Hype or Like Friday is a meme co-created by Jill @ Rantandraveaboutbooks, Britt @ Geronimo Reads and Larkin @ Wonderfilled Reads. Join their Goodreads group here to participate! Each month they choose a hyped up book to read and discuss on the last Friday of the month. The first three Fridays are dedicated to related discussion questions. This month we are reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.
Today's topic is: Books That Made Me Want To Read- Think about what books you read while you were in school that made you want to read. Maybe you were an English Lit major in college because you fell in love with Shakespeare or Jane Austen.
I am really excited for this topic! I'm going to break up my posts into two lists: books that I read in school and books of my choice that influenced my reading experience in middle school and high school.
In terms of books that I loved growing up, there's a lot. I practically cleaned out my library in school. However, there's a few that come to mind that I have very fond memories of and I would love to re-read again.
The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling: I know, I know. Everyone includes Harry Potter in their posts, but how can I leave it out? This series had such a huge influence on my childhood and still has an influence in my adult life. This series is absolutely why I started to love reading. I read the first four right away and then went to every midnight book party for the next release. I savored every minute with these books, even teaching myself some reading self-control (it was really hard to put these books down).
Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan: If you haven't read Percy Jackson, you really should at some point. Yes, its technically a middle-grade series but it is fantastic. I loved the influence of Greek mythology and Riordan is one hell of a storyteller. When I think of my favorite series growing up, this is one of the first that comes to mind.
The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini: Eragon was my first BIG book that I read (other than Harry Potter). At about 600 pages, it definitely intimidated me as a 7th grader. However, this series is one of the reasons I love fantasy so much. It introduced me to the world of magic, dragons and Fae. I loved it. All I wanted was to be a dragon rider and have a dragon like Saphira.
The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins: What?! Suzanne Collins has another series? Yes, she does and its amazing. I read this series long before The Hunger Games and I absolutely loved it. I think this is a very underrated series and I don't understand why it doesn't get more attention. This series has some great characters including Gregor, Luxa and Ares the bat (Loved him ♥). Again, a middle-grade series but one I have extremely fond memories of.
As for what I read in school, there are a few books that have really stayed with me over the years. I know there's more, but here a few that come to mind that are some of my favorite classics. I was actually a science major in college, but thinking back to my classes made me realize that I had to take some English classes as well to keep me happy 🙂
The Odyssey by Homer: I took a Greek mythology class in college and we read all kind of plays and stories but I loved The Odyssey because it was just so epic. It was not necessarily easy to get through and I am grateful for the guided discussions in school, but I am so happy to have read it.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: I read Frankenstein first in high school and then again in college in a comparative literature class titled "Monsters in Literature." This class was awesome. We read Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde, Gilgamesh, and even some graphic novels. For those of you that have read Frankenstein, you know its not all about the grotesque green, sewed up monster running around. In fact, Frankenstein is a beautifully written, dark book that touches on important themes such as knowledge, monstrosity and life itself.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte: I love love love this book. It is so beautiful and passionate, yet extremely dark and twisted at the same time. The book is so multi-layered with a few different, sometimes unreliable narrators. And you have to love Heathcliff and Catherine.
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same"
Chapter 9, Wuthering Heights
Hamlet by Shakespeare: I'm a huge Shakespeare fan. I took a Shakespeare class in college and all we did was read plays and talk about them. It was great. I've read a good amount of his plays but Hamlet is still my favorite. Its a classic and everyone should read it at least once.
That's it for me! I'm sure there are plenty of other books that made me love reading but these are some of my favorites. Have you read any of these? What books made you love reading?


text: Tubb 106 Posted April 8 Yes, where are they? A couple of weeks ago we all had our rebel tauntaun and the rebel veterans, thinking that next week there would be good news for imperial players... then clone wars erupted... and since then nobody is talking about my beloved, still lacking corps options for my imperial army... where are my dewbacks? where are my next imperial corps? It doesn't matter if they are navy troopers, or army troopers or mudtroopers... whatever... but before clone wars makes us go mad, please, complete my imperial army! 1 Thundershield reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had this in mind as a programming project for a while, but I don't mind someone else getting there first.For example here's John 3:16 you can see as a tooltip.(For Jonathan's reference: it didn't seem to work as dynamic creation, but static creation picked it up OK.)

Tonight we had a busy meeting. We started by giving everyone their jobs for the summer such as the Food Manager, Equipment Manager, Map Manager, etc. These jobs give the girls responsibilities that start tonight and end when we return our gear upon coming home.
After that, we went outside and covered how to properly flip a canoe on our shoulders to portage. Everyone was able to get the canoe on their shoulders by the end of the meeting, so we just need to perfect our techniques and get comfortable under a canoe.
Finally, we closed the meeting going through the different food choices that we will have on trail and submitting our food order. The girls were all open to trying new foods, so we are bringing a wide variety of everything! We are all excited to see what different combos we can try for our meals. We are going to fill our food orders and bag everything up in one meal portions during Food Packing Day on June 5.
The excitement is building for our trip as we start to learn new skills!

New Year Observing Sessions0
The new year has lead to a few potential nights of observing. The main problem over the last few weeks has been the cold and also the snow. So far in January there have been about 4 nights when the sky would have been good enough for observing. However the weather cooperating is only half of the picture.
Another issue now is the lack of locations for observing. due to the track for snowmobiles at the tiny marsh site there is no way of entering the car park safely without bottoming the car on the ice. The last time we tried to get in there the car-park was in accessible. We're trying to find another location but if that fails it looks like there will be minimal observing for the next couple of months.
Last observing session of 20100
The night seemed like it would be a great session, the day started really well with little / no cloud and the evening drew in like that also. The evenign meant packing up the car and setting off to Tiny Marsh for a session observing. However the sky milked over and the seeing was very bad. To cxap it all after a wonder clear day, I beached the car in a snow bank and ended up having to dig myself out of the snow ….
Had a little difficulty remembering how to use the telescope as this was the first time it had been out for a while. But did enjoy the following object M1, M35, M36, M37, M38, M42, M45 and Jupiter.
So this was a night of fun with a lot of things going on.

this is a branch off of this thread here, where apparently WPMU's facebook plugin was at war with the membership plugin, with the subscription and other short codes not displaying. https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/short-codes-not-working-in-membership
There may or may not be an issue with short codes for members who have the right level of access... can't view the post without being redirected to the protected content page.
To recap, I have been setting the access for strangers to different access levels in order to test whether or not the permission system works. I was just asked if a registered member (rather than a 'stranger') with those access permissions had the same problem. The answer is yes. I added an existing member to both a subscription and a membership level and experienced the same behavior.
What I really don't get is that one of the membership levels essentially works, excluding access to the comments and 'more' area, just as it is supposed to. These other membership levels give access to those sections, and yet get treated as though they have no permissions at all.
There you go, Tim and David. A new thread. :slight_smile:

Economic financial crimes commission (EFCC) has been on the former Minister of aviation's wife, Precious Chikwendu's neck since the inception of her husband's trial with them over mismanagement of public funds. The allegations against her is that, she has multiple bank account with GTB bank. However, her special adviser has come out to defend her by giving a statement concerning the allegations.
Read the statement below...
She has one current account with a merged savings account in GTB which was opened in 2012. Outside of that she has a dollar account and a pounds sterling account with the same bank which were all opened on the same day in 2012. None of these accounts have any connection whatsoever with public funds or with Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and neither was any GTB BVN linked to his. Again on this issue the EFCC lied.
Neither is it true that the EFCC were not at the bank in Ado Ekiti to arrest her because three of their operatives were actually there manning the bank door with their identity cards pinned to their jackets. They were backed by five fully armed policemen in uniform. They made it clear to Precious Chikwendu that they had been ordered to bring her to Abuja by road that same evening and that if she could not leave her son in the bank with the manager he would have to come for the ride too.
Had it not been for the intervention of Governor Fayose that is exactly what would have happened and only God knows what they would have been subjected to on the way"-
Chineye Okechukwu, Special Assistant to Precious Chikwendu.

Because of the number of impurities found in tap water today, it can be hard to choose the perfect faucet water filter for your home.
Before, filters were all the same. Now, thanks to technological advancements and increased competition, they come packed with features and remove impurities that we never even knew existed.
Because of this, it has become more important than ever to choose the correct faucet water filter, according to your water quality and your household needs.
You need to be able to install it easily and replace filters when necessary, while being able to enjoy clear, crisp, and tasty water that is free of bacteria and harmful chemicals.
Once you've done the adequate tests on your home's water and have decided what you want to gain from your faucet water filter, it's time to compare the various models on the market.
With that in mind, we bring to your attention the Culligan FM-25 Faucet Mount Filter with Advanced Water Filtration. This unit is not only cheap, but very user friendly, and will ensure you are drinking and cooking with healthy water all year round.
The Culligan faucet filter is one of the best options available for both commercial and residential environments.
It is a durable and easy to use filter option thanks to its dynamic design and materials, which prove to be sturdy even when compared to more expensive filters. Besides durability, the FM-25 is also extremely user-friendly because it features a simple filter and cartridge system.
This Culligan faucet filter offers a great alternative that removes both bad odors and tastes alike. This includes aesthetic chlorine tastes and foul odors, regardless of how mild or strong they may be.
This is achieved through its Level 3 - Advanced Filtration system that significantly reduces the amount of sediments, particulate class I, lead, turbidity, bacterial cysts, atrazine; as well as other toxins and dangerous chemical by-products.
You'll notice right away that this water filter offers a compact and visually appealing design that will fit any decor style. The best part is that it does not sacrifice functionality, so you can rest assured your drinking and cooking water will be clean and sediment-free.
In addition to the above, the FM-25 is extremely easy to install and use. It does not require any additional tools and can fit on most faucets, including older styles and models.
The filter has a relatively long lifespan as it can be used to filter up to 200 gallons of water, which is equal to roughly 2 months. Also, the customer support offered by Culligan is second to none, so you can expect any malfunctions to be addressed quickly and efficiently.
Finally, this faucet filter features an all-metal build for all components including mount, washers, and fittings. This is important because most other filters feature plastic parts, which may release pollutants in the water and reduce its quality even after filtration.
Based on a few positive reviews found online, many users said that the FM-25 can be easily attached to most faucets. Installation takes just a few minutes, and it's ideal for both modern and older faucet models that are made from unconventional materials.
One of the unique benefits the Culligan filter offers is the auto-off option, which also happened to be a crowd favorite. This option prevents water wastage as it automatically turns off the water filter once you turn off your faucet.
Turning the filter back on is just as simple as it only requires you to pull a small lever on the side. The polished chrome finish on the FM-25 was also praised by online reviewers because it prevented any corrosion, which was a major problem with other popular faucet filters.
All fancy features aside, people who purchased this Culligan filter praised it for the mere fact that it worked to perfection. When comparing filtered and unfiltered water, almost every single user saw a positive difference in both taste, odor, and even the color of the water.
The FM-25 faucet mount filter only features metal components, which is also a major plus. Besides the fact that plastic may release dangerous contaminants, this also means the FM-25 offers a durable design that will withstand the test of time.
Lastly, the FM-25 is certified by the NSF for lead removal, reducing the amount of dangerous lead residue in your drinking and cooking water.
Although the FM-25 boasts of all metal components, some users experienced cracking and leaking on the filter's housing after just a few months of usage. This, however, was covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
Some online reviewers also highlighted the fact that certain faucets were not compatible with the Culligan faucet filter, which resulted in major leaking.
Other users reported a change in temperature when running cold water through the filter, which turned room temperature. Although most reports suggest that it works to perfection, some users also reported bad tasting water.
Finally, some customers complained about the fact that the FM-25 has a slow flow rate, in other words, it filters water slowly.
The best place to purchase your FM-25 faucet filter is Amazon because it offers the lowest price starting at just over $21.
In addition to this, if you purchase the extended 2 year protection, which cost about $5, you can get this item shipped directly to your doorstep for free!
The Culligan FM-25 Mount Filter offers a great alternative for active families and busy business environments. With a sturdy build, compact design, and relatively low price tag, you can rest assured it will make a great addition to any house or office.
Although there are some negative reports online, Culligan is known for having extremely good customer service, and since 70% of all reviews give it a 4.1 or 5 star rating, the FM-25 definitely gets our stamp of approval!

We almost become a writer, a doctor, a great many things,
Ice skater,
We tried to reach our dreams
And didn't.
We let the dreams die.
Now the days pass:
Family, work, hustle–
They seem to outlast
What if they are meant to fuel them,
Not be hindrances?
What if life is not a race & a success, getting to some penultimate
Career goal?
We won't have to sit in our Lazyboys at the ripe old age of 80
And say, "I almost…."
Because we are made for absolutes:
"I loved."
Almosts don't define us. Tweet This
We all have a bag of broken dreams
We may never sort through.
The best work is
I loved.
I tried.
I gave it my all.
For Jesus.
He is not an almost.
He was, and is,
And this is all we need to really make it.
What if your almost is the door to what's next?
This is Day 31 of 31 Days of Poetry. That's it! Hurrah! What a month of writing it has been. I feel more disciplined and free to let my words be—which were both huge goals of mine. If you're a writer, would you consider joining us next month for Five Minute Fridays? They're a weekly way to write on one word for 5 minutes. It really keeps the creative juices flowing! Thank you for reading along.

Make America Mindful Again
What makes America great?
That's a question I'm truly interested in hearing millions of answers to. One answer I would give is the infusion of values that was born out of being a country made up of many cultures. America is great because of the ethnic and cultural eccentricity that was created by seekers of opportunity. With that, what we're experiencing now seems somewhat paradoxical. It's even harder for me to conceptualize how this beautiful diverse culture we belong to co-created a counter so insidious that it seems to have the power to destroy democracy as we know it. Why would we do that? I've asked myself that a thousand times. The conclusion I keep coming back to is intellectualism is not well nurtured in our country, and our boundless hearts are closing faster than our borders. While we will talk politics I want to stress this "closing of the American heart" is the biggest threat to our national good.
On national good
Until we begin to open up again, we're not allowed to preach to other nations with genuine moral authority. I don't believe we have that. As I've taken inventory and done work on myself, I don't know if we ever did. I do know however, that there is an opportunity none of us could've ever dreamed of, inspired life waiting to be lived here just as soon as we open up and move away from the thought that other people are the problem.
Before we talk about our own fears and how to work through them, the first step in the healing of this nation is forgiveness. We have some pretty profound apologies to make. Apologies I believe will make clear that there is nothing new in this upcoming cycle, it's just putting issues back on the surface that we still haven't truly dealt with.
We need to acknowledge to Native Americans that the expansion of this country came at the cost of their culture. We need to apologize in realization that our country and each life in it would be truly enriched by having a greater presence of Native American wisdom weaved into our self-governing and policy making procedures.
We need to acknowledge that Black Lives do Matter, and the morally outrageous evil that we committed in enslaving their ancestors created a systematic inequality in our society whose cruelty can still be seen and felt today. We need to apologize in realization sometimes there are truths so big it's hard for the offenders to swallow and make amends.
We need to acknowledge to women our missteps in mistreating the source of our life. It's ironic a country who symbolizes liberty and freedom with a statue of a lady carrying a torch denied women the right to use their voice, and is still actively enacting laws that take away their freedom of choice and sense of personal power. We need to apologize in realization women are creators and without them we'd know nothing of this life.
What matters more than how we've lived with such disrespect for life, is that we immediately commit to healing. These apologies establish moral order through realigning with the truth of how we got here and validate the values we claim to have. Admitting we've been wrong all along would be the greatest sign of strength we could ever show this world.
On our values
What we value is another big piece of this political puzzle coming together as it has. The truth is, whether subconsciously or through conscious action we've chosen this outcome through what we've digested, what we've accepted and what we've neglected since the beginning of civilization. And it's for our highest good. We needed to see this side of ourselves. We think of success in terms of how much we amass, what we achieve in a material and monetary sense. With that alone, it's only natural we would elect a man who so perfectly personifies our ego's vision of what richness is.
We've been sold the idea that we need things. We're being sold things that make us believe we need more things. We keep up our "look at my skin shine, look at my skin glow" projections without realizing that make-up masks the truth of who we really are. There aren't many people out there selling you the idea that you already have it all. We're not provided with much support to come into the belief that we were given everything we need at birth. Capitalism has created a hard-boiled culture that hoards our hearts and blinds us from seeing our true nature and the values beyond the veil. As long as we continue this course, we'll always feel like there's a hole to fill. It doesn't energetically serve us or our higher purpose. It creates a lifestyle where joy is our goal instead of the foundation in which we do all things from. We chose that. We vote for it every single day in our actions and our purchasing patterns.
Money is an energy. When we think of it in that way, compassion should be our currency. In more material terms, our money trail should always lead back to a place that's in true alignment with our values. Think about what you value. Close your eyes and think. Try to find a place within you where faith costs money. Ask yourself, in all your life, how much have you paid for love? If we gauged success by what we achieve of ourselves, how would that affect the way you live your life?
Not understanding our values is ultimately what leads to leadership crisis. We didn't get here because there isn't anyone out there who so perfectly embodies the qualities of true humanity. It's because we've invalidated those qualities by placing larger importance on our individual gains. We throw money at our problems and the corporations and banks that profit from our retail therapies finance the politics that keep us shackled in a bottom up society. Our consumer behavior breeds a unique landscape of socio-economic judgement, wherein we can't see greatness in people that aren't wearing a suit.
In order to create fertile ground for great leaders to stand we have to see and support greatness in everyone. Jesus was told he was the son of God from birth. The Dalai Lama grows up with the constant reinforcement he is the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Regardless what you believe about the factuality of both their births, look at what greatness can come out the stories we tell ourselves and our children.
Making America Mindful
I define mindfulness simply as "paying attention." The good news is, by that definition, we recently became a much more mindful country. I've never seen so many people actively participating in, and debating the politics and policies that protect our rights and play into our quality of life from an environmental, economic and social standpoint. The past 18 or so months has shown us so much about ourselves, each other and the culture we've co-created.
Now we're off into the unknown and it can be scary place to go, but as you've read, I assure you nothing is new here. We just became more aware of the way things have always been. It's out in the open now. It doesn't feel good to see how we behave and the bruteness we've bred, but that awareness is key to invoking real change within and without. I've spoken with many people who I can see fear and sadness in their faces. There are too many factors playing into that fear to name. Please know your feelings are valid, and I personally will use my privilege to fight for yours until the day I lose mine. Let's realize though, every now and then our character needs to be challenged for us to feel and know its true strength. Now is the time to recommit to our convictions and put our fear behind us so it can move us forward.
Tomorrow and every day for the rest of our lives, we awake to a tremendous opportunity. Yogi Bhajan taught me that our days are simply that: Several meetings with opportunity that we take or leave. Let's take this one. If we created a culture in which ego and personality can rule, imagine what we can do with these new awarenesses and the strength of love and compassion leading our collective consciousness. Don't be shook. Stand taller than ever. Yogi Bhajan also says that if someone can shake you and someone can crack you, you haven't yet found yourself. So, let's find ourselves.
Let's show up for each other. Stop the infantile game of passing blame and pointing fingers. Drop the tendency to think your way is right. You know how good it feels to speak your truth, let someone speak theirs. Listen to it. Notice how it inspires emboldening of your expressions of truth. Notice if you're guarded or open to receiving it, and I mean truly compassionately understanding it. Again, the greatest threat to our freedom is a closing heart. Our future relies on our commitment to it, and that commitment must include our capacity to love each other.
May our resistance be known by our persistence. May we smile in the face of the oppressors, so they have no doubt we have more to gain with their agenda than they ever could.
"May we wake up with our soul, and sleep with our achievement." -Yogi Bhajan

Fear Of Men - 'Green Sea'
Promising stuff
The Brighton quartet's return after an extended stint in the studio is a welcome one. 'Green Sea' veers into subsonic levels of DIY kookiness, starting out as an acoustic paean to The Kinks before turning wholly more Cocteau-esque in time for the chorus. Promising stuff.

Come Book
Come Book
n this book you will:
- Discover The Secret Place where God is.
- Learn how to talk to God.
- Know when God is speaking.
- Discover 9 rewards of spending time with God.
- Find true love, purpose, and fulfillment.
Are you tired of feeling unloved, unaccepted, and misunderstood? God is drawing you closer to Him. Will you COME?
Living in this technological age has made communicating with friends and family easier and faster than ever before. But have you stopped to consider how much time you spend on social media or texting, or talking to your friends via Skype or Face Time? Are you getting closer to God or further away? You may not realize it, but God wants you to talk to Him too. You may have forgotten about God, but He hasn't forgotten about you. Even now God's arms are opened wide, and He is calling you to come to Him. No matter where you are or what you have done, God still loves you and accepts you just the way you are.
In Come, Kathy R. Green takes you on a journey to discover a deeper relationship with God that goes beyond surface Christianity. She gives examples of those who learned to talk to God and know His voice in their youth; and Kathy speaks candidly about her life experience; After giving her heart to the Lord at the age of ten, she was immediately drawn to a quiet place that only she and God knew about, and there she learned to talk to Him about everything – from asking God who she would marry when she grew up, to telling Him about the bullies who harassed her on a daily basis. At one point Kathy was tempted to commit suicide, but God stepped in.

Product Description
Introducing the most comprehensive single-pump fuel system for 350z and G35, the CJM S2.
By eliminating every restriction point of the factory fuel system and feeding the rails parallel, fuel pressure drop at high flow rates is minimal if not eliminated. Without pressure drop as a concern, you can confidently maximum the output of your fuel pump and provide balanced pressure behind each injector.
A significant feature of the S2 system is the large stainless feed pipe replacing the factory 5/16 pipe. Our pipe is 1/2" diameter with -8an end-fittings. It clips into the factory fuel pipe support hangers with just minor modification to the clips.
This system re-routes the fuel lines away from sources of high heat; the exhaust manifolds and turbochargers on the TT vehicles. The fuel lines cross over to the transmission and travel up the rear of the engine directly into the rails.
This system utilizes a "return correction", which is a vital modification kit for the fuel pump assembly which allows you to convert to a RFS but still retain the factory venturi siphons. These siphons are required in order to use the entire volume of fuel in the tank and allow the swirl can to function properly.
The components in this system are large enough to support later addition of our twin fuel pump assembly.
Compatibility and Fitment Information: Installed to your original rail spacers, these rails interface with the fuel injectors at the same height as the original fuel rails. Our included short spacers are recommended when installing with popular 48mm aftermarket injectors. These rails accept 14mm o-rings.

Billet Machined and Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum

TapOnIt is a mobile marketing company that specializes in building consumer opt-in databases, for which we sell access to advertisers. We send images of great offers from local businesses to our users via text. The company has a proprietary text message platform that allows us to send multiple image text messages (MMS) faster and less expensively than competitors. Since 91% of Americans have their phones within arm's reach 24/7 and 98% of texts are opened, a mobile platform based on MMS text is the ideal way to help businesses reach people directly. The company launched its first database market in April of 2015 and generated over $100,000 in the following nine months. Since then the company has grown to over 55,000 opt-in users across five markets and in its second full year of operations had sales of nearly $400,000.

After China, the next country that is going to offer 3G services is Russia - another giant country with a huge market for 3G. Read the news below from Yahoo!News.
MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia will this year begin offering licenses for third generation (3G) mobile telephones, Telecommunications Minister Leonid Reiman said.
The traditional market for mobile phones was approaching saturation in Russia, meaning that the time had come to begin granting 3G licenses, he said in remarks carried by the Novosti news agency Monday.
On January 1 "there were around 120 million mobile phone subscribers in Russia and it is obvious that with a population of 150 million we must soon reach saturation level," Reiman said.Third generation mobile phone technology allows operators to offer such services as music, TV, video and Internet access to customers with compatible handsets.

The contrasts of life, nothing short of amazing.

Adobe Bridge CS3 Geotagger
The Bridge Geotagger script allows you to inspect, set and/or edit GPS data embedded in photos using a Google Maps interface. It uses the embedded Opera HTML engine in Bridge to display Google Maps, and the XMP framework to manipulate metadata.
Download Bridge Geotagger 0.1 (~59 Kb)
The Bridge Geotagger comes without warranty.
- Start Bridge, and open it's preferences.
- Under 'Startup Scripts', click 'Reveal'.
- Drop the 'Bridge Geotagger' folder into the Explorer/Finder window that opened
- Visit the following URL:
- Press 'Edit locations...' and choose 'Add location'
- Browse to the 'Bridge Geotagger' folder in the Bridge 'Startup Scripts' folder, and confirm this folder.
- Close the browser, close Bridge, and restart Bridge.
Using the Bridge Geotagger
To display the Bridge Geotagger tab, choose Window -> Geotagging Panel.
If you select a geotagged file in Bridge, the Geotagging Panel will pan and zoom to its location on the map. You can drag the geotag marker to change it's location. To create a marker, double click the map at the desired location.Double click on the marker to remove it. Use the goggles icon in the toolbar to find a location by geocoding.
After manipulating a marker, changes can be applied to the selected files in Bridge using the Apply button in the top right corner of the panel.
The map can be zoomed in/out using the + and - buttons in the toolbar. Navigating the map does not change the geotagging of the selected files.
The maptype can be changed using the globe icon in the toolbar.
Known issues
NOTE: due to several issues listed below, the Bridge Geotagger script should be regarded more as a prove of concept than a production tool.
Do not use the Bridge Geotagger for mission critical files, or on for irreplacable (meta)data.
- Using the 'satelite' or 'hybrid' views extensively will result in a temporary IP Ban from Google Maps!
Google does not like its API used locally, because there is no domain name to check against.*
- The Bridge Geotagger script uses two small Flash movies to communicate from the Google Maps interface to Bridge. These need to be 'trusted'. See the installation steps for instructions. The source of these SWF files is provided for you inspection.*
- Changes to GPS data may not be saved to JPG and/or TIF files when they are set to open in Adobe Camera Raw.
In the Bridge preferences, under 'Thumbnails', please make sure the 'Prefer Adive Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF files' option is unchecked.
*: These issues may be lifted if the Bridge Geotagger script moves away from Google Maps and start using Yahoo Maps Flash API. However, the satelite image coverage outside the US offered by Yahoo is abysmal.

It includes training of dance, learning with mudra and combination of differents steps, study of one more elaborated choregraphy.
Experience of singing, dance and sing.
Adriana Dal BorgoFor more than twenty years I have been teaching contemplative dance and methods of awareness in movement, harmonization of energy, and the practice of presence through sound and dance, giving courses for those who wish to follow this path of knowledge.
Born in Venice, Italy, I graduated in psychology, with specialization in psychotherapy. In 1986 I met the Dzogchen (Atiyoga) teaching of the Master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, from whom I learned the Vajra Dance – a method for integrating meditation and movement – and later on the Khaita Joyful Dances.
In 1992 I was appointed by my Master to teach the Vajra Dance. In 1995 together with Prima Mai I was authorized to coordinate the activities related to this discipline in the different centers of the International Dzogchen Community and to train new instructors, thus becoming one of the two main Vajra Dance teachers. From that time, I've held many courses and trained new teachers around the world, helping students to discover the joy and profoundness of the Dance.
Dancer and choreographer, from 2011 I have been also charged with coordinating the Khaita Joyful Dances and training new teachers in this field of study. Read More

To celebrate taking possession of our new home this evening, we moved the following items to Fry Lodge Belllingham II: one Weber grill, one firepit, one turntable, a few dozen records, four Adirondack chairs, and our bathrobes. After enjoying a tasty meal, we cranked up the sauna and steamed up the place. Can't wait to move in permanently.

A Credit Card Is A Small Business' Best Friend
A small business loan is the sum borrowed from a bank or financial institution by an individual or small business to begin, expand, or run a small business. Procuring a small business loan may be difficult because the banks are often unwilling to lend money to small establishments because of lack of mortgage. The banks do not want to give loans particularly to startups because they have more chances of failure according to their pre-set notions and a few bad debts. Giving loans to small businesses is riskier than lending to established companies and mortgage lending for banks.
In addition, the underwriting costs for verifying, processing, and evaluating a small loan is almost same like those of larger loans. Therefore, banks are more willing to enhance their profits by lending larger loans. Moreover, since the loans for small businesses are often rejected, they have to pay more interest rate than the big businesses. Small business loans may begin from as low as 1,000 INR and go up to several thousands of rupees depending on the size and scale of your business.
What is a small business loan on your credit card?
Firstly, you must know what a loan on your credit card is. This is similar to the personal loan, the only difference is that it is pre- approved. Moreover, you do not have to submit any documents for the loan on your credit card.
Although you can take separate loan from the bank, it may take a few days and you have to submit all the relevant documents to the bank or lender. However, with small business loan on credit card, you do not need to go through any documentation and verification, which makes it the fastest source of unsecured loan.
Loan on a credit card is frequently mistaken for withdrawal of cash on credit cards. They are different from each other in terms of interest rate. The rate of interest for credit card loan is equal to if higher than the personal loan. On the other hand, the interest on withdrawal of cash is much higher than the credit card loan and there is significant limit on withdrawal of cash compared to the eligible amount of loan.
Tips to get a small business loan on your credit card
- Take a loan when it is urgent
Since you have to pay high rate of interest on the credit card loan, you must take it only when it is urgent and your small business loan is not approved by other financial institutions. Use the amount of loan judiciously in your business and pay back the installments in time.
- Transfer of balance
Some banks provide loan against the credit cards of other banks by means of Balance Transfer on the EMIs. This means that you have to transfer your outstanding balance on your remaining credit cards to just one card as well as pay the EMIs.
- Using the credit limit
You can also ask your bank to provide you loan over or within your credit limit. Depending on your credit rating, you will be given the small business loan on your credit card
Eligibility for small business loan on credit card
Since this kind of loan is unsecured and is provided without any collateral, it is offered to a few selected credit card holders. The credit card issuers are very particular about the credit history, good repayment and purchase pattern, etc. So you must fulfill their criteria to procure a small business loan on your credit card.
The bottom line is, if you are a growing business, it's important to explore all avenues for keeping your cash flowing, and in many cases you can score a business win with a smartly taken credit card loan. Especially if the card allows you to earn rewards along the way!

Conflict is Awesome
Ever have one of those conflict weeks? Where it's time to have some conversations, ready or not? Here they come?
Me neither.
Raise your hand if you think conflict is awesome? Right. Thanks, all three of you. So, let's be learners, shall we? Here's a great conflict rule I was recently reading about: SET.
Jerold Kreisman, M.D. put together the simple SET formula: Support, Empathy, Truth.
Support: Start with letting the person know you care about them and desire to be there for them. Saying: "I care about you and our friendship" can mean a lot. This let's them know you value this relationship above the conflict.
Empathy: Express to them that you want to understand their feelings and what they might be going through. We might not be able to exactly relate, but we can take time to get into their shoes. See life from their lens. This takes listening. Maybe a lot of it.
Truth: After you have shared support and empathy - you can share the reality with them or concern. Sharing what has made the conflict happen to begin with.
What I like about SET is it turns me away from my self-focus and toward my friend, spouse or co-worker. It says: I want to hear you and understand you. You are valuable. Things aren't black and white. I want to listen to ALL the gray.
SET has been helpful with my children, too.
What I WANT to do is just dish out truth, because - let's be real - handing out truth is easier and more efficient than Supporting and Empathizing about a lost, tiny, impossibly small Polly-pocket yellow high heal. That thing is half of my pinky finger nail. I just may have vacuumed it up accidentally. And the truth about that may not be what she needs right then.
What she needs is a hug. And her mom to say, "Losing a shoe is sad. Been there, girlfriend. Cinderella knows all about your pain."
SET makes me slow down and listen. It makes me stop, stoop down, see her world from her little view. I watch people who are effortlessly empathetic and I admire that. It's a very real, constant practice in my life.
Daily. Every. Single. Day.
The last thought on conflict that has helped me lately (in all kinds of relationships) has been from Brene Brown. She crushes it on the matter of feedback, conflict and vulnerability:
Ready, SET, Happy conflicting. May this be just what you need in your next awesome conflict.

Sunday 9 September was a red letter day for Hong Kong. Citizens voted in the Legislative Council elections.
A total of 1.83 million people participated in the LegCo Election yesterday, representing a turnout rate of 53% as compared to 45.2% in 2008. Voters were seen queuing up outside some polling stations particularly after dinner time. When voting closed at 10:30pm, several hundred voters were still lining up to cast their ballots at a polling station in Ocean Shores in Tseung Kwan O.
Assistant professor in politics and administration from the CUHK Choy Chi-keung believed the enthusiasm was caused by the latest row over national education or possibly discontent with CY Leung's government. Choy added that the high turnout rate might not necessarily benefit democrats because the division within both the pan-democratic and pro-establishment camps made it difficult to predict results under the proportional representation voting system.
While voting is still underway, initial results point to a large loss by the Democratic Party. Chairman Albert Ho announced his resignation this morning, in what some say was a response to a pointed request. Before voting began on Saturday he made this impassioned plea:
"According to the polls, my popularity rating has dropped significantly, so I am in a very dangerous situation now : Please stabilise your support for me, otherwise I may lose." Albert Ho on 8 September 2012
The people of Hong Kong listened, then voted. Albert Ho is the first significant loser in the Legislative Council elections of 2012.

Is a Classless Society Really Possible?
JOHN ADAMS, who became the second president of the United States, was one of the signers of the historic Declaration of Independence, which included these noble words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." Still, John Adams evidently had his doubts that people are really equal, for he wrote: "Inequality of Mind and Body are so established by God Almighty in his Constitution of Human Nature that no art or policy can ever plane them down to a level." In contrast, British historian H. G. Wells was able to imagine an egalitarian society based on three things: a common but pure and undefiled world religion, universal education, and no armed forces.
So far, history has not produced the egalitarian society envisioned by Wells. Humans are far from equal, and class distinctions are still a predominant feature of society. Have such classes brought any benefits to society as a whole? No. Social class systems divide people, resulting in envy, hatred, heartache, and much bloodshed. The one-time white-supremacy mentality in Africa, Australia, and North America brought misery to nonwhites—including the total genocide of the Aborigines in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania). In Europe, classifying the Jews as inferior was a prelude to the Holocaust. The great wealth of the aristocracy and the dissatisfaction among the lower and middle classes were factors that led to the French Revolution of the 18th century and to the Bolshevik Revolution in 20th-century Russia.
A wise man of the past wrote: "Man has dominated man to his injury." (Ecclesiastes 8:9) His words are true whether those dominating are individuals or classes. When one group of people elevates itself over another, misery and suffering inevitably result.
Before God All Are Equal
Are some groups of humans inherently superior to other groups? Not in God's eyes. The Bible says: "[God] made out of one man every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth." (Acts 17:26) Moreover, the Creator "has not shown partiality to princes and has not given more consideration to the noble one than to the lowly one, for all of them are the work of his hands." (Job 34:19) All humans are related, and before God all are born equal.
Remember, too, that when a person dies, all pretensions that he is superior to others vanish. The ancient Egyptians did not believe that. When a Pharaoh died, they placed objects of great value in his tomb so that he could enjoy them as he continued to occupy his high position in an afterlife. Did he? No. Much of that wealth ended up in the hands of grave robbers, and many objects that escaped the robbers can today be seen in museums.
Since he was dead, the Pharaoh got no use at all out of those expensive objects. In death, there are no upper and no lower classes, no wealth and no poverty. The Bible states: "Wise men must die; stupid men, brutish men, all perish. For men are like oxen whose life cannot last, they are like cattle whose time is short." (Psalm 49:10, 12, The New English Bible) Whether we are kings or slaves, these inspired words hold true for all of us: "As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages . . . There is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going."—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.
We are all born equal in God's eyes, and we all end up equal in death. How futile, then, to promote one group of people over another during our short lifetime!
A Classless Society—How?
Still, is there any hope that some day there will be a society among the living where social class will not be important? Yes, there is. Almost 2,000 years ago when Jesus was on the earth, the groundwork was laid for such a society. Jesus gave his life as a ransom sacrifice for all believing mankind so that "everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."—John 3:16.
To show that none of his followers should elevate themselves above fellow believers, Jesus said: "You, do not you be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, whereas all you are brothers. Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called 'leaders,' for your Leader is one, the Christ. But the greatest one among you must be your minister. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled." (Matthew 23:8-12) In God's eyes, all of Jesus' true disciples are equal in the faith.
Did the early Christians view themselves as equal? Those who got the sense of Jesus' teaching did. They viewed one another as equal in the faith and showed this by addressing one another as "brother." (Philemon 1, 7, 20) Nobody was encouraged to view himself as being better than others. Consider, for example, the humble way in which Peter described himself in his second letter: "Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith, held in equal privilege with ours." (2 Peter 1:1) Peter had personally been instructed by Jesus, and as an apostle, he held an important position of responsibility. Yet, he considered himself to be a slave and recognized that other Christians held the faith in equal privilege with him.
Some may say that the ideal of equality is contradicted by the fact that in pre-Christian times God made Israel his special nation. (Exodus 19:5, 6) They may claim that this is an example of racial superiority, but that is not so. It is true that the Israelites, as descendants of Abraham, enjoyed a special relationship with God and were used as the channel for divine revelations. (Romans 3:1, 2) But the purpose of this was not to put them on a pedestal. Rather, it was in order that 'all nations would be blessed.'—Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:8.
It turned out that most Israelites did not imitate the faith of their forefather Abraham. They were unfaithful and rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Because of that, God rejected them. (Matthew 21:43) However, the meek among mankind did not lose out on the promised blessings. At Pentecost 33 C.E., the Christian congregation was born. This organization of Christians who were anointed by holy spirit was called "the Israel of God," and it proved to be the channel through which those blessings would come.—Galatians 6:16.
Some members of that congregation needed educating in the matter of equality. For example, the disciple James counseled those who were treating wealthy Christians with more honor than poorer ones. (James 2:1-4) That was wrong. The apostle Paul showed that Gentile Christians were in no way inferior to Jewish Christians, and female Christians were in no way inferior to males. He wrote: "You are all, in fact, sons of God through your faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one person in union with Christ Jesus."—Galatians 3:26-28.
A Classless People Today
Jehovah's Witnesses today try to live according to Scriptural principles. They recognize that social classes have no meaning in the eyes of God. Thus, they have no clergy/laity division, and they are not segregated according to skin color or wealth. Although some of them may be wealthy, they do not focus on "the showy display of one's means of life," for they realize that such things are only transitory. (1 John 2:15-17) Rather, all are united by their worship of the Universal Sovereign, Jehovah God.
Every one of them accepts the responsibility to share in the work of preaching the good news of the Kingdom to his or her fellowman. Like Jesus, they honor the downtrodden and neglected by visiting them in their homes, offering to teach them God's Word. Those with a humble status in life work side by side with those who may be viewed by some as upper class. It is spiritual qualities that count, not social class. As in the first century, all are brothers and sisters in the faith.
Equality Allows for Variety
Of course, equality does not mean total uniformity. Men and women, old and young, are all represented in this Christian organization that includes people from many, many racial, linguistic, national, and economic backgrounds. As individuals, they have different mental and physical abilities. But those differences do not make some superior or others inferior. Rather, such differences result in a delightful variety. Those Christians recognize that any talents they have are gifts from God and are no reason for feelings of superiority.
Class divisions are a result of man's trying to govern himself instead of following God's guidance. Soon, God's Kingdom will take over the day-to-day rulership of this earth, and the result will be an end to man-made class distinctions, along with all other things that have caused suffering through the ages. Then, in a real sense, 'the meek will inherit the earth.' (Psalm 37:11) All reasons for boasting about one's supposed superiority will be gone. Never again will social classes be allowed to divide the worldwide brotherhood of man.

Initial references to the character Robin Hood are not found in historical documentation per se, but rather on the rolls of various English Justices from the 13th century. The legend of the able archer and swashbuckling swordsman known for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor," nevertheless has captured the popular imagination ever since the 1200s.Even William Shakespeare makes mention of Robin Hood in his 16th century play, Two Gentleman of Verona: "By the bare scalp of Robin Hood's fat friar, this fellow were a king in our wild faction." The Bard also references Robin Hood in the comedy As You Like It: "Already in the forest of Arden, and many more merry men with him; and they live like the old Robin Hood of England."
Now, subsequent to various film versions (with actors ranging from Errol Flynn to Sean Connery to Kevin Costner to Russell Crowe in the role of Robin Hood), along with several spoofs and send-ups (see Mel Brooks' Men in Tights), The Legend of Robin Hood has been reinvigorated by Nathan Makaryk's latest scripting and staging of this hoary tale of wealth redistribution and the questions it raises and the consequences it yields (at Fullerton's Maverick Theater, through April 14).
Directed by Makaryk with an emphasis on atmospherics (Mararyk also designed the inventive set – which, along with David Chorley's rich soundscape and Heidi Newell's earth-toned costuming, lend to this "Robin Hood" a visceral effect that is never less than enchanting), Robin Hood is a two-and-a-half-hour journey deep into the imperfect past of English speaking people.
Indeed, between the mesmerizing fight choreography (also by Mararyk), and production values as high as the tree tops in Sherwood Forest, this Robin Hood offers action and adventure that easily transcends a rather painstaking plotline. It is a marvelous accomplishment to witness 17 performers traverse the small stage of the Maverick Theater, all the while propelling the drama forward and conveying the themes of equity, justice, and sacrifice that have long been associated with the Robin Hood legend.
In an extraordinary cast, Glenn Freeze is first among equals in his textured portrayal of Baron Roger de Lacy, a perplexed sheriff of Nottinghamshire. As Robin, Frank Tryon at first appears to be a flaccid-faced dandy, but Tyron's embodiment of Robin's courage, charisma, and populist inclinations defy the character's aristocratic demeanor and landholding heritage. Surprisingly, Tryon's take on Robin becomes immediately credible.
Moreover, Andrea Dennison-Laufer's Lady Marion is a lovely emblem of femininity's force and influence. In fact, there's not an actor here whose performance is less then serviceable, with several players displaying impressive stage skills. Larry Creagan is spot-on as the burly-bodied and huge-hearted, John Little (a name often reversed to Little John in the ballads and fables of the day); Michael Keeny is convincing as the complex William de Wendenal; Jacob Hunter is movingly intense as Will Scarlet (Will's fate is an component of the play's surprising denouement); and, as the deadly Guy of Gisbourne, Scott Keister is menacingly magnetic.
In the medieval era, as in our present-day period, each of us see the righteousness of our positions – without often acknowledging or even necessarily understanding how those positions are preordained by the conditions of class and consciousness to which we are subjected. Experiencing this live, onstage interpretation of The Legend of Robin Hood may serve as a meditation on the importance of social justice and economic enfranchisement. Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, et al, are you listening?
The Legend of Robin Hood continues at the Maverick Theater – 110 East Walnut Avenue, Fullerton – through April 14. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with a 3 p.m. Saturday matinee. For reservations, dial (714) 526 – 7070. For online ticketing and further information, visit www.mavericktheater.com.

From March 2017 until October 2018, the Chilean Navy will be carrying out various activities to commemorate its 200 years of life. During the celebration of the Bicentennial the strategic vision and historical legacies will be presented, in the naval and maritime fields, with which the Institution has contributed to the consolidation of the national territory and development of the country, among which is the sustained effort in establishing an integrated maritime policy based on national interests; and, on the other hand, the future challenge to which the Institution is available to contribute in the creation of a National Oceanic Policy under the responsibility of the Council of Ministers (Foreign Affairs, Defense, Economy and Environment).
The first activity of the Bicentennial
With the presence of the President of the Republic, Michelle Bachelet, the Minister of National Defense, José Antonio Gómez, and the Commander in Chief of the Navy, Enrique Larrañaga, the ceremony that took place in Valparaíso took place on board the AP-41 Transport "Aquiles" recalls the first naval action of the Chilean Navy and corresponds to an episode in the history of Chile known as the Liberation of the Patriots of Juan Fernandez.
On the occasion, the President of the Republic stated that "it is a great honor to participate in a ceremony that begins the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Chilean Navy, to be on board the" Aquiles ", on the day when the Exactly 200 years since the departure of the brig "Águila" has a deep meaning, we are witnessing an anniversary that tells us about the importance that the Navy has had in the history of Chile, but it shows us above all, how the institutions that plunge its roots in the birth of the Republic are deeply imbricated of what was the deed of the Liberator. "
Regarding the role and importance of the Navy for the country, the Minister of Defense indicated that "one of the tasks that we have always wanted to relieve is the presence of the Armed Forces, and the Navy in particular in each of our misfortunes that we have lived in these times, a series of tragedies in which the Armed Forces, particularly this institution is present in each of them and thus recognizes the value that each of the Navy officials has, to protect, accompany our compatriots in disasters. "
Meanwhile, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, commented that it is "a pride to have the opportunity to highlight a task, a transcendent task that the Navy has done for 200 years at the service of the country." The Navy does not have a date specific foundational, but it was created to the extent of the needs, and for that reason then there are facts that occurred in the years 1817 and 1818, which we are going to replicate and commemorate in this year and a half of activities to honor the Marine".
He also announced that the corresponding decree for the construction of an icebreaker has been authorized and signed. "An Antarctic ship that we are going to start with the details engineering, which is the stage that comes next, and the cutting of the first iron would do it in May of this year, so as to count in four more years with an Antarctic ship modern that can replace the "Viel", which is reaching the limit of its useful life, in the understanding that the State of Chile wants to remain present in Antarctica, "he said.
Once the activity was over, the ship set sail for Juan Fernández, where on March 19, a ceremony will be held and a monolith will be installed in homage to the Chileans exiled in this place.
The celebrations of the 200 years of the Navy, will last for 24 months, ending in October 2018 with the Naval Magazine, given that there is no date established by decree and the Institution was born gradually with different milestones that led to finally the Chilean Navy will be created.
200 years ago
On February 26, 1817, the Spanish brig "Águila" was presented in Valparaíso, which was captured by the port authorities under the orders of Bernardo O'Higgins, thus becoming the first warship that had the Navy of Chile.
To this, they installed 16 guns, while its crew was made up of 43 men, of which 25 were foreigners, especially English, and 18 Chilean soldiers.
The first commission of the "Eagle" began on March 17, 1817 when he sailed from Valparaiso to release 78 illustrious citizens , who had suffered two years of exile in Juan Fernandez for having had some participation in the movements of the Old Homeland.
