This one is probably a bit more of a surprise than others. Or perhaps not. Some of it is that Fa'Lina is many things and to a degree her orientation has never had much reason to be presented in the comic proper. The struggle of being single, since a lot of times most media relies on a relationship as a means to showcase someone's sexuality.
But, one's relationship status (or lack of) isn't really a reliable qualifier for one's orientation. Still, that doesn't negate at times I do feel genuinely guilty about how this has been a facet of her character since probably close to day one of her creation but it's never really been brought up in comic.
I suppose though there is also perhaps a bit of ideal world in my thoughts, where in DMFA it isn't considered a particularly big deal. In that Fa'Lina is also over ten thousand years old and possibly fifty feet tall with three sets of wings. That she likes ladies is probably the least impressive detail about her character in the scheme of things. At least by DMFA character standards.

For well over a decade, roots/dub artist Solomon Jabby has
been studying and perfecting his craft of classic dub and roots reggae. After
releasing two full-length dub albums (in addition to countless riddims,
singles, and dubplates), Jabby took a bold step forward with 2007's "Firmly
Planted," a full length vocal album that showcased the pinnacle of his artistic
development: a resounding work of expert musicianship, classic roots-centered
vocal style, and authentic spiritual depth.
In 2009,
Solomon Jabby revisited this body of work with the task of creating something
completely new; an album that invites the listener deep into the heart of the
songs, highlighting each instrumental performance in true dub fashion. This
exciting new work, Firmly Planed In Dub, finds Solomon Jabby refining his old
school dub talents and adding several new dubs that didn't make it onto the
original Firmly Planted release.
These new songs coupled with the re-invention
of the previously released material create a truly fresh offering steeped in
the convention of traditional dub reggae, yet full of innovation and

The American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) is a small yellow, or golden, songbird in the finch family. During breeding season a male American goldfinch's impressively bright summer plumage and black forehead draws a lot of attention — they are difficult to miss. In the winter, however, the goldfinch's plumage can appear drab and blotchy.
The goldfinch in the photo below is a transitional male. Note the variation in feathers on the forehead above the eye. This bird will molt and eventually drab-yellow feathers will replace the black feathers.
American goldfinches are year round residents in the Northeast and in much of the lower 48. The drab plumage of female goldfinches allows the birds to camouflage in their habitat as shown below.
The photograph below is good representation of a goldfinch's body feathers. This wind-blown goldfinch is perched on a small lightning rod and at this angle the loose, downy barbs are exposed — only the tips of the body feathers are colored. These tips are called the vane.
Here is another photograph of the same goldfinch that shows the differently colored body feathers.
Here is another photo of the same bird with all of its feathers in place. Even in its winter plumage the American goldfinch is still strikingly beautiful.
American goldfinches are common at backyard feeders and in gardens all year round, especially in the winter. Feeding backyard birds is easy and can be done in a number of ways. For more information read How to get started feeding wild birds and read about the different ways to attract wild birds.

Radius is a $15M+ marketing and media organization that merged four companies with very different technology configurations and needs. We needed to join all of the disparate and unstable IT systems as they were difficult and expensive to maintain. We hired Mile High Networks to help us get control of our network then merge it into a standard, stable environment. Their work has allowed us to not only reduce our IT costs but allowed our users to finally focus on their jobs instead of fighting their computers.
After the success of the merge, we were so confident in Mile High Networks abilities that we choose them as our managed services provider, eliminating our need to hire IT staff. Their strategies has certainly helped us keep up with technology, their support response has been phenomenal and they've kept our systems running smoothly. Thanks to Mile High Networks, our IT is now working the way it should be.

Yes, it's possible: preventing fraudsters from getting to you via online trickery and other stealthy actions. Yes, it's possible to be thinking one step ahead of cybercriminals. There are simple precautions you can take to help avoid online fraud from happening to you. Here are some essential tips you should follow.
Let's begin with emails—the conduit through which so many cyber crimes like ID theft occur.
- Imagine snail-mailing vital information like your SSN, bank account number, a duplicate of your driver's license and your credit card number. At some point in the delivery process, someone opens the letter and sees the contents. This isn't good. Electronic messages are not entirely private, either. Recognize this risk before sending knowing that, in transmission, there is a chance your information can be seen. Sometimes the telephone is a better option.
- Ignore sensationalistic offers in your inbox like some ridiculously low price on the same kind of prescription drug you pay out of pocket for; it's likely a scam.
- Ever get an email from a familiar sender, and all that's in it is a random link? Don't click on it; it may trigger a viral attack. As for the sender, a crook has compromised your friend's email and figured out a way to make it look like the email is from someone you know.
- In line with the above, never open an attachment from an unfamiliar sender; otherwise, you may let in a virus.
- If someone you know sends you an unexpected attachment, email or call that person for verification before opening it.
- Enable your email's filtering software to help weed out malicious emails.
- Ignore emails asking for "verification" of account information. Duh.
If you've been smart and avoided clicking on any random email links and you haven't openly sent your personal information online, your next item to think about is the passwords you use.
- Don't put your passwords on stickies and then tape them to your computer.
- Do a password inventory and make sure all of them contain a mix of letters, numbers, and characters, even if this means you must replace all of them. They also should not include actual words or names. Bad password: 789Jeff; good password: 0$8huQP#. Resist the temptation to use a pet's name or hobby in your password.
- Every one of your accounts gets a different password and change them often. Sound like a recipe for disaster? A password manager tool can eliminate the need to remember every one individually, so forgetfulness isn't an excuse.
- Use two-factor authentication. This is where you not only need to enter your password to gain access to your account but you also need to verify that it's really you by some other means. This is usually done in the form of a code sent to your mobile device. Most online accounts now offer two-factor authentication.
General tips to prevent online fraud
We're not done yet. Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sneaky, hence cyber crimes are skyrocketing each year. Here are some other tips you need to follow in order to protect yourself from online fraud.
- Make sure your computer and smartphone are protected with antivirus/anti-malware and a firewall. And keep these updated.
- Use a Virtual Private Network (or VPN) to encrypt your online activities and hide your personal data from hackers, especially when connected to an unsecured Wi-Fi network like you might find at a coffee shop, hotel, or airport. You can download Hotspot Shield here for free on both your computer and cellular device.
- Your Wi-Fi router has a default password; change it because cyber thieves already know what the default passwords are.
- When purchasing items online, visit only well-established merchants.
- Try to limit online transactions to sites that have an "https" rather than "http." A secure site also has a padlock icon before the https.
- Make sure you never make a typo when typing into the URL; some con artists have created phony sites that reflect typos, and once you're on and begin entering your account information, a crook will have it in his hands.
- Access your financial or medical accounts only on your personal computer, never a public one.
- Ignore emails or pop-ups that ask for account or personal information.
- When you're done using a financial site, log out.
- Be careful what you post on social media. Often we post our locations, when and where we're traveling to, our kids' names and ages, et cetera. For a cybercriminal, a quick scroll through your Facebook feed could reveal much of the personal information they need to build their fake profile.
With some planning and by taking the necessary precautions, you can protect yourself from online fraud. While there are no guarantees, you should think of it like protecting your home against burglars; by adding security cameras, an alarm system, stickers on the windows highlighting that alarm, and a sign on the gate that says "beware of the dog", a burglar will likely find a house that's easier to rob. Hackers are no different.
Follow these tips and protect yourself from online fraud.

[WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Finding Dory]
From the moment that the inflatable ball from Toy Story began appearing in other movies, or posters, comics and billboards advertised characters and companies from previous films, fans have know that Pixar Animation is nearly unrivaled in terms of easter eggs, secret details, and hidden references. Whether they're obvious ones meant to give seasoned fans an extra laugh, or incredibly subtle ones that were placed for only the animators' enjoyment, fans have searched for each and every one as soon as Pixar films hit theaters.
That offers yet another reason to line up and see Finding Dory, picking up essentially right where Finding Nemo left off. But to make sure that fans can catch all the extra content without repeat viewings, we've broken down the background details, veiled references, and behind-the-scenes stories fueling every added touch. Whether it's other Pixar movies being referenced, or another bombshell shared universe crossover, we've got you covered:
18 Boat Markings
Numbers hardly ever appear in a Pixar film without purpose or hidden meaning, and the scene pictured above (glimpsed by fans in one of the film's first trailers) is no exception. As Dory is first scooped out of the bay by workers at the Marine Life Institute, two numbers stand out on the hull of their boat. Both are actually references to Pixar's past and present. The '1200' is a direct nod to the studio's address (1200 Park Avenue, Emeryville, California), while the '86' is meant to signify 1986 - the year that Pixar first officially became its own standalone incorporated entity.
17 Seawater Supply TL59
Major Disney and Pixar movies usually wind up influencing the company's amusement parks and attractions, but rarely does it go the other way. Yet in Finding Dory, a room behind the scenes of the marine facility shows a water pipe clearly marked as "Seawater Supply TL59." As spotted by UltimateOrlando (image above) that same pipe and label is lifted directly from the queue area of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage in Disneyland. It might seem like a clever way of referencing the park in the film, but the truth goes even deeper: the pipe itself was an easter egg delivered by the engineers who designed it. Since the Submarine Voyage was merely given a makeover for Finding Nemo, the team paid tribute to the attraction's actual grand opening 1959, as part of 'Tomorrowland' (TL59).
16 Darla Cameo
When Hank and Dory are carrying on a conversation in the Marine Life Institute's quarantine, there are plenty of notes, details, and barely-visible items that will likely be picked over once home video arrives. But in the meantime, some can be made out during the first viewing. Chief among them: a photo of the fish menace from Down Under - Darla. The photo is just out of focus behind Dory's tank, but it's impossible to miss: the photo is the exact same one seen in a frame by the dentist office fish in Finding Nemo. Why is a young, brace-faced, menacing young girl's photo in two different spots on the Pacific Ocean? That's a mystery we can't yet answer, but for the moment, we'll just assume it's due to the animators having a tough time forgetting her. Whatever helps.
15 Lava Magnet
It isn't just the main attraction that moviegoers enjoy when attending a screening of Finding Dory, but the traditional short film from Pixar which runs before it. For Finding Dory, that short is Piper - but it's not the only one included in the finished film. Few who saw Inside Out could forget Lava, the short film following a volcanic island's search for love through the power of song. So keep your eyes peeled as Hank and Dory move into the Marine Life Institute lab, and you can spot a small magnet holding up a few papers. The magnet takes the same image used for the Lava poster (of the volcano), but instead of the short's title, the name of the singing star - 'Uku' - is used instead.
14 Wall-E Calendar
The tiny nods continue when Hank has Dory suspended over a massive aquarium in a plastic cup. The easter egg actually has nothing to do with the fish, but keep an eye towards the background of the scene, and you'll see a work station lit just enough to make out some details. Squint extra hard, and you'll notice the calendar on the wall sports the name "Wall-E" - for the Pixar film starring a trash compacting robot in a post-apocalyptic hellscape of garbage and pollution. The inclusion will add even more fuel to the theory that the Pixar films don't just take place in the same universe, but along the same timeline. Who knows: maybe the new Wall-E units were just beginning to roll out, and someone at the Marine Life Institute was a fan?
13 Luxo Ball
With every Pixar movie comes a few easter eggs that downright must be included (and no, we're not talking about the "Ultimate Easter Egg" released as an April Fools Joke, but taken seriously by plenty of easter egg lists out there). The most famous - or simply easiest to spot - is the infamous Luxo Ball: the yellow rubber ball with the blue stripe and red star that seems to be included in nearly every cluttered background shot. In the case of Finding Dory, the ball can be spotted in the 'Kid Zone' of the Marine Life Institute. You won't have long to spot it, but as always, it's hard to miss.
12 Sigourney Weaver
It's one of the best gags of the film: when Dory arrives at the Marine Life Institute, she is greeted by the booming voice of actress Sigourney Weaver, claiming that... well, "I'm Sigourney Weaver." By the end of the film, Dory considers Weaver her friend, while other sea creatures believe her to be a supreme being. It's a joke that's pretty mired in behind the scenes details. For starters, the joke was thought up and inserted with placeholder dialogue fully expecting to be axed not soon after. But as viewings and feedback from Pixar's higher-ups came and went, the joke remained, meaning the time came to actually ask the actress if she would do it. Obviously, she appreciated the gag, and agreed. It's not hard to see why the idea popped into the storytellers' heads, either: Weaver performs a similar voice over role at the California Academy of Sciences.
11 Piper Poster
The short film Piper marks the directorial debut of Pixar's Alan Barillaro, relying, yet again, on absolutely no spoken dialogue to tell a compelling story (something Barillaro honed his skills on with Wall-E). But once the short story of a young sandpiper growing to adulthood has ended, it's not the last audiences may see of its star, Piper. Look to the background when Hank is removing Dory from a smaller fish tank at the Marine Life Institute with a coffee pitcher, and you'll see a painting of Piper.
10 Fluke & Rudder's Tags
Two sea creatures added to the Finding Nemo sequel managed to steal some scenes even before the film was released, since the two sea lions showed a tendency to flip from easygoing to mindlessly barking if another creature tries to claim their rock for themselves. The sea lions, Fluke and Rudder are clearly spun out of the same idea as Nigel and the seagulls from the first film, but these animals also spotted a famous easter egg in additional marketing for the film. The easter egg comes in the form of yellow tags placed on each of the sea lions' tails - Fluke's reads "A1" while Rudder brings up the "13" - paying tribute to the classroom in which many of Pixar's bosses first learned their craft while attending the California Institute of the Arts.
9 From Enemies, Friends
Another easter egg that may be completely lost on some audience members is the choice of voice actor roles for Fluke and Rudder - played by Idris Elba and Dominc West, respectively. While they may be close friends here, the pair's most famous work is undoubtedly HBO's The Wire, in which Elba played the crimelord Stringer Bell, and West, Detective Jimmy McNulty, the cop trying to bring him down. The duo haven't shared the screen too many times sence, but director Andrew Stanton has admitted that he cast the two of them in the part of the sea lions because of their shared time on the crime series.
8 Idris Elba's Big Year
Less of an easter egg, and more of a moment in history that Disney fans won't want to miss, since Finding Dory marks the third time in just one year that Idris Elba voiced a large, imposing character in a Disney film. First, he appeared as 'Chief Bogo,' a no-nonsense cape buffalo and chief of police in Disney's Zootopia. Then came a meatier (pun intended) role as the villainous Shere Khan in Jon Favreau's remake of The Jungle Book. And finally, appearing here as Fluke, the massive sea lion sought for some local advice by Marlin and Nemo when searching for Dory.
7 Toy Story Throwback
Once Dory finally does encounter a sizable swarm of fellow Blue Tangs, the audience learns that Dory isn't exactly unique in her, let's say, 'flighty' intellect. The point is driven home for a laugh, when the group witnesses something incredible, followed soon after by an "Ooooooooooooohhhh" delivered in unison. The joke works on its own, but it's hard for any Pixar fan to not get a serious dose of deja vu, since the group reaction is a nod right back to the company's roots - the alien beings in the claw machine of Toy Story. Shared universe/expressions confirmed.
6 Die Hard Shared Universe
Speaking of "shared universe," by now even casual fans of Disney and Pixar films must have heard of 'The Pixar Theory,' posing that each and every movie released by the studio so far is not just set in the same universe, but is telling one massive story. The story is one of global apocalypse, and humanity's role being usurped by animals or robots. but when Mashable went a step further and postulated that the Pixar Universe is also home to the Die Hard movie series, many at Pixar took notice. The video was only mentioned as a lighthearted joke, and was taken as such. But director Andrew Stanton admitted that the team enjoyed it so much, they decided to offer some more evidence - in the form of not one, but TWO Die Hard references hidden in the film.
The manic sea lions may take care of the long-running 'A113' easter egg, but there's one featured even more prominently. When the final chase sequence of the movie kicks off, audience members will have a hard time missing the license plate of one vehicle - printed CALA113 - which goes even farther than previous appearances. Not only is the classroom mentioned, but the abbreviation of Cal Arts, where most Pixar founders learned their trade in Valencia, California.
4 The Original Nemo
That closing chase sequence also packs a powerful cameo. The role of Nemo from his titular movie was played by the then-12-year-old actor Nolan Gould. But even though Finding Dory is set within just a year after the story concluded, the thirteen years that had passed in real life meant that Gould could no longer fit the part. As a result, a new actor - Hayden Rolence - was brought in to suuply Nemo's childlike lines. But Gould wasn't left out completely, playing a small cameo role as one of the truck drivers overheard in the same chase sequence.
3 Pizza Planet Truck
Along with the Luxo Ball and lamp, the presence of a Pizza Planet delivery truck is another necessity in any Pixar film. Finding Nemo contained one of the subtlest inclusions of the yellow pick-up truck adorned with a space shuttle, barely visible as the bagged tank gag rolled their way into the Sydney Harbor. Finding Dory follows suit, meaning fans will need to look fast, and hard to spot the Pizza Planet Truck when Hank and Dory acquire a ride to Cleveland. It's hidden in the traffic jam, as one of the most distant vehicles ahead.
2 The Tank Gang
Those fans who sit through the movie's full credits get to enjoy even more of Hank's clever camouflage, but are also treated to another cameo in a post-credits scene. We'll skip right by the question of how the Tank Gang from the first movie managed to survive the trip from Australia to California contained in sealed plastic bags, and wonder how they're still floating under their own power. Whatever the explanation, the whole voice cast returns as well, from Willem Dafoe to Brad Garrett and Allison Janney - with one exception...
1 Passing The Torch
Sharp-eyed viewers (who seriously recall the details of the first movie) will notice that out of all the Tank Gang's plastic bag conveyances, it's only Jacques the Shrimp (the clean freak) who has kept any algae from affecting his living space. Sadly, the original voice of Jacques - Pixar screenwriter, animator, storyboard artist, and voice actor Joe Ranft - passed away in 2005. As a result, it's his brother, Pixar sculptor Jerome Ranft who returns to supply the shrimp's voice, having also succeeded his brother in voicing 'Red' from Cars.
Those are the easter eggs, secrets and tiny touches we spotted in Finding Dory, but be sure to let us know which ones we've overlooked, and we'll keep updating the list as more and more secrets are uncovered.

First interviews… what would you take with you? Would you turn up with your pets? Perhaps take your children or friends? Would you wear a football shirt? Or maybe take some food and an alcoholic drink?
Now, I'm not for one minute saying that I don't like any of the above however none of them are relevant when you're trying to make a good first impression on a future employer. We now live in a world where we can access pretty much anything in a number of seconds and the majority of hiring manager's first move, when they are introduced to a candidate, will be to look them up on LinkedIn, creating their very first impression of a candidate.
"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression" ….. Will Rogers
I've listed below what I feel are the five keys guidelines to follow when selecting your profile picture and ultimately making your first impression to future employers, clients and business partners.
1 – Look professional
All LinkedIn profiles should be used in a business capacity so it is vital that we look professional and portray a professional manner at all times. My advice would be to wear a smart suit or formal business attire. Different industries can carry with them different styles and levels of professional attire, therefore, providing you are in line with the expectation of your profession, you should have no issues.
2 – Appear approachable
A dark photograph, a shadow on your face, hidden underneath a big hat… I would suggest that none of those would represent the most approachable of people. Happy people with full faces showing are much more approachable, considered more trustworthy and convey positive vibes.
3 – It's 'your' profile
What I mean by this is that LinkedIn is a social media page designed to represent you and your attributes. My suggestion would be to use an individual headshot displaying your head and shoulders in the frame, not too close to the camera and not too far away. This is important so that those viewing your profile can get a good look at your confident professional manner. Including others in your picture can very often lead to confusion, so it's probably best to leave the group pictures to Facebook.
4 – No selfies
Over the last few years due to social media and further advancing mobile technology we have seen the popular phase of the 'selfie' come to life. Although the Instagram and Facebook worlds have grown into selfie communities I would suggest that LinkedIn is not the appropriate place for selfies. They tend to be of lower quality, lack professionalism and most seem to be unaware of the backgrounds behind them; a nightclub toilet is far from a great first impression! For more about selfies and LinkedIn, read my colleague's – Sarah Socha – blog.
5 – Up to date
Finally I would suggest your picture should have been taken with in the last 12 months and is regularly updated. Recent trends such as growing facial hair and changing your hair colour on a regular basis requires pictures to be updated. When you decide to let go of those long students locks, make sure your picture does to.
All of the above are purely suggestions based on my personal and professional experience working with sales talent within the IT industry.

I loved that idea so we booked a studio in Boulder, I hired my graphic designer, and we pulled a great hair stylist on board who specializes in Hollywood glam hair. We went over wardrobe in detail and Alex even brought out the guns. We played music from the Bond films throughout the shoot and copied certain poses we had pulled from past movie posters. In the end it came out perfect. I mean who doesn't want to be a sexy Bond couple? Can't wait to photograph the wedding of the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Gross … coming this August.

NOW Foods Xylitol Powder
There's a lot to like about xylitol. This naturally occurring sugar alcohol is one of the healthiest and most unique sweeteners you'll find. Unlike sugars such as sucrose and fructose, NOW Real Food Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, which doesn't promote tooth decay. Even though it's classified as a carbohydrate, it has a low glycemic impact due to its slow absorption in the digestive tract, and its caloric impact is around 1/3 lower than other carbohydrates, making xylitol a healthy sweetener that's hard to beat.
Suggested Usage:
NOW Real Food Xylitol Powder is derived from non-GMO corn and is the perfect healthy substitute for sugar in many cooking applications.

Do we have a good one for you today – the HTC One M9 goes up against the new Yu Yuphoria. Can the $110 Yuphoria with a 64-bit processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, stand up to the all-metal HTC One M9? The HTC One M9 certainly outclasses the Yuphoria in just about every area, but for only $110, we must certainly give the Yuphoria a chance to compete against the HTC fan favorite.
The two devices share a few things in common – for starters, they both have almost the same physical size, mostly because they both use a 5-inch display with IPS LCD technology, although different resolutions. They both use a 64-bit processor – one with an Octa-core and one with a quad-core. Both have a microSD card slot to expand their internal memory and both use a large front-facing camera (FFC) – 4MP (UltraPixels) on the One M9 and 5MP on the Yuphoria. They both have the usual suspects – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (4.1 on the One M9 and 4.0 on the Yuphoria,) GPS, a built-in FM Radio, quick ways to charge their batteries and a microUSB port for charging and data transfer.
Please take a deliberate look at the detailed Specifications Comparison chart below and here you will see just how these two great devices stack up against one another – click on the "View Full Comparison" link at the end of the chart to expand the details. After that, we will look at each individual device in greater detail and point out some of its pros and cons. From all of this information we will try to determine the winner based on specs and execution of design and functions.
HTC One M9
The HTC One M9 could never be mistaken for anything else, although it looks deceivingly like the One M7 thanks to the removal of the duo-camera. It has HTC One's all-metal body and a nicely curved backing making it a joy to hold. This year HTC did not make many changes in the design of the case, but they did make a subtle redesign around the sides of the body with a small lip for better gripping. This year, if anything, HTC is being criticized for not doing enough changes…but why change one of the nicest looking smartphones on the market?
The HTC One M9 sports a 5-inch Full HD Super LCD3 display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 441 pixels-per-inch (PPI) – this compares to only an HD display on the Yuphoria with the 294 PPI. HTC selected the 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with four cores clocked at 1.5GHZ and four cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The Yuphoria is using the 64-bit Snapdragon quad-core clocked at only 1.2GHz. The One M9 is packing 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, while the Yuphoria is packing 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, and both a microSD card for additional storage up to 128GB on the One M9 and 32GB on the Yuphoria.
HTC really did a makeover in the camera area and while they succeeded in making it better, it still does not include OIS. The main 4MP UltraPixel camera has been moved around to the front, which should provide great selfies and video chatting and allow it take good low-light pictures. HTC replaced the main camera with a 20MP sensor with autofocus and dual-tone LED flash. This compares to the small 8MP main camera on the Yuphoria, along with a large 5MP FFC. The One M9 uses a non-removable 2840mAh battery, which is larger than the 2230mAh removable battery in the Yuphoria. The One M9 does support Quick Charge 2.0 thanks to its Qualcomm processor, while the Yuphoria supports Quick Charge 1.0.
The HTC One M9 retains the dual front-facing stereo speakers with BoomSound, a built-in IR Blaster, NFC and comes in Gunmetal Gray, Amber Gold, Silver/Rose Gold and Gold/Pink. It is running Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and pricing is around $199 on a two-year contract and $600 off contract.
Yu Yuphoria
Yu Televentures is a wholly owned subsidiary of Micromax, a very popular Indian manufacturer of smartphones, well known for quality at a cheap price. The brand is finally starting to gain notoriety outside the country. The Yu Yureka, priced slightly higher, was the first YU device to hit the market earlier this year. The YU Yuphoria is their latest rendition of a quality smartphone at a rock-bottom price. The phone is mostly made of plastic with metal trim that goes around the nicely rounded outside edges. It has a rather unique setup on the right-hand side of the device – the power button is nestled between the slightly raised volume up and down buttons…a rather strange configuration, but one you will eventually get used to the feel.
The Yuphoria sports a 5-inch IPS LCD HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and 294 PPI – this goes up against the One M9's FHD 5-inch display with 441 PPI. The Yuphoria uses a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core clocked at 1.2GHz with 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage, complete with a microSD card slot for expansion up to an additional 32GB. The One M9 uses a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor 3GB and 32GB of internal memory, which also has a microSD card slot to add an additional 128GB of memory.
The main camera uses a 8MP sensor with autofocus and an LED flash, and it has a huge metal ring surrounding the lens – this goes up against the 20MP camera in the One M9 that adds a dual-tone flash…neither device has OIS. The Yuphoria has a large 5MP FFC for excellent social selfies and video chatting and the One M9 uses a 4MP UltraPixel sensor. The Yuphoria has a small, removable 2230mAh battery compared to the much larger 2840mAh non-removable battery in the One M9. Both batteries will get you through a normal day and both devices have quick charge features.
The Yu Yuphoria is a dual-SIM device and sports Pure Wolfson Sound and AAC speakers. Although the speaker on the device is on the soft side, you can appreciate it better through a good pair of earbuds (not the ones that come with the device). It is running Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with Cyanogen 12 riding on top. The phone is available in two colors – Buffed Steel and Champagne Gold for approximately $110.
…And The Winner Is…
This is really a tough one to select – on one hand you have the superior build and specs of the HTC One M9, but on the other hand, you have a device with decent specs that would satisfy many users and all for only $110 versus the $600 cost of the HTC One M9.
Well, call me crazy, but I would rather have the more sophisticated and better spec'd HTC One M9, so I am picking it as the winner of this comparison even though it is going to cost more money. It has the faster Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor, more RAM, more internal memory, better display, a bigger battery, NFC capability, a built-in IR Blaster, and those great sounding dual, front-facing stereo speakers with BoomSound.
Yes, the Yuphoria does only cost $110 – which is a great buy – but you are only getting a plastic device, a 720p display, a quad-core processor, lessor camera, only 2GB of RAM, only 16GB of internal memory, smaller battery, no NFC, no IR Blaster, a feeble speaker and an unpolished Cyanogen 12 overlay. A great phone for the money, but if you are a serious smartphone user that watches videos, listens to music and takes lots of pictures, I just believe you would be happier with the HTC One M9.

52 #1's in September. The reactions have begun to get at least a little more varied. Ranging from "Oh boy! 52 jumping off points!" to " But I actually LIKED where Batman inc was going". There have been piles of announcements ahead of the full official list and there are a few interesting things.
George Perez writing and drawing Superman (confirmed). Just freaking cool. I'm there.
Grant Morrison doing another Superman book (still unconfirmed). I loved his All-Star book. I'm there.
Batman inc is on a break until sometime next year. I went on a break from a girlfriend once. That didn't work out all that well.
David Finch on Dark Knight. What? He pumps out 2 cruddy issues in 6 months and they are "rebooting"? I can see the solicitation for September 2012 already…"superstar Finch to release 4th fabulous issue!" Ooh! Can hardly wait to miss this one. But since it will not be on time much, we will all "miss" it. On the whole the Batbooks seem to be getting kind of the short end of the stick. There is a little shuffling of names from one book to another, but nothing really cool. Greg Capullo on a Batman book is pretty cool. He is always a fun artist and getting away from Todd MacFarlane will do nothing bad for his career. Looks like Jason will still be around, and they will continue to clean him up and make him an anti-hero. Damian is still Robin, and Dick Grayson will go back to being Nightwing. The part that bugs me is that Barbara Gordon will be Batgirl again. Not from a continuity point does it bug me (The Killing Joke was never intended to be in canon), but rather the fact that I liked the Oracle angle.
A couple of things HAVE gotten my interest though. Justice League Dark looks to be written by Peter Milligan and has a fabulous cast. Any chance to see Madame Xanadu back in a book, since her great series by Matt Wagner and mostly Amy Reeder on art, is a real treat.
Also looking good is Animal Man. A possible cover is below, along with the third book that looks super cool, Resurrection Man, a character from the late 90's being brought back by its creator's Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning.
At least from the odd corners of the DCU, things are looking interesting. But to be honest, the whole "women need to cover their legs" thing is really stupid, and Power Girl in pants is gonna suck. It is as if DC thinks that no one will notice the huge boobage on all the femal characters if thier legs are covered. Take PG out of the mix and the cup sizes are still pretty spectacular. We shall see, but I'm guessing this last only as long as the readers keep coming. Sale dip, and off come the pants!

Better Storytelling Secrets
Authors discuss their writing techniques. Answers are by Larry Niven.
Hi, I'm Mark O'Bannon. Welcome to this rare look into the secrets of storytelling from published authors.
Today, I'm joined by, Larry Niven, the author of Ringworld, the co-author of The Mote in God's Eye and Lucifer's Hammer, the editor of the Man-Kzin War series. Larry Niven has written or co-authored over 50 books. He is a five-time winner of the Hugo Award, along with a Nebula and numerous other awards.
Life as a Writer
How did you get into writing?
Brute force. I wrote and mailed out stories until somebody bought one. It was Frederik Pohl.
When did you first realize that you have what it takes to be a writer?
When I got that check for $25.00. Look, I knew I had stories to tell; I didn't know anyone was listening.
Where do you get your ideas from?
I do a lot of reading. Sometimes that generates a story. Truth is, I never know. I was shopping at a market when I realized that asking for a demon/wizard/mad scientist's wisdom would get you the whole mind.
How do you develop your ideas into a story?
Sit down and start writing—usually with an outline.
What kind of stories do you enjoy working with?
Whatever seems to have the shape of a story.
What genres would you like to explore in the future?
I've touched most of what calls itself science fiction or fantasy. I have no interest in zombies…or westerns or romance or self help.
Do you work from an outline?
Usually yes.
How do you build your story?
Superbly. (Kidding. Its hard work and it's an art form, difficult to lay out rules for.)
For you, what makes a great hero?
For me, he's a bit of a tourist. Doesn't get motion sickness. He's not smart enough to stay out of trouble, but he's smart and lucky and agile enough to get out of it.
If one of your characters were to describe you, what would he/she say?
Spends too much of his time sitting around. Sleeps too much. Needs to look around him, to notice things. Needs to write more. And any time he gets sick, so do I.
How much time do you spend researching the setting for your stories?
I generally do the research for fun, and then that generates the story.
What settings would you like to explore in the future?|New exoplanets. Pluto (after 2015.) Earth entering an ice age. And Steven Barnes and I are exploring the time of Conan the Cimmerian.
Do you like to know the purpose of your story before you sit down to write it?
Absolutely. In fact, I prefer to know the ending. Even if I have to change it later.
Do you have any favorite lines from your stories?
Sure. These are just from memory–
"Then my willing suspension of disbelief went all to Hell."
"Dawson set his foot on the Herdmaster's Advisor's chest."
"Let's hit the Earth with a cubic mile of hot fudge sundae!"
"Think of it as evolution in action."
"And all I could see were limits."
"No bigger than a small moon is the Ftokteek computer."
Do you have a routine? A certain place to write? Do you listen to music?
I sit in front of a computer. No, no music.
How do you deal with writer's block?
Story Development
How do you go about fixing a story?
Fixing it is easier than writing it. I read it over, rewriting as I go, until there's nothing left to fix.
How do you know when to stop?
When I'm running short of things to fix, that's when I send it to an editor. That doesn't mean I've stopped; he/she usually suggests things to change. I finish a story many times.
Words of Advice
What words of advice would you give to new writers?
Have a story to tell. If you can tell it at a party, it's good to go.
The Zombie Apocalypse
So, what is YOUR plan for the zombie apocalypse?
Ignore it.
Final Thoughts
What's the best thing you've ever written?
Depends on who I'm talking to. LUCIFER'S HAMMER for mundanes, RINGWORLD for science fiction fans, THE INTEGRAL TREES for pure hard science, DESTINY'S ROAD for an English teacher, RAINBOW MARS for a laugh.
What are you working on now?
LUCIFER'S ANVILwith Jerry Pournelle, publicity for THE BOWL OF HEAVEN with Gregory Benford, SHIPSTAR with Gregory to finish a set of two, polishing THE GOLIATH STONE with Matthew Harrington, a novella about teleportation, and that heroic fantasy with Steven Barnes.

The Niven File
Born April 30, 1938, in Los Angeles, California, USA, to Waldemar Van Cott Niven and Lucy Estelle Doheny Niven (now Washington.)
Raised in Beverly Hills, California. Hawthorne Public School (Beverly Hills,) Cate School (Carpinteria.)
California Institute of Technology, September 1956 to February 1958. Flunked out after discovering a book store jammed with used science fiction magazines.
Honest employment: gas station attendant, summer 1960.
Graduated Washburn University, Kansas, June 1962: BA in Mathematics with a Minor in Psychology. Half the university was scattered to the winds by a tornado a month after I left. They later gave me a D. Litt., an honorary doctorate in Letters.
First story publication: "The Coldest Place", Worlds of If, December 1964.
Met Marilyn Joyce Wisowaty at the Nycon World Science Fiction Convention, 1967. Married September 6, 1969. No children. We reside in Chatsworth, California.
I have written fiction at every length, and speculative articles, speeches for high schools and colleges and conventions, television scripts, political action in support of the conquest of space, graphic novels, and a couple of comic book universes. I've collaborated with a wide variety of writers.
My interests:
Science fiction conventions. Role playing games, live and computer. AAAS meetings and other gatherings of people at the cutting edges of science. Comics. Filk singing. Yoga and other approaches to longevity. Hiking and racquetball.
Saving civilization and making a little money. The defense of Earth against incoming giant meteoroid impacts. Moving mankind into space by any means, but particularly by making space endeavors attractive to commercial interests.
In 1980 Jerry Pournelle talked me and Marilyn into hosting a gathering of the top minds in the space industry in an attempt to write a space program for the Reagan government, with goals, timetables, and costs. The Citizens Advisory Council for a National Space Policy met four times during the Reagan Administration, and twice since, for harrowing three day weekends. Attendees have included spacecraft designers, businessmen, NASA personnel, astronauts, lawyers. Adding science fiction writers turns out to be stunningly effective. We can translate! We can force these guys to speak English.
We've had some effect on the space program. SDI (Space Defense Initiative, or Star Wars) was drafted at our house in Tarzana. In '93 we watched the DC-X fly. It was a toy version of a single-stage ground-to-orbit spacecraft, and the Council generated it. Our design lost out to the Skunk Works' X-33, but the Council caused the revival of the X Program itself.
I grew up with dogs: Keeshonds, the breed my mother raised and shaped for sixty years. I live with a cat, and borrow dogs to hike with. I have passing acquaintance with raccoons and ferrets. Associating with nonhumans has certainly gained me insight into alien intelligences.
I've written on computers since 1978.
Hugos (or Science Fiction Achievement Awards) for "Neutron Star", 1966; RINGWORLD, 1970; "Inconstant Moon", 1971; "The Hole Man", 1974; and "The Borderland of Sol", 1975. Nebula for Best Novel: RINGWORLD, 1970. Ditmars (Best International Science Fiction, Australian) for RINGWORLD, 1972, and PROTECTOR, 1974. Japanese awards for RINGWORLD and "Inconstant Moon", both 1979. Inkpot, 1979, from the San Diego Comic Convention.

THE DRACO TAVERN, 21 ultrashort stories
FLEET OF WORLDS with Edward M. Lerner

The opening of the new Royal Shakespeare Theatre was always going to be a cause of major excitement and controversy. My association with it dates from 1989 when a school trip from York brought me to see John Caird's punk A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was unforgettable. And, since 1995, I have seen virtually all of the RSC's productions, and certainly all of its Shakespeare and the work of his contemporaries.
The last three years have been a fallow period. The Courtyard has importantly kept the flag flying. Stratford has struggled economically; all eyes have been on the new-build. There have been many early mornings over the last three years when I've jogged past it, mentally saluting the site. I've watched the tower slowly rise; I recall jogging on the spot in shock when I saw how little seemed to remain of Elisabeth Scott's original 1932 building, and I have longed (more than for anything else during this arduous process) for The Swan Theatre to re-open.
Last Saturday was 'Builders' Night', a time of thanks and celebration. Theatres in Stratford have come a long way since 1879, and yet Sir Charles Flower's founding vision of having a theatre, a library, and a gallery is palpable yet. The RSC's library is here at the Shakespeare Centre. It amalgamated with the collections of The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in 1964. The gallery now expresses itself throughout the new building. Projections of past productions emerge on the back wall of the old auditorium, plasma screens show Shakespeare inspired film installations and there is a digital sculpture which invites us to text our responses to the question 'Why Shakespeare?' which are then added to the swirling words before us.
What struck me most was the building's eclecticism, a real sense of the new evolving from the old. This choice was in part determined by Scott's theatre being a Grade II listed building and part by the budget. £113 million is certainly not too much money with which to re-model a new auditorium in the shell of the old and create new spaces around it. I was quite moved as I entered the former box office area (now a bar) and saw Gertrude Hermes's splendid mosaic fountain at one end of it, bubbling away. And upstairs in the restaurant (wonderful views, nice food, but a bit pricey) are three seats attached to the wall above our heads, ghosts of the back row of the old balcony. I have sat there 'I know not how oft' (Hamlet, 5.1.184).
I smiled as I read in the 'Welcome' information what George Bernard Shaw had said about the earlier theatre designs. Of the 1879 theatre: 'an admirable building, conceived for every possible purpose, except that of a theatre' and, when it had burnt down, 'Congratulations. It will be a tremendous advantage to have a proper modern building. There are a number of other theatres I should like to see burned down.' Incidentally, I happened to be chatting to Shaw's biographer, Sir Michael Holroyd, at our half-annual Trustees' meeting earlier on Saturday who assured me that Shaw 'liked new things.'
Jane Lapotaire read beautifully a poem by John Masefield written to celebrate the opening of the 1932 theatre and musicians played John Barnard's 'Overture Shakespearian' composed for the same occasion. Julian Glover delivered the prologue to Henry V, the project's major benefactor, Lady Susie Sainsbury revealed her natural gift for comedy, and the builders did a dance. The new house was blessed by the words of Oberon and Titania towards the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Everything in new RST is geared towards bringing Shakespeare closer to people. Artistic Director Michael Boyd said that walking on the thrust stage is like being part of a brain that argues, engages and reacts. And he spoke passionately about the function of theatre being church-like in the way it helps us to pose the big questions about life and death.
The new RST will pose those questions boldly. In doing so, I'd like to see the RSC produce as much Shakespeare as it possibly can. Its new thrust stage is powerful, but I don't yet believe in an ideal playing space. Shakespeare's playing company performed in a variety of venues. Far more importantly, our critical responses need to be founded on the quality of acting and the interpretative commitment of a production to Shakespeare's language and dramatic possibilities.

You must be wondering what do I mean by 'friend turning foe' and who is the friend and who is the foe? Well, all of you must be aware that our immune system protects us every time there is an invasion of a foreign intruder such as a bacteria or a virus. It is our immunity which identifies, kills and eventually eliminates the pathogens. But, imagine what would happen in this scenario if your own immunity turns against you and starts treating your healthy cells as foreign intruders. Well, this is how the friend immunity becomes a foe autoimmunity leading to various skin problems which are termed as autoimmunity disorders. [Read more…]

the same, yesterday, today and forever. Heb. 13:8.
The Mystery of the Jews. A fascinating video about Gods chosen people.
The answer to the question at the very end, "What is the secret of their immortality?" is: God's Faithfulness... even when His children were unfaithful. God's covenant never and hasn't changed with the Jews. He is faithful even if they are not. God's blessings on Abraham lasts forever.
.31 At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Thus saith Jehovah, The people that were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 Jehovah appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.
4 Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: again shalt thou be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy the fruit thereof.
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto Jehovah our God.
7 For thus saith Jehovah, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall they return hither.
9 They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd doth his flock.
11 For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow unto the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah.

Georgia defensive lineman Johnathan Taylor, left, was arrested Tuesday morning on a charge of felony aggravated assault and domestic battery. (Photo courtesy of 247 Sports)
Georgia defensive lineman Johnathan Taylor was arrested early Tuesday morning in Athens on a charge of felony aggravated assault and domestic battery, according to a number of published reports.
According to the Macon Telegraph, Taylor was involved in an incident with his girlfriend at a dormitory at around 3 a.m. Police said they found "visible marks" on the girlfriend's neck.
The 20-year-old Taylor was booked at 6:08 a.m. into the Clarke County Jail. His bond hearing is scheduled for later Tuesday.
This is not Taylor's first brush with the law. He was among four Georgia players arrested in March after trying to double-cash scholarship checks.
Though two of those involved --- including current Auburn player Tray Matthews --- were dismissed from the team following the check-cashing incident, Taylor entered pre-trial intervention and remained with the team after completing 40 hours of community service. He totaled nine tackles and one sack in 10 games last season, and was expected to be a major contributor this fall.
The 6-foot-5, 340-pound Taylor was a four-star recruit out of Jenkins County High School in Millen, Ga., in 2012. He redshirted that season.

In case you hadn't noticed, there's a national movement to bypass the Electoral College in favor of direct election of the president.
By Lloyd Omdahl
A compact has been drawn for states to agree to cast their electoral votes for the presidential candidate garnering the most votes in the general election regardless of party. The compact would become binding when states with a total of 270 votes sign on.
In February, Colorado became the 12th state to join the compact, bringing the total electoral count to 181 – just 90 shy of the 270 needed. Other states already committed include Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, Vermont, California, Rhode Island and New York.
Popular election of the president would continue an impulse to move the republic created by the Founders closer to a democracy.
First, the state legislatures surrendered selection of Presidential Electors to the people. Then the Seventeenth Amendment took election of U. S. Senators from the legislatures for direct election.
Hundreds of proposals to abolish or restructure the Electoral College have poured into the Congressional hoppers over the past 200 years but nothing has happened. However, when the candidate with the most votes loses in the Electoral College, new interest in the subject blooms.
It happened in the Bush-Gore election of 2000 and again in the Trump-Clinton race in 2016.
But it is ideology more than political advantage that drives interest in abolishing the College. Supporters of direct election tend to be folks who believe strongly in one-person, one vote.
On the other hand are those who see the College as benefiting small states and saving the federal system.
In the middle is a muddle caused by both sides trying to decide what a change would really do.
Nobody knows for sure.
First, how would this affect political campaigns? In 2016, the vast majority of public appearances were made in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
There is no doubt that direct election would spread campaigns more generally throughout the country. Every vote would count, no matter where the candidate got it.
Then there is the power issue.
Small states are convinced that the electoral college benefits them most because they can choose electors with fewer votes than larger states because the two senators in the formula looms large in small states.
But do the small states really have an advantage? Professor John Banzhaf did the math and concluded that voters in "states like New York and California have over two and one-half times as much chance to affect the election of the president as residents of some of the smaller states…"
Proponents of direct election recognize that direct election would liberate their conservative presidential candidates from pandering to attract urbanites or minorities, something that is getting to be more and more necessary as the number of minority voters grows. They could write off minorities and still get a good vote.
(In 2016, the mechanics of the Electoral College elected Trump even though he had fewer votes than Clinton. During the campaign, he denounced the Electoral College as a rigged system. A poll after the election found a significant rise in support for the Electoral College among Republicans. It is a temporary love.)
While more liberals than conservatives favor direct election, they are not unanimous.
William Daley, Al Gore's campaign chairman, thinks direct election is a bad idea.
He, like everyone aware of the Electoral College, has 14 opinions about the Electoral College.
Because of the confusion over ultimate impact of a change, there is not enough consensus to make the change by amending the U. S. Constitution.
It looks like the states are taking charge.

New Walking for Health group has heaps to offer
15 February 2017.
Residents are being encouraged to put their best foot forward and join a free Walking for Health group, located in the breath-taking grounds of The National Trust's historic Croome.
The first walk is all set to take place on Monday 27 February, 10.15am at Croome Park. Walks will then continue on the last Monday of every month.
The new group is open to all abilities and aims to help people lead a more active lifestyle, improve fitness and well-being, and offer the opportunity to meet new people. Walkers will also receive free parking and entry into Croome Park.
The Walking for Health group has been set up by Malvern Hills District Council, and is supported by The National Trust, as part of the National Walking for Health scheme.
Walks will be led by Rachel Vann, Physical Activity and Well Being Officer at Malvern Hills District Council and Pat Griffin, a dedicated volunteer at Croome. Rachel and Pat are both trained walk leaders, accredited with Walking for Health.
Cllr David Watkins, Portfolio Holder for Healthier Communities at Malvern Hills District Council said: "We want to support those who are looking to improve their fitness and well-being and we would encourage residents of all ages to join this new walking group. It is also a great opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds of Croome Park".
Pat Griffin, Walk Leader said: "Croome's parkland is a perfect place for a walk in the fresh air, with great company, beautiful open views, interesting features, and no roads or stiles to worry about. Come rain or shine, just pop along and try it".

In the late 1980s Jonathan Peel expressed concern about the deteriorating state of the yard and suggested that a group from the Norfolk Punt Club should consider trying to save the yard to avoid it either becoming beyond repair, or falling into the ownership of a hire boat fleet.
The history of Cox's Boatyard from 1995
I spoke to Steve Rose, who was running the yard, and said that when he was considering retirement would he please let me know, as I might be able to see a way I could help him.
In 1995 Steve told me he was not in good health and asked me if I was serious in the comment I had made. By fortunate coincidence, I knew I would be retiring as Senior Partner of a leading firm of Norwich accountants that autumn and pursued the matter. I approached various members of the Norfolk Punt Club and others and put together a Consortium of eight individuals who were prepared to invest and try and save the yard. I emphasised that I was not confident that the yard could be saved and they must be prepared to lose all their money. I refused to allow anyone who would find this a hardship to join the Consortium. We further agreed that the Consortium members should be charged by the yard on exactly the same commercial terms as every other customer.
I did the due diligence work with a Norwich solicitor pro bona. It was clear that Cox's Boatyard Limited was insolvent. It did, however, have a corporate lease from the Cox family and we negotiated a fresh, longer lease prior to taking over the company and running the yard for £1.
When we took over the yard, there was almost no work for the employees and the moorings were half full. There was very little quay heading, the wood above the bank walkways was rotten and dangerous, and the banks were uneven with many holes. The yard generally was a health and safety hazard and we were faced with many potential difficulties.
I was joined by Mike Evans and Tom Harmer as Directors and we formed a good team as Mike had a lot of marketing experience and Tom is an excellent boat builder and engineer. We recruited Eric Bishop as Manager from R. Moore & Sons of Wroxham, and set about restoring the yard. We developed a pile driver on a raft and that first winter we all spent many hours quay heading part of the yard. The following winter we did the same and also worked on the road and car park.
We were always conscious that the buildings were deteriorating and those at the entrance to the yard were an embarrassment. However, because we held the yard on a lease rather than as a freehold we considered that the reconstruction of the infrastructure should be the responsibility of the landlord – the Cox family. We asked the Cox Trustees to join with us in remodelling the yard and initially rebuilding the disgraceful toilets, but they were not prepared to do so. We decided that if we were to inject significant funds from retained profits into the infrastructure, then long term the Cox family rather than Cox's Boatyard Limited would benefit. In 2004 we therefore negotiated with the Cox Trustees the purchase of the freehold of the yard with a 21-year loan from them.
Once we held the freehold, we developed the new toilet block. We approached North Norfolk District Council and the Broads Authority to join with us in the development, provided they would contribute to running costs so that the toilets could be open to the public, but they were not willing to contribute. Accordingly, we built the toilet block from retained profits and it is only available to berth-holders.
The next stage is to modernise the buildings so that they are suitable for a boatyard in the 21st century. We have had long consultations with the Broads Authority planners and our advisers, and the Broads Authority Planning Committee approved our plans in June 2011.

Across the Middle East, Arab politicians, academics and journalists have become increasingly outspoken about their concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program.
They have publicly voiced their opposition to actions and comments by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, even comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
In October 2005, recently elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad quoted Ayatollah Khomeini and declared, "As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."

This is a comprehensive bike tour of eight towns in central Massachusetts, made to give people a way to enjoy the outdoors while honoring the region's history, and educating themselves about the history of the towns of Barre, Princeton, Sterling, Oakham, Holden, Rutland, Paxton, and West Boylston. With over forty-five graveyards in total and three maps with ten routes to choose from, there is something for everybody. If you want to just visit the graveyards of famous figures and older, more historical graves, then the "Recommended Historical Graveyard Tour" is the route for you. For a long, one hundred ten mile bike ride comprising all forty-five graveyards, the "Full One Hundred Ten Mile Graveyard Tour" will provide you with a full route. Finally, for individual routes of each town, the "Graveyard Tour for Individual Towns" allows visitors to select their town of choice and visit the graveyards within that town's limits.
Recommended Historical Graveyard Tour
This is the historical cemetery tour of the Wachusett towns, which covers some of the more historically significant graveyards throughout the Wachusett towns, while also passing a few others along the way that you can feel free to stop at and enjoy. This route is about 70 miles long and will take around 8 hours to complete, but please allow for additional time to explore the gravesites.
In order to find step-by-step directions for each map, please click on the map, find the route you would like directions for, click the icon with 3 vertical stacked dots, and choose step-by-step directions.
Full One Hundred Ten Mile Graveyard Tour
The full cemetery tour of the Wachusett Towns covers 45 graveyards of different sizes and shapes, some with important historical figures, and some with unmarked graves. It spans one hundred ten miles, and a full trip is estimated to take around 9.5 hours, but please allow for additional time to explore the gravesites.
Graveyard Tour for Individual Towns
This map includes a shorter bike tour map that covers each town that the full bike tour covers (Barre, Princeton, Sterling, Oakham, Holden, Rutland, Paxton, and West Boylston) These tours range from a total of 1 mile, which will take around 6 minutes, to a total of 34 miles in around 3 hours (Holden and Barre Respectively) with additional time needed to explore the gravesites. This tour was designed for people who want to see a little bit more of each town individually.
Historical Figures
Helen Walker
Oak Hill Cemetery, Sterling, MA, Section A, Lot 40.
Born 1920 in Worcester, MA, actress Helen Walker began her acting career on Broadway, with her 1942 performance in "Jason" earning her a spot on the silver screen. Her film career began the same year with her role in Lucky Jordan. Her other notable roles were in films such as The Man in Half Moon Street, Brewster's Millions, and Murder, He Says. After a car accident where she killed a WWII veteran, her career deteriorated, and she began to take on roles in grittier crime dramas such as Nightmare Alley, Call Northside 777, and Impact. Her acting career ended with her final television appearance in 1960, and in 1968 she succumbed to cancer at the age of 47. She is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Sterling, MA: Section A, Lot 40.
Robert Bailey Thomas
Legg Cemetery, Sterling, Massachusetts, Memorial ID 9023492
Robert B. Thomas, born 1766, founded The Old Farmer's Almanac in 1792. It has since become the longest-running publication in the United States and is still in print today. He was the longtime editor of the Almanac, working on it even up to his death in 1846.
Ward Nicholas Boylston
Boylston Burial Ground, Princeton, Massachusetts, Memorial ID 105783028
Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1747 to a life of refinement and wealth due to his father Benjamin Hallowell's role as commissioner of customs for King George III. In 1776 Ward Nicholas fled the country with his parents, as a family Loyal to the crown. He was born Ward Hallowell but changed his name to Boylston, his mother's family, in order to receive large estates after the death of his Uncle. He returned to Boston in 1800 to strengthen his trade network. He donated large sums to Harvard University, gave $1000 to the town of Princeton for deacons of the church and for loans to fund industry. The philanthropist died in 1828 while living in the Gill mansion House in Princeton.
Edward Savage
West Cemetery, Princeton, Massachusetts, Memorial ID 7762152
Born in Princeton, Massachusetts in 1761, Edward Savage was by trade a goldsmith and an engraver, however, he soon taught himself how to paint, and began traveling all over the world exhibiting his art. He was the proprietor of what would become the New England Museum in Boston, as well as other early art galleries in New York and Philadelphia. The most famous of his work is his painting The Washington Family, depicting George Washington and his family at Mount Vernon. He died in 1817 and is now Buried in West Cemetery in his hometown of Princeton.
Quork Walker
Family Cemetery off Gilbert Road, Barre, Massachusetts
In 1781, Quork Walker escaped from Nathaniel Jennison. Upon his recapture, he was severely beaten. Walker filed an assault and battery suit against Jennison. Over a series of three court cases, Walker was pronounced "a Freeman and not the proper Negro slave" of Jennison, and the Massachusetts Supreme Court decided that the 1780 state constitution provided rights that were not compatible with slavery, and thus the state would not support or defend the ownership of slaves. Walker was born in 1753, but his death date is unknown.
Jacob Riis
Riverside Cemetery, Barre, Massachusetts, Memorial ID 872
Jacob Riis was born in Denmark in 1849 and emigrated to the United States in 1870. He became a police reporter and was a skilled photographer. In 1890 his book How the Other Half Lives, Riis showed the world the deplorable living conditions of New York's tenement housing, getting the attention of Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt, who worked to improve the conditions of the immigrants living there. Riis went on to publish other social reform books until his retirement to a small farm in Barre where he passed away in 1914.
Richard J. Herrick
Rutland Rural Cemetery, Rutland, Massachusetts, Memorial ID 51386928
Born in Worcester in 1931 Richard J. Herrick was the world's first successful organ transplant recipient. He had chronic nephritis, an inflammation of the nephrons in his kidneys that would have proved fatal if not treated. His identical brother Ronald Lee Herrick gave up one of his kidneys to save his brother's life. Dr. Joseph Murray on December 23, 1954, completed the surgery, and as the men were identical twins they thought that the chance of rejection would be low enough to warrant the attempt. In 1990 Dr. Murray won the Nobel Prize in medicine for his accomplishments, and Richard married, had two children and died eight years later due to unrelated kidney complications in 1963.
Putnam Family
Putnam Farm Cemetery, Rutland, Massachusetts
Town records indicate that six members of the Putnam Family are buried in this rural cemetery in Rutland: Captain Archelaus Putnam [1809], his wife Sarah (Putnam) Putnam [1824], their son Andrew Putnam [1846], and his wife Tamar (King) (Carriel) Putnam [1839], and their two sons Salmon [1800] and Willard [1818]. There are other gravestones, but most are illegible.
This page and tour were created by Boy Scout Kurt Maiser of Troop 182 Holden as his Eagle Project. Many thanks to those who have helped make this a reality.


text: So in a fit of rage, my phone somehow blocked my girlfriend when I was ending the call. I can call and text her but she can't do the same. I've tried doing in the settings of the contact list, but that has no effect. I'm assuming I blocked her through Google somehow so my question is how do I fix this? Also the phone is rooted and running on liquid smooth ROM.
