Book Description (from Goodreads):
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war raging between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret bound of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Possessed bu a deadly beast Rhage is the most dangerous of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetites. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover-for inside him burns ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin. Owned by this dark side, Rhage fears the time when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him.
Mary Luce, a survivor of many hardships is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world and reliant to Rhage's protection. With a life-threatening curse of her own, Mary is not looking for love. She lost her faith in miracles years ago. But when Rhage's intense animal attraction turns into something more emotional, he knows that he must make Mary his alone. And while their enemies close in, Mary fights desperately to gain life eternal with the one she loves…
The Black Dagger Brotherhood books are on almost every list of must-read Paranormal Romance. A long time ago, I read Dark Lover, Wrath and Bella's book and the first installment in the series. I don't remember a lot about how I felt about Dark Lover but evidently, my feelings didn't reach the top of the spectrum because I never got around to book two. I've been toying with getting reacquainted with the Black Dagger Brotherhood for some time. What I couldn't decide was whether to reread Dark Lover. In the end, I ran across a list of books featuring wallflower heroines. Lover Eternal was on this list and I decided to stop angsting and start reading.
Sometimes I've read books and thought they were okay only to pick them up again and find that I didn't properly appreciate them the first time around. This was my experience with Georgette Heyer. I'd hardly started Frederica before I put it back down again. But years later, when I read and fell in love with Devil's Cub, I gobbled up most of Heyer's oeuvre, including Frederica. What I'm saying is that I try to keep an open mind about books that underwhelm me. Sometimes those books are better read at a later point in your life. This isn't true about all books, of course. It mainly happens with books that numerous people love and recommend but that I just couldn't get into. However. I'm glad that I didn't reread Dark Lover. Not because I hated Lover Eternal, but because I'm not particularly eager to keep going with the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Lover Eternal didn't appeal to me in any substantial way.
For those of you unfamiliar with the plot, Lover Eternal tells the story of Rhage and Mary Luce. Rhage is a member of the previously mentioned Black Dagger Brotherhood, a group of six warrior vampires that have sworn to protect the vampire race. All the warriors (except the king, Wrath, and Zsadist, whose name is an issue of its own) have names with extra h's in them: Rhage, Phury, Vishous, Rhevenge, Tohrment, Tehrror. I'm not really sure why, except that I think it's supposed to indicate how bad-ass they all are. All the brothers have issues, it seems, and Rhage's is a curse put upon him by the Scribe Virgin. Rhage's curse comes in the form of a beast that comes out when he's angry. The only ways that Rhage has found of dealing with the beast are fighting and frequent sex. He's a different woman every night kind of guy, whether he wants to be or not. Until Mary comes into the picture.
Mary is not so much a wallflower as a woman with low self-esteem. She's spent a great deal of her life at her mother's sick bed. Then, when her mother died, Mary was diagnosed with leukemia and was sent to the sickbed herself. When the story begins, Mary receives a call from the doctor that strongly suggests that she's no longer in remission. Which she's understandably bummed about. I've got to give Ward props for not going with the obvious solution to that particular problem. Mary is believably reluctant to enter into a relationship with Rhage if she's just going to get sick. She's been the caretaker for a dying woman and she knows it's not pretty.
This book was okay, but I had a problem with Rhage's "curse". I had read that Rhage had slept with someone else during the course of the book, and I had also read that it didn't happen after the two got together. This is technically true. Rhage does not sleep with anyone else after he has slept with Mary. But. The two are emotionally committed to each other. Which makes it cheating in my book. I also read that Rhage had to sleep with someone else as a result of his curse. I was a little wary of this argument and now that I've read the book, my opinion has not changed. Rhage is afraid of hurting others if he doesn't keep the beast at bay. Though he knows two ways of doing this, the only thing that really works (in the end) is sex. I wasn't clear on why it had to be several-different-girls-a-night-sex. I also wasn't clear why the Scribe Virgin cursed Rhage in that particular way. It didn't really fit the crime. I felt like it was a convenient excuse for Rhage to be promiscuous without actually wanting to be. It was the Paranormal version of "men have needs".
The other issue that I had with this novel was that I wanted to giggle over the language of the "brothers". To me, they sounded like a bunch of white boys playing ganstah. There was lots of "my brothers" and "you feel me?" And what was with the constant use of the word "female"? I hated it. Maybe it just made me think of the term "female dog"? I don't know. It irritated me. In my head it sounded derogatory rather than, I don't know, sexy and possessive.
The one thing that did interest me in this novel is the story of the boy whom Mary befriends. Unbeknownst to the boy, John Matthew, he is about to go through his transition (to becoming a vampire). I was interested in seeing where his story went. But I don't want to read through six more Black Dagger Brotherhood books just to follow it. Maybe I'll catch it as a stand-alone and maybe I won't. Sadly, this is not the vampire series for me.

It's to bad you didn't like this book, I love this series and find that it gets a lot better as you go along-with the exception of Lover Unbound which was garbage. Lover Mine (John Matthew's story) is really good, and I would encourage you to read it, especially if you liked him, but a lot happens for him through out the series. I liked your review even if I am a little sad you were disappointed with the series.

I'd say J.R. Smith's knee has recovered quite nicely, wouldn't you?
Though I can't find an official box score (thanks Chinese censorship of the web… and also a severe language barrier), this video shows Smith going off in a very J.R. Swish kind of way for 52 points. I counted six 3-pointers in there, the last of which came off a spin move beyond the arc. I could have seen that play alone with the face (and tattoos) blurred out and I would have said "who is that, J.R. Smith or something?" The 22 rebounds are a nice added bonus. Lord knows where that kind of rebounding came from.
For a guy who allegedly tried to fake-injury his way out of town, it seems he's settled in. Thanks, Stephon Marbury.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Scotland among the Pictish people. The name MacNary is derived from the personal name John. The Gaelic form of their name was originally Mac-Iain-uidhir, which means son of dun John. However, the MacNary family of Perth traditionally derive their name from M'an-oighre, which means son of the heir. Experts have also theorized that the surname MacNary may be derived from Mac-an-fhuibir, which means son of the smith, or Mac-an-huidhir, which means son of the stranger.
MacNary Early Origins
family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The freedom of the North American colonies was enticing, and many Scots left to make the great crossing. It was a long and hard journey, but its reward was a place where there was more land than people and tolerance was far easier to come by. Many of these people came together to fight for a new nation in the American War of Independence, while others remained loyal to the old order as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of Scots in North America have recovered much of this heritage in the 20th century through Clan societies and other such organizations. A search of immigration and passenger lists revealed many important and early immigrants to North America bearing the name of MacNary: John McNair, a Highland Scott, from Kilkenny, Argyll, came to America in 1770 with his 2 surviving children and settled in Robeson County, North Carolina.

Is Your Microwave Clean?
On an episode from this past season of 30 Rock, Jack Donaghy, Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming at GE, announces the release of a new product: a pocket microwave oven. Luckily, that microwave is still the stuff of TV dreams. Since many of us are living with a dirty microwave oven in our homes, I can't imagine how dirty a "pocket" microwave oven might become. So, quick, no cheating! Is it clean or not?Source

I am looking for a the best cocktail place I can find that will be open Christmas Eve. Tractor Room, Starlite, El Dorado all closed. Afraid most restaurants will want to close too early (this is what finally drove us away from Mr. Tiki's Mai Tai Lounge, which used to be our place -- over the years they got less and less happy with staying open late).
Any suggestions?
Our wish-list is:
excellent and interesting cocktails
(i.e., not just rum and coke, sex on the beach, and martinis swimming with shards of ice)
good for a group (at least 6, up to, say, 10)
not so loud we can't talk
having food would be a plus, but not required
located conveniently to trolley a plus, not required

In War, for example, which party has the actual, overall advantage - the party with the most to lose, or the party with nothing to lose? Why.... why not.
sort by best latest
I would agree.
Yet war, instead of diplomacy. Tells the discerning? That the so-called warring-parties are making more loot, in dispute! Than in reconciliation. I would hazard a guess? IMO War is conducted by those who rule, because peace does not sell much pop? Those who rule are not governments or even the main street banks. Although, that is a face of them both. It is obviously easy to prey on the 'ordinary joe' through taxation, interest rates, etc. Keeping it primed with war propaganda and surveillance.
How about? Both sides are run by the same wealthy people who use the "war" for taxation, power and control over the individual? A collectivism if you will?
More to lose? Less to lose? Using people's personality to maintain the status quo. Whipping up the ignorant, into patriotic bliss.
The people who are peaceful are held to ransom, by people who are not. The perspective is always skewed; depending on which oar you're shackled to.

The party with nothing to lose has the advantage. This is the case with most conflicts - of any nature. Psychologically speaking, if you have nothing to lose, you are more apt to risk more and take chances.

I was very hesitant to order my wedding dress online. A friend ordered from Tidebuy a year ago and she had no problems and was satisfied with her dress so I decided to give it a try. I ordered my dress on the 8th of January and received it on the 21st, in Idaho, USA. That is very fast in my opinion. And considering it came from China, I was very satisfied with the shipping and processing time. I ordered this dress in Champagne. I was expecting it to be more of a brown/gold color, which it is not, but I do love the color. It has a bit of a peachy ivory look to it but it is very beautiful. The quality is great! Considering it will only be worn once and I am a very budget friendly bride this dress fits me and my lifestyle perfectly! It is beautiful, the back is simply amazing! I am going to have a bustle added but other than that it fits like a glove. I included my measurements for my bust, waist and hips in the notes section of my order and I know Tidebuy did a couple alterations to my size 12 before sending it to me based on those measurements. I definitely recommend you add your measurements as well. All in all, I am 100% satisfied and will be returning to Tidebuy for my future dress shopping needs. Not wedding, obviously. :) Happy Shopping!!
Dear Customer Thanks for your message and a nice day to you It is really a happy thing to know you were satisfied with our items .And we really appreciate for your review on tidebuy .

18 Forbidden Adventures We Wish We Could Go On Dec 14, 2015 by Ian (Awesome Escape Blogger)
There are a lot of amazing places around the world that we all want to visit: the Grand Canyon, Paris, Mount Everest, Bali...we all have different dream destinations! But there are lots of fascinating sites that are, unfortunately, next to impossible to see in real life. Here are some of the world's most interesting locales that are either extremely expensive, super dangerous, highly illegal, or impossible to access!
Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
The Galápagos in the Pacific Ocean are volcanic islands that are slowly shifting over time as new islands rise slowly from the depths while old islands sink beneath the surface of the sea. Charles Darwin visited the islands in 1835 aboard the HMS Beagle, and his observations on the island contributed to his theory of natural selection. That's because the animals and plants evolved in isolation and turned out pretty weird! The islands are home to unique species of giant turtles, huge iguanas, lava lizards, nocturnal gulls, and vampire finches. It's possible to visit the islands, but it's expensive, and travel is restricted to certain sites requiring licensed guides. The rules protect the unique biodiversity, but it means that some of the most beautiful parts of the Galápagos are off limits.
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine
In 1986, the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl exploded in a cloud of radioactive gas that drifted across Europe. Thankfully, the heroic efforts of scientists, firefighters, workers, and soldiers—some of whom died from radiation sickness—prevented the reactor from collapsing further. The workers sealed the meltdown beneath thousands of tons of concrete and a 30-mile area around the plant was evacuated and put under military guard. Evacuees were forced to leave so quickly they left their homes, cars, and belongings relatively intact. The entire city of Pripyat became a ghost town—every house and apartment silent as a tomb, filled with dishes, toys, and beds; the streets with cars and bicycles; schools and playgrounds sitting frozen and empty. Everything is dangerously irradiated, and researchers have even seen creepily mutated animals that live in the area! There's a strange fascination evoked by the ghostly remains of Chernobyl, but don't get too close. Seriously.

Just a few pictures in the interest of time.
There were lots of buddhas, lanterns, the best Mexican food I've had since I moved to Asia (Vatos in Itaewon) and no visit to the DMZ! If you want to visit the DMZ you must clear your passport/identification information in advance. We did not plan ahead. As many of you have been reading in the news, the situation is a bit precarious so I wasn't too upset about the lost opportunity.
In broad strokes, people in Seoul dressed down, smiled more, said hello, and were much more open. You know you've gotten used to Tokyo when you see a sober couple holding hands or cuddling in public and find it remarkable. Seoul seemed to sprawl with long distances, wide roads and (happily) cheap cab fare.
I've been back in Tokyo for over a week now. The cherry blossoms are almost entirely gone (more on sakura later) and the weather is warming up a bit.

The competition watchdog, ACCC, has put those in the big end of town on notice that it will take them to court if they refuse to pay subcontractors, amid growing complaints on major projects in Western Australia.
Complaints about late and nonpayments are rampant in WA's building industry and the state government has been criticised for not protecting subcontractors, some of whom had been ripped off on government projects as lead contractors refuse to or simply can't pay.
Multibillion-dollar major public and private projects such as the new children's hospital, Perth airport extension and Elizabeth Quay riverside development have been notable for subcontractor complaints over massive amounts of unpaid work.
The issue was raised in parliament last week by Opposition Leader Mark McGowan, who named the owners of six small businesses owed massive amounts of money, including Ross McGinn, who took his own life last year.
Laws that protect consumers from unfair contracts will be changed in mid-November to protect subcontractors from unfair contracts used by big businesses.
The effects should include helping stop big businesses unilaterally changing prices and striking unfair terms out of contracts and ensuring dispute mechanisms are not lopsided, said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's acting chairman Michael Schaper.
"This speaks to a much bigger issue, the massive power imbalance that exists between big business and small business often reflected in the contracts imposed effectively on small businesses," he told 6PR radio.
"This is not going to give universal protection for every situation but goes a long away to rectifying what is clearly a very substantial imbalance. In WA the issue about subcontractors is the one that's most obvious.
"We do carry a big stick. The ACCC doesn't take things to court lightly but when we do our success rate is in the vicinity of 90 to 95 per cent ... The large end of town needs to be on notice we really are serious."
Acting Finance Minister Sean L'Estrange said the government had improved payment security for subcontractors and had implemented 14 recommendations from a 2013 Construction Subcontractor Investigation report.
It was also exploring a NSW-style scheme involving project bank accounts so if the contractor went bankrupt, there was money to pay out subcontractors, he said.
IT IS NOT JUST WA. The ACCC needs to look at the rest of the country as well. In QLD since 2014 2400 subcontractors have borne $110m debt from main contractor pre-packaged insolvency. Recently another main contractor undertaking government contracts appointed administrators to avoid litigation of $20m from defective work and took another 207 subcontractors for another $4m. A retention trust covers only 5% of the subcontractors funds, what about the remainder. To continue to refer to retentions only is simply subterfuge and displays an unwillingness to address the real problem of massive fraud in the industry. . The NSW model has been described in a legal piece as " A CLAYTONS TRUST" operated by the contractor and absolutely useless in a contractor insolvency setting. Neither is the NSW model in accordance with that recommended by the Collins report. Who introduces deceptive legislation like this and more importantly who influences it. What we have here is ongoing national construction industry fraud, whilst our state governments sit and watch. We want uniform national minimum SOP legislation for all states that secures 100% of revenue for subcontractors . The problems that exist in the industry were outlined in the report from the Senate inquiry held in 2015. Every main player in the political landscape supported the abovementioned and the 44 recommendations except the LNP. The purpose of the QLD BCIP Act was undermined in 2014 and the architect of those amendments is now in federal parliament. Happy days.
It appears to me that those responsible for legislative change around Australia have absolutely no bloody idea of how the industry works, the massive fraudulent practices, the use of phoenix trading and pre-packaged liquidations to defraud and just how peak industry groups seek and gain unfair advantage by promoting themselves as industry experts . Subcontractors around Australia lose more from insolvency and wrongful withholding of money per annum from main contractors than the entire revenue generated by the dairy industry. There is no point in the ACCC waving their finger at the big end of town — what does that achieve — take action. Look at the amendments to QLD's BCIPA and similar amendments being planned in SA to see if the removal of a marketplace of ANA's contravenes competition laws. Why should we have to ask — any legislation that removes a market place and damages consumers should automatically be reviewed. What a crock. What we have in reality is cheque- book legislation that is not in the public interest. The senate report identified these practices as costing the ATO around $670m in tax receipts and a further $200m from a bludge on the Fair Entitlements Grants every year Add the huge human cost of this tragedy to 350,000 construction industry small business playing out all over Australia. The construction industry is a seriously flawed and dishonest industry, with legislation that attracts thieves and supports fraud. Our federal and state politicians coupled with our regulators including the ACCC have to bear the responsibility for their failure. They simply allow those who benefit from this feast on the hard work of others to set and run the agenda.
If genuine protection is given to subcontractors, then it is about time.
Of course, none of this should obscure the fact that more that it is now eight months after the final report of the Senate Inquiry into non-conforming products and still we have NO RESPONSE from the government. Labour, The Greens, Xenaphon and Lazurus all indicated their support, but the Coalition have swept it under the carpet.
"Laws that protect consumers from unfair contracts will be changed in mid-November to protect subcontractors from unfair contracts used by big businesses." Although there is new legislation that is enlivened in November which offers some protection to subcontractors with regard to the construction of a contract between the parties, it will not be the magic bullet that it could have been, not by any means.
In the absence of specific legislation prohibiting unfair or unjust clauses in a contract, with no contracting out of such prohibition, the parties are pretty much open to market forces prevailing on the day – which means that if one party finds the clauses in a contract unacceptable to them, they are quuite entitled to walk away from the contract.
Australia has a history of attempting to rectify all that ails it with legislation, and then once legislated seemingly refuses or is utterly incapable or unwilling to enforce the legislation.
Western Australia has the highest resistance to any such enforcement, as well as the highest resistance to any such change. I'll wager London to a brick that despite the ACCC's acting chairman Schaper's bold words above, nothing, absolutely nothing is done to the head contractors in the projects mentioned above – absolutely nothing!
These investigations and threat of court need to be taken Australia wide by ACCC, as this issue is epidemic in all states and peoples lives continue to be torn apart every day.
One day more is to long, we need action now

Technology — not quality — will be the driving force for the automobile industry in 2010 and the near future.
A survey of 200 automobile executives around the globe concluded that this year — and probably for at least the next couple of years — the industry will focus on pushing the technology envelope, dwarfing environmental, quality and cost-cutting issues.
The annual survey conducted last fall by Swiss-based management consultants KPMG LLC, concluded that technology will weigh heavily in manufacturers' decisions regarding product, production and business. Everything from propulsion (hybrid, electric, natural gas and so forth) and in-vehicle electronics to assembly-line robotics, as well as mergers and acquisitions will be affected by the goal to advance technology and create products reflecting that technology.
According to the KPMG findings:
- Companies are shifting focus from quality improvement to new products.
- Total affordability and pricing are seen as less important than innovation.
- Environmental concerns fell in the ratings for first time in three years.
With the number of recent recalls, some might argue that quality should be job No. 1 for carmakers. However, conventional wisdom within the industry is that the huge quality gaps that once existed between vehicle brands have been nearly eliminated.
Doug Newcomb, technology editor at Edmunds.com, summed up the carmakers' rationale for emphasizing technology over quality this way: "This doesn't surprise me at all. Cars are on parity when it comes to fuel economy, quality and other issues. When you shop for a midpriced sedan, they are all pretty close. Technology often tips the scale."
Vehicle manufacturers are in a mad scramble to push their products to the forefront of consideration by the ever-expanding wave of techno-savvy consumers. Newcomb believes a vehicle's capability to seamlessly integrate personal electronic devices, such as iPods, laptops and cellular phones, will be the basis for many consumers' future vehicle-buying decisions. It's why he thinks high-tech features are finding their way into vehicles at all price points rather than just more-expensive luxury models.
Ford's voice-activated Sync system is Newcomb's favorite example of what we can expect future in-vehicle technology to look like. Sync is a connectivity system that can integrate Ford's voice-activated Sync system, Bluetooth phones and USB drives. It can also provide turn-by-turn navigation, 911 assist, real-time traffic and even the weather. According to Newcomb, its best feature is that it's upgradable.
He expects the "apps" craze to find its way into vehicles as well. "Vehicles will be connected to the outside world," he says. "The car companies that are planning for technology and working on it are going to do better."
New technology that is either in vehicles now or coming soon includes:
- Kia's UVO System. Developed with Microsoft, this infotainment system is sort of Ford Sync Lite. A hands-free system, it can oversee operation of cell phones and music sources. It will feature a backup camera and a 4.3-inch color touch screen display and appear in the 2011 Kia Sorrento.
- Infiniti's Lane Departure Warning and Prevention. Using a tiny camera behind the windshield to detect lane markers, this system alerts the driver to an unintended lane departure and will even nudge the vehicle back to safety. It is available in the 2011 M. Other manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi feature similar systems.
- Acura's Active Sound Control. Not unique to Acura, this system uses two microphones inside the cabin to monitor low-frequency engine noise. When noise is detected, the system transmits an opposing frequency through the audio system speakers, canceling out the engine noise. It is available on the TL and TSX.
- Mercedes-Benz Splitview Technology. Because U.S. regulations prohibit front-seat passengers from viewing video media unless the vehicle is parked, Mercedes-Benz has developed a screen that displays two images: one over the top of the other. From the driver's perspective, only the navigation map is seen, while the passenger sees only the movie or whatever video has been programmed. It is available on the S-Class.
- BMW's Car-to-car Communication. Using WLAN technology, this system communicates directly with all other relevant vehicles in the vicinity, allowing it to send warnings to vehicles behind it regarding traffic jams, black ice on the road or a sudden rain storm.
- GM's Enhanced Head-up Display. Using a vehicle's full array of sensors and cameras, this system will create a full-windshield head-up display to aid drivers in extremely low visibility events. For example, in a fog situation the vehicle would use infrared cameras to identify the edges of the road and those lines would then be "painted" onto the windshield.
- Audi's GPRS/EDGE. An optional modem for Audi's MMI navigation plus system will allow the user direct access to Google for points of interest. The results are displayed on the navigation map. It will be available in the 2011 Audi A8.

Families should consider protecting older parents with senior alert system
Alan Wu
May 6, 2011
While caregivers often oversee a parent's health, making long trips to a senior's home to check in, they are also sometimes in the midst of a very striking denial. Even when they may know better, it's easy to believe parents when they tell family that they're "fine."
That was the case of Jane Gross, who recently shared her experience with her mother, Estelle, with The New York Times.
"My mother wasn't going to burden me or my brother by explaining any of this, ask our assistance or even welcome it if offered," Gross writes. "All of these were problems she preferred to solve on her own."
This can often be a problem when it comes to senior safety, because families can't help older adults who refuse the help in the first place. Instead, experts suggest trying to come to a compromise.
A senior alert system can afford seniors the independence they need and the extra safety that families want. This easy-to-install device enables users to immediately send a medical alert if they require assistance.
It can be an especially important addition for older adults who are living alone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that one out of every three Americans age 65 and over fall each year.

Trouble starting your car in the cold? You weren't alone!
(WTXF) - The snow and frigid cold from the weekend through Monday had calls to AAA Mid-Atlantic skyrocketing, especially Monday morning as people returned to work and school.
"The effects of extreme cold temperatures on a car can be cumulative, as evidenced by our member calls," said Jana L. Tidwell, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.
She said from Friday through Sunday, AAA Mid-Atlantic had 3,758 calls for help in the five-county Philadelphia area. Of those, 35 percent -- or 1,309 -- were for dead car batteries.
Also, Monday through 9pm, there were 2,262 calls for help. Nearly half -- 1,056 -- were for dead car batteries.
Tidwell reports at zero degrees, a car's battery loses about 60 percent of its strength, but the engine needs about twice as much power to start. And even at 32 degrees, a battery is 35 percent weaker.
Add all the items like chargers, upgraded audio, and GPS devices we plug in, and a battery's life can be drained even faster.
AAA recommends drivers have their batteries tested at three years old and every year after.

RayRen98 : Qi Card Picture from TNT forum Today: http://tntdinar.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=2901
Notes From FLPatriot59 at I4U Chat:
[FLPatriot59] Tony: good morning, guys. Short call this morning. It's Thursday morning, 8/8. I have some updates and we'll talk about some crazy stuff as well.
[T - thanks to MtnGoat - an excellent post in detail. Even though this was supposed to be a plan for GB and the US, it became a world recovery plan. The master plan has changed
Read More Link on Right
T - Back in April when we thought this would go at time O wanted countries to pay back their debt to the USA and was written in at the last moment. He wanted the same thing as everyone wanted - paid in IQD. Didn't know if it was pre- or -post RV.
T - more and more confirmations that cards are activated and the systems are a go. Nothing is holding back. Per calls received at 4AM this morning, people are happy, shopping in malls, no protesting in sight; they are not sure why we have not received ours yet.
T - at the NC bank no more arrests made, security in place till 11PM last night.
T - we received an actual Qi-Card photo we received that is being used over there. we can see the number, the exp date (8/24/15), will post this in our Forum today. They were told is loaded with the NEW money and they can spend it today.
T - I don't know why others are saying they can't see the cards "live" when so many are telling us they are.
T - I think you guys should know everything. I think you're smart enough to make decisions when you get in there. I'm telling you this because of the stuff out there about the groups. You're not getting all the info because it works better. Some people out there don't think you need to know until you walk in at the desk. I don't agree.
T - someone was concerned about the 2-minute phone call to set up appointment, 20-minute for appointment, setup another appt for wealth manager, etc. That scared a lot of people. But this is what I've been told how they have been trained to handle this process.
T - The brokers and everybody else out there are not there to work for you. They need to make money for the bank or lose their job. You did not hire them, the bank hired them. They are like car salesmen - they are hired to sell you products. Why they think you cannot deal with that is beyond me.
T - I am going to let you know where the tiers are before you go to the bank. I can't release this unti the RV. The banks are ALWAYS going to make money and I want you to be armed with info. I have nothing to hide. I want you to get the best rate.
T - They wouldn't be giving me this info if they didn't want me to tell you.
[FLPatriot59] **Q&A STARTING**
C - have you and Okie spoken about the intel? T - no, you want me to call him right now? We talk about stuff, mainly to get the right info out there. We hear different info, sometimes we hear the same info.
C - have you read MtnGoat and what do you think? T - it is excellent and gave good background info in depth. If we took you guys back to the beginning most of you wouldn't want to hear it and wouldn't believe it.
C - You've always predicted when we go to the final marker there would be a lot of smoke and confusion. That's kind of a clue we're here. What about the texts about the whales CE'ing in Reno at 4AM yesterday? T - don't know about that. We heard about congressman cashed in his SKR in Switzerland - only 1 I heard - but no one else I've heard about.
C - did research on the internet and there wasn't technically an RV in Kuwait? T - they went thru an RI - reinstatement of their rate. You have to remember that was 1 country. This is different because it's over 100 countries but they used that as a model for this one. Things changed: O changed the rules, arab spring, etc. that changed everything mid-stream.
[buckwheat] Tony's call today 8-8 before the Q&A - 13 minutes -
C - It appears that Travelex may have pulled the VND from their sites and they're not answering the phone. T - I heard the same thing. My understand is that no one wants to get caught in the middle of a transaction.
C - MtnGoat said a minimum of 10 days, which would be Saturday. Your thoughts? T - I don't know if they'll wait the full 10-days like Kuwait. They (banks) were called in this morning again. They were told absolutely it would happen yesterday, that came and went and they were depressed. Everything was resolved yesterday and they are ready again for today.
T - O wanted agreements from countries to repay their debts and pay back the loans. That was resolved yesterday.
C - Last call you said Falujah was bad. Is it any better and would they experience a different rate? T - I heard this morning it has calmed down significantly. I don't think they'll see a different rate and will probably see it today there.
C - yesterday someone mentioned that Iraq would prefer the LD's back, but not the 25K notes. T - they may not want them back but they're going to get them back.
C - Is the 11% tax in addition to or in place of the tax that will be owed? T - My understanding is that it is in place of - per their agreement.
C - Dinar Trade never sent out receipts with orders. Will that be a problem with the IRS? T - I don't think so if you have your cancelled checks.
C - Have there been any changes pertaining to Dinar Banker/Sterling how they will pay us at exchange? T - no changes per Frank. Their dinars will go back to the CBI, not the UST.
T - why do you care what he does with it after he cashes you out?
C - I heard today that dealers will now have to turn in their dinars to the UST. T - they may have to if that changes. That is okay because they'll get a better deal.
T -if the rules change and they can no longer ship currency outside the country, the UST has to give them an avenue to finance it. Then the UST will have to finance it.
C - on this 11% deal could it be that the rate comes out at $21 but they offer you $18 to cover the 11%? T - yes, that is what I've heard. you won't even know the 11% was taken out. You need to look before you leap.
C - regarding the 30 days to exchange, does that apply to keeping the LDs? T - no, only applies to the 3-zero notes. The plan is for the rates to never be as high as it will be in the 1st 30 days. I don't understand why anyone would hold it.
C - regarding the 30 days to exchange, does that apply to keeping the LDs? T - no, only applies to the 3-zero notes. The plan is for the rates to never be as high as it will be in the 1st 30 days. I don't understand why anyone would hold it.
C - Does Ramadan have anything to do with this? T - it is over today and I've been told it had nothing to do with it. They were told they would have the best Ramadan ever. They were told they'd have the best holiday and it's happening. But did it also include holding up the rest of the world?

And it's no wonder we're confused—some genres, like fantasy, are so huge it's easy to get lost. When you search for fantasy books on Amazon, you get 739,684 returns! Who could possibly search through all of that for a new book to read? It's completely overwhelming. Renee's March 4th article talked about how the fantasy genre has now been split up into many different sub-genres, presenting both benefits and challenges for everyone. For the writer, it can make that existential question where do I belong even harder to answer, particularly if our work fits equally well into more than a couple of categories. But it can also help us finally settle in someplace—find a cozy corner to call home, where we can quietly build up a loyal fan base and gradually expand from there. It sure beats drifting around the book marketing universe like a hobo, holding out our collection cups to anyone who passes by, hoping for some reader to take pity on the poor indie author.
And that's pretty much what we do as new, inexperienced authors. We chase after every new marketing gimmick, trying to imitate the top sellers without having any understanding of the huge amount of plodding groundwork it took to get them there. We try to copy the mechanics of their journey in the hopes it will take us along the exact same road, instead of going through that painful existential process of figuring out who we are, and forging our own path. We read all the author self-help books written by people who claim if you just follow steps A-Z you'll become just as successful as they are. But no two authors are alike, and no two journeys are either. They might offer good advice, but we need to take it with the understanding that it will most likely work differently for us, and that's OK. Eventually we all grow tired of chasing the wind and come to realize our biggest successes have come about when we've just been our truest selves.
It took me a few years, but I think I'm finally settling into my small corner of the indie book world. It's actually pretty comfortable—not particularly flashy or high profile, but it suits me. Readers are finding me, and my book sales are slowly but steadily growing. When I first published in 2011, I couldn't imagine the place I'm at right now. Humble as it is, it seemed so far out of reach. Since then I've had plenty of dreams to keep me working hard, and those dreams grow every day. I hope that in another 5 years, I'll be able to look back and say, "I couldn't imagine this place I'm in right now—and I'm so glad I'm here. What's next?"

High Fructose Corn Syrup Worse than Sugar for your Skin
If sugar is bad for your skin, High Fructose Corn Syrup is awful! It not only spikes your cortisol and blood sugar, but it is incredibly difficult for your body to process. This puts stress on your digestive system and wreaks havoc with your stress hormones – which leads to breakouts, oxidative stress, dark circles, hyper pigmentation and sun sensitivity, and premature skin wrinkling.
This article by Lifehacker, explains that research has shown this corn sweetener to be more "fattening" than sugar itself. It caught our eye and reminded us of the need to spread the word about HFCS.
For anyone who needs help kicking the habit, here is a brief list of foods and brands containing High Fructose Corn Syrup.
(For more information on foods that contain HFCS, visit these sites: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/sneaky-syrup/, http://www.marksdailyapple.com/sneaky-syrup/, http://www.foodfacts.info/high-fructose-corn-syrup.shtml )
|Stove Top Stuffing
|Capri-Sun Juice Drink
|Hanson's All-Natural Soda
|Sprite, Pepsi, CocaCola, and almost ALL other sodas
|Starbucks' Frappuccino
|Sara Lee Heart Healthy Whole Grain Bread
|Thomas English Muffins
|Kellogg's Corn Flakes…and pretty much ALL of their other cereals
|Pop Tarts
|Heinz 57 Sauce
|Heinz Ketchup
|Hunt's Catsup
|Miracle Whip
|Nuti-Grain Bars
|Nabisco snacks: Oreos, cookies, Fig Newtons, Wheat Thins, Ritz
|Crackers, etc
|Cool Whip
|Yoplait Yogurts
|B&M Original Baked Beans
|Claussen Pickles
|Del Monte Fruit Naturals
|Heinz Pickle Relish
|Mott's Applesauce
|Ben & Jerry's
|Dreyer's Ice Cream
|Eggo Waffles
|Kraft Salad Dressing
|Oscar Mayer Lunchables
And then there are the Fast Food Joints. Each of these 'restaurants' have more than one HFCS product: like cheese, drinks, bread, sauces, and desserts.
|Burger King
|Jack in the Box
|Dairy Queen
|Taco Bell
the list goes on and on…

Anal Abscess: Anal abscesses include perirectal abscess and perianal abscess. Both types of abscesses need immediate medical attention. Causes of anal abscesses include individuals with medical conditions such as diabetes, AIDS/HIV, Crohn's disease, those on immune system suppressor drugs, pregnancy, STDs, and anal fissures. Symptoms of anal abscesses include pain in the anal area, pus drainage near the anus, fever, lower abdominal pain, painful bowel movements, fatigue, and night sweats. Treatment of anal abscesses is often surgery.

Macleans Fresh Mint
8 reviews from the community
Review of "Macleans Fresh Mint"
"Fresh oral care"
For all of my life I have used Macleans Freshmint toothpaste, the sole reason is that it's what my mum always bought! Now that I have to buy my own toothpaste, I still make it Macleans. I may be quite biased in this review, because Macleans is the only toothpaste that I ever use, but if you want to take a look inside my mouth, you will see that this toothpaste is an excellent product...no fillings, and perfect sparkling teeth!Macleans is produced by SmithKline Beecham, which you'll find is the manufacturer of many health care products, the correspondance address is,
SmithKline Beecham Consumer Healthcare
Now for the all-important ingredients list:Calcium Carbonate
Sodium Monofluorophosphate *
Cellulose Gum
Sodium Saccharin
Triclosan (an antibacterial agent) *
Calcium Glycerophosphate *
Sodium Hydroxide
Those marked with a star are 'Active Ingredients'.I bought my tube of toothpaste (125ml) from Wilkinson for 98p, but obviously the price will vary! In my opinion it is excellent value for money.
The box has five promises on it,
~ unique cleaning action (always a good thing!)
~ helps strengthen teeth (as toothpastes should do!)
~ fights plaque (away with that nasty yellow stuff)
~ fights decay (yay, no falsies for me)
~ freshens breath (minty fresh, nice!)
As I mentioned earlier, I have no fillings, despite my very sweet tooth, and my dents are sparkly white. Macleans does clean, and protect at the same time. The flavour is, well, minty. It's not too strong, but it does leave your mouth tingly and feeling fresh afterwards, so you don't have to worry about knocking anybody out with gas-mask-worthy breath. It comes in a traditional squeezy tube, easy for kids and adults alike to use, only problem is that you can never get that last drop out, but who cares, the price is bargainous!Final point, SmithKline Beecham is By Appointment to Prince Charles, so you never know, he might be using this toothpaste, or at least he should be cos it's bloomin excellent stuff!

Wood-Topped Pretty Polishes/
I'm always looking for new nail ideas, and I have to admit that sometimes I fall as hard for the bottle as I do for the end result on my fingers. Such is the case with Sheswai Lacquer, polishes that are free of formaldehyde, toluene and DPBs (cool) -- and each bottle is topped with a sustainably harvested custom wood cap (so cute!). I'm currently loving the eggplant-gray shade "what." (pictured) and I may try the new metallic espresso-colored "badass" as the days get darker. Snap these up individually for $16 per bottle, or choose any three shades for the "Love bag" and mix and match your colors.
Don't forget to find a good place to show off those wood-capped bottles, too. Bonus.

"It has been ELEVEN days, Stephen," Jon Stewart said during his January 31st guest appearance on Stephen Colbert's Late Show, "Eleven. Fucking. Days. ELEVEN!" And then, looking into the audience and the camera, he stated what we were all experiencing, "The presidency is supposed to age the president, NOT the public."
That was only eighteen f*#king days ago. What's happened since then plays out like a TV reality show based on a mashup of "Hunt For Red October 2: Defecting TO Russia," "Dumb and Dumber," and " Liar Liar."

Facebook Issue Fixed
Thank you for fixing the issue with logging in to Facebook. However, I have another issue on my hands. When I logged in, I was given the choice to keep my current save or overwrite with the last save. I selected keep, believing it had my last save with all of my teams. Unfortunately, this save does not have any of my saved teams. Is there any way to recover them, or must I start over from scratch?
It's great but
I am having the same issue with Facebook login in and restarting the app over and over. I deleted it and redownloading it. Hopefully that works. But it's a awesome game overall!!!!
Multiplayer With 2 phones doesn't work
I purchased this because I wanted to play my friends online, however the multiplayer function doesn't work. Love everything else about the game.

Our stop sugar programme helps to eliminate the desire for artificially sweetened foods and drinks. By using your desire to want to stop eating sweets and sugary products, the hypnosis makes it easy for you to not want to eat them. The programme is individually tailored and can either use positive suggestion to eliminate your desire to eat sugary foods, or aversion techniques to bring about a powerful distaste for sugary foods.
Click here to read a success case study from a previous client in Women's Health magazine.
Also featured in The Metro
We use direct hypnotic suggestion to break the cycle of eating sweet foods for comfort, to de stress or when bored. You won't want them, you won't need them and you will enjoy all the benefits physically and mentally, of being free from sugary foods and drinks. Our treatment leaves you feeling empowered, happier, healthier and not needing or wanting artificially sweetened foods. when used in combination
Customers have also found our Weight Loss Download beneficial when used in combination with Stop Sugar
Instructions for use:
(Note: the programme/s can be downloaded onto any iOS or Android device or your PC etc)
1) Try to listen with headphones or earphones at a time and place where you will NOT BE disturbed for around 30 mins.
2) Sit or lay in a comfortable place (usually bed, chair or sofa are best) in a room temperature that is comfortable for you.
3) Try to listen to Session 1 on one day and Session 2 on an alternate day (this allows you to absorb the suggestions more easily).
4) You're likely to find either programme 1 or 2 most fitting for you, if so it is fine to only listen to that recording.
5) Try to listen EVERYDAY for the first 1-2 weeks or as many times as practicable for you.
6) You CANNOT over listen, generally speaking the more you listen the more the message is reinforced, so you could listen for weeks! (remember as well as being all about results its also highly relaxing, therapeutic and de-stressing)
7) When you have got the result you want its fine to stop listening (remembering you have the recording FOREVER) should you need it in future.
8) If you fall asleep each time you listen, try it earlier in the day, its most beneficial not to be sleeping throughout it (rather in a physically relaxed but mentally aware and alert state ie the 'hypnotic state')
9) If you have downloaded multiple treatment downloads, its fine to listen to them on alternate days. AVOID listening to MORE than one recording a day.
10) Last but certainly NOT least – ENJOY THE RESULTS!
Best Regards Always,
Aaron Surtees
(Clinical Hypnotherapist – Director of City Hypnosis)

High Cost of Asbestos Abatement Leaves Lower Income Communities at Risk
Safety Study of Enoblituzumab (MGA271) in Combination With Ipilimumab in Refractory Cancer
|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of enoblituzumab (MGA271) in combination with Yervoy (ipilimumab) when given to patients with B7-H3-expressing melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other B7-H3 expressing cancers. The study will also evaluate what is the best dose of enoblituzumab to use when given with ipilimumab. Assessments will also be done to see how the drug acts in the body (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics) and to evaluate potential anti-tumor activity of enoblituzumab in combination with ipilimumab.

Architen are thrilled to have been appointed by Victor Buyck to design and manufacture an ETFE cushion tunnel as part of the expansion of the Kelana Jaya Line of Malaysia's LRT (light rapid transit).
The tunnel is located in Klang Valley and will consist of almost 600 individual inflated ETFE cushions totalling 3,400sqm.
As we all wind down for the Christmas period, some of our customers have made the most of their tensile fabric structure by decorating it for the festive period and we're thoroughly impressed! Thank you for all your support in 2014, it's been a great year!
Merry Christmas from the team at Architen Landrell
Architen Landrell is thrilled to be the first in the industry to introduce a pioneering new form of ETFE technology which reduces heat under ETFE roof systems by absorbing Infrared Radiation (IR).
Until today, we managed solar glare and solar gain under our ETFE roof systems using fritting.
We are pleased that last week we were recognized with the 2014 International Achievement Award (IAA) for design excellence in specialty fabrics applications.
Architen received an Award of Excellence for the Serpentine Sackler Gallery project. The project was recognized in the competition's Tensile Structures Under 600m2 category.
In the early days, tensile fabric structures offered barrier to weather, but no insulation. Times have changed. Today's tensile fabric roof systems are designed to perform as well as traditional roofing materials, with many added benefits.
Ever wondered how we install big fabric canopies? Check out this cool 80 second mini film as we bring shade to Rowley Mile Racecourse.
Architen Landrell staff have been baking their hearts out this week getting ready for Macmillan's 'World's Biggest Coffee Morning'.
Today is the day and now we are enjoying delicious cookies, cakes and muffins, while raising money for a great cause.
The World's Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan's largest fundraising event of the year.
In a week, the Opening Ceremonies for the 17th Asian Games will take place in Incheon, Korea.
Architen is proud to have designed, engineered, manufactured and installed the three layer ETFE inflated roof over the beautiful new Munhak Aquatics Venue. In total, 49 cushions make up the complex roof offering 3,000m2 of coverage.
There is a lot of activity this week and next at Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk. Architen is on site installing the steel framework for a bespoke series of interconnected Conic fabric structures.
Next week two cranes arrive on site to lift the enormous fabric canopy into place so that we can start the tensioning process.

Jomo Fisher--I was curious about type inference in F# and I wondered what would happen if there was really no way for the compiler to infer a type. Consider this function which takes a value and just returns it:
let func n = n
Like last time, I compiled this with fsc.exe. I was expecting a polite error message saying the type of 'n' couldn't be determined. Instead, compilation succeeded. The result was equivalent to this C#:
public static T func<T>(T n)
return n;
In retrospect, this makes complete sense. Of course an unknown type should be inferred to be a template type. So far, F# seems to do a good job of being concise for a strongly typed language.

I want to make a soup or other great recipe, but would rather not spend another arm and leg buying tons of fish/seafood. Any ideas for a moderate recipe where I would make the best of this stock? I wanted to make risotto, but my husband thinks that would be 'wasting' the stock and would prefer a soup.
