BRONXVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TokenWorks® Inc. introduces IDWedgeBT™, the first Bluetooth ID Card Scanner that automatically completes digital forms. Embedded software intelligently parses data from magnetic, 1D and 2D barcodes on driver's licenses, financial payment cards, student IDs, membership cards, military IDs, loyalty cards and sends it via Bluetooth to computers running Apple, Android and Windows operating systems. It is twenty times faster than manual data entry, eliminates keypunch errors, requires no software development, and works with any computer or mobile device that pairs with a Bluetooth keyboard.

Unlike traditional card scanners that send raw card data, IDWedgeBT's built in software recognizes different cards types, extracts relevant field data and executes a user defined script to enter card data directly into an electronic form. Once IDWedgeBT is configured for a specific form and paired via Bluetooth, simply scan/swipe a card and watch as IDWedgeBT automatically completes the form's contact and/or payment section(s).
Future Proof - The IDWedgeBT works with today's iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPod 5. It will work with next year's iPhone 6, iPad 5 and iPod 6 because it doesn't depend on specific I/O connectors or need to fit into a gimmicky piggyback case. It works with Windows Slate, Android Nexus Tablets, Android phones, Samsung Galaxy II and III phones, MacBook Pro laptops and Linux devices, among others. The IDWedgeBT will type data into any form that supports a Bluetooth HID keyboard.
For developers, IDWedgeBT includes card-parsing software so there is no need to develop or license 3rd party parsing code. It has two Bluetooth interfaces, Human Interface Device (HID) and Serial Port Profile (SSP). The HID interface works with operating systems that support Bluetooth keyboards (Android, Apple, Linux, Windows). The SPP interface works with Android, Linux and Windows devices, and is typically used when developing custom software.
Charles Cagliostro, President of TokenWorks Inc., states, "IDWedgeBT builds on the success of our IDWedge® product and extends card reading to new platforms like smart phones, tablets and Apple / Linux Operating systems. We are finding strong interests in mobile applications which capture driver's license and credit card data, such as rental contracts, hotel registrations, and doctor's office check in."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard - Full Speed SLI *Exclusive*
Far Cry
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.3
Timedemo or Level Used: Ubisoft Volcano
Developer Homepage: http://www.crytek.com
Product Homepage: http://www.farcrygame.com
There is no denying that Far Cry is currently one of the most graphic intensive games on the market, utilizing PS2.0 technology (the latest versions support Shader Model 3.0 with DX9c) and offering an exceptional visual experience there is no denying that even some of the faster graphics cards struggle.
Far Cry is a game that is that much limited by the processor that it gives us lower numbers on the 16x chipset.
With performance being lower here we would tend to think that it is an optimization problem - with the board coming to us so early the drivers aren't as mature for this extra bandwidth, we would assume.

I spent some time playing with Bob Buffone's newest work on Ajax over the last few days. Bob built an xModify processor that runs on either jQuery, Dojo or Mootools. The xModify processor is powerful but quite lightweight (10KB without gzip). There will be more news on xModify but that is not the point of this post. Anyway, I wrote a little app that uses his stuff. The entire application uses three JavaScript file: jQuery library (70KB), xModify processor (10KB) and my little JavaScript file (2KB).
Then I applied a modified version of ShinkSafe, reducing the number of round trips as well as download size. ShrinkSafe is a tool provided by Dojo that compresses JavaScript files. Using ShrinkSafe, the three JavaScript files are combined into one and the total download footprint also reduced by about 30% to 40%. The result worked well on both IE and FireFox. At this point, I happily concluded my little project and moved onto my day job of web browsing.
However, it turns out that my browsing experience is unusually slow at this moment. Eventually I realized it is because I have my FireBug turned on due to my earlier little project. After I disabled FireBug, web browsing resumed its normal performance.
A few hours later when I tried to run my little application again, it surprisingly failed on FireFox. The app loads into FireFox, but it does not respond to any user interaction. It is not frozon or dead, as I can still type into text fields. It looks fine too as the UI is still rendered correctly. But it is just not responding to any event such as "submit" or "click". On IE, the application is still working fine. The only thing that's changed is that I have FireBug disabled now. Would disabling FireBug break my app? Hard to imagine. Nevertheless, I re-enabled FireBug. Surprisingly the application is working again. If I disable FireBug, the application stops working. So does disabling FireBug actually break my application?
There is one error message on the JavaScript console: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Not enough arguments" nsresult: "0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost:1000/app/javascript/jquery/all.js :: anonymous :: line 1" data: no]
What does the error message mean? Where does the error come from?
Well, now enters a four-hour exciting debugging session....
After four hours, I finally figured out the problem. It is not FireBug. It is not ShrinkSafe. It is actually a coding issue in my little JavaScript code. In my code, I used "XmlHttpRequest" object. Here is the code snippet:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) req = new XMLHttpRequest();
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
req = new ActiveXObject((navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('msie 5') != -1) ? "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" : "Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
req.open("GET", url, false);
The problem is the "req.send()" statement. When you call "send()" method for an XHR object, FireFox expects an argument for this method, even if it is "null". Without an argument, FireFox throws the above exception. Once I changed "req.send();" to "req.send(null);", the problem went away.
Can the message be any more esoteric?
Happy coding!

The Strypes + The Skins
23 Aug 2014: Music Hall of Williamsburg Brooklyn
Four teenage lads who hail from Ireland, Ross Farrelly (vocals), Josh McClorey (guitar), Peter O'Hanlon (bass) and drummer Evan Walsh make up the Strypes, a straight up rock and roll band influenced by '60s and '70s acts. Their current US tour with Brooklyn's the Skins recently wrapped up at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg where the crowd went a little bonkers, turning half of the dance floor into a churning mosh pit. The young band put out their first album Snapshot last year and have a new EP out this year, but they didn't just fill their show with only their songs. Throughout, but primarily at the finale, the Strypes' included covers of acts that influenced them, from Vince Taylor to Howlin' Wolf. The two most fun covers at the end included some audience participation though. The Ramones' "Rockaway Beach" and the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" became sing-alongs and the latter saw the Skins return to the stage to close out the night and the tour with their friends.

Topic: Invasive Plants, Problem Plants
Title: Methods of controlling poison ivy
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:What do you suggest for controlling poison oak (ivy)?
Since many people are sensitive, some severely, to poison ivy (Toxicodendron spp.), it is not an easy plant to control. If you have a small amount of poison ivy, the sooner you start the easier it will be to control it. The method you use to control it will depend on your sensitivity to the urushiol oil from the plant that causes the itching. If you know that you are sensitive to the urushiol, you might be wise to hire someone who is not sensitive to remove the plants since the most ecologically friendly method for eliminating them is to pull them out of the ground. Pulling them up should include getting as much of the root system out of the ground as possible. The plants will come out of the ground easier if the ground is wet. You (or the person who is removing the plants), even if you believe you are not sensitive to urushiol oil, should protect yourself well while doing this. You should wear gloves, long sleeves, long pants, and boots or shoes with socks. To protect yourself even more you can put your gloved hand in a plastic bag before you grasp the plant to pull it out of the ground. As the plant is pulled out of the ground, the plastic bag can be pulled over the plant to cover it. After you have disposed of the secured plastic bags of plants in the trash, you should thoroughly wash all clothing and yourself. If the plants resprout from any roots that were not removed, you will need to repeat the procedure and try to dig the roots out of the ground. If you are dealing with a large amount of poison ivy to remove, pulling it up may not be practical. In such a case, cutting it near to the ground with long-handled clippers or equivalent device would be better. Shoots will still sprout from the roots, but continued cutting of the shoots should result in starving and killing the roots. It is not recommended to mow the plants since this would shred the plant releasing more of the oil and spreading it everywhere a cut piece is deposited. Burning is also not recommended since the windborn ash from the burning will contain the oil. Tilling the plants under will get rid of the immediate problem but unless the roots are removed, the plants will resprout. Incidentally, if your poison ivy is a vine that has made its way up into a tree, you would be better off severing the vine from the roots in the wintertime when the plant is dormant and the leaves have fallen. Otherwise, you are going to have a tree full of rather unsightly dead poison ivy leaves.
Although we do not generally recommend using herbicides, in the case of a plant that causes severe physical distress like poison ivy, there are herbicides that can be applied if done in a judicious manner. After removing the plants and as much of the roots as possible, you could treat regrowth by painting small amounts of herbicide on sprouting leaves. Painting restricts the herbicide to the plants you want to kill and not to nearby desirable plants. It also eliminates the amount of herbicide you are releasing into the environment. You can read about appropriate herbicides and other methods of control of poison ivy in articles prepared by the Ohio State University Extension Service.
If you have bare skin that has been exposed directly to poison ivy plants, washing with soap and cool water should remove most of the urushiol. Avoid warm water since it may help the oil penetrate the skin. There are products that reportedly remove the urushiol oil from the skin after exposure that you can find by googling "removing urushiol oil".

A great product!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Sony LiveView Touch Generation 2 SmartWatch Android Smartphone Accessory (Electronics)
I haven't worn a watch for 10 years.
I bought this watch as I thought it might be useful.
I don't use all the features but even just using message & email alerts, phone finder, weather, call handling and music player it is fantastic.
The battery also lasts at least 4 days (for my usage).
The only downsides: the charger is a bit fiddly and I put on a leather watchstrap for comfort.
A great product!
5 stars.

ASUS P7H55D-M EVO (Intel H55 Express) Motherboard
I have a feeling that ASUS does not know how to make a product with no overclocking controls. Even in something that is clearly for the mid-range user we find the usual AI Tweaker page. Although the typical CPU LevelUP is missing we still get a pretty good deal of overclocking options handed to us on the P7H55D-M.
Inside the AI Tweaker page is the DRAM Timing Control page. This one is pretty self-explanatory.
The Advanced page contains the CPU configuration page. On this page are options for C-States, SpeedStep, Hyper Threading, and much more.
Also on the Advanced page is the Uncore Configuration. On this page you find all the adjustments for the HD GMA found on the Clarkdale CPU.
One thing that we want to mention again here (as it is very important to HTPC owners) are the Q-Fan controls. These things are great for someone looking to control all of the fans that can plug into the P7H55D-M EVO. The manual controls are exceptional. Although it was not part of the scope of this review we tinkered around with them at stock speeds and were very impressed.
Ok, it's an ASUS board. It overclocked like a dream. We started off high as we knew our Core i5 661 was capable of hitting at least 4.4GHz. So we began our overclocking journey at 176MHz BCLK and a 25 multiplier. This gave us a clock of 4.415GHz which is not bad at all. Getting over this speed was a little bit of an issue though. We found that pushing past this meant we had to bump the voltage over 1.35V at this voltage the GPU began to have serious stability issues. We saw artifacts on the desktop and even watched the display driver crash several times. This means that the motherboard is capable of much more, just that the CPU is not when you are using the IGP.
You can see the validation for the P7H55D-M EVO here.
The TurboV implementation on the P7H55D-M EVO is different from what you would normally expect. The Auto Tune and even the easy OC controls are absent. You only have the manual controls here.
You also have a GPU boost mode that lets you kick up the speed of the HD GMA. Although I have to be honest; I have no idea why you would want it. It is not going to get you much performance.
Another departure from the typical TurboV is that the Turbo Key functions have been broken out into a separate application. This is a little odd but nothing that would prevent you from using the software just like you would with the normal TurboV.
Important Editor Note: Our maximum overclocking result is the best result we managed in our limited time of testing the motherboard. Due to time constraints we weren't able to tweak the motherboard to the absolute maximum and find the highest possible FSB, as this could take days to find properly. We do however spend at least a few hours overclocking every motherboard to try and find the highest possible overclock in that time frame. You may or may not be able to overclock higher if you spend more time tweaking or as new BIOS updates are released. "Burn-in" time might also come into play if you believe in that.

Hudson Valley - Hampton 10.25 Inch 3 Light SemiFlushIn 1887, England declared an imperial holiday to commemorate Queen Victoria's 50th year on the throne--her "golden jubilee." Public celebrations occurred across the empire. Photographs from India show a distinctive array of glass lanterns illuminating the occasion, representing the hybrid of Anglo and Indian design sensibilities. Hampton reproduces these historic, mouth-blown glass lanterns. While the oversized bell jar originally held a reservoir of whale oil, we suspend a candelabra array to provide warm light without the mess. The upper shade deflected the oil's thick smoke to prevent it from staining the ceiling. Hampton comes in four metal finishes and three glass options, allowing you to customize the look to your own decor.This Hudson Valley fixture from their semi-flush collection is a glamorous addition to any room. The Hampton Old Bronze 10.25 Inch 3 Light Semi-Flush with Clear Glass Shade will fit in with the traditional decor of your living room, dining room, kitchen, and more. The old bronze finish enhances the look of this striking semi-flush. Hudson Valley Lighting believes that light animates each moment of our lives. The landscape surrounding their design studio located in New York's Hudson River Valley provides a source of endless inspiration for their fixtures. Hudson Valley only uses high-grade materials and superior manufacturing techniques to create fixtures that will last for years to come. For nearly thirty years, Hudson Valley has prided themselves on constant, close attention to detail, craftsmanship, and quality.

Study by data analysis firm GI Insight reveals vast majority of consumers demand companies lay groundwork before embarking on Social Local Mobile campaigns
Leicester, February 2014 - New research on Social Local Mobile (SoLoMo) marketing by customer insight company GI Insight reveals that 70% of UK consumers are only happy to receive location-based commercial messages via their mobile phone if they have given prior permission for the company sending the communications to contact them.
The study, based on a survey of more than 1,000 consumers, also shows that 58% of consumers are only open to receiving localised marketing messages on their mobiles or smartphones if they have a strong existing relationship with the brand sending them, such as membership in a loyalty scheme, while 80% are not happy for 'any old company' to send them such communications.
The most surprising finding of the research was that, despite initial enthusiasm for Foursquare, Facebook Deals and other SoLoMo-related social media initiatives, consumers are not at all favourable towards location-based marketing through social networks, with just 22% saying that receiving promotions via these sites would increase their likelihood of actually taking up an offer.
Instead, 59% of consumers say they are much more likely to take up localised offers sent to their mobile - whether by email, text or special app - if they belong to the sending company's loyalty scheme. What's more, 59% also maintain that even if they have an established connection with a company, they will not act on location-based mobile messages if they are not individualised offers that reflect an understanding of their needs and preferences.
The research report, Harnessing the power of SoLoMo, examines how receptive and responsive consumers would be to mobile messages from companies based on their current location - such as an offer of discount or a free item for visiting a shop or restaurant in an area they have just arrived at. The survey was representative of the UK by age, gender and social class and the report includes sections on gender differences, age group breakdowns and regional variations.
Andy Wood, GI Insight's managing director, notes: "These findings throw up some real red flags for brands, and some of them are surprising. For instance, not everyone is happy to be marketed to via mobile, and less than a quarter of the consumers we surveyed say that they would act on localised messages sent to their smartphones via a social networking site.
"Permissions are crucial to even get a message read and having a longstanding relationship with a brand - such as belonging to the loyalty scheme - is the real key driver behind consumer take-up of SoLoMo offers, according to the research. Consumers also demand that such localised mobile messages offer personalised, individual promotions based on what the brand knows about them. These relationships have to be built through other channels and informed by data painstakingly gathered and analysed - before any location-based marketing is even considered. SoLoMo cannot simply be a matter of casting the net out to a location and seeing if the consumer bites.
"Whilst SoLoMo can offer a unique opportunity for companies to gain a competitive edge, the research makes it crystal clear that it is not going to develop into the be-all and end-all of one-to-one marketing. It is evident that a significant proportion of consumers will never be comfortable accepting location-based marketing on their mobiles and that, for others, it is but one touch point among a range of channels that brands need to use to engage them."

Attention, all candy-ass punks and faux-metal fuckwits contemplating a career in music: GIVE UP NOW. You will never in a bazillion years touch Motörhead mainstay Lemmy. He's old enough to have bent your hippie mom over an amp in the back of a tour bus when he was a Hendrix roadie. He did enough drugs by '75 to get the boot from space-rock freak show Hawkwind. And almost three decades after founding Motörhead, he continues to lay an epic smackdown on eardrums worldwide. Sure, he's ripping himself off here ("Suicide" rewrites "Iron Horse/ Born to Lose" with environmentalist lyrics) when he's not stealing riffs back from Metallica's Kill 'Em All album ("Down on Me," "Fight"). Who cares? Even contributions from virtuoso wankmeister Steve Vai can't derail Lemmy's locomotive punk-metal juggernaut. Kneel and kiss his white snakeskin boots. Offer him your girlfriend and meth stash in tribute. Lemmy is your god. -- Dave Pehling

The options of different majors is outstanding. Some popular areas of Audie are business and the medical filed.
The curriculum is great as well as the professors. The registration process is pretty easy and the work load depends on your major.
This is a very good school anyone would be happy to be part of it
I'm only starting my second semester at the school but so far everything has been great. The administrative process which can be difficult was very easy and completed in a very short amount of time. I am a Veteran so I had additional paperwork and dealing with the school's Veteran's Program really helped smooth it all out and turned it into a very simple and easy process. The professors I've had, including general education, have all been great and more than willing to stop class to further explain concepts and ideas and have had no issues working with students to ensure the students maximum success.
The athletic department has good services.

The University of the Incarnate Word seems to excel in terms of education. According to many students, one of the best things about attending this school is the academics and the quality of education you will receive. With the small campus and the low student-to-teacher ratio, students are able to receive more personal attention and a better education. The professors know you by name and can greatly help you with your strengths and weaknesses as a student. Some professors may even help you with other University-related areas, such as finding a work study job on campus. The majority of the time, professors at UIW take interest in going the extra mile and helping out their students. Overall, the school work won't take over your life. As long as you manage your time wisely, finishing your work won't be a major part of your stress.
The environment of the classrooms varies depending on the professor. Some may be very engaging, while others are very relaxed. Some classes may even be a little too boring. Whatever the classroom's atmosphere, it is assured that you will receive a high-quality education. Not only will you learn the course material, but you will also learn important lessons that can be applied to your everyday life in the future.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
Gus Van Sant's "Restless" is an uncommonly touching romance about a young man and woman who essentially worship at the shrines of their own deaths. The girl with infinite tact and sweetness is able to coax the boy back into the world of the living, even though we learn cancer will allow her only three more months of life.
They begin to notice each other among the mourners at funerals. They stand back a bit and don't speak to anyone, and by the time she turns and smiles at him, it's probable she realizes they're both up to the same game: requiem-watching. Well, lots of people crash weddings. Why should funerals be exempt?
Enoch (Henry Hopper, son of Dennis) is obsessed with death. When we first see him, he is drawing a chalk outline on the floor around his body — a murder scene technique that works without words to tell us what we need to know. Annabel (Mia Wasikowska) has a brain tumor and has been given three months to live.
Tenderly, shyly, they develop an affection for each other. As it grows, it helps him renew his interest in living. She sets one condition: Her illness is not to be the subject of their relationship. Because her death is near in her future, she wants to simply ignore it, and in the weeks she has remaining, she wants to experience, as much as she can, the first real romance of her young life.
There is a third major character, an inexplicable one, a friend of Enoch's named Hiroshi Takahashi (Ryo Kase), who died in World War II as a kamikaze pilot. The nature of this character is unclear. Reincarnated? Van Sant wisely doesn't explain and simply uses him in a matter-of-fact way as someone who is there. I don't believe kamikaze pilots were in love with death, but simply willing to give up their lives for their country. Perhaps his presence indicates that Enoch can travel in some sense to that undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveler returns.
Annabel has a confidante, too: Her sister, Elizabeth (Schuyler Fisk), who is wary of this strange boy who has come tentatively stumbling into Annabel's complicated life. You can't always trust a man, Elizabeth counsels, but Annabel knows she can trust this one.
All of the performances are pitched correctly. Nobody pushes too hard. Nobody underlines anything. Perhaps calmed by Van Sant, the characters seem peaceful, not troubled (as they should be). Few people can be this composed in the face of death. The most problematic character is Hiroshi, who has literally been dropped in from nowhere. Because he speaks English and knows about Nagasaki (which would have happened after his death), perhaps he is entirely an imaginary friend? In any event, Hiroshi and Enoch speak in matter-of-fact terms, as ordinary best pals.
Where Van Sant and the screenwriter Jason Lew found the idea for this story, I have no idea. It is wholly fresh and beguiling. It's not a facile fantasy or a dreamy romantic comedy, but an attempt by these two characters to steal a little happiness from the inexorable march of time. Much of it could play as a gentle romance. It's illness and the shadow of death that lend it poignancy.
The story raises some practical problems. Annabel's cancer functions primarily as a plot device. For much of the movie, it is kept in the background. We deduce from her close-cropped hair that she has had chemotherapy, a treatment that probably made her feel very sick indeed. Details of her progress and continued treatment are postponed or avoided, and in general, she seems in good health for a terminal cancer patient. They swim, they walk through nature, she extols Darwin, they kiss but are more ethereal than physical.
This is a film of escapism and consolation. Their time together, like the plot of "Love Story," depends on illness to elevate an ordinary romance into transcendence. That creates an uplifting story as long as the hard reality of cancer is kept off-screen. The posters for Errol Morris' movie "Gates of Heaven" quotes one of the characters: "Death is for the living and not for the dead so much." They could also be used on the posters for "Restless."
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Telefonica will promote Windows Phone devices to end iOS and Android 'duopoly'
Expect to see more Microsoft adverts
MOBILE OPERATOR Telefónica announced on Wednesday that it will heavily promote Windows Phone 8 devices to end what it called the "duopoly" of iOS and Android.
Expect to see more Nokia Lumia adverts, as Telefonica said today that it will "enhance marketing activities" for Microsoft's Windows Phone devices in Spain, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and here in the UK.
Telefónica, which operates under the O2 brand in the UK, said it has entered a strategic marketing agreement with Microsoft, with the mobile operator pledging to provide customers with "a more personal smartphone experience like Windows Phone offers".
It also said it will work with suppliers to make sure it has plenty of "high quality" Windows Phone devices available, which means it's looking to Nokia, Samsung and HTC, which apparently is planning to release a Windows Phone variant of its HTC One handset.
Telefónica said that by doing this, it hopes it will make the smartphone market "more competitive", putting an end to the dominance of iOS and Android devices. According to recent statistics, Android and iOS have 56.9 percent and 28.7 percent of the mobile market, respectively, with Windows Phone 8 dragging behind with an 8.4 percent market share.
"Promoting the use of Windows Phone 8 will benefit customers, as there will be more options to choose from while diluting the polarisation of installed base in operating platforms," Telefónica said.
Microsoft Windows Phone Division corporate VP Terry Myerson said, "We are excited to work with Telefónica to market Windows Phone 8 devices to more customers in the UK, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Chile, bringing them a more personal smartphone experience with the speed of Telefónica's network." µ

The Heart Test
Their result for The Heart Test ...
Slave to Your Heart
You are 20% Independent, 70% Idealistic, 70% Intimate, and 70% Indulgent!
The Slave to Your Heart
Dependent, Idealistic, Intimate, Indulgent
You are the most emotional of hearts, the Slave to Your Heart. You crave love, and have high standards for love. You are very intimate and value harmony with a mate. Sometimes you may feel that you are over-emotional and see this as a curse at times, because you are so emotionally-charged, and you so greatly desire love. You might want to break the emotional chains that bind you, but find that the ideals of love and intimacy are firmly shackled to you and cannot be severed.
Matches for the Slave to Your Heart:
The Bleeding Heart The Bleeding Heart is idealistic and indulgent as you are, and just as love-needy, making for lots of shared common ground. You'll also find the Bleeding Heart to be more passionate and fun-loving, something that at first might turn you off, but you will find this will provide a perfect balance to your intimate nature.
The Heart of Gold The Heart of Gold values harmony and unity just as you do, and shares your ideals of love and intimacy, but is more independent. The Heart of Gold will never leave you and always be there to love you, and this above all else you will appreciate. The Heart of Gold's loving nature will make you feel as if you have found someone to help carry your rattling emotional chains, and that they are glad to do it.
The Patron Saint's Heart The Patron Saint's Heart craves love just as you do and value harmony and togetherness as well, but is more down-to-earth and passionate than you. However, you will value these more sensual qualities, and the Patron Saint's more protective and loving nature will make you feel loved needed, something value greatly.
Your exact opposite is The Lord's Heart.
