This doesn't pose a problem when I load webpages, but with flash movies and stuff like that, the connection just slowly dies. I had similar problems before, and I fixed it by disabling Full Duplex. However, I can't find such a featur in the BIOS or anywhere else.
I haven't checked the motherboards CD yet though (the network card is integrated).

The world's most unpopular internet browser now comes with opt-in Super Stalking. Microsoft wants people to use its Edge browser so badly it will even pay people to use it.
Windows 10 and Edge users can earn credits that can be spent in the Microsoft online store on things like three months of advertisement-free Outlook and Amazon cards. But – Microsoft won't let you just run Edge and cash in: they will monitor the user's mouse and keyboard movements for "active use" of the browser. If you're busy enough, Redmond will hand over credits, soon to be renamed points under a program detailed here.
It will take about 1,000 Bing searches and about 19 days to earn about $5 which you can put towards a Starbucks coffee. Microsoft will offer additional credits to users who click things like training videos, MSN videos on how to make s'mores, and other Microsoft promotional content.
The new effort involves the renaming of Bing Rewards to Microsoft Rewards, and expanding it to cover Edge. Under the change, users who sign up before the pending switch from Bing Rewards to Microsoft Rewards will be promoted to level two, a title that can only be maintained by searching enough every day to earn that Starbucks coffee. Level two users get access to "exclusive offers" and get 10 per cent off certain Microsoft offerings.
As Internet browsers go, Google's Chrome is the uncontested champion of the web browsing wars, with some 51.04% of the market, according to NetMarketShare. The analyst site places Microsoft's Internet Explorer in second place with 21.76% , Safari with 11.12%, Firefox with 6% and Edge lagging behind them all at a dismal 3.91%. 'Other' web browsers account for 6.18% of the total.
For additional information: Get rewarded faster by browsing with Microsoft Edge. Earn points for every hour of active browsing with Microsoft Edge – up to 30 hours a month.

I need to jump back in here. Blogging that is. I originally started blogging to maintain a diary of sorts, of primarily bicycle travels. Then I was reading other bloggers and other bloggers were reading me. So with no further ado, I shall just jump back in,
Look at these bad boys, meet Big Fat Larry and his little brother Nate. Put 3 dirty M centuries on these two boys in the last 4 days. Nate in back with the big knobs and 4.8" Larry guiding the way in front. My opinion they will make a great pair for snow grinding. I climbed some dirt hills this weekend, that I think a better rider would not have with an Endo, or Larry in the rear.
I have been dealing with my shoulder flaring up again. In April I had shots of cortisone in both shoulders and it was like a miracle cure, until a bike crash a few months ago when my front tire kicked left from a rut, and I stuck out my right arm to break my fall. Ever since then it has been slowly getting worse. Probably some tendonitis with mayhaps some rotator cuff injury. Another shot of cortisone last week, and then I did this, snapped my Crank arm climbing a hill, threw me forward putting a lot of strain on right shoulder, dang that hurt, arm was numb for awhile. I am going to have to think about what level of risk, and icy snow rides. Doc says I should try to avoid surgery, recovery will be longer off the bike then I care to think about.
However my LBS installed free of charge a complete new assembly. Wonderful. Is why I believe in supporting your LBS instead of some warehouse in Chihuahua, Mexico owned by some royal family in Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Free replacement says it all for my 2007 crank.

Pelvic pain
Imagine not being able to sit down, go to work or look after your kids because of an overwhelming pain in your pelvis. One of our guests, Vanessa Watson, experienced excruciating pelvic pain for several years and it's radically altered her life. Vanessa's story is not uncommon but as the causes for pelvic pain are complex; some women don't receive adequate medical treatment. So what is known about the causes and could medical treatment and services improve?

Umineko: Introduction & Spoiler Policies [How not to get Banned]
This thread will serve as an introduction for all of you who aren't familar with Umineko no Naku Koro ni.
If you ever heard of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, you probably had the hunch that Umineko is linked to Higurashi, by just looking at the titles and subtitle. This is indeed the case, but to make sure you don't make any misunderstanding, the thread will serve as a little introduction. But first, here is a little summary of the premises:
The story is set in year 1986 on a secluded island named Rokkenjima, within a timeframe of 4th and 5th October. Kinzo, the head of the wealthy and prestigious Ushiromiya family, is declared to die soon by his attending physician. As result, his four sons and daughters prepare their next annual family meeting on the secluded island, to determine how the family assets will be shared among the siblings and their children.
However, during the meeting, all 18 people are trapped on the island by a typhoon, and soon after mysterious murders occur...
Ushiromiya Battler, the main protagonist of the franchise, will be facing a challenge: is everything humanly possible? Or does Beatrice truly exist?
As you might know, Higurashi was famous for its horror, mystery, suspense and drama themes over its 2 seasons.
As its successor, Umineko will certainly share some similarities in the themes, however that's that. Unless it will be as a cameo, you won't see characters like Keiichi or Rena in Umineko. None.
Umineko is by no mean a Higurashi II with different characters, nor a sequel/prequel: it is a story on its own. While Higurashi main vector was Mystery, Umineko focalises much more on the detective aspect: unlike Higurashi, Umineko will quickly show various typical detective plot headlines (the so cliché murder incident on a locked island), somewhat similar to Agatha Christie's And then they were none.
However, summarizing Umineko with this famous detective fiction would be unfair and inaccurate: aside of its detective aspect, Umineko offers a lot of different themes such like Higurashi: romance, drama, psychology and a very odd "Anti-Mystery VS Anti-Fantasy" aspect which will be addressed in Episode 2.
As you can see, the themes are really widespread and this is thanks to the plethora of characters we are served with Umineko. Although very different from the colorful cast of Higurashi, Umineko delivers many differents characters, all rich of traits, depths and unique problems that can turn the whole story as a sideplot.
Due to its inherent storytelling and structure, Umineko gives a formula combining the usual detective fiction with a twist of "alternative results", which was already used in Higurashi, a signature move of their author, Ryukishi07.
With this, the plot engross the readers over time regarding the nature of the murders, but more particularly to this specific question: Was everything the doing of a witch? Or can you claim the culprit is indeed human?
This challenge seems to be naturally driven to deny the witch, but common sense doesn't always prevail against the might of Fantasy. Deny it, overlook it, ignore it, forget it, but you certainly cannot make it unexistent unless you can prove it to be pure delusion.
As you probably saw in this sub-forum, many Game threads have an obscure "term": Episode. This is used pretty much like the term "chapter" and refers to the individual Umineko games.
If you ever happen to notice "episode", be cautious of the context of the discussion: talking about episode 2 and Episode 2 can be totally different (former being the second aired episode of 20 minutes of the anime series, while the later is the second ARC of the series).
I ask all of you to keep a certain "consensus" so none of you will be mistaken when discussing about Umineko: please use a capitalized E for game arc, while regular e for anime episode term. Also, the anime use a straightforward fashion for this: Episode X-Y (X being the number of the arc, Y being the number of the part/episode of this arc).
Of course, using the term "chapter" or the title of the said arc (Legend of the Golden Witch for example) can also do the trick.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni airs on Chiba TV on Thursday at 1:30AM, which means on Wednesday at:
If you want more accurate timezone, please check any time zone website, such like this one. From there, you can calculate yourself with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC - GMT) as the reference point. You can also follow this site.
Please do not start asking "when it airs depending of your location": the means have been presented to you, so use them at your own convenience.

Regarding Spoilers for Umineko [How Not To Be Banned]
As stated in our Spoilers Policies, we do not allow any spoilers EVEN in spoilers tags if they aren't located in the appropriate threads.
The use of spoiler tags doesn't make any spoilers eligible unless they are in their original material thread, the spoiler thread or for comparison sake (without any future event content).
Considering how the english community for Umineko grew much more in touch with the original material compared to Higurashi, it is inevitable that spoilers would be much more recurrent. This is the reason why rules WILL BE enforced.
Any game spoiler posted in an anime thread (except the spoiler/expectation thread) will end up with a temporary ban of 1 day, without any kind of warning (there won't be any excuse, and spoiler tags won't be any!). Further offense will escalate to harsher ban.
As game readers, you certainly realized that spoilers can have a huge impact on the enjoyement of this franchise, especially considering its mystery and detective aspect. Therefore, please do not spoil the fun of your peers who did not play the game like you did.
Comparisons with the original material and the manga is fine. BUT as stated in our policies, they can only be used if the material used was ALREADY shown in the anime medium. Therefore, please DO NOT start ranting about an inconsistency that can lead to some problem with a future Episode: it will just make things even more complicated for those who didn't read the visual novel! Please use the spoiler thread instead.
Furthermore, please do not switch the topic of the anime episode thread into a long extended comparison discussion. Again please use the spoiler thread.
Theses rules also apply to Avatars and Signatures: it is inevitable that some people are already spoiled due to the numerous use of spoilerish images. However, that doesn't mean any image can be used as avatar and/or signature.
Should it be considered as too spoilerish, it will be removed without any warning and infraction/ban can be issued. So please play it safe (if you are unsure, you can ask to me or any other seasoned game player if your image is a spoiler or not).
Additionally, please remember that everyone didn't finish/watch/read Higurashi before watching/reading Umineko. Therefore, please keep it safe and use proper spoiler tags and titles. Due to Umineko basis, it is pretty easy to inadvertaly spoil Higurashi.
Finally, please remember that we, moderators, are here to settle things the fastest we can. Therefore, if you notice a spoiler, please report it by clicking on the report icon (). It will be much faster this way than quoting and saying "IT IS A SPOILER!".
Not only it won't fix anything, but if the spoiler wasn't obvious, your post will put more emphasis to it and might turn to a REAL spoiler as result.

These are good guidelines, I was not aware of this lowercase for anime and uppercase for game thing, will keep that in mind to avoid confuse. I might just say 'game' and 'tv ep' or something since it seems confusing for people who don't read this page.

Dubai offers a wide variety of natural attractions that make it the popular tourist and expatriate destination it is today.
The UAE's natural facets include an abundance of sunshine, sandy beaches, sea and water sports, all combined with an intriguing cultural experience. In addition, a relaxed, high quality lifestyle of top-class restaurants, golf resorts and tax-free shopping continues to entice a growing influx of investors, expatriates and holidaymakers alike.
Its geographic location allows the UAE to act as a connecting link, both physically and culturally, between Europe and the Indian sub-continent, the Far East and Africa.
An immense four fifths of the Emirates is composed of desert; however, they also offer a truly awe-inspiring spectacle of contrasting landscapes - sweeping sand dunes, fertile plains, rich oases with steep, rocky mountains and waterfalls, make the UAE a spectacular place to visit.
The climate in the UAE varies slightly from emirate to emirate but average winter temperatures can go down to 14°C in January and reach as high as 41°C in August. Many visitors avoid the worst of the summer heat between June and September. Rainfall is generally sparse and intermittent, falling mostly during February or March.
Traditional Arab hospitality and the country's deep-rooted cultural heritage are firm attractions for visitors to the UAE and these are easily accessible in the Emirates' many cultural centres. Traditional sports such as falconry, camel-racing and horse-racing are also great attractions for tourists.
As one of the most liberal countries in the Gulf, other cultures and beliefs are generally tolerated provided, that is, that visitors also respect the native Arab culture of the emirate they are visiting. English is widely spoken as a common international language within professional circles.
Ease of access via its six international airports boosts the UAE's attraction as a worldwide business and holiday destination.
An abundance of sightseeing opportunities exists in the UAE, from cultural monuments to natural and man-made wonders, adding to the UAE's great appeal as a relocation and holiday destination. Sights such as Dubai's Arabian oryx, the Al Maha wildlife resort, and Wild Wadi Park with its adventure theme park are just some of the more natural attractions that await tourists.

We all need to take a break from 'work' once in while, often times I find myself playing a few rounds of Pokerth. Version 0.6 which was released on December 13th 2007, adds a few nice features, most notably the "Internet Game" with the dedicated PokerTH Server [You don't need to setup your own server to play with friends now – the functionality still exists if you wish to], as well as adding support for SCTP and IPv6.
PokerTH is a nicely polished game that's addictively fun if you're into todays craze of Texas Holdem. I generally find the PokerTh server slow, so I tend to just play local games with it, but without doubt it's become my new solitaire/spider/tri-peaks replacement. When I do fancy the fun and challenge of competition I run Pokerstars through Wine.
So do you want to give it a try? :-)
We're given two options for download, an installer or a zip archive. [libSDL is required – this should already be installed by default]
We'll use the installer method here. Let's grab the package:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pokerth/PokerTH-0.6-linux-installer.bin?use_mirror=osdn
Now we need to make the bin file executable:
chmod +x PokerTH-0.6-linux-installer.bin
Then execute the file to start the bitrock installer:
Follow through the installer [Screenshots detailing the process below]
The installer will create a shortcut on your desktop, to play PokerTH click it. :-)
Here are a series of screenshots of PokerTH's settings.
The installer also creates an uninstaller in its directory. If you wish to uninstall PokerTH, cd to its directory and execute the uninstaller.
cd PokerTH-0.6
PokerTH is released under GPL v2; the source is available <here> [Warning: Link is a Direct Download] / or visit the download page. If you have any issues or find any bugs they can be report on the forum, bug reports can also be filed with the bug tracker.
Have Fun

Russia: Nashi Youth Leader Reveals Existence of Kremlin-Financed Spy Program
Anna Bukovskaya, a St. Petersburg activist with the pro-Kremlin Nashi youth group, said she coordinated a group of 30 young people who infiltrated branches of the banned National Bolshevik Party, Youth Yabloko and United Civil Front in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh and six other cities.More here.
The agents informed Bukovskaya, who passed the information to senior Nashi official Dmitry Golubyatnikov, who in turn contacted "Surkov's people" in the Kremlin, Bukovskaya told The Moscow Times. Vladislav Surkov is President Dmitry Medvedev's first deputy chief of staff.
The agents provided information on planned and past events together with pictures and personal information on activists and leaders, including their contact numbers, Bukovskaya said by telephone from St. Petersburg.
They were paid 20,000 rubles ($550) per month, while she received 40,000 rubles per month, she said.
She said Nashi, which is believed to have been created by Surkov, had nothing to do with the project and speculated that Kremlin officials might be behind it.

The Le Roy Twelve: Vaccine Victims?
As you have no doubt heard, the media has been gripped by yet another medical mystery. Twelve girls from Le Roy Junior Senior High School in upstate New York have been suffering uncontrollable movements that cause them pain, in addition to stuttering and verbal outbursts. Psychiatrists have diagnosed the girls with "conversion disorder" – a very rare condition that essentially boils down to a diagnosis of "it's all in their heads." Unsurprisingly, at least one of the girls is not accepting that her illness is merely psychological, insisting that there must be some physical reason for it.
A great series of articles at VaxTruth investigate the possibility that the girls have been vaccine injured. As the articles point out, girls are more vulnerable to vaccine injury since they tend to weigh less than boys, may use cosmetic products that contain harmful chemicals, and are more likely to be taking oral contraceptives or to adopt a meatless diet, both of which can limit their body's ability to flush out toxins.
With all these factors in play, it can be a problem when girls get their regularly scheduled vaccines, particularly since many vaccines contain aluminum or mercury compounds that function as adjuvants, activating the body's immune system. Certain environmental factors – such as high levels of pollution – can also heighten the likelihood of an adverse vaccine reaction.
To read the full series of articles, please click here. I strongly recommend reading through them all – they are highly readable and offer a great deal of information to parents wanting to learn more about vaccine risks and benefits.

The Essence of the Mindful Arts
What is the inherent dynamic nature of a plant? We can say something like: "upwards growth towards the sunshine, drawing in and channelling water into it's cells, and replicating its DNA in various ways". All of these properties of a plant are seamlessly interwoven into a whole which is greater than the sum of it's parts - a true nature or single essence of a plant.
What is the inherent dynamic nature of a human, then? It seems the difficult answer to this question lies at the root of all philosophical and religious schools. Because the human mind is so powerful and creative there have been so many different conclusions and theories. The very existence of a variety of conceptions of the true nature of humans points to something in itself - that there is no apparent truth in such conceptual answers, since concepts are mere maps of a territory. As we can see on Google Maps - we can look at a territory from 'street view', or satellite, or major roads - none of them are ultimately wrong, but none of them are truly an accurate representation of the territory they are referring to. Similarly for our concepts mapping reality; these complex inventions created by the mind - impositions on reality - can cover up simple truths.
In the same way killing and dissecting a frog to understand it's living state undermines such a study, the act of using criteria, machines, or exercises to analyse humans from outside will be cutting up and 'tainting' the humanity under study in various ways to the point key information may easily be lost. Scientists have now been discovering, however, that they can look into their own humanity without the need for surgery or even criteria - that when they focus upon their internal world, even when limiting their thoughts, aspects of their nature which are normally hidden come to the fore as the mind settles.
When philosophers and scientists have turned to study their own living humanity, they have often again found that their own analytical activity has got in the way - that their minds could not settle enough. Therefore one common conception of human nature has been that humans are 'investigators'. However this seems to be akin to looking in a mirror to undertstand oneself and coming up with the answer "I am a mirror-user". If we can go beyond the reflective process enough, then we can see something within ourselves deeper than the surface of a mirror. This is a huge feat in itself, since we are so used to actively doing something and attaching conceptual purpose to it. The active process of doing anything often covers up the 'raw' state of existence with conceptual manipulation.
In order to focus the mind more effectively, so that it does not habitually drift off into imagining things so much, a single point of focus can be utilised in order to turn the energy of the mind into a kind of laser which burns through potential distractions. This focused energy can help to bring about a state of awareness beyond thoughts - beyond impositions placed upon reality, and the practitioner will obtain an experience of human nature beyond mental constructs. Classically and in modern times, this mindful practice has revealed a basic underlying nature which is calm and at ease - with breathing and heart rate relaxed, deep, and tranquil - the body's functions continuing automatically and instinctively like a plant quietly reaching towards the sun.
Once a mindfulness practitioner has become acquainted enough with this underlying true nature, they can use it's existence as a reference point in their life when they need to make adjustments to their behaviour - when unhealthy habits surface. These unhealthy habits are not the essence of the true nature of the human concerned - they are a product of human true nature meeting unfavourable circumstances. Humans are not the only organisms to meet unfavourable circumstances, of course, and it seems we can learn a lot from plants and animals - nature in general, to better understand our own particular nature.
If a plant grows from a seed sprouting in an unfavourable location, the plant will act according to its true nature to the extent that it may grow a long straggling stem and pale leaves as it attempts to find sunshine. We can still see the plant's true nature in it's malnourished state - we may say that the plant is unhealthy due to it's environment or birthplace. We can see it's noble intentions to reach for the sunlight in it's over-stretched elongated form and so we feel sad for the plant's unfortunate beginnings in life. The plant's deeper internal state - it's true nature - can never be unhealthy - it has always been following it's genetic programming. The same can be said of human beings - we all start out with noble intentions - the tales of princes and princesses inspire us, and then, depending on our environment, we either find a way to meet those ideals, or we fail and become pale and over-stretched. This does not mean that we are ever inherently unhealthy - it just means we have met unfortunate circumstances.
The natural attention of a human, and the tendons we use to manifest our intentions are intimately linked etymologically through the Latin word tendere - "to stretch or extend", and the word tendon comes from the same idea. So we can say the human body tends to follow it's intention by paying attention to the stretching it's tendons. When one considers the practice of mindful yoga, one can see that yoga is this very process of following, and immersing oneself in the body's natural intension/tendons/attending.
In Chinese, this intention - the potential dynamic nature of something - is called yì: 意. It is a combination of the Chinese characters 音 and 心; sound/tone/pitch/pronunciation + heart/mind respectively. This is very similar to the character for mindfulness; 念, which is constructed from a speaking mouth above a heart.
The mindful arts all appear to try to be in harmony with the calm, tranquil 'yi' - our healthy, soft inner tension, or intention, which allows our dynamic true nature to manifest in the physical world. This true nature or intention can be felt in the muscles maintaining our calm breathing, our upright yet flexible spine as we sit in meditation, or even as a whole-body postural muscle sensation as we stand in the various standing yoga postures of the martial yoga system of YiQuan. Even though gravity and other forces and energies attempt to pull us down or apart, our dynamic inner tensions hold us together as a unified whole.
This inherent dynamic true nature - a peaceful, dignified dimension to our being, forms the backdrop or 'anchor' to all activities when practicing mindfulness - whether in formal seated meditation or otherwise. Certain activities and arts can be, and have been, calibrated so that the backdrop of true nature can be amplified and made more tangible while those activities are carried out, and the expression of one's true nature becomes all the more apparent in the products of these various mindful arts.

Parts of Speech course update/
Here is an update from Mrs. Kelly Cone, teacher of the Summer Parts of Speech course:
"Given the short nature of this summer course, I will not be requiring you to purchase your own textbook. Instead, I will be using a wonderful book called Simply Grammar as a teacher resource. I will be posting certain select pages on the white board for the students, and we will practice the concepts learned by reading short poems and discovering the different parts of speech contained within.
Once again, it is not required that you purchase a copy of the book for this course. As a whole, Simply Grammar is a more intensive course than we will have time for, and we want to make sure that your student (s) are able to retain the material they are learning this summer without overwhelming anyone. However, the book is an excellent Charlotte Mason resource and at the end of the course, I would highly recommend purchasing a copy for use and review (for all grade levels!) throughout the year." -- Adam Lockridge Director St. Raphael School www.raphaelschool.org 913-594-8172

Given today's evidence that there are targets to increase sanctioning people's social security at all costs, it is time to put the charities who help that happen on the spot.
In the last month, thanks to your action, five charities have said they will no longer take part in Workfare Schemes: Sense, PDSA, Capability Scotland, Sue Ryder and the Red Cross. The Children's Society has also pledged not to use Workfare.
This means the Workfare Schemes which rely on charity placements are on the rocks! Already before the latest withdrawals, the government complained: "The high profile withdrawal of placements from a number of larger charities meant a sharp reduction in placements."
One in five people sent on mandatory work activity in charity shops face destructive sanctions (benefit stoppages) of three or six months. The charities still involved are profiting from making people poorer. Let's tell them it's time to pull out!

Education • Restoration • Celebration
Poudre RiverFest is a free, family-friendly festival in Fort Collins, Colorado, that restores, celebrates and educates people about the Cache la Poudre River, an important natural resource in our community. The festival features a variety of activities for people to explore the role of the river as an important habitat for wildlife, a recreation area and a source for clean drinking water. Educational and volunteer activities take place throughout the day with a culminating celebration in the afternoon.
June 2, 2018, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Location: Adjacent to New Belgium Brewery on the Poudre River Oxbow
Poudre RiverFest is made possible through the support of generous sponsors in our community that care about the Cache la Poudre River. The festival is a collaborative event that brings together like-minded nonprofits from our local conservation community:
- Bird Conservancy of the Rockies
- Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed
- National Association for Interpretation
- Poudre Heritage Alliance
- Wildlands Restoration Volunteers
Proceeds support the festival activities allowing the community to have a free event where they can learn about and engage with the Poudre River.
Schedule of Activities
- 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. – FESTIVAL CELEBRATION with New Belgium beer garden, food trucks, guest speakers, workshops, kids' activities, exhibitors and live music! Music will be provided throughout the day.
- 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. – KIDS CORNER hands-on learning and fun! (located inside the festival grounds)
Click here for more information to plan your visit »
The current iteration of Poudre RiverFest was first held in May of 2014 in the wake of the devastating high floodwaters of 2013. A group of local nonprofits decided to pool their resources and bring together their unique expertise to create a festival focused solely on the Cache la Poudre River, where people could learn about the river, get their hands dirty and raise a glass to this natural treasure!
Volunteer at Poudre RiverFest and be a part of helping us restore and celebrate the Cache la Poudre River.
Volunteers are needed to assist with the afternoon celebration. Sign up to volunteer at the event.

In early October that's damned hot - means it probably nicked 35 at the peak today and for just under two weeks into spring that doesn't bode well for summer - 40 is going to hurt, any hotter is going to be really nasty. The winds are up too and from what I've heard it's gonna be a shocker of a bushfire season. Hope it's not like 2003 when they lost 2.6 million hectares of land to fire (6.5 million acres) in NSW, Vic and the ACT alone. 70% of the ACT was burnt. I've just been on an endless winter working holiday so it's my first summer in two years hence the reaction to the heat - that and I hate fire season soooo much.

This is the first year I am growing several adult Anacampseros of all different kinds and can watch and compare how they grow throughout the year. For a plant nerd this is really fascinating. In my last "observations" I was talking about new growth coming from underneath and this one will continue this thought.
It looks to me that these plants tend to abandon the branches that have extensively flowered. As if producing the flower stalk is sucking all the juices out of it. Well, considering the size of those flower stalks, no wonder! What I have seen in the multi-branched plants that flowered this year is that the flowering branches drop leaves one by one until they look like bald twigs with only a couple of leaves at the top and no signs of new growth. If I think back to last winter when I got the majority of my adult plants, some of them have arrived with such "towers", meaning the towers have not grown any new leaves or branches of their own to cover the baldness during fall and winter. This year it seems the same thing is happening and my guess is that this is quite natural. Not very pretty though.
I don't need my Anacampseros plants to be big and so trimming those twig-towers looks like an option to keep the plants round-ish and compact. This year I have trimmed two plants with good results.
Remember this plant I was showing back in February?
Anacampseros arachnoides, An35
Well, I thought the towers quite ugly and cut them off shortly after. Since then the plant grew new leaves and branches with fresh strength and then flowered. And you have to admit the general look is much better.
Moreover, as I felt sad to throw away the towers, I tried to root them, and it worked! They looked so dead and then, when they were cut off and not dependent on the roots and resources of the big plant, they really flourished. (This sentence sounds like some kind of lesson for humans I'm not going to elaborate on.)
Here they are when they just barely rooted and started to show some green.
Here they are now.
The other plant in a similar situation is my beautiful Anacampseros vanthielii. Here is the photo from May this year, when I was pondering on whether it's going to abandon the "tops".
Well, it did. And I should have cut the yellow branches then and there. I kept them in the hope that all the growth from below will eventually consume them or some new leaves will come out from the top. I think the plant was just wasting energy on them and that's why didn't flower. Meanwhile the tops grew scruffy-looking. A month ago I took my scissors and cut off all the yellow stuff and look at that! The "undergrowth" spread its leaves and got a healthy color under the sun. And the plant is now a cute ball of leaves and hairs. I should have cut off all the yellow parts back in the spring.
This year, as the flowering nears its end, I see some plants abandoning the flowering branches and I will be cutting them off and rooting them this time without a second thought. It benefits the plants and creates "back-up copies" I can give away.

My next GRAND project...
Hi all!
Well... I know things have been quiet at The House of War... as everyone knows, I've lost the actual Room of War to my son. Now, I have been doing a little work on his room (the photos here are from his mural in his new room, which we are about to move him into... the Africa ones were from his current "baby" room) but I do have another project planned!
A new Wargames table!!!
Well... sort of.
A beautiful breathtaking war-games table with customized buildings and bridges and waterways that might possibly dedicated to... Thomas the Train?
Yep. I am making a train table for my son, who ADORES Thomas the Train. It will actually be very similar to my old war-games table... build on rolling ikea shelves, custom foam, trees... just with a train set running about it!
Over this whole will be a pink foam world, with a few rivers cut out... basically the under board will be the level of the water, and the foam will the the land. The land will be sanded and painted, the rivers painted, and some detail done.
I then plan to base up some of my 25mm trees, and create a set of interchangeable buildings... basically, building a new "war-games" table!:)
I'll post the work as I go... it should look pretty wood, when it is all said and done!:D

A train table is a great idea, but having it "fixed" is a great deal less fun for the boy than having one where he can build to his own specification.
My own son has a crate of wooden track, and enjoys building layouts far more than actually driving the trains about...

I agree... he actually will have two tables:) He has one "sandbox" one where he can move whatever he wants and build whatever he wants, and then the "fixed" one. I have to glue the tracks down, unfortunately, because of the water and bridges and all of that.
Thanks for coming by!

Harvey Wiley, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Federal Regulation of Food and Drugs
Gaughan, Anthony
MetadataShow full item record
CitationHarvey Wiley, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Federal Regulation of Food and Drugs (2004 Third Year Paper)
AbstractThe Roosevelt and Wiley story is important because it shows the role individuals can have on the course of history. Congressional passage of the Food and Drug Act, as well as the Meat Inspection Act, reflected sweeping changes underway in the shape and direction of the federal government. By advocating food and drug regulation as a federal responsibility, Roosevelt and Wiley helped facilitate the dramatic expansion of the federal government's role in promoting the health and safety of American consumers. Although both grew up as staunchly pro-business Republicans, each came to see a pressing need for at least a degree of federal regulation of the marketplace, particularly in regard to consumer health and safety. Indeed, Roosevelt and Wiley envisioned the Food and Drug Administration as an important ally to free enterprise. They believed that federal regulation would give consumers a higher degree of confidence and security in purchasing food and drug products, which in turn would lead to further market growth. A century of federal food and drug law in the United States has born out that vision. The Roosevelt-Wiley story is thus not only an account of the birth of the Food and Drug Administration; it is an account of the birth of the modern federal government.

Law and Gender research at Cardiff University is of international importance. Our work has two distinguishing features. Firstly, the breadth of our law and gender scholarship. Secondly, our place at the heart of a law school with a global reputation for socio-legal excellence and with Europe's youngest legislature, quite literally, on our doorstep.
Expertise on law and gender at Cardiff spans the doctrinal spectrum of private law, public law, international and criminal law. Gender is not a niche interest but a core component of our research. We explore gender as a legally constituted social order and examine how contemporary understandings of gender are expressed in law, and given legal meaning. Much of our research identifies how law is developed and applied in response to gendered social issues. We assess its effectiveness, impact and consequences.
In 2016 our 'Gender Rules' research methods conference calls into question the gendering of legal rules and draws scholarly attention to understanding gender as a legal order. By exploring law as a body of 'gender rules' our speakers and events aim to identify the legal dimensions of gender and the role of law in variously reaffirming, underpinning, or re-envisaging gendered social relations. Selecting the tab from the menu at the top of this webpage you can find more information about our great line up of speakers. We also have a Summer Seminar with Martha Fineman: Austerity, vulnerability and justice. The conference and seminar take place in June and July 2016 respectively and booking is essential because places are limited.
This site is currently under construction, but soon you will be able to find out more about who we are individually, and the issues that spark our intellectual curiosity. If you are a student (or would-be student), and are thinking about taking one of our courses, or if you wish to study for a PhD, this will be a good place to find out a little more about our research interests and motivations. Alternatively, you might be a public policy professional, a legal practitioner, or have a press/media request. This section will help you decide who best to approach and will point you to our contact details.
Via the 'Scholarship and Resources' tab on the menu above you will find a growing range of helpful links and further information drawn together by our team of law & gender scholars. These cover topics as diverse as criminal, medical, environment and land law, human rights, labour law, commercial and contract law, family and social care law.
Cardiff is the only Russell group university in the UK with a continuing professional legal studies department and is the leading law school in Wales. Our widely-acclaimed Innocence project enables students to explore potential cases of miscarriage of justice. We have a thriving Law Clinic, through which our students work with legal practitioners and a newly launched Global Justice pro-bono scheme with gender at its heart. As a collective body of scholarship, our law and gender research is framed by urgent concerns about democracy, accountability, sustainability and equality.
We are uniquely placed to research law and gender through the lens of public policy priorities and offer critical insights about devolution and legislative competence. We have a facebook page which you can 'like' to get regular updates and posts – click here and you can follow us on Twitter @lawandgender
Through the Centre of Law and Society, our Gender Rules research series is supported by the Journal of Law and Society. For over forty years, The Journal of Law and Society has been edited at Cardiff Law School as the leading UK periodical in socio-legal studies. It offers an interdisciplinary approach and is cited all over the world by legal researchers, sociologists, criminologists and other social scientists.

Here are four ways the finance department can improve efficiency now:
Financial reporting no longer has to be an expensive, periodic exercise built on static data. The "democratisation" of advanced analytic tools such as Power BI to end users, coupled with the ability to share reporting in a secure fashion in near real time, represents a significant improvement in capability and efficiency.
The integration of hyper-scale data analytics and machine learning will revolutionise the financial forecasting processes that drive most large enterprises. The speed, flexibility, accuracy and ability to integrate the avalanche of new and traditional data streams make cloud-based financial forecasting a potential game changer for modern finance organizations.
With the growth of IoT and new digital data streams, cloud technology offers a low-cost solution to consolidate massive amounts of financial data. Fast to deploy and scalable, it provides wide visibility into all aspects of the business while also adapting to your ERP needs as they change.
Cloud-enabled technology can transform control and compliance activities such as audit and fraud detection. By moving away from a periodic, sample-based approach and towards continuous analysis of complete data sets, organisations can have enhanced visibility into anomalous behaviour, allowing them to identify non-compliant activities straight away.

He got a flat baby
Kick in the back baby
A heart attack baby
I need your body
A hot kiss honey
He's just a bitch baby
You make me sick baby
So unrelying
I'm such a swine baby
All down the line daddy
I hate your kind baby
So unreliable
A hot buzz baby
He's one of us baby
Another drug baby
You so desire
Trust in me
Trust in me
Put all your trust in me
Your doin' morphine
She got your number
She know your game
She put you under
It's so insane
Since you seduce her
How does it feel
To know that woman
Is out to kill
Every night stance is like talkin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And it seemed that everything was on my side
(Blood on my side)
She seemed sincere like it was love and true romance
And now she's out to get me
And I just can't take it
Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
As the hounding media in hysteria
Who's the next for you to resurrect
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told the grassy knoll
As the blackmail story in all your glory
It's slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And you don't have to read it,read it
And you don't have to eat it,eat it
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
The lies are disgusting
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks
Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
If you tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
you're sellin' out souls but
I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
[ Find more Lyrics on link ]
Lie for it
Spy for it
Kill for it
Die for it
So you call it trust
But I say it's just
In the devil's game
Of greed and lust
They don't care
They'd do me for the money
They don't care
They use me for the money
So you go to church
Read the Holy word
In the scheme of life
It's all absurd
They don't care
They'd kill for the money
Do or dare
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we
were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was
yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this
weeping shore?
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Ohoo Ohooooo
What have we done to the world
They wanna get my ass
Dead or alive
You know he really tried to take me
Down by surprise I bet he
missioned with the CIA
He don't do half what he say
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
He out shock in every single way
He'll stop at nothing just to
get his political say
He think he's hot cause he's BSTA
I bet he never had a social life anyway

* TSX up 0.52 percent at 12,176.84
* Miners lead rally as gold, copper price rallies
* Modest Canada job gains in March (Adds details)
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO, April 9 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index finished a volatile week higher on Friday with broad gains backed by a rise in the price of key metals and optimism that Canada's economic recovery is on track.
The index's materials group rose 1.13 percent as gold hit its highest level this year, boosting shares of Barrick Gold Corp (ABX.TO), the world's biggest gold producer, which gained 0.95 percent to C$41.49. Kinross Gold (K.TO) jumped 1.63 percent to C$18.67. [GOL/]
Other metals prices, including copper, which neared $8,000 a tonne, were also firmer, helping base metals miner Teck Resources gain 1.7 percent to C$45.97. [MET/L]
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE finished 63.31 points, or 0.52 percent, higher at 12,176.84. It was up 0.2 percent on the week, its fourth straight weekly gain, after hitting an 18-month high on Monday.
Data showed fewer Canadians returned to work in March than expected but the three-month hiring trend was the strongest since the financial crisis intensified in the autumn of 2008, suggesting economic recovery is entrenched. [ID:nN09253705]
"Any month we are creating jobs is positive," said Barry Schwartz, a portfolio manager at Baskin Financial Services.
"I wouldn't say we are in a full-blown recovery but we're certainly off the bottom nicely."
The improving economy theme was also noted in the United States, with the Dow surpassing 11,000 for the first time since September 2008, as Chevron Corp gave an upbeat outlook and data showed wholesale inventories rose more than expected in February. [ID:nN09141748] [.DJI] [ID:nN0992271]
The Toronto market could gather momentum next week as U.S. first-quarter earnings season starts. Canada's corporate reporting season isn't in full swing for a few weeks, though a few tech and media companies have released earnings, including Shaw Communications Inc on Friday. [ID:nN07120046]
"I think the companies in general are going to beat expectations," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall and MacTier.
"In the short term it still looks quite good to me without any dramatic moves in interest rates, earnings look like they'll be ratcheted up again, and Greece seems to be out of the way here."
Concerns about Greece's debt problems eased as speculation mounted that policymakers had reached an deal on terms for possible emergency loans. [ID:nLDE6380QK]
Among individual stocks, Shoppers Drug Mart SC.TO slid for a second day as investors continued to assess the fallout from the province of Ontario's plan to reduce generic drug prices. [ID:nN08178007]
Shoppers, Canada's biggest drugstore chain, was down 1.72 percent at C$38.25 on Friday and has lost more than 11 percent over two sessions.
Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATDb.TO) rose 3.85 percent to C$18.90 on news that it has offered to buy Casey's General Stores (CASY.O) to expand its presence in the United States. The target company rejected the $1.85 billion offer as opportunistic. [ID:nN09247870]
Shares of Research In Motion RIM.TO gained 0.64 percent to C$70.25, after the BlackBerry maker said it will acquire the QNX Software unit from Harman International. [ID:nWNAB7396]

Ways to avoid probate include implementing revocable living trusts, gifting property and having joint ownership with another individual, according to Nolo.com. Another way to avoid probate is having payable-on-death accounts.
Living trusts were implemented to allow people to avoid probate. Valuable property is held in trust, and when the individual passes away, that property is not part of an estate, according to Nolo. This is because the trustee, not the individual, owns the trust property. The trustee then disburses the property to the beneficiaries.
Bank accounts and retirement accounts can be converted to payable-on-death accounts by listing a beneficiary. When the account owner dies, the money goes directly to the beneficiary without first going through probate, states Nolo. Security registrations can also be set up this way, and some states allow vehicle registrations to be set up for payable-on-death transfer.
There are a few different forms of joint ownership, and this provides an easy way to avoid probate. The title documents of the property list the joint owner, and when one owner passes away, the property is automatically transferred to the other named owner.
Giving away property while alive helps to avoid probate simply because the individual who passed away no longer owns the property.

I made this little pincushion yesterday. My normal go-to pincushion is made from hexies (of course!), but I did something a bit different this time. I simply cut two circles of fabric, sewed them together, stuffed them with crushed walnut shells, sewed an old button to the center for a little tufting. The pincushion sits in a little round Altoids tin, giving it a sturdy base. I made this for a pincushion swap at our guild retreat in a couple of weeks.
I made the binding for TWO quilts yesterday. Then I machine sewed the binding to the first quilt - ready for hand stitching! I also worked on my little (soon-to-be revealed appliqué project. And I spent a bit of time cleaning my studio - still lots more to do in there. I need a marathon fabric folding session for the pile of fabrics I've pulled in the last month or so - they are piled everywhere!
Today I think I'll baste the second quilt so it will be ready to

While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the advancement of a four-passenger sports car they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, marketing and advertising team prepared the world for the introduction of a vehicle they called the Panther.
All through the summertime of 1965 virtually every aspect of the vehicle's design and advancement, from initial design sketches to clay designs, was photographed and carefully documented. Chevy used the assets to produce a 30 -minute film The Camaro for sale in Evansville WY , which was later on shown on TELEVISION and in movie theaters. They likewise presented ladies's clothes called the Camaro Collection and even a Camaro roadway race game.
Buy Classic Chevrolet Camaros
In November, Chevy sales executives and imaginative individuals previewed prototype models at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's age-old ad agency, right away started work on brochures, direct-mail advertising and sales promotion materials, in addition to print, outdoor and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New York Car Show Press Conference, Chevrolet sales executives admitted no name had been chosen for the new vehicle, but did reveal that prices of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Evansville WY design will remain in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive undertones of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later trigger the Pontiac variation, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its short life time, the F-car had been called by numerous names consisting of Wildcat, Chaparral, Commander and Nova. It's also reported that Chevy thought about utilizing the letters "GM" in the name, and developed G-Mini, which developed into GeMini and lastly Gemini. Nevertheless, GM's upper management banned the idea, fearing the vehicle might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet lastly proposed the name Camaro and upper management quickly agreed. Although the name has no real significance, GM scientists apparently found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "buddy" or "buddy." It's reported that Ford Motor Business scientists likewise discovered other definitions, including "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Due to the fact that a number or pre-launch materials had already been released using the Panther name, Chevy's most pushing challenge was to now relabel their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Evansville WY by looking for classic car dealers.
The sticker price of $2,466 for a Camaro base coupe and $2,704 for a base convertible was completely competitive with Ford's prices of their 1967 Mustang designs which was $2,461 for the basic coupe, $2,692 for a standard fastback and $2,898 for a conventional convertible.Taking a page from Mustang's success in making extra make money from choices and accessories, the Camaro could be ordered with almost 80 factory choices and 40 dealer devices.
Buyers might likewise choice as much as a larger 250-inch version of the basic straight six engine, a choice of 327-cubic-inch small-block V8s fed by either a two-barrel or a four-barrel carburetor and 2 variations of the 396-cubic-inch big-block V8. In order to keep the new Camaro from taking sales away from the Corvette, a business edict prohibited equipping it with engines larger than 400 cid. Transmission options included a four-speed handbook, a two-speed "Powerglide" and in late 1967 the brand-new three-speed "Turbo Hydra-Matic 350".

Exactly four years ago today, I opened up this little blog dedicated to the work of Pixar Animation Studios. I never could have foretold what would follow.
Here we are now in 2014, a relatively slow year in terms of Pixar news, what with no new Pixar feature film until 2015. It would be easy to merely shut this blog down and be done with it, but that's not something I plan on doing anytime soon, because I know it would likely end up being one of the biggest regrets of my life. In the past four years, Pixar Corner has opened so many doors for me, and it's also given me the privilege of meeting some wonderful people, both in person and through social media. I have also been incredibly, unbelievably fortunate to have been able to visit both Pixar's HQ in Emeryville, California and Pixar Canada in Vancouver, Canada (before its unfortunate closure in October, which still has me feeling pretty bummed out). A huge thank you goes out to Pixar publicist Chris Wiggum and Pixar Canada General Manager and VP Amir Nasrabadi, who made those once-in-a-lifetime experiences possible. If either of you is reading this, know that you made one of my childhood dreams into reality, and that's a debt I don't think I'll ever be able to repay.
A shoutout also to the very talented Paul Robin, who continues to spruce up this blog with his very inventive seasonal headers. Don't forget to check out his blog!
I'd also like to thank my fellow bloggers and Twitter buddies, with whom it is always a pleasure to interact and share opinions, and my readers, both the ones who have been here from the start and the ones just tuning in. And of course, thank you to all the artists and storytellers at Pixar, who have continued to entertain and inspire me throughout my entire life.
Here's to another four years of blogging!

Ranbir's new love is Nargis Fakhri
Don't draw any wrong conclusion with the headline. No, Ranbir Kapoor has not found his true love in Nargis Fakhri but he has been paired opposite the half Czech and half Pakistani model in Imtiaz Ali's 'Rockstar'. The duo has been currently shooting in Prague. In the film, Nargis is playing the role of a dancer.
The 5'9'' model has been featured in the 2009 Kingfisher calendar. Before she made to the movie, she has to go through a series of audition. She missed the chance to make to the Top Model house during Cycle 3. She has done many TV commercial and featured in many magazine covers.
Though she is a model, she once expressed that she is not interested in modeling and has taken it just to earn her living.
It would be a treat to see Ranbir opposite a bedesi mem.

Send Me On Vacation provides much-needed vacations to breast cancer survivors who need to rejuvenate and heal their minds, bodies, and spirits. We empower survivors to reconnect with themselves on a rejuvenating vacation.
Send Me On Vacation provides much-needed vacations to breast cancer survivors who need to rejuvenate and heal their minds, bodies, and spirits. We empower survivors to reconnect with themselves on a rejuvenating vacation.
The organization's mantra of overcoming fear and fostering emotional fitness post treatment is supported by the concept of vacation rejuvenation transformation helps subdues the fear that is often associated with surviving the effects of breast cancer treatment. Supporting emotional fitness is a critical first step in the recovery from the devastating effects cancer leaves behind. Send On Me Vacation is affiliated with hospitals, cancer centers, and other non-profit organizations to support this cause and change the lives of survivors, one vacation at a time.
Each day in the United States, breast cancer claims 1500 lives. Our vision empowering survivors through healing vacations, and bringing a renewed sense of happiness with peace to those are economically disadvantage is our way of combating the negative emotional effects of the disease. Our recipients feel transformed from the positive effects that vacations bring to survivors and their families. Giving the gift of a vacation to survivors, changes lives and translates into acts of benevolence.
Send Me On Vacation believes involvement at the local level is the first step in providing programs that build stronger, healthier survivors in communities throughout the world. Local affiliations along with hospitals and cancer centers, support local initiatives that foster the continued involvement of community leaders and local survivors. All monies raised at local events stay with the community to benefit the health and wellness of local survivors that contributes to supporting ongoing programs.
Send Me On Vacation has been built around making life after treatment worth living. Women who have undergone chemo and radiation are in a fragile state. In most cases, they have had their identities as women stripped from them. This is what SMOV works to rebuild. We rely on events throughout the year that raise the much needed funds to support all of our programs and initiatives. It is essential for us to have new and continued involvement in Send Me On Vacation for us to help survivors. We cannot achieve "Our Vision" without the continued support of our sponsors at the local and national level.
