If you have met this person who used you for money, your status, or for even one of your friends.
If you have ever met this person I hope they didn't get to take much from you while they were in your life. I unfortunately had this person in my life as well and luckily for me it was short lived. I am talking about the user. The guy or girl that wants to keep up with their "image" through someone else's means or their own friends. There is always going to be someone in your life that takes more than they should and it isn't being reciprocated. They could also want you for your friend which can be embarrassing and humiliating. Hopefully you see this person for who they are quickly so you don't waste time, energy, and the oh so important your money!
This person will tell you all the people they know and how much money they have, or used to have. They will cloud your mind with images of pretty things that you are either accustomed too or know you can get, but you save your money instead of spending it on material things. Once they are in your life they start slow and some will even go full force depending how desperate they are in their situation.
In my situation he used to have money and was used to the finer things and then he got laid off. And instead of getting a job right away he sat on his ass for eight months and blew through his savings. Now I know some need a break and I am all for it. But once you take a long break as in more than a month you get used to being off and it makes it harder for you to get back into the work scene. Once he got a new job it didn't pay like he was used too. So when we started to date I was more than willing to pay dutch and not worry about what the guy is supposed to pay according to the golden rule of guys paying for dinner.
But eventually it became me paying for everything. I paid for drinks, dinners, trips, his clothes you name it I even paid for his eye contacts at one point. I love to help people, but once it shows I am being taken advantage of I am quick with my tongue sometimes too quick. And he got the wrath that is me. So he heard some things that dropped him down a notch. In all honesty in the end it was my fault just as much as it was his. I should have known when to stop and he should have told me that I needed to stop as well. But of course my caring nature and his need for the finer things meant this arrangement went on longer than necessary.
Now this goes both ways it can be friends as well who take advantage of you. When you are out and you get drinks and the bartender is busy so you put it on one card and then you are expecting them to get you next drink and they shockingly don't. So once you see a pattern the best thing to do is to talk to them about it. If they become defensive and say you don't love me or things of that nature, run for the hills. If they agree and say I am sorry I can't afford things like I used too. Then change it up. Start doing things that don't require that much money. Because in the end if you really like each other all you need is their company it's not about what you are doing with them it's that you are with them to begin with.

Today will be the calm before the storm, with partly to mostly cloudy skies and rather mild temperatures. After that, a significant winter storm will impact the region very late tonight and through the day on Friday, with widespread heavy snow and windy conditions. Hazardous travel is a certainty, and power outages are possible, especially with very wet snow and wind gusts to 45 mph. Conditions will improve through the weekend, but lake snow showers will linger. A brief period of quiet conditions will return Monday and into Christmas Day, before our next storm system makes its approach.
Forecast for Lakes of the North, site of the this weekend's Winterstart Michigan Cup cross country ski race.
Low pressure developing over the southern Plains is forecast to lift into the Great Lakes region on Thursday, with the storm taking a track close to the Thumb of Michigan. Historically, this scenario is a big snow-maker for just about all of the area, and this will be the case again this time, with snow accumulations in excess of 10 inches expected across northwestern and north-central lower and eastern upper Michigan. Please see our Winter Weather Page for snow accumulation graphics.
Expected snow accumulation fomr 7:00am to 7:00pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
In addition to heavy snow, winds will become very gusty out of the northwest Thursday night into Friday, generate blowing and drifting snow, with significant lake effect snow also possible through the weekend. Power outages are also possible, as much of the snow is expected to be of the heavy, wet variety.
Those with holiday travel plans across the area late in the week, or into the weekend, should keep a close eye on later forecasts as travel across northern Michigan will become hazardous.

On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles broadcast The War of the Worlds on The Mercury Theatre on the Air. The broadcast seemed so authentic that many people, especially those tuning in late, thought that Earth was being invaded by extraterrestrial beings from the planet Mars.
At the time of the broadcast, Welles had already achieved fame on Broadway for his 1937 production of "Caesar". In 1941, he released the movie "Citizen Kane", which is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time.
Believe it or not, some of our friends in Minnesota have a close personal relationship with MARS, which obviously requires a more complete explanation.
In the early 1970's, our friend Dave joined the Air Force. One of his first duty stations was in the Azores, which are a long way from his home state of Minnesota.
While stationed in the Azores, Dave's wife DeeDee became pregnant with their first child. Rebecca, who was born on February 7, 1972. As you might suspect, transatlantic phone calls were notoriously unreliable at that time, so Dave and Denise relied on MARS to let their parents in Minnesota about the birth of their granddaughter.
To give you an idea how crude the system was, I'll let them describe it to you in their own words:
"The MARS shack was located next to the weather balloon launch site on a ridge overlooking Lajes Field airbase, the Island of Terceira, Azores, Portugal. Our operator connected to a Ham operator in Ohio, who called long distance to St. Paul. Every phrase we uttered ended with "Over!".
MARS is an acronym for the Military Auxiliary Radio System, and it has existed since November.1925, Originally known as the Auxiliary Amateur Radio System, the name was changed to the Military Affiliate Radio System in 1952. In 2009, the name was again changed to the Military Auxiliary Radio System.
The system was designed to provide better communication options for members of the military, and it is supported by a series of licensed amateur radio operators. It still exists today, in spite of the many other communication options that we now have.
NASA has done an admirable job of surveying the planet Mars, and has determined that there was likely some type of life forms on the planet at some point in the past. It is highly doubtful there were ever any INTELLIGENT life forms at any time in the past. However, if you have seen the movie "Idiocracy" is also apparent that there are even places in our country that are lacking in INTELLIGENT life forms.
Since its introduction in 1967 (as ARPANET) the internet has revolutionized life on our planet. Believe or not, however, it IS possible to send an internet message to the planet Mars. The official name for the network is the NASA Deep Space Network, and it relies on a series of satellites. Even though the communications travel at the speed of light, the vast distance between Earth and Mars means that messages can take anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes, which would make it virtually impossible to carry on a phone conversation of any kind.
Despite their early exposure to MARS, Dave and Denise have suffered no long term ill effects. In fact, they just celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary.
A perfect ending to this story, of course, would be that they have since traveled to Roswell, New Mexico in their Saturn, and this is where truth gets stranger than fiction.
In the early 1990's, they bought a brand new first generation Saturn. Also at some point in the distant past, they actually DID travel to Roswell, and actually spent two nights in the town. I'm actually not sure if they went there in their Saturn, but the possibility does exist.
And that's all that I have to say …………….

under George W. Bush.
Let's begin with this excellent clarification of what ZDF actually claimed: And it actually was the case that all of a sudden this morning helper personnel showed up here, people who cleared away the rubble, who went through the houses in search of bodies, but exclusively along the route where the President travelled. Two hours ago the President left Biloxi again, and all of the helper personnel along with him.
OK, did you get that? The man who came to town to view the devastation either saw it from a 2500ft up or after it had been given a proper dusting. (The words beautiful mind spring to mind, but you also have to keep in mind that journalists have been asked if they wouldn't mind not showing the recovery of bodies. It boggles the… something.)
But it gets worse. In my last post on this subject I highlighted the staff and equipment waylaid by these 'helpful' visits from The Backdrop President.
Today…. oh, I can't even continue for fear of breaking my teeth. Here are the links:
Frustrated: Fire crews to hand out fliers for FEMA: But as specific orders began arriving to the firefighters in Atlanta, a team of 50 Monday morning quickly was ushered onto a flight headed for Louisiana. The crew's first assignment: to stand beside President Bush as he tours devastated areas.
Firefighters thought they were going to be deployed: Instead told to hand out fliers, stand beside President Bush as he tours devastated areas
The Potemkin President I
The Potemkin President II
FEMA puts firefighters to work – as props for Bush
I'm going to take you back to the original article now for this whopper: On Monday, some firefighters stuck in the staging area at the Sheraton peeled off their FEMA-issued shirts and stuffed them in backpacks, saying they refuse to represent the federal agency. Federal officials are unapologetic. "I would go back and ask the firefighter to revisit his commitment to FEMA, to firefighting and to the citizens of this country," said FEMA spokeswoman Mary Hudak. The firefighters – or at least the fire chiefs who assigned them to come to Atlanta – knew what the assignment would be, Hudak said.
Talk about a lack of gratitude. They'll be complaining about having to carry the 'Mission Accomplished' banner next.
(Actually, I'm with Atrios on this one: So, if you object to having yourself be flown across the country so you can be a human prop for the president instead of actually using your skills to help the citizens of this country then you need to revisit your commitment to "the citizens of this country." Fascist.)

This a very cool photograph, because first, I love BLUE and BLACK, and that combined and this photo with the trees is overly awesome.

Financing Guidelines
The primary objective of Bertelsmann's financial policy is to achieve a balance of financial security, return on equity and growth. For this, Bertelsmann bases its financing policy on the requirements of a Baa1/BBB+ credit rating and the associated qualitative and quantitative criteria. Credit ratings and capital market transparency make a considerable contribution to the company's financial security and independence.
In accordance with the Group structure, the capital allocation is made centrally by Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, which provides the Group companies with liquidity and manages the issuance of guarantees and letters of comfort for them. The Group consists largely of a single financial unit, thereby optimizing capital procurement and investment opportunities.
Bertelsmann utilizes a financial control system employing quantitative financial targets concerning the Group's economic debt and, to a lesser extent, its capital structure. One key financial target is a dynamic leverage factor, calculated as the ratio of economic debt to Operating EBITDA over a twelvemonth period and limited to a maximum of 2.5. Economic debt is defined as net financial debt less 50 percent of the nominal capital of the hybrid bonds plus provisions for pensions, profit participation capital and the net present value of operating leases. Like operating EBITDA, economic debt is modified for calculation purposes. As of June 30, 2016, economic debt was €6,274 million (December 31, 2015: €5,609 million). The increase is primarily attributable to the significantly higher pension provisions and similar obligations as a result of the significant reduction in the interest rate. As of June 30, 2016, the leverage factor was 2.7 (December 31, 2015: 2.4).
Due to seasonal influences, net financial debt increased to €2,954 million compared to €2,765 million as of December 31, 2015. The increase is partly attributable to dividend payments to shareholders and non-controlling interests, most of which were made during the first half of the year.
Financing Activities
With a view to the pending maturities in the second half of 2016, Bertelsmann placed a ten-year benchmark bond in April 2016 with an issue volume of €500 million. The bond is listed in Luxembourg and has a fixed coupon of 1.125 percent. Furthermore, in June 2016, as part of a private placement, Bertelsmann also issued a promissory note in the amount of €200 million with a two-year term.
Bertelsmann has issuer ratings from Moody's and S&P. Bertelsmann is rated by Moody's as Baa1 (outlook: stable) and by S&P as BBB+ (outlook: stable). Both credit ratings are in the investment-grade category and meet Bertelsmann's target rating. Bertelsmann's short-term credit quality rating is P-2 from Moody's and A-2 from S&P.
Cash Flow Statement
In the reporting period, Bertelsmann generated cash flow from operating activities of €751 million (H1 2015: €343 million). The Group's long-term operating free cash flow, adjusted for special items, was €718 million (H1 2015: €434 million). The cash flow from investing activities was €-502 million compared to €-817 million in the same period last year. The deviation results primarily from the funding in the same period last year of the plan assets held under the trusteeship of Bertelsmann Pension Trust e. V. which amounted to €400 million. At €276 million, cash flow from financing activities was below the high level of the previous year (H1 2015: €595 million). Cash and cash equivalents increased to €1,811 million as of June 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015: €1,310 million), primarily as a result of the issuing of bonds.

In the first half of 2016, according to the cash flow statement, investments totaled €603 million (H1 2015: €514 million). Investments in intangible assets came to €212 million (H1 2015: €126 million) and were attributable primarily to RTL Group for investments in film rights and to BMG for the acquisition of music catalogs. As in the same period last year, a large portion of the investments in property, plant and equipment, totaling €129 million (H1 2015: €150 million), stemmed from Arvato. The sum of €134 million was invested in financial assets (H1 2015: €165 million). Purchase price payments for consolidated investments (less acquired cash and cash equivalents) totaled €128 million in the reporting period (H1 2015: €73 million) and were primarily attributable to investments in Smartclip and Groupe Cerise.
Balance Sheet
Total assets came to €23.4 billion as of June 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015: €22.9 billion). The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in financial liabilities. Due to reduced interest rates, pension provisions increased significantly to €2.3 billion (December 31, 2015: €1.7 billion). Equity was €9.0 billion compared to €9.4 billion as of December 31, 2015. This resulted in an equity ratio of 38.4 percent (December 31, 2015: 41.2 percent). Due to the interest rate related revaluation of the provisions for defined benefit pension plans, equity declined to €9.0 billion compared to €9.4 billion as of December 31, 2015. This resulted in an equity ratio of 38.4 percent (December 31, 2015: 41.2 percent). Cash and cash equivalents increased to €1,811 million as of June 30, 2016, compared to €1,310 million as of December 31, 2015.
As of June 30, 2016, Bertelsmann had 114,710 employees worldwide.

I am now 24 and I've just recalled that I still have a blog, so I might as well write something.
I was just talking with mum, as I sometimes do, about how it was to have kids and the actual birth itself. With absolute easy and with some amusement, she told me the following (note that I was her second child):
1 - She went to the beach on the 10th. I was born September 11th, 1986, around 10am. As she recalls, she "dragged her large belly" to beach because it had been such a nice summer, and she had done "this whole kid business" before, so why not enjoy it? Gotta love her.
2 - When her contractions started, instead of rushing to the hospital like she did with my brother, she proceeded to clean every corner of the house, because bending down/being on all fours helps...and the house sure got nice and tidy.
3 - The reason why she stayed in as long as possible was to "avoid all the other pregnant women" because "it's completely mental in there". So, instead of being stuck for days on end in a cold, possibly quite uncomfortable hospital, she waited comfortably (or as comfortably as you can while having extreme pain and cleaning your house) and around 1am, off she went. Her warning: "Se eu gritar, deixem-me gritar. Quando eu sentir que preciso de ir para o hospital, aviso."
4 - I was born in the morning, with almost no effort. She stayed 3 extra days in the hospital, because I was born on a friday (less people working on weekends, means she only got cleared the following monday). She was "surprised, but delighted" to find I was quite tall.
5 - She never had any morning sickness - or any queasiness at all, for that matter - during the pregnancy. The only thing that was hard to deal with was the kicking. Why? In the later stages, kids "turn" inside the belly, which meant the feet are nearer to the chest. Because I was quite big, each time I kicked her, she almost couldn't breathe. Yikes.
6 - I wasn't planned. But she wasn't surprised when the doctor said she was pregnant. She was surprised "and very relieved!" that it was just one kid. My grandfather had a twin, so it could happen to her. She now believes that because she "escaped" having twins, that it might happen to either me or my brother. Huzzah. I think. Hm.
7 - My name was decided as soon as she heard the words "it's a girl" at 20-something weeks. She had to fight to have her way, though, because my dad opposed greatly to it, so the compromise was each got to give me a first name. Which, if you consult my identity card, resulted in a ridiculous clusterfuck.
So, what about you all? What did your mothers tell you about their pregnancies?

Former pastor's history under scrutiny after forcible touching charges
Rochester, N.Y. (13WHAM) - Paul Burress gained widespread attention three years ago after implementing mixed martial arts, or MMA, fighting into the church he where he served as a pastor.
On Friday, Burress, a former pastor at Victory Church in Henrietta, was arrested and charged with two counts of forcible touching, a misdemeanor. According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the charges are brought on by two people and involve alleged incidents from this past February.
According to a member of the church's leadership, Burress resigned for unknown reasons in July 2017. Until then, he had been a part of Victory Church for several years.
Since Burress' arrest, 13WHAM has received several calls from people claiming to be victims of Burress' crimes, as well as a call from another claiming to be one of the two people pressing charges against Burress.
Other callers include people who say they were members of Victory Church for several years, adding they aren't surprised by Burress' arrest. They also claim church leadership knew of Burress' questionable behavior in the past and didn't anything about it.
Various websites on the Internet outline past allegations of Burress' questionable behavior. But like these current charges against him, they are unsubstantiated.
13WHAM visited Burress at his home and called several times for a comment on the allegations, but there was no answer. 13WHAM reached out to Victory Church for comment; they have yet to answer.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has not released any more information on the investigation. Police have also not verified if the people pressing charges against Burress are current or former members of Victory Church.
This is a developing story. Stay with 13WHAM for more information as it becomes available.

Troubled teens head into the woods to salvage their lives
It sounds like a typical summer camp outing. A group of teenagers hike into the forest with tents, tarps and other gear they'll need for survival strapped to their backs.
In the wilderness, they learn to use a compass, erect a shelter, build a fire and read a map. Under the guidance of their counselors, they will spend several days convening with nature and each other and learn practical skills and life lessons.
Only these are not average teenagers looking for summer adventure and escape. These are troubled teens, and they aren't confronting nature for the fun of it. In fact, most haven't chosen to confront nature at all. Instead, their parents have sent them to the great outdoors hoping that the experience will get their wayward children back on track.
Parents who don't want to send their children to boot camps, residential therapy or outpatient treatment--or who have tried these options and seen them fail--are increasingly turning to wilderness programs in the hope that they will provide a positive learning experience and determine whether their children need further treatment.
Although most of these programs have been around for a couple of decades, parents are now turning to them more frequently, in part because of a lack of quality government-financed mental health care services in the United States. In 1999, the Office of the Surgeon General reported a "dearth of child psychiatrists, appropriately trained clinical child psychologists or social workers" to treat American children and adolescents.
Many professionals say the situation has gotten worse. "There's a severe scarcity for mental health care services in general," said Dr. Lourdes Rigual-Lynch, director of mental health for the New York Children's Health Project.
Wilderness programs aim to use time in nature to teach teenagers self-reliance and introspection and to show them the consequences of their behavior. In addition to outdoor activities like hiking and rock climbing, programs often include group and individual therapy and a daily opportunity for reflection on dealing with life challenges. According to the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs, 5,235 students attended accredited wilderness programs in 2006.
Marvin Goldberg, an independent educational consultant in Cambridge, Mass., said the wilderness option "has really taken off." With life becoming increasingly complicated and stressful for teenagers and with diminished local treatment choices, Goldberg said, "families just get so frustrated that they look for other alternatives."
Frustrated is exactly how Karen Marchetti felt after residential therapy and outpatient treatment had failed to help her 17-year-old daughter, Christine, who frequently broke rules at home, used drugs and ran away for eight months.
At the suggestion of law enforcement officials, Marchetti, who lives in a suburb of Phoenix, looked into the ANASAZI program in Mesa, Ariz. She was impressed with the staff and their philosophy. "You got an immediate feeling that people were calm and understanding," Marchetti said. After seeing more traditional programs fail, Marchetti liked the ANASAZI philosophy that "change has to come from inside the person," she said.
Although Christine was resistant at first, she stayed out on the trail for nearly eight weeks. She no longer uses drugs, has a much better relationship with her family and has completed her high school equivalency test.
Although research in this field is relatively new, Keith Russell, the director of the Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare Research Cooperative, has studied the effectiveness of these programs. The method is not a panacea for all children, he said, but it certainly helps many and also provides a good assessment of a teenager's needs.
"The main core philosophy," Russell said, "is getting kids out of their core comfort zones and making [them] take a look at themselves objectively."
Figuring out which options are best can be overwhelming to families facing a crisis. Many parents in need turn to people like Lon Woodbury, an independent educational consultant, for direction on where to send their kids.
Woodbury understands the options firsthand. Fourteen years ago, Woodbury sent his daughter, Kristie Henley, then 17, to the Explorations wilderness program in Montana because she was "destroying her life," he said, by hanging out with unsavory characters, letting her grades slip and running away.
Although Henley didn't want to go, she returned with what Woodbury described as "a positive attitude on self-improvement" and helped pick out a therapeutic boarding school to attend in order to continue her therapy.
"In a sense, we had our daughter back," Woodbury said.
Helping families deal with troubled teenagers has become a big business. Wilderness programs usually run for three to eight weeks and generally cost around $350 to $500 a day. Insurance may cover some of the fees, but parents often have to take out loans to make the payments.
Not everyone is sold on the benefits of such programs. Todd Hockenbury, who has worked for 12 years in the therapeutic boarding school business, said that, because most teenagers go on to such schools after attending wilderness programs, families would save time and money if they skipped the wilderness programs.
"Why would you put the kid in the program for 30 days when they have to go to a therapeutic boarding school anyway?" Hockenbury said. "In my opinion, it's a waste of money."
Maia Szalavitz, a former drug addict and author of "Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids," is also skeptical, particularly because there hasn't been much research on the effectiveness of the programs. She believes that parents have become terrified because society has begun to "pathologize normal adolescent behavior." As a result, many are turning toward treatment options that haven't been thoroughly evaluated.
While Szalavitz thinks some of these programs can be helpful, she advises parents to be wary.
"We just don't know that it works," she said. "To claim that it does based on the stories of some people just isn't science."
But for parents like Marchetti and Woodbury, and even for many former students who have completed wilderness programs, the investment has been worthwhile.
Henley, who struggled with isolation and self-image issues, is a believer. She said she would never forget the first time she created a fire on her own 17 years ago.
"It's a sense of accomplishment," Henley said. "You still carry that sense of pride with you."

The GeoRasters package is a python module that provides a fast and flexible tool to work with GIS raster files. It provides the GeoRaster class, which makes working with rasters quite transparent and easy. In a way it tries to do for rasters what GeoPandas does for geometries.
It includes tools to
- Merge rasters
- Plot rasters
- Extract information from rasters
- Given a point (lat,lon) find its location in a raster
- Aggregate rasters to lower resolutions
- Align two rasters of different sizes to common area and size
- Get all the geographical information of raster
- Create GeoTiff files easily
- Load GeoTiff files as masked numpy rasters
pip install git+git://github.com/ozak/georasters.git pip install georasters
Example Usage: GeoRasters
import georasters as gr # Load data raster = './data/slope.tif' data = gr.from_file(raster) # Plot data data.plot() # Get some stats data.mean() data.sum() data.std()
Example Usage: Other functions
import georasters as gr # Get info on raster NDV, xsize, ysize, GeoT, Projection, DataType = gr.get_geo_info(raster) # Load raster data = load_tiff(raster) # Find location of point (x,y) on raster, e.g. to extract info at that location col, row = gr.map_pixel(x,y,GeoT[1],GeoT[-1], GeoT[0],GeoT[3]) value = data[row,col] # Agregate raster by summing over cells in order to increase pixel size by e.g. 10 gr.aggregate(data,NDV,(10,10)) # Align two rasters data2 = load_tiff(raster2) (alignedraster_o, alignedraster_a, GeoT_a) = gr.align_rasters(raster, raster2, how=np.mean) # Create GeoRaster A=gr.GeoRaster(data, GeoT, nodata_value=NDV) # Load another raster NDV, xsize, ysize, GeoT, Projection, DataType = gr.get_geo_info(raster2) data = load_tiff(raster2) B=gr.GeoRaster(data2, GeoT, nodata_value=NDV) # Plot Raster A.plot() # Merge both rasters and plot C=B.merge(A) C.plot()
Find a bug? Report it via github issues by providing
- a link to download the smallest possible raster and vector dataset necessary to reproduce the error
- python code or command to reproduce the error
- information on your environment: versions of python, gdal and numpy and system memory

Viva la Waffle on the side of the road after hours in Lafayette, Lousiana. He and business partner Fred opened the Viva la Waffle truck in July of 2011. They were only open five days when an electrical fire burned the cabin and shut them down for three months. But as the saying goes, you can't keep a good man down. The guys re-opened with a bang and have been serving their famous waffle sandwiches ever since.
Take a buttermilk brined fried chicken breast, slop a spicy honey drizzle over it and throw in some blue cheese buttermilk slaw in between two waffles and you'll have "The Roscoe," which is purported to be the best selling ticket item on the truck. So waffle sandwiches, right? The waffle recipe uses more yeast than most, causing to be a little crispier, and, well, breadier than the waffle you grew up with. Chef Collin has stirred the proverbial pot a bit with his braised beef cheeks, cotija, chile lime sour cream, shredded lettuce and tomato in a waffle sandwich but he has flavors for every palette. Check out the nod to Elvis with the "Viva Las Vegas": peanut butter, berry compote, sliced bananas and candied bacon in a waffle sandwich.
They gave me a great story about an ancient waffle cart in New Orleans that sold four waffles for five cents, but you're going to have to buy the cookbook to get the rest of the story... Till then, Viva la Waffle! Follow them @vivalawaffle or like 'em on the fb

5 things you might not know about…Russell Howard
- Brian Donaldson
- 11 June 2009
- Having made a steady name for himself with shows such as Skylarking, Adventures and Wandering, to become an Edinburgh Fringe staple, the Bristolian comic announced last year that he would no longer be doing the August sweatboxes. He felt bad at the prospect of selling out a large theatre over the course of a month while his comedy pals were struggling in the smaller venues: 'stealing from my mates' is how he described it.
- Instead, Howard will use this summer to record the pilot episode for BBC3 first's topical comedy show. The Beeb3 bosses want him as he's dead popular with that channel's young fanbase.
- Having dabbled with writing jokes and thinking about doing stand-up, he was inspired to plunge headlong into the comedy world when a guy he knew at school died in a car crash at the age of 18. Life, Howard rightly deemed, was just too short.
- Howard studied economics at Bristol Uni but got away from numbers as quickly as he possibly could.
- The show he is touring now, Dingledodies, takes its name from a line in Jack Kerouac's On the Road, which describes 'the mad ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing.'

Ok...the shipping and time frame of getting the shirt was ridiculous. I ordered on nov.9 and receipt showed product to ship by the 14th.. however after contacting your company on the 19th it had still not shipped and was told that it would be expedited. Still did not receive the item until the 29th which was two days past the day that I actually needed the item for. To take 20 days and 15 passed what I was expecting to have it in, made it to where the birthday present was all screwed up and will now have to be pushed back to Christmas. I will never use your company again because this is completely unsatisfactory and ridiculous that was not resolved or taken care of in a timely manner even after I contacted with plenty of time to fix or get the item to me on time. The product is very nice but the service and shipping deserves a negative.

Guido Borelli da Caluso By Debra Argen-Nesta firstname.lastname@example.com 203-358-9701 Artist Guido Borelli da Caluso was born in 1952, in Caluso, Italy at the foothills of the Italian Alps. Born into an artistic family, (his grandfather was a woodcarver and furniture maker, and his paternal uncle and aunt paint) young Guido first discovered painting somewhere between the ages of 4 to 6 years old. With the encouragement of his family, Guido�s first art challenge came at age 13 in the form of a public award. Although he did not win this art award, he continued to make artistic strides, and had his first personal art exhibit at the young age of 17. He received his art training at Accademia Albertina, in Turin, which...

When then Senator Obama was running for president, he pledged to cut the deficit in half, yet the national debt has more than doubled since he took office. On February 13, 2012, President Obama released his FY2013 budget request. His $3.8 trillion budget proposal for FY2013 marks the fourth straight year of a projected deficit over $1 trillion. It increases spending, taxes, and the deficit. On Wednesday, March 28, 2012, the House unanimously rejected President Obama's FY2013 budget proposal by a vote of 414-0.
Each year, Congress is responsible for setting the federal budget and appropriating funds for all government functions. It has been nearly three years since the Senate has passed a federal budget. The last time the Senate passed a budget was on April 29, 2009, when the total national debt was $11.15 trillion. Today, the total national debt is $15.2 trillion.
Debt of this level will stifle our economic growth. The solution for reviving our economy is straightforward: cut job-destroying government spending to allow employers to create jobs.

More on Budget
Washington, DC – Today Congressman Smith voted for a balanced budget amendment (H.J. Res. 2) to the Constitution to restore fiscal responsibility and accountability to federal government spending. The proposal for a balanced budget amendment did not pass in the House with a vote of 233-184.
WASHINGTON – Today Congressman Lamar Smith (TX-21) voted in support of the final Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which raises take-home pay and creates jobs. The bill passed 227-203.
Rep. Smith: "Today we kept our promise to the American people by passing pro-family, pro-growth tax reform for working Americans. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is the biggest update to the tax code in more than 30 years. The bill creates jobs, reduces taxes and gives bigger paychecks to families.
Washington, DC – Today Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) voted in support of the final budget for FY2018 (Senate Amendment to the FY2018 Budget Resolution) which establishes the budget for the United States government for fiscal year 2018 and sets budget levels for the next ten years. The budget passed by a vote of 216-212.
Washington, DC – Today Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) voted in support of H. Con. Res. 71, which establishes the budget for the United States government for fiscal year 2018 and sets forth budget levels for fiscal years 2019 through 2027. The budget passed by a vote of 219-206.
Washington, DC – Congressman Lamar Smith (TX-21) released the following statement today after the Administration released the Fiscal Year 2018 budget.
Rep. Smith: "President Trump is keeping his promises to build a strong military, secure the border, cut taxes and lower deficits. The President's plan balances budget and reins in federal spending programs that ballooned under the Obama administration."
U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith made his way to San Marcos Wednesday to visit with constituents and deliver an update on what is happening in Washington.
This is not unusual for Smith, as he visits the Record at least twice a year — even in the years, like this one, that he isn't running for re-election. These visits are not only informative, but also greatly appreciated by the journalists and management of this newspaper.
Washington, DC – Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today released the following statement after voting in support of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017, which passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 277-147.
Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today released the following statement after voting in favor of S. Con. Res. 11, the FY2016 Budget Resolution, a bill substantially similar to the balanced budget the House approved just weeks ago.
Congressman Smith: "This is the first time in six years that the House and Senate have come together to pass a budget. Fixing our broken system starts with balancing our budget, establishing priorities and reining in out-of-control spending. That is exactly what this bill does.
Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) released the following statement in recognition of today's federal tax filing deadline and in support of several tax measures expected to pass in the House of Representatives this week.
Congressman Smith: "Today is tax day, a day that many Americans have come to fear and loathe. As the current administration has drastically increased spending, many on the left have demanded more and more taxes to pay for this excessive spending.
Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today released the following statement after voting in favor of H.Con. Res. 27, A Balanced Budget for a Stronger America, which passed in the House of Representatives:
Congressman Smith: "For the sixth year in a row, President Obama has handed Congress a tax-and-spend, big-government budget that never balances. It ignores our growing national debt and punishes hard-working taxpayers.

Surf school located in Costa da Caparica, Lisbon's closest surf spots and one of the most popular in Portugal. Costa da Caparica is one of the most popular beaches in Portugal and where many surf schools are located. These beach breaks are ideal for beginners. Surfing in Costa da Caparica can be mellow and relaxed which is perfect for surf lessons and beginners, but there are plenty of surf spots for advanced and intermediary surfers, especially those within the jetties that produce one hell of a wave featuring surf contests. You'll often find Costa da Caparica in the cover of many Portuguese surf magazines during the winter time.
If you're living in Lisbon area, or travelling around, then Costa da Caparica is one of the top choices for you. This is the ideal surf school for those staying in Lisbon and where you'll get to learn the basics in a safe environment without any sort of "localism".
Our surf school has surf courses for beginners that want to have the very first surfing experience or for those that look to improve their surf skills.
Caparica surf school and its surf camp organize surf lessons, summer camps for children, group events and surfaris for those who want to combine the best guidance with accommodation. Besides surf lessons we also offer lodging, transport, food and any other needs you might have in mind during your surf holidays. Caparica Surf Camp is located in Costa da Caparica 2 minutes from the beach where we hold our surf lessons most of the times.
Costa da Caparica is a small little town but do not get fooled by the size of the city because this is probably one of the longest stretches of beach that Portugal has to offer with plenty of surf spots around.
There are several types of breaks to suit all tastes, but mostly beach breaks and point breaks created by the jetties and seawalls.
Our certified and experienced surf instructors are local surfers who know where to surf in Costa da Caparica. There are many surf spots that work with completely different conditions of wind and swell, so there's always a break with waves to be surfed within 15 or 20 minutes distance.
Costa da Caparica has around 20 kms of beaches so finding a surf spot is not difficult at all! The northern part of Costa da Caparica has many jetties that result in a variety of point breaks type waves and also add stability to the sand bars such as Cova do Vapor and Praia do CDS. Down south you'll have for example Praia da Mata one of the many open beaches the offer fun, uncrowded surf for all sort of skills from beginner level to pro level.

This fun: watching the race to the top of the mountain of a fresh new market.
The latest blogging buzz is about "mobile phone social networking". Here's a good short story from the Wall Street Journal's Gary Fowler.
- There are a LOT OF THEM around the world. The English language buzz is about the American start-ups. But you can bet on dozens of similar ones already operating in countries around the globe.
- Fowler choose these start-ups to discuss:
- Color recently raised $41 million from top tier VCs. That's one reason for the WSJ story.
- GroupMe is in New York City, all the rest are in the San Francisco Bay area. They have raised $11.5 million
- Path raised $11.2 million
- Instagram raised $7.5 million
- Yobongo raised $1.35 million
- Gorilla's from other spaces have acquired mobile phone social networking start-ups. In 2007, Google purchased ZingKu.
- This space is not new. It dates back at least to the mid 2000s. But the new space is not yet dominated by one company. This 2008 article has names that are no longer around who attempted to get started early. That is how each embryonic market operates: the pioneers die and are followed by others who learn from their painful failures. Who will get it right this time?
- Note the timing of the launch of services mentioned by Fowler: late 2010 to early 2011. All in the same quantum of time. That's a lot of competition all at once. It will take time for consumers to figure them out, try a few and make usage decisions before spreading the word. Watch to see if any one can "go viral" within a year from now and how it happens.
Watch this new space to see who will continue to modify on-the-fly their business until it begins to soar. End users then will be flocking to that business instead of the dozens of alternatives. That is difficult to do. But it is how it is done. Daily and weekly tweaks, quick feedback and instant decisions to change, alter, modify are done by the core team. That's where we get the metaphoric statement "Doing a start-up is like riding a bicycle while you are riding it." When all the pieces of the engine start working together, the business begins to soar and accelerate away from competitors.
- Note how the reporter selected start-ups with money from blue chip investors and contrasted it with a start-up that has raised a fraction of the funds of its competitors.
- The story headlines were reached only after enough competitors had news worth writing about.
- Differences between the start-ups is central to reporters developing their stories. That's what "positioning" is all about, and why focus is so important to new enterprises.
- What makes the start-up compelling is key to the story telling. That's the "WOW!" factor I've been writing about. Boring does not get you into stories.
- Short and sweet. That's what the writers want to hear from you. And it's what VCs look for in your elevator pitch. Prospective employees want to leave with that in their brains.
BOTTOM LINE: Watch this new race to learn from the contenders. It's going to be exciting. Google in the space and you'll get over 5 million responses. It is going to be huge. The eventual gorilla is going to do amazing things. Learn and apply that to your start-up. It is a great way to learn how to build an unfair competitive advantage.
I wish you The Best with your Adventure!

We were at a street fair today because, I mean, it's a Saturday in Saskatoon, right? There was one of those adopt-a-puppy cages and we went STRAIGHT THERE and I was like, E, do you want to pet a puppy? And she was like, really?
And then she was like, Okayyyyy...
And then she was like, PAT PAT PAT
And then she was like, Move, big kid. These puppies need a proper pattin'.
And at these sorts of street fairs there is usually a belly dancer or two
and Eleanor is always really into them.
This fair also had a hoola-hoop dancer who was Very Serious About Her Craft.
Eleanor drove the fire truck
and had a sip of free slurpee (which did not really jive with her)
and tried to feed a sheep some grass.
Then we came home and cleaned the house and I made her sweep because she drops the most food.
All in all, a good day.

The Village Reporter
The Pioneer Village Council had an interesting guest during its recognition of visitors at the governing body's May regular meeting.
Tracie Thorp, of Lake Pioneer Condominiums, owned by Thorp Norman Real Estate, made an appearance at the meeting, hoping to have a roadway receive an official name and title of road from the village. Council members and Mayor Ed Kidston, however, refused to do so, stating that the driving path was never built to be a road in the first place.
"We're not going to accept the street until it's brought up to standard." Kidston explained.
Thorp argued that the roadway, which she dubbed Riverview, was in fact a road, and that not recognizing it as such could lead not only to inconvenience to those who live on it, but confusion amongst fire departments and police forces having to handle a situation in the area. Issues involving the lack of a proper address, ranging from Riverview residents not receiving their mail to safety concerns regarding fires and crime were brought up by the property owner.
Kidston had a simple solution to those problems, however.
"Those homes sit on Lakeshore Drive." The mayor referenced the primary road running through Lake Pioneer Condos.
Continuing to state that this was in fact not true, Thorp never relented in her claim that Riverview deserves a name. The council consider it little more than a driveway, though.
"You could have built a road." Expressed Kidston. "You can do it today."
While the debate got a bit heated between the two parties, neither side allowed their frustration to get the better of them, and the proper time and respect was given for everyone to speak.
A contract was awarded for the First Street renovation project. After months of planning and raising funds, as well as procuring grants for the million dollar plan, things will soon be moving forward with the repaving of the street in question. Gerken Paving, a company out of Napoleon, was named the recipient of the contract.
Large Trash Day has come and gone in the village of Pioneer, and Village Administrator Al Fiser reported the results to the members of the council. Nineteen and a half tons of trash was removed by the village. The cost to accomplish this task was roughly $1,400.
The council ended the meeting by entering into Executive Session to discuss possible litigation. No action was expected.

Getting the Most from Paid Search Advertising (PPC)
Paid-advertising with Google AdWords, Facebook, Twitter or any of the emerging platforms is a necessary evil if you want your agency to be profitable. The trouble is that the sellers of pay-per-click or PPC advertising make the process seem like a piece of cake to the degree that it's all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking you've got a handle on it when you haven't.
The benefits of PPC are significant because you are always guaranteed great visibility and positioning on search results pages - if you know what you're doing that is.
There are an abundance of options and techniques for PPC advertising making the world of marketing difficult to navigate in the 21st Century, which is why care has to be taken to avoid what can quickly become very expensive mistakes. Nevertheless, a little healthy PPC advertising can go a long way to generate new leads and boost your profits.
Beware of Expensive Mistakes
As mentioned above, PPC advertising can seem easy when you're first looking into it and that's naturally because the purveyors of this potentially very expensive form of advertising are seeking to maximize your ad spend. It is incredibly easy to make simple mistakes and once the PPC campaign is launched and the clicks start coming, each click represents more money evaporating from your advertising spend.
For a start, it's very easy to bid on the wrong keywords, particularly in the real estate sector which has such a wide vocabulary of its own. With such a huge industry covering the whole of the country, it's too easy to assume you know what the keywords will be for someone searching for property services. It's also important to remember that the advances of technology allow for intelligent questioning on search engines and that means user queries are becoming more and more specific.
How Search Engines Work is Constantly Changing
There are also rapidly increasing numbers of search enquiries using voice-recognition, with people dictating their questions to Google from their smartphones. That means that where keywords were king in the past and nothing else mattered, now it's all about key phrases and that has completely changed the face of how PPC advertising works today. When you make mistakes in choosing the settings for your PPC campaign you end up driving the wrong kind of traffic to your website, wasting valuable clicks in the process.
Another expensive mistake is not having a clear understanding of Quality Score or QS. There's a misconception with PPC that the higher the bid, the more leads will be generated but that's never been the case. The reality is that the positioning of your ad is dependent on the QS and if it's not up to par, you'll be wasting your AdWords spend. Google is all about improving its user experience at the moment and they are constantly changing the goal posts when it comes to quality control. If your ad isn't up to scratch, they'll still take your money but you can expect a very poor result.
There is considerable online saturation in the property sector which is why a strong PPC marketing strategy can make a significant difference. You can reliably manage your advertising budget by establishing clear objectives for each campaign together with a target marketing ROI. Then you can maximize the value of your advertising spend with optimized PPC ads that usually realize a better conversion rate.
There are more opportunities for PPC advertising within the property market emerging all the time; each method providing you with a platform to deliver your marketing messages to finely-targeted audiences. Because there's a cost implication it's vital that you have a PPC strategy that delivers measurable results for each individual campaign and that should be clearly visible in your bottom line figure.

MADISON, Wis. (6/13/14)--Numbering 21 million, Hispanic-Americans make up about 21% of the millennial population; certainly a demographic with buying power, and one credit unions must focus on to remain competitive in the market.
A report by eMarketer, a digital marketing research firm, recently dug into just how much buying power Hispanic millennials in the United States have.
Apparently, they carry more than previous generations of Hispanic-Americans, according to Stephen Amendt, digital service manager at EC Hispanic Media.
"Their buying power often surpasses that of older Hispanic adults," Amendt said. "We see that reflected in the different ads that they view--especially in the automotive sector. We see them interested in buying newer cars than their parents are interested in."
But it's not only older generations who Hispanic millennials outspend. Despite earning less than non-Hispanic whites on average, Hispanic millennials spend 10% more.
That trend may only increase, as Hispanics now pursue higher education at a faster clip than non-Hispanic whites, with 49% of Hispanics enrolled in higher education compared with 47.2% of non-Hispanic whites.
Other findings in the report that credit unions should note, meanwhile, were that Hispanics have taken to mobile technology just as much as other demographics.
The reason? Privacy, and independence.
"There's often one computer at home shared by the entire family," said Nancy Tellet, senior vice president of research and consumer insights at Viacom's Tr3s Digital. "They don't want to wait in line to get on the computer. And privacy, you don't want someone else to see what you're doing. If it's a shared computer, that's hard to avoid. To them, smartphones are a form of digital independence."
And with those mobile devices, Hispanic millennials are participating in social media networks at a high rate as well. Nearly 85% of Hispanic Internet users between the age of 18 and 29 use Facebook, Twitter or some other social networking site.
This trend is especially apparent when comparing social media activity during award shows, which often attract high rates of social media use.
"You can't compare the number of tweets from the Academy Awards to the Latin Grammys because the audiences are different, but if you divide tweets by audience, our viewers are significantly more prone to tweeting than non-Hispanics," said Roberto Ruiz, senior vice president of Univision Communications.

Slow shutdown/booting, network connection problem, And McAfee
I have been experiencing slow shutdown (11~20 min) and booting (5 or more min) issues since last month. Also my laptop constantly failed to connect to the wireless network since more than a year ago.
I read from the internet that McAfee could be the source of all the problems. So I tried msconfig, selective startup, and disabled only McAfee programs. Then did the shutdown and reboot and it worked much faster. Wireless connection instantly worked also.
So I wanted to ask if I should remove McAfee from my laptop or are there any ways to fix McAfee to work properly.
And my father is the one who is registered into McAfee and my sister and I are using it. If I remove McAfee on my laptop would it affect their computers too? So far I am the only one who's having these problems.
If I were to remove McAfee, can I do it on selective startup mode (McAfee disabled)?
I read that I should download MSE or other AV on my computer before removing McAfee since it's dangerous to use internet while no AV running. Would that make any conflicting problems? I have Malwarebytes free version already. It does not provide realtime security scanner though.

Windows 7 Ult. x64
I read that I should download MSE or other AV on my computer before removing McAfee since it's dangerous to use internet while no AV running. Would that make any conflicting problems? I have Malwarebytes free version already. It does not provide realtime security scanner though.
1. Download MSE and have it ready for installation - do not install it yet.
2. Uninstall MaCrappy using this :
McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool Download
3. Now immediately install MSE and update.
MSE and Malwarebytes will not conflict with one another. The time between uninstalling McCrapee and installing MSE will be very small - you don't need to worry about not being protected for such a small time, besides you have Malwarebytes covering you there.
After that, check your startup times and report back.

Sweat: 1%

Hi everyone! It has been a while! I have loads of food-related blogpost to do after this one because I have been cooking (OBVIOUSLY!). I promise I will upload more often! Anyways, few days ago, a BIG AND TALL Christmas tree was delivered to my flat. I was shocked because I was not expecting it. It was a surprise from my boyfriend. Since I had not done any Christmas decor shopping this year, I had nothing to decorate my tree but let it sit naked in my living room. OH, wait! I did have one BIG Christmas ornament that I picked up from Paperchase a couple of years ago so I excitedly put it on. But that was it. I did not want to spend money on decorations this year because I had already spent WAY TOO MUCH money on Christmas presents and presents for my boyfriend's 30th birthday (not until next January). Having said that, I thought it would be too sad to see my LONELY AND ALMOST NAKED tree greeting me on Christmas day. At that very moment, I came across a DIY Rose Decor Lamp and Lantern video on YouTube and bang! I knew what I could do - some handmade tissue roses on my tree perhaps? Oh yeah baby!
When I got my hands on them, I realised tissue roses were actually incredibly easy to do. Each of the roses might look different but I believe that was the beauty of handmade. I chose pink tissue paper because this was only part 1 of my DIY project. I would be getting a Styrofoam ball to go along with these roses, and a candle stand and a plate perhaps? You may be wondering 'what the heck am I going to do?' Well in that case, I will let your curiosity linger around for a little longer. Come back and check on my blog to find out. Fingers-crossed my idea will work and when it has I will be able to show you. I am hoping to do it before the end of this year.
If you are interested in making them yourself, please click the video below which features a step by step guide. HOORAY! This is indeed my very first video. I will try to do more in the future. Happy crafting!

... preserve, protect, and defend ...
Over the Christmas-New Year's holiday break, I was in Washington, DC for a few days. I went around the Mall and enjoyed various collections at the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, and had a generally great time.
As I was leaving the National Museum of African Art in the late afternoon, I was looking for something to do in about an hour before everything closed at 5:30 p.m. Looking across the Mall, I saw the building of the National Archives, which is the home of the Constitution of the United States, Declaration of Independence, and other historic documents.
So I headed over and was very excited to look at the exact part of the Constitution that George Bush violated! It's in Article II, Section 3, reading in part that the President of the United States "shall take care that the Laws be faithfully executed. In the picture, it starts about three lines above the "t" in "Article III."(Sorry it's a bit blurry--they understandably don't want people taking photos of it with flash.)
Wouldn't it have been easier to just follow the law in getting warrants for domestic spying? Oh, it's too urgent? How about getting warrants up to 72 hours retroactively? Think they might deny it? Think again. They only have denied four requests since 1979, out of thousands that have been requested. So no. It was not a good idea to start the program. To defend and continue it is not only stupid, it's probably criminal. But don't take my word for it: read what the members of the court which was specifically created to deal with this have to say. But isn't 50 USC 1801 et seq clear enough? The rule of law is our great strength, not some obstruction to be circumvented.

Looking for a Fair Cloud Mining: Is HashFlare Legit?
So, what is HashFlare? It is a cloudmining service with a wide range of contracts for various types of customers. The number of algorithms this company offers is quite impressive. This HashFlare.io review will tell you more about the entire working process of the company and its greatest benefits. So, is HashFlare legit or scam? Let's see.
About the Company
HashFlare is on the cloudmining market since 2014. At this moment, it is one of the largest mining companies with a large mining farm. The main goal of its developers is to give access to the Cryptocurrency world to all. And for lots of people, HashFlare is the best chance to try making money this most modern way.
Any HashFlare.io review will tell you that the company allows its customers to start with the lowest entry price possible. People are offered with various types of computer powers (hashpowers) to satisfy their mining needs without the need to buy expensive equipment. The contract lasts for some certain period of time according to its price.
The trick is that the more hashpower you own, the larger your income is. It is like you are buying powers to work and keep all the profits. Then, of course, you need to extend your rental. Besides that, there are some fees provided. But, due to various testimonials, they are fair and without any hidden points.
HashFlare Pools
The mining process is automatic and starts immediately after HashFlare receives your money. There are five main HashFlare pools you can choose from:
- SHA-256 – 1 year – TH/s
- ETHASH (Ethereum) – 1 year – MH/s
- EQUIHASH (ZCash) – 1 year – MH/s
- X11 (Dash) – 1 year – MH/s
- Scrypt – 1 year – MH/s
Each pool has its own price and benefits you can learn more about on HashFlare official website. The lowest price starts from $2.00 for ZCash algorithm miner. The most expensive is $7.50 for Script algorithm.
HashFlare Tutorial
Before you start mining, you should register your private account on HashFlare official website and set settings. And myHashFlare review is here to teach you how to do it.
Register an account
First of all, you need to enter Hashflare.io and register your own account there. The entire process is very simple. The interface of the website is quite simple and user-friendly. Besides, it is multilingual and counts more than ten various languages. It will take you just a few minutes to complete.
Start with the dashboard and enter your email address. Then proceed with security requirements and just using the program. You will see your BTC balance there. It is the sum you can withdraw anytime you want. And what it is even more exciting about HashFlare is that you can reinvest your earned money back into mining. But note that it is possible for SHA-256 and Scrypt algorithms only.
Also, there will be a proper balance for the coin you are mining along with the analytics of your potential profit due to your hashpower. Newcomers have zero balance and should purchase hashpower first using Buy Hashrate button.
Hashrate at Hashflare
There is nothing too complicated about the process of buying hashrates at HashFlare. Just choose the proper amount of hashrates you are going to purchase.
Note that SHA256 and SCRYPT pools charge a special maintenance fee. But these are totally affordable and reasonable fees due to those two pools complexity. The revenue indicator will show you the price without charging those two fees, so keep in mind those sums before withdrawing your money. At the same time, Ethereum, ZCash, and Dash do not require any additional fees at all.
Then after choosing your hashpowers you can proceed with the payment. This is the last stage of completing your order. You can also enter your promo or discount code here. Just click on the Redeem code button.
The number of paying methods is more than satisfying. You can choose from wire transfer, Bitcoin, credit card, Emercoin, Webmoney, and Payeer. And, of course, you can use your private balance for payment. HashFlare is one of those great companies that start customer's cloudmining immediately after they receive payments. You need to wait 24 hours for the first payout.
According to this info, users' testimonials, and their experience, HashFlare no scam at all. It is fair and reasonable without any hidden fees or something like that. The company exists since 2014, and this age is enough to build strong recommendations and trust among cloudmining enthusiasts. One should note that payouts at HashFlare are fast as lightning and extremely smooth. Besides, a low entry price would be a great benefit point for all those people out there who still are afraid of Cryptocurrency and don't want to risk too much.

An article for the St. Simon's NV Renewal Mission Newsletter
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 ESV
Because I became a Christian quite late in life I understand the transformation that happens "by the renewal of your mind". Along my seeker's journey I investigated many spiritual paths and philosophies, and accumulated many thoughts and beliefs that were not in line with God's will for my life. In the early days of my walk with Christ I was not willing to lay down some of these beliefs, even when they were questioned by my spiritual elders. They made sense to me. However, as the life Christ grew within me - and especially after being baptized in the Holy Spirit - my thoughts and beliefs began to come more into alignment the Word of God. Not because of any argument or debate with members of my church, but because I was continually surrendering my life to God and being counselled by the Holy Spirit.
Seeking the renewal of the mind is crucial for every Christian whether we've grown up in the church or not. As sadly evidenced in the Anglican/Episcopal Church in North America, believers can be influenced and even led astray by ideas and beliefs that are not in line with God's Word. Renewal is the work of the Holy Spirit who wants to continually come in and fill us up with the life of Christ, renewing our minds and giving us God's perspective on life. Renewal enables us to discern the "good and acceptable and perfect" will of God so that we cannot be easily led astray by worldly ideas and ungodly philosophies. When we are truly aligned with God's will and our thoughts line up with His Word, we no longer live in a way that conforms to the world. Our lives and relationships demonstrate that we are different, and the transformation is apparent to those around us. We become more concerned about the needs and lives of others and we become "fishers of men," concerned with catching human fish for the Kingdom of God because we have and know God's heart and God's thoughts toward people. As the Bible tells us in 2 Peter 3:9, it is God's desire that none should perish, but that all people should turn to Him.
I pray that St. Simon's Renewal Mission 2009 will be a time of seeking the renewal of the mind that God, through the Holy Spirit, wants to bring. I pray that our hearts will be set ablaze with the love and the compassion of God's own heart and that we would passionately seek opportunities to bring others into His presence so they may know His love. May we be transformed as individuals, and as a church, and may our hearts and attitudes become the same as Christ's.
(I will happily forward the brochure for the upcoming Renewal Mission March 20-22, 2009 at St. Simon's Church NV and Harvest City Church to anyone who is interested. Just send me an email to request it.)
