text: Nowadays, it's considered much more acceptable for a girl to be tomboyish than it was years ago. Still, sometimes, TheLadette will give femininity a try, even if it's just for one episode. Maybe she wants to look and act elegant for a special occasion, or she's aiming to fit in with her friends, or she wants her {{Love Interest|s}} to see her as more than just "OneOfTheBoys". She may take it upon herself to learn ladylike behaviour, or she'll have a [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl feminine friend]] teach her to act [[ProperLady prim and proper]].Either way, she'll suck at it.If she takes [[FeminineWomenCanCook cooking lessons]], she'll end up [[LethalChef burning water]]. Any attempts to apply makeup will leave her looking [[CosmeticCatastrophe like a clown]]. Walking in high heels will result in her taking a tumble. Even after she learns polite manners, you can bet she'll swear/gobble her food/belch at the worst possible moment. Old habits die hard indeed.This can lead up to AnAesop of the BeYourself variety, that it's okay for a woman to be masculine if she's most comfortable doing so, and she shouldn't change herself to please others. It can, of course, just as easily be full of UnfortunateImplications, either that something's wrong with her because she can't act feminine, that girliness is just too mysterious or weird for her, or that her inherent tomboyishness is [[RealWomenDontWearDresses a sign that she's better than girly girls]].SuperTrope of FeminineWomenCanCook and MaternallyChallenged.Contrast GirlinessUpgrade and SheCleansUpNicely, for when the attempt at being feminine works.----!!Examples[[foldercontrol]][[folder: Anime and Manga ]]* ''Manga/LoveHina'' has {{Samurai}} girl Motoko forced to try becoming more feminine after Keitaro (more or less accidentally) defeats her in a duel. She's too violent to be good at it, though. She then feels that she has "failed" Keitaro, so she announces that she will commit ''{{seppuku}}'', ritual suicide.* Generally the case with Akane in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''. Played for laughs, of course, whenever [[GenderBender Ranma]] shows up and turns out to be immensely better than her at any feminine task.* In ''{{Manga/Kashimashi|GirlMeetsGirl}}'', {{tomboy}}ish Tomari tries to [[DifferentForGirls teach]] the [[GenderBender recently-female]] Hazumu how to act like a girl. Although she does impart some wisdom, mostly all she manages to do is prove that, even when she was in a male body, [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Hazumu was more girly than Tomari]].* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' despite Guts' [[http://www.mangareader.net/96-1128-163/berserk/chapter-8.html memorable reaction]] to [[SheCleansUpNicely seeing Casca in a dress]], the femininity is somewhat dampened a moment later when she elbows him on the jaw for staring. She does this in front of several noble ladies who are very embarrassed to have seen it.* In one late episode of the first season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', Usagi joins a club designed to help create "princesses", thinking that she could be more lady-like after the revelation that she was Princess Serenity. She flops with flying colors, the only thing she was good at was Frisbee throwing. The other girls join in and the only other people who flop are Rei and Minako. Which is a good thing when it stands revealed that the club was a trap by Kunzite, and Ami and Makoto need saving along with the other girls there.* In part of the LoveLetterLunacy in episode 4 of ''Manga/KiniroMosaic'', local Tomboy Youko attempted to be more feminine as Aya commented it's more likely [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer a girl]], rather than a boy, to send her a love letter. She tried to emulate the more girly Aya, which looked completely fake.* The third episode of ''Anime/SteelAngelKurumi Encore'' had Kurumi attempt to be more ladylike when she believes Nakahito isn't attracted to her anymore. Nakahito is more worried for her safety as she gets more and more desperate before she finally suffers a HeroicRROD and faceplants on the floor.* In ''Manga/KOn'', when Ritsu is selected for the role of [[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet Juliet]] in a class play, her friends try to help her prepare for the role by forcing her to act more feminine in real life, banning her from talking like a boy and giving her a constant stream of etiquette instructions all through their light music club meeting. The attempted makeover lasts exactly one afternoon before Ritsu snaps and goes right back to being her normal self again.--> '''Yui & Mugi:''' Sit like a lady!--> '''Ritsu:''' I can't do that while I'm playing the drums![[/folder]][[folder: Comic Books ]]* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'': One story has Calamity Jane taking etiquette and cooking lessons. Needless to say, she can't help but swear like a sailor and her cookies are inedible. When threatening a group of men with her rifle unless they eat up, one of them opens his shirt and says "[[FateWorseThanDeath Fire!]]"* One issue of ''[[Franchise/ArchieComics Archie]]'' had Veronica teaching Betty to be more ladylike (which was essentially her teaching Betty to be identical to her mannerisms.) Everything was going well until she spotted a couple of kids playing catch, which ends with her joining them and landing in a tree in retrieving the ball when it got stuck up there. While Veronica is annoyed with the turn of events, the kids all laud Betty as a hero.[[/folder]][[folder: Film ]]* The plot of ''Film/MissCongeniality''.* ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'' has the title character screwing up the traditionally feminine "matchmaker" process.* ''SylviaScarlett'' has the title character after only a short time of dressing up as a man somehow incapable of passing as a woman (she now has short hair, and masculine mannerisms so even wearing a dress is an EpicFail).* In ''Film/TheUntoldStory'', the female police officer dolls herself up to impress the guys at the office but ends up going too far and looks like a prostitute.* ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' has the awkward Mia who takes princess lessons and gets a makeover to which her friend tells her that she sold out. She's still clumsy after the lessons.[[/folder]][[folder: Literature ]]* Sarene in ''Literature/{{Elantris}}'' is a princess who tries to be traditionally feminine, but fails spectacularly at girly activities, leading to her having trouble fitting in with the court.* Hilarious example in ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'' by Creator/TerryPratchett, where an entire platoon of women pretending to be men have to go undercover in "drag", and fail miserably at it. For extra hilarity, the one actual male in the group has ''no trouble whatsoever'' passing as female.* In the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'', heroine Jame is an ActionGirl ''par excellence'' and all around harbinger of chaos [[spoiler: being a nascent avatar of destruction will do that for you]], and needless to say, when she's forced to try and become a proper Highborn lady in the third book (translation: elaborate dresses, lots of sewing, power wielded primarily through political intrigue, and very little in the way of physical activity), hilarity ensues. And by hilarity, we mean "rampant anarchy".* Several decidedly unfunny examples happen with [[BrawnHilda Brienne of Tarth]] in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. She is so huge and ugly that attempts to dress her in a feminine way make her look worse than she does in armour, and while it provides some amusement for other characters, it only increases her feelings of being a freak unloved by all. Arya Stark has some examples as well, like tearing new dresses and being terrible at needlework.* Shows up in the case of Shallan Davar of ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''. She tries to be traditionally feminine to win over Adolin, but fails epically, breaking into the middle of one of his tales of derring-do to ask how he can poop in Shardplate. Luckily, Adolin finds her being herself even more attractive, and they are quite thoroughly in love by the end of the book.[[/folder]][[folder: Live Action TV ]]* In ''Series/DegrassiJuniorHigh'' tomboy LD tries to be more feminine, including getting a makeover from her best friend Lucy. It fails and the makeup makes her look like a clown.* Sam from ''Series/ICarly'' did this to get a guy's attention, with Carly giving her help to embrace her "inner daffodil". She ends up fighting with another girl by the end of the episode. [[spoiler: As it turns out, the guy was impressed and said he didn't want to date [[IronicEcho "some daffodil."]] ]]* Happens on ''Series/NaturallySadie'' when Sadie gets upset after being called 'son' and tries to become a girly girl. Her mother is away so she gets advice from Hal (of all people). By the end of the episode, she has managed to find a balance between tomboy and girly girl.* In ''{{Series/Miranda}}'', large-boned Miranda attempts to glam herself up with hilarious results. First she's oblivious to the fact that the only shop stocking glamorous clothing in her size is actually crossdressers' shop. Then she's flattered to get hit on by a genuinely nice guy who clearly (to everyone except Miranda) thinks she's in drag. Her bubble is finally burst by her best friend's astonished:--> Miranda! Why are you dressed as a transvestite?!?* [[{{Meganekko}} Ami]] from ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'' tried make up when having a slumber party with Usagi and Naru, however, due her status as the CuteBookworm of the show, she didn't have much experience, so she naturally over did. Note that her failure wasn't fueled by being a {{Tomboy}} as she is a normally feminine girl, but it was rather a result of her [[{{Adorkable}} dorkiness]] and preference toward intellectual activities (And the fact she didn't have any friends until she met Usagi).[[/folder]][[folder: Video Games ]]* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', Chie has this problem. She's obsessed with martial arts films, isn't scared to pick a fight when someone is in trouble and eats almost nothing but steak. She likes being who she is but doesn't like that the other sex treats her more like one of the guys instead of a girl. Her attempts to be more feminine usually don't end well, such as her cooking. [[spoiler:You can say that her fear of bugs is cute, however. This is actually the right choice to move the social link in a positive direction.]]* Makoto Kikuchi from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'' was raised like a boy and has a lot of female fans who admire her [[{{Bifauxnen}} looks]], but what she really wants is to be more feminine and get more attention from boys. Unfortunately, her attempts to be more girly rarely ever succeed.* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'''s Citadel DLC, Female Shepard and Miranda Lawson, the former a marine for her entire adult life and the latter a reformed former member of a terrorist organization, both realize just how weird their lives are and attempt to act more normal by talking about traditionally feminine things. They can't even complete a single sentence.[[/folder]][[folder: Web Comics ]]* From ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': Kat, the more tomboyish of the protagonists, puts on makeup for the first time in order to impress Alistair, a NewTransferStudent at her school. She fails horribly, and Annie's there to assure her that she's lovely just the way she is.* Falco from ''Webcomic/NamirDeiter'' tries to act more feminine for a while, when she's worried Cedric will go back to Tipper.* Sal Walters in ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' attempts a femininity makeover with the intention to get her old boyfriend back, and fails miserably. When she tries again later on, she deliberately skips the lipstick.[[/folder]][[folder: Web Original ]]* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick tried to invoke {{kawaiiko}} for a while, but could never pull it off. Now she's settled for being a ladette [[PsychopathicManchild Psychopathic Womanchild]]. Her friend Nella was given a visit by the makeover fairy. She resisted and the fairy ended up putting a bag over Nella's face because there was nothing she could do for her.[[/folder]][[folder: Western Animation ]]* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'': Tigress, in "The Princess and The Po" tries to pose as the princess to protect the actual princess from the bad guy. She tries to do the Princess Ceremonial Dancing Song. She can't sing, and she can't do graceful ladylike (although the real princess is not much better).* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': Francine tries to be feminine for one day, picture day, where she goes to school in a dress and doesn't play kickball during recess so she'll be presentable for her photo. But she ends up playing anyway, and being scruffy in the picture.* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan'' has Terk wanting to be feminine to attract another gorilla. She realizes by the end that it's completely unnecessary.* The ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' episode "Helga's Makeover". She does this to attend Rhonda's sleepover but reverts to her old self after refusing an avocado cream mask.* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Korra decides to try out that "powdering your nose" thing she's heard about. The ensuing cloud of dust leaves her coughing.** In the [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender first series]], Toph and Katara's minisode in "Tales of Ba-Sing Se", Katara takes Toph to a spa, and Toph is so stand-offish about getting dolled up they need to get a hulking spa worker to hold her down, [[BlownAcrossTheRoom and then they touch her feet]]...** Azula makes an attempt at being a typical teenage girl during the BeachEpisode, complete with coaching from resident GirlyGirl Ty Lee, only for her efforts to literally crash and burn at the end.* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' with both girls. [[TheLadette Spinelli]] is entered against her will into a BeautyPageant and is initially awkward with the femininity - but ends up as one of the finalists. Similarly bookworm Gretchen gets convinced into going to the beauty salon with Ashley A and enjoys it.* Also subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders''. Lor is given a makeover by two Valley Girls when they hear a popular guy likes her. She shows up wearing a skirt and a girlier hairstyle. Though the reactions of her friends (and the guy in question) is a straighter example. Lor backs out when she hears she's supposed to get made over even more - including plastic surgery.* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' had tough tomboy, Shriek, trying to make herself "a real woman" to get Dog's attention. After she is finally successful at looking and sounding more feminine, it backfires when everybody, except Dog, begins hitting on her.[[/folder]]----

The Chinkapin Oak (Quercus muhlenbergii) is an oak in the white oak group (Quercus sect. Quercus). It is native to eastern North America, from Vermont and southern Ontario west to Iowa, south to northwest Florida and eastern Texas, with disjunct populations in west Texas and southeast New Mexico, and eastern Mexico from Coahuila south to Hidalgo. It is occasionally seen outside its native range with examples at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Raleigh, North Carolina and Lake Worth, Florida.
It is a deciduous tree reaching 30 m tall (exceptionally up to 50 m), with a rounded crown and thin, scaly or flaky bark on the trunk. The name comes from the resemblance of the leaves to those of a chestnut or chinkapin, although they also greatly resemble the chestnut oak or swamp chestnut oak; coarsely toothed, 5-15 cm long and 4-8 cm broad. The acorns are 1.5-2 cm long, and mature in about 6 months after pollination.
The scientific name honors Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg (1753–1815), a Lutheran pastor and amateur botanist in Pennsylvania. Because the name may be spelled "Mühlenberg" with an umlaut over the "u", the scientific name is commonly spelled muehlenbergii. The Flora of North America, however, uses the spelling muhlenbergii.
Chinkapin oak is closely related to the smaller but generally similar dwarf chinkapin oak (Quercus prinoides). Besides the differences in size, the two species can be distinguished by their typical habitat: chinkapin oak is typically found on calcareous soils and rocky slopes while dwarf chinkapin oak is more likely to be found on sandy soils. Although these two oaks are generally regarded as separate species, they are sometimes considered to belong to the same species. Interestingly, when the two are considered to be conspecific, the larger chinkapin oak is often identified as a variety of dwarf chinkapin oak (as Quercus prinoides var. acuminata) because the later was described first.
Chinkapin oak is also sometimes confused with the related chestnut oak. However, unlike the pointed teeth on the leaves of the chinkapin oak, the chestnut oak generally has rounded teeth. Unfortunately, this distinction is often not readily apparent. A more reliable means of distinguishing the two is by the bark. Chinkapin oak has a gray, flaky bark very similar to white oak but with a more yellow-brown cast to it, hence the occasional name yellow oak. Chestnut oak has dark, solid, deeply ridged bark that is very different. The chinkapin oak also has smaller acorns than the chestnut or swamp chestnut oaks, which have some of the largest.
The Chinkapin Oak is especially known for its sweet acorns. Indeed, the nuts contained inside of the thin shell are among the sweetest of any oak; they taste excellent even when eatern raw. These acorns provide an excellent source of food for both wildlife and people. Like the other members of the white oak family, the wood of the Chinkapin oak is a durable hardwood prized for many types of construction.

A SEA of photons has been coaxed into acting as one for the first time. The feat, proposed by Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose in 1925, could help shrink the size of electronic devices.
Close to absolute zero, some atoms and molecules have been made to form a quantum material called a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). In this material, the particles are all in their lowest possible energy state and behave as a single entity.
However, despite Einstein and Bose's prediction, cajoling photons to drop into their lowest energy state and form a BEC has proved difficult. This is because the unruly particles of light become absorbed by the surrounding material when cooled, rather than shedding their energy.
Now Martin Weitz of the University of Bonn in Germany and colleagues have managed to lower photons' energies without losing them. "This is the main trick of the experiment," Weitz says. And they did it at room temperature.
First, the team placed two concave mirrors 1 micrometre apart, and filled the lens-shaped cavity between them with a red liquid dye. They then fired a green laser at the cavity. The dye absorbed photons from the laser and re-emitted them at lower-energy yellow wavelengths, which the mirrors focused at the centre of the cavity. While some photons were indeed absorbed by the mirrors, the large number present in the laser more than made up for this.
When the low-energy photons at the centre of the cavity reached a density of about a trillion photons per cubic centimetre, they began to act as a single photon, shifting in appearance from a blurry glow to a bright point (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature09567). "All the photons marched in lockstep," Weitz says.
Zoran Hadzibabic of the University of Cambridge says the result completes the theoretical journey that Einstein and Bose started 85 years ago. "With this work, the circle is closed," he says.
Weitz says the work could help further shrink electronic devices. Ultraviolet light has a short wavelength, making it an ideal tool to burn small patterns onto computer chips. But UV lasers are difficult to make. If UV photons can be cooled in the same way that the optical photons in this study were, a photon BEC could serve as a new high-energy UV photon source, Weitz says.

Have you heard people discuss BCAAs and wondered what on earth they are talking about? Well, firstly BCAAs is short for Branched-Chain Amino Acids and they are made up of the essential amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. We call them essential amino acids (EAAs) because the body can't produce these acids on their own and this is why BCAA supplementation is so popular. Countless scientific studies have backed BCAA's and they can be an integral part of your supplement regime if used correctly.
What Can BCAAs Do For You?
There are many benefits to taking BCAAs and even those who don't religiously workout still have a lot to gain from BCAA supplementation.
The main benefits are as follows;
- A trigger for Protein synthesis
- An increase in your glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity
- Reduce muscle soreness
- Increased energy levels
- Minimised muscle Loss
- Increased fat loss
- Increase longevity
The multiple benefits of BCAAs means that they are a good supplement addition for those who want to build muscle, tone up or drop fat. You will notice on site that we offer instantised BCAAs in a ratio of 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and 8:1:1 but what does this mean for you?
What Is The Difference In BCAA Ratios?
When looking at the ratios of BCAAs,the first number represents the amount of Leucine to Isoleucine and Valine. So 2:1:1 has twice the amount of Leucine to Isoleucine and Valine. The ratio of Leucine is important as research has shown that Leucine is the magic ingredient when it comes to creating that lean look. However, the Leucine must be taken in conjunction with other BCAAs to have any effect. The 2:1:1 ratio has been show to be the minimum ratio needed to feel the benefits of BCAA supplementation and the 8:1:1 ratio ensures that you have a high dose of that Magic Leucine. If you train with high intensity and want maximum results from each session, we recommend the 8:1:1 ratio.
What Is The Best Time To Take BCAAs?
BCAAs can be taken any time of day and even work to reduce muscle loss when taken during the times that you are not exercises or are off training due to illness.
Also, due to the positive impact on energy levels and endurance, taking BCAAs during your workout is an ideal time; You will workout for longer and your body will get a kick start in protein synthesis ready to optimise the gains from your post workout shake. Supplementing with BCCAs intra workout, should also reduce muscle soreness after your session which means less or no DOMS!
The Key Points to BCAAs
BCAAs help your body burn fuel in a more efficient way which improves endurance.
BCAAs cause a reduction in DOMS meaning you can train more frequently and get better results.
BCAAs will help your body utilise protein which means greater strength gains.
The higher the Leucine ratio the more fat burning power your BCAAs have.
When looking at BCAAS, scientists note that BCAAs "behave as evolutionary conserved modulators of lifespan,"This means that they should help you live longer if you manage to get enough of them in your system. They also have been found to improve cognition because of the effect they have on the neurotransmitters, improving synthesis of glutamate and GABA and inhibiting serotonin.

Cooking and Baking
No-Knead Whole Wheat Bread
i know this has been done on many blogs before, but i ate some of it this morning and it was worth getting up at 5:30 to bake and rest it before going to work. wanted to reiterate that it CAN be done, DELICIOUSLY, even if Jim Lahey does not really recommend it (or Bittman's 4/8 hour version).
i substitued 1/2 c. whole wheat and 1/2 c. rye for 1 c. of white flour, added a pinch more salt, and since i didn't have instant yeast, stirred scant 1/2 t. active dry into 100*F water and did the usual yeast thing.
it turned out with the characteristic crisp crust, large holes, and soft interior, though i think the crust was chewier than normal.
next time i want to add more whole wheat, but keep the rye. rye is good stuff.

A tonne of ore usually contains about 5 grams of gold, but chemical methods of extraction leave about 0.3 grams in the waste, so a mine processing 100 000 tonnes of ore a month will lose 30 kilograms of gold - worth about $380 000.
KX Technology's Goldstream analyser uses X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to measure gold in waste as it leaves the plant. Accurate results can be obtained within 30 minutes and the chemistry of the separation process can be adjusted continually to extract the maximum amount of gold.
The traditional method of monitoring gold in waste was by a fire assay. But when the results arrived - 24 hours later - they were not very accurate. So the only indication of the ...

Khartoum — The Minister of Oil, Dr. Lual Achwel Deng, has unveiled a report his ministry would submitted to the Council of Ministers next March about the total and future vision for the oil sector.
In a press conference he held at the premises of the Sudapet Company Ltd. Monday, Dr. Deng said that the Production of one million oil barrels per day is not impossible, referring to his ministry's efforts to increase the oil production at all squares.
He appreciated the role of Sudapet, affirming issuance of a decision on re-arrangement of the company by including the private sector in its board of directors which consists of eight members, four represents the government, three from the private sector including the chief of the board of directors and one member representing Sudapet, explaining that this partnership will reactivate the work in the company.
Sudapet Director, Salah Wahbi, expected that the company in its new structure to begin strongly, pointing out that the partnership emerged from the state's concern with the private sector and its role in boosting the national economy.
Member of the Board of Director', Anees Hajjar, said that membership of the private sector in the board of directors is useful for the company and the share-holders and will be for the interest of the oil sector.
SUNA adds that Sudapet Company is considered the leading national company in the fields of oil and gas and represents the technical and commercial arm of the Oil Ministry.
Sudapet aims to explore and preserve the oil resources in Sudan and to build highly-qualified Sudanese manpower.

You may have Rhox assign its combat damage as though it weren't blocked.
: Regenerate Rhox. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, it isn't. Instead tap it, remove all damage from it, and remove it from combat.)
Exalted (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
When Rhox Bodyguard enters the battlefield, you gain 3 life.
Lifelink (Damage dealt by this creature also causes you to gain that much life.)
If you would gain life, you gain twice that much life instead.
When Rhox Meditant enters the battlefield, if you control a green permanent, draw a card.

Keeping a PC running at its peak performance can seem a time-consuming and complicated process. There are endless junk files to clean up, services to be tweaked, startup programs to eliminate, and hundreds of Windows settings to optimise: it's hard to know where to begin. Unless, that is, you get a little expert help from SpeedUpMyPC 2014.
Launch the program, click Start Scan, and it'll crawl over your PC and its settings, looking for speed-related problems and recommending potential fixes. We tried SpeedUpMyPC 2014 on a test PC and found it delivered all kinds of advice, from the obvious (clear the Recycle Bin, delete temporary files), to the intelligent (disable 6 unnecessary startup processes and 8 surplus services), and the seriously geeky (speed up your browsing by increasing your DNS Cache Size).
You don't have to worry about the technicalities, though: in fact these low-level details aren't displayed unless you go looking for them. All you need to do is click the Speed Up Now button, and SpeedUpMyPC 2014 will automatically apply all its selected optimisations in just a few moments.
And as a bonus, you'll probably also find the program has enabled three new speedup tools of its own. "Software quick-starter" helps speed up the launch of applications via the Start menu; "Proactive thumbnail generator" improves Explorer navigation speeds by generating the thumbnails you'll need in advance; and "CPU manager" monitors the PC, and makes sure that runaway programs aren't allowed to hog all your processor time.
You can also schedule a scan, so you can keep your PC clutter-free, perhaps once-a-week, at the end of every week.
If you're a Windows expert then you may occasionally be concerned about the lack of control here. There's no way to see exactly what CPU manager is doing, for instance. And SpeedUpMyPC 2014 might tell you it wants to disable unnecessary startup programs, or turn off particular services, but nowhere does it say exactly what's going to be dumped.
However, if you just want a quick and easy way to speed up your PC, then SpeedUpMyPC 2014 really delivers, giving you plenty of advanced tweaking power with the absolute minimum of hassle.
SpeedUpMyPC 2014 is a major upgrade, with these improvements:
- Drastically augmented SpeedUpMyPC's stability and functionality;
- A new, fresh and intuitive design that enhances user experience;
- Striking and sleeker transitions that will make the software much easier to use
- New Live Speed Tool added! There are now five speed tools looking after system resources
- More visibility as to how SpeedUpMyPC can optimize PC performance
- The introduction of a scorecard to show how over time, SpeedUpMyPC is actively taking careof your PC
SpeedUpMyPC 2014 will quickly help even the most inexperienced Windows user to optimise their systems' performance and get the most from their PC

I'm usually a man of the contemporary. I enjoy new hardware and what it can do with the new software (especially games).
Yet sometimes I feel like I miss the old times and install some super old game from my Steam library. And I don't know about you, but I find myself still enjoying those old games just as much as I did some 10-15 years ago.
I play Stronghold Crusader (an old medieval RTS) on a somewhat regular basis. Every now and then, me and an old friend of mine decide to have a LAN party playing this 2002 game.
I recently downloaded StarCraft: Brood War from my BNet account. To my surprise I totally nailed the bots but what nailed me was the huge wave of nostalgia when everybody was playing it at Internet Cafés and everybody was talking about it.
And because you'll say I only play RTS, I also recently played Call of Duty. Yes, the first one from the franchise that now has nothing in common with it except the name. The one I wasn't even able to run back then because my PC was trash. Tons of fun.
I wonder if any of you still play some old titles, be it because of nostalgia or because you still actually enjoy them despite their technical flaws. Do you?

Barrow metal detectorist stunned by Bronze Age 'find of a lifetime'
Last updated at 08:48, Tuesday, 13 May 2014
A LOCAL metal detectorist stumbled upon a Bronze Age "find of a lifetime" that could re-write the history of Furness.
Self-employed electrician John Hocknell, of Walney, was scouring a field in Rampside with his metal detector last December when he came across an assortment of Bronze Age weapons and tools.
The items included the remains of axes, knives, gauges and other items.
An inquest at Barrow Town Hall yesterday ruled that Mr Hocknell's find be classed as treasure – and has been named The Rampside Hoard.
The find is in the care of the British Museum – but will eventually be transferred to The Dock Museum in North Road.
Mr Hocknell, 42, said: "It looked pretty insignificant; just lumps of bronze covered in clay at first but now I know it's the find of a lifetime. I have been told it could re-write the history of Low Furness."
A representative from the British Museum told Mr Hocknell that, while the hoard was relatively common in the UK, no other similar finds had been made in the Furness area.
The hoard could have been buried as an offering to the gods, or be the attempts of a metalworker to hide valuable metal tools by burying them.
Mr Hocknell says he only took up metal detecting two years ago after family and work pressure left him with little time to enjoy his favourite hobby of fishing.
He is now a member of local metal detecting club the Furness Finders, which has around 25 members.
He said: "I know people who have never found anything Bronze Age so it is a tremendous feeling.
"I have only ever found rubbish before really."
Mr Hocknell was walking in the field when he came across an axe head.
According to the Portable Antiquities Scheme, which has examined the findings, the axe head is: "Cast copper alloy palstave dating from the Middle Bronze Age, that is c. 1400-1300BC."
The rest of the find was classified as Late-Middle Bronze Age
The axe is classed as a single find, but the hoard was discovered a short distance away.
Mr Hocknell added: "I'm not very up on the era but the academics were getting very excited. Some of the items still have traces of wood and they want to find out what kind of timber was used."
According to the 1996 Treasure Act, half of the monetary value of the find will go to Mr Hocknell and the rest will go to the landowner, a local farmer.
The value is expected to be several hundred pounds.

Nuclear aerosols formed during nuclear reactor accidents or explosions evolve via natural transport processes as well as under the influence of engineered safety features. These aerosols can be hazardous and may pose risk to the public if released into the environment. Computations of their evolution, movement, and distribution involve the study of various processes such as coagulation, deposition, condensation, evaporation, etc., and are influenced by factors such as particle shape, charge, radioactivity, and spatial inhomogeneity. These many processes and factors make the numerical study of nuclear aerosol evolution computationally very complicated. The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) technique was developed to elucidate the role of various phenomena that influence the evolution of nuclear aerosols. This will allow, then, for an assessment of the limitations of other methods used at present. Coagulation, deposition, and source reinforcement processes for a multicomponent, aerosol dynamics problem have been explored. As a simple verification, the DSMC results were compared with analytical results for a single-component aerosol dynamics problem with coagulation and deposition processes. In addition, the DSMC results were compared against those obtained using the sectional method for several multicomponent test problems with the same component densities. It is clear from the present results that the assumption of a single mean density is not appropriate in such problems because of the complicated effect of component densities on the aerosol processes.

Security researchers warn of LinkedIn exploit
July 24, 2007
(continued from previous page)
"Most major vendors, including Microsoft, have strong corporate values and will not pay for vulnerabilities," Forslof said. "So, making that threat to pay me, or I'll harm your customers, is basically like extortion to them."
DeMott, however, said his company has had some success with its business model.
Over the past four months, the company has seen roughly half of potential customers agree to pay the bug bounty fee, and the other half reject the idea outright. And in one case, a company declined to pay the bug fee but then signed up for VDA's consulting services. To date, two companies have purchased the vulnerabilities that VDA discovered and patched them, DeMott said.
But Ullrich described such customers as "paying for protection."
"There are people who pay protection to the mob. It's really a protection racket," Ullrich said. "I can't see it as a legitimate business model."
Other business models
Bug bounty hunters have a variety of means to generate income, security researchers say.
Auction site WabiSabiLabi, where software companies and security vendors bid on such discoveries, emerged on the scene this summer, amid some controversy that the buyers of the vulnerabilities may be malicious attackers.
Since the Switzerland-based site was announced on July 9, approximately 20 vulnerabilities have been posted on the auction, ranging in price from 200 to 2,600 euros ($274 to $3,564), Roberto Preatoni, WSLabis strategic director, said in an e-mail.
"You should take into account that this market just started, therefore we think it's needed to wait at least six months before seeing real values being expressed in it," Preatoni said.
Three vulnerabilities have been sold on the auction site, while six more are currently on the market as their auction time ticks down.
Other compensation methods for bug hunters have included landing lucrative contracts with software vendors to debug their products, and participating in ongoing formal bug reporting programs offered by Tipping Point, iDefense and the Mozilla Foundation.
Back in 2005, Tipping Point launched its program titled the Zero Day Initiative. The program pays money to security researchers for bugs and proof-of-concept code, or working exploits they discover.
Based on the severity of the vulnerabilities and extent to which they are distributed, Tipping Point will pay researchers based on a sliding scale. Forslof noted Tipping Point generally pays more if a researcher has taken the extra effort to develop proof-of-concept code.
"Based on the amount of money (DeMott) wanted for the bug and working exploit, it would have been in line with what we would have offered," Forslof said. "The amount of money he was asking for was not out of line--it's just the way he went about asking for it from LinkedIn."
Once Tipping Point buys bugs and exploits from security researchers, it then validates the information before passing it on to the software vendor for free. Tipping Point then writes filters for its Intrusion Prevention devices based on the information it has validated from the bug hunter.
iDefense, which operates the iDefense Vulnerability Contributor Program (VCP), has a similar concept. The main difference is iDefense, after validating the information and notifying the software vendor for free, uses the information to notify its own client base and build workarounds until the vendor develops a patch.
"The VCP provides researchers with ways to get legally paid for the research they do," Doyle said. He noted the payments can vary from a couple hundred dollars to as much as $10,000.
The Mozilla Foundation, meanwhile, offers a $500 bounty for every serious security bug found in its software.
DeMott said his VDA Labs is not wedded to its business model and may be open to tweaking it.
"If this business model is not panning out the way we had hoped, then we may focus on government or commercial contracts," DeMott said. "I certainly won't turn down a contract."

- having a monopoly product that is defective and riddled with bugs and then charging people for protection after you've released it. Flaws and all. Can you say Microsoft security products?
The fact is, software companies will release half-baked products and shoddy products because they can. All teh economic incentive is built in releasing unfinished product. Someone has to put the incentive back in for them to fix and clean up their products BEFORE they're released.

- The email he sent after releasing the exploit is one of the most incredible displays of chutzpah I have ever seen. Honestely: telling someone that you had to damage their business because they wouldn't pay up, then offering them consulting services is something that wouldn't even have occurred to me. It seems akin trashing their car then offering a deal on bus tokens.
That having been said, offering exploits for a fee seems like a perfectly legitimate transaction to propose. After all, the knowledge of the exploit has value, and the public benefits when there is an incentive to find them so they can be fixed. I'm just not impressed with the methods used in this case.

A good programmer at LinkedIn could find it, patch it, and test it in an hour. Unless that person is making $5000-$10000 per hour, I agree with LinkedIn's decision.

- VDA should be sued for this type of practice...
- This type of practice by VDA definitely looks like extortion. If I find a company like Microsoft or others make crappy software and does not test their programs for bugs I will no buy them anymore. I really don't want the software industry being regulated by extortion schemes which threaten to release dangerous code if the extortionist is not compensated. A company who is treated in this way by VDA has every right to sue VDA in my opinion.

- two ways to see
- I see this from the feeling of extortion but I also see it as someone who is frustrated with the lack of severity companies put on fixing their software. It's funny because most people here would barrage hate comments on a company who took a lax standpoint on fixing bugs in their software. This is almost akin to a bounty hunter going after a criminal and though you don't agree with their practices they certainly accomplished something others did not. If the only thing a software company understands is money and nothing of their own image or reputation then maybe they do deserve that type of business model/behavior to beleaguer them. Though this is certainly a more renegade behavior I am sure the "business model" will have to change into something a little less edgy over time as I am sure the eventual lawsuits will wear them down.

- Electronic Ransom!
- Holding a company hostage for a sum of money.
Forcing them to pay to gain access to the flaws which are inherient in their software.
Threatening to go public if they don't ransom up!
Sad news if you ask me... but the problem lies not so much in their tactics as it does in the fact that it doesn't currently pay very much to divulge security flaws to the manufacturer.
Thus I understand the concept of trying to make that a more profitable solution... but the tactics stink to high heaven.

- extortion!!!
- This is 100% extortion!. Look at the language VDA has used in their emails! There is a limit to amount of testing a software developer/company can do. They do their best and release the product. Big companies can afford to put more resources on testing but still the product will not be 100% bug free!
I am surprised why LinkedIn did not sue VDA! They should! I bet VDA would run for their life if sued!

- Write good software or pay a fine! Excellent!
- They deserve it, selling software full of bugs, make millions then consumers pay for their mistakes, and not just that, have a monopoly control the market, and year after year keep on saying that the next version is going to be good and then come out with another piece of junk.
If you drive over the speed limit you get a ticket, makes sense to fine the sloppy software maker. Why should they get the feed back for free.

- This is the criminal defintion of blackmail
- This business model is the legal definition of blackmail, a form
of extortion:
http://dictionary.law.com/definition2.asp?
selected=75&bold=|||| says:
n. the crime of threatening to reveal embarrassing, disgraceful
or damaging facts (or rumors) about a person to the public,
family, spouse or associates unless paid off to not carry out the
threat. It is one form of extortion (which may include other
threats such as physical harm or damage to property).

http://www.lectlaw.com/def/b105.htm says: BLACKMAIL - A
criminal act of extortion, malicious threatening to do injury to
another to compel him to do an act against his will. Usually
involves the threat to release information, often true, about the
person that will defame his reputation or bring criminal actions
against him.
The criminality lies not in the release of the information - at
least if true - but in the extortionate aspects of the threat to do
In fact, this business model may also violate Federal RICO (anti-

- Why not patent the bugs and the bug fixes?
- For those companies who don't want to pay up, why not patent the bug fixes as well? At least the non-paying companies will now have pay for the royalties of bug fixes. Patent trolls work exactly like that and has been very effective.

This show has now closed
Young Men is a new full-length production from Ballet Boyz, winners of the National Dance Awards for Best Independent Dance Company 2013.
In an intensely moving portrayal of love, friendship, loss and survival, Young Men explores the theme of war and the bonds that develop between the men consumed by it. Drawing inspiration from images of conflict through the ages, the production is a compelling hybrid of dance, theatre and screen performance from the ever-inventive Ballet Boyz and their all male dance company the TALENT.

Fiscal Action Should Protect Poor
By Gene Lucht on October 24, 2012
© Iowa Farmer Today
DES MOINES — David Beckmann is an optimist, but he is concerned about the farm-bill debate.
Beckmann, a preacher and an economist, heads Bread for the World, an organization that works with faith groups as an advocate on hunger issues.
The United States needs to get its fiscal house in order, but it shouldn't do it on the backs of the poor and hungry, he said during the recent World Food Prize summit.
In 2011, Beckmann said tea party Republicans took over their party's caucus in the House and passed two budgets that targeted two-thirds of their cuts at programs affecting the poor.
"I just think that is wrong," he said.
Fast forward to 2012, when House and Senate agriculture committee members passed two different, but similar, versions of a farm bill.
The Senate proposal includes a $4.5 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The House proposal cuts about $16.5 billion over five years.
Beckmann said the Senate bill includes language reforming some food programs and its cuts in SNAP are achievable.
But, he noted the House's larger cuts are unacceptable to the many groups that work to aid the hungry.
Beckmann said many farmers understand programs, which help feed the hungry, also help farmers in the long run.

In this Walk the Talk with The Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta on NDTV 24×7, yoga guru and Padma Vibhushan B K S Iyengar speaks about popularising yoga in the West, how he helped violin maestro Yehudi Menuhin regain his creative energy and why he thinks BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi "may do something good"
Congratulations on your Padma Vibhushan. Although every right-thinking person believes it should have been a Bharat Ratna a long time ago.
I am happy the Indian government has recognised the art of yoga.
But it has been a struggle to get yoga recognised as an art all over the world.
Well, I have been practising for 80 years. It is finally recognition for all the hard work.
Sir, you are 96 years young. I don't think I should request God to let me live till 96, but whatever age I live, if I could be as fit as you, I would be very happy.
I always tell people: live happily and die majestically.
What do you mean by 'die majestically'?
It means a happy death.
Don't spend the last 10 years worrying about death?
That is correct. No sorrow, no anxiety, no distress. Let me leave this Earth with hope.
Anxiety is now the biggest lifestyle disease of our times — not diabetes, cholesterol or blood pressure.
Yes, it is because of the stress factor. There are three remedies — work, word and wisdom. 'Work' means to keep oneself fit, 'word' is to be sincere and honest in your words and 'wisdom' is to surrender to God.
You don't promote the idea of renunciation, do you?
In life, we have a lot of responsibilities. It is not meant for renunciation. We live in this society and it is our bounden duty to give back to our society. Renunciation comes to me when I am 96.
But you are not renouncing even now. You are very driven even now.
Renunciation means giving up the enjoyment of worldly happiness. But I am full of inner happiness.
I believe you sleep only three hours a day, but you don't yawn. I wake up yawning and I spend the rest of the day yawning.
I don't yawn. I cannot sleep even if someone is snoring. I am alert even in my sleep. If I don't get sleep, I …continued »

Gambia Bird has become west Africa's newest flag carrier after beginning scheduled services on 22 October with an Airbus A319 wet leased from partner Germania.
The 2011-vintage aircraft (MSN 4663, registration D-ASTA) will be deployed on two services during its first day of operations.
After initially operating a round-trip from the Gambian capital Banjul to the Senegalese capital Dakar, it will then fly on a round-trip connecting service from Banjul to Accra, Ghana via Monrovia, Liberia.
Chief commercial officer Karsten Balke says the company is not branding itself as a low-cost carrier, despite plans by Stelios Haji-Ioannou's FastJet to enter west Africa in 2013.
"We are not offering a low-cost airline," he says in a statement. "Our aim is to build a reputation for quality and reliability via our scheduled and punctual services with a choice of affordable ticket options."
Balke adds that Gambia Bird aims to capitalise on the "phenomenal" growth predicted for west Africa over the coming years.
"Whilst we acknowledge there are significant challenges within the region's infrastructure to overcome, it is these very challenges that provide the springboard for a successful airline," he says.
The flag carrier intends to launch additional services to Freetown in Sierra Leone, Conakry in Guinea, London and Barcelona. It will take delivery of a second A319 in December.
Chief executive and co-founder Thomas Wazinski also serves as director of Germania Express and Germania Technik Brandenburg GmbH.
Alongside its links with the Germania Group, Gambia Bird has signed a long-term power-by-the-hour contract with aircraft spares support provider A J Walter Aviation.

Google's attraction discovery app Field Trip launches on iOS hours before SXSW
Mar 08, 2013 6:45 am
Skift Take
If this is wrestling match between Fieldn Trip and Spindle at SXSW, Google's discovery app has the benefit of sourcing its information from publications and Google Offers rather than just social media updates.
Google's location-based Field Trip application has just made its way to the iTunes App Store today, after previously having been Android-only. The app, which works a little bit like Google Now, runs in the background on your phone then automatically shows you information about nearby businesses, including places to shop, dine, and be entertained.
Not entirely coincidentally, a location-discovery app from a startup called Spindle, also rolled out an update today which does something very similar. Both apps are likely competing to get in the hands of SXSW attendees at the forthcoming Austin, Texas-based event where thousands of people converge. It's a place which has historically served as a beta testing ground for new services focused on local and social.

The Wall Street Journal reports:
Ruth Madoff, the wife of Bernard Madoff, withdrew $15.5 million from a Madoff-related brokerage firm in the weeks before Mr. Madoff's arrest, according to the Massachusetts Secretary of State.
A complaint filed Wednesday by Secretary William Galvin's office said Ruth Madoff withdrew $5.5 million on Nov. 25 and $10 million on Dec. 10, according to documents from Cohmad Securities, which was co-owned by Mr. Madoff and which the Massachusetts office is investigating. Mr. Madoff was arrested Dec. 11 on allegations of perpetrating a massive Ponzi scheme.
Mrs. Madoff's attorney, Ira Sorkin, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I'm a song nerd. When I hear a song, I'm listening intently to lyrics, lyrical content, lyrical meaning, chord construction, phrasing, and production.
During 2008 I heard some excellent music. There were times that I listened to something that made me laugh out loud, or cry or feel something deep in my soul… and I wanted to share some of those moments with you.
These are in no particular order and are from no particular genre. Some Christian Artists made the list and some didn't. Some famous folks, some not so famous. There should be an honorable mention section but that would take me weeks to write… and to all of my friends that make music, you know I love you!
1) "Stand Up" – Flobots
I heard the Flobots on a late night show in the spring of 2008 and was instantly enamored with their energy, sound and instrumentation. A viola, trumpet, drum kit, slammin' bass, rock guitar and 2 rappers?? Who even THOUGHT of that?? I grew up listening to bluegrass and folk, rock, and rap, so I guess they covered all of my bases (basses?).
We shall not be moved, except by a child with no socks and shoes,
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you.
Lyric at 1:33.
2) "Mayday!! – Flobots
I actually loved the entire Flobots album, and the poetry in this song grabbed me too. You can find the song Mayday!! on Youtube, but this excellent cover by ShamrockShakespeare really highlights the lyrics.
When I wanna shut out this world
Wanna rip up this page
Wanna pour out this heart
Wanna get up on this stage
And my lips become percussion
And my fists become the rage
And I pound on this table
Til it gives me something to say
Then I think about things that Ive seen
Right in front of me
That I don't wanna believe
Gimme one of these mikes
Lemme let 'em know
The way that it is is not how it's gonna be
Not if we don't let 'em get ahead of us
The present tensions no threat
It's just a fence across the path
That were already ready to walk
Rock solid footsteps
Let 'em put up obstacles
And prove that it isn't possible
We don't give 'em any weight
True liberty and freedom's at stake
Peace will never become passé
Live my life until my last day
Lyric at 1:47
3) Sarah Bareilles – Many The Miles
My brother Jeff and I met for coffee one morning and he handed me his iPhone, headphone attached, and said "man, you have GOT to listen to this song". I loved this live acoustic version.
I've been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not but something has got to got to give, cause I can't keep waiting to live!"
Lyric 3:15
4) Live, Love, Lose – Korby Lenker
I connected with Korby a few months ago. I have fallen in love with the way he writes songs and stories. I saw him live recently and I would highly recommend you do the same. This song was recorded in Loretta Lynn's Bathroom, and there's a great story behind that (like there wouldn't be).
The bridge in this song makes me smile EVERY time I hear it, and right after the bridge he rips a great guitar solo. One of the reasons I like the solo so much is that you can't see his fingers… His facial expressions add a little spice to the song.
If you held me up to the light, you could probably see my heart
Just like those fish you can buy from the pet store
But you don't work there anymore.
Lyric: 1:03
5) The Prodigal – Brad Reynolds
My friend Brad Reynolds wrote a song recently and the song deals with God's forgiveness and healing.
As I come to the place where the living water
Flows from the father to the sons and daughters
Breathing new life to the broken and alone.
Lyric 1:28
6) I Am "The Quiet Entertainer"
Here are some lyrics that grabbed me by an artist that doesn't even speak at his shows. Why should anything be normal for a guy named "The Quiet Entertainer". I met Q.E. at a show a few months ago where he was opening for my friends The KnapsackHeroes. Describing a Quiet Entertainer show is challenging… If you took The Blue Man Group, taught them how to scratch records and mix beats, introduced them to European rave music, combined them into one person and gave them the heart of a servant, you may come close. The lyrics below very eloquently describe what The Quiet Entertainer does at a show. They were written and performed by Nashville Rapper James Fate, and Quiet does all the musical background. My whole family walks around the house saying "I… Am… The Quiet Entertainer… I… Am… The Quiet Entertainer…
I included "I Am" in the music player below, but to get a sense for a live performance, check out this video.
I met him at café coco on Elliston and Louise
Came to show love to some of my MC's
But on the ones and two's he's a stranger to my eye
Movin' to the music and flailin' his hands high
Motioning his fingers to get the crowd to reply
But he wouldn't make a sound and I didn't know why
Feeling the beats beat, sweat beadin' down his face
The melody and rhythm met in a sweet embrace
Poetry in motion people starving for a taste
Of Musical Satisfaction they came to the right place
Bass resonating drums come at a fast pace
Breathin' heavy like he finished some hundred yard dash race
Ace on the plates
Face in the crates
Hands on the wheels of steel never putting on the breaks
Face to face, asked him why he never speak
He just pound his fist on the SP and let it repeat Like
"I AM THE Quiet Entertainer"
7) A Little Too Late – Jordan Burris
I met Jordan at the French Quarter Cafe a couple of years ago. I couldn't shake the imagery of a song he performed, that talks about having a conversation with Jesus, after you die and Him telling you 'well, it's too late for you.' My friend Burt always said "you never hear the best music on the radio, and Jordan embodies that statement!
(Lyric :30)
You knew I'd be comin' back one day.
Still you walked in your sinful ways.
The one who died to set you free
It's a little too late to talk to me now
A little late to talk to me.
8 ) Choices – Sean Smith (Sean Smith and Brad Reynolds wrote this one).
Sean has built a great career as a Christian singer/songwriter/performer. I had the wonderful opportunity to hear him perform live in my living room a few years ago. His new song "Choices" hit me deep in my soul, and I loved the first line.
(Lyric :11)
It's hard to believe and even harder to see
Somewhere today's gonna be somebody's last day
So do your best to make a difference with your allotted time
Cause we're all standing in the checkout line.
9) "Bored" and "There Has Got to be More" – Korby Lenker
I mentioned earlier that Korby's music resonates loudly with me. The lyrics in these two songs are killer and hit me hard, because when I get down about something, these are some of the thoughts that run through my head.
(Lyric 2:14)
Maybe it just doesn't matter
Life's a game of Chutes and Ladders
And the best that you can hope for
Is to roll the dice and not die poor.
There Has Got to be More:
(Lyric 2:25)
Maybe I'm scared
Maybe I'm lazy,
Maybe I'm waiting for something to save me.
10) Home – The Anna Ross Project
My brother plays bass for this uber-talented Nashville based folk-rock band. Anna writes her own songs, and wrote "Home" some time ago. There is a line about her grandmother going to heaven, and the lyrical turn always gets me. I love hearing this song live.
(Lyric: 2:34)
A Kiss on your lips, one summer day
Then the Lord, He took you away.
Home Sweet Home.
