text: Folks, I'm using a pair of Raspberry Pi computers connected to a WRT54GS (ver 2.1) router. One is directly connected via Ethernet to the router, while the other one uses a wireless connection. The hardwired Pi is being used as a music file server, while the wireless one is running Logitech Media Server (LMS) software along with Squeezeslave, an LMS client. With the "stock" Linksys firmware everything runs fine and, via Squeezeslave, I'm able to play music streamed from the hardwired Pi. HOWEVER, with version 1.28 Tomato firmware the streaming between the two Pi's seems extremely slow with the music breaking up/pausing every few seconds! This problem occurs even when there is almost no other network traffic. The problem remains with of without QoS activated in the Tomato software. I'm not a network expert, but could this problem be caused by the Pi-to-Pi traffic going through the router (when using Tomato) instead of going directly from one Pi to the other? If not that, could the Tomato router have a problem passing data from one client to another on the same subnet? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Wayne

site like paypal
Budget $1500-3000 USD
I want to create a website very similar to PayPal. It will be a site where users can send money via a credit card or bank account to other users as payment for goods / services or as a gift. When users buy goods I want the seller to get a shipping label with the buyer's address on it, just like PayPal. I would like for it to be able to be used internationally so that a user in the US can receive funds sent as euros and have them converted to US dollars. Also, I would want it so users can withdraw funds at anytime, very much like PayPal. Users can have their available balances sent right to their bank accounts or receive a check. It would need to be secure and safe. Also, I would like to charge a small fee for each transactions done.

A Virginia man and his sister face weapons charges after police said they found 15 handguns in the trunk of their car during a traffic stop on Interstate 78 in Upper Macungie Township.
Charles Anthony Tabor, 24, and Terreka Joy Marie Tabor, 26, both of Roanoke, are charged with carrying concealed firearms and conspiracy. Charles Tabor also is charged with illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, resisting arrest and escape following a tense 40 minutes early Friday.
State police said Charles Tabor was convicted last year of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, a felony, which prohibits him from possessing a firearm. Tabor served about 10 months of a five-year sentence before being released. Court records in Virginia indicate he was charged in June with a felony count of malicious wounding but was released on bail.
State police said they spotted a silver car with a Mississippi license plate cross the white median lines of eastbound I-78 about 3:16 a.m.
A trooper turned on the emergency lights and sirens on his patrol car and the car pulled onto the shoulder. The driver told the trooper he didn't have a license, but his sister, the passenger, added that she'd asked him to drive because she was falling asleep, according to court records.
A second trooper pulled up to the traffic stop and as they questioned the driver, he noticed a large roll of cash bound in rubber bands in the glove box, police said. The driver told police it was cash for child support, while his sister said it was hers because she planned to go shopping.
Troopers said they continued to question the pair and about 3:53 a.m. Terreka Tabor gave them permission to search her car. Police said they found 15 guns in a black bag in the trunk of the car. When a trooper tried to handcuff Charles Tabor he tried to flee before he was stunned with a Taser and arrested, police said.
Charles Tabor was ordered held on $100,000 bail and Terreka Tabor on $10,000 bail after being arraigned Friday night by District Judge Karen C. Devine. Both were released after a bondsman posted bail for them Saturday.

Time is money and money saves lives.
In September 2015, the terrible consequences of the refugee crisis were plain. Horror at the suffering of the desperate and the sight of children washed ashore compelled us all to help.
A group of lawyers set up a donation page and invited professionals to donate a sum equivalent to a single billable hour of their time. The campaign was called Billable Hour and it raised over £200,000. All the money went to Save the Children to help them in their incredible efforts to aid refugees.
Since then the campaign has expanded beyond lawyers and looks to help Save the Children with their vital work in every area of the world. As they help some of the 2 million malnourished children in Yemen, fight famine in East Africa and work with children trapped by poverty in the UK we will do our part too.
Time for us, once again, to stand up for justice.

Gorgeous! And I'd recognize that wedding ring anywhere. I still remember seeing it for the first time (how old was I?) and hearing the pair of them describe how they are one (two?) of a kind, made just for them. Is there anyone in the world nicer than Nancy? I don't think so.ReplyDelete
I hope she sees this again :)ReplyDelete

"Dottie is a dynamic, powerful, funny and energetic woman and speaker. As a survivor and veteran police officer, she understands the importance of ending violence against women. Her presentations are not only inspiring and compelling, but they also provide participants with practical tools to be effective in their community."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Dottie Davis and hearing her present many times over the past fifteen years. She consistently impresses me with her ability to grasp the essence of complicated issues and to effectively communicate this to her audience. I highly recommend her as a speaker or instructor."
"Dottie has provided outstanding presentations for us on Workplace Violence, addressing the Human Resource and Safety Management teams from many Fort Wayne and surrounding area companies. She has a very canny way of connecting with each person in the room and giving a very clear perspective of this reality that no one ever wants to encounter. Evaluations following her sessions are always "exceptional" with several companies always contracting with her for training afterwards. We at RediMed Business Health would unanimously and highly recommend Dottie for any of her services."
"Dottie is an excellent speaker who took the time to research and understand our target audience and our mission and she delivered! She is real and down to earth and doesn't candy-coat her message. She left quite a positive impression on our high school sophomore girls. Dottie was our first keynote speaker asked to return for a repeat engagement. She is awesome and we won't hesitate to ask her again."
"Ms. Dottie Davis has been an inspiration since the first time I heard her speak. She is a survivor with a very unique story; a face we would not readily identify with domestic violence, which makes her story that much more compelling. She is a voice for many like her who suffer in silence daily from the fear that immobilizes them. Her passion, intelligence, strength and sincerity are just a few of the hallmarks of what make her one of the most innovative and inspirational speakers I have had the pleasure of working with."
"Dottie Davis is a wonderful speaker. She is very professional, knows her stuff and can communicate with her audience. Dottie is a good listener and can understand the trauma that people have been through. I can whole heartedly recommend Dottie Davis as a speaker, trainer, and consultant."
"Dottie Davis is a powerful and effective speaker. She uses her law enforcement experience and personal warmth to engage the audience in learning real-world skills. Highly recommend!"
"Our company, Web Industries, provides annual training to all employees on many topics which include sexual harassment and violence in the workplace, what is acceptable and unacceptable and how to handle it. Dottie has provided this training for the past 3+ years with thought-provoking presentations which are tailored to meet any immediate or perceived situations. Our employees have been very receptive to her presentations because of the real world situations she interjects. It sure beats canned training presentations."

You are currently browsing the daily archive for June 13, 2017.
On June 14, 1777 the Stars and Stripes was officially adopted as the flag of the United States of America.
However, despite several petitions and commemorations during the 19th century, it was only in 1916 that President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation declaring June 14 as Flag Day. Later, in 1949, an Act of Congress designated a national Flag Day.
Although Flag Day is not a federal holiday, several towns and cities in the United States hold parades.
(Graphic credit: Wikipedia)
It is entirely coincidental, yet highly appropriate, that on June 14, 1946, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump gave birth to a son, Donald John.
Little did she know then that boisterous, brash Donald would become President of the United States at the age of 70.
Few people love the United States the way President Trump does. During the 2016 campaign, the photo below was widely circulated (courtesy of Reddit). Pure Americana:
Today it's hard to imagine anyone more American than Donald Trump.
God threw away the mould when He made Donald.
Even when the billionaire made mistakes in his career, he always bounced back. He turned failure into success.
Despite three marriages, Trump's five children are exceptional, particularly by today's standards. Barron is too young, but the other four have never had drug or drink problems. The three eldest, by Ivana, have stable marriages. Tiffany (Marla Maples) is single but has a steady boyfriend. All comport themselves well.
For these reasons, it is difficult to be negative about Trump. He also turned reality television to his advantage with The Apprentice. His successor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, just couldn't attract the same audience.
Thanks to The Apprentice, Trump engaged in other television appearances, reaching an ever wider audience. This episode from the wrestling show Raw presents the Battle of the Billionaires in a challenge for charity:
Here's what happened next:
(No billionaire was hurt in the making of that television show. That said, don't try this at home, kids.)
The genius of this silliness is that, by the time he descended the escalator in Trump Tower in June 2015 to announce his candidacy for president, nearly everyone in the United States knew who he was.
Trump also had a wide circle of friends who deserted him after that. Here is a photo of him with Kathy Griffin of CNN (she's the redhead) who recently was in a tasteless, gory video holding an effigy of his head in her right hand. Disgusting. Here they were in happier times:
See how hypocritical people can be?
CNN objected to what Griffin posted online, and cancelled her appearance on their next New Year's Eve show. Meanwhile, Trump supporters have been busy contacting CNN sponsors. The Daily Mail has the full story on Griffin's video and the blowback. By June 2, several of Griffin's appearances at venues around the United States were cancelled. Furthermore, despite Griffin's statements that she would never hurt children, several years ago she targeted Willow Palin — a teenager at the time — and actually had the brass whatsits to knock on the Palins' front door. But I digress.
Over the past two years, President Trump has come to know who his real friends and allies are.
I wish President Trump a very happy birthday and many happy returns. I hope he is surrounded by family and friends for a splendid celebration.

WooCommerce Auto Complete Virtual Orders
Spending time switching orders from "Processing" to "Completed"??
WooCommerce can automatically mark orders as complete if they only contain downloadable products. But if your order contains only virtual products, it leaves order status as "processing" after the payment is received.
In a lot of situation, this is not the desired behaviour. You'd need to manually mark each order as completed – and that's too time consuming.
We faced the same problem, so created a WooCommerce extension to solve this problem.
WooCommerce Auto Complete Virtual Orders is a Zero-configuration plugin.
Just install it, and it will start marking orders with only virtual or downloadable items as completed, instead of processing.
Just five minutes of buying and installing this plugin can save you from manually reviewing and completing those pesky processing orders 😉

"To be mature means to face, and not evade, every fresh crisis that comes." says Fritz Kunkel. This postulate is demonstrated through the character Paul in Conrad Aiken's Silent Snow, Secret Snow. This young boy is beginning to mature and grow out of his childhood, and he goes through a state of repudiation that comes to life as a psychosis. In fear, he reaches for his past and his childhood, which are represented by his neighborhood postman. However, he cannot hold onto that forever. Man has an innate fear of growing up, change, and the alienation that can come with it. This young boy's psychosis, the snow, represents Man's fear of growing up.
Paul's "secret", the world of snow that he sees, is his way of keeping himself from growing up. It hides the world from him like a mother, and like a mother, it lets him feel like he has something special and is safe.
The narrator states "Nor was it only a source of possession - it was also a sense of protection." (165) This "protection" is the protection that a child feels with his mother, and with his ignorance of the horrors of the world. He uses this "snow" to keep out those things that would cause him to mature out of his safe, undeveloped world.
During school, his teacher and classmates occasionally break through his snow and he acknowledges them. For the most part, however, he keeps them in the real world, on the other side of the snow. He blocks out his teacher, Miss Buell, as the narrator says, "putting his secret between himself and the words." (165) He also blocks out his classmate girl, Deirdre. She represents romantic love, which is a very mature feeling, and that maturity is what he is...

U.S. Representative Steve Scalise remained in critical condition on Friday, a hospital spokeswoman, after he was shot by a gunman earlier in the week who opened fire on Republican lawmakers practicing for a baseball game.
Scalise, the No. 3 House Republican, sustained injuries to internal organs, broken bones and severe bleeding after being shot in his left hip on Wednesday morning on a baseball field in a Washington, D.C., suburb.
So Young Pak, director of media relations at MedStar Washington Hospital Center where Scalise is being treated, gave no additional details about his condition.
The hospital said earlier in the week that he had undergone surgery for internal injuries and a broken leg.
Scalise, 51, a police officer, a congressional aide and a lobbyist were wounded on Wednesday when a man identified as James Hodgkinson, 66, from the St. Louis suburb of Belleville, Illinois, opened fire on the lawmakers who were practicing for an annual charity baseball game between Republicans and Democrats. Hodgkinson died after being shot by police.
Members of Congress took the field at Washington's Nationals Park on Thursday night for the game, many wearing hats to honor Scalise.

The laptop will be used all day for work, but I play WoW at night (6/9 BT) so I know I need a MBP. I'm concerned not with the speed increases that may come from a refresh in August, but I am concerned with the Nvidia issue knowing I will game. I've done the research I can at this point, but I am still very new to the Mac scene - if I buy a MBP now, am I essentially screwed knowing I will tax the GPU playing WoW for 4 hours raids several nights a week?

Team Draft Needs: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
By: Bernie Marshall
Posted: 2006-02-24
Category: Washington Redskins News
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2005 Results: 11-5, 1st in NFC South
2006 Projected Cap Status: $75,000,000
2005 Season Recap:
Tampa Bay claimed the NFC South with an 11-5 regular-season record. The Buccaneers began the season 5-1 with QB Brian Griese under center, but Chris Simms lost to the 49ers in his first start and all hope was lost for most Dolphins fans. As the season played out Simms settled down and guided the Bucs to wins in five of their last seven games to close the regular season. RB Cadillac Williams, the fifth overall pick, had an instant impact in Tampa. He ran for more than 100 yards in each of his first 3 starts, and the Bucs were 6-0 when he broke a 100. DT Chris Hovan plugged the hole in the Bucs' run defense and the defensive unit finished the year ranked first in the league.
Team Needs:
1. Tackle. The Bucs' best OL is an unrestricted free agent (T Kenyatta Walker). The team also needs to improve its pass protection.
2. Cornerback. Cornerbacks R. Barber and B. Kelly are both getting up there in age and Juran Bolden is a unrestricted free agent.
3. Receiver. Michael Clayton had an off year so the jury is still out on him, and Joey Galloway had 10 TD catches and over 1000 yards but with Ike Hilliard headed out as a free agent the unit is in need of some new blood.
2006 Draft Picks:
1st Round 23rd Overall
Free agency status:
UFA: CB Juran Bolden, PK Matt Bryant, FB Jameel Cook, TE Will Heller, WR Ike Hilliard, DT Chris Hovan, S Dexter Jackson, T Kenyatta Walker
RFA: QB Chris Simms.
ERFA: DT Jon Bradley.

|Preview on Server: select all & override limit
12/08/2006 10:18pm
|1) Would be nice to have a button for "select all" and then buttons for "mark delete" and "mark download" and followed by clicking the existing to "OK" button to execute. Any variation on this you think is better would be fine with me. If I could avoid clicking each individual message's boxes for delete and download, then just uncheck a few as desired, the preview on server would become more useful for screening messages from very active mailing lists.
2) Not sure if it's intentional design change. Used to be that when a message size limit was set in Account Properties, the Preview on Server download option would override that. Now I have to change the setting in properties, then remember to change it back (I keep the limit low to block spam). If the new behavior is intential, my preference would be for an "overide limit" checkbox in the Preview on Server window that when checked allows the old functionality.
12/08/2006 10:33pm
1) Would be nice to have a button for "select all"
That would be
buttons for "mark delete" and "mark download"
Click the column heading to mark all of them as "Delete" or "Download", is that what you mean?
If the new behavior is intential, my preference would be for an "overide limit" checkbox in the Preview on Server window that when checked allows the old functionality.
I don't remember changing anything. So you want the limit to effect which email are marked for download? I don't think any are marked for auto download by default... I think you need to explain more.
12/08/2006 10:52pm
|Thanks, the column headers will be fine, just wasn't intuitive (I had tried right clicking in the column, also read Help).
Not sure how to explain the size limit function better. But here are the steps.
I have limit set to 20KB. In a routine receive operation (not preview on server), I get the red button letting me know something did not work correctly. So I check the Status/Log tab and it shows there was a 50KB message in the account Inbox not downloaded. So I then use Preview on Server to see if it's a message I want to download or not. Used to be, all I had to do then is mark it for download (and then delete too). But now unless I go into Account/Properties first and reset the size limit to >50KB, it just list the message but won't download it (doesn't delete either which in this case is good, since it wasn't downloaded).
13/08/2006 11:51pm
it just list the message but won't download it
Ok I understand, the size limit is overriding the explicit download command from the user. Yes that should be fixed.


text: I was reading that if the winner of your auction backs out of the transaction you can open an "unpaid item" case to resolve the issue. That seems like it would be a cumbersome process, so as an alternative, I we wondering if they would let you offer the item to the next highest bidder for the price they bid for the item. I don't see a definitive answer on the ebay website, and I don't really want to ask them since it might cause them to "monitor" me. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate knowing the answer. thanks!

Real Image of 360 N4S Sporting Snapdragon 625 Leaked: Possible October Release Date
by Oct 18, 2016 3:21 am2
We reported 360 Mobiles was working on releasing two versions of the 360 N4S: one with a Snapdragon 625 chip and the other with a Helio X20 processor. Popular leaker @KJuma has posted a real life image of the Qualcomm version of the phone confirming most of the details leaked before.
The image of the 360 N4S apart from confirming the snapdragon 625 SoC, also shows the phone has 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. A leaked pack of the phone listed it has having 64GB of storage, we want to assume there will be two storage options.
The phone runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and has a Full HD display said to be 5.5-inches. If you look closely, you can even see the 2.5D curve of the display, but that black line around the screen isn't going to go down well with folks especially on this white version. The phone also appears to be sporting a front flash allowing for better selfies in the dark.

Other details not confirmed yet include the 5000mAh battery which is rumoured to feature fast charge that lets it charge from zero to hundred percent in 2 hours; the 16MP rear camera; and the 8MP front-facing shooter.
The 360 N4S is expected to be released later in October for about 1199 Yuan ($178). At that price it will have to contend with the likes of the Cool1 Dual and the Redmi Note 4.

… if I can finish it. I need much longer for a level than I thought, and that's really bad for motivation. Initially I wanted to have more than five levels, and now I wonder if I even get to this number.
Gameplay was cut down, too, and several bugs are still there. Worst part is the FPS character controller (inbuilt Unity) which has a severe bug that destroys my gameplay (it allows to slide up(!) a slope if you jump on it). Meh. Of course, scripting my own controller is out of question. I once wrote a character controller as part of my diploma game project – it needed two weeks alone and still doesn't work perfectly.
Well, at least I can provide you with a screenshot. Take this, it's dangerous to go without one!

Press release
Local transport improvement projects get green light
Go-ahead for local transport improvement projects after cost savings found.
Four local authority Private Finance Initiative (PFI) projects moved a step closer after over 21% of cost savings were identified, Transport Minister Norman Baker announced today (24 March 2011).
Central and local government have worked in partnership to save £209 million within the spending review period. This will now allow an extension to the Nottingham tram, together with highways maintenance improvements in Sheffield, Hounslow and the Isle of Wight, to continue to the next stage of the funding approval process.
Norman Baker said:
This government is committed to delivering an effective, sustainable and high quality transport network across the country despite the tough economic conditions.
By vigorously pursuing cost reductions we can invest in a greater number of key local infrastructure projects which help boost the economy and jobs, thanks to the benefits these projects provide in their local areas.
Following the spending review last year, we challenged the four local authorities to look again at the cost of the PFI projects they are promoting to ensure we get maximum value for every pound we spend.
The department has been working closely with the authorities involved to ensure these projects are affordable. I am pleased that they have been able to rise to the challenge and have identified savings of 21% from the original estimated costs.
By finding these savings, I can confirm that we are today allowing these projects to move a step forward within our funding approval process.
The projects can now continue their procurement processes and, subject to approval of a final business case, be able to award the service contracts.
Notes to editors
The Department for Transport press notice issued on 26 October 2010, following the spending review, set out the government's intention to proceed with a number of local authority PFI projects in procurement, subject to ensuring affordability and value for money.
Today's announcement allows the following projects to move forward to the next stage in the funding approval process: Nottingham Express Transit Phase 2; Isle of Wight Highways Maintenance; Sheffield Highways Maintenance; and London Borough of Hounslow Maintenance. Here are the details:
Nottingham Express Transit phase 2
This scheme is being procured as a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain (DBFO) PFI scheme. The first line of Nottingham Express Transit (NET) opened in March 2004 running from the main rail station through the city centre to Hucknall to the north of the city. This project would involve two new extensions:
- the 9.6 km Chilwell and Beeston route would run from the railway station to the south west of the city, serving the ng2 development site, the region's main hospital at the Queens Medical Centre, the University of Nottingham, Beeston town centre and Chilwell before terminating at a new park and ride site serving the A52 and close to junction 25 of the M1.
- the 7.3 km long Clifton route would run from the railway station to the south of the city - it would serve residential areas such as the Meadows and the Clifton Estate before terminating at a new park and ride site serving the A453 (to capture commuters from the M1 south).
Isle of Wight highways maintenance
This scheme will allow Isle of Wight Council to improve the island's infrastructure including roads, footways, street lighting and other aspects that are related to the highway. It includes almost 499 miles of road with 477 miles of footway. The project also includes 12,000 street lights, a number of bridges and other structures.
Sheffield highways maintenance
The project proposed by the council is a comprehensive highway maintenance project designed to achieve a co-ordinated approach to the highway and street scene. The project which the council has called "streets ahead" will encompass the entire highway network in Sheffield, including 1,200 miles of carriageways and 2,000 miles of footways and or bridges and streetlights.
London Borough of Hounslow maintenance
With 458 miles of pavements and 259 miles of roads, Hounslow has a duty to maintain its streets in a safe condition. This project would revitalise the borough's roads, pavements, bridges and other street furniture.

Pilot sewerage scheme for rural villages 'hasn't worked'
A pilot sewerage scheme for rural villages that was introduced over 40 years ago hasn't worked, according to Cllr Ger Darcy.
He revealed at Nenagh MDC that his own village in Ardcroney had been put on the priority list in 1976 but the work was still to be carried out.
"It hasn't worked and we need to make sure Irish Water doesn't just concentrate on big urban areas only," he said.
Director of environment services Matt Shortt said the council had argued with the Department over this "long before Irish Water was set up". He revealed that the pilot scheme Cllr Darcy mentioned had seen only one taker and that was in Tipperary.
"Rural villages were lucky to get the pilot scheme some years back, but it is costly to serve these villages. They are now with Irish Water and I expect they are now a long way down the line," said Mr Shortt.
"The value of a sewerage system to a village is huge and we should try and get funding for schemes," he told councillors.
Meanwhile, Gerry Robinson of the water services department told Cllr Seamus Morris that the council now had way leave into a site behind Keeper View in Nenagh and it will be emptying the septic tank there at no cost to the residents. The waste will go into the new sewer when it is finished, he said.

The Tartaria Tablets
90 comentarii
The famous tables are inscribed with symbols that, at the time of their discovery, were considered to be samples of Sumerian proto-writing. Newest methods of dating them entitled some researchers to state that the tablets could represent the oldest writing in the world. Subsequent radiocarbon dating on the Tãrtãria finds pushed the date of the tablets much further back, to as long ago as
, more than 1000 years before the first Sumerian form of writing.
Tărtăria is a rural village from Romania of 5,000 inhabitants. It is located in Transylvania in the Western area of Romania famous in roman times for its gold mines.
The tablets were found in 1961 at about 30 km from the city of Alba Iulia by Nicolae Vlassa, an archaeologist at the Cluj Museum. At the bottom of a hill in a pit filled with ash he found three inscribed but unbaked clay tablets, together with 26 clay and stone figurines and a shell bracelet, accompanied by the burnt, broken, and disarticulated bones of an adult male.
The real size of the tablets can be observed in the following photography:
The tablets can be found now at the National Transylvanian History Museum from Cluj-Napoca.
If the symbols are indeed a form of writing, then the writing in the Danubian culture would far predate the earliest Sumerian cuneiform script or Egyptian hieroglyphs. They would thus be the world's earliest known form of writing.

The Salt Mine from Cacica

Situated 18km away from

The access road is pretty good with only a few minor tricky parts.
In the village lives also an important Polish community (more than 20% of the population).
has an impressive history, for a small village. Because it is located at the boundary between the mountains and hills regions, the climate made possible the formation of salt deposits many thousands years ago.
The name of "Cacica" has its origins in the Polish "kaczika", meaning "duck", because there used to be many lakes with wild ducks in the region.
The salt extraction was not a mystery in these regions even from the prehistoric ages (many primitive objects used for salt extraction were found by archaeologists).
Cacica Salt Mine is one of the oldest exploitations of salt recrystallized from brine from Europe.
Salt extraction dates back from the period of Cris culture from early Neolithic (5th millennium, before Christ).
Begun by the order of Empress Maria Theresa, the salt mine was manually dug out and opened in 1791.
The salt mine is open to tourist visits. The ticket costs 10 Lei (around 2.5 €) for an adult.
The temperature inside the mine is a constant 10
In the first room, 25-29 meters deep, a Roman-Catholic
chapel was built in 1806 from the initiative of the Polish priest Jakub Bogdanowicz. It's called the Church St. Barbara (Varvara), and was a praying site for all the miners who worked there, and even today service is held. To reach the chapel, you have to go down a ladder with almost 200 steps.
The orthodox chapel

On the right side there is the icon of St. Daniel the Hermit
Adam and Eve, biblical scene.
Further below, more steps… and another gallery (35 meters deep) that leads to a small salty lake manually dug by miners. The Brine Lake is located 42m underground, its dimensions being 10 x 6m and 1,5 - 2,5 m deep. The saturated brine in which salt crystals formed throughout time can be seen in the poor light.
There is a wooden raft on the lake, which used to carry guests invited at the parties organized in the Ball Room.
King Carol I had a row on this raft in 1902.
The young people who were about to get married publicly confirmed their intentions with a row on the lake.
Next comes the Ball room, or festivities room.
The dimensions on the hall are 24x12x6 m. It is manually sculptured and the dowels, which once supported the lightening chandeliers can be seen on the ceiling.
There are 8200 galleries that were all manually dug out, reinforced with wood and in a perfect condition today.
In 1886 the underground transport facilities were modernized. At that time the mine was one of the modern mines of Europe. The productions of salt in 1886 was of around 5500 tones.
At the bottom of the mine there is a sport field with a wooden floor used for volleyball, football or handball.
The giant salt mountain in Cacica can provide enough salt for the entire Europe for the next 400 years!
This is great place to spent a few days in relaxation and cure at the salt mine which treats a lot of pulmonary and rheumatism diseases.
Humor Monastery
86 comentarii
While the
Voronet Monastery
is well known for its frescoes dominated by a distinctive blue color, the Humor Monastery is renowned for the reddish color (obtained from oriental madder pigment) used to paint the biblical scenes on its outer walls.
The master painter responsible for Humor's frescoes, which were painted in 1535, is one
Toma of
Humor Monastery
is located in the village with the same name,
Mănăstirea Humorului
, about 5 km north of the town of
Gura Humorului
. It is a
for nuns dedicated to the Dormition of Virgin Mary. It was constructed in 1530 by Voievod
Petru Rareş
Petru Rares and his wife are both buried in the monastery church as well.
The monastery was built over the foundation of a previous monastery that dated from around 1415. The ruins of the first church of Humor can be found at a distance of 500 meters from the new one.
The monastery, located on the Humor river, is surrounded by hills with forests. The beautiful site attracts thousands of tourists every year. There are numerous accommodation possibilities in the village or even in the Gura Humorului town. The accomodation prices start from 20€ for a double room.
This is a great spot from which you can visit all the famous monasteries from the north of
region of Romania.
The small church, with a wide open porch arched on three sides, has a vault which is similar to the one at
except that the one at Humor seems to be floating, a sample of Byzantine art highly appreciated by architect experts. The open porch is separated from the nave by three columns connected through broken arches which have crossed vaults. The windows frames are Gothic. The open porch with arcades was the first of its kind to be built in
, an innovation influenced by both the local building tradition (veranda, terrace) and the foreign Renaissance (the lodge found later in the Brancovan style). Another innovation is the
(a hidden place) above the burial-vault, precious objects were kept there, especially in difficult times.
The defense tower was built by Vasile Lupu in 1641.
Humor was one of the first of
's painted monasteries to be frescoed and, along with
is probably the best preserved.
The Last Judgment, placed on the wall beneath the unusual open porch, is similar to the Voronet one, but, unfortunately, the Tree of Jesse has been effaced by erosion. The significant difference is that the Devil is portrayed as the Scarlet Woman, though this patch is now so faint, that it has become nearly invisible. Such misogyny had its counterpart in the peasant conception of Hell, assumed to be a cavern upheld by seven old women who had surpassed Satan in wickedness during their lifetimes. Since the women are mortal, the legend goes, the Devil (
) must constantly search the world for replacements - and he never fails to find them.
Another famous exterior painting, Hymn to the Virgin, has been inspired by the poem written by Patriarch Serghei of Constantinople, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is reputed to have saved the city during the attack of the Persians in 626. The Persians are, however, depicted as Turks which is a common device in these monasteries, their paintings being used in part for political propaganda in addition to their spiritual meaning. The Siege of Constantinople, displayed on a large surface, in a central position, also suggests Moldavians' wish to defeat their enemies, the Turks.
If you pay a visit to the
you can also admire or even buy the handicraft objects sold by the locals just outside the monastery walls. Wooden carved icons, colorful
regional costumes, wooden kitchen cutlery and many more handmade objects can be purchased
as a memory of this beautiful place.

British artist Matthew Chambers sculpts stunningly spherical works of art that may seem simple at first, but are quite complex the longer they are perceived. Inspired by Constructivism, architecture and design, Matthew Chambers' sculptures are a geometric vortex of ceramic. An abstract adventure, they pulls their audience into their mesmerizing depth one layer at a time.
Like giant, almost-robotic eyeballs, Matthew Chambers melds natural materials with a contemporary aesthetic that is at once jarring and harmonious. Although mostly working with earthy tones, he does add the ocasional blue and white. In order to create each sculpture, Matthew Chambers adds oxide to the clay before forming the shapes. They are then sanded and polished before and after being fired to ensure the surface becomes opaque, stone-like and soft to the touch.

Fiona Apple's New Album Title Is a 23-Word Poem
Sure, it's 61 words shorter than 'When the Pawn...' but yeesh!
Fiona Apple has announced the title of her ever-elusive, long-awaited follow-up to 2005's Extraordinary Machine, and yes, true to her style, it is 23 words long. The fourth Fiona Apple record will be called The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do. Yup. Still, it's a whole 61 words more concise than the 84-word title of 1999's When the Pawn… We can't wait to start referring to it as The Idler Wheel Is Doing This to Mock Our Desperation.
Fiona has announced two SXSW appearances — where she will be playing songs from this new album — and afterwards, she's embarking on a brief tour to effectively raise fans' blood pressure in anticipation of the record, which still doesn't have a release date, but is probably, kind of, we hope, coming out this spring.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A devoted aide of ex-Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu who was sent to quell protests that sparked the 1989 revolution has died. He was 87.
Emil Bobu died from a heart attack Saturday at a Bucharest hospital, spokesman Leonard Grecescu told The Associated Press on Sunday.
In December 1989, Ceausescu sent Bobu to Timisoara to stamp out an uprising. He failed and days later, he accompanied Ceausescu on a helicopter as he fled angry crowds in Bucharest. Ceausescu and his wife Elena were executed that month.
During his 45-year career, Bobu served as a military prosecutor, interior minister and labor minister.
In 1990, he was sentenced to prison for complicity to genocide, later downgraded to complicity in aggravated manslaughter. He was released in 1993 on health grounds.

Religion іѕ a subject thаt wе encounter daily, еіthеr bесаuѕе wе follow a specific faith аnd thе rules established bу іt, оr bесаuѕе wе meet people whо proclaim thеіr faith unabashed, оr bесаuѕе wе know іt іѕ a taboo subject іn social conversations.

My belief statement is be there for someone else when they need you. Being there for someone is very important. It lets them know that they have friends and people to go to. It makes them confident and able to open themselves up to others when they know they have some to fall back on.
Back in old WWII, what would have happened if we didn't back up the British? All of Europe would have been dominated, and Hitler would be moving on Russia, and then later, Western Nations. Canada would fall first, then we have a choice once again to back them up or leave them stranded, which would ultimately lead to our demise. Once we decided to help out Britain, Russia, Australia, and Canada also jumped onto our side in the fight against Fascism. Because we aided Britain, the Germans were pushed back and the war was won in the Allies' favor.
See, sometimes you just need to be there, even if your friends screwed you over or something, they'll most likely regret it and ask for your help. Just this weekend for example, Tom asked if Joe and I would like to hang out at the mall. We agreed, but then when the time came, Tom didn't show. So, we had a slight grudge against Tom for the rest of the day. Later that night however, Tom calls at around 11:30, asking for a ride home from Dunkin Donuts. Joe and I, of course, recognized it as our secret code, a distress call. So it turns out, after getting home after a long day, we went back out and saved Tom from absolute desperation. After we picked him up, we all enjoyed some Wendy's and then we went home.
I believe that people and countries alike should be there for each other. No matter what has happened or what will happen, we must stand strong alongside one another.

Jack Hammer 2 is a comics-like slot…
With 99 Pay Lines your next Big Win is just around the corner!
Say hello to Sticky Wins – winning combinations are locked in place and the spinning continues.
Just be careful of fishy business and focus on catching the Wild guys.
There was an old saying in the City of Angels during the 50's: When the fish get busy, the business get fishy. No, actually there wasn't; we just made it up.
Jack Hammer 2 takes everything that was fun in the first game adds to that a few dozens bet lines. You've got 99 bet lines now!
The storyline has changed - Pearl is in greater danger now, but worry not, Jack is Back! - but the high win chances are still very much in play.
The Wild symbol - substitutes any other symbol to complete your winning bet line. The Scatter symbol - activates Free Spins. But the real treat here is the Sticky Win feature - any winning combination is locked so during the next spins more winning symbols can stick to the already locked ones. You are basically piling up winning streaks.
Feel-good no deposit bonus slots make us happy. It gets even better with a fetching soundtrack you can dance to, crafty artwork and, did we mention the 99 bet lines?!
|Bet Lines
|Min/Max Bet
|0.50 / 250 coins
|Max Win
|10,000 coins
|Return to Players
|97.1 %
|Hit Frequentcy
|23.6 %
So much is going on here, similarly to the first installment of this hit game: you've got your Wild substitutions, you've got the Sticky Win - winning combinations get locked in place and the spin continues, 'sticking' more Wins to the already locked ones. As for scatter symbols - you need five of them in any position to win Free Spins. Any Wins during Free Spins are tripled - x3.
It's totally up to you, but maybe you wish to consider these play limits, maybe even set some:
Also, take notice of the following:
Jack is back! Jack Hammer makes his long-awaited return in an action-packed mobile slot game with an astonishing 99 bet lines, cartoon-like graphics and a exciting Free Spins round where Jack Hammer tries to save Pearl from a watery danger. The popular Sticky Wins™ feature from the part one of the game is still here and the additional Random Wilds during Free Spins makes this a sure hit.

DESPITE numerous complaints lodged by residents of Pantai Hillpark apartments on the poor road condition in the area, the situation has not improved.
A resident, who wanted to be known only as Rosman, said Jalan Pantai Murni 1 was the only entry and exit route for residents in Phase one to five of Pantai Hillpark apartments.
"The road condition in the area is deplorable. The utility companies that dug up the stretch for upgrading work are doing a poor job of patching up the holes."
Another resident, who wanted to be known only as Sue, said the horrible road condition prevented motorists from slowing down their vehicles.
"It's even more difficult for motorists who drive uphill. I hope the City Hall will do something about it."
A City Hall spokesman said
the council would inspect the road.
"We will check if the utility companies' contractors are carrying out proper repairs along the stretch."
He said the contractors must apply for a permit before digging up the road.
"If the road is not patched up properly, the City Hall will instruct them to redo it."
He said the public could contact the City Hall call centre at 1800-88-3255 or submit a complaint via its website, www. dbkl.gov.my.

A huge crowd gathered Monday night, demanding justice for slain teen Lataevia Williams.
The 14-year-old girl was shot and killed early Sunday morning outside of a birthday house party.
"I don't know nothing. I don't even want to talk about it. I just know that I don't have a daughter no more. That's all that matters," Lataevia's mother, Latonya, tearfully said during the vigil.
The shooting happened just after midnight on Sunday at East 125th and Elberon Avenue on the border of Cleveland and East Cleveland.
Cleveland Police tell 19 Action News there was an argument between people inside the party and people outside in the street. Some of the partygoers went outside, and that is when at least two people opened fired into the crowd.
Lataevia and a 16-year-old boy were both shot in the neck at a party. Lataevia died at University Hospital. The teenage boy is listed in critical condition at University.
No word on any arrests or motive at this time.
"I hope they catch the person that did it," Latonya pleaded.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is facing calls for inquiries, shakeups and even his resignation as he tries to address what a Chicago Sun-Times analysis on Tuesday described as "racial tensions brought to a boil by the Laquan McDonald shooting video."
The mayor, a political careerist who long ago mastered the art of pointing the finger of blame at others, has already fired the police superintendent amid a national outcry over the long-suppressed video of a white police officer shooting an African-American teenager 16 times. Removing Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy is a significant move. But it will not be enough. The calls for Emanuel's resignation are being voiced loudly enough, and consistently enough, that the mayor was forced to address them at the Tuesday press conference where he announced the removal of the superintendent. But Emanuel had no good answer. He simply responded with a curt, "Thank you."
So what are citizens to do?
Unlike many cities, where voters can petition for a recall election and remove a mayor, neither the city of Chicago nor the state of Illinois has established clear provisions for dismissing a mayor before the end of his or her term. That's a notable omission, as Chicago Tribune cartoonist Scott Stantis illustrated by showing Emanuel at a Thanksgiving table announcing "…and I'm thankful Chicago doesn't have mayoral recall."
"Seriously, a state that is corrupt and seemingly proud of it has no laws to impeach or recall crooked pols," Stantis notes with regard to local officials.
Stantis makes a key point. The website Ballotpedia explains that, with the exception of a narrow provision for recalling governors, enacted in 2010 after officials and citizens had struggled to figure out how to remove scandal-plagued Governor Rod Blagojevich, "the Illinois Constitution does not specifically address recall of local officials." While one Illinois city, Buffalo Grove, has experimented with a local recall provision, Chicago lacks an adequate tool kit for holding mayors and city council members to account—just as it lacks term limits for Emanuel and other top officials.

For the second week in a row, no one film took film goers by storm, but a wide variety of films did admirably enough to bring home a tidy sum.
Somewhere a Universal film executive is having a very good weekend. "Fast & Furious," a movie so high concept that it demanded to be made four times, just set a new record for an April release.
In retrospect, it's actually quite amusing that distributor Lionsgate felt compelled to build their campaign for "The Haunting in Connecticut" around the idea that the script was based on a true story. As out front with the concept as they were, one should be forgiven for attempting to ignore the nagging feeling of "really, a true story?" while trying to enjoy the genuinely creepy suspense. The trouble is that at no point does "Haunting's" realness add anything substantive to the plot or our appreciation of the conflict at hand.
In what may be a landmark first, the top three films at this past weekend's box office were all (at least marginally) genre themed releases.
What we have here is some interesting raw footage from an interview with Virginia Madsen, Academy Award nominee and star of Lionsgate's upcoming "The Haunting in Connecticut". Madsen is a pretty fantastic actress, and if you believe this footage, also a huge fan of "scary movies".
The Pang Brothers, who apparently have already directed two Chinese language sequels to their film "The Eye", are prepping a third sequel to be titled "The Child's Eye" (get it), to be shot in 3D. Have any of you guys seen either of the first two sequels?
FOX has picked up the French horror film "Martyrs" for remake, pretty much ensuring that there will not be a good ending to this story. The original "Martyrs" is about a little girl found by cops, who it's revealed was held hostage for years in an abandoned slaughterhouse. There are no signs of abuse or sexual misconduct, but as they start to unravel the mystery of what happened to her, something even stranger starts to appear.
I don't usually report on "Twilight" news, but this tidbit was too interesting to pass up. It seems that Juan Antonio Bayona is in the running to direct the third film in the franchise. Bayona, a Guillermo Del-Toro protege, is the director of last year's "The Orphanage". Even if he did get the job, he'd obviously still be dealing with the source material, and the conveyor belt nature of it all, considering they've already pegged a June 30th, 2010 release. Keep in mind this is the THIRD film, not the second one, which hasn't even started yet.
I'm still really excited for "The Haunting in Connecticut", Lionsgate's late March release, but I'm not super psyched about this clip featuring a bird attack. Why? Well, I'm mighty sick of all the old ghost movie cliches, and the "animal goes apeshit" one is just about as old as they come.
For whatever reason, there is always a ton of interest in horror films when they are purported to be "Based on True Events".

Renewables Pass Nuclear
Share of energy production still growing
Feb 2, 2012 - Bill Opalka - renewablesbiz.com
Has renewable energy passed a threshold it has been seeking for years? It has surpassed nuclear in energy production and inching up on domestic oil production.
That's a According to the most recent issue of the Monthly Energy Review by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), as reported by the SUN DAY Campaign.
During the first quarter of 2011, renewable energy sources (biomass/biofuels, geothermal, solar, water, wind) provided 2.245 quadrillion BTUs of energy or 11.73 percent of U.S. energy production. More significantly, energy production from renewable energy sources in 2011 was 5.65 percent more than that from nuclear power, which provided 2.125 quadrillion BTUs and has remained largely unchanged in recent years. Energy from renewable sources is now 77.15 percent of that from domestic crude oil production, with the gap closing rapidly, the Campaign says.
A recent trend seems to be accelerting.
Looking at all energy sectors (e.g., electricity, transportation, thermal), production of renewable energy, including hydropower, has increased by 15.07 percent compared to the first quarter of 2010, and by 25.07 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2009. Among the renewable energy sources, biomass/biofuels accounted for 48.06 percent, hydropower for 35.41 percent, wind for 12.87 percent, geothermal for 2.45 percent, and solar for 1.16 percent.
Looking at just the electricity sector, according to the latest issue of EIA's Electric Power Monthly, for the first quarter of 2011, renewable energy sources (biomass, geothermal, solar, water, wind) accounted for 12.94 percent of net U.S. electrical generation - up from 10.31percent during the same period in 2010. Non-hydro renewables accounted for 4.74 percent of net U.S. electrical generation.
In terms of actual production, renewable electrical output increased by 25.82 percent in the first three months of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. Solar-generated electricity increased by 104.8 percent, wind-generated electricity rose by 40.3 percent, hydropower output expanded by 28.7 percent, and geothermal electrical generation rose by 5.8 percent.
Only electricity from biomass sources dropped - by 4.8 percent. By comparison, natural gas electrical output rose by 1.8 percent and nuclear-generated electricity increased by only 0.4 percent while coal-generated electricity dropped by 5.7 percent.
"Notwithstanding the recent nuclear accident in Japan, among many others, and the rapid growth in energy and electricity from renewable sources, congressional Republicans continue to press for more nuclear energy funding while seeking deep cuts in renewable energy investments," said Ken Bossong, Executive Director of the SUN DAY Campaign. "One has to wonder 'what are these people thinking?'"
In any case, the debates over the nation's power sources will continue.

WINDBER, Pa. â€â€
Talk about throwing away money. Piles of old coins worth as much as $200,000 were found in a long-abandoned home, including scores that the owner had apparently thrown down a hole in the wall.
Jeff Bidelman, owner of Rare Collectibles near Johnstown, said he was helping the family clean out the house after the death of the owners, who had not lived there for two decades.
He was dragging a bag of old coins down the steps when he noticed the hole in an upstairs wall.
"The woman said when she was a kid, there were always rumors that that's where they threw their money," Bidelman told the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat.
Within minutes of tearing down the first-floor wall below the hole, Bidelman was wading in piles of old coins.
"They think they are going to get $100,000," Bidelman said. "I think they will probably get $200,000."
After sorting through the coins, Bidelman found some minted as early as 1793. Some are worth about $8,500 and have already been posted on the Web for purchase, Bidelman said.
The family's name and the exact location of the home in Windber, about 10 miles southeast of Johnstown, has not been disclosed.
