Northwest Trek makes a great day trip from Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). Located near Eatonville, the park is nestled in a natural setting with a tree-lined drive that makes you feel like you are out in the woods exploring.
The park is easy to navigate, and the large paved trails wind and twist, allowing you to feel as if you are alone. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the park opens (30 minutes if on a weekend). Opt to tour the park first, as most visitors will choose to take the first tram.
At this time of year, there are not as many visitors, so you will have more opportunities to see the animals. Quiet is the key. The animals are in a natural setting and blend into the foliage easily, making them difficult to see, and they can be skittish. On my visit, I actually saw the red fox for a brief moment. As I lifted my camera to take a photo, he was gone. Other animals include Canada lynx, bobcats, wolves, a cougar and other animals. There is also a wetlands section with upper viewing areas, where you look down on the animals. The lower viewing areas are at eye level or looking into a den.
The tram ride is a narrated tour that rolls through wooded areas and meadows. The animals are free-roaming, so the tour is different every time you go. With 435 acres of free-roaming area, there is a lot to see. Look for American bison, Roosevelt elk, moose, bighorn sheep, deer and more. The trip takes about 50 minutes and the driver stops, so you can get plenty of photos. Northwest Trek also offers some premium experiences including Photo Tours and Keeper Tours. In the fall, usually in September, there are Elk Bugling Tours, which are very popular.
If you have children, plan to stay awhile at Kids' Trek. This unique playground is for toddlers through tweens and is included in the admission price. Sure to be a hit is the construction zone, which allows older children to build forts and other structures. There is a toddler zone with a sand play area. The half-acre playground includes an old-growth tree replica with nets for climbing, three slides, and a meandering stream.
Conveniently located right next to the playground is the Forest Café. Enjoy burgers, sandwiches, salads and kid's meals. Portions are huge. There is also a nice gas fireplace, which gives it a cozy atmosphere. There are tables right outside that overlook the playground, making it is a pleasant spot to sit when the kids are playing. Northwest Trek also has a sheltered picnic pavilion for groups as well as other picnic tables in the meadow for when the weather is nice.
Insider Tip: If you are visiting the park from JBLM, utilize the East Gate on JBLM and head toward Roy to cut some time off your trip.
Northwest Trek, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Friday-Sunday, 11610 Trek Drive E., Eatonville, 360.832.6117, nwtrek.org

Surf-themed boutique hotel, affordable and only a 5-minute walk from Waikiki Beach – Adjacent to the shops of the International Marketplace and just 2 blocks from Waikiki Beach, this 15-story boutique hotel is perfect if you're traveling on a budget, but still looking for a hotel with ambience. The surf theme is kept at just the right level of understatement, but be sure to check out the Charles W. Bartlett paintings of Duke Kahanamoku, surfing's founding father, on display in the lobby.
Accommodations: Rooms have a chic, urban ambience: Walls and ceilings with light tones, balanced against bright fabrics and retro-Hawaiian artwork. All have private lanais, the majority with views of the city, but some with partial views of the Pacific. Configurations vary between multiple queen beds, single king beds, and king beds with sofa sleepers in some suites. Standard in all are air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, phones, complimentary high-speed internet, in-room safes, mini-fridges, microwaves, coffee makers, and irons/ironing boards. Baths have combination showers/tubs, hairdryers, and Aqua's signature brand of bath products. Kids under 17 years of age stay for free when lodging with their parents or guardians.
Dining & Entertainment: There are 2 restaurants on-site. The Big Kahuna serves burgers, pizza, salads, appetizers, and other classic American fare, while China Garden Restaurant serves Cantonese cuisine. Many more dining options are nearby. A visit to Duke's Restaurant & Barefoot Bar is a must; it's less than a 5-minute walk away and serves excellent authentic Hawaiian cuisine and tropical drinks (try the Hula Pie for dessert) in an appropriately laid-back beachside setting. You can also try the Japanese menu at Kacho, Italian at Matteo's and Ciao, and the food court at the International Marketplace.
Recreation: There's a pool and a fitnesscenter, but the bigger draw is the location, which puts you within a few minutes walk of Waikiki Beach, one of the world's most famous beaches. Spending a day or an afternoon there is a must for any visit here. You're also near the Waikiki Beach Walk, an outdoor promenade of shops, restaurants, and nightspots that's one of the city's biggest draws for travelers. Honolulu also has great hiking opportunities like the Diamond Head crater, luaus and feasts celebrating Polynesian culture, horseback and ATV rides, day cruises, tours of filming locations, and historic attractions like Pearl Harbor.

Litro Gas, the largest importer and supplier of LP Gas in Sri Lanka donated an extensive stock of new diving equipment along with a state-of-the-art 'Surface-Supplied System' worth over Rs. 20 million to Sri Lanka Navy at an official handing over ceremony held at Light House Galley Colombo recently.
The system will enable divers to be monitored from the surface or a team positioned in land. The constant and clear communication model will ensure increased safety for divers.
"Our foremost inclination was to donate these equipment to Sri Lanka Navy. We know that they will be able to put the Surface-Supplied System to optimal use and we viewed this as our chance to contribute to nation building efforts. We are pleased to be able to be of some assistance in enhancing critical capabilities of Sri Lanka Navy," said Shalila Munasinghe, Chairman, Litro Gas.
Surface-Supplied System puts divers in an advantageous position to undertake more effective diving assignment as they have more freedom in terms of movement, control, vision and communication. The monitoring team will be able to successfully guide the divers from dry land or above the water level. The system is more advantageous during period when water turns murky and unclear. The advanced technological edge in using the system will set to improve the resources enhance the capacity of the country's naval force. Sri Lanka Navy will be using the system during their regular operations in terms of development and building, other diving and salvage exercises as well as nation-building endeavours.
Thanking Litro Gas for the contribution, the Commander of the Navy - Vice Admiral Sri Lanka Navy, Ravi Wijegunaratne said, "We welcome this commendable gesture from a corporate entity. The Surface-Supplied System will enhance our capacity in terms of naval operations and enable us to serve the country in a number of ways. It would be our pleasure to continue our interactions with Litro Gas in future as well."
This particular donation is timely in nature as the Sri Lanka Navy diving and salvage unit is continuously engages in a number of critical diving assignments. Sri Lanka Navy's diving and salvage unit is involved in numerous development activities taking place in the North of Sri Lanka as well as Trincomalee area which includes construction and development work in piers and jetties as well as various salvage and building requirements in other parts of the island or whenever the country calls for their expert intervention such as the one which occurred in late March 2017, where the unit successfully completed the cleaning of sleeves of the Ambatale Water plant.
"The Surface-Supplied System gives Sri Lanka a definite advantage in terms of diving and salvage operations as it allows Sri Lanka Navy divers to be benefit from direct communication and monitoring d by the 'surface' or a team positioned in land. This will invariably result in increasing their safety at all times as they are effectively led and guided by an equally competent team from the surface," added, Director, General operations,Rear Admiral Piyal De Silva.

Critics more often pan him than praise him. He's often chided for doing silly movies which don't do justice to his immense talent. And yet when Akshay Kumar does a sensible film, he shuts up his naysayers. He has the knack of separating the wheat from the chafe. His arc can go from the ridiculous to the sublime, just as easily.
Here's a look at the top five movies of the actor where he excelled himself.
Special 26 (2013)
A team of faux CBI officials conduct raids on businessmen and politicians. Soon, the real CBI is on their trail. And the conmen plan their final heist. The film has you at edge of your seat and you find yourself rooting for the criminals. As the conman, Akshay Kumar endears. When the sympathies lie with the antagonist, you know he has a winner on his hands. Akshay's acting capers are in fine fettle here.
Hera Pheri (2000)
This is the perfect antidote to depression. A thousand bucks to anyone who can watch this film with a straight face. Two tenants and a landlord chance upon a ransom plan. Desperate for money, they plan a ransom act of their own. Yes, Paresh Rawal steals the show but Akshay Kumar shines through and through with his one-liners. He may have started out as an action hero but his comic timing is second to none.
Airlift (2016)
It was the largest evacuation exercise carried out in the history of mankind. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 and 1,70,000 Indians found themselves stranded in the country. After cutting through red tapism, the Indian Government finally rescued them. Raja Krishna Menon took that plot and converted it into a movie with fictional characters, of course. And the result was every bit as dramatic as the real life incident. Mind you, the movie wouldn't have touched our hearts if Akshay Kumar as the Indian businessman Ranjit Katyal hadn't been convincing. You believe he'll take care of everything. And therein lies the movie's success.
Baby (2015)
A specially trained intelligence unit called Baby uncovers a terrorist plan to strike at the heart of India. It's upto them now to track down the terrorists and stop the attack, even if it means crossing the borders. A spy thriller, directed by Neeraj Pandey stars Akshay Kumar in the lead, along with Anupam Kher, Danny Denzongpa, Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu. Akshay's intensity as an intelligence officer comes through. And you forgive him for all the silly movies he has done. He leads from the front here. And the result is fantastic.
Yeh Dillagi (1994)
This 1994 romantic movie produced by Yash Chopra and directed by Naresh Malhotra remains an ever favourite Akshay Kumar movie. A remake of the Hollywood rom-com Sabrina, Yeh Dillagi is as loveable as the original. So when younger brother, played by Saif Ali Khan, falls in love with a driver's daughter, played by Kajol. It falls on elder brother Akshay to dissuade the younger one and save the khaandaan ki izzat. Matters become worse when the elder brother falls in love with the same girl. Tch, tch. The movie has sizzling chemistry between Kajol and Akshay. As the tall, handsome and silent type, he makes you skip a beat and how! We sure want to see him do more such movies. What say?

Come On Now, Let's Get Real
Are they serious about this Gwen Ifill thing? So the sister wrote a book about the state of black politics that has Obama's name in the title. And now that means she's unqualified to moderate a debate? Really?
And are McCain's people really pretending they had no idea about this book before they agreed to allow Ifill to be the moderator? So it's same to assume that the debate moderators got the same vetting as Sarah Palin?
Wait, if Ifill is biased, how was Sean Hannity qualified to interview Sarah Palin? I mean how could he be trusted to conduct an unbiased informative interview when Hannity has the GOP's dicks so far down his throat he probably shits peanuts.
Seriously, this is some utter foolishness.
I can't believe how willingly the media has cannibalized one of its own. The amount of coverage devoted to this issue has far exceeded the amount of coverage dedicated to the fact that Sarah Palin's husband was a member of a political party that advocated for Alaska's secession from the United States.
You know what? I lied. I'm not surprised at all how much coverage this issue has generated. See, if somebody like Tim Russert had this sort of conflict, it would have been dealt with in one day as every announcer expressed their supreme confidence in Russert and refused to discuss the issue again. Russert would have been given the benefit of the doubt based on his long record.
But, Gwen is black and Obama is black.
Like many things in life, this is a race thing. Not because every media person is racist, but because many of them still have doubts about whether black journalists can cover a black presidential candidate. The National Association of Black Journalists actually had to issue a press release a while back telling the mainstream media that they would be objective in their coverage. Strangely, all the white journalists who have covered white candidates in a country that's shown a predilection towards favoring white people have never had to issue similar press releases.
Funny how that works.
Anyway, Gwen is too classy to ever talk about the real reason why this issue has such legs. She would probably just say it's the typical political posturing that comes with any campaign. But, I wonder if deep inside she resents this affront to her professionalism. I wonder if she resents having to prove herself once again after all these years. Having to prove she can "fit in."
I know I would.
6 comments:
I love Ifill, and the entire Newshour staff, it's the only news I watch... however, this is some ridiculously juicy ammunition for the right to use as cover for any gaffes Palin makes. She should have recused herself, even if the book is non-partisan. I don't want the right having any talking points like this!!

First, I REALLY don't think this was a race issue.
This is nothing more than Republican strategy to make it softer for Palin. If they could crucify Ifill, then if Palin just COMPLETELY tanks, they can always use Ifill as a scapegoat. The fact that ideologies and philosophies are made down race lines is the only influence of race in here.
My argument in favor of Ifill going forward tonight is that had she written a book about women in politics would we have heard the same outcry? Moreover, I would have bought this argument if they brought it up once the debate schedule was released, but to make an issue out of it two days before the debate is just plain ol' tacky!
I categorically don't buy the argument that THIS instance is an exhibit of this countries race problem. Now, I'm with you on NABJ having to do a press release and no one else--but by the same token, there is no National Association of White Journalists. But I understand, these black-only organisations were created out of crisis moments in our country, and we still have to fuckin (oh yeah, I can cuss on this one) be apologists for our own ideologies.
Where I'm coming from, just do like Tim Russert--state where we stand and keep on moving. So far, I think Ifill is handling this quite well.

- Rob said...
Yes, she is, and the sista has certainly earned her right to be in her position tonight. However, I know Obama doesn't like to work this way, but he had a chance here to really screw McPalin over. He could have come out late yesterday and said "You know what, I can see your concerns with Ifill, so I've asked her to recuse herself. Instead, (some respected journalist who would potentially crucify Palin on her non-answers) is our choice as moderator." McCain would either have to accept that possible/probable train wreck, or back down, effectively eliminating any avenue to attack Ifill's neutrality, no matter what happens. If he tried to complain about the new choice of moderator, their fear would be unmasked for all America to see.

- Big Man said...
The race issues isn't with Republicans. Although they are playing on latent racism, they might make the same complaints if Ifill was a white man or woman. The race issue comes into play with how the issue is reported and handled by the media. If this Tim Russert the issue would have have been laughed off instead of discussed for serveral days. That's the difference. And I think that difference is due to race.
- October 2, 2008 at 2:01 PM
Ifil must have refused to give them the questions before hand!!!!!!
I agree, Big Man. I'm sure you know that Tom Brokaw, who has described himself as a liason b/t NBC and McCain, will be hosting an upcoming debate. Who will protest this? Brokaw made himself look like an incredulous asshole on MTP last weekend by citing a ONE MONTH old poll-that showed McCain leading Obama by some 8 points or whatever-at the end of the show leaving no time for rebuttal. These flipping polls are run everyday. His stunt was deceitful and showed a total lack of journalistic integrity. McCain has consistantly been waaay behind ever since this Wall Street debacle and he knows it. Thus, I can't believe McCain would have the audacity to invoke Ifil's name while having this whopping skeleton in his closet!!!!!!!!!
GOP, the hypocrisy knows no bounds.

The Sex and the City author's first YA book chronicling Carrie Bradshaw's high school years is unsurprising but not disappointing. The protagonist is sassy, smart, fashionable, and distinctly "Carrie" in her teenage aspirations, relationships, and experiences. The volume is pitched for older teens who crave the edgy glamour that made Bushnell famous. Copyright 2010 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
Reviewed by Publishers Weekly Reviews (PW Reviews 2010 April #2)
This polished prequel to Sex and the City reveals the ample drama that filled Carrie Bradshaw's life before her move to Manhattan. With wit and insight, Carrie chronicles her emotionally charged senior year at a small Connecticut high school. While her friends' lives seem to be falling into placeâespecially on the dating and sex frontsâCarrie has just been rejected by a summer writing seminar in New York City, and laments, "I have nothing figured out at all." She falls hard for a slick underachiever who eventually leaves her for one of her best friends, while her widower father grapples with single parenthood, made tougher by Carrie's rebellious youngest sister's antics. Readers should be amused by some of the period details (Carrie's 18-year-old friends can drink legally), though they don't weigh heavily on the story, making the early 1980s setting feel almost incidental. Similarly, there's little that shouts, "This is the Carrie Bradshaw you know and love," as opposed to any other thoughtful teenager slowly coming into her own. But readers should enjoy witnessing Carrie's burgeoning independence and confidence as a writer. Ages 14âup. (Apr.)[Page 53]. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
Reviewed by School Library Journal Reviews (SLJ Reviews 2010 June)
Gr 9 UpâIn the 1980s, Carrie Bradshaw is the oldest of three girls who live with their widowed father. She is on the swim team, wants to attend a summer writing program in New York, has applied to Brown, and is the last of her girlfriends to still have her virginity. When the rakish Sebastian Kydd returns to town, all the girls in the school become distracted, but he seems to have his eye on Carrie, at least until her best friend begins to take notice of him. The action is lightweight: senior pranks are played, dates are prevalent, friendships are tested, and Carrie keeps letting boys run rampant over her. It takes most of the book for her to stand up for herself. This protagonist is clearly written to resemble her older self as portrayed in the TV series Sex and the City. She spends the novel questioning relationships; worrying about friendships; developing a funky, independent sense of fashion; flirting with boys while dating two at once; and having a gay male friend. The author is known for writing frivolous, adult chick-lit books and she does not stray from that style here. While toning down the antics that take place in her adult books, she still writes about partying, drinking, smoking (cigarettes and dope), sex, and shoplifting, making this book best suited to older teens looking for a diversion.âGeri Diorio, The Ridgefield Library, CT[Page 96].

- As promised, here's the full version of the short news item CNN carried on the Quest Means Business Christmas show earlier this week. We've had a great time with a couple of crews from CNN this year. We met Adam shortly after launch, and knew he had a Pi on order. He's the guy who … Continue reading →
- Last year, we auctioned the very first Raspberry Pi Model Bs to come off the line to raise money for the Raspberry Pi Foundation. We're doing the same this year, but instead of raising money for Raspberry Pi, we have selected (and asked some of our closest partner organisations to select) twelve other charities to … Continue reading →
- I'd thought you might have had enough of details about the factory process that builds your Pi by now, but it seems I'm wrong: we've had lots of requests for video of how certain parts of the assembly work since Pete's post describing how the Pi is made went live at the end of last … Continue reading →
- We were at the Sony factory in Wales again last week, where Raspberry Pi contract manufacture takes place. We spent some time on the factory floor with Nick Heath from TechRepublic.

Scottish lawmakers want a price of at least 50 pence per 10 millilitres of pure alcohol in a beverage, to stop people "drinking themselves to death" in a country with rising fatalities from alcohol abuse.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) backed by spiritsEUROPE and wine industry representatives Comité Européen des Entreprises Vins (CEEV) asked the Supreme Court in London to strike down the policy after the European Court of Justice (ECJ) said it would breach EU trading rules if alternative tax measures could be introduced.
But seven Supreme Court justices in London dismissed the SWA's contention, ruling unanimously that such pricing is "a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim" and does not breach EU law.
Scotland's semi-autonomous government cannot vary tax on alcohol, as this power is held by the British government in London, but it can regulate the retail sector north of the border.

There is a vulnerability called Ghostscript that is affecting various vendors and an attacker could exploit it to take control of an affected system, according to a report from NCCIC.
As a result, NCCIC released a warning to encourage users and administrators to apply necessary workarounds, and refer to vendors for appropriate patches, when available.
Lessons Learned One Year After Triton
Black Hat: Breaking Down Safety System Attack

Forget Hyperbole: Stay True to Security Message
The Ghostscript malware contains multiple -dSAFER sandbox bypass vulnerabilities, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system.
Ghostscript contains an optional –dSAFER option, which should prevent unsafe PostScript operations. Multiple PostScript operations bypass the protections provided by -dSAFER, which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with arbitrary arguments. This vulnerability can also be exploited in applications that leverage Ghostscript, such as ImageMagick.
By causing Ghostscript or a program that leverages Ghostscript to parse a specially-crafted file, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Ghostscript code.
CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) is unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Along those lines, users should consider the following workarounds: Disable PS, EPS, PDF, and XPS coders in ImageMagick policy.xml.

Special Idaho court helps military veterans overcome addiction, rebuild their lives
Nov 05, 2015, 01:20 ET
LEWISTON, Idaho, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- When Sgt. David Taptto entered Idaho's Second Judicial District Veterans Treatment Court, he joined the growing ranks of U.S. Military Veterans who have returned from service with substance abuse or mental health issues, and subsequently found themselves embroiled in the criminal justice system for the first time in their lives.
The Second Judicial District is replicating a model that has shown tremendous success around the country to help combat Veterans in the criminal justice system. The district's specialized court was created in 2013 to address the unique needs of area Veterans. Participants come to the court for offenses like drunk driving, assault and possession of a controlled substance. Many suffer from PTSD, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or mental health issues related to their service, with corresponding alcohol or substance abuse problems. The court is currently led by the Honorable Judge Kerrick.
"The Second District is one of the most rural areas in Idaho, spanning 13,900 square miles," says problem solving court manager Lisa Martin, who notes that more than 2,500 Veterans live in the jurisdiction. Because of the district's large geography, some participants have to travel as much as two hours to attend the program. But participants and court personnel alike see the value.
"This program showed up just when I needed it," Sgt. Taptto says. He was suffering from combat-related PTSD and came into the court because of a felony DUI. "Vet Court was a tough adjustment in the beginning, but it helped me to make sense of all the chaos in my life and provided me with tools to negotiate life without alcohol. Without this program I'd be in jail or worse," he says.
In September, Taptto became the first graduate of the 18-month program. He is now a full-time student pursuing a degree in social work. Taptto has also returned to Vet Court—this time to mentor others in the program.
"Veterans have unique experiences that bring them into the justice system, and they benefit from being surrounded by other Veterans who understand where they are coming from," Martin says. The program requires participants to remain substance-free, attend treatment or counseling, report regularly to court, be accountable and complete activities like education, work or volunteering. Drug testing and alcohol monitoring are also key requirements of the program.
In addition, the court connects participants to other services as needed, such as the VA's Community-Based Outpatient Client, mental health resources, counseling and safe and sober housing options. Veterans who successfully complete the program have the opportunity to have their offense charge dismissed or reduced, opening new doors and giving them a chance to restart their lives.
Alcohol Monitoring Supports Court's Mission
According to Justice for Vets, nearly 30 percent of military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan met the criteria for alcohol abuse. And between 60 and 80 percent of Vietnam Veterans seeking PTSD treatment have alcohol use problems. Those statistics underscore why all Veterans in the program are required to stay drug- and alcohol-free.
Recently the court started using SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring® (CAM) technology to help alcohol-dependent participants get and stay sober. The technology includes an anklet that automatically tests a subject's perspiration every 30 minutes, 24/7, in order to measure for alcohol consumption. The court purchased the alcohol monitoring bracelets with a block grant from the City of Lewiston.
Taptto underwent SCRAM CAM monitoring for six months. "It was a big blessing," he says. "I knew I would be held accountable if I drank, that the court would find out. The bracelet put me in a good place and helped with my recovery. Without it I might still be in the program."
About Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. (AMS)
Established in 1997, Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. (AMS) is the world's leading provider of alcohol testing technologies for the criminal justice industry. The company's flagship Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM) technology, launched in 2003, revolutionized the way courts, agencies and treatment providers monitor and manage alcohol-involved offenders.

Once you've decided to take the leap of faith on online matrimonial websites and wrapped your head around the concept of matrimony, it up to you to wade through the murky waters of searching and communication and ultimately finding the Right One. The process can be fairly quick some and nail-bitingly long for many. One of the first things you potential significant others would come across in your profile that you've submitted to the site. In other words, this is very well the internet's version of a meet-cute. Here are a few ways in which you can make your profile an attractive one:
A perfect Personal Description:
The first thing that you have to update upon registering with a matrimonial website is your personal description. It means you have written about what you think of well, you. So kindly avoid using sentences that begin with 'my friend's say' or 'my mother always said'- all of these can say once you start communicating personally with each other. For now, focus on being concise, to the point and coherent. Flaunting is completely unnecessary and do watch the tone that you carry, make sure it does not veer off into over-confidence. Be humble, be honest and be you.
Avoid Ambiguity:
When filling out details pertaining to family and education. Kindly take care not be evasive and misleading, let's face it there is the whole world of difference between "I work in the dairy industry" and I am a "milkman". Mention the degrees and diplomas that you legit hold and the fields in which you have them. Your family status, your parent's occupation, and financial status must be truthful and clear as these are some of the things that one would pore over while finding a match, and honestly so would you in order to determine the compatibility. It's hard enough contemplating marriage to someone you've met online; being honest can go a long way in easing multitude of fears.
There is no wrong answer:
Next comes your partner preferences. Remember, this might just be the most important of them all. You will be required to list down all that you are for in a partner. Again, it is imperative that you remain honest, be clear about your requirements and be careful not to veer into offensive and sensibility smarting areas. You are not dictating terms to your partner or giving them your custom matrimonial tips, but simply stating the qualities you'd like them to possess. There is no wrong or right answer here, you are only required to be upfront, after all, each and everyone out there has the same goal as you, that is, finding a soul mate and your clear preferences will only aid in making it a reality.
Your profile picture:
All you have to ensure is that your picture showcases the best side of you, not profile or frontal side, but an image that shows you in your element. A good picture can do wonders and ensure that you don't post pictures of you with another person, pet or a group. These pictures must be recent and relevant.

So I swore off reading comments on Facebook because who needs more negativity in life, right? Just as I was back to living my own sort-of-happy life, I had to be pushed back into the dark by an absurd comment I heard.
I was smoking a cigarette outside our condo next to a man and a woman. The man brought up the whole LGBT issue and mentioned his sentiments on why people couldn't just let go. The woman voiced out that what Manny said was absurd and further educated the man on sexuality and equality. Their conversation ended with the man saying "that's fucked up." She continued to argue, but the man simply forced his dominance with a single shush. She fell silent, almost defeated.
I was left alone dumbfounded with more haziness in my brain than the smoke I was exhaling.
I thought I was done with negativity. I thought I could let it go. But I can't. I won't.
I am angry, sad, disheartened, and afraid. I am furious that I may not be given the same rights many straightly enjoy. I am sad that I may not see the day we can freely express our love to the person we feel it for. I am disheartened for I am starting to lose hope that I can attain what's also mine, something that's already been given to others in a silver platter. I am afraid some will kill me for being gay just because a book declares my sexuality to be wrong. I am scared of being hurt for being gay just because no law protects me from such discrimination.
Walking around the mall, I see a happy couple almost in every corner. Many of them fashion wedding rings. No one is judging them for they are popularly "correct". If I did the same, I will be judged as an abomination.
For being a gay Filipino, why must I be sentenced to second-class citizenship? I work to feed myself. I pay my taxes. I contribute money to whatever the government subjects me to. Why then can't the government serve me? Parang mas marami pa atang karapatan ang mga kriminal at ang mga manyak kaysa sa akin na hangad lang ang mag-mahal.
All over social media, I see posts saying "we love the LGBT, but we don't agree with SSM." Some back this claim with quotes from their favorite book as "sufficient" evidence. How can you love someone and prohibit them from their happiness at the same time? It's like an employer who says he loves his employees but won't give what's rightfully theirs.
Others will also reiterate that it's not about the being, but the act of homosexuality. That having sex is wrong. They love us, but they hate us for having sex. They cannot allow us to have a union because we will only have sex.
Bakit ganon lang ang tingin niyo sa amin? Oo may mga gusto makipag-sex, pero hindi lahat ng homosexuals gusto lang magkaroon ng union para lang ma-chupa at chumupa. Our relationship goes beyond the bedroom. We love the way you do. We get hurt the way you do. We hugot the way you do. Why can't you let me love others like you do?
Some would even argue that having same-sex union legalized would be a step closer to bestiality. For the love of love, I don't see the logic there, but it scares the crap out of me that someone can think this way. A union should still be between two consenting partners. I don't think you can get a dog to sign that consent.
And then you have those who argue that loving the LGBT is like loving the rapist. That being homosexual is like being a rapist. Since when was rape similar to being gay? We're not out to fuck every man or woman out there. We're not out to have sex forcibly with whatever moves. We are also decent. Like you. To some extent, maybe even more decent than some of you.
I'm tired of being shot in the head with verses. I am sick of my being forcefully penetrated by your beliefs. We're not forcing you to be us. We're not trying to push our dicks inside you, so please stop forcing us to suck your book.
Your religion isn't the only religion in this world. And many of us have no set religion at all. It's enough for us to be decent human beings. So not all of us agree that you're correct. The way you have faith in your religion, we also have faith in something else. Mine isn't better than yours, just as yours isn't better than mine.
You say that's your opinion and you tell us to respect it. We say the same. But more than respecting each other's opinion, I do hope we respect each other's humanity. "Common sense" lang naman, in "my opinion".
We're not asking you to turn gay. All we're asking is to be given the choice of having a union. We're asking to be given the chance to see our partner on their deathbed. We're asking to have the rights you enjoy, the ones some of you also neglect.
Kung gusto niyong angkinin ang salitang "kasal" (marriage), sige sa inyo na 'yan. Pero wag niyong namang sarilihin ang "pagkakaisa" (union) dahil may karapatan din naman ata kami bilang tao diyan.
Kung ang mga hayop nga may animal rights, bakit kaming mga tao rin pinagbabawalan niyo magkaron ng karapatan magmahal?

An excellent new addition to Hua Hin. A challenging course with spectacular views and a first rate experience all round.
The latest addition to Hua Hin's growing number of quality golf courses, Banyan Golf Club is set in a breathtaking location near the gulf of Thailand, surrounded by mountainous scenery and lush plant life. The views from the back nine are particularly memorable. Six different tee boxes mean everyone can set their own challenge, but the cleverly located water hazards and waste bunkers mean that even from the front tees it is no easy ride. If you can find the fairways you will generally get good lies from which to approach the fast, well manicured greens. The standout hole is probably the 10th, where a dramatic tee shot must carry shrubs and wasteland whilst avoiding woods to the left. If you can avoid the lottery of large rocks on the fairway, a tough second shot plays uphill to an elevated green which falls away awkwardly.
The downsides are small, but worth mentioning: most of the trees have yet to reach maturity so the course plays quite open, and some of the caddies remain inexperienced. Both of these things will improve with time however, and in any case with the facilities and management being first rate you quickly forget any minor niggles.
Like the sound of this course? Secure a tee time and take advantage of the discounted green fees on offer by adding Banyan Golf Club to your Hua Hin golf holiday package

Turning on Automatic Updates for Computers
Is it advisable to turn on automatic updates on pc? Are automatic updates applications or programs licensed?
Is it advisable to turn on automatic updates on pc? Are automatic updates applications or programs licensed?
Automatic update is by default installed in your OS (operating system). But then one might need to switch it on and it would then automatically download all the available updates necessary for the PC.
Updates sent out from Microsoft (That is if you are working on Windows) is to make the computer function more safely and provide its best performance.
There are several categories of updates. Critical updates or security updates provides protection patches and codes for all vulnerabilities possible against malware and other exploits of security.
Other updates provide correction of errors that are not meant for enhancing any existing functionalities. It is highly recommended to switch on the automatic updates to ensure one has the latest software and security patched for better computer experience and browsing.
I think it's not necessary to turn on the automatic updates on every software you install on your computer. But if it is Windows that you are referring to then turning on the automatic update is important to experience the latest updates on the functions of the operating system.
It improves and optimizes the processes that run in the background to make the system more stable and avoid frequent and untimely crashes. And most especially, it improves the performance.
But if it is the automatic updates available in the software you install, I guess it would also help at some point particularly on the programs you frequently used.
There are times that new versions of the programs require separate license that is not covered by your present subscription. It would be best to set the software's automatic update option to the one that will notify you of new version available and not to download it immediately.
Because the default for most programs is to download the update immediately if it is already available without notifying the user.

Monument Immigration started off with basically no web presence, years behind their competitors and looking for a head start. Monument was faced with a sizable client base that just wasn't motivated to use their immigration services in a do-or-die mentality—it was our job to show Monument's prospects just how urgent it really is to process your immigration applications ASAP.
Using powerful content to both persuade and inspire prospects to apply sooner rather than later, we placed Monument as the choice for immigration services. After starting on the ground floor, Mark and Monument Immigration are now enjoying dozens of new cases and new clients thank to Legal Legends' aggressive marketing strategies.

The International Theology of Work Grant Team Reflects on the Panama Conference
I've gone to lots of conferences. Sometimes they are tailored for inspiration, sometimes for information, sometimes for indoctrination, sometimes for integration---of peers and ideas.
The ICETE Conference held on the plush beaches of Playa Bonita, Panama, this November, had some of all of this, but with a supreme purpose of struggling with one singular theme---"How do we address the 'secular-sacred' divide that has seduced many evangelical Christians into posturing a religious bent on one day of the week, or consigning Christian professionals into the metaphoric airline "first class" of evangelism while lay people are relegated to the "economy class" of so-called "secular occupations".
ICETE, deciphered, is the International Council of Evangelical Theological Education that brings together hundreds of bible colleges and seminaries that are networked into a dozen or so formal accrediting associations, that extend around the world The conference itself meets every three years to tackle a contemporary theme. This year, 460 theological academics, book publishers, and Christian trainers gathered, representing 75 nations, and over 200 institutions to tackle this very contemporary theme.
We noted that the MSF TOW program has awarded 414 grants to institutions that have engaged 59 lecturers and professors, in sessions have exposed 55,000 participants to the themes.
However, a new major shift in the allotment of grant funds was introduced, encouraging local ICETE-related organizations to find qualified teachers who would be mentored by core MSF-assigned professors, tutored through a formal course, in an arrangement that would credentialize them to receive scholarship funding, and a commission to formally teach these courses under Mustard Seed auspices. A detailed description of this new initiative was made available to all participants and can be downloaded here.
Overall, there were ten "take-aways" for me from the five days in Panama.

The Difference Between Common Skin Ailments
Like this? Then share it with your friends! A common question I've been getting is how to tell the difference between skin ailments. There are a few that can be mistaken for one another. Being misdiagnosed is very frustrating and can lead to months, or even years of inaccurate treatment, sometimes causing bigger problems than the original ailment. Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is probably one of the most misdiagnosed skin ailments. It's very common, and is usually easy to figure out if you've had any experience with it. The most common form is usually referred to as "chicken skin" because of the raised bumps that form on theRead More →

We interrupt the story for a Jinni Rant
on August 6, 2018 at 00:01
Chapter: Fillers
Jinni really wanted to get this off her chest, and wouldn't let me make story-line comic till it was done! Save me from World of Warcraft loving Vampires! (wow this is a LONG comic… it is literally 4 pages!)
Don't forget that Patreon has prolly declined your payment! This is an issue from their end, though they seem to want you guys to check your banks etc. I know that this month I got $0.88 so almost all payments were declined. I am sorry about this. its annoying I know.
Oh and Jinni will be playing WoW in the next expansion as well! She just loves the game!

Makapuu Trail Engagement Photos in Oahu Hawaii | Aly & Rob
Another day, another day for engagement photos in Oahu Hawaii. When Aly told me they wanted to bring their husky fur baby Juno to their engagement session, I straight up DIED. My obsession with dogs is pretty steep, so if I can encourage anyone to bring their pups to be in their engagement photos, I will do it!
We took Juno to a popular hiking trail to take their engagement photos. This is the walking path on the right of the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail and takes us through a huge field of grass. This was the summertime, so the even though the grass wasn't green we loved it! We don't have any legit wheat fields to take engagement photos in Oahu, so I'll take these locations when I can get them! Sometimes we, Hawaii peeps, want some photos in Hawaii without looking to "Hawaii."
PLUS, they told me they weren't beach people. I totally get that, not everyone is! So why take engagement photos on a beach, when that isn't really you? The answer is you shouldn't haha. Take Rob & Aly's lead and take your engagements photos in Hawaii wherever you want to!
Some locations may be harder to get to or get good light in, but that's where I come in! We can find a location to get us good light and still make sense for you guys.
On that note, here are Aly & Rob's engagement photos at Makapuu Trail on Oahu in Hawaii :)

AP Analysis: The Buckeyes have overcome the early 14-point loss at home to 6-6 Virginia Tech. But after losing QB J.T. Barrett to a broken ankle last week, can they overcome both Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game and the first-game jitters of replacement Cardale Jones? The CFP committee says it will be watching.

The Flag Consideration Project Panel have reviewed all 10,292 suggested flag designs and recently announced an official long list of 40 flag designs.
In an open letter to all New Zealanders, the Panel has explained how the designs were chosen, and what happens next. They highlighted that "The message was clear, and the Panel agreed. A potential new flag should unmistakably be from New Zealand and celebrate us as a progressive, inclusive nation that is connected to its environment, and has a sense of its past and a vision for its future."
The designs included in the official long list will go forward for further investigation as part of the official design review process. You can view the long list of flag designs here.
Here is how the flag consideration process works:
In mid-September the Panel will announce the 4 alternatives which eligible voters will rank in the first binding referendum. The Panel encourages people to make sure they are enrolled to vote so that they can take part in this nationally significant process.
In March next year, New Zealand will vote between the current flag and the preferred alternative.
Here's a video on the history of NZ's flag:

Mandurah grommet Maverick Wilson takes victory at Parkos Groms Stomp
Mandurah grommet Maverick Wilson has continued his winning ways in the water taking out first place at the 11th annual Billabong Parkos Grom Stomp on a beautiful Spring day at Ann Street Reef in Currimundi, Queensland over the weekend.
The young star was one of eight champions crowned on the day, taking out the under 10s division title ahead of Will Martin (Coffs Harbour, NSW), Sid Englert (Gracetown, WA) and Max McGillvray (Evans Head, NSW) respectively.
Clean 1-2ft waves greeted the grommets, with Maverick taking full advantage of them to steer his way to another big win.
He wasn't the only local surfer to shine at the event national event, with Dawesville's Macklin Flynn coming in fourth in the under 12s competition.
The duo have been two of Mandurah's brightest young stars on the surfing scene, winning several state and national events between them over the past two years.
Macklin and his younger brother Ace will now prepare for the 2018 Hurley BL's Blast Off tournament, to be held in New South Wales this October.

How Good is your Access Control? Part 2
by todaystrainingblog
March 12, 2013
With visitors, delivery personnel, and other contractors, need to be signed in and issued an ID card when they are on the property. Ideally, the card they issued is a self-expiring type that they can't use more than once before it is rendered unusable with the expired in plain view across the front, or something similar. These cards can be useful, obviously, in keeping those who are unauthorized out of the building or attempting to re-use an old tag – for whatever the reason. On top of this however, is the fact that everyone involved must be observant to the card itself to notice that it's expired – the human equalization.
There was a cartoon in the newspaper nearly 30 years ago from Wayne Stayskal, at that time with the Tampa Tribune, that while funny on the surface, wasn't very flattering to those of us in security. It pictured 2 security officers with dark glasses on and a person in a gorilla suit walking by, with an ID card and lunch box. One says to the other 'Watch carefully. Sometimes the employees try to fool us by switching ID cards.' This is a good illustration of what I meant by the employees and security people needing to check to see if the cards are expired. If the cards aren't checked and someone can walk into your facility with an expired card, then …
If the individuals are visitors and coming in for a sales call or something similar, then they should be escorted throughout the facility as long as they are there. Consequently, deliveries shouldn't be allowed to circumvent the access control system to deliver a package to a different department. The department should be notified to come forward to claim their package. And the driver escorted, or issued new access to that new location. Many times this is circumvented because the same drivers delivery day in and day out. However, in today's environment, you can trust no one.
How will visitors and contractors gain access to your facility? And will they be monitored at all times? Are they contractors or salespeople? Are they there to service your forklifts or to make an adjustment to a machine you just purchased? Or possibly are they there to install new equipment and safety/security items?
Those are all questions that need to be addressed and answered. Will you need visitor badges or escorts? And then which door will they come through? Contractors will usually go through the employee entrance and other visitors through the main office, again depending on what they are there for.
How secure is your main office area? Can a potentially violent person walk right through and into the back occupied part of the office or are they limited by a locked door with a remote access? This would be the preferable system. But even that is no guarantee of being safe, especially with the high powered firearms that available today.
I had a client more than 20 years ago who had installed a controlled access system to their back office from the reception area and controlled access to the employee entrance. It was one of the few places in the late80's that had such a system of controlled access, at least in St. Joseph, Mo. . . . Most people thought it was too much over-kill, but in light of the explosion of WPV in the 90's, it was a good forethought.
Access control is not as complicated as most people want you to think it is. Many times it's all about the 5 W's and H. The hardest part is deciding which system to use and picking a vendor.
The questions you have to ask when thinking about access control is the following; who will be coming into your business? What purpose are they coming in for, work, visiting, lunch, sales, deliveries, or an otherwise nefarious purpose? When are they going to be coming in or out? And going along with this is differing levels of access.
Where are they going to enter or exit? As we discussed above, each level of person entering/exiting the business need to have different areas they can get into or out of the building. Deliveries need to go one place, contractors and employees to another. Sales people to an entirely different entrance.
Why are they coming into your business? This may be one of the biggest questions you have to answer. Are they coming in to work, collect a paycheck, conduct work/maintenance on a machine, sell you something, or delivery a pizza? These questions will impact your access control.
Lastly, and one of the headaches you'll have in deciding, is How will they enter/exit? Will you require card access or simple visualization? Will I be utilizing a sign in/out sheet with ID cards or having them escorted everywhere? If you decide for a card system which one? A swipe for employees or just visual ID tags?
All of these questions can't be easily answered in a short chapter. If necessary you may have to hire an outside consultant to discover what would work best for your business. Likewise, some businesses won't lend themselves to being secured better than others. A retail store for example relies on customers having easy and open access to the store. Consequently, a manufacturing plant or closed office can secure itself a whole lot easier.
