Coalition forces are routing the Taliban in Kandahar province, forcing its fighters to abandon bases they've held for years, Afghan officials say.
Ahmed Wali Karzai, half-brother of Afghan president Hamid Karzai, told The Associated Press late Wednesday that he believed most of the insurgents had left before NATO and Afghan forces began an operation to wrest control of the province in July.
He said other fighters had been arrested or killed and there was not a single Taliban base left in Kandahar. That claim could not be verified, The Associated Press reported.
Karzai, who heads a provincial council in Kandahar, said government officials were moving in to set up institutions in areas cleared of Taliban by security forces.
Improving residents' quality of life is seen as crucial to winning their long-term support.
The apparent military success comes amid a new diplomatic push for peace with talks between leading Taliban figures and the Afghan government. The New York Times reported Wednesday that NATO had flown some Taliban officials to the talks, although the U.S. government has stressed it is not involved.
At a press conference in Kabul Thursday, a spokesman for Afghanistan's high peace and reconciliation committee refused to confirm or deny NATO's involvement in transporting Taliban leaders to the talks, saying any disclosure might jeopardize the process.
He also refused to comment on an unconfirmed report that Mullah Baradar, previously the Taliban's overall military commander who was arrested in Karachi, Pakistan, in February, was involved in the talks.

Meanwhile, many hardened fighters have fled strongholds held by the Taliban for years, The New York Times reported Thursday.
"We now have the initiative. We have created momentum," Maj. Gen. Nick Carter, the British commander of the NATO coalition forces in southern Afghanistan who has overseen the Kandahar operation for the last year, told the newspaper. "It is everything put together in terms of the effort that has gone in over the last 18 months and it is undoubtedly having an impact."
Large numbers of American and Afghan government troops have been sent to Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban, in recent months.
"Afghans will tell you, if you have a peaceful Kandahar, you will have a peaceful Afghanistan," Carter told the Times.
However he added "only time will tell" as to the ultimate success of the operation, which began in August when Afghan forces began to clear Mehlajat on the southern outskirts of Kandahar city, the newspaper said.
U.S. troops then moved in from the north, into the rural district of Arghandab. Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division moved into the Zhare district in the southwest, where the Times said they encountered strong resistance at first.

The Taliban had created a fortified redoubt of command posts and mined areas in an area called the horn of Panjwai over the last four years, the Times reported.
Last weekend, an airborne assault was mounted by a combined Afghan-U.S. force which the Times said had surprised the Taliban in its intensity.
The paper, citing NATO commanders, local people and the Taliban itself, said many Taliban commanders had fled to Pakistan and most of the fighters had also gone away or hidden their weapons.
New rocket
Local people said the Taliban had been shocked by the attacks and, in particular, the use of a new rocket introduced in the last two or three weeks, the Times said.
Carter told the paper this was probably a Himar or High Mobility Artillery Rocket. "They are extraordinarily precise; they are accurate to a meter," he said.
Lt. Col. Rodger Lemons, the commander of Task Force 1-66 in Arghandab, told the Times that insurgent attacks had fallen from 50 a week in August to 15 a week in October, although the colder weather may be playing a part.
Lemons said he felt Taliban militants were losing heart. "A lot are getting killed," he told the Times. "They are not receiving support from the local population, they are complaining that the local people are not burying their dead, and they are saying: 'We are losing so many we want to go back home.'"

A Taliban fighter who spoke to the Times by telephone on condition that he would not be named, said the insurgents had pulled back but would try to return later.
"We are not there anymore, we are not preparing to fight a big battle, but we are waiting," he said. "We are waiting until this force has been exhausted and has done all they are supposed to do, and later on our fighters will re-enter the area."
However, a senior Afghan police officer was jubilant.
"We broke their neck," Hajji Niaz Muhammad, the police chief in the Arghandab District, told the Times. "There is no doubt they are very weak in this area now."
However, the coalition's experience in the former Taliban stronghold of Marjah offers a cautionary tale.
The southern Afghan town was seized from the Taliban eight months ago, but coalition forces are still trying to clear the town.
Years of Taliban control may have ended in Marjah, but the Taliban never left — they simply went underground, blending in among civilians, taking advantage of the region's terrain of agricultural fields and irrigation trenches to stage daily ambushes of American patrols.
The Marines have found bloody clothes and spent bullet casings and bombs meant to kill them. They've heard bullets flying overhead and seen muzzle flashes in tree lines. But finding insurgents is another story altogether.
"The only time we see them is when we're in contact" in a gunfight, Cpl. Chuck Martin, 24, of Middletown, R.I, was quoted by The Associated Press in an article Tuesday.
The Associated Press and NBC News contributed to this report.

The unidentified agent allegedly sent shirtless photos of himself to Jill Kelley, a Florida woman who asked him for help after she received threatening emails accusing her of flirting with Petraeus, the Wall Street Journal said.
The agent was pulled off the case over the summer and is now under investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's internal affairs unit, the newspaper said.
FBI investigators discovered that the harassing emails received by Mrs Kelley were found to have been sent by Paula Broadwell, a former army officer and biographer of Petraeus who had had an extramarital affair with him.
Mrs Broadwell was apparently suspicious of Mrs Kelley's friendship with Petraeus, and suspected that the Tampa woman - a Petraeus family friend - has amorous intentions towards the retired four-star general.
The explosive sex scandal led to the CIA chief's resignation on Friday, shocking the Washington establishment and raising questions about how and why the FBI kept the investigation under wraps for months.
The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed FBI officials as saying supervisors became concerned that the initial agent approached by Mrs Kelley was "obsessed" with the matter, and discovered the emails of shirtless photos of himself.
After being barred from working on the case, the agent approached a US lawmaker, Republican David Reichert of Washington state, expressing fears that the matter would be covered up.
That information was relayed back to FBI headquarters via congressional leaders, the report said.

Always one to make us look beyond the fabric and into deeper meaning behind what we wear, Vivienne Tam challenges us with her Fall/Winter 2013 collection not to revolt but rather to "[evolve] to transcend politics and ideologies and move toward a…common good". It's a heavy subject to tackle with a clothing collection, but Vivienne Tam has a way of showing us that there are no limits in fashion and placing heavy context on a piece of clothing is okay. Her inspiration came from both the punk movement and Pop Art, which led to a collection that is not for the faint of heart. By viewing a single look, you know that Vivienne Tam means business, and encourages us to look beyond the clothing. But looking past the clothing is very difficult to do, as the garments- without all of the context- have such strength and dimension that they force you to take a closer look.
Vivienne Tam used black, white and red predominantly with pops of electric blue that has the suggestion of Mondrian's color palettes in his work from the 1930's and 40's. She also used "graffiti prints of Mao's writings and other mantras" on the sleeves, backs, skirts and bodices of many of her garments, taking her punk inspiration and running with it. With a collection that is revolutionary both in theme and in design, what one comes away with after viewing it is the idea that sometimes fashion is more than just what we wear. It represents who we are, where we're from and what we aspire for.
Theme: Vivienne Tam's F/W 2013 collection is about "cultural dialoque, change and awakenings", and taking her Pop Art and punk movement inspirations, she has created set of looks from jumpsuits to trench coats that is a symbol for the times and for our need as a people to move forward in hopes of being more unified; that we can "transcend politics and ideologies".
Elements: Breaking down the looks, the elements that stood out the most were leather tartan panels, mesh mantra graffiti and wide sleeve cuffs.
Beauty: Pencil-thin cat eyes with a black lip and faux bangs made with twisted-up ponytails.
Stand-outs: Black utilitarian jumpsuit, turtleneck and military-inspired pants with mantra graffiti head to toe, and a black zipped trench coat with a plaid panel.

Descendants of Crom: Penance to Headline; Solace, Karma to Burn, The Midnight Ghost Train and More Added to Lineup
Lineup additions have continued to come out over the last week-plus since Pittsburgh-based fest Descendants of Crom made its first announcements with the formidable likes of Earthride, EYE, Foghound and Stinking Lizaveta taking part. West Virginian instrumental trailblazers Karma to Burn, New Jersey rock destroyers Solace, Kansas boogie-thrusters The Midnight Ghost Train — as the names have appeared, the geographic reach of Descendants of Crom 2017, which is set for Sept. 30 on the Cattivo Nightclub's two stages, has only expanded, but perhaps the biggest addition yet brings the festival much closer to home.
Penance released their Alpha and Omega album in 2001 via the Martyr Music Group, and with it debuted a five-piece incarnation that will play for the first time in 15 years at Descendants of Crom, in a great add to the bill that fulfills the stated mission of the fest in honoring Pittsburgh's own underground contributions as well as looking outside its borders. Badass all around.
In addition to the already-noted, Cant, Ol' Time Moonshine and Archarus, have also been added, so the more right on. Here's the latest from the fest, including some comment from organizer Shy Kennedy on Penance signing on:
DESCENDANTS OF CROM – Penance to Headline with 'Alpha & Omega' Lineup
All-day fest set for Sept. 30, 2017, with two stages fueled by riffs created by the riddle of steel.
This all day music festival is the first of its kind in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The underground scene of stoner and doom here is healthy and thriving and the location at Cattivo Nightclub is perfect with two large floors, a stage on each, and good sound with friendly staff.
Descendants of Crom Festival lineup:
PENANCE (Alpha & Omega lineup)
Shy Kennedy on Penance headlining:
It all starts out with an idea of, 'Hey, wouldn't it be great if there were a gig in Pittsburgh that had a bunch of riff-fueled bands of all rock and metal genres?' It's the perfect place for it, really. The scene here is supportive and it's an accessible city to many. It doesn't come out of nowhere –- you have to make it happen.
Next, who headlines this underground, doom-rooted event? The answer would be Penance but they've been dormant for some time. The Alpha & Omega lineup are all right here and nearly all active in the scene someway or another. Turns out that you just have to ask. Penance are as excited to be a part of the Descendants of Crom as I am. A lot of the seasoned fans are going to appreciate this and for those who aren't familiar with Penance are going to get a little lesson in Pittsburgh Doom History.
DESCENDANTS OF CROM will bring great regional talent to a hungry crowd, utilizing national fan favorites to lure them to learn about these other amazing artists. This first year is anticipated to be a contender among other established annual fests and will not be an event to miss.
Penance, "Wizards of Mind"

Only 1 un-succesful moose hunter in 8 years (98% success rate)
A truly remote moose hunting experience.
High Quality Hunts With: Exclusive Area, Large Animals, Professional Guides, Home Cooked Meals, Beautiful Country.
Our Alaska guided moose hunting trips is especially good because of our very limited harvest and the geographic location of the area. Guided moose hunting Alaska come from the flats where they have spent their summer and go up into the high country to rut. We hunt the passes on the edge of the high country and catch the bulls as they travel through.
The guided moose hunts offered by Wrangell Outfitters are targeted toward the sportsman who wants a very classic and exclusive experience. The hunting area that we use is an exclusive federal Concession within the Wrangell, St. Elias National Park Preserve. Wrangell Outfitters is the only company that can contract hunts for this area. Horses are used to access the distant corners of the hunting area and help to create the nostalgic feel of the classic Alaskan Safari.
Attention to detail results in excellent staff, equipment, and meals. Our horn size is consistently larger than the Alaskan average. Hunts are run on a 1 guide to 1 hunter ratio unless otherwise desired.
Some of the normal questions we get asked include:
Only 1 un-succesful moose hunter in 8 years (98% success rate)
Just 2-5 moose hunters taken per year.
Alpine hunting offering great visibility.
500+ square mile exclusive hunting in Wrangell St. Elias National Park Preserve.

It's a weekday morning, so that means that Donald Trump is tweeting about how actually, he did very good in the election—stop saying he didn't!—and would have done even better if we had a different system.
OK! Trump takes office in 30 days, but he's spent a hefty chunk of his transition re-litigating the election, and he's spent most of that time hitting pundits for rightfully pointing out that he lost the popular vote by more than two million votes. Trump and his team have consistently patted themselves on the back for shooting the Electoral College moon—winning Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Michigan. But, no matter how many times they say it, they did not win a "landslide." Trump's Electoral College total ranks 46th out of 58 elections—mediocre at best.
Trump does not seem to be a fan of the Electoral College. Back in 2012, he sent out this tweet after Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney:
Of course, Trump tweeted this when he thought Romney had won the popular vote (he hadn't) and the simplest explanation for any Trump action is that it is immediately self-serving and not necessarily reflective of anything else. But Trump is also clearly annoyed by claims that his presidency is illegitimate and has repeatedly said that he would have won the popular vote if the system was different.
There should have been Electoral College reform after Al Gore lost the presidency but won the popular vote in 2000. There wasn't. And there probably won't be now, for a host of reasons. (Reform efforts have never found much success, in part because it is very complicated. Perhaps most importantly, it's never been seen as a very good way to expend political capital by members of Congress.) If a Democratic president did it with a Democratic Congress, every member of the Republican Party would label it tyranny. But members of Congress uniting with a president who won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote would be unprecedented—it might be the only way for such an effort to succeed. It might be the only bipartisan effort of Trump's presidency, especially if Democrats fight his disastrous infrastructure plan. They probably won't, but, at the very least, pressing Trump on the Electoral College would very much get under his skin. It might be worth it just for that.

At last Lytro have unveiled their Light Field Camera - https://www.lytro.com/camera).
This is the camera that lets you focus your shot after you've taken it. They've picked an unusual design which will make it very recognisable. It's also surprisingly pocketable and affordable. It also seems to shoot square images - which should make it fun to compose shots with.
Two models are available at launch, an 8Gb that holds 350 pictures and 16Gb that holds 750. Not sure how the maths work there. Apparently the second 8Gb can hold slightly more than the first. Anyway, the big bummer for me is that it's not available outside the United States so I guess I won't be getting my hands on one quite yet.
It's available in 3 colours, red, blue and grey. Customers who signed up to reserve one will get theirs in early 2012 and at first you'll need to be using a Mac if you want to run the Lytro software. A Windows version is coming in 2012.

Shang Salcedo Place - LOCATION
Shang Salcedo Place is situated at the heart of Makati CBD. This residence is nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Salcedo Village bounded byu Ayala Avenue, Buendia Road, or Paseo de Roxas roads. These roads lead to other main thoroughfares such as EDSA, making the condominium accessible from all points. So on foot or by car, reaching this haven is always a welcome activity after a long day at work.
Makati Central Business District (CBD) is one of the best places in Metro Manila. Because of its prime location, Shang Salcedo Place has access to comfort and conveniences that Makati has to offer. Business establishments are nearby, as well as academic institutions such as Ateneo Graduate School and FEU-Makati. Just across Ayala is the Makati Medical Center. Restaurants, cafes and bars surround the premises. Shopping is always a pleasure with Glorietta and Greenbelt malls lying just a few blocks away.
Makati is one of the Philippines busiest business areas but is also surrounded by many other CBDs which require a growing workforce of young professionals. With the population of the city multiplying three fold during the working day, it means that two thirds of that workforce has to battle a busy commute to work each and every day, sometimes from many miles away. The one third which is fortunate enough to live as well as work in Makati are able to enjoy several hours more relaxation per day than the others and are already less stressed due to a short commute, sometimes within walking distance.
The residents of Shang Salcedo Place will count among those that are less stressed and have more leisure time but to add to that is the fact that all other facilities they may need are also close to the residential building, many within less than a kilometer and those include:
- Jazz Mall - 0.29 km
- Tambunting - 0.30 km
- King of Travel - 0.31 km
- Biomedica - 0.36 km
- Shelter - 0.36 km
There are in all 184 different restaurants within a 1km radius of Shang Salcedo Place, some of the more popular ones being:
- Malcolms - 0.09 km
- Heavens Barbeque - 0.16 km
- Happy Cream Puff - 0.18 km
- Chocolate Fire - 0.18 km
- Stoops - 0.19 km
Education is very important and there are 11 schools within 1km of Shang Salcedo Place and they include:
- Spurgeon School Foundation - 0.08 km
- Lyceum of the Philippines College of Law - 0.14 km
- Ateneo Professional Schools - 0.16 km
- Mapua IT Center - 0.16 km
- Apple Seed Montessori - 0.34 km
In case of emergencies it is always good to know that there is professional help nearby and within a 1km radius of Shang Salcedo Place there are 8 medical facilities including:
- Supercare Medical Services Incorporated Makati Branch - 0.18 km
- FortMED Medical Clinic - 0.28 km
- Barangay BelAir Health Office - 0.31 km
- Caraderme - 0.63 km
- Makati Medical Center - 0.63 km
The diversity of cultures that big business attracts means that the professionals may be of various religions and the variety of religious facilities, 7 in all, around Shang Salcedo Place identifies and caters to those diversities including among them:
- Beit Yaacov Synagogue – 0.44kms
- Saint George Creek Orthodox Chapel – 0.49kms
- International Baptist Church of Manila – 0.07kms
Of course though, with Makati being in the heart of the Metro Manila Region, nothing that the great metropolis has to offer is far from Shang Salcedo Place including Manila's International Airport. The Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila's largest airport with flights to cities throughout South East Asia and the World, is only a 20 minute drive away.
Although all these facilities are within easy reach for Shang Salcedo Place residents, the developers wanted that most should not have to leave the luxury of their building and surrounds for many of the popular amenities associated with a luxurious and relaxing lifestyle, and so they included most of those amenities into the residential project.

How to Clean Your Kitchen Surfaces
Kitchen surfaces serve as worktops and need regular cleaning. Hopefully, your kitchen worktops (countertops) and units are the ultimate in hard-wearing, able to withstand strong and effective cleaning.
But you can't guarantee it for a fact. Many kitchens are designed to look wonderful but their ability to withstand a good cleaning is way down on the list.
If you can't identify a surface, err with caution and avoid bleach. This means checking all bottles of multi-surface cleaner, as many include bleach as an ingredient.
For sheer speed, it can be tempting to zap the same product on every surface in the room, but only surfaces that come into direct contact with food need antibacterial protection. A standard multi-purpose spray, which is cheaper and may have more stain-shifting power, is the better choice for other areas.
The worktops that you prepare and perhaps eat your food on need to be kept as hygienically clean as possible. Be sure to choose an antibacterial cleaner, rather than a simple antibacterial spray. Sprays are designed to disinfect freshly cleaned surfaces. Using them on small areas such as telephone key pads or toilet handles is fine, but why make twice the work for yourself in the kitchen, when you're covering large areas.
|Cleaning Method
|Use an antibacterial spray cleaner. Dry thoroughly.
|Use an antibacterial spray cleaner. Dry thoroughly.
|Wipe with a soapy (sudsy) solution from a bowl of mild
washing-up liquid – the kindest ones for marble work surfaces
are those sold as being kind to your hands! Rinse it away
completely. Detergent residue dulls marble. Avoid acidic cleaners
as they eat into the surface.
|Use a multi-purpose spray or microfibre cloth.
|Sealed wood
|Use a very dilute bleach solution of 20ml (1–1/2
tablespoons) of bleach in 5 litres (1 gallon) of water on stubborn
grime, working quickly so as not to let the bleach change the
colour of the wood.
It's easy to neglect cupboard and drawer fronts during your regular cleaning session. Yet frequent attention makes your kitchen look smart and inviting.
|Cleaning Method
|High-shine resin
|Use only soft cloths that won't scratch. Wipe to remove
dirt before getting at stains with a dab of washing-up
(dishwashing) liquid.
|Use a non-abrasive multi-surface cleaner, taking care not to
let any drips dry hard.
|Sealed wood and veneers
|Dilute 30ml (2 tablespoons) of a soap-based wood cleaner in 5
litres (1 gallon) of lukewarm water and wipe the entire surface,
then buff with a soft cloth. There's no need to rinse. Polish
occasionally with a light liquid wax if you like a shiny
|Unsealed wood
|Unsealed wood is not a good choice in the kitchen. The wood
darkens as it ages no matter how often you dust it. If you use
water to clean it, the wood may warp. The best advice is to
preserve unsealed wood's good looks and colour by sealing it
with a light varnish.

Bayer Leverkusen are in talks with Tottenham over sale of striker Son Heung-min
Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller says his club are trying to reach an agreement with Tottenham over the sale of striker Son Heung-min.
Spurs have been pursuing West Brom striker Saido Berahino but with their bids failing to persuade Albion to allow their man to leave, Son has emerged as another target.
The 23 -year-old South Korean - who scored 17 goals last season - was left out of his side's Champions League qualifier with Lazio on Wednesday due to illness, but Voller says a move could be in the offing.
"There is a request and there are talks. But nothing is done. Son would not have played today anyway, he was sick at the weekend already. At this moment he is our player," he is quoted as telling Germany TV channel Sky.
"I saw many medicals in this business where there was no deal afterwards.
"We will try to reach an agreement, but only under our conditions."

Shakespeare's always up to something. Even in plays that feel written in haste, like All's Well That Ends Well, the Bard's twisting conventions and turning tables.
Most of Shakespeare's romantic comedies begin with an arranged marriage: the female having no say in choosing a husband. Her father decides and, as so often happens, loathes the man she loves in secret. But what if the golden slipper were on the other foot? What if the woman — Helena in All's Well — were free to choose her mate with the king's blessing? And what if her intended, rich young Bertram, flat refuses enforced wedlock? In All's Well, Shakespeare takes a social given of his times and dumps it on its ear.
An "unseasoned courtier," Bertram wants no truck with a "poor physician's daughter." And even though Helena has intelligence, looks, virtue — plus, she's nuts about him — he'd rather go to war than marry beneath his station.
What follows is one of the most intrepid quests in romantic literature. Drama's first female M.D., Helena heals the dying king with a miraculous 11th-hour cure (the "very hand of heaven," says Lafew, an old lord, who calls her "Doctor She"). Her reward? She wants Bertram. When he rejects her, Helena goes on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella, one of Europe's holiest shrines. To win Bertram's hand, if not his love, she devises a scheme so impossible that an oxymoron can't contain the contradictions: she will wear his ring and bear his child. When it comes to single-mindedness, Helena has few peers, aside from Grail seekers.
And for what? When we first see Bertram in the Old Globe's production, we see what Helena sees: Graham Hamilton makes him a square-shouldered, decent-enough guy. In the play's early, funereal scenes anticipating the king's death, Bertram stands out even more because he's got some spark. But the more we see of him — his lying, womanizing, rampant self-centeredness — the more he nosedives, and Kimberly Parker Green's pristine Helena, who sheds her glasses and ponytail, rises. It's as if they're riding Fortune's Wheel. The higher she ascends, the lower he plunges.
Still she persists, in what comes to look more like an obsession than love. You almost want to call time-out and interview the leads: "Helena, what can you possibly see in this dude?" "Bertram, what don't you see in her?" — or, as much to the point, "doth'nt she persist too much?" Over the years, audiences and critics have had a "problem" with this comedy, but I never have. It's much more lifelike than most of the happy-enders. How many relationships do you know, this minute, that you'd swear don't have a prayer? How many weddings have you attended where people whisper, "Give it six months" and are being optimistic? All may be well that ends well, but at the ending of All's Well, Helena and Bertram have only just begun.
At the Old Globe, director Darko Tresnjak relocates the play in late Victorian times, which allows Linda Cho to dress the cast in formal attire: civilians in cold charcoals, the soldiers in bright reds, blacks, blues, and gold braid. Tresnjak counters the stiff-upper-lip surface with bawdy undercurrents, including, in the scenes set in Florence, a frontal view of Michelangelo's Goliath-sized statue of David upstage —and, as t'were, upstaging all below.
Christopher R. Walker's always-useful background music announces the statue's arrival with Julius Fucik's rousing march, "The Florentine." And the looming, heroic figure also underscores Helena's idealization of Bertram (earlier she addresses a miniature version of David and calls it Bertram). It also shows that, as she says, she's more than just "religious in mine error."
Much of the fun comes from secondary roles: Jim Winker is excellent as the crotchety king of France ("wrapped in dismal thinkings"); Kandis Chappell, Charles Janasz, and Celeste Ciulla, as expected, do capable work in throwaway parts. And Bruce Turk is special as Parolles, the braggart soldier who, as his name implies, is all words. Bertram's cynical buddy betrays his friends and gives crucial military secrets to the enemy. (Parolles exists, one suspects, so Bertram won't seem so bad.) In the end, Parolles becomes both human and a threat — like Helena — to the male-dominated social order. Bertram, he assures the king, has acted the way "honorable gentlemen" do. "Tricks he hath had in him which gentlemen have." And Bertram loved a woman "as a gentleman loves a woman…. He loved her, and loved her not."
The king's concluding lines suggest equivocation: "All yet seems well [italics mine]; and if the end so meet,/ The bitter past, more welcome is the sweet."
In most romantic comedies where the male chases and the female flees, at some point she shows interest...and in the end has loved him all along. At the Old Globe, director Darko Tresnjak fudges a tad by having Bertram kiss Helena with boggled eyes early on, revealing a deep-seated attraction that isn't in the text. No matter: the ending, which includes the king getting re-rejuvenated, works for those who see the glass half-full, those who see it half-empty, and for those who ask, "What glass?"

It's a Heirloom Party and I'm sharing a special heirloom that stands in my living room. In my Grandpa's retirement he would spend time in a small shed/workshop in his backyard. He enjoyed working with wood and building things. He made many things , but for a few years he just made clocks. I am very lucky to own the largest clock he ever made and a Fiddle clock too.
Today I share Grandpa's Grandfather clock...He even painted the face. He signed each clock he made with a pretty stone to dot the 'i".
His name was John Hill.

On our way from Kampala to Arua we have stayed in Adjumani to find out how the situation is in the refugee camps here. And how IAS can get involved in assisting the people. The below film clip is from Nyumanzi Refugee Reception Center. Hundreds of people are still arriving to this camp every day from South Sudan. The situation is very difficult and the needs are great. In spite of the challenges we meet so many hopeful and happy children!

People who cannot tolerate wheat products are often highly sensitive to gluten which is found in wheat as well as other grains such as spelt, rye, oats and barley. Gluten is a protein derivative which gives bread that elastic spongy quality.
For these people, it is necessary to avoid these grains and the foods which contain them. The alternative is to eat gluten free breads which have a different texture and flavour.
We at Goanna Bakery have produced a range of these breads which we believe are flavoursome, light and highly enjoyable.
What is Spelt?
Spelt is known as an ancient grain with it's origins dating back several thousand years in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East and in Europe.
It was later replaced by newer, higher yielding and easier to grow varieties of wheat.
Spelt has remained popular in Europe, particularly Germany where it is known as Dinkel, and also in Italy where it is called Farro.
Spelt is experiencing a resurgence in its popularity due to its health benefits and superior flavour, particularly as more people are discovering and understanding their intolerances and allergic reactions to common wheat. It is generally found to be far more easily digestible than common wheat.
Nutritional Properties
The spelt grain has a tough outer husk which protects a soft, highly water soluble kernel.
It contains a high proportion of protein and also of cellulose, which stimulates proper functioning of the digestive tract and is important in the prevention of digestive problems including constipation and bowel cancers.
Comparatively higher levels of vitamins support good skin function, regulates metabolism and stimulates appetite and heart function.
Higher proportions of essential amino acids promote general positive feelings of wellbeing and the balancing of moods.
Spelt has been found by many people to a preferable alternative to common wheat, however it should be tested in small quantities if there is any doubt as to its suitability for particularly sensitive people.
A comparison of Spelt and Wheat is illustrated below:
Nutrient (%) Spelt Wheat
Protein 13.1% 11.6%
Carbohydrate 67.7 62.5
Fat 2.45 1.9
Minerals 1.75 1.6
Cellulose 8.8 1.8
Vitamin (mg/100g)
Thiamine 0.64 0.48
Riboflavin 0.22 0.14
Niacin 0.6 0.42
Amino Acid (mg/g fresh weight)
Phenylalanine 7.0 5.0

Cold Laser Therapy, offers a non-intrusive pain treatment option to acupuncture and surgery.Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) promotes healing for many conditions because its laser light beam penetrates the skin, increases energy and activates enzymes in targeted cells. It has been widely used in Europe for over thirty five years and has been the subject of numerous studies with over 3,500 scientific papers published worldwide.
Laser light has unique physical properties that ordinary light does not have. The unique properties of coherence and monochromaticity are the key to why laser light is so effective compared to other kinds of light in pain reduction and healing. This light can strengthen and heal damaged cells.
Using photochemical processes, laser light inserts bio-photons into damaged cells. The cells begin to produce energy (ATP), which improves their function, assists their division, strengthens the body's immune system, and causes the secretion of various hormones. This facilitates the healing of tissue and the relief of pain. If damaged cells have died, the bio-photons help the division of neighboring cells, generating new tissues, and thus bringing about healing.
Cold Laser treatments are painless and non-toxic with no reported side effects. As demand for alternative treatments increases, many beneficial physiological effects continue to be discovered with the application of Cold Laser Therapy.

The 10 Things You MUST Give Up If You Want To Be Happy. #7 Is Essential.
Sometimes we just have to give up. In society we are constantly told to never quit, but occasionally that may be the best solution. Marc and Angel Chernoff, personal development experts, are encouraging people to know that sometimes the healthiest and wisest decision to make is to recognize the things that need to be relinquished from our lives.
Marc and Angel have created a list of behaviors to discard for a better, happier you. You may be surprised that the things that may be nonessential in our thoughts are more damaging than we realize. Number #9 will really hit home for many.
#1. Give up pretending that you have to be who you used to be.
When times get tough, our worst battle is often between what we remember and what we presently feel. Thus, one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make is when to stay put and struggle harder or when to take your memories and move on. Sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been, and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you are capable of being, and the person you truly are today.
#2. Give up berating yourself for everything you aren't.
Being kind to yourself in thoughts, words and actions is as important as being kind to others. Extend yourself this courtesy. Love yourself – your real self. Work through your fears (dive deep), your insecurities (speak honestly and loudly), and your anger (scream into the pillow – not into the mirror, nor the people you care about; they don't deserve it.) Instead of hurting yourself by hiding from your problems, help yourself grow beyond them. That's what self-care is all about. It's about facing the inner issues that make you believe that you are less than you are. It's learning to see that you are already beautiful. Not because you're blind to your shortcomings, but because you know they have to be there to balance out your strengths.
#3. Give up regretting, and holding on to, what happened in the past.
When you stay stuck in regret of the life you think you should have had, you end up missing the beauty of what you do have. Not all the puzzle pieces of life will seem to fit together at first, but in time you'll realize they do, perfectly. So thank the things that didn't work out, because they just made room for the things that will. And thank the ones who walked away from you, because they just made room for the ones who won't. As they say, every new beginning comes from another beginning's end.
#4. Give up getting caught up in the negativity surrounding you.
To be positive in negative times is not just foolish optimism. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of tragedy, but also of success, sacrifice, courage, kindness, and growth. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine how well we live. If we look only for the worst, it destroys our capacity to do our best work. If we remember those times and places – and there are many – in which people have behaved magnificently, and things have gone well, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to sit around and wait for some grandiose and perfect future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live right now as we think we should live, in defiance of all the negativity around us, is in itself an amazing victory.

Location: G/F, Greenbelt 1, Greenbelt Drive, Ayala Center, Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines
My husband and I were accompanied by three relatives when we were in the Greenbelt area for early Christmas shopping. It was the middle of the afternoon when we all became hungry and they agreed to join me in a sentimental Pinoy merienda (snack) at Via Mare in Greenbelt 1 which was one of my favorite casual dining Filipino restaurants when I was single.
facade – Via Mare, Greenbelt 1, Makati City
Now, dearest Senior Citizens (SCs), you might ask, why there, Tita S? There is one at Greenbelt 3 and it is newer. I know that, SCs, but this Greenbelt 1 branch is so memorable for me before I got married. Anyway, indulge me, please, ok?
This outlet is open from 8 am till 9:30 pm (M-F), 9 am till 9:30 pm (Sat.-Sun.), and 10 am till 10 pm (during holidays). It is located at the ground floor of Greenbelt 1, opposite National Book Store, my favorite bookstore. Via Mare's facade and interiors still looked the same and the diners were mostly families or seniors, alone or with a companion.
I can't help but think that the other seniors also eat there not only for the yummy dishes but recall delightful memories of dining there for years/decades as well. For me, it was way back 1990s.
This outlet offers breakfast, a wide selection of Filipino merienda treats and kakanin (native Filipino rice cakes served mostly for snacks), as well as different soups, main dishes, oyster specialties, vegetables and rice for lunch/dinner.
I was feeling nostalgic when I got hold of the menu and I wanted to order lots of native merienda (snack) treats but stopped myself because of eating out too much when I go to Metro Manila.
We ordered only four kinds of merienda items First was BIBINGKA VSP (175 pesos), meaning this traditional Filipino rice cake was very special because it had all the toppings possible. It was served warm and soft and its flavor was enhanced by the yummy toppings (butter, cheese and salted egg), accompanied by freshly grated coconut and sugar.
PUTO BUMBONG, with two pieces per order, served with muscavado sugar (partially refined sugar with a strong molasses content and flavor), quezo de bola (Edam cheese) and freshly grated coconut (106 pesos), was also ordered. It looked so delicious and we even ordered additional queso de bola for a more delightful combination.
The PALITAW (a traditional, sweet, sticky Filipino rice cake), with three pieces per (55 peso) order and a generous topping of freshly grated coconut, sugar and linga (sesame seeds), was served next. It is definitely a MUST TRY, dearest Seniors! This boiled, flattened, small, rectangular, Filipino rice cake was so delicately soft, contrasted by the texture of the freshly grated coconut mixed with sugar and linga. We had to ask for an additional order because we couldn't have enough of this native delicacy.
DINUGUAN AT PUTO (205 pesos), another Filipino favorite, was a satisfying, thick, savory pork-blood stew with pork offals and meat, complemented by the small white putos (traditional, round, soft, Filipino steamed rice cakes).
Bottomline, we enjoyed all our orders but rave about the palitaw! My younger companions learned to appreciate these Filipino treats while I reminisced good times in this restaurant with every bite I took. Happy tummies! Happy memories! Happy meee! Happy weee! We will surely go back for more, perhaps for lunch or dinner!

know I may lose followers, readers and even friends over this article, but that's OK. As Jeremiah so concisely stated, "But if I say, 'I will not make mention of Him nor speak any more in His name,' then His word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I was weary of forbearing it, and I could not endure it" (Jer. 20:9).
Here it goes:
Benny Hinn prophesied on New Year's Eve 1989 that a woman would one day be president of America and would destroy this nation. It seemed like a far-fetched prophecy then, but not so much anymore.
How could so many conservatives and Christians vote against Ted Cruz?
How could so many conservatives vote against our constitution and against principle?

Photos - no pics of my team, but you can get a sense of the event and the companies that were represented.
And, because so many of you asked where I actually slept, check out the following (that's 10th Ave. right above us, and 41st Street to the right).
This is a little more than half the group.
If it seems surreal, that's because it was.

It Works
I needed a power brick to replace a lost one, placed my order and had it two days later. The laptop is back up and running.
I bought a Dell XPS 15 at an estate sale for $30.00 because it had no power adapter and would not turn on(what a deal!). So I didn't want to spend a lot to get it turned up. 29.95 plus tax and freight was within my budget and the adapter was all I needed to turn a dead laptop into a screaming machine. Thanks Discount Electronics!!
I bought a refurbished Dell Docking Station & needed this 135 Watt A/C Adapter. I was originally sent a laptop battery instead of the Adapter, but when I contacted Discount Electronics, Glenn took care of it right away and I rec'd. the Adapter a few days later (snail mail). So far, so good, both parts work well - the Adapter actually looks brand new. Good prices, good customer service.
This AC adapter works for my Dell XPS 15 (L502X) laptop. The battery is charging to 100%. Thanks.
Arrived on time and works. Charges the Dell battery like gangbusters and no more messages about the charger being-under sized!
It Works perfectly.
The price was great and the turnaround time was amazing.
I ordered the adapter on 8/3/15, it arrived on 8/6/15.
Thank you DE!
Dell laptops are fairly "picky" about their chargers. This one works perfectly on my laptop. Great price and service!
Just like brand new. would buy again.
Just the replacement needed at an affordable price

Event ID 1004 — DHCP Database Integrity
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Database integrity refers to the ability of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) database to function properly, maintaining an uncorrupted state.
Event Details
|Windows Operating System
|Symbolic Name:
|The DHCP service failed to initialize the database. The following error occurred:
Repair database and restore from a known good backup
If the DHCP server database becomes corrupted or is lost, recovery is possible by replacing the server database file (Dhcp.mdb), located in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp folder, with a backup copy of the same file.
If DHCP Manager was used previously to perform a backup, you can obtain the backup copy of the server database file located in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp\Backup folder. You can also restore the Dhcp.mdb file from a tape backup or other backup media.
To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To restore a backup copy of the DHCP database:
- Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
- Type net stop dhcpserver, and then press ENTER.
- Type md c:\olddhcp, and then press ENTER.
- Type move %SystemRoot%\system32\DHCP\*.* c:\olddhcp, and then press ENTER.
- Type del %SystemRoot%\system32\DHCP\Dhcp.md, and then press ENTER.
- Type copy%SystemRoot%\system32\dhcp\backup\jet\new\dhcp.mdb%SystemRoot%\system32\dhcp\dhcp.mdb, and then press ENTER.
- Type net start dhcpserver, and then press ENTER.
Confirm that the server starts successfully and without errors.
