Woot woot! Another round of evening/late night sewing last night resulted in this super fun little honeycomb shirt to add to my KCWC accomplishments for day 2. It's made from an old white women's shirt (the shirt was old and white, not the woman) and a handful of scrap fabrics from my stash.
We paired it with the jeggings I made for her yesterday. So fun!
This time I followed her directions for doing the little puffed sleeve and, I must say, I'm in love. It's an alteration that is easy, quick, and adds just the right amount of dainty femininity to these wonderfully basic tees.
I admit, I could have sewn in the gathers on these sleeves more carefully, but, well, I didn't. And I don't really care. They look cute and unless my Intermediate Sewing professor from college is going to look at them, no one will ever know.
This little tee was really fun to put together and, even though the details are what make this shirt stand out, the process was super easy. You know I'm all about the easy.
In the midst of my late night mad sewing dash I stopped to take a few pictures of the process so you can make your own if you like! Find the step-by-step and more fun/crazy photos of Olivia after the jump!
I'm back at it with the fake washi tape again. Because none of the real stuff has magically appeared in my house yet. Thank you, masking tape and red Sharpie, for being a nice little stand-in.
Basically, the only details on this shirt that aren't covered in the Flashback Tee pattern and Rae's puffed sleeve tutorial are the little gray tags and all the sweet little honeycombs. Let's start with the honeycombs!
Honeycomb How-To (& free printable pattern)
Step 1: Print pattern. Click HERE to print the honeycomb pattern.
Please color on the rest of the paper or something. It feels like such a waste to print off a whole piece of paper for just one little honeycomb.
Step 2: Use honeycomb pattern as a guide to cut honeycombs from fabric.
I just used regular quilting weight cotton for all of my honeycombs. A big thanks to Jess who sent me a bunch of her fun scraps a while back! Most of the honeycombs came from her. :) Blog friends are so fun!
Step 3: Fuse the back of each honeycomb to the shiny (non-paper) side of Heat & Bond.
You can either do this by cutting out a slightly smaller honeycomb of Heat & Bond for each fabric honeycomb and ironing them together one at a time OR you can arrange the fabric honeycombs on a piece of Heat & Bond, cover them with a piece of scrap fabric that covers the entire piece of Heat & Bond, and then iron them all at once.
If you do the latter, once the Heat & Bond is fused to the fabric you'll be able to peel off the paper backing all at once. However, you'll still need to cut away the extra Heat & Bond around each fabric honeycomb. I did it both ways and I don't know that I really have a preference.
Step 4: Fuse the honeycombs to the t-shirt front.
Peel the paper backing off of each honeycomb, arrange them however you want on your shirt, and use the iron again to fuse the honeycombs to the shirt.
To make things easier on myself, I arranged the honeycombs in a little pattern beforehand, took a picture of the pattern, and then used that picture as my guide when it was time to fuse the honeycombs to the shirt.
Step 5: Sew honeycombs to shirt.
Using an 1/8" seam allowance and a regular straight stitch, sew each honeycomb to the shirt. You won't need to pin them in place because the Heat & Bond keeps them in place.
To save on thread and extra clipping along the way, I just sewed from one honeycomb to the next until they were all sewn onto the shirt front. If you do this, just be sure to backstitch as you stop and start on each honeycomb and then, of course, go back and clip all those little threads when you're done.
That's it! Easy, right?
I also added a few honeycombs to the back of the shirt (before sewing the shirt front to the shirt back). These were for both form and function. This little hole was in the shirt when I grabbed it off the shelf, so I covered it up with a little honeycomb.
Now there's a bit of fun detail on the back of the shirt and this particular honeycomb also acts as a little patch to cover up that pesky hole.
The lime green honeycomb near the other shoulder is covering up a small stain. Win-win!
So that's the run-down on the honeycombs!
As for the gray side tag, I just cut a small scrap of gray knit (it came from another old t-shirt), folded it in half, and stuffed it into the seam before sewing up the side seam. It doesn't really serve any purpose. You know, I mean other than being cute.
The little gray tag at the back of the neck is also a scrap of gray knit. It's just a little rectangle that I sewed onto the back of the finished shirt. It would be a little more functional if I actually wrote the size on it, but I didn't bother yet. For now, it's just a fun little detail and a cue to Olivia that that's the back of the shirt, since, for better or worse, she's starting to get herself dressed these days.
Olivia and I are both really digging her sweet new threads.
And all the fun German candy that Nana and Papa G sent over from their recent trip.
Thanks Nana and Papa!
Sugar high!
Peace out!

What are the main ingredients in beer?Beer Basics ·
This question was asked by an individual looking to brew beer at home. Even though it is geared towards brewing, it is still a good description of the main ingredients of beer.
In its most simple form, beer is made of four basic ingredients: Water, yeast, malt, and hops.
As is the case with the human body, the most abundant ingredient in beer is water. Over 95% of your brew is made up of water. With such a large amount of your final product coming from a single ingredient, you can imagine how important it is to use good water.
When brewing at home, it's best to use filtered, or better yet bottled water from the store (make sure that your bottled water is not just tap water in a bottle). This is much easier than testing your tap water, finding out what the mineral and chemical make up of it is and then using additives to get the balance just right (this is a technique used by more advance brewers to try and match the exact water make up for certain beers. An important point to mention here is to NOT use "distilled" water as your main source for brewing – the distilling process removes many of the natural elements that are beneficial to beer making.
Yeast is the engine that makes the whole process go (without yeast, you would just have a sweet, brown, tea-like substance with no alcohol… I shudder at the thought). Yeasts, part of the fungus family, are single-celled living organisms that eat sugars and convert them into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the wonderful and amazing process called fermentation.
In order to make a great beer you can't just use any old yeast that happens to fly by (the fact is that yeasts are everywhere… hey there's one right there.. watch out!). Wild yeasts can all but ruin your beer if they get in during the brewing process (unless, of course, you are making a true Belgium Lambic). The yeast we want is usually classified as "Beer Yeast" – yeasts that are specifically cultured for the purpose of brewing beer. There are two main types of beer yeast, lager yeast and ale yeast, and both are discussed further in Ales v. Lagers.
Malt – Traditionally malted barley
Malted barley is really nothing more than barley grains that have been soaked in water until they first begin to sprout. When the barley begins to sprout it draws on its starch reserves, which are transformed into simple sugars. This is the food we will be feeding to the yeast later. The barley is then dried and cured, creating a perfect source of sugar and soluble starches for the fermentation.
When it comes time to brew, the malted barley needs to be cracked and boiled in water in the process known as "mashing".
As a side note, it is important to mention that not all beers use barley; it is just the most common grain used. Many styles and brewmasters will use wheat, oats, rye, or other grains (called adjuncts) in the brewing process. While many of the beers brewed with adjuncts are good quality beers that simply use the alternative grains to create new flavors or styles, many of the larger breweries, especially in the US, will use rice, corn, or other inexpensive grains to simply save on costs. The corn and rice are used primarily as cheaper sources of fermentable sugar. These larger breweries use these "add junks" (I mean adjuncts), sometimes as high as 40% of the grains used, to produce more beer at a lower cost. You can definitely taste the difference (and I don't mean in a good way).
Hops, a distant cousin to cannabis, are the "conelike" flowers that come from this vining plant. There are over 50 different recognized varieties of hops with names like Saaz and East Kent Goldings. Hops are used in beer much the same way spices are used in cooking – to enhance the flavor and smell of the final product.
During fermentation, not all of the sugars from the malt will be consumed – leaving the beer with a sweet smell and flavor. Hops, which adds a certain degree of bitterness, a spicy flavoring, and a distinctive aroma, are especially useful in balancing this sweetness. However, this is not the only reasons that hops are used in brewing beer. Hops are also known to act as a bacterial inhibitor and as a natural clarifying agent.
Other Ingredients
Beyond the four basic ingredients of beer mentioned above, there are a number of other flavorings and additives that can be added to beers to create different styles, flavors, and characters. While we suggest using a Beer Kit while starting out, the addition of these "extra" ingredients is not very difficult and adds to the interest and complexity that any good hobby must have to keep you interested over time. Many of these adjuncts are explored in the more Advanced Brewing processes.

Players passing through an abandoned pool hall in Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing might catch a glimpse of the last words of a Capcom character who has covered wars, you know. Possible Dead Rising spoilers ahead?
Behold the final words of Frank West, another victim of the zombie apocalypse. Left without film, without a helicopter, and ultimately without hope. Of course things might have turned around for him in that final day, but whenever he wrote this, things must have looked pretty bleak.
You have to love the little cross-game nods, don't you?
For those curious, keep your eyes peeled during chapter two.

Pope John Paul II will be beatified in Rome on May 1, 2011.
After his death in 2005, U.S. Catholic put together a special issue on the papacy, looking at John Paul II's legacy as well as the road ahead for Pope Benedict XVI. As we declare the pope who reigned for 26 years "blessed," we look back on these reflections again.
We also welcome your thoughts: What one part of JPII's legacy is most significant to you? Email your response (along with your name and city/state) to email@example.com.

When in Rome: John Paull II's legacy at the Vatican
In his 26 years as pope, John Paul II gave new shape to the papacy, Richard R. Gaillardetz reflected shortly after his death. With his beatification, it's worth looking back on his papal legacy to see whether Pope Benedict XVI has followed in John Paul II's footsteps or found his own way.

Thornton could be activated Sunday
LOS ANGELES -- The Red Sox could get lefty Matt Thornton back in the bullpen by the end of this weekend. Thornton, who threw a simulated game on Friday, has been out since injuring his right oblique on Aug. 4.
"We'll check him tomorrow, and then, we'll go one of two ways. It could possibly be an activation for Sunday or, if we determine that he needs another time on the mound, we'll determine it," said manager John Farrell. "Most importantly, we just need to check that there's no soreness after today's session, during which he threw the ball very good."
Ryan Dempster, in the midst of a five-game suspension for hitting Alex Rodriguez on Sunday, did not throw a simulated game as originally planned.
"He'll throw his bullpen tomorrow," said Farrell. "He came in and got his early work done and, per the rules, he's left the building, as they say. So, we'll get him on the mound tomorrow."
Clay Buchholz threw a bullpen session on Friday and will fly Saturday to Hudson Valley in preparation for the start of his Minor League rehab assignment on Sunday for Class A Lowell.

University of Glasgow Publications Policy
Approved by Senate on 5 June 2008
The University's ambition as stated in its strategic plan, "Building on Excellence" and Research Strategy 2006-2010 is be one of the world's Top 50 research intensive universities.
In 2006 the Government announced its intention to replace the existing RAE with the Research Excellence Framework (REF), an assessment based on metrics, including bibliometrics in the form of citations to papers. HEFCE states that:
'The REF will consist of a single unified framework for the funding and assessment of research across all subjects. It will make greater use of quantitative indicators in the assessment of research quality than the present system, while taking account of key differences between the different disciplines. Assessment will combine quantitative indicators - including bibliometric indicators wherever these are appropriate - and light-touch expert review. Which of these elements are employed, and the balance between them, will vary as appropriate to each subject.' [1]
Following a recent consultation HEFCE have decided that future assessments will include some form of metrics-based assessment, including bibliometrics, as well as peer review for all (not just STEM) subjects.
The University recognises that research publications, as one of the main outputs of research, are a key asset. As such, they should be managed in a way that ensures that they provide maximum value both to individual members of the academic community, whose research output they represent, and collectively to the institution. The academic community has an essential role to play in the generation and publication of research publications while the University has an important role to play both to support and assist academic staff, and as the curator of the assets.
The objectives of this policy are:
- To increase the visibility of research publications produced by staff employed by or associated with the University of Glasgow
- To ensure that research outputs are prepared and curated in a way which helps maximise the value that they have for the university in terms of the external use of bibliometric data e.g. league tables, post-2008 RAE.
1. The University will maximise the impact of University publications in bibliometric analyses by ensuring that all research outputs are accurately recorded as being produced by University of Glasgow staff. There is some lack of consistency in the addresses used by authors.
The following addresses are examples of this. Taken from the Web of Science, one of the preferred bibliographic tools for the REF, these addresses appear on recent publications by University academic staff:
BHF Glasgow Cardiovasc Res Ctr, Glasgow, Lanark Scotland
Department of Medical Cardiology, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, UK.
It is imperative, for the REF, that all University of Glasgow publications can be easily identified and retrieved from bibliographic databases such as the Web of Science, and therefore Senate is asked to require Glasgow University staff, when submitting work for publication, to use an address in the form below. If publishers place constraints on the amount of space given for addresses, the phrase "University of Glasgow" must be prioritised. If this causes difficulties staff are asked to report these to Susan Ashworth in the Library (email@example.com) so that pressure can be applied on publishers to accommodate institutional requirements.
Dr. A. N. Other,
Department (or Division) of X,
Faculty of Y - University of Glasgow,
Other address details
2. A key element in the University's plans to maximise the impact of peer-reviewed research publications is the need to make such publications as widely available as possible. It is the University's policy to develop and implement a comprehensive publications database recording bibliographic information and providing access to, where possible, the full text, for all peer-reviewed, published research outputs produced by university staff. As research assessment moves towards bibliometric based metrics, this will support internal bibliometric analysis.
At present, the University strongly encourages authors to deposit copies of their peer-reviewed published work into the University's Institutional Repository, Enlighten, and while this has had some effect on increasing the number of full text papers made available it is only a fraction of the University's potential research output. The University is also intending to use Enlighten as the platform for its publications database. Bibliographic details of all peer-reviewed and published research outputs will now be added to this database, with links to the full text where available.
In order to achieve these objectives Senate is asked to approve a policy requiring staff to deposit:
- electronic copies of peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings
- bibliographic details of all research outputs, and to encourage staff to provide the full text of other research outputs where appropriate.
Publications will be made available within Enlighten (http://www.glasgow.ac.uk/enlighten/)
Staff are asked to deposit a copy of peer-reviewed, published journal articles and conference proceedings into Enlighten, where copyright allows, as soon as possible after publication. Other research outputs such as book chapters and books can also be deposited if desired by authors. Where a publisher has placed an embargo on making an item openly available, the item will not be made publicly visible until the embargo period has expired.
Staff are asked to provide the version of their papers that is as close as possible to the published version. An overwhelming number of publishers, including Elsevier, Springer and Blackwell, already allow authors to deposit their own " author final version" of their work in institutional repositories such as Enlighten. Staff will only be asked to provide copies of publications where publisher agreements permit deposit in online repositories. Repository staff will check publishers' copyright agreements to ensure that deposit is permitted. Under no circumstances will staff be required to make publications available in contravention of UK copyright law.
Many of the major funding bodies such as the Wellcome Trust, etc. already have in place open access policies that require authors to deposit an 'author final version' of their papers in a repository so acceptance of this version of a paper is widespread. Repository staff can check funders' Open Access policies and where staff are already required by their funders to deposit in a subject based repository such as UK PubMed Central, repository staff will ensure that links are made from Enlighten to the relevant repository. There will therefore be no requirement for staff to deposit in more than one repository.
Staff, or their representatives, can easily deposit items themselves via Enlighten or can email items directly to repository staff who will deposit them. Items deposited into Enlighten should normally be in PDF format, although other formats can be discussed with repository staff. There are full instructions on how to self-deposit at http://www.lib.gla.ac.uk/enlighten/depositprocess. Alternatively staff have the option of sending publications as an e-mail attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com to be uploaded by repository staff.
This change in policy will enable staff to take full advantage of the permissions granted by publishers and to assist them with compliance with funding bodies. Senate is asked to approve the implementation of such a policy from the beginning of the 2008/2009 academic session.

We should maybe think about the "Open" dialog from the new WinMerge 3.x:
Split files and directories?
In WinMerge 2.x you can open files and directories over the same dialog. This makes it very flexible but also more complex and had more traps for the user.
Should we use for WinMerge 3.x better a own open dialog for files and a own dialog for directories? In this case could be the "Open files" dialog much simpler then the "Open directories" dialog. And we can use the native select dialogs from the OS. Currently we abuse the Windows file dialog to open directories in WinMerge 2.x.
If we still want one dialog for files and directories, we could maybe use tabs to seperate the file and directory selection?

Frequently Asked Questions
- QWhat is website security?A
Website security is composed of website's data availability, integrity and confidentiality. The data is mostly represented by files and databases of the website. Availability is about uninterrupted and swift access to the website and its content, frequently, a DDoS attack may disrupt website availability and prevent legitimate users from accessing it.
Integrity involves security of the stored data, for example, attackers shall not be able to modify data or distort any information available on the website. Confidentiality relates to due protection of any sensitive data, for instance, logins and passwords of website users to ensure that nobody but the authorized personnel have access to it.
- QHow to check website security?A
Website security check shall include a thorough verification of its availability, integrity and confidentiality. On top of this security triangle, privacy and compliance with the enacted data protection laws and regulations make a website effectively standing atop of its competitors. ImmuniWeb Community Edition provides a free online test to quickly check your website security, privacy and compliance.
- QWhat is GDPR compliance?A
GDPR compliance relates to adherence to all of the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), a European law purported to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of European residents by increasing transparency of data handling, right to control your PII data and request companies and organizations to return and then delete any PII related to your persona.
The law was enacted in response to skyrocketing number of data breaches, leaks and unscrupulous handling of PII for commercial or even unlawful purposes without the consent of people.
- QHow to be GDPR compliant?A
The best way to start is to read the official text of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law. You may require competent advice about applicability and practical enforcement of the law, and it is strongly recommended to retain a licensed attorney in your country to clarify any grey areas as a single mistake may lead to a disastrous financial consequences being a fine of 4% of your annual turnover or 20 million euros whatever is greater.
GDRP compliance is a multifaceted exercise and involves processes, people and technologies. For example, you may test your website GDRP compliance with a free online test provided by ImmuniWeb Community Edition.
- QHow to test GDPR compliance?A
GDPR compliance test shall cover people, processes and technologies that handle or process Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of European residents by your organization. You shall retain a licensed attorney to review youк Data Protection policy and other legal documents and processes imposed by the articles of GDPR. Not all GDRP requirements are technical, for example, availability and protection of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is rather of HR and legal part of the GDPR compliance. You may test GDPR compliance of your website by using a free security test by ImmuniWeb Community Edition.
- QWhat is PCI DSS compliance?A
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance involves strict adherence to all of the 12 requirements of the standard for any company that processes at least one credit card on an annual basis. Some of the PCI DSS compliance requirements, for example, wireless network security and encryption, may be inapplicable only if the company does not have a wireless network within its Cardholder Data Environment (CDE). PCI DSS compliance also involves quarterly vulnerability scanning and annual penetration testing of the CDE environment.
- QHow to test PCI DSS compliance?A
To test PCI DSS compliance, one should first determine its Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) of the tested organization. The CDE scope clearly defines the segments of corporate network and cloud storage where credit card data is stored or processed. It is extremely important to properly define your CDE scope, otherwise you may overprotect or overspend on PCI DSS compliance leading to fines or considerable financial losses.
Then, your PCI DSS security auditors shall meticulously audit and test all applicable requirements of the PCI DSS standard implemented in your network. You may test your website PCI DSS compliance with a free online scanner by ImmuniWeb Community Edition.
- QWhat are HTTP headers?A
HTTP headers are part of an HTTP request sent by web browser to web server, or vice-versa, to pass additional information related to the transmitted content, its format or structure, or specifying some security or privacy features like setting Do Not Track (DNT) directive.
Some HTTP headers may be browser or web server specific. Some security headers, like Content Security Policy (CSP), are fairly complicated to configure due to the need to maintain sufficient website functionality but if properly implemented may mitigate a wide spectrum of XSS (Cross Site Scripting) and other attacks by disallowing insecure or untrusted content from running in user's web browser.
- QHow HTTP headers work?A
HTTP headers may be server-side or client-side. Both types of HTTP headers work by sending various instructions alongside with HTTP request on how to handle or process this request. For example, a client-side request sent by the browser may specify that the user does not wish to be tracked by sending a DNT (Do Not Track) HTTP server.
Similarly, server-side HTTP header may send instructions to the browser to renew its cache, use specific encoding when displaying the content, enable the XSS filter, prevent iframes, or force the use of HTTPS. Most of the programming languages provide simple and ready-to-use functions to set most of the HTTP headers.
- QWhich HTTP headers are required?A
HTTP headers may be required to address specific needs of a website owner or a web browser user. For example, some security-related headers (on the web server side), like X-XSS-Protection or even more powerful Content Security Policy (CSP), are recommended to enhance web application and web server security by mitigating some vectors of XSS and related attacks.
Contrariwise, other server-side headers, like X-Powered-By or Server may disclosure internal or sensitive information and shall be removed. When dealing with client-side headers, DNT (Do Not Track) header becomes incrementally popular. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach or solution to implement specific HTTP headers, you may test your web server's HTTP headers by free website security test powered by ImmuniWeb Community Edition for general weaknesses or misconfigurations.
- QHow to configure HTTP headers?A
Server-side HTTP headers are to be configured via a web server by going to its admin interface or updating its configuration file. Each web server provides a detailed documentation and how-to guidelines for the HTTP headers it supports. While some of the client-side HTTP headers can be configured directly by using GUI of your web browser if it supports customized HTTP headers configuration.
- QWhy WAF is required?A
Web Application Firewall (WAF) can protect your websites, web services and APIs even if they are vulnerable to SQL injection or other common types of security flaws. The attackers won't be able to exploit a vulnerability residing in the source code of your website if it is protected by a properly configured WAF, either on premise or in the cloud.
Sometimes, software developers have insufficient time to properly and timely mitigate recently detected security vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and instead of leaving your website and its users exposed to cybercriminals, they can mitigate these flaws by a WAF. Modern WAF also reduces the number of malicious bots, accelerates website speed and blocks IP addresses known to be infected by malware or participating in DDoS attacks for example. Moreover, many security standards and compliance requirements, like PCI DSS, expressly required WAF presence.
- QCan WAF prevent DDoS?A
A modern WAF can effectively prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and reduces impact of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. It is, however, virtually impossible to prevent a large-scale DDoS attack that is coming from millions, or in some cases even tens of millions, of bots simply putting the network offline with gigabytes of garbage traffic or even shutting down the entire infrastructure of ISP (Internet Service Provider) where the targeted website is located.
For simple cases and weak DDoS attacks, WAF can at least keep the website up by blocking malicious IP addresses or by limiting access to the website from certain countries, but the website will likely become slower. Special anti-DDoS service providers offer competitive solutions tailored to stop or mitigate the consequences of DDoS attacks.
- QHow WAF works?A
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a virtual layer between your website and the Internet. All website visitors are required to go through the WAF before they may access your web server and website. If a WAF detects any malicious or suspicious elements in website visitor behavior, such as known patterns of web attacks or blacklisted IPs, WAF will block these requests thereby keeping your website safe from unwelcome visitors and hackers.
- QWhat is CMS security?A
Security of a web Content Management System (CMS) usually relates to security of web software used to run a website, for example, WordPress and Drupal are both examples of a web CMS. Security of CMS is ensured by its developers that implement security controls and protection mechanisms to prevent known attacks against the CMS such as SQL injections or XSS.
Website owners shall maintain security by timely installing security patches, using unique and strong passwords, and ensuring that the website hosting is likewise secure. CMS security is also entirely dependent on the web server security, as, for instance, if FTP access or admin password to the server is compromised however good CMS security is, the website will be under immediate control of the attackers.
- QHow to test WordPress security?A
WordPress security mostly depends on whether your installation of WordPress CMS, its plugins and themes, are all up2date. To test WordPress security, make a holistic inventory of WP components and plugins and ensure they are all up2date. Then go to vulnerability databases to check whether some of the WP plugins or extensions contain known but unpatched security vulnerabilities, and if so, deactivate these components.
Consider checking for a special plugin that hardens WP security by activating supplementary controls and mechanisms unavailable by default, and restricts access to configuration files. ImmuniWeb Community edition provides a free online tool to test your WordPress security and detect all known security and privacy issues within your installation of WordPress.
- QHow to check Drupal security?A
Drupal security check starts with verification whether the Drupal CMS and all plugins used in your installation of Drupal are up2date. After, check various vulnerability databases that may contain information about known but still unpatched vulnerabilities or weaknesses exploited by the attackers in the wild. If you find such component, rapidly deactivate or disable them until vendor issues a patch.
Additionally, ensure that all privileged users have strong and unique passwords, web hosting where Drupal is running is secure, access to configuration files is restricted, and that you have a tenable mechanism to continuously install Drupal security updates. You may check security of your Drupal website by using free website security test provided by ImmuniWeb Community Edition.

Series: The Protectors #1
Genres: Paranormal

SHE FOLLOWS THE RULESAs the Collegium council's top sheriff of the southeastern United States, Valeria Banning doesn't just take her job seriously, she takes it personally. So when a notorious traitor wanted by the authorities suddenly risks his life to save hers, she has to wonder why.HE BREAKS EVERY ONE OF THEMAs a mage, Griffin is sworn to protect innocents from dark magic, which is how he finds himself fighting side by side with the beautiful Valeria Banning. But when the council finds out the two have been working together, they're both left running for their lives-from the law, the threat of a ghoul takeover, and a possible Collegium mole. Word Count: 90,000 words.
Valeria Banning is the top sheriff of the Collegium Council, a group who train mages to protect both other mages and mundanes (normal humans) from rogue mages and dark magic, for the southeastern region of the United States. Valeria takes her job very seriously, so when she wakes up from being hurt and finds herself being cared for by the very man she replaced – a mage who went rouge in the Council's very chambers, Valeria is forced to make a choice. Does she take try and take in Griffin or does she search for the answers on why a rouge mage would help the woman who replaced him and is sworn to bring him down?
Griffin Dare will admit to going after one of the Council members in their chambers and then being on the run from the Council and its top forces – well some of them anyway. However, when he came across Valeria after some ghouls had grievously harmed her, he couldn't turn his back on her and used his contacts to help her heal. Griffin knew that when she woke up it would take some fancy footwork to keep his identity hidden. Some might consider Griffin rouge, but he had reasons for what he did and he is working with an underground to find the answers on what is going on within the Council and the college.
Valeria knows there is something wrong with what she has been told about Griffin and what her eyes are telling her. The killer mage would not risk his life for mundanes or her and yet Valeria has watched Griffin do this time and again. When attacks brings even more questions to Valeria about what is going on within the Council, Valeria joins with Griffin and his underground and is amazed at just who else is part of this group. Both Valeria and Griffin know that in order to get their final answers, they will need to clear Griffin of the serious charges against him. Knowing the risks, they start the formal process when Griffin is captured by the Council and is about to be sentenced without the chance to defend himself. Valeria brings in the big guns to help prove the deceit and betrayal that has invaded the Council and the college. Mages everywhere are going to be affected by the results of this hearing for a long time. It will also determine if the love that Valeria and Griffin have will ever be given the chance to bloom.
Lies, betrayals and deceit bring two top fighters together only to discover that love can appear anywhere and at any time. Renegade has fast twists and changes that kept me on the edge from the minute I opened it up. I loved how both Valeria and Griffin didn't just believe what they had been told about the other but also paid attention to the actions the other did. While I wasn't surprised that these two strong people fell in love, I was amazed at how they could risk everything to protect the innocent and each other. I also loved how fresh this plot was with mages and ghouls and mundanes and fighting magic with magic. Renegade is a paranormal without the normal standbys to lean on and I found it to be a quick paced and action packed love story with two lead characters that I fell for over and over again. I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out and what surprises it will bring.

CNS Racing PORSCHE 928 Power Clutch Kit
- Item #: 8237543P
After years of Research and Development to engineer a stronger street friendly and race track ready PORSCHE 928 clutch, we are proud to present the best clutch package offered on the market today. Here are some of the advantages to the CNS Racing PORSCHE 928 Power Clutch Kit.
- The CNS Racing Power clutch kit uses the stock SAC-type pressure-plate and is intended for use with the OEM flywheel (not included). These kits are "amazing" per our customers that are currently using them. We have had great success with these and they are very streetable and hold big power.
- CNS Racing only offers a full face carbon semi-metallic clutch disk which has proven longevity and OEM streetability. This in turn eliminates the chance of premature failure due to clutch disk glazing which occurs in OEM and competitor kits that have an Organic disk lining.
- Identical if not better OEM pedal feel.
- Completely plug and play just like the OEM kit.
- 700+ rear wheel torque capacity. Great streetability and Racing use.
- It is a complete kit including the streetable high clamp pressure plate, full face carbon semi-metallic disc and OEM release bearing.
Why incur the cost of reinstalling poorly designed OEM and competitor clutches plus the expensive labor for installation. Save thousands of dollars with the CNS Racing PORSCHE 928 Power clutch kit by installing a clutch once! No more babying a high performance car in fear of burning the clutch. Drive your PORSCHE 928 the way it was meant to be driven.

Carnage is the word on the street when it comes to the precious metals and believe me when I feel badly for anyone left holding the back on silver and gold, especially those that bought at the extreme prices in May of 2011 for Silver and October of that year for Gold, I am filled with anger at the charlatans that continued to tell investors to keep buying any dips and called for extreme price movements because of their manipulation claims.
The reality is as plain as day in the metals markets.
Silver has been in a bear market since its crash of May of 2011. The following chart illustrates this clearly. Any bounce since that time have merely been countertrend bounces.
The same holds for gold after making an all-time top in October of 2011 it has failed to hold steady gains and has continued to be sold off.
I made a very controversial post asking my readers to take into consideration the very real fact that we might have been witnessing the start of the end of the bull markets in those precious metals. I got eaten up, spit out, chewed and called about every name you can imagine on my blog and oh the various sites that used that post. I won't even get into the emails that I received. I've kept quiet more so because life has simply gotten very hectic for me at the moment as my family deals with some tragedy and as I concentrate on my business. However, I have continued to play the markets and continued to wait for an opportunity. I didn't play this silver and gold move but I do believe there is room for lower prices despite the fact that we may see an oversold bounce in the upcoming sessions.
Anyone trying to argue that silver and gold are simply correcting need a reality check. In silver's case, corrections don't last 2 years. With the FED divided, unemployment declining and the price of the metal failing to rise to new highs despite the calls from all those charlatans that I have written about because of endless quantitative easing would send the metals to historic highs you need to really examine those people and ask yourself why they never give the other side of the picture. Folks, be very very careful in the metals markets. The charts say it all. My post of two years ago says it clearer when I asked people to take a hard look at whether or not the metals had ended their decade long bull market (in the case of gold at least).
Anyone following these markets over the last 3 years should by now know that the likes of Eric King and most of his guests are full of shit and have kept average investors in these markets far longer than they needed to be. Not once as he, or his guests given out responsible advice like it might be time to sell and sit on the sidelines. That is about as irresponsible as it comes. If you haven't learned that by now, you never will. Gold has a very real chance of falling to $1475 while silver, short term can test $26.00 again and I maintain my calls made many times on this site that state that we could very well see $22.00. Remember, the miners breaking down was the omen that foreshadowed all of this …. nothing has changed. There is value in junior stocks. I am not talking about those… I am talking about the metals. What I am angered about the most is that friends of mine continued to hold metal they bought near the highs and never once heeded my advice instead only listened to the bullshit permeating the airwaves about gold ownership. There is a piece for gold and silver in very portfolio. To stack away until your heart's content is not the way to do it. To listen to the lopsided tin foil hat bullshit spewed by GATA, Eric King, his guests, Zero Hedge and others was perhaps the most irresponsible thing any investor in metals could have done. Their story never changed. Mine hasn't either. Notwithstanding corrective bounces, my sentiment remains bearish on the metals. Yes, they will rally… be be weary of my head and shoulder pattern warning made months ago … that is, a major head and shoulders pattern foretelling a massive drop in silver comes into play if the metal takes out it's $26.15 low.
Please feel free to revisit my post made on December 13, 2011: It Might Be Time To Acknowledge That The Gold Bull Market Has Ended
