My own private cloud
Saturday, November 01, 2014
"Hey you, get off of my cloud," Mick Jagger admonishes in the Rolling Stones' 1967 hit song. The tone of the song was clear: Mick and the boys were tired of people's expectations of them.

An American Shipper study from September, produced with Oracle, found data securit...

We understand that you are concerned about costs. To help put your mind at peace we offer most of our services on a flat fee basis. That means, we will be able to quote you the cost up front, and we will not charge you anything after your first payment. There will be no surprises. Because every case is different, we can only tell you how much it will be, once we have discussed your case.
In some cases we will not know at the beginning, what amount of work we will have to put in your case. This often happens when we need to represent you in court. In this case, we will charge you by the hour we spend on your case. We will give you an estimate at the beginning of the case and will ask you to pay a retainer fee.
Your first email or first phone call to us is free. In it we will find out if we can help you in your case. Please understand that we cannot solve your case in that call but only evaluate it for further representation. We will charge you a consultation fee for the initial consultation after the first contact. This fee will be credited if we sign an agreement for further services.
Our fees may not be the cheapest, but they are fair. Competitors who offer much lower fees than we do must compromise on the quality of their work to make ends meet. We do not compromise: you deserve the best.
Yet, our fees are low, because we work very efficiently. And we will not bill you through the backdoor: we will never bill you for photocopies made, etc.
Payment of our fees is due at the beginning of the engagement and can be by check drawn onto an U.S. bank or by credit card. We do not offer payment plans or contingency fees.

Memo to Grant Hill: don't come after Charles Barkley and his suit after Duke gets upset by a 14 seed. Barkley will drop a "Go Mercer" cheer and troll your ass back to Durham.

Finger Lakes Surgery Center Offers Balloon Sinuplasty-Minimally Invasive Procedure
Finger Lakes Health is proud to announce that Dr. Michael DeCicco and Dr. Gregory Carnevale are performing Balloon Sinuplasty, a clinically proven, minimally invasive procedure to safely and effectively treat patients with chronic sinusitis at the Finger Lakes Surgery Center, the regions only free standing ambulatory surgery center.
Sinusitis affects 37 million Americans each year, making it one of the most common health problems. More Americans suffer from sinusitis than diabetes, asthma or coronary heart disease. Until recently, sinusitis patients had limited treatment options. Typical treatment for chronic sinusitis begins with medication, but it is not effective for up to 60% of sinus sufferers. When medical therapy fails, surgery is often recommended, but historically involved painful cutting and removal of bone and tissue to enlarge the sinus opening, and while effective, may lead to post operative pain, bleeding and scarring. Full recovery can take a week or more for patients.
Balloon Sinuplasty uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to open inflamed sinuses. The balloon catheter is placed into the nose to reach the inflamed sinuses, and gradually inflated to restructure the previously blocked sinus passage. Recovery time is quick with the procedure and patients experience durable relief from sinus symptoms as well as improved quality of life.
If you suffer from sinusitis, and medication alone has not been effective in relieving your symptoms, you may be a candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty. Please call Dr. Gregory Carnevale (315) 789-2153 or Dr. Michael DeCicco (315) 787-5353 to schedule your appointment today.

The endocrine system uses hormones to control and coordinate your body's internal metabolism (or homeostasis) energy level, reproduction, growth and development, and response to injury, stress, and environmental factors. Consider the following hormones and their role in the workings of the endocrine system:
Where the hormone is produced
Hormone(s) secreted
Hormone function
Adrenal glands
Regulates salt, water balance, and blood pressure
Controls key functions in the body; acts as an anti-inflammatory; maintains blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and muscle strength; regulates salt and water balance
Pituitary gland
Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)
Affects water retention in kidneys; controls blood pressure
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Controls production of sex hormones (estrogen in women and testosterone in men) and the production of eggs in women and sperm in men.
Growth hormone (GH)

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Stimulates the production and secretion of thyroid hormones
Renin and angiotensin
Controls blood pressure, both directly and also by regulating aldosterone production from the adrenal glands
Affects red blood cell (RBC) production
Raises blood sugar levels
Lowers blood sugar levels; stimulates metabolism of glucose, protein, and fat
Affects development of female sexual characteristics and reproductive development, important for functioning of uterus and breasts; also protects bone health
Stimulates the lining of the uterus for fertilization; prepares the breasts for milk production
Parathyroid glands
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Most important regulator of blood calcium levels
Thyroid gland
Thyroid hormone
Controls metabolism; also affects growth, maturation, nervous system activity, and metabolism
Increases heart rate, oxygen intake, and blood flow
Maintains blood pressure
Testes (testicles)
Develop and maintain male sexual characteristics and maturation
Pineal gland
Releases melatonin during night hours to help with sleep
Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)
Regulates growth hormone release in the pituitary gland

treat your drivers with respect. if they don't miss pic ups or delivery times, don't hound them on their own cell. don't make threats to fire driver if they wont come back off home time early. stay away from jobs posted on craigslist.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

Your issue was caused by you loading multiple copies of the jQuery Library on your site.
Loading multiple copies of jQueryUI on your site.
Super Booking does conditional loading ( it does not load jQuery if another extension has already loaded it )
As I pointed out to you, you did not even look at the settings of other extensions you used, all you did was threaten a poor review and PayPal dispute and be rude.
If you still want help, you know where to get it, but you have to co operate.
As it says in email: Download until 5 days after the first download.
When i wrote them a email, no reply. When i wrote email about config question, no reply.
Therefor, an average cause i do believe you should communicate it towards buyers that its only valid 5 days...
In our site already support center you not created any ticket regarding it , just checked you just drop Single Email and not ask for it second time no worry its okay we will send fresh files via Email and for 5 times we already providing support and Extension till 6 Months time any way thanks for your all time with us.
Hello Yamada,
I checked the system and also our forums however there are no purchases or forum entries on your name 'Yamada'.
Did you purchase jLocator from the website?
However regarding your queries:
1. Yes the system does not have option to add fields in current version, we have not mentioned anywhere in our feature list about this feature. It is a good suggestion, which we may implement in future release.
2. We have full demo of jLocator as per above link however since we do not have admin demo we have added images above.
3. Sometime it seems there is delay in support since we have support from 9:00 to 5:00 IST time Monday to Friday, please check terms and condition on our website: http://www.joomlaserviceprovider.com/terms-and-conditions.html
4. I would request you to send me invoice details and we would definitely refund your money if there were any bugs or you are not happy with the extension.
Thanks and Regards,
Hi Yamada,
Yes, the last stable version was released in August, but this should actually speak about the stability of that release. You should also note that there have been several development releases released to all subscribers to test and discuss the progress of the component.
About the forum threads not answered - I would ask all of the JED users to visit our forum and to see for themselves if we answer support requests or not. Let me put a little bit of statistics, because stats never lie: There are total of 2527 topics of which 118 don't have a reply - and if someone want to examine closely - you can see that 99% of those 118 topics are in the "Wish list" category or code contributions from other users. + 99% of those are older than 3 years.
Kind regards,
As author, I feel to provide some feedback anyway. You claim that Dynamic404 shows a 404-error anyway - yes, it does if it is unable to find a proper alternative in the database. It doesn't change any functionality of 404-errors here, nor does it downgrade Google ratings. What it tries to do however, is to search the Joomla! database for alternatives and if it does find an alternative, it removes the 404 and sends 301 redirect to the right page instead. It seems you have somehow not configure Dynamic404 to redirect properly yet. Unfortunate that this leads to a bad review, while a simple support request could have fixed your problem.
The issue with RokWeather pertained to the Google API and its gradual removal from Google's data servers. RokWeather now uses Yahoo and Wunderground, so please download an update to get the module working again: http://www.rockettheme.com/extensions-updates/1601-rokweather-1518-released
I tried it with almost 59000 links in one category and that wil drop your mosets admin area.
It takes upto 30 seconds to even show the admin page and the frontend is just as bad.
the links added have title,a few lines description and weblink,thats it.
On a test i did while going to my mosets admin page this is what my server showed:
Server Load 1.91 (4 cpus) (before request)
Server Load 5.16 (4 cpus) (during request)
Its also to bad it takes so long to release a native version.
However,its good for smaller sites.
We have quite a number of users running large directories without the said performance issue. 30 seconds to load a page is not normal. If you can get in touch with me at http://www.mosets.com/contact/, I'll see to it to get this resolved.
I have a few websites with a gallery but with my mnew joomla 1.5.x versions not much seems to be supported or they are way behind development.
Then i found phoca gallery.
What i like about it is its simplicity to configure your albums.
The simple update feature is great and support by Jan is top.
It does pisses me off that your not notified of this and that without knowing your serving their ads.
I did however expected some support but i didnt received absolutely no reply on my mail.
I can remember long ago when i started using artio the author was available on the forums to help but sometimes complained that all was still free.
I said at that time if we would receive proper support and a good working sef i would pay 25 euro for it..
And damn....thats what he did as it seems.
One minor detail,he killed the support.
Hello, for paying customers, there are other channels than forums that are ment for users to help themselves with out contribution from time to time - please see details at http://www.artio.net/en/support.
And please, next time, before critisizing get some info first.

LAS VEGAS – Pat Riley made his pitch. And now, LeBron James wants time to think.
The Miami Heat president met with the four-time NBA MVP on Wednesday afternoon in Las Vegas, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because neither side publicly disclosed details of the meeting. James, his agent Rich Paul, Riley and Heat executive Andy Elisburg were at the meeting, one of the people said.
James has not made a decision and will not make any announcements before today, a person said, adding, He wants to meet with his family.
As he weighs his options, James will not meet with any other teams, the person added.
So now, Miami waits. So does Cleveland. So, too, does just about the entire NBA – because once James picks the Heat or the Cavaliers, the teams believed to be serious suitors for his services, the domino effect of other free agent moves will surely follow.
The meeting in Las Vegas lasted for more than an hour and took place more than two weeks after James opted out of his contract and elected to become a free agent, and the day before free agents may begin signing contracts.
James spent part of his day before the meeting at his annual skills academy with some of the nation's top high school and college players, interacting and observing workouts. That was part of the reason why Riley had to fly across the country to make the meeting happen.
Several teams have met with Paul during the free-agent process, but it appears James has only one decision to make: Cleveland or Miami, the same choice he pondered four years ago when he decided to play with the Heat. With James, the Heat won four Eastern Conference titles and two NBA championships.
The Cavaliers didn't sit idle waiting for James and Riley to meet.
Cleveland created salary-cap space earlier Wednesday with a three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets, ensuring they have enough to offer the James a maximum contract.
The Cavs agreed to trade guard Jarrett Jack, swingman Sergey Karasev and center Tyler Zeller, a person familiar with the deals told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because teams are not permitted to discuss trades until the league's moratorium ends today.
In the trade, Cleveland will receive guard Marcus Thornton from the Nets and send him, Zeller and a future first-round pick to the Celtics. Also, the Cavs are trading Jack and Karasev to the Nets.
In trading those salaries, the Cavs have enough to give James a maximum, $20.7 million contract – if he decides to sign with Cleveland.
With open roster spots, Cleveland isn't done.
Not long after making the trade with the Celtics and Nets, the Cavs had exploratory discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves about a possible trade for three-time All-Star Kevin Love – if James does return to Cleveland, said a person with knowledge of the inquiry.
The Timberwolves would be looking for No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins to be part of any potential package from Cleveland in order to consider parting with Love if the talks were to become more serious, the person said, speaking with the AP on condition of anonymity because neither team publicly announced the conversation.
But James had said he would meet with Riley and the Heat before making his decision.
The meeting came nearly three weeks after Riley addressed reporters following Miami's loss to San Antonio in the NBA Finals, when he insisted that the Heat needed to make some adjustments to get better – but didn't need a massive rebuilding job to stay at a championship level.
You've got to stay together if you've got the guts, and you don't find the first door and run out of it if you have an opportunity, Riley said on June 19. This is four years now into this era, this team, four finals. It's only been done three other times before. And two championships.
From day one to the end, it was like a Broadway show. Sort of ran out of steam, and we need to retool. We don't need to rebuild, we need to retool, and that's what we're going to do.
If James leaves, it'll be more than a retooling project that awaits Miami.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh – the other members of Miami's Big 3 of the past four seasons – are also free agents, and neither has given any hint as to what they will do, though it's still expected Wade will not leave the Heat.
Miami has just two players under contract for next season, one of those on a partially guaranteed deal.
The Heat have also reached agreements with forwards Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger, as well as the draft rights to guard Shabazz Napier, but there are still plenty of jobs to be filled.

We strongly feel that the working professionals are the ones who
are responsible for advancing their field. Therefore, research
devoted to improving this profession is consistent and remains an
important aspect of International Bird Rescue.
International Bird Rescue's research program primarily focuses on improving the field of oiled wildlife care and response and the general rehabilitation of aquatic birds through practical application of new techniques, clinical trials and post-release studies. We also work with other wildlife experts and specialists on many projects.
• Revising and developing new sea bird
• Developing protocol for the control of airborne fungal disease in oiled birds,
• Researching long-term alcid rehabilitation techniques,
• Improving caging for difficult species (Loons and Grebes),
• Assisting avian specialists in post release radio telemetry studies on rehabilitated oiled birds and
• Collecting blood normals for each species.
Much of our knowledge on oiled bird care is learned during actual spill responses where many animals are presented for our care, where we are given the immediate opportunity to apply new techniques and gain information on managing large numbers of birds. The life of birds always takes precedent over our research. Our goal is to continually improve the science of oiled wildlife rehabilitation. We also co-sponsor an Effects on Oiled Wildlife Conference. EOW website (More info coming soon)
Oil ingested by wildlife can damage internal organs such as the liver and kidneys, as well as destroy tissue in the digestive system. The development of medical treatments can reverse these effects and are crucial to insure the survival of these animals.

Report: Homosexuality no factor in abusive priests
– Updated their "Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services." The new language states that medically assisted nutrition and hydration, while not mandatory in every case, should be provided to all patients who would benefit, including those in a persistent vegetative state. However, the aid should not be provided if it becomes "excessively burdensome" for a patient who is very close to death, the revision states.
– Gave final approval to an English translation of the Roman Missal that has been in development for years. After the Vatican gives its final authorization, the new translation will be adopted by parishes nationwide, possibly next year.

Con-way Truckload, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and American Trucking Associations team up for National Distracted Driving Awareness MonthCon-way Truckload, a full truckload carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc., hosted an event this morning with the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) and American Trucking Associations' (ATA) America's Road Team (ART) in recognition of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
During a press conference held at Con-way Truckload's headquarters in Joplin, Mo., representatives from the three organizations highlighted key safety tips for sharing the road with trucks, including distracted driving and blind spot awareness, as well as safe following and passing distances. Con-way professional drivers and ART Captains Stephanie Klang and David May were also on hand to offer firsthand safety perspectives and demonstrate safe driving skills during ride-alongs in ATA's 'Share the Road' tractor-trailer.
'A fully loaded tractor-trailer can take the length of a football field to come to a complete stop,' noted ART Captain and Con-way Professional Driver Stephanie Klang. 'This is probably a surprise to the motoring public. There's simply no room for distraction on the roads ' events like these present a powerful way to educate the public that we all play a role in keeping our roadways safe.'
At the event, the MSHP introduced its 'Gone Too Soon' campaign, a multimedia program focused on educating drivers about the dangers of distracted or impaired driving, seatbelt safety and speeding. According to Lt. John Hotz, assistant director, public information and education division, Missouri State Highway Patrol, the state recorded nearly 20,000 distracted driver related crashes in the first three quarters of 2012 alone.
Con-way Truckload executives also spoke about the various safety and training programs at the company, stressing the importance of driver awareness and their commitment to keeping roads safe.
'Safety is our number one core value at Con-way and we invest heavily in training and technology to ensure that we are one of safest carriers in the industry,' said Bert Johnson, vice president, human resources and director of driver recruitment and safety, Con-way Truckload. 'Distracted driving is serious problem on America's roads. As a transportation company, we can become a part of the solution by sharing our knowledge and expertise in safe driving skills. We want to make sure everyone makes it home safely every day, not just our drivers.'

History of the Church
(Most of this information is taken from the St.James' Church fact sheet, available at the back of the church. This was produced by a sub committee of the Parochial Church Council chaired by Mavis Brown-Humes. Illustrations by Rosanna Tooley. Some of the text is taken from an article loaned by Mavis Brown-Humes. Our thanks to Ted Bloor for permission to use this material.)
There are more photographs on the St. James' Gallery page and there is a comprehensive description, available in the church, of the various stone grave covers that are now affixed to the walls.
The Church was founded around 1180 as a Chapel of Ease for St. Andrew's Auckland. It is half a mile east of the village. The reason for this has always been a mystery. The church is stone built and was originally rectangular in shape. The south transept was added later probably as a chantry chapel, and the north transept later still, giving the building its present cruciform plan.
(1) The font is thought to be contemporary with the old church, circa 1180. The carved wooden cover was added in 1975.
(2) The west window was opened up in the 17th century.
(3) The nave has four monuments on the north wall dating from circa 1769 to 1940. The roof was restored in 1960-1.
(4) The North Transept. In the north wall is a 13th century window. There is a wooden hatchment of the Surtees family in the east wall.The image is of a stone carving in the west wall of the north transept. The organ was installed in 1985. It was built by Nelson of Durham circa 1810 and rebuilt and extended by H.A. Prested of Durham. The restored 18th century box pew can be seen in front of the vestry screen and was erected in 1992.
(5) The pulpit was a gift of Mr. Henry Chaytor of Witton Castle and installed in 1885. The tiles in the panels illustrate stories from Pilgrim' Progress.
(6) The chancel is 13th century (this is the part of the east end of the church where the altar is placed).On the north wall is a grey limestone slab containing the matrix of a brass cross with trefoiled ends dating from the 14th century. At the base of the shaft there has been an animal of some sort, possibly a lion couchant. On the south wall there is a large sandstone slab dated at about 1250 because of the round-leaf trefoils flanking the shaft of the cross. These designs have been interpreted as emblems of the Passion. Although it has been implied that the spear and dice box at the foot of the cross "cast aspersions on the character of the priest interred beneath". The chancel roof is supported by four corbels: the two on the south have carvings of the arms of the See of Durham and of the Surtees family, whereas the two on the north side have carvings of the arms of the Blenkinsopp and Rawlings families and of a griffin of unknown origin. The family tomb of the Blenkinsopps of Hoppyland Hall lies between the choir stalls. The church 'suffered greatly from the restoration' in 1883-4 when the chancel roof was made out of cement, supported by iron railway sleepers and drainpipes. This roof became cracked in the summer heat and had to be removed in 1908 when a new roof was provided. The roof was restored in 1960-1. Inside, the oak barrelled roof was built in 1908. The beautiful stained glass in three lights of the east window was designed and made by L.C. Evetts of Woolsington Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, and installed in 1949 in memory of a former parishioner. It depicts Christ's Passion with various events leading up to Easter Day. "W.W." is a monogram of the Greek letters alpha and omega. The sockets for the rood screen can still be seen below the chancel arch.
(7) The South Transept. The south transept was possibly added to the nave to serve as a chantry chapel. In the east wall is a blocked up, square-headed priest's doorway.The lintels inside and out are grave covers. A part of a walled up window is to be seen between the south wall of the nave and the west wall of the transept. In the east wall is a square cupboard or recess (aumbrey) to hold the sacred vessels. In there is a round headed piscina for washing the Communion vessels set close to where an altar must have stood when this was a chantry chapel.
(8) The Porch. The south doorway is Norman in style but has been reconstructed. The door is ancient, possibly 17th century.Within the porch, the seats are formed of old grave covers. Over the porch there is a sundial inscribed – 'Man fleeth as it were a shadow. 1803', a timely reminder that "man hath a short time to live".
(9) Outside the church. Leaving the porch and turning left, there is, beneath the west wall of the south transept, two monumental stones protruding; one is mutilated. It is an effigy of a lady (possibly a member of the Eure family) with her head on a cushion and her hands folded in prayer; the other stone has a floriated cross of beautiful design. The monuments, regarded as the most remarkable features of the Church, are possibly 13th or 14th century and are thought to have been inserted after the church was built, hereby fulfilling the wish of the founder of the chantry chapel that they should "lie within the wall'.
(10) Continuing eastwards, there is a panoramic view down the valley of the River Wear to Witton-le-Wear, Bishop Auckland and Westerton Hill.
(11) The north transept is lit by a window of fine workmanship, with hood mouldings outside, terminating in mask heads. The window is circa 1300, with three stepped and cusped lancets under one pointed arch. There is "a very pretty battlemented twin bellcott" of the 17th century at the western end of the church.
(12) Gravestones. The oldest surviving gravestones in the graveyard are southwest of the porch; four are older than AD1725. One is to Anthony Hogshon of High Wham, who died in 1716, and another is to Margaret Hodgshon, also of High Wham, who died in 1721.In the northeast corner of the churchyard rested the bodies of twenty-seven German POWs who died from influenza in 1918.Grave covers brought to light in 1883-4 were, at this time, placed in the walls, some of them ornamented to show the various occupations of the dead: swords, hammers, blacksmiths' tongs, coulter (?) and share of a plough, etc. Some grave covers are used to provide seats in the porch. The door, which is studded with iron, is very ancient. Of the two bells hanging in the church, one appears to have been stolen in the century, probably on account of the large amount of silver that is known was used in its casting. The bell was replaced. A silver chalice of ancient date has also disappeared.
The Church registers date from the 1580s. The first recorded priest was The Rev. Robert Melmorbie, since when there have been thirty curates and incumbents. ____________________________________________________________________________________________

utg 3-9x32 compact scope
Here are some cool products to choose from on utg 3-9x32 compact scope
Some more possable information on utg 3-9x32 compact scope from the the following,
You may be interested in the following video
There are quite a few reasons why you may wish to purchase a tripod spotting scope or a compact spotting scope. Bird watching, star gazing, hunting, and other pursuits can be improved through the use of a tripod spotting scope. It is critical to point out that you will certainly not be able to get the most out of your purchasing selection unless to look at the various important attributes which need to be considered prior to the actual purchase.
These considerations need to be properly and effectively examined for a very good reason. The acquisition of the right scope will further expand the potential that the scope delivers on what is expected.
The following is a look at the main criteria you need to examine before you purchase a tripod spotting scope.
The size of the scope is definitely something you need to look at closely. There is no right or wrong size but there is such a thing as an appropriate size. In particular, you will want a size that effectively helps the cause. In other words, you want the right scope for your situation. Would you want a scope that was too big to fit in your backpack when you go on a trek in the mountains? Would you want one that was far too small to fit on the rifle you have in mind for it? The truth here is you need the right size scope for what your intentions are.
A spotting scope is not uniform in terms of its body style. There are two main categories in which the body style will fall under which is straight or angled. Once again, one is not necessarily better than the other. Rather, one is more appropriate than the other based on your needs and intended use.
Angled ones are better suited for those using the scope while standing and also for those with quite a bit of experience. A straight body tripod spotting scope is better for those wishing to target an object with less work and it is a cheaper model that is easier to pack away.
It is certainly a positive attribute when the tripod or compact spotting scope also maintains an effective zoom. With the right optical zoom, you will discover that you can magnify any object relatively easily as long as the zoom is of decent quality construct. If you are purchasing a tripod spotting scope produced by a name brand manufacturer and/or one that has received solid reviews on credible consumer review websites or publications, you would likely be making a good purchasing decision.
The cost of the scope should also factor into your selection process. There is a huge range of prices for scopes and the quality may or may not be reflective of the price. Regardless, you will want to purchase the best compact spotting scope within your range of affordability.
Once you do acquire the right tripod spotting scope, you can feel confident that you have gained the best scope for your individual needs.
TopSpottingScopes.com offers high quality, affordable Tripod Spotting Scopes that are perfect for you, your friends, and loved ones.
