Sadomasochist and willing slave Henry Rose loved pain but there were times his relationship with his younger master Drew Dax became too violent, even for him.
Mr Rose, 59, who liked to burn himself with cigarettes and have people stomp on his genitals, claimed to have had a deep love for Mr Dax, 44, a talented but troubled artist, but was afraid of him when he would drink too much.
The two men had been together for 28 years in what was described in the Supreme Court as "an extraordinary relationship" until Mr Rose repeatedly stabbed Mr Dax during an argument in the kitchen of their Caulfield home in January 2015.
The men had been living in a master/slave relationship where the timid Mr Rose would do whatever his master ordered.
A jury on Thursday deliberated for just over two hours before finding Mr Rose, who had claimed he killed Mr Dax in self-defence, not guilty of murder and the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Mr Rose mouthed the words, 'Thank you", to the jury as they were discharged.
As Mr Rose was being led from court by security guards, he was jeered by angry family and friends of Mr Dax.
One woman called out, "You know what you did. You stabbed him to death."
Security stopped Mr Dax's family from leaving the courtroom until after Mr Rose had been safely escorted out.
Mr Dax's father, John, and brother, Rob, had sat in court shaking their heads after the verdict was handed down.

Defence barrister Geoffrey Steward had argued Mr Dax's criminal history involved violence towards Mr Rose, including a bizarre devil-worshipping ceremony dating back to 1988.
Mr Dax had been in a trance-like state when claiming to be Satan before slashing Mr Rose across the forehead with a kitchen knife and stabbing him in the right hand.
Mr Steward said Mr Rose had been in fear for his life when he killed Mr Dax, who had a blood alcohol level of 0.2 on the night he died, because he knew his master turned into a monster after drinking to excess.
The Crown case against Mr Rose was that he fatally stabbed the unarmed Mr Dax between 11pm on January 10, 2015, and 3am the next morning.
Mr Rose later told police Mr Dax had threatened to kill him and came at him with a knife.
"He lunged forward but he missed," Mr Rose said.
"I lunged at him. I lunged and I got him. And I panicked. And I don't know how many times I stabbed him. I was just - I was fearing for my life and crying at the same time.
"I lunged with both knives at the same time. I'm pretty sure I got him in the stomach a few times. And I don't know, once or twice in the neck. I don't know."
Crown prosecutor Peter Chadwick told the jury there was no doubt the two men loved each other very much.
Mr Dax had moved into Mr Rose's Caulfield house in 2013 after the older man's parents had passed away and he inherited the Princes Street property.
"They had met when Mr Dax was about 16 and living on the streets and it was not long after that Mr Rose appointed him his master.
Mr Dax, who had changed his name by deed poll from Andrew Barratt, affectionately called Mr Rose his husband and had a painting hanging on his bedroom wall which said, "Henry is my slave".
"But there was something very unusual about this relationship, the master/slave aspect," Mr Chadwick said.
"The state of domination, submission, and the longstanding, deep-seated sadomasochism of Mr Rose. How Mr Rose liked to be hurt."
The prosecutor said Mr Rose liked to self-harm by burning his nipples with cigarettes or cigarette lighters, and had at one time paid Mr Dax $50 to stand on his genitals when wearing football boots.
But Mr Chadwick said while there had been a number of violent incidents, many consensual, involving the couple over the years, there was no excuse for Mr Rose killing Mr Dax.
The prosecutor said Mr Rose had been armed with two knives when he fatally stabbed Mr Dax before placing a knife in Mr Dax's left hand to make it look as if he was armed, supporting Mr Rose's claims he was acting in self-defence.
But the problem for Mr Rose was that he put the knife in the wrong hand given Mr Dax was right-handed.
Mr Steward accepted it was open for the jury to find Mr Rose had planted the knife on Mr Dax but the stabbing had been a "shockingly traumatic incident for Henry" and he simply panicked, fearing his story of self-defence would never be believed.
"We say to you that the suggestion by the Crown that Drew was never armed is absurd. it ignores the almost unfathomable likelihood of Henry Rose inexplicably and thoroughly uncharacteristically stabbing the man he loved so deeply repeatedly while he's unarmed," Mr Steward said.
The jury agreed.

Oregon associate head coach Mike Dunlap is politely turning down most interview requests these days, but the Arizona Wildcats don't need to hear his words to know he's returning to McKale Center tonight.
He'll be speaking through the Ducks' 2-2-1 zone press, one of the same schemes the Wildcats used last season when Dunlap was their associate head coach.
And maybe - as UA guard Nic Wise did when he hit a three-pointer over that zone a month ago in Eugene - the Wildcats might respond with a friendly glare at their former coach.
"I've never been a pressing coach," Oregon coach Ernie Kent said, "and (Dunlap) has brought multiple presses to our package that has really given us some real positives that we can do to change the tempo of the game."
That was what Kent said last month. Now, the Ducks head coach is using even more zone than he was then.
"They were almost exclusively man-to-man, and now they're almost exclusively zone," UA coach Sean Miller said.
While Dunlap declined to be interviewed by the Star, here are five other things about his impact at Oregon:
He's there to help save Ernie Kent's job.
A few days after Oregon finished an 8-23 season that threatened his job last spring, Kent approached then Oregon AD Pat Kilkenny - who later told the Eugene Register-Guard he was undecided on whether to retain Kent at that point - to tell him he wanted to add Dunlap, who served under Russ Pennell last season.
According to Oregonian columnist John Canzano, Oregon power brokers and Nike executives had recommended the move to Kent, who had veteran assistants such as Greg Graham and Fred Litzenberger on previous staffs.
"It has not been weird at all," Kent told the Star last month. "I've gone through this before. If you get someone to look at everything we've been doing … he's almost like a consultant."
Dunlap told the Register-Guard he's been taking a careful approach at doing so, knowing that Kent is already well-established.
"I've watched him through the evolution of his program … and like my better assistants did for me when they reminded me of things from three years ago when you were good, I try to refer him back to himself," Dunlap said. "If I think that he is getting too much information, then I'll stay quiet.
"I have great empathy for that chair."
He's well-compensated.
Dunlap became the highest-paid assistant coach in the league - and signed an unprecedented $300,000 bonus - when he joined the Ducks on a two-year deal worth $400,000 per year. He was paid $375,000 by Arizona in 2008-09.
"Before I got that pay, I was in the boiler room for years and years and years," Dunlap told the Oregonian. "So just like ("Good to Great" author) Jim Collins would say, the flywheel spun, and it did spin for me."
He was initially envious of those Eugene runners.
Moving temporarily into a Eugene hotel last spring, Dunlap told the Register-Guard that it was "driving me crazy" to watch all the Oregonian runners whiz on by.
A runner for 31 years who once raced in a 100-miler through the Sierra Nevadas, Dunlap was initially sidelined with knee trouble that required two major surgeries. But he simply kept cross-training until he was healthy enough to run again.
" 'Never let yourself get out of shape' is what they say in physical terms," Dunlap told the Register-Guard. "I agree with that."
He's kept cool under pressure.
At 12-10 overall and 4-6 in the watered-down Pac-10 this season, the Ducks have yet to prove they are significantly better this season.
But in the midst of the Ducks' five-game losing streak last month, Dunlap told the Register-Guard:
"There will be some tremendous highs and some tremendous lows with this group," Dunlap said. "I see a team that's trying to find itself and create an identity of what works and what doesn't work."
Dunlap said he initially focused on building the Ducks' mental toughness upon his arrival but toned it down a bit when he realized how young the team was.
Guard Garrett Sim told the Register-Guard he noticed the difference.
"He's a pretty hard-nosed guy, and that was different for us when we first got around him," Sim said. "We adjusted and I think he's adjusted, too, with a little more of Coach Kent's style. It's working out pretty well."
Being under the gun is nothing new.
"Given the pressure of Arizona, given the pressure of the NBA, given the pressure of this … I have been around a lot of pressure," Dunlap told the Register-Guard. "My point is that I can be rather stoic about things because at this point, circumstances or outcome will not define who I am.
"I'm relentless on that point."
As it turned out, the Wildcats managed to reach the Sweet 16 last season despite having Lute Olson retire suddenly in October 2008.
The UA squeaked into the NCAA tournament field as a controversial No. 12 seed.
"People thought we were going to fall into the great abyss, and we did just the opposite," Dunlap said. "The other thing the (tournament) committee understood was that maybe the adversity we had was highly unusual compared to everybody else that was being considered. We were lucky to get in, but we took that luck and ran with it."

Armwood sophomore tailback Matt Jones, the Hawks' leading rusher, has been suspended for tonight's game against Chamberlain for an unspecified violation of team rules, Coach Sean Callahan confirmed.
The suspension is only for tonight, Callahan noted, meaning Jones (52 carries, 358 yards, four TDs) should return for next week's Class 4A, District 9 showdown against Hillsborough. He likely would have received a minimal amount of handoffs tonight anyway.
Callahan is expected to empty his bench early against Chamberlain (0-6), which has been outscored 208-35 this season.

Product Description
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are botanically categorized as berries, which are available in many different sizes shapes and colors. They range from thick, stubby little fruits (10 - 12 cm long) to Dutch greenhouse varieties (of up to 50 cm long). The most popular variety is the long smooth salad cucumber which has a smooth, dark-green skin. It's little brother, the "gherkin" is actually a cucumber that has been harvested when little and pickled in brine. The true gherkin is a different species (Cucumis anguria), which is primarily grown in the West Indies.
Cucumber may not contain a lot of food value, but they make up this lack of nutrients with a wide variety of healthy substances. They were already used in ancient times to dissolve stones caused by uric acid. Their cleansing effect on the intestines, kidneys, lung and skins was also known. People suffering from stomach or liver diseases also benefit from the consumption of cucumbers. They have been known to cure some headaches, bleeding, dizziness, and pale skin. Cucumber juice contains a substance, which promotes blood circulation of the skin. It is for this reason that it is widely used in cosmetics.
Older cookbooks recommend to make cucumbers more digestable by salting them and discarding the water. However, it has since been discovered that the healing properties of the cucumber is contained in its juice. Deficiency diseases, such as scorbut are easily cured by cucumbers, due to its high content of Vitamin C. Eaten as part of the evening meal, cucumbers promote sleep. On hot summer days they make a very refreshing snack and are easily taken along. Besides traces of calcium, copper and magnesium, cucumbers contain substantial amounts of potassium, iron and phosphorous, but also proteins as well as the vitamins A, B1 and C.
Apparently cucumbers have originated in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, just north of the Bay of Bengal, the area which is now primarily occupied by Bangladesh. While there does not seem to be any wild cucumbers present in the area today, scientists have identified a small bitter fruit of the squash family, which is thought to have brought forth the cucumber. Recent investigations led to the assumption that cucumbers may have started off on the African continent, however fossils, which could substantiate such claims have not yet been found. Fact is that cucumbers have already been widely cultivated in the past, which is evident from written records in many different cultures. Records show that cucumbers were already grown as far East as China as early as 2,000 years before the Christian Era. Their introduction to the West in Asia Minor, North Africa, Greece, Italy, etc. seems to have gone along with the dessimination of the Christian belief. The Romans had already developed fairly sophisticated methods of growing cucumbers, as it is reported that the Emperor Tiberius consumed these deliciously juicy fruits every single day in the year. Cucumbers were grown in the gardens of Charlemagne in the 9th century. From there it took a while before cucumbers made it to England. However, they had to be introduced twice: in the 14th century and again in the 16th century, as the early attempts to cultivate them failed due to war and unrest at the time of the first introduction.
Columbus was responsible for bringing cucumbers to the New World, where they were first planted in 1494 on Haiti and possibly on other islands. From there they spread throughout the North American continent, as the natives enjoyed them as much as their local squash.

New to Forum, not new to Android
- I started out my Android experience with the HTC Incredible. At first I was in love, and then the dreaded "Out of Space" happening occurred. I rooted, I un-rooted, I updated, I expanded my memory card. Nothing would fix this problem and as far as I could tell neither HTC or Verizon would even recognize that there was a problem. So, I survived for almost 2 years and finally was able to get a new phone.
Enter, the Motorola Droid RAZR. I researched, I scoured the interwebs for information on which phone to purchase and came to the conclusion that this was the best phone available to me (not including the RAZR Maxx, but the RAZR was $100 cheaper). I had wanted a Samsung phone, but didn't like Verizon's current offerings and couldn't wait for them to release the Galaxy S3. Alas, I now have the RAZR.
The phone is very nice, large screen nearly indesctructible with the kevlar backing and Gorilla Glass front (I still bought an Otter box commuter case for it). But after almost a month of using it I've discovered that no phone is perfect. For some odd reason, when you want to place a shortcut on the home screen it takes a full 6 seconds after you press the "Shortcuts" for the app list to appear. Not a big deal, but I find it odd that of all things that is what works slowly.
The thing that this phone does that really bothers me is that it seems to lose connection for no reason when I appear to have connectivity. So, I'm watching a YouTube video and it just stops playing. I'm listening to Rhapsody and it stops playing. Browsing the internet, click a link to go to the next page, no connection. There's even an app that is supposed to fix this issue, but I've run it and it still seems to occur. Aggravating, but not completely crippling.
I love the Android interface and the one thing that I love above all else on my phone is the Smart Actions app that came with it. Having an app that will automatically silence my phone, turn off the wifi and automatically text people who call me while I'm at work? Priceless.
Anyways, that's probably more about me & my Android experience than you wanted to know. I don't typically root my phones because the idea of bricking something that costs $450+ to replace scares the crap out of me, but also because I typically find that everything I need is already available without rooting. But I love new gadgets and I love reading about the cool new things that people can do with their phones.
Guess that's enough for now.06-28-2012 06:25 PM

Postproductivism And Rural Land Values
There are a multitude of interdisciplinary values that people derive from rural land. Productivism focuses on the commodity values of rural land, such as the use of land as a commercial input into agricultural production, timber harvesting and mineral extraction. Productivistic uses and values of rural land have been the traditional focus of rural land policy and management in the United States. Many rural areas in the United States are moving into a postproductivism era. Postproductivism focuses on both commodity and amenity values of rural land. Amenity values of rural land include recreational, aesthetic and ecological service values. When a rural area moves from productivism to postproductivism, value conflicts may arise between individuals and groups who have different preferences with respect to commodity and amenity values. Traditional rural institutions may not be set up to effectively handle such conflicts. There is a need to explore what types of institutions may be most effective in resolving rural land use problems related to the different and often competing values people place on rural land and landscapes.

For Fire Prevention Week, the Anaheim Fire Department is showing residents that fire safety starts in the home and in the garden.
Anaheim Fire and Rescue will host a block party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday where it will unveil a new FireSafe Demonstration Garden at the Weir Canyon Fire Station by Sycamore Park in Anaheim Hills.
"It is our hope to show people how they can landscape their property in a way that offers curb appeal while helping protect their home from the threat of wildfires," Sgt. Robert Dunn, department spokesman said. "The open house is an opportunity for people to ask questions, get education and see first-hand Anaheim Fire and Rescue's preparedness and response to wildfires."
The purpose of the 6,900-square-foot garden is to demonstrate using fire-resistant, low-water and native plants.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the garden will be held Saturday at the open house, though construction is expected to take several months, Dunn said.
Open house attendees will also have the opportunity to meet firefighters and see a fire truck up close, as well as participate in prize drawings.

Target: National School Boards Association
Goal: Encourage schools to speak out against the widespread overuse of ADHD medication
In a recent NY Times article, the superintendent of a California school district admitted that "diagnosis rates of ADHD have risen as sharply as school funding has declined." Within the past decade, the use of medications such as Adderall have skyrocketed and evidently, so have our youth's grade point averages, regardless of whether or not they have learning disorders. Urge US schools to create better learning environments for their students and help prevent the use of drugs on developing minds and bodies.
Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance and, given that it is an amphetamine, is considered highly addictive. One may even imagine sleep deprivation, desert explosions and violent scenes from one of America's most currently watched series, Breaking Bad, about a science teacher turned meth dealer. In fact, methamphetamine – the highly addictive, horribly destructive illegal street drug – actually shares a key component with the prescribed medicine for the average child struggling at school.
The short attention spans that seem to have affected youth dramatically in recent years should not be treated with the same "quick fix" principle from which the problem arose. Your son is throwing a temper tantrum? Turn on the TV. All your daughter's dolls have their hair snipped and dresses mismatched? Hand her the iPad with Barbie's Magic Closet App. Can't fix the school? Fix the kid.
Our schools are struggling as a result of poor government funding in an economic crisis. But does that justify the neglect of persistence and creativity? We must celebrate our ability to prevail through difficult circumstances and respect the longer and far more rewarding route to success. Please, take the time to sign this petition that encourages physicians, parents, and schools to educate, not medicate.
Dear members of the National School Boards Association,
ADHD medications are being swallowed by our youth as a mechanism, not to aid learning disorders, but to thrive in a suffering academic atmosphere. It is understandable that schools, parents, and physicians throughout the country want children to do well despite the wobbly economic funding for education. Popping amphetamines as a quick fix, however, could cause irrevocable damage to developing minds and bodies.
I urge you to encourage other solutions to your students and their parents. There must be ways to adjust curricula and learning processes to students' needs during this time. Attention spans naturally become less focused as a result of the superfluous use of technology. As educators, it is your duty to find ways to help children succeed – without taking highly addictive prescription drugs.
We must celebrate our ability to prevail through difficult circumstances and respect the longer, far more rewarding route to achievement. Please enliven the youth of your schools with education, not medication.
[Your Name Here]

Don't like my profile and considering Rhinoplasty: Do I Need a Chin Implant? (photo)
Doctor Answers 9
Rhinoplasty With And Without A Chin Implant
The best way to tell if a chin implant will improve the look of your face when doing a rhinoplasty is computer imaging. See what you would look by predictive imaging of a rhinoplasty with and without a chin implant. These pictures will answer your question, seeing is believing. If you decide for a chin implant, be careful about the style and size that is used. You have a retruded but long chin. You do not want to end up with a chin that is too big for your face.

Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation Often a Great Combo
Kudos to your surgeon for giving you good advice.
This underscores the importance of having a complete consultation where the doctor looks at and evaluates all facial features to give his best advice.
In my opinion, your chin result will be a great compliment to the rhinoplasty.
If in doubt, have computer imaging. Always a good idea to see the predicted result of the recommended procedure(s).
Best wishes.

Chin Implant with Rhinoplasty: Improved facial harmony and improved patient satisfaction
Rhinoplasty or nose job can improve both the look and function of your nose. Your nose is an important component to your face and correction of the cosmetic flaws in the nose depends on your face and facial balance. In profile, the chin and nose are points of focus and balance between the two is vital. A prominent nose and weak chin can give your face a rounded appearance, and in correcting the prominent nose an uncorrected chin can lead to a perceived underwhelming result. In a harmonious female face, the projection of the lower lip should be slightly in front of that of the chin. A weak chin can be easily corrected with a chin implant which is placed through a small incision in the natural crease in under the chin. This can be referred to as a mentoplasty or implant genioplasty, and the implant can be made of silicone(most common), porous polyethylene, or Gore-tex. Injectable fillers or biostimulators such as Sculptra can also be used as an adjunct to the implant. The operation can be performed at the time of the rhinoplasty and usually takes approximately one hour with no increase in recovery time. Some weak chins are too weak to be improved with even a large chin implant or the crease above the chin is too deep, which in this circumstance can be addressed with a more invasive and complicated jaw surgery (osseous genioplasty). The amount of chin projection should be discussed with your plastic surgeon and pre-operative measurements and imaging can be a useful tool in figuring the value of the procedure.
A chin implant is a nice complement to a rhinoplasty and should only improve the cosmetic appearance of your nose and face. It will not change your face too much!
I hope this helps.

Chin implant along with rhinoplasty
From your photos it does look like you are a candidate to have chin augmentation in addition to rhinoplasty. An under-projecting chin will make a chin look larger than it really is. Chin implant placement can be done at the same time as your rhinoplasty very easily.
Learn more: http://www.drlamperti.com/facial-plastic-surgery/chin-augmentation
Chin implant can improve the profile
Based on the picture I think you could benefit from a chin implant. But if this is not something that you have thought on your own. I would definitely think about it more before jumping into a chin implant. You can always do a chin implant later after your rhinoplasty. There are certain rules that plastic surgeon use to determine how far your chin should be on profile and you should have them talk to you about it.
Chin Implant and Rhinoplasty
You should thank your physician for being thorough during your rhinoplasty consultation. Like you, many patients are not aware that they lack ideal chin projection. I could make your nose look smaller by just placing a chin implant. I'm not suggesting this as an alternative to rhinoplasty, but a complimentary procedure.The implant will improve your profile, the balance between your nose and chin, and the definition of your neck and jawline. If you decide not to do the chin implant at this time, it can always be done later.
Chin implant
You do have a retruded chin. If your occlussion is appropriate and jaw funtion is normal a small implant to augment the chin would enhance your appearance.
Learn more: http://www.plasticsurg.org/plastic-surgery-chicago.html
Chin Implants
From your profile, it seems you are a good candidate for chin augmentation. The procedure takes half an hour and can be done under local or conscious sedation. First couple of weeks, there is some discomfort that can be controlled with medication. There will be some swelling which will be resolved with time.
Rhinoplasty and chin implant
The nose and chin must be in harmony to balance your face. What you have is very common. You do not need much reduction of your nose, only removal of the external curvature. With your very recessive chin, you will not get the desired nasal appearance you desire unless you markedly reduce the nose or, more aesthetically, augment the chin. In other words, adding a chin implant in someone like you is the standard of aesthetic revision and almost always provides a more natural and cosmetic appearance.

Adopt a dog month
October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month.
If you're ready to offer a home to a shelter dog, Petfinder.com has resources to help.
If you're not ready to adopt, the website has 10 easy ways you can help shelter dogs.
The website also includes the following features:
•Pre-adoption checklist
•Dog-adoption videos
•First 30 days tips
•New puppy guide
•Dog breed directory
Growths on dogs
Sebaceous gland adenomas (oil producings glands create the growths in some dogs as they age) are almost always benign and usually do no harm. But sometimes they annoy the dog.
The growths can be removed with traditional surgery, laser surgery, cryosurgery (using extreme cold) or electrosurgery (applying a high-frequency electrical current to destroy cells).
Aside from easing the dog's discomfort, the growths can be biopsied to find out if they're cancerous.
When removed properly, such growths don't return in the same place, although new ones might pop up.
•To declaw, or not
A declaw, or onychectomyi, is an amputation. A cat's toe has three bones, and the claw grows from the end of the last bone. In a declaw surgery, the veterinarian is amputating the last bone, which contains the growth plate for the claws.
An alternative to declawing would be to train the cat not to scratch the wrong things by providing scratching posts.

Show-off my open-source stuff, mostly of the Linux Audio/MIDI genre
or not even close...
Loop-recording/takes is now being featured right from Qtractor SVN trunk (aka. qtractor 0.5.1.18+). That means you now have the option to automatically fold any recording clip into so called takes, each take sliced from each loop run. Worth noting is that this all works somewhat seamless, whether you have the (loop recording mode) option turned on or else.
Time is the ultimate judge.
Last week-end the farthest of longjmp()'s has been invoked. Dennis Ritchie passed away. One book that I'm keen to remember was, and still is, "The C Programming Language", usually abbreviated as by just The K&R book. K's standing for Brian Kernighan, the R for the now late Dennis. This book changed, or better said, shaped my role in life or may I say it loud, my role in the society as we live in or I know about.
There's an excess of a quarter a century in my own life on this nostalgia already. Wait, it is not quite nostalgia as in portuguese term saudade, but an ever lasting spirit that still lingers on.
Dennis, on that regard, you are still alive. As long as any C compiler gets its toll. You are immortal. I envy you. I cannot stop repeating myself. As long as any C/C++ compiler gets its due, you won't ever rest in peace. I'm afraid it will be restless for times to come. So, there's no usual obituary R.I.P. from here to you Dennis, sorry.
I owe [you] much.
rtirq, the init script that automagically tunes up your system for audio, has been updated as much for better avoid duplicates when alsa device drivers share their irq line with something else. here you can find the upstream tarballs or this very latest. nb. rtirq only applies to preempt_rt or threadirqs enabled kernels (>= 2.6.39).
Summer is now long gone, obviously fall has already begun. As winter looms on the horizon the year steadily marches into its due end. (oh crap!...)
Today marks the day of this second public release while on the TYOQA age. It also marks yet another birthday of mine. One more year's gone, one less to go. Be happy! I hope you'd like my party as soon you get over from yesterday's bitten fruit showtime*.
Now's the time...
Yes, it's "bravo" alright, not "beta" nor anything else. Despite any previous existing codename. Now, it's all dumb-down easy to predict any next release codenames, a matter of convergence and fact that just chalks one less of a burden on me :)
Believe it or not, this is the best and, allegedly, the most stable release ever. Ain't them all? ;)
Release highlights:
* ps. as a matter of fact, bitten fruit's boss passed away on this very day; seconding his own beliefs he must have been reincarnated somehow... I wish him a jolly new journey ;)
Yay! It's been a great summer and, as always, good things never last longer. I remember two years ago when it made its premiere, also after a great summer vacation and a pretty longer and rather undercover existence. Two years have gone by now, there's nothing to be startling with. All that's about to say:
QXGEdit 0.1.1 slipped out!
If you're puzzled what this is, then don't worry nor go any further. This is just one extreme-niche piece of software program I've made for my own personal usage. But others may also feel compelled to try it out. I'm doin'g it just because I can :)
Now, already in its third public release, QXGEdit is a XG instrument editor, specially dedicated to the elderly Yamaha DB50XG. Yes, this is all synth-eldercare, if I may punch that line without the slightest lack of respect. How could it be? This is the best evidence I can show to the world how I love this piece of junk ;)
Only for the ones who know what I'm talking about ;)

Romantic Love Quotes
The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
~ by Josiah G. Holland ~
What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.
~ by Leo Buscaglia ~
Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention
and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases a
woman, what excites her, and what surprises her. Its actions
whisper: you are the most special person in my life.
~ by Charles Stanley ( A Man's Touch) ~
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.
~ by Unknown ~
It is the things in common
that make relationships enjoyable,
but it is the little differences
that make them interesting.
~ by Todd Ruthman ~
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms
about love you will find that you are left holding
only yourself.
~ by Leo Buscaglia ~
My heart to you is given:
Oh, do give yours to me;
We'll lock them up together,
And throw away the key.
~ by Frederick Saunders ~
The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
~ by Leo Buscaglia (Born For Love) ~
There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved.
~ by George Sand ~
Love is an act of endless forgiveness
A tender look which becomes a habit.
~ by Peter Ustinov ~

About the Park:
Santee State Park offers cabins, camping, biking, hiking, boating and fishing in the heart of one of the nation's best-known outdoors destinations – Santee Cooper Country.
The park sits along Lake Marion, one of the two lakes (the other's Moultrie) that gave birth to America's inland striped bass fishery. Together, the lakes cover more than 170,000 acres and now also are known for their abundant populations of huge catfish.
The park's rondette cabins, including 10 on piers over the lake, have been hosting outdoorsmen and families for generations. A community meeting building, with its large, screened-in grilling facility, also attracts groups.
Out in the lake across from the park is Lake Marion's flooded cypress forest. Pontoon boat tours into the lake's swampy headwaters are based out of the park's marina/park store.

Expedia car hire in Welshpool comes with No Hidden Fees
Offa's Dyke is a large earthwork that runs roughly along the boundary between England and Wales. Its construction is believed to have been ordered by King Offa, the 8th century king of Mercia, most likely to mark the border between Anglian Mercia and Powys in Wales. Today the construction is a protected scheduled monument and its route is followed by Offa's Dyke Path, a 177-mile public footpath between Liverpool Bay and the Severn Estuary. With a car you can drive out to invigorating walks along the path, leading through changing landscapes and offering fascinating glimpses of wildlife.
There are numerous towns and villages in the area around Welshpool that have held onto their old world charm and seem almost untouched by time. Each has a unique character, but some worth mentioning are Montgomery, Llanfair Caereinion and Berriew, all within a short drive from Welshpool.
Why not book a car rental through Expedia in advance of your visit, so you can reach Welshpool easily after your flight lands, and immerse yourself in the beautiful landscapes and cultural heritage of this fascinating region during your stay?

Complexity in the European party space: Exploring dimensionality with experts
Does the n-issue space in domestic European polities reduce to one, two, or more dimensions? How do these dimensions relate to each other? More broadly, how does dimensionality vary across countries? We attempt to advance our understanding of political contestation in Europe by mapping the dimensionality of the political space across 24 countries using Chapel Hill expert survey (CHES) data. We test how well different models of the European political space fit the CHES data and find that three-dimensional models best fit the data in all countries. However, there is considerable cross-national variation in how the three dimensions relate to one another. Given this, we present a new measure of dimensional complexity that captures the degree to which these three dimensions are related. In so doing, we improve our understanding of the complexity of the political space in European countries.

Consider a few facets of the Republican economic plan should they return to power. We have House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) calling for raising the Social Security retirement age to 70 and cutting benefits. Couple that with the effects of GOP calls to extend the Bush tax cuts for millionaires:
A Republican plan to extend tax cuts for the rich would add more than $36 billion to the federal deficit next year -- and transfer the bulk of that cash into the pockets of the nation's millionaires, according to a congressional analysis...
New data from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation show that households earning more than $1 million a year would reap nearly $31 billion in tax breaks under the GOP plan in 2011, for an average tax cut per household of about $100,000.
Such plans even draw objections from some conservative economists:
Even some Republicans, including Reagan administration budget chief David Stockman and former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, have urged lawmakers to let them expire and allow income tax rates to pop back up to their levels during the Clinton administration.
The incoherence of the Republican position is displayed by the fact that many of them pose as deficit hawks. Sure, they want to cut spending on programs like Social Security–but only in order to continue shoveling cash at the millionaires and billionaires who are crucial to their campaigns. Such contributions are easier to make than ever, thanks to the Supreme Court's conservative judicial activism in terms of rejecting corporate campaign spending limits.
Of course, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wonders what all the fuss is about, asking of the tax cuts, "Why did it all of a sudden become something that we, quote, 'pay for'?" The Joint Committee on Taxation also refutes McConnell's assertion that ending the cuts will "affect 50 percent of small business income"; according to the committee, it will affect less than 3 percent.
Sam Seder asked several New Yorkers what they thought of Republican plans to cut Social Security and extend Bush tax cuts for millionaires. One presented a succinct summary: "They value wealth over everything and they just want the rich to get richer... To cut social security and at the same time give massive tax cuts to the wealthy while complaining about a deficit is immoral, disgusting and stupid." Watch:

Also! The very concrete options provided for the "my details" section are very problematic. I called myself an "agnostic"--maybe that's right. But really, I'm a "seeker," and a committed seeker. I'm very familiar with Catholicism/Christianity, fairly familiar with Buddhism and Judaism. But I'm always seeking a reason to believe. That might seem out of the blue, but it's an important piece of me.

With the liberal media doing its best to promote ObamaCare and hide the numerous problems associated with the healthcare law, here's another bad ObamaCare story that likely won't receive the attention it deserves.
According to ABC News 10 in California, a California couple "received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party." [Click here to see video.]
var p = new anv_pl_def(); p.config = {}; p.config.width = 520; p.config.height = 293; p.loadVideoExpressV3
The couple refused to reveal their identity but the article noted that "They have lived in La Mesa for years and they have always been registered to vote Republican. Now, they are perplexed as to how the voter registration card pre-marked Democrat ended in their mailbox." The article continued by describing the problems Covered California has had with their voter registration program:
Covered California began mailing out voter signup cards to nearly 4 million enrollees last week after being threatened with a lawsuit by voting rights groups. But that does not explain the pre-filled out voter registration card."
It's a waste of money because there's an awful lot of people who are going to get this that are already registered and they don't need to. I can see that, but I can't see putting x on the form before it's given to me in a little bitty box that nobody's really going to notice," said the recipient of the mailer.
As The Media Research Center has documented, the networks have continued to bury ObamaCare's bad news, so this latest example out of California will likely receive the same non-coverage as all the rest.
