Apple Inc Releases iOS 8.1.2 Update For iPhone, iPad To Fix Bugs And Disappearing Ringtones
SHAFAQNA – Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has released yet another update for its iOS firmware, taking the version to iOS 8.1.2. The latest software update follows a series of frequent updates that the company has released since the public launch of the iOS 8, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus.
We decided to take the latest update for a spin and see if it resolves any bugs for us.
The update does not feature any major visual changes or added features. According to the official change log, iOS 8.1.2 instead features a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements.
The change log also mentions a specific bug that had been plaguing users since the release of iOS 8.1.1, where any ringtone bought from iTunes had been deleted off users' iPhones.
The new iOS 8.1.2 update also breaks the TaiG jailbreak even though the team behind the jailbreak exploits claims to have a crack for the latest firmware as well.
Any users, therefore, looking to preserve their jailbreak should refrain from updating their device or they could lose their jailbreak and all associated data.
When Apple released iOS 8.1.1 to the public just three weeks ago, the update included a fix that broke the Pangu 8 jailbreak exploit.
The new firmware is also expected to improve Wi-Fi connectivity for users of older devices such as the iPhone 5, who had been experiencing inconsistent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
The update is also expected to include performance improvements for users of the iPhone 4S as well as the iPad 2.
Page 2 of 2
Apple has been very busy in updating both iOS and Mac OS X lately, as it continues to make its software infrastructure more closely knit with a focus on integration between different Apple devices.
The company recently began rolling out iOS 8.2 beta 2 to developers as it looks to integrate its mobile operating system with the upcoming Apple Watch. iOS 8.2, which is likely to be the next iOS update to be rolled out to the public, is expected to be a more significant update that may introduce new features and functionality in addition to further bug fixes.
In addition to iOS for iPhones and iPads, the company also just began seeding the third beta for OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 to developers.
You can update your iPhone to iOS 8.1.2 right now directly from your device, using the Over The Air update option. Simply navigate to the Settings app on your iPhone and navigate to "Software Update" in the "General" section.
Another way to update your device is to connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable and get the update via iTunes.
Make sure to back up your device via iCloud or on your computer through iTunes before you update your device, in case of any unforeseen errors during the process.
We will be updating this space with more news on the latest updates from Apple as they are released.

So i mentioned the brit back in the beginning.
He was the out of town gentleman i was clicking with before i fell down a flight of stairs. So anyways.. i thought i would update that story... You would think that would be the end of it. He would go back to England and i would go back to my life. But this is my life.. so of course it can't be predictable.
We have entered into this weird online relationship where we talk frequently and flirt (thorugh emails?) and there are talks of visits. He wants to fly over there, and he has started talking about coming to see me within a coupe months. Is this normal?! Has anyone ever done this before? How does this work? Basically i need help!

SAN FRANCISCO - It has been four years since Apple Inc introduced a completely new gadget and the pressure is on for the world's largest tech company to wow at its "special event" in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday.
Apple has fed the high expectations, with promises by executives that the company's best product pipeline in 25 years is being readied inside its secretive facilities. That's a high bar for a company whose hits include the modern, graphic-based personal computer, the smartphone, the iPod and the tablet PC.
Those now ubiquitous gadgets were created under the innovative and famously meticulous eye of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died in 2011. When Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook takes the stage on Tuesday, technology aficionados, investors and rivals will be watching closely to see whether Jobs' handpicked successor inherited the magic touch or whether Apple's winning streak is coming to an end.
"We think Apple's pipeline is finally going to satisfy those who have wondered if the company has any new products. The stock price has been rallying as investors are beginning to believe that Tim Cook all along was telling the truth that there is an incredible pipeline of products," said Michael Yoshikami, CEO of Destination Wealth Management.
In the last five years, the period beginning July 1 has been the most fruitful for holders of Apple shares, with an average price gain of about 22.5 per cent, compared with 11 per cent gains seen in the first half of the last five years.
Below are some of the key products and features to look out for at Apple's big event on Tuesday:
iWatch?: Rumours of an Apple smartwatch go back several years, but Tuesday may finally be showtime. The watch, which will reportedly have a flexible screen and come in two sizes, will track its wearer's health and fitness, double as an electronic wallet and of course, display messages.
The watch is not likely to go on sale until sometime in 2015 and Apple may not even reveal its price on Tuesday. But with rivals such as Google Inc and Samsung Electronics Co already entering the smartwatch market, tech-watchers are anxious for Apple to show its cards. "The market has been waiting for Apple's product as the real category-defining product," said FBN Securities analyst Shebly Seyfari.

Oncology nurses will provide individualized physical recommendations for physical activity to 100,000 or more patients receiving any treatment modality—chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy—for cancer in 2016.
Why Is Physical Activity Important for Patients With Cancer?
- Helping to manage anxiety and depression
- Improving sleep quality
- Managing lymphedema
- Maintaining bone and muscle strength
- Decreasing recurrence.

New 5771 Geula Predictions - Part 2
See Part 1 here. See also Parsha blog's rebuttal and Rabbi Katz's defense of his position from others.
Rabbi Katz has another Shiur on how the year 5771 is what was meant by Rashi in Daniel.
He again goes into the Rashi in Daniel 7:25, but this time, he also uses the Rashi in Daniel 8:14 to bolster his position.
Within the Shiur, he vigorously defends the idea of taking the words of the Rishonim not at face value and calls it "חשמל" - silent speech. At the end of the Shiur, he says that whenever the year "becomes holy", you can expect to find the "Peshuto" of Rashi.
In my learning experience, I had never learned Rishonim the way Rabbi Katz is learning them. Nor do I think he has a Kabbala for any of the Hiddushim he says. That said, I do applaud his efforts in this, and hope that his Heshbon is correct.
I happen to like 5771 for other reasons.
May the Geula truly come this year.

MacGamez.com is back!
Weive added to our old staff, updated the siteis look, and shifted our aim. From now on, our goal will be dishing out informative, hands-on reviews and features to the burgeoning Mac gaming industry and displaying Portal links to partnership gaming site. We want to post well written pieces that look at Mac gaming in bold and fun ways.
As part of our mission statement, weive decided to virtually eliminate traditional news coverage from this site. With the vast multitude of Mac news sites around the world, only a few rise to the top as worthy of attention, and we realize that we do not have the resources to give our readers the coverage that other, more established sites already provide.
Whatis unique about MacGamez.com? Our writers are thoughtful and clear as essayists; perceptive and pointed as critics. Our writers are everyday Mac gamers, and they are intent on keeping the thrill of gaming alive in each and every review, interview and special feature. We employ columnists rarely seen in Mac publications such as Mac gaming ex-devotees, Apple [Retail] Store employees as well as the traditional reviewers and columnists. Weill serve reviews that are in-depth and fair, not veiled advertorials. Weill bring you interviews from the people behind the products-interviews that give you a look at how the industry works, and how the people behind it feel keep everything moving. And of course, weill continue to post the best interest-specific column series on the Internet: the Mac Traitor, Inside Apple-and more soon to come.
What is our goal? We want MacGamez.com to be the first place you point your browser when a new game ships and you want to read a review. We want you to be a part of this site, and to talk to us. Tell us when weire right or wrong, and feel free to let loose. We want you to tell us with gusto that our columnists are spot on, or dead wrong, or missed the point. We want you to read an interview and say, "Gee, I never thought of that." We want you to care about what we post, because weire having fun with our Macs. We want you to be too.
You can find more information at the new MacGamez Web site.

Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison will release his debut solo album under the Owl John moniker this week. Uptempo single "Red Hand" is a fine example of Hutchison's signature style, delivering memorable turns of phrase in his rich, weathered brogue against charging pop-rock driven by organ and guitar. The song now has an unnerving video in which a woman seems to be bathing in blood. It's slightly NSFW due to side boob. Watch it below.
Owl John is out tomorrow, 8/5, on Canvasback/Atlantic. Pre-order it here.

Curtain Inspiration from The Natural Curtain Company
- Location: London, UK and online
- Website: naturalcurtaincompany.co.uk
Store History
- Headquarters: London, UK
I've been living in a window-treatment-less home for over three months now and it's finally time to get down to business. With winter coming, it's even more incentive to get something on the windows instead of leaving them bare. Here's a little bit of beautiful inspiration:
While most of these curtains are more than I will probably do in my own home (I'm a more simple shade sort of person), I do find these beautiful and just the ticket for getting into gear on window treatments.
How about you? Are layers of shades and drapery your cup of tea? Or do you prefer something simpler?

So, Chris asked me what I'm going to post about. I told him I didn't know. He said "Post about something awesome... like me."
So, I is for Inspiration, and my husband is mine. I guess my lack of post is not due to lack of muse. But even the most fantastic muse can't get salmon fillet out of chum. My mind has just been in other places. Something did occur to me, though. I've let the "You must have pictures to make a blog post" get to me. I've stopped myself from blogging lately because I didn't feel I had the pictures to back the post up. So enough of that. If I feel I have to force pictures into a post, then I don't feel that I'm being organic. My strong suit, I feel, is my language. I will not always post pictures, and I won't apologize for it. I'm sorry I let all of "those people" get to me.
But today I have some pictures. K is for Knit in Public, and we had a good one.
We've met some new friends (on the right is Heather, our new buddy who I hope we see a lot more of. On the left is Donna, my mother in law. She's pretty awesome too, not new, but still pretty great).
We also got to meet Pat, who is a wonderful lady, and a great knitter (I learned all of this in the 5 minutes that she had to share with us, we WILL HAVE to meet up again).
Did we get the crowds that we were ready to enjoy? No, but we still had a fantastic time. Lots of knitting got done, lots of jokes were shared, weather was enjoyed, hula hooping was reveled in (until Lora's oldest boy picked up a hula hoop for the first time in his life, then he picked up a second, and hooped with both of them. Yeah, spirit was busted. I haven't touched my hoop in that long.)
But even with only us, we used our powers for good instead of evil.
So many people brought yarn, bags, gift certificates, hand knit socks, and so many wonderful goodies to raffle off. We actually had more gifts than participants, so we joined some together. We ended up raising just under 100 dollars for New Horizons, Manchester's soup kitchen/food pantry/shelter. These people do such wonderful things for our area, and we're glad to help them do it.
So I want to thank everyone who showed up, everyone who bought a raffle ticket, everyone who donated something to raffle, everyone who expressed a desire to be with us, but couldn't, for whatever reason. Thank you, thank you, thank you. See you again next year!
L is for Lazy knitter, which I am not. Want to see?
Not a very recent photo, I've got a few more inches done, but I'm done letting photos, or lack thereof, stagnate my blogging, remember?
I've finished something else, but I'm not ready to share that yet ;)
L could also be for Lazy blogger, I guess, but here's a list of the other things that have been taking my attention: gardening (tomato above for proof) Wii Fit (5 pounds lost, as proof), reading (yeah, I've forgotten how to do that lately), wanting to spend time with my husband instead of upstairs on my computer (on his laptop now) and (AND!) Friday I got my Master Knitter's package.
Ok, so the Master Knitter program that I just got can't really give me an excuse for the last month, but I may need to use it later, so pay attention to it.) I get my yarn tomorrow, UPS willing. I'll be keeping up with my progress on my Ravelry projects page, if you're inclined to keep tabs on me. You know, that is if I don't blog it.
Ok, I'm going to stop here. I feel the whole post is a little disjointed, and I don't think that adding more will correct that. So everyone have a pleasant sleep tonight, and let the week be smoothe and sweet.

After a three week break for B&I cup, we're back in action this weekend in our final Principality West Group match. We take on Swansea RFC at St. Helens on Saturday afternoon so why not take timeout from your Xmas shopping and come along to support the semi's in what I'm sure will be a thoroughly entertaining and exciting clash between two sides who are more than capable of scoring tries from all areas of the park.
We currently lie in 4th spot in the group with six wins so far. Another 'W' on Saturday could be enough to secure that spot although we'll have to wait on the Aberavon result at the Gnoll on Boxing Day. I'm sure the boys will be working hard in training this week to try and finish the group stage on a high!
Our hosts Lie in 7th spot having won a couple of games so far. Having said that, they have been involved in quite a number of games where the result has been in doubt right up to the final whistle. Unfortunately for the 'All Whites' they've missed out, but those narrow defeats will count for nothing come Saturday afternoon. Over the years we've had some classic encounters in St. Helens and I've a feeling we could be in for a prevXmas fest!
As always our hosts will provide a very warm welcome to everyone who comes along so can I wish all our friends and supporters a very merry Christmas from all at Llanelli RFC and look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Of the CEOs at the traditional big three technology media companies-CMP Media, International Data Group and Ziff Davis-CMP's Gary Marshall has the longest current tenure in the top job. He took over on Jan. 1, 2000, and in his more than five years on the job, he has seen a great deal.
Marshall has weathered an unprecedented series of events: the epic collapse of tech print advertising, the bursting of the dot-com bubble and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. His first response to the hits that CMP and other tech media businesses absorbed in this period was to cut costs. But, he said, he has done more than slash head count at the company.
"We run our business far more efficiently, but we've done far more than cost-cutting," Marshall said. "We've re-engineered the business."
One thing he has understood is that companies such as CMP have a new and broader competitive set than in the past.
In the days before the Internet, IDG and Ziff Davis provided the lion's share of the competition. Now, new companies such as CNET Networks and TechTarget offer consumers new content and marketers new opportunities. "We still compete against Ziff Davis," Marshall said, "but it's a small sliver."
To meet the new challenges, Marshall and CMP have accelerated the company's already robust Web presence. The company has launched what it calls "pipeline" sites—such as the Database Pipeline or Compliance Pipeline—that delve deep into a specific tech category. It has also centralized Web development in a single platform, which has streamlined the creation of new Web sites.
"We can cost-efficiently get a Web site up and running far quicker than we could three or four years ago," Marshall said.
CMP's TechWeb site in June launched "The News Show," a daily web-based video news program aimed at tech professionals. Additionally, the company recently introduced its Lead Nurture site, designed to generate leads for b-to-b tech marketers.
For the most part, CMP has grown organically. With the exception of the 2003 deal to buy the Oncology Group and Cliggott Publishing from SCP Communications, it has pursued very few large acquisitions-even though its parent, United Business Media, has a strong balance sheet. "We won't overpay for acquisitions," Marshall said.
He emphasized that CMP is committed to the markets it currently serves. "The markets we're in—technology, health care and also entertainment—we believe in," he said. "We believe in them through the best times and in the bad times."

How does charity shopping work?
So maybe the words "Ellen" and "Angel" have never appeared in the same sentence before. You got a problem with that?
I'm an Angel with Attitude and I'm here to help. Get used to it.
This is where the holiday rubber meets the road. When your cup is half empty, mine is half full. Let me make your problem a no-brainer, a piece of cake, a slam-dunk.
Pick whatever cliches you want—from now until New Year's I'm Ellen, the Answer Angel. Are you talking to me? You should be. In the paper, online, in videos and, of course, from heaven, I'm flapping my fluffy wings to ease your way this holiday season.
This is not a game of "Let's stump the angel"—don't even think about trying—but if your problem is above my grade of halo, I'll consult with other Tribune experts to find the right answer. Just send your questions to email@example.com. I'm here to help. Really.
Remember, today is the first day of the rest of your holiday season, so let's get started (and if your question is where to get even more cliches, go to clichesite.com).
Dear Answer Angel: This holiday season, I'd like to find some special, one-of-a-kind gifts and also do good at the same time. So I plan to shop at resale stores that help others, like Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Brown Elephant. ... How much of what I spend at these places will go to a charitable cause and how much to administrative costs? Thanks!

Mitt RomneyFebruary 22. 2013 5:40PM
Mitt Romney, two-time Presidential candidate, American businessman, savior of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games and the 70th Governor of the State of Massachusetts, was born in Detroit on March 12, 1947. His mother was an actress before she married Mitt's father George who never graduated from college only to later become the head of American Motors and later, the Governor of Michigan. Mitt was brought up in the City of Bloomfield Hills where he attended the prestigious college-preparatory Cranbrook School. After graduation, he went to Stanford University for a year before leaving for a 30 month mission in France as a member of the Mormon church.
Upon his return, he enrolled in Brigham Young University and earned his undergraduate degree from the school in 1971. He followed that by attending Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, where he earned an M.B.A. and a J.D. in 1975. He also holds four honorary doctorates: an Honorary Doctor of Business from the University of Utah in 1999, an Honorary Doctor of Law from Bentley College in 2002, an Honorary Doctor of Public Administration from Suffolk University Law School in 2004, and an Honorary Doctor of Public Service from Hillsdale College in 2007.
Romney worked for the management consulting firm Bain and Company, eventually becoming CEO of the company before he co-founded a private equity investment firm, Bain Capital, in 1984. The company would become one of the largest firms of its kind in the nation, helping such companies as Corning, Inc., Outboard Marine Corporation and Burlington Industries. Later, the firm invested in companies such as Staples, Inc., Domino's Pizza, Sealy Corporation and Sport's Authority. During the 14 years he headed Bain Capital, the company's internal rate of return was 113 percent.
In 1997, Romney and his wife purchased a home in Wolfeboro on Lake Winnipesaukee. The home is a 3-story, 6-bedroom, 5,400 square foot home on an 11-acre lot with approximately 800-feet of water frontage. The couple continues to own their summer home in Wolfeboro but their primary residence is an oceanfront home in La Jolla, California.
In 1999, Romney was asked to serve as the President and CEO of the Salt Lake City Olympic Games Organizing Committee. He rescued the Olympics from financial and ethical turmoil to turn around the Salt Lake City Olympic Games in 2002 and make it a successful venture.
In 2002, People Magazine listed Romney in its 50 Most Beautiful People issue. He also wrote a book about his experience with the Olympics titled Turnaround: Crisis, Leadership, and the Olympic Games. The book was published in 2004.
Mitt was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2003. During his time as governor (2003-2007), Romney signed into law Massachusetts Health Care Reform legislation which provided almost universal access to healthcare via subsidies and state-level mandates. The law was the first of its kind in the nation.
In 2008 he ran for President but, despite winning several Primaries before losing the nomination to John McCain. Following his unsuccessful run, Romney continued to remain active in politics, founding Free and Strong America PAC, a political action committee, to help raise money for other Republican candidates. In 2010, he served on the Board of Directors of Marriott International and also gave speeches before business, educational and motivational groups. He also published another book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, that same year.
In June 2011, while speaking at a farm in Stratham, Romney once again announced the start of his 2012 Presidential campaign. He is considered a front-runner for the Republican nomination.
Mitt first met his wife Ann Davies in grammar school when he was a Cub Scout. They reconnected again later and the two were ultimately married in 1969. They have five children, all boys, and sixteen grandchildren.
On August 11, 2012, Mitt Romney announced that Senator Paul Ryan was his Vice Presidential pick.

This bowl is made in England. It is in the Keswick pattern, Royal semi-porcelain,by WOOD & SON. It is dated 1891-1907. In great condition. No chips or cracks. Some wear on back and some flea bites on the front. Measures 12x 9 1/4x 1 3/4in. Flow Blue started in Staffordshire, England in the 1800,s. It was accomplished by adding Ammonia or a cup of lime to the kiln during glazing. This would make the blue blurr or run. The colors would "FLOW". Thus, the name Flow Blue.

We started the trip by flying into Bangkok and staying in a hotel near the airport "The Silver Gold Garden". The hotel had plenty of room to build the bikes and we simply kept them in the room. It is cheaper to book via Expedia 800baht/night but it will cost 900baht over the counter. We found the hotel staff less than helpful even though they did speak some English they just weren't very interested. I guess most people just use this place as a stop over when flying on.
The big thing to consider is if you intend to leave Bangkok via train it is difficult to get the bike to the train station from the airport unless you get a taxi. You can't use the metro or the skytrain unless you have a folding bike and the main line trains only have very restricted services with a baggage car to take bikes. Finding a place closer to the train station would be a better option, of course you can always ride, it was our plan as we couldn't find a taxi big enough to take the bikes but flagged one down enroute.
If like us you intend to cycle to Phucket from Bangkok as part of your trip Hua Hin seems to be the best start point. We found a taxi will take you there from Bangkok with bikes for around 2200baht, pricey if on your own but 2 or more people isn't too bad considering it is 200km. The tour groups start at Phetchaburi but talking to some of the riders who cycled that leg I think Hua Hin is the best start point saving about 90km of less than great riding.
I am not going to try and give you directions as to be honest you will see that the distance we travel can be considerably more than these routes. Some of this is down to not being able to read all of the signs, less than perfect maps and good old human error. I don't have a GPS which will upload a track so the following links are as close as I can get to the route we rode entering the data manually.
I would of brought a decent GPS if I knew then what I know now, I have scoured shops for a Garmin here but to no avail. At a push a smart phone will do the trick, I have been using a blackberry with a Thai pay as you go sim which works out cheap enough but it all goes to pot if you don't have a signal! A mixture of google maps, blackberry maps and mapmyride have got me from one point to the next eventually.

Bob Woolmer's tragic death, Inzamam-ul-Haq's retirement as a one-day player and the team's disastrous World Cup has left Pakistan with a host of problems as they seek to regain their place as a serious cricket force.
The squad arrived in the Caribbean against a background of turmoil.
Last August's infamous forfeited Test match against England and the doping scandal which engulfed Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif had already eaten away at Pakistan's credibility.
The humiliating World Cup exit at the hands of Ireland's part-timers and the sad loss of Woolmer have left the game's rulers with plenty to ponder.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Naseem Ashraf, whose job is also on the line, has promised a complete overhaul of the sport.
"We maintained a short-term option for the World Cup, but now a comprehensive new structure and plan will be launched for the development of Pakistan cricket," Ashraf said.
However, Ashraf, a former first-class cricketer who took over in October last year, has been accused of failing to come up with a new PCB constitution.
"Pakistan cricket has been run on an ad-hoc basis since 1999 and an ad-hoc set up is a cancer for any set up. We had a ad-hoc body when we fared poorly in the last World Cup and now we see abysmal results in 2007," said Sirajul Islam Bukhari, secretary of the Karachi Cricket Association.
Former captain Imran Khan has been critical of a process which allows the Pakistan president, who is also the patron of the PCB, to appoint the head of the cricket body.
"The recent mess in Pakistan cricket is to be blamed on the patron who appoints the cricket chief," said Khan.
Since the Oval forfeit and Inzamam's ban for the Champions Trophy held in India in October, controversies have shrouded Pakistan cricket.
Younis Khan refused to lead the team for the Trophy, saying he did not want to be a dummy captain. Mohammad Yousuf replaced him.
Pakistan consider future after Inzamam and Woolmer
Bob Woolmer's tragic death, Inzamam-ul-Haq's retirement as a one-day player and the team's disastrous World Cup has left Pakistan with a host of problems as they seek to regain their place as a serious cricket force.
The following day the then-PCB chairman Shahryar Khan was forced to resign and barely hours after taking charge Ashraf reinstated Younis as captain.
Two days later, Pakistan cricket was plunged into a doping crisis as their spearheads Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif tested positive for nandrolone.
Akhtar was banned for two years and Asif for one year but their bans were controversially lifted on appeal, a decision widely criticised by the cricket world and challenged by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Pakistan named the doping tainted duo in their 15-man World Cup in the hope that they would clear second dope tests. They were finally withdrawn hours before the team's departure for the Caribbean on fitness grounds.
"The whole build-up was poor and created fears that Pakistan might not do well in the World Cup. Now heads must roll to bring Pakistan cricket back on track," said former captain and chief executive Ramiz Raja.
Pakistan has time to pick up the pieces.
They do not have a major assignment until the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in September this year. They also host South Africa in October before welcoming Australia early next year.
Younis Khan is likley to take over as captain from Inzamam and Pakistan has depth of talent in reserves to get back on top of their game.
However, finding a new coach could prove difficult.
"Bob's greatest strength was that the atmosphere in the changing room was harmonious. The team was well knitted together and that was to his credit," said Imran.
There were reports that the PCB has contacted former New Zealand opener and ex-Indian coach John Wright to take the job after the World Cup.

96, 4 door, power everything,
Here is the 1984 Ford Ranger 4x4 that my brother and I own. We found it for sale in a field in bad shape, but knew its potential. The owner wanted $400 for it originally, but my brother talked the seller down to $360 and we took it home. "Hill Billy" is a constant work in progress. We are always looking for ways to improve it's appearance and performance. The engine is a 115 horsepower carbureted 2.8 L Ford Cologne V6. The ranger has a 5-speed Mazda M5OD-R1 manual transmission. Over the course of a few months, my brother and I had achieved the basic look we wanted for the truck. With many new parts, add-ons, modifications, and styling, the truck now looks better and runs better than it has in years. And after about a year i bought an old ranger with a lift kit and swapped the suspension to achieve the lift on the original truck.

Jobs boost for Longford as Mr Price arrives
Variety retail chain Mr Price is to open a new store in Longford town, creating up to 15 new jobs in the process, writes Liam Cosgrove.
Senior representatives from the bargain store provider shook hands on a deal to acquire a premises at the Townspark Industrial Centre in recent days. The announcement brings to almost 50 the number of jobs newly established retailers have created in Longford since the end of August.A company spokesman said the company's expansion to Longford would have come a lot sooner but for lengthy negotiations in securing the vacant unit from NAMA."We always wanted to set up links in Longford and we had highlighted the town as an area for expansion for some time," he said.It's hoped the new store will be open by the end of November as company bosses set their sights on recruitment and fit-out requirements. Local auctioneer, Sean Dalton who helped broker the deal, said the announcement was a vote of confidence in Longford retail.

Sunday our little state of Vermont was just one of many hit hard by Irene and she packed quite a wallop! Wet and wild, one only has to glance at the media to see the widespread effects of wind and water.
While my homefront fortunately came through it with just some power outage, fallen branches and a few new rivulets on the hillside, the historic part of my town saw a lot of damage to local buildings and businesses. It's a tight community and everyone pulled together yesterday to help in the clean-up efforts but it will take some time for these good folks to recover from the structural and emotional upheaval.
As the storm ran it's course and the rain continued we lost power a couple of times. I toyed with how to pass the time with no electricity. I could read I supposed – it was still daytime – but awfully dark and dreary. I could hear my mother's voice "you'll strain your eyes in that light!". Vacuuming was definitely out of the question. OH. DARN. Then I remembered that my oven is not electric, but gas. Well, jiminy cricket!
And what to bake? Hmmm…there was that biscotti recipe on my fridge I had been wanting to play around with that's been gathering dust. I made some changes in the flavourings and adjusted the ingredients slightly and I think they came out quite nicely if I do say so.
Perfect for fortifying weary clean-up crew or simply dipped into a cappuccino or some vin santo as you remember what's truly good in your life, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Preheat your oven to 350F
Combine and set aside:
- 10 oz (2 c) flour
- 1 t baking powder
- 1/8 t salt
Cream until light and fluffy
- 8 oz (1 c) sugar
- 4 oz unsalted butter
Beat in
- 2 eggs
- 3 T dark rum (cognac or brandy work well too)
Stir in just to combine evenly
- 4 oz (1/2 c) hazelnuts, lightly toasted and roughly chopped
- 2 T anise or fennel seeds
Wrap and chill your dough for at least a half hour, up to several days.
Form 2 long logs on a half-sheet pan lined with parchment or a Silpat, leaving plenty of space between as they will spread a good bit.
Bake until just set and starting to colour slightly.
Remove and let cool, then slice and re-toast in the oven until lightly coloured and just crisp to the touch.
Store in a covered container for up to two weeks. These also freeze remarkably well.

I am not a curvy girl. Not even close.
Breasts? Forget it. I don't wear a bra with 99.9 percent of all articles of clothing.
Hips? Not even mildly interesting unless you count that weird mole I had but it fell off ten years ago.
My weight – all 125 pounds of it on my 5'4 frame – falls in my thighs and ass like most women but its nothing to write home about.
And when you get right down to it, I'm not even close to being a girl anymore. At 41 and as the mother of three teenage boys, I'm well past the expiration date on that term.
And I know, and completely understand, that many women who see themselves as "curvy" stopped reading when I wrote 125 pounds. I get it. But I am submitting this anyway because it is a sad but universal truth that the majority of women, whether "curvy girls" or not, spend to much time looking in or avoiding the mirror and feeling inadequate.
I had a shining moment, when I was 19 or so, where I tasted all too briefly my own power as a woman and the effect that power could have. While I would like to say that I used that power for the good of all mankind (think Mother Theresa or Madame Curie or even Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde) in reality, I used it to finally, for the love-of-all-that-was-holy, cast off the chains of my virginity.
That confidence, a confidence I never had in middle and high school as mousy, nerdy, glasses-wearing font of awkwardness (my 9th grade yearbook picture is beyond description), was intoxicating but short-lived. As most women know, there are too many things in life that present themselves, whether real or imagined, and shake our confidence in who we are and what we are worth.
Madeleine Albright (not Taylor Swift as it has been attributed of late) said there is a special place in hell reserved for women who refuse to help other women. And while Ms. Albright was talking about the workplace, this is true for all of life. No one understands women like women and that creates a sacred responsibility between us. I suppose that men might say no one understands men like men, but let's get real – we understand them better than they understand themselves, too.
So that is why I am writing this, because in solidarity with all you "curvy girls" are the rest of us who also look in the mirror and instead of being heartened in sheer amazement at these bodies that can produce life and the means to sustain it, we find fault at every turn. And because many of you are raising your own daughters who need to grow up understanding that their beauty is not quantifiable in their breasts, or their hips, or the numbers on scale, but in their presence on the planet. And many of us, myself included, are raising sons that need to see those daughters as beautiful for the same reason.
Nikki Jamison is a 41 years old wife and mother of three teenage boys (16, 17 and 19 – don't judge, I started young). I live in Fenton, Michigan and I am a fledgling business owner as of this year – Three Boy Bakery (check me out on Facebook) – and also work for a small marketing and consulting firm. I am not highly educated or endowed with degrees, have a fairly sarcastic sense of humor, have refrained from drowning my children in the bathtub on several occasions and love, love, love my husband who does the best he can to make me feel gorgeous despite my natural inclination to see myself otherwise.

Data services can be configured to launch under a Solaris project name when brought online by using the RGM. The configuration associates a resource or resource group managed by the RGM with a Solaris project ID. The mapping from your resource or resource group to a project ID gives you the ability to use sophisticated controls that are available in the Solaris OS to manage workloads and consumption within your cluster.
You can perform this configuration if you are using Sun Cluster on the Solaris 9 OS or on the Solaris 10 OS.
Using the Solaris management functionality in a Sun Cluster environment enables you to ensure that your most important applications are given priority when sharing a node with other applications. Applications might share a node if you have consolidated services or because applications have failed over. Use of the management functionality described herein might improve availability of a critical application by preventing lower-priority applications from overconsuming system supplies such as CPU time.
The Solaris documentation for this feature describes CPU time, processes, tasks and similar components as "resources". Meanwhile, Sun Cluster documentation uses the term "resources" to describe entities that are under the control of the RGM. The following section uses the term "resource" to refer to Sun Cluster entities that are under the control of the RGM. The section uses the term "supplies" to refer to CPU time, processes, and tasks.
This section provides a conceptual description of configuring data services to launch processes on a specified Solaris OS UNIXproject(4). This section also describes several failover scenarios and suggestions for planning to use the management functionality provided by the Solaris Operating System.
For detailed conceptual and procedural documentation about the management feature, refer to Chapter 1, Network Service (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Network Services.
When configuring resources and resource groups to use Solaris management functionality in a cluster, use the following high-level process:
Configuring applications as part of the resource.
Configuring resources as part of a resource group.
Enabling resources in the resource group.
Making the resource group managed.
Creating a Solaris project for your resource group.
Configuring standard properties to associate the resource group name with the project you created in step 5.
Bringing the resource group online.
To configure the standard Resource_project_name or RG_project_name properties to associate the Solaris project ID with the resource or resource group, use the -p option with the clresource set and the clresourcegroup set command. Set the property values to the resource or to the resource group. See Appendix B, Standard Properties, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS for property definitions. See the r_properties(5) and rg_properties(5) man pages for descriptions of properties.
The specified project name must exist in the projects database (/etc/project) and the root user must be configured as a member of the named project. Refer to Chapter 2, Projects and Tasks (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones for conceptual information about the project name database. Refer to project(4) for a description of project file syntax.
When the RGM brings resources or resource groups online, it launches the related processes under the project name.
Users can associate the resource or resource group with a project at any time. However, the new project name is not effective until the resource or resource group is taken offline and brought back online by using the RGM.
Launching resources and resource groups under the project name enables you to configure the following features to manage system supplies across your cluster.
Extended Accounting – Provides a flexible way to record consumption on a task or process basis. Extended accounting enables you to examine historical usage and make assessments of capacity requirements for future workloads.
Controls – Provide a mechanism for constraint on system supplies. Processes, tasks, and projects can be prevented from consuming large amounts of specified system supplies.
Fair Share Scheduling (FSS) – Provides the ability to control the allocation of available CPU time among workloads, based on their importance. Workload importance is expressed by the number of shares of CPU time that you assign to each workload. Refer to the following man pages for more information.
Pools – Provide the ability to use partitions for interactive applications according to the application's requirements. Pools can be used to partition a host that supports a number of different software applications. The use of pools results in a more predictable response for each application.
Before you configure data services to use the controls provided by Solaris in a Sun Cluster environment, you must decide how to control and track resources across switchovers or failovers. Identify dependencies within your cluster before configuring a new project. For example, resources and resource groups depend on device groups.
Use the nodelist, failback, maximum_primaries and desired_primaries resource group properties that you configure with the clresourcegroup set command to identify node list priorities for your resource group.
For a brief discussion of the node list dependencies between resource groups and device groups, refer to Relationship Between Resource Groups and Device Groups in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.
For detailed property descriptions, refer to rg_properties(5).
Use the preferenced property and failback property that you configure with the cldevicegroup and clsetup commands to determine device group node list priorities. See the clresourcegroup(1CL), cldevicegroup(1CL), and clsetup(1CL) man pages.
For conceptual information about the preferenced property, see Multiported Device Groups.
For procedural information, see "How To Change Disk Device Properties" in Administering Device Groups in Sun Cluster System Administration Guide for Solaris OS.
For conceptual information about node configuration and the behavior of failover and scalable data services, see Sun Cluster System Hardware and Software Components.
If you configure all cluster nodes identically, usage limits are enforced identically on primary and secondary nodes. The configuration parameters of projects do not need to be identical for all applications in the configuration files on all nodes. All projects that are associated with the application must at least be accessible by the project database on all potential masters of that application. Suppose that Application 1 is mastered by phys-schost-1 but could potentially be switched over or failed over to phys-schost-2 or phys-schost-3. The project that is associated with Application 1 must be accessible on all three nodes (phys-schost-1, phys-schost-2, and phys-schost-3).
Project database information can be a local /etc/project database file or can be stored in the NIS map or the LDAP directory service.
The Solaris Operating System enables for flexible configuration of usage parameters, and few restrictions are imposed by Sun Cluster. Configuration choices depend on the needs of the site. Consider the general guidelines in the following sections before configuring your systems.
Set the process.max-address-space control to limit virtual memory on a per-process basis. See the rctladm(1M) man page for information about setting the process.max-address-space value.
When you use management controls with Sun Cluster software, configure memory limits appropriately to prevent unnecessary failover of applications and a "ping-pong" effect of applications. In general, observe the following guidelines.
Do not set memory limits too low.
When an application reaches its memory limit, it might fail over. This guideline is especially important for database applications, when reaching a virtual memory limit can have unexpected consequences.
Do not set memory limits identically on primary and secondary nodes.
Identical limits can cause a ping-pong effect when an application reaches its memory limit and fails over to a secondary node with an identical memory limit. Set the memory limit slightly higher on the secondary node. The difference in memory limits helps prevent the ping-pong scenario and gives the system administrator a period of time in which to adjust the parameters as necessary.
Do use the resource management memory limits for load balancing.
For example, you can use memory limits to prevent an errant application from consuming excessive swap space.
You can configure management parameters so that the allocation in the project configuration (/etc/project) works in normal cluster operation and in switchover or failover situations.
The following sections are example scenarios.
The first two sections, Two-Host Cluster With Two Applications and Two-Host Cluster With Three Applications, show failover scenarios for entire hosts.
The section Failover of Resource Group Only illustrates failover operation for an application only.
In a Sun Cluster environment, you configure an application as part of a resource. You then configure a resource as part of a resource group (RG). When a failure occurs, the resource group, along with its associated applications, fails over to another node. In the following examples the resources are not shown explicitly. Assume that each resource has only one application.
Failover occurs in the order in which nodes are specified in the node list and set in the RGM.
The following examples have these constraints:
Application 1 (App-1) is configured in resource group RG-1.
Application 2 (App-2) is configured in resource group RG-2.
Application 3 (App-3) is configured in resource group RG-3.
Although the numbers of assigned shares remain the same, the percentage of CPU time that is allocated to each application changes after failover. This percentage depends on the number of applications that are running on the node and the number of shares that are assigned to each active application.
In these scenarios, assume the following configurations.
All applications are configured under a common project.
Each resource has only one application.
The applications are the only active processes on the nodes.
The projects databases are configured the same on each node of the cluster.
You can configure two applications on a two-host cluster to ensure that each physical host (phys-schost-1, phys-schost-2) acts as the default master for one application. Each physical host acts as the secondary node for the other physical host. All projects that are associated with Application 1 and Application 2 must be represented in the projects database files on both nodes. When the cluster is running normally, each application is running on its default master, where it is allocated all CPU time by the management facility.
After a failover or switchover occurs, both applications run on a single node where they are allocated shares as specified in the configuration file. For example, this entry in the/etc/project file specifies that Application 1 is allocated 4 shares and Application 2 is allocated 1 share.
Prj_1:100:project for App-1:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,4,none) Prj_2:101:project for App-2:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,1,none)
The following diagram illustrates the normal and failover operations of this configuration. The number of shares that are assigned does not change. However, the percentage of CPU time available to each application can change. The percentage depends on the number of shares that are assigned to each process that demands CPU time.
On a two-host cluster with three applications, you can configure one host (phys-schost-1) as the default master of one application. You can configure the second physical host (phys-schost-2) as the default master for the remaining two applications. Assume the following example projects database file is located on every host. The projects database file does not change when a failover or switchover occurs.
Prj_1:103:project for App-1:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,5,none) Prj_2:104:project for App_2:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,3,none) Prj_3:105:project for App_3:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,2,none)
When the cluster is running normally, Application 1 is allocated 5 shares on its default master, phys-schost-1. This number is equivalent to 100 percent of CPU time because it is the only application that demands CPU time on that host. Applications 2 and 3 are allocated 3 and 2 shares, respectively, on their default master, phys-schost-2. Application 2 would receive 60 percent of CPU time and Application 3 would receive 40 percent of CPU time during normal operation.
If a failover or switchover occurs and Application 1 is switched over to phys-schost-2, the shares for all three applications remain the same. However, the percentages of CPU resources are reallocated according to the projects database file.
Application 1, with 5 shares, receives 50 percent of CPU.
Application 2, with 3 shares, receives 30 percent of CPU.
Application 3, with 2 shares, receives 20 percent of CPU.
The following diagram illustrates the normal operations and failover operations of this configuration.
In a configuration in which multiple resource groups have the same default master, a resource group (and its associated applications) can fail over or be switched over to a secondary node. Meanwhile, the default master is running in the cluster.
During failover, the application that fails over is allocated resources as specified in the configuration file on the secondary host. In this example, the project database files on the primary and secondary hosts have the same configurations.
For example, this sample configuration file specifies that Application 1 is allocated 1 share, Application 2 is allocated 2 shares, and Application 3 is allocated 2 shares.
Prj_1:106:project for App_1:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,1,none) Prj_2:107:project for App_2:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,2,none) Prj_3:108:project for App_3:root::project.cpu-shares=(privileged,2,none)
The following diagram illustrates the normal and failover operations of this configuration, where RG-2, containing Application 2, fails over to phys-schost-2. Note that the number of shares assigned does not change. However, the percentage of CPU time available to each application can change, depending on the number of shares that are assigned to each application that demands CPU time.

"Drat, drat and double drat!" The Brain fumed as Adam hit the floor, the victorious Slayer standing over him, power-core in hand, "Does she know how hard it was to manipulate that egotistical fool Walsh into building him in the first place?"
"I don't know Brain, does she?" Pinky was running around in his wheel, "Who is she anyway?"
"Our new nemesis!" The Brain hissed, "I swear that I will one-day have my revenge on Buffy Summers!"
"Ok. So, what do you want to do tomorrow night?"
"Same thing we do every night Pinky: try to take over the world!"

Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XVI
Chapter XVI.—Why They Wish to Possess Men.
"Now that the demons are desirous of occupying the bodies of men, this is the reason. They are spirits having their purpose turned to wickedness. Therefore by immoderate eating and drinking, and lust, they urge men on to sin, but only those who entertain the purpose of sinning, who, while they seem simply desirous of satisfying the necessary cravings of nature, give opportunity to the demons to enter into them, because through excess they do not maintain moderation. For as long as the measure of nature is kept, and legitimate moderation is preserved, the mercy of God does not give them liberty to enter into men. But when either the mind falls into impiety, or the body is filled with immoderate meat or drink, then, as if invited by the will and purpose of those who thus neglect themselves, they receive power as against those who have broken the law imposed by God.

AC Schnitzer BMW 4-Series Gran Coupé
AC Schnitzer never claims to make a great car. They never claim to be the genius behind the car. They leaves those accolades to BMW, Land Rover, and Mini. What they do is even more fun. They take cars and motorcycles from these companies and improve them. Their latest example is the ACS4 Gran Coupé, a retooled BMW 4-Series Gran Coupé. They lowered the car to improve handling. AC Schnitzer then updates the exhaust system and other minor performance tweaks to improve horsepower and give you more torque push you back in the seat. New spring kits and suspension components improve handling and control.
A front spoiler, a slicker grille, and carbon fiber mirror covers improve aerodynamic, along with adding a tougher appearance. While AC Schnitzer may not be the originator of the car, the ACS4 Gran Coupé gives the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupé a completely new feel.
