As I finished moping up the teary snot off my boyfriend's sweater I realized I had become the woman who snivels her way through a lengthy diatribe on the loss of her youth, vitality and relevance outside the kitchen. See, the problem is you visit an old friend, you get talking, you have 3 bottles of white wine each like the old days and the next day when your man comes home you're exhausted and fed up with your life. Your cells are depleted from the sugar crisis of the last 24 hours and your mind mulshed like the saw dust you lay in the night before whilst you tried to convince said old friend to get the fuck up and help you get out of an area you'd only seen on TV. See, the problem is is that your old friends remind you callously and yet hilariously at the time of what you used to be, of how the night before was every night 3 years ago for about a year and that was a sustainable and reasonable manner in which to live at that time. Old friends (the troublesome variety not the ones you used to eat tree bark with as a dare in the fields behind school...I mean the really troublesome ones that almost got you arrested a few times and probably did at least once...yea...that friend) because you have so much fun with them, the kind of fun that is dehabilitating and has you ordering pizza twice the next day and never quite summoning the energy to close your mouth after each guffaw made at a marathon session of 30 Rock. Old and well worn bad, good friends ask you aghast why you just allowed the bar man to not serve you before the cliche of a blonde next to you because 'Don't you remember? Don't you remember who you are?...who you were...?' To him, you'll always be that girl who used to walk past the bus driver and sort of shrug/smile and never pay, with the bad, good friend you're the girl who confounded men to the point of surrendering all the after party details and sometimes their bank's and all manner of help/protection from imminent arrest thanks to the drunken bridge burning of said bad, good friend who has been barred from pretty much every establishment you used to frequent.
He apparently doesn't try to frequent these places anymore and neither do I but for some reason old friends cant quite believe you have forgotten how to be the girl they used to know and they never will, thank God...or else where would one go when one needs to be incorrigibly bad? So horrifically uncouth that if your boyfriend saw you he'd pretend not to know you or make sure he didn't by the next day. The one unfortunate side effect of reconnecting with old and frankly quite bad for your health friends (the good stands for your bond not the quality of influence) is the dinstinct feeling days later that emerges from your ragged synapses that perhaps you are not the girl you once were, no longer sexy, no longer powerful, no longer thin enough to fit into the jeans youve known were a far off island away from reality for a good 2 years now...It just hits you, like Melanie Griffith looking at her discombobulated old-new face trying to remember what the last new face looked like and if it was any better....you just don't know! and if one is better than the other does it really matter? I cant change it now, my life is different, my priorities are different.
So yes I'm out of practice on the old sexual blagging. I'm out of practice and I'm a little more out of shape than I was the last time my old friend saw me but surprisingly he thinks i still look fantastic, the same even. He sounds aghast when i repeat my age, he keeps reminding me of how fabulous I am, and he means it and the good part of this bad friendship is that i think he always will. I fear he always will; tipping my ego over into territory that does not equate with my real life. Convincing me i should leave the Masters degree behind and the relationship and the couch grazing with a laptop and go and reenact 4 years ago. Or maybe just live a little more.
He knows I have no intention of being 30 something and holding eyelids made crepey with wine open with a matchstick hunting for meat (previously of the hot door man variety sans the lengthy chats which is really very tedious at 4.30 in the morning) while he makes strange noises over groups of women believing he is in fact making conversation. He knows we'll have to grow old gracefully now we've reconnected. When I left his flat he asked 'what exactly do grown ups do in the evening without alcohol, we must do that instead', various suggestions were wrought out of our sodden brains such as 'the cinema?'...'erm...food?' Next time we'll do food and maybe next time less of the post party depression. As my boyfriend reminded me, who is really looking much more wonderful a reality as the memory of debauchery fades, 'you can't be the same person, you're not the same person, you don't live the kind of life that would faciliate the way you used to live' I'll go on not because I'm exploitative but just beacuse I thought this was very lovely and worth exploiting; 'you weren't how you are now when we met, but i didn't fall in love with the girl you used to be I fell in love with the woman you've turned into, the woman who by worrying about what she isn;t anymore underestimates all the hard work she put into turning her life around and all she's achieved' Well...how can you argue with that? The schism between past me and me now as i see her, ie: mostly cognizant, cooks a lot, worries about buying her boyfriend the right bike, is in my mind not his. For the boyfriend there is no 'still' in relation to me, no 'in spite of' in his esteem for me, it is a good constant, one to have a little faith in, a little faith that a girl like me then or now is not used to. Ive never been so rooted in one place with one person and I decided that although Id like this me to reach for her La Perla a bit more often and feel excited about herself and her love life there is room for all that, time for all that but perhaps not whilst trying to write her memoirs, a thesis, a blog, a TV pilot and live a life with someone that demands sobriety in order for us to even stay awake because we're both so busy.

(this is still a work in progress)
The GingerBreak APK is a wrapper around the newly released GingerBreak exploit (credits to The Android Exploid Crew), which is meant to attain root access on GingerBread. This specific exploit may work on various Froyo and Honeycomb versions as well.
What the APK and exploit do is as follows:
– The APK puts the right files in the right place to run the exploit
– The APK runs the exploit
– The exploit attempts to attain root access
– If it succeeds, the exploit remounts /system as read-write and runs the installer script
– The installer script attempts to install the su binary and superuser APK, and reboots
Some important things to know:
– You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
– You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
– The APK must be install to device, NOT SD card
– The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device
– Always reboot between root attempts!
– While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device
– The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
– Optional: Press than Thanks button below this post
– Make sure USB debugging is enabled
– Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
– Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it
– Open the APK, press the root button
– Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot
– Make sure the Superuser app is install and working
– Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore
– Optional: Make a donation
WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted
Donate to Chainfire by PayPal: click this link
Donate to The Android Exploid Crew by PayPal: firstname.lastname@example.com
Please report back if it does or doesn't work on specific devices. If it doesn't, don't forget to post your logcat as attachment, and mention your device details and GingerBreak version.
– I made the APK and did some slight modding to the exploit code to install from an APK
– The exploit ("GingerBreak") itself is made by The Android Exploid Crew. Original code can be found here: http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2011/04…ngerbreak.html
Manual rooting
From v1.1 it is no longer possible to manually root the device over an ADB connection using the files from this APK. Please use the original binaries from the c-skills website to do this. There are several guides posted here on XDA about how to do this manually, some are mentioned/linked-to in the first few pages of this thread.
GingerBreak is not specific to any device, but there is code in there that may not work on device X or Y. The exploit is generic, but that does not mean one size fits all, nor does it mean that there will be no firmwares out there that fix this exploit. A special version may need to be compiled for your device, ask your favorite hacker from your specific device's forum. This APK is meant to make the process easier, but also adds dependancies so that it may not work on your device.
26.04.2011: v1.2
– Removed some code that may break operation while the code itself isn't needed
– Added UnRoot option
– The APK now logs exploit output semi-live
22.04.2011: v1.1
– Modded exploit code to not need /data/local/tmp – this should fix the problem extracting assets as well as be more compatible with various devices (in theory). In case the APK notices that this cannot work, it will warn you about this.
– Added some warnings and errors to the APK
21.04.2011: v1.0
– First release of APK
– Slight mods to the exploit source to have it work better from APK

What I carry in my backpack is not a substitute for what's between my ears. This is especially true with my first aid kit when hiking and backpacking in the wilderness: rather than thinking of this collection of items as a get-out-of-jail-free card, I'm much better served by having researched beforehand the environmental and route conditions I will likely encounter, and then using common sense in the field: identifying risks, respecting the limits of my group, and making conservative decisions.
On each trip, I hope to avoid medical situations completely. In the instances when I have, I've been humbled by how few things I can fully treat in the field — minor cuts, burns, and scrapes; overuse aches and pains; minor allergic reactions, diarrhea, and acute mountain sickness; plus a few other things. For anything more, I'm looking at a self-rescue or an assisted evacuation.
Gear list: Backpacking first aid kit for soloists and groups
My DIY first aid kit has been field-tested by and refined over hundreds of solo and group trips, throughout the Appalachians, High Sierra, Desert Southwest, and Rocky Mountains. To download it as a PDF or editable spreadsheet, go here.
- Critical = A must-have, no exceptions
- Suggested = A valuable addition, few reasons not to bring
- Optional = Not critical, but worth consideration
- Depends = Contingent on trip objectives, conditions, and/or other selections
- Unnecessary = Unlikely to need and/or can be improvised
Medical training
A first aid kit does not translate into medical know-how. For that, consider some training — at least CPR certification, but ideally Wilderness First Aid or Wilderness First Responder (especially for trip leaders and avid soloists) through organizations like WMI (NOLS), WMAI, and SOLO.
DIY or commercial first aid kits?
Commercial first aid kits like the AMK Ultralight are convenient, but I'd recommend assembling your own. A DIY kit will be less expensive (at least for what you get, especially in the long run as you need to replenish items) and it can be better tailored to the unique medical needs of your group, activities, and environment.
You may be forced to buy amounts in excess of what you need. With the leftovers, create additional first aid kits for your home and vehicle(s).
Solo versus group kit
On a group trip, medical situations are more likely and more diverse in nature, simply due to there being more people, each with a unique medical history. Appropriately, then, my group first aid kit is more robust than what I carry when solo — I bring more items and greater quantities of each item.
My solo kit is a slimmed-down version of my group kit. For example, I leave behind aspirin (which I don't need, but which I might give to an older group member with symptoms of a heart attack) and disposable gloves (since it's okay for me to be in contact with my own body fluids), and I bring a smaller utility tool because I likely will not need it as often or as much.
The amount of each item I carry is a function of the trip duration, group size, and my sense of its importance. My philosophy is this: If I really need an item, I want to have enough to address fully the medical event.
For example, if I come down with iliotibial tendentious ("runner's knee") I want enough anti-inflammatory medications so that I can take full dosage until I exit or arrive at the next town with a drugstore. And if I were to badly cut myself, I want enough wound dressings and tape to treat it properly.
Kit weight
I have never weighed my first aid kit. If you do, you are welcome to share what you get. But, frankly, its weight is irrelevant: my kit has what I need and not much extra (or any extra), and knowing its weight would not prompt me to reconsider its contents. If I were striving to be an "ultralight" backpacker (whatever that means), my approach towards first aid would be no different.

A recent AlterNet article by Chris Hall declares:
"Hitchens, Dawkins and Harris Are Old News:
A Totally Different Atheism Is on the Rise"
The 'new' New Atheism is all about social justice. Hall sums it up this way:
"The activists who insist that atheism address matters of social justice are not distracting the movement from its purpose or being divisive; they are insisting it deliver on the promises that attracted so many of us to it in the first place."
If the most significant promise of atheism is social justice, I can't wait to see atheism try to deliver. It seems to me that an absence of belief (or belief in an Absence), is in a pretty poor position to promise much of anything.
But no, this is exactly what the 'new' New Atheists are saying. (Can we please just call them the "NNA" for short? Thanks.) So post-Dawkins disbelievers view their lack of belief "less as an end in itself", but as part of the social justice conversation. We're told that "an increasing number of the most passionate voices bringing new people into the movement [meaning atheism] are people of color, women, transgendered, or queer."
Short version: The NNA sees skepticism about God, heaven and the Bible as part of the discussion about race, sexual equality and sexual identity.
How does that work?
"To make ethical decisions without the revelations from a deity means that the responsibility for those decisions ends with you, and no one else. Even more importantly, when you accept that there is no world beyond this one, you have to turn your eyes away from the sky and look at the people around you."
That's certainly one way to look at it. But oddly enough, when we talk about the responsibility for human decisions ending with us, we find ourselves right back in the Scripture, which says something eerily similar.
Responsibility Ends With Us Anyway
The first plank of Hall's NNA platform is that ethical decisions end with you and me.
But the responsibility for our decisions ends with us regardless of which worldview we may currently embrace. Here's what the word of God says about human responsibility:
· We're told that men will give an account for every careless word, which must certainly include any genuinely hateful speech the social justice advocates despise.
· We're assured that each of us will "give an account of himself to God". This comes in the context of "passing judgement" on our fellow man or "despising" him. Surely here is the antidote to racism, among other things.
· We will give an account for our deeds. So for the Christian, the incentive to be "just" is even more keenly felt. Paul tells the Corinthians "we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."
If the goal is genuine justice (as opposed to 'social justice', which is frequently employed as a kind of shorthand for redistributionist politics and limitless, content-less tolerance), there is no better motivator for it than the Christian faith and the revelation of Christ.
Look at the People Around You
The second plank of Hall's NNA platform is that "when you accept that there is no world beyond this one, you have to turn your eyes away from the sky and look at the people around you".
Maybe I'm missing something, but in a universe without God, I cannot think of a single plausible reason to "look at the people" around me. My life stands to be brief, pointless and possibly quite unpleasant. I am an animal among animals, and I can see no reason to choose altruism or ethics over being on the one hand the king of beasts clawing his way to the top of the pile, or on the other a dissolute hermit enjoying the benefits of solitary self-indulgence.
Chris Hall sees a causal connection between nonbelief and ethical behavior, and good for him in that respect. But insisting on a connection and proving it exists are two very different things.
Unlike some, I can readily imagine a post-moral, post-Christian pseudo-atheist, unmoored from logic or reason, flailing around and finding some temporary peace of mind in caring for the odd widow or orphan. What I cannot for a second imagine is how he or she might set about justifying that behavior.
The atheist may reply, "I don't have to justify it!" To which the only rational rejoinder is: On what possible basis do you go about advocating altruism for others?
As has been pointed out ad infinitum, nobody — not Dawkins, not Hitchens, not Sam Harris and certainly not the NNA gang — has offered any plausible incentive arising from an atheistic worldview to pursue the creation of a 'heaven on earth' that we will inevitably cease to derive any benefit from the instant we cease to exist.
Christianity does.

Starting up a business Odell Beckham Jr Giants Jersey , particularly with new inventors and inventions needs a lot of creativeness, luck and pure hard work. With many Australian inventors, creative imagination is definitely not an issue, however, not they all were responsible for the ignite that produced new invention ideas. A few were, however, not all. What a couple of have in common is that sort of creativeness that spots the prospective of a current invention as well as the drive to transform that potential into actuality and after that to the money. It's that feeling of anticipating the waves that you could actually feel in such individuals, and the determination of the dog with a bone: these people don't ignore it until the concept has been given reality.
Research prospective licensees: - Clever brains have licensees at heart while their items continue to be designed. As you will develop your items Michael Strahan Jersey , think of a list of manufacturers that would wish to license these masterpieces. A list of 2 or 3 manufacturers won't work; you need to have several dozen prospective licensees outlined so as to research all of them and produce the best licensing contracts for your needs.
Work with a legal professional: - A good inventors and inventions never reveals details about his or her items without having an attorney. Ideally, your product or service must be patented prior to being submitted to any company. If a company requests you sign any type of non disclosure contract, have your legal professional review it. The cash you pay in attorney's fees will be more than recouped if you are able to avoid the theft of your work or other legal issues. You should as well work with a legal representative when the time comes to bargain an authorization so that you can obtain the most from the licensing agreement.
Understand your industry: - In order to successfully license your product or service to companies, you have to be a specialist in your industry. You need to understand who's in your potential audience, what other organizations are creating similar products, exactly what the potentials are for product sales and revenues, as well as related information. Prospective licensees expect you to know these details, so you must be prepared. If you do not know these details at the back of your side Mark Bavaro Jersey , you may get cheated or have your product or service rejected by potential licensees.
Adhere to submission guidelines: - Most companies that work straight with product designers have submission rules in place for whenever an inventor desires to submit an item for possible certification. Ensure you follow these suggestions. If you do not, your submission could possibly be rejected and you will fail to see the opportunity to employ a big company license your product or service.
Being inventors and inventions owner, your idea should be straightforward or it won't be adopted. Straightforwardness of many successful new items or means of doing things is among the reasons behind their good results - "why did I not consider that?" is a very common thought. Ensure that you can explain in regular terms how efficient your product or service is and how it'll make life simpler.

The 18th Annual PANDA Luncheon was hosted at the Phoenician on Saturday, March 25, raising an estimated $2 million in funds for Children's Autoimmunity and Allergies Project.
PANDA, also known as People Acting Now Discover Answers, has historically raised $9 million since its inception in 1999, according to a press release.
This year's luncheon sold out a month in advanced with 1,100 guests. Event chairs were Janey Henze Cook and Tammy Ryan, with Board President Jennifer Karas.
The luncheon at the Phoenician, 6000 E. Camelback Road in Scottsdale, featured 55 child models, a live and silent auction and a raffle.
The group's goal is to unravel the mystery of common autoimmune issues among children — type 1 diabetes, juvenile arthritis, Crohn's disease, colitis, sever food allergies, eosinophilic esophagitis, and celiac disease, the release stated.
Children were in the spotlight at PANDA's event, with Kate Brink, a seventh grader, singing the opening song, and Saylor Stratton, 2008 patient model gave the invocation.
Letitia Frye was the auctioneer and Jamie Krell was the event emcee introducing all of the children models. Guests enjoyed lunch and watched 55 children strut their stuff on the runway.
The organization was founded by Penny Gunning and Robyn DeBell in 1999 and to date, PANDA has donated $9 million to improve treatments and cures for devastating childhood diseases as well as fund and recruit internationally recognized pediatric physicians and scientists to Arizona, providing local families with the most cutting-edge medical care.

GOP caucus: Iacono, Bellitto denied nod for re-election
Incumbents on the Boards of Education and Finance were knocked off the November ballot by Republicans casting ballots in Tuesday's caucus.
Pamela Iacono, who has served on the school board for the last five years and was, for about two years, the board's chairwoman, was unable to secure the nomination for one of the two seats the party will contest this fall. She will, however, be running for a seat on the Representative Town Meeting.
RTM member David Becker, who two years ago ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nod for first selectman, bounced finance board Vice Chairman Robert Bellitto Jr. in his bid for re-election. Bellitto, had bested Becker two years ago in the contest to be the GOP first selectman candidate, but went on to lose to Democrat Michael Tetreau.
Newcomers Eileen Liu-McCormack and John Llewellyn, who along with his wife Dawn has been involved in the months-long controversy over "pilot" use of a textbook in Algebra 1 classes, will be the Republican candidates for the Board of Education. Liu-McCormack received 353 votes from caucus voters, while Llewellyn received 346. Iacono tallied 265 votes, and the fourth candidate, Dorene Herron, got 247 votes.
Llewellyn said he decided to enter the race because he wants to "improve the school district and make it a little more fiscally responsible."
"I wish them well," Iacono said. "I look forward to serving RTM District 9."
RTC Chairman James Millington said 589 registered Republicans out of 10,735 eligible, or 5.48 percent, cast ballots during the caucus, about the same as were cast in 2011 when there was a first selectman race. The polls were open to all local Republicans from 4 to 8 p.m. at Fairfield Ludlowe High School.
There were also four candidates for two Board of Finance spots for which the GOP will field candidates in the fall.
Becker, a former RTM majority leader, received 320 votes, and will run with incumbent Mary LeClerc, who received 335 votes. Bellitto, whose motion to cut $350,000 in town funding for the Pequot Library, as well as support for all non-profits, in the 2013-14 budget generated an uproar in town, particularly in Becker's Southport district, got 289 votes. Newcomer Brendan Miles received 136 votes.
"I'm excited and I am happy to bring my perspective from four years on the RTM onto to a new board," Becker said. Bellitto was not at Ludlowe when the polls closed.
The GOP had a third contested race in RTM District 1, with six candidates seeking the nomination for five available seats. Securing the nomination were incumbents Eric Sundman, 87 votes; Michael Herley, 110; Gaylord Meyer, 74, and Joseph "Jay" Lipp, 77, was well as John Donovan, who received 94 votes. Losing out was Frank Greco with 57 votes.
Republican officials had initially fielded candidates for an eight-district, 40-member RTM, but an injunction issued Friday by Superior Court Judge Mary E. Sommer prevents the town from implementing the new local voting district plan adopted in May. The judge ruled the that vote on the new redistricting plan -- backed on a party-line vote by the RTM's GOP majority -- was illegal. That means the previous 50-member, 10-district map of local voting districts will again be used in November.
Since then, the GOP was able to find 45 RTM candidates for the November the ballot, while the Democrats have fielded 46 RTM candidates. It is not unusual for either political party to fall short of finding a full complement of 50 candidates from all 10 districts.

The trench coat has, over the decades, become an iconic garment. There are only a few truly iconic fashion looks and this is one of them. Winser's new collection of light trench coats has just arrived online. The contemporary trench works across new fabrics and lengths. Ours is 100% Poly Twill and comes in three styles. Details are pared down to the minimum and many of the traditional extras have been done away with, just leaving the essence of the design reliant more on cut and colour. The Tailored Trench Coat, £195, has a boyish cut and is worn unbelted, the fabric has a slight sheen and all the coats are both casual and dressy. The A-line Trench Coat, £195, slick and belted, with generous stylish lapels is also available in a shorter length, £175. All three styles are available in black and pearl. The trench was originally designed for soldiers and was suitably heavy, but when worn by a woman she looks fragile but sporty. A delicate flower in a man's world, think Audrey Hepburn, never more elegant and vulnerable than when wearing the trench.

STRASBOURG (Reuters) - The European Union executive proposed on Tuesday making EU development aid and trade ties with African and other poor countries conditional on their cooperation in curbing migration to Europe.
"Those countries who ... work with us will get certain treatment," an EU official said of the package of measures put forward by the European Commission.
"Those who don't want to or are incapable will get different treatment and that will be translated via our development, trade policies."
A deal with Turkey, much criticized by human rights groups, has cut the arrivals in Greece to a trickle after some 1.3 million reached Europe last year. But people smugglers have become more active again in recent weeks on the even more dangerous Mediterranean routes from North Africa to Italy.
Last year, much of the irregular migration to Europe was by Syrians, Iraqis and others fleeing war or conflict in the Middle East. But EU leaders are concerned about a long-term prospect of massive migration from Africa, the world's poorest continent.
"We must find solutions, sustainable solutions. We cannot tolerate the loss of human lives at this scale and we must do everything we can to stop it," the Commission's deputy head, Frans Timmermans, said in a statement.
The plan envisages spending 8 billion euros ($9 billion) in development aid and other assistance over the next five years.
Some of that money has already been pledged but Brussels now wants to add more funds and make disbursements under deals it would seal with each country individually to ensure the recipients keep a lid on migration in exchange for EU money.
First in line to agree the so-called "compacts" on aid-for-migration are Jordan and Lebanon, major hosts like Turkey for Syrian refugees. The Commission also said it wants to work toward similar agreements in Africa, with Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali and Ethiopia.

Stanley looks at a floating Thinkagram image of Maggie, showing her from the waist up. The blue light illuminates Stanley's stern expression, Maggie looks neutral.
The call felt weird. Fainter, and...something else. Had a strange...brain-taste. He could only barely see her, but she was in his head.
"Maggie!" he shouted.
"My Overlord, I apologize," said Maggie, her voice a little distorted. "We've had magical difficulties beyond our control."
"What's Hamster doing? Put him on!"
"I cannot, at this time, Lord," said Maggie. "He has asked me to tell you all is well for now, to thank you for saving his life, and to warn you to prepare the city for possible assault by air. From Charlescomm."
"Yeah, he better believe he owes me. So who hired Charlie? I thought Jetstone was broke," said Stanley, mulling it over. "Hey is Slately really croaked?"
"He is, Lord," said Maggie's voice. "And we are at war with Charlescomm itself."
Stanley shook his head. "No, Charlie fights for cash. He doesn't do that."
"Perhaps not," said Maggie, "but your Chief Warlord does. Lord Parson is intent on conquering Charlescomm as a side."
Stanley's eyebrows went up. He'd given up taking on Charlie a long time ago. It was impossible. Arkentool vs. Arkentool? The Titans didn't want that, did they?
But Hamster...Hamster did what Hamster was gonna do, right? Including the impossible. Haha, *especially* the impossible!
His lips slowly spread into a wide grin.
"Oh, cool," he said. "Yeah, I hate that guy."

Error Fix for apwutil.dll
The apwutil.dll file is a file that was only used by Norton Anti-Virus 2000 and by Norton Internet Security versions 5 and later. The apwutil.dll module is also known as the Norton Anti-Virus Agent Utility Library and is a very important component of the NAV software.
Being the utility library of the Norton Anti-Virus program the module apwutil.dll contains the instructions and commands needed for the efficient running of the software. The apwutil.dll module is also called upon by the other applications within the software. The file is used by windows to allow the operations of the Norton software product suite.
Norton Anti-Virus (NAV) is a product of Symantec Corporation and it is one of the most widely used antivirus programs. The apwutil.dll file is bundled with the installer of this program. Its function is to detect and remove viruses, spyware, ad ware, and other potential security risks. Norton Anti-Virus is sold as a standalone product and is also included as part of Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works.
Like most standard antivirus software Norton Anti-Virus provides real-time protection from viruses, spyware, worms, keyloggers, rootkits and many other forms of malware. The program also includes a real-time scanner which intercepts any malicious activity as soon as it occurs. The 2008 edition of the NAV software boasts of a new technology that makes running the program about 60% faster and more efficient compared to the last edition.
The apwutil.dll file was first seen on Norton Anti-Virus 2000 and subsequently on the 2005 and later versions of the Norton Internet Security package. However Norton Anti-Virus 2002 and above versions do not use the apwutil.dll module and a common error message that users come across when they try to install the 2002 and above versions is "A required DLL file, apwutil.dll is missing".
If you get this error make sure you uninstall your previous version of the software completely before proceeding to re-install the program in order to get rid of the corrupted program.
Recommended fix if you are experiencing apwutil.dll error messages:
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files contain computer code and resources that can be used by multiple programs at the same time. This uses less system memory and helps your computer system run more efficiently. DLL files give program developers the ability to reuse code to add features to several programs without the need to write new code for each program.
There are many programs that require DLL files to function properly so when one of them is damaged or missing it will cause program crashes and poor system performance.
To fix these problems the user must replace the damaged file with a valid working version. If a working version cannot be found the user may perform a reinstallation of their operating system.

THE Scottish Football Association is ready to punish Mike Ashley and Rangers over the Newcastle United owner's Ibrox involvement.
Hampden chiefs have issued both Ashley and the club with notices of complaints.
The latest development in the Gers saga came the same day as it was confirmed boss Ally McCoist had tendered his resignation.
McCoist has given a 12-month notice period but the final say on whether the manager remains in charge of the cash-strapped Light Blues for that long could ultimately rest with the Sports Direct tycoon.
However, his behind-the-scenes manoeuvrings have now put the Magpies owner on a collision course with the SFA.
Compliance Officer McGlennan has charged him with breaching two of the governing bodies' rules.

• You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Google +
The first - disciplinary rule 19 - states that "except with the prior written consent of the board no person [who] has any power whatsoever to influence the management or administration or a club, may at the same time either directly or indirectly (a) be a member of another club; or (b) be involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management or administration of another club; or (c) have any power whatsoever to influence the management or administration of another club.
A second charge accuses Ashley of breaching disciplinary rule 77, which states, "A recognised football body, club, official, Team Official, other member of Team Staff, player, match official or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall, at all times, act in the best interests of Association Football".
Rangers as a club have also been accused of breaching rules 19 and 77 while they also face a third charge relating to disciplinary rule 1.
It states "All members shall: (b) be subject to and comply with (i) the Articles (ii) this protocol and (f) behave towards the Scottish FA and other members with the utmost good faith".
Both the club and Ashley will face a principal hearing on Tuesday, January 27, next year.
Ashley was one of the original investors in the initial public offering when Rangers was floated on the AIM Market - a sub-market on the London Stock Exchange - at the end of 2012.
But Ashley had already promised the SFA that he would not own more than 10 per cent of Rangers as part of an agreement designed to limit his influence at Ibrox while he remains in control of Newcastle.
Although his current stake in the club stands at 8.92 per cent, Ashley runs Rangers' retail division and has recently handed the club a £3million loan.
His right-hand man Derek Llambias - the former Newcastle managing director - has also been added to the Gers board.
An option on stadium naming rights bought for just £1 have been handed back to the club, however.
Rangers announced losses of £8.3million last month and need to raise a similar amount before the end of the financial year if the club is to survive.
McCoist's decision to walk means he must be paid £750,000 for the final year of his contract and it is likely the clubs directors will have to turn to their main benefactor - Ashley - once again if they are to find the cash they desperately require.
The club's board is expected to meet with McCoist on Wednesday to discuss the situation.
If found guilty, Rangers could face a range of punishments that include a censure, fine, being thrown out of the the Scottish Cup, a transfer ban or even having their membership of the SFA terminated.
Ashley, meanwhile, risks a £10,000 fine if he fails to have the charges dropped.

I felt only shame after viewing this Malayalam movie "Salt Mango Tree" on NetFlix along with my wife.
While there are many positive things I can say about my birth country India, there are equally many bad things that exist even today in modern India. I feel very proud when I see global corporate CEOs from India (far outnumbering many other countries), over 100 satellites being placed successfully in orbit by one single rocket launch by the Indian Space Research Organization, the very optimistic young generation in the entire world which India has in abundance, and so on and so forth – it is a rather long list of achievements by India and Indians in a short span of just six decades.
However, the things which went wrong over these same six decades, and which continue to hamper the potential and growth of India still bother me a lot. These should bother all well-wishers of India. What I am referring to here are things like corruption, lack of guaranteed, affordable and accessible education for all, lack of universal healthcare for all citizens, lack of safety and security for women and even for very young girl children, and lack of world-class infrastructure and facilities all across the country including uninterrupted access to electrical power, potable water, proper roads, high speed internet, etc., etc., Though there have been some improvements in the past few years, what India needs cannot be met with incremental enhancements of existing infrastructure. India needs to do what a China has done in the past 30 years of relentless public investment in a non-bureaucratic manner with the sole intention of enhancing the livelihood of its people. Communist China has done a far better job than a democratic India, and I am not going to listen to the democratic nonsense that many armchair philosophers expound on the superiority of democracy. Everything in the corporate world is measured on budgeted outcomes, why not in government and governance?
The movie "Salt Mango Tree" describes one facet of India's systemic failure in providing quality education for all children. Parents have to run around for getting admissions to prestigeous schools, and are totally stressed out in the process. They have to perform better than their children in school admission interviews. What about children of hawker stalls and poor people? How will they get admission in such schools if the criteria is based on how well the parents perform in interviews? How will they speak in English, let alone come well dressed and well groomed for such nonsensical interviews?
I was seriously embarrassed to see how the movie portrays the anguish of both the parents, who struggle to make a living and save money for their only boy. The movie strongly hints about the so-called "donation" which is nothing but a bribe which parents have to offer to schools. When parents give up on the due process in getting school admissions, they turn towards short cuts such as bribe, and this practice continues throughout the life cycle of their children, embedding and validating the need for systemic corruption. Why would anybody outside the Indian system believe that our quality of education is good and impeccable, on par with the developed countries? Making an incorrect comparison with the IITs and IIMs is wrong, as the folks who get into such schools do so entirely on merit, and they go on to change the greater world in many ways. They are focused on making wealth and very few dedicate their lives to fixing the systemic issues of governance in India (I personally know of only one such classmate).
I am not going to describe the movie here, but the message from the movie cannot be more impactful – to get quality education in India even at the primary level (starting at Kindergarten) today, parents have to prepare well, get trained, perform very well in school admission interviews, and be ready to offer donations. This is not the case in any one of the developed nations of the world. If India wishes to achieve the status of the top 5 countries of the world (not just based on GDP), it has to pay serious attention to education, healthcare, quality of living, public infrastructure, etc., and follow the model of either the Nordic countries or countries like Singapore, where public systems by government trump even the best quality of private systems (which are also available but at a tremendous cost). If India cannot invest at least 5% of its national budget on improving public Education and another 5% on public Healthcare, then the future generations will continue to suffer.
The focus outside India today has turned positive about India after a long dry spell of negative media coverage about the bad things happening in India. I have seen that over the past quarter century (most of which I have spent outside India), and it sometimes used to pain me. I am out of it now and immune to the negative coverage on India. I look for some positive news on India every day. The political news is not encouraging. As I wrote in a recent blog post, my experience in Bangalore traffic in the midst of visiting foreigners was not positive. The "East Asians" detest infrastructure problems as they have long been used to good infrastructure and environment. I make it a point not to bad-mouth India in any manner to them, and I try to keep my views to myself. I tend to talk about the positives and push the envelope for their next visit.
However, as I write here this evening, it pains me again to see that India has not changed in fundamental public services.
Looks like this will be the situation in our life time.

LOS ANGELES - Widget Post Production (www.widgetpost.com) has expanded its audio capabilities with the recent launch of a new facility. Located on the site that formerly housed Digital Sound & Picture, the refurbished space offers sound effects and dialogue editing services, as well as ADR, television mixing, Foley and dubbing capabilities.
The studio's 1,700-square-foot, THX-certified main mixing stage is centered around a 96-fader, 768-channel Digidesign ICON integrated control surface. The room can operate at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution and supports up to 7.1 channel mixes.
Widget's ADR stage includes a comfortable control room, a separate 11-pit Foley stage and nine edit suites designed for sound effects work and audio sweetening.
"We looked around at the number of larger or corporate-owned audio companies and saw a market for one-stop shop facilities - especially one that focused on client services and relationship-building while keeping up to the minute with digital technology," says Anne-Marie Slack, president of Widget Post. "We knew we wanted to build stages, and we were really excited to be able to do this in a virtually untouched facility that also had a great legacy of audio engineering and design."
The new space has already hosted numerous Hollywood studio and independent films for a range of audio finishing and restoration work. Robyn-Alain Feldman, a post production supervisor and producer whose credits include Michael Mann's "Collateral" and the television series "Alias" and "Felicity," has worked at the facility. And the location's re-recording stage was used to mix the film "Nearing Grace" for director Rick Rosenthal.
Additional work includes temp mixes for Walt Disney Pictures' "A Lot Like Love," ADR, mixing and sound editorial for director Lee Shallot Chemel's "Greener Mountain," and ADR recording for MGM's "Be Cool."

HIAWATHA BRAY'S column today is downright scary ("Trump, Putin, and the hacking of an American election"). Will it take Putin's fulfillment of Donald Trump's crazy request that Russians further hack US computer systems to get those young tech geniuses in Silicon Valley and Cambridge to stop playing around with new games, frivolous phone gizmos, and software to help millionaires hedge their stock bets and turn instead to finding meaningful ways to stop hackers once and for all?

The New York Times published an interview between Ana Marie Cox and Debbie Wasserman Schultz yesterday, and the DNC chair's answers were wild from start to finish. From declining to explain why the Democratic Party temporarily cut off Bernie Sanders's campaign's access to the party's voter activation network (VAN) — which isn't actually that difficult of a question to answer — to blaming young women's "complacency" for their lack of enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton to a positively backwards defense of her opposition to legalizing marijuana, practically every one of her answers was problematic in some way or another, and didn't do anything to stave off the mounting pressure from progressive groups that are calling for her resignation.
Let's break a few of these answers down:
AMC: After the Bernie Sanders campaign improperly accessed voter data, the Democratic National Committee was swift with its punishment, suspending his campaign from having access to the database. How did you come up with that sanction?
DWS: Quite honestly, we are putting this behind us. The American people deserve an intelligent debate, and this isn't one.
There are two ways to put an issue to bed: Refuse to answer questions and hope people stop asking, or give a good enough answer that no followup is needed. As I've written before, given the extent to which Bernie Sanders's campaign acted inappropriately in taking advantage of NGP VAN's data breach, temporarily suspending the campaign's access until the issue was resolved seemed like a standard and reasonable procedure. That's all she has to say, but her refusal to address the issue at all gives the impression that there's more being left out. It makes me — someone who's actually on her side of that particular debate — scratch my head and wonder why she's being so cagey.
AMC: Do you notice a difference between young women and women our age in their excitement about Hillary Clinton? Is there a generational divide?
DWS: Here's what I see: a complacency among the generation of young women whose entire lives have been lived after Roe v. Wade was decided.
This was the answer that really got her in trouble with the progressive community yesterday, and it's hard not to see why. Yes, there is a generational divide in excitement about Hillary Clinton, but it's a generational divide that cuts across genders. Young men and young women are about equally likely to support Bernie Sanders, and Wasserman Schultz seems to be implying that this shouldn't be the case. She seems frustrated with young women who just don't get that they're supposed to support a female candidate because they weren't on the front lines of the feminist battles of past decades.
There are a number of problems with this, but the most glaring one is that young women today (and men, for that matter) are on the front lines of new, arguably more progressive feminist battles than the ones Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are used to. To be clear, that's the result of past struggles and incremental victories, but it doesn't change the fact that progressive social policy in 2015 is to the left of what counted as progressive social policy in 1994. Young progressives today don't see why they should be expected to add "and rare" to assertions that abortion should be safe and legal, especially since doing so perpetuates harmful stigmas and undermines the concept of reproductive choice. They're troubled by Hillary Clinton's support of her husband's efforts to dismantle welfare programs and benefits for teachers — both in Arkansas and nationally — that have made life measurably worse for women. They're not at all on board with Clinton's work as Secretary of State that made life positively horrific for women abroad. They are willing to put aside what representational gains would come with electing a female president in favor of the much larger material gains offered by the more progressive candidate in the Democratic field.
That's the opposite of complacent. That's engaged.
AMC: You're one of a dwindling number of progressive politicians who oppose legalization of even the medical use of marijuana. Where does that come from?
DWS: I don't oppose the use of medical marijuana. I just don't think we should legalize more mind-altering substances if we want to make it less likely that people travel down the path toward using drugs. We have had a resurgence of drug use instead of a decline. There is a huge heroin epidemic.
AMC: Heroin addiction often starts with prescribed painkillers. Pill mills were a problem in Florida, but the state didn't make prescribing opiates illegal.
DWS: There is a difference between opiates and marijuana.
The single most common "gateway" substance known to man is alcohol. As Zaid Jilani of The Intercept pointed out yesterday, Debbie Wasserman Schultz counts the alcohol industry as one of her biggest sources of campaign contributions. If you're looking for a reason as to why she would repeat the tired, discredited idea that marijuana is a uniquely dangerous precursor to more harmful, addictive drugs (there is indeed a difference between opiates and marijuana), there's your answer.
AMC: Still, your opinion on this does seem like an outlier.
DWS: It's perfectly O.K. to not be completely predictable. I am a person, and I have individual opinions that may not line up ideologically. They're formed by my personal experience both as a mom and as someone who grew up really bothered by the drug culture that surrounded my childhood — not mine personally. I grew up in suburbia.
Among a long list of bad answers, this one is, I think, the worst. Debbie Wasserman Schultz opposes legal marijuana because she's always associated it with bad people in bad neighborhoods from which her family intentionally isolated themselves. She didn't have any actual experience with the drug culture in those, you know, urban neighborhoods…she just knows it was bad. And the people in those urban neighborhoods deserve to be punished. So there's no reason to curtail or otherwise change one of the single most racist public policy initiatives our government continues to engage in.
A majority of US citizens, and an even stronger majority of Democrats, support marijuana legalization. For the leader of the Democratic Party to make old, discredited, backward, privileged and borderline racist arguments against legalization is a huge issue for her. At best.
AMC: Are there any other positions that you have that might surprise people?
DWS: My criminal-justice record is perhaps not as progressive as some of my fellow progressives'.
AMC: It sounds as if these are things that come from a personal place for you.
DWS: I guess I'm protective. Safety has been my top legislative priority. I'm driven by the idea that safety is really a core function of government.
AMC: Conservatives hate that framing of the relationship between citizens and government.
DWS: I don't think we should just let things happen to people and let them be stupid and the victims of the consequences of their actions. I think we can put enough obstacles in the path of poor decision-making.
At this point, Wasserman Schultz needs to stop calling herself a progressive and just stick with calling herself a Democrat. Politicians who say that safety is their stop legislative priority have, with few if any exceptions, been willing to sacrifice and sell out civil liberties and economic freedoms — true progressive principles — for the sake of arcane, reactionary initiatives like the War on Drugs.
A lot of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's politics would have played well in 1994, but 20 years later, they are fundamentally out of step with where her party currently is and where it's headed. If she isn't ready to lead a truly progressive party — if she's content with being "not as progressive as some of her fellow progressives" — then perhaps it really is time for her to step aside and let someone else take the reins.

text: Why do companies need resource groups? There are four key reasons: recruitment, retention, talent development and market outreach. Organizations that have embraced ERGs have found themselves expanding these groups to include veterans and individuals with disabilities, in response to the OFCCP changes to Section 503 and 4212. There are often challenges associated with both – Self ID as one- and even more so, a need to integrate them with existing ERG's. This session will be lead by Katherine McCary and DC Metro BLN member companies will share their successes and challenges.

Gianni Infantino vowed to reunite football and focus on developing the game instead of politics after being chosen as Fifa's ninth president.
The Fifa election entered a second round of voting for the first time in 42 years after Infantino of Switzerland secured more backing than many people's favourite, Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al- Khalifa of Bahrain in the first round. Initially a two-thirds majority was required to win, but a simple majority of more than 50 per cent – 104 votes – was sufficient for victory in the second round at the world governing body's extraordinary congress in Zurich. And Uefa general secretary Infantino, the man backed by the Scottish FA, the English FA and Sir Alex Ferguson, secured 115 votes to Salman's 88 to become the second successive Swiss president, after Sepp Blatter. The lawyer, 45, is from Brig in the Valais region of Switzerland, less than six miles from Blatter's hometown of Visp.
Five candidates had been in the running to succeed Blatter, but South African Tokyo Sexwale withdrew his candidacy moments prior to the first round of voting. Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein had 27 votes in the first round and four in the second, while Jerome Champagne had seven and then none as Infantino secured the additional votes required to become Fifa's first new president since 1998. Prince Ali's backers turned to Infantino, who also profited from a split vote from African associations, which had 54 votes.
Infantino said: "I don't agree that football is divided. Today it was an election, but not a war. It was a competition, but not a fight. It was a sporting contest. An election you win, you lose and then life goes on.
"I count very much on Africa as I count very much on Asia, and on Oceania and on North, Central, South America as well to work together.
"The election's taken place, I've been elected, now we turn the page, we start to work, we work good together and I show the whole world I'm not a candidate of Europe or wherever. I'm a candidate of football and football is universal.
"This is what we'll start to do now in Fifa: to work with everyone for the development of football and not to do politics, to speak about divisions, to speak about barriers.
"I said today we have to build bridges, not to build walls. Football can certainly do that. I want to focus on football.
"If we do that we can speak, discuss and agree and develop football everywhere in the world. That is my objective."
Blatter was voted in on five occasions, including last May, but after his final success he stepped aside within days amid allegations which led to a six-year ban from football-related activity, which he is contesting.
The resignation of Blatter, who strenuously denies any wrongdoing, prompted the extraordinary congress in the most pivotal period of Fifa's 112-year history at which crucial reforms were passed.
Infantino will serve the remaining term of office for which Blatter was elected last May, meaning there will be a further election in 2019.
"To the stakeholders – to national associations, leagues, clubs, players and to the fans – I want to say to all of you, you will be proud of Fifa, you will be proud of what Fifa will do for football," Infantino added.
"Fifa has gone through sad times, moments of crisis, but those times are over. We're going to win back this respect through hard work, commitment and we're going to make sure we can finally focus on this wonderful game that is football. We enter now a new era. It was today an important congress, an extraordinary congress, where some ground-breaking reforms have been approved and where a president has been elected who certainly can and will implement all these reforms. We'll restore the image of Fifa and make sure everyone will be happy."

Concrete Pumped at Power Station
Six Brothers utilized 300 feet of hose for this pour. The job was inside an electric substation in Sweeny Texas. We filled the trench with red colored concrete, so if there was any excavation in the area in the future, they would excavate the red colored concrete and know that there was electrical conduit underneath. Its a safety feature covering a high voltage power line underneath

Welcome to KACP
Welcome to the Kingdom Association of Covenant Pastors website. It is our intent to build strong churches that can minister in the 21st century. Our pastors are striving to model a New Testament commitment and our churches are becoming the place where Christ can be found and spiritual growth promoted. Many of our pastors acknowledged the struggles they and they churches were having in an age where so much is in flux and we have come together because we really believe "iron sharpens iron." We work together to change the world and strengthen our work. Our pastors and their people engage together so that they can build stronger communities of faith.
KACP networks pastors and churches, preachers and congregations so that we can cross pollinate and learn best practices from each other. Our commitment to the gospel causes us to recognize the need to strengthen one another.
Our churches are growing in their witness as they fellowship with believers from other places. Our pastors are stronger as they see their concerns in the broader context of the kingdom.
You may see KACP as an organization that can help your church ministry grow. As you peruse our page you will see the pastors and churches that are a part of our association as well as information we feel can be helpful in exposing you to what we are all about.

It's a quandary shared by many small farmers today. "We had to find a way to sell the farm, without selling the farm," says Chris Rinehart, co-owner of RiverView Mounds Century Farm, located near Clarksville, Tennessee. Not wanting to sell the land, and not interested in continuing to farm traditional row crops such as corn and soybeans like his father, Chris and his wife, Scarlett Mulligan, set out to find a new way to make a living on their family's farm.
Prior to farming, the couple spent time in the military and eventually moved to Spokane, Washington, with their son, Miles. There, Scarlett earned a degree as a physician assistant and Chris pursued a master's degree in philosophy. When Chris's father fell ill in 2006, the couple decided to return to their roots in Tennessee to spend time with family and raise their children (their daughter Harloew was born shortly after the move). It was also time to deal with the 375 acres of farmland that would soon be left to Chris and his brother.
"We knew we'd have to decide what to do with the farm someday," says Chris, "but not as suddenly as we did." Scarlett adds, "Our kids would be the seventh generation to live on this land. We couldn't bear the thought of selling it off to developers. So we came up with another idea."
After some soul-searching, along with lots of research, and guidance from organizations like University of Tennessee-Tennessee State University Extension Offices and Pick Tennessee Products, Chris and Scarlett found the answer. They decided to turn the farm into an agritourism destination, to educate kids and families about life on a farm. "For us, it's about closing the gap between the food and the table," says Scarlett.
"We get calls from small farmers like Chris and Scarlett wanting to do something more with their land all the time," says Karla Kean, at the University of Tennessee-Tennessee State University Extension Office. But Chris and Scarlett's passion stood out. "They have such a feel for the land," she says. "They really want to share it with others while teaching about its heritage and conservation. They just kind of have an aura about them-it's hard to put into words."
The passion that Kean describes, along with their unique blend of fun, educational on-farm events and alternative crops such as blueberries and Chardonnay grapes, recently won them the title of Tennessee's Small Farmer of the Year 2010 from Tennessee State University.
RiverView Mounds is also a certified Tennessee Century Farm. In the fall of 2008, Chris and Scarlett celebrated the farm's 175th anniversary with their first Fall Festival, offering hay rides, pumpkin-picking, a corn maze, and barnyard animal feeding activities. They will kick off this year's Fall Festival on September 11, and will follow that with Country Christmas 2010, beginning on November 26. Their busy roster of activities also includes hosting school groups. Kids learn about farm animals, plant life cycles, and seed-planting, and they can take a hayride out to the farm's Mississippian Era Native American mounds. The mounds, which were recently added to the National Historic Registry, are also the origin of the farm's name.
"The education piece is the most important thing for me," says Scarlett. "When I ask kids where their milk comes from, nine times out of ten they say 'Wal-Mart,' as if there's a faucet inside the store filling up the gallon jugs. We've got a long way to go."
Upcoming plans include providing produce through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture program), and selling cut flowers and year-round produce from two greenhouses that Chris built. They've also applied to the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program, a cost-sharing program for farmers, to build a Discovery Barn where kids can participate in farm activities such as churning butter and composting.
"Lots of the kids that come out have never been in a green space like this," says Scarlett. "They leave so happy and energized. It's just so powerful to be able to share this with them." Chris adds, "It's as if they come out here in black and white, and leave in full color."

I am just overwhelmed and delighted with the response to my 2014 On The Road Project of hand sewing the Castle Wall Block. This page will contain all the links needed to get you started on your own Castle Wall Project. And please post pictures of your block(s) to the Facebook wall so that others can see your vision of this great golden oldie of a block.
In my store you will find both Acrylic Templates for hand sewing your blocks and Papers for making them English Paper Piecing style (EPP). Some are even ordering both as they like the templates for fussy cutting their fabrics for the block and then finishing via EPP.
The link below will take you directly to "my store" and you will have to scroll down and select the items to place your order.
While there is no true pattern for my Castle Wall quilt I am sharing the instructions for the borders here. Note that my center is based on a side by side setting 56 blocks – 7 blocks by 8 blocks. This border is based on units so it is easily scalable for a larger or smaller version of the quilt.

Marcus Nispel came on the scene with Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake back in 2003. Since then hes not done a lot of note, but according to The Hollywood Reporter hes set to take over the reigns of another great horror franchise, Friday the 13th, which will definitely get him back into the horror limelight.
The Platinum Dunes-produced revamp will be working from a script by Freddy Vs. Jason screenwriters Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, and all thats known about it now is that it will feature Jason and his infamous mask throughout, despite being a remake of the first film, in which Jason only appeared at the very end.
You may recall that Darkness Falls director Joseph Liebsman (who, ironically some may say, directed Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) has been the #1 named attached to direct the redux since it was first announced, so its a bit encouraging that theyre trying someone else on.

FACT — BUSH'S VOLUNTARY APPROACH HAS FAILED TO CURB EMISSIONS: Carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. have increased by 354 million metric tons since 2001.

FACT — BUSH STILL DENIES FUNDAMENTAL CLIMATE SCIENCE: Last February, President Bush claimed there is still "a debate over whether [global warming] is man-made or naturally caused." There is no real scientific debate over this question. Most recently, the National Academy of Sciences has unequivocally stated that natural causes cannot explain the unprecedented warmth over the last 400 years. Rather, "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming," the report states. [ThinkProgress; National Academies Press]

God has raised up true leaders the same way for centuries--with training that begins with the heart. Skills can be learned. But a Christ-like heart comes through repentance, discipline, and encounters with God Himself. Message Titles: "The Back Door to the Throne Room," "Loyalty and Respect," "Counterfeit Authority," "Developing Ministry Gifts," "Changing the Wineskin," and "The Need for Endurance."

Animatic - First Draft
Here is my first animatic. I have decided to stick with "Ke" instead of "Kranti" as the background music, although I have edited the song heavily to make it half the size of the original track.

I am always excited when a new HomeSense opens in a downtown location as some of us live by Metro pass alone. This one at Spadina and King opened May 15 – 800 square feet of home furnishings and accessories up to 60 per cent off.
HomeSense has always been my go-to for picture frames. Why pay $20 when you can get a frame for half the price? And if it's in the scratch-and-dent-sale aisle, it will only cost you $5.
HomeSense is also the best source for coat hangers. I love the non-slip ones that come in a variety of colours including purple and teal. You get 18 for $12.99.
And there are storage containers galore: one that looks like kinky lingerie—in a black lace pattern with a zipper for $16.99 – would be perfect for knickers.
Talk about patio central. A tan wicker chaise that begs for a gin and tonic and a cheesy summer beach read goes for $249.99 (compared to $500 and up at the non-discount shops). That leaves money left over for BBQ goodies like a five-pack of Bull Snort hot sauces including a "Butt Burner" for $16.99.
HomeSense has the best prices for glassware after Value Village. Six wine glasses are only $12.98, less than the price of a glass of wine at some watering holes.
The huge selection of kitchenware includes a Kitchen Aid rib rack for $19.99, which unfortunately shares space on the shelf beside a dirty plastic ice-cream cup, unceremoniously dumped there by a shopper.
Why are some people such oinkers?
Speaking of which, a set of pig corn holders is available near the check-out for $5.99.
Looking for gift items? How about a horse sculpture made of twigs (it is not as outlandish as it sounds) for $24.99? Or a magnifying glass mounted on an Eiffel Tower for $9.99?
HomeSense is ground zero for throw pillows at throwaway prices. There's a neon yellow CAUTION pillow perfect for a kid's room for $19.99.
The bath and bedding department is awesome. You can get a set of sheets that have fallen off the back of a truck for $20 or a 300-thread-count king-sized set by Ralph Lauren for $44.
For the ultimate in pet pampering, pick up a leather dog bed that looks like a couch ($69.99) for Mini-Me.
There is even a fitness and health section with hand-milled Italian olive oil soaps, various and sundry health elixirs, yoga mats, Botox-alternative eye creams and a migraine wrap, which I need after being overcome by the sickly sweet smell of that section.
Minor quibble: The price tags are sometimes impossible to find. I have to hail a staffer to locate the price of a chocolate brown swivel-tub chair. He then has to undergo major contortions before he finds it stuck on the bottom of the chair. It is $200.
Also, there is no delivery available for large objects. But they will give you the card of an indie delivery service if you ask nicely at the cash.
HomeSense 80 Spadina Ave.
Intimidation factor: Non-existent. It is situated down the block from Dollarama and located in a basement.
Number of salespeople on floor: Innumerable. They are constantly fluffing the shelves or cleaning the pop machine.
Response time: Variable. It is pretty much DIY. You need to summon for assistance.
Vibe: Pottery Barn meets high-school gymnasium.
Price range: From $3.99 for a tin of garden twine to $399.99 for a 5-by-8 hand-woven wool-and-polyester rug that would cost at least double at chi-chi decorator stores.
Rating: Three and a half picture frames out of four.

(Repeats from JUNE 5, no changes to text)
* CYBG-Virgin would have 2 pct UK market share
* Would face tough ask to break grip of big four banks
* Bank branches, once barrier to entry, now a burden
* GRAPHIC: tmsnrt.rs/2Jcwir8
By Lawrence White and Emma Rumney
LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - Getting together could be the easy bit for mid-sized CYBG and Virgin Money, with breaking the grip of Britain's big four banks an altogether tougher challenge.
The pair are having "positive discussions" about forming Britain's biggest challenger bank, with double the assets of its closest rival among Britain's smaller lenders.
But even that would represent just over a tenth of the assets of Royal Bank of Scotland, and then face the extra hurdle of years of integration amid stiff competition.
CYBG, which owns Clydesdale and Yorkshire and app-based "B", would be the main bank for around just two percent of high street customers if it merges with Virgin, data from RFi Group shows, compared with around 24 percent for market leader Lloyds Banking Group. (tmsnrt.rs/2Jcwir8)
"The market has been ripe with opportunities for new players for the past 15 years but it hasn't happened, the incumbents have low customer satisfaction but have been protected by very high barriers to entry," said Ed Firth, analyst at KBW.
However, a deal would leave the combined group better placed to combat the hefty technology spending by incumbent players and fresh competition from nimble digital-only banks, which have put mid-sized lenders under pressure to merge in order to survive.
"There's plenty of strategic logic to it," said a top ten Virgin Money investor, adding that it would create one strong challenger and enable the two to combine technology spending.
But they would need to ensure smooth IT integration, especially after TSB's botched data migration caused customer disruption and landed it in trouble with lawmakers.
"What we would have to decide is... do we want to remain a shareholder in the combined entity, and IT risk would definitely be something that would frighten you pretty substantially," the investor told Reuters.
A combined CYBG-Virgin Money would have a market capitalisation of around $5.55 billion, compared with $61 billion for Lloyds and $45 billion for RBS, according to Thomson Reuters data.
For even with efforts to stimulate competition, Britain's banking market is dominated by the four biggest banks after they pursued a series of acquisitions during the financial crisis.
Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and RBS have nearly 70 percent market share among their various brands, RFi data shows, confirming a similar finding in a 2016 Competition and Markets Authority report.
Analysts expect a CYBG and Virgin Money tie-up could herald a fresh wave of consolidation among the so-called challenger banks that have risen up since the crisis.
"There is considerable logic in a single player seeking to consolidate the medium-sized mainstream space over time," John Cronin, analyst at Goodbody, said in a recent note.
CYBG-Virgin would start with around 250 branches, compared with 893 for RBS and 1,795 for Britain's biggest bank Lloyds.
That matters less than it has in the past, as customers switch to digital channels and branches become a burden.
"The world is changing and branches which had been the big barrier to entry in the retail market are no longer as important," Ed Firth, analyst at KBW, said.
Analysts expect the two would make the Virgin Money brand most prominent, thanks to greater public awareness through its ties to high-profile entrepreneur Richard Branson's empire.
