The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is completing tests that would pave the way for first responders to use multi-band radios to communicate on various frequencies, the agency has announced.
The latest version of the multi-band radio has undergone four pilot tests to ultimately transition emergency responders to its use, according to the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), a coalition of groups that manage research within DHS.
The multi-band radio enables police officers, firefighters, and other emergency response and management personnel to use a single mobile radio to communicate with multiple agencies and jurisdictions operating on different radio bands. The multi-band radio can replace as many as five different radios at a cost comparable to one of the existing high-end portable radios.
"The final pilot in Chicago provides the opportunity to integrate all we have learned in previous tests and provide the updated multi-band radio to Chicago's finest for testing," said Tom Chirhart, program manager for S&T's multi-band radio program. "Pilot programs allow DHS to work closely with local responders to ensure the technologies align with their unique needs."
Previous pilots were conducted in Phoenix, New Orleans and the Miami-Dade area. Feedback and suggestions from users in the emergency management, first responder and critical infrastructure communities have been incorporated into radio specifications.
The initiative has sparked industry development of multi-band radio technology, which is now commercially available and being developed and marketed by three manufacturers. Other OEMs have committed to building multi-band devices, according to DHS.
"DHS is working to ensure that the best radio equipment is available to emergency responders at all levels," said Chirhart. "Having multi-band radios with various options and capabilities available to agencies will not only improve selection, but will increase competition and drive prices down over time."
The tests were conducted in partnership with the Chicago Police Department, Illinois State Police, Cook County Sheriff, FEMA, MABAS (Illinois Fire Mutual Aid), and other agencies. The final pilot featured the Harris Corp.'s Unity XG-100P multi-band radio.

So this New Year I've decided that in addition to the standard resolution list of things I plan to (or dream of) doing, I am going to also make a list of things I plan to stop doing. I have so many self-defeating and just plain bad habits that I can learn to do without. So without further ado:
What I Am Giving Up in 2013:
1. My dislike for cooking. Or to be more exact, my disklike for cleaning the kitchen. Seriously, this is the root of many of my problems.
2. Any and all excuses for not:
A) writing
B) exercising
C) dating
3. My undeserved hatred for housework. Well maybe a little deserved, but I still need to let that bitterness go.
4. My mindless spending to cover for my loneliness and/or boredom.
5. My obsession with mindless facebook games. Maybe this should be first.
6. My unhappiness with my life. I have a pretty good life, and hopefully I will be able to be okay if it's not perfect.
7. My tendency to eat to make myself feel better when angry/annoyed/frustrated. Or any other negative emotion.
8. My complete and total ambivalence for anything finance related. Especially my expense reports. That's just sad.
9. My unhealthy relationships with some members of my family. I want this heat to be focused on clean starts and getting rid of old pain has to fit in there somewhere. I think Oprah or Iyanla Vanzant said that.
And lastly…
10. My total inability to take good/proper care of myself. Actually, if I can master this the rest can take care of itself. Who knew?
And for anyone still reading…
What I Resolve To Do In 2013:
1. Spend more time with friends and less on work.
2. Take a least 2 trips – ANYWHERE!
3. Pay off my credit cards
4. Rediscover my bliss
5. Try two recipes I've pinned on Pinterest.
It's a lot for one year, tobe sure. But a girl can dream, can't she?

A national survey presented last month at a Congressional briefing highlights administrators' concerns and districts' barriers to providing 21st century learning environment. A common thread documented in the study is the need to have an effective technology infrastructure. The 2009 Speak Up Survey was conducted by Project Tomorrow and sponsored by Schoolwires.
In the national survey of more than 368,000 K-12 students, parents, teachers and administrators, students shared their vision for 21st century learning that includes:
--Social-based learning - students want to leverage emerging communications and collaboration tools to create and personalize networks of experts to inform their education process.
--Un-tethered learning - students envision technology-enabled learning experiences that transcend the classroom walls and are not limited by resource constraints, traditional funding streams, geography, community assets or even teacher knowledge or skills.
--Digitally-rich learning - students see the use of relevancy-based digital tools, content and resources as a key to driving learning productivity, not just about engaging students in learning. Click here to read the full article.

On September 8th "IT" will become the record 62nd movie adaptation, with another 26 currently in development. There is no doubt Stephen King is as much an icon of cinema as he is in literature.
With a story every bit as interesting as one of his novels, King's father left to get cigarettes when he was a child one day and was never heard from again; he has battled alcoholism and was almost killed when struck by a van when out walking. The driver committed suicide aged just 43. King bought the van that hit him to "beat the $hit out of it with a sledgehammer" (these events actually played a big part in The Dark Tower novels).
So, now that we have the very barest of King's histories, let's go through the best and worst Stephen King movies.
5. Maximum Overdrive
The first and only film that King would direct himself. The set was plagued by accidents with the director of photography losing an eye and suing King due to unsafe working practices. The film is about a comet causing a radiation storm on Earth and machines start come to life and become homicidal. King himself would confess that "The problem with that film is that I was coked out of my mind all through its production, and I really didn't know what I was doing [as the director of the film]."
4. The Langoliers
The Langoliers has an interesting enough premise. A group of passengers awake on a plane to find that most of their fellow passengers are missing. The mystery is ruined when it turns out those responsible are terrible CGI meatballs with teeth. The cast acts like they are in an SNL parody of a horror film which would be funny if it was a 90min B movie. However, this nonsense is stretched out for 4 hours!!
3. Sleepwalkers
Incestuous, shape-shifting, energy vampires who feed off the life-force of virgin women. Oh, and they turn into werecats….yeah werecats is a thing now. Whatever King was on when he came up with this idea I want some. Featuring cameos from people who should know better like Mark Hamill and horror icons Tobe Hooper, Clive Barker, John Landis and Joe Dante. Director Mick Garris would go on to direct the god-awful mini-series of The Shining. Where King, who was unhappy with the Stanley Kubrick version wanted to right the wrongs of that film but instead made the equivalent of a letter from a bitter ex.
2. Dreamcatcher
I really want to see the pitch where someone sat down and said "ok so aliens come to earth infect humans and cause them to fart and belch uncontrollably before they get diarrhoea and you poop out $hit weasels. Oh and you all have psychic powers or something" Not only did that terrible premise get made, it managed to get Morgan Freeman, Thomas Jane and Damian Lewis to star in it and the guy who wrote The Empire Strikes Back to direct it. There is a scene where they use a gun as a telephone to have a psychic conversation. Lewis decides that he will use his English accent when he is evil because. Why not? nothing else in this film makes any god damn sense.
1. Secret Window
Dreamcatcher is awful but at least it can be watched in a "what in the name of God is going on?" fun way. Secret Window is as bland and boring a film you will ever have the displeasure to see. The whole film hinges on its twist ending. Even at one point, the film itself says the story doesn't matter "the only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story, the ending" which would be somewhat interesting if the twist isn't telegraphed 5 mins in.
In 2004 every thriller had to have the twist ending, unfortunately for Secret Window, 27 other films at the time had the "it's the same guy" ending. Unlike something like Fight Club which can be enjoyed knowing the twist, some would argue it even enhances the film. This adds nothing to the film even the delivery of the twist is handled with the grace of someone dancing to "Maniac 2000" in Coppers at 3 am. Depp has a stab at playing what he thinks is a regular person. In his head this means wearing different scarves indoors, having chats with himself and eating week old crisps. It's a coma inducing bore of a film. If you haven't seen it, DON'T!
5. Misery
Featuring an unforgettable performance from Kathy Bates who pulls novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) from a car wreck before slowly becoming more and more unhinged when she realises that he is killing off her favourite character from his novels. King has said that Bates represented his alcoholism that he was unable to escape from. Hopefully, Jack Daniels never tied King to a bed and shattered his ankles with a sledgehammer.
4. The Mist
Quite simply, one of the best horror movies of the last 20 years. Focusing on a group of people isolated in a supermarket when a strange mist covers the town. The paranoia and mistrust are cranked up to unbearable levels as the frightened group start to turn on each other unaware of what (in any) threat awaits them outside. The film features one of the all-time great gut punch endings that has to be seen to be believed.
3. The Green Mile
The second of three King movies on this list directed by Frank Darabont. Focusing on the touching relationship between prison guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) and gentle giant John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) The Green Mile brilliantly explores the line of the kindness and cruelty of human nature. Doug Hutchinson who played the evil prison guard Percy, is apparently just as creepy in real life. Marrying a 16 year beauty pageant contestant when he was 51 years old!!
2. The Shawshank Redemption
Criminally overlooked upon its release, it was beaten at the box office by Steven Seagal with "On Deadly Ground" and Van Damme in "Street-Fighter". The film found a second life on VHS and is now widely recognised as one of the greatest films of all time and sits at number one on IMDB. You have all seen it, you all love it so I will try and ruin it with my theory that Andy ends up back in jail.
Andy never gets pardoned and starts a new life with stolen government money. So as far as the public is concerned a convicted murderer has escaped from jail. Red then violates his parole to visit him. Crossing the border, where I assume he has to show ID. So when Red is reported for parole violation they will trace him to Mexico and Andy will be arrested again.
1. Stand By Me
They just don't films like this anymore. Shawshank may be the most revered movie on this list but from a personal standpoint Stand By Me is the best adaptation of Kings work. The kids actually act like real kids, they are not just mini adults who always do they right thing. The lie, they steal, they smoke, they drink, they are awesome. The main story focuses on the search the dead body of a missing child while running into everything from trains, testicule attacking dogs and "cheap dime store hoods" The film is funny, heart-breaking and inspiring in equal measure.
Everything about it is endlessly watchable, the soundtrack is wonderful and the performances are stunning which only adds to the tragedy that the main cast never hit the heights of their potential. The gloriously downbeat ending seems to knowingly foreshadow this with its downbeat epilogue and wonderful final line "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
I am sure there will be arguments for Shawshank to top the list or The Shinning and Carrie but it's my list and you don't like it you can ……… it's the biggest one in four counties.

The 'City Reach' apartment building was conceived as a striking new addition to the Barnsley sky line. The 14 storey glass-clad structure would provide a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments overlooking the town centre. The ground level would offer retail opportunities as well as a basement with parking spaces for 27 cars. Construction of the building was contracted to Northfield Construction. The stair core and lift shaft were constructed by UK Slipform to a height of 45m, with the reinforced concrete floors constructed behind it at a pace of 1 floor every 2 weeks. Work stopped in late 2009 when the recession kicked in and a lack of funding means it hasn't started again since. As I suggested earlier the Barnsley UE scene must be pretty slow as this place has stood like this for over 3 years, so I'm surprised it hasn't already had coverage on the forums.

More and more brazen are the one-sheets for A HAUNTED HOUSE, as probably the best horror flick of the year, SINISTER, is the subject of ridicule in the newest look below. Marlon Wayans in a badly Photoshopped blond wig though...who's the joke really on?
With Nick Swardson, David Koechner, Liana Mendoza, Essence Atkins, Jamie Noel, Robin Thede and Affion Crockett rounding out the comedic cast:
In an outrageous send up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other "found footage" movies, A HAUNTED HOUSE features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they're not alone. But it's not the house that's haunted, it's Malcolm's girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.
A HAUNTED HOUSE opens January 11th.

Along with this it keeps turning itself off, about every 15 minutes. I am not sure what went wrong, but all I did was went into the recovery mode and did the factory reset option. I am not sure what model type or anything like that but I am pretty sure it is the Superpad 2.1 because it has 2 sd card slots. I really want to fix this, so please any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is also recommended to massage the conditioner into the scalp and let the product soak in for some time and then rinse.

With WEN, such people do not have to worry anymore. While it might sound unreal, in actual sense, after applying the product, there is or no hair breakage and the scalp feels a little bit thick.
After the shower, it is recommended to blow out the hair to achieve better outcomes. WEN by Chaz Dean Hair care products leave the hair cleaner, shiny, and every customer ever tries the brands is always left happy.

New leaked documents reveal that billionaire George Soros bribed former Vice President Al Gore with millions of dollars in order to fabricate data and manipulate public opinion about global warming.
For those who don't remember, 10 years ago Al Gore was in the spotlight in the documentary "an inconvenient truth" (nicknamed by some today an inconvenient lie) for his role in propagating the threat of global warming.
MIT atmospheric physicist Richard S. Lindzen was very critical of the film, writing in a June 26, 2006 article in the Wall Street Journal that Gore used propaganda to exploit the fears of the public for his own political gain. Similarly, Phil Hall gave the film a negative review based on the fabricated data by exclaiming "An Inconvenient Truth is something you rarely see in movies today: a blatant intellectual fraud."
Now, we might finally understand the real motivation behind his lies. According to a document published by DC Leaks, Soros used his Open Society Institute to funnel Al Gore $10 million dollars per year provided Gore would exaggerate claims about man made climate change to the public.
According to the Washington Post;
His 2006 docudrama, "An Inconvenient Truth," warned of dire threats to civilization from human-caused global warming, pointing to Hurricane Katrina as an example of what happens when humans anger nature. Inconveniently, despite steadily rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, no major hurricane has made landfall in the United States for 130 months.
Mr. Gore warned that rising temperatures are melting glaciers and the collapse of a major ice sheet in Antarctica could raise ocean levels by 20 feet, inundating coastal cities and causing tens of millions of climate refugees. In the 10 years since he made those wild predictions, coast dwellers everywhere still have dry feet. Warming in Antarctica ended around 1998 and temperatures have been falling since.
Further, analysis of ice core samples reveal the global climate was warmer 115,000 years ago and sea levels were 20 to 30 feet higher then than now. Oil was just the gooey stuff that the cave man's missus told their children to wipe off their feet before tracking it into the grotto, and that was before their children's children figured out how to use it to drive their SUVs.
Consequently, fears over the effects of climate change that Mr. Gore's film heightened have since fallen, and fallen far. A recent YouGov poll found that only 9.2 percent of Americans considered global warming their greatest concern. In his pursuit of "political space for aggressive U.S. action," Mr. Soros' investment in Mr. Gore's activities has not persuaded most Americans.
So why is this a bad thing?
This is something that should be deeply concerning for us all, because billionaires like George Soros have an endless supply of money that corrupt politicians like Al Gore will gladly take in exchange for peddling whatever propaganda the elites want, and one thing we can rest assured of is that their propaganda will always result in more power for them at the expense of the people.
In this particular instance, a carbon tax is something that became a major topic of discussion after this film, which falls on the shoulders of the middle class in a society and not the big corporations which are actually the real culprits behind the destruction of the planet. In this way, the elites can find yet another clever way to extort billions and billions from the people. This system has to change!

Star-Studded Celebs Hit Cyprus for its 'Year-Round Sun'
I remember back in 1998 when I was living in Los Angeles and first told my boss that I would be vacationing in the country of Cyprus, he responded, "Where the heck is Cyprus?"
This was my first thought as well when my husband (then boyfriend) offered to whisk me away to this paradise. For this world traveler, Cyprus was a place I knew nothing about.
Now, years later I live here, and I've seen this tiny island nation – located in the Eastern Mediterranean, just east of Greece and south of Turkey —grow into a popular hotspot for big name Hollywood A-listers.
Silver screen stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are just some of the big names that have all vacationed here, along with crooners Elton John, Diana Ross and Rod Stewart. Actor John Malkovich was recently seen preparing for a performance of the play "The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer" on Sept. 17.
Cyprus Tourism spokeswoman Antigoni Louca says stars come for the "year-round sun, our hospitality and our history."
The island's capital- Nicosia – was originally surrounded by walls built by the Venetians some centuries ago and which are still preserved to this day, and the Old Town is a living museum.
You can still stroll through the meandering streets and visit houses built in the last century until you come to a barrier called the Green line that divides Greek Cypriots living in the south and Turkish Cypriots living in the north, the last divided capital in the world.
So where do the star studded celebs go when they are here?
A popular destination is the town of Paphos, an ancient kingdom and mythical birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.
Most stars stay at the Anassa Hotel, a five-star luxury hideaway. Designed by San Francisco-based architect Sandy Babcock, it's a haven of relaxation and privacy. The hotel itself can only be seen in its full glory from the sea and has the cleanest waters on the island due in part to its proximity to the Akamas peninsula, a national preserve that still remains largely untouched by modern development.
Sir Paul McCartney recently stayed at the hotel along with girlfriend Nancy Shevell and daughter Beatrice. Emma Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Simon LeBon and Prince Albert of Monaco are some of the other big names that have chosen to stay at this luxury resort. Rod Stewart was also seen celebrating the bi-centennial birthday of British billionaire Phillip Green.
Natasha Michaelides, spokeswoman for the Anassa, says celebrities like the property's privacy.
"The hotel is set in one of the most beautiful, if not secluded, parts of the island, it has its own private beach, and its very own signature restaurant with a gourmet menu that serves only 20 people"
One wonders if star chef Gordon Ramsey, who also stayed there, had anything to say about the menu.
As exclusive as it sounds, the hotel is open to everyone. But expect to pay more than average, prices start at about $680 for a room per night and can run up to $6,800 for the "Alexandros Residence" which is a stand alone villa, breakfast buffet included of course.
Another celebrity hotspot is the beachside town of Limassol, where stars such as Sex and the City's Kim Catrall and singer Mariah Carey flock to the Columbia Beach Resort, located just outside the city in secluded Pissouri Bay.
Britain's Prince Harry was also spotted in one of the resort's restaurants while on military dive training on the island. The prince, an expert diver, has spent some time enjoying the view of shipwrecks and ancient artifacts still embedded on the sea floor.
Prices start at about $260 and can go up to $2,000 for a suite (no standard rooms here)
The Londa Hotel, in the center of town, is another hotspot where celebrities and well- known politicians stay. This trendy boutique hotel has the best spa on the island and serves up the most delicious breakfast buffet you can imagine. The hotel is also a favorite among Greek celebrities.
Rooms are all suites and can range from a very affordable $150 to more than $80 per night.
Although Limassol is well-known for its luxurious beachfront hotels, international restaurants, such as the Caprice Restaurant at the Londa Hotel and the Mavromatis Greek Gourmet Restaurant at the Four Seasons, you will find a good number of tavernas that serve a wonderful array of Cypriot delicacies. Locals always suggest the "meze" which is a sampling of 20-30 dishes all in one sitting.
The town also lays claim to the largest marina in Cyprus where most yachts are berthed. Think Monaco on a much friendlier but smaller scale.
Home Away from Home
Some celebrities prefer a more private setting and choose to literally make Cyprus their home-away-from-home. George Michael and Shakira reportedly own their own villas on the Island close to the town of Paphos.
In the last several years there has been an increase in property developments throughout the Island and many people from abroad continue to purchase villas or holiday homes as an investment. But many of these people, Europeans mostly, have decided to call Cyprus home.
Beachside homes can go from anywhere between $200,000 for an apartment to as much as $6,000,000 for a villa overlooking the sea.
Not a Celebrity?
During the summer months, the island's beaches are full, but even in the later months of September and October, many of the locals usually head down to the beachside towns of Ayia Napa (once known as the capital of Europe's club scene) and Protaras.
Along with the influx of tourists, (Cyprus is visited by 2.5 million tourists each year, three-times the size of its population) these towns become the best places just to have fun, like Greece's Mykonos but on a smaller scale.
While Cyprus is best known for its sandy beaches, crystal clear Mediterranean waters and parties that can go on till the break of dawn, one of the best experiences I had was visiting the mountain villages where you can still see churches many centuries old in pristine condition.
Not only can you immerse yourself in the local culture but you can also meet many of the local residents who I have found to be quite charming and most welcoming. These villages hail from a bygone era, a living history that is no longer found in other parts of the world.
For this big city, L.A. girl, it was love at first sight. I knew I wanted to live here the minute I landed.

With that, she can't really view a video - let's say from Youtube. It just keeps hanging. She only has 256mg of RAM which can be boosted to 1G, and I was wondering if by doing so, it would have a significant impact on her Emac capacity to view such content. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, B.

No. 7 Syracuse shuts down Collins in 55-44 win over South Florida
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TAMPA, Fla. – Syracuse executed its game plan of slowing down South Florida point guard Anthony Collins and the No. 7 Orange won their second straight Big East game this season.
Collins took just two shots and had five points in the Bulls' 55-44 loss to Syracuse on Sunday.
"Really, the think we emphasized was to stay in front of Collins," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "He really hurt us last year, and he got into the lane. Our guards really did a good job. When he got in there, our big guys helped out. That was the story of the game."
Collins entered averaging 10.2 points.
"Where they did a fantastic job, they really bottled up and kept Anthony Collins out of the middle," South Florida coach Stan Heath said. "He got in there a lot last year. I could really tell they made an emphasis to make sure he didn't get in there."
South Florida (9-4, 0-1) trimmed what had been an 11-point deficit to 47-42 with six minutes remaining, however the Bulls were held to one basket the rest of the way.
"We had moments where we looked very effective, and we had times where we just kind of stood around and didn't attack very well against their zone," Heath said.
Brandon Triche had 20 points and James Southerland scored 12 of his 17 in the second half to help Syracuse overcome a slow start and win its Big East road opener.
C.J. Fair had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Orange (14-1, 2-0), who won for the fourth straight time following a four-point loss to Temple.
Southerland's long 3-pointer put Syracuse up 50-42 and Triche followed with a driving layup and a pair of free throws to push the lead back to double-digits.
Victor Rudd led USF with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Jawanza Poland finished with 12 points for the Bulls, who led by 10 before Syracuse asserted themselves defensively.
In their first game since Boeheim passed Bob Knight for second place on college basketball's career wins list, the Orange fell behind by 17-7 in the opening eight minutes before going on a 23-6 run to take a 30-23 halftime lead. Triche and Fair scored 10 of the last 12 points during the stretch and Syracuse limited USF's sputtering offense to just one field goal over the final 11 minutes of the surge.
South Florida, coming off a season in which the Bulls tied the school record with 22 wins and made the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years, cooled after getting three highlight reel dunks from Rudd and making a trio of 3-pointers to build its early lead. Rudd had 13 points at the break, but received little support from his teammates, including Collins, who did not take a shot in the opening half.
Balanced scoring was one of the key to a four-game winning streak USF put together following a 12-point road loss to Oklahoma State on Dec. 5.
"I think they're competitive in this league," Boeheim said. "They've got really good players."
But what the Bulls consistently do best is play stingy defense, which enables them to overcome poor shooting. Syracuse shot 36.5 percent from the field and was held to its lowest point total of the season.
Collins was one of the main reasons that USF was able to keep Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams in check.
Carter-Williams missed 12 of 13 shots while scoring four points — well below his season average of 12.2.
"That's a good team," Heath said of Syracuse. It's always going to be a game of runs. You're not going to hold that team to nothing. I wish we could have rode it out, but one thing they did was turn it up a notch."

There is nothing for free in this world. This saying is especially true for free online streaming apps such as Showbox. The free access you get from Showbox comes at a price and if you are not careful it can be a pretty hefty price. So, which price is this? Since Shwomax offers you copyrighted content without a license there is always the risk of a suit. And no one wants to be sued by some large corporation like ABC for copyright infringement. Fortunately, Virtual Private Networks or VPNs exist to shield you from costly suits. A VPN ensures anonymous free streaming online. Below are the top 5 VPNs you should consider getting if you use Showbox.
Nord VPN
There are very few VPN providers that can match the level of security and privacy Nord VPN offers. At the center of this VPN provider's enhanced security settings is the double encryption feature. The latter feature guarantees 100% anonymity. And that is not all the provider's server network is one to behold. Nord VPN supports different devices from computers to android phones. The only drawback of using this VPN is that the double encryption can interfere with the streaming speeds. Nevertheless, you can always opt for the regular VPN connection.
Pure VPN
Another awesome VPN that guarantees anonymous streaming of all your favorite movies, TV shows and documentaries on Showbox is Pure VPN. With over 750 servers in over 141 countries, this VPN provider's server network is robust and reliable. When it comes to the encryption, Pure VPN does not disappoint with its 256-bit military grade encryption. The only drawback to using this VPN is its paid trial version that lasts for three days. Apart from this, it is a fantastic VPN. It is one of the best VPNs to go for if you want to install Showbox for Windows 10 PC.
Express VPN
Express VPN has a lot to offer. For starters, it comes with multiple protocols including OpenVPN, SSTP, and PPTP. In addition, when you buy this VPN you get a 30-day money back guarantee. While their server network is not as impressive as that of Pure VPN, it is still something. The VPN is spread out in 94 countries, which is still quite impressive.
Ivacy VPN
One of the best things about the Ivacy VPN is its optimized P2P servers for anonymous file sharing. In addition to this, it comes with plenty of VPN protocols that include open VPN, SSPT, and L2TP/IPSec. It also works on multiple devices, making it an ideal option for Showbox users. There is also a 7-day money back guarantee.
As its name suggests the Cyber Ghost VPN transforms you into a cyber ghost for complete anonymity while streaming on Showbox. This VPN comes complete with DNS and IP protection as well as a strict no log policy. The icing on the cake is that you can connect up to five devices with this VPN and it gives you access to over 1000 servers worldwide. This VPN also has good customer support.

I dragged the family to one of the First Day Hikes at Pocahontas State Park. We did the Beaver Lake hike with a pretty good sized group of other First Day Hikers.
In all honesty, I would prefer to have done it with just the family, but the guide was great and it was cool to learn about Beaver habitat and behavior.
I'd definitely recommend a First Day Hike though, especially if you are new to the park or are interested in learning more about the park and its inhabitants.
Happy New Year! No go outside and play.

O Jerusalem
Empty TWITTER
Emptyopens Wednesday, Oct. 24
With Mideast tensions raging, it seems surprising that it has taken so many years for a film version of the best-selling novel "O Jerusalem," written by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, to appear.
Director Elie Chouraqui ("Harrison's Flowers") and co-writer Didier Lepecheur have compressed the sprawling novel about the founding of the state of Israel into a tight 100-minute movie that skims entertainingly along the surface without hitting many depths. The film is admirable in trying to be fair to the Israeli and Arab perspectives while lamenting the enmity that endures to this day.
To honor these dual perspectives, the film focuses on the relationship of a Jewish-American man and an Arab. Bobby Goldman (JJ Feild) is a soldier returning from combat duty in World War II who meets Said Chahine (Said Taghmaoui), an Arab student in New York. They strike up a fast friendship, which is tested when they travel to Palestine to join the battle for independence from England. They quickly find themselves on opposite sides of the growing conflict between Arabs and Jews over the country that both groups consider their homeland.
The film intercuts the personal stories of the men with momentous events on the world stage. Newsreel footage is used to mark the transitions, and such real historical figures as David Ben-Gurion (Ian Holm) and Golda Meir (Tovah Feldshuh, who already has played the part in her award-winning stage production, "Golda's Balcony") share the screen with the fictional Bobby and Said. Giovanni Fiore Coltellacci's widescreen cinematography thrusts us into the action with sweeping crowd scenes and a beautiful evocation of Jerusalem in a time of transition. (Much of the film actually was shot on the island of Rhodes.) The director brings immediacy to the battle scenes, including the infamous massacre at the Arab village of Deir Yassin. To its credit, the film recognizes atrocities committed on both sides.
Where the film falters is in trying to do justice to the personal stories. Taghmaoui gives an eloquent, deeply felt performance, and Feild also is appealing, though his British accent sometimes slips through. But the characterizations are stock, and the supporting characters -- including Said's more fanatical brother and Bobby's love interest, a concentration-camp survivor -- are barely sketched at all. While many prestige pictures this fall seem bloated and overlong, this is the rare film that seems too short.
As it rushes from cataclysm to catastrophe while skimming over the personal dramas, "O Jerusalem" often gives the impression that crucial scenes have been left on the cutting room floor. The film covers some of the same ground as Otto Preminger's 1960 epic "Exodus," but Preminger had 213 minutes to interweave large-scale historical set pieces and intimate romantic moments.
"O Jerusalem" has the virtue of energy, but it suffers from superficiality, particularly with regard to the characterizations. This weakness carries over to the portrayal of the real-life figures. Holm and Feldshuh have too little screen time to make their historical icons into anything more than cardboard figures. Even with its flaws, the film finds many moving moments as it surveys the ravages of a perpetually divided country.

Definitions for oneiric
- of or relating to dreams.

Citations for oneiric
To be sure, it is easy to assume that in the domain of the illogical, the fantastic, the subconscious and oneiric, variety is inexhaustible, and that every new and slightly different juxtaposition of unrelated elements constitutes a new departure.
At night they watched the fireworks--fountains, spark-foaming rockets, yellow starbursts high over Poland. That oneiric season.
Origin of oneiric
Oneiric comes from the Greek word óneiros meaning "dream" and the suffix -ic, which forms adjectives from loanwords from Greek and Latin, as in metallic and poetic. It entered English in the 1850s.

That time again?! Yup. Sometimes I feel like all I do is talk about food, but I really like food so it makes sense that it features a lot. After the shambles that was the Cohorted Beauty Box I was pretty damn excited for the arrival of my Degustabox* as it is yet to let me down. My mum had said to me that this box was her favourite yet (although I think she says that most months) so I was starting out with some high expectations yet again.
Starting out on a high note, these Schwartz flavour shots have very quickly become a bit of an essential in my cupboard. These are essentially small tubs of flavoured oils and spices that can be used to make a variety of meals such as sweet and sour chicken, fajitas and curry. I received a mild Masala pot and one for paella but I'm keeping an eye out for the creamy herb tagliatelle too! At the beginning of the week I made a paella using the flavour shot and it was so delicious. I love cooking but as I don't have a lot of the spices and things required in my flat these are a great way for me to save money without going for a ready meal.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who doesn't really like peanuts all that much… they're just not for me. I'd seen the Peanut Hottie drink before so knew from the off that I wouldn't like it but as my mum loves peanuts it's going to be heading to a good home. The three nut butter from Whole Earth was a little bit more up my street as it'll make a great addition to my smoothies in the future.
When I first read the flavour of this Laimon Fresh drink I was so sure it wouldn't be for me, but since trying it I've been drinking litres of the stuff. Lemon, lime & mint may seem like an odd combination to some but there's something about it that I find incredibly refreshing without tasting like drinking a bottle of Sprite after brushing my teeth. I'm someone who rarely drinks fizzy drinks but this stuff is so good!
For some strange reason I ate the Jack Link's Beef Snack as soon as I opened the box and I soon regretted it. I'd never had anything beef jerky like before so didn't know what to expect, but I know it's one I'll be avoiding in the future! I can't really explain what it is I didn't like, possibly the super synthetic meat flavour or the odd texture, but it's not my cup of tea. On the other hand, the Beet It snack bars were also a weird combination that worked. I hate beetroot – whilst the rest of my family loves it – however I really enjoyed this bar as it was a lot sweeter and less earthy than I had originally expected.
How cute is that little food owl?! Aaah. It's been a while since I've had any Melba toast but I really enjoy snacking on it (especially with some cheese) so this massive box was a very welcome addition to my cupboard.
When having a nosey around other people's boxes before mine arrived I had spied a few that had a tub of chocolate brownies, so I was a little bit sad that I got Lemon Cake Bites from the American Muffin Company instead. However all was not lost as I didn't get muffins, which was a win in my eyes! These little individually wrapped cakes are both gluten and wheat free without being that dry, stodgy way that gluten free cakes often are. I do enjoy lemon cake so I did enjoy these – I'm just a chocoholic to the core! That brings me on quite neatly to the final product from this month's box…
Okay so I definitely saved the best for last! Lily O'Brien's is one of my favourite chocolate brands – aside from good ol' Cadbury's – so I was delighted to find a pouch of Cocoa Cookie Crunch in this month's box! It's very safe to say that they didn't last long and have been entirely devoured. The second these hit the shelves in my local supermarket I will be snatching up a few more packets. So good.
If you're fed up of disappointing beauty boxes then why not sign up for Degustabox? Having a box full of food delivered to your door each month never stops being a delight. If you fancy giving it a go then you can use the code B6HF1 for £3 off your first box – you won't regret it.
What do you think of this month's box?

Yes, we all love an excuse to buy bags of miniature candy. But this year, why not put your kitchen skills to the test and remake some old favorites? From Crunch bars to Twix, we'll show you how to take your candy-making to Willy Wonka-esque heights.
1. Chocolate-Dipped Salted Caramels
Can't decide between caramel and chocolate? Well you don't have to. This homemade candy recipe features squares of creamy, salty caramel dipped in a rich chocolate coating. It's a little labor intensive and you'll need a candy thermometer but you promise you it's worth it. Get our Chocolate-Dipped Salted Caramels recipe.
2. Peanut Butta Cups
Recreate everyone's favorite candy with this recipe. A sweet and creamy peanut butter filling is covered in milk chocolate. The neatest trick to the recipe is adding crushed graham crackers into the filling for that extra crunch. Get our Peanut Butta Cups.
3. Honey-Butterscotch Candy
If you're nervous about trying your hand at candy-making, this is a perfect place to start. Butterscotch is simple to make, but tastes complicated. Simply heat your ingredients to the proper temperature, pour it into a pan, and let it cool. Get our Honey-Butterscotch Candy recipe.
4. Peanut Butter Fudge
Fudge is a classic candy for good reason: It's easy to make and a serious crowd-pleaser. This version relies on peanut butter for rich, nutty flavor. You don't need any special equipment or technique, just cook, stir, and wait! Get our Peanut Butter Fudge recipe.
5. Honey Nougat
Delicate and ethereally sweet, this nougat recipe gets its unusual flavor from orange flower water. Pistachios and almonds add texture and a more robust taste, and honey and candied citrus peel add sweetness. This is the perfect candy to make and gift for holidays or special occasions: It takes effort to make but pays off in good looks and fantastic flavor. Get our Honey Nougat recipe.
6. Cake Pops
Okay, cake pops aren't really candy, strictly speaking, but we challenge you to find a trick-or-treater who wouldn't be thrilled to receive one. These pretty little desserts are easy to dress up any way you like. We envision some pumpkin-themed decorations in time for the holiday. Get our Cake Pops recipe.
7. Chile-Tamarind Trixy Stix
Pixy Stix are really the crème de la crème of candy; it's virtually impossible to get a bigger hit of sweetness that with a paper stick filled with pure sugar. If you're a fan, try your hand at making them at home. Our version gets a little fancy with some heat from cayenne pepper and a sour-sweet tang from tamarind paste. Try them for your next party, since most of the adults we know will flip at the chance to eat such a grownup version of a childhood sweet. Get our Trixy Stix recipe.
8. Easy Homemade Toffee
Crunchy, caramelized, and super sweet, homemade toffee is good enough to be habit-forming. The crisp caramel base is topped with chocolate and a sprinkling of toasted nuts. We love eating the buttery candy as a snack, but it's also excellent crushed up and added to cookie dough or as a topping for ice cream.. Get the recipe here.
9. Homemade Mallo Cups
Creamy marshmallow and coconut filling coated in chocolate: Are you in? With this recipe, you'll learn to make a homemade marshmallow fluff, which will get topped with coconut and covered in chocolate. This creative recipe is like a marshmallow version of a peanut butter cup, and we love the idea. We're already thinking about all the other possibilities with this candy template. Get the recipe here.
10. Homemade Cow Tales
Making your own Cow Tales feels like the ultimate expression of a childhood dream. You don't even need to go to the store! You can make it and eat it all! And the thrill won't wear off, because this recipe showcases the magic of candy making. You can turn a few simple ingredients into a sweet caramel exterior and cream filling. You'll need a few special tools, like a candy thermometer, but the recipe is easy to follow for a cook of any level. Get the recipe here.
11. Homemade Peppermint Patties
Once you master this recipe, you'll have trouble going back to the real store-bought deal. To make your own Peppermint Patties, you'll mix up a creamy mint filling which you shape into a log, slice, and dip into chocolate. We like to make them for dinner parties and potlucks: No one else ever brings homemade candy! Get the recipe here.
