Since the site was down...
what has everyone been up to? I have realzed while talking with JAppi that I have no life and that the forums comprise most of my time. I worked on my website mostly, i even added a forum for tech support. I did; however, go out with my friends and played xbox, gc, ps2, pc, you name it, we played it. this seems to be the only way i was able to make it. lets get the forum moving again.

hmm well lets see.....I did several things, but nothing had really changed.
Lets see I stayed on irc like I always did and having the forums down helped me to be able to focus on other things like SP and I even tried GB, but i had no idea on the controls so I just died and sat there it was fun. Lets see I went to my first anime party with lwl and I started this winamp5party channel, but firststrike was able to get the channel and all before I could. Its intent is too watch livestream of whatevers...started out with jpop then we found a way to get into an anime livestream, but its still pretty much jpop and we bash it and some praise it and so forth they now have this kpop one, but my comp can't handle it o well. I think thats it...hmm o wait I posted like 3 times on another forum and then now the site is abck up so i will be wasting the same amount of times with multiple tasks... ;p

I also went back to MT(MegaTokyo), my old home, and posted some. I finally was able to get some work done(just like some of you) and finish some series like GreenGreen and You're Under Arrest 2. I downloaded about 9 Gb of anime and now i need to find some free time on my hands. I will be gone next week and i hope to survive without again...

Ee... for me, I've been waiting patiently to send my private message to mentar-san. During that wait, my period ended, my best friend moved in with me, I had dimsum with my mother, bought a plasma tv, had the guys set it up, and been constantly embarassed by Mentar-san and his bad influence. Warning to all of you ... he's a pervert.
Yes Mentos the Fresh Maker. The Ugu Force is here. Now how are you going to retaliate? ^_^

The forum being down didn't really bother me as I had my internet down for the last week (well not down, but not at a usable level). I played FFX-2 and chatted on MSN messenger alot with my girlfriend, spent saturday with her playing DDR2 MAX (WHOOO!) and Go.. so it really wasn't too bad, glad to see it's back though.. the site being down bothered me much more than the forum being down as I could not check to see when the new subs of naruto were out

A Missing Page From Genesis
A friend drew my attention to this cartoon from People in White Coats. I'm a bit confused, to be honest.

Parallelomania and Mythicist Flood Stories
It struck me recently that the way many mythicists view Jesus in relation to other savior figures, is akin to how young-earth creationists view flood stories from around the world. The latter consider that all of the stories are copies from and reflect knowledge of a historical ancient flood. Someone with a tiny bit of [Read More…]

Organizers of the Arctic Technology Conference (ATC) have announced Fugro as the recipient of two 2014 Spotlight on Arctic Technology Awards.
The company is being recognized for its integrated 3D iceberg mapping technique, which defines complex iceberg properties using high precision subsea imaging systems and above-water imaging techniques. The approach and technology will be integral to future ice engineering, as well as ongoing ice management and risk mitigation measures for fixed and mobile platforms in Arctic settings. The other award is for Fugro's GeoSAR sea ice mapping system which is mounted on a Gulfstream II jet aircraft. Acquiring sea ice data over very large areas, the system produces sea ice mapping deliverables enabling the mitigation of high risk ice floes from fixed locations in the Arctic.
"These awards are a great achievement and honor," said Edward Saade, Fugro's regional survey director for the Americas. "Fugro is committed to supporting safe and sustainable Arctic oil and gas operations. The technologies being highlighted by ATC reinforce that commitment, and our ability to generate positive outcomes during offshore exploration, development, and production."
The Spotlight Awards will be presented at ATC on Monday, February 10, during an evening reception at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

Anna Areola-Hernandez, 24, has been sentenced to ten years in prison and lifetime probation for seducing teenage boys by pretending to be a 15 year-old girl online.
Glendale, Arizona police arrested her last year after acting on a tip from the mother of a 13 year-old boy who accused Areola-Hernandez of seducing her son. She was arrested for sexual conduct with a minor, child molestation, unlawful age misrepresentation and adult posing as a minor for a sexual conduct act. Initially, Areola-Hernandez denied any wrongdoing, but she eventually admitted that they had sex.
Prosecutors claim Areola-Hernandez used social media sites like Facebook and texting apps including Kik, Snapchat and Tango to lure in many underage boys for sex. One teenage boy contracted chlamydia from Areola-Hernandez, who called herself "Tiny Hernandez" and "Ana Hernandez" online.
During her sentencing on Wednesday, a victim's mother launched into an emotional rant as she confronted her for manipulating, stalking, and molesting her son.
"She should not be let out, ever," the mother told the court, according to Daily Mail. She added that Areola-Hernandez often plied the boys with drugs and alcohol.
After hearing the tirade, Areola-Hernandez broke down. The mother, however, didn't stop there and had to be forcibly removed from the courtroom as she shouted expletives.
"You're a child molester, Anna," the woman screamed at the defendant. "F**** you too."
Areola-Hernandez's legal team argued that she has a low IQ and a history of trauma. They also said she suffered from an untreated mental illness, and that a decade of prison time would only prevent her from getting the help she needs.
At sentencing, Areola-Hernandez's lawyer read a letter from her in which she apologized to the court and her family, and promised to get counseling while in jail.
Areola-Hernandez expressed no remorse to police, however, and admitted to liking younger boys rather than men. She could not explain why. After her prison term is up, she will have to register as a sex offender for life.

What is the difference between Perform Quality Control and Verify Scope?
Let's look at the 2 processes closely.
- Perform Quality Control is about ensuring that the deliverables meet the quality requirements defined in the Quality Management plan. Verify Scope is about formalizing the acceptance of deliverables.
- Perform Quality Control belongs to Project Quality Management knowledge area, whereas Verify Scope is under Project Scope Management.
- Perform Quality Control is focused on correctness of the deliverables whereas Verify Scope is focused on acceptance of deliverables.
- Perform Quality Control is usually done by the Quality Control department, whereas Verify Scope is done by customer or sponsor. In Verify Scope process, the project manager holds several meetings with the customer or sponsor to review the deliverables to ensure that the deliverables are completed satisfactorily.
- Perform Quality Control is usually done before Verify Scope, but these processes can be performed in parallel.
- Validated deliverables, which are an output of Perform Quality Control, are an input to Verify Scope. The output of Verify Scope are Accepted Deliverables.
- Both Perform Quality Control and Verify Scope are done as part of Monitor and Control process group, but Verify Scope can also be done at the end of each project phase to validate the deliverables of each phase.
- Both Perform Quality Control and Verify Scope processes can result in change requests.
Examples of Perform Quality Control and Verify ScopeTake the example of IT Systems project. Code (or peer) review, Unit Test, System Test, Functional Test, Regression Test fall under Perform Quality Control. User Acceptance Test falls under Verify Scope.
Let's take another example to drive home the point. Suppose you want to get your house renovated. You hire a contractor for the job, provide all the requirements and sign the contract. Now as the contractor is doing the job, it is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that the work or deliverables are meeting the quality standards established for the project. The contractor ensures that the floors are leveled, the paint is uniform, the electrical switches work, the locks work etc. This is an example of Perform Quality Control.
As different sections of the house (such as the living room, bedrooms and kitchen) are getting complete, the contractor invites you to inspect the work and make sure it meets your requirements. This is an example of Verify Scope.
Let's say when you inspect the first bedroom, you find that the paint finish on the wall is glossy, but you had requested matte finish. You discuss it with the contractor and the contractor agrees to fix it according to your requirements (change request). Now imagine what would have happened if you had waited until the whole house had been renovated, before making the inspection. It would have been a huge deal to repaint the entire house.
Think of Verify Scope as checkpoints during the course of the project to ensure that the project is on-track from the customer's point of view. If you wait until the final acceptance of the project in the "Close Project" process, it might be too late to make any changes. The Verify Scope process reduces the project risk.
I hope you can appreciate the difference between Perform Quality Control and Verify Scope better and see how they fit into Project Management.

VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday confirmed their support for an East Street preschool playground, an action taken despite a Town Meeting Day vote against the project.
All five aldermen at the meeting said the 303-202 tally on March 3 on the $42,000 project was not representative because the petitioned language on the article failed to make clear that residents would not pay to build the playground.

ADDISON COUNTY — The new Public Service Board investigation into cost hikes related to the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project will begin this month and may not conclude until late May at the earliest, according to a schedule proposed by the board March 2.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School board on Monday took steps toward an April 14 budget revote and picked a new chairperson. But, despite debate among its members and the 20 attendees, board members did not settle on a new spending plan.
In a paper ballot of the board members, Addison representative to the VUHS board Laurie Childers unseated sitting chairman Kurt Haigis, one of two VUHS directors from Ferrisburgh, as the board's new leader.
BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School board took its first crack at developing a new budget proposal for the Bristol school Tuesday evening after voters in the five-town area rejected the initial draft on Town Meeting Day.
While board members did not decide whether to create a budget that is more or less expensive than the original spending plan, they did decide to solicit input from voters and staff to help make up their minds.
BRISTOL — Three-dozen parents, teachers and community members packed the Bristol Elementary School library Monday evening to give their input to the school board on how it should draft a new budget proposal.
But board members did not discuss spending numbers that could appear in that proposal or set a date for citizens to vote on it.
Voters on Town Meeting Day rejected the original spending plan, which totaled $4.93 million, by a tally of 377 to 267.
VERGENNES — In addition to deciding to move ahead with a city park for preschoolers, Vergennes aldermen at their meeting Tuesday evening also:
•Elected Renny Perry as senior alderman. Perry will stand in as mayor if needed at meetings when Mayor Bill Benton is absent. Randy Ouellette held the post in recent years, but chose not to run for another term.
MIDDLEBURY — WomenSafe announces that Susan "Chuchi" Veguez is the recipient of the 2015 Kimberly Krans Women Who Change the World Award. A reception will be held Wednesday, March 25, from 5-6:30 p.m. at 109 Catamount Park in Middlebury to honor and celebrate Veguez's dedication to the community. Refreshments will be provided.
Some people do crazy things in midlife. They get divorced from a person they love, or they change careers or move across the country for no apparent reason.
But almost no one can say their midlife crisis involved creating a professional basketball team. A team that brightened the days of a rabid coterie of cowbell-clanging fans amid the winter gloom — and gave Vermont its first professional sports championships.
But Alex Wolff can say he did that.
Along with his wife, Vanessa, Wolff founded and ran the aptly named Vermont Frost Heaves.

I'm not sure how it went yet. Pain has been minimal; it hurts when rolling over and when changing from seated to standing. I haven't yet had a BM. I'm very swollen.

I KNOW you aren't supposed to judge results before 6 months or more, but, my vertical incision is awful. I can see the area where my navel was, and the actual akin that used to surround my navel. Furthermore, I think my horizontal incision line may be becoming infected?

If you like the ChromeOS, this is a great choice.
T here's a party going on and its name is Chromebook. Acer's newest entry comes via the Chromebook 13 – a 13-inch portable that ticks a lot of boxes and won't leave standing on the wall, idly by, at the Chromebook party.
The Chromebook 13's body felt solid. Weighing in at 1.5kg, it's well made with a solid feel. The plastic body is textured on the base so it's not slippery if you're carrying it without a case. The chiclet keyboard is comfortable to use and the large trackpad was accurate and responsive.
Running Nvidia's Tegra K1 processor and 4GB of DDR3L memory, our first impression was that the Acer's entry into the Chromebook market is very solid. Performance was excellent. We watched full screen streaming video in high definition on the 1920 by 1080 with no lag.
Other tasks such as working with files stored in our Google Drive were painless. The wireless connection was delivered with 802.11ac, which we're pleased to see included in the features.
Local storage is limited to the in-built 32GB SSD although connecting external storage devices via the two USB 3.0 ports was a snap. One port is on the left side of the device with the second at the back, adjacent to the HDMI port so you can hook the Chromebook 13 up to a TV, projector or to an external display, if you like.
On the right side of the body, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack that sits next to the power input. The design of the power connector was a concern. The plug is very thin and there were times when we lifted and moved the Chromebook 13 only to find the L-shaped connector had turned slightly. As a result, when we put the computer down, we felt that we were going to either snap the connector or damage the socket.
Battery life was great. We were able to watch a full length feature movie with the sound piped through to a set of Bluetooth headphones with enough juice left in the 3220 mAh battery for a couple of hours of work and web browsing.
In a market that is getting more and more cluttered by the day, Acer's Chromebook 13 is a solid device with great performance that will suit the needs of most mobile users, provided the Chrome OS is to their liking or meets their needs.

FirstEnergyDividend Yield: 4.80% FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.80%. FirstEnergy Corp., a diversified energy holding company, engages in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity in the United States. The company operates in Regulated Distribution, Regulated Transmission, and Competitive Energy Services segments. The company has a P/E ratio of 25.15. The average volume for FirstEnergy has been 3,267,100 shares per day over the past 30 days. FirstEnergy has a market cap of $19.4 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 10.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates FirstEnergy as a buy. Among the primary strengths of the company is its generally strong cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $1,044.00 million or 25.17% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 5.75%.
- FIRSTENERGY CORP has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, FIRSTENERGY CORP reported lower earnings of $1.84 versus $2.13 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.00 versus $1.84).
- FE, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 14.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 10.7%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for FIRSTENERGY CORP is currently extremely low, coming in at 12.40%. Regardless of FE's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -4.23% trails the industry average.
- In its most recent trading session, FE has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Despite the decline in its share price over the last year, this stock is still more expensive (when compared to its current earnings) than most other companies in its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays compensate for this.

Barclays has launched Pingit, an SMS service that lets you send and receive funds for free to anyone with a UK current account and UK mobile.
The app connects each user's bank account with their phone number, and allows money transfer between two phone numbers without needing to share bank details.
To send money, you'll have to use the app, available to Android, BlackBerry and iOS, but recipients simply need to register online to receive money on their mobile, no matter what it is.
According to Barclays, the transfer is as safe as any other banking transaction, with the app protected by a five-digit password chosen by its user.
Barclays Retail and Business Banking chief executive Antony Jenkins said: 'For friends splitting the cost of dinner, repaying a borrowed £10 or people sending money to a son or daughter at university, you can send and receive money in seconds, without having to enter account details."
Barclays Pingit is available now, free from the Apple App Store, BlackBerry App World and the Android Market. At launch, only Barclays current accounts will be eligible, but by early March, an update to the app will let non-Barclays customers register too.

Must admit, I'm curious about the military experience bit. Is the company selling products to military users (or supporting them), or do they just like hiring ex-military? Is there an internal semi-military office culture?

SIR, YES SIR... sorry could resist.
Dec 1, 2011 at 11:18 UTC
We do not sell or support to military users, nor is there an semi-military office culture. Rather the management just prefers to support veterans when possible. Myself being a veteran and we have also hired another have both been very successful hires for the company and they recognize that the skill set a prior military person can be quite advantageous. We certainly hire non-military personnel but that can be icing on he cake when doing the selection process.

I would be interested in the position I will be sending my resume shortly. Thanks

Hey everyone! Did any of you read my review for Legends of Red Sonja? If not, pop over to it for a minute if you like, but if not, welcome to my review for Gail Simone's next story for the She-Devil with a Sword, entitled Queen of the Plagues!
While writing my profile on Miss Simone (link below and to the side), I asked her about her start on Sonja, to which she replied,
"Nick Barrucci, publisher of Dynamite Comics, had been asking me for years to write a book for them, but I was always exclusive with DC. When my exclusive ended and we had been butting heads at DC for a bit (water under the bridge), I had no idea if I was actually going to be asked to do work elsewhere, no idea at all.
Nick was THE first person to call. He knew I loved pulp characters, he said I could have any character I wanted to write. I asked him to give me a list. The first name on the list was Red Sonja, and I said, 'Okay, stop right there.'
We never got to the rest of the list. I love sword and sorcery stories, I love badass women, and more importantly, my mother for some reason ADORES Red Sonja. She was calling me and texting me, 'Are you going to take Red Sonja? You're going to take Red Sonja, right?'
I agreed to do six issues but loved it so much that I ended up doing a lot more. One of my favorite assignments ever."
Can't say much more than that, so let me tell you why this book is so awesome!
Review: Red Sonja Volume 1 Queen of the Plagues
by GregFahlgren
Review of the first collected edition for Gail Simone's critically acclaimed Red Sonja run.
Hey everyone! Did any of you read my review for Legends of Red Sonja? If not, pop over to it for a minute if you like, but if not, welcome to my review for Gail Simone's next story for the She-Devil with a Sword, entitled Queen of the Plagues!
The Creators
First off, let's get the credits out of the way:
Writer: Gail Simone
Illustrator: Walter Geovani
Colourer: Adriano Lucas
Letterer Simon Bowland
Cover Art: Jenny Frison.
Okay, credits given, let's get to the story!!!
The Story
A Legend Retold
As is the case most times when a book gets a new writer, Gail Simone decided to delve into the history of our loveable drunk warrior woman, as well as give us a new adventure to sink our teeth into.
The book's main story centres around Sonja attempting to save a city from an army intending to destroy it to contain a mysterious plague. Aided by her two able bodyguards Ayla and Nias, she trains what little of King Dimath's people that are still alive in the art of combat in the hopes that they could defend their lands from what is coming. Once that army arrives, Sonja is faced with the one woman that could have ever matched her in battle: Dark Anissia, her sister from the slave pits! What follows is a deeply personal journey for Sonja as she combats illness, her past, countless enemies out for her blood, and her need for wine when the taverns are closed down.
This tale is beautifully crafted, using the events of the present to bring us back to the beginning of Sonja's life, detailing the night her parents were killed and she became Red Sonja. From there, we also get to see Sonja and Anissia in the Zamoran slave pits, giving us another window into the She-Devil's past, and the reason why Sonja had agreed to help King Dimath in the present. Sonja was showed more vulnerable than ever before, but also with more heart, caring, and courage than anyone you'll ever encounter. Gail "gets" Sonja, understands why she is the way she is, and why she fights as she does. Yes, she likes her drinking and vulgarity, and perhaps is not the most ladylike of women, but she has a kind heart and noble spirit that refuses to give up no matter how bleak things are.
Along with our red-headed ass-kicker is a wonderful cast of supporting characters. Her proteges Ayla and Nias are funny, courageous, and altogether loveable as they try to help their 'radiant mistress' during her struggles. By the end of the work, they have become accomplished warriors in their own right, making even Red Sonja love them despite her being a little annoyed by their antics at times.
On the flip side, Dark Anissia is not your typical villain. Sonja's slave pit sister is a complicated, tragic, and sympathetic villain. While Sonja had retained her humanity after she and Anissia were freed from the pit, Anissia became haunted by the people she had killed, becoming a dark reflection of Sonja no matter how noble her intentions. The driving force behind the tale is the inevitable confrontation between the two warrior women, and the final reveal of what brought them here in the first place in the story's amazing finale.
In short, Queen of the Plagues is a wonderful story, and some of Gail SImone's best work. And if you know how good Gail is, that is say something.
Gorgeous Would Be One Word...
As mentioned above, the art for this work was illustrated by the incredibly talented Walter Geovani. Simply put, the art in this collection is absolutely fantastic! The characters, the scenery, EVERYTHING was sublime beyond description, putting me deep into the fantasy world with incredible clarity. The characters were depicted to match Gail Simone's script near to perfection, every expression, action, and in action we see them performing fitting the scene and dialogue exactly.
Adriano Lucas's colours were the cherry on top, bringing Geovani's pencils to life in unbelievable ways, the combination some of the most striking I've seen in the medium. Every scene is laid out and depicted perfectly, keeping the reader moving forward in the story at a steady pace, while avoiding getting confused during the more complicated battle sequences. In addition to that, the covers by Jenny Frison were out of this world incredible, each one more gorgeous than the last. I would love to see more of her work in the future, and dare I say I'd even by a print of hers for these books if possible.
I'm still new at reviewing art, but Queen of the Plagues has some of the best I've seen in comics period, and that is just another reason why this book she be a must read for comic book fans (or everyone for that matter) everywhere.
A Great Start
Simply put, this collection is awesome!!! Simone and Geovani craft a great story here, easily making it one of the best collections I've read this year. It's funny, heart-wrenching, exciting, and disgusting (good kind) in a way that makes it a unique find among comic books today. Simone is at her best here, and with some wonderful art to go along, it makes this an easy recommend.
That said, I'll see you all next time. Until then as always, HAPPY READING!!!

American officials are saying little about what role -- if any -- the United States and NATO played in Moammar Gadhafi's death.
"I simply don't have any information for you on what are a number of very conflicting reports about Gadhafi's death," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "And so I'm not going to answer hypotheticals ... I think we need to wait and see."
There are reports that a U.S. predator drone and a French fighter jet may have been involved in the attack that killed Gadhafi; NATO has employed such assets over the past seven months in its operations to assist the Libyan rebels.
French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet said today that a French Mirage-2000 fired a warning shot to stop a convoy of vehicles carrying Gadhafi, reports the AFP news agency.
The convoy "was stopped from progressing as it sought to flee Sirte but was not destroyed by the French intervention," Longuet told reporters, adding that Libyan forces destroyed the vehicles after removing Gadhafi from one of them.
NATO had said earlier that one of its aircraft struck military vehicles belonging to Gadhafi forces near Sirte, but is not sure whether the former dictator was part of that convoy.
"These armed vehicles were conducting military operations and presented a clear threat to civilians," said NATO spokesman Col. Roland Lavoie.
At the White House, Carney said: "I think it's worth noting that there have been a lot of reports, as often is the case in these situations, some of them contradictory."
One thing seems certain: NATO appears ready to end its Libyan operation, perhaps as early as Friday.
"It's clear that the NATO mission is coming to an end," Carney said. "I'll leave it to NATO to formally declare that."

They're coming soon, NBA fans, sooner than you think.
With March Madness just days away, the debate will kick into overdrive about the best in the NCAA and where they might be headed come June 23 at the Barclays in Brooklyn on June 23.
The top teams in the NBA, naturally, aren't burdening themselves with thoughts of blue-chippers (though their scouts are working hard). The bottom tier, however, will crunch the numbers incessantly, in hopes of filling a gaping hole in the future.
Last year's top 4 are already paying dividends, to varying degrees, so that hope isn't without merit. No. 1 Karl-Anthony Towns of Minnesota is leading all freshman in scoring with 17.7 points, while no. 3 Jahlil Okafor (76ers) is right behind at 17.5 PPG. Dynamic no. 4 pick Kristaps Porzingis is lighting it up for the Knicks at 13.9 and no. 2 pick D'Angelo Russell (Lakers) is fifth with 13.3.
Depending on who you listen to, the top 10 shifts subtley between a slew of players.
Here are 12 (two ties) NCAA hot shots who may go top 10 and their prospective landing sites (remember these can and will change), so the players and not the destinations are the most important thing.
Ellenson and Labissiere are both freshmen, both 6'11' power forwards and both will garner plenty of attention on draft day. Currently, the Bulls employ Taj Gibson (8.2 PPG), Doug McDermott (9.1 PPG) and Nikola Mirotic (10.6) among a few other swing men (i.e. Pau Gasol) in the forward role. The need, then, in Chicago is for dynamic players like either Labissiere or Ellenson to eventually occupy the power forward slot. Marquette's Ellenson has good ball handling skills, knocks down big shots and distributes the ball very well. Labissiere is a better defender and could slot in as either a PF or center.

The Tempest Peninsulas are to be found in the far north-west of Khul.
Past the Mithrir Forest the continent of Khul continues for a number of leagues to the north-west into the Tempest Peninsulas. These lands are nominally under the dominion of Anghelm, and they are fertile and verdant. But they are bombarded heavily by the storms that scream in from the Ocean of Tempests for much of the year, hence their name. However, the inhabitants of this area have grown used to the elements and make provision for them, making this peninsular one of the more bearable regions of Khul in which to live.

Skip to comments.More Obamacare stupidity: Developers of website linked to Belarus government
Posted on 02/04/2014 9:16:53 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Developers linked to the government of Belarus may have placed malicious code inside the healthcare.gov website allowing it to hack into the personal information of consumers.
No - I'm serious.
U.S. intelligence agencies last week urged the Obama administration to check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning that developers linked to the Belarus government helped produce the website, raising fresh concerns that private data posted by millions of Americans will be compromised.
The intelligence agencies notified the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency in charge of the Healthcare.gov network, about their concerns last week. Specifically, officials warned that programmers in Belarus, a former Soviet republic closely allied with Russia, were suspected of inserting malicious code that could be used for cyber attacks, according to U.S. officials familiar with the concerns.
The software links the millions of Americans who signed up for Obamacare to the federal government and more than 300 medical institutions and healthcare providers.
"The U.S. Affordable Care Act software was written in part in Belarus by software developers under state control, and that makes the software a potential target for cyber attacks," one official said.
Cyber security officials said the potential threat to the U.S. healthcare data is compounded by what they said was an Internet data "hijacking" last year involving Belarusian state-controlled networks. The month-long diversion covertly rerouted massive amounts of U.S. Internet traffic to Belarus-a repressive dictatorship located between Russia, Poland, and Ukraine.
"Belarusian President [Alexander] Lukashenko's authoritarian regime is closely allied with Russia and is adversarial toward the United States," the official added.
The combination of the Belarus-origin software, the Internet re-routing, and the anti-U.S. posture of the Belarusian government "makes the software written in Belarus a potential target of cyber attacks for identity theft

Rip it out by the roots.
How did this happen? Normally, we'd pay good money to keep hostile regimes from penetrating our government operations. In this case, it looks as though we paid them to do it. Great job, HHS!
Hey, where's FR's regular "Bring Back American Jobs" dude when we need him ?? :)
Belarus? Oy vey iz mir! One of the most inept countries on earth! I think Namibia could have done a better job!
WikiLeaks cables describe Belarus leader as 'bizarre' and 'disturbed'
The Guardian, Friday 17 December 2010 16.30 EST
Alexander Lukashenko, the autocratic ruler of Belarus who is poised for re-election for a fourth term this weekend, is an increasingly "bizarre" and "disturbed" ruler who plans to stay in power indefinitely, according to US diplomats in Minsk.
Lukashenko, often referred to as Europe's last dictator because of the heavy-handed nature of his 16 years in power, is certain to win Belarus's presidential election this Sunday, cementing his grip on the ex-Soviet country and provoking criticism from the west, which has tried without much success to nudge the country in a more democratic direction.
A liberal and his money are soon parted.

Just when you think it can't get worse ..... it does. Not over yet ... they haven't found the room where the hamster (or maybe it's a gerbil) is running on the wheel, trying to keep the website "operating" ... probably in Belarus somewhere.
How appropriate that Obama hired old Soviet Socialist to write Obamacare software!

text: Home Gallery Video Acura What He Said David Lee Roth's Squeals Highlight the Curves of the Acura NSX in Brand's Super Bowl Ad Classic Van Halen Song 'Runnin' With the Devil' Backs Big Game Spot By E.J. Schultz. Published on Jan 29, 2016 Editor's Pick Acura's NSX supercar stars in the brand's 30-second Super Bowl ad, with a serious soundtrack to match. David Lee Roth's squeals from the classic Van Halen song "Runnin' with the Devil" accompany shots dramatizing the car's sleek lines and curves, as well as the production process involved in making the NSX. Extreme close-ups portray melting aluminum, sparks flying and the engine revving. The ad is running in the first quarter and was created by Mullen Lowe, Los Angeles. The product-first approach runs counter to typical Super Bowl ad formulas of using celebrities, talking animals, one-liners, or tear-jerking scenes. "This is one of those products that you just want to let it speak for itself and you don't want to get in the way of that message," said Leila Cesario, Acura's manager-national advertising. With a starting price tag of $156,000, the Acura NSX supercar might be the most expensive product appearing in a Super Bowl ad this year. Acura estimates annual demand for the made-to-order car at just 800 vehicles annually. So why spend the estimated $5 million it costs to run a 30-second Super Bowl ad on a niche product that the majority of people watching the game probably cannot afford? According to Acura, the goal is to use the flashy car to highlight the Acura brand's new "precision crafted performance" marketing theme and also win some love for lower-priced models. "This car is a representation of precision crafted performance and we are looking for the halo effect on all of our models," Ms. Cesario said. Acura used a different tactic when it last appeared in the game in 2012. That ad featured Jerry Seinfeld battling noted gearhead Jay Leno for the first NSX off the production line. This year's ad uses red, white and blue colors in a subtle move to call out the vehicle's U.S. roots. Acura, which is owned by Honda, says the NSX is "the only supercar designed, developed and manufactured in the U.S." Global production will begin this spring at a manufacturing center in Marysville, Ohio. Consumers can begin ordering the car on Feb. 25, the ad points out. The ad represents the first time Van Halen has allowed "Runnin' with the Devil" to be used in an ad, according to Acura. The Van Halen brothers are apparently fans of the NSX. Read more about the campaign over at AdAge.com. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

I picked up an iPhone Macro on the weekend. The latest product offering from Apple definitely has some serious cool factor going for it but I find it a bit impractical at times.
For example, it much easier to run on the treadmill with my iPod Touch which can easily fit onto an armband. The iPhone Macro, on the other hand is a bit more cumbersome. The good thing is that this will actually make the workout a bit harder.
Also, it's phone functions are best used on speakerphone because holding up the phone to my head is a bit of a balancing act, but necessary if you want to keep your calls private.
It's actually called the iPad…
This was a total impulse buy. It was a beautiful day on Saturday and I felt like a mini road trip, so I hopped across the border and went to the Apple store in the Walden Galleria in Buffalo, New York. They were sold out of 16GB models before I got there, but the 32GB and 64GB models were still available. (I wonder if they only carried, like, two of the 16GB in stock per store so that everyone would ante up for the higher priced models?). The price was $599USD (vs $499USD for the 16GB model). After tax it was pretty close to $650USD even. Then you also had to pay GST/PST when crossing back into Canada, which was another $85 CAD. (Yes, I had to pay GST/HST on the base price PLUS the New York State tax – a tax on tax! Boo to that. Make sure to check with vendors across the border if they will refund the tax at time of purchase – some do and some don't.)
Assuming parity, we'll call it a grand total of $735 CAD. If we assume that the Canadian prices are the same at launch as the US prices, a Canadian bought 32GB iPad would be $599CAD + GST/PST of 13% for a total of $676.87.
Canadian Pricing…?
If the rumours are true that the prices will be $50 higher across the board, then we are looking at $733.37 after tax for that same model in Canada. Almost even to the $735 CAD I paid. But of course, there is the matter of the $40 in gas and $3.00 in tolls across the Fort Erie bridge to add in. So to be fair, I traded about $45 for being able to have the iPad (oh yeah, that's the real name!) a few weeks early. Was it worth it? Hell yeah. This thing is pretty awesome. I prefer surfing the web on the iPad then on my desktop or laptop. Perhaps tomorrow I will give a bit of a review…
Once it is launched in Canada, I'll be giving one away on the blog… so stay tuned!
I don't get it – is it a book or a computer? ;)
Good story.
Thanks for sharing.
Can we pre-register for the giveaway? ;)
Does that mean we will see an iPhone Mini? Maybe they will call that the iTampon? :O
Well, I guess this is one of the answers to the question that your blog title poses. I'm as much a tech junkie as the next geek, but already having a MacBook, it's hard to justify purchasing an iPad…yes, I agree, less than optimal name choice.
Love the action photos. $735 = iPad. Photos? Priceless. Still waiting for the proverbial "killer app" before taking a serious look. Keep hearing about new and creative uses. Coolness factor -off the charts. Give away? I'm there.
Oh man, it's bigger than the original cell phones. Bad move Apple, no one is going to be able to handle such a huge phone. They'll have to introduce a helmet/holder to hold it in place at all times like a bluetooth device. That would look pretty cool, but the impaired peripheral vision is a pitfall.

This 16-day tour in West Bengal, Sikkim and Assam offers some outstanding experiences which will live long in your memory. The tour begins in India's second largest city - Calcutta, which despite its reputation for squalor and poverty is actually the most diverse and cultured of India's mega cities. The Sunderbans region will be a chance to take in a tiger safari or some bird watching. From the lush tea-clad hills around Darjeeling to the mighty rivers, valleys and mountains of the eastern Himalaya and through into mysterious Assam and Kaziranga National Park (famous for its rhinoceros population), the scenery alone is worth the trip. But add to this the people and the culture of the region, who have traditions and religious practices quite unlike those in other parts of India, and you have the recipe for a truly magical journey.
Day 1: Arrive Calcutta. Arrive in international flight, where you will be met on arrival and transferred to your hotel in the city. Afternoon to explore the main sights of 'old' Calcutta, which are predominately located around Sudder Street, in particular the Victoria Memorial, museums, Park Street cemetery and the bustling Newmarket area. Overnight in Calcutta.
Day 2: Calcutta. Main sightseeing day in Calcutta visiting the many and varied highlights of India's most diverse and cultured city. Slowly freeing itself from the effects of years of negative press, Calcutta is finally gaining recognition for its architecture, culture and the more positive aspects of its history. Overnight Calcutta.
Day 3: Calcutta - Sunderbans. After breakfast, drive 2-3 hours to Sunderbans region. From here you can take a boat trip into the mangrove forests although it's a very difficult place to see tigers. Overnight Sunderbans.
Day 4: Sunderbans – Calcutta Full day at the Lodge with a visit to Project Tiger, boat safari and bird watching etc and then return to Calcutta in the late afternoon. Overnight in Calcutta
Day 5: Calcutta- BagdograDarjeeling Transfer to Calcutta airport for a morning flight to Bagdogra. After lunch at a nearby hotel, depart Bagdogra and drive 3-4 hours to Darjeeling. Overnight in Darjeeling
Day 6: Darjeeling.Full day around Darjeeling- sightseeing tour of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, the zoological gardens (sadly the only place you are remotely likely to see a snow leopard), and visit a tea estate. In the afternoon, while away some time wandering the streets and sipping tea at one of the many tea shops. Overnight at the Elgin.
Day 7: Darjeeling - Rumtek. Arise early (around 5am depending on the time of year) for sunrise viewing from Tiger Hill. Return to the hotel and after breakfast, proceed to Rumtek in Sikkim.Overnight Rumtek.
Day 8: Rumtek - Gangtok.Day of sightseeing around Rumtek visiting the monasteries in the valley, followed by afternoon in Gangtok. Return to Rumtek, overnight Rumtek.
Day 9: Tsongo Lake Excursion. Day excursion to Tsongo Lake - this is the closest foreigners are allowed to the Tibetan border. The drive is spectacular through dizzying mountain scenery. Once you reach the lake at a height of nearly 4000 metres, you can ride a yak around the lake's edge and soak up the clear, crisp mountain air and the serenity of the setting.Return to Rumtek.
Day 10: Rumtek - Kalimpong. Drive to Kalimpong and relax, the perfect place to relax and do very little for a while. Overnight Kamilpong.
Day 11: Kalimpong. Day in and around Kalimpong, known for its horticulture and spectacular views, as well as sightseeing and visits to Dr Grahams Childrens' Home, operational since 1910, and a small factory making paper by traditional methods. Overnight Kalimpong.
Day 12: Kalimpong - Bagdogra - Guwahati - Kaziranga. Drive to Bagdograand lunchtime flight to Guwahati, and proceed to Kaziranga National Park (5 hour drive).

Day 15: Kaziranga- Guwahati- Calcutta. After a final morning safari, return drive to Guwahati and fly to Calcutta. You will be met on arrival and transferred into the city. Overnight Calcutta.
Day 16: Departure from Calcutta by international flight
