About this creation
Here it is, the next installment of the Apocalego series:
Well we got away from the zombies, but found ourselves in almost greater danger.
We were walking along and heard gunshots. We tried to steer away, but somehow got caught in the middle of a gang fight.
I remembered then. There weren't any zombies in this area of the city; the gangs owned it.
We ran trying not to get hit in the crossfire. We heard someone from the left side of the road shout: "Black sleeves! He's with them!". I knew they were either talking about Austin or Jack, And I was willing to bet it was Austin.
I heard a shout coming from right side of the road: "Over here!" We skidded to a halt, and ran through a cleared area in the rubble. There was a dead body to the left of the "door".
"Stay down!" the same voice called. We dropped to the ground, and waited for further instructions.
I started having second thoughts after that. Our running to the cover was mostly instinctual, I hadn't even thought about who was calling to us.
When the voice told us it was clear to stand up, if we stayed behind cover, we saw who had been talking to us. It was a man who I would estimate to be in his mid-twenties. He had shoulder-length light brown hair, and wore a tan vest with a black shirt underneath.
He said his name was Elliot, and he was a member of the gang "The Shadows". They all wore black sleeves as a gang sign, which is why the opposing side attacked us after seeing Austin's black shirt.
He told us how there were skirmishes-and full blown battles-between his gang and "The Bashers" all over gang populated areas of the city.
He could get us out of the area, if we helped him defeat the last few people in the building across from us. I consulted the others and we decided it would probably be the best decision. After all we didn't know what these people would do to us if we refused.
I told him we would help him, on the condition he and his gang help us protect Austin. He agreed.
We prepared to rush the building on the count of three. We tensed waiting for the signal.
As soon as Elliot's tongue spat out the word "three", we were off, running like professional joggers.
We shot the last two remaining men at the hole they were looking out of.
We clambered inside, and saw a man who had lost his hand to a bullet. He gasped through clenched teeth: "Spare…me….Please…".
Elliot shot him in the chest, ending his misery, not thinking twice about his actions.
I stared at the dead mans body in shock. I sputtered "Why…Why did…". Elliot asked me if I had something to say. I shook my head.
We found the stairs to the next level. We disposed of any opposition we met.
We finally got to the roof. There we found a man with a LMG. He fired at us, catching one man in the leg. He went down without a noise, save for a gasp of shock and pain.
Me and John shot at the same time, blowing a hole through the man's chest. He tripped over some sandbags, and fell to the hard pavement below.
"That's the last of 'em." called Elliot, As he bandaged his hit teammates leg. The other man who wasn't injured, gathered up the sandbags, and brought an injured sniper inside, so they could interrogate him.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I had had enough killing for one day. Humans are different from zombies. For one thing, zombies are already dead. For another you don't see the light leave their eyes.
When we got back down to street level, Elliot told us to follow him.
We got out of the area without incident, but suddenly Elliot started looking uneasy…
He asked us in a whisper: "Can I come with you?" When I asked him why, he said, "I never wanted to be in a gang. They blackmailed me into it. They told me I had to be in the group, or they'd shoot me. What would you do?"
I thought about his plight. I thought how I would feel if I was blackmailed into killing people. I had seen how Elliot shot that helpless man, and had been repulsed. But I realized he did it so HE wouldn't be killed.
And I agreed to let him come with us.
Well that's that, and I have Apocalego 5 out of the way (Finally). I should have some other stuff up soon, and expect a contest.
Just wanted to show off some detail that didn't make it into the comic. This is a broken filing cabinet on the second floor. Note the letter, and manila folders.
Until next time...

Since the earliest days of mass media, researchers, social critics, politicians, and the general public have been concerned about the extent to which media representations reflect or deviate from "reality." Over the years, a great deal of research and public debate have revolved around the kinds of images of the world that are created and disseminated by media, and how they compare to the "real world" as revealed by official statistics or other objective indicators (→ Media and Perceptions of Reality ). The first problem research in this tradition must confront is the question of what constitutes "reality," which is a topic of longstanding philosophical deliberation. Similarly complex is the question of how – and even whether – we can comprehend reality. Many theorists argue that humans construct what is perceived (and treated) as reality through social, cultural, and psychological mechanisms and structures. In a sense, this reflects Shakespeare's notion in Hamlet that "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" (act II, scene ii). Berger & Luckman (1966) argued that reality is knowable only as a mediated phenomenon, and that this is always ultimately a social process. Through intersubjectivity, we share a sense of "everyday reality" with others, but this is socially and culturally constructed (→ Constructivism ). There is thus a fundamental debate ... log in or subscribe to read full text

Liquid Tension Experiment
"Liquid Tension Experiment" is an instrumental rock project consisting of Dream Theater members John Petrucci (guitar), Jordan Rudess (keyboard), and Mike Portnoy (drums), as well as progressive rock icon Tony Levin (bass, Chapman Stick). The combo was formed as a side project to Dream Theater in 1998. Though some theorise that Rudess was asked to join Dream Theater largely because of the success of Liquid Tension Experiment, he had already declined a previous offer to join in 1994 and instead became a member of the Dixie Dregs. The band played fast, fusion-based pieces similar to those of Dream Theater, if somewhat more jazzy, and devoid of vocals.
Liquid Tension Experiment
Liquid Tension Experiment released two albums, ''Liquid Tension Experiment'' (1998) and ''Liquid Tension Experiment 2'' (1999) on Magna Carta records. They also played a few live shows in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Mike Portnoy has stated in numerous interviews (and on his http://www.mikeportnoy.com/about/mpfaq/default.asp?fldAuto=1&menu=about web site FAQ) that there will not be a third LTE album, as 3/4 of the band is in the current Dream Theater line-up. However, several songs and riffs have been incorporated int...

A biosecurity officer checking a shipment of basmati rice for pests has helped foil an international drug syndicate.
A Melbourne agriculture department officer inspected a shipment of rice arriving from India in July and noticed the powder in the bags was not the normal rice residue.
It turned out to be 274kg of ephedrine mixed throughout the 3,600 bags of rice.
The third biggest seizure of ephedrine in Australia, it could have been used to make 200kg of crystal methamphetamine with a street value of up to $200m.
The discovery led to the arrest of two Canadians and an Australian in Sydney and Melbourne this week.
An Indian man has also been arrested in India, allegedly responsible for organising the drugs and sending the shipment to Australia.
Investigations are continuing and police expect more arrests.
Commander Ian McCartney, the Australian federal police's national manager of crime operations, said the seizure was a great result for law enforcement in Australia.
"This is a sophisticated, organised crime syndicate," he said in Canberra on Wednesday.
The operation showed the success of Australian agencies working together, as well as with their international counterparts, he said.
The operation began on 16 July with the arrival of the shipment of bags labelled "basmati rice".
"The officer who did the inspection was really on the ball," the agriculture department assistant secretary Tim Chapman said.
"He realised that the powder in the bags of rice that were tested wasn't just residue from the rice. There was something different about it."
The powder was referred to customs for further testing, which confirmed it was ephedrine.
The director of customs and border protection compliance and enforcement, Karen Harfield, said shipping the drugs in the rice was an unusual method.
Her officers went through the laborious process of separating the drugs from the rice in a "slightly more sophisticated" process than using a kitchen sieve, she said.
Police tracked the delivery of the consignment to a storage facility in Melbourne later in July and then its movement to Sydney on 5 August.
On Monday, they executed nine search warrants in Melbourne and Sydney, seizing $255,000 in cash and making the arrests.

I doubt many of you haven't heard of the use of social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace in building networks and connecting with others.
They are of real value in not only this, but in storing, recording and sharing files, gaining access to information, being inspired, engaging in discussion, advertisÂing, receiving advice from experts in your field, making announcements and sharing updates. Of course, all of this will prove very significant for promoting yourself and your work.
There are so many relatively novel things that has been brought along with social media that will enable you to put your self promotional efforts into super-drive.
What is social media, and where does networking fit in?
Social media is media that is shared through online social interaction.
Highly accessible and scalable publishing platforms like Facebook, Digg, and Twitter have enabled for this kind of interaction to take place on a huge and ever-growing scale.
Social networking sites form part of the social media arena, but are more specifically tailored and structured for networking. All social media sites enable networking and interaction to varying levels, for example, social bookmarkÂing/news sites like Delicious, Digg and StumbleUpon, which are primarily for internet users to share, search and manage bookmarks of sites, as opposed to being primarily used for networking (more social networking and bookmarking sites are listed in the back of this book in sections R13 and R14).
The methods in this particular step focus on four of the current main social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn.
The exciting thing about it all is the rate at which social media sites are growing, particularly the current big networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
At the time of writing, Facebook is the second most visited site on the planet, with well over 300 million registered users. Both MySpace and Twitter's traffic levels are in the top fifteen of all sites, with Twitter's rate of growth at a staggerÂing 1,382% year-on-year in February 2009 (source: mashable.com). LinkedIn has over 50 million registered users, spanning more than 200 countries and territories across the globe.
So, you can see that engaging with these networking platforms, having access to the millions of active and targeted members within them, and addressing all four stages in the sales cycle in the process, can potentially yield some signifiÂcant benefits for boosting promotion and attracting clients, if harnessed properly.
I'm going to run through how to get set up effectively with each of the main social networking sites starting with Facebook. You don't need to get set up on all of them, but doing so will greatly benefit your promotional campaign.
We'll look at exactly how to set up and best optimize your accounts on these sites to best make use of them.
Getting set up with Facebook
What exactly is Facebook, and why would I use it for promotion?
Facebook is essentially an online means to network with friends, fans and colÂleagues.
It's primary components are the homepage, containing aggregated updates from all your contacts, your profile page, containing your information, your activity and your wall. In effectively promoting yourself through Facebook, we will be focusing on setting up a fan page as well, which is to have a place to drive your fans without a limit, whereas there is a limit on the number of friends you can have (currently 5000).
What Facebook enables you to do is connect with relevant and key people; build relationships with them; create exposure in front of them; expand your network; build traffic to your sites; showcase and store your work and other content, and much more. We will be treating Facebook purely as a marketing tool here, and don't worry about mixing private and public elements, as we will come to that.
With so many members, you'll need to use Facebook and its tools in just the right ways, in order to make use of its promotional power.
Set up your personal profile
It is important to have properly set up a profile page for the purposes of adding credibility and building trust amongst those you engage with on Facebook. It also acts as the platform from which you add new contacts as friends, so that you can grow your network.
If you haven't yet got a personal profile on Facebook, i.e. you don't have an account, go to Facebook.com and fill in the details it asks for.
If you don't want a personal profile, and simply want to set up a business page, you can click the link below the sign up area that says: 'to create a page for a celebrity, band or business, click here'.
Add a decent profile picture, ideally of your face and one that you use consisÂtently in association with all your online promotional work.
Add a mini bio in the box beneath your picture. Click on the pencil symbol and, in the first person, briefly introduce yourself and the work you do. You could add a brief description of your referral policy and link to your site's referral policy declaration on your base.
Fill in the information on the info page including your web links. Put your links within your website contact details in the info tab, as well as in the sidebar bio box on the left beneath your personal introduction if you want (not forgetting to use the full web address including http://, otherwise they won't work).
I would recommend putting in your interests, favourite films and so on in there, for the sake of appearing human and building trust. Having a personal feel will make it more likely for people to confirm you as a friend/contact later on when they check out your profile before confirming.
Privacy settings: Go to Account > Privacy Settings > Profile Information to make sure your profile privacy is addressed. You might want to hide personal photos from people you add, and you can customize exactly who it is that sees certain photos.
You can tailor your privacy very specifically with Facebook, so tweak the settings so that you are happy with everything. I would suggest allowing new people to post on your wall, as this encourages interaction and relationship building, and will come up on that person's news feed whenever they interact too, creating further exposure for your own wall. You can always delete unnecÂessary posts from others.
Have a look through the other privacy settings including Privacy Settings > Search and make sure you are visible to everyone searching for you and that you allow your profile to be indexed in public search results on search engines (unless you want to remain more private, then have this box unchecked).
Put together a photo or video album that contains the best of your portfolio or other work-related media for all to see. You would do this by clicking on the Photos tab and choosing to Create a Photo Album or clicking the + tab, scrolling to the video icon, then choosing to Upload Video.
Get rid of unnecessary clutter from your profile page, especially games and unnecessary applications. You need to view Facebook as a fairly personal but still professional web presence for your brand.
Set up options to import content from some sites through the Options button above your profile wall > Settings then choosing sites you have a presence on that you want to import from, and entering your sign up details so that they can be recognized as your accounts.
Import your blog feed to your profile wall. In the search bar, search for 'Notes'and with 'Applications' highlighted, click View Application next to the Notes application then Go to Application. On this page, go to Import a Blog and enter the blog site or blog feed address (which you set up at feedburner.com) into the box and click Start Importing and then once happy with the feed preview Confirm Import.
Add relevant apps by searching for apps within the search bar and being sure 'Applications' is highlighted in the menu on the left. You might want to add your Twitter feed or your LinkedIn profile to your profile for example.
You can add these newly installed apps to your boxes tab or elsewhere on your profile. One way of doing this is by clicking the + button on your tabs bar above your wall, and finding the app to incorporate into your profile. Think about apps that will add value and relevant content to your profile, as these will ultimately be seen on the news feeds being seen by your contacts.
Add a mailing list opt-in box to your profile by searching for and installing the app called profile html. Copy and paste the opt-in box code given to you by your mailing list auto-responder service like Aweber into the application's profile box (as opposed to the tab, so that it appears in your profile's sidebar), preview to test, then submit. You may have to play around a bit with the design so that it fits.
If you find your opt-in box does not appear on your wall, but in your opt-in box's tab, just click the pencil that appears on the tab, and select Move to Wall Tab.
Customize your Facebook homepage
This is the default non-profile area which you see on clicking either the Facebook logo button top left, or the Home button in the header. This area shows the combined updates and feeds of all your contacts in a micro-blog format, with newest updates at the top. It is also a place where you can keep track of upcoming birthdays and events, as well as various requests.
Set up friends lists
Especially once you have many key contacts, you'll want to get in front of specific people and you'll want to have a news feed on your home page that is not full of clutter and unhelpful updates.
Setting up lists allows you to sort people into groups, whose updates you can show or hide as you specify. You'll want to make a list of people that you purÂposefully want to interact with and engage.
Click Friends in the menu on the left side of your homepage and click the button that says Create a list. Add your key contacts to the list from your list of already confirmed friends. These could be potential clients, key influencers in your industry, potential referrers, enthusiastic fans and so on. You might want to leave this until later, when you have more relevant people added to your Facebook network as friends.
Once saved, this list will appear in the left sidebar under Friends and can be selected when you want to view the feed of your relevant people, instead of viewing a mashup of everyone you know on Facebook.
Set up your fan page
A fan page is an area where businesses and organizations have a presence on Facebook, which its fans and followers use to stay connected them. A fan page also applies to you, as a freelancer or your company, as a means to promote yourself.
Fan pages are great for addressing the second stage in the sales cycle: securing contacts that you can connect with and building relationships with. I like to see fan pages as your secondary mailing list, as it allows for contacts to effectively subscribe to content you are posting up and it allows for you to contact fans. You should see fan pages as a means to secure new contacts and remind people of your presence, and your mailing list as a more concrete and effective means to communicate and share content.
You do not need to be a friend on Facebook with someone for them to be your fan.
Click on Advertising, at the bottom of any page within Facebook. Making sure you are in the 'Pages' area, click Create Page.
For the category of your page, choose one that suits what you do, for example 'visual artist'.
For the name of your page, make sure you choose this well and include some keywords that relate to your work. You will not be able to change this in future once this has been saved. The great thing about fan pages, that you won't get with groups and events, is that they get indexed by Google, based on keywords and the activity within them.
If you are a digital artist, for example, you might want the page name: 'John Smith, Digital Artist and Photoshop Expert'. Now click Create Page to be taken to the new page.
Add a picture that represents you or your work, ideally a decent picture of you if the page focuses on your services.
Get your settings just right by clicking on Edit Page within the fan page, then clicking Edit under 'Wall Settings' and choosing Posts by Page and Fans as the default view for the wall, as this will allow better interaction with your fans.
Change your 'Default landing tab' to Info, which means that when people first arrive at your fan page, they will see all your details and juicy information straight away, before moving to other tabs if they choose.
Have all the boxes within 'Posting ability' checked, as you want to encourage as much interaction with fans as possible.
Have a look through all the other fan page settings on this page and edit them the way you want if you like, but generally everything should be ok to leave at this stage.
Add your information by clicking the Info tab on the page itself, and clicking Edit Information. Fill in the boxes, including adding your full web addresses, making sure you introduce what exactly it is you do, where you are based, what sets you apart and how you will benefit your clients. This will be the first thing people will see when they come to your fan page, so make sure it provides information in a succinct and interesting way.
Add a brief introduction to your service in the box to the left, under the picture, and include your site/s underneath, clearly spaced out, and in full.
Add the best of your work to the Photos tab by uploading an album so that visitors can see your work within Facebook itself. If you have other forms of media, consider clicking the + tab and searching for applications (either default ones or ones you have previously added) that allow you to add in other formats, such as video.
If you are about to launch your page, you might add some media files to the wall, so that they are seen for a while when people come to your wall. To do this, click on the relevant icons under the 'What's on your mind' wall comment box and attach the media you want, such as a picture that will be posted on your wall. Remember that your wall acts like a blog, so that new content at the top of the wall will constantly replace older stuff.
Import your blog to your wall, which is described in the section on your profile, previously.
Incorporate your mailing list opt-in box to your fan page. You do this by firstly installing the app 'Static FBML', which means Facebook Markup Language and allows you to add code to your page.
Run a search for Static FBML in the Facebook search bar. Click the app and add to your page.
Then, go back into your page, (which you can find by typing it into the search bar, or going to your homepage and clicking Ads and Pages and finding it under 'Pages, and going into 'edit page', and selecting the FBML app > 'edit'.Name the box and drop in the code you acquired from your auto-responder, such as Aweber. Click Save Changes.
Your opt-in box will appear as part of the tabs, but you can transfer the box to the more visible side-bar by selecting the pencil icon and choosing Move to Wall Tab. Again, like with your profile opt-in box, you might need to tweak the design for it to fit properly within your fan page.
Now, you should be basically fully set up with Facebook to make the most of promoting yourself and networking through it, which I'll explain in Step 6.

Human rights, and especially the rights of LGBTQ people, are very important to me. To say I am horrified that the Olympics are happening in Sochi, where the Russian government treats being gay as a criminal act (and don't bother telling me it's decriminalized, their actions speak much louder than their laws), makes me sick. I love the Olympics. Sure, I'm more of a summer games girl (GYMNASTICS!!!!!) but the winter games are pretty great too (ICE SKATING!!!)
I can't boycott the games. I couldn't watch them if I wanted to, so I have no leverage. I can try to boycott sponsors, but I don't think that would be super-effective.
Lucky for me, my fellow knitwear designer Bristol Ivy hatched a lovely plan: during the games, I and several other independent designers will be donating a portion of pattern sales to a variety of organizations working for gay rights. Bristol has a complete (evolving) list here.
All of my self-published patterns are eligible. I considered offering a discount, but decided against it. Instead, I will give 75% of the full price to Lambda Legal during opening ceremonies (for simplicity's sake, all day
Thursday Friday PST) and 50% of the full price for the duration of the games. All fees (Paypal, Ravelry, etc) will come out of the remaining percentage, so if you buy a $6 pattern a full $3 (or $4.50 opening day) will go to Lambda Legal. You don't need to use a coupon code or anything; I will count every sale.

Air raid shelters were provided as places of safety during bombing raids. The steel garden shelter was called an Anderson shelter after the Home Secretary, Sir John Anderson.
Measuring 6ft 6in x 4ft 6in, the shelter arrived in pieces and had to be erected by the homeowner who sunk it down into the ground and covered it with soil. It could sleep up to six adults.
You can use the conversion tables below to work out the size of the shelter in meters.
If you didn't have a garden you would be issued with a Morrison shelter, named after Herbert Morrison, the Minister of Home Security. A Morrison shelter was a reinforced box shape with meshed sides to protect the occupant. These could be used as a table during the day.
Public shelters were built and cellars of private and public buildings were equipped to deal with emergencies. Information on what you should have in your shelter or refuge room was published in a Home Office booklet entitled The Protection of your Home against Air Raids.

Greetings: From Section 5.1 Root Node: "The root node is the root of the tree. It does not occur anywhere else in the tree. The element node for the document element is a child of the root node. The root node also has as children processing instruction and comment nodes for processing instructions and comments that occur in the prolog and after the end of the document element. The value of the root node is the value of the document element." ---- This is confusing. If the value of the root node is the value of the document element, and the "element node for the document element is a child of the root node," then these statements imply that the document element is a child of itself. I'm sure this isn't the case, but that's how it reads. How should this actually be interpreted?

Happy Thursday, chismosos! Find out what we are buzzing about today with our daily gossip roundup below:
- Sofia Vergara finally admits to being engaged to Nick Loeb! The Modern Family actress has been sporting a supersized rock since her 40th birthday bash in Mexico earlier this summer.
The Colombian star broke the news to Celebuzz and revealed, "I haven't started planning anything because everything has been very recent…I am kind of, you know, working a lot — I just started the Modern Family season — so I don't know yet [when I will get married]. No plans."
We can officially say congrats to the lovebirds!
- Gloria Estefan is setting the record straight about her politically leaning. After the Huffington Post featured the Cuban pop star in an article about Latino celebrity Republicans, Gloria tweeted, "Please get your facts straight!" The article has since been updated.
- Kate del Castillo's former husband, Aaron Diaz, is expecting his first child with girlfriend, Lola Ponce. The Argentinean singer-actress is fourteen weeks along, confirmed Univision. Congrats!
Watch below as Sofia chats about the engagement, the upcoming Emmys, and babies!

The other day I gave you a sneak peek of my plan for the family room. A little 'Robin Hood' action – take from the rich and give to the poor! My master bedroom was overloaded with furniture and this room was bare! While Stud was at work I went to work myself, dragging this dresser into the family room (more here). I shared some beautiful TV consoles and built ins (here), but as I look at the overall needs of my house, the kitchen is my top priority right now and spending a couple thousand here and a couple thousand there would totally dwindle away my kitchen fund quickly!
I love it when I can be patient and a solution finally clicks within! (Patience doesn't come natural for me). Having the living room look like this shortly after moving in — my wheels were constantly spinning. I can't chill when harmony is totally lacking!
Then I remembered a house tour I shared — from back when we were still house shopping — in that house, my exact same master bedroom dresser base (Gramercy Park by Lane) was being used as a hutch. If it worked as a hutch in another house, why not use it for a console in my family room?!!
Ordering a rug from Potterybarn helped the room feel like a more liveable space — having it majorly on sale and using additional coupons helped, too (here). When I added the new console – 72″ w x 22″ d x 39″ h, I rotated the rug and long sofa to work with the length of the room.
I watched my first movie all the way through since moving into the house — finally able to focus on the show and not be distracted by the entry table being completely the wrong scale!!!
Did you notice I hung my DIY Frame Tutorial?! I love how easy it is to switch out the pictures! It's finally starting to feel more like home!!! I'll share more soon sweet friends! One big question I have weighing is paint the brick or not!?! Opinions!?!?
If you haven't seen my new house and the updates, check out old and new updates (here).

The Laird (Lord in Scottish) of Kincavel
Kate, my Scottish wife, has bought me a plot of land in the Kincavel Estate. This entitles me to use the title of Laird (Owner of Land or Lord in Scottish) officially.
The Kincavel estate lies on the Ardnamurchan peninsular, which covers 50 square miles and is due west of Fort William.. There are around 2000 human inhabitants of the peninsular, but many more thousands of creatures and plants, some of which are very rare. The north coast of the peninsular faces the Islands of Muck, Eigg and Rhum, while the south coast runs alongside Loch Sunart and the Sound of Mull.
The Kincavel estate is within a large area of land belonging to the Sonachan Hotel – 1000 acres in total - 400 of which have been enclosed by fences to encourage the natural regeneration of the flora and fauna without damage by farm stock. Sonachan is located between the beautiful sandy beaches of Ardnamurchan's north coast and Tobermory – the scene for children's television show on BBC 'Balamory', which is a short ferry ride away on the Isle of Mull.
The Kincavel Estate itself is just a few hundred yards from a secluded golden sandy beach – visitors at some times of the year are likely to find they have it all to themselves! Your land is on a seaward facing hillock and looks out over the sea to the Isle of Mull. On a nice day it is the perfect place for a picnic as there are spectacular views in every direction; across the mountainous countryside inland and over the sea to the Isle of Mull.
Nearby attractions include the Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre and Ardnamurchan Point lighthouse. This lighthouse was one of many built by the Stevenson family, and is the only one in the world built in an Egyptian style. Ardnamurchan Point is the most westerly point in mainland Britain – a claim often wrongly thought to belong to Land's End in Cornwall.
The nearest village to the Estate is Portuaik – the most westerly settlement on the mainland, overlooking Sanna Bay. From the village there are also views across to the Isle of Skye and the Small Isles.
Well, so now I am a Scottish Laird (Lord) :-).
Interesting stuff.

Organize Your Health
On the road to becoming the healthy, happy you, it pays to be organized. Keeping a mental list of all your various projects can be overwhelming. There is just no way to remember all those things you need and want to do.
Many of us use day planners for work, so why not use a planner as a tool for your personal life as well? I came across these from lobotoMe.com. Talk about organization! They make notepads for everything.
My favorite is the Feed ME meal planning to do list. It's a pad of 50 sheets ($8) and helps you plan out your meals for an entire week. On the right-hand side, there is a preprinted grocery list so you can keep track of all of the ingredients you need so you are organized when you go to the grocery store. This way you don't wander into the cookie and chip aisle, and hopefully the organized list keeps you from having to make multiple trips back to the store for forgotten ingredients.
I also like the organizeME Weekly Planner ($16 per pad of 60). It's a way to organize all the chores and errands you need to get done in each day, and a way to remember to take care of yourself too. It has a spot to write down what healthy dinner, exercise, and "me time" you have planned Monday through Sunday. It even has a little spot on the bottom to check off when you've had your 8 glasses of water a day. These sheets can tear off and fold to fit in most daily planners.
Taking care of yourself is something you need to do everyday, and sometimes you need to plan for it in advance. I'm all for anything that can make eating healthy, getting exercise, and staying stress-free easier. There's a lot to keep track of, and these day planners can help keep you on track.

Few would call pastoring a small rural church "glamorous." In fact, for most people, it takes nothing short of an undeniable calling from God to have the faith to step out into the face of what many see as insurmountable odds. Laced with financial, vocational and locational challenges, the small rural church pastor and his family know firsthand the meaning of sacrifice and the times when faith is quite literally all that remains.
Recognizing the caliber of person it takes to embrace the rural church challenge, the Assemblies of God is working to provide increased communication, support and resources to the men and women and their families who minister to rural America.
According to AG Statistician Sherry Doty, many AG churches are small and often rural churches with less than 100 people attending. Doty says that more than 60 percent of all AG churches in the United States have 99 or fewer people attending - well over 7,700 churches!
Key AG-affiliated ministries currently working to specifically meet the needs of the rural church pastor include Rural Compassion, the Healthy Church Network and the online AG Small Church Forum.
Rural Compassion, founded by Steve Donaldson, is now a department of Convoy of Hope. The ministry partners with the Assemblies of God to offer rural churches several levels of help, beginning with the pastor, then the church and finally the community.
"Rural Compassion comes alongside and empowers pastors to dream big dreams for their communities," states Kim Harvey, U.S. missionary and Rural Compassion team member. "We encourage and counsel the pastor and their church in vital community projects as well as offer ideas and tips we have learned."
In addition to offering coaching, mentoring and training opportunities to pastors, Rural Compassion supplies materials to help churches reach out to their communities, including school supplies, hygiene kits, food, shoes and even Bibles to give to community leaders such as law enforcement, firefighters and teachers.
"We help the church become the center of their community by becoming a spiritually-based serving center for the benefit of the community," Donaldson explains. Rural Compassion also comes alongside rural churches in both poverty relief and disaster response situations.
Mike Clarensau, senior director of the Healthy Church Network, says that one of the most impacting resources offered by the Health Church Network is the Acts 2 Journey, with smaller churches being eligible for an AG Trust scholarship.
"Although the Acts 2 Journey is designed for use by churches of all sizes, more than 80 percent of the churches that participate have under 200 in attendance," Clarensau says. "In the Acts 2 Journey, we work with pastors and leadership teams in achieving the goals of the journey and consult with them by phone and, sometimes, in person."
Clarensau says that the Healthy Church Network representatives also spend significant time fielding questions.
"There are a multitude of questions that a small rural church pastor may not have a readily available and experienced friend to turn to for an answer," Clarensau says. "We handle questions concerning conflict situations, church growth, how to assimilate people, how to lead a church in vision and so on."
In addition, Clarensau writes a weekly blog that focuses mainly on the small church and the department is regularly engaged in research projects designed to better understand how to minister effectively to smaller congregations.
Ministry Coach TV, a ministry partner of My Healthy Church, also offers a five-session course on transforming the smaller congregation.
"Through the different avenues of ministry to the smaller church," Clarensau says, "we want to bring a renewed hope and discovery of potential to the small church pastor and his congregation. The Ministry Coach TV course, in particular, offers pastors principles that help them to know where to focus their energies and develop a vision for their church."
Pastors and ministry leaders of small Assemblies of God churches now also have an online haven designed just for them - the AG Small Church Forum Facebook page.
"I see this forum as a place for small church pastors to connect in order to share ideas on ministering in the small church context," says Richard Schoonover, Enrichment journal associate editor and creator of the Facebook forum page. "I also see it as a place for small church ministers to find encouragement in what others have done and what might work in their communities, to build friendships, prayer support and share resources that could help other ministers."
Schoonover explains that small churches and the pastors who lead them often have fairly significant financial limitations. Opportunities for travel, attending conferences, meeting with peers - instances where struggles can be discussed and ideas interchanged - are limited or non-existent. Schoonover sees the creation of AG Small Church Forum as an effort to ease the isolation.
The three ministries agree, however, that simply because a church is small, it doesn't mean it's ineffective or not a vital part of its community. In many cases, the opposite is true. But now, this trio of ministries is doing their best to come alongside and help ease some of the challenges the small church pastor experiences.

M&M's in Mexico??..should we or not??
Posted 11 February 2008 - 01:00 PM
My FI and our daughter went to the movies, when they came back home, my FI says, "Oh honey, we brought you back some M&M's from the movie", and he hands me a little white bag from the movies with some M&M's and my engagement ring in it.
You guys know the rest and it brings us to the reason for my post.
Over the weekend I was sharing with someone the way my fiance proposed and the M&M bag. She suggested that we have somehow use M&M's in the wedding as a favor or something. I hadn't thought of that before, but I thought that was a cute idea. So, what do you guys think? Do you think they would melt? I was thinking of maybe placing some on the tables in little favor containers at the reception. Our reception is in the evening around 8pm.
Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if you think they would melt.

Here's what will happen: the chocolate inside will soften and the glossy part on the candy shell will get a little melty. But, thanks to the candy shell, they don't melt, per se. So all nicely contained, even if they are a bit softer when you bite into them. The glossy part is an edible wax or something - and it softens too, but not enough to cause a problem. However if you cool down the ones left over, they will stick to one another.
Happily married since 2008

Use the Fragrances Wanted board. Use trusted/top-rated sellers on ebay. Buy samples from Luckyscent and the Perfume Shoppe (latter offers five samples for CAD $15, which is good value despite the small range).
When you've worked out what you want to buy, go to http://scentsplits.wikidot.com/ and organise a decant. Don't buy decants from The Perfumed Court as they are rip-offs. Samples, sure, but not decants.

* Socialist leader has been fighting cancer for one year
* Chavez had wrongly said he was completely cured before
* Perceptions of his ability to govern are crucial to voters
(Adds details, updates)
* Socialist leader has been fighting cancer for one year
* Chavez had wrongly said he was completely cured before
* Perceptions of his ability to govern are crucial to voters
(Adds details, updates)
By Mario Naranjo and Andrew Cawthorne
CARACAS, July 9 (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo
Chavez declared himself fully recovered from cancer on Monday,
three months before an election in which he is seeking another
six-year term.
"Free, free, totally free," he told reporters when asked if
he was free of the disease that struck a year ago.
The 57-year-old socialist leader was first diagnosed with
cancer in the pelvic region in mid-2011. He wrongly declared
himself cured at the end of that year before having a recurrence
of the disease in February.
But after repeated cycles of treatment in Cuba and
Venezuela, Chavez is once again declaring himself fully fit at a
crucial time when his health is the main wild card before the
Oct. 7 presidential vote.
Perceptions of Chavez's ability to campaign for the
election, and govern afterwards, are crucial among voters in
what could be one of Venezuela's tightest elections of recent
At a four-hour news conference that offered more evidence of
Chavez's increasing energy levels, he promised to begin
campaigning on the streets with a series of caravans in
provincial Venezuela from Thursday.
"Now is when I'm stepping into the action. Our offensive
begins right now!" said an ebullient Chavez, who disappeared for
long periods during treatment over the last year but has been
back dominating Venezuela's airwaves in recent weeks.
"Chavez is back in the street, the Bolivarian hurricane!" he
added, referring to his spiritual idol and Venezuela's
independence hero, Simon Bolivar.
Despite Chavez's optimism, doctors say it is impossible to
be sure someone is completely cured until at least a couple of
years have passed since the last recurrence of cancer.
The former soldier is leading most opinion polls by double
digits, but one recent survey put him neck-and-neck with
opposition candidate Henrique Capriles and up to a third of
voters remain undecided.
Capriles, a 39-year-old, center-left former governor, has
been criss-crossing Venezuela on a "house-by-house" tour in a
show of youth and energy that the opposition has been using to
contrast with the ailing Chavez, 57.
The president, though, who was famous for his whirlwind
on-the-street campaigning of the past, appears to be recovering
his energy levels just in time.
"Every day, I feel in better physical condition and I
strongly believe ... it is not going to be a determining factor
in this campaign," he told reporters. "I'm a veteran of 100
battles and I feel in great moral, spiritual and physical
conditions for this fight that is starting."

Bishop Larry Trotter, high profiled senior pastor of the Sweet Holy Spirit Church, an 8,000-member, mega-church located in the south side of Chicago, woke up to a huge debate after photo himself and his 4year old granddaughter in a bathtub appeared on his Instagram page.
Now social media is ablaze as this picture has both sinners and saints divided. Many argue that the picture is innocent and it is social media and the general public that is perverting an innocent time between a grandfather and his granddaughter. Others argue that this is perverted and regardless of how innocent his intentions may have been, that no grown a man should be in the tub with a child of any age:
One person wrote:
No man should ever ever ever take a bath with a female in his family or friends. That's only for a man and his wife! This is totally inappropriate behaviour!
The bishop defended himself by saying that while taking a bubble bath, his granddaughter, who was visiting with her parents for the weekend, came in the bathroom and asked him if she could get in the tub. He said yes, and it was the girl's mother who took the photograph.
What do you think – Is it inappropriate?

Mike Gumballhead returns for another rant, wondering what's going on with the rich men running Liverpool and Newcastle.
Why is it that whenever a grotesquely rich businessman buys a football club, we're surprised to find that he doesn't run his team like a corporate Mahatma Gandhi but instead shows all the philanthropic patience of Donald Trump?
This past week, we've gorged on Mike Ashley's madness — please, football gods, let him add Alan Shearer to the Wor Kev Movement at St. James Park — as pundits have wondered how a man brilliant enough to make a fortune selling polyester shirts could have lost his head so suddenly as soon as he bought a football club.
The man made a success of Milletts, for god's sake, but give him Nicky Butt and Sam Allardyce's twenty-five man entourage and suddenly he's sunk in a diving bell 60m below the northern Caspian Sea giving an interview only Cristiano Ronaldo digs.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of northern England, those damn Yanks have completely lost it, running Liverpool as if they had no history, no glory, as if they were merely the Montreal Canadiens of English sawker!
No, This is Anfield, and I've heard Jamie Carragher's chirpy voice enough on Five Live to know those Yanks wouldn't recognise the genius of Rafael Benitez even if they were an entire 24 points behind Man Utd right now, instead of a mere 12. This is a man who sees coruscating winger where we see Jamie Pennant, and goalscoring talent where we see Dirk Kuyt turning away from goal for the eight hundredth time.
What is going on, friends? How can men who have long robbed the poor to feed themselves fail to bring instant success to England's two People's Clubs? (Sorry, Everton.)

Although the Mass Effect series does boast a wide range of species, what it really boils down to is a tale of how great humanity is. The most obvious way this is portrayed is through Shepard, who discovers the existence of the Reapers and their aim of killing off the intelligent societies of the galaxy. Ultimately, he pursues the Reapers and leads a small team to face them, despite being constantly hindered by the Council and intergalactic politics.
Mass Effect is phenomenal. It is without a doubt my favorite gaming experience of this generation, and the one I will remember years from now when thought of the others have long since faded.

i think i should just tell her how i really feel instead of keeping it inVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Male
hi i like this girl i've liked her for a while now i have feelings for her i have a crush on her but it's difficult for me to tell her how i feel plus i'm shy i don't think i can do this at all i could try asking one of her friends to try and get her to go out with me i've liked her for a long time i think i should just tell her how i really feel instead of keeping it in i like her so much and i don't know how to tell her how i feel about her
RomanceClass.com Advice
Yes, you should tell her.
Next time you have a chance, tell her you are developing feelings for her. Also tell her if she needs time to think about it you will ask again in a few days.
Everyone is shy at the beginning so you just need to practice and get over that feeling.
Good luck!

|I played with matches quite a lot back when I was a kid who was forbidden from playing with matches. Now, not so much.
|But pools are not made to kill people, it's a place where kids are supposed to have fun. Finally I think the best way to prevent accidents is definitely keeping them away from any weapon, the same way you would simply forbid them from touching matches.
|But as they point out in Freakanomics, pool safety, for younger kids, at least, is a far greater concern.
|I see your point. In a country where unfortunatly almost anyone can buy a gun, maybe I would be the first to teach my kids gun safety.
|A lot of overhand punching and feather boa garroting.
|I will probably never own a gun, or ever fire one again, but I would not try to ban them all, or even most of them. I am creeped out by dudes with whole arsenals, though. That alone suggests underlying issues.
|what do you expect from Surfers and movie stars?
|That's too simplistic, dude. California has about the same # of people as Canada, and there are more knife murders there, per year, than all types of murders in Canada. And we Canadians also have a lot of guns -- and aircraft carriers, by the way.
|My father, who is 86, grew up in a small town in Maine, and they hunted for their food. Very handy through the depression. So I was taught at an early age about gun safety. I hated hunting but it didn't stop him from taking me.
|But if your kids are likely to be arounds guns no matter what you do or don't own yourself, gun safety training is just responsible parenting.

I dunno what to asay
This... isn't for all ages. There's this naked guy floatin around and a childbirth scene, I dunno want too say. Regardless of what people say,I think the singer wasn't BAD, he was bad in a hilarious...kinda way. Where do you even come up with this crap XD puns
The name is what this is
It wasn't good at all, the graphics were the only part that were okay. The song was stupid not to mention how much the guy singing sucked. It wasn't funny, mainly a piece of shit and a drop of pee getting it on. The whole god part was stupid and it overall deserves a poopie grade.
I liked it. The singing is what made it funny
the idea woz good. but the song killed it man. couldnt u get a better singer. whos bad. but not OVER bad like that singer in "poopies"....
WTF? That was so completely random. Where do you come up with this stuff? It was strangely hilarious though. xD

Just a Quick Photoshop of Brock Lesnar and CM Punk.
I saw Some Superhero/heroine Aprons up on Pinterest(Gf made me join), I got bored.
So I decided To make some of my OWN designs, Nothing special just some quick Vectors.
Some of these could easily be turned into Costumes or even Dresses…I just got bored and made about 15 of em.
I'll Probably be making a few of these, my gf/sister/friend all want one. I'm not considering them as Useable Aprons(I can make some that way).
Anyways if you're interested in one Hit me up.
Twitter @JwsmithC4
So since that shitty Spiderman 3 came out I've been pissed…they put a 5 '10 1/2″ moron from "That 70s Show" as Venom…
Venom aka Eddie Brock's Stats
Height: 6'3″ (variable with symbiote)
Weight: 260lbs (variable with symbiote)
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Reddish Blond
Topher Grace's height is like I said 5 '10 1/2″….and probably weighs around 175lbs..No where NEAR Eddie Brock's height/weight.
Anyways, I've been saying for awhile that The part should have been played by Brock Lesnar, the MMA Fighter.
Brock Lesnar's Stats's
Height: 6′ 3″ (1.91 m)
Weight: 266.8 lbs (121 kg)
This guy is just Huge!
Here's Eddie Brock in case you don't know what he looks like.
Anyways On to my Point, and me putting my Photoshopping Graphic Designy talents where my Mouth is…fingers are.
Anyways, let me know what you think? Brock Lesnar as Venom? And FYI I don't care if he can act or not, They thought Topher Grace could and he made that movie that much shittier. (it was already a crap sandwich with diarrhea spread, he added some Foamed crap)

So After messaging Hackaday about the CNC Tattoo Machine, I did a bit of searching.
I found this baby
Auto-ink Automatic Tattoo Machine
It's pretty and all, but according to them it's random, and it only seems to tattoo in ONE color…(unless you physically change it, which to me loses some of it's "Auto"ing). I just read the little description and it's mostly just an art piece.
My idea is to work a little bit like those Old Greeting Card Printer machines they had in Walmart way back when.
I think it was the mid-90s, but they had a CNC Kiosk that printed out greeting cards while you watched through a little glass/plexiglass window. After a bit of searching for SOMEONE that remembers these things, I found someone on Etsy that was talking about it. chaps676 Wrote a small article titled "The DreamVendor"
They had this little Row of pens that the machine would pick up to change colors. Why not something similar, or even small ink wells so the machine could dip it's tip to change colors…
Just another weird group of thoughts. One day someone shall read this.
So I was reading Skin Deep, a Tattoo magazine, and I got to thinking. Why hasn't anyone played with making a Tattoo machine controlled by a computer?
What really makes me wonder this, is the movie Starship Troopers.
In the one scene They show the guy getting a tattoo, with a laser etching style
About 28-29 seconds in they show the tattoo being "Laser-etched" onto his arm.
Anyways, I know it's possible, It's nothing but a machine controlled by another machine. The only question is who's brave enough to make/use it.
of Course the machine would require extensive testing, probably need to be hooked up with a kinect or something to get the proper dimensions of the arm/hand/whatever that is getting the tattoo. But Come on, should be simple compared to half the stuff I've seen on Hackaday
If anyone DOES decide they like this idea and go to put it into a physical item, Test it out on Oranges, Pigskin, melons(edible kind not the booby kind) or even Leather(how cool would it be to have a Tattooed wallet?)
Anyways…Just a quick Rambling question at 3:50AM EST…
I've tried for awhile to look for a solution to my problem with compressing multiple folders into separate files… I tried Command line to no avail.
Since I couldn't get the command line to work, instead I downloaded Winrar
Winrar has an option to zip Multiple folders into their own separate Zip Files.
C:/Files/Fables 01/ into C:/Files/Fables 01.zip
C:/Files/Fables 02/ into C:/Files/Fables 02.zip
C:/Files/Fables 03/ into C:/Files/Fables 03.zip
and so on
With Winrar OPEN to the Folder that contains the folders you want to zip
When you've got any other settings you like fixed hit OK and boom Multiple Zips of Multiple Folders…worked sooooo much easier than command line 7zip

Police have arrested five senior Sun journalists and three others including a member of the armed forces in connection to their investigation into corruption and inappropriate payments to police, Operation Elveden, Scotland Yard said on Saturday.
The arrests spread beyond police officers for the first time with a ministry of defence employee and a serving member of the armed forces arrested alongside an officer in the Surrey police on suspicion of "misconduct in a public office".
Five of the arrests were for aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office. All eight people are all being questioned by police.
A statement from News Corporation confirmed that five Sun employees had also been arrested. The Telegraph reports there are fears for the future of the paper following the arrests of the journalits.
The five journalists include chief reporter, associate editor, the picture editor, a chief foreign correspondent and a news editor, Sky News reported.
Police said Wapping offices were being searched and the information had been given to police by News Corproation's "Management and Standards Committee" (MSC).
"The home addresses of those arrested are currently being searched and officers are also carrying out a number of searches at the offices of News International in Wapping, East London," police said.
"It relates to suspected payments to police officers and public officials and is not about seeking journalists to reveal confidential sources in relation to information that has been obtained legitimately."
Operation Elveden runs alongside the Operation Weeting phone hacking inquiry.
MP Chris Bryant questioned if the Sun would be closed, tweeting:
News Corp said: "News Corporation remains committed to ensuring that unacceptable news-gathering practices by individuals in the past will not be repeated and last summer authorised the MSC to co-operate with the relevant authorities.
"The MSC will continue to ensure that all appropriate steps are taken to protect legitimate journalistic privilege and sources, private or personal information and legal privilege.
"News Corporation maintains its total support to the ongoing work of the MSC and is committed to making certain that legitimate journalism is vigorously pursued in both the public interest and in full compliance with the law."
In January five people were arrested over payments to police officers. A serving Scotland Yard officer was arrested on suspicion of receiving illegal payments from journalists in December.
Dominic Mohan, editor of The Sun, today said: "I'm as shocked as anyone by today's arrests but am determined to lead The Sun through these difficult times.
"I have a brilliant staff and we have a duty to serve our readers and will continue to do that. Our focus is on putting out Monday's newspaper."

8 Responses to Fall Leaf Sugar Cookies Recipe
Pingback: Holiday Baking Play Sets for American Girl Dolls and other 18 Inch Dolls The Queen's Treasures
The recipe says to add milk but it doesn't say how much??? Can anybody help?? I was wanting to make them tonight.
Hi Eva, it is only 1 tbsp of Milk, Thank you for catching that, it doesn't make a huge difference but it is only 1 tbsp.
Hi there. Love the look of your pretty cookies! Just wondering if you dip the cookies on both sides or just the one side. any technique suggestions??? Thanks for the help!! They r fab!
Whew! Glad someone already asked about the milk!!! I'm in the middle of making the dough now and freaked … well, maybe not freaked… felt challenged about the milk! I can hardly wait to "frost" them tomorrow!
Now I'm wondering about the frosting. 3/4 C water is way too much.
I promise the 3/4 cup is not, you can re dip the cookies over time to get the colors you like, the frosting will dry on the cookie.

This article is in response to an article in Linux User and Developer magazine which gives a glowing review of Linux Mint 15 whilst making some fairly derogatory and unnecessary comments about Ubuntu.
Is Ubuntu bashing a new sport? Are the issues with Ubuntu and Unity well founded or are some people living in the past of 11.04 and not giving Unity a chance.
First of all I would like to say that Linux Mint is a top operating system and I like the things they are doing with the Cinnamon desktop, however some of the remarks in the linked article are a little bit economical with the truth.
