Installing IIS 5.x
Installing AxCMS_Sample IIS directories
About IIS 5
The IIS Versions designed for workstations (that is IIS5 in Windows 2000 Professional and IIS5.1 in Windows XP Professional) have limited functionality as compared with their server versions (IIS5 on Windows 2000 Server and IIS6 on Windows .NET Server). This limited functionality relates, for example, to a maximum of 10 concurrently handled HTTP requests, the possibility of running a single Web site only, lack of host IP-based access control list, no Connection Limit extension. Therefore, IIS workstations are not suitable for serving up fully functional web sites - this limitation continually triggers the irritating "403 Too many users" message, despite the fact that the logs show that there are fewer than 10.
Before begin, make sure you have your Windows installation CD. If you received your computer from an OEM who did not provide you with an installation CD, contact them to find out where on your computer the original install files are stored.
Installing ASP.NET 2.0
AxCMS.net 9 has been developed for .NET Framework Versions 3.5 SP1. There is no such application type in IIS because ASP.NET 3.5 is enhancement of ASP.NET 2.0 and it is still based on the ASP.NET 2.0 core fundamental. So it is possible only to install ASP.NET 2.0 in IIS that you should do.
Type in command prompt window (start - run - cmd)
Try to open http://localhost If you are succeeded with installation you will see Under Construction page as below:
Automated Installation
C:\Projects\AxCMS_Sample\Resources_Sample\Deploy folder contains CreateIIS.bat script which you can use for automated creation/recreation of IIS Virtual Directories. All you need before is installed IIS 5 and configured ASP.NET that was described above.
If you get errors (not warnings) during the install, proceed with manual installation that is described below.
Creating Virtual Directories
Open Internet Information Services (IIS) from Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools and create following virtual directories in the default web site on your computer:
Virtual directories must point to the folders with the same names under the root folder.
Directory Security
Configuration of directory security depends on whether you want to use Active Directory integration or not.
If not, you must let anonymous access for IIS. The AxCMS.net uses its own user-authentication based on HTML-Forms-authentication. In some operations systems (e.g. Windows 2000) anonymous access is allowed per default, in some other (e.g. Windows XP, Windows 2003) not. Please allow anonymous access to Management System, to Live System and to Publish Service.
If you want to use Active Directory Integration, enable Integrated Windows Authentication, and disable Anonymous access (if anonymous access is enabled, Integrated Windows Authentication is ignored). Active Directory is only relevant for Management System. For the Live System and PublishService Anonymous Access is necessary.
You find these options in Internet Service Manager under "Directory Security".
Microsoft .NET Framework
AxCMS.net 9 has been developed for .NET Framework Versions 3.5 SP1. There is no such application type in IIS because ASP.NET 3.5 is enhancement of ASP.NET 2.0 and it is still based on the ASP.NET 2.0 core fundamental. So you should choose ASP.NET 2.0 as runtime environment.
Custom Extension
The mapping for your page extension is entered in IIS (at Home Directory / Configuration).
You can define this extension yourself. Then your pages are called for example http://company/Homepage.Sample. You have to enter the extension for the two applications AxCMSweb_Sample and AxCMSwebLive_Sample.
Easiest way is to copy aspnet_isapi.dll path from *.aspx handler.
The checkbox "Check that file exists" must not be checked as the files doesn't really exist respectively the files will be created on-the-fly by the CMS HttpHandler.
HINT: Be careful in changing proposed extension ".Sample" to your custom extension. Then you must also change extension in ALL configs and run StartCreate.bat once again, that pages in cms are created with new extension.
Note: There is a bug in this dialogue within the IIS, which does possibly not permit to press the OK button. Should you come across it close the dialogue and then open it again. Enter the path to the aspnet_isapi.dll, enter the extension and click the OK button. In this sequence it works.
Please map your custom extension to aspnet_isapi.dll of Framework 2.0.
Set default document
Please ensure that default documents are allowed and that default.aspx as entry exists for both AxCMSweb_Sample and AxCMSwebLive_Sample.
Templates directory
The Management System and the Live System have to access the custom development (AxCMSTemplates_Sample). Therefore it is needed to create virtual directories "templates" that point to folder "AxCMSTemplates_Sample".
Under AxCMSweb_Sample and AxCMSwebLive_Sample create a virtual subdirectory templates pointing to the folder AxCMSTemplates_Sample. Repeat these procedures under AxCMSweb_Sample/publish and AxCMSwebLive_Sample/publish (so you have 4 virtual directories templates all pointing to the folder AxCMSTemplates_Sample).
Remove Web-Application from these virtual directories.
NOTE: If you setup AxCMS_PremiumSample and get 403 error after the setup while clicking "banner" or "recommend page" module, you may need to tick also Run scripts (such as ASP) for templates Virtual Directory under the Live Environment.

2. Expand Web Sites tree and navigate appropriate AxCMS site(s). In our case it is "Default Web Site" Right click on the site name and select "Properties", see figure below:
3. In the Properties dialog click the "HTTP headers" from the upper menu and there "File Types".

Christa McAuliffe, the teacher aboard the space shuttle Challenger, was buried here today in a private family service.
A Roman Catholic service at the Calvary Cemetery in Concord was conducted by the Rev. James Leary, her cousin who married her to Steven McAuliffe in 1970, said Michael Callahan, a family spokesman.
Mrs. McAuliffe, a 37-year-old mother of two, and the six other crew members were killed Jan. 28 when the Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after it was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
''The family conveys its deep gratitude to all who respected its privacy in these moments,'' Mr. Callahan said in a statement after the service.
Mrs. McAuliffe, who was born in Boston and grew up in Framingham, Mass., taught social studies at Concord High School before her selection last July from 10,000 applicants for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Teacher in Space program. She was to have been the first ordinary citizen to fly in space.
Two of the Challenger astronauts, Comdr. Michael J. Smith of the Navy and Francis R. Scobee, are to be buried later this month at Arlington National Cemetery. The others are to be cremated or buried in their hometowns.Continue reading the main story

Everybody's Nuts Pistachios have been rebranded and are now Wonderful Pistachios.
Friend of Go Dairy Free, Janelle of Talk of Tomatoes gave Wonderful Pistachios a try and let us know what she thought…
I love them because of their branding. So few foodstuffs impress me when it comes to creative marketing, but this company is dedicated to giving pistachios their [fun]day in the sun. Remember Cracker Jacks? When I was a kid, it was all about the sailor icon and the cute little message inside. Or the baseball cards with their flat stick of gum, so you could enthusiastically chew gum while sifting through new cards.
Tasting Notes for Wonderful Pistachios
I love companies that go out of their way to impress people. I could shake their hand; but they would probably rather I eat their pistachios. And that really is the point: for me to taste-test their pistachios and give you my two cents. And, if you know me, you know that means including the palates of my family. My Junior High boys and all their lofty opinions. So here goes:
Roasted No Salt Pistachios
These are the chocolate chip cookie variety. Have you ever heard that phrase? They are good, they are plain, and they appeal to most. Once you start adding things to the chocolate chip cookies—think raisins, oatmeal, pecans—then not as many people prefer them. But a smaller group of people will like it that much more. Which is why you make more flavors to be favorites of smaller groups. Since I am one of those who prefer the chocolate chip cookie PLUS, I also like nuts PLUS, and won't be bothered to buy these plain pistachios again. Especially since I have these other flavors to choose from. Survey says: good but not terribly interesting.
Roasted With Salt Pistachios
The salt takes it up a notch, for those of us who like salt. Good—especially for those who don't like the extras—but to us, not terribly interesting.
Salt and Pepper Pistachios
Wonderful, and will buy again. For three reasons: 1. our family loves Salt & Pepper Kettle chips, and well, this offers the same dynamic flavor with a lot more health (nuts or chips, nuts or chips… Nuts!). 2. Yesterday I discovered they sell big bags of them at Costco, and 3. they are perfect for school lunches.
More fun information on pistachios:
- I really liked this site (clean and well-organized, full of good info): Pistachio Health
- Here is a list of articles that discuss the heart and health benefits of pistachios
- Recycle the shells to replace missing game pieces, grind up as mulch and/or put in the bottom of flower pots for drainage.
The Facts on Wonderful Pistachios
Certifications: Wonderful Pistachios are Certified Kosher and Non-GMO Verified.
Dietary Notes: By ingredients, Wonderful Pistachios are dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, vegetarian, and paleo-friendly. Nonetheless, always read the ingredient statement and check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. Processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.

text: So, I have always been terrified of death, ever since I was a little kid. Well, now I am in my twentys and it always pops into my mind and when it does I have small panic attacks. Sometimes it will keep my up all night just worrying about what happens after we die. Sometimes it even makes me cry because. I just don't want to die and I can't face it. Would therapy help me overcome my fear of death, or is it just something that I need to deal with myself and just get over it?

Grandmom of Smile
We recently shifted to Kuwait since my husband took a new job and thus began a whole new journey of, (I wouldn't say adventures as it sounds very "fairytale like"), little incidents that make our life a whole.
As I arrived here and entered my new home i obviously had little idea of my whereabouts, but knowing that I had a husband who cared about little details, I never had apprehensions or fears related to what kind of a place I'm living in, what kind of people lived in this building or how will I get along with them. I just got comfortable as soon as I stepped in.
In a couple of days I understood the location of my building and as I had anticipated, its location was perfect. It was away from the hustle bustle of the main road and yet, near everything. Everything that I needed was at a walking distance from our place. The school in which we planned to put our son in, a good hospital, a mosque, a community hall that held community gatherings every Friday, a vegetable store, a pharmacy, a gym, a baqalah , an Indian restaurant, Arabic restaurant, even a spa and a rent a car store! Talk about convenience!!
Anyway, our son got an admission in the school that we wanted after clearing his test but since everything was so new I had a little bit of an insecurity availing the services of the school bus. So, we decided to pick and drop him ourselves for the time being since it was so close to our home. The morning duty of dropping was my husband's and the afternoon duty of picking him up came to me.
And so began my daily little experiences of incidents that I never thought would affect me in anyway, but they did.
I strapped on the baby carrier on my waist and put my 5 month old baby in it and started towards school daily. On my way one day, I came across an old Iranian lady just outside my building. Of course at first it was just a glance, then another day when we saw each other again we exchanged smiles. Then again, we bumped into each other on our own floor hallway and came to know that we were immediate neighbors. We laughed looking at each other as if to say that all this while we were just adjacent to each other and yet were unaware. We met several times after that, sometimes in the afternoon when I was on my way to school, sometimes in the evening when we were going somewhere…. and our conversations were special…not in a lovely kind of way, but in a funny kind of way, that is to say it was half Arabic, half English, hand gestures, facial expressions and I think a little of Persian too!!
She used to say in arabic "why do you take the baby to school? Leave him with me. There is so much traffic on the road, very dangerous", or "why don't you buy a pram, this baby carrier looks dangerous"…and mind you…I managed to gather all this by the following words only.." lesh walad…… iscool.. saiyyaaraa…hand gestures of speeding cars, ana khauf!! Kida maafi koiyees hand gestures of baby in the carrier…lesh anta maafi…something something.. hand gestures of pushing a pram. And I replied, "ana buy (hand gestures of pushing a pram), baa'dain inshallahhh". I just loved the way she showed her concern and the way she tried to make herself be understood! She used to say something and as I gave her a confused look she again said something which I understood by her gestures of shrugging her shoulders and waving both hands in the air looking up as if to say I know I'm saying something but you are unable to understand and are thinking "what is she saying"???
The day we bought the pram, coincidentally, she was the first one to see it as we brought it into the elevators. She was coming out and we were getting in. She gave a huge smile and said "mabroook mashalllahh".
As days passed, we chatted often on our ways and as winter came she stopped coming out so much. One very cold afternoon as I came out of my apartment, she at once opened her door. It seemed as though she was waiting for me to come out. As soon as she saw me, she held herself with both hands and took a shivery deep breath in and said "very coooldh, jeeb babyyy"…then gesturing with her forefinger rubbing under her nose making a frowning face she held out her hands to take the baby….obviously, I understood she wanted me to leave the baby with her as it was very cold and it might cause a runny nose and he might catch a cold or get sick. At first I was a little hesitant as had never left my son with anyone before, but as I saw her looking lovingly towards him and getting anxious to take him in her arms, I gave in. I handed him over to her, ran back to my apartment, brought a bottle of milk just in case, gave it to her and hurried over to the school.
On my way, there was an automatic bounce in my step. Trying to walk, wanting to run, doing something in between- not walking normally, not running either…just to get over with my errand as soon as possible and get back to my baby as fast as I could.
When I got back, I was out of breath and had almost made my elder son run all the way so that he could keep up with me. I rang her bell and she came to it instantly. There was a huge smile on her face which was kind of gratifying for me. It showed she was having a good time and the baby hadn't been crying or bothering her. In fact, she told me that he was actually smiling at her when she jiggled her rosary in front of him. It was quite obvious she was having a good time.
As I made a quick scan around her apartment I saw framed pictures of children kept on top of her T.V. stand. Everything around seemed dusty, but those frames were shiny! The whole apartment seemed as though it wasn't much cared for. There was one cozy corner cleared from bags of stuff that were pushed into corners of the room, where I guessed she sat and watched tv, a very small kitchen, and a cozy bedroom with a window overlooking the street below. She took me to her bedroom where he was lying quietly and took her seat right next to him and continued playing with him. She then asked his name. I told her "Ahmed". All of a sudden her face lit up even more, she seemed ecstatic and started gushing, raising her hands and bringing them back to her chest she said loudly "oooo walllaaahhh…ana walad Ahmad!!, ana walad Ahmad!!oooooo…mashalllahhhh" and kissed the baby. She then held my hand and took me to the tv room and pointed over to the little children in one of the frames and told me that they were her children. A boy named Ahmad, and a girl. I came to know that they both were now married and were now settled in "Miyaameee" (Miami). She pointed to another picture of a very sweet little girl and I understood her to be her granddaughter, her son's daughter.
I asked her why hadn't she gone along with her kids, and she answered that she didn't like it there much. At least that is what I could read from her expressions, and that she was comfortable here. Even though her expression was of disgust, I could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She told me her husband died a few years ago and she now lived here alone and then said a lot of things that I wasn't able to understand, but what I could understand was that she was miserable and sad and lonely. She stood at her bedroom window and pointed out at the cars that drove off from the street and counted them. She was trying to tell me how she passed her time, looking out her window, seeing other people, strangers walking, cars running, some pigeons flying. As I felt her loneliness inside me I couldn't repel a lump in my throat.
I gathered myself quickly and gave a huge smile as I could find no other way to cheer her up. She also snapped back and lifted the baby and gave him to me. We said our goodbyes and she handed over a packet full of chocolates to my elder one. He gave her his big "happy face" expression and thanked her profoundly. At that moment, she seemed happy. I felt a sense of relief that even though for a brief period of time, I was able to make her smile and that we were able to give her some moments of companionship to her otherwise solitary life.
As I came back to my place, I experienced an immense amount of discomfort. I started having random thoughts of what I would do if I had to let go of my sons in order for them to lead better lives elsewhere. How would I ever be able to bear to live without my children? Or how would I manage a life without my husband around? And then my thoughts went over to my parents. How my parents had sacrificed their entire lives for us. Having lived separately for years so as to support us financially and let us have a better education and better lives. My sense of gratitude towards them deepened immensely. Not a day goes by when I don't thank my lord for having blessed me with a complete family. Loving parents, an awesome brother, a caring husband and the apple of my eyes, my two sons are all that made me who I am today, a complete woman- a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. They are my strength and I know that they will always be there for me, even if not physically around, their emotional support is all that I need to face the world.
I closed my eyes and prayed….I prayed that my neighbor and I always have that strength in us till the end.

text: I am sure there are many people who like to collect things, be it music, books, games, camera lenses. I am one such person, as I have collected many DVDs/Blu-rays, books, camera lenses in my time. Now the world of Pokemon is about completing certain missions, but also about finding and collecting different Pokemon during the journey. Hence about over 3 weeks ago, I had finally took the plunge and subscribed to the Pokemon Bank. This would allow my daughters and I to store the Pokemon that we have caught while playing the various Pokemon games – Diamond, Black, X, Alpha Sapphire, Omega Ruby (which I had bought for my daughter so she had something to look forward to after she completes all her GCSE exams) and Moon.

Keith Meyers is correct that there is a flying Connie in Australia (Connie down under, Oct. 21 issue), and the Save-A-Connie in Kansas City, however he is misinformed about where the rest of the flying Connies live.
The MATS Connie, N494TW, was purchased by Korean Airlines about a year ago and was flown to its museum at Cheju Island, Korea, in April. It is airworthy and lived at Marana Regional Airport near Tucson for about 20 years and was flown regularly on tours throughout the U.S. I flew that airplane for 10 years.
One of the MATS Connie's sister-ships, N749RV, was flown to the Dutch Aviodome Museum near Amsterdam a few years ago and underwent an extensive restoration to flying condition. See Aviodome.nl.
The Camarillo Connie, N73544, was based at Camarillo, Calif., for many years and flew regularly to airshows and events in the western U.S. Two years ago it was purchased by a Swiss Group and went to Basel, Switzerland. I have flown that airplane for nine years and have flown it extensively for the past two years in Europe. For information on the Breitling Super Constellation, SuperConstellation.org.
Another MATS Connie sister-ship is the Columbine II, N9463, and is also based at Marana Regional Airport. It was flown to Marana from Santa Fe a couple of years ago by Clint Fraser and me. It is not flown regularly but is airworthy and may be for sale. Ike's Columbine One is on display at the Pima Air Museum at Tucson only 25 miles from his Columbine II.
Gen. MacArthur's "Bataan" N422NA is displayed at the Planes of Fame Museum at Valle, Ariz. It has been restored to flying condition.
Super Constellation N105CF is also owned by the Swiss Super Constellation Flyers and is currently at Marana Regional Airport. It is partially restored and may one day find its way to Switzerland.
The MATS Connie, Columbine II, The Dutch Connie, Bataan and Columbine One came off the line at Burbank within the same month in 1948 as their Air Force numbers are 48-0609, 48-0610, 48-0612, 48-0613 and 48-0614. Most flew the Berlin Airlift in 1948-49. In fact, the MATS Connie was flown to Berlin in 1998 for the 50th anniversary celebration of the airlift. I was there.
Thanks for a fine aviation publication.

Across the United States, Idaho is typically known for two things: Potatoes, and its conservative political tendencies.
Indeed, in 2010, only Wyoming bested the Gem State in terms of "redness." So, suffice to say, Idaho is no Maryland.
However, it turns out the two states do have something in common: Both are looking at potential big increases in their respective cigarette taxes as legislators get ready for the 2012 session.
As previously noted here, a push is being made in Maryland to raise the state's tobacco tax by $1 per pack.
Now, Idaho Rep. Dennis Lake, who is the Chair of Idaho's House Revenue and Taxation Committee, is planning to try again for a cigarette tax hike he pushed last year — with no success. Lake is reportedly looking to raise the state cigarette tax by $1.25 per pack. Proponents claim the proposed tax hike could bring in more than $50 million a year in new revenue, though other states have not always met revenue targets associated with cigarette tax increases.
What would any new revenue be spent on? Based upon reporting by the Idaho Reporter, that remains murky at best. Lake evidently has "no definite plan for spending the money, but says it won't go to the general fund because some lawmakers don't want the government to have any more money than is absolutely necessary."

From the Amazon bestselling writer of 'The Knight Trilogy' comes the stand alone novel fans have been waiting for. 'Beautiful Freaks' is a decadent tapestry of all things fairytale, dark and murderous.
Between these pages you will find yourself transported back in time to the high Gothic, Victorian London.
"Fans of Tim Burton will love this book! It's totally, darkly delicious." (The Murder House)
The year is 1899 and both the century and the Queen are dying.
As the London populace is gripped by a terrifying series of paranormal murders, eighteen year old Kaspian Blackthorne finds himself on a decadent journey of self discovery.
Victorian London is a place where appearance is everything, but sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
Behind the grand houses, carriages and silks, London is a dark labyrinth of sorrow and violence. Amongst the gambling dens, dancehalls, and brothels you'll find Number 7, known to its members as Eve's; the most exclusive club in London, made infamous for its 'Palace of Beautiful Freaks'.
Each exhibit has a history, each their own unique story.
There's only one rule at Eve's ... strictly no touching.
As the London populace is gripped by a terrifying series of paranormal murders, eighteen year old Kaspian Blackthorne finds himself on a decadent journey of self discovery.

Each exhibit has a history, each their own unique story.
There's only one rule at Eve's ... strictly no touching.
This book reads like a collection of short stories, interwoven with the main thread of a murder mystery. We meet Kaspian Blackthorne, as he enters adulthood, and finds his life completely changed from the sheltered life he's known thus far. Part of the reason for that change is Evangeline, the woman who haunts his every thought. Along the way, we meet and get to know the acts who perform at The Palace of Beautiful Freaks. And each of them has their own horrific story to tell....
I love the imagery and ambiance of Beautiful Freaks. It's even got a bit of steampunkiness thrown in! By the end of the book, you're not sure who, exactly, is the 'bad guy'. You can decide for yourself.

You can find out more about Katie and her Knight Trilogy series at the official website http://www.theknighttrilogy.com/ and http://www.beautifulfreakskatiemjohn.com/
I had a chance to ask Katie a few questions, so grab a cup of tea and join us:
What inspired you to write your first book?
I have always been a romantic. My teenage walls were plastered with pre-raphaelite paintings and I spent many hours of my youth just sort of floating about (yep, I was an odd, geeky child) When I was given the window of opportunity for some time out (I was on maternity leave with my first daughter) I seized the time to FINALLY get down to writing the story I'd been carrying around with me for the previous ten years. I was very fortunate that both babies have been very good and slept a lot, meaning lots of time for writing.
What obstacles did you encounter going the self-published route VS the traditional route?
With the trad route I got totally stonewalled by the catch 22 situation that previously unpublished writers are often either not invited to submit work to agents / publishers. I sent out over 50 packs to traditional agents and by the time six months of 'we love the idea but there's no market' rejection letters, I decided to go off and build a profile for myself. I sort of fell into indie publishing on a spontaneous whim - it was the best whim I've had. Clearly there is a market for my work and as an indie publisher I get a much greater slice of the profits from the sales. Going indie has allowed me complete autonomy over my work and allowed me the freedom to experiment and submit to all kinds of different projects. I love the close bond between indie writer and fanbase - it's personal and dedicated fans and supporters become really good friends. The frustration is the marketing budget - it's very much 'slowly, slowly catchy monkey' in the indie route - despite a few high profile cases.
When you write, which comes first: The character development or the idea for the novel?
For me, my work is always character driven. I'm a people watcher. I find humans completely fascinating. Vices, loves, passions, decisions etc. I have a love of Shakespeare for this very reason - he really understood the human condition. I think this is what I'm on a quest to explore in my own writing. I also 'live' with my characters whilst I'm writing their story. The best way to describe it is like being haunted.
Beautiful Freaks is almost like an anthology of short stories, which character's story was the first to present itself to you?
Kaspian's tale / character came to me first. He literally presented himself and then refused to leave. The story within a story that I love the most is Seraphina. It's a little bit whacky - but her character is so powerful.
If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? Hmm, really difficult. I get asked this question a lot and I always end up answering it differently depending on what mood I'm in and where I'm at. At the moment with NaNoWriMo looming and that I am going to be playing / reworking Shakespeare's Hamlet - it would have to be Shakespeare. It links back to the previous idea about character. However if I could have two, I'd quite like to have dinner with Amanda Hocking and discover how she really made a $1 million being an indie writer lol.
What book are you reading now?
I'm not. I'm too busy planning for NaNoWriMo but my next TBR pile book is Book 4 of The Game of Thrones series - which is totally brilliant.
What's your next project?
Next project is 'When Sorrows Come' - my NaNoWriMo piece based very loosely on Shakespeare's Hamlet and my own experiences of having a parent with severe mental health issues. It's not a fantasy novel - it's very real. I'm totally excited about it. I warn you now, it's going to be a complete heartbreaker. I don't write happy lol!
Thank you, Katie, for dropping by today, to talk about Beautiful Freaks. I look forward to reading When Sorrows Come - it sounds like a very personal project for you.

Well the end of the kids school year is FINALLY here. Since Kael and Pippa attend a British school here we are off the US school schedule by about 2 weeks and it has felt like a very very long school year. Not sure if I have mentioned before but when we left the US ..we left. We sold our house both of our cars and when we land in the US again we will literally have nothing! Exciting and scary at the same time. So we will jump right into house hunting and finding me a car to lug these childrens around in. There are SO many things I am excited about when I think about returning to the US. picking up the phone and calling my sister and best friends on the SAME TIME ZONE jumping in the car and driving to the library when I am in the mood for a new read actually smelling the pages of the book and holding it in my hand instead of reading it on my ipad. Diet Lemonade from Chic Fila being able to buy from cute companies easily on the internet exploring cities in and around Texas ( especially Chip and Joannas Silos in Waco ) so so much. There are however some amazing things here in China that I will miss also. First and mostly how safe it is, for the last couple of years we have literally been living in a bubble just listening to the horrific news that is happening in the US and we have not taken it for granted one bit. Coming home means turning on another switch with my senses way up. I will miss driving the Tuk Tuk, all the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, ordering groceries by texting the little lady at the store down the street and having them delivered in 10 minutes. I will miss watching the people here in their element so different than mine and getting a fancy massage for 20 dollars an hour. I will miss all the markets having clothes made , THE FLOWER MARKET, dumplings I will miss our ayi and our driver not their services so much as their presence in our day to day life and the relationship they have with my children. SO much SO SO much. So to ease all the bittersweetness that is going on in my head I made a awesome frozen rose to celebrate the start of summer in the Rogers household.
Frozen Rose
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 bottle of rose
1 lemon squeezed and its zest
1/3 cup lemonade
Directions :
Add water, sugar , lemon and lemonade to a pot and bring to a boil stirring to make sure that sugar dissolves.
Take Rose and place in a 9x13 pan and freeze for 3 hours.
Once Rose is firm scoop slush into a cup and add the simple syrup on top to taste garnish with a lemon and enjoy!
I added a splash of diet sprite to mine to give it a little fizzzz....

When I was growing up, we lived in a fairly small town that only had a couple of dentists. Our dentist was on the older side, and he was deaf. Numbing the mouth was not much in use in those days, and our dentist didn't believe in doing it. At that time, dentists also used the old drills that were run drive belts. They didn't drill, they grinded. It was very, very painful, particularly for a kid. Anyway, having a deaf dentist meant that he couldn't hear you shout out for him to stop so you could catch your breath. I hated going to the dentist. When I was around 14 or so, he finally died, and we went to a new dentist who believed in all the more modern stuff, such as pain killers.

Donald trump is a fantastic businessman. He is a billionaire several times over. In addition, he has thriving businesses internationally as well. However there is one home business opportunity that he has failed to buy out and control. It is not his fault, and I am not here to expose or make him feel bad, but the reason why he was unable to take advantage of this particular opportunity is because the owners of this opportunity; Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Tony Cupisz, Mike Cupisz, seen the level of success they could bring to this company without Donald's help.
What Made This awesome businessman want to buy this company out?
Basically speaking, this home business opportunity is 24 years old and was founded in the month of January. Some fun facts about this company is it allows entrepreneurs the opportunity to sell services that people use everyday like cell phone, home and automation, electricity, High-speed internet and cable, and a multitude of business services at a discounted price.
In return for eliminating the middle man and selling these services to the masses, you are awarded a healthy check every month for doing something just one time. As long as your customers pay their bills on time, you are going to be paid month after month, and year after year.
Now I am not here to fully promote this home business opportunity, I am here to just tell you how this opportunity works. As of today this opportunity is the 22nd fastest growing opportunity as it is in 24 countries on four major continents. This opportunity is also has no limits. What I mean by that is there is no limit to how many services you can sell and how many people you can introduce to this company as your partners.
Donald Trump so this amazing opportunity and as the clever investor he is, he tried to get in on the action but the CEO'S were not having it and allowed him to just be the spokesman for the company.
In 2005, when this company has been in existence for 12 years Donald trump seen that it was already featured in fortune magazine, Time magazine, home-business success magazine, USA today magazine and wall street magazine.
Is this type of opportunity the right fit for you?
The answer is yes and no. You as an individual can see success in this opportunity if you educate yourself properly and seek help from the experts in this industry. Luckily for you there are organizations that offer free report to the masses that further detail how to start on the right path on these type of businesses.

About Last Night 2014 movie via torrent
The About Last Night 2014 movie actually proves my little theory that there is a serious lack of new ideas in modern american movie industry because most of the ideas of new movies are actually quite old so now there are really lots of different remakes or just movies that are based on some old theatrical plays! So, About Last Night full movie is based on David Mamet's play called Sexual Perversity in Chicago which was made in 1974 and it is also a remake of the 1986 movie of the same name. Anyway, I don't think that you have seen that old movie or the play because I didn't even hear about it earlier and that's why I don't think that it will be less interesting for you to watch it especially if I say that this movie is going to be shown in the cinemas only in february of 2014 and still you are already able to download About Last Night movie torrent or to watch it online right now!
This movie is quite good romantic comedy-drama movie which is directed by Steve Pink who is best known for his work on such movies as Accepted and Hot Tub Time Machine! As for me, the cast of this movie doesn't really consist of some really big movie stars as there are in some new movies, for example - in Last Vegas 2013 movie! But there are still quite good and talented actors such as Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart, Joy Bryant, Regina Hall, Christopher McDonald and some others!
I think that this movie tells us the story about the surprising and sudden love and passion between people! But it's really hard to tell the real love from the passion and that's why there are some really dramatic moments in this movie that are actually really important for the plot and that make this movie more interesting and realistic! Here you will be able to see young people who actually met in some bar and everything seemed to finish in a one night stand but the next morning it turned out that they actually have some strong feelings to each other so they decided to try to build some relationship together still understanding that first they need to get to know each other better!

A witness to the crash of a light rail train into a car Saturday night said he had "never seen anything like it in my life."
"I am surprised I did not go into shock, and I think I was close, because this is something I have never seen before," said witness Josh Withers.
Withers is 17 years old and will be a senior at Eden Prairie High School this fall. He said he was a passenger in a car at the traffic light at University Avenue and Eustis Street in St. Paul where the accident occurred about 9 p.m. Saturday.
RELATED: Green Line Reopens After Train Collides with Vehicle
Withers said he heard a "loud bang" and when he looked up, he saw parts of the car flying through the air. He said the car, wrapped around the front of the light rail train, came to a stop about 10 feet from the car in which Withers was a passenger.
Withers said he then got out of the car and rushed to the scene, where he tried to help a female passenger attempting to get out of the damaged vehicle.
"And, at this point, I notice that the front of the car, the engine, is starting to catch on fire and my initial thought is 'pick up the girl and move her away from the car,' because I do not know if it is going to explode," Withers said.
After the woman was pulled from the burning car, Withers said he then turned to help the driver.
"And I could hardly see him because he was engulfed by the car," Withers said. "It had sort of caved in around him and he was unconscious, and I don't know if he's alive; and looking at him, I thought he wasn't alive," Withers said.
Withers said it was the most traumatic thing he has ever witnessed.
"I kind of thought to myself, 'I just saw someone almost die right in front of my eyes,'" he said.
Metro Transit said three people were injured but did not have information on their conditions Sunday night. The driver of the car and his passenger were hospitalized, as was a third person who was riding on the light rail train.
Metro Transit says the cause of the crash is under investigation.

So this year for Sam's birthday I cheated. Hehehe. . . I had to plan two seperate parties because of our schedule and the fact that there was no way I would be able to entertain all of the kids Sam wanted to invite this year at my house. We now have preschool, playgroup, Kindergarten and church friends whose parties we attend and really want to have at our parties. So. . .
I went to Dairy Queen and got an Oreo Blizzard Cake for the swim party in our backyard.
Then I made R2D2 cupcakes for the bowling party. I don't know that they neccessarily looked like the little droid guy but Sam loved them and the kids recognized them. I think they look kind of cool when you see all of them together. (I have also made Death Star cupcakes with gray and black frosting before.)

Have a Party, Make a Cake!
Childhood = Birthday Parties!
I remember from my own kidhood how important birthdays are. More importantly, the parties. The biggest insult one little friend every dealt my son was when he got mad and said, "Oh yeah, I am not even inviting you to my birthday party!" Sam was devastated!!!
My advice when it comes to throwing a successful birthday bash is:
#1 Pick a theme
#2 Decorate a cake
#3 Throw in some children
#4 Mix together and don't forget the candles.
I am serious. As long as there is cake; square, round or of the cuppy kind with the appropriate number of burning sticks of wax, the kids are happy! Here are a few successes from our past:
This fairy cake was super easy. It is a double layer 10" round cake on the bottom and a double 8" cake on top of that. I used Wilton's Buttercream Frosting and a can of purple Spraymist foodcoloring. I was worried about mixing enough frosting of the color I wanted. If I mixed too little I would have to try and match the color. If I mixed too much I would have wasted frosting that I could have used for another color and I HATE MIXING FROSTING!!! So using the spray color made it super easy to just frost the cake with white and then spray on my color:-) Then I just made ivy with a round writing tip and a leaf tip. Last of all we just stuck on the fairy figurines that we picked up at the Disney Store. I didn't get any pictures of the inside but I used food coloring to turn the yellow cake into all of our favorite fairy colors bright pink, purple and lime green.
Nothing like a cup cake with LOTS of fluffery frosting! Even better when there is purple stardust sprinkles and princess candies.
This is a take off of the "Barbie Cake" that we have all seen with the giant Cinderella Dress.
I pulled this cake off by using my Pampered Chef Classic 8 Cup Batter Bowl.
Any boxed cake mix can be used. Just mix it up and put it into the batter bowl that is either greased with flour or sprayed with Baker's Choice (oil spray with flour). Fill the bowl 2/3 full and bake at 350F for about 25 minutes or until the middle bounces back when you lightly press with your finger. (This eliminates dry overbaked cakes or having to stick a toothpick or knife into the top of your cake.)
I put the domed cake ontop of a double layer 9" round cake. I frosted the domed cake, then I pushed Aerial down into the center of the cake and when the frosting was still fresh and sticky I covered it in brown sugar to look like sand. Her fin is made of green frosting that I piped on with a large writing tip and built up in layers. I then frosted the ocean and added a little bit of seaweed and some bubbles onto the sides. Flounder and Sebastian were from a playdough toy set that I had purchased earlier. It was the perfect cake for my two year old that was obsessed with "Merdaids" and singing ah ah ah ah everywhere she went.
Another fun idea with barbie cakes is to use the Pampered Chef Prep Bowl Set (each one cup) prepared just like the batter bowl to bake your cupcakes (350F for about 20 min. using the same finger test mentioned above) and then use Polly Pockets in each cup cake. Have frosting bags or the Pampered Chef Decorator Bottle Set ready for all of the lucky party goers to decorate their own individual "Barbie Cake." (I always have orders going in if you need the bowls.)
The Castle cake was awesome! We celebrated that year in a real castle with Sir Samuel Tyler of Parks. All of our little guests came in knight and princess costume ready to hunt the treasure steeling dragon. Of course we had to have a cake that would properly commemorate the occasion.
The castle cake was a two layered 10" on top of a double layered 12". I used half of a cake cone as the turret decorated with frosting with an upside down sugar cone on top. A toothpick with a little flag fit nicely into the bottom of the sugar cone. Everyone wanted a peice with the turret. I only halfway mixed the grey frosting so that it gave the cake a marbles stone look.
Okay, Now this is where I share my biggest birthday cake secret and it is spelled C-O-S-T-C-O.! When life is crazy and I am having way too much fun building pinatas and homemade dragon eggs for the upcoming festivities, or I need to feed an army and the little cake I made is just not going to cut it, I order up a yummy cake from the friendly neighborhood wholesale warehouse. Then I get creative. We have had a couple Star Wars cakes, a mermaid cake, a Hello Kitty Cake and a princess easter cake to name a few. I just add pictures, toys or sometimes I get fancy and do a basket weave with roses. It cuts cake making time down a few hours and feeds 50 for under $15.00.

- Sub Pop
Back in the summer of 2010, London's Still Corners caught a few ears with their single "Endless Summer", a spooky slice of atmosphere that proved, amidst that year's beach-fixated blog mindset, that you could still get away with using the word "summer" in a song title if you had the goods to back it up. A year later, they signed to Sub Pop and released their debut LP, Creatures of an Hour, a scattershot album that mined a strain of distant, narcotized cool previously embraced by acts like Deerhunter and Broadcast (of which the latter's influence on modern indie, seemingly, looms larger with every passing year).
"Fireflies", the A-side to Still Corners' new single in anticipation of their second album (out in the spring of 2013), is no less beholden to the past-- only, this time, the band's drawing from the spangly, huge-sounding sounds of 1980s synth-pop. The change suits them well, as it's their most immediate and starry-eyed song to date, with Tessa Murray's multi-tracked vocals navigating their way through gorgeously empty terrain dotted with cymbal washes and gently pulsing synth tones.
[from the "Fireflies" b/w "Hearts of Fools" single; out this fall on Sub Pop]

How to Measure Gold Investment Performance?
One factor that you may need to know is how to measure your gold investment performance, and this is a question many investors have tried to answer in various ways. One method is fairly simple and easy to follow if you are buying gold bullion.
Initially, you need to determine a time period for analysis, is it a month, quarter, year or a decade? Next, determine how much you have paid for the gold bullion at the beginning of the time measure, and include any dealer premiums and other costs and fees necessary to buy or sell the gold, whether it's bank storage fees or any other expenses you incurred with purchasing this investment. Next look at the market value of the metal you have invested in at the end of this term. Divide the current market price value by your initial investment and multiply this number by 100 to provide with percentage performance. This should give you an idea if your investment has made a profit or suffered a loss.
If you have a gold bonds investment or other gold investment funds then you can check your investment performance without too much hassle. Comparing the performance of your choice against the gold investment performance of other similar stocks or funds can help you determine whether your investing options did better or worse on average than the other choices. There are as many ways to compare gold investment performance as there are investors, and each will have their own ideas about how this should be done. You can research different methods that have been used and you will find hundreds or more of examples and ideas for these comparisons.
If you are worried about your gold investment performance, or you have just learned how to invest in gold recently and want to check yourself, you can do this many ways. There are multiple analysis methods using the Sharpe's, the Treynor's, the Jansen's, the Appraisal Measure, and many more to choose from. Once you find a method that is easy for you to use and that is effective then you should stick with it. Measuring your precious metals portfolio performance does not have to be complicated or involve pages of complex math formulas, you can do it in just a little time and with simple calculations instead.

*Carpenter's College Graduation
#All photo credits to Jenna, Campion College Photographer of the day.
December last year, our eldest son, *Carpenter graduated from College!!! He now proudly holds a Degree in Bachelor of Liberal Arts.
The Graduation ceremony opened with the Celebration of Mass, presided by the Bishop Emeritus of Parramatta and con-celebrated with the College chaplain and several local priests. Afterwards dignitaries, faculty and student representatives addressed the; Graduates, faculty, families and friends of the Graduates with the key address given by Miranda Devine.
Then the big moment when the graduates receive their degrees! Three years of study working towards this moment, this achievement! We are so proud of our lad! The application, diligence, perseverance and sheer work that went into achieving his degree, not only academically but financially also as he put himself through College.
We are proud of you Son! So very proud! xxx
Attending College is not all about academic growth and achievement, it is also a journey of self-discovery. Carpenter was young when he entered College, only seventeen and twenty on graduation day. During his three years at College he faced challenges in many areas, but the maturity he displayed, his innate kindness and his integrity as a Catholic gentleman awed and humbled us. He is a fine young man, one to be proud of indeed.
At College Carpenter meet a special young lady, *Rose. She is a beautiful young lady inside and out.
Rose had her own journey of self-discovery to navigate and challenges to surmount. She astounds and awes us with her poise, graciousness and charitableness, a special young lady indeed.
We were privileged that the whole family was able to attend and share in this day with Carpenter and Rose, Carpenter was well supported with not only us, but two uncles, Grandma and a childhood mate who travelled for hours to be there.
The future holds exciting possibilities and new paths to discover, our prayer for Carpenter is, that he continues to walk forth with the Lord, being all He wants him to be.

What does your smartphone cover case say about you?
Your smartphone home screen, like we say in our past report, is like a peep hole into your personality. The same could be said for the protective casing that you've chosen, which is also an identification of who you want to present yourself as. After the study we undertook about the various home screen stereotypes, it's now time to check out what your cover case has to say about your character. Whether you're the Playboy bunny teenie-bopper, the hipster, the hoity-toity swankster, the belt-holder type or mother nature's child, at the the end of the day, it's easy to recognize all of types. What does your smartphone case say about you?
Mother Nature's Child
You love freedom and like to keep it real, whether it be regarding hairy armpits or your smartphone! You love keep your phone ''au natural'' and cover-free because it just feels so much more ''organic''. Truth be told, you're the only type who actually really takes advantage of the headset's manufacturer design. According to your lifelong philosophy, you aren't high maintenance and that goes for your smartphone as well. Living on the edge is your motto. Who cares if it drops? That's what tape is for. At some point in time you can send your kids Rainbow, Star Dust and Unicorn to go work for you so that you'll have enough money to get the Samsung Galaxy....S16.
The Playboy Bunny Teen
You haven't yet reached the age of 18, but you're young, happy and live for today. Your passions include fake tans, looking absolutely fabulous all the time and Justin Bieber. Also, as a Paris Hilton mini-me, you are convinced that sticking rabbit ears, devil horns, penguin fins or bunny tails on your case will perfectly show off your own individual personality. If there's something that could describe you and your life, that would be ''YOLO'' or whatever other term is now all the rave.
At the moment, you're living your teen years to the motto of the Lana Del Rey Song ''Young and Beautiful'' but in three or four years when you look back at old pictures you will differently shake your head and say ''what was I thinking?'' By that time, your playboy bunny case will have landed in the garbage long ago.
The Retro Hipster
It's important for you show the world how ''oh so 90s'' you've remained (even if you were born in 2000+). That is precisely why you decided to deck yourself in retro technology and your phone looks more like a game boy, NES controller, a cassette or any of these praised objects that you cling on to for dear life. If your hair looks like you last washed it in the 90's and your pants are tight and full of holes as if mom bought them for you when the Backstreet Boys were cool, then shouldn't your expensive smartphone also need to play the part as well? I guess authenticity does have its limit after all.
The Hoity-Toity Swankster
For your smartphone case, it must absolutely look as if something died first because for you this signifies something deep, meaningful and of high-value. Whether it be the big anaconda, the American buffalo, the Bengal tiger or a baby robin, you aren't too choosy. And if there isn't an animal skin stuck to your phone, then you at least have some African diamonds from Wal-mart, sorry, Swarovski which are intricately sewn unto silk made from a million silk worms who had the honor to give up their lives for this noble cause. Thankfully, you aren't really that heartless like your case suggests since you actually only buy imitations. For the original stuff and the necessary material, you don't actually have enough money nor the callousness: that's your own little ''secret''.
The belt-holder guy
Order and efficiency is the end all and be all for this dude. If we could take a time machine back a few years when you were still a young lad, you already had your Nokia mobile phone strapped onto your belt for safe-keeping. At the time you felt like John Wayne when in front of the mirror practicing flipping out your phone from your belt to your ear in one sexy and smooth move. As other kids in the bus laughed about your Batman-like belt packed full with phone, Swiss army knife, pen set and first aid kit, you thought it was quite the handy-dandy nifty thing. At the time, you already felt a little too old to be cool. Now you're the CEO of a company and nobody can laugh at your awkward ways.

Obama opens door to ties with Myanmar
Nov. 18 - U.S. President Barack Obama opens door to new U.S. ties with Myanmar. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday (November 18) he saw "flickers of progress" in Myanmar and dispatched Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to visit the isolated country next month to explore new ties. Obama, in Indonesia for a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders, said he had spoken for the first time with Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi who told him she supported more U.S. engagement with the country also known as Burma. He said the release of political prisoners, relaxing of media restrictions and signs of legislative change in the past few weeks were "the most important steps toward reform in Burma that we've seen in years". Myanmar is now ruled by a civilian government after an election last year that was meant to hand over power after nearly five decades of military rule. Clinton's visit will be the first by a U.S. secretary of state for more than 50 years. She will travel to Yangon and the capital Naypyitaw and "explore whether the United States can empower a positive transition in Burma and begin a new chapter between our countries", Obama said.

Why We Need To Save The Palace
Stereophonics at The Palace, April 2010
Should it come as any surprise that another Melbourne music venue is at risk of closure? Over the past few years we've said goodbye to The East Brunswick Club, The Arthouse and The Tote [which was thankfully reopened], and now it seems that some greedy investors want to take The Palace from us as well. And it's not fair. I love The Palace. That venue has been the setting for some of my favourite live music memories. It's an incredibly important part of Melbourne's music scene, and without any suitable replacement, the loss of such a brilliant concert hall will damage our reputation as the music capital of Australia – not forgetting, of course, the Palace Theatre's historical significance.
The Palace Theatre was built in 1860 and served on and off as a performance space until the 1980s, when it became a nightclub. I may be just the slightest bit too young to have experienced the days of Metro, but I turned eighteen at the right time to watch the Palace's transformation into one of Melbourne's best music venues, after the Palace in St Kilda [a fairly ordinary place] burnt down. With its ornate interior and history as a theatre, The Palace is an excellent space for local and international bands to perform, but is somehow not protected as an historical landmark. While it's significantly smaller than Festival Hall, it's a far more pleasant venue for seeing live music [as it wasn't built as a boxing hall, for starters].
Kylie Minogue's Anti Tour at The Palace, March 2012
The size of The Palace is one of the reasons why it is a crucial part of the local music scene. Fitting in between the Forum's 1500 capacity, and Festival Hall's limit of 5445 people, the only other venue that is vaguely similar in size is The Palais in St Kilda, which with its strict seating arrangements has a completely different atmosphere which isn't suited to all performers. During sideshow season, The Palace, with its capacity of 1850, is the venue that the mid-sized bands play; those which are not quite big enough to fill Festival Hall, but are too big for The Corner or The HiFi Bar. It's hard enough for all of our local venues to accommodate sideshows during festivals like Splendour in the Grass. This year, Babyshambles and Passion Pit will all be playing sideshows at The Palace. Where would they go if the venue were to be torn down? During Splendour, Big Day Out, Soundwave, and the like, every music venue in town is booked up with sideshows. Losing another venue – particularly one with The Palace's unique capacity – would make these times of year even more difficult.
The Kooks at The Palace, January 2009
Every single one of Melbourne's music venues is important. I have a soft spot for all of them – even the abysmal Festival Hall – because of the memories and experiences that they all hold. The Palace is where Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs tried to throw me his drumstick and I ducked and shielded my face [an instinctive reaction]. At two separate shows, one year apart. The Palace is where I watched Johnny Borrell climb around the outside of the balcony, while security yelled at him to get down. The Palace is where Kylie Minogue chose to have her Anti-Tour, and I saw her perform songs that I never imagined I'd get to see live. No matter what the venue, live music memories are pretty special, and we need to keep the scene alive so that more memories like these can be created. The fact that The Palace is one of the better places in town to see a band just makes the thought of losing it even more devastating.
If The Palace is demolished, it'll be a sad day for Melbourne. Let's try and stop that from happening. The first thing that you can do is to like the Save the Palace Theatre – Melbourne facebook page that's already been set up by some thoughtful people. Next, ensure that you sign the petition that's been made by some other good people. But finally, and most importantly, keep seeing live music, and reminding everyone how important our local venues really are.
