A simply beautiful, peaceful retreat
My wife and I were, we think, one of the first people to stay at La Libelula when it came on the market as a holiday rental in 2012 (the date of the review is wrong because it doesn't let us post so long afterwards), and we are writing this review after looking through our photos. It is absolutely beautiful, very peaceful, a truly wonderful getaway. The pool is spectacular and all the facilities (cooking, washing etc) completely up-to-date. There are ample shops in Orgiva and wonderful daytrips if you have a car. Our only comment was that a comprehensive guide to Orgiva would have been useful - but we are completely sure that it will be there now! Do go there.
Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing
This was our second visit to Finca Libelula in the last 2 years. It stuck such a cord with us the first time that we had to come back again. The place is beautiful, peaceful and perfect for relaxing or using as a base for more active pursuits. It is done to a high standard: sympathetic décor inside with nice natural materials, light rooms, and an extremely well equipped kitchen for those who like to cook. The garden has plenty of spaces to sit and relax in amongst a riot of colourful flowers and there are plenty of fresh herbs growing to cook with. Once you have tried the salt water swimming pool, you'll never want to go in a chlorinated one again.
The selection of books, DVDs (children's ones as well) is very good, the fact that beach/pool towels are provided is a big bonus for a lighter luggage load – more space for something else. The place is great for adults and for people with children as well. Our 4 and now 6 year old loved it, especially the pool and climbing frame; she had great fun looking for wildlife amongst the rocks and garden. I am sure we will be back a third time
All supplies can be obtained in Orgiva itself. Seek out the little bakers, butchers, and fish mongers – shop from them! On market day be sure to find the roast chicken man. Go driving high up into the mountains for spectacular views.
Fantastic Finca
We found this place to be a beautifully converted rural property with wonderful unrestricted views of the rugged Alpujarras mountains. This accommodation sits unobtrusively within a wooded hillside terrace, surrounded by attractive landscaped gardens. There are a variety of patios at different levels including around a refreshing salt water swimming pool. Inside we found the property very clean, well equipped and tastefully appointed, and for those who are just happy to chill out, this place has just about everything. As keen walkers it is also well placed for the High Alpujarras and the Sierra Nevada, but there are good walks literally on the doorstep too. Highly recommended.
Activity and Interests
The closest beach is approx 30 mins drive away in Salobrena, although when driving either east or west along the Costa Tropical there are many other options.
The nearest airport is Granada, which is about 1hr away, but international flights to this airport are limited. Malaga airport is well served from the UK and is 110 km from Orgiva (approx 2hrs from the property).
The house is located on the Tijola road approximately 6 kilometers from the small town of Orgiva. The last kilometer of the approach is on an unmade road, which is passable in a normal car.
Further Details:
Walkers will find the famous GR7 walking route close by & nature lovers will delight in the unspoiled views & huge variety of bird life to visit this part of the mountains.

Doing Our Civic Duty
Today we went to vote early. It was INSANE!! We parked downtown, didn't have enough change to plug the meter, but went anyway, naively thinking it wouldn't take that long. Wrong! We had to make our way downstairs, get in one line to get paperwork, another line to hand in the paperwork, and yet one more to get our ballots. Then we had to stand in line after voting to get our envelope signed. It took a long time, but Ingrid was awesome, flirting with everyone from the front pack and just enjoying herself. I am so proud of everyone for standing in line without getting irritated. If you're not going to vote early, remember to go on November 4th!! Go Obama!!

Nature Walk!
Today we went to Wehr Nature Center and took a walk. It was a windy day, but Ingrid seemed to have fun. She mostly just sucked on her mittens.

Five Months Old!
Ingrid is five months old now, and boy how big she is!! She got weighed when she went to the doctor's a couple weeks ago and was 15 1/2 lbs, so the stage 2 nipples seem to have worked! She is also eating her cereal and food very well now. Instead of spitting everything out, she actually opens her mouth and swallows the food. So far she really likes sweet potatoes and bananas. She is almost sitting by herself, she just has to get the balance thing down.

Fun at a Farm
We went to the Family Farm this weekend with Peter and Carl. Ingrid got to see goats, donkeys, cows, chickens, and a huge horse who scared the crap out of me by sticking his head out his door when Brendan took her near him. I thought he might like an Ingrid snack, and I didn't much care for the idea. Next year should be even more fun when she'll be running around and can go on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch!

What great collection of toys and fire truck.. Any one will be amazed at the volume and guality of toys and trucks. A must see to be believed.
If you are a toy collector or into fire trucks this is a place to visit. We had a guided tour through the place by a knowledgeable person. It was quite an unique experience. They have real classical firetruck too. We loved our visit
Enjoyable for kids as well as adults, this museum includes a large collection of fire trucks of all shapes and sizes. It also boasts a large collection of toy fire trucks as well. The owner is a local collector and he has an extensive collection displayed here. In addition, there is a section of the museum devoted to clowns. He... More
We stopped in on the 12th. My 4 year old grandson even wore his fire hat for the visit. The owner was very cordial and if my grandson had a longer attention span we would have stayed longer. What a collection of toys and memorabilia!
I went with a group of school kids. So much to see and learn. I will definitely be there again. Being in the fire service, I was like a little kid in a candy store.
Jimmy has done a marvelous job assembling the exhibits. Multiple visits are possible as there is much to see and many historical avenues ro explore.
Our tour was conducted by the owner. He has an unlimited array of stories and facts. Great fun for all.
We went while visiting the SSEdison. Very memorable and would strongly recomend you watch the video. Loved all the types in the cases.
Very well displayed - tastefully done. Each room carries along with it a story that is well told by owner Mr. Dobson, an elderly man with an interesting history including the fact that he was a professional clown for 30 years. Cost is 7.00 pp and collection is the largest in the world. If this type of thing interests you,... More
A very nice personal collection of toys and firetrucks. The FDNY super pumper is the diamond of the collection. The only downside is the closeness of some of the apparatus. But well worth the trip to see.

I made this piece early on in the semester and while I wasn't ever originally planning on having one of the final products be photographs, but during my critique I was wearing this sweater and I really loved how they looked together and how everyone's first reaction in the class was to stick their head through it! So I think the final products are both the sculpture and these photographs.
The design that's drawn and cut out of the strip is this greek meander, which I drew from that pattern I saw at the mausoleum of Galla Placidia, remember?
I have quite a few phots, which is/are you favorites? I'm going to need to pick one to be the main image for portfolios and my website and such, let me know what you think! And so sorry for the ridiculous lack of updates, I've had a really busy few weeks and I've been boring.

- I am a college English instructor, as well as an independent writing consultant.
- Television, books, movies, music, and travel are some of my favorite diversions. I like things that are quirky, like the tv show Twin Peaks or the music of Ben Folds or Regina Spektor. Two of my favorite vacations of the past few years have been to Disney World (it's not just for kids!) and San Francisco (great city!).
- My blog does not have one theme or focus. I am sure I could have filled pages and pages with my theories about Lost, or about the demise of the English language from the rampant instant messaging that has infiltrated our culture, but instead I decided on a smorgasbord of pop culture. For a sampling of topics, go to Eclaire's Faves page.
- The pop culture I am interested in does not include gossip about celebrities having meltdowns, serving prison time, ruining their careers, getting married for the seventh time, etc. I don't care about the personal lives of these actors and musicians. I'm more interested in the characters they portray, or the music they create. So, that is what you will find as you peruse the pages of Eclaire Fare. A little music, some literature, a pinch of travel, and heaping helpings of tv, movies, and "old school" shout outs. I'm a child of the '80s and an aficionado of the '90s.
- Eclaire vs. Eclair – In case some of you are wondering why I misspelled "eclair," let me assure you that I know that the tasty pastry does not end with an "e." However, my middle name, Claire, does end with an "e," and my first name begins with an "e" – thus is born the "eclaire." I felt the need to clarify since I am a former contestant in the National Spelling Bee. (Yes, that was my 15 seconds of fame on CNN – before the Bee became a highly touted competitive event on ESPN. But I never studied the dictionary!)
- Enjoy! – I hope you are able to find something that suits your tastes as you sample these pages, whether it's a timeline of tv days of yore, a list of the best or worst movies, some tips for traveling, etc. Leave comments in response to what you find, and make suggestions for any pop culture topics you'd like to see a list, rant, or rave about so I can cater to a variety of interests.

Best of luck with your new blog – you have good taste in television! Paul
I'm Emily's mom and I want to comment that Emily is a very good writer. I remember when she wrote a story about a fish ? and it was published by a friend who had a new magazine for No. Central Louisiana. It was a prophecy of things to come!
I like your blog, and I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in an online Hulu Awards Ceremony.
If you join the panel, you will be asked to nominate Hulu clips and shows for awards in a variety of categories. Then, you'll be asked to vote on a short list of nominees.
Please either email me with subject line: Hulu Awards, or post a comment on my blog. In your response, please include your name and website (I'm contacting a slew of bloggers).
Thanks for your time;
Hi! I love that you love Twin Peaks. I wish you were still an active blogger! Come back and post! I will co-write with you if you want!

For the rest of our top ten dogs, it was a hit and miss week. Let's start with the dog missing in action, the number eight dog, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, CH Coventry Vanity Fair. Carly was conspicuously absent from the shows this weekend. She will certainly fall to the number ten spot, or lower, when all of the September numbers have been tallied. Our number seven dog, the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, also had a rough weelend. On Saturday Sadie was surprised in the breed by another very good Scottie, CH Blueberry's Attitude Dancing, at the Burbank KC show in Burbank, CA. Sadie rebounded on Sunday to win the breed and a Group one.
Also at the Burbank double header was our number six dog, the Affenpinscher, CH Tamarin Tug. Taser had started the week in upstate New York with four other top ten dogs, but after going Group two on Thursday decided to try his luck closer to home, It proved to be a smart choice as he went Group one on Saturday and BIS on Sunday. Saturday's BIS winner was the Bloodhound, CH Quiet Creek's Mi Amor, bred and owned by Susan LaCroix Hamil & Evelyn Jones and handled by Bruce Schultz. Our applause for their first Best.
The four top dogs the stayed behind in Romulus, NY had a mixed bag. The most successful was number two dog, the Pointer, CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry. Holly went Group one on Thursday & Friday and BIS on Saturday and Sunday. The number one dog, the Giant Schnauzer, CH Galilee's Pure Of Spirit, and the number ten dog, the Scottish Deerhound, CH Jaraluv Ouija, each took home a BIS prize, Spirit on Thursday and Ouija on Friday, but were left out of the Group placements on Saturday. They did take Group ones at the remaining shows. The number five dog, the Brussels Griffon, CH Cilleine Masquerade, was consistent, taking first in all four Toy Groups.
The remaining top ten dog, the Sealyham Terrier, CH Efbe's Hidalgo At Goodspice, spent a three day weekend in Millwood, VA. On Friday, Charmin wiped out the competition, going BIS at the Warrenton KC show. Saturday, he stood by and watched the Standard Schnauzer, CH Charisma Utopia Von Rocky, take the top prize. Rocky was bred by Constance C Adel, is owned by Robert & Lois Ann Bedford of Livermore, CA , and is handled by Jody Paquette. We tip our hat to them all. Sunday, Charmin was at the Old Dominion KC show. This time it was the Old English Sheepdog, CH Reflection's Delovely, bred and owned by Marti & Jack Harrison & Tim Cujdik., Salisbury, MD, taking the BIS.
CH Reflection's Delovely
This was also the first Best In Show for Ellie. She is a very young bitch, less than two years old, and obvioulsy has a tremendous career ahead of her. Kudos to all.

Over recent years, indigenous sprinters have been made to look rather pedestrian by those schooled in other hemispheres, and yet another Australian speedball, Star Witness, is favourite to win the King's Stand Stakes at Ascot today. His connections have a novel excuse for a disappointing run last time, that he did not take kindly to an adjacent Top Gear roadshow, and any dual Group One winner Down Under is demonstrably entitled to be competitive against our rabble.
At 20-1, however, an each-way interest is warranted in Group Therapy (3.05). He has improved steadily with maturity, and the progress he made between first and second starts for a new stable suggest a new peak to be imminent.
Wesley Ward famously discovered a parallel deficiency of speed in British juveniles a couple of years ago and can give the Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith a memorable new experience in the Windsor Castle Stakes –following a surreal reconnaissance at Folkestone – with Gentlemens Code (5.35). The day's warmest recommendations, however, are reserved (see Turf Account, right) for Veiled (5.00) and Power (4.25).
Turf Account
* Chris McGrath's Nap
Veiled (5.00 Ascot)
Much improved over timber since joining Nicky Henderson, and duly contributed to his excellent record in this sphere when restored to the level off a lenient mark at Newmarket. Though raised 8lb, she was strongest at the line and could improve again over this extreme distance.
* Next best
Power (4.25 Ascot)
A bit of a minefield, admittedly, with so many improving youngsters in opposition, but this one got away with a drop to 5f despite still looking green last time, and his debut win over this trip has worked out well. Physique and home reputation both guarantee further progress.
* Where the money's going
Zigato has been in demand with William Hill for the Ascot Stakes today, 4-1 from 13-2, and Roman Soldier is 14-1 from 20-1 for the Coventry. Last year's runner-up, Society Rock, is 20-1 from 25-1 for the Golden Jubilee Stakes on Saturday.

A study prepared for the TUC estimates that nearly 40,000 jobs will be lost in both Greater London and the South-east alone. Other areas to be hard hit, according to Warwick, are Scotland, where 29,000 redundancies are expected; the North-west, where 27,000 jobs are predicted to go; and the West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humberside, where 21,000 face the dole.
Bill Morris, general secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, yesterday said that widespread industrial action was now inevitable in the wake of Kenneth Clarke's Budget, in which he indicated that public sector pay increases over the next three years must be linked with increased productivity. Public sector unions, which last year protested over a 1.5 per cent pay ceiling, are attempting to organise a one-day 'general strike' in April.
Launching a TGWU pamphlet, The Big Squeeze, in London, Mr Morris said that one in four workers would suffer either directly or indirectly from Mr Clarke's policy. In places that were heavily dependent on the public sector, spending power could be reduced by up to a third, he said.
He predicted an explosion of anger next April when tax rises feed through to wage packets and salaries are frozen. The union would seek 'a coalition of service users and service providers'.
The main flashpoints would be in local government, the civil service and the National Health Service when pay negotiations started in March.
The union's report said: 'Thousands in the private and service sectors will lose their jobs if public servants suffer pay cuts and cannot spend their money buying British goods and in locals pubs, clubs and shops.'
Mr Morris said that morale among 5.8 million public servants would be damaged, leading to big recruitment and retention problems. The policy would also have a disproportionate impact on women and part-time workers.
The TGWU pamphlet complains that the same pay restraints are not being applied in private firms, particularly for senior executives and companies that donate money to the Conservative Party.
The union will ask local authorities to convene meetings of workers and members of the public throughout next year to support public services and public servants' pay.
Jack Dromey, the union's national secretary for public services, said governments had always got away with the first year of pay restraint but had come unstuck later. 'History and this Government's growing unpopularity are on our side. The public sector pay policy is doomed to failure,' he said.

One of my favorite parts of teaching preschool in Japan were the field trips. This group of three year olds were so incredibly curious about this robot. They'd push a control, and run over to the robots face, squealing with glee. I remember them having a conversation about what he would eat for lunch (it was just before their lunch time and I could tell they were hungry). One speculated "numbers", another "fire", and the last, "rice, stupids."

Divers on target for Cheltenham
Murphy star aimed at HQ feature
Last Updated: 12/10/11 10:49am
Divers (far side) set for Cheltenham return
Cheltenham Festival winner Divers is on course for next month's Paddy Power Gold Cup at Prestbury Park.
The Middleham trainer intends giving his progressive seven-year-old, a winner at the Festival in March, a prep run at Carlisle on October 30.
He said: "Divers will go for the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase at Carlisle before running in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. He's well and training well at home.
"He worked last week and it went reasonably well with Graham Lee coming up. He went up the five-furlong gallop twice.
"He looks great, but I wouldn't want to go to the Paddy Power without a run beforehand as most of mine have been coming on for their first run."
Divers is a 12-1 chance with the sponsors for the big Cheltenham race on November 12.
Paddy Power Gold Cup, sponsors betting: 5-1 Mon Parrain, 10-1 Wishfull Thinking, 12-1 Divers, Great Endeavour, Realt Dubh, 14-1 Flat Out, Loosen My Load, Noble Prince, Quel Esprit, 16-1 bar.

Ockleford, C. D. (2010) The allo-epi-endothelial lining of the intervillous space. Placenta, 31 (12). pp. 1035-1042. ISSN 0143-4004
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
An unusual monolayer of cells lines the interface between the basal plate and the intervillous space in human term placenta but not the chorionic villi. Our recent descriptions of it are based on advanced microscopy, phenotyping and cytogenetic approaches. The papers show that the layer is partly epithelial (ectoderm) and partly endothelial (mesoderm): it is partly derived from the fetus and partly from the mother. This first accurate description of a naturally occurring human allo-epi-endothelium (monolayer of cells derived from two embryological germ layers and two individuals) is of interest in anatomy, obstetrics and gynaecology, developmental biology, histology and immunology. The most extensive evidence for this mosaic applies to the intervillous space lining layer of the basal plate where the endothelial proportion is of the order of 50%; it extends throughout central, intermediate and peripheral parts of the basal plate and is a consistent feature of the intervillous space lining of the chorionic plate also. Its presence lining chorionic plate is noteworthy as it includes the furthest parts of the sinus from the supplying and draining vessels which are endothelial lined.

The Majority Of Self-Published Writers Make Less Than $500 [Headlines]
EL James hit it big with 'Fifty Shades of Gray,' but other independent, self-published authors usually aren't so lucky.
While self-publishing can be lucrative, like for EL James, whose self-published 'Fifty Shades Of Gray' has been successful she received a six-figure advance for a movie deal, the average self-published author made only $10,000 last year. In a survey of 1,007 self-published authors, half made less than $500 on their titles. Guardian

Personal Information
Personal Bio
My name is Donna and I'm from Manchester UK.
I've always loved weird and wonderful hobbies and interests, and people too.
Cosplaying is a great way for me to show my individuality around my local neighbourhood and a great ways to meet new friends. If you'd like to talk or chat, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Cosplay Bio
(Taken from Cosplay.com)
-What got you into cosplay?
By investing in a sewing machine and thinking to myself how I could have so much fun and take my artwork to a whole new level. I studied A Level Textiles and thought I would brush up on my skills again and try my hand at cosplaying.
-What was your first costume and why?
Alucard from Hellsing. The first costume I made with my sewing machine! I am not that confident about my body shape and feel I can pull of cross-playing more successfully.
-What is your favorite costume and why?
My Scorpion costume! I love the colour of it and he's my favourite Mortal Kombat character.
-Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Well, it all depends on how I look at the time. I'm finding it difficult to cosplay as a woman with black hair and glasses so I have to adapt my image to suit. Ruby Moon from Cardcaptors would be a wonderful challenge, or Sir Interga from Hellsing. And I'd like to try and cosplay as more male characters too.
-What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Without a doubt my first London Expo experience in October 2008. Such a huge event and made me feel at home amongst other cosplayers. Now I challenge myself every time to make new and exciting costumes.
-Do you participate in masquerades?
My first masquerade experience was at London Expo October 2009. It was pretty scary but being a ninja disguised all my fears!
-What was your best masquerade experience?
Well, I've only done it once! Maybe I can prepare next May 2010 if I can pull off my latest costume....
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I've been photographed for a cosplay book to be published in the near future, and most recently, a Neo Magazine Cosplay Corner Award, and published in their magazine.
Tell us a little about yourself
I work full time, which can have its hindrances to making costumes really. I would love to spend all day making a costume, but alas, I cannot. I studied Textiles and Art and Design at College and Illustration with Animation at University and now I like to cosplay for fun. I've even talked my cousin and fiance into doing it too! I'd love to make more costumes, it's just the planning and making all the different parts that takes the time.
-Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Sonic the Hedgehog is my Hero XD
-My favorite anime
Hellsing, Cardcaptor Sakura, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro
-My favorite game(s)
The Legend of Zelda series- mainly Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, American McGee's Alice, 90's Sonic the Hedgehog, Professor Layton series, Phoenix Wright, Tetris, Fable the Lost Chapters, The Thief Series (OMG Thief 4!!), FF7, Pokemon Red, Cooking Mama, Streets of Rage 2
-My favorite book(s)
The Harry Potter series oh yes. Meaning that's probably all I read XD
-My favorite character(s)
OMG Ganondorf, Sonic the Hedgehog, Princess Sally Acorn, Scorpion, Sakura Avalon, Jack Sparrow, Spongebob, Alucard, Ash Ketchum, Heath Ledger's Joker (nurse Joker ftw!)
-My favorite movies(s)
Twilight, Harry Potter, Pan's Labyrinth, Toy Story, The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Interview with the Vampire, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight
-My favorite actors/actresses
Jason Isaacs, Hugh Laurie, Alan Rickman, William Peterson

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Overnight Massacre
There was an overnight massacre in Madison last evening. The Joint Finance Committee met behind closed doors discussing, and passing, the majority of items that hadn't yet been discussed by the committee.
The legislature has, for its own reasons, removed itself from the open meeting laws that prevail for our villages and cities and counties. It did that so that it could do exactly what it did last night. The majority, Democrats, knew, full well, what they were up to, and they knew, full well, that the vast majority of the state's citizens wouldn't be paying attention.
Among the things that have now been approved, and that will be sent to the full legislature sometime between now and June 1st, are significant increases in your costs of automobile insurance caused by the combination of an increase in the minimum coverage levels and by the new "joint and several liability" rules that prescribe that if you are at least 20% at fault, you can be tasked to pay 100% of the damages if you're the only one with deep pockets. That will also curtail or end ski hills, and snowmobiling across private property and hunting on private lands, and on and on and on.
Virtually everything we buy, including necessities, will be increased in price. Localities may well be forced into untenable positions meaning that significant cutbacks and/or property tax increases can be on the immediate horizon.
This overnight massacre included the final approvals of a 7% increase in state spending in the face of a recession that has, and will continue, to reduce state tax revenue collections. While trumpeting the "huge" cuts that were made, the Democrats have actually positioned us to end up in even worse shape for the next biennium than we are in at the end of this biennium.
All of this can be placed squarely at the feet of the Democrat-controlled Senate, the Democrat-controlled Assembly and the Democrat Governor, Jim Doyle. These are the results of an electorate that decided, in the voting booth, to give the Democrat party the absolute control over their lives for at least the next two years. The "at least" phrase in the last sentence is intentional since redistricting comes up again in 2010, and the controlling party will certainly gerrymander the voting district boundaries to its benefit.
Maybe we have learned another lesson that will last for a few years; or, maybe not. At any rate, we are in the process of getting what we voted to get last time around. And, we got it in the dark of night behind closed doors.
By the way, the Democrats have a golf outing this morning at 9:30AM so they can collect some more money for their campaign coffers. It truly has been "open season" on the electorate; and, this is just the beginning since we have similar issues confronting us from Washington where the Democrats also control everything.
It is simply not healthy to give control to a single political party; the "check and balance" theory goes out the window. Neither party can be trusted with total control; they simply seem unable to help themselves, and thus they damage us because they only know "spending", not "saving". They only know how to "take" our money in evermore novel ways, while they use verbal obfuscation to make us think otherwise.
This is pure, unadulterated Bull feces!

Tell me about portable browsers...
Portable browsers are often recommended as a security tool when using public computers at a library, internet cafe etc. You load portable versions of Firefox, Chrome etc. from your own computer onto your own flash drive, then insert the flash drive into the public computer, and theoretically whatever you do on that computer is through your own browser. Question: What are the security flaws, if any, in this plan? Does anything you do remain on the public computer when you remove the drive? Does a portable browser defeat a keylogger or packet sniffer? What does a portable browser do to make me safer, and what does it NOT do?

I think the biggest flaw with that plan is that you often won't have access to the USB ports, and if the owner of the public computer is unwise enough to expose the USB ports to the public, taking your own flash drives and running software from them is definitely frowned upon.
A portable app should not leave any trace on the host computer, though it may produce some temporary files. It will not protect you against keyloggers or packet sniffers, but a portable browser does allow you to take your own favourites/bookmarks with you and won't write cookies to the host computer. All in all, using portable apps on a public computer is never going to be a great security protection for you, and a huge security risk to the host computer's owner. Portable apps are for use on the computers of friends you trust, and who trust you. |

Um, what? If you want security you use encryption, like through an https:// site?
Do you mean 'security' in that you are not leaving a track in the history of the installed browser? Because unless you are using a tunnel or a proxy site, the data is going to be somewhere, like in the router tables. I really don't see many google hits for this. IMO, the main benefit to portable programs is convenience on your own machines. Say I have a really boogered up machine, I can use a portable anti malware program without using the boogered up network connections. If you are trying to do something on a public computer you don't want to leave traces, that a portable browser really won't help. It will give you a browser that is not installed. But it won't let you subvert firewalls or filters. |

It also won't protect you from keyloggers looking at your sites and the IDs and passwords you type.

I have used library computers that allowed me to use a USB flash drive for downloading material. I've never tried to run software from a USB drive on a public computer. Picking up malware from the public computer is certainly a risk if you do this.
Best for your security and flexibility would be to have a bootable USB drive with your own OS on it. There are a number of Linux distributions that can be installed to a bootable USB drive (I have done this, but not for use on a public computer.) OTOH, the owner of a public system would have to be pretty clueless to leave the computer configured to allow you to boot from USB. Also, depending on how their network is configured, and whether your portable OS supports the public computer's NIC or wireless adapter, you might not actually be able to get on their network, and the internet. Of course, it is still entirely possible that the owner of the computer could filter or snoop your internet traffic from elsewhere on the network, unless you do everything over https or other encrypted protocol. |

The internet radio does not work. After connecting to wlan I get the message "The Internet server is not available at the moment. Try later" (German orig: Der Internetserver ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar. Versuchen Sie es später).
This error always occurred sometimes. But now it is persistent. I get this message for months.
What can I do?

Atheists have rightfully rejected Christianity, as they know it.
The Christianity of the New Testament cannot be found today.
There are no miracles.
There are no true tongues spoken, only unintelligible gibberish.
There is no love, only on Holidays.
The Clergy is lustful and wicked.
False doctrines and traditions have been assimilated:
All of the above comes from man in complete defiance of what is written.
These people are not blessed with any power, because what they do is a complete lie.
Then to the casual observer; "Oh my, looked at all the bad things happening to good Church going people, there can't be a God"
Well sometimes good Church going people get what they deserve.
Atheist are the Diogenes of their time carrying a Lantern looking for a honest man,
and bring all things to the test.
I think the monk types who live in solitary confinement and walk around with sandals and walking stick with one robe live perfectly the new testament.
Do not have any Earthly possessions except what is absolutely necessary.
Help all people and do good deeds. But do it anonymously for God is the only one who needs to know.
Praise God as much as possible.
I have never met any Christian who lives by these rules. If I did I would probably respect them a lot , believe it or not.
The really funny thing is when I mention this to Christians , they say 'That life is impossible and God surely does not expect it.'
Upon which you can only tell them about the Jains ... And monks ... and many other factions of religions. These people do this for the sake of truth and philosophical insight / enlightenment - Not because they want to get to Heaven as some cheap reward.
I still love Ghandis quote. "I like your Christ but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
I would agree with you regarding respect for the classical 'monk' christian. Anyone who can follow a creed of humility and selflessness, living on the bare minimal, deserves respect as a person as they have shown great will power that I cannot match. It still does not make me agree with their religious beliefs but they have achived something that I could never achive and that deserves some respect.
I like the Ghandis quote too athough I would not agree with everything the scriptual christ said.
Any explanation you receive must be rejected without evidence to avoid the mass deception. But I will share my belief. In a prior post I explained that Christ is the perfection and completion of the symbolic ceremonies, observances and priests of the Temple. Since all these things are foreshadows of the Melchezedek Priest. which by definition has neither beginning of life nor end of days but forever abides a high priest.
The blood of goats, bulls and sheep in truth have no power to remove sin and purge the guilty. It is only a ceremony, a place holder for something better to come in the future. The Jews practiced this for over a thousand years. Once the fulfillment of all things was manifested and rejected by his own people the shadow was removed from the face of the earth. As Christ prophesied and confirmed the same prophecy that Daniel wrote 600 years earlier. God will not allow the Jewish people to rebuild the Temple until it is time for the "seventieth week of Daniel". "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place." The prophetic clock in regard to Jerusalem stopped once the Woman the true Church of God, fled into the wilderness as the Dragon poured a sea of humanity into Judea to destroy the Holy Temple in 70 AD, just as Daniel prophesied to the exact year, over 600 year earlier.
When the two olive trees and lampstands before the God of the whole earth, return to Judea and the Temple is rebuilt, then the final week that will close the age of the ungodly will commence.
These olive trees and lampstands are the spirit born of the tribes of Judah and Levi.
For 2600 years the unerring hand of the prophets have accurately foretold the succession of world empires the destructions of Jerusalem and it's Temple , the captivity and return of the Jewish people.
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Before Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he is, unborn in the loins of his father, i.e., The Living Word of God.

Chiral domain walls in ultrathin films
During the last year, we witnessed a break through in the observation and application of chiral domain walls to spintronics. A couple of years ago [1] the presence of chiral domain walls due to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in perpendicularly magnetized structure-inversion asymmetric Fe films on W(110) was theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed by spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy [2]. Using the Bauer-LEEM at Berkeley, Yizheng Wu [3,4] and his group were able to show that these novel types of walls in ultrathin films are a rather general phenomenon and that the chirality or "handedness" of the domain wall can be engineered using different materials, stacking and combinations.
André Thiaville [5] showed that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction stabilizes the domain wall during motion and larger speeds can be sustained till the walker breakdown sets in. How currents excite chiral domain walls and how this fits in into a potential device concept was central to the study undertaken by the Parkin [6] and Beach groups [7]. I think this is an exciting new direction that should be highlighted.

Summary: China attacked! Playing a script from countless action-adventure movies, our political leaders and columnists gear up for bold headlines by screaming for war while they know nothing. It's America. But the info highway gives us information to see beyond the headlines and sort fact from fancy. Here's the latest news about the massive theft of Federal personnel data. It's a follow-up to the post describing the attack and who was at fault.
"Experts, shmexperts. Time for action…. Attribution solid enough for the US government is solid enough."
— Tweets from a man on the street. The kind of American that rulers dream of having.
- Dueling US officials.
- About attribution of attacks.
- What we know.
- For more information.
(1) Dueling US officials
From the initial announcement of the theft of files from the Federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM), anonymous officials confidently blamed China — which journalists repeated as fact. The FBI has made no official statement since its "we working" on it statement on June 4. China has denied the accusation, of course.
Today we got more useful information from the GeoInt 2015 Symposium (geoint: geospacial intelligence):
"So what really makes you think that, as the head of NSA and Cyber Com, I'm going to talk with you about this," he told a reporter here today. … Rogers' response did seem a trifle dismissive of a reasonable question asked reasonably in an open forum. {Breaking Defense}
Rogers spoke in response to a question about how the National Security Agency was going about attributing the breach to the Chinese government. "You've put an assumption in your question," he said. "I'm not going to get into the specifics of attribution. It's a process that's ongoing."
… Rogers's hedged response, given during a question-and-answer session at the GEOINT symposium in downtown Washington, comes in stark contrast to the NSA's approach to attribution during the Sony hack. In that case the FBI, working with the NSA and DHS, quickly named North Korea as the perpetrator, resulting in the prompt issuance of sanctions.
Rogers called that a great example of cross-agency collaboration. "Working across the United States government, DHS, FBI and the National Security agency, we were able to relatively quickly come to consensus about the characterization of the activity we were seeing coming in, which formed the basis of our attribution, and with a relatively high confidence factor, which allowed us to respond in a very public and direct way."
Why hasn't that collaboration worked in the case of the OPM hack? Said Rogers: "every dataset is different." {Defense One}
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper also spoke at GeoInt, giving a remarkably casual statement on a matter of such importance.

New Thinking for a New Era
Today, in an "I want the next iPhone"-driven world, there's no sense in an IT manager pretending BYOD isn't happening or saying, "we don't let our employees do that." The truth is, they're doing it already and will continue to bring non-compliant devices into the network with or without the IT department's permission.

Since the beginning of Audio Splash, one of the bands that I've had the most frequent correspondence with has been the glo-fi Philly outfit Work Drugs. One reason why this has happened is because they're incredibly nice dudes, and other is because, well, they make some fantastic music. In all my time following them they have been able to put out good material at a very consistent rate; in fact, they just recently released the album Absolute Bearing this past July. Following that up already, today they whipped out a new single "The Art of Progress", a song that they say was originally written in 1994 as a response to U.S. President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signing the Kremlin accords. Obviously the song was shelved until the present day, 2012, or you would've heard it 18 years ago. Like much of the material they release, "The Art of Progress" is a smooth jam that emanates a slick, chill vibe. It's seamless in integrating itself with the classic Work Drugs image; a couple of good friends hanging on a boat during a hot, summer day accompanied with a few good laughs. Although not on a yacht, the video that goes with it complements that scene. Listen to "The Art of Progress" below, and if you like it they offer it as a free download over at SoundCloud. As usual, don't forget about visiting their Facebook (holy shit at 22,000+ likes!), Twitter, or homepage.

I would never give up cloth in a million years, but since we do occasionally use disposables, I have been searching for a more environmentally friendly disposable alternative to the typical disposable diapers. Most disposable diapers can take up to 500 YEARS to biodegrade, and are not manufactured in an eco-friendly manner. They use TONS of cardboard for packaging, and often contain nasty chemicals in the diapers themselves! No wonder so many babies get rashes! So after doing my research on a kinder, more responsible disposable diapering alternative, I was intrigued when I found Bambo Nature diapers.
Here is more about Bambo Nature, from their website:
Bambo Nature's commitment to protecting the environment is long-term with the intention that both we and future generations will be able to live in harmony with nature. They achieve this by focusing on the following:
Abena only uses state-of-the-art renewable raw materials.
The wood used for pulp is derived from sustainable forestry; where more trees are planted than felled.
There is absolutely zero chlorine used in the bleaching process.
No chemicals or compounds from SVHC (REACH Article 33(2)) are used – Substances of Very High Concern.
No known substances that are harmful to health or the environment are used in Bambo Nature Diapers.
- No Phthalates
- No Formaldehyde (HCHO)
- No Organotins (MBT, DBT, TBT)
- No Colophonium
- No Heavy metals
- No AZO-pigments
- No Chlorine (CI)
- No PVC
Abena adheres to requirements on resource consumption.
There are criteria on factory emissions into the air, water and land.
There are no chemicals used during production.
- No optical brighteners
- No skin care lotions
- No perfumes, essential oils
- No odor eliminators
Abena has almost completely reduced all waste during manufacturing. Abena does not use cardboard boxes to package and ship Bambo Nature Baby Diapers.Products and packaging materials can be disposed of through recycling, incineration or composting.Products are designed to be easily dismantled so that parts can be recycled and/or composted.Bambo Nature is 80% biodegradable, more than 3 times as much as other brands.
Abena's environmental requirements are strict and they are careful to ensure minimal environmental impact in all they do. With over 80% of diapering using disposables, it is estimated that over 18 BILLION diapers are used per year; and probably more since the introduction of pull-ups and training pants. It is imperative that companies invest time, energy, research, and technological development to create products that are eco-friendly and sustainable. Abena acknowledges that all consumption affects the environment. However, their products have a significantly lower impact on the environment than others. Working with their raw material suppliers, accepting independent tests and inspections, and producing one of the most environmentally-friendly baby diapers, Abena has demonstrated their commitment to improving the world we live in.
I immediately noticed how soft these diapers are in comparison to traditional disposable diapers. They have a smooth, almost cloth like feel to them, and they also feature standard, velcro like tabs. My favorite part of the visual aspect of Bambo Nature diapers? They have a cute little monkey on the waistband area! I LOVE monkeys, so this was a really nice surprise that's sure to please many parents. Sure, a diaper needs to work, but being cute helps, too! I also noticed there is a wetness indicator to help show how wet the diaper is at a glance. I LOVE this, since most diapers do not include this. The only other diaper I am aware of that does this also contains horrid chemicals and I refuse to use the brand ever again since their last product "advancements". (I use that term loosely, as I feel the new formula ruined their diapers.) So I was quite excited to see that much-loved feature in an eco-friendly disposable diaper.
Here are some photos of the Bambo Nature Diaper, and then I will get into my experience with this brand.
I was actually able to use these diapers on BOTH of my babies, since they both fit fairly well into the size range for size 3 Bambo Nature diapers. My daughter is actually a couple pounds over at 24lbs 4oz, but they still fit her fairly well. She has a more petite build and is shorter, so that may have something to do with it. Xander, my 6 month old, weighs about 17lbs and is quickly catching up to his big sister!
I tested the Bambo Nature on both babies, both during daytime and overnight use. I really like the softness of these diapers. My babies are used to cloth, and generally fuss a bit when put into disposables. That was not the case with these diapers at all. They didn't seem to mind the switch! I also noticed that these diapers are very easy to put on, and that the closure is very sturdy and doesn't come undone easily. This is a HUGE plus, since my daughter's latest game is "let's get naked", and she takes her diapers off and giggles. A good, strong closure is important!
The Bambo Nature also fit both children very well, and didn't leave any red marks whatsoever on their little thighs. The fit of the Bambo Nature diapers is also surprisingly trim. Since I am so used to using cloth during the day, I was used to experiencing bulky "fluff-butt syndrome" and having a hard time fitting regular clothing over my diapers. These diapers are trim and don't add any bulk.
Now on to the really important test: Do they work? YES! The Bambo Nature is super-absorbent and held up well during day and night time use. My babies tend to be heavy wetters, especially overnight, but when using these diapers, I did not experience any leaks with either child. I also loved the wetness indicator I talked about earlier. It made diaper changes a breeze! Also, neither of my babies experienced any redness or irritation that is so common with disposable diaper use. This of course is due to the fact that Bambo Nature diapers do not contain irritants or harsh chemicals.
I would definitely recommend Bambo Nature Diapers to anyone looking for a more eco-friendly disposable diaper. Whether it be for full time use or occasional use by cloth-diapering families like mine, the Bambo Nature is a natural choice. They are soft, trim, cute, and absorbent. On top of that, they are chemical free and will biodegrade much more rapidly than traditional disposable diapers. When my family uses disposables on occasion, Bambo Nature will be our diaper of choice!

He made a career out of beating up massive dudes with minimal skill. Beating him is kind of the sin qua non of being a legitimate heavyweight. Crocop stopped him in 70 seconds.
Shibata is 4-10, also very undersized for Ishii and has a loss to the aforementioned Minowa.

He is starting out at or near the bottom, then? Not such a bad thing in the big scheme of things.

I assume he is taking what K-1 gives him? How much control does he have in that system over who/when he fights. Of course, your are correct, though. I'm guessing he will work his way up the ladder/system. I'm no expert, but I'd say he has a long way to go before fighting skilled guys his weight class with a decent chance of success.

He doesn't have to fight for K-1.
If history is any guide they will have him beat up a couple more undersized no-hopers/kick-boxers who don't know how to grapple and then toss him in with Overeem or Fedor at two weeks notice.
Definitely. In addition, what he's doing is not the way to get there.Last edited by PointyShinyBurn; 12/01/2010 11:29am at .

Hard to form an opinion, not knowing the man. Going from his public image he doesn't strike me as notably full of guile and cunning and he made a lot of noise about wanting to train the right way, fight at the highest level etc. earlier on. So perhaps he's just being badly advised?

Neat Fact: Ronda Rousey's mom was the first American to win an international title and consequently the first woman to do it.
