Life Path 5 suggests that you own developed intellectual abilities, attitudes and skills that can make this world a better place. The key word for your life path is freedom. In order to make this freedom for yourself you are naturally versatile, adventurous and progressive thinker. You belong to those people who are always trying to find answers to the many questions that life poses. Form that celebrates life path 5 is constant change and improvement. You want to be totally unrestrained, because this is the number that is most associated with the productivity that comes from freedom.
Belong to a very benevolent people, because this number marks the way of life focused on freedom and mercy. Your love of freedom extends to humanity, and you care for others, their freedom and prosperity. Famous person born under the life path 5, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was banned slavery in the U.S. As a very thoughtful type, your potential can be found in government, law, and other positions that having similarity with legislative authority.
You're a good talker and know how motivate people. That's probably your strongest and most valuable trait. Because of this skill and ingenuity, you're born trader. This ability to sell and motivate extends to any type of product, ideas and concepts that you accept.
Avoid routine and boring jobs, and you are not good at carrying out everyday tasks that must be completed on time. Generally speaking, people born under the life path 5 have relaxed attitude, live for today and do not care much for the future. It is important to find a job that will engage complex thought instead of routine tasks, and mechanical performance of obligations. You are best in work with people, but it is very important that you have the opportunity to present and say what you think.
Adventurous spirit dominates your life. It can manifest itself in the mental or physical level, but in both cases seek to explore new possibilities. You are one of those people who are cosmopolitan-minded and love to travel. Conservative approach is simply not in your nature, you tend to risk.
In love, you do not like to be bound and constrained. This does not necessarily mean that you are prone to infidelity and promiscuity, but you need a partner who will understand your nature. It is important to make contact with people with similar attitudes, and avoid those that are too serious and demanding.
Negative is that although you are multi-talented, you can suffer from a lack of precise orientation, as well as confusion about your ambitions. Restless, dissatisfied and impulsive, you can often change jobs without being finished. The downside of the life path 5 also may be manifested in tasks and decisions related to the home and business. Excessive desire for sensation and adventure can result in selfishness and insensitivity to the feelings of those around you.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is among the healthiest, most versatile dietary oils in the world. An excellent cooking oil with its natural coconut flavor and aroma, we think it is simply the best tasting, most aromatic coconut oil on the planet.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a stable, healthy saturated fat that is naturally free from trans-fatty acids. It contains medium-chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, which have a shorter chain length than most animal derived long-chain saturated fatty acids. Consumption of coconut oil at recommended levels, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, helps maintain already healthy levels of cholesterol.
Unlike refined coconut oils, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized. It is produced using the same methods farmers have used for centuries. Meat from only the freshest, organically grown coconuts is shredded and cold-pressed to create coconut milk, and then fermented to extract the oil.
Suggested Use
May safely consume between 1-4 tablespoons per day. Use in cooking, frying, baking or in smoothies. Can be used in place of other oils including butter.
Other Ingredients
100% organic expeller pressed Philippine coconut oil
Note: If stored below 76°F oil will solidify.
If exposed to temperatures above 76°F oil will liquify.
Does not require refrigeration.

Many companies do NOT use Bisphenol A-free plastic containers when store coconut oil and that pose a problem with leaching these kind of chemicals because they are fat soluble. 'Garden of Life' offers his virgin coconut oil in a glass container on acceptable price. The only problem is the weight of the item for international customers.
I have been buying this for years. I have never seen this so bad before...The jar I received last week, upon taking out one scoop I saw what looked like tainted product, sort of contaminated looking. So I scooped out a couple spoonfuls off top of product, and found two sections of discolored areas, dirty looking in nature, sort of like a pnch of motor oil mixed in and as I scooped further, a sort of crazing pattern emerged in the lower portions. I have seen other discoloration of this product before but not this dark and in huge areas. Anyway iherb wanted photos, so I proceeded to burn up an hour of my time trying to photograph white stuff... looking into the jar, and was not that successful. Then I decided I would try to slow melt the bad portions to see what would emerge, and what I found was that there was two larger chunks of product with a higher melting point (they refused to melt at the same temperature as the white oil). So I can only conclude that the discoloration is actually, a filler oil of some kind. I still like the taste of this product, but purity is now in question. I will have to use this big jar now (as I cannot prove my claim to iherb without a clear photo) as body oil and I don't feel like eating it. If you find your product discolored know that iherb will want proof in a photo and its pretty hard to photograph white stuff inside a jar. So I would suggest you go with a different brand just incase.

It has the richest coconut smell among various coconut oils I've used. Good for adding in food. Rubbing a tiny amount on my hair is enough to moistturize and de-frizz.

그냥 먹는건 쉬운거 아니지만 맛있긴해요. 얼굴에 바르고 먹고 사용도가 좋네요.비타민 e 오일 섞어서 속눈썹 영양제로도 쓴다는데 효과있나 만들어봐야겠어요.일단 눈 부위에 발라도 눈에 오일클린징같이 막이 생기는 느낌없이 깔끔해요.

I loved this product, it has a wonderful smell of coconut. I use on skin, hair and food, is perfect .
Not much fragrance and extremely greasy
Posted by AdenFox on Aug 18, 2015
I have tried several brands of coconut oil. This is not as easy to digest and it has a very greasy texture. Not to mention it does not has a nice fragrance to it and it is impossible to use it for baking as it leaves grease everywhere when the cake was baked. My cake just does not rise when I bake with this. I am switching back to Nutiva. It's the best oil I had ever tasted and used.
Share the Best Spot with Artisana Coconut Oil
Posted by RubiesHealth on Jun 16, 2015
This product is as good as Artisana Cold-pressed Organic coconut oil. I buy whichever gives the better price during purchase. I have tried several brands from iHerb and many from my local organic stores. None can compare. I eat this raw on rice cakes or use it to cook Asian coconut rice - nasi lemak (1tsp of oil for 1cup of rice, add a pinch of salt and 2-3 screw-pine leaves, also known as pandan leaf). Coconut oil is very stable to heat and suitable for cake making and frying pancakes. Just avoid charring.

More Colors For Carrots (page 3 of 3)
by John Navazio
Growing Colorful Carrots
All of these uniquely colored carrots thrive under the same conditions that produce good orange types. Carrots grow best in amended, well-drained, sandy loam soil formed into raised beds and kept well watered. In many parts of the country, you can be planting seeds now. While some older purple and red varieties may flower prematurely if planted too early in the spring, the ones we've listed here do not bolt under normal conditions. Although it is possible to store purple, red, and white types for a couple of months under ideal conditions, they don't usually store as well as most orange and yellow varieties, so use them first after harvest.
When Scarlet Isn't Red
While many older carrots have the words red or scarlet in their names, such as the popular 'Red Cored Chantenay' and 'Scarlet Nantes', they should not be confused with the true red carrots that contain lycopene. Instead, these are common orange varieties from the early part of this century that had descriptive terms added to their names. At the time, "red" denoted a darker orange color.
John Navazio is a vegetable breeder in Washington.

All things Mother Earth Living

EPA, formaldehyde, composite wood, plywood, toxic chemicals
Nearly everything in our homes — from the upholstery to the plywood— is made from or treated with chemicals. That's scary enough, but get a load of this: Of the 82,000 chemicals currently in commerce in the United States, less than 10 percent have been tested for neurotoxicity. In the past, the Environmental Protection Agency has taken a low profile in this area—largely because it faces challenges in obtaining the information necessary to assess the chemicals' human health and environmental risks.
Many pieces of home furniture are made from plywood, which is chemically treated. Photo By dougfelt/Courtesy Flickr.
Great news this week: The EPA is starting to pay attention, and so is Congress.
The EPA announced it may start regulating chemicals, with an immediate look at those considered most problematic for people's health. In Congress, a bill that would lower formaldehyde levels in composite woods was introduced.
Congress is currently working on Essential Principles for Reform of Chemicals Management Legislation, a bill that would give the EPA a much stronger hand in controlling what chemicals are permissible in the United States. The new EPA measures would require all chemicals entering the market to be tested for their impacts on human health and the environment. Manufacturers would be required to absorb the cost of these tests.
In addition, the U.S. Senate is following California's lead in taking on formaldehyde. A bill introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) is calling for lower formaldehyde levels in composite woods.
Formaldehyde is ubiquitous in the modern home; it can be found in pressboard and particleboard, is used to finish fabric and is a component in the glue used in wood veneer. It's also a known carcinogen, linked to throat cancer, respiratory ailments, watery eyes and depression. Americans were introduced to formaldehyde's hazards after Hurricane Katrina, when victims parked in FEMA trailers that contained high formaldehyde levels became ill.
Under the Senate bill, formaldehyde levels would have to meet California's Air Resources Board (CARB) health standards: 0.09 parts per million (ppm). An average home has a formaldehyde level between 10 and 20 ppm, and the FEMA Katrina trailers had levels of 77 ppm. The bill also requires third-party testing and certification of levels in both domestic and imported products.
The bill is currently in the committee of environment and public works. The new standards would take effect by January 1, 2012, but most domestic manufacturers are already scrambling to meet them. The Composite Panel Association estimates that 100 percent of American manufacturers already comply with California's code.
While you're waiting for the government to act, there's plenty you can do. Check out these easy ways to keep harmful chemicals out of your home and clean your home with safe, environmentally friendly cleaners.

In the much anticipated movie adaptation of the best-selling book, "Divergent" does not disappoint. Between the vantage point shots, incredible music, and all-star cast, there's not a lot of areas for the film to go wrong. Fans of the book will also be happy that it sticks pretty close to Veronica Roth's popular young adult novel.
Note: Veronica Roth is scheduled for this year's L.A. Times Festival of Books on Sunday, April 13th.
Beatrice (Shailene Woodley) and her brother, Caleb (Ansel Elgort) are part of Abnegation, one of five factions, known for its selflessness, with their parents played by Ashley Judd and Scandal president Tony Goldwyn. The movie opens with the Beatrice and Caleb preparing for their testing day, which will tell them which faction they will be assigned to as adults. Even though the test tells them where they belong, the choice is still ultimately up to them.
Note: Woodley and Elgort will play a young couple in the upcoming movie, "The Fault in Our Stars" based on the novel by John Green.
Beatrice's test results come back inconclusive. She doesn't belong to any one group. She is Divergent. At the choosing ceremony, she leaves her family and decides that she wants to belong in Dauntless, the faction of the brave. No one can know she is Divergent. Plus, she's not really sure what it means, just that it might be dangerous.
Through her Dauntless training she changes her name to Tris, meets Four (Theo James) and both friends and frenemies that will decide if she will be able to remain Dauntless or be shunned without a faction. Part of the testing phase is physical, while the other part rests on the abilities of the mind. She has to go up against her own fears, but her bravery begins to reveal her true Divergent nature.
Tris must find out why Divergents are feared and what is to become of the five factions. The leader in charge (Kate Winslet) seems to have some ideas up her sleeve in order to "keep the peace." These ideas breed conformity, violence, and control. Tris must choose how far she is willing to go to stand up for what she believes.
The cast was well chosen with only one slight misstep with Mekhi Phifer as Dauntless leader, Max. Legendary composer Hans Zimmer produced the score, and the romance was more downplayed for the movie, which was a welcome decision for the action movie.
"Divergent" is the first of the trilogy of movies. Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoe Kravitz, Miles Teller, Maggie Q, and Mekhi Phifer also co-star.
Final words: "Divergent" continues with the dystopian trend, but brings fresh, new faces along with it.

TOKYO — It's easy to write off North Korea's threats to strike the United States with a nuclear-tipped missile as bluster: it has never demonstrated the capability to deploy a missile that could reach the Pacific island of Guam, let alone the mainland U.S.
But what about Japan?
Though it remains a highly unlikely scenario, Japanese officials have long feared that if North Korea ever decides to play its nuclear card it has not only the means but several potential motives for launching an attack on Tokyo or major U.S. military installations on Japan's main island. And while a conventional missile attack is far more likely, Tokyo is taking North Korea's nuclear rhetoric seriously.
On Monday, amid reports North Korea is preparing a missile launch or another nuclear test, Japanese officials said they have stepped up measures to ensure the nation's safety. Japanese media reported over the weekend that the defense minister has put destroyers with missile interception systems on alert to shoot down any missile or missile debris that appears to be headed for Japanese territory.
"We are doing all we can to protect the safety of our nation," said chief Cabinet spokesman Yoshihide Suga, though he and Ministry of Defense officials refused to confirm the reports about the naval alert, saying they do not want to "show their cards" to North Korea.
North Korea, meanwhile, issued a new threat against Japan.
"We once again warn Japan against blindly toeing the U.S. policy," said an editorial Monday in the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of its ruling party. "It will have to pay a dear price for its imprudent behavior."
Following North Korea's third nuclear test in February, Japanese experts have increasingly voiced concerns that North Korea may already be able to hit — or at least target — U.S. bases and major population centers with nuclear warheads loaded onto its medium-range Rodong missiles.
"The threat level has jumped" following the nuclear test, said Narushige Michishita, a former Ministry of Defense official and director of the Security and International Studies Program at Tokyo's National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies.
Unlike North Korea's still-under-construction intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, program, its arsenal of about 300 deployed Rodong missiles has been flight tested and is thought to have a range of about 1,300 kilometers (800 miles).
That is good enough to reach Tokyo and key U.S. military bases — including Yokota Air Base, which is the headquarters of the U.S. 5th Air Force; Yokosuka Naval Base, where the USS George Washington aircraft carrier and its battle group are home-based; and Misawa Air Base, a key launching point for U.S. F-16 fighters.
Michishita, in an analysis published late last year, said a Rodong missile launched from North Korea would reach Japan within five to 10 minutes and, if aimed at the center of Tokyo, would have a 50-percent probability of falling somewhere within the perimeter of Tokyo's main subway system.
He said Japan would be a particularly tempting target because it is close enough to feasibly reach with a conventionally or nuclear-armed missile, and the persistent animosity and distrust dating back to Japan's colonization of the Korean Peninsula in 1910 provides an ideological motive.
Also, a threat against Japan could be used to drive a wedge between Tokyo and Washington. North Korea could, for example, fire one or more Rodong missiles toward Tokyo but have them fall short to frighten Japan's leaders into making concessions, stay out of a conflict on the peninsula or oppose moves by the U.S. forces in Japan to assist the South Koreans, lest Tokyo suffer a real attack.
"Given North Korea's past adventurism, this scenario is within the range of its rational choices," Michishita wrote.

Application for full membership
Hello everyone,
I'm currently playing DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online), and have been for a couple years. I noticed you do not have a forum for this game, but would like to apply for full membership in the event you will in the future.
I've been playing DDO for about 2 years consistantly, but played for a few years off and on. I'm located in New York (US EST). I have a long history of playing PnP D&D, from the middle 80's; starting originally with the blue and red box sets. I've also played Gamma World, Rifts, ShadowRun, and others. I'm in my middle 40's, and have played online games for a realitively short time, most have been Pen and Paper.
I'm interested in joining TOG to connect with folks that are a little more mature and enjoy having fun online.
I'd be very interested to see you you are planning on setting up something for DDO int he near future. If not, I'd love to help get some interest from others to get one started.
Look forward to seeing everyone on the boards

Can IPBES move from a science platform to a diverse knowledge platform?
A small delegation of indigenous peoples and local communities attended the first meeting of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), held last month in Bonn, Germany. The delegation drew attention to the value and importance of indigenous and local knowledge and the need for a true partnership between diverse knowledge holders (who are just as 'expert' on biodiversity issues as scientists) and the IPBES.
IPBES, established in Panama City in April 2012, is intended to serve as an independent intergovernmental body for assessing the state of the planet's biodiversity, its ecosystems and the services they provide to society. Indigenous peoples and local communities have been involved from the beginning. In Bonn, governments and stakeholders discussed an initial work plan for IPBES and its rules and procedures, including participation by non-governmental organisations
Indigenous peoples and local communities stress that IPBES can only be successful if it becomes a truly diverse knowledge platform, transcending sciences and embracing multiple expertise and knowledge holders on an equal basis. Furthermore, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders must be enabled to fully and effectively participate in the process. To read the full opening statement by indigenous peoples and local communities to the IPBES click here.

And now returning to football, the Dolphins had a preseason football game last night. They played the Saints in a contest in which Henne looked like a rookie and made a lot of mistakes, and the Dolphins offensive starters were bested by the Saints defensive starters.
The Saints offense was stuck in neutral, so it only got as bad as 10-0 before Miami finally found a new life against the second teamers.
Ernest Willford finally came through with some clutch plays. Bess remained consistent. And the defence looked solid all the way around (was the Saints problem because they were playing so poorly or because Miami's defense was playing so well? Hard to say)
All the backs ran with some authority, though I would say that Brown was the best among them and he scored a TD.
Beck came in for what amounts to mop-up duty, and did nothing to solidify his position. But then again, McCown has not played at all since the first week of pre-season. Whice one stays is anyone's guess.
The game started at 8ET, and amusingly the Miami Herald only had a 6 paragraph article about the game; no other information, articles or stats though the game ended around 11pm - plenty of time to make the press run.
But, the Marlins and Hurricanes were both isn play last night, so I guess its somewhat forgivable.

If you plan to shampoo more than once a year, this is probably worth the investment, otherwise the Hoovers are just fine.

With day one in the books, competition at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi will continue Feb. 9 with eight more medal round finals, according to an update posted to Olympic.org on Feb. 8.
Medals will be awarded to athletes from around the globe in eight different disciplines, including alpine skiing, biathlon, cross country, figure skating, luge, ski jumping, snowboarding and speed skating.
The men's downhill skiing event will mark the 2014 Sochi debut of four-time Olympian Bode Miller. The now 36-year old Miller owns a total of five Olympic medals, including three from the 2010 Vancouver Games, and is the most decorated U.S. Olympic skier of all time. Although he finished third in the downhill event in Vancouver, he is favored to win gold in Sochi after dominating the pack during pre-event training, according to odds posted to Bovada Sportsbook on Feb. 8. The competition is scheduled to begin at 11 PM Pacific time on Feb. 8.
Another highly publicized competition slated to be decided is the first-ever figure skating team event. The final, which includes squads representing Russia, Canada, the U.S., Italy and Japan, will feature long programs by the men's (7 AM Pacific) and ladies' (8:05 AM Pacific) singles skaters as well as the ice dancers (9:10 AM Pacific) representing each team. Although Russia has opened up such a significant lead that the U.S. has been mathematically eliminated from gold medal contention, a podium finish is still well within reach if Gracie Gold, Jason Brown, and Meryl Davis and Charlie White all bring their A-games to the competition.
Other medal round events will include the women's 7.5 km sprint, the men's skiathlon 15 km classic and 15 km free, the men's singles luge, men's normal hill ski jumping, women's snowboard slopestyle, and ladies' 3,000 meter speed skating.
Preliminary round action will include women's ice hockey.
The events of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi can be viewed via livestream on NBCOlympics.com.

Products and Families and Versions - Oh, My!
By Steven Chan - EBS-Oracle on Apr 17, 2009
[Oct 1, 2010 Update: Tweaked the Apps Unlimited section and updated EBS release versions]
[Apr 15, 2009 Update: Added EBS version names and numbers, database version names and numbers, latest version numbers of other components, and new definitions for Applications Unlimited, Consolidated Updates, Critical Patch Collections, Release Update Packs, and the ever-confusing "RUP". Added link to one-page summary of EBS Certifications]
I spend a depressing amount of time explaining the relationships between Oracle marketing brands, products, product families, versions, and patchsets to customers as well as internal Oracle staff. You're confused too? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here's a cheatsheet for the things I spend the most time explaining:
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i or 12
An integrated suite of over 200 enterprise resource planning applications, including modules for Procurement, Accounts Payables, Accounts Receivables, Order Management, Payroll, Supply Chain Planning, Customer Call Centers, and many, many others.
Also Known As: Oracle Applications, Oracle Apps, EBS, eBS, E-Biz, R11, 11i, R12, 12i (incorrect name!)
Oracle Application Server 10g
An integrated suite of development, runtime, and systems management tools, including Forms, JDeveloper, Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J), Single Sign-On, Oracle Internet Directory, Portal, Discoverer, Web Cache, Integration, Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Business Activity Monitoring, Enterprise Manager, and others.
Also Known As: OracleAS 10g, Application Server 10g, App Server 10g, AS10g, 10gAS, AS10gR1, AS10gR2, AS10gR3, 10gR2, 10gR3
Oracle Database
Well, it's Oracle's flagship product, so if I need to describe it, we're in real trouble. This includes the Real Application Clusters (RAC) feature. Everyone frequently confuses the Database with the Application Server products. If someone says, "10gR2," the chances are pretty good that they're talking about the database, but it's always safe to verify that.
Also Known As: 8i, 9i, 10gR1, 10gR2, 11gR1, 11gR2
Fusion Middleware
A family of middleware products including Oracle Application Server as well as Grid, Business Intelligence, Business Process Management, Collaboration, Content Management, Data Integration, Developer Tools, Event Driven Architecture, Service-Oriented Architecture, SOA Governance, Transaction Processing, Identity Management, and other middleware tools.
Also Known As: FMW, OFM
Fusion Applications
The next-generation of our integrated enterprise resource planning suite, representing the convergence of Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and perhaps even more to come.
Also Known As: Project Fusion, Fusion Apps
Applications Unlimited
This term officially refers to the lifetime support program for Oracle's applications product lines, including E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, JD Edwards World, Hyperion Performance Management, Primavera Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, Agile Product Lifecycle Management, AutoVue Enterprise Visualization, and Oracle Fusion Applications. This term is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to all of these products as a group -- it's not a "group," it's a formal program with support and release implications).
Also Known As: Apps Unlimited, AU
E-Business Suite Release and Patch Naming Conventions
"Product Families" Groups of applications modules that are functionally related. For example, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Chart of Accounts are members of the Financials product family.
"Emergency Patch" (a.k.a. interim patches) A patch containing a fix for a specific bug for a specific product. For example, Order Management might release patch 3968068 to fix a very tightly-defined bug. Some emergency patches are released to fix a cluster of interrelated bugs.
"Product Mini-Pack" A collection of bug fixes for a specific applications module. For example, fixes for XML Publisher would be released in an XML Publisher mini-pack called 11i.XDO.H.
"Product Family Patchset" A collection of product mini-packs for a specific, individual product family. For example, fixes for Payroll, Benefits, and Training Administration would be released together in a Human Resources Suite Product Family Patchset called 11i.HR_PF.K. New features are not supposed to be included in product family patchsets, but it happens. This is sometimes also called a Rollup Patchset, or RUP (see below).
"Recommended Patch List" A list of individual patches for a specific product family that you should have applied. These lists might include recommended emergency patches as well as product mini-packs. If a product family recommends a patch via these lists, it's usually a very good idea to heed that.
"Critical Patch Collection" This term was introduced for the EBS 12 codeline. It includes the latest patches from the Recommended Patch List for a single EBS 12 product family. If a product family (e.g. Financials) releases a new Critical Patch Collection, it's usually a very good idea to apply it at your earliest convenience.
"Maintenance Packs" A comprehensive collection of all of the latest product family patchsets and new features. For example, the 18.104.22.168 Maintenance Pack includes product family patchsets for Financials, Procurement, HR, Supply Chain, and everything else in the E-Business Suite.
"Consolidated Updates" A large collection of all of the latest EBS 11i recommended patch lists, including new features. Released after a maintenance pack, such as the Consolidated Update for 11.5.10. This term is used only for EBS 11i. The EBS 12 equivalent term is "Release Update Pack."
"Release Update Packs" A large collection of all of the latest EBS 12 recommended patch lists, including new features. This term is used only for EBS 12. The EBS 11i equivalent term is "Consolidated Update."
"Technology Stack Updates" Any combination of patchsets or mini-packs that change the underlying services that product families depend upon. For example, the latest Applications Technology Family Pack is released in 11i.ATG_PF.H.
Generally, fixes to functional applications products like iReceivables don't require changes to the E-Business Suite technology stack, and vice versa. There are exceptions to that, of course, but that's our general strategy.
"RUP" This one's a bit confusing since this term is used and abused in varying ways even internally within the E-Business Suite division. Bear with me on this:
Remember that in the E-Business Suite Release 11i timeframe, a given product team (e.g. the Applications Technology Group) would release a Product Family Patchset that includes all previously-released patches, emergency patches, and new features. This was often called a Rollup Patchset, or RUP.
In the E-Business Suite Release 12 timeframe, the term "Release Update Pack" is being used in place of "Consolidated Updates". R12 Release Update Packs combine patches created across several E-Business Suite product families. Given the way neologisms form, these became referred to in shortened form as "RUPs" too.
Still with me? In EBS 11i, RUP referred to a single product family patchset, while in EBS 12, RUP generally refers to a consolidated update spanning multiple products. Now brace yourself. Here's the confusing part:
In EBS 12, we're also still releasing product family patchsets, and -- wait for it -- they're sometimes called rollup patchsets, too. These R12 rollup patchset references will invariably be shortened to RUP, too. So, there are two definitions of "RUP" even within the R12 codeline.
Tip: If someone refers to a RUP in your presence, make sure that you clarify whether it's a "Release Update Pack" or a "Rollup Patchset." The difference between the two is vast.

Here's where I lose the three remaining readers of this post.
Only specific versions of Oracle products work together. It's critical to check whether a specific patch works with your configuration.
It's a tricky system to use, but the final word on all supported configurations is captured in a massive database called Certify. To access this system, log on to MetaLink and click the Certify tab in the upper-right corner.
It's easy to get lost in Certify, and it's sometimes very hard to get an answer to a simple question. If you get stuck, the best route is to log a Service Request and let an Oracle Support Engineer wade through the Certify database for you.
A Simplified Version of Certify
Certify is the official repository for all Oracle certifications. It's tricky to use, so you may find a simplified summary of all E-Business Suite technology stack certifications useful. Hit the "Certifications" link in the menubar above, or just navigate to it directly here:
Whew. Let's move on to more interesting topics; this one felt too much like real work.

Harry Styles' Friend Will Says "He Wouldn't Give Up On Love So Easily"
Will Sweeney, close friend of Harry Styles and former bandmate in White Eskimo has been talking with Heatworld about what Harry is really like.
If some of what Will says is true then it's possible that Haylor might not be as finished as most people think.
Will started:
"When he's in a relationship, he's full-on in it. One time I remember we went all the way to Birmingham out of nowhere because he decided he needed to see this girl."
Going into more detail Will carried on, saying:
"We got a train to Birmingham, got off the train, had no idea where she was going to be, it was raining really hard and we walked across the whole of Leamington Spa trying to find her. Then we managed to find an address and it was great, but it was two or three hours of tracking around Birmingham."
Will added:
"So he goes to great lengths and he's very caring, but he's full on. In any relationship he's going to be full on."
Harry and Taylor definitely had their blazing row which we reported, but according to sources, the pair are still talking nearly every day.
Responding to the Harry Styles in a hot-tub story, Will Sweeney said:
"He didn't used to be like that – it's probably just because of the situation he's in now. There weren't hundreds of thousands of women throwing themselves at him, that's probably something to do with it."
The pressures of being in such a high-profile relationship might have been putting a big strain on Harry, and Will said:
"I think he didn't realise. Obviously he's 18 years old and when you've got two of the most famous people in the world, I don't think he knew what that was going to be like."
Finally, Will added:
"It's doubled his chances of everyone wanting to see him. Everyone wants to see him and everyone wants to see her, so when they're both together it's going to be insane."
So is Haylor over or not?

All Pikes Peak Reads 2013 - The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Click here to review this book
Arnold, aka Junior, introduces his hardscrabble life on the Spokane Indian reservation in the first chapter called The Black-Eye-of-the-Month Club. Through his "absolutely true" diary, Arnold describes his impediments and vulnerabilities, the biggest of which is living on a reservation where he is a zero with a zero future. A pivotal conversation with a teacher spurs Arnold to make a daring life choice—to attend an all-white school miles from the reservation.
His rocky start there, riddled with stereotypes and misunderstandings, slowly develops into surprising friendships and successes in academics and basketball. Meanwhile, his family life is shattered by deaths, poverty, and alcoholism. Through it all, Arnold survives with a new confidence in himself and hope for the future.
Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is based on Sherman Alexie's own experiences growing up on the reservation. The text is coupled with poignant drawings by acclaimed artist Ellen Forney; together, they chronicle the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.
About Sherman Alexie
Sherman Alexie is the author of, most recently, War Dances, stories and poems, from Grove Press, and Face, poetry, from Hanging Loose Press. He is the winner of the 2010 PEN/Faulkner Award, 2007 National Book Award for Young People's Literature, 2001 PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in the Short Story, and a Special Citation for the 1994 PEN/Hemingway Award for Best First Fiction. Smoke Signals, the film he wrote and co-produced, won the Audience Award and Filmmakers Trophy at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. He lives with his family in Seattle.

Book Reviews:
I love any and all things Sherman Alexie, but this book really stands out among his work. "True Diary" is totally relatable to anyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit in.
Loved, loved, loved it!
Life on the Spokane Indian Reservation is tough for Junior. Not only is he small and easy to pick on, but he "was born with water on the brain" and has developed differently because of it. After Junior decides to transfer to a school off the reservation to try and find hope (which is completely unheard of), his life on the reservation becomes even harder. Illustrated with Junior's witty cartoon sketches, this book is a quick read that makes you laugh in the midst of pain and brings to life the hardships of others.
A really engaging book about life on the reservation and what it's like to be Indian. A study of the Indian condition disguised as a teen fiction book. Well told and cleverly illustrated, this book gets two thumbs up.
The main character of this book is Arnold "Junior" Spririt. Junior lives on the Spokane Indian Reservation where getting a good education isn't as important as Junior thinks it should be. During his Freshman year of high school, Junior decides to to transfer from the rez school, Wellpinit, to Reardan, where the only other Indian is the school mascot! As you can imagine those first days and weeks are tough for Arnold at Reardan. But, eventually he does start to develop some important relationships. Junior's overcomes so many obstacles throughout this book and Alexie tells a wonderful story through compassion and humor.

Video interview with Coach Bluder
SAN DIEGO -- Make that 3-for-3 against nationally ranked opponents.
The University of Iowa women's basketball team dominated and upset No. 20 Texas, 86-63, late Friday (or early Saturday Iowa time) in the first round of the Maggie Dixon Surf `N Slam Classic in the Jenny Craig Pavilion on the University of San Diego campus.
The latest Hawkeye stunner complements a 79-70 win against No. 12 West Virginia on Nov. 25 and a 50-42 win against No. 22 Iowa State on Dec. 6.
"Our kids were fired up to play a ranked team on a neutral floor and we took full advantage of it," UI head coach Lisa Bluder said. "We socked them early. We shot the ball well, we defended well, we rebounded."
Three UI players scored 20 or more points, yet the most impressive statistics line belonged to sophomore guard Samantha Logic, who compiled 15 rebounds and a school-record 14 assists. Sophomore Melissa Dixon came off the bench to make 5-of-10 3-point field goals and finished with a game-high 23 points -- also a career-high for the guard from Johnsburg, Ill. Jaime Printy scored 21 points and Morgan Johnson had 20. Bethany Doolittle added 10 points.
Johnson and Doolittle pulled down five rebounds apiece.
The Hawkeyes shot 52.2 percent from the field, making 35-of-67 field goals. They scored 40 points in the paint with 24 points off turnovers. Iowa handed out 23 assists and committed 10 turnovers.
"We did a good job of penetrating and finding the open person," Bluder said. "We did a good job of having our hands and feet ready to catch and shoot."
Fittingly, Iowa extended its lead to a game-high 27 points with 3:58 left when Logic assisted Dixon to make the score 82-55.
Iowa led by 20 (41-21) at intermission. The Hawkeyes forced 14 turnovers in the first half and converted those into 21 points. Iowa made 17-of-35 field goals, and after a made jumper by Doolittle, had its largest lead of the first half, 41-19 with 1:23 left before the break.
And to think, it took the Hawkeyes nearly three minutes to score -- a layup by Johnson. Despite sitting the final five minutes of the first half with two fouls, Johnson sank 5-of-6 field goals for 10 points at the break. Dixon led all players with 11 points at halftime, making 3-of-6 3-pointers.
Iowa had 11 assists and nine steals during the first 20 minutes.
"We came into the locker room feeling pretty good about ourselves," Bluder said. "We tried to keep our confidence high."
Logic's assist total surpassed the old school mark of 12 held by Cara Consuegra (2001), Laurie Aaron (1992), LaTonya Tate (1991), and Michelle Edwards (1987).
The Hawkeyes take on host San Diego (8-3) in the Surf `N Slam championship Sunday, Dec. 30, beginning at 4 p.m. (CT). It will be the first meeting between the schools. The Toreros advanced with a 78-72 overtime victory against Central Michigan.
"Now we have to play the home team, so this is always a little but more difficult," Bluder said. "We saw them them play a very good zone defense (Friday) and we'll have to be ready for that. They will have the crowd with them."

Senior Sean Potkay collected five walks during Tulane's opening weekend
Feb. 18, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane will face the Southeastern Louisiana Lions on Tuesday at 6:30pm CST at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium - the Green Wave's first home game of the 2013 campaign.
"Southeastern is an excellent program that had and outstanding opening weekend," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "They are going to be a great challenge for us, as always."
The Greenies will send junior Tyler Mapes to the mound, after he pitched a third of an inning in relief on Saturday, being credited with the loss against Texas State. Southeastern Louisiana will rely on lefty Kyle Cedotal to get the job done from the mound. Cedotal was credited with the win during Southeastern's 5-3 victory over UT-Martin on Feb. 16. In that game, Cedotal threw two innings in relief, giving up one hit and one walk while striking out two.
Tulane (2-1) opened the season at the Texas State Tournament in San Marcos, Texas, where they were crowned champions by winning two of the three games on the weekend. The Greenies defeated Sam Houston State, 2-0, behind Tony Rizzotti's complete game, one-hit shutout last Friday. They lost their second tilt, 6-4, against Texas State despite Alex Byo's seven strikeout performance. On Sunday, Tulane's bats caught fire as they collected 14 hits in a 6-4 victory of Missouri State.
At the plate, Tulane collected 21 hits this past weekend, with 14 of them coming during Sunday's contest against Missouri State. Seniors Brandon Boudreaux and Brennan Middleton lead the team with three hits apiece. Senior Sean Potkay notched five walks in the first three games.
Senior outfielder Blake Crohan injured his shoulder during an at-bat during Friday's contest. To adjust for Crohan's injury, Boudreaux should see time in centerfield, and Briggs Barrios, Andrew Garner and Richard Carthon will split time in the other two outfield positions.
Southeastern Louisiana has a perfect record on the young season, notching three straight wins over UT-Martin this past weekend. Ben Hernandez leads the squad with a .714 batting average after collecting five hits and scoring five runs during the opening series. Harry Slade registered seven hits in the three games for a .583 batting average.
The Lions' head coach is Jay Artigues, who is in his eighth season with the program, holds a career record of 243-164. His two top assistants - Daniel Latham and Matt Riser - both played at Tulane under Jones. Latham is Tulane's all-time saves leader with 43, and is second in appearances with 122.
The Green Wave holds a commanding lead in the all-time series against the Lions, going 71-29. The two squads faced each other three times in 2012, with Tulane winning each contest. Their last tilt was on April 17 of last season when Tulane defeated the Lions, 7-3, behind former Greenie Nick Schneeberger's three-RBI performance.
Following Tuesday's contest, the Green Wave will host their first home weekend series when they welcome Notre Dame to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium from Feb. 22-24.
Fans can tune into Tulane's new flagship station, WMTI 106.1 FM, for Tuesday's broadcast, and live video and audio will be made available through TulaneGreenWave.com to All-Access members. Live stats will also be made available through TulaneGreenWave.com.
For tickets to that game, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.
You can follow Green Wave baseball on Twitter (@GreenWaveBSB) or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/GreenWaveBaseball.

The end of WWII brought many changes to the Earth. The fall of Nazi Germany being one of them. The Nazi's decided at one point that they must continue on. Some traveled to Switzerland. Some went to South America namely Argentine and lived out their lives in seclusion. Some went so far away no one even knew about them for some 70 years.
Our story begins with the first landing on the moon. It was a comical affair at first. I mean no one had ever been to the moon. They didn't know what it would be like to walk around up there. Anyway, our astronauts are out looking over the territory around the lunar module. One astronaut stumbles upon something so very strange that he calls over to the other astronaut to come and take a look. By the time the other astronaut had gotten to his comrade, he was dead. The second astronaut saw what had happened, looked down into an area, and all he could see were refineries and buildings. He honestly couldn't believe his eyes when all of sudden he saw people. There was not supposed to be people on the moon. The group would argue about this astronaut until finally they just took him down into a building to interrogate him. They were shocked when he took off his helmet and they saw a black in their midst. They hadn't seen a black person in all those years. You see there was one group of Nazi's who had put together a ragtag assortment of people and landed on the moon rather than be caught by the allies at the end of WWII. They had kept together the Aryan ideas and flourished up on the moon. The astronaut would eventually tell them what they wanted to hear, so that he could get them into the White House and see the American president.
They were able to take the black astronaut and make him white. They were able to make him think as a Nazi. They put together a group who were to travel to Earth and discuss terms with the American president or they were going to attack and take over the Earth once and for all.
Eone brings us a delightful fantasy about Nazi's and world domination. The DVD will be out on March 11, 2014. This is a must for your library if simply to look at it as something so bizarre that you actually think it could have happened. The DVD is of the highest quality. The sight and sounds are the best you can have on a DVD. So get on out and pick one up, take it home and see what the world could have been like if the Nazi's had traveled to the moon and then came back to take us over. You'll enjoy this one.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to the 12th Annual CFA-CUNA Holiday Spending Survey, more consumers are worried about their finances than those who are comfortable with their finances. The worry is directly attributed to the worst financial crisis facing America since The Great Depression. Many consumers reported that their finances are in worse shape than they were this time last year or the year before.
The survey was conducted nationally with 1,011 adults reporting between November 10th and November 13th. About 37 percent of those adults surveyed revealed that their financial situation was worse off than it was year ago, while 30 percent said that their financial situation had improved. About 41 percent of those adults surveyed said that they planned to spend less this year during the holiday shopping season.
It appears as the effects of the recent recession of 2008 are lingering and will continue to influence consumers in the near future.

I'd gladly donate $5.00 to a reputable organization along with others to have a Public Service Announcement 30 seconds explaining the new law to the general public. The anti gun groups are still licking there wounds. They are going to regroup and attempt to repeal the law. Main stream media will side with them in my opinion you know the old saying "Bad & negative news is good news"

The county's four councils - Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield - will enter into a contract with BT to deliver superfast speeds to 95 per cent of the region by 2017.
Barnsley Council papers show the four councils are expected to contribute £7.425m - with Barnsley giving £1.3m, and although the finer details have yet to be finalised, it is thought the contract will be signed in the coming weeks.
A spokesman for Barnsley Council said: "This is an important multi-agency project which is seeking to extend fast internet access to many places in South Yorkshire that don't currently have it."
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated August 22. **
so we spending more money on broadband after the last load of cash we pumped into digital region i think they called it
a council pleading poverty, withdrawing or cocking up front line services (bin collections for starters) is going to invest with BT. Wasn't that long ago nearly £100 MILLION was sunk into Digital Region. Who thinks up and justifies these schemes?? Just google digital region
I was an origin broadband customer that used the digital region broadband network, which got scrapped earlier this month. Down from 30mb to 4mb now here in Grimethorpe. I would welcome the news they are finally working with a proper provider such as BT to upgrade the broadband services available.
Digital Region failed because none of you signed up for the fast broadband in the first place to make it viable. It was an admirable scheme, ahead of BT and their fibre roll-out, and one I was envious of when I lived in Wakefield.
Now I live in Silkstone Common I'm connected to one of the only exchanges this side of the M1 that doesn't have BT fibre. :( I hope the Silkstone exchange is included in the 95%.
Also, the hardworking of putting in the ducting and access has already been done for DR, as a result the expensive bit id done and BT can probably use it so the necessary investment needed now is much reduced.

I use it for all of my scripting work, as well as for prototyping, doing "proof of concept" type things for projects that I'll eventually end up coding in C, which is definitely my preferred "real" language.

I posted an item the other day noting that Bay Area jazz musician-educator Ellen Seeling takes issue with the way Wynton Marsalis handles auditions for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. The details are below.
More importantly, Seeling has set a rally calling for blind auditions for that esteemed ensemble. The event is set for 5 p.m. March 22 in front of the SFJAZZ Center, Franklin and Fell in San Francisco. Marsalis and the orchestra perform at SFJAZZ March 20-23.
Wynton does not hold auditions for the band, and there has never been a permanent woman member of the group since its founding in 1988! We want fair and equal access for women in jazz. When blind auditions (behind a screen without knowing name or gender) were instituted in the 1970s by American orchestras, there occurred a 30%-55% increase in the proportion of females among new hires, and a 25% to 46% increase in the percentage females in the orchestras since 1970.
So why won't Wynton audition women? His players earn $100,000 a year — shouldn't women get a equal shot at making this kind of money? Is it OK to exclude women if the organization takes tax money? We want equal access for women through blind auditions for Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra!

Jimmy Carter's abuse of women and girls as young as four years of age topic is part of his new book "A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power." However, Carter's book about the abuse of women is not just some "view from his mountaintop" as described by a March 25 Breitbart Big Government report. In contrast, the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, is discussing a topic that is an unimaginable reality of women and girls on a daily basis in U.S. schools, colleges, work places, and on the streets.
Just a few days before 89-year-old Jimmy Carter began his tour promoting his book, San Diego's 10News published a report titled San Diego pimps make more in a month than some folks make in a year.
"Pimps in San Diego are raking in the dough -- around $11,000 a week -- according to a report that takes a look at the illegal sex industry in eight major U.S. cities including ours. Yes, you read that correctly -- we're talking WEEKLY. Do the math and that's around $44,000 a month ($528,000 a year if you really want to be shocked). And what might be even more surprising is that pimps can make three times more in other cities, like Atlanta or Denver."
Unlike Carter's topic of the abuse of women, San Diego's 10News report was based on the findings by researchers with The Urban Institute. The institute's article "'Estimating the Size and Structure of the Underground Commercial Sex Economy in Eight Major U.S. Cities" is a first-of-its kind revelation that includes some eye-opening numbers showing just how lucrative the industry with women and girls is.
Like the report, Carter mentions that Atlanta is the major U.S. hub for trafficking of girls coming from the southern hemisphere into the United States. And girls from South America are much cheaper at a cost of $1,000 versus a girl from Europe which might cost $8,000.
In an interview with David Letterman on Monday night, Jimmy Carter said that slavery in the United States, especially slavery of women, is worse than in the 19th century – a harsh reality unknown to many.
According to Amazon.com's description of Carter's book on the abuse of women, "President Carter was encouraged to write this book by a wide coalition of leaders of all faiths. His urgent report covers a system of discrimination that extends to every nation. Women are deprived of equal opportunity in wealthier nations and 'owned' by men in others, forced to suffer servitude, child marriage, and genital cutting. The most vulnerable, along with their children, are trapped in war and violence." In some African countries, raping young girls is the soldiers' reward for a job well done.
Listening to Carter talk about the abuse of women and girls with Charlie Rose on Tuesday night and reading about the lucrative income of pimps (which Carter also discusses) makes it clear that this topic is anything but "a view from his mountaintop" but a national as well as international crisis that needs to be addressed. Most cases of rape on college campuses are unreported or not persecuted because presidents of universities do not want their colleges to be "shamed." Most cases of rape in military institutions remain unreported because a superior officer would have to admit that he is not as much in charge of his men as he'd like to be. And when it comes to religion, no matter which faith, one can only be reminded of Karl Marz's statement, institutionalized "religion is the opium of the people" -- making a call for action an almost impossible task.

Today at 8:00 a.m., local Philadelphians, friends, and supporters gathered in front of the beautiful Philadelphia Museum of Art to participate in the 10th annual Sandy Spirit 5K/10K and Canine Sprint. Hosted by the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, the sprint raises awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research.
In honor of the race's 10th anniversary, a brand new 10K course was introduced in addition to the 5K course. Participants were encouraged to dress up as their favorite superhero since survivors, family, friends, supporters and patients are all heroes in their communities.
Robin Cohen, co-founder of The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation commented, " Last year's race attracted a record-breaking attendance of more than 4,000 runners and walkers, raising more than $240,000 for research."
For next year's race, future participants are encouraged to pre-register before the date of the race for a discounted rate, but day-of-race registration will also be available. Visit www.sandysprint14.kintera.org for more registration information.
For more information about the race, visit www.sandyovarian.org.
Family-friendly activities included a Philadelphia Union Kids' soccer play area, Rocky impersonators (who doesn't love them?), prizes, and much more. Head on over to the Philadelphia Museum of art now, and you may still be able to catch some of the fun and show your support!
About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is very hard to diagnose and can easily be confused with other illnesses, but it still affects one out of every 58 women. It is the most fatal of all gynecologic cancers, with a five-year survival rate of only 46%. When detected, more than 90% of women will survive longer than five years. Unfortunately, only 19% of women are diagnosed in the early stages. When detected in advanced stages, the chance of five-year survival is only 44%.
About The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation
The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that was established as a tribute to the life, character, and immense strength of Sandy Rollman. Sandy passed away from advanced ovarian cancer in May 2000, and prior to her diagnosis, experiences many textbook symptoms. Tragically, no one was listening to her symptoms.
Sandy's sister Adriana Way and her nurse Robin Cohen wanted to keep Sandy's memory alive and help other women to prevent enduring the same pain. In Sandy's memory, the Sandy Rollman Foundation has dedicated their efforts to help conquer ovarian cancer.

Cruise passengers hoping to see the famed Colossus of Rhodes during a day-stop on this Greek island off the southwest coast of Turkey will be disappointed. It's not there anymore. Not even some rubble where this gigantic statue, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood.
Still, sailing by the old harbor's entrance, it's easy to conjure up the iconic sight of the Colossus towering over 100 feet high – almost the height of the Statue of Liberty – with one foot planted on each side of the passage.
Today, smaller boats slip through the harbor's relatively narrow (and untopped) passage to dock in the harbor. The big cruise ships saddle up to nearby piers.
"True, the Colossus is long gone," says tour guide Manos Mitsakos, "but there's still plenty of fantastic things to see on the island, not the least of which is the stunning medieval city we now call 'Old Town.'"
Settled by the Minoans in the 16th century B.C., the island fell to the arrows, swords, scimitars and cannons of a succession of conquerors over the years. Among flags that flew over Rhodes were those of the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines and – after the fall of Jerusalem to Muslim forces in 1291 – of the ousted Christian Knights Hospitaller, better known as the Knights of St. John.
The three sections of Old Town were once home to 100,000 Christians,Turks and Jews. Today the town is usually packed with seemingly the same number of tourists roaming around its castles, fortresses, gun turrets, museums and shopping lanes.
Elsewhere on the 50-mile-long island (it's about half that size wide) you'll find tourists scampering around an ancient acropolis overlooking the sprawling city of Lindos. Up in the ruins are must-see sites such as the Temple of Athena, the Castle of the Knights of St. John and the Greek Orthodox Church of St. John.
Travelers planning to stay awhile on the island can fast-forward to today next door to Lindos at Lindian Village, a five-star resort stretching over 60 acres on Rhodes' white beaches. Among the resort's 146 guestrooms are 72 suites with their own private pools.
Day-visitors dribble back from inland tours in time to stroll around Old Town to sample Greek delicacies in everything from gourmet restaurants to the Rhodian versions of McDonalds and Pizza Hut. After that, they go back to their ships for the next leg of their cruise: a quick 70-mile sail up the Turkish coast to the shopping mecca of Bodrum and the probable location of yet another missing Wonder of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.

Denver Bankruptcy Attorney, Benjamin Yablon, announced today on HaystackHelp Radio that his firm is accepting Bitcoins for legal services. This is believed to be the first law firm in Colorado to do so. According to the Greeley Tribune, the Cosmic Mart in Greeley became the first company in the United States to officially begin accepting Bitcoins for common goods like gas and grocery items.
Overstock.com, The Sacramento Kings, TigerDirect and several Las Vegas Casino's have all made the decision to accept Bitcoins. The list is growing because businesses and nonprofits recognize and are embracing this new and growing payment option.
Why all the interest? According to the Cosmic Mart Owner, Shahzad Sarwar, this their way of attempting to bypass credit cards. Sarwar claims they could hire two more full time employees for what they pay in credit processing fees. Though there are many benefits, the savings in processing fees paired with the security Bitcoin offers is why businesses and nonprofits are taking notice.
Many companies rely on credit card processing as a necessary evil. Nearly everyone has a credit card and they are using them. The problem lies in the processing fees, which is a large expense for businesses. Consider this, our local food co-op pays $23000 in fees per year. It's not uncommon for charities earning as little as $20,000 per year to pay $600 or more in fees. Now keep in mind, these are fees charged to accept money in a different form other than cash. How is this so different than Bitcoin? The answer is it's not.
Typical charges for credit card processing ranges from 2.9-3.2% + 30¢ for each transaction. Nonprofits are offered a discount of .1- .3%. A small nonprofit earning $20,000 per year is typically charged 2.9% +30¢ per transaction, costing about $685 per year. It may not seem like that much but consider this, for a charity feeding low income families, this could feed another 8 people. Now imagine this nonprofit is 5 years down the road and the annual income $100,000 per year, (which would be AMAZING), that would be over $3000 per year to just process credit cards. In this example that would feed another 40 people.
The fee savings are just one of the benefits to accepting Bitcoins. Another is the time it takes the money to be deposited it into the businesses account once the payment is processed, which can be as long as 5 business days with credit card and bank transfers. A Bitcoin purchase or donation is confirmed in as little as 10 minutes and is given directly to the charity or business, no middleman, no fees, no credit cards, no charge-backs. The transaction is final. There are small fees but in the range of 1-5¢ per transaction.
It was reported that a BitCoin transaction worth $6.5 Million was completed for the processing fee of 6¢. This is UNHEARD of. If this transaction were to run through Paypal, it would have cost $188,000 in processing fees and had it gone through the bank, which usually charges 3.5%, it would be have cost $227,000. Now image what could be accomplished if these fees were not going to banks and processors but instead remained with the business or charity.
It makes sense for businesses to consider utilizing Bitcoin in light of fee savings, rapid processing times and the avoidance of credit card breaches and database hackings. These benefits don't apply to just businesses and charities but to all people. This is a peer to peer currency. According to CNN, "BitCoins is the Napster of Finance." Think of the way Napster changed music and file sharing, that is exactly how Bitcoin will change finance and our money transactions.

I'm looking for a movie some time ago, it goes like this.
Person A lives a normal life until he meet person B. While they are together A takes B's phone by accident and discovers that B is a member of a secret organisation (maybe called 'the list', I can't remember), the members of this organisation do only one thing : have sex with other members. and finally there is some development in the story that I have forgotten totally.
