Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl review -
Product Showcase
When we flip around the unit we can see the side panel a little better. Very simple with a mesh where you can install an additional fan. Right now there is sound dampening material there though, but you could move that out quite easily as these fan mount pads are removable.
There are a total of 7 fan positions (1x 120mm + 1x 140mm in front, 2x 120/140mm in top, 1x 120mm in bottom, 1x 120mm in rear, 1x 120/140mm in side panel). Two fans have been pre-installed, these are hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fan, 1000 RPM speed (included). As you can see the front bezel panel door also has sound dampening materials.
After you open up the front door at the top next to the 5.25" drive bays you'll notice a small switch, this is the three-speed fan controller and supports up to 3 fans. This is as simple as a fan controller can be really, but hey it works and realistically, how often do you change a fan RPM setting ?
The panel can be removed be removing two thumbnails at the back and then pull it towards you, it is the old traditional way of chassis panel removal. The size of the chassis by the way is is chassis is (WxHxD): 232 x 464 x 523mm with a Net weight of 12,3 kg, making it a rather heavy chassis.
Have a look at that thick sound-absorbing material optional one could mount and extra fan here as well as that 120/140mm sound dampening pad is secured with four screws.
The backside then. Next to the rear IO we spot a 140mm fan. All fans in this chassis can be PWM fan controlled as the Define R4 has that little fan controller delivered with it, so you can go really silent, normal or choose for maximum performance at the cost of noise. The chassis has 7+1 card slots. The vertical slot could be used for some extra USB connectors or something to that extend.
The matte black paint job is terrific a little sensitive to scratches though. But again, style wise you hardly can beat this chassis. Fractal Design offers the chassis in three color themes: Black Pearl, Titanium Grey, Arctic White.
Fractal Design released the Focus G series chassis. Armed with a budget price this is a silent, decent looking and compact PC chassis series. The predominantly black and chassis (optional colors) come...

BRIGHTLINGSEA Regent have found themselves in the glare of the national media spotlight.
The Thurlow Nunn League club are busy preparing for tomorrow's huge FA Vase fourth-round tie at home to Bodmin Town, from Cornwall.
And one story has captured the attention of both the national press and radio.
It concerns the club's new 107-seater stand, bought on eBay, and transported to north Essex from the Isle of Wight.
The stand has only been used once before, for a tennis tournament, and will be in place for tomorrow's tie.
It is thought to have cost around £5,500.
The story was first reported in the Gazette but has now been picked up by BBC Essex, BBC Radio 5 Live, TalkSport and the national press, who have been busy interviewing Regent chairman Terry Doherty and manager James Webster.
"It's been crazy and great for the club," said Webster.
Meanwhile, the club are very confident tomorrow's game will go ahead as planned, despite heavy rain overnight and this morning.
Webster said: "The game will be on.
"The pitch is very wet but playable and we still have another 24 hours."
Bodmin are thought to have started their 350-mile journey from Cornwall.
They are staying overnight near Brightlingsea.
Meanwhile, Brantham Athletic's Vase tie at Sussex side East Preston has been postponed, after the pitch failed a 12.30pm inspection.

The Chatham-Kent Wind Action Group (CKWAG) is a coalition of concerned residents from across the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, Ontario, who believe the recent proliferation of industrial wind projects will have a negative impact on the community. The massive size of industrial wind turbines conflicts with the scale and character of the Chatham-Kent landscape. CKWAG is dedicated to preserving the beautiful rural character of Chatham-Kent and the quality of life of its inhabitants by insisting on proper wind turbine setback distances.
CKWAG believes that improper siting of industrial wind turbines will result in the loss of our beautiful rural landscape, wildlife habitats and migration routes, peace, quiet, and health of our citizens, and future economic development opportunities.
Through conservation of electricity, preservation of our natural areas, and re-vegetation efforts, Chatham-Kent can make a larger contribution to protecting the environment than the industrialization of our countryside ever could. CKWAG would like the Municipality of Chatham-Kent to establish proper industrial wind turbine setbacks to protect our population and unique locale.

Re "The charity fairy: Charity care won't solve the problem" (Our View, March 13):
Your editorial opposing HB391, the bill that would have banned Utah's participation in the expanded Medicaid program, made some important points about the inadequacy of charity medical care, but didn't go nearly far enough.
What a shame that doctors and hospitals are all that you mentioned. Utahns also need and benefit from care by dentists, optometrists, physical therapists, dietitians, nurse practitioners and mental health professionals. With respect to mental health care, a vast body of research demonstrates that physical and mental health directly affect each other.
Our society has succumbed to the philosophy of materialism. We are obsessed with material objects and physical comforts. In the future, I hope you'll remember that health consists of multiple dimensions (not just our bodies), and that physicians aren't the only ones who provide important health care to Utahns.

While I have not personally endured the chaos of a similar event, I know a number who have of late. The one thing I tell them all (bride and groom alike) is to try to remember to enjoy the day. I have seen too many who let the pressure and stress get to them, making what should be one of the happiest days of their lives miserable.

As diners, we we want our food to come with a story. A cookbook being launched next week by Brisbane's Romero Centre, certainly has plenty of those served up with its recipes; some quite poignant.
The centre, which offers support to refugees and asylum seekers, has put together The Story of Food with recipes collected from Australians and people who have come here to live and have been associated with the centre.
Often, memories are all they have brought with them, along with a longing for food from home. Najeeba Najeeba from Afghanistan talks of how, at 14 she learnt to make bolani, a potato and chive flatbread.
"It was 2000-2001 and I was studying nursing and living in a hospital dormitory. I was studying with 20 other women and 20 men, including my brother. During that time the Taliban ruled Afghanistan and we had to study undercover because women were not allowed to be educated. When the Taliban came to check the hospital an alarm would go off and all the female students would have to hide in the rooms and close the curtains. If the Taliban discovered us they would shoot the manager and we would be sent home... On weekends, all the women would prepare something special in the kitchen. This is what we did for fun as women were not allowed to have any leisure activities outside. It was here that I first cooked bolani. Before that my family cooked it for me, so I learnt how to make it at the hospital."
Other recipes in the book include serig to (Burmese fresh salad) and mahshi (stuffed eggplants and zucchini from Saudi Arabia), as well as other family favourites from Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Colombia and Venezuela.
Faiza el-Higzi, the multicultural advocacy and community development manager of Mercy Family Services, says that she and the book's other contributors have revisited their stories and memories of family gatherings to gather the recipes.
"By sharing these recipes with you we hope that you use them to create delicious food and share it with those close to you, and in so doing honour our relatives and friends who cooked for us with love," she says
The Story of Food will be launched on Monday November 11 at Avid Reader in Brisbane's West End, and will sell for $15.

The country's universities spend $280 million a year on meeting the compliance requirements of federal and state governments, according to a Universities Australia (UA) submission to the federal opposition's Deregulation Taskforce.
The representative body said the costs included a typical university having 15 to 20 dedicated staff to meet the requirements of 100 separate state and federal acts governing their operations.
"Australia's university sector is one of the most regulated in the country, imposing an enormous cost and administrative burden," said UA chief executive
To reduce the burden, UA called for a national university data centre managed by a single government department to centralise all data collections from universities and avoid overlaps.
It also proposed that any proposals for new data collection from universities be required to pass a cost-benefit test.
The submission urged the opposition, should it win government at the September 14 election, to establish a Productivity Commission review of the regulatory burden on universities, including the duplications between state and federal jurisdictions.
Among the present red-tape burdens on universities are:
■ A requirement by the Queensland government on all universities in that state to report each time a staff member travels overseas and to report on all contracts entered into valued at more than $10,000;
■ A planned requirement on universities to report each student's course specialisation to government each year, even though many universities don't require this to be chosen until the second or third year;
■ Various reporting periods for different types of government funding, either quarterly, half yearly or annually;
■ Highly detailed requirements for research grant applications, estimated by UA to cost as much as 30 per cent to 40 per cent of total funds allocated; and
■ Lack of co-ordination in reporting on Co-operative Research Centres, leading to some universities making 50 or more reports every year.
The UA submission to the federal opposition follows a government report published last week on universities' reporting requirements to one government agency, the then Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education. The report, by consultants Phillips KPA, found universities together allocated about 66,000 staff days and $26 million in 2011 to meet 18 of 46 reporting requirements.
The UA submission estimates the cost to universities of all regulation by all levels of government.
It said there was "no clear shared vision between governments and universities about the overall purpose of what is being regulated, why it is being regulated and what needs to be reported on".
Given that state and local governments contribute only 2 per cent of university revenues (compared with the federal government's 43 per cent), it urged that reporting to state and local government should be correspondingly minimal.
It also urged more co-ordination between government agencies to standardise reporting obligations and reporting periods.
For example, under the act which regulates international students, universities must complete an external audit every five years, which does not align with the audit required under the government's general regulation of universities. Even worse, universities which enrol international students in several states need to undergo an audit for each state.
UA said in the submission that it broadly supported the opposition's plan to cut red tape, which would require every minister and department to scrutinise the regulatory burden it imposed and drive red tape reduction.
It said the Labor government's 2012 move to fund universities according to student demand, rather than apply student quotas, would reduce the need for regulation.
"Provided this market is allowed to work, the need for government regulation and monitoring of university performance should be reduced," the submission said.

Good morning everyone,
Is there an alternative or easy hack to have Windows Media Center minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar? I have installed TrayIt, but it will not automatically put it into the tray, you have to go into the TrayIt program and choose hide window. I am looking for something more automatic. Thanks!

Diversity in the Iron Content of Olivine Rich Asteroids as Revealed by MGM Analyses of New SMASSIR Spectra
J. M. Sunshine (SAIC), R. P. Binzel, T. H. Burbine, S. J. Bus (MIT)
Two olivine-rich asteroids, 289 Nenetta (V13.9) and 863 Benkoela (V13.7), were observed in December and January using the new "Asteroid Grism" system and NSFCAM detector developed by Binzel for use at the IRTF at Mauna Kea. These data are part of a near-IR extension of the MIT Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASSIR). The combined SMASSIR data typically range from 0.4- to 1.7 m.
The new SMASSIR spectra agree well with previous measurements (Cruikshank and Hartman, Science, 1984; Bell et al., LPSC, 1988). However, the SMASSIR data have significantly better signal to noise and higher spectral resolution than previous data. Visual comparison to laboratory spectra of olivines confirms that the SMASS data include many of the subtleties characteristic of the complex 1 m olivine absorption feature. In particular, the SMASS data contain inflections consistent with the three major Fe olivine absorptions.
The SMASSIR spectra were analyzed using the Modified Gaussian Model (MGM; Sunshine et al., JGR, 1990), a physically based framework for deconvolving spectra into their constituent absorption bands. However, even the SMASSIR data include a noise level such that simple application of the MGM results in absorptions that have properties which are inconsistent with the known variations among olivine absorptions. Nonetheless, when weak constraints based on the range of observed variations among olivine absorptions are applied to the modeling, physically plausible results are obtained.
MGM modeling using various constraints consistently indicates that Benkoela is forsteritic (Mg-rich). In sharp contrast, Nenetta is revealed to be more fayalitic (Fe-rich), with preliminary suggestions of a composition on the order of Fo60. It is therefore likely that the surfaces now revealed on Nenetta and Benkoela formed from diverse differentiation conditions. Continued application of the MGM to SMASSIR data should enhance our understanding of the petrologic and thermal evolution of asteroids.

Snow-related travel disruption across Wales has continued to worsen through Friday with the Traffic Wales information website carrying 22 "severe traffic alerts".
At lunchtime, the website warned that the A40 from M5 towards Ross-on-Wye was closed between the junctions with the A4136 and the A449, and not expected to re-open until 4pm.
See also: Snow in Wales shuts schools and leaves 10,000 without power
The A4233 Maerdy Mountain Road, the A4061 Rhigos Mountain Road and the A4107 Bwlch Mountain Road have all been closed in both directions due to adverse weather.
Some of the severe alerts are due to scheduled on-going roadworks which were already impacting on traffic flows before the bad weather.
See also: Snow in Wales - all the latest updates on our live blog
With the added problems caused by the snow the inevitable and necessary roadworkings have hardly helped matters.
Poor conditions and a plethora of road incidents throughout the morning have added to the travel woes.
Among them are:
:: Speed restrictions in place in both directions on the M4 at junction 22 Pilning to Junction 49 Pont Abraham, due to poor driving conditions;
:: The A470 was closed in both directions between Merthyr Tydfil and Brecon until further notice because of the build-up of snow; and
:: An incident on the westbound carriageway A40, between Raglan and Abergavenny was responsible for the road being closed.
Local Government and Communities Minister, Carl Sargeant, is advising the public to take extra care driving over the next few days.
"I would urge people to consider if they really do need to make that trip and where possible avoid non-essential journeys," he said.
"Both the Welsh Government and local authorities will be working around the clock to coordinate the routing and operation of our snowplough and gritters so they can get to where they are needed.
Despite having sufficient salt stock supplies I would advise the public to take note of traffic updates and access the Traffic Wales website for the latest up-to-the minute traffic information.
"I would also ask people to consider if family members or neighbours in their community need help?
"Have their phone numbers to hand and stop by to offer help with grocery shopping or other essential tasks – it can make a real difference."
Dyfed-Powys Police urged the public to use the 999 emergency system responsibly and advised drivers to take sensible precautions before setting out.
"Police officers throughout Dyfed-Powys have been going the extra mile to protect residents and 4x4 vehicles are available in areas that have been worst hit by the weather, to enable officers to respond to emergency calls," said the force.
"With the severe weather conditions set to continue for the rest of the day and freezing temperatures to remain over the weekend, police are asking the public to use the 999 system responsibly and only in cases of real emergencies – and for all non-emergency matters call 101. Officers will be on patrol in town centres."
Chief Superintendent Huw Rees said: "We are continuing to work hard with our partners to ensure that we provide an effective service in response to incidents.
"I would also like to remind people of the need to take sensible precautions in heavy snow and not to place themselves at risk unnecessarily.
"We advise people to keep an eye on the weather forecast for their area and only travel when necessary.
"We have measures in place to respond to emergencies and are working closely with our partner agencies to reach the people that need us most.
"Whenever there are issues that arise that affect all public agencies in Dyfed Powys, senior staff meet to discuss any problems or areas of concern."
He added: "The group has met this morning and have reported that all essential services are running throughout the four counties.
"There are some changes in non-urgent services and residents are encouraged to visit the agencies' websites for full details.
"The snow is forecast to clear from the west throughout the day, but snow will continue to fall in Powys.
"Overnight is expected to be dry, and temperatures are likely to plummet.
"The snow that has fallen will take time to clear as temperatures over the next few days will remain very low, particularly through the night."
South Wales Police said despite Friday's difficult working conditions it was "business as usual" in the force.
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Jukes said: "The heavy snowfall overnight has proved challenging for the force, but we are extremely proud of the commitment and dedication of our staff who have gone to extra lengths to ensure it remains business as usual for South Wales Police.
"Our priority is to provide a 24/7 emergency service to the public of South Wales and we are working hard to meet the additional demands placed upon us.
"As a force we are prepared for the possibility of further bad weather next week and are working closely with other emergency services and partners to ensure the safety of our communities."
He also advised anyone needing to travel to keep to main roads and factor in extra time for journeys.
"Members of the public travelling today should check the Traffic Wales website for updates on their route before leaving home.
"Those who are travelling should allow extra time, make use of main roads and avoid less used routes.
"Motorists should allow extra time for their journey and ensure they keep an appropriate distance between them and the vehicle ahead."

ECW was one of the most innovative, inspirational legendary wrestling promotions that ever lived. They revolutionised the face of professional wrestling and if it was not for TNN they would most likely be around today.
ECW was more than bloodshed. They had great wrestlers, gimmicks and an atmosphere that was unmatched by any other promotion. ECW chants are still heard to this very day by fans all over the world. ECW is still alive and well in the hearts of many fans.
ECW was the breeding ground for WWE a lot would argue. The wrestlers that were born in ECW such as Stone Cold, Mick Foley, The Dudleys' to name a few of a long list have gone on and had there day in the WWE and have called it a day.
When WWE gave ECW a one of PPV ECW One Night Stand, it was a huge success. This success was way more than any could have expected. The matches were out standing and it showed a lot of fans who were not custom with ECW why this promotion in many eyes was the real no.2 wrestling company even though it did not show up in the ratings of the ECW era and how ECW revolutionised the sport of professional wrestling for the better.
Now WWE wants to fully resurrect ECW. At first thought many of you like myself are excited by the fact ECW is being reborn however have WWE thought this through properly"
Like most by now we have heard the rumours of ECW vs. WWE and are very intrigued by the idea however as time goes on this will wear out. Once the angle is gone and the dust has settled what will become of ECW.
A lot of ECW talent have retired such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Tazz or are on long term TNA deals such as The Dudleys' and Raven. Tragically some of them are dead such as Eddie Guerrero, Chris Candido, Crash Holly to name a few, god rests their souls.
Here is a list of ECW talent who would be able to draw a crowd as a main eventer in the eyes of Vince McMahon and are available on a full time basis that would be there from the beginning.
Chris Benoit
Rey Mysterio
The Sandman
Others such as Austin, Foley, and Funk would only draw crowds on a part time basis.
Other such as Tommy Dreamer, the FBI and the BWO in my view are mediocre crowd drawers. They will not be strong enough to carry ECW once the WWE vs. ECW angle has died down. Also the WWE will suffer as a result they will be loosing former ECW stars from there SmackDown! and RAW brands who join ECW. Even though WWE is well known for giving young superstars a push there is still an argument for a lack of experienced talent once ECW vs. WWE is over if they decide to keep ECW alive.
At the moment SmackDown! struggles in the ratings. If they take away Benoit and Mysterio who will be left to guide SmackDown! and make it stronger. In my view the likes of JBL and Booker T won't be enough, especially as Batista and Angle are injury prone. Others such as Undertaker and Randy Orton may not be part of the SmackDown! brand much longer. Will a draft lottery sort this problem out or will younger superstars be given a push" If a draft lottery is used to help rectify this problem what effects will it have on the RAW brand" If younger superstars are given a push will they cope with the pressures of carrying their brand on there shoulders or will it be HBK all over again" Could ECW distract WWE from the main goal of remaining the number one wrestling company" These questions will be answered in due time.
Some final points include if ECW is born again and it failed what would happen to the unlucky stars. If they come from CZW or ROH would they be welcome back" If there young enough and have enough potential will WWE give them development contracts to go to OVW or DSW" If not these superstars will be gone and back to there regular jobs.
I feel the once a year PPV is enough when paying respect to ECW and all those who were a part of the legendary promotion. I feel that if ECW was reborn it would be an insult to the history of everything they have achieved. I feel Paul Heyman , Tommy Dreamer and RVD have to wake up and realise ECW has had there time, it is now time for WWE and TNA to continue to lead the world of professional wrestling the way it was meant to be. I would love to see ECW be made a success of but in my view it will become a bigger project than expected and the weight put on creative teams and employees of WWE private lives could be damaged meaning WWE would suffer even more. Please do not bring back ECW back let ECW live the way it is supposed to and that is as a one of event paying homage to those who helped change the face of professional wrestling just like in other sports such as football, boxing and baseball. ECW is a legend a hall of famer but hall of famers and legends who have retired do not play full time. As I conclude my case I leave you with one question. If ECW was reborn would a new revolution in sports entertainment be created" In my opinion no, what's yours"

Doctors often worry that high-intensity exercise could trigger cardiac events in patients with heart failure. After all, patients with heart failure already have a compromised heart, which can't pump enough blood throughout their body. Get a patient's heart rate up and you may push their body past its natural limits. But a study conducted in Australia suggests that vigorous exercise benefits heart failure patients the greatest, without increased risk of complications.
Recently published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, this paper analyzed 73 studies conducted between 1985 and 2012, all of which tested the use of exercise programs in heart failure patients. Exercise therapies ranged from low to high intensity and nearly 6,000 heart failure patients were included in the analysis.
Despite concerns about exercise training, researchers found that there were no deaths in the study follow-up that were due to exercise, regardless of intensity. Also, compared to patients who didn't participate in exercise therapy, investigators found that those participating in high-intensity exercise programs saw the greatest health benefits from the training. While patients in the low-intensity programs saw just a 7% improvement in fitness compared to those who didn't participate in an exercise program, subjects with high-intensity training saw a 23% improvement in markers of fitness.
What type of exercise is recommended for heart failure patients?
Why heart failure patients should adhere to treatment plans.

Washington (AFP) July 10, 2009
The Bush administration repeatedly sought to block investigations into alleged killings of up to 2,000 Taliban prisoners by a US-backed Afghan warlord in 2001, The New York Times reported Friday.
Top US officials discouraged separate probes by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the State Department and the Pentagon into the mass killings because it was conducted by the forces of General Abdul Rashid Dostam, a warlord then on the Central Intelligence Agency's payroll, the Times said on its website.
Dostam's militia had worked closely with US Special Forces during the US-led invasion and was part of the Northern Alliance, which helped the United States topple the Taliban.
Washington was later concerned that an investigation could hurt Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who had the support of George W. Bush's administration, because Dostam served as a defense official in the fledgling government.
"At the White House, nobody said 'no' to an investigation, but nobody ever said 'yes, either," former US war crimes ambassador Pierre-Richard Prosper told the newspaper. "The first reaction of everybody there was 'Oh, this is a sensitive issue. This is a touchy issue politically.'"
The new US administration has maintained frostier relations with Karzai, whose government is seen as corrupt and unpopular, although Obama has dispatched 21,000 fresh troops to fight a mounting Taliban-led insurgency ahead of August elections.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Richard Holbrooke, the special US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, have told Karzai they objected to the recent reinstatement of Dostam as military chief of staff, the Times said, citing a senior State Department official.
"We believe that anyone suspected of war crimes should be thoroughly investigated," the official added, hinting the Obama administration is open to an inquiry.
Dostam, whose alleged killings may have amounted to the biggest war crime in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion, was reinstated to his post last month after being suspended last year for allegedly threatening a political opponent at gunpoint.
But he remains in exile in Turkey, and US officials have pressed his sponsors there to delay his return to Afghanistan, the Times said, citing an official briefed on the matter.
The killings took place in late November 2001, shortly after the invasion that ousted Kabul's Taliban government.
Taliban prisoners captured by Dostam's forces after a major battle in northeastern Kunduz province were allegedly packed into shipping containers and left to suffocate, or were shot through the container walls, before being buried in mass graves.
Estimates on the number of people killed have ranged from several hundred to several thousand.
"President Obama must open a full and transparent criminal probe and prosecute any US officials found to have broken the law," said Nathaniel Raymond, a researcher for Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), a group that found the mass grave site in the northwestern Dasht-i-Laili desert in January 2002.
"We stand ready to aid the US government in investigating this massacre. It is time for the cover-up to end," he added in a statement, saying the State Department official's comments indicate "a move toward full accountability."
PHR, which says as many as 2,000 surrendered Taliban fighters were killed, and the International Committee for the Red Cross were the first to call for an investigation, shortly after the incident reportedly took place.

I've noticed more and more anglers taking measures to protect themselves from the sun. Just think about the number of hours these Elite pros spend in the sun. One trend we're seeing is sun gloves. They're lightweight, they breathe and they protect the back of your hands from the rays. The way most anglers hold a rod and reel, the back side of the hands take a beating. I've seen Brent Chapman, Ott DeFoe and Aaron Martens wearing them this week.

Jesus compared Herod Antipas to a fox. John the Baptist fell into that fox's jaws for speaking against his degenerate behavior. Like his predecessor Jeremiah, John was not idle in prison but continued to speak with his disciples and to explain truth to the King who had imprisoned him.
Mark 6:17-20
For Herod himself had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said to Herod, "It is not legal for you to have your brother's wife." Therefore Herodias had a grudge against him, and would have killed him; but she could not because Herod respected John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and paid attention to him; and when he listened to him, he did many things, and listened to him gladly.
Imprisoned below ground (as it is thought) John seems to have become despondent. His faith may even have faltered.
One of the great dangers of imprisonment is depression, and the men of the Bible were as prone to it as anyone else. To be torn from the open air and every day scenes, to be forced into idleness or tedious occupations that chafe the mind, are burdens not easily bourn, especially by men of an active disposition. For John the Baptist, who had wandered the wilderness and proclaimed the Gospel to thousands, prison must have been a heavy burden. Perhaps he longed for the expected ascendancy of the Messiah which would liberate him. As we know, Jesus did not claim the throne of David in those days. Little wonder then, that John began to question the validity of Christ although previously he had testified regarding him.
Luke 7:19-23
And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are you the prophecied one? or should we look for someone else?"
When the men had come to Him, they said, "John Baptist has sent us to you, asking, 'Are you the prophecied one? or should we look for someone else?' "
At that time Jesus cured many people of their infirmities and illnesses, and of evil spirits; and he restored sight to many who were blind. Then Jesus answered them saying, "Go your way, and tell John what you have seen and heard; how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the Gospel is preached to the poor. And blessed are all who won't be offended in me."comments powered by Disqus

Hiking in
Herkimer County
Herkimer County is located in Central New York, east of Syracuse and northwest of Albany. The northern part of the county is located in Adirondack Park. The county seat is located in the Village of Herkimer. The 2008 estimated population for the county was 62,200. The very popular Adirondack tourist village of Old Forge is located in Herkimer County.
The highest point in the county is a 2723 foot unnamed summit located in a very remote, secluded, rugged part of the county south of Twin Lakes in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness. There are no marked or maintained trails that lead to the summit. The closest trail is the Black River Middle Branch Trail that leads you into the 2.5 mile bushwhack part of this tough 6+ mile one way hike.
In the near future, the 4600 mile North Country National Scenic Trail will begin its Adirondack Park journey in Herkimer County at the current Stone Dam Trail off North Lake Road. The scheduled route has the trail starting in the Black River Wild Forest, then crossing Ice Cave Mountain in West Canada Lakes Wilderness and continue on its journey across Adirondack Park.
The Rondaxe Fire Tower on Bald Mountain
There are two fire towers located in Herkimer County. The Rondaxe Fire Tower on Bald Mountain is the easier tower to reach via a well used one mile trail. The Woodhull Mountain Fire Tower is a much longer, tougher hike to the remote fire tower. The views from Bald Mountain are awesome.
Stillwater Reservoir is located in Herkimer County. The reservoir is a favorite location for boating, camping as well as hiking. You'll find numerous lakes and ponds for kayaking as well as hiking adventures. Big Moose Lake is one location that has hiking trails accessible only by boat.
The Alger Island Campground and Nicks Lake Campground are two state run campgrounds located in Herkimer County. For those looking for more of a backcountry camping experience, there are numerous lean tos available in the Adirondack Park portion of the county. Middle Settlement Lake Lean To and Middle Branch Lake Lean To are two popular backcountry hikes in Ha De Ron Dah Wilderness.

Chicken & Shrimp Wonton Soup
Recipe by AngeNZ
This is delicious! I am not an experienced cook by any means, but this was easy! I initially got the idea from a soup recipe, but changed the wonton ingredients to suit and added to the soup. Great meal and feeds 4-6 people ... the only thing I had to go out and buy was the wonton wrappers and spring onion! It is surprisingly filling! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Top Review by Annetty
This was fantastic, we loved the flavours. The wonton were a little fiddley to make but fun. I used Chicken Consomme' instead of the water & instant chicken stock. I also cut up the prawns (shrimp) and mixed them with the chicken mince. As there is only 2 of us - I froze the left overs wontons to use another night for a quick meal. DH tells me we don't have to buy Wonton Soup anymore because this one is better. Thanks MilliesMum for a great Recipe!

Council on Foreign Relations describes Bitcoin as 'the craziest thing since the 1630s'; PayPal fined US$7.7 million for allowing transactions to countries covered by the United States' sanctions policy and more top stories for March 27.
The Wall Street Bitcoin Alliance (WSBA), a trade advocacy group composed of financial market professionals, is looking to "guide and promote comprehensive adoption of digital currency and blockchain technology across financial markets."
In the latest episode of Epicenter Bitcoin, Brian Fabian Crain and Sebastien Couture were joined by Daniel Gallancy, CEO and Founder of SolidX Partners Inc. With his company that recently raised a US$3 million funding round from Liberty City Ventures and Wall Street investors, he aims to make Bitcoin accessible to financial investors that have so far been excluded from the Bitcoin market.
Wall Street investment firm, Wedbush Securities, recently announced that it would be forming a partnership with the Bitcoin trading service company, Buttercoin.
Who doesn't love a good breakdown of how Bitcoin works? Barry Silbert, CEO and Founder of SecondWatch, recently broke down the development and strengths and weaknesses of investing in Bitcoin at a recent MarketWatch event.
The development of Bitcoin contributing to the overall progress of cryptographic currencies could not stay unnoticed by world's leading traders – the Wall Street brokers and other featured specialists.

Know what your auto mechanic really means
It's easy to feel intimidated by a mechanic who says your vehicle needs a new, um, rotorbeltifyer or a change of translubricator fluid. To help separate myth from reality, Consumer Reports prepared this guide to common comments from car mechanics:
• "You need new wipers." This observation is often correct. You may not realize wipers are shot until you're driving in heavy rain or snow. Replace wipers every six months or if they streak or miss some areas.
• "You need a new air filter." A dirty air filter can rob power from an engine. It's usually checked at every oil change, but that doesn't mean you'll need a new one. Have it cleaned or replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Not sure if it's dirty? Remove it and hold it up to a strong light. If you can't see the light, replace the filter.
• "Your brakes are worn." A high-pitched squeal may be the first warning. Other signs: The brakes grab or vibrate and the brake pedal feels soft when pressed. A grinding sound means a replacement is long overdue, and worn brake pads may be damaging the brake rotors. Pads should be checked at least twice a year.
• "You need an oil change." Most vehicles are designed to go 7,500 miles or more between changes under normal driving conditions. And synthetic oil can last twice as long. Check your owner's manual, because changes can become pricey.
Say your household has two vehicles driven 15,000 miles per year. If you change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles at $40 each, you'll pay $400 per year. Drive 7,500 miles between oil changes and save $240 per year.
• "Flush the engine coolant." Older cars may need a coolant flush every two years or 30,000 miles; many newer ones have extended-life coolant, which can last up to 100,000 miles. A sweet odor inside the car can signal a problem.
• "Those tires won't make it." Take a quarter and stick it upside down (with George Washington's face toward you) into the tread. Replace tires when the tread reaches ∂ inch – roughly the length of the quarter's rim to Washington's hairline.
• "Your struts are shot." Look at the strut. If there's evidence of fluid running down its side, park the car on level ground, press down on the corner of the car with the worn strut, and let go. If the car bounces more than once, there's a problem.
Bottom line: Check the owner's manual for recommended maintenance intervals. If a mechanic suggests changing filters and fluids more frequently than the manufacturer recommends, ask for an explanation and consider getting a second opinion.
Need an estimate? Go to ConsumerReports.org and click on "Cars" and then "Car Repairs" to find repair estimates.

We are about to start a business. We were considering equipment leasing/financing services but we don't fully understand it yet. We are located in Jakarta Indonesia, what and where is the best company to transact business with? Is Axis Capital Group, http://www.axiscapitalinc.com/, good? Please someone explain, thanks.
It's all on Google! Do your research man! But asking if what company, go for axis capital group
Equipment leasing is obtaining the use of machinery, vehicles or other equipment on a rental basis. This avoids the need to invest capital in equipment. Ownership rests in the hands of the financial institution or leasing company, while the business has the actual use of it.
There are many advantages of leasing like making lower monthly payments than you'd have with a loan, getting a fixed financing rate instead of a floating rate, benefiting from tax advantages, conserving working capital and avoiding cash-devouring down payments, and gaining immediate access to the most up-to-date business tools. The equipment also shows up on your income statement as a lease expense rather than a purchase. If you purchase it, your balance sheet becomes less liquid.
A lease is in essence an extended rental agreement wherein the owner of the equipment (the lessor) allows the user (the lessee) to operate or otherwise make use of the equipment in exchange for periodic lease payments. "There are a number of reasons that companies sometimes prefer to lease equipment rather than buying it," said Richard A. Brealey and Stewart C. Myers in Principles of Corporate Finance. "For example, there may be good tax reasons. If the operator cannot use the depreciation tax shield, it makes sense to sell the equipment to someone who can. Also, the lessor may be better able to bear the risk of obsolescence, or be in a better position to resell secondhand assets. The lessor may be able to offer a very good deal on maintenance. Finally, it may be much less costly in time and effort to arrange a simple lease contract on a standard item of equipment than to arrange a normal loan."
A finance lease or capital lease is a type of lease. It is a commercial arrangement where: (this is from wiki)
• the lessee (customer or borrower) will select a asset (equipment, vehicle, software);
• the lessor (finance company) will purchase that asset;
• the lessee will have use of that asset during the lease;
• the lessee will pay a series of rentals or installments for the use of that asset;
• the lessor will recover a large part or all of the cost of the asset plus earn interest from the rentals paid by the lessee;
• the lessee has the option to acquire ownership of the asset (e.g. paying the last rental, or bargain option purchase price);

Our Mission
The SSU mission is to prepare students to be learned men and women who:
- have a foundation for lifelong learning,
- have a broad cultural perspective,
- have a keen appreciation of intellectual and aesthetic achievements,
- will be leaders and active citizens,
- are capable of pursuing fulfilling careers in a changing world, and
- are concerned with contributing to the health and well-being of the world at large.
To achieve its mission, Sonoma State University recognizes that its first obligation is to develop and maintain excellent programs of undergraduate instruction grounded in the liberal arts and sciences. Instructional programs are designed to challenge students not only to acquire knowledge but also to develop the skills of critical analysis, careful reasoning, creativity and self-expression. Excellence in undergraduate education requires students to participate in a well-planned program that provides both a liberal education and opportunities for specific career preparation.
The University offers a wide range of traditional disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary programs, so that students are able to explore diverse modes of inquiry, the understanding gained within the various disciplines, and a global spectrum of ideas, institutions, values, and artistic expressions.
The University offers selected professional and graduate programs leading to master's degrees, teaching credentials, and certificates in various career fields. These programs respond to regional and state needs within the academic, business, education, and professional communities.
The quality of the educational experience relies on close human and intellectual relationships among students and faculty to foster the open exchange of ideas. The University is committed to creating a learning community in which people from diverse backgrounds and cultures are valued for the breadth of their perspectives and are encouraged in their intellectual pursuits. The University's special character within California education emerges from its small size; its commitment to high standards of scholarship and ongoing professional development; and its promotion of diversity in the faculty, staff, and student populations.
The University also recognizes its obligation to serve as an educational and cultural resource for people in the surrounding communities. It offers courses, lectures, workshops and programs that are open to the public. Special events in the arts, the sciences, and athletics contribute to the intellectual and cultural life of students and the community.
Our History
The California state legislature established Sonoma State College in 1960.
The college opened in temporary quarters in Rohnert Park in Fall 1961 under the leadership of founding president Ambrose R. Nichols, Jr., with an enrollment of 265 upper-division students. Most of the faculty and administrators of the Santa Rosa Center of San Francisco State College, which had served the region since 1956, joined the new college. The center's elementary education, psychology and counseling programs were the principal offerings.
The college grew steadily, developing academic programs based in the traditional liberal arts and sciences, as well as in career and professional programs, all the while emphasizing close student-faculty interaction. The college moved to its present 274-acre site in 1966, upon completion of Stevenson and Darwin Halls. Excellent new facilities have been constructed and extensive landscaping has been accomplished, creating one of the most attractive, modern and well-equipped campuses in the state. In 1978, University status was granted and the name was changed to Sonoma State University.
The University now enrolls more than 7,500 students and offers 41 bachelor's degrees, 14 master's degrees, and 9 teaching, specialist, and service credentials.
Sonoma State University is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In addition, individual program accreditations have been granted by the American Chemical Society, the National Association of Schools of Music, the National League for Nursing, the National Association for Schools of Art and Design, and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. Programs in SSU's School of Education are approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
The University is also a member of the prestigious Council of Public Liberal Arts and Colleges (COPLAC), an association of public colleges and universities whose primary mission is ensuring that fine undergraduate liberal arts and sciences education is available to students in the public systems of higher education. SSU is the only California member of COPLAC.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:43pm
BY Sydney McMinn and Rashad Devoe
The crack of sticks colliding. The clamor of cleats racing down the field. The colorful collection of helmets dodging and cutting. The grit of the grass. The beating sun. The intensity in the air. Players laying it all out on the line for a chance at college lacrosse. It's June in Texas, and time for T99.
"This is the 9th year that we've done this… We have over 100 coaches here and 250 players. We think it's a great event to showcase players from developing areas," said Notre Dame assistant coach, Gerry Byrne. T99 started in 2003 as a recruiting tournament where high school lacrosse players in Texas could be seen by college coaches. With the game of lacrosse developing and expanding to areas outside the northeast, college coaches have a larger talent pool to wade through. It also means that more and more interest is being focused on Texas. Coaches from schools spanning from MCLA up to Division 1 sat through the Texas heat hoping to find their next recruit.
"There's an intensity that I like with the Dallas lacrosse players. And what's exciting to see is the skill matching the intensity," said Brown University Head Coach, Lars Tiffany. "It's not just looking for big, strong athletes who can play defense or defensive midfield," Tiffany said, "I can realistically come away thinking 'We can recruit some attackmen from here.'" Brown had one player, Seth Ratner, from Dallas on its roster this year. The Bears will also be bringing in two midfielders from the Dallas area this coming fall.
Ryan Wellner, Assistant Coach at Stony Brook University, has been to the last eight events. He keeps coming back because the boys he sees playing are "bigger and stronger and faster for the most part, and that's something that's attractive to us."
Though interest in the area has picked up greatly, coaches still acknowledge the fact that there are potential adjustments any Texas recruit will have to make once at the college level. "The speed of the game and the decision making process is the biggest adjustment," said University of Michigan Head Coach, John Paul. "Any time you come from a developing lacrosse area and start playing at a more elite level, there's an adjustment compared to some of the other kids that are coming from more established lacrosse areas that are playing…with a team full of Division 1 recruits playing against other teams full of Division 1 recruits."
As the level of play has developed enough, though, the recruiting process has as well. Nazareth College Assistant Coach and Dallas native, Francis Donald considers the event a huge step forward for lacrosse in the area. Nazareth currently has three players on its roster and will be adding two more this fall. "When I was here… you had to go elsewhere to be recruited. I had to go up to New Hampshire, and that's where Nazareth saw me… So for these kids to be able to stay in town, or for some of the out-of-town kids, at least stay in their home state, and have all these coaches come down, I think, is huge."
Texas is only one developing hotbed that has started to draw more attention. Jack Sandler, Head Coach at Skidmore College, said, "At Skidmore, we have players from Tennessee, Oregon, Florida, Indiana, California. We try to hit up just about everywhere. There's great players all over the country and we're just trying to find guys that are the right fit for our school and the way we play."
As the tournament and its format, a total of 6 games and all -star game were played over 2 beautiful cloudless 100 -degree days. There was one player who stood above all at the Texas Top 99 and that was rising junior midfielder Garrett Van De Ven from Dallas Jesuit, he is one of those dual sport players that college coaches drool over. A running back on the football team and a stud middy that out runs everyone on the field. He runs through checks and shoots through you and can create separation with his first step.
Bear Goldstein rising junior dpole from St. Marks looked dominant along with a very young St. Marks midfielder Chris Marlow, Chris, a rising sophomore had coaches talking with his blazing speed and shiftiness. Another St. Marks product Tommy Addy , whose older brother Fred Addy plays at Princeton looked extremely smooth and efficient on the field at attack for being a rising sophomore.
Hunter Hill dpole from Dallas Jesuit was on the hunt all day looking to ravage attackmen this kid played with a predatory style, attacking, harassing any attackman that came close to touching the ball near him. All-State dpole Michael McCarney was another coaches favorite as his size, close to 6ft 4, ability to stay with any attack or midfielder, and crazy stick had college coaches buzzing in the stands.
ESD represented well with Hayden Wilson a tough middy who made the Under Armour south team and his teammate Hunter Moore a rising senior dpole who kept making plays. Hunter Moore has great footwork and good size at about 6ft1 he has the ability to play down low, but also has the stick and speed to run LSM. Barrett Anigian a rising junior for ESD looked incredible
Riley Vickers a nice dpole from Anderson High looked very impressive and made a lot of plays. Riley is a very tall athletic pole that would do well at the LSM spot in college.
Tommy McClenahan rising junior attackman from the stud loaded State Champion Coppell Cowboys looks like he will be the 8th D1 player coming from that program. Tommy not only could score at will but had a relentless ride and was very aggressive on the defensive end.
From the Faceoff X one player dominated the games Alex Petsos rising senior from Dallas Jesuit, the games I watched he did lose a draw, and showed a great ability to run the show when he did win. In a sport where extra possessions are crucial, Petsos will be getting a lot of attention from college coaches.
And finally a player for the All-Name Team Ricky Rochester midfielder from Southlake Carroll. Ricky is also a football player for Southlake and a deadly left handed shooter who can run like the wind and can handle. Ricky did incredibly well in all weekend and showed well in the All Star game.

Fed boss Bernanke to continue QE3--endless Bailout of a Clunkered Capitalism
Last week's announcement by Fed chief Ben Bernanke that the QE3 of pumping $85 Billion per month to shore up the Long Recession is an open admission that the current Capitalist Calamity still needs perpetual life support. Wasn't private capital supposed to be far more efficient than government-run programs and services? Only in theory or in the delusional imagination of those "free market" fundamentalists!
Even the USA empire's Warfare State can no longer sustain a Clunkered Capitalism. That's the lesson objective observers must conclude from the facts on the ground. 5 years after the biggest financial meltdown caused by Wall Street banksters, the moribund "free market"--despite getting more than $20 Trillion of forced taxpayers' subsidies--still cannot even recover the total number of jobs that existed prior to the blowup. What does that tell you about the future (lack) of prospects for tens of millions of young people? If they have any smarts, they would have to conclude that Kapitalism is Kaput! Time to seriously seek out a more equitable, sustainable and collaborative alternative than the deadend of an Imperialist "Abyss of Evil."

DMT drug is an Illuminati weapon to sabotage human pineal gland.

i've done NN-DMT a couple of times so i have some license to voice an opinion on this matter. i will say it's may opinion however..
DMT is fucking powerful shit, without question. I had an amazing experience i'll say that much, but what i would like to say in this thread is that i do not believe for one second it's all roses and happy days. On my first experience with it, i had a direct confrontation with a malicious entity.. i was feeling fucking great at the time, everything was going really well, then this mess of black lines/energy just intruded into my "space"/sphere of experience. I knew straight away that it was something not belonging to me, i felt absolutely disgusted by it's presence, and i told it to fuck right off, which it did. Everything else was great though, and i was left physically trembling after the experience with tears of joy rolling down my face. I felt totally blessed.
However.. it would be naive to assume there are not malicious entities in the astral realms (which is where alot of the DMT experience takes place, IMO), or even parasitical entities that would like to attach themselves to you. Any highly energetic experience (psychedelics, sex) is likely to attract the attention of entities wishing to feed off you. If you think that's BS, then consider how we use cows, chickens, and many other creatures for our benefit, or how ants feed off aphids. To assume there isn't life beyond our intelligence in other realms that feeds off us is totally short sighted. If anything, look around you at most people, most people are evidently carrying around mental parasites!
The whole "healing through psychedelics" thing i'm not sold on.. yes, they're powerful tools, but we do NOT have the culture or knowledge on how to use them properly. Not by a long shot. Get sick of people proclaiming they're shamans or use these substances/plants for "healing" when they're evidently just in their own world of delusion.
As Alan Watts once said, "Once you get the message, hang up the phone!".
Psychedelics break open the head.. but once you've done that, there is no real need to continue using them unless you want to smash your head to pieces! Anything that can be taken from without can also be triggered from within. My first astral projection experience was identical to a DMT flash, and i did it through lying meditation.
Using psychedelics is NOT seeing the world without filters. Fucking nonsense. If you want to see the world without filters i suggest you take up a real path of self enquiry and spiritual development! Don't fool yourself.. the real development is not as simple as taking DMT or shrooms, period.
Anonymous Coward 745719
I don't doubt that, i have experienced similar things through meditation, although they have been very mild experiences you cannot possibly explain it in a physical sense and i am aware it is completely different to DMT or other psychedelics, but nonetheless DMT IS a filtration system of the PHYSICAL PERCEPTION, except it takes you to the brink of physical awareness where its just your own conciousness and a whole other dimension. I am not putting psychedelics up on a pedestal and i know meditation and centering oneself is one of the most significant things in a persons spiritual development. But never deny the fact that these naturally producing chemicals do not alter perception, but you are right you can only go so far with the psychedelics.
oh shit!
