Pavlov Proven
Case in point is the Pavlov experiment which, to be fair, was first done on a dog. Every time a bell would ring the pup would get a treat. His mind came to associate the ringing of a bell with food to the point that when a bell would ring he would salivate even if he was no longer offered the food. Turns out this works rather well on humans too.
Though its much more entertaining on an episode of The Office, I have recently done this experiment with my kids. I take them to school every morning. As such I always unlock the doors (providing the audio cue) and ask them to unbuckle their seat belts once we are in the parking lot but not yet at the curbside. I have been doing this since last Fall making sure my request corresponds exactly with the sound of the locks. I even went so far as to make sure to do this whilst in the same exact spot in the parking lot everyday just to be sure all environmental factors were duplicated each time.
Well, on Monday of this week, I finally tested the sub-conscious training. I pulled into the lot, clicked the unlock button but didn't say a word. Like clockwork both kids immediately reached for their seatbelts and unfastened them. I have now done this for four days in a row with the same results. How amazingly silly we are!

Boo to Bacon!
If you haven't already noticed the LOW price sticker of the bacon pictured above and the corresponding price of $8.69, then I invite your attention to it now. Granted this particular product is for the Super Thick Cut but my wife tells me the regular cut variety was above $6 on her last grocery outing. Folks! Forget about gas prices. This is a true crises of EPIC proportions!
But speaking of gas, how is it that we are able to pay less than $4 per gallon for something that has to imported from conflict-stricken countries & go through a refining process but we are paying almost double that for a cut of meat? Bacon, you are delicious...but when you start rivaling the price of a juicy steak I must call foul and issue a boycott. I would just as soon hunt down my own wild pig and cure its meat in a homemade smokehouse in my backyard as I would pay this kind of price for someone else to do it.
Forget the price of gold people. Start investing in bacon!

Broken People = Broken Promises
Here we have a comic strip where within seconds of making a New Years Resolution to NOT judge people, our character has broken his resolve. For me it was no snacking after dinner. For you it might have been to spend more time with the family. Let's face it we have a wake of brokenness behind us. The best intentions normally motivate our initial gumption to make promises and strive for change. Its in the testing of our endurance that failure becomes possible.
Thankfully we have a Father in Heaven that doesn't suffer from this "good intentions" disease. Human goodness is truly laughable when compared to the holy scale of God's. Jesus alludes to this when someone calls Him good in Luke 18. God's goodness is pure and unmatched. It means when He makes a promise, that you can count on it. We need not worry about whether He will come through for us. It's a guarantee:
Numbers 23:19 - God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?

Enduring Love
I am a rookie compared to these two with a decade of experience behind me at this point. I am far enough along to know fairy tales that end with "happily ever after" are fiction for a reason. But its those not-so-happy moments that force you to grow, that challenge your resolve, and shape a love that is even stronger than the one that cause the pairing to begin with. And it helps of course when you marry your best friend.
In reading about this couple, what caught my attention most was a quote from their son, "The key things I remember about my parents were not the things they taught us, but the example they set for us. We just watched and marveled."
This is comforting on many levels as I think of the example Rachael and I try to set for the kids. At the end of the day we may not say or teach them everything that we should. But I truly believe they will always have our marriage to look to as an example. To make it 76 years would mean me living to be 103, so I can't make that guarantee. But I can promise it will be a long love affair with God-centered dedication to one another!

In Search of a Predator
On the heels of yesterday's post about how we as individuals and society can turn a blind eye to certain issues, I have some good news. The FBI has now listed one Eric Toth on the Most Wanted List. But it gets better. He is not only on the top ten, he is the Number One Most Wanted.
Who is Eric Toth and why give him a spot that is normally reserved for terrorists like Osama Bin Laden? Glad you asked. Eric is actually a third grade teacher from the Washington area charged with possession and manufacturing of child pornography. The FBI claims he had installed cameras in bathrooms adjacent to his classroom.
FBI Special Agent Jacqueline Maguire said:
"There is no comparison to be made between Toth and bin Laden...Although Eric Toth has not murdered anyone and his is not an international terrorist, that does not mean he isn't dangerous. We are very concerned that he may be in contact with other children, so we are asking for the public's assistance to help us capture him."
Toth (A.K.A. David Bussone) has been on the run since 2008. He has been elevated to the Ten Most Wanted due to evidence that he may still be involved with teaching children in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, and even Phoenix as late as 2009. The FBI is offering $100,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest and if prior success stats are any indicator, he will be caught. CNN reports that Toth is the 485th person to make this list and 465 of those listed have been caught with over 150 of them by a tip from the public.
I applaud this move by our law enforcement officials and pray that very soon this predator be brought to justice!

Your Blinders
Neighbors Confront Alcoholic Child-Abuser About His Lawn
Now hopefully none of us turn a blind eye to abuse. And hopefully none of us are bold enough to confront a man like that about a minor issue if we aren't willing to address the major ones. But we do as individuals and a society have our own personal blinders don't we? We willingly complain about certain issues when deeper, more important ones are ignored. We willingly point out the faults in our friends and family all the while ignoring our own. Perhaps this truth is what inspired God's word to instruct:
Matthew 7:5
5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Where do you tend to turn a blind eye? Do you see suffering and refuse to render aid? Do you see abuse and pretend its not there? Do you pass by the beaten man on the road or like the Samaritan stop and help? Do you correct yourself before correcting others? Do you confront the minor issues instead of the major ones? What part do you play in this? Where can you make some changes?
Let's identify our blinders and take them off, shall we?

Sin Identity
But for some reason the removal of these objections does not motivate repentance and the sinners prayer asking Jesus Christ into their hearts and lives. Why? I can't say for 100% of those that reject the faith but the common thread I've begun to see is something I call the Sin Identity. Our culture and the enemy of God seem to promote that we adopt labels into our identity. Some are alcoholics. Others are adulterers, gossips, liars, homosexuals, fornicators, or thieves. Whatever a person's particular sin struggle may be isn't just behavior they engage in, it IS them. It IS who they are and they believe it whole-heartedly.
Let's take the most controversial one in the list above for an example but turn it around on me. Am I a heterosexual or do I practice heterosexual behaviors? Both seem to be accurate statements yet most people that share this behavior in common with me do NOT identify themselves by the label even if it accurately describes an aspect of their life. The distinction is a small one but its important. They say the devil is in the details and I think this is fabulous example of how this statement is true. Once Satan has successfully convinced a person that their sin struggles and behaviors is who they are all then convincing them to reject God is child's play.
All one must do is read that God hates sin (of any kind) and they interpret it to mean: God hates me. Of course nothing can be further from the truth! He so loves you that he took on a human body of His own, took the burden of our sins, and paid the penalty we should have suffered for our rebellion against Him. A God that doesn't care would hardly lift a finger to render aid to those that reject Him. A God that doesn't care would not allow Himself to be beaten to the point of disfigurement, nailed to a cross, spit upon, insulted, run through with a spear, and put to death of the most shameful variety. Understanding that He could have at any point stopped the process in a Matrix-style moment is key for me. Because though he could...He didn't.
And why suffer needlessly when your own record of deeds is a perfect one and you have no actual crimes or sins to pay for? All I can figure is its the Ultimate expression of love. You. Are. Not. Your. Sins! Those are forgiven and paid for. That is why its called The GOOD News.
Don't let the enemy continue to lie to you. Your identity is so much more than a behavior you practice.

Cure For Cancer?
I've been hearing about research for a cure all of my life. I must admit that my skepticism tends to take grip as I ponder the possibility of success. Between the fact that scientists have been searching for a cure for so long and seem not to even gain victory over the common cold, my cynicism appears justified to some extent.
However, recent news just hit the interwebs yesterday that ImMucin has been developed as a Cancer vaccine and is showing very promising results in the clinical trials. Sometimes there is a misnomer that Christians, like myself, don't care about death and dying since that is when we get to our eternal and heavenly bliss. Still others think my faith causes me to avoid medicine and man-made solutions to illness and the fallen status of our world.
Nothing can be further from the truth. I believe God endows us with abilities and even leads bright minds to invent and innovate. Prayer is certainly powerful and part of my utility belt when seeking out healing for myself or my loved ones. But I also let God bless me through others that have the ability to help expedite the process. I pray this vaccine is indeed successful and helps to transform millions of lives for the good.
What do you think?

Thomas Elliot, Superstar
Within minutes he not only had a Security Guard detail escorting him from store to store but in some cases the large crowds he attracted caused stores to close. People were asking for photos, autographs, and even letting him hold their babies all the while asking "Who is this guy?"
My interest in this story goes well beyond my respect for a well-planned, well-executed prank. This is a commentary on who we are as a society. Ever craving an association with an important person, event, or movement...we flock to the nearest ones as soon as we hear about them. Perhaps we do this because we are silly sheeple. Perhaps we do this in effort to "share" in the perceived importance level and somehow their light becomes our own. Perhaps we do this because God naturally puts in us the desire for purpose & meaning.
Unfortunately the desire for purpose and meaning often sends us down rabbit trails to unfulfilled destinations. A God-shaped vacuum can only be filled with God Himself.
What do you think? What do you believe this says about about society?

Understanding The Point
I have taken the approach that I want my kids to have a blast. I want them to enjoy their cousins and the countless available activities. But somewhere along the lines, I want to take pause and talk about why we are out in the woods and what the weekend is actually about. I have pessimistically blogged about this topic in the past (click here if you dare) so this year I tried a more positive strategy by asking my twins various questions along the way. At every turn they knew this was about Jesus. They explained how He was crucified, buried, and raised on the third day. I was a proud papa already but then on Sunday morning as we took the short drive from our cabin to the main lake house, I asked them if they could tell me the Easter story.
I expected another brief recap of Jesus dying for our sins and in three days being raised again. Instead my daughter started with acquisition of the donkey and the crowd laying down palm leaves, shouting Hosanna. She then talked of the last supper and how Jesus took the bread, broke it and explained it was His body. That he took the cup of wine, explaining that it was His blood. She went on to tell us the details of the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal, and Christ's arrest. She did end with the details I originally expected but I was amazed by the in-depth and knowledgeable recap which included calling the Disciples "Jesus's Helpers".
It was all in her own words, told with a six year old understanding. But it was brilliant and the highlight of my weekend! Sure I too love the fishing, the food, the family, the campfires, and the natural surroundings. However, nothing could have made my Easter experience better than having my children "get it" and share in those moments together!

"What's up?"
And I say, "Good." as though I was asked "how I was" rather than what was going on.
Those moments are humiliating but somewhat understandable even to the confused inquirer as they process your answer. But a few weeks back as I was exiting a Chik-fil-a location I took this brain-failure issue to a whole new level.
As I was leaving a lady was about to enter. And although I made it to the door first, and propped it open with my own foot (since my hands were full of delicious treats) I decided in my infinite wisdom to say, "Thank You."
Yes folks, I thanked a lady for letting me open the door and hold it for HER! My brain needs a rest and an overhaul before someone commits me to the funny farm!
What similar faux pas have you committed lately?

Tornadic Terror
Now I am that dad, the protector...who must do for my children what my parents had always done for me. As the radar and weather reports began showing signs of concern yesterday my family was scattered throughout the metroplex. I was at work, my wife and baby at home, and my twins were at school. The old fears from childhood resurfaced as I imagined being apart from one another while the severe weather approached. My wife and I quickly formulated a plan that meant me leaving work early, getting the kids out of school, and the five of us gathering together to wait out the storms.
As I arrived at the school it seemed other parents had the same idea. There was this sense of community as we all gave one another an understanding look. The Principal was at the front door and told us all to just go straight to the classrooms to get our children but to hurry...the weather was fast approaching. The kids, like me years before, were both scared and excited. Little did I know as a child or do my children know now...so are the parents. Yes, we are grown up, more experienced, and mature. But deep down our feelings of insecurity are still there...we just have to bury them for their sake. Severe weather is just one of many factors that we have no control over and a reminder of our dependence on God's grace and provision.
One day my kids will be the protectors. And they will realize when they are, that mix of emotions is still the same. But they will keep a brave face for their little ones.

Pastor Admits Atheism
|Macbain posing with Dawkins
A quote under the story LINKED HERE says, "I am glad she saw the light. Trained to be a minister, and preaching it, yet the truth finally won out. Its a reflection of the growing class of those that don't recognize the monotheistic gods presented in various books that are filled with contradiction and scientific, as well as historic inaccuracies. Besides, a god that sounds like Saddam Hussein? No thanks."
Well this headline should neither be celebrated or shocking to any person's world view. This just goes to prove what Jesus taught all along. Its not about Religion, its about a Relationship. You cannot fake that...at least not for the long-term. Religion is man-made traditions, ceremonies, and rules that make an effort to find God. Relationship is God's bridge to us and He makes that possible through Christ's sacrifice and Resurrection.
Do you trust man's way or God's?
I feel sorry for this woman. She obviously at one point in her life knew there was more to existence than naturalism. But instead of developing a relationship with Jesus Christ, she joined a religious practice that left her feeling empty and fake.

What's Your Excuse? 2.0
We all have them. EXCUSES! Reasons why we can't accomplish something.
Reason why we can't:
- Travel
- Lose Weight
- Earn more
- Have extra time
- Vacation
- Improve our skills
- Better our situation
- Eat right
- Exercise
- And many more...
But for today's post, I present Johanna Quaas. She is an 86 year old performing gymnastics to a packed audience. There are several videos including one where she performs a floor exercise routine but the one below was perhaps the most amazing. Enjoy and STOP making excuses!

What is your shopping stereotype? Take the quizz - find out! =)
Most Helpful Guy
I got balanced and it said this:
Unlike most people, you don't really obsess over shopping. It's a chore, just like any other.
You crave a simple, stress free experience when you go shopping. Convenience is very important to you.
You tend to know what you want, and you're willing to pay to get it quickly. You probably enjoy shopping online.
You enjoy taking time to pick out what you want, but once you're ready to buy, you don't want to drag out the process.
Pretty spot on but I don't like online shopping. I like to see and touch what I buy.00|00|0
Thanks! Especially since its the same answer as everyone
Haha No problem - just picked one at random. =)
Maybe it's my lucky day

I have couple of HP NC7782 Gigabit Server Adapter teamed together. I have the speed/duplex on auto. The problem is that the speed I am getting is only 100Mbps as opposed to 1 Gbps. Is there any setting I need to change or maybe updating the driver might solve the issue?

In most team configurations your team speed is limited to the speed of your slowest link.

I would start by running the cable test utility in the driver. What system is the team installed in and what OS is it running?
Jul 7, 2010 at 3:59 UTC
Its on Windows Server 2003 and is a HP Proliant DL360. Since there are 2 ethernet connections, one of them is running on 100mbps(1) while the other is 1000mbps(2). I ran the cable test and (1) cannot run it because the speed has to be 1000mbps. I ran the cable test on (2) and it seems OK.

Thanks Tim.
So if one link is 100mbps and the other is 1000mbps, as I have, the speed will be 100mbps abd not 1000mbps, correct?
If so, do you know why or some link where I can read about it and show my manager the reason.
Thanks again.

Table 5.1 on page 73 should help.
There are many types of team, for the majority you run into the case of lowest common denominator wins. While there are team types that do support mixed speeds, but based on the fact you want a 100&1000 team I would suspect you don't want them as they tend to be very environment/requirement specific.

International Youth Day marked in Macedonia
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
British Embassy Skopje supports the National Youth Council in Macedonia on marking International Youth Day.
On 12 August in Skopje the International Youth Day was marked, among others, by a public debate devoted to the theme of this year's International Youth Day – Mental Health Matters. The goal of this year's observance is to reduce the stigma related to all those young people having problems with mental health, since youth facing such problems are often labelled, demotivating them from asking help or support.
Panelists at the debate were our ambassador Charles Garrett, Nina Cekic from the Red Cross of Macedonia, Kristijan Bundoski from the European Medical Students Association and Despina Stojanovska, psychotherapist. In his addressing remarks ambassador Garrett said:
Investment in youth is important. I particularly agree with this year's theme, that mental health matters. It matters because it is important that we work on removing the stigma that is often attached to mental health. Young people, just like grown-ups, are very tribal, very competitive in their outlook. And often this translates into leaving people behind or excluding them if they don't match up in every way to "normal" healthy people. But the more society can focus on an individual's ability not his or her disability, the more society will benefit. Why? Because by doing so, we enable an individual to develop and to contribute. And because an inclusive society, one that is supportive and draws in diverse talents and perspectives, is so much stronger than an exclusive, uniform society. Each of us has dreams and goals in life, our own strengths and weaknesses and we need to be enabled to pursue them and fulfil them.
Ambassador Garrett also reflected on the support that the British Embassy is providing to the National Youth Council through the project which brings together British and Macedonian youth organisations to share experience and help civil and political education of youth, awareness raising, building of potential and engagement of youth in democratic processes.
12 August was designated as International Youth Day in 1999 by the United Nations.

Copycat P.F. Chang's Singapore Street Noodles
Recipe by PalatablePastime
A delicious noodle dish with chicken and shrimp and the trademark curry flavor. You can get the fried shallots you need in this recipe in little jars at the Asian markets. They sell fried garlic as well.
Top Review by MI_Hiker
This was wonderful! It's been a while since I had the noodles at P.F. Chang, but they sure taste similar to what I remember. Nice and spicy! I had to make a few modifications since I was out of some items. I only used 2 chicken thighs that were already cooked from a previous meal. I diced them up and added at the cabbage step. I also didn't have shrimp but added a handful of peanuts to give it some more bulk. I used more shredded cabbage to help thin out the noodles a bit and used an extra squirt of Sriracha Hot Sauce in place of 1T of the Ketchup. I also used the white part of the scallions and sliced them thin and sauteed them with the cabbage. I omitted the cilantro as I'm not a fan and didn't end up using the limes (was too excited to eat!) I also used a handful of broccoli slaw instead of the carrot since that's what we had in the fridge. Basically this recipe can accommodate a lot of change and still retain the same basic taste due to the yummy sauce. This is seriously the best and easiest to make sauce. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks so much to Sue for sharing this recipe!!! Oh, I would make the suggestion to use 8 oz of boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the breast meat. They have a lot more flavor for a stir fry like this. Enjoy!!!!

If you can give your future boyfriend one advice. What advice would it be?
Know that I am faithful. Accept me as I am and I shall do the same for you.
@Tdieseler are you seriously going to disagree with my opinion on this? Really?
@Tdieseler Dude, you can't say that about every girl. I know for a fact Nichole would be loyal af, I know this because I've known her for ages. The only reason I haven't tried asking her out myself is because she lives on the other side of the world.
@Alexious thank you Alex, that was very sweet of you. 😊❤
One advice to my future boyfriend would be "No Homo"
Don't give up on us when we face challenging situations. Let's work together, and use it as an opportunity to prove our love is stronger than whatever life throws at us.
Be patient with me, I take time and effort to come out of my shell and to let you in on what's going on inside my head. Just don't give up too easily.
Respect me for who I am. Love will come in later on.
Don't you dare be unfaithful to me.
@Tdieseler you know i read the brackets first right? -.-

@Octavius ohh ok see that was my first guess. then i thought, what if I'm the banana and he wants to kill me? ! :O
@Octavius okay good lol.
@Octavius FRIENDSHIP TERMINATED.
@Tdieseler do you expect anything else?
Well you were assuming a bit much to say it was ever there to begin with...
Okay I'm sorry; here.
So you can pick one because I'm on a budget. Either the teddy bear or a rose. And I say "'A" rose because you're dreaming if you think I'm buying a whole bouquet...
@Octavius OoOoOoOoOoO PRESENTS! :D :D
just 1 rose? :/ ... okay fine, ill have the teddy :)
THANK YOU :D apology accepted.
Be honest with me and whenever we have an issue to resolve, let's discuss it and not run away. Communication is the key
I can be possessive so bear with me. And just know that I won't ever leave you. Ever. I love with my all so please dont be mean to me.. It will kill me. And I will probably put a lot of pressure on you because I will keep telling you what you mean to me.. So.. Just bear with me. I will probably never stop loving you.. Dont be fucking mean. Joke around. But dont be mean. :3
Let him know that I'm crazy.
Don't cheat on me and I'm a little crazy!! :P
I won't have sex until I'm married but if I'm crazy about you and I trust you a lot, I'll do other things for you. 💋
make sure you have a big dick and no how to use it. Also make sure your wealthy and white.
That's some very specific taste you got there haha
nah I already got a man, I think he's big but he's the only guy I've been with. He's not wealthy but he is white. I dont find guys of other races attractive.
Don't hate on my friends or family.
Be nice, respectful but don't be afraid to give positive criticism.
I take bets seriously so never make the bet that you can't be replaced. Because you will, faster than you think.
don't lie over small things. i don't want to lose my trust in you because it won't be the same ever again.
hmm.. i like this
Good luck buddy, you're gonna need it!
Dont be an ass.
Plain and simple 👍🏻
Love me for who I am.
marry me
... please don't hav a huge cock
Have trust and respect on me.. and i shall do the same... also DO NOT cheat on me 😂
"I'm not worth it so leave while you can"
Dear future husband/boyfriend, just do your best to love me and i'll do my best to love you. Comfort me when i'm having anxiety issues ❤ Make me want to stay alive... Because of you.. Make me want to change my mind about dying before i'm old... JUST KIDDING, BOY YOU BETTER FUCK ME HARD IN THE ASS EACH NIGHT CAUSE THIS GIRL NEEDS A DADDY
I want to pass all my time with you
keep it in your pants and not to random hot chicks you see when you're with me you're with me not them
@Tdieseler lol wow thanks for the boost buddy that makes me feel amazing i mean who doesn't want an unloyal boyfriend (extreme sarcasm)
I just want him to always be honest and upfront, and tell me if something is bothering him, so that I have the opportunity to fix it. Also, if he's busy or tired and needs some space, I'd like for him to just tell me instead of leaving me hanging.
"this is only temporary"?
"One advice to your future boyfriend?"
"I like girls"
I would "'no homo""

Mother's Day
So for Mother's Day this year, me and a few other moms are planning to go see the new movie Mom's Night Out followed by a late dinner, and leave the kids with the hubbies. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like it did in the movie (LOL).
Do you have any plans for Mother's Day?
Sounds like fun! We don't usually make plans for Mother's Day until the day before or the day of. I am sure it will be spent with my family with a nice meal.
Not really...We still don't know if my husband will be with us or out on his ship at that time lol
Sounds fun! When is mothers day? May right? This will be my first offical mothers day so I'll be spending as much of it with my baby as I can!
Mother's Day falls on May 11th this year. :)

Cultural Assumption 2
Blog 2 - War turns men into savages
In the book that I have been reading The Lord of the Flies, I have found another cultural assumption that the author William Golding has introduced into the novel. In the book there are clear examples of the boys actions and how they have changed whilst they have been on the island. The boys perform wrong actions and completely different from when the plane crash where they were young mature British boys.
The cultural assumption I have found in the novel and believe the author William Golding has accepted and has written this assumption on purpose. The assumption I have found is that war turns men into savages. The author backs up my assumption by showing on the Island the violence and the deaths caused by anger. In the book Simon, a character originally in Jacks group but hated killing so he left and changed the other group with Piggy and Ralph. Simon was accidentally killed from confusion after running through the dark into the other group where they though he was "the beast", and he was killed by spears. A young boy kills Piggy by pushing a boulder of a mountain and crushing Piggy and cracking the conch shell. They hunt wild pigs and parade around when they kills one also by throwing spears.
I believe these actions by the British boys in the book The Lord of the Flies is inappropriate and unnecessary for the boys at a young age, where the deaths of other young boys is celebrated instead of mourning for the deaths.
The time of William Golding's era was a time of war and conflict between different countries, at the time there was a Vietnam war in the country, a war between the Algerian and the French and the introduction of the South East Asia Defence Treaty. Also the air force was brought into countries around the world. This reflects the storyline in The Lord of the Flies with the battles and conflict between the groups. The boys have therefore changed from rich and posh boys into boys that kill and fight.
This is getting very interesting and I am enjoying reading more and more. I will look for another cultural assumption that William Golding accepts.

(Adds comment from Banco do Brasil, paragraph 4)
SAO PAULO, March 25 (Reuters) - Sales in Brazil of fertilizers and pesticides for next year's soy crop have stopped after the main lender for the farm sector, state-run Banco do Brasil, froze disbursement of subsidized loans, farm and industry groups said on Wednesday.
"In other years at this time, Banco do Brasil was already taking proposals and even making financing available," said Benjamin de Sousa Junior, the director of the national agricultural input's association (Andav) in the state of Goias.
Farmers are still harvesting a record 2014-15 soy crop, but they are also starting to plan for the next crop, seeking the best prices and rates for delivery.
Banco do Brasil said it was being cautious about approving credit for the next crop cycle that starts on July 1, evaluating market conditions and demand. The bank also said disbursements for the current crop were up 13 percent from a year earlier.
Farm group Aprosoja said loans from federal banks financed 19 percent of its sector's activities in 2014-15.
The government's annual "crop plan" set lending rates at 6.5 percent and next year's rates will likely rise after the new plan is announced in May. Brazil's benchmark interest rate is currently 12.75 percent.
Andav's de Sousa Junior said some lines of credit were available from Banco do Brasil, but at interest rates of 16 percent rather than at a subsidized rate.
Brazil's fertilizer blenders association said the lack of credit is just one of many causes for concern.
"Farmers are waiting for a clearer definition of the exchange rate and prices of commodities and fertilizers," said the association's president Carlos Florence.
Brazil's real has weakened some 16 percent against the dollar so far this year. A weaker currency can help spur exports that are sold in dollars but makes costs of imported fertilizers and pesticides more expensive for the next year.

This issue is a special issue which focusses on a single topic: fair use + fair dealing. The Copyright & New Media Law Newsletter covers a broad range of issues in its quarterly publication.
Snippets from issue 4, 2012 volume of The Copyright & New Media Law Newsletter:
"Fair use/dealing has its risk. The question is the amount of risk. You need to know your organization and its risk tolerance. Look at your risk tolerance on other issues. Your copyright compliance policy should fit within the realm of other organization-wide policies."
–Editorial by Lesley Ellen Harris
"Different companies and creators will have different attitudes toward remixing. Although the law on fair use applies equally to everyone, it is still important for remixers to know these attitudes, because knowing them will help remixers determine whether they want to work with a particular IP."
–How Creators Perceive Fair Use by Don McGowan
"Can you imagine the web and smart phones without images? Have you seen many print books and journals without images? Images play a role in our daily lives whether we are in an education setting, at work, or at play. We see them in PowerPoint presentations, videos and billboards-just to name a few. We create images. We use other people's images. We share images. We combine multiple images to make new images. Yet, do we stop to think about where those images come from and who owns the copyright in those images? Probably we do not. However, most of the images we use are likely protected by copyright, and it is in the user's best interest to understand how they can be legally used."
–Images and Fair Use by Donna L. Ferullo
"The more experience you have applying fair use, the more comfortable you will become with it. With that in mind, organizations who do use fair use/dealing sometimes designate the determinations to a single person or designated persons in order to ensure consistent application of the principles. I have contacted some of these persons to hear first hand how they manage fair use/dealing, and below I share their thoughts and advice."
"Emily Goodhand, Copyright and Compliance Officer at University of Reading in the United Kingdom (U.K.), also provides 'guidance and training to staff and students on how to use other people's copyright-protected materials (and obviously I cover use of materials under licenses as well. I regularly mention fair dealing as it is an important defense in U.K. copyright law and should not be overlooked. However, since the U.K. harmonized with European Union (EU) law, greater weight is given to copyright cases coming out of the Court of Justice of the European Union; in particular, in 2010 was the infamous Infopaq case which stated that eleven words of a newspaper article were enough to be a substantial part of a copyright-protected work. This has eroded what was previously fairly steady advice on fair dealing, and people are now extremely cautious.'"
–Managing Fair Use and Fair Dealing by Lesley Ellen Harris

There are many hours of each day we spent surfing the Internet, accessing our email accounts, consulting social networks, but above all, looking for information of interest to us or reading news about our country, town or city. However, many times we cannot review all information that provides a particular site or do not have time to read the latest news from our favorite web, something we like to do at another time, for example, while us transport public, we hope to train or walked down the street.
Yes, many will be able to think that today there is no problem to do this because virtually everyone has its data rate mobile and can sail from almost anywhere. However, we are able to convert any website into a document so as not having to consume our data rate, can read it from any other device that does not have that does not have WiFi connection or from our own mobile when we have no connection to Internet.
In addition, when we have a page in an editable text format, you can copy certain information, add, supplement with images, etc. That is why; we will show below a way fast and very simple to convert webpage to pdf, ePub, Word, RTF, TXT or ODT document file, and best of all, without having to install applications on our equipment.
To do this we will use an online service that allows us to make this conversion of a website to a document in the format mentioned above that most interested us.

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a week and the reason for that is because I've been busy with my move to a self-hosted blog (thenomadicbookhoarder.com)! This means that I won't be posting on this blog anymore. If you follow me on this blog, you will automatically follow me on my self-hosted blog (if all goes well at least).

Books On My Winter TBR
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the girls over at The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is books on our winter to be read list. These are the ten books I really should read or really want to read!
1. These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner: Seriously, is there anyone who DIDN'T like These Broken Stars? If you have seen the early reviews, you know that there is a lot of praise and love for this book. It releases today and I plan to read it ASAP! I'm so ready to love this book, let's hope the hype for it doesn't let me down.
2. Sever by Lauren DeStefano: I read and loved the first two books in the Chemical Garden Trilogy but I still need to read the last one. I already started Lauren DeStefano's newest trilogy, so I should read this one VERY soon!
3. Brooke by Veronica Rossi: Under the Never Sky is one of my favorite series, and one hand I want to read Into the Still Blue like RIGHT NOW, but I also don't want this series to end. Luckily, I have this novella to tide me over until ItSB's release. Can't wait to read it, because I don't think Brooke was a popular character.
4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: This book sounds so amazing and totally something I'd enjoy. Plus, there's a college setting and that's something I've been wanting to read more of (and not like the typical NA).
5. Shades of Earth by Beth Revis: I love this series and I need to know how it's all going to end! A Million Suns ended on SUCH a cliffhanger!
6. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi: Okay, Shatter Me has been on my wishlist for ages! I finally bought it a couple weeks ago, and now I can finally read it.
7. Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo: Shadow and Bone is AWESOME and now I want to read Siege and Storm so bad! I actually bought these two books together, so I have it already. Now just read it.
8. Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor: Daughter of Smoke and Bone was so good and Laini Taylor writes wonderfully. I bought Days of Blood and Starlight MONTHS ago & I need to read it soon but this book is so big, it's kind of daunting.
9. Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck: This book has been the longest on my TBR-pile of all of my books, so maybe I should finally read it? It's a little sad that I kind of lost interest in this series, but I can't leave this book unread forever, right?!
10. The Secret of Isobel Key by Jen McConnel: This book comes out December 19th and I plan to read it very soon. It's set in Scotland, which for me is my main draw. You might not know this, but I've fallen in love with Scotland after studying there for a semester, so every book that's set in Scotland goes automatically to my wishlist.
These are my picks for this week's topic, let me know what you think!
November book haul
Every first Saturday of the month is the time when I will show you all of the books I have added to my books the past month. These are all the books I added to my TBR-pile in Novemeber!
This month was the month of the Kindle books (some awesome deals I had to take advantage of) and I also went on a shopping trip to the Boekenfestijn (A Dutch book fair with cheap books) where I managed to restrain myself. I've been going every year to the Boekenfestijn for the past three years and I finally learned my lesson that I shouldn't buy ALL OF THE BOOKS just because they are cheap. I still have some books unread that I bought at the first Boekenfestijn I went to! Anyway, here is my physical book haul:
Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys: I've been meaning to read this since so long. I really love historical fiction and this book sounds really emotional and just awesome. ALso, I know nothing about this topic so I'm glad I get to read about it and learn a bit more.
Shades of Earth by Beth Revis: I LOVE Across the Universe. I finally read the sequel A Million Suns recently and that one ended on SUCH a cliffhanger. I NEED TO READ THIS. Also yay for finishing a series, because I always forget to buy the sequels unfortunately.
Books bought at the Boekenfestijn
Stay by Deb Caletti: Truth be told, I don't know what this books is about. I bought Stay mainly because I just want to read more contemporary books and I know that many people have loved Deb Caletti's books.
Shadows Cast by Stars by Catherine Knutsson: Again, I don't really know what this book is about. I just got really grabby because I saw hardcover book for SUCH a cheap price. And the cover is so pretty!
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer: Finally, a book I know what it is about, LOL! There are actually quite a few people who didn't like this, but I just had to give it a try, especially for such a cheap price.
Kindle books
World After by Susan Ee: Angelfall is an AMAZING read, so naturally I had to have World After. I'm so curious what's going to happen next!
One & Only by Viv Daniels: I've heard that this is a New Adult book without the usual cliches. Of course I'm curious because the usual New Adult books weren't what I wanted for this genre. Really excited for this one!
Brooke by Veronica Rossi: The Under the Never Sky series is one of my favorite series EVER and I loved Roar & Liv, the other novella. I'm really curious about this one, because Brooke isn't particularly one of the most popular characters. Like Roar, beloved by all: it was kind of obvious to get his own novella.
The Transcend Time saga by Michelle Madow: I bought the complete series, because Michelle Madow would donate the money earned by November purchases to the Philippines. That was the extra incentive for me to buy it, actually. I wanted to read this when it first came out, but I had never bought it.
Shatter Me and Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi: I'm so excited to read these! They were both on sale so I had to buy them!
That was all the new books I got this month! Have you read any of these?
Why I never DNF a book
Today I want to talk about DNF-ing books, something I NEVER EVER do. I'm sure there are lots of people who DNF books and don't think twice about doing so. I get that. We read because we love it and if a book is seriously that awful to read, why bother finishing it, right?! It's our hobby and hobbies should be fun. I understand if you DNF, I really do, but still I NEVER do it and don't plan to change this habit of mine.
First of all, there's always that feeling I have that I shouldn't give up because it's going to be better soon! It definitely will. Maybe some new twist will surprise me, or the plot will move forward in a good way or there'll be a new character I like. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN that will make me enjoy it, right? Foolish, I know.
Yeah in some cases it works out. But we probably all now that in most cases it doesn't get better. Nothing will make us suddenly like the book. We might dislike it even more! I know this, but I don't listen to my own reasoning.
However, I have another reason for never DNF-ing a book, which is also my main reason!
What you might not know about me is that I live in the Netherlands. Finding books in English here is quite hard, so I always order my books from either The Book Depository or Amazon. You can imagine that if bookstores not even have much books in English (let alone Young Adult ones!) libraries on the other hand even have a more limited selection.
So yeah, you can imagine how I feel every time I'm reading a book I seriously dislike enough I want to DNF. I'm raging. I'm furious. I'm disappointed in myself for believing the hype. But most importantly: I PAID MONEY FOR THIS??
In my opinion, I would not mind to DNF a book if it was a library book. I will just bring it back without finishing and no harm is done. It's not my book, I didn't invest in it. I feel like this is my own inflicted curse for loving to read books in English as a Dutchie.
So yeah, I never DNF a book because I feel I'm wasting my money. Yes, I'm cheap like that.
Now I would like to know if YOU sometimes DNF books, or are you more like me? Also, if you read library books (or ARCs), do you find that you easier DNF those books than purchased ones?
The Secret of Isobel Key Book Trailer
Today I can share with you the book trailer for The Secret of Isobel Key by Jen McConnel. The Secret of Isobel Key is part of the new digital imprint Bloomsbury Spark and will be released December 19th of this year. First I will show you the book trailer, but please do scroll down to see my reasons for wanting this book!
About the book
Lou is in the middle of a quarter-life crisis. Fresh out of college, she's unemployed and unsure of herself. But when she gets the chance to escape to Scotland with her best friend, it could be the answer to her quest for self-discovery. The trip is not at all what she expected, especially when her tour guide turns out to be the dreamy historian Brian, and together they embark on a hunt for information about Isobel Key, a woman accused of witchcraft in the seventeenth century.
They set out to learn the truth of the condemned witch, but Lou isn't prepared for the knowledge that awaits her. She must face her own demons if she has any hope of righting the wrongs of the past.
Flashing between seventeenth century Scotland and a contemporary romance, THE SECRET OF ISOBEL KEY is a mystery that will please readers of all ages.

The trailer
Why I am excited
There are actually three main reasons why I am very excited for the release of The Secret of Isobel Key.
1. It's New Adult, but it's not set in college. I have always said that I wanted to read more books set in college, but now that I'm in my last year of college I've been wanting to read about someone who is just out of college. And the main character is described as being in a quarter-life crisis. Well, I CAN RELATE.
2. It's about witches! I love books with witches! I'm still in love with the paranormal genre.
3. But the last AND MOST IMPORTANT draw for me tot this book is that the main characters go to SCOTLAND. I haven't talked about this before on the blog, but I'm seriously in love with the country. So yeah, if there is a book set in Scotland, I WILL READ IT. The book trailer features photos from Scotland made my Jen herself. I have lived and studied abroad in Edinburgh last semester, so of course I have a LOT of photos from the country. So I decided to share some of my own Scotland photos to make you feel excited for both the book AND the country!
Edinburgh Castle (Did you know this was J.K. Rowling's inspiration for creating Hogwarts?)
And that was all I'm going to share for now, I'm sure I'll be writing about Scotland again soon. Anyway, let me know what you think! And if you pre-order The Secret of Isobel Key (like I sure did) you can enter this giveaway to win some swag!

Revamping my profile again. Gosh it's been two years. So yeah. I've finished uni, is currently a NEET. Trying to find the meaning of life and so on. Christ looking at my profile again, I've just realized how much of an oversharer I was (still am, but now i dump it all to close friends).
My Penname "Hanbun no Tsuki" means The Half-Moon, ripped it off from an anime called "Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora" which means Looking up at The Half-Moon. That tragic, depressing little mini-series.

You can also find me on Tumblr - slivabel and AO3 - hanbunnotsuki.
As for AO3, it actually has less stuff compared to here (I'm too embarrassed to put up my earlier stuff, oh gosh should i just delete them) but some people prefer their layout, so yeah. I'll put new things up there too, if I ever have new things (yeah like once every two years).

Synagogue Organizing Project
Greater Boston Synagogue Organizing Project (GBSOP) - Temple Isaiah was one of four founding synagogues of GBSOP, a partnership that promoted community based organizing as a new addition and approach to synagogue social action work. Through this partnership, Temple Isaiah, Temple Beth El of Sudbury, Temple Emanuel, and Temple Israel had hired Meir Lakein in 2004-2007 as a professional organizer to guide us in learning about and applying this model. GBSOP as originally constituted ended and transitioned into a core program of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC). A team of JCRC organizers under the leadership of Meir Lakein (new director of JCRC's GBSOP) now works with over a dozen synagogues in Greater Boston. Temple Isaiah can be proud of our contribution to this endeavor.

You purchased your 356SC because its German engineering and unrivaled handling agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Auto enthusiasts appreciate the unparalleled speed built into each Porsche, and understand that only top quality replacement 356SC parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.

You can't get maximum power and fuel economy together without the best air intake and fuel delivery parts. Located inside the gas tank is your Porsche 356SC fuel sending. The fuel sending unit will have an outlet pipe on it to service the demands of the fuel pump, and should there be any excess fuel in the carburetor or accumulator a return pipe will be there to take it back to the tank. All fuel sending units have a float attached to an arm on the unit that goes up and down as the amount of fuel in the tank changes. A resistor connected to that arm modulates a signal sent to your Porsche 356SC fuel gauge showing you just how much gas is in there.

Its like everywhere, Even in ads they sponsor. One of ads shows "10 athletic girls you should love" and then one shows "7 guys you should never date" and even in those "mytakes" thing. One guy did his take on how guys should wear anything he wants and not be judges and some feminists even commented on there saying how is that gay lol Wow.
Most Helpful Girl
At one point the only suggested MyTakes I saw for more than two weeks were variations on "why I hate feminists" "why feminists are terrible" and "why you should never date or marry a feminist".
Super annoying. I don't know what is up with their suggestion algorithm. I just started looking at MyTakes from GaG and people I follow and things started changing. At lv 7 you don't have to see ads anymore. That helps too.00|00|0
Lol not for me
- Show AllShow Less
Things haven't changed for me lol They still filled with desperate white knights
It doesn't change right away. you have to look at enough things to tilt the values.

Turn photographs into dimensional embellishments to adorn a table centerpiece, place cards or wall decorations for a holiday event or a special occasion with friends and family members. Whether you want to make personalized decorations that feature cutouts of the guest of honor for a birthday party or retirement event or produce themed embellishments for a seasonal gathering using photos of inanimate objects, a simple cut-and-paste technique will help you design the accents with ease.
Things You'll Need
- Home photo printer, photo lab or color copy machine
- Photo
- Old newspapers
- Spray adhesive
- Cardboard
- Scissors or a craft knife
- Double-stick tape
Determine how large you want the cardboard photo cutout to be and use a home photo printer, a photo lab or a color copy machine to enlarge the image to the desired size. When you blow the photo up, ensure the subject reaches the proper size and not the photo itself since you'll be cutting the background away.
Cover a work surface in a well-ventilated area with old newspapers. Place the photo face down on the newspaper and spray the back with a light coat of spray adhesive. Press the photo onto a piece of cardboard large enough to completely cover the back of the photo.
Use sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut the subject out of the photo. Ensure you cut closely around the edge of the image to eliminate all traces of the background for the most visually pleasing result.
Create a stand for the picture cutout by using scissors or a craft knife to cut a piece of cardboard that's 2 inches wide and half as tall as your cutout. Fold the cardboard in half the long way and press it down to make a strong crease. Apply a piece of double-stick tape to one side of the cardboard and press it onto the back of the cutout. You can also simply prop the dimensional photos up against objects on a table or fireplace mantel.
Tips & Warnings
- If you cut the image from the photo with a craft knife, place a self-healing mat beneath the photo so you won't slice into your work surface. Buy the multi-layered protective mat at sewing, scrapbooking and craft stores.
- When choosing a photo to create a decorative cardboard cutout, select a well-lit image with a subject that has well-defined edges to make it easier to cut.
- Design personalized seat assignment cards for a casual luncheon by making a 3-inch-tall photo cutout of each guest and placing it on the plate in lieu of a handwritten place card. Invite the guests to take the embellishments home when the festivities are over as a memento of the event.
- Never make photo cutouts from original or one-of-a-kind photos, particularly if you might need them later for another craft project. Ensure you're using a duplicate photo or color copy before you cut into the image.

Rome Heist Review And Buying Advice
Rome Heist 2016 - 2014 Review by The Good RidePast Reviews
The 2016 Rome Heist really changed up the ride compared to the 15 and 14 models. It's now camber between the tip/tail with a passive rocker that doesn't touch the ground in the middle. It takes it from a very forgiving ride good for a wide variety of riders to making it a very aggressive super poppy freestyle ride for those who know what they are doing. It's not a board to skid your turns with any more.
Approximate Weight: Feels normal bordering on light.
On Snow Feel: Went from semi loose to catchy like an old camber board. For many it's almost too much camber. It's not the spinney forgiving board it use to be.
Powder: Lost all it's float going to camber and it will only ride slightly better than old school camber in powder.
Turn Initiation: Quick and snappy if you know how to turn.
Skidded Turns: Not easy to skid turns and you could easily catch an edge.
Carving: Massive improvement over the older model and it really lays it out well. If it was a little stiffer this would be top notch.
Speed: Kind of chattery on the mountain.
Uneven Terrain: Not bad as they day starts to get messy.
Edge Hold: Really strong grip that will work fine in anything from ice to slush.
Flex: Still a soft flex that's easy to butter but it just requires a more technical rider to not catch an edge.
Switch: Pretty easy either way.
Jibbing: Not a bad jibber but you have to know what you are doing now.
Pipe: Some might want a little stiffer flex but it will do really well for most in the pipe that know how to ride it.
Past Reviews
The Rome Heist is new for 2014 and a great addition for the women's freestyle rider on a budget.
Approximate Weight: Feels normal.
On Snow Feel: There is a lot of rocker going on between the feet and although there is a good bit of camber going on at the tip/tial it's still pretty loose between the feet when one footing and flat basing. Until you put the board on edge it feels similar to a continuous rocker board. It's all about a loose playful ride that loves to pop and spin.
Powder: This is great for a twin in powder and will float well for those that like it centered and ride switch a lot in powder.
Turn Initiation and Carving: Very easy and quick edge to edge. Short to medium turns are easy and fun. As you get to wider radius turns the quick rip side cut's outer side cut engages and it provides a different turning feel more like a camber dominant board. Now with such a loose playful board you wouldn't think it would carve well at all but its a lot better than you would think. As the outer part of the side cut engages it's a lot of fun and it allows the camber in the tip and tail help you get a little spring out of the turn. It's still not perfect and a little bit washy in harder conditions but it's pretty good for a freestyle twin.
Speed: Pretty chattery and not ideal for bombing a long sustained steep run but it's fine for a straight line needed for a big kicker.
Uneven Terrain: It's soft flexy ride is very forgiving when dealing with slow speed bumpy terrain. It's not a chunder buster but it moves over bumps like water over rock. It's chattery but doesn't pass the bumps up to your knees and legs.
Edge Hold: Very solid grip that really holds well in harder conditions. That extension past each binding really makes a difference and grabs really well.
Flex: Pretty medium soft but with that extra rocker between the feet makes the board feel even more buttery and playful than you would think by flexing it in a shop.
Switch: Perfect either way.
Jibbing: It's very forgiving and playful and easy for most riders to play around on rails and bonks. It's rocker between the feet keeps it from being perfect because it could be better if there was more flat between the feet to hold the but it's still easy and forgiving.
Pipe: There is enough edge hold and the board drives pretty well from wall to wall but it's a little too loose between the feet to give you that stable drive on an icy pipe wall. Still it's much better than you would think.
Jumps: What a poppy playful fun little ride for those that like to jump. It's really fun hitting small to medium kickers but also isn't bad on a bigger kicker as well. It pops well on an ollie and spins well on kickers.
All in all this a solid choice for anyone on a budget that want's a do everything park ride.

Is is possible to initialize the flow field (3d unstructured) on a cell by cell basis? I have a model I have run in another code and would like to input its solution as the initial guess for a fluent run. The model includes conjugate heat transfer and is about 2 million cells.
Re: initialization
I guess the best thing to do is to ask a fluent support engineer if this could be done. I have found them to be very helpful in answering these type of "can we do it" questions.
Re: intialization
You can certainly do that . . .
you might be able to read in the data somehow and get fluent to interpolate automatically onto the grid. This depends what format its in etc.
Alternatively write a execute on demand udf to read your data in and then interpolae it on to the grid. If the grids are the same then you don't have to do any interpolation so its very easy - just check the cell centroids and use the data you've read in and apply it within a loop over all cells. If the grids are different you might want to do a simple interpolation - or just pick the closest spacial point in your data and use it for the cell in fluent. This will be approximate of course, but since its an initial guess could be quite ok.
Look in both the fluent manuals and the udf manual for how to do these things.

Off Camera Flash With A Classic Fruit Bowl
I wanted to get some practice today with using off-camera flash and food. Lighting can make or break a scene, so it's always a good idea to get as much practice as possible with controlling light. My goals were to try and get some mood lighted images as well as fully lit images by relying on the two flash units as a primary light source. The equipment: Two Yongnuo YN460-II … Continue reading
