Have a rowdy bunch of kids? Why not tase them a little bit to teach 'em a lesson?
The Toy Tazer is perfect because for one, they're dirt cheap at only $US3.40 and for two, it's not that harmful at only 3.6V per shot (versus 50,000 in police tasers). Let your kid know what it feels like before he really gets tased, you know? It's only good parenting. [Red Ferret via UberGizmo]

GNU Role Playing Game Engine
Welcome to the website for rpge, a GNU package providing an engine for 2D role playing games. On this page, you can find some generic information (currently being written) about the project. For code, information about the project's members, bug trackers and other conventional support mechanisms, please check out our savannah project page.
rpge is an engine for two-dimensional graphical role-playing games, supporting, at the time of writing, the following features:
- A two-dimensional tile grid
- Sprite rendering
- Movable objects (mobs)
- Limiting the times an image is loaded to 1 for faster runtime
- "Windows" (rectangular areas filled with a certain sprite)
- Event passing
For the uninitiated, this is pretty much akin to saying "Nothing at all, yet". However, rpge is in somewhat active development and the idea is to support most styles of role-playing games, giving the users of the engine as much freedom as possible to extend, change and control the way their games work.
Below is a rough sketch of what should be done around the time of certain releases. We do not guarantee its accuracy or even its remote likeness to what releases will be like. Generally, whichever release is up next will have a relatively accurate roadmap, everything else will be mere conjecture.
The focus of this version should be the GUILE API and fleshing it out. Also, the example game in test.scm should be expanded to a somewhat complete game. This game does not really need a story, but it should be playable and be a real 'game', not just a tech demo.
Downloading RPGE
RPGE can be found on the main GNU ftp server: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/rpge/ (via HTTP) and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/rpge/ (via FTP). It can also be found on the GNU mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.

Research perspective
I am a primatologist and evolutionary anthropologist interested in understanding ways in which great ape behavior and distribution is shaped by interactions with their environment. I am especially interested in how great apes compensate behaviorally, energetically, and physiologically against various ecological and social constraints. I find especially interesting how these tradeoffs affect spatial movement and distribution patterns, as well as how the investigation of related research questions can be applied to active conservation of chimpanzees and other wildlife. In general, the questions that interest me most are integrative in nature and are an amalgamation of conservation, evolution, socioecology, and behavioral ecological science.
Current research
My PhD research focuses on the northwestern reaches of the Pan troglodytes verus subspecies' range as it relates to ecological, physiological, and energetic stresses. My specific aims are to understand the nature of this range margin by identifying patterns of physiological responses to environmental stressors of chimpanzees who inhabit the margins of the range using endocrinological and stable isotope data. My project is centered around the Fongoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project in Fongoli, Senegal, and compares to similar data collected at several additional sites within Senegal as well as data from chimpanzees of the Taï Chimpanzee Project in Tai, Côte d'Ivoire. I returned from 17 total months of field work (2012-2014), and am currently wrapping up sample analyses.
- This project would not be possible without the help and collaboration of many individuals. Drs. Hjalmar Kühl and Christophe Boesch have provided academic and financial support from the beginning of the project.
- Dr. Tobias Deschner of the MPI Endocrinology Lab has been invaluable as a collaborator regarding endocrinological data, and Drs. Viktoria Oelze and Michael Richards have been valuable collaborators regarding stable isotope data.
- Dr. Jill D. Pruetz, Director of the Fongoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project is likewise imperative in welcoming me to her field site for the duration of this project.
Funding for this project has been provided by the Max Planck Society.

Oscar Pistorius' Twitter feed speaks volumes after murder arrest
More than 230,000 Twitter followers have been given a glimpse into a life of fast cars and luxury holidays as the hero was feted by an adoring public. The "Blade Runner" has reveled in the fame that came from becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at both the Olympics and Paralympics.
Among dozens of tweets in recent weeks, there are only a scattering of references to the girlfriend he is now accused of killing earlier Thursday.
Quoting a tweet from Reeva Steenkamp on Dec. 6 - "Wondering what my stalker is up to? Kinda miss him lurking around 2nyt" - Pistorius replies: "Heard he is taking a water break with the boys!;)"
Steenkamp gushed over Pistorius on Twitter, seeming to relish going out with one of South Africa's biggest stars.
By contrast, there was little outpouring of affection from Pistorius, although there was no indication their relationship had soured or that his mindset had darkened.
The only reference to guns was a Twitter image of him on Nov. 28, 2011, firing off rounds at a shooting range, and a boast: "Had a 96% headshot over 300m from 50shots! Bam!")
Steenkamp was shot four times at Pistorius' home in Pretoria early on Thursday.
With his arrest and charge, Pistorius went from podium to police cell.
At the Olympics in August, Pistorius reached the finals of the 4x400 relay and semifinal in the 400 sprint, with his carbon fiber blades clattering into the history books on the London track.
But the script didn't go to plan when the Paralympics started later in the month.
The 100 and 200 titles were lost in a blaze of fury as he became embroiled in a public row with the rival he accused of unfairly using lengthened blades to win the 200.
Only in the final event, the 400, did Pistorius finally collect an individual gold.
While his carefully honed public image - as the poster boy for Paralympic sport - was a little tarnished by his outbursts, Pistorius has spent the time since then, on Twitter in particular, displaying the softer side that enthralled sports fans and the general public alike.
"Don't sweat the small things and chase your aspirations," he tweeted on Jan. 29, while posting an image of a quote from Walt Disney: "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
At the start of December he retweeted a series of motivational messages.
"Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those cards you hold well."
And from Oscar Wilde: "A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally."
Displaying his religious side, Pistorius peppered his timeline with references to his faith, including: "God is good all the time, all the time God is good!"
As he prepared to see in 2013, Pistorius wrote: "Had a blessed day today. Grateful for the type of people I have in my life."
But his Twitter timeline more regularly featured self-portraits sunning himself or posing among the great and the good at conferences or glitzy events.
In his last personal tweet on Feb. 11, Pistorius was looking forward to the launch of his foundation in July to help 10 disabled children.
It was a reminder of how Pistorius had overcome difficulties since having both legs amputated below the knee in the first year of his life.

20" #4 Medium Brown 9pcs Straight Full Head Set Clip In Human Hair Extension [LCHS0062]
|Use your index fingers to make the parting. These partings are referred to (in professional terms) as tracks.
|Always follow the contour of your head.Move your fingers from the front towards the back until they meet in the center of your head. The result is a "U" shaped part..
|If you have long hair, you'll need to get it out of the way so it won't get caught in the clips. Clean, neat parts make a difference. First, it's uncomfortable if you catch loose hairs in the clips. We call these cross-hairs. Second, this isn't safe. That's because it's these cross-hairs that will be pulled out of your head whenever there is any "stress" on these hairs. By stress I mean any pulling on the hair which can happen, as an example, when you lean against the back of your car seat.
|Pop (snap) open the clips on the weft. On the wefts used on the back of your head, the Back Pieces have 3 clips. One at each end and one in the middle
|It's very important that you place the clips on the hair below the part. This is the natural way your hair grows. We have a saying I'd like you to remember. You can fool Mother Nature but never go against her! For the wefts in the back, start with the middle clip. Capture hair (under the part) and snap shut..
|After doing the middle clip, you can then attach the two end clips. There you are - more hair in just a snap!
1.Cleaning the Human Hair.
Just like your own hair, human hair will accumulate residue through normal wear. However, you do not need to wash the hair everyday to keep consistent results. The hair should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the hair appears dull or acquires an odor. If you are wearing the hair all day, every day, you can wash them after 3-4 wearings.
Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles. If hair is excessively tangled, a spray on conditioner should be used.
Always use a mild shampoo or one specifically formulated for chemically treated hair.
Run the hair under warm water and after placing a small amount of shampoo on your fingers, gently work the shampoo into the hair, stroking downwards from the weft base to the ends. Do not twist, scrub or rub the hair. Use the shampoo sparingly.
When clean, rinse thoroughly under warm running water until the water runs clear. Be sure to rinse until all shampoo is removed, as improper rinsing could result in damage.
Just like your own hair, human hair extensions need to be conditioned after shampooing to maintain a healthy shine and promote styling ease.
Place a small amount of conditioner in your hand. Gently work into the hair and let sit for three to five minutes.
Rinse thoroughly in warm water.
Gently towel blot to remove excess water.
2.Styling the Hair.
Steam rollers and/or wet setting are the safest way to curl your human hair.
Blow dryers, curling irons and other thermal tools may be used on low settings. Remember, the hair may scorch if the setting is too high.
If you choose to use electric rollers, always make sure that the ends are wrapped into the rollers to avoid "fishhooks".
For cutting, or any chemical processes such as perming or coloring, take the extensions to a professional stylist.
3.Storing the Hair.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.
To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.
Do not sleep or swim while wearing the human hair.
How to Return
Only eligible hair extensions can be returned. Please contact us first about the problem you met, we will try our best to solve your problem. If your problem can't be solved without return, we will be happy to accept it and add your name in our return system. You can then send the item back to the address on the original shipment.

Ill. Atheist Sues Over 111-Foot Cross's $20K Grant
An atheist activist in Illinois has filed a federal lawsuit to force a non-profit group into surrendering the $20,000 state grant it received to repair and restore a giant 111-foot cross.
The lawsuit, filed by 57-year-old Rob Sherman in the Federal District Court for the Central District of Illinois in Springfield, lists as the defendants the 501(c)(3) Friends of the Cross, the State of Illinois, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), Gov. Pat Quinn and DCEO Director Warren Ribley.
Sherman, who runs a social advocacy organization called Rob Sherman Advocacy, says Quinn and Ribley had nothing to do with the 2008 contract between Friends of the Cross and DCEO, but were named as defendants because they were asked this year to rescind the grant but declined to do so.
"There has never been any question, outside of southern Illinois, that this State Grant is blatantly unconstitutional," stated Sherman in his announcement of the lawsuit Thursday.
"The only questions have been whether I could get the Christians to voluntarily obey the law by returning the money, or if I would have to drag the Christians into court to get them to obey the law," he added.
Back in 2008, the Friends of the Cross received a $20,000 state grant from DCEO that its current president, Jeff Lingle, said was applied for to support tourism.
Lingle told a local ABC news affiliate that the the Bald Knob Cross "is what it is" but also insisted that there's a "significant tourism aspect to it."
While Sherman agrees that the cross is a tourist attraction, the Buffalo Grove resident says the grant still violates the separation of church and state because the cross promotes Christianity.
"The job of atheists is to take clergy to court to challenge the epidemic of civil wrongs that they have perpetrated, on the sneak, against the People of Illinois, such as stealing massive quantities of taxpayer dollars to operate or maintain their houses of worship, parochial schools and religious ministries," Sherman commented Thursday. "It's a big job, but somebody's gotta (sic) do it."
Completed in 1963 after 15 years of fundraising and thousands of donations, the Bald Knob Cross stands prominently more than 1,000 feet above sea level in the Illinois Ozark Mountains of Southern Illinois and – when lit up – can reportedly be seen for 7,500 square miles.
Due to years of moisture and natural wear, panel after panel has fallen off the cross, leaving behind holes throughout the cross. With the goal to repair and restore the cross, the Friends of the Cross was formed and sought to raise $300,000 over a period of three years.
To reach its goal, the non-profit has hosted fundraisers, launched giving campaigns, and teamed up with a construction company in Carbondale, Ill., which offered to match donations from businesses of $500 or more.
The group claims to comprise over 330 households of people "who have different professions, different beliefs, and different motives for being involved."
"[W]e have one thing in common," they add. "We want to raise enough money to restore Bald Knob Cross to its beautiful majesty."
On Wednesday, one day before Sherman's lawsuit was filed, Friend of the Cross announced that it had exceeded its fundraising goal of $300,000 by over $100,000.
Next week, new exterior panels are scheduled to go up on the cross, which is located about 100 miles southeast of Springfield.
Approximately $150,000 was spent in demolition of the original panels and the repair of the superstructure itself, which was completed last fall.

The sixth day of the 2014 PKRA Junior World's provided no more wind than the day prior, forcing riders to conjure up alternative ways to spend the day. This seems to be one trick that the young crew of competitors has locked down.
Following a morning workshop on the topics of coaching, training and nutrition featuring pro-rider Patrick Blanc, the riders settled in at the beach with their gear ready. As the juniors remained on wind-hold throughout the afternoon, many enjoyed the increasing swell by surfing and stand-up paddleboarding. At times, there was quite a large soccer match with riders, staff and even parents in the mix.
With a light, but steady onshore breeze, several riders pulled out the biggest kites that they could find for some rides back and forth on surf boards and SUPs, and foil boards. At 5:00pm, the wind bumped up a couple knots and the riders managed to get some upwind tacks on their twin-tips.
Soon after, the announcement was made and the red flag went up, signaling the start of the heat sequence. After a few minutes of heat #27, the wind backed off and the heat was abandoned. Later, one more attempt to run a heat was made, but that too was abandoned. Riders were then released as it was clear that the wind was not going to improve.
Tomorrow is the final day of the event, and with only two hours worth of competition left to finish the doubles, hopes are high for the afternoon thermal breeze to determine the champions in the remaining age groups 12-14 and 14-16. Riders will meet at 10am for the last workshop on the topics of judging methods and criteria, hosted by head judge Sami Gali and members of the PKRA judging staff.
Special thanks to our industry partners that contributed support for this event: Airush, Best, Fone, North, Ozone and Slingshot.

Deity in the Biblical Communities and among their Neighbors
John H. Hayes
The Apostle Paul, offering instructions to the Corinthians on the subject of eating consecrated meat derived from pagan sacrifices, quoted those to whom he writes: "'A false god has no real existence, and there is no god but one.' " Paul responded, agreeing with their basic premise: "Even though there be so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—and indeed there are many such gods and many such lords—yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for him" (1 Cor. 8.4–6 ).
This text epitomizes the basic difference between biblical theology and practically all other theologies of the biblical world, namely, a monotheistic versus a polytheistic understanding of the divine. Simultaneously, the text alludes to the issue of the relationship between the biblical understanding of deity and those of the surrounding nations and communities.

Over the next while I'll be working alongside someone who would benefit from some instant proofs. Happily she is comfortable with the reversed image on the ground glass -- although a binocular hood has just arrived to make things easier -- but given the delays associated with overseas processing it would be best if she could have something to take away until the transparencies arrive back. The project is architectural, generally exteriors, mostly high contrast, and we'll be using Astia.
I'm wondering if anyone can comment on the qualities of Fuji FP-100C45 -- saturation, range, tonality and the like -- and how it might compare with Astia. I'm aware that there has been some discussion of the possible disappearance of this film[*] but I believe it would be well worth obtaining, together with a holder, for this project alone. It also seems that Badger still holds both, although how much I'm yet to confirm:
Fuji FP-100C45 Professional Color Instant 4X5 Film
Fuji Instant Film 4X5 Pack Holder PA-45
I'd also be curious to know how people are currently approaching the issue of proofing with clients -- and if possible I'd like to hear from people who are *still* using film on commissions. (I know that this *is* still happening, especially with clients that are planning long term, are concentrating just on the quality of the imaging, and who don't care how one's images are made.)
Kind regards,
[*] And please say if you have definite evidence that FP-100C45 *will* be discontinued -- I'm hoping that no evidence can be provided but will have to grudgingly accept it if it is

Apple rolled out the much-anticipated iOS 5 upgrade on Wednesday, bringing a bevy of helpful new features for music fans. However, the upgrade process is not going smoothly for everyone.
Here's what happened the first two times I tried to update my iPhone 4 to Apple's new iOS 5 operating system on Wednesday:
The same thing is happening to at least five of my friends. Others report that they installed the update in minutes with no problem. At this point, there's no way to know how widespread the problem is, although there certainly is one. (Please let me know if it's happening to you.)
After the second fail, I followed each of Apple's recommendations:
1. Yes, I have the latest version of iTunes (10.5).
2. I updated a bunch of unrelated programs including iPhoto and Safari, on Apple's recommendation, and restarted my computer as required.
3. I disconnected other USB devices. (During the first fail, I had an iPad plugged in.)
4. I don't have any weird security settings, although my router was not made by Apple.
5. I restarted my computer (again).
Once again, the "Backing up 'iPhone'" progress meter made scant progress, even after over twenty minutes:
Lo and behold, we encountered a third fail, even after exhausting Apple's list of suggestions:
At least this time Apple gives us an error number, which yields the following suggestion:
If the steps listed in Error 3000-3999 do not resolve the issue, and you are using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command at the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache
Command line? I do remember encountering a similar cache flushing issue with a blogging tool at one point, but this is clearly not the "ready for primetime" experience we expect from Apple — and it's even more frightening that the problem only seems to affect Macs.
We're going to try that suggestion, and will keep updating this story as things progress. Even if it works, Apple's iOS 5 upgrade process appears to be a pretty serious fail in some cases — one we have corroborated with multiple other iPhone users.
For now, my iPhone is bricked:
And my only option is to restore the iPhone to factory settings, losing all contacts. I have no choice but to trust that Apple will later be able to give me my contacts back… and right now, I don't have a lot of trust in the process:
I bit the bullet and allowed Apple, which doesn't have a lot of my trust right now, to delete everything on my phone. Then iTunes told me that Apple's servers are down. This is bad.
Apple's servers came back up, but error 3004 strikes again:
I tried the command line trick that Apple recommends for error 3004 for a second time:
My iPhone is still bricked. I'll let the following screenshots speak for themselves.
Caveat emptor.
Update: My iPhone became bricked — as in it couldn't boot up, and iTunes couldn't recognize it. If that happens to you too, follow the below directions from Apple, then keep trying to Restore your iPhone until you can then install iOS 5. I just tried it and while iTunes failed (for the umpteenth time) to restore my iPhone, at least it lets iTunes recognize your iPhone, which is a start. Here's how to make iTunes recognize your iPhone again, so that you at least have a fighting chance of unbricking your iPhone (thanks for the suggestion, Josh Newman):
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off.
▪ If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB cable to iPhone, the device should power on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
However, be forewarned — just because iTunes can recognize your iPhone is no guarantee that Apple's servers will be up to the task of upgrading your iPhone. Even after following these instructions, I ended up here once again:
Update 7:30pm ET: Apple's iOS 5 servers are still down or too busy to serve the update. My iPhone remains in limbo:
7:54pm ET: Restore is finally in progress. I started this process about six hours ago:
8:11pm ET: It's alive. Sort of.
8:14pm ET: It's restoring my apps. I had over 250:
8:31pm ET: The iPhone is usable again, and iCloud is installing (there wasn't enough storage in the free 5GB iCloud to back up my 32GB iPhone 4 for free, but that's a different story):
9:08pm ET: Apps almost restored (it finished shortly thereafter):
Now for the iPad.
10:40pm ET:
11:56pm ET:
8:34am ET: The iPad update seems to be going a lot smoother this morning. The install didn't happen last night, but the iOS 5 installer for iPad downloaded in about ten minutes this morning. It's restoring the apps:
Our iPad upgrade failed too, although not as badly: See part two of this 22-hour saga.

Jan Vijg, Ph.D.The expert panel was convened by the LifeStar Institute, a nonprofit organization that educates the public about the consequences of global aging and supports medical research aimed at preventing and curing age-related diseases. Their report was published in the July 14 issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The aging process results in significant social and medical costs that will rise rapidly in the coming decades as the number of elderly people increases. To prevent what it calls "a global aging crisis," the panel recommends that the U.S. and other countries collaborate in an international initiative that will translate laboratory findings about aging into new kinds of medicines.
More specifically, the panel urged countries to use their public health agencies to inform citizens about how they can improve their lifestyles so that they can live longer and healthier lives. In addition, the panel wrote, there is a need to develop regenerative therapies that could restore youthful structure and function in older people by repairing and neutralizing the cellular damage that occurs with aging.
"There is this misunderstanding that aging is something that just happens to you, like the weather, and cannot be influenced," said Dr. Vijg. "The big surprise of the last decades is that, in many different animals, we can increase healthy life span in various ways. A program of developing and testing similar interventions in humans would make both medical and economic sense."

maruti-suzuki baleno Feature
maruti-suzuki baleno Expert Review
Baleno is back, but only with the name, other than that it's an all new car from India's leading passenger carmaker, Maruti Suzuki. Baleno, as we know a decade back was a sedan that failed to live up to the names of other Maruti cars. Though the Baleno sedan was favourite among the enthusiasts and can still be seen on rally tracks, it failed to attract conventional buyers. Learning from its past, the company this time launched the Baleno in the growing premium hatchback segment to compete with the likes of Hyundai i20 and Honda Jazz. The hatchback is available in both the fuel trims across four variant options-Sigma, Delta, Zeta, Alpha. Mynewcar's recommended variant is Zeta. The color option for this premium hatchback are Fire Red, Premium Silver, Autumn Red, Premium Urban Blue, Pearl Arctic White and Granite Grey. Let's find out what makes this new hatchback so special among its competitors.

Troy Murphy has found female bill colour reflects the health of the bird. Females with more colourful bills have higher antibody levels, indicating greater strength and the ability to fight off invaders.
"This is so exciting because it means a bird facing a rival with a colourful bill will be able to assess the rival's health and thus assess whether the rival will have lots of energy to invest in a fight," says Dr. Murphy, who conducted his research at the Queen's University Biological Station. "This information can then influence the decision to fight or flee - and, if to flee, how fast it should flee."
The colour of a female bird's bill is strongly correlated with immunoglobulin antibodies, a component of the immune system in birds. Upon infection, these antibodies allow other immune cells to recognize the diseased cells and destroy them.
Dr. Murphy, who is currently an assistant professor (Biology) at Trinity University in Texas, also discovered there is no relation between immune capacity and male bill colour suggesting elaborately coloured bills have very sex-specific roles.
"Murphy's recent results add to a long tradition of bird behavioural ecology research at our biological station" says Station Director Stephen Lougheed. "Results like Dr. Murphy's clarify our understanding of how behaviour, colour and song are used in critical interactions among individuals, especially contests between members of the same sex and courtship between members of opposite sex."
The results of this research will be published in an upcoming issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.

Commons:License laundering
All works on Wikimedia Commons are required to be released under a free license by their copyright holder. Unless the uploader is the copyright holder, we require proof that the copyright holder released the work under the license. This is typically done either by submitting permission via e-mail, or by posting a public statement on the copyright holder's website.
Sometimes, users will upload an image from a website that claims to release it under a free license, but in fact that website is itself using the image without permission (and often without any attribution!). This is called license laundering. This is particularly common with photo sharing websites such as Flickr or Picasa Web Albums that allow their users to specify a free license for their images. Such uploads may evade detection as copyright violations, since the source website appears to provide "evidence" for the license.
If license laundering is suspected, even if the source user is claiming to be the copyright owner, the file should be nominated for deletion.
Because historically this has happened most frequently with Flickr, the term Flickr washing to refer to license laundering via Flickr is also commonly encountered.
Detecting license laundering[edit]
There are several ways to detect license laundering. One of the simplest is to search for the image—using keywords from its title/description or using an image search such as TinEye or Google Search by Image—and see if an official source website can be found. Usually laundered files are available elsewhere on the web, although they may also be scanned from paper sources.
Another simple technique is to look at the other photos included in the same page or set at the source website. Look at EXIF metadata if it is available. Were the images taken at about the same time, using the same camera, in the same location? Do they have about the same resolution and exhibit the same artistic style or level of quality? Or are they all dramatically different? A hodgepodge of images points to reproduction of others' images without permission, while similar images suggest legitimacy.
Examine the source website to determine who uploaded the images. On sites like Flickr, this information may be available through the user's profile information. Such information can give hints to the identity and profession of the uploader. If the file is high quality, the uploader should be identifiable as a professional or skilled hobbyist. If the file depicts models or celebrities, the uploader should be someone who works with celebrities.
Finally, it is often useful to contact the source website (e.g., message the Flickr user) and politely ask where they obtained the image in question. Often the person who borrowed the image will be happy to disclose that they are not in fact the copyright holder, and merely copied the image from elsewhere.

I think she's trapped in time. Maybe she is in the 154. year. In this photo we can't see any dinosaurs but I think she found a few at the moment. Her hat isn't a shower cap, I think. Maybe it's a special model of "Time Travel" cap- so you can travel through time, any time you want, in any place. She doesn't know how to get back in 2017. And perhaps she's in her sixties. She looks old.
A question:
How can I spell the plural of "a jam"? I think it's "jams", but I'm not sure. Can you please tell me how can I spell this word?
Thank you

Luxury Mansion Homes in Benmore
Everybody dreams to buy a luxury house. The fact is, only a few can afford it. Even if you have the money to buy, sometimes, getting a good location becomes a problem. Of course, you can take help of estate agents to take that entire headache, but that does not free you from the responsibility to find an ideal place for family. So, how do detect a good property in Hoboken?
Hoboken is a small city in the Hudson County, New Jersey. It is an island surrounded by the Hudson River on the East and the tidal lands on the West. The city also has a close proximity to New York and the Jersey City. People looking for an easy commute to these places for work can easily do so. Luxury apartments in Hoboken, NJ can be a perfect match for your dream house. But, before looking out for the option remember to take care of these things.
- Location is the most important aspect of buying a house. If you can find a place that is closely located to parks, fitness centres, shopping areas, hospitals, school and other options of childcare and recreation, secure the deal.
2. Price is a major determinant when it comes to buying a house. There are many hidden factors that determine the price of any new construction in Hoboken. Ask you estate agent to find a good deal within your budget. Do not settle for low quality construction because of price even if it means exceeding your budget limit.
3. If you are buying a house for your own use and not for rental purpose then, you should be much more careful in making your choice. Hire a registered estate agent only. If you are not taking any help from an estate agent, then be sure to check the certifications or authorisations of the builder before signing any contract. If your builder has good reputation in the market, then you can find about them more from the online sources.
Never hesitate to clear all your doubts before making payment. There is no point in discussion after you have signed the contract. Take time, think over again and research thoroughly about the builder, location and other details. You should always keep in mind the safety and comfort of your family before buying a house.
How about Finding Houses for Sale
After months of anticipation, the Dunalastair Hotel Suites in Loch Rannoch has finally announced plans for their grand reopening.
Nestled snugly against the banks of Scotland's River Tummel sits a quiet, unassuming village known as Kinloch Rannoch. Resplendent in its own air of tranquility, and surrounded at all sides by truly enchanting views of the remote Scottish Highlands, the area has long been favoured as a destination for those seeking serenity, relaxation, and a certain sense of calm.
Yet over the past few months, there's been a disturbance in this usually peaceful village, a hive of activity as a veritable army of designers, decorators and tradesmen headed en masse to the Dunalastair Hotel Suites in the heart of Kinloch Rannoch..
Not that any of the local residents seemed to mind this sudden breach of the peace. For them, the arrival of the workmen actually signalled good news.
Multi-Million Pound Refurbishment
After all, that small army of professionals were not heading there for a conference, nor even for a much needed Scottish getaway and the chance to trade paintbrushes and screwdrivers for hiking boots, golf clubs, and fishing rods. Rather, they were there to carry out work on a multi-million pound refurbishment project, transforming the historic venue into the ultimate luxury Scottish Hotel.
As part of the remodelling work, the Dunalastair's trademark Victorian features -a staple of the hotel's architecture since it was first built- have been lovingly restored, blending in seamlessly with a new, contemporary design and state-of-the-art modern amenities.
The boutique hotel suites have been lovingly decorated in gentle, relaxing tones to match the tranquil ambiance which surrounds Loch Rannoch. A cutting edge eConcierge system has been put in place to offer an added level of convenience to hotel guests, and the whole venue has been upgraded to create a luxury Scottish hotel which caters to the needs of modern guests, all whilst retaining that timeless style that makes the Dunalastair unique.
Dunalastair Hotel Suites — Romantic Scottish Hotel Reopening May 2017
That refurbishment, according to the team behind the new-look Dunalastair Hotel Suites, has finally been completed, meaning the team can now start looking ahead to their grand reopening on May 1st, 2017.
At time of writing, the Dunalastair team were putting the final finishing touches to their boutique accommodation, channelling all their efforts into establishing their hotel as a top choice for romantic Scottish getaways.
Soft, inviting beds adorned in the finest Egyptian cotton, hotel suites arranged to take advantage of the breathtaking Highland views, room service provided by their own in-house cafe/restaurant, no expense has been spared when it comes to achieving the Dunalastair Hotel Suites' goal of making their boutique accommodation a must visit for couples who want nothing more than to escape for a few days of quality alone time.
A Multi-Purpose Luxury Hotel for All Scottish Holidays
Whilst they may be going all out to offer an idyllic haven for anyone looking to escape to the highlands for a few days, the Dunalastair Hotel Suites are eager to note that they offer much more than romantic Scottish breaks.
Taking advantage of their prime location in the heart of Perthshire, with its abundance of walking and cycling trails, golf courses, climbing centres, and fishing spots, the Loch Rannoch hotel are also pitching themselves as an ideal place to stay for those booking Scotland activity breaks and family holidays.
Several of their boutique suites have been re-designed especially to accommodate families and groups, a bicycle hire service has been established, and the brand's eConcierge directory has been updated with details on a plethora of activities taking place throughout the Perthshire Highlands.
Now Available for Bookings
At time of writing, the last of the designers, decorators and tradesmen were making their way out of Loch Rannoch, casting one last long, proud look over the refurbished hotel that has been such a big part of their life for the better part of the past twelve months. Peace, serenity, and tranquility has returned to Loch Rannoch, and will remain so, even when lovestruck couples and adventurous families alike descend on the reopened Dunalastair Hotel Suites come May 1st.
For now though, the hotel team are focussed on adding those all important finishing touches, and relaunching their website, where couples, families, groups and solo travellers can now reserve their luxury boutique accommodation in time for 2017.

The Manchester United manager criticised assistant referee Simon Beck following his side's draw at Tottenham a fortnight ago. The Football Association will decide a date for the hearing in due course.
The FA said in a statement on Friday evening: "Sir Alex Ferguson has denied an FA charge of misconduct in relation to post-match media comments made following Manchester United's game at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 20 January 2013."
The statement continued: "It is alleged the Manchester United manager breached FA Rule E3 in that he implied that the match official was motivated by bias. Ferguson has requested a paper hearing, the date of which will be set in due course."
Speaking after the Tottenham game, Ferguson expressed his anger at United not being given a penalty for a foul on Wayne Rooney. "It was a clear decision. And he [Beck] was 10, maybe 12 yards away from the incident and he doesn't give it. And yet he gave everything else."
Ferguson claimed United had "history" with Beck following the official's failure to rule out a Didier Drogba goal for offside at Old Trafford in 2010, in a match that proved pivotal in that season's title race. "There was no way we were going to get a decision from [Beck]," Ferguson said.
Clearly the United manager's argument is that he should be allowed to criticise Beck, which is why he is taking the matter further even though the likely punishment if the case is proved is only likely to be a fine.
Ferguson did not discuss the issue on Friday, although last week he said he suspected the matter has become personal.
"That is what I have put in my letter exactly. But you never know the FA," he said. "We are high profile and the profile of me is such that the FA naturally panic as soon as the press criticise them.
"I think that is what you will find. That is why they have sent me a letter. Whether I think it is unfair or not doesn't matter to them really at this point. I just think it is more about me than what I have said."

Church polity in a changing South Africa: a study of two Reformed churches
Piet Strauss
Department of Ecclesiology, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa
For both the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) and the Reformed Churches in South Africa (RCSA) the biggest changes in a changing South Africa have been not so much internally as within the South African society. Officially these changes really started after the first general elections in 1994. In this process a new constitution was adopted and finalised in 1996, a non-racial, non-sexist constitution based on human rights as seen from a "religiously neutral" and humanistic point of view. These changes had a visible effect on the DRC, but less so on the RCSA.
The ongoing vitality of a Reformed church polity is accepted by most Reformed scholars and churches. This vitality is often argued for along the following lines:
• A true Reformed church polity is aimed at a meaningful and ongoing changing of church orders and church government (Smit 1984:90). The word "Reformed" does not imply stagnation or use of the same practical measures over and over again. An important insight in Reformed circles is that a true Reformed church polity serves and by doing so helps churches to be churches governed by the Word of God. A true Reformed church polity is by no means an end in itself, but serves to keep Christ and the Word at the head of the church. Some scholars even call it a serving justice (Plomp 1992:38-40). The origin of this viewpoint - probably - lies in Lutheran circles (Barth 1967:679vv; Wolf 1961:8, 24, 73vv). The argument goes on to state that a church polity and order are not meant to provide laws that should be followed strictly or go into the small details of church life. It should rather provide orderly channels through which the Word can flow freely to determine the ordering of church affairs. This by implication means that a Reformed church polity is adaptable to new circumstances and keeps its identity as a polity serving the Word in the process (Strauss 2010:1vv).
• This point of departure implies that a church order provides practical measures or channels to help the church but also stems from constant points of departure that can take on different shapes and forms at different times (Strauss 2010:20). Simplified examples in this regard concern matters of dress code at official church meetings, changes in the tasks of church offices and the tasks allocated to different church assemblies in church (cf the tasks of the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church in DRC 1986:11 and DRC 2004:18-19). How the guiding principle operates can be seen in the existing order of the Dutch Reformed Church.
The changing Umwelt or circumstances of a church involve more than the life and habits of members of the church and encompass all factors of living in the specific society. The church, itself an institution in society, cannot simply be isolated from it. Important factors in this regard are government, the state and trends influencing the social life of citizens. So the state and its constitution, as well as prevailing social norms, are all to be reckoned with.
The South African context after 1994
The context of South African society after the official ending of apartheid with the first fully democratic general election in 1994 differs radically from the context pre-1994. I am referring not only to the new non-racial attitude in society in general - which is, however, not the approach of every citizen, politician or recognised leader, white or coloured or black.1 For example, government official statistics are still based on race. I am also referring to spiritual trends underlying the new South African society as a whole.
I don't want to create the impression that what I have indicated here reflects all the trends in the South African society with a bearing on church government or polity. I am referring only to some of the more prominent trends in society.
A strong influence in South African society is the new democratic and religiously neutral state constitution and the philosophy behind it: the Constitution of 1996 (Vorster 2003:412-414). This constitution forbids any judicial or state differentiation based on race, sex, sexual orientation and religious affiliation, and advocates freedom of speech, religion and association. It is a constitution which endorses human rights in the simple and straightforwardly humanistic sense of the word. In a narrow sense it underlines the freedom of individuals in the broadest sense of the word (Kleyn & Viljoen 1999:267; Constitutional Assembly 1997:5-6).
This approach has an influence on the thinking of the church on ethical and polity issues. It creates questions about the authority of church assemblies and the way in which these assemblies come to decisions. It also underscores the right of individual believers to distance themselves from decisions of the assemblies. It urges the churches to make room in thought and action for the right of the individual's personal views on spiritual issues.
Departing from the right of individuals to their own viewpoints and preferences, a new term has been developed in church circles: diversity (DRC 2011:211vv). This diversity is also used in the context of differences over core issues of church doctrine and polity. As one observer puts it, this diversity creates the problem that a prescribing church order can no longer bind all church members (Prisma 2/2009:17).
This trend fits in with the present approach of post-modernism advocated in some DRC circles. This approach may promote a relativism of convictions.
Although a new climate is created by the people who speak out against racial prejudice in any sense of the word, there is a tendency to be more sympathetic towards black people as the underprivileged of the past than towards believers of other races in South Africa. Thus the views of the formerly disadvantaged on church affairs and church polity are often more carefully considered than those of others.
This approach also tends to neglect things in South Africa's apartheid past which had nothing to do with apartheid, and some were in fact challenges to the ideology of separate development.
An example here is the approach of the Uniting Reformed Church of Southern Africa (URCSA) to possible major assemblies in a new united Dutch Reformed Church (DRC). According to their own thinking and understanding of the Belhar Confession dating from the 1980s (Cloete & Smit 1984:7-10), one federal council for this family of churches is not a structure of unity, but of apartheid or segregation. Not that it is such from a church political point of view, but simply because it was used in a time when the General Synod of the DRC supported apartheid (DRC 1978:68-71). For the URCSA and their understanding of Belhar on the separation of churches this fits into the picture Belhar draws on church separation (URCSA 2008:208vv).
A third trend in South Africa after 1994 is that the values of the Constitution are seen as not only normative for the state but for non-state structures as well. A simple way for the government and their supporters to right past wrongs is to force an equal representation of groups, sexes and gender on all state and non-state governing structures in society, whether or not those appointed are equipped to do the job at hand. This is part of the official government policy of affirmative action, a policy also imposed on non-state institutions (Strauss 2010:3).
In some Reformed church assemblies this has moved the church to save a certain number of positions for women, young, black and coloured people. Thus in certain positions they do not elect the best-qualified people for the job in the assembly, but simply a certain number of women, young or coloured people, as represented in the specific assembly.
Core elements of a Reformed church polity
With these trends and background in mind, we can now approach some core elements of a Reformed church polity as well as the way in which the DRC and the Gereformeerde (Reformed) Kerke (Churches) in South Africa (RCSA) function in a changing South Africa. The adjective "changing" indicates that the South African society, after two decades of total democracy, is still changing. The buzzwords used in South Africa are transformation (and the need for it): transformation in this context is neither a Reformed word nor a Reformed principle. This transformation often simply means a transformation in the composition of the groups or individuals in control of institutions, in which the number of people chosen from each racial group reflects the diverse composition of the South African population. According to this way of reasoning, the majority of the people in control or present in these institutions or groups should reflect the racial majority in South Africa. Therefore the formerly underprivileged races or disadvantaged groups - who are a majority in South Africa -should take control. As a result other important criteria are often overlooked, such as suitability for the task at hand or experience in the field. The view of thinking people is that if this race-based approach is maintained and remains government policy, a new racism will have been created and officially sanctioned in South Africa.
The first Reformed principle for church government is the principle of an anti-hierarchy in both church offices and assemblies (Engelhard & Hofman 2001:147). These assemblies govern the church. Trends in the new South African society tend to move away from the supreme powers invested in synods and give local authorities a say as well. This helps to restore the rightful place of the congregation and its consistory as a fully fledged church, but also stimulates a new congregational independentism in the churches (Strauss 1997:172; 2008:242). What is more, it tends to minimise the impact and relevance of major assemblies. This impact is not always visible in church orders, but certainly is in the daily life of churches. This goes for the DRC as well as the RCSA. Examples are the reaction of a presbytery in the DRC Northern Synod to the effect: this is that the recent DRC General Synod held in October 2011 is for this church what Polokwane was for president Zuma and the ANC before his election as president (Volksblad 20:10:2011, 5). It is also known that RCSA consistories openly disobey the decisions of Synod about women in office and defy other decisions, calling themselves "dolerend" when they do so (Volksblad 24:01:2012, 2).
The second principle for a Reformed church government is that obeying the authority of the Word is obeying the authority of Christ as head of the church (Jonker 1965:12) - which may sound simple and easy, put this way, but which is not so easy in churches where people differ on the authority and impact of Scripture. In both the DRC and the RCSA the Bible is accepted and recognised as normative for life as a whole, but people differ about how the Scriptures is interpreted on certain core issues.
A recent point was made in the DRC that church unity should not apply for every detail of church life, but should rather be about agreement on the main points of the Christian faith (DRC 2007:220vv). These main points should be considered and formulated in the confessions of the church. The problem is that the points of difference or diversity had now been shifted by some to confessional issues like the covenant and baptism, which was also reflected in the agenda of the General Synod in October 2011 (DRC 2011:291).
These tendencies weaken the strength of the church as a DRC denomination, creating the feeling among congregations that they should concentrate on their own concerns and close their eyes to the problems of the denomination.
The question that remains is what visible impact a socially and politically changing South Africa has already made on the DRC and RCSA church orders. How is the changing South Africa reflected in their church orders? The DRC church order (DRC-CO) dates from 1962 and their first general synod. As far as its chapters are concerned, the DRC-CO follows the example of the Church Order of Dordt (DCO), and has remained unchanged since 1962. With regard to its content the DRC-CO used the Church Order of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands of 1959 as a temporary example of the DCO (Vorster 1960:13). Since 1962 the DRC-CO has undergone more changes than the church order of the RCSA (RSCA-CO). The RCSA tends to be more adapted to the DCO with fewer changes in recent times and therefore shows fewer signs of influence from its Umwelt. It will also be correct to say that over the years the RCSA seems to have taken a more independent stance towards influences from the outside world than the DRC (cf DRC 1978, 2004; Van der Linde 1983; Visser 1999).
The DRC-CO and RCSA-CO in a changing South Africa
Most changes in the DRC-CO since 1994 in connection with the social and political changes in South Africa reflect changes with regard to the new political dispensation.
This is already clear in chapter 1. In article 2.3 it is stated that the DRC controls and decides on its own internal order because it has the right to do so as a church and takes up its constitutional right, according to article 15 of the South African Constitution 1996, to freedom of religion. Before 1994 the DRC felt no need to say this. Now however it has seemed necessary in the climate created by the Constitution promoting the acceptance of internationally recognised rights and because of fears that the South African government may overstep the mark and try to force the DRC to take certain measures. In this environment the Constitution has helped the church hold onto its identity and religious freedom.
The second change in the DRC-CO was made to article 67 (DRC 2007:30). This article concentrates on the DRC's relationship with the state. This article was article 65 in DRC-CO 1962 (DRC 1962:14-15).
In 1962, and since most of the government of the day belonged to the DRC, the DRC-CO expressed its gratitude for government protection and noted the recognition of its right to freedom of religion by the state. What is more, it promised openly and solemnly not to misuse this freedom by promoting civic disorder or undermining government authority. These sentiments were unique to Reformed church orders and exemplified the close ties between the DRC and the pro-apartheid government. They were also a response to the public resistance of the ANC and PAC against the National Party government in the 1960s: a resistance not popular in the DRC. After the change in government in 1994, the article was reworded to include any government -Christian or non-Christian - according to Romans 13 and to be much more precise about church-state relations.
The South African labour laws of 1995 also had an influence on the DRC-CO. This was seen in the changes to article 12 concerning the church and ministers in its service. Although formulated as a church document, this article reflects these laws in spirit (DRC 1998:7).
In contrast to the DRC-CO the RCSA-CO does not follow the mode of changes on issues which could be connected to changes in the South African state. Their ways of formulating church-state relationships before and after 1994 have remained the same. The RCSA-CO was changed in 1967 based on a comparison between the tasks of the church and the state: as the agent able to enforce its will on all, the state should protect the church in its actions as the agent for justice in society; the church in turn should strive towards a good relationship with the government, to maintain contact with the government and to witness to the government when necessary. This formulation makes provision for any government, Christian or non-Christian. In this sense it obeys Romans 13 (Visser 1999:121:vv).
The labour laws did not stimulate change in the RCSA-CO (Visser 1999:3vv). The RCSA is of the opinion that the state should respect and stay out of the internal relations of the church. A true church, is the argument, will handle people in its service with justice and therefore cannot be compared to other social institutions. This remains a point of debate in modern South Africa: how to be Reformed and stay a church in one's own right in changed circumstances.
For both the DRC and the RCSA the biggest change in their Umwelt since 1994 has not been in internal changes but from without, in a society based on a humanistic bill of rights. The aim of both is to remain true to their Reformed calling in new circumstances. In its church order the DRC has shown more response to the issues of a changing South African society than the RCSA. The latter, however, has probably been more independent on these issues from the outset.

Every 6 months or so I continue to revisit a topic I have never found an answer for. What I am looking for is some type (ANY TYPE) of national map which outlines the boundaries of each of the 1000+ MLS (Multiple Listing Services).
I have no idea why, but for some reason the National Association of Realtors will not release this data and it kinda drives me a little nuts.
If ANYONE has any type of source for this info, even if it's just the exact zip codes covered by each MLS, then I would greatly appreciate if you could share the info with me.
