The SmartScreen filter built into Windows automatically scans applications, files, downloads, and websites, blocking known-dangerous content and warning you before you run unknown applications. You can disable it, if you like.
We recommend you leave SmartScreen enabled. It provides an additional layer of security that helps protect your PC, whether you're using antivirus or not. Even if SmartScreen automatically blocks an unknown application you know is safe, you can click through the warning to run the application anyway.
Block Spyware, Malware, and Ransomware the Easy Way with Malwarebytes
Running antivirus is still very important, but these days the really active threats are from spyware, adware, crapware, and the worst of all: ransomware. That's where Malwarebytes comes in.
Malwarebytes not only protects your computer from malware, but does a better job of cleaning up an infected computer than anything else on the market. And it doesn't just work on PCs — they have a Mac version too.
And to protect your browser against zero-day exploits, Malwarebytes also includes Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware features, which can stop drive-by attacks cold. And best of all, you can run Malwarebytes alongside your existing antivirus to keep yourself fully protected.
Windows 10
Starting with Windows 10's Creators Update, SmartScreen settings are now located in the Windows Defender Security Center interface. Launch the "Windows Defender Security Center" shortcut in your Start menu to open it.
Click the "App & browser control" icon in Windows Defender's sidebar to find these settings.
There are three different Windows SmartScreen filters, and you can configure separate options for each. Select "Block" block unrecognized applications, "Warn" to view a warning you can click through, or "Off" to disable Windows SmartScreen entirely. Even if you have "Warn" enabled, SmartScreen will always block known-dangerous content—it'll just warn you before running unrecognized applications. However, if you disable SmartScreen entirely, SmartScreen won't be able to block known-dangerous files.
The "Check apps and files" option controls the operating system's SmartScreen filter, which protects you no matter where you download files from. When you try to open a downloaded application or file in File Explorer or another application, Windows will check that application or file and block it or display a warning if it's unrecognized.
The "SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge" option controls the SmartScreen filter build into the Microsoft Edge browser. It blocks malicious websites and downloads, but only in Microsoft Edge.
The "SmartScreen for Windows Store apps" filter is used when apps you download from the Windows Store access web content. It warns you before those apps load dangerous content.
Windows 8
On Windows 8, you'll find this option in the Control Panel. Navigate to Control Panel > System and Security > Action Center.
Expand the "Security" section, locate Windows SmartScreen in the list, and click "Change settings" under it.
You can then choose what Windows does with unrecognized programs. You can have Windows require administrator approval before running an unknown program, warn you without requiring administrator approval, or select "Don't do anything" to turn off Windows SmartScreen.

Canada's Largest Supermarket Chain Scores in Q4
A flagging economy and IT upgrades will adversely affect Loblaws' fiscal 2009 earnings, though.
Loblaw Cos., Ltd., Canada's largest supermarket chain, posted a quarterly profit in the last quarter of 2008, helped by a few one-time items, but is bracing for a tough 2009.
Sales were buoyed in the last quarter compared with a year ago by having an extra week included in the tally, which also included the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Restructuring costs also went down, contributing to the solid numbers. Revenues rose to CAN $7.75 billion (US $6.15 billion) in the last quarter.
The results were dampened, however, by a less-than-rosy outlook for the remainder of 2009. Loblaws is spending CAN $100 million (US $79.4 million) on information technology upgrades, and this, combined with the tough economy, should decrease earnings for 2009.
"This investment, coupled with the continuing economic challenges and competitive pressures are expected to challenge results in 2009," the Brampton, Ont.-based company said.

Today, Rep. Joe Crowley (Queens, the Bronx) applauded a joint announcement by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that HUD will grant $72.6 million to public housing agencies nationwide to provide permanent housing and case management for more than 10,000 homeless veterans. As part of this grant, the New York City Veterans Administration is slated to receive $4.5 million to provide 400 new housing vouchers to help New York City's homeless veterans.
"The fact that over 10,000 of our nation's heroes are without a roof over their heads is a national tragedy and is just plain unacceptable," said Rep. Crowley. "I applaud President Obama and his administration for putting our veterans first and ensuring the brave men and women who serve our nation honorably will receive the help they need and deserve. While this grant is a good start to helping the estimated 2,000 homeless veterans in New York City, there is much more that needs to be done. I am committed to eliminating the words "homeless veteran' from our vocabulary once and for all, and will continue to work hard to ensure we meet the needs of all our veterans."
The funds designated for New York City will be divided between two VA hospitals in the City, the James J. Peters VAMC in the Bronx and the New York Harbor HCS in Manhattan. These medical centers provide support services and case management to thousands of area veterans.
Crowley has been a staunch advocate for New York's veterans. In addition to long-supporting efforts to provide much-needed assistance to homeless veterans, Crowley has also supported expanding benefits and enhancing services for veterans, and efforts to help put veterans back to work. Recently, he worked with the VA and veterans groups to help stop the transfer of land at St. Albans Community Living Center to private developers, ensuring the land remains for the sole use of veterans. Working with the Queens American Legion, Crowley worked to provide funding and support for state-of-the-art traumatic brain injury, or TBI, research -- a top health concern for veterans returning from combat.
Congressman Crowley is a seven-term representative from the 7th Congressional District of New York, which includes sections of Queens and the Bronx. He serves as chief deputy whip in the Democratic leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives and is a member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.

Audi RS7 Set to Launch With 580-HP Twin-Turbo V10
Audi is planning to launch a high-performance RS version of its upcoming A7 Sportback model. According to a report by AutoCar, the standard A7 model will debut at the Paris Auto Show this fall, with the RS7 joining the lineup the following year.
Like the RS6, the 7 will get a twin-turbo version of the Lamborghini-sourced 5.2-liter V10 engine, making roughly 580-hp. Other engines likely to appear in the A7 include Audi's new supercharged V6, a 4.2-liter gasoline V8 and a diesel V6 for the European market.
Audi has confirmed that the A7 will be sold in the U.S., which gives us hope that after being denied the RS6, Audi fans might just be able to appreciate the wonders of a 580-hp twin-turbo Audi on this side of the Atlantic thanks to the RS7.

Editorial Reviews
From Bookmarks Magazine
One of the major issues dividing the critics was whether Carr's claim that the Internet has shortchanged our brain power is, essentially, correct. Many bought into his argument about the neurological effects of the Internet, but the more expert among them (Jonah Lehrer, for one) cited scientific evidence that such technologies actually benefit the mind. Still, as Lehrer, in the New York Times Book Review, points out, Carr is no Luddite, and he fully recognizes the usefulness of the Internet. Other criticism was more trivial, such as the value of Carr's historical and cultural digressions--from Plato to HAL. In the end, Carr offers a thought-provoking investigation into our relationship with technology--even if he offers no easy answers. --This text refers to the Audible Audio Edition edition.
From Booklist
Carr—author of The Big Switch (2007) and the much-discussed Atlantic Monthly story "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"—is an astute critic of the information technology revolution. Here he looks to neurological science to gauge the organic impact of computers, citing fascinating experiments that contrast the neural pathways built by reading books versus those forged by surfing the hypnotic Internet, where portals lead us on from one text, image, or video to another while we're being bombarded by messages, alerts, and feeds. This glimmering realm of interruption and distraction impedes the sort of comprehension and retention "deep reading" engenders, Carr explains. And not only are we reconfiguring our brains, we are also forging a "new intellectual ethic," an arresting observation Carr expands on while discussing Google's gargantuan book digitization project. What are the consequences of new habits of mind that abandon sustained immersion and concentration for darting about, snagging bits of information? What is gained and what is lost? Carr's fresh, lucid, and engaging assessment of our infatuation with the Web is provocative and revelatory. --Donna Seaman --This text refers to the Audible Audio Edition edition.

At the same time that the Internet is changing the world, bringing us closer together around masses of information, it is changing our ability to think and it is changing our brains in dangerous ways. The issue is not the content of the Internet, but its process.
The human adapts to its tools and its tasks. Give a man a hammer for a lifetime's work and his body shapes to effectively drive nails. Take away his pen and give him a typewriter with a ball and his prose turns from fluid to staccato. (That happened to Nietzsche in the late nineteenth century.) In that process of adaption the brain, since it is not a machine but an organ, changes. These changes can be seen with instruments and their results observed in human behavior. This is the world of Nicholas Carr.
I will describe a tiny fraction of what the Internet is doing to our brains.
1) The brain, confronted with a glowing screen and the ability to hypertext its way from one interruption to another across the universe of knowledge from what its buddy in Australia thinks of rutabagas, to the spelling of rutabagas to the history of rutabagas to dishes that can be prepared from rutabagas leaves the brain sliding from one fact of surface interest to another fact even less useful, until it occurs to the brain to pursue the prompt on the pop-up menu and check the weather and get off of this slide onto the weather channel where a five minute video on playful seals on San Francisco Bay can be watched for free which does remind the brain that it could slide over to Facebook and find out if anyone "liked" the picture of the family cat posted an hour ago. And many do. Twenty-three "likes," praise the Lord.
Just as the carpenter's arm grew it muscles to deal effectively with the hammer the brain changes to succeed in a slippy slidey world of itty bitty bits of knowledge intended to interest momentarily and then disappear.
So what will happen when it confronts a life choice? Will this passive instrument skidding from meaningless bit to another meaningless bit see itself suddenly as an agent? A "decider?" Or will it in panic seek the next button to push, even if that button bears the label "Self Destruct?"
According to Time magazine this is happening now in the Silicon Valley high schools; kids depressed and without a sense of agency pushed around by the ripples on the surface of the Internet are choosing to leave life. Rutabagas have lost their interest. Having your cat liked did not fill the hole intended for having yourself loved. And this child is not accustomed to doing things about things. This child does not do. This child is done to. With the same alacrity that he or she pursued the prompt to watch the seals he or she may "decide" it is time to end this.
2) I discovered my wife of the last forty-three years with whom I have raised two children and now five grandchildren with much happiness when while sitting on her front lawn, I seriously told her my goals in life. She thought they were so funny she actually rolled over laughing.
If I had instituted a computer search what algorithm would have found her an appropriate match? Yet this brain of mine sorted through whatever book-formed channels it had and locked in immediately on her as the "one," the antidote to the man who takes himself too seriously. The Internet would have provided me many potential companions, each more serious than the last. That is the way it works. It finds my interests and then adds to the pile. If I follow its suggestions I become narrower and narrower, a better candidate to respond to the advertisers, a defined target, and a wealth of possibilities pass me by.
3) For something to remain in long-term memory it must spend two hours in short term memory. (There is actually a tiny physical growth that must happen.) But on the trip through rutabaga land, things go in and out too quickly to be grafted on the long-term nodules. Of course it still exists in the computer's memory. When you know you need it, it can be sought. However the advantage of the human memory is that it coughs up stored information when you need it but do not know you need it. Not only does your intellect call on your memory, but your memory initiates conversations with your intellect. You won't have that ability any longer. And since your long-term memory is not being used the section of the brain devoted to long-term memory has already begun to shrink.
Distant memories of your mother's tears, your father's embrace, your sisters admiration and your little brother's needs will be crowded out of the brain, and I doubt if you will find them in Internet land either.
4) There are now residential therapy centers to assist the hooked to unhook from the Internet. The Internet lights up the same section of the brain as does cocaine. Didn't' know those grade school kids were getting a buzz? Makes what may be happening to my grandchildren a little less cute and a little less funny.
Read The Shallows yourself. What I have written is just a corner of the future described there. See if it scares you! And if it does, see who else you can scare with it. Hope they have enough of an attention span left to read the book. (A sign of the times is that people who used to write books no longer can read them. Not enough slippy and slidey. Boring!)
Can the majority of us survive without complex and nuanced thought? Without deep and poignant memories? Do we want to?
The argument in question?
- Greater access to knowledge is not the same as greater knowledge.
- An ever-increasing plethora of facts & data is not the same as wisdom.
- Breadth of knowledge is not the same as depth of knowledge.
- Multitasking is not the same as complexity.
The studies that Carr presents are troubling, to say the least. From what has been gleaned to date, it's clear that the brain retains a certain amount of plasticity throughout life -- that is, it can be reshaped, and the way that we think can be reshaped, for good or for ill. Thus, if the brain is trained to respond to & take pleasure in the faster pace of the digital world, it is reshaped to favor that approach to experiencing the world as a whole. More, it comes to crave that experience, as the body increasingly craves more of anything it's trained to respond to pleasurably & positively. The more you use a drug, the more you need to sustain even the basic rush.
And where does that leave the mind shaped by deep reading? The mind that immerses itself in the universe of a book, rather than simply looking for a few key phrases & paragraphs? The mind that develops through slow, quiet contemplation, mulling over ideas in their entirety, and growing as a result? The mature mind that ponders possibilities & consequences, rather than simply going with the bright, dazzling, digital flow?
Nowhere, it seems.
Carr makes it clear that the digital world, like any other technology that undeniably makes parts of life so much easier, is here to stay. All the more reason, then, to approach it warily, suspiciously, and limit its use whenever possible, since it is so ubiquitous. "Yes, but," many will say, "everything is moving so fast that we've got to adapt to it, keep up with it!" Not unlike the Red Queen commenting that it takes all of one's energy & speed to simply remain in one place while running. But what sort of life is that? How much depth does it really have?
Because some aspects of life -- often the most meaningful & rewarding aspects -- require time & depth. Yet the digital world constantly makes us break it into discrete, interchangeable bits that hurtle us forward so rapidly & inexorably that we simply don't have time to stop & think. And before we know it, we're unwilling & even unable to think. Not in any way that allows true self-awareness in any real context.
Emerson once said (as aptly quoted by Carr), "Things are in the saddle / And ride mankind." The danger is that we'll not only willingly, even eagerly, wear those saddles, but that we'll come to desire them & buckle them on ever more tightly, until we feel naked without them. And we'll gladly pay anything to keep them there, even as we lose the capacity to wonder why we ever put them on in the first place.
Most highly recommended!

Triofe Al Pesto Genovese
Don't be intimidated by homemade pasta: it takes just two ingredients -- semolina and water -- to make these hand-formed, torpedo-shaped triofe noodles from "The Geometry of Pasta," by Caz Hildebrand and Jacob Kenedy.
- Servings: 2
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, October 2010
For the Pesto
- 1 clove garlic
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 cups packed fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 cup pine nuts, preferably Italian
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 3/4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For the Triofe
- 1/3 pound semolina or dried triofe or linguine
- 5 new potatoes (1/3 pound), peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 1/2 ounces thin green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/4-inch-long pieces
Make the Pesto: Place garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Crush using the flat side of a large knife. Continue crushing using both sides of the knife in a back-and-forth fashion until a paste is formed. Transfer garlic paste to the bowl of a food processor along with basil and both cheeses; process until smooth. Add pine nuts and pulse until almost smooth. Add olive oil and butter; let stand for about 3 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Pesto may be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month.
Make the Triofe: Place semolina on a work surface and make a well in the center. Add 6 tablespoons water to well. Slowly incorporate the semolina with the water until well combined (if mixture seems to dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, as necessary); knead to form a dough. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes.
Working on a large clean wooden board, break off a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll to make a long, 1/8-inch-thick strand; cut each strand into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces.
Working with one piece of dough at a time, use the flat side of a knife at a 45-degree angle to both the board and the dough, and draw it across and along the dough to create a deep, spiraling groove along the length. Grooves should extend within the dough, and inner surface will be rough and outside smooth. The dough has now been rolled and stretched into a rectangle in the process, the angle of the knife causing the dough to roll up diagonally, creating the torpedo shape. Repeat process with remaining pieces. Repeat process until all the dough is used; set aside and let dry slightly, about 20 minutes.
Alternatively, roll one piece of pasta between your hands to start the torpedo shape. One by one, roll the lengths between the ball of your palm and the board with considerable pressure, sliding your hand along the length as you go. The friction should cause the strip to flatten and twist into an irregular helix. Add a little more pressure at the start and finish to taper the ends and create a torpedo shape. You need to have friction between the dough and the board; if dough skids, dampen board slightly. Repeat process with remaining pieces. Repeat process until all the dough is used; set aside and let dry slightly, about 20 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; generously salt and return to a boil. Add pasta, potatoes, and green beans; cook until pasta, potatoes, and green beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with a dollop of pesto.


text: Built at the turn of the century and masterfully modernized while retaining old-world charm, this enchanting homestead offers the best of country-style living with all the "city" bells and whistles. A classic white-shingled farm house with picket fence and five outbuildings; connections to township water and sewer; and a great location just around the bend from downtown Hopewell's shops, eateries and parks. The home's country kitchen engagingly plays old-fashioned wood cabinets (the top half with glass doors) against a suite of stainless steel appliances, including a Viking gas stove and hood. Nearby are a step-in pantry and adjoining laundry/mudroom with half bath. In the dining room, French doors frame a lovely vista and drench the interior with light. At the front, a living room with fireplace and built-in bookcases, and a family room, are ideally proportioned and flank the main staircase. Upstairs, explore a master bedroom with bath, plus two bedrooms, second bath, dressing room and sitting room with hidden staircase. Several outbuildings serve as extensions of the house. A breezeway for morning coffee or al fresco dining sits between the house and a former chicken coop refurbished with electric and propane heat. This building has served as a convenient home office as well as additional play/entertaining space. A large barn still has stalls, workshop and a hayloft. A great space for a hobbyist, car enthusiast or antique dealer. This home has served many families over its lifetime and is waiting for his next Steward. A very unique borough home. Central Air is on the second floor only.

A Code Thief is someone who has used using other people's work or codes without their permission. This also applies to stealing/using/reproducing someone else's work and claiming it as their own, which can be classed as Copyright Infringement. Whilst one may credit, they may not have gotten permission still from the original creator to use, so bear in mind that. Being a Code Thief means that you will get less respect from the NFM community.
What counts is that the original author of the work s/he has done knows that someone is using his/her work. If that is the case, credit the original creator or otherwise say that it isn't your work.
Thus, they can come under any Username - only trust those you know who WILL do the right thing.
Even an NFM Modification is prone to code thiefs. Because of the insecurity of Cars and Stages mostly, code thiefs will have the chance to obtain the codes.
Some recommendations and tips include:
- Remember - If someone is asking for a code of a certain work you have created, do you trust them? Do you know them well? You have the right to say NO and reject the request.
- Release your NFM Version Privately. This means that you will only release it to certain people whom you trust. One method of releasing it privately is that you can start taking names of people who WILL get your modification as long as they apply for the pre-order. A deadline for pre-ordering must be set so that there will not be too many users ordering your NFM version. You must also have a set of rules when people get your version. Remember, you have the right to deny people to access your version via trust and impressions of them (even more!)
Whoever you want, go ahead and share your work. If there is a work you are not proud of or you do not mind sharing, you can paste the code of a Car/Stage that you do not mind it being forged.
Code Thievery in NFMM
Upon further inspection, lots of people's work/cars have been obtained through the NFMM server's defence and the thief can publish the obtained code Public or Super Public. It is not known yet otherwise how they could obtain the code even if the car was Private.
If you do happen to see someone using someone elses car and it has their name on, warn the original creator of the work as soon as possible with Evidence (e.g. Screenshot) so that they could show the evidence to Omar.
| Really, I am ready to delete anyone's account and refund him/her if they are stealing cars.
Just give them a warning, if they don't comply, tell me about it and show me some evidence and I will delete.
Only then if some people Java Hack the game so that they can obtain the codes. This user was infamous for forging cars through the NFMM's encrypted server. At the time, the user forged LegnaK's Buggati Veyron and even mimiced/replicated Turbo's iQ Waster.
| This highlighted what I think is a major problem with custom cars. If someone takes the work or creation of another, and reproduces it without permission, there should be some way for the owner to reclaim their work. Time and time again, I have see people's creations stolen, copied, and released to the public (a perfect example would be "Grand Ark", made by DivineSpirit). There needs to be some way that a person can reclaim their hard work, and prevent it from being distributed. If this goal can be attained through the removal of the entire car from the person's account, and/or a ban of increasing severity that eventually leads to account deactivation, so be it. We cannot have people going around and stealing/faking codes like this, it's just not right!
Where I come from (America), it's illegal to steal or reproduce someone's work without their permission (it's known as a copyright). There are ways that a person, if they feel their work has been stolen or reproduced without permission, can regain what is rightfully theirs, and I feel that NFM needs a similar system, as soon as possible.
Another example of such thievery is HOTWHEELS.
If you do happen to see a stolen/replicated car, in which you know the original creator, whether Public/Super Public, DO NOT:
- Use it
- Credit the thief
- Download it to your car files
Only use the ORIGINAL creation from the original creator. That way, the original creator will be praised instead of the thief.
Some time ago, Omar has given this user three days to remove the cars that did not belong to him/her but failed to comply with the warning therefore, the account has been deactivated. The situation has improved though, because it may deter code theives from having their account deactivated. Of course, there are more code thieves out there.
| Elite-Racer-V3 has failed to comply to the warnings and has been deleted!
His account does not exist anymore.
Also all published cars by him have been deleted (not just the ones in his account)...
To lower the chances of your cars from being forged by anyone, try to use your customs rarely and make sure the customs aren't shown in front of the user as well!
Unfortunately, code thieves can be hard to identify and spot so most of the usually tend to get away from getting into trouble. So it is important to be vigilant of the NFM Community at ALL times.
Some possible methods of identifying code thieves:
- First Impressions - do you think they are suspiscous of thievery?
- Trust - Do you know them well or are they completely anonymous to you?
- Look through their videos (if they have any!), does it contain a stolen work?
If you have any suggestions into what can be put here, please comment. More information = the merrier. Remember to refrain from Spamming, otherwise your suggestion may not appear here.

Posted this comment on the Seddie page a few days ago, but not a lot of you guys responded.
Okay, if you guys have read my fanfictions. I'm SeddieJathanFan on FF.net. If you read 'em you know I usually write Future Fan fictions, where Sam and Freddie are married and have 2 kids. Nowadays, if I get an idea in my head. I scribble it down on a piece of paper and usually start writing after I feed my daughter at night. I have bad insomnia. So, anyway I've had this idea to start a story from where they get back together called iBreak Down. Ch. 1 being "iStill Love You." Besides jealousy, what's that something that would make them get back together?
Here's part of the end scene in in iStill Love You..
Freddie yells, "Sam, Sam will you stop ignoring me?!"
"What do you want, Benson?" Sam groans.
"To figure out why you left Carly's party so fast."
She walks away. He grabs her arm
"Sam, stop and this time don't walk away from me."
.... writers block
She groans and shoves in the chest "You idiot! You don't get it."
"Get what?"
Freddie yells, "What you wanna just go home and shred those emails again? You've been avoiding me all week."
"You wanna know why I did that?" Sam asks him
Freddie replies, "Yeah."
She cries "I don't want to think about our relationship, when it was so good. Don't you get it. I do care about you. Dude, do you know how hard is it to do iCarly with you and tell you how I feel."
Freddie asks, "Well, how do you feel?"
"I still love you."
They kiss..
I'm thinking of writing this chapter tomorrow night and hopefully finishing it up before my hubby goes back to school on the 9th. And because he's going back to school. That cuts into my time on wiki, which I'll explain in my next, but do any Seddie fans have any ideas to fill up this chapter. Please comment!

It's the end of the day, you're exhausted and bed is calling so you head wearily to the bathroom to give your skin the once over, spritz on a toner and moisturiser and head to bed without much thought – sound familiar? Whilst any evening cleanse is better than none, daily build-up from make-up, pollution, dirt and toxins form a thick layer of impurities that when left on skin take more than just a gentle rinse to rid of, even if you don't wear make-up!The bad news is that when left behind, this residue can lead to premature signs of ageing and skin dullness – this is where the double cleansing method comes to the rescue. Some green beauties will already have two cleansers in their bathroom cabinets for tailoring their cleanse to how their skin feels or the season, which means as luck would have it they are already set up to switch to the double cleanse method.
Wondering what this cleansing method entails? The premise of the double cleanse is to provide a 'deep clean', first clearing the surface residue from the skin, before advancing deeper into the pores. Not only does a cleanse as thorough as this allow skin to breathe and repair overnight, it additionally allows the skin to better absorb the serums and moisturisers we apply afterwards.
According to Content Nutritionist and Facialist Fay Halkaitis the double cleanse method is well worth the extra 5 minutes in the evening: "Double cleansing is really the only way to effectively remove most make-up and sunscreens products. It can help re-balance your skin - reducing sebum for an oily skin and hydrating a dry skin, plus by properly cleansing you will get the most out of your other skincare products."
According to our Resident Acupuncturist and Skincare Specialist Laura Jones, an efficient double cleanse should feature an oil-based cleanser and a gel or cream cleanser to follow. The oil cleanser dissolves oil based dirt such as make-up, sunscreen and pollution, followed by a gel or cream cleanser to remove dead skin cells and water-based forms of pollution.
The Double Cleanse Ritual
- For the first cleanse, use an oil based cleanser. Using upward sweeping strokes, gently apply to skin from the neck up, over the chin and nose, and up to the forehead. This will gently lift the dirt from the face. To remove the cleanser, rinse or compress using a clean organic muslin cloth that has been warmed by running it under a hot tap.
- For the second cleanse, use a gel or cream based product. Work deeper into the skin using small circular motions with your finger-tips, working around the nose and chin area and the hairline and rinse again using the cloth.
- When cleansing the eyes always support the delicate skin around the eyes by gently sweeping down and outwards with your fingers, whilst supporting at the brow. If using a separate cleanser for the eyes, it is okay to use organic cotton pads instead of a muslin cloth.
Clever Cleanser Combos
This list is gives an idea of some cleanser combinations that work well together. There lots more great options too!
- For normal to combination skin: Tata Harper Nourishing Cleansing Oil + Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser (see image above!)
- For delicate skin: MV Organic Skincare Pure Jojoba + MV Organic Skincare Gentle Cream Cleanser
- For dull skin: Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel + Oskia Perfect Cleanser
- For oily skin: RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Oil + Amala Purifying Gel Cleanser
- For dry skin: De Mamiel Restorative Cleansing Balm + Therapi Orange Blossom Honey Gel Cleanser

How to define this plant ?
It's an Hybrid or an Spontaneous Mutation . It come from volunteer seedling, I always have Amaranthus in the garden with velvet foliage ( Amaranthus Cruentus ) - like Pygmy Torch, Oeshberg, Elephant Head etc....
This year I find for the first time this plant, a mix of velvet leaf and brown-green leaf.
It's the " Cleopatra " ( canna ) of the Amaranthus .
I hope he survive and produce a lot of seeds !
Here is the pic.
Hybrid or Spontaneous Mutation ??
How to define this plant ?
That is very pretty! I don`t know about the leaves but that sure is interesting. It reminds me of the "Summer Poinsettia" amaranthus. Some of mine sprouted completely burgundy while others were variegated green and burgundy. I haven`t see any with leaves like that yet.
I planted some of those this year.

Description: Organic Disciplemaking is a comprehensive guide to developing another believer into a soul-winning disciple-maker through relationships, not programs or classes. The authors are practitioners, discipling numerous believers and creating leaders in a growing church called Xenos Christian Fellowship located in Columbus, Ohio. This resource covers every aspect of relational discipleship and deals with stagnation and other negative issues as well as how to study the Word together and help them disciple someone when the time is right. If anyone could pinpoint what's missing in the church today, it would be the fact that few church members are discipling others naturally. This resource can change all that!

During Dennis McCallum's first year in college he began taking his friends to home Bible studies he and friends had formed. As the group developed they also began a publishing enterprise. When their group grew to include several high school and adult home groups in the central Ohio area, Dennis realized his need to get more training He completed his seminary training at Ashland Theological Seminary and returned to continue developing the group in Columbus, Ohio.Dennis and his colleagues formed a new ministry group in 1994 called "The Crossroads Project," to teach apologetics to the church at large. Their book, The Death of Truth (Bethany House) addresses the subject of postmodernism, which they call the guiding spirit of our times. They show that American society has forsaken truth, that reason and rationality are viewed as cultural biases, and that truth-especially God's truth-doesn't exist. Dennis McCallum, with others from Xenos also presents a Postmodern Challenge Conference at universities throughout the countryDennis, his wife and children are all involved in activities and ministries in Xenos. They make their home in Ohio.
Jessica Lowery and her husband, Ryan, are leaders of a network of house churches in Xenos Christian Fellowship. She teaches the popular course, Creative Discipleship. She also wrote Spiritual Confidence.

Black Box ServSwitch Octopus 1664 - remote control Product Details
The ServSwitch Octopus minimizes video signal degradation. This enables transmissions of higher screen resolutions at even longer distances over solid CAT5 UTP cable or higher. With every switching activity, the Octopus measures the transmitted KVM signals and equalizes them automatically for the best video performance - all without requiring any changes within the system's setup. Not only can consoles used for server management be easily located outside the server room, but dislocated servers can also be placed outside the server room, too. What's more, all these servers can be homogeneously connected end to end up to a distance of 984.3 feet (300 m).
The ServSwitch Octopus best fits mission-critical environments. One example is its use at a TV broadcasting company, where "on-air" operation requires redundancy and flexibility. In this application, most of the company's content is no longer stored on tapes but on video or music file servers that are loaded with gigabytes of data. Because live broadcasting is very expensive, mere seconds of downtime during commercials could cost any TV station lots of money! But the high availability as well as the easy setup of the ServSwitch Octopus system makes it the right tool for this application. It provides many operators with simultaneous access to critical servers and helps guarantee downtime-free 24/7/365 operation.
And because the system's brilliant video quality ensures high-resolution graphics even at longer distances, broadcasting operating rooms can be placed in dislocated areas where operators control "on-air" processes through graphic-intensive applications. The critical servers that store content can be hosted in dedicated air-conditioned server rooms for extended lifetime and reduced costs.

Our parents, Republicans and Democrats, made the national public investments that made our country an economic engine: A national system of highways, railways, bridges; a power transmission grid; a network of phone lines for communications. We need to make the same investments today -- rebuilding our roads and bridges, making our power grid smarter and more efficient, and supporting new means of communication for all Americans, through broadband and wireless.
A local illustration is at the Port of San Diego, where I serve as a Port Commissioner. We provide maritime jobs that pay $10,000 more annually than the average San Diego job. But one of our biggest challenges in growing that job base is our limited connection to the national highways and rail system. We don't have the ability to fund those connections by ourselves; but with a national strategy for ports, we could identify and make the investments that will help us increase trade and efficiency. That could put a lot of San Diegans back to work right away.
China invests 9% of its gross domestic product in infrastructure investment. Europe is investing 5%. In America, we invest 2.5%, and Congress is trying to cut that. In Congress, I will fight for infrastructure investment so we can increase our competitiveness in a global economy.

You have to give The Producers of Sean Cody credit for pairing up Nathan and Lane, if for nothing else than allowing me to play endlessly here on this guyВ's name.
They could have thrown us a curveball and called it Lane & Nathan, of course, but I donВ't want to live in a world where that could happen.
NathanВ's on top because thatВ's just how he do. And LaneВ's on the bottom, playing The Good Wife role perfectly.
After comparing height (Nathan is about 7? taller than Lane!) and a whole mess oВ' kissinВ', we start off the anal play in Part 1 with some rockinВ' doggie action. Nathan fucks Lane ferociously, showing off his inner Lion King in the process.
A quick jump and all of a sudden LaneВ's on top, riding Nathan hard. Both guys are perfectly positioned and as a result look awesome for the camera. Soon, cum flies out of Lane like a bird let free out of The Birdcage. Not to be outdone, Nathan delivers a creampie.
Part 2 is a pile drive from Heaven, allowing the crew to show off NathanВ's ripped body as he pounds down into Lane, who erupts all over his own face as heВ's fucked. Big Nathan then pours (almost literally) his own cumload into LaneВ's stretched and waiting pink hole. A snowball caps off the action.
Name play aside, Nathan and Lane together works on just above every level,* from looks to performance to camera work. In fact, the scene is so good I just might shout out: Encore! Encore!
Behind-the-Scenes: Totally worth your time, if only to (1) see Nathan lift Lane upside down and (2) LaneВ's tears of cum.
*Call it 4?? actually. And if you twist my arm, five.
P.S. All puns totally intended.

If Kadi have to translate then I know it is dead. The supervisor of the project just organized and puts it together, it is the translator who does the translation. Just when I thought we are going somewhere, sadly it halted.

Why would I have to translate? True, finishing V5C2 was a bit annoying, but SS1 (not public yet for lack of editing) was promised earlier and V8C3P1 was a bonus. I enjoyed working on it because it's so awesome. V8C1 and 2 will be harsh, though... Anyway, zzhk has started again, so there's no need for me at all.
And it's wrong that supervisors don't translate. Look at larethian who I believe has the role for DenYuuDen and ItsuTen.
Well, if I ever seriously start translating, it'll either be anonymous or under a different name because, who would've thought, I don't like people bothering me. So look out for mysterious bishoujo translators popping up out of nowhere and disappearing again soon after!

I really don't mind who translate, I didn't mean any harm when I said the Supervisor don't translate normally. It is like a Supervisor of a Company who organize the grunts to do the work, but if you enjoy translating Kadi all the merrier since you already read the Japanese version I presume. zzhk is pretty fast, he manage to finish chapters in one day. Though no one can match Norm@n, oh my god he translated an entire volume in a single day. Looking forward to reading more, especially vol 5. I already know what happened in vol 4, so for those who want the brief spoiler just ask.

Just wondering, Kadi and zzhk and any translators out there. I wonder if translating these LN will help you get better at writing your own fiction since you mostly need to think of the translated line to suit English grammar and make the readers understand what it's about.
Although you might get accused of plagiarizing the line you yourself translated if it resembles the translated line you just did.

I actually have people translate Campione for me irl, almost like a bedtime story except in class. Ever since developing an interest in Chinese I practice from LNs instead of textbook readings. I started using LNs as practice just recently and its so hard that I need someone else to help me for most of the story. So I am grateful for the translators who put time into this. For some of them it might not be too much work but from my point of view it is hell lol.

As for the style, it always depends on which kind of story it is. DxD is kind of the perfect novel for Miyama-Zero to draw. The first time I saw his drawings, I thought of Hidan no Aria's (http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/im...11_003-005.jpg)
(BTW, the best LN adaptation is Kikou Shoujo. Characters are simply too cute...)
Speaking of speedy translators, I haven't seen Zephyrus for a month.

Hahaha diversity is a beauty after all. If we knew everything about other people's cultures the world would be a lot boring. Some of us here are Europeans and American and we find Japanese culture very interesting, most of it actually. The first Light Novel in Japanese history is The Tale of Genji, though the story is pretty dark. Lets not go there, it will bring some hateful feelings in here. Such as NTR and cheating. Back to the Light Novel, the last updated chapter is pretty interesting. Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven) or Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Grass Cutting Sword) whatever you prefer is a sword found in the fourth tail of Yamata-no-Orochi (Japan's version of the Hydra). Ena to use the sword has to use a Blood ritual and the writing of words with her blood.

How humankind is on the verge of transforming itself: Yuval Harari
In his new book "Homo Deus", Yuval Harari argues that humankind is on the verge of transforming itself: advances creating networked intelligences will surpass our own in speed, capability and impact. But where will this leave us? Will we be enslaved by algorithms we can scarcely understand? Or will we incorporate these advances and become like gods?

By Nedra Pickler, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON A federal appeals court on Friday largely endorsed a landmark ruling that found cigarette makers deceived the public for decades about the health hazards of smoking.
The ruling said manufacturers must change the way they market cigarettes. It bans labels such as "low tar," "light," "ultra light" or "mild," because such cigarettes have been found to be no safer than others because of how people smoke them.
It also said the companies must publish "corrective statements" on the adverse health effects and addictiveness of smoking and nicotine.
The changes have not taken affect while the case has been under appeal.
Throughout the 10 years the case has been litigated, tobacco companies have denied committing fraud in the past and said changes in how cigarettes are sold now make it impossible for them to act fraudulently in the future.
The government filed the civil case under a 1970 racketeering law commonly known as RICO used primarily to prosecute leaders of organized crime in cases in which there has been a group effort to commit fraud.
The suit was filed first in 1999 during the administration of
During the nine-month bench trial, U.S. District Judge
The defendants in the lawsuit were:
Liggett was excluded from the ruling because the judge said the company came forward in the 1990s to admit smoking causes disease and is addictive and cooperated with government investigators.
The appeals court ruled that the Counsel for Tobacco Research-U.S.A. and Tobacco Institute be dismissed from the suit. Both are trade organizations for the cigarette manufacturers but did not manufacture or sell tobacco products.
The companies had no immediate response to the appeals court decision.
