Ancient Torture Devices
Thousands of years ago it was common to make nagging wives wear a metal mask. In the Middle Ages some women wore chastity belts so they couldn't cheat. Check out these torture devices. Back to Article
Compared to torture devices I've heard of, these are nothing.
I would like to have a little chat to whoever invented these things...
I'm glad I didn't live in the Middle Ages
It's was sooo ####### back then...
(but now men are the ones being violated and torured how sad )
forget the torture I got something better in mind 4 my enemy.... my hate enemy that I hate so much.
To XxCryxX: lol!
Okay, get someone you hate and do.everything that this artclie said!

That is inhumane and disgusting =_=;
Eeee......that's mean.....and I bet it really hurt..........
That's so cruel

suPHP 0.7.0 compatible with ISPConfig2 ?
On 25-12-2008 suPHP 0.7.0 has been released. Within this release, some major items has slightly changed and for this reason, i was wondering if it is compatible with the current ISPConfig version 2.2.29.
On a Debian test-server with ISPConfig 2.2.29 and suPHP 0.6.3 installed, i did the following to upgrade suPHP to version 0.7.0:
cd /tmp
wget http://www.suphp.org/download/suphp-0.7.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz suphp-0.7.0.tar.gz
cd suphp-0.7.0
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-apache-user=www-data --with-setid-mode=paranoid --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2
make install
The result:
sites which make use of suPHP did not work anymore and an Internal server error occurred. Within the log file of the web i saw errors like:
SecurityException in Application.cpp:511: Unknown Interpreter: php
Premature end of script headers: index.php
Within the log file /var/log/suphp.log nothing appears.
Probably, to use suPHP 0.7.0 on an ISPConfig 2 server some items need to be configured. Anyway, after puzzling for some time, i don't get it to work the normal way.
Maybe this problem is because suPHP_AddHandler and suPHP_RemoveHandler directives can now be used on per vhost level, but i'm not sure.
Can you ISPConfig developers have a look at this behaviour and find a solution. Until then, i don't recommend to upgrade to suPHP 0.7.0 yet. (Remember that ít is not a security release).
Thanks in advance!
Can you post your /etc/suphp.conf file for me (us) to examine? I have not tried 0.7.0 yet, but can look through the config to look for inconsistencies...
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks for your reply.
Within the attachment, you find the config file. (I renamed it suphp.conf to suphp.txt).
I had the same problem with version 0.7.0 is suPHP, which I have just solved.
The problem lies in the configuration file, you enter "" as shown below.
I will try your solution on a test server. :)
Wait to thank me ... hihi:D:rolleyes:;)
sorry but there is still a mistake made on my part, this is the correct version is tested for ISPCONFIG.
Ok then i will use that solution! :)
I'll let you know if it works for me as well.
In the mean time i've installed suPHP 0.7.0 on a Debian test server with ISPConfig 2.2.29, and i can confirm it works great!
Thanks again for your solution.
How exactly did yo make it work. Any special settings?I tried to install ispconfig svn version and suphp 0.7.0 on an ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. The ubuntu installation was fresh following the perfect ubuntu server 8.04 tutorial:
To compile suphp I used the tutorial from:
When I try to access index.php I get 500 error internal server error.
Any ideas?
Make sure you have the following lines at the end of your suphp.conf:
;Handler for php-scripts
;Handler for CGI-scripts
Then it should work.
Thanks for your help.
I think that small details make all the difference. I had the same lines in my suphp.conf file but without the quotes.
Now everything works as expected
Thank you

Friday, December 26th, 2014
The pioneer of unisex collections, Rad Hourani completed and presented his couture collection #11 for Autumn/Winter 2014. Although he did not stray away from his signature color palette, black, navy and white , he leveled-up his sartorial sculpturing skills.
Womenswear design this season is going through it umpteenth filtration. With the constant recycling and renovation of passed decades and trends, it's quite a hard job to come up with a real clever twist. Androgynous fashion though, has come a long way since Marlene Dietrich and Annie Hall.
Jona of InAisce developed a unisex line of clothes that melds the lines between mythical and avant garde fashion.
We are smitten with these gorgeous Chloé fringed leather loafers. These loafers are bedecked with a gold-tone, metal-tipped, kiltie-fringe giving them the perfect edge. Pair them with tailored trousers to continue with an androgynous look or contrast them with a feminine dress for a softer appeal.

SIZZLER: Where In the World Is Carmen & Navarro?
Sad news comes to us today from the world of True Love, in the form of an announcement that model/actress Carmen Electra and her rocker husband Dave Navarro are "amicably seperating", which is publicist-speak for "if Dave bangs another random bimbo, Carmen would have no choice but to cut off his tattooed weiner, the illegality of which might jeopardize the acting career she's been trying to get off the ground for the past decade". How their undying love, which was symbolically celebrated inside a coffin on a reality show, could have come to such an abrupt demise is beyond human comprehension. Though I have a hunch that Dave's latest love interest has more than a little to do with it.
The Rise and Fall of Adrien Brody
Think back to a few years ago, when Adrien Brody was Hollywood's "It Boy". With his Oscar in hand, and Halle's saliva in his piehole, the guy was on top of the world. A little while later, some of you may have seen a thin layer of glitter covering the ground, remnants of Brody's star falling. But nothing — nothing — could prepare us for the item in today's Page Six: Brody was seen "snuggling" with Ukranian ice skater/drunk driver Oksana Baiul at a pre-ESPY party in LA. While Brody is denying the claim (and you know Oksan-san is throwing a mail-order-bride fit in some random hotel room right now), just the idea of it is still quite scarring.
Then it occurred to us: Has Adrien Brody's career really taken a turn this far south? Wethinks yes. And in order to prove out point, we've created a painfully accurate, highly mathematical graph, which we've called "Adrien Brody's Fame-O-Meter", to prove our point. To wit:
Is it too late for Brody to climb back to the top? Will his upcoming movie with Ben Affleck, Hollywoodland, allow him to reclaim his status as a leading man? You decide!

SIZZLER: The One Where Jennifer Aniston Sucks It Up
We-he-hell. Look who's crawlin' back to the masses: Jennifer Aniston! We remember back to last year when the newly divorced Aniston refused to get together for a Friends reunion, citing that she wished to "distance" herself from her character, Rachel Green. For weeks, America fell to its knees, begging with a deafening insistence "Jen! Please! Come back to us! We need ya!" But she left us cold, dreaming of simpler days, days of easily-copied haircuts and wading through city fountains with our best buds.
But now, Aniston is whistling a different tune. All of a sudden, she thinks it would be "fun" to do a Friends reunion. Fun! She speculates that she might enjoy a Thanksgiving reunion. Hey, Jen, do you think we'd forget? Forget how callously you left us hanging? Why don't you explain to the hole in my heart where you've been for the past two years, eh, Jennifer? How dare you toy with the hearts and souls of the American people like that? Didn't you hear? There's a war going on. Yeah – a war. This is no time to drop rumors that maybe you might be interested in a Friends Reunion special.
Oh God. What have we done? Jenny, baby, doll, we're kidding! We need you. The world needs you! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be rocking myself back and forth in the corner of my bedroom crying with Matt LeBlanc.

text: I read his backstory to the end, and my view on this character has shifted considerably from what I initially thought, and made me reminisce a bit more on Palpatine's philosophy of how there is no such thing as good or evil, and that neither Sith nor Jedi can claim they are either. It makes me wonder why or how the Jedi could've possibly sided with the Huk when they were the true catalysts of the conflict between the Kaleesh, and were feigning weakness to frame the reformed Kaleesh under Grievous that were about to win the war. After that the Republic sanctioned the Kaleesh and left them to starve to death, and the Huk began to do the same horrible things they did before. He is manipulated by the IGBC, and was accordingly betrayed later and left to die. When reconstructed, his brain was tampered with to increase his loyalty to the Separatists and Dooku, ensuring he was their slave. His entire life after becoming Grievous was pointless and nothing more than as a disposable tool for Dooku and Sidious, as evident by Dooku's plan to frame and kill him after feigning defeat to Anakin on the Invisible Hand, and of how Sidious would get Anakin to kill him if he did survive Utapu due to his significant role in the Separatists, and how the Kaleesh were hunted down later for the same reason. While its true he did horrible things under his allegiance to the Sith, I can't really see him as evil anymore, and quite miserable instead. What do you think?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Joel Campbell will return to his pre-season plans once his World Cup campaign is over.
The Costa Rica international was snapped up by Arsenal from Saprissa in 2011, but is yet to make his first team debut.
Work permit issues provided an early stumbling block, forcing Campbell out on loan.
Spells at Lorient in France and Real Betis in Spain were taken in before the relevant paperwork was processed in the summer of 2013.
Arsenal were still keen for him to get further experience under his belt, though, and allowed the 21-year-old to spend the 2013/14 campaign in Greece with Olympiakos.
He caught the eye in domestic and UEFA Champions League competition and was brimming with confidence in Costa Rica's World Cup opener against Uruguay on Saturday.
A man of the match display saw him find the target in a shock 3-1 win, and Arsenal are now ready to welcome a 'maturing' performer back into the fold at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger told the Daily Mail: "He will definitely come back to us for pre-season.
"He is maturing well."
Campbell is considered to be ready for a shot at life in the Premier League, with a man who knows that scene well backing the youngster to be a success.
Former Derby County, West Ham United and Manchester City striker Paulo Wanchope is now assistant coach of the Costa Rica national side and has seen enough of Campbell to suggest that he has the potential to be a useful asset for Arsenal.
He said in the Daily Telegraph: "He really wants to go back to Arsenal and play and I told him that the only way to do that is on the pitch.
"He did well today (against Uruguay) and I think that he needs to perform even better against Italy and then England to have that chance to go back to Arsenal."

Vinnie Paul on Pantera Reunion: If Eddie Van Halen Died, Would You Ask Zakk Wylde to Fill In?
In a new interview, Vinnie Paul expressed his feeling that people are being selfish with the constant demand for a Pantera reunion.
In a new interview, Vinnie Paul expressed his feeling that people are being selfish with the constant demand for a Pantera reunion.
Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown joined forces to rock two Pantera classics at the 2014 Download festival, plus Anselmo once again addresses reunion talk.
The first rule of cat pants gang is: wear your damn cat pants. The second rule of cat pants gang is: look fabulous in your badass cat pants.
It may not be the full-on Pantera reunion that many have clamored for, but it's as close as you'll get for now. Kill Devil Hill, performing at Rock on the Range over the weekend, staged a mini-Pantera reunion as Philip Anselmo, who was performing with Down later in the day, joined his onetime bandmate Rex Brown for a blistering rendition of 'Mouth for War' for fans attending the festival.
Legendary Pantera / Damageplan / Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul has carved out a remarkable career since forming Pantera in 1981. Paul will add yet another album to his resume when Hellyeah release 'Blood for Blood' on June 10, but as evidenced in a new interview, the drummer is only feeling pressure from two sources: himself and his late brother 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott.
If I heard an audio recording of this, versus seeing it with my own eyes, I would swear it was a bootleg from the good ole days.
Let's face it. When it comes to hard rock and metal, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has dragged their feet over the years with inducting some of the big names of the genre, so with that in mind, Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul says he's not confident that the groundbreaking metal band will have their named called.
The man who laid down some of the most legendary bass lines in metal has teamed up with JamPlay to teach you the right way to play Pantera's most popular tracks as well as new stuff from Kill Devil Hill.
Phil Anselmo's Housecore Horror Film Festival is upon us! The Austin, Texas, music and horror film festival will open its doors on Oct. 24 and will not relent until Oct. 27. The fest is truly unique in its personality, and during Phil Anselmo's recent visit to our studios, the man behind the idea revealed everything we should look forward to from the fest.
For music fans looking for a good cause to get behind, the annual 'Ride for Dime' event is just around the corner scheduled for Aug. 16 and 17 in Texas. With events scheduled in both Fort Worth and Dallas, friends, fans and family members will all join forces to remember Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott with a motorcycle ride followed by two nights of great music.
Last Thursday was the Revolver Golden Gods Award show and if you missed it don't worry. We have to list of winners and few of the live performances that went down. Metallica was among those honored at the show, being given the Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award
When I think of heavy metal in the 90's the first band that comes to mind is Pantera.

If your friends are the type to slam on the brakes when you're taking a sip of water, laugh at their inability to cause your favorite beverage to fall all over yourself by adding this easily cleaning, safe, quickly removable and oh so necessary splash guard.Two options for drinking... I like one side, my wife the other. Opposites attract. No nalgene is complete without this. You'll be wondering why you never spent the few $.
I don't ever use my nalgene water bottle without one of these I absolutely love them. I have one for every bottle I own and helps a clumsy person like me to avoid spilling my drink all over myself. I would recommend Moose Jaw making a cool one with a M or moose has logo on one!
Some folks like buying the water bottles that have the straw included, but no thanks, I would rather simply buy the wide-mouthed bottle and one of these Splash Guards, I strongly suggest you do the same. Not only can you get cool designs, like a smiley face, but they make drinking water from the wide-mouthed water bottles, less risky (i.e. less chance of spilling all over yourself and looking just plain silly)!

One of the brightest lights of new American pop psychedelia, LA's Salvation Army debuted with an album that was liable to inspire young bands all around the world to join in the fun. The trio's melodies have the ethereal quality of a young Syd Barrett; the music is a blend of all the most colorful '60s sounds, showing the influence of such groups as the Byrds, Move, Hollies, Music Machine and others.
Following legal action by the real Salvation Army (concerns over musical competition?), the group changed its name to the Three O'Clock. (Three years later, Frontier cleverly repackaged the original album as Befour Three O'Clock.)
The Salvation Army:
February 1981 - October 1981
Michael Quercio - vocals, bass / Johnny Blazing - guitar / Troy Howell - drums
November 1981 - July 1982

July 1982 - August 1982

Score from 52 reviews Good
The wellness part is excellent! The hotel is near the train and bus station, but on a calm place, 3 minutes walk from the town center. The design is amazing, very friendly and wonderful. We also had the opportunity to choose between 3 different designed rooms. The breakfast was the best we ever had in any hotel, kind of those my grandma used to make! 10meters from the hotel entrance there is Amigo Restaurant, the best one in town on affordable price!
The walls are a bit thin, our room neighbours held some kind of a longer night and we could hear almost every word.
It is a modest 3* hotel
It is supposed to be 4*, boutique hotel. Small, dated room, bad facilities, dusty, spa facilities cramped. Ready for overhaul.
Funny that we can choose our room as every room is decorated differently. Underground swimmingpool is very well decorated and has sufficient depth to really swim in it. Always nice to also have free access to a jacuzzi and sauna. Breakfast was very good and pleasant to eat in the winter garden.
Beds could be a bit upgraded.
We were fortunate to find this hotel as others are on the lake & busy with families. We used all the spa offerings. Excellent breakfast Excellent restaurant next door
The main attraction is this hotel. Beach too crowded with families.
The uniqueness of the rooms. Each different, makes you knock at each door and see each room :D It has an original design. Quiet, and clean. Rich breakfast :)
The size of the room was a bit small for 2, though it's perfect for 1 person :) You might have an issue with the receptionists since not all of them speak English, German oriented, as the whole Siofok :D
Room decor is nice Nice swimming pool and jacuzzi Quite close to town and things to do Excellent continental breakfast
Rooms a bit small and old. Swimming pool underground Can hear noise from the nightclubs when you're trying to sleep (even with windows shut) shower not great
We were highly impressed by the pool area with jaccuzi, special showers and trim room. The breakfast table was excellent, just like a lunchtable
The room (nr. 8) could have been a little bigger, and we missed some shelves to put things on, especially when we put up our computer.
This hotel is advertised as a "wellnes centre". The massage lady was skilled and did a good job but the massage table destroyed the experience and the Massage Table is the worst I ever encountered! Apparently, it belongs to the hotel, not the massage people.
Location was ok.
Small room. Really badly decorated. No surfaces in room to put anything all covered in useless artifacts Coffee bad.
We stayed here for two nights as a convenient base to Lake Balaton with easy access to Tihany, The hotel is very close to the railway station so that we can walk there with small luggage. The hotel is actually quite photogenic itself with interesting country decor. The staff are friendly and it has a nice and well equipped spa which is quite private to use. A real treat after a day out!
It is a pricey hotel which is hardly 4*. The rooms are small and the furnishing, particularly the soft fittings, are already well dated. It is also noisy when trains passes and clearly not a hotel for the noise sensitives. It is 10 - 15 minutes walk from town centert and the waterfront.
Unique decor, breakfast buffet, friendly staff. Good value.
Noisy due to railroad tracts right behind the hotel. Musty smell in room.
Swimming pool Jacuzzi Bed
Room smaller than expected Wifi signal was poor in room
Amazing,beautiful hotel: rooms, spa, atrium-everything what you need to have a rest/romantic time <3. Great breakfasts till 12! :)
when I arrived staff informed that booking seems to be cancelled in the system however i haven't cancelled it ...but they were helpful and found great room immidiately
the first look on the hotel from the street when we came over was little scary. the inside however reveals beautiful place with nice staff. fantastic clean rooms, water pool, sauna and jacuzzi. for us the location was very fine, five minutes walk to the main beach and the same to town center, but most important very calm area. one must notice the restaurant nearby hotel-mustn't walk by, best food, so there is no sense eating some place else, have a nice stay
Guarded closes parking (make sure to reserve), breakfast (deserts, nespresso coffee machine). Well-designed rooms with attention to details. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pool/jacuzzi/sauna. Massage service upon request. Coffee/tea in the lobby 24/7 complimentary.
Hotel restaurant wasn't working, so to dine you would need to walk to the center, which is not so far. But nevertheless, everything was good.
Beatiful unique design of everything: rooms, coridors, lobby, reception, etc. Ability to choose the room you'd like to stay in. The staff has shown us to 2 rooms and we've chosen what we liked more. Rich breakfast. Nice desserts, always fresh vegetables, good choice of meals. Inner garden is gorgeous. Great spa and wellness facilities: sauna, swimming pool, gym, wilpool. Excellent Wi-Fi signal. Great staff. Very helpful and friendly.
Some decorations in the room were a bit dusty

J.K.Rowling wins $6750, and pound of flesh
...was the ill will of fans.
Clearly she doesn't grok how this sort of widespread fandom works: it all feeds off each other. The more different reference works are available, the more copies you ALL sell. Fans who buy that sort of thing are usually fanatic completists, and scarf up anything and everything that feeds their nitpicking-- er, I mean detail-scavenging habits. The late Compedium would have MADE her more in future cross-sales than it ever cost her... and more than she won in court.
This is a bit of a 50/50 for me. On one hand, there were things that I don't like on how Rowling handled the situation. She certainly isn't on my top ten list of 'asshat' authors, but she didn't improve her standing any.
On the other hand, this isn't a case where I have much sympathy for the other guy either. Fandom is one thing, profiting off a book that included a good amount of verbatium copying from the orginal works is another thing.
The judge made it fairly clear, had that copying been less copious, he
Also, JK Rowling claims that she doesn't fight works that she believes are "fair use", works that criticize hers or build on hers to add something of value. With all the fan fict flourishing out there, it would appear she is sincere.
Yeah, and from what I've read, I agree the guy made a mistake by too much verbatim copying. However, that could be rectified. If I were judging the case, and had the option, I think I'd have ruled that the guy had to rewrite his own book to be more "original"...
Or maybe better, leave well enough alone and make him pay a royalty from his book sales directly to Rowling. Which would have raised its price some (fan publications tend to be pricey enough, due to being pubbed on too small a scale) but still, enoug
Clearly she doesn't grok how this sort of widespread fandom works: it all feeds off each other.
She understands perfectly well how it works. These types of works helped her books and movies grow in popularity.
It's just that:
-she doesn't need them any more; and
-she's forgotten what it's like to be one of the have nots.
Did the court's decision specify how the pound of flesh would be extracted without shedding blood?
This lessened her in my eyes (Score:3, Interesting)by NewYorkCountryLawyer (912032) * <ray.beckermanlegal@com> on Tuesday September 09, 2008 @05:30PM (#24938813) Homepage JournalI think it's a disgrace. She should be ashamed of herself.
And the judge just got it wrong. Verbatim copying does not preclude a fair use, just so long as it's not a substantial part of the infringed work. In this case, they were inconsequentially small snippets for books of that size.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, the fact that the judge awarded only $6750 creates a major disincentive for defendant to appeal. It's like the judge was doing that to avoid getting reversed, which he almost surely will be if the case is appealed.
Verbatim copying does not preclude a fair use, just so long as it's not a substantial part of the infringed work
What is the "infringed work" - 50,000 pages over seven volumes? How many pages must one copy verbatim to constitute "a substantial part of the infringed work"?
As I understand it, Rowling's claim is sort of the reverse - that the Lexicon doesn't contain much original content, that the ratio of Rowling's words to RDRBooks' words indicates that little value has been added.
Do I have my facts wrong? Does she?
On one hand, I'm all for fair use, and fully support the legal right of this guy to come out with his own work based on Rowling's books.
On the other hand, and it's a big hand, as I understand it his lexicon was made up not only of his own work, but of the data on his website to which a considerable amount of fans had contributed.

Would they have been as free to contribute to the work if they knew he was going to eventually take it offline, bind it up, and sell it? Was there a chunk of legalese specifically warning submitters that they might be contributing to a commercial work for which they would see no profit? I used to run the main fansite for a popular cartoon. It contained not only my own work, but the submissions of many others who happened upon my site and wanted to help. Even the artists and writers who made the cartoon apreciated the support, and were kind enough to provide me with some exclusive stuff for my visitors. Given the community built up around the thing, I just would not have felt right taking what a couple hundred strangers had helped me produce and selling it for profit. I guess when it all comes down to it, I can support this guy's legal right to do what he did, but not his moral right.
Hey, Rob. Very thoughtful and incisive comment. I have a few questions for you:
1. Did the judge say that? (I didn't read all 68 pages, but I didn't see anything about the material not being defendant's material in the first place).
2. In the unlikely event that I were to take my blog, "Recording Industry vs. The People [blogspot.com]", and put it into a book, would you feel that I had a moral obligation to exclude the "Comments" section, which many have said is the best part of my blog?
1. I don't know, I haven't been paying close enough attention to the case. I am just aware of the type of site the fellow ran, and I think it was more of a collaborative work than just his own. I could be totally wrong on that, though; my addled memory can't place where I got that info.
2. I feel that blog comments are a different matter entirely. The role of comments on blogs is well-known; your commentors are not contributing to the main content of your blog, just bouncing their own two cents off of
...as far as I can see you're just as entitled to publish [comments on your blog] as you are to publish a letter someone sends you.
i.e. not entitled? You own the letter, they own the copyright - a bit like a CD, really?
From what I read in the judgment, the verdict was essentially "Such reference works are to be encouraged. But you screwed up by too much verbatim copying, inconsistent attribution, and went around promising book distributors that there was no pending litigation."
Once he found that the work violated copyright, the minimum penalty is $750 per infringement. With the seven Potter novels, plus the two reference books Rowling wrote as well, that made for 9x$750, or $6750 - the minimum damages possible.
on the second point ('would you feel that I had a moral obligation to exclude the "Comments" section' in a book of the blog), I'm not sure, but different contributors are likely to see the morality differently, depending on how they thought of their comments - as contributing to a community, or to your blog.
My guess is that your moral case would be weaker if you went commercial with the book without maintaining free online access - but anything you did would be wrong to someone.
As for a legal right, I g
No, he did not have a license, nor did he need one, as his use was a fair use, IMHO.
Your fair use is a lot more flexible than our "fair dealing"

H. Shoga'a Aldeen, Abdulmoa'amen (2004) Agroforestry Practices and its Relationship to Farmers' Income in Bura'a Mountain Region, Hodaidah Yemen. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Farmers in Yemen have been practicing traditional agroforestry systems for a long time. These practices provide the main source of income for the local people. The study attempted to examine the agroforestry practices in Bura'a Mountain region of Yemen. The study also examined the relatio~~sh~p between income of farmers and its determinants. The study was conducted through a survey of 130 families in 11 villages at Bura'a Mountain Repon, 118 as agroforestry farmers and 32 as nonagroforestry farmers, by using simple random sampling technique. The primary data were collected from personal interviews with the head of household using a structured questionnaire and some information were collected from published reports available at the FA0 office at Sana'a, General Directorate of Forestry and Desertification Control and Ministry of Agricultural and Irrigation (DGFDC). The study described the agroforestry practices in the area and types of agroforestry systems found are agrisilvicultural, agrosilvopastoral and apiculture. Agrisilvicultural system is common in the highland of Bura'a. The main components of the systems are the perennial crops like coffee and qat with multipurpose trees. The agrosilvopastoral system is found in the plain of Bura'a and the components are the annual crops like sorghum, maze and millet with multipurpose. The apiculture system is also found but not much commonly. About 13.5 percent of the farmers have beehives in the study area. The average income of agroforestry farmers is estimated 345,495 YR (USD 1919.4) per family per year, while the average income of non-agroforestrv farmers is estimatedl62,247 YR (USD 901.4) per family per year. The average income of AF is higher than the average income of NAF farmers. The results of regression analysis indicate that the income of farmers is si@cantly related to the land size holding, number of livestock holding and family size. The results also show that the presence of coffee as a component of the agroforestry system increases farmers' income. Educatwn is also found positively related to the income of the farm household. However, the income is not related to the age of the farmers. The farmers of the study area in need of financial support to increase their production. Some policy recommendations are also highlighted in order to improve agroforestry practices in the region.

Alec Bradley Black Market Reviews
Showing 1 through 10 of 26 reviewsAlec Bradley Black Market Robusto
"Like a Campfire in Your Mouth"Alec Bradley Black Market Punk
Nice slow burn with medium strength. Little bit of pepper and spice here and there but mostly just a campfire feel through and through. Didn't like it at first since I was in the mood for a flavor bomb but then I started to enjoy its one dimensional flavor. Goes well with single malt whiskey because of the peaty undertone...can't think of when I would smoke this except outdoor evenings.Ro in Rochester, NY September 6, 2014
"Really nice cigar"Alec Bradley Black Market Robusto
I have not bought this cigar from Famous but I am seriously considering it. I have bought it numerous times at, ahem, my local cigar shop, and I have really enjoyed it. I like the small size as it is very convenient, both because it is not as big a time commitment as a full-size cigar and also because it is easy to carry around. I am not a cigar expert by any means but I really like the smoke. I find it rich and spicy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a smaller cigar. I am wondering if the punk in the name is a name for smaller cigars in general if not, it should be or if it actually refers to punk rock? Anyone know?Duncan D. in SF, CA July 22, 2014
"Who is it blended for?"Alec Bradley Black Market Gordo
Just had my second stick from a sampler. Perfectly pleasant, smooth and full-bodied but pretty one-dimensional. Would be a great premium bundled cigar to compete with La Suelo and Trocadero at $3.50 a stick, but at this $6-$7 price point it s completely outperformed by its own kid brother, the wonderfully complex AB Nica Puro. I fail to see who will buy it in preference to the Nica Puro at a similar price point.MacBryan in Malaysia June 27, 2014
"Big cigar with a good consistant flavor."Alec Bradley Black Market Torpedo
This was a very nice cigar to have at the end of the week with a nice glass of scotch. The only down side to this smoke was I had to keep an eye on the burn so that it stayed even.Brad in Texas May 3, 2014
"Alec Bradley Black Market"Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan
After trying my first Alec Bradley Black Market, I have to say that this is a winner. Great taste from the beginning to the end. If you like a medium body Madura cigar, you can not go wrong with this flavorful cigar!Vince in Maryland March 21, 2014
"The incredible Hulk of cigars"Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan
Plenty of punches are packed in the Hooligan. well worth the investment.Cigartisan in Louisiana March 14, 2014
"Excellent smoke"Alec Bradley Black Market Gordo
Amazing, first puff to last! Draw was impeccable, candela wrapper is not what you would expect. Delicious taste. Burn was uneven but I blame myself for lighting improperly as i was snowblowing. Even in the cold weather never had to relite. I loved every bit of this cigar and that was last years model. This release is even better than the first. Well done AB. I will be looking to buy a box of these somewhere soon when in the budget!Dave in Cedar Falls March 4, 2014
"AWESOME"Alec Bradley Black Market Gordo
This was an amazing cigar. Full of flavor, and a very smooth smoke. Lots of coco taste, and second and last third introduced alot of nice pepper taste. This will likely be my first box I purchase.Tony B in Concord Ca January 29, 2014
"Did Not Enjoy"Alec Bradley Black Market Toro
I recieved the cigar in a sampler and was very excited to try it out. The cigar itself seems to be constructed well, the burn is on point, apperance is nothing special but nice. The taste is lacking A LOT. very bitter tastecigartester August 16, 2013
"A great after-dinner smoke"Next
Right out of the box, I was impressed with the build quality and consistency of the cigar. Beautiful construction, packed just well enough to allow for a near-perfect burn until the end. The flavor borders on cocoa with a slightly grassy finish, which tends not to linger for very long. The Alec Bradley Black Market is a good option for an after-dinner smoke.Ryan in Maryland June 17, 2013

As I move to the end of this iteration of Whatson, I am stalling on the final step involving Answer Type computation. In the Hot Water Tank architecture of a Question-Answer system, all the source data gets crawled and indexed internally. During indexing, Natural Language Processing (NLP) is applied to the data, tagging Person entities Location entities, and others. This tagging is key to answering user questions correctly. You see, questions get analyzed using similar NLP. An Answer Type is computed to figure out what kind of question is being asked and what kind of answer will do. Is it a Person question? A Location question? Correct answers can be obtained by matching the Answer Type to the content tagged during indexing.
The Hot Water Tank architecture is solid, but I can't help feeling it is too rigid, like Relational Database design with all its unique identifiers and keys. Relational Database design is also very effective is returning accurate results, as long as you are only asking canned questions about a known range of content. In this post, I describe an alternative "Tank-less" architecture.
Obviously, I am playing on the Tank/Tank-less options for heating water in one's home. The Tank option heats a large quantity of water in advance, waiting for you to turn the tap on. Similarly, in the Tank architecture, a massive first crawl of all external data source content is performed, followed by a massive first indexing of that content, just like filling a hot water tank. Updates to the index can be performed on just the delta, but changes to the NLP model may require complete re-indexing.
The Tank-less option heats water on demand. In the Tank-less architecture, the massive index is replaced with a lightweight Data Source Catalog, containing structured descriptions about data sources and programmatic interfaces to search the sources. When a user submits a question, the text is still analyzed using NLP and an Answer Type is still computed. What is new is an extra step in which the system uses the NLP and the Data Source Catalog to choose the appropriate sources for answers. A small amount of content is retrieved using the search interfaces in the Catalog. NLP tagging is then applied to just that small amount of content. Correct answers can be obtained by matching the Answer Type to the content just tagged.
Replacing the massive index with a lightweight catalog is an experimental approach. The catalog must contain sufficient description of the data sources to make accurate choices about where to search for answers. In addition, the description must be structured to allow for automated choices of the sources. I'm not sure yet if this will work best in the long run, but I have a good feeling about it. In my next post, I will weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both architectures. It will be no surprise that I favour the Tank-less architecture for a cognitive system.

Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
With the regular season winding down, and Miguel Cabrera closing in on baseball's first Triple Crown in 45 years, I saw Tony Oliva at Target Field and asked the Twins legend what he remembers about that magical season for Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
"Forget about '67," Oliva said, with a chuckle. "What about '66?"
"I don't want to hear about '67," Oliva said. "I put that out of my brain when we lost. We went to Boston to win one game, and we lost both."
Yes, this was Boston's Impossible Dream. One of the most famous pennant races in baseball history. Four teams slugging it out through the late summer -- Twins, Red Sox, Tigers and White Sox. The Twins entered a season-ending two-game series at Fenway Park, needing just one win, but Yastrzemski helped give Boston a sweep and the American League pennant.
Yastrzemski batted .326 with 44 home runs and 121 RBI. Harmon Killebrew also hit 44 home runs, but Yaz still gets credit for the Triple Crown.
"I think that was one of those dream years, when everything went perfect," Oliva said.
But what about '66? Baseball had a Triple Crown winner that year, too, when Baltimore's Frank Robinson batted .316 with 49 and 122 RBI.
Robinson ran away with the home run title (Killebrew was second with 39) and RBI title (Killebrew was second with 110). The biggest obstacle between Robinson and the Triple Crown was Tony O., who was a two-time reigning AL batting champ after batting .323 as a rookie in '64 and .321 in helping the Twins win the pennant in '65.
A check on Baseball-Reference.com, shows that Oliva went 4-for-4 on Sept. 11, in an 11-6 win over Robinson's Orioles at Met Stadium. Oliva was batting .320, and Robinson was at .313 with three weeks remaining.
Oliva, now 74, said he got into a fender bender and suffered whiplash sometime right around then. Though he didn't miss a game, his success waned. He finished the year batting .307 and tipped his hat to Robinson, the league's MVP.
"Cabrera reminds me of Frank Robinson because Robinson was a righthanded hitter, and if you pitched him away, he could hit it out of the ballpark to right field," Oliva said. "Cabrera is a dangerous hitter like that because you can't pitch him inside or outside."
No doubt, and looking back, you realize that facing Tony O. was no picnic for an opposing pitcher, either.

Roy Moore takes oath as Alabama chief justice
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Roy Moore promised continued loyalty to God first as he took the oath of office to become Alabama's Supreme Court chief justice.
The ceremony Friday came almost 10 years after Moore was removed from the same position for refusing to obey a federal judge's order to move a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Judicial Building. He was re-elected to the position in November.
Moore earlier was known as the Ten Commandments judge as a circuit court judge in Etowah County for keeping a copy of the commandments on his courtroom wall.
His supporters filled the Supreme Court chambers and cheered as Moore once again took the oath of office.
He promised to remember that most of what judges do in court comes from the Bible.

Rude or Reportable? I'd like others opinions... - page 3
Okay I'm going to give a situation and ask your opinion on what you think: just rude or is it reportable (to state board of nursing). I'd also like to know if you feel it is reportable what steps should be taken next. Here's... Read More
2Jun 11, '09 by SuesquatchRNUntil there is an actual situation there is nothing to report, Irish Libra. That someone might blow up is not reportable.
3Jun 11, '09 by NursieGirl199Irish, the exact same thing happened to me too.
I miss my residents and had bonded with them.
Good luck going back to work. I know you are an excellent professional and will find a better place to work. Where I use to work something like that happened and it seemed set up to me when it happened because they were doing away with agency nurses now due to the economy. They informed us nurses we had to work overtime if needed, to fill in. I heard the DON say myself that agency nurses were tooo expensive and they were done using them. Then, recently, when census fell tremendously and not replaced a few nurses - in house went as well. Yes, me being one of them. Since I have been gone 2 wks two more residents have passed. You will find something so much better and consider this a growing experience ! You will have learned from this and we move on... I sure hope we find jobs! LOL
Good luck to you Irish !Last edit by NursieGirl199 on Jun 11, '09
2Jun 11, '09 by pagandeva2000I understand your points; the issue we are discussing is that the behavior, as bad as it was, is not reportable to the BON. And, they can turn it around and say that you did not listen to direct orders. I am not saying that I agree with this behavior...it was unprofessional for sure...but hate to say, the BON would probably feel that they have bigger fish to fry. And, I would hate for you to have them tell you this...it would infuriate you even further than you are already.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Tank,,,,, thought this would be a good palce to give you my thoughts as from what I read in your posts your a developer. To me it seems like if you dident start on day one of the beta test your out of luck to level up. I started around day 4 or 5 and when I play I get greased real quick as at level 1 or 2 you do not stand a chance with a level 10 or 15. Tho it was fun for the first few go arounds, when I play now it's no fun being thrown into the meat grinder for other players to use to level up. So now I nolonger am playing and do not think I will try it again. I did pre-order the game so time will tell if I threw away 59 bucks. Thanks,, Vlad

Al Mahmud (born 11 July, 1936) is one of the best Bangla poets and writers of Bangladesh. He is considered as one of the best Bengali poets to emerge from the 1950s.[1]He was born in Brahmanbaria District. Mahmud started his career as a journalist. He was recognized as an outstanding poet after the publication of his volume of verse, Lok Lokantor, in 1963. Later books, such as Kaler Kalosh (1966), Sonali Kabin (1966), and Mayabi Porda Dule Otho (1976), established his position as one of the most prominent poets of the country.[2]In addition to writing poetry, Al Mahmud has written short stories, novels and essays, among which 'Pankourir Rakta' and Upamohadesh are considered to be the most famous ones. He is often said as having enriched Bengali Poetry by his copious use of regional dialects. After the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971, he joined the Daily Ganakantha as assistant editor. He was jailed for a year for being very critical of the then Awami League government. Later, he joined Bangladesh Shilpokala Academy and retired as its director.

I really really really wanted to buy this product and I was so looking forward to testing it at Sephora... so it was very much to my dismay to look at myself in the mirror once the SA was done putting it on.
All of my pores were magnified as if I was looking through a microscope and the blush color was a horrible shade of rusty orange.... it was so frightening that I had a mini meltdown and made her remove it immediately.
In addition to the orangeness and the humongous pores, I did not like the masky look of the product on my face and obviously did not purchase.
I began using Bare Minerals last month and I love it! My shade is "Light" and it matches perfect. I have combination skin with acne scars and blemishes, and the coverage is great. When I first began using Bare Minerals, I was a little disappointed because I wasn't able to cover my scars and blemishes. I was using the full coverage kabuki brush. I'm not sure if the brush is just too stiff, but it wasn't working for me. I switched to the flawless application brush and the concealer brush (came in the kit), and now I have full coverage. I do NOT use the bareVitamins before applying the foundation. I was told by a Sephora consultant that it has a tendency to cause breakouts. My face hasn't broke out in quite awhile, so I don't want to risk it.
OK, this product, at first, was good. I really liked it. Good coverage, without the feel of too much makeup on. I thought it was the greatest. Somehow, after a few months of using it I developed an itch right under both my eyes. Then the itch turned into dry patches, flaking, red bumps. I didn't realize it was the makeup. I stopped using all my creams, but it was still there.
After a few visits to the dermatologist I realized that I would flare up on Sundays, and I mostly wore Bare Minerals on Saturday nights. Long story short, there's an ingredient in there that's bad for your skin! I did lots of research. Googled "Bare Minerals Allergic Reaction" and found so much information! Women that were going through the same thing. I stopped using it and it was a slow healing, but it didn't flare up again. After 3 months the redness and swelling was gone. I am now in search of any other mineral makeup that does not contain Bismuth Oxychloride.
I must admit- seeing this product advertised i got more than a little excited! Suffering from mild acne and having sensitive skin, this stuff seemed too good to be true....and for me unfortunately, it was. I so wanted to like this product as everybody raves about it but no matter how i used it, it just didn't work for me. The colour matches were very good i must admit. I find it hard to find a fair foundation with a strong yellow tone, but i had no problems with Bare Minerals- the colour was spot on. Having first put it on- in the way they recommended, by 'buffing' it onto my face with the brush, i found that my acne and scars didn't get covered much at all and the powder had a very glowy, shimmery look, which enhanced my bad skin. Throughout the day my oily skin began to break through and my shimmery face just looked sweaty! Not too attractive! Needless to say after a while i got fed up and gave it away to my mother and she having much clearer and less oily skin loved it and i must admit it gave her a lovely glow. So all in all a good product for people with good skin. Unfortunately that's not me!
I tried a sample kit. All I know is I kept inhaling the stuff instead of getting it on my face. But once I figured it out, I broke out worse than I ever have in my life just from these minerals. I did not like it at all! Plus the colors are so-so, I really like shimmers and glitters (so a basic kit won't work for me) but I did seem to like the mineral veil, not sure why. Can't use it if I don't use other minerals, though.
I left a review on the Bare Minerals #2, but feel that I need to leave it here so that others looking for an honest review can find it, no matter what their skin tone is.
After using Bare Minerals products for over 4 years with no complaints, I am sad to say that I will never use it again. My flawless skin has been mysteriously breaking out for the past 5 months. At first, I thought it was an allergy or some kind of detox, but then I noticed that every time I would wear Bare Minerals, I would break out the next day. The breakouts slowly developed into cystic acne on my cheeks and chin.
I stopped using Bare Minerals last month and the acne went away, completely. Then I decided to put it on yesterday to test it again. BIG MISTAKE. I washed my face before bed as usual and I woke up this morning with the worst skin - acne on my cheeks, forehead and chin. I'm using tea tree oil, a special acid cleanser and three topical creams to get my skin back to it's original state.
Bare Minerals will destroy your skin. :(

I made my skin break out....I stopped using it and my skin is normal and I used it again to make sure that it is not causing my breakouts...but well my skin break out again....I think this is not for me
I did like Bare Escentuals very much. It did not turn oily on my face at all, and was amazingly natural looking. I didn't need to use much for sher coverage and just made my face look healthy and glowing. I do have combination skin and my T-zone is very oily. I have used mineral makeup before without much success because it turns streaky and thick on my face (most unbecoming!) but Bare Escentuals actually worked. Worth a try, but the price tag is high.
This product works, not bad at all...it's just really messy and inconvenient to use...not good enough for me to tolerate the mess.
I am lucky to have pretty clear asian american skin and well Ive only ever used tinted moisturizer and maybe powder every now and again, but as I get older my skin doesnt always look so even, so I bought the medium beige kit. I love it.I dont like the feeling of cream foundations, so I like that it is a light powder foundation that evens out my skin tone. I actually dont use the all of the powders, mainly i use the warmth which I love love love and the mineral veil as a finish. I dont really care for the skin prep I feel like it stings and is maybe to harsh for my face. I will definately repurchase the warmth and mineral veil.

Oklahoma Republicans went Saturday with the contender who has a proven track record of raising money for the state party and being involved with successful campaigns over one who is better known for opposing illegal immigration, the Affordable Care Act and the United Nations Agenda 21 sustainable development action plan.
Oklahoma Republicans elect new leaders
About 61.3 percent of the votes cast for chairman by the 1,222 delegates attending the Oklahoma Republican State Convention went to Dave Weston, who works for an investment advisory firm. Amanda Teegarden, co-founder and executive director of the nonprofit Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise, Inc, won 38.7 percent of the votes cast.
Weston, of Lexington, will succeed Matt Pinnell, who has served the past three years as chairman.
Pinnell, of Tulsa, was named earlier this month to be state party director of the Republican National Committee. In the new position, he will be the chief liaison between state party organizations and the national party.
Saturday's convention, at the Magnuson Hotel and Meridian Convention Center, 737 S Meridian Ave., was much smoother than last year's meeting, where fights broke out over rules and a physical altercation occurred between opposing delegates. Upset that state party leaders used rules unfairly to block their slate of delegates, backers of GOP presidential contender Ron Paul gathered outside in the parking lot after last year's convention. They elected their delegates and fought unsuccessfully all the way to the national convention to get them seated.
Teegarden, of Tulsa, received applause and cheers from the crowd when she said she was disappointed state lawmakers this year didn't hear all bills that were filed, especially measures opposing Agenda 21 and attempting to nullify the Affordable Care Act, which was backed by President Barack Obama and is called Obamacare by opponents.
"There's been a disconnect," Teegarden said. "The bills from the people are not being heard."
Weston said he would work to unify the state Republican Party, which has posted steady gains in voter registration numbers during the past 50 years. But several factions have developed in the state party over the past couple of years, which has caused some rifts to develop.
"We've got to pull people together," Weston said. "We've got to begin to move forward because our adversary is not each other — it's Barack Obama."

Cook's notes: Green (unripe) papayas and rau ram are sold at Asian markets in the fresh produce section. Hothouse cucumbers are sold in most supermarkets; often they are encased in plastic wrap. Phan prepares fried shallots from scratch. You can buy them prepared at Asian markets.
1. In an 8-inch frying pan, heat canola oil over high heat to 350 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. Carefully add tofu slices and fry, turning once, for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tofu to paper towels to drain. When cool, cut into strips 1/4-inch wide.
2. In large bowl, combine papaya, rau ram, cucumber, celery, carrot and tofu strips. Pour the flavored fish sauce and 2 tablespoons canola oil over top and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with peanuts and fried shallots. Serve immediately.
