Leader of NC polygamist sect gets 2 life terms for cult murders
The former leader of a polygamist cult in North Carolina has been sentenced to two life terms for the shooting deaths of a 4-year-old boy he believed to be gay and a woman who sought to leave.
Peter Lucas Moses, Jr. was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty last year to shooting Jadon Higganbothan in the head because he believed the boy was an abomination. Prosecutors say Moses later ordered the death of 28-year-old Antoinetta McKoy when he learned she couldn't have children.
Their bodies were found in 2011 by a plumber working at a Durham home previously shared members of the group called the Black Hebrews. Adherents and their children lived together, with Moses declaring several of the women as his wives.
Four others have also pleaded guilty in the killings.

Editor's note: Do you need something to smile about? Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to its Laughlines forum and brings it to you as the WND Joke of the Day. Here is today's offering:
A woman walks into a big New York bank and explains to the teller that she wants to take out a loan for $10,000 so she can go to Europe for a week.
The teller says, "We'll need collateral for a loan of that size and that purpose."
The woman hands her the keys to a brand new Rolls Royce Phantom and says, "I'm sure this will be more than suitable."
The teller immediately calls the supervisor, who calls his boss, who has some one check out whether the car was stolen. They discover the woman bought the car from a reputable dealer earlier that day.
The bank accepts the car as collateral, parking it in the bank's garage and securing the keys in the vault. The woman takes her money and goes to Europe.
She comes back a week later and says she'd like to pay back the loan and get her car back. So, she writes a check for the $10,000 plus $100 for the interest.
The teller says, "We ran a background check on you when you applied for the loan and you're very wealthy already. Why did you take out a loan for a trip to Europe and put up your Rolls Royce as collateral?"
Looking up from her check book the woman says, "Where else in New York can I pay $100 to park my Rolls Royce for a week and expect it to be there when I get back?"

Be thankful for the bottomless gluttony of man today. It's probably going to help Australian stocks! The US markets came out of their Turkey Coma to rally higher on Friday. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow finished more than one per cent higher. That should be good enough for a positive start to the week in Australia.
Not only are people eating like there's no tomorrow, they're spending that way too. Shoppers spent over a $1 billion online Friday for the first time ever, according to CNET. It was a 23% increase over last year. And in the US, they didn't even wait for the Thanksgiving indigestion to die down. Thursday's sales were $633 million, up 32% from last year.
What kind of appetite can never be satisfied by more food or more things? It's not really an appetite we're talking about. It's the sense that something meaningful is missing in life. You try to fill up the empty spot with gravy, or a new jumper.
By the way, we don't mean 'bottomless gluttony' in a pejorative sense. It is what it is. But it does remind us that Gibbon attributed the decline and fall of Rome to the use of public monies on bread and circuses. In the modern day consumer empire, there are no public monies left. It's all on credit. But the principle of declining standards of human behaviour in the face of a system breaking down...that's basically the same.
But as we said, at least stocks are going up. And in Australia's case, how can they not? The currency wars favour capital flows into Australia. Japan, the US, and Europe are all deliberatus dollaerely weakening their currencies to try and boost growth and avoid debt deflation. This makes the Aussie dollar relatively stronger, and probably stronger than it ought to be based on lower commodity prices and a lower terms of trade.
However in a world of relative prices, one mustn't stick too closely to absolutes. The Aussie dollar is strong because it is strong, whatever the reason. The more useful question is whether the strong Australian dollar is actually capping what would be a larger move in Aussie stocks prices.

Source: StockCharts
On a year-to-date basis, a side-by-side chart of the Aussie dollar and the All Ordinaries wouldn't tell you that much. In fact in the last year, both have tracked sideways. But let's go back before the era of QE got underway in earnest, back to March 2009.
You can see that since then, the S&P 500 has doubled. Meanwhile, the Aussie dollar is up almost 64% against the US dollar. The All Ords are up just under 40%. Forty per cent in a few years certainly isn't bad. But it makes you wonder, would a weaker Aussie dollar - say the Reserve Bank cut interest rates 150 basis points or so - kick off a rally in stocks?
Hmm. Lower interest rates could move savers out of conservative investments and into growth stocks. But they could also trigger capital flight - foreign investors taking their money elsewhere. This is the RBA's dollar dilemma.
We'll ask around the office to see if anyone has ideas about this relationship between the Aussie dollar and the All Ords. Murray's thoughts on the matter are already pretty clear. He's referring to a kind of financial extinction event - the sort of thing where your money dies but your body survives. In fact, he reckons the extinction event is already under way.
But extinction events aren't anything to lose sleep over. There's nothing you can do about them anyway. Regards,

Setting up a OpenVPN server
This article describes how to set up an OpenVPN server with the Alpine Linux. This is an ideal solution for allowing single users or devices to remotely connect to your network. To establish connectivity with a Remote Office or site, Racoon/Opennhrp would provide better functionality.
It is recommended that you have a publicly routable static IP address in order for this to work. This means that your IP address cannot be in the private IP address ranges described here: WikiPedia
If your Internet-connected machine doesn't have a static IP address, DynDNS can be used for resolving DNS names to IP addresses.
Setup Alpine
Initial Setup
Follow Installing_Alpine to setup Alpine Linux.
Install programs
Install openvpn
apk add openvpn
Prepare autostart of OpenVPN
rc-update add openvpn default
modprobe tun echo "tun" >>/etc/modules
One of the first things that needs to be done is to make sure that you have secure keys to work with. Alpine makes this easy by having a web interface to manage the certificates. Documentation for it can be found here: Generating_SSL_certs_with_ACF. It is a best practice not to have your certificate server be on the same machine as the router being used for remote connectivity.
You will need to create a server (ssl_server_cert) certificate for the server and one client (ssl_client_cert) for each client. To use the certificates, you should download the .pfx file and extract it.
To extract the three parts of each .pfx file, use the following commands:
To get the ca cert out...
openssl pkcs12 -in PFXFILE -cacerts -nokeys -out ca.pem
To get the cert file out...
openssl pkcs12 -in PFXFILE -nokeys -clcerts -out cert.pem
To get the private key file out. Make sure this stays private.
openssl pkcs12 -in PFXFILE -nocerts -nodes -out key.pem
On the VPN server, you can also install the acf-openvpn package, which contains a web page to automatically upload and extract the server certificate. There is also a button to automatically generate the Diffie Hellman parameters.
If you would prefer to generate your certificates using OpenVPN utilities, see #Alternative Certificate Method
Configure OpenVPN server
Example configuration file for server. Place the following content in /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:
local "Public Ip address" port 1194 proto udp dev tun ca openvpn_certs/server-ca.pem cert openvpn_certs/server-cert.pem dh openvpn_certs/dh1024.pem #to generate by hand #openssl dhparam -out dh1024.pem 1024 server 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt push "route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0" push "dhcp-option DNS 10.0.0.1" keepalive 10 120 comp-lzo user nobody group nobody persist-key persist-tun status /var/log/openvpn-status.log log-append /var/log/openvpn.log verb 3
(Instructions are based on openvpn.net/howto.html#server)
Test your configuration
Test configuration and certificates
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
Configure OpenVPN client
Example client.conf:
client dev tun proto udp remote "public IP" 1194 resolv-retry infinite nobind ns-cert-type server # This means that the certificate on the openvpn server needs to have this field. Prevents MitM attacks persist-key persist-tun ca client-ca.pem cert client-cert.pem key client-key.pem comp-lzo verb 3
(Instructions are based on openvpn.net/howto.html#client)
Save settings
Don't forget to save all your settings if you are running a RAM-based system.
lbu commit
More than one server or client
If you want more than one server or client running on the same alpine box, use the standard Multiple Instances of Services process.
For example, to create a config named "AlphaBravo":
- Create an approriate /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf file, but name it "/etc/openvpn/AlphaBravo.conf"
- create a new symlink of the init.d script:
ln -s /etc/init.d/openvpn /etc/init.d/openvpn.AlphaBravo
- Have the new service start automatically
rc-update add openvpn.AlphaBravo
Alternative Certificate Method
Manual Certificate Commands
(Instructions are based on openvpn.net/howto.html#pki)
Initial setup for administrating certificates
The following instructions assume that you want to save your configs, certs and keys in /etc/openvpn/keys.
Start by moving to the /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa folder to execute commands
apk add openvpn-easy-rsa cd /usr/share/doc/openvpn/easy-rsa
If not already done then create a folder where you will save your certificates and save a copy of your /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars for later use.
(All files in /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa are overwritten when the computer is restarted)
mkdir /etc/openvpn/keys cp ./vars /etc/openvpn/keys
If not already done then edit /etc/openvpn/keys/vars
(This file is used for defining paths and other standard settings)
vim /etc/openvpn/keys/vars
- Change KEY_DIR= from "$EASY_RSA/keys" to "/etc/openvpn/keys"
- Change KEY_SIZE, CA_EXPIRE, KEY_EXPIRE, KEY_COUNTRY, KEY_PROVINCE, KEY_CITY, KEY_ORG, KEY_EMAIL to match your system.
source the vars to set properties
source /etc/openvpn/keys/vars
touch /etc/openvpn/keys/index.txt echo 00 > /etc/openvpn/keys/serial
Set up a 'Certificate Authority' (CA)
Clean up the keys folder.
Generate Diffie Hellman parameters
Now lets make the CA certificates and keys
Set up a 'OpenVPN Server'
Create server certificates
./build-key-server <commonname>
Set up a 'OpenVPN Client'
Create client certificates
./build-key <commonname>
Revoke a certificate
To revoke a certificate
./revoke-full <commonname>
The revoke-full script will generate a CRL (certificate revocation list) file called crl.pem in the keys subdirectory.
The file should be copied to a directory where the OpenVPN server can access it, then CRL verification should be enabled in the server configuration:
crl-verify crl.pem

Trip Report: 6 Date: May 3, 08 Flight: AC 704 YYZ - YUL Seat: 22 K Aircraft: 77L Load: 1% C / 20% Y I was going to use my Flight Pass for a YYZ - YUL and YOW - YYZ trip I needed to make but the fare war with Porter and WestJet made it cheaper to buy the flights on AC in the Tango category. Total for the 2 flights all-in came to $200. Checked in on-line, all carry-on. No issues. The Long Term parking air-train terminal... nice and new and looking like T1 architecture. Info board inside... every time I take the train someone asks for directions, seems no one reads this thing. Weather was bad... leaving LTP terminal (Viscount) Canadian institution Tim Horton's inside T1. Cheapest and best eats in the terminal. Less than $1.50 for a bottle of water, un-heard of elsewhere in the terminal. Never fear the lineup it moves quick... For me it was off the the lounge as I had some time to kill. The BMW lounge in the lounge... it has a nice TV and 3 PCs. Usually it is pretty quiet. General seating in the lounge... Made myself a caesar... hmmm... it was good... Spotting isn't easy from the lounge, thanks to the architects. Some T1 traffic in the foreground and T3 in the background... I boarded with other Star Alliance members but no one was in my sector, good chance for a pic! Weather seemed ok and boarding was quick. Thales IFE... Again the maps didn't work! Seat pitch... The weather got much worse... this photo doesn't do it justice. Probably a 30 minute delay to pushback. Tough gig... Passing a KLM bird at T3 New Sunquest livery... they have now started scheduled service in addition to charter... New Sunwing livery... maybe it is Sunwing that started the scheduled... Miami Air, no idea they flew to Toronto... AC hangar... Mood lighting on... only for the rich! C was full of deadheading crew, 1 paying customer I think. Lie-flats for 50 minute flight... solid! We were number 18 for departure with only one runway in service... estimated time was 40+ minutes to takeoff. I decided to spend my time photographing the UPS truck... The lineup... UPS truck... No camera issues... just weather and rain effect... Clearing the clouds... Airtime of 55 minutes, drink service only... Nice light during descent... Dam! Find the Quebec flag... another dam! Final into YUL Olympic departing... The old Mirabel airport transfer bus things, I remember them taking me to Sabena, Canada3000 and countless other flights... Even with the delays, I got to Montreal and the Bell Centre in time to catch the 1st goal of the game. Although it seems my attendance didn't help the team. At least there weren't any riots!

Well, had some time between jobsite visit and speaking engagement. Lunchtime, Fairfax VA. Hmmm- discussion of vegetarian diet and guns. Fairfax.... How about the NRA cafeteria? Today is STEAK DAY! Ribeye, medium rare, baked potato, green beans. Then a tour thru the museum. *burp* Winds- they have Annie Oakley's shotgun and pistol (will be sending you photo) Dirty Harry's 44 Magnum, and Josie Wales' revolvers. Quigley's Sharps rifle, Eisenhower's 45, MaCArthur's .32 Colt, and Chuck Yeager's gold plated .32 he got from Cuba. Gyrojet rocket carbine, and Rooster Cogburn's carbine. Elmer Keith's 44. Had the chance to meet Mr. Jim Supica, director of the museum. Jim and I have corresponded over the years, never met face to face- hell of a nice guy, and THE guy to head the museum. He has also been so kind as to grace the pages of our humble forum to help in a quest for info on a gun in the past.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
As to the best all-around climate in the USA, its right here in California, specifically right here where I live. Never too hot for very long (though we will get up into triple digits once in awhile), never too cold for very long either- we will get snow here at the house once in awhile (2000' elevation) but it never lasts more than a day or two, the most I have ever seen was in '76 when we got over a foot. That stayed around for a couple of weeks. Played hell with the trees. In the summertime we will get maybe one or two rain showers, enough to cut the dust a bit. Here at the house we will get around 50 inches of rail annually, but only a third of that down in the flatlands (Silicon Valley). You can drive from the beach to the high Sierra in a few hours. Surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon. The political climate sucks balls though.
3 gallons of crazy in a 2 gallon bucket Know your limits; exceed them often That which does not kill me had better run pretty damn fast. Sticks and stones may break my bones but hollow points expand on impact.

With that thinly sharpened steel operating device; A prima facie harmless agent of transmission, You pierce your erotic bronzed skin As you embark on that Sisyphean. When the transmitting agent meets your ever looking And luscious tanned-coloured skin A package is deposited into the vein via the tubular vessel. At that delivery point with the first quick sharp pain That sets your hippocampus excitingly agog Euphoria is born; that magical feelings That makes every seconds of your life so precious That superlunary mantras begin to form in your brain webs And you begin to feel omniscient. Your euphoria metamorphose as the steel pierce your vein The reception hymns to your delight with tintinnabulum As the fluid flows into your bloodstream The rhythm of the euphoria perfects its worth. Swiftly for all you're worth You've come to a Rubicon where you worth nothing But a needless object with your needle.

The metamorphosis in Gautam Gambhir has been remarkable. Without compromising on flair, the dasher has now become a stayer. His sure-footed 167 at Green Park here on Tuesday was the prolific Gambhir's fourth hundred in successive Tests. In a stunning run, the southpaw has seven centuries in his last nine Tests.
Gambhir's opening partner, the belligerent Virender Sehwag, blitzed a 122-ball 131 after a rather watchful start following an early reprieve.
India, winning an important toss, was 417 for two at stumps before a colourful and a near-capacity crowd on the first day of the second Test. This is the most number of runs scored by India in a single day of a Test.
Placid pitches
While the pace of the run-getting has increased in Tests, the flat tracks have been a contributing factor. The batsmen have been playing more shots but are also being helped by an increasing number of placid pitches. The surface here, at least on day one, was no exception. The batsmen are certainly not complaining. The in-form Rahul Dravid was on a serene, unbeaten 85 of pleasing drives. Maestro Sachin Tendulkar is on 20.
The run feast promises to continue on Wednesday. Will this pitch offer assistance to the spinners from day four? After the first hour when the ball darted around – this was largely due to the dew on the surface rather than a layer of dead grass on the wicket – the pitch turned into another batting beauty. In the early phase, Gambhir played close to his body and Sehwag curbed his attacking instinct.
Costly miss
Sehwag was yet to open his account when he edged left-armer Chanaka Welegedara's delivery angling across and Mahela Jayawardene, his vision obstructed by wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene diving across, spilled a low catch.
Welegedara and Angelo Matthews - the Sri Lankans left out injured pacemen Dammika Prasad to include a third spinner in Ajantha Mendis – bowled capably without luck. Both the openers played and missed, were rapped on the pads.
Matthews has a useful off-cutter and came desperately close to winning a leg-before decision against Sehwag; replays showed the ball brushing the leg-stump.
Sehwag opened out gradually. Two scorching drives down-the-ground off Matthews sped to the fence. While meeting the ball with a full and a straight bat reduced the risks, it was also a quicker way to find the ropes. The straight boundary at Green Park is considerably shorter than the ones on the sides.
Once the spinners came on, both openers cut loose. The Indian game-plan was clear - do not allow the spinners to settle down.
Gambhir launched into Rangana Herath; a left-arm spinner is less of a threat against a southpaw.
Using his feet and the crease, Gambhir struck three boundaries in Herath's first over – two cover-drives off either foot and a lofted stroke over mid-on – and Sangakkara took the spinner off. India was winning the mental duel.
Mendis was punished by Sehwag in the first over; a full toss was ruthlessly dismissed over the mid-wicket boundary. The Sri Lankans were not helping their cause either with some ordinary bowling.
Audacious stroke-play
Mendis and Herath never really recovered from the pounding and off-spinning wizard Muttiah Muralitharan was greeted with twinkling footwork and rapier-like strokes. Much of Sehwag's stroke-play was audacious; he was driving Muralitharan through the covers against the spin.
The total raced to 131 for no loss at lunch and both batsmen reached hundreds after lunch. It was Muralitharan who eventually broke the partnership that had put on 233 runs in 41.2 overs. He had Sehwag swiftly held by Tillakaratne Dilshan at extra cover with a flighted delivery that straightened from just outside the off-stump.
Gambhir, once again using the depth of the crease admirably to shorten the length, and Dravid put together 137 runs in 230 balls with positive batting.
Muralitharan came under the hammer but eventually consumed Gambhir with flight and dip after going round-the-wicket. He pouched a marvellous return catch.
Dravid continued to pile on the runs. The feature of Dravid's batting was the ease and the fluency with which he breached the field with back-footed cover-drives off Muralitharan. The experienced right-hander is in wonderful batting rhythm and he leaned into his cover and off-drives off the front foot as well off the pacemen.
Matthews sent down a disciplined – an attribute the Lankan bowling lacked for most part - spell late in the day. The Sri Lankans pinned their hopes on the second new ball taken in the closing stages of Tuesday.
India has brought in paceman S. Sreesanth and left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha for Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra for the Test.

Tips on Choosing Cell Phone Chargers
While almost all cell phones include an adapter for recharging batteries, you may need backup cell phone chargers or a replacement at some point. If you're visiting a country with different voltage requirements, you might also need a universal adapter or charger.

Most modern cell phones are more than just a communication device; they also serve as a navigation system, a Web browser, a handheld game system, a music player, a day-planner and much more.

And even with cell phone accessories like car chargers and emergency chargers, your battery power may not last long enough.

Photo Restoration in Photoshop and Bringing Memories Back to Life
When Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast last fall, I remember reading stories about the survivors (by chance I'd escaped it myself by just hours a week before) and one theme kept popping up – people facing great danger to retrieve their family photos. Brave survivors were running into hazardous buildings, fighting through rushing floods and putting their lives at risk to retrieve precious memories. Those photos were people's most valued treasures, and the storm was damaging them the same way it damaged their homes and their lifestyles.
I needed a way to help. It was unbearable to see these victims fight to recover their most prized photographs, only to find them damaged by the storm. Knowing Photoshop's tremendous power for retouching and restoration, I looked everywhere for tutorial content to share, but nothing seemed right. I knew my background in photo restoration could be of use, and the solution seemed to be one that everyone could appreciate (we all have old, damaged photos – right?).
Luckily, the team at lynda.com came to the rescue. They offered me one of their studios to record a video series about using the tools in Photoshop to recover photos. I wanted to make the series available to anyone for free, and their team absolutely understood that.
Starting today, lynda.com is offering free access to my "Photoshop Insider Training: Photo Restoration" video series to anyone through the "Like to Learn" tab on their Facebook page. The series, which totals 25 videos and more than 70 minutes of footage, will take viewers through the entire photo restoration process, starting with the scanning/uploading process and ending with my own personal finishing touches. For a preview of the series, check out the clip below.
Throughout the series, I discuss the role Adobe Camera Raw plays in the restoration process, including tips on toning, coloring and cropping. You'll learn how to use Photoshop to remove dust, scratches and other distracting blemishes. The series even covers correcting serious problems like tears, creases, stains and water damage.
To get started, go to the "Like to Learn" tab on the lynda.com Facebook page. After that, you can watch the videos for free and get started restoring your memories.

With a painting tool selected, Control + Option (Mac) – drag left/right in order to decrease/ increase brush size. Control + Option (Mac) – drag up/down to decrease/ increase brush hardness.
On Windows, Control + Alt + Right Mouse -drag left right to decrease/ increase brush size and up/down decrease/ increase brush hardness.
hope that helps!
Thank you very much Bryan

Reporting a bug: The FB share button isn't working as it is supposed to. On Clicking it, the "Post to Timeline" button gets cropped out and a user thus cannot share the article. Maybe the button needs a higher Z-Index in CSS or something likely.
What about the Certificate of that? can we also get the certificate?

Well, the provided information regarding the technique of restoration photo is extremely handy. From the provided tutorial I managed to add life to the old photographs of my grand parents. Thanks Bryan for sharing the valuable information.
Great restoration course. I'm a beginner in all this, can you tell me how to evaluate the photo, ie what can and cannot be done and when I've added/fixed what I can of a photo, when it would be considered done?
I've watched your series on Lynda.com about restoring photos and it's wonderful. Well done!
restoration photo has become part and parcel of photography. You can change old looking photograph into completely new one. This helps in repairing old photographs.
where is the "Like to Learn" tab located?
Perfect effects, really nice!
has this free video viewing expired now?
Photoshop is a very great help in restoring the beauty of old photos, you can edit it anything you want. Old photo may seems to be more valuable and adorable if it is being restore, Check this video it may give you some idea about photo restoration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMtV6D_-jfw

Thanks & Regards,
Thanks for the video series. I have watched certain videos several times. Love the content aware move tool. One question. I don't know when to use a hard or soft brush. How does one decide?
Thank you for this information. I want to purchase Photoshop, but there are so many products I'm not sure which one I need. My main interest is scanning and restoring photos. Thank you for any suggestions. i have an IMAC.
Hi Connie,
Either Elements 12 http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html or Photoshop CC https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom would be good for photo restoration.
Is this course no longer free? It states that it's supposed to be free, but I have to join lynda.com at a cost.
Great blog. Thanks for sharing from Photo restoration Dublin
thanks a lot for sharing and the movies. Now I can start to restore some old family pictures and be ready for nice Christmas presents!
Dear Bryan,
I cannot find the 'like to learn' tab on the Lynda.com facebook page.
Please could you tell me how to find your free course on photo restoration?
Many thanks for your help.
Robert Bellingford
I love Lynda – they are a goldmine of information and a great way to build skills. Restoration skills are just something we absolutely will always need, even if Lynda's not offering the video it for free anymore.
Being a photo restorer myself, I use Lynda to brush up on new skills, learn new things. Great things they're doing over there.
My main interest is scanning and restoring photos…
thank you
Some great content here. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday!

I guess one of the perks of writing a blog is having a public forum in which to wish the impetus BEHIND the blog happy birthday. So, happy 16th birthday to my one and only son! I wish for you a day and a year filled with dreams, happiness, love, success, and striving.

G-Street 5pts The front end- Great The Rear view- Great Side Profil- AWFULIts like they tried to make a fastback SUV or something weird? Too expensive, too ugly and too not my style.. I'd prefer an Infiniti FX if I had to buy a foreign high performance CUV.
alexbeta12 5pts ok, it's a bit out of sense... I still have issues getting used to the idea of the M badge on a SAV (or SAC)... but BMW again leave me speechless with their capacity to make everything they do so well!!! the car looks amazing, again that fast-yet-smooth ride and all the features you'd expect from a Bimmer.. I'm not sure if it's gonna be a high-sales car, but I'm lovin' it!!!
Bruceleroy81 5pts I agree somewhat with true enthusiast and cactus man. I would much rather prefer the M series to the X5. It would look much better. The X6 looks like a waste of a production and looks like it's trying to hard.If BMW really wants to make the Ultimate driving machine with that kind of performance, They should've had that set for M3 or the M6. Not on an SUV that looks like it's trying to hard. Leave that kind true of capability to the sports cars.
true_enthusiast 5pts I blame SUV buyers for this abomination. If you need a car buy a car. If you need a truck, buy a real truck. If you just want to sit up high while driving a massive beast like it's a tiny sports car, please get off the road. Nothing that weighs 5,000+ lbs needs to have the word "sport" anywhere in it's name, and it definitely shouldn't have an M badge and low profile tires. This thing looks like its trying too hard to be too many things at once.
SuperCJ427 5pts This thing looks beautiful??? Are you all morons? if anything uglier than this then its Aztec. Look at that ugly wheel wells and side profile. I still have a hard time digesting X6 lineup. And 90Gs for this crap. Go buy any Audi.
F1guy 5pts Cool, but at 89k, why?What purpose is their for me to buy one?Give me a GT-R or a Z06 and hell, ill even buy a Corolla for gas-sipping transport.
syj1 5pts If light weight is key in a nimble vehicle why would anyone who could afford numerous super V8 sedans buy this instead? It weighs more than an Enclave. Give me the CTS-V or XF-R any day.
chaise1984 5pts LOOK at the damn numbers and tell me this car doesn't make sense. I would LOOOOVVVE to have this vehicle, oh man I can see myself in it RIGHT NOW!. I just love it love it love it, ok I think you got the picture. I mean look at it, its like a big bull dog right in your face!. Next car when I trade in the DX, may very well be this instead of a 5 series, might not be able to aofford the M, but I am working on it.
emy1256 5pts I wouldn't say this car is beautiful but it looks like your not getting cheated in terms of performance. Still to pricey and for 90k it should have zero brake fade. This would probably be a nice buy as a used car in 3 or 4 years.
noboomer 5pts I agree with f1champs posting. The vehicle actually makes sense if you see it through the eyes of someone who can't bend there knees, doesn't necessarily care about looks, but does have a lot of money.
bbkk 5pts I don't like it at any price. I love M cars more than anything, but an M SUV just strikes me the wrong way. I think the M badge has no business being on an SUV, especially since they're so late to join the hopped-up SUV party. It makes even less sense when you consider that the US/European governments are pressuring car companies to adhere to ever-stricter emissions standars.
IBx1 5pts Still looks ugly. If BMW could give their SUV's a front end with any sort of harmony to the design instead of the dischord we've been getting ever since the X5 came out, well I'd like it much better.Maybe it'd be more attractive if it cost less than $90,000. I'd like it better at $60,000.
edkings22 5pts C&D states that the X6 has 555 hp and here it says the X6 has 547. Is the C&D number in PS? The X6 M is a heavy beast but it performs like the M3. Its not for me though even if I had the money.
Brown_Pride 5pts I agree with Bimmer. It is absolutely beautiful and very unique. I love it!! As Bimmer said, two thumbs up!
f1champ 5pts It's not a ideal car/whatever for me but if I'm 50+, have problems with knees (have a hard getting in/out of sedan) and I want a super car which sits high up; this vehicle fits the description.
_E60_ 5pts ugly?? i think this ute looks spectacular! It looks cooler, sleeker, sexier, and more unique than any other sport-ute i can think of. And it has high-performance! Two thumbs up for the X6 M

Iowa Legislature honors Hawkeyes' Kirk Ferentz
UI football coach Kirk Ferentz on Jan. 5, 2010
University of Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz was honored today at the Iowa Capitol for "one of the most entertaining, talented, and successful teams in Hawkeye history."
"It was an exciting year, to say the least," Ferentz told the Iowa Senate this afternoon. "It's a little easier to look back now that we know what the results were."
In January, the University of Iowa claimed its biggest bowl victory in a half-century, defeating Georgia Tech 24-14 in the Orange Bowl.
It was the Hawkeyes' first victory in a Bowl Championship Series game and most significant bowl victory for the school since its 38-12 triumph over the University of California in the 1959 Rose Bowl.
Ferentz told senators today that many Iowans have told him in the last couple months that the football team and the bowl victory brought them joy.
"That's one of the great things about sports," Ferentz said. "It gives everybody a chance maybe to get a release for a couple hours during the week and just focus on something that maybe takes their mind off some hardships or tough times and certainly our state's been through some tough times in the past couple years. If it helped in any way, we're really thrilled about that."
The best part of his job is working with the outstanding student athletes and staff, he said.
But Ferentz teasingly chided Ron Stewart, who was on the sidelines of the 1959 Rose Bowl game as a child, and is now the Hawkeye's chief of security.
Stewart let security slip the night of the Orange Bowl game, he said.
"At the end of the bowl game, he helped those guys nail me with the Gatorade and I got a cold shower that night," Ferentz said.
Ferentz repeatedly thanked lawmakers for their support for all the University of Iowa's programs.
"I'm very proud to be an Iowan," he said. "I've coached at other places and believe me when I tell you that we have a very, very unique support level in Iowa and I'm very appreciative of that."
Both the House and Senate sponsored resolutions today offering congratulations.
After the Senate approved its version, sponsored by Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, and Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville, Ferentz earned chuckles when he said: "I don't know much about politics other than watching a little bit on television. I'm just guessing, not too many things get passed through here this quickly."
Here's what Senate Resolution 108 says:
"A Resolution to celebrate the highlights for the 2009 football season of the University of Iowa football team.
"WHEREAS, the 2009 University of Iowa football team will be remembered as one of the most entertaining, talented, and successful teams in Hawkeye history; and
"WHEREAS, the 11 wins equals the program's 2002 record for victories in a season; and
"WHEREAS, the regular season win total of 10 was achieved for only the fourth time; "and WHEREAS, for the first time ever, the Hawkeyes won the first nine games of a season; and
"WHEREAS, Iowa played in a January bowl game for the sixth time in eight years; and
"WHEREAS, Iowa won a Bowl Championship Series-caliber bowl game for the first time since 1959 in beating Georgia Tech in the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl 24-14; and
"WHEREAS, the Hawkeyes finished the 2009 season with an 11-2 overall record and a 6-2 Big Ten mark, finishing in a second place tie; and
"WHEREAS, the Hawkeyes have won at least nine games for the fifth time in the last eight years and for the seventh time in school history have won 10 games or more; and
"WHEREAS, the Hawkeyes were ranked seventh in both major polls at the conclusion of the season, the highest final ranking for the program since 1960; and
"WHEREAS, defensive end Adrian Clayborn was named Most Valuable Player of the FedEx Orange Bowl; and
"WHEREAS, Coach Kirk Ferentz was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third time; and
"WHEREAS, offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga was picked as the Big Ten's Offensive Lineman of the Year; and
"WHEREAS, All-Big Ten first teamers included Bryan Bulaga (OL), Dace Richardson (OL), Tony Moeaki (TE), Adrian Clayborn (DE), Pat Angerer (LB), Tyler Sash (DB), and Amari Spievey (DB), and five additional Hawkeyes were named to the league's second unit; and
"WHEREAS, Bryan Bulaga and Pat Angerer were named first-team all-Americans, Tyler Sash was a second team choice, and Adrian Clayborn made the third team; and
"WHEREAS, the Iowa Hawkeyes have earned 70 wins since the start of the 2002 season, which places them at a tie for the 16th highest total in Division I football; and
"WHEREAS, Iowa's football record in the 2000 decade was 80-45 (.640), a record that ranks as the best decade in Iowa football history, based on total wins;
"That the Senate congratulates the University of Iowa football team for a stellar season and looks forward to a great season in 2010."

Epidemic carbon monoxide poisoning following a winter storm. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9279697 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Hospital emergency departments were surveyed to estimate the number of patients treated for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning after a severe winter storm disrupted electrical service in western Washington State. At least 81 persons were treated. The two main sources of CO were charcoal briquettes (54% of cases) and gasoline-powered electrical generators (40% of cases). Of the 44 persons affected by CO from burning charcoal, 40 (91%) were members of ethnic minority groups; 27 did not speak English. All persons affected by CO from generators were non-Hispanic Whites. This was the largest epidemic of storm-related CO poisoning reported in the United States. This epidemic demonstrated the need to anticipate CO poisoning as a possible consequence of winter storms in cold climates and to make preventive messages understandable to the entire population at risk, including those persons who do not understand written or spoken English. |

Lower East Side evangelist Lockhart Steele has revamped his blog and added comments to his review section. Lockhart's review of WD-50: "The prices establish a new high-water mark for the neighborhood, but for that one special meal, this is one special place." A reader's response: "I've lived around the corner from Clinton Street since 1997 and the restaurant-row infusion has done little for me. The only place I've *ever* eaten at on the entire block is the Clinton Bakery Company. The rest of those places are for uptowners. It's always comical to walk by Clinton Fresh Food and see all the WASPs and preppies stuffing their faces in there. How they even find Clinton street on a map is beyond me."

Director: Steve Drakos
Company: Private U.S.A.
Distribution Companies: Pure Play Media
Gabriel Montoya, Kathy Anderson, Ellen Saint, Silvia Lancome, George Uhl, Jennifer Stone, Stacy Silver
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Vice for Vice is European glamour fetish. The girls are all beautiful models dolled up like top-dollar outcall escorts from a Milan dungeon. But they're well worth the money, particularly for those who like seeing them take it in the ass. Every scene is anal.
In the first scene, two blondes get ass banged on a plush Victorian-era sofa and loveseat. A domineering, leather-clad mistress in stockings gets it next in a room full of mirrors. Then a hot blonde with perfect breasts bangs a dude wearing a gimp mask. She footjobs him to completion. Elsewhere, a glamorous slave girl gets triple-teamed.
Retailing: Good addition to the Pirate Fetish Machine series.

This gorgeous Pauline Rader Necklace is composed of a rich matte gold-toned metal. It measures a full 3 1/2 inches across and is suspended from a 24 inch double strand chain-link designed chain.
The outer portion of the pendant has a floral design and the center has a 3 dimensional mystical face of a man from which 5 thinner chains with balls on the tips suspend from his mouth. This is typical of Pauline Rader designs, as they were influenced by her love of antiquity and her pieces were highly imaginative, depicting mystical Greek or Italian influences, like this one.
Pauline Rader produced designs in very small quantities for a select clientele and elite boutiques, therefore, her jewelry is difficult to find and is very collectible. She ceased operations in the 1980's.
Circa 1965-1970, this piece is in great vintage condition. There is some slight wear around the upper brows of the mystical face, but it is not really noticeable when worn.
Mark: Pauline Rader on fused oval plaque on back of pendant.
This necklace is stunning a a sure conversation piece for the collector.

COLUMBIA - Losing the sixth game of the season isn't new for the Missouri football team. It's exactly what they did last year. The only differences are that this time, the loss happened in Columbia, and the perpetrator was Oklahoma State, not Oklahoma.
After that loss, the Tigers reeled off six straight wins, advanced to the Big 12 Championship and ascended to No. 1 in the rankings before a second loss to Oklahoma.
A look at the 10 teams ahead of the Tigers:
No. 1 Texas
Games remaining against Top 25: Missouri, Oklahoma State, at Texas Tech, at Kansas, possible Big 12 title game
Outlook for Missouri: Positive. The Tigers control their own destiny, and without beating Texas, their national title hopes are sunk anyway.
No. 2 Alabama
Games remaining against Top 25: at LSU, possible SEC title game
Outlook: Dicey. Besides LSU, every opponent before the SEC title game has three losses. Missouri's hopes might hinge on the SEC East champion.
No. 3 Penn State
Games remaining against Top 25: at Ohio State, Michigan State
Outlook: Difficult. The Nittany Lions have never won at Ohio State since joining the Big Ten, but their remaining games are much easier and they have no title game.
No. 4 Oklahoma
Games remaining against Top 25: Kansas, Texas Tech, at Oklahoma State, possible Big 12 title game
Outlook: So-so. The Sooners could be No. 1 but not play in the Big 12 title game if Texas' only loss is Missouri. But if the Tigers own two wins over the only team to beat Oklahoma, that could weigh in their favor.
No. 5 Florida
Games remaining against Top 25: Georgia, at Vanderbilt, possible SEC title game
Outlook: Not bad. The Gators' loss was bad, to Mississippi at home. Voters would have a difficult call if both Florida and Missouri finish with one loss.
No. 6 Southern California
Games remaining against Top 25: California
Outlook: Not bad. The Trojans lost to Oregon State at home, and other than California, there are no chances to impress voters. If Missouri leapfrogs USC this week, the Trojans are no longer a factor.
No. 7 Texas Tech
Games remaining against Top 25: at Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma State, at Oklahoma, possible Big 12 title game
Outlook: Positive. Tech plays all four tough opponents in consecutive games, and if they survive, Missouri will get a shot at them anyway.
No. 8 Oklahoma State
Games remaining against Top 25: at Texas, at Texas Tech, Oklahoma, possible Big 12 title game
Outlook: Irrelevant. The Tigers are the Cowboys' biggest fans right now, because the more OSU wins, the better the loss looks. If Oklahoma State runs the table, Missouri gets a chance to avenge its loss.
No. 9 Brigham Young (if Cougars win tonight against TCU only)
Games remaining against Top 25: at Utah
Outlook: Positive. Missouri will probably jump BYU anyway with a win, and the Cougars can't make that up if the Tigers don't lose.
No. 9 Brigham Young (if the Cougars lose tonight to TCU)
Games remaining against Top 25: at Utah
Outlook: Irrelevant. TCU knocked BYU out of the race last night.
No. 10 Georgia:
Games remaining against Top 25: Vanderbilt, at LSU, Florida, possible SEC title game
Outlook: Very positive. The Bulldogs' schedule is brutal, and Missouri probably jumps them by beating Texas anyway.
So the mindset of the Missouri players is clear: A lot of things might have to break in the Tigers' favor, but this season is far from over.
"We know it's a long season," linebacker Sean Weatherspoon said. "It was this time last year when we dropped one to Oklahoma, and coach Pinkel got us in here and got us refocused. We're starting out our mission to get to the end of the season."
But if the focus of the mission is to get to the national championship game, the mission could be over before it starts if the Tigers aren't able to go down to Austin, Texas and defeat the top-ranked Longhorns.
"I think that what we should focus on is what we are focused on, and that's Texas," quarterback Chase Daniel said. "Whether we're underdogs, overdogs, whatever you want to call us, they're the No. 1 team in the nation."
Daniel might joke about his team's underdog role, but that doesn't mean he's happy about it. The loss to Oklahoma State forced the Tigers out of the top 10 and the nation's focus, and they want back.
Even coach Gary Pinkel, who says he isn't concerned with the polls at this point, said he prefers for Missouri to be the team under pressure.
"I'd rather have (the focus) right here," Pinkel said while pointing to his face.
Given the importance of polls in college football, that makes sense, because only the teams with pressure on them in the middle of the season have a real chance to play for the national title. That especially holds true for teams with a late stretch of lesser opponents on their schedule.
Of the Tigers' next four opponents after Texas, only Kansas State has a winning record. That means a second loss could be a critical blow to Missouri's national title hopes, even if history suggests otherwise.
"I don't know if you watched the national championship last year, but the team that won it had two losses," Weatherspoon said. "Hopefully, that can calm them (the fans) down a little bit."
That's true, but the LSU team that did win the title also had six victories over ranked teams, including a 41-point thrashing of ACC champion Virginia Tech. With the schedule that remains, it would be almost impossible for Missouri to overcome a loss to Texas.
With that in mind, the Tigers know that the mistakes they made against Oklahoma State have to be corrected now.
"One loss is not the end of the world," defensive tackle Ziggy Hood said. "I consider that point a change in the season to wake us up and (make us) perform better. Great teams are going to have to go through that every once in a while. The only thing that we can see from it is how you're going to bounce back and get a win."
For Weatherspoon, that means that the team's leaders have to ensure that the Tigers focus completely on Texas and avoid the mistakes of last week.
"It's just getting this football team back focused," he said. "This week has to be the best week of practices we've had since we've been here. Any guy that's been here three or four years, it has to be the best week we've ever had. Everybody knows that now."

By Margaret Reeves
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) is an essential tool in the fight against HIV. A comprehensive PMTCT approach includes four components: primary prevention of HIV among women of childbearing age; preventing unintended pregnancies among women living with HIV; preventing HIV transmission from women living with HIV to their infants; and providing appropriate treatment, care, and support to women living with HIV and their children and families. It is estimated that PMTCT, when done exceptionally well, can reduce the rate of transmission of HIV in pregnancy, at birth, and while breastfeeding, from 25–45 percent to less than 2 percent. Mother-to-child transmission accounted for over 90 percent of the estimated 370,000 new HIV infections among children in 2009. Better PMTCT programs have the promise of significantly reducing this number.
The United States has an opportunity to make rapid progress on PMTCT in the 14 countries where PEPFAR is already partnering with governments to implement PMTCT Acceleration Plans. To facilitate progress more broadly, the United States should use its leadership role and influence in global health to encourage other donors, partner organizations, and institutions such as the Global Fund to do more to lower the incidence of mother-to-child transmission. Through its own programming and diplomatic partnerships, the United States can do better by addressing more aggressively stigma and gender inequity, integrating programs, and strategically targeting investments to address persistent obstacles.

Joe's Ancient Orange (from Gotmead.com)
Here is a super simple recipe for beginners. It is so simple to make and you can make it without much equipment and with a multitude of variations. This could be a first Mead for the novice as it is almost fool proof. It is a bit unorthodox but it has never failed me or the friends I have shared it with. 1 gallon batch 3 1/2 lbs Clover or your choice honey or blend (will finish sweet) 1 Large orange (later cut in eights or smaller rind and all) 1 small handful of raisins (25 if you count but more or less ok) 1 stick of cinnamon 1 whole clove ( or 2 if you like - these are potent critters) optional (a pinch of nutmeg and allspice )( very small ) 1 teaspoon of Fleishmann's bread yeast ( now don't get holy on me--- after all this is an ancient mead and that's all we had back then) Balance water to one gallon Process: Use a clean 1 gallon carboy Dissolve honey in some warm water and put in carboy Wash orange well to remove any pesticides and slice in eights --add orange (you can push em through opening big boy -- rinds included -- its ok for this mead -- take my word for it -- ignore the experts) Put in raisins, clove, cinnamon stick, any optional ingredients and fill to 3 inches from the top with cold water. ( need room for some foam -- you can top off with more water after the first few day frenzy) Shake the heck out of the jug with top on, of course. This is your sophisticated aeration process. When at room temperature in your kitchen, put in 1 teaspoon of bread yeast. ( No you don't have to rehydrate it first-- the ancients didn't even have that word in their vocabulary-- just put it in and give it a gentle swirl or not)(The yeast can fight for their own territory) Install water airlock. Put in dark place. It will start working immediately or in an hour. (Don't use grandma's bread yeast she bought years before she passed away in the 90's)( Wait 3 hours before you panic or call me) After major foaming stops in a few days add some water and then keep your hands off of it. (Don't shake it! Don't mess with them yeastees! Let them alone except its okay to open your cabinet to smell every once in a while. Racking --- Don't you dare additional feeding --- NO NO More stirring or shaking -- Your not listening, don't touch After 2 months and maybe a few days it will slow down to a stop and clear all by itself. (How about that) (You are not so important after all) Then you can put a hose in with a small cloth filter on the end into the clear part and siphon off the golden nectar. If you wait long enough even the oranges will sink to the bottom but I never waited that long. If it is clear it is ready. You don't need a cold basement. It does better in a kitchen in the dark. (Like in a cabinet) likes a little heat (70-80). If it didn't work out... you screwed up and didn't read my instructions (or used grandma's bread yeast she bought years before she passed away) . If it didn't work out then take up another hobby. Mead is not for you. It is too complicated. If you were successful, which I am 99% certain you will be, then enjoy your mead. When you get ready to make different mead you will probably have to unlearn some of these practices I have taught you, but hey--- This recipe and procedure works with these ingredients so don't knock it. It was your first mead. It was my tenth. Sometimes, even the experts can forget all they know and make good ancient mead. Enjoy, Joe

Oil Spill Dome Finds Trouble Underwater
The dome that was meant to help contain the oil spill in the gulf ran into trouble on Saturday after it encountered flammable hydrate formations as it was lowered onto the leak area.
The gas hydrates, similar to ice crystals, formed on the inside of the 100-ton chamber as it started to get closer to the seabed, nearly a mile below the surface. BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles told reporters that this made it too buoyant and clogged it up.
Workers have removed the concrete and steel box about 200 feet to the side of the seabed while they evaluate their options.
About 210,000 gallons of oil a day keep spilling out from a pipe ruptured when the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon sank on April 22, two days after an explosion that left 11 workers dead.
The dome had been considered the best short-term solution to stave off the biggest U.S. environmental disaster since the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska.
"I wouldn't say it's failed yet," Suttles said. "What I would say is what we attempted to do last night didn't work."
Suttles said BP was also considering other methods to capture the flow.
Another option being considered was to plug the leak by injecting ground-up material in a "junk shot."
"It has certain issues and challenges and risks with it, and that's why we haven't actually progressed up to this point. But we look and continue to see whether that's a viable option," Suttles told AFP.
"It's all to do with we're working in 5,000 feet of water in a very difficult, challenging environment."
Workers also sprayed dispersants over the slick in order to break up and deploy hundreds of thousands of feet of boom to contain the spreading oil.
However, environmentalists warn that dispersants like Corexit were also a danger to sea life.
"Those products don't make the oil go away," Gulf Coast Research Laboratory marine biologist Joe Griffitt told AFP. "It just falls to the sea bottom. That's where you'll find the sediments and the larvae. So the toxic effect is double."
According to Suttles, BP anticipated encountering hydrates, but had not expected them to be as significant of a problem as it has turned out. Teams were evaluating whether the issue could be overcome by providing heat, methanol or other methods.
The dome, which could collect about 85 percent of the leaking crude by funneling it up to the surface, was expected to be operational by Monday.

PolicyPak Software loves App-V administrators! We believe in App-V!
One of PolicyPak's core superpowers is to deliver applications' settings and lock down user-interface settings – for both installed and App-V virtualized applications. You can see this in action, by our "PolicyPak Improves Microsoft App-V" Integration by clicking here.
But there's ALSO the actual App-V client which lives on your client systems. How are you configuring THAT? Answer: you likely aren't.
Here's why you might want to use our preconfigured PolicyPak for App-V to configure your systems which have the App-V client (which was created by Jeremy Moskowitz, Group Policy MVP and Ment Van Der Plas, App-V MVP.)
- The App-V client management console allows your users to clear, reset or delete their applications. However giving access to the console also gives access to the settings of the App-V client itself which might not be preferred. PolicyPak helps with this because only PolicyPak can lock out the UI of the places users shouldn't go.
- A client might need additional permissions. Simply move the client to the OU with permissions to receive the new permissions. Move back when that client no longer needs those permissions.
- Hide specific tabs from prying eyes, so they can't see what you've set.
Here's is how the preconfigured PolicyPak App-V pak stacks up with the other technologies out there which perform similar functions:

Released: Oct 01st, 2004
Running Time: 88
Company: DJ Yella Entertainment
Mone' Divine, Angel Eyes, Kia, Barbiee
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
The very brief cheerleader theme is secondary; this is mostly an all-black couples product.
All black amateur-style action with gals who quickly peel out of their cheerleader outfits is the theme. Everything is couples copulation. Most memorable is Angel Eyes, a stunning woman who may not have removed her see-through top, but she did an excellent oral job on her stud with emphasis on tongue teasing of the dick head followed by a bit of deep throat action.
The DVD is auto-start. If the menu is accessed, all it provides is scene selection (which for some reason actually begins about a minute after the scene starts).

Kim Hyun Joong released his 1st mini solo album, started his Asia Promo Tour on end July. Yesterday he arrived in Taipei and started his 4D3N schedule. Today he attended the Greater China region press conference this afternoon, the CEO of Warner Music Taiwan, Chen Ze Shan,presented the platinum record to him, on the other hand, there are alot of fans asked questions via video which he answered everyone of them.
After nearly 2 years he came to Tawian again, Kim Hyun Joong sighed, "Unfortunately not able to sing to all of you." He plan to start his Asia Concert Tour in Oct, predict that he will come to Taiwan around in January or Febuary for a concert. He also said that he heard the scenery over at Southern Taiwan is very beautiful and hopes that he can find time to go there to play.
Kim Hyun Joong after finishing his schedule yesterday, Warner Music Taiwan brought him to eat drunken chicken, baked prawns, scallops with fish maw baked rice etc different kind of Shanghai food to welcome him. He who loves spicy food kept ordering many rounds of chilli with hot pepper sauce.
But, the food that Kim Hyun Joong is unable to forget is XiaoLongBao. Yesterday he just said that he wanted to eat XiaoLongBao again and tonight Warner Music Taiwan is going to bring him to eat them again. "I am very happy, hope that schedule today can pali finish so that I can go and eat."
Claimed to have supernatural intuition, Kim Hyun Joong heard for the 1st time that currently Taiwan has this Hungry Ghost Festival going on, when being asked when filming his MV, did he encountered any "GOOD BROTHERS"? He said that the dance in his new album is very tough, wanting to film a good MV, there was a day where he danced more than 100 times, after finished filming, the dancers and him were all sick the next day. "Compared to a ghost, this process is even more frightening!"
Kim Hyun Joong will be going to BanQiao & XiMenDing for his endorsement of the korean skincare products and meeting with the fans. He will be also auctioning the sport shoes that he brought with him for charity.
On the 17th Kim Hyun Joong will be leaving Taiwan, taking the Singapore Airline flight to his next stop, Singapore, for his promotions.

this is a great pad. at 3 inches its easy to move but has more than enough cushion for a 15 or 20 ft fall! it has two layers or solid core foam then two inches of good durable foam. it's set up so that if you fall on the edge you won't role you ankle and is very durable. a great first pad and i'm happy i have it!
