A geostatistical analysis of soil salinity in an agricultural area in the San Joaquin Valley included measurements of electrical conductivity of soil paste extract (ECe) and water content of soil samples supplemented by surface measurements of apparent electrical conductivity (EMH). Prediction of soil salinity at unsampled points by cokriging loge(ECe) and EMH is worthwhile because EMH measurements are quicker than soil sampling. This work studies how patterns of loge(ECe) predicted by cokriging with EMH are influenced by variation in gravimetric water content (W). The data are mean EMH = 1.00 ± 0.13 dS m−1 for 2378 locations, mean loge(ECe) = 1.40 ± 0.29 dS m−1, and mean gravimetric W = 0.260 ± 0.003, both averaged for four samples from 0.3-m intervals to 1.2-m depth for 315 locations. The coefficient of determination (R2) for EMH vs. loge(ECe) increased with depth from 0.05 to 0.54 whereas the R2 for EMH vs. W decreased from 0.48 to 0.28. A gray-scale EMH map contained nine out of 56 quarter-section boundaries coinciding with step variations in EMH. The t-statistics for differences in mean W were six of nine significant at 0.001 and nine of nine at 0.05, but mean loge(ECe) had only two of nine at 0.05, implying that W caused EMH steps. Water-affected EMH impaired prediction of ECe at depth by cokriging, because near-surface variations in W masked ECe. Two subareas were defined, one where management factors, such as irrigation, controlled EMH, causing steps, and one where near-surface W varied less, making cokriging predictions more reliable.

Everyone has a desire to work with the best but finding the best is not always the easiest thing to do. Sometimes we can find the best but it will cost is a ton of money and we don't always want to spend top dollar. So what about the people in between? People who are looking for a high-quality service but who don't want to spend an arm and a leg? Is there something for those people out there in the marketplace? Well, there has to be! More accurately there certainly is.
When it comes to finding a top notch company at a good price there plenty of those out there you just have to know where to look. Of course the top accounting firms are not going to be in the big four of Ivy League accounting firms that we all know of. Those companies are too expensive for the majority of people so if you're looking for a good price and a quality service of course those guys are out of your price range. Typically it is the middle range accounting firms that give top-notch service to their customers at a really good price. These are accountants who are well-established in their community, who have a ton of experience, and who can all do it at a pretty good price. This is what you're typically looking for. This is the sort of blueprint of finding a really top accounting firm that will not overcharge you. So even when it comes to finding those kinds of guys you still need to filter through a lot of companies who might not fit what you're looking for. Because there are countless midsize accounting firms out there and they obviously are not all the same when it comes to quality and service.
So you have to try to find a needle in a haystack among those companies. They can be pretty difficult if you don't know what to do but it all comes down to reputation, proof of concept and learning who these companies are. One way to cut down your time looking for quality company is to just click through to the website that we have listed in this article. If you do that you will immediately find a midsize firm that is high quality and it has prices that you can afford. They really are the best thing going on.

Energy-Efficient Subcarrier-and-Bit Allocation in Multi-User OFDMA Systems
Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important for wireless communication systems in order to minimize carbon footprint of wireless networks and to increase the battery life of mobile terminals. The spectral-energy efficiency trade-off is of primary significance to determine how much energy per bit is required in a wireless communication system to achieve a specific spectral efficiency. In this paper, the authors study energy-efficient resource allocation scheme for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems with multiple users. The trade-off between spectral and energy efficiencies is analyzed under the constraint of maintaining the fairness among users. They first formulate the energy-efficient optimization problem as an integer fractional programming.

No Thing - Poem by David Lacey
Stare through fabric to the wall,
Loosing gaze into the centre of red rose weeping,
Why does it feel as I am sleeping?
Nothing's so real these days.
I walk within the shadow of myself,
Dance in duel reality,
Black, White, Wrong, Right,
All ghost concepts in this new world of mine.
No time nor space to swim,
Truly No Thing.
With this I could be happy
Though no happiness I'd feel,
Just one moment for a lifetime,
Eternal turn upon the wheel.
Of life all death is ending,
Of death all life begun,
All souls are worth befriending,
All souls into the sun.
We find ourselves at a loss to speak,
Confronted with the world of true experience,
Dimensions folding into one.
Eye sight paralysed,
See into the seer ,
Sing into the sun.

The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 26, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Agrippa vero ad Paulum ait: "Permittitur tibi loqui pro temetipso". Tunc Paulus, extenta manu, coepit rationem reddere:
2 "De omnibus, quibus accusor a Iudaeis, rex Agrippa, aestimo me beatum, apud te cum sim defensurus me hodie,
3 maxime te sciente omnia, quae apud Iudaeos sunt consuetudines et quaestiones; propter quod, obsecro, patienter me audias.
4 Et quidem vitam meam a iuventute, quae ab initio fuit in gente mea et in Hierosolymis, noverunt omnes Iudaei;
5 praescientes me ab initio, si velint testimonium perhibere, quoniam secundum diligentissimam sectam nostrae religionis vixi pharisaeus.
6 Et nunc propter spem eius, quae ad patres nostros repromissionis facta est a Deo, sto iudicio subiectus,
7 in quam duodecim tribus nostrae cum perseverantia nocte ac die deservientes sperant devenire; de qua spe accusor a Iudaeis, rex!
8 Quid incredibile iudicatur apud vos, si Deus mortuos suscitat?
9 Et ego quidem existimaveram me adversus nomen Iesu Nazareni debere multa contraria agere;
10 quod et feci Hierosolymis, et multos sanctorum ego in carceribus inclusi, a principibus sacerdotum potestate accepta, et cum occiderentur, detuli sententiam;
11 et per omnes synagogas frequenter puniens eos compellebam blasphemare, et abundantius insaniens in eos persequebar usque in exteras civitates.
12 In quibus, dum irem Damascum cum potestate et permissu principum sacerdotum,
13 die media in via vidi, rex, de caelo supra splendorem solis circumfulgens me lumen et eos, qui mecum simul ibant;
14 omnesque nos cum decidissemus in terram, audivi vocem loquentem mihi Hebraica lingua: "Saul, Saul, quid me persequeris? Durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare".
15 Ego autem dixi: "Quis es, Domine?". Dominus autem dixit: "Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris.
16 Sed exsurge et sta super pedes tuos; ad hoc enim apparui tibi, ut constituam te ministrum et testem eorum, quae vidisti, et eorum, quibus apparebo tibi,
17 eripiens te de populo et de gentibus, in quas ego mitto te
18 aperire oculos eorum, ut convertantur a tenebris ad lucem et de potestate Satanae ad Deum, ut accipiant remissionem peccatorum et sortem inter sanctificatos per fidem, quae est in me".
19 Unde, rex Agrippa, non fui incredulus caelestis visionis,
20 sed his, qui sunt Damasci primum et Hierosolymis, et in omnem regionem Iudaeae et gentibus annuntiabam, ut paenitentiam agerent et converterentur ad Deum digna paenitentiae opera facientes.
21 Hac ex causa me Iudaei, cum essem in templo comprehensum, tentabant interficere.
22 Auxilium igitur assecutus a Deo usque in hodiernum diem sto testificans minori atque maiori, nihil extra dicens quam ea, quae Prophetae sunt locuti futura esse et Moyses:
23 si passibilis Christus, si primus ex resurrectione mortuorum lumen annuntiaturus est populo et gentibus".
24 Sic autem eo rationem reddente, Festus magna voce dixit: "Insanis, Paule; multae te litterae ad insaniam convertunt!".
25 At Paulus: "Non insanio, inquit, optime Feste, sed veritatis et sobrietatis verba eloquor.
26 Scit enim de his rex, ad quem et audenter loquor; latere enim eum nihil horum arbitror, neque enim in angulo hoc gestum est.
27 Credis, rex Agrippa, Prophetis? Scio quia credis".
28 Agrippa autem ad Paulum: "In modico suades me Christianum fieri!".
29 Et Paulus: "Optarem apud Deum et in modico et in magno non tantum te sed et omnes hos, qui audiunt me hodie, fieri tales, qualis et ego sum, exceptis vinculis his!".
30 Et exsurrexit rex et praeses et Berenice et qui assidebant eis;
31 et cum secessissent, loquebantur ad invicem dicentes: "Nihil morte aut vinculis dignum quid facit homo iste".
32 Agrippa autem Festo dixit: "Dimitti poterat homo hic, si non appellasset Caesarem".
King James Version
1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

I am planning a 14 day trip to Europe excluding arrival/departure dates: Rome (3 days) , Florence (2 days), Venice (1 day), Paris (3 days) and London or Amsterdam depending on the most logical route via train and would like some input! I've come across multiple options such as Eurail or RailEurope and don't really know what the difference is between all these train options. Also, are those trains better to travel between countries and travel within Italy using another train option? Would a global pass or select pass be useful between the 3 different countries? But how do I get around in Italy between Rome, Venice, and Florence?
Thank you all in advance! My first time traveling to Europe and I overwhelmed.

Traveling by train
I am planning a 14 day trip to Europe excluding arrival/departure dates: Rome (3 days) , Florence (2 days), Venice (1 day), Paris (3 days) and London or Amsterdam depending on the most logical route via train and would like some input! I've come across multiple options such as Eurail or RailEurope and don't really know what the difference is between all these train options.

This is a good place to start:
Read it thoroughly and you'll have a very good introduction as well as learning how to buy your tickets. Any sort of pass is unlikely to be a good idea. Buy tickets directly, as you'll learn on the site, rather than through either of the agencies you mention. You'll pay much more and have much less choice if you ignore this warning.
Have fun!

I think the marketing muscles of cost added ticket resellers have gotten your attention pretty well.
The seat61 is the most comprehensive material on this subject not (yet) tainted by marketing interests.
If this is too much reading and want to quickly grasp what trains are available, use www.bahn.com and plug in all the key destination combinations. Just use the same day of the week next week. The schedule don't change much and the actual schedule for summer and later and not yet published. What you need is a grasp of the travel time and www.bahn.com gives you this quickly. What you quickly find out is connecting anywhere Italy to Paris or Amsterdam is one agonizingly long journey. Once you figure out logical connections, you can get the web site names of the actual operators to buy tickets instead of using cost added resellers who don't pass discount offers to the buyers.

How does Switzerland fit into this?
It would be a little easier to understand your itinerary if you listed it by each day. For example,
Day 1. Arrive Rome.
Day 2. Rome
Day 3. Rome
day 4. Rome
Day 5. Train to Florence (90 mins. plus time at each end checking out of/into hotels, getting to/from train stations)
Day 6. Florence
Day 7. Train to Venice (2+ hrs. plus time as mentioned above)
Day 8. Venice
Day 9. Venice to Paris (11+ hrs. by train)
Day 10. Paris
Day 11. Paris
Day 12. Paris
Day 13. Paris to London or Amsterdam
Day 14. London or Amsterdam
Day 15. London or Amsterdam
Day 16. Fly home
It's the same trains regardless of how you buy the tickets. You need to price out the point-to-point tickets, taking into account any advance-purchase discounts, and then compare to the costs of various passes.
I hope you're buying an "open-jaw" airline ticket into Rome and out of London or Amsterdam. You may also find it cheaper (and definitely faster) to fly from Venice to Paris.
Lastly, decide what you want to see everywhere and be sure you're spending enough time in each place to see what you want to see. IMO, your time in Florence and Venice is too short for a first-time visitor. (Make sure the things you want to see in Florence are open on the days you're there.) In crowded, hot summer months, the pace of your itinerary could be too fast to be enjoyable.
If it were my trip, I'd definitely skip London/Amsterdam. I'd probably skip Paris too and just spend the 2 weeks in Italy, but this is your trip.

To explain the European train system and passes which offhand you do not seem to merit one or could realize the benefit of one with your itinerary - anyway check out these superb info-filled sites: www.ricksteves.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com and www.seat61.com - the latter with good info on discounted tickets you can book online if you book far enough in advance and are fine with non-cjhanbgeable non-refundable ducats.
www.trenitalia.com for Italian trains
and those to France
or possible for France: www.voyages-sncf.com or www.capitaine.com
and www.eurostar.com for trains to London or www.thalys.com for trains Paris to Amsterdam.
If London I'd put a day or two more in. Booking early on Eurostar or Thalys can save a lot - a whole lot like a hundred bucks or so over just showing up and buying a full-fare ticket.

I suggest that you think in terms of how many nights you'll spend in each place, and consider that the number of days you'll have there is one less than the number of nights. In other words, if you spend three nights in Paris, you'll have only one full day there, because the day before and the day after will be travel days. Even for relatively short trips, like Rome to Florence, the travel will take up a good part of the day, between packing up, checking out of the hotel, getting to the train station (half an hour before departure to make sure you find your track, and to allow for the unexpected), the trip itself, getting to the hotel, checking in, and unpacking. At the very least, even if you have an afternoon free on arrival, you'll immediately have to get something to eat, which means getting oriented to a new city, and you'll probably be tired from all petty annoyances of travel.
I always keep in mind that every destination I add to an itinerary robs me of one day of my trip.
Some people think they'll spend the "final" day in a city doing a bit of last-minute sightseeing, but in reality you have to check out of the hotel fairly early, which means you have to leave your luggage somewhere (maybe at the hotel) and then go back and pick it up, adding another half hour at least to the travel time. I always find I just want to get it over with and get to the next destination.
Getting down to specifics, if three days in Rome and Paris really means three nights, you're not allowing enough time for those two cities. They're big cities with dozens of things to see. If you do a forced march through the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and a few other "must-sees", you'll really have missed the best of Rome, which is the experience of BEING in Rome. The same is true of Paris. If you decide to add London, the same is true there. Florence and Venice are smaller cities and can be "seen" in less time, but they won't be experienced. And if you want to visit more than one of the museums of Florence, you'd better add one night for each two museums, counting the famous art churches as half a museum. People who love Renaissance art could easily spend a whole week in Florence and wish they had more time.
I would suggest dropping the idea of another destination and adding at least one night to each of Rome and Paris.
Now my sermon is over.
To get between Rome, Florence, and Venice, there is a choice of two train services. Both offer excellent discounts if you reserve your ticket well in advance, with the best prices popping up four months in advance. Schedules change twice a year, in early June and early December, and often the new schedules are posted rather late, so four months is too far ahead for trips just after the schedule change. The two companies are:
Both offer fast, comfortable trains between the three cities. In Rome, none of the Italo trains leaves from the main central Termini station, so that may be a consideration, depending on where your hotel is. On both sites, you need to use the Italian names of the three cities: Roma, Firenze, and Venezia.
For Trenitalia, there is a US site that offers tickets at approximately the same price as the Italian site, including the discounts. Some people find this easier to use and don't mind paying the extra delivery fee.
However, do compare the prices with the official Italian Trenitalia site, to be sure that they both are offering the same discounts. It's possible that the official site is more up to date.

There's an overnight train connecting Venice and Paris.

Traveling by train
Posted by: Aurora005 on Jan 8, 14 at 4:20pm Posted in: Europe
I am planning a 14 day trip to Europe excluding arrival/departure dates: Rome (3 days) , Florence (2 days), Venice (1 day), Paris (3 days) and London or Amsterdam
That is a lot of turf for two weeks. Maybe you should cut the outliers and do only R, F, and P, or just stick to Italy. For a train newbie you can learn a bit from this illustrated introduction http://tinyurl.com/mzch4xb. Also, consider a night train from F or V to P. You'll save a day and a night in a hotel.
Report Abuse
Eurail and RailEurope are sites that sell passes. A pass is not good on the overnight train or Italo nor does it include the supplements for most of the trains you would be using (10€ per person on the fast trains in Italy).
14 days is about enough time to see what you listed for Italy. You really don't have time for other countries.
Report Abuse
There is no railpass that would be viable for you since as kybourbon says it won't pass on the overnight train to Paris nor are Eurails valid on Eurostar trains to London.
do buy Italian and Eurostar tickets as far in advance as possible however to save money.

Thank you everyone. After contacting several travel agencies/etc I really appreciate the feedback.

Unanswered: Query Help!
Hey Guys,
Thank you in advance!
But I am trying to write a query to figure out how much time we actually take on a project overall based on the number of total number of Qs.
I have writing the following query to do the just that:
SELECT CBT.[Project Title], Sum(CBT.[Time Take]) AS [Total Time Taken], Max(GlobalPipe.[# Qs]) AS [Total Qs], Max(GlobalPipe.[# Qs]) AS [Total Qs] / Sum(CBT.[Time Take]) AS [Total Time Taken] AS [Time Per Question] FROM CBT INNER JOIN GlobalPipe ON (CBT.[Project Title]=GlobalPipe.[CBT Name]) AND (CBT.[Writer Name]=GlobalPipe.[Writer 1]) AND (CBT.Region=GlobalPipe.Region) GROUP BY CBT.[Project Title];
Thank you again!

well to tell us what isn't working might be a good starting point
bearing in mind we don't know how your tables are designed and what they relate to
we also don't know why your query isn't working, and we cant find out for ourselvesd because there is no test data.
unfortunately my crystal ball is being given its annual service so its kinda difficult to diagnose where you are going wrong with thisI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Captured on film, these 29 and counting "street stars" were selected for their embodiment of New York's everyday fashion pastiche. Billi (top) was spotted in the trendy Meat Packing District on 14th Street and 9th Avenue in front of the Apple Store. Wearing stylized accessories and a charming smile, Theory's full-rimmed Hudson sunglasses in tortoise suited her retro look perfectly. Meanwhile, Traci (right) of Park Slope, Brooklyn, was stopped on Greenwich Street sporting a chic "Diana Vreeland meets Grace Kelly" ensemble. Theory's translucent Mercer style shades completed her smart fashion flair.
Each of Theory's sunglass styles are named for iconic New York City streets. The Astor, the Gansevoort, the Mercer, the Hudson and the Essex are all sunglass models paying tribute to the urban environments that inspired them.
Check out the full project, featuring each participant and their fashion story, on the Theory web site: www.theory.com.

It has been about a year since we covered a product from VuPoint Solutions. For those who aren't familiar with VuPoint Solutions, they are a company that makes digital cameras as well as devices that can convert prints and slides into digital formats.
I got a chance to see their latest model of their print photo-to-digital file converter at CES. The PC-C520-VP is a definite step up from the PS-C500-VP, as the C520 has a 2.4 inch TFT LCD color display so you can see what the photos look like before they are scanned.
The PC-C520-VP scans at a high resolution of 2592 x 1800, and uses a 5 Megapixel CMOS sensor. It uses a fixed focus and automatic color balance for 3 x 5, 4 x 6, and 5 x 7 photos. The PC-C520-VP also has an SD card reader, and a video out to connect to a big screen TV.
I definitely need the PC-520-VP, because I have boxes of old prints stored away that desperately need to be updated for the digital age. I suppose that it would take many hours, but it would be worth it to finally have all those old photos on JPEG files to manipulate or send to others.
I was told that it would take a few months for the PC-C520-VP to be available, but it should be found at many online stores and retailers like Bed, Bath, & Beyond quite soon.

How To Store Magic Mushrooms & TrufflesPublished : July 20th, 2015
Categories : Blog • Growing Cannabis • Magic Mushrooms
There are very few things more exhilarating and exciting than harvesting your first flush of magic mushrooms or truffles. To see the fruits of your labour finally pay off creates a satisfying feeling and gives you a much more personal relationship with the substance that will be taking you on your journey. However, you are not out of the woods yet.
Storing your magic mushrooms and truffles can be a tricky business if you don't know how to do it properly. It is very easy to damage them, diminishing their content, or leave them prone to decomposition. For this reason, knowing how to safely and securely store them is a must for any budding psychonaut.
Storing fresh mushrooms and truffles correctly is fairly straight forward. Both can be stored loose in a dark, cool place, such as your fridge, for up to a month. The temperature that will be required is between 2-4 degrees Celsius. It is also best to place mushrooms and truffles on unbleached kitchen paper. A fridge is an inherently moist place, and excess moisture can cause damage. By placing them on kitchen paper, most of this risk is avoided.
If a month is not long enough, then you can consider buying a food vacuum packer. Once vacuum packed, and stored in a fridge, truffles will last for up to 3 months. Mushrooms, on the other hand, first need to be properly dried in order to avoid bacterial growth.
If a very long term storage solution is required, then both magic mushrooms and truffles can be dried out and safely stored in a cool, dark and dry place for up to 2-3 years (maybe even longer). The only risks are insect infestation, and potential loss of potency due to exposure to light, moisture and heat. This works because without their moisture content, mushrooms pretty much stop decomposing.
The trick with drying both magic mushrooms and truffles for storage is not to use any heat. It is a common mistake, and often used to try and speed up the process. However, the active compounds of magic mushrooms can be quite sensitive to prolonged periods of heat, destroying them and reducing potency.
The process of drying your magic harvest first involves pre-drying them to remove any excess moisture, followed by a thorough main dry using a desiccant. This will remove all moisture available, and leave your mushrooms and truffles ready to be moved into long term storage.
You can learn how to do this in much greater detail from our handy guide. Although it doesn't talk about truffles, the same process can be used.
If drying isn't quite good enough (although it should be), you can go the extra mile and freeze your mushrooms and truffles. To do so, follow the advice above, and check out our guide to fully drying them. Both truffles and mushrooms must be fully dry before they are frozen. Once dry, simply place them in a plastic zip lock bag and put them in your freezer. Frozen mushrooms and truffles can be stored pretty much indefinitely.
IMPORTANT: Never freeze fresh magic mushrooms and truffles, this will destroy their internal cell membrane structure, greatly diminishing potency.
So there you go! Now you know how to properly store your magic mushrooms and truffles, ensuring that their integrity is maintained and that they are ready for use whenever you need them!

A couple of days ago I shared my itinerary for my travels around Asia this December. As I am travelling around the Christmas period it got me thinking about some of the gifts that would make life easier for a traveller such as me and perhaps you too. I have tried so hard to bring this down to just 10 gift ideas the traveller. Otherwise this post would never have appeared with my ever growing million and one things I would like to add. So here goes:

December Travels | 6 Countries In 3 Weeks
|Active Map below
A couple of days ago in my December Blog Highlights I hinted that I would be sharing my travel plans for December. Well, wait no more as they are all mapped out for you below. I am super excited and at the same time crazy anxious to be embarking on this trip. Why, you ask? For the last few years most of the major disasters have have seen have happened in Asia and during this time of year.
I may be a overacting a little but I am going to be in the same place on Boxing Day where the very Boxing Day Tsunami hit in 2011. The Boxing Day Tsunami happened on my birthday and this year I am where have I decided to go? Thailand! When I booked my trip I wasn't even thinking of that but shortly after, all these fears started ringing in my head....Before I continue sharing my fears and the crazy natural disasters in Asia, lets just get to my travel plans for December.
So, I will be leaving in a few days for 3 weeks of exploring. I saved some of my annual leave particularly for this holiday as I was going to be going away to Asia or South America in December and it just so happens that Asia won this time. South American adventures will have to wait a little longer for me.

Pisa Visual Diary + Tips on Exploring The City With The Leaning Tower of Pisa
Italy is by far one of my favourite countries in the world to visit. It's no coincidence that I have visited far more of Italy than any other country in the world. From Verona to Venice, from Rome to Milan and from Bergamo to Desanzano: Italy is full to the brim with opportunities and adventure like no other place. I have also visited the small towns surrounding the beautiful Lake Garda; which by the way you must visit if you haven't been too already. Each and every city offers a unique experience: the food, the smells, the ancient sites, the romance oozing out of Roman ruins and flowing out of Venetian canals; men built like Roman Gods as they whisper 'Bella raggazza' as you stroll by; who wouldn't want to tap into that? With the likes of Ryanair, Wizzair and EasyJet offering prices that will make you want to bring your sister, brother, cousin and maybe your gran too!

Travel Highlights For December
Hello December!
My goodness hasn't this year just flown by? We are in December and I am super excited to have 3 count downs this month; Christmas countdown, birthday countdown(Capricorn checking in!) and travel countdown! Whats different about this year's Christmas though is that it won't be a Christmas in London. Yes, for decades I have spent my Christmases at home with family but this year for a little birthday treat I am travelling through Asia for 20 days. I will be covering 4 countries in Asia and 2 in Europe. I will be announcing my destinations next week so stay tuned for that.
Next week I will be sharing pictures of Taj Mahal and Humayun's Tomb finally. I edited the pictures and saved them on my external hard drive and then managed to drop the hard drive a couple of time so it stopped working. My pictures together with other valuable documentation are with PC World, who for £360 are taking their sweet time to fix my hard drive. I would have thought paying that much would have bought me a quick service but it appears not. So all the pictures that I had edited from this year's trips I am now going to have to re-edit again. Shame, because I was hoping to just make quick easy posts as I had all the pictures ready but now have to do that again...
Anyway, I am excited to be spending Christmas in the sun this year, but also gutted I won't be spending it with my new baby nephew, who is just as cute as a button, when he is not screaming the place down at 2am in the morning. My sister is thanking her lucky stars his sleeping patterns are starting to normalise.
So what are your Christmas plans this year, travelling, heading back home from travels or just chilling at home from a busy year?

We are excited to announce we are now carrying pink and yellow Moissanite jewelry! But we also wanted to share about a few of the different styles we have available.
First…what is Moissanite? Here is a little blurb, straight from it's creator!
Classic Moissanite™ is the world's most brilliant gem®. Inspired by the beauty and fire of natural moissanite, discovered over a century ago in an ancient meteorite by Dr. Henri Moissan, Charles & Colvard® patented an ethical process for growing gem-quality Moissanite. More brilliant than a diamond at a fraction of the cost, more durable than a sapphire, ruby, or emerald, nothing compares to or outshines Charles & Colvard Created Moissanite®.
Now, the fun stuff! Let's look at jewelry!
As I mentioned, we are now carrying colored Moissanite. Below is the pink and it's gorgeous! It's a cushion cut stone with a halo of white Moissanite stones!
These are yellow gold Moissanite earrings. I love the bezel set studs, very classy and fun!
Last but not least, the solitaire pendant! This is a 1 carat white gold and Moissanite pendant necklace that would look fabulous on anyone!
I tell people all the time, that the pictures do not do Moissanite justice. I know with a lot of things you can buy online, the picture often looks better. Not so with Moissanite. The true beauty somehow can't be captured in an image.
Check out our entire Moissanite collection! Do you have a favorite?

Leisure Lodge Moshi.. Mar 08, 2011
I stayed here in the first week of March 2011.It was part of the tour package of my Kilimanjaro trek,so I didn't 'find/search' for it myself.It is very close to the Bus Terminal and the Hindu Temple.It is a neat single storey accomodation though,and a reasonably fair deal for backpackers I would say.It is CLEAN and tidy,which impressed me..and had no characteristic stink/odour.It has average sized rooms,each with a mosquito net over the double bed.The room toilets are in good shape as well and have both hot/cold water running in good shape.The airconditioning works fine..though one of its room had water dripping from the AC(its vent was probably blocked!),and I had to sleep on the other side of the bed to avoid getting wet!I mad a complaint though and hope they have got it fixed.They serve free breakfast which includes boiled eggs,bread,jam,butter,tea/coffee.Its internet service is slow though and the staff didn't know how to get me through with an International telephone call to Kenya.But one of them was kind enough to let me use his cell phone free of cost for my call!The staff understands just very basic English.It has a laundry service.It has all possible things a tourist would need in its very close neighbourhood,so that isn't a problem at all.Gladys Adventure & Safaris is just a few steps away and that place hires all sorts of good hiking/trekking equipment at reasonable rates.Overall I would say that for a good night stretching of the back..it is good.Tel.No:0715107376,0753107376.

Azazil, a project I was assigned to complete in less than 2 months time. It was suppose to be a short film for the studio I used to work in. However the video project was not completed in the end. However, I was assigned with another job which is to make the character into a poster for recruitment purposes. The character was designed, modeled, sculpted and textured by me. I was assisted by a junior during the modeling stage. It took me 5 days to finish the poster. Hope you guys will like this character as much as I love making him.
Thank You!

Speaking of Natalie and Nate (the Hissins), I want to publicly say on my blog that you two are amazing. I won't share all of the reasons you are so amazing for two reasons: Natalie might pee her pants from embarrassment, and I won't steal your reward in Heaven by giving it to you here (see Matthew ch 6). But I do want you to see in front of everyone that I am so incredibly grateful to you two for all you have done for Sean and Levi and me. You have blessed our family beyond belief. If you aren't friends with Nate and Natalie, you should be :)
Here's a video of Levi saying thank you to the Hissins.
In case you can't understand him, the first think he says is Nate, and then you can probably hear me telling him the rest. :)

Today the Games Convention 2006 kicked
off in Leipzig, Germany – well at least for members of the press.
Games Convention is the largest computer games exhibition in Europe
and after the downscaling of E3 probably the biggest in the world. This year about 150.000 visitors are expected, up from 136.000 last year.
You need to know that Games Convention
(GC) is fundamentally different in comparison to E3. While I've never
been to E3 myself, I know that it was restricted to professional
visitors, while GC is open for everybody. This year any visitor may
come from August 24th till 27th and check out
the latest, soon to be released games. Sometimes you even have the
chance to talk to developers.
For developers, a special event called
GC Developers Conference (GCDC) already started a few days ago. It
includes presentations of famous developers from all over the world
including Bill Roper and Peter Molyneux.
As with any gaming-related event, some
hardware vendors are also present. On E3 ATI and NVIDIA often preview
their latest technology with the newest games, not commercially
available at that time. At GC they also have to chance to reach
possible customers. This year however, I noticed that hardware
companies scaled down their presence significantly. I can't name
specific examples here, but you notice when only half of the
companies which had a booth last year, have one on GC 2006.
Other companies are trying to find
partners in order to save booth costs and those partners might be
partnering with someone else too...I think you get the picture.
Still, I will try to find out a few new tidbits in various hardware
categories and of course some new directions in game development. If
there is anything newsworthy, I'll keep you posted. The more
standard-stories can be read in German on K-Hardware, which I'm
writing for.

The United States on Friday faced a barrage of calls from its diplomatic foes on Friday to halt or investigate allegations of torture, during its first review in the UN Human Rights Council.
There were also widespread calls for a halt to the death penalty and trenchant criticism of Washington's recent human rights record during wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the detention and interrogation of terror suspects.
It prompted a sharp defence from senior US officials at the 47 member Council, although they acknowledged that they "were not satisfied with the status quo.
"Let there be no doubt, the United States does not and will not torture," said State Department legal adviser Harold Koh.
Cuban ambassador Rodolfo Reyes Rodriguez called on the United States to "halt war crimes and the killing of civilians," while Venezuela's German Mundarain Hernandez recommended that Washington "put to trial those responsible for victims of torture" and interrogations
China and Russia acknowledged progress in health and education, as well as attempts to tackle what the Russian ambassador called the "more odious" human rights violations during conflicts.
But they both called for the swift closure of terror detention centres, while Russia recommended "a careful investigation of the facts in the use of torture especially in Guantanamo and Bagram" air froce base in Afghanistan
The half day public debate in the UN's top human rights assembly comes just two weeks after whistleblowing website WikiLeaks published 400,000 classified US documents on the Iraq war.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that former US president George W. Bush wrote in his new memoir he personally gave the go-ahead for CIA officers to waterboard self-confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
But the session also brought some awkward domestic issues for President Barack Obama's administration into the limelight, campaigners said.
European countries, including Britain, as well as Australia recommended a moratorium or abolition of the death penalty, while France urged President Barack Obama to "honour his promise" to close Guantanamo.
"The United States is going to be on the spot over some glaring problems in its human rights record -- from the death penalty to unnecessary detention of immigrants," said Antonio Ginatta, US advocacy director at Human Rights Watch.
"This is a chance for the US to confirm its commitment to human rights by accepting the criticism and making improvements," he added.
Washington has mobilised about 30 officials for its delegation at the session headed by three assistant secretaries of state.
"We appreciate the opportunity to improve our own human rights record and we want to acknowledge up front that we do not believe our human rights record is perfect," the US ambassador to the council, Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, told journalists.
The four-yearly "Universal Periodic Review" is based on reports by the United Nations, the country concerned, as well as a summary of observations by campaign groups.
Although no action is taken, it exposes governments to questioning by their peers and especially their critics.
US ambassador Donahoe said delegation officials from Homeland Security, the Pentagon, the Justice and State departments could take part in an informal face-to-face "Town Hall" meeting organised with campaigners later on Friday.

Vontaze Burfict has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the 2016 season for repeated violations of safety-related playing rules, the NFL announced. Burfict, of course, drilled Antonio Brown late in Saturday's AFC Wild Card playoff game against the Steelers.
Burfict, a talented linebacker, has a long history of dirty plays on his resume. His late-game hit against Brown across the middle of the field, however, drew the ire of football fans everywhere and a suspension seemed to be inevitable. His agent says that he will be appealing the decision, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. Burfict has three days to formally file his appeal.
Burfict has previously been fined for safety-related violations four times in 2015, including a $50K fine for unnecessarily contacting an opponent who was out of the play in Cincinnati's Week 17 game against the Ravens. That play, which can be viewed here, saw Maxx Williams run a route in the end zone and get drilled, even though the ball was nowhere near him.
Thanks to his concussion, Brown's status is very much in jeopardy for the Steelers' Sunday showdown against the Broncos.

Hamm recognized in corn yield contest
ST. LOUIS -- Bruce Hamm of Litchfield was honored by Dekalb at the 2009 Commodity Classic for his first-place state finish in the 2008 National Corn Yield Contest, sponsored by the National Corn Growers Association.
Hamm was awarded first place in the Ridge-Till Non-Irrigated category. His winning entry was with DEKALB DKC50-44 brand.

Hamm, who has been farming for 32 years, grows corn, soybeans and wheat.

President Obama "made history," as they say, when he became the first U.S. president to mention gay rights during an inaugural speech.
Now, following in the footsteps of her peers, an 11-year-old transgender girl is praising the president for his efforts but saying we still have work to do.
"Sadie was so proud of President Obama for including the gay community in his inaugural address on Monday; however, she felt like the trans community wasn't included," her mother explained for the Huffington Post.
Here's the speech young Sadie would have given:
"The world would be a better place if everyone had the right to be themselves, including people who have a creative gender identity and expression. Transgender people are not allowed the freedom to do things everyone else does, like go to the doctor, go to school, get a job, and even make friends.
Transgender kids like me are not allowed to go to most schools because the teachers think we are different from everyone else..
When they grow up, transgender adults have a hard time getting a job because the boss thinks the customers will be scared away. Doctors are afraid of treating transgender patients because they don't know how to take care of them, and some doctors don't really want to help them. Transgender patients like me travel to other states to see a good doctor.
It would be a better world if everyone knew that transgender people have the same hopes and dreams as everyone else. We like to make friends and want to go to school. Transgender people want to get good jobs and go to doctors like they are exactly the same. It really isn't that hard to like transgender people because we are like everyone else."
A picture of the letter was first posted to TransGriot, according to HuffPo:
As Salon notes, the plight of transgender children has become increasingly mainstream. Barbara Walters recently interviewed 11-year-old "Jazz" for the second time — the first time, Jazz was just 6.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 687862
sample config file differs from documentation
Last modified: 2011-03-17 11:18:08 EDT
from man sssd-ldap
ldap_user_uid_number (string)
The LDAP attribute that corresponds to the user´s id.
Default: uidNumber
ldap_user_gid_number (string)
The LDAP attribute that corresponds to the user´s primary group id.
Default: gidNumber
This differs from the values in the example config file:
# ldap_user_uid_number = msSFU30UidNumber
# ldap_user_gid_number = msSFU30GidNumber
The example file is AD centric since the AD is currently a predominant option. I frankly do not see a bug here. The defaults are correct for a generic POSIX case but for AD you need to use the specific attributes that are given in the example.
Would you mind providing more details about why you think this is wrong otherwise we will close the bug.
This is not a bug. That line in the example config file is attempting to demonstrate how to set the UID and gid values when using an older Active Directory as opposed to a POSIX-compliant LDAP server.

Soprano Maren Weinberger is a young and exciting singing-actress, quickly becoming known for her character-committed performances in opera and musical theater.
In the winter of 2016/2017, Maren traveled with The Glimmerglass Festival to the Opéra National de Bordeaux and Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, where she made her European debut singing the Queen of El Dorado and covering Cunegonde in Francesca Zambello's production of Bernstein's Candide. Maren joined the Glimmerglass Festival as a member of the Young Artist Program in 2015, singing the Queen of El Dorado, covering Papagena in The Magic Flute and creating the roles of Siren and Bard 2 in the world premiere of Ben Moore and Kelley Rourke's youth opera Odyssey. Maren returned to Glimmerglass as a young artist in 2016 to sing Mary Warren and cover Abigail Williams in Robert Ward's The Crucible, directed by Francesca Zambello and conducted by Nicole Paiement.
Maren spent two years as a Hattie Mae Lesley Apprentice Artist at Forth Worth Opera. In her first season with Forth Worth Opera, she sang Annina in La Traviata, covered Ophélie in Thomas' Hamlet, and she participated in the 2015 new works showcase Frontiers. As a second-year Apprentice, Maren sang Berta in The Barber of Seville, Victoria Reilly in Embedded, Elena in Buried Alive and was the study-cover for Clara Harris for the world premiere of David T. Little and Royce Vavrek's JFK.
In the 2013-2014 season, Maren made her professional stage debut as Polly Peachum in Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera with Amarillo Opera, and made her New York City concert debut as a soloist in Kurt Weill on Broadway presented by the Kurt Weill Foundation at Symphony Space and directed by Richard Jay Alexander.
Maren is a proud alumna of the Seagle Music Colony Young Artist program, where she sang Miss Wordsworth in Albert Herring, Rose Maurrant in Street Scene and Peggy Swayer in 42nd Street during the 2013 summer season, and "Kate/Lilli" in Kiss Me, Kate in 2012.
While completing her M.M. at Manhattan School of Music, Maren was praised by Opera News as a "coloratura with accuracy and sweet tone" for her portrayal of La Charmeuse in Massenet's Thaïs. Maren received her B.M. from Oklahoma City University.
Maren is the recipient of a 2014 and 2016 Professional Development Grant from the Weill Foundation. In 2013, she won Second Prize in the Lotte Lenya Competition and is featured in the documentary short Singing the Story which documented the 2013 competition from the auditions through the finals. She is also a past district winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, was awarded Second Place in the Dallas Opera Guild competition, and was a finalist in the 2016 McCammon Competition.

To sell at an aboveground market, you need to produce your goods in a commercial kitchen. This is unrealistic for many of us, so the handmade homemade market is about helping to get some exposure for all of our fellow producers without the cash for a commercial kitchen. The Denver Handmade Homemade Market is an alternative market place; one that brings community together and creates another venue for a local economy. We hope that the Handmade Homemade will build community, support a local economy and bring people together to share and exchange their passion for local food, art, crafts, and music. Here you can purchase food produced in Denver locals homes and backyards.

This blog is my musings from the middle of the road on my journey of faith. The blog title is a little odd, I admit, but is inspired by the yellow lines found in the middle of roads. It serves to remind us of two important things about faith.
First, faith life is not a parking lot, where we camp out with the conclusions we've made and refuse to be moved. Instead faith life is one of constant movement and growth; for me it is a journey of following where Jesus leads.
Second, the yellow line is in the middle of the road. The middle of the road is a tough place to be. This is partly because the middle of the road is a kind of 'no-man's-land' where shots come flying in from both sides. To conservatives, moderates are liberal nut-jobs. To progressives, moderates are right-wing crazies. To both, moderates are limp-wristed, wishy-washy, and non-committal. In reality, at our best, moderates live out a worldview that admits we don't have everything all-figured-out. Moderates are not so set in our thoughts/beliefs that we are unwilling to change them. To fundamentalists, both on the left and right, that is an impossible and dangerous stance to take. To me, it is the only authentic way to live life, especially as a person of faith.
So, this blog will be my thoughts as a moderate on a journey. Here I hope to promote the idea of 'both-and' instead of the false dichotomies of 'either-or'. I'll seek a mediating approach to theology and life. Well-thought-out ideas will be considered, regardless of their source, because Truth isn't scared of a level playing field. I'll be willing to admit when I'm wrong, and I'll be willing to admit there are places where mystery is acceptable and faith might be required.
I'm also not an apologist. I'm not sure one can be convinced to follow Jesus by eloquence or persuasive words. So I will just tell you this: in following Jesus I have found a journey worth taking, and I would welcome you to take that journey, too.


text: Here is my problem my phone thinks it is connected to the charger almost all the time. It doesn't matter if I charge using computer or wall charger. Also 99% of the time my computer will say device not reconized???? I have tried different USB Cables, computers and batteries. It is also next to impossible to get the device to come back on after it thinks it is still charging after I power it down. I have tried 2.1 and 2.2 same problem also the only thing I haven't been able to try is a master clear Odin. Do you think the master clear might help? Does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be? I am thinking it is a hardware issue I hope not because ATT was sending my a replacement and during the time I was waiting I dropped my phone face down on a rock and cracked the screen and they said I need to return the replacement or be charge close to 500 bones Is there a way to replace the USB port on the phone?

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a lump sum tax that has to be paid on all property transactions in England, Wales and Northern Ireland which have a purchase price above £125,000. The tax applies to houses, flats, land and other buildings and the amount you have to pay is based on the property's value at the time of purchase.
Use our handy tool to find out how much stamp duty you will need to pay when purchasing a new property.
You'll be required to pay in stamp duty
In December 2014 the Chancellor announced major reforms to stamp duty. Prior to the change a uniform tax rate was applied to the whole purchase price - with that rate determined by the price of the property. Under the new system the amount of tax paid on a house purchase will be tiered, like income tax, with the rate varying according to the different tax thresholds covered by the property price. It means that in many cases buyers are paying less stamp duty and are avoiding the sudden jumps in stamp duty that previously took place between the price thresholds. The new rates are:
|Purchase price
of property

There is no tax on the first £125,000 for any of the properties under the new system. Add together the percentages as the property prices increase to see what the stamp duty will be; for example, a £350,000 property will generate £7,500 in stamp duty, calculated in the following way:
|£0 - £125,000
|£125,001 - £250,000
|+ £2500
|£250,001 - £350,000
|+ £5000
|Total Stamp Duty due
|= £7500
Stamp duty has to be paid within 30 days from the date of completion - when all the contracts are signed and is usually paid through your solicitor. To find out how much you would have to pay under the new system, and to compare against the previous one, use our stamp duty calculator above.
For those looking to purchase an additional property as a buy to let or second home, there will be a surcharge of 3% on each stamp duty band from April 2016.
