Former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, on Thursday insisted that he was not sacked by President Goodluck Jonathan as widely reported.
Orubebe, who until Wednesday afternoon was the longest serving minister in President Jonathan's cabinet alongside Diezani Allison-Madueke, said on the contrary he resigned from his appointment to pursue further political career.
He was appointed minister in 2007, first in the Special Duties Ministry and later, Minister of State, Niger Delta Affairs, before he was made the substantive minister in 2010.
Orubebe, who is eyeing the Delta State Government House in the 2015 general elections made the clarification during the handing over ceremony held at the ministry.
He has since handed over to the Minister of State, Darius Ishiaku, who is now presiding as the acting minister.
Orubebe spoke at the emotional farewell ceremony which lasted about three hours and said it was wrong to have believed that no minister can resign except he was sacked.
"For the avoidance of doubt, I was not dropped. I was not sacked. I put in my resignation letter because I am venturing into politics in another dimension at the Federal and state levels," he stated.
The former minister said he can talk boldly now about the President since he is no longer in government.
"President Jonathan means well for this country. His dream is to see that Nigeria is placed in the right place."

People who use wheelchairs often experience an underlying feeling of vulnerability that follows wherever they go. Spina bifida put Paul Brailer in a wheelchair, and he confronted his vulnerability head-on…
One afternoon a few years ago, after he got off work at a local mall, Paul was waiting at a bus stop when a mugger approached and attempted to snatch his cell phone. The mugger was thinking he had an easy target, right? Probably very little strength, can't move quickly, can't roll as fast as I can run, and with no cell phone, he can't call for help.
Wouldn't you have loved to see the mugger's face when Paul trapped his arm and popped his elbow out? Foiled, injured, and stunned at the sudden turn of events, the mugger ran. According to Paul, who still has his cell phone, the would-be thief will probably never use his arm the same way again.
Wheelchair user – 1, Mugger – 0. Don't you just love happy endings?
T'was martial arts that saved the day. His childhood movie heroes–action/adventure stars like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris–sparked young Paul's interest in martial arts, and, as an adult, he became a student of karate, despite only having use of his upper body. It took him almost four years to earn the coveted black belt after passing tests that included sparring, board breaks, and break falls.
While he's unable to do the kicks and stances, Paul does a modified version of whatever he cannot physically do. His instructors showed him adaptive techniques, using his arms and hands to achieve the same effect as a particular kick. His skills in martial arts have made Paul physically stronger and more confident, and his self-esteem grows right along with his muscles. Paul's online students experience the same physical and emotional growth as they learn the art of…
Paul began teaching his defensive-training system to people with disabilities in July of 2012; he encourages and educates the community of people with disabilities on health, fitness, and, of course, self-defense, and he calls it Criptaedo. Today, Paul teaches a variety of defensive skills to individuals with a broad range of disabilities, including people in wheelchairs, and he does it via his YouTube channel–uploading instructional videos for all to access.
As Paul explains:
The intention of the system's name isn't to offend, but to help those of us who've been told what we can't do and to laugh at ourselves a bit. I've been disabled from birth, so I hope I can help others in my position realize that, unless you can poke a little fun at yourself and your disability, you're in for a miserable road. Learning self-defense as a disabled person is awkward, and uniquely challenging. You will fall. You will struggle. And if you can't keep good humor through the process, and not take yourself or your disability too seriously–you will quit.
His encounter with a mugger proves his point. "Either you're a victim, or you fight."
With Paul, it's personal–in the strongest sense of the word. He teaches "personal self-defense" that's tailored to every student's level of disability. If a student uses crutches, he demonstrates how to "grab an attacker and pull him into your world." His web site's tag line says, "A black belt is a white belt that never quit." No doubt, his most-dedicated students feel their vulnerability fade with every new move.
Are you game enough to check out Paul's YouTube channel? Here's one of his videos. Let us know how you like it!

But wait there's more.....
As with the Skeletons we have one bursting out of the ground.
All of these guys have interesting skin texture some with bones or organs protruding.
These two are armed so they will be my primary Ghouls who in Frostgrave are people driven mad and made undead because they had to eat zombie flesh. They retain some intelligence and some of them use weapons.
Note the spike in the arm and the grisly bag of rations, trophies or spare parts this guy is carrying (best not speculate too much on what they are for).
Three more zombies the middle one built from the cultist parts with a zombie head.
I tried to go with a colourful plate for the undead rather than put them all in grays and blacks.
The gruesome duo on the left we have a zombie who is holding his own(?) head and the other shows a nice look at his intestines.
All in all this should be another 40 points for my total and a nice addition to my Frostgrave total I now have a nice collection of undead to terrorize war bands with or serve as zombie support if I run a Necromancer.
Wow, third posting for Adam today. Great work at the paint desk. I like the undead skin tones and the figure arising from the ground. "shows a nice look at his intestines", not a phrase heard much out of anatomy class. 40 points for these undead

Have I told you yet how much I love caramel? I'm mildly obsessed. I can't get enough of caramel lattes, anything with salted caramel, and classic homemade caramel sauce *swoon*. Even though I'm one of those people who rarely makes the same thing twice, caramel sauce is basically a staple in my kitchen. I make it so much that I feel like I can practically do it in my sleep (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing…). So today, my mission is to get you all making homemade caramel sauce as much as I do! This IS a good thing, because once you learn the basics of caramel, it's something you'll have down pat forever and you can use it in a million different ways. I also have a giveaway in store for you – I'm excited!!!
Now I know I'm not the only one out there who's obsessed with homemade caramel, because a crazy amount of people have written to tell me over the past year that they've made my DIY Caramel Sauce; it makes me so happy! I love it too, and the formula is simple: sugar + milk + sea salt = amazing caramel sauce. I like to experiment though, and I wanted to see if I could turn it into something new but just as good. I could! I did! Here's the new formula : sugar + milk + sea salt + cinnamon + vanilla + LorAnn Oils Butter Emulsion = amazing Buttery Cinnamon Caramel Sauce. Yup, read that again. NO cream, NO butter, and you still get a glorious buttery caramel sauce.
So what is butter emulsion? It's a natural butter flavoring that's similar to an extract, but instead of being alcohol-based, it's water-based. That means that when you cook or bake with it, the flavor doesn't bake out. I was super excited to hear about LorAnn's emulsions because a) I get excited about anything that has to do with baking, and b) LorAnn has a million and one types of emulsions and other flavorings. Why stick to the basic vanilla and almond when you can have hazelnut, toffee, irish cream, champagne, cheesecake… annddd I could go on. If you can think of a flavor, LorAnn probably has it. They come in a variety of types – emulsions, natural flavors, and super-strength flavors – and on the LorAnn website, they explain the difference between all of these. (This is good if you start to feel overwhelmed by all the choices, like I did). :D
I have a few of LorAnn's emulsions and flavors and I'm still experimenting with them, but as soon as I tried the butter emulsion in this caramel sauce, I knew I was onto something. I don't know how, but somehow a small drop of this buttery elixir makes the caramel absolutely dreamy.The sauce has this incredible buttery cinnamon flavor that reminds me of butter caramel candies and the glaze on these cinnamon rolls. I've been making it instead of my typical recipe for about a month now, using it in my lattes, and occasionally dipping a spoon straight into the jar. It's good stuff. BUT, I didn't just want to share this recipe without giving you the chance to get some of your own LorAnn Butter Emulsion; how unfair would that be?! Lucky for you, LorAnn Oils has offered to give away three bottles of bakery emulsion and three bottles of super-strength flavorings to one reader! For a chance to win, enter the giveaway in the Rafflecopter form below. (This giveaway is only open to US residents and is open until November 9th at Midnight PST.)
P.S. Making caramel is really simple once you learn the process, but certain steps do go fast, so make sure you read through the entire recipe before you start so you won't miss anything. Also, if you want more tips, you can check out my original DIY Caramel Sauce. There's lots of detailed instructions and also tons of questions I've answered in the comments section. One last thing: making caramel sauce with milk instead of cream works beautifully, BUT there are a few really important things you should do to make sure you don't end up with a curdling issue. 1) Use fresh milk 2) Use pure cane sugar (typically the granulated sugar you find at the store is pure cane sugar) 3) Don't burn your caramel (which would be a bad thing anyhow) and 4) When the recipe says "stir constantly", I really mean CONSTANTLY. All these details are just to set you up for success; once you get it down, it's EASY! :D
Buttery Cinnamon Caramel Sauce
An easy, cinnamon-y, Caramel Sauce made entirely with milk, and infused with butter emulsion for a wonderfully creamy flavor.
- Yield: 3/4-1 cup* 1x
- 7 1/2 ounces (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 8 1/2 ounces (1 cup) milk**
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Lorann Oils Butter Emulsion***
- Place the granulated sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot****, shaking the pot briefly to spread the sugar in an even layer that covers the bottom surface. Place on the stove over medium-low heat and wait for it to melt; this will take anywhere from 10-20 minutes, depending on the heat of your stove. Keep a close eye on the sugar during this time.
- Meanwhile, set out a heat-safe spatula, a trivet, and an oven mitt next to the stove. Measure the milk in a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup and have ready to microwave. Once you start to smell the sugar getting hot (it smells a bit like cotton candy), or when you see it starting to liquify a bit just around the edges, microwave the milk for 60-90 seconds; it should be very warm. Set this near the stove as well.
- Once about 1/4-1/3 of the sugar has melted, use the spatula to start scooping the melted sugar gently over the unmelted sugar, just enough to keep the melted sugar from getting too hot as the rest melts. If you see the sugar starting to clump, stir less. Once all of the sugar has melted, stir gently until it turns a deep rusty golden color. At this point, remove from the heat immediatley and place on the trivet. Using the oven mitt on your stirring hand, stir the melted sugar as you pour the hot milk in. Be careful; it is extremely hot and will bubble up substantially. Continue to stir until the bubbling subsides. Some of the sugar may have seized into a solid clump; don't panic if this happens!
- If the caramel is smooth and you want a thin sauce, skip to the next step. Otherwise, return the pot to the stove (medium-low heat) and stir the caramel constantly until any and all seized sugar has melted back into the caramel. If any hardened sugar is stuck to the sides of the pot, gently pry it off so that it can melt in the liquid. Cook for about 4-8 minutes total, stirring constantly, depending on how thick you want your caramel sauce to be. Four minutes should give you a fairly thick but fluid caramel, while eight minutes should give you a very thick, almost drizzle-able caramel. Exact times will vary depending on the heat of your stove and the type of milk you use. Bear in mind that the caramel will not look very thick while its hot but will thicken substantially as it cools.
- When done cooking, remove caramel from heat and add the cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, and butter emulsion. Stir in until evenly combined. Pour into a heat-safe vessel (like a canning jar) and allow to cool. Lid and transfer to the refrigerator.
*The yield for this recipe will vary depending on how much you cook down the caramel. A thicker caramel will yield less, while a thinner caramel will yield more.
**I usually use 2% milk, but I've had readers make my original all-milk caramel sauce with 1%, almond milk, rice milk, goat's milk, and lactose-free milk (like Lactaid) with success.
***You can find LorAnn emulsions on the LorAnn Oils website as well as Amazon and local crafting and baking stores including Michael's and Joanne.
****It's best to use a light-colored pot so that you can easily see when the caramel is dark enough (so that you don't burn it).
Thanks to LorAnn Oils for providing me with samples of their products to make this post possible!

With remarkable energy and a gift for storytelling that can prickle the back of your neck, McLean captures the humor and pathos in Genesis' dramatic sweep from Eden to Babel, from the immense flood of Noah to Abraham's heart-cleaving sacrifice of his son Isaac, from the epic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to Jacob's soul-wounding wrestling match with the Angel of God.

Achieving the perfect length for your curriculum vitae (CV) can be highly confusing. A quick Internet search reveals that the perfect length should be anywhere between two to 20 pages (not a lot of help). While around five pages is a generally accepted length, ultimately your CV is relative to your experience and the job to which you're applying. Here are some tips:
Know Yourself
Take time to evaluate your experience. If you've just been graduated, you'll have less background and work history and your CV will be shorter. That's to be expected. Also consider how much experience you have that's related to the particular job for which you're applying. If you've done a lot of volunteer work that relates to the position, your CV will be longer. Consider the experience your recruiter wants to see.
Know Your Audience
Determine what your recruiter/potential employer desires from a candidate. This will give you a better idea for the CV length. A position in academia will call for an extensive CV (often including all relevant research and publications). An entry-level position at a manufacturing company will not require as much information as one in academia. The key here is to balance what the recruiter wants to see with what you have to show. Give enough information for the employer to request an in-person interview. Don't overwhelm him or her with information worthy of a novel.
Consult The Experts
If you're still confused about the length of your CV, consider getting help from professionals who offer CV writing services. They'll know the ideal length for someone in your field. Masters Essay can help you with length or write your CV for you. Call us toll free at 1-800-573-0840.

I recently heard a discussion about the "The Rule of One," in the context of coaching. The premise, as stated in the related article, was this:
"One person. One comment. One time. It can change a life forever. Our words can be affirming and life changing, or demeaning and depressing. We don't get to pick and choose which ones stick, and which ones our kids forget, so we better be careful."
It got me thinking about the awesome responsibility and invaluable opportunity that goes along with being a coach. As 1984 gold medalist Deb Armstrong says, "It's simple yet not easy. It's not rocket science but it's the most difficult thing ever."
When people talk about the magic of great coaches, one statement always comes up: "They believed in me." The simple yet critical act of believing is what allows a coach to have profound impact on an athlete, and unlock his or her highest potential. Belief, however, is not a matter of saying, 'I believe in you, so believe in yourself.' It is a two-way street, traveled by coach and athlete, that spans hard work, honesty and mutual respect. A relationship of trust that begets belief, is the basis for all great coaching, which makes it a great place to start:
Coaches who look to build athletes into better, stronger, happier more capable people are building transformational relationships, that often last a lifetime. This is very different than the transactional relationship based on achieving results.
"My best coaches were invested in me personally, because we had a relationship with each other, we wanted the best in life for each other, like friends," says 1985 World Championship bronze medalist Eva Twardokens. "They reminded me that ski results were not going to make or break my life." She uses that approach in her current life, as a personal trainer and health practitioner: "They are not clients, patients, or students—they are all relationships."
As the saying goes, "They won't care what you know until they know that you care." That statement is as true with horse-whispering as it is with ski racing and virtually any learning environment. The place to start is eye contact, even when it means getting you're your knees to talk to a 6-year-old. US Ski Team Women's Speed Coach Chip White started his ski coaching career in Mammoth under Dennis Agee, who taught him the importance of treating each athlete with respect. "He told me, 'You need to make them believe they are the most important person right then. Look them in the eye and let them know you hear them.'" This does not mean you gloss over hard truths. "You have to be honest, but you have to be present with them at that moment," adds White, who strives to create a team environment where every member of the team, including coaches, athletes, service and support staff feel connected, valued and included.
"You can smell emotional commitment from a mile away." So said Gene Webb, a pioneer in business organization at Stanford University. Jim Thompson, founder of Positive Coaching Alliance, once worked with Webb and in his work now he observes that where coaches have a pied-piper following, "connection precedes commitment." Said one 18-year-old of his best coaches: "They care. And they are in to it." Great coaches bring an infectious level of enthusiasm to everything they do. They may or may not be great skiers, but they are connected to the sport and the athletes, often leading the charge on a powder day. When a coach doesn't care about an athlete or the sport, coaching becomes just a job and a very uninspiring one at that. When a coach constantly questions or challenges an athlete's commitment it erodes trust and confidence. When the connection is authentic and sincere, however, athlete commitment—to a coach or a program—naturally follows.
Ski racing is a complex interplay of technique, tactics and equipment over variable terrain, which is further complicated by constantly changing weather and surface. The last thing an athlete needs is a coach with TMI. Mark Smith, head FIS coach at Ski Club Vail, has a coaching philosophy inspired by his own coach, Hermann Göllner. "He was always very calm and broke things down into simpler terms so I could stay focused. That's what I like to do now." Smith's technical progressions build on each skill only after it has been mastered. A measured, incremental approach allows athletes to break a complicated sport into simple, achievable steps. The slow and steady build may not be difficult, but, in a hyper competitive environment where chasing races can be a year-round pursuit, it takes discipline and resolve to execute. When talking about coaching Smith's best advice is, "The biggest secret is there is no secret." Smith notes that one thing in this sport has remained simple: "It still only takes two races in a year to score and move up."
Athletes need to push their limits to excel. Setting a goal too low does nothing but feed the ego, but setting it too high kills confidence. "Each athlete has that sweet spot where the challenge is easy enough to inspire, but hard enough so that it will take a leap—of faith and in learning—to reach it," explains World Champ medalist coach Doug Lewis. "Ultimately, they are giving you the confidence to know yourself, identify your needs and gain independence."
Lewis has been coaching kids ages 9-14 at his ELITEAM camps for 26 years. The task of getting 60 kids that age to work together and stay positive while pushing their physical limits and learning new things would be akin to herding cheetahs without some serious organization and prep. "Great coaches are organized and prep for every session," says Lewis, "because they know that time spent training should be spent training—not setting up, not finding things, not waiting on people, not waiting on OKs, not in lines at the top of the course, etc. Athletes deserve as much prep from the coaches that the coaches expect from the athletes." So there!
It's not enough to have a plan. You have to communicate it clearly, ahead of time. Doing that makes even tough messages easier to accept, and invites input before it is too late. Smith, whose seasonal plans typically involve more gradual progressions and less total racing than parents are used to, always explains the plan and its purpose, and welcomes questions, well before the training starts. "If you explain the program really well up front, people tend to buy in to it," he says.
The last thing any athlete needs is more pressure. The ability to create an environment that is both low stress and high energy, one that allows a team of fierce competitors—all of whom have the very highest expectations—to sit at the same dinner table, is an art. When a coach can do this, you see a team dynamic that lifts each individual to higher levels. Michel Rudigoz, who formed his coaching style under France's Honoré Bonnet, enabled that magic with the early 1980's US women's ski team. "What he did was to soften the ambience," says 1983 Overall World Cup Champ Tamara McKinney. She recalls Rudigoz using kindness, humor and solid advice to lift her out of a 14 DNF streak. "He brought the love of life, and humanizing to that level of the sport." Rudigoz's gift was in balancing the discipline of hard work with the freedom to relax, be yourself and enjoy the journey. "I was not cracking the whip," explains Rudigoz, who advised younger athletes to learn from their environment. "I would say: 'You're great! But you're going too slow. Look at the fast girls. Train with them.'"
Leaders need to exude confidence, especially in tough situations. That does not mean you have to be a know-it-all dictator. "If you know everything it's time to get out because you are not going to help anyone, including yourself," says White, who credits his coaching style to many mentors along the way. "I like listening to people. As long as you feel like you are being heard it goes a long way. That goes for me too." Coaches who are open and eager to learn about their athletes and their sport are in the best position to get the most out of everyone around them.
As Celtic Football Club manager Brendan Rogers says it, "Every player has four words written on his or her forehead: "Show Me I'm Loved." One of the most common bad coaching moves is to play favorites, giving more time to the strongest athletes and less to the struggling ones. "This drives me crazy," says Lewis, "and I see it and hear about it all the time. All athletes deserve the same amount of energy and love." In fact, the fastest athletes typically need less time and attention from the coach and the struggling ones need more. Great coaches put extra effort into athletes who are putting their hearts into the sport, despite struggling to fit in or find success. Tiny victories for those athletes are far more valuable and rewarding than another win for a super star.
Finding that perfect coaching match is a rare and wonderful thing. "Athletes and parents need to know that it's not a given, and not something you are entitled to," says Armstrong, now a U-10 coach at Steamboat. "It's like finding the love of your life. When you have it, love it. If you don't have it, don't worry about it." Armstrong found that magic in her high school basketball coach, Ralph Hayden. "First, he taught me the skills and had the knowledge. Second, he really appreciated me and believed in me. I FELT his commitment." A great coach for one person may not be great for another, which brings us to…
If you stay in any sport long enough you will run in to coaches that don't know their stuff, are arrogant or insecure or both, erode confidence, ignore struggling athletes, have no plans, have inflexible plans, say nothing, say too much, etc, etc. Great coaching is often best defined by how it contrasts with examples of not-so-great coaching. The image of my kid's soccer coach, sitting silently on the water cooler through an entire game with his head down comes to mind. I've seen, heard and lived through far too many bad coaching moments, at every level, to recount. The lesson is that a great athlete can't depend on coaching. "Ultimately you will be by yourself as you progress and move on and up through the ranks," says Lewis, who credits bad coaches with teaching him about self-awareness, self-advocacy and independence, all things that enabled him to coach himself.
Nobody but nobody is perfect. When great coaches mess up, lose patience, make a bad decision or otherwise are off their game, they acknowledge it and apologize. Those little acts of honesty and humility are memorable and powerful.
Author's note: A huge thanks to all the athletes and coaches who contributed to this piece, knowingly and unknowingly, by good example and bad. Anyone quoted and referred to was first identified by multiple athletes as a great coach. I spoke to and about many great coaches not mentioned by name. To all of you great coaches out there, hopefully along the way the people you have impacted let you know!

The Permanent Peoples Tribunal's (PPT) today found the State of Myanmar guilty of the crime of genocide against the Kachin people and other Muslim groups, including the Rohingyas.
In a unanimous decision, former President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Daniel Feierstein who headed a seven-member panel, ruled the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
"On the strength of the evidence presented, the Tribunal reached the consensus ruling that the State of Myanmar has the intent to commit genocide against the Kachin people and the other Muslim groups. Further, the State of Myanmar is guilty of the crime of genocide against the Rohingya group," said Feierstein.
Reading out the judgment, Feierstein said all these unpunished crimes had been and were currently committed by the Burmese Army and by the regime in power in the State of Myanmar who seemed to be part of a plan.
"(with intention) to deny every expression of autonomy and self-government of the people of Kachin state and, more generally, to humiliate and to destroy the ethnic and cultural identity of minorities living in Burma," he said
The panel arrived at the decision after hearing and analysing arguments by the prosecution, views of the expert witnesses and victim's testimonies throughout a five-day trial ended today at the Universiti Malaya Faculty of Law.
Findings of the Tribunal will be communicated to various UN Human Rights bodies including its Human Rights Council in Geneva and the Office of the Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide in New York.
The other six judges comprised of Zulaiha Ismail (Malaysia), Helen Jarvis (Cambodia-Australia), Gill H. Boehringer (Australia), Nursyahbani Katjasungkana (Indonesia), Shadi Sadr (Iran) and Nello Rossi (Italy).
The Permanent Peoples' Tribunal is an international opinion tribunal founded in Bologna (Italy) on 1979. Since its establishment, the tribunal has held 43 sessions on numerous cases of human and people's rights violations.
The Tribunal also made 17 recommendations following the judgement today.
Among the recommendations announced was an immediate ceasefire package and de-militarisation with all armed groups in Rakhine state and the Myanmar military, including a de-militarised zone along the border in Northern region of Rakhine state.

Sometime last week my left eye began twitching involuntarily. It spasms as if a pocket of air is trying to escape. It doesn't hurt, but is odd to have an eyelid sputtering like a hummingbird.
Somebody told me eye spasms are symptomatic of Iron deficiency, which is likely as my recent diet consists of Cap'n Crunch, Slurpees, Coffee and Irish whiskey. However, from what I've read, there is no evidence to link eye twitches to Iron deficiency. Stranger still, many medical experts are at a loss to explain how eye twitches are caused at all. Could it be a voodoo hex? Or aliens beaming their Tivo selections into my brain? The dead attempting communication from the other side?
Please advise,
Fergis McGillicuddy
PS: Please don't tell me that brain worms are eating their way to the outside world through my peepers. I'd rather have them go through the nasal cavity.

Elements of Style Bedroom Update
I adore Erin Gates' blog, Elements of Style, and her decorating style and taste so I was so excited to see what she did with her bedroom renovation. It did not disappoint! If there's one thing I want when I'm older it's gotta be a 4-poster bed. There is just nothing better and more elegant. Erin really wanted one for her bedroom but she couldn't find one she quite liked so she did a design collaboration with Kristin Drohan and designed her own! It is fab. Light wood and a faux leather tufted headboard? Swoon. Her fabrics and colors and everything are perfect and I love all of the hardware and custom details in her master bath and closet. I would take this whole situation as is...

Choosing the best Joomla hosting for your website is a tough and often all too confusing process. It's tough to make a simple comparison because there is no such thing as an absolute "best Joomla hosting" There is only the hosting that is right for you considering all the tradeoffs.
Based on my experience working with many hosting companies, there are a few that are a good fit for most Joomla users.
Best Joomla Hosting Choices
|Best if you want…
|…high-performance & independent w/ great customer support.
|…good overall value w/ good pricing, support & unmetered features.
|…high-performance, developer-friendly w/ global data centers.
|…professionally managed Joomla cloud-based hosting.
Considerations for the Best Joomla Hosting for You
First, remember that Joomla does not need "Joomla Hosting" per se. Often, those plans are simple upsells with no significant. Joomla only needs a Linux server with PHP and adequate memory.
You can run Joomla on really any hosting company offers Linux shared hosting. Now, if you need to max out performance for a fast-growing site with a pre-configured server, or want a support person that can login to your Joomla install and make changes – those features can be significant and might be worth paying for.
This Joomla hosting quiz takes all the most common considerations and maps out the answers to the best Joomla hosting choices based on my experience both running websites and consulting with a range of clients (you can read about my specific experiences on my reviews page). So take the quiz and see who fits your needs the best!
Here's the considerations included on the quiz –
Everyone wants a good deal. But defining your budget helps narrow down your choices. Think about when you go to buy a car – setting a price of $10,000 will rule out the Ferrari.
The other thing to consider with hosting pricing is how long you are locked in for. Some hosts require that you prepay for a year (they'll usually offer a discount though) and some allow you to pay monthly.
Customer Service
Everyone wants great customer service. But providing high-quality customer service across a range of support channels costs money. If you are comfortable Googling and figuring problems out for yourself, it might not be as important as pricing or performance.
Type of Company
Some people like the branding and resources of a large, established company. Some people like the personal touch of a small company. And some want something in between. And still others want a company that provides a highly specialized experience for something like Joomla. Some want the company to be involved in the community or an official Joomla host (as is the case with SiteGround).
Account User-friendliness
Some people want a clean, smooth, user-friendly backend. Some don't care about the design – they just want everything to be there and to function. And still others really don't care about the backend – they want all technical options open for professionals (either a hired developer or customer support) to use as needed.
Highest Priority
Even though everyone wants the best overall deal, when it comes down to it, there are usually tradeoffs. What's the one thing that will really make your website experience awesome?
Handling Traffic
No server can handle infinite traffic – even Amazon and Google have gone down before. However, different hosting companies offer better server options that will help keep your site up when you go viral. If you are a small site with consistent traffic, this might not be important to you. If you are a rapidly growing site, this might very important to you.
Number of Websites
How many websites do you want to run on your account? For some, it might just be the one. Others might want a test site, a hobby site and maybe a personal site. Your choice can rule out some hosting choices.
Speed & Security
Some hosting companies take an active approach to speed and security of your Joomla website. Others leave it up to you as long as you aren't affecting other account holders. Like customer service, more involvement usually costs money. If you are the type to keep your Joomla install updated with security software – then this might not be important to you compared to price or customer service.
You might also place an extremely high priority on speed & security where you want professionals to actively manage those aspects of your Joomla website.
Joomla Specific Services
Most any hosting company that offers shared Linux hosting with PHP can run Joomla. You do not need "Joomla Hosting" to run Joomla. On the other hand, some companies do provide useful Joomla related services such as emergency patching and specially configured servers. Those may or may not be important to you.

Malcom X would have been 84 this week.
No accident to see this video posted in 2009, the year of the economic crisis.... Here is a new book that is a testament to Malcolm's 85th birthday June 2010.... "Malcolm X, Black Liberation and the Road to Workers Power by Jack Barnes "...A powerful and persuasive political testimony..." From Midwest Book Review online. Publisher is Pathfinder. Remember this quote from Malcolm X? "We declare our right on this earth...to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary." We need this kind of leadership today as we face economic depression and decades of war. Two "war presidents" in a row! This is a fascinating new book on Malcolm X, as a revolutionary thinker, and the 150 year history of struggle against racism and exploitation by Black workers and farmers that reshaped society and produced Malcolm X.

Suppose you have six pigeons. You want to put them into five holes. Then at least one of the holes must contain more than one pigeon.
This simple idea is a very important mathematical principle known as the pigeonhole principle, or sometimes Dirichlet principle, Dirichlet's box principle etc. If you have come across this you have probably wondered (like me) why it is named after Dirichlet, or how exactly did he use it. Dirichlet was one of the most prominent mathematicians of all time, having many important things named after him. E.g.
- Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions that says any arithmetic progression , where and are integers sharing no common factor greater than , must contain infinitely many prime numbers.
- Dirichlet's unit theorem, a result about the units in the ring of integers of an algebraic number field.
- Dirichlet L-function, a generalisation of the Riemann Zeta function.
- The Dirichlet conditions for a Fourier series.
- And many, many more.
When I first came to know that the pigeonhole principle was credited to Dirichlet, I was curious as to what Dirichlet had to do with it. A number theory lecture from last term happened to shed some light on it. First we need to know some basic facts about rational approximations.
We know that any real number has arbitrarily good rational approximations: just take the decimal expansion and truncate it anywhere. The more digits, the better the approximation. However, there is a different notion of a 'good rational approximation' in number theory.
Let be a real number. A way of measuring how good a rational number approximates is to check how small is. We say that is a best approximation to if for any integers and we have .
Dirichlet proved the following theorem using his principle:
Theorem. (Dirichlet) Let be a real number. Then for any integer there exist integers with such that
Proof. By and we respectively denote the fractional part and integer part of the real number . E.g.
Note that .
Consider the numbers . These are numbers all lying between and (inclusive). Divide the interval into the intervals . Since we have intervals and numbers each lying in one of these, the pigeonhole principle says that there must be two numbers lying in the same interval. Then the difference of these two numbers must be less than , the length of the interval.
If one of the two numbers is , then for some , so take and . Otherwise, let the two numbers be with . Then
where and , with , as required.

Poetry played a large role in Calvin Coolidge's funeral. The former president was remembered and honored in a short ceremony that lasted a brief 22 minutes and featured all of two hymns, prayers, and reading of Scripture, which included more poetry in Psalms 46 and 121.
At the grave site, a few brief words and a poem by Robert Richardson, and that was all. The funeral featured little pomp and circumstance, and it was not held in Washington, Boston, or New York but rather in his adopted home town of Northampton.Continue reading The Poetry of Calvin Coolidge's Funeral

Owner financing has become very popular due to our current banking crisis. In most cases it's an individual/ mortgagee who will sell her/his property by creating most likely through an attorney a promissory note and mortgage deed to allow the buyer of his/her property to pay them directly. However at some point, the individual selling the property may decide to sell the rights to that contract to another individual. The buyer or mortgagor will then pay the new individual/ mortgagee and the old mortgagee is released after the closing and happy to receive a cash payout.
Please also consider us if you don't have a note to sell but are attempting to borrow money against existing real estate and you are having a problem finding a lender. We do hard money loans depending on the property's value even with not so perfect credit.
Upon completion of preliminary due diligence, a closing can normally take place in less than 21 days in either situation.

National Poll Finds Accredited Marine Parks, Aquariums and Zoos Best Places for Children to Learn About, Connect with Marine Mammals. Children have a natural curiosity about dolphins, whales and other marine mammals. The best way for parents to encourage this interest – and to inspire a lifelong passion for wildlife conservation – is to log kids off the computer and visit an accredited marine park, aquarium or zoo, where learning best happens. That's according to a new national public opinion poll that says the public strongly believes seeing and experiencing live animals is the best way for children to learn about marine mammals. Released today by the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, the survey of more than 1,000 adults found that97 percent of people agree that marine life parks, aquariums and zoos are important because they educate children about marine mammals–animals that children might not have the opportunity to see in the wild.
Ninety-four percent of those polled agree that children are more likely to be concerned about animals if they learn about them at marine life parks, aquariums and zoos, and that visiting these facilities can inspire conservation action that can help marine mammals and their ocean environments. The poll, conducted by Harris Interactive®, also found that 94 percent of people agree that zoological parks and aquariums offer valuable information about the importance of oceans, bodies of water and the animals that live there. Parks provide important interactions that are a critical first step in promoting kids to take action to help animals and their habitats,"said Marilee Menard, executive director of the Alliance.
Additionally, the poll found that 89 percent agree that children learn more about marine mammals at an aquarium or zoo than in a school classroom, and 88 percent agree that you can learn about animals at marine parks in a way that can't be replicated by watching film or TV programs. Some 91 percent agree that seeing a marine mammal at these facilities fosters a connection to the animal. When children – and adults – see and experience the excitement of being close to marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, and sea lions, it resonates in ways that even the most vividly illustrated book or video cannot. It is an emotionally enriching experience that fosters a sense of caring for these animals and their ocean environments," said Menard, whose Alliance membership represents 48 accredited facilities that account for the greatest body of experience and knowledge about marine mammal care and husbandry in the world.
Other findings from the new public attitude survey include:
• 40 percent of Americans (about 125 million people) have visited a marine park, aquarium or zoo in the last 12 months, including 56 percent of households with children (about 20 million households).
• 94 percent believe the people who care for the animals at marine life parks,aquariums and zoos are committed to the welfare of the animals.
• 7 percent (ages 18-24) would be interested in swimming with dolphins.
• 93 percent believe that many of the successes to save endangered or declining species are at least in part a result of work done in marine life parks, aquariums and zoos.
90 percent agree that species in the wild benefit when their biology and physiology is studied in marine life parks, aquariums and zoos.
•90 percent believe that interacting with dolphins in a marine life park, aquarium or zoo offers people a deeper understanding and appreciation of this mammal.
We pride ourselves on providing an educational and enjoyable experience for families," Menard said. "Professionals at Alliance member institutions work every day to inspire guests of all ages to share their commitment to marine mammals, the need to protect them in the wild and to conserve ocean habitats."
Harris Interactive® conducted the study online on behalf of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums between Aug. 29 and Sept. 6, 2011 among a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,011 U.S. adults ages 18 and over. The data were weighted where necessary to be representative of the total U.S. adult population on the basis of age, sex, race/ethnicity, education,region and household income. The propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.
The Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums is an international association of marine life parks, aquariums, zoos, research facilities, and professional organizations dedicated to the highest standards of care for marine mammals and to their conservation in the wild through public education, scientific study, and wildlife presentations.

So here is my attempt at doing a book chapter 'creative writing' style. Feel free to critique and kick me in the head as you wish. Since this is my first attempt at writing 'off the top of my head' in a long time, I need all the help I can get!
My warmest and tenderest memory of my daughter, Alyssa, is from the evening before we said goodbye to Virginia and the Navy forever, seeking our new lives and fortunes in Texas. It was a farewell party my wife, Sue's, parents house, and many friends were in attendance. Alyssa was quite the excitable 4 year old, and since this party was in our honor and she'd be the center of attention, she'd been looking forward to it all day long. Around 5:00pm the front room was packed with friends and family, and plenty of the exquisite Italian cooking Sue's mom was famous for creating. Alyssa shone brightly as she moved from guest to guest, the perfect mini-hostess, engaging everyone in delightful conversation, but never lingering too long at any one knot of people. She made me proud simply by being herself. This went on until eight, which was a good bit past her bedtime. I'd emerged from the kitchen nibbling on a canole, and noticed my daughter wandering by herself, looking quite distraught. I gathered her into my arms and asked her outright, "What's the matter honey? Are you sleepy?" She tearfully told me yes and buried her head onto my shoulder as if she'd failed at something. I carried her into my in-law's bedroom and placed her gently into bed, and told her how proud I was of her for being at the party and talking to everyone, and that I loved her. Her tired smile lingered for only a moment as she drifted off to a well earned sleep.
Now this is neither the introduction nor the 'hook' that all books are famous for, it's a snippet from a memoir. Please keep this in mind if you were looking for excitement or 'grabbiness'. I have not edited this work in the slightest - this comes later on as the work progresses. It's merely a recount of a memory which needs a good bit of dressing to bring it to fruition.

"Apparently Sen. Allen (R-VA) now says the noose he had as an office decoration was "more of a lasso". "* ap:
"The leaders of the House Intelligence Committee are at an impasse over whether to subpoena jailed former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham as part of an investigation into Cunningham's actions on the committee, the panel's top Democrat said Tuesday.* laura:
The disagreement threatens to end chances for a bipartisan resolution to the investigation, Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., said in an interview with The Associated Press.
"What to make of Bob Novak's latest on Armitage and what he says was Armitage's very deliberate role in telling him about Plame? I'll take a shot at it. Novak's message is that Armitage is a far more canny and calculating bureaucratic infighter who sought to curry favor with the Bush administration (by discrediting Wilson for talking on background with Kristof), even while not a true believer in the cause of the war intelligence or the war. Novak wants this exposed, to salvage his own reputation on the right, which wants to delegitimize the whole Fitzgerald investigation, prompted by his column. I do remember reading somewhere years ago that for a time Armitage hoped to be appointed the top dog at the Pentagon or CIA under Bush (maybe in James Mann's excellent Rise of the Vulcans)."
* egads - i've just finished typing up the raw transcript of the interview. 22,000 words. now i have to try to make it readable!

Right now our thoughts and prayers are with the brave Japanese people as they struggle to deal with the terrible aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami and now the nuclear threat. This is also a time to reflect on the risks posed by nuclear power generation and to ask if we should continue with this massive investment. Might our money be better spent on renewable energy?
This letter featrured in The Guardian, Wednesday 16 March 2011:
The assessment in your editorial (15 March) that "the balance of the rational argument could conceivably be more in favour of nuclear [power] in a month's time" is not just premature but ignores a number of important factors. Most worryingly, terrorists will have seen the devastation, disruption and fear that can be caused by an attack on a reactor's cooling system, which presents a much easier target for them than the containment vessel surrounding the core.
Secondly, your claim that the renewable alternatives are "illusions" is at variance with the facts. Germany has installed more wind power capacity than the entire current UK nuclear capacity, and is adding to it at a rate equivalent to more than one new reactor a year. Furthermore, in 2009 alone Germany installed solar photovoltaic systems with capacity equivalent to approximately four nuclear reactors, and it looks like the 2010 figures will be much higher.
The coalition should reverse Labour's dangerous decision to go for new nuclear build and use the money saved, firstly to strengthen our current nuclear facilities against terrorist attack, secondly to solve the long-term nuclear waste problem and thirdly to support renewables.
Emeritus Professor Keith Barnham
The case against nuclear
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-nuclear_movement)
Anti-nuclear critics see nuclear power as a dangerous, expensive way to boil water to generate electricity. Opponents of nuclear power have raised a number of related concerns:
- Nuclear accidents: a concern that the core of a nuclear power plant could overheat and melt down, releasing radioactivity.
- Radioactive waste disposal: a concern that nuclear power results in large amounts of radioactive waste, some of which remains dangerous for very long periods.
- Nuclear proliferation: a concern that the facilities and expertise to produce nuclear power can be readily adapted to produce nuclear weapons.
- High cost: a concern that nuclear power plants are very expensive.
- Nuclear terrorism: a concern that nuclear facilities could be targeted by terrorists or criminals.
- Curtailed Civil liberties: a concern that the risk of nuclear accidents, proliferation and terrorism may be used to justify restraints on citizen rights.

Big surprise: The man who got a tattoo of Mitt Romney's logo on his face now regrets getting a tattoo of Mitt Romney's logo on his face. What are the odds?
The man, 30-year-old Eric Hartsburg of Indiana, initially said after Romney lost the presidential election that he had no regrets about the ink, and he even vowed to keep it for life to show his everlasting support for Romney. Now, however, he's changed his tune a bit - speaking to Politico, Hartsburg says that, after hearing Romney's post-election comments crediting Obama's win to "gifts" given to constituencies, he now believes that the former Republican candidate has "no dignity," and wants the tattoo removed ASAP.
"It stands not only for a losing campaign but for a sore loser...he's pretty shameful as far as I'm concerned, man," he said. "There's no dignity in blaming somebody else for buying votes and paying off people. I can't get behind that or stay behind that."
Luckily for Hartsburg, tattoo removal chain Dr. TATOFF has offered to remove the ink for free in Los Angeles. Unluckily for Hartsburg, though, he has learned nothing from this experience: He hasn't ruled out getting any more political tattoos.
"After it's off, I'll put the space back up for sale," he said, "but I might be a little bit more choosy about political tattooing." Some people just deserve what they get.

University Park, Pa. — Making sense of the complex issues the G-20 will tackle at their summit in Pittsburgh beginning today (Sept. 24) will be made a little easier thanks to a series of YouTube videos featuring Penn State educators. The list of challenges the G-20 faces is daunting: the global economic crisis, sustainable development, terrorist financing and climate change, among others.
John McCarthy, professor and head of sociology from Penn State's College of Liberal Arts, sheds light on why the G-20 is a magnet for social activism and protest. McCarthy explains who the protesters are, what their message is, and how preparations for protest have handled in Pittsburgh. View McCarthy's video at live.psu.edu/youtube/2A6wyPGUssQ
Nancy Tuana, director of Penn State's Rock Ethics Institute, explores the importance of placing ethics and integrity at the heart of the G-20's core mission. Tuana touches on the millennium development goals, the challenge of defining ethical economic growth, and Pennsylvanians' need to embrace responsible global citizenship. View Tuana's video at live.psu.edu/youtube/ut5qVK6fuYo
Deno DeCiantis, director of The Penn State Center: Engaging Pittsburgh, explains what makes his city so attractive as a host for the G-20 today. DeCiantis points to Pittsburgh's proven ability to bounce back from adversity, and its emerging reputation as a center for green, sustainable technology.

Welcome to this week's Doctor Who's Day roundup, a cosmic slop of fan creativity, news and other Whovian spices gathered fresh at dawn from a week marinading on the internet.
And we begin this week with a particularly good fanmade trailer for a Doctor Who story that doesn't exist.
If you've ever wondered what it might look like to see the Seventh Doctor and his companion Ace face off against the Weeping Angels, and for that particular encounter to have been filmed and released on VHS video during the 1980s, the fantastic ADmiralPRESENTS has created the perfect clip for you. And even if you haven't, it's still a wonderful tribute to a bygone era in entertainment technology:
And it's not the only Doctor Who trailer that has been created to recapture the visual effects of that era. Back in March, smallerpictures made this Tenth Doctor trailer, complete with new graphics:
Or to bring things bang up to date, Gallifreyforever97 has made this trailer for Season 9 in the style of Star Wars: The Last Jedi:
Here's what else has been going on in space and time this week:
• Matt Lucas is enjoying being unconventional:
• Cyberman and fries:
• The First Doctor and some Zarbi pals:

I love looking close, then closer
at the Word, His words,
true for eternity, true for today,
words for everyone,
for any one,
for one,
for me.
It is tucked into my psalm for the day, a gift, the Presence. I haven't asked. Not yet. I am too unsettled to name my need. I feel restless; anxiety dances in my peripheral space, my soul is a noisy place.
I desperately need... Him, need the present of His Presence. Even if I don't know enough to ask, He knows. He always knows. And He gives. Himself. Again.
Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you...
Those are the words over which I linger, the words I dare to presume can be true, can be meant for me. I imagine treasure, like foil wrapped chocolates on Egg-Hunt day, waiting to be discovered. Hidden there by Him. For me. It is as if God smiles and nudges me..."look under there." I begin to dig, to dance around the words, to push them left and right, to see what might lie hidden beneath them.
Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you...
Cast -- throw, hurl, toss, heave. I am weak and weary. Even the strength to do this must come from God.
your burden -- "what He has given you" says the marginal note, an alternative translation, and I pause long here. Yes, this is from You, this burden I carry, and what You have given is heavy. I ponder this duality of my reality - this heavy burden is what He has given. This that I cannot carry and must cast on You has come from You. I know I cannot carry this gift. I will regift it to the One who gave it, as per His instructions.... Is this possible? Can I do that?? It doesn't seem proper. It could be a scandal, and it is, oh, it is. It is a scandalous love His offers.
on the Lord -- really? Again I ask, really? He really does not mean for me to carry this on my own?
and He -- that one, That One, who is Refuge, Tower, Heart Mender, Dream Sender, Hand Holder even though I'm older, my Helper, my Teacher, Lost Sheep Seeker, Sustainer, Tear Saver... how is it that at 50-something it seems I've only begun to discover who He is?
will sustain -- keep, maintain, guide, hold, nourish, make provision, provide sustenance, be present...Is it not enough that He is all that He is? He will also do on my behalf all that I need? Is it possible to be so kept, so cared for by That One?
you -- No qualifiers. I can look in the mirror and read this to myself. These words are for me. Me. Needy, high maintenance, empty me.
Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you...
So, here I am, in such need of this verse for this day.
I come empty
empty of strength, empty of rest, empty of vision, empty of hope;
I come full,
full of weariness, full of heaviness, full of anxieties, full of plaguing doubts about the "gift" You have given.
And I do it:
with the strength that comes from you,
I throw, I heave, I cast my burden,
this entire heart full of stuff,
(what You have given me?!)
on the You, Lord,
You who really are "all that" and more.
And You - yes, that One,
will sustain and keep and bear and make provision for
and hold and nourish and and guide and be present for

Hello my brothers. It`s long time since last post. Yes brothers, life is going faster now a days, so my time it`s share with a lot of thing I call life. And it`s away from social medias. Thanks' for that. But still i`m here, listen some music, fighting some disagrees. So I back, once more, like I always do. This time I bring you this great disc that reunite Javier Corcobado and Manta Ray. If you don`t meet the first one, I introduce you: he is a Spanish musician, very important in underground scene. He was part of legendarys Mar Otra Vez and Demonios Tus Ojos. And he has build a career away from mainstream. However, in main countrys like Spain, live in and for the art is a reality. Here, in our Latin-America if kind of difficult live of it.
But doesn't matter. We still here, living our life. Something I have learn this last year, under the liberal government, people is a result, in a very high level, of the system. The system it`s so big and so ghost that it is continuously repeating the same way in people. Doen`t matter who is it in any time, because the system is bigger than ordinary people. So, here I let you this great disc of Corcobado and Manta Ray. Enjoy. Some time, some day I will back.
