I have been a loyal customer of Verizon for both my phone and internet use for over 10 years now. I've never swayed and have had only a few unfortunate issues over the years. So, despite the vast amount of warnings here, I decided to venture in to the all-inclusive bundle package for $99.99.
The Direct-TV tech was awesome. I have no complaints. He was professional and did an excellent job. The issue arose when I received my bill for $136.47. Now, that's only $36.48 more than what was agreed upon, but multiply it over the contract terms and we're looking at nearly $500.00. Besides, the money is not the point. Even with the $136.47, it's a better deal than the one I had when going through separate companies. The point is that there is an obvious ongoing pricing issue with Verizon that is not being cleared up.
I am giving them this single month pass. I've notified them via email with the details of the complaint. If it is not rectified, I will take matters into my own hands. I dislike purposeful incompetency, and if Verizon decides to take this road, I will NOT begin a class action lawsuit. Again, this isn't because of the money. That's not my style. I will however buy out my contract, pay any necessary fees, and then begin a crusade that will garner much attention. I will incorporate protests, rallies, petitions, local news channels, newspapers, websites (including my own), and enough negative publicity that it will get nationwide recognition. I will gather the names of the individuals that this has happened to and I will start enough ruckus that Verizon will change their mode of billing rather quickly.
I hope it doesn't come to this. I'd rather spend my days sipping iced tea, having fun with my friends, and watching the television that I'm paying for...but if I'm forced into a corner, I will start a legal attack on their company with the sole purpose of having them fix their billing practices completley.
Now....I've told you, what I have told them. Let's see if they do the right thing.

On November 6, 2012, Colorado passed Amendment 64, which radically changed the state's legal stance towards marijuana, reforming Colorado's laws to allow for recreational use of the drug. At the time, critics warned of potential negative consequences of the legislation. On January 1, 2014, establishments throughout the state began to sell marijuana to the general public. Twenty-eight months into this new paradigm, let's assess the impact the legalization has had on various aspects of public life. Were the critics right or not?

Skip to comments.Darwins bulldogThomas H. Huxley (ironically, he had no patience for Christian evolutionists)
Posted on 11/04/2009 8:25:01 AM PST by GodGunsGuts
Darwins bulldogThomas H. Huxley
Huxley, although an unbeliever, was thoroughly familiar with the gospel, and had little time for Christians who compromised their position by supporting the anti-biblical belief of evolutionary naturalism. He wrote: ...
(Excerpt) Read more at creation.com ...
POP! - CORN! Who wants popcorn? POPCORN HERE! .......
(sorry. this is always an energetic topic. fun to watch)
When you post such useless excerpts, why don't you provide a summary of the article or the point you're trying to make?
I think it is somewhat obvious what the article is about, even from the standpoint of a short excerpt.
A non-believer is of the opinion that 'Christians' should hold to what their Holy Bible says. Evolution, as a theory of life genesis and diversity, is a non-starter.
Genesis is the cornerstone, the first book of the Bible, and as such is under attack by those that would love to discredit the entire Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and God does not lie.
Those who profess to believe in Jesus and God, but who dismiss what the Bible says need to re-examine their faith. You are playing into the hands of liberals as well as the prince of this world. The Bible is to be accepted in its entirety, not cherry-picked for thos things you agree with or don't cause 'conviction' in your heart.
How on earth could you call the excerpt useless? It tells you exactly what you are about to read!
Thanks for sharing :o)
Do you believe you can drink deadly poison and live as the Bible states?
A review of The Doctrines of Genesis 111: A Compendium and Defense of Traditional Catholic Theology on Origins by Fr Victor P. Warkulwiz
Why couldn't you tack it onto one of the thousand threads you've already done about Darwin?
The basis of atheism isn't "great scientific knowledge" or "an understanding of evolution"... It's hatred of being judged. The atheist hates the judge and despises the righteousness of Christianity.
And that goes for everything else too. Basically, and I mean no offense to my atheist buddies, atheism is a cop out. And, by default, atheists are quitters.
Not all, though. Many atheists are actually reprehensible criminals, caught and uncaught. Some are like the people who abduct then rape and murder teenage girls. Some are like the people who work at abortion clinics. Some are political opportunists and activists.
But, in general, atheists are empty people.
We should pity them.
Your concern is touching...LOL!
No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man.....it is simply incredible to think that.....he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites."
(Thomas Huxley, 1871, Lay Sermons, Addresses and Reviews, Chap. ii)
Just about the most succinct if not damning statement one of Darwin's own contemporaries and acolytes could have possibly uttered. It is what Darwinism is ultimately all about -- the dehumanizing and exploitation of masses of perceived "lesser humans" by an elite. Little wonder Marx himself was so intrigued by the concept.
I beleive also as Jesus told Satan when tempted to step off the roof of a tall building, that Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Could Jesus have stepped off that building without harm? I do believe so, but why put God to the test? What makes you think any earthly being is worthy to put his Creator to the test?
Neither would I tempt the Lord by handling a venomous snake bare handed. Though I do rather enjoy their non-venomous brothers.
Here's a case for ya. I have an almost 8' Yellow Anaconda. Near his tail are two spurs, that, if you were to see a bare skeleton are what could very well be vestigial legs.
Aha!! See? Evolution!!! Evidence!!!! But wait......
In Genesis, that wily serpent lied, just enough to get Eve to eat of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. When she told God why she had eaten....
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Reading that, it would appear God removed the serpents legs for his part in this original sin. Not only that, but there does indeed seem to be 'enmity' between the seed of the serpent and the seed of that woman.
IOW, lumpen-bibliliteralist bigotry. Ill pass.
Will you, now?
Will you also pass on Huxley's view of Catholisim too?
"In addition to the truth of the doctrine of evolution, indeed, one of its greatest merits in my eyes, is the fact that it occupies a position of complete and irreconcilable antagonism to that vigorous and consistent enemy of the highest intellectual, moral, and social life of mankind--the Catholic Church"
- T.H Huxley, Darwiniana.
SO who's the real bigot there, Od?
It doesn't come close to what Martin Luther said about Jews.
Evolutionary biology is the truth observed in nature. How some people may misinterpret it, doesn't make it any less true.
"I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics, he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves. For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political."
Aldous Huxley: Ends and Means, pp. 270 ff.
Darwin has said stuff just as damning, but it's all good to the evos because he opposed slavery.
Why would any of your atheist buddies be offended by your references to them copping out, quitting, comparable (in many cases) to reprehensible criminals, child rapists and murderers, and empty people?
Why that would be like Christians being offended if someone were to reference them as arrogant, bigoted, self-righteous people totally full of themselves. And we know that never happens either.
That's why I said, "No offense intended to my atheist buddies."
But the rest of my post is after years and years of careful study and, albeit gently, I've informed my buddies of the findings I found.
The best of atheists just wants to deny the judge. The rest are incorrigible.
What did your studies turn up?
What did Martin Luther say about the Jews?
Evolution has NOT been observed. There are NO intermediary life forms shown. Adaptation has been observed. This is what Darwin observed, and the basis for his THEORY that adaptation would lead, over time to a change from one type of animal into another.
But that form change is NOT what can be found. Eohippus was a horse, small though it may have been. The descendants of Eohippus are STILL horses to this day, not pigs, or platypi.
I have yet to perfect what you have obviously overcome with your years of careful study on the subject - how to get colleagues and acquaintances, much less complete strangers, to discuss their atheism, and then have enough time to delve deeply into their heads to determine whether they want to deny the judge or are simply incorrigible.
I have known two people (both worked for the CIA incidentally) who are absolutely expert at getting others to open up about things they ordinarily would not discuss.
I admire that you have this quality as well, such that it has given you enough of a sample size to determine that only these 2 possibilities exist - deny the judge or incorrigible. It's quite impressive.
You are applying the simplest mistake in definitions. Darwin was right in his basic premise. Note the title of his work "Origin of Species." He discerned that speciation was the result of niche, isolation and competition. Key in here closely - darwinian evolution examines changes in a SPECIES over time. You Eohippus to modern horse is a nice example. Thank you for bringing it up. Note his book is not titled "Origin of Genus" or "Origin of Phylum."
Thank you for the compliment.
It's only with sadness that I report my findings. I like to think that atheists are basically like you and me but that they do not believe in any God.
I had a friend who proclaimed his atheism and he was a very funny guy. I trusted him too. But he somehow got ahold of my banking information and decided to help himself to the acct balance then he left. I never heard from him again.
So, I continued my studies. And I'm still studying.
But don't you notice the pattern? The absence of belief certainly frees up man's worst instincts and leaves those instincts free to do as they please. Notwithstanding the callous, vicious sociopathic murderer, but even the ordinary man who renounces his belief (and by default his allegiance) to doing the right thing.
For whatever reason, I have tons of atheists friends and they all find me to be an amusing and cool guy.
You just reminded me of one of my old professors many decades ago. He once told the class the dangers of generalization. He said that you can determine the worth of a paper by the breadth of it's conclusion. Usually the smaller the sample size the broader the conclusion. Any thesis including a single broad generalization went straight into the trash.
The parents of a hybrid species would be intermediary, or transitional by definition.
Of course, what you mean by an intermediary is probably a strawman anyway.
Yet evolution backers insist that those early horses could change species. That is my point, there is no evidence of one species changing to another. Adaptation is not evolution.
"For whatever reason, I have tons of atheists friends and they all find me to be an amusing and cool guy."
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 1 Corinthians 5:11
Who ever said horses didn't change species? Of course they did. But they remained the genus Equus.
A hybrid is not a transitional animal. I can breed my striped california kingsnake with my florida king and get hybrids. Not only are these hybrids still kingsnakes, they are still snakes, with no characteristics leading them to be anything else except kingsnakes.
No strawman here
I said the parents of the hybrid species are transitional. And not all hybrids are new species.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
It does not say that the animals were brought forth to change into things not of their kind. SOmething that was not a horse did not change into a horse.
So a three-toed cat sized forest dwelling animal turning into my 16 hand 1200 lb 1 hoof quarter does not represent a change (read evolution) in your mind?
Man has provided for the adaptation of all kinds of animals (see dogs, from Chihuahua to the Mastiff, from wild stock. ALL are still dogs/canines, NONE are now cats.) This is adaptation, not evolution. Show me a horse turning to a whale. A fish changing to a bird. Or perhaps even the liberal panacea of an ape changing to Man. No such population of 'transitory' animals existed, as evidenced by lack of fossil evidence.
Again, I must say that you are not properly applying the term evolution. The term adaptation is a synonym of evolution. By your statements you are professing a belief in evolution. You're trying to say since there are no fish-lizards or monkey-men then evolution doesn't exist. Your statement in light of proper use of the definitions is absurd.
Adaptation says that an existing life form can adapt, without changing WHAT IT IS. A fish is not going to adapt its way into a praying mantis. However, a fish can adapt to new er environment (Provided the change is not too extreme for the animal) and IT REMAINS A FISH.
Where did the existing life forms come from to do this adaptation? See Genesis.
your attempt to equate adaptation with evolution is not honest.
You really have no idea what is in "Origin of Species" do you?
I would suggest to you that you read the original treatise before you continue. Your examples are ludicrous only because you don't understand the basis. I would also suggest you look up adaptive traits - you'll find it included in the definition of evolution.
Here. I will link it for you.
Honestly, I do not NEED to know what Darwin wrote. Darwin is but a small protion of the entire issue.
Did life start spontaneously, a mixture of dead organics that miraculously combined in a very specific way that enabled it to 'live'.
Following that, did that new life, over millenia change from single cell status to the life we see today.
I say NO to this. I say the life forms wew see today (as well as those that are since extinct) were called into being in an act of creation.
Having said that, again, in regards to the larger issue, adaptation is NOT evolution. Mankind did not 'evolve' from some small primitive animal that 'might have' lived millions of years ago.
To echo your question, You really have no idea what is in Genesis and WHY it is so important to liberals and such that it be 'proven' untrue, do you?
Quite the opposite. I'm very familiar with both works. It's the 'head in the sand' attitude you've taken that makes this discussion so cathartic. Your don't "need to know what Darwin wrote" statement is very telling about the level of discussion that you're capable of. If you were going to write a book critique about Tom Sawyer would you also expect full credit for saying that since Samuel Clements used a pen name (a sure sign of a fraud) you can just guess at what's in the book and not have to read it.
You're suffering from willful ignorance. The only cure for which is to read what you are in opposition to so you can "intelligently design" your response.
While you may have a point on the surface, I am also opposed to socialism/communism. I have not read the works of Marx nor Mao, nor do I really intend to, I know, based on world experience their teachings are false and destructive.
It is not willful ignorance on my part to decline to read that which is false. I willfully choose to believe what is written in the Bible.
There is an ever increasing load of material that is beginning to refute the THEORY of Evolution. If you choose to continue to subscribe to the idea that life today is the result of millions, or billions of years of evolution, that is your call. You do yourself no favors.
I for one choose the bible as my truth. And Genesis, being the first book, the beginning of all, is under attack by those that would discredit the whole. As is the same within Conservatism, incremental compromise yields only disastrous results.
There is no compromise for this. Genesis is actually very specific. And is true.
While I agree with your defense of our values I hope that you would at least familiarize yourself with the material so that you can make solid arguments in support of your position. It will save you from making statements that would otherwise invalidate your very real concerns.
All the best.
Values aside, Adaptation is not Evolution. Apples and Oranges so to speak. I do know that Darwin wrote of how animals changed based on environmental pressures.
Case in point was a population of Finches whose beaks changed based on weather causing changes in seed characteristics.
Yet in the final analysis, the Finches were still Finches, not new animal forms.
Evolutionists have, at the core of their argument, the desire to refute Genesis by linking the 'evolution' of humans from apes. Were that to be true, the rest of the Bible just becomes a book of morality.
I stand by the requirement to PROVE evolution beyond a Theory. Until then, that is all it is. At least I can see the Theory of Gravity by dropping an apple. I've not seen nary a sliver of proof of animals changing beyond the minor adaptation. Surely there would be proof of some transitional form during the diversification that is theorized.

Before I make any adjustments to specific areas of this portrait, I'm going to adjust the overall tone and color here in the Basic panel of the Develop module. What I like about the Basic panel is that the sliders are pretty straight forward to use. You just drag them from their defaults of zero to the right or left, and they're set up in a workflow where you can just start at the top of the Basic panel and you work your way down through the sliders. I'm going to skip over the White Balance sliders because I'm pretty happy with the overall color cast of this image. It's a little bit blue and I like that because it reflects the weather that day.
I'll go straight down to the Tone section of the Basic panel and I'll start with the Exposure slider. The Exposure slider affects primarily the midtones in the image. So if I hover over the Exposure slider and you look up in the histogram up here at the top of the screen, you'll see that this area in the center of the histogram is highlighted. And that means this slider affects mostly the midtones in the image. I could either drag the slider or I can click on the value and then use the up arrow key on my keyboard to increase the exposure or the brightness of the midtones in small increments like that.
And then I'll go to the Contrast slider. I'd like to increase the contrast or the difference between the dark and bright tones in the image. So, again, I'm going to click in the value field for the Contrast slider and use the arrow keys on my keyboard to increase contrast just slightly. That gives me a little more control than dragging the sliders. Now, I want to take a minute to emphasize that there's no need for you to use the exact same values for your sliders that I'm using for mine. Your monitor may be calibrated differently than mine. It might be brighter, or not as bright as mine.
And, therefore, I urge you to use the values on all the sliders in this course that look best on your screen. You can use the directions in which I'm moving the sliders, but choose the values that you like best in your work environment. Next, I'm going to go to the Highlights slider. Hovering over this slider shows me that it's going to primarily affect the three-quarter tone highlights in the image. And I think those are a bit bright. For example, the highlight here on her nose and her forehead is making the skin tone a little less even than I would like it. So I'm going to take the Highlights slider and move it to the left.
You can see the histogram move as I do this and you can see the highlights in the image getting a bit darker. Now I can see more detail in the highlights as well. If I want to brighten up the three-quarter tone shadows in the image to see more detail in her coat, for example, I can move the Shadows slider over to the right, like that. If you take a look at the histogram panel, you can see that there are no bars, gray or color, over here on the right side of the histogram. And that means that there are no bright, pure whites in this image. So, I want to take the brightest tones in the image and move them over toward the right side of the histogram.
So that I don't go too far as I do that and blow out the bright whites, I'm going to click the highlight clipping warning triangle here in the histogram, and then I'll move down into the Basic panel again, I'll take the Whites slider and if I go too far to the right, you can see that I get these red marks on the image. And they indicate the brightest pixels in the image which have now been pushed so far to the right that they are pure white with no detail. I do want detail in most of those so I'm going to drag my Whites slider back over to the left, maybe to just about there, and then I'll turn off my highlight clipping warning.
And if I want the darkest areas in the image to be even darker adding contrast, I'll take the Blacks slider and I'll drag that one over to the left. I'm not as concerned about losing detail in the very dark blacks so I'll often drag the Blacks slider a bit to the left particularly when I've opened up the shadows so that I get the contrast or the pop that I want in the image. Now, let's do a before and after so we can see how far we've come by pressing the backslash key on the keyboard which is three keys to the right of the P key. So that's where we started, a nice image but a little flat.
And now there's more contrast or pop in the image. If I scroll down, I can access the Presence sliders. If I wanted to add more contrast in the midtones, I would drag the Clarity slider over to the right. But, with portraits, I often want to do the opposite. I want to soften the model's skin tones. So I'm going to drag the Clarity slider not to the right, but rather over to the left, giving the model's skin this nice, soft glow. And finally, if I want to increase the intensity of color in the image, I can use either the Saturation slider or the Vibrant slider.
Saturation saturates all the colors equally and it usually doesn't do a great job on a portrait as you can see here when I drag it to the right. So I'm going to put the Saturation slider back to zero. You can set any slider to zero by double-clicking its title. And then I'll take the Vibrant slider instead, and I'll drag Vibrant slightly over to the right, to get a little more color intensity while protecting the skin tones. So, those are the adjustments that I'm going to make to the image overall in the Basic panel. I'd like to save this state of the image as a snapshot. So I'll go over to the Snapshots panel and I'll click the plus symbol there, and then I'll name this snapshot.
I'll call this 2 basic, and click Create. So if I ever want to get back to this state of my retouching workflow, I can do that by clicking on the basic snapshot. There are a couple more things I want to do to the image globally or overall. One of those is to add a tone curve to tone down some of the brighter highlights in the model's face. And I'll show you how to do that next.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This is a story about saving Bletchley Park, one of the UK's most important sites of historical significance. It begins with Alan Turing and the team of codebreakers who worked there during World War II, and it ends with plans to transform it into the world class heritage and education centre it deserves to be. In between is the story of the hundreds of people who have dedicated years of hard work and determination to save it.
This is also a story about technology, and how it can be employed to extraordinary effect. Bletchley Park was the birthplace of the modern computer – 70 years later, this technology enabled a social media campaign that helped to secure Bletchley Park's long term future. That same technology will also help to fund this book – a fitting testament to the achievements of this remarkable team of computing pioneers.
In this book, you'll learn about some of the mysterious work that took place at Bletchley Park, and the significance this had to the outcome of World War II. You'll also find out about Alan Turing – technology pioneer, mathematical genius and one of the most remarkable Britons who ever lived. It's also the story of the thousands of women who worked at Bletchley Park – an inspiration for the growing number of women working in the field of computing and technology.
But what this book is mostly about is the 20 years of campaigning to save Bletchley Park by hundreds of extraordinary people, and how casually it seems that some of our most significant historical sites can be swept away to make room for housing estates or supermarkets. It's a book about campaigners, veterans, enthusiasts and computer geeks, as well as Twitter, trees, and Stephen Fry stuck in a lift.
On more than one occasion Bletchley Park has been in the shadow of bulldozers, but it still stands as a testament to those who worked there during World War II, and those who have tirelessly campaigned to save it. During the many years that Bletchley Park's future has hung in the balance, the campaign has been kept alive by the unerring belief that something so significant to our wartime victory in 1945 should be preserved for future generations.
The journey has been over 70 years in the making, and it makes for a really quite extraordinary story. In this book, I'm going to attempt to tell it.
10% of all profits from this project will go to Bletchley Park.
All the best adventure stories have a catalyst - the defining moment that provides the spark that ignites the fuse that blows the plot wide open. For my adventure, the turning point was 3rd February 2009.Read more...

When will this book be delivered? I need it for Christmas please.
Hi Toni-Sue,
Saving Bletchley Park is now in the production/design stages. We will not have books ready in time for christmas 2014 but are working hard to get the book ready for subscribers as soon as we can. This is currently looking like summer/autumn of 2015.
Best wishes,

At the risk of appearing churlish the response suggesting that it will take a further six to nine months to produce a book that is written and in the production / design stages is crazy. The bottom of this page says "Published 01/2015" which suggests the book should be available in January or is this wrong? There is also further confusion when the format is listed as "Paperback" yet what many people have paid for is a Hardback version.
This is a good and worthwhile project but the delays, conflicting and limited information about exactly when the book is going to be published and in what form is very worrying.
Can Unbound confirm please whether our deposits are held in escrow?
An update from Sue on progress and delivery dates would be appreciated too please.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for getting in touch. The information that is on the right hand side is what comes from our warehouse for the trade edition. The date is incorrect, and needs to be updated so thanks for pointing that out.
The subscriber edition most definitely will be a beautiful hardback and we are hard at work editing and designing this. There were some unforeseen delays with the manuscript but we are confident that the book will now be the best that it can be. All being well the books will be sent out to subscribers in early summer 2015 at the very latest and you can see Sue's most recent update here: http://unbound.co.uk/books/saving-bletchley-park/updates/turing-s-bombe-and-the-women-of-station-x. The money pledged is held in escrow until the book is funded. If you would prefer a refund however, please contact us via unbound.co.uk/support.
Best wishes,

I pledged for two books before this was fully funded. Both recipients have since changed address. How can I amend the address details so that they still receive their copy?
Kind regards,
Hi Vicky,
To check or change an address all you need to do is log into the website, go to the 'Your Account' page, and click the link labelled 'change contact detail/s'.

It's a shame that fully funded at 181% the book won't be delivered until Summer 2015. However, more disappointing is the scarcity of shed updates. Please will the author further support for Bletchley Park by maintaining our interest via the shed before the book eventually reaches us?
Hi Ruth,
Unbound are aiming for Spring 2015 publication, the manuscript is currently being edited. I'd be very happy to write more shed posts, I'll get going on one right away :) Let me know if there are particular topics that you would like me to write about.
Best wishes and thanks for your support
It's been three Christmas presents come and gone so far. Won't hold my breath and learned a lesson about future use of unbound
Hi Mike,
We're really sorry for the delay with this book. As Sue says, the good news is that the book is now in editorial and we are working hard to make this a book as fast as we can. We're currently aiming to have this out to subscribers by summer 2015. Apologies again for the delay.
Thank you for your response, Sue.
If I knew what you should write about in a shed update I would probably be the author of a book on Unbound myself.
Even a nature update on Bletchley Park wildlife might pique subscribers' interest! Probably more suited to you would be titbits from the book itself. Or perhaps tech hints?
Little and often, short and sweet are my main suggestions.
All the very best
Thanks very much Ruth, I shall write one now :)
Best regards
Hi Sue,
Am wondering if there is a recent update about the book.
I can imagine everyone is busy but it would be appreciated if there would be more frequent updates about this book. From the previous comments I gather I am not alone in this...
Hi Jacky,
Thanks for you comments and support, I'll write an update now.
Best regards
No dates on the questions and/or responses?
No target amount shown for the funding?
Can I see whether I am confirmed as having contributed to the funding?
Can you point to other successfully published books (actually received by real customers) please?
Hi Roger,
Thanks for getting in touch. I have had a look and you are definitely down as a supporter for Saving Bletchley Park. You can also check this yourself, and see which level of support you went for, in your account here: http://unbound.co.uk/account. (Please note that you will need to sign in to your Unbound account first to access this page.)
We have published and dispatched 46 titles so far and if you like you can view these here: http://unbound.co.uk/books?states=Published. As for the target amount, this is calculated with the editor and the author, but we feel that having the target in number of pledges needed rather than a monetary value makes people feel personally involved in the publishing process. I hope this helps and if I can help you further please contact email@example.com.

Hi - so you're latest response above says "All being well the books will be sent out to subscribers in early summer 2015 at the very latest". As we just started June can we have an update on your latest best guess please? I am hoping for the gift for an upcoming July birthday but fearful that this will be the 3rd birthday to pass when I can't deliver since sponsoring. TIA
Hi Virginia,
Thanks for getting in touch. We sent an update about the book out last week. All being well, the book is now going to be ready in October 2015 and we're doing everything we can to get books out as soon as we can.
If there is anything else we can help you with please get in touch via unbound.co.uk/support.

No recent updates on when we can expect the book - its been a long time coming since I first signed up in 2012. Can we expect it before December 31st 2015?
Not very happy with how long this has taken and lack of updates.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for getting in touch and apologies for the time taken to create this book. The good news is that the books are now at the printers and are due to arrive in our warehouse in early December 2015. Our warehouse will then be dispatching the books as soon as they can. We will send an update to subscribers when the books have been dispatched letting you know when to expect your copy.

I'm honoured and proud to be supporting a work which otherwise might well not have appeared, and also hugely pleased to be an early participator in the rising wave of funded publishing, sliding out from the grip of the huge predatory traditional publishers and handing the baton back to the authors and readers. Perhaps the carpers above are not fully recognising this: there are plenty of excellent and interesting Christmas-present books on Amazon, but we are supporting a brave attempt to reinvent publishing, where authors and readers can interact. The writing of a well-researched non-fiction work (I speak as a PhD student) is painfully long, and then the production process of a printed work is still elaborate, despite digital printing. Printed books are a very fixed set of words and so unlike a website need meticulous checking before large-scale production, not to speak of the process of organising page layout, paper type, cover content and style, etc. I can cheerfully wait for this book!
Thanks very much for your support Jill :)
PS Are you attending http://celebratingbletchleypark.co.uk/ in Sussex in March? If not, how about offering yourself to the organisers as a speaker?
Thanks Jill, I've sent the link to Unbound, they are organising my book related speaking events.
I hope you enjoy the book, let me know what you think :)
Any news on when books will be dispatched?

Hi Sue
Congrats on the OBE and it is great to hear the book is published.
Please remind me how it works...if I pledged many moons ago, does a copy automatically get sent to me now, or do I have to apply?
Hi Ash,
Thanks for getting in touch. Due to the time elapsed for many since pledging, we need supporters to confirm their addresses before we send their book out. We've sent a couple of emails about this so please do check your inbox.
Best wishes,

This book is now published. You can still pledge, but you won't get listed as a supporter in the back.

Remembering April 16th
One year ago today, 32 Virginia Tech students and faculty lost their lives in the worst school shooting in our nation's history. Tech will be honoring the victims of this tragedy today with special events and webcasts. And a dedicated web site will continue the remembrance in the future.
Shortly after the events of a year ago, the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at Virginia Tech along with the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University created the April 16 Archive to be used for "collecting and preserving the stories of the Virginia Tech tragedy."
Over the past year the archive has grown into a diverse collection of over 1,600 items: op-eds and articles (in English, Romanian, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese, and more), blog posts, poetry and artwork, screenshots from Second Life, audio, original/official university e-mails, and more.

If you read this blog with regularity, you know we focus a lot on long range weather patterns and prediction of said patterns. We've been under the influence of an El Nino, for the past several months. However, this is rapidly changing. Below is a map that shows current sea surface temperature anomalies:
As you can read from the legend, the yellow, orange, and red colors indicate warmer than normal sea surface temperatures. That small yellow stripe across the equatorial Pacific Ocean is what is left of our El Nino. After two really dry Winter's here in Southern Colorado, El Nino blessed us with adequate snowfall and more than adequate snowfall for some places. This was courtesy of the southern branch of the jet stream being active. The typical El Nino pattern is pictured below:
Notice how it keeps the southern tier of the country pretty wet and cool. Southern Colorado was on the northern fringe of the active storm track and reaped some of the benefits. Now some would say that it didn't benefit us at all. Colorado Springs only picked up 32" of snow for the Winter and Pueblo only 29". Granted, those totals are below normal, but not as below normal as last Winter. Plus, we have seen some decent rain this Spring, and that has helped to keep the drought away.
In fact, the only droughty spots in the state reside in parts of the northern mountains and the northwest part of the state. Otherwise, we are in pretty good shape. Good news, as we continue to head through Spring...
However, I am afraid of what may happen later in the Summer and into the Fall and Winter season of 2010. El Nino is going to go away, and be replaced by the drought producing La Nina.
The graph above illustrates how quickly and dramatically El Nino is likely to come to an end. Notice how all of the red lines drop to below normal sea surface temperatures and in a pretty noticeable fashion. If the above model forecast is correct, we should slip into La Nina conditions somtime in July. I believe the above model forecast to be correct. Why? If you go back and read my previous post on the PDO and AMO, you will understand: http://www.kktv.com/blogs/talkweather/55529787.html Simply put, the current state of the PDO supports more frequent and long lasting La Nina's. Not good for Southern Colorado.
As you can see, the La Nina favored pattern includes a big blocking ridge of high pressure, that sends most of the good storms to our north. We see a lot of downsloping wind, dry air, and subsequent drought is easy to achieve. The Winter's of 2005-06, 2007-08, and 2008-09 were influenced by La Nina conditions and our snowfall totals sufferred. Unfortunately, I see La Nina coming back and bringing the potential for a dry and hot late Summer, dry and windy Fall and Winter. Can we get enough early monsoon moisture to offset this trend? That is the wildcard, in which I am not yet sure. Should know in the next month or so though... Stay tuned.

Agreed. I like the style, the art direction, the tone but unfortunately I don't think this is a bright idea. Guess the art direction saved the day on this one.

During the months of October and November, Mizzen+Main was able to contribute to Veterans in massive ways with your help!
October was our Breast Cancer Initiative. With every shirt purchased during the last week of October, we donated $10 to our local Dallas VA Hospital's women's center. We got the opportunity to visit the VA this week to give them our donation and see how it would be used. Veteran women are at a higher risk for developing breast cancer, so our donation went straight to the Mammography Department. We were completely overwhelmed by the amount of men and women who have served our country that are in need of medical attention. Being able to be a part of helping the VA is something we are extremely proud of!
CMO, Jen Lavelle and VA Employee, Daniel Thouvenot
November hosts Veterans Day in the US. Since our company's inception, we have held the belief that Veterans are of the upmost importance in our economy. Naturally, we hold this holiday very close to our hearts. This was the third year we have done Henleys 4 Heroes and this year was by far the best. We donated tons of henleys to veterans through this initiative. We started locally at, Adaptive Training Foundation. Retired NFL Line Backer, David Vobora started ATF in 2014 with a very specific rehabilitation program for wounded warriors.
"David recognized a void in the process to living an active and fulfilling life post-injury. While there are many excellent rehabilitation programs as well as adaptive/Paralympic sports organizations, none existed to bridge the gap from basic functional rehabilitation to adapted sport through individually customized performance training." -ATF
Team Members with David Vabora and US Veterans
As we approach the end of the holiday season, we are saddened by the amount of men and women whom need help upon their return home. To close out 2015, we are gathering gifts for veteran's and their families that can't do it themselves this year. It is our wish that our friends, family and customers not only give generously during the holidays, but all year round. See you in 2016 with many new exciting Veteran gifting opportunities to be a part of.

I was on two Division I National Championship Wrestling Teams at Penn State. So wrestling was my main way to stay in shape for most of my life. While living in the UK the last 20 months I coached MMA fighters in wrestling. I am very politically correct when it comes to working out, I do not discriminate fitness. Lifting weights, trail running, road races, hiking, all yoga, HIIT, circuit training, I will give anything a shot.
Staying active can mean many things and I also stay active by traveling. I have been in 16 countries and 8 U.S. states while living in London the last 20 months. You can see some of my adventures on Instagram #ClaysYay
What keeps you motivated?
My morning routine keeps me motivated.
I wake up every morning with a fist pump and a smile. It starts my days off with enthusiasm. Then I pray for 3 things I am grateful for and 3 things I need help with.
The first thing that I do when I open my computer is a goal achievement process called ACHI3VE. This helps me put into place what is important and what to focus on today in order to reach the long term goals. ACHI3VE helps me keep motivated, focused and consistent.
Finally I write my personal mission statement on paper to remind myself what is most important.

Who inspires you most?
Several people within my network are training to win the 2016 Olympics. They are currently inspiring me in fitness the most since they are working to be the best in the world at what they do, tough to get more inspiring than that.
Chris Sacca inspires me from a business prospective. I truly believe that he is trying to improve the world with his ventures and our principles are aligned almost identically. From his work with Charity Water to how much effort he puts into his investments at LOWERCASE capital I am working towards similar goals that Chris Sacca has already achieved.
Lastly my dad, a great artist and amazing father, really inspires me. He puts his boys and wife before himself and strives to be better and do more every year. I hope to be a lot like him when I am his age.
What's your favorite Mizzen+Main product?
I love my Mizzen+Main Whitman Light Blue shirt. I only have had my Mizzen+Main shirts for less than a week and have already put in an order for 3 more. So we will see what I like most after the new ones arrive.
I honestly feel like I have found the best dress shirt ever. My Whitman is not just my most comfortable dress shirt but my most comfortable shirt. I have been buying all the top end shirts and getting them tailored for the last few years. I get a tare in them within a few months mostly on the elbow. I am uncomfortable in them since I have worn workout clothes my entire life before getting into business. I also sweat through my old dress shirts on a hot day. I often question whether I even belong in a dress shirt at all. With my Mizzen+Main shirt I felt like I belonged in it right when I put it on. I feel like every athlete should own Mizzen+Main and ex-athletes crushing the business world should have their closets full these products. Thank you so much for creating something that I feel like is just for me!
What pattern or garment would you most like to see from Mizzen+Main?
I love the patterns and everything that Mizzen+Main currently offer, but would love to have the a collar that buttons down for all the collared shirt products and patterns. The button down collar looks cleaner when you are not wearing a tie. Thank you for your consideration on this, I appreciate your constant improving attitude.
Where's homebase?
San Antonio, TX
Tell us a bit about yourself:
I fell into the real estate industry here in South Texas about a year ago after a three year stint trading stocks and commodities for an NYC based prop firm. Insatiably curious about the world, love to travel, and always on the lookout for life changing experiences. I'll be the first to admit, I'm crazy OCD about stuff. If a bird poops on my car, I literally have to stop everything I am doing and go wash it off immediately. My entire life is pretty much organized into a spreadsheet of some sort. Thankfully I have a wonderful girlfriend who is willing to put up with my occasional spontaneous freak out moment.
How do you stay active?
I run two miles every morning and put a basic weightlifting routine in motion when I get home from work. I'm not jacked or anything, but I'm in pretty good shape.
What keeps you motivated?
Planning out my next trip, wherever that may be. Experiences over possessions, always.
What is your twitter handle?
I'm a lurker, but not actively Tweeting.
Who inspires you most?
Steve Jobs and Elon Musk
What's your favorite Mizzen+Main product?
I've only tried the Gingham Spread Collar Dress Shirts, which are absolutely outstanding. Been a Brooks Brothers customer for years, but I can't say I'll be buying shirts from there ever again.
What pattern or garment would you most like to see from Mizzen+Main?
I'm a simple guy and I like simple shirts. Surprise me.
"PS: This is my first (and last) selfie ever to be posted in a public forum. so please enjoy while it lasts Mizzen and
Where's homebase?
Home base is Dallas Texas, I've been living here since 2011 and have really come to love the city.
Tell us a bit about yourself:
I'm an Operations Geologist for an oil company based out of Las Colinas and a Red Raider Alumni.
How do you stay active?
I stay active by being a member and athlete at Crossfit Big D. So if I'm not crossfitting I'm usually swimming or random activities with friends.
What keeps you motivated?
Motivation changes over the years; from wanting to compete, to just wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, to avoiding being 31 and looking 31! At the end of the day, being healthy, physically and mentally is what's most important.
What is your twitter handle?
No twitter handle!!!! Just Instagram (Texastechdw) and Facebook
What's your favorite Mizzen+Main product?
I love the new Comanche henley, especially the hooded ones. But my all time favorite is the Pink Gingham!
What pattern or garment would you most like to see from Mizzen+Main?
I really liked the change in look of the Fall collection and have always wanted to see some darker, more diverse colors out side of the lighter spring look. Thankfully Mizzen + Main has just done that with the addition of the Davenport and Montauk! Next, I would love to see a polo or some new T shirts that help donate to The Seal Foundation and other Military charities.
Be on the lookout for new arrivals to our Leeward Collection soon!
Mizzen+Main sponsored The Capital Club's annual Sinatra Soiree on August 1st in DC. The night before we held a customer appreciation happy hour at Provisions 14 with some of our DC based Main Men and Women. We finally got the opportunity to shake hands with them and welcome them to the Mizzen+Main family. We'd love to throw a happy hour in your hometown. Where should we go next?

|Many advanced plasma diagnostic techniques and plasma models require fundamental physical data in order to make accurate measurements or predictions. Fundamental electron-interaction data are among the most critical since electron collisions are the primary source of ions, reactive radicals, and excited species present in etching, cleaning, and decomposition plasmas. In this paper we present (i) a description of some semiconductor applications that require fundamental electron-interaction data, (ii) an explanation of the NIST program to provide these data, (iii) a summary of the available fundamental electron-interaction data for plasma processing gases, and (iv) a discussion of general data needs.

So my employer has been using HyperDB for some time now, which I've been tweaking to add some little bugfixes/features (bugfixes for *our* implementation).
What I need to do now:
1. "Hide" a database instance (possibly using $wpdb->add_database(array()) )
2. Identify "slow queries" (we call them "Cursed Queries") using SQL comments (//done)
3. Force HyperDB to use the VIP/hidden database instance when a Cursed Query arrives - unless of course it follows a write (the write override is default to HyperDB)
4. Disable future connections from using the VIP until it has freed it's result
So... looks like 1,3,4 are where I'm having trouble. I have been able to identify the Cursed Queries (super-simple), but creating and hiding a database instance (which would get added to the $dbh via $hyper_servers, I'd imagine) is throwing me.
I can't use the "dataset" to my customization as it's used for sharding (which we don't do), and I'd really rather not hard-code my DB instance info into the db.php HyperDB code itself.
Ideally, I'd like to identify the Cursed Query (readonly && not following a write) and override the chosen database server (I could just clear out all the db servers in the stack, run my query with the only 'newly added' db server, and then re-add the originals, right?).
Anyone with some smart ideas? I'm spinning my wheels here, and the sprint task had me at completing this in 2 days (ha!).

Gallery Design Celebrates with an Exclusive Event Targeting Architects and Designers
The first multi-line interiors showroom in the Middle East offering internationally renowned brands celebrates with a unique event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 08, 2014 -(PressReleasePoint)- Gallery Design – The first multi-line interiors showroom in the Middle East offering internationally renowned brands celebrates with a unique event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The event, which will take place between the 5th and 8th of May will highlight Gallery Design's international brands as well as new additions that are being showcased – some for the first time in Saudi Arabia.
The opening reception will include a special talk by suppliers' representatives. The event will also have Maserati's model range including their newly launched Maserati Ghibli, a car that held breath of all – customers, fans and competitors alike. The Ghibli is considered as one of the corner stones of Maserati's future – the first ever luxury sports executive sedan from Maserati, a car that appeals to the heart, the head and the soul. The outline of the body reflects a coupé-like philosophy for the four-door sedan, while there are noticeable feline hints around the Ghibli's grille and headlights. The pronounced grille draws a line back to the iconic A6 GCS of the 1950s. The shape of the headlights converges onto the Trident symbol, with every angle designed to attract the eye to Maserati's legendary marque.
The Ghibli enters the E-segment of the sports premium market with a tangible advantage in cabin craftsmanship and detailing. It also sets itself apart with a unique, cockpit-inspired dashboard design that perfectly matches its sporty and youthful character without compromising on the highest level of refinement and sophistica- tion. Key elements such as the 8.4" Maserati Touch Control and the fine Poltron Frau® leather finish underline the cabin's timeless sporting character. Optional features include the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins high end audio system, WLAN based WiFi and a wide range of customization options that cater for the most demanding individuals.
About Gallery Design:
First multi-line interiors showroom in Middle East offering internationally renowned brands now open in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Due to his aggressive, high-energy style, Arturo Vidal is affectionately referred to by the Italian press as 'Il Guerriero', which translates as 'The Warrior'.
The battle-hardened moniker is more than justified – only two midfielders bettered the Chile international's 4.1 tackles-per-match in Serie A last season, as detailed below:
Likewise, Vidal made the most tackles-per-match of any player involved in last year's Champions League tournament:
These kind of challenges have become the 27 year-old's trademark:
He does have a habit of occasionally overstepping the mark however. Believe it or not, this horror tackle was during an international friendly:

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease
Diabetes is a condition that affects how insulin is produced and used in the body. Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar. When you have diabetes, your body does not produce enough insulin or can't use it properly. Over time, this condition can speed up the hardening and narrowing (atherosclerosis) of the coronary arteries. This results in coronary artery disease.
People who have diabetes are more likely to have coronary artery disease than people who do not have diabetes.
If you have diabetes and coronary artery disease, there are things you can do to help lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Manage your diabetes and have a healthy lifestyle. Be active. Take medicines to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and don't smoke.1

Scottsdale to vote on $11 million museum
PHOENIX — City council members are scheduled to discuss the final design deal on the Scottsdale Museum of the West on Tuesday.
The city would pay up to $11,360,000 to build the two-story museum at the northwest corner of Marshall Way at First Street. Scottsdale would own the museum while a private group would run it.
The 43,000 square foot museum will display exhibits focused on the meeting of the "Old West with the New West." Supporters say it will boost tourism in the Gallery and Old Town Districts.
The council meeting begins at 5 p.m. at City Hall Kiva Forum, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd., Scottsdale.
According to the city's website, the museum and exhibition venue will:
• Become a world-renowned museum displaying cultural and artistic artifacts and exhibits displaying the meeting of the "Old West with the New West";
• Provide an enriched visitor attraction that will expand the current number of tourists visiting Scottsdale, thereby expanding Scottsdale's tourism industry;
• Provide an additional venue for tourists and visitors already enjoying Scottsdale and give them another cultural opportunity;
• Augment and support an already world-renowned fine arts district;
• Grow into a focal point for an enriched cultural center for the arts district;
• Energize and enrich an area of the city, now abandoned, as a transit center underutilized as a public venue;
• Provide synergy with the Scottsdale Artist School, offering opportunities for collaboration in educational activities and programs;
• Augment and support an already rich and diverse, mixed-use residential and retail area.
