[Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] redirect to the same page when force ssl to page
Hey there, I've downloaded the plugin a while ago and it was working great till i found a 'bug', I am developing a eCommerce site, and i only want the checkout page to be ssl. there are 4 steps in checkout page, shipping billing, payment, complete order.(i'll send you the link through email), once i forced checkout page to ssl, it seems stopping at billing page and wont go any further, more like redirects to the same page. however, when i turn off force ssl, everything works fine. can you help me with this? Thanks!

In Nepal, we fund a leading Nepalese non-profit organization, SECARD Nepal (The Society for Environmental Conservation and Agricultural Research and Development – Nepal). SECARD supports communities to improve their livelihoods through sustainable agriculture. Vibrant Village Foundation supports work in three communities in the Nuwakot region, about 45 kilometers from the Kathmandu Valley. There are 1,603 households and 7,084 residents in the communities. The majority of the population is from the Tamang tribe, a minority, marginalized ethnic group who live in the low mountains, up to 6,000 feet in altitude.
Due to the hilly, rocky terrain and poor dirt roads for transporting produce, few households engage in seasonal vegetable farming. The young generation out-migrates in search of jobs in cities of Nepal and in Gulf countries. The limited knowledge of agriculture practices and inability to connect to markets has led to increased food insecurity and persistent low incomes. This project will solve these interconnected problems by taking action on agricultural production, harvesting and market linkages.

PolitiCards recently launched on mobile, bringing the unlikely combination of political cartoons, movies, and solitaire to Android. Both sides of the American spectrum are amply represented, including Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Nancy Pelosi, Glenn Beck, and pundits like Arianna Huffington and Donald Trump also show up. The twist is that they're all paired up with movies that roughly fit into their personality. It's not every day you see Bill Clinton done up as The Big Lebowski.
Illustrations aside, PolitiCards offers nicely polished gameplay with smooth graphics and animations.

Letter from Mother Teresa orphanage in Baghdad
The smiles and happy greetings I receive each time I return to volunteer at the orphanage run by Sisters of Charity of Mother Teresa in Baghdad are rewarding. Quar Quar reaches out to grab me and doesn't want to let go. Amil wants the usual kisses and full attention. Heider beams from his chair.
Fans hum and help to keep the room from being too stifling in the midsummer heat. One of the Iraqi volunteers helps Ahmid hold a bottle to feed baby Rana. Today I catch the names of two of the five or six newer children at the orphanage. Haifa and Azma are sisters and both share a similar condition - smaller han normal heads and mental retardation - but with smiles that hook you in.
Haifa, the older one, walks, holding onto the chairs and tables, and comes up to meet me. She loves to clap and dance as I hold her hands and sing. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Jocqolina also swaying to the music, and other faces light up. With the gifts of new handicapped furniture, more of the children sit in chairs, so I miss playing catch and their rolling around on the huge mat. I also miss teasing 15 year-old Allah, one of the few children here who could talk. I find out that one of the US soldiers that used to visit the orphanage a year ago, arranged to take Allah to the US for therapy.
I see the biggest change with Nurah, the three-year-old girl, normal mentally but with only stubs for arms and legs. She gets up into a sitting position and then with a slight wiggle and a wobble, scoots around on the floor. At one point that morning, she wanted a toy that Haifa had, and made loud complaints in Arabic. Later I was amazed to see Nurah, laying in her large crib-bed, looking at a picture book, deftly turning the pages back and forth with the two toes on her tiny right foot.
She showed no signs of being aware of me standing there watching her, but as soon as I walked away to talk and play with other children, she called out, "Peggy," the first time I remember her voicing my name. As I left the building and started walking toward the fruit and vegetable market on my way home, I felt grateful for the love and joy I receive from these children. Each time I return to Iraq, they have grown and changed, just as each time the situation for the Iraqi people has changed.
As with the children, it is important to look beneath the appearance of things to see not just a society handicapped and stunted from years of oppressive dictatorship, sanctions and wars, or burdened by the current hardships and violence. When Iraqis open up windows into their lives and struggles, we experience their basic love and goodwill and find hope as we see them creatively move forward in spite of horrendous adversity.
Peggy is a volunteer with the Christian Peacemaker Team - an ecumenical violence-reduction programme in which teams of trained peace workers live in areas of conflict around the world. CPT has been present in Iraq since October, 2002. For more information see: www.cpt.org.

Brain Wave
For millions of years, the part of the galaxy containing our solar system has been moving through a vast force field that has been inhibiting certain electromagnetic and electrochemical processes and, thus, certain neurotic functions. When Earth escapes the inhibiting field, synapse speed immediately increases, causing a rise in intelligence, which results in a transfigured humanity reaching for the stars, leaving behind our earth to the less intelligent humans and animal life-forms. This is a transcendent look at the possible effects of enhanced intelligence on our planet.

Although images of women and children are frequent in the history of art, depictions of pregnancy are rare. In Hope, II a woman with a skull nestled into her gown lowers her head toward her swelling belly. Below, three women also bow their heads—in prayer or possibly mourning. The ornate decoration in Hope, II nearly overwhelms its surface. Klimt was committed to craftwork, and was among the many artists of his time who combined archaic traditions—here Byzantine gold leaf painting—with a modern psychological subject. Klimt lived and worked in turn-of-the-century Vienna, home to Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis; Klimt's exploration of formative drives like sex and death parallel Freud's explorations of the psyche.
A pregnant woman bows her head and closes her eyes, as if praying for the safety of her child. Peeping out from behind her stomach is a death's head, sign of the danger she faces. At her feet, three women with bowed heads raise their hands, presumably also in prayer—although their solemnity might also imply mourning, as if they foresaw the child's fate.
Why, then, the painting's title? Although Klimt himself called this work Vision, he had called an earlier, related painting of a pregnant woman Hope. By association with the earlier work, this one has become known as Hope, II. There is, however, a richness here to balance the women's gravity.
Klimt was among the many artists of his time who were inspired by sources not only within Europe but far beyond it. He lived in Vienna, a crossroads of East and West, and he drew on such sources as Byzantine art, Mycenean metalwork, Persian rugs and miniatures, the mosaics of the Ravenna churches, and Japanese screens. In this painting the woman's gold-patterned robe—drawn flat, as clothes are in Russian icons, although her skin is rounded and dimensional—has an extraordinary decorative beauty. Here, birth, death, and the sensuality of the living exist side by side suspended in equilibrium.

If I woke up completely blind I would scream get a cane go find my eye doctor and beat him with it. I wasted 6 year wearing glasses to become blind!
I'd be like "well, looks like I've got myself in a bind! How will I get out of this one?" and then one of those wacky cartoon sounds comes on.
I'd get away with anything. My excuse is legit too.
"I'm blind dood."
I'd learn braille too.
Brilliant, you just described the plot of the movie Blindness down to a tee.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
First I would think it's a dream, then I would complete freak out, then I would stumble my way to get some help and go to see a doctor. (I am glumsy when I can see where I am goin' so just imagine what kind of destruction awaits if I can't see anything..)
No problem, my grandfather on my mothers side was a bat, and I'm pretty sure I've inherited many bat like tendencies from him.

If I one day would woke up blind I would scream, cry, and then see if I could find some clothes and then I would walk to my neighbour and ask for help. And of course I would call my mother. I tend to always do that when Im really sad... Mommys-girl-guilty-of-charge. <3

Say its just a dream and that when I wake up from it all, everything will be okay; cuss up a storm, bargain with a god, stop giving a poo about it and go into a depressed mode, then eventually accept the fact that I'm blind and obtain a seeing eye dog with the little funds I have.
That or get an implant of a tooth in my eye.
being blind would be great, "i am able to see what others cannot see-- i appreciate things more than how others see them" (that's what my blind friend told me one time, a great inspiration)
I honestly would deny it and try to go back to sleep. If it were true, I'd cry for an hour, then thank god that I can still hear so I can listen to music. Then I'd probably beg for robotic eyes. (I read somewhere that it's possible to hook up artificial lens to a computer chip, then attach it to your brain.)

This invention pertains to downloading program code to a device through an interface to replace or add to present microcode.
As electronic devices have become more sophisticated, they now typically include computing components such as a processor, volatile memory, non-volatile memory and at least one interface to other components of the device. Microcode for directing the activity of the processor is usually resident in the non-volatile memory, and is typically loaded into the volatile memory and executed by the processor to perform various activities and operations. Computer peripherals, such as serial ports, USB hubs, modems, disk drives, network interface cards, and printers are especially suited for these types of components.
Supporting computer peripherals in the field, especially printers, can be difficult because, in many cases, specialized routines must be loaded into the printer in order to diagnose problems.
Reference in this regard may be had to U.S. Pat. No. 5,768,495, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Printer Diagnostics," by Campbell et al., issued Jun. 16, 1998.
Supporting the microcode of a printer at a customer site is also a difficult process because, more often than not, diagnosing and correction of microcode problems requires a customer engineer to be physically present at the printer. This is a disadvantage in that it results in a higher support cost because of travel time, availability of tools, etc. In order to install new microcode, the new microcode must be downloaded into the non-volatile memory of the device. This may require a special hardware and/or software interface. In most cases, the operating system of the computer controlling the printer controls all access to the printer and only provides a user with operations related to the function of the device, for example, printing. In this example, the computer would provide no facility to download anything other than print jobs to the printer. When the operating system permits no other access, a special application running under the operating system may be required to download new program code. Utilizing such an application involves obtaining the application, installing the application, and invoking the application in order to perform the installation.
To further complicate matters, the operating system may not relinquish control of the printer to the application and may have to be disabled or shut down in order to run the application for performing such a download.
Other techniques include embedding a special code within a data field of a known control code for the particular peripheral. The data field and the special code may be chosen such that the possibility of the special code being used as actual data in that data field is extremely low. Upon recognizing the control code coupled with the special code in the data field, the peripheral waits for a specific second command. If the specific second command is received the peripheral loads the data attached to that subsequent command as new microcode, and reboots.
Reference in this regard may be had to U.S. Pat. No. 5,659,801, entitled, "Method and Apparatus for Replacing Resident Peripheral Device Control Microcode by Download via an Application Program," by W. Kopsaftis, issued Aug. 19, 1997.
It is a first object and advantage of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for downloading microcode to a device without requiring the use of specialized downloading hardware or application routines.
It is a further object and advantage of this invention to download microcode to a device by delivering it in a format that the device is already adapted to receive.
It is still further an object and advantage of this invention to download microcode to a device by downloading an executable program to the device in a format that the device is already adapted to receive, and then running the executable program.
The foregoing and other problems are overcome and the objects of the invention are realized by methods and apparatus in accordance with embodiments of this invention.
A method for updating microcode of a printer is disclosed which includes the steps of embedding a microcode update file as a module in a print job file, inputting the print job file to the printer, recognizing that the print job file includes the microcode update file, and writing the microcode update file to a memory area in the printer indicated in the print job file. The microcode update file may include an executable program and after writing the microcode update file to memory execution may be transferred to the executable program.
The above set forth and other features of the invention are made more apparent in the ensuing Detailed Description of the Invention when read in conjunction with the attached Drawings, wherein:
The volatile memory 55 includes memory for executing programs, referred to herein as execution memory 57.
The non-volatile memory 60 may have a portion configured as a boot ROM 61. Referring also to
For purposes of this invention, microcode includes the following: CTL code, that is, printer control code which includes routines called by the operating system for accessing and controlling the interaction between the various components of the printer 10; IPDS code, a higher level printer language code for directing the printer engine; flash resource code, that is any code to be stored in flash memory; and, hard disk resource code, that is, any code to be stored on a hard disk. Microcode may also include; twinax NIC code which is code to be stored in non-volatile memory 68 of I/O Interface 75 (
As shown in
Returning to
In accordance with the teachings of this invention a print job file may also include new microcode, also referred to as a microcode update, for updating or extending the current microcode in the non-volatile memory 60. The current microcode in the non-volatile memory 60 is assumed to include routines for receiving a print job file 97 into volatile memory 55, recognizing the print job file 97 as including a microcode update, and then performing operations based on information in the microcode update.
Still referring to
When a microcode update file has been downloaded and processed, as will be explained below, the processor 50 may cause a status page 140 to be printed as shown in
When a microcode update file has been downloaded and processed, as will be explained below, the processor 50 may cause a status page 140 to be printed as shown in
Returning to
Bytes 249 through 254 (200) may include optional data, and byte 255(205) is a lead out string indicating the end of the file header 100.
Each individual module includes its own header 110, as shown in
Bytes 102–105 (240) of the module header 110 include the total number of bytes that the module encompasses, excluding the module header 110. The following four bytes 245 indicate a checksum for the module. The checksum is preferably calculated as a 16 bit truncated sum of module header bytes 0–105, plus the sum of the bytes of the module body 105. Bytes 110–127 (250) are for optional data.
Turning now to
The microcode update file is configured as module body 105 and a corresponding module header 110 is constructed. The module header 110 and body 105 are placed in a print job file 97 as shown in step B. As mentioned above, the file header 100 of print job file 97 is constructed with information that identifies it as including a microcode update. The print job file is sent to the printer 10 in step C through any interface that is capable of receiving a print job file, preferably the I/O interface 75 (
In step D the current microcode controlling the processor 50 in the printer 10 recognizes the print job file 97 as a microcode update.
If the microcode update file includes a new executable there is also an option available to allow the new executable to download the remainder of the print job file 97, wherein the current microcode passes the pointers to the remainder of the print job file 97 to the new executable once it has been downloaded and is running. This option is designated in the file header 100 of the print job file 97 in byte 248 (195 in
As shown in step E, if bit 0=0, the option is not active, and all other bits are ignored. The print job file is recognized only as including a microcode update, and each module is treated as data. As such, each module is downloaded to volatile memory 55. As shown in step F, the modules are copied into the storage device 63 and directory 64 (and subdirectory 65 if specified) designated in the respective module header 110 by bytes 60–100 (230 in
As shown in step H, if bit 0=1, the option is active and the first module header 110 1 and body 105 1 are downloaded into volatile memory 55, and the contents of the first module body 105 1 are written into the storage area and directory 230 designated in the first module header 110 1. In step I the current microcode then loads the new executable from the storage device 63 and directory 64 into execution memory 57 through an operating system call that enables dynamic downloading of new executables to execution memory 57. By dynamic downloading it is meant that the new executable may be loaded as the next task while the processor is performing another task. The operating system call also records and registers the names of any procedure that may be included in the new executable so it can be utilized by the current microcode if required. The new executable contains fixed name procedure calls that allow the current microcode to identify those procedures newly included in the new executable, once the new executable has been loaded into execution memory 57. Once loaded, the processor 50 transfers execution to the newly loaded executable and waits for it to return.
As shown in step J, if bit 1=0, when the operation of the new executable returns, the current microcode resumes control of the processor 50, and the current microcode will download the remainder of the print job file 97. A status page is printed (if not suppressed) including the upper and lower status page descriptors 145, 160. If the download is successful, the new executable is erased from non-volatile memory and the processor 50 reboots.
As shown in step K, if bit 1=1, the new executable will download the rest of the print job file 97 during its operation. In this case the new executable preferably includes additional code to process the remainder of the print job file 97. At this point, the new executable may perform any function that is capable of being programmed, including writing new microcode to non-volatile memory and rebooting. However, if the new executable ends operations and the current microcode resumes control of the processor 50, a status page is printed (if not suppressed) including the upper and lower status page descriptors 145, 160, and if there are no errors, the new executable is erased from non-volatile memory and the processor 50 reboots.
Although described above in the context of specific computer peripherals, I/O interfaces, printer architectures, specific numbers of data fields, lengths of data fields, and specific arrangements of data fields in the print job file 97, and the various headers 100, 110 contained therein, those skilled in the art should appreciate that these are exemplary and indicative of presently preferred embodiments of these teachings, and are not intended to be read or construed in a limiting sense upon these teachings.

text: Wow, I just stumbled accros this durring my daily LGBTQIA News search... AIDS Treatment Delayed for MinoritiesBy Randy DotingaHealthDay Reporter April 12, 2004 (HealthDayNews) -- Most doctors considered gender, race and income when they decided whether to prescribe powerful drugs to AIDS patients in the late 1990s, new research suggests.The doctors seemed to think that some groups were automatically less likely to take the drugs as directed, said study co-author Dr. Mitchell D. Wong. "Latinos got treated later than whites, women got treated later than men, and people who were poor got treated later than those who were wealthy," said Wong, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. And, he added, treatment for blacks often was postponed regardless of whether the doctors were scrupulous about providing treatment to patients they didn't think would follow directions. While Wong said the study doesn't confirm the existence of racism in doctors' offices, he thinks it does seem to show physicians are making assumptions based on race and other factors. "If our hypothesis is true, physicians are perceiving these patients as being less adherent" to a drug regimen, he said. The findings appear in the April issue of the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Although doctors first diagnosed AIDS cases in the United States in the early 1980s, effective treatments didn't appear until the mid-1990s. Drug companies began releasing a variety of drugs known as protease inhibitors, which allow many patients to lower levels of the AIDS virus in their blood. Initially, doctors feared patients might become more sick if they couldn't follow strict, complicated drug regimens that pinpointed the exact times they needed to take the drugs, Wong said. Although advances since then have made the drugs easier to take, doctors still worry about patients who don't take them as directed, he added. The risk is that the virus will use the brief respites from treatment to develop resistance and become immune to the drugs. In the new study, Wong and his colleagues examined surveys of 1,717 AIDS patients and 367 doctors from 1996 to 1998. Almost 90 percent of the doctors said adherence -- sticking to directions -- was an important factor in their prescription practices. Those doctors were more likely to delay treatment for women, Latinos and the poor. Almost all the doctors, including those who didn't worry about adherence, were more likely to delay treatment for blacks than for whites, the researchers found. However, the research didn't show that any of the delays in treatment trimmed the life spans of patients. Postponing treatment is not always a bad thing, said Dr. David Bangsberg, an associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. It can make sense if patients need to be treated for depression or drug abuse, he added. "The problem comes when therapy is delayed to the point where someone is severely ill or dies," he said. "There comes a point where you have to treat everybody." Both Wong and Bangsberg said the next step is to help doctors make better decisions about starting and postponing treatment.

If you have reserved your position as to jurisdiction, does the fact that you have paid the adjudicator's fees mean that you are treating the adjudicator's decision as binding and have waived or lost the right to maintain that objection? In the case here, the adjudicator's terms and conditions said this:
"1. Each party to the reference shall be liable for my fees on a joint and several basis save that if, in my sole discretion, I consider that I have no jurisdiction to proceed with the reference my fees shall be payable solely by the Referring Party
. . .
3. My fees will be payable notwithstanding that my decision is subsequently found by a court to be unenforceable by reason of lack of jurisdiction."
The Claimant here said that neither party had expressly accepted the adjudicator's terms during the adjudication. Silence cannot amount to acceptance and so the terms and conditions were not agreed. Mr Justice Fraser noted that the agreement of the Defendant to the adjudicator was done following a full reservation of right. Further, it is possible to signify acceptance of proposed contract terms by conduct and this is what the Defendant did.
Whilst there are cases where, by paying the adjudicator's fees, a party has lost the right to object to a decision, this was not the case here. Taken together, the express terms of the letter reserving the Defendant's rights and clause 3 of the adjudicator's terms and conditions were "compelling" evidence to allow the Defendant to challenge jurisdiction on enforcement, regardless of the payment by the Defendant of the adjudicator's fees.

We believe the transformational learning occurs in the context of doing, reflecting, learning, and doing again. The MTTP is high experiential and also includes a required practicum project in which participants will create and deliver a one-day mindfulness workshop with support from the MTTP leaders on each step of that process.
Between the 3rd and 4th Study Weekend participants will work together or individually to create and deliver a one-day mindfulness workshop in their local community or workplace. This Practicum Project will integrate learning from the first 4 blocks and provide a rich learning opportunity.
Note that you may use video collected and materials created for the Practicum Project as part of your Certification Portfolio, or you may find it wiser to collect this material using teaching you organize after the close of the MTTP-MF program.
Mindfulness is deeply rooted in our personal experience, study and from-the-inside-out understanding of the practice. For this reason we're delighted to offer a full 7-day meditation retreat during which we'll explore some of the Buddhist roots of mindfulness.
We'll also have the opportunity to see a weekend mindfulness retreat for newer mindfulness students in action. In April we'll join with other mindfulness students in a weekend mindfulness retreat led by Tim and other Mindfulness Northwest faculty.
Embodiment of the practices and teaching from that direct, personal experience, is a core aspect of mindfulness teaching. The MTTP strongly supports daily practice, including a structured program of practice through each Learning Block, and include regular check-ins with faculty around personal experience of daily practice.
Much of the learning will happen during five 4 to 6 week long distance-based Learning Blocks, each of these Blocks is followed by a Study Weekend in person in Bellingham.
During the Learning Blocks we will be:
Approximate total time commitment during the learning blocks:
After each Learning Block we will gather in Bellingham for an in-person Study Weekend.
During the Study Weekend we will:
The Study Weekends are full, rich, and a lot of fun. Note that food and lodging in Bellingham is not included in the program fee. These are non-residential weekend retreats. (Room and board are included at the retreats in the program).
Arrive Friday dinner time in Bellingham and plan to spend Friday and Saturday nights in Bellingham, leaving lunch time on Sunday.
Study Weekends are held in Bellingham.
Friday 7pm-9pm, evening meeting
Saturday 6am-8:30am, optional Buddhist meditation
Breakfast break
Saturday 10am - 1pm, morning session
Lunch break
Saturday 2pm - 5pm, afternoon session
Dinner break
Saturday 7pm - 9pm, evening session
Sunday 9:30am - 1pm, Sunday session
In this comprehensive mindfulness teacher training we will study:
The Buddhist roots of mindfulness: we will focus on all three major branches of Buddhism (Early/Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana) and consider both ancient texts and teachings and modern commentaries, applications, and even criticisms of the modern mindfulness movement.
The Scientific roots of mindfulness: here we'll learn about the physiology and psychology of stress response, consider the positive and destructive aspects of our relationship to stressors, and study positive psychology, the science of meditation, and cognitive neuroscience. As with Buddhism we'll read original "texts" (scientific papers) as well as commentary, essay, and critical thinking on the effects of evidence-based mindfulness-based interventions.
We'll practice deeply in all of the principal practices used in mindfulness training including the body scan, mindful yoga, sitting and walking meditation. Our teaching faculty's deep background in meditation training allows us to explore the three major areas of sitting meditation practice (body/movement practice, settling practice ("shamatha"), inquiry practice ("insight" or "vipassana"), and cultivation practices)with tie ins to both Buddhist roots and scientific research into each practice.
From the first we will start practicing the leadership skills needed to lead subtle, quiet, and powerful mindfulness and compassion practices. And the skills needed to organize and run a learning community oriented classroom. The best compliment we hope you will someday receive from a client or student is that you know how to show up, how to run the program, and how to get "out of the way" and allow participants to learn and develop in ways most appropriate for their own needs.
The MTTP process emphasizes transformational learning. We learn most deeply by doing, considering, study, conversation, and doing again. Accordingly the MTTP is highly experiential, emphasizing daily practice, retreat work, peer practice, reading and reflection, and the completion of a hands-on Practicum Project in which you'll design and deliver a mindfulness workshop in your community or workplace.
The MTTP is broadly about learning to teach mindfulness and create mindfulness programs in a flexible, creative way. We will consider the classic curriculum of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction but we'll also study adaptation and creation of new programs based on the proven success of the MBSR model. Lead instructor Tim Burnett has extensive experience creating new courses and workshops to suit a variety of situations in institutions and community settings.
Our goal is for MTTP participants to become both deeply grounded and highly flexible and adaptive. The MTTP is learning core components of mindfulness and ways of assembling those components into a course or training that matches the situation you find yourself in.

Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington offensive tackle Keenan Taylor made a verbal commitment to Kansas State last summer. The three-star rated prospect has seen some attention grow since the commitment and took his first official visit this past weekend.
"I did visit Oklahoma State this weekend," the 6-foot-4, 249-pound Taylor said. "The visit went good. I enjoyed myself.
"They did not offer me a scholarship. They told me they didn't know yet if they would be or not. They told me they'd let me know this week before I went on my trip to Kansas State if I was getting an offer."
Article Continues Below
Taylor's visit to see the Wildcat program is schedule to be this coming weekend, January 23.
"I will take the visit to Kansas State either way. If Oklahoma State offers me, it won't make me decide to stay home. I want to take the trip and then look at the choices if they do offer."

Funeral doom is a genre that is generally filled with sounds of despair, depressive imagery, pain, and solitude. People coming into this album expecting that in heavy doses may be slightly disappointed. I, on the other hand was happily surprised and impressed with this release and I sat captivated by every keyboard laced and epic song the album had to offer. This is an album that must be experienced with no distractions, and must be experienced with an open mind for long term listeners of the funeral doom genre.
Shadows Over The Cosmos managed to immerse me in a tranquil and relaxing listening experience. Though the genre's notorious bleakness perpetrated by the cover artwork does begin to show a little more prominently near the end of the album, it does not bring down anything put forth or evoked in the previous tracks. The album flows very nicely and if you are in the mood for this kind of music it doesn't wear out its welcome.
The production is excellent, and a step above Megaliths Of The Abyss. The keyboards are, for me, the highlight of this album. I've heard them described as majestic on this album and I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly. They are really what make this album standout. The melodies created may often give you chills and bring you into the music even more. This is a musical journey worth taking.
This is not the most original album, and definitely not a genre changer, but everything is executed so well that it is, for me, a very worthwhile listen. People who have trouble with repetition and simplicity may be turned off by this album, but chances are that if you are turned off by those things in the first place you are not a huge fan of funeral doom.
Overall I highly recommend this album as it is an atmospheric, epic, and tranquil listen that is not worth missing out on.

A WELSH doctor, accused of failing to prevent the practice of organ retention at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, was cleared of serious professional misconduct yesterday.
Dr John Martin, 68, was medical director at the Liverpool hospital from 1991 until his retirement in 1997.
He was accused of failing to take proper action when he discovered in 1994 that Professor Dick van Velzen - the pathologist at the centre of the organ retention scandal - had taken body parts from a dead teenager during a post mortem, against the wishes of the parents.
A General Medical Council tribunal in Manchester found that Dr Martin, of Holywell, Flintshire, did fail to take proper action.
However, it found that while the failure was "inappropriate and inadequate", it did not amount to serious professional misconduct.
Chairman Professor Denis McDevitt said, "We accept that you made limited investigations and that you ensured that the relevant professionals, the parents and the patient's GP were fully informed of the situation as outlined to you.
"We consider that more thorough investigations should have been made and steps taken to ensure that this situation never happened again.
"We have therefore judged your actions to be inappropriate and inadequate.
"However, taking into account the circumstances prevailing at the time, we do not consider your actions could be considered to be a serious breach of your responsibilities as a medical director.
"We have therefore concluded that the facts found proved are insufficient to support a finding of serious professional misconduct."
The tribunal found there was no proof that Dr Martin failed to act on information about inadequacies and delays in the hospital's pathology service.
In 1999 it emerged that hundreds of babies and children had been stripped of their organs during post mortems at Alder Hey, without the consent or knowledge of their parents.
In many cases parents had to hold multiple funerals for their children as body parts were returned separately.
Dr Martin said, "I'm pleased and relieved at the GMC's verdict and that this case is finally over. This has been an ordeal for all involved.
"I'm glad that the GMC has recognised that the actions, which I took in good faith and on the information available at the relevant time, did not amount to serious professional misconduct."
Dr Martin added that he was "enormously touched" by the support he had received from family, professional colleagues and former patients.

ACG Closes Second Fund
Alliance Consumer Growth Fund, which has become a well-known quantity on the beverage circuit because of its constant hunt for rapidly-growing, well-defined consumer brands, has raised a second fund of $90 million — double the amount of its original, $44 million ACG Fund I.
The company, started by Josh Goldin, Julian Steinberg and Trevor Nelson, recently invested in juice brand Suja as the final act of its first fund. ACG Fund II will have the same strategy of investing minority "growth equity" into brands that are connecting with consumers, its founders say. ACG Fund II invested in barkTHINS, a brand of "snacking chocolates," as its first placement earlier this year.
Full release is below:
Alliance Consumer Growth Announces Successful Completion of ACG Fund II

NEW YORK, NY, April 10, 2014. Alliance Consumer Growth ("ACG"), a private equity firm that specializes in investing in the most promising emerging consumer products, retail and restaurant brands, today announced the first and final closing of Alliance Consumer Growth Fund II, L.P., with total capital commitments of $90 million. ACG Fund II, which was oversubscribed, and raised in two months, received strong support from existing limited partners as well as new investors.
Founded in 2011 by Josh Goldin, Julian Steinberg and Trevor Nelson, ACG specializes in providing minority growth capital, and value-added industry expertise, to promising, high-growth consumer, retail and restaurant companies. ACG typically makes investments of up to $10 million of growth equity per company, into rapidly-growing brands with at least $5 to $25 million of annual sales. ACG's debut fund, Alliance Consumer Growth Fund, L.P., invested in "rising star" brands including Babyganics, The Honest Kitchen, Kriser's Pets, KRAVE Jerky, Shake Shack, Suja Juice and EVOL Foods (acquired by Boulder Brands).
ACG Fund II–which will invest behind the same strategy successfully deployed in ACG Fund I–has already completed its first investment, a growth equity investment in emerging snack food brand barkTHINS.
"We are truly honored to have earned the trust and support of the consumer-retail entrepreneur and investor communities" said ACG co-founder Josh Goldin. "We look forward to continuing to help fuel and grow tomorrow's iconic consumer, retail and restaurant brands, and to delivering strong returns to our limited partners."
ACG's legal advisor was Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel; and no fund placement agent was used. ACG's debut fund, Alliance Consumer Growth Fund, L.P., was launched in 2011 with total capital commitments of $44 million.

I am surprising my husband for our first anniversary with a trip to Boston to see the Red Sox (he grew up there and has been a lifelong fan) and enjoy the city. I would love recommendations for both our anniversary dinner (special, unique location) and for other "can't miss" eateries to hit during our Friday-Monday trip. We are both adventuresome in our food tastes. Proximity to our hotel is a plus (we're staying at the W), but not a requirement.
Cheers, and thanks to all!

Can the downpipe and decat be easily mated to the oem exhaust by any exhaust place? Also I was wondering would there be any advantage of removing either the two mid boxes and just having the rear box or just removing one and having the two boxes or would this be too loud? Thanks

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) or more commonly known as "Obamacare", is the broadest sweeping piece of U.S. legislation passed in the last 50 years.

In October of 2013 many americans were shocked to find out just HOW MUCH the new Obamacare plans were going to cost them, even WITH a premium subsidy. That same month I started getting calls from clients of all over the country asking "what can we do, we can't afford these new health insurance premiums"? In this short video training series you'll find out exactly what I'm doing for my OWN family's coverage and what steps I'm advising my own clients to take to protect them from the new law.Read More detail

WorldServe brings clean and safe drinking water to East African communities in need to accelerate education, health, and opportunity. We partner with visionary people – from academia, business, and communities of faith – to facilitate sustainable water projects with incredible impact, especially for children and women. Today, more than 3,000,000 people receive clean water from projects funded and/or facilitated by Worldserve.
Dirty water kills more people each year than all forms of violence, including war. Clean water improves health, increases school attendance, and strengthens local economies.
Our primary strategy is drilling water well boreholes equipped with solar power and standardized components. We also work to retrofit and repair wells created by others, making them more sustainable.
We hope you will join us in bringing clean water – the foundation of life – to East Africa by providing a one-time or monthly tax-deductible contribution.
Working with leading academic institutions at home and abroad, we can more rapidly advance desperately needed innovations to humanitarian challenges. WorldServe's practical, boots-on-the-ground experience provides our academic partners with the means to deploy research-based solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time.
WorldServe was founded by business people who recognized both the great challengers and potential of East Africa and its people. We help businesses willing to apply both heart and head to community needs in East Africa. With relationships developed over two decades, we are uniquely able to help businesses "do good" and "do well."
Individuals and congregations of all faiths work with WorldServe. Seeking to live their faith by creating positive change through the compassionate provision of clean water, religious organizations are among our strongest WorldServe partners. Water projects are provided for people of all faiths and in a multitude of countries in East Africa.

Road to Heaven Trailer (2014)
01 January 2014
'Road to Heaven' tells the story of a young Sikh's pilgrimage across India. His journey leads him along the 'Grand Trunk Road', an ancient trading route and one of the most dangerous roads in the world, from Kolkata in the east to Amritsar in the west where it ends at the spiritual centre of Sikhism. On the way to his journey's end, the golden temple of Amritsar, he is confronted with the reality of his country, in which corruption, social evils and violence towards women create the fabric of society. The road to heaven invariably leads him through purgatory.
Watch the official Road to Heaven 2014 trailer in HD below or find more Road to Heaven videos on Vidimovie.

Time your visit very carefully. Last year, a poster at Helsinki airport read: "No one in their right mind would come to Helsinki in November. Except you, you badass. Welcome." Winter in Helsinki is indeed bleak and likely to defeat your spirit. It's cold and dark nearly around the clock. Come May, though, the city is reborn. It warms up to 70+ degrees Fahrenheit, endless daylight will drive you delightfully mad, and locals are like eager dogs unleashed into a vast meadow. I moved from Helsinki to London a few years ago, but I still try to come back at least twice every summer to bask in the joy of the season.
Go for experiences, not sights. Helsinki has no attractions to rival the Eiffel Tower, or even a quaint Old Town. So, after you've Instagrammed the two main churches, the peculiar Sibelius monument, and the ice-breakers in the harbor, ditch the tourist trail. You can dance with dapper young locals at traditional daytime folk dances, or go skinny dipping in Töölönlahti Bay by moonlight, or forage for mushrooms and berries in the central park. Like music festivals? Weekend caters to mainstream electroheads, the free Kallio Block Party draws urban hippies, and Sideways attracts discerning indie music fans. For budding entrepreneurs, Slush has become one of the most celebrated start-up networking events in the world. Plus, 2017 marks Finland's 100th birthday, so expect even more celebratory gatherings.

Race > Chuksang – Muktinath (optional Lupra (2800m) – Jomsom (2720m))
From Chuksang, there is a long steady climb to the Gyu La (4030m) through the amazing mud and wood village of Tangbe, and there is a stunning view waiting for you from the pass. This is followed by a fast descent on good trails to Muktinath.
A short-ish run but plenty of climb and hard work after this week of high-altitude effort.
There is the option to complete a full loop by running to Jomsom (2-3 hours) or taking a shared taxi back to the hotel. So far, 90% of people have chosen the latter!
Here's the village on the way:

Is it a hummingbird, is it a plane? No, it's just a moth
IT'S the great hummingbird contest.
Dozens of keen birdwatchers have called BirdWatch Ireland in recent days claiming to have spotted the rare tiny bird across the country.
But the excited 'twitchers' have had their wings clipped after being told what they thought was a hummingbird is not even a bird after all.
According to BirdWatch Ireland, people have been mistaking the hummingbird hawk-moth for the elusive bird.
The moth mimics the beak of the hummingbird when searching out pollen from flowers. It even flaps its wings like the bird and has developed a humming sound.
Niall Hatch of Birdwatch Ireland said his organisation had been swamped with sightings of hummingbirds.
And Mr Hatch revealed that people are getting into a flap when told they have made a mistake.
"Most people are taking it well but others think we are trying to have a laugh at their expense when we tell them they haven't seen a hummingbird.
"The usual reaction is 'I know what I saw.' But when you tell them it was actually a moth they saw it drives some of them mad," he said.
Niall revealed a number of reportings of the 'fake' hummingbird has come from the Aran Islands and around the general coastal regions.
"I can only think that the Aran Islands may have certain species of plants which the hawk-moth is drawn to.
"The moth mostly comes up from France and so it tends to settle in coastal regions and stays there when it lands in Ireland," he said.
Hummingbirds, the only known bird which can fly backwards, are found in America, Canada and the Caribbean.
"They couldn't migrate here because it would be physically impossible for them. Most need to feed every 15 minutes and the journey would be too long.
"So I'm afraid to say that anybody who thinks they have seen a hummingbird in Ireland should look again," added Mr Hatch.
