Today's youngsters could be trapped into a "work to live" cycle into their twilight years
Today's children could become what Aviva has dubbed "the forever generation". They are the generation who will be retiring later, paying their mortgage for longer and having children live with them well into their twilight years
Lifestyle changes mean that people are now taking up to seven years longer to reach various milestones - leaving home, marrying, buying a house and starting a family - than they did 30 years ago. Aviva is therefore warning that people need to start planning for their retirement sooner rather than later.
Forever mortgages - The average first-time buyer is 34 years old. If current trends continue, by 2039 the average first-time buyer would be 41 years old. With an increasing number of providers currently offering 40 year mortgages(1), paying off a mortgage at 80 years of age could become a common phenomenon.
Later retirement - The average age of retirement is steadily creeping upwards. Although average retirement is just over 64 years for men and nearly 62 years for women(2), changes in state pension allowance will mean that by 2046 state pension age will rise to 68 for both men and women, forcing people to work for longer before they are able to draw a state pension.
Offspring staying at home - With the average age of a first-time buyer increasing, there is a steady increase in the number of offspring choosing to live at home later in life. More than a quarter (29%) of young men (aged 20-34) are living with their parents, a figure that has grown by 300,000 people since 2001(3).
Darren Dicks, head of annuity propositions for Aviva UK Life, said: "There is a risk that without forward planning, today's young adults could end up in a work-to-live cycle for what feels like 'forever'. Without suitable pension provision and a means to pay off their mortgage before retirement, people could find themselves having to work for much longer than they do now.
"And if people have children in their 40s who then live with them into their 30s – a trend which is currently growing(3) – people could be supporting their 'children' well into what has traditionally been a time to retire and relax.
"On a more positive note, life expectancy is also increasing steadily, rising from 82.8 and 86.8 respectively for men and women born 30 years ago, to 88.5 and 91.8 for people born now(4). So even though people are working longer, they are also living longer in retirement. This underlines the importance of planning ahead and preparing for a long life."
Aviva has also unearthed the following "forever generation" statistics:
- The number of women having children over the age of 40 has increased by more than four times in the last 30 years, from 6,000 per year to 25,400 now.(4)
- Babies born in 2039 are predicted to have a life expectancy of 92.3 years (males) and 95.1(females)(5)

Strange as it may seem to those more accustomed to the slick, successful Bayern of today, when the club was founded in 1900, it consisted of eleven students, shopkeepers and office workers from the bohemian Munich neighbourhood of Schwabing. Under ambitious long-term president Kurt Landauer, the club nonetheless clinched a surprise first national title in 1932.
After the Second World War, Bayern slid into relative obscurity and were not even admitted to the inaugural Bundesliga of 1963/64. The club's fortunes improved with the emergence of gifted youngsters Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller, however, and German Cup wins were followed by an unexpected UEFA Cup Winners' Cup triumph in 1966/67.
Domestic dominance was soon established and continued into the 1970s, when a side bolstered by the likes of Uli Hoeness and Paul Breitner stepped up another notch and claimed three consecutive European Champion Clubs' Cups between 1974 and 1976. Bayern overcame Club Atlético de Madrid (4-0 in a replay after 1-1 draw), Leeds United AFC (2-0) and AS Saint-Etienne (1-0) in the finals.
Slowly the stars left or faded, but a new generation headed by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge picked up more domestic silverware, as did a talented lineup led by Lothar Matthäus. With Jürgen Klinsmann scoring the goals and Beckenbauer in the dugout, Bayern claimed ten Bundesliga titles during the 1980s and 1990s, and lifted the UEFA Cup in 1995/96.
The end of the decade brought more renewal by another crop of gifted players, not least goalkeeper Oliver Kahn and playmaker Mehmet Scholl. Though UEFA Champions League glory painfully escaped their grasp against Manchester United FC in the 1998/99 final, OttmarHitzfeld's men bounced back against Valencia CF two years later to return Bayern to the pinnacle of the European game.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Northern Illinois Food Bank, Geneva, IL, USA
Boy Scout Troop 80 in St. Charles, IL has been been honored to work at the NIFB as a community service project for the last few years. During the Christmas holidays the food bank receives many volunteers. However, during the months of Jan., Feb., and Mar.- historically they have been in dire need of volunteer help. This is when we stepped in. The NIFB has greatly impacted the 40+ boys and their families within our troop. How? 1.) the emotional high of knowing that in some small way they have helped someone in need, and 2.) the camaraderie of spending time with friends and fellow scouters while doing a "good turn". I cannot praise this institution enought for its good work and willingness to allow us to help others.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the ways it has transformed the 40+ boys in our troop. It has allowed them to see another side of society that they don't see every day- one in need. These wonderful boys learned how to give their time to help others in need- an invaluable life lesson.

Those messages are there because you're running Java 8. The first three parameters mentioned don't do anything when running Java 8, the last one currently does change behavior, but won't in a future version.
These parameters DO have meaning to Java 7, which is a supported platform for the currently available Solr releases, and will continue to be supported by the 5.0 release. Increasing PermSize (the first two parameters mentioned) is a perfectly valid thing to do on Java 7. The third and fourth messages refer to garbage collection tuning parameters that are supported by Java 7. They were intentionally included to speed up garbage collection.
Although it might be possible to include changes that would get rid of these warnings on Java 8, it would make the start script significantly more complicated. That complexity means bugs would be more likely to escape notice and affect users. I would much rather see warnings than bugs.
I'll leave the issue open right now, in case a committer with more experience has a different take on your concern.
In the future, please raise issues like this on the user's list first so we can keep the JIRAs focused on code problems/improvements.
Actually I encouraged Carsten to file an issue for this, as the start script perfectly well can check Java version and optimize the set of options accordingly. It is a very bad OOTB experience for new users to get WARNINGs thrown on a normal legal startup. The argument that they are "supposed to be there" is not a good one, and I'd like us to polish the user experience to be best possible. I'll probably re-open this issue and start looking into it.
the issue certainly seemed like it was phrased as a question that should have started on the user list - but yeah, let's re-open and re-summarize and evaluate
some related comments from Uwe & jan on the dev list:
I just reviewed the solr.sh.in and solr.cmd.in scripts in solr/bin folder. The following was committed but never discussed:
# These GC settings have shown to work well for a number of common Solr workloads GC_TUNE="-XX:-UseSuperWord \ -XX:NewRatio=3 \ -XX:SurvivorRatio=4 \ -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 \ -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=8 \ -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC \ -XX:+UseParNewGC \ -XX:ConcGCThreads=4 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 \ -XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark \ -XX:PretenureSizeThreshold=64m \ -XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=1 \ -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly \ -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=50 \ -XX:CMSTriggerPermRatio=80 \ -XX:CMSMaxAbortablePrecleanTime=6000 \ -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled \ -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled \ -XX:+AggressiveOpts"
This is horrible, because of our experience with Hotspot bugs:
This option is veeeery risky and speed improvements are marginal. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS. If people want the new features they should wait for later Java releases and the new features are tested. See several tasks about the Java 7 disaster! In fact we had reports at Java 6 times when people had enabled this and were affected by the Java 7 GA bugs already in Java 6 and corrupted their indexes!!!
If you have a Haswell CPU, all other improvements in these command line settings are eaten up by this flag! If you have 7u55 at minimum, you should never disable this. Things like BooleanFilter and other bitset operations are up to 2 times faster with Java 7u55 on Haswell CPUs and later!!! This setting only makes sense if you have one of those buggy JDKs (7u40 to 7u51). In all other cases this slows down enormous! In addition, enabling this option may break JDKs before 7u40 (this option was added in 7u40), so breaks:
> Unrecognized VM option 'UseSuperWord'
It would be good, if we could fix the startup scripts not not have options, which may also break with JDK 8 or later!
Can we in a smart way build these best practices into the script, by testing JVM version and (un)setting some of these automatically based on version? The solr.in.* config could have a new option GC_TUNE_AUTO="true" and GC_TUNE commented out. Then if auto is enabled, the bin/solr scripts will decide what flags to set. Experts can override.
Also related is
SOLR-6705, some options should be set automatically only for some JVM versions.
Timothy Potter, see also the patch @
SOLR-6693 where I added detection of Solr version and 32/64 bit as part of that issue. Could be used for further decision making. One approach I thought of is to split GC into three variables in solr.in.sh: GC_TUNE, GC_TUNE_JAVA7 and GC_TUNE_JAVA8, and move version-specific options over to the respective vars. Just an idea.
Thanks Jan Høydahl for helping out with the 32-bit windows script issues!
For this, here's what I'm thinking of adding to the *nix script
JAVA_VERSION=`echo "$(java -version 2>&1)" | grep "java version" | awk '{ print substr($3, 2, length($3)-2); }'` if [ "${JAVA_VERSION:0:3}" == "1.7" ]; then # Specific Java version hacking GC_TUNE="$GC_TUNE -XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=1 -XX:CMSTriggerPermRatio=80" JAVA_MINOR_VERSION=${JAVA_VERSION:(-2)} if [[ $JAVA_MINOR_VERSION -ge 40 && $JAVA_MINOR_VERSION -le 51 ]]; then GC_TUNE="$GC_TUNE -XX:-UseSuperWord" echo -e "\nWARNING: Java version $JAVA_VERSION has known bugs with Lucene and requires the -XX:-UseSuperWord flag. Please consider upgrading your JVM.\n" fi fi
Obviously the problematic flags will be removed from the default GC_TUNE settings in solr.in.sh and then just enabled for specific versions.

Practicality In Plants, At A Time When It's More Important Than Ever Before
EP Editorial Staff | October 2, 2006
For a certainty, physical asset management is one of the keys to plant profitability-perhaps even the most important one.Much has been written about the topic, but John Mitchell's Fourth Edition Physical Asset Management Handbook again follows the author's tradition by giving both focus and direction to a seemingly overwhelming and broad subject.
Mitchell's handbook does not fit the common finding "when it's all said and done, more has been said than done."By showing what the best of the best have been doing, this outstanding text goes well beyond the general philosophizing and adds value by presenting considerable experience-based detail. In doing so, the book again exceeds expectations by presenting facts rather than mere general concepts. It thereby allows others to become doers instead of philosophizers.
In this text, definition, objectives, benefits and opportunities are first outlined and then explored, explained, and analyzed for the serious maintenance manager and reliability professional. With outstanding clarity,Mitchell's handbook explains program necessity and optimization principles, major program elements and current best practices, implementation examples and financial results. Probably the foremost expert on asset management,Mitchell selected 10 contributors who clearly understand both theory and practice. He then organized much of their collective work into a true handbook that delineates benchmarking and data gathering issues, condition assessment technologies, fundamentals of lubricating fluid analysis and asset optimization case histories from companies representing petrochemicals, power generation, pharmaceuticals, and others. Time and again, this neatly revised and thoroughly updated handbook emphasizes the practical aspects of asset management–and does so at a time when practicality is more important than ever before.
In essence, John Mitchell again proves that he's uniquely equipped to combine decades of practical experience with feedback from the participants of his popular public and in-plant asset management workshops in the United States and many other countries.He obviously achieved his goal of incorporating this feedback into the Fourth Edition text. As was the case with previous editions, Mitchell's handbooks have become the "Gold Standard"in the field of asset management.
We found the text a true pleasure to read. It will certainly add understanding to managers and reliability professionals interested in optimizing profits by navigating safely through the challenges and trials facing industry today. That being the case, the book should not be missed by anyone aiming for optimized asset performance and sustained profits. MT

Hey everyone! I am enjoying the last few days of my time with my family holiday before throwing myself back full speed with work 🙂 So pardon the continued lag in blogging, but rest assured you'll get plenty of words from me once I'm back at "work" haha!
There's a newly modified bag by Fendi, brought on by the popularity of the 2Jours tote. This one is called the Fendi 3Jours Tote.
Here's a little side- by- side comparison in case you can't quite picture the difference–
The 2Jours and 3Jours look alike in many ways. The straps on the 3Jours are longer, and there is a "break" in the hardware top. And though the 3Jours tote seems more streamlined than the 2Jours, it's also only because the sides were tucked in. But when both bags have that "batwing" look, the only noticeable difference would be the longer straps which make for easier shoulder carry.
I'm really loving big bags with as little embellishments as possible– the cleaner the bag looks, the better and the less fussy. I think it's all about keeping things simple and classy these days, and Fendi has got it down pat!
I think I'd still prefer the 2Jours, but I think many will be happy with the longer strap for the 3Jours!
The new Fendi 3Jours Tote is now available for purchase HERE. Oh and yeah, red is a very festive color, perfect for starting 2014! 🙂

Upon receiving strong pre-orders, T-Mobile has significantly increased production of its G1 phone, the first of it's kind to use Google's Android software.
In a statement on October 3rd, T-Mobile said:
Given the great anticipation and the heavy presale demand for the T-Mobile G1 with Google, we nearly tripled the number of phones initially available for delivery on our Oct. 22 launch date, and have sold through them all
The HTC-manufactured phone has been widely anticipated, as it is the first device of it's kind to sport Google's Android OS. As an Android device, it will also provide access to the Android Market, Google's answer to the rival App Store which has proved so popular with iPhone users.
According to the T-Mobile G1 site, customers can still pre-order the device, with an expected delivery date "as early as 10th November 2008".
T-Mobile clearly have a great opportunity, being the first on the market with an Android-based phone. It seems like a sensible move to increase production and also to have a direct route to customers who wish to pre-order the device. How well they are able to capitalise on this opportunity will depend to some extent on how well they are able to market the device and educate consumers before their competitors launch Android-based devices of their own.

CapX2020 advancing: Helicopters, implosives next phase for transmission line
A new phase of construction on the CapX2020 project between Bemidji and Grand Rapids will start next week.
With 215 large support structures in place between Cass Lake and Cohasset, the next phase calls for helicopters to install conductor wires between the supports.
Crews also will use implosive connectors to splice transmission conductor joints, with the goal of stringing the transmission wire by the end of April.
"(Drivers) may see some of the helicopter work," said Cindy Kuismi, project communications specialist for Otter Tail Power Co., the lead energy company involved with the CapX2020 project. "We want to make sure they aren't slowing down, stopping, causing accidents."
A 230-kilovolt transmission line between the Wilton Substation near Bemidji and the Boswell Substation near Grand Rapids follows a 70-mile route of existing pipelines, including along U.S. Highway 2 from Cass Lake to Ball Club.
Construction began in January 2011 and is expected to be complete later this year. Once the transmission line between Cass Lake and Cohasset is complete, crews will work on installing supports between Cass Lake and the Wilton Substation west of Bemidji.
The latest phase isn't expected to prompt road closures, but there may be reduced speeds in areas. The wires will cross Highway 2 near Pike Bay and three miles east of it.
The start of work using helicopters and implosive devices on the Bemidji-Grand Rapids line will depend on weather, Otter Tail officials said.
In addition, Todd Langston, construction manager for Otter Tail, said Tuesday that colder weather would help the project as some areas are too wet to access by land and lessen the environmental impact by equipment on the ground.
"We want to have as little environmental impact as possible," Kuismi said.
The implosive connectors used to splice transmission conductor joints involve a split-second detonation, creating a flash and a loud boom that sounds similar to a shotgun blast. The work will be done during daylight hours Mondays through Saturdays.
Eleven utilities, including Xcel Energy and Otter Tail Power, backed the CapX2020 transmission project to improve the reliability of electrical service and expand power transmission capacity to accommodate expected growth in the Red River Valley, Alexandria and northern Minnesota.
The utilities' are building the 230-kilovolt connection from Bemidji to Grand Rapids and three 345-kilovolt lines.
As the area grows, additional electricity capacity is needed, making the CapX2020 project important for future growth and service reliability, said Kuismi, adding studies dating back a decade show the need for higher-voltage transmission lines.
Proponents of CapX2020, a heavily permitted project requiring approval from multiple federal and state agencies, said it will provide new ways to transmit wind-generated electricity from the west. Opponents have questioned whether the additional transmission capacity was needed.
The three CapX2020 345-kilovolt electric transmission lines call for a 250-mile line from Fargo, N.D., to Monticello, roughly following the Interstate 94 corridor, a 200-mile line from South Dakota's Brookings County to south of St. Paul and a 150-mile line in southeastern Minnesota.

Anyone know a good file sync/archiving program? PC/usb
So, as a college student I find myself with an assload of school work (mostly MS word docs and C++ source files) mixed on both my thumb drive and home computer and am always going back and forth between school and home computers.
So im looking for a program that can sync files between my home computer and thumb drive (would be nice if it was portable and could store it on my usb drive for use on other computers) and preferable have an archiving feature, so I can still go back and look at older versions of my files as needed (EX I have version 1 on my home comp. and ver. 2 on my usb and I dont want version 1 deleted)

robocopy: Which is a command line tool that Windows comes with to back up your stuff and you can add a switch to mirror on the destination drive as well.
C:\windows\system32\robocopy C:\datafolder E:\backups\datafolder /MIR /E
The great thing with tools like robocopy is they only copy the things which have changed.. Or delete the files which are no longer on the source if you use /MIR. Therefore, the first copy takes the longest...but subsequent backups are usually completed in mere seconds.
Karen's File Replicator: I've used this in the past as well. It's very similar to robocopy, but has a GUI.

First IWSG of 2017
With 2016 gone and 2017 here, reflecting on the past is on my brain. My thoughts have taken me back many years to a night when I was a 19 year old college student. That evening was ripe, I was stoked to dress for dancing and visit a couple of clubs with friends.
But such was not meant to be.
That night brought the beginning of a pain that, unfortunately, doesn't show signs of ever leaving, rather ebbing and flowing with my emotions. It could be described with all manner of words, but not exactly captured, no matter the wordsmith phrasing. And it was a screeching hard stop to my life as I knew it.
Since that night, I've learned to start life over. I've had to do it a few times, such as when my marriage fairy tale crash landed in reality and I became a divorced, single mom.
Seems there is a need to begin again, only this time, regarding my writing.
I'm a little scared.
A lot scared.
It would be so easy to let go of this writing thing, to enjoy having published myself and being published by a few small publishers...
To just -
But the ideas won't stop coming. The characters won't stop speaking. And, well, I love this. Even though I suck at marketing and selling books, I'm a story teller. So here I go, beginning again.
If your writing world is doing great, I pray 2017 continues to bring you good things and prosperity.
If you're anything like me and your writing world more closely resembles a beautiful catastrophe, know you are not alone. I recommend seeing the movie Sing. Seriously. It's a cartoon movie but believe me when I say it has a heart-touching message, quite a few, actually.
I've got a lot of work ahead of me for 2017, but what about you? What are your hopes for 2017? Are you struggling with something? Feel free to use the comments section to vent a little. We all need to get things off of our chests sometimes.

I'm in that stage of rebuilding/reinventing my life that you've gone through more than once. It's hard to do, especially since I haven't done it before.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your writing goals. Glad you are not giving up. Even if you don't achieve all the sales you want, you are a good writer and creative. So don't give up! You'll be glad you have it when your daughter grows up and you have more time to devote to it.Replies
Rebuilding can be work but definitely worth the while.Delete
I can't imagine not writing because like you, the ideas keep coming. I probably have more ideas I can use in my whole life - unless I write really really fast, lol.ReplyDeleteReplies
By the time one idea is written all the way, there'll be so many others waiting in the wings, even if you write really fast lol!Delete
As I read this I'm reminded of Van Gogh. In his lifetime he did 900 paintings and over 1000 sketches.ReplyDelete

Don't give up.Replies
I wish I could say I had his talent, but perhaps I can comfortably say I have his persistence. :-)Delete
Happy New Year, Angela!ReplyDelete
Sometimes a writer goes through some very dark tunnels. We don't understand why, but if we didn't go through them we would never be able to help anyone. Our books would be lifeless. Those trials that you are experiencing right now puts life in your characters as you write. People will read your books and relate to what you're writing and say, I've been there too.
So hang in there. Keep on writing and keep looking ahead.
I am wishing you an awesome 2017.

Thank you so much for this encouragement. I can really use it and hope your comment is an encouragement to others as well.Delete
Onward and upward, eh? I think life is 1 part what happens to us, and 1 part what we make of that. There's always the possibility of spiraling, but building is the only way to go. Here's wishing you the best 2017, and the fortitude to keep on with your aspirations!ReplyDeleteReplies
Wishing you the best for your 2017 as well. Onward and upward!Delete
You're strong, Angela. I've contemplated stopping, too. But I can't. Just can't. We'll both keep on. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Together, we'll keep giving readers stories and telling tales:-)Delete
Nothing is going to keep you down.ReplyDelete
Stopping has occurred to me many times. I've even planned it. But who knows what the future will bring.
Happy 2017!Replies
The future really isn't set in stone.Delete
Happy 2017!!
So long as you keep picking yourself up and moving forward, you're a champ to me:) And having constant writing inspiration from your characters doesn't hurt either;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, the characters have made it clear they aren't going anywhere until their tales are told. Lol! Better get at it.Delete
Hello Angela,ReplyDelete
May 2017 be the year that brings your writing dreams to fruition and fulfillment.
The trials you've been true have helped shaped who you are today. Sorry for the pain but you being here today shows it didn't defeat you. Press on. The world and your precious Chipmunk needs you. Sending love and Happy New Year Angela.ReplyDelete
2017 IWSG January Co-Host
I love Sheena-kay's comment and she captured what I was thinking while reading your post so well I can only say "ditto." Keep going, Angela. And I wish you and your Chipmunk all the happiness in the world in the year ahead.ReplyDelete
You can do this! You are an awesome writer. Here's to a grand 2017 for all of us! :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm a great believer in whatever knocks us down in life makes us stronger, even if sometimes the pain can seem unbearable. I know staying strong can be a constant battle, but I cannot ever imagine you saying enough when it comes to your writing. Your strength shines through it, inspiring us all to overcome our personal demons and be true to ourselves. Don't let your talent be wasted.ReplyDelete
Your beautiful flowing rhythm shares so much of your college to mom to author years. Thanks for showing me such a good read, I've been doing this for years and believe me knowing is one thing but you know how to do it! In Klingon that leads to Qapla!ReplyDelete
Spoken like a true writer. My son once asked me- do you think Poe would have stopped writing because people told him his work was too dark? Keep writing. We have until we're dead to make it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for informationReplyDelete
I wish you and your Chipmunk all the happiness in the world in the year ahead.ReplyDelete

Mass Effect - Interview @ MTV
MTV has an article format interview with Paul Marino, one of a group of machinima makes helping BioWare make Mass Effect "the most cinematic game ever":
Marino is one of the most prominent members of the machinima community, a group that uses games such as "The Sims," "Half-Life 2" and "Neverwinter Nights" as staging grounds for its own stories. Until early this year, Marino's main gig was running an annual Machinima Film Festival in New York. But he has spent the bulk of 2007 working in Edmonton in the Canadian province of Alberta, helping ensure that the interactive conversations featuring "Mass Effect" 's Jack-Bauer-style Commander Shepard have the verve of the best verbal showdowns in feature films. He and the handful of other BioWare recruits from the machinima field know that that's not the standard for most video game conversations.

NOTTINGHAM, England, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- A disease hitting sheep flocks and cattle herds in Europe has spread to wild animals, infecting wild deer, veterinary experts say.
The virus disease spread by insects, which causes birth defects in lambs and can reduce milk yields in cattle, is having huge financial impacts on some farms, they said.
Now studies in Belgium have shown wild deer can catch the virus, known as Schmallenberg virus or SBV, although the impact on deer and their offspring is unknown.
"We know deer get the virus -- they produce antibodies to it," Rachael Tarlinton, a virology expert and veterinary scientist at the University of Nottingham, told the BBC.
There is concern wild animals like deer could act as a reservoir of infection, scientists said.
"We should implement specific surveillance of wild animals for SBV," said Mutien-Marie Garigliany of the Universite de Liege, one of a team of experts studying SBV in wildlife in the south of Belgium.
In addition to deer, wild boar have shown signs of SBV infection, although it is not thought to make them sick, he said.

A quick pick up from East Ham London set the wheels rolling towards Europe. With the steely direction of 'Mayank' the tour manager we surfed through Brussels, parts of Germany black forest where cuckoo clock originated. Meandering through the Swiss roads leading to the scenic Mt Titlis and amazing waterfalls. Leaving exotic destinations one after another, Paris the final destination was amongst its highlights. Great food and accommodation.
A superb back up, recovery and admin plans in place, a sure way to travel in comfort and peace of mind. Well worth the money.

It's the mid-1960s and James Bond's beloved Miss Moneypenny combines forces with him to smoke out a mole that she is convinced is buried deep in the heart of MI6. Her dangerous mission takes her from the glamour of Jamaica to the treacherous beaches of the Outer Hebrides. It puts her on the map as a spy too - until she breaks the cardinal rule of espionage and risks everything by penning an explosive private diary.

"A Twist on Bond"
This book helped to resolve questions left unanswered at the end of the first two books. I enjoyed the fact that at times it was difficult to separate fact from fiction. The story involved references to familiar storylines in the Bond stories and real incidents from the lives of famous spies that became news headlines. It was so well written that it made me begin to wonder if Miss Moneypenny had been real.
It weaves elements of stories about James Bond with new material about what happened in the life of M's personal secretary, Miss Jane Moneypenny.
Eleanor Bron's reading of the story helped to make it feel real. The accent that she used for Jane Moneypenny fitted very well.
Miss Moneypenny - the woman behind the spies.
I enjoyed the series so much that I was sad when I got to the end. It was well written and performed.

The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby
This iteration of Fitzgerald's classic tale of the Jazz Age, and the decadence that accompanied it, shines as a result of Robertson Dean's superb performance. Dean, whose well-paced baritone meshes flawlessly with the book's dialogue, evokes images of classic newscasters, who could relate any story or event as though they were anonymous interlopers. At its simplest, GATSBY is a celebration of excess, but it is far more. The novel is filled with brilliant dialogue, which Dean clearly relishes. In addition, the book is a complex character study, focusing not only on Jay Gatsby himself but also on narrator Nick Carraway and on Daisy Fay Buchanan, the love of Gatsby's life. Each of their worlds comes to life in this memorable performance. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award

Bob's Super Simple Shield - MWC
This shield was changed to a whole new unit:
After much discussion with many people, it turned out that adding the whole 5V regulated power line along with with the 3V3 if needed was not received as a simple solution shield, and looking back I now do see that . I went back to the drawing board (or computer) and removed anything that was not already easily available from items that would always be on a multirotor, be it ESC BEC power or whatever. Basically what was lacking was 3V3, so my shield would get its 5V from the ESC BEC/s and then I would put the minimum necessary components for clean 3V3 power. Care was taken and I searched for a 3V3 Regulator so that you could use the same capacitor type and value on the intake and output, and to be ceramic so you do not have to worry about polarity as the ceramics are non-polarity - so no worry about letting the magic smoke out.
What emerged is the 'Super Simple Shield', and thus far, everybody I have talked to and that has tested it agrees that this is indeed an extremely simple to assemble shield.
I had many discussions about what was wanted in a shield and also with the member and father of the MultiWii Project, Alexinparis and asked him what he had in mind for upcoming software for the ProMini.
As you can see, the shield has quite a few connections, all of which can be used in different arrangements making the shield not only simple but very versatile.
I have brought out pin D12 for those that enjoy the simplicity of just a WM+, pin8 was then used for Aux2, which is currently in the current release of the software so you can use a 6ch radio w/ regular RX and not need a PPM out RX and also to activate Aux2 to turn on/off different sensors as you see fit.
Pins A0 & A1 were put inline with the ESCs as again, in DEV software they are being used as motors 5 & 6 for hexas and allowing you to use a regular RX and fly a hexa - again, all of this is being implemented as I type this.
Last was size - I opted to go the standard 50 x 50mm square in an effort to be as light as possible. Some may say that is no big deal, and I thought this myself as routing would have been much easier with the additional space a round shield provides, but after building my first MicroQuad - BlueSkyRC's MicroQuad by Terry Balling, it was decided - go square and save as much weight as possible.
I hope you all enjoy the shield as much as I did laying it out and from the feedback I have received from the testers. The Super Simple Shield is being distributed by BlueSkyRC.com. Qrome is an incredibly nice guy to deal with and as it turns out we are only about 20MI apart, an added bonus. Being that BlueSkyRC is US based, the shields are already here, so just a 2-3day shipment for most of the US.
Have a good day/night,
As always, any constructive criticism is welcome . My goal is to make the hobby as fun and as simple for everybody, from the guys who have been in the hobby for 50+yrs that taught me to fly 25yrs ago, to the guys like myself who have been in and out of the hobby due to life circumstances for 25+yrs, to the younger guys and girls that are just now getting into what will probably be a life long hobby.

Hello World, I just got off the phone with a woman I dated in undergrad; while, there are years and several miles separating us now, we attempted to rekindle the passion once held between us. But, there always seems to be some sort of interjection as her wants, once upon a time, far acceded her honesty. With no shame, I too admit to being a victim of the same. I will always care for her but accepting fault once is okay in my opinion and maybe even a couple of times after the fact. However, to continue to allow your self ill treatment is an unhealthy act one can prevent.
The ordeal; I believe in "LOVE"! I long for "LOVE"! I desire to share what my opinion of "LOVE" is with the most deserving woman for me and me for her. I've been a victim of thinking that forgiving or accepting fault of ones past will make it possible to dwell within the presence of "LOVE"! But, "LOVE" is in fact a gift, a true "PRESENT" to be cherished and cultivated. So, on with my life and the next woman. I wait for you with open arms. Just understand that when we find each other, you may need to massage my deltoids and biceps because the lactic acid has been depleting the flow of oxygenated blood. It doesn't mean that I can not hold you. It just represents the natural struggles of life. I'm sure you may need the same treatment.
World, she depicted growth through the receiver of that phone and I felt happy for her. Yet, her hope does not lie back down in my bed. Her growth is to be shared with another, who may need a similar caress of the arms. She claims that men are not ready for monogamy nor are they willing to try.
I disagree with a smile because, I long for a monogamous "LOVING" relationship to share gratification with! The type that breads lustful glances from across the dinner table and thoughtful conversation in between moments of kisses, hugs and booty rubs. I can not be alone within that regard. I would like to think that I am special, but, I'm only one of several uncut diamonds that wait to be chipped into perfections as I believe that is what a true "LOVING" and respectful relationship will breed.
So, hope is not lost for that woman or any other woman for that matter. It's all a matter of time. American society leads us to believe in fairy tales or perfection. That unfortunately does not exist within any aspect of life. I once accomplished a wrestling season of thirty-seven victories with no defeats. Yet, even within that whole season I gave up six takedowns or scores against me. When I think of the sacrifices I made during that season, abstinence, no consumption of sweet liquid and foods. It leads me to believe that comparative sacrifices are needed for a relationship to work. That means one must choose a mate that is willing to make sacrifices. Then, the probability of more joyful memories, are greater than the fifty percent chance of one's marriage not succeeding. Even then, one will give up takedowns, so to speak.
Question; I have promised myself to wait for that woman I believe to be my gift and I a gift to her. So, hope is not lost for women and other men who are willing to make similar sacrifices. Or is it?

The mysterious start to Satoshi Ishi's professional mixed martial arts career continued on Saturday in Japan at the Saitama Arena during Sengoku's "Seventh Battle."
Ishii entered the ring during the show's intermission and was seen wearing a UFC t-shirt. After wishing the crowd a Happy New Year, the former judoka referred to himself as an MMA fighter. Ishii also took the opportunity to dispels rumors that Bob Sapp's victory over the masked professional wrestler "Kinniku Mantaro" during FEG's "Dynamite!!" event on New Year's Eve was against him.
Some confusion was created by the loss because the role of Mantaro, a popular character within Japanese Anime, was played by Akihito Tanaka, who was a Olympic bronze medalist for Japan in freestyle wrestling.
Ishii closed the interview by re-stating his intentions to begin his career in the U.S. but vowed to return to Japan one day and intimated he would do so as a world champion.
The appearance was surprising because Ishii, a gold medal winner in judo while representing his native country of Japan during this past summer's Olympic games in Beijing, at one point had reportedly signed with FEG's DREAM promotion and was expected to appear at "Dynamite!!" Sengoku is considered to be a direct competitor to DREAM.
However, the deal between Ishii and DREAM apparently never became finalized as he would later be quoted as saying that he considered the UFC to be the top promotion in the world and it was his desire to compete there. Soon after the comments became public, UFC President Dana White invited Ishii to spend time in the United States during the New Year's holiday in order to attend UFC 92 while also touring several of Las Vegas' top MMA gyms.
Despite not having signed a contract with the UFC, the promotion still featured him on-camera several times during the Japanese feed of the UFC 92 pay-per-view. Soon after, a release was issued on UFC.com which proclaimed that "exclusive" negotiations had begun between both parties.
"Satoshi Ishii has the potential to be very successful in mixed martial arts," White was quoted as saying. "We can't wait to start working with Mr. Ishii, we look forward to helping him with his training, his career, and his eventual debut in a professional fight."
To date, there have been no official reports that Ishii has formally signed with the UFC.

Dah lama nak try resipi ayam bali Ms. Hart nih, especially since aku banyak terbaca kat blog kakak2, yang masakan ni senang dan sedap. Kalau tengok dari bahan2 yang digunakan aku skeptikal sikit lah… macam …. ye ker sedap..?? Simple sangat tu… tapi bila gua dah masak sendiri… aku akui lah memang sedap dan senang… Terima Kasih kepada Ms. Hart sebab beri resipi… nak bagi link pun tak boleh sebab dia dah privatekan blog dia…
Ingredients :
- ½ kg chicken cut to manageable size
- 2 tbsp blended dried chilli (more if you want it spicier)
- 3 tbsp curry powder ( i used Faiza Raja Curry powder)

The Algebraic Geometry of Perfect and Sequential Equilibrium
Two of the most important refinements of the Nash equilibrium concept for extensive form games are (trembling hand) perfect equilibrium and sequential equilibrium. It is shown here that, for almost all assignments of payoffs to outcomes, the sets of sequential and perfect equilibrium strategy profiles are identical. This result is obtained by exploiting the semialgebraic nature of equilibrium correspondences, following from a deep theorem of mathematical logic. Copyright 1994 by The Econometric Society.

Genital warts are not very easily spread when they are dormant. when you have an out break, you should not make contact with anyone else, because they will spread like wild fire. Just be careful, and go to a doctor for some medication on keeping it dormant.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Bald Girls Do Lunch Inc, Scarborough, NY, USA
Ive been struggling with hair loss for about 5 years. I wore clip on hair and was tortured that everyone knew. I spent tons of money at the salon getting half a head colored and blow dried, but still I felt everyone knew I was half bald. One day I started buying very expensive wigs, and never found one I liked. To me wearing a wig was as bad as being bald. Finally after 5 different doctors, injections, biopsies, and creams I thought this is too stressful. My son suggested shaving what hair was left. I was so afraid to show my husband. When he saw it and kissed my head I felt so much stronger. I also have strong women friends that encouraged me to embrace my baldness, and today I only wear a wig at work. My boss thinks it would be too uncomfortable for everyone. Most days I feel beautiful and different. There are so many more things in life to be concerned about.

Out-of-favour with the national selectors, Ashish Nehra produced a sensational spell of pace bowling for Chennai Super Kings, albeit in a Champions League Twenty20 losing cause against Kolkata Knight Riders, and then hit out at critics for always highlighting his injuries.
Nehra, now 35, had made his international debut in 1999 amid promises of a long and successful career. However, frequent injuries and dip in form did not allow him to play more than 120 ODIs and 17 Test matches.
On Wednesday, during the CLT20 opener, Nehra revived memories of his destructive spell against England in the 2003 World Cup, taking 4 for 21 in his four overs against IPL champions KKR. Nehra got the ball to talk on a hard Hyderabad surface and his speed left the Kolkata batsmen baffled.
Realistically, Nehra's chance of an Indian comeback looks remote, no matter how well he does in the CLT20. At 35, he can only hope to impress with his old wicket-taking skills and look back with regret at an injury-prone career.
"I have had a history with injuries throughout my career and I am not denying that. But in India, once you get a reputation for something, it is hard to get out of it. Last season I played all the domestic matches and was very much fit throughout," Nehra told CLT20.com.
"Unfortunately, I got a side strain during the IPL and everyone went overboard about my fitness again. I do get injured like many other players do. But my injuries are always highlighted. I cannot do anything about it except working hard and fighting back."
But Nehra is not willing to give up. He wants to look at his age as just a mere number and is more than keen to fight his way back into the Indian team through sheer dint of performances.
"I just try and give it my all. I have good physios and doctors around me to help me out and I put my best into it as well. I don't care what people say about me.
"I love playing this game and irrespective of my age, I want to continue playing cricket - for India, for CSK and for Delhi. And I will continue to work hard for that," Nehra told CLT20.com.
How Nehra's wickets help him in the longer run remains to be seen. Several players in the past have used the IPL and CLT20 to regain national spots. But a fast bowler in his mid-30s may not exactly excite the selectors, irrespective of what he does with four-over spells against quality batsmen.

The Stanley Cup is heading to the Gay Pride Parade.
Chicago Blackhawks President John McDonough says he'll detour the Stanley Cup from the NHL draft in Los Angeles to the streets of East Lakeview Sunday, according to the Sun-Times' Michael Sneed.
Hawks defenseman Brent Sopel, along with his wife and four kids, will carry the cup along the Pride Parade route.
"The power of the Cup is incomprehensible, and we recognize the importance of doing this," said McDonough to Sneed.
The Chicago Gay Hockey Association got the puck rolling for Lord Stanley's appearance by offering the Blackhawks an invitation to join them.
Sopel says he plans to carry the Stanley Cup proud in honor of Brendan Burke, the son of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke, who was killed last year in a car accident. Brendan Burke died shortly after coming out about his sexuality.
"We teach our kids about accepting everybody. Tolerate everybody, to understand where everyone is coming from, " said Sopel to Sneed.

Renovation of the United Methodist Archives and History Center at Drew University
The United Methodist Archives and History Center at Drew University will undergo a major renovation during 2012-13. This work is made possible thanks to a generous gift from the university's long-time benefactor Norman Tomlinson, who has previously given the Drew University Library significant collections of Byron, Whitman and Churchill. A new, ideal climate-controlled environment will be installed on the second floor, including a non-water fire-suppressant system. Security measures will be tightened, and movable compact shelving will replace the traditional shelving, thereby doubling storage capacity.
Work is scheduled to run from December 2012 through August 2013. Collections housed on the second floor will be moved to temporary storage areas. These collections include all Methodist books, periodicals, pamphlets and serials, as well as the Byron Society of America collection and the Society for Biblical Literature archive. They will be unavailable for the duration of the renovation project. All Methodist manuscript collections, microforms, Drew University Library's special collections and Drew University Archives will continue to be available.
For further information or to check the availability of collections, please contact Chris Anderson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We've not featured anything from ISAK for a while and, just as we were missing their joyful little faces, along comes some great new additions to the Familijen range.
Month: September 2012
Madrid White Paper Light
The Madrid Paper Light is a notch or two up from the paper shades sold in packs of three in Argos.
Della Sofa from Graham and Green
Whilst the raspberry velvet covering might not to be everyone's taste, the 1950s shape of the Della Sofa will certainly have a wider appeal.
eBay watch: 1960s Robin Day for Hille Form Group Sofa
Tend to try and pick out things with low starting prices for the eBay slot, but we also like to pick out rarities too. This 1960s Robin Day for Hille Form Group Sofa is definitely the latter rather than the former.
The Art of Instruction Book
Vintage educational charts crop up in salvage shops from time to time, but if you're a fan you might want to take a look at The Art of Instruction, which collects 150 of these charts into a book.
Willow Pattern Plate Necklace from Tatty Devine
Tatty Devine never fail to create show-stopping pieces from unlikely sources and their Willow Pattern Plate Necklace, based on the classic crockery design, is no exception.

Sarah Whitley and Matthew Brett, the Japanese equity team at Baillie Gifford, have made it a hat-trick of successive top spots in The Herald's monthly table of best-performing fund managers in Scotland.
Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, in its last appearance in the rankings before being swallowed by Aberdeen this month, sees its presence in the table cut from seven managers to three.
The top-rated equity stars at houses with a substantial presence in Scotland have seen their relative positions, on three-year performance to the end of April, weaken in the league table of managers across 35 countries ranked by financial publisher Citywire. The number of Scottish managers who qualify for a rating slips from 114 in February and 99 in March to 93 in April, despite a rise in the overall rated manager count from 1601 to 1650.
Loading article content
Only six Scottish managers make the top 200, compared with nine in March, and there is also a reshuffle among the chasing pack behind the Baillie Gifford duo, also top of the pile for five months in a row during 2013, whose overall Citywire ranking slips from 99th (and 69th in March) to 111th.
Jacob de Tusch-Lec, manager of the global income and monthly distribution funds at Artemis,is ranked 117th and moves into the top three, followed by First State's Asia Pacific and emerging markets managers David Gait (133rd) and Jonathan Asante (158th).
Ousted from A's top five are Tim Steer at Artemis (down from 111th to 405th) and Audrey Ryan at Kames (from 119th to 289th).
Artemis gains two new ratings in the shape of Laurent Millet and Mark Page, who run the European Opportunities fund and came in at 1258th.
Baillie Gifford continue out in front with an unchanged 22 showings, while Standard Life is up one to 15 with the arrival of Colette Conboy, AA-rated on the basis of previous track record and ranked 418th and SL's second highest manager.
Artemis and Franklin Templeton have 11 managers each while Ignis, set to disappear into Standard Life Investments, has four (down from five).
Aberdeen Asset Management makes five appearances, up from four thanks to a new entry for Joanne Irvine, global and emerging markets smaller companies specialist, who has Aberdeen's top ranking at 584th. But the disappearing SWIP sees its strength cut from seven to three, with Jonny Russell, Craig Bonthron, Stephen Corr and Andrew Perham all dropping out as performance fell below the Citywire rating bar.
Kames Capital also loses four managers from the March table- Iain Wells, Douglas Scott, Euan McNeil and Peter Shaw - to halve its presence to four.
SVM moves from two to three with the inclusion of Hugh Cuthbert, manager of its European SRI funds, though its top performer Margaret Lawson slips from 145th to 488th.

Managing Users and Groups
Team Foundation security is based on users and groups. You can manage users and groups to implement a security model for your organization. This security model enables users to access the data they require without losing any functionality while protecting confidential information.
For each role in your business, you must determine what group membership is required in order for those users to accomplish their tasks. Team Foundation Server, Windows SharePoint Services, and SQL Server Reporting Services all maintain their own information about groups, users, and permissions. You must carefully plan how you want to manage users and permissions. This planning applies not only across individual Team Foundation Server projects, but also across Team Foundation Server itself, Windows SharePoint Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and the Windows operating system.
When you create a project in Team Foundation Server, each project has three default groups to which you can assign users and groups of users: Project Administrators, Contributors, and Readers. In addition, the Team Foundation Administrators group appears as a group in every project. You can either choose to add users and groups to these default groups, or you can create your own custom groups and assign those groups the permissions appropriate to the business role each group represents.

Cape Town has been populated en masse by the world's wine trade this week for the Cape Wine 2012 trade fair.
If the calibre of attendees is anything to go by, then South African wine is in rude health. There are buyers from around the world, several dozen MWs and contingents of the press from the UK, Scandinavia, Korea, Belgium, Japan, New Zealand and doubtless countless others I have yet to encounter.
I am visiting as part of the UK group, as guests of WOSA, the generic promotional body. We're on a programme packed with activity around the fair itself, on which I will be reporting. In her opening speech, Su Birch, WOSA's CEO, set the scene for South African wine.
Twenty years ago, South Africas' wine exports totalled 27m litres and were sent almost exclusively to the UK. Today, they have ballooned to 377m litres and 134 countries, and are still growing at a rate of 7.8% a year. There is some concern, however, that bulk exports are taking a growing proportion of that volume, which puts jobs at bottling plants at risk – see here for a recent report on the issue.
The South African wine industry was also criticised recently for its poor working conditions. A lengthy rebuttal from WOSA followed, and a new 'agricultural ethical trade initiative' was recently reported by Jancis as a means of assuring the wellbeing of employees throughout the wine supply chain.
The Wine and Agricultural Industry Ethical Trade Association (WIETA) auditing process is meticulous and exhaustive. The most recurrent problems concern health and safety and staff training – for example, carrying out risk assessments, ensuring temporary workers are properly contracted and even regulating the usage of mobile toilets in vineyards.
Ultimately, the aim is to achieve one combined seal of approval for all South African wines that encapsulates all of the WIETA objectives as well as the existing 'integrity and sustainability' seal for which 97% of South African wineries already qualify.
If they can sustain the level of energy and enthusiasm that is pulsing through Cape Town this week, it is surely only a matter of time before they achieve their goal.

A sweet shop in Bury St Edmunds has launched a not-so-sweet challenge.
Auntie Pam's Sweet Shop, in the Traverse, is 'daring' visitors to take part in its mega sour challenge.
It involves putting two Barnets mega sour 'plooms' in your mouth and sucking them for at least 40 seconds.
The only catch is that you can't pull a face or make a comment.
"It's just about watching the expression of people's faces," said shop supervisor Sharon Thompson, who has seen grown men brought to tears by the inoffensive looking sweet.
"People think they can handle it and it's not until they put them in their mouth that they realise just how sour they are," she added.
Today, Bury Free Press reporters Laura Smith and Mark Beaumont decided to give the challenge a go.
Laura said: "The sweets are really sour but I didn't mind that so much. What I found most difficult was keeping two in my mouth with all the extra saliva it was producing. I happily munched them both afterwards, but one at a time."
Mark said: "I didn't think the sweets were too bad - at first. I held them in my teeth and it wasn't until our photographer said out time was up and I actually moved the sweets that I started to feel the burning sensation on my tongue."
The name of anyone who successfully completes the challenge is proudly displayed on Auntie Pam's wall of fame.
All the winning names will eventually be entered into a draw, with a jar of sweets up for grabs.

HINSDALE — Village Board members have appointed Trustee George Faulstich to serve as a liaison between the village and the various parties involved in the future of the shuttered Hinsdale Theater.
Shortly after the theater's Oct. 31 closing, property developer Jay Javors, who is managing the building, said he hoped to attract a major clothing store and retain a smaller space for a theater. In December, residents presented the Village Board with hundreds of petitions in support of the theater's revival.
