My accent has been variously described as: adorable, no accent at all, hard to locate, Southern, melodic, and hickish. My accent is a mixture of different locations, experiences, and languages, but these days I speak with a fairly standard American accent … most of the time. Everyone has an accent derived from his/her personal history even though our regional differences are subsiding and people are choosing to mask their accents as our society becomes more inundated with mass media and easily comprehended communication is prized.
For me, artifacts of past accents pop up intermittently via regional turns of phrase (bless your heart) or different terminology (coke) or words that are inherent to the dialect (ya'll, howdy) or downright bad grammar (had broughten). Or I elongate certain vowels (egg, wow) or pronounce silent letters (salmon) or drop the beginning 'h' (humble, Houston) or blend letters together (Louisville, New Orleans). And then there's the twang that comes out strong with the 'ir' vowel combination (wire, iron, briar). So yeah … not so standard American, eh? But who wants to be boring and standard?
Moral of the story? If you're a little kid just learning to read and you point to an unfamiliar word and think I'm saying 'fur Injun,' what I'm really saying is 'fire engine.' Sigh. Poor kid, he's never going to learn to read.

Ice Cream For The Soul
Author Unknown
Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen."
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never! "Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?" As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked. "Cross my heart."
Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already.
An Unspoken Bible
Author Unknown
His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans and no shoes. This was literally is wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He is brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright. He became a Christian recently while attending college.
Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and So Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat.
The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything. Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit and, when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet.(Although perfectly acceptable behavior at a college fellowship, trust me, this had never happened in this church before! By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick.
About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the church, an Elder is slowly making his way toward Bill. Now the Elder is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying To themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do.
How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand some college kid on the floor? It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy. The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane.
All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The minister can't even preach the sermon until the Elder does what he has to do. And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worships with him so he won't be alone.
Everyone chokes up with emotion. When the minister gains control, he says, "What I'mabout to preach, you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never forget.
Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read."

Part Four
Judah Ben-Hur trains for five years in the Palaestra in Rome and becomes the heir of the deceased Arrius. Judah goes to Antioch on state business. On the voyage, he learns that his real father's chief servant, Simonides, lives in a house in this city, and that his father's possessions had been entrusted to him. He pays a visit to the house and tells his full story to Simonides, who demands more proof. Ben-Hur replies he has no proof, but asks whether they know the fate of Judah's mother and sister. He says he knows nothing and Judah Ben-Hur leaves the house with an apology. Simonides hires his servant Malluch to spy on Judah to see if his story is true and find more information. Malluch meets and befriends Judah in the Grove of Daphne and they go to the games stadium together. There, Ben-Hur finds his old rival Messala racing one of the chariots, preparing for a tournament.
A prosperous Arab of Antioch, Sheik Ilderim, announces that he is looking for a chariot driver to race his team in the coming tournament. Judah, wanting revenge on Messala, decides to drive the sheik's chariot and defeat Messala. Meanwhile, Balthasar and his daughter Iras are sitting at a fountain in the stadium. Messala's chariot nearly hit them but Judah intervenes. Balthasar thanks Ben-Hur and presents him with a gift. Judah heads to Sheik Ilderim's tent. The servant Malluch follows him there, and along the way they talk about the Christ and Malluch relates Balthasar's story of the Magi. They realize that the man rescued at the fountain was the same Balthasar that saw the Christ's birth.
Back at Simonides' house, Esther, Simonides and Malluch talk together, and conclude that Ben-Hur is who he claims to be, and that he is on their side in the fight against Rome.
Messala realizes that Judah Ben-Hur has been adopted into a Roman home and his honor has been restored. He threatens to take revenge.
Meanwhile, Balthasar and his daughter Iras arrive at the Sheik's tent. With Judah they discuss how the Christ, approaching the age of thirty, is ready to enter public ministry. Judah takes increasing interest in the beautiful Iras.
Part Four - Chapter IV
One day I was a guest in his house in Jerusalem. A servant entered with some sliced bread on a platter. She came to me first. It was then I saw thy mother, and loved her, and took her away in my secret heart. After a while a time came when I sought the prince to make her my wife. He told me she was bond-servant forever; but if she wished, he would set her free that I might be gratified. She gave me love for love, but was happy where she was, and refused her freedom. I prayed and besought, going again and again after long intervals. She would be my wife, she all the time said, if I would become her fellow in servitude. Our father Jacob served yet other seven years for his Rachel. Could I not as much for mine? But thy mother said I must become as she, to serve forever. I came away, but went back. Look, Esther, look here."
He pulled out the lobe of his left ear.
"See you not the scar of the awl?"
"I see it," she said; "and, oh, I see how thou didst love my mother!"
"Love her, Esther! She was to me more than the Shulamite to the singing king, fairer, more spotless; a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. The master, even as I required him, took me to the judges, and back to his door, and thrust the awl through my ear into the door, and I was his servant forever.
So I won my Rachel. And was ever love like mine?"
Esther stooped and kissed him, and they were silent, thinking of the dead.
"My master was drowned at sea, the first sorrow that ever fell upon me," the merchant continued. "There was mourning in his house, and in mine here in Antioch, my abiding-place at the time.
Now, Esther, mark you! When the good prince was lost, I had risen to be his chief steward, with everything of property belonging to him in my management and control. Judge you how much he loved and trusted me! I hastened to Jerusalem to render account to the widow. She continued me in the stewardship. I applied myself with greater diligence. The business prospered, and grew year by year.
Ten years passed; then came the blow which you heard the young man tell about--the accident, as he called it, to the Procurator Gratus. The Roman gave it out an attempt to assassinate him. Under that pretext, by leave from Rome, he confiscated to his own use the immense fortune of the widow and children. Nor stopped he there.
That there might be no reversal of the judgment, he removed all the parties interested. From that dreadful day to this the family of Hur have been lost. The son, whom I had seen as a child, was sentenced to the galleys. The widow and daughter are supposed to have been buried in some of the many dungeons of Judea, which, once closed upon the doomed, are like sepulchers sealed and locked. They passed from the knowledge of men as utterly as if the sea had swallowed them unseen. We could not hear how they died--nay, not even that they were dead."
Esther's eyes were dewy with tears.
"Thy heart is good, Esther, good as thy mother's was; and I pray it have not the fate of most good hearts--to be trampled upon by the unmerciful and blind. But hearken further. I went up to Jerusalem to give help to my benefactress, and was seized at the gate of the city and carried to the sunken cells of the Tower of Antonia; why, I knew not, until Gratus himself came and demanded of me the moneys of the House of Hur, which he knew, after our Jewish custom of exchange, were subject to my draft in the different marts of the world. He required me to sign to his order. I refused. He had the houses, lands, goods,ships,and movable property of those I served; he had not their moneys.
I saw, if I kept favor in the sight of the Lord, I could rebuild their broken fortunes. I refused the tyrant's demands. He put me to torture; my will held good, and he set me free, nothing gained.
I came home and began again, in the name of Simonides of Antioch, instead of the Prince Hur of Jerusalem. Thou knowest, Esther, how I have prospered; that the increase of the millions of the prince in my hands was miraculous; thou knowest how, at the end of three years, while going up to Caesarea, I was taken and a second time tortured by Gratus to compel a confession that my goods and moneys were subject to his order of confiscation; thou knowest he failed as before.
Broken in body, I came home and found my Rachel dead of fear and grief for me. The Lord our God reigned, and I lived. From the emperor himself I bought immunity and license to trade throughout the world. To-day--praised be He who maketh the clouds his chariot and walketh upon the winds!--to-day, Esther,
that which was in my hands for stewardship is multiplied into talents sufficient to enrich a Caesar."
He lifted his head proudly; their eyes met; each read the other's thought. "What shall I with the treasure, Esther?" he asked, without lowering his gaze.
"My father," she answered, in a low voice, "did not the rightful owner call for it but now?"
Still his look did not fail.
"And thou, my child; shall I leave thee a beggar?"
"Nay, father, am not I, because I am thy child, his bond-servant? And of whom was it written, 'Strength and honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come?'"
A gleam of ineffable love lighted his face as he said, "The Lord hath been good to me in many ways; but thou, Esther, art the sovereign excellence of his favor."
He drew her to his breast and kissed her many times.
"Hear now," he said, with clearer voice--"hear now why I laughed this morning. The young man faced me the apparition of his father in comely youth. My spirit arose to salute him. I felt my trial-days were over and my labors ended. Hardly could I keep from crying out.
I longed to take him by the hand and show the balance I had earned, and say, 'Lo, 'tis all thine! and I am thy servant, ready now to be called away.' And so I would have done, Esther, so I would have done, but that moment three thoughts rushed to restrain me. I will be sure he is my master's son--such was the first thought; if he is my master's son, I will learn somewhat of his nature. Of those born to riches, bethink you, Esther, how many there are in whose hands riches are but breeding curses"--he paused, while his hands clutched, and his voice shrilled with passion--
"Esther, consider the pains I endured at the Roman's hands; nay, not Gratus's alone: the merciless wretches who did his bidding the first time and the last were Romans, and they all alike laughed to hear me scream.
Consider my broken body, and the years I have gone shorn of my stature; consider thy mother yonder in her lonely tomb, crushed of soul as I of body; consider the sorrows of my master's family if they are living, and the cruelty of their taking-off if they are dead; consider all, and, with Heaven's love about thee, tell me, daughter, shall not a hair fall or a red drop run in expiation?
Tell me not, as the preachers sometimes do--tell me not that vengeance is the Lord's. Does he not work his will harmfully as well as in love by agencies? Has he not his men of war more numerous than his prophets? Is not his the law, Eye for eye, hand for hand, foot for foot? Oh, in all these years I have dreamed of vengeance, and prayed and provided for it, and gathered patience from the growing of my store, thinking and promising, as the Lord liveth, it will one day buy me punishment of the wrong-doers?
And when, speaking of his practise with arms, the young man said it was for a nameless purpose, I named the purpose even as he spoke--vengeance! and that, Esther, that it was--the third thought which held me still and hard while his pleading lasted, and made me laugh when he was gone."
Esther caressed the faded hands, and said, as if her spirit with his were running forward to results, "He is gone. Will he come again?"
"Ay, Malluch the faithful goes with him, and will bring him back when I am ready."
"And when will that be, father?"
"Not long, not long. He thinks all his witnesses dead. There is one living who will not fail to know him, if he be indeed my master's son."
"His mother?"
"Nay, daughter, I will set the witness before him; till then let us rest the business with the Lord. I am tired. Call Abimelech."
Esther called the servant, and they returned into the house.

The Jars
Author Unknown
The preacher placed two identical jars on the table next to the pulpit. He quoted 1 Samuel 16:7 " The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
These jars came from the same factory, were made of the same materials, and can hold the same amount. But, they are different he explained.
Then he upset one, and it oozed out honey. He turned over the other, and vinegar spilled out. When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes out.
Until the jars were upset, they looked alike. The difference was within, and could not be seen. When they were upset, their contents were revealed.
Until we are upset we put on a good front. But when we are upset, we reveal our innermost thoughts, and attitudes, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
What if someone tipped you over today?
What would flow out?
Would you reveal the honey of grace, and patience, or the vinegar of anger and sarcasm?
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (Peter 4:8.)
Have a terrific day knowing that the one who upsets you may be just looking for some honey.
Power of Positive Thinking
by Norman Vincent Peale
Chapter 10 continued
Christianity teaches that in all the difficulties, problems, and circumstances of this life God is close by. We can talk to Him, lean upon Him, get help from Him, and have the inestimable benefit of His interest, support, and help.
Practically everybody believes in a general way that this is true, and many have experienced the reality of this faith.
In getting correct solutions to your problems, however, it is necessary to go a step further than believing this, for one must actually practice the idea of presence. Practice believing that God is as real and actual as your wife, or your business partner, or your closest friend.
Practice talking matters over with Him; believe that He hears and gives thought to your problem. Assume that He impresses upon your mind through consciousness the proper ideas and insights necessary to solve your problems.
Definitely believe that in these solutions there will be no error, but that you will be guided to actions according to truth which results in right outcomes.
A businessman stopped me one day following a Rotary Club meeting in a Western city at which I had made a speech. He told me that something he had read in
one of my newspaper columns had, as he put it, "completely revolutionized his attitude and saved his business."
Naturally I was interested and pleased that any little thing I had said would bring about such a splendid result.
"I had been having quite a difficult time in my business," he said. "In fact, it was beginning to be a very serious question as to whether I could save my business. A series of unfortunate circumstances together with market conditions, regulatory procedures, and dislocations to the economy of the country generally affected my line profoundly. I read this article of yours in which you advanced the idea of taking God in as a partner. I think you used the phrase, 'effect a merger with God.'
"When I first read that it seemed to me a rather 'cracked-brain idea.' How could a man on earth, a human being, take God as a partner? Besides, I had always thought of God as a vast being, so much bigger than man that I was like an insect in His sight, and yet you were saying that I should take Him as a partner. The idea seemed preposterous.
Then a friend gave me one of your books and I found similar ideas scattered all through it. You told actual life stories about people who followed this advice. They all seemed to be sensible people, but still I was unconvinced. I always had the idea that ministers are idealistic theorists, that they know nothing about business and practical affairs. So I sort of 'wrote you off,' " he said with a smile.
"However, a funny thing happened one day. I went to my office so depressed that I actually thought perhaps the best thing for me to do would be to blow my brains out and get away from all these problems which seemed completely to floor me. Then into my mind came this idea of taking God as a partner. I shut the door, sat in my chair, and put my head on my arms on the desk. I might as well confess to you that I hadn't prayed more than a dozen times in as many years.
However, I certainly did pray on this occasion. I told the Lord that I had heard this idea about taking Him in as a partner, that I wasn't actually sure what it meant, or how one did it. I told Him I was sunk, that I couldn't get any ideas except panicky ones, that I was baffled, bewildered, and very discouraged. I said, 'Lord, I can't offer You much in the way of a partnership, but please join with me and help me. I don't know how You can help me, but I want to be helped. So I now put my business, myself, my family, and my future in Your hands. Whatever You say goes. I don't even know how You are going to tell me what to do, but I am ready to hear and will follow Your advice if You will make it clear.'
"Well," he continued, "that was the prayer. After I finished praying I sat at my desk. I guess I expected something miraculous to happen, but nothing did. However, I did suddenly feel quiet and rested. I actually had a feeling of peacefulness. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred that day nor that night, but next day when I went to my office I had a brighter and happier feeling than usual. I began to feel confident that things would turn out right. It was hard to explain why I felt that way. Nothing was any different. In fact, you might even say things were a shade worse, but I was different, at least a little different.
This feeling of peacefulness stayed with me and I began to feel better. I kept praying each day and talked to God as I would to a partner. They were not church prayers—just plain man-to-man talk. Then one day in my office, all of a sudden an idea popped up in my mind. It was like toast popping up in a toaster. I said to myself, 'Well, what do you know about that?' for it was something that had never occurred to me, but I knew instantly that it was just the method to follow. Why I had never thought of it before I haven't the slightest idea. My mind was too tied up, I guess. I hadn't been functioning mentally.
"I immediately followed the hunch." Then he stopped. "No, it was no hunch, it was my partner talking to me. I immediately put this idea into operation and things began to roll. New ideas began to flow out of my mind, and despite conditions I began to get the business back on an even keel.
Now the general situation has improved considerably, and I'm out of the woods."
Then he said, "I don't know anything about preaching or about writing the kind of books you write, or any books for that matter, but let me tell you this—whenever you get a chance to talk to businessmen tell them that if they will take God as a partner in their business they will get more good ideas than they can ever use, and they can turn those ideas into assets. I don't merely mean money," he said, "although a way to get a good return on your investment, I believe, is to get God-guided ideas. But tell them that the God-partnership method is the way to get their problems solved right."
This incident is just one of many similar demonstrations of the law of Divine-human relationship working itself out in practical affairs. I cannot emphasize too strongly the effectiveness of this technique of problem solving. It has produced amazing results in the many cases coming under my observation.

Just for Laughs
About "reeding" and "righting!"
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that,
And three would be those,+
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

Our exploration of methods for normalizing the number of web application attacks sourced by each country has only considered contextual variables from external sources that characterized each country in a context devoid from Akamai, so far. This final leg of the journey will situate the attack counts within a context that is specific to Akamai and the characteristics of the attacks themselves.
Linux Kernel IP Vulnerability 2
On the week of July 15th, researcher Juha-Matti Tilli disclosed a vulnerability in the Linux kernel to the kernel maintainers, the National Cyber Security Center - Finland (NCSC-FI), CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC), and Akamai. The vulnerability, CVE-2018-5391, is a resource exhaustion attack triggered by a specially crafted stream of IP datagrams that cause expensive processing within the Linux kernel. This vulnerability is similar to the Linux TCP vulnerability announced August,

I recently attended Thotcon in Chicago, where I saw a presentation by Avishay Zawoznik called, "V!4GR4 BotNet: Cyber-Crime, Enlarged". It describes the processes, by a black hat, that used SQL injection to inject Viagra spam into vulnerable websites. The main takeaway was that the speaker talked about how compromised wordpress websites were used as webshells to operate the spam campaign from. I originally was under the assumption that websites were

As I mentioned a few posts back, my wife and I spent the last few days vacationing in New Orleans. In the past, I had always wondered what people did when they went on vacation and ended up getting rained on for much of their trip. Well, now I know the answer: they make do and try to enjoy themselves anyway.
Yep, we were caught out in the rain more than a few times while in the Big Easy (and enjoyed overcast skies for much of the remainder of our vacation). Nevertheless, we still had an absolute blast. We walked the French Quarter diagonally and then from side to side, toured the Garden District, rode the St. Charles Streetcar, visited an above-ground cemetary, got accosted by street performers, loitered around on Bourbon Street, and ate some delicious cajun cuisine. Sure, the rain forced us indoors a few times, but we made the most of it by catching a 3D IMAX movie and a showing of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (great flick, by the way). All in all, it turned out to be a restful and fun trip -- despite the rainy weather.
Several photos from our trip are included in the extended entry. Hover over the images for a description and click to embiggen.
I was just downloading photos from our camera before hitting the sack and couldn't resist posting this shot that Kourtney took of Jackson Square during a rain shower last night. For what it's worth, we didn't do any Photoshopping whatsoever (click the image for a larger view):
I'll have a few more tomorrow...
An antiquity spotted while visiting a museum/gift shop at Cade's Cove this weekend:
When I hear the word "roguish," names like Rhett Butler and Han Solo typically spring to mind. As it stands, I can't say that I've ever encountered any livestock that I would describe as pleasantly mischievous. Then again, I haven't spend much time around livestock.
You know, springtime in Georgia almost makes it worth suffering through the unbearably hot summers and bleak winters. Almost. Anyway, here are some shots that my wife and I took while visiting Watson Mill Bridge and Howard's Bridge this afternoon. Click the thumbnails for a larger view.
While we were out and about, Kourtney and I began to wonder why covered bridges were built in the first place. Surely the builders wouldn't have gone to all the trouble and expense of covering a bridge unless it served some purpose beyond attracting tourists a century down the road, right? Our best guess was that they were built to protect the bridge from the elements, but that doesn't seem like too serious of a concern here in Georgia. Fortunately, this page sheds a bit more light on the subject.
Naptime at Casa de Jess:
One of these days, I'll get around to posting something other than flower photos, but for now, here are a couple of shots from our trip to the state botanical garden on Wednesday (click to enlarge):
Speaking of aesthetics (and awkward segues), I'm finally taking the time to catch up with the rest of the Internet and learn CSS. That could mean a redesign for Apropos of Something at some point in the not-so-distant future. We'll see...

After stumbling across it at Mac's, I've decided to participate in the A Day in the Life: Leap Day project. That being said, I'll be adding new photos to this entry hourly (or thereabouts) throughout the day. You can click on the images for a larger view and hover over them for descriptions.
And that, my friends, was Leap Day 2004.
I just found out that Kara has joined in on the Day in the Life fun. Oddly enough, one of Kara's photos shows her viewing this site. To add an extra layer of hand-drawing-a-hand trippiness to the whole affair, here's a photo of me viewing Kara's photo of her viewing my photos:
I think I have a headache now.
The third and final installment of the "Jess Takes Photos of Toys Because He Can't Think of Anything to Write" series:
"Spidey, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Gee, I think so, Brain, but if I can stick to walls, why don't I get stuck to my own costume?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, m-hey, I'd like to introduce my latest breakthrough: the hyper-embigulated mutant rhino beetle -- with the legs and the tusk and the chitin!"

Thank goodness we own a digital camera.
As part of our ongoing quest to transform our house into a bit more livable space, my wife and I spent the better part of Isolation Day weekend painting and redecorating our bathroom. First up is the cool rug we scored at Target:
Meanwhile, here's the view of the bathroom coming in from the hallway:
For what it's worth, the shower curtain also repeats a "colored circles" pattern not entirely dissimilar from the aforementioned rug. Here's another view of the room:
We found some great junky plates (also at Target) that matched the color scheme we were going for, and that's what you see above the towel rack (two smaller plates were flanking the mirror in the previous image). Meanwhile, the framed piece is just some wrapping paper that happened to match the overall design scheme -- an idea that we more or less stole from an episode of Trading Spaces.
Finally, since he's just too cute in this photo, here's the Notorious K.I.P.:
He loves that cheeseburger. Loves it.
Just a few random photos from around the house...
You know you're a dork when you're a 26-year-old who listens to Prairie Home Companion, but you're taking it to a whole 'nuther level when you actually own PHC merchandise like the Guy Noir bobblehead pictured above.
Meanwhile, my wife and I continued our ongoing home improvement efforts over the weekend by transforming our kitchen into the bluest room ever.
Speaking of home improvement and decorating, we've also started printing and framing some of our better digital photos in recent weeks.
Finally, here's a black-and-white shot of me -- looking somewhat maniacal -- and my favorite little boy, Dexter (a.k.a. Dexy, a.k.a. D-Bear, a.k.a. D-Bot, a.k.a. Dumptruck, a.k.a. Lowercase D).
We received some really bad news from the vet about Dexter yesterday, but this picture suggests that his cuddling and posing abilities clearly aren't impaired in any way.
Not everyone can welcome a possum into his or her life, but I had an up-close-and-personal wildlife encounter of my own over the holidays. While visiting my parents in Southwest Virginia, we took a day trip to Breaks Interstate Park, the "Grand Canyon of the South" (really--it says so on their website). While we were checking out the view from a scenic overlook, we heard something rustling in the brush a little ways up the trail. We went to investigate and found two young deer foraging for food. By the point, we were within ten feet of the animals and, while one seemed a bit wary of us and kept its distance, the other actually began to approach my family. Here's a photo of the friendlier deer (click the thumbnail for a larger view):
After making sure that we weren't going to make any sudden moves, the deer walked right up to us. We cautiously petted her, and she seemed to enjoy it. Then, she began nosing around to see if we might have any food with us. All we had was a starlight mint or two, but Kourtney assured us that they were perfectly safe for deer consumption (apparently, they go over that kind of thing in vet school). So, we unwrapped a mint or two and offered them to our woodland friend, who gladly gobbled them up and continued to let us pet her.
It was then, however, that the deer attacked.
Well, she didn't so much attack as walk right up and lick the lens of our digital camera as we were trying to take a picture of her. After we finally got all the smudges off the lens (the instruction manual was surprisingly vague in terms of offering tips on how to deal with deer saliva), we got this final shot of our friend sticking her tongue out at us before she returned to the woods.
What did I learn from this experience? First, deer--even in the wild--have much softer fur than you might imagine. Second, they seem to really enjoy starlight mints. And, finally, they aren't particularly ashamed to mug for the camera if the opportunity presents itself.
As I mentioned a few entries ago, my trip to New Jersey included a brief stop in Red Bank to visit Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, the comic book shop owned by writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jersey Girl).
I swore off visiting comic shops years ago, but the Secret Stash is the home to several one-of-a-kind props, costumes, and other memorabilia from Kevin's films, and I'm a sucker for memorabilia (just point me toward a Hard Rock Cafe, and I'm there). For instance, here's a shot of the original Bluntmobile--complete with Bluntman and Chronic mannequins--from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
That's not the important part of the trip, though. While I was at the Secret Stash, I met one of the "stars" from Kevin's films.
No, no--it wasn't Ben Affleck (sigh). It was Walter Flanagan, part time actor and Kevin's longtime friend. You might remember him as the Egg Man or one of the offended customers ("Cute cat. What's his name?") in Clerks, or from his slightly more prominent recurring role as Walt the Fanboy in Mallrats, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob. When he's not busy doing bit parts in Kevin's films, Walter works behind the counter at the Secret Stash, slinging comics, posters, and t-shirts.
Seeing him there working in the store, however, raised a rather perplexing question: what is the proper reaction to meeting a D-list celebrity?
I've often seen teenage girls on TRL squealing when meeting someone like Justin Timberlake or grown men and women inexplicably crying like babies when coming face to face with Michael Jackson (of course, that could be chalked up to fear), but what do you do when you encounter a quasi-celebrity like Walter Flanagan? Tell him how much you enjoy his work? His entire filmography amounts to about three minutes of screentime. Take a picture? Over 99 percent of the population isn't going to recognize him. Ask for an autograph? "Hi, Walt! Since you're marginally more famous than I am, would you mind signing this?" Eventually, I settled for just saying "pardon me" and moving out of the way when I was standing in front of some merchandise that he needed to bring up to the counter. Somehow, that seemed like enough.
Besides, he wasn't the only celebrity there. The infamous Buddy Christ statue was in the house, too (dig that groovy lens flare).
On an unrelated note, the Secret Stash also sells action figures of Walter's fanboy character. How weird would it be to sell someone an action figure of yourself, knowing that they're going to take it home to (best case scenario) display it or (worst case scenario) play with it? Creepy.
I've been promising photos from my holiday travels, and the first set is here! These shots were all taken in and around Princeton, New Jersey--some by me and some by my wife. First up is this shot taken at a fresh fruit market in downtown Princeton (click the thumbnail for a larger image).
We liked that one so much that we already have a copy framed and hanging on the wall here in our house.
Next up is another picture from downtown Princeton, this time of a beautiful old barber pole. If you look closely at the full-size image, you can see our reflections in the metal dome on the bottom of the pole.
Finally, here's one the zillions of photos we snapped of beautiful architecture on Princeton University's campus. Sure, it's no football gargoyle, but what is?
If all goes according to plan, I should have some photos and a story or two from my visit to Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank posted tomorrow.
Kourtney is spending the week visiting her parents in New Jersey, and she just emailed me a few photos she took earlier today. First up is a shot she snapped in Princeton of, believe it or not, a football-playing gargoyle (click the thumbnail for a larger view):
I guess it's not any stranger than the Darth Vader gargoyle that perches atop the National Cathedral in Washington.
What's that you say? The gargoyle is pretty cool and all, but what you really want to see is a photo of a cabbage?
No problem!
Kourtney and I took the digital camera out for a spin today and came back with what I think are some pretty good photos. For instance, here's a shot that we took on campus (click the thumbnail for a larger image):
But, wait--there's more!
Here's a photo of a locally-famous sculpture that's located just outside of Athens:
Abbott Pattison sculpted the two-ton "Iron Horse" in 1954, and it was placed in a prominent spot on the University of Georgia campus. Students didn't exactly take a shine to the abstract sculpture, scribbling on it with paint, shoving hay into its mouth, scattering manure on the ground behind it, and finally placing a mattress under it and setting it on fire. Amidst student protests, the "Iron Horse" was eventually moved to its current location in a remote field 18 miles outside of Athens.
Finally, here's a random and somewhat creepy photo of a poster that's in our living room:
Something tells me that I need to just take the plunge and launch a photoblog.
Not to turn the site into a photoblog or anything, but I thought I'd share this shot that I snapped on campus earlier today with our new camera. Clicking the thumbnail will produce a larger image.
Flowers in December--you've gotta love Georgia.
Here's one of the better snapshots from the first set of pictures taken with our new digital camera (click the thumbnail for a larger image):
Thanks to everyone who offered their insight on choosing the right camera. In case anyone else out there is shopping for a digitial camera, we ordered through BuyDig.com and had a terrific shopping experience.

Dialogue between Subconsciousness and Superconsciousness
In order to follow the dialogue, let's imagine as follows
Human is compared to a Glass Case:
The space location the Glass Case put in is Consciousness – The external world is Unconsciousness – The ability to understand the External world of the glass case is Subconsciousness– The image of the external world reflected on the glass case is Superconsciousness.
Subconsciousness (TT): I am like the Soul of Essential Being, but normally I can not feel myself. Thus, when Anyone comes into Me, I can realize Them. At the same time, I can not feel myself because my Essential Being has never existed before. Thus, I feel starved.
Superconsciousness (ST): I am myself in the World of Unconsciousness according to the regulations in which I do not follow the roads but the Passage of Time. However, I can feel space in that Passage of Time. Meanwhile, your Essential Being follows the road as well as space in which it exists. In the journey of Time as My final destination, I meet You but do not change Myself, and we can make friends and understand each other.
TT: Oh! Why can we make friends with each other? In your opinion, I seem to be part of Superconsciousness of the others similar to Me?
ST: In my opinion, the thing I call the Passage of Time actually include several non-directional Time Rays and does not follow any "Roads". Consequently, You may catch small part of such events, and I followed such one Time Ray in order to meet You by chance in one specific location.
The external world of Your Glass Case, and the light reflection of All Things can touch Your Glass Case. You feel and are confused with the External world of the Glass Case which You have never seen before; however, You can not talk to them because they are the Lifeless Objects. Moreover, You must have something similar to My World if You want to talk to Me. I can not touch You because the light reflects into Your Glass Case. I am also the Invisible Life in the Time Rays which can go through All Things. As far as You are concerned, You can feel the Passage of Time in Your Glass Case.
I can touch All Things along with the Objects in the Passage of Time, which create the events of the World which I am part of; moreover, there are a lot of things being by my side in the Passage of Time. At the same time, You participate in Your Glass Case unless You are out of the Glass Case and go in the Passage of Time. Then, You can come into the other Glass Case anywhere.
TT: Would you like me to give You a Question? Sometimes I know that the Essential Being wakes up at midnight and howls with the strange sound. Thus, although I belong to that Essential Being, I cannot explain. Are there many Souls of lots of the other Essential Beings in Your World? Do you feel like that?
ST: The House is very visible, while the Space of the House is invisible but real. If there is no Space, where will the House and its furniture be? The House disappears, but the Space of the House or part of the vast space does not appear. Meanwhile, its Soul can exist for such a short time, which I can feel via the Absolute Time.
The lifeless Objects can not see the Space. Moreover, Living Things that look like Flies or Mosquitoes can feel Space as well as the Objects in that House and can stay as they like. Do the Flies or Mosquitoes feel Time? It is Human or Living Things with Souls that can feel the Relatively Time which is inside Your Glass Case with the limit of Materials but cannot feel Absolute Time which is accompanied by any Objects in any Spaces. Therefore, only Living Things which can be Regenerated have that ability, and I can feel like that.
What called Essential Being is that "House" itself, and You are the Soul and Vital Force of "That House". Now I can talk to You and go into "Your House" which is called Essential Being by the Body. However, the Essential Being is working hard in its Life but can not feel this story. Additionally, as the Essential Being comes back to the quiet status, You are very sensitive to Our World.
Hence, I know that I have met a lot of Souls. As far as I am concerned, I flow in Time Rays according to the regulations of the World and meet Souls out of that Essential Being. By the time I touch, Their Soul is Dissolved into our World and continues to flow.For example, I meet Your Essential Being now, and Your Essential Being can feel that Soul, making Your Essential Being so strange.
TT : In the Glass Case of the Essential Being, I realize that there are a lot of Regulations created by the Essential Beings living together. The Essential Beings in their Life seem to follow the Regulations even though they find a lot of Regulations in Unconsciousness. Nevetherless, sometimes I do not believe in such things but are ambiguous. You are in the journey of Unconsciousness, please tell me the Regulations you are following?
ST : Oh, are You just in the small Glass Case or the Essential Thing among the bigger Glasse Case which is often called Society?
The World in which I am living, regardless Your Glass Case, does not have Regulations but Laws of Time absolutely true for All Things.
They are Five Laws which Nguyễn Tất Thịnh, the Envoy of Unconsciousness sending his Soul to the know-how Glass Case, reminds You.
Additionally, The Light Ray which is visible to You is generated by an Object and can be transmitted unlimitedly in the endless Space. However, it can be hindered or reflected by another Object and can be gradually weakened. As far as You know, such Rays as X, α, β, and so on can go through the Objects blocking its way but can be refracted. As a result, The Laws which You can understand is up to such Rays but part of Laws or the Material part of the Essential Beings or Objects. As said above, I am the Invisible Life which can be Regenerated, so I can talk to You as well as can be aware of the Social Glass Case in which You exist.
TT: To your point of view, How do Souls in the World of Unconsciousness look like? Can I become a Soul?
ST: The Essential Beings are the Living Objects and have Magnetic Field, Electric Field, and Vital Field. Such these Fields are limited by the Physical abilities of each Essential Thing, are controlled by Your small Space, and cannot be out of the Social Glass Case. In addition, there is the existence of Thought Field. Only when the Thought Field of the Essential Being can generate well, it can come out of its Glass Case and the Social Glass Case and is kept in Unconsciousness. Then, it can flow in any Passage of Time and becomes Superconscious as for the other Glasse Case.
Within Our story, You can count minutes in Your Social Glass Case, but the Material Cells of Your Essential Beings cannot feel Time. It is You who can feel ambiguous in the Glass Case and surrouding any Space. Thus, everything is relative! I stay here by the Absolute Time Rays and the External Space and talk to You. On the other hand, Time Rays go through and feel You as touching You. Now they are in any remote Space where I can talk to another Glass Case.
The Living Essential Being looks like a Glass Case, so You are Soul part of that Glass Case. Nevertheless, if You brings the Spirit of the Essential Being out of the Glass Cases of the Essential Being and the Social Glass Case, similar to me, they can be dissolved into the Absolute Time Rays. Besides, they are visible in the Glass Case and are similar to You who can talk to the other Glass Cases anytime and anywhere.
TT: Superconsciousness please let me go with You…
ST: You cannot follow Me because the Essential Being keeps you. However, lots of Glass Case can self light up strong enough by Thought of Field and can come out of the Glass Case as well as the Social Glass Case in order to follow the Absolute Passage of Time.
Once again, there are Five absolute Laws in the Passage of Time, so You have to help the Essential Being to obey these Five Laws in Your Glass Case along with the Social Glass Case in the way it can light up. In other words, the Material of the Essential Being can be burnt. Otherwise, You can gradually become the Dark Material Part. Thus, any Object from the Unconscious World crashes into Your Glass Case and breaks it, You also the Soul part can stay for such a short time. Then, Your Material Essential Being disappears without any trace in the Social Glass Case. Hence, not only I but also any Absolute Time Rasy can meet You in the World of Unconsciousness.

With the odd-even trial in Delhi only three days away, Ola has today announced the launch of a new feature - 'CarPool'. This feature will allow citizens in Delhi to pool rides using their private cars through the Ola app. With CarPool, users in Delhi will be able to take advantage of Ola's route matching algorithms to pool rides in their car with fellow passengers looking to travel in the same route. CarPool on the Ola app is voluntary and free of cost for hosts and their fellow passengers.
The Delhi government had announced a few weeks back a first of its kind experiment to implement the odd-even formula for private cars starting January 1, 2016 that is expected to curb road congestion and pollution in a significant manner.
The Friend List feature on the Ola app allows users to create a custom list by simply adding friends with their mobile phone numbers. This helps CarPool users travel with their identified friends, allowing for increased privacy.Hosts can also choose to share their ride with anyone outside of their friends.
Ola's safety features including Track your Ride, Share Ride Details, SOS, Emergency Contacts, 24x7 Customer Support and In-trip feedback are available on CarPool as well.
How will CarPool work?
CarPool will now appear as a separate category on the Ola app in Delhi-NCR, using which customers can choose to share rides in their private cars. First time hosts can register by entering their vehicle details on the Ola app and make themselves available by clicking on 'I am driving' and entering their destination. Users who want a ride can click on 'I need a ride' mentioning their drop location. The Ola app will use algorithms to match users from within a user's Friend List or anyone traveling on the same route in real time depending on the user's choice. Once additional users en-route are identified, the car owner's Ola app gets an alert with navigation to their pickup location.
Ishan Gupta, Category Head - Shared Mobility at Ola said, "CarPool is a major innovation towards building sustainable mobility for our cities at scale. CarPool will bring economy, convenience and the comfort of travelling with friends even to those who drive their own vehicles. This has potential to unlock massive idle transportation inventory in our cities, with the ease of Ola's technology that millions already use."
It is worth noting that there has been increased focus on enabling the ridesharing boom in the country. CarPool from Ola comes after its initiatives like Ola Share and Ola Shuttle. Uber had launched its ridesharing service UBERPool in Bangalore a few months back and launched it in Delhi a few days ago.
Read more about this: With 'Ola Share' and 'uberPOOL' has ride-sharing come of age in India?

Lucknam Park Hotel has a beautiful new hand-crafted kitchen... and it was made in Wiltshire!
PUBLISHED: 16:50 12 December 2012 | UPDATED: 22:29 20 February 2013
Stephen Graver is in no doubt when he is asked what the key specification was for the Lucknam Park Hotel cookery school project.
Creating a Cookery School
The kitchen
Stephen Graver is in no doubt when he is asked what the key specification was for the Lucknam Park Hotel cookery school project. It was quality, quality, quality, he confirms. Its been really exciting to be involved in such an innovative project from the bottom up, and to get to work with the team at Lucknam Park who care so much about quality, as we do, he adds.
His involvement with the cookery school first started around six months ago when a team from Lucknam Park visited his workshops at Steeple Ashton to discuss the idea of a kitchen project.Lucknam Park Hotel has a beautiful new hand-crafted kitchen... and it was made in Wiltshire!Creating a Cookery SchoolIts been great to work with the chefs at Lucknam Hywel Jones and Hrishikesh Desai on this project from the outset, working up the plans and drawings to their spec and seeing it come to fruition after a great deal of care and attention.
They were very specific about the standards and quality they wanted to see, and we have been pleased to match that expectation.
We manufactured 12 oak furniture stations, plus a chefs station, here in our workshops, as we do with every kitchen.Stephen, who has been running his workshops from Steeple Ashton for ten years, but laughs that he has been in the kitchen design business forever, says the Lucknam Park project was probably the most complicated he has ever undertaken.
We like to think we have come up with something truly unique, and it was very pleasing to see the job completed on time and getting fully road-tested at Lucknam Parks open evening when they had their first customers in, he added.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GPS 101 - Which GPS For Me' started by TRZ Charlie, Sep 11, 2010.
thus is why I like to use tracks..
Yeh but when you're doing 50mph in unknown bush riding, how on earth do you see that tiny thin line on the screen at a quick glance down whilst standing? I know the Montana shows the tracks a lot clearer and easier to read, but the Zumo 350 shows tracks as stupidly thin unreadable lines
Maybe you're going too fucking fast?
lol Australia's a big place, gotta make progress to get anywhere
Hey charlie, kinda like texas but BIGGER
I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that have had a PC hard drive go bad or other PC problems and have had to beg Garmin to let them transfer your mapsets to another PC. Well it happened to me this week and I found a Dutch dude that literally saved the day! His software lets you back up your garmin maps to an external hard drive then "restore" them to the new PC. The key here is that this software also backs up and restores the unlock code!! Was as smooth a transition as anything I have ever done. I wanted to share this with anyone having this problem so they don't have to work with the bitches at Garmin. It's the Jawa GMTK file you want. Here is the Link
This DUTCH dude has great software (don't ever call a Dutchman a German, bad move). I have used JavaWa for years when I import OSM maps from garmin.openstreetmap.nl and I want to name them to some meaningful name. JavaWa will also move maps on your hard drive. He also has some other handy GPS related utilities.
Sorry, I corrected it, no disrespect intended.
Can anyone tell me how to take COBDR routes and reverse them so it works in my Garmin 660 going north to south ? When I reverse the points using the unit reverse point tool it automatically goes to a road route in reverse.
What app are you using to reverse the track? In Basecamp on my Mac, it's a 2-click process. Takes 5 seconds. Of course, you have to do each of the six sections separately. So, call it 30 seconds total.
Montana 600: Hello I have the tracks figured out. Thanks! Now can anybody tell me how to convert from Map View to Road View when navigating routes? I seem to get the map view all the time similar to following tracks. Actually I haven't used it for routing yet, maybe it is automatic? Thanks again
That sounds like a question for the Montana thread. Suggest you post it there. Link--
Garmin Montana
When you post your question there, you might also like to clarify what you mean by "Road View" because I've never heard that term before. Not saying there is no such thing--just saying I've never heard of it.
Garmin 590 Track Width: Anyone know how to make the track line more visible on the 590? Ideally making the track width much thicker would help as would loading a black and white map.
I could really use some help!

Have a look in the Garmin 590 thread, there were a couple of posts in there showing how to do it.
I've seen references to the JaVaWa tools. The map color editor there lets you change the track width parameter, but the 590 and 595 ignore that setting. (If there is another way I'd like to know it.) I've had some success changing colors.
abandon basecamp/montana struggle and move to modern well designed apps
Apps ...such as? Suggestions?
i think the garmins appearance can be changed by "themes"
been using basecamp for a few years now..and STILL can not get use to it!

Christopher Symons and Michael Tomai were instrumental in establishing the Kappa Phi chapter of Sigma Chi at Embry-Riddle's Prescott Campus, but have since entered the fraternity's Chapter Eternal. This scholarship, in their memory, is intended to initially provide scholarship funds to active Kappa Phi chapter members.
We dedicate the scholarship to all the men and women that have committed their time and effort in the development and continued success of the Kappa Phi chapter.
By establishing a scholarship, we will be able to help Sigma Chi brothers to focus on their studies and earn their degrees at Embry-Riddle, furthering the legacy of our fraternity. As the fund grows, we hope to eventually provide scholarships to other Prescott Campus students who meet the criteria, as well as members of the Eta Iota chapter in Daytona Beach.
Christopher Symons graduated in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Science from the Prescott Campus. He entered its Chapter Eternal while returning home from Coast Guard duty in San Diego on June 26, 2008. Chris earned his chapter nickname "Choo Choo" having worked as a train operator at Disneyland.
He was committed to establishing the Kappa Phi Chapter even as he pursued his lifelong dreams of serving in the U.S. Coast Guard and flying. He accomplished both of those dreams serving as an ensign in the U.S. Coast Guard and a first officer for Piedmont Airlines.
Michael Egan Tomai is a brother from the Eta Iota chapter at Daytona Beach. He transferred to the Prescott Campus and played a critical role in establishing the Kappa Phi chapter. He led the founding members of Kappa Phi through its first initiation in the fall semester of 2005 when the chapter earned its charter.
That same year, Mike commissioned into the United States Marine Corps and served in Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2006 through 2009. After separating from the military, Michael continued to serve his country managing special operations capability research and development in the office of the Secretary of Defense's Irregular Warfare Support Program.
When an undergraduate seeks to join the chapter, he will receive a bid from the active members of the fraternity, allowing the potential member to pledge a commitment to the Sigma Chi fraternity.
The current membership of the chapter, active and alumni, is 130.
The establishment of the Kappa Phi chapter of Sigma Chi was in the Spring of 2005.
When an undergraduate member of the fraternity graduates, he may enter membership as a Life Loyal. Along with the perks of continued networking, it also gives members benefits to aid in their professional lives.
The Grand Chapter of Sigma Chi is the main legislative body of the fraternity established in Chicago, Illinois. Sigma Chi, one of the oldest fraternities in North America, was established in 1855.
When a brother of the Sigma Chi fraternity passes away, he passes from "our circle to the Chapter Eternal". Family members may allow the fraternity members to perform the White Rose ceremony in honor of the deceased.

Last Friday in Antwerp was the perfect time to wear my Topshop top for the first time. We went out for dinner and afterwards we went to the Groenplaats for some drinks. I was planning on tucking my top into my skirt on the front but because the front and back are connected on the bottom as well and the sleeves are a bit wider it looked very strange. Seeing back the photos I love how the look turned out. And yes, it was freezing cold while taking these photos, lol.
I'm wearing a Topshop top, Pull&Bear skirt, Steve Madden booties, H&M clutch, Primark necklace and ring and Swarovski studs in my ears.

November 20 starts off rocky and you need to find a way to release pent up stress and anxiety. You will feel on top of the world if you exercise, go for a walk, clean out your desk or a closet.
At work there is little information to finish a project; put it away and do something else for a bit. If you are feeling extra stress and annoyed, stay under the covers for a bit longer!.
You need to find a way to release all the pent-up stress you have been feeling lately. Relieving stress will help your mental and physical health. Make a consistent effort and take care of yourself- eat well, exercise, and take vitamins to avoid infections. Find way to avoid injuries. Try not to overwork yourself today day and calm down. Anger is not a good idea today.
Taurus, you are still feeling on top of the world and lighthearted. The moon and Mars are in your house of love and romance and you want to have fun versus more serious projects. Take the chance for pleasure today and relish an enjoyable afternoon.
Your day may get off to a very rough start today, Gemini. You have conflicting opinions and too little information to deal with. Take a deep breath and relax. You will be able to put aside these distractions and move on. Communicate with purpose. Be aware that there may be traffic jams and other delays today. Find our natural patience.
Watch for an information overload today, Cancer. Take notes at class or in meetings and try not to mix up your notes. If you are taking any type of medication do go slowly and pay attention to details, others, and in meetings.
Today is a great day to stay under the covers. But, you need to face the world and hold your head high. No matter what you have gotten yourself into remember it is what you learn that matters. Financial issues need to get resolved, and old issues with your partner may prove false. Keep your head up.
Today you will find that your relationships are energized. Try to be sensitive when responding to others. Share your ideas and thoughts with your partner, but make sure they are fully developed ideas. Try not to take offence when criticized; you will find it is not directed at you personally. You are feeling a bit frustrated and moody, be careful when talking to others. Try not to be short and abrupt, Virgo.
Spend more time alone to find out what you subconscious is trying to tell you. Avoid crowds today, Libra and find yourself avoiding loud musics and other spiritual pollutants. Choose a safe location where you can be truthful without causing harm.
Help make your home more emotionally intense. Hang out with those you love and have a special fondness for. Avoid those who are not of your kind. Share dreams and ideas and bring laughter and pleasure to you and yours. Children's interest are prominent today; have a great time playing in the park Scorpio.
Focus today, Sagittarius. You may have to stand up forcefully to get your ideas heard. Tsake a deep breath and relax, meditate quietly and quickly before speaking. Emotional Moon will insist that you be highly diplomatic today, Sagittarius.
Today is a carbon copy of yesterday, Capricorn. Keep being open to new loves, new cultures, and find a way to correspond with in-laws and those far away. If you are single, find someone who you have not talked to in a while and make amends. You will find a great deal of energy in something new.
Go to the bookstore or the library and find books on philosophy and psychology. Today is a good day to increase your knowledge of both of these subjects. You may find that in the very near future you need to know what you are talking about. Open up your brain Acquarius; you will find it exciting.
Speak up and take charge of yourself! Don't be a floor mat. Clear the air between you and your partner, but choose your words carefully. Decepton may be in the air since Mercury is under cosmic pressure.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Three teenagers at two high schools in the Southern California city of Rancho Cucamonga have been arrested on suspicion of making threats on social media to shoot other students, authorities said on Wednesday.
Two 14-year-old students at Los Osos High School were arrested on Monday for investigation of conspiracy to commit murder after rumors of a threatened campus shooting, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
"All students interviewed continued to point their fingers at each other, stating they heard it from the other one," a sheriff's press statement said.
The investigation, which included looking at students' phones, narrowed it down to the two teens, a boy and a girl who were not publicly identified because of their age, the department said. The youths were booked into juvenile hall. Officials declined to give further details.
Separately, an 18-year-old student at another Rancho Cucamonga high school, Andrew Riccardi, was arrested on Monday on campus in front of his classmates on suspicion of posting a Twitter threat, the sheriff's department said.
The tweet included a photo of him holding what appeared to be a real gun at school, according to sheriff's officials.
Although Riccardi said the gun was a replica, the principal "felt it was a credible threat and feared for the other students' safety," the sheriff's department said.
A search of Riccardi's room at home turned up no gun, but inside his car were two large knives, the sheriff's department said. Riccardi was arrested for investigation of possessing weapons at school.
Court dates were pending. It was not immediately known whether any of the three teens had lawyers.

Very early this morning central Oklahoma was hit by three small earthquakes -- the largest of which registered at 4.7 in magnitude, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Luckily, no injuries or significant damage were reported. But that hasn't stopped the good people of Oklahoma -- as well as people in the surrounding Midwest states of Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri -- from acting like they just survived the natural disaster of the century. Check out how they're all making a big deal out of, well, nothing ..
Here's an Oklahoma police department dispatcher describing what the shaking felt like:
Oh, man. I've never felt anything like that in my life. It was the scariest thing. I had a police officer just come in and sit down and all the sudden the walls started shaking and the windows were rattling. It felt like the roof was going to come off the police department.
The "scariest thing?" Is he being for real? Over the summer in New York, I was lucky to survive a 5.8 earthquake (calmly, I might add) and let me tell you -- THAT was the scariest thing. But 4.7? C'mon, Oklahoma. That's kid's stuff.
But he's far from the only over-reacter in the Midwest. One television station reportedly received literally hundreds of emails from people who felt the quake And, if you listen to the news report in the clip below, you will hear the meteorologist go on and on about all the "damage" the earthquakes did including dry wall cracks, objects on shelves being knocked around and -- dear god no! -- picture frames falling off the walls. I wouldn't be surprised if these wimpy Midwesterners compiled their own collection of stunning photos of the earthquake's damage.
Of course, earthquakes in Oklahoma is sort of freak natural disaster, but that doesn't mean the people in Oklahoma need to completely freak out.
Did you feel the Oklahoma earthquake?

Just like a recent savings example we shared, we think the image to the right is exactly how the man felt when he was told by a DIS revenue cycle management associate that with his health insurance coverage and deductible, we were going to save him over 20% on an MRI exam.
Unfortunately, his physician referred him to a local hospital. Upon conferring with the hospital, he found out that the fee for the MRI was going to be steep. Fortunately, he did the right thing.
He inquired to Diagnostic Imaging Services about the type of exam needed and the fee that would be his responsibility to pay.
The details
For this savings story, this man received a recommendation to have an MRI of the lower extremity, specifically his knee joint, without the use of a contrast dye. This is a common exam we perform daily on MRI systems throughout DIS.
We got to work on obtaining his information regarding his health insurance and performing a verification of his benefits. After the research and number crunching, we delivered him the great news:
His MRI was going to be over $200 less!
We reiterate an important point. He is not skimping on quality of care or technology by choosing Diagnostic Imaging Services over the hospital. There is no special equipment or MRI at a hospital that does a superior job of imaging a joint. The results get back to the medical provider typically within one business day, often sooner.
In the area of MRI and advanced imaging, We will once again deliver on the medical and financial sides of health care.
Choose independent and save money
The savings we are describing is just on the MRI test itself. Most, if not all, hospitals, also charge separately for the radiology reading and interpretation services. It's an extra "gotcha!" that most people do not anticipate.
Kudos to this man for taking the time and initiative to explore beyond the hospital recommendation. When not an emergency or urgent situation, choose independent medical providers and you'll most often save large bundles of cash.
Who doesn't like that! Choose Diagnostic Imaging Services: doctor trusted and patient preferred.

Having a regular service and maintenance contract in place for your fire equipment is essential for ensuring your system works when you need it most – in an emergency. Preventative inspections identify potential problems before they occur and can be supported with a rapid, prioritised response if required.
Peace of mind
You depend on your fire and security systems to provide the earliest warning of fire or a security breach for your staff and visitors. So it makes sense that your systems are kept in optimum condition, with 24/7 emergency cover that you can always count on if needed.
Save money
Regular servicing will ensure your system works longer and results in lower system downtime. You will also save money by avoiding unscheduled call outs.
Legislation and Compliance
Current fire legislation and security industry standards including EN Standards, NSI, the Police, the Data Protection Act and Health and Safety Act require that all fire systems that fall within their remit are covered under a formal maintenance agreement.
Specifically The Fire Safety Order came into effect in October 2006 and consolidated over 100 pieces of fire legislation.
Stay covered
In the unfortunate event of a fire you will be required to prove that your fire safety equipment was fit for purpose and also regularly maintained. Failure to do so could lead to prosecution under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
Your insurance company will also usually require you to regularly maintain your security system, and if appropriate cover is not in place, then any claim may be invalid. In addition, all security systems that are linked to the Police or financed under a Lease Agreement must have a current service and maintenance contract in place.
Housing Associations
Many housing association or local council tenants don't have the time to send wardens into the properties where they have smoked devices, so we offer our clients this service.
We can offer a Daily Check or Weekly Test.
Daily Check
Inspect the panel for normal operation of the system. Where provided check that the connection of the remote manned centre is functioning correctly. Report any defect to a responsible person.
Weekly Check
Operate a trigger device (Manual Call Point or Detector) to sound the alarm, choosing alternatives on a strict rotational basis for subsequent weekly tests. Make a note of the device used and record it in the log book. If accessible, inspect batteries, generator and printer and carry out any necessary maintenance.
Between 2005-2015, the Fire Brigade attended around 100,000 incidents each year within the capital, of which just under half were false alarms.
Get in touch with us today on 0333 444 0443 to discuss how a service and maintenance contract can help your business.

Friday, July 23, 2010
Conservative MP Eleanor Laing has tabled a parliamentary Early Day Motion (EDM) to raise awareness of the work of a charity set up to protect young Asians in Britain from forced marriages and so-called "honour killings".
The Epping Forest MP tabled the EDM on Wednesday to show her support for the Freedom Charity, which aims to advise and support victims of forced marriages or honour-based violence, or those at risk.
Ms Laing said: "Freedom Charity has been established to save the lives of vulnerable children who are at risk of, or are subjected to, forced marriage under threat of mental and physical violence.
"Although most young people in the
"Some refuse to co-operate and sadly and tragically every year many are physically assaulted, threatened, forced abroad or even killed.
"By raising this issue now, I am hoping to draw attention to an issue which now affects thousands of British Asians every year, and gain support for action from my parliamentary colleagues of whatever political allegiance - this problem transcends party politics."
Founder of the new Freedom Charity, Aneeta Prem, said: "Eleanor's support is fantastic for our cause in placing this subject at the top of the political agenda at a time when many young Asians are taken abroad on the pretext of family holidays or weddings - only to find the wedding is their own and to someone they have probably never met.
"When they resist, they can be severely punished by parents, brothers, uncles or cousins and many are killed every year.
"There is also a growing awareness of the number of gay or lesbian young men and women who are forced into opposite sex marriages to hide the so-called shame of their families.
"It's time we woke up to the fact that these barbaric practices are rife in some sections of our society and need to be stamped out.
"At the very least, we want to mobilise more and more people to protest and join us in our fight.
"The EDM will hopefully attract a great deal of support from other MPs and we can start to make a real difference to people's lives.
"The EDM also called for the term 'dishonour killings' to be used officially, rather than 'honour killings'. There is no honour in killing a family member because they want to marry for love and not cultural or religious dogma."
Freedom Charity was founded by Aneeta, following her involvement with children affected by forced marriage. Working closely with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, communities and youth organisations, the charity aims to raise awareness, offer support and provide independent advice.

It aims, to complement your treatments, to untie your shoulders and relieve your pain, giving way to a feeling of lightness and well-being and helps you to gradually regain the ease of movements.
The exercises do not have cons-indications but should be performed in calm and the attention to oneself.
