Mobile broadband has become increasingly popular over the past year or so. Thanks to the advances in technology and mobile phones we have such a variety of "internet ready" mobile devices that allow us to connect the the world wide web when we are out and about; travelling from A to B or just surfing the web in whilst having enjoying a coffee in the cafe.
The majority of mobile internet users connect to the web using a USB dongle that acts as a gateway to send and receive data. Many ISP's (internet service providers) have started to offer home broadband packages with optional benefits such as mobile broadband dongle or laptop rental to accommodate the need to access files and emails whilst on the move.
"When considering a mobile broadband package the most important thing to consider is the costs. The initial costs can be as little as £5 a month but the restrictions on speed and download limits are much, much lower. If you use mobile broadband regularly then you can quickly find yourself exceeding your monthly limits and being charged a considerable amount for your time. So make sure you thoroughly read the limits for mobile broadband before purchasing. However you also need to consider other factors when choosing mobile broadband particularly if you want to use it instead of a normal internet connection at home. Broadband signal works in much the same way as mobile phone signals so you need to be aware that you might not get a good connection in certain places. Most providers will offer you a connection test before purchasing so make sure you use this. Finally mobile broadband is a good cheap alternative to normal broadband and it is worth considering if you don't need the added benefits usual broadband would give or if you travel extensively for work."

About the Meadows Museum
The Meadows Museum is the leading U.S. institution focused on the study and presentation of the art of Spain. In 1962, Dallas businessman and philanthropist Algur H. Meadows donated his private collection of Spanish paintings, as well as funds to start a museum, to Southern Methodist University. The Museum opened to the public in 1965, marking the first step in fulfilling Meadows's vision to create "a small Prado for Texas."
Today, the Meadows is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The collection spans from the 10th to the 21st centuries and includes medieval objects, Renaissance and Baroque sculptures, and major paintings by Golden Age and modern masters. Since 2010 the Museum has been engaged in a multidimensional partnership with the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, which has included the exchange of scholarship, exhibitions, works of art, and other resources.

Book review: Murdoch mystery confirms writer?s skill
Let Darkness
Bury the Dead
By Maureen Jennings
McClelland & Stewart, $24.95
It's been a decade since Maureen Jennings last published a novel starring Victorian-era police detective William Murdoch, although his presence has continued to be felt in a popular and long-running TV series set in Toronto.
Jennings had published seven Murdoch crime novels by 2007.
She then took a break not only to periodically turn out scripts for the Murdoch Mysteries TV drama, but to launch another sterling series, this time set in Britain and focusing on another police officer, Tom Tyler, during the First World War.
Now in Let Darkness Bury the Dead, she has returned to Toronto and Murdoch, but has maintained her focus on that spectacularly stupid and terrible war.
It's 1917 and Murdoch, now a senior detective supervising other cops, is 56, much older than a decade between appearances accounts for.
Previously, in his 30s, he had found love.
Now it turns out that his beloved wife Amy died giving birth to their daughter, who also died, leaving him with a four-year-old son, Jack.
Now Jack is 21 and returning home, a wounded and gassed veteran of the battle of Passchendaele.
Returning with him is another wounded and very troubled soldier, Percy McKinnon, towards whom Jack appears to be protectively loyal.
By 1917 the war that was supposed to last only a few months is three years old, and there has been a considerable hardening of views as the costs of battle have become brutally clear.
And so there are vocal anti-war demonstrators, among them a young woman familiar from childhood to the Murdochs.
At the same time there is often loud and bitter scorn against apparently fit young men who for one reason or another are not in uniform.
While Jack moves in with his father, Percy McKinnon finds shelter in a household of Chinese men running a laundry, as well as conducting other pursuits.
Jack spends much more time with Percy than with his father, partly to keep watch on his half-mad comrade, partly to try to deal with his own war horrors, and partly because father and son are stiff and uncomfortable with each other.
William Murdoch regrets their distance, but he's also kept too busy at his job to spend much time with his unhappy son anyway.
Most prominently there are murders, a series of them involving unrelated men in unrelated circumstances — except that as Murdoch and his officers learn, each has been exempted, for different reasons, from military service.
That may be a link.
The question is whether it might also be a motive for some enraged or grieving citizen to kill people he considers must be cowards.
Murdoch, and readers as well, are forced to wonder if his son, or Jack's lost, drug-taking friend Percy, are connected to the murders, a sharply heartbreaking prospect.
As has become her custom in the England-set Tom Tyler novels, Jennings is brilliantly precise in Let Darkness Bury the Dead in her depictions of circumstances and sorrows and strife on First World War home fronts.
That she accomplishes this largely through her brilliantly precise depictions of realistically human characters, including William Murdoch himself, is what puts her not only around the top of the heap of crime novelists, but also around the top of Canada's novelists, period.
Joan Barfoot is a novelist living in London.

I just got my Neil Lane ring back from Kay after a little stone fell out, and the replacement one doesn't match at all! I'm so upset!!
I don't know what to do. I feel like if I send it back, the new one still won't match.
I've been considering sizing my rings up, though, which in this case would mean they'd have to make me a new setting (for free) in the larger size since they've already been sized up more than one full size from the stock size. This would fix the issue, but then I wouldn't have my original set, and it could take months.
Has anyone else had pave replaced? Did it match?
What should I do??

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Athletes have to be battle tested when they compete against some of the nation's best athletes. To say senior Quina Fortune is battle tested is quite an understatement (check her story out here).
Fortune, once again, showed that toughness en route to earning a spot in the NCAA Quarterfinals in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.89 in first round action at the Indiana University on Friday evening.
The top-24 times advanced to Saturday's quarterfinal, where the top-12 will advance to NCAA Championships.
"Like it has been all year, the weather wasn't the best, so Quina's time wasn't the best of the year, but she did what she needed to in order to advance," Head Coach Jon Riley said. "I know that she'll come back tomorrow more focused then ever and have a great chance of reaching nationals."
The New Orleans, La. native entered the East Preliminary Round ranked in the top-15 with a time of 23.33 earlier this year. Her time of 23.89 on Friday placed her 22nd out of 48.
Fortune will take the blocks in the quarterfinals on Saturday night at 7:35 p.m.

History and Heritage
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers' union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier's Knife and in 1897 with the Officer's Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as "inoxydable"" and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.
Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
Care Tips for Swiss Army Knives
The various tools are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular application. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion.
To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur.
After you've used your Swiss Army Knife for all of its various applications, such as cutting open numerous boxes, you may notice that the blades begin to stick together. Opening and closing the blades in warm water several times will allow the tools to easily move again. Once they have dried, it is recommended, to apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring. To optimally maintain the locking mechanism, periodically apply a drop of our recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil. Never put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher.

AC Milan skipper Massimo Ambrosini says the players were left frustrated after defeat at home to Champions League opponents Zenit St Petersburg.
Zenit earned qualification for the Europa League with the 1-0 win.
"We put the effort in and played better than Zenit. The first half was better than the second, where we didn't create much and were a bit chaotic," said captain Ambrosini.
"It's a shame, as the President wanted us to win - as we all did - but we had the right spirit. We talked about the right attitude to take on the field and what we are asked to do is play football."

American Fissures
Recently, upon arriving in Eugene, Oregon a taxi driver told me a story which sums up America`s incivility today. A prospective customer, with avowed pro-Trump sentiments was about to enter the vehicle. When the driver, part Hispanic but Caucasian looking, gave an opposite view the customer walked away. Avoiding the company of an anti-Trump liberal was well worth the inconvenience of a delayed journey.Read More →

MUST READ: Yes it could happen here. Facebook, Cambridge Analytica & the poisoning of electoral democracy
Under MMP our small voting public effectively constitutes a single manipulable seat. The psychographic dispositions of swing voters could be identified , targeted and manipulated without difficulty. Certain offshore and resident billionaires could easily meet campaign research expenses and hide their contributions behind blind trusts. In place of Cambridge Analytica would be another similar organisation with a friendlier sounding name. Election campaigns centred around the issues of tax, national sovereignty and/or oil, gas and coal exploration would certainly draw the attention of the one-percenters .Read More →

New Zealand media ownership: History and obfuscation
This year's New Zealand Media Ownership report written by Merja Myllylahti and published by the Journalism, Media and Democracy research centre (JMAD) recounts how two attempted mergers failed.

New Zealand Media Ownership : why it matters
The general results have been catastrophic for those committed to public sphere principles. Newsrooms contracted, news content thinned out, and current affairs journalism disappeared from prime time television. We have here an over bearing convergence of finance, political and media culture which obscures the issues of media ownership.Read More →
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: Fraud, class and the media: the Metiria Turei controversy
Research by Associate Professor Lisa Marriot from Victoria University reveals that 5 per cent of welfare recipients are investigated compared to .01 per cent of taxpayers. Welfare fraud attracts 800-1000 criminal prosecutions a year compared to 60-80 for tax fraud. Of tax dodgers whose offending reaches about $270,000, 18 per cent will be jailed. Of those welfare fraudsters who have obtained around $70,000, 67 per cent can expect jail timeRead More →
5 lessons we learnt from the British election result
Tony Blair`s dismissal of Labour`s election chances was entirely misplaced. Jeremy Corbyn increased Labour`s vote share by more than any leader since 1945. Labour received more votes in England than in Tony Blair`s landslide win of 1997. The success of Labour`s campaign slogan `For the many not the few` retrospectively exposed the vacuity of Tony Blair`s `third way` ideology.Read More →
Spin-off outsmarted: Why the NZME -Fairfax merger decision is essentially correct
Predictably, opposition to the Commerce Commission`s decision came from Fairfax and NZME; their own submissions had argued strenuously for a merger go-ahead. Accordingly, the New Zealand Herald`s May 5 editorial was entitled `Blocking this merger is a big mistake.`
Less predictably, Duncan Greive on `Spin-Off` was even more virulently opposed to the Commerce Commission`s decision.
I expected a more considered argument from an on-line magazine which is said to employ `some of New Zealand`s best non-fiction writers to create smart, shareable content`.Read More →
STAKE YOUR CLAIM – A review of Nicky Hager and Jon Stephenson's Hit and Run
The construction of this book was a painstaking and dangerous enterprise. John Stephenson risked life and limb by returning to the villages and interviewing survivors, and assembling the family trees of the dead and wounded. Empty shell casings from Apache helicopter cannon rounds were collected and photographed. A series of locally sourced stories from the Pajhwok News Agency, pointing to civilian deaths and casualties were filed. And, as mentioned earlier, a locally documented list of the dead and wounded was obtained and photocopied. By triangulating this material with the admissions of anonymous sources throughout the SAS and NZDF, Hager and Stephenson have built a powerful case.Read More →

Keeping Up Appearances: The verdict on John Key and the NZ Listener's adoration of him

Census figures reveal that the number of print, radio and television journalists fell from 2,214 to 1,170 between 2006 and 2013. Ellis notes that remaining journalists must respond to print, broadcasting and digital platforms as news budgets contract. Unsurprisingly, tabloid news values have predominated.

"Girls, make your life a dance!" our Orange High School PE teacher, Mrs. Weatherill, would exhort us. She of the black tights, the blacker ponytail, the Kathyrn Crosby demi-curl bang, a big apostrophe resting on the right side of her forehead. Smartly keeping time, Mrs. Weatherill beat a hand-held drum and dispatched us in choreographed lines across the gym to the music of Carlos Santana. But as 16-year-olds, my friends and I skimmed past our teacher's advice, preferring giggles and gossip.
Yet over the years, I decided Mrs. Weatherill may have been a few beats ahead after all. She meant that we would need to muster all the grace, stamina and joy we could in order to face what life was about to present to us. And with advancing age, it is easy to overlook making your life a dance: At every turn someone new is undergoing chemotherapy or learning a grim diagnosis or losing someone dear. The drum now beats mortality.
However, sometimes I use these heavy realizations to initiate something new. I found my latest pursuit at Pasadena City College Extended Learning. Yesterday was my first session of Beginning Ballet. You don't have to be thin! You don't have to be nimble! You don't have to have a neck like a swan! You only have to own a pair of ballet shoes.
Teacher Catherine Round is warmly emphatic, technically astute and a dead ringer for kin of Amy Adams. She believes women of all ages can learn balletic movement and benefit from improved posture. Instruction involves explanation, modeling, guided practice and gentle correction. Many of us arrived with childhood ballet experience, and it is the funniest sensation to return to positions you haven't held since the 1960s. Our class also learned practical tips for leg beauty, such as grasping a towel from the floor with bare toes in daily repetitions. Prehensile pulchritude? What's not to like?
Beginning Ballet is full for the current session through March 5. Still, there are many other non-credit options at pcclearn.org. Meantime, ballet queries to Ms. Round are welcome at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Long before Markee rewrote the rulebook on a how a band could blur musical boundaries and gain respect from peers and fans alike, group creator, producer and songwriter Markee Ledge was making up his own rules as he began his notable musical journey.
Born in Glasgow and raised on a diet of Cocteau Twins, Everything But The Girl, Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses and a healthy portion of dub reggae, including Scientist, Lee Scratch Perry and King Tubby, Markee started writing songs on his guitar in his bedroom from his early teens.
Markee Ledge always gravitated towards new sounds and as a teenager was attracted to the Sub Club where the Slam boys were helping to usher in the new era of house and techno. Hearing this new clubbing soundtrack greatly affected his desire to produce electronic-based music tracks.
A move to Bristol exposed Markee to the emerging styles of ragga, breakbeat and hardcore techno. Conscious of these fresh new sounds and local talent, he started jungle club night Ruffneck Ting with his Ledge crew.
He also started producing under the name Substance and this is where he met his long-term collaborator, Darren Beale aka Decoder. The duo pursued a tech drum & bass soundtrack with their next label venture, Breakbeat Culture, as well as running labels Tech Itch and the Breakbeat Culture record shop and parties.
At the same time, Bristol came into its own with the ascent of Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead, as well as groundbreaking drum & bass DJs like Roni Size, Krust & Die. Decoder & Substance released some seminal music in this so-called 'golden era' of drum & bass.
Markee Ledge pursued his interest songwriting and forming a band and began searching for vocalists. In 1999 he found lead singer Sian and Kosheen was born.
Kosheen signed to independent Moksha Recordings the same year and released three singles, which generated grass-roots support. The band began recording their debut album 'Resist' the following year, which was signed and released by BMG Records in 2001. In the meantime, the single 'Hide U' had blown up in the clubs before crossing over to the UK charts at No. 7.
Upon release, 'Resist' charted at No. 8 and with the release of two subsequent singles, 'Catch' and 'Hungry, it sold half a million copies, making it the most successful drum & bass album at that time.
After touring extensively, Kosheen had become a successful live act and festival favourite. By 2002 the band had recorded enough new material for their second album 'Kokopellii' and many tracks were written with live audiences in mind. The album charted at No. 6 in the UK and first single 'All In My Head' hit No.7.
Their third album, 'Damage', was released on Universal in Germany and Moksha in the UK, while their fourth and fifth albums, 'Independence' and 'Solitude', came out on their own label.
Through all this, Markee Ledge has remained the central figure, writing the music and songs as well as producing / engineering the albums and overseeing the project.
Since Kosheen have taken a break from recording in 2011, Markee has continued writing new material and collaborating with other producers and vocalists. Markee Ledge's 2015 solo album 'Elevate' was initiated from these sessions. The LP continued the Kosheen vibe with big vocal fronted tracks but with a greater emphasis on cutting edge, instrumental productions to satisfy the current UK underground music scene's desire for deeper sounds.
2016 has seen releases on seminal bass music label Tempa and cutting edge techno imprint Skeleton, as well as the 'Saturn' remixes from 'Elevate' and the lead single from his second solo album, Dark & Shady, on his own Zonal label. The new album is due for release in April 2017 and features guest vocalists Alys Be, Susie Ledge and Jodie Elms.

After dinner, I sat down to do some more work, but I got distracted. Sitting here, I suddenly wondered what sort of free history e-books I could find. Within in minutes I came across this one; 'Travels in England in 1782' by Karl Philipp Moritz
Moritz was a German clergyman who, thankfully for us, was an Anglophile. He'd long wanted to visit England and finally arrived on June 2, 1782 (which I thought appropriate as it's June 3rd) and he takes the reader on the journey. After the first few pages, I'm utterly enchanted. He's noting down everything that seems foreign to him, so we get to see what he sees and experience his journey. Historic gold! He only spent a few weeks in England, but he managed to see London and a few other places he'd dreamed of.
We join him as he's leaving the ship. He and five other travellers are set ashore near some white cliffs and they walk to the nearest village. (I'm guessing they were travelling light!) From there they hire a post-chaise…this was a vehicle where the driver (or drivers in some cases) rode one of the horses (so there was no coachman making it a much lighter, faster and cheaper travel). Here's a short excerpt… [Read more…]

DYI Stone Cleaning
Stones are extremely durable and easy to clean if properly installed and, in the case of some stones and unglazed ceramics, regularly sealed. The key to keeping your stones looking their best is to use DYI stone-cleaning technique and a cleaning product that's designed specifically for the surface. Don't use all-purpose cleaners. Go to a local retailer that sells the type of tile you have and ask for recommendation. Obviously, the best cleaner for laminate tiles isn't the best cleaner for carpet or parquet tiles.
But even among traditional tiles, there are a wide range of products. Some are better for stones, some for marble, and others for granite and fieldstone. And keep in mind that no matter how fastidious you are about sealing stone tiles, you need to quickly wipe out spills that get on those surfaces, especially if the liquid is acidic, such as juice, sine, soda, coffee, salad dressing, and marinade. In just seconds, the acid in common food can etch some stones, even if the tiles are sealed.
Avoid multisurface cleaners, which may contain wax, oil, acid, or other ingredients that discolor or disintegrate stone. To clean stone, use dishwashing stone and warm water. If you need something a little stronger, use undiluted white vinegar instead. For bathroom walls and especially showers, where soap scum and lime deposits can build up, use a cleaning product labeled specifically for bathroom materials and preferably one sold by a handyman rather than one found among general cleaning products, as suggested by many.
Many people think that so long as they're sealed, stone and unglazed ceramics are impervious to heavy-duty cleaners and stains. But experts say that all the sealer does is buying you some time. Instead of soaking into the ceramic tile or porous stone and grout, liquid that will spill over the tile's surface will provide you with a chance of wiping it away. The faster you have it wiped off, the less chance you'll wind up with a stain.

Jason Segel: Emily Blunt felt like a sister in The Five-Year Engagement
Jason Segel and Emily Blunt were like ''brother and sister'' while filming 'The Five-Year Engagement'.
The 32-year-old actor - who co-wrote and starred in the movie - ''knew'' he would have good onscreen chemistry with the brunette actress before they even began shooting the romantic-comedy.
He joked: ''I've often imagined what could've been with us but time played a cruel trick on us. We are like brother and sister but we got along so well that I knew we would have that kind of chemistry onscreen.''
The movie tells the story of Tom Solomon (Jason) and Violet Barnes' (Emily Blunt) five-year engagement, which sees their relationship become increasingly strained.
Emily admits she was drawn to the project because Jason - who is dating 'Dawson's Creek' beauty Michelle Williams - had written such a ''great female role'' that seemed ''funny'' and ''true to life''.
In a joint interview with Newslocal, Emily added: ''I really wanted to work with Jason again and he'd written just a great female role, just so much fun to play. I thought it was a real explanation of a relationship even though what they go through is really funny and kind of out there it just seemed true to life.''

All around him, wherever moonlight fell between the trees, he saw little elves playing merrily. They weren't disturbed when he came along because they knew he was a good and innocent fellow. It is only the wicked people who never are allowed to see the elves. Some of the elves were no taller than your finger, and their long yellow hair was done up with golden combs. Two by two, they seesawed on the big raindrops, which lay thick on the leaves and tall grass. Sometimes the drops rolled from under them, and then they tumbled down between the grass blades. The little manikins would laugh and made a great to-do about it, for it was a very funny sight. They sang, and John knew all their pretty little songs, which had been taught him when he was a small boy.
Big spotted spiders, wearing silver crowns, were kept busy spinning long bridges and palaces from one bush to another, and as the tiny dewdrops formed on these webs they sparkled like glass in the moonlight. All this went on until sunrise, when the little elves hid in the buds of flowers. Then the wind struck the bridges and palaces, which were swept away like cobwebs.

Even as Secretary of State John Kerry — man of many mansions and at least one yacht — was lecturing Indonesians (annual average income: $3,420) about the costs of inaction on climate change (that, again?) and government policies were continuing to wreak avoidable drought on California's central valley, this instructive exchange was happening on Fox News Sunday:
"CHRIS WALLACE: President Obama in drought-ridden California Friday proposing a $1 billion fund to research and help communities deal with the effects of climate change. And we're back now with the panel. Well, the president's case may seem a bit hard to make when the eastern half of the country is in the grips of a brutal winter. But as you heard the president say, climate change accounts for everything from drought to floods. George? Do you buy it?
"GEORGE WILL, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: No. And neither does science. But I'm one of those who are called deniers. And the implication is that I deny climate change. It's impossible to state with clearer precision the opposite of my view, which is that, of course the climate is changing. It's always changing. That's what gave us the medieval warm period. That's what gave us subsequent to that for centuries the brutal Ice Age. Of course it's changing. But when a politician on a subject implicating science, hard science, economic science, social science says the debate is over, you may be sure of two things. The debate is raging and he's losing it. So I think frankly as a policy question, Chris, Holman Jenkins, Kim's [Strassel] colleague at the 'Wall Street Journal' put it perfectly, the only questions is, how much money are we going to spend? How much wealth are we going to forego creating in order to have zero or discernible effect on the environment?"
The follow-up is, how much of that money is going to go to eco-businessmen who are well-connected with powerful politicians? If recent American experience is a guide the answer is: nearly all of it. Because, also as recent American experience has shown, such programs are churning operations that feed the campaign treasuries of Democrats.
The question beyond that becomes just how much freedom and upward mobility, through the inexpensive acquisition of goods and services produced by economical fossil fuels, are people willing to sacrifice in vain attempts to tame Earth's immutable dynamism?
Fulfilling Kerry's ambitions would squeeze, brutally, most of the 99 percent. And it's not like all of us can defray the expense by marrying billionaire condiment heiresses.

The video and the sound transfer to my TV/Apple TV. I still see the video portion on the iMac. However, I don't get sound on the iMac, only on the TV. Is there a setting where the iMac and the TV show both the video and play the sound? Thanks!

A 59-year-old U.S. veteran of the Vietnam war has been killed in Afghanistan, becoming the oldest American service member killed in that country since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom.
The Pentagon announced Friday that Army First Sergeant Jose Crisostomo was killed Tuesday when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle.
Crisostomo was assigned to the International Security Assistance Force in Kabul.
He joined the U.S. Army in 1969 and received the Bronze Star, a medal awarded to U.S. troops for combat valor.
Crisostomo volunteered to return to duty in Afghanistan.
He would have celebrated his 60th birthday later this month.

I'm so glad that tree decided to land on the ground and not on the house!
CITA looks amazing! I really enjoy watching your progress on this one. So close to a finish now!
The scrapbooking looks like it was fun. I've thought about getting into this but figure I can't afford more than one hobby. I get too carried away, lol!
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Ottawa. I'm only about 50 min from there and visit often. It's a lovely city.

Great pics Melissa, I'm so glad you guys are safe after that tree crashed down. When I lived in England, our roof needed major re-tiling after a hurricane, and hundredds of trees were lost in our region.
CITA is beautiful, well done!

Nullam curae integer
In the Japanese city of Mikado opened the gateway to a parallel world. Who lives there? That's right, the same people, and that's called their neighbors. They, too, there is no unity, are wars and conflicts, as a result - to penetrate the Earth alien war machines like giant insects. Were the victims, the city would be evacuated, but to establish relations with a certain faction of the neighbors who shared their technology - and now the rest Mikado stores "Border", superboytsov organization whose main base is visible everywhere. Citizens are gradually accustomed to the alarm, and the "guards" became TV stars and local heroes. Four years later, bespectacled unsociable Osamu Mikumi stood up for the newcomer, whose self-styled "cool" to deal dragged on a vacant lot in the restricted area. To the surprise of Man, his new friend by the name of Hume Kuga did the same, and the soldier was on two heads higher, because he - not the intern "Borders", but a real alien. So what now? All deny or confess and take a new friend? In any case, such "neighbors" definitely not boring!

Mountain Hare
(Lepus timidus)
Facts about this animal
The mountain hare is slightly smaller than the brown hare, reaching a head-body length of 50-60 cm and a weight of 2.5-4 kg. It has a more rounded shape shorter ears and legs than the brown hare, and there is no black upper surface on the tail. Mountain hares moult twice a year - in late autumn, and again in the spring when they lose their winter coat. Typically, the summer coat is greyish-brown with klighter under parts, the winter coat white with black ear tips. There are regional differences however.
Mountain hares feed on heather, bilberry, twigs of gorse, juniper, grasses, herbs and occasionally, farm crops.
Mountain hares are mainly solitary, but in severe weather, or at good food sites, may congregate in large groups of up to 70. Occasionally, particularly in deep snow, they burrow for shelter. They have home ranges of between 80 and 100 hectares. Mountain hares can reach speeds of over 60 km per hour when threatened. The breeding season is between February and September. The females produce 2 or 3 litters of 1-5 leverets per year. The gestation period lasts between 44 and 55 days. The young are born with fur and their eyes open, and are weaned at three weeks. They live in a 'form' (a depression in the ground), under the cover of heather or rock outcrops.
Did you know?
That the mountain hare's North American cousin, the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) is the main prey of the lynx to the extent that lynx numbers fall and rise in response to population levels of the showeshoe hare?

|Discontinuous. Northern part of the palaearctic region from Scandinavia and Poland to the Pacific coast of Russia, isolated populations in Ireland, Scotland, the Alpine range, and Japan. There are introduced populations in the Peak District in northern England, and on some Scottish Islands including Orkney, Shetland, Mull and Skye.
|Tundra and open forest, moors, bogland and steppe
|Wild population
|No global estimate. Throughout their distribution mountain hares show unstable population dynamics characterised by regular and sometimes dramatic changes in abundance. The periodicity, amplitude and degree of cyclicity are different in different regions. The reasons for these fluctuations and geographic differences are not fully understood. In 1995 there were an estimated 350,000 in Scotland. Yearly hunting bags in Switzerland range from 1170 to 1480 animals.

Pepperjack's Café is named in honour of a sly fox who used to sneak into the resort in search of food when it was built over 40 years ago. He became such a regular visitor, that the staff embraced him as a member of the Gant family.Scott Dunn team

Call us on 858 523 9000 to start planning your vacation to The Gant Aspen or take a look at our itineraries to Aspen Ski
Aspen is one of North America's best ski resorts, with a single lift pass covering over 5,000 acres and 341 trails of skiable terrain across Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass. With its mix of black diamond runs, groomed cruisers, wooded pistes and backcountry deep in powder, there are slopes to suit all levels, from beginners to serious off-pisters. And surrounded by the White River National Forest and the majestic Elk Mountain Range, the scenery never fails to disappoint.
The Gant Aspen is just three blocks from the Silver Queen Gondola at the foot of Aspen Mountain. Set in five acres of landscaped grounds and close to Aspen's downtown shopping, family friendly nightlife and cultural attractions, it's an ideal location for families and independent skiers. The resort is a mix of one, two, three and four bedroom luxury condominiums, fully equipped with everything you could need. Spacious living areas, wood fires, good-sized kitchens and well-appointed bathrooms, make these condos some of the best in Aspen. Guests also have the benefit of hotel-style services, including valet parking, a concierge service, daily housekeeping and complimentary airport and in-town transportation.
The resort has its own café, Pepperjack's, which is a great stop for morning coffee and pastries, a light lunch or a cocktail in the evening before heading out into downtown Aspen, or the comfort of your own condominium. We are also rolling out a new service this year for guest who want to pre-order family style meals to have available in their condo upon arrival. Groceries can be pre-ordered and delivered to your condo, as well as family meals ready to cook when you arrive, and daily housekeeping and a laundry service ensure you spend as much time on the mountain as possible. Your skis can be tuned overnight, and lessons can be arranged through the concierge. Further facilities include two outdoor heated swimming pools, three jet hot tubs and a fitness center.
The Gant Aspen is a luxury complex with 120 individually owned and decorated condominiums, ranging in size from one to four bedrooms. They feature full kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces, private patios or balconies and all have high-speed WiFi access. We recommend either the Deluxe or Premier Condos for our guests.

Location & Directions
Aspen, Colorado
The Gant Aspen enjoys a great location in downtown Aspen, just three blocks from the Silver Queen Gondola. The four main ski areas are within easy access, and there's a free shuttle bus for in-town transportation.
When to go
The ski season in the United States is longer than that in Europe. Most resorts open sometime in November, with Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in that month) being a common opening time, and stay open until mid to late April. The Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Wyoming have the highest peaks and due to the semi-arid climate, have abundant snowfall with some great powder. The exceptionally high altitude means December through to February can be extremely cold, with temperatures sometimes reaching as low as -12C, although the skiing conditions remain very good. Warmer temperatures in the Spring mean more variable skiing conditions and softer, forgiving snow.

Been busy refining my core play mechanic for this NaGaDeMon effort – updated bits include swiping that doesn't eat up processor constantly:
//Wait till finger comes down first before doing the touchhandler thing
function startTracking(event) {
mousePositionX = event.x;
mousePositionY = event.y;
var wtf = event.x;
canvas.addEventListener("mousemove", touchHandler, false);
playPlayerAnimation = true;
function stopTracking() {
canvas.removeEventListener('mousemove', touchHandler, false);
playPlayerAnimation = false;
mousePositionX = 0;
mousePositionY = 0;
and a health bar using a single image and built in drawimage() functionality:
ctx.drawImage(healthBar, position.x, position.y, health_percentage, image_height);
Also content:
- Added player anims
- Monsters have hit points
- Animated hit effect when monsters are swiped
Here's short footage of the latest gameplay:
I did bit of napkin planning over the weekend, here is my current todo list. I'm pushing for code work to be completed this week, content next week.
"Code" work:
Player character Hit points + health bar
- Unique monster attributes (speed, strength,
hit points)
- Level up screens and travel to new areas
- Powerups/dropped coins
- Gamestate screens (intro, instructions/help, credits, etc)
- New AI models (Archer monster type)
- Prettier health bar
- Player walking on/off screen anim
- Screen obstructions
I spent some time scoping out other NagaDemon projects. There's some exceptional projects out there. I like the way this card/hex/dice game (The Domain Game) is shaping up, and also Heaven's Shadow, which is ambitiously listing itself on Indiegogo.
More towards the end of the week…

Interview of Cort Wrotnowski...
- Donofrio's research on President Chester A. Arthur's covered-up U.K. citizenship brings new implications that will be included in the filing before the SCOTUS.
- If a SCOTUS hearing is held, Wrotnowski plans for Donofrio to present his case.
- Press is avoiding Wrotnowski, while it plays up the denial of Donofrio's hearing.
- Adam Liptak of the New York Times is inqiring, also Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune (obdurate leftist propagandist I've had experience with - AW).
- Joe Thunder reporting on the liveliness of the National Press Club press conference today, by others bringing suit (on the birth certificate). Thunder videotaped it. Pastor Manning was there (oh, oh) in addition to Orly Taitz. Thunder will post on his site, tomorrow afternoon, freedommarch.org. [I.O. Ed., audiotape, here]
- At one point, one of our objective-as-Goebbels journalists told Ms. Taitz, "...just go home...."
- Adulterated allegiances are very dangerous for a nation's Commander in Chief to have.
- After December 15, charge of the process of determining the presidency is passed from the Electoral College (provided they vote, that day) to Congress and the chances of effectiveness of law suits are diminished.
- Ed Hale pass along from Leo Donofrio that he believes Wrotnowski's case is very strong, with advantages over Donofrio vs. Wells. "Layman" Ed says he thinks this is indicative of positive results.
- A caller wonders if and when Obama's side will be called in and will weigh in.
- Cort has to beg off -- claims he's busy. ;-`
- The Political Pastor program is signing off; TPP announces his chat room at Plains Radio.
- Ed Hale will have Steve Pidgeon on, who is bringing suit before the Washington Supreme Court.
Now, Karen and Ed Hale's Lions' Den program - it's a long, rich, historical evening at Plains Radio, interviewing Steve Pidgeon...
- Pidgeon's case has standing.
- Discussion of the 1790 statute, setting forth a "natural born citizen" (BTW, this phrase was specifically stricken from the stature in 1795.) requiring both parents to be citizens and the father, a resident of the USA. This disqualifies Obama.
- The 14th Amendment calls anyone born in the USA a "citizen." (However, see the declaration of the framer of the 14th amendment, about being a "natural born citizen!"). And this requires Obama's mother to have been 19 (longer story made short) when Barack-II was born. She was 18.
- Suit says Obama, a. not a natural born citizen, b. not a citizen, and c. arrrghhh!! the program winked out on me and it isn't coming back up!
- I'm guessing that point "c." above is that his Indonesian citizenship revokes his American citizenship (or perhaps he point "c." has to do with the birth certificate).
- Pidgeon's suit may bring the first case with standing having to do with the birth certificate before the SCOTUS.
- Caller from New Zealand brings up the writing of John A. Bingham (framer of the 14th Amendment) regarding allegiance, to be a natural born citizen.
- Obama became a Kenyan citizen officially in 1963, then an Indonesian citizen. He was apparently adopted, from the Lolo Soetoro / Ann divorce records, by an Indonesian citizen. If he is an American citizen after these facts, this means Obama is a naturalized citizen, and utterly not a natural born citizen by anyone's construct.
- Talking about how lame and inexperienced the states are, at even considering how to verify the citizenship qualifications of candidates. (How can one certify without verifying?)
- About the history of Chester A. Arthur's huge cover-up campaign to hide his U.K. citizenship. He appointed Justice Gray, who is the very one who wrote the opinion in the Wong Kim Ark case which liberalized American citizenship requirements! (That sounds eerily familiar, if you have read what friends of BHO are opining about citizenship.)
- Donofrio's point seems to be that allowing a fictitious president allows a great deal of dishonesty -- it allows a corrupt U.S. President. Justice Gray may have been writing "that opinion to sanitize Arthur's citizenship." Quid pro quo dealing is implied.
- All of Arthur's decisions and actions are tainted for history.
- Per Arthur's example, "You can't have a precedent if it is a fraud."
- Donofrio being Donofrio -- warns Pidgeon to investigate how Roger Calero was not allowed ballot access, for the sake of precedent. (Whatever one says about his NJ style, Donofrio is an excellent tactician and strategist.) Says that someone from the SoS had Calero removed and who did that should provide sworn testimony, to build the case. (Selective investigation and disqualification.) There could be a cover-up in WA.
- Donofrio believes Wrotnowski's application is much better drafted.
- Donofrio explains how the judge in NJ misapplied his suit: action in lieu of a prerogative writ became forced by the court into a writ of lesser application. Then, they refused his motion by a hoodwink excuse, based upon the procedural error the court itself created. (I'm not a lawyer and don't even play one on TV, so pardon my terminology.)
- (BTW, I'm wondering, since Wrotnowski is not a lawyer and Donforio says he was/is pleased at how much better his case is drafted -- it would seem, before Donofrio got to it -- did they get help from another attorney, in cognito? I did take Latin and I played a lawyer in a couple 5th grade vignettes.)
- The goofball idea that the SCOTUS should turn down the challenges, to avoid unrest and "overturning the will of the people." (David Horowitz is haranguing at conservatives challengers on this, for one.) Donofrio: "I'm sorry, it's not a real election if it's two fraudulent candidates."
- Pidgeon tells Donofrio that if the SCOTUS weren't interested in the case, it would have been rejected without going to conference. (My point: depends on the Justice.)
- Donofrio: even though he blogged about the idea that the SCOTUS might have preferred the strength of the Wrotnowski case, he was (stunned) when blog commentators told him Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz was referred to conference, a few minutes later!
- A stay of the Electors before Dec. 15 would be in order, because otherwise there would be a conflict of laws.
- Allowing not a strictly "natural born Citizen," could allow an orchestrated agent provocateur to become U.S. President. (What about someone of the kind who, during his campaign, would hold a rally in Germany, before hundreds of thousands, claiming himself a "Citizen of the World?")
- Caller commends those bringing these cases, affirming that the United States Constitution is worth sacrifice.
- Ed Hale asks someone for a pack of cigarettes and to his credit says "please."
- Discussion shifts (degrades? I hope not) into some contention of the likely success of the quest for the original certificate of live birth (COLB) but rises back to the point that this is the responsibility of the states' Secretaries of State, to which Pidgeon and Donofrio agree.
- Ed Hale requests that Donofrio and Pidgeon come back Friday night.
- Leo has to work all night on the new Chester A. Arthur brief and Cort Wrotnowski will drop it off in SCOTUSville tomorrow.
Prayers are in order.
- End note, 12/9, 2:10am: Despite the media gates, some do pay attention, but just who? Well, among others, I.O. just got a view from Hanoi -- via a Google search: "Wrotnowski obama."
SEND it to the psy-ops jocks!! -- email envelope, below
(And they've called President Bush "incurious." -- Try, ostrich-headed.)
PS: my apologies, but not inclined to do much proof reading of the above.

Having been previously told many times that we were about to see "the most beautiful Buddha," most of our group stayed on the bus to nap.
That was a mistake because this may indeed have been the most beautiful Buddha we saw during our stay in Thailand.
I still don't have my pictures from this trip edited and posted yet (it was only in 2006!), but pulled this image for printing last week and thought I would share it with all of you. Maybe I can find time to get back to those pictures soon!
