The Loss of Camelot
We had proven ourselves the stronger for it. Coming together during WWII and assembling the finest war machine ever assembled. One, that not only beat Hitler, but also the Italian fascists and Japan. We did it with sure determination, sacrifice and grit. Kennedy symbolized the coming golden age of America. Camelot.

Being Thankful Is A Frame Of Mind
Yet it is well worth the effort to find them as being thankful for the good things nullifies the effect of the bad. It's a focus shift that allows you to see the light at the end of the tunnel instead of the approaching train.

Going All Directions At Once…Oh Look, A Squirrel!
So I built a pull toy of a pickup truck. Except mine had four front-ends going four different directions. No matter which of the four pull cords you pulled it wouldn't go anywhere without dragging. In other words it was a metaphor for how I felt at the time.

First Blog of the New Year, When and Why Did We Lose Our Passion?
Paul Moore just passed away recently. He was 94. He was an educator all his life. I remember him as my redheaded, pipe smoking principal of Warren G. Harding elementary school in East Saint Louis, IL. He was a kind; soft-spoken man who you could tell loved his job. He loved it so much he did it all his life. He had a passion for being an educator.

I am going batty today! I don't know how but bats are a flyin around here! This card is made with the newsprint DSP and pumpkin pie and basic black,the boo was cut from the big shot, I added the rhinestones and bat with black chunky glitter.
This card is made with all the same papers but I added the stamp fleur de lie from the stamp set From the Crypt. The black lace trim adds a nice touch as well as the rhinestones and black chunky glitter.
Here another where I used the From the Crypt fleur de lie for the background to make background paper. Then just punched out the black bat and added some chunky bling glitter. Easy!
So go a little batty today! see what you come up with! xoxo

Ten Top Tips For Choosing Personal Loans
Choosing the right personal loan for your needs can be tricky, and if don't know what you are getting yourself into then you could end up in financial difficulties. Here are some top tips to use when choosing a personal loan: Secured vs. unsecured A secured loan is a loan that is secured against collateral, such as your home. Secured loans have better rates than unsecured loans, but they are more risky because you could lose your home if the repayments are not met. If you are borrowing a small amount of money and have good credit, then go for unsecured loans. Borrow as little as you can over a short period The more money you borrow over a longer period of time, the more interest you are going to pay.
Borrow as little as you can afford to, and pay it back as quickly as you can so that you minimise the interest payments. Fixed vs. variable Most personal loans have fixed interest rates. This means that the monthly repayments will remain the same throughout the loan period. However, some lenders offer variable or flexible loans.
These loans are good if the rate goes down, but remember budget for the rate going up as well. APR APR or Annual Percentage Rates determine the amount of interest you pay yearly on the loan. Although a low APR might seem appealing, be careful because this is not the only charge that you are liable for when paying back your loan. Typical APR If you are comparing APR, then it is good to understand the concept of 'typical' APR. Although you may qualify for this rate, it pays to remember that unless your credit history is good, you will end up paying a higher APR than the typical advertised rate. TAR A better way to look at how much a loan will cost is the TAR or Total Amount Repayable. This will show you exactly how much you will repay to the lender. The lower the TAR then the better the overall package is. Shop around The most important thing to do before getting a loan is to shop around. Before you sign anything, make sure that you have looked at all possibilities for your needs.
If you can separate all the various features of a loan and concentrate on the features you require, you can find the best rates for your needs. Look online Although your bank may have a good deal, most of the best loan deals are to be found online because of the low overhead costs associated with online companies. You can find many web sites that will allow you to compare the best personal loan prices, helping you to get the best deal for your needs. Beware of PPI When securing a loan, it is likely that you will be offered PPI or Payment Protection Insurance. This insurance covers your payments in case of illness, accident or unemployment. Although this insurance may help you, very few people are eligible to claim under its terms, and it is very expensive. Look to see if your current employer covers some of these items, or find a cheaper stand-alone policy that will cover you. Early settlement Nearly three quarters of all loans are paid off early, so it pays to know the charges for doing so. Although charges can still be high, more and more lenders are scrapping the charges altogether. Finding a lender that does not charge for early repayment might save you a lot of money.

Former Beauty Queen Charged With Child Abuse After Breastfeeding Her Baby. The Reason Why Will Leave You Speechless!
Former beauty queen and TV news reporter Krystin Rae Lisaius has been charged with child abuse after breastfeeding her 4-month-old just 12 hours after doing cocaine.
Along with her husband, Somchai Lisaius, and a friend identified in the police report as Thomas, the 26-year-old snorted cocaine on the night of May 14 after returning home from a get-together. After putting the baby to sleep, Krystin then did "just one line".
When she breastfed the baby the next morning, the child became lethargic and hard to wake. They then rushed the baby to the hospital, but when medical personnel said they'd need to take a blood test, they left with the child against advice of staff. The parents later brought the baby to a second hospital, where they again refused a blood test. However, the staff were able to determine via a urine sample that the child had cocaine in its system.
Social workers and police then interviewed the couple, and while both initially denied ingesting the drug, Krystin eventually admitted that she ingested the drug. Police also found cocaine residue throughout the couple's home and a bag containing approximately 1.58 grams of the drug.
The couple have been charged with child abuse, possession of a dangerous drug, and drug paraphernalia. They have pled not guilty.

This guy's works are epic, and he just released this video today. I watched through it, and realized that this, in many ways, resembles a Mez 'Khar, when I first imagined them.
The only difference of course is that the face is more pale skin, like a fleshy color, and their skin is scaly. The nose holes and everything else you see is almost exactly like I imagined.
That isn't to say that he stole my work or any of that, I just thought the similarities that sparked in my mind when I saw this were cool.
Also note that Mez 'Khar don't always have that face mask on, unless they are on their home planet, which is where we will be visiting in this story.

Whether you are on a weight loss program or just trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, there are those days where you just want something that isn't so healthy or diet legal e.g. chocolate, cake, chips…But should you really be having these?
The answer is….YES! Now before you get the pizza and tub of ice cream out, there is a 'but' to consider first.
The truth is, whether you are losing weight or maintaining it, you do have to allow for some treats. If you don't, then eventually you'll end up craving and over eating them. So make an allowance for a treat or 2 weekly. Here comes the but…But have some guidelines around them to keep your 'treat-ing' under control. Here's some tips:
- Keep the portion size small e.g. a mini chocolate bar (20-30g) or mini muffin or fun size pack of chips
- Only buy small portions sizes or single serves – avoid having numerous serves in the house – if it's there, temptation can get the better of you (this happens to me when I have a big jar of Nutella in the house)
- Limit the number of times you have this during the week. Choose perhaps 2 days of the week that you will have this and have your treat then. I recommend having 1 day earlier in the week and the other later in the week, that way if something comes up and you have both treats earlier in the week you just eliminate the day later in the week
- Find some healthier snack alternatives that you enjoy and can have instead of your treat, these are especially good to have on the days you don't have your treat or when you are craving it. Some alternatives could be yoghurt, dried fruit & nuts, nut bar etc
- When eating your treat, eat it slowly and really enjoy it
- Only choose treats that you really enjoy and that are worth the additional kilojoules / calories. There's no point eating an inferior treat as it just won't hit the spot and you'll want something else.
Overall enjoy your treat day and learn to incorporate in into your lifestyle in a way you can maintain long-term. We all need treats sometimes so don't eliminate it, just control it.

Reviewed by Jaimie
Jem is a standalone book by new to me author Michelle Abbott and based on the blurb, I wanted to love this one, but I just couldn't. Jem was a horribly abused child and the only person to ever show him kindness was Devon – his angel. Although he was only 4 and she was only 7, the two built a friendship that gave Jem something to hold on to. When Devon tries to help him, he is taken away suddenly and she has not seen him since.
Flash forward 14 years and a now 18-year-old Jem has broken free of his abusive father and brother. He works in an arcade and shares his trailer with another broken soul. On the beach one day he sees Devon and instantly recognizes her only she has no idea who he is. The two slowly get reacquainted but she does not know that he is the boy she thinks about all the time.
Where to start – I liked that we got to see the two as children at the beginning of the book, but the conversation in no way sounded like any conversation I've heard between a 4 and 7-year-old. The dialogue felt too grown up. On the flip side of that, the internal dialogue that they had as "adults" felt way too childish and I found myself skimming through those parts.
It is understandable that Jem had a strong attachment to Devon considering that she was the only person to have ever shown him kindness. At times, though, it came off as obsessive instead of sweet. Devon kept a picture of Jem, thought about him all the time, but didn't recognize him even when he called her angel – the same name he used as a child. She's also on the run from an abusive boyfriend but she hangs out with Jem and allows him around her son without asking his name until over halfway through the book.
There were a few things I liked about the book, so it wasn't all bad. I did like the friendship she developed with the couple next door and I liked that Jem kicked her abusive ex-boyfriend's ass. That was a satisfying moment. Unfortunately the flow of the book was so choppy and it shifted direction suddenly with no segway so it made it hard to enjoy those good parts. I also liked the fact that they got their happily ever after since they had been through a lot.
Overall I was not a fan of this book despite a great blurb. I was too distracted by the childish dialogue and choppy writing style to actually enjoy the plot and characters.

Va. Gov. orders review of textbook process
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) said Tuesday that he's ordered a full review of the state's textbook adoption process, in the wake of the discovery that a three-teacher state panel approved a history book for 4th grade use that included a claim that thousands of African-Americans fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Professional historians have said the claim -- which the author of "Our Virginia: Past and Present" has said she found using Internet resources largely written by the Sons of Confederate Veterans -- is not accurate.
In his first public comments on the textbook situation, McDonnell said on WTOP's Ask the Governor radio program that he was "very disappointed" to learn of the situation. He called the claim an "error" that is "outside the historical mainstream."
He noted that the textbook publisher has distributed stickers to teachers to cover up the inaccurate section of the book. He said teachers have said they like the remainder of the book but that the book should not have been approved for use in Virginia classrooms given the passage.
-- Rosalind Helderman

Series Description
The Angie TV show was a 30 minute comedy series on ABC with a great theme song. It was about a coffee shop waitress (Angie) who felt sorry for a customer (Brad) who she thought was poor and, therefore, gave him some free pastries. When it turned out that he was actually a doctor from a rich family, they fell in love and got married. This was not the typical "Cinderella" story, however, as Angie was not "taken" with the rich lifestyle. After a brief stay in Brad's huge mansion, she convinced him to move to a smaller house and live more like average Americans. Angie even kept working at the coffee shop (although she did buy it).

Not only are they a scam that you have to pay into to have a secure web site, but all CA entities are trusted equally, even though some are shady as shit. Any CA can issue a certificate for any domain, and that certificate is automatically valid because it came from a "trusted" authority. Which means that _some_shady_CA can issue a trusted certificate for google.com and that certificate automatically becomes trusted by any browser surfing to it. There have been lots of documented incidents where hackers and repressive regimes use forged certificates from a shady CA to implement man-in-the-middle attacks against users who think they are browsing securely.
What's wrong with this picture: Large corporations given these CA contracts by politicians, with every web site on earth as a captive audience are responsible for creating trust on the web.
As broken as SSL is, currently it's the only game in town. Right now the two biggest problems:
1. Cost - Certificates are priced out of what small companies and individuals with web sites can afford to pay.
2. Trust - Most trusted certificate authorities don't seem that trustworthy, even though the entire system is based on their trust, which they sell for money.
Let's Encrypt
A new Certificate Authority has been created in conjunction with the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) and a few other companies that give a flying fish about our privacy. It's a short list of good guys on the Internet, and the EFF is at the top of that list.
This site when it goes live will offer SSL certificates for free! A certificate I can afford from a CA that is actually trustworthy ... it doesn't sound right, but I'm exited that this may actually come to fruition.
Assuming it goes live, now small blogs and shops like me can offer the safety of encryption without borrowing money from relatives to afford being gouged for the certificates we need to have to make it happen.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Indianapolis police are investigating a series of smash and grabs around a popular north side shopping center.
In the last three days, the IMPD has taken three theft reports of cars being broken into near The Fashion Mall at Keystone. More than a half dozen other reports have been taken near Castleton and along 86th Street this week.
In each case this week, the suspect smashed the car windows. Some of the victims made a common mistake of leaving laptops and other electronics in plain sight. Police say it's a crime they see every day, but especially around the holidays.
Parking in the lot outside Benihana, one customer finished his lunch and got some bad news.
"Some guy walked up and said some guy broke into someone's car and I thought that can't be me, but it was me," said Dave Smiley.
Smiley, a longtime radio host in Indianapolis, says video surveillance shows the driver of a gray car pull up next to a red SUV. After backing into the space, the suspect peered inside the window and eventually broke the back glass stealing a laptop, camera and more.
"It`s kind of grainy and hard to see, but you can see there was one person. They walked alongside of the car, looked in window and broke window grabbed it and ran," said Smiley.
After sharing his story on air, Smiley learned he's not alone.
"We talked about it on the radio and one lady called in and said one guy she believes has been breaking into cars all along 86th Street," said Smiley.
Indianapolis police say during the upcoming holiday season the department will step up patrols around retail areas to scare off potential criminals.
For his part, Smiley is characteristically upbeat even after his theft. In fact, the red Tahoe that had the back window busted wasn't even his. It was a loaner from a dealership.
"I'm gonna be fine. I'll call insurance and I'm sure I'll get a new laptop out of this," laughed Smiley.
Still, police say it's important to remember leaving valuables in plain sight inside your car is a bad idea. That's a lesson Smiley learned the hard way.
"Don't do what I did. Make sure you throw a blanket over your stuff. Don`t let it sit out where people can see it," said Smiley.
This is not the first year IMPD has stepped up holiday patrols. They say in addition to hiding your valuables, it's also important for people to report any suspicious activity they see in parking lots.

The main exit of the Neukölln S-Bahn Station takes you out onto Karl-Marx-Straße. Walking through Karl-Marx-Platz and on the other side you'll find Richardplatz with the distinctive Bethlehemskirche, the center of the old Bohemian-Rixdorf Village, and still a beloved part of Berlin history with its small town feel. The smithy in the center of the square is still in use, and houses a women's center and art gallery in its old living quarters. Locals and children populate the square in the warmer months. This location offers good shopping for daily needs. The numerous and varied dining options, cafes offer a rich cuisine. The underground and S-Bahn stations and various buses 171, 246 and 277 are within walking distance.Quaint paving stones, beer gardens and café terraces under dense foliage of many trees, historic village center with old forge and around Wilhelminian style buildings: The Richardkiez in Neukölln Rixdorf is one of the oldest parts of Berlin and is one of the most popular residential areas of the city.Every now and then a stage is set up somewhere and music sounds through the streets, whether at intercultural neighborhood festivals or events like the Rixdorfer Festspiele. A highlight to which not only Neuköllner, but Berliners from all over the city, is the Alt-Rixdorfer Christmas market. Then it smells like candied apples on the illuminated Richardplatz, grilled sausage and mulled wine, and artisans and small merchants offer treasures for pre-Christmas shopping. Incidentally, Berlin's most popular green area, the Tempelhofer Feld, can be reached in just ten minutes by bike. Where once an airport was housed, Berliners today go longboarding and kitesurfing, fly kites, run urban gardening or barbecues. The sunsets on the wide open space are breath-taking. Currently, the street and its immediate environment is developing into one of the most popular scene highlights and even overtaking the very popular Weserstraße.

Taipei, Oct. 29 (CNA) Taiwan has contacted Apple Inc. over its new map app, which lists the country as a province of China, and has demanded that a correction be made, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said Tuesday.The ministry instructed its office in San Francisco to issue the demand after noticing that the country is listed as "Taiwan Province, China" in simplified Chinese characters in the map app recently launched along with Apple's mobile and desktop operating systems, said Kelly Hsieh, head of the ministry's Department of North American Affairs.This clearly does not match the reality and degrades Taiwan, he said during a regular ministry briefing."We'll make every effort on this issue. No compromise will be made over this kind of matter," Hsieh said.The U.S.-based company officially released iOS 7 for its mobile devices -- iPhones and iPads -- Sept. 18, while Mac OS X Mavericks has been available for download for desktop and laptop users since Oct. 23.On Apple's website, by contrast, Taiwan is listed in the traditional Chinese characters used here without the word "province" or "China" attached.Taiwan is sensitive about how it is described, as it is often listed as a province of China, although the communist government in Beijing has never ruled the island.

Love trains. Seems silly to have rail lines being abandoned while more highways are built for multiple trips and vehicles. I'm a realist and I know we can't go back to a time when folks do all their regional travel by train, but we need to consider using them more often for trips, not just for commuting. Trains provide local jobs and a full train produces less pollution than the equivalent in vehicles on the roads. I hope the
predictions they are coming back turns out to be true.

An octogenarian (almost nonagenarian) friend who's terminally ill has asked me to buy him some more of the lutein and vitamin supplement tablets we've both been taking for our macular disease. He started taking them, at my suggestion, after spinach began to disagree with him. They won't have any effect before he dies, but I shall buy them anyway. I wish I could buy him something to stop the bed sores from hurting, the crumbling bones from aching, and to hasten his freedom from a body that's gradually rotting away.

Worship: For Heaven's Sake "The safest and surest way to dissipate the darkness of error, is to throw upon it the searchlight of truth–giving a clear and Biblical understanding. This principle applies to the sanctuary." Just as Moses anointed the holy places of the sanctuary before Aaron began his high priestly ministry, Jesus for the same purpose, entered the holy places of the heavenly sanctuary immediately after his resurrection. And He received from God the Father, the approval of His sacrifice for humankind. "Doubtless an understanding of the spiritual significance of the earthly sanctuary and its relation to the true tabernacle would have saved the Hebrew nation from rejecting Christ and the truth regarding His work in the true sanctuary, just as it will save God's people today from error and defeat."
(For further details and to sing with Pastor Flemons Hymn 294, "Power in the Blood" please listen to the recording, and read Hebrews 9:3, 7, 12; Acts 3:19; Exodus 40:9, 12, 13; John 20:17; Luke 24:39.
Wellness: For Health's Sake Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness, read a letter received from a former guest who praises the TOR staff for help in overcoming impending death from full-blown AIDS sixteen years prior. The former guest is still enjoying great health and a productive life. Pastor Flemons presented also a brief talk on AIDs and what it really is and said that AIDs is easier to treat than cancer. He recommended we view "The House of Numbers," the 2009 multiple award winner in the category of Best Documentary Feature. Quoting its own website, "It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based."
Pastor Flemons also discussed the difference between naturopathy and biblical wellness and presented a reading on natural healing, which appears in full below. (Read more below.)

You know these sites? For only $39.95 you can get information on who your
daughter is dating without anyone knowing. Buy now, buy on-line, no delays.
For only $69.99 you can have annual membership into historical data of all people
who have ever lived available on-line now.
Sometimes the data quality is simply wrong ... but it is "Public Data" but from where?
Compare their marketing statements versus their Disclaimers. You may be amazed
that the information is provided for a fee is it providing value based on their
Disclaimers? Has the Disclaimer removed any or all of your needed value?
There was a time in late 2016 and early 2017 you could do a Google, Bing or other
search on a name and find some websites responding automatically provide their age.
No one had an exposure risk in using a browser because they never accessed those
sites ... the Browser took them there (perhaps the new version of "My dog ate my
homework ... I'm not responsible").
Official Government Data is always correct ... right? Government Data is not a "Gold
Standard" for data as "Official Government Records" contain inaccurate information.
Clerks fail to complete forms, mistype information, or "fabricate" facts when the real
information was found, remembered or other reasons. This is the likely cause for data
showing a legal residence of a city when they never had a residence in that city.
There are cases where people with unique names are reported to have been legal
residents of states where they had never traveled to.
Law Enforcement records and Voter Registration Records have had challenges for
decades as some who are arrested only provide an "Alias" during booking. Upon
release, they can register under their actual name with nothing that ties their Alias
with the Felony Charges preventing the Voter Registration from catching the issue.
Government fears a legal challenge due to the inability to clearly prove their case and
the risk of expensive settlements.
You do not have to be Doctor Frankenstein to create a person ... just create on on-line
or on a formal document... there is no apparent law against it. Two "fictional" people
reside at my residence. One was from a repeated error by a financial institution that
apparently made it into the public arena and became a "real person" by virtue of a
name on an unsigned legal document and no checking if the person really existed.
Papers with the incorrect name were never signed, the name just became public.
Another was from a gap created to increase profits by an organization that receives
potentially thousands of personal information on people daily. Someone apparently
sold the information and created a person in the process from "fictional" data.
By law in the United States, and one presumes other countries, there is a legal limit of
ONE for each Birth Certificate and ONE for each Death Certificate. We one of each.
Yet a major website operator offering genealogical data apparently has a different view
of this or they are not "big" into validity checking data. One person is reported by this
operator as having 4 Death Certificates and 8 Birth Certificates and you can view them
by making a payment for access. Are they they same document, are they different
people, does this explain multiple personalities? Whatever the reasons are, it has yet
to be corrected over multiple years.

Full Biography
John and Narelle Canaan facilitate the "Path of Peace" relationships seminars, workshops and life coaching.
John got his start in the field of relationships by writing music about relationships as a college student at BYU. During his college years, John also realized that he possessed a gift for relationships coaching. Even his ex-girlfriends would come to him for advice. Dr. Elmer Knowles, seeing John's gifts, invited him to do be a guest lecturer in many of his classes.
Meanwhile, as time went on, John's relationships music was gathering momentum. What If I Loved You (one of John's original songs) became the #1 song throughout the Utah & Idaho area in the early 80's. You're Not Alone, another recording of John's (written by Michael McLean) became an international success and was sent out to millions by the LDS church. During John's music days he also played warm-up for Kenny Loggins, the Pointer Sisters and did many TV & radio interviews.
Realizing, however, that his real love continued to be teaching relationships principles, John eventually focused on workshops and coaching over singing and recording. John's experience as a Life Coach started with Dr. Denis Waitley's "Winning For Life" team in Salt Lake City. He has also presented with Dr. John Gray ("Men Are From Mars & Women From Venus") and Dr. John Lund ("How to Hug a Porcupine"). John started "Path of Peace" relationships training in 1997.
Narelle was born and raised in Australia, moved to Utah in 1985 and became a U.S. citizen. She loves both countries & is proud to be an Australian/American! Narelle's is passionate about being a Mother, "Smommy" (to her step kids) and Grandmother. As a life coach Narelle is gifted in supporting people toward healing, wholeness and life balance.
After serving his church for 2 years in Australia as a young man, John often mused on how fun it might be to marry an Australian. (Wow! Mission accomplished.) John describes his marriage to Narelle as God's 2nd chance for him to get it right and considers Narelle to be a "bouquet of flowers" (as a friend of his put it), right from heaven. John and Narelle often tell people that "everyday is like Christmas" for them, despite the typical challenges of this life (as if any of our challenges are "typical"!). "It is possible," Narelle says "to wake up every day, in love! - not just with your husband- but just in love- and with gratitude for everything!"

When in Las Vegas I had the opportunity to meet with Bill King, the inventor of the KingPano panoramic head. Over a coffee we talked about the development of the head, where he is going with it from here, and my experience and observations while using it. I have used it world-wide for a couple of years shooting over 3,000 panoramas, and found it a light weight, sturdy and inexpensive alternative to other professional panoramic heads available.
Recent reviews put the KingPano as a suitable alternative to the Manfrotto MN303SPH panoramic head, and I agree. For a start it is much cheaper, much lighter and comes with little compromise compared to the Manfrotto system.
Developed over several years, the KingPano and has gone through more than 40 designs. The current version is made of durable Acrylic, with a stop-click base. I have previously reviewed the Panosaurus, and much prefer the KingPano to it. The feel is more solid, it is lighter weight and has a click stop base, which the Panosaurus does not. Similarly, the vertical arm of the KingPano feels more solid than that of the Panosaurus when attached to the base.
The KingPano also comes with a leveling device attached (unlike many rivals). This is a three-ring device, which I am not particularly fond and find fiddly to use. I also found that this was not the most solid system, and at points there was too much flex. Instead, I prefer to use a ball and socket system, such as the Manfrotto 438, which allows you to lock the camera in place with one switch (although this does add to the weight). Bill was kind enough to make me a head without his leveling system, and this has worked a dream.
One of the drawbacks of the current KingPano is that the camera mount has to be unscrewed from the horizontal arm of the tripod each time it is used. This can be a real pain, especially if you are taking a number of images from different locations, but need to set down between shots for transport. In the end I adapted my mounting arm from the Panosaurus and used that.
The other drawback was that the set-up is shorter than the Panosaurus, so could not be set up accurately for the use of zoom lenses. Both systems have problems shooting the vertical zenith shot of spherical panoramas as the attaching screw for the camera can protrude (the Panosaurus has the option of using a recessed screw, but again this leads to a time consuming, more fiddly, set down after each shot).
Bill listened eagerly to my observations, and has big plans for the future. He is setting up a workshop which will make future models in metal, will have a quick release for the camera and overcome the zenith shot issues. He is also considering changing the leveling system and extending the length of the arms. Considering himself a perfectionist, I look forward to having a go with the next model. By then I expect it will rapidly become the panorama head of choice for many.

Sounds like you've had a great experience with KingPano. Mine is much more recent (2012) and I've had nothing but grief trying to get a product delivered.
I ordered mine in January and since then have had nothing but trouble getting Bill King to respond, and when he does, he promises to send it in a few days. All these days and empty promises have had me give on ever receiving the Pano head.
It's now May 2012 and I'm still 'waiting'. Save your money and shop elsewhere.

MyRedBook's Many Shades of Gray
I've seen the beginnings, and the end – what was MyRedBook, and why all the noise?

New amateur pornographers are changing the face of self-produced porn from refuge of the desperate and exploited to a joyful expression of sexuality you can be proud to masturbate to… and a hell of an exciting ride.
I personally enjoyed what I did a great deal, but YMMV. Here are some pluses and minuses of adult entertainment work – draw your own conclusions.
CybernetExpo: Whether you're looking for a tech job in Adult internet industry, a hosting space for your naughty website, an adult modeling gig, or simply to ogle and drool, you can't go wrong. Event schedule & how to find me.
The glimpses of the world of escorts and full-body masseuses the "mainstream" audience sees are usually the lurid articles of illicit lust and underage sex slaves. So, if it's all so horrible, why do we do it again and again?

If you've ever listened to KUNM's Sunday afternoon program "Singing Wire," you may have already heard Black Eagle. Since 1989, this Grammy award-winning group from the Pueblo of Jemez has been performing traditional and original Powwow songs in the Towa language.
It's easy to get carried away when you talk to Tom Frouge and Neal Copperman. The two music promoters are easygoing, friendly and focused. They're also very big on ideas. So big, in fact, that they had the audacity to conceive, plan and execute the biggest "world music" event ever to grace an Albuquerque stage—all in the span of just nine months. It's an amazing feat. Still, organizing Globalquerque almost sounds easy once you get talking to them.

I try to get this up again (once more), on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly base (depends on how much time I get to actually read something out there in the internet). Hope it works out better this time 😉
Cisco´s CiscoLive365
This has probably become one of my number one ressources for knowledge (not sure if Google is in front or directly behind it). Cisco offers a direct access to (nearly) all presentations from the different Cisco Live meetings across the world, and its for free. Whenever I´m in need for information on a new topic (which happens quite often) or have to review something I´ve learned somewhen, this is the place I go first.
Cisco´s SMART Business Architecture
Another usesfull ressource from Cisco is their SMART Business Architecture which contains Borderless Networks, Data Center and Colaboration Design Support and Guidelines. I currently use it as a base to refresh my Design/Best Practice knowledge, to prepare for Design Workshops with customer and as a base for an Assessment I am developing.

Author: E.L Doctrow
Publisher: Little Brown
Release Date: April 2011
Pages: 272
An astonishing book of short fiction by one of America's finest writers, the author of The March, Ragtime, and Homer & Langley.
A wedge is driven between a husband and wife when a mysterious stranger arrives, claiming to have grown up in their home. After agreeing to marry a beautiful, headstrong Russian immigrant in exchange for a promotion, a bus boy turned waiter finds himself entangled in a web of organised crime. A strange confluence of circumstances at the end of an ordinary workday causes a man to go off the grid, living off what he can forage in the same affluent suburb where he once lived comfortably with his family. These and the other mesmerising works of short fiction in this collection are resonant with the mystery, tension, beauty, and insight that distinguish E. L. Doctorow's novels. Containing six new stories that have never appeared in book form, and a selection of previous Doctorow classics, All the Time in the World affords us another opportunity to savor the genius of this American master.
E L Doctorow s work is published in thirty languages. Among his honours are the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award (twice), the PEN/Faulkner Award and the presidentially conferred National Humanities Medal. He lives and works in New York.
Previous Books:
Homer and Langley, Sweet Land Stories, The March, City of God
E.L.Doctorow is well known in the publishing industry for both the long and short forms of writing and across a range of styles and genres. This collection of stories is no exception to this reputation. The theme of the stories revolves around troubled individuals struggling to make sense of their lives in a society that exalts individualism over community.
Here we find a collection of both male and female protagonists spanning across one hundred and fifty years in America. The current collection contains six stories that appeared either in Sweet Land Stories or in Lives of the Poets. The four remaining six stories, including one later adapted for his novel City of God, were first published in The New Yorker.

We've all seen stories we'd really like to enact in real life but we know we could never accomplish. Just because a MILF wants a little attention, it doesn't mean she wants it with me and that's just one story. There are many stories with many combinations that are all decent situations that consentual adults can get themselves into and adults don't.
When I was a teenager, I didn't want to participate in the corruption of my peers. Between teens and twenty-two, I wasn't sure I wanted to corrupt myself. But a couple years of Penthouse subscriptions have led me to believe there's an attainable world that we choose not to live in. All we don't want are the consequences. We don't want social ostrazation. We don't want to become parents or get diseased from our adventures. We don't want to hurt people we love and who count on us. And we don't even want to replace our primaries.
Think of all those stories: cheating wives, multiple partners, alternative one offs. In each one of those stories, the people acknowledge their consent and their interest and go on to have experiences I can only vicariously experience through internet fiction or said Penthouse subscriptions.
Before I get too far, I should point out that personalities really matter. I really don't think a random combination of bodies is going to result in what most people are looking for. And I don't think that living the story is a sustainable thing. I see those stories as possible only given a series of unlikely events conspiring.
However, I think these stories are more possible than my experience leads me to believe. There could to be a series of non suggestive appearing signals like minded people can use to establish the important details of a potential rendezvous. The sign language should reveal any complications such as diseases or fertility. Naturally I think there are ethics involved. If you're in a relationship, I don't think you should be snacking on the side. Any unmet hunger should definitely be communicated and resolved as a team. I think if you are in the right relationship and the right side story were to present itself, everybody of interest would be green lighting the event.
Anyway, we've had enough Puritanical nonsense. We've had enough genderism simultaneously worshiping and obsessing over the rights a woman has to her story parts. It's time to adopt an adult way to communicate a little more with people who qualify to make certain stories possible.

From a guest turn on a soap opera to performing a wedding to being able to connect myself to Sir Laurence Olivier, Elvis and Anne Hathaway, among others, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"-style, it's been a wild but random ride, to say the least.
But it doesn't get more random than my appearance Tuesday on "Dancing with the Stars," where I am, in fact, not actually dancing (ABC, 9 p.m. ET, but check your local listings).
I was as shocked as you that I'm doing the show, but it makes sense once you hear the idea. I'm doing something where I'm using the same research style, trend-spotting and statistical analysis I use in fantasy sports to give my predictions on whom I think will finish in the top three and ultimately win. I appear with Season 8 contestant and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. He has created a mathematical formula to predict his winner. (Hint: He's a lot brainier than me.)
I am well aware that I am getting to do this (and everything else) not because of me, but because of the popularity and reach of both ESPN and fantasy sports (did you know that, according to research by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, 30 million people now play fantasy sports?) but if you've read me for any amount of time, you know I'm not proud. Do I care what the reason is? Hell no. I was thrilled to be asked.
Honestly, the show's a guilty pleasure. Good-looking people, fun costumes, sexy dances, funny judges and good old-fashioned competition. Watching it, it's easy to see why it's been such a monster hit. So this past week, I went for it. Studied like it was my college entrance exam, except this time I cared.
Did you know that, of the past 48 contestants eliminated from the show, 54 percent of them were wearing red or black? That no contestant over the age of 37 has ever won? That dancer Cheryl Burke has more "30s" (the highest score you can get from the judges) than anyone else?
How about the fact that, in previous seasons, Wayne Newton and Adam Carolla were both eliminated while sporting a mustache? That four of the eight winners were born in May? That contestant Joanna Krupa is crazy hot? (Some of the facts are more obvious than others).
I delved into Season 9 and learned everything I could, not just about the show, but about this season's contestants. Singers/entertainers like Mya, Aaron Carter, Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne. Athletes like Michael Irvin, Chuck Liddell, Natalie Coughlin and Louie Vito. Actresses Debi Mazar and Melissa Joan Hart, model Joanna Krupa, Iron Chef star Mark Dacascos and politician Tom DeLay.
And as I talked to folks about what I was doing, one consistent question came up.
UFC fans (and there are millions upon millions of them) know exactly who Liddell is, but trust me, the average sports fan who isn't into UFC has no idea. Vito is an X Games star, but my dad, a huge sports fan, has never heard of him. I've never seen an episode of "Iron Chef." but there are foodies all over the world who love Dacascos. I'm guessing millions of people have stared at pictures of Krupa, but not nearly as many know her name.
None of them, except maybe Irvin or Osmond, are famous as defined by my friend, Greg Erb. His definition is simply this: If a person is known by people who would not necessarily know them, they are famous. Like, even if you are not a fan of pop music and never listen to top 40 radio, you've heard of Madonna. She's famous. People who have never watched a basketball game in their life know who Michael Jordan is. He's famous. But unless you are a hoops fan, you've probably never heard of Baron Davis. He's not famous. That sort of thing.
I think that's a bit too narrow, but whether Greg is right or wrong, it's not the point. The show is not called "Dancing with the Famous." It's called "Dancing with the Stars."
And every single person on the show, to a select group of people, is a star. Star of MTV or C-Span, of Food Network or the X Games, they are really well-known and very important to a certain group of people.
I recently did an event with Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate of "The Howard Stern Show." More people than not walked by him, totally unaware of who he was. But the people who recognized him? They were very, very, very excited. The people who are fans of Howard (and I'm among them) would rather meet someone from that cast than some famous movie star. Gary's not famous, but he is a star.
And that's what we are doing here. We are well past the famous part of the season. Adrian Peterson, Drew Brees and Randy Moss are long gone. We're looking for stars. Players that will be important and meaningful to your team. You may need more wide receiver depth or a bye week quarterback. One more running back or a reliable tight end. Not big names, just someone who will be important to your team, even if nobody else in your league has interest in them.
Which brings us, a cha-cha and samba later, to this week's column. And to my editor, who challenged my ability to link "Dancing with the Stars" to fantasy football pickups: In your face. Never again underestimate my ability to connect random things by a tenuous thread.
Don't look back in anger:
"Once more, with feeling."
Here are some guys that I have suggested you pick up in previous columns like last week's, who are still available in way too many leagues and whom should be picked up before any of the guys listed below. I've listed them in the order I would claim them.
Glen Coffee, RB, 49ers (58 percent), Mike Sims-Walker, WR, Jaguars (38 percent), Tashard Choice, RB, Cowboys (41 percent), Jerome Harrison, RB, Browns (2 percent), Brent Celek, TE, Eagles (57 percent), Nate Burleson, WR, Seahawks (42 percent), Pierre Garcon, WR, Colts (38 percent). By the way, I'm not doing an obvious name section today, but if I were, Antonio Bryant, WR, Buccaneers (80 percent) would be at the top of it.
With that, we go to the new names. As always, ownership percentages in ESPN.com 10-team standard leagues are listed in parentheses. Reminder: This week's byes are for the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers. That's three of the top five quarterbacks so far who will be sitting out, by the way.
Pickups of the week
"Say baby, if you were fast food, you'd be a McGorgeous."
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Steelers (37 percent): A funny thing happened on the way to Dumpsville. A week after Mendenhall got zero carries, and his head coach called him out for not knowing the plays, two big things happened. Willie Parker got turf toe and Mendenhall was contrite and promised to do better. And better he did do. Crazy game for anyone, even against the porous Chargers defense. He had 191 total yards and two scores. For the three previous games, Parker had 203 total yards and one touchdown. Now, as of this writing. I don't know the health status of Parker, but I do know that Mendenhall will be part of the offense going forward and that they play Detroit this week.
And considering the Detroit matchup, Mewelde Moore, RB, Steelers (3 percent) will be the third-down back regardless of Parker's health. And with Cleveland next up in Week 6, he's an interesting name for deeper leagues.
Nate Washington, WR, Titans (14 percent): Truthfully, he should be in the "Don't look back" section since I've talked about him so much in the preseason and before. But it's a been a while, he's still available in tons of leagues, and most importantly, he has now scored in three straight games. He had seven receptions for 66 yards and a score in Week 4, and he had 12 targets before leaving the game after getting hit. We'll see how severe the injury is (my guess is he is fine), but he's the Tennessee receiver I want the most, ahead of Justin Gage (53 percent) and Kenny Britt (9 percent), who despite having a big game in Week 4 and leading the Titans in targets this season, I still don't entirely trust.
San Francisco 49ers D/ST (30 percent): Yes, they had a crazy game, leading the Week 4 scoring leaders with 39 fantasy points in ESPN standard scoring. But here's the thing. Prior to Sunday, they were eighth in fantasy scoring among defenses, one point ahead of the Baltimore Ravens and one point behind the New Orleans Saints. The Falcons come to town, and then it's a bye, but check out how they end the season: Starting in Week 12, they get the Jaguars, Seahawks, Cardinals, Eagles, Lions and Rams. Only the Eagles present a real problem. It's a good, aggressive defense and I like them a lot.
Incidentally, I don't want to waste a whole lot of time here on this subject, but I also like the Denver Broncos D/ST (51 percent), Cincinnati Bengals D/ST (23 percent) and Indianapolis Colts D/ST (14 percent).
Sidney Rice, WR, Vikings (6 percent): A touchdown in two straight weeks, Favre has been looking for him (22 targets on the year) and they get St. Louis this week. Sometimes it's that simple.
Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Browns (0.2 percent): Sure, you like the eight receptions in Week 4. The 148 receiving yards aren't bad either. But it's the 13 targets that jump out at me, especially when compared to the five targets that Braylon Edwards got. Normally, you'd write off a game like this as a fluke and I'm not totally sold yet. But the reason I have one eyebrow raised (What? You're not here. I might be able to do that.) is that it was Derek Anderson's first game this season as the starting quarterback for the Browns. We know Cleveland is going to be down and throwing and it's not a stretch to assume more double coverage for Edwards. Which means this could happen again. My guess is we've just seen Massaquoi's best game of the year, but it's worth a bench spot to find out if I'm wrong.
Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers (41 percent): I've been saying for a while that he's a guy that you want as a matchup play, but that I don't trust him week in and week out. But with three scores in two weeks and Shaun Hill looking for him (he now leads the 49ers in targets), he needs to be owned in every league. As for starting him, he's still a matchup play, but he's got another great one this week. Atlanta comes to town and the Falcons have already given up two touchdowns to tight ends in three games.
Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seahawks (66 percent): If he was dropped in your league, this is a good week to pick him back up. He's going to try to practice on Wednesday and start this week. If he does, he picked a good week to come back as Seattle faces Jacksonville. Only four teams give up more fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks than the Jags. I also really like Seneca Wallace, QB, Seahawks (1 percent) as a spot start if Hasselbeck can't go.
Desperation plays
"They all look better at closing time"
If you're really stuck for a bye week quarterback, here are some guys that are available in a lot of leagues who have decent matchups for this week only. In order, I'd pick up: Seneca Wallace/Matt Hasselbeck (vs. Jacksonville) ; Matt Cassell (vs. Dallas); Derek Anderson (vs Buffalo); Mark Sanchez (at Miami); Kerry Collins (vs. Indianapolis); Shaun Hill (vs. Atlanta) and Jason Campbell (at Carolina).
Just below the Mendoza Line:
"Missed it by that much."
It's a baseball saying, but it's appropriate here as well. Here are some guys who shouldn't be picked up (except in deeper leagues) but whom I like and you should keep an eye on.
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions had 10 targets Sunday on his way to a 4-for-64 day. He's a nice pass-catching tight end and rookie quarterbacks tend to like those, especially when they are down and having to throw or get hit. ... I don't think you can really trust any Patriots running back, but our old friend Sammy Morris, RB, Patriots, scored last week and had 11 touches for 56 yards as well. ... If you're looking to handcuff Maurice Jones-Drew, or want to screw over whoever owns him, Rashad Jennings, RB, Jaguars, is the guy you want. He had nine touches for 53 yards on Sunday. ... His teammate, TE Mercedes Lewis, has a score in two of the past three weeks and a decent matchup in Week 5 against Seattle. Lewis, believe it or not, is tied for ninth overall among fantasy tight end scorers so far.
Chris Brown was sick, so I'm not putting too much into it, but Ryan Moats, RB, Texans, did look decent in relief of Steve Slaton with a 15-for-56 day… With Darren McFadden out for the next two to four weeks, I'm even more down on the Raiders than I thought possible. I can't imagine a scenario in which I'd actually want to start one, but if you need someone, I rank Michael Bush, RB, Raiders, over Justin Fargas, RB, Raiders.
There's just not enough balls to go around, so I'm not ready to jump on Austin Collie, WR, Colts, just yet, but he did have 6-for-65 and a score on Sunday. ... From the "he's all they have" category, Donnie Avery, WR, Rams, seems healthy, at least. ... Peyton Hillis, RB, Broncos, is a guy I've always liked who might get more of a shot if Correll Buckhalter's injury keeps him out this weekend. ... Domenik Hixon, WR, Giants, is going to come back soon and be better, from a fantasy perspective.
Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: You
Nate and I have discussed this on our podcast the past two days. With so many running back by committees these days plus rookies and other guys emerging, folks are having to actually cut good players (or players with a lot of upside) to make it possible to fill in on bye weeks.
As always, I am not saying you should dump these players, but rather if you need/want to drop these players, I wouldn't try to talk you out of it. You'll see some repeat names from previous weeks. So, in no particular order ...
Any Patriots running back, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Bell, Le'Ron McClain, Derrick Ward, Earnest Graham, Darren McFadden, Zach Miller and any other Raider, LenDale White, Chester Taylor, Jerious Norwood, Roy E. Williams (any Dallas wideout, frankly), Laveranues Coles, Josh Morgan, Chris Chambers, Kevin Curtis, Devery Henderson, Julian Edelman, Ted Ginn Jr., Kevin Boss.

LoveSpell, $5.99, ISBN 0-505-52499-6
Sci-fi Romance, 2002
I've been puzzling over what Wal-Mart found so offensive about Contact that they demanded a rewrite from Susan Grant. No, the hero is not affiliated to the Talibans, and nobody walk into the sunset with the Taliban national anthem playing in the background. The only crime this book can be accused of – and that's stretching it, actually – is its discrimination against albinos by portraying them as nasty intergalactic grandkids of, I don't know, maybe Saddam Hussein.
Because Contact, in my opinion, is a fine story. It's what I wish more science-fiction/fantasy romances will take after. Sure, it has its shares of flaws, but it entertains superbly without slapping me in the face with annoying issues like virginity, purity, and weak helpless mind-reading heroines.
A freak storm that causes time/continuum thingies to bend sends the 747 which our heroine Jordan Cady is First Officer of to be sucked up by a giant spacecraft. Oops, the captain's heart gave in and Jordan finds herself the new Captain of 293 terrified passengers and crew. What is a tough lady to do? Rally the troops, that's what, and stand tough against the enemy. Instead of punishing Susan Grant, Dumb*Nuts should be calling up the airline folks to give this author a medal, because if all airline crew are as capable as Jordan, even Bruce Willis will be inspired to fly again. Jordan is one tough cookie, and even as she wants to go home and see her daughter again, she will be tough for the people around her, and damn right she does!
The guys in the aircraft are actually human beings from a faraway planet who don't mean them any harm. Kào Vantaar-Moray is our hero and he ends up playing the intermediary between Jordan and her folks and his own people. They have some bad news for Jordan: Earth is destroyed and Jordan and the rest of the 747 are the only Earthlings left. As Jordan and the rest of the Earthlings try to settle down and understand their new surroundings, things get complicated when nasty people try to undermine the aliens' Alliance from within. In the midst of it all, Kào and Jordan learns that in space, there are many fun ways to say "Let's do the nasty, baby!"
Susan Grant delivers a very nice, well-paced story here. The science fiction elements aren't too deep, but more than enough to prevent the setting from being mere wallpaper. Some fantasy romances are so vague and wishy-washy that I have a hard time escaping into the author's world, but not so here. It really feels like traveling among the stars here. There's excitement, there's danger, and there's the whole sense of loss, bewilderment, and finally, unity in danger among the 747s, all nicely done here.
The passion thing is another story though. Jordan is one tough babe – readers tired of mind-reading wailing virginal healers of dingbattiness that swamp the fantasy romance genre, all bow down to Susan Grant – and Kào isn't too bad as the tormented hero who has no idea just how much he could actually feel for the others around him. But the author chooses to make these people find love too easily, I find, and I find it rather difficult to believe that instantaneous attraction can happen in a premise such as the one in Contact. But because this story is so fun, I am willing to go along for the ride.
There are some things I find implausible – for example, how could anyone miscalculate Earth's coordinates and then not double-check like that? Even a religion requires a prophet and several generations of faithful writing (or garbling, depending on the way you believe things) and preaching before it becomes enshrined, and that's one planet. We're talking about an alliance of several planets here, and it's rather implausible that everybody in several planets will believe the words of a great hero and leave it at that.
Anyway, who cares? Contact tells a good story, it is well-written and there is brainpower at work here. Wal-Mart may be too dumb to know a good story if it bitch smacks them in the face, but this one is actually a nice, fun, and very good story that inspires for all the right reason.
