Best/worse registry cleaning software?
I've got 4 (!) of these programs installed; CCleaner, Magix PC Check, Vaio Care and Auslogics registry cleaner. A bit overkill, I know, and I'm gonna uninstall 2 or 3 of them. Which one should I keep?
Someone of these programs have ****ed up my computer by deleting important registry files. That program I do not wanna keep.
Anyone got experiences with these programs and know which one is good and which one is bad?

CCleaner is probably the most praised one of the majority. Never had much problem with it myself. Mostly just use the cleaner part of it.

To be honest with you any registry cleaning software can be bad news. I would re-consider using them as Windows does a decent job of controlling the registry and you may do more harm than good.

ccleaner has recently been causing problems for my clients with nvidia graphics packages. Apparently nvidia adds intentionally blank registry entries and things can go a little screwy with them when they are removed.
I personally have abandoned automated cleaners and prefer to use them to narrow things down for me when searching for a problem entry. Not actually using them to do the cleaning though.
Under windows xp I have seen no problems with any of the major ones. However, in vista and win 7 I have seen them cause some problems. As to whether how rare or common such problems are in the grand scheme of things, I can not comment though.

I don't use and registry modifying software. I haven't seen the need to since I started using Revo Uninstaller to remove all traces of software.
Some software packages do not completely remove files or registry entries in the thought that you may want to reinstall. Revo does a deep scan to find leftover bits and removes them.
Other than that, I don't see the need to mess with the registry.

I never run registry cleaners, to me seems pointless and is a risk.

IMHO none!
Generic advice -
If you do not have knowledge of the registry, then you would probably be better off leaving it alone, and definitely not placing blind trust in a program to do the job for you.
To advise anyone that a "Registry Cleaner" works, and that it will fix or speed up their machine {or all the nonsense that is often propagated about these things} can mislead people.
Should you decide to go ahead -
Make sure you have
1.a current System Restore point created.
2.a recent "Back up" of your computer- preferably to an external HD.

One more opinion. As Airbot said earlier, CCleaner probably has the best reputation of the cleaners you have listed. I have a Vaio VPCEB47GM and the Vaio Care module provided by Sony is (supposedly) optimized for the Vaio line of computers to keep your machine running at peak performance.
I'd use CCleaner for removing temp files, etc and use the registry portion just to monitor what registry items, if any, it suggests removing. If the Vaio Care hoses your machine you should be able to get free assistance from Sony since it's their product. But as JMH said, a current restore point, and preferably a current system image, is the safest way to go before using either product.
One final thought. Windows 7 is not like XP where everything had to be tweaked for optimum performance. This latest OS seems to be able to take care of itself just fine without all those tweaks. If someone really thinks their machine has bogged down and needs tweaking, I'd suggest using a system image from when the machine was first customized by the user ... providing the user made a system image back then. If not, use the Vaio recovery partition to return your machine to factory condition, customize it, then make a "clean install" system image for future use.

(FLINT, Mich.) — An administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency has resigned amid the crisis over Flint, Michigan's toxic drinking water, the agency confirmed.
The news about Region 5 administrator Susan Hedman came Thursday, one day after Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder released all of his emails from 2014 and 2015 tied to Flint. Her resignation will take effect Feb. 1.
"EPA Region 5's focus remains solely on the restoration of Flint's drinking water," a statement from the EPA read.
Hedman oversaw regulations in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Elevated lead levels were found in the water supply in Flint after the city switched from the Detroit water line to save money in 2014 and began drawing water from the Flint River.
Improperly treated water from the Flint River allowed lead to leach into the water until the city switched back to Detroit's supply in October.

Spartan Beverages Inc. Announces its Use of Amcor Rigid Plastics' Lightweight Hot fill Containers For its Protein Water
MANCHESTER, Mich., July 26, 2010 – The industry's first all-natural protein water has been launched in lightweight hot fill containers from Amcor Rigid Plastics, significantly reducing weight and cost while offering better performance than competitive hot fill alternatives.
Amcor's new patented Active HingeTM technology is used for 16-oz PET containers for Spartan Beverages Inc., Valencia, Calif., a manufacturer of all-natural protein waters.
Spartan Beverages' 16-oz PET bottles use 40% less material and cost 20% less than competitive PET containers. The company was able to meet its sustainability commitment by choosing a lightweight, recyclable bottle that significantly reduced freight costs. All of these benefits were realized without sacrificing performance.
Spartan Beverages' all-natural protein waters contain the purest whey isolate and are free of gluten and soy. The three drinks – Spartos, Spartos Sugar Free, and Goddess – are also free of artificial colors or flavors and naturally sweetened with cane sugar or Stevia, according to Kirk Bardin, CEO of Spartan Beverages. "The attractive, lightweight containers not only offer strong environmental and cost benefits but also deliver a clean look, a nice feel, and attractive shelf appeal," explained Bardin.
Active Hinge technology incorporates a unique design that elevates hot fill (185° F) bottle options to a new level. Amcor's innovative technique makes use of horizontal hinges which exhibit vertical movement and absorb the vacuum as the liquid cools. This technology creates an attractive appearance and feel that approaches that of a straight wall container. The active hinges provide high radial stiffness and give the 31.4-g container excellent top load strength – almost 30% better than competitive hot fill bottles. In addition, the bottles are more durable, dent resistant, and exhibit strong stacking capability.
The Active Hinge bottle also significantly enhances aesthetics, according to Bardin. The metallized label fits more securely and eliminates any rippling or crinkling effect. The 38-mm-finish bottle runs on existing filling lines.
Spartos all-natural protein waters are currently sold at natural food and convenience stores on the West Coast and online.
About Spartan Beverages Inc.
Spartan Beverages Inc., Valencia, Calif., was founded in 2008 by Kirk Bardin, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley. He played college football and quickly received an education in nutrition that extended into his business life. Spartos protein waters were created to bring protein, a macronutrient essential for optimum health, to consumers in an exciting, accessible format.
Spartos protein waters redefine the protein beverage genre, offering great taste, smooth consistency, maximum function, and all-natural ingredients. For more information, call (661) 414-8747 or visit www.spartos.com.

24 E. 95th St.NYC (between Madison and Fifth avenues)
New York, NY
- 212-369-1484
- diller-quaile.org
The Diller-Quaile School of Music was founded in 1920 by pianists Angela Diller and Elizabeth Quaile. Since the School's founders believed that the capacity for understanding and creating music exists in everyone, it was essential that their music school provide a dynamic and well-rounded experience not just for select students, but for all. Together, they initiated a comprehensive approach to teaching music, correlating individual piano lessons with classes in musicianship and theory. Their purpose was to develop musically sensitive and receptive individuals who played with the eloquence that comes from understanding the structure of music, and the inner relationships of musical elements within a composition. Through inspired teaching, they would awaken in students a responsiveness to the beauty of music and to the subtleties of artistic performance.
Today, The Diller-Quaile School of Music is a thriving community music school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, comprised of the following departments: Early Childhood, Instrumental and Vocal, Adult, Teacher Training, and Outreach. Curricula emanate primarily from international folk music and classical music. Throughout the academic year, Rug Concerts, master classes, student recitals, performances by faculty and guest artists, and special events are offered. Diller-Quaile annually enrolls approximately 1,200 students of all ages. Additionally, the School's extensive Outreach Programs bring the spirit and mission of Diller-Quaile to approximately 1,000 individuals throughout New York City.
The Diller-Quaile School of Music is Accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Precollegiate Arts Schools.
Since 1920, Diller-Quaile has been developing the innate musicality in each individual, inspiring participation for a lifetime. Diller-Quaile offers Early Childhood Classes (ages 3 months-6 years); Instrument and Voice Lessons, Classes, and Ensembles; Adult Programs; and Teacher Training/Dalcroze Courses. Rug Concerts for young children, master classes, and faculty concerts occur throughout the year. Curricula emanate primarily from international folk music and classical music. The School annually enrolls 1,100 students of all ages. Fall classes begin in September; visit diller-quaile.org to apply online.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Lewis and Clark Community College standardized tests, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Lewis and Clark Community College advanced placement exam information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Lewis and Clark Community College.
For multiple-choice tests like the SAT Test or ACT Exam, look at the number of questions and the total number of minutes you're allowed. If there are more minutes than questions, you have over a minute for each. However, if there are more questions than minutes, you better scramble, as you have under a minute on each question. Round off all numbers you see, and look for tips in the test questions that point you to the correct answer. Look for word patterns in the vocabulary section, and in the math section, saving just a few seconds on each test question can lead to a much higher math score.
Exams are a huge portion of your final grade, and every professor will let you know in their own way which questions will be on the final exam. They may raise the pitch of their voice when stressing certain points, show slide presentations, or write course material on the blackboard. On the test day itself, arrive early after a good night's sleep, and pick a seat near the windows in order to get sunlight and oxygen. Trust your first instincts, and don't change your mind on a second pass. Beyond degree requirements such as Lewis and Clark Community College test preparation, you may consider Alabama Southern Community College continuing education courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

'His election is a remarkable achievement, not just for the man himself but for the common American man and woman'
Donald Trump did away with the nonsense and achieved the greatest political victory in decades
Like the weather beaten political anorak that I am, I watched every minute of CNN's election night coverage, only flipping to BBC during the ad breaks, for some unbiased coverage.
Before a single result came in, we were reliably informed that America was about to get its first female President. The reason, at least according to CNN, was that the Republican Party was already on "the wrong side of history", a phrase that always amuses me and in hindsight should have been my first clue that things may not go to CNN's plan.
"The wrong side of history" is a vacuous mantra beloved of virtue signallers. However, when you blow away the pomposity, it's essentially someone saying "I'm able to see into the future and everyone will agree with me". It's a way of avoiding debate, because in the end, there's only one opinion that matters.
Last night Donald Trump did away with this nonsense and achieved the greatest political victory in decades. Instead of getting its first female President, America put the first man to have never served in public office or the military into the White House.
Trump may have had the greatest one-man publicity machine, but given how he was the target of relentless media attacks and the victim of a nasty campaign to highlight every misdemeanour in his private life, his election is a remarkable achievement, not just for the man himself but for the common American man and woman.
Trump didn't do this alone.
He was ably assisted by a Democratic Party who contrived to put Hillary Clinton onto the ballot. Unlike Trump, most of the media ignored or down-played Clinton's dubious past and gave cursory coverage to the revealing Wikileaks emails. I was genuinely astounded by the people who said that they supported Clinton, when it was all too obvious that she was a patently unsuitable candidate. Just how many moral hoops did people have to jump through to support this unelectable woman? Thankfully we have now been spared years of another Clinton impeachment distraction.
So what lies ahead for America and the World? Given Trump's political doctrine, such as it is, the USA is likely to get its first proper attempt at immigration control. This is no bad thing and it's long overdue. Time will tell whether it comes in concrete form, but as someone who subscribes to the idea of good fences making good neighbours, I have no issue with the deportation of anyone who is illegally in a country.
Trump's other bête noire, international trade deals, will be harder to tackle, although I think we can say "au revoir" to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the E.U. This under-reported and highly dangerous deal, transferred far too much power from the accountable national governments to multi-national corporations.
Trump may also provide tax incentives for American companies to keep jobs at home. Lowering U.S. Corporation Tax levels from over 30% may hit F.D.I. into Ireland in the long-term but I suspect that China may be his first target.
Trump's belief that Europe should pay its fair share for NATO and his budding "bromance" with Vladimir Putin will certainly ring alarm bells in Brussels and Berlin and cause disquiet in Eastern Europe. It may also hasten the introduction of an E.U. army and some countries may follow Lithuania's lead in introducing conscription.
At home, the President-elect has committed to undoing "Obamacare", the one tangible legacy of the outgoing regime. Trump may be helped in this by the spiralling costs of supporting the most expensive healthcare system in the World which have already caused widespread public disquiet. However, finding a better alternative will be a challenge.
Optimistic social conservatives are hoping that appointments to the Supreme Court will reverse America's liberal abortion regime and or even the 2015 judgement that allowed same-sex marriage. However, given the age profile and apparent good health of the current Supreme Court, this optimism may be misplaced.
Anyone wanting tighter gun controls will have to work state by state, with little federal support. A lot more power may return to the states as Trump tries to undo Obama's federal over-reaching.
Hopefully Trump will not face the Washington gridlock of recent years and he should be helped by a Republican Party which will not only hold the White House, but also the Senate and House of Representatives. One can only wonder what the Republicans could have achieved if they were not on "the wrong side of history".

|My yoghurt!
I make a batch about once a month, which lasts us for the whole month. I separate each batch into about 5 or 6 sterile jars, and only crack each one open as needed, so there is never any problem with contamination in the fridge.
The taste is pretty much exactly the same as the tub-set Greek yoghurt you can buy, but varies slightly from batch to batch depending on incubation temperature and how long I have incubated it for. Sometimes it is lovely and creamy, more like sour cream, and other times it tastes exactly like store-bought Greek yoghurt. It's always delicious though!
You can eat it straight, or add a bit of jam or sugar and vanilla for flavoured yoghurt, or even use it in recipes as a replacement for sour cream (I have topped baked potatoes with it - yummy!). I've also used it half/half with milk as a replacement for buttermilk in recipes, and it has the same effect.
When I first started making yoghurt, I used David Fankhauser's instructions, and over time my method has modified slightly. He's a professor of Biology and Chemistry, so he must know what he's talking about when it comes to making food-safe bacterial cultures!! :)
Enough chatter, how do you make it?! Here's my version!
- stove top
- large pot with a lid
- medium pot
- cooking thermometer that can measure at least 40-90 degrees C.
- whisk, spoon
- enough jars to contain the volume of milk you use
- one smaller jar to save some yoghurt for the next batch
- tap water
- kitchen sink or tub
- cooler bags, esky, or other container to incubate.
- 1.5L freshly bought and unopened milk
- decent scoop (maybe 1/3 cup) of yoghurt
Sterilise jars:
Place all the jars and lids in the large pot, making sure that you can still close the lid. If not, do this in batches. For maximum sterility you should probably do the spoon which you use to scoop out the yoghurt starter as well. I don't usually bother.
Add about 2cm (3/4 inch) water in the bottom of the pot, and heat on the stove until it boils. Boil with the lid shut for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and leave the lid shut. When you are almost ready for them (I do this when the milk is cooling), remove jars from pot without touching the insides or the jars or lids - be careful as they are hot, and set aside.
|Sterilising jars.
Make Yoghurt:
Pour your milk into the medium pot, and clip the thermometer to the edge of the pot so you can monitor it throughout heating. Heat the milk slowly and stirring frequently with the whisk so it doesn't stick and burn, until it reaches 85 degrees C.
|Milk in pot with thermometer and whisk.
Meanwhile, partly fill your kitchen sink with cold water, and if you like, add ice cubes or freezer blocks to make it even colder (I do this because our cold tap is warm for most of the year).
When your milk reaches 85 degrees, take it off the heat, and sit the pot in the sink of cold water to cool it quickly. Stir it occasionally while cooling. When it gets to below 55 degrees C (this is very important so you don't overheat and kill the yoghurt starter!), remove from the cold water, and add your scoop of yoghurt. Whisk this in thoroughly, make sure it is incorporated evenly.
Pour the milk mixture into your sterile jars, and seal the lids. Work quickly so they don't cool down too much. (I always have one jar smaller than the rest, and leave this jar unopened in the fridge until I make the next batch of yoghurt to make sure I have a clean uncontaminated starter for the next batch.)
Place the sealed jars upright in a place where they will be incubated at a constant temperature. wrapped in towels inside an esky would probably work, I use a cooler bag inside another cooler bag, and place it in the sun. Place your thermometer inside with the jars, and check the temperature. I like to maintain above 40 degrees C, although down to 37 or so should be fine - it might just take a little longer to set. Seal up your incubator, and leave to sit undisturbed until it is set - I tend to leave it about 6 hours.
|Jars inside two cooler bags with thermometer.
After 6 hours, open up your esky - your yoghurt should be set solid in the jars! If not, either it needs more time (in which case the milk will have a definite smell of yoghurt by now), or something went wrong with your starter culture. My jars always end up with a thin layer of what appear to be solidified bubbles on top - this is just bubbles left over from the whisking step, so don't worry.
Take your jars of yoghurt, label with the date, and put in the fridge! The yoghurt will be nice and white in colour, and will smell deliciously like store-bought Greek yoghurt. Enjoy :)

First of all, I'd like to thank my family, friends and clients. Because without them, I wouldn't be able to blog about this. You can't blog about experiences if you don't have them. I've "tested" methods with clients... some know that, some don't :) This list shows things I'm confessing and things I'm actually kinda proud of. I'll let you decide which ones are which ...
1. My programs now are better than my programs 3 months ago. In 3 months, my programs will be better than they are now. And quite honestly, I think that's the way it should be.
2. I underestimated the power of foam rollers. I used to roll my eyes at them. I now think it can be one of the best weapons for not only recovery, but for improving your workouts. Sometimes, I look at my foam roller at home and I say, "why hello there my red cylinder friend.... make me feel better".
3. I used to underestimate a warm-up. You know the drill. Hop on the treadmill and walk for 5 minutes and then work out. What a difference experience makes. You want to kick some butt in your next workout? Try a dynamic warm-up... (think old school jumping jacks, overhead squats, bird dogs, etc., etc.) Once you start your workout, you'll find yourself "in the zone".
4. I haven't "prescribed" any variation of a crunch in like... FOREVER. But when I first started years ago, I was obsessed with stability ball crunches. Oops. Straight up? Planks are where it's at baby. Crunches are extinct in my programs until further notice.
5. The bird dog exercise looks really stupid. I'm just being honest. But WOW... it's so worth doing it in your program. Who cares what they look like. I recommend them in a heart beat now, especially in your warm-up.
6. Don't worry about doing "cardio" on your off days... Please? You'll feel you're bound to the treadmill, elliptical, bike, stairmaster, etc., etc. Simply stay active on your off days. Take your dog for a walk. Play with your kids. Play some pick-up basketball. Play some tennis. Me? I enjoy playing an intense game of hide-and-go-seek with my black lab, Charlotte. Hey, whatever works. Because if you're doing those things, then you're not on the couch watching reruns of "Friends" and eating junk.
7. I wear t-shirts and shorts to "work". I've always been so infatuated with that. I just think it rocks.
8. I have learned that doing 2 solid sets is better than a mediocre 5 sets.
9. I used to be the naive trainer that said you had to do the low-carb, 6-8 meals a day to see results. Ladies and gentlemen, that is not the case. Have people lost weight doing a low-carb diet? Of course. But that is because it fit their lifestyle. Find a sensible diet that works for you, not against you... and something you can stick with. I have seen people lose weight with the Warrior Diet, going vegan, EatStopEat and my personal favorite... eat whole natural foods 90% of the time among others. If I told you to eat salmon and cauliflower for the rest of your life and you hate salmon and cauliflower, then that diet won't work for you. Oops, I rambled.
10. I'm guilty of "prescribing" cardio early on. I didn't know any better. I was new. I haven't "prescribed" cardio now in years. Instead, I just encourage activity. For fat loss, cardio is out the door and in with intervals, metabolic conditioning and body weight movements. I compared programs and the programs with intervals kicked the pants off the programs with "cardio". So, I retired my "cardio" prescriptions.
Your fat loss journey is about learning. You try something and you put your heart and soul into it. If it works, you stick with it. If it doesn't work, you learn from it and make adjustments. You'll eventually get better and better at it. Then you can share your ideas and inspiration with someone else.
To your success,
Mike Whitfield

Formula Ford Championship - Round 10, Kyalami, Midrand. Robert Wolk (AfintaPart Mygale) and Ian Parsons (Nisa Today's Van Diemen) shared wins in the final round of the South African Formula Ford championship in round ten of the Vodacom Power...
Formula Ford Championship - Round 10, Kyalami, Midrand.
Robert Wolk (AfintaPart Mygale) and Ian Parsons (Nisa Today's Van Diemen) shared wins in the final round of the South African Formula Ford championship in round ten of the Vodacom Power Tour at Kyalami in Midrand today.
In front of a huge crowd, newly-crowned champion Wolk started the first race from pole position and went unchallenged to win by a comfortable 3 seconds.
Ford development driver Jennifer Murray (Ford Racing / Ford Credit Mygale), after two strong races in the UK recently, produced her best performance of the year to qualify in second place. She chased Wolk early on, and held a comfortable second place for most of the race before being caught and passed by David Veringa (Sabat Batteries Van Diemen) at around two-thirds distance.
Parsons, whose Van Diemen suffered from a faulty ECU robbing it of some of its top speed, also caught Murray in the final stages, before finding a way past on the last lap to clinch third place.
Leslie Reynolds (Airnet Travel Mygale) came home in a distant fifth ahead of Paulo da Cunha (DCM Lineboring Van Diemen).
Wolk withdrew from the second race, as he had to catch a flight, leaving Murray to start at the head of the field. However, it was not to be her day as her car's fuel pump failed on the warm-up lap, ending her challenge before it even began.
That left Parsons and Veringa to fight for the lead. The pair swapped positions a few times early in the race before Parsons opened up a small gap, which he held to the flag. Second place was enough to secure Veringa the runner-up position in the championship, while Parsons had to settle for third.
Jade Kruger (FAG Mygale), who finished eighth in race one, and Reynolds fought a tough duel for the entire distance, changing position on almost every lap. At the flag it was Kruger who took third ahead of Reynolds. Martin Robinson (HydroMobile Mygale) finished fifth after starting from the back of the grid, with Da Cunha taking sixth.
Ian Parsons - 1st Overall: "On the whole it was a good weekend. In the first race we had an ECU problem, which cost the car straightline speed. We fitted a new ECU for race two, and it was much better. I am glad that we showed them in the second race that we could win. It was nice to win the last race of the season and take my second overall win of the year.
"Although it has been a tough year on many fronts, I have really enjoyed racing in South Africa. I can see how easy it is to come and live here. I have made many good friends, and will remember my time here with good memories."
David Veringa - 2nd Overall: "I battled this weekend. For some reason we can't get the car's set-up right on old tyres. We did not get much practice either as we had to borrow tyres, so we only found out in qualifying that we had the wrong gear ratios. I was hoping to take a win today so I am a bit disappointed to not get that, but Ian was on a real mission in the second race. My first year in Formula Ford has been great and I am looking forward to contesting it again next year."
<pre> Championship points after round 10: 1) Robert Wolk 147 2) David Veringa 124 3) Ian Parsons 116 4) Lesley Reynolds 68 5) Martin Robinson 54 6) Brett Mayberry 44

Pressure on Zappone over childcare for average earners
Children's Minister Katherine Zappone is coming under increasing pressure to ensure her childcare plans for the Budget cover middle-income earners.
As she thrashes out the threshold at which parents become eligible for subsidised childcare with Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe, Fianna Fáil has said any measures brought in should cover a couple earning a combined €60,000.
The plan being proposed by Ms Zappone will see subsidies paid directly to creches.
A sum of €47,000 has been reported as a possible combined income threshold for parents, though the Department of Children has stressed it's just one model being looked at. While Ms Zappone is understood to be seeking to maximise the threshold she can secure, ultimately it will depend on the sum allocated by Mr Donohoe's department.
Read more: 'Middle classes must get childcare relief too'
Fianna Fáil children spokeswoman Anne Rabbitte said her party's preferred option for supporting childcare is a tax credit for parents - which she would still like the Government to consider. However, she said that a €47,000 income threshold for a subsidy "isn't enough".
"If you're a nurse and a guard . . . you're still deemed outside of it so is that really supporting middle Ireland? No, is the answer to me."
She added: "I think we certainly should be looking at €60,000 as a starting base so as we could get more people into the net."
Ms Zappone said her plan is to begin supporting low-income families who require higher subsidies but that her "ambition" is that every family will benefit from more childcare support "to some degree". She said the previously announced expansion of the free-pre-school scheme will see families save €1,500 more per year.
She was asked on Newstalk if middle income workers can look forward to relief on childcare costs in the Budget.
Ms Zappone said: "I am in negotiations with Minister Donohoe and would be hoping that . . . there will be some for them as well."
Mr Donohoe said his Department is "engaging very substantially" with Ms Zappone on the matter but declined to offer details. He said he had a "productive" meeting to discuss the Budget with Fianna Fáil's Dara Calleary on Wednesday.

My owners bought a sporty new collar for me with a shiny red bell. Since I'm an indoor kitten it's not to warn the birds, but to warn my family that I'm underfoot. I admit I like to be as close as possible to where ever one of them might be. In other news, I'm really happy in my new home. In the past month, I've doubled in size and now weigh a whopping 2.8 lbs! If my brothers and sisters could see me now they sure wouldn't be calling me "runt!" A couple of weeks ago, I traveled with my human family an entire 7 hours (each way) to visit out-of-state relatives. It was pretty exciting. Now I'm back home in my favorite spot. This one (the feet in picture above) says she's really busy with design work and I've also noticed a few sewing projects in the works.
More soon.

text: In answering someone else's question, I remembered one of my own. Last October DD and I went to the parks and went to the World of Color show that actually starts after park closing time. Anyway, after the show, as we were exiting and heading back to Disneyland, we passed by the exit that goes directly to GCH. There were probably twenty Disneyland Rental strollers there. So I guess my questions are: Are those strollers ones that people are done with for the day? I mean, after DCA clears out from WOC, you wouldn't be able to enter back in through that entrance anyway right? Also, some still had their name placards in the plastic slot and some did not. Why would that be? Lastly, and maybe most importantly, do you think it would be okay (honest) to "borrow" one of those strollers for the rest of the evening to take over to Disneyland until it closes a few hours later? I mean, if the original renter is done with it, my thinking is it's not hurting anything if I use it for a while, right? What are your thoughts?

A Russian court Tuesday unexpectedly delayed the appeal hearing for ex-oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky against his conviction in a fraud trial that aroused international condemnation.
Judge Vladimir Usov at Moscow City Court said that the appeal was adjourned until May 24 as the defence had submitted additional objections against the verdict for Khodorkovsky to stay in jail until 2017.
Khodorkovsky and his convicted business partner Platon Lebedev briefly appeared in the courtroom's cage before a packed audience of about 100 journalists and family members, an AFP correspondent said from the courtroom.
Khodorkovsky was convicted last year in a second fraud trial in a ruling which will keep him in jail until 2017.
His defence connected the sudden moving of the appeal hearing with Wednesday's press conference by President Dmitry Medvedev, his first solo public meeting with the media of his presidency.
"Dmitry Anatolyevich will be saved from unwanted questions tomorrow that would be voiced had the hearing happened today," said Khodorkovsky's lawyer Yury Shmidt.
"This is deja-vu, the same happened last winter before a well-known event," he said, clearly referring to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's national call-in session on December 16.
The Khamovnichesky District Court moved the reading of the verdict last year from December 15 to December 27, announcing the jail term just before the country plunged into extended New Year holidays.
Khodorkovsky, who built up Yukos into Russia's biggest oil firm before it was broken up by the state, was in December found guilty of money laundering and embezzlement on top of his first 2005 tax evasion conviction.
His supporters have long argued both sets of charges were trumped up by the state to punish Khodorkovsky for daring to finance opposition to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and ridiculed the circumstances of the second trial.
Putin, who has never made a secret of his dislike of Khodorkovsky, said even before the verdict was announced that a "thief should be in prison", drawing criticism that he was interfering in the process.
Khodorkovsky's sentence of 14 years means he and Lebedev will stay in jail until 2017. Defence lawyers have said the verdict is riddled with errors but have not shown much hope of having it overturned.
Judge Viktor Danilkin who read the verdict in an often inaudible three-day speed-reading session, has been alleged by his employee to have been pressured by the higher court authorities, which he has vehemently denied.
The defence says the Khamovnichesky District Court reviewed over 1,060 pages of its objections in just one day and then passed the trial to the Moscow City Court.
"If we are not heard in the Moscow City Court, we will go to the European Court of Human Rights," Lebedev's lawyer Yelena Liptser told journalists Tuesday.
Business leaders have expressed fears that the new conviction will harm investment by shaking foreigners' faith in the rule of law in Russia.

Just a week after hosting hundreds of prospects for football camp, Florida State had a top-flight offensive line recruit come in for his own unofficial visit.
The Seminoles' defensive ends coach D.J. Eliot scouted Garrett Brumfield (Baton Rouge, La./University Laboratory) during the spring and liked what he saw. Fast-forward a couple of months and Brumfield picked up the phone and planned a trip to Tallahassee.
"I contacted Coach Eliot and I was able to set up an unofficial visit last Friday," explained the 6-foot-3, 254-pound guard. "So we took a trip down to Florida -- it was about seven hours, actually. When I got there, I was able to meet with all the staff, take a tour of all the facilities, we ended up touring the locker room. Got a chance to watch the highlight tape. It was pretty good. Ended up meeting with Coach [Jimbo] Fisher in the end and he offered me in his office."
The Seminoles joined Florida, Louisiana Tech, LSU and Miami as teams who have extended an offer.
Fisher, as he does with many recruits, wanted to see Brumfield in person. Seeing that he had ability on video clips was easy, but getting to know the person in the football pads was important.
"He hadn't actually seen my film until earlier in that day," Brumfield said. "He said that he really liked my flexibility and my whole lower body -- he said I was very explosive in my lower body. He was also saying that on the film, you kind of see one guy, but me being able to come down there and see what kind of guy I was and see my character and things like that."
Brumfield did get a chance to meet with offensive line coach Rick Trickett before he had to depart for a meeting. The veteran assistant also expressed his desire for the junior offensive lineman to come to Tallahassee.
"Florida State, I was very glad I got that offer," he said. "Florida State is probably one of my, I guess you could say, favorites right now. I really enjoyed going down to Florida State. I really loved the whole experience."
Just a matter of days before the high school practices begin for yet another season, Brumfield's window of opportunity to make any more trips has closed.
This fall, though, he will try his hardest to make some unofficial visits to schools of interest.
"I will probably go to some LSU games since I go to school pretty much right on their campus," he explained. "I am pretty sure I will end up going to some LSU games. I am not sure about others, I mean, I will try to make it to some others, but I know I am going to LSU because it is right there."
In this modern era of college football, most schools have extravagant facilities and pristine practice fields to go with the best coaches in the game. The difference for Brumfield will come down to his comfort level.
"What I really like is how people really make you feel at home at some places you go to," he said. "Like when I went down to Florida, you know, I felt more at home than I do in my own city. I like that feeling."

Love at first stop: Married couple who met at bus shelter given sign by council
A MARRIED couple who met for the first time at a bus stop in Bristol have been given the sign to the shelter after the council decided to remove it.
Aly Hussien, 41, plucked up the courage to ask out Michala Stokes eight years ago after seeing her everyday on his way to work at Gloucester Road.
Mr Hussien took six months after first spotting his wife-to-be at the stop outside his bar to ask her on a date. The couple later got married three years ago.
When a friend of the couple learnt Bristol City Council were planning to remove the bus stop she got in touch with them and officials offered her the sign.
Mr Hussien said: "Every day I used to see her at the same time in the same place and really wanted to get to know her so one day I took the opportunity to say hello.
I'll never forget how we met and it's wonderful that we can keep a little bit of our history forever
"Our daily chats led to me asking her out properly. We've now been married for three years but I'll never forget how we met and it's wonderful that we can keep a little bit of our history forever."
The council agreed to hand the sign over to the council after Mrs Hussien's friend Tat Mersy wrote to them explaining how the couple had first met.
She explained in her letter that the couple would appreciate the bus stop sign as a moment of how the pair began their relationship.
She wrote: "Could you possibly find it in your hearts to gift them a small piece of the bus stop?
"I know they would be very touched at such a generous gesture from the council."
Deputy Mayor Councillor Geoffrey Gollop said that "amazing and wonderful" things can happen at bus stops.
He said: "I'm delighted that Bristol City Council with Clear Channel are able to help Aly and Michala mark the start of their romance in this way."
The couple said they plan to put the bus stop sign in their back garden.

(BW) NewMarket Technology, Inc. to Explore Recently Opened Brazilian Wi-Fi Market with Former President of Brazil, Jose Costa Sarney
Published 1:15 pm, Thursday, June 14, 2007
NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT) today announced a business Trade Mission to Brazil to explore municipal Wi-Fi opportunities in the country with national and local government officials in Sao Paulo, Curitiba and the capital Brasilia. Brazil's telecom regulator Anatel recently approved regulations to permit 5,561 Brazilian municipalities to offer Wi-Fi Internet access.
Wi-FI Trade Mission to Brazil
The trade mission, scheduled for June 15-21, 2007, has been organized by NewMarket Latin America, Inc. (OTC:NLAI) Board of Directors Member Frank A. Romanoski and Senior Vice President of Latin American Business Development for NewMarket, Jorge Miguel. The trade mission will be joined by members of NewMarket, NewMarket Latin America and RedMoon, Inc. (RedMoon Broadband).
During the Trade Mission, NewMarket will be meeting with Jose Costa Sarney, the former President of Brazil from 1985-1990. Under President Sarney a new and democratic constitution was passed in 1988, and in the following year the first direct elections since 1960 were held. Mr. Sarney is currently in the Brazilian Senate and has twice been elected Senate President in both 1995 and 2003 respectively.
Additionally, trade mission delegates will be meeting with Paulo Bernardo, Minister of Planning, Budget and Management for Brazil under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dr. Flavio Chaves, who is in charge of finance for the governor of the state of Sao Paulo. The state of Sao Paolo contributes approximately one-third of Brazil's GDP.
RedMoon Broadband Municipal Starter Kit and Brazil
Texas-based RedMoon Broadband is a leader in municipal Wi-Fi. RedMoon has designed, engineered and deployed wireless mesh network solutions providing high-speed Internet service, security surveillance, automatic water meter reading and mobile broadband for municipalities. NewMarket recently announced the acquisition of a majority interest in RedMoon Broadband. NewMarket had previously held a minority ownership.
To assist cities in rapidly launching their Wi-Fi networks, RedMoon has created a Municipal Starter Kit, conveniently bundling all that is required to build a secure 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and 4.9 GHz Public Safety HotZone including SkyPilot mesh nodes, video surveillance cameras, and a complete support system.
Additionally, RedMoon's municipal Wi-Fi infrastructure and services are also being used to support Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) technology to reduce meter reading costs, improve the accuracy of readings, support conservation efforts and raise the level of customer service. Currently RedMoon and Chevron Energy Solutions, a Unit of Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), deliver service through their SkyPilot mesh network to the 23 square mile City of Burleson, Texas, supplying an automatic water metering program to more efficiently track consumption, curb water loss and increase revenues.
Separately, NewMarket Technology and RedMoon Broadband recently announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to form a partnership with Domos, Ltd. to initiate and develop wireless broadband in Mexico. In this partnership, Domos will leverage its market experience and established infrastructure to help enhance and propel wireless broadband services in Mexico. (news)

Hyundai is adding two new variants of its Elantra model, in response to high demand for the product. At the Chicago Auto Show, the company unveiled Elantra's latest variants – a two-door sporty coupe and a shorter five-door hatch. Hyundai is positioning the two-door variant against other coupes like the Honda Civic and the Kia Forte Koup.
The front-wheel-drive Elantra Coupe is expected to produce a mileage of 40 mpg on the highway from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.
Hyundai gave the Elantra a slinky styling as well as a roomy interior to attract young buyers. Hyundai plans to market the Elantra coupe as a fun-to-drive option to a slightly different audience than the enthusiast-oriented, Genesis Coupe.
The five-door hatch version meanwhile, dubbed the GT, is targeted to replace the Elantra Touring model and is positioned against the Ford Focus, the Mazda 3 and the Volkswagen Golf.
Elantra GT carries the same powertrain choices as the coupe, and boasts of a mileage of 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. The GT offers up to 51 cubic feet of cargo capacity in the rear, with the seats folded down.
Hyundai unveiled last year a version of the GT, the i30, to target other markets in Europe. Hyundai hopes to further increase its Elantra sales this year with the introduction of the GT and Coupe versions.
The new Elantra Coupé's visually distinct and smoothly flowing design is a testament of Hyundai's renowned "Fluidic Sculpture" design principle at work. A perfect balance of fine linear protrusions and indentations provide the distinct and gracefully fluid design character of the Elantra Coupé, mimicking the action of wind as it comes in contact with solid surfaces.
Elantra Coupé uses the famous Hyundai hexagonal front grille, and together with sleek- looking headlights, provide an agile, mean and lean countenance for the car. Further enhancing the Elantra Coupé's appealing façade are its fog lights and optional repeater lamps.
The Coupé's profile radiates an aerodynamic, swept-back and sophisticated silhouette, accentuated by masterfully sculpted and perfectly proportioned flowing surfaces. The SE model variant boasts of stylish and athletic five-spoke 17-inch wheels with dark-colored spoke accents. Furthermore, the steeply angled A and C Pillars result in a substantially sloped greenhouse, in consonance with the car's aerodynamically wedged silhouette.
A distinct linear protrusion accent, located just below the car's belt line, starts from the front door and zips towards the car's rear where it intersects with the edge of the tail lights, further enhancing the Elantra Coupé's swift-looking profile. The wheel arches have also been flared out to give the car a wide, stable and agile stance together with its subtly shaped rocker panels.
Elantra Coupé's rear features an all-black diffuser valance which creates a pleasant, complementing contrast with the car's twin chrome-tipped tail pipes. Moreover, a built-in lip spoiler design is integrated in the SE variant's trunk lid to further improve the car's aerodynamics and aesthetics.
Aside from having an aesthetically appealing exterior, the Elantra Coupé's exterior design is also functional which allows the car to boast of an impressively low 0.28 Cd drag coefficient, resulting in low cabin noise and excellent fuel efficiency. The Elantra Coupé's design was conceptualized and developed at the Hyundai North American Design Center in Irvine, California.
The Elantra Coupé and the Elantra Sedan share the same 148 horsepower (estimated), 131 lb-ft torque, 1.8-liter Nu four-cylinder engine, while a slightly less powerful 145 horsepower (estimated) 130 lb-ft torque engine powers the Elantra Coupé PZEV. It is interesting to note that the Elantra's high power density 4-cylinder generates six percent more horsepower than the similar-sized Civic Coupe 1.8-liter engine. And because of Hyundai's clean engine technology, a majority of Elantra Coupés sold in Oregon, California and in various Northeastern states are certified as Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) by the EPA.
Moreover, compared to other hybrid vehicles, the PZEV Elantra Coupé ranks as one of the cleanest hybrid electric vehicles of today through the use of a simpler but equally efficient and dependable hybrid technology, aside from costing less than its competitors. Considered as Hyundai's contribution to a cleaner environment, the PZEV Elantra helps the car company comply with, if not exceed the prescribed environmental requirements of the "green" states. The PZEV Leandra is sold as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle or ULEV in the "non-green" states.

One security platform to rule them all
Each type of facility is different so it needs a different security solution – this thinking is fast fading as the benefits of a comprehensive security platform which incorporate diverse functionality, open systems and best practices become clear, says Neil Cameron, GM: Johnson Controls Building Efficiency, Systems & Service: Africa.
Among larger companies, typically multi-facility organisations and multi-nationals, the shift is already in full force. Smaller companies with multiple facilities are now exploring this trend, however, as they become increasingly aware of the opportunity that these platforms present to improve the effectiveness of security solutions, centralise security management, cut effort and costs, and introduce best practices.
Because the needs of facilities differ so broadly – consider the security needs of a corporate site versus those of an industrial or manufacturing facility – companies have in the past acquired solutions to meet individual needs. Today, however, integrated security solutions that incorporate diverse functionality are able to cater for almost any kind of site, making them suitable for use across the organisation's property portfolio. The benefits are significant.
Comprehensive platforms may include CCTV, access control, perimeter alerts, fire alarms, advanced analytics, and environmental controls (HVAC and lighting). They are highly configurable to meet the specific needs of organisations and industry sectors, have interfaces built for ease of use, and reporting capabilities designed for ease of comprehension, fast decisioning and improved management.
Built on open systems, these full features security platforms are able to hook into enterprise systems (such as Human Resources databases), and the majority of recognised security vendors' solutions. They are also able to make use of existing hardware – e.g., CCTV cameras, access control readers and controllers – allowing organisation to sweat existing investments. However, it's the greater efficiencies and advanced functionality these platforms offer that make them so attractive.
Some of the key benefits include the following:
As the cost and complexity of security management continues to increase, and external demands (such as management of energy consumption and stricter Health and Safety regulations) make themselves felt, the benefits of integrated systems with advanced functionality, open systems and global best practices become apparent. They are certainly worth exploring.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said he believes that President Barack Obama's first executive amnesty for so-called DREAMers—the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)—is "important" and he won't reverse it himself if elected president. He delivered these remarks in a Spanish-language interview he gave to Univision's Jorge Ramos.
"I believe DACA is important. It can't be terminated from one moment to the next, because there are already people benefiting from it," Rubio said in Spanish on Ramos's television program, according to an English translation provided by the media service Grabien. "But yes, it is going to have to end. It can't be the permanent policy of the United States, and I don't think that's what they're asking either. I think everyone prefers immigration reform."
Ramos followed up, according to the translation, by asking: "But then, to clarify, you would put an end to DACA once immigration reform is approved, but what would happen, Senator, if there is no immigration reform; would you cancel DACA anyway?"
Rubio answered that DACA will end only when a legislative substitute with the exact same or similar policy prescriptions—a legislative amnesty for illegal alien minors—is implemented. He also said in Spanish that, if elected president, he believes that America cannot deport illegal aliens here in the country right now, and he expects a legislative solution will be implemented that essentially has all the parts of the massively controversial "Gang of Eight" bill that he would pass piece-by-piece.

Jeremiah 23:1-29
Joe Focht
Jeremiah 23
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
