A record of how an organization has borrowed money and paid debts and bills. Individuals' or organization's history and experience of repayment of loan, bills and use of revolving credits like credit cards. It is a record of payment behavior of a borrower's and reflects on his ability to repay the loan and his demonstrated responsibility towards the same.
It is used by lending institutes, in credit rating. It reflects on risk factors like late payment, recent bankruptcy, default on an obligation, or late payments. Consumer credit agencies compile these data and sell them to financial institutes and other potential creditors, such as mortgage lenders and credit card companies who are interested to know the risk before extending the credit as a measure of credit worthiness.
For e.g. If one take a lot of loan, excessive debt along with delayed payment of credit cards bill will make ones history bad. The person is a bad risk if he/she wants to borrow money and may be denied credit. While on the other hand person with timely repayment or low debts will be a good risk and hence a safer bet to give out credit.
A term "credit reputation" is used as synonymous to credit history. It consists of information such as:
1. summary of credit history - number and type of credit account, amount of credit used, timely payment of bills, past due
2. number and type of recent credit enquiries
3. details of account turned t credit agencies- bankruptcies, liens, judgments or collections
The history can also be judged by consumer's FICO score or other credit rating scores. The scores add or subtracts based on certain behavior related to lending and borrowing money. With the adoption of risk based pricing by the financial institutes, the credit history and scores are used to determine the annual percentage rate (APR) and other contractual obligations like grace period.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Credit History along with its overview.

Caramel Apple Hot Cider
Tuesday, October 4, 2011
This past weekend the weather was in the upper 40's and I got a hankering for some hot apple cider. After perusing around for a good recipe, I found this little gem...Caramel Apple Cider. It's as awesome as it sounds and not at all overwhelmingly sweet like I was worried it might be. For full flavor, I definitely recommend using real apple cider (it will be brown and cloudy in appearance) and not clear apple juice which has been filtered. I should also mention, that in the recipe it pointed out that American apple cider is not the same as the alcoholic apple cider commonly found in other countries. In other words, this recipe is G-rated for entire families! :)
So next time you're in the mood for something toasty to warm you up after a day at the pumpkin patch or trick-or-treating or you're looking for an elegant drink to serve at a fall party...this recipe is for you. Enjoy!
Recipe Source: Our Best Bites
The ingredients:
1/2 gallon (64-ounces) apple cider (not apple juice)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 orange
8 whole cloves (in the spice section)
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/3 cup caramel sauce plus more to taste if needed (I used caramel ice cream topping)
Sweetened whipping cream
In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, add the apple cider, orange juice, cinnamon sticks and allspice.
Wash the orange and gently stab the whole cloves into it. If you're doubling the recipe, still just use one orange with double the cloves.
Gently place the orange into the stockpot with the apple cider mixture. Bring cider to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer on low for 60 minutes.
Remove the orange after the 60 minutes, even if you plan on simmering the cider for longer. The orange will eventually fall apart and will add a bitter taste to the cider.
Add caramel sauce, to taste. We thought that about 1/2 cup was perfect. Stir in caramel until dissolved.
Serve topped with a dollop of sweetened whipping cream, a drizzle of caramel, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Breeding & Our Current Litter
At Bitter Sweet Mastiffs we offer progeny from our pure bred breeding program. We provide truly quality puppies.
The health of any pure bred animal is of the utmost importance. We health test & focus on assuring health in our puppies. We can not stress this enough.
Mastiffs are so large they are prone to health problems especially:
- Hip & joint problems. We do as much as we can to eliminate this likelihood by choosing dogs that have passed hip & elbow tests
- Cysturia - has to do with developing stones similar to kidney/gallbladder stones.
- OFA is one organization that I use to certify the health of the knees, elbows, patellas, cardiac.
- Pra (eye) - PRA & the cerf certification are used to rule out eye problems.
We also use pedigrees to do pre-health checks to ensure we have standout dogs. We use the greco & briarcreek lines as they are very well know and have great attributes. Of course they are raised in a family setting & exposed to children from day one & have a ton of human interaction. We feel it is very important to socialize these dogs from the time they are mobile as it helps develop their sense of confidence & you have better well rounded dogs that don't panic & have a really good disposition.
I start the potty training process & introduce them to basic commands, this is just a start in the process & we fully expect our families to continue working with them on this. We also introduce potty training & basic commands at week six.
Our prices vary but typically range from $1800 for females to $2000 for males. We also offer a $200 spay/neuter discount to our pet only families. With the discount you will only receive a limited registration from AKC.
Who is Available:
Bittersweet's Diamond in the Rockz Litter sired by Sherwood's Sergio
Our Newest Litter
We use the AKC standard to compare to and show to ensure our family members are continuing the tradition of excellence within this breed. All of our puppies come with a two year health guarantee, AKC registration packet, and a pet food packet complete with; coupons, a list of your puppies vaccination and vet history, along with mine and their contact information, and of course our support whenever it may be needed. Socialization for this breed is paramount to ensure there is not a 200 lb mass dragging you through the park, or your neighbor yard- I encourage a basic obedience class to anyone who purchases a puppy from me so at a reasonable weight you can establish the lines of communication with your new furry bundle of joy! (A link to the contact is provided) Link to MCOA, AKC, where you can find open obedience classes in your area)

I have been wondering. Politics is an interesting beast and right now in NZ, its akin to watching a ship that keeps on crashing onto the reef. In the last week or so, I have run into a wide gambit of the public who would be placed all along the political spectrum, and some who, despite the overwhelming evidence of madness, are hell bent on wearing their blinkers (in my humble opinion). In an effort to understand the psyche of the average voter punter, I have been thinking about the people I meet and from where I sit, there seems to be four main groups one might politically fall into.
Choosing who to vote for can be a tricky proposition for some. What drives us to vote (or not) is seeped in a range of factors such as societal, social, familial and emotional. I posted on this earlier and you can read that here. Not all of those are logical, and for people who are passionate about politics and the importance of their democratic right to vote, their dogged determination to vote for a particular party is as parochial as ones passion for a particular rugby team. In complete contrast to the 'doggedly parochial' are the 'blissfully indifferent' who, if they indeed vote, are non committal, unconcerned and wander around the country complexly disinterested in all things political. Somewhere in-between are the undecided 'swingers' (not to be confused with swingers, if you know what I mean) who switch between the left and the right. Then of course, there is the "conscientious non voter' who chooses to take a stand by not voting.
Group One: The Doggedly Parochial
These are the people who are a staunch supporter of a particular party, left or right. They have always voted this way, always will and can not usually be swayed by others. Irrespective of what their respective party throws up as policy, they will always vote for their team.
Group Two: Blissfully Indifferent
Blissfully indifferent are similar to the Undecided Swingers in that if they vote, they will rock on up to the polling booth on the day, quite likely to choose their party on random, or at the last minute. I find those that fit into this group a bit of an enigma, as narrowing down their motivation to vote, or not to, can be as slippery as an eel.
Group Three: Undecided Swingsters
The Undecided fit into two groups - those who are easily beguiled by the baubles of the pre election promises (like tax cuts), and those who patiently wait until election day to make their decision. They carefully weigh up which party offers what. Often these voters are those who sit somewhere in the centre, and attract the vigorous 'wooing' of all the parties, particularly the two largest - and closest to centre left or centre right. It is this vigorous 'wooing' that can seem, to the doggedly parochial, to be the main cause of the watering down of their respective parties policies.
Group Four: Conscientious Non Voter
This is perhaps the most concerning of all the types of voters. These people choose not to vote, often as a protest against the 'system'. This protest can be either because they think their vote is a waste of time, pointless and not required, or because they don't trust any of the parties and feel voting is beneath their moral compass. Earlier this year I posted on why I think people should vote, and in particular how the power of the single vote is indeed not at all pointless. Suffice to say, the amount of people who don't vote continues to be of concern in New Zealand, and this group is bigger than one would like in a democracy.
Those are the four main types of voter I have had the pleasure of coming across in recent weeks. By no means a definitive list, but certainly each voter 'type' comes with both its positives and with its challenges for the parties who are out there seeking votes. Which do you associate the most with?
I have said it before so I will repeat it again - I don't mind what way you swing your vote, just that you exercise your democratic right to vote.

KIT protects and supports equal opportunities of women and men in all areas of research, education, innovation, and administration. Equal opportunities are understood to be a guiding principle in all areas of work.
The high priority of equal opportunities at KIT is reflected by the "Satzung für die Chancengleichheit für Frauen und Männer am Karlsruher Institute für Technologie" (Equal Opportunities Statutes for Women and Men at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) adopted by the KIT Senate in May 2014. Upon approval by the Supervisory Board, these statutes entered into force for all members of KIT in September 2014. The statutes define the framework conditions for the implementation of equal opportunities on all organizational levels of KIT. The statutes are put into more concrete terms by the Equal Opportunities Plan discussed by the KIT Senate and adopted by the Supervisory Board. This plan is part of KIT's Structure and Development Plan. It contains concrete objectives for the implementation of equal opportunities and a list of measures to reach these objectives.
The Equal Opportunities Plan focuses on KIT working towards the elimination of existing disadvantages for women, actively pushing the increase of the proportion of women working in all disciplines and at all levels, where women are underrepresented, and improving the compatibility of job and family for both women and men. In addition, KIT wishes to improve access and career chances of women.
A special objective outlined in the Equal Opportunity Statutes is raising awareness of unequal treatments. These may be caused among others by traditional role models in the professional environment and personal prejudices. KIT therefore creatively uses all means to sharpen the awareness of equal opportunities, to question role models, and to break them up, if necessary. Work is also aimed at developing acceptance of new models of work and life and openness for changing roles of men and women.
Organization of Equal Opportunities

idoru.js is an experiment I'm working on with artificial characters in virtual worlds. The idea is that to provide good "user experience" (UX) in a virtual world, a character must have good "stage presence" to stimulate engagement.
The idea is to create a framework for an artificial character that is charming and attentive to the user. This character can then be "dressed up" with any imaginable avatar. It can be given any "job" that anyone cares to script.
A good suit and deep knowledge are not enough to make a person engaging in the real world. A person needs body language. A person needs to be attentive to the person they are engaging. They need to make eye contact. They need to interact with a person's personal space in a thoughtful, polite way.

It's a question I hear from so many of you: Am I asking for too much?
I need you to think about this one, because if we're ever going to stop taking this out on ourselves, we have to separate the two.
It's not that you're asking for too much. Oh you're not!
For someone who's on the same page as you, who's ready for a real committed relationship and knows that's exactly what he wants and nothing less, what you're asking for is entirely reasonable and doesn't need to be defended or explained to anyone!
But if we're talking about someone who for all he may say he's ready for a relationship but doesn't show you with his real life actions that he actually is, then you're going to feel like you're asking for too much for a very good reason.
And this reason is because there's a disconnect between the two of you.
You want it. He doesn't. So, Beautiful, don't take this on yourself.
Don't let his inability to commit to you cause you to put on yourself that there's something so wrong with you for wanting one. You have every right to a real loving relationship, a love that loves you back, someone who cares about you and will be there for you through everything – and actually WANTS to be.
Whether you're looking back at a relationship that showed so much promise but could never have been because he wasn't in it for the same reasons you were, or whether you're in the throes of a relationship where you're more lonely with him than you were before him, or somewhere in between, there's something here for you.
The problem isn't that we're asking for too much, it's that we're asking it of the ones who it's too much for!
My question for you is, whose problem is that? Is it yours? Or is it his?
This is so important!
Because if it's yours, your takeaway is that there's something wrong with you for wanting what you want. For not settling for less than what you want.
And the bigger problem with this line of thinking is that it affects us to our core. We don't just make it that we want too much from someone who doesn't want the same thing; we make it that we shouldn't want what we want.
We make it that we're too needy, too weak, too whatever else we make it about, until it affects our self-confidence and self-esteem to the point that we're walking around feeling unlovable, undesirable, unworthy and everything else this spirals down to. But none of that is true! None of it.
It's only because we're confusing the two.
We're confusing our dissonance between what he wants and what we want as equaling something wrong with us.
There's nothing wrong with you! There's nothing wrong with what you want!
And the faster we learn that part, the faster we figure that part out, the faster we can leave behind the should haves, would haves, could haves - all those regrets - and move on to someone who's actually looking for a real relationship with you!
Take your beautiful heart full of all this love and affection and everything else you're ready to throw away on someone who's shown you over and over again that he's not capable of making the kind of commitment you're so ready to make, and give it to someone who's actually looking for this, too.
That's the only kind of heart you're looking for. One who's in this for the same reasons you are.
Notice who's looking at the same things you are. Notice who's paying attention and noticing and standing up for the same things you are. Notice who's showing you he has a heart, that he's passionate about something that you're passionate about, who's showing you he's looking for the same thing you are.
You're not asking for too much.
You're not!
But keep asking it of someone who's not on your page, who can't give you what you're looking for, who has to deflect this back on you in order to feel better about himself, and you're absolutely going to feel like you are.
Don't do this!

Christianity is perceived to be a good cause which is in danger of collapsing though lack of support. Or - in a quite different manifestation of the same fundamental attitude - there is a strident summons to a more energetic efforts in evangelism and social action. But I do sense an underlying Pelagianism which lays too much stress on our own activities and is too little controlled by the sense of the greatness and majesty and sufficiency of God. I am saying that there can be a kind of Christian activity which only masks a lack of confidence in the sufficiency of God. . .
In a pluralist society there is always a temptation to judge the importance of any statement of the truth by the number of people who believe it. Truth, for practical purposes, is what most people believe. Christians can fall into this trap. It may well be that for some decades, while churches grow rapidly in other parts of the world, Christians in Europe may continue to be a small and even shrinking minority. If this should be so, it must be seen as an example of that pruning which is promised to the church in order that it may bear more fruit (John 15:11ff). When that happens it is painful. But Jesus assures, "My Father is the gardener." He knows what he is doing, and we can trust him. Such experience is a summons to self-searching, to repentance, and to fresh commitment. It is not an occasion for anxiety. God is faithful, and he will complete what he has begun.

It's too late, I have work at morning and no sleep. Well, maybe I have much thoughts that my mind won't let me sleep!
It's okay, I only have one mind, what to do but obey him this little monster. 😀
All thoughts just love to pop out at bed time. Anyway:
I will sleep very soon, don't worry. Good night.

Set in the fictional new town of Draylingstowe in Essex, based around a now defunct and possibly poisonous car plant, the play explores the intertwined misfortunes of two families over 12 years. While his parents' marriage tragically implodes after the beheading of his elder soldier brother by Jihadists, the lonely, troubled 12-year-old Ryan befriends Jack, a not-too-bright, bullied boy who looks after his clinically obese mother. But their bonding over a common interest in lurid sci-fi adventures is blown apart by all-too-real violence.
As its title suggest, Shivered is about fragmentation, as we see the break-up of families, friendships and community, as well as the shattering of certainties between reality and fantasy. This is reflected in the fascinating way Ridley has constructed the play, with 17 brilliantly linked scenes performed non-chronologically as we move back and forth in time, painfully piecing together the shards of glass.
Although the play touches on topical issues of the 'war against terrorism' and post-industrial decline, Shivered focuses on the Ridleyan themes of fractured relationships, 'monsters' within and without, and storytelling as both escapist deception and therapeutic release, as the characters and the audience struggle to understand what is fact and what is fiction.
Director Russell Bolam ensures the action remains fluid, getting the most out of a terrific cast. Joseph Drake is touchingly naïve as the damaged, nerdy Ryan, suggesting how his search for aliens is also an attempt to retain contact with his vanished amateur photographer father (Simon Lenagan).
Robbie Jarvis boils over with anger as his brutalised brother on a home visit prior to his fatal return to war, while Olivia Poulet shows his mother cracking up with grief and resorting to casual sex games. Josh Williams gives a superb performance as the immature but likeable Jack, unable to differentiate between video nasties and actual suffering, with his medium mother (Amanda Daniels) exploiting her 'illness'. And Andrew Hawley makes a splendidly ambivalent shaman/charlatan fairground hustler, profiting from others' illusions.
Though perhaps sometimes guilty in the past of self-indulgent word-spinning, Shivered shows Ridley at his imaginative best in what is arguably his most moving and accessible adult play to date.

LOS ANGELES – Yasiel Puig and the Dodgers feverishly campaigned to get the outfielder into the All-Star Game via Major League Baseball's Final Vote, only to come up short.
But according to Puig's manager, the 22-year-old Cuban was more emotional when he found out he was starting in center field for the first time than when he heard the voting results.
"I thought he was going to hug me and kiss me," Manager Don Mattingly said of informing Puig of his center field start Thursday against the Colorado Rockies.
Puig was widely expected to win the voting competition because of his rapid ascent to nationwide popularity since being called up to the majors June 3.
Instead, he came in second behind Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, who received a record 19.7 million votes.
Puig's vote total was not released, although MLB did announce he received more than the previous record of 15.6 million votes.
"I'm happy with it," Puig said through a translator. "It's not what I expected for the team and for the city, but you just have to keep on playing."
Puig could still make the game as a replacement for an injured player, but that is unlikely.
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is in charge of replacing any players who withdraw, and he has repeatedly said he does not find Puig worthy with such limited experience.
In 35 games entering Thursday, Puig was hitting .396 with eight home runs and 19 RBI. He will have played in a maximum of 39 games before Tuesday's All-Star Game. The previous low for an All-Star was Joe DiMaggio's 57 games in 1936.
Most around baseball have agreed that Puig demonstrates All-Star potential.
"If he continues to do what he's been doing over a full year, then we're going to see a lot of Yasiel," Mattingly said. "I think that's the thing that should be remembered: If you're going to be an All-Star then you're going to be able to continue to do it. How good you are is measured over time."
Puig has been criticized in recent days because of his on-field aggression, with Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero telling reporters he hopes Puig's teammates will instruct the rookie to show more respect to opponents.
"He's got so much talent, it'd be really bad if he wasted it doing the stupid things that he's doing," Montero said.
Asked about Montero's comments, Puig said all he worries about is the view his teammates have of him.
"Everyone's entitled to their opinion," Puig said. "I'm going to play my game the way I play my game. If you don't like it, you don't have to."
Puig said he and his teammates are "more reserved" than the Diamondbacks.
"We don't talk about the style that Montero and (Arizona outfielder Gerardo) Parra play," Puig said. "We worry about ourselves."
Puig also disputed a USA Today report that had him spurning ex-Dodger Luis Gonzalez during batting practice this week in Arizona. Gonzalez, of Cuban heritage, reportedly attempted to introduce himself and was rebuffed.
"That wasn't true," Puig said. "I shook his hand and I said hello, just like the rest of my teammates did."
The Dodgers have just one All-Star, left-hander Clayton Kershaw. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez also lost in the Final Vote.

Capitalizing on youthful passion for video games, school leaders hope to keep more kids in school by offering the chance to conceive, design, build — and sell — their own video game.
"That's what they love," said David White, the school's chief academic officer. "That's the hook." —Scott Elliott —Reading, writing and video games (Dayton Daily News)
Sounds pretty good to me.

Perhaps if we had more money, our product would look better. Undoubtedly, the production value would increase. We'd have the time to get more shots. We'd have access to better cameras and equipment, and we could pay for better actors. Maybe, we could bring a writer or two on board to rewrite our scripts.
Hollywood knows how to tell a good story. And they have been doing it for years. Here are ten secrets they have realized about telling good stories that are capable of impacting the human heart.
Here are 10 guidelines that mainstream filmmakers understand about making redemptive films.
1. Your movie must have entertainment value. People watch films to be entertained. Some Christians have made entertainment a dirty word. When people watch films and television, they are relaxed and more receptive to the message contained within the story. Often, they will reexamine their lives or be challenged to be a better person.
2. Filmmaking is an art form. The art must come first. For most Christians, the message is first. Audiences will not accept this and will see it as a form of propaganda. We must recognize that the divine can be found in art. We understood this for centuries. But, somewhere along the way, we have forgotten this. Film is not a good forum for a 5-point sermon. If we make great art, it has the capacity to move the human heart.
3. Films need to have an emotional impact. Emotions move people; therefore, our characters need to be believable as well as our dialogue. Nobody will accept the redemptive process if you are not successful in taking them through the emotional journey involved in the process of change.
4. Films work better with metaphors and symbolism because you keep the audience engaged in the story. This is a concept that most Christian filmmakers have failed to understand. Metaphors and symbolism help to forge connections between dissimilar objects and themes. We need to realize our audience has the intelligence to figure it out on their own. Stop telegraphing every story element or plot point. Remember, Jesus said in his parables the Kingdom of God is like….
5. Films are a great forum to ask questions. Christians love to ask questions, but unfortunately, we also love to give all the answers. We really don't want our audience to have to think for themselves. This doesn't work for film. Jesus used parables as his principle storytelling technique. He often asked questions, but he seldom gave they answers. It was his audience's responsibility to find the answers.
6. Redemptive films need to illustrate the wonders of God. As Christians we don't do this very well in film. When it come to miracles, angels, the unexplained, healings or the story of the loaves and fish, our stories seem to be flat, one-dimensional and lacking depth. Perhaps we're too close to the subject material. NonChristians for some reason seem to be much better at this. For example, Jesus of Nazareth, produced in 1977 for television, is exceptional at exploring the wonders of God. It is a difficult concept to explain, but they do it with simplicity, humanity and the divine in such a way that it moves you.
The wonders of God can also be found in the small things of everyday life which are truly the miracles. We can find the divine patterns of life that exist in the smile of a child and the dawning of a new day. Christian filmmakers often don't know how to depict the glorious, marvelous and small wonders of God's grace and love which occur daily in our lives.
7. Redemptive filmmaking requires the ability to question God. We Christians have a tough time doing this. We don't want to admit we have doubts and are sometimes confused. Perhaps, we think it is a sin to question God. But that's not Biblical. Jacob's name meant deceiver, but his name was changed to Israel meaning one who struggles with God. This happened after the all-night wrestling match at Peniel. We have to ask questions. Where is God when we are hurting? Why do bad things happen? As filmmakers, we have to be willing to ask these questions. If our goal is to be authentic, real and genuine, our audience is asking the same questions. Let's face it. Christian filmmakers paint a world the way they want to see it. Mainstream filmmakers paint life's complexities and the world as it is.
8. The need for redemption requires us to face sin. NonChristians may not call sin, sin, but they are good at depicting it. There is no redemption in the filmmaking process without the ability to portray sin. Our audience will not accept the fact that our characters have gone through this incredible transformation without seeing what their lives looked like before the transformation. They have to see the ugliness. We have all gone through the same experience. Life isn't always pretty. That doesn't mean we offer gratuitous, offensive material just for the sake of showing it. But it is part of the journey to redemption. I know for some Christians, this is a difficult concept to accept. But here is something to consider. The Bible is a story of the human condition without God and does contain content that some may find disturbing. We are afraid that if we show sin we are somehow endorsing it. Most Christian filmmakers want their hero or protagonist to be flawless not at the end of the redemptive process but at the beginning.
9. Filmmaking is a visual medium. The key to making great films is to think visual. How do we visually illustrate the personification of art? How do we express emotions—anger, frustration, indifference, internal struggles? Redemptive stories require expressing the intangible in a tangible, visual form.
10. Redemptive stories do not necessarily offer a convenient and tidy ending. Just as in life, there may not be a fairy tale ending as in "they lived happily ever after". For example, in Bella, it would have been temping to end the movie with a happy and satisfying conclusion. However, both lead characters had their moments of redemption, which were more reflective of real life. Redemption is a complex process and is different for each of us.

How was the CWG DELHI : 2010?
Commonwealth Games 2010 : Delhi
How was the CWG 2010 hosted by India? Were you satisfied by their preparations? Were you amazed by our performance?
My say is that even with all the controversies around the games which led to the loss of much tourist attraction, the CWG 2010 was a success being the most incredible world class event hosted by India till date. I am impressed with our country - bagging many Medals (101 to be exact), and the support of the crowd! The closing ceremony was stupendous to watch!

G.J. Madsen, R.J. Reynolds, L.M. Haffner (Univ. of Wisconsin - Madison)
The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) has been used to investigate the range of conditions present in the warm ionized medium (WIM) of the Milky Way. The WHAM Northern Sky Survey has revealed the presence of remarkable large-scale H\alpha-emitting structures, including loops, filaments, and bubbles throughout the WIM superposed on a more diffuse H\alpha~background. In an effort to understand the origin and conditions associated with these structures within the WIM, observations of the relatively strong optical emission lines of H\alpha, H\beta, [\ion{S}{2}]~\lambda6716, and [\ion{N}{2}]~\lambda6583, as well as the much weaker lines of [\ion{O}{1}]~\lambda6300, [\ion{O}{3}]~\lambda5007, [\ion{N}{2}]~\lambda5755, and \ion{He}{1}~\lambda5876~have been made toward directions sampling both the diffuse and filamentary WIM. Analysis of the strength of these lines and their ratios reveal important clues about the temperature and ionization state of the gas, and indirectly reveal information about the ionizing spectrum, extinction, density, and heating of the WIM.
This paper presents the results of WHAM spectra obtained toward two directions: l=130\circ, b=-7.5\circ~and l=133\circ, b=+18\circ. The spectra reveal multiple emission line components in each direction, interpreted as ionized regions spread along the line of sight out to 3 kpc or more. We find significant variations in the ratio of these emission lines among the different radial velocity components along a single line of sight, as well as between the two lines of sight. Preliminary analysis suggests interesting correlations and anti-correlations among the line ratios and raises new questions about the heterogeneous nature of the WIM. For example, toward the sightline with four radial velocity components (l=130\circ, b=-7.5\circ), we find an anti-correlation between [\ion{O}{3}]~\lambda5007/[\ion{N}{2}]~\lambda6583~and [\ion{N}{2}]~\lambda5755/[\ion{N}{2}]~\lambda6583, indicating that the regions with a lower O++/O+ ionization fraction have a significantly higher electron temperature. Potential implications of these correlations in the spectra will be discussed.

Understanding generational marketing can be a bit tricky in today's world, but it has never been more important than when it comes to branding and connecting with your audience on an emotional level.
For example, it would be wrong to try and combine Millennials with the up-and-coming Generation Z group. While similar, they each possess different motivators, wants and needs. In this case, it takes different approaches in order to make a connection.
Millennials are the young adults in the workforce while Generation Z is just entering college or starting their careers. Both generations thrive on individuality, but differ in how that individuality is expressed.
Millennials are creative, driven, and authentic individuals who thrive on finding their place in the world, as they search for ways to make a difference. A good way to reach this demographic is to find a cause that parallels your mission; get involved in a creative way that piques their interest and sparks engagement.
Generation Z adds their own brand of individualism to the mix. Their lives are completely intermixed with technology, having no recollection of life before technology. Social media is typically the best way to reach them, understanding that immediate gratification is always their driving force.
The key to really connecting with these two unique groups is to ditch the 'stuffy-shirt' mentality and let them see the fun, creative, philanthropic version of your organization. Come up with a clever hashtag or a Snapchat Geofilter and give them a reason to jump in the conversation. They will feel a sense of familiarity with you and be more inclined to not only remember you, but share what they have learned with their friends.

Exclusive: Sigourney Weaver Boards "Prometheus 2"News Ken W. Hanley
When PROMETHEUS hit in 2012, one hotly debated aspect of the film was its place in the ALIEN chronology. However, according to very reliable sources, it seems that the recently announced PROMETHEUS 2 may be putting that debate to rest once and for all, as Sigourney Weaver has signed on to the film!
To what extent her character is involved, whether as a cameo or as a major character, is unknown, but FANGORIA has learned that Weaver will once again be playing a clone of her Ripley character, and that time travel will be essential to the plot of PROMETHEUS 2. Additionally, our source cited Michael Green's recent rewrites of the script were to help further connect PROMETHEUS 2 to the ALIEN universe, and states other actors from the franchise may return as well in some capacity.
"The connection to the ALIEN franchise is getting the film fast-tracked, and the studio hopes to win back fans jaded by the tenuous connections in the first film," claims our source. "Bringing on Sigourney all but seals the deal, and she's currently the only other person I can confirm outside of Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender for PROMETHEUS 2."
Our source also says Weaver has increased her physical fitness regiment under famed trainer-to-the-stars Bill Carter, so hopefully ALIEN fans may see the 64-year-old actress back behind the power loader to face off against some Engineers! As of now, details are scant, as our source claims the production is so secretive that Weaver and director Ridley Scott had to take covert meetings while on the set of his biblical epic EXODUS.
"The studio didn't want [Weaver and Scott] to talk about the project while near so many cameras and microphones while shooting EXODUS, so they borrowed a boat from the on-set spiritual adviser, Chip Gardner, and the two had all of their production meetings on international waters," states our source. "They could pretty much talk about anything out there without having to worrying about anyone finding out."
FANGORIA is still trying to scrape up more details, but our source couldn't tell us much more, but made sure to mention that Weaver will be appearing in a one-night-only run of Don DiMello's stage production of APRIL FOOL'S DAY.

|He must have thought I didn't love him anymore... But I loved him. If you only knew how much I missed him...
—Ann to Madison Paige
Ann Sheppard is the elderly mother of Scott and John Sheppard. She suffers from Alzheimer's disease and currently resides in a geriatric hospital. She was likely institutionalized for mental health reasons after the untimely death of her son. She is visited by Madison Paige, who believes that John Sheppard's brother is the Origami Killer and hopes to learn his identity. According to Ann, her son Scott was taken away due to neglect after John's death, and she did her best to visit him whenever she could. However, she was no longer able to see him after she became sick with Alzheimer's, making Scott feel that she abandoned him.
Ann RemembersEdit
While visiting Ann at the hospital as Madison, you will need to look around her room and the surrounding areas for "reminders" to help trigger her memory:
- Near the window, fold an origami dog to help her recall how it was John's favorite, and how he named them all "Max."
- Go outside into the hallway and take the orchid from its vase, and bring it back to her room, placing it in the vase by her bedside table.
- Search the drawers of the bedside table to find an old photograph.
Chapter AppearancesEdit
- Ann Sheppard
- Origami Killer (flashback, determinant)
- Ann's name is inspired by Cecelia Ann Shepard, a victim of the Zodiac Killer (who is mentioned in "Welcome, Norman").
- She is one of the people whose face is shown up close during the opening credits.
- In the early stages of Heavy Rain, the Origami Killer was to suffocate Ann with a pillow, but this scene was later taken out. In a flashback, Ann is in her bed with her eyes closed (making it unclear if she's dead or just sleeping), with the Origami Killer looking down at her, which could be the remaining part of the former scene.
- While Madison Paige is questioning Ann to find the name of John Sheppard's twin brother she says, "I asked for a television, you know. They said I didn't have enough money. It's a pity, I'm quite fond of television." On the contrary, in Ann's hospital room there is a television mounted on to the wall. It is off and Ann may have forgotten it's there due to her Alzheimer's, or else because it requires a payment for her to watch.
- When Ann reveals the identity of the killer to Madison Paige, Madison will be shocked. Unless she is simply shocked to learn the killer's identity, there is no reason for her to be shocked seeing as how she didn't personally know the killer at this time.
- Ann's history is somewhat similar to Ethan's: their first children (John and Jason) die, and their second children (Scott and Shaun) are kidnapped or taken away from them.

- Honey Cake
Honey Cake
- 1/2 navel orange, zest grated
- 1/2 green apple, cored and peeled
- 8 ounces honey
- 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon each nutmeg, ginger and allspice
- 6 tablespoons strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons Scotch whiskey
- Pinch cream of tartar
Make It
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper. Using the grater disk of a food processor (or the coarse side of a box grater) grate together the orange pulp and apple. Add the orange zest to the fruit and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the honey and all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Whisk in the oil, then the egg yolks, and beat until well combined.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the coffee and whiskey.
4. In a clean bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and the cream of tartar at medium speed until they form soft peaks.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the honey mixture in thirds, alternating with half the whiskey-coffee mixture until smooth. Beat in the orange and apple mixture, then gently fold in the egg whites.

What is changing?
As a follow-up reminder of Emigra Worldwide's alert of August 15, 2017, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) of Singapore is in the process of introducing a new format for Work Pass Cards. The new card system is designed to enhance security and facilitate organizational operations when enquiring on the most up-to-date pass validity and verifying card authenticity. In addition, the new card system will reduce the need to replace cards when passes are renewed. Work Pass Cards currently display the Date of Application, Date of Issue, Date of Expiry and Occupation fields. These will all be removed from the physical card. Instead, the latest information for the work pass holder will be made available virtually via:
1. A new Mobile App called SGWorkPass,
2. A new web service, and
3. The existing work pass system's enquiry function.
Who is affected?
- All employers of foreign workers in Singapore
What to expect
Implementation of the new process for Employment Pass, S Pass, Dependent's Pass and Long Term Visit Pass will be introduced in March 2018 (exact date to be confirmed).
Employers are encouraged to use the new SGWorkPass mobile app to check a pass's validity. For internal tracking purposes, employers will need to rely on alternative documentation (such as the Notification Letter) in order to monitor a pass's expiry date.
What you need to do
Planning ahead
- Contact your Emigra Worldwide representative for further details on how these updates may impact you or your client.

A MySQL cloud server only allows remote access to a certain server (in this example, 18.104.22.168). Running the following commands from the terminal is verified to work:
ssh -p 40000 firstname.lastname@example.com
mysql -u dbuser -p -h example.com
But when combining them into command (in order to assign it to an alias), it doesn't work:
ssh -p 40000 firstname.lastname@example.com "mysql -u dbuser -p -h example.com"
No error message is displayed, and the terminal never outputs a returned response.
Any ideas?

The story of the connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda is one that the Bush administration refuses to make — not because it isn't true, but because it prefers not to confront its domestic opponents on this point. Nevertheless, the case for the connection grows stronger every day. The administration has left the field to independent journalists such as the Weekly Standard's indomitable Stephen Hayes. In the Standard's current issue, Hayes (with Thomas Joscelyn) returns to the subject in a long, ground-breaking article: "The mother of all connections." Claudia Rosett picks up the theme at OpinionJournal this morning: "Saddam and al Qaeda."
I spoke briefly with Hayes yesterday. He informs me that the Standard Web site will be following up with daily installments on the connection over the next few weeks.

Why Can't We Cure The Common Cold?
Why Can't We Cure The Common Cold?
There are many different types of viruses that cause the common cold. In fact, over 200 different varieties of viruses can cause the symptoms of a cold. The most common viruses that cause colds are called rhinoviruses. Other virus types include coronavirus, parainfluenza, adenovirus, enterovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. The "rhino" in rhinovirus is derived from the Greek for "nose." Rhinovirus describes species that belongs to the enterovirus genus of the family Picornaviridae. Other enteroviruses belonging to Picornaviridae include poliovirus and Coxsackie A virus. Rhinovirus is one of the smallest types of virus, with a diameter of around 30 nanometers. Optimal growth of the virus is achieved at somewhere between 33 and 35 °C, which is the temperature range found in the human nose. Around 100 rhinoviruses have been identified, all of which differ according to the proteins presented on their surface. As the predominant cause of the common cold in humans, primary symptoms of this condition include runny nose, sore throat, cough, sneezing and congestion. These symptoms may be accompanied by headache, muscle ache, muscle weakness, malaise and loss of appetite. Children can suffer from as many as twelve colds a year and in the United States, with colds occurring more commonly between September and April. This may be attributed to the school year starting around September and to people spending more time inside and within closer proximity of each other during these months.

"Mind the gap. Mind the gap. Mind the gap."
Who would have thought that this well-intentioned reminder blasting from the London Underground, and many other transit systems around the world, would actually carry an important and wise message beyond trains and holes?
This article is inspired by Peter Senge's discussion on personal mastery in his book The Fifth Discipline; in particular, the gap between our personal vision and our current reality.
No, we are not talking about those big company statements that employees can barely remember, much less buy into. We are talking about you and your vision of/for yourself. In essence, what do you truly want? What is a picture of yourself in the future that you want to see?
If you have an answer to that question, good. If you find yourself struggling for an answer, I suggest that now is the time to reclaim those dreams which you have banished into the modern-day winter palace, or to create new ones.
The essential gap
For all of us, there exists a gap between our vision and the current reality. However successful and happy one might be, there will always be a gap, simply because it is in our nature to grow and better ourselves. The difference between you and the next person lies in how wide the gap is and what do you do about that gap. Brian Johnson brilliantly calls this innocent space the Integrity Gap.
Closing the gap
A large number of us walk around every day under the subconscious weight of our cognitive dissonance. We want A but we settle for B, and this feeling of discomfort sits in us like a malign tumor that eats away at our spirit slowly. It is what contributes to that nagging dissatisfaction that we have about Life – knowing that we are not doing our best, and therefore living out of integrity with ourselves.
So, what do we do? We try to close the gap to make ourselves feel better, and we do so by means of the following:
- Seeking an immediate short-term solution for instant gratification. As an extreme example, robbing a bank (I'm sure you got the message)
- Lowering the vision, a.k.a. compromising and settling
- Stretching our current reality towards our vision
Which of these is most familiar to you?
The secret to happiness is to live in integrity with your vision and commit to being and acting your best on a moment-to-moment basis, even if it means to stretch beyond your comfort zone and to risk failing or looking like a fool. The other two options might be easier, but they are dangerous because they trap you in a cycle of suffering and unfulfillment.
On the other hand, taking the road less travelled will be tough and you will most definitely experience pain and struggles. However, it is through this that you will tap into your hidden potential (however cliché it sounds, there is a huge truth to this) and experience strength, joy and freedom like never before, just as how a caterpillar undergoes an intense struggling in the cocoon phase to emerge as a magnificent butterfly. I've never heard of a caterpillar that would reject its own evolution because it was afraid of the pain; neither have I seen an eagle that would settle for crawling instead of flying because it thinks that flying is tough. It is part of nature to embrace our greatness and destiny, just as it is in the destiny of an acorn to become a majestic oak tree. We humans are the only ones who would go against nature. Thankfully, we have the power to choose and to change. It is still not too late.
Honouring the gap
Not everything about the gap is gloom and doom. A healthier alternative to the rob-the-bank approach of resolving that cognitive dissonance is to practice the discipline of delayed gratification. It means to honour the fact that you are not yet where you want to be and to gratefully hold that space even as you consistently move towards your vision. This space has a magic of its own called the 'creative tension'. It is where great ideas are born.
Living with a network of visions
In this imperfect game we call Life, it is not all black and white and easy-peasy Bingo. What happens when you've decided to stand by your vision and you find that someone has another vision for you, or that your organization has another vision which you have to subscribe to?
We live in a world that is quite like the Matrix, with visions crisscrossing each other all over the place. Like Neo, there will be bullets coming at you. Some will be called 'Be realistic'; some will be called 'You're not good enough'; some will be called 'This is what I want for you instead'. The challenge is to commit to living your personal and professional vision, and to be spacious and creative enough to find a way to align it with a bigger vision that encompasses that of your organization or your loved ones.
Hold on to your vision – it is a powerful force for change; for aligning your actions and decisions with your inner north star.
"It's not what the vision is; it's what the vision does" – Peter Senge

New Things for the Garden
I also ordered seeds for a few more heirloom vegetables. I'm trying to move more and more to heirlooms, so I can save even more of my own seeds. This year, I'm trying Lutz Green Leaf for my beet crop, and Danish Ballhead for storage cabbages. I found the things I wanted in the Jung Seeds catalog.
I like additions to my perennial plant selection even better. I ordered a Wolfberry herb plant, also called a Goji berry. It's supposed to be a hardy, drought-tolerant, vining perennial shrub, and the berries, high in anti-oxidants, are commonly dried like rose hips. Sounds like it will fit right in around here. I wanted a couple more blueberry plants. I already have a dwarf Northland that is doing ok in a little bed where I've added sulfur, plus mulched with pine needles and coffee grounds, to make the soil more acid. Blueberries are supposed to do better with three varieties cross-pollinating each other, so I'm trying a dwarf Northblue and a Rubel to complete that planting group - I need to find varieties that can both take the heat of our summers and survive our freezing winter weather without snow cover.
Then, I'm trying something new for my sweet husband. He likes to make beer, getting the ingredients from a brewers supply place in Reno, but has always wanted to play with home-grown hops. So I ordered both Nugget and Willamette plants. Before they get here I'll have to decide if I want to just grow them as summer privacy screening on the fence and treat the hops flowers as a bonus, or set up a trellis system designed for efficient harvesting of the flowers. I've thought about growing them up a string outside the south side of the chicken pen to a pole just inside to give the chickens some more summer shade, or maybe I'll design a hops arbor. Aries is pretty good at figuring out how to make my design sketches a reality, and we've got quite a bit of salvaged wood for building projects.

Very ambitious plans! Do you think the Goji berries can take the heat? I thought they were original from Tibet (or some other very cold and elevated place that hardly knows summer). Keep posting about their progress -- I"m interested in how they will fare in this country.
- March 24, 2009
I too am looking forward to hearing how the goji berries do, I've never learned much about them as I've just not seen them grow yet, but plants seem to have quite a will to live and survive, so it might amaze you :-)
How is the dwarf blueberry Northland? I have ordered that and the Northblue too, and know nothing about their "care and feeding" - tips?

Welcome to the largest Sequim Real Estate Blog with over 2,000 articles.

Washington luxury homes are some of the most extraordinary deals in this market anywhere in the United States, but luxury homes in Washington and on the Olympic Peninsula seem to be the best kept secret. Billionaires and millionaires have been busy buying luxury homes around some of the elite areas of the country, and wealthy investors are buying homes by the dozen in Las Vegas and in key locations in Arizona.
The super wealthy International buyers are snapping up mansions in the U.S. at bargain prices with the market down and with the U.S. dollar down. Internet investor Yuri Milner paid $100 million for a Northern California mansion recently, and other foreign billionaires are buying mansions in Florida. "International buyers purchased an estimated $82 billion worth of U.S. homes in the 12 months ended on Mar. 31, a 24 percent increase from the previous 12 months, the National Association of Realtors reported in May." [See Russians Prop Up Luxury Housing Market]
The Olympic Peninsula and the Sequim area, including Sequim Bay, Discovery Bay, and around the Strait of Juan de Fuca, are relatively unknown areas for the super wealthy. This means that the demand for Washington luxury homes is low around the Strait and a gorgeous water front or water view home can be bought at the lowest prices in decades. While this is unfortunate for sellers who are now taking a loss on the sale of their Washington luxury home, it is definitely the find of a lifetime for the buyer who can afford to buy a luxury home now.
You can have fun looking at some of the most incredible Washington luxury homes on the Olympic Peninsula and around Sequim, Washington right here at Washington Luxury Homes for Sale.

I am an experienced real estate buyer, but I am not from the Sequim area. I am somewhat flexible, realistic, but also particular. So the question was, "how do you choose the RIGHT real estate agent?"
I made my appointment with Chuck on a Sunday morning in March, 2013. He showed me 5 houses. Every house he showed me was within my parameters! I was amazed: a real estate who listened, did his research, and didn't waste my time showing me houses I would never buy! I made an offer a few days later. That was the easy part…
Buying a house is always a stressful time in life. Advice to Buyers: choose an agent who is competent, communicates well, and has exceptional follow-up and follow-through! You will spend a lot of time with your agent during the process. Choose someone likable. Go with your gut. I got to know Chuck during the process, and he's a great guy!
You need an agent who is competent to handle and help you negotiate the issues that come up during disclosure, home inspection, appraisal, etc. Chuck's competence is superb! I got truly professional, sound, straightforward advice.
Chuck's communication skills are exceptional: phone, email, fax. He has a wonderful ability to stay "on-point" with what is actually important and doesn't lead you astray on issues that aren't so important.
Chuck's turn-around time on questions, issue resolution, etc. was virtually always within 24 hours. He follows-up, follows-through. He does what he says he will do timely. This relieves a lot of Buyer stress!
Having a difficult time finding the right agent? Simplify your life! Choose Chuck Marunde. I did. [Name withheld by request]

A long ago it was reported about a new film about the 15th-century Transylvanian Blood Countess Erzsebet Bathory, to star and be directed by actress Julie (THE LEGEND OF LUCY KEYES) Delpy.
Now word has come down that the movie, currently known as THE COUNTESS, will finally get rolling this summer in Eastern Europe. Co-starring with Delpy are Radha (PITCH BLACK) Mitchell, Ethan Hawke and Vincent (TROUBLE EVERY DAY) Gallo, and shes also producing with Matthew Chausse and HOOD OF HORRORs Christopher Tuffin and Martin Shore. The film will focus on the true facts regarding Bathory, who bathed in the blood of murdered girls in an attempt to retain her youth, as opposed to previous features that extrapolated more literal vampire tales out of them.

Heavy-handed fantasy set in the Deep South, from a hip young novelist (Ray in Reverse, 2000, etc.).
A young man trying to uncover the mysteries of his birth is one of the best premises in this business, and that's what Wallace gives us. Thomas Rider knows he was born 18 years ago in the boondocks town of Ashland, Alabama (scene of Wallace's debut, Big Fish, 1998), and he knows that his mother Lucy died bringing him into this world—but that's about it. So, with the encouragement of his girlfriend Anna, he sets off for Ashland by himself to talk to the folks there and see what he can find out. His mother didn't live in Ashland very long, apparently, and moved there only in order to look after a dilapidated house that her father had bought as an investment. Thomas talks to all the townsfolk who might have known Lucy (real-estate agent, innkeeper, village idiot, carpenter, etc.) and learns in short order that Ashland was (and is) a deeply strange place. Once famous as the "Watermelon Capital of the World," it hasn't had a watermelon crop since Lucy Rider died in childbirth. What does one have to do with the other? Apparently what assured the success of the town's crops was an annual fertility rite in which the oldest male virgin in Ashland would be deflowered during a full moon in a watermelon patch. It seems that Lucy, when she moved to town, objected vehemently to this practice—and attempted to sabotage the rite by deflowering the chosen victim herself before the ceremony could take place. In the course of his inquiries, Thomas finds out who his father was, but that comes as something of an anticlimax, frankly, to learning the much weirder tale of his birthplace.
For a fable, Wallace strikes a completely wrong tone, narrating his tale in short, ponderous, testimony-like recollections by various townsfolk. The result: heavy, pompous, and dull.
