Share another experience before you go.I have visited sweet obsession practically every week with friends for their best and heaviest product Belgium Chocolate Shake. Although seating could be better, the place is quite lovely and compact. Suggestion - need to open more stores.
I've tried Sweet Obsession a lot of times and was never disappointed but this one was special as it was my sister's birthday. Her friends ordered an Ice Cream Cake, thin chocolate base topped with lots of chocolate cream. It was delicious but carried a little heavy texture. We all loved this morsel of art in every spoon. The pricing... More
This is my favourite place in Gurgaon. They serve amazing shakes. If you are a sweet enthusiast this is the place for you. They have some of amazing desserts. My favourite is rocky road and java cheese cake. In shakes if you love chocolate then try their Belgium chocolate shake. It is amazing. Apart from this their food is also... More
A friend introduced me to sweet obsession. Although the food is good, I found it to be over priced and the size of the proportions are also not adequate. Have tried their death by chocolate, pasta in orange vodka and assorted pastries. The restaurant itself is a small place and the sitting area in the first floor is a little... More
Went there with my wife and ordered Spicy Chicken Wings, Green Curry vegetables with Steamed Rice and Sole Fish in butter ,caper and mustard sauce with Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes.

i was gleaming with joy when i read the name of cheesecake as java chip! Although it tasted great, but it wasn't as fresh as i expected. :/
I had ordered a cake from this bakery for one and a half kg for somebody's retirement. It was delivered to me at my home with delivery charges.when I opened the box I saw congrats misspelt as conrats. I called them again to tell them that a simple word like congrats has been misspelt. It was duly sent back and... More
This is a small place with a cake shop on the ground floor and a multi cuisine restaurant on the first floor. The décor is ordinary and the place is a bit cramped. However food was very good. They serve Italian, Mexican, Thai and other cuisines. Overall a good experience. A meal for 4 would cost you approx. Rs. 2000/-
Background They have spoiled me and my team members . Any 'sweet' or ' good' occasion and cake needs to come in from here . Its simply 'sweet' .

Jessup's bandana
24,277pages on
this wiki
Add New Page
this wiki
Jessup's bandana is a unique piece of headwear in Fallout: New Vegas.
It provides no Damage Threshold but has a bonus of 1 to Perception. It looks the same regardless of the gender of the wearer.
Jessup's bandana is worn by Jessup who is located in the Great Khan hideout in the Boulder City ruins (or later Red Rock Canyon). It can either be looted from his body or be reverse-pickpocketed.
- Jessup's bandana sits lower on the Courier's head, closer to the head's surface, which makes it clip more into the Courier's hair than normal bandanas.
- When the Courier has the spiked mohawk hair chosen, Jessup's bandanna appears to clip inside the Courier's forehead texture.
- By convincing Jessup to let the two hostages go via Speech check, the player can passively kill Jessup afterwards by telling Lieutenant Monroe to make his own decision about the hostage swap promise. Monroe will follow NCR's order, sending troops in to elimimate the Khans. This will result in no Karma/fame loss to Great Khans, as long as you do not kill the Khans by yourself, allowing you to loot Jessup's bandana, as well as equipment on dead combatants from NCR/Great Khans.

The Spinners Biography
Last updated: 09/03/2012 04:28:59 PM
It should come as no surprise that The Spinners have always made timeless music. Their classic group sound and approach never loses its universal appeal. Throughout the years they have acquired twelve (12) gold records with hits on top of both Pop and R&B charts and they are one of the few groups who can boast of four lead singers. Today, original members Bobbie Smith and Henry Fambrough are joined onstage by lead singer Charlton Washington, Jessie Peck, Marvin Taylor and a soul-infused 5-piece band.
In 1972, The Spinners signed with Atlantic Records and teamed up with producer Thom Bell, setting into motion an amazing recording career. A partial list of their hit singles on Atlantic include "Mighty Love," "Then Came You," "I'll Be Around," "One Of A Kind (Love Affair)," "Games People Play," and "Could It Be." In 1979, The Spinners completed their first collaboration with producer Michael Zager, and by early 1980, the single, "Working My Way Back to You," was topping Pop and R&B charts giving the group its 12th gold record. The Love Trippin' album's release included "The Cupid Medley," one of the fastest selling records in The Spinners' career. The follow-up album, Labor of Love, featured such stand- out tunes as "Yesterday Once More," and "Long Live Soul Music." With the release of "Can't Shake This Feeling," their fourth LP in just over two years, the quintet entered a brand new phase of their remarkable career as they joined the award winning producing/ writing/playing team of James Mtume and Reggie Lucas. Other past releases include songs on the motion picture soundtracks of "Twins" and "Spaceballs," and a single on Arista Records, a duet with Dionne Warwick entitled "Then Came You."
The mighty Spinners have six Grammy nominations and have performed twice during the awards ceremony. They received a Black Gold Award from Dick Clark for their many achievements in the recording industry, and they have been awarded the Rhythm and Blues Foundation Award for their contribution to R & B. The group has performed for presidents, received a star on the Hollywood "Walk of Fame," and has appeared in numerous network and cable television specials paying tribute to the music of the 70's.
Today, this legendary R & B group maintains a full touring schedule, performing for fans of all ages in sold out houses around the world.

ROME (AP) — Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi predicted Friday that Italy would succeed in forming a governing coalition out of bitterly rival blocs including his own, savoring the prospects of a political comeback for himself and his conservative party.
Once virtually counted out as a political power after giving up the premiership in the face of Italy's economic crisis, the billionaire business baron now appears be Italy's kingmaker.
Berlusconi gave his upbeat assessment on the prospects for a government Friday to TgCom24, part of his media empire, predicting that there would be a "good outcome" for coalition talks.
The economically stagnant nation has been struggling for two months to form a new government after inconclusive national elections in which Berlusconi's party finished second.
Berlusconi was expected to meet shortly with Premier-designate Enrico Letta, after returning overnight from a trip to the United States for the dedication of George W. Bush's presidential library.
Letta's Democratic Party came in first in the balloting, but it fractured after failing to win control of both parliamentary chambers.
Letta held talks for two hours Friday morning with President Giorgio Napolitano, who tapped him earlier in the week to attempt to build bridges in the polarized Parliament.
"There's a very positive attitude by the premier-designate" toward the negotiations, Berlusconi said.
Reflecting that optimism, an auction of six-month Treasury bonds went well, according to data from Italy's central bank Friday. The interest rate dropped from 0.83 percent to 0.50 percent from the previous month, as €8 billion ($10.5 billion) in bonds were auctioned.
The third major bloc in Parliament is an aggressive political newcomer, the anti-establishment 5 Star Movement, galvanized by caustic comic Beppe Grillo. Grillo's movement has refused to back the established parties in a coalition, saying it's time for change.
After meeting with leaders of all of Parliament's parties Thursday, the premier-designate expressed cautious optimism.
A major obstacle has been a highly unpopular property tax that Berlusconi vowed to abolish if he regained power. The tax was created by Berlusconi's replacement, Premier Mario Monti, as a key revenue raiser in his bid to prevent Italy from sliding deeper into the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis.
Letta, who needs Monti's small centrist forces to create the coalition, conferred with the caretaker premier Friday morning. Monti's party has indicated the property tax could be tweaked.
Italian polling company SWG published results Friday of a survey asking voters who they would choose if the election were held now. Berlusconi's party surged in the survey, while the bickering Democratic Party lost a few percentage points. The 5-Star Movement's voters appeared to stay loyal, with no new gains.
About a third of voters had abstained and would either abstain again or hadn't decided who would get their vote.

Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996 governs unauthorised deductions from wages and has evolved (as a result of case law) to include complete non-payment of wages or salary.
Key points
- Unlawful deductions from wages provisions cover 'workers', including employees and apprentices. Also included are people working under a contract and providing work or services personally to someone who is not a customer or client of the worker's profession or business. The provisions do not cover the genuinely self-employed.
- Lawful deductions include income tax and NICs, any deductionsauthorised by the worker's contract and those deductionsagreed in writing by the worker before the deductions are made.
- Workers in the retail sector have additional protection against unlawful deductions and special rules apply to any deductions made in relation to 'cash shortages or stock deficiencies'.
- Complaints regarding unlawful deductions from wages must normally be made to an employment tribunal within three months of the deduction.
- Overpayments resulting from a 'mistake of fact', such as a computing error, can potentially be recovered, although any repayment by the employee from his or her wages must comply with the provisions that govern unlawful deductions.
- Overpayments resulting from a 'mistake of law', such as misinterpreting legislation, are irrecoverable.

text: Scott Mitchell Is Not Happy About The Fact That Lomas Brown Let Him Get Injured In 1994Tom Ley12/26/12 2:20pmFiled to: Detroit LionsLomas BrownScott mitchellInjuriesThrowing shadeNflNewsGettypic11EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Last week, we told you about former Lions offensive tackle and current ESPN NFL analyst Lomas Brown admitting to intentionally blowing a block in the hopes that his team's quarterback, Scott Mitchell, would be knocked out of the game with an injury. Brown's plan worked. Mitchell left the game with a broken hand after being hit during the play that Brown left him unprotected. Now Scott Mitchell has become aware of Brown's shenanigans, and he is pissed. Here's what he had to say to USA Today Sports: Advertisement Advertisement I was floored by that revelation. I had Lomas in my home. I fed him dinner. I gave him and other offensive linemen gifts. I'm dumbfounded that he would do such a thing. I mean, people get hurt playing this game. People have died playing football, and for him to allow someone to take a shot at a teammate, that's crazy.[...]That was my first year in Detroit, so Lomas barely knew me. If he had a problem with me, he could have come to me, man to man, and said so. Be a man about it. But to mess with someone's livelihood like that, to mess with their family and their health, that's reprehensible.Mitchell certainly has a point. Trying to actively injure a teammate is always a dick move, as is bragging about doing it years later. Then again, acting like a dick seems like the best way to stand out and get noticed at ESPN, so maybe Brown is just being a savvy media personality.Previously: The Lions' Lomas Brown Says He Deliberately Let QB Scott Mitchell Get Injured In 1994 Sponsored [USA Today]Reply11 repliesLeave a reply

Well, depends, the cause of death is almost always two: drowning, or crushed by water pressure. The latter only happen when said underwater base is deep enough, and usually the cause of death is oxygen poisoning since the oxygen in your lung is pressed into lethal concentration (then crushed lungs, but the former is far more likely). The first one (which is what most portrayed by medias) can be avoided by ditching yourself outside while equipped with something that float well.
Of course, thats assuming there's no abnormal predators around you

@ Senpai - The narration states it was disabled
"Maybe it had something to do with her IS being disabled? Were the situation less dire, he might have found this odd or intriguing. Anyway, I'm fighting a knight in golden armor using dual shivs:/

Well, I did, alone, with best shop-standard armor (which is not much, as you may know)... the result is obvious. God damned ore shortage.
Speaking of which, now I was reminded of the months-old idea about I.S. being living creature....

It kind of strike me....
Insane troll logic warning: War = Hell and Being surrounded by girls = Paradise/Heaven. where in IS-verse.... girls rules.... Therefore.... Better to reign in Hell (being like a real Man and get very good at war), than serve in Heaven (being submissive to the girls)? Random idea stuff... Spoiler for Mad science:

Various reasons:
> because Infinite Stratos is somewhat mad science? > I provide the reason behind the misnomer for a space suit > by connecting the dots to something familiar which almost everybody know > and explain why the IS development team would hire a teenage nutjob.... (because the man behind the team is a nutjob himself) Finally, > He is based on Cave Johnson.... that man is crazy and awesome at the same time. == I just read Date-A-Life manga.....somewhat I think I can fit similar something in. But it is felt a little disconnected from IS story so.... if I make one, it probably only going to be posted here.

I think I'm finally figuring out how to do IS vs Human fights. The countless deaths in Dark Souls against things bigger than me, with more weapons than me, and infinitely more awesome than me have taught me how to do it.
It's somewhat akin to a bee annoyingly buzzing at a lion and stinging it till it dies.....while the lion's made of metal and can breath fire while the bee has jack squat except being able to dodge.

Its the MIRROR universe after all. Everything's inverted.
Like for example, Phantom Task is a UN-backed IS force sent to intervene against UE as well as unrestricted deployment of IS. IS are everywhere. WAR, is everywhere. And humans are standing on the brink of extinction. Quote:

Scouters love to shoot the breeze about the next campout, newest merit badge, or tastiest recipe.
But when someone brings up a more-sensitive topic at a roundtable or leader meeting, it's often greeted by silence.
That's where the new ScoutCast comes in. The new podcast, a close relative of the popular CubCast, will focus on topics that you might not feel comfortable talking about at roundtable meetings, such as bullying. That's January's subject.
The goal: Get you and your fellow Scouters thinking and, ideally, talking about these critical issues facing Boy Scouts.
The hosts are familiar faces voices to those of us who work for the BSA's magazines. Meet J.D. Owen, editor-in-chief of Boys' Life, Scouting, and Eagle Scout magazines, and Paula Murphey, senior editor of Boys' Life.
For the debut episode, J.D. and Paula chat with New York Times best-selling author Michael Gurian about the best…

Venue Details
Charles Johnson, a brilliant young San Francisco playwright, has written a superb one act dramatic comedy that captures the warmth, depth and respect for friendship between two African American couples.
Jim & Mattie and McCoy & Bessie are two retirement-age couples who harbor love and enduring friendship for each other, a friendship that has lasted for over forty years.
Their story takes place in a rundown apartment building in Chicago's 1976 notorious Southside, where the streets are poppin' and the nights are hot and long. It's a sanctuary for some and a prison for others.
The two couples cope with issues that threaten to tear away at the tightly knit binds that have held African American families together since slaves in the United States became free.
The Hundred Years Warby Holly Kern
An elderly black man, who has never voted, is encouraged by a young white woman to register to vote for the first time. The setting is 1965, during the height of the struggle for Civil Rights in America.

Easter Little Baker's first impression of Pittsburgh when she moved here in 1945 was one of dirty snow.
Pat French and Marlene Todd Robinson remember swimming in the three "filthy" rivers a half-century ago. And Betty Esper recalled the time she couldn't find her car because it was covered in red dust.
Still, "where there was smoke, there was bread," Ms. Esper quoted her mother as saying, even as soot blanketed the mountains of laundry from her family's 13 children hanging outside.
"This dirt means money," is a saying Mrs. Baker, now 87, learned from one of her husband's patients. Her husband, Dr. George Little, was one of the first African-American doctors in Homestead,
It meant the steel mills were in full operation, Mrs. Baker said.
Such tales are the main course, served bittersweet -- heavy on the sweet, light on the bitter -- emanating from the Kitchen Table program, in which four women who either grew up or lived in Homestead recall bygone days.
Called Kitchen Table Stories, the July 15 afternoon event, billed as a "history of Homestead told from a woman's point of view," was held before about 50 people at artspace303 in the borough.
Staged in conjunction with Homestead's Community Day celebration, it was co-sponsored by the Steel Valley Arts Council and the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area.
In March, the four women, all longtime friends, gathered for an evening of similar reminiscences at the Frick Art Museum.
The quartet stage the chatty, listener-friendly presentation as a way to share memories of life in the shadow of the now-silent steel mills in the Mon Valley. They were encouraged to create such a presentation by Janis Dofner, of Rivers of Steel, who knew the women from the work her organization does in Homestead.
Mrs. French, 75; Ms. Robinson, 55; and Ms. Esper, 72, grew up in Homestead and said they were poor by IRS standards, but that they never knew it.
"I didn't know I was poor until someone told me I was," Ms. Robinson said. With a mother, meals and "a place to put my head," her cup runneth over, she said.
"We were poor in material things, but not in our heritage," Ms. Esper said. "We were all rich growing up in Homestead."
She is now mayor of the town.
The vibrant community of the 1940s and 1950s had three movie theaters, two candy shops, two Isaly's stores and numerous bakeries.
Children entertained themselves with street games such as tin can alley and building cars out of orange crates.
An ice cream cone from Isaly's was shared among several friends.
Parents watched out for everyone's children, while youngsters showed respect to their elders, Mrs. French said.
Today, she lives in Mt. Lebanon, and is president of the Bulgarian-Macedonian National Educational and Cultural Center in West Homestead.
While Ms. Esper and Mrs. French agreed race didn't matter within the close-knit community, Ms. Robinson recalled not being allowed to swim in the pool at the local Carnegie Library or at Kennywood Park.
The racial discrimination is still "edgy" for her, she said.
Mrs. Baker, a retired special education teacher for the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, recalled that she was not allowed to accompany childhood friends who were white into soda shops in the segregated Kentucky of the 1940s. Mrs. Baker later moved to Pittsburgh.
Ms. Esper recalled next-door neighbor Mr. Washington telling her he could not be promoted within the mill because he was black. Mrs. French said women, such as her mother, faced the same roadblock in the mills.
Ms. Robinson, who served as president of the borough National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and works on youth-oriented community projects, said the Homestead of today has more transients.
But it is still a close-knit community, she said.
To schedule a Kitchen Table session, call Ms. Dofner at 412-464-4020, ext. 46..

General information concerning termites in Guelph
Origin and extent of termites in Guelph
Subterranean termites are non-native invasive insects that can cause serious structural damage to homes and can be difficult and expensive to control. Termites are wood destroying insects that live in large colonies numbering several million. They forage through the soil and expand the colony's territory as they encounter new wood items to feed on. Termites tend to spread rather slowly, depending on the availability of surface dead wood, at an estimated rate of about 50 feet per year.
Termites were accidentally introduced from the United States to over 30 Ontario municipalities. The termite infestation in Guelph was first detected in the early 1970s near Goldie Mill Park. Currently, in Guelph, there are three designated Termite Management Areas, all on the north side of the City, encompassing 869 properties. Termite populations in the existing management areas have steadily declined and appear to be eliminated on several of the managed blocks.
Preventing the spread of termites
New infestations can become established by the movement of infested wood or soil. Therefore, all residents of the City should be cautious about donating or receiving any wood items that have been sitting outdoors on the ground, such as firewood, landscaping ties, wood sheds, mulch, etc.
Disposal procedure
Residents in Termite Management Areas are required to comply with strict disposal procedures to restrict the potential spread of termites to other areas of the City. The disposal procedure is as follows:
- stack wood in a pile or load wood in a bin in preparation for disposal
- call 519-837-5614 to set up an inspection
- the Termite Control Officer will inspect and write a field report
- deliver wood to transfer station at 80 Dunlop Drive and present the field report to waive tipping fees on the first 500 pounds.
Sale of property
When selling a property in a Termite Management Area, the resident or agent is required to disclose that the property is within a Termite Management Area and obtain a termite inspection report from the Termite Control Officer. The owner or the agent (with written authorization) should arrange the inspection by calling 519-837-5614.
Real Estate Agents responsibilities
- Know where the three Guelph Termite Management Areas are located.
- Ensure disclosure that a property is located within the Termite Management Area.
- Ensure the property has a termite inspection.
- Ensure that prospective buyers are provided a copy of the termite inspection report.
- Ensure that prospective buyers are aware that the City of Guelph has a comprehensive Termite Control Program with which residents in Termite Management areas must comply.
Landscaping and Renovation
Landscaping, renovation and new construction can also be affected in termite areas. New fences should be constructed on non-wood materials or if wood posts are used they must be pressure treated and supported above ground on metal brackets. Retaining walls must be constructed of non-wood materials, not pressure treated wood. In addition, the Ontario Building Code has specifications for construction of new buildings, porches, and decks that pertain to termite infested areas.
Comprehensive Control Strategy
Under the direction of the Termite Control Officer, the City has a comprehensive strategy for termite management and control. This involves inspections, monitoring properties with traps, reduction of termite habitat through yard wood management, area-wide colony level suppressive treatments, and limited utilization of conventional chemical treatments where necessary.
Termite Control Bylaw
Under the City's Termite Control Bylaw, the Termite Control Officer is empowered to enter and inspect properties to investigate for termites and to prescribe measures aimed at controlling and limiting the spread of termites.

When visiting a doctor in Dubai as an expat sometimes we feel the need of a second opinion, just to reassure ourselves but don't know where to go.
In America there is a growing service for Modern doctor house calls, which is an online virtual consultation via Skype chat that gives a fast diagnosis. What you do is type in your symptoms, add a credit card number and within a short amount of time a doctor appears on your screen via Skype, looks you over, asks some questions and in minutes makes a diagnosis.

If you are fasting with Diabetes here are some things to consider:
1) People with diabetes need to go on a special diet during Ramadan
Myth! The good news is if you are already following a balanced diet, as is recommended for everyone, living with Type 2 diabetes or not, then there is a big chance that you do not have to change the ingredients of your diet. In fact you should eat as you normally do, with the only difference being the time you eat your meals, rather than quantity or type of food consumed.
It is very important that anyone living with Type 1 diabetes understands that they are at a higher risk compared to those with Type 2 diabetes when fasting during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
In general, people living with Type 1 diabetes are strongly advised to not fast during Ramadan.
Anyone living with diabetes should consult their doctor before deciding to fast. Read more
Dentists in Dubai are plentiful. Just take a drive along Jumeirah Beach Road and you will witness building after building with sign boards advertising clinics with dentists, and orthodontists.

The most expensive is not necessarily the best it may just be that they are having to pay very high rents for their location.
Fortunately, as Dubai is such a cosmopolitan city it attracts Dentists from all around the world bringing in expertise and new techniques so no resident in Dubai need have bad teeth.
We have put together a list of some of the dentists in town that have been recommended to us! Read more

I had the opportunity to acquire an advance copy of Bertrand Fleuret's soon to be published photographic book, Landmassess and Railways at photo la earlier this month. This was a limited edition (100 each) of a schaden.com imprint of the J&L 2009 Edition, which has a unique hardcover binding.
I find that this book very fascinating on many levels. It is very much out of the norm for what we come to expect within the US for a published photographic book. Perhaps to better call it a photographic story book, sans text. I mean that there literally is almost any text whatsoever. I think that the publisher rescinded and will include a small insert to provide some context for the buyer;
It seems to be the record of a trip. You left the countryside and entered a city. Lost in the layers of construction and decay, you eventually found yourself in an overgrown garden. You remember Sebastian's jungle, the chaos of creation. You remember Solaris and the island in Le Voyeur. It's all very clear, like photographs slipped under your door in a manila envelope. Were you there? What happened? As William Gedney wrote in his notebook, "All facts lead eventually to mysteries."
As to Fleuret's story, it is very much mysterious and abiguous. There are clues that he provides, but Fleuret very much wants you to construct your own story. Whether this is a fictional story, a travel log or something in between, you have to decide. Which also means, do I review this as photographic novel or a photographic monograph?
As a story, once you get your initial orientation, I found it relatively easy and delightful to move through the first two chapters. As such, my own story that I was constructing was proceeding enjoyably well. It was providing some inspirational thoughts of my own.
Towards the end of the second chapter, the discord started to build. I had trouble with the dissident, odd images and flow to be able to maintain a coherent line internal dialog. Which may not have been so bad, but the ending was seemingly flat. As a story, there did not seem to be as clearly defined ending to this story of a trip, as there had been in creating the introduction and setting the stage for the ensuing story.
While reading this book, I was also struck by the similarities between the pace and flow of the book's images and how they reminded me of some recent movie trailers on TV. There is a backgound dialog about the movie, but the image are a series of very brief, not at all sequential, but random stills from the movie, that are trying to create an interest by their juxtaposition. I believe that there is a similarity in the photographic editing and the ensuing effect that Fleuret is attempting to create.
A brief glimpse here, a memory recalled, a long mindless gaze and quickly distracted by another vision by something over there. Life as a series of endless visual vignettes and memories.
Perhaps that is where the mystery increases and the ambiguity mounts and grows. Maybe it is my lack of imagination with constructing an interesting story with the remaining clues that are provided? In some ways, this is similar to a novel that you pick up and as you get into it, you find that you lose interest. For some reason, my bookmark at the first half never seems to progress to it's conclusion. And when you talk with some else, they just can't put it down until the get to the end, and they are fascinated with all of the parts.
The book publishing, in addition to its binding, is also printed in a way that reminds you of a written novel, not a photographic series. Many of the photographs are high contrast images, but printed in a low contrast, flat and almost less than newsprint quality. There are also paintings and other photographs that have been rephotographed, the half tone dot matrix almost concealing the images, again, contribution to the ambguity.
Landmassess and Railways is slated for availability by J&L this Spring, 2009, with 208 pages, duotone printed, 7″ x 9 3/4″ hardcover, with the first edition of 1,000 copies.
Best regards, Douglas Stockdale
Update: I did a major mistake and provided the wrong name to Bertrand's book, my since apologies.

Hello! Yesterday I tried out the "Add Mailfiltering to the Falko howto Postfix Guide" howto. When my mailserver receive a mail ich get following message in syslog: Code: (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop: Unable to create log file. ) Postfix doesn't release the mail until I deativate maildrop. Where is my failure? Nico
I guess it's a problem with your permissions. Please compare your setup again with this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_mailfilter
Hi, yes, it was a problem with the file permissions. /var/log/maildrop.log was not writeable To change the file permissions is not documented in the howto. Another question: Why does this howto doesn't work with quota? @Falko: It is possible that you make a howto for maildrop + quota? Would be very nice! best regards, Nico
I've never tried that tutorial, so I don't know... Maybe. I can put it on my list (which is very long... ).
Next error Argh ... Now, I got following error: Code: maildrop[2094]: Unable to change to home directory. I created a new mail account with the sql command: Code: INSERT INTO `users` VALUES ('yes', [email protected]', 'xxx', 10485760, '/home/vmail/fineware.de/test', 5000, 5000); I sent a mail to [email protected] and received the error below. When i set the dir /home/vmail to 777 than I get the error "maildir doesn't be world-writeable" or something like that. Which file persmission do i have to set? Or where is my fault? best regards, nico
Yes, the maildir doesn't exist. It has to be created automatically when the first e-mail arrives. When I create the maildir manually, all works well. best regards, nico
Maybe the directory permissions are wrong somewhere. Or maybe you can write a script that creates the Maildir for you.
There is a script which creates the maildir. When I execute the script manually, all works well (with root and vmail user). Has there to be an maildrop user? The owner of the "maildir_create_scripte" is the vmail user. The owner of the maildir is the vmail user, too. The user in master.cf is vmail, too. Code: maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop -d ${user}@${nexthop} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender} Do you have an idea?
Hmm... schade. Hätt ja sein können, dass es kein Hotwo spezifisches Problem ist. Noch eine allgemeine Frage an dich: Wenn ein Programm, in meinem Fall jetzt Postfix, mit dem user vmail ein script ausführt dann müsste sich doch linux nicht anders verhalten als wie wenn ich das manuell machen, also als vmail user einloggen und script von hand starten. Oder versteh ich das falsch? Weißt du wer der autor von diesem howto ist? Gruß, Nico
Sorry, you are right. I wrote my last post in german, because my english is very poor and I couldn't phrase it in english. Maybe you can help me although?
That's right. You can find the user name of the author at the top of the tutorial. If you like, you can send him a private message.
Hmmm... Couldn't find the name if the autor in the howto -> http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_mailfilter
Ok, the author is listed at the top of every tutorial except that one... The username of the author is todgerme.

Evie O'Neill has a neat-o party trick: she can uncover details about people by holding any object that belongs to them. After one too many tumblers of gin, she uses this skill to out the sexual misadventures of a prominent bachelor in her Ohio hometown, earning her immediate exile to Jazz Age New York City, where her professorial uncle runs a museum devoted to the occult. Naturally, Evie considers this punishment the luckiest break possible, until she realizes she's arrived just as a demon spirit has been inadvertently released. A spree of grisly murders ensues, eventually necessitating the use of Evie's special skill. Evie is fighting personal demons, as well, including the ghost of her dead older brother and a penchant for alcohol that gets her into continual trouble. Bray empties a wealth of topics into her complicated narrative—labor reform, a steampunkish robotics experiment, flapper culture, religious zealotry—but her trademark humor is less apparent. The large cast—a pickpocket with a missing mother, a Ziegfeld girl with Hollywood dreams, a Harlem numbers runner who longs to be a poet—ensures there's plenty to write about in the sequels. Ages 15–up. (Sept.) ■
BookPage ReviewsFlapper girls and phantoms
The lights and sounds of 1926 Manhattan burst to life in Printz Award-winner Libba Bray's exciting new historical fantasy series.
When 17-year-old Evie O'Neill causes a scandal in her Ohio hometown, her parents banish her to Manhattan to live with her Uncle Will, a paranormal expert and curator at the failing Museum of the Creepy Crawlies. Evie is thrilled to sneak out to illicit nightclubs, drink "hooch" at speakeasies and drag her best friend into trouble every step of the way. When a young girl is sadistically murdered, the lead detective asks Uncle Will for help, but Evie discovers that as a Diviner (a person with supernatural abilities), she is the key to finding the killer.
Interwoven throughout Evie's story are the lives of other Diviners. Memphis is a Harlem numbers-runner who can heal with his hands. Theta is a Ziegfeld girl with a violent gift. Sam is a hypnotic pickpocket who's after Evie's heart. None of them know about each other's powers, but as the series progresses, these dynamic characters will come together to stop a growing evil.
Incredibly haunting and at times frightening, The Diviners is well researched and ambitious. The glitzy nightlife, the kitschy slang and the flapper-girl fashion all invoke the glamour of the Roaring '20s. Readers will love Evie, a fearless and charming protagonist who lights up the book with her carefree attitude and sense of humor. This is Heroes meets the Jazz Age, and one could divine it will be the next big series in YA.

Very happy
I had 2 consultations with the doctor for rhinoplasty at his Newstead office. He was professional, confident yet down to earth. He was honest and told me what could and couldn't be achieved and showed me photos of previous patients with similar 'bulbous' tips. He saw me before surgery and reassured me. The only one minor negative would be I would've liked either the doctor or a nurse who was...

I cannot fault Dr Broadhurst or the Enhance team. Taking my top off in front of someone is an extremely nerve racking situation for me, but he put me right at ease. He is extremely professional and made sure I felt as though I was in good hands reassuring me along the way. With my medical condition (T1DM), my size, body shape and active lifestyle Dr Broadhurst gave me his professional opinion of what size implants he believed were safest and best suited. And he was spot on! The ladies at Enhance have also been extremely helpful. I called and messaged a number of times asking question after question which was always replied to promptly and professionally. Holly the nurse has been extremely helpful post op and very professional.

The Smoke Sled blazed down the race course at
Pomerelle's very first Box Car Derby!
The Box Car Derby was held Saturday, March 31st on Spring Creek Run. Competitors used their creativity to build box cars out of ONLY cardboard, tape, string & glue! There were no limits on design with the use of graphics & paint. Kicking off our first Box Car Derby, six box cars raced individually for the fastest time across the finish line.
Third place went to team Cubtastrophy. Their box car was built by three Webelos scouts in 2 hours! Team racers were John & Jaden Paul, from Burley.
Best Presentation (Design) & the $100 prize went to team Fast Food, Melissa Bahr (Twin Falls). Melissa was dressed as an adorable hamburger, and rode a decked-out red snowmobile. Yes, the snowmobile was made of cardboard! It was made with incredible detail, impressing the judges and the crowd!
Pomerelle employees Wendy Pederson, McKayla Jones, Jamie Baily & Hilary Harris worked together to build the Silver Bullet. The name fits their car's sleek lines and massive use of duct tape!

Vision Before Technology
By Marc S. Levitt | Posted 2009-03-25 Email PrintThese nine steps will move your organization toward a more effective Web site rebranding.
1. Start with a plan. A properly executed wireframe—like a blueprint in architecture—shows you how the new Web site will function before it's built. It is far easier to move a wall's placement during the planning stage than an actual wall during the construction phase. The same principle applies to Web sites.
2. Don't be seduced by technology. A Web site that is well-thought-out and easily navigable will always outperform the latest technology in the long run. Hot technological features should be integrated only if they serve the needs of the site. Don't feel you need to include the feature du jour just because everyone else is doing it.
3. Get buy-in from all stakeholders. Too often, we see one person or group push for a Web site overhaul without seeking buy-in from their colleagues. Web site redesigns require an enormous investment of time, and the late entry of a key decision maker undermines the intentions of the group. Anyone worth getting feedback from should be involved during the planning stage.

BALTIMORE — Joseph McGraw had doubts when his friend told him about a first edition of the King James Bible that was sitting in a downtown Baltimore office.
But when the hulking book came off the shelf, the Stevenson University history professor thought, "Wow, that looks pretty old."
Then he opened it and saw the printer's official dedication to the king. "Wow," he said to his friend, "we need to talk."
Almost a year after that conversation, the rare King James edition — there are about 175 in the world — resides in the library at Stevenson, part of a collection of 300 Bibles and related documents from the nonprofit Maryland Bible Society.
The Bibles will serve as a centerpiece collection for the library and as tools for Stevenson students to study such things as historical methods of printing, and the ways churches and laypeople have used the books throughout the last 500 years.
"This is part of what public history is all about," McGraw said, "taking material that can be very dry and bringing it to life. One of the easiest ways to do that is with historical artifacts. They're almost like time machines."
Officials at the Bible Society, based in Baltimore, decided a few years ago that they lacked the space to show off a striking collection of antique editions from across the world. The original King James, for example, was most often kept in the director's office. Other rare Bibles were stashed in out-of-the-way cubbies where no one had seen them for years.
"We realized that the collection needed a better-suited home for its stature," said David Moyer, the Bible Society's executive director.
The society will still own the Bibles under a long-term agreement with the university, which is located in the community of Stevenson, outside Baltimore.
Moyer and McGraw are old friends, so the professor visited the society's office last summer to give the collection a look. That's when he experienced his eureka moment with the King James Bible, which dates to 1611. The Bible is identifiable as a first edition because in the Book of Ruth, a passage refers to Ruth with the pronoun "he" rather than "she." The error was quickly corrected in a second printing.
But the first editions, known as "He" Bibles, are treasured artifacts that sell for six figures on the rare occasions when they hit the open market. Officials from Stevenson and the Bible Society declined to reveal the appraised value of their edition, though they said it was depressed by the presence of repaired and replaced pages that were inserted over the centuries.
"But the very things that would drive down the value are the things I love from a historical standpoint," said Stevenson's chief archivist, Glenn Johnston. "The value to me is that it's not pristine. I can see how it was used."
He flipped to a repaired page to illustrate his point, showing how silk and paste had been used to suture a tear, probably in the 19th century. "I can explain the world better by talking about the imperfections," he said.
The text also features all manner of charming oddities, such as use of the letter "e" at the end of words (the New Testament is the Newe Testament.) Spelling was non-standard at the time, so variations abounded. The front of the Bible features calendars with suggested schedules for daily prayer readings. The famous passage from 1 Corinthians 13, used in many modern weddings, is built around the word "charity" instead of "love."
The Bible Society is 202 years old, and has been chaired by luminaries such as James McHenry, for whom Fort McHenry is named. The society is best known for distributing low-cost Bibles, though its greater mission is to promote the value of God's word in everyday life.
Part of that, Moyer said, is demonstrating the importance of Bibles to societies throughout history. He said that by studying and displaying the collection, Stevenson will aid in that endeavor.
1 comment on this storyMoyer isn't sure when or how the King James first edition came to the society, though the "He" Bible was mentioned in a 1931 article in the Baltimore Sun. Johnston believes the Bible was owned by someone in Hereford, Md., in the early 19th century. "We just don't know which Hereford," he said with a smile.
Moyer said the book carries great symbolic meaning for him because its physical endurance reflects the enduring power of the words within.
"There is an emotional side to it for us," Moyer said.
The King James and other antique Bibles in the collection clearly excite Johnston, McGraw and other historians at Stevenson, who tend to gush when discussing them.
"It could've been handled," McGraw said of the King James, "by someone who shook Shakespeare's hand."

CALLAHAN COUNTY. Callahan County (I-13) is in the Rolling Plains region of Central Texas on Interstate Highway 20 east of Abilene. The county is bounded on the north by Shackelford and Jones counties, on the east by Eastland County, on the south by Coleman and Brown counties, and on the west by Taylor County. The county seat is Baird. The largest town, Clyde, is nine miles east of Abilene and roughly 162 miles west of Fort Worth. The center point of the county is at 32°18' north latitude and 99°23' west longitude. In addition to Interstate 20, the county's transportation needs are served by U.S. highways 80 and 283, State highways 6, 36, 206, 279, 351, and the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Callahan County embraces 899 square miles of grassy prairie. The elevation ranges from 1,500 to 1,900 feet. The county is divided by a low range of hills known as the Callahan Divide, which runs from east to west. The region to the north is in the Brazos River basin, and the area to the south is in the Colorado River basin. Most of the county has light to dark loamy soils with clayey to loamy subsoils. In the southeast the soils are light-colored with loamy to sandy surface layers and clayey subsoils. Between 21 and 30 percent of the land in the county is considered prime farmland. The eastern quarter of the county has vegetation typical of the Cross Timbers and Prairies regions-a variety of grasses, including mesquite grass, red grama, red love grass, tumble grass, and Texas grama, and small stands of trees, including mesquite, post oak, live oak, and pecan. The southwest corner has tall grasses. The remainder of the county has short to mid-height grasses, with some mesquite, juniper, and cacti (see GRASSLANDS). The subtropical and subhumid climate features mild winters and warm summers. Temperatures range in January from an average low of 31° F to an average high of 56°, and in July from 71° to 96°. The average annual rainfall is twenty-five inches. The average annual snowfall is six inches. The growing season averages 230 days a year, with the last freeze in late March and the first in early November. Tornadoes are common in the area. Since its establishment in the last century Callahan County towns have suffered several severe storms, most notably Baird in 1895, Oplin in 1922, and Clyde in 1938 and 1950.
Until the 1870s the county was dominated by Comanche Indians. The area was first explored and described by Dr. Henry C. Connelly of the Chihuahua expedition in 1839–40. Callahan County was formed by the Texas legislature in 1858 from Bexar, Bosque, and Travis counties and named for James Hughes Callahan, a survivor of the Goliad Massacre and leader of the Callahan expedition. Because of the threat of Comanche attack, little permanent settlement took place in the area until after the Civil War. The first white settler to reside in the county was probably James Dulan, a native of Georgia, who built a shelter on Hubbard Creek in 1859 and tended a small herd of cattle. Sometime before November 1863 the Whitten family moved in and established a camp on Deep Creek in the northeastern part of the county. They were followed by the Hittsons and Eubankses, who ranched in both Callahan and Shackelford counties just after the Civil War. The first permanent residence in the county was built by A. A. and Caroline Hart and their four sons, John, Jim, Early, and Jesse, who settled on the South Prong of Pecan Bayou in 1868. They moved to Coleman County shortly thereafter, but returned to Callahan County in 1872 and constructed a double log cabin that for many years was a county landmark.
During the early 1870s a number of other settlers arrived. Most were ranchers, drawn to the area by abundant grazing land. In 1873 John Hittson established the headquarters of his Three Circle Ranch in Callahan County, and in 1874 Jasper McCoy established a ranch on Pecan Bayou. Other early settlers included the Merchant brothers and Dr. J. D. Windham, a physician, who also started a ranch operated by his sons in the southwestern part of the county. Despite the growing population, the threat of attack from hostile Comanches continued during the early 1870s. In 1874 United States troops under Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie defeated the Comanches at Palo Duro Canyon, and the same year Company E of the Frontier Battalion of the Texas Rangersqv, under the command of William J. Maltby, was sent to the area to drive the remaining Indians away. With the danger of Indian attacks over, large numbers of settlers began moving in. By 1875 land promoter Nelson A. Smith established the first town, Belle Plain, near the center of the county. During the mid-1870s Callahan County became a transit area for cattlemen driving their herds to Kansas. On the way to Dodge City the Western Trail ran up the Pecan Bayou valley, passed near Belle Plain, and extended northward by way of the Bar-be-cue Ranch, just east of the site of present-day Baird. The Jacksboro Echo of July 21, 1876, estimated that some 73,000 cattle were driven up the trail in the first part of that year alone, and by 1880 the annual figure surpassed 260,000. The drives ended in the mid-1880s with the coming of the railroads, but they played an important role in drawing settlers to the area (see CATTLE TRAILING).
Between 1858 and 1877, Callahan County was attached successively to Bexar County, Travis County, and Eastland County for administrative and judicial purposes. In 1877 the residents, more than 150 strong, signed a petition requesting the organization of Callahan County. At the election of July 3, 1877, Callahan City became the first county seat, a position the town retained only until the election of October 13, 1877, when Belle Plain was voted in as the new county seat. Belle Plain showed signs of rapid growth, and a number of settlers moved there in anticipation of the railroad; by 1878 it had a population of more than 100, and by 1880 the number of residents had grown to nearly 300. In 1880–81 the Texas and Pacific Railway was constructed from Fort Worth to El Paso. Stations for the railroad were located at Putnam, Baird, and Clyde, all of which soon developed into towns, but bypassed Belle Plain six miles to the north. An election on January 16, 1883, made Baird the new county seat. Belle Plain soon declined; the stone jail and many of residences were moved to Baird, and by 1897 only four families remained. The construction of the railroad also opened the way for numerous new settlers. During the 1870s and 1880s several communities formed, including Cottonwood, Atwell, Cross Plains, Caddo Peak, Eagle Cove, and Eula. More settlers continued to arrive during the 1890s, and by the turn of the century there were post offices in Oplin, Tecumseh, Denton, Dressy, Admiral, and Dudley. In 1880 the county population was 3,419; by 1890 it had grown to 5,274.
During the 1880s extensive farming was introduced. Settlers from East Texas began farming in the area around Cottonwood in the mid-1880s, raising cotton, oats, and various varieties of fruit. A severe drought in 1886–87 ruined crops and caused some to wonder if the region was suited to agriculture, but by the late 1880s the farming economy had recovered and was rapidly expanding. Between 1880 and 1890 the number of farms in the county grew from 346 to 518, and by 1900 it had increased to 1,176. During the late nineteenth century corn was the largest crop; by 1900 Callahan County farmers were producing more than 300,000 bushels a year. Wheat and oats were the other main crops; in 1900, 13,450 bushels of wheat and 44,560 bushels oats were harvested. In the early 1890s large-scale cotton production was also introduced, and during the first two decades of the twentieth century cotton became one of the county's leading crops. In 1890, 7,640 bales were ginned; by 1910 that figure had jumped to 52,467, placing Callahan County among the leaders in cotton culture in the state.
Despite the impressive growth of agriculture, however, ranching continued to form the mainstay of the economy. The total number of cattle in the county during the period from 1890 and 1930 ranged between 25,000 and 35,000. Most were beef cattle, although dairying became more popular after the turn of the century, and for a time the county was a major producer of butter. Some ranchers tried their hands at raising sheep in the 1880s and 1890s-the number of sheep in the county was reported at 6,818 in 1880 and 6,487 in 1890-but by the turn of the century most ranchers had sold their flocks, and in 1910 only fifty-six sheep were recorded. During the first three decades of the twentieth century many farmers raised hogs. After 1900 chickens also were raised in large numbers: 54,246 in 1910 and 73,138 in 1930.
The population grew from 8,768 in 1900 to 12,973 in 1910. After 1910 the pace of growth slowed, and by the mid-teens it had begun to decline. It fell to 11,844 by 1920. Growth in the number of farms was steady at the beginning of the century, as more settlers arrived, lured by the prospect of plentiful land. By 1905 county farms numbered more than 1,600, three times as many as in 1890. Land prices, however, also increased, and many newcomers could not buy land. As a result, the number of tenant farmers grew steadily, until by 1920 nearly half the farmers-823 of 1,649-were tenants. Most were sharecroppers, who farmed the land in exchange for a share of the harvest. In contrast to tenants in many parts of the state, however, virtually all of the Callahan County tenants were white; in 1910 there was only a single black tenant in the county (see FARM TENANCY).
Many of the county's farmers, both tenants and owners, were heavily indebted, and with the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s a large number experienced hard times. Falling agricultural prices, combined with a boll weevil outbreak and the unwillingness of most banks to extend additional credit, forced many farmers off the land. By 1940, 1,200 active farmers were left, down more than 600 from the peak in 1910. The downturn in agriculture was partially offset by the discovery of oil in the county in 1923. A number of promising fields were soon located, including the Cross Plains Townsite, Pioneer, Cross Cut, and Blake fields, and by the late 1920s the oil business was in full bloom. Oil and gas revenues helped some landowners to survive the economic slump of the 1930s and made a few large landowners wealthy.
The period after World War II saw a continuation of the prewar trends. Ranching and farming continued to form the twin pillars of the economy, with the largest proceeds coming from beef and other livestock products. The years after the war saw a trend toward fewer and larger ranches and farms, as well-to-do landowners added to their previous holdings. In 1982, 91 percent of the land in the county was in farms and ranches, with 18 percent of the farmland under cultivation and 4 percent irrigated. That year Callahan County ranked 180th of the 254 Texas counties in agricultural receipts, with 73 percent coming from livestock and livestock products, primarily from cattle. Overgrazing and water problems-erosion, salinity, and a shortage of potable water-had brought about several conservation programs. Principal crops included wheat, oats, hay, sorghums, and peanuts. Other significant agricultural products included watermelons, peaches, and pecans.
Businesses in the county in the early 1980s numbered 174. In 1980, 15 percent of the labor force were self-employed, 18 percent were employed in professional or related services, 13 percent in manufacturing, 21 percent in wholesale and retail trade, and 14 percent in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and mining; 55 percent were employed in other counties; and 1,401 retired workers lived in the county. Nonfarm earnings in 1981 totaled $97,794,000. The industries with the most employment were agribusiness and the manufacture of fabricated metal products. Oil and gas extraction continued to form an important part of the local economy. In the early 1990s oil production averaged a million barrels annually; between 1923 and 1991 crude production totaled 79,523,155 barrels.
The first schools in Callahan County were opened in the 1870s. Among the earliest ones was a private academy in Belle Plain, established in 1877 by Professor and Mrs. W. J. Westmoreland. Belle Plain was also the site of one of the earliest colleges in West Texas, Belle Plain College, which opened in 1881. Another institution of higher learning, Baird College, operated for a brief time around the turn of the century. The first public schools in the county were opened in the mid-1880s. In the early 1990s Callahan County had four school districts with five elementary, one middle, and four high schools. The average daily attendance in 1981–82 was 2,253, with expenditures per pupil of approximately $2,000. Forty-seven percent of the 141 high school graduates planned to attend college. In 1983, 96 percent of the high school graduates were white, 4 percent Hispanic, and 0.1 percent black. Callahan County has generally been staunchly Democratic, although Republicans made advances in the second half of the twentieth century. Of the nine presidential elections between 1952 and 1988, Callahan County voted six times in support of the Democratic candidate and three times for the Republican candidate. In gubernatorial elections since 1952, county voters supported the Democratic candidate in every election except in 1986, when they supported Republican Bill Clements. Of the senatorial elections between 1952 and 1988, Callahan County voted for Democratic candidates in every instance except 1972 and 1984. Democratic officials also continued to maintain control of most county-wide offices. The first organized church in the county was reportedly the Methodist church in Cross Plains, which was established in the 1880s. Other early churches were located in Belle Plain, Clyde, and Baird. In the mid-1980s Callahan County had thirty-one organized churches, with an estimated aggregate membership of 6,505. The largest communions were Southern Baptist, United Methodist, and Church of Christ.
The county's population reached 12,785 in 1960 but fell to 8,205 in 1970. It was 10,992 in 1980 and 11,859 in 1990. As of 2014, the population was 13,513. That year more than half the residents lived in Baird (1,582), Clyde (3,754), Cross Plains (1,028), and Putnam (98). Anglos constituted 87.4 percent of the population, Hispanics 8.8 percent, and African Americans 1.5 percent. Among the county's attractions are the Callahan County Pioneer Museum and a number of historic houses, including the home of the creator of Conan the Barbarian. Recreational activities include hunting, lake activities, and the old settler reunion, held each July.

Great work !
Under the guise of his bleep-happy studio alias Clockwork, Henry Steinway steps up to preview a new two-track EP for Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records titled 'Surge'.
With titanic surges of bass in full effect, title track 'Surge' takes the lead with resonant synth work and chugging Electro House builds alongside the voice of self-professed dirty talker Wynter Gordon. On the flip, 'Tremor' extends on the wizardry that pervaded his remix of Congorock's 'Bless Di Nation' for an equally stellar B-side of his signature misshapen chord play.
Out February 12th.
22 Comments to "Preview: Clockwork – Surge EP"
