Chapter 123 – Crazy Attack
In this resourceful world, there were countless treasures, including those that could enhance the cultivation of Battle Qi, such as Dan . Taking the Snow Spirit Dan for an example, it could expedite the inhaling process of Battle Qi, and was exclusively owned by the Xue Family . One of the few treasures that could elevate a cultivator's state from the first level to the third level within days, would be the Dragon Crystal . Not every delivery of the dragon would be accompanied by the appearance of such a treasure . In fact, it was very rarely that this occurred .
Inside the Dragon Crystal existed an ocean of extremely pure energy, with the help of which the baby dragon could directly become a fifth-grade demonic beast . If the baby dragon ate it, it would most likely become a saint-grade beast, and well surpass its parents!
Taking all these factors into account, Shisan finally came to the conclusion that his master was refining the Dragon Crystal right now! He was so excited to witness Qinghan being empowered by the energy of this treasure, which was originally obtained by Little Black .
Why did Shisan have such expectations for Qinghan? It was simple, because his master had a holy-grade battle beast, with which he believed Qinghan could exhibit more power once they were integrated .
At the current stage, however, Qinghan was much weaker than Shisan and Shiqi . However, once his potential was fully unlocked, he would most likely become a comparable figure with their founder – Ye Huang . Even their ancestor, Ye Ruoshui, could, one day, be overshadowed by Qinghan! Shisan had envisaged the scene of his his master becoming a Saint-Realm cultivator, and slaughtering all the demons and barbarians by himself! Touched by the grandiose of this image, Shisan's heart was stirred up with mixed feelings .
Thinking of the prosperous future ahead, Shisan ran in a cheerful mood . While at the same time, Shiqi's mood was also affected by Shisan, as he ran happily in the front .
Now, they had nearly arrived at the mingled battlefield, so they raised their vigilance accordingly . Once they encountered any demons or barbarians, they would immediately run away with Shisan and Shiqi covering in the rear . As Prince-Realm cultivators, they were confident in protecting their young lord and lady in any condition .
At the foot of the Breaking Blade Summit, Sainan went through a bout of vexation, for she could no longer manage to be as composed as before .
It had been three days! Within these days, she had arranged a dozen of attacks, and none of them had succeeded .
Since the first days' bruising failure, she had actually altered her strategy, and decided to forcefully break into the enemy's defensive formation, regardless of how many casualties it might inflict . Under Sainan's new order, the common elites and advanced Prince-Realm cultivators were put together, to launch attacks towards the barbarians in shifts . They did this task almost around the clock, in an effort to drain out the enemies' Barbarian Force .
It was the best and only solution, in Sainan's opinion, to break the barbarians' iron-like defensive line . They wouldn't be able to hurt any of them until their Barbarian Force was depleted in the process . Otherwise, the pillar-like barbarians would continue to emit those yellowish armors, that were shielding them from all possible attacks . And if that were to be the case, it would be a super protracted war!
Therefore, the Mars Prefecture Legion had implemented the so called "Bloody Plan", in which they were required to battle continuously, at any risk, until the barbarians had completely used up their Barbarian Force .
Much to their disillusion, the barbarians stood there as steady as they were after so many rounds of attacks, as though they were insurmountable mountains standing in their way to a grand slaughter . Now, Sainan was driven mad, for her expression told everything – irritated as well as embarrassed .
Within three days, hundreds of members were sacrificed, yet the demons and barbarians only lost a handful . Furthermore, among the human casualties, most of them were from Dragon City . How could Sainan remain in a calm mood, after seeing such disappointed outcomes?
- Swoosh! -
Suddenly, a speeding figure brought Sainan's mind back to reality . By taking in some fresh air, she twisted the muscles in her face and adjusted her expression to a more amicable manner .
The figure was Hua Cao . In a travel-stained outlook, he directly rushed to Sainan, and spoke in an urgent tone, "Reports said that on the left side there is a great number of demons and barbarians running in this direction . It's estimated, within five days or so, this place will be filled with enemies! We should retreat within three days! Three days later, whether we win the battle or not, we have to leave!"
The news struck Sainan as a blow of lightning . Her faint smile, that she had forced so hard to pretend, disappeared, and a surly face emerged once again . Although the arrival of more reinforcements from the enemy side was within her predictions, she had never thought that they would come so quickly, and in such a organized way!
"Wait… if my memory serves me right, we have already killed the scouts from the enemy side . How did they receive the news so quickly? It seems, our trace has been leaked as soon as we left the contemporary camp…" Sainan frowned with a perplexed expression .
Finally, she shook her head helplessly, and yelled, "Three days? We'll do our utmost . May the ancestors of the Mars Prefecture bless us!"
Attack! Attack!
A venturous attack that could require many lives as sacrifice!
That very night, Sainan assembled the head of each group, and presided an emergency meeting . When her underlings learned that more reinforcements would come to help the enemies out, they decided to annihilate them all before the reinforcements came .
On the top of the mountain the most excellent members of the other two races were gathered, and the Mars Prefecture Legion was determined to break their alliance, and slaughter their most excellent forces once and for all . Otherwise, the humans would stand no chance to win in the final Prefecture War .
No matter what happened to them, they were resolute to fight a path through the barbarian's defensive formation, even if they had to trample upon the corpses of their own fellowmen .
The low, and toneless beats made by the battle drums disturbed the tranquility of this mountain . The morning sun was yet to come out fully, and Ghost Island was still covered by a thick fog, through which one could see the perpendicular cliffs of the Breaking Blade Summit, standing like a ferocious beast, revealing its sharp "teeth"…
In a red battle robe, Sainan presented her valiant and heroic bearing by pointing the tip of her sword towards the mountaintop . After emphatically shouting, numerous members followed her into the fog, as they charged along the zigzag path that led up to the top of the mountain .
Meanwhile, lines of members stood at the foot of the mountain, fully armed, ready to replace the people in the frontline once they were killed . One after another, they sprayed their warm blood in battle, hoping to contribute their due part .
"Young lord, please take care of my elder parents back home!"
"Brothers, remember to burn spirit money for me after I die . I hear that the underworld is also suffering from currency inflation…"
"Do me a favor, when you go back home, please tell my second sister-in-law, I've secretly been in love with her for many years… Oh, tell her, to close the window whenever she's taking a bath…"
"Hey, brother Six, please pay off my debt I owed to Fangfang, you know, the girl in the Beautiful Spring Brothel… Oh, don't forget to tell her, never ever let her guests owe her money, some bastards won't be as kind as I am!"

Over the last six weeks, we teamed up with Lowe's Home Improvement and Sta-Green to put some of their products to the test, along with putting our results up against those of our good friend, Chelsea from TwoTwentyOne. We'll start off by taking a look at our lawn and later on we'll show you how our container gardens produced!
We've always taken pride in taking care of our yard, but this year, as we were trying new products, we wanted to really see the impact that they'd have, so we treated half of our lawn with Sta-Green Weed and Feed, while leaving the other half untreated! Here's a peek at our attempt at keeping our lawn looking good all summer long!
Using our irrigation system, we watered the lawn 3-4 times per week.
Within days, we began seeing the weeds within the treated lawn starting to die off.
About two weeks in is when I really noticed a significant color difference between the two different halves. When I first saw the "line" down the middle of the lawn, I thought it was an afternoon shadow. But about an hour later, I realized the line hadn't moved, there was just that much of a color difference between both sides of the lawn!
The side of the lawn that we treated with the Sta-Green Weed & Feed had become so lush and full!
While the untreated side looked to be full of dandelions and struggling.
In the end it was pretty apparent that the treated side was growing at a much quicker pace and with a much healthier appearance.
Now let's take a look at how well the Sta-Green Potting Mix and All-Purpose Plant Food performed in our container gardens! In case you've forgot here's a look at how we began our container gardens!
We've tried for a few years to grow strawberries in our side garden, but just never had any luck producing much fruit. Well, this year, I can proudly say, that we successfully grew some mighty tasty strawberries!
We set up a little drip irrigation system to water the container gardens every other day and it looks as though the flowers were happy with that, as they rewarded us with some really pretty blossoms!
The tomato plants are producing better than we ever could have hoped for!
All in all, I'd say for our first attempts at container gardening, we didn't do too shabby!
After seeing how well the lawn and our container gardens progressed, I think it would be safe to say that we'll be adding Sta-Green to our list of brands that we count on every season!
Now if I can just get the other half of the lawn to match the treated side, my neighbors might stop giving me funny looks as they walk by!

The Golden Ticket inviting the Year 6's to the Party/Event needs to be inserted into your gift: tucked into the front of a Bible or into the packaging for a bar of chocolate, or attached to a packet of sweets, or however you want to present it. Try and make it fun!
The Ticket is the heart of this project and so to ensure it looks as appealing as possible to the young people, I would highly recommend using Gold paper for your ticket. We have a supply at the Diocesan Office in Northampton that you can use or you can buy printable golden paper – check on Ebay or your local stationers. Or it can be sourced from Amazon (at a price…).
Get in touch with me email@example.com to discuss how we can help you with this.
The ticket template can be customised with your own details; church, school names, venue, date and type of party/event, before printing on Golden paper, or if you give us the details we can do that for you.
Download it hereGolden Ticket 3 to A4 sample front and back updated 2018 data protection printable
The reverse of the Ticket has a very simple form, but with vital permissions, information and contact details on it, to keep you and your young people safe, plus giving you information and contacts going forward.
The sample ticket template shows some of the key information needed: emergency contact and medical information, space for a permission signature and contact details, including email address. The small print section about all leaders being DBS checked and Diocesan Safeguarding policies being followed is good practice to share. There is also consent requested for storing data, which is required under law from May 2018. An opt out clause is no longer enough, specific consent is required to keep personal information.
Make sure you remind the young people that the event is by ticket only – so they need to keep hold of their ticket and bring it to the event, with the reverse filled out.
Some churches have chosen to give out two tickets to each person, one when they visit the school and do the research, to be filled out and collected in by the school (if they are willing) and then you have contact details and an idea of who might be coming and you can follow up with reminders over the summer. And one more on the Leavers' Service day, which they bring with them.

"One for the Road: The Lost Art of the Drunken Drive"
It was a time in this nation too sweet to recollect. A time when Playboy was still a titty-magazine and Penthouse wasn't even in existence. A time when busts of Cortez adorned every upscale, suburban living room. A time when local governments issued every new homeowner a riding mower and case of Schlitz on the day the closing fee was paid on the house. A time when "one for the road" was polite etiquette.
Back when cars were made of solid steel and bumpers could take a 25-mph collision, drunk driving wasn't the offense it is today. When the police found you driving drunk, they gave you a ride home! Or if they found you passed out on the side of the road, they would remove your keys from the ignition and PUT THEM ON THE ROOF OF YOUR CAR. The logic was sound: by the time you were coherent enough to find your keys, you were sober enough to drive home. "Sober enough" - you just don't hear that any more. Times sure have changed. No more casual drinking. No more endearing drunks. "One for the road" has become cause for suit, and drunk driving is the pet taboo for every small town PTA. And no one is EVER "sober enough" to drive. Let's say you've been drinking hard in your living room, alone, for the last six nights. Some new faces would do you good, some strangers to look at, some unfamiliar humanity to disgust you, remind you of your own superiority. But how're you going to get there, drink your fill, and successfully drive home? Take these tips from a man with the experience. Plenty of it, baby.
Move to the city. It's the simplest solution to your drunk driving problems. DWI checkpoints and idle policemen inhabit the suburbs. City cops have plenty else to do besides worry about some drunk crawling 10 blocks across town to go home. Of course, if you go tearing down Broadway at 4:00 in the morning, you're fucked. But, then, you're also stupid.
Face it - the suburbs breed angry, arrogant police. Town cops were teenage losers, kids too stupid and insecure to break out of the hometown. Suburban cops will put a flashlight in your face while you're kissing your date goodnight. Suburban cops will pull you over because a turn signal bulb is broken. Suburban cops will proudly bust your ass for DWI. It gets the Sheriff re-elected and gets their pathetic hides closer to that promotion. City cops, though, they've got bigger problems. If you live in a city, then drink and drive home in the city. Keep it calm and you'll make it home to drink more.
Aside from checkpoints, how do drunk drivers get caught? By hitting something. Hitting someone. Driving too fast. Or driving erratically. Yes, driving erratically, swerving down residential roads, weaving in and out of traffic, wobbling down the highway. But this can be prevented, no matter how drunk you get. As long as you know how to drive your car. It doesn't really matter what you're driving. Each car has its quirks and its subtle tricks for smooth driving. For example: a 1989 Volkswagen Fox has a push-switch headlight control on the left of the dash, a finger's distance away from the steering wheel. On straight roads, you put 2 fingers of your left hand along the "On" portion of the switch and use this makeshift anchor to keep the wheel straight.
Similarly, a 1984 Nissan Sentra has a ledge along the driver's side window which is the perfect place to secure your elbow, locking your arm in place and keeping the wheel straight.
But there's more. You need to shift without stalling. You need to drive in the rain without slipping. You need to keep your windshield defrosted at all times. You need to drive well consistently, drunk and sober. Period.
Absolutely never. Let them take a fucking cab. Why? Because people are assholes. And drunk people are just drunk assholes. They will jump around in the car. They will yell out the window and harass girls, they will drink while you drive, like it or not. Drunk passengers attract cops like evangelists attract Southerners. Flies to shit, baby. Being a nice guy is a one-way ticket to DWI, complete with a night in jail, an expensive lawyer, and insurance surcharges so far up your asshole you'll need a second mortgage to get them out. Use your brain, fuck the other guy. That's why the government gave us public transit. Make them use it.
Imagine: a cop pulls someone over 15 minutes after last call and he's frantically chewing down a pack of Wrigley's. The cop should have the right to throw Miranda down the sewer and haul that person into jail just for being so stupid.
The same thing with cigarettes: If you smoke, then smoke. But don't light up as soon as you're being pulled over. It's just too obvious, eh? Tic Tacs. Breath Mints. Whatever. Shove a handful in your mouth as soon as you start the car. If you get pulled over, swallow them or chew them up. Don't spit them out. Don't scramble for more. Just take it easy, pal. Nice 'n' Easy.
Because you stink. Like a bar. Fortunately, bars smell like smoke, which isn't against the law. With the mints mentioned previously and an open window, you're cooking with gas and making it home.
Sure, it seemed like a good idea at the time: let's cut through that neighborhood, less cops around. But it's not a good idea. It's a stupid idea, if you think about it. More cars drive the main roads at 3:00 a.m. than drive the back roads. If there's more cars, and you're following these tips, then someone else is bound to look far more drunk than you. And that person will get pulled over and arrested.
In most towns, it looks suspicious to drive a backroad when a perfectly fine 2-laner is available. That's why towns build roads - for people to drive on. If you're not driving on it, then you're avoiding it. And if you're avoiding it, then you're either drunk or you've got a body in the trunk. Either way, you're fucked.
As long as you play the odds, you're fine. Odds are that someone is worse off than you. Someone always is. Let them get fucked. They'd do it to you.

Hundreds in Hispanic community dialogue with PM on socio-economic issues
From the press unit in the Office of the Prime Minister
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – Close to 500 individuals from the Hispanic community residing in various communities throughout St. Kitts attended a public forum hosted by the Team Unity-led government March 21 at the Newtown Community Centre in East Basseterre.
People of all walks of life – the elderly, youth, sportsmen and women – packed the halls of the Newtown Community Centre to meet and greet Prime Minister the Honourable Dr. Timothy Harris and his team, and to share their concerns and outline how they can further participate in the development and progressive agenda of the federation.
Prime Minister Harris was supported at Thursday's meeting by his Cabinet colleagues, including Deputy Prime Minister the Hon. Shawn Richards, Parliamentary Representative for Constituency One the Hon. Ian Patches Liburd, Minister of Human Settlement et al. the Hon.Eugene Hamilton, Attorney General the Hon. Vincent Byron and Minister of State within the Ministry of Health et al. the Honourable Wendy Phipps.
Also present were the Honourable Sen. Akilah Byron-Nisbett, Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister Andrew Skerritt and Ambassador Jonel Powell.
Leaders of the Latin community, including Heriberto Torres, Gilberto Pie and Alexander Mitrell, flanked Prime Minister Harris at the head table.
The prime minister, who was there at the invitation of the Latin community, presented his entire opening remarks in Spanish, connecting his listening audience. This gesture was noticeably welcomed by those in attendance who showed their appreciation with a resounding round of applause.
In his presentation, Prime Minister Harris said it is because of the special relationship shared between St. Kitts and Nevis and Hispanic countries, particularly the Dominican Republic, why public forums such as that which was held on Thursday evening are important. According to the prime minister, this special relationship dates back to the days of the sugar industry.
"We are happy on this occasion to welcome you to our country, remembering with fondness and gratitude that one time long ago, our people too visited your country for improved opportunities," Harris said. "We are happy now to be able to reciprocate and we want you to feel welcomed and safe in our country."
Many of those in attendance seized the opportunity to air their views and concerns directly to the prime minister and his Cabinet colleagues. Some of these issues include housing, social safety nets, citizenship, residency, social security, discrimination and employment.
Others praised the work of Prime Minister Harris and the Team Unity administration and pledged to work hand in hand with the government in the interest of nation building.
The Dominican Sports and Cultural Club of St. Kitts and Nevis presented Richards and Harris with a plaque each of appreciation for their support to the Dominican community.

I know the theoretical answer, and that most people who have it wouldn't do without it... I'm considering the S9500 (UK) vs the 5600 and 7000, as well as the Panny FZ30. I've never had a camera with I.S. but I'm not sure how big an issue it is. I''m not going to be carrying a tripod around with me everywhere, so I guess I'm wondering how prone the Finepix cameras are to camera shake..

Any slight shaking of hand will very much effect the image taken. Consider this, the camera is very sensitive because of high resolution (9 MP). But practice practice and you will get use to this heavy camera.

The issue of IS has become an almost'political' issue.
Some facts that are indisputable:
When photogs write about IS, ( Pro or Con ),they rarely consider the type of subject ( moving or stationary ).
They also rarely discuss if IS creates a longer shutterlag.
Whatever you decide remember at a Prosumer's tele end the f-stops are smaller and there is less light available for the sensor.With less light, at the tele end, noise levels become a real issue for cameras with or without IS.
For Prosumers in the price range of the S9000 and FZ30, the S9000 leaves the others in the dust regarding noise ( see reputable reviews ).
These are my opinions, and please note that I have an S9000.
I hope you find this helpful.

"When the Finepix S9000 is set to the Anti-Blur mode, the camera will select a faster shutter speed to reduce camera shake and moving subject blur. This mode will assist you in obtaining sharper images. Make sure that the focus setting is on single autofocus. You can also attempt to reset the camera in the set up to try to resolve any bugs that the camera may have."

Stabilization will give you better images of still subjects but high ISO is superior for action in available light. I personally have a preference for the FZ30 over the S9000/9500, but I don't shoot a lot of action in limited light. If I regularly photographed indoor sports, concerts etc I would go for the Fuji if I didn't want to mess with raw.
The S9000/9500 has a very noisy sensor. Fuji is evidently putting good in-camera noise reduction in the camera. But if you shoot raw where the camera doesn't process the noise, images are very noisy. Dpreview suggests you might want to apply noise reduction to even ISO 80 shots taken in raw with the S9000.
The Fuji raw converter applies their noise reduction to images. But it isn't a very practical converter. The new beta for CS2 camera raw lets you process Fuji raw images in Photoshop. Someone pointed out on another thread that the nature of the Fuji noise is such that the Noise Ninja or Neat Image plug-ins would have problems with it. I imported a JPG converted from raw into Photoshop and found that to be true. I would think it would have the same problems processing in raw but I don't know.
Raw isn't a very practical format in the S9000 in any case because of the cycle times. My old D7i had about the same raw cycle times as the S9000 and I found myself missing so many shots that I didn't use it very much even though I really like raw. The FZ30 cycles raw shots fairly quickly and there is no buffer to fill with the Venus engine. One of my reasons for preferring the FZ30 over the S9000 would be that it is one of the few non-DSLR cameras that make raw practical for most use.
The S9000/9500 doesn't have the high ISO with good noise that the F10/11 does. Even so it has better high ISO noise if you extract as JPG and don't want to mess with raw and noise reduction. I would prefer to shoot raw with the FZ30 and apply my own noise reduction.
Stabilization on the FZ30 is superior to high ISO on the S9000 for handheld shots at full zoom of non-moving targets. The same shot you can take at ISO 100 with stabilization would require ISO 800 on the Fuji. The S9000 isn't too good at ISO 800.

Apart from many other great features, I bought the S9500 for it's great focal range.
28mm to 300mm. Most other superzoom cameras of this type start at only 35mm.
I liked that it used AA batteries. Cheap, I have lots of spares.
Great low light capability. A stabilized/low speed lens won't do with kids moving around
the house.

DPreview's comments about noise and the FZ30:
"Examination of ISO 80 RAW files shows the Panasonic chip to be inherently fairly noisy, which may explain the slight lack of 'crispness' seen in FZ30 images, due to noise reduction blurring detail. ISO 200 and 400 are noisy, and the noise reduction has a visible detrimental effect on images viewed at 100%, especially at ISO 400, which is hardly usable for anything except small prints. Note that noise - especially chroma noise (colored blotches in darker areas) gets progressively worse as light levels drop and shutter speeds increase. "
When you are at the tele end with a small aperture IS is not the important issue.
Hope you research your camera purchase successfully.

At wide angle, I.S. will not make too much of an impact, you can hold a camera steady and take blur free shot down to around 1/20s, anything lower than that, you would need I.S. or up the iso.
At telephoto end, if you do not have a tripod, a chair or any other means to support yourself, I.S. is a must. However, I.S. can only compensate for around 2-fstop, so please keep that in mind as it does not work miracles either.
If you don't like to lug around a tripod, I would choose the Panasonic FZ30 over the S9500, the FZ30 has a faster lens, especially at the telephoto end.
As others have mentioned, the S9500 is noisy, but iso800 is still better than iso400 from the FZ30, however, iso1600 is not very usable. So at wide angle, the S9500 still have a 1-stop advantage over the FZ30, but at the telephoto end, they are about even. But definitely the edge goes to FZ30 because it has I.S. lens as well.
If you do not want to shell out $500, do check out the S5600 for $200 less. I've done extensive tests on this camera and it's in my opinion the best bang for the buck ultrazoom out there:
You can check out some samples (most available in full-res) from my test gallery and see if the quality is good enough for you:

Personally, I think this debate over which camera has the least or the most amount of noise has been beaten to death. Everyone seems to be arguing over something that is to so easily correctable in either camera that it is pointless to keep talking about it. If you want image stabilization, if that is critical to your shooting style, then get a camera that has it. In my opinion, Fuji still has a credibility problem with the public and many of the reviewers. I recently saw a CNet video review online of the 9000. The reviewer said that it was a pretty good camera but that the autofocus was nearly deafening. Then she sort of pushed the camera off as some sort of an afterthought. I think if anyone considers the features of any camera and then purchases one that has the features that they want, then they will be able to get the kind of pictures they are looking for. The brand or the model really doesn't matter. IN MY OPINION.

Price isn't really the issue, more future-proofing, I want something I can learn with and will last 3-4 years, at which time I'm hoping that the DSLR market will have a few more competitors and the obvious advancements..
Still a bit stuck in this one, I usually do quite a bit of shooting at tennis events, which are generally natural light, but limited inside a stadium, I'll do a few interior family shots, but the majority will be outside..
I understand the high ISO v IS argument, what I was thinking is that the noise on the FZ30 may be a price worth paying for IS, given it can more easily be solved afterwards (can remove noise, can't re-take picture if it's slightly blurred)..
I guess your argument for the 5200 over the 9500 is price? There's nothing the older one has the newer one doesn't?
Thanks for your help

I feel a little silly even posting this as a recipe because it's really not a recipe at all. It was really me putting things together. BUT so many of you have asked for it, and it tasted so good, I figured why not.
- Rotisserie chicken: I bought one whole chicken & one of the boxes of 2 rotisserie chicken breasts from the grocery store. Pro tip: when you bring a rotisserie chicken home from the grocery store, take the time to remove all the meat and shred it as soon as you get home. It is so much easier to do when the meat is warm. Your dogs will think you are really special while you are doing it too. It is hard not to eat all the meat immediately, but worth it lol. You could use any kind of meat – ground beef, shredded beef, chicken from an instant pot or crock pot.
- Tortillas: whatever kind you like. Siete foods are great for a gluten free option, I used these smaller "low carb" tortillas from La Tortilla Factory. They aren't really all that low carb, but I like them because they are soft, the right size & high in fiber. Oh, and my grocery store has them, so they are also convenient – which is kind of the theme of this recipe haha.
- Beans: any kind. I did one pan of refried black beans and one pan with whole black beans. I think the texture of the refried black beans was better, but that's just me.
- Enchilada sauce: I just bought one with the least amount of ingredients, one red & one green.
- Cheese: any kind will work. No cheese will also work. Low fat or non fat cheese does NOT melt well.
Plated enchiladas just don't look that pretty.
- Preheat oven to 350
- Spray non stick into a 13 x 9 pan
- Add some beans & some chicken to a tortilla and roll it up. Place seam side down in the pan. I like a lot of chicken in my enchiladas so that they are high in protein.
- I put 8 tortillas in each pan.
- Pour the entire can of enchilada sauce over the pan of enchiladas.
- Bake the pan of enchiladas in the oven for 10 minutes, no foil covering or anything like that needed.
- Add cheese and bake 10 more minutes.
- Eat!
That's it. So easy it's silly. But here we are. See you tomorrow!

The main problem, Hossenfelder explains, is that any multiverse theory is "underdetermined" and "doesn't contain enough information to make calculations".
With a science paper published after his death, Stephen Hawking has revived debate on a deeply divisive question for cosmologists: Is our Universe just one of many in an infinite, ever-expanding "multiverse"? According to one school of thought, the cosmos started expanding exponentially after the Big Bang. In most parts, this expansion or "inflation" continues eternally, except for a few pockets where it stops. These pockets are where universes like ours are formed — multitudes of them that are often likened to "bubbles" in an ever-expanding ocean dubbed the multiverse. Many scientists don't like the idea, including Hawking, who said in an interview last year: "I have never been a fan of the multiverse."
If we do live in an ever-inflating multiverse, it would mean the laws of physics and chemistry can differ from one universe to another, a concept that scientists struggle to accept. In his last contribution to cosmology, Hawking — with co-author Thomas Hertog from the KU Leuven university in Belgium — does not dismiss the multiverse concept, but proposes dramatically scaling it down. "We are not down to a single, unique universe," the University of Cambridge quoted Hawking as saying of the paper submitted before his death on March 14 and published this week in the Journal of High Energy Physics. However, "our findings imply a significant reduction of the multiverse, to a much smaller range of possible universes."
The new hypothesis relies on a branch of theoretical physics known as string theory, and concludes that the cosmos is "clearly finite", Hertog told AFP, though still composed of numerous universes. "It is a debate that touches on the very foundations of cosmology," Hertog said. "The underlying question is whether we can achieve a deeper understanding of where the laws of nature come from, and whether they are unique." Not everyone likes the new theory. "The idea that we live in a 'multiverse' is a fringe idea in a small part of a subfield of the physics community," said theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder of the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies. "Nobody who does serious science works with the multiverse because it's utterly useless," she told AFP.
The main problem, Hossenfelder explains, is that any multiverse theory is "underdetermined" and "doesn't contain enough information to make calculations". For detractors, a multiverse theory complicates our understanding of our own Universe. But it has its defenders too. For astrophysicist Aurelien Barrau of Laboratory of Subatomic Physics and Cosmology in Paris, "the concept makes sense." "It is remarkable that today numerous types of universe can be envisaged. Several theories, reliable for some and speculative for others, lead to the prediction of a multiverse," he said. For Hertog, the new theory is a step in the right direction.
It "makes the cosmology based on our new theory a lot more predictive, a lot… stronger as a scientific theory and therefore ultimately, we hope, testable", he explains on the UK Leuven website. Hossenfelder disagrees. She described the new theory as just another "variant" of eternal inflation, "with some additional assumptions on top of it."

Fosun launches takeover offer for ROC. Horizon drops out of the game
Australia's independent oil company ROC has withdrawn from a merger agreement reached in April with Horizon Oil, after receiving a better offer from Fosun.
China's Fosun has offered AUD 0.69 per ROC Share valuating the target company at approximately A$474 million. The offer represents a 52% premium to the closing price of ROC shares on 23 April 2014 which was the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Horizon merger proposal.
The ROC directors unanimously recommend that ROC shareholders accept the Fosun Offer in the absence of a superior proposal.
In making their recommendation, ROC says its directors have carefully considered the Fosun Offer and determined in good faith that the Fosun Offer is more favourable to ROC shareholders than the proposed merger with Horizon.
ROC Chairman, Mike Harding said: "The proposal to purchase all of ROC's shares for cash is superior when considered against the alternative merger of equals with Horizon and offers a significant premium to share price performance. In reaching our conclusion that the Fosun Offer is in the best interests of shareholders and a superior proposal as defined in the Horizon Merger Implementation Deed, the Board has considered a number of alternatives, including the standalone value of ROC and the value of pursuing merger with Horizon in accordance with its proposed terms. This cash offer price is consistent with the valuation ranges provided by the Independent Experts' reports produced for the Horizon merger. Following assessment of the available information and alternatives, the Board has unanimously concluded that the offer is a superior option and a low risk route to maximise immediate value for our shareholders."
Fosun explained the move would enable the Group to enter the upstream oil & gas industry and acquire oil & gas assets.
The proposed takeover agreement by Fosun is conditional upon ROC exercising its rights under that deed to terminate the merger proposal with Horizon, as the Fosun only wants to acquire ROC itself.
Horizon respects ROC decision
In a separate statement, Horizon Oil said it noted the Fosun takeover offer for ROC shares and the company's CEO wished ROC all the best.
Commenting on this development, Brent Emmett Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Oil said: "While the Board of Horizon Oil saw significant value potential in creating what we considered would be a leading Asian mid-cap E&P company, we note and respect Roc's decision to be acquired for cash, as a low risk means of achieving immediate value for its assets, bringing an end to Roc's 15 year history as an ASX listed oil and gas company. We wish Roc and its new owners well with their future endeavours."

PALM DESERT, CA — CODA Gallery honors one of its top painters with a solo exhibition and artist reception at the gallery's 32nd season opening celebration on Nov. 24.
An art history buff, Ben Steele imbues in his paintings tongue-in-cheek references to predecessors such as Leonardo da Vinci, Edgar Degas, Marc Chagall, and Jeff Koons. On many occasions, he has melded famed artists — Georges Seurat, Georgia O'Keefe, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, et al. — with crayons. He describes his work as "kind of realist or representational oil paintings, usually with a theme [in addition to crayons, he favors the Etch-a-Sketch and gumball machine]. The subject matter may vary greatly, but it weaves in history and pop culture."
When asked to name his favorite artist, Ben usually says Johannes Vermeer. But (and undoubtedly more consistent with his own artistic ethos), he notes, "It's somewhere between Vermeer and [Andy] Warhol." Indeed, one of Ben's recent works proposes Vermeer's Mistress and Maid mistress as a painter asking herself "Is it inappropriate to appropriate?" while her table holds two of Warhol's favorite brands: Brillo and Campbell's. "I love sampling through the past and combining things," Ben says. "It's like a buffet: You want to eat some of everything even if one thing is not your favorite.
In 2005, Ben opened a studio one mile from his house in the downtown section of Helper, Utah. During 2018, he has been renovating an industrial building for a new studio that, he jokes, will cut his "commute time" in half. And, he notes, almost doubling his workspace to 7,000 square feet "will allow me to increase the scale of the pieces I produce." In fact, he has already embarked on that path with a 30-by-90-inch lineup of Crayons and a 60-by-72-inch homage to Breakfast at Tiffany's showing a Tiffany-branded typewriter (in the company's trademarked shade of blue) "typing out" an image of Audrey Hepburn. Both will be included in the exhibition of new works running Nov. 24 - Dec. 22; and Ben will be in attendance for the artist reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 24.

Adequate readiness for emergency situations can go a long way in saving the lives of the people involved. At worst, it can greatly reduce casualties. Whatever kind of emergency, evacuation siren systems play an important role in informing employees and other people in a particular building or area of imminent danger. With the advances in technology, there are even systems that can automatically send messages or alerts to the police, ambulance services, fire departments, and other emergency service providers that are equipped to deal with such emergency situations. However, the efficiency of the systems determines the extent of success of evacuation efforts.
Here is a quick overview of some of the factors that affect the efficiency of evacuation sirens.
1. Intelligibility and Audibility
The intelligibility of the sound emitted by an alarm system depends on the amount of noise produced in the background. Sources of background noise include conversations, printers, mechanical equipment and heating and cooling systems. In addition, reverberations and echoes may hinder the efficiency of the alarm system in delivering emergency messages. Therefore, you should ensure that your siren system produces not only intelligible but audible sound that would rise far above the background noises.
2. Uninterrupted Power Supply
One of the first consequences of emergency situations such as disaster is cutting off of power supply. In turn, the alarm system relying solely on main power lines may not work. The result is confusion and apprehension which may contribute to raising the number of casualties. It is important, therefore, to ensure that your alarm system has backup power supply in the event of a power cut.
3. Automatic and Manual Functioning
The system should have the ability to automatically and quickly activate sirens to notify the people in a certain space of danger. Remember, the time difference between the occurrence of an emergency situation and notification of its happening may very well determine how many lives will be saved or lost. The system should also have the manual option of operation in case, for some reason, its automatic function fails.
Most emergencies come with no forewarning. It is likely that some people in certain locations of the space may know about the occurrence of the situation before others. Therefore, they must have a way of informing everyone else about the situation and enable the necessary actions in dealing with the emergency. Keep in mind that evacuation siren systems should allow activation from different parts of the building or area, including the security office, control room, and reception. In addition, it should be compatible with the available communication channels.

Find some coral calcium sachets, which are "teabags," to add minerals to your purified water because it will reduce the pH in your body; otherwise purified water alone will rob your bones and organs of precious calcium.
Self-help pointer: Don't drink soda pops, even died sodas, because it could detract from weight loss. You'll have a tendency to feel much less satisfied by using that kind of beverage with meals, so you'll probably eat more; rather than less.
Cut down on your portion sizes whenever you're eating. Many people think more about eating a smaller breakfast or skipping it altogether, but eating large portions for their lunches and dinners. However, this should be exactly the opposite. Eating a larger, more healthy breakfast is essential to get your whole body started right for the day. Then, you should watch your portion sizes throughout the day, still eating a large dinner, but not too large.
I'll be willing to bet you are overweight. Most of us are. Whether it's a few extras pounds or a whole bunch, we're fat. The fast food giants and junk-food manufacturers spend billions convincing us to eat their food. Even the so-called reduced fat kind are filled with calories. So we just eat more of those anyway, thinking we are cheating the scale. Restaurant portions are huge and my wife and I usually bring half home. But the rest of you don't. So, what am I saying here? I'm saying that you have to stop whining and do something before you end up like my wife and mother. If not, you'll get heart problems, cause liver or kidney damage, retain clogged arteries and as a result, produce a shortened lifespan.
3) Drink water all day. You will also need to drink a lot of water during the day. Water keeps you hydrated and also flushes out toxins from your body. Aim to drink eight or more glasses per day. Water also keeps you feeling full so you won't be so inclined to eat unhealthy snacks all the time.
The best oatmeal mix is going to be the one that you match up with the things you like to eat. Some of my other favorites that come to mind are bananas, cranberries, walnuts, peanut butter, diced apples, pears, and dried apricots. Keep the textures, sweetness, and contrasts in mind as you design your own oatmeal recipes.
Get help – The internet is full of information – Make use of your computer and the internet. Anything and everything you need to know is just a click away. Another way to get additional help is to talk to an online tutor or classmate or ask your online instructor for help or clarification if you are not sure about something. There are also several online discussion groups that you can join and get help that way.
Research among 9 to 12 year olds has shown that a breakfast with a low glycemic index (low GI) — that is, wholegrain bread — combined with protein keeps them satisfied much longer. Children eating a more standard breakfast that has a high GI (white bread / toast, sugary cereals, etc.), get hungry much more quickly, snack more frequently and have greater problems controlling their weight now and as adults.

Give hope to those who need it most!
We Defeat
You Can Live Outreach Love Thy Neighbor Program is to help breakthrough the barriers of discrimination and defeat HIV/AIDS stigma for individuals that are HIV positive to enable them to advocate for themselves and understand that there is life above and beyond their HIV diagnosis. Our Love Thy Neighbor Program uses street prevention within the community by traveling to individual homes of families of newly diagnosed HIV persons and helps to provide education to assist them to handle the stigma with their diagnosis, as well as, assist with referral for treatment. We have given away over 50,000 condoms since 2014 through street outreach, teach HIV 101 in homes and on street corners throughout Miami-Dade County.
We Advocate
Self-determination and an ability for individuals to take their education and our love back to their families, friends and communities is a critical part of our work. Many of our programs center-around increased knowledge and emotional wellness activities to provide negotiation skills for individuals to learn how to advocate for themselves. The individuals in our programs watch out for each other, support each other in adhering to treatment plans, and truly become family.
We Educate
No one is born knowing about HIV/AIDS. School programs may fall short of educating teens about safe sex and relationship goals. Individuals struggling with depression or substance abuse needs one on one and private space to be ready to learn. You Can Live Outreach has programs for all ages and experiences: one-on-one and emotional group sessions get to the core issues around personal behavior and responsibility, presentations by experts in the field are given during You Can Life Outreach events, seminars, stage plays and workshops; a yearly Summit and Community Health Fair to bring together clients, providers and experts to talk about issues of the day; our outreach work with young people through teen interventions, Events with a Purpose and peer groups brings the facts to kids where they live. Education is a critical part of the You Can Live Outreach Experience: helping those living with HIV know about their options, and helping those who are HIV negative stay that way.
We Support
Often, when we talk about living with HIV/AIDS, but we forget the most important part: Living! The team at You Can Live Outreach supports the lives of our clients by offering social, emotional and spiritual support through our Helen Agnes Center of Hope program. We will have special lunches throughout the year, sponsor an end of summer picnic for families (including a backpack program for school age kids!), holiday celebrations and more. A key component of the You Can Live Outreach Experience is the client organization that works with the professional team to bring program suggestions and activities to the table.
Join Our Defeat HIV Stigma Campaign!
At YOU CAN LIVE OUTREACH we save lives.
As HIV/AIDS have been frowned upon throughout South Florida. You Can Live Outreach has stood as a safety-net, and has fought the battles to protect disadvantaged individuals from the effects of HIV/AIDS stigma: We educate women, men and children about their status, restore their dignity, raise their voice and reverence their passion: we empower them to love and live again.

Child life insurance could pay out if your child dies or is diagnosed with a serious illness or condition during the term of a policy.
To find the best policy, think about:
Who you want to cover: You can either get cover for yourself, or for you and your partner. You can then add any children you have to your policy.
How much of a payout you want: You get two payouts with a child life insurance policy: a single payout for you, or you and your partner, and a payout for each child.
How long you want the policy to last: Your options may vary depending on the insurer you choose, and the older you get the more limited your term options will be.
If your child is eligible for cover: Most policies have age restrictions that mean they have to be under a certain age to get added to your policy, like 21 years and under.
What are the alternatives?
If your child is too old to be added to your policy, they could get their own. The younger a person is when they apply for life insurance, the cheaper a policy tends to be.
If you only want your child to get a payout if you die, they do not need their own policy. If you want the money to go to your child directly, you can set up your policy in trust so they get it when they are old enough.
If you want an income paid out to support your children when you die, some insurers offer a family income benefit. This could help support your family with their monthly outgoings, like rent and groceries.

Dear Readers of 20×49.com:
First off: Thank you.
Over the last year and a half or so, this little blog has taken on a life of its own. Readership has grown at a rate that surprised all of us – from 800 readers 18 months ago to about 30,000 readers this August. Analytics tell us that only about 40% of you are from Shreveport-Bossier, and that almost 40% of you live in Texas. Because we know that some of you are visitors who make regular trips to Shreveport-Bossier – and that local 20×49 readers probably have friends who are planning to visit this Fall – we'd like to ask a favor.
If you know anyone who's planning to visit Shreveport-Bossier on the weekends of Sept. 20-21, Sept. 27-28 or Oct. 4-5, please share this website with them. If they book a hotel room on one of those weekends, using that link, they'll receive free perks ranging from $25 gas cards from Valero to $25 gift certificates to the Outlets at Louisiana Boardwalk.
For example, use that link to book a night at the TownePlace Suites by Marriott, and they'll throw in a $25 gift certificate to Texas Roadhouse. Book a night at the Courtyard by Marriott Shreveport-Bossier City/Louisiana Boardwalk, and they'll throw in a $25 gift card to the Outlets at Louisiana Boardwalk. There are lots of offers to choose from, and they're being offered on the weekends of huge events like DigiFest South (Sept. 20-21), the Louisiana Film Prize (Oct. 4-5) and the opening weekend of the Red River Revel Arts Festival (Oct. 4-5).
When our hotel partners asked if 20×49.com would help spread the word about this offer, of course the answer was "absolutely."
Now, the real question: Will you help 20×49.com spread the word? If you know someone who's coming to Shreveport Bossier on any of the above-mentioned weekends – or is considering a trip – please send them this link: www.shreveport-bossier.org/hotdeals.
Thanks, again, for making this little blog a part of your life.

Not to mention that there is a great roller derby game happening then too. The Shreveport Bossier Twin City Knockers are taking on the North Shore Lethal Ladies from Mandeville, LA on 9/21 – and I've shared this link with the Mandeville ladies for their rooms.
Bre, thank you so much! We're trying to track down all of the events taking place on those weekends, and we really appreciate the help.

Is your Bible study on break for the holidays? Many studies end before Thanksgiving and don't resume until January. What can you do over break to stay in the Word? Here are some good ideas.
Understanding Hebrew Poetry
The key to understanding Hebrew poetry and Wisdom Literature is knowing that the "rhyme" of ideas is more important than the sounds. This "rhyming" of ideas is called parallelism.
How to do an Analytical Outline
An analytical outline is a way of displaying a text of Scripture so that the flow of thought and the relationship between the grammatical parts become clear. It is my favorite study tool and one of the first things I do. Learn how to make one.
Bible Study 101: How to do a word study
Word studies are one of the basic tools of Bible study. With today's tools, you don't have to know Greek and Hebrew to do a good word study. Here's how.
Interpreting Narratives
Narratives are true stories. Over 40% of the Old Testament Scriptures are narratives. Generally, the purpose of a biblical narrative is to show the Lord at work in His creation. Every genre found in the Bible presents unique challenges for understanding. Narratives are no exception. With narratives we think in scenes, plot and character, rather than paragraphs and outlines.
How to study prophecy
Studying biblical prophecy is an often overwhelming task. Much of it is written in Hebrew poetry. The names and places are foreign, and the metaphors don't always resonate with our modern ears. Yet we can usually understand the main point. If studying an Old Testament prophet overwhelms you, here are some tips to get you started.
Interpreting Epistles
Every genre found in the Bible presents unique challenges for understanding. Here are guidelines for studying epistles.
What if I failed my Bible reading plan?
Approximately one-third of those who started a Bible reading plan in January abandon it by February. By May that number will drop to half. What if you are one of the statistics?
30 Tips to Improve your Bible Study
Did you make a resolution to improve your Bible study? Here are 30 tips to help you keep that promise.

Architect's tastes are modern and massive in Tanglewood home
Couple's love of contemporary design displayed in furnishings and décor
It's inevitable that the living room in a 9,500-square-foot home is going to be big, but Imad Abdullah had another reason for his massive space: It had to hold his oversize circular sofa.
Abdullah, an architect, and his wife, Dr. Nour Sneige, a pathologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, built their Tanglewood home because they wanted shorter drives to work, but also because they wanted a clean slate for their classic midcentury-modern furniture and their growing art collection.
Plus, there was the Rossi Di Albizzate Italian leather sofa, bought from a Houston friend who closed his furniture store during the recession of the 1980s.
"We had to build around this couch," Abdullah said with a burst of laughter. "It's an 18-foot diameter, plus the stuff behind it."
For 24 years, the couple lived in Bunker Hill, remodeling that home - built in 1970 - in pieces and adding a second floor. When they'd gotten to the limit of what they could do there, it seemed time for a fresh start.
Then there's the issue of their housing and lifestyle needs, as retirement looms.
"It's hard to design for yourself at this stage of life. You ask, What is lasting design? What is real architecture? How do you handle space? And … how much space do you need?" he said.
"I came to this conclusion: When people get to the latter stage of life, rather than downsize, go for the biggest house you can. You build a lot of equity for your kids, plus it becomes an enjoyment when you have the space."
Collected modernism
Everywhere you turn in this modern home, you'll find classic midcentury furniture by Abdullah's favorite architects and designers. Sneige, too, is a fan of modern design, and they've collected pieces throughout their marriage.
Abdullah's style was influenced by the Bauhaus movement, which has captivated many students and architects over the years.
"Nour and I went to Barcelona and visited the former German Pavilion of the International Exhibition of 1929 and where the Barcelona chair served as a centerpiece. There are a lot of great designs by my fellow architects," he said. "They were great then and are still great today."
In his reading room are two black leather Barcelona chairs by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. His dining room has an "Andre" table whose base was designed by Tobia Scarpa in the 1930s and a '70s-era Milo Boughman buffet.
The breakfast area has a Marco Zanuso "Marcuso" table with E.T. chairs. And the nearby TV area has a Nicoletti leather sectional with two swivel chairs and Eileen Gray side tables.
Upstairs in casual seating areas are two of Marcel Breuer's Wassily chairs and a pair of his Cesca chairs.
"Even the Cesca chair has a lot of imitations, but when you see the real ones … these are masterpieces," he said. "There are a lot of renditions that cheapen the chairs, but the original is modern design. I am a freak for modern furniture."
His master bedroom has more current pieces from Cantoni, along with two Roche Bobois longue chaises that are 35 years old but look like they've barely been used.
Even their home office has a slice of modernism with Steelcase 454 swivel chairs and a round Herman Miller table.
Journey to America
Abdullah and Sneige are Americans now, but their journey here ran through the Middle East.
Abdullah was born in Haifa, in what is now Israel, and his family moved to Damascus, Syria, and later to Doha, Qatar. He attended architecture school in Beirut but knew after a year that his options there were too expensive.
In the mid-'60s he set out for America and spent a year in Glendale, Calif., before settling in Houston to study architecture at the University of Houston.
"I wasn't a hippie, but in the summer of 1967, we went to San Francisco. We wanted to see Haight-Ashbury, and it was quite interesting," he said of the trip with friends. "It was a wonderful time to see the scene. All of the nightclubs and the new bands and Sunset Strip and Hollywood. The whole world was changing and … it's nice to have had a taste of it."
In Houston, Abdullah made close friends at school, in the international community and through professional associations. To this day, he considers them family.
A friend asked for his help finding an apartment for a physician who would be moving to the city for a fellowship at M.D. Anderson.
It was Nour Sneige, and she and Abdullah hit it off immediately. They married a few months later; they recently celebrated their 36th anniversary.
She, too, is from the Middle East. She grew up in Syria and earned her undergraduate and medical degrees from Damascus University.
They have one son, Sammy Abdullah, who lives in Dallas, where he started a private equity firm.
His 'aha' moment
Abdullah has wanted to be an architect since seventh grade, when a class in space geometry brought his studies to life.
"My brain is wired that way. I was probably 11 or 12 at the time, and I knew I wanted to design buildings," he said.
For several years, he worked for local architecture firms, including having a hand in the design of the former Summit, where the Houston Rockets once played and where Lakewood Church now operates.
When a friend asked him to design a 48-unit townhouse project, Abdullah was inspired to go out on his own. He created Landmark Architects, which he's operated since 1976.
In addition to being a registered architect and interior designer, he's also a licensed real estate broker.
Among his projects are office buildings, townhouse and condo projects and retail centers. Recently he's worked on the interior of warehouses used by Farouk Shami, who owns the Chi hair products company based in Houston.
In their own home, though, Abdullah and Sneige wanted a place to relax and entertain. The wide open spaces on the first floor carry visitors uninterrupted throughout the home.
They've had 80 or more people in their home with room to spare as guests linger in the large living room or more intimate TV room. There's a bar near the kitchen, filled with gorgeous Elmwood cabinets and topped with slabs of Crema Bordeaux granite.
Marble or ceramic tile floors are topped with glorious Persian rugs, many of which Abdullah and Sneige have given each other as gifts.
The bathroom makes good use of stone, too. Abdullah said they used six or seven slabs in the kitchen and four or five more in the master bathroom, all iin addition to the marble flooring.
He's happy with the home he designed, as well as the life he and his wife have made here together.
"It's one of the fortunes of life that you get to come here and study and stay," he said.

Something that doesn't physically exist is easily misplaced or lost. It's a bit more unsettling when you tie many hours to misplaced data, entrusted in someones hands.
"If you want something done right, do it yourself"
Charles-Guillaume Étienne. (as translated)
The hosting company, 123-REG had made this very error, as described on an independent.co.uk news article. (also documented on many other news sites) It was unfortunate, but even more so for those who lost their data. Web-based businesses (and their clients) drowned in complete internet darkness as the servers updated their drives to "forget" the data stored on them. I suppose I was lucky that when my server vanished, my livelihood didn't go with it. Sure, it was a lot of time spent over the years; not only writing articles (that not many people at all have read), but the initial setup and configuration also took many long nights and head bashing, especially to an unexperienced "hobbyist".
Like others I too kept backups outside of the company's' server infrastructure, but they are not directly or easily transferable to a new infrastructure altogether. I am in the process of rebuilding the VPS and selecting some old blog posts to carry over into the new world.
The new rhetoric for my corner of the internet have been changed; mainly about my technology experiences and the occasional post about myself.
