Vyralize: Error CE-34878-0 could erase your game data, render games unplayable, or destroy your PS4 entirely, and we know almost nothing about it.
there is really no reason to be worried right now about bugs breaking ps4's. why?
1. PS4's are still under warranty, so if anything does happen your covered for now
2. my recommendation for any new launch console is to go ahead and pay the extra money for additional warranty, the key to this do on the last day possible for you to purchase, i think there is time frame you can purchase it, most are within the year of manufacturer warranty. Note: the one on PSN, not in retail store, those usually start the same day of purchase.
3. It also recommended that you take advantage of backing up your save files, so if something does happen you can get your saves back.
While it sucks to have a console break on you, at least your covered so you dont have to wait and pay another $399 for one.
So something i would not really worry about right now to be honest.
Better off staying with the PS3 I think wait for the later PS4 version.
i have to disagree, software interacts with hardware clockspeeds voltage and others, in consoles as a closed system its less likly but a virus designed to spin a drive to full speed and then lower read head and keep it here cold cause severe damage to hard drives, a virus designed t alter clock speeds can cause burnout of cpus
it can be done unlikely in consoles but it is posible

There's a time and a season for everything.
It always comes to pass and not to stay.
I'm thankful for that, except when the stormy seasons come. That can consume you. Blowing you off your feet. Turning everything upside down in an instant.
Fall break was around the corner. I was ready to not have to go to school. I was tired of being a liar,when I skipped school.
Things will always catch up to you even if you think you've gotten away with it.
The school caught me skipping out one day and that next day, I was called into the office. They let me in on the fact they knew I hadn't done this just once, but 3X. The principal didn't like me as it was. He threatened to have my mom in trouble with truancy board. I begged him not to do that because she had no idea I had even skipped school once. So he decided I had to serve the last three days in alternative school in a town almost 30 minutes away. I knew that was better than my mom facing truancy board but she left for work hours before school started and could not get me there.
I had to confess to her what I had done..
I told her minor details of the skipping.
She was really mad. I promised her I would find a way to alternative school each day.
The girl who drove and skipped with me was also caught and serving the same days with me.
I did find rides. Chris and mom the one day and Chris's mom picked me up. I was embarrassed that her son's new girlfriend was in trouble and needed her to help with my consequences.
That would be one of many things she helped me with..
Alternative school was extremely quiet and boring.
They served us lunch but it was basically left over from the neighboring school and was ice cold. Gag!!
I finished all my work and had 6 hours left to sit and face a wall in a cubby hole. I decided I'd take advantage of my time and write. I always loved writing. My creative writing class was my favorite and I excelled in it. I wrote three stories and wrote to Chris as if I was in jail. Knowing I'd see him the same day... I was in love and everything was new and dramatic.😁😍
The last day of the time serving for getting caught, I would be on official fall break for two weeks. I had a hundred plans.
I decided I would help Mom out while she worked and I was home. I cleaned the house and did laundry for her. Something I should have been doing the whole time.
I cooked a few times. Chris would come over and have supper with her and I. All was going well...
One day I was sitting In the back seat of mom's 2007 suzki car ,that she loved so much.
She was driving and a family member was riding up front, beside mom.
I was lost in my thoughts and planning when my thoughts were interrupted by mom saying
" You know, I've felt a place, a lump on my breast. But I'm sure it's a cyst".
Family member says " oh. You should have that checked"
It was October and something I would later know too well, October is breast cancer awareness month.
I piped up and asked what they were talking about.
Mom said " it's nothing honey, I will make an appointment and show you it's nothing".
I thought' what's nothing'?!
Once home, mom made an appointment to have something called a mammogram later that week.
I asked her what that was and she explained.
I asked her what would a lump on her Breast even mean?
She said " well, I know it's nothing to worry with, but if something is found,they'll test it and see if it's something to be concerned about".
What would be concerning about a lump?
I was confused.
Mom was invincible to me. She would live forever.
She survived so much and nothing was going to take her from me. I decided that right then and there. Mom went to the appointment and came home. She said she would know more in a few days. I proceeded with life. I was with Chris. Some days drinking, some days pills. Other days both and few nothing. Having a blast. Making memories. I kept the house clean so mom wouldn't have to work all day then come and work in the house. She enjoyed that.
Chris would come over here and there. He worked and couldn't spend every waking moment with me. I somewhat understood that.
The week school started back, I went all but one day that week. The day I decided I was staying home was the day my life went from good to terrible. Mom had seemed down the past week. She never told me why. Or said if anything was wrong. She would randomly come to my room telling me how she loves me and believed Chris was right for me. As a moody teenager, I rolled my eyes and wouldn't give her much time.
I woke up that morning feeling like something was just wrong. I had suppressed the feeling of something happening to mom for years but that morning,those feelings came back and overwhelmed me. I felt a sense of dread. Mom usually called the house 5X throughout the day. But this day, she called me once. She said for me to be home that evening when she got home and for me to not go anywhere.
That didn't help the dreaded feeling I had. I agreed. I took a shower and started praying out loud.
I said " Lord, I don't understand why I'm feeling this way. I'm scared and have no clue why. Things are going well with Chris but I'm already falling for him. If he and I aren't meant to be, please end it now. My mom's phone call is freaking me out. Please let her be ok".
That day drug on and on. I knew what time she usually came home. So when she didn't, I panicked. I cried and started calling her. She wouldn't answer. I knew she had had an accident and wasn't coming home. I knew something bad had happened.
A family member called me and she says " have you talked to Mom"?
I said " no! And I am freaking out"!
She sounded like she was crying. I asked her to tell me what happened. She said
" Mom will be home soon to talk to you".
Well. Thank God she's alive. I thought.
Now a whole new set of fears came flooding in.
I suddenly remembered that she had went to that appointment and was awaiting the call to see if they found anything on her mammogram. I then remembered that it had been weeks since that.
I called Chris and he wasn't home. I needed him but he wasn't around. I paced the floor. It was way passed time for Mom to be home. I became frustrated. ' what the hell is going and and why hasn't anyone called me'!?
Just then, family member walked in.
Why were they here!?
Where's mom!?
After about four family members came in, in walks my mom.
I ran to her asking what's going on!?!
She told me to wait until everyone came inside...
What the hell!?
Talk about panicked.
Once everyone that was there sat down, I scanned their faces. Some were crying. Everyone somber.
Mom sat me down on the couch and grabbed my hands into hers.
Looked me right in my eyes and said" Tiffany,honey. The mammogram showed something in my left Breast and lymph nodes. I went in for a biopsy and the results came today. It's cancer, honey".
Tears in her eyes. My ears started ringing.
' what did you say Mama"!?
She said " I have breast cancer".
I literally thought I was going to pass out.
Some family were staring at me. Others were in the kitchen crying. I looked at my mom and said
" NO, the test and biopsy is wrong"!
She grabbed me as I starting crying so loudly,I couldn't hear anything else. She said
" Tiffany,baby, it's going to be ok. I am going to be ok. I am going to fight this. We are going to be okay"
I now felt like I was going to vomit. Family started talking but I heard nothing but my mom's words from a moment ago.
' I have breast cancer'
Anger set in and I yelled " why are they all here!?"
" Why didn't you call me"!?
It's a blur after that.
Everyone eventually left.
Mom was on the phone talking to other family members and repeating those horrific words all over again..
I felt like my heart had been ripped out and trampled on. My mom has cancer. She didn't smoke. Didn't use drugs. Didn't drink more than a few glasses of wine per year. Why her!?!!
She survived 52, almost 53 years of crap to now have to go through this!!?
She finally hung up the phone. Washed her face, took a breath and sat down with me again.
She smiled and said " you know, I will be ok. I have Jesus. No matter what, I have Jesus and it will be okay. "
She started explaining what type of cancer and the possible stage she was in. These were terms I'd never heard except from on TV. Because this type of nightmare doesn't happen to us, just on TV.
She told me her first oncologist appointment was the next week and she would know more and start a treatment plan. I told her " I AM going with you. I don't care about school. I'm going. Don't try and stop me"!
And I meant it .
I wasn't leaving her side. We were going to beat this monster called cancer and I would do anything to make sure she was ok.
I slept in her bed that night. Since dating Chris and being in our new home, I has slept in MY own bed
But I was sleeping by her every night.
The next while is a huge blur. Mom still went to work and was happy. Never complained..
The world was still spinning. Mine had changed and nearly stopped.
I couldn't focus. I had Chris and that was one positive thing I could cling too.
School was overwhelming even moreso. I would not be able to attend mom's appointments and they were important. I needed to know about this killer that was inside of my precious mother.
I took it upon myself to take mom's mammogram X-ray Thing to school and show my princaple. I asked him to meet with me in his office later that day. He agreed. I told him I wasn't making excuses anymore and I couldn't do this whole high school thing any longer. He looked at me with a confused smirk on his face. He said " may I ask why"?
Sure Mr.
I handed over the Manila envelope with mom's scan in it. I told him to put it up to the light.
He asked what it was. I told him my mom had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and was in the beginning stage of doctor appointments and she worked and I needed to help her. I'm all she had and I needed to be with her. School got in the way of that. I told him I wanted to drop out at age 15...... Yes. I was that bold.
Silence filled his office. He asked to meet my mom and he would then give me his decision. I told him " here's the thing. Mom isn't selfish. She will not ask for help and she sure wouldn't want me to quit school to stay home and help her and go everywhere she needs. She would be opposed to the idea and I didn't have time to argue my case. "
More silence.
He settled on calling her to verify she has cancer. Once they hung up, he took my file out, put it one paper at a time, into his shredder. He had tears in his eyes. He said " Miss Riggs, you've given me a hard time since moving here, and you've not been easy to handle. However. I'm a Christ follower and I believe you're barring your soul. Your mom does need you. This is an incredible amount of maturity and love with strength on your end. We never had this conversation. I'll be praying for you and your mom. Spend every day with her. You may leave at 2:55pm today. Records are gone"
I was crying and he left me in his office alone to compose myself.
I don't know how paperwork like that works but I know he shredded them and I've never heard a word from anyone there.
My classmates in creative writing class did write me and Mom letters but that's the last I heard. I walked out of school that day never to return. Off record with no one in trouble.
My focus was saving my mom.
I told her what Happened at school that night.
I told her there was no use in her arguing about it. It was done and I was free and would help her from then on...
She smiled and hugged me.
That next week was full of appointments and information..
This season of our life wasn't welcomed. We never asked for it. We faced it head on...
Clinging to each other and Jesus.
We sure would need Him more and more as time passed...
You don't know how strong you must be until being strong is the only option you have....
This was the beginning of many ends.
I was never the same girl. Mom was promoted to a fight for her life and I knew I was going to find a way to save her. I had too.
And I tried...

Vatican Basilica
We are in Lent, a time of spiritual preparation for the Lord's Passover. In the austere environment of this liturgical season, we celebrate the rite of Episcopal Ordination of Monsignor Paul Richard Gallagher, called by the Holy Father to form part of the College of Bishops and destined to Burundi as Apostolic Nuncio, where he is to bring forth fruits in the service of our Holy Church. In that Land he must announce the Gospel of Christ with the severe invitation that has been proclaimed today, an invitation so timely for Burundi in the present historic moment of its life. He must repeat to all: "If you do not convert, you will all perish in the same way" (Lk 13: 5).
One day, a long time ago, young Paul Richard heard the voice of the Lord calling him to follow him and he generously responded "yes", becoming a priest of the Church. Today, through me, the Lord asks him to live his ministry on a higher step of the priesthood, that of the episcopacy. The finality is the same always, that of continuing in this world the work of Christ the Good Shepherd.
I do not intend to dedicate time to explain today's rite. It is very eloquent and speaks directly to all of us. Just as the Apostles did to their first successors, I will impose my hands upon his head. So also will the Bishops here present, saying the essential words of the rite:
"So now pour out upon this chosen one that power which is from you, the governing Spirit whom you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Spirit given by him to the holy apostles, who founded the Church in every place to be your temple for the unceasing glory and praise of your name" (Ordination Prayer).
This 2,000-year-old rite is enriched by a series of symbols that underline the Bishop's mission. The Gospel will be placed on his head to show that we must all derive from it inspiration for our personal and our apostolic life. I will place a ring on the finger of the new Bishop to remind him of his duty to be faithful to the Church, the Spouse of Christ. On his head I will place the mitre, so that all may know his Episcopal dignity. Then I will place in his hands the pastoral staff, inviting him to lead with fatherly love God's holy people.
These are eloquent signs by which the liturgy brings us to understand, respect and love him who has been chosen by the Lord to be a successor of the Apostles for building up the Holy Church of God.
The new Bishop will not carry out his mission in a particular diocese as generally do residential Bishops, Coadjutor or Auxiliary Bishops. He will collaborate with the Holy Father, Pastor of the Universal Church. The pastoral mission is nevertheless the same, at the service of the spread of God's Kingdom in the world.
It is true that Bishop Paul also bears the ancient title of the Church of Hodelm in Scotland, now suppressed. This corresponds to the tradition of keeping alive the historic memory of old Christian communities; but we know that what is essential comes from the fact that the new Bishop is included in the College of Bishops, to which Christ has entrusted the mission of continuing the work of the Apostolic College until the end of time. During the time of Jesus, the Apostles were 12. Now there are more than 4,600 Bishops, of whom 2,600 are in charge of a diocese; the other 2,000 are titular Bishops or retired Bishops. It is the same fire of Pentecost which impels them to announce to today's world the Kingdom of God and to bring to the people of our time the Word and the Sacraments of salvation.
Our dear Monsignor Paul is preparing to leave for Bujumbura, capital of Burundi. The Country has suffered so much on account of the well-known events of recent years. The Church there has been lacerated by disharmony among its sons and is now working hard to promote reconciliation and forgiveness. Saint Paul said 2,000 years ago that in the Church "there is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you", concluded the Apostle, "are one in Christ Jesus" (Gal 3: 28). Today all Christians must know that there is no longer Hutu or Tutsi, no longer African or European, because we are all children of the same Father who is in Heaven.
This is precisely the directive that Pope John Paul II entrusted to the people of Burundi during the Visit he made to the Country in September 1990. On that occasion, the Holy Father said clearly to the Authorities and the people: "Strengthen your unity, not with resignation or diffidence, but root it solidly through reconciliation and forgiveness".
Aware of the seriousness of the local situation, the Pope added: "For some this may seem insurmountable because the wounds are still fresh. How can one forget? Your full reconciliation does not consist of forgetting the past. You should look at it in truth, but you must come together again and overcome together what has divided you and so construct a new unity".
These are words which still hold their full value.
Inspired by these evangelical principles, our beloved late Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Michael Courtney, worked tirelessly in Burundi. Like every Representative of the Pope, he made his contribution to the progress of the Church in the Country and to the relations with the civil Authorities so as to establish a rapport between the Church and the State for the good of the people.
As happens during the Olympic Games, now the torch passes to new hands, the hands of our dear Monsignor Paul Gallagher.
We pray for him and we will always be close to him in solidarity. The Pope is close to him, and through me he warmly gives him his Blessing. His own dear Archdiocese is close to him, worthily represented here by its Pastor, the Most Reverend Patrick Kelly, Archbishop of Liverpool.
From Heaven the Saints, whom we now invoke in their own Litany, will intercede for him.

Before I put ALL my holiday stuff away *sigh*, I thought I'd share some of the holiday cards I got from 2009 clients…
It was really cool to open up these cards to see what masterpieces you had created with the images from your shoots with me!
THANK YOU for thinking of me during the holiday season and thank you again for choosing me to be your photographer in 2009.
From the sincerest place in my heart, I wish you the best in 2010.
I have a lot of new things to introduce in 2010, so stay tuned and be prepared to be wow-ed! I can't wait to see you all again. And if I haven't worked with you yet, I hope to have the pleasure of doing so this year.
~ Annie

Droid 2 for Verizon will be launching on August 12 -- although it seems to be something of a soft launch, because marketing efforts aren't scheduled to kick in until a week and a half later on the 23rd. What's even more interesting, though, is that there'll be a Star Wars edition of the phone launching with a white R2-D2 on the back. For the record, this isn't the first time Verizon has toyed with the Droid line's Star Wars origins; Motorola actually had to license the name from Lucasfilm, and to promote the original phone, Big Red sent around remote-control Artoos last year to various media outlets. What we don't know is whether the special edition will be launching at the same time as the stock version -- so if the plain-vanilla Droid 2 comes out first, that might automatically make the decision of which to buy for some folks. What about you?
[Thanks, RBF]

50 Cent received his boxing promoter license today in Nevada. Earlier this year Curtis was granted the right to promote fights in the state of New York. ESPN has the story below.
50 Cent — Curtis Jackson is the real name of the rap star — intended to promote under the company name of TMT Promotions — The Money Team — with good pal Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, they had a falling out after Mayweather did not come up with the share of the money that Jackson said he had promised to put into the company.
So last month Jackson applied for the license under the name of his new company, SMS Promotions, and his application was approved in a 5-0 vote of the commission, as long as he provides three more pieces of information to the commission, which had already received an extensive application packet.
Jackson and attorney Leon Margules, who were at the meeting, promised to provide the commission with what it still wanted within a week — two years' worth of Jackson's income tax returns, a financial statement listing the fighters SMS has under contract and a letter stating that the assets that had been in TMT's name are now in SMS's name.
For the right kind of money 50 Cent would even get in the ring with Floyd Mayweather. I know I'd watch that on PPV.

Last week, I put together an index of all the fic I've written in the two years I've been on LJ. Today I did a bit of poking around with the numbers.
Apparently I've written 55 drabbles, 12 ficlets (under 500 words), 19 stand-alone fics and 6 multi-chapter fics with 24 chapters between them, for a total of 110 individual items of fiction. That comes to a grand total of 90,662 words... which on the one hand sounds like an awful lot; but on the other, NaNoWriMo participants are expected to write 50,000 words in a single month, and I only managed 90,000 in two whole years... Now I've depressed myself. :-)
Other fun facts about me (Excluding drabbles, and counting chapters as individual fics):
- My longest fic is still Hiywan's Story at 14,877 words, despite it being unfinished.
- The longest completed fic is We Just Declared War at 12,562 words.
- 6,000 words seems to be about the longest fic I can write in a single burst of inspiration.
- My average fic is 1,548 words long.
- I've written six fics with explicit sex scenes. That's 11%. So far, none of the sex scenes have involved men.
- The people who've got lucky in my fics have been Willow, Kennedy, Tara, Buffy, Dawn, Faith and Saga Vasuki.
- 13 of my fics involve the death of a human. Featured characters I've killed off include Faith, Kennedy, Buffy and Willow. Five fics involved the dead character's experiences in the afterlife.
- Only 1 of my fics (plus one drabble) involves the conception and birth of a human. This is possibly out of balance. :-)
- Out of 55 fics, 44 were set in the Buffyverse, 2 in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and 9 were crossovers of the Buffyverse and something else. I've written a couple of drabbles for 'Firefly' but no longer fics.
- In my crossovers, Buffy has met Cameron (from T:SCC) and Ripley and the Colonial Marines (from 'Aliens'). Angel has met F'lar and Lessa (from the Dragonriders of Pern series) and Elric of Melniboné. Buffy has also encountered Odin and Faith has met St Peter, but I'm not counting those as crossovers.
- Buffy herself has featured in 25 of the 53 fics I've written set in the Buffyverse. Willow appears in 23. All the other characters appear much less often: Kennedy has been in 8 of my stories, Faith in 6 (and Hiywan also in 6), Xander in 5, Tara, Dawn, Satsu and Angel in 3 each. Spike only appears in one story so far, although not because I'm deliberately avoiding him, I promise...
- Among the more unusual pairings in my stories have been Willow/Giant!Dawn, Buffy/Buffy and Kennedy/Tara.
- 10 of my fics are set before the TV series began, 12 during its continuity, and 31 are set after it. 8 of the latter are explicitly set in Season 8 or 'After The Fall', and 4 in the remote future well after the series ends. The other 19 are in a more vague "post-Chosen" time period, although once Season 8 was published I made them conform to canon wherever possible.

Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is the favourite to replace Antonio Conte, according to the Express.
It seems absurd to even suggest that Conte could be on his way out, having convincingly won the Premier League title just five months ago. However, ever since the Blues lifted the trophy, there has been a grey cloud hovering over the club, and the Express believe that it could force Conte out the exit door.
Ancelotti's time in SW6 was staggering similar to Conte's. He smashed records in winning the title in his debut season, but fell short the next time around and felt the full wrath of the unforgiving Roman Abramovich.
The Express claim that he could now be given a second shot at success at Chelsea. They note that betting firm William Hill has him now as the favourite to replace Conte, with ex-Borussia Dortmund chief Thomas Tuchel the second favourite.
Best case scenario, Conte stays, but if he does depart, there's few better options to replace him that King Carlo.

A Word from the VC
Adventist University of Africa (AUA) is dedicated to its mission of developing and shaping leaders for Africa and beyond. Responsible and ethical leadership is one of the most critical factors for the transformation of Africa.
We, therefore, aspire to be the gateway for Africa's leadership development, fostering the highest standards of postgraduate education and advancing knowledge and professional skills in a "wholistic" context.
In achieving this, we pride ourselves in offering value-based education. An education of this kind imparts far more than academic knowledge. It fosters a balanced development of the whole person—spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social-emotional—a process that spans a lifetime.
Our challenge for the future is to build on this strong base to establish ourselves firmly among the world's leading universities.
We welcome students, staff members, and other stakeholders to join us in building the human resource for the entire Africa.
I appreciate your interest in AUA. I welcome and encourage you to surf our site for valuable information on our programs and other activities. Thank you!

Acrylic paint, acrylic Portrait, Children, Grand children, grandson, hands, Humor, life, love, painting, Portrait, tree colors
After painting the Super Boy painting of my grandson I decided to paint a more realistic painting of him. I had a hard time with this because I was trying to work with photos I already had. This guy is a goof ball and makes all kinds of funny faces in almost all of his photos (Don't know where he might get that! LOL) Anyway to find a good picture of his just smiling, I ended up finding a picture taken in full sun. His eyes were totally shaded out by the shadow of the brim, but after a little photo editing magic I was able to make out his features. I sure love this guy! I stuck to primary colors as those are his favorites and then also it would group well with the super boy painting. This young man is growing up so fast!"Josh" 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas

Rig counts, rig productivity, and WTI price normalized to January 2011. This graph shows the lagged relationship and responsiveness of the rig count and WTI price. However, more importantly, the productivity per rig is four times its level in January 2014, thereby making tight oil production less sensitive to decreases in rig counts. This helps explain the resilience of US oil production. The productivity is an average of all shale plays, not just the most productive oil plays.

The Imbiber's Report
Our Bi-Weekly Newsletter with Product Reviews and Much More!
April 30, 2016
Last week we spotted the first greens of spring at the Cheese Boutique in Toronto. Small but tasty wild leeks or ramps were delicately displayed in a copper 'bird bath' in the centre of the produce section (yes they sell much more than cheese) as a beacon of spring. We then spotted some fiddleheads at two local green grocers as well as a number of Spruce bud photos and recipes on Instagram and Twitter. Rhubarb will soon be here as will the first crop of asparagus. Keep your eye out this weekend at your local farmer's market or green grocer.
Remember to stock up on Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava for Mother's Day. It will match anything you serve for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.
We have two fantastic red wines in this Vintages release. Both are benchmark wines for their region and exemplify their respective terroir. We have a full menu of news, reviews and much, much more in this edition of The Imbiber's Report, including some terrific promotions available now at the LCBO.
Here's a quick note about our annual portfolio tasting since many subscribers have asked about it. No, you haven't missed anything. Although we normally host it in May, the Ed Mirvish Theatre, our venue for the last four years, will be undergoing extensive renovations in the next 6 or more weeks before Matilda The Musical opens. Finding another suitable venue has been problematic and if we can't find one soon for early June, we will move it to early fall. Watch this space for further details.
Hopefully, you picked up a few bottles of The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne featured in the last report, and have some chilling in your fridge right now. Grab a glass…
VINTAGES RELEASE, April 30, 2016
Flagship Store Exclusive…
De Grendel Wines Shiraz 2013
Cape Town, South Africa
174557 $24.95
55 (12 pack) cases available
You should buy this wine if for no other reason than to see if it lives up to this review!
92 Points - Michael Godel, WineAlign.com
"Strapping, youthful, dark as night Cape of Good Hope Shiraz, full of rich beginnings, soil reduction and barrel imaging. Vivid off the charts, rich red fruit, mineral undercurrent, wreaths of floral tethering and a rip tide riding rolling waves of Cape intensity. Quite wow. Crazy good value".
89 Points - Christian Eedes, winemag.co.za
"It's a combination of pretty much equal parts Durbanville, Paarl and Stellenbosch grapes and it spent 12 months in 80% French and 20% American oak, about 25% new. It shows red and black fruit, some not unpleasant reduction and stacks of herbal notes - rosemary in particular. The palate is fairly bursting with fruit and has a nice freshness about it while the tannins are soft but not slippery making it very approachable".
Winemaker's Notes: "On the nose there are floral notes along with hints of coriander, lavender and white pepper. These notes translate on the palate and finish with a beautiful clove flavour. It is a full-bodied wine that is well supported by oak undertones and sweet ripe tannins".
From DeGrendel's website:
"Sir David Graaff first planted vines on De Grendel in 1999, almost 200 years after the last vines were destroyed. Since then De Grendel has become synonymous with exquisite wines, borne of the Graaff's love of the soil and scientific approach to winemaking. De Grendel, meaning latch or lock in Dutch, is one of Cape Town's oldest farms, stretching out over almost 330 hectares on the fynbos-covered slopes of Tygerberg Hill.
The breathtaking view of Table Mountain from the farm, 350 meters above sea level, is arguably the best in the Cape winelands. On a clear day, you can see all the way from Table Bay to False Bay, and sometimes even on to Cape Point.
First awarded to the Danish settler Claas Mayboom by Governor van der Stel all the way back in 1720, De Grendel van de Tijgerberg was bought by the iconic South African businessman and politician Sir David De Villiers Graaff in 1890 to be used as a breeding and resting ground for the prized purebred Arab horses that he bought while travelling in Argentina".
As you can imagine, we see a lot of winery websites. Occasionally, we come across one that needs to be shared, and DeGrendel's is one such website. We could try to explain the view from the farm, which overlooks Table Mountain and Capetown, but it's better if you see it for yourself (please come back after you've finished your tour) http://degrendel.co.za/
Finally, these food suggestions are from DeGrendel's technical sheet on the 2013 Shiraz.
Very versatile – from steaks, roasts and lamb shank to Springbok and sausage. Loves tomato-based sauces.
Wente Vineyards
Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Livermore Valley – San Francisco Bay, California
963397 $24.95
448 (12 pack) cases available
94 Points - Kyle Swartz, Beverage Dynamics
"Aged 20 months in new French and neutral American and Eastern European oak barrels. Floral aromas with hints of tobacco, followed by flavors of ripe black cherry and dark plum with undertones of leather, coffee and spice".
92 Points – Anthony Dias Blue, Tasting Panel Magazine
"Dark ruby colour; lush, spicy and rich blackberry, plumb and chocolate; smooth, dense and lush with depth and a long, intense finish".
91 Points - Gord Stimmell, Toronto Star
Silver, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
Winemaker's Notes: "Our Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon has a great expression of Livermore Valley, with fruit sourced from our diverse soils such as our clay hillside vineyards and those planted on gravelly alluvial fans. These provide us with a Cabernet with bold tannins and ripe fruit characteristics, which coupled with the natural acidity from the long growing season, creates a beautiful wine" - Karl D. Wente, Fifth Generation Winemaker
From Wente's Website: "For five generations, our family has been dedicated to the art of winemaking and to the philosophy that the quality of a wine originates in the vineyard. Our Estate Grown Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon is named after one of the Livermore Valley's most prominent pioneers, California's first agricultural commissioner renowned for planting vine cuttings from many of Bordeaux's top Châteaux in the temperate Livermore Valley in the 1880s. The descendants of vines Wetmore brought from France thrive today in the gravelly loam soils of our certified sustainable estate vineyards between the Arroyo del Valle and the Arroyo Mocho, streams flowing from the southern hills of the Livermore Valley. From their origins in Margaux in the 19th century to the present, only the best of these Cabernet Sauvignon vines have been selected for each new generation planted. They are prized for making wines with intensity, depth of flavour, and a rich, lush body".
We poured the Wetmore Cab at the recent California Wine Fair in Toronto to great acclaim. In a room full of fantastic wine, especially Cabernet Sauvignon, the Charles Wetmore was a standout for quality and value. People were sending their friends to the Wente table with instructions – "I was told by my Wine Guru friend that I had to try your $25 Cab – he said it's the best in the room for the money". We also poured it for Brad Barker for an upcoming episode of Notes on JazzFM.91.1, who absolutely loved it. We've tasted this wine half a dozen times recently and words 'dense and intense' are repeated and repeated.
Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon would be a fantastic match with any grilled red meat, duck, game or a charcuterie plate with paté, cured meat and moderately flavourful cheese.
90 Points – Jane Staples, nataliemaclean.com
Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery
Fancy Farm Girl Frivolous White 2014
VQA Niagara Peninsula
394072 $14.95
"Refreshing green apple, peach, citrus and minerality on the nose, repeated delightfully on the palate. Crisp and dry with a long citrus finish. A happy wine discovery that I will definitely buy again!"
88 Points, Top Value Wine at the LCBO, Steve Thurlow, WineAlign.com
Marqués de Riscal 2014,
Rueda, Spain
36822 $12.70
"This is a pure fresh crisp white with an aromatic nose of grapefruit, passion fruit, white pepper with some honey notes. Since it is lively and juicy with very good length and is so refreshing, it is a great selection for seafood and mildly flavoured white meats".
This past weekend, we paid a 'social visit' to Sue-Ann Staff to see what she has available at the winery (that is not available at the LCBO), like Fancy Farm Girl Flirty Pink Bubbly and the brilliant Robert's Block Riesling (92 Points – Natalie MacLean). Sue-Ann's wines shop is located in the kitchen of her family's original farmhouse, where she lives and works. If you want to visit her this spring or summer, the wine shop is open April and May from 11am to 5pm daily and June through October from 11am to 6pm daily. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed - you might even be introduced to other family members, like Sue-Ann's Mom, Wendy. The large, friendly Bernese mountain dog, who guards the house is named Brix. He could be the biggest suck on the Niagara Peninsula and loves to have his tummy rubbed.

Churchill Cellars is on the air with Humble and Fred!
The April 20 edition of #wineforbreakfast with the boyz was a relatively tame affair. We chatted about shoes without laces, the joys of driving manual transmission and about renting and driving cars in far-away lands. We tasted a couple of California Cabs – one from Grove Street Winery and one from the good folks at Michael David Winery in Lodi called Freakshow (the same people who make 7 Deadly Zins). Listen to the podcast here, we are on at the 1:02:45 mark.
You can listen to Humble & Fred on SiriusXM on Canada Laughs, Channel 168 from 7:00 to 9:00 am and 10:00 am to noon every weekday. You may listen to the podcast anytime you please.

"Notes" on Jazz.FM91 with Brad Barker
We dropped by the station on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 20 for the latest Notes episode and tasted through some really great wines. We began with d'Arenberg Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne, which Brad took a shining to, followed by Ricasoli's Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico and Miamup Cabernet Sauvignon (which were stellar with roasted sausage and grilled red pepper). We ended the tasting with Michael David's The Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon. We finished up with a word about the roasted veggie and sausage recipe, which is a super easy Italian comfort food dish. Listen to JazzFM at 91.1 on your FM Dial. Listen to the Notes podcast here.

Series: Bodyguard #3
Published by Forever on February 28th 2017

Blonde. Beautiful. Talented.
Alexa Fairfax is practically Hollywood royalty. But growing up in a family of legendary movie stars also puts her in the spotlight for danger. And after she discovers a plot more deadly than any movie script, Alexa desperately needs a bodyguard. A man like Zack De Luca. A true friend with a good heart, a protective nature-and the hard, chiseled muscles to back it up.
Zack has always been wildly attracted to Alexa. But since he's training day and night to be an MMA fighter, he's afraid his gorgeous friend will only distract him from his goal. Indescribably sweet and irresistibly sexy, Alexa needs Zack to pretend to be her boyfriend after her life is threatened. Now this fighter-in-training will have to fight his own intense feelings - to keep their little charade from turning into a major disaster . . .
It's my first read by Tara Wyatt and I've going to sheepishly admit that the whole bodyguard gig thing is one of my guiltiest not-quite-secrets. 'Chain Reaction' is a sweeter read than I expected and from the onset, I'm going to say it isn't a bad read. More focused on the romance than suspense, it's got so much of the sheen of the famous Bodyguard movie, but there aren't any complaints from me here.
My mixed feelings probably stem from the characterisation which felt at times, a bit clichéd for this genre, especially in the beginning chapters.
Alexa's evil parents are just that: evil, manipulative and hell-bent on Hollywood domination with some kind of mafia backing, while the sweet, innocent daughter is made to follow in the family's supposed thespian interests. I expected a more kickass heroine, but got one who puts herself down too much, is considered way 'too sweet', good and naive for these bad things to happen to her. That she doesn't like sex—because of the abuse she's suffered in the past—until Zack shows her what it really means simply made her out to be too much of a stereotype rather than a multifaceted character. Admittedly, it's easy to empathise with her insecurities but too many shades of the fanfic Mary-sue simply loom large in Alexa Fairfax, whose 'stronger', sensual side needed to be coaxed out by Zack. He in turn, is protective but feels he's way out of her league as he nurses that growing crush he has on her. The denial is mutual, but when Zack becomes Alexa's pretend boyfriend, the chemistry explodes…well, at least after several deliberate cock-blocking scenes.
There isn't any wavering on both sides however; Alexa/Zack remain fully committed to each other when they both finally give into their feelings and it's a refreshing change from the usual pushing-away technique that a main character does to the other in too many books. I liked that no one had to do grand grovelling gestures or affect a huge lifestyle change in sacrifice, but that both their paths took different turns together somehow. The action and the climax are predictable (it's pretty much how I think a Hollywood-produced romantic suspense movie would play out), but the HEA is solid and guaranteed, reinforced with tears, cheese and a proposal.

A Day in the Life of Flight Deck Crew
What happens from arrival at the airport to when the passengers disembark the aircraft. A full day as a pilot described.
We would usually arrive in the crew room approximately one hour before departure. Here we will meet the other crew members and download the flight plans, weather and notices to airman (NOTAMS) for the routes we'll be flying today. As a crew, we would evaluate if the weather was suitable at our departure and destination airports, whilst also looking at airports around our destination incase we needed to divert the flight. Weather conditions that would get our attention are strong winds, low cloud, fog or thunderstorms. We would then decide on a fuel figure and pass this onto our dispatch team.
There is a common misconception with regards to who does what on the flight deck. There is a Captain and a First Officer (sometimes referred to as a Second Officer depending on experience) which are often referred to as the Pilot and Co-Pilot. Whilst the Captain has overall responsibility for the decisions and ultimately the passengers and aircraft, most duties are split evenly – the co-pilot does just as much flying as the pilot! In the briefing room, we would usually decide who is going to fly each flight. For example if you were scheduled to fly 4 flights that day, the Captain my choose to fly the first and last flight, whilst the First Officer was the pilot flying for the middle two.
The pilots and cabin crew will then head to the aircraft, with the aim to be onboard about 35 minutes before the departure time. One pilot will do the "walk around" to check the outside of the aircraft, whilst the other crew member starts to ready the flight deck for departure. This includes running system checks, setting up the routing to our destination and checking the take-off performance. The take-off performance varies on a daily basis – we need to calculate what speed we need to lift off at, which depends on runway length, aircraft weight, temperature and pressure.
The Captain will also check the aircraft's technical log to ensure the aircraft is fully serviceable, or identify any defects. A defect doesn't necessarily mean you can't depart – it depends on how critical that system is and what redundancy is in place. There are complex documents which provide us with some guidance as to what we can and can't fly without. For example, if a windscreen wiper wasn't working, we could still depart, but couldn't land in thick fog.
As the passengers are boarding the crew will usually be briefing the departure. This covers the initial taxi and departure routing, potential threats or errors that could occur (for example heavy rain showers that may be present on the climb out), high terrain, as well as looking at contingency plans should an emergency situation occur.
Once all the passengers and their bags are onboard and the correct fuel is in the tanks, the dispatcher will give us the final paperwork confirming how many people are onboard and the final weight of the aircraft for take-off. The main doors will be closed and the crew will request to push back and start the engines with air traffic control.
Taxiing the aircraft is one of the critical phases of flight and therefore both crew members will be concentrating on maintaining the correct taxi routing whilst looking out for other aircraft and ground traffic. Airports can be extremely busy which is why it is so important to keep a good look out. Before getting airborne, the crew will run a number of checklists to ensure the aircraft is correctly configured and setup for departure.
Once lined up on the runway, and cleared to take-off by air traffic control, the pilot flying for that sector advances the thrust leavers and sets take-off thrust. As the aircraft accelerates down the runway, one pilot is checking the aircrafts speed and whilst ensuring that any failure of the aircrafts systems are quickly identified and communicated. The other pilot is steering the aircraft with their feet to keep the plane in the middle of the runway.
At the correct calculated speed, the pilot flying pulls back on the control column to "rotate" the aircraft and allowing it to climb away. The landing gear is raised once airborne, and the autopilot is normally engaged at around 1000ft. Even when the autopilot goes in, the pilots workload at this stage of flight is still quite intense. The crew are managing the aircrafts configuration, speed, altitude and heading through manipulating the autopilot whilst communicating with air traffic control.
The pilots may choose to continue manually flying the aircraft until a higher altitude in order to maintain their hands on flying skill levels. This is usually discussed before departure taking into account a number of factors such as weather conditions and how busy the airspace is likely to be.
Once the flaps are up, the crew complete the after takeoff checklist and continue climbing the aircraft to it's cruise altitude. Flaps are the devices on the wings which are extended for take-off and landing in order to allow the aircraft to fly at low speeds.
Having had approximately one and a half hours of a very intense workload, the pace and intensity of the operation starts to reduce. Once established in the climb and throughout the cruise, the pilots are monitoring the aircrafts systems, navigating the aircraft, communicating with air traffic control, carrying out fuel checks, and getting the weather for airports along the flight path and destination incase an en-route diversion is required. In the cruise, we'd normally get the chance to have a meal and a cup of coffee and a chat with our colleagues, depending on how long the flight is.
Most airline's have what is referred to as a "sterile flight deck". This means the crew should not talk about anything that is not related to the operation of the aircraft below around 20,000ft as 100% of their focus should be on the aircraft.

Taiwan Small Cell Industry Reviewed by MIC in New Cutting-edge Study Published at MarketPublishers.com
12 Feb 2016 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – In the telecommunications world, a femtocell is a small, low-power mobile base station that is typically designed for interior use in a small business or home. The advantages of femtocells comprise the enhanced mobile signal coverage and voice quality. Femtocells are able to support 2G/3G/4G signals either simultaneously or separately. When connecting to broadband devices like DSL, femtocells are capable of redirecting mobile data stream back to a telecom carrier's network. Femtocells usually support 4 to 8 active mobile phones in residential surroundings and 8 to 16 active mobile phones in an enterprise environment. The transmission power of femtocells is small with 20mW maximum power, covering a radius of 5 to 20 meters.
In volume terms, the small cell shipments reached 5.2 million units globally in 2015, up 16% YoY, owing to top telecom carriers' ongoing investments. The demand for small cells is poised to keep on growing throughout 2016 as leading wireless providers have acknowledged the significance of small cells in network densification, LTE-Advanced standards specifications (or LTE-Advanced Pro), or even 5G. Taiwan's small cell shipments are forecast to amount to around 1.4 million units in H1 2016, roughly staying flat as against the same period of the previous year.
New cutting-edge research report "The Taiwanese Small Cell Industry, 4Q 2015" elaborated by Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) provides in-depth coverage of the Taiwanese small cell industry and market over the last quarter of 2015. The research study offers detailed forecasts of small cell shipments in terms of volume and value. The report also covers ASP, shipment volume break-ups by technology, price points, business and customer types, and production facilities. It gives comprehensive insights into the development trends of the leading telecommunications operators involved in the small cell industry, along with providing an outlook for the industry for 1H 2016. The content of the report is based on primary data drawn through interviews with domestic small cell manufacturers who run factories either in Taiwan or mainland China.
Historical data are provided for the period 3Q 2013 – 3Q 2015, and forecasts are given up to 3Q 2016.
Companies mentioned include: Verizon, Airvana, Alcatel-Lucent, ip.access, AT&T, Nokia Networks, China Mobile, WNC, Cisco, Askey, Commscope, Ericsson, Gemtek, Google, Foxconn, Huawei, Mitrastar, Qualcomm, Sercomm, Sprint, Tecom, TE Connectivity, Vodafone, and T-Mobile.

Please note that the old API which ran on mobile.linnworks.com is no longer supported.
There are two ways you can use handheld barcode scanners with Linnworks:
- a simple input device
- a scanner with an application which uses API
Simple input device - any barcode scanner can do this job, from a simple USB scanner with no settings or screen, to very sophisticated and expensive wireless scanners. This method allows the scanner to work like a keyboard or a mouse: when you scan the barcode, it is transformed into text and inserted at your cursor's position. You can test it by opening a text document (notepad) on your computer and then scanning any barcode - the barcode will be inserted into the document as text/numbers. In Linnworks, it works the same way: you click the field where you want the barcode to be inserted, and scan the barcode.
In order to start using this method, you just need to connect the scanner to your computer, have it install the necessary drivers so the computer would recognize it as an input method, and you are ready to start scanning. This method can speed up order processing and help avoid mistakes with shipping incorrect items with the use of despatch console, as well as assist with booking stock in.
Application via API - in this case, the scanner runs a special application which can do a lot more than just transforming barcodes into text. The application is authorized with Linnworks as a user (it doesn't count towards your user limit), and has access to certain system functionality, typically - stock in, stock count, purchase order management. Such scanners with applications do not need to be connected to your computer directly, because they interact with the system via Linnworks API.
These applications generally run on phones, tablets, and scan guns with an operating system and a screen, and need to be installed via either AppStore or Google Play Market. For more information on such applications and installing them, please refer to the Application Store in Linnworks.net. Several applications by our partners include: StockWise, Warehouse Plus App, and Warehouse Dispatcher.

We report refrigeration and heating of nanoliter fluid volumes with micro-Peltier junctions. The temperature of small liquid reservoirs can be rapidly changed and controlled within a range between -3 degrees C to over 120 degrees C with good long-term stability. These thermal management systems enable the fabrication of complex chip-based chemical and biochemical reaction systems in which the temperature of many processes can be controlled independently.

The morning I wrote Nothing Else with two other friends was a defining, about-face moment for my life.
The season leading up to that moment was full of frustration from unmet expectations and disappointments. And as I was wrestling through that, I realized my heart's posture had become completely focused on what I could get from God.
The truth is, when we only focus on what we can get from God's hand instead of just being in relationship with Him and enjoying the blessings of His presence, we miss out on so much.
Yet here's what's so amazing about God; it's not His anger that leads us to realize where we're wrong. Scripture shows us it's His kindness that leads us to repentance. And that's exactly what happened to me.
I never felt a reprimand. I didn't feel condemned. I felt a sweet conviction of the Holy Spirit as He said to me, "Aren't you tired of getting caught up in what you're getting and what you're not? That's not going to fulfill you, but you can be satisfied with Me and therefore thankful for all the blessings you already have."
When He spoke that word to me and I received it, the posture of my heart completely shifted. I experienced the joy and freedom of repentance. I realized that repentance is sometimes wrongly considered in a negative context (at least it was for me), and I learned it's one of the greatest gifts God gives us.
Put simply, repentance is making a 180-degree turn, and I love how Romans 2:4 (TPT) describes it in the context of our relationship with God…
"Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you take him for granted and despise him? Haven't you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don't mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you in repentance?"
When I started resting in God's presence, not focusing only on what I could get from Him, but actually what I could give to Him and thanking Him for what He had already given me, it set me free and opened my eyes to see how I can bless His heart through my worship.
Now that I'm putting Matthew 6:30-33 (MSG) to practice in my life, I find my heart fully at rest.
"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met."
As Revelation 2:4 puts it, I went back to my "first love," of wanting God and nothing else. And it's my prayer that as you listen to this song, you would experience the joy and freedom repentance brings as you encounter the loving-kindness of God, blessing His heart through your worship and your praise each day.

it has I2C
if there is enough online info/tutorials then maybe it's worth buying.
Is the end near for Arduino?
Model B owners using networking and high-current USB peripherals will require a supply which can source 700mA (many phone chargers meet this requirement). Model A owners with powered USB devices will be able to get away with a much lower current capacity (300mA feels like a reasonable safety margin).
that the RPi will draw 700mA. That can't be right can it?
I think that running a OS on a system is the long term solution.
it can go up to 750mA
QuoteI think that running a OS on a system is the long term solution. No it is not.
That is why it will not kill the arduino
But even in this future I think there is a place for Arduino (or PIC boards in general) probably smaller but still there.
When microsoft started with their windows CE I thought it wouldn't last. It is one of those rare occasions in life where I was wrong smiley-cool.
It was reported that Bill Gates said that the Apple business model only worked if you had Steve Jobs.
Apparently a big announcement is coming "after Easter" according to the Arduino team on twitter.
