A vital element of our cloud web hosting platform is our custom–developed Web Hosting Control Panel. It is the only Web Hosting Control Panel you have to go to in order to manage your web presence, which eliminates the need for any other panels. You can easily manage your sites, your domains and your payment transactions from one location.
Our Web Hosting Control Panel is designed to make it easier for you to manage your website. It's simple to navigate and you can easily move from one section to another irrespective of where you're. All the tools that we've added are intuitive and simple to use, so there's no real learning curve. And we've integrated multiple other free–of–cost tools that can help you with any assignment – from accelerating and customizing your existing web sites to setting up brand–new web sites.
Email Manager
A user–friendly interface to administer your e–mail accounts from
While creating and sending an e–mail message is easy, administering your email boxes could be tough. The Email Managerincluded in the GX Hosting Web Hosting Control Panel is here to assist you with that. It sports a sleek interface from where you can quickly forward electronic mails, create e–mail filters, order anti–spam protection, etc.
In case you use an email client, we offer you some handy auto–config scripts – simply download a file and it will configure your e–mail box automatically. You can also utilize our webmail client – it's full–featured and you can access it from anywhere in the world.
Domain Names Manager
A complete array of domain name management features
You can now administer multiple domains without much effort with the help of our Domain Names Manager. It includes all the domain name management tools that you require and everything is designed in a user–friendly way. Each functionality is only one single click away – from redirecting or parking a domain to altering your domain name's WHOIS or DNS settings.
And with our Web Hosting Control Panel, once you are done with your domain names, you can immediately start working on your website without needing to log into a different Web Hosting Control Panel.
File Manager
File management in the cyber age
Web file managers have been around for a long time. However, they are clunky, slow, difficult to use and feature–poor. We have changed that. Our File Manager behaves much more like a desktop file manager than a standard web file manager. You can upload files by dragging and dropping them, or move files and folders from one place to another. You can resort to our built–in code editors and preview pictures. You can zip 'n' unzip files or folders directly online.
And everything's done with only a click.
A Web Site Building Application
Save money on web development and design
Why waste lots of money on hiring a steeply priced website designer when you can do everything on your own in the same amount of time?
In the Web Hosting Control Panel you will find a full–featured Web Site Building Application. It's user–friendly, demands no previous experience in CSS, PHP or HTML, includes one hundred customizable templates available in different color styles and includes a full–featured WYSIWYG (What–You–See–Is–What–You–Get) editor.
A choice of 40+ different web apps to install
A choice of 40+ different web apps to install

It works with more than 40 well–known software applications and we have made the installation process as simple as possible. All you really need to do is type in the admin user name and pass. Our smart tool will take care of the rest on your behalf.
It also keeps a log of the installed software and the used user names and passwords. Thus, even if you fail to memorize your password, you can always check what it is in our Web Hosting Control Panel.
Dropbox backups
Back up your web sites remotely with Dropbox
Since Dropbox was introduced, it has gained millions of active end users. With the Web Hosting Control Panel, you can set up automatic backups of your site using your Dropbox account as a remote backup storage space.
This way, you can rest assured that, regardless of what happens with our servers, you can always have the most recent backup of your web site and your databases at hand.

Stacy Aldrich and Sandy Edmunds – Library Code discussion
PA's Library code was modified Nov. 1, 2012 and the State Library is now looking at the Regulations. Here they are.
Tips for decoding: anything 9XXX is law, but 1XX references are regulations. She gave us a quiz…
A few changes to the Code:
- State Librarian
- More professional librarians on the advisory council
- Established ebook standards
- More waiver flexibility
- Establishes CE requirements
- Change from a dollar amount to a percentage of surplus
- Decreased to 10 days the amount of time someone can go to jail for stealing library materials
Regs are rules based on and meant to carry out the Code. They are enforced by the State Library. Important Chapters are: 131, 133, 137, 141, 142, 143
Goals for the Revision:
- Remove inconsistencies
- Create a reader-friendly format
- Improve libraries and library service across the state
Much discussion ensued when Stacey asked for feedback on the Hours of Service change from a prescriptive model (7 hours on the weekend) to hours of service based on community use patterns. How do we measure community use patterns and how do we prove to the State that our hours of service are justified? For example, how do we tell if Sunday hours are popular if we aren't open on Sunday to see? Survey? I think her point was that we need more community input and engagement in our decision making process. I agree.
We also discussed the role of the Incentive for Excellence funding that Stacey sees as leverage (not a subsidy) and a way to get more local investment. The state will provide the tools we need to educate local government and our Boards on these incentives. The Board should be able to articulate code and state aid to the local governments.
The crowd decided that her requirements for continuing education were too low and we suggested some changes, like having staff CE requirements for 10 hour a week employees, not just 20+ hour a week workers.
"We want to improve the quality of our libraries." – Stacey
There are not regulations regarding Trustee training and education – we thought this should change. (I will share the NEKLS standards with Stacey, since they do address Trustee ed and many other issues we talked about in this session.)
One idea regarding Web sites was to require access to the online catalog – that seems reasonable to me!
The discussion went long and ended with questions about the role of the District Library Consultants, especially in system libraries.

First off, a big thank you to Nikki, Kate, and Cayce for the opportunity to guest blog at Irene's Daughters. I hope I can contribute something to the excellent posts and discussions thus far!
Last week I came across this CNN article about a group of seniors who grew up in Macon, GA during the Jim Crow Era, and recently held a racially integrated 50th high school reunion. The article is well worth reading, not only as encouraging stories about race seem so rare these days, but also because it's a good starting point for a number of different discussions about race. In particular, the article got me thinking about the invisibility of white privilege, and the importance of concrete action to racial reconciliation and anti-racist activism.
I got to thinking about white privilege after reading comments from seniors – black and white – interviewed in the article who recalled that as children, they perceived segregation as normal. It wasn't something to be challenged or questioned, and for some it wasn't even understood as discriminatory. It was simply a "way of life," taken for granted as the way the world was and had to be:
Listening to his mother and her childhood friends, Cordell said, he was struck by how segregation was "was so transparent to them at the time they were living through it. It was a way of life, so they didn't acknowledge its existence."
"I find it interesting how human nature teaches you to accept things that are — and some people question the reality, and other people don't."
Institutionalized racism and white privilege work in much the same way in the present day. We are accustomed to the many effects of racism and white privilege in our society: the disproportionate dominance of white males in almost every sector of business and culture, de facto segregation in schools, churches, and workplaces; racial gaps in hiring, income, and school performance, to name just a few. Many Americans have become so inured to these realities that they see them as just The Way Things Are – or worse, just the way "those people" are.
This is part of how privilege of any kind works – by presenting an uneven playing field as anything but what it is. People who benefit from privilege don't generally believe that they have been given a leg up on those who don't; rather, they tend to believe that everyone has an equal opportunity to get ahead in life, and they just happen to be ahead because they have worked hard, made good choices, and otherwise made good use of the same opportunities everyone else has. By this logic, social and economic racial disparities can only be explained by failure to take full advantage of these opportunities. Privilege thrives on the assumption that a system of unfair advantages is really a system based on pure merit. This mythology ignores the ongoing effects of past racial injustice, denies the reality of present-day racism, and presents white privilege and racial disparities as natural byproducts of the way things are, the way people are. This naturalization of racial injustice is a major obstacle to candid discussions about white privilege. It is very difficult to have a discussion about something that we are taught to believe doesn't exist.
So the question is, what can we as people committed to anti-racism and racial reconciliation do to challenge white privilege and make it more visible? We need to ask ourselves how we have bought into white privilege as a way of life. White allies have a particular responsibility to check and question their own privilege, but those of us who are POC can also play a part. We may not have access to white privilege, but we often participate in it and buy into it. With that in mind, here are some of the ways I am working to resist the tendency to naturalize white privilege (and other forms of privilege) in my own life:
– I am working to become more conscious of the ways I buy into white privilege: making positive assumptions about white people (well-off, intelligent, safe) and negative assumptions about POC (poor, uneducated, dangerous). Assuming I have a right to information about POC that I wouldn't dream of asking a white person (where are you "really from?," etc.)
– I share my perspective as a POC with my white friends and family members. It's not that it's my job to educate them, but that it's important to be open to have conversations about privilege with people who might be more disposed to hear where I'm coming from.
– I am working to become more conscious of my own privilege in other areas, and to recognize that privilege and prejudice are intersectional. I have access to privilege because of my socioeconomic status, my sexuality and gender identity, and my religious upbringing, and I have a responsibility to check and question myself on those counts.
What are your thoughts on how we can work to expose and challenge white privilege? Please share your ideas in the comments.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), one of the most ambitious free trade agreements ever signed, has both its supporters and opponents. The deal involves 12 countries: the United States, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru. The pact aims to deepen economic ties between these nations, slashing tariffs, and fostering trade to boost growth. Member countries are also hoping to foster a closer relationship on economic policies and regulation. But opponents of the TPP say it could mean jobs will move from the U.S. to developing countries, and jeopardize intellectual property and patent protections. The agreement has yet to be ratified in the U.S. In fact, most feel because of the opposition, it's highly unlikely it will pass through Congress during President Obama's remaining tenure.
What's Inside the TPP?
The TPP would eliminate more than 18,000 taxes that various countries impose on Made-in-America exports – everything from plastics to poultry, seafood to steel, chemicals to cotton, apples, to aircraft parts. Currently, for example, when American firms export their products to the other 11 nations in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, they get hit with tariffs as high as 55% on such items as wine, 50% on motorcycles, 35% on plywood, 30% on tractors, 24% on headphones, and 20% on beauty products, for example. If and when the TPP goes into effect, those foreign tariffs will all disappear.
The TPP conversely would also eliminate 6,500 U.S. tariffs on imported products ranging from grapefruits to rice to automobiles.
The TPP also requires countries to meet core, enforceable labor standards as stated in the International Labor Organization's (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. According to the U.S. government, "the fully-enforceable labor standards we have won in the TPP include the freedom to form unions and bargain collectively; prohibitions against child labor and forced labor; requirements for acceptable conditions of work such as minimum wage, hours of work, and safe workplace conditions; and protections against employment discrimination. These enforceable requirements will help our workers compete fairly and reverse a status quo that disadvantages our workers through a race to the bottom on international labor standards."
What's more, the TPP addresses trade barriers that pose disproportionate challenges to small businesses, such as high taxes, overly complex trade paperwork, corruption, customs "red tape," restrictions on Internet data flows, weak logistics services that raise costs, and slow delivery of small shipments. The TPP, say supporters, will make it cheaper, easier, and faster for American small businesses to get their products to market by creating efficient and transparent procedures that move goods quickly across borders.
The TPP includes standards to protect digital freedom, including the free flow of information across borders – ensuring that Internet users can store, access, and move their data freely that is subject to public-interest regulation, for example fighting spamming and cyber crime.
For and Against TPP
According to think thank Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), the TPP is projected to boost U.S. inflation-adjusted annual income by $131 billion by 2030, and annual world income by $492 billion. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce along with other industry groups and associations support the TPP, including the American Farm Bureau, the Business Roundtable, the Emergency Committee for American Trade, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the Semiconductor Industry Association. Proponents of the TPP says the agreement makes sure U.S. farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and small businesses can compete—and win—in some of the fastest-growing markets in the world. Moreover, by a 20-point margin, Americans think the TPP is good for this country, according to the Pew Research Center, and nearly 7 in 10 Americans say the same about trade in general.
Opponents, however, fear that since the U.S. will also remove tariffs on all manufactured goods it will not only lower prices for American consumers but will end up creating more competition for domestic producers who have enjoyed government protection in the past. For example, some unions and politicians fear that the deal could flood the U.S. auto supply chain with cheaper Asian parts—and encourage U.S. automakers to shift manufacturing operations to non-TPP countries like China. Critics argue that prior trade deals have contributed to national and global inequality, the U.S. trade deficit, and the steady decline of U.S. manufacturing jobs. They also see it as encouraging higher prices for pharmaceuticals and other high-value products by spreading American standards for patent protections to other countries. Furthermore, TPP's critics were not happy about the secrecy of the agreement's negotiations.

Old-world capital city is situated in the Wang Chhu river valley at an elevation of 7500 ft./2286 m.
At the Handicrafts Emporium, you may choose your souvenirs from an array of hand-crafted and hand-woven wares. Tashichhodzong, the main secretariat building, houses all the ministers, the National Assembly Hall, the office of the King and the Throne Room. It is also the summer residence of the monk body and the religious chief, the Je Khempo.
The Memorial Chorten is dedicated to the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, the father of modern Bhutan.
Five miles out of Thimphu, on a lofty ridge, stands the Simtokha Dzong which was built in 1627 by Shabdrung Nawang Namgyal. It was he who gave Bhutan its first written laws, and established a network of Dzongs, the imposing fortress-monasteries from which the country was governed.
Paro Valley
Of all the places to visit in this fascinating country, Paro stands unique both in beauty and in history.
Bhutan's greatest saint, Padma Sambhava, better known as Guru Rimpoche was the one who originally introduced Buddhism into Bhutan. He entered Bhutan through Paro.
Taktsang, or 'Tiger's Nest', is the monastery built around the cave in which Guru Rimpoche, and later his follower Dubthok Singye, meditated. The monastery is precariously situated on the edge of a sheer precipice, and a visit there is a challenge.
Across the river Paro Chhu, stands the Rimpung Dzong. Commanding a panoramic view of the entire Valley, today it houses the Paro monastic body and the offices of the Dzongda (district commissioner) and Thrimpon (district judge).
The Thongdel, Bhutan's most sacred giant sized scroll depicting the eight manifestations of Guru Rimpoche with the two attendants, Khendu Yesey Tsogyel and Khendu Mindha-Rawa, is displayed for a few hours during the Paro Tsechu. Behind Rimpung Dzong, is the majestic castle-like Ta-Dzong. This one-time look-out stronghold has been a National Museum since 1967.
The Capital of Bhutan till 1955, Punakha is still the seat of religion. In 1637, the Shabdrung built the fortress of Punakha to serve as both the religious and administrative centre for Bhutan. In keeping with tradition, the daily rituals, the serving of meals, are carried out in the same manner as was done during the Shabdrung's lifetime.
High Season: March, April, May, September, and October & November.
Low Season: Rest of the months.
Booking and Visas
Booking must be made sufficiently in advance especially during peak season. Minimum 8 weeks notice is required to obtain transit permit and visa to visit Bhutan for passengers arriving by surface, and 4 weeks for arrivals by air.

I interviewed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday night's Kudlow Report. When I asked him about that day's shutdown meeting at the White House, McConnell described it as "unproductive." Here's a report on the interview by CNBC desk producer Elizabeth Schulze, and the video, too:
Washington is still far from resolving its differences over the fight to reopen the U.S. government.
That's according to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in an interview on CNBC's "The Kudlow Report" following a meeting at the White House Wednesday night.
"It was cordial but unproductive," McConnell said. "The President continues to maintain privately the position that he has had publicly, which is he doesn't want to negotiate about the continuing resolution to operate the government or over raising the debt ceiling."
After a two-hour meeting with President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sen. McConnell offered no timeline for Congress to pass legislation to end the government shutdown.
"Obama can't get his way exactly the way he likes it," McConnell said. "The American people expect us to come together and figure out how to solve this problem and sooner or later, we're going to do that."
"The shutdown will end," he added. "Nobody is in favor of a government shutdown, but these are important principles that we are fighting for, for the American people. We obviously want to continue the operation of the government, but we want to keep it within constraints with the Budget Control Act."
McConnell insisted on maintaining spending levels under the Budget Control Act, the 2011 law which created sequestration. Tax increases to reopen the government, he said, are off the table.
"We don't want to walk away from the spending reductions we have already promised the American people for the next two years," he said. "Ninety-nine percent of the Bush tax cuts are now permanent law. We don't want to walk away from the permanent tax relief that we achieved New Year's Eve. "
McConnell shifted the debate to the debt ceiling, saying "America is not going to default on its debts."
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has said that the government's flexibility to continue to fund itself without additional debt will end around Oct. 17.
"Our view is it's time to talk to eliminate the government shutdown, to find out what conditions need to be attached to raise the debt ceiling so the full faith and credit of the United States continues to be honored," McConnell said. "But we also need to do something about this enormous debt that has been accumulated during the Obama years."
In response to President Obama's insistence on a "clean" budget proposal in an interview on CNBC earlier Wednesday, McConnell said the President's position is "unacceptable."
"The President's position so far is that he wants it clean no matter what," McConnell said. "I think that's an unacceptable position for Senate and House Republicans. It should be an unacceptable position for the American people."
McConnell said the President fails to recognize that the American people elected a divided government under the assumption that both parties would negotiate.
"There will have to be a compromise no matter what the President says today because his party doesn't control the entire government," he said. "The American people have frequently elected a divided government. When they do that, they don't expect us to do nothing, to not talk to each other."
Senate Democrats, McConnell said, are reinforcing the stalemate in their refusal to negotiate with House Republicans.
"The House has sent over a number of different proposals, including the last one to go to conference and have a discussion about this," he said. "Senate Democrats voted that down, too. Who's being unreasonable here?"

Opened in mid-2014 off Sukhumvit Road, the Beat Hotel blends comfort and a creative edge into a large, modern space. From gallery-worthy wall murals to individually stitched pillows, the place was pieced together by local artists. Solid midrange value, strong common facilities and an "art market" location help to make this one of Bangkok's coolest boutique hotels.

Last night I watched SportsCenter on ESPN at 8 PM as my pregnant wife snoozed away (I wrenched the remote away stealthily and changed it from some housewife show). Midway through the show, Scott Van Pelt and Steve Levy were rattling through highlights of college basketball games. Following a Maryland basketball package where Van Pelt showed how much of a homer he is, they transitioned to show 90 or so seconds of footage from last night's University of North Carolina vs. North Carolina State game. I immediately thought to myself, "Self, why is UNC getting this much press on SportsCenter? Didn't they just drop WAY out of the top 25 in both polls?"
So I did some research. Carolina got a combined one vote in both poll. That one vote came in the ESPN/Coaches Poll, meaning not a single Associated Press writer voted the Tar Heels into the top 25 this week. I wonder what coach voted for UNC? Do you think he collects paychecks from an ACC school?
North Carolina, a school that has unmistakable ties to ESPN seeing that the network broadcasts ACC games and the annual ACC tournament, happened to win their game over NC State, a team they usually pummel. UNC has reeled since the turn of the new year, going 2-4 since 2009 passed. They had been 11-3. They've started 2-3 in the ACC and are 13-7 overall. They don't deserve a top 25 spot and seeing that ESPN rarely shows highlights of games that feature no top 25 teams, they don't deserve the coverage they received on SportsCenter last night.
But what will Dick Vitale have to talk about if North Carolina isn't in the top 25? Who will he get to promote?
Well, let's look at some other schools that Dickie V can take a look at. There is a litany of schools that have received votes or are in the top 25 that get little to no press and certainly aren't given two minutes of coverage on SportsCenter.
How about Northern Iowa? That squad is currently 17-2 and ranked 25th in the ESPN poll.
Or what about Baylor? They are from a big conference where their up-tempo play has led them to a 15-3 record and a number 24 ranking in the AP poll.
Looking for someone a little more stable? How about BYU? The Cougars have one loss this year and are ranked tenth in the ESPN poll out of the impressive Mountain West Conference (more on the MWC later).
Or maybe UAB catches your fancy. They're number 25 in the AP poll, sporting a 17-2 record.
So why don't we hear about these great stories? Who is reporting on these teams? There are so many amazing seasons underway for schools that are impressing a lot more voting writers and coaches than UNC. The following teams from big conferences are outside the top 25, but got more votes than Carolina in the most recent polls: Florida State, Clemson, Wake Forest, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Maryland, Virginia, Northwestern, Cal and Notre Dame.
And how about the little guys? College basketball is built on the backs of the small schools that make March so exciting. Where are their stories? The following small conference schools are outside of the top 25 and have drawn more votes than the Heels: Butler (#18 in coaches poll, not ranked in AP), Cornell, Old Dominion, Xavier, UNLV, Siena, Saint Mary's, Louisiana Tech, and Harvard. Coastal Carolina has the same number of votes as UNC, which is one.
That's right, Coastal Carolina has as many votes as UNC, and Cornell, Harvard and Old Dominion have significantly more ballots cast. So where are the 90-second highlight packages on their seasons? Oh that's right, ESPN needs to make sure everyone knows the Tar Heel players so they are more recognizable when they have their first matchup with Duke on February 10th. Duh.
ESPN's alliance with the ACC and other big conferences runs deep. Jay Bilas went to Duke. Hubert Davis went to North Carolina. So did Stuart Scott. Dick Vitale praises anything that has to do with ACC basketball, especially if it takes place on Tobacco Road. The network carries their games and the tournament, as previously mentioned. Unfortunately, ESPN has such an effect on the landscape of college basketball that poll results may be swayed by their coverage.
Take the Mountain West Conference. Home to the likes of BYU, Utah, San Diego State, UNLV and New Mexico, the conference has continually made strides, but seems to stay out of the national conscience. MWC teams consistently downed big conference powers in pre-conference play. Arizona lost to three Mountain West teams (BYU, UNLV and SDSU). BYU also beat Arizona State. Louisville lost to UNLV. Utah took down Illinois, Michigan and LSU. New Mexico defeated Cal, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
The conference currently boasts two teams in the top 25 (BYU and New Mexico), with a third (UNLV) having spent time there and still receiving votes. The MWC also boasts big name coaches like Steve Alford (UNM), Lon Kruger (UNLV) and Steve Fisher (SDSU). So what's keeping them from getting more attention? Could it be partially because of ESPN's lack of coverage while they are too busy giving time to ACC teams that are well out of the top 25?
UNLV only has four losses and two are to teams currently ranked in the top 15 (BYU and Kansas State). The others are to USC in a Christmas tournament championship and Utah in a tough MWC matchup. There are eight other teams currently in the top 25 that have four or more losses. The Rebels have only two conference losses and one is at BYU. The Cougars come to the Thomas & Mack center for the Vegas rematch on February 6th.
The MWC has television contracts with CBS College Sports and The Mountain, a network created by the conference. ESPN has no vested interest to show their highlights, promote their games or make fans (and potential voters) aware of the brand of basketball being played in the conference. One could laugh at ESPN for their fair and balanced coverage the way the general public does when someone talks about Fox News Channel.
The Mountain West is not the only conference being slighted as there is plenty of great basketball being played that the majority of the viewing (and voting) public knows little to nothing about.
The "Mothership" owes the legions of sports fans better than this. Let's drop the coverage of a floundering UNC team just a tad (you can still report on it and promote their games) and up the ante by talking up the big games in other conferences that have teams receiving significantly more top 25 votes, regardless of who their TV contract is with.
Let's start with this: Cornell hosts Harvard on Saturday night. Let's cover that like you did the two unranked teams you gave pub to last night when UNC vs. NC State was pushed upon us. At least Cornell and Harvard have more combined poll votes (18) than the Heels do (1).
Let's all hope for a Big Red win over the Crimson to push them over the edge in the ESPN/Coaches Poll. They are ranked number 27 now. A top 25 berth would make ESPN cover them. One can only wish…

Crap!! I pulled a Zanna!! OH NOES!!
BUT, i did need to move the Residents to a different site! CrazedMind just wasn't big enough! whatever. I do plan on keeping CrazedMind updated and what not, because THIS IS NOT MY FANGIRL SITE. this site is JUST for the Residents! ah... my beloved Residents! Squee! anyway, so CrazedMind will still be updated! But, I do want to spend the time being ironing out the kinks and what not of the Apartment, so CrazedMind will have to be on hold for just a little bit!
ok, enough of that!
sigh... i'm so happy i finally got this site up! it's still a bit new, so it's not complete yet, but it's close! i love the Residents so much! i REALLY wanted to get them their own site! and here it is!
Concerning the banner... This was the first of a set of banners that had recently been completed. It's of the Scribe, Famine. I'm not sure if anyone besides myself, Livi, and Ninja know this, but Famine is also Boredom's sister. Famine is NOT an Elemental, she's a Scribe. And the text on the banner looks really messy, i know. I tried fixing it, but it just wouldn't work! in case you can't tell, it says:
"Another man,
Another night,
Another famine.
The fun just never stops."
It's actually a quote, and really bugs me. You see, Famine is immortal like all the Scribes. But for some reason, Famine is always sleeping around with mortal men (usually kings and royalty). Not because she loves them, but because she gets a kick out of sleeping with them right before she inflicts the country with famine, thus killing thousands of the people. Please, understand that i am NOT saying that i approve of this behaviour! it sickens me! But Famine is messed up. Not because of something tragic that happened in her life or anything like that, but because she just IS. And for the record, Boredom is also disgusted by Famine because of this.
Anyway, i posted a head shot of her on the Sketch book page, because if i'm gonna bust my butt on drawing all that hair detail, i want people to see it! so click on it!
Another thing! I've made a page for the Epic Comment Postings! I'll transfer ALL the comments from the one of CrazedMind (all one-hundred and six of em...) and post them onto to one of here! yay ECPs!!
I'm kind of rushed at the moment, but i just really wanted to get this published now! so expect to here back from me soon!
ps: be sure to go to the "Fiction" page!
First Post!
Crap!! I pulled a Zanna!! OH NOES!!
Hey Durithyll! I am glad that you like my website Writer's World. I like this one too. This has a point too! I am very sorry I can't tell you my e-mail. I have to check it out more too--It looks like a good one! I am going to add it to my favorites. Thanks for checking out my site! Writerguy

heck yes! sigh... i love them so frikken much... my only regret in getting them their own site, is that CrazedMind had history! ya know?

It should be that the samples are somehow compressed with an unsupported codec, like FLAC or MP3.
Actually VMS does not support compressed samples, unless you provide the required BASS decode plugin.
(see here for details: https://www.un4seen.com/doc/#bassmidi/BASS_MIDI_FontInit.html)
Anyway, at first I'll try to load a well known working SF2 like FluidR3_GM or ChoriumRevA (see here for download links).
If they work, then double check that your SF2 file is not corrupted and which codec is needed to decode it.

I'm almost certain you are trying to add soundfonts in the .sfpack format. I dunno if VirtualMIDISynth can handle compressed files, but unpacking them into .sf2 format works for me. Takes more space but is less of an headache. Use the SFPACK program to uncompress. Run it as admin so it registers the .dll it comes with. http://www.synthfont.com/SFPACK.zip

Dear developer,
The site you are linking for FluidR3_GM it now contains only FluidR3_GM.sfArk, not .sf2 version and it is not working (same error in first post).
Here is a link to correct version:

Hi Everyone!
The time has finally come to update my site. I am embarrassed to say that before today, the last time I had updated Carat Cakes was back in April. There has been so much going on lately (read on to find out what!!!)
I really appreciate all of the kind words I receive from all of you who check out my site. Please keep coming back- I promise I won't wait that long to update my site again!
I do still have some other cakes/cupcakes that are not on the site, but wanted to put the majority of them in. If you don't see your cake on the site and want it to be featured, please email an electronic version of the picture.
Also, please remember when you get to the bottom of a page, you can click on "older posts" to get to more cakes!!!
Lastly, on the last 5-10 posts I only put up pictures - no descriptions. I will be going back to update each posting to include a description, but thought it was most important to get the pics up.
Special thanks goes out to my entire family- my brother especially- for getting on my case enough times lately for me to get in gear and update!
I really hope you all enjoy!!!

Long Time, No Update :(

We had a full house for once, the crowd electric with recent events.
I stood by the curtain as I had so many times before, my hand on the ropes.
It was the seventeenth of September, 1939, almost three weeks after the Nazis had invaded Poland, and we were in the sixth night of what was planned to be a ten-day run of Witkiewicz's The Madman and the Nun.
Witkiewicz himself was rumored to be in the audience, having fled Warsaw with his lover Czeslawa Korzeniowska.
The actors were more tense than usual, the backstage banter taking the tone of gallows humor.
We could hear the distant thunder of German artillery as the stage manager dimmed the lights to summon the audience to take their seats.
The shells shrieked overhead and thudded into the distant hills.
I said a quick, silent prayer that we might finish the play before the Nazis came.
Historical notes:
"The Madman and the Nun,"was written in 1923 by the Polish playwright Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz. Dadaist in its style and denunciatory in its intent, it tells the story a young poet confined in a mental hospital.
The last Polish play at the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre was produced in Autumn 1939.
During Nazi Germany occupation of Poland, the theatre was run by a German troupe.
The theatre reopened for Polish audience in February 1945.

I was driving home yesterday on the hot summer's day, and the rain was coming down in droves. Even at the fastest setting, my wipers were barely able to keep up with the downpour on the 401. I was trying to make it home as fast as I could so that I could take advantage of this opportunity! Call me crazy, but I wanted to run in the heavy rain.
They say that you should expose yourself to all kinds of conditions for running so that you will have experienced it, and be better prepared for it should it happen to you on race day. Cold weather, rainy weather, hot weather.
I made it home in good time despite the slowdown of all the cars crawling along the highway, and I continued to convince myself that this was a good idea. I peered out of the window and the rain was starting to slow. Drat!
I quickly zipped into my running gear like superman in a phone booth and off I went. I wanted to get in a good tempo run to see if I could keep up my pace in the rain, so I shot down Yonge street towards York Mills. Armed with my GPS watch, I was surprised that I made the first km in such a furious pace. The rain must've been helping me keep my body temperature in check, and I trotted on.
"More rain, more rain!", I thought to myself. It was starting to let up a bit, and I invited the fury upon me. By the time I hit the bottom of York Mills my prayers had been answered. My shirt was soaked to the bone and I was being cooled off as I ran up the monster hill on Yonge as I darted towards Lawrence.
I felt like a modern day warrior as I witnessed passerbyers cowering underneath their pithy umbrellas, trying to stave away one of the beauty's of nature. Embrace the rain I say! I could run for miles! Or so I thought.
When I hit Lawrence, it was about 7km, so it was time to turn around. The rain was starting to abade, and the hot sun was coming out to dry me off. Nooooo! It was no fun anymore. I could hear the sloshiness of my rain ridden shoes and a blister was starting to form on my right foot. My clothes went from being protectors of the water onslaught to an exercise in weighted running. I transformed back into a regular runner.
I made it back home totaling about an hour's worth of running, and I was ready to hang up my water worn shoes. I truly enjoyed running in the rain, as unideal as it was.
Let no amount of bad weather stop me!

Dear Tenko Nikolov,
A couple of days back I got an email that SiteGround is going to suspend all those accounts which have not generated any sale for the last six months. The mail did not specify whether the suspended affiliates would ever be able to make their accounts again. Anyway, for a second let's forget it. SiteGround is a good web hosting company. Especially when it comes to the support system of the company. Just a few months ago, I reviewed SiteGround thoroughly and afresh. I weighed and examined minutely every single aspect of this company and it was only when I was fully satisfied that SiteGround is a reliable host, I listed its review on my website webcusp.com. This whole process like anything which you do painstakingly took me a good many days. Put it this way, any review or comparison done impartially and meticulously takes an unbiased or a professional blogger this much time.
On webcusp.com, as a rule, I do not accept even the sponsored content of any type until I am sure of the product's reliability and features. On the whole, I should say I am an unbiased blogger who earns money by promoting only good products. Never have I put my personal interests over a user's interests, nor have out of greed I promoted a bad product. Because as I just wrote, what I ultimately value is my users faith in me and users' interests have always been my priority. Promoting a bad product and misleading a user can get me money once but can never get me a returning user. The last thing I can think of is being called a cheater, a rogue or a dummy reviewer.
I put SiteGround to every kind of test I could come up with and felt that it was a genuinely reliable host and it qualified by all means for being on the list of my top recommended hosts. So SiteGround finally ended being the second on my list of top recommended hosts. Here one thing I should mention is that of all five companies that make the list, only two offer affiliate earning. The remaining three do not help me earn anything yet it does not stop them making my list and I have added their affiliate links. And that's because what's most important to me is what's best for my customers. Quite a few visitors come to these hosting companies daily through my website, if I may say so myself. But whether they make a purchase or not, it's entirely up to them. My job is sending visitors to affiliate websites. Now an affiliate marketer can't help it if those visitors do not buy your hosting, or owing to some problem with your affiliate software an affiliate does not receive credit for a sale.
Your affiliate software does not keep any record of a referring URL (I mean for affiliates. Whether you keep such a record for yourself, I don't know.) And as far as I think, this software filters many clicks too. Anyway, it's your own policy and I have nothing much to say in this matter. I have to admit that an affiliate program is for the profit of a company and if the company feels that an affiliate is not benefiting it, the company may stop it or may disqualify a lot of affiliates like you are going to do.
If there has been no sale for the past six months, why in the first place would I ask you to let me be in your affiliate program? I wouldn't. If there were no sale for such a long time, I would rather be berating your hosting and add to my list iPage or BlueHost, the cheap hosting providers which sell much more. It would do me good. But I would not do so, because doing so would be like cheating myself rather than my readers. As long as your hosting company is good and keeps providing satisfactory and quality services, it will be on my list. Even if you disqualify me.
It all comes down to the fact that the affiliates you are going to disqualify mean nothing to you. Was it for nothing what they wrote to promote and encourage your company? Does it mean nothing to you that they have been taking pains to tell their visitors of your website and send visitors to your websites?
Nobody would argue if you disqualify an affiliate who long ago signed up and has done nothing significant for your company for ages- did not write a review, did not send visitors to your website. It seems really logical. Now think the another situation. How can you blame an affiliate who has been regularly sending visitors to your website over the last six months, but these visitors do not buy your products? Who is to blame? You are to blame, whether you admit it or not.
If a visitor does not buy your product, the problem should be with your pricing policy. Just think a moment, who would buy your hosting, if he gets just scant storage and few visitors per month at a high price (Even if you invoke the reliable support). When a customer comes to buy a shared hosting, he has on his mind: a better hosting with an economical price not a better one which cost him an arm and a leg. So do not make affiliates scapegoat and do a little self-analysis and self-observation. Give a moment to think why your hosting sells less compared to other good hosting providers.
When you run an ad-campaign on Google or Facebook, do you pay them in accordance with your sale? No. you pay them in accordance with the traffic. What I want to say is that it really matters if someone bolster up your website by promoting it and by writing good reviews on it. If a reader finds a goods review of you on my website and is tempted to visit you, no matter he at the time does not make a purchase there, but your website would definitely be in his good books. And it is highly likely that in the future he decides to buy your services.
So if I have any say in this matter, I would say in my opinion to disqualify all the affiliates who have not generated any sale cannot be justified. At least the affiliates who wrote unbiased and reliable reviews about SiteGround, helped SiteGround get visitors should not be disqualified and SiteGround really needs to think it through. The rest is up to you.

It's been a while since I wrote to you! I was able to meet my cousin's granddaughter Francesca Gail ("Frankie") over my post-Christmas holiday, which was wonderful. Like all babies, she is the most beautiful in all the world!
Friday the 20th is the inauguration of the new president. I know that some of you have voted one way, and others another, so not everyone is likely to be happy with the change, and many feel that the changes to come are going to be substantial, and perhaps not all will be welcome. I can only assure you that God loves us all, and will give us the strength to persevere through any difficulties.
Please remember that we are a community, called together by God, to be together and to care for one another as best we can. We have all taken vows to "strive for justice and peace and to respect the dignity of every human being, with God's help." We all love our country, and want our country to be the best it can be.
Be active in our towns and cities, be in touch with our local, state, and federal representatives, and, above all, PRAY for God's will to be made known and to prevail. In mutual regard and respect, we will be able to do what needs to be done. Let us pray for one another. May God's blessing be with you each day.
Love to all, Evelyn+

However when I got the game and played it I realized just how much disappointment could ruin the best day of the year. The game absolutely sucked.
Back in the day when a good movie came out a video game would follow. However most movie licenses were given to a company called LJN who would then make god awful video games which 80% of the time where beyond unplayable.
You see LJN was a toy company which made the ultra awesome WWF rubber figures back in the day. In fact most of the video games were made by toy companies back in the late 80's and early 90's. THQ which is still around today stands for the Toy Headquarters. Video games were classed as toys so thats how it all came about. Making toys and figures is one thing but programing computer games (and good ones at that) was an area they flopped at every possible opportunity.
The Game Boy game focused on trying to make this game as realistic to the movies storyline as possible and thats its main downfall.
In the first level you are in the future war and you have to blow up these communication towers in height order. Sounds easy enough but the fact you are not told to do this means you will constantly get game over screens. It was only after a day of trying everything that I eventually figured out that was what I was meant to do.
Next up we have to go inside the lab to reprogram a Terminator to send back in time to save John Connor. It's at this point I must point out that you only have one life in this game. Yup one life to go through some of the hardest most tedious shit you can ever go through in a video game. If by some miracle you can get past this bit you will then have to go through some real proper bullshit.
Now you have to reprogram the cyborg computer. Now I wasn't the cleverest of 9 year olds and hell I am not even that clever now, but this was fucking hard. You had to make sure all the wires were organized perfectly in 35 seconds. You can't even pause the game to have a look. You have to do this shit first time or it is back to the game over screen. I never got past this part of the game.. until recently. I would also like to point out that this actually takes up most of the gameplay time. Kids buy games about robots with guns because they want to blow stuff up. Not to fuck with shit circuit boards!
After that is out of the way it's pretty smooth sailing towards the end. You become Arnie and get to shoot at stuff, which was what you wanted anyway right? The strange thing about this game is the fact the difficulty decreases as the game goes on which is the opposite of what is meant to happen.
So after that theres a level where you have to destroy Cyberdine (just like the movie) and then we go to the final level which is the showdown with the T-1000 in the steel mill.
This level is pretty simple, just keep shooting the T-1000 until he falls into the lava and it's good night sweet heart. So after 20 exact years of trying to beat this game I finally did it and here was my reward..
20 FUCKING YEARS AND ALL I GET IS SOME SHITTY FUCKING TEXT WITH NO IMAGE? WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!! This is beyond an outrage, oh wait..
That makes it all better I guess. After reading this article I wouldnt advise playing this game you don't need to. I have done it for you.. for 20 fucking years!!

Woke up with an inspiration to go.
The city is full of snow like never before. Such beauty, almost fairy-tale kind of feeling. So it needs to be explored, admired and appreciated. And what better way to do it if not to use the gracious gift of the city councel of giving us free rides on all transportation on the first day of the year.
Tram-touring is the word.
You take any tram, whichever direction pleases you best and you go.
As far as you have to. Untill the end. Then you walk. And then you do it again. Preferably - routes that you would not normally go on your everyday life. And you see your city as if you had just arrived.
And you feel the wings and promises of life.
Now read it again singing along this song loudly

1959 Proposed Network:
3 separate north-south grade separated radial highways
1 new grade separated parkway
Under the 1959 Mass Transportation Plan approved by the National Capital Planning Commission in 1959, Washington, D.C. was to have a trio of 6-8 lane north-south freeways in NW and NE:
The Northwest Freeway roughly paralleling Wisconsin Avenue from the I-495 Capital Beltway, entering D.C. at Friendship Heights, before turning east to cross Rock Creek Park and the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood area to an interchange with the I-66 North Leg West of the Inner Loop at an interchange at 14th and U Streets NW.
The North Central Freeway roughly paralleling Georgia Avenue from the I-495 Capital Beltway to the interchange of the east-west I-66 North Leg West and I-95 North Leg East, and the north-south I-95 Center Leg (today's I-395 3rd Street Tunnel).
The Northeast Freeway through Brookland, on a diagonal route not seen in later studies, and not along the B&O RR as seen in later studies.
The Northwest and Northeast Freeways would have served as the south of (inside) the Beltway extensions of I-70S and I-95, with the North Central (then without an interstate highway designation) connecting to a north of the Beltway extension known as the Northern Parkway.
These three freeways would be accompanied by a George Washington Parkway roughly paralleling Canal Road along the Washington, D.C. side of the Potomac River, and connecting to the existing Whitehurst Freeway.
There would be controversy over the selection of the Northwest Freeway as inside the Beltway I-70S, with those seeking the Northwest Freeway's cancellation, advocating the North Central as inside the Beltway I-70S. That the Northwest Freeway was routed through the more politically affluent far NW D.C. would ensure its relatively early cancellation. That the North Central and Northeast as routed in 1959 would have required removing greater number of residences then the canceled Northwest, would lead to consideration of ways to reduce their local impacts. Indeed, the initial D.C. I-95 Northeast Freeway engineering study (1960) would study a number of different routes, including some through Brookland, and some near Georgia Avenue as already then envisioned for the North Central, with one option for a 4,000+ long drilled tunnel segment (4 tubes with 2 lanes each) beneath Soldiers' Home, before recommending a route towards Brookland's western edge, roughly 2 blocks east paralleling the B&O RR.

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Seems like every day there's another piece of news about the drop in Life Science venture capital (and here), with bouts of flagellation around each new quarterly press release from NVCA/PwC MoneyTree, Dow Jones VentureSource, or CB Insights. Everyone repeats the news with the same grim perspective and soon enough it just becomes well accepted fact, and runs the risk of being self-fulfilling. We all deride public investors for being too focused on quarterly numbers and yet here we are in the long-term venture industry whining about quarterly ups and downs. The reality is over the past decade Life Sciences venture capital has been incredibly stable source of capital.
Here's the data - using the 1995-2011 quarterly dataset from PWC MoneyTree and the NVCA. Life Sciences is defined here as Biotech, Pharma, and Medical Technologies.
A few takeaways:
- Since Jan 2001, Life Science investing as a percentage of total VC investing each quarter has averaged 26% with a standard deviation of only 5%. That's reasonably consistent. And in 2011, at 26%, we're squarely on that decade average. Quarterly volatility may be up, but that's reflective of the broader capital market gyrations as well.
- In terms of dollars invested per quarter, its averaged $1.6B with a standard deviation of $400M since Jan 2001. Again, quite consistent over much of the last 10 years
- LS investments as a share of VC investing are up considerably from the 2nd half of the 1990s, 3x in terms of dollar flows and 2x in terms of its share of venture flows
So the longer term data don't support the Chicken Little view of our sector.
Another common refrain is the increasing capital intensity of LS relative to other sectors. Its true that our biotech deals tend to raise more than internet startups, but the relative capital intensity vs all other sectors has been incredibly stable. The chart below plots the ratio of the percentage of dollars in VC that go to LS companies vs the percentage of the total deal numbers that are LS deals. Simply put, its a ratio that captures relative investment per deal. Its been 2.2 +/- 0.3 since 1995. So our deals haven't become more or less capital intensive vs other sectors for much of the last 15 years. In recent years, its clear most sectors have become more capital efficient - virtualization of biotechs and "lean startups" on the Tech side. More signs of consistency in our funding patterns relative to other sectors.
The conclusion for me is we should stop whipping ourselves into a frenzy about the dismantling of Life Science venture capital every time a quarterly report comes out or a firm decides to bail out on raising their next fund. We're still financing a good number of new companies. Yes, we need to improve returns in venture as an asset class and LS will do its part in improving that (starting from better position than other VC sectors I might add). Yes, we need to continually refresh the pool of VCs that have active funds to deploy. But I don't see the sky falling: Life Science is a core part of the venture community and will continue to provide a steady source of funds to startups, and hopefully quality returns to LPs

"I have been an independent automotive repair facility for the last 30 years and a NAPA Autopro for the last 6. We became involved in the T.A.C.T program in the spring of 2007. We participate in every monthly Proshop meeting, have sent our entire 8 person staff to the SIP 3 day course twice and I have personally been to it four times. My business and I are committed to this program because we have seen results that are directly attributed to the T.A.C.T program. Year-to-date (Sept 2011) I have seen our labour sales increase 22% year over year. It has been a long process developing our shop year after year but the T.A.C.T group have supported us and continue to support us the entire way. I believe in the program and look forward to further building our relationship with T.A.C.T.

Liverpool's ongoing interest in Tiago Ilori and Mamadou Sakho has hit problems.
The Anfield giants are attempting to land Brendan Rodgers the defender he so badly wants, but have baulked at Sporting Lisbon's asking price of £17million for Ilori - way above the £6m Liverpool are prepared to offer for the 20-year-old centre-half.
The Reds feel their offer is realistic, because Ilori is set to be out of contract next summer and is refusing to sign a new one.
Rodgers' move for Sakho has also run into difficulties.
French champions Paris Saint-Germain want £13m for the France international even though, like Ilori, he is scheduled to be a free agent a year from now.
Rodgers is desperate to make a breakthrough in negotiations as he has lost defenders Kolo Toure and Sebastian Coates to injury, while Martin Skrtel is only just back from a knock of his own.

Things got heated between an attendee of the White House Social Media Summit and a reporter for Playboy moments after President Trump departed the Rose Garden on Thursday.

Reporters off to the side apparently couldn't hide their disdain for conservative attendees of the meeting, and suddenly, Gorka got up and confronted Playboy reporter and CNN analyst Brian Karem.
"You're not a journalist, you're a punk!" Gorka yelled at Karem before walking away.
Here are another angles:

"Come on over here and talk to me, brother, and we can go outside and have a long conversation," he said, apparently challenging Gorka to a fight.
That's when he erupted.
"Go home," Karem said. "Go home and get a job," he told the radio host.
Attendees chanted, "Gorka, Gorka!" as he walked away.
As an aside, who knew people read Playboy for the White House articles?

The following rather random piece of writing was something I composed a few years ago when I was leading and preaching at an evening service – yes, the whole kit and caboodle. It's a strange little story, not to everyone's taste, designed to be read aloud, like an old fashioned children's story. You may find it a little corny! Originally I performed it in two parts, but I'm pasting it here in full.
The King of all the World
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a prince. He was a very young prince, still a boy, but he had great ambition to be the very best he could be. Having said that, he was not arrogant, or proud, and wished only to do the best for his small kingdom.
From the window of his palace the prince could see for miles. The plains to the east, the mountains of the north, the river winding south. And in the west he could see valleys, vast numbers of them, hills dipping down and up and down again into indistinguishable places. It was said that somewhere in these valleys lived the king of all the world. And the prince daily looked out of his window towards these valleys and wondered about this king of all the world.
One day he made up his mind. He packed all the jewels he possessed; he wore his most ornate of robes. He put his heavy crown on his head. He would need to be the most princely of princes to gain an audience with the king of all the world.
He set off with a staff to lean on, and walked the miles to the deep, deep valleys. It was further than he thought, and the crown weighed heavy on his head, his robes dragged in the dust, the jewels clinked in the sacks strapped to his back. When he reached the valleys it only grew worse. For as he walked through each deep dark valley the load grew heavier, the robes ripped and torn, his head aching and his body tired. And still he could not find the king of all the world. Many times he wondered if his search was in vain, if there was no king, if he had been told myths and lies. And when he reached what seemed to be the muddiest deepest darkest valley of them all, he began to weep. He was bruised. His feet were blistered. He ached more than he thought it was possible to ache. And worse than all of this, he lost his hope.
And with that he flew into a rage. He tossed his crown into the mud and stamped on it. He flung his jewels away from him with a scream. He tore off the rest of his sodden, damaged robes and sank to the ground.
'Where are you?' he raged, half desperate, half mocking. 'Are you really the king of all the world? I have brought you everything I could. I am a prince, and came dressed for you. I wanted to see you. I believed you would help me. What more can you want of me? What have I not done? Why do you live here where no one can find you? I hate you!… I hate you!'
Shaken to the core by his own admission, by his own sense of desperation, he curled up, lost, confused.
And the silence was the biggest silence you have ever heard.
And then the king of all the world said: 'Ah. There you are.'
And now the prince, still right where we left him, raised his head and squinted in the darkness.
'Do you think,' said the king, 'that I did not see you, wrapped up in your finery, in all you thought you should be, going through all the correct procedure, all you thought was fine and good?'
'But you were not yourself until you knelt in the dark and flung all your rage at me. Every hurt you've ever had, every dream that has ever been broken, every disillusionment with the world around you. All of these, also did I see. But you could not see me.'
The prince was struggling; never had he felt so out of control, so vulnerable, so transparent.
'Your robes did not help you see me, neither did your crown. I have no need of jewels or finery. Only you in all your honesty could truly encounter me. Only when you could admit the darkness around you, could your eyes be opened.'
'I am the king of all the world. And you did not find me. I found you.'

Holland Gardens
13428 Old Yale Road, Surrey BC (Holland Park)
About the Holland Gardens
Visit: Year Round
Time: Dawn till Dusk
Sit by the waterfall and enjoy the horticultural displays as you discover the urban beauty of the Holland gardens.
Although the park has had horticultural areas for a number of years, a major redevelopment took place in 2008 from which emerged the formal Holland Gardens, featuring tree lined promenades, water features and public art.
At the centre of the Holland Gardens is the blooming river which flows out from the central plaza towards King George Boulevard. The blooming river features a spectacular placement of floral planters on pedestals within the water.
To celebrate the revitalized park, the "Miss Holland" Dahlia was hybridized by Gordon Stach of Surrey and has been incorporated into several of the plantings. There are a number of pieces of public art in the park - several of which have a horticultural theme including a dahlia mosaic, 2 towering metal floral sculptures and pond lilies.
West of the central plaza a woodland garden frames an enclosed lawn area and is the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The woodland garden was developed with the support of Terasen Gas and its staff. Recognizing the value trees bring to the environment, our communities and library collections, the Surrey Public Library Grove was installed in 2008.
Weddings and general inquiries
Holland Park is a great place to host a small intimate wedding ceremony. The well manicured gardens are the perfect setting for your special day. For more information on weddings here and other locations within Surrey, contact 604-501-5050.

CodeSpells is a game I'm producing. It's about being a wizard. Here's the main website: codespells.org.
Here's a teaser video we made when we released our wizard soccer arena:
Honestly, you should leave this site now and go play the game. It'll be a lot more fun than reading this post about the game.
Seriously, get out of here and play it.
Go away. I don't like you.
It looks like you're still here. Fine. I shall now do my best to bore you with some history.
I coded the first version of CodeSpells in 2012. It sucked. Crappy graphics. Crappy gameplay. And a crappy in-game Java IDE. It also had creepy aliens for some reason:
For some reason the press loved it. I really don't know why we got so much coverage. Maybe the creepy aliens had something to do with it?
Actually, I do know why. It was because it was "science". I was a gradaute student and I wrote science papers about CodeSpells. Stuff from scientific journals always seems to find its way into mainstream news -- especially when it deals with mainstream topics like video games.
Anyway, I hated this prototype. I always felt that I could do better. Looking back at it reminds me of a time when I was a less talented game designer.
I'm happy to say all that's left of this prototype are some screenshots, some old news articles, and some research papers.
In 2014, I launched a kickstarter to build a new version. I asked for $50,000. We got $164,014 -- enough to fund the project for about two years.
CodeSpells has been in a playable state on Steam Early Access for much of that time. As a business person, my philosophy is to release products ASAP and iterate. Having a real community helps inform how to design games.
Our alpha and beta testers have written thousands of spells, all of which are available in-game. If you so desired, you could write spells and publish them for other users too. Sounds fun right? It almost makes me wonder why you're still here.
Did I mention you should get out of here and go buy it? You could be a wizard with just a few clicks...
By the way, I was kidding back there when I said I don't like you. Thanks for reading.

A judge in south-central Myanmar's Bago region granted bail on Tuesday to a former student activist charged with defamation by the country's powerful military, his attorney said.
Aung Htet was released on bail by the Taungoo township court because of injuries he sustained in prison, Robert San Aung said, though he did not mention the amount of bail paid.
Another prisoner at the township jail hit Aung Htet with a stone, the lawyer said, blaming the attack on lax supervision by guards and accusing prison officials of orchestrating the incident by placing rocks in the jail cell to facilitate the attack.
"Nyi Nyi Naing who is a deserter and is in prison for robbery hit Aung Htet with a stone," he said. "He's got several injuries on his head.
"He showed up at court for the hearing, and the judge checked his wound and accepted his doctor's recommendation to grant him bail," he said.
A lieutenant colonel in the military's Southern Command filed a lawsuit on Aug. 1 against Aung Htet and a man named Victor, both former members of the Student Union of Taungoo, accusing them of inciting unrest, according to the online journal The Irrawaddy.
At the time, authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of Victor, who was traveling but was expected to turn himself in to the police when he returned to Taungoo, The Irrawaddy said.
Victor still remains at large, however.
Aung Htet and Victor, who are also leaders of a music ensemble called the Kaytu Oh-Way Thangyat Group, were charged under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for defaming the military in a song they composed and sang during the Thingyan water festival in Taungoo in April.
The song called for changes to the country's 2008 constitution which was drafted by a military junta.
The provision sets a maximum punishment of two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both for those who make, publish, or circulate a statement, rumor, or report with the intent to cause fear or alarm in the public whereby someone may be induced commit "an offence against the state" or "disrupt public tranquility."
The provision usually does not allow for bail to be granted.
The date of Aung Htet's next trial is unknown.
Defamation complaint against Reuters
In a related development, Yangon region's Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein on Monday filed an official complaint against Reuters news agency, accusing it of defamation.
He cited an article Reuters published on Aug. 6 with the headline "Suu Kyi's Man in Yangon Under Fire Over Transit Deal With China" that questioned the transparency of the Yangon regional government's deals to import buses from China.
Phyo Min Thein also asked the Myanmar Press Council to "take action" against Reuters' local bureau because he says the story "wrongly accused" him of malfeasance in the public transportation deals, said the council's vice chairman Aung Hla Tun.
"We have to ask the chief minister what he wants, and which facts have offended him," he said. He wants to take action against Reuters, but what kind of action does he want? Does he want [Reuters] to make a correction if something is wrong? … We have to go over this step by step."
Phyo Min Thein told the council that the article was factually incorrect and that Reuters failed to verify the information in it with him, though the news agency said it in the report that the chief minister had declined several requests for interviews, The Irrawaddy reported, citing Aung Hla Tun as its source.
The complaint is the second one that Phyo Min Thein has filed against a news outlet.
In November 2016, he filed a case against Htut Aung, chief executive officer of Eleven Media Group, and Wai Phyo, chief editor of the Daily Eleven newspaper, because of an editorial they published accusing him of receiving a U.S. $100,000 watch from an unnamed drug tycoon who was later awarded a lucrative contract for a city transit project.
The editorial appeared in the Nov. 6 issue of Daily Eleven and was posted on Than Htut Aung's Facebook page, and the two men were charged with defamation under Section 66(d) of Myanmar's Telecommunications Law.
The section prohibits use of the telecom network to defame people and carries a jail sentence of up to three years and a fine for those who violate it.
Journalists and rights groups charge that those in power have been increasingly using repressive laws such as Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 66(d) to silence their critics.
Some rights groups believe that Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader who is widely touted as a democracy icon in the West, has failed to live up to expectations for increased freedom of the press under the current National League for Democracy government, which has been in power for nearly 17 months.
