by using the spray can. It's quick and kind of fun too. To use the spray can, I'll go down to my tool bar in the library module. If your Tool bar isn't showing then press "T" on your keyboard. I'll click on the Spray Can icon to pick up the spray can, and when I do I see this menu that says paint. I'll click the Paint menu and here I can see a list of the various properties that I could spray on the Thumbnails in the Grid View. So this is another quick way to add flags or ratings to photos, I want to add keywords.
So I'll leave it set to keywords. And then I'll go to the field that says enter keywords here, and I'll type the keyword that I want to spray on to some photos. You can create a new keyword, or you can use an existing one. I'll create a new one. I'll type Paris and press Enter or Return on the keyboard. And now you can see there's a new keyword, Paris in the keyword list. The plus symbol means that this is the keyword that's loaded into my spray can. Now I'll go into the image. And to apply the Paris keyword to multiple photos, I'll just click on each one of those photos. It's quick and it's easy.
Now here's something you might forget to do. When you're done applying keywords with the spray can, you have to come back down to the Tool bar and click in the spray can circle to put the spray can back. Now, some photographers like to build a well organized keyword list in the Keyword List panel, and then apply their keywords. So here's how you can build a keyword list. In the Keyword List panel, I'll click the plus symbol. In the window that opens, I'll type a keyword in the keyword name field.
I'm going to type places, and then I'll click Create. And that creates a brand new keyword here. Now, I'm going to use this as a higher level keyword in which to organize other keywords. So, I'll select the keyword places in the Keyword List panel, I'll click the plus symbol on the keyword list panel. And this time, I'm going to create the keyword Europe. And down here, I'll leave put inside places checked. And I get that Option because I'd selected the keyword places before I created this new keyword tag.
I'll click Create, and if I go to the places keyword in the Keyword List panel and click the triangle next to it, I can see my Europe keyword indented under the places keyword. I can also drag keywords in the keyword list to create hierarchy of keywords. So, I might take the France keyword and drag it down on top of Europe. And now when I click the triangle next to Europe, you see France indented there. And then I'll take the Paris keyword and drag that down into France, and as you can see, I'm building this nice hierarchy of keywords. One reason to do this is that it helps you keep your keyword list organized and manageable.
Because if I close Places, then my keyword list gets shorter. And I can apply any of these keywords to photos by selecting photos. I'll just select all of these. And then clicking to the left of the keyword. These were all taken at various placed in Europe, so I'll apply the keyword Europe to all of the photos. And then I'll press Cmd+D on the Mac or Ctrl+D on the PC to deselect. So those are some different ways to create and apply key words. The whole point of applying key words to photos is to make it easier to find photos later, and that's what we'll talk about next.
Then you'll learn key ways to manage your photos in Lightroom, from reviewing photos after a shoot to working with Smart Previews when your photos are offline. This part of the course covers making collections, adding keywords, and much more.

This is the current situation... Computer (desktop) was running fine up till about 2 months ago. Then it started to act up. ''IE'' - Shut off on its own for no reason every few days or so, but it would start back up again without much of a problem.
As the weeks went on, it had gotten worse and worse. Over the last few weeks and days, it takes me about 20 mins to get it up and running for a few hours before it shuts down again.
This is what happens when i try to start it up - Gets to the windows loading menu, then clicks off and it starts to scroll the following message....
Bad BIOS Checksum..Starting BIOS Recovery
Insert Floppy
No Floppy Found
Insert Cd-Rom
No Cd-Rom Found
Insert Floppy
No Floppy Found
Insert Cd-Rom
No Cd-Rom Found
Insert Floppy
No Floppy Found
Insert Cd-Rom
No Cd-Rom Found
Basically it does this till i have to manually restart it again. When i restart, 80% of the time it still contines to scroll that message. The other 15% of the time it will get to the desktop screen before it shuts down again. The final 5% it will work fine for a few hours, before it shuts down and starts to scroll that above message again.
Now this is the weird part. I was able to get it to run for a few hours the other day long enough to do a system restore back to sept. For some reason it wouldnt let me restore it from a eariler date then that. But since i did the restore, now it is running much better, (like it did a few months ago), but it will still periodically restart.
I was thinking it was maybe the motherboard or the powersupply, but i dont think that would be the case, since it is running better since the restore.
Its seems that i was able to restore it back to where the problems were just begining, when the problem wasnt so bad. But as each day goes, it tends to get a little worse each day.
I know that was alot to read, but i had to try to fully explain the problem.
BTW - I did do a virus scan after the restore and it did locate a trojen virus that i deleted. Now when i do a virus scan, everything comes back clean, but the problem still continues...
Any help would be appericated...
Thx fellas...
Feel free to stare at my sig while you come up with a solution
UPDATE TO THIS POST.....[size=7][size=3]
I inserted my motherboard disk in the CD drive while it was doing it scrolling routine. Something happened..It stopped scrolling the BIOS message and said...
Please power down and power back up to return to system...
At this point i was excited because i thought i had fixed the problem. Turns out that when i restarted the computer i get nothing on my monitor, it stays turned off. The orange power light is on for the monitor ( like when you go into stand-by mode), but the computer is running.
Now i am at a complete loss...
Any help would be appeicated...
Thx All...

#AccessYUL happened just a few weeks ago and I'm a better person for attending. Secondly I'd also like to conjecture that Access is the best Unconference you'll encounter. It is, without a doubt, the premier Canadian Library technology conference every put together. Lots of reasons pile up but what gets to me is that it is volunteer run and there is huge community of respect between the organizers and the undoubtedly serial attendees. I'm guessing I'll become a Deadhead Access fan now.

I needed to show paper copies of journal holdings in SFX windows. Clicking twice in the SFX intermediate window is ok. Showing the holdings in the menu itself is good. Showing the holdings by querying the catalogue live is even better. Setting it up in 10 minutes even more better. This is the lazy solution but I'll present it here anyway.

Crowdfunding – What Do I Need to Know?
It's often the first question that comes up when launching a new food or
beverage company: "How will I fund this endeavor?"
While traditional routes, including angel investment, bank loans and
venture capital, are common sources of funding, a relatively new option
exists: crowdfunding.
Simply put, crowdfunding is a fundraising model that enables entrepreneurs
to raise small amounts of capital from a variety of individuals and
sources. A range of crowdfunding platforms exist, ranging from
equity-based models to reward- and experiential-based programs.
In this video series Katie Fitzgerald, Business Development Manager,
CircleUp discusses the basics and finer points of crowdfunding and how the
financing model could benefit your brand.

Hi Guys,
Needed your thoughts really. I have been trying for a few days to get aload of Network Windows installers work all with the same end result... it doesnt work This is mostly down to the fact they havent been updated in so long that they have gained dust and driver support has to be on the custom.
After using PING to ghost a few servers I was really excited to try out WINNER but found out it only does XP (we run Server 2003 Enterprise on all our machines) so felt I was back to stage one. I have tried
# Unattened
Both either refused to connect to the local samba mounts or with unattended managing to confuse its self. :-s Has anyone else got any recommendations on other remote network install software to try out? I am running all the software of another Server 2003 machine... oh and RIS is just too much hassle since it requires AD.
Thanks for your help,

I have Win2K3 Server, but I have not been using it for sometime. I have used RIS and found it to work, but as you stated AD is a pain to configure for a small network. I know that I would like WINNER to work with Win2K, and would expect that Win2K3 would not be too different to setup. It, however, is a ton of work for Natan to do so. Maybe if you talked to Natan really nice (his email is here) he could tell you the necessary changes for Win2K3 and since you have a need you would also have the necessary testing platforms.
Also as a side note, in the WINNER section there is this post. Give it a read it may help you out

Joseph Nechvatal Interview
Many thanks for the opportunity to interview you for Biota.org. For those not familiar with your background, can you please introduce your academic background?
Sure. I took a BFA at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale first, taking design classes with Buckminster Fuller and making art in a permissive post-minimalist environment. I then went to Cornell University with the idea of getting an MFA, but found the art department there years behind Southern Illinois University, so I left and went to New York and Columbia University where I worked towards an MPhil, studying with Arthur Danto most notably.
In the late 90s I earned a Ph.D. in the philosophy of art and new technology at Roy Ascott's Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts (CAiiA) at The University of Wales College. That was a fantastic intellectual experience. My research was focused on the immersive ideals behind virtual reality. Your readers can examine the introduction and download the full thesis as a pdf file if they wish.

Permian Basin drilling activity surpasses peak seen in 2008
Permian Basin operators apparently do not need triple-digit oil prices to motivate them to drill new wells.
According to Amarillo Economist Karr Ingham, the rig count for the three Railroad Commission districts that comprise the West Texas portion of the Permian Basin - Districts 7C, 8 and 8A - averaged 278 rigs in November, up 101.4 percent from the average 138 in November 2009. He went on to note that the November average is 37 rigs higher than the peak of 241 rigs seen in August 2008, just after crude prices hit a record $147 a barrel. November's average is also almost five times the low of 57 rigs seen in May 2009 after oil prices sank to below $40 a barrel. The number of rigs at work in those three districts, he said, comprise 38 percent of the total Texas rig count, up from 25 percent in August-September 2008 when activity peaked before falling sharply amid the economic downturn.
Ingham's Texas Permian Basin Petroleum Index in November was 29.8 percent above November 2009 levels.
He said both the local general economy and the petroleum economy were growing as 2010 came to an end, though current growth and growth rates have not returned to pre-recession levels seen in 2008.
"The regional rig count is an important exception to the 'levels versus growth rate' issue," he said because it is significantly higher than during pre-recession levels.
"The Permian Basin is really carrying the water for Texas and the industry," he said. "We have a decent amount of activity here in the Panhandle, but that's the nature of the gas here - it's hot gas, with a lot of liquids so producers can get a lot of value from it."
It is clear, he added, that "What is going on in the Permian Basin is driving the overall trend in Texas right now - this focus back to crude oil and how development has played out there, like the Wolfberry. It is a fascinating phenomenon - it wasn't that long ago Texas was more a natural gas state with as much as 80 percent of the rigs drilling for natural gas. That hasn't completely turned around but there has been a fascinating resurgence, not just because of prices but because of technological advances."
November crude prices rose 8.9 percent to average $80.76 a barrel in November, up from $74.18 last November. For the year so far, prices averaged $76.07, up 31.4 percent from $57.13 in the same timeframe a year earlier. Those prices, Ingham noted, are high enough to prompt producers to drill wells while not fueling a cost structure that he said "is not out of control, though I am told it is difficult to get some of the service work done, like fracturing and completions. That happens with a rapid increase in activity. It's a self-correcting problem that won't affect drilling activity though it might depress completion numbers a little. I don't know if it's a matter of finding people who were laid off and putting them back to work or what." Oil and gas employment was up by 1,000 jobs or 4.1 percent in November, to 25,200 jobs from 24,200 last November. For the year, employment was still feeling the impact of the early 2009 downturn, with average employment of 24,527 down 4.7 percent from an average 25,745 in 2009.
It is an example, he said, of the marketplace at work.
"The price system provides a mechanism and gives producers the opportunity to operate freely. Permian Basin producers take that freedom and figure out a way to ratchet crude up to the surface that they couldn't at $20 a barrel. At a time when the marketplace is sensing a demand for energy need in the future, it's providing the mechanism to meet that demand. And this is a seasoned, innovative, entrepreneurial group of producers at work in the Permian Basin."
The high rate of activity gave a boost to Permian Basin oil production volumes, which were up 4.1 percent in November from the previous November and up 0.2 percent in 2010 from 2009 levels. The value of that production soared 13.2 percent to $1.8 billion from $1.6 billion last November and totaled $18.3 billion through the first 11 months of 2010, up 32.1 percent from $13.8 billion the previous year.
Natural gas prices averaged $3.09 per Mcf in November, down 30.4 percent from $4.44 last November. For 2010 to date, prices averaged $4.27 per Mcf, up 26.7 percent from $3.37 a year earlier. A slowdown in activity due to weaker prices sent production volumes falling 5.7 percent in November from the previous November and down 4.4 percent in 2010 compared to a year earlier. November production values sank 34.4 percent to $314.7 million from $479.8 million last November, though values to date in 2010 were $4.9 billion, up 21.9 percent from $4.02 billion in 2009.
The Railroad Commission issued 637 drilling permits in November, up 47.1 percent from 433 in November 2009. Through November, the commission had issued 7,310 drilling permits, up 99.9 percent from 3,656 a year earlier.
"The magic behind this whole thing is the industry doesn't expand and grow and the producers put activity in place with the benevolent goal of growing the regional economy," Ingham said. "But that's what happens. They provide a product that is demanded and we know it's demanded because of price levels. The fantastic side benefit is it fuels growth in the overall regional economy."
He repeated his comment that it has been a fascinating phenomenon to watch from his office in Amarillo.
"I would have never expected, a year ago or a year and a half ago at the front end of this cycle, to see this impressive and strong a recovery in activity," he said.

8 More Types of People at Coachella
Electronic Music Snobs
"There are some amazing electronic acts coming to Coachella this year and they're bringing along some of the most annoying fans on the planet. These people think they're better than you because they buy their songs on Beatport instead of iTunes. And they call them, "tracks," not songs. They love a group until they're popular then resent them for their modest success. They think certain styles of dance music are objectively superior to others but they don't much care for dancing. Electronic music snobs are the worst, they're basically the latest iteration of the hipster. Look, leaving comments on SoundCloud doesn't make you a founding member of Kraftwerk and "Future Bass Glitch" isn't a genre just because you say so. Relax. Maybe just stay at home critiquing Boiler Room sets if you can't handle hanging out in a crowd without being a smarmy dick."

I'd rather eat my own feet than go to that - looks worse than V Fest.

If Jason Miller was hoping to clear up any confusion surrounding his actions a few months back in relation to an arrest for vandalizing a church (in the nude no less), the 31-year old failed miserably to do so this week after being given an opportunity to explain his side of the story in an interview. In fact, "Mayhem" raised more questions about his mental/physical health after taking the opportunity to show up as the character he plays in the upcoming movie Here Comes the Boom, delivering a series of profane rants before messing with the set and storming off in a furor.
"Look, I had about enough of this. Are you f*ckin done? Are you gonna f*ckin talk about Here Comes the Boom that comes out on October 12? Yo bro, I'm f*ckin sick of it. You guys have your f*ckin stupid f*ckin radio show in your mom's basement," said Miller on The MMA Hour when host Ariel Helwani attempted to get him to drop the schtick, again responding angrily after being referred to by his nickname a few times. "STOP CALLING ME MAYHEM!!!"
Miller also referred to Helwani as a "Jew" and "whore" during the strange sit-down.
After the conversation in question, a shell-shocked Helwani did his best to calm things down but ultimately had to call an end to things when Miller left the studio. He then took a short break and returned where he explained the fighter's actions "were interesting, and also a little bit frightening, and a little bit sad."
Miller – or even character "Lucky" Patrick for that matter – have yet to publicly respond regarding the situation. He is expected to face a judge next month to address his legal situation in California where he could face up to a year in jail if convicted.

The flagship carrier out of the United Kingdom, British Airways, is completely overhauling its business class loyalty program, called On Business. The loyalty program is a popular one with businesses of all sizes and offers a tiered ranking system to increase the reward earning potential of their customers.
While most business class loyalty programs cater to large companies, British Airways' On Business revamp is set to offer medium and even small sized entrepreneurs the ability to better manage and work within their travel budgets. There's even a chance for them to win a seat on an exclusive mentor flight to Austin, Texas.
But there's one way that the new loyalty program is set to beat the competition and really set the program apart. The new program brings together loyalty program customers from American Airlines, Iberia, and British Airways to allow them to not only build points on all three airlines but also spend them together. Along with a new revamped website, the British Airways On Business program is turning heads across the airline industry.

I recently finished reading 'Who'd be a Copper?' by Jonathan Nicholas. If you enjoy insider police accounts in a similar vein to Inspector Gadget and Nightjack (god rest his blog), you may well enjoy this book as much as I did. The kindle version is a bargain at 99p.
Given recent events I was particularly interested to read about Jon's experiences with police training on, and attitudes towards Islam in the UK. He only spends a few pages on this, yet it was quite an eye-opener. Before reading the excerpts below, remember that Jon is mostly detailing events that occurred in 2006-2007. This is well before the toxic and authoritarian 'social justice' phenomenon really hit people's radars and certainly before it slithered its tentacles into multiple industries and establishments. That makes it all the more remarkable that the police had apparently already decided to go down a route of cultural relativism, regressive virtue-signalling and complete double standards where the rule of law was concerned.
The instructor for his course, Jon informs us, arrived in full traditional Muslim garb. He was apparently a serving police officer at the time, although Jon states he had never encountered him. After being taught about the basic tenets of Islam, the Q & A began. One of the delegates asked:
"What do you think about the use of alcohol in this country, as you said in Islam it is forbidden?"
In response, the instructor said:
"We will never be reconciled to the way you drink alcohol, never. We will never accept the way your women dress either, and get drunk the way they do. We will never accept your way of life. We will never accept this as true Muslims." [Original emphasis]
This was sometime in 2006-7, from an allegedly full time serving police officer. A member of Her Majesty's constabulary who would have sworn an oath to "fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality, upholding fundamental human rights and according equal respect to all people." How in any way are the above attitudes compatible with impartial policing?
It gets better, though.
Jon shares his thoughts at the time:
The room was stunned into silence. No-one dared ask another question. I found it curious that he used the words 'your' women and 'your' way of life, when he'd already said he was born in the UK. I immediately pondered the thought: What hope was there for integration?
What hope, indeed. He decided to express his disquiet in an email to the training school. He wrote:
'I am surprised to see Notts Police is still sending people on the above course. I myself have attended such a day and found it interesting as I realised how rigid, intractable and intolerant the Muslim faith is, and it went some way to reinforcing my own stereotypes of Islam. To that end it was an interesting day. However, now that the government has officially discredited 'multiculturalism' and deemed it to be a failure, I would have thought such a course would now cease?'
Such an email would have seemed all the more reasonable 9+ years ago, before the speech police truly began to exercise their inordinate power. 9/11 was still in many people's thoughts and 7/7 had only happened two years previously. There was apparently no response for weeks until out of the blue a superior officer contacted him to discuss the email. The interaction as Jon describes it went as follows:
I explained what had happened on the Islam course and exactly what had been said. Almost immediately he dismissed my opinions, telling me I was wrong to send the email and the content was also incorrect. It was not up for debate. He then said to me: "It's not for Muslims to change their way of life it's for us to adapt to theirs. We have to be sensitive as to where we drink alcohol and how we dress."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "What? Are you serious?"
"Yes I am. In fact you are lucky I'm not taking this matter down the discipline route. Don't send any such emails like that again."
Musing in response to this, Jon writes:
This gaffer reminded me the police and other public bodies in Britain were now under a legal obligation to promote diversity. When did this happen? I don't remember signing up to become a political evangelist. The job was hard enough without having to actively promote a hare-brained government idea. I thought the police were supposed to be independent of politics anyway?
This issue did not impact again directly on Jon's career until years later when the government finally realised integration & extremism were serious issues. They launched the 'Prevent Strategy', and Jon decided to read the policy document:
I studied the Prevent policy document and as I turned the pages I wondered when the really useful strategies would start, but they didn't. It was 90% waffle and politically correct tiptoeing. I thought then how the whole thing was doomed to failure,
I'm sure you're being held back in surprise right now after reading that. Despite the waffle and fluff, Jon decided to apply to work on the Prevent programme. Unlike most police officers, he had significant relevant experience, having lived in Israel in the past, knowing the region and picking up some Arabic and Hebrew. He was invited to interview and then made to wait for an inordinate amount of time:
What was the delay? I was then told by a person in plain clothes that I was no longer suitable to apply for the post. I asked why.
"Oh, well, it's connected to some comments you made about Islam a few years ago. We can't have you on the team because of it, sorry." That was it. No recourse to appeal. Clearly someone had made a phone call. My 'unofficial' file had been consulted and the email discovered from four years before. [Original Emphasis]
That's right. They kept his WrongSpeak email on record for all that time and as a result he – a better qualified candidate than most – was blackballed.
What he has to say about this is worth quoting almost in its entirety, and certainly deserves a wider reading than just the people like me who purchased his book out of general interest. If you're short on time, just skip to the last paragraph where he makes an extremely powerful point:
The appeasement of Islam in 2006 was typical of the dangerous politically correct nonsense in existence at the time. The situation grew progressively worse and in the last few years Islam has been deliberately singled out by many authorities in Britain for preferential treatment. 'Equality under the law' is the saying, but clearly some are more equal than others. I don't care who you are, no-one should be favoured by a country's law enforcement officers.
I suspect the main reason for this is simply fear of upsetting Muslims, and fear of being accused of racism. It's not the first time the police, and no doubt other public bodies, have been lenient in their dealings with a minority. I was even guilty of it myself at times. An accusation of racism can result in immediate dismissal from any job in the public sector today, and even imprisonment. In the latter half of my service I became reluctant to stop a motorist if the driver was from a visible minority, particularly if I was on my own. "You've only stopped me because…" was a common comment. The job was hard enough, so why would you want to create extra problems and scrutiny from the PSD? I'd heard a rumour that someone high up in the IPCC, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, had been heard saying about police complaints "There's no smoke without fire", which is outrageous if true. It would mean there is now a clear presumption of guilt on the part of police officers.
….Militant Islam is a fearful entity, and so almost anything is sacrificed in order to keep it securely in the box. It is easier for everyone to let something go rather than pursue it and cause trouble. The ultimate manifestation of this attitude is of course what's happened in Rochdale, Rotherham, Luton, Derby, and other British cities where Pakistani men have been apparently deliberately permitted to abuse young girls. The unintended legacy of such leniency has now caused increased fear and distrust of Muslims, thereby causing further community tension.
But the problem continues to worsen. Every year British police are given particular lengthy instructions regarding Ramadan, and how they should be careful when dealing with Muslims.
The tone, if not the actual words, mean that cops should avoid them for a month every year. No other group in society is in receipt of such blatant favouritism. We were told not to eat in front of Muslim colleagues during Ramadan fasting, in case it upset them. There were around forty people in the last department I worked in and a single Muslim who wasn't the least bit religious and didn't care at all, but still we were given these orders. Why?
…..People have a tendency to fear things they don't understand. There are areas of Britain that no longer resemble this country. Minorities have been allowed to ghettoise themselves and have failed to integrate. This is a disaster for Britain. My suggestion for a solution to these British ghettos is a radical one, but it's been done before. Every city in the country has undergone re-housing of huge numbers of people during the slum clearances. We have poverty in concentrated areas now, but it's not financial. These areas need to be cleared and the people moved, welcomed and integrated into the rest of society, now, before it's too late.
We are all equal under the law, and preferential treatment should not be given to anyone, whoever they are. Neglect of duty should be feared more than upsetting any potentially vociferous minority. The current Home Secretary stated recently that 'institutionalised political correctness' was to blame for the Rotherham child abuse scandal. Only a few years ago the police were described as 'institutionally racist'. You can't have both, so make up your mind what you want, but do it quickly. The government created this mess; it's their job to sort it out. [Emphases mine]
Shocked? Disgusted? Afraid for the future with such pathetically craven entities charged with our protection?
You should be.
Our grandparents' great struggle was against National Socialism in Europe. Our generation's great struggle is against National Suicide in Europe.

Worst Pet Reptiles for Beginners
Reptiles are wonderful pets to have be a part of the family. However, some species are more difficult to care for than others, and some fail to thrive when kept in the common household.
Reptile rescues everywhere are completely full and countless more reptiles die every year simply because people don't do research before choosing a pet reptile. Some of the most popular species in the pet trade are actually the worst for beginners, but cheap price tags and unknowledgeable sales clerks at pet stores lure people into the trap of having a pet that grows too big, takes too much time or money, or is dangerous and too aggressive.
Before choosing any type of pet, you must be willing to do hours and hours, week upon weeks of careful research. Don't trust any one source for information because it could be wrong or outdated. Read books and multiple care articles from several different sources. Ask people who have experience with the species you're interested in for stories, tips, etc. And remember to plan ahead… Reptiles live a long time and life circumstances can change suddenly. Are you truly committed to preparing your reptile's food several times a week for the next 20 long years? Do you really see yourself being able to complete weekly water changes once a week for an aquatic turtle for the rest of your life? Be honest with yourself when choosing the correct pet.
Chameleons are unique, interesting reptiles that fascinate people. They can change color to blend in with their environment, have bizarre habits/behavior, and have an alien-like body shape. It's easy to understand why folks looking to add their first reptile to the family would want a chameleon. However, these animals are not at all hardy. They need their habitat conditions (temperature, humidity, ventilation) to be perfectly correct or they will get sick and eventually wither away. They stress very easily and can actually die from stress alone, and they should never be handled. Chameleons should strictly be a look-don't-touch pet. It's important to note that keeping chameleons can be challenging even for experienced keepers, so beginner hobbyists should avoid them as their first reptile.
Chinese Water Dragon
Baby Chinese water dragons (CWDs) are unfortunately sold for a relatively cheap price in pet stores. As babies they resemble cute little green dragons and as adults they look like mini dinosaurs. Because CWDs are usually purchased as babies, a new hobbyist may not realize what they're signing up for. Water dragons grow very quickly; by one year of age it will be a foot long and by two years of age it will be two or three feet long. Being an arboreal species, a full-grown adult requires a custom-built enclosure that is at least six feet tall and at least four feet wide, which is an endeavor requiring hundreds of dollars. Additionally, a growing lizard needs quite a bit of expensive food quite often, and an adult never loses its big, hearty appetite!
Tokay Gecko
Tokay geckos are widely available in pet stores for a cheap price. Their beautiful coloration makes them a desirable species by many hobbyists, especially if the prospective pet owner happens to be a NFL Broncos fan. But these little lizards are incredibly aggressive and speedy animals who won't hesitate to lunge towards you, deliver a nasty and powerful bite, and then zip past you and escape down the hallway. A new reptile keeper should get a crested gecko or leopard gecko instead as these two species have many gorgeous color varieties without the aggressiveness of the tokay.
Iguanas get huge and mean. A six-foot long iguana needs a cage that is twice-as-long (12 feet) as its body. Being semi-arboreal, they also need very tall enclosures. Their claws and powerful tails are perfectly equipped to cause you great injury whenever the lizard is feeling in a particularly feisty or aggressive mood. During breeding season they can get hormonal and become downright crazy. They also need extreme amounts of UVB in order to stay healthy and need to be fed a complicated diet of harder-to-find vegetables (more than just lettuce and kale). If you're caring for an iguana properly, you're spending thousands of dollars.
- Iguana Bite wounds - Very graphic
An iguana's bite is much worse than his bark. I cannot stress enough how important it is to socialize your iguana, spend time with him everyday and get to know his body language. Without this knowledge you have a danger in your house and a danger t
Caimans & Alligators
One would hope it'd be common sense to avoid getting a caiman or alligator as a pet, but it's important to talk about why. Alligators grow to monstrous sizes and are dangerous and unpredictable. Caimans don't grow to be quite as large as alligators, but they still get BIG and are still able to cause severe injury. Both alligators and caimans will require large pond-sized enclosures as adults, and the cost of feeding one of these reptiles would be enough to break some people's bank accounts. Most pet alligators/caimans end up dying due to neglect or improper care, or they are destroyed or euthanized because they have no home to go to once they've grown too large. The only way to care for an alligator or caiman correctly is to, again, spend thousands of dollars.
No species of monitor lizard should be kept by a beginner reptile keeper. Do you really want a mini pet Tyrannosaurus rex running around your home when you don't really know what you're doing? I don't think so. Savannah monitors, for example, can be bought at a pet store for $40-$50 as a baby, but within only a couple years it grows to be a five foot-long hissing, biting, tail-whipping carnivorous monster. Granted, if you spend massive amounts of time and energy raising it correctly, it may be tamer than that. But it'll still be a huge, powerful lizard that can injure you with a simple flick of its tail. Risk of injury aside, these giant reptiles require a diet of tiny insects like crickets, and buying massive amounts of insects get expensive very quickly. Don't forget the money you'll need to spend building a massive, monumental enclosure! Or you'll need to pay to have someone build it for you.
Tree monitors are just as complicated. They still get big and they require perfect temperature and humidity. They're not very hardy towards improper conditions and they're also little hunger machines who will eat all your money.
Any Giant Snake Species
Pythons that get large, such as rock pythons, reticulated pythons, and Burmese pythons, should be avoided by all but the most experienced and financially-stable snake keepers. These species do not tame well and are usually still quite aggressive as adults. They require enclosures the size of an entire small room in your house and are incredibly expensive to feed. The owner must also always take care around these massive snakes because they can use their 22-foot-long, heavily-muscled bodies to kill people.
Turtles and tortoises are very popular and sought-after pets. However, they are stubborn, hardy animals that do not reveal or show when they are unhealthy until it's too late. For this and many other reasons, they are not good for beginners.
The #1 homeless and sick reptile out there is probably the red ear slider, a cheap and easily-obtainable aquatic turtle. When folks buy these turtles they don't realize just how much poop turtles can produce. People are also surprised when their turtle outgrows its aquarium and needs an enclosure the size of a small pond.
Other care requirements are often very misunderstood as well. Turtles may attempt to eat the live fish you feed them but it's not what they should be fed. And even though a turtle is an aquatic species, it still requires a land area where they can leave the water and bask under a heat lamp.
Box turtles are also incredibly misunderstood. The popular species found in the hobby include the ornate box turtle, eastern box turtle, and three-toed box turtle. All three species, unless they are labelled as captive-bred by a breeder, are wild-caught and the wild populations are suffering for it. Wild-caught individuals spend their first few years in captivity stressed, and the majority of them die in captivity due to improper care. A healthy box turtle is constantly active during the day and has a huge, healthy appetite. They are very difficult to maintain, and the best way to house them is in large outdoor turtle pens. Even though they are small animals, a single turtle requires a minimum enclosure size of about eight square feet. They need an incredibly varied diet but box turtles are notorious for going on hunger strikes and holding out until they are fed their favorite "dessert foods" like strawberries… this is not healthy for them and an experienced keeper will know how to properly regulate their turtle's diet to prevent hunger strikes.
Tortoises present many of the same predicaments as turtles. They need to be provided with much more space than they are usually given, and even the smaller species found in the hobby, the Russian tortoise, requires a large enclosure called a "tortoise table" in order to thrive. Even desert species require access to humidity via deep substrate and burrows, and some species, such as the red foot tortoise, need a perfect mix of fruit, vegetable, and protein in their diet or they will begin to grow unhealthy shells (called "pyramiding").
Sulcata tortoises (also called African spurred tortoises) are widely available as babies and are sold for very cheap prices. However, this fast-growing species requires an entire giant backyard as an adult, and they never actually stop growing (good luck getting that 300-pound tortoise to do what you want it to do). And say goodbye to that lovely backyard you'll be keeping it in, because sulcatas dig massive burrows and tear up any landscaping or plants that get in their way. If they decide to dig under the fence, you'll have a giant escaped tortoise running through the streets!
Their diets are much more complicated than giving them some lettuce and hay, and when raised incorrectly, the resulting shell deformities are debilitating and completely irreversible. Also, these tortoises live for more than 100 years, so what will happen to it when you're no longer able to care for it? There are not enough zoos, sanctuaries, or rescues to help the numerous homeless sulcatas out there. Please be responsible.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my article, and I would absolutely love to hear from you! Do you have any fun stories to share about your pets? Are there any articles you'd like to see in the future? Please leave a comment or contact me. And if you have a moment, browse through my other articles.

Crasila, just so you know, bearded dragons make AMAZING pets. I have one at home!
Yeah! You're right Kim! But to be fair, they ARE easily mixed up. Btw, please don't judge my name. I know it's not the best name, but it'll do.
Are bearded dragons good for beginners?
nice info
check Non-venomous Snakes
What are good turtles to get as a beginner?
Hi I love what you wrote I would have never guessed that tortoises could grow new shells! I want a reptile and I thought a "mini Tyrannosaurus Rex" would a great until I read your artical. I've never owned a reptile berfore and I think a Carolina anole would be a good pet what do you think?
The photo at the top of your page is not a green tree python. It is an emerald tree boa. Very common misidentification.

Kingston has rather interesting DDR3 memory clocked at DDR3-1375MHz. this might be the only DDR3 memory to run at CL5 or exactly at 5-7-5-15 which might be considered as super low latency for DDR3 memory.
The memory is listed for €630 for a dual 2 GB kit and it is still not available but it should be shortly. We asked Kingston about it but we still haven't heard back, the company is still not sampling these modules at least not that we know of.
Corsair, OCZ and some other companies already talk about DDR 1800MHz but CL5 at DDR3-1375MHz is also a way to go.

Want to know the secret to marital bliss? Just ask Oregon couple Wally and Beth Christianson, who recently celebrated 70 years of marriage and opened up to a local newspaper about what makes love last a lifetime.
The Christiansons were set up by two friends at a Christmas party back in 1942. A few dances led to a few dates, which culminated in a wedding on January 14, 1944. The couple went on to have four children and eight grandchildren, the Corvallis Gazette Times reported.
So what's the secret to their success? "We both had similar backgrounds; both raised on farms. What else is there to say?" 93-year-old Wally told the Times. "We've been together since." He also said that "having mutual interests" is key.
One of those shared interests was traveling. In retirement, the couple moved from Illinois to Oregon, purchased a motor home and traveled everywhere. "We've been to all 50 states and Europe," he said.
His wife, 90-year-old Beth, had a more pragmatic view on sustaining long-term marital bliss.
"There is no key," she told the paper. "You have to work it out. Usually, you have more good times than bad."

When most people think of plastic surgery, they think of procedures that will enhance their appearance. Traditionally, that has been for women. But there is much more to the world of plastic surgery than Charlotte tummy tucks, breast augmentations and breast lifts. There a wide variety of options available for men to enhance the way they look.
It must also be stated that male plastic surgery differs a bit than female plastic surgery. Male cosmetic surgery is geared towards men and is not intended to feminize them. These procedures cater to the male body. When it comes to facial structures, men have different traits. Their brows tend to be lower than a woman's brow and the upper portion of their eyelids are weightier.
Men are also equipped with noses that are larger than women's and it is no secret that men usually have a stronger chin. The hair patterns in a typical male also vary from that of women. All of these considerations need to be taken into account during any cosmetic procedure.
liposuction in Charlotte NC, gynecomastia surgery or other type of body shaping procedures for men.
Frown lines are not limited to women as men are also susceptible to showing their age in this way. Whenever men frown, lines form in their brows and become more prominent over the course of time. These lines can give the impression that men have an unpleasant mood to them and make them seem like they are unapproachable.
Botox is a nonsurgical way for men to rid themselves of these frown lines which can make them look years younger while also making them seem more welcoming and approachable.
Another area that typically affects men as well as women is the nasolabial folds, which are actually smile lines around the mouth area. These folds tend to be a little deeper on men and a simple filler can soften their look, providing a much more inviting appearance.
If you are looking for any type of male plastic surgery, Ballantyne Plastic Surgery has a solution for you. Our team of experienced doctors can match you with a Charlotte plastic surgery procedure that will make you look years younger. Men and women can both benefit from one of our many top-notch services.
