I'm back to being make-up-less and taking ten minutes to get ready in the morning! And even better- I actually wear underwear again now that I've caught up on my washing.
Our next adventure- Kawaguchiko- to spend a few days in awe of the stunning Mount Fuji. I thought I might cry when seeing her in the flesh for the first time. I don't know why I have the urge to speak about her as if she's a woman, it just feels incorrect calling Fuji 'it' and being a girl suits her. Maybe it's the pretty white top?
So I didn't cry in the end, but I literally jumped when I finally spotted her, after minutes of popping my head up and craning my neck out of the bus window, as if looking a bit more to the left or right would magically move the mountains and trees out of the way to reveal her.
Mount Fuji is so overpowering. Just like this massive, strong warrior, the people and cars and houses around her like servants.
Just when I thought the view from the bus was incredible enough, we then climbed up a wooden ladder to the observatory in our hostel and I jumped again. I had no idea we'd be staying that close. Mount Fuji was literally in our face. Sooo overwhelming. No camera (somehow) could pick up just how huge she looked, it was like being at arm's length.
We stayed in 'K- House mnt. Fuji' and I don't have a single negative point to make about this hostel. On top of having the perfect view of Fuji, it is a short walk away from shops, restaurants, a post office and shopping centre. The staff are friendly, every room is spotless, the showers are hot and powerful and they supply you with shampoo, body wash and conditioner.
Everyone has their own basket to put their food in and there's also space in the fridge. They give you labels to mark what's yours. It only costs 300yen to do laundry (including drying) and you can rent cheap bikes out with them, which they charge for 150yen an hour or 1000yen for the day. It's really chilled here too, there are a lot of older people so it's not really a party/ youth hostel, which I can imagine would be the worst kind of place to stay when you're trying to have a mountain break.
We met another British man on our first night, who is partly from Indonesia, and we we're discussing how nice it is to be out of the UK with all the horrible stuff going on there at the moment (the Manchester attack, the upcoming election etc.). Then the discussion on politics and ethics began. I've been trying not to have these conversations whilst away, but it's really nice to meet like-minded people and talk it out. It gives you a bit more reassurance that there are good people out there too.
We had some fun plans for the following two days, consisting of bike riding to different lakes, shrines and temples and taking a walk up the nature trails to as far as we're allowed to go up Fuji. Unfortunately they didn't start off too great.
On our first day I planned on getting up early-ish, to make a black coffee and lounge out on one of the hammocks on the observatory, so I could just stare at Fuji for a while. That fell through when I saw it had been raining and the clouds were completely blocking the view. "At least it's not raining now," I thought, thinking that was probably it for the day. I was so wrong.
After making a healthy breakfast (I'm so happy now because we had a communal kitchen which means we can make our own food and I'm finally eating more fruit and veg again) we started our cycle ride to the Kitaguchi Hongu Sengen Jinja shrine.
What was meant to be a twenty minute cycle ride, turned into two hours of getting lost and asking random people who didn't speak English for directions. It was so exciting and I was saying how nice it was not having internet on our phone; we could have used Google maps and been there straight away which would have ruined half the adventure. Not knowing where we were going and cycling down random streets and taking to random people was all part of the fun. And we'd feel ten times more accomplished when we finally found the shrine.
Mother nature started spitting at us and then she must have got annoyed that we weren't paying any notice to her, so she started pissing on us. Really heavily. By the time we got to the shrine we were drenched and cold and there was no way of getting warm or dry. I looked at the different signs for nature trails and felt soo gutted that we couldn't go and explore them. The shrine was easily the most impressive and beautiful one I had seen so far, but we couldn't even enjoy that properly because rain kept getting in our eyes. We decided we could always come back after checking out on Saturday if the weather was better, or even stay another night.
Luckily for us, there was a closed café on the site, which had free wifi. The rain showed no evidence of stopping any time soon, so we put Google maps on and got the route back to our hostel (the fast way not the two hour detour we initially took). I put my bright pink not-so-waterproof raincoat back on (it stuck to my skin and froze me even more) and our hilarious ride back began.
We were laughing so much at the situation we were in that I actually had to get off my bike at one point. In the middle of Japan, soaking wet in the rain, hands so cold they were twitching, trying to ride bikes up massive hills straining our faces, the complete opposite of what we had imagined our cute little bike ride and romantic picnic to be.
A hot shower was heaven to go back to. The rest of the afternoon was spent scrapbooking, writing letters, cooking and drinking wine. We made a decision there and then that if the next day was going to be the same, we would have to stay another night to make the most of our time here.
And the next day was the same, actually was worse. I was gutted when I saw the sky was nothing but white clouds, still no Fuji in sight. The rain didn't stop all day. When I asked about staying another night, our only option would have been getting a private room which was way too pricey. The next day was meant to be sunny, so we decided we would have to check out and leave our bags here and hopefully still get the chance to go and cycle round the lakes.
It was quite nice having a day of doing nothing in the end. I caught up with pretty little liars and watched a space documentary and had unlimited hot drinks.
I had another bad sleep but the next morning felt better than Christmas morning, so I wasn't at all bothered about how tired I was. I was up at 7:30 and leaped out of bed to go and see if the weather was better. It was SOOO clear and sunny and Fuji was once again up in my face confronting me. I made my usual morningly black coffee and went up to the observatory to take it all in.
We checked out and got straight on two bikes to lake Kawaguchiko. The difference it made cycling in the sun and warmth was ridiculous. We managed to find the lake okay and the views were incredible. In the weeks leading up to leaving, I did a lot of Googleing (mainly on Japan because I've been most excited about coming here) and seeing Fuji from across lake Kawaguchiko was literally as if I'd got up one of the photos from Google and stepped right in.
Everything was so overwhelming. I pictured the view in front of me- Fuji, the lake, the hills and trees- and imagined all of the houses and boats and people not being there. It really put in to perspective what an amazing place it is. So natural and stunning. As we cycled all the way around the lake I tried being as mindful as I could, appreciating the breeze on my skin and the loud crickets in the trees. Some points were really peaceful, others a bit busier. Some paths smooth, some rocky. At one point we saw an eagle gliding above us. It was a very different and perfect Saturday morning compared to what I'm used to (lying on someone's sofa still drinking wine at 9am, delaying a hangover).
I'm currently writing this whilst sitting on the Shinkansen bullet train on the way down to Kyoto. It was such an expensive ticket (£91 = approx. £13,200yen) but we have lots of space and it's going to save us so much time and effort and it's SOOO FUN! It runs so smoothly and it's bloody quick it feels like we're levitating.
The next few days will consist of temple and shrine searching, street food, green tea ice-cream and the Bamboo forest. Exciting!

A Hong Kong teenage student has won the top prize of a prestigious international photo competition for his mesmerizing nightscape of the city taken from Kowloon Peak.
The National Geographic announced that Kelvin Yuen Sze-lok, 19, a sophomore at the Hong Kong Baptist University, is the first place winner of its International Photo Contest 2015 (youth group, Taiwan section), Headline Daily reports.
Titled "The world of a wild child who chases his dream", the photo shows a young man standing beside his tent at the edge of a cliff and looking at the dazzling display of lights blazing and swirling across buildings and roads of a hectic city.
Another entry of Yuen's, "A night in a dream", was cited by judges as an "excellent work". It shows Hong Kong's skyscrapers immersed in dense fog.
Yuen said he learned the basics of photography on his own in just 18 months, but has continued to explore the medium's limitless possibilities.
With his digital single-lens reflex camera, he has taken countless pictures of Hong Kong scenes. His favorites are those taken from Kowloon Peak and the High Island Reservoir East Dam.
"Photography has turned me into a wild boy who enjoys the beauty of nature from a homeboy I used to be," Yuen said.
Asked how he finds time to attend to his school obligations when he spends so much time outdoors taking pictures, Yuen said he always puts his studies ahead of his hobby.
But he stressed that his nature trips and passion for photography have been a part of his education, helping him, for example, know more about the problems of pollution. He majors in environmental protection.

The Job Picture When Johnny and Janey Come Marching Home
Many Americans wonder when the troops will return home. Another question to ask is this: how will we take care of the troops when they return home? Against this background, Congress has a real interest in regulating the civilian employment relationships of uniformed service members.
The real question is this: do the troops deserve fair treatment, or preferential treatment? Regardless if you are for or against the war, or whether you live in a red state or a blue state, most Americans say they support the men and women fighting abroad. They also realize this conflict doesn't appear to be ending any time soon.
As new service orders are issued and existing commitments are extended, employers face increasing numbers of employees seeking leave to fulfill military obligations. These obligations, ranging in duration from days to weeks to years, often leave employers in the unenviable position of having to arrange adequate coverage for absent employees while holding their positions open upon timely application for reemployment (as required by federal law).
In addition to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), a few years back Congress passed the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act (VBIA), a bill imposing, among other things, specific notice requirements for uniformed service members, along with extended health care continuation coverage.
Employers, you should be on the lookout for a new mandated notice that will likely become part of the government's composite posters over time. You should also recognize that the traditional 18-month COBRA period will no longer suffice for departing service members, who would have the right to benefits continuation for up to 24 months from departure for service. Once USERRA regulations are finalized (which will likely occur next spring), employee rights will be further clarified.
Keep in mind that this is the only area of the law that incorporates a built-in presumption in favor of the complainant. Nonetheless, we can expect the courts to impose some limits on the extent of those rights, as demonstrated by the 5th Circuit. This is obviously an evolving area of the law. Stay abreast of the latest legal developments to ensure that your policies and procedures remain compliant and fair for all employees.

My pre-birthday celebration was a total delight from start to finish! I had only been told to block my Sunday from 10am on, but beyond that I had no idea what my handsome husband had planned for me.
We made our way to Wicker Park for brunch at The Carriage House where I enjoyed a Bloody Mary, perfect coffee and a brunch board featuring a toasted bagel, smoked redfish sala, pimento cheese and deviled eggs. It was such a yummy way to start our day.
The weather could not have been more beautiful on Sunday. Leif and I enjoyed a little stroll around the neighborhood and even popped into Alliance Bakery where we each enjoyed picking out a French macaron; salted caramel for Leif and strawberry shorcake for me. Yum.
After picking up our daily dose of Vitamin D from the good old sunshine, we headed into the city center to see The Book of Mormon!
I have wanted to see this show since it arrived in Chi-town several months ago and it is leaving in a less than two weeks. I thought I was surely going to miss out on all the musical fun, but leave it to Leif to make my birthday wishes come true. The show was utterly fantastic and wildly inappropriate. Honestly, we could not remember the last time we laughed that hard; I truly had tears pouring from my eyes almost the entire time. After the show we even headed over to Max's for a couple of Chicago-style hot dogs (one of my all-time favorite foods)!
While were were out my favorie baker was hard at work making me a cake and then later in the evening Leif cooked me and incredible meal! Yep, he made it from scratch. Leif found this recipe for Clams Casino Stew in an issue of Esquire magazine; a manly recipe for a manly cook. The meal was utterly divine and Leif's efforts were rewarded with big bold flavor! I think he may have found his signature dish. And get this, he told me he wants to learn how to make chili this autumn.
I cannot imagine a a better day.
Happy birthday to me!

Title: The Ritual Bath
Author: Faye Kellerman
Page Count: 374 pages
Genre: Mystery
Tone: Atmospheric, Suspenseful
Detective Peter Decker is stunned when he learns one of the women in a remote yeshiva community in the California hills was brutally raped as she returned from the mikvah, the bathhouse where the cleansing ritual is performed and Rina Lazarus is also the only one in the sheltered community willing to speak of this unspeakable violation. As Rina tries to steer Decker through the maze of religious laws the two grow closer. Before they get to the bottom of this horrendous crime, revelations come to light that are so shocking that they threaten to come between the hard-nosed cop and the deeply religious woman with whom he has become irrevocably linked.

The main ones have been designed to improve the flexibility of your planning while scheduling rests for your drivers and off windows for your customers.
Drivers' Rest Break
When defining a Driver's settings, you will notice the new field Rest Break: this is the length of the break (for example for lunch).
Right by this field there is Starting between: if the Driver has a break, these two fields will define the Time Window within which you would like the Driver to start his/her break. The starting time of the break will be an output of the optimization process, with the Route Planner suggesting the best moment (within limits of a User-set Time Window) for taking the break, thus minimizing its impact on the level of service.
The information about the Break is included in the Driving directions when you export them and in the bubble which pops up if you click on a Driver on the map (see below).
The Break is also visualized in the Driver's timeline, which you see under the map if you click on the Drivers tab. This way even at first glance you can see when the Driver will stop during his/her sequence of Orders.
Additional Time Window
The second new feature is the chance to add a Second Time Window when adding/editing an Order.
A typical usage scenario is one with a shop that can be served in the morning or in the afternoon, but not during lunch break. By setting two Time Windows for this Order (one for the morning and one for the afternoon), we give the Route Planner two valid alternatives to choose from and we make sure that lunch break is not considered. The Route Planner decides then which of the two options is the optimal one and assigns the Order to the best available Driver.
If you are adding/editing Orders one at a time, you can define a second Time Window by pressing the green button you see in the screenshot below.
After you press it, the fields for setting a second Time Window appear:
In the example above, by setting two Time Windows the Route Planner is forced NOT to serve the Order in the interval between the two, i.e. 12pm and 1pm.
Of course the new feature is supported even if you are importing a list of Orders with an Excel/CSV file. The templates you can download from here already include the new fields.
The information about the Second Time Window is included in the Driving directions when you export them and in the bubble which pops up if you click on an Order on the map (see below).
The information is also visualized in the Order's grid, which you see under the map if you click on the Orders tab.
Absolute vs Percentage Visualization of Resource Saturation
The third feature is a new button found under the Drivers tab. By clicking on it you can toggle Load and Time values.
You can visualize them as percentages:
Or you can visualize them as absolute values:
As usual, do not hesitate to give us your feedback and suggest what you think we should develop next!

I do believe now you can put a set dollar amount on a metro card in addition to an unlimited - so throw $5 a piece on each of them for the Airtrain and you should be ok. The unlimited portion will not cover the airtrain.

As for the convenience of getting to the airport, I will take a car service in cities like DFW as it handily beats the DART. In NYC or Chicago, I take the train. It's not that hard to get a suitcase through a turnstyle. I do it just about every week, including multiple rides two weeks ago across the city of New York. Honestly, it's much easier to ride the subway with baggage than Jersey Transit. The 3+2 seating on Jersey Transit makes it hard to walk into the car with baggage. The subway is wide open, so even when it's crowded, people have a little smoosh room.
For LGA I take the N/W to Ditmars and catch a cab from there, which takes about half the time that a cab from mid-town takes. That is, if you don't stop for a pide at Truva, an excellent Turkish spot under the station.

The video says that Freemasonry is not a religion. It only teaches and helps good men become better.
Oh really?
Not a religion yet they call their buildings TEMPLES.
I am a Catholic and my Church teaches me to be good and holy. So Freemasonry can do a better job?
The former chief justice says that Freemasonry helped him a lot especially in his career in the judiciary.
But of course!
Masons only help their own.
That's what this"brotherhood" is all about.
Just a reminder once again.
1). The Holy See on Nov. 26, 1983, issued "Declaration on Masonic Associations" reaffirming the Church's position condemning Freemasonry. It also reminds that Catholics who join Masonic organizations are in a state of grave sin and are automatically to be denied reception of Holy Communion. Hey! Cardinal Kasper!
2). God as described in Masonic writings is an impersonal "Great Architect of the Universe," not the personal God of the Patriarchs, the One True God of Revelation, the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. The Masonic God is a god of Deism. They believe that God exists but their god does not meddle in the affairs of man. Remember how the Greek gods of Olympus behaved according to the tales?
3). Masonic writings were very clear to state that God has NOT revealed Himself nor His truths to us, nor that He ever established a Church. This is the reason why Masons are anti religion and anti Church. They were the ones behind the series of attacks against the Catholic Church during the war on the Reproductive Health Law
4). For Mason, Jesus Christ is merely a man, a great teacher, equal with Buddha or Mohammed. Masons do not believe that He is God. Equality and respect for religions, eh? That's what Masonry teaches so much so that it puts all religions and all religious deities on one equal plane/
5). Since all religions are equal, not one single religion possesses the truth and that all truth is relative according to Masonry. They reject objective, absolute truth and believe that a personal enlightenment is important. So where does that put the dogmas of the Catholic faith? Dumpster. Don't you see that this is all the work of Modernism?
6). Therefore, Freemasonry is promoted as the foundation of all religions. Freemasonry is in FACT a religion of Naturalism, a system of belief that makes human nature and human reason supreme in all things.
7). The initiation ritual of Freemasonry describes an initiate as one who is in darkness and seeks the light. And that light can only be found in the Lodge. A Catholic who is baptized and confirmed cannot be described as someone in darkness. But for Freemasonry, any person who has not learned the teachings of the Lodge is lost and in darkness. Can that be compatible with Christianity in general and with Catholicism in particular?
Therefore, the ultimate goal of Freemasonry is to lead a Catholic away from God's grace especially manifested in the Sacraments instituted by Christ through His Church. Masonry denies Christ's Divinity and therefore His role as our Savior and His Church's work of continuing His mission on earth.
Read more books written by former Masons who returned to the Church here. The one by John Salza is great!

Yeti, also known as tundra yeti,[11] were large, white-furred creatures that could be found in arctic climates. They were the cold-climate version of the dire ape.[9]
Yeti appeared as a cross between a human and a bear and walked upright. Although they were usually white, their fur turned brown in the short summers of the north.[11] Yeti had an extra, translucent eyelid that allowed them to see clearly in a snowstorm.[2]
Yeti were hard to find, although one could find evidence of their passing. In the summer, they hid in long grass; in the winter, they hid in the snow. They were always hungry and apt to attack anything that moved.[11]
Yeti could be tamed by the most dedicated (or fearsome) of keepers.[12][11]
Yeti stalked their prey and were most likely to set ambushes, using the color of their fur as camouflage. Once the fighting began, yeti fought fiercely with their claws and strong grips.[2] Anyone caught unawares by the yeti were unable to keep from looking them in the eye, which paralyzed the the unsuspecting victim for brief time.[12][11] Because of their fur, yeti were not affected by cold attacks, but they were very susceptible to heat attacks.[4]
Yeti oil could be used as a poison.[13] Yeti teeth and claws could be sold as trinkets, whereas yeti fur was highly valued for its heat-retaining characteristics.[4][14]
In 1281 DR, Mirek of Kuldahar and his brother were visiting the Vale of Shadows outside of the town when they encountered a tribe of yeti, which attacked the two men. His brother was killed, but Mirek was able to flee back to Kuldahar, followed by the yeti, who proceeded to invade the town. A visiting group of outsiders trapped in Kuldahar by an avalanche helped the townspeople to successfully repel the invasion.[15]
Icewind Dale was perhaps most known for its yetis, which were said to outnumber people.[6] Narfell was also home to tundra yeti,[9] and so were the peaks and high valleys of the Spine of the World.[7]
Historically, yeti lived in the Novularond region of the Great Glacier, but they were pushed out by frost giants to the neighboring region of Nakvaligach (although a number of yeti remained in the Esenovularond peaks[16]). In Nakvaligach, white dragons allied with the local yeti, who served the dragons and even rode astride their backs.[8]
A variety of the regular tundra yeti was the gargantua yeti, which were 20 feet tall and had sky-blue fur. A clan of territorial gargantua yeti lived in the easternmost mountains of the Tuutsaas Chain in the Great Glacier.[17]

Terms for the end of Civil War hostilities began at a courthouse in Virginia in April of 1865, but it didn't end in Texas until June later that year. Slaves continued to work and personal freedoms were ignored because no one got the word. No social media, no media of any kind, no newspapers for slaves who of course were not allowed to read (outlawed by the Slave Codes).
General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia of the southern forces, abandoned the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. At a private residence on April 12, 1865, Lee formerly surrendered to the Union Army General Ulysses S. Grant effectively ending the Civil War. Throughout the South enslaved blacks left plantations and stopped being personal property and began a new life. News of the surrender took considerable time to get to plantations. Even southern forces took considerable time to put the war behind them. For instance, the infamous founder of the Ku Klux Klan and murderer of blacks and combatants, Nathan Bedford Forrest finally surrendered on May 9, 1865. He's revered by segregationists for his anti-black brutal actions. Even President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, that become effective on January 1, 1863 (in a speech by Lincoln on September 22, 1862), is known to have taken considerable time to reach slaves. The Proclamation, for many, was just a war maneuver, calling for slaves to turn on their masters. How and when did slaves, or would slaves, get the word of freedom?
Thanks to the WPA (Works Progress Administration) part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, documents were created and stories archived. The WPA employed more than 8 million unemployed at it's height, it began in 1935 and ended in 1943. As a government agency it employed writers, artists, construction workers and others, to put people back to work following the effects of the Great Depression. A team of writers gathered thousands of stories and documented the accounts of rapidly vanishing former slaves (as well as other oral accounts). Some of those narratives are recounted in, Bullwhip Days, written by James Mellon. To get a better understanding of slave reactions to the freedom attained by the end of the Civil War, first-hand accounts are a great insight into Juneteenth, the day freedom was supposedly made real.
The realities of slave life retold to WPA writers was the harsh and everyday struggle of slavery. The prospect of ending rape, beatings, the separations from family and other unbearable atrocities was for some so unbelievable that but former slaves feared their new lives even more. The prospect of the unknown proved more than many could bare. For the not too optimistic former slave, the acceptance of miserable conditions as their lot in life was a reasonable condition it was often bouyed by religion.
Many of the slave narratives are subdued, with little elation or regard to their freedom. Missing are the expressions of joy one might expect, in addition to the absence of hope or the prospect of a better life. Jubilation could be expected, but it's seldom related in the written documents. The reality and turmoil, bitter trials of Jim Crow Laws, tempered the narratives. Former slaves recounting slave days, as they lived through the brutality of the aftermath of slavery. Perhaps the endless generations of a hopeless existence and the ignorance of what to expect compounded by the painful retaliation of white society, not to mention the resentment of some former slaves tempered the narratives. Taking on the mantle of an unpredictable life as opposed to a predictable albeit cruel existence seemed acceptable for some former slaves. When the word that southern forces had surrendered, some faced the misplaced retaliation losers often display to the undeserving.
Juneteenth as a celebration began in Texas. It's alive and well and part of a list of official holidays in some places that find it important to honor the horrible race based peculiar wealth creating system practiced in the United States, the land of the free.

Juneteenth was first celebrated on June 19th back in 1865. The first noted celebration, as far we can tell, was in Galveston, Texas. This celebration is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. The Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Even though that this was years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger's regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.

The Reign of Reason - The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius - Unpublished Selections Explained, Med. IX.39
Meditation IX.39 - The Reign of Reason - Translated by George Long and rewritten by Russell McNeil
Either all things proceed from one intelligent source and come together as in one body, and the part ought not to find fault with what is done for the benefit of the whole;1 or there are only atoms, and nothing else than mixture and dispersion.2 Why, then, are you disturbed? Say to the ruling faculty, Are you dead, are you corrupted, are you playing the hypocrite, are you become a beast, do you herd and feed with the rest?3
(1) This first of two possible configurations of the system of the World - the one that Stoics adhere to - maintains the cosmos as an integrated manifold of many parts. As a unified and interconnected system, no part of the manifold is dispensable, or without purpose, and each part, no matter how seemingly trivial, is essential for the success of the whole. The system proceeded from divine natural intelligence, otherwise designated the Law of nature, or simply Logos.
(2) The alternate hypothesis extant in the ancient world suggested a type of atomism. Not only was all substance atomic, the distinct atoms were autonomous and disconnected from the whole. Modern physical atomism is a blend of these two ideas. The physical universe does consist of discrete particles, but all particles have a long range influence on every other particle in the system.
(3) The philosophical implications of these two hypotheses are divergent. Atomism lends strength to self-centeredness - that we are responsible only to ourselves. The interests of the community are important only insofar as community interests serve my individual needs. Whatever position one holds, the ruling faculty - the mind - will take precedence over the body. Reason, if only at the level of the individual - must reign over simple instinct or emotion. If it did not, I would be "dead". I would be "corrupted" by the body. I would be "playing the hypocrite" if I was rational only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I would be a "beast, herd[ing] and feed[ing] with the rest" on alternate days. Marcus is placing his trust here on the primacy of reason irrespective of philosophical orientation. Of course there is a hidden and cagey agenda here. In maintaining adherence to the primacy of reason, it is not possible to dismiss the importance of community, because it is virtually impossible to rationally justify philosophical atomism. Even within an atomic world view, human beings are dependent on each other for survival - to deny this would be to deny reason.

"Swing" Away and Hit a Home Run on Your Next Server Change
Hallelujah, there is an option! Many of you have hear about the Swing Migration technique that Jeff Middleton has produced for cleaning and moving Active Directory to a , new server, saving the lone IT guy from endless hours of work and "cross your fingers" data transfers. My need was for a specific iteration of his technique called "Redeploying SBS 2003".
Success though is predicated on the originating server having a healthy AD. As it turned out, mine did not. I was ignorant of my AD issue and began my "redeploy"...more than once. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth later (screams, howling at the moon, reexamination of my purpose on earth), I found the resources that Jeff provided for diagnosing and repairing AD issues. My server must have just finished a personal diary, because it had a "Journal Wrap" error. Further study indicates that this is possible side effect of CRM installations on SBS.
Oh, Jeff, you are good. Thanks for the information and excellent troubleshooting guides. I should have turned to you sooner. Then I could have smacked that home run much much quicker!

Put an X-Man in your laptop bag
Many thanks to Brendan I. Koerner for putting the Lenovo T61 laptop's Magnesium Rollcage into perspective.
Thinkpads have an excellent reputation. With this latest line of the R61, T61, and X61 models, Lenovo had made them even better. Wow! True shock mounted hard drives! Rollcage on the main body and the lcd! Much increased cooling and a super quiet fan! And more!
Many have wrung their hands over Lenovo buying IBM's laptop and desktop divisions. Security concerns about the China connection are well published. If there is controvesy about this vendor and so many other products to choose from, why am I looking here? Thats easy.
Despite the political and economic angst, Lenovo has kept up the quality and actually improved on a legendary product. Panasonic with its Toughbook line is the one other vendor that I would place in this class. To be fair, I will let any other vendor prove to me that they are as tough and innovative as these two vendors. Any takers?
I am sooooo tired of consumer ( and some so called business grade) laptops that place my clients' data at risk and waste their time (and, by extension, my time)! Hard drives shoved into torturous hell holes, cases that flex like warped 2x4s, broken display hinges, excessive bottom heat that lowers your chance of having children... Enough!!
Some of this is my fault, of course. Personally, I thought my clients would not pay for "business grade" laptops. I did not see enough difference to speak with conviction that such units were worth the extra dough. Some recent experiences, though, have left me wanting more for my clients.
They may not be made of "adamantium", but I am going to do my best to put these "super skeletons" in my clients' laptop cases.

Apesar de estar com a trilha sonora de Penny Dreadful na playlist do PC o dia todo,chamou minha atenção no domingo essa criaturinha australiana chamada Sia. E essa música é perfeição!
Help, I have done it again - I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today - And the worst part is there's no one else to blame
Be my friend - Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me - I am small and needy
Warm me up - And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again - Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break - I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

How important is Summer Industrial Training for an Engineer?
Unlike other professions, engineering job is based on logical implementation of knowledge in a step by step manner. A successful engineer needs to have an analytically mind and keen attitude along with strong grip on their respective technology.
But with the huge increase in number of engineering students all over India, the quality of engineers is degrading because more focus is given to theoretical knowledge rather than practical application of the concepts. There comes the importance of Summer Industrial Training program which is mandatory for every engineering student.
Today all the engineering colleges have Summer Industrial Internship as a part of their curriculum and in most of the cases the student is require choosing the company for the training on their own. The objective of this training is to enhance the knowledge of the students on the different cutting edge technologies and to provide the real time exposure of the corporate world.
The industrial training program gives you a fantastic exposure with the company's working environment and style pattern. They get to know how to interact with clients , understand their expectation , real time software applications , installations , configuration , testing and SDLC phases of the project which they have just studied till now in their books.
Working on live projects, again is a very important aspect. The things that are taught during the student life of your Engineering will be implemented while carrying out the project work.They face all the real time challenges and with the help of internship mentor they understand how to handle these problems with the most logical solution at the earliest because time is money in the real world.
The main motive for a student is ultimately to get well placed in their dream company.Their dream will only turn into reality when they will be able to match up with the expectations of the industry. They need to attain certain bench marking standards to grab a job in the competitive market and also survive in the industry.
During final placements interview the first question that is asked by the recruiters is about their Industrial Training and the project they have done because employers expect the candidates to gather at least basic fundamental knowledge on their respective domains and must understand what is expected of them in the real life scenario.
But most of the students always run to obtain a merely certificate and due to this there is serious lack of trained professionals with the desired skill sets to take on the ever increasing demand of an IT industry.
In order to overcome this problem and transforming your career into fruitful one student should join summer training programs not only for certificate but for Practical knowledge and experience.

NASHVILLE — Even the winners can die. The steeplechase horse Arcadius — a thoroughbred like those in this weekend's Preakness — won a race that rewards the hardy, the brave, the stout. Three miles. Eighteen hurdles. He galloped, he jumped, he stalked, he flew home.
Jockey Brian Crowley dropped his whip after the last fence and still the horse won with his ears pricked, holding on by a length in the Grade I $150,000 Iroquois Steeplechase here on Saturday. Arcadius galloped out, pulled up, slowed to a walk and returned with Crowley aboard. At the winner's circle, the photographers waited. So did an owner, a trainer, a groom, a crowd of 25,000.
The trophies, the plaudits were his. He had won, triumphed, beaten one of the best to try the Iroquois in the two-time winner Tax Ruling. In his best opportunity, Arcadius came through. An 8-year-old gelding, he breathed hard as he walked back to applause.
"Well done, jock," a fan said to Crowley.
The jockey nodded and pointed to his horse. "Not me, all him," the gesture said.
And it was. Arcadius seized the day, winning with the biggest, best effort of his life. The humans lined up, the horse was led in to the winner's circle. Catching his breath now, he stood for the brief ceremony — a sweaty, dirty, hot, victorious athlete. It was as if he knew he had won. Arcadius stared regally to the distance, ears at attention, and everyone else paused, soaking in the victory. The cameras buzzed. Crowley jumped down, unbuckled the elastic girths, removed the leather saddle, breastplate, black and red cloth with the white 3 on it. The jockey folded it all up on his arm, patted his horse on the back, one more reward for the effort.Continue reading the main story
Two minutes later, Arcadius was dead — steps from the finish line he had crossed with so much power, so much life.
It was quick, shocking, certainly eerie. After walking from that winner's circle celebration, while getting the usual after-race hosing and dousing with water, Arcadius stepped awkwardly to his right, raised his head, stiffened his front legs and dropped to the ground on his left side. Before he fell, his right eye went blank — flashing life, death, pain, something. Humans sprang to action — with more water, ice, medicine. It had looked like a heat stroke, even on a day when temperatures barely reached 70 under a gray sky. Horses do that: they overheat, they get medical attention, they cool off, they get up and walk away — tired, but alive.
Not this time.
Dr. Monty McInturff of the Tennessee Equine Hospital said it was an aneurysm, a heart attack. At first, the veterinarian heard a heartbeat — irregular, but there. Intravenous fluids went in. The people talked to the horse, calmed him, helped him, gave him every chance to recover. Arcadius quivered, raised his head once or twice, moved his feet, then went still. The ice bags came off, the fluids were disconnected.
The groom, Mike Benson, who had ridden eight hours in a horse van from South Carolina with Arcadius the day before, helped take off his horse's bridle, and stood — shocked, gutted, alone, silent, as the race replay spun out on the infield television screen. A speck of mud dotted the corner of Benson's eye, put there by his horse's last few breaths. The owner, Ed Swyer, an Albany-area businessman who won two that day, could not speak. The trainer, Jonathan Sheppard, whose horses finished one-two-three in the race, walked away. Crowley came back for a trophy ceremony that did not happen, looked at his horse, retreated to the jockeys' tent and asked a hundred mental questions.
"I don't get attached to horses, I just don't, but with him, it's different; he's the one horse I would be close to," he said while fiddling with a badly knotted tie. "I'm not being a drama queen, I'm not just going on about it. I fed him carrots every day. I rode him, I schooled him. What a horse. I can't believe it. I'm crying over a horse. I can't believe it. You find out what you are when something like this happens, you find out how much you care."
Crowley, an Irishman, rode for years in England, broke his neck and missed 10 months, quit for three years. He came to the United States in the cold of January 2010, hoping for a break and a chance to ride meaningful races again. He slept on a couch in a decrepit house in Pennsylvania, woke early, went to work at Sheppard's farm and pushed a wheelbarrow between rides. He spent his first paycheck at T. J. Maxx, buying clothes. Arcadius was his first morning ride, his first American winner. Horse and jockey provided Sheppard with a milestone 1,000th steeplechase winner at New Jersey's Monmouth Park in September 2010.
Bred by Jayeff B Stable in Kentucky, Arcadius sold for $500,000 as a yearling in 2005 to the top Irish owner Michael Tabor. In the care of the champion trainer Aidan O'Brien in Ireland, Arcadius, the son of Giant's Causeway, did not live up to the lofty opinion or purchase price and won a cheap maiden race at age 3 before being sold again and switched to hurdles. He won once in Ireland in 2008, crossed Sheppard's radar screen and joined what is considered the best steeplechase stable in the United States.
The bay gelding won once in 2009, twice in 2010 and closed 2011 with a solid third in the Grade I Colonial Cup. Given a winter break at Sheppard's farm in Pennsylvania, he returned April 28 with a third in a flat race at a steeplechase meet near Charlotte, N.C. Fit and ready, Arcadius went to Nashville in a bid to spoil Tax Ruling's chance at a third consecutive win in the spring's richest race.
"It will take a hell of a horse to beat this horse," Crowley said to the boys in the barn all week. "He's pulling me around out there."
On Saturday, it was more of the same. Arcadius rated in third early, drafted into second, just off Tax Ruling, at the midway point, and challenged for the lead at the 16th fence — flying up the inside and landing with momentum. He soared the 17th, getting a length on the eventual runner-up, Divine Fortune, and stepped into the 18th full of run. Crowley was going for it. So was his horse. From there, no one was going to catch them.
"The further the race went, the better he was going — jumping, traveling, doing it," Crowley said. "He was as good as ever for me. I gave him one little flick going down the last and then I dropped my stick. I didn't mean to, but I didn't need it. He won easy. It wasn't a very tough race for him."
Shortly afterward, Arcadius was in the toughest battle of his life. Like a marathon runner who pushed too far or a basketball player with an unseen condition set off by one last run up the court, his heart gave out. He didn't make a mistake at a fence, didn't bow a tendon, didn't wrench an ankle, didn't fracture one of his delicate front legs, didn't do one of the things on the endless list of mishaps that can befall a thoroughbred in a race. No, he had made it through all that. He even pulled up fine, came back to the winner's circle, posed for photographs, accepted the gentle pats of the humans in his life and tasted that first sip of cold water afterward. He was safe.
"He tried, he gave his all," Crowley said. "That's racing, I guess, but it doesn't seem like it.
"The ones that get hurt in a fall, in a race, it's no easier but that's part of the race. It wasn't like he fell, you can say a fall is racing or along the lines of racing; he won, he was there, he won, he made it."
Swyer will get his $90,000, Sheppard and Crowley their $9,000 each, Benson a small stake for the heartfelt care. Arcadius gets a place of rest in Tennessee, a triumphant spot in the memory of his owner, his trainer, his jockey, his groom and a part in a scene that will surely not leave anyone who was there.
A half-hour after their horse died, Sheppard and Crowley met outside the barn across the racecourse. The 71-year-old trainer told his 31-year-old jockey it was not anyone's fault, that they had all done right by the horse. A trainer since 1966 and a Hall of Famer, Sheppard tried to bolster Crowley, but wound up saying much more.
"It's a terrible loss; he just went out with the biggest win of his life, and we've got to remember that, we've got to remember him for that," said Sheppard, voice steady but measured as he half-paced, half-sat, half-leaned against a wall. "You have to say it's a freak thing, the horse has been cared for, the course is in great shape, it's a nice cool day, he was ridden by a guy who loves him, there was nothing out of the ordinary. It was one in 10,000 things that can happen. I don't know what you can say or do. I don't know."Continue reading the main story

Ticket #4762 (closed defect: duplicate)
Ubuntu Host (9.04) - Windows (XP and 7) Guest - High CPU Usage w/Firefox
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|VirtualBox 3.0.4
|CPU usage, firefox, ubuntu, windows
|Guest type:
|Host type:
Description (last modified by frank) (diff)
Host: Ubuntu 9.04 Guest: Windows XP & 7
CPU usage on both host and guest are minimal with no programs open. When firefox is launched, and a Javascript intensive page is opened (ex. gmail), one core on the host shows 100% utilization, while the guest remains minimal. Usage returns to normal when Firefox is closed.
The workaround is to open a secondary VM and run it idly along with the guest.

Bump. Thoughts? Is there anything I can provide to help with this?
comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by sandervl73
VBox.log of the Windows VM for starters would be useful. (when the 100% cpu overhead has occurred)

Attaching the VBox log. I looked into it, but it's not coming up with any useful information on the issue. The core goes to 100%, but there is no entry in the log in between Fullscreen commands.
Is there any way to make the log more verbose? Anything else I could do?
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by sandervl73
It's incomplete. Make sure you close the VM and then take the log.
