text: Looking back on Tuesday the 3rd of April, I can still say it was one of the best days of my year. This is the day I went white-water rafting for the first time on Costa Rica's Rio Pacuare. The rapids are classed as III-V which is pretty high on the scale (VI is the highest), and the route takes you down a beautiful stretch of the river with jungle covered banks filled with monkeys, waterfalls and numerous birds (including the photogenic toucan). But we didn't spend too much time birdwatching, as there were some mighty rapids ahead, and the adrenalin was pumping!

5 Best Towns in the US to Live
What are the 5 best towns in the US to live in? This list is not based necessarily on the highest median income, most corporations, most available jobs, lowest crime rate, most comfortable climate or weather, most parks, or best restaurants.
Nor is it necessarily based on best public transportation, best museums, best nightlife, best schools and universities, best shopping, best professional sports, or best highways and biways.
Click here to make more money part time in real estate than you do full time on your job!
Although, many of these cities do have many of these features, this list is simply of my favorite US cities that I have either lived in, or spent more than a little time in.
I could live in any one of these fine places, and may yet move to one or more of them. Unfortunately, the city that I currently live in, did not make my list, despite many positive attributes.
It's unfavorable weather, atrocious drivers and roads, and high crime outweigh the good that it has to offer. I will not name the city, but there are many others here in the US that resemble it.
Here are the 5 best towns in the US to live, starting with number 5. See if you don't agree with this list.
The fifth best town in the 5 best towns in the US to live is:
5. Jacksonville, Florida
Jacksonville is a large city in northeastern Florida, and sits on the Atlantic Ocean, and bordering the banks of the St. Johns River. It is approximately 25 miles south of the Georgia state line.
The city population is just under 900,000, and the Jacksonville metropolitan area consists of about 1.5 million people. It is the largest city by area in the 48 contigous states, and is the 12 largest by population in the United States, as of 2015.
It is the 4th largest metropolitan area in the state of Florida, followed by Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. It was named after Andrew Jackson, the first military governor of the Florida territory, and seventh President of the United States of America.
Jacksonville is known to the rest of the country, and the world as a US Navy town, and a golf town. It is home to Blount Island, and Kings Bay Submarine Base, and makes up the 3rd largest US Navy presence in the country.
Cecil Field Naval Air Station was prominent during the World War II years and through the Vietnam era. It has since been closed.
The PGA, Professional Golfers Association, is headquartered in Jacksonville, at Ponte Vedra Beach, the home of TPC Sawgrass. TPC Sawgrass is home to the Tournament Players Championship, and quite possibly the most famous hole in golf, the par 3, 17th with it's island green.
Jacksonville, with it's warm temperatures, is also known for it's beaches, and for it's seafood. It is also known for it's rich history.
Fort Caroline, established in 1564 by the French, is one of the earliest European settlements in what is now the continental United States.
The fourth best town in the 5 best towns in the US to live is:
4. Branson, Missouri
Branson, Missouri is a city in southwestern Missouri, and is in the Ozark Mountains. The population of Branson is 10,600, yet during the warmer months, the amount of tourists that visit the area totals well over 1 million.
Branson also borders 2 large, scenic lakes, Lake Taneycomo, and Table Rock Lake. Branson was founded in 1882, and named after a postmaster, Ruben Branson.
Branson is well known as an entertainment center with it's miles of live theatres, and the old stand by Silver Dollar City, which has been around since the 1960's. which started as a recreation of a frontier town, but has since evolved into a family entertainment destination.
In the 1960's Branson was a quiet town, much like many others that sat on or close to a big lake. Table Rock Lake, which is easily the biggest draw for me, was a primarily fishing lake, with some boating, and water skiing thrown in.
The shoreline was dotted with a few homes, and a few resorts. Today, the lake is much more populated, and is still being built out.
Branson and the surrounding area has lost some of it's charm of the 60's, but Table Rock Lake, and Lake Taneycomo still provide good fishing, and many picturesque views.
Possibly the best thing about living in Branson, and the surrounding area is the relatively low cost of living. The winters in this part of the country are usually not severe, with only a few months of cold weather, and minimal snow, and ice to worry about.
This combination of lower cost of living, and warmer temperatures, makes the Branson area a great place to live, regardless whether it's full time, as a retirement home, or as a weekend, or vacation destination.
There are many dining options, and of course, Branson is the live entertainment capital of the US, yes, even exceeding Las Vegas.
So, if you don't mind the RV's and campers, and some long lines once in a while, and some extra speed boats harshing your buzz, you can have the best of both worlds. Peaceful lake living, and exciting night life. Branson still is hard to beat.

The third best town in the 5 best towns in the US to live is:
3. San Diego, California
San Diego, California is a large city in southern California, on the Pacific Ocean coast, about 120 miles south of Los Angeles, California, and on the border with the country of Mexico to the south.
San Diego has a population of about 1.4 million people, and is the second largest city in California. It is known for it's sunny, comfortable year round weather, many beaches, and it's partnership with the US Navy. It is also known for fabulous seafood, and authentic Mexican cuisine.
San Diego is considered the birthplace of California, and was the first site on the west coast of the United States that the Europeans visited, in 1542 by Spain. In 1850, after the Mexican – American war, it became part of the United States, along with the admission of California.
San Diego is a big Navy town, and has several Naval bases: NAS Miramar, NAS North Island, and Naval Base San Diego or 32nd Street.
San Diego has many attractions besides it's beaches, such as historic Balboa Park, and the San Diego Zoo, considered one of the best in the country.
San Diego's close proximity to Mexico offers opportunities to experience what it's like in another country.
With it's smaller population compared to it's neighbor to the north, Los Angeles, it is easier to get around in San Diego, and may be a better place to raise a family than LA, due to LA's high crime rate, and it's crazy Hollywood culture.
San Diego's drawbacks are it's high cost of living ( although not as high as LA, or San Francisco ), large illegal immigrant population, and it's earthquakes. It lies on the San Andreas fault, the largest, and most active fault in the country. It's beautiful weather, fabulous seafood, and gorgeous beaches, however, will trump all of the negatives.
The second best town, in my humble opinion in the 5 best towns in the US to live is:
2. San Francisco, California
San Francisco, California, is a large city in northern California. It sits on the San Francisco Bay, of the Pacific Ocean. The city's population is just under 900,000, and is the 4th largest city in California, and the 13th largest in the United States.
If you include the surrounding cities of Oakland, and San Jose, making up the Bay Area, it becomes the fifth largest metropolitan area in the nation with 8.7 million people.
San Francisco was founded in 1776 by the country of Spain. It's population, and prestige grew in 1849 due to the California Gold Rush.
San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge which spans San Francisco Bay between itself and Oakland. It is also known for the now defunct island prison of Alcatraz, cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf, fog, and Chinatown.
San Francisco has suffered two major earthquakes in it's recent history, in 1906, and in 1989. Both times the city rebuilt, and prospered.
There may be no more beautiful city in the world when the sun sets on the San Francisco Bay over the Golden Gate Bridge. This sight alone may account for much of it's astronomical cost of living, especially along the bay.
It is also a very cosmopolitan city with residents from many countries around the world. It is home to some of the best restaurants in the world, and one could eat at a different country cuisine restaurant most any day of the year. And, of course the seafood is second to none.
This area (San Jose) is home to Silicon Valley, which is the technology hub of the universe and features superstar tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Yahoo.
It is also home to many other corporations, and prominent institutions of higher learning such as Stanford University.
The drawbacks beside the super high cost of living (a typical home can be 4 to 6 times as expensive as a comparable home in the midwest) are: it can get quite cool, even cold in the summer, especially when the breeze picks up off the bay.
It is a relatively small area with a dense population, and that can cause problems with traffic, and waits for public events, restaurants, etc.
San Francisco is a great place to visit, and yes, I want to live there too.
And the best town of the 5 best towns in the US to live is:
1. Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Steamboat Springs, Colorado is a town in the Rocky Mountains in northwestern Colorado, with a present day population of 12,000
The town got it's name from early trappers that heard a chugging sound that they said sounded like a steamboat coming down the river, that turned out to be coming from one of the local springs.
The city, also know as Steamboat, is a winter ski resort destination that is known around the world. In addition to world class skiing, ski jumping is big in the area, and is featured at the Howelsen Ski Area.
The town hosts an annual Winter Carnival which showcases ski racing, ski jumping, dog sledding, and chariot races.
The Yampa river runs through the town of Steamboat Springs. The Yampa valley and surrounding area contains several geothermal hot springs. There are two public hot springs.
Old Town Hot Springs in the largest, and Strawberry Park Hot Springs known for it's excellent stargazing is located a few miles out of town.
If skiing, and ski jumping aren't your thing, there is always activities in the warmer months at the Yampa River, like tubing, rafting, fishing, and kayaking.
The Yampa River festival takes place the first week of every June. This features a kayak rodeo, a Crazy River Dog contest, and a down river race.
The Steamboat area is also an outdoorsman's paradise with great fishing, and hunting opportunities. Hikers, and climbers will also love the area.
Steamboat gets a lot of snow every winter, and the townspeople embrace it. It does get cold there, but it is a dry cold, and it is more bearable than other winter destinations.
If skiing isn't your thing, you can take a Gondola to the top of the mountain, and feast your eyes on the breathtaking views, while you relax and enjoy a meal. The awe inspiring winter scenes are never ending, and having a camera with you at all times is a must.
Perhaps the best thing about living in this gorgeous town, is the fact that it is unspoiled. The air is incredibly fresh, especially on the slopes, and the only pollution to be concerned about comes from the cars driving through town.
Each time I visit Steamboat Springs, I see or experience natural beauty that I hadn't seen or experienced before, and when I leave, I often think of returning, maybe this time to live. If you love winter like I do, Steamboat is as good as it gets.
Honorable mention favorite cities: Ft. Myers, Florida, Denver, Colorado, Vero Beach, Florida, Manhattan Beach, California, Phoenix(Scottsdale), Arizona, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

oh if you expand @citrustwee 's pigpoopballs image it has a counter.social watermark on it
it seems jesterman is finally fixing what he broke so that c.s. is properly quarantined
only took a day straight of trolling c.s, taunting him on keybase, and making an account at freespeechextremist impersonating him and informing people praising him for shit eugen did that c.s violates the AGPL for him to finally put his shitty instance back in quarantine where it belongs
to the coso people stalking me now, here's what jester won't show you btw:
sorry for the shitty language in it, lulzsec were kind of shitheads. also if you dont know much about coding, it ah, its bad. it is needlessly burdensome on TOR exit nodes for no real benefit (think he'd be nicer to the NSA he admires so much (who runs like most of the tor exit nodes lol)) and he like. doesn't even do any raw socket manipulation it's just high level networking calls which is 😩 af
oh my god ok i have to transcribe this part of our keybase chat
Even if what you say is true, here you are bitching like a bitch. It's my Mastodon instance, don't like it? Domain block it. You look like a fool.
For real.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
someone's a madboi ahahahahahahahahahahaha
oh also as a note to the nice steampunk lady on coso, my rules clearly say it's ok to cast dunking hexes on chuds ;) also come by and say hi! i really think you'd like it better with a bunch of other gothy women/nonbinary people (and SOME males) instead of on some isolated shitty instance run by a chud who LARPs as a hacker-cop and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way :)
just. haveing a normal one now i guess. also as predicted he won't post the screenshots that include the pastebin of XERXES code
also im really tickled that he tries to pwn me with numbers and doesnt even take advantage of the fact that its lower than usual because it reset a weekish ago when i moved the server so its at 350ish instead of the 500 its usually at
dont worry bro im pretty happy witches.live users actually log in and post :) remember how we post about as much as all of counter.social does with like, 1/3rd the active users and 1/15th the userbase.
and i dont even have to go on twitter to lie to anyone about what my instance is!
also you know what rules? running a special interest mastodon instance with a bunch of people i love on it, that also talks to a lot of other instances of varying fediverse softwares, also with a lot of people i love
alone, it's almost as busy as all of c.s. and the fediverse as a whole is WAY busier than just c.s.
but sure jesterman keep talking about how jealous we are it's really funny
dont worry whiteboys, one day you might be in an advertisement for james bond films and run a social network grift with stolen code
@anna funded by three cryptocurrency ICO events in Puerto Rico
@bignose i dont think he even ran a cryptocurrency scam, and yet here he is, loving his life and totally not having a meltdown about being pwned and tango down'd by a cute lady
@petra hmm. yeah, logic checks out!

- Heat protectant for hair
Very good heat protectant: HSI Thermal Protector 450
Before you treat the hair with a curling wand you have make sure that the hair is completely dry. The hair should never be wet, otherwise the outer layer will be severely damaged. Therefore a heat protectant is highly recommended before you curl the hair. And the same goes for a hair-friendly curling wand, just take a look at our curling wand review.
There are several different ways and heat protectants to protect the hair adequately. You should pay attention to using high-quality products, it is no option to save money in this matter. Depending on which product you choose, you can put it into the damp hair or after drying (see package). Usually you dry the hair at first, and then you use the heat protectant.
Heat protectant serum
A heat protection serum can be sprayed directly into damp hair or kneaded into it. It is a very good heat protection and maintains the hair at the same time. It penetrates deep into the hair and repairs the outer layer. The hair shines and is also protected from moisture.
Heat protectant fluid
A heat protection fluid has usually a thicker consistency than a protection serum and is also massaged directly into the wet hair after washing. It is best to use it only in the lengths and tips, otherwise there is a danger that the hair will grease more quickly. Just like a serum, it protects the hair intensively against the heat and makes it shine. It is also possible to knead it into the hair after drying – in this case the hair looks even more brilliant.
Heat protectant cream
A heat protectant cream has – as the name implies – a creamy consistency. It is only kneaded into the damp hair. It is not only a heat protection, but has also a smoothing effect. The cream does not necessarily give shine to the hair, but in combination with a serum or fluid you have the perfect protection for your hair and you give it a caring treatment at the same time.
Nowadays the heat protectant products are mainly found in spray form. This ensures that the hair is completely and regularly covered and protected. But everybody should use the kind of protectant he or she likes best. The result counts, not the way it is achieved.

Dwight Garner reports in The New York Times that The Paris Review has now made ALL of its interviews with authors available on line. This is wonderful news for anyone who loves reading, writing, or finding out as much as possible about writers' lives and working habits.
The Paris Review is, along with The New Yorker and Granta, the gold standard for literary magazines. Harold L. Humes, Peter Matthiessen, and George Plimpton founded it in Paris in 1953, and its roster of contributors is impressive indeed. Each issue has carried at least one, and sometimes two, interviews with writers. The ones I've read are always prefaced by some background on the circumstances and surroundings of the interview. The interviewers always ask good questions and you get a good sense of the author's personality and state of mind at the time of the interview. In fact, they're really good stories that give the reader additional insight into the author's works.
The archive includes interviews with Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy. Never one to mince words, McCarthy tossed off a pithy insult about Hellman on The Dick Cavett Show in 1980, saying "every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the.'" The lawsuit that Hellman then filed made most of the rest of McCarthy's life miserable. As a lawyer, having seen litigation up close and personal, I can't imagine that her lawsuit against McCarthy made Hellman herself happy for the five remaining years of her life. It certainly didn't do anything positive for her enduring reputation.
What do you think makes an interview a good story that you enjoy reading? Are there other magazines that I should have included in my "gold standard" of literary journals?

"Their Majesties' Servants"
London: John C. Nimmo, 1888. Item #02882
English Theater
DORAN, [John]. "Their Majesties' Servants." Annals of the English Stage from Thomas Betterton to Edmund Kean. By Dr. Doran, F.S.A. Edited and revised by Robert W. Lowe. With fifty copperplate portraits and eighty wood engravings. In three volumes. London: John C. Nimmo, 1888.
Limited to 300 numbered copies (this being #222) printed on fine deckle-edge Royal 8vo paper. Three large octavo volumes (9 7/8 x 6 5/16 inches; 251 x 161 mm.). Engraved frontispieces and plates and wood-engraved text illustrations, including fifty portraits in duplicate, one on Japanese and the other on plate paper, as India proofs. Descriptive tissue guards. Wood-engraved tail-piece vignettes.
Bound ca. 1970 by [Sangorski & Sutcliffe] for Asprey in three-quarter green crushed levant morocco over green cloth boards, ruled in gilt. Spines decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. A fine set.
"Readers are indebted to Dr. DORAN in these pleasant volumes, for the first history of the English acted Drama, fitted for ordinary perusal by its moderate length and the amusing nature of its contents. It is sure to become a popular book, as long as the great names of the golden age of the Theatre retain their attraction… The actors -- those "diverting vagabonds" -- (as Dr. JOHNSON somewhere called them,) stand indeed a better chance to be remembered than most of their graver cotemporaries. There are many among them whose talents might adorn, and their virtues reflect credit on any sphere of action. GARRICK. KEMBLE, SIDDONS, CHARLES KEAN, BETTERTON, and others, are names that would ennoble any profession, and if many of equal ability with those mentioned failed to rival their virtues, the very delinquencies that their names recall, but add to the never failing interest with which we read of PEG WOFFINGTON, KITTY CLIVE, SAMUEL FOOTE, EDMUND KEAN, COLLEY CIBBER, and a whole host of names classic on the boards of Old Drury. Under ???riple heading of "Actors, Authors and Audiences," Dr. DORAN leaves no corner of theatrical history unvisited that could add to the completeness of his picture of the drama in England. This is traced from its origin, when the players were merely an appendage to regal state, acting by virtue of a royal patent, under the regulation and supervision of an officer of the King's household, the Lord Chamberlain, to the year 1843, when "their Majesties servants" became a formality only, and free trade in the drama was established. Dr. DORAN'S style is objectionable as being too obtrusively vivacious; he is nothing if not piquant, and can scarcely repeat the witticism of another without barbina the arrow and sharpening the point." (New York Times, November 9th, 1864).

In this video, we learn how to open a banana like a monkey. First, take your banana and grasp it in your hand. Now, flip the banana upside down so you have the part without the stem. Push the bottom together at the tip until you see the banana in the skin.
Now, it should be loosened up and ready for you to peel. Peel the different sides of the banana down until you reach the bottom. After this you can eat it right out of the skin, or you can cut it up and use it in recipes or eat it in chunks, enjoy!

In my spare time — which seems harder and harder to find — I enjoy exhilarating activities like bungee jumping, white-water rafting and skiing. My pursuit of adventure has always helped me take a fresh approach to the various niches I've been associated with in the telecommunications industry.
For example, I helped transform BSG Clearing Solutions from a traditional telecom billing provider into a more dynamic company that addresses aspects of the new digital commerce and communications landscape.
Opposites Attract
As I look back on my technical and management career, I can think of a few "best decisions" I've made with respect to information technology investments. When I was a technical manager and later a senior executive, no doubt the first and often best hire I made was someone with strengths opposite mine. More specifically, I always try to hire, as soon as possible, an IT professional whose strengths complement my weaknesses. They worry about things so I don't have to.
A couple of technology decisions in hindsight turned out to be wise. Back in the early 1990s, we decided to incorporate Global Positioning System and various mapping technologies into a complex dispatch and force management system used by tens of thousands of technicians across the country. The savings and value delivered were, and to this day remain, extensive.
More recently, we decided to rewrite a set of complex, high-performance transaction processing systems to more easily and rapidly roll out new service offerings. We considered various architecture alternatives and made a bet on an open solution based on systems such as Linux and MySQL, which were not proven at the time. Now with our greatly reduced cost structure and flawlessly performing systems, the decision seems obvious and the results have exceeded our expectations.
Early Adopters Can Get Burned
My biggest IT mistake (and most costly personally) was trying to deploy an off-the-shelf, fully configurable, enterprise-grade, mobile applications suite seven years too early.
Simply put, the handheld processing power, networks, access to back-end corporate systems, and standardization of best business processes and practices were not mature enough.
Unfortunately, I spent millions of dollars to learn each of these hard lessons. Even today, the pieces are not fully in place for large corporations to maximize efficiency and improve remote field operations.
Given the rapid pace of technology change, it is difficult for senior executives with general management responsibilities to stay current and understand the far-reaching impacts of the latest innovations. That said, those who don't surround themselves with folks who are technically current and savvy are putting their companies and potentially their customers (not to mention their own careers) at risk.

Hollie must be very excited about performing at this wonderful event. The Roundhouse is an excellent choice for venue. It has a distinguished history of hosting great concerts in the past. The theatre is even linked to the Beatles. I anticipate that Hollie's album debut will be a brilliant success.

I Didn't Come Here & I'm Not Leaving
- (Duplicated CD)
- Artist: Organ Wolf
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 11/16/2007
|your cart is empty
Not to be confused with Japanese garage monsters Guitar Wolf, this local Chicago quartet comprises veterans of Joe, the Deans, the Betsy Years (also a starting point for Liz Payne of Town and Country), the Verve Pipe, and the Redmoon Theatre marching band, among other gigs. The mostly instrumental tracks explore nearly everything that's ever been done with an electric organ in popular music, including skittish pop, warbly fusion, green-onion funk, and skanky garage-party make out music. Monica Kendrick - Chicago Reader Electronics figure into the self-titled disc by Organ Wolf. The organ work is at once retro and right now, combining a jazzy improvised quality with a rocking sensibility. Organ (ic) tracks such as 'Brian's Jammies,' 'Super Gold,' 'Stumble,' 'Hawaii 40oz.,' and 'old Grandad,' may have you regretting that you didn't take the organ lessons that your parents tried to get you to take in the fourth grade. Gregg Shapiro - Windy City Times I've been reading, It Came from Memphis;by Robert Gordon... (Thank you Tony Barnett). I am not naive; I do not believe that revolutions just happen. Wars don't just happen. We learn from the past, and we build on it... It happened in Memphis in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. We are making it happen here in the 90's and 00's. Organ Wolf knows their history. They know where the Hammond Organ came from. The Church, Jazz, Pop, Soul, Funk. Memphis,with the Stax Horns... Organ Wolf! Now with some study, I can appreciate this band all the more. The music that snakes up the Mississippi that comes tonight to shake up yo' ass. Get UP! Stand UP! Let's git the Juke Joint Jumpin'! Tim Tuten - The Hideout Newsletter Organ Wolf specialize in their own very special blend of wacked out, Hammond organ freakery coupled with ancient sampler doo-dads, broken synthesizer riffs, Memory Man trumpet textures, wicked drums, toilet seat guitar and, last but not least, sexy bass player dance stylings. Extremely rowdy stuff to be sure!!! Organ Wolf share the bill with Calvin Johnson and a venerable cast of characters that materialize collectively as Dub Narcotic Sound System. WOW! This should be a great show! Chooch Martin - Pooch Karton Extended Family News.

Shamus Plays: LOTRO, Part 11Shamus Plays - RSS 2.0
I'm still trying to earn enough money to buy some fancy clothes and some dye. It hasn't been going well.
My next hopeful employer is Rollo. He wants to hire me to play hide and seek for him.
Rollo explains, "It's just no fun looking for someone when you already know where they're hiding. So maybe you can have a go of it?"
I look sideways. The mayor is actually standing nearby. I need this money, but I don't want people to know what I'm doing to get it. I'm sort of hoping they'll just assume I'm having sex for money or something. After looking around, I tell Rollo in a low voice that I'll do his seeking for him.
"Thank you!" He replies cheerfully and with needless volume, "I mean, I don't know how many more times I can pretend to be surprised that Daisy is hiding in the bushes or that polo is right beside that statue over there."
There is a long pause before I reply. Did he just tell me what I think he told me? "I thought you were giving me this job because looking for people is boring if you already know where they are."
"That I am."
"But... you just told me where they are."
"Hmmm. A fair point!" he admits. "I suppose you could find someone else and hire them to-"
"Forget it! I'll just.... forget it. I'll go 'find' them."
I stomp off to where Polo is, but he's not really hiding. He's sort of kneeling in the open, although if you stood in just the right place you could sort of pretend he was partially obscured. I stand in front of him and point at him. He shrugs.

I have created a couple of "Applications" with Studio and have a problem with the video. The initial "SuseStudio" splash screen and the "Loading Linux Kernel" box is displayed correctly but then the video get corrupted (It looks like a snow storm:) At boot time I have changed the display to 1024x768 and 800x600 with no improvement. Anyway, if I boot with "Fail Safe" and then at the # prompt I run "startx" the video display comes up correctly.
Any ideas how to kick the video into place before creating the .iso file ....

Mixed connective tissue disease features signs and symptoms of a combination of disorders — primarily of lupus, scleroderma and polymyositis. For this reason, mixed connective tissue disease is sometimes referred to as an overlap disease.
In mixed connective tissue disease, the symptoms of the separate diseases usually don't appear all at once. Instead, they tend to occur in sequence over a number of years, which can make diagnosis more complicated.
Early signs and symptoms often involve the hands. Fingers may swell up like sausages, and the fingertips might turn white and become numb. In later stages, some organs — such as the lungs, heart and kidneys — may be affected.
Mixed connective tissue disease occurs most commonly in young women. Treatment often includes drugs such as prednisone.

Company to set up in Florence County
Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc. plans to open a facility in Florence County. An initial $8 million investment will create 25 jobs as part of the company's move to the county.
The company produces and markets CRAiLAR®, a natural fiber made from flax and other bast fibers.
"We thank the state of South Carolina, Florence County and all those who helped to establish the company's presence in South Carolina," said Ken Barker, CEO of NAT in a press release. "We are proud to see our investments and hard work beginning to pay off in the form of the production of CRAiLAR for commercial use. We're particularly excited that Hanesbrands, our first production partner for Crailar, is being recognized this month for its sustainability efforts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and that it cited the use of our flax fiber, produced out of our test facility in Kingstree, in its EcoSmart socks available at retail in April. We look forward to further establishing our commercial, agricultural and civic partnerships in the state."
NAT will locate its operations in the 143,500-square-foot Delta Mills Cypress plant on Old River Road in Pamplico. To read the full story click here.

MDPI facilitated the 2nd Data Management Committee (DMC) in the province of North Maluku
MDPI, under the USAID Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced (USAID SEA) Project, facilitated the 2nd Data Management Committee (DMC) for the province of North Maluku in May 2018.
This meeting was attended by the members of the DMC: representatives of the provincial government, national government, industry, fishermen, NGOs and university.
The meeting aimed to give the DMC members the opportunity to discuss how they want to develop the data and fisheries management for their province; the desired reporting format from the data according to the needs of each stakeholder; the shared six-month workplan based on issues raised during the meeting and to discuss implications of newly introduced regulations for the provincial fisheries.
Pak Abdullah Assegaf, the head of Capture Fisheries in North Maluku, who is also the chairman of DMC North Maluku, explained that the development of fisheries management in North Maluku focuses on the development of five fishery commodities, two of which are tuna and skipjack.
In this meeting, MDPI team presented about the progress of the data collection conducted by MDPI in North Maluku. MDPI also gave I-Fish accounts to the members of DMC so that they can access the result of the data collection. I-Fish is a fishery database system for data collection of from small-scale tuna and skipjack fisheries in Indonesia. I-Fish data is accessible to fishermen and stakeholders such as government, and industry (other parties interested in the data must submit a data request form to the DMC). The data entry process is conducted by enumerators of MDPI.
At the end of the meeting, the DMC prepared a work plan for the next six months for fisheries improvement efforts, such as fighting illegal fishing, strengthening the data collection, FAD (Fish Aggregating Device) data collection, and good onboard fish handling training for fisherman. It is expected that the work plan can be well implemented for the fishery improvement in North Maluku Province and reported on during the next DMC meeting in North Maluku later this year.

The W3C was created to ensure compatibility for internet related language HTML – the code used by websites.

- Cross browser compatibility. Simply put, this means that your website will be compatible on all browsers – Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.
- Improved search engine rankings. Because of the W3C standards on cluttered code, compliant websites are treated better by search engines. This is because search engines have an easier time 'crawling' through the site code.

Vice President Mike Pence accused the Chinese government of orchestrating an aggressive military, economic and political campaign to expand its influence inside the United States.
In a speech at the Hudson Institute on Thursday, Pence said China has used covert actors, front groups and propaganda in an attempt to sway U.S. public opinion.
"To put it bluntly, President Trump's leadership is working, and China wants a different American president," Pence said. "As a senior career member of our intelligence community recently told me, what the Russians are doing pales in comparison to what China is doing across this country."
Going beyond the midterms and other efforts, Pence accused China of directly undermining President Donald Trump after the administration has talked tough and has taken action against specific Chinese trade, economic and foreign policies.
"Our intelligence community says China is targeting U.S. state and local governments and officials to exploit any divisions between federal and local levels on policy. It's using wedge issues, like trade tariffs, to advance Beijing political influence," Pence said.
President Trump signed an executive order in September authorizing sanctions against Chinese hackers involved in election interference.
Since then, the vice president says China has targeted more than 80 percent of the counties here in the United States won by Trump in 2016 election.

Almost every article published by swissinfo.ch contains a percentage, an age, an amount of money or some other figure. Here's a round-up of some of the most interesting statistics to appear in the past week's stories.
The seating capacity of the open-air arena at the once-in-a-generation Fête des Vignerons, which kicked off with a flourish on Thursday. This winegrowers' festival in Vevey, by Lake Geneva, is on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage sites and happens only once in a generation.
The number of grams of microplastics per km2 in Lake Geneva, according to a recent analysisexternal link by the Oceaneye group. The numbers put Lake Geneva in the same category as bodies of water such as the Mediterranean. The global average for sea pollution is 160g/km2.
The number of years it has taken for the US Senate to ratify a double-taxation agreement (DTA) with Switzerland after it was signed in 2009. This accord, designed to meet international standards on the exchange of bank data, had been blocked for ten years by one Republican US Senator.
The percentage of organic produce that comes wrapped in plastic film, according to a test by the Consumer Protection Foundation. The percentage for conventionally grown produce was 44%, it found, noting that this is doubly annoying for organic consumers, who generally "attach particular importance to environmentally friendly consumption".
273 million
The value in Swiss francs ($276 million) of war materiel exported by Swiss companies in the first half of 2019, compared with $205 million for the same period last year. The Group for Switzerland without an Army raised concerns over the further increase in arms exports.

Celebrate National Daiquiri Day
Though daiquiris have gotten a bad wrap as being the drink of choice of younger drinkers or the Applebee's crowd -- and admittedly, a banana daiquiri is our breakfast of choice when in the tropics -- the original daiquiri was not frozen or overly sweet. In fact, it was masculine enough to be a favorite of red meat eating, fishing fanatic Ernest Hemingway. Celebrate National Daiquiri Day today with an original-style daiquiri:
3 parts Bacardi Superior Rum
1 part lime or lemon juice
1/2 part sugar
In a shaker with ice, combine ingredients.
Shake and pour into glass

Father, if you are willing,
take this cup from me;
yet not my will,
but yours be done.
-Luke 22
It is easy being Christ in pleasant situations, when everything is going according to plan and expectations. When all is well as far as we can sense.
But how do you practice being Christ in trying situations? I was given what I think is the beginning of an answer last night when I went for a Chinese foot massage. You know, the kind that makes you wince because of the pressure. The guy who massaged me was incredibly strong (or knew how to position his body to exert the right amount of pressure) and he was hitting the right spots in the soles of my feet. At the time it was happening, I resorted to focusing on my exhales. I consciously relaxed my whole body from my facial muscles and my shoulder muscles, my back muscles, all my joints, and especially the muscles he was working on.
Only now in retrospect did I realize that I surrendered to the pressure he was applying to me. By surrender, I meant, the embodiment of, Into Thy hands, I commit my spirit. I softened my muscles, but that starts from the mind and the heart. The space of receptivity opens up, expands, and welcomes the pressure. Metaphorically, welcoming the stranger, the "least of these," the visitors in Rumi's 'guest house.'
For that is when our Christ-consciousness is tried and manifested. Those are the times when I am asked to grow and mature in my Love, my Faith in the Beloved. Those are graced times, when God truly has her loving hands on me. She is somehow saying, I Am here. Feel me. I Am with you. Do not be afraid.
How about you? Can you visualize the hand of the Divine Massage Therapist working on your 'spiritual muscles' when it feels you are in the valley of death? Can you treat those times detoxifying you, cleansing you, like a deep-tissue massage would?
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And put a new spirit within me.
The sacrifice acceptable to God
is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
-Psalm 51

Trouble ahead: Fewer have retirement funds, more raid them
ANN ARBOR—The proportion of working Americans with pensions of any kind has steadily decreased since 2001, according to a University of Michigan analysis that suggests trouble ahead for U.S. seniors.
"We expected to see a decline in the percent of employed workers with defined benefit pensions," said U-M economist Frank Stafford. "Everyone knows they're a thing of the past. But we also found that participation in defined contribution plans declined, going from 33 percent of employed men in 1999-2001 to 30 percent in 2007-2009. And that is the opposite of what we expected."
Stafford is the co-author with Thomas Bridges, a U-M graduate student in economics, of a working paper titled "At the Corner of Main and Wall Street: Family Pension Responses to Liquidity Change and Perceived Returns." In the paper, they analyze data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, a survey of a nationally representative sample of U.S. households conducted by the U-M Institute for Social Research since 1968.
During the period studied, researchers interviewed the same families every two years, obtaining a continuous look at how changes in the U.S. economy, notably the economic declines after 9/11 and the Great Recession of 2008, affected how families handled their IRAs, annuities, 401(k)s and other financial sources of defined contribution pensions.
They found that many families treat these retirement accounts as sources of ready cash for current needs and discretionary spending rather than as sources of income in retirement. About 6 percent of young adults ages 25 to 44 reported cashing in some of their pension money. And at age 59½—when early withdrawal penalties are removed—about 15 percent withdrew from their accounts, a proportion about equal to the rate of withdrawal those ages 65 and 66.
Withdrawals jumped in 2003, after the 9/11 stock market crash, briefly stabilized and then jumped again from 2007 to 2009.
"If you leave people to their own devices, it's tempting for them to use this money before they retire," Stafford said. "Our data show that they're withdrawing money for reasons ranging from out-of-pocket medical expenses to home repairs of more than $10,000 like a new roof, to discretionary expenses like remodeling their kitchens and installing granite countertops. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some families are using these accounts to obtain tax advantages, or to shelter assets from student loan applications."
By far the most common reason for withdrawals appears to be mortgage loan distress, according to Stafford. Those who are behind on their mortgages, or are afraid they are going to fall behind, are raiding their retirement accounts to stay above water.
"That's the problem with defined contribution pensions," Stafford said. "With defined benefit plans, people cannot get their hands on the money before they retire. Now as GM, Ford and many state and local governments are offering 'conversions' of defined benefit pensions, offering lump sums to retirees in place of monthly pension checks, this problem is going to get bigger.
"Our analysis confirms what everyone suspected—people are using their retirement accounts to help when their kids are going to college or their spouse loses a job. Sure, many employers make participation mandatory but you can subvert your employer's mandate by borrowing against the money for any number of reasons. So allowing pre-retirement access to these funds is a problem."
Funding for the analysis was provided by the Michigan Retirement Research Center at the U-M Institute for Social Research. The Panel Study of Income Dynamics is funded by the National Science Foundation and by the National Institute on Aging.

Anyone thinking of jumping into the Jumptap IPO when it's finally registered may want to think about this depressing fact about mobile advertising companies: They don't make money.
We're in the middle of an amazing boom in the mobile advertising business. $1.25 billion was spent on mobile ads last year. Yet the companies that in theory ought to be getting rich off that cash flow are not, according to their earnings disclosures.
Of the four major publicly traded mobile ad network companies — Velti, Millennial Media, Augme and Opera — only Opera makes a profit, and that's likely because its browser business forms by far the majority of its revenues. Opera's mobile ad business may also be a money loser, but its operating profit wasn't broken out in its most recent quarterly filing.
This fact — that even in the middle of a gold rush the cost of providing a mobile ad exchange far exceeds the revenues that can be gained from it — is sobering indeed when you consider the next potential phase of the mobile ad business: As more money enters, the best, most popular publishers will withdraw from the exchanges to prevent the price of their ad space from falling.
Publishers have seen what happened to display advertising on the web: As more and more ad space was controlled by auction-based marketplaces, the excess supply drove down prices. It's hard for publishers to make decent money off web ads.
They won't want that to happen again in mobile, and the ones with enough market power will withdraw from exchanges and networks to sell their inventory directly to buyers at a premium as soon as they're able, a source with many connections in the mobile ad business told us recently.
That will leave the networks with only the cheapest, least-demanded inventory available. Which augurs badly for their future revenues, and thus their profitability.
Here's a sampling of how much money they're losing, based on their Q1 2012 disclosures:
- Velti
Revenues = $51.8 million
Loss = $8.8 million
- Millennial Media
Revenue = $32.9 million
Loss = $5.3 million*
- Augme
Revenue = $5 million
Loss = $7.5 million
- Hipcricket (pro forma post-acquisition numbers from Augme)
Revenue = $3.4 million
Loss = $5 million
- Opera
Revenue = $47 million
Profit = $11.4 million
But only $7 million in revenue comes from ads.
*Correction: For Millennial, we accidentally used Q1 2011 numbers instead of Q1 2012 in the original version of this post. Apologies for that.

Melinda Salisbury
Melinda Salisbury was born in the 1980s in a landlocked city, before escaping to live by the sea.
As a child she genuinely thought Roald Dahl's Matilda was her biography, in part helped by her grandfather often calling her Matilda, and also the local library having a rather cavalier attitude to the books she took out.
Despite this she never manifested telekinetic powers, though not for want of trying. She still tries, to this day.
When she's not trying to unlock the hidden avenues of her mind, she's reading, writing, or travelling, all of which are now more addictions than hobbies. She can be found on Twitter as @AHintofMystery, though be warned she tweets often.

We are calling them "The CameraFRAUD of Washington," but they have an identity all their own, complete with a nice website and Facebook page.
The group is called BanCams and they are taking the fight against scamera proliferation to the streets and making a splash on local media as well.
Here is a message to all politicians in Washington State - You'd better listen to these good people because they're willing to work harder and do your job for you, since you have refused to do the right thing and ban this money making scam. If Arizona is any indication of what is to come, repeated embarrassment and being discredited is in your future if you do not get on the right side of this issue RIGHT NOW.

I'm sure no one is quite ready to be back to work today but how was your New Year's?!? Our's was wonderful, like our best yet. We had some of Tony's family over along with my mom and Brucy and it was so nice!! We served a traditional dinner of roasted tri-tip with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. I made an amazing sangria, which I will need to post the recipe for soon. We celebrated the New York new year and everyone was on their way home by about 10 PM. Tony and I stayed up and watched the west coast ball drop at midnight our time and toasted with some champagne and then snuggled up in bed. It was right around the time that I was pouring champagne for our mock midnight toast that I realized how fulfilled my 2015 was and that nothing was missing from the amazing time we were having. It was just perfect. Honest to God I could not have asked for anything more. I hope your celebration left your heart just as full as mine did and I pray that 2016 is all of our most blessed year yet!!
So this comfy lace topped shirt is so casual and perfect for a lazy weekend where you still plan on encountering a few people that you need to look a little less than homeless for. Pairing it with some light washed boyfriend jeans takes the comfort level up like three notches and you really can't go wrong with chucks. All in all this outfit will help turn errands into a dream.
I hope you have an awesome first week of the year!
