Shadow has spent the last three years in prison, biding his time, teaching himself coin tricks. He is waiting to be reunited with his beloved wife Laura, and planning to settle back into his old life working for his best friend Robbie. But Shadow's life is soon to change forever: he receives the news that he is being let out of prison early, but his wife Laura has died in a tragic car accident.
Travelling back to Eagle Point to attend his wife's funeral, Shadow meets the enigmatic Mr Wednesday who is keen to offer Shadow a job. Despite Shadow's initial reluctance Mr Wednesday, displaying uncanny and supernatural abilities, pursues him and eventually persuades him to accept the job: he is to transport Wednesday about the country, run errands for him and protect him from any potential dangers.
As Shadow unwittingly seals their bargain by drinking three rounds of mead, he is swept up in an adventure with Wednesday, a self-proclaimed hustler and Old God, the incarnation of the Norse All-Father Odin. Wednesday is on a mission to recruit other Old Gods for what he sees as the inevitable war brewing between the Old Gods and the New Gods.
These New Gods of television, radio, the internet, credit cards and various other facets of modern culture, hate the Old Gods and systematically hunt them down one by one. But Wednesday has a plan involving all the Old Gods from ancient pantheons, brought to America through the belief of immigrants travelling to the New Land hundreds of years ago: he wants them to unite in one desperate last stand. But finding these often forgotten Gods, whose power has diminished over the ages, is no easy task; persuading them to join Wednesday's cause is harder still.
Shadow and Wednesday set out on an epic road trip, taking in roadside attractions which Wednesday claims are great sources of power, and meeting Old Gods, culture heroes, leprechauns, dwarves, genies and gorgons from a multitude of pantheons. All the time they are fighting to stay ahead of the powerful New Gods, who have all of modern technology and belief on their side. And Shadow is searching for a way to bring his wife Laura back to life; she is not quite as dead as she should be.
Shadow's odyssey will also uncover the secrets of his own mysterious past, as he learns how to take gold from the sun's hoard, is granted the freedom of the moon, finally learns the identity of his father, and finds and loses his true name. His ultimate sacrifice on the World Tree reveals facts long disguised to him as he walks the path of Hard Truths and learns to be truly alive.

Hartland, Jessie Steve Jobs: Insanely Great, 216 pgs. Schwartz Wade Books, 2015 (Random House). $22.95 GRAPHIC NOVEL Content: Language: PG; Violence: G; Mature Content: PG.
Steve Jobs grew up in a home where he could tinker and invent his own projects. As he grew up he didn't love college and decided that he could make a personal computer that would be easy for the general population to use. His creative mind and striving for perfection led him to inventing the iPod and iPhone. He revolutionized technology.
This graphic novel is a creative and succinct biography of Steve Jobs. The book concentrates on his work with technology and not a lot of feelings and personal observations, but I feel like that made it unbiased. The pictures are in black and white and have a lot of details about the technology, but it's explained in a simplified way. The content is PG because there are three times when he uses expletives (#@!) and it eludes to his drug use after high school.

TITLE: How To Study The Bible
By Tonya Pope
Goal: For each person to be equipped to find solutions to problems, trials, and temptations, as well as to receive knowledge of the God they serve, and inspiration to encourage themselves in the Lord, instead of turning to "people" for the solutions to their problems and revelation. To equip each person to be dependant only on God, and not man.
Why should I study the Bible?
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)- "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth."
It is a command.
John 5:39 (NKJV)- "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me" (Jesus talking)
Acts 17:11 (NKJV)- "These were more fair minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness, and searched the scriptures DAILY to find out whether these things were so." (Emphasis added).
NOTE: this is for personal edification ONLY.
It is important for you to search the scriptures daily, not to look for error on the pastors part, because even the pastors are human. It is important to know if what you are hearing from the pulpit (any pulpit), or from your brother or sister, or what you are reading in that book or hearing on Christian Television, is correct. If you believe everything you hear, then you are gullible and you are also living in error.
With that being said, say the pastors teach something, then you go home and study it out, and perhaps you received a different revelation from it and you "perceive" that they are wrong….be VERY CAREFULL!!!!!
DANGER: 1 Corinthians 8:1 says "…knowledge puffs up, but love edifies."
It is very easy for pride to step in when you start obtaining knowledge…remember Satan fell because of being puffed up with pride. Keep a humble spirit about you if you do find error in a teaching, sermon, etc….
Basic guidelines that must be followed if you perceive that something someone teaches is incorrect:
1. Check to be sure that you don't have a critical spirit
2. Pray that God would either show them or show you the error of their own ways or your own ways on the subject.
3. Be Patient. God will reveal and the truth is always brought to light
4. DO NOT share you ideas or opinions with other brothers or sisters. This will cause division and confusion. God is not the author of confusion. You can easily cause others to stumble, and this gives place to the devil….again, this is for personal edification only
5. Regardless of what you have learned or had revelation of, the pastors always have the authority, and you must fall under that authority when dealing with situations or people involved with the church. Always operated under the authority of the leadership of the church regardless of what you believe. The pastors are the ones ultimately responsible for the doctrine of the church and for what is taught in the church.
Psalm 119:11 (NKJV)- "Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you."
Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)-"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)- "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for:
1. doctrine-that which is taught
2. reproof-act of censuring or rebuking
3. correction-punishment, chastisement, discipline
4. instruction in righteousness-knowledge or information in being morally right
Inspiration-thepneustos-"God breathed"
Profitable-beneficial or useful
Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)- "For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Powerful-energes (Strong's #1756)-energetic-denotes something at work, active, effective.
Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV)-The grass withers, and the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever"
Luke 21:33 (NKJV)-"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
The Word is something eternal. We spend so much time pursuing earthly pleasures. Studying the Word is something you can spend time doing and the benefits are eternal.
Pray Before You begin to Study:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for Your word that You have given me. I thank You that You loved me enough to give your word to me for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction. Lord, I thank You that You have sent Your Holy Spirit to lead, guide and teach me into all truth, for He is the Spirit of Truth. I thank you for the revelation that I will receive by studying Your Word. I thank you for a deeper relationship with You as I get to know You better through Your Word. I thank you for releasing on me a teachable spirit. I receive Your knowledge and Your wisdom that I will retain from studying Your Word. I bind the spirits of slumber, confusion, error, and manipulation of the Word from manifesting as I study today and as I meditate on the Word of God throughout the rest of the day.
All This I pray in the Name of Jesus and in the authority that has been delegated to me. Amen.
Tools for Basic Bible Study:
The following is a list of basic Bible Study Tools. They are helpful in getting the fullness of the Word, but are not necessary for every study. Use what you have. You can study with a simple Bible. If you have internet access, there is a link on www.gracefellowshipoutreach.com under the links page that access most of these tools as well.
1. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible by James Strong
2. Smith's Bible Dictionary by William Smith, L.L.D. (Includes important people and places of the Bible)
3. Dictionary (preferably an older larger version)
4. Thesaurus
5. Various types and versions of the Bible.
a. King James Version (KJV)
b. New King James Version (NKJV)
c. New Living Translation (NLT)
d. Amplified Bible (AMP)
e. New International Version (NIV)
f. More….
g. Spirit Filled Life Bible
h. Life Application
i. Nelson Study Bible
j. Thompson Chain
k. Macarthur Study Bible
l. Others…..
How to Use The Strong's Concordance:
The Strong's Concordance is a valuable tool for finding the original intended translation of a word as well as finding the scripture reference for a verse you may know, but don't know where it is.
1. Look up the word you want to study: for example love
2. There are hundreds of verses for this word, so find the scripture you want to look up. (For example: Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. We see it is found in Matthew 5:44.
3. To find out the meaning of the word love in this particular verse look to the reference column. There you will see a number (In this example 25)
4. Numbers in the reference column are coded: If it is a regular number standing straight up, you will look in the back of the Concordance to the Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary in which all Old Testament verses are originally translated from. If the number is in italics, you will look in the back of the Concordance to the Greek Dictionary of the New Testament. All New Testament verses are translated from Greek. (in our example, we have 25 in the Greek translated agapao which means to love (in a social or moral sense.
NOTE: not every word in the new testament that is translated love has this same meaning.
Different Ways to Study:
Studying the Bible can be as diverse as the individual doing the studying. Following are some examples of ways to study. It is not an exhaustive list. You may discover something for your self that works better than any of the listed examples.
1. Word Study
a. Look up verses on one subject: example-Word Study on love
b. Look up verses that use similar words: you can use a thesaurus to find words that would fit into your word study: example-love, passion, adore, desire, cherish
i. Define the word in English
ii. Define the word in it's original language
Find 3 types of Love in the Greek.
1. Strong's #5360________________________________________________________________
2. Strong's #5368________________________________________________________________
3. Strong's #26__________________________________________________________________
Using the Strong's you will learn Greek & Hebrew words and root words, which is good for deeper revelation during your everyday reading.
Compare the English Word with the original language Word to be sure that the English translation is correct as this may change (usually does) the way you interpret the verse.
Example: Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is the substance of things hoped Strong's # 1679 for…
We usually think of hoped as a wish or desire
Hoped (dictionary)-desire accompanied by expectation
Hope-(Strong's #1679)-elpizo from # 1680-to expect or confide
(Strong's #1680)-elpis-expectation or confidence
2. Name Study-Names & Places
Example: define the each of the 12 tribes of Israel (these are also the Sons of Jacob)
Example: Genesis 29:35-"And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now I will praise the Lord." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing"
Judah-(Strong's #3063)-Celebrate; praise
Judges 20:18-"Then the children of Israel arose and went up to the house of God to inquire of God. They said, "Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?" The Lord said, "Judah first!""
The revelation from studying this little bit about Judah is that Praise goes as the front lines in the battle against the enemy.
1) Look up Bethlehem: Strong's Number_______________
a. Definition:_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2) Look up Bethel: Strong's Number_____________
a. Definition:_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The names & places are very important because they give you a feeling of the atmosphere of the place or the personality of the person
3. Chapter or Verse Breakdown-Example 1 Corinthians 13 (see separate handout)
It's good to start with a comparative of 2 or more versions of the Bible. In my example, I used NKJV; AMP & NLT
Pick out the key words and dissect by defining the key words in the dictionary, Strong's, or a Bible Dictionary (if applicable)
*Strong's comes in KJV or NASB- be sure to have KJV Bible if you are using the KJV Strong's or NASB bible if you are using the NASB Strong's. You can compare words in the other versions to get the true meaning.
4. Reference Study-I call this the rabbit trail study, because if you are not careful, you will be off on many rabbit trails. This uses just a regular reference Bible.
Example: John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word a, and the b Word was c with God and the Word was d God.
a. 1 John 1:1______________________________________________________________________
b. Revelation 19:13 _________________________________________________________________
c. John 17:5 _______________________________________________________________________
d. 1 John 5:20 ______________________________________________________________________
You can also do historic and Cultural studies. However, it is important that you are led by the Holy Spirit when reading cultural and historic books, as it is very easy to become entangled in false doctrines.

€2million European Space Agency grant awarded to consortium
A consortium including ISTM's Professor Peter Ogrodnik have been awarded a €2million European Space Agency grant as a part of a consortium to establish a true, high integrity Internet of Things (IoT) solution for healthcare. This award has built on over 25 years' research conducted at Keele and the Royal Stoke University Hospital examining fracture healing. In the first instance they will be implementing an IoT solution for remote monitoring of broken tibiae (shins) post-operatively. This innovation could mean the end of repeated out-patient appointments and could also lead to measurable improvements in outcomes for the patient, the clinician and the healthcare provider. In addition, they will be reducing bed stays with an innovative IoT solution for the preoperative management of ankle fractures. The consortium brings together expertise from AT Kearney Ltd , SlamJam Ltd, Keele University, Oracle, and Intel.

Last Tuesday's "Heard Elsewhere" from The New York Times, "A cruel Republican budget," promotes a very irresponsible ethic, namely a "give me everything" attitude. The United States cannot continue in that way if we are to remain a successful long-term democracy.
While people in the middle class typically tend to believe in an altruistic, fair-play agenda, citizens are unable to continue living beyond their means indefinitely. I'm sorry, but if a person cannot afford good housing, medical care and enjoyable pastimes, then that person just should not have them.
Unfortunate circumstances dog some folks in every society, but humanity is unable to cope with subsequent potential overloads on our resources — it's that simple. The U.S. economy has been very wealthy since the end of World War II and our lifestyle has reflected appropriate social and private indulgences as a result. But times have radically changed in this country and the world. If we continue to follow a fiscal course that emulates places such as Greece, Spain and even Great Britain, it is over for us as an affluent and leading nation.
We need to wake up and "bite the bullet" using some self discipline. It is not all sunshine, candy and fun times out there. Let's be responsible adults when making economic and political choices for our own future's sake. Paul Ryan's proposal is a start, even if imperfect, and I do not care what political party he represents.

This is not worth spending any money on. It is just a project for fun.I have tried installing woody and sarge and can't get either to load right. I get farther with woody. Sarge complains about having read block errors while loading the kernel.
The Ethernet works fine. It is a problem with not finding the right files. I also have a Quadra 610 that I am going to try on today. Thanks, Tony

Safely in Germany!
The GoGrace Germany team has made it safely to Germany! Our flights went smoothly for the most part. Kip, Katelyn, Janell, Regina, Felicia, and Nate all arrived in Detroit just fine. Brittany was supposed to meet us in Detroit, but her flight was canceled. The airline gave her a direct flight to Paris and she ended up beating us there by 3 hours! The rest of us slept a little bit on the plane ride from Detroit to Paris, but not much.
In Paris we went back through security and the border crossing just fine. Janell left her coat on the airplane, (but got a great one for a great price here in Germany). We all ate some baguettes, cheese and meat for lunch in the airport, and then took a nap.
After our long layover in Paris, we boarded our flight to Stuttgart with everyone in tow. All of our luggage made it safely to Stuttgart. John Pappas picked us up at the airport. Janell and Felicia went with John and the luggage to the church. Kip, Katelyn, Brittany, Nate, and Regina all took a series of trains from Stuttgart to Aalen Germany! It was quite the adventure, and we made the train we wanted to catch (though there was some running involved). It was neat to see the train system and learn how to navigate the way.
John picked us up from the train depot in Aalen and we got together with everyone to eat dinner. It was a wonderful meal of bread, meat and cheese. The large soft pretzels were amazing! That night our host families came to get us and we headed home with them. I am staying with Regina and a young family from a neighboring village. they have 3 boys (ages 8-4) and a 2 year old daughter. We chatted with them a bit, but then took showers and headed to bed.
We were picked up this morning at 8am (Germany time) to go to the school system to participate in the English classes there. Regina, Brittany, and I all headed to a middle-school type of school while Nate, Felicia, and Janell headed to a college-prep type of school. The public school system is different than in the states with students staying in one room, and the teachers switch classrooms.
The teacher I had was really great! She was very friendly and nice. She managed the classroom superbly, and the students were very responsive. We were even introduced to ALL of the teachers at the school. They seemed really happy to have us there and the kids cheered when they heard we are coming back to their classes. We spoke to 5th and 7th grade classes. They asked good questions (nothing too hard). My favorite was they asked how many fast food restaurants there are in Indiana.
While Nate, Janell, and Felicia were at the school system, Katelyn, Regina, John Pappas, and Brittany all headed to the little downtown of Aalen. Today was one of the two fresh market days they have a week. The fresh produce and meat and cheese was very interesting. We didn't have our money with us, but we will be going back there sometime soon for a shopping trip. The others were able to explore a bit later too.
Right now we are just chilling out and taking naps (while I type this at the Pappas' house). Nate is going to basketball practice with John later and the rest of the group is going to dinner together.
Tonight there is German Bible study at the church at 8pm (our time).
Tomorrow we head out to our first "day off". We might go to this ancient walled city's ruins.

Ask a Doctor and Get an Answer to Your Medical Question ASAP
This is Dr. David
studies of healthy men with no symptoms show that testicular microlithiasis is much more common than is testicular cancer. As a result, researchers believe that testicular microlithiasis is unlikely to increase an otherwise healthy man's risk of testicular cancer
we don't know why some men get them and what causes them.
no, that would not damage the testicles or cause testicular microlithiasis.
don't stress or worry about that.
let me know if you have other questions.
if done, please leave positive feedback below.
we only get credit for helping clients after positive feedback.
thanks for using JustAnswer.com
yes, you are a healthy man age 26
and it doesn't sound like you have symptoms.
it depends on the symptoms
like you have a lump in your testicle or a testicular mass, you are more likely to have a testicular cancer.
a little more likely.
you seem really worried about having testicular cancer.
testicular cancer is not a common cancer.
I wouldn't let it scare you.
your chances of testicular cancer are still very very low.
it sounds like you have bad anxiety about this.
it sounds like you need to get some treatment to help decrease your anxiety symptoms
perhaps it might be best just to let your doctors do your testicular exams for you

Hunting (HTG)
By Lee Wild | Wed, 5th November 2014 - 13:42
A lot of bad news is certainly already in the price, and Hunting boss Dennis Proctor says there's been no impact on customer demand from weaker oil prices. Activity in North America has remained strong, too, and although business is slow in Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East have both been positive.
"With their own capital investment programme on track for completion in the next nine months Hunting is looking robust in these difficult markets and remains my pick of the UK quoted stocks, although the current market will not give them any credit for a while," writes oil industry expert Malcolm Graham-Wood.
Of course, the longer oil prices remain sub-$80, the greater the chance of an impact on Hunting, and, as Deutsche Bank notes, "this feels very much in the rear-view mirror with what had previously looked set to be an 'all guns blazing' 2015 now more uncertain given the recent oil price decline." It adds:
Gyrations in the macro/commodity complex will inevitably drive the next move in the shares but we continue to like Hunting for the long-term drivers of spend in core markets, self-help tail-winds in 2015-16 and attractive valuation (10.3x full-year 2015 PE). On lower earnings our DCF-based price target is cut to 900p; 30% upside. We hence retain our BUY rating. The key risk is further weakening in oil prices.
At 690p, Hunting shares trade on just 10 times earnings estimates for 2015. Proctor says the overall outlook for this year is in line with management's expectations, but analysts have trimmed price targets given a lack of visibility for 2015. If the current slump in oil prices proves short-lived, a forward multiple of 12 seems more appropriate, implying potential upside.

The Live Five interviews begin at 10:00AM this morning with Thanhha Lai, National Book Award and Newbery Honor winner for Inside Out and Back Again. (The whole schedule can be found here.) I think I'm ready–about fifty-four of the sixty questions I'll be asking this weekend are completed and I know the missing six will present themselves in time. Somebody asked me the other day how I picked the questions, and it's pretty simple: I read the author's book, maybe do a little web-surfing to peek into his or her life and previous books, and think about what I want to know. Nobody gets to see the questions in advance: while I would never ask a gotcha question in this context, I do like a little spontaneity. It's fun; you should come.
After a day in Disneyland with Deborah Stevenson of The Bulletin and Elizabeth Law of Egmont (favorite rides: It's a Small World and the nauseatingly named Soarin'), I went to a really lovely dinner hosted by Farrar for Jack Gantos in honor of his Scott O'Dell Award for Dead End in Norvelt (wait, did that win something else? I'll ask Jack this afternoon. Hey, only five to go!). Deborah was one of the judges so she was there, along with Pat Scales, Dean Schneider, Our Martha, and Lauren Gerber, Scott's granddaughter, who thrilled Jack no end when she told him her brother had in childhood acquired the nickname Ralph for his love of Rotten Ralph, which Scott had given him! I also decided that we should give Jack an award for being the Best Dressed Man in children's books, and I want to hire him as my personal shopper.
I'll be at booth #2234 all day and hope to see you there.

'This week will tell me if I can land Claret Jug' - Harrington
Harrington honing links game at Scottish Open ahead of return to venue that lit fuse for glory run
MUIRFIELD is where the penny first dropped for Padraig Harrington and the Dubliner discovered he really could win a Major.
So there could hardly be a better British Open venue for Harrington than the world-famous East Lothian links as he bids next week to restore his Major-winning credentials.
Remarkably, given the frustration Harrington has endured in five barren years on the US and European Tours, the 41-year-old's faith in his ability to prevail at golf's greatest championships remains strong. It shone as bright as the glaring summer sun over Inverness this week as Harrington prepared for today's first round of the Aberdeen Assets Management Scottish Open on the links at Castle Stuart.
Asked at what point during the build-up to the British Open might he know that he can challenge for and possibly win the Claret Jug, Harrington replied: "Sunday night here!
"If I finish up on Sunday content with my game, I know I can win next week," he added. "The last thing I want to be doing is walking away from this tournament trying to find something on Monday morning.
"You don't want to go through a Major trying to find it. It's been done but it's very rare. It's all about getting your work done and being content leading into the tournament the week before.
"For me, playing a tournament this week is the only way I can get a good indicator of the state of my game."
Harrington first acquired faith in his ability to win on golf's grand slam stage when the Open last visited Muirfield in 2002 and he finished fifth, just one tantalising stroke outside a four-man play-off which was won by Ernie Els.
Believing he needed birdie at the last to have any chance of winning, Harrington took driver off the final tee and paid for this act of aggression when his ball flew into a dreadful lie in the left fairway bunker, leading to bogey.
Yet with the frustration of that close call came new confidence in his ability to become only the second Irish golfer to win a Major. Harrington's breakthrough came at Carnoustie in 2007, 60 years after Fred Daly at Hoylake.
As he retained his Open title at Royal Birkdale in 2008 and followed up with a formidable PGA Championship victory at Oakland Hills three weeks later, it was clear that Harrington had found golf's Holy Grail.
Yet any hope of putting his knowledge, confidence and experience to the ultimate use late on Sunday afternoon at the Majors would be stymied first by some inopportune swing changes, then by the banning of box grooves from January 2010 and, in recent seasons, by a crippling loss of trust on the greens.
These days, the swing seems to be functioning well under the tutelage of coach Pete Cowen and, if Harrington consistently complains about his wedge play, at least his move to the belly putter, albeit controversial, has offered him some relief on the greens.
For sure, it has been five months since he last completed four consecutive sub-par rounds at a tournament. However, Castle Stuart, with its wide-open fairways, offers Harrington a relatively simple refresher course in seaside golf, giving him the perfect opportunity to go to the fairest Open venue of them all with his morale high.
Given this opportunity to play competitive links golf the week before the Open, it's surprising that only two of the world's top-20 players, Phil Mickelson and defending Open champion Ernie Els, have entered the Scottish Open.
Clearly, Graeme McDowell is not alone in his belief that Castle Stuart, despite its aesthetic appeal, is a little too "one-dimensional" and "wide-open off the tee" to serve as a decent pre-Open test. Like Rory McIlroy, McDowell took the chance this week to familiarise himself with Muirfield.
In all, 10 Irish golfers tee it up at Castle Stuart, with Shane Lowry, freed from the pressure of carrying the home nation's hopes into fifth place at the recent Irish Open, well fancied to do something special this weekend on a course he enjoys.
Tractor power drew Louis Oosthuizen all the way to Illinois for the John Deere Classic the weekend before the Open. While many Tour colleagues frequent Ferrari, Porsche or Lamborghini showrooms, Oosthuizen's automotive passion has always been for John Deere tractors.
The South African, a keen farmer, bought himself one after lifting the Claret Jug at St Andrews in 2010 and he has the latest John Deere model, the R450 Windrower, on order for his 150-acres spread back home.
Oosthuizen and his mum, no less, even took a giant combine harvester for a spin during a family visit this week to the manufacturer's plant in East Moline, not far from TPC Deere Run. Little wonder he's widely fancied to bring in the trophy this weekend!

Crack a WEP key!Very good Tuto ..
Student Computer Engineer-in SUPINFO Casablanca since 2009, Specialized Technician in computer systems and networks.
One of the biggest fanatics of new technologies, and one of Moroccan Geeks!
The BACKTRACK alone does not crack the WEP, you must also be ready on the network you want to crack, to accelerate the process of cracking,
The globalization of information and internet use, have secured a certain degree of freedom and independence, to create new concepts and new technologies that facilitate our daily lives are no longer dependent pc or cables to connect to internet and thanks to wifi.
The Wireless LAN (802.11) commonly called WiFi " Wireless Fidelity " is based on the OSI model, neglecting (more or less) the physical part because it uses radio waves instead of cables.
The wireless networks are exploding, they are installed in cafes, businesses, governments and even the neighbor and the neighborhood grocer! Some are accessible without protection (OPEN), others do not ... thus requiring a password or a hex key, implemented using protocols such protection WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK ....
Each protocol has strengths and weaknesses, and use of each protocol depends on the use and criticality of data transmitted over the network, for example: In a business, it is best to use WPA -PSK as it ensures a high level of protection than WEP, because it puts a lot of time cracking and requires the use of a dictionary.
WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy algorithm uses the stream cipher RC4 for confidentiality and the checksum CRC-32 to ensure integrity.
The 64-bit WEP uses an encryption key and a 40-bit initialization vector of 24 bits thus have a key 64-bit RC4.
128-bit version when it was, was seized as a result of 13 characters ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal. Each pair represents 8-bit hexadecimal WEP key. 8 * 13 = 104-bit initialization vector more than 24 bits.
For 256 bits, 24 bits are reserved for the initialization vector and 232-bit encryption key. This key is usually entered as a sequence of 58 hexadecimal symbols. (58 * 4 = 232 bits) + 24 = 256 bits.
The cracking of WEP:
The cracking of WEP password first by acquiring the necessary tools and be a good distance from the access point to accelerate the process of cracking.
The main tool needed is Aircrack-Ng available in the distribution BACKTRACK 4 and in all distributions safety, but also on Windows, provided your wireless card is compatible and allows the switch to Monitor mode.
Much of drivers for wireless cards on the market have been built on BACKTRACK, but they do not guarantee all the way in monitor mode as the case of the Broadcom BCM4310 used in the demonstration.
To remedy this problem, recompiling the kernel and upgrade to version 126.96.36.199 are needed.
In addition Aircrack-NG, the NG-AIRMoN which enables the monitor mode, airodump that retrieves packets and aireplay-NG q
ui can launch attacks and false authentication ARP-REQ/ACK are required (included by default in BACKTRACK.)
Ps: for owners of USB Wifi card Alfa036AH; monitoring mode automatically by running airodump.
Change "wifi0" with "wlan0" for wifi usb card Alfa036AH.
ex: airodump-ng-w-c 1-11 Lapampa wlan0
It scans the channels 1 to 11 for the French band
and without forgetting that we must be patient because sometimes even if the signal is equal to 0 or more (+), the packet recovery and cracking may take longer 3min (1 hour and even more!).
PWR column indicate the signal strength of each wireless access point (network!)
The first step in the process of cracking is to verify whether monitor mode running on the wireless card:
A new logical interface will be created under the name mon0.
Then the command will be launched Airodump to listen on the interface mon0 and detect available wireless networks.
Once launched, it will all networks available as follows
3-It opens a new shell, and you type the following command:
airodump-ng-c (channel)-w (file name)-bssid (bssid) (interface)
In our case, the order will be as follows:
airodump-ng-c 11-w-bssid 00:18:6 yasmina E: 08:06: BF mon0
The BSSID is the MAC address of access point (wireless router).
4-Once the capture command executed, the shell is left open and opening another, to make a false authentication on the router, you can launch another attack and that is paramount in the crack WEP.
To make a false authentication is simple:
aireplay-ng -1 0-a (bssid)-h (mac @ striker)-e (essid) (interface)
The command will look like this:
aireplay-ng -1 0-a 00:18:6 E: 08:06: BF-h 00:11:22:33:44:55-e cyber_yasmina mon0
0: the time between trying on failure of authentication.
-A: parameter to assign the BSSID (mac @ router)
-H parameter to assign the @ mac striker so it can be authenticated.
-E: parameter to assign the network name.
If you have ' Successful association "with the little smiley, it means that you are authenticated on the router.
After 5-counterfeit authentication, another command must be run to query and receive the ARP ARP-ACK.
aireplay-ng -3-b (bssid)-h (mac @ the attacker) (interface)
The command looks like this:
aireplay-ng -3-b 00:18:6 E: 08:06: BF-h 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0
-3: ID ARP attack.
-B: parameter to assign the BSSID (mac @ router)
-H parameter to assign the @ mac striker so it can be authenticated.
6-We return to Shell or have been executed capture packets, you will notice that the Data column increments.
The value of this column is very important because it reflects the number of captured packets, because it usually takes 10000ARP to crack a WEP 64,
more than 40000 for a key 128 and over 100000 for a WEP 256
7-Once the required packages captured, the cracking can be done.
For this we will use the file or are captured Yasmina data Airodump USING command and will have the extension. Cap
aircrack-ng-b (bssid) (file-name 01.cap)
control necessary in our case will be:
aircrack-ng-b 00:18:6 E: 08:06: BF-yasmina 01.cap
t only remains to copy the key without a colon (:) and pasted into the password prompt when connecting to the network.

What is a Development Environment? Why do we need one in order to develop a Drupal website? What are the requirements for you to start developing for Drupal? Why Drupal instead of Wordpress or Joomla? I try to answer all those questions on this introductory video.
Following is a transcription of this video:
This video series was created to help you setup a Development Environment on your local computer so you can safely try the Drupal CMS.
But, before we go any further, we need to discuss the reasons behind the need for a Development Environment.
In the past, if a webmaster needed to make a change to his website, he would log into his Web Server and edit the HTML right there. Once he had saved the changes, the live website would reflect those changes right away!
Things have gotten much more complicated since those early days of "FrontPage Extensions". In the past a website was viewed as no more than a brochure to help promote real brick & mortar businesses. Today, websites are astronomically more complex and, most importantly, they have become more critical for their owners. Downtime on a website can literary translate into financial losses.
The complexity and importance of today's websites is what generated the need for a Development Environment where changes can be safely tried and tested.
What we will be setting up here is a "Drupal Development Environment"!
Drupal is a Content Management System or CMS for short. A CMS is like a full fledged sophisticated website in a box. When a web developer uses a CMS to create a new website, he avoids the more mundane tasks that would take him months to create on his own.
Now a days, a web developer doesn't have to spend time and effort designing a website from the round up. His job now is to customize a plain CMS website so it meets the specific needs and tastes of his clients.
But, why Drupal?
That's a relevant question. Drupal is just one of may options for CMSs.
If you did your homework, you may have heard of Wordpress or Joomla! Drupal, however, is the most promising open source project in its category.
Drupal is gaining tremendous momentum on the last few years and all the hype around this CMS is well founded.
The largest companies around the world have been adopting Drupal as their CMS of choice. Just to mention a few examples of Drupal websites:
Intel, the famous chip maker, has adopted Drupal as their CMS. Check them out at http://www.intel.com
The Universal Music Label website was built around the Drupal CMS. Their website is at http://www.UniversalMusic.com
Drupal has been adopted by the Sony/RCA Music Label to create websites for all their artists!
The 20th Century FOX Movie Studio uses Drupal. Their website is at:
The Emmy Television Awards website was designed in Drupal. Their website is at:
Every year the Grammy Music Awards website receives massive traffic when they announce the nominees!
It is no surprise that they have chosen Drupal as their CMS.
Their website is at:
Also, The White House adopted Drupal as the platform for their website.
The last few website examples clearly illustrate Drupal's level of performance on high traffic environments.
It also illustrate how much Drupal is trusted when it comes to security.
You, as a web developer, may be facing a crossroad in your career. Deciding where you will invest your future as a developer is a serious matter. You don't want to invest your time and effort familiarizing yourself with a CMS that will become obsolete.
If you are planning on betting your future as a web developer on Drupal, I would venture say that the odds are in your favor.
There is no question that today's web development world demands the use of some sort of CMS and I hope that I was successful in making a case for using Drupal as your CMS.
Now is time to talk about the requirement for having Drupal running locally.
Not only Drupal but most popular CMSs are dependent on what is called an AMP.
What is the AMP?
AMP is an acronym that stands for Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
In order for us to set up an AMP on our local computer, we will go through 5 steps.
- Install a Virtual PC
- Install Linux
- Install the Apache web server
- Enable PHP on Apache
- Install a MySQL Database Server
But we will go much farther than that. We will go over the applications that you will be using to create your website.
Here is a list of the applications that we will be talking about:
- You should have an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) so you can create your own Drupal Modules & Themes in PHP.
- You will need a Version Control System. We will install GIT.
- You will need Graphic Editing tools such as Gimp, Inkscape, and Blender 3D
- You will need some sort of Office Suit. LibreOffice is my choice.
This will be taken care of on our next video...

An Oak Creek Town Board member says he was the victim of a false accusation after hate crime charges stemming from a dispute were dropped. Bernard Gagne Jr. said in a statement Thursday it was an easy accusation to make and a hard accusation to dismiss. Gagne was arrested in September following an altercation and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment. He was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation, 48 hours of community service and $570 in fines and court costs. According to authorities, a 17-year-old boy said he was threatened while leaving a store and alleged racial threats were made after Gagne hit him.
Illegal immigrants would be eligible to get Colorado driver's licenses under a bill Democrats plan to introduce next week. Only a handful of states in the country allow licenses for illegal immigrants. New Mexico and Washington allow illegal immigrants to obtain the same driver licenses as U.S. citizens. Utah grants immigrants a driving permit that can't be used for identification. Colorado Democratic Sendator Jessie Ulibarri, the sponsor of the bill, says illegal immigrants are already on the roads and it would be better to have them licensed and insured. The bill will be unveiled Monday. Immigrants would have to prove they're paying state and federal taxes and have an identification card from their country to qualify. Republican Senator Kent Lambert argues the proposal would violate federal immigration law.
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment says the state's unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent in February from January's 7.3 percent. The last time the Colorado unemployment rate was this low was in 2009. According to the department, the largest gains were in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, trade, transportation and utilities. The agency said Friday that employers in Colorado reported 10,800 more nonfarm payroll jobs from January to February for a total of 2.35 million jobs. During the same period, the national unemployment rate dropped two-tenths of a percentage point to 7.7 percent.
The Environmental Protection Agency has come up with a proposed new rule that will increase the restrictions on vehicle pollution. The proposed "Tier 3" Motor Vehicle Standard and Low Sulfur Gasoline Rule would lower the sulfur content in gasoline and create a health-protective pollution standard for new vehicles. The EPA estimates that the annual public health benefits stemming from the rule will be upwards of $20 billion by 2030. The proposal will require a reduction in the amount of sulfur in gasoline to 10 parts per million from the current standard of 30 parts per million. The draft rule includes flexibility for the regulated community, including a three-year delay for small refiners, rewards for businesses who act early to reduce sulfur and a trading program for pollution credits.
The Routt County Council on Aging and the City of Steamboat Springs Parks and Recreation Senior Programs invite spellers of all ages to participate in the third annual Community Spelling Bee April 6th. Proceeds from the event will benefit senior services in Routt County. Laura Schmidt, Routt County Council on Aging's executive director, says the goal is to get the community involved with seniors, and to provide a fun family event. Each team of three spellers must have at least one member 60 or older. Prizes will be awarded to the winning spellers and for best team costume. The community is welcome to watch the event. There is no admission fee for spectators, but donations will be accepted at the door. The registration fee is $60. Proceeds from the 2012 Bee funded the Bee Bop Senior Dance and Potluck in February. Proceeds from the 2013 Bee will fund a similar event. The Spelling Bee will be held April 6th from 2 to 4 at the Steamboat Community Center.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Friday announced that USDA is seeking applications to provide assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Funding is available from USDA's Rural Energy for America Program, or REAP. The announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy. REAP, authorized by the Farm Bill of 2008, is designed to help agricultural producers and rural small businesses reduce energy costs and consumption and help meet the Nation's critical energy needs. USDA is accepting applications for renewable energy system and energy efficiency improvement grant applications and combination grant and guaranteed loan applications until April 30, 2013; renewable energy system and energy efficiency improvement guaranteed loan only applications until July 15, 2013; and renewable energy system feasibility study grant applications through April 30, 2013. More information on how to apply for funding is available by clicking here.
Farmers around the country collectively intend to plant more corn this year, but growers in dry Colorado are holding back. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's spring planting survey showed U.S. farmers intend to plant 97.3 million acres of corn this year, which would be the most since 1936. Agriculture officials said Thursday that Colorado farmers only intend to plant an estimated 1.25 million acres of corn, which is 12 percent below their plantings last year. The U.S. Drought Monitor shows all of Colorado is experiencing some level of drought. A large portion of southeastern Colorado is experiencing exceptional drought, which is considered the most extreme condition on the U.S. Drought Monitor's five-level scale. Statewide mountain snowpack was 78 percent of average as of Thursday.

Riccardo Montolivo and Radja Nainggolan are reportedly being monitored by Juventus ahead of the January transfer window.
The Old Lady are expected to make some changes to their squad after Christmas, with a new midfielder a possibility.
Now that boss Antonio Conte favours the simultaneous use of Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio, he's keen on boosting his midfield options.
According to Tuttosport, Montolivo is a man that the Old Lady are seriously looking at given his situation at Fiorentina.
The Italian international is only contracted to the Viola until June 2012, so he could leave for a nominal fee in January or on a Bosman free in the summer.
Meanwhile, the Gazzetta dello Sport is suggesting that Cagliari's Nainggolan, 23, may be a possible target for the Bianconeri as well.
Milan are also understood to be interested in the two players.

As requested, i am writing to clarify the principal reason why i object to the RAND patented-standards proposal. The issue is clear. By allowing patented technologies into standards, without an unequivocal and unlimited free license to accompany use of these patented technologies, free software/open source developers like myself are effectively locked out of using that standard. There is no such thing as 'Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory' licensing, because that is an oxymoron. If i don't have $5000 to license a standard, i cannot employ that standard in my work. This is no problem for big companies like Apple, Microsoft and HP, who can simply not pay and tie the issue up in court for years if they like. Or they can pay and it won't even make a dent in the bottom line. Neither of these things are possible for the independent or open-source developer, so how is this either reasonable or non-discriminatory? The 'World Wide Web' is precisely that, and by the looks of things it is only a few large U.S comapnies who are trying to dictate the future of web standards. At the very least, this raises large issues with respect to international issues. i.e. Software patents are not legal in many countries. Does this mean that developers in China can employ your standards royalty-free, but developers in the U.S cannot? How is this Non-Discriminatory? By adopting fee-based licensing for W3C standards, you are locking people out from contributing to the construction of the world wide web. Open-Source developers cannot use fee-based standards, since their software does not generate revenue, nor is it licensed on an individual basis, and it is licensed to encourage third parties to modify and distribute it, often without the original authors knowledge. You are locking people out from viewing the world wide web. People who are too poor to afford the latest copy of Windows XS with it's browser capable of viewing these fee-based content types will be locked out of viewing that content. There will be no alternative, since Free programs will legally prevented from supporting these standards. This is, to me, perfectly acceptable for proprietary standards, but in no way is it appropriate for the W3C to endorse such practices. You are driving the world wide web into the hands of the few companies with the biggest legal teams, deepest pockets and strongest drive to stamp out any competition. In summary, i specifically reject the notion that any fee-based licensing for W3C standards is either Reasonable or Non-Discriminatory, and ask that if the W3C resolve to include patented technologies, they ensure that such technologies are licensed royalty-free and non-exclusively.

Reconstructions of Urban Anthropology
Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes... The entanglements of cities with overwhelming earthly forces often end up with vast reconstruction processes - reconstructions based on new problematizations regarding what the urban cosmos is made of and the entities and forces that need to be taken into account and rearranged. To the extent that it captures a reflexive and recursive mode of constructing the city, the value of reconstruction as an urban anthropological concept extends well beyond post-disaster situations. Tourism, noise abatement policies, smart city projects, to name some random examples, they are all attempts at reflexively refiguring and reconstructing the urban, semiotic-material orderings based on the articulation of urban problems, knowledges and values. Accordingly, urban anthropology itself can be understood as an epistemo-political project of articulating urban experiences, as a form of situated concept work and writing that reconstruct cities in a recursive manner.

Hope for Christmas
I started this blog about three years ago because I felt that I had some unique experiences that few others had. For awhile I wrote about them even though it made some uncomfortable but the feedback I received spurred me on...so today...as my heart breaks....I write on.
When I became a parent for the first time I was overwhelmed, overjoyed...and amazed that I and m husband made such a perfect little human being....parent hood was nothing that I thought it would be and everything I never imagined....I am blessed to be a Mom...beyond words....truly blessed.
In my parenting I have learned that all of our children are different and between my husband and myself we have four children....they all have completely different personalities and talents, strengths and weaknesses and the balance of knowing how to deal with them makes me feel at times that I'm orchestrating several freight trains at once just waiting for them all to crash....and right now we have one that is off the tracks....and it breaks our hearts....and our family is broken....and we sit in silence...because it's easier to keep the pain to ourselves than announce it to the world. To say that you have a problem in your family means that you set yourself up to be judged...we don't really feel like being judged right now. It mans that people that have never been through the pain you are going through like to give unwanted advice...it means that people pull their kids from your kids that haven't gone off the tracks because they might spread that"off track gene" to their kid and well we just can't have that. It means that we are not perfect...it means we have a front row seat to either a "God sized" miracle or a crushing blow....it means you find out who your real friends are. It means you learn how to pray like never before. It means your way harder on your other kids still riding the rails...it means you cry a lot, it means you don't allow yourself to look at pictures, or sit still long enough. It means you freeze time and scrutinize every decision you ever made or said to that child....it means you learn to let go...to let God in....to have Him hold you...because you can't sleep, can't feel, can't get through the day unless you give to Him all day L ONG say...I give you my children...the ones that run to you and the ones that run from you....and you never look at those parents that children ran from them the same way again....you never say " it can't happen in our family." Because it can....we are all capable of running....
Appreciate your prayers as we await how this story unfolds....

I'm sorry you and your family are experiencing a difficult time right now :( I totally agree, that no one truly understands unless they walk a mile in your shoes. Prayers to give you strength and peace during this time and during the holiday season.ReplyDelete
I've been out of touch--ReplyDelete
I can't say that I know how you feel-- , each family is different, each experience and each child is different. Is there ever a time when we feel like being judged? I think for me-- when I experienced trials with our kids or his kids-- just like you said "it is easier to keep (it) to our selves than 'announce it to the world'.
I am just reading this 5 months to the day you posted it...
I am praying for your family today.
The grace of the LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Herbie Goes Street Legal Character descriptions
Sean: awkward and clumsy at first glance, he has yet to discover who he really is, but Herbie is going to show him where he belongs. He has medium length dirty blonde hair with blue-gray eyes. He is about 5'9" with an average build. He tries to hide his feelings as best as he can, but they usually slip through. He is basically everybody's favorite loser. He undeniably has a huge crush on Katie. He usually wears designer blue jeans, a red T-shirt, and blue sneakers.
Katie: a flower of beauty. A bit on the short side at 5'3", but she makes up for it with sweetness and tons of energy. She is Trilf High School's head cheerleader. She got into cars because her boyfriend, Brad, pushed it on her. Her relationship with Brad is questionable as it seems she doesn't return his affections. Her shoulder length Blonde hair with brown highlights, her bright blue eyes, and her shapely figure drives guys wild, but she is in no way a slut. She likes to tease and flirt, which gets on Brad's nerves, which is probably why she does it. She usually wears a dark blue plaid miniskirt, a pink T-shirt and a dark blue zip up hoodie and sneakers.
Brittany (appears in chapter 2): another beautiful cheerleader like Katie. She is Katie's best friend and revolves around Katie like a satellite, doing whatever Katie does. When Katie got her Lancia into drifting, Brittany followed suit by buying a 2003 Mazda Miata and drifted that as well. Unlike Katie, however, she seems to harbor a deep love of racing. If it wasn't for her hair and face, she would look like Katie's sister. She has shoulder length light brown hair with blonde highlights and deep green eyes. She usually wears dark blue sweat pants, a white T-shirt and a medium blue hoodie and sneakers.
Jessica (appears in Chapter 2): a fiery blonde, blue-eyed Goth. Jessica is of the Wichen religion and considers herself a real life witch. Despite being a witch, she is one of the friendliest Goths you'll ever meet. Despite being friendly, you wouldn't want to get on her bad side as the last person to do that ended up in the hospital for 2 months with a curse put on him. She comes from a rich family and started drifting to give herself something different to do on weekends instead of practicing her spells. She went with her gut instinct when picking her drift car, a black and red 2007 Saturn Sky Redline. She usually wears black slacks or black hip-hugger jeans, with a black and red T-shirt and black combat boots. She sets herself apart from the ditsy Blondes at her school by having red highlights in her hair, which is always tied in a ponytail, as well as the Goth image.
Jake (appears in Chapter 2): a cool black kid with looks similar to Corbin Bleu. He joined drifting to add a little flash and style to the sport. His baby is his drift car, which Jessica bought for him as a token of love. He drives a red 2007 VW Golf R32 with a rear-wheel drive conversion. When he's not at the arcade dancing to "Dance Dance Revolution", or sleeping in school, he's polishing, racing, or shopping for parts for his VDub. He usually wears a red long sleeve shirt, dark blue jeans, and black sneakers.
Brad: Katie's jealous boyfriend. He revolves around Katie and tries to cater to her every whim, but she's not interested. When he's not keeping tabs on Katie, he's tinkering with his white 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo Z34. Katie has even said that one of the reasons she started drifting was to do something he could never do with his front wheel drive Monte Carlo. He constantly tries to prove to everyone that his car deserves the title of "muscle car", but no one ever gives him or his car the respect they deserve. He has short brown hair gelled into spikes with amber colored eyes. He usually wears a white T-shirt, a white zip up hoodie, dark blue jeans, and black sneakers.
Herbie: a 1963 VW Bug. He is pearl white with a dark gray ragtop sunroof, red, white, and blue racing stripes, and the racing number "53". He loves mischief, racing, and playing matchmaker. Nobody ever believes he is alive at first until after they've been around him long enough. Herbie is in love with Giselle.
Giselle: a 1976 Lancia Scorpion. She is powder blue with yellow and white racing stripes and the racing number "7". She is a ragtop convertible and has flip up headlights that have what looks like imitation eyelashes on her headlights. She tries to serve Katie the best she can and hasn't revealed that she's alive and has a mind of her own yet. She loves Herbie but doesn't feel he belongs in drifting.

Michelle Dockery 'got over' Downton Abbey with work
Apple| |
Michelle Dockery "got over" 'Downton Abbey' by throwing herself into her work.
The 34-year-old actress played Lady Mary Crawley in the British television drama for six years until it ended in 2015 and admits the only way she could get over the heartache of it ending was to sign up to two other shows.
She said: "I couldn't refuse 'Good Behaviour'. It came soon after we wrapped on Downton Abbey. I got over missing Downton by going on to something else as quickly as possible.
"You're only as good as your last job. It was about finding something that you're really connected to, I was very lucky with this."
And Michelle is currently busy working in the United States but will return to the United Kingdom before the year is out.
Asked what the differences are between the acting industry in the UK and the US, she told Newsweek: "I think the most obvious thing is it's a bigger place. There's a lot of work happening in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and now the Carolinas.
"There's just more work because it's a bigger place and more people. I'd like to see it the other way around; There's plenty of American actors I've been working with that could play Brits."
Meanwhile, Michelle previously insisted she hasn't ruled out starring in a 'Downton Abbey' movie if it ever goes ahead.
She shared: "'Downton Abbey' was an incredible journey for six years and we were very sad to say goodbye, but it was the right time and it was very exciting actually leaving and going on to something like this and a whole new path in my career.
"The thing that I miss the most are my cast members. But we are all still very close. I think there is potential for a film. That is something I would wholeheartedly consider, so we will see. It may not be over yet."

The largest solar farm in the UK will be created near Market Rasen after getting the go ahead from planners.
West Lindsey District Council has granted planning permission for a 50MW solar park on the site of the former RAF Faldingworth base.
The project will see 196,000 south-facing solar modules installed across 150 hectares.
When completed, the project is anticipated to share the title of the largest solar farm development in the UK.
The potential solar farm site is situated on flat brownfield land which is well-screened, making it ideal for PV development according to planning and design consultancy Barton Willmore.
The developer of the site, Lunar Energy, predicts that the 50MW solar farm will generate enough electricity to power over 12,000 homes – mitigating the emission of 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over the project's lifetime of 30 years.
Chris Collett of Barton Willmore said: "This under-utilised former airfield was an ideal site for solar energy because of the topography and limited visual impact. By providing clean energy to more than 10,000 homes it will make a significant contribution to reducing carbon emissions in Lincolnshire.
"We currently have relatively few large photovoltaic operations in the UK. This solar park marks another step towards the UK's aim of having 15% of all energy generated from renewables by 2020, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by moving to a low-carbon economy."
RAF Faldingworth was used during the Second World War by Number 300 (Polish) Squadron. Before it was decommissioned in 1972, the base was used to store nuclear weapons.

Richard Marsh • Edinburgh • 22 Aug 2011
It's a beautiful piece. You get given a scone and jam and mug of tea when you arrive, then a great show. Just sitting in the allotments (a short walk out of town near Inverleith) is a wonderful break from the ticket stubs and plastic pints of the fringe.
On the way back, we walked past some swans.
A friend of mine, Jamie Douglas used to do this joke:
A male swan can break a female swan's neck with one blow of his wing.
A female swan can break a male swan's heart with just a look.
He gave up stand-up. I wish he hadn't.
STOP PRESS: Jamie has informed me I've got this wrong. It wasn't his joke, just a favourite joke of his. The joke was in fact Harry Hill's. Sorry, Harry.
We then passed some ducks. They can tuck their heads into their own feathery necks, which would come in handy on the Royal Mile.

You really DO think we're stupid, don't you?
Or did your high-priced marketing experts miss the fact that if you are selling over-sugared deep-fried confections as an actual meal...and you are featuring your coffee...
...just a thought here...
...maybe focusing an ad around the phrase "helping you clean up after an all-night blow-out" isn't the most savvy marketing decision ever.
Hint: I write good copy and I work cheap. Call me. And yes, my grammar and spelling ARE better when I am getting paid.
I've been developing detailed descriptions of how to do the Kung fu techniques that I teach my students. I write them down into study guides to help their parents double-check and be sure that they are doing it right.
I created two study guides this weekend while I was up visiting my folks, working in the car to use my time wisely.
Then I got home and Rocky found that the server had crashed. So he (being the efficient, hard-working guy that he is) restored from the last back-up.
And when I connected my computer to the network it auto-synced (Rocky is efficient and hard-working, did I mention that? And thoughtfully set my computer up to auto-sync everytime I connect and disconnect to the network. It has saved me numerous days worth of work over the years).
Naturally, when my computer synced THIS time...it found that the two study guides I created over the weekend had been "deleted" from the server...so...it "synced" that action on my computer.
I would like to say, for the record, however, that I am NOT complaining about having a competent, hard-working, thoughtful computer genius who thinks ahead and takes great pains to set things up so that I can have all of my work backed up and updated continuously without having to lift an extra finger to do so.
That would be dumb. All of these things have added up to saving me many times more work than the few pages I lost.
Mostly, I'm grumpy because my dishwasher is broken, my car has been in the shop three times in the last week (to the tun of a couple of grand), my dog is obsessed with eating my headscarves, and now my computer ate my homework!
Oh, and I got a nose-bleed at kung Fu tonight.
I'm going to try something new here, If you want to participate, there are a few rules. If you don't want to participate, you can just follow along. If nobody participates, I won't try this again.
I will ask a question. You get one chance to answer it on this thread. One. Nobody can argue with it on this thread. This thread is only for stating your thesis in answer to the question based on your experience, any research you do, and your personal thought process. Each comment is a sort of mini-post on the part of the person posting it. Do not respond to another person's comment. Just make your own. In one week, I will open up a discussion thread on this topic. Take your time. Make it your best effort you can put into it over the week. Then you can get your fight on if you would like, when I post the discussion thread.
Question: What definative measure should be used to determine "personhood" in society? By what measure(s) should personhood be legally acknowledged by society, and by what measure should it be removed? Do you have any theological, philosophical,historical, legal or medical support for your assertion? Does your definition necessitate any caveats, modifications or accomedations for certain states of being? You don't have to address them here, but simply identifying them will help for clarity.
Reminder: No multiple comments. No comments on other people's comments. No argueing. There will be time for that later. Stay focused. Don't get distracted. Bring your own personal knowledge, perspective and expertise to the table.I reserve the right to delete frivelous posts, multiple posts, posts that are obviously intended to disrupt or subvert the intent of the exercise, and also trolls and such. Not that I expect anything of the sort, but you know how it is. Other than that, only participate if you think this will be fun!
I'm always happy to help out a friend when they ask that question...but I like it even better when they also offer $$$$. And when it puts me in touch with a business that might need to hire me in the future...it doesn't get any better than that.
Ever get depressed about the future? Ever find yourself sighing and muttering dispiritedly about "kids these days?"
I've got the cure: Go here and read some of the entries at this blog.
Ben at EclecticsAnonymous did a profile on this smart, thoughtful, tough-minded young lady. You can read that too.
Read "Say 'HI' to Freckles"
I'm adding her to my blogroll as well. Please go read. You will be glad you did.
