Anegada is 15 square miles (38 square kilometers) and even though very sparsely populated, in terms of size actually the second largest BVI. It is a bit to big to explore by foot. You can take taxis, rent a car or explore the island on a scooter, in our opinion the most fun option. There are few rental places right by the ferry dock and the Anegada Reef Hotel and the rentals are suprisingly affordable (about 50$ per day).
Most of Anegada's roads are dirt/sand roads. When it is dry they are pretty good, but watch out for potholes. And don't worry about getting lost, there is basically one street that runs around the whole island in a big circle, you cannot really get lost. Also the rental places will hand you a nice small map.

Specialist printing company Print-Leeds has moved premises in the first part of the company's expansion and £5m investment plan which will double its production capability.
The company has moved to a new four acre site in Bramley, Leeds half a mile from its original premises in Pudsey. The new site comprises of two 30,000 sq ft units, one of which Print-Leeds will fully occupy by the end of this year.
The office, production facilities and the digital division have already moved and the company's current Heidelberg 7-colour litho press is due to be dismantled and moved during the Christmas break.
Print-Leeds prides itself on being one of the most technically advanced printers in the UK, constantly investing in new machinery to open up new markets and better serve its clients. The company acquired a wet glue label printer five years ago which trebled its turnover.
The company has ordered a new Heidelberg XL106 7-colour with coater which will be installed alongside the existing press and both will be up and running for the first week in January. This will give the firm double the production capacity, streamline production, provide greater flexibility and will bring the all-important contingency option in-house for the production of wet glue labels, composite tube wraps, litho box laminates and all the litho plastics work.
This is a £5m investment for Print-Leeds and another milestone in the company's long history.
Rod Fisher, managing director of Print-Leeds said: "It is the wet glue label division that has spearheaded this expansion programme as demand rises for this type of printing. Despite extending our previous premises when we acquired S&C Labels we have outgrown the building and its production capability. Tanda Works gives us a lot of options: room for two presses, a newly housed digital division, a specific finishing department, paper storage and we will be able to add a PSL line. Its exciting times."
Property consultant Eddisons has completed on the sale of Print-Leeds' old premises and the purchase of the new, with a combined sale price of £2.8m.
Steven Jones, director of agency at Eddisons, said: "We are seeing an escalating demand for quality industrial space in the right location and it was satisfying to be able to assist a local Leeds business in both selling their existing premises and relocating to a great new site."
He added: "The new Print-Leeds site has two units and the neighbouring Anchor Works on Swinnow Lane will be available for any 30,000 sq ft occupiers looking for freehold or leasehold premises."
Eddisons has seen a recent influx of new freehold sales instructions in Leeds. Mr Jones continued: "There is particularly good demand in the market currently. Yet again we expect to see all vacant possession opportunities being snapped up in the short term due to the lack of development and supply in the market."

Telepathic children and dolphins
I am told
that telepathic, sometimes telekinetic children are starting to be born
into families all over the world. Some are disabled, others not. All
though, can reach out with their thoughts to one another, sensitive
adults... and dolphins. The dolphins, apparently, are concerned about
tension on our planet. They feel the best way to reduce it is not through
protest but love. They would like us all today, at 4pm GMT (UK 5.00pm;
Washington, 11.00am; California 8.00am) today, to spend 15 minutes directing
warmth and forgiveness towards our world leaders. This will help to
heal their hurt 'inner children' and make wiser choices.
Beaming love, warmth, and forgiveness
I dutifully joined in with yesterday's effort to beam love and
warmth to all world leaders. It doesn't seem to have made a difference
yet but I am sure the Dolphins and the psychic children are right to
say we should keep trying. Even when we hear about stupid deaths through
"friendly fire" or tragic attacks on innocent civilians, we ought to
turn our outrage into forgiveness. Because anger only creates more anger;
just as fear creates more fear; and violence, more violence. Whereas
Cetacean friends politically neutral
Dolphins have been helping to detect mines in the Gulf. But I
am reliably informed that, despite this, they are politically neutral
- rather like the Swiss in World War II. According to the psychic children,
our Cetacean friends have two messages for us. They say the people of
our world stand at the brink of an incredible awakening. The dolphins
and whales are due to play a critical role in this. They would also
like ships to use less "Low Frequency Sonar". It gives them headaches.
Psychic children
Several people have asked who the psychic children actually ARE.
But I figure, if you are a young person with true psychic powers, the
last thing you want is the world beating a path to your door. Anyway,
it is not as if we are talking about a club with members. A Psychic
child is any child with deep intuition. There are many. Although, when
brought up by folk who think violence is an acceptable way to stop violence,
most swiftly lose their sensitivity.
Jupiter's change of direction
As Jupiter's change of direction begins to take effect we should detect a change of mood across the globe. Soon, there will be more hope, more faith and more forgiveness.
Happy Birthday!Russell Crowe, (born April 7, 1964) People born under Aries are impulsive, excitable and hot-headed. They speak when they ought to keep their mouth shut. They create trouble just for the sake of it. Unless of course they happen to be exceptions to the rule.

Every since I got my PSP, i've always kept the firmware up to date – for no other reason than I like having the latest and greatest. I don't know why.
So, after following the instructions HERE I'm back down from 3.x firmware to a 1.5.
Now just need to work out what to do with it!!

I assure you," He said, 'unless you are converted and become like children, you will never get into the kingdom from heaven' [Matthew 18:4]
Union with the living God is child's play. Listen to this debate between two of my preschoolers.
It was early evening. We often played musical beds at bedtime because the younger children liked the security of a sibling or two falling asleep with them, especially when older brothers and sisters were still up and having fun. So it happened that I was lying down on Emily's bed nursing an infant while she played with my hair and sucked her thumb. Five-year-old David was almost asleep across the room. His breathing was slow and deep. The only other sound in the peaceful room came from a fan that created just enough white noise to drown out the other kids' voices.
David suddenly sat straight up in bed, popped his eyes open and yelled excitedly,"Someone just called my name. I think it was God!"
Emily took her thumb out of her mouth and lisped, "Who is God?"
I turned my head to look at her and smiled, "You know, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
Emily was still puzzled, "You mean the priest at church?"
"No," I responded, "The God that fills the whole universe."
Emily took her thumb out of her mouth and said very dismissively,"Oh, Him. I know Him." Then she closed her eyes and stuck her thumb back in her mouth. Discussion closed.
I barely held in my laughter. This little squirt took for granted her close relationship with the Living God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. God is close to babies and little children. His relationship with them is not complicated, as natural as breathing. They are simply His children; He loves them and they reflect love back.
David interrupted and added joyfully,"Well, He called my name!"
Emily opened her eyes and stated very authoritatively but in a nasal, little girl voice,"It was just your imagination, Daaave." Then she closed her eyes and started sucking her thumb again.
David was upset. I countered her statement,"It could be God, Emily. The Holy Spirit lives in our hearts and does communicate with us." David was satisfied and he lay back down to sleep. Emily just closed her eyes in dismissal and popped her thumb back in her mouth.
I was astounded; one of my preschoolers had heard the voice of God and the other took a relation with the Heavenly Father completely in her stride as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Have Faith Like Children
Maybe a deep connection with Christ is natural; adults just complicate the simplicity of God. The problem is tapping into and living out from my core where God has inscribed His fingerprint on my heart. It is hidden in my deepest self. Actually, if we can block out our own ego and selfishness, and simply stop and listen, we too can hear the voice of Christ and allow Him to draw us close to His heart.
The experience of little children and the saints are really true. If you are a secret cynic, or simply someone like me who tried to no avail to connect to God with only my own strength, why don't you give God the permission to save you and transform you?

From Latina
EXCLUSIVE: Lila Downs on New Album & How the 2016 Election Impacted Her
By: Daniela Galvez
Lila Downs has blessed us with another album: Salón, Lágrimas y Deseo.
We spoke to the Mexican singer about the inspiration behind her latest album, raising her son, and how the 2016 election impacted her life personally.
Read it all in our exclusive interview below:
What inspired the name of your latest album?
Well, I think it was a little hard this time because I was really angry about the political situation in the U.S. I really had faith that the racists were not going to win, and so I think I was really disappointed and depressed with along with, I imagine, thousands of people who also had voted for Hillary. I gathered myself and thought, 'I think I just need to make the choice of looking for songs that represent something like strength and maybe not confrontation, but yet some kind of a dialogue with the love relationship I have with both countries.' I am constantly in love with Mexico and with the beauty of Mexico, as well with some of the ideals and the way of life in the U.S. However, I also am incredibly disappointed and saddened. My heart has been broken. I think what the album is mainly about, is having a broken heart, about who we want to be, and who we represent. Trying to find songs that somehow represent 'the love' and 'the unlove' '" in Spanish we say 'el desamor.' The person that you fall in love with, it's so passionate and so intense, but then the 'unlove' or the disappointment is just as intense. I think when we finished composing a number of the songs I realized that the album was incredibly feminine. I guess in the sense that it was from my perspective as a woman, and I think that's really what saved me this time. Each time an album saves me through music and I am able to voice my anger and my frustrations and my dreams.
Your single 'Peligrosa' is all about women empowerment. Can you tell us a little bit about that?
I think that it's the notion that women are somehow dangerous if they're leaders, if they think, if they have certain desires, and ambitions. It's also the notion of looking at men in those same positions. Of course, they're not dangerous; they're just a normal guy. I think that it's about those relationships that we had, that we're not quite sure what we're dealing with. I think that's happening right now. I mean in government and in day-to-day life. It's a confrontational time and it's scary. At the same time, I feel like it's a moment when finally women are really coming out and being more forward about the injustices towards our gender. This is really important. So it's exciting and that's what the song is kind of about.
In order to see changes in societal views, it's important that parents are guiding their kids to grow up to be socially conscious. How are you raising your son, Benito, to not only believe in, but also stand up for gender equality?
It really is a challenge. My son goes to a very alternative school. He goes to a Waldorf school. I would say it's a very hippie-oriented school. What they do is they go on little excursions up to the country. They don't learn to read until they're seven-years-old. We have a lot in common with the parents that are taking their kids there. It's a very small school, so there aren't too many kids. I have found that my son comes home to me and he's crying and he says, 'The girls, my girlfriends, are laughing at me because I like to play with dolls.' It really breaks my heart. It really makes me think, 'What's wrong with us? Why can't we get this part together?'…

Biomedical Science, BSc Hons
I loved my course, it was challenging and stimulating and every single lecturer was passionate about their material, and it was obvious. For me, there's nothing more important than being taught by academics who are passionate about their research and want that to come across to their students. I would seriously recommend Warwick for anyone considering Biomedical Science or any other Biological sciences.
Interesting course so far with great labs and great teaching staff. Lovely to have a seperate campus too
Biomedical Science, BSc Hons
Although I do enjoy my course, it has many flaws. One of the biggest ones- lectures don't really help,way too much information for 50min

Mice Pest Control
Call us on 0777 9271 680
About Mice
Mice in your home property or business can be quite stressful. They can spread disease, cause damage, particularly in food areas.
The constant gnawing can cause serious damage to pipes insulation floorboards insulation in cavities as they shred items to make nesting materials, they can also cause damage that can be very dangerous by chewing through electrical cables in premises and also cause untold amounts of damage to stored vehicles and electrical equipment in garages workshops etc.
Mice in Home
In a domestic household, they can contaminate food stocks in kitchens and store rooms when they gain entry, causing a serious risk to health with their constant fouling and urinating, especially considering they have probably crawled through countless amounts of dirt and germ-laden areas on their way into your property in the first place. Unfortunately, they can also bring with them other disease carrying insects like ticks fleas and mites etc.
- They can be quite noisy when in the loft or banging around inside cupboards in the kitchen late at night. I have often turned up at the customer's property with them thinking they have rats because of the loud noise in the loft to discover it's mice.
- The mouse's ability to get anywhere because of its flexible skeleton allows them to disappear under doors and escape down the side of radiator pipes etc with just the smallest of gaps needed for them to access your property.
- Unlike rats, mice are quite inquisitive little creatures, they will explore everything and get into every little item in your cupboard. Searching for food or nesting materials.
- They can breed very quickly, having between 7-8 litters of young per year depending on the environment and climate etc.
- Before you know it you may have a serious infestation on your hands. This is when it's time to call professional pest control.
- You may have tried your own methods first with the shop bought traps or sonic repellents electronic gadgets etc. But when these items fail as they often do it's time to start using professional grade rodenticides after all other methods may have been attempted to eradicate the problem.
Afterwards, when the problem is solved it's time to start proofing up the building to stop rodents from gaining any access in the future.
Signs of Mice
Signs you may have an infestation of mice and things to look out for include…
- Droppings and urine in cupboards or under kitchen plinths etc, check your old tins in cupboards for rusty patches on the top, this could be from urine?
- A strong smell of an ammonia-like substance.
- Noise from chewing gnawing and fighting etc late at night.
- Greasy marks in backs of cupboards and areas where they are travelling etc.
If you suspect you may have a problem with mice or any other rodents in your property. Please don't hesitate to call South Yorkshire Pest Control any time for a free no obligation consultation.
Before any work or any treatments are carried out a thorough site assessment would need to be done with the owner-occupier of property business etc present. We can then work together to achieve an acceptable and affordable resolution to any type of infestation of pests.

Economic Recovery Needed To Enhance Food Security
After a half century of decline, agricultural commodity prices rose with oil prices in the 1970s, and again for a decade until 2014. Food prices rose sharply from the middle of the last decade, but have been declining since 2012, and especially since last year, triggering concerns of declining investments by farmers.
Earlier predictions of permanently high food prices have thus become less credible. Higher prices were said to reflect slowing supply growth as demand continues to grow with rising food needs for humans and livestock, and bio-fuel mandates introduced a decade ago on both sides of the North Atlantic.
Prices had become increasingly volatile, with successively higher peaks in 2007-08, 2010-11 and mid-2012. Some food price volatility had its origins in climate change-related extreme weather events in key exporting countries.
'Financialization', including linking commodity derivatives with other financial asset markets, also worsened price volatility in the second half of the last decade.
With three food price spikes over five years, food insecurity was widely seen as a major challenge. Higher and more volatile food prices seemed to threaten the lives of billions. But the FAO food price index peaked in 2012, years after the 2007-2008 food price spike triggered many mass protests.
Official development assistance for agriculture has fallen for decades despite the expressed desire by many developing countries to raise such investments. Meanwhile, rich countries have continued to subsidize and protect their farmers, undermining food production in developing countries, and transforming Africa from a net food exporter in the 1980s into a net food importer in the new century.
Food investments for economic recovery
Meanwhile, economic recovery efforts are needed more than ever in the face of protracted economic stagnation. A global counter-cyclical recovery strategy in response to the crisis should contain three main elements.
First, stimulus packages in both developed and developing countries to catalyze and 'green' national economies. Second, international policy coordination to ensure that developed countries' stimulus packages not only ensure recovery in the Northbut also have strong developmental impacts on developing countries, through collaborative initiatives between governments of rich and poor countries. Third, greater financial support to developing countries for their sustainable development efforts, not only aid but also to more effectively mobilize domestic economic resources.
We need more investments that will help put the world on a more sustainable path such as in renewable energy and ecologically sensitive agriculture. After well over half a decade of economic stagnation, with developing countries slowing down dramatically since late 2014, it is still urgent to prioritize economic recovery measures, but also other needed initiatives. Preferably, recovery strategies should help lay the foundations for sustainable development.
Given the large unmet needs for infrastructure, more appropriate investments can contribute to sustainable growth. Such investments should improve the lot of poor and vulnerable groups and regions. In other words, investments should lead to the revival of growth that is both ecologically sustainable and socially inclusive.
Enhancing food security and agricultural productivity should be an important feature of stimulus packages in developing countries dependent on agriculture. Re-invigorating agricultural research, development and extension is typically key to this effort.
The Green Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s – with considerable government and international philanthropic support – increased crop yields and food production. However, the efforts for wheat, maize, and rice were not extended to other crops, such as other major indigenous food crops and those associated with arid land agriculture.
We need a renewed effort to promote sustainable food agricultural productivity. Public investments, including social protection, can and must provide the support needed to accelerate needed farmer investments. There are many socially useful public works, but priorities must be appropriate, considering national and local conditions.

Yes. Please take into account our largest sheet size is oversize A4 (320mm x 230mm). If your artwork has commercial potential and you would like Artforme to sell your products, we would definitely like to talk to you.
I'm a graphic designer that is always looking for different products for my clients, does Artforme work directly with graphic designer agencies?
Yes. We have good working relationships with a number of design studios and work collaboratively to create products that will work well in letterpress and will delight your clients. We offer studio tours to design students and interested designers – by appointment only.
Do you print in CMYK or Pantone (PMS) colours?
Normally just PMS colours, although there is no reason why work cannot be reproduced in four colour process via letterpress. This is ideal for those looking for a retro look.
How do I set up my artwork files for letterpress?
Letterpress printing does have specific artwork requirements. Visit our artwork page for information on how to set up artwork files for letterpress.
How am I going to select colours accurately for my stationery?
We can meet to agree your preferred colours or send you a Pantone colour book when you have accepted our quote and decided to proceed with printing. You can select from nearly 1,000 colours – just send the book back to us in the express post envelope provided when you have selected your colours.
Do you have minimum/maximum order quantities?
Most wedding stationery quantities are from around 30 upwards, so low quantities are no problem. There are no maximum quantities.
Do you deliver anywhere in Australia?
Do you deliver internationally?
How long will it take for my tailor made stationery (wedding/event/corporate stationery) to be printed and delivered?
Normally around 8-10 working days from receipt of approved artwork.
How long will it take for my off the shelf stationery to be delivered?
Orders are processed within 2 working days from receipt and payment (providing items are in stock). Delivery times depend on the destination.
What paper stocks do you use?
We use a range of smooth or textured stocks including 100% cotton stocks and boards with a recycled content. Contact us if you would like to see printed samples.
What is gsm and how do I know what to pick?
GSM is the abbreviation of 'grams per square metre' which is one measurement used to describe and specify stocks. Bulky 600gsm, 100% cotton stocks are popular as are textured stocks. These tend to show off the deep letterpress impression well. Contact us for advice on the best stock for your stationery and if you would like to see printed samples.
Why would I use Artforme when there are cheaper, digital alternatives?
Clients use Artforme when they want elegant stationery for their wedding, stationery with visual and tactile appeal for their business or traditionally printed stationery for personal use.
Why can't I get an instant quote for wedding stationery?

SANDISFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The company that wants to expand a natural gas pipeline through state land in Berkshire County has agreed to pay $1.2 million for the right.
The agreement announced Thursday settles a lawsuit brought by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, which wants an easement through Otis State Forest in Sandisfield to expand an existing pipeline.
The settlement includes $300,000 for the Department of Conservation and Recreation to identify and acquire additional conservation land in the vicinity; $300,000 toward mitigation and improvements to Otis State Forest; $40,000 for the fair market value of pipeline easements; and an additional $640,000 for environmental monitors and other mitigation.
The federally-approved Connecticut Expansion Project extends existing pipeline infrastructure in Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut, adding four miles of new underground pipeline in Massachusetts.

A civilised rally against debt in London 14 May 2011
Posted by Ampers in Festivities, Politics on Thursday, 31 March 2011
Join their Official Page here for updates and debate: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rally-Against-Debt/215405205140114?sk=wall
A well mannered, polite rally for civilised people who don't wish to see
their hard earned money being spent on pointless government
initiatives and instead would like government spending
to actually fall and our national debt to be cut.
They don't think that it's fair for us to continue borrowing money to live a lifestyle that we simply can't afford – burdening our children with unnecessary debt that they will have to pay back.
Any visits to Fortnum and Mason's by protestors will only be to marvel at their selection of quality goods and perhaps make the occasional purchase.
Bonfires will be strictly forbidden: it's out of season anyway
Trips to see Vodafone and other high street chains will result in congratulations to the company for providing jobs and growth in the UK.
And a caveat on their Facebook site: "Offensive posts will be deleted. This is an event for people who want to come to our event to support what we stand for, not an opportunity for defamation or hate. We reserve the right to delete what we do not like and don't really mind if you have a problem with this. It is our event after all, not yours."

A fascinating South African newsletter
I get this regular newsletter from PeterJasie in South Africa. (Make sure you click on the English link!) He is retired and spends a lot of his time holidaying all around Southern Africa and his newsletter is a mixture of useful information, travel information, recipes, often a "letter from Zimbabwe" Mirna van Wyk articles (she is an educational psychologist from Stellenbosch) and lost of other snippets of information.
Here is an extract from his latest newsletter – but first, one of his photographs.
Venda Myths and Traditions
The Venda people were one of the last black tribes to migrate south of the Limpopo River. When they moved in to South Africa they found a beautiful, bountiful area, which they promptly named Venda (pleasant place) and settled there.
Lanky, yet graceful, the Venda people are warm and friendly. Their history began in the valleys and mountains of Limpopo Province, where their forebears established a great civilisation centred round Mapungubwe.
Though ruled by kings, the position of women in Venda culture is unusual in Africa in that they are encouraged to occupy senior positions in society. It is common for a woman to inherit her father's estate where there is no apparent male heir.
Children and the elderly have their own role to play. This is linked to the recognition and worship of the ancestors. Having just joined the earthly plane, the children are still close to the ancestors. The elderly are also close to the ancestors because they will soon join the spiritual realm in death.
In Venda tradition there are many sacred sites, especially Lake Fundudzi high in the Soutspansberg Mountains. Even today, it is believed this is where the White Python – the god of fertility – lives.
Lake Fundudzi
A must see is definitely the sacred "Lake Fundudzi" situated in the Thathe Vondo forest, the home of the mythical python and white crocodile. The python is the god of fertility in the Venda tradition and the legend tells us that a Venda man had a broken heart because of the loss of a great love. In his sorrow he walked into Lake Fundudzi at which time he turned into a python. Young virgin Venda maidens still perform the famous Domba-python dance in this area to honour this god of fertility. It is also believed that the white crocodile lives in this Lake. This crocodile might have really existed because this Lake is still today populated by large crocodiles, and an albino crocodile might have once lived in the lake where young, virgin Venda maidens were once offered to them. Lake Fundudzi is surrounded by mountains and special permission has to be obtained to visit this sacred Lake. No-one washes or swims in this lake.
Sacred Forest
Also in the Thathe Vondo forest is the so-called "Sacred Forest". The Thathe Vondo forest has giant hardwoods (jakkelsbessie, yellowwood), a wide variety of ferns, creepers and a wealth of plants and trees which makes the forest nearly impenetrable on foot. The Sacred Forest is a mystical place, where no ordinary Venda person may walk and as a visitor one may not walk off the dirt track going through the forest – hikers are not allowed. In the Sacred Forest, two mythical creatures keep guard namely the white lion (the spirit of Nethathe an important chief) and the thunder and lighting bird called Ndadzi which according to myths flies on the wings of thunder. One can speculate further about this bird and its origin, and the origin of the Venda people.
The Domba is not a tourist attraction but a ceremony with deep meanings, and it is not possible to witness many parts of it (teaching, ritual bath.). The public is only able to see the dancing which is the occasion for men to choose future wives for their nephews or sons. To see such a dance one gets goose bumps running up and down your spine looking at the bodies movies together to their own rhythm.
This is traditionally a male dance in which each player has a pipe made out of a special indigenous type of bamboo growing only in a few places around Sibasa and Thohoyandou but unfortunately these have almost disappeared. It is quite something to listen to the pipe which has only one note and they have to play in turn in such a way that they build a melody.
The Tshikona is a royal dance, each sovereign or chief has his own Tshikona band. Tshikona is played at various occasions for funerals, wedding or religious ceremonies, this can be considered as the Venda "national music/dance
The Tshigombela is a female dance usually performed by married women, this is a festive dance sometimes played at the same time as Tshikona.
Tshifhasi is similar to Tshigombela but performed by young unmarried girls (Khomba) – womenfolk.
Die ware Suid Afrika – vandag (in die Engels se taal)
The song is sung in Afrikaans but you don't have to know the language to understand what it is all about, the video explains it very well
Now ask yourself what story does the video tell and reflect, is it the truth or is it a lie – ask yourself, is it really happening in South Africa as we watch?
Read what Wikipedia has to say about the deaths of Afrikaans farmers. Here is an extract from Wikipedia to save you following the link:
Genocide Watch has theorized that farm attacks constitute early warning signs of genocide against Afrikaners and has criticised the South African government for its inaction on the issue, pointing out that the murder rate for them ("ethno-European farmers" in their report, which also included non-Afrikaner farmers of European race) is four times that of the general South African population. There are 40,000 white farmers in South Africa. Since 1994 close to three thousand farmers have been murdered in thousands of farm attacks, with many being brutally tortured and/or raped. Some victims have been burned with smoothing irons or had boiling water poured down their throats.
I was brought up amongst Afrikaners as a child and although they can be a prickly race and if you get three of them on a street corner talking politics, you will never get one agreeing with another. Having said that, they are a warm and friendly people. One story was, my mother with her British accent was travelling a long journey on a train and five Afrikaners (a family) got on the train. When they found out she was a Brit, they exchanged a few polite sentences with her, and lapsed in their Afrikaans and ignored her. When it was lunchtime, they got out their large hamper and automatically set out six places. They wouldn't have dreamed of not sharing their food, even with an accursed Brit (in the Boer War approximately 27,000 Boer Women and children died in Kitchener's "Konsentrasie Kampe") – I will leave you to work out the translation. Here's a tip – Hitler copied the idea from the British and used it in WW2.
Finally, Look at our British Parliament and the way our politicians behave. Would you like foreigners to look at our parliament and say, "look at those Brits, that's the sort of people they are". Or would you rather them look at parliament and say "look at those politicians, the poor Brits having to put up with them". If you are American, just transpose Americans for Brits. It is very much the same in South Africa, the shower running the country pre 1994 did not reflect the white races, and as you watch the video and wonder how these killers can get away with three thousand murders – and wonder further whether the ANC government have turned a blind eye, reflect that the people in Government do not reflect most of the black races at all. Just like Britain. Just like America. Look at Iraq, our governments are even worse than the ANC!
An army of Lions lead by a sheep?
Posted by Ampers in A Rant, Politics, Uncategorized on Saturday, 19 March 2011
An old African saying reads: An army of sheep led by a lion can defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.
The question to ask here is, which of the following seems like a sheep, and which one seems and sounds like a lion?
David Cameron – sheep or lion?
Nick Clegg – sheep or lion?
Ed Milliband – sheep or lion?
Nigel Farage – sheep or lion?
Take a look at this website – I show an extraction below:
Annual Costs of EU Membership
The net cost of the EU to Britain is £20 billion pa. But the actual cost is much more than that.
The European Union costs us £65 billion gross every year.
That's about £1,000 each every year for every man, woman and child in the UK. And it increases every year.
Direct and Indirect Costs of the EU
Estimates of the true cost of the EU are difficult to come by. MPs have called many times for a cost-benefit analysis, to prove or disprove the benefits of membership. Successive Governments, both Labour and Conservative, have refused, on the grounds that the "benefits" are self-evident. In truth they are afraid of what such a study would show. The Bruges Group have finally produced an authoritative study.
The second question to ask is what can you do with an extra £1,000 for you, an extra £1,000 for your spouse, and an extra £1,000 for each of your children each and every year? Or, to put it another way, what could our country do with an extra £65B each year to go towards paying off our debts?
This is a very hard question to ponder over, so I'll go away and leave you to it!

We're all now familiar with the way the online exchange market eBay works. However, it should also be seen as an example of how unregulated free markets can work. In 2010, 90 million people from across the world, often unable to speak the same language, and totally unknown to each other due to adopted pseudonyms traded $2000-worth of goods every single second.
Without any government input when it came to advertising standards or fair trading, or any of the usual regulations we see with conventional off-line markets, a whopping 98% of trades managed to get a positive rating. This shows that trust can be built between and amongst people who will never meet, and may even conceal their identities.
You may argue that this is simply because of the rating system, something put in place by the eBay designers, and that this provides a justification for a similar government scheme. But then eBay, like all other markets is entirely voluntary – we buy at our own risk but try to reduce it. Even if eBay had not built in its own ratings system and provided free Buyer Protection, the huge demand for these services would have prompted someone to design them in any case.
Whilst government may wish to get involved, the chances are it would be a waste of taxpayer money, and would displace both consumer wariness and voluntary approaches more open to innovation. Furthermore, regulations always respond to the last disaster. But consumer ratings are likely to be more immediate and effective, whilst also changing seller behaviour without the need for intrusive or expensive top-down rules governing everyone else too.

Effective Revenue Cycle Management in the New Healthcare Environment
By David Zetter, ZetterHealthCare, National Society of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants
Revenue is the lifeblood of any business and any significant impact to the revenue of a business could mean many things, including closure. Therefore, revenue cycle management is important, but even more so to medical practices because the source of the revenue can come from so many different people and payors. What is even more of a concern is that the payors have many rules by which a practice and its providers have to comply with in order to receive the remuneration the practice so rightly deserves.
Yet, the healthcare landscape is changing. And through this change, a higher percentage of this revenue is the responsibility of the patient, hence the term, consumer driven healthcare. Most of us are paying more for healthcare today than we did yesterday, last year and in years prior. Because the landscape is changing, practices can no longer run "business as usual." The policies, systems and tactics previously utilized in the revenue cycle management process will no longer ensure that the funds will show up in your bank account or in your mailbox. Changes in the industry now require changes in billing and collections.Click here or on the graphic above to read the entire story.

First published May 10th, 2007… It's interesting to note what is said at the end of this—the sense of a "pause" coming before the "Storm" would begin to swirl in greater and greater chaos as we begin to approach the "Eye." I believe we are entering that chaos now, which also serves a purpose. More on that tomorrow…
IN our last few concert tours of the United States and Canada, [1]My wife and our children at that time we have noticed that no matter where we go, strong sustained winds have followed us. At home now, these winds have barely taken a break. Others I have spoken to have also noticed an increase of winds.
It is a sign, I believe, of the presence of our Blessed Mother and her Spouse, the Holy Spirit. From the story of Our Lady of Fatima:

At today's high school, a flash drive is an essential supply. That's one reason why when Allen Central High School found itself in need, Kentucky Power provided 100 4G flash drives to the Floyd County school. Students are encouraged to use theirs to save their work completed in the school computer lab. It's one way we can support education in the communities we serve.
Ashland District line mechanics Chris Youngman, Austin Martin and Derrick McKinney participate in Career Day at Wurtland Elementary School in Greenup County. Students love checking out the bucket truck and asking the Kentucky Power employees questions about the work they do to supply power.
When Kentucky Power decided it was time to retire "Big Tom," a 2001 bucket truck used in the field, the company donated the still useful vehicle to Ashland Community and Technical College for use in its Lineman Program. The truck now is used to help students learn to work on utility poles and practice bucket truck rescue techniques.
Sheena Hensley, a customer service representative in Kentucky Power's Hazard District, is one of several employees to volunteer each year for the annual Senior Games. Kentucky Power has served as the primary corporate sponsor of the games since they began in 2002.
Energy efficiency pays. Just ask supporters of the Greenup County War Memorial. They have received nearly $1,200 in incentives and matching funds from Kentucky Power after installing energy-saving LED lights at the memorial. The lights have cut their bills by more than 50 percent.
Richard Hess with Kentucky Power in Ashland reads to second graders at Olive Hill Elementary School in Carter County on Read to Me Day. Kentucky Power has participated in the annual community event since 2003 in an effort to support local schools, share safety tips and promote the importance of reading.
Kentucky Power's External Affairs Manager Jimmy Keeton explains proper tree planting to a customer in Ashland, one of many to claim free tree saplings on Kentucky Power's annual Tree Day event celebrating Earth Day and Arbor Day.
Hazard District Line Coordinator Glen Combs helps a competitor in the annual Senior Games participate in the ring toss. Kentucky Power is a proud sponsor of the annual event.
Kentucky Power employees help a senior athlete compete in the annual Senior Games softball throw. Kentucky Power volunteers measure throws and assist participants during the games.
Pikeville High School teacher Traci Tackett shows off some 3-D designs created by her students with a 3-D printer. She received a Kentucky Power Teacher Vision Grant to fund the 3-D projects.
Dusty Roll, Kentucky Power's region forestry supervisor, helps pass out saplings during Kentucky Power's annual Tree Day.
Lawrence Co. Schools is the first system in Kentucky to benefit from an American Electric Power Foundation project to boost STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Kentucky Power awarded the $815,000 Credits Count grant to Ashland Community & Technical College to launch the STEM program in Lawrence County.
Kentucky Power employees play an important and active part in the communities where they live and work.

With her new film Sandcastle Writer/Director Shomshuklla Das paints a fantastic tale of scope and depth following the journey of emergence of an Indian woman named Sheila evolving from a moth to a butterfly. Maya parades around trying to show Sheila how to broaden her horizons. Sandcastle is a drama, women talking, discussing ideas, goals and dreams.
The first thing I observed about Sandcastle is the difficulty women in India have in being accepted in society as having equal impact and importance with there male counterparts, Sheila has a boyfriend who is not supportive. She wants to go to a writer's meeting and her man won't let her go. Her friend gives interesting advice "If you let people always walk over you they always will." ":Shake off the old, take a rebirth." Allegorically, this applies not only to women in India, but to all people worldwide who are bursting to break free and become their own soul, and express individuality.
The acting on Sandcastle is really engaging, especially from the lady who portrays Maya, Malvika Jethwani . The interplay between the various characters in Sandcastle pulls Sheila in many ways. She fights for acceptance at the same time as trying to please herself.
Sandcastle is a deep film, looking inside oneself and makes the viewer contemplate the choices they have made throughout their lifetime. I rate Sandcastle an 8 out of 10, impact-full and thought provoking, the film should satisfy the urge to delve into your own mind.
Follow these links for more info: https://www.facebook.com/sand
In addition to being nominated for five awards at International Independent Film Festival in London in October, Indian Film Sandcastle has been selected to screen at Hollywood's LA Femme Film Festival, also in October. The film will be screened in Hollywood on October 20th.

Yes, The George Mann Collection. That had actually highlighted as I was rewriting it under the photo. From the last time I had used it on CT. Thanks again for the clarifications.
Thank you David. The attribution should go to George Mann.
Thanks for the heads up. I have deleted it, and will re-post it crediting Barto & Mann via you, All Rights Reserved. I have added many Barto & Mann photo's in the past, and have always credited them properly.

1935 photo added courtesy of the IM STILL SO NYC Facebook page.
Elegant theatre style but the crowd looks rather ghostly. Prosenium is huge and lovely. Tragedy the place is gone and a loss to the history of NYC.
I believe I am in the possession of two wrought iron railings from the old Paramount theater. Former owner of my house helped tear it down in 66'and got them. Looking to view any internal photos of the theater for absolute proof.
1920's Pic of Paramount Theater, Office Building added to Photo Section.
Among the 16th anniversary presentations was "The Road to Morocco", November 11, 1942. See photo.
HELP! I have two major areas of interest/inquiry regarding the Paramount.
1) I've been commissioned to write the biography of theatre organist George Wright (who played at the P around 1950)…does anybody have stories, memorabilia/pictures concerning George's time there?
2) A friend has acquired the studio Wurlitzer made famous by Jesse Crawford. We're restoring it and installing it in a private hall in California. Looking for studio blueprints, pictures, news articles, etc. Any help/suggestions GREATLY appreciated! -Bill
And glorious 4 channel Warnerphonic sound!
With four projectors in the booth no 3-D reel change intermission was necessary at the Paramount
Of course the other Paramount is listed – as Sony Columbus Circle – http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/2654
Yes, I remember it..the walls looked like the inside of a poloroid [spell check if needed] camera..
I'm surprised nobody mentioned it or that it is not among the theatre listing, but there was another "Paramount Theatre" operated by Cinema 5 (Rugoff), during the early to late 70's. This later incarnation was located on the corner of 60th St. & Broadway as part of the plaza of the then Gulf and Western Bldg (now Trump International). It had a unique design. The top area was a glass enclosed circular building containing the box office and theatre marquee. After purchasing your ticket, you took an escalator down to a subterranean level which housed the actual theatre and concession stands. I worked there in 1978 before moving over to The Plaza on 58th. Theatre was closed and disappeared while I was living abroad. Came back to see an empty spot where this theatre once stood. Worked many shows but the two that stand out are "Foul Play," and "Up In Smoke." I remember the long lines outside of it when "The Exorcist" was playing.
A nice view of the Paramount's flashing marquee in color in the movie "Stage Struck". 1958 directed by Sidney Lumet starring Susan Strasberg. Just screened at Portage Theater in Chicago.
Soupy Sales was last to do rock show there..
May 1965, the premiere of the first HARLOW starring Carol Lynley. This was the quickly filmed B&W Electronovision bio rushed into theatres to beat the Joseph E. Levine/Paramount HARLOW. Sharing the bill with the film was a Rock and Roll stage show hosted by, I believe, Clay Cole.
Thanks Brad…

Here is a link to the New York Times review of Strategic Air Command. And here is an excerpt from that review, reporting on both the film and surrounding hoopla. Sounds like it was a helluva night:
"NEVER, in many years of looking at Air Force and aviation films, have we seen the familiar wide blue yonder so wide or so magnificently displayed as it is in the Vista-Vision process used to project "Strategic Air Command."
"This latest Paramount service picture, which received a full-dress première under the sponsorship of the Air Force Association last night at the Paramount Theatre, is far and away the most elaborate and impressive pictoral show of the beauty and organized power of the United States air arm that has yet been put upon the screen.
"But, certainly, an equal measure of credit for the pictorial impressiveness of this show must go to the Vista-Vision process, which is here being revealed for the second time. The first use of Vista-Vision was in "White Christmas," several months ago, but that use was technically less finished and on a subject of less scope than is shown here.
"Now the full advantage of the Vista Vision wide film in giving size, depth and clarity, as well as fidelity of color, to big and detailed outdoor scenes is richly and dramatically apparent. The great panoramic shots of air fields, crowded with colorful equipment, betoken the precision and clear focus of the large Vista Vision lens. And the scenes in the air of cloud formations, of planes venting feathery vapor trails and of in-air refueling operations, all graphically shown, attest to the new dramatic potential of the sharp and well-proportioned image on a large scale.
"Vista Vision, in this particular showing, appears as grand as Cinerama, more felicitous and free than CinemaScope.
"But, above all, there are those airplanes, the roaring engines, the cluttered cockpits, the clouds and sky. These are the things that make your eyes bug and your heart leap with wonder and pride.
"The invitational world première of "Strategic Air Command" was held under the auspices of the Air Force Association.
"A large crowd thronged the Times Square area before the theatre, where searchlights heralded the occasion. The spectators watched the arrival of 3,500 guests, who included personalities in the armed services, politics, entertainment and business.
"Interviews with James Stewart, co-star of the picture, and other attending celebrities were telecast from the theatre lobby to a national audience on the Arthur Godfrey program. Mr. Godfrey served as moderator.
"In a stage ceremony prior to the screening, Mr. Stewart accepted a citation of honor from Maj. Gen. C. R. Smith, representing the A. F. A., for "distinguished public service and outstanding artistic achievement" in connection with the film."

The candidates are campaigning in Ohio. After a debate at Miami University, Meyers is asked by Pullman's campaign manager, Tom Duffy, to attend a secret meeting. Meyers calls his boss, senior campaign manager Paul Zara, who doesn't answer. Meyers leaves a message that something important has come up. Duffy offers Meyers a position in Pullman's campaign, an offer Meyers initialy refuses.Meyers starts a sexual relationship with Molly Stearns, an intern for Morris' campaign and daughter of Jack Stearns, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Late one night when Molly is in his room sleeping, Meyers discovers that she and Morris had a brief sexual liaison at a campaign stop in Iowa several weeks previously, and Molly is now pregnant by the Governor. Meyers helps her with money for an abortion but warns her not to tell anybody. Meyers also fires Molly from the campaign. He drives her to the clinic, but does not pick her up afterwards.Meyers admits to Zara that he met with Duffy, who told Meyers that Pullman will offer Thompson the position of Secretary of State, guaranteeing his victory. Ida a reporter for the New York Times, reveals that an anonymous source leaked his encounter with Duffy to her and that she will publish unless Meyers gives her all of the information about his meeting with Thompson. Meyers comes to Zara for help, believing the story would damage himself, Zara, and the campaign. Zara reveals that he leaked the meeting to Ida with Morris' approval in order to force Meyer into resigning from the campaign, stating that he did this because Meyers was disloyal for meeting with Duffy.An angry Meyers then offers his services to Duffy, who admits he only met with Meyers in order to influence his opponent's operation and had no intention of hiring him. Meanwhile, Molly learns that Meyers has been fired and fearing that he will reveal her pregnancy, takes a fatal drug overdoseSince the both sides used him, Meyers goes to the offensive and confronts Morris, telling him that he will expose the affair with Molly if Morris does not accept his demands: fire Zara, place Meyers in charge of the campaign, and offer Thompson the role of Vice President. Will Meyers be the winner?

My Teeth Get Longer Each Day
There are some subtle and not so subtle clues that I am getting long in the tooth; an old agrarian term concerning horses. As horses age their teeth continue to grow and give indication of their age. I have been receiving other indications that I just might be older than the posted speed limit.
Lately more people have begun calling me sir and they mean it. More people hold doors open for BW and me. We get the senior discount at the store without asking. Recently BW and I have been discussing night time driving. She is feeling unsure of whether to drive especially at night when it is raining or snowing. The glare produced by automobile headlights and street lights plus the reflection off the water on the roadway make it difficult to see clearly.
I have noticed that we and our friend have to plan social activities and other events around doctor appointments and therapy sessions. Many of my friends enjoy meeting to have organ recitals: describing which one of their organs needs treatment or is hurting today. We held a New Year's Eve party last year and no one complained about the loud music and raucous laughter because everyone there was driving on a restricted license and had to be home before dark.
I have noticed that when someone calls and cancels an event I settle back in the recliner and rejoice. I didn't want to go anyway. Tonight I have a serious job to complete -- I must put a rear end in the recliner. Mine.
We were standing near the line at the Circus. There were three long lines to get in. I suppose we looked rather forlorn and frail because a family with young children invited us to get in front of them very near the front of the line. We are slow but we are not stopped. We accepted the gracious invitation, stepped in line and expressed our gratitude. We probably looked like their great grandparents likely to faint at any moment.
This time of year is particularly taxing on my energy and good humor. I am familiar with the four levels of Santa Claus. I am not the author of this humorous anecdote as it has been floating throughout the intelligentsia for many years. I did, however, write the fifth level as a descriptor of my relationship with the Jolly Old Elf. First level "You believe in Santa Claus," second level, "You do not believe in Santa Claus," third level "You are Santa Claus," and then the fourth level, "You look like Santa Claus." I have added the fifth level, "You are just a little tired of the entire Santa Claus scenario and feel just a little jaded." In fact when the day is over I am a little relieved so I can hie myself to the hibernaculum for a private viewing of dreamland in snoozerama and Technicolor so bright I think I am actually there." In fact I think I will go there now.

Vintage Dress Buy.
So I had this black vintage dress request from a client and have I browse the heck out all the websites,she finally settled for this and guess where it's from? eBay!!! Yes or No?
Btw the dress has 22 Five stars, 11 Four stars & 1 Three star reviews so I guessed it should be a winner! I would personally be rocking with different belt colours to tweak the dress a lil bit!

Bootleg is a bar in New Domino City. In contrast to the well built-up areas of New Domino. Bootleg is a situated in a back alley in a poorer rural part of the city.
The inside of the bar is lit by lamps. Many of the customers and staff bear a criminal mark. Bolt Tanner often came here before being sent to The Facility. Under Tanner's instructions Yusei Fudo came here in search of Blister and was told to show the owner Tanner's "Giant Ushi Oni" card.

Few names are as synonymous with the guitar as that of Chet Atkins. He set the standard by which generations of country fingerstyle guitarists have benn measured. But his influence transcends regions and genres. The sound of 20th century guitar would not be the same without the impact of this gentle genius who was at the height of his influence and creative powers when the performances presented in this video were captured.
The much travelled "Mr. Guitar" is seen playing in this video collection everywhere from Nashville to Norway. His signature Gretsch Tennesseean guitar, on which Chet made exquisitely effective use of its Bigsby vibrato bar, is heard in all its sweet, reverb-laden glory on many of these clips. But Chet, whose versitility embraces all styles of guitar, is also seen playing a classical model and a Martin dreadnaught. No matter what he plays, the sound produced becomes a distinct auditory fingerprint of the man known in Nashville as C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player).
The relaxed mastery evident in this video explains why Chet was honored in 1993 with a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy: "For his peerless fingerstyle guitar technique, his extensive creative legacy documented on more than one hundred albums, and his influential work on both sides of the recording console as a primary architect of the Nashville sound."
Titles include: PURINA SHOW, 1955: The Poor People of Paris, Side by Side, Makin' Believe OZARK JUBILEE, 1958: Villa, Say Si Si NORWAY 1963: Levee Walking, Wildwood Flower, Yes Ma'am, Malaguena, Medley: Greensleeves & Streets of Laredo, Peanut Vendor, Tiger Rag NORWAY (NASHVILLE CAVALCADE), 1973: Alhambra, Black Mountain Rag, Medley: The Three Bells/I Can't Stop Loving You/Java/He'll Have To Go/When You're Hot You're Hot/Oh Lonesome Me, Just Another Rag, Mr Bojangles, Missionera, Wheels PORTER WAGONER SHOW, 1973: Muskrat Ramble POP GOES THE COUNTRY, 1975: Vincent
Running Time: 58 minutes
Review: The Master Musician and His Music. Chet Atkins was, is, and always will be the master of guitar. This video starts with a very young Chet Atkins and uncovers even then, the absolute genius of this man. No matter where he is or what song he plays, he never misses a lick. Though it may be considered vintage or classic by some, it is still very current and tasteful. Anytime one has the chance to view this master at his work, I would suggest this, - don't miss the opportunity. - This video shows Chet at his best as always, and one does not need to be a guitarist as myself to enjoy this video over and over again. One can immediately tell from this video that Chet loved his guitar and he loved his profession. This is a great collection for any music lover. - Gary Jones/Amazon Customer Review
Review: A Chet Atkins set of 'live' performances from his early years up to 1975 includes his signature Gretsch Electric Guitar plus his Classical Guitar and shows demonstrably how he makes that which is very difficult look easy. No guitarist has ever come near! His sad passing on June 30th 2001 leaves the world poorer and us 'believers' will never forget him. - I.G. Thurston/Amazon Customer Review

iOS: Neocom
I have been using this app for the past several months on my iPad. What a huge resource for any player. With full functioning API it doubles as an evemon on your iPad or iPhone. With quick access to your players skill que, the Eve Central market laid out like the in game market and in-game mail access just to name a few. It is very handy for checking up on your industrial timers without having to boot up your PC. Once more I promise you will waste even more time at working reading Eve News24 and TMC with the quick news fed interface on this app.
The API function is quick and painless. You connect to the app through your LAN and can easily copy paste in your API using your PC. Now I know CCP would hate this but I find myself as trader and industrial player checking up on my market orders and industrial jobs and not even logging into the game. Check it for yourself it is free at the App Store and does have a small ad bar in the left hand bottom corner. With a donation of 1 dollar you can get the ads removed. Check out their website at www.eveuniverseiphone.com. Wow that sounded more like an ad than a review I guess those marketing classes in college counts for something.
Android: Aura
Also I have to mention the android app Aura. I personally have never used it but it was recently featured in the eve community news that they cover each week head over there and check out their coverage and review if you have an android device I am sure the features are similar.

Building Stargates and New Regions
If you follow the news around Eve or check up on the few sites that cover Eve news this doesn't mean much to you but I wanted to throw it out there for all those that may not have caught it.
If you have been watching the streams and reading about potential expansion features you will find the idea of building stargates is hinted and teased at a lot this past year. It is now all but inevitable that within the next few expansions we will be seeing the construction of the first player owned stargates. Over at Jester Trek, he drops a few hints into the this potential expansion feature of player owned stargates. Over at TMC they ran a news article today about the confirmed release of new regions in future expansions.
Exciting times with the release of the new Rubicon expansion today and already hints of things to come in the over the next year just might prove enough to keep me logging on for a few more months. Which is a good thing. These past couple months have seen lower player numbers and scandals running a muck which has made me think twice about my future in Eve. But at the end of the day I am still having fun flying around New Eden. If they deliver on even half of these new toys I think this is one sand box I am willing to keep building in.

Rubicon Expansion Trailer Delivers
The Rubicon trailer is looking pretty good. After the announcement stream I didn't think Rubicon would be very exciting and while it has been slowly growing on me I will reserve judgement until after the release of the expansion. You can find the eye can below...

What You Do In The Moment
I have been wandering around New Eden trying out some new things. Last week I grabbed my old explorer and flew around trying to find an exploration site to check out. After a dozen or so systems and not finding anything but wormholes I came to the conclusion there was a reason I always trade. Flying around in empty space finding nothing but wormholes, system after system just gets boring after about a hour. Bad luck on my part I guess.
So yesterday I fitted out a procurer and went to try my hand at ice mining. After checking on several ice systems and finding that all the anomalies had been mined out, I docked up my little ice miner. Boredom setting in again I wondered back to my manufacturing goods and did some shipping.
A few hours later I jumped in my mining barge and hit up a few belts. Within five minutes I remembered why I can't stand mining. The slow pace and general lack of things to shoot at drags on and on. I could see jumping into a second account being fun but that just raises more questions as to what my goal for playing the game really is.
I realized having fun in New Eden isn't in finding a specialization so to speak its in the moment. Do whatever you do as long as you enjoy it.

Weighing in on Warp Speed Changes
It seems like a lot of people are overjoyed with the changes to warp speed increase. Its great right? Smaller ships are faster than ever. I was hopping they would at least leave freighters and capitals as bench marks and ships would move faster as they got smaller. Instead cruisers are the bench mark and save for a slight long distance speed increase to freighters(check graph) they have an increased time for warping(on the low end 1 AU to 50 AU). I do quite a bit of flying in my freighter, shipping things around, so what to do about it is the real question?
I think freighter services will go up in price because it is going to take a whole lot more time for these guys to fly around. So between flying even smarter shipping trips and using shipping services until the eventual price increase is the direction I will take to keep my time flying down.
As far as flying smarter your going to want to use all of the new rebalanced indy ships to your advantage now more than ever. It might be a fun experiment to see how much in terms of volume I could haul in comparision to the slower freighter. Even more things to plan and think about if your hauling.
And on the one hand maybe this will stop afk shipping because its going to take hours to fly across space if you afk a freighter.

Eve Online compared to Star Citizen Video
I stumbled across this video comparing Eve to Star Citizen. It got me thinking. A lot of people are turning heads checking out the potential of what Star Citizen could be. Any Eve player would be dumb not to consider what Star Citizen might mean for Eve. Although that being said anyone who takes a few minutes to read up on Star Citizen will find you don't need to worry about Star Citizen killing Eve. Not even close. The video below gives a few quick comparisons check it out.
Two points I want to leave you with,
Star Citizen has a really long way to go still. The game is slated to be released in the first part of 2015. A lot will change about Eve in that time and the shell of what Star Citizen is today will most likely be very different come release day as well.
My second point I thought of was the fact that Eve Valkyrie could very well be a response to Star Citizen I don't know its just a theory.

According to Hallberg (2009), application layer is defined as the top layer within the Open System Interconnectivity (OSI) server layer model. The application layer enables the user to access information over the network by use of an application. This layer deals with issues such as resource availability, synchronization of communication, and identification of communication partners. The application layer is responsible to decide whether network resources are adequate for the requested communication. Synchronization of communication is the process by which all possible communication between applications are co-operated by the management of the application layer. The communication partners with data to send are identified as the application layer determines their availability and identity.
The OSI model's application layer offers end-user services like, electronic messaging, virtual terminal access, file transfers, and the e-mail. Apart from providing the user interface, application layer is responsible for displaying images and data to the user in a format that can be easily recognized. Therefore, the application layer within the OSI model plays a role in organizing and displaying data and images in format that is human compatible (Lammle, 2007).
The application layer is comprised of many protocols that are usually needed. Most of the application layer protocols offer services that enable programs access the network. Thus, the application layer is known as the entrance point that is used by programs to access the OSI model as well as to utilize the network resources. Examples of the application layer protocols include, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telnet, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Finger Protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Network File System (NFS) protocol, Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP), Domain Name System (DNS) protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), Rlogin Protocol, Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) protocol, Netware Core Protocol (NCP), Advanced Program to Program Communications (APPC) protocol, Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), and Server Message Block (SMB) protocol (Lammle, 2007). Of the application layer protocols, only a few protocols will be discussed.
There are very many protocols existing in today's world, but only a few have been written to play a role in data transfer. These are the standard Internet protocols that are established and sustained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) (Hallberg, 2009). The FTP protocol is an internet protocol that provides the simplest way of exchanging electronic files between computers with internet connection. FTP uses the TCP/IP protocols to transfer the Web page files from the designers to the server computers to be viewed by internet users worldwide. This application protocol also enables internet users to download programs as well as other electronic files from various servers around the world.
SMTP is another application protocol used to transfer data between two or more computers on the internet. It can be defined as an Internet standard that is used to transfer electronic mail over Internet Protocol networks. The SMTP is a very reliable and efficient means of transferring electronic mail from senders to recipients, for instance, in case the mail delivery fails, the mail messages will be queued and then delivered later when conditions allow. NNTP is defined as an internet application protocol that allows for transportation of Usenet news articles between two or more news servers. This protocol is also used for posting and reading articles by the user client applications at the destination.
The application layer as the layer seven of the OSI model is utilized as a window for application processes and users to get an access to network services. This layer provides many functions including, remote file access, network management, device redirection and resource sharing, electronic messaging such as e-mail messaging, and stimulation of computer virtual terminals. The application layer is comprised of many protocols that are usually needed and most of these protocols offer services that enable programs access the network.

Take a look at what H. Richard Yarger has to say about the need for a theory of strategy at http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/army-usawc/stratpap.htm
Strategy is all about how (way or concept) leadership will use the power (means or resources) available to the state to exercise control over sets of circumstances and geographic locations to achieve objectives (ends) that support state interests. Strategy provides direction for the coercive or persuasive use of this power to achieve specified objectives. This direction is by nature proactive. It seeks to control the environment as opposed to reacting to it. Strategy is not crisis management. It is its antithesis. Crisis management occurs when there is no strategy or the strategy fails. Thus, the first premise of a theory of strategy is that strategy is proactive and anticipatory.
Doesn't that sound about like what we need?

So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 06:42 #1
People have been saying that that new Alive Tour vid is a hoax. They talk about how Daft Punk said themselves that no tour is happening. Is all hope lost? I hadn't lost it yet. Maybe they are just screwing with us or they are gonna tour with The Weeknd. What do you think? Is there never gonna be a tour ever again or do you think that they might do something?DJ ToKyO

Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 09:22 #2
I don't think all hope is lost there is always a chance. I think they will probably tour at somepoint in the future whether or not it will be alive 2017 or a surprise appearance who knows? If collaboration with weeknd anything to go by I'd say they're more focused on making music at this time rather than touring.

Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 10:25 #3
There is definitely a chance they will do some live show this year.
The youtube channel is fake for so many reasons.. It's such an easy thing for someone to make. There's nothing about it which says its really Daft Punk making it, no link to their official website or presence or facebook or anything.
Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 14:00 #4
I see them more doing an album before a tour, they even wanted that. If they do tour, I doubt it'll be within this year, maybe mid 2017 into 2018, but they've said they wanted an album before a tour, which would make more sense because they'd have more material to work with, and even if it doesn't happen, we've managed years without word from DP, I'm sure the merch is their way of making up for it so they're active, so I wouldn't give up all possibility. Besides the planned Alive tours didn't even start in the 7 decades they were, so this tour could be a whole departure from Alive, in case y'all forgot they can be very unpredictable
Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 17:09 #5
they're gonna show up at a concert in december and play one note and leave
Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 17:35 #6
They've stated that they have no plans for a tour in the foreseeable future. Also, they've stated if they were to tour it would be something more 'cumulative', so if they were to tour I'd guess they'd have to first release at least one more album to tour with, though RAM and Tron, and some of their collaborations aren't too bad. Maybe Alive 2020? Doubt Alive 2017 is happening, as much as I'd like it to.
Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 18:39 #7
Pardon my laziness, but could you point me to the source where they made these statements? I've kinda fallen off the wagon since RAM came out, and wanted to catch up on all official info available out there now that it's rumor season again.
Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 20:58 #8
Re: So no tour at all?11th Jan 2017, 22:05 #9
Unless it comes directly from them, we should take every clip and rumour as just what they are. Keep tabs on their FB page these next few months. If there's going to be anything, it'll be there.

OTHER NAMES: Willow Sparrow
Latin Etymology: Passer ("sparrow") hispaniolensis ("Spanish")Male Spanish Sparrow (subspecies P. h. hispaniolensis) at Laguna Campillo, Spain - April 2016
Featured Subspecies: Passer hispaniolensis hispaniolensis
Weight: 22-36g / Length: 15-16cm / Wingspan: 23-26cm
Despite the name, this is a species found over a wide range from Iberia to Central Asia and a close relation of the House Sparrow. However, in comparison to that species, they are considerably less accustomed to human presence, being far more rural to the point of even generally avoiding human buildings. I saw small numbers in several locations on my second trip to Madrid, but generally they seemed to be associated with the borders of grassland and trees. The female is basically indistinguishable from that of the House Sparrow, but the very black streaked chest makes the male distinctive.
Related Species:
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Passeridae
Genus: Passer
Subspecies: P. h. hispaniolensis, P. h. transcaspicus
- Sighting Locations -
SPAIN - Spanish - Gorrión Moruno - ("Moorish Sparrow")- MADRID 2016 TRIP: Seen at Navaseca (1 male), Monfrague (3 males) and Rivas Vaciamadrid (1 male). Females may have been present, but are indistinguishable from female House Sparrow in the field.
Widespread but local resident in rural habitats, often associating with House Sparrow.
