Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Instructions needed but good
There are many low star reviews of this app saying it doesn't work. I was similarly confused when my daughter first used it because the flower wouldn't grow. There's a watering pot icon that does nothing when you tap it, leading to the low reviews. The instructions should state that you have to press and hold the button for a few seconds for the flower to grow. This app works as designed and is entertaining for children. There are 2 screens that function as they should. Parents need to do more troubleshooting before asking for their money back.
Nice art and music game
There are no written instructions but we had no problem figuring out how to make it work. My 4 year old really enjoys the paining and the music you can make. I'm still trying to figure out if there is a pattern to the worms and gopher, because my daughter likes how they make a line in the flower if you catch them.
very soothing
I bought this app over a year ago, and my 2 1/2 year old loves it. Press the colored keys to change the color and tone when you poke the seed. Hold the watering can to make the flower grow. Spin the flowers by holding them, or by swiping, or get percussion noises by tapping the faces. Works just fine!

Brady Campaign Says Weak U.S. Gun Laws Fueling Mexican Violence
The Mexican drug war has received much attention recently in the media. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence prepared this paper to assist journalists who have asked about U.S. gun laws and the role they play in the ongoing violence.
Mexico's escalating gun war with well-armed drug cartels has killed thousands of police, government officials, and ordinary citizens, and threatens the stability of the Mexican government. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and President Obama have recognized that helping stem the violence in Mexico is of urgent national — and international — importance. American gun sellers supply the cartels with virtually all of their guns — between 95 and 100 percent. Recently, Mexico's drug war has begun to wreak havoc in the U.S.
While the crisis has been much discussed in the media and in Washington, there has been little mention of the elephant in the room: the Mexican drug cartels are arming themselves here because the U.S. makes it too easy for criminals and traffickers to get guns. Mexican Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora correctly called American gun laws "absurd."
Two crucial points need to be in the spotlight in media coverage and policy responses to the crisis:
1) To stem the violence in Mexico, we need to prevent criminals and traffickers from buying guns in the U.S. by plugging loopholes in our gun laws and strengthening law enforcement's ability to crack down on corrupt gun dealers. This crisis is not happening because our border is loose; it is happening because our gun laws allow unlicensed sellers to sell guns without Brady background checks, military-style assault weapons to be freely sold, and corrupt dealers to thrive. Making our borders less porous will take years, and will not stop the imminent Mexican crisis.
2) The same legal loopholes and corrupt gun sellers who arm Mexican criminals also arm American criminals. While we should heed the call of Mexican officials to help stop the violence there, we also should heed the call of the majority of Americans who want to stop the violence in their communities.
Loopholes in Our Gun Laws Enable Mexican Drug Cartels To Obtain Deadly Weapons
Mexican criminals can't get guns in Mexico because the gun laws in Mexico, like those in most industrialized nations, do not allow a vast unregulated gun market, in which military-style weapons and all manner of guns are easily available to be purchased in unlimited quantity without a background check. Stymied by Mexico's tough gun laws, the drug lords and the traffickers who supply them come to the U.S. to take advantage of our gun laws' gaping loopholes:
* No Background Check Sales: Federal law allows guns to be sold by unlicensed sellers without Brady background checks. ATF has found that "no background check" sales are a major source for supplying dangerous people with guns. Investigations of gun shows have found that unlicensed sellers have trafficked thousands of guns without background checks, making them the second most prominent source of illegal gun trafficking. Mexican drug cartels are exploiting this loophole, buying guns in "no background check" sales at gun shows or other private venues.
* Military-style Assault Weapons: Federal law in the U.S. allows civilians to purchase military style assault weapons, as well as military surplus .50 caliber sniper rifles that can shoot through armored vehicles and bring down airplanes. Mexican law enforcement is increasingly being out-gunned by drug gangs bearing military-style weapons. Mexico Attorney General Medina Mora has said that before the U.S. assault weapons ban was allowed to expire, only 21 percent of the weapons Mexico seized from traffickers were assault rifles, while today, it is more than half. For example, a Bushmaster carbine, a civilian version of the M-16 assault rifle, bought in Houston was used by drug gangsters disguised as soldiers to massacre four police officers and three secretaries in the "2007 Acapulco Massacre."
* Bulk Sales: Federal law does not limit the number of guns a purchaser can buy at a time – the only limit is the buyer's ability to pay for them. This enables gun traffickers to buy guns in bulk, and/or buy guns repeatedly from the same store. For example, between January and November 2003, Adan Rodriguez purchased more than 150 guns for Mexican drug gangs, returning repeatedly to Ammo Depot in Mesquite, Texas. One of the guns he sold was connected to the shooting of a police officer in Reynosa.
* Restrictions on law enforcement: Only one percent of federally licensed firearms dealers are responsible for nearly 60 percent of guns traced to crime in the U.S.,8 and many of the guns trafficked to Mexico are also sold by gun dealers who are at worst corrupt, at best, willfully indifferent when they sell guns to straw purchasers.9 Yet federal law makes it too hard for law enforcement to crack down on corrupt gun dealers. For example, ATF is limited to one spot inspection per year, and the standard of proof for license revocations is difficult to meet. Riders attached annually to Justice Department appropriations legislation since 2004, known as the Tiahrt Amendment, prohibit ATF from requiring gun dealer inventory audits, restrict disclosure of crime gun data, and require the destruction of Brady Background Records after 24 hours. These restrictions make it harder for law enforcement to investigate corrupt dealers.
The Loopholes That Arm Mexican Cartels Are Also Killing Americans
Just as criminals in Mexico find it necessary to go to the U.S. to get guns, American criminals get a disproportionate share of their guns from states with weak gun laws. For example, states that require permits for handgun sales export a third of the crime guns as states with no such requirement. States like Texas, that allow gun sales without background checks export crime guns on average at about twice the rate of states that have closed the gun show loophole. Texas leads the nation as the primary source of guns for drug cartels and Texas dealers are the third highest supplier of interstate
crime guns in the U.S. The states with the highest rate of supplying crime guns to other states all have weak gun laws. States with weak gun laws also supply a larger percentage of in-state criminals with guns – because criminals do not need to travel to get guns.
Current Proposals Are Insufficient to Stem The Violence in Mexico – or America
In response to the Mexican crisis, legislation has been introduced to expand resources for ATF to crack down on firearms trafficking across the border,16 and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has called for reinstatement of an assault weapons ban. While these proposals are positive steps, they alone will not be sufficient to stem the gun crisis in Mexico, or in the United States.
In formulating a policy to stem the flow of guns to Mexico, policymakers must focus on the fundamental problem – that our laws in the U.S. make it far too easy for criminals to obtain guns. We need to require Brady background checks for all gun sales. We should not allow the purchases of unlimited numbers of guns at one time to anyone with a high credit card limit. We should strengthen ATF's legal authority to crack down on corrupt gun dealers.
While we respond to the gun violence crisis in Mexico, we should also respond to the gun violence crisis here at home. The United States suffers more than 30,000 deaths and more than 70,000 injuries due to gun violence every year.18 Estimates of direct medical expenses for firearm injuries range from $2.3 billion19 to $4 billion per year in the U.S., nearly 50% of which is covered by taxpayers. By strengthening our federal gun laws, we can start preventing criminals in Mexico and the U.S. from acquiring guns.

I'm sure many of you have realised by now that we're back home in Australia. The Gold Coast is still as cold as ever, making its last journey through winter. Soon, it will be spring. Perhaps a new beginning for me. I am a fresh graduate; my certificate's all ready to be framed and mounted somewhere on my wall. To be honest, I'm not sure where to go from here. I have a few ideas, but they're all very loose ones. I'm finding it all very hard and overwhelming to pick and choose. It's a little scary. But I suppose a lot of people come to this stage in life and manage to find their way sooner or later. I hope my turn comes soon.
Something to comfort the soul, in the meantime. Brownies. And not the hard and heavy kind. The soft and chewy, if you will. With plenty…

We went up there (they live about 2 1/2 hrs north of us) after we picked up Alex from school yesterday afternoon to meet the new cousin. I meant to bring my digital camera, but forgot so no pics. When we got there we found out the hospital had a policy that didn't allow kids under 12 onthe maternity ward. I didn't think any hospitals did that anymore. So Sean ended up watching the kids in the lounge while I went in and visited the baby and new parents. Sean came in a bit later and visited a bit while I took a turn watching the kids. The nurse did relent a bit and said that Alex could come in and take a peek as long as he washed his hands (which I would have made him do anyway), so at least he got to see the new baby. Maryanne is a real cutie but of course not as cute as my babies were.
I was able to finally get rid of most of Katie's clothes she's outgrown though - so that's a bonus. So many cute outfits I sorted through to give them, almost made me want another. I said ALMOST.
In other unrelated news, Katie has been doing really well with the potty training. Much better than I had even hoped she would this young! She still isn't telling me she has to go, but she will start trying to pull her pants down, or diaper off sometimes when she has to go. I think if she had more words she probably would be communicating it to me. I've been trying to get her to say "potty" so she can tell me when she has to go, but no such luck. I did get her to go poopy on the potty yesterday, so that was a big victory and she definitely knows what the potty is for and goes every time I put her on it. She is so cute about it too. She will sit there and then when she starts going she gets this little self-satisfied grin on her face. :)
As far as my stitching goes, I did get some more in on my Angel of Summer. I'm pleasantly surprised at how she is turning out. I am doing her on MGC Textiles linen which isn't an exact evenweave, so she'll be a little fatter than the designer intended. I really like the color though, the pinks are showing up really well on the blue linen. I just worked on the wings this time and got sort of bogged down in that so I'm going to move on in the rotation and try to get in a little bit more on EGW before my next RR piece comes. Here is a quick pic of my progress on Angel of Summer so far.

The Curse of Leading
April 28, 2016
by Jacqueline Stoughton
Over the past year I've had experiences in my personal life that I never imagined I would find myself having to endure. Those experiences inspired me to try and become a more 'positive thinker.' Every genuinely happy person I know in my life always advises positive thinking; that one positive thought in the morning can make such an impact on your entire day if you start it out on a good note.
I gave positive thinking a solid effort. I downloaded all the positive affirmation memes and even changed my cell phone background to say "focus on the good." I found that the people who surround you really have an influence on how well positive thinking works. Being around negative people has much more of an effect on your attitude and outlook than many may realize.
This year especially, my positive outlook was tested being in the position I am in. Being in the Editor-in-Chief position, I receive emails criticizing my writing, I have people who call me a "bitch" just for doing my job and I have people who work for me who don't respect me as a leader because I'm also a peer of the same age and still a student – they don't respect my position and the decisions I have to make daily.
As a woman, I hadn't experienced the disrespect, and at times cruelty, that men extend to women in powerful leadership positions until I became Editor-in-Chief. Sadly, I expected to experience this at some point in my career and doubt this will be the last time. What was especially sad was I was experiencing this same treatment from women on my staff as well. Just because I do my job as expected, give direction and hold my editors to high standards shouldn't be a legitimate reason to classify me as a "bitch."
Especially as women, we should be building each other up instead of going out of our way to knock each other down with hateful language. Men and women in a field as competitive as journalism should be supporting and encouraging each other to set ambitious goals. Competition doesn't give you an excuse to be a hateful, cruel and negative person to others.
As someone who spent the majority of my young life with the "shy girl" as my identifier, college was the new environment I needed to pull myself out of my shell and gave me the confidence to be myself – someone who isn't shy.
It's unfortunate for people like me, who built themselves up from being a shy and vulnerable person who people used to walk all over, to someone that's confident, has opinions and is strong, assertive and knows how I want to lead, is then knocked down by people misinterpreting my strongest qualities as being bitchy, unapproachable, bossy and aggressive. If I were a man in the same position, I wouldn't be treated the way I have been as a woman leader.
Cosmopolitan Magazine stated studies confirm women have a tendency to avoid leadership positions out of fear of being labeled as bossy. As more success comes to a woman climbing the corporate ladder, other men and women like her less. Their negative language towards her changes the perception everyone else has of her.
This is similar to what I've been experiencing. Just because some may be jealous of my success, they feel inclined to refer to me as a bitch to everyone else in the office, now establishing that as my office identifier. I definitely didn't work tirelessly for three year to get this position, just to be mislabeled as a bitch.
Going out of my way to tear someone down and break their confidence never makes me feel better about myself, and it certainly doesn't feel good being on the other end of that. We should all practice supporting other instead of using hurtful language to try and set them up for failure.
Not everyone you meet will like you, just as you won't like everyone you meet either, and that's okay. We all need to work on respecting those in leadership positions, men and women, regardless of what our personal feelings towards them may be. Words hurt, we need to be more aware of our word choices about others because you never know what kind of battle that person is fighting.
Women are just as capable of being leaders as men are; fueling the stereotype with degrading language choices isn't solving any of our societal problems or perception of women leaders. Change can only be made when everyone realizes that even what they say behind others backs has an effect.
Hopefully this message comes across to those who have inflicted this negative treatment on me all year. This type of treatment isn't going to get you anywhere in life once you leave the college environment. Starting now, we need to be more aware of the effect our words have and start appreciating and recognizing the hard work people like myself, in leadership positions go through daily, instead of doing whatever you can to bring that person down. Does inflicting such negativity on others really make you feel better about yourself? I'm guessing not so much.

"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
Luke 22:31-32 (NASB)
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8
"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
Luke 22:31-32 (NASB)
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25 – (NASB)
I love this passage of scripture. Located in the book of Jude the Holy Spirit encourages us through mercy to bring others to salvation. Then like a sweet dessert after a good meal the Lord lets us know that there is strength available to keep us from falling. How thankful I am for that strength!
I am reminded of the phrase from James "But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust" James 1:14. My first response to this verse has been to consider the struggle that many people face lusting after the appearance of a man or woman. But recently I have discovered that like just like lust I can be enticed by fear. But like temptation, God is not is not afraid of anyone, and when I am tempted to be scared of another person, it is not from the Lord. I am drawn away from my own fear. What is my response, I will not own it. I treat lust, and fear like a sale item you see when entering a store. While waking into the store for things I need attractive sale items not on my list are made accessible to me in the hope that I will pick them up. Recently shopping with my daughter. There were some mini apple pies on display that caught my eye. My daughter stopped me and told me not to buy them because they were not the right kind we usually purchased. They were a counterfeit trying to look like the real thing.
Fear and lust are counterfeit products, readily available on the sale table of life and you don't have to own them. Courage and love are more expensive but worth so much more. Just like my daughter was there to guide me, the Holy Spirit is there and able to keep you from counterfeit spiritual products. I speak the truth in Christ so I would be lying if I told you I haven't purchased the counterfeit products before. But in Jesus name, they went out with the trash! I am not wasting time or money on lust, fear, or any of the counterfeits to the fruits of the spirit that Jesus has to offer me.
Fear is not mine, I don't own it. Lust is not mine, I don't own it. Thank you, Lord, that I stand in your presence blameless, with great joy. I give you all the glory right now and forever. Thank you Holy Spirit for staying with me through all the years I didn't listen. Thank for the strength not to fall. I didn't know it was there before, but now that I know I will start using it today. It is true you are worthy of my praise, worship, honor, and glory.
Thank you for being my God!
Stand up to all the fear and lust on sale today! You don't own it! Be courageous and get ready for your test! Relish in the fact that you have what you need to win.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1 NKJV
Hallelujah is a word I have heard sang, shouted, and declared in the church since I was a child. I was taught like most church members that it was the highest expression of praise. When I was young I sang it as part of a song, quoted it as part of a sermon, and learned it as part of a lesson.
As an adult, it is much different for me.
Read with me in 1st Peter:
In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:6-9 NASB
My Hallelujah has been my battle cry in tough situations. When I am up against the wall I say Hallelujah. It's my way of saying to Jesus no matter what I am facing what you are Lord over it and in control. There will always be a place in my heart for my Hallelujah to Jesus and I am not giving it up. Plumbing leak? Hallelujah. Car accident? Hallelujah! Trouble at work? Hallelujah!!!
I often tell my kids not to waste things. Soap liquid, food, time, they are all expensive and should be used wisely. My Hallelujah is expensive. I have spent years investing in it trusting the Lord that I can walk on the water like him in the middle of a storm.
My Hallelujah is non-negotiable. It's part of who I am in Jesus, it's coming with me where I go. When I am at work, at school, at home. My Hallelujah is a part of who I am.
Jesus is so amazing that took the old creature and turned me into this new creature. I can't hide the joy I have on the inside of me. I protect that Joy with my Hallelujah by not leaning on my own understanding. But trusting him enough to declare Hallelujah Jesus I thank you no matter what. I praise you no matter what, and I love you no matter what because you are Lord.
Lord Jesus, I thank you. I thank you that have been faithful in my life for so long. I give you every Hallelujah. I give you my all. I give you my heart fully trusting you today. I fully give you all the praise today for everything I will face.
In Jesus Name Amen
Make a place in your heart for Hallelujah. Like yeast knead it into every situation in your heart. Trust the Lord, he is worthy of your Hallelujah no matter what you face.
Jesus has just healed the man who sat lame by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years. He didn't know who healed him. But on a Sunday Jesus had told him to rise, take up his bed (pallet), and walk. People asked him why he was carrying his bed on a Sunday (which was against the Sabbath rules). All he could tell them was that the one who healed him told me to carry this bed. It wasn't until later that Jesus revealed himself to the formerly lame man and commanded him not to sin anymore. When the man learned who healed him he went and told everyone. The church leadership was angry with Jesus and sought to kill him for breaking Sabbath rules. This is what he said to them.
Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.
John 5 19-20 (NASB)
Jesus was so clear about his position and his authority because he did what the father did, and saw what the Father showed him. The healed man was confident to break the rules because of his connection to Jesus. Jesus was confident to break the rules because of his connection to the Father.
I want to do what Jesus does, and see what he is showing me the same way he was with the father. In the midst of people who were seeking to kill him, he kept such a calm strong assurance know he was doing the Fathers will!
Jesus, I thank you! I know, I believe, I receive that I can do what you do, I can see what you want me to see. I can stand in any situation with total confidence in you! Glory to you name Jesus! Thank you for considering us and esteeming us so highly. I am amazed by the great gift of your Holy Spirit you have given us. I SHALL NOT FEAR. I know my Saviour and I am proud, glad, and at peace carrying my pallet proclaiming that Jesus healed me!
God speaks. Make time to listen.
In the book of Daniel, there are two words used for prayer that are not recorded anywhere else in the original Hebrew. Those words are beh-aw' (beh·ä') for prayer and chanan (khan·an' ) for supplication. Beh-aw means to ask, seek, request, desire, pray, and to make petition. Chanan means to show or implore favor. But what is it about Daniels prayer that separated his prayers from the other prayers in the Bible? If you recall the testimony of Daniel he was a captive to foreign kings, and often in a hostile political environment where his life was at stake. That word beh-aw was not only used when Daniel prayed but also when he petitioned the foreign kings for whom he worked. Often he petitioned for his life and the life of his friends. When Daniel "chananed" or asked the favor of the Lord it was the same word used in Daniel chapter four when he asked Neduchanezzar to show mercy to the poor.
When Daniel prayed, he understood that his words were heard directly by the king and those words had the power to forever change his life and the life of those around him.
Father today I have to go into a rough environment at work. I am not going there to bless them; I am going to bless you through them. My sacrifice is unto you, and I believe you will get all of the glory from it. I excitedly look for your hand in my life today.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Right now, in the midst of a hostile environment, pray like Daniel prayed. Petition a king who hears, and request the favor of a king who shows mercy. Pray and know with your whole heart that your life is changed and the lives of those around you are changed by the words you speak.
King David was exhausted. The nation of the Philistines was a constant thorn in his side. In Davids life, he had lost one child and been betrayed by another. During a previous battle he had grown weary and Ishbibenob a giant like Goliath would have killed him if it wasn't for his soldier Abishai. Needless to say, he had been through some rough patches.
In second Samuel chapter twenty-three, we find an older King David in a cave. The Philistines had come into Isreali territory again. As a matter of fact, they had set up a defensive position in Davids hometown of Bethlehem. Speaking aloud, David mentions how he wanted to have a drink from the well of Bethlehem. Three of his soldiers heard him and broke through the enemy line. They got water from the well and brought it back to David. He wouldn't drink it. Instead, he poured it out on the ground unto the Lord, honoring the Lord for sacrifice the men had made.
At the moment he spoke of the well I believe David was speaking prophetically without realizing it. In John chapter four we find Jesus by a well in Samaria where he tells a woman if she drinks from the water he provides she will never thirst again. David without knowing it spoke of Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, and the fountain of water living in every heart that receives him.
However, standing in a cave, exhausted from circumstance and life, I don't believe King David set out to make a profound prophetic statement. The moment he saw those men return with that water, risking their lives, he saw an opportunity to honor the Lord. It is in the expanse of history and time we can look back and see the hand of the Lord in it all.
The same is true in our own life in difficult times. We may not always remember the right verse to quote for every situation. However, if we make a choice to honor the Lord we can look back and see his hand through the exhausting times in our life.
Father thank you for the peace you have given us. We will not let our hearts be troubled or fearful. We will honor you in all we say and do. Thank you for the honor you place on us.
Remembering the Lord in the midst of a trial can be a difficult task. But, it is a necessary, life changing moment! Honor the Lord at all times. To the best of your understanding and with all of your heart honor him, and he will honor you.

DNS and browser technology was originally developed for ACSII Latin keyboard sets and it was not until 2003 that real support for Greek, Cyrilic and Oriental sets began to appear. With the full alphabet of some languages extending beyond 1800 characters it is easy to see reasons why a standard was developed early on the US systems that then had to be aded to later in order to supoort worldwide adoption of the Internet as a local tool. The tool in question converts from ASCII to other alpahbets and back again and so still has to confrm to the 63 character limit of DNS as well as other rules.
But what does a Chinese web user think of as a sensible suffix if their browser is displaying Chinese characters anyway? Surely we are all bidding for the same domain names? Well actually no - in 2010 ICANN standardised Chinese domain character suffixes including Russia and China and although China have only registered 200,000 or so thus far, the number is increasing daily.
So does this mean that we cannot bid on Chinese domains? Well the CN domain extension is becoming more and more important to many in China as, although their language permits far easier trade inside of their country, China is now the world largest exporter and so CN domains are big business.
This leaves an interesting Gap. Because CN domains are really only understandable by those of us with a good appreciation of the Latin text, there is a great opportunity to buy up CN domains that the Chinese have not yet identified as being destined for greatness.

China's newest investment craze is short domain names
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, ICANN, President and Chief Executive Rod Beckstrom, left, and Kurt Pritz, Senior Vice President speaks on expanding the number of domain name suffixes during a press conference, London, Wednesday June 13, 2012. Proposals for Internet addresses ending in ".pizza," ''.space" and ".auto" are among the nearly 2,000 submitted as part of the largest expansion in the online address system. Apple Inc., Sony Corp. and American Express Co. are among companies seeking names with their brands. The expansion will allow suffixes that represent hobbies, ethnic groups, corporate brand names and more. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers announced the proposals for Internet suffixes — the ".com" part of an Internet address — in London on Wednesday. Among the 1,930 proposals for 1,409 different suffixes, the bulk came from North America and Europe.
Thanks to an e-commerce boom in China, thousands of investors like Wu are rushing to snap up "short" domain names, ones with five or less letters or numbers, and pushing up the value of domain names around the world in the process.
Chinese buyers accounted for nearly 75% of all global short domain name purchases in 2015, according to the latest 2015 Year-to-Date Top 100 Sales Chart provided by DNJournal and WHOIS data provided by DomainIQ (paywall), and 48% of the top 100 sales.
This data may even underestimate their involvement, as many high-end domain name sales are never reported publicly, or involve private buyers. For example, the most expensive domain name sale this year, porno.com, involved a private buyer—one who the purchase price of $8,888,888 indicates was probably Chinese (eight is a favorite number in Chinese culture because it represents "making a fortune" ).
"China has become the largest buyer of short dot-com domain names, without a doubt," Alan Dunn, the managing director of NameCorp, a Delray Beach, Florida-based digital naming agency, told Quartz via email. And Chinese buyers are amassing a growing percentage of the global internet's short domain names, other experts say:
Most Chinese buyers aren't snapping these up to start their own online companies, they're buying them to sell for a higher price.
A recent auction in Shenzhen showed how hot names are right now. On Dec. 19th's "Domain Day of China," the first-ever Chinese Domain Festival and China Digital Asset Investment Summit, a crowd of over 200 Chinese investors spent 154.49 million yuan ($24.1 million) to snap up domain names like house.com.
An entire cottage industry of brokers, auction houses, and domain name valuation websites has sprung up to cater to these investors that controls the industry. "Most large deals are done via agencies," said Chen Xuedan, the chairman of 190.com, a digital asset company that co-sponsored the Shenzhen auction; some Chinese investors have found that short holding times can yield big profits.
As anyone who remembers the US tech bubble of the 1990s can tell you, domain name investing has existed for years. "Even before the influx of Chinese investment, there was an established wholesale market for buying and selling domain names," Dunn said.
But these new Chinese buyers have very specific appetites for domain names, Mimayi's Zhang explained, with a preference for initial consonants and short, numeric names.
Two-, three-, and four-number domain names that do not include a "0" or "4" are the most popular, he said, "because '0' looks like 'O', because zero looks like the English letter O and might be confusing, and 'four' in Chinese pronunciation sounds like 'death.' " The number eight is especially popular for gambling websites, because of its association with making money.
As for English-sounding web names, most of the alphabet, except vowels and the letter "v," are popular, and short is best. Jingdong, a famous Chinese e-commerce platform, changed its domain name from 360buy.com to JD.com (JD is short for Jingdong in Chinese Pinyin spelling).
As Chinese investors and the agencies that cater to them have rushed into the market, finding good names has become more difficult, Dunn said. "Many domains listed on one venue may never show up on others," he said, and some domain names are only available to subscribers or customers of brokerage houses.
Looking for the big payout
As e-commerce booms in China, companies are paying millions to buy the right domain name—and some investors are hitting the jackpot. Earlier this year, Qihoo 360, an internet security company, spent 110 million yuan ($17 million) to purchase "360.com," by far the highest price paid for a domain name in China this year.
Within the past four years, there have been several other multi-million dollar deals in China:
After pouring money into real estate, stocks, and a host of less orthodox investments, there are warning signs that Chinese investors jump into domain names may be causing another bubble.
First of all, the number of registered names is growing incredibly fast. At the recent "2nd World Internet Conference" held in Wuzhen, China, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) reported that the registered numbers of .CN (link in Chinese) domain names has hit 12.25 million, a year-on-year growth of 200%.
And because the domain name market is not regulated by any official government, there's no oversight whatsoever. "For most domain names the only key regulation is that you must provide accurate WHOIS information and verify an email address," Dunn told Quartz. Regulators aren't paying attention because domain name investment is "still only a small fraction of the financial ecosystem," he said.
The purchase of domain names is not public, which means many are high-end sales are done without open records of the purchase prices, and handled in private auctions or even over messaging service Wechat. Over the last year, "great domains like HongKong.com, Taiwan.com, DD.com and others" have changed hands, Dunn point out, but no one knows the details of the sales.
Investors in the industry have to rely on agents and brokers instead for information, who are making money off of domain name sales and are incentivized to make the market look at lucrative as possible.
Zhang, Dunn, and others in the business compare domain names to antiques, because they are one of a kind assets that can't be reproduced. But to sell them at a profit, someone else has to want them. As a domain investor himself, Zhang said he lost thousands of yuan early on, because no one wanted to buy the names he had.
Whether the market is a bubble is "certainly a fair question," Dunn said. "Very few assets ever have a chart that just shows an upward motion."

"Take my grandchildren to Sunday school." These were the final words I was to hear from my neighbor who died of brain cancer in 2014. How could I do that? They lived in Japan at the time. Their parents, as far as I knew, weren't into church either. This didn't let me off the hook because a year ago the family moved from Japan into my neighbor's home, and now her grandchildren are right across our driveway. I see them nearly every day. And I've discovered that Sunday school can happen more than just on Sundays and more than just at my church. Right now it's highly unlikely they would go to my church, but guess what, God brought the church to them through me and my wife.
Even though I'm committed to our United Methodist Church's mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, I don't always do a good job. I many times get so involved inside my church, doing church stuff with church folk, that disciple making outside rarely happens in an intentional way. I don't know about you, but I need help.
That's why I'm excited about the launch of regional Missional Peer Learning Groups. These are designed to help persons like me, and church leaders and teams, with ideas, encouragement, accountability and prayer as we make all make disciples where God places us. I encourage you to consider trying out one of these groups. Just contact the person below and they'll help you get connected. Or feel free to contact me.

(c) 2013, Bloomberg News.
Having survived my seventh season as general manager of the world's largest opera company, I have recently been traveling in Europe, assessing singers and overseas productions, and negotiating to include some of them � like the brilliant new Salzburg Festival production of Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" � in the future artistic plans of the Metropolitan Opera.
With the economic crisis bringing Europe to its knees, leaders of opera companies over there are being forced to think more about their audiences than ever before, as government subsidies are cut significantly back.
Of course, we in the United States don't have this problem, since we have hardly any public subsidies to begin with � which is why our government hopefully will not reduce the tax benefits for our loyal donors any further than it already has.
Opera dwarfs its descendant, the for-profit Broadway musical, in its epic scale and grand musical ambition. Unlike Broadway, with its comparatively small, amplified pit orchestras, opera musically goes for it all, boasting hundreds of orchestral musicians, choristers and star singers to perform together in staged spectacles that defy financial logic.
In order to avoid becoming a cultural dinosaur, opera must continue to attract an audience that will not only buy expensive tickets, but also make generous donations. (Last year alone, the Met raised $150 million in contributions to balance its budget.)
Reinterpreting the classics with a new breed of opera stars who possess acting skills to go with their high C's, and guided by conductors, directors and designers at the top of their game, we at the Met aim to offer extravagant yet sophisticated entertainment.
Of course, most of opera's past success was based on its ability to entertain audiences, which should be self-evident to anyone who has been moved by the tragic circumstances of Verdi's "Otello" or tickled by the comic relief of his "Falstaff."
But today the notion that high art can also be entertainment is anathema to those who think that genius is not suited to accessibility and that opera presentations should be a Spartan exercise.
This concept has potentially threatened opera's very existence, resulting in the staging of some operas over the last several decades that misguidedly deconstruct familiar plots, thereby depriving audiences � particularly new ones � of the satisfaction of being able to follow the original storylines.
That's how "Rigoletto" came to its infamous German production, where the action was set in a post-apocalypse "Planet of the Apes" world, with most of the singers, including the Duke of Mantua, in ape suits. It is also how a recent Dusseldorf production of "Tannhauser" ended up being set in a gas chamber. (In the wake of protests, it was quickly cancelled.)
Now, with global finances for the arts tightening like never before, a reality check is in order. Since opera is an art form that depends on the positive response of the public and on attracting new audiences, it's not a good idea to turn off either. Audiences are not going to spend hundreds of dollars on tickets to be confused or insulted.
In 1904, when Puccini's original two-act version of "Madama Butterfly" was met with stony silence at its La Scala premiere, Puccini immediately went back to the drawing board to re-work it. The following season, "Butterfly" returned triumphantly in a new version that the public found highly entertaining.
Verdi, too, worried about the size of his audience, believing it to be the single most important factor in judging the success of his compositions. Both Verdi and Puccini rejoiced in knowing that their most appealing arias were hummed outside of the opera house in the main streets of Italy, a popularity meter of the times.
Opera cannot exist in a vacuum. While experimentation is essential, we must also have the widespread support of the public, particularly when we have thousands of seats to fill in the larger opera houses. (The Met is the biggest with 3,800 seats.)
It is possible for a single work of performance art to achieve success on more than one level, appealing to both the experienced operaphile and the newcomer � if the storytelling is good.
Fortunately, there have always been creative stage directors who are up to the challenge, unafraid of the potential backlash that sometimes accompanies a lucid staging.
Before the late Anthony Minghella directed his stunning "Madama Butterfly" at the English National Opera and at the Met (the first production I presented in 2006), he was asked by a skeptical critic, "What are you going to do to 'Madama Butterfly?'" In response, Anthony said, "I'm not going to do anything to 'Madama Butterfly' except tell the story."
Minghella's breathtakingly beautiful production went on to become a huge hit in London and New York. Even the critics loved it.
In our most recent season at the Met, Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer staged "Rigoletto" in a 1960's neon-lit Las Vegas setting that resonated with traditionalists as well as the uninitiated because the story, though updated, clung faithfully to the plot.
The court of the misogynous Duke was moved from its 16th- century Mantua palace to a 20th-century casino. With its spectacular self-illuminating sets, it was opera delivered as high-minded entertainment for a 21st-century audience.
Although the Rat Pack might not have approved of seeing their antics depicted on our stage, I'd bet that Verdi would have been pleased by our packed houses. As he once said, "Opera of today will also be the opera of the future." Our job is to be true to Verdi's word.
Peter Gelb is the general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, whose 129th season opens September 23 with Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin."

JOSHUA CLOVER is a writer and political antagonist living in the Bay Area. He has monetized his poetry by becoming a teacher, sometimes.
Thanks for inviting me to contribute. As I warned you, I am sort of a skeptic, or maybe it's just that I want more, I always want more. It is already a lovely thing and I want to throw a penny in the wishing well for some further findings.
The thing I have loved about it is the ethnographic element. I remember reading Studs Terkel's Working in high school and finding many parts of it fascinating, while at the same time feeling ashamed of my failure to be properly proletarian (it was at this time that I planned to refuse college and go work in a gas station, which is more or less what I did for a couple of years). And hearing similar accounts of what work means and how it feels, even — especially — the flat factuality of it, from friends and peers and collaborators, is all the more fascinating because they are people I know, from milieux that I have the resources to parse. So I can feel it all much better — you know? — better than a 14-year old reading Working could. Anyway, I love that part.
The parts I want to go farther have to do with the relationship of poetry to work, and its specificity. That is to say, I could imagine the following scenario: I am a committed Yahtzee player and I have a lot of friends who are committed Yahtzee players, but we all suffer from different-yet-similar versions of this generalized problem, which is that we have to work to survive, and we also have these other obligations having to do with social bonds and carework and so on. And all of this really cuts into our Yahtzee time. And so we commiserate, and puzzle over this, and rail against it, and one of the things we do is put together the Yahtzee Labor Project. And I can imagine having a very similar reaction: the Yahtzee Labor Project is a way for me and my friends to share stories about this problem that matters to us, and it is compelling to hear about, and helps us be a community, and see each others' struggles. All to the good.
Is there a fundamental difference between the Poetic Labor Project and the Yahtzee Labor Project? The thing I want to imagine is that there is some real relationship between the category of "poetics" (or "poet") and that of "labor" — more than the ubiquitous fact that labor, the labor of those without reserves, the labor which is thus compelled of us, steals a lot of our lives and we seriously have better things to do. And I suspect this might be the case, that there might be ways to specify the relationship. But I am really hesitant around the ways this particular puzzle often gets approached.
Some people say that the practice of making poems is a lot like labor, that they are structurally or phenomenologically similar, and I don't really believe this. Poetry, not being compelled in that material sense, not being a source of value, will always be absolutely, qualitatively different from labor.
On the other hand, some people say that poetry is an opposition to labor, because it refuses to be useful in the measures of capitalism — that it isn't only non-labor but anti-labor, rifted with some slivers of real autonomy. I am not really swayed by this position either, anymore than I am swayed by the idea of a gift economy or going off the grid. Poetry may not produce value but it is nonetheless entirely within the market, we do not escape those forces when we work on poetry. We monetize poetry in explicit ways, or implicit ways, or we do not monetize it and it resides in the sector of our lives that is not monetized, but which still must obey the discipline of the market — most obviously the discipline about how much time you can spend on non-monetized stuff, be it poetry or Yahtzee.
So poetry really isn't labor, and it really isn't anti-labor. What then can we say about it, in relation to labor, that isn't just Yahtzee?
I'm not really sure. But given the situation I have set forth, I don't think that poetry can intervene in the situation of labor. I think that the relationship of labor to poetry is that you have to attack labor to free poetry from this set of problems. And that attack won't be poems. So for me the relation of labor to poetry exists in neither labor nor poetry but in a set of directly political practices that can undo the present pseudo-relationship. When we speak of "the Poetic Labor Project," if we speak of anything beyond a community ethnography, we speak of total war on labor.

Jeffersonian Republicans
The Jeffersonian Republicans placed their faith in the virtues of an agrarian democracy. They believed that the greatest threat to liberty was posed by a tyrannical central government and that power in the hands of the common people was preferred. Those natural democratic instincts required sharpening, however, by education. In foreign affairs, the Jeffersonian-Republicans favored France over Britain. Jefferson lauded the French Revolution, which claimed the American Revolution as its model, but decried its bloody excesses. The Jeffersonian-Republicans opposed the Jay's Treaty (1795) as excessively pro-British.
The Jeffersonians began using the name Democratic-Republicans in 1796, and would later shorten it to Republicans. During the time of Andrew Jackson they became the Democratic Party.
Over the course of history the idealistic Jeffersonian philosophy lost out to Federalism.

FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio --
A backyard ice rink in a local neighborhood is stirring up controversy.
Daniel Orleman is passionate about ice skating and hockey. He coaches a pee-wee hockey team, and three years ago, he built a 36-by-46 foot temporary ice rink in the backyard of his home on Westwood Road in Fairview Park.
"I use it for stick handling drills, skating drills for myself…friends come over, neighbors will sometimes come over and look at it. It's usually, generally well-accepted," said Orleman.
But the rink is not accepted by everyone. After receiving a complaint, and holding a hearing, Fairview Park's Board of Zoning and Building Appeals informed Daniel that his homemade ice rink violates city code. The ordinance states the rear 28 feet of a homeowner's property needs to be unobstructed from the ground up.
"I should be allowed to use my backyard for my recreational purposes. I'm not throwing wild parties in my backyard, I'm not out 'til all hours of the night," Orleman said.
Kathi Super, who is a nurse, lives right behind Orleman, but in Rocky River. She says not only is the ice rink unsightly, but she feels it's potentially dangerous.
"I have actually covered plenty of hockey players who have hit boards like that and became quadriplegics, so not only the safety of the rink, but the safety of people in my yard, in case a puck would fly," Super said.
She also says in the past, water has flooded her yard when the rink is drained in the spring.
"If I would ever go to sell my home, I believe it decreases my property value; people coming to view my home during the time he has that up," said Super.
"It goes up in mid-December, comes down in mid-March," explained Orleman.
Orleman says he takes precautions to make sure hockey pucks don't fly out of his yard and says as a hockey coach and physical ed teacher, he stresses safety on the ice.
"As long as he's within the city guidelines, I'm fine with it...totally fine," said Super.
"I've been throwing around the option of possibly moving the ice rink from here, shrinking it down, unfortunately, and running it next to the garage and the fence. But I'm also toying around with the idea of taking this issue to court and filing suit against the city," Orleman said.
Fox 8 tried to contact someone from the city of Fairview Park, but we were unsuccessful. The letter the city sent Orleman states that he must contact the city's building department to establish a time frame for when he will comply with the ordinance.

Left our cottage in Lowick in the morning. Walked around Wooler. Did a brief detour into the Breamish Valley and visitor centre there. The Cheviot hills are beautiful as is the river valley. Saw thrush, bullfinch, heard tits and chiffchaff.
Then we went onto Cragside. National Trust Property with over 40 miles of woodland walks (!) Drove around (a necessary option) and stopped off for walk half way round. Alas saw no red squirrels (am rather obsessed with seeing one). Saw a baby rabbit. House impressive and very well presented.
From there we went to Barter books in Alnwick. Wandered around before popping into Sainsbury's for supplies. Arrived at our cottage in North Sunderland, a village adjoining Seahouses, about 4.30pm. Fish and chips from Seahouses for tea. Put a film on from the shelf to watch – The Green Mile.

There are a lot of threats that can put our devices at risk. One of the most dangerous and widespread threats is known as ransomware. This is what cybercriminals use to hijack the victims' files to ask for a ransom so they can be recovered. This is a really serious problem. Today we will talk about a new ransomware variant that uses the .FOX extension. Additionally, this variant goes through a complex process to make sure it infects and encrypts every file successfully.
FOX, a new ransomware variant
The fact that this variant is focused on infecting every file is a good thing for users because the entire PC takes longer to get infected. This means there is more time to act in case the FOX ransomware infects our PC.
This new ransomware variant was discovered by security researcher MalwareHunterTeam and is installed through computers that run Remote Desktop Services and are openly connected to the Internet.
The attackers scan ranges of IP addresses to find open RDP services and then brute-force the password.
This ransomware is a variant of the Matrix ransomware. It uses a server to communicate. Once it is executed, it will connect to the server and start logging various stages of the encryption process.
Two console windows will display the current progress of the encryption. One window shows network addresses that were scanned and the other window displays the status of the encryption process.
We have to mention that at this time this ransomware variant cannot be decrypted for free. This is why we have to be really careful and take measures to avoid getting infected by FOX or any other ransomware variant.
How to protect ourselves against the new ransomware variant
The first thing to do to protect ourselves against ransomware in general is to create backups. This is really important. As we know, this type of malware encrypts all of our files. It forces us to pay a ransom if we want to get out files back. If we have backups, this problem is less serious because our most important files are safe.
Additionally, having security programs and tools is essential. This is how we can protect our files against possible malware threats. There are a lot of options regardless of the OS or platform we are using.
Also, these programs must be kept up to date. Sometimes there are vulnerabilities that are fixed with security patches. Therefore, it is important for our PC to always be up to date. It is also important to update every app we have installed.
Lastly, common sense. In most cases, malware require users to do something. We can get malware via email or by downloading something from an unsafe webpage. We have to pay attention to possible fraudulent emails and the sites we download content from.

Sue Spargo's Eleganza Perle cotton collection is designed to meet the specific needs of hand stitchers, embroiderers and embellishers. Passionate about stitching, Sue set out to design a product of utmost quality in collaboration with Wonderfil Specialty Threads. Eleganza is made from 100% Giza 88, the highest calibre extra long staple Egyptian cotton. Fibers spun with this fiber create a thread of extreme softness, strength and luster. An extra 15% twist has been incorporated into the design of Eleganza resulting in a thread of superior stability, uniformity and sewability. Eleganza is double gassed and mercerized to eliminate build up of lint and snub, largely enriching the appeal of stitchery. Sue has designed a bright, saturated color palette along with a unique line of variegates. Eleganza's collection of variegates contain extra short variegations in order to provide rapid color change on small scale designs.

Blade: S35VN Stainless Steel
Colour: Black DLC Coating
Model: 27BTH
Knife Description:
Now with an American S35VN Blade Steel Featuring DLC Coating* Our Recon I series continues to set a standard for Tactical Folding Knives that's hard to beat. These tough, dependable knives have been a mainstay in the world of tactical knives for many years, with a hard earned reputation for reliability and strength.
The Blades is made out of US S35VN Stainless Steel that's been vacuum heat treated and sub-zero quenched and the Handle features G-10 Laminate Scales artfully contoured and scalloped for a terrific non slip grip. Plus, they are held together by the latest in high strength Mechanical Fasteners and further anchored by a 6061 heat-treated spacer. To compliment their super tough blades and Handles they are equipped with our revolutionary Tri Ad Lock®, which practically precludes lock failure.
To compliment their tactical mission we have given each blade a tough, black, DLC® Coating Finish. This coating offers three major advantages for tactical blades. First, it helps the blade to resist rust. Second, it eliminates glare and light reflections, which may give its user away. And third, it's a superior lubricant, which causes the blade to slip through even tough material with markedly less friction. This means you can cut deeper and far longer than with a non-DLC® coated blade.
To make the Recon 1® Spear-Point Knife as easy to open and carry as possible we have equipped each knife with a Thumb Stud and small extra strong ambidextrous Pocket Clip. ts small size doesn't abrade or irritate the palm under protracted use.

Kayaking and rafting
Thailand's rivers and seas are the perfect places for some paddle power. Kayaking trips often venture inside caves glittering with stalactites and stalagmites, visit limestone islands or pass through mangrove forests. Many companies run trips around Krabi and Phuket while in Kanchanaburi you can power your way along the famous River Kwai.Some of the country's wildest and wettest white-water rafting can be found in the north and west of the country. In Chiang Mai, for example, you can take on the fierce Mae Taeng River, which has grade three and four rapids, with Siam Rivers outfitters.
For more upmarket adventure, learn how to sail your own yacht. Sailing Thailand runs courses around Phuket for those who wish to learn the ropes through to those who want to race. Phuket also has some reasonable rips for surfers, while kiteboarding is starting to take off, literally, in Ko Samui and Hua Hin.
Diving and snorkelling
Peer into the crystal-blue seas that surround Thailand's 3,200km (20,000mi) of coastline and a whole new watery world appears. Snorkelling is the simplest option and nearly every island runs day-trips out to nearby coral reefs. All you need to do is grab a mask, pull on some fins and jump in.To get a closer look at the range of marine life, scuba diving in Thailand is an incredible experience. Day-trips typically include at least two dives, or you can join a Jaguar F-Pace Personal Contract Hire and spend several days diving.The best places to plunge are on the west coast, which includes the Similan Islands. Set in the Andaman Sea, these islands are rated among the top dive sites anywhere in the world. Along with red and purple soft corals, the marine life includes yellow boxfish, triggerfish and octopus.Ko Tao is one of the most popular places to learn to dive, thanks to its shallow waters and abundance of coral. Dive centres run courses that will teach you the basics in a few days, and after that the undersea world is your oyster. Hin Daeng (Red Rock) and Hin Muang (Purple Rock) are remote sites that are off Ko Lanta but are worth seeking out as sightings of manta rays and whale sharks are common.The best time to dive is from November to April, when the waters are at their clearest.
Think you'd make a great Tarzan? Then check out the high-flying, high-speed jungle adventures in the heart of Thailand's stunning countryside.Several resorts in Kanchanaburi have specially built courses that offer visitors the chance to fly from tree to tree while attached to 500m (1640ft) ziplines, then scramble across rope bridges and over spider nets while surrounded by dense jungle. Tree Top Asia runs a Flight of the Gibbon experience that includes up to 26 platforms stretching over 3km that lets thrill-seekers whizz, crawl, fly and swing through the forest canopy. It has bases near Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
If ziplining isn't enough altitude for you, learn to fly at the Nok Aviation Flying Club near Chiang Mai or try a spot of hang-gliding and paragliding in the eastern province of Rayong with the Thai Gliding School.
Biking and cycling
By far the best way to see Thailand's mountain ranges and lush countryside is to jump on a motorbike. An area to the west of Chiang Mai is known as the Mae Hong Son loop and in biker circles it is said to be one of the ultimate routes thanks to endless hairpins, corkscrew twists and awe-inspiring views.Cycling tours are also available, with the best routes running from Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi or Hua Hin. Organised trips can be arranged with companies such as Spice Roads, and these often include sleeping overnight in a homestay with villagers.
Trekking and camping
Meeting ethnic groups and experiencing life in their villages is a highlight of any trip. Trekking tours range from short strolls in a forest up to challenging stomps through thick jungle accompanied by expert guides who are often able to spot hidden creatures that you'd otherwise walk straight past.Thailand's national parks are filled with dragon-toothed mountain peaks, tumbling waterfalls and dense vegetation. Camping out at designated sites means you are utterly immersed in nature. One of the best parks is Khao Yai in the northeast, which includes a giant monsoon forest, dozens of elephants and excellent trekking options.
Elephant riding
Riding through the jungle on the back of an elephant is a memorable, if somewhat jolting, experience. For those who want to understand Thailand's national animal better, it's possible to spend time training as a mahout. The Elephant Palace in Ayuthaya runs special courses that teach guests how to respect and care for the pachyderms.
If you're planning to visit Thailand's beaches rather than its jungle, some of the more remote, rugged islands are ideal for quad-biking. Ko Samet is virtually filled with dirt tracks and so these machines are the best, and most enjoyable, way to get from beach to beach.
Rock climbing
Clambering up a rock face delivers the ultimate vertigo-enducing buzz. If you're a beginner, head for Ko Phi Phi which has relatively simple ways up, but if you are more experienced, then Railay beach in Krabi is rock-climbing nirvana – and has one of the best beaches in Thailand. Andaman Adventure runs rock-climbing, fishing and kayaking packages around the southern islands.

Have you ever had that disastrous feeling when waking up, especially on a Monday, to find that the fat loss program you had finally decided to follow as from this morning is going to be impossible to start?
So, you end up grabbing the first thing you find, which will undoubtedly be something fattening, certainly not a fat loss product, and rush off to work. In addition to your unsuccessful diet debut you are also late for work and you certainly have no time for any weight loss exercises.
Your intention had in fact been, to sit down and take your time with a fat loss product, such as a bowl of bran cereal, which most people know is much healthier than a chocolate bun or croissant.
If you really intend to start a serious weight loss program, there are a few things you should be modifying in your daily living habits as well as your diet. Try setting your alarm a little earlier than usual, this will leave you plenty of time to prepare a healthier breakfast and appreciate what you are eating, by eating slower and digesting properly. You may also find you have an extra fifteen minutes to carry out some weight loss exercises.
It is important to start off the day with a breakfast that includes specific fat loss products, which will replenish you for the rest of the morning, in order to avoid mid-morning cravings.
Although you may not particularly enjoy the aspect of a breakfast composed fat loss products, such as bran flakes, it is essential to eat properly at breakfast. In addition you have a wide range of extremely healthy breakfast foods and fat loss products to choose from.
Go for high fibre foods with some protein content, such as cereals, which are also rich in minerals and vitamins. Choose those cereals with whole flakes and grains, chopped nuts, dried fruit and use skimmed milk or half-skimmed milk, obviously avoid cream or whole milk to avoid excess fat intake. Youll find you will be full of energy and wont be looking around for a bar of chocolate by mid-morning.
Youre up early and have extra time in the morning? Treat yourself to a breakfast such as baked beans on wholemeal toast, which will provide plenty of fibre, you can also add scrambled eggs and mushroom for added proteins, though it is important not to add butter or other fattening condiments. Stick with the fat loss products mentioned above and remember how important it is to keep up with your weight loss exercises.
If youre late for the office one morning, you can always opt for a cereal bar instead of your regular coffee shop, here you may choose from a yoghurt, juice or fruit, which you can eat as you travel to work.
It is always a good idea to keep a spare box of cereal and milk at the office, for emergencies and have a quick breakfast before you start.

Your State of Consciousness Is Your State of Acceptance
By Harold Klemp
An individual's state of consciousness simply means his ability to accept change in his life.
It includes new thoughts and new feelings, and the new behavior and actions that will naturally come as a result.
A state of consciousness is also flexible in that it swells (expands) and shrinks (contracts). Some events in our lives make us full of joy and goodwill, another way of saying an expansion of consciousness. Other events leave us suspicious or hostile or gloomy—a contraction.There are temporary changes in one's state of consciousness as well as more long-lasting ones, the sum of all the lesser changes.

text: "I broke him in" These are words that most people don't like to use. It was an old term the horse breaker would use often breaking the horses spirit in order to ride him no different to an elephant trainer or a lion tamer . Over the years we have all learned all animals can be trained with a kind hand. Fighting with any animal let alone one that out weights you does'nt make sense . However I still use the term. You see I break habits and if you know horses you will know they are a creatures of habit. If a horse bucks you off once there's a fair chance it will happen twice just as if he kicks or bites or refuses to go in the trailer or rares up and flips over backwards shattering your bones underneath him as he squashes you to the ground. Breaking habits, that's what I deal with every other day. I don't use pain or harm in my technique. Instead I use the one thing everyone of us animals knows as an instinct, fear. The same reason your child won't speak back to you , your dog won't bite and you won't walk across a highway blind folded. You could call it respect but the base of all of what we do is lined with fear. You may need a minute to think about what I am saying . Whether a horse bucks the owner off out of fear, pain or shear nastiness is what I have to determine when that horse is presented to me. You see, I am often the last chance this horse is going to have. The trainers / owners have failed to understand this horse and yet I can tell you in 1 hour if I can break your horses habits or not with no BS . I work hard and fast and I get the job done through my Greater Fear technique . I Have seen the look on some owners faces when they watch me pressure their animal but I'll tell you now if your horse's name is Chocipooiwoochi I'm probably not the trainer you are looking for . However I will fix your horse in 7 days and save it from getting its head cut off on a slaughter room floor. I'm not your typical trainer. I want you to watch me fix your horse while teaching you how to keep it fixed learning all my techniques . I am not your typical clinician. I don't have tricks or gimmicks to sell you. With a stick, a white feed sack, a 6×4 tarp and 20 feet of rope I can fix any horse. I've proven it time and time again . I Have been told I have a gift. I believe that gift is mine to share. I will show and teach anyone that is willing to learn. Rather than put myself on a pedestal, I would rather you stand beside me together we will break habits .

I have just scheduled another for March 22, 2014. In this next one we will be photographing in San Francisco's Chinatown during one of the busy market days of the week. March is still early enough in the spring that the number of tourists is fewer than usual, so there will be a more intimate feel to the neighborhood. As always, there will be surprises because we never know what fun we will discover.

I want to eat Pizza Sub
I want to eat Pizza Sub now! I can't wait until Thursday when me and hubby are going to his bowling tournament and order one. I want to make our own, so we don't need to pay the amount that can make us eat at least 4 pieces.
I searched online for the recipe and bought the ingredients to make one. I think I just make it good. Although, mine doesn't turn out like this because I never put some peppers or onions but just the pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni and mushroom. I still enjoyed the Pizza Sub I made.
Now, that I can make one I don't need to buy and spend more amount just to eat one. While munching this delicious dinner. I am also lucky that I did find a paid search marketing online. I will look more into it and hopefully that it'll give me ways to earn extra income.

Dell is rounding out its cloud CRM (customer relationship management) service with the addition of Salesforce.com's Service Cloud customer-service software, the companies have announced.
The service joins Salesforce.com's core CRM sales application in Dell's Cloud Business Applications offering, which also incorporates the Boomi integration framework for connecting the software to on-premise systems or other cloud services.
It's available now, but only in the US, Dell said. Package pricing begins at $565 (£360) per month, with implementation services starting at $8,000 (£5,000).
Salesforce.com and Dell's relationship makes sense for both the vendors and their customers, said analyst Denis Pombriant, managing principal of Beagle Research.
"For Dell, it gives them another way to add value to the relationship with their customers," he said. "Rather than just selling hardware, it's something that lets customers see them as a solution provider."
Meanwhile, the partnership opens up another channel of distribution for Salesforce.com, he said. "This business is all about distribution at this point. The more ways you've got to get to market the better."
Given the fairly small incremental cost to Salesforce.com of adding a new user, having a company like Dell expend effort reselling its products to the low end of the market is a good thing, Pombriant added.
Moreover, it's logical for Dell to choose the Service Cloud as its latest Salesforce.com offering, given the economy, Pombriant said. "It's still hard to get people to put down money for goods. It's more important than ever to do things to satisfy your customers and keep them from going elsewhere."
While smaller Dell customers may have less use for Service Cloud features such as the contact centre technology gained through Salesforce.com's 2008 acquisition of Instranet, its more recent purchase of Assistly provides a simpler helpdesk platform that would be a good fit, Pombriant added.
