Guide For Selecting An Internet Service Provider
An internet service provider is an organization that provides users such as companies and other individuals with internet access and other services such as website construction, and web hosting. An internet service provider generally speaking gives their clients fundamental apparatus' that are required for one to have the ability to get to the web, however there are a couple tips an individual should consider while picking a system get to provider.
One important tip to consider is the speed of the internet as there are several internet packages available hence one should be able to determine the amount of internet speed they need in terms of the upload and download speeds according to the needs of the individual or the organization for example a company with many staff should be able to have a higher internet speed so as to provide a comfortable environment for all the staff to be able to do their work effectively.
The other tip to consider is the customer service of the internet service provider and one should ensure that the internet service provider they choose has a reliable customer service team meaning that it should be available around the clock to ensure that it meets their client's needs or requests for example if one has an issue with their internet, the customer service team should be available to sort out the client's issues.
Another tip to consider is the security of the network this is because most of the time the internet is prone to insecurities such as virus attacks, hence when one is choosing an internet service provider should ensure that the company provides their clients with security from attacks as this may endanger the security of the clients data. One should also consider the service charge set by the internet service provider as they often charge different charges for different internet packages and the higher the bandwidth the higher the charges and vice versa, hence it is prudent to consider the service charge and ensure that there is no hidden charges that may be added to the final service charge as this will mean one is paying for service they do not get to enjoy.
A Simple Plan For Researching Businesses
One should also consider the internet options available within their work or residential area as there are some areas which do not have an internet coverage meaning that individuals cannot be able to access the internet within that area, hence it is very important for an individual to find out if the area has an internet coverage before setting to choose an internet service provider.If You Read One Article About Internet, Read This One

Traffic offenders, beware of loss of licenseThose who are in the habit of driving vehicles on foot paths may be to jump the queue of vehicles in traffic jams or near red signals may have to regret. The traffic cops in the city will make surprise checks for this also along with the non wearing of helmets, not keeping documents etc. Those found riding on foot paths will be caught and recommend to RTO to suspend your driving license under the M V act 1988.
This is as a part of the several measures being tried for the improvement in the traffic on the city roads. The license of the repeat violators will be impounded and submit them to jurisdictional courts and RTOs for cancellation/suspension. During the last 10 days the traffic police have submitted about 265 licenses for suspension.
There are many other measures to be introduced to ease the traffic congestion at various points. The measures include conversion of some roads to one way, shifting of some bus stops away from congested places etc. Due to booking under offense of drag racers (as if speed contesting), wheeling (sudden turn at high speed) etc under the provision of rash driving, these offenses have come down drastically. There were more than 5 lakh cases of wrong parking.
Let us hope these measures will deter the offenders of traffic rules. Let us also hope the traffic department will take steps to stop the noisy driving and using vehicles without silencers.


text: A couple of weeks ago I posted a patch which added support for the tda8274+tda10046ht based FlyDVB-T, not very well working then. But meanwhile, thanks to Hartmut Hackmann unvaluable suggestions, I developed a simple reader/writer/eraser for the ATMEL 24C256N eeprom mounted on the card (I suppose on all Lifeview cards) which contains the firmware for the 10046 demodulator, version 23 by factory . By means of this tool I was able to upgrade the firmware to version 29. This version was taken from Lifeview latest drivers, and to this purpose I modified get_dvb_firmware in order to get the tda10046 firmware from their site. A separate patch for get_dvb_firmware was also posted. With latest tda1004x CVS updates and the firmware upgrade, eventually I got this card working. Locking time is reduced and at last I was able to do a channel scan and watch TV with vdr :) It seems that the patch didn't find its way to the CVS tree, so I would ask the developers if I should post it again, and where to send my simple eeprom programmer. Ciao, gianci

Thomas Darnell's book, "Biggest Little Photographer", was published October 2016.
This is a photography book including many of the photographs Thomas took during the 365 day photo a day project he worked on for 1 year of his life … from 8 years old to 9 years old.
It also includes an introduction of how it began, quotes, and a bit of the story along the way. The book will be co-authored by Thomas' mom, Camilla Downs.
Who is this book for: Now that the book is in its second month of being published, we are learning that it appeals to ages from 8 years old to 80 years old … and beyond! It is an inspirational book regardless of one's age and we are finding that photographers love the book too! The reviews listed below will give you more of an idea. They range from a 10 year old to a lovely person in her 60's.
This is not simply a photography book and not a photography book by a professional photographer. This book is about an 8 year old boy, with a passion for LEGO, and a huge heart.
An 8 year old boy who read an article about a professional photographer who had taken photographs of a mini figure taking photographs for 365 days. An 8 year old boy who then asked, "Can I do that?" and then bought a mini figure camera with his own money.
An 8 year old boy who used what he had, a donated iPhone 3G, mini figure pieces already owned, and spent less than $2.00 to purchase the camera piece. So, while you won't find photographs of the highest quality and clarity within this book, you will find love, inspiration, and the knowing that whatever you dream, whatever you want to accomplish, it CAN be done. And you will find that life is what happens between asking, "Can I do that?" and "I DID IT!"
It's about an 8 year old boy who, with determination and fun, completed a ONE YEAR photography project from the time he was 8 years old and ending at 9 years old.

Run & Reflect
Rutland Slow Time
I hear the water lapping against the shore edge as I run. I look out upon the clear, blue water, speckled with diamond lights as the sun reflects off the liquid surface. A flock of sheep going somewhere by themselves, no humans telling them what to do. They bleat, they communicate with each other. I notice a mother sheep sitting by the water's edge looking out onto the horizon, her baby lamb sitting next to her. They are enjoying the wonderful scenery just as I am ! I enter a space dominated by swallows. They dart from left to right, right to left, up and down, down and up. They eat the midges that fly through the air every so often en masse. I find that if I see the cloud of midges early enough I can avoid them bumping into my face simply by stepping to one side.
I feel disappointment. Today there are no waders in the spot where I saw them only last week. A pair wiggling around in the marshy land. Then I am in awe because I notice a pair of birds that I have not seen before at Rutland Water, with a couple of chicks. It touches my heart that they have chosen this place to start their family. A special place. I realise that no one day is ever the same, that each time I run I witness different things and experience different surprises.
I run past apple trees heavy with white blossoms. I breathe in the aroma and for a time the smell helps me forget about how tired my legs are, having run over 12 miles by this stage. In the same way that I have become absorbed by the landscape, the landscape has absorbed me. I feel part of a rich biodiversity, and experience the generosity of nature. Somehow the landscape and its creatures have transformed me. In the same way that my steps have left an impact upon the ground, the environment has impacted upon me. I have entered Rutland slow time – no worries, no beginning, no ending, just being. This experience of time is truly a gift, in today's society of fast cars and fast living. Where I am there is only an expanse of contentment, a hidden message of peace and joy.
Landscapes, Gaining Perspective, and Counselling
April is a truly beautiful time of the year to go walking or running. When I go out walking or running I enjoy connecting with the sound of birdsong. There are some sounds that are very special, like a woodpecker hammering a tree or the exciting sound of swans as they take flight. Trying to stay in tune with the songs that birds create helps me to develop a softer, more kindly, approach to my walking and running, because if I make too much noise then the bird that I am hearing or watching may depart. I become more mindful of taking a slow and steady step, not placing too much strain on my legs or too much vibration on the ground beneath me. I thank the birds for their beauty and I am in awe of the birds that I see diving and then floating upon invisible aerial waves, wishing that I had that ability.
Another dimension to my walking and running that I have discovered in April is the power of landscapes. The terrain where I walk and run is quite hilly and I enjoy reaching the top of a hill and then just cruising along its summit, as I survey the land around me. I notice the many different fields with their different colours – green, brown, yellow, grey. I see the hedgerows between the fields, creating a patchwork of boundaried sections. I notice how some fields are bathed in sunlight whilst others are dark and shadowed.
I have noticed that by looking at the landscape around me, and gaining a sense of perspective and distance regarding what I see, helps me in terms of gaining a perspective over my own life. Some parts of my life contain shadows, difficult periods when I have felt alone and in despair. Some parts of my life contain beautiful birdsong and colourful flowers, also joyful and sensitive creatures like hares or horses. By taking the time to walk or run and reflect upon the landscape I am better able to put the difficult and the joyful times to my life in perspective. My life is a patchwork of different terrain and different colour but the important thing is that I continue to walk or run, I continue to feel the sunshine on my face or the raindrops on my back. I am grounded, in the moment, not overwhelmed by any particular experience or life history. I can observe my life without getting stuck within any particular field; I can place a boundary over a challenging experience as a way of containing this.
In counselling we too can gain perspective over our lives, the challenges, the devastating experiences, alongside any joy. In this way we do not forget about times when we felt positive emotions, when we felt connected. We can draw boundaries over experiences we would rather forget, so that we can appreciate the here and now rather than getting bogged down. We can learn to draw attention to beauty, to be kind to ourselves and to let go of any anxiety, fear, shame, guilt or anger. Wisdom is there for us to behold.
Run & Reflect
Being outside and surrounded by beautiful scenery, this can help us gain perspective on an issue that may be troubling us. By being mindful of how it is that we observe the nature around us, we can learn to apply the same skills to observing our own lives and significant experiences that happen to us. We can also practise slowing things down. Nature has its own pace, its own flow, and if we can learn to experience this then we can take this knowledge into our everyday lives. We can learn to relax and to de-stress. We can also practise breathing and connecting with nature, and in doing so, connecting with ourselves.
Walk and talk, and run and reflect sessions, are a way of having therapy outdoors. Walking and talking, or running and reflecting, is a more dynamic way of processing and exploring issues in our lives than sitting face to face with a counsellor. Walking or running side by side with the counsellor can make us feel less inhibited, and somehow walking and running can help us to view something in a new way. It is a creative process.
Given that so many people live in cities and urbanised areas these days, it is important to take time out from these environments and to go and connect with nature. The walk and talk and run and reflect sessions that I hold are based at Rutland Water, a beautiful reservoir in the heart of England, with stunning views. I hold run and reflect sessions based on your pace. The therapeutic aspects of running are huge. Come and join me.

A Rear Naked Joke Exclusive:
Kurt "Batman" Pellegrino's new UFC figurine is startlingly life-like. Unlike many of the figurines on the marketplace, you don't have to puzzle over it to determine exactly who it is. UFC title contender Kenny Florian showed off the new figurine at a press conference yesterday. He too was floored by the dolls amazing life like properties.
"It's a bit too real," Kenny said at the presser. "Not only did the doll bite me, it crapped its diaper and now it stinks really, really bad. I don't think I like this thing. It's giving me the creeps."
Florian tried to hand off the figurine, to Dana White, but the Pellegrino doll threw a tantrum, so Kenny was stuck baby sitting it throughout the entire press conference.
This limited edition doll, which comes with its own mouthpiece/pacifier, is not yet available for purchase. We'll keep you updated as to its release date.

Lanticore Spawnling
Binds when used
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
The Lanticore mob can sometimes be found in the Rookery of the five-man dungeon, but is not a guaranteed spawn.
Although developer Jeremy Feasel confirmed that the pet is a 100% drop, it should be noted that drop rates are different when loot is set to Personal versus Group loot.
Absolutely powerful pet, paired with Poda (Uncanny Luck+Feign Death) and Ghostly Whelpling (Spectral Strike+Instability), they can do really huge mess ;)))). Very good pet to have in Glass Cannons collection/teams :D.
One reason that cataclysm is not a good idea vs magic is beacuse you
cannot normally do 769 damage to a magic because it's total health is
usually less than 3 times that. 769 is usually way overkill.
The other reason that Cataclysm is not a good idea is because it only
has a 50% hit rating. Instead apply corrosion followed by sleeping gas.
Ya know, I got this and didn't even know it? I went into UBRS alone for the red santa hat. (got it first try) I was about to leave when idk I stayed to finish it for some reason. There was an obvious blaring new mob I'd never seen before! I chalked it up to me "missing" a boss the first "7" runs? Yeah... I know... but I had dailys to do and forgot all about it. So today I'm looking through my pets and I say "Where in the pits of Hell did I dig up this horrificly malformed monstrosity?!
I started farming for this pet on 6/1/18 with every character I have over level 105 (5 characters each day, essentially) and so that means I did around 20 runs before he spawned. Really happy. I was starting to get annoyed.
For the people who haven't seen him yet: don't give up! you'll find him soon. The easiest way to get there for Horde is to take the Dalaran teleport to "Old Dalaran" so hopefully that'll help with speed!
Zeran, while techincally correct, the Instability that Untamed Hatchling has is effectively exact same ability as Cataclysm.
i finally found him last night. good thing me and my friend were doing the dungeon together, cause he was the only one to get it and gave it to me (group finder dungeon with personal loot)
The Lanticore Spawnling is a desastrous enemy against Critter- and Magic-type Opponents. it has Sleeping Gas which is good as it has a good chunk of power, Triple Snap is a pure Critter-Killer and it is the only pet besides Lil' Deathwing that has Cataclysm,A really Hardhitting luck-based ability which can two-shot the opponent. Instead of Cataclysm you can also use Corrosion to be not so rng-dependant. The last two are good Heals that synergize well with this DPS-Beast of a Pet.
The mob only has a chance to spawn and then only has a chance to drop the pet. Expect this to require a lot of trips to UBRS.
In my opinion the best looking new pet, and I think there are some good ones. I noticed it only comes with 240 speed which is a bummer for sleeping gas but still a cool looking pet with a heal.

FROM: The Traveller SECTION: Nude in public PLEASE TITLE: Sophie on the plage II My beautiful gf Sophie during vacations in various locations in southern Europe. Shots taken during the last Trio years. I am so sorry I can't display the world her sweet face, albeit I think that peculiarly you Kate can imagine it, even blurred. At the beggining she didn't want to swim nude, neither of course to pose, but now she's a dedicated naturist, albeit she remains a rather timid and hesitating model. Thanks for the superb job and "don't publish my e-mail" to everybody. Two e-mails to go after.
teen beach body
Well guys these pic's were taKen to piss all those petite minded people off that are you there. We all know the one's too. They are the one's that can't find beauty in a beautiful woman. Well to tell you the truth I can't be all that bad I was in Austin for less than 15 min and had a date already just walking up to a counter. Jokey thing happens when a excellent looking blonde with fucking punch donk lengthy strong gams walks up in a pair of taut jean cut-offs. So for those of you that will make the bad comments, because you have "lil meek minds", these pic's are for you just to piss you off. Because there is no way in hell you would have the nut sack to walk up to me and say that, but if you did my Italian Chicago streetwise attitude will come out. In the past my sweet lady side would be hidden behind a wall of knuckle. But I'm a Humanist so no violence. I want to extend a superb big "HUG and Raw KISS" to all of you that leave the sweet and kinky comments on my BB. I get off reading those!! These pic's were taken in Austin this past weekend on my mansion hunting excursion. Had a friend take these. They are in Two parts since I had so many taken. I wish you could see this roller coaster highway system that this city has in the background of these pic's. Can anyone guess where I was. Here's a hint: There is a Chili's Restaurant on the corner of these two major highways. My motel was directly across the one next to another restaurant. P.S. Smooches JERRY!!! Kate and squad hope life is well!! Peace All!!

LITIGATION TENDS TO FALL INTO TWO GENERAL CATEGORIES. The first, and by far the most common, is a matter in which the goal is a rapid, favorable settlement. The second is a case that affects an issue critical to the client - a case that must be taken to trial and won. The Litigation Group at DeCotiis has expertise in handling both.
The Litigation Group consists of more than twenty-five lawyers who collectively have decades of trial experience at every level of both Federal and state courts. They have hundreds of published opinions to their credit, reflecting the breadth of their experience in trial and appellate courts alike, up to and including the Supreme Court of the United States.
Although we are primarily a defense firm, with an emphasis on commercial litigation, we routinely handle matters in other practice areas. These include labor and employment and civil rights law, white collar criminal defense, environmental law, public procurement and contracting law, land use, healthcare law, and personal injury. By working closely with other practices within the firm, we provide clients with a coordinated, cost-effective combination of trial expertise and in-depth subject knowledge.
The Litigation Group has particular talent, and an unmatched record, in representing public entities in significant or politically sensitive matters. Many of our members have held high-level government or regulatory posts.
Our approach to litigation combines aggressive advocacy with flexibility. If a case goes to court, we are aggressive, strategic trial lawyers, respected by both opposing counsel and the judiciary. Every case is unique, and we will pursue and try it that way. Our goal is always to win.
While we are justifiably proud of our record of success in court, some of our most significant successes involved negotiated solutions to problems that appeared to require litigation, and the utilization of alternate dispute resolution techniques to cut short matters that were already in litigation. The firm's efforts to resolve disputes at an early stage reflect its commitment to avoid the expense, delay and uncertainty of litigation wherever possible - a commitment that we make and uphold to all of our clients, be they major corporations or private citizens. Where recourse to the courts is a necessity, however, the Litigation Group has the resources, experience, and expertise needed to pursue relief until it is achieved.

Damon on return: 'It's something that I'm going to have think long and hard over'
Johnny Damon is thinking over whether he wants to return to Boston. He has until Wednesday afternoon to decide.
He confirmed that the Red Sox have claimed him on waivers. Now there are three options:
1. The Tigers pull him back.
2. The Tigers make a trade with the Red Sox.
3. The Tigers let him go for nothing, leaving the Red Sox on the hook for roughly $1.8 million.Damon's contract has a clause requiring him to approve a trade to all but eight teams on a list. The Yankees and Rays are on that list, the Red Sox are not. So Damon could seek financial incentive to approve the deal.
Here is what he told reporters in Detroit earlier today:
"It's probably as tough of a decision for me to make right now as it was for me to leave Boston for New York. It's something that, fortunately, we have some time to think about," he said.
"At this moment, I'm not sure I want to leave Detroit for that. I enjoy playing here. I enjoy the kids I'm playing for, the coaching staff. But obviously, Terry Francona is amazing. But it's something that I'm going to have think long and hard over.
"I had a great time playing there. But I think once it was apparent that I wasn't a necessity to re-sign there, it started to get ugly. And that's why I've got to think long and hard. I have to think if they do have a strong chance to make the playoffs with the guys beat-up there. I have to think long and hard if I'm going to once again be probably one of the nicest guys in baseball, but be once again the most hated guy in baseball. That's what it boils down. You guys see how I get booed in every ballpark already."
"The only reason why I would be considering it is to help out this team in the future. I love the Tigers organization, and I love the fact that they're up-front and honest. If somehow they can get a good prospect back, a player that can help this team in the future, it would be beneficial for them. I would like to remain a Tiger, so I think that's why these next hours are pretty important."
As for playing in Boston again, Damon has mixed feelings.
I had a great time playing there, and I did everything I could to go back, he said. I told the team what it would take, in terms of dollars and years but it got ugly when it became apparent that re-signing me wasnt a priority.
Damon said the booing and cursing he received from Red Sox fans while he played in the Yankees "absolutely" bothered him.
If I do this, and we pulled everything together and I could help them get into the postseason, it would change everything again, he said.
Damon is hitting .270 with 30 doubles, seven home runs and 40 RBIs. But he has played only 36 games in the outfield this season and is hitting .219 in August (16 of 78) with eight RBIs and 20 strikeouts.
Jason Varitek is all for the idea of Damon returning to Boston.
"He's a special player. He's pushing Hall of Fame-type numbers. And you add that Johnny's great in the clubhouse, he's a gamer on the field and one hell of a teammate," said the Red Sox captain, who called Damon one of his favorite teammates.
"It would be a nice opportunity. But we'll let him do what he needs to do to see what happens." ... Johnny knows we love him and always have. It's wishful thinking right now."

Tear Staining on the Face
A condition caused by excessive tearing and eye discharge that might irritate the eye of the pet. Tear staining on the face in pets is known as epiphora and is common in many toy breeds of dogs and some cats such as Persians and Himilayans. It is typically caused due to excessive tear formation, which is often a genetic condition. However, other issues that can cause tear staining on the face of cats and dogs include insufficient tear drainage and irritation caused by such things as dust/debris, infections or injuries.
How to Recognize
Tear staining on the face appears as wetness or dampness under the eyes.
Tear staining can be caused by irritation in the eyes, ineffective tear drainage, an eye infection, glaucoma, or injury.
Cat breeds such as Persians and Himalayans and dogs including Shih-tzus, Maltese, pugs, and other short-nosed breeds are more likely to have tear stains.
Not all causes require treatment. Talk to your veterinarian to see if treatment is necessary for your pet.
Tear Staining on the Face Affects
- Dogs
- Cats

The invite for the event, which takes place in California next Tuesday, says "Come and see what we're building". While it's possible that Facebook is simply unveiling another update to its website, there have been frequent rumours that the company plans to make its own mobile phone.
Recent reports have suggested that the company is working on a Facebook handset with manufacturer HTC. The new device would connect directly to a user's Facebook account and run software such as Facebook Messenger and Instagram, the picture sharing service Facebook bought last year.
Though Facebook has stressed that it needs to improve its mobile offerings - the company makes less from advertising to mobile users than to those who interact with the site on a PC - the company has never suggested that it would make its own handset.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder and chief executive, said last year: "Building out a phone wouldn't make sense for us to do."
Zuckerberg has talked in the past about the need to improve Facebook search, so there is some speculation that next week's event will be about that.

Hedge fund executives in London saw bonuses plummet last year, resulting in their pay packets being less than half of what they were 12 months ago.
The average bonus paid to a partner or a managing director of a London-based hedge fund stood at £1,236,000 in 2012/13 but this has fallen to £459,000 in 2013/14. Coupled with a decline in base salaries, total compensation packages are down almost £1m to £660,000.
The details from Emolument.com, a company that analyses salary rates, show there has been huge volatility in what hedge fund professionals are paid, although the most acute changes have been among the high earners.
In 2012/13, the average senior hedge fund professional earned £361,000 in salary and £1,236,000 in bonus, leading to a total package of £1,597,000. This has dropped to an average salary of £201,000 and a bonus of £459,000 this year – an average compensation of £660,000. While there has been a sharp slump over the last year, 2014 compensation packages are still more than in 2012 however when the average was £485,000.
The figures were collated by using data that was contributed anonymously.
Despite the sharp year on year decline in their overall packages, partners and managing directors still earn almost three times what mid-ranking employees take home. Directors and vice-presidents in hedge funds now earn an average of £226,000 compared with £307,000 two years ago. It is however an increase on last year, when the average person surveyed in that bracket earned £196,000.

Customer Raves
"All I can say is what a difference it has been to work on a personal basis with Nelson and his team, versus the big, cold banks and their generic process. I'm never going back there again!
Birch Financial has been my business partner since we started the business over ten years ago. Since that time they have probably financed 60-75% of our vehicles. Why are they so different? Why do I swear by them? In short, they 'get' the landscape business. Their whole business is geared toward helping small to medium sized owners in the California landscape industry. That's why they have a much better understanding of the business. Short and simple…but there's more…
I would say there were three key benefits to working with Birch
- You get the personal touch: work directly, owner to owner.
- They're ultra competitive: their rates are better and they formulate the deal to work with your budget.
- They make it easy to do business: no fuss, no muss, the way you dreamed it could be.
Our place has been robbed twice and all our equipment stolen. One of those times was when my wife and I were away on an Alaskan cruise. I was so worried about the future of my business that I called Nelson direct from somewhere off the coast of Alaska and informed him of the unfortunate news. Nelson told me to enjoy my time away with my wife and he would look after everything when we got back, refinancing all of our equipment again.
I believe that is what you would call a "Business Partner." And I'm proud to call him such!
If you're wondering whether to do business with Birch, don't waste your time…call me and I'll give you a personal reference to one of the best companies a member of the green industry will ever find!"

A Portal is a magical passage that will teleport a person, creature or cargo to another area. Unlike plain Teleport, which is transporting the bearer (or target) alone through the effort of mind and magic, Portals are gateways that can exist for continuous time. Portals can be passed through by anyone, even non-mages, if they can physically fit into the wormhole. Some portals are temporary or even one-use only, while others can exist (and remain active) for aeons.
Portals, like Waypoints, transport the player to another location. One key difference between them is that Waypoints can only teleport the player to areas that he/she has already been to, while portals are sometimes the only way to new or inaccessible areas.
Portals are most often blue or red, though other variations also exist. Generally, red color indicates that the portal was opened by the magic of Burning Hells, with some exceptions.
Blue Town Portals were introduced in the very first Diablo and have remained a relatively consistent aspect throughout the series.
Town Portals can be opened with a Scroll of Town Portal to grant a quick return to Tristram.
The Unholy Altar is the only red portal in Diablo.
Diablo IIEdit
Portals become even more predominant in Diablo II with multiple towns and many more locations available, with some being completely inaccessible until a portal to them is opened.
Blue PortalsEdit
Blue portals are always Town Portals, and thus give access to the Act's respective towns. They can be summoned by NPCs, certain Shrines, as well as players by use of a Scroll of Town Portal.
Once the player summons this portal, it only dissipates if the player that cast it goes through and returns. So it is very useful in co-operative play to have 2 party members create portals so that the entire party can go back to town, to heal and repair. Just make sure that the players who summoned the portals go through each other's portals and not through their own portal.
Red PortalsEdit
Red Portals are more powerful and permanent portals which never dissipate unless their use is finished.
They link many inaccessible areas in the world of Sanctuary.
This is a list of all the areas linked by Red Portals:
- Tristram (This is the first red portal seen in Diablo II)
- Canyon of the Magi
- Harrogath
- Abaddon
- Pit of Acheron
- Infernal Pit
- Nihlathak's Temple
- Terror's End / Destruction's End (These portals do not lead to any location, but instead open the final cinematic for the game and expansion respectively; Terror's End is replaced with portal to Harrogath in the expansion)
- Moo Moo Farm
The portal to Tristram can only be opened by touching the Cairn Stones in a specific order, as found within the Scroll of Inifuss. This can only be done whilst one the Search for Cain quest.
The portal to the hidden Canyon of the Magi is opened by reading Horazon's Journal within the Arcane Sanctuary. Note that the journal is guarded by The Summoner. To get to the Arcane Sanctuary, players must find a hidden portal beneath the Lut Gholein Palace (in the former cellar of an ancient Vizjerei fortress).
The portals to Abbadon, the Pit of Acheron and the Infernal Pit are extra areas that can be used for levelling and item hunting.
It may be useful to know that the portal to Nihlathak's Temple will not close unless the Waypoint at the Halls of Pain is activated. This may be useful to farm Pindleskin, a unique monster famous for high level drops.
The portal to the Moo Moo Farm is created by transmuting a Tome of Town Portal with Wirt's Leg in the Horadric Cube. It gives access to the legendary Secret Cow Level.
Infernal GateEdit
In addition to the more typical portals, the Pandemonium Fortress in the fourth act is reached by entering the Infernal Gate, ritually summoned by the three Prime Evils. It is also the namesake of the third act: The Infernal Gate. It is red-orange and horrific to behold.
In-game, this gate is simply labeled as "Portal".
Diablo IIIEdit
In addition to waypoints and Town Portals (which can now be summoned at will, without scrolls), some portals also exist in Diablo III, leading to following locations:
- Archives of Zoltun Kulle and subzones (Unknown Depths, Storm Halls and Soulstone Chamber)
- Realm of Shadow
- Realms of Chaos, Discord, Turmoil and Fright (opened by Infernal Machine in Heretic's Abode, New Tristram)
- High Heavens (opened by Diablo at the top of the Bastion's Keep Watchtower at the end of Act III)
- Unknown location (opened by Adria)
- Hell Rifts
- Gardens of Hope (opened by Auriel or connecting the two tiers)
- Silver Spire (including Great Span)
- Battlefields of Eternity
- Pandemonium
- Realm of the Banished (opened by Realmwalker)
- Pandemonium Fortress (including traveling between its levels and to the Heart of the Fortress)
- Malthael's portal used to transport the Black Soulstone to Sanctuary and back
- Treasure Realm
- Not The Cow Level
- Nephalem Rifts and Greater Rifts
- Set Dungeons
- Forsaken Repose and back to Greyhollow Island
- Secret arenas: Leoric's Gardens, The Killing Grounds, Blighted Sewer, The Archives, The Bound Keep, Nephalem Proving Ground
- The Darkening of Tristram (time-lost version of Tristram)

BASRA Iraq (Reuters) - The head of Iraq's state-run South Oil Company Dhiya Jaffar said on Wednesday that Exxon Mobil has carried out a "major evacuation" of their staff and BP had evacuated 20 percent of its staff.
He said ENI, Schlumberger, Weatherford, and Baker Hughes had no plans to evacuate staff from Iraq following the lightning advance of Sunni militants through the country.
The companies, which are based in southern Iraq where the government is still in firm control, were not immediately available for comment.
"This message is not satisfactory for us. We are not convinced the work should not be done remotely. They should be here on the ground," Jaffar told Reuters.
"I assure the companies that the current developments in the country have not affected and will not affect in anyway the operations in the south," he said, adding that the export level for June will be 2.7 million barrels per day.

He has raced in British GT since 2011, and has a total of 11 GT3 wins, the joint most in British GT history, and has won the title twice, something he is looking to do all over again with TF Sport and Am driver Derek Johnston this year.
We caught up with Jonny ahead of the Silverstone British GT round to see why he has spent so much of his career in GT racing.
"GT racing has led me to professional driving status and I've had a contract with Aston Martin now since 2013," he says. "British GT is a really important part of the Aston programme and it's still a personal goal for me to try and win another championship.
"I still do a lot of driver coaching in the UK so British GT has got a nice profile and appeals to a lot of people. So, to still be at the front of the championship certainly helps with that."

Book 4 in the Chaos series is now available to purchase on Amazon US,UK, etc., Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords,Google Play, and iBookstore US, UK, CA, AU, etc.
It's been a year since Cara returned to the human realm with her daughter, and the fae have come knocking again. The game of kings is still being played, power is the ultimate prize, and Scarlet is an asset every court wishes to acquire.
As Sadler's next move is revealed to be his deadliest yet, and Scarlet's burgeoning powers begin to develop into something that can't be hidden, Cara realises that something more significant than a faery promise is needed to protect her family. It's time for her to build on what she started in Sadler's court.
But although the game is seductive, the price of winning might be too costly for a human to pay.

Beginner's Mind: A first-time online teacher's experience, so far.
The year has just started, so realistically all I ever expected to report on were first impressions anyway, of what it means to teach online at the secondary level, of how this great adventure begins. Conclusions? Well, they will have to wait until later, to be able to say, yes, you can teach the Quebec program the way it was meant to be taught, yes students can learn constructively, yes synchronous really means real-time. For now it is not about projecting into the future, but staying grounded in the present. It is all new, all the time. That's what I tell the students. And that that will be our force.
Zenlive is our platform, an interactive space where students can see and hear me and where they can interact with each other, just like in a real classroom. Re-read those words, a real classroom. Real walls? Real windows? Real live students? If I think too much about it I find myself doubting what is real at all. Zenlive is an experience, for me and for them, where nothing is like it was before, everything is new and each step is conscious and fresh at the same time.
"Are we going to get to see our teacher?" If they had been spoken aloud the words might have echoed off the pale walls of a freshly painted classroom, that new September smell. But these words were texted to us in a small space at the bottom of the interface, hardly noticeable except to the experienced online teachers present. It was both an awkward reminder that I would have to rely on the technology's limits to communicate, but also that their questions might now come to me in a form that they have mastered and that I have not: the text message! My response to this question in my first few days was to test their web cameras at every chance I got, to have them respond to questions as if we were all together, to see and hear them like before. Their response was more often than not a LOL or 🙂 or sometimes a :-/ or a :u or even a 😐 if they just didn't get it. I was in another world, their world. And indeed, I was the beginner too.
This will be our force, I had said. And so the next few days were spent trying out features like the breakout rooms in Zenlive. I drag their avatar into a room and they work on a whiteboard, chat and even talk (though they didn't talk much) with another two classmates. It worked, sort of. They were able to construct for themselves a sense to the question asked of them, so when I brought them all back together they might share what they had learned. "Who was in the breakout room number two?" I said. But no one knew. I hadn't thought to write down who was where. Simply relying on the technology to do everything for me just wasn't going to do it. My first mistake in online classroom management was to forget to manage online.
Only a few more notes before I end, because frankly today I need all morning to plan the next classes! First off, technology means it will eventually break, so you always need a backup plan, several if possible. Technology also means you have to talk slowly, because your tech is not always their tech, and you can't rely on kilobits and cpu cycles to always be the same for everyone. The upside here is that the information must be clear and concise, and you must repeat things a lot! And finally, technology still does mean a world of teaching with almost no limits, however that implies setting limits, making goals, and restricting your line of thinking so that we are all on the same page. For example, introduce new tools one at a time and include exploration time for students (and the teacher!), time to make mistakes.
And so, this week's plans? It's History Sec. 4, so of course we will…Respond to a problem, in the context of a situation. We will formulate questions, search and organize information using a prescribed method. We will rigorously reason and interpret the facts, then form an opinion. And after all is said and done, we will present our findings using… Voicethread! a "collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments using voice, text, audio file, or video." Well, >:o and >:O and :-O and °o° and °O°! And :-S because that's a whole lot of things that are about to break. And finally 😎 because now all eyes are wide and open, including mine.
[Are you teaching and/or learning online? What do you think?]

I remember teaching this course online. We used a combination of Dimdim and Skype. It certainly is a challenge and your material was VERY helpful. Most people don't realise that teaching online requires far more preparation than a regular face-to-face classroom .In particular it is more difficult to know which students are understanding and which need more assistance. So much of our communication is through body language – for both teacher and student – and teaching/learning online means learning a whole new way of communication.
On the other hand – what a fantastic start to life! Our students who began this type of program three years ago are now in college and doing so well. They were stretched a lot at the beginning, but it has paid off and they know it!
We don't have any secondary 3/4 history students at SHCA this year, but I'm sure you'll do a super job with the students who are enrolled in your class.
Good luck!
I agree with you Sinead, the prep is HUGE when you teach online. Paul, it's so interesting to read your impressions. Reality – are the kids really here in class? Should I think of a breakout room as a separate room? And today, Zen was acting up so that when one student sent me a private message, it appeared to come from another girl altogether! I just couldn't get my head around that. It was unreal! I'm so glad you have joined the team – you are just the right mix of teacher, techie-person, and excellent communicator!

Aura Colors and Their Meanings
Merry Meet :)))
Today I thought I'd write a little bit about the colors of a person's aura and what they mean. Some people are able to see these colors pretty easily. I must confess I'm not one of them. :) As an empath I can feel much more then I can see. However I will see various shades on people, but for me it's different and I was curious if anyone saw the same. I see shades ranging from bright sparkly whites with rainbow bits like described below, usually gifted children that may have autism or asperger's, to beautiful golden shades indicating a person's health, down to gray if they are ill or getting ready to cross. I can tell if someone will cross soon as their light is very dim, and gray in color is the best I can describe. I'm not sure if I see this way because I'm an empath or for some other reason and I'm unsure why I see this way as opposed to colors.
Let's back up a little. What is an Aura?
For those who may not know the aura is the electro-magnetic field that surrounds your body and the body of every living thing. For those of us who are sensitives, this is what we are sensitive to and helps us be so intuitive. These particles of energy surround your body in an egg like shape. It extends from the body by about 2 - 3 feet on all sides.
You can practice trying to see your aura by standing against a white wall. Then you need to focus your attention on one spot, say your nose and just let your mind relax and see what colors may develop.
For those of you who may be able to see colors or are curious to their meanings I have put together the following for you as a guide.
Aura Colors
Pink - Loving, sensitive, artistic, may indicate clairaudience.
- Muddied Pink - can indicate dishonesty, being fake
Red - powerful, determined, energetic and passionate.
- Bright Red - grounded, realistic
- Muddied Red - Can indicate anger, overwhelmed by change, or frustration
Orange - Excited, lots of energy, self-expression, creative, adventurous, socially outgoing, sensuality
- Orange-yellow - creative, intelligent, perfectionist
- Muddied Orange - lacking reason, self-discipline
Yellow - Bright and happy, alert, inspired, intelligent, creative, playful, optimistic
- Light Yellow - emerging spiritual awareness, optimism, or excitement for a new idea.
- Bright yellow - struggling to maintain control, fear of losing control
- Muddied yellow - student, overanalyzing, fatigued, stressed, ego-driven
Gold - Spiritual energy and power, enlightenment, divine protection
Green - Comfortable, healthy, peaceful, nurturing, intelligent, close to nature, teacher, social
- Emerald Green - May be a healer
- Yellow Green - creative with heart
- Muddy Green - Jealous, resentment, envy, frustration, loss
Turquoise - Sensitive, can easily influence others, therapists
Blue - Calm, composed, loving, sensitive, intuitive, loves to help others, freethinking
- Light Blue - peaceful, caring, truthful
- Bright Blue - Clairvoyant, very spiritual, generous
- Muddy Blue - Afraid of the future, fear of self-expression or speaking truth, sadness, mournful
Indigo - Intuitive, sensitive
Purple or Violet - Wise, psychic power, attunement with self, intuitive, magickal
Lavender - imagination, daydreamer
Silver - abundance
- Bright Silver - Receptive to new ideas
Black - can indicate long term unforgiveness, may indicate entities within a person's aura, needs compassion, unresolved karma
Gray - Depressed, pessimistic, negative
White - Pure state of light, often a new energy in the aura, purity and truth, angelic
Brown - Grounded, down to Earth
- Muddied Brown - Feeling Worthless, anxious, distracted by past issues
Rainbow - May indicate a starperson someone in their first incarnation on earth.

I love this ~ thank you! It's funny, I thought I was kookie until I just read your post on WHS. No matter how I try, I have trouble seeing the auras of those that I am not connected to, or those with a strong vibration.ReplyDelete
Which leads me to this... I usually "sense" the color of people, if I meditate on them and close my eyes, I will see their aura and its color(s).
These are the auras that I will actually see, as best as I can describe them, with my actual eyes ~ rainbow people, a kind of a shimmering, sun's ray beaming out of the person aura, yellow, and the gray of the dying.
My sisters each have their usual colors, which change with emotion, sickness, etc. The surgeon who is operating on me on Tuesday is both a beautiful warm golden glow, and bright, clear green, like Emerald City Green. I cannot see, or even sense, everybody's aura.
I also wonder how our own perception of color affects how we sense or see them. For instance, when I was little, my oldest sister told me that red is Mother Nature's way of saying "Danger, stay away!" and I have always had an aversion to red, sensing it as a color of danger, the color of war and violence.
So, I really don't use red, especially bright red in ritual or on my altar. I just wonder if even the most intuitive of us see or interpret colors in their commonly assigned meaning, or if we see the color that we associate more personally with an attribute, mood, etc.
My sister struggled for years with an illness that took her life. But I never saw her in gray. She was warm, soft pink to me in health, and carried rainbows with her in the years leading up to her death.
She was an amazingly incredible woman, the best of the sisters by far, and the only person that I ever knew who passed over without the usual gray shroud.
Anyway, I am glad to know that you sense/see things, as well, Jasmeine. I think that sometimes what I see in this way is more reliable than what I see with my eyes...
- AnonymousJune 26, 2012 at 7:45 PM
I really like this list of meanings, it is the most accurate that I have found. I can read auras when I connect energies with people. I only see the base color of the aura but as an empath I can sense the rest. I wasn't able to actually see auras until a couple weeks ago when I had a spiritual break through. Before that I could sense the general color but could not see it. Thank you for your page!ReplyDelete
Thankyou for telling the colours! I wondered what they ment. Especially the blue, pink, black, gold, white and green. They were the usual colours I saw. Thank you!!!! :•)ReplyDelete

Today while sitting outside with some friends, I noticed that another friend was sitting alone at a picknick table the out of no where I noticed what looked like a rainbow radiating all around him.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 5, 2015 at 12:46 AM
I wanna share my experience though but I thought it was the effect of opening my third eye to see auras. I'm not quite sure if the thing I saw is reallt an aura. This happened when I woke up today at 4 in the morning to get ready for school but actually my usual waking time is 4:30. So, I just closed my eyes trying to go back to sleep. But a few moments later, I was shocked of I saw because the moon was a Full Moon last night and now, 4 in the morning it was so bright. I noticed that there was some kind of an egg-shaped growing. I thought it was just the one they call "Halo". But when I saw this post, I'm a little confused. Does the moon even have an aura? Please Reply! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Merry Meet :))) The Moon has what appears to be a halo that is made up of water vapor. The same thing is actually around the sun but we can't see it because the Moon is so bright. It looks just like a rainbow depending on the view that you have so this can sometimes be confusing. :))) I hope this helps! :))Delete
Much Love and Many Blessings,

England Captain Made Strange Decision | Cricocean | Match Preview
England v Pakistan | Second Investec Test, Day 3
Today Match Preview
Alister Cook, England captain made strange decision by deciding to bat again in second innings of second test match between England v Pakistan. Remember Pakistan were follow on after scoring just 198 runs. On a day mostly covered with clouds it looks a strange decision. The match was stopped due to rain many times. Here is a quick match preview for our readers.
Earlier Pakistan started on their innings on the overnight score but kept on loosing wicket at regular intervals. None of the batsmen stayed on the wicket for long period of time. Misbah was the only one who managed to score half century. But just after scoring half century he got out on a sweep caught by Cook on the bowling of Moeen Ali. He scored 52 runs on 114 balls with the help of 4 fours.
The second highest scorer was Wahab Riaz who scores 39 runs of 86 balls. He scored 5 fours and 1 six before he was caught by Hales on the bowling of Moeen Ali. No other batsmen managed to impress at all. And the whole team got out scoring just 198 in 63.4 overs.
England although having a strong lead of 391 runs, still decided to bat again. Although many people thought that these were enough runs to bowl out Pakistan and England should not bat again. This decision looks even worst when rain stopped play couple of times. England managed to score 98 runs for the loss of 1 wicket till close of play.
Alex Hales got out after scoring 24 runs on the bowling of Mohammad Amir. Sarfraz took a good catch behind the stumps. England now lead by 489 runs with 9 wickets and 2 days of play remaining.
Pakistan will be hopping for the rains to come for at least 2 sessions on day 4 so that they may save the game. Although the forecast for the next two days is cloudy but there are little chances of rain. Now let's see how this decision of Cook proved to be in future. In case rain came for two or more than two sessions then it will be a good chance for Pakistan to save the match.
Match Prediction
The match prediction meter shows England as favorites. The chances of England to win is 69 percent. Chances of draw are 30 percent. While chances of Pakistan victory is only 1 percent.
Where to watch live match on PTV Sports
Match is telecast live by many broadcasters in the world like Start Sports, FOX sports and PTV Sports. You can watch live cricket match on PTV Sports live streaming.

I hate moving. I did once add up how many houses I've lived in over the course of my life - it's WELL into double figures - large double figures. In the eight years Dragon Dad and I have been together, this will be my 7th move. That's just ridiculous. But it's also a long term pattern. The longest time I've ever lived in one place was six years - the house my parents bought when I was three and a half. That's a long time ago, and wasn't really a very long time.
On the one hand, it's a huge relief. This move has been 'pending' for the last eighteen months - if something can actually be pending for that long! It will be a good move for us for a great many reasons - not least being that Dragon Dad will no longer have to commute when the business is busy, as much of the business end of things are located there. I have lots of people on the ground there, while my network here has slowly shrunk since ceasing outside work, and getting sicker. It's WAY cheaper to live there than it is here - the rent on the new place is less than half what we're paying here. It is a smaller house, BUT it's a much nicer house. And we don't need a house the size of the current one. And it's still going to be cheaper than a similar house would be here, given the location. There is a great shul community there, and lots going on, so that will be a big part of our lives again. Big backstory that I'm not going into here, but it's been something missing for us for quite a while here.
However, on the other hand, there will be losses. The two family members with whom I'm closest - No.1 son and a cousin - are here. The Stepson is here. My wonderful rheumatologist is here. He has someone lined up for me in the new city, and he assures me that the new guy and I will get along, as their methods and approach are very similar. My fabulous GP is here. It is SO hard finding a good, old-school GP. My awesome physiotherapist is here. The physio who, after thirty years of a dodgy chronic neck issue and countless physios who've treated it, not only fixed it, but gave me exercises to maintain function AND special ones to do if it starts to seize so that it won't. I've not had to have it treated since... I have seen her for numbers of other issues, but not the neck. We have a wonderful veterinary team here too, so I'll have to find a replacement for them as well.
Finding replacement medical teams is hard. Very hard. They are very important relationships, given I have an active chronic illness. I'll do it, because it must be done. But it will be a challenge, and I do SO loathe doctor shopping. I do have a dentist there - saves me hiding behind my fear of them to put off the necessary work, which you can read about HERE.
And then there are the logistics. ANY move is a challenging event. Interstate moves are so much more challenging. At the very least - on the positive side - there will be removalists doing it, and everything will be moved in one hit. Unlike the way we've done the last few moves, with Dragon Dad hiring a van and doing most of the heavy lifting. We do still have to pack, and once Dragon Dad gets going, he's a cyclone, so inevitably, there have been important things that have taken ages to find at the other end because his packing logic is completely different to mine. Given he's planning to get the cats and me there ahead of the truck loading here, I need to make sure that the list I'm making today of crucial items are in boxes I pack and label so that I can find them with a minimum of angst when the truck arrives and I'm supervising the unloading. Last time we moved I couldn't find the kettle for a few days. Dragon Dad doesn't drink tea or coffee, so no impact for him. It was another story entirely for me!
It'll be a huge adjustment for the cats. They came to this house as kittens. So there'll be new spaces to conquer. A new yard to explore. New crazy sprint routes to map out for their lunatic periods - it's one of those houses that, due to the layout and position of doors, offers a circular loop that will enable high speed laps, as long as the strategic doors are open!
We're offloading a large quantity of furniture. Part of this move is the fresh start - the first house Dragon Dad and I will share that's just the two of us. Coincidentally, the Stepson is moving out (of his mother's place) and into a share apartment with his girlfriend and they have nothing. So they're scoring most of what we don't want. Some of it would have had to go anyway, because we're downsizing, but it's time for a change. Most of it is Dragon Dad's from when HE moved out, and it'll be nice to refurnish with things we choose together. While I'm not a hoarder - he sometimes says I am, but I'm really not - moving constantly since early childhood means I've got emotional attachments to certain items of furniture and various bits and pieces because they mean 'home' to me. So regardless of the actual dwelling, as long as I have those things, it can become home. I have to be quite stubborn about those, because Dragon Dad is the opposite. He is quite capable of dumping an entire house full of furniture and starting over from scratch. Given that most of my remnants of household gods went when I moved in with him, I'm not prepared to give up any more. At least that means we'll have a dining table straight off in the new house, because my vintage baker's table is definitely going with us!
Writing this blog post is partly a means of processing that this much talked about move is now an actual reality and the next few weeks are going to be [awful] hectic. And I'm procrastinating. The Stepson's move starts happening later today when Dragon Dad goes to pick up the rented van, and I have a bedside table to empty out. No great loss, that one - part of a collection of timber chests of drawers with baskets for drawers - ruinous for stockings and anything delicate and I've always loathed them!
ONE useful thing that did occur to me this morning that could count as a benefit... the census next week requires our address to be included, and that's to be kept for four years, instead of the previous 18 months. Well, it'll be accurate for roughly two and a half weeks, and then we won't be living here, so what they have for the next four years for our location won't be valid. That kind of tickles too!
So, now I need to bite the bullet. Pause briefly to eat some lunch, make my lists properly, and get on with it.

When hundreds of seasoned and aspiring meteorologists submitted applications to compete in a reality television show featuring hilarious weather-related challenges, a SUNY Oswego alumna was among the 12 finalists chosen.
Christina Faraone '11 of Walden, N.Y., was selected to join the latest charge in the reality TV movement as a contestant on "America's Next Weatherman." TBS teamed up with comedy website Funny or Die for the new series, produced by Mark Burnett and United Artists Media Group.
The grand prize: $100,000, an agent and an appearance forecasting the weather on CNN.
Contenders sparred through assignments about weather knowledge, while the show's producers devised odd situations and weather-inspired snafus for them to navigate. Faraone, a marine meteorologist for the FleetWeather Group, made it to the Final Four before she was eliminated on Sept. 19.
"The most rewarding thing about doing the show was all the new friends I made along the way," Faraone said. "I still keep in touch with the other contestants."
Faraone, whose most memorable moments on the show included dressing up as Tornado Terri to teach kids about tornadoes and creating a rap song about the weather, said the show was a fun way to teach others about meteorology—a passion she nurtured as a student at SUNY Oswego.
"SUNY Oswego is, in my opinion, the best place to get a meteorology degree," Faraone said. "The professors are wonderful."
Faraone, who just earned her Federal Aviation Administration Aircraft Dispatcher Certification, returns to campus once a year to attend the student-run Great Lakes Atmospheric Science Symposium. She will continue pursuing a career in aviation meteorology.
