Last year, I did an epic sponsored swim but it was all over in March and then I lost a bit of exercise motivation.
On Christmas Day, I gave my mum the pedometer she asked for and said that she fancied doing a challenge to walk 1,000 miles in 2017. She showed me a magazine advert and I've decided to sign up to it and give it a go! http://www.livefortheoutdoors.com/walk1000miles .
I had an unusual but very pleasant New Year's Eve this year, on a friend's new canal boat on the River Lea in North London. We could see the fireworks on the Thames from afar and it was a magical evening. We needed to walk another guest back to the tube station after midnight, so some of my miles were done on the towpath (slightly wobbly from Prosecco) but it all counts. Even though it started chucking it down with rain on our towpath walk later in the afternoon, the canal towpath is a magical world. I saw coots diving close up from the window of the boat, Canada geese, swans, gulls, mallards and even cormorants – click on the article as it seems they are moving inland due to over fishing at sea. I'd never seen them so far inland before.
Messing around on the river was a great way to start the year, and I clocked up 4.46 miles.

I am excited to share that My Style Daily was voted one of the Carolina's Best Style Blogs of 2013! In addition to the honor, I wanted to share with you some of the answers to my interview questions. You can read the full Interview on Carolina Style Magazine's Website.
Describe your personal style.
My personal style is to mix vintage pieces with current trends and contemporary designs. I love going vintage shopping! It takes time, but there is nothing like finding the perfect piece!
What is the most rewarding and most challenging part of being a blogger?
The most rewarding part is connecting with people. I love inspiring someone's style or helping them find solutions to their fashion and beauty needs. The most challenging part is finding the time to do it all! There is so much information I want to share with my readers! But, I take things one day at a time and always remember to have fun when I am blogging!
What does style mean to you?
Style is about wearing what looks great on you and wearing what makes you happy. I think the definition of style has evolved so much in the last few years. There was a time when style meant wearing what a magazine or runway show told you was in style and now I think more designers are brands are taking note that style has become much more broad. It's a good thing!

One of the places at the top of my list to visit while living in Madrid this year was Prague. So when my family and Dan's parents began to entertain the idea of travelling a bit while they were in Europe visiting us for Christmas, I automatically jumped at the chance to persuade everyone that Prague was the best place to go for Christmas. The good news is that I was right!
I started planning our trip to Prague over Christmas weekend back in November and was just about finished just before el Puente de Navidad when I posted about the itinerary I was working on. We got to see nearly all of the greatest sites in the city in the three short days that we were there.
Friday night (December 23) we arrived around dinner time to a concert in the square outside of the apartment we were renting. While everyone else changed and settled in, Dad, Dan, and I went to the grocery store with the hopes of buying all sorts of ingredients for Christmas Eve hors d'oeuvres and Christmas morning breakfast. However, we realized very quickly that not knowing a word of Czech made it a little difficult to know what exactly we were buying. Instead of our original plan, we opted for things we could actually tell what they were by looking at them: oranges, eggs, milk, cereal, tea, coffee, etc. and of course the ingredients for Mom's legendary Christmas breakfast, Pear, Raspberry & Mascarpone Bruschetta (click for recipe… you MUST try it).
Sorry for the digression, but if you try that recipe you will understand that it was completely worth it!! Dad had found a restaurant that looked good, was open later than most other restaurants in the city, and appeared to be right by where we were staying. After wandering around the New Town for about 30 minutes with Czechs giving us directions like 50 meters that way, 100 meters that way, etc. we realized it was literally directly behind the apartment. We toasted to Dan's birthday, a wonderful Christmas, and that we were all celebrating together, but retired early since I had a long day planned for us.
Saturday morning, Christmas Eve, we woke up a little later than expected, but weren't bothered since we were all on vacation and were really there to be relaxing after all! There was a little upset over Dan realizing he had lost his coat between the airport and that moment and his watch also breaking, but we put it behind us and had a really fun-filled day. (If you've been following my Twitter feed, you saw that it actually miraculously appeared in our apartment when we got back from being out all day!)
We headed into the Old Town Square where the largest and greatest Christmas markets are in the city. There we bought gifts for the yankee swap we had planned for Christmas morning and tried all sorts of sausages, cheeses & hot wines. When it began to rain we headed into a café for tea and cookies to warm ourselves up. Afterwards we explored the Jewish quarter and caught a glimpse of the Charles Bridge on our way home. We had dinner at a great old beer brewery which served 1 liter beers (Oktoberfest status) for the equivalent of 4 EURO!
Sunday, we enjoyed a relaxing morning of the already mentioned amazing breakfast along with pastries Dad bought at the only open bakery (Starbucks, haha!). We also had a great time of doing the yankee swap, with gifts including marionettes, beer steins and giant Christmas ornaments. Despite the rain, we decided to walk to the Prague Castle (not my idea). It was about 30 minutes of uphill in the rain (read: miserable), but it was really cool to see the other area of the city and the entire fortress where the royals used to live. We stopped to have some soup, beers and pretzels afterwards, which made Rina very happy since she had been dying to try these pretzels since we had seen them. On the way back to the apartment we took a detour to the John Lennon Wall, which may be my favorite part of the entire city. It's just covered in beautiful Beatles and John Lennon quotes about peace and love. It was a great way to end our touring for the day.
Rina and I had made a reservation for Christmas dinner at COMO Restaurant about a month ago before even realizing that it was directly across the square from where we were staying! We had a leisurely, delicious meal; the perfect way to end our short but sweet holidays together. I even got a pink martini (nom) and tiramisu, my absolute favorite!
All in all, the weekend was jam-packed with site-seeing, but we still managed to fit in some quality relaxation time of Christmas movies, cheese and crackers and afternoon naps whenever possible. It always makes me a little sad to be visiting such amazing cities that I know our families would love, so it was amazing to be exploring a new city with them, especially during Christmas time. Thank you guys so much for everything, and I hope you had just as much fun as I did!
Feliz navidad (de nuevo y un pocito tarde!), amores:)

Neo4j is an open–source, enterprise–class database with a conventional feature set and a very unconventional data model. Like the databases we're already used to, it offers support for Java, ACID transactions, and a feature–rich query language. But before you get too comfortable, you have to wrap your mind around its most important feature: Neo4j is a graph database, built precisely to store graphs efficiently and traverse them more performantly than relational, document, or key/value databases ever could.
Neo4j is an obvious fit to anyone who thinks they have a graph problem to solve, but this is not many people. It turns out that the most interesting property of Neo4j is its architectural agenda. It wants you to think of the entire world as a graph — as a set of connected information resources. Steeped in the thinking of resource oriented architecture, this NoSQL database wants to change the way you look at your world, and unlock new value in your data as a result.

my fiction project
You may remember I previously took part in the Sketchbook Project and the Memoir Project. My next undertaking was the Fiction Project, with an almost all-encompassing theme of 'tell the world a story'.
Inspired by some old photographs of unnamed people I came across among my grandmother's things, I decided to gather photographs from old newspapers and magazines, plus a few from my collection and imagine a story for each one.
I ended up writing quite close to the deadline and things progressed quickly because they had to. It was exciting to feel the stories pouring out, and to inhabit all these different worlds.
I imagined myself into the skin of someone looking at the photograph who was either pictured or close to someone pictured. Gazing at the image I found myself becoming that person. Sometimes I drew on information in the newspaper article or on the back of the photo. One image of a little girl had '19 months' written on the reverse, for example. The old magazines had dates and captions to incorporate into the stories.
It was a stimulating writing exercise and I was surprised sometimes by what unfolded. I called it 'All the Lonely People' after the refrain from the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby. It will be digitised once it arrives in the Brooklyn Art Library, where the original will be kept. I hope you'll consider having a browse and let me know what you think.

This genius bread pudding is made with melted vanilla ice cream, eliminating the need to make a custard. Slideshow: Bread Pudding Desserts
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a shallow, 2-quart baking dish and spread the torn brioche in it. Scoop the ice cream into a glass bowl and warm in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring, just until melted. Whisk in the eggs, sugar and 3/4 cup of water. Pour the custard over the brioche and let stand for 15 minutes, pressing to submerge the bread in the custard.
Bake the bread pudding for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is browned. Let cool slightly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over moderate heat, swirling the pan and brushing down the side with a wet pastry brush, until the sugar dissolves. Cook undisturbed until a medium-amber caramel forms, about 5 minutes. Add the cream (be careful, it may boil vigorously) and simmer, whisking, until the caramel is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in the whiskey and salt.
Serve the warm bread pudding with the caramel sauce.

North Carolina has laws in place designed to provide help to victims of domestic violence. The law provides a framework for District Courts in the state to address issues of domestic violence and to provide protection to victims. Abused persons have ability to obtain an order of protection from a court that requires an abuser to keep one's distance from a victim. In general, if an order of protection is granted and the abuser violates the order, the abuser may be held in contempt of court and imprisoned, among other potential penalties.
If you need to obtain an order of protection from an abuser, you must travel to the courthouse in the county in which the individual lives. At the courthouse, the you will complete a form called a Complaint and Motion for Domestic Violence Protective Order.
Once the Complaint form is filed, the individual filing the form can request a temporary "ex parte" restraining order. Individuals who claim that they, their children or immediate family members are in immediate danger can ask a judge to enter a temporary restraining order without hearing from the other party. The order shows, in general terms, the findings that a judge must make in order to enter a temporary restraining order as well as the kinds of restrictions that can be placed on a person who has been found to have committed acts of domestic violence.
Whether or not a temporary restraining order is sought or granted, after the Complaint and Motion for Protective Order is filed, it must be served upon the person from whom protection is sought. In order to serve the Complaint, the individual seeking the order of protection must complete a Summons, which can be found at the local courthouse or online.
In most cases, the Summons and Complaint can be given to the sheriff, who will then serve the papers on the Defendant, and return the Summons form to the clerk showing that the Defendant was provided copies of the Summons and Complaint.
The family law attorneys at Griffiths Family Law are experienced at handling restraining order actions. We can assist those seeking orders of protection as well as those who feel they may have been wrongly accused of domestic violence. Please contact one of our experienced family law attorneys today at 919-573-4855 or contact us online to schedule a consultation.

SERENYA'S SONG may be purchased here.
Mysti Parker
Serenya Crowe is half elf and doesn't know, who her father is. After her mother died giving birth to her, Serenya's stepfather takes Serenya and runs. Serenya and her stepfather settle in Summerwind, where her stepfather owns a tavern. Serenya has claw-like hands, that she keeps covered and can interpret dreams. When her stepfather falls on hard times, Serenya marries Sebastian, the Earl of Summerwind, but after five years of marriage with no children, he proves to be abusive. Then, Jaden Ravenwing enters the picture. Jaden is a secret agent who decides to settle in Summerwind, while he recovers from a broken marriage and a broken heart. When Serenya and Jaden meet, it is instant attraction, but the forces of evil have plans for Serenya.
SERENYA'S SONG is an enjoyable fantasy romance with complex world-building and intriguing characters. While it took me a little while to get into the story, once I did, I was hooked. Serenya isn't the kick-butt heroine, that I expected, but by the end, she shows great strength. Ms. Parker does a great job of showing the psyche of an abused woman. This part of the story felt really realistic and believable, even though, I wished Serenya would stand up for herself and leave her husband. Jayden is Serenya's perfect match, and he is determined to save her. Ms. Parker creates a picturesque world, that can be beautiful but, also, terrifying. I became involved with all the characters and the action and adventure kept me on the edge of my seat. Sebastian, whom I thought I would hate, left me a little conflicted. While his actions were reprehensible, they could be explained by some outside influences, and by the end, he did something that almost redeemed him in my eyes.
All in all, SERENYA'S SONG is a very entertaining fantasy romance, which I highly recommend.
NOTE: I received this book in return for an unbiased review.

" My first visit to this Toyota dealer was to see what my trade in value on my Subaru would be and what I needed to do to order a Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. I asked if and old friends was working but he had the day off. Unfortunately I got passed around to 3 or 4 people and in the end no one seemed to want to help me with either of these things. I left frustrated and annoyed. Skip forward a week and I decided to drive through the lot to see what they had and there was the exact truck I was wanting. My buddy Mason came up on his day off to get the deal done for me and it was a fairly easy process. I love my new truck and couldn't have asked for a better sales person! Thanks Mason! "

" I initially became aware of Olathe Toyota due to excellent on-line parts ordering system. As a result they were on my short list for purchase of a new Rav4. I selected sales person Hieu Tran from their web site and called their expediters to schedule a test drive. Everyone I dealt with was very helpful and forthright in how information was presented. I was pleasantly surprised that I never felt pressured to purchase anything other than what I had in mind starting with Hieu to everyone else involved. There are a couple of other personnel that present other options with the vehicle but here again, no pressure. Overall a good experience that I would recommend to anyone. Hieu did a great job for me!

We had visited some of the competitors, but found Brice to be much more knowledgeable and courteous than any we had met with. He is a very straight forward person, and I highly respect that.

" I had my 120K maintenance check done by Olathe Toyota and was very pleased with the service provided. They did a thorough inspection of the car and performed everything in the estimated time given. Since I was eligible for the "tires for life" program, the shop replaced my tires as they had reached the prescribed tire depth, and it was done without me asking about it. Advisor was very courteous and informative. "
" What an amazing experience from first communication through leaving the dealership. My wife, six-year-old son and I were traveling across Colorado to go see our family in Kansas City pulling a trailer. My 2020 Highlander started giving us secondary brake malfunction signals and indicating to call the dealership immediately. We have tried three dealerships in KC the first was rude the second two were slammed because it's the busiest Friday of the year. The secondary failure light persisted to blink every two seconds telling us to see a dealer. Adding to the stress. When we spoke to Olathe Toyota we spoke to a lovely young lady Andrea who is compassionate and caring about our problem and set us up for an appointment the next morning squeezing us in. Upon arrival I met Matt the service technician who was absolutely wonderful and even though my car had now reset itself just to be safe let's do a diagnostic. The staff and people especially Andrea are wonderful at Olathe Toyota. Thank you for putting my family back on the road safely and with confidence. "
" Brian Eger was amazing!!! Very patient with us. "
" Hieu Tran was professional, courteous and unobtrusive - exactly what you'd hope to encounter for sales information. Thanks for the excellent service. "
" Brice is the best car dealer I've ever met! He had helped me lease a car and buy 2. I have always had a very pleasant experience and he has always been there to help me with ANYTHING I have needed. Contact and buy with him!!! Brice is truly amazing. -Savana Horton "
" Adam White is awesome. He knows what customer wants and take a good care of customer. I took my Sienna in for repair which involved insurance. Insurance wanted to save money and bought cheap stuffs to replace in my car. Adam took a look at those stuffs and denied to install them in my van. He called to explain the situation to me and I agreed with him. Insurance finally agreed with Adam and purchased better parts to install in my van. After every conversation with insurance he called to keep me in the loop. I appreciate very much for his effort of doing that since I would not know what going on between him and insurance adjuster. I would recommend him for Employee of the Month at Olathe Toyota. Because of employee like Adam White, I always bring my Highlander and Sienna to Olathe Toyata for services. Adam and others are very friendly, professional and more importantly know how to take care the customers. Thank you Adam. Five big stars for you. "

Tonight in our Bible study/prayer group, as part of a series on prayer, we discussed Christ's Parable of the Persistent Widow, also known as the Parable of the Unjust Judge. I was eager when I got home to read the comments of John Calvin (1509-1564) on this passage, and found them very edifying. Below is the biblical text (taken from the KJV), followed by Calvin's comments:
Luke 18:1-8
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Calvin comments:
"We know that perseverance in prayer is a rare and difficult attainment; and it is a manifestation of our unbelief that, when our first prayers are not successful, we immediately throw away not only hope, but all the ardor of prayer. But it is an undoubted evidence of our Faith, if we are disappointed of our wish, and yet do not lose courage. Most properly, therefore, does Christ recommend to his disciples to persevere in praying.
The parable which he employs, though apparently harsh, was admirably fitted to instruct his disciples, that they ought to be importunate in their prayers to God the Father, till they at length draw from him what He would otherwise appear to be unwilling to give. Not that by our prayers we gain a victory over God, and bend him slowly and reluctantly to compassion, but because the actual facts do not all at once make it evident that he graciously listens to our prayers. In the parable Christ describes to us a widow, who obtained what she wanted from an unjust and cruel judge, because she did not cease to make earnest demands. The leading truth conveyed is, that God does not all at once grant assistance to his people, because he chooses to be, as it were, wearied out by prayers; and that, however wretched and despicable may be the condition of those who pray to him, yet if they do not desist from the uninterrupted exercise of prayer, he will at length regard them and relieve their necessities.
The parties between whom the comparison is drawn are, indeed, by no means equal; for there is a wide difference between a wicked and cruel man and God, who is naturally inclined to mercy. But Christ intended to assure believers that they have no reason to fear lest their persevering entreaties to the Father of mercy should be refused, since by importunate supplication they prevail on men who are given to cruelty. The wicked and iron-hearted judge could not avoid yielding at length, though reluctantly, to the earnest solicitations of the widow: how then shall the prayers of believers, when perseveringly maintained, be without effect? If exhaustion and weakness are felt by us when we give way after a slight exertion, or if the ardor of prayer languishes because God appears to lend a deaf ear, let us rest assured of our ultimate success, though it may not be immediately apparent. Entertaining this conviction, let us contend against our impatience, so that the long delay may not induce us to discontinue our prayers.
7. And shall not God avenge his elect?That judge, whom Christ has described to us as altogether desperate, as not only hardened against the contemplation of God, but so entirely devoid of shame, that he had no anxiety about his reputation, at length opened his eyes to the distresses of the widow. We have no reason to doubt that believers will derive, at least, equal advantage from their prayers, provided they do not cease to plead earnestly with God. Yet it must be observed that, while Christ applies the parable to his subject, he does not make God to resemble a wicked and cruel judge, but points out a very different reason why those who believe in him are kept long in suspense, and why he does not actually and at once stretch out his hand to them: it is because he forbears. If at any time God winks at the injuries done to us longer than we would wish, let us know that this is done with a fatherly intention—to train us to patience. A temporary overlooking of crimes is very different from allowing them to remain for ever unpunished. The promise which he makes, that God will speedily avenge them, must be referred to his providence; for our hasty tempers and carnal apprehension lead us to conclude that he does not come quickly enough to grant relief. But if we could penetrate into his design, we would learn that his assistance is always ready and seasonable, as the case demands, and is not delayed for a single moment, but comes at the exact time.
But it is asked, How does Christ instruct his disciples to seek vengeance, while he exhorts them on another occasion, pray for those who injure and persecute you, (Matthew 5:44). I reply: what Christ says here about vengeance does not at all interfere with his former doctrine. God declares that he will avenge believers, not for the purpose of giving a loose rein to their carnal affections, but in order to convince them that their salvation is dear and precious in his sight, and in this manner to induce them to rely on his protection. If, laying aside hatred, pure and free from every wicked desire of revenge, and influenced by proper and well-regulated dispositions, they implore divine assistance, it will be a lawful and holy wish, and God himself will listen to it. But as nothing is more difficult than to divest ourselves of sinful affections, if we would offer pure and sincere prayers, we must ask the Lord to guide and direct our hearts by his Spirit. Then shall we lawfully call on God to be our avenger, and he will answer our prayers.
8. When the Son of man shall come.By these words Christ informs us that there will be no reason to wonder if men shall afterwards sink under their calamities: it will be because they neglect the true remedy. He intended to obviate an offense which we are daily apt to take, when we see all things in shameful confusion. Treachery, cruelty, imposture, deceit, and violence, abound on every hand; there is no regard to justice, and no shame; the poor groan under their oppressors; the innocent are abused or insulted; while God appears to be asleep in heaven. This is the reason why the flesh imagines that the government of fortune is blind. But Christ here reminds us that men are justly deprived of heavenly aid, on which they have neither knowledge nor inclination to place reliance. They who do nothing but murmur against the Lord in their hearts, and who allow no place for his providence, cannot reasonably expect that the Lord will assist them.
Shall he find faith on the earth? Christ expressly foretells that, from his ascension to heaven till his return, unbelievers will abound; meaning by these words that, if the Redeemer does not so speedily appear, the blame of the delay will attach to men, because there will be almost none to look for him. Would that we did not behold so manifest a fulfilment of this prediction! But experience proves that though the world is oppressed and overwhelmed by a huge mass of calamities, there are few indeed in whom the least spark of faith can be discerned. Others understand the word faith to denote uprightness, but the former meaning is more agreeable to the context."

The first batch of tech startups to graduate from the Turn 8 accelerator scheme in Dubai pitched to investors on Saturday evening looking for up to almost a $1 million in funding for their nascent businesses.
An eclectic mix of tech ideas, from nine entrepreneurs across a range of nationalities and backgrounds, were sold to a room of 37 angel investors and venture capitalists, as Dubai's startup scene slowly attracts both talent and money.
The event was full of pomp and ceremony, and the pitching entrepreneurs really got into the mood, posing dramatic rhetorical questions to the audience, flashing up giant market-size figures and pausing for eons between sentences in order for reflection. It was as much a show as a bunch of investor pitches.
Investors included Dubai-based Tecom Investments and STC Ventures, and U.S.-based Fenox Venture Capital.
Ideas included a social media application for dreams; a tool to analyse the words and mood of Arabic-language social media; and a text-based solution to fight against widespread counterfeiting of auto parts, pharmaceuticals and luxury goods in the Middle East.
In general, the investors were impressed with Turn 8's first batch. Most of the presentations were slick, the ideas polished and some were trying to solve problems unique or widespread in the region, investors said. KinTrans, a technology to instantly convert sign language into voice and text sentences, received a notable amount of attention from investors.
"Having seen startups in the U.S., the Bay Area and London, some of the quality of ideas here were spot on trend," said Cristina Warren, a partner at VentureBright, a U.K. company that links startups with corporations and their cash.
The startups were asking for between $350,000 and $950,000 to develop their businesses further, with the majority looking for about $500,000 in cash – a level investors thought was quite high for a first round.
"Investors are really interested," Bahaa Galal, the chief technology officer at Crowd Analyzer, said after he and chief executive Ahmed Saad had pitched for $400,000. "And without Turn 8, we wouldn't exist," he added.
The Turn 8 programme is funded by ports operator DP World, and managed by i360 accelerator programme. There will be two more classes in 2014.
"We had been thinking about this for some time," said Yousif Almutawa, the chief information officer at DP World, which is one of the biggest ports operators globally. "We need to find ideas out of the box, out of our core business that will lead us into our core business of the future," he added.

The Snakeoil OS Web App is designed to allow you to focus solely on music playback. This naturally means we need to minimise your direct interaction with the Linux OS. Here we have consolidated the most common Linux commands in a single page. This page allows you to execute simple Linux commands without directly accessing the computer. For more complicated operations you can still utilise SSH or the local console.
You can update your Snakeoil OS by installing a new firmware. It's always a good idea to install the latest firmware because:
- Includes bug fixes
- Contains additional features and functions not available in your older edition
- Better stability improved user experience.
Simply drag the file and drop it in the marked rectangle to begin installation. You can watch how it works by watching this video.
Linux Kernel
The Linux kernel can be interpreted as the heart (or brains) of the computer. The kernel controls everything. It is the bit of code that bridges the hardware and other software, balancing the needs of computer processing, hardware access, user responsiveness and more. You can replace the kernel of your Snakeoil OS by dropping a new kernel file into the marked rectangle. Some common examples of why you need to use a different kernel are:
- The stock kernel that comes with the LiveCD includes features that are no longer necessary after you have installed Snakeoil OS. A kernel without these additional features are smaller in size, meaning you will experience a slightly faster boot up time, and perhaps even a small sonic improvement.
- Support new features (e.g. native DSD) or DACs (e.g. MyTek)
- Different settings in the kernel configuration may influence the sound signature. e.g. use of a real time scheduler will change how applications behave, and that may be a positive (or negative) in terms of sonic quality. Refer to the custom kernel section on how to create your own kernel and package your built files into a format Snakeoil understands. This usually requires another Linux machine, or you can built it directly on your Snakeoil computer (bypassing the web interface completely).
You can check the kernel you are using from the Snakeoil OS Web App Dashboard. One of the first tweaks you can do to your Snakeoil OS is to use a more streamlined kernel. Download pre-built kernel files from the Snakeoil Resource, or compile your own. Updating the kernel is the same as upgrading firmware. Simply drag the downloaded file and drop it into the marked box as above.
Once the kernel is uploaded, you need to reboot the machine for the new kernel to take effect.
WARNING: Using a different kernel can be risky - it is the heart and soul of a computer after all and you can never truely know if the new kernel you uploaded will boot the computer up, or not. If things go wrong, refer to the Failed Kernel section to how to recover your computer back to a usable state.
Refer to the custom kernel article for details.
Install Software (deb)
Ubuntu software is installed via a mechanism called a deb package file. Activated Snakeoil OS machines can also use this upload box to install deb files easily (no more messy Linux commands!)
Here are some examples of what you can do with debs:
- Update your Logitech Media Server on your Snakeoil OS machine to a different version
- Install additional software (e.g. Plex, HQPlayer NAA, etc)
This is a list of common Linux commands you can run:
- Shutdown: Click this to power off your computer. You'd be re-directed to the Snakeoil OS website after a few seconds, where you can check out the latest happenings of the Snakeoil OS project.
- Reboot: Click this to reboot your computer. The web-app will reload after a few seconds.
- Clear Cache: Click this to clear the system cache. Useful feature if you want to evaluate different software players, and want to make sure you're on equal terms.
- Diagnostics: Click this to generate a Diagnostics file, send this to the Snakeoil Squad for troubleshooting.
- CyclicTest: Cyclictest is a benchmarking tool often used in RT evaluation. Refer to articles like this if you're interested to learn more.
- Top: Top is a Linux program showing how much CPU and RAM your processes are using. The most demanding processes is at the top (hence the name). Use this tool to help you optimise your Snakeoil OS machine.
- Netstat: This shows all the current network connections in your Snakeoil PC. Useful for troubleshooting networking issues.
- Reset REST: Restart the backend RESTful server.
- Restart USB: This resets all the USB ports in your PC.
- Run Wizard: Re-run the first time introduction wizard again.
Snakeoil User Account
When you install Snakeoil the installation process will prompt you to create a system user account. Who remembers that?! This panel will remind you what your system system user account is, as well as allowing you to change your password in case you cannot remember that too.
Here you can cutomised the look and feel of your Snakeoil Web App.
- Language: Change the language by clicking the selected language drop down box. Currently only 3 languages are supported - English, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional. Select a language from a drop down and it will be updated automatically. Please help expand the reach of Snakeoil OS by creating a language file for your country. For more instructions on how to create your country's customised language file, please refer to the article: Language Translation.
- Theme: This changes the skin of the Snakeoil OS Web App, allowing you to find a colour scheme that may well be easier on the eye, or preference. Here are two theme examples, Light and Dark:

Bizarre footage has emerged, of a possible reptilian female, filmed on a popular American TV show.
Can these be just contacts/eye lenses?
Video on the right is case from France (Beautiful French Girl has Reptilian Eyes )
These are no contacts. She was teased as a child for looking different.
For the people who don't understand, she was explaining how she was born with her eyes, and had to deal with people's shit a lot when she was younger. When she was in middle school, boys used to compete with who was going to date "the cat" and "throw her away afterwards". The worst was when a boy gave her a box of cat food. Nobody wanted to sit next to her or talk to her. Now she tries to be proud of it and wears make up that brings out her eyes, but still has to deal with people staring.

Khloe Kardashian Dumped Her Latest Basketball Boyfriend
And I bet that's how it happens, too. Some random guy approaches you outside of a club, grabs your arm and whispers: "Sir, I regret to inform you that E! has decided to terminate your relationship. Please take this waist trainer and set of gently-used butt pads as our way of saying thanks. Now shoo."
I guess Khloe Kardashian got tired of that polygamist life, because UsWeekly is saying she went ahead and kalled it kwits with her sort-of side piece of seven months, Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden. And of course I say sort-of, because as we all know, KoKo is technically still married to Lamar Odom (but more on that later). According to a source, Khloe gave James his walking papers "weeks ago", which means this marks the first time in history that a Kardashian waited longer than 0.3 seconds before mining their personal life for attention.
But don't worry – Khloe isn't wasting any Botoxed tears on James. According to a post written by some poor intern for Khloe's pay-per-view website (via the Daily Mail), Khloe is looking for love on OkCupid. If you're single and ready to sell your soul to Kris Jenner, Khloe goes by "khloewithak". Khloe likes long walks from her car in front of the paps, cuddling up by the fires of Hell while renegotiating her contract with Satan, and jet-setting off to countries with lax butt injection laws. Khloe says she made an OkCupid profile for fun (and probably a check) and adds that she's never done online dating before.
One thing she forgot to mention is that any potential suitors should probably be cool with Khloe ditching them to hang out with her husband. Like she did on Super Bowl Sunday. TMZ says Lamar has made a ton of progress since he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel back in October. Lamar reportedly went hiking on Sunday with Khloe and Kim Kardashian, and his goal is to run again. His improvement also includes processing thoughts and carrying on a conversation. So basically, his brain function has surpassed that of Khloe and Kim's.
Here's an on-the-prowl Khloe looking like a suburban cougar hairstylist named Barb (that's a compliment) at the club with French Montana last night. Shit, Khloe's really recycling all her past dicks this week.

Puerto Galera's main claim to fame is as a world class scuba diving destination and can boast over 30 dive sites within a 10 minute boat ride of busy Sabang Beach. There are a dozen or so dive schools based here offering basic PADI learn to dive courses but it is best suited to intermediate and experienced divers, especially with often strong and unpredictable currents. In fact it is one of the premier technical diving destinations in Asia and several places offer TDI courses including Nitrox and advanced Trimex.
Times are staggered through the day so that reefs rarely get overwhelmed with divers. Basic PADI open water courses for beginners are around US$400-$500 and single dives start at US$30.
Prices for diving courses and single dives for the qualified are generally similar whichever dive operator you choose. Many are accredited five star PADI IDC development resorts offering decent value dive and stay packages and most operators tend to visit the same dive sites each day.
Safety records and quality of equipment is very high for Asian standards and all dive operators provide training in at least English and Spanish.

Project "Copper" aims to help ensure that virtualized infrastructure deployments comply with goals of the VNF designer/user, e.g. re affinity and partitioning (e.g. per regulation, control/user plane separation, cost…). This is a "requirements" project with initial goal to assess an "off the shelf" basic OPNFV platform support for policy management, using existing open source projects such as OpenStack Congress and OpenDaylight Group-Based Policy (GBP). The project will assess what policy-related features are currently supported through research into the related projects in OpenStack and ODL, and testing of integrated vanilla distributions of those and other dependent open source projects in the OPNFV's NFVI platform scope. The OPNFV Release 1 goal for Copper is that based upon the analysis and testing, prioritized gaps are identified and upstream open source projects are initiated to address those gaps.

I'm trying to make the PST mod on my C14 with an off-axis 160 ERF-D filter and a BF1800 Lunt. I have already made this modification on a tecnosky telescope of 152.
During my first attempt I did not succes to do the focus. I did several tests with long rings.
Valery in this old post :
You wrote :
Do you think this setup can work ?Large ERF (say, for a C14) has another option. If the seeing does not cooperate, one can just stop the aperture with 6" off axis mask.
The initial F/D goes from 3910/355 = 11 to about 3910/140 = 27.9.The diameter is reduced with the ERF filter. I take as 140 diameter because the erf 160 is a little eclipsed by the support of the secondary mirror.
PST Fabry-Perrot is optimal at F/D = 10. Maybe it's the problem if my F/D is at about 28 in this configuration ?
Thank you.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL Base, Japan -- USS Ronald Reagan pilots are resuming field carrier-landing practice on the remote island of Iwo Jima, the Navy said Friday.
An announcement, which said the training was to start back up on Saturday, came a day after the service said it had paused Carrier Air Wing 5's practice for "operational reasons."
The day-and-night operations -- which kicked off May 3 and were slated to run through May 13 before the delay -- prepare and qualify pilots to land aboard aircraft carriers ahead of their upcoming deployment aboard the carrier.
After the land-based training, the pilots were to practice landing day and night aboard the Ronald Reagan, Lt. Cmdr. Matt Knight, a Task Force 70 spokesman, told Stars and Stripes last month.
The delay was attributed in part to allowing time for the Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier to repair a "material issue" that came up during "successful" weeklong sea trials, Knight said Thursday.
"The repair will result in a delay to the scheduled departure date for USS Ronald Reagan and Carrier Strike Group 5," he added.
Knight did not provide further details about the issue or say when the carrier and its strike group would head out on patrol.
Most of the field carrier-landing practice is still planned to happen on Iwo Jima -- known in Japan as Iwo To -- though inclement weather could move it to Misawa Air Base in northern Japan; Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo; Naval Air Facility Atsugi in Kanagawa prefecture; or Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni near Hiroshima, the Navy said.
Aircraft involved with the training include F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet strike jets, EA-18G Growler electronic warfare planes, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye early warning aircraft and C-2A Greyhound transports.

Connie Evingson: Sweet Happy Life
With Sweet Happy Life Evingson and her mates superbly cover some of the most well-known selections in popular music. The fascinating thing is that Gimbel, while not as immediately recognizable as the Johnny Mercers of the music world, has written the verbiage to all of these and other songssome of the most famous, chart-topping standards in the book. So, the spotlight shines here on phrases, verbal nuances and surprises within such selections as "The Girl from Ipanema," "Canadian Sunset," "Bluesette," "Killing Me Softly with His Song," and many easily recognized others. The list startles.
Evingson is supremely up to the task of framing and saluting Gimbel's work with her delightful voice, superb diction, timing and phrasing. A fine jazz interpreter as well, Evingson swings and, when she chooses to stretch out scatting in unison with her associates, she indeed cooks. Gimbel's lines in the hands of a lesser vocal talent would still shine, but, certainly not as brightly.
There are a dozen-and-a-quarter Gimbel-scripted tunes performed in a straightforward style where word rules in supreme complement to gorgeous melody. The accompanying musicians all buy into Evingson's effort, perfectly showcasingbut never overshadowingher elegant stylings. Saxophonist Dave Karr has the unique challenge of playing against the iconic solos of bossa nova master Stan Getz. He shrewdly evokes and salutes the master's methods without sacrificing his own integrity. The multiple pianists, guitarists and rhythm- makers on the session perform seamlessly.
Sweet Happy Life showcases Gimbel's work most appropriately; it's what happens when marvelous lyrics encounter their melodic match by way of a superb vocal artist.
Track Listing
Agua de Beber; Meditation; Slow Hot Wind; Sweet Happy Life; Killing Me Softly With His Song; Canadian Sunset; Watch What Happens; The Girl From Ipanema; Sway; Bluesette; How Insensitive; Take Me To Aruanda; So Nice; Adventure; I Will Wait For You; Tristeza.

More than 15 U-M instructors will pilot a new learning management system (LMS) in their courses this fall. Access to Canvas by Instructure became available when U-M co-founded Unizin in June 2014.
The Unizin consortium aims to develop a digital education platform that is flexible, has common standards, and supports experimentation. It will offer an evolving set of digital tools in order to improve how content is curated and delivered to students in higher education institutions.
more information
The consortium selected the Canvas LMS for its open architecture and flexible learning environment. Canvas currently is used by more than 600 schools around the country, including UM-Dearborn.
"Unizin enables U-M to continue its leadership in the learning technology arena, as we did in co-founding the Sakai community that led to the development of the CTools LMS," said James Hilton, vice provost for digital education and innovation.
"As a founding member of Unizin, U-M has the opportunity to pilot Canvas as our LMS. Piloting will help identify any major factors that may prevent a campuswide adoption and will also inform the design of a broader trial in the winter semester."
Information and Technology Services will conduct the pilots during the fall and winter semesters of the 2014-15 academic year. The fall pilot will consist of about 15 courses distributed across several units on campus, varying in content area, instructional format, and enrollment size.
"If the fall pilot does not uncover a major impediment for the campuswide adoption of a new LMS, the winter pilot will focus on identifying the elements necessary for a smooth campus transition from CTools and, more broadly, on how to efficiently guide the university's transition to the Unizin environment," Hilton said.
ITS and the Office of the Chief Information Officer will work with the Office of the Vice Provost for Digital Education and Innovation and its faculty advisory group to evaluate the pilots
The faculty group, consisting of over 20 members from different units on campus, is charged with submitting two reports to the Office of the Vice Provost for Digital Education and Innovation with recommendations about the adoption of Canvas. The reports, submitted during the fall and winter semesters, will identify perceived benefits, potential downsides, and transition recommendations. The faculty group's reports aim to minimize the associated burden to students, faculty, and staff.

There's an unpleasant situation that runners sometimes experience called "runners' trots" or diarrhea. While short lasting and generally harmless, they can be annoying and cost you time during training or a race.
Certain activities such as high-intensity or long-duration exercise and vertical-impact sports (e.g., running vs. biking) increase your risk of gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort. Dehydration, poor conditioning, medication, and eating habits can cause GI irritation too. Despite the lack of hard evidence as to what causes these GI issues, there are things you can do to help settle your stomach:
- Avoid trying new foods or sports drinks during a race.
- Increase the time between eating and activity. Wait at least 3 hours after eating a large meal, or eat a smaller meal or snack closer to training time.
- Plan out your meals, especially for endurance events.
- Pay attention to what you eat to help identify foods that increase your discomfort during running. It's best to avoid these until after you finish your race.
- Limit your intake of gas-forming or fiber-rich foods (e.g., broccoli, onions, and beans).
- If you're sensitive, avoid coffee and other forms of caffeine before a run.
- Hydrate before and during endurance activities; it will help blood flow to the GI area.
- If you use sports gels or chews for endurance events, drink enough water (three to eight ounces every 15–20 minutes) to stay hydrated.
- Give yourself time to use the bathroom before an endurance exercise.
- Increase distance and intensity gradually.
If symptoms persist for more than a few days, even at rest, seek medical attention. Enjoy your run!

(Reuters) - Striker Adrian Mutu and goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon have been dropped for Romania's 2014 World Cup playoff against Greece, the Romanian football federation (FRF) said on Friday.
Coach Victor Piturca has called up 15 overseas players but decided to leave out Ajaccio's Mutu, Romania's all-time joint leading scorer with 35 goals in 77 internationals, as he has yet to find the net in the French league this season.
Piturca also dropped Manchester City keeper Pantilimon despite his impressive performance in their 2-0 League Cup victory over Newcastle United on Wednesday.
AS Roma keeper Bogdan Lobont, who turns 36 in January, was selected although he has yet to play for the Italian club this season.
Strikers Razvan Cocis and Marius Niculae, both playing for unheralded Ukrainian side Hoverla Uzhgorod, returned to the squad after a long absence.
Piturca will add home-based players to his squad next week for the matches at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium in Athens on November 15 and at home four days later.
Squad (foreign-based players only):
Goalkeepers: Bogdan Lobont (AS Roma)
Defenders: Dorin Goian (Asteras Tripolis), Vlad Chiriches (Tottenham Hotspur), Razvan Rat (West Ham United),
Midfielders: Costin Lazar (PAOK Salonika), Banel Nicolita (Nantes), Gabriel Torje (Espanyol), Alexandru Maxim (VfB Stuttgart)
Strikers: Razvan Cocis (Hoverla Uzhgorod), Gheorghe Bucur (Kuban Krasnodar), Gheorghe Grozav (Terek Grozny), Claudiu Keseru (Bastia), Bogdan Stancu (Genclerbirligi), Ciprian Marica (Getafe), Marius Niculae (Hoverla Uzhgorod)

Ten Rules for Living with My Sister
Posted by willkay on March 29, 2012
When Katherine bought Ten Rules for Living with My Sister by Ann M. Martin, she thought it would be about how to live with a younger sister. Instead, it turned out to be how to live with an older sister! At first, Katherine was a bit disappointed because she wanted a book that would help her live with her younger sister. But as she read the book, she discovered that it did help her. She started to understand her little sister's point of view much better. Of course, there was that time when she used what she had learnt in the book to catch her sister listening into her phone conversations – so that was useful. Katherine recommends this book to boys and girls, because it gives you an understanding of how your younger sibling might be thinking. There isn't a book with ten rules for living with a brother, but this will do until it is written.

It's Late, I'm Sorry
Posted by willkay on March 27, 2012
Yes, I did take in the Reading Log numbers yesterday. Yes, I did intend to write a blog post yesterday. Yes, I didn't get round to it. Sorry. However, on the way home we realised that somehow I hadn't got round to eating since Saturday – Sunday had been so busy in the morning that I forgot to eat all day – so mrs. Kay took me out for a meal. One thing led to another, and with a set of English exams that needed marking (and some fool had asked for a story at the end of the exam – can you imagine how much that increased the marking?), I didn't get round to posting The Wall Of Fame. Apologies. However, it's now 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon, I've marked all my exams, and I am hiding in the staff room while Miss Claudia takes my class for Spanish/History. This means I have access to the internet and can post – just in case I don't get home again tonight!
542 pages: Jose Manuel
373 pages: Gerry
337 pages: Katherine
315 pages: Ana Brenda
308 pages: Azereth
There were also thirteen people who read more than 200 pages. I'd like to add that everyone in 6A read more than 140 pages – which is my own personal target of 20 pages a day, seven days a week. So I am a very happy teacher. Well done everyone!

For a gorgeous, relatively light Christmas side dish, Fabio Trabocchi turns to rainbow chard, which has crisp-tender stalks in an array of bright yellows, pinks and reds. Plain green Swiss chard is delicious here too. Chef Holiday Recipes Made Easy Delicious, Quick Side Dishes
How to Make It
In a large pot, heat 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Stir in the garlic and cook over moderately high heat until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add the chard leaves in large handfuls, allowing each batch to wilt slightly before adding more. Season the chard with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the leaves are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chard to a bowl. Wipe out the pot.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot. Add the chard ribs and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wilted chard leaves and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve right away.
