Oysters are not part of the raw food diet, but from what I learned in this video they are good for you.One of the most interesting health benefits of oysters is that it is good for your sexual life. I have heard many times also that a great sexual life is the secret to a happy life.
Oyster is the highest food in zinc. Zinc besides being an immune system booster is great for testosterone production. Men and women need testosterone. – Human sperm has 800 times more zinc than the blood.
Not many vegetables and fruits contain zinc, therefore zinc is the number one deficient mineral in men and women. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc, but not as great as oysters. Five cups of pumpkin seed milk will have the equivalent amount of zinc found in a tiny oyster.
Our bodies needs zinc, for the immune system for hormone production and the endocrine system. If you find that your energy levels are low or your sex drive is low then you should eat oysters. It is said that Casanova, one of the famous lovers and womanizers, ate oysters every day. Oysters increases sperms. Sperms are the foundation in Chinese medicine.
It is better to eat the boiled oysters. Also from time to time you can eat raw oysters, but with all the pollution in the sea because of oil spillage, it is best to cook the oyster so the bacteria gets killed.
My parents were keen on eating oysters, just because it was considered a delicacy. I tried raw oysters for the first time in my life the other day and I can certainly say that I did not enjoy them. I have not tried boiled oysters and not sure I will .
If you are really not ready to eat oysters then you might want to drink pumpkin seed milk to get your zinc intake.
Share below, do you like oysters? Now that you know the benefits of them, are you willing to eat oysters?

Things To Do
Rodeo Daytrip
In case you didn't know, South Florida is home to a rodeo ground – and, is the host of the Southeastern Circuit Pro Rodeo Finals. We'll assume that this is a big deal, as I am sure most of us know nothing about the rodeo. Which just means that it gives us the opportunity to learn something new, and visit a place in South Florida most of us have never been to. Check the Pro Rodeo Schedule here and plan a date with friends, giving everyone an excuse to don their signature cowboy/girl hat and boots – but let's leave the Wranglers to the locals.
2 p.m. Tom Jenkins' Bar-B-Q
1236 South Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale
Website: www.tomjenkinsbbq.com
Cost: $15
Tom Jenkins' is on the way to Davie (it's actually located in Fort Lauderdale, but it feels like it's in Davie). It's known for having the best Bar-B-Q in South Florida, so it's a must for this itinerary. What better way to get into the cowboy-state-of-mind then to eat and smell like BBQ? The food it great (think baby back ribs (or fried catfish) baked beans, mac' and cheese, corn bread and corn on the cob) and the atmosphere feels like you're under tented picnic at a county fair. It's a good reminder that, with cooking like this, Florida actually can be considered part of the South.
8 p.m. Bergeron Rodeo Grounds
4271 Davie Road, Davie
Website: www.davie-fl.gov/gen/daviefl_spclprjcts/bergeronrodeo
Cost: $20
I bet most of you can never say you've been to a Rodeo – but now you can! Be ready to enter a foreign land. A land full of Wranglers, boots, accents, 'yee-haws,' and randomly enough, sequins. The rodeo grounds have everything a cowboy could ever want: a beer tent, cotton candy, a mechanical bull, and even tractors. You do your rounds in the little market, score yourself a beer, and then sit in the bleachers and wait for the bright lights to come on and the show to start.
This is a true Wild West sporting event. Man against animal. Designed to test the speed and skill of the cowboy versus the nature of the beast. If you're an animal lover, you'll probably do what I did, and root for the beasts. Caution: this may cause dirty looks from around the arena, but its just makes the game more interesting. This sport already has more aspects of pageantry and theater unlike any other professional sport; not to mention the people watching. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
10 p.m. Round Up Country Western Nightclub & Restaurant
9020 West State Road 84, Davie
Website: www.roundupnightclub.com
Cost: $20-$30
You can't just go home after a rodeo. Especially not when you don your go-to cowgirl hat. It just wouldn't be right. The hat must make appearances! And, in Davie, the place to go is the Round Up. This place is pretty spectacular. Besides having amazing drink prices, the whole aura makes it feel like you're outside at a county fair just a-waitin' for a cowboy to ask you to dance. But while it can be fun to just watch people do the choreographed dances, it's even more fun to try them. So, make those boots work, and just think, at least you're saving a horse…

If I were to describe my collection of pages published at Wizzley.com, the word eclectic would paint a very nice picture.
My first article – accepted for publication
twofive years ago - was about modern day Arabs who claim to be the seed of Abraham and there is no reason why anybody should doubt their claims. The Hebrew patriarch that the Jews, Christians and Muslims all call Father Abraham had many sons (one by his first wife, Sarah; one by his first wife's maid servant, Hagar; and several more by his second wife, Keturah, whom he married after the death of his first wife). Those sons had a bunch more sons and the lineage just kept on growing!! One of the sons of Abraham was Ishmael and he went to live in the desert. It is believed that the "desert people", the Arabs, are his descendants.
My pages are eclectic because finding a "niche" has proven to be a most difficult task. Can't seem to find a specific topic to focus on. Consequently, my pages are about movies , music and books ; real estate , art , history , food , blogging , etc. To date, 37 pages have been published.
The Wizzley Team encourages their writers to publish a Wizzography ; which is very similar to our introductions here at Persona Paper; only it's not required. Very much enjoy writing at this site and the community is exceptionally friendly and supportive and … way smarter than me! :)

TOKYO, -- The first Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) for the Japan Air Self-Defence Force (JASDF) was handed over at Luke Air Force Base (AFB) in Arizona on 28 November.
The arrival of aircraft 69-8701 (also designated AX-1) at the 944th Fighter Wing (FW) marks a significant milestone in the JASDF's F-35A programme to replace its ageing Mitsubishi-McDonnell Douglas F-4EJ Kai (Phantom II) aircraft that have been in service since the early 1970s.
This aircraft will join the international training fleet at Luke AFB that will instruct Foreign Military Sales (FMS) pilots and maintainers from Israel, Japan, and South Korea, along with partner nations Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, and Turkey. In addition to the FMS and partner nation mission led by the 944 OG/Det 2 'Ninjas', Luke AFB is scheduled to have six US Air Force fighter squadrons made up of 144 F-35As.
Japan has committed itself to buying 28 F-35As over the next five years (six of which are under contract), and has a total requirement of 42 aircraft. After the fleet begins arriving in-country in fiscal year 2017, it will initially be based at Misawa. The initial operating unit is expected to be either 301 or 302 Squadron.
The total cost of the deal including purchasing, maintenance, and repairs is estimated at JPY1.6 trillion (USD14 billion), but this figure may rise further. With four aircraft being manufactured at Fort Worth in Texas, the remaining 38 will be licence-built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan.

text: At times, while sleeping, I'll wake up with the feeling that I can't breath. I feel as if I have to gasp for air. This usually happens about two to three hours after I go to sleep. If I sit up or get up and go for a walk, it straightens out. My aunt has this same problem lately. For me, I have discovered these last few days that if I stay away from dairy products within 4 hours of going to sleep, it doesn't happen. For both of us, there is a feeling of fullness at the point where the throat connects to the chest. For me, it's as if there is a small pillow in there stuck. There is no acidy feeling, no chest pain, no rapid heartbeat. Just a feeling of lack of air. For my aunt, she feels as if she can't exhale very well. As for me, I am a bit overweight. As for her, she is at the proper weight, perhaps a bit under. She has also had thyroid cancer, but this stuffyness feeling is lower than that was.:eek:Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

De Molen Winterporter
Reviewed by Brady White on January 7, 2015 in Winter Guide

- Origin: Bodegraven, Netherlands

The Review
This 330ml bottle pours a clear (I believe), dark, dark ruby amber hue, with a teeming tower of puffy, densely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves a few chunky swaths of snowdrift lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of biscuity, bready caramel malt, tart black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, musty yeast, a faint root beer earthiness, and plain weedy, leafy hops. The taste is gritty, grainy caramel and pale malt, semi-sweet cocoa powder, acrid dark fruit – prunes and dried cherries, mostly – a slight sour milkiness, a touch of brown sugar, and earthy, leafy, and slightly grassy hops. The bubbles are rather invasive on the palate, manifesting in a tight fizziness at best, the body on the light side of medium weight for the style, and not particularly smooth, see the carbo report for further detail. It finishes off-dry, the chocolate, caramel, and bready malt doing well to persist, alongside a peppy sour fruitiness.
Definitely pushing the boundaries of what an English Porter should be, what with its attendant sourness, which of course, makes it all the more American in style. Not a bad brew, but they really need to dial down the carbonation a few notches (an unmentioned bottle conditioning, maybe?), and then they actually may be on to something here.

There is nothing new to say about Rubik's Cube. One of the best selling toys of all time was invented by Hungarian architect Erno Rubik more then 30 years ago, presents logical problem very well explained by now. However, the old puzzle doesn't stop to inspire, new software technologies makes it possible to develop quite innovative games on that concept. Next few paragraphs will try to describe some, of many free 3D puzzle games online, that are obviously derived from Magic Cube but yet implied problems are quite different.
As it is said on it's Web page, presents problem similar to the one found in Rubik's Cube. On the second look, however, only what is similar is the basic task of putting together a scrambled set of cubes but both, the cubes setting and the combinatorics behind the problem is completely different. And yes, level of difficulty is probably similar.
Standard version of Qubrix consists of nine cubes disposed in a 3X3 manner so that, while they have initial orientations, an image is shown on the front face. There are six images, one for each side of the cube, and players have option to chose their own, any available on the net can be used. After clicking play button an automatic scrambling sequence is started.
After scrambling is finished player gets a four arrow interface enabling him to rotate cubes around vertical or horizontal axes. In each level adjacent cubes are geared to each other using different pattern, apart of the first, easiest level where all the cubes are free ie. disconnected, when you rotate one cube one or more adjacent are also rotating. Considering variety of patterns used for connecting the cubes combinatorics behind is significantly different for each level only for the level five it should be very similar to Rubik's Cube.
User interface is quite simple, arrows follows movement of the cursor and clicking the MENU button turns on/off starting screen. Because problem is rather difficult there is an option to restart level during the game, ie. to choose easier or heavier one. Also, it is possible to pick up one particular image to solve just by repeated clicking on the LEVEL button few times.

3D Logic
The famous 3D logic puzzle from Alex Matveev. Rotate the magic cube with your mouse and connect fields with the same color. You have completed a cube, if all color pairs are linked. You can not connect cells diagonally and black cells are blocked. You can clear the complete cube and undo the last step with the buttons on the bottom. Have fun!
"3-D Logic looks very similar to Rubik's Cube but much more challenging. It involves colors and squares on a cube, but it's a very different beastie; this game makes you rethink every approach you make. Click on the main color squares to change the color of the grey squares. Use this ability to link colors into chains. Like many great games, this takes a simple idea and makes it compelling.

Government to publish simplified version of the budget today
Starting this fiscal year, the Government of Jamaica will be publishing in both national newspapers t he Citizen's Guide to the Budget starting today.
According to the Fiscal Policy Paper (FPP) which was tabled by the Minister of Finance and the Public Service Dr Nigel Clarke on Thursday along with the budget, the innovation is designed to "present the budget in simple non-technical terms for the benefit of all segments of the Jamaican population".
The document is expected to be published on the Sunday following the tabling of the budget annually from now on, the FPP said on fiscal reporting.
The FPP said that going forward there are some significant fiscal reporting changes to be implemented, most notably:
At the start of FY 2016/17, the central government adopted a Revised Chart of Accounts (RCOA). Although the Estimates of Expenditure for 2016/17 were prepared and presented in the RCOA format, the Revenue Estimates were not. The RCOA establishes a set of standard accounting codes for revenue, expenditure, assets and liabilities to be used throughout the public sector in order to standardize Government's financial reports.
The revenue estimates presented in this FPP and in the Revenue Estimates 2018/19 utilise the RCOA reflecting a number of changes in the classification of some revenue elements. For example, effective 2017/18, collections for Quarry tax, Telecommunications licences and import licences collected by the Trade Board and formerly captured as non-tax revenue are now reflected as tax revenue, while royalties are now captured as non-tax revenue rather than capital revenue.
As of 2018/19, the government has formally reflected the revenues from three de-earmarked entities — the CHASE Fund, Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) and the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCCA) as non-tax revenue flows. These entities were, in the past, allowed to retain their revenues to carry out their activities. However, with the advent of the de-earmarking policy, these three entities are now fully reflected in the central government's Estimates of Expenditure.
In conformity with the enhanced fiscal rules, the ministry will continue monitoring and reporting on the specified public sector (SPS) in 2019/20. Reporting on central government operations and on public bodies will continue; however, these will be augmented by the compilation of the fiscal balance and public Debt for the SPS, which started in 2017/18, as required by the FAA Act 2014.
Based on assessments done by the ministry and authenticated by the Auditor General's Department, no public body meets the criteria to be excluded from the SPS. Thus for 2018/19 to 2022/23 forecast, the SPS equates to the overall public sector.
The Estimates of Expenditure as of 2018/19 includes forward expenditure estimates or 'forward estimates' and covers three future financial years. The forward estimates are aligned with the medium term aggregate expenditure ceilings as reflected in the fiscal management strategy.
These estimates are indicative and are not voted on by the Parliament. The Parliament will continue, as it currently does, to vote only on the expenditure presented for the budget year (in this case 2019/20). The spending authorisation by Parliament will continue to be only in respect of the expenditure for the budget year. The Appropriations Bill will continue to reflect only the appropriations for the budget year.
There will also be presentational changes to the Estimates of Expenditure including:
a) the amalgamation of the Capital A & Capital B Budgets of each ministry, into a single Capital Budget Head for the ministry
b) The removal of amortisation from the Capital Budget to a new Head: 20017 – Public Debt Service (Amortisation), under the Recurrent Budget to allow the Capital Budget to exclusively reflect the Central Government's Public Investment Projects. The inclusion of amortisation under the Capital Budget has over the years been a source of confusion to users of the Estimates of Expenditure.
c) amalgamation of the budgets of the courts under a Single Head 28058 — The Judiciary. This will affect the following courts and Court Management Services, each of which previously appeared as individual Heads of Estimates and received separate budgetary allocations : Head 28023 – Court of Appeal; Head 28027 – Parish Courts; Head 28026 – Family Courts; Head 28028 – Revenue Court; Head 28029 – Supreme Court; Head 28054 – Court Management Services.
Within six months of the passage of the Appropriation Act for the respective fiscal year, the minister of finance is required to table in both Houses of Parliament, a Fiscal Policy Paper (FPP). This requirement arose under the enhanced fiscal rules, which were made effective through amendments to the Financial Administration and Audit (FAA) and Public Bodies Management and Accountability (PBMA) Acts in March 2014.
Another requirement under the FAA Act is that the annual Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure and the accompanying FPP be tabled simultaneously in February of each year, such that passage of the budget prior to the start of the new fiscal year is facilitated.
The tabling of both the annual Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure and the accompanying FPP affords both Houses of Parliament the opportunity to examine both sides of the budget.
This complete information satisfies the need for transparency and robust debate among parliamentarians who are entrusted with oversight of the management of public funds and have ultimate responsibility for the performance of the economy.

What would mystery fiction do without construction crews? Hardhats are the homicide division's most hands-on helpers, always stumbling upon skeletons while tearing down walls and building foundations. Many a crime story begins when the remodeling does. All you Mr. and Ms. Fix-Its out there should think twice before swinging that sledgehammer into the plaster this weekend: You never know what (or whom) you might hit.
In the moody German mystery "Snow White Must Die," an unlucky backhoe operator sets the tale in motion. During the demolition of a former military airfield near Frankfurt, this fellow scoops up a rusted fuel tank. To his horror, the tank turns out to be filled with bones and a human skull. Faster than the coroner can pronounce that the remains belong to someone who has been kaput for more than a decade, the plot thickens into a Gothic goulash of envy, betrayal and yearning turned rancid.
"Snow White Must Die" was published in Germany in 2010 and has been a bestseller in Europe. It's easy to see why. Nele Neuhaus has a flair for the ominous and the ornate. Her primary setting, the village of Altenhain, makes those secretive villages in Agatha Christie novels seem as harmless as a collection of gingerbread houses. Altenhain is the anti-Christie town: Instead of quaintness, it offers decay; instead of Miss Marple, there's a spiteful populace of voyeurs whose curiosity stokes the smoldering embers of violence.
So many subplots fork off the main narrative that this novel should be sold with a GPS. The gist of the most important storyline is this: 11 years ago, two teenage girls disappeared from Altenhain (the aforementioned bones in the fuel tank belong to one of them). Both frauleins were last seen in the company of local heartthrob Tobias Sartorius, and, based on circumstantial evidence (lots of blood in his car, one victim's personal effects in his bedroom), he was convicted of their probable murders and sent to prison. He always protested his innocence, but since he was drunk on that fateful night, he's not completely certain.
When the novel opens, Tobias, now in his early 30s, has served his sentence and just returned to Altenhain. Like George Bailey returning to Bedford Falls in that noir nightmare, "It's a Wonderful Life," Tobias finds that all is changed: The family's once lively restaurant is long shuttered, his parents have split up, and the villagers shun him and spray nasty graffiti on his house.
The only person who gives him the time of day is a newcomer, a sympathetic young waitress at a local tavern, whose Goth looks remind him of one of the long-vanished girls, whose nickname was "Snow White." When this waitress disappears, her cellphone is discovered in Tobias's pocket! Once again, Tobias was blotto during the critical time period and can't remember whether he committed foul play. The past — or a malevolent manipulator of Tobias and the Altenhain townsfolk — has returned with a vengeance.
This is not a case for the easily distracted, and Neuhaus's aristocratic police detective hero, Oliver von Bodenstein, has trouble staying focused on his work because he suspects that his filmmaker wife, Cosima, may be canoodling with another man. Neuhaus delicately dramatizes Oliver's ambivalence about digging deeper into Cosima's activities (a situation that mirrors Tobias's dread of discovering, once and for all, the truth about his own guilt or innocence). Even when Oliver finds an incriminating text message on Cosima's phone, he resolves to stay in the dark for as long as he can: "He would preserve the appearance and illusion of an intact relationship for a while yet. It might be cowardly, but he simply didn't feel capable of grabbing hold of his life and smashing it to bits. There was still a tiny hope that things weren't as they seemed."
That all-too-human impulse to preserve illusions lies at the heart of the many, many crimes in "Snow White Must Die." Neuhaus is a writer for whom more is better, so that every time we think this mystery is drawing to a satisfactory close, we confront more extreme situations: revelatory paintings behind hidden panels, flooded dungeons, widespread insanity masked by sweet smiles. As its title suggests, "Snow White Must Die" possesses some of the excess and off-kilter eeriness of the original Grimms' fairy tale, before Disney came along to give Snow White a princess makeover in pastels.

Do you have a stiff or painful jaw that clicks, pops, or locks up when you try to move it? If so, you might be experiencing something called TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder. The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is the small set of hinges in front of your ears that enables your jaw to move fluidly whenever you speak, eat, laugh, or yawn. Like other joints in the body, it can sometimes become injured, strained, or misaligned.
To address these issues, the team at Stonebriar Smile Design will utilize something called neuromuscular dentistry. This discipline addresses not only your teeth, but your jaw, neck, and head as one unit. Usually, what affects one will also impact the other. You might be very surprised that the initial injury could be much lower on your body like an ankle or knee that works its way up the skeletal framework all the way to your TMJ. If you are exhibiting TMD symptoms, our team will determine the root cause of your pain, and then we can recommend a variety of treatments that will provide relief. If you suffer from chronic jaw pain or frequent migraine headaches, we can help take away your pain with TMJ therapy. To make an appointment, please contact us today.

Sometimes we need to show our secondary window to cover the whole screen. Many of us are not aware of two new features available in IE .These new features control the newly opened window in an entirely new way.
Opening PopUp Window in FullScreen Mode :
Using window.open() method, we can set the width/height,location ,toolbars etc programatically . Well along with all these features there is a new feature called "fullscreen" .With this feature the window.open() method opens a new window in full screen mode . Use the syntax below to implement the "fullscreen" feature.
<script type="text/javascript"> window.open("Test.htm","","fullscreen") </script>
One more new feature in IE that is very similar to "fullscreen" feature described above is "channelmode" . This is also similar to the fullscreen mode but this one is more user friendly as the title bar is also avaiable in this mode . So the user can close the window by click on the "X" button . But in the fullscreen mode there is no facility to close the window . So the
user has to use "ALT F4 " to close the window . Use the syntax given below to implement the "channelmode" feature.
<script type="text/javascript"> window.open("Test.htm","","channelmode") </script>

Horse baby season, that is.
Cartier/Portia colt from amanda chance on Vimeo.
Huge congrats to my good friend Michelle at Willow Tree Farm on her first foal of the season – a big, perfect, and gorgeous bay colt.
He's by Cartier R
out of an A/O jumper mare, Portia, who is by Pikadero.
This guy should be a hunter derby or jumper star, and super amateur friendly! And it looks like he'll stay bay, which is even better so he can keep his chrome. I think he is for sale too. 😉
I'm so glad it's baby season, I love seeing all the pictures of the new foals on facebook! I am living vicariously through Michelle these days to get my horse baby fix. Next up for her will be my grandfoal – Sadie's first baby – but it's not due until July. I'm pretty sure I heard Michelle say she really wants a plain chestnut filly, so keep your fingers crossed. (I kid, I kid… that would be funny though… for me at least, since it's not mine…)

Isobel Pooley wants to qualify for the World Championships in style as she seeks to retain her national title and Heather Watson produces brilliant performance to book third-round spot at Wimbledon. Here's our review of the last 24 hours.
Isobel Pooley is determined to book her World Championship spot when she looks to retain her British crown in Birmingham this weekend.
It is set to be a star-studded high jump at the British Championships with rising star Morgan Lake also taking part.
The pair battled it out at this year's Indoor Championships in Sheffield with Pooley third best on that day and Katarina Johnson-Thompson coming out on top.
But since then Pooley has found some for and jumped 1.94m at the European Team Championships in Cheboksary.
And she wants to scale the same heights again as she looks to confirm her spot for the Worlds in Beijing next month.
"I'd like to get 1.94 again at least to attain automatic selection. I think that would feel amazing, to know on the day that I'm going to Beijing and have that in my pocket," she said.
"The title is a massive deal, it's always fantastic to be a champion, not just a winner but a champion. So that is a huge target especially with the domestic field as strong as it is. To jump high in front of a home crowd would be amazing."
Heather Watson insists the prospect of squaring up to world number one and five-time champion Serena Williams doesn't frighten her after she stormed into the third round at Wimbledon with a straight sets victory over Daniela Hantuchova.
Watson made light work of Hantuchova in the end as she ran out a 6-4 6-2 winner to make the third round at SW 19 for the second time in her career.
And despite the setting up a clash with Williams next, Watson believes anything is possible as she targets the fourth round.
"It's not fair when people predict the future, but Serena's a great player. She is a great champion and always the one to watch, always the favourite. I look forward to playing her," she said.
Elsewhere Liam Broady's competition came to an end after he was beaten in straight sets by David Goffin 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 6-1
Head coach Bobby Crutchley believes his Great Britain hockey side are capable of beating the best after victory over Pakistan set up a Hockey World League semi-final clash with Australia.
First-half strikes from Chris Griffiths and Alastair Brogdon put the Brits in control but a 48th minute strike from Muhammad Umar Bhutta made for a tense finish.
However, they came through in the end and move a step closer to qualification for Rio 2016
"It was job done really. I'm pleased we got through," said Crutchely. "There were a lot of key performances in the team and we showed we can work hard when the games get tight.
"We'll prepare well for Australia. It'll be a tough game but we're looking forward to it. We played them a couple of times recently and had a win and a loss. We showed we're capable of beating them and we'll be hoping to do it again."
After their Baku expedition Kieran Slater, Amy Oliver, Naomi Folkard and Nicky Hunt will all make the trip to this year's World Championships in Copenhagen.
Slater will be joined by Larry Godfrey and Patrick Huston in the recurve while Oliver, Folkard and Hunt are the trio selected for the women's event.
In the compound Naomi Jones, Danielle Brown and Lucy O'Sullivan all get the nod while Adam Ravenscroft, Mark Rudd and Duncan Busby go for the men.

Witch Hunting for a Paladin
The internet stalking has reached a frenzied pitch this week folks after the author of Paladin Schmaladin was revealed as a fraud. People are knee deep in IP address tracking and photo-lurking via whatever means are available to them, squirreling out caches from old web sites and forum posts. I am not kidding these people are digging and i mean digging deep and they all want to know who the heck farraro really is….wha? mmmhmm.
If you want you can read about it here via a post from jagoex over at Warlock Therapy. I actually love this blog (paladin schmaladin that is.) If all this is true i feel sad for farraro that he/she felt like they couldn't be truthful about who they really were. The blog itself truly stands alone as an amazing paladin resource. You don't have to be an uber cute chick to get readers. I could care less whether the author was cute or a haggle fish or if it had 1 author or 7 . I would still read it and enjoy it. I probably will still read it and enjoy it. The drama surrounding Paladin Schmaladin doesn't take away from the quality of the content contained in it IMO although i can see how others might feel differently.
Good luck farraro!
your friendly neighborhood locktard,

Cancel and Stop an iTunes DownloadIf you want to get rid of a download in iTunes that won't stop or that keeps coming back, try this.
Sometimes large files insist on downloading, and iTunes does not make it easy to stop them permanently. These instructions apply to iTunes 12.2.2 running on a Mac, but I hope they'll be of use to Windows users, too.
One solution is to let the download complete then delete the file. This is not always advisable, particularly for very large files that cause bandwidth or storage problems.
If you haven't managed to stop the downloads at all, the first thing to do is pause them. If you have already done that much, move on to Cancel the Download
Pause the downloadThe first thing to look for is the download indicator in iTunes itself. This icon appears in the top right of the window and is a downward arrow inside a circle.
Click on the icon to open a list of ongoing or queued downloads. You can then click to pause all downloads.
In this example, a download of Modern Combat 5 is ongoing. To pause it, I can click either the small pause button (two vertical parallel lines in a circle) on the right of each listed download, or the larger Pause Downloads button at the bottom.
If you have multiple ongoing downloads, clicking the larger Pause Downloads button will pause all of them.
In this example, the download is now paused. I can resume it by clicking either the small resume button (arrow in a circle) on the right of each listed download, or the larger Resume Downloads button at the bottom.
As with pausing, the individual buttons will resume individual downloads, but the larger Resume Downloads button will restart all of your downloads.
This allows you to pause downloads, but they will stay in your queue and will try to resume any time you relaunch iTunes.
How do you get rid of them?
Cancel the DownloadThe first step in cancelling the download is to open a Finder window on your Mac and navigate to
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads
In there, you will find a folder for each ongoing download. There will also be a file called list.plist in the Downloads folder.
(I recommend making a backup of all these files.
As always, proceed with caution,
at your own risk,
no liability accepted,
not my fault if you screw it up, etc.
Regular backups are a good idea anyway.)
Keep a copy of list.plist - copy it onto your Desktop or somewhere like that. You may need it later.
Quit iTunes.
Delete (or move) all the files and folders inside the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads folder.
When you next launch iTunes it will create a new list.plist file in that folder. If you want to make extra-sure that it doesn't recreate your download list, you can use the back-up you made of that list.plist file to create a blank version of the list.
To do this, open the file list.plist in a text editor such as TextEdit or TextWrangler.
You'll see that it lists the items in your download queue.
Delete those items so that you're left with this:
Save the list.plist file and put this new version into the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads folder.
Restart iTunes and (fingers crossed) you should find that there are no ongoing downloads.
If you moved rather than deleted the files and folders inside the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads folder, and you're satisfied that the fix has worked, you can now delete them.

Xerox Phaser 3200MFP Driver Download. Review – There was a time when multi-function Xerox printers as well as copy machines were only the domain name of big-budget business firms. However with today's low pricing, also the smallest and also home-based businesses could currently pay for to scan, duplicate and also fax Xerox-style. The firm's most recent entry to the SOHO market is the Phaser 3200MFP, a black-and-white laser printer/copier/scanner/ fax loaded right into a small space-saving unit. Offered in two versions, the $399 3200MFP/B supports connection by USB while the $499 3200MFB/N includes support for Ethernet networking.
Xerox Phaser 3200MFP Driver Download
The Phaser Unboxed
Thanks to its modest measurements, the Phaser 3200MFP can be from the box and setup to enter simply a number of minutes. Other than a couple of strips of delivery tape, the toner cartridge as well as the paper tray cover, there are no difficult "some assembly needed" guidelines.
When it involves printer, in some cases as well little is a reason for problem. There are some really tiny, very cheap laser printers on the market that don't inspire self-confidence. The Phaser 3200MFP weighs in at 24 extra pounds and actions 15-inches high, 17-inches wide, and virtually 15-inches deep– considerable adequate to really feel solid, however little enough to match on a desk. The Phaser's lid consists of a 30-sheet automated paper feeder for scanning, and also lifts up to expose a flatbed scanner. The control board gives accessibility to significant copying, scanning as well as fax functions, but its numeric key-board requires typing any alphabetic personalities in "touch-tone phone" style, where each number corresponds to a team of letters. An LED food selection with basic navigating lets you set up a range of features and produce analysis records.
Xerox Phaser 3200MFP Driver Download A rather flimsy extendable outcome tray supports approximately 100 pages. Listed below the output tray, the device available to expose the skin toner cartridge. The device ships with a reduced-capacity cartridge with skin toner for concerning 1,500 web pages, yet replacement cartridges are rated from 2,000 to 3,000 pages relying on dots-per-inch (dpi) and also print quality setups.
The 250-sheet paper input tray is truly a shelf with a hood, as opposed to the type of detachable tray you discover in an enterprise-quality laser. It sustains different weights of paper– approximately 24 extra pound. You can feed much heavier weights– as much as 43 extra pound– with the manual avoid tray, but just one sheet at a time.
Establish it Up
Our examination unit, the 3200MFP/B, sustains just USB connectivity, so arrangement was just a matter of linkeding into a USB 2.0 port as well as a power socket. The networked variation might call for configuring network settings through the system's food selection, depending on your network design. It is necessary to comply with guidelines: link and also power up the Phaser before introducing the set up CD. The wizard will install the ideal USB drivers, ink-jet printer motorists for PCL 6/5e as well as Postscript 3 emulation, scanner motorist and optional auxiliary software.
If you set up the printer on a Windows machine, you can mount the ControlCentre software application, which lets you configure certain Phaser activities. For example, you can define that a certain program be launched when a document is checked. ControlCentre likewise assists managing the fax recipient phone book and can deliver firmware upgrades to the Phaser.
Xerox consists of vehicle drivers for all significant versions of Windows consisting of Vista, in addition to Linux, with assistance for Fedora, Red Hat, Mandrake and SUSE. Linux individuals could install only motorists without supplemental software application. Got a Mac? After that see to it you buy the 3200MFP/N design– it's the only one that supports Mac OS X.
Primary Printing.
At its core, the Phaser 3200MFP is a printer with a checkbook-friendly rate point. With support for around 1, 200 dpi, the Phaser offers high resolution for a budget plan laser. With 64MB of memory and also a 300Mhz cpu, Xerox asserts that it could result the first page of a print task in under 10 seconds and keep up as much as 24 pages per min then.
Xerox Phaser 3200MFP Driver Free Download – Standards aside, the Phaser does undoubtedly reverse web pages swiftly– visibly faster compared to some of the competitors. Yet with only a 100-sheet result tray, it will additionally fill quickly, also.
The printer vehicle driver defaults to 600 dpi, which could start saving toner and is greater than adequate for many text papers. The driver setups are clearly laid out, making it easy to bump the ink-jet printer around 1,200 dpi for graphics, or readjust various other printing functions, like replicate copies or assistance for n-Up printing– pressing as much as 16 pages on one sheet. You could also set up the ink-jet printer driver to instantly install a watermark into published pages, which can be picked from the consisted of presets or a custom style. At a substitute price of less than $100, the Phaser skin toner cartridge is the only long-term upkeep thing. Unlike some competing ink-jet printers, the 3200MFP does not have a different drum that needs changing.
Duplicate That.
Besides printing, the most prominent usage for a multi-function ink-jet printer is walk-up duplicating. The Phaser is basic and clean here– place a paper on the flatbed, press the environment-friendly "Start" button, and also in a couple of secs, it spits out a copy. Additionally, you can accumulate to 30 sheets in the ADF, as well as the Phaser will duplicate the pages with the touch of a button.
From the control panel on the Phaser you can reduce and also increase the size of duplicates, or pick from a number of special-purpose copy modes grouped under the button slightly identified "Fave Copy." These include supposed "ID card duplicate" which copies two-sided records onto one web page, allowing you to flip the file in between scans, an auto-fit method which will automatically scale a record to match the page, 2- and 4-up methods to scale multiple web pages onto one, and also a poster mode that blows up a record across a number of tiled web pages.
Scan It In.
Both the flatbed scanner as well as automated file feeder could do shade scans as much as 4,800 dpi. The Phaser 3200MFP/B supplies scans just to a scanner-aware application on the connected PC, whereas the networked version can send out scans directly to network destinations such as common folders or e-mail.
Xerox Phaser 3200MFP Latest Driver Download – In Windows, the scanner can be configured to introduce a specific application when you start scanning at the Phaser. Conversely, with TWAIN as well as WIA vehicle drivers mounted, you could by hand start a check from within any type of assisting application, consisting of most graphics programs like Photoshop and also Acrobat. Xerox consists of "Scan to PC Desktop computer Personal Version" for individuals without already existing scan-ready software program. automatic record feeder appears an useful beep when it discovers page attachment. Feeding pages works efficiently as well as scanning is quickly, yet the Phaser 3200MFP's ADF does not support duplexing. The allure of an ADF remains in the name– automated. Doing not have reverse feed suggests you need to by hand turn the stack to check the backside of web pages, which isn't really virtually as automated as it ought to be.
Merely the Fax.
In spite of its seemingly clunky and antique nature, the fax survives. With a built-in 33.6 Kbps modem, the Phaser 3200MFP could send and receive faxes like it's 1999. Not that this reflects any sort of limitation on the Phaser's component– it sustains photo compression, a recipient phone book, recipient speed dial, re-dial, delayed dial, group and program dialing, plus sending out faxes directly from your connected PC or the Phaser's scanner.
Incoming faxes can be output straight to paper, or held in the Phaser's memory for later printing, which Xerox calls "Secure Finding Mode." The Phaser will also hold inbound faxes in memory if the printer is hectic at the time of delivery. The Phaser can immediately go into fax function mode immediately, manually, or based upon a distinctive-ring pattern sent by the communications provider. Although the Phaser 3200MFP/B can hold incoming faxes in its memory, it does not support a purely digital shipment path– that is, let you fetch the faxes from the COMPUTER without needing to print them to hardcopy. On the other hand, the 3200MFP/N networked model does sustain e-mail distribution of inbound faxes.
Compact Remedy.
Whereas some competing MFP's might pack in even more functions, Xerox is placing the Phaser 3200MFP to stabilize energy with quality. In spite of the affordability of the Phaser and also its compact physical dimension, it primarily really feels as well as does solidly, although the paper output tray could be a little more sturdy.
The laser printer at the heart of the 3200MFP confidently produces black text with rate, however limitations on paper handling in quantity are a pointer that this device is developed for a light task cycle. Its nimble scanner is fast and also exact, but if you have to check significant heaps of paper, you'll wish to look either at the 3200MFP/N, the networked version that could scan straight to network locations.

INFLATED MEMBER SIGN-IPS and PREMATURE ELECTIONEERING
Oldtown News
Vancouver, BC
INFLATED MEMBER SIGN-UPS and PREMATURE ELECTIONEERING
The new party on the Vancouver municipal scene, Vision, is touting its increase in new instant members as a reflection of voter dissatisfaction with Mayor Sam Sullivan and his NPA team.
No question Vision mayoral candidates should be congratulated on their prowess in signing up members to support their respective mayoral bids, however, whether this translates to electoral success where it really counts--at the polls--will be determined by voting citizens of the City on election day.
Leaving out for a moment that Vision has these new sign-ups and as much as municipal affairs reporter, Frances Bula of the Sun continually gushes on about these large number of new members, I believe Vancouver voters are an engaged group, much smarter and savvy than media portrays them and we tend to be responsible in our voting decisions.
A party's membership numbers does not reflect how Vancouver's citizens will vote. In fact in 2002, the NPA had 9,000 new members, the largest yet in modern municipal history, yet they were decimated at the polls by the voters who chose a civic party of the left to represent them. That party of course was COPE
Citizens will be factoring in a number of issues when they actually go to the polls on November 15, 2008. Past voting records of candidates, how the candidates and parties measure up against one another, does the candidate or their party reflect the voter's values and whether the candidate or party will bring a fair, balanced, accountable and responsible approach to their governance and decision making will be paramount on the minds of voters.
Other issues at play in the election campaigns which instant new members doesn't address are municipal matters which the wider electorate deem important.
Issues which will likely emerge as key campaign issues and really important to voters include housing affordability and lack of housing options for families, younger citizens and our vulnerable senior citizen population.
Safety and security is a major concern for voters, especially with the increased violence happening in the City and another primary concern for voters is the City's plan to densify. How this proposed density will affect citizens lives and the neighborhoods in which we live are questions which remain unanswered.
Public trust and leadership will be another important issues and voters if they tend to vote party slates will be asking themselves which slate best embodies, in their opinions, these important qualities.
Older established slates like the NPA and COPE will have an edge as they both have longstanding histories in the City, whereas the new Vision party doesn't have the same history. How this lack of history will impact the election will be determined by the voting citizens and not just party members.
Bulk membership sign-ups in parties do not reflect voter preferences and the public even though the media has been bombarding us with premature electioneering well in advance of potential candidates stepping forward in September, unfortunately, this presents a skewed view of the election. Fortunately for us, citizens will not be fooled into making premature choices until they are presented with an accurate reflection of the full compliment of candidates running and the stances these candidates take on campaign issues.
While focus has been on Mayoral hopefuls, Peter Ladner, Sam Sullivan, Raymond Louie, Gregor Robertson, Allan De Genova and their respective campaigns for party slate nominations, how this plays out won't be fully realized until September as the unsuccessful Mayoral nominees may be enticed by supporters and voters alike to continue with their Mayoral aspirations. Moreover, municipal slates like COPE and the Green party who have elected municipal experience have yet to decide on whether they may run Mayoral candidates.
So while the media are enjoying themselves and speculating endlessly on which party has the most members, providing citizens though with incomplete & partial lists of candidates is irresponsible. While the media can't be blamed entirely for their premature electioneering coverage, after all they need to sell news-copy, whether their idea of what constitutes as fair and balanced election news coverage at this time leaves a lot to be desired.
Until all candidates are in place and party slates present their election platforms, I encourage citizens to enjoy the summer, spend quality time with friends and families and enjoy the moments that the summer season brings.
Soon enough you will be bombarded with the various campaigns and actual election news which leave you ample time to make those wise decisions which are always best left in your hands.

Kit Delmare
Yes. Kit is Lorelie's younger brother. Remember her? Lorelie is the young Brizan Protector in Fire who was Controlled by the Helians. Kit's powers were only just beginning to develop when the Protectors were called to the summit. He's still a Protector-in-training, which will prove helpful for another Protector-in-training we all love.
Important because:
He and Lorelie look after the Arcans while they are in the Brizan Realm.
You will love him because:
He's struggling to get to grips with his powers and has a number of mishaps.
Beside Lorelie stood a tall boy, whose own sandy blond hair contained only a few streaks of electric blue.
As we stepped ashore, his eyes rested on me - or rather my hair - and I wrung my hands anxiously. On his face was a wide grin of excitement and awe.
``Welcome to the Brizan Realm." Rowan smiled warmly as he stepped forward to greet us. ``Euphrasia and Lorelie you already know, of course," he said, gesturing to the two girls, who smiled politely. ``But this is my newest recruit, Lorelie's brother, Kit." He indicated to the boy who had smiled when he saw me. He was still grinning now, his lively blue eyes glowing with excitement. Kit was a little shorter than Brae and built in the same, muscular way as most Brizans, with glowing, windswept cheeks. He wore dark trousers, high boots and a black shirt, which made him look more like one of the sailors from the ship than the Protectors he was standing beside, in their flowing blue clothing.
You can find out more about Kit and Tristan when Water is released next Saturday.

Twilight: The Movie
So we all have been waiting FOREVER for the Twilight movie to come out and that time has finally come! Some friends and I decided to go together on the opening day ( yes it was crazy) it really was a bunch of fun! All of us were screaming and had the funnest time. As for the movie....well in my opinion it was not that great. The chemistry between Bella and Edward was pretty non existant and a lot of other stuff about it was cheesy. I do have to say I cant wait for the next one because i think it will be a lot better! oh well it was a fun girls night anyways :)

I know it has been soooo long since I have posted anything...I have no excuses! I did want to put up a few pictures of our trip to California back in September. We went for a week to celebrate our Anniversary. We were able to go to Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, and Sea World. It was so nice to have a vacation and we really enjoyed ourselves!

text: Hi Björn, hey, your scripts look quite nicely, did you write them on a basis of some document or manual, or did you write them completely from scratch? You ask why I wonder? Because you setup masquerading seperately from firewalling and I've never seen this layout as a principle before, as well as the way you setup the masquerading of your uplink. There's plenty of documentation about Firewalling on the 'net, even the BLFS-project has some hint: http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/firewall.txt Björn Lindberg wrote: > Now I have finally set up my new firewall/router.

Does it log, for instance, onto another machine? As long as it is a real router, meaning no daemon does serve anything on it and nobody is using the box for any daily work, there should be no need to allow any traffic in INPUT on any but the local interface. For the ease of administration allowing ssh seem acceptable, if possible only on the internal interface. > > # drop everything else to this machine > $IPTABLES -A INPUT -j DROP > > > # FORWARD section > # allow packets belonging to already established connections > $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT > > # drop packets not belonging to a connection > $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state INVALID -j DROP > > # allow forwarding of packets from internal sources > $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTDEV -o $EXTDEV -j ACCEPT OK, not any problem in my eyes. > > # allow SSH connections > $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT > > # allow ping requests > $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit > 1/s -j ACCEPT Hmm, why do you allow ping and ssh explicitely? If you want to ssh some machine anywhere on the 'net this would already be allowed by the general-clauses you've written above. To state them explicitely makes only sense if you wanted to ssh your _internal_ machine or your router from somewhere on the internet, but IMHO this would be impossible with these two lines. If you wanted to ssh and ping your router from anywhere on the internet, you must place these rules into the INPUT-chain, and enable the corresponding traffic on OUTPUT. > > evaluate_retval > > # activate IP-forwarding > echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward > > # do reversed path validation > echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$EXTDEV/rp_filter > Why do you enable rp_filter only on the external interface? As long as you don't play with having external IP-adresses on the internal network it would not harm if you enabled reversed path validation on any interface. You may activate tcp_syncoocies, in the same directory as ip_forward, although they would not affect the security of any router because they were designed to prevent synflood-attacks against a server. Besides syncookies I'd like to recommend you to disable Explicit Congestion Notification in case you enabled it at kernel-compilation by error. IMHO there are still too many routers that block it because they are ignorant of this senseful feature. > > /etc/init.d/route: > ------------------ > #!/bin/sh > # iptables configuration for routing > > source /etc/init.d/functions > > IPTABLES=/usr/sbin/iptables > > EXTDEV=eth1 > INTDEV=eth0 > > # get IP-information from DHCP client > source /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-$EXTDEV.info > > echo -n "Setting up IP-tables for routing..." > > # flush nat table > $IPTABLES -t nat -F > > # give all packets coming from the internal LAN the router source > address > $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTDEV -j SNAT --to $IPADDR > > # route incoming packets to nex > $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXTDEV -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1 > > evaluate_retval > Am I correct if I assume that you setup masquerading with these two lines?

Andy Murray announced himself back from injury after recording his first win since returning from back surgery.
On his first game back since his September operation, Murray was beaten by Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Thursday at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship exhibition in Abu Dhabi.
But the very next day the Wimbledon champion and British number one was back on court and got the better of Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3 6-4.
Murray will now head to Qatar next week as he looks to ramp up his preparation for January's Australian Open and the 26-year-old insists he is in good shape.
"It's good to get two matches against top players," said Murray. "It's been a perfect start.
"I feel pretty good; a lot better than I did a few months ago. I just need to play more matches like this because the intensity's a lot higher than you can get in practice.
"It was good to get two matches against top players. Everyone needs matches at this stage, especially me. It's been a perfect start and hopefully I'll get better."

Springtime Cleansing & Legislation of Tourist attraction
While it's great to freshen your space, discovering the best ways to cleanse out restricting believed patterns and even ideas is even a lot more essential compared to washing the windows!
Ah, May! The days are getting longer and the buds on the trees are rupturing. Just what a terrific season to be wide awake as well as to life! Nurturing your body, mind as well as spirit has never ever been simpler as more and even more individuals locate their method on the Law of Tourist attraction course. So this year, with a little aid from LOA, you could wash even more than the webs from the corners of your home.
Let's chat regarding the hottest jargon of the decade, Legislation of Attraction. Simply specified, it implies, "like brings in like." There are numerous manner ins which's shared in our culture, such as 'birds of a plume group with each other' or 'anguish loves company.' What those expressions are connecting is that at the deepest degree, we produce our own fact based on our thoughts. It's not merely the ideas that shape our lives; it's exactly how we feel concerning exactly what we're taking into consideration. Or, as Abraham-Hicks states it, "just how you feel and what you get are constantly a suit.".
In the beginning, that may appear also challenging to even consider! As you begin to function with this old universal spiritual concept, you come to understand its equanimity and also even-handedness. That's when the enjoyable begins!
Does that suggest you have to monitor every idea you think? Naturally not! That would be difficult & hellip; and also not a great deal of fun. What is does indicate is that the much more you listen, the so much more you'll observe what topics set off adverse sensations and also exactly what topics activate favorable ones. That's where spring-cleaning comes in!
Allow's claim you want a relationship in your life. How does that believed make you really feel? Are you excited at the prospect? Or clinically depressed that it hasn't already occurred yet? Do you believe you'll fulfill the friend of your desires? Or do you believe "all the excellent ones are taken?".
What about money? Do you think you can have as high as you want? Or do you believe you'll always need more? Are you someone who feels rich, no issue just how much you have in the bank? Or do you feel inadequate, regardless of how a lot you have in the bank? What other damaging declarative declarations are you harboring in your wardrobe?
Spring-cleaning could bring you face to face with your long-held adverse ideas. A belief is only an idea we maintain believing. Occasionally, they are transparent ideas –-- we don't also recognize we're holding them up until we look closely and even see just how they're holding us back!
Below are some spring-cleaning ideas to aid you hop on track for all your greatest desires:.
1. Make a list of the most vital parts of your life. The list might consist of connections, work, money, residence, household, buddies.
2. Make a note of whatever comes into your mind about those subjects.

4. Create affirmative statements in today stressful regarding the subjects you have actually selected. For example, "I am living the life of my desires with my soulmate." Or, "I have a remarkable task that pays me even more cash than I need.".
In the exact same way you look at your closet at the beginning of the season, spend some time to go with your beliefs as well as transform the ones that do not serve you.

On the morning of March 19 I clicked on the "Morning Joe" show on MSNBC to see what was going on. I was surprised and pleased to hear Joe Scarborough, the show's host, say that drone warfare "is sold as clean warfare when it's actually just the opposite."
Scarborough has spoken skeptically before about drone killing, but the line of his March 19 commentary was the strongest I've heard. His remarks were prompted by his discussion with guest Andrew Cockburn, author of "Kill Chain, the Rise of High Tech Assassins", and they may mean that the sheen is wearing off drone killing for more and more people. See: http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/author--drones-not-as-good-as-we-think-they-are-415310915588
Drone war also took a hit from the April 13 New York Times article reporting that a study by the Open Society Justice Initiative found that "the Obama administration has not followed its own rules to avoid civilian casualties and is setting a dangerous example for other countries that want to use unmanned aircraft against terrorists." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/world/middleeast/legal-advocacy-group-says-us-drone-program-sets-dangerous-example.html?_r=0
It is extremely disappointing, however, that the Open Society recommendations do not call for an end to drone killing and all targeted killing. Rather the first recommendation is: "Ensure that U.S. targeted killings in Yemen comply with international law." http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/sites/default/files/death-drones-report-eng-20150413.pdf

Chancellor George Osborne today told delegates at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester that the government will step up investment in high performance computing (HPC).
"We will invest £145 million in High Performance Computing and the associated e-infrastructure," he said.
"This will make the UK a world leader in supercomputing. Improving computing infrastructure is vital to driving growth and giving businesses confidence to invest in the UK."
The news comes as the government said it was taking other steps to bolster the country's technology infrastructure, including making a £150 million investment to improve mobile phone coverage from 95 to 99 percent of the country.
Osborne said that the BAE Systems sites in Brough, Warton and Samlesbury, the most heavily hit by 3,000 job cuts announced by the company last week, will be turned into enterprise zones to develop new businesses and to maintain as much as possible of the technical expertise.
The government is also investing £50 million in graphene, in order to improve commercial opportunities for the UK-discovered material that could be used in touch screens and computer circuitry.
The headline financial measure for the taxpayer, however, was a freeze on council tax for a second year.

A Short Stop in Princeton University
On our way to VA, we stopped off in Princeton, NJ and got a chance to walk around the University for awhile. Actually it was incidental, I was sleeping as Jess drove for awhile. When I woke up we were in downtown Princeton, and we had to stop and take a look around.
Out of our country's earliest major universities (Harvard, Yale, and Princeton), Princeton was the last to go liberal. Men like Jonathan Edwards, Charles Hodge, B B Warfield, and Machen held off the tide of Enlightenment philosophy against Biblical authority for an extra few generations.
I have to say the architecture at Princeton was absolutely stunning! Far exceeding anything I've seen at Harvard (haven't been to Yale yet). Jess and I's first impression walking around campus was that there were two types of students there: rich privileged kids enjoying themselves and scholarship kids scared to death of failing!
Though I think it is probably too late to hope that Princeton Theological Seminary will ever return to Biblical authority, it was a beautiful reminder of the history this University has played not only in this country but in the Christian church of a past day and time.

Google Earth
This image is based on a secret two headed Phoenix,
An ancient symbol of the Melchizadek Priests.
One head traditionally drinking from The Chalice Well,
the other head following the direction of the flying wings,
into the sunset to be reborn by the waters each day..
I found a two headed Phoenix on a floor tile in Glastonbury Abbey,
perhaps the burning Phoenix represents
the completion of The Precession Wheel of the Ages.
House of Rueben
The effigy of a Phoenix appears around Glastonbury,
Somerset, UK
Aquarius the Water Pot
Here as Chalice Well
Why the Phoenix
A Firebird in an air sign
A southern constellation
Not a Zodiacal bird
What a consternation
A sign from the ancients
For the new age dawning
The Phoenix a message
Flies over this vale
With Pyramid and Labyrinth
A hallowed grail
The souls of great Kings
Befitting their birth
Continue the adventure
As giants in the earth
Through the stars and their light
Their souls in the circular temple
for eternity shine bright
Their stories we remember
To show us the way
The ways of the ancients
Astrology and Astronomy
An ancient GPS
The Moon is up
We ride at night
The path is bright
The legends in the stars
Alight the way
To the path of the heart
To the eye of the fish
I am a fish
I am a star
I am a constellation
I am your next destination
Your map on the ground
and up in the sky
Follow the stones
As the crow flies
From eye to eye..

The hour is here. And that hour. Is moodboard hour.
It does appear, however, that there's a little section before the moodboard where you need to do a little bit of consolidation, just so that you don't run riot with your scissors and glue, sticking down pictures of everything because you're just so excited.
But don't fret my friends, I'll only go over what I wrote for that bit very briefly!
I spent a very long time thinking about what the overall feel of my style was, and this is what I came up with:
Eclectic with a vintage twist, and shows creativity. At first glance my style will look haphazard, but upon closer inspection you'll be able to see that the colours are planned and thoughtfully put together.
After that I just went through what I thought were the key pieces, colours, silhouettes and whatnot for the style, to avoid the aforementioned cutting and sticking frenzy. I knew what it was that I needed to look out for, and then the moodboarding commenced.
I will say now, it was incredibly difficult to photograph the moodboard (how many times can I say moodboard? Moodboard.) so I do apologise if there are bits that are tricky for you to see, but I've tried to work all the angles so you can see everything!
I'm also very sorry about how dark the images are, but hopefully you'll be able to adjust the brightness on whatever device you're reading this on so that you can see it properly. The full moodboard:
The left side (all annotated so that you know why I've picked it):
The middle – I put these things in the middle because all of these images show the colours that I want for my style. The images on the sides of the page are more ones I've picked for their silhouettes or styling, but the centre is dedicated to colours!
The right side:
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my moodboard! I really, really enjoyed making it (I don't think mum enjoyed it so much; I had scraps of paper all over the lounge which had little bits of glue on and they stuck to your feet if you trod on them) and now it's in my room by my mirror so that I can look at it and feel inspired. Even if you're not following along with the rest of my Curated Closet series, I think that making a moodboard full of things that you love is a really good idea – like I said, it's super inspiring, and you can use it to keep in mind what you want to include in your wardrobe more!
I'll speak to you again very soon – make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel, because on Saturday I'll be posting a video on how to make a sewing machine cover – and then after that there might be a giveaway announcement…
