Bel Ami Online is probably one of the best-known gay porn sites featuring Central European twinks and jocks. It's won awards, and deservedly so, seen the launch of many a porn boy career and offers you outstanding gay hardcore to stream, download or buy on video. George Duroy is the mastermind of this bonanza of boy flesh, and he and his team have an eye for the dreamy, smooth, hung, and untouchable men that we like to fantasise about while we watch their staggeringly good movies. It's been going since 1993 and now has over 2,035 exclusive movies on offer.
You will find a heady line-up of Czech, Slovak and Hungarian guys here, and others from central Europe, and they appear in hardcore movies, some behind the scenes footage, outstanding images and solos. You will meet exclusive stars such as Dolph Lambert, Christian Lundgren and peter Annuad who has one of the meatiest cocks I've ever seen on a 20-something guy. Updates happen regularly, so the site is always building, and there are some neat extras for members once you are inside this hallowed portal of porn.
Your movies are there for streaming and downloading, and there is a range of resolutions on offer to suit everyone. The top res right now is at 1,440 x 816, and there are smaller files for your portable devices such as 960 x 540 and 320 x 180. You may also still find some older files are WMV and/or MOV format, but these days we're looking at Mp4, which is much more compatible with just about everything. As I said, the quality is fantastic, and that goes for the style of filming, the lighting, sound and of course, the impossibly gorgeous youths who strip, play, fuck, suck, bone up, and shoot. I'm getting to under the collar just thinking about it.
Hot gay teen porn
I also counted 2,874 image sets, more collectables to fill your files with. There are various numbers of shots per set, with images sized from 434 x 667 from the old days, to 800 x 1,200 in the newer sets. Browse online, but without slideshows, or take them per set in zip files; either way, you get amazing shots of the guys in action, solos, and posing softcore style.
Bel Ami Online also gives its members a forum to join in with and some other neat extras. You can even chat with George Duroy via the forum, and if you want to let your thoughts be known per video, there is a function where you can leave comments. Members also get to rate the scenes and find out loads of info about them, the boys and the company itself. The pages are well designed, and the whole site gives no hassles, but if you have issues, you will find help on hand. Having said that, sometimes when I used my back button, I found myself out on the tour and not where I had been. That glitch might have been seen to by now. Importantly, you've got a model index, and also search options could be improved and made more detailed, but you can browse through the guys selecting who you want to see more of.
You really are looking at the cream of the Euro-porn crop at BelAmi Online where over 2,000 exclusive videos feature some of the continent's more desirable youth. The boys are aged 18 to 25 or so and sport big cocks, low balls full of youthful jizz, and the whole thing is packaged up in a site that's member-friendly and regularly updates. With the addition of HD, the forum, the interactive elements, images and more, you get a smooth ride and a value-packed membership that takes you to the heart, asses and dicks of the creamiest gay porn in Europe.…

Brand Age
The age of brands in the Top 50 is relatively young by global standards, if not quite as young as the China index, which includes many technology-focused brands which are inherently young.
The average age of Indonesian brands in the Top 50 is 45 years old, though there are some very old brands whose heritage is not reflected in this average. The second-highest ranked brand, the bank BRI, for instance, is more than a century old, and Dji Sam Soe, the brand of clove or kretek cigarettes that ranks ninth in the Top 50, dates back to 1913.
To be eligible for inclusion in the Top 50, brands must be owned by a publicly listed company. In other markets, particularly China, the brands that have achieved such scale in just a few years have been fast-growing technology companies. The scarcity of young brands in the Indonesian Top 50 brands reflects the fact that technology brands in Indonesia have yet to achieve significant scale.
Those few Top 50 brands launched since 2004 include two cigarette brands launched by a parent company with decades of heritage and several older brands in their stable, along with a property developer. The only relatively new brand to reflect a real shift in the consumer market is Hypermart (ranked 23rd and launched in 2004). Hypermarkets began to launch in Indonesia in the 1990s, but it was only in the 2000s that this way of shopping became the phenomenon it is now.
The younger half of brands in the Indonesia Top 50 are together worth US$29.9 billion, and the older half are worth slightly more, US$34.7 billion.
The relative youth of Chinese brands can be explained by the reforms and opening up of the Chinese economy, a process that began in 1978.
The older brands in the index reflect the early stages of Indonesia's economic development; they are predominantly banks, while the FMCG brands that have made the Top 50 came later.
Brand Ownership
All brands in the Indonesia Top 50 are publicly listed, but the ownership of their shares varies; in some cases, a portion of shares is owned by the Indonesian government, and in others, there is a multinational parent company that owns a stake in the listed company. The Indonesian Top 50 brands are dominated, in both number and value, by private brands – those with neither a government nor multinational parent.
There is also a strong showing by multinational brands. Most of the state-owned brands in the ranking are older brands, and tend to be in the banking sector.
Brands owned by multinationals outperform the rest of the Top 50 on measures of saliency and how loved they are – but this is likely to be a reflection of the categories in which multinational brands have launched, primarily FMCG categories, rather than the fact they are owned by a multinational parent.
The strong performance of private and multinational brands in this market shows that that for international brands with hopes of expansion into Indonesia, there is ample opportunity for success. While home-grown brands dominate the Top 50, those that have been imported and have done well have proved popular because they have adapted to reflect local needs and values.

I would like an admin option to change the default to require a password so folks do not have to remember and do not accidentally share a file unintentionally. The idea is that if we share a file with a particular customer they need to log in to see it, if it is not locked down then someone else can get the url and see it without logging in.

Today it was just us at the site. And by "just us" I mean the 7 of us. It was fun to be able to spend the day just with the family and to see how they would pitch in to help without being asked. They are a great bunch of kids and we are so proud of them and so glad they are taking ownership of this new house!
Only 2 things on the schedule for today but 2 very important things. First off, we needed to remove all the forms from the footings. That required us to loosen and remove the stakes then loosen and remove the 2x10s and then remove all the nails from the 2x10s. Though they were used as forms for the footings, they will be used again as headers for the windows and doors. Therefore, we removed all the nails now to ensure they are ready to be used when the time comes.
You will notice we do not discriminate based on age or gender. Young and
old younger, male and female - are all welcome to help!
Once all the forms and wood were taken care of, Jay brought loads and loads (and loads and loads and loads and loads and . . . . I am sure you get the hint) of gravel. The whole inside of the cement forms need to be filled level with gravel. It is the drainage under the house. 2 large trucks brought some loads this morning and after lunch and for the remainder of the day (Jay is still out there working as of right now, 10pm) we moved that gravel around.
And while some of us were busy working, some of us were . . . ummm . . . measuring the sky?
Looking super cute?
And others? Well, we aren't quite sure what he was doing! :)
Today was a physically tiring day. All of us but Jay had to leave at 4:30 in order to bake and eat supper and for me to coach RJ's soccer team at their practice. The weather turned cold and windy. It is not pleasant out there. And yet Jay still works hard in hopes that we can be ready to set the walls in place tomorrow (my goodness, do I love that man! ♥). Lifting Styrofoam blocks will seem so easy after shovelling gravel, that is for sure!

Hello everybody! How's the fall been treating you? My semester has been a marvelous mess. There was the death of close friend, stress and anxiety issues, and a collegiate crisis (lack of direction) all of which are since being dealt with. I've decided that books, reading, and literature are the three things I might love most so they are what I'm going to pursue for now. That's not to say that French is on the so called "back-burner." I choose to focus more on what makes me happy and what is worth pursuing – in my personal opinion – so I'm dedicating my free time to creative endeavors. This includes knitting, reading, writing, eating, and painting. That being said, I'm also rededicating myself to this lovely blog and my even more lovely readers. I don't have much to report as this is a recent revelation but I surely will soon. While we are in the discussion of momentous life occasions I will take this time to encourage you to do the same. Death isn't irrelevant anymore. It's something that every one of us could face at any given moment but I refuse to be loose faith. I adamantly denounce pessimistic living and negativity but there's something to be said for awareness. When you're aware of life's fragility, you (hopefully) are more likely to seize your opportunities and find happiness in all of your experiences. I'm trying to live by the motto "Carpe Diem," but not in the macabre way. I just know I'm not guaranteed all my days so I'm going to make the most of what I'm given. Starting with what makes me happy. I hope you'll do the same.

Comics: The Temple of a Thousand Tears, @$$hole
Let's start with the basics. Can we have some basic information about you (name, location, occupation, shoe size)?
Oh man, you ask the personal questions first. There's no warm up first? No "foreplay," as it were? Alright, here we go:
1) My name really is Trevor A Mueller
2) I live in Ann Arbor, MI (the state where you actually can get frost bite and sun burn in the same day)
3) I work as an integrated communications strategist for an advertising agency in Dearborn (and that's the easy title for my job)
4) I have 10.5"-11" shoe size, depending on the brand
One of your comics is The Temple of a Thousand Tears. Why exactly did you pick an unnamed samurai as a protagonist?
Ah, the beloved swordsman. Originally when I started penning this tale back in the day, I was going to have some mystery thrown in about whether or not the swordsman could be an immortal Abraham, still walking the earth and looking for (insert MacGuffin here), or could he possibly be this legendary samurai that saved a town from one of the last dragons in the land? Or could he be both?
After a few months of playing around with several ideas, I lost interest in the mystery and decided to just keep him nameless for the time being. As I started the comic, Kill Bill finally came out and I thought to myself, "Why the hell didn't they give The Bride a freakin' name? That's so lame." Then the irony hit me, and I shut my mouth. To this day, I swear that Tarantino stole that device from me.
If you're reading this, Quentin, I want my 10%.
Now, you have two main comics that are updating at the moment, The Temple of a Thousand Tears and the tactfully named @$$hole, both of which have completely different tones. Which do you find more fun to do?
I think that after having worked on Temple for so long, which is an emotional rollercoaster and was kind of an outlet for me to deal with the social and political climate post September 11, I needed a release from the melodramatic situations and characters that I had created. Instead of working as an way to vent my thoughts, beliefs, and frustrations, it actually started to create some problems for me. I needed an outlet from my outlet. Also, I wanted to put a bald guy with my messed-up nose in it. I was writing a horror story at the time, but tabled that because I needed something funny to bring me out of my funk.
Then I started working on @$$hole, based on a way to (more directly) vent about everything in the world that was bugging me, and do it in a comedic way. But even as I started the comic, I wasn't happy with the lack of direction. The comic needed a focus of some kind. So one day I was bored and sat down to watch "The Ring 2" and "Ringu 2" back-to-back (yes, I have no life) and noticed all of these differences between them. Namely, that the American movie was just so bad - like, beyond terrible. I needed to rant about it, but then the brainstorm hit me - why the hell not make the little girl a regular character in the comic?
This solved so many problems that I was having when I wanted to vent about bad roommates (and not implicate anyone that I had actually lived with). "Susie," as I call her, would be the ultimate bad roommate.
So, to answer your question in a very round-about way, I enjoy working on both for different reasons. They both allow me to exercise different creative parts of my brain. @$$hole! is just more recent, and like a new baby, it tends to demand a little more of my time. But I don't mind. ;)
Where do you get inspiration and ideas for your comics?
Temple was very much inspired by music, namely the theme song to Xenosaga 2 - a song titled "Image." The combination of orchestrial strings, Japanese vocals, and techno beat was what got the ideas started. The game wasn't out yet, but the trailer for it had been released and I kept streaming it off the internet to hear the song. After listening to the song on repeat for about 3 days straight (not an exaggeration), I finally had a story that I was interested to tell - which was nothing like the story that I actually ended up telling.
I then started to do some actual research. You know, that thing they have you do in school for reports and stuff. I started watching a boat-load of samurai flicks (Twilight Samurai, Samurai Fiction, The Last Samurai, anything I could get my hands on directed by Akira Kurosawa, etc) and it wasn't until I watched "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" that I truely started to understand what it meant to live Bushido.
I picked up the book that the movie quotes constantly, "The Hagakure," which is a series of quotes from the retired samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo, a former retainer to Nabeshima Mitsushige, the third ruler of what is now the Saga prefecture in Japan. The book gave me a completely new perspective on the lifestyle of a samurai, and from there the story changed dramatically.
@$$hole! is very much inspired by real life situations and frustrations with current events, both social and political. Movies, the "Hollywood process," petrolium prices, and lazy roommates are all things that jump to mind. I wanted to tell jokes about things that ticked me off, basically, and without being an "ass hole" to the people who thought I was bitching about them. Also, it was my first attempt at telling jokes in a comic that was intended to be funny.
Are you more of a writer or an artist?
I keep going back and forth, honestly. I do enjoy writing and I think I'm better at crafting a story in words than I am visually (see early pages of Temple, where people have bobble-heads). But I originaly got into comics because I wanted to be an artist. Eventually I realized that it was a lot of work and that there was a plethora of people out there more talented than I, so I switched my focus to writing.
Currently, I'm focusing more on my writing than my art. I do still flex my artistic muscles on @$$hole and Temple covers (and I will be doing the art for the Temple prequel, entitled "Bushido"), but I'm mostly focusing on my writing skills at this time.
Keeping a comic updated is always important. What motivates you to keep on working your comics?
"What's my motivation, Mr Director?" Sorry, bad Hollywood reference.
Temple was a tricky one, because it was my first web comic and I was doing a pretty good job at maintaining a weekly update schedule…and then I started to not like what was happening. I knew the tragedy that had befallen these characters, and that was coming up down the road, and I just couldn't take it. There's a term for when a writer becomes too attached to his fictional characters - the term escapes me at the moment - but I was definitely experiencing that. After a few breaks, I finally came back with Chapter 6 and said, "I'm going to do this and I'm going to finish strong. Not because I want to, but because I have to." I needed to get my message out there. I needed people to understand how I felt and why I thought that way.
@$$hole was a dare, actually. I was dared to update a comedy comic once per week for a whole year. So I did. After that, I received another dare (this time from my buddy Josh who works for TokyoPOP) to updated every day in black and white, with a color update on the weekend. "Are you frickin' nuts!?!" I had replied. "I have no life as it is with one update per week, much less trying to update every bloody day!"
Eventually, we settled on 3 black and white updates per week for 3 months, to test it out. It's been tough, but I am well on my way to the 41 page finish (which will be in May). After that, the comic will go back to regular Friday updates in color.
Really. Who the hell is Josh from Tokyopop? Seriously.
Ha ha ha! Josh is my buddy that I met at Wizard World Chicago one year, pimping a few of his books in artist's alley. He writes "Mail Order Ninja" for TokyoPOP, as well as a few issues of "Batman Strikes" for DC. He's just a really awesome guy, and he challenged me to do more (and do better) than I was. And for everyone who knows me, I do enjoy a good challenge.
What do gain the most from doing webcomics like these?
The sappy answer to this question is "I gain the knowledge that someone has read and reacted to my stories," which may sound like a load of BS, but in truth is sits very well with me. The knowledge that people are reading my stuff, commenting on my pages, and even e-mailing me and talking to me at the cons is great! I received an e-mail the other day from someone about how they were talking with their roommate about who was going to live or die in Temple - for hours!
There's a quote in the Hagakure that goes like this:
"Once when Lord Mitsushige was a little boy and was supposed to recite from a copybook for the priest Kaion, he called the other children and acolytes and said, 'Please come here and listen. It's difficult to read is there are hardly any people listening.' The priest was impressed and said to the acolytes, 'That's the spirit in which to do everything."
Basically, what I take from this quote is that there's no reason to read if there's no one to listen - likewise, there's no reason to write unless there's someone to read it. Therefore, from now on whenever someone asks me why I work on web comics, I reply with, "Because there are people who enjoy reading them." Ultimately, you're all the reason that I do and continue to do web comics.
Look into the crystal ball. What do you think the future holds for you and your projects?
"Yes…I will give you the contents of my wallet…."
I have a goal to start printing something - anything - before the end of the year. I'm already planning to print the current @$$hole! storyline, which may debute at Wizard World Chicago. Temple will be trickier to print, since when I first started it I didn't know all the little tricks about printing a book…like DPI and whatnot. That was my fault.
But as for the future of the web comics, they're going to keep going. Temple has several prequels in the works:
1) The Legend of Abraham: Starting in May, Olivia Kasle do the art for a 25 page watercolored fairy tale that details the events that Abraham went through to cause a religion to form around him. This comic will update on the regular Temple site, as well as on the Drunk Duck site (no new URL), on Mondays - with continuning Fan Art Fridays.
2) Bushido: After Abraham, we'll see the events of the fateful day when the swordsman's family was attacked, and learn a few secrets along the way that even he was not aware of (hint: the Bishops didn't attack his house to find the missing 7th Key of Abraham).
3) Genocide: Olivia is working with me on the design work, and may jump back on art duties for this prequel about Sophia long before she ever met the swordsman. This story will set the stage for the events of the first sequel to the comic, which is….
4) Holy War: The sequel to the original Temple story, which takes place approximately 16 years later. The world has changed completely after the events of the original story, and the few characters that have survived must undertake a new journey to far off lands to protect a little boy who may actually be a decendant of the fabled Abraham.
As for @$$hole, I have a few story arcs planned for the comic, but I'm going to take a break from longer stories for a little while and just try to tell some jokes. The first will be a series of events (some true, some fictional) that take place at comic conventions. Also, Susie has just started a job, so I can tell some funny stories about working in a coffee shop / cyber cafe….
Wait a second, if I'm looking into your cyrstal ball, shouldn't YOU be telling ME what the future holds? Honestly: worst psychic ever….
Trying to keep updating while holding a good job and social life must be hard. Or so I heard, the details are fuzzy when it comes to the latter two. Anyways, what do you to unwind from the stress?
Comics are a great way to unwind and vent my frustrations, honestly. But for those few times when drawing someone cutting through armies of armored dudes simply isn't enough, I play violent video games. I'm a little behind the times, so I'll pop in GTA: San Andreas (yeah, I know, I'm not quite done with it yet), or Rogue Galaxy or Final Fantasy 12.
At last, ten semi-serious questions done. Some more 'light hearted ones now' X-Ray vision or super speed?
Well, I'm already quick like the wind (except where it matter, ladies), so I'd go for some of that x-ray vision. Not that I need it, mind you - people have a natural tendancy to dis-robe around me.
…no, seriously.
Would sacrifice your right hand for a million dollars?
I dunno, I use my right hand for a lot of things (like drawing those comics everyone enjoys reading). But make it 2 million and I'll think about it…. ;)
Having hair on your head is delightful, why do you want to be bald?
This is a silly story. My friend Cory went to film school and in order to graduate, he had to make two movies: a short and a feature. He filmed the short, which I did story boards for, and then he was working on some ideas for the feature and asked if I would mind playing the lead - a bald vampire. My hair had been getting shorter and shorter through the years anyway (and honestly, thiner on top too), so I said why not.
Then he never films the movie. What a jerk.
Seriously, who is Josh from Tokyopop?
Alright, twist my arm - I made him up. I'm a writer, and most of what comes out of me is complete and utter fiction. I'm really a sad and pathetic person with no friends, who lives in his mother's basement and flames people on the internet all day for fun. I tried to play sports in high school (because only the cool kids play sports), but when I didn't make the cut I faked a bum knee and invented an imaginary popular friend named Josh. Josh has done it all: dangerous top secret government assassinations, spending the better part of his college days on a pirate ship in the Pacific and looting drug cartel cargo, and even traveling to other planets and fighting alien invasions.
If we haven't heard about it, then he's done his job. Now the question you need to ask yourself is this: which answer is the real fiction? :P
Now, plug three other comics.
I'll assume you mean Drunk Duck comics. I read a LOT of comics on here, so it'll be hard to pick just three, but here goes:
: I can't help it, I love this book. The artwork resembles something out of Frank Miller and Mike Mignola combined! I know that Midge doesn't need anyone to pimp his stuff, but I get goosebumps whenever I see that he's updated. Truely awesome stuff.
A Bit Cheesy: Fitz does such an amazing job of including imagry (beautiful imagry) into each and every single page, with near picture-perfect renderings of the subject matter. And the subtext thrown in throughout his narration and dialogue is top-notch. It's a very deep comic about the awkwardness of love - even if it's only one-sided.
Lack of Ethics: Short_Circuiting has a very unique style which is both simple yet dynamic. It's a cute story with a colorful and sacrastic cast, and the about of imagination that she puts into each and every page blows my mind! Lately she's doing what I've been trying, and sacrificing color for an increase in her update schedule to get a story out faster, and it has been working for her! Her pages have been improving by leaps and bounds, and it's always great to see an artist's style mature over time.

Markham Web Design and Digital Marketing
Markham gained its name from the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe (in office 1791–1796), who named the area after his friend, William Markham, the Archbishop of York from 1776 to 1807. The first European settlement in Markham occurred when William Berczy, a German artist and developer, led a group of approximately sixty-four German families to North America. Through much of Markham's history the community has been described as an agricultural community with a lot of German influence. We appreciate the demography of Markham and are happy to be contributing our Markham web design skills to the business community of Markham, Ontario.
Here are some Markham web design samples:
Targeting Markham Local Businesses
Web design depends much on understanding target market demographics. Knowing how a local community thinks is the foundation to persuasive Markham web design. Markham economic commodity employed the largest proportion of workers in Markham ie. 22% of its labour force. The city also has over 900 technology and life sciences companies, with IBM as the city's largest employer. A number of international companies also have their Canadian headquarters located in Markham, including: Honda Canada, Hyundai, Advanced Micro Devices, American Express. Johnson & Johnson, Apple Inc., Avaya, IBM, Motorola, Oracle, Toshiba, Toyota Financial Services and Honeywell. To compete in this city's economy you will need a very strong web presence. Toronto Web Design company DTW understand the community. DTW can create an effective Markham Web Design for you to target businesses in Markham.
Website Templates
Small businesses anywhere often jump on the chance to set up a WordPress website. Some variation of a do-it-yourself Web Design templates and Markham small businesses often tend to do little good. While templates are easy and affordable, to establish your brand you will always need custom elements to stand out of the crowd. Of course, the primary benefits of a template site are simplicity and cost; however your brand can get buried among thousands of similar web designs so even if you pick a design you need web design company to customize template for a distinctive look.
Generic Design
Once you find a template you like, you can take it for granted that there are thousands of other people with the same exact template. Having the same exact design as everyone else is certainly not a good branding strategy. You want a Web Design that is unique and fits the culture and branding of your company. That's why it's imperative for you to have a custom Web Design. A design that differentiates you from your competition regardless if it's on Joomla or WordPress platform. You can use any open source platform as long as your branding is unique. Differentiate your business from millions of other ordinary businesses.
Manage & Update
When it comes to effective Web Design, there's a lot of back end coding that takes place. The back end coding includes, HTML, CSS, SEO, JavaScript, Sitemaps, and more, which makes it easy to make changes and updates. However, when you use a template site, making changes can be difficult or just impossible. It's important to find a good Web Design company to design your website in a way that is easy to manage and update. A website that has custom tools added for you to quickly update unique data that are of utter importance to your company. You still cut cost by not having the entire website custom but the parts imperative to your business.
Building A Corporate Website for a Markham Business
Light industries and businesses began to move into Markham in the 1980s attracted by land and lower taxes. Today, it claims to be "Canada's Hi-Tech Capital" with a number of key companies in the area, such as IBM, Motorola, Toshiba, Lucent, Honeywell, Apple, Genesis Microchip, and is home to the head office of graphics card producer ATI (recently merged with AMD). It also houses hundreds of smaller tech and digital marketing companies. If you want to establish your business in this city, you will need a strong web presence and DTW can help you attain that goal.
If you need local marketing, hosting and-or web design in Markham then give us a call. We provide effective local marketing solutions at a reasonable price. You can also request a free Quote using our contact form.


text: Star Wars™ R2-D2 Cake Pan 5 "Great cake mould" 25 June 2015 I recently did a practice run with this for my son's 6th birthday next month. Having read previous reviews, I coated the mould liberally with cake release (using a pastry brush). I'm not much of a "from scratch" baker and I was very happy to find the mould was the perfect size for 3 boxes of vanilla sponge cake mixes (which in total uses 9 eggs). I cooked it low and slow, about 100 minutes on 160 degrees. The cake came out perfectly, cooked through and only a little browned on the feet. I've yet to decorate on but when I do I will use the mould to get detail on the fondant icing.

Depravity are Australian, so sadly it isn't the much awaited return of the ghostly Finnish legends BUT that is no bad thing, as these toxic Australians are bringing death metal to new realms of savagery, punishing us all with their debut full length 'Evil Upheaval'. Due out at the end of April on Transcending Obscurity, this is another gem of a record unearthed from Down Under.
Is Australia so hot because it's closer to Hell? Because this goddamn album comes roaring from the underworld with precision, insane riffing frenetics and some absolutely beastly vocals. Opening tracks 'Manic Onslaught' and particularly the crushing 'Insanity Reality' smash forth with unholy fire and murderous intent. Imagine if Morbid Angel had dropped 'Altars of Madness' today, and you'd be on the way to imagining the serpentine brutality of Depravity. Maddening solos stab outward from hurricanes of blastbeats, while swirling dark melodies wreathe dense growls in atmospheric glee. The malignant loom of 'Repugnant' is monstrous, while the chaotic sensibilities of 'The Great Divide' provides the merest hint that this record could descend further into madness if provoked. Depravity channel the greats of modern death metal like Hour of Penance while also conjuring the uneasy atmosphere of the likes of Immolation.
Not often can a death metal band capture both the essences of old school and modern death metal in one record. 'Evil Upheaval' is a new benchmark in soul destroying death metal this year. It is so heavy, so brutal and yet so accessible. Instantly gratifying and unrelenting, labyrinthine song structures begin to unfold with multiple listens, while it never loses any of its hard hitting impact. You'd struggle to top this for pure death metal fury this year.

Friends of my husband gave us their timeshare at the Hawaiian Princess. I was really excited since I had never been to Hawaii before. We were warned that it was in a "depressed part of the island" where many of the workers lived. Nevertheless, it was the impetus for this great trip for us.
The Hawaiian Princess is in an area called Makaha which is in the northwestern part of the island, about three quarters of the way up the western coast. It is a gated high rise with 16 floors, the highest building for miles on a nice beach. There is a swimming pool and hot tub outside as well as a small park to the left of the building.
We were given our key and fob (used to open gates and elevator) and parking pass. We had a nice one bedroom corner unit. As we arrived around 5:15 we noticed that the sun was streaming into our unit and it made the unit very hot. We did have a gorgeous sunset from our wrap around balcony. The kitchen was well appointed except for the dull knives and no staples except for take-out salt, pepper and sugar. It did come with a small box of dishwasher detergent, a sample box (like you would buy in a laundromat) of detergent for washing our clothes in the washer/dryer that is in our unit.
We were warned not to go into the park next to us as it was a bit sketchy. Other than one morning seeing a many who had slept there all night, it didn't appear to be sketchy but we heeded the warning anyway.
Our first morning we drove to Schofeld Barracks in the center part of the state to get information from the Leisure and Travel office on base. We booked tickets for the next day at the Polynesian Cultural Center but did not book the luau. In our travel guide book "Oahu Revealed" it suggested we would do better having a luau on another island as they tended to be smaller. in numbers
After the "housekeeping duties" were complete, we headed up to the North Shore where I had to have a Shave Ice at Matsumoto's General Store in Haleiwa. Apparently this is extremely famous and I had actually seen something about it the week before on one of the travel channel. We also got a shrimp dish at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck – very good.
As we drove up the shore, we noticed all the red flags around the beaches. The surf was breaking right at the shoreline and the water was rough. No one except surfers and boogie boarders were in the water. The sand was also a coarse.
After a long drive, we went back to our condo. Next up, Polynesian Cultural Center.

The Joy and Pain of Being a Rugged Individualist
Very few people could survive today without our government supplied services. Unhappy with government, then change it, don't get rid of it.
Jerry: Exactly. I can't believe how many people can't grasp -- or refuse to accept -- the fact that unless you're living on your own private island with your own food supply and your own doctor right there on the premises 24/7, you're dependent on government services.
Well some of us work hard, had ancestors that built this country, and pay taxes unlike those illegal immigrants, welfare cheats, certain races, billionaires (scratch the last one), and WE deserve those services!

Item Number: 5400
Manufacturer Part Number: 5400
For Cleaning up Pet Messes anywhere!
Support Material
Odorpet® ready-to-use formulation is an odor counteractant and cleaner "for pet messes anywhere!" An outstanding pet odor eliminator ideal for cleaning up pet messes. It can be used on carpeting, furniture, pet bedding, carriers, and indoor and outdoor surfaces. OdorPet is totally organic, biodegradable, and has a near neutral pH so it can be used on all surfaces as frequently as needed. Its bio-active formulation of stabilized bacterial spores (plus other proprietary pet odor eliminators) produce enzymes in the presence of organic animal debris. Just spray this ready-to-use formula and leave on surfaces and allow to air dry. OdorPet goes to work to break down the pet debris immediately and then over time reduces it to a solution of CO2 and water to eliminate the source of the pet odor and make cleaning up pet messes easy. Also an effective carpet pet stain remover, OdorPet can be used in cat litter boxes to control pet odors (outstanding for breaking down pet urine), to clean bird cages and small animal housing. OdorPet has a pleasant and popular black cherry scent. The best pet odor eliminator you can buy.
We have used this product for about a year and absolutely love it!! It has a great lavender scent. We use it to clean our puppy equipment and it works great!!!
while my son was in the process of building a new home, he and his family needed a place to stay and this included his 12 year old dog, Deno. Being a dog lover, I was more than happy to have them all stay with me. But, I wasn't happy that Deno loved to use my sun porch as his personal bathroom. After six months of deno using my sunroom as a toilet, you can only imagine what the smell was like. I must have tried at least 10 different stain and odor remover on that carpet, but nothing worked. I was just about to have the entire room re-carpeted, when my groomer told me about OdorPet. She said she has been using it for years and it works wonderful, so I bought a bottle for $12.99. Within a day of spraying the carpet with OdorPet, the BAD urine smell was totally GONE! It was the best $12.99 I ever spent. I just wished I had told my groomer about my problem sooner. That $12.99 saved me over $700.00 on a new carpet.
Thanks Alpha Tech Pet!!

"Threats against Russian journalists and journalists covering Caucasus are a shameful reality. Unfortunately, law enforcement and regional authorities are not taking it seriously. We do remember threats against Dagestan correspondent of Caucasian Knot Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev. Authorities refused to investigate the threats, despite calls from professional community. On 9 July 2013, he was shot outside his house, after his name was added to a hit list for being critical of local law enforcement. More than 25 journalists have been killed in the Caucasus in the last 25 years. Most of them covered corruption and violation of human rights. All of them have been threatened many times before killings. I do hope that Russian authorities will react on this shameful case. The speaker of Chechenian parliament must be punished, according to the Russian legislation. It is high time to end impunity for threats and acts of violence against journalists."
- Nadezda Azhgikhina, vice-president of the European Federation of Journalists
In a statement issued on 9 January 2017, the European Federation of Journalists said: 'The Speaker of the Chechen Parliament, Magomed Daudov, tried to intimidate Gregory Shvedov, the editor-in-chief of Caucasian Knot (Kavkazsky Uzel), an independent online news site that covers the Caucasus, focusing on human rights violations. The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) strongly condemned this shameful intimidation.'

WeArt Festival is pleased to announce the WeArtist 2013, Julia Dierickx-Brax. This young Parisian artist, graduated in Fine Arts from Sorbonne's University, amply deserves to be the WeArtist 2013 because of the originality of his work and the use of a unique material: small nails interwoven with threads that weave plots and join points generating large and three-dimensional images, such as the feeling that conveys her work, tranquillity and harmony that transport the viewer to an eternal dream.
You can visit her exhibition at the opening of Weart Festival, within the Street Art section, the next October 11, in Studiostore gallery, between 10:30 to 19:30 p.m.
As Laura Clement, Director of La Pan Gallery says, "Her drawings come from observation of the sleepy body and reflect on the unconscious state of human as a metaphor for eternal sleep". You can not miss it!

Help us congratulate ISPA member Australia Council for the Arts on their appointment of Tony Grybowski as their new CEO. Below is the official press release sent out on May 16th, 2013.
Chair of the Australia Council for the Arts, Rupert Myer AM today
welcomed the announcement by Minister for the Arts, the Hon. Tony Burke
MP that Tony Grybowski has been named as the Australia Council's new
"The members of the Council, our staff and members of artistic
communities across Australia join me in expressing our delight that Tony
has been appointed CEO, effective immediately," said Mr Myer.
"Tony has been Executive Director, Arts Organisations at the Australia
Council for the past five years and is well known to artists and arts
organisations for his passion and commitment to creativity.
"He knows the arts landscape very well and from all perspectives – as a
musician, an arts administrator and a member of state and federal
funding organisations. He has worked extensively with youth and
community arts and will bring a unique blend of experience to the role
of CEO."
Tony Grybowski has spent a lifetime in the arts that include many
years as a performing musician. In Arts Administration, Tony has 25
years of experience which include management positions with the Sydney
Symphony, Musica Viva Australia and seven years as General Manager of
the Australian Youth Orchestra. He also spent a period with the
State Government of Victoria at Arts Victoria. His experience covers
work with individual artists across the spectrum of art forms and arts
organisations, both large and small, in Australia and internationally.
Tony Grybowski said he was honoured to be taking on the role. "For
me, this is the best job in Australia. Being vitally involved in
nurturing and supporting creative expression of all kinds, at a time
marked by technological change and extraordinary innovation in the
sector, is a challenge of the most exciting kind.
"With the announcement of the new National Cultural Policy, Creative
Australia and passage of the legislation to make the Australia Council
more flexible and responsive will come great opportunity. I see an even
more exciting future for the arts in Australia and for the Council's
role, including the new proposed Sector Strategy Panels, in supporting
and developing a more creative and enriched community," he said.
Mr Myer praised Libby Christie who has acted in the role of Chief
Executive since 1 January for navigating the organisation through an
unprecedented period of change that included the release of Creative
Australia and the introduction of the new Australia Council legislation
into Parliament.
"We are very fortunate to have an executive of Libby's talent within our
ranks and we thank her for her stewardship of the organisation at an
extremely active time for the arts sector."
Mr Myer said Tony Grybowski's appointment comes after an extensive search.
"We naturally cast our net widely, but were very pleased to find our
internal succession planning has delivered us the outstanding
candidate," he said.

I wonder how difficult it is to do a home-made puff pastry. Almost can't remember the last time I had those pastry with nice crunchy layers of flakes and the filling that stays moist and juicy. Hmmm, I think it was in New Zealand a couple of months ago. In a deli by the beach somewhere in Auckland. The beach was not so exciting, but the pastry and coffee…. whoa my God! Unbelievably good!
Good pastry is such a rare thing in China, especially in secondary cities where most households hardly knew about baking, mixer is a rare thing to find here. I've been looking for one for quite some time. Unless it's a medium-scale bakery business, local people don't bake at home. Not as a hobby, not as a weekend ritual or daily routine.
Back to the puff pastry, don't think I can find a ready-made in the cold section in supermarket. Need to ask David to help me with this someday when he's not too busy. Chicken Puff will have to wait…. but I still can make Chicken Pie 😀
Ingredients for Pie Crust:
* 200 gr butter
* 300 gram all purpose flour
* 80 gr plain yoghurt
* 1 egg yolk
* pinch of salt
* bit of grated cheese
Mix all the pie crust ingredients, check if it's moist enough.
Mix in yoghurt bit by bit. Set aside in a fridge for 45 mnts or until hard enough to mold
Ingredients for Filling:
* 1 pc large onion – sliced
* 3 pcs garlic – minced
* 2 pcs carrots – cubed
* 2 chicken breast fillet – cubed
* button mushrooms – sliced
* a little bit of parsley/spring onions – chopped
* 2 tbs corn starch
* salt, pepper, sugar, nutmeg powder to taste
1.) Cook onion + garlic until fragrant. Add chicken cubes, carrots.
Cook until almost tender
2.) Stir in salt, pepper, sugar, nutmeg, spring onions/parsley, mushroom.
3.) When chicken & carrots are tender, mix in the cornstarch and let it thickens.
4.) Set aside, ready for filling into the pie.
5.) Shape the dough, as it will be quite moist, at the base of the pan.
6.) Put the filling in the middle. Top with a layer of dough, soften the surface to cover the edges.
7.) Coat the top with egg yolk. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C for half hour
or until it turns bright yellow

A year ago Donnis and I were married. It is only 27th in Canada so she can celebrate tomorrow. When she arrives home in about two weeks we will try to go out somewhere for dinner…
Ballad of Battle of New Orleans
North to Alaska
And a host of other Ballad / Folk songs which were popular at the time and which I am not going to compile a list of here.
I do find that often when people are talking to me, a song fitting their comments will pop into my mind. It happens on an almost daily basis.
Saturday 2nd last day of February 2010.
The last two days has been raining. Heavy at times and it has dropped the temperature and humidity. In fact I was able to sleep unassisted the last two nights. Assisted sleep means in an air-conditioned room.
The Outrigger people are in town for the first North Queensland Zone event of the year. Once I was part of this competitive fraternity, paddling for the Sunset Bay Club. In fact I was President of the Club for 2 years.
Sunday. Raining on and off. Humidity is WHEW!
The good ship Queen Mary II arrived here this morning and is anchored off Airlie and it is mighty impressive in size. I tried to take photos but all the best vantagepoints have something in front of them. Also on full zoom it is difficult to hold the camera steady. Plus the wind is blowing directly onto the camera. Thankfully my Panasonic FZ 50 is equipped with auto "Shake" correction although it cannot perform miracles.

Syrian government loves the password 12345
The Syrian government could use some training on web security.
Anonymous has released hundreds of e-mails the group claims it obtained by hacking a mail server used by Syrian President Bashar al Assad's office. But a look at the list of e-mail addresses and passwords released shows a hack wasn't necessary—all that was needed to gain access to Syria's sensitive information was one of the world's most common passwords: 12345.
Of the 78 passwords Anonymous leaked, 31 used 12345. Others used easy to guess passwords like iloveyou, testing, system and 123456. Both iloveyou and 12345 made SplashData's list of the worst passwords of 2011.
Last September Anonymous took over several Syrian government websites and replaced the pages with an interactive map showing the names, ages and dates of people killed in Syria's crackdown on anti-government protests.
Anonymous has been busy lately, releasing an FBI call to Scotland Yard and source code from Symantec.

The following is page two of an illustrated proof for the
sudoku.com.au tough puzzle of 01/30/08.
Page one is richly detailed with specific information
on how I found deductions. This page will continue with similar specific analysis.
Previous blog pages may be helpful. Links to these pages are found to the right,
under Sudoku Techniques. I may later list specific pages.
The illustrations of steps shown on this page will share this key:
Generally, I keep the original puzzle mark-up and update it - at least until I spill coffee on it. Below, the first
mark-up has been updated with the new information. Not much changed. Three candidates have been crossed out, and
(2)g7 has been underlined to reflect: (2)g7=(2)de7.
Below, a short digression in how one can use thinking shortcuts to help analyze any puzzle. The graphic below
is of an actual Almost Locked Set ALS in this puzzle, but the information is not puzzle specific.
To the left, the ALS(1369)f389 is highlit. An ALS is a group of cells within a large container, in this case
a column, such that (n+1)candidates exist in (n)cells. In this case, (4)candidates exist in (3)cells. This situation
always constrains the possible puzzle solutions. Thus, it has some power. The constraint is fairly trivial:
Above, one may wish to note: (6)f9=(Hidden triple568)f156. Thus one has an Almost Hidden Set (AHS).
One could say:
The same conjugacy exists for every derived sis, including those from AAIC. It is less apparent. It must exist. Formally, one could say:
Back to the actual puzzle!
Illustrated below is an elimination that I found to be very appealing. I am not certain about the precise name
that should be ascribed to the emergent sea creature below, but regardless of the species, 'tis profoundly beautiful to me.
Above, a relatively simple relationship is graphed. Consider both:
What I like about the matrix representation is that it dispenses with the illusion that one need
to consider any sis in this deduction more than once. Also, the conclusion of (9)a8=(6)a7 is very clear.
With step 2e, three updates are made.
The following step is an immediate and, for this puzzle, trivial, result of the previous step.
Above, the following chain is graphed, using (6=9)a78:
On the previous page, the AAIC below was partially noted. With the newly stronger candidate 9 in row 7, the
AAIC below becomes an Almost Proving Loop. An almost proving loop merely Almost asserts a singularity, whether it
be grouped or not, within a sis.
Above, given step 2c, it is fairly obvious that (1)f8=(9)h7 using:
Given the ALS: (3)e8=(pair19)af8, and given the fact that (19)f8=(39)f8 is always true when f8 is limited to 139,
the next chain snippet became functionally significant.
Above, find another Almost Proving Loop. This one has the illusion of having an extra degree of freedom, but it does
not. Graphed above, find:
Below, find an attempt to illustrate h7≠5.
One can write the elimination shown above in many ways as AIC. The choice of how to partition the sis is
fairly arbitrary. All will focus upon both the Kraken cell (139)f8 and the Kraken row (9)ade5 to determine the partitions.
In many ways, this step is similar, conceptually, to both steps 2d and 2c which involved some of the same sis.
Often, I forge ahead in a puzzle beating upon the same restrictions multiple times. Below, find the matrix representation
of the elimination proof. In this case, a Triangular Matrix does the job.
Note the conclusion:(9)h7=(5)h4 => h7≠5. The real key to this one, in my opinion, is the recognition of
One can now solve some cells:

Okay, this is the viewers' guide I was born to write. I have probably seen the entire run of the series "As Time Goes By" at least half a dozen times–my local PBS station has been running in nearly continuously for the past twenty years and even though I could watch it that way on any given Saturday night, I've also watched it on YouTube.
Yes, I know, I have a problem.
But really. Have you ever seen this show? It's so, so great. It's deliciously British and wonderfully romantic and it stars Dame Judi Dench. The basic premise is this: Jean Pargetter and Lionel Hardcastle bump into one another in London, many decades after they first met and fell in love during the Korean War. Jean worked as a nurse in England during that conflict, and Lionel was eventually posted to Korea, where they lost touch (with Lionel's first letter to Jean never reaching her, Jean didn't have a return address to reply to him at, and he thought she was not longer interested*). When they meet for this second time, Jean is a widow with an adult daughter, and Lionel is divorced and newly back from Kenya, where he ran a coffee plantation for many years.
Even though they are both, ahem, advanced in years, their second courtship has all the angst and hilarity of a relationship among teenagers–will they or won't they? It takes a surprisingly long (luckily for the viewer) time to find out.
This show also features a very satisfying supporting cast; Lionel's publisher (Lionel has written a memoir, titled, scintillatingly, My Life in Kenya) Alistair, who becomes an eventual love interest for Jean's daughter Judith, is one of my favorite British characters of all time.
Years aired: 1992-2005
Episodes and seasons: 67 episodes over the course of 10 seasons (30-minutes episodes). Season 10 consisted of a two-part "Reunion Special," with each part running for an hour.
Christmas episodes? Actually, no. That's interesting. There's a lot of weddings in this series but no Christmas specials.
Primary Stars: Judi Dench as Jean Pargetter, Geoffrey Palmer as Lionel Hardcastle, Moira Brooker as Judith, Philip Bretherton as Alistair, Jenny Funnell as Sandy
Creator and primary writers: Colin Bostock-Smith (creator), Bob Larbey
Setting: London (urban)
First aired on: BBC One
So, you're out of As Time Goes By? Watch this next, luv:
Last Tango in Halifax. A recent program from Sally Wainwright, the writer and creator of "Happy Valley," except it actually is much happier. Wainwright based this story of young sweethearts who have a misunderstanding, marry others, and eventually rekindle their romance with one another in their "mature" years, after the deaths of their respective spouses. Starring Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid, whose love is all the stronger for all the intervening years of life which they didn't get to share together.
A Fine Romance. Judi Dench was no stranger to playing a wry older woman who's still up for romance when she starred in "As Time Goes By"; in this earlier series, she played a similar role opposite her real-life husband. I never found this one as sweet or funny as "As Time Goes By" (in parts it's mostly just awkward, as both lead characters can't quite seem to decide if they really like each other or not), but let's face it, Dame Judi is compulsively watchable in anything. This series was also written by Bob Larbey, who wrote much of "As Time Goes By"; also of interest might be another series penned by Larbey, "Brush Strokes," featuring a gently Casanova-like house painter named Jacko. "Brush Strokes" is dated but features humor very similar to that found in "As Time Goes By." (It's also a bit harder to find but can be tracked down if you look.)
Coupling: Okay, "Coupling" is not like "As Time Goes By" at all. It features an ensemble cast and modern love; nearly everyone in the group of six friends ends up sleeping with each other. But the writing is so good and so witty and the show actually ends up being quite romantic in its own way. Kudos also to this show for recovering, in its fourth season, from the exit of one of its most enjoyable actors; this is also one of the few shows I've ever seen that deals with pregnancy in the context of a relationship (and is also hilarious).
To the Manor Born. Okay, this one is even more a "classic" than "As Time Goes By" (read: older). In 20 episodes that ran from 1979 to 1981, the two very charismatic leads, Penelope Keith (as the former lady and now widow of the manor house, Audrey fforbes-Hamilton) and Peter Bowles (as the nouveau riche businessman, Richard DeVere, who buys the manor after Audrey has to vacate it) fought and outmaneuvered and smoldered with one another. Totally awesome and easily binge-watchable.
*Many thanks to D. Dillard in the comments for correcting the error in my original post (I thought Jean's letter to Lionel got lost, but it was the other way 'round).

Volume 3 No 1 of 'Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation' is now available and is entitled 'Working at the Interface: call-centre labour in a global economy'
Call centres illustrate the consequences of globalisation for labour perhaps more clearly than any other form of employment. Call-centre workers sit at the interface between the global and the local, having to transcend the limitations of local time zones, cultures and speech patterns. They are also at the interface between companies and their customers, having to absorb the impact of anger, incomprehension, confusion and racist abuse whilst still meeting exacting productivity targets and staying calm and friendly.
Finally, they take the brunt of the conflict at the contested interface between production and consumption, having to deal in their personal lives with the conflicts between the demands of paid and unpaid work. Drawing, amongst others, on organisational theory, sociology, communications studies, industrial relations, economic geography, gender theory and political economy, this important collection brings together survey evidence from around the world with case studies and vivid first-hand accounts of life in call centres from Asia, North and South America, Western and Eastern Europe. In the process it reveals many similarities but also demonstrates that national industrial relations traditions and workers' ability to negotiate can make a significant difference to the quality of working life in call centres.

Two of Colorado's best agricultural areas come together in one jar.
Late summer/early fall days in Colorado are marked by the smells and sounds of crackling fire roasted green chilies from Pueblo Colorado's farmers (& Hatch, New Mexico) rolling about in hot black metal cages on nearly every street corner. We paired this state pride with the other state pride, Paonia peaches, for the perfect spicy sweet finish to summer. Our peaches are from our partners First Fruits and our chilies come from the renowned organic farm, Hobbs Family farm. This newly added seasonal flavor is a result of 2018's Test Kitchen Peach Chile Roast, so if you liked that, you really need to try this. We shaved a little off here and added a little there, and the end result is something we believe is perfection of sweet heat.

Inner Thread.
Intuition: "ability to sense or know immediately without reasoning" (Wikipedia)
Understanding without apparent effort, quick and ready insight seemingly independent of previous experiences or empirical knowledge. (Wikipedia)
We know what intuition is because we experience it often. My intuition has become sharper since I became a mother. I can feel my children's needs deep inside me, it is like an invisible thread that keeps me connected to them.
One day when I was a little girl my Mom woke me up at night screaming, I didn't understand why. She kept saying: let's go upstairs to see your sister, something has happened to her, I just know! I just know!
I ran upstairs with my Mom to the small room where my sister was living at the time. When we opened the door we saw my sister on the floor, unconscious. Once again she had tried to take her life.
Those who deal with a case of Schizophrenia in the family know how devastating something like this is. The fact that my sister needed our protection all the time developed that 6th sense in each member of our family but specially in my Mom. My Mom's connection with my sister has always been extremely strong and her intuition saved my sister's life that night .
The paper piece in the photos was inspired by that magic thread that keeps us connected to the people that we love the most and I want to dedicate it to my sister Ileana who has been fighting a hard battle with Schizophrenia since she was very young. The human mind is a complex, mysterious and intricate place and those of us who don't have to fight a unfair mental illness should never take it from granted. The most precious thing that we have is our mind. Lots of love to you my friend and have a wonderful weekend! Elsita :)
You are now in papercutland, a place entirely dedicated to the world of papercutting, papercuts, Scherenschnitte and everything related to this fascinating craft. Now I invite you to unbuckle your sit belt and feel free to explore my little paper planet where you will see many of my new creations, made with lots of love and lots of #11 X-Acto blades :)
Here I will keep you updated on the new papercut pieces that I am creating, but I also decided to create this blog within my main blog in order to gather as much information as possible about this craft. I would love this space to grow little by little as much as I would love the therapeutic power of papercutting to reach you. I know that if you try this amazing art form you will feel that you have entered a magic world.
Notice how I have listed all kinds of links on the sidebars of this blog for you to get familiar with this wonderful craft. These links include: *A list of papercut artists *Tutorials *Videos *Articles *Supplies *Wikipedia definitions *Organizations *Interesting *Etsy stores *Papercut books If you can hold a pair of scissors or a knife in your hand then you should give papercutting a try. The process of creating a papercut piece is a wonderful way to practice and master the art of patience.
You know how sometimes we just want things to get done immediately, instantly, and we get frustrated with the very idea of having to wait for things to happen but the reality is that in life everything happens gradually. I can tell you that by cutting out the many little pieces of paper in an intricate design I get to challenge myself to be patient and to keep going one cut at a time until the work is finished.
This process is something that I bring to my daily life. With all the demands from my family and work I have learned that I just need to be patient and do one thing at a time. Finishing a new papercut is such a rewarding experience, as rewarding as seeing my children grow and have progress everyday. Papercutting has found a very special corner in my heart and through this blog I am going to share my love for this wonderful and healing art form with you.
I am looking forward to all our paper adventures, I invite you to join me in this journey. Thank you so much for being here right now!
Elsita :)

Apple has finally issued a patch for a critical Java vulnerability in Mac OS X that made headlines last month. The update comes as part of Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4, a 158MB download from both Apple's website and Software Update and requires Mac OS X 10.5.7.
According to Apple, the update "delivers improved reliability, security, and compatibility for Java SE 6, J2SE 5.0 and J2SE 1.4.2." This includes one vulnerability related to de-serializing certain Java objects, which could result in arbitrary code running outside of the JVM's sandbox with the same privileges as the current user. It was reported to Sun in August 2008, and in December 2008 Sun disclosed the vulnerability and issued a patch. Despite recent security updates from Apple, however, researchers blasted Apple for not having patched the vulnerability in Mac OS X yet.
The reason the vulnerability was a threat was because an exploit could be written in pure Java and would work on all platforms and browsers. That means visiting any website with a specially crafted Java applet could easily take down your machine no matter what software you were using. Needless to say, this is bad.
It has taken Apple a month since the bad press spread around, but the company has finally updated Java to help nip this problem in the bud. Since it's so critical, it's probably not worth waiting to update—just quit all browsers before updating and you should be good to go.

Progress Solar Solutions™, LLC to exhibit new solar/wind light tower durable and powerful enough to meet Oil and Gas industry needs and the rental equipment companies that serve them..
The Progress Solar/Wind™ Light Tower (SLTW-1200) will be presented at the 2012 East Texas Oilfield Expo (AR/LA/TX) and is a great fit for this industry's high volume outdoor lighting needs which are dusk-to-dawn, seven days per week, year round. This model resembles a traditional portable diesel light tower but is powered by free, renewable energy instead of diesel fuel and can meet those challenging needs. The 2012 East Texas Oilfield Expo is the largest oil and gas trade show in the AR, LA, TX region and is being held on Wednesday, March 7th and Thursday, March 8th, 2012 at the Maude Cobb Convention Center in Longview, Texas.
The Progress SolarTM SLT-1200 series of portable light towers is the most powerful available today, especially when combined with the New Wind Generator positioned on a telescoping mast above the flood lights. They are made in the U.S. (patent pending) and routinely operate independent of diesel, gas or the electric grid eliminating the use of fossil fuels or generation of carbon emissions. The solar light towers are powered by two on-board, high capacity solar generators and a wind generator, backed up by a dual bank rapid AC charger, if ever needed. These units are specifically designed for extremely demanding applications that need to be operational for lighting-on-demand year round. The large battery banks store power for several nights of lighting to allow use during cloudy days or inclement weather.
The Progress Solar SLT1200-HVR-N is a rugged, mobile light system that provides high-intensity, bright white lighting on-demand, where and when you need it. It is equipped with high power generating solar modules housed on automated solar wings that can be optimally positioned toward the sun to maximize solar energy gain combined with a wind generator to add additional wind power at night and during inclement weather for areas with an average wind speed of >/=7MPH; a telescoping mast equipped with 4 solid-state LED flood lights with high lumen output; and a long-life Power Module with sealed, AGM, no maintenance, deep-cycle batteries to store energy for use when needed. The light tower is fully adjustable from 12-30ft in height, able to tilt up/down and can rotate ~358 degrees. The solid-state LED flood lights provide a tremendous amount of bright white light, minimize power requirements, provide instant-on/off without flickering, are extremely reliable, vibration and shatter resistant, and designed to provide up to 5x longer run time between bulb changes than metal halide lights. The maximum power point tracking solar/light control module optimizes solar gain and protects the system. The lights can be turned on/off automatically from a timer, at user-programmable time intervals or manually on-demand. The system is on a portable trailer customized for maximum functionality and convenience and can be easily towed to its destination.
Dan Robertson, a partner for Progress Solar Solutions, commented, "The SLTW-1200 series is a direct result of listening to some of the largest and most demanding outdoor lighting clients with challenging and extensive lighting applications like Oil & Gas, Mining, Military, Public Utilities and Disaster Recovery. It also helps address the needs of clients in more solar challenged geographic areas. "
