Horsepower expands to High Point
Katrina Breitenbach thought she'd never again be able to do the activities she loves.
She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and can hardly walk. But now she spends Wednesday afternoons on horseback.
"There are a lot of things that I used to do that I can't do anymore," said Breitenbach, 39. "I used to do ballroom dance — can't do that anymore. I used to do acting — can't do that anymore. It's nice to be able to do something I did before."
Breitenbach is a rider at Horsepower Therapeutic Learning Center in Colfax. The riding center has been around for 19 years helping children and adults with mental, physical and emotional disabilities feel confident and active again through horseback riding.
"It's amazing to watch the evolution of riders," said Jan Clifford, founder and executive director of Horsepower. "Nothing in the world is more exciting than for someone that's nonverbal to say their first word on a horse. That joy is just a fraction of what riders feel."
Horsepower is building a second location off of Clinard Farm Road in High Point that will help the center expand its offerings. Currently, Horsepower offers sensory walking, leadership and veteran programs.
"We've maxed out here," she said. "We have limited pastures, limited time, we're maxed out on the number of horses we have because we are sharing the facility with another entity (Piedmont Saddle Club). We've been very creative with what we have here."
Once Horsepower makes the move to its 48 acres in High Point, which Clifford said should happen in about six months, they will have larger pastures for more horses and the ability to offer more classes to more riders.
"We're doing more than our capacity here," Clifford said. "We have about 120 riders a week. We could see up to 300 people at our new facility."
The new facility will cost the nonprofit about $1.2 million and is divided into phases. Clifford said the center can start having programs at the new site after Phase II is complete, which includes clearing land, seeding and fencing pastures, setting up water and sewage, and putting up run-in sheds and an outdoor arena.
At the new facility, Horsepower also will partner with Phoenix Academy for its equestrian program. The academy will be tapping into three programs from Horsepower — Pony Up, leadership classes and therapeutic classes. Pony Up is a program that teaches students how to focus and how to read using miniature donkeys. Students design and write their own stories.
Clifford said the leadership program is for children with great potential.
"Sometimes, you get children that aren't being challenged enough, and we are taking them and teaching them leadership skills," Clifford said. "What better way to learn to lead than on a horse?"
The charter school also will use Horsepower's therapeutic classes.
Horsepower is a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship-certified premiere center which means it is the safest center with the most-educated staff and volunteers. Clifford said the center is always looking for people to volunteer with the center in any capacity.

A Brief History of False Flag Terror
by James Corbett
In naval warfare, a "false flag" refers to an attack where a vessel flies a flag other than their true battle flag before engaging their enemy. It is a trick, designed to deceive the enemy about the true nature and origin of an attack.
In the democratic era, where governments require at least a plausible pretext before sending their nation to war, it has been adapted as a psychological warfare tactic to deceive a government's own population into believing that an enemy nation has attacked them.
In the 1780s, Swedish King Gustav III was looking for a way to unite an increasingly divided nation and raise his own falling political fortunes. Deciding that a war with Russia would be a sufficient distraction but lacking the political authority to send the nation to war unilaterally, he arranged for the head tailor of the Swedish Opera House to sew some Russian military uniforms. Swedish troops were then dressed in the uniforms and sent to attack Sweden's own Finnish border post along the Russian border. The citizens in Stockholm, believing it to be a genuine Russian attack, were suitably outraged, and the
Swedish-Russian War of 1788-1790 began
In 1931 the Japan was looking for a pretext to invade Manchuria. On September 18th of that year, a Lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army detonated a small amount of TNT along a Japanese-owned railway in the Manchurian city of Mukden. The act was blamed on Chinese dissidents and used to
justify the occupation of Manchuria
just six months later. When the deception was later exposed, Japan was diplomatically shunned and forced to withdraw from the League of Nations.
In 1939 Heinrich Himmler masterminded
a plan
to convince the public that Germany was the victim of Polish aggression in order to justify the invasion of Poland. It culminated in an attack on Sender Gleiwitz, a German radio station near the Polish border, by Polish prisoners who were dressed up in Polish military uniforms, shot dead, and left at the station. The Germans then broadcast an anti-German message in Polish from the station, pretended that it had come from a Polish military unit that had attacked Sender Gleiwitz, and presented the dead bodies as evidence of the attack. Hitler invaded Poland immediately thereafter, starting World War II.
In 1954 the Israelis hired a number of Egyptian Jews to plant bombs in American and British cinemas, libraries, and other civilian targets to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood or other malcontents. The plan, known as the
Lavon Affair
, was part of an effort to convince the British to retain their military presence in the occupied Suez Canal zone. Several bombings took place, but the British were ultimately forced out after Nasser nationalized the canal in 1956.
In 1962 the US Joint Chiefs of Staff authored a document called
Operation Northwoods
calling for the US government to stage a series of fake attacks, including the shooting down of military or civilian US aircraft, the destruction of a US ship, sniper attacks in Washington, and other atrocities, to blame on the Cubans as an excuse for launching an invasion. President Kennedy refused to sign off on the plan and was killed in Dallas the next year.
In August 1964 the USS Maddox, a US destroyer on patrol in the Gulf of Tonkin, believed it had come under attack from North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats, engaging in evasive action and returning fire. The incident led to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution authorizing President Johnson to begin open warfare in Vietnam. It was later admitted that no attack had occurred, and in 2005 it was revealed that the NSA had
manipulated their information
to make it look like an attack had taken place.
In June 1967 the Israelis attacked the
USS Liberty
, a US Navy technical research ship, off the coast of Egypt. The ship was strafed relentlessly for hours in an apparent attempt to blame the attack on Egypt and draw the Americans into the Six Day War, but amazingly the crew managed to keep it afloat. In 2007 newly released NSA intercepts
that the Israelis knew they were attacking an American ship, not an Egyptian ship as their cover story has maintained.
In the fall of 1999, a wave of
bloody apartment bombings
swept through Russian cities, killing 293 people and causing widespread panic. Although blamed on the Chechen terrorists that the Russians were fighting in the Second Chechen War, FSB agents
were caught
planting the exact same type of bombs as in the other blasts later that month. The government claimed that the bomb was part of a security exercise and Vladimir Putin came to power as the next Russian President on the back of the terror wave later that year.
In 2001, attacks in New York and Washington are blamed on Al Qaeda as a pretext for invading Afghanistan. In the months leading up to the event, American negotiators had warned Afghanistan's Taliban that they were interested in securing right of way for proposed pipeline projects, and the US would achieve this with either a
carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs
. The Bush administration's first major national security directive,
, a full-scale battle plan for the invasion of Afghanistan, including command and control, air and ground forces, and logistics, was drafted and sitting on the President's desk to be signed off on September 4, 2001, seven days before the 9/11 attacks. The invasion proceeded as planned in October.
These are but a few of the hundreds of such incidents that have been staged over the centuries to blame political enemies for attacks that they did not commit. The tactic
remains in common use today
, and will continue to be employed as long as populations still blindly believe whatever their governments tell them about the origins of spectacular terror incidents.

Addis Ababa, 3 June 2014 (WIC) -The Addis Ababa University (AAU) said it is striving to correct the wrong attitudes some Egyptian and Sudanese scholars have toward the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
AAU President, Dr. Admassu Tsegaye, said that the University is undertaking wide-ranging activities which create the realization that the dam is beneficial to all downstream countries.
The University, in a discussion it recently held in Khartoum with diplomatic corps, presented research findings which showed that the GERD would cause no significant harm on the downstream countries, he said.
The president said AAU is organizing various consultative forums in collaboration with higher learning institutions in the downstream countries.
He added that the researches and diplomatic initiatives carried out by the University have won positive response from scholars and politicians of the downstream countries.
On the other hand, scholars of the university have been reacting with research-based responses to the negative messages disseminated by some Egyptian and Sudanese scholars, the president stated.
Dr. Admassu added that to further strengthen the existing ties between the Addis Ababa and Khartoum universities exchange of post-graduate students and academic staff has been underway between the two universities.
Consolidated relationship of the universities would help ensure sustainable peace and development in the region, he noted.
The president, who recalled the signing of a cooperation framework agreement with Khartoum University which enables to work together on Nile basin, added that AAU has intensified its activities to further work around cross-border rivers in collaboration with universities in Somalia, Djibouti and South Sudan.
The university has been giving free scholarships to post-graduate students from Djibouti and South Sudan on peace and security fields of study, it was indicated.
AAU also signed memorandum of understanding with the University of Alexandria to work on various health matters. Besides, it has recently begun discussions on ways of cooperating with Cairo and Mansoura universities, according to the president. (ENA)

Werd beaten narrowly in the Flower
Mon, 27 February, 2012
"A fighting third"Werd has fought it out strongly first up in the Cyril Flower Stakes over 1200m at Ascot on Saturday.
He was always going to be vulnerable first up at the 1200m. Campbell McCallum jumped him well, as per usual and then had the rare opportunity of trailing the speed behind Highly Toxic. Werd pulled off heels at the top of the straight and with 50m to go was still in front, but his condition just gave in, finishing third just a half length behind the winner, Westriver Kevydon.
Werd had a three week spell after his fighting second in the Summer Scorcher and had only been back in work for four weeks prior to Saturday's run.
It was a run that will put him in good stead for his next assignment, the Listed WATC Stakes in three weeks over 1100m.

French train riders get USB drives as tickets, won't ever have to swipe a card
French public transportation company SNCF is getting 1,000 customers to help it test an RFID-enabled smart card that's also a USB drive, known as the Weneo ID Smart. It's a push by SNCF to expand its contactless payment system, and would allow customers to plug their train passes into a PC at home. There they could add money to their account, avoiding the rush at the station to dump money onto a card as the train is pulling away (something we're very familiar with here in New York City). On the train, the fare would be deducted from the card either by an RFID reader or by an attendant with a handheld tool.
Depending on the program's success, SNCF may try to have all their customers using the system by 2010. The closest thing we have to it here in the States are bank promotions that allow you to marry your metro card with your bank account. Then again, Europe isn't as train-retarded as the US, where cross-country trains are barely used, save for some commercial interests.

FTP Server Settings...
I'm trying to get a feel for the code layout here... just starting, so haven't fegureed out much at all. I'm attempting to make changes to the FTP Server settings. For my config, I require the line "PassivePorts XXXXX YYYYY" in proftp to work with my firewalling. However, I can not manually add this line, as it is always over written when changes are made to accounts.
Anyone able to steer me in the direction to where I may find the code to play around with this?
The templates for all configuration files are in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf. You must make your changes there.
wow... this changes everything! ;)
Thank you.

Let's Stop Blaming America
June 2, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Dr. Khalid Al Nowaiser
We are still the prisoners of a culture of conspiracy and inferiority
I am a proud and loyal Saudi citizen, but I am tired of hearing constant criticism from most Arabs of everything the United States does in its relations with other countries and how it responds to global crises. No nation is perfect, and certainly America has made its share of mistakes such as Vietnam, Cuba and Iraq. I am fully aware of what happened when the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the unprecedented abuses at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. However, what would we do if America simply disappeared from the face of the earth such as what happened to the Soviet Union and ancient superpowers like the Roman and Greek empires? These concerns keep me up day and night. It's frustrating to hear this constant drumbeat of blame directed toward the United States for everything that is going wrong in the world. Who else do we think of to blame for our problems and failures? Do we take personal responsibility for the great issues that affect the security and prosperity of Arab countries? No, we look to America for leadership and then sit back and blame it when we don't approve of the actions and solutions it proposes or takes.
For instance, if a dictator seizes and holds power such as Egypt's Mubarak and Libya's Qaddafi, fingers are pointed only at America for supporting these repressive leaders. If the people overthrow a dictator, fingers are pointed at America for not having done enough to support the protestors. If a nation fails to provide its people with minimum living standards, fingers are pointed at America. If a child dies in an African jungle, America is criticized for not providing necessary aid. If someone somewhere sneezes, fingers are pointed at America. Many other examples exist, too numerous to mention.
I am not pro-American nor am I anti-Arab, but I am worried that unless we wake up, the Arab world will never break out of this vicious and unproductive cycle of blaming America. We must face the truth: Sadly, we are still the prisoners of a culture of conspiracy and cultural inferiority. We have laid the blame on America for all our mistakes, for every failure, for every harm or damage we cause to ourselves. The US has become our scapegoat upon whom our aggression and failures can be placed. We accuse America of interfering in all our affairs and deciding our fate, although we know very well that this is not the case as no superpower can impose its will upon us and control every aspect of our lives. We must acknowledge that every nation, no matter how powerful, has its limitations.
Moreover, we conveniently forget that America's role is one of national self-interest, not to act as a Mother Teresa. Every great nation throughout history has used its power and gained ascendancy in order to serve its own strategic interests. America is not just its foreign policy. We must not forget who promoted education and respected learning, who took on research as a way to discovery, who made the airplane that carries us to our destination and the luxurious car we want to own, who created the Internet and developed social media that has transformed the way we do business and interact with one another, who conducted the scientific research that has saved lives and treated cancer, renal failure, AIDS, malaria, poliomyelitis, and who discovered genetic engineering. When man walked on the Moon, it was an American. Who did Japan turn to for help after the devastating earthquake and tsunami? America that led and organized the international relief effort of the Red Cross. Who do people turn to for support when their leaders seek to brutalize them? Who organized NATO air cover and saved the Libyan city of Benghazi from certain destruction by Qaddafi's brutal armed forces?
Anyone who is a student of history knows that America is simply doing what all other civilizations before it have done for thousands of years, which is to protect and further its own self-interest. The Greek civilization could not have lasted had it not served its own interests, and the same applies to the Persian, Roman, and Chinese civilizations. All of these civilizations put their own welfare before all others, and by doing so, they strived to achieve great things. The truth is that no nation can ever become great without understanding this reality. Indeed, the Islamic civilization has been through horrible and cruel phases. Hideous events that send goose bumps up one's spine can be extracted from Islamic history, such as that of As-Saffah (The Shedder of Blood), founder of the Abbasid Caliphate, who took out the remains of the caliphs of Bani Umayyah, one after the other, but found nothing but the tip of a nose from the remains of Hisham Bin Abdul Malak. He took him out and whipped him. He then crucified and burned him and sprinkled his ashes in the wind, without mercy, oblivious to any religious or moral restraints.
There are many other similar examples. But does this mean that Islam is unholy? Of course not. Does this imply that Islamic civilization only had Saffahs? Absolutely not. Islamic civilization has given the world brilliant examples in the areas of art and education and promoted a culture of forgiveness, peace and love. However, today, we as people, not Islam, are in desperate need of an intellectual earthquake, a cultural tsunami to get us back on track, to revive Islam's cultural intellect and combat our undeniable inferiority complex.
The Holy Qur'an states Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. He has the power to change them, but He prefers that they change with their own will power which He respects.
What we are seeing now in the Arab streets is a new hope and a step forward to change what is in ourselves. I remain very optimistic because we have now begun to realize that simply blaming the United States for our problems will not help us progress toward great personal freedoms. Our enemy is not America but an inferiority complex from which I am sure the Arab world with its rich culture and history will eventually recover.

A Good Reward For Those Who Do Good
April 22, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Imam Abdullah El-Amin, MMNS
There is something we Muslims have that no other people on the face of the earth have. We have the comfortable feeling that we posses the last and most perfect scripture from ALLAH and it is 100% TRUE. Therefore we don't have to guess or wonder about which direction to take or which decisions to make.
This is an example of what living the positive life through positive thinking means.
"Say: "O ye My servants who believe! Fear your Lord. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is ALLAH's earth. Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure."
As the above directive points out, if you want good to come to you, you only need to do good yourself. And, of course, the more good you do, the more good you can expect in your life. It is written, "The more you give of what you get – the more you get of what you give." This includes money (material, giving zakat), happy existence, good wishes from everybody, and anything else you can think of.
What enables you to think positively about life is to be a devout believer in the Word of ALLAH. When you believe and act on what ALLAH tells you to do, you are guaranteed success. But you must believe this for it to work.
If you don't believe it, you will eventually deny it and slide backwards. It is similar to a person trying to quit smoking cigarettes. There is a big difference between "quitting" and "stopping."
If you just "stop", eventually you will slip and smoke again – and you will want it until you get that puff. But when you quit, you are not tortured because you know you are never going to smoke again.
It is the same with belief and disbelief in ALLAH. In order to not backslide you must believe that what you read and feel is True.
If we take a look at the world today, we see many people, Muslims included, influenced by the ravages of Satan. We see families breaking up. We see children going astray influenced by the negative images they see on TV and in the movies, and the music they listen to. With so many negatives, positive thinking may seem like it is fighting a losing battle.
But, once again, that is where belief and faith come in. ALLAH has revealed a remedy for every assault Satan places on the human being. ALL you have to do is THINK positively about the revelation of ALLAH and the healing begins. ALLAH is real and His solutions are real.
If you believe ALLAH will do great things for you, it will happen. Your whole life and everything connected to it will begin to change. To make this change, you must first fill your mind with the powerful words of spirituality of the Holy Qur'an. Focus your actions to be like the actions of Prophet Muhammad.
This will change your thoughts from negative to positive. Then give thanks to ALLAH for what He has given you. And you know, it is a curious thing – the more you thank ALLAH, the more He gives you. This is because He knows you are appreciative. If you never thank Him, He knows you are not appreciative, and responds with less help.
So let us think positively about everything. Believe and have faith in ALLAH… and expect a miracle.
As Salaam alaikum
Al Hajj Imam Abdullah El-Amin

After bringing her audience up to speed with the developing details of Honey Nut Cheerio Gate, Wendy Williams offered La La Anthony some unsolicited advice regarding her rumored rocky relationship with husband Carmelo Anthony.
"La La, I will share this with you, and take this in the best way . . . If you get divorced, know this, you've still got more than most. You used to be a VJ, now you're First Lady of the Knicks," said Wendy. "When you get divorced, you've got half of his money, you're still young enough to start a whole 'nother family and your son is gorgeous."
She added, "I beg of you to stop doing reality tv. By the way, your show is corny, too . . . I'm not a fan of La La's reality show because I always feel like she's trying to keep up with Kim Kardashian. And take this the best way because I am just going to say this straight, you won over Kim. You got the man, you got the money, you got the baby, you're a natural beauty — as best I can tell — and you don't have to do contrived stories to be on reality tv."
Do you second Wendy's opinion? Watch the full clip below!

Hatred is thy name,
within the hearts burning wildly
sans the sense of humanity
igniting odium, stirring communalism…
Who else shall face this wrath?
innocent people become victims
for once shall never the mind think,
while running directionless in name of fanaticism…
Bloodshed ,gore speak as mutes
screams the shriek of human soul
flood of sinfulness overpowers
the aftermath on mankind for years.
Religion, thy name you gave
for the reason of the conflict
forget thou amidst the chaos
you are a human being first
then are of some caste and creed…
then why the bloodshed ,
why the poisonous sting,
whilst you face the same God,
whose child you have killed.
Where will this abhorrence lead to,
on the doors of hell on earth,
will thy be ever, able to face
again thyself in the mirror!
Commanding Poem...
...And, dear Soumya, splendid is your poem -- the timeless word "Hatred" has reigned our universe in all features of life. Where love and unity should command us, hate and nefariousness govern our senses and sensitivities - trickling out in all directions - human-value smeared to ashes. I wonder are we allowed to groan while we suffocate? In the name of any Holy Book an innocent civilian is butchered by the hands of the demi-gods - while they/we crawl like resurrected corpses from one colossal grave to another.
Your poem is a catalyst - a commanding catalyst, I dare say ! It echoes (to me) a dire need to emancipate ourselves from loathe-some mind-sets that have bound up in our own skins, plead for revolution or love, sudden cracks of deliverance - swift as thunder, a bolt to slay hate. After all, love is revolutionary, hate always reactionary.
Wasn't this the reason why we penned our anthology, 'Suroor of the Soul'? We shall continue our efforts.
Loved the poem much !

Six Traits of High Performing Achievers
Here's the cool thing about this piece we read on LinkedIn by Lou Adler, author of Hire With Your Head.
While it outlines several traits to spot in high achievers, its purpose is twofold. Managers can easily spot these traits to identify a high performer and if you're an employee on the team, you can connect the dots and pursue the ideas below to become that go-to guy or gal.
1. You've been assigned difficult challenges ahead of your peers. In the piece Adler points out the best people on a team are assigned tasks that are typically given to the higher ups. If this happens frequently and during the first year of your employment, you get a gold star! This is certainly evidence of a high achiever and something to highlight on a job interview. Read more

Rackspace Drops on Profit Miss
SAN ANTONIO ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Rackspace Hosting (RAX) fell in late trades after the cloud specialist came up short on its bottom line in its latest quarterly results.
The AT&T (T) and Savvis rival brought in sales of $301 million, an increase of 31% on the same period last year, and just above Wall Street's estimate of $300.53 million. Rackspace, however, said that currency exchange rates negatively impacted first-quarter revenue by $2 million compared to year-ago period.
However, Rackspace, which does not break out non-GAAP EPS, said it earned 17 cents a share on net income of $23.2 million, up from 11 cents a share and $13.8 million in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 18 cents a share.
The company's adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margin fell on a sequential basis to 33.4% in the latest quarter from 36.1% in the December-ended period.The stock was last quoted at $50.25, down more than 13%, on volume of nearly 550,000, according to Nasdaq.com. The managed hosting company's cash flow from operations was $70 million. Capital expenditures were $82 million, including $53 million spent on customer gear and $9 million for data center build outs. "While we've made a lot of progress so far in 2012, we have much more to do," explained Lanham Napier, the Rackspace CEO, in a statement released after market close. "We are executing through a very important platform shift to our next generation cloud, and we need to make this experience incredible for our customers." Rackspace's total server count increased to 82,438, up from 79,805 in the prior quarter. Total customers climbed to 180,866, up from 172,510 at the end of the fourth quarter. -- Written by James Rogers in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/jamesjrogers. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Playing this is playing homage to your tyipcal JRPG genra. A difference is the characters are animated a bit so you can see them do things like wink and breathe, and so forth. Gameplay wise is limit dungeon structure of running around random dungeons searching for treasure. Game balance is you'...more

Definitions for togtɒg
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word tog
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
togtɒg(n.; v.)togged, tog•ging.
(n.)a coat.
Usu., togs. clothes.
(v.t.)to dress (often fol. by out or up).
Origin of tog:
1775–85; appar. short for earlier argot togeman(s), togman cloak, coat =toge (late ME < L togatoga ) +-man(s) formative in argot words
Princeton's WordNet
dress, clothe, enclothe, garb, raiment, tog, garment, habilitate, fit out, apparel(verb)
provide with clothes or put clothes on
"Parents must feed and dress their child"
A cloak.
1837-39, Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist,
A unit of thermal resistance, being ten times the temperature difference (in u00B0C) between the two surfaces of a material when the flow of heat is equal to one watt per square metre
To dress.
Origin: From toga, "cloack" or "mantle". It started being used by thieves and vagabonds with the noun togman, which was an old slang word for "cloack". By the 1700s the noun "tog" was used as a short form for "togman", and it was being used for "coat", and before 1800 the word started to mean "clothing". The verb "tog" came out after a short period of time and became a popular word which meant to dress up.
The tog is a measure of thermal resistance of a unit area, also known as thermal insulance, commonly used in the textile industry, and often seen quoted on, for example, duvets and carpet underlay. The Shirley Institute in Manchester, England developed the tog as an easy-to-follow alternative to the SI unit of m²K/W. The name comes from the informal word "togs" for clothing which itself was probably derived from the word toga, a Roman garment. The basic unit of insulation coefficient is the RSI,. 1 tog = 0.1 RSI. There is also a clo clothing unit equivalent to 0.155 RSI or 1.55 tog. A tog is 0.1 m²K/W. In other words, the thermal resistance in togs is equal to ten times the temperature difference between the two surfaces of a material, when the flow of heat is equal to one watt per square metre. British duvets are sold in steps of 1.5 tog from 4.5 tog to 15 tog. The stated values are minimal, actual values may be up to 3 tog higher. A few manufacturers have marketed combined duvet sets consisting of two duvets; one of approximately 4.5 tog and one of approximately 9.0 tog. These can be used individually as summer and spring/autumn. When joined together using press studs around the edges, or Velcro strips across each of the corners, they become a 13.5 tog winter duvet and as such can be made to suit all seasons.

Birth Control and Nursing
I have a five-month-old son who is being fed breastmilk that I have been pumping since he was born. I was on Loestrin but stopped taking it due to extreme hair loss. Do I even need to worry about birth control? I have a tiny bit of spotting on the day I would usually have my period -- dark brown, dried blood. What do you think?
While nursing does confer some protection against pregnancy, you cannot measure that protection or know when you have lost it. Therefore, I absolutely think that you need to consider birth control.
I would like to suggest that the birth control pill was not the cause of your hair loss. During pregnancy, many of the hair follicles synchronize in the growth cycle and therefore enter the telogen (hair loss) phase at the same time. As more and more time passes, the hairs will unsynchronize and the hair loss will reverse. This whole process is extremely common in the first few months after delivery and usually resolves itself if you can wait long enough. Otherwise you can consider any of the barrier methods of birth control or an intrauterine device.

how to use it. i install pesedit patch 3.3. Then what??please help..VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
It will conflict will league names etc, I suspect, because of the addition of the copa whatever in 1.06 pes.exe . Need a new copy of your "big patch" that is updated for this updated exe. I need a new copy of PSD patch or qpatch I think its called now.
And the addons didn't work with 1.03 or 1.06, the new addons for soundbooster and replays. It even says in the instructions "open replay.txt" but it doesnt provide one, and says change [reply] to xxx, but since the dll is replaydisable.dll it would not even make it work. Bored. But THANKS FOR KITSERVER, IT ROCKS!!! Just dont like confusing addons that dont work.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Oops, the addons work. And the replay disable addon just needs a new txt doc, saved as replay.txt
Follow the other instructions, but make sure they are in this order (or it crashes):
replay_goal = 0
replay_shot = 0
replay_foul = 0
replay_offside = 0
—– set 0 means no replay, set 1 means replay enabled.
Sorry for doubting Jenkey!!!VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Its easy.
Get the kitserver that matches you pes2012.exe (if its pes2012.exe version 1.06, then use PES 2012 Kitserver 12.2.3).
Put the kitserver folder into the same folder as your PES 2012.exe.
Then open kitserver folder, double-click "manager" (or manager.exe), click "attach", and its done.
You may need to edit the config.txt so that it searches for the files in the right place, for example, mine is:
img.dir = "GDB"
dll = afsio
dll = fserv
dll = kserv
dll = afs2fs
dll = speeder
dll = lodmixer
dll = sides
aspect-ratio.correction.enabled = 0
picture.quality = 2
free.select = 1
img.dir ="the path to your img folder"
NOT including the img folder:
D:\Konami\PES 2012\PESserver\GDB\img <-that is wrong
D:\Konami\PES 2012\PESserver\GDB <-this is right
Find some files you want to use, that match the kitserver build, and put them in the kitverver img folder.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Oops ^^^ above should be:
just "GDB"
Not "D:\Konami\PES 2012\PESserver\GDB"
If you have kitserver 12.2.3:
copy the contents of "example-root", then paste it into "GDB" folder.
edit config.txt, in the "kitserver" folder, changde "img.dir="example-root" to
and it should all be added to the game when you start PES2012.exe
Dont forget to "attach" using manager.exeVA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

First-fruits (Greek, ἀπαρχὴ, aparche) were the first portions of produce, animals, and/or family that were given to the Lord. The firstborn child:
Numbers 18:14-17, "Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours. 5 "Every first issue of the womb of all flesh, whether man or animal, which they offer to the Lord, shall be yours; nevertheless the firstborn of man you shall surely redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem. 16 "As to their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem them, by your valuation, five shekels in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. 17 "But the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a soothing aroma to the Lord."
Jesus is said to be the first-fruits of the resurrection:
"Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep, for since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, . . . " " (1 Cor. 15:20-23).
The first believers in an area are also said to be first-fruits:
- Romans 16:5, "Also, greet for me the church that meets at their house. Greetings to my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first (aparche) person in Asia to follow Christ."
- 1 Cor. 16:15, "You know that the family of Stephanas were the first believers in Southern Greece and that they have given themselves to the service of God's people. I ask you, brothers and sisters, . . . "

1. Henri Delassus, L'esprit familial dans la maison, dans la citķ et dans lÆEtat (Lille: Sociķtķ Saint Augustin, Desclķe de Brouwer, 1910, apud Josķ Narciso Pinto Soares, EspĒrito de famĒlia, Collection Talent de Bien Faire, Barcelos: Companhia Editora do Minho, n.d.). Msgr. Delassus was a relentless polemecist and defender of the Church against the advance of Modernism during the pontificates of Pius IX, Leo XIII, St. Pius X and Benedict XV. One of his better known works is La conjuration anti-chrķtienne.
2. The author is referring here to legislation that robbed the family of its independence by replacing the authority of the father with that of the State. For example, Delassus laments the parentÆs loss to educate his children: ōToday the family depends so much on the State that the father does not even have the liberty to educate his children as his conscience and the traditions of his family indicate to him. The State has taken them from him, with the legally proclaimed objective of transforming these children into men without God, and consequently, men without moralsö (Ibid., chap. 7).
3. Msgr. Delassus was writing these words at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, it can be affirmed without hesitation that a generalized breakdown in the authority of parents is experienced by all classes, not only in France, but in all the countries of Western Civilization, including the United States. Charles de Ribbe, La sociķtķ provenńale Ó la fin du Moyen Age (Paris, 1897).

Women's Health
As soon as Lois Ross brought her newborn son, Jason, home from the hospital, she knew there was something not quite right with him. From the time he was just a few days old, Jason didn't interact with the world around him the same way his older brother did. As Jason grew, so did Lois's concern for her son's mental and emotional health, and when Jason turned 2 she demanded his pediatrician evaluate him. The outcome was the first of many misdiagnoses her son would receive over the next 17 years - a list that came to include ADHD, OCD, Tourette Syndrome, speech delay, and even schizophrenia.
Knowing that her son did not fit into any of these categories, Lois continued to search for an answer to her son's symptoms, the most debilitating of which, his complete lack of social skills, had become a daily source of emotional pain. Without the help of the internet, she scoured the library, made countless phone calls, and reached out to anyone she thought could help. "I was told by the owner of a nursery, 'If you do not fight for your children, no one else will,'" Lois recalls. "As a parent, you are the key ingredient."
Finally, in 1998, when he was 19 years old, Jason was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a pervasive developmental disorder on the Autism spectrum that affects senses, motor skills, social skills, and language. It was the first time Lois had heard of the disorder, but she knew that it fit her son perfectly.
The now 30-year-old Jason and his family, residents of New City in Rockland County, NY, are participants in a new PBS documentary called "This Emotional Life," due to air in January 2010. The documentary will explore "our ongoing and never-ending pursuit of happiness," says the show's host Daniel Gilbert, Harvard professor of psychology and author of Stumbling on Happiness. "Happiness is the thing that all human beings are looking for," Gilbert says. "Each decision we make in our lives is based on what will make us happier." The problem, Gilbert says, is that we have no "road map" to happiness, and most people are, for some reason, poor predictors of what will make them happy.
"It's a topic so intuitive, yet so elusive," says A. Kathryn Power, M.Ed., director of the Center for Mental Health Services at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. "No one ever gave us a class or taught us how to talk about our emotions, but we need to get America to the level where we can do that." These are conversations we have not been having, Power says, and a lack of dialogue leads to a lack of awareness, which in turn leads to a lack of action. Therefore the purpose of the documentary, she says, is to open up the discussion about emotional health and the pursuit of happiness in our society.
The three-part documentary will focus on three basic ideas: first, that you can't be happy alone; second, that you can't be happy all the time; and third, that you can be happier than you are.
All three parts delve into the most current scientific research on happiness and incorporate the thoughts and experiences of celebrities like Katie Couric, Richard Gere, and Chevy Chase, as well as the compelling stories of ordinary people, like the Ross family.
The first pillar of the documentary, that you can't be happy alone, hits home with Jason Ross. "As scientists now know," Gilbert says, "social relationships, more than any other factor, are the key to human happiness." Due to his condition, Jason is unable to read emotions in others, and has had to struggle throughout his life to recognize the social cues that most of us know inherently, and take for granted. During his childhood, Lois worked with Jason constantly, enrolling him in playgroups and school organizations and role playing with him to teach him basic social interactions. Still, it was nearly impossible for Jason to establish any friendships - outside of his family - for most of his life.
Weaving together science and human experience, the series takes an in-depth look at how Jason and others - some of whom are struggling with depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and other afflictions - have pursued a productive life, and happiness, despite the obstacles they've encountered along the way. In the end, they each serve as a testament to the documentary's third pillar, that you can be happier than you are.
"Finding a consensual definition of happiness is not easy, but people can tell you how happy they are, whatever that means to them," Gilbert says. "We all use the word happiness, but people define it within themselves."
"This Emotional Life" will air as a three-part series on PBS Jan. 4-6, 2010, at 9pm. Visit the show's Web site, www.pbs.org/thisemotionallife, for more information along with blogs, discussions, and insight from the experts.

'Nowhere Boy' Critic Reviews
MovieWeb: 3 reviews
Rotten Tomatoes: 141 reviews
Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)84The power of Nowhere Boy is that, as directed by Sam Taylor-Wood, it captures how John Lennon's deeply sordid family life toyed with his soul by not letting him know who he was.
Manohla Dargis New York Times (Top Critic)60It's a pleasant-enough creation story to revisit, one weighted down by melodrama and lifted up by some rocking tunes.
Peter Bradshaw Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)60A handsome film made with real flair.Full Review » 5 years ago
Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)88Director Sam Taylor-Wood weaves this tale with elegance, spot-on costumes and production design, and finely tuned casting.
Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)50The movie succumbs to maudlin sentiment and melodrama that Lennon himself might have dismissed with one of his signature cutting remarks.
Ty Burr Boston Globe (Top Critic)63As sympathetic and well-turned as it is, Nowhere Boy only gives us more mythology.
Eric Hynes Village Voice (Top Critic)Taylor-Woods debut feature is a rote coming-of-age tableau that churns through stations of anger, inspiration, reconciliation, McCartney, and Harrison.
Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal (Top Critic)The creative process is almost audible in a silent moment when John turns an adoring gaze on the curvaceous body of his first guitar.
Chris Vognar Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)90It relishes its myth-making enterprise without getting too cute about it.
Anthony Lane New Yorker (Top Critic)Taylor-Wood has specialized in video installations and off-kilter portraits, and it was tempting to hope that her take on Lennon would unsettle and provoke. Instead, she stays resolutely on-kilter, as if awed into numbness by her subject.
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)88We reflect that even if all you need is love, that isn't always all you get.
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader (Top Critic)The events chronicled are all longstanding Beatles legends, though director Sam Taylor-Wood manages to stage even the most portentous moments without making you feel a celestial choir is in order.
Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)75Taylor-Wood captures the sounds and textures of Liverpool and Blackpool, where a new beat is playing in the cafes and clubs.
Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)75Taylor-Wood stresses the universals rather than the specifics of John's youth. So don't go expecting a Fab Four origin story. The word Beatles is never uttered. But do go.
Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)38A Great Man biography gone comically wrong.
Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)67More love triangle than musical, the effective and often sweet Nowhere Boy offers a sense of the time and tension that produced John Lennon.
Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic (Top Critic)90Although he doesn't look much like Lennon, Johnson captures that essence perfectly; the future icon is here a confused, hurt boy.
Leslie Felperin Variety (Top Critic)Full Review » 3 years ago
Kyle Smith New York Post (Top Critic)88Nowhere Boy gets John's teen years in Liverpool exactly right, and first-time director Sam Taylor-Wood has made an excellent choice in casting Aaron Johnson.
Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)75If you've seen read or seen the Beatles history in literature or film, you'll adore Nowhere Boy for filling in more blank spaces about the early life that formed one of the seminal figures in rock history.
Stephen Cole Globe and Mail (Top Critic)75This portrait of a Beatle as a young man also gives filmmaker Sam Taylor-Wood, working on a thoughtful script by Matt Greenhalgh, creative room to manoeuvre, introducing us to John just as he and rock 'n' roll discover one another.
Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com (Top Critic)Rather than a rock 'n' roll biopic, this is a classic British family melodrama, anchored by one of the subtlest, richest roles in Kristin Scott Thomas' impressive career.Full Review » 5 years ago
Dana Stevens Slate (Top Critic)The story of Lennon's early years is dramatic and painful enough to survive an imperfect retelling, even if you're already familiar with the stations of the cross.
Richard Corliss TIME Magazine (Top Critic)The reason to see Nowhere Boy is the charismatic Johnson, who effortlessly nails Lennon's strut, anger and sensitivity. Anybody seeing the movie could surely spot a star in the making.
Peter Travers Rolling Stone (Top Critic)75Nowhere Boy is smart enough not to spell it all out. You can hear it in Lennon's music, which plays in your head as the movie works its subtle magic.

ISLANDS 2nd RAID ~
OPERATION ANKLET - 26/27th DEC 1941
Operation Anklet, the second Lofoten Islands
raid, was a diversion in support of a larger action at Vaagso further south on
the Norwegian coast. There was no opposition to the landing, but a near miss
from a German bomber convinced the planners that in future operations of this
kind, air cover would be provided as a matter of routine.
The Lofoten Islands lie off the Norwegian coast about 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle. In appearance and
size they resemble the Outer Hebrides off the north west coast of Scotland. They were selected by Combined Operations HQ as a relative safe
diversionary target to coincide with the main Vaagso raid
some 300 miles south. [Photos

Capt OB 'Mickey' Rooney's family; 1) Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands, 2) En route
to Norway.]
Plans & Preparation
Since the first Lofoten Raid in March 1941 the German forces in Norway had been strengthened including air cover (as Churchill had expected).
Feints and major raids were now a legitimate tactic to divert attention, confuse the enemy and to promote the idea in the collective mind of the
German High Command that Norway was a serious option for the launch of an invasion of mainland Europe from the UK.
[Photos; 3) Cruiser Arethusa on escort duty to Norway, 4) Sorvagen Landed on
300 men from No 12 Commando and a number from the Royal Norwegian Army under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel S.S. Harrison landed at 06.00
hours on Boxing Day. The planners had timed the raid in the expectation that the German garrison would be caught off guard. This was especially
likely after the Christmas festivities of the day before. [Photos; 5) Vorge Fjord, 6) Surveying
craft sent from admiralty to pick up captured documents.]
The landings were unopposed as the men, wearing white hooded overalls, entered two harbours on the westerly island of Moskenesoy. The towns
of Reine and Moskenes were soon occupied and a small number of German prisoners and quislings were taken including those manning the wireless
station at Glaapen. A large supply of French chocolates and cigarettes was found and distributed to grateful locals. However there was concern
about reprisals and many locals wanted the British forces to stay.
Admiral Hamilton on his Cruiser HMS Arethusa, with 8 destroyers in support,
was tempted to consider a prolonged stay. There was after all no sunrise in these latitudes between the 10th December to 3rd January so the risk
of attack from the air was much reduced. However a bomb dropped by a German seaplane on the 27th fell close to the cruiser so Harrison decided to
withdraw having completed the mission successfully.
Two radio transmitters were demolished, several small German boats captured and a
few Germans and Quislings taken prisoner - and there was disruption of sea communications in the area.
The raid had served its purpose and all men and equipment returned safely. However, this was the last time such a raid was undertaken without
air support. The nature of this form of warfare was changing as both sides assimilated past experiences into future planning.
Summary of Action
Allied Forces: Sea - HMS Arethusa & 8 Destroyers. Land
- 300 men from No 12 Commando.
Axis Forces: Land - Local German Garrison.
Outcome (Positive): A unopposed diversionary raid. Two radio transmitters demolished. Capture of
several small German boats, Germans and Quislings.
Outcome (Negative): None.

My father, Sub Lt (Sp) TBC Miller RNVR (photo
opposite), took part in Operation Anklet in December
1941. He left us some secret papers about it. He was a Sub-Lieutenant in Naval
Intelligence attached to Admiral Hamilton of the cruiser HMS Arethusa. He
led twelve Norwegian (sailors or resistance?) in a fishing boat and captured four armed Germans in Soorvagen and two Norwegian collaborators. He was
very upset at having to arrest the Norwegians in their homes because it was
Christmas time and one of the wives took something from her Christmas tree and
gave it to her husband before he was taken away. I do not know what happened to
these men but I hope they were cared for. I expect that they were taken to
England for questioning and were
probably released after the war?
The removal of the Germans made it easier for Major
Torrence and his commandos to destroy the Radio Transmitter on Skomvaer Island.
My father was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his action and we have
the medal, his report to Flag Officer, Force J (Admiral Hamilton) and his
See signal from Flag Officer, Force J
