Bilbo Baggins, played fantastically by Ian Holm, with his well-know smoking pipe is the protagonist and titular (writer) character of The Hobbit and a supporting character in The Lord of the Rings, two of the most well-known of J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy writings. He is the "cousin" of Frodo (who called each other uncle & nephew) and made Frodo heir of his riches and the "Ring." Tolkien's legendarium "Lord of the Rings" now a movie that has won 17 out of 30 Academy Awards nominated in total. (Notes by Wikepedia.)

As you may have read on my site, my wife loves her geocaching Blackberry. Problem will be when caching out of Sprint coverage. I believe all the maps and descriptions are loaded live through the Sprint network - which is limited.
I tried to use the Garmin while she used her Blackberry. Didn't work too well. I was going one way and she was going another. DNF on those.

Daring Bakers: Gluten Free Vegan Marguerita Pizza and Vegan Bianca Pizza Recipe
This month when I heard that the Daring Bakers challenge was PIZZA, I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I was thrilled because it was another savory challenge! I also thought it was fantastic that they included a gluten-free alternative with the announcement itself. Cool, right? But on the other hand, it was suggested that we try to have a photo taken of ourselves throwing the dough. Unfortunately, even the most pliable gluten-free dough isn't likely to survive a toss… and I usually do my Daring Bakers projects all by my lonesome… And no, the kitties aren't very good at managing with f-stops and all that. They are pretty much masters of the nap in the afternoon, and that is about it. If you haven't tried the food photography equivalent of yoga's one legged tree pose with one hand on dough and the other hand smooshing a camera eyepiece to your face… while trying to keep shadows, camera straps and untoward crumbs in mind… well, let me just say, I don't recommend it. On the up-side, I did manage to document my pretty pink manicure done special for Halloween. And, like all Daring Baker challenges, once I recovered from shock over how much time it would take, I had a great time playing with dough and coming up with some brand new, fun vegan toppings. To my pleasure, the determinedly NOT vegan DH gobbled down all the slices I would give him, and had some the next day for lunch without a single query of "where's the cheese?"
The suggested GF Flour blend for the pizza recipe was undoubtedly quite nice, but it relied on oat flour, which I personally haven't had the nerve to try yet. There were also comments that the corn flour had a strong flavor when the dough sat overnight, and corn flour isn't one of my favorites anyway, so I decided to branch out. I didn't go very far for inspiration, though, as I turned to my old standby, Carol Fenster's amazing pizza crust. Proportions were a little awkward though, and I wanted to add something with a little extra nutritional (and protein-centered) punch, so I added some garfava flour to the recipe and adjusted it for convenience. Perhaps due to the large amount of xanthan gum in the recipe, it did require more liquid than called for in the gluten original. Next time I might reduce the amount of xanthan gum and see what happens. However, once I added sufficient water and let the mixers release the lovely protein in the dough, I found the dough to be beautifully workable. I shaped it on my cutting board on nonstick cooking oil sprayed wax paper and sliced it into pieces, then wrapping each one in saran wrap before storing them in a gallon ziploc bag for later.
Just how much later would it be used? Well… we didn't have any other plans for dinner, so I decided to use one generous portion for pizza that night. I know, I know, bad. But I had it from very good authority that the overnight chill didn't make much of a difference in gluten-free crusts, and I thought I would give it a try in the interest of scientific curiosity. The next question was what kind of topping to make. I knew I wanted to make a vegan topping, and for some reason it occured to me to make a pizza with a white sauce. I'd never seen such a thing, but surely they existed, right?
An internet search revealed a variety of recipes for a white sauce garlic sauce that one could use on pizza. I had proof others had tried this. At first I was enticed by the idea of making it a white sauce with wine and garlic. Unfortunately when I tried it, something about the soy milk and the wine… um… clashed. Horribly. I ended up throwing the whole thing out and starting again. This time I avoided the wine but kept the classic white sauce, although it was more of a tan than white shade. Hey, what with the cajun style browning of the roux, the brown in the garlic, and the creamy tones of the soy milk, I think it was inevitable. Regardless, it tasted great. It tasted even better when I topped it with caramelized onions, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts and (some) spinach. Mmmm. Did I mention that the DH loved it? It might not be a traditional Roman style Bianca pizza topped with olive oil, salt and, occasionally, rosemary leaves… but I can always try that next time.
That night I baked the pizza with minimal refrigeration and without prebaking the crust. I felt a little uneasy about putting a white sauce on raw dough, but the dough was flexible and lovely when it came out the oven. I did wonder if it tasted "cooked" enough with a flour sauce topping it, so I decided to bake two more small crusts and try a prebaked crust with the same topping the next day. (Yes, I let them sit out for two hours before baking.) I baked one for 4 or 5 minutes, and another for eight minutes or so. I let them cool and put them in a ziploc bag to store.
The next day I made hot pizza for lunch. However, instead of JUST serving the garlic white sauce topping, I decided to top one of the pizas with pine nut "ricotta" in a vegan take on the lovely Marguerita pizza. I've had a huge crush on this pizza style since I tried a non-vegan version with grilled Chebe. I found this pine nut ricotta from a raw recipe long ago, and found wonderful use for it in a baked pine-nut lasagna. It's an especially nice recipe for those who must avoid soy as well as dairy (and gluten). Anyway, I thought this decadent, creamy sauce might be just the thing for complimenting tomato, fresh basil, and luxurious olive oil.
The sauce was perfect, and it really gave me the feeling of enjoying a lovely Marguerita (vegan) pizza. The DH also gave a thumbs up to the combination, and in typical Libra Boy fashion, couldn't pick a favorite between the two toppings. However, I could tell a huge difference in the CRUST that was prebaked versus the unbaked crust. Unfortunately after sitting out overnight, the baked crust became tough and my poor little pizza stone didn't do much but make it harder and crunchier.
To test it, I made a fresh pizza with the same two toppings and found again that it was pliable and lovely without toughness or excessive crunchiness. (Crunch is good, breaking teeth, not so good. Good thing my teeth are nice and strong.) And yes, we've been dining on nothing but pizza for the past two days straight, with a little allowed deviance for breakfast. Fabulously, despite all these experiments, we've still got two balls of dough in the refrigerator just waiting to be used in happy pizza-making-activity. Note to self: pizza dough made in advance is a very handy thing to have around.
I've had so much fun with this latest Daring Baker adventure, and hope that you enjoyed reading about my experiments. I think this adaption of Daring Baker dough does work very nicely for a thin crust pizza, but if you prefer a thicker and lighter crust, Carol Fenster's recipe specifically for gluten-free bakers is still my favorite. You may not be able to shape the dough in the same way, but it works really well. I also hear very good things about her latest pizza recipe using her new Sorghum blend. Her new pizza recipe is found in 1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes and was recently shared by the Celiac Chicks (with Carol's permission). However, if you would enjoy the satisfaction of shaping dough and having pizza dough on hand for use whenever you want it, you should definitely try this recipe, and come up with your own version of it 'cause it is yummy, and daring too. Who would have thought that a regular recipe based on gluten and yeast could be adapted so easily to be gluten-free?

Gluten Free Daring Baker Pizza Recipe
2 cups brown rice flour (superfine preferred)
2 cups tapioca starch
1/2 cup garfava bean flour
2 tbsp. + 2 tsp xanthan gum
1 3/4 Tsp Salt
4 tbsp. yeast
1 tbsp. Trader Joe's Pasta Seasoning
1/4 Cup (2 ounces/60g) Olive oil
2 Cups (14 ounces/420g or 420ml) Water, ice cold (40� F/4.5� C)
1 Tb sugar
4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
cornmeal for dusting
Nonstick cooking oil spray
Combine dry ingredients in a heavy duty Kitchenaid Mixer with the paddle or whisk, NOT bread hook, and add your wet ingredients slowly with mixer stirring slowly. You may wish to add more water to lighten dough, but don't let it get too wet or you won't be able to make balls of dough. Turn the beater in your kitchenaid up to high and let it beat the dough for five to seven minutes. it should get more elastic with time. If not, add more water and/or let it mix for longer.
Put a large cutting board on a counter, and cover it with wax paper. Spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray. Throw your dough onto the paper and work it into a nice, beautiful ball of dough.
Spray a metal or plastic dough scraper with nonstick cooking spray and then use it to cut the dough into FOUR equal pieces for large pizzas, OR six equal pieces for small to medium pieces.
You can sprinkle a little flour over each individual piece of dough and either spray your hand with nonstick cooking spray or cover it with a piece of cling wrap and pick up the dough, gently rounding each piece into a ball. Then wrap each one in a piece of cling wrap and place them in a large ziploc bag or tupperware to store in the refrigerator.
*Event NOTE: "You can store the dough balls in a zippered freezer bag if you want to save some of the dough for any future baking. In that case, pour some oil(a few tablespooons only) in a medium bowl and dip each dough ball into the oil, so that it is completely covered in oil. Then put each ball into a separate bag. Store the bags in the freezer for no longer than 3 months. The day before you plan to make pizza, remember to transfer the dough balls from the freezer to the refrigerator." You can leave them in overnight or longer. Or, many of us found that for the GF pizza it was fine to use the dough that very day.
Two hours before you want to bake the dough, put your large cutting board on the counter and cover it with a piece of aluminum foil (or wax paper). Spray it with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cornmeal. Toss the ball of dough onto the foil and cover it with the cling wrap that it was stored in. Gently press or roll out into the desired pizza shape using a mini rolling pin. If you like (and especially if you've made a small pizza) you can then move the foil and pizza to a safe location (using the cutting board to transport). Carefully slide the pizza covered foil onto the counter off of the cutting board. Cover the pizza crust lightly with wax or parchment paper. Then you can return the cutting board and repeat the process with another ball of dough.
Allow your pizza crust to rest for 2 hours.
At least 45 minutes before making the pizza, place a baking stone on the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven as hot as possible (550� F. etc.)
Event NOTE: If you do not have a baking stone, then use the back of a jelly pan. Do not preheat the pan.
After the dough has rested for two hours, lightly top it with toppings of your choice. Put back in the oven and bake until toppings are done, rotating as needed. It will probably take 5-10 minutes, depending on how crispy you want the crust.
*Tips for moving the pizza once topped. Simply slide a pizza peel under the aluminum foil and pizza and carefully move it to the hot pizza stone. If the pizza peel isn't big enough or you are worried about the dough breaking, you can use a larger flat thing like a cookie sheet to transport the dough and then slide the aluminum foil-pizza off onto the pizza stone.
Event note: If the top gets done before the bottom, you will need to move the stone or jelly pane to a lower shelf before the next round. On the contrary, if the bottom crisps before the cheese caramelizes, then you will need to raise the stone or jelly.
When the pizza is done, put it on a cutting board, let it rest a few minutes, and then slice and serve.
I like this recipe but wonder if this large volume manufacture works well with gluten-free flours. I may also adjust xanthan gum if i try it again, using less. Also I want to experiment with the baking process.
I'd give the topping a 9/10 but the crust is more like a 6/10 at this point, although it does handle very well.
Prebaking the dough results in a very tough dough the next day, so it is not recommended.
Gluten Free Vegan Marguerita Pizza Topping Recipe
1 gluten-free pizza crust (small, medium, or large)
1 roma tomato, thinly sliced and salted (for small pizza, for med-large you will need more), seeds removed
Combine soaked pine nuts, lemon juice, nutritional yeast and seasonings in blender with a small amount of water (1/8 to 1/4 cup, depending on desired texture. You can always add more water later, so be careful not to add too much early on!) Blend until you have a smooth and creamy sauce and then carefully use spatula to scrape into a small bowl.
Layer your gf pizza crust with Pine nut ricotta, tomato slices, and julienned basil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake according to pizza crust directions.
Gluten Free Vegan White Bianca Pizza Recipe
One gluten-free pizza crust (medium or large)
Vegan White Sauce Topping:
Caramelized red onions:
Marinated artichokes, rinsed in hot water and dried (to remove most of the oil)
For my vegan topping, I made a white garlic sauce and caramelized red onions.
How to make caramelized onions:
How to make vegan white garlic sauce:
When ready to assemble pizza, start by spreading the white garlic sauce evenly on the surface of your pizza. Top with spinach (optional), caramelized red onions, chopped pieces of artichoke heart, and pine nuts. Bake for recommended time above, remove from oven, let cool slightly and then serve. Yummy!

Got a friend who could mount it for you?
Think I will go simpler route for now: max3100 in dip package, add one for each extra serial port needed.Only 8 word FIFO, need to write some code I guess.
If MAXIM can offer a whole ATMega328 with a UART for <$6, why can't a standalone UART be offered for even less? Makes you wonder ...
Very nice, pity about the package, I'm getting better at soldering SMDs but that might be a problem.

Identifiers are Negative Authenticators
In a separate blog entry ( http://blog.onghome.com/2003/12/problems-with-biometrics.htm ), I pontificate on why biometrics should not be used as authenticators.
At best, biometrics can be used as identifiers (negative authenticators) -- if you don't have the biometric, you'll not be authenticated. But just because you have the biometric, does not mean that you're authenticated... something like how social security numbers or should be treated.
Perhaps we can label this class of identifiers Private Identifiers ... identifiers that you should try to keep as private as possible, but should expect that some group of people would have them. Private identifiers (your social security number), compared to public identifiers (your name), are expected to be more confidential... But I guess it is a matter of degree of public-ness we are talking about. A 100% private identifier is a secret that is never shared -- and thus, is pretty useless for identifying an entity.

Hello there. Could you please do the volume covers picture for Dragon Ball, Naruto and Detective Conan as well? And to post it somewhere on the forum. Thanks.
Thanks a lot!!!!
Do you have a high res edition of your signature photo? I think it's awesome.
That is a VERY good point. All of the groundwork was already there for Pudding to only be viewed as a tool. But you know Oda and his fixation on backstories focusing on the victim being some sort of social outcast based on prejudice.
I will see how everything turns out too. The flashback with Prometheus can come up, but I don't see why it couldn't have been shown earlier. We know Brook cut him, there's nothing to hide about that.
It's not that I'm really bothered by Bege's lack of screen time as much as that I would have really appreciated seeing how some of his plan came together than having everything conveniently setup off-panel when the alliance is about to be made. Bobbin was shot, but we had no indication of how Sanji could be followed by a third party. And that wounded Reiju cliffhanger still came a bit too much out of nowhere for my taste.
Pudding's eye though... That's just a plot point I straight up don't like. Especially since Oda set up a perfectly good reason for her to hesitate with Big Mom considering her and her eye something to solely be manipulated and used, to get what Big Mom wants. Sanji being the first person to see her as a person, beautiful or otherwise, instead of a tool would have been perfect! And it's a better show of human empathy (which seems to be more what his brothers lack, along with fear, than actual emotion) than simply saying she's pretty, ya know? It would actually be Sanji saving himself in the one way his brothers never could!
But it's not over yet. I'm willing to stay settled in and see how it all wraps up.
You make some good points. Hell, if 19 pages was still the average per chapter, we could have had all that without any extras. For me, not actually seeing Nami's part of the Cracker fight is the sorest loss.
That said, we could get a flashback to Brook vs Prometheus, especially if they come to blows again during the wedding. You never know, it might turn out there was something special about the method/circumstances of the wound. I wasn't personally bothered by Bege's lack of screentime - we did also have Bobbins getting shot, and the fact that he was one of the main speculated culprits of Reiju's shooting when that was a cliffhanger to keep him in our minds. I can see how it would be an issue though, and it'll be interesting to see how it all holds up rereading the arc when it's done.
lol I didn't notice that I never replied to this. Um... Chopper And Carrot's time in the Mirror World for sure. I would have preferred getting an extra page or two of Brook getting pummeled by Big Mom and Brook wounding Prometheus. Perhaps some pages of Bege's scheming and healthy relationship with Big Mom rather than only having him show up in the Pekoms attempt assassination scene before showing up again right before the Yonko Assassination Alliance is formed. I would have also liked to see how Nami found out rain could affect Cracker's biscuits with a few panels. And building up Pudding's third eye discrimination more.
I think all of that could have been done in the length of two chapters spread out in the arc.
I hope that Whole Cake Island lasts up to the 880's, meaning that Volumes 86 and 87 are completely about Whole Cake. That might seem a bit of a stretch, but that would be my preferred length to make up for how rushed some of the scenes and plotlines have been this arc with panel-time.
Yeeup. It's that time of the every three or four months again
Time for another signature alteration.

While I was talking to her she suddenly yelled the dreaded "Oh no! You're making me have a seizure! Here it comes!"
This was followed by a an acting job with yelling, thrashing, and moaning that looked more like Meg Ryan's famous deli scene from "When Harry Met Sally" then any kind of epilepsy I've ever seen.
"Oh God! Oh my God! Oh my God! I'm having a seizure! I'm seizing! Oh! Oh! Oh!"
After it was over she opened her eyes and said "Did you think I was having a seizure?"
I thought about telling her what I really thought she was having, but decided to keep my mouth shut.

Main page content
Student debt is one of the most salient issues in higher education today. For most it is a useful tool facilitating access to continued education and new opportunities, for others it is an unmanageable lifetime burden, threatening success at every turn. Some students fear debt and prolong their education, depriving themselves of years of higher earnings; some economically disadvantaged students may not even consider a career in certain fields (such as Medicine, where average debt upon graduation is over $150,000 or teaching, where entry level salaries are relatively low) or may make career choices primarily on the basis of minimizing debt.
The overall growth in student loan debt—which now surpasses national credit card debt—and the increase instudent loan defaults have become national concerns. An analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of New Yorkreports total student loan debt to be $870 billion (with 37 million borrowers), making student loans a material part of both total consumer debt as well as United States national debt. As stated in The Project on Student Debt, two-thirds of college seniors who graduated in 2011 had student loan debt, averaging $26,200. Of particular concern is the growing number of students who borrow but do not earn a degree. And student loan debt often cannot be shed, even in bankruptcy.
Given the growing influence of student debt in determining one's future and its relevance to a student's overall success, The University of Texas System convened a group named the Student Debt Reduction Task Force (Task Force) to examine this critically important issue. The purpose of the Task Force is to better understand thefactors which impact the burden of student debt, to creatively consider alternatives which might lessen that debt burden, and to recommend actions which would, over time, enhance a student's likelihood of success and reduce the number of persons who carry unmanageable student debt.
Serving on the Task Force are 14 individuals with varying expertise and knowledge on the subject of student loan debt. The members come from within and without The University of Texas System and bring both local and national perspectives (full Task Force member biographies may be viewed in Appendix A). Members of the Task Force serve as individuals and do not represent any particular organizations or special interests. The Task Force meetings have included extensive data collection and review, much of which is based on external analyses of the issues, supplemented by internal information gathering and reporting. Subject matter experts have presented research and been interviewed by Task Force members, providing additional outside viewpoints. The report seeks to be an objective, evidence-based consideration of the issues to be shared with and considered by universityofficials, policy makers, interested groups, and the public.
Ultimately, the Task Force hopes to provide an accurate assessment of the current student loan debt crisis,framing the issue and delivering recommendations that minimize the risk of students being burdened withunmanageable debt upon graduation.

From what was a very unpromising situation after the war, Doboj is becoming one of the inter-ethnic success stories in Republika Srpska. At the same time, however, the municipality reflects all of the many economic and social problems the country faces today.
The municipality of Doboj – the frontline cutting right through it during the war – was literally torn apart by the conflict. Nearly all the non-Serbs were expelled from the Serb-held areas; numerous war crimes were committed, and Bosniaks were systematically tortured in detention camps. Now, as current Doboj mayor Obren Petrovic explains, the town is trying to make a break with its past.
"The economy does not do well with political tensions. The sooner these tensions stop, the sooner the political obstacles are overcome, the quicker the economic situation will improve."
Following the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, Doboj remained a tense frontline town, where the mono-ethnic Republika Srpska faced off against the Bosniak and Croat Federation across the new 'inter-entity boundary line' – which followed the old military frontline. Doboj was notorious as a centre of hard-line Serb nationalism.
The old Muslim quarter had been "ethnically cleansed" of its occupants, with its houses illegally occupied. The few remaining non-Serbs in Doboj were under intense pressure to leave. The Bosniak and Croat villages in the vicinity had been ruthlessly destroyed. The SDS (Serb Democratic Party), founded by indicted war criminal Radovan Karadzic, held a firm grip on Doboj. There was little reason to hope that the multi-ethnic life of this region could ever be restored.
Doboj's population had been mixed before the war. According to the 1991 census, Doboj municipality had 102,630 inhabitants: 40% were Bosniaks and 39% were Serbs. Croats made up 13%, and those who chose to define themselves as Yugoslavs and other nationalities totalled 8%.
The majority of the population lived in villages, which (as throughout Bosnia) were predominantly mono-ethnic. There were 10 Croat, 17 Bosniak and 40 Serb villages. Only 5 villages were mixed.
The dismantling of the town's war-time police structures in 1998, however, opened the way to the return of Doboj's Bosniaks. Over the past decade, over half of the pre-war Bosniak population, an estimated 16,000-18,000 people, have returned. 16 mosques have been re-built.
Mayor Obren Petrovic, elected in 2004 as a new face of the SDS, envisages a new future for Doboj:
"When I became mayor four years ago, I wanted to open up Doboj. As soon as I opened up the secondary schools, Bosniak kids started attending them. We have to continue on this path. The C5 highway will be built, and we have the railways. I regret that we don't have a decent hotel. We should connect northern Croatia with the Croatian coast, and people could stay here overnight."
Enes Suljkanovic
The President of the Municipal Assembly, Enes Suljkanovic, is a Bosniak. He confirms the improved political situation:
"I must stress that since the returns started in the year 2000 until today, there has not been a single incident (problem) among the ethnic groups."
Doboj's Gradina (Fortress)
A visitor who climbs through the old Muslim quarter towards Doboj's Gradina fortress will find an area that is once again returning to life. In this historic centre (carsija), whose roots go back to the 15th century, half of the original Bosniak population has now returned.
Entering the Gradina fortress, a visitor is greeted by a guard in mediaeval costume. There is an "ethno-café", a small stage, and a newly built playground. Since it re-opened in 2006, the fortress has hosted a range of cultural events, including a February 2007 Bosnian cuisine festival, attended by women dressed in traditional Serb, Bosniak and Croat costumes. After years of neglect, life has returned to Gradina.
In the higher education sector, the pace of ethnic re-integration has been striking. Today there are two state university faculties in the centre of Doboj: one for technology and one for transport studies. There are also a number of new private universities. In total, nearly 2,500 students attend these institutions. Remarkably, more than a third of them are non-Serbs, and a large proportion comes from the Federation.
Disarmament, return and reconstruction are success stories whose magnitude few outsiders fully appreciate. Peace reigns today along the former front line. This in turn has brought the seeds of new economic activity to the municipality.
Doboj skyline
However, Doboj is only now – 13 years after the war – starting on the path to sustained economic development. Only 34.5 percent of the municipality's working age population has a formal income at the moment. The employment problem is even worse in rural areas. The old agricultural cooperatives have collapsed. No more than 250 farmers in Doboj municipality own more than 5 hectares of land.
Only three companies have managed to increase employment numbers after privatisation: RKTK Doboj, a limestone mine and lime factory in Sevarlije; TKS Dalekovod, a producer of transmission lines, pylons and related metal constructions north of Doboj town; and the lignite mine in Stanari to the west. All three cases involved foreign direct investment.
In the cafés in the centre of Doboj, young and old openly discuss all types of employment opportunities, most involving migration. Experiences are shared: some have worked as waiters on American cruise ships; others have discovered how to illegally enter Malta. Some work for Serb firms that build oil processing plants in Romania. Others are considering a new temporary work programme in the Czech Republic. During the summer Montenegro offers jobs for workers in its booming tourism and construction industries. To provide people the jobs that would allow them to stay home, Mayor Obren Petrovic says, "We have to create the conditions to become a trade centre and a traffic junction again, a regional centre."

Lucky and thankful, shark attack survivor Jon Hines feels anything but a victim.
The Newcastle surfer, 34, instead sees himself as a winner after taking on a monster tiger shark at a remote Western Australian beach and surviving.
Ten weeks into a rehabilitation process which could last for more than four years, the civil engineer has broken his silence to thank the medical staff who saved his arm and the huge number of well-wishes he has received since the August 28 attack.
''The message is: still alive, thank you and we are moving on,'' Mr Hines said.
''Family, friends, the surfing fraternity have just been absolutely fantastic in the support that they have given me.''
Mr Hines is reluctant to speak about the life-and-death battle he had at the iconic surfing break at Red Bluff, nearly 1000 kilometres north of Perth, for fear he could be branded a ''big noter''.
But he has talked about knowing he had to go into attack mode if he was to survive a second charge from the shark after it had already bitten him as he wiped out on a wave near the reef.
''It was survival mode. Fight or flight, I chose fight and it was a fight all right – it will be the biggest fight of my life,'' he said.
''It not only got me once but it got me twice and they say if a shark bites you once it's accidental, it thinks you're food.
''But if it bites you twice it is trying to eat you.''
Mr Hines' tale of survival is even more extraordinary when it is revealed what he had to endure, after being bitten on the stomach and right arm, just to get to some medical attention. With massive gashes which would later need about 1000 stitches, Mr Hines was first dragged from the surf by a legendary big-wave surfer nicknamed Camel.
Surfers carried him about 500 metres on his board, across limestone pinnacles and through spinifex needles which caused their feet to bleed, to camp.
It was survival mode. Fight or flight, I chose fight and it was a fight all right – it will be the biggest fight of my life.
From there, brother Nathan held a tourniquet on his arm and mate Nigel Anderson held in the stomach wound as they drove along a remote dirt road towards help. They met an ambulance which took Mr Hines to Carnarvon Hospital before he was flown by the Royal Flying Doctors Service to Royal Perth Hospital for emergency surgery.
''To be perfectly honest, the whole journey has been as good as it could have gone in regards to the treatment and the way people have helped me out,'' he said.
''There was a myriad things that did [save my life]. There was a lot of things that could have gone the other way which could have ended it up with a different result.
''It's the combined effort of everybody and I need to appreciate that it wasn't just one of these guys, it was everyone's effort.''
Mr Hines revealed how he expected to wake up without his right arm after seeing the amount of damage, praising the surgeons who worked for hours to keep it attached.
''When you are in that position and you are wanting to survive, it is your first instinct and if it means at the loss of something else, you are willing to take that sacrifice I suppose. I think it is a miracle and it is a wonder of the surgeons that it is still there,'' he said.
After the first of six operations to his arm, Mr Hines began the slow rehabilitation process. Doctors closed the wounds using 174 external stitches and more than 400 internal stitches to his stomach, as well as 96 external stitches and a further 300 internal stitches.
He underwent more than two months of intensive rehabilitation in Perth before flying home.
There will be another operation in about 12 months after doctors decided to only re-attach severed ligaments to allow them to strengthen before looking at the tendon and muscle damage.
Mr Hines is hoping he will get a significant amount of movement back, but only after about four years of constant work. He has returned to work part-time and is moving on.
''I feel like I have won – I have fought a shark and I have won.''
''I have always enjoyed life and I hope I continue to enjoy life rather than letting it take over,'' he said.
''It is what it is and I am going to get as much out of it as possible and I am determined to do that.''
That includes possibly jumping back into the water with his wife, Bridget, at some stage.
Mr Hines has also been in contact with Glen 'Lenny' Folkard, who was attacked by a bull shark while surfing at Redhead Beach and lives only about 100metres from Mr Hines' parents home, and other shark attack survivors.
''They have actually got a bit of a group going on so Lenny welcomed me to the group and said it was exclusive.'' I just said: 'but the initiation is a bit of a bitch'.''
But he is looking at the positives, and knows things could have been a whole lot worse.
''I am lucky. Lucky and thankful and positive moving forward is my message.''

NOTE: Great article from Belinda Martineau, a molecular geneticist at UC Davis, and a former genetic engineer. Martineau was Principal Scientist at Calgene (a firm eventually acquired by Monsanto), where she helped develop the world's first commercially available genetically engineered food, the Flavr Savr tomato. She is the author of "First Fruit: The Creation of the Flavr Savr Tomato and the Birth of Biotech Food".
A scientist says yes on Prop 37 to label genetically engineered food
Belinda Martineau
Mercury News, 29 October 2012
I'm a molecular geneticist who helped commercialize the world's first genetically engineered whole food. I wholeheartedly support providing Californians with information about whether the foods in their grocery stores have been genetically engineered. I believe this issue is now best left to lay society to examine.
Richard Feynman, the late, great Nobel laureate in physics, would have agreed with me. He said that scientists have a duty to explain the science that forms the foundation of a new technology to non-scientists -- and to not only "tell what's true but...make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind" about how the technology should or shouldn't be used.
Once scientists have told the truth, warts and all (and genetic engineering has its share of warts), society as a whole must decide how to use and control the technology based on that science. Controlling technology, Feynman said, "is something not so scientific and is not something that the scientist knows so much about."
The question of whether to label genetically engineered (GE) foods, as Proposition 37 would require, is not about science. Prop 37 is about people having the right to know what's in their food and how it was produced. It's about making competition in a free market--the hallmark of capitalism--more transparent. And it's about fairness. American companies must label their GE products for sale in some 50 other countries; they should label them for us as well.
It's also about common sense. "Water" must be listed as an ingredient on U.S. food labels, but American shoppers do not know whether fresh corn in their local produce aisles might contain a pesticide (or three) genetically engineered into every cell in every kernel. Prop 37 is about our democratic society deciding how to deal with the powerful technology of genetic engineering as it relates to our food supply. And I believe, as more a "participant historian" than a scientist per se, that a couple of historical facts are pertinent to making this important decision.
First, the world's first commercially available GE food, Calgene's Flavr Savr tomato, was labeled. Back in 1994, stickers on plastic-wrapped packages informed shoppers that the tomatoes contained in them had been "Grown From Genetically Modified Seeds." An accompanying tomato-shaped brochure explained the process and gave an 800 number for consumers who wanted still more information.
Second, those labeled GE tomatoes were favorably received by the public. They were so popular for a time that one grocer took to rationing them -- two tomatoes per person per day. Transparency was evidently good for both buyers and sellers of the world's first GE food.
But no GE food has been labeled in the United States since the Flavr Savr tomato. For nearly 18 years, even though poll after poll has indicated that the public wants these products labeled, transparency about GE foods has gone missing in U.S. grocery stores. Capitalism and the U.S. regulatory system for dealing with the food products of genetic engineering have let Americans down.
Democracy, via Prop 37, now serves as a means for Californians to regain a transparency about GE foods that died along with Calgene's tomato. And this citizen-scientist, for one, is voting "yes" on Prop 37.
Belinda Martineau earned her bachelor's degree in biology from Harvard University and her doctorate in genetics from U.C. Berkeley. She was a Principal Scientist at Calgene, Inc. and is the author of "First Fruit: The Creation of the Flavr Savr Tomato and the Birth of Biotech Food". She wrote this for this newspaper.

It may have been a very bad week for Donald Trump, but for "Saturday Night Live" it was a bottomless buffet's worth of material to draw from.
The late-night series' cold open began with the an encore of the vice presidential debate between Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. In the segment, cast member Beck Bennett's Pence vehemently denies that Trump has made derogatory comments about women.
"Donald Trump loves women. He respects women. He's never said a single bad thing about women and I dare you to show me a single shred of evidence that proves otherwise," Bennett said before the debate is interrupted with a special CNN breaking news report detailing the leaked audio of Trump's conversation with former "Access Hollywood" anchor Billy Bush in 2005.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Alec Baldwin returned to studio 8H to portray the GOP presidential nominee, following his debut impression of the brash businessman on the show last week.
"Are you not entertained?" Baldwin's Trump asked CNN's Brooke Baldwin, played by Cecily Strong — a reference to Trump's defense of some of his other comments about women being done in the name of entertainment.
And while Strong's Baldwin fumbled for the words to describe the comments captured in the tape, Trump had no problem saying it directly into his microphone, stunning the CNN anchor.
"Now I would like to take this time to formally 'applegize,'" Trump began in the same backdrop that his videotaped apology was recorded from.
"Are you trying to say 'apologize?'" Strong interrupted.
"No, I would never do that. What I am doing is 'applegizing' to all the people who were offended by my statements," Trump explained. "But more importantly, to the people who were turned on by them. I hear it's really 50-50."
Strong gives Baldwin's Trump a chance to make one last impassioned plea to women voters.
"Listen, women, if you give me a chance, I promise I can do a whole lot more than just grab it. I can also bop it, twist it, pull it."
CNN goes live to Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters where the Democratic nominee is doing her "debate prep."
"I'm sorry, Brooke. I'm sorry, didn't see you, we were so busy preparing for the debate tomorrow," said castmember Kate McKinnon's Clinton as "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang played in the background. "I'm really excited for this one."
Host Lin-Manuel Miranda delivered a musical monologue parody of the "Hamilton" hit "My Shot." Mirando joked that "Hamilton" is about two ruthless New York politicians fighting tooth-and-nail for control of the country: "You know… escapism."
Returning to politics, "SNL" showed us that there's no rest for the weary when you're Donald Trump's campaign manager. McKinnon played an overworked Kellyanne Conway, who was forced on multiple occasions to put her day off on hold to go on CNN and try to defend Trump's latest Twitter faux pas to anchor Jake Tapper, played by Bennett.
Whether it's twisting a clearly-worded tweet about Hillary Clinton cheating on Bill into Trump saying that she was cheating the American people or Trump holding up a cup of his own semen at a campaign rally, Conway was always there put a spin on things.
A usually eager McKinnon's Conway finally snaps, calling Trump "crazy" and saying he's the "worst person I've ever ever known."
The real Kellyanne Conway, meanwhile, canceled her scheduled appearance on Fox News Sunday, the network announced on Twitter. The Trump campaign replaced Conway with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Weekend Update got a visit from two old friends: former anchors Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon. The "SNL" alumni played Denise and Doreen, a pair of undecided female voters from Philadelphia.
Co-anchor Colin Jost asked the voters how they felt about their status as the "most sought-after voters in the country" and for their opinions on the candidates.
While Fallon's Doreen said he thought both Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton "are bad," Fey's Denise couldn't resist breaking character to mock the "Tonight Show" host's playful interview when the GOP nominee was on the show.
"You love Trump," Fey said to Fallon. "You're always like, 'Oh his hair's real, ya know.'"
Musical guest Twenty-One Pilots rocked their Suicide Squad single "Heathens" followed by "Ride" off 2015's Blurryface.
"Access Hollywood" is owned and distributed by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, MSNBC, and this station.

I'm going to keep the momentum going by uploading another tutorial on Hello Kitty dressed up as one of our favorite characters from television. Here is "how to draw Spongebob Hello Kitty", step by step. This version of Kitty is so incredibly cute. They should actually start a plush line with a bunch of different versions of Hello Kitty because I know they would fly off the shelf. Anyways, just like Finn Hello Kitty knows how to rock out dressed up as anybody. She is like this universal looking character that fits any suit you put on. Have fun drawing Spongebob Hello Kitty folks, and I will be back with other stuff for you to tackle.

Farrah Abraham -- My Sex Tape Co-Star Has a Small ...
Farrah Abraham My Sex Tape Co-Star Has a Small ...
Farrah Abraham is so pissed that James Deen blew the lid off her sex tape scheme, she went straight for the jugular when expressing her feelings about him -- and by jugular, we mean his manhood (and by manhood, we mean penis).
The "Teen Mom" star has been in a war of words with Deen ever since he told us that Farrah's "sex tape" was really just a porn shot at her request.
Farrah took a below-the-belt shot at Deen while talking to our photog yesterday ... which is ridiculous and gross -- ridiculous because he's a male porn star (um, hello!?!?!?) and gross because her mom was standing there the whole time.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

AV receiver is your gadget if opt for exceptional audio quality and advanced video features. If you are out buying a AV receiver then you definitely do know its features and its need. Your concern should not be what AV receiver to buy but how and for what are you going to buy. Before buying an AV receiver, you should first check the rest of your gadgets and be satisfies with them too. For example, if you have speakers that are not in that good shape to give the best out of your AV receiver then, it will be of no use. Similarly, if you have to get confined to a smaller video screen and you do not have a projector then it serves no purpose.
Choosing the best one for you can make your new AV receiver the center piece of your home theater that goes all well with your other electronics. If you have the right AV receiver, you can enjoy the best of audio and video effects at your home. It doesn't matter if other components like your TV set, DVD or speakers are not from the same manufacture, in fact its even better but sometimes they might have problems in regards to connections, remote controls and others.
AV receiver is supposed to handle both audio and video sources. This is the master of the home theater system so it need to have both digital and analog connections for sound as well as video players. You can also get AV receiver connected to your computer. Many audio and video files come into digital formats these days that are easily operated in computer. So this connecting facilitated to get the best out your invested money.
Check for both sound and video qualities before you settle down for any AV receiver. Most AV receivers tilt towards giving out best of movie sound than music sound. So you have to check on this aspect too. Play with the remote control for some time and get the knowledge about the operation too. Some are pretty user friendly but some may give problems for they need to be posed in the very sensor position. Sometimes it is better idea to get a universal remote control that operates all your gadgets like TVset, DVD player, music system and AV receiver by the same one.
Read the manuals of different Av receivers available in the market. You never know which one is giving you the extra functions. Check out all the functions available and how they can be used. Test the sound with your CDs and music. There are some, that are compatible with ipods too. Getting along with trend, you can definitely go for these latest models that gives to facilitates the use to latest innovations too. Get the ones that are USB compatible, some of the models even have memory slots. If you are looking to get an advancing gadget, then its better idea to get most advanced once amongst them. But of course consult with your budget and as already said with your current system.Close

How Effective Are In-Clinic Abortion Procedures?
You can feel confident in knowing that these abortion methods are very effective. They work almost every time they are done. You'll follow up with your health care provider after your abortion so you can be sure that it worked and that you are well.
What Happens During an In-Clinic Abortion?
It's common for women to be nervous about having an abortion — or any other medical procedure. But most of us feel better if we know what to expect. Your health care provider will talk with you and answer your questions. But here's a general idea of how it works and what to expect.
Before the abortion procedure, you will need to
- discuss your options
- talk about your medical history
- have laboratory tests
- have a physical exam — which may include an ultrasound
- read and sign papers
During an aspiration abortion
- Your health care provider will examine your uterus.
- You will get medicine for pain. You may be offered sedation — a medicine that allows you to be awake but deeply relaxed.
- A speculum will be inserted into your vagina.
- Your health care provider may inject a numbing medication into or near your cervix.
- The opening of your cervix may be stretched with dilators — a series of increasingly thick rods. Or you may have absorbent dilators inserted a day or a few hours before the procedure. They will absorb fluid and get bigger. This slowly stretches open your cervix. Medication may also be used with or without the dilators to help open your cervix.
- You will be given antibiotics to prevent infection.
- A tube is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
- Either a hand-held suction device or a suction machine gently empties your uterus.
- Sometimes, an instrument called a curette is used to remove any remaining tissue that lines the uterus. It may also be used to check that the uterus is empty. When a curette is used, people often call the abortion a D&C; — dilation and curettage.
An aspiration procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. But more time may be needed to prepare your cervix. Time is also needed for talking with your provider about the procedure, a physical exam, reading and signing forms, and a recovery period of about one hour.
During a D&E;
- Your health care provider will examine you and check your uterus.
- You will get medication for pain. You may be offered sedation or IV medication to make you more comfortable.
- A speculum will be inserted into your vagina.
- Your cervix will be prepared for the procedure. You may be given medication or have absorbent dilators inserted a day or a few hours before the procedure. They will absorb fluid and grow bigger. This slowly stretches open your cervix.
- You will be given antibiotics to prevent infection.
- In later second-trimester procedures, you may also need a shot through your abdomen to make sure that the fetus's heart stops before the procedure begins.
- Your health care provider will inject a numbing medication into or near your cervix.
- Medical instruments and a suction machine gently empty your uterus.
A D&E; usually takes between 10 and 20 minutes. But more time is needed to prepare your cervix. Time is also needed for talking with your provider about the procedure, a physical exam, reading and signing forms, and a recovery period of about one hour.
You may have concerns about how an abortion will feel. Most women feel pain similar to menstrual cramps with both of these abortion methods. For others, it is more uncomfortable.
Your health care provider will help to make it as comfortable as possible. You will be given pain medication. Local numbing medicines are usually used. Some clinics offer sedation. Rarely, general anesthesia may be offered for certain procedures. It allows a woman to sleep through the procedure — but it increases the medical risks and how long you must remain at the clinic.
You may have cramps after an abortion. You will probably want to relax for the rest of the day.
You may have some bleeding after your abortion. This is normal. You may pass a few clots about the size of a quarter. It's normal to have
- spotting that lasts up to six weeks
- heavy bleeding for a few days
- bleeding that stops and starts again
Only use pads for bleeding after an abortion.
It's also normal to have no bleeding after an abortion.
If you are concerned about your bleeding after an abortion, give your health care provider a call.

How Safe Are In-Clinic Abortion Procedures?
Safety is an important and common concern for women. In-clinic abortion procedures are very safe. But there are risks with any medical procedure. The risks increase the longer you are pregnant. They also increase if you have sedation or general anesthesia. Possible risks include
- an allergic reaction
- blood clots in the uterus
- incomplete abortion — part of the pregnancy is left inside the uterus
- failure to end the pregnancy
- infection
- injury to the cervix or other organs
- undetected ectopic pregnancy
- very heavy bleeding
Most often, these complications are simple to treat with medicine or other treatments.
Even though in-clinic abortion procedures are generally very safe, in extremely rare cases, serious complications may be fatal. To understand this risk, it may help to compare it to the risk of childbirth:
- The risk of death from childbirth is 11 times greater than the risk of death from an abortion procedure during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy.
- After 20 weeks, the risk of death from childbirth and abortion are about the same.
Overall, the risk of death from abortion increases the longer a woman has been pregnant.
Serious complications may have warning signs. Call your health care provider right away if you have
- very heavy bleeding — if you pass clots larger than a lemon or soak through more than two maxi pads an hour, for two hours or more in a row
- severe pain or discomfort that is not helped by medication, rest, a hot water bottle, or a heating pad
- chills and a fever of 100.4°F or higher after the day of the procedure
- nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhe that lasts more than 24 hours
- an unpleasant, smelly discharge from your vagina
- signs that you are still pregnant
What Can I Expect After an In-Clinic Abortion?
Your health care provider will let you know what to do and what not to do after your abortion. Many of us feel shy about asking questions, but your provider is there to help you. Feel free to get answers to all of your questions. You might even find it helpful to make a list before you see your health care provider so you remember the questions you want to ask.
- You will rest in a recovery area.
- If you have an Rh-negative blood type, you will receive a shot to protect your future pregnancies.
- You will receive written after-care instructions and a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week telephone number you can call if you have any questions or concerns.
- Depending on which clinic you visit, you may be able to have an IUD inserted at the same time as your abortion procedure. If you want an IUD, ask the clinic when you schedule your abortion procedure if it would be possible to have an IUD inserted at the same time.
- You may be asked to make a follow-up appointment in 2 to 4 weeks.
- If you've had sedation, don't drive and bring someone to help get you home.
- You can usually return to work or other normal activities the next day. Recovery after D&E; may take longer.
- You may shower as soon as you wish. Do not sit in water, douche, or use medicines in your vagina.
You may have a wide range of feelings after your abortion. Most women ultimately feel relief after an abortion. Some women feel anger, regret, guilt, or sadness for a little while.
Serious, long-term emotional problems after abortion are about as uncommon as they are after giving birth. You may be more likely to have emotional problems after abortion for certain reasons. Some of these reasons are
- having a history of emotional problems before your abortion
- having important people in your life who aren't supportive of your decision to have an abortion
- having to terminate a wanted pregnancy because your health or the health of your fetus is in danger
If you want to talk with someone after an abortion, abortion providers can talk with you or refer you to a licensed counselor or to nonjudgmental support groups. You could also contact Exhale, a free, after-abortion talkline, that provides confidential and nonjudgmental emotional support, information, and resources for women who have had abortions.
Abortion begins a new menstrual cycle. You should have a regular period in 4 to 8 weeks.
Many health care providers recommend that you not have vaginal intercourse or insert anything into your vagina for one week after the abortion.
You can get pregnant very soon after an abortion. So, birth control is an important and common concern for many women after abortion. Talk with your health care provider about getting a birth control method that's best for you.
Where Can I Get an In-Clinic Abortion? How Much Does It Cost?
Abortions are available at many Planned Parenthood health centers, clinics, and the offices of private health care providers. Use our health center locator to find the nearest Planned Parenthood health center that offers abortion services. If there is not a health center nearby that provides the abortion services you need, call your nearest center for a list of referrals.
It can be difficult to find a health care provider who performs abortions after the first trimester. To find one of these providers, call The National Abortion Federation at 1-877-257-0012. Please keep in mind that after about 24 weeks of pregnancy, abortions are usually performed only for serious health reasons.
Nationwide, it can cost up to $1,500 for abortion in the first trimester, but it's often less. The cost is usually more for a second-trimester abortion. Costs vary depending on how long you've been pregnant and where you go. Hospitals generally cost more.

NATO-backed rebels enjoy "sexual jihad"
Paul Joseph Watson
April 3, 2013
Another Islamic cleric has gone public to announce a fatwa that permits US-backed FSA rebels to rape non-Sunni women in Syria as part of a "sexual jihad" that has seen girls as young as 14 transported into the country to service the needs of anti-Assad militants.
"Salafi Sheikh Yasir al-'Ajlawni, a Jordanian of origin who lived in Damascus, Syria for 17 years, posted a YouTube video last week where he said he was preparing to issue a "legitimate fatwa" making it legal (in the eyes of Islam) for those Muslims fighting to topple secular president Bashar Assad and install Sharia law to "capture and have sex with" all non-Sunni women, specifically naming Assad's own sect, the Alawites, as well as the Druze and several others, basically, all non-Sunnis and non-Muslims," reports Human Events.
As CNS News reported earlier this week, girls as young as 14 are being sent to Syria from other middle eastern and north African countries following a call by Saudi scholar Sheikh Mohamed al-Arifi for rebels to engage in "sexual jihad," a so-called "temporary marriage" that amounts to little more than sex slavery.
Though he later backtracked after pressure, "al-Arifi had issued a fatwa saying Syrian rebels can "temporarily marry" Syrian girls as young as 14, and promising "paradise" to the "wives" concerned," states the report.
The fatwa allowed "intercourse marriage" with captive Syrian women that lasts for a few hours "in order to give each fighter a turn," which as the Human Events report notes, is "also known as gang-rape."
Egyptian Sheikh Ishaq Huwaini also once urged "infidel captives" to be taken to "the slave market, where slave-girls and concubines are sold" and distributed amongst jihadists.
"You go to the market and buy her, and she becomes like your legal mate—though without a contract, a guardian, or any of that stuff—and this is agreed upon by the ulema…. In other words, when I want a sex-slave, I go to the market and pick whichever female I desire and buy her," said Huwaini.
While innumerable reports of FSA militants raping Syrian women have been ignored by the mainstream media, the Atlantic Wire today claims that a mere 1 per cent of all rapes in Syria are carried out by opposition fighters and that the vast majority are committed by "regime soldiers," despite evidence that Assad troops have repeatedly been ordered not to sexually molest women.
Syrian girls are also being raped by Jordanians in refugee camps,
"Men – usually from Saudi Arabia and other gulf states – are given free rein at the camp. Coming in the guise of benefactors offering charity, in return many want a wife, reports Channel 4 News. "But these are marriages of convenience – for the men at least. So called "pleasure marriages", they give cover – a sheen of respectability – to what is often wealthy men exploiting vulnerable women for sex."
It's particularly ironic that extremist Salafist militants – who believe their cause is pious and righteous as they behead prisoners while screaming "Allahu Akbar" in anticipation of their 72 virgins – are still being labeled "freedom fighters" by the mainstream media, even as they gang-rape children and commit a plethora of other atrocities.
Raymond Ibrahim, an Associate Fellow at the Middle East Forum, noted that extremist Muslim support for making rape acceptable in Syria and elsewhere is by no means an aberration and that, "The only aberration seems to be the United States' wholesale support for self-professed rapists and terrorists—quite laughably, in the name of "democracy."

Quote from: Danny on May 09, 2017, 07:11:47 amIs there going to be a benchmark for Version 4 with the new clouds? Going by the emails I recieve from customers I think this is something that is very important. New clouds are great but with they require long rendertimes. This needs to be trouble shot and a standard benchmark scene can help everyone understand them better, by comparing results etc. I know things are busy back there. Perhaps in the near future?
Quote from: Oshyan on August 11, 2017, 03:07:16 pmWow, those are some incredibly impressive render times. They'd be 2nd on our list of the older TG3 benchmark times, bested only by a dual CPU, 14 core-per-CPU Xeon E5-2690 v4 machine, which of course is far, far more expensive than Threadripper. That's an absolutely amazing result for a single CPU machine. I'm looking forward to seeing how Threadripper does on the upcoming Terragen 4 benchmark too. It's unfortunate that 2p (dual CPU) motherboards seem to be reserved for Epyc at the moment because it runs at significantly lower clock speeds, even in the 16 core model. Imagine a dual Threadripper machine...- Oshyan

Well guys, yesterday was such a cozy night because I had the woodstove burning as I watched Transformers 3 on Blu-Ray. To me the movie stunk, but my twelve year old brother liked it a lot and I think it's mainly because there is a lot of action involved. Anyways, I am going to start the day off with a super simple and super adorable tutorial on "how to draw penguins for kids", step by step. I noticed that more and more people are asking me for penguin related stuff and since I too am a fan of penguins, I love making lessons based on these animals. The lesson itself is super easy to follow and replicate so I have no doubt that whoever tackles this tutorial, they will finish it in no time at all. So go ahead and have some good fun as you begin your adventure to drawing penguins for kids. Peace people and enjoy!

When dealing with conveyancing and contracts, it is likely you will encounter numerous legal terms. We aim to make the entire conveyancing process simple. This handy glossary tackles a few of the most common terms you may come across.
Of course, our friendly team of Conveyancers are always on hand to give you advice or guidance, free of charge and obligation.
Certificate of Title
The certificate issued by the government in the relevant state that demonstrates the ownership of the property. Many states are moving to an electronic form, however a paper copy is usually also available.
Community Titles Scheme (also known as Strata title)
The title given in multi-dwelling developments. This title can be both volumetric e.g. the position of a 10th floor apartment in comparison to all other apartments in the development, or a particular townhouse amongst a group of townhouses. The title has the same rights as the title associated with a block of land accepting there are usually common areas, e.g. Corridors, driveways, pool areas, etc. Strata titles are invariably managed by a body corporate whose members are made up of the strata title owners.
The contract is the written or printed document that obligates a buyer and seller to complete all of the steps necessary to transfer property. In some states you will sign preliminary documentation which will assist in drawing the acutual binding contract.
A person or firm that conducts the transaction anticipated in a contract. The Conveyancer prepares and/or checks all documentation and advises the buyer or the seller of their rights and obligations and manages the property transaction. In some states of Australia a conveyancer does not need to be part of a law firm. The exception is QLD where only a law firm can conduct a conveyance. ConveyancingDirect is part of a Law Firm.
Cooling-off Period
Length of time where the purchaser of the property may change their mind about the purchase and opt out of the purchase.
Amounts that are expended on your behalf to outside parties e.g. Councils, Government Departments to either obtain information or search results. These are fixed costs determined by the Council or Government that provide the information.
The point at which a binding contract is passed from the buyer to the seller or vice versa which has been signed by both parties.
Finance Date
The date upon which you must be able to confirm that the bank will lend you money if you are borrowing. It is not the date from which you need the money, rather the date upon which the bank confirms they will provide you the money at settlement.
First Home Owners Grant
From time to time the government may offer a grant for First Home Buyers. The Grant amount may vary as does eligibility. For the latest guidelines and information, visit your local Office of State Revenue site:
Lands Titles Office
The central registry for the ownership of real property in each state.
The granting of a right to occupy certain premises as defined in the lease for a period of time, in return for a payment of a certain amount of money. A lease gives you certain rights in the land/property, but is not equivalent to Freehold Rights (which indicates the ultimate ownership right available in Australia).
Mortgage is another name for a document which secures a loan. The mortgage can be registered on the Title and shows the interest of a person or body that has lent money to the owner of the property.
The person or body under a Loan Agreement who has lent money.
The person or body under a Loan Agreement who has borrowed money.
Professional Fee
The fee that you pay your Conveyancer or Lawyer who conducts your property transaction.
A person buying a property.
Registered Proprietor
The person who is registered on the title as being the owner of the property.
The date or point at which the actual property transfer occurs, i.e. The payment of monies and the delivery of documents necessary for the registration of the new owner on title.
Settlement Agent
A person who attends settlement on behalf of a buyer or seller.
Stamp Duty
Also known as 'Transfer Duty'. The amount levied by the government on the transaction as a State Tax. The Stamp Duty amount varies from State to State. To find your local Stamp Duty amount, visit your local Office of State Revenue site:
Strata Title
Please see under Community Titles Scheme
Torrens System/Title
Is the system of titling used in Australia in every State. It includes all types of land and real property ownership including strata and community titles.
A person selling a property
To forgive an obligation, e.g. If a party is required to clean the pool prior to settlement and the buyer decides to proceed even though this is not done, the buyer is said to waive the benefit of this clause.

by Hugh Schofield BBC News, Paris
Hundreds of police monitored traffic in Paris on Monday after high pollution levels prompted the French government to impose major restrictions.
Only motorists with odd-numbered number plates were allowed to drive.
Those with those even-numbered plates will be allowed to travel on Tuesday 18th March 2014 after the success of Monday's initiative led to a fall in pollution.
Ministers acted after air pollution exceeded safe levels for five days running in Paris and surrounding areas.
But the environment ministry said lower traffic levels during throughout Monday and a change in weather conditions had significantly improved the smog which has descended on Paris over the past week.
The smoggy conditions have been caused by a combination of cold nights and warm days, which have prevented pollution from dispersing.
The measure has been tried once before, in 1997. Paris air quality monitoring body Airparif says it had a noticeable impact on improving air quality, although critics have disputed its findings.
Motorcycles were also covered by the ban, which ran from 05:30 (04:30 GMT) to midnight. There were exceptions for taxis, commercial electric and hybrid vehicles and for cars carrying three or more passengers.
Those flouting the restrictions faced a small fine. There was free parking for those with number-plates ending in an even number.
About 700 police ran nearly 180 control points around the Paris region, correspondents say, handing out tickets to offenders. Police were reported to have ticketed nearly 4,000 people by midday on Monday, and 27 drivers had their cars impounded for refusing to co-operate with officers.
Delivery companies are already complaining of lost income, BBC Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield says. Politically the stakes are high, with elections for Paris mayor due to start next week.
Drivers on Monday were confronted by signs warning them that those with even-numbered licence plates were not allowed on the roads
Opposition leader Jean-Francois Cope complained that the ban lacked "coherence, explanation and on the ground it's really panic".
On Friday, public transport was made free of charge for three days in an attempt to encourage people to leave their cars at home. This measure continued on Monday.
The capital's air quality has been one of the worst on record, French environmental agencies say, rivalling the Chinese capital, Beijing, one of the world's most polluted cities.
On Friday 14th March 2014, pollution levels hit 180 microgrammes of PM10 particulates per cubic metre, more than double the safe limit of 80.
PM10 particulates are emitted by vehicles, heating systems and heavy industry.
Officials say one heavy rainfall would have more effect than a one-day ban.
It is not hard to spot even-numbered registration plates on the streets of Paris. Plenty of people seem to have decided to chance it. Either they reckoned their journey was too important to cancel, or the risk of a 22-euro (£18) fine was not enough to concern them.
But overall it seems Parisians are playing the game. Most cars on the roads are indeed odd-plated, and traffic seems lighter than usual. Fewer vehicles means fewer particles, so presumably the measure is having an effect.
It is hard to criticise a measure whose aim is to protect people's health. But there are legitimate questions over the timing of the alternate driving scheme. Pollution levels peaked at the end of last week, and were already falling. So why now?
Could the Paris mayoral elections next weekend possibly have anything to do with it? Surely not.
