Witchery (the band) above /\ The poem below \/
Witchery, because I love the word
Witchery, because I am disturbed
You have become my infatuation
Give me the power to reach my destination!
On the outside, they will never know
as all appears unchanged, aglow.
While on the inside, bitter demons fight
They want to rage and boil, revenge their plight.
So, what is wrong with a little darkness inside?
Certainly it is justified!
And with certainty will I cast my spell
where evil dwells
will mercy quell…
Such overwhelming fascination
Such complete intoxication!
Witchery, you belong to me
Will you aid me to avenge the enemy?

CSU starts to see the light on pay
Facing criticism on many fronts -- including from The Times' editorial board -- California State University trustees backed down Tuesday from their long-planned, much-amended and nevertheless unacceptable proposal for setting salaries for campus presidents.
Instead, they adopted a last-minute, alternative proposal to cap the salaries of new presidents at no more than 10% above what the new hire's predecessor made. And that doesn't include the hefty $400,000 pay for the president of San Diego State University that caused such a ruckus last summer. At this point, the cap would be $325,000.
This sounds like a reasonable interim proposal, but the trustees still haven't come up with something that represents an equitable and smart policy for hiring good people without giving away the bank. Too bad so much time was wasted on the ill-conceived proposal that fell apart. It compared salaries at CSU with those at universities with medical schools, law schools, bigger endowments and bigger research budgets.
Meanwhile, let's hope that the two bills in the Legislature that would regulate pay for Cal State presidents are either withdrawn or die quickly. The provisions in those bills are more arbitrary and problematic than the proposal that died Wednesday. The trustees may have been less than nimble at devising a reasonable way to pay executives, but legislators know even less. Control of academia by politicians is seldom a good idea.

Cap on new Cal State campus presidents' pay urged

So I see a bunch o people pitting characters from different anime up against eachother. Lets see what you all think of this match up.
From Samurai Deeper Kyo. Alias: Demon Eyes Kyo/Kyo Mibu (also known as "The Thousand Slayer") Gender: Male Occupation: Samurai/Head of the Shiseiten/Last True Crimson King Age: 28 Height: 180 cm Weight: 66 kg Wields: Muramasa Kyo's weapon is Tenro, one of the "Four Great Demon Blades" It was forged by Muramasa, and it is nearly unbreakable. His sword style is The Sword of A Devilish Wind Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Satsujin Ken, which was taught to him by Muramasa. It teaches standard fencing skills and defense, but they are far more powerful than any of the skills of other sword styles. It is the most powerful sword school in the Mibu Clan. It utilizes attacks that can cut air and create illusions. He later learns a higher form of the style that utilizes the Four Symbols (Genbu, Seiryuu, Byakko,Suzaku and even Kouryuu, manifesting various different powers based upon the creatures. Kyo's Sword Style is called "Sword of Yang". The Yang Sword nullify an opponent's attack by hitting it with another attack of equal speed and energy. The Yang Sword has to block the opponent perfectly one tiny imperfection and user will take the blow without one to stop it
Now I'm going on BASICS and SWORDSMANSHIP here, which is why I didn't add and abilities or power he actually has access too.. otherwise I honestly think he is super over powered. haha
Next up we have from... yup, you probably guessed it. Ruroni Kenshin: Alias: Hitokiri Battōsai, Himura Battōsai, Himura Shinta Gender: Male Occupation: Rurouni, Hitokiri (former), Ishin Shishi swordsman (former) Age: 28 Height: 158 cm Weight: 48 kg Wields: Sakabatō Shinuchi. aka: Reverse Blade Sword Kenshin is perhaps most well known for his almost inhuman swordsmanship. Having inherited the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū sword style from his master, Hiko Seijūrō XIII, Kenshin's light frame allows him to use the style's "godspeed" to its fullest, moving so rapidly that he routinely outpaces the human eye. In the unlikely event his first strike misses his enemies, Kenshin uses his sheath to attack his opponent, making it almost impossible to beat him once he takes the battojutsu stance. His own prowess withBattōjutsu earned him his infamous moniker. Outside of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, Kenshin has displayed independent sword techniques which are indicative of his own acquired skills.
Okay, well now you have the basics to go off. and if you've seen both shows or read the manga I hope you can understand why I wished to keep it simple and not use any of their individual abilities for this bout. Go ahead and vote, and as always if you find any mistakes or just see something important that I left out post it up with your comment. ^_^ Thanks everyone.

Going from 37mm Venturis...
I've uncovered a tuning problem with my IDAs. I have and can see a lean hole with my wideband. I've tried to take care of the problem by adding a larger air correction jet to bring the main jet on earlier. It has been suggested that I swap the 37mm venturis and F11 emulsion tubes to 40mm venturis and F2 emulsion tubes. I'm worried that if I do I'll loose a bunch of bottom end. What are your thoughts?

Portrait of a Man
App Recipe: For this image I first cropped it square in Snapseed and then bumped up the detail and tuned it a bit.
Next I used PhotoViva on just the background to get rid of details I didn't like and blended it with the Snapseed version using Sketch Club.
I took the Snapseed edit and did two different versions using Glaze. I combined the two Glaze images with the Snapseed/PhotoViva image blending and erasing sections of the three layers and saved to my camera roll.
The final step was some minor adjustments in Snapseed of the combined image (details bump and white balance).Thanks to Lanie for the feature (@momma2maxh on Instagram)

Some uses for plastic bins and boxes include kitchen organization, office storage, a hanging sliding-storage system and do-it-yourself furniture projects. Plastic storage containers of any shape and size work well for these projects; assess the space to determine the ideal size to use.
Use a common Sterilite-brand, three-drawer plastic bin to create an office organizer with decorative finishes; the project takes about an hour to complete and the materials cost about $30. Supplies needed for this project include metallic gold spray paint, a plastic bin with drawers and metal bookplates. Remove the drawers from the bin and use the spray paint to paint them gold. To ensure that the paint doesn't carry or discolor other objects, use a drop cloth and paint in a well-ventilated area. Spray-paint the bookplates to match the bin frames and let them dry.
An ideal use for plastic bins is a hanging sliding-storage system. This project allows you to store seasonal or minimally-used items in space that would otherwise go unused. Supplies needed for this project include wood, a screwdriver, screws and wood glue to build the tracks, plastic bins, a ladder, and measuring tape. Ensure the storage system has a 2-foot clearance from any ceiling fixtures and that upon installation, the tracks are attached to a joist.

Most Agents cognise weighty descending internal that they want to do a finer job of prospecting in proclaim to advance business organization. They cognise that so semipermanent gross revenue glory is built through the donkey work of superficial for new business, but they do not do the activity. Unlike those Agents, if you poorness to succeed, you must deliver pay to clients former you have acquired them, but you have to get them in the past you can tennis stroke them. The guy who builds the first-rate trap solitary has a excellent mousetrap. He unmoving has to brainstorm human to buy it. Finding organism to buy it is often harder than creating the trap.
Rule #1: Schedule a circumstance to do it.
You should docket your prospecting hold-up for the aforesaid example on a daily basis. This juncture should be when you are the sharpest - at your peak-seaason concert. For me it was matutinal in the morning. I did my prospecting calls front state of affairs in the morning, because that was when I had the most strength. Your occurrence programme may be contrasting.Post ads:

For furthermost of us, plus myself, if the prospecting is not regular it doesn't get through with. The event for prospecting has to be processed as if it were a listing or payer naming. None of us would of all time deliberate of human being in arrears for or skipping either of those. You can't afford to not bother with a prospecting naming. The prospecting appointment feeds your fact list and client appointments. By protruding to your prospecting appointments, you will have oodles more list and consumer appointments to tough grind near.
Rule #2: Stay the class.
When you get diligent - because you will - don't close prospecting. Stay the pedagogy. Agents who cut off prospecting drive the groundball resident of income: one month . . . great, the subsequent . . . nil. The ups and downs of turnover are caused by the mutual exclusiveness of their prospecting. Resolve nowadays to hang on to up the impulse of prospecting!Post ads:

This hurdle happened to one of my clients. She was doing a unusual job prospecting, and she created more leads and business organisation than she could toy with. She past stopped prospecting. You can surmisal what happened; she took the big aquatic bird dive. We coached her "to lift up the bar" instead of fillet what's practical. What I plan by "to bring to the fore the bar" is to measure up your leads harder. You have the chance to prime bigger clients. You have attained the accurately finished your prospecting to career only next to outstandingly impelled buyers and thespian. The much motivated ancestors will aliment you better, esteem you more, and do what you say. What a intense consequence for prospecting! More business and easier associates to tough grind with - who wouldn't look-alike that?
Rule #3: Don't stress nearly what you can't adjust.
Don't trouble more or less the society who are not matrimonial when you send for. Don't worry almost the relatives who are cynical. Don't interest yourself almost the most advantageous clip to phone call. Don't wrestle around the requisites of the field - conscionable stage show. The parcel of land terms are the same for us all. Nobody takes earnestly the football trainer who says that the precipitation caused his squad to mislay - was it merely raining on his edge of the field? Focus on what you do have precisely now. What you have is the human on the some other end of the procession. Focus on small indefinite amount this party and seeing if you can figure out this person's puzzle if it's an expired or FSBO. If this is a chill call, or if you are calling individual in your farm, try to link near the mortal and cheque for motivation to sell. If you brainstorm mortal who doesn't have motivation, move on to the close individual. There is a four-letter word victorious income empire say all day - it's NEXT!
To be effective at prospecting, you must spawn a stubborn commitment to do it day after day minus fail. It's astonishing what a few calls both day will give up after a period. Start nowadays and act beside it. Stay the education through with the ups and downs. Don't disturb about property that are out of your power. Regular prospecting leads to authority of your commercial and of your wealth. It frees you to trade the docket you urge. If you entail give a hand effort started, afford us a telephone or call on our web holiday camp at . Don't interruption - inception present.

NUTRITION is one of the vital components within golf that is often overlooked.
Many players acknowledge the need for a balanced eating plan but very few fully understand the true benefits gained by monitoring food and water intake.
On many occasions I have been witness to statements from a number of golfers in both the amateur and professional ranks that the game of golf is 90% mental ability.
This statement is a matter of opinion, but what is fact is that maintaining a balanced diet specific to golf, will help increase levels of mental concentration.
Eating the correct types and quantities of food while hydrating properly will provide the necessary fuel sources to enable the muscles to work throughout the complete round of golf without any onset of fatigue.
This alone will increase your golfing ability as research shows that a 2% rise in fatigue of the muscles will result in 20% reduction of mental concentration.
More so, a reduction of 0.5% of bodily fluid results in 30% reduction in mental concentration, (to put this in perspective, you will begin to feel thirsty at a loss of about 2% of your bodily fluids. How often do you feel thirsty on the golf course?)
The reason for this is because when the muscles do not have sufficient levels of the correct fuel, the body will begin to prioritise what areas require the remaining fuel most, and unfortunately for the golfer the brain is one of the first to go!
As a result flaws will begin to show in the swing, wrong decisions will be made and a negative thought pattern will begin to emerge.
The importance of the brain's ability to concentrate will be explained in greater detail over the coming months.
We now understand the importance of eating and drinking but in order to maximise golf nutrition we must take a look at the type of food we eat!
When the balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat is incorrect a number of situations can arise. For example:
* Too many carbohydrates in the diet will increase the hormone called insulin, which in turn will lower the blood sugar levels and result in the brain being starved of energy.
* Protein in the diet stimulates the hormone called glucagon. Glucagon releases nutrients the working muscles, but excessive amounts of this hormone will lower the levels of nutrients to such as carbohydrates readily available.
* Fat in the diet is essential to the golfer, as fatty acids produce very powerful hormones known as eicosanoids. Eicosanoids control oxygen transfer and other hormones that are required for optimal performance and recovery. Fats, (especially monounsaturated fats) also slow the release of carbohydrates ( whatever their source) into the bloodstream preventing insulin surges, which as previously mentioned, has an adverse effect on the brain's ability to function.
Each individual requires a different combination of protein, carbohydrates and fat in order to optimise golfing performance, but simply monitoring the types of food you eat will have a positive effect on your game.
Try to incorporate more fruit and vegetables into your diet before you play as a good source of carbohydrates, while reducing the intake of starchy carbohydrates such as pasta, potatoes and rice.
During your round avoid chocolate or energy bars and drink water on a regular basis rather than soft drinks.
The following guidelines will ensure that your body has the necessary nutrients required to fulfil your true potential on the course, while enabling a full recovery after your round.
Competition or practice days:
* If possible eat your last meal three to four hours before your tee time.
* Eat small snacks 40 minutes before, every 40 minutes during and immediately after your game.
* Sip water on every hole to combat dehydration.
* Eat a fairly large meal two hours after your game has finished.

Time to get positive again
12/10/08 Wednesday
It's time to get back to having a positive attitude. I've had weeks of frustration and the depression that comes with facing my difficulties. I'm sure the word "disability" applies but I don't like using that word. I need to remind myself how blessed I am and not focus on the hard things.
It's so nice to have pictures to look back on again. There are some CD's I backed up pictures on a year or two ago that I want to load onto this laptop. I've yet to get the new external hard drive out of it's box and back up both mine and Cherie's computers. Keep intending to do it and, as usual, keep not getting to it. So that's a goal for today.
Here's another oil well they are drilling near us. I heard that it costs a million dollars to drill one.
Winter is here now. It went down to twenty degrees last night. When I saw that Ben wasn't going into the nice insulated doghouse I built, perhaps because Gretchen won't let him, I decided to not lock them in the kennel so they can keep each other warm as they cuddle up and sleep on the love seat we have on the veranda. I had to break the ice on their water this morning.
I don't know what I did yesterday but I know I didn't sow the rye seed I talked about yesterday. What should I do today? I need to start over on research for my business plan for one thing. I also need to at least open a folder and start again writing the stories that will make up parts of the books I plan on publishing. There was so much I lost with the computer crash. But, I've started life all over again from scratch so can handle starting everything else over as well. Cherie will dig up the back up CD's I made and I'm anxious to see what's on them. I can't remember if I backed up more than just pictures but I know the old journal is there somewhere.
Here's a picture of our house today. It always irritates me to see where my brother ripped off our grandmother by only painting half of the house she paid him to do. He constantly took advantage of her and sucked all the money out of her he could. But he lied and stole from me too so that's his nature I guess. I still have the check my grandmother sent me that he forged my name on the back of and cashed
The back half of the house is staying nice and warm from the fire in our woodstove. (Thanks again to Amy for that blessing) It would warm the rest of the house but we keep the air flow focused on the back room and bedroom where we spend most of our time. It's good that I cut and stockpiled over a cord of firewood for that. The wood Jeannie turned us onto when her neighbor's tree got damaged is a big part of that pile. It's good to have friends who look out for you, keep an eye out for things you can use.
I need to borrow Chuck and Lillian's trailer and collect more horse manure as I am sure it's piling up at the old man's and he would appreciate me keeping up with it as he no longer is spreading it out so I can get it. So that's something else I need to put on my to do list for today. Hope I actually do it.
Time to get moving.

Glad ya'll are keeping warm Bob. I was wondering how the weather was there...pretty cold here too, and we tend to keep all the doors closed so that the living room, bath and bedroom are the only rooms we have to heat. I think we have enough wood to get through the winter. I am used to having a 2-3 year supply, but being pregnant, kind of kept me from loading up on wood this summer. We are supposed to pick up a load of wood from my brother in law on Christmas Eve when we all get together.
Hope ya'll have a great Christmas, and with luck I can visit once the baby is born and we get settled.

Hi Amy, Good to hear from you. I lost the link to your site when my computer crashed but googled it yesterday and found it. This year we got a lot of wood but next year will be harder if we don't run into it like we did this year.

Ex-FrontPoint manager Skowron in talks with U.S. on fraud case
Chip Skowron, the ex-FrontPoint Partners LLC hedge-fund manager charged as part of a nationwide insider trading crackdown, is in talks with federal prosecutors that may involve plea negotiations, according to court filings.
Skowron was charged in April by the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan with conspiracy, securities fraud and obstruction. He was also sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Prosecutors claimed he obtained nonpublic information from Dr. Yves Benhamou, an expert in hepatitis drugs and a former adviser for Human Genome Sciences Inc. The tips concerned hepatitis C drug trials and enabled Greenwich-based FrontPoint to avoid more than $30 million in losses, the government said. Benhamou has since pleaded guilty.
"Counsel for the defendant and I have had ongoing discussions regarding a possible disposition of this case," Assistant Manhattan U.S. Attorney Pablo Quinones wrote in court papers filed June 13 in Skowron's case. "We plan to continue our discussions."
More than a dozen people have been charged by Bharara's office since November in cases tied to so-called expert networking firms. The consulting firms match hedge funds with industry experts who provide market advice. At least nine people have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury.
Winifred Jiau, a former consultant with expert networking firm Primary Global Research LLC, was convicted of securities fraud and conspiracy June 20 in Manhattan federal court.
Nationwide Probe
The broader U.S. probe of insider trading has implicated hedge funds, banks and insiders at technology companies. Bharara said that, since he took office, his prosecutors have charged 49 people with insider trading and 44 have been convicted.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman in New York signed an order June 13 granting prosecutors a one-month extension to obtain an indictment against Skowron. Since May, the government has twice obtained similar extensions in the case, according to court records. James Benjamin Jr., Skowron's lawyer, didn't return a call or e-mail seeking comment.
"This request can mean a whole range of things," said Stephen Miller, a former federal prosecutor in New York and Philadelphia who isn't involved in the case. "It can mean they're talking about the actual plea discussions, how much jail time is the government going to seek all the way to a prosecutor badgering a defense lawyer about `When are you going to get your client in to plead guilty?'" said Miller, now a partner at Cozen O'Conner.
Seeking to Delay
The defendant may also be seeking a delay "to buy more time to do more of an investigation or raise motions with the court," Miller added.
Skowron isn't the only insider-trading defendant charged by Bharara's office who was granted an extension by a magistrate.
In May, Manosha Karunatilaka, a former account manager at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. who was charged in December, pleaded guilty to sharing nonpublic information about the firm with Primary Global clients.
Karunatilaka was granted at least three extensions by U.S. magistrates in Manhattan, according to court filings. He waived indictment and pleaded guilty on May 11 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud.
Walter Shimoon, a consultant for Primary Global charged in December with insider trading, obtained at least five adjournments in his case, court records show. The most recent granted prosecutors a delay until July 6.
Shimoon's lawyer, Henry Mazurek, declined to comment.
Four Extensions
In the case of Benhamou, prosecutors were granted four extensions until he pleaded guilty in April to four counts including conspiracy, securities fraud and making false statements to the FBI.
Benhamou, of Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, was charged last year with insider-trading for allegedly tipping off a hedge fund about the results of trials for the drug Albuferon.
The U.S. identified Skowron, of Greenwich, and FrontPoint as the recipients of those tips on April 13. Skowron was accused of providing benefits to Benhamou, including paying him more than $14,600 in cash as well as providing gratuities such as hotel rooms, the U.S. said.
"When Dr. Skowron needed information, Dr. Benhamou was always on call, helping Skowron and his hedge fund illegally benefit to the tune of $30 million," Bharara said at a news conference in April announcing the case against the fund manager.
FrontPoint oversaw $7 billion at the start of November before Skowron, a co-portfolio manager of its health-care funds, was tied to claims by prosecutors that the firm got advance notice on drug-trial results.
FrontPoint's assets slipped to $4.5 billion by January and the firm closed its health-care funds. Benhamou's lawyer, David Zornow, and Steve Bruce, a spokesman for FrontPoint, declined to comment. Carly Sullivan, a spokeswoman for Bharara, declined to comment.

Is there an elegant, straightforward way to (1) redirect all visitors to my coming-soon landing page, and (2) allow me to work on the site and view my real home page behind the scenes?
I have already tried setting my home page as a static page -- using the landing page as the desired page -- but that prevents me from seeing my real home page.
I have also test run a number of coming-soon and under-construction plugins, but they prevent me from recreating the landing page as beautifully and perfectly as it is right now.
Hopefully there's an easy php, htacess or other solution? If so, please walk me through it like you would a baby taking first steps because I'm the ultimate dummy when it comes to these things.
Thanks in advance!http://vcvalencianophotos.com/September 27, 2013 at 11:06 am #64474
David ChuParticipant
If you want simple, just try one of these "coming soon" plugins. There are scads of them. They present a non-logged-in visitor with a special page. Then you can test your normal stuff, because you'll be logged in. My designer client I'm working with is using "Ultimate Coming Soon Page" on a site right now, and it's decent.
Dave Chu · Custom WordPress Developer – likes collaborating with DesignersSeptember 27, 2013 at 4:20 pm #64528
Thanks, Dave. Of all the plugins I've tried, "Ultimate Coming Soon Page" tops my list. But I can't seem to deploy a slideshow (created with the Slideshow plugin) that works great on my original landing page. I've posed a question to the Ultimate team and am waiting for a response. But if you have any other ideas in the meantime, let me know. Been messing with this for too long now. I've activated Coming Soon Mode so you can take a peek if and when you have a chance. Thanks again.September 28, 2013 at 8:28 am #64569
David ChuParticipant
Anything can be done, but you'd need some hacking skills, and this is well beyond the scope of Genesis support, to be honest.
I can point you in a direction. You could make an htaccess that will redirect anyone but you to a landing page. Best suggestion: just develop elsewhere, and then take it live later. Beyond that, just tell the client it can't be done.
Good luck, Dave
Dave Chu · Custom WordPress Developer – likes collaborating with DesignersSeptember 29, 2013 at 2:24 am #64655
Thanks, Dave.
The paid pro version of the Ultimate plugin (which is really quite awesome) does have slideshow capabilities but based on literature, wouldn't probably not give us the same level of slideshow options/control. So we opted instead to re-create the landing page elsewhere and point the main website to that page using a temporary 302 redirect (courtesy of the straightforward 302 Moved Temporarily plugin). Not as great for SEO as the Ultimate Plugin but considering the relatively short coming-soon duration, it'll do. That other site may eventually become our testing ground once the main site gains traction, though I am looking into developing and testing site locally on computer using wamp instead.
In any case, thanks so much for your advice, Dave. You've been most helpful.
All the best, Dennis

This wasn't really a budget speech, or even a State of the Union. It was a call to rebuild a country -- from its infrastructure, to its economy, to its values. Last night, Barack Obama called a new generation to a new American future. And from the "twittering" and Facebook status updates I am aware of going on last night, the new generation stayed up late to watch and got the speech they wanted-a vision for the new America they hope to raise their children in.
There hasn't been as much political vision or ambition in the chamber of the House of Representatives for decades as there was last night. It wasn't just a list of little ideas or a recitation of familiar symbols; it was a substantial diagnosis of America's crisis and the bold promise to find the solutions necessary. If the inaugural speech disappointed some for being more sobering than visionary, the call to action they were waiting for came last night.
The new president boldly declared that it is time to meet the big challenges. After telling Americans for the last month what we were up against, he said that America can and will rise to meet the challenge.
