St. Patty's Day - Saturday, March 17th (JRS)
We celebrated St. Patty's day today.Lynette and I started the night playing cards, which we haven't done since station closing. We were in the galley, which slowly became the place to be as people trickled in throughout the evening. Before long, the Irish Car Bombs were running rampant. For those not familiar, it's a pint of Guinness, into which you drop a shot of half Irish Whiskey, half Irish Cream, which you slam. Slamming a pint of Guinness is a bit like eating a loaf of bread in 15 seconds. The Car Bombs are kind of a sneaker drink, and I ended up drinking about one more than I should have. Nothing bad happened, thanks to Lynette shoving water into my hand the rest of the night, but I didn't feel great the next morning. I did have a good time, though, and people had a good time messing with me.

Hi everyone!
This summer sure is flying by, isn't it? If you follow me on Instagram (and ya totally should! My social media links are at the bottom of this post) you know that I have seen fall decor out on store shelves! Have you seen this yet? How are you feeling about fall being around the corner?
For those of you who don't know – I recently moved to Nova Scotia, which is where I am originally from. Nova Scotia (and the maritimes in general) have so many great small decor businesses! There are also many "hole-in-the-wall" stores for those who love unique vintage finds. As part of the changes that are occurring with Nest of Bliss, I want to start shedding some light on the great places this province has to offer!
I was recently out in New Minas with my best friend Sam, who took me to an adorable little store called Anatolia. This place was just my style and really spoke to me. I had actually been to this store as a child when it was then called 'The Jelly Cupboard'. Back in the day it sold older country style decor (that was just up my mother's alley at the time) – but now this store has a new name & style that I absolutely love!
The overall feel of Anatolia is very coastal. Inside this incredibly beautiful store, seaside and nautical influence flow throughout. Your eye doesn't seem to want to rest! Every corner is filled with beautiful things.
Looking for the perfect detail? Unique door knockers, knobs, and hooks are the perfect finishing touch for any lover of the sea. Pictured above is a sweet anchor door knocker that I just fell in love with!
The store sells a wide variety from home decor, dishes, clothing, jewelry, and much more! Pictured here are simple, classic dishes that never seem to go out of style.
If bold is more your style, pops of colour are easily spotted!
The jewelry here is simply stunning and not quite like anything I've seen in retail. A simple understated outfit with the addition with a statement necklace or earrings will take your outfit to the next level. 😉 Perfect for a mid-day transition.
The folk at Anatolia loves the coastal life in Nova Scotia and believes that east coast living should be reflected in the presentation of our homes – I couldn't agree more!
If you want to pay Anatolia a visit, below is the address & contact information! You can also find them on Facebook!

Before we introduction of titanium jewelry, we need to introduce titanium. Only first understand its main component, in order to better know what kind of advantage.
Titanium is a very special metal texture is very light, but very tough and resistant to corrosion, it is not like the silver will turn black, at room temperature for life to maintain itself hue. The melting point of titanium and platinum microstructure similar, so commonly used in aerospace, military precision parts. Coupled with its current and chemical treatment, will produce different colors. Because of these characteristics of titanium, its unique high polished silver tone either, silk, Matt have good performance, is the most appropriate jewelry metal other than the noble metals platinum, gold. Often used in many countries in modern jewelry design, it is the internationally popular jewelry timber.
However, due to the high technical requirements for processing of titanium, with ordinary equipment it is difficult to cast molding, using ordinary tools and very difficult to weld it up, it is difficult to form a production scale. Thus, in the jewelry market is difficult to see traces of it.
Therefore, currently there are many called titanium steel jewelry, the material used is not titanium, stainless steel, titanium steel is called attractive. Some even called titanium jewelry, in fact, contain titanium stainless steel jewelry.
The most common material is referred to titanium steel is 316L stainless steel jewelry, also known as titanium 316L international standards. In fact, 316L is a stainless steel number, is based on the 316 stainless steel continue to reduce the carbon content obtained than is generally more expensive stainless steel, corrosion resistance is strong, suitable for contact with the skin of jewelry, the main component is Fe, Cr, Ni, Mo, which no titanium component.
But its long almost no distortion, no discoloration. In common in stainless steel, is called "titanium steel" 316L steel is the most suitable for jewelry.
For information on titanium described above, let us know better, titanium jewelry features.

Veteran Telugu superstar Nagarjuna and Tamil star Karthi are coming together for a bilingual romantic film that will made in Telugu and also Tamil. Young Telugu star NTR jr. was initially offered Karthi's role but things eventually did not work out with him. Telugu film maker Vamshi Paidipally will direct the film. His previous works include- Brindavanam and 'Yevedu'. The pre-production work of the film has been completed and the film is most likely to go to the floors in November. Reports suggest that makers are waiting for Karthi to confirm his dates. Once he becomes available, work will begin in full swing.
Rajeev Kamineni, one of the backers of the project has told the media that they were looking for two lead actors who are well known in both Telugu and Tamil industries. Nagarjuan has done only a handful of films in Tamil but he is known by the Tamil audience. On the other hand, Karthi's films have doing well recently in the regions of Andhra Pradesh and Telengana, including his latest release 'Madras'. As a result, these two were chosen. Kamineni also revealed that there is one female lead role in the film. The makers are looking for a top tier actress for the role. Rest of the cast are yet to be finalized.

Update on USB Devices
So, when I was writing WFA 2/e, I did some testing and found that when connecting a USB removable storage device to a system, beneath the unique instance ID key (under the DeviceClasses key), a Control subkey was created, and when the device was disconnected, the Control subkey was deleted. The creation/deletion of this subkey constitutes a modification to the unique instance ID key, updating the key's LastWrite time and allowing us to track the usage of the device.
However, there appear to have been changes to this functionality since then, and Rob's more expansive testing has confirmed my own. Essentially, if you sit down to a running system (XP SP2 or 3, Vista, Windows 7), and plug in a USB removable storage device (even one that's been previously connected to that system), you'll see the Control subkey created...but when you disconnect the device, the Control subkey will remain until the system is rebooted. Rob has confirmed that this LastWrite time survives logins, as well.
So, now the LastWrite time on the unique instance key refers to the time that the device was last connected to the system, which is an important distinction to make when performing analysis of the usage of these devices. This requires further testing for more complete confirmation, but this is how things appear at this time. Shout outs to Rob Lee for the testing on this!
2 comments:
Maybe you should put an errata on page 209 of your WFA/2 book..:-) Kudos to Rob and thanks for sharing the info.
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – How much does it cost you to run your microwave? How about the washing machine? What about the lights in your bedroom?
Technology is now stepping in to answer all those questions and maybe save you some money.
There are two ways of looking at this and both are green.
The more you know about consumption of energy in your home, the more you can conserve. The more you conserve, the more you can save.
In KDKA-TV's experiment, we used a device called an Envi Real Time Energy Monitor.
"If you are immediately seeing how much it's costing you, I think you'll think twice about leaving the room with the lights on," Joe Jacobs from King Electric said.
With permission, Jacobs installed the monitor in the home of Kim and Sandy Dallow and Trevor Kyle.
"It makes you very cognizant of how much power a lot of your utilities use," Kim Dallow said.
Suddenly gone were the wonderfully oblivious days of turn it on and leave it on.
After the device was installed, Trevor Kyle said the experience was eye-opening.
"Naturally, we've looked at it when the dishwasher's running, when the microwave is running," Dallow said.
"We would [have] never known that the toaster oven takes so much energy like a half a kilowatt" Kyle said.
"You just see that little dial go from 850 to 1.5 kilowatts that like you just doubled your usage, Sandy Dallow said.
In fact, we did our own microwave experiment and watched the usage rise, instantly and dramatically.
"It has just made me aware of how much energy we can waste and how much we can save if we just turn a few switches off and on," Sandy Dallow said.
The Envi not only shows the power usage, but we programmed in the family's current electric rate, so it shows the consumption in dollars and cents.
The Envi has also changed the family's attitude on chandeliers.
"There's five 75 watt light bulbs in there and you come in here and turn on the light to read the paper or something like that and that burns up a lot of energy as well, and I'm just saying I didn't know that before," Kim Dallow said.
Kyle said Envi's constant monitoring provided another revelation.
"There's so much use even during the night. I mean, all the things that are plugged in that take up energy like [televisions] even when they are turned off, they still take up energy, cell phone chargers," Kyle said.
Despite the dollars and cents readout, there is no real way to quantify dollars saved. However, this is more about the long-haul habits rather than the monthly bill.
"There are certain things that if you just pay attention to them, you can cut back and save a bit of money," Sandy Dallow said.
The Envi costs about $130. It is in the mainstream of prices for power monitors that range from about $100 and up.
Of course, the more you spend the more you'll have to save to cover the costs.
While the power savers might claim you can save 25 to 50 percent on your electric bill.
They are careful not to put a dollar figure on your savings for good reason. Ultimately, it comes down to how much you learn from a device like this and what changes you are willing to make to your electric consumption habits.

Long Overdue Race Report - Trifitness Triathlon
I'll start my transition back to blogging with a "quick" overview of my last race. It was on September 20th. It's now 2 minutes after midnight on December 4th. Yeah. I'm a little behind. The last triathlon was my best! I can't believe how well I did. The day before the triathlon I went to what's known as the Big E. The "Eastern States Exposition" is New England's biggest fair, and it just so happens to take place in my original hometown of West Springfield, MA. I had fried dough, ice cream, cotton candy... total junk food. I woke up race morning skeptical I'd do well and with the intent to finish the race as best I could. Somehow I managed to completely kick ass.
The swim felt like it took forever, but that's how I always feel. There was a crazy sand bar on the way out, halfway to the first buoy. Most of the swimmers got up and started running across it, myself included. By the time we were swimming back to the shore, I had had enough. I was looking for girls from my team and just trying to keep up.
The bike was mostly me in rage mode. I just kept going as fast as I could, determined to pass any female ahead of me. I swore a couple times at people riding to the left, and generally being in my way. I was not a fan of how many corners we had to round. There was a girl who looked to be in my age group that I kept "playing with" the entire bike. Passing her was tough, but once I did I didn't see her behind me. Then she'd come up from behind, seemingly out of nowhere and pass me. There was one stretch I thought I'd never catch up to her. The entire bike I was cursing her, quite literally. On the last bit of road before the end of the bike we were so close. She passed me in the end and I felt a bit defeated.
The run transition was my worst, I think. I can't even remember anymore. I do know that I looked down at my watch during the first mile to see a 7:20 pace. WTFBBQ?! I freaked out and tried my best to keep up the pace. Passed a few team members and then I saw the girl from the bike ahead of me. As I passed her I said "That was great on the bike!" "Oh yea! You too! You really kept me going!" she said. "Me too!" Aww, look at that, we were nice girls after all. Seriously, without her I wouldn't have been able to go as fast as I did. Soon after I passed her I got a running stitch from hell. I struggled to the second mile. (Honestly how DO you triathletes run half/full marathons after a bike without cramping?!?!) I pulled it together around 2.5 and tried as best as I could to keep a decent pace.
Nearing the end I saw my mom up ahead. I thought she came out to support me on my run. Later I found out her and my boyfriend were snagged to volunteer and direct people on the run. My mom warbled her affections and support at the top of her lungs. Soon I came upon my boyfriend who was taking pictures of me while shouting support and compliments. He's kind of amazing.
Crossed the finish line with a flourish, flashing the metal sign in my cheesy arms in the air pose that has become my standard finishing style. Milled around for a bit and ate a gigantic apple. Before the awards ceremony I checked the results board. My jaw dropped and I checked it again. I got second in my age group! I refused to believe it. My parents and boyfriend were congratulating me and I kept saying, "Well just wait til the awards!" I was convinced there was a mistake.
There hadn't been a mistake. I really got second in my age group. My "secret" goal all year was to finish in the top 10. My first race I was close, and the second race was a total disaster. I have never been so proud of myself, and admittedly I'm getting misty typing this. For once in my life I worked my ass off and I achieved a goal. Not only achieved it, but surpassed it. Yes, overall I wasn't anything remarkable, but for a beginner I'm pleased with doing well in my age group. I'm also happy to say that the girl ahead of me in the age group is from my team and is also covered in tattoos. A guy on the bike even mistook me for her.
Thanks to that girl on the bike, I even placed first in my age group for the bike! She ended up being in the age group below me and placed third, I think. I can't remember. So that's that. My last triathlon of 2009. Right now I'm dealing with hip issues and have been going to physical therapy. My runs have gone from an average of 5 miles to just trying to make it to 15 minutes. I hope to resolve the issue soon and get back to training. There's been a lot more that's happened these past few months, but I'll write about that another time. Hopefully before 2010 rolls around.
Promising my mom I won't punch any girls on the swim. (Honestly I have no idea what's going on here)

What a fabulous get-away!
What fabulous get-away! We enjoyed walks on the strand, sunsets and fantastic food within walking distance of this beach front oasis. The accomodations could not have been more perfect! We each had our own bedroom with onsuite bath. We could not have asked for a more perfect stay, the kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed to prepare meals, and light snacks. We enjoyed playing board games, movies and just catching up all while, gazing out to beautiful sunsets from the front deck. We will definitely be visiting again for years to come

The in canon tale of the daughter Rose never thought she could have. When my mother found me, fate seemed to link us together. Not only was I the daughter she never dreamed she'd have, I was unusually unappetizing for a human. However, being raised by vampires does not come without conflict. This is my tale about growing up Cullen and finding love in the most unexpected place. The world's largest coven is about to get a whole lot larger!
Sorrowfully, I do not own the Twilight saga or any of its characters. They belong to the glorious Stephenie Meyer. But Emmalie is MINE, as is the plot. :)
14. Compromises
Rating 4/5 Word Count 2643 Review this Chapter
After the hum of her engine had droned away, Ness rushed to the closet and put on her little skin-tight denim jacket. She had that joyous look on her angelic face.
"I'm going down to La Push. Jake and I will be back before dinner. Call me if Nana gives you any updates," she insisted, giving my cheek a tepid kiss, then running out before I could object. Shrugging, I turned to Leah who sat on the couch her ebony hair sticking up every which way. Leah just shook her head, struggling not to scoff at Ness's lovesick tendencies. I sighed and offered her a late breakfast.
Leisurely, I went about toasting some whole grain English muffins and whipping up some omelets from egg substitute. The whole time my mind was racing, disturbed by the events. I had never been without a least one of my family members at home. I felt kind of strange, naked almost. Leah allowed me my silence, staring apprehensively out the window at the forest's edge as she gulped down her food. Overcome with seclusion, I picked up my little phone and tried my Popeye's phone, my Mia's phone, even Alice's. No one answered.
Disheartened, I phoned Aunt Bella who answered, but sound very preoccupied. In the background, there was a continuous stream of painful screams that nearly muted all other audible noise. It was the screaming of someone in real agony, the kind of cry that makes you close your eyes and cringe inside.
"Em, honey, is everything OK," she asked pointedly. The feminine hysterics were coming to a screeching crescendo.
"Uhhh, Yes I..." but she cut me off in a crisp voice.
"Em, hun, we really have our hands full can I call you back," she asked pleasantly, despite her current predicament.
"Ummm…sure," I conceded sheepishly. While I had never met Kate, my heart hurt for her. She had lost so much, her mother, her sister, now a lover as well. It didn't seem fair.
I tossed my phone on the couch and growled both in frustration of Kate's misery and annoyance of being unable to reach anyone.
Leah did not seem to notice my distress, for she was intensely texting someone. I could only assume that she was informing her brother of the strange happenings going down "in the bloodsucker's lair". Seth had not spoken to me in weeks; he was trying to teach me his own lesson by giving me the cold shoulder. He thought my parents had failed in disciplining me so he assumed the role himself. It was that notion itself, which made me care less if we spoke again or not.
Heaving a sigh, I decided I would go upstairs and freshen up; a change of clothes and a hot shower.
"Le, I'm going to hop in the shower. You can order a pizza or something if you're still hungry; I'll pay. The TV is yours," I said tossing her the remote and turning to go up the stairs. She immediately ceased her manic texting phase, abandoned her phone on the granite counter and plopped down on our plush Italian leathered sofa.
I was a partially up the stairs, when the room reverberated with high pitch electronic beep. Startled, I jumped, then calmed, as my mind deciphered it for what it was: the intercom. It was sort of strange to have visitors. Charlie and Sue, Seth and Leah, remained to be our only regular guests. Sometimes Billy stopped by to see Jake who seemed to live here most the time, but that was it.
Silently, I went to the Fourier and looked at the monitor. One the screen there was a shiny black Lexus, the rain beading on its waxy coat and rolling off in glossy streams. The darken window rolled down to reveal Eleazar's pale face.
Blinking, I looked again, almost taken back by his presence here; after all my mother and aunts were at his place comforting his daughter. Shouldn't that be where he was as well?
"Hello," he called in his raspy voice, a voice that was undeniably his.
"Hi, Eleazar, Papa Car is out. In fact…everyone's out," I informed him speaking through the speaker in a clear voice. We had installed the system years ago when the electric gate was added. I had only used it on occasion; it was another one of those useless indulgent purchases that somehow eased the anxiety of certain angst-ridden family members.
"I know, I came on his behalf and on theirs," he amended, yelling to be heard over the beating rain. What? Why would he do that? Questions filtered through my head, but I opened the gate none the less.
Slipping on a pair of my favorite ballet flats, I went out to our wet front porch, Leah hissing violently in my ear the whole way.
"What in hell are you doing? You just let anyone in while you're home alone?" she barked bitterly, her harpy-like attitude showing its ugly head.
"Leah, don't be stupid. I'm not home alone. And Eleazar, well he's like family." Leah huffed angrily, obviously finding that argument invalid. "You know Kate's coven, he's their leader," I told her as I waved to the car, splashing through muddy puddles in fast approach.
I didn't know for sure what news he was bringing, but I was sure glad to be in the company of someone I knew. I continued to smile, but my spirit was somewhat thwarted when he emerged from the car alone; Carmen had not accompanied him on this trip I realized. In the blink of an eye, before I could wallow in any disappointment, he had joined Leah and I on the porch. We both hung back from the porches edge taking refuge from the almost wintry rain that was now pelting at a more invasive angle.
"Emmalie dear, time is short. We need to evacuate the house," he rashly explained grabbing my forearm. I resisted his icy grasp and pulled back toward Leah, who stood guardedly in the door way her eyes narrowed and critical.
"Why," I gasped in terror.
"Your uncles and father, even your grandfather have been put under arrest. The Volturi are coming. They even ransacked your grandfather's office to find him," he explained pulling me urgently to the car. I felt faint and my gut contorted painfully, as the icy drops doused my already goose-bumped flesh. Leah growled, jutting from her safe place out into the icy rain.
"Where's Nessie?" His voice was harsh, but I was still speechless, trapped in a distant nightmare. Leah came to my side, her sneer making Eleazar take a step back.
I could tell she was on the brink of shifting, when a handsome man got out of the car, pulling her attention away. His features were undeniably vampire, too beautiful to be anything else.
"Nessie's at La Push," I confided softly, chocking out the words while swallowing back bile. "Nana," I cried, realizing she could be in danger.
"She's just fine. Carmen is with her and they're heading to my house. We'll meet her there," he said his voice so convincing. I looked back to Leah, who while not intimidated by one, stepped back a safe distance from two bloodsucking strangers. Moisture pricked at the rims of my eyes and hopelessness set-in.
"Come child. We'll get Nessie on the way there. There no time to spare! Come," he beckoned sweetly shuffling me in the car. But before he could shut the door the handsome man spoke.
"That one must come too," he demanded pointing unswervingly to Leah. He spoke in such a way one could tell people rarely said no to him. Leah looked disgusted at the very suggestion, almost sickened. She was not planning on letting them take me, yet alone her. But Eleazar's engaging voice spoke before she could refuse.
"Yes, you too are in great danger. Let us take you to your land, there we'll pick up Reneseme," he called motioning for her to come. Leah just shook her head; her feet firmly grounded her eyes pleading silently with me.
"Leah, please I could not bear to live with myself if I left you here to face them alone. Come for my sake," I called frightened. She reluctantly came, getting in the car, her fiery blue eyes staring them down the whole time. She did not look at all happy about her being in a car with them, shifting in her seat unnervingly.
"I'll drive," stated the handsome stranger. He was tall my father's height and build, probably even his "age". His skin was faded olive with a chalky pallor and his hair thick almost an iridescent charcoal black. It hung in gentle waves that almost reached his broad shoulders. Eleazar must have noticed my eyes fixed on him because he spoke up as we sped out of the drive.
"This is Garrett," he said motioning to the man. I looked at him again. I had heard Bella's story repeatedly and could have sworn that the Garrett, whom I never met, was blonde and French. This man looked neither. "He escaped," Eleazar added when he noticed my unrelenting eyes carefully scanning this man who had just climbed into the driver's seat.
Ruber burned beneath us as we sped off at a high sped.
When we reached the end of the drive,instead of waiting for the gate to open, Garrett busted through as if he was playing Grand Theft Auto. I was thrown in my leather seat, only Leah's hard arm kept me from face-planting into the window shield.
"Are You CRAZY?" I screamed as he swerved onto the wet graveled road. Over my shoulder, my home disappeared behind the wall of protective pines. Nana sure wasn't going to be happy about the gate. Then again Nana may never come back here, I reasoned with myself.
"Put on your restraint harness human and be silent," he demanded in a tone that edged on evil dictator. Instead reprimanding Garrett on his ruthless tenor, Eleazar faced front: silent and without an explanation.
Leah growled at them then pulled on the handle to the door, but the child locks kept her from busting free. Even with super werewolf strength the well-made door would not budge. Meanwhile, our driver was pushing 90 on these small country roads, swerving around the tight bends undaunted. His disregard had my hands trembling, and my trust faltering.
We headed southward and then the winding road bended to the east and we flew across the narrow bridge over the partially flooded Calawah River. La Push road was coming up on the right. And Garrett was now going double the Forks speed limit. Oh where was Charlie when you needed him.
"You turn up here," I tried, directing him to La Push. He however did not seem to be slowing down.
"Right here," I informed pointing, yet again.
But we never turned.
We just merged on to North 101. I realized then that something was very wrong. I sat quietly, salty tears trailing down my flushed cheeks. Leah just scoffed at me, rolling her eyes then taking control.
"Where are you taking us bloodsucker?" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
He just laughed a heartless laugh. I looked at Eleazar with tear filled eyes, questions of betrayal silently spilling forth. But he offered no answers, simply looking out the window, shamefaced. I knew then that the man driving was not Garrett.
"I don't understand," I whispered in shock. Eleazar turned around.
"Emmalie there are times in life when you have to make compromises. One day you may understand. I simply could not hear Kate cry like that for all eternity, so I bargained for his life and her happiness. You may learn to forgive me but I'll never forgive myself. I truly am sorry my dear," he pleaded with me.
I felt the blood rush out of my face, out of my fingers. I would have fainted were it not for the new found rage that was fueling me. He had traded my life for Garrett's. It did not make since why would they want me? Leah? I noticed that the car stopped with a jolt and a boy on a bike was crossing the street, his father waited for him on the other side with an umbrella. They were so unaware, so oblivious. What was my family going to think when they came home and found me missing? Would Alice "see" this happing or would the presence of Leah blind her completely? A wave of loss came over me, a loss of my family, my home, and my friends. I was beyond helpless. Iced fingers tapped impatiently on the wheel adding to my rising anxiety. Leah however was not giving up without a fight. She pounded her hand on the glass, causing it to crack under sheer force.
Immediately, "Garrett's" handsome face turned around and snickered.
"Let's not be naughty ware. You do not want to anger me," he promised with a heinous snarl. But her hand beat the window again. Red eyes looked at us in query; he was overly annoyed and confused by her struggle. It was as if he could see how helpless we really were.
Visually I pictured my cell phone there on the desk-Leah's there counter. Neither of us could even call for help. I could only hope she was going to be able to mentally communicate with her pack at some point.
For a moment I was sure Leah was going to shift, but she did not. Not before the vampire turned swiftly in his seat and injected her with a drug of some kind. She slumped down lifeless in her seat. My chin began to tremble, but Elezar spoke quickly to comfort me.
"She's just asleep Emmalie. She is unharmed," he promised locking eyes with me assuredly. I nodded and tried to still my fluttering heart with forced breaths.
"Eleazar, just tell me one thing. Is my family safe? My Popeye, my Uncles they aren't under arrest are they?" I just need some comfort, a small piece of sanity to take with me to my grave.
"Yes, your family is fine; it was all a ruse Emmalie. They are all safe. You may trust me on that," he pledged seeing my desperation. It was strange that relief came from that small assurance but it did.
"And why me? What do they want with me?"
"Emmalie, Carlise and I both dwelled with the Volturi for a time. In that time, I was in Aro's debt. To pay off my dues I used my talent to pick out those that would be of use to him. I sorted though thousands of humans. I've not sought humans in that way since………….. You're the only thing I've stumbled upon since that has…..well… intrigued me."
"Aro's a collector of many things, human-one of them talents," added the ungodly-handsome-but-evil-one.
"But I have no talents. I'm mediocre in just about everything. And hopeless in others," I protested hoping they would change their mind. "I'm a lousy pianist. My penmanship is sloppy. Math takes me longer than most people. I make decent grades, nothing to brag about. My parents tell me I'm incurably insubordinate and at times careless. I can be really selfish and hard to live with…..I can dance but I always modify the choreography- other than that I'm pretty much a screw-up. Not to mention my short life expectancy. Why me?"
The handsome face scowled over his shoulder again in thought.
"Enough of the question and answer time, it is time for the human livestock to rest," he announced coldly. In a moments time a needle injected into my right arm, and I joined Leah slumped over and unmoving a ragdoll in someone else's games.

During my trading career I have come across many courses, mentors and guides, and here's my general experience. You can divide forex courses and mentoring into two main groups, the $97 100% money back guarantee type and the more expensive where you get a mentor and tools and a system to trade.
My Experience With The $97 Forex Course.
Well I must have spent hundreds, I'm quite savvy when it comes to purchases usually, but in the quest of seeking my fortune and making millions and millions of pounds it was a small price to pay for what could be ground breaking for my forex career. I tell you every single one of them is more or less just the same, you don't get much support if at all, but then again none is really promised. You will probably get a rather substantial PDF file consisting of around 100 pages, 200 if you are unlucky, these things take time to go through, I'd have a quick look through them first just see if I could identify that gem of information that will revolutionise my forex profits. Then after a quick scan I'd read them carefully, and after the first couple I realised there were so much similarity between them all, consisting of simple moving average systems or indicator based systems, with so much babble just to fill up the PDF file. Some would have nice modern chart diagrams, some were in grainy black and white, especially if it consisted of candlestick explanations, probably copied from an old source past it's copyright. The candlestick descriptions alone could easily fill up a quarter or even a third of the e-book, and this is common knowledge that is freely available on the internet including extensive detailed videos of them on Youtube. And what's more I spent valuable time going over the same old rubbish in many different flavours, time I could have spent on better things to learn about forex. The thing is though, I will probably never know if these so called system ever worked at all in practice, since you need to have a good idea of what you are doing before you can apply them, and by the time you know what you're doing you don't need them. Whatever the case, they are generally a waste of time and money and offer nothing more than what can be found freely on the internet.
My Experience With Forex Mentors.
I found the experience of getting my own personal forex mentor quite exciting, especially the first time, but even thereafter it would always be an exciting time starting a new course since every time I was so optimistic that this would be the course to end all courses. I'd excuse myself that I hadn't done proper due diligence when choosing the previous mentor, and now that I had, this would be it. The first course I took must have been the simplest ever, I was totally green to forex, I had no idea what it really was, but this course was obscenely simple, a PDF every day for about a month, I learnt nothing I couldn't have if I'd dimply just played with a demo account for a few days on my own. We had an audio only webinar on Sunday nights for a couple of hours, and boy could this guy talk, and yes it was interesting, but it was about nothing really. After the money back warranty date had passed it was then we got into strategies, and the strategies were a joke, not even worth a mention really, and I still was not much the wiser after 6 weeks. The second course I took was a while after this, this time I'd done my due diligence, and this time was going to be it as I always thought the beginning of my real forex career was about to start. There were lots of material and a very comprehensive system and looking back it probably would have worked given the time. But it was the wrong kind of mentoring especially for me, I was full of ideas of how to trade forex, I had half an idea what I was doing which can be worse, and he'd encourage my ideas. What I really needed at the time was to be taught patience, not how to get into every signal you could see on the chart. I wouldn't even try and follow the system, I just took a few pointers from it to use as entries, and I just continued to make losses, I didn't blame the system, I knew it was me. But this is where I think a mentor should guide and show patience and explain more about the system rather than have a chit chat about ideas. It was a common experience with mentors that as soon as you'd sign up they'd go on about how they'd had a hard time on some review sites, and how unfair it was and how it was their client's fault for not giving it a proper go and this that and the other. They would then ask if we could make up for this,n and since you could easily see that his material was good quality stuff and how helpful they were being, I'd go right ahead and give them 5 star reviews, but this was just a ploy to get good reviews from us at the start of the course before we got disillusioned. On the whole courses and mentors are a waste of time, the resources are out there free on the internet, it takes time, boy I know it takes time, but eventually with enough patience and determination you'll get there.

The Statue of Liberty, Symbol of America
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door"
from "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus
In the early part of the 20th century, before air transportation was available, most immigrants to the United States came to America on ships from Europe.

Happy Monday!! I hope you're enjoying the good weather (not today tho), I definately am!
Today I'm bringing you a new delicious, yet healthy recipe 🙂 As you may know, I'm always on the run and I often find myself getting an energy bar between breaks. Don't get me wrong, there are loads of vegan natural bar brands that I adore but also some of this brands can be a little bit expensive and some of them are packed with oil, salt and preservatives… I thought, why not make my own energy bars? If you've been following me for a while, you probably know about my "energy balls recipe" and how much I love them, but this time, I wanted to try something different.
I came up with a super low fat Flapjack Energy Bar recipe and guys: I'm in love. I already ate like half of them since I made this recipe (about 3 days ago).
For this deliciousness you will need:
– 1 1/2 CUP of organic oats
- 1 TBSP goji berries
- 1 TBSP organic cocoa powder
- 200gr organic medjool dates (about 12 dates)
- 1 TBSP chia seeds (I get mine from GRAZE –> click here to buy)
- 3 TBSP soy milk or oat milk (I only had soy in the fridge so that's what I used)
On a bowl add your TBSP of chia seeds and 3 TBSP of water, mix well and leave a side for about 5 min. The water will make the chia grow and for a thick gooey paste, we will use this as our "egg" to make sure everything sticks together. Did you know Chia Seeds are super rich in Omega? 🙂
Next, dip your medjool dates and goji berries in a cup with warm water and leave them for a bit so they hydrate and are easier to blend. After a few minutes, rinse your dates and goji berries and blend on a food processor with 3TBSP of soy milk, until you get a creamy thick paste like this one:
Now it's time to make the magic mix! On a big bowl add your oats, cocoa powder, your chia egg and the creamy date/goji paste . Mix well until you achieve a "flapjack dough consistency".
On a rectangular container (make sure you can put it in the freezer) you will put some parchment paper and add your mixture. Then you will spread it until it's all compact and uniform. I recommend you leave about 1,5cm of thickeness. Freeze overnight.
The day after you will wake up to a bach of about 12 flapjacks. You just need to cut them into nice looking bars!
What I like to do is wrap them in individual packages so I can take them with me on the go or give them as a gift so someone 🙂 For the packages I used parchment paper and some hemp cord (which you can re-use afterwards if it doesn't get messy).
I hope you give this recipe a try and please let me know in the comments below if you have any questions, or just to say if you liked it! See you soon in another post!
Have an awesome week! 🙂

Formosan Termites come in a yellowish brown color. Like every other termite, they have 6 legs. They are shaped like a long and narrow oval like most other termites. Their size is bigger than other subterranean termites and usually average around ½". They do have antennae and do fly. Look at the picture to further investigate the appearance of a Formosan termite.
Formosan termites live in mud tubes so that they are protected from their natural enemies like ants and to help keep them in a high moisture area. These termites like to live in the cracks of concrete foundations and can provide entry into your property. These termites are very aggressive, but not to humans. Instead, they are known to demolish wood very quickly. If you are diagnosed with Formosan termites then it is imperative that you seek attention right away.
To prevent these termites from entering your property, do not leave any pieces of rotted wood and stumps close to your house. Also make sure that you do not store any lumber on the ground next to places that you do not want to get invaded. You also want to make sure to keep moisture from building up around your house or storage sheds. If you have a faucet outside, make sure that you have some sort of drainage system in place to keep the dripping water away from your house.
Remember that Formosan termites are like all other termites and leave droppings after they eat. After all, everyone eats so everyone poops. The droppings of Formosan termites are slightly larger than subterranean termites and you can find them by poking holes in the ground where you suspect these termites hide at. According to Hawaii, these termites cost residents around 100$ million a year. Don't let these critters get any of your money!

Nanopatterning on Nonplanar and Fragile Substrates with Ice Resists

CitationHan, Anpan, Aaron Kuan, Jene Golovchenko, and Daniel Branton. 2012. Nanopatterning on nonplanar and fragile substrates with ice resists. Nano Letters 12(2): 1018-2021.
AbstractElectron beam (e-beam) lithography using polymer resists is an important technology that provides the spatial resolution needed for nanodevice fabrication. But it is often desirable to pattern nonplanar structures on which polymeric resists cannot be reliably applied. Furthermore, fragile substrates, such as free-standing nanotubes or thin films, cannot tolerate the vigorous mechanical scrubbing procedures required to remove all residual traces of the polymer resist. Here we demonstrate several examples where e-beam lithography using an amorphous ice resist eliminates both of these difficulties and enables the fabrication of unique nanoscale device structures in a process we call ice lithography. We demonstrate the fabrication of micro- and nanostructures on the tip of atomic force microscope probes, microcantilevers, transmission electron microscopy grids, and suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes. Our results show that by using amorphous water ice as an e-beam resist, a new generation of nanodevice structures can be fabricated on nonplanar or fragile substrates.

More Than Me Foundation Winner For The $1 Million Prize From The Chase American Giving Awards
Dec 12, 2012, 06:00 ET
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More Than Me Foundation, the not-for-profit organization started by Katie Meyler in 2009 that tirelessly works to get young girls off the streets and into schools in Liberia, Africa, has won the coveted $1 MM grant from Chase American Giving Awards, which was announced on NBC Saturday, December 8, 2012.
More Than Me was selected as the overall winner of 25 charity organizations in an online voting contest hosted by Chase Bank. Split into five categories, the organizations competed to win their respective category; and from those five winners, one would be declared the winner of the $1MM grand prize. More Than Me was included in the Educators and Mentors category, which also included: She's The First, Fugees Family, WorldReader, and Sprout Up, each a fantastic organization dedicated to changing the future of the world through education and literacy.
Katie Meyler, a young woman who faced a tough childhood filled with mental and physical abuse, drugs and alcohol, founded More Than Me in 2009. Yet tough as things may have been, Katie always had a warm meal and education at her disposal from the many social programs available in the United States. Because of this, she was determined to help young girls who would never have any type of advancement in promoting their well being and has dedicated her life to providing education, opportunity, and safety to the most vulnerable girls. The organization is currently working with the government of Liberia to transform an old bombed out, looted building donated by the Liberian government into an all-girls academy, with after school programs focused on teaching the girls entrepreneurship.
Katie Meyler was left absolutely stunned when the final winner was announced by host Joel McHale at the end of the show: "I don't even have words to describe how happy I am and how important this prize is to More Than Me," Meyler said. "This amazing prize will give us the ability and opportunity to expand on the work we have achieved thus far, and enable us to take important steps in securing a safe environment for our girls and their future."
Among those supporting More Than Me and its campaign to win the generous grant were fellow organizations Shine On Sierra Leone and FACE Africa, as well as Anthony Bourdain, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Pat Benatar, the HSN community and all of the organization's social media allies.
Katie has been called "The most passionate person we've ever met" by Bono's ONE Foundation, a "Social Media Role-Model" at a UN-sponsored Mashable event and named "Outstanding Woman of the Year" by the NJ Commission on the Status of Women.

Chapter 114 – The Proclamation Has New Entrants (3)
Translated by: bbkgs
Edited by: bbkgs
TLCed by: bbkgs
As time passed, the silence was gradually broken, cries occasionally arose from amongst the autumn woods, it seemed a student of Temple Seminary had entered the proclamation, following this, the crying of a girl could be heard, a senior from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green had fallen from her original ranking of 90 to one that exceeded 100.
In the proclamation's mid to latter rankings, as it had been for many years, most of the rankers were youths from the Southern Domain, with most of them from the Longevity Sect and Scholartree Manor; especially the Longevity Sect, living up to its reputation as to being the foremost Sect in the world. For the schools in the Capital, including Heavenly Academy, Star Seizer Academy and the three schools located here, their number of rankers combined only slightly edged ahead of the Longevity Sect.
A lot of people unconsciously turned their gazes towards the quiet guesthouse, Gou Han Shi and the other disciples of Li Shan Sect alongside other members of the Southern envoy group were currently staying there – Li Shan Sect was only a branch of the Longevity Sect; everyone knew that apart from Qiu Shan Jun and Gou Han Shi, the other members of the Divine State's Seven Laws would be listed upon the rankings, the proclamation had just yet to reach their names.
Upon thinking this point, students of Li Palace College, Temple Seminary and the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green began feeling a little depressed.
The teachers here were all too aware of the fact that the "blade" of the Longevity Sect was Li Mountain; the Longevity Sect's strongest youths were all from Li Shan Sword Sect, but this would have been of little comfort for their students; all they could stress was that the cultivation methods of the Southern sects and Orthodox schools were similar in potency, with the Southern Sects concentrating upon building a quick and solid foundation, but for reaching the highest levels of cultivation, they did not show any inherent advantage over the various schools in the Capital, just taking the Proclamation of Liberation as an example, there didn't exist any disparity in strength between the South and North.
Upon hearing this explanation, students of the Capital were slightly comforted, but they still couldn't bring themselves to be happy, the Proclamation of Liberation wasn't really a secret, and hadn't had an update for many years, therefore couldn't give an accurate assessment of current affairs; it must be understood, with the early entrance of Qiu Shan Jun and Gou Han Shi into the Proclamation of Golden Distinction, the Southern Sects already had a head start in two proclamations.
Due the current mood, both sides of the divine avenue once again became silent, with an air of tension; the Proclamation of Azure Clouds had already passed the middle rankings, and was starting to proclaim the names of the top 40, this caused not just the hot-blooded students, but also someone as stoic as Su Mo Yu to have trouble keeping their emotions in check.
Only Chen Chang Sheng was seemingly unperturbed by the proclamation, this was because he clearly understood that the proclamation had nothing to do with him; he wasn't like Xuan Yuan Po, who did not have the need to undergo Purification. Without having achieved Purification, there was no possibility of getting onto the Proclamation of Azure Clouds, even Elder Tian Ji's own child wouldn't make the exception.
But this was his first experience of the proclamation, and the first time he had seen such a scene, therefore it was a new experience; looking at the nervous expressions of his peers, he gradually also became nervous, with rising tension amongst other emotions, but this it wasn't enough to draw notice.
He looked at Tang Thirty-Six and consoled him: "There's no need to be nervous, as you just said to Xuan Yuan Po, even though this is the Proclamation of Azure Clouds, vying over such a transient position is meaningless, you need to look further ahead."
It had already been over half a year from when the proclamation was first updated, Tang Thirty-Six had only entered a single battle during the Ivy League gathering and subsequently never had another chance to show his strength. What's more, in that battle it was clear that his ability was below that of Qi Jian's, with Elder Tian Ji's insight, he couldn't have missed this point.
With this in mind, it was hard to gauge what will happen to his ranking in this update.
"Competing for a transient ranking is indeed meaningless, but I am already ranked upon the proclamation, if I were to drop in the rankings, then wouldn't I just be an embarrassment? I have to at least maintain my current position."
Tang Thirty-Six had his usual cool and proud expression, but his thin lips were faintly quivering; he replied very low voice and annoyed attitude.
Chen Chang Sheng helplessly answered: "You're nervous to this point and yet you don't think that's embarrassing?"
Tang Thirty-Six snorted indignantly: "I've already said that it's tiring to feign being lofty and stoic, not to mention…"
He turned to stare at Chen Chang Sheng and said: "How am I nervous?"
Chen Chang Sheng replied: "It's pretty obvious."
Tang Thirty-Six's expression mildly changed, he lowered his voice and said: "Looks like I'm not feigning well enough."
Chen Chang Sheng lightly lowered his gaze, looking upon his crumpled sleeves and said: "Your hands are shaking rather hard."
"I'm just bored, I'm the type of person that can even joke with Gou Han Shi, what do you know about me?"
Tang Thirty-Six had a dour expression on his face, his voice was low and hoarse, he furtively placed his arms behind his back.
Chen Chang Sheng only gave out a laugh and didn't say anything else.
During their conversation, the voice from the Hall of Oration had already reached number Thirty-seven on the list, the next one was obviously Thirty-six; the Thirty-six Chen Chang Sheng was most familiar with, Tang Thirty-Six.
The surname was not Tang, they were not named as Tang Tang and had no relation to the Wen Shui family.
Everyone at the divine avenue turned to look towards Tang Thirty-Six, their surprise and confusion was apparent.
The atmosphere turned a little awkward and strange.
Chen Chang Sheng looked at Tang Thirty-Six, and asked with some worry: "There shouldn't be a problem?"
Tang Thirty-Six didn't change his expression, only Chen Chang Sheng and Xuan Yuan Po, who were close to him could make out that his brows faintly twitched.
"It looks like I've advanced this time."
His words were completely lacking in confidence; no matter how you were to analyse it, there was little chance of him not making the rankings, if he wasn't ranked 36, then he must be ranked higher, yet he couldn't understand, on what basis would his rank advance? His performance at the Ivy League gathering was not even to his own satisfaction.
The Hall of Oration's proclamation soon reached rank 33.
Sounds of praise came from the surroundings of Li Palace College, there were even sounds of clapping; Su Mo Yu calmly gave a formal gesture of gratitude. He was surprised that obtaining first place on the second night of the Ivy League gathering didn't improve his ranking, but maintaining the same position he had at the start of the year was still satisfactory, his main target was the Grand Examination after all.
He looked towards Tang Thirty-Six and gently knitted his eyebrows together, he couldn't shake a feeling of unease.
"Tang Tang, Orthodox Academy, Rank Thirty-two upon the Azure Clouds."
Upon that moment, the voice from the Hall of Oration clearly travelled to their location in the autumn woods, causing a ruckus amongst the gathered people, before chatter arose all around, with their shock clearly visible.
Tang Thirty-Six's eyebrow twitched, "I really hate being called Tang Tang."
Though his words were as such, he couldn't hide his delight from showing, delight that also carried puzzlement, he couldn't understand why he had advanced 4 places. Just as Xuan Yuan Po didn't understand his inclusion in the proclamation… but he wasn't going to fuss over these details, his first course of action was to enjoy the glory of his 32nd position.
A ranking of 32 was coincidentally just higher than rank 33 by one.
He looked towards Su Mo Yu, with an expression that carried a sense of laughing yet not laughing; an indescribable animosity.
Su Mo Yu thought back to his words towards the group from Orthodox Academy; even for someone with his type of personality, he couldn't stop his expression from changing.
He had said to Tang Thirty-Six: "When you rank before me on the Proclamation of Azure Clouds, you can come and tell me that my words today are wrong." He had also said to Xuan Yuan Po: "Wait till you're ranked upon the Proclamation of Azure Clouds, then you can talk to me." Yet, within but a blink of an eye, Xuan Yuan Po had entered the Proclamation of Azure Clouds and Tang Thirty-Six was ranked above him on the proclamation.
The divine avenue was silent, stares of female students from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green towards Tang Thirty-Six became ever more ardent; students from Temple Seminary became more sombre; while students of Li Palace College were like Su Mo Yu, their expressions became increasingly ugly.
"On what grounds did Xuan Yuan Po manage to place upon the proclamation? And how did he manage to pass Senior?"
A student finally couldn't hold back and started questioning the validity of this year's new proclamation; to say that no one had dared to question the validity of the proclamation before, meant that no one dared to question it in front of the Council of Divine Ordinance or Elder Tian Ji, privately, there were obviously those who were frustrated and unsatisfied; today's event was too big of an insult to the students of Li Palace college, causing someone to lose their restraint and openly question the result.
Words full of resentment, like the ones from this student, were out of the reach of the Council, and even if they were to hear of it, it wouldn't affect them, therefore they wouldn't go out of their way to provide an explanation.
The evaluation from Elder Tian Ji arrived.
"This child is too lazy, would have otherwise already entered top ten, due to fortuitous circumstance, can no longer be lazy, a blessing."
Elder Tian Ji's evaluation for each person that was listed on the proclamation, was concise and simple, enabling those who hear it to understand the reasoning behind the ranking and their strengths, yet for Tang Thirty-Six, there was no mention of his True Essence nor understanding of cultivation, only touching upon whether if he was lazy or not and touching upon something as vague as fortuitous circumstance.
Countless stares came to rest upon Tang Thirty-Six.
As used to feigning a cool and lofty persona as Tang Thirty-Six was, upon receiving such an evaluation from a peak expert like Elder Tian Ji, he could no longer maintain his expression.
He said while being embarrassed: "Not being lazy anymore is enough is it not?"
He understood what the fortuitous circumstance referred to; it was more than likely referring to his leaving Heavenly Academy and entering Orthodox Academy, or more specifically, his chance meeting with Chen Chang Sheng.
With someone like Chen Chang Sheng by his side, how could he continue to be lazy?
Upon thinking this point, he turned towards Chen Chang Sheng and seriously thanked him: "Greetings to Brother Fortuitous Circumstance."
Upon hearing these words, those that understood its meaning had an immediate change in expression.
Chen Chang Sheng didn't answer; he was more interested in a different matter: "Does this mean I will now have to call you Tang Thirty-Two?"
Tang Thirty-Six's expression changed, thinking to himself that he didn't like the sound of it; he needed to strive harder at the Grand Examination, vying for a better position and name by the time of the new proclamation in spring.
Only… was it going to be the Twenty-eight of the 28 constellations or was it going to be the Twelve from the 12 Knights? Three would obviously be even better, but the difficulty was also disproportionately high; Guan Fei Bai, Liang Ban Hu, alongside that wolf-child of the North were not easy to surpass, after thinking for a time, he suddenly thought of something more important and stopped his line of thought.
He raised his head towards Su Mo Yu, his lips lightly raising and maintaining an expression of laughing yet not laughing and silently said three words.
"You are wrong."
Su Mo Yu's face turned green, but couldn't say anything in return.
A conflict of words between youths can only be considered an incident.
Today, the Proclamation of Azure Clouds was the most important event for the entire continent.
Xuan Yuan Po's inexplicable entry on the proclamation, Tang Thirty-Six's advancement of 4 positions to a ranking of Thirty-two alongside the imminent question of a name change; with today's sudden update to the Proclamation of Azure Clouds, Orthodox Academy was undoubtedly capturing the attention of many people. That academy which had once experienced a pinnacle of glory, upon lying dormant for tens of years, had finally reappeared before the world, who could have expected that its appearance was immediately accompanied by re-found glory?
The sudden update to the proclamation had to be due to a tumultuous change, even if it wasn't comparable to the world-shocking appearance of Qiu Shan Jun or Xu You Rong, it would still be something that could shock everyone. This type of change could only be something related to the top rankings on the proclamation; upon reaching rank 11 on the proclamation, the news transmitted by the Hall of Oration, had its first bewildering revision.

Think 10/29 redux, only the temps and QPF line up a bit better for the changeover on the back-end:
The upper-level vort. max is potent enough to create an area of strong dynamics along the back edge of the system, which will pull cooler air down to the surface and make it cool enough within the boundary layer for some accumulation as the coastal low forms and tracks northeastward. Some banding will allow for locally higher totals along the axis that has the greatest snowfall through the WV/VA mountains, south-central and eastern PA and northern NJ.
I took the 12z Euro Op. solution and shifted the low center northwestward to account for for some model biases, which actually lines up fairly well with the 18z NAM after that adjustment. I believe the 12z and now 18z GFS solutions are too suppressed with this system given how strong the vort. max is.
The snowfall totals could go up as the storm's track and QPF amounts get honed in on the models.
Snowfall is expected to start in the mountains of southern WV/VA/NC Wednesday evening, working into the DC region Thursday morning and departing the PA/NJ region Thursday afternoon.
