I have made this awesome paleo granola several times now for friends, and even some of the people at the gym and everyone is astonished at how good it tastes!
Especially since there's NO sugar added to it. The vanilla and cinnamon work together beautifully to add a natural sweetness to the granola.

- 100g almonds,
- 100g walnuts,
- 100g pecans,
- 100g macadamia nuts,
- 100g unsweetened coconut flakes, (I use desiccated coconut)
- 100g sunflower seeds,
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract,
- cinnamon powder as desired
- linseeds
- chia seeds
- 100g unsweetened dried cranberries/blueberries/cherries
- Put the pecans, walnuts and almonds in a plastic food bag and use a wooden spoon or any other hard spoon to break them up a bit (don't break them up too much!).
- Mix everything apart from the fruit with the vanilla extract and cinnamon powder and bake at 140ºC for about 40 minutes (or until the coconut has browned). Make sure the mix is spread out on the tray (you will need a few trays because if it's too closely packed it won't stay dry enough and won't cook evenly). Turn the mixture after 20 mins. Remove from the oven and add the dried fruit and leave to cool, then store in a tin.
- I usually eat this with greek yoghurt with honey and some milk added, plus lots of berries (straw, rasp and blue berries - all 3 at once!), just like in my pictures. I sometimes add a spoon of almond butter on top, yum! 🙂

Stakes high as Asian qualifying reaches last games
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Five nations around the vast Asian confederation are bracing for the joy or heartbreak that is coming their way on Tuesday in the last games of continental World Cup qualification.
Only Japan has booked a berth for Brazil 2014, and the national teams from South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Australia and Oman all are hoping to secure one of the three remaining automatic spots. Two will miss out on direct entry, and then go into calculations for the Asian playoff for an intercontinental qualifier.
That would normally be enough pressure for most but the coaches of South Korea and Iran have been ratcheting up the tension with a war of words ahead of their clash at Ulsan World Cup Stadium in the southeast of the Korean peninsula.
South Korea leads Group A with 14 points, one clear of second-place Iran. Both will qualify if Uzbekistan, in third place, fails to defeat Qatar in Tashkent. The two teams are familiar foes — they have met at every Asian Cup since 1996 and four years ago, almost to the day, South Korea ended Iran's hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.
Before the qualifying match in Tehran last October, the Koreans complained about the standard of training facilities provided and coach Choi Kang-hee said at the time that Iran should be forced to train on the football pitches dotted along the Han River in Seoul for the return leg.
Immediately after South Korea's 1-0 win in Uzbekistan last Tuesday, Choi was reminded of his remarks.
"Iran did not show us good manners and they were not good hosts," he said. "I want to beat Iran regardless of the World Cup. I hope that Uzbekistan qualifies for the World Cup ahead of Iran."
Iran coach Carlos Queiroz demanded an apology from Choi and promised to hand him an Uzbekistan shirt before the game.
The "South Korea coach has said he remembers they are being badly treated in Iran but I remember we were hospitable," the former Real Madrid and Portugal coach was quoted as telling a Tehran press conference. "The South Korea coach should be ashamed of what he said. He disrespected Iranian football. I want to give him an Uzbekistan jersey before the match against them in Ulsan."
Choi, set to resign from his post on Wednesday morning, subsequently said Queiroz should get ready to watch the World Cup on television at home.
It has at least diverted some attention from the huge stakes riding on the game. The South Koreans know that a draw will be enough to qualify but will be missing a number of players including English Premier League star Ki Sung-yeung and 2012 Olympic captain Koo Ja-cheol.
In addition, senior team captain Kwak Tae-hwi picked up an injury in the Uzbekistan win and will be absent. The hosts will be looking to forward Son Heung-min, who recently signed for Bayer Leverkusen, to cause problems for Iran.
Uzbekistan needs to convincingly defeat Qatar, already eliminated and missing six regular starting players through injury or suspension, and hope that it can then finish above either Iran or Korea on goal difference and qualify for its first World Cup.
Japan has already taken top spot in Group B but Australia is in pole position for second place and is coming into form at the right time. An impressive 4-0 win over Jordan in Melbourne last Tuesday followed a 1-1 draw in Japan and means that the Socceroos can qualify for a third successive World Cup with a win over bottom team Iraq in Sydney. Even a defeat will be sufficient if Oman, in third, fails to win away at fourth-place Jordan.
With Iraq already eliminated and without just-retired stars of the 2007 Asian Cup triumph Younis Mahmoud and Nashat Akram, the odds heavily favor the injury and suspension-free Australians, who will be backed by a sell-out crowd of 80,000. But captain Lucas Neill is taking nothing for granted.
"The atmosphere's been very low-key in a positive way," said the former English Premier League star. "It's very calm. The manager and the senior players have made sure no one's talking about dancing the samba. Nobody's in Brazil yet. We need one game, one win. Then we can start thinking about all the dreams coming true."
The game at Sydney 2000 Olympic stadium takes place hours before Oman is in action against Jordan in Amman. An Australian failure to win would mean that fans Down Under would have to wait hours to see if Oman can take three points and second spot.
For those who miss out, there is another route to Brazil. The third-place teams from Group A and B will meet in an Asian playoff in September for the right to take on a South American team in a final decider with a place in Brazil at stake.
Jordan is realistically out of the running for an automatic spot but will be satisfied with third. To do so, it will have to defeat Oman, and then look forward to a playoff with Uzbekistan, South Korea or Iran, none of which will be happy to be there.

Having a significant other on board with your classic machine dreams always makes things go a lot easier. A surefire result is it allows them to participate in the cruising fun, giving you more seat time on the open road, which is exactly where any enthusiast wants to be.
Jerry Bertram has a wife who took some time to come around to see the cool in his Pontiac passions.
"For over 30 years, I've always loved the looks of the GTOs and wanted to have one myself. On the other hand, my wife has never liked them. Whenever we would see one, it always happened to be a green or gold one and she would say, 'What an ugly car!'"
Apparently all it took was a simple color change for her Goat repugnance to melt away.
"When I took her to see this black 1969 GTO convertible, she immediately fell in love. Whenever you can get your wife to love a classic car you want to buy, that's the best kind of deal!"
Jerry bought his fully restored drop-top in the winter of 2011 after locating it his home state of Illinois. "The previous owner competed a restoration on it 5 years earlier. In that time, they only put 410 miles on it. It was barely broken in."
In addition to its flawless appearance, Jerry was drawn to its unusual pedigree. "It's one of 339 convertibles made in 1969 with a factory four speed and factory air conditioning."
Despite the low production numbers, Jerry insists the only way to enjoy his Detroit bruiser is by keeping it in motion. "I bought it to drive it – no trailer queens for me. Like most older cars the more you drive them, they better they are."
Underhood is the factory 400ci V8, rated at 350 horsepower. Stock four-wheel drums, hidden behind red line tires, bring the muscle machine to a halt. Other equipment on board the ragtop are four-wheel drums, headrests, power steering and an AM radio.
"Driving the old cars are so different – you step on the gas and they just take off. It's much more fun than any modern vehicle. This GTO has fairly loud mufflers on it which makes you feel all the more different from the guy next to you on the highway or on the other side of you. You really stand out."
Despite our recent bout of sweltering summer heat, the Bertrams still get in their classic black beauty, fire up the engine and take to the streets.
"It's really an excellent car – everything inside and out is A1 – but truly the best part is a wife who loves it and loves driving it. Even in the hot weather when I want to leave the top up and turn on the ice-cold air, she insists on putting it down and letting the breeze blow in."
Sounds like our kind of woman.

Leading American scholars and practitioners of Islam said yesterday that Osama bin Laden had twisted and debased Muslim theology in a videotaped statement in which he called on "every Muslim" to "rush to make his religion victorious" by emulating those who attacked the United States on Sept. 11.
Ingrid Mattson, a professor of Islamic studies and Muslim-Christian relations at Hartford Seminary in Hartford, said there was no basis in Islamic law or sacred text for Mr. bin Laden's remarks.
"The basic theological distortion is that any means are permitted to achieve the end of protesting against perceived oppression," said Dr. Mattson, a practicing Muslim.
"Islamic law is very clear: terrorism is not permitted," she added. "Even in a legitimate war — even if Osama bin Laden were a legitimate head of state, which he's not — you're not permitted to indiscriminately kill civilians, just to create terror in the general population."
Mr. bin Laden's comments were broadcast in Arabic yesterday by Al Jazeera television in Qatar, soon after American and British forces began military strikes against Afghanistan.Continue reading the main story
While he did not take credit for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Mr. bin Laden described those who executed the assaults as "vanguards of Islam" whom "God blessed."
He also invoked God's name in vowing that "neither America nor the people who live in it will dream of security" until "the infidel armies" have vacated Israel and the Arab world.
Of America and its allies, Mr. bin Laden said, "May God show them his wrath and give them what they deserve."
Dr. Faroque Khan, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Long Island in Westbury, N.Y., said Mr. bin Laden's militant interpretation of the Koran and other sacred texts was not consistent with "my understanding."
"Islam teaches very clearly that you don't harm the innocent," Dr. Khan said. "His is the view of one person sitting somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan. It doesn't affect the views of law-abiding citizens, Americans in the United States.
"No Muslims in America are going to rise up in response."
Dr. Maher Hathout, senior adviser of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, an organization based in Los Angeles that seeks to explain Islam to the wider American population, said the Koran permitted "anyone to call on God for anything."
That said, Dr. Hathout added, "It is for the Almighty to make the judgment of whether to act."
The half-dozen clerics and scholars interviewed said that even if they had been critical of the American policies that so inflamed Mr. bin Laden, like United States support for Israel, there was no way to rationalize the violent course that he was advocating.
"There is no justification in turning your anger and frustration in one part of the world against civilians in another," said Imam Fawaz Damra, the director of the Islamic Center of Cleveland.
Those interviewed said the Koran's prohibition against the killing of the innocent could prove thorny if civilian lives were lost in the American and British attacks on Afghanistan. But they said they nonetheless considered the American response justified.
"We wish there had been a diplomatic resolution to the crisis," Dr. Khan said. "But we are squarely behind the American leadership in getting the perpetrators of this crime to justice."Continue reading the main story

"Without doubt the best jam I have ever tasted. I am not a fan of jam usually, but I got some as a gift and am now hooked. Its a jar full of fruit! Their relishes and chutneys are fantastic as well. They give a boring meal or sandwich a real kick. I love adding flavour to food and can't find fault with any of Berry King's products - except sometimes it's hard to find."

The First UK Election Debate: My Thoughts
So, the first ever televised Prime-Ministerial debate has been and gone. ITV broadcast the 90 minute show last night (15th April 2010) to massive reaction and commentary on social networking sites, television and I'm sure in the newspapers this morning. The polls all seem to indicate a significant victory for the Liberal Democrat's Prime-Ministerial candidate, Nick Clegg, and I for one agree that he had by far the best showing of the three on the night. The question that is left echoing round in my head, though, is "Will it make any difference?".
More than Gordon Brown, and certainly more than Conservative candidate David Cameron, Clegg looked comfortable and even confident very quickly behind his podium. He conducted himself with grace and poise, and actually came close to really answering the questions - Not something we are necessarily used to from our politicians!
In a fashion rather reminiscent of American Election politics, the "Senior party members" rolled out by each party as spokespeople for the BBC's Question Time programme, which began shortly after the debate came to a close, were well briefed by their advisors and campaign bods to focus on their man's best talking points, and the "spin" was in full swing throughout this programme. Each of the three main parties were represented, and all attempting to spin their leader's performance to appear better, or less of a disappointment, than it was. This side of campaigning, and politics in general, most of us could probably do without. The endless posturing gets rather tiresome after a while, but unfortunately that is a side-effect of party politics.
The Liberal Democrats will, quite rightly, feel that last night was a good night for them. They have been handed a poor performance by David Cameron to attack, and Gordon Brown has the burden of having to defend 13 years of Labour policy - Not an easy proposition in the current political climate. Admittedly, with virtually no expectation on his shoulders, as by far the least well-known of the three candidates, Nick Clegg had an easy ride in the first debate. It was in the interests of neither Gordon Brown, nor David Cameron, to launch an attack against a candidate and a party which they both would presumably have considered only as an afterthought up to this point, and maybe as a possible ally in the event of a hung parliament. In fact, there were large periods of time up on the stage during which Cameron and Brown appeared to forget that there was a third person up there with them as they fell back in to the all-too-familiar cycle of back-biting and one-upmanship. Clegg though, to his credit, maintained his composure and continued to make his point clearly and concisely throughout the debate. His performance, combined with the lack of any weight of expectation upon him, will undoubtedly propel him into the public eye in today's newspapers. The real challenge will come in the next two debates where the public, and perhaps more importantly, the media, will have high expectations for him to acquit himself every bit as well as he did last night.
The problem, though, is that the Liberal Democrats have long been a party that we as a country love to love, but have been somewhat reluctant to actually cast a vote for. I remember back in the 1990s when Paddy Ashdown was leader of the LibDems - He was perhaps the most popular politician in the country, but still only comparatively very small numbers would vote for his party in a general election. In my opinion, this boils down in large part to the fact that we as the British public still have this misconception that the LibDems are the third party in a two party system. Nick Clegg came out in this debate and clearly made a concerted effort to convince us that his party are indeed a viable option, and to that end, I feel that he did well. I will be very interested to see how his opponents respond in the next debate - Clearly some changes need to be made to limit the damage the LibDems must be doing to their potential vote counts.
If nothing else, this debate has thrown the election at the publics' feet, has widened the field, and has even shown that, whilst it may lack that certain "shiny" quality that only comes from American politics, British politics can, indeed, be interesting. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to pay attention in the weeks leading to the impending election.

He produced hundreds of bananas,
and that's not all...
The Banana Man was a vaudeville clown who performed a surreal prop act with comedy gags, magic, costume changes and hundreds of bananas being produced from a coat.
Adolf Proper, who went by the stage name A. Robins, was the original Banana Man. He created all the props for his act, and later ran his own children's toy company. In the first video below, he performs his routine in a 1939 short film by Red Skelton called Seeing Red. He died in 1950.
The quality's not the greatest, so you have to watch carefully to see all the gags.
The original Banana Man, A. Robins (Adolf Proper)
Another performer, Sam Levine, carried on the Banana Man tradition. Here he performs on the children's TV show Captain Kangaroo in 1969.

Carpet Cleaners NYC provides Rug, Upholstery and Carpet Cleaning Service in New York, NY; (212) 518-2471
Rugs that arent well-maintained will eventually lose their distinct color. Its only a matter of time when that rug of yours will be covered by soil and grime. What can make the situation even more difficult is that the dirt and grime can soak deep through the rug fibers. In situations like this, we all wish that we had a self-cleaning rug. For this and other similar situations, we.. will need to depend on companies that offer professional rug cleaning services.
Rug problems like spills, pet wastes and other damages happen all the time. Many rugs have a stain-resistant treatment that does not allow the spill to be absorbed into the rug right away, giving you a few minutes to start taking action. However, this doesnt mean that you can just leave it there and do nothing about it. Your rug should be cleaned at least twice a week. Your precious rugs need to be cleaned the proper way, so you should at least get an idea of how to do it right. This is why you will need the services of professional cleaners. Rug should be cleaned frequently and properly.
If you own specific types of rugs, such as handmade Persian and Oriental rugs, antique rugs, as well as modern rugs, youll also need expert help. Always keep in mind that the more expensive a rug, the more delicate it is. And of course, the more fragile the rug, the more you should think of hiring a professional rug cleaner to handle your cleaning problems. Many certified rug cleaners provide home service for rugs that are too big or too heavy to take into their shops. At Oriental Rug Care NY, we will be happy to take care of your rugs, and it doesnt matter whether theyre Persian, Oriental, or the ordinary ones.
Our company has been in the business for 37 years. The specialized rug cleaners of Oriental Rug Care NY are trained extensively to cleanse those grime and dirt out of your carpets and rugs. Aside from rug cleaning, we are also skilled and adept in the following services: carpet cleaning, carpet and rug dyeing, stain and odor removal, and fire and flood damage restoration among others.

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the correct operation of the secondary ignition circuit within a distributor-style ignition system via the King Lead. The secondary ignition voltage reveals the dwell period, peak firing voltage, burn time, and coil oscillations during engine run conditions.
Connection for diagnostic work will vary dependent on application.
Technicians should whenever possible gain access to the test circuit without damage to seals and insulation. If this is not possible then make sure appropriate repairs are completed.
General connection advice
PicoScope offers a range of options within the test kits.
Dependent on difficulty of access, choose from:
Testing sensors and actuators (to include relevant circuit/connectors):
Uninsulated HT pickups are designed to clip around double-insulated HT cables only – they are not designed for direct connection to a hazardous live voltage. To prevent injury or death, switch off the engine and secure against restart. Clean and inspect the HT lead for damage to insulation and fit only to undamaged fully insulated leads. Ensure that leads are safely clear of hot and / or rotating parts. The engine can now be restarted for the test duration.
Plug a high-tension secondary ignition pick-up lead into Channel A on the PicoScope, clip the lead's fly lead on a suitable earth and clip the HT clip onto to the coil lead (king lead). For previous engine analyser users there may be a noticeable difference in the waveform pattern and plug kV readings when checking the coil lead and the individual plug leads.
Figure 1 shows the HT pick-up lead connected to the distributor coil lead.
Warning: When attaching or removing secondary ignition pickups from damaged HT leads, there is a danger of electric shock. To avoid this risk, attach and remove the secondary ignition pickup with the ignition turned off.
Although it is possible to use two HT pick-ups and produce a secondary parade waveform, triggered by cylinder number 1 (using Channel B), without the aid of a 720° trigger the timebase will need to be constantly altered to view the correct number of cylinders. It is far easier to look at the individual plug lead HT waveforms and identify any discrepancies from this information.
The ignition secondary picture shown in the example waveform is a typical picture from an engine fitted with electronic ignition. The waveform has been taken from the coil lead king lead.
The secondary waveform shows the length of time that the HT is flowing across the spark plug electrode after the initial peak of voltage required to jump the plug gap. This time is referred to as either the burn time or spark duration. The illustration shows that the horizontal voltage line in the centre of the oscilloscope is at fairly constant voltage of approximately 4 KV which then drops sharply into what is referred to as the coil oscillation period.
The coil oscillation period should display a minimum of 4 to 5 peaks counting both upper and lower. A loss of peaks indicates that the coil needs replacing. The next event in the pattern is referred to as the negative polarity peak and produces a small oscillation in the opposite direction to the plug firing voltage. This is due to the initial switching on of the coil primary current. The voltage within the coil is only released at the correct point of ignition, and the HT spark ignites the air/fuel mixture.
The plug firing voltage is the voltage required to jump the gap at the plug electrode and is indicated as plug KV.
Situated within the coil primary winding is the secondary winding. This winding is coiled around a multi-laminated iron core and has approximately 20,000 to 30,000 turns. One end is connected to the primary terminal and the other to the coil tower.
The HT voltage is produced by mutual induction between the primary winding and the secondary winding. The central soft iron core intensifies the magnetic field between them.
On a distributor system, the secondary HT voltage produced by the coil is allocated to the appropriate spark plug via the contacts inside the distributor cap.
The voltage measured at the spark plug is the voltage required to jump the plug gap in varying conditions, and is determined by any of the following:
|The plug KV will be increased by:
|The plug KV will be decreased by:
|Large plug gaps
|Small plug gaps
|A large rotor air gap
|Low compression
|A break in a plug lead
|Rich mixture
|A break in the king lead
|Incorrect ignition timing
|Worn spark plugs
|Tracking to earth
|A lean mixture
|Fouled plugs
|Rotor to reluctor misalignment
The plug KV requirement of older engines tends to be lower than that of the modern engine, as the later designs run higher compression ratios, leaner air/fuel ratios and larger spark plug gaps.
The modern engine with Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) has all the advantages of a constant-energy electronic ignition system, but with the added bonus that the distributor cap, king lead and rotor arm are eliminated from the system. Reliability problems from dampness and tracking are now almost eliminated.
DIS has its own drawbacks by having half of the plugs firing with a normal negative voltage, while the other half are fired by the less acceptable positive polarity. This has the effect of pronounced plug wear on the positive fired plugs.
This system, because of its nature, fires the plugs each revolution, instead of every other, and is known as a wasted spark system. This does not mean that the plugs wear at twice the normal rate, as the wasted spark is on the exhaust stroke, and is therefore under no compression. If the spark plugs are removed after several thousand miles and examined, two of the plugs will be found to have relatively square electrodes, while the plugs that have been fired positive will have pronounced plug wear.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. We hope you've made your dinner reservations and date plans for your special someone or group of friends if you're celebrating SAD (Single Awareness Day). Either way, M.I.S.S. is here to make sure you do so in style with a magnetic bow perfect to prep up your wardrobe without worrying about getting holes on your shirt (pins tend to do this) or whether or not you know how to tie a bow (even with youtube, this can still be a little tricky). Afterall, Ears on the street is that the prep look is definitely IN!
Materials Needed:
– Fabric (12.5×3.5 inches)
– Batting (9×2.5 inches)
– Glue gun
– Glue sticks
– Scissors
– 2 Magnets (Can also use 1 magnet and a thin metal piece as a backing. Make sure it sticks to the magnet)
STEP 1: Lay Fabric flat, wrong side up. Fold your batting in half and put it on top of the fabric.
STEP 2: Using your glue gun, glue both sides of the fabric over the batting.
STEP 3: Fold and glue the fabric at the 2 inch mark. From the point of where you glued the end, measure another 2 inches and fold and glue the fabric again.
STEP 4: Using the leftover fabric, wrap it around to create a bow and glue the ends. Cut any excess fabric. Make sure to cinch the middle to create a better shape. And finally, glue a magnet at the back of the bow.
TO WEAR: Using the second magnet, put it in the back of your garment where you plan to place your bow. Get creative! Use it as a pin or a bow for your button up. It's an easy way to look spiffy and dolled up for your Valentine's date and all year round. Enjoy!

Danny doesn`t want to go to school. The 9-year-old seems happy and well- adjusted in almost every other way. He is close to his family and he enjoys roller skating, bike riding and other outdoor sports. He is warm and affectionate, with a sweet, earnest nature. But he is paralyzed with anxiety about what will happen to him -- and to his parents -- while he is in school.
``He`s afraid we`re not going to be there when he gets back,`` says his mother. ``We don`t know why -- we never gave him any reason to think we would abandon him.``
Danny isn`t alone in experiencing these fears. As many as 10 percent of school-age children are afflicted with ``school phobia`` at some time, says Dr. Rachel Gittelman, director of psychiatry at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
School phobia is actually a form of separation anxiety, a normal phenomenon that temporarily affects children at about 2 years of age, making them fearful and anxious when separated from their parents. When it persists past about age 5, it can become serious. If it is not treated, it may affect their ability to function as normal adults.
``We don`t really know what causes it, but it seems to run in families,`` Gittelman says. ``The families these kids come from tend to be very close-knit and caring. There`s a lot of contact with relatives. The parents are usually very attached to their own parents.``
``It`s not like other situations where the parents are troubled, either drinking or neglecting the kids. These people are the salt of the earth.``
Gittelman and colleague Dr. Harold Koplewicz oversee a program at the New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia Presbyterian that provides free psychiatric treatment for children with school phobia and for their parents. Most kids improve after a month of therapy, Koplewicz says. Those that don`t improve are given medication to relieve their anxiety.

— Nissan is recalling over 2,500 model year 2013 NV200 compact cargo vans because of wiring problems that could cause the van to die on the road.
Nissan says the wiring harness that connects the fusible link to the battery fuse terminal is placed in a bad place on the van. If protective coating on the wires wears off, the exposed wires could touch a bracket that holds the fusible link and cause a short circuit. That could result in a blown battery terminal fuse and would disable the fuel pump and cause the engine to stop.
The recall should begin in the middle of December, 2013. Nissan dealers will inspect and reposition the wiring harness and apply a protective covering to the harness.
NV200 owners can contact Nissan at 800-647-7261.

The Totemic Ngarakbal and Githabal sites are [naturally] named with Ngarakbal and Githabal's dialect linguistics…This ancient language identifies the names of the totemic ancestral creators…the names of the 'Skin's…the names from the Bootheram [Dreaming Lores] …
Lore, Language and Land are linked…and should never be changed.
"The Birds gave us our language….. We are the Bird Tribes"….Marlene Boyd – Ngarakbal
Claiming by Renaming
Contemporary Academics have stealthily placed the Ngarakbal into an administrative pidgeonholed dialect classification of the 'Bundjalung'…and refer to it as a Nation….when culturally Bundjalung [proper] was a tribal clan of the Widgibil.
There is NO Evidence within the early Ethno-historical records to support the contemporary governance concept of a cultural bloc now promoted as 'BUNDJALUNG NATION' being associated with this area of Australia, or of a Tribal group known as the BUNDJALUNG ever having any access or 'rights' to either the Ngarakbal or it's marriage clan the Githabal Tribal Estates.
The incorrect placement of the Ngarakbal and it's associated moieties has caused much unneeded confusion, frustration and suffering within the communites…but it has a foundation of political law that was used to claim the Continent of Australia…
This commenced when Major Thomas Mitchell the first surveyor General of NSW, under orders from the Crown to establish a claim of proprietorship over the then most distance and elusive parts of the continent was ordered to do on land what Captain James Cook had done from the sea…to go out and map and NAME all the major geographical features…
Mapping and naming were the prerequisite functions, before the action of tilling the soil, for the British to legally claim this continent. And so Mitchell went out to map and name and thus takes legal possession of the continent of Australia. The crown gave explicate orders for the Aboriginal names to be used…it did this for the very important legal reason of establishing TENURE over Terra Nullus, the unclaimed east coast of New Holland, as Australia was then known.
As Mitchell stated….."The great convenience in using native names is obvious…so long as any of the Aborigines can be found in the neighbourhood…future travellers may verify my map. Whereas new names are of no use in this respect….."…..
Thus by using the Aboriginal names…the British could prove their legal tenure over the lands….and more importantly it was a subtle way of partially satisfying the need to claim moral proprietorship over an alien land with pre-existing occupiers…by naming places with their Aboriginal name, the British were taking the Aboriginal name for their own just as they were taking the land for their own…Similarly the taking of Aboriginal names deepened those links to the new landscape while at the same time according a superficial respect to the Aborigines who's name it was…[D Day – Claiming A Continent 2003]
Today the same thing is happening…the UN is [seemingly] funding the renaming of Australian geographical place names…and this process appears to be now dispossessing the British [Crown] tenure of Australia by selling off the crown properties; and further dispossess ancestral Aboriginal moieties by using the Aboriginal Lands Councils against them in much the same process as the Native Police was used before.
Created in 1848 the Native Police were a typical product of ruthless frontier pragmatism. The aim was simple: set an Aboriginal person to kill an Aboriginal person…..Mathews; Landscapes of Change Vol1: Ch4:21
To hasten this claim to legal proprietorship of the continent the crown and the parliament gave the order for the Native Police Magistrates to collect the language and names of the sites in the region…the Native Police had been sent to operate in the Tweed and Woodenbong cross border regions from 1849….for 30 years, until 1879, the Native Police had one order…to disperse the Aboriginals, for the coming of the pioneer settler [and enforce the proprietorship of the crown over the gold fields]. …But more on that later….

The crux of Hal's work was painting portraits commissioned by patrons around Haarlem and he spent much of his time painting individuals and group portraits for the affluent classes. However, Hals liked to depict people from all walks of life in his native Haarlem and in doing so he gave a very unique and clear perception of Dutch society during the 17th century.
Frans Hals
Unlike many traditional Baroque artists, Hals did not paint completely objectively. He would create an atmosphere and a different sense of composure for each subject to convey a true sense of self in his paintings. In this way he would accentuate not only their status in society through various symbolic gestures and dress but also portray features of the sitter that made them human. Furthermore, was noted for his bright pictures and he seemed to love the vivid sheens and clarity of images in daylight.Frans Hal's first private works were of the ordinary society of Haarlem. The earliest one noted is of
Cheap Sale From UK Cheap New Arrival Gentle Souls Rory Black Suede Cheap Outlet Buy Online Authentic Buy For Sale 27zW3
and playing. He would use these free subjects as a means of practice for his intense draughtmanship and painting style. The 'tavern' or lower classes were not limited in their expressions like the upper classes were and through these subjects that Hals could find new ways of creating and defining character in his subjects. Characterization: Creating and defining character would become part of Hals' oeuvre and make him a very popular artist among the Dutch public who deemed his style somewhat revolutionary.Hals' tendency to break away from tradition can be seen in his work Catharina Hooft with her Nurse . The artist enjoyed painting children as they are most susceptible to expressing their true selves without inhibitions. Besides facial expressions, Hals would also put his subjects in positions that would best accentuate them and entice a sort of narrative. He would do this for his group portraits whereby each subject was depicted individually to capture the true spirit of the group. Painting style: Frans Hal's palette and paint products would contain a range of pastos, impastos, and carmines and he blended sharp and vivid colors. He used warm tones mainly for his subjects' flushed faces and his various multi-layering techniques.In his early works Hals would use paint much more freely and it could be seen by his vivid brush strokes and bold use of soft ochres and broad lines of pastille colors to show light breaking in upon texture.In the middle years of his career Hals's palette was much more limited. He no longer used color to define their presence in the image but rather to define tones upon objects and clothing in intricate detail. Color was less bold and had a less dashing presence than in earlier works where they had more volume and luster.As Hals continued to create new ways of expressing his subject matter and developing his painting style, his palette became darker and his colors continued to make a meager presence. This could be due to the artist's financial difficulties during this time, as it coincided with his bakery debt. Thus, good paints became something of a luxury purchase.After 1655, Hals seems to completely indulge in black tones as dark shadows dominate his works and override the subject matter. This was most likely due to the sober dress of his protestant sitters rather than a personal preference.
method can be used to asynchronously transfer a small amount of data over to a web server.
The method returns if the user agent is able to successfully queue the for transfer, Otherwise it returns .
This method addresses the needs of analytics and diagnostics code that typically attempts to send data to a web server prior to the unloading of the document. Sending the data any sooner may result in a missed opportunity to gather data. However, ensuring that the data has been sent during the unloading of a document is something that has traditionally been difficult for developers, because user agents typically ignore asynchronous s made in an handler.
To solve this problem, analytics and diagnostics code have historically made a synchronous call in an or event handler to submit the data. The synchronous blocks the process of unloading the document, which in turn causes the next navigation appear to be slower. There is nothing the next page can do to avoid this perception of poor page load performance, and the result is that the user perceives that the new web page is slow to load, even though the true issue is with the previous page.
There are other workaround techniques which have been used to ensure that this kind of data is submitted. One such technique is to delay the unload in order to submit data by creating an element and setting its attribute within the unload handler. As most user agents will delay the unload to complete the pending image load, data can be submitted during the unload. Another technique is to create a no-op loop for several seconds within the unload handler to delay the unload and submit data to a server.
Not only do these techniques represent poor coding patterns, some of them are unreliable and all of them result in the perception of poor page load performance for the next navigation.
The following example shows a theoretical analytics code that attempts to submit data to a server by using a synchronous in an unload handler. This results in the unload of the page to be delayed.
This is where comes in. By using the method, the data is transmitted asynchronously to the web server when the User Agent has an opportunity to do so, without delaying the unload or affecting the performance of the next navigation. This solves all of the problems with submission of analytics data: the data is sent reliably, it's sent asynchronously, and it doesn't impact the loading of the next page. In addition, the code is actually simpler to write than any of these other techniques!
The following example shows a theoretical analytics code pattern that submits data to a server using the method.

Defense may have not led to the 49ers prevailing over the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants during this past season's NFC Championship Game, but it kept San Francisco in the game.
It kept them in every game.
That was why, during this offseason, 49ers general manager Trent Baalke made every effort to retain the possible free agents that made up the vaunted squad of ball-snatchers and hard hitters.
"It just shows the confidence the organization has in this defense, just bringing everybody back," cornerback Tarell Brown said Tuesday as the team continues its offseason workouts. "Anytime you have 11 guys — 11 starters — come back from an offseason like that, it's special. They're really buying into what we're doing."
What the 49ers did last year was only end eight seasons of misery behind one of the best — and at times surprising — defenses in the league. Of the 32 teams, San Francisco ranked second in points allowed, fourth in yards allowed per game and tied for second in interceptions, among other things.
Carlos Rogers and Dashon Goldson often times acted as the anchors of the 49ers' secondary. Both recorded six picks apiece during the regular season, with Goldson notching one more in the postseason. And their teammate Brown, entering his second year as a starter, hopes to top them all.
Brown recently publicly stated he wants to lead the league in interceptions this year, a proposition that seemed more fantasy than reality before. But he finished last year with four, all of those coming in the final four weeks of the regular season. Last year's league leaders had seven.
"I dropped four picks last year," he said. "Easily."
But the self-imposed wager, Brown insists, applies no added pressure to the five-year veteran.
"Pressure is only when you're not prepared, I'm prepared for every situation," Brown said. "I've trained myself hard. I put more pressure on myself than anybody could ever put on me."
But success can result in being targeted. And that's something a new acquisition in the 49ers' secondary expects this upcoming year.
"From the job they did last year, it was great," said cornerback Perrish Cox, who was signed in March. "You can't look past this defense at all. Not even just defense, the whole team. Of course there's a target on us, but hopefully we'll keep this going."
Cox, who the Denver Broncos drafted in 2010 out of Oklahoma State and then released in 2011, recently returned to the field after being sidelined due to legal troubles in Colorado.
"Whatever [the coaches] saw in [me], I'm coming to give it my all," Cox said.
If San Francisco hopes for a repeat of its 2011 defensive prowess, everybody will need to give it their all.
"We know what we did last year," Brown said. "But last year is last year. And this year is a new year, and we have to redefine ourselves as a defense and as a team."

In case you didn't know, Haro makes more than just 20-inch bikes for the likes of Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist to do amazing feats of acrobatics while flying through the air. They make mountain bikes too.
For the 2013 model year, Haro will roll out its Flightline Carbon 29 series (or FLC29 for short), named for a now defunct trail network near the Carlsbad, Calif., airport. What Haro was going for with the FLC 29 was a 29-inch ride that handled more like a 26. Smooth rolling yet nimble.
(Editor's note: Gotta call you out on this one, Haro. "Handle like a 26?" We thought that cliche was finally dead and buried. We don't want to ride a 26-inch hardtail. Besides, we want bikes that ride like great bikes, wheelsize be damned. Ok, off my soapbox.)
The sub-3lbs. frame is made from T-700 modulous carbon fiber and boasts a tapered head tube and a super beefy down tube.
The $3,500 FLC 29 Pro model is spec'd with a Shimano XT crankset and shifter and Deore XT derailuer and brakes. It also comes with Rock Shox SID RL 100mm fork with Push Lock, which allows you to lock out the fork with the push of a button mounted on the handlebars.
The shifters and brakes performed admirably running through the gears well, and the Rock Shox SID RL soaked up everything I ran it over, even with my less than elegant navigating.
Though much more aggressive of a bike then I'm used to riding, the FLC29 wasn't uncomfortable. The carbon frame is as stiff as anything I've ever ridden but wasn't off-putting. Climbing was a breeze with the fork locked out and the rigidity of the frame lending a firm platform for pedaling. Down hill and through corners the FLC29 did well. I can't come up with anything noteworthy for or against the FLC29. In my opinion, it's just a solid ride. I think on familiar trails, or in race conditions this bike could be pushed to the limits without batting an eye.
Overall I had a good time on the FLC29 and I think Haro has achieved the desired effect, a smooth rolling yet nimble ride. If the $3,500 entry fee is a little rich for your blood, check out the Comp or Expert models, $1900 and $2,400, respectively. That gets you the same quality carbon frame, with a slightly less bling build.

Features | Written by Ed Fortune 01/03/2014
Interview: Jake Thornton | DREADBALL XTREME
Jake Thornton is the game designer responsible for the likes of Lost Patrol and DeadZone. His latest game, DreadBall Xtreme, is currently on Kickstarter and is a sequel to the very popular future sports boardgame, DreadBall. We caught up with him to find out more.
Starburst: Tell us about DreadBall Xtreme.
Jake Thornton: DreadBall is the board game version of the eponymous futuristic sport. This is played in massive arenas under the bright lights of the media and a watching crowd of hundreds of millions across many worlds. On the pitch, two teams try to carry or throw the ball past their opponents in order to score in one of 3 strike zones. If one team ever gains a 7-point lead then they win immediately by a landslide.
DreadBall Xtreme aka DBX is the dark side of that sport. Shying away from corporate sponsorship and publicity in general, this is the DreadBall equivalent of illegal boxing or street racing. It is organized by dubious characters from the criminal underworld known as sponsors, and features a wide array of both human and alien players that are, to say the least, a little different to the famous names of the major leagues who are familiar from their endorsements of breakfast cereals and sports cars.
With no referee to enforce the normal rules, Xtreme is far more violent than the main arena version of DreadBall. Some teams try to win by simply wiping out their opponents, others try to win by a landslide before they are battered to death, still more aim for a balance between these opposite ends of the spectrum. As sponsors can hire almost anyone (for a price) the teams contain a wide and ever-changing mix of all the many races from the Warpath universe.
Why does DreadBall need an extreme edition?
DreadBall has always needed its Dark Side! From the very outset we had two versions of the game in mind, and the only reason we didn't launch this when we did the first Kickstarter was that the campaign didn't get far enough to make it all at once. In fact, the very last thing we did on that first Kickstarter was a character from DBX who has since become something of a mascot for the company: Blaine.
How different is it from sports board games of the eighties?
I've never been much of a sports fan, strange as that may sound, so I didn't play many of them. I was aware of a few real world simulations from Avalon Hill like good old Statis Pro Football and the like, but I never got round to playing them. The big player in the fictional sports board game arena was always Blood Bowl from Games Workshop, which I did play. That came out in the mid-80s and has dominated the thinking of this genre of games ever since, running through several editions.
Comparisons between DreadBall and Blood Bowl were so inevitable that I wrote an article on my blog about this called the elephant in the room which was ready when the game went live. It's both a fair and obvious question and we had to consider it properly. In fact, if you've played both games then it's apparent that there's nothing much they share in terms of how they work. Beyond them both being fictional sports games they have little in common.
One often cited difference is the speed with which DreadBall plays. Blood Bowl is a fine game, but it is often criticized as being quite slow. This depends a lot on the players, of course, and perhaps this slowness is more perceived than real, but it's certainly not the case with DreadBall. That sense of speed and movement was a core image when I designed the game. Think about it as moving like the most hectic of ice hockey matches, but without any time outs or pauses. That's what I was aiming for. Even when the ball is relaunched after a successful strike the game never resets – they just launch the ball into the arena with the players carrying on from wherever they might have been when the strike was made. And the game rages on.
How different is it from the previous game?
The balance between familiarity and change has been the main challenge of this design. On the one hand you don't want to mess too much with a game that people like. On the other hand, there's no point in designing a new game if it's just the same as the old one. Where to pitch that balance?
The concept of DBX has been in the background since the start, with a brief mention of it in the core rules of the first DreadBall game. We always intended to make it a separate game and so I've had the time to quietly put ideas away in a notebook throughout the development of the first DreadBall game and beyond. Now I've come back to revisit those notes and expand on them.
So how different is it? Well the core mechanics that move your players about the pitch and determine the success of slamming your opponents or throwing the ball remain the same. There's no need to reinvent those just for the sake of doing so. This means that we have a solid system at the heart of the game which we know works and that people like. It also means that existing players of DreadBall can move from one game to the other fairly easily.
The main differences are driven by the background story that underpins this variant of the game: the ad-hoc nature of the pitches and the dodgy sponsors that run the teams.
The playing area of a normal DreadBall pitch is the same every time. With DBX they can't guarantee that. The area they can find to play in might have concrete pillars down the middle, or rows of crates obliquely across the middle. This means that the board has a number of different set ups to pick from. It also means that the board has more than just your team and the opponent's on it: there are obstacles to dodge round too. Taking the illegal and violent tendencies of the people organizing this into account, some of these obstacles are also booby trapped with explosives, just to liven things up a bit.
The main arena version of DreadBall is a highly organized sport with a great deal of corporate sponsorship for individual players and teams alike. Teams like the Trontek 29ers and Greenmoon Smackers are household names that every school kid knows. Even if individual players change the team remains. In DreadBall Xtreme there are no teams in this sense. The sponsors give the sport an equivalent permanency, with The Warden or Blaine being known to everyone in the circuit. The players they hire tend to come from groups that are familiar to them and in which they have contacts they can use. With the Warden's many years in the penal service he knows just which lock-ups to search for potential recruits, and who to bribe to get them released for an afternoon's game. Blaine is a criminal of interplanetary reputation (and warrants) who can call on a wide variety of dubious alien characters. Recently he has made his name with teams comprised mainly of Asterian pirates, and this has become something of a signature.
As hiring players in DBX is largely about money, a sponsor can theoretically hire almost anyone. This contrasts strongly with DreadBall where teams can only draw from a narrow pool. Whether this extra choice is exciting or overwhelming depends on you as a gamer, but it is very different.
DeadZone is very much a cross between a board game and skirmish game. Where does this new game lie between those two types of game?
It's very much a board game. A board game that uses finely sculpted and made miniatures as playing pieces, but a board game all the same.
What single game have you designed that you'd love to give the Xtreme treatment too?
I don't think the other games I've designed need it. When I design games I try to make something that reflects the movie in my head, and while it's fun to come back to a game and see how it can be tweaked, it's only relevant here because that was the plan all along. DreadBall needs its evil twin to tell the whole story. Other games are complete as they are.
Would you ever do another version of Lost Patrol?
I'd very much like to. I did ask Games Workshop about this some years ago and it seems to have fallen in between two stools in terms of licensing, so it's unfortunately not very likely. That said, I'm sure it could be done if there was a will to on their part. I'd certainly be happy to. I've even been writing the odd expansion on my blog in the meantime.
Are tabletop games the next big thing?
No, I don't think so. Tabletop games (in the sense of both board games and wargames) offer a type of face-to-face interaction with real people that is impossible to replicate with digital alternatives no matter how many instant message services are built in. This makes them unlikely to go away despite the omnipresence of digital gaming. However, I can't see them becoming more than one possible way of playing. I think that this mix is actually a good and healthy thing for gaming in its wider sense.

From my own site at ehu.es/isilanes.
Comply with the standards
Much like in spoken languages, Internet information exchange requires a common language, understood by everyone. In this case, our browsers will be the ones making the translation from that language (HTML) into images, colors and human-readable text. Much like spoken languages, there is an "Academy" taking care of what is and what is not correct. In this case, the academy is the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Much like in spoken languages, HTML evolves and changes, but when changes are not incorporated in the standards, misunderstandings happen. To assure a Web page is correctly displayed by any browser, first standards are encouraged (I wish they could be enforced), then standard-compliant browsers are made. The Web should not be designed for a specific browser, rather browsers should be made to comply with openly known standards. For a discussion on that, jump to the Viewable with any browser site.
If you want to make your site as widely viewable as possible, and keep your visitors happy, you should really follow the W3C standards, because this way you really know that any standard-complying browser will display the page correctly. Is making a standard-compliant page difficult? Not really. First, you could follow the Accessible design guide at the Viewable with any browser site. Then, learning some HTML programming could help. Finally, you are encouraged to put a "W3C correct HTML" button on the product page, as you can see I have done on my ehu.es/isilanes page (orange buttons on the left hand side above). This page, for example, has been correctly coded in HTML, and its CSS is also correct, as you can test clicking the aforementioned buttons.
The code for the HTML-correctness verification:

The CSS button:

Recall that you can put the above buttons in your pages at early stages of page creation (when they are still incorrect), and use them yourself to see if what you have done so far is W3C-compliant. The resulting validation page (saying "OK" or "Not OK"), usually explains the errors you might have done rather understandably, and help in fixing them.
Minimize the size
Every time a web page is visited, the client (the browser of the visiting person) has to download the contents of the page to be able to display them. The more fancy pictures there are in your page, the longer it'll take to load. The more crap that the client has to download, the slower the visiting experience for that person. If a page takes too long to load in your browser, what do you do? Exactly, you quit and go somewhere else. Human attention time span is short, and more so in the Internet, so don't ask your visitors for the patience you didn't have when making the page in first place.
Avoid Java, JavaScript and Flash
The problem here is dual: size and accessibility. The problem of the size is summarized in the previous section.
The issue with the accessibility is related to the fact that you should ask your visitors for as few resources as possible to view your content. If they need to get and install some fancy software to access your functionality, then this fact might discourage them and make them go away.
Remember always that it is your task to make it easy to access your content, not the visitors' to find the suitable tools for that. Use JS or Flash if you absolutely need to, but only if you absolutely need to. Usually a clever use of plain HTML resources will give satisfactory results, and will be much more visitor-friendly.
Avoid proprietary formats
Innocuous as they might look, formats like MP3 and GIF are patent-encumbered, which means that their use should/could be restricted by the patent holders. Also, using them forces the browser (in the case of GIFs) and MP3 player makers to comply with restrictive patent requirements (like e.g. paying royalties).
The best way to eliminate software patents is to dump patented material altogether. Use Ogg Vorbis format to encode your music, and substitute your GIFs for PNGs. Recall that patented software is illegal to modify, improve or have security holes/bugs patched by third parties, without permission of patent holders, which makes the openly developed formats evolve much faster, and eventually become better.
For specific reasons to dump MP3s and GIFs, see the Wikipedia pages for PNG and Ogg Vorbis. In short: CompuServe developed the GIF format without knowing that the LZW compression algorithm it used was patented (by Unisys). Later, after GIF became popular, Unisys announced that they'd start enforcing the patent (charge royalties) to commercial programs capable of displaying GIFs. Something similar happened to MP3 and the Fraunhofer Society.
With Open formats you'll never have any such problem, and the visitors to your page will never have to pay royalties for programs capable of displaying the contents of your site.

Ohio becomes 1st in nation to sell state prison to private company; 4 others not sold
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ' An 11-year-old lock-up along on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio has become the first state prison in the nation to be sold to a private company.
Lake Erie Correctional Institution in northeastern Ohio's Ashtabula (ash-tuh-BYOO'-luh) County is the only one of five state prisons up for sale that will be sold, state officials said Thursday. It's going to Corrections Corporation of America for $72.7 million.
The four other prisons for sale didn't generate advantageous offers.
Utah-based Management Training Corporation won rights to operate two facilities in Marion, Ohio, as a single prison c and a privately run state prison in Lorain County will be returned to state control.
Ohio will save an estimated $13 million annually with the moves, part of Republican Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-siks) budget-cutting efforts.

It's 2013 and I spent this New Year's Day enjoying the outdoors with good friends - something I have been privileged to do a lot this year! This new year marks a time of transition for me. I've lived in Hamilton my whole life, but in a day or two I will be a resident of Toronto! I'm moving to pursue a Master's at UofT and I am pretty excited. People keep telling me it's not that far, but there is going to be so much I am going to miss around here, although I've certainly had my fill of wonderful people and good times this past year.
We hiked along the Bruce Trail starting at Tiffany Falls, and made our way to Sherman Falls and Canterbury Falls as well.
Also, there is this -
It was a good day. It's been a good year! I still haven't given up my goal of trying to see all the waterfalls in Hamilton and enjoy all that it has to offer, but I might have to be distracted by some other adventures in the meantime!

Yeah, really. Baseball is still full of people who use sentimental evaluation criteria like leadership, hustle, or even physical appearance as part of their evaluation of a player.
Wouldn't you rather make a decision on a player based on data you can put your finger on rather than a hunch or something that's not able to be rendered mathematically?
I fail to see the correlation between Hawk's view of baseball and LAAAAA's signing of Pujols. Even if advanced metrics were not utilized in their analysis (a far-fetched assumption, I think), there is very little in the way of traditional scouting that would lead anyone to believe LAAAAA will get even close to their money's worth with that contract.

One of the real advantages of Oracle Open World is that there are swarms of Oracle employees in attendance who have real intimate knowledge of various pieces of the software and how internally various bits of the Oracle software actually works.
In the exhibition hall there was a huge section with lots of different Oracle stands focusing on various features and on one of the days I dropped by the Active Dataguard booth and had a chat to one of the guys there.
So in terms of how you switch on active dataguard, it's really not that hard. You just need to have opened your standby read only (which you can do without 11g) and then issue the familiar alter database recover managed standby command – the difference is with 11g you can issue this command to apply the redo while the database open read only and servicing application queries, previously the standby had to be at the mount stage.
So that seems like a small change and in fact such a little change on the surface tends to lead to some lousy presentations as there is very little, at first glance, to say about active dataguard. However underneath the covers a lot of work went on to enable this, it was not just a case of allowing the recover command to be run with the database open.
Database changes that are stored in the redo stream are not ordered and when performing managed recovery those changes are applied to the database out of order and this is done for performance reasons, trying to reorder the changes into the correct sequence would not be performant.
This is no good for queries though, as they need to see a read consistent point of view and with active dataguard this is a constantly moving target. So one of the challenges with active dataguard was to ensure consistent reads were still implemented.
So there is the concept of a published Read SCN which queries are consistent up to and this is behind where the apply process has actually applied redo up to.
Work was also required with dropped packages – you can't have a package becoming unavailable when the query executing at an earlier read scn actually requires the package. This required changes to the redo stream so that package changes are buffered until the read scn is bumped up.
I also asked a couple of Oracle guys if there was any chance of this being backported to 10g, Larry Carpenter just laughed and said that was one of the first questions he asked. Seems like the changes to the redo stream are so significant that it will never see the light of day in 10g.

Goats Used as Firefighting Asset in Berkeley
In Berkeley, California, goats are being used to keep grass short to prevent wild fires.
Not only are goats adorable, they're now badass, crisis-fighting machines. According to the Berkeley Lab, "We utilize goats at the lab in order to keep our grasses short and reduce fire hazards."
In a video that has since gone viral, the large herd of goats can be seen causing quite a traffic jam as they cross the road near the lab. Watch the video below!

Posted by Berkeley Lab on Friday, June 12, 2015
This video has us wondering: What's next for goats? Will the model used by the Berkeley Lab be mimicked in other parts of California, where wildfires are a constant threat to the environment and urban areas, especially in Southern California? For goats, it really appears as if the sky is the limit.
GOAT STAMPEDE! This is too cool.

The Generals will open the tournament on Saturday by playing Elizabethtown at 6:00 pm and will then play DeSales on Sunday at 10:00 am.
Washington and Lee opened its 2011 season with a 4-0 win over Bluefield College on September 1.


text: There's IMers and BHers, who after making a certain amount of bank, and having it on auto-pilot, get to travel the world, living in new places temporarily or permanently, all while keeping up with things and still being productive. I'm in the US, but for 6 month intervals would like to live in South America (probably Costa Rica or Brazil), India, the Netherlands, and Japan. And depending how I like it, staying longer. So for the people that have already done it or are planning on it, tell us how it went.


text: Hi Hurley97,I am also planning on pursuing a JD/MBA. Right now I am studying for the GMAT (which will be in about 3 weeks for me). Here are some of the differences between the 2 tests:1) The LSAT is a paper test, the GMAT is all computerized. On the GMAT you have 3 sections: two scored 30 min essays, a 75 minute 37 question quantitative section, and a 75 minute 41 question verbal section. There are two 5 minute breaks.2) The two exams only have 2 parts and are similar, both have reading comp and logical reasoning questions. Although I have to tell you that the reading comp and LR on the GMAT is much easier than on the LSAT.3) You are allowed to have scratch paper for the GMAT (6 pieces to be exact), they will collect it from you at the end of the exam. LSAT does not allow any scratch paper.4) Since the LSAT is a paper test, you don't necessarily have to do them in order. You can skip ones that are tough and then go back to them if you have time. On the GMAT there is no skipping allowed. You MUST answer the question to move forward and you CANNOT go back to check or change answers.5) The GMAT is adaptive to your skill level. Basically this is how it works. The first question is a medium level question and you start off with an initial score of 500. If you get it right, your score goes up to lets say 550 and you get a harder question. If you get the first question wrong, your score goes down to maybe 460 and you get an easier question (I'm not sure of the actual fluctuations in score, but this is happening in the background). The test continues on like this, adapting to the way you answer the questions. Since hard questions are worth more points, its in your best interest to get to the tough questions as early in the test as you can, and make sure you get them right. The beginning of the test is the most important for your score.6) The math on the GMAT is high school level (but the hard questions involve many steps, so its easier to make a mistake).7) On the LSAT you have to wait 3 weeks for your score, on the GMAT you get your score right after you finish the exam. I've been studying on my own for both exams. For the LSAT I practiced on 10 more actual office lsat preptests, and I read Mastering the LSAT by Jeff Kolby. I looked over the LGB and LRB and they looked pretty good too. As for the GMAT, I would recommend going to their web site first, www.mba.com, and downloand the prep software, they have a bunch of actual GMAT questions and explanations and you can take 2 full length tests. Also check out www.gmatclub.com. E-mail me if you have more questions: email@example.com
