1 Avaya G700 Media Gateway Security - Issue 1.0 Avaya G700 Media Gateway Security With the Avaya G700 Media Gateway controlled by the Avaya S8300 or S8700 Media Servers, many of the traditional Enterprise Communication System security issues have been addressed. Issues such as toll fraud and the remote access security have been addressed by adding enhanced security features in the switch s software and by adding adjunct security hardware. For example, remote access has been secured by employing the Access Security Gateway (ASG) software in the switch and by establishing a secure remote access architecture using the customer's AAA server, and the Secure Remote Access (SRA) device employed in the Avaya Enhanced Secure Remote Access Service (ESRAS) offer. The primary new ports for attack on the G700 Media Gateway are the IP trunks and the LAN. The open source operating systems (Linux and VxWorks) can also be security concerns if not properly configured. Avaya has taken measures with the Linux base to ensure operating system security issues have been addressed with the. These include: Disabling unneeded services and ports Limiting permissions Locking out logins if the maximum number of login attempts fail in a predefined time Adding SSH (Secure Shell) for secure login. In addition, Avaya will ensure the Linux base provides maximum security by testing the software against the latest system security tools. Investigation of additional security features and technology is currently underway to further minimize security issues in future releases of the G700 Media Gateway. Recommendations for Securing the Avaya G700 Gateway in Converged Networks Avaya makes these recommendations to maximize protection of your network against security violations. 1) Firewalls and routers provide the first line of defense against DoS and other types of attacks and should be used to protect all appropriate ports Page 1 of 5
2 2) It is recommended that the one criterion customers use to select firewalls is their resistance to DoS attacks. Be aware that there may also be performance and other tradeoffs when selecting DoS resistant firewalls 3) Customers should also routinely test their firewalls against a range of attacks to detect new vulnerabilities and miss configured firewalls 4) Customers can guard against eavesdropping by physically securing all of their network components (e.g. Firewalls, Routers, and Hubs) and by buying equipment that is tamper evident and resistant 5) Firewalls and Routers that implement, and are managed by, an SNMPv3-based network management system are recommended (vs. SNMPv1 or SNMPv2) because the security of SNMPv3 can prevent unauthorized updates to the routing tables and access control list by an intruder. Layer 2 switches are preferred to Hubs that broadcast information to every port and thus provide an eavesdropping opportunity. 6) If any of the following usage or patterns suddenly appears on call records or the customer receives complaints that their system is always busy, they should investigate immediately. A customer could be the victim of toll fraud if they have reports of: a. Long holding times b. Unexplained surges in use c. Increases in calls after business hours d. Reports of odd calls 7) Guard against unauthorized access to system administration by doing administration over a secure physical connection, a secure LAN connection, or by employing SSH, HTTPS, and/or SNMPv3 (recommended for a future G700 release). 8) Insure that the system administrator s password is kept secret and changed often. For the best security, use the Access Security Gateway (ASG) feature over a secure connection. For more information on ASG, see the following: In addition, take the following precautions with logins and passwords: Instead of passwords, it is recommended that customers use ASG on all of their logins to authenticate. Likewise, RADIUS is recommended for authentication on the data side. If the customer uses passwords instead of ASG, the passwords should be changed frequently. Require strong passwords (or pass phrases) and authentication before allowing system or database access. Page 2 of 5
3 Access control servers validate the user s identity and determine which areas or information the user can access based on stored user profiles. G700 Media Gateway configurations can employ AAA (for ESRAS), ASG (for ICC) and RADIUS (for Media Gateway) access control servers. It is recommended that customers use access control servers for all user authentications. 9) Limit access to the LAN. 10) Record and monitor to whom and when access is granted. 11) Access to the LAN should also be restricted via access control list on the Routers and Firewalls. 12) It is recommended that customers configure their firewalls and routers to restrict Avaya remote access to only Avaya IP address endpoints. 13) For individual terminal endpoints that are particularly sensitive to eavesdropping, customers may want to consider employing DCP (a proprietary protocol) terminals instead of IP terminals until IP terminals employ encryption. This of course assumes that such calls are between DCP or analog phones or to relatively secure phones on the public network and are not carried over the LAN. 14) For backup recovery reasons, transferring the files via FTP to a local PC as the only location for backups is not recommended, unless the local PC is secure. However, backing up to a remote storage device introduces other security concerns. Whether backed up to a local or remote device, the backup location should receive the same attention to security as the main storage site (G700 Media Gateway location). Care should be taken to make sure that the storage device and the physical environment (such as the room, the building or the premises) where the information is stored is physically secured. 15) Passwords used for the backup storage device and backup/restore process should be protected from intruders with the same care as passwords to the G700 itself. 16) While encryption of backups is optional, storing backups un-encrypted is not recommended as backup files contain very sensitive information that can be used to intrude on user privacy and the G700 Media Gateway system itself. Backups should always be encrypted. 17) If customers use SNMP to manage their surrounding network of devices, it is recommended that v3 be used. 18) It is recommended that a secure protocol such as SSH and SCP be used in all cases. 19) TFTP is used to transfer the file from the Update Master to the Media Gateway Processor and from the Media Gateway Processor to the target (i.e., Media Page 3 of 5
4 Module). TFTP is not a secure protocol, so this transfer should be made over a secure path. 20) It is a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of the MIB is properly configured to give access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed change/create/delete them. 21) Security log files should be frequently and securely transferred away from the system onto a secure server and archived for future examination. 22) When IP terminals are deployed in unsecured areas (e.g. lobbies, waiting rooms, etc.) then the LAN is exposed to outside intrusion. It is recommended that for such areas, analog or DCP phones be uses instead on IP phones to eliminate the possibility that someone with a laptop could plug into the network directly. One possible alternate solution is to use tamper proof LAN connectors in all public or semi-public areas. 23) Organizations should have effective mechanisms in place for communicating to all employees the existing policies, policy changes, new policies, and security alerts regarding impending viruses or attacks. 24) If connecting to the Internet in any way, it is recommended that the customer use firewalls to protect their network. Firewalls should always be used to create secure network configuration (secure subnets or Demilitarized Zones [DMZ s]) to protect from internal and external attacks. If the firewall does not come with an Intrusion Detection System then an IDS should be added. 25) Avaya recommends an initial security audit before the system is brought on-line and periodic audits thereafter to assure compliance with security policies. Audits themselves do not solve problems, so it is imperative that recommendations generated by a security audit be tracked and implemented. Recommendation for Installation of the G700 Media Gateway This section summarizes the recommendations related to G700 installation issues identified in this document. 1) It is recommended that Avaya Services change the default login and passwords for the Media Gateway Processor and Avaya P330 L2 Switch CLI immediately after installation. 2) When firmware files are obtained from a support site, a secure browser using HTTPS should be employed and cryptographic signatures on the files should be checked.

Its surprising how much you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit
Now that we know what the declassified House memo says about government misconduct, we also know what it means: The Washington swamp — the deep state — is bigger, more vicious and more dangerous to American liberty than even a cynic could have imagined.
Because of the memo and previous revelations, we know that swamp creatures are embedded in the top of the FBI and the Department of Justice. Some used their power to try to tip a presidential campaign based on their personal politics.
They conducted a sham investigation of the Democratic candidate and misled federal judges to spy on at least one associate of her Republican challenger.
To block exposure of their misdeeds, these officials falsely claimed that national security would be damaged. Add that despicable lie — issued in the name of the FBI itself — to their shameful records.
Thanks to the battle over the memo, we also know with 100 percent certainty that the mainstream media is part of the swamp. The efforts by the New York Times and the Washington Post, among others, to keep the memo from ever seeing sunshine were appalling.
Before it saw the memo, the Times' editorial page called it proof of "The Republican Plot Against the FBI." A Washington Post columnist warned President Trump he would be making a historic mistake in releasing it.
"Presidents don't win fights with the FBI," Eugene Robinson wrote, seemingly endorsing the blackmailing habits of the disgraced J. Edgar Hoover.
Oddly, the campaign by those papers coincided with the celebration of their roles in releasing the Pentagon Papers nearly 50 years ago, as heroically depicted in the movie "The Post."
Then, those papers took great risks in standing up for the First Amendment in the face of government threats and financial pressures. Now, those same papers take the side of butt-covering secrecy and demonize those who demand transparency.

Most have understood that Pres. Trump is truly neither an R or a D, which in this case, a good thing. It is my prayer that he can stay above the fray far enough and long enough to actually know how big the swamp is, what the challenges are, and then be successful at Draining the Swamp! I doubt anyone really understood just what Drain the Swamp meant and what the real scope of the challenges was to be.
One of the ways WE, the people, can help is to start understanding what true representation from our elected leaders means. Every one of them are elected to represent, NOT do their own thing.
We, the people, really need to get back to fundamental support of constitutional law. It's up to each one of us, to do what we can to help him ...Drain the Swamp. Just saying....
Another point entirely: These memos and their declassification bring up the point that nothing, that's NOTHING, should be classified, if their is no national security being protected by the classification.
Sen. McCain, I call on you specifically to declassify ALL your military associated history. It's time we all should understand just exactly what your own involvement was in the many allegations against you. Ask Pres. Trump. He can help you get this stuff all declassified fairly easily.

We got off to a fairly early start, knowing that the day would be quite warm. The first 10 km or so were disappointing, with the path mostly along the highway, like yesterday. But as the Rhine valley began to widen, the highway routed more inland, while the bike path stuck to the river, and we began to wind through some very beautiful countryside, with castles dotting the hillsides.
|A castle in the Rhine and one above it.
|Town walls in Bingen
|Sonia reads up on controlled flooding in this part of the valley.
|A field red with poppies.
|Mainz Cathedral
The two nights we were in Cochem, there was a wine festival across the river from our apartment, with music going until midnight both nights. Last night in Sankt Goar, we fell asleep to the sound (dare I say "noise") of a rock concert at the Loreley Freilichtbühne, an outdoor amphitheatre that was right across the river and about 100 metres above our hotel. Tonight, we're being serenaded by a couple of quite good guitarists singing oldies from the 60s in the courtyard below. It's a refreshing change (though silence would be even more refreshing... and get off my lawn you young punks!)
Tomorrow morning, we're heading straight to the train station and from there, south to Heidelberg. So this will be all of Mainz for us.

Sometimes gmail freaks me out.
I checked my emails a few minutes ago and noticed this message at the top of the page, where lines of advertising are usually displayed:
In broader context, it looked like this (how jaunty is my email background, PS - so much nicer than boring Outlook! I reminds me of Super Mario Bros games):
Just as I was thinking that gmail had completely lost its marbles - or I had - I glanced right and saw the end of the message. Apparently, it's just a friendly (and totally weird) recycling tip. Case solved. Phew!

Before Bristol however, we will be doing a little signing back in Leah's hometown of Northampton at Phoenix Comics.
The signing will take place on the afternoon of Thursday the 8th of May at
Phoenix Comics

Have you stuck to your New Years resolution?
My New Years Resolution was 1024x768 and i'm getting along just fine with it,
hopefully i'll take up smoking sometime around march
so far, yes.
Didn't make one.
I go swimming once a week, but stopped in January because i knew my local pool would be full of fat bored-after-going-two-times people. So i figure i will go again in February. A month should be enough for them to go back to their fatty ways. Sorry, but i hate fat people clogging up the swim lanes..

Some time ago I wrote a post on Do You Have Your Affairs In Order. Whilst I don't sit around consumed by this subject, last week a dear friend of mine buried a dear friend of her's. This women was a beautiful 39 year old mother of 4 with the youngest just 1 year old. My friend shared a beautiful photo of the husband surround by the Sisters Nuns from the Missionaries of Charity (Saint Mother Teresa) wearing the blue-striped habit of the Order. Her husband was smiling as he and his family were comforted by their faith and assurance brought to us through the Savior.
This article was on the front page of the Courier Mail online website and this morning for our family scripture study we just happen to be reading about the assurances given to us through God's plan of what will happen to us after death.
Have you ever heard anyone's last words? Not just their last words to you...but their last words ever, to anyone? I have. More times than I want, but it wasn't me those people wanted to hear their last words. It just comes with my job. I am one of the people who decide what sort of death other people have.
Death is the one thing you can't complain about later. A good death, a bad death, you get what you're given and when it's done there is no avenue for feedback. I am writing this in the hope that some of you will have better deaths.
Especially, this letter is addressed to those of you who are going to die soon, let's say in the next year. Some of you don't know you are in this group, so you will stop reading now. This isn't written for you. When you die it will be unexpected, and tragic, and my team and I will be trying to prevent it with all the knowledge, skills, drugs and equipment at our disposal. You have more life to live. I'm not writing to you.
There are other people reading this who know their time is near. They have an illness which is incurable, despite taking treatment to control the symptoms. It might be cancer, or lung disease, or heart disease, or a lot of other diseases which mean they can't do what they used to be able to do, wish they still could do, but will never do again. They can't leave the house; they're too weak, too short of breath. Or it hurts too much. Most of their friends have died, or moved away and lost touch, or are themselves too sick to get out of the house, the room, the bed. Their children come over as often as they can but...young people have busy lives. They can't see well enough to read. They don't enjoy life anymore. They know they are going to die soon and they're ready to go. This letter is to them.
I am a doctor, and work in an emergency department. I am one of the few people you still meet, because you don't get out much these days. In fact it's been a few months since you left the house. Friends and relatives come from time to time but you aren't well enough to do anything or go anywhere with them. Sometimes you get sick enough to need admission to hospital, and that's when we meet. I do my best to assess your condition and treat your disease and we both pretend that this can go on forever; that we will keep patching things up and you will get back home to wait for the next time. One of these times it won't work. You won't respond to my treatment, and I'll hear your last words. I don't mean to, and I don't know for certain that they are your last words until later. And they are usually mundane, something about what drug I am about to give you or where I am going to insert a drip. This time you don't get better as planned. You die.
We are all going to die. Modern medicine can delay death, but cannot prevent it. Sometimes we can delay it for decades, and that's why I get out of bed in the mornings. Sometimes for months, and that lets people get their affairs in order. Sometimes only for days or weeks, and that's why I'm writing this.
Medicine is an art which dates back to antiquity. More recently it has become a science. Unfortunately, for most of the time since antiquity, doctors have lacked the ability to do anything about the conditions they diagnosed with increasing accuracy. Modern surgery has only developed since anaesthesia was invented in the late nineteenth century. Antibiotics have only been available since the Second World War. It is only very recently in human history that doctors have had the power to effectively treat many diseases. Now that we have that power, it is tempting to use it wherever possible.
But for some of you who have incurable and life threatening disease, who have no quality in your life, treating your disease is just extending your torture. You develop pneumonia, or a urinary tract infection, or cellulitis. You have another heart attack, another stroke. When I meet you in the emergency department your pain, your shortness of breath, the overwhelming panic of being on death's door is written on your face. You don't know what you want, except not to feel like this. I am one of a chain of people you meet who work to treat your disease. Ambulance officers, emergency department doctors and nurses, clinicians working on the wards: all work towards your treatment as if you could be cured. Often that means we can't give you a treatment which would just make you feel better, because it might make you die sooner.
We struggle through, you and I. You're pretty scared, but I can't give you anything for that because it might affect your breathing. It's the same for pain relief, a balance between treatment and harm. You need to have an oxygen mask strapped to your face, have drips in your arms, plastic tubes in your stomach and bladder. Drugs, fluids, more drips, surgery sometimes. Treatment usually works for at least a while and after a few days or weeks in hospital you go home; it's over until next time. Over and over during your final 12 months or so we will replay this crisis. One of those admissions to hospital will start out like all the others, but will turn out to be your last. That's when I'll hear your last words.
It doesn't have to be this way for you. You can already choose a different death. No legislation needs to be passed. All patients are required to give informed consent to any treatment offered by a health professional. Patients can choose to decline any treatment too. The first and most common choice is to have full treatment of your disease, with whatever indignities and pain that entails. That's what we offer as the default now. We assume that when you arrive at our emergency department you want to have your condition diagnosed and treated. The needles, the masks, the tubes, the drugs, the machines, whatever it takes. Because you're so sick, it's not the time for me to start a conversation about the relative benefits of treatments, your prognosis, and the likelihood of leaving hospital. That's Option A: full resuscitation and treatment.
There are other options. You will need to choose them in advance though, before you become acutely sick and need to come to the emergency department. Option B can be whatever you want it to be: all treatments except mechanical life support, or surgery. This will depend on your own wishes as much as advice and recommendations from your treating doctors.
The option I want you to know about is Option C: Comfort measures only. Nothing happens that isn't done for your comfort. All medications which might make you feel better are able to be given. You are kept clean and warm. You can have the chance for your family to gather round, to be pain-free and calm. You can say your last words to someone other than me.
This option has always been available. It is very infrequently requested. That's because it must be requested before you come to the emergency department, when you are well enough to discuss it. I can't offer comfort measures only if you haven't talked about it with your loved ones: your spouse, your sons and daughters, your friends. They need to hear from you that you have thought about your death, and how you want it to be. No-one likes that conversation. Most never have that conversation, and go on pretending their death will never come.
Apart from it being your wish, I can only offer Option C if you do have an incapacitating and incurable disease. And of course you must be 'of sound mind'. If all of these apply, then I can offer Option C and hopefully a good death. A death at a time of your choosing, with your loved ones gathered around you, as most of us hope it will be.
What do you need to do to make this happen for you? It's easy. First, we need evidence of your disease. That isn't too difficult for most of you because you have been in and out of hospital for months. If you've been to my hospital for treatment, it will be there in your file.
Secondly, you need to have discussed with your treating doctors your wish not to go through the whole diagnosis and treatment process again, that next time you want Option C: comfort measures only. Talk to them while you are in hospital. They won't be shocked. There are forms to fill, they know which ones. But most importantly, tell those closest to you. They are the people who will be with you during that last illness, and need to understand that you have decided not to go through it any more. Talk to them today. Show them this letter if it helps.
They are the people who deserve to hear your last words. Not me.
- an anonymous doctor working in the emergency department of a Queensland Health hospital.
While we live in a society where end-of-life wishes was often taboo in our ``death-denying society'' so most people ignored the issue. But as homeschooling mothers, what would happen to your family. You have made sacrifices to stay home with you children that go above and beyond what society expects. More often then not we are a 'societal freak show'. We have more then the national quota of children, which I think in Australia might be 1.5 now. We are stay home mums, quite often religious we actually sacrifice the things of the 'world' for the sake of having this glorious privilege of teaching our children.
Last week Jessica, our 10 year old, started at regular school. She loves it which makes me a little sad. I don't have the strength required to homeschool 3 lively children. I am sick, and while I still believe in and have faith for healing it may not come in the time frame I need or want. To be able to homeschool at all is a miracle. After several strokes, lost vision and walking along the corridors of death in the last few years I now except my limitations and will work within them. I don't have a youthful candle that has a wick at both ends. My one sole wick is not that strong anymore either.
Do you have a plan in place if you should become like my friends, friend. That women did. She was surround by her family & friends and Ministers of her faith until the very last breath. She took comfort in knowing that her affairs both spiritually and temporally where in order.
Don't leave it for tomorrow because your tomorrow might just be today.

text: M eet Sh ei l a a n d THEO , t h e M en t o r s W h o In spi r ed Est h er Hi c k s t o c h a n n el A BRA HA M . I am thrilled to be able to introduce you to Sheila and Marcus Gillette, the team and co-founders of The THEO Group. Sheila and THEO were the inspiration behind Esther Hick?s desire to become a channel herself. Esther has described in her best-selling books, events and films, and in fact, THEO predicted that she would channel her own group of higher teachers. THEO instructed her on how to begin the spiritual process of becoming receptive to their energies. Within a year of Esther?s experience with THEO, she began channeling ABRAHAM. Sheila Gillette discover her ability to channel in 1969 when she nearly died following a pulmonary embolism suffered during the birth of her third child. Following her improbable recovery, Sheila began experiencing various types of psychic phenomenon leading her to become the direct voice channel for THEO. Her psychic abilities have been verified by para-psychological researchers, physicists and other scientists across the country, as well as by the hundreds of thousands of people that have sought THEO?s insights. THEO has never been embodied, but rather speaks to us from higher dimensions. Paramount to THEO?s teachings is Soul Integration? , which is an authentic path to wholeness, or what many conceive of as enlightenment. The individual and collective challenges people face, as well as the dreams and ambitions they aspire to, can be met through learning how to become fully soul integrated. In this way, the Law of Attraction takes on new meaning as desired vision becomes less cerebral and more fully integrated in mind, body and spirit. Sheila has been astonishing on radio, television and live audiences with THEO?s teachings for several decades and has authored two books; the first published by Simon & Schuster titled, The 5th Dimension: Channels to A New Reality. Her second book, The Soul Truth: A Guide to Inner Peace, was co-authored with her husband Marcus, and was released in December 2008. ?W e are 12 archangelic beings, speak ing in one voice, here t o be ment ors and t eachers. W e are guides int o t his new fut ure, int o t his t ime of mast erfulness, for all humanit y is ready now t o accept t hat wit hin t hemselves. Marcus began his spiritual journey exploring out-of-body states as a teenager. W e are here t o enlight en, t o A passionate seeker of truth and shamanic practitioner since several life open beings t o t he possibilit ies changing events 25 years ago, Marcus has studied the wisdom of indigenous cultures, eastern philosophies, and material channeled from non-physical and t he miraculous.?? T H EO entities. Just prior to meeting Sheila, he explored expanded states of consciousness at the Monroe Institute and met with the business manager there with the intention of building an institute in Phoenix AZ. All prior plans changed in a moment on a magical night in May of 1997 when his Soul?s purpose for being incarnate at this time crystalized: he was here to partner with Sheila in sharing the teachings of THEO with the world. As a successful business consultant, coach and motivational speaker, Marcus has spoken to tens of thousands of people integrating THEO?s teachings of empowerment and possibility in his inspirational speeches. Please enjoy this insight into the future of Jewels Johnson (Law of Attraction Talk Radio) interviewing ?THEO.? Sheil a: This will take just few seconds for me to alter my conscious state to allow THEO to come in. They come in on my right side of my body. They take over my vocal cords, my upper body and then the entirety of my body. I'll do that now and then THEO will be present. So, here we go! THEO: It's the beginning, is it not? Marcus: It is, welcome THEO. THEO: We are appreciative to be of service to you. You may ask? Marcus: Yes, we are grateful to have you. Do you have any opening comments for us today? THEO: This is a grand time, an exquisite time to be in body, to be alive during this unprecedented shift of consciousness, and to have the recognition of the divinity and the mastery present in each and every one of you. That is a blessing. You may ask? Marcus: Yes, can you speak on the 5th dimension that we're living in right now? Page 25- Oct ./ Nov, 2017

Norfolk Southern officials were trying to determine what caused six cars of a southbound freight train to derail Monday morning behind several houses south of the Virginia Avenue overpass.
The 156-car train powered by five locomotives was enroute from Harrisburg, Pa., to Roanoke, Va., according to Leanne McGruder, spokesman for Norfolk Southern in Roanoke.
"The affected tracks will be closed until further notice," she said Monday afternoon. "An adjacent track will be used in the meantime."

On Facebook I found out about Alicia's Special Challenge (here) You had to use one of her images found at Alicia's Little Shop. I chose to use Colouring Alicia.
I coloured her with Copics and fussy cut her out. I found the background die cut with was a digital printed one, that I edged with Walnut Stain distress ink. I layered Alicia over top. The PP is from a Christmas pack ( I have quite a few so will be using up the not too Christmassy ones) The sentiment is from a Penny Black set. I mounted the PP onto a gold card base.
Day two of my exercise programme and I did a 45 minute ABT class then came home and did 15 minutes on the exercycle. I didn't intend to do the class, but the instructor needed two participants so two of us just about to start our gym session helped out! So with only two of us in the class, got some great instruction. My arms and abs are feeling it now. But I've just signed up for next Tuesday's class. Hope I can keep up the momentum!
Thanks for stopping by today

The winter this far north was something Redtooth supposed he would get used to in time, and yet, after spending a few weeks living among the coyote clan, he found himself no less acclimated to the bitter cold. The snow was the hardest to get used to. It snowed in Homestead during the height of winter, but it was nothing like this. There were some days where the snow would pile all the way up to the windowsill of Redtooth's first story room of the D'Neville Mansion. On days like this, Redtooth stayed inside -- venturing out only when absolutely necessary.
During times like these, Redtooth wondered if his flight from Homestead had been the best idea. Perhaps not, but he was still too much of a wounded animal to think of going back.
Night fell over Infeni, and with it, so did the temperature. In the corner of his room was a small wood-burning stove that Redtooth stoked for warmth from time to time. He wrapped himself in all of his available blankets. Then, and only then, did Redtooth feel warm enough.
Lying on his side in his little blanket cocoon, Redtooth basked in the dull ember glow of the stove until his eyes felt tired. His eyelids grew heavy and they soon drooped shut. Apart from the faint crackle of flame in his makeshift fireplace, the night was so quiet. So calm. Though, that was likely to change any moment now.

<Cheetah7071> who isn't being recruited in FE4?
<Cheetah7071> oh
<Cheetah7071> hannibal?
<SevenDeadlySins> also
<Mekkah> also
<Mekkah> if you go fast enough in ch9
<Mekkah> you dont get altenna
<Vykan12> There's more than 1 pairing per child?
<Mekkah> x)
<SevenDeadlySins> don't forget all the replacements
<SevenDeadlySins> like
<Cheetah7071> he doesn't slow things down, since corplol can wander back to recruit him while others press ahead
<SevenDeadlySins> hawk and femina
<SevenDeadlySins> "what"
<Mekkah> you need to clear enemies for corple to talk to hannibal
<SevenDeadlySins> also he may not slow things down but he sure as shit is a pain in the ass
<Cheetah7071> so?
<SevenDeadlySins> i ended up sleeping him with patty's sleep sword
<Mekkah> and you need to recruit or kill or seize hannibal to advance to the next castle
<Mekkah> (seize as in seize his castle, which the game considers the same as killing him)
<Cheetah7071> that's an entirely different argument fromt he one being used to remove catria et al
<Cheetah7071> it's not analogous at all
<SevenDeadlySins> it's analogous to stefan
<Mekkah> it saves like 20 turns to kill hannibal when you meet him
<SevenDeadlySins> "recruiting hannibal costs turns"
<SevenDeadlySins> if you don't kill him
<SevenDeadlySins> he goes and gets reinforcements
<SevenDeadlySins> which threaten your base castle
<SevenDeadlySins> or flank you from the back
<Cheetah7071> see this is why a unit's recruitment conditions should never count against them
<Mekkah> <int> aran's main use is providing one of my units with 33 exp
<Vykan12> But that contradicts the PP concept
<Vykan12> lolol
<Vykan12> Aran is so easy to recruit on turn 2
<Mekkah> but ok seriousl
<Mekkah> xavier..
<SevenDeadlySins> in any case
<SevenDeadlySins> "why not do a double list"
Bottom line, you don't count a character's recruitment requirements against them, and even if you did, the notion of removing playable characters from a tier list is absurd. Now I'm not clear on what exact tiering system is employed here, but as far as I can tell, if you do count recruitment against someone, it's simply a negative factor they have to overcome. If they don't, that will be reflected in whatever their crappy ranking is (presumably lower mid to bottom).

Ratings for Dr. Jeffianne S. Young
I was billed for services I did not request or receive. When I contacted the office I was treated rudely. The office manager is awful. I will never go back to this office.
This office will over book and over charge for poor service. Her assistant is nice but Dr Young has poor people skills and most of her staff including the office manager are HORRIBLE. Did not address problems with patients appropriately. I wouldn't be surprised if one of her staff writes a biased review after this one. If you should have concerns with the service that you are paying for, they will gossip and laugh at you. Don't expect your concerns to be taken care of.
Sat in waiting room less than two minutes, even tho I was about ten minutes early. Waited in exam room ten minutes at most for this doctor. My arthritis was very bad that day and she worked with me, allowing me to sit forward rather than back in chair. She was very kind and caring. Louise, her med asst is terrific and the one who referred me to her after my last eye doctor retired. Thanks Louise, you're the best! I'm glad I found Dr. Young.
I waited an hour for her to see me in the patient room after my eyes had been dialated. I finally left after waiting an hour. No one bothered to come and tell me that she would be late or anything. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I would NEVER recommend this office or doctor to my worst enemy !!!

Moraine Township, Lake County, Illinois
News of the Township
Moraine Township Announces Grant Proposal Deadline of March 1, 2006
Contact: Mari Barnes, Supervisor (847) 432-3240
For Immediate Release week of January 22, 2006
Moraine Township Supervisor Mari Barnes announced that newly revised applications and guidelines for funding requests will be available at the Township office, 777 Central Avenue, Highland Park, beginning on Friday, January 27.
"All agencies providing direct services to Moraine Township residents are invited to submit requests for funding support," she said. "Because we are adopting a new application form and guidelines, the Board recommended that we move the usual deadline up to March 1 to give agencies time to adjust."
This process marks the first opportunity for the new board (installed in May, 2005) to establish fresh relationships with all agencies in and outside of the Township that serve Township residents. They will be assisted in the screening process by "Citizen Committee" members recruited for this purpose.
"Exact funds available vary due to unknowns in property tax collections, budget forecasting timing and fiscal year of the Township (which is April 1 to March 31)," Barnes said, "but at present we are working with the figure of $78,000 for the grant program."
That budgeted amount is in addition to the Township's financial resources for General Assistance (direct help for individuals), and managing the donated goods for its Food Pantry and Clothes Closet.
"Townships are special-purpose governments, representing the community's generosity. We hope residents will become more aware of Moraine Township as the source of first resort for needy residents. Think of us when you experience a hardship, or when you want to share your good fortune.
"The grant program administers our tax-supported dollars to deserving agencies serving Township residents and employees. We hope to hear from everyone involved in such efforts," Barnes asserted.
Contact Moraine Township at (847) 432-3240 to receive an application form, or stop in at 777 Central Avenue, Highland Park or download the Guidelines and Proposal Forms as PDFs online after January 27 at www.morainetownship.org.

Chinese: A Language of Compound Words?
Giorgio Francesco Arcodia
79-90 (
complete paper
proceedings contents
In the literature about Chinese word formation, Mandarin has often been described as a "language of compounded words" (see Lin 2001, Dong 2004), with compounding as the main process in Chinese word formation. This paper proposes that the coinage of a great number of compounded words was caused by several factors: the morphology of the language, the near- absence of agglutinating or inflectional morphological markers (which can act as "word boundaries"), and the stability of the phonological (and orthographical) shape of Chinese morphemes, together with the scarcity of grammatical morphemes compared to lexical ones. The paper then provides a functional motivation for the development of different kinds of compounds. From the structural point of view, this is reflected in zero-marking in phrases which designate an easily identifiable and frequent referent, and zero-marking for coordination in syntax. Finally, the paper proposes that there may be a correlation between the synthetic character of word formation in a language and the abundance of compounds in it, whereas in languages with a tendency to analyticity in word formation, such as Romance languages, compounding is expected to be a less prominent phenomenon.

Hey, I'm Murklins (aka 'banter' in the chat). I joined this site waaay back in 2010, after being a lurker without a wiki account for a year or so. Yeah. And then I never actually did anything. The main problem was that I realized I didn't really have the ideas swarming around in my mind to craft an SCP of my own. Recently, though, I've decided that even if I'm not starting my own articles, I'm not hurting the site if I vote on things I like or dislike, suggest changes for the latter, and fix spelling/grammar stuff that I notice once in a while, so here I am.
Uh, about me. I like biology, literature, and SCPs with well-written exploration logs. I'm from Illinois, and compared to this site's typical userbase I'm pretty damn young, at 17 (eighteen in a couple weeks). I still plan on being pretty quiet but I figured an intro would be nice so people wouldn't have to go "hey who's this douche commenting on things all of a sudden."

I continue to make my way through this series. In the episode "Act of God" we come close to horror story territory as a dense fog cloaks London, posing a health hazard that leaves many ill and dead. It turns out Churchill knew of the possibility of such an occurrence, had been urged to limit coal consumption because the pollutants are the major contributing factor to the fog, but dismissed it and now... The fog has come... dun-dun-DUN.
Seriously, though, keep in mind this really did happen in 1952, and Churchill nearly lost his position over it. But he's a cunning old thing. When his assistant is hit by a bus that didn't see her because, you know, fog, Churchill goes to the hospital morgue to identify her then uses that to make a public appearance that boosts his popular appeal. Just as Elizabeth is about to give him a good kick in the pants, too, because he won't let Phillip take flying lessons. (Spoiler for those who haven't been around in the last 70+ years: Phillip is allowed to fly in the end.)
"Smoke and Mirrors" then moves on to Elizabeth's coronation. Against tradition and all advice, Liz puts Phil in charge of arranging it, and he brings in TV crews. That's kind of the sum total of the episode except that Uncle David, who had been king for less than a year and never got a coronation, continues to bitch about things. I do understand his frustration, sure—his family is fairly nasty about the whole abdication and his marrying that Wallis woman. It's a wonder their relationship lasted given that, in the end, it seems neither of them were very happy. A lifetime of not getting what you really want will do that to you, I suppose.
Oh, and Queen Mary dies.
As for the coronation, there's a bit of tension between Elizabeth and Phillip when he doesn't want to have to kneel to her during the ceremony but she insists. She tries to explain to Phillip that she is his wife but also the Queen. It's complicated, but once again the show does a fine job of relaying that tension to the viewers. We feel it.
So that leaves us at the halfway mark for this season. So far so good.

"I have to tell you, the reason I came back to live with my parents was because I got pregnant," I say to her.
"It happens," she said with a nod. Now realizing that if I did leave this church it would not be because of her, I continued,
"And my boyfriend and I didn't have the ability to give him a good stable home so we placed him for adoption. It's an open adoption and I get to see him." She expressed her glee and happiness that things had worked out so well for everyone involved and I realized that I would not have to fear telling this woman anything.
Religion has been a strange subject in my life. Mostly it's because I had something of a weird upbringing on the subject. Stuck between a Methodist and a fallen away Catholic who both decided the Unitarian church was the one for them (until I was nine and after that we didn't go anywhere) meant my religious education was rather weird. But, it has also left me more open minded. For now I attend the Methodist church when I go to see my parents and a Lutheran church in the town where I live if I stay for the weekend.
After everything that happened with my son, I wasn't quite sure that any church would let me back in. I had (obviously) has sex before marriage. I had bore a son and placed that son in the arms of others to be raised. These still carry a bit of social stigma and much social stigma (let's face it) comes from religion. So you can probably understand my nervousness.
But just as I've been extremely lucky with who my son's adoptive parents and how everything turned out, I've been extremely lucky when it comes to find churches that will let me in and won't bother me about anything that I've done. Both the Methodist and the Lutheran pastors at the churches I have attended have passed the test. They and many members of both churches have seen pictures of my son and have talked to me very positively about what I've done and what all happened. And it has been a help to me.
I hope that all of you have the courage to look for the people who will help you. And while you may have some bad times, I do believe that sooner or later, you will find people who will support and believe in you. And trust me, they will let you back in the door.

World number one Jason Day is in the mix heading into the final round of the US PGA Championship after firing a composed three-under-par 67 to move within one shot of Jimmy Walker, who leads after 54 holes at 11-under-par.
Day admitted last week that he was feeling under-the-weather prior to the last major of the season, but he showed no signs of illness or fatigue as he completed his delayed third round early on Sunday morning. The Australian finished with a birdie four on 18 to move onto ten-under-par and second place on his own.
"We just didn't really know what was going on with the weather, but thankfully it let up and I'm glad we got the third round in," Day said in an interview following his third round. "Patience was key and I played some good golf so looking forward to the fourth round."
Walker will be the man to beat in New Jersey after the American posted a flurry of birdies on the back nine. Walker shared the lead with Day following a gain on 15 and added another on the last after finding the par-five green in just two shots. The 37-year-old could become the fifth first-time major winner in a row if he closes out the title.
British Open champion Henrik Stenson is just two shots back after he shot a third consecutive 67. The Swede was level-par as he approached the turn but managed to add birdies to his card on 10, 15 and 18 to move to nine-under-par alongside American Brooks Koepka.
Padraig Harrington leads the British and Irish challenge. Harrington was one of the early starters on Sunday, and his 68 saw him climb into a tie for ninth at six-under-par. Justin Rose (-4), Tyrrell Hatton (-4), Jordan Spieth (-4), Rickie Fowler (-3) and Phil Mickelson (-3) could all make a late charge with a low round.

Strwaberry can Press Cancer Risk and Heart Disease
Posted November 13, 2009on:
Apparently a lot of benefit strawbery. Many benefits provided by red fruit and sweet.
Phytonutrients of the fruit content of strawberry rich in phenols, phenol content of anthocyanins and ellagitanin not only cause a red strawberry but also rich in antioxidants so good for the heart, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory, too.
Ellagitanin themselves are often said to reduce the risk of cancer, because with regular eating strawberries may reduce cancer risk as much as three-fold.
Content of vitamin C in strawberry itself can not be underestimated. individuals who eat the fruit that contains a little vitamin C will experience arthritis more often than not.
So how do we consume? It turned out to consume in a fresh new cut and better for our bodies. Wash out the way and keep the temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, and do not be consumed more than 6 days because the vitamin C content would be reduced 5%. For a varied diet, consume with vegetables so that a fruit salad. Occasionally, make strawberry juice.
There's a lot of advantages, why not start from now we start to eat the fruit that contains vitamin C every day.
