Renowned Nigerian hairstylist, Oluwatobiloba Ogunbiyi of Tobbiestouch has shared the story of how his parents reconciled after 11 long years of estrangement.
The entrepreneur, who just celebrated his 30th birthday, shared this pic of his parents and shared their story:
PLEASE READ: ABOUT THE BEST 30TH BIRTHDAY GIFT GOD GAVE ME THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY #tobbieis30 🙌:
"Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can't always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith". My whole world came crashing when my parent broke up 11years ago (2005) . I felt I lost it all when they got divorced officially in 2010….my worst nightmare😥
My heart bled , I felt so lonely in this world , i had to hustle for survival even when I was in the university (I was a bus conductor and also a fish seller)…just to make some money to pay my school fee😢 But thank God for my talent (hair styling) which I learnt from YOU TUBE! ..YES, I LEARNT HAIR STYLING ONLINE…I survived and graduated from university🙌
My parent became cat and rat when they broke up so you can imagine how tough it was for me!
Fast forward to the day I took my parent to my very own house 🙏they had their first eye contact after years of separation and the devil was put to shame.💃 TO GOD BE THE GLORY, MY PARENT ARE BACK💃💃💃💃 ..This is their first picture together after over 11 years.. Right inside my very own house.
It indeed is the best birthday gift ever…

Blue light bandit sought in Sampson County
Blue light bandit sought in Sampson County
For the second time in a month, the Sampson County Sheriff's Office is warning motorists of a blue light bandit who attempted to stop a woman's vehicle.
The sheriff's office said the woman was traveling in the southern portion of the county Sunday night when a vehicle with blue and red flashing lights in its grille tried to stop her car. A statement said the woman was suspicious, so she turned on her emergency flashers and called 911.
A 911 dispatcher confirmed that a deputy sheriff was not following her.
In October, 21-year-old Matthew Flores Arelleno of Newton Grove was charged with two counts of illegally operating a blue light after authorities said he tried to stop two women on a road near town.

Yesterday I gave a talk at a seminar at Mediaplaza about the cooperation between a community and commercial ventures. To prepare, I conducted an interesting interview with Till Adams from KDAB, contacted Qt Software and read up on some stuff. I must say I enjoyed taking time to really prepare this talk and dive a bit into the subject.
The way KDAB and Nokia/Qt Software work with us is very interesting - they strongly believe in close collaboration, and act accordingly. Great examples of good FOSS citizenship.
I did have a hard time complying to the 30 minutes schedule. I normally talk about KDE for 45 minutes. Now I had to introduce KDE in <15 min to this rather 'green' audience, and then talk about the cooperation between company/community. Interesting challenge, but I think I did a decent job at it.
The amazing pictures created by the KDE India community were incredibly tempting, but I had to resist. Talking about the pillars themselves would take too much time. Would've been too technical as well, I suppose. I did mention Nepomuk and Phonon, but that's because they are cool examples of cooperation of KDE and other organisations. I will use those for my future slides, though, as they're just stunning.
BTW the talk I gave last week at Linuxworld in Utrecht was nice, as I got some intestesting feedback. Still have to think more about that, and integrate it in my future talks. One good point somebody made: yeah, KDE created this great architecture to be able to move faster & incorporate more user input. But currently, many users don't feel KDE is listening. Others agreed with him, so this isn't something we can cast aside. Of course we know why this is - we already KNOW (mostly) where the issues are, and we ARE listening - we're just not always replying to their questions, bugreports and comments...
The distributions shiping stuff we don't think is fully ready for the enduser (everything after KDE 3.5.x and before 4.2) didn't help us much either. They had good reasons for that, of course. Many users wanted to see KDE 4.0, and distributions had to spend a lot of resources on shipping both 3.5 and 4. The unfortunate effect was that many users lost precious features compared to their previous desktop, and the switch didn't go smooth either. But seeing how much time for example the Plasma team has spend on doing what the users requested from them (delaying the cool stuff they'd probably rather be doing) makes clear this is an issue with how we are percieved. Not how we are.
I wouldn't know how to solve this in our communication. Maybe we should just let KDE 4.2 talk for itself...
Anyway. I'll try to get the presentation in KDE SVN as soon as I can. Just in case anybody wants to see it asap, send me an email... firstnamelastname at kde.org should do the trick.

In my other blog, I really always rant about how much I semi-hate Bonifacio global city buses, but in truth, I love Bonifacio Global City very, very freakin much. (Light bulb moment) I probably should write a post with photos regarding this so called love, but that would be for later.
Anyway, one of the reasons why I love working here in BGC, though it's so far, is the food! There's food everywhere... Also, aside from the usual fast food chains, there are a lot of restaurants that pop up which boldly cater to unique tastes, like Cha Time, Florings, the Guac Truck, Singaporean restaurant beside Chatime, Kitchen's Best Cakes (which are the awesomest), etc.
Also, one of my favorite dessert places is the very successful Cupcakes by Sonja... which is wildly popular because of its 'cult following'. I think customers make it a point to share in FB or twitter that they ate here. Some even include photos of the beloved cupcakes or of themselves eating 'em. My favorite part when I go to Sonja's is whenever I open the door of the store and I begin to be enveloped by the aroma inside. It's like lazy Saturday afternoons with my mom who loves to bake. Back when she liked to bake. Not that I'm saying she can bake, as well hahaha. Anyway, I also think the biggest reason for Sonja's success is still, of course, the CUPCAKES. They are heavenly, soft, reasonably priced. I have not found any cupcake that would match hers. I am not really a food critic so I am not sure what would be a great way to describe great cupcakes, but yeah, they're pretty great.
One thing to note though when eating there for the first time is that the cupcakes are best eaten in the store, on the tables set outside, with a fork and on a saucer. You might think this is silly to actually use utensils for a small cuppycake, but this way, you will be able to slowly savor the cupcake. If you eat it by just biting on it, you will be overwhelmed with the sweetness and you will also be "hinayang" that your 60-peso (to 100-peso) cupcake will be devoured in seconds. No, I say, sit down on the table, and savor the cupcake.
Also, be adventurous with your choices. My favorites are Chocolate Surprise (haha not so adventurous) and Red Velvet Vixen. I'm not a big fan of the Lemon Drop. I just hope some of the other cupcake flavors are available when i visit next time since not everything in the menu is available on the store in one day. I'm checking the site now and ooh, FlufferNutter looks interesting... (hmmmmmmmm)..
Oh well, okay. I probably should pass by there later on the way to Market Market. Or maybe not, depends on how much i'm trying to stick to my diet.
Have a sweet day!,
PS. I am not getting paid for this. okay.

I've been looking for a way to use the external display only on my MacBook for a long while. There are a few workarounds online but, to me, all have dealbreaking disadvantages.
First, there's the "as it was supposed to be" clamshell mode. This means you have to hook up the display, close the lid and things will magically work. Well, it's not that easy. It turns out you have to have your laptop charger plugged in. And no, you can't get clever on it - if you unplug the charger while the lid is closed and you are hacking away on your external display, the laptop will go to sleep. Besides, keeping the lid closed has a significant impact on heat dissipation. Overall, no go.
OK, so we want to have the lid open. Well, there's a hack online that suggests using some boot args / nvram magic that disables the display entirely. This means you have to reboot when you need this functionality. Then, if you want to restore things, you need to change the args back and reboot again. Oh, and if you forget to do this and the display is not attached - no worries, you can simply reset your laptop's PRAM. Hmm.. I think I'll pass.
Setting my frustrations with the current solutions aside, here's a hack that I have discovered to work:
- download and run the awesome DisableMonitor app. (@Eun, thanks a lot for writing this!)
- plug in your external display
- you should now have an extended desktop setup
- go to the system status bar, and using the
DisableMonitoricon, set the resolution of the laptop screen to the resolution of the external display
- go to
System Preferences > Displaysand enable display mirroring
- you should now see the same stuff on both displays, with things looking most probably funky on the laptop display - that's fine, you won't need it
- turn down the laptop display brightness all the way (i.e. shut it off)
Good, we got to where we wanted - using the external display only. But the win is here: if you unplug the external display, the laptop display will come back on with the proper resolution set. And if you plug the external display back in, the settings you made earlier will be restored (you only have to turn down the brightness on the laptop).
I know it's not perfect, but this is as close as I managed to get towards the holy grail of running my MacBook on the external display only. Let me know if you know a better way!

We started with a low impact routine - marching and side-stepping for 5 minutes. Just as I was warming up to the easy peasy routine, the instructor shouted, "Double punch and high kick!". Before I knew it, everyone's doing the Thai kick-boxing thingy; punching, bobbing, weaving, side-kicking, elbowing and ducking. KA-POW! Fueled by the energy around me, I too joined in the fun and started kicking my way through the workout. There were times I was in a blur, especially when the steps involved a lot of hand-legs coordination, but I didn't let that bother me. I applied the hentam attitude and weaved my way through KO.
After 40 minutes of kicking and punching, I couldn't help but feel like a super-hero woman armed with deadly kickboxing skills. Yeah, I was having a moment there. Too much blood pumping in your veins does stuff to you. We continued for another 10 minutes before we did some cool-down stretches. At the end of the session, I was sweating like a pig but I didn't feel I was working as hard as I had been in the BAT classes. I didn't feel the usual burning sensation in my muscles or leg cramps etc. I don't know. Maybe it's because of the banana I ate before the workout (cos I read somewhere that eating bananas before a workout gives you extra fuel), or maybe my stamina has increased a little, OR maybe it's because I could let go of all the academic work+babysitting+house chores related stress by punching, kicking, bobbing and saying HAI-YA without appearing like a loonie. Yeah, I guess that's it. KO Extreme is perfect for me.

2.785% For 30 YR FHA Fixed Loan! Unbelievable!
For months, I've been bragging about my 3.25% mortgage and I needed to do a 10 year mortgage to get this rate. Today's deal blows that out of the water.
So my friends, if you're on the fence about buying, now is a great time. If you're on the fence about selling, these low, low rates will make it a great time to sell. And if you're on the fence about staying put, consider refinancing.
I'm taking new clients now, so don't hesitate to call. 756-7457 is my office number.

Moving Back Home
About 60 days ago we received a full price offer on my lovely colonial located in the quaint village of Wyoming. Because Wyoming is such a small community, the sellers got to meet the buyers and everybody was excited about the anticipated closing date.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, the sellers knocked on the door of the buyers to see if they wanted their lawnmower and some furniture. Although they were pretty certain they were home (this is just down the street from where the sellers live)but no one would answer the door.
That weekend the sellers rented a u-haul and moved out about half of their furnishings. The next weekend they finished the job. Since this family has three small children under the age of 4 and both parents work full time, it was not an easy endeavor.
Long story short, it took lots of phone calls to the buyer's agent, the buyer's attorney and even the buyer's loan officer but it eventually became apparent that the buyer's didn't have the money necessary to close. Without a doubt, that was a disappointment. But what is infuriating is that everyone on the buyer's side knew this and didn't tell the seller's side until the day of the scheduled closing. And so my sellers are moving back home.
This is a lovely home, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths. It will be open this Sunday, October 30th, 1 till 4 pm which just happens to be the Appleumpkin Fall Arts and Craft Festival. The address is 60 Main Street and the price is $99,900. Here is a slide show about the property. http://www.photoshow.com/maker/share/Pv7Uw3zx

Real Estate in the Netherlands
I spent the day yesterday with a delightful couple considering relocating from the Netherlands to Rochester, NY. We spent the day visiting Fairport and Canandaigua and next week we will be viewing properties in Irondequoit, Rochester and Brighton.
I couldn't resist the urge to ask about how houses in Rochester differ from those in the Netherlands and was quite interested in their answers. They live near the coast and the area is quite densely populated. As a result, much of the housing is row houses. They live in a modern house, built in the 1980's, yet one of the most striking differences is it was built with no closets. Most clothing is stored in armories and other furniture and when new clothing is purchased, old clothing is given away. Basically, Europeans just don't have as much 'stuff' as Americans.
While my clients are looking for an attractive and well maintained home, their interest is all about the view. In the Netherlands, there are miles and miles bicycle and walking paths and lots of parks and gardens. As they looked at houses in the Rochester area, they went from room to room to look out the windows and take in the view. So far, their most favorable reaction was to a condo along the Erie Canal but we'll see what next week brings.
In the Netherlands, the housing market is still suffering from the 2008 global mortgage meltdown and house prices are again dropping after a modest increase in 2010. They were delighted to see how strong the Rochester market is.

MSc Candidate
Department of Earth Sciences
University of Bristol
S.B., Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, 2006
Marshall Scholarship Recipient, 2006-2008
Thesis Project
: Basal Archosaur Phylogeny and Evolution
(M.J. Benton, G. Lloyd, and M. Ruta, advisors)
I am currently a graduate student in the University of Bristol's one-year MSc in Palaeobiology. Previously I was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, where I worked closely with
Paul Sereno
on the anatomy, evolution, systematics, and phylogeny of theropod dinosaurs. This work included the description of three new Early-middle Cretaceous African theropods, as well as a reappraisal of allosauroid and tyrannosauroid phylogeny. I have also worked on Carboniferous brachiopods, Paleozoic chondrichthyans, and taxonomic databases.
My current research interests are varied. My MSc thesis focuses on basal archosaur phylogeny and evolution. Specifically, I am critically analyzing published datasets, compiling a solid character list, examining methodological issues of coding multiple suprageneric OTUs, and looking at the completeness of the basal archosaur fossil record and its implications for biogeography. This work is being conducted with
Mike Benton
. On the side, I am also continuing my work on dinosaur phylogeny and systematics, particularly European basal tetanuran theropods.
I have done extensive geological and palaeontological fieldwork, including several trips to the Morrison and Hell Creek Formations of Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming, United States, as well as one month exploring Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks in Tibet. For several years I have also led a small project focusing on the Pennsylvanian marine fossils near my home in central Illinois.

IGN - PlayStation. Does the word send a chill down your spine? Does it caress your senses with wave upon wave of irresistible pleasure? No? Do you like PlayStation? Then you're certainly in the right place. Welcome to Podcast Beyond, your link to the IGN crew that pushes news, opinions and utter hilarity straight to your ears (and subsequently, your brain).
Sony's PS4 reveal was good but forgettable and did not have much impact on the gaming industry...Sony will try to steal some of MS thunder by revealing GT 6 for the PS3 and Vita but dont think anyone outside the PS fanbase will care.
I am not sure if it is the 1 million rumor articles that have been posted on N4G about the 720 or the fact that we know nothing official about the nextbox, but the hype level for the next gen XBOX is over 9000!
On May 21 you can either gloat with happiness and excitement or you can moan and jump out of a window with hatred.
ps4 had some considerable thunder considering its reveal was 3 months ago. it's natural for hype to die but I think the reveal made a lasting impression. now it's time fir MS to shine and get there thunder rolling
Can thunder be stolen this long after the event? I've always thought of stealing someone's thunder as an almost simultaneous event, or at least very soon after, that detracts from whatever they did or said.
gaming media if you can call them that always says crap to get hits.
PS4 has thunder that amounts to anything? people know very little about Sony's PS4 offerings and nothing about the Xbox and MSFT's plans for it.
This is the calm before the storm and the storm gets here in 7 days and won't move on until after next gen consoles launch. PS4 reveal was nothing more than people smelling the rain in the air wondering if it's going to rain.
Any hype PS4 had has more to do with the notion of superior consoles bringing next gen than what Sony actually showed or boasted about. Current gen hardware had the media craving something new hense the little hype PS4 got until the media focused on the 720 soon after the PS4 reveal(almost the entire time inbetween)
In 7 days things will get real...
Until people actually see two finished consoles with finished features, system software, hardware capability, services and price and release date hype in any given time before what I said above doesn't amount to horse dung...
Some console companies have been known to consistently exaggerate console capability and offerings so real world hype "thunder" is T.B.D.
More stories over an unannounced console from the media than a announced one, even getting more attention on a pro Sony site than PS4. N4G's community seeking out xbox news they can use for damage control and blocks and censors the good articles. People wan't to see what the consoles can offer in detail and can careless about issues or topics exaggerated by folks on forums with agendas

THE MAKING OF MIA — Buy it here
When Jo Hill lands a job as a PA at Gloss magazine, she thinks it's the job of her dreams. But it soon turns into a nightmare. As a mousy secretary with a penchant for giant bags of maltesers and comfy shoes, Jo doesn't exactly fit in at the uber-chic office. Her boss humiliates her; her colleagues bitch about her; even the receptionist ignores her. At first, Jo's not sure why – is it her hair, her figure, her clothes? Then she realises it's pretty much all of the above and that she'll never be like the sleek, glamorous girls flitting round the office in their Sass & Bide jeans and Gucci mules. Or will she? Jo might be overweight and overlooked, but she's different in other ways too. She's bright, ambitious and smart, and what's more, she has a plan. Reduced to tears for the umpteenth time by her boss – the gorgeous but vicious magazine publisher Joshua Garnet – Jo knows it's time for drastic action. She's had it with magazines and knows that 'discovering a whole new you' takes more than a manicure and a new MAC blusher. Jo's going to give herself the ultimate make-over and by the time she's finished, the magazine world – and Joshua – won't know what's hit them. Goodbye Jo, hello Mia – magazine diva extraordinaire.

Has anyone ever made a ginger salt? I was thinking of making a few flavored salts as a gift. I am doing one with rosemary and thyme and one with citrus. The recipient loves ginger...do you think this would work with fresh ginger? Or would it need to be dried? Any other interesting combinations I could try?
I don't know about the Ginger salt. But I like the idea.
I make a Sriracha salt: 5t of Sriracha to 1/2 cup of kosher salt. Mix well..and spread on foil or parchment.
Into a 300 degree oven; then turn off the oven and let it dry a few hours or overnight.
It'll clump up so you have bag and smash it back to salt texture. Good for salting the rim of a bloody merry. Or on fish as a finishing salt.
Another one I love on popcorn or chips requires a special product "True Lime" http://www.truelemon.com/store-locator.html
It's a crystallized lime powder (they also sell citrus and lemon).
A couple of table spoons of Kosher salt---grind to dust in a coffee grinder and mix with:
4 packets of True Lime
1 tsp of paprika, and ginger powder (more ginger if you like it!)
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
a touch of cumin, and white pepper. (adjust for heat to taste).
The salt rinses out of the coffee grinder well...you put in the spices after the salt is ground to dust.
This is great on popcorn.
It may need a stabilizer for long term storage; maybe a 1/2 tsp of cornstarch.
Last night at the onsen (hot springs) they served matcha salt. This is about the third time I've had it lately. Seems to be served with tempura-- in place of the traditional dashi/ grated daikon oroshi. Extremely simple-- equal parts of matcha tea and sea salt.
I also like the idea of ginger salt, but don't know what would work best. Let us know....
Penzey's makes a lemon-ginger salt, which I use often on vegetables or meats. I suspect that they use dried ginger--wouldn't fresh ginger add too much moisture?
I frequently candy ginger, and coat the hot, sticky, candied ginger in sugar (stay with me -- promise this is relevant). Once it all cools and I've pulled out all the pieces of ginger, there are still tiny pieces of ginger in the left-over sugar. I use this as a "ginger rimming sugar" for various cocktails, and it is also wonderful sprinkled over fresh fruit or ice cream. What I'm wondering, is if you could take that same product, replace some of the sugar with salt, and then have a sugar/salt ginger? (i.e., sweet and savory). Alternately, the same process results in lots of ginger syrup (which I use to sweeten ice tea, over ice cream -- seeing a theme? -- or in cocktails). You could take the ginger syrup and pour it over salt and bake (basically same process that Sam suggests for the siracha salt) with a different sweet/savory salt result. You know, I'm totally inspired! I have ginger syrup standing by, and will report back (but probably not until tomorrow).

Anyone who know me will know that before I was lured into the world of the End (or the End of the world) that my roots where in Mod and skinhead culture, Fred Perry's , Levi's and Air wear or smart suits and Loafers with a musical background of Ska, Soul, Northern Soul, reggae and the original Britpop of the Beatles and The Who and latterly The jam and Punk.
So I've now heard about this film Svengali and its being described as a sort of Trainspotting for Mods so I just need to go and see it as soon as possible!
we are the (scouse) mods! at the back are, (centre) the rt honourable Steven Rotheram (MP for Walton), To his left is Gary Allt (brother of Nicky) and to his right, yours truly, in Erics Dressing Room around 1979
To add to my desperate need to see it, it transpired that the film is written and and starring an old friend of The End , Jonathon Owens who (among other things) can be seen in the Casuals documentary giving credit to scousers for starting the terrace culture groove thang. Then, for the old skinhead in me, the film also stars the beautiful and amazing actress Vicky McClure who, again among other, excellent, things ) may be best known for her role as LOL in the This is England films…oh and one of my favourite comic actors, Matt Berry also appears!
The Film is getting its Merseyside outing Next week and will be being shown in New Brighton's "The Light" cinema for a week, starting Sunday 23rd March.
The open night will also be attended by Jonathon and other cast members (hopefully Vicky! *sigh*) and following the film the stars will be joined on stage for a question and answer session hosted by The End's ex writer and author of many excellent books (including, Awayday's, Stars are stars, Powder and The Killing Pool), Kevin Sampson. There may also be a sneaky after show party featuring the music from the film.
Kevin Sampson will be hosting the Q & A
Light Cinema, Kings Parade, Marine Point, New Brighton.14:30pm & 19:30pm (week starting 23rd March 2014)
Jonathon sent an exclusive message to The End;
"'I loved The End magazine. It was the Daddy of the them all. I used to help with the Merthyr Fanzine 'Dial M for Merthyr' which was created out of our love for The End. People say that the film 'Svengali' had the spirit of DIY Punk. Of working class lads getting out there and doing it. I'd like to think in some small way I'm following in the tradition of the End and what it meant to us all. They made us believe. There's no greater thing you can do God bless them for that'. Jonny Owen 2014. X
He has specifically asked us to help get the message out about Sundays Merseyside premiering of the film and is genuinely excited to be coming here!
The End fanzine would love to see you all there, including all the Liverpool scooter boys and Cloud 9 from over the water, for a brilliant night. (loads of photo's please!)
See you there.

text: Over-eating to blame for childhood obesity Toddler news News & Gossip 0 Study shows childhood obesity isn't due to lack of exercise Lack of exercise is not to blame for childhood obesity levels, a new study has suggested, reports the Telegraph. The research reckons over-eating and bad diets have more of an affect on childhood obesity levels than lack of exercise, as overweight children become less active as they get heavier. The study looked at 200 schoolchildren between the ages of 7 and 10 over a three-year period. It suggests junk food and over-eating at an early age are to blame, and says there is a very close link between parents and children when it comes to weight. In fact, children are 10 times more likely to be obese by the age of ten if their parents are overweight themselves. It was also found if children have a body fat 10% higher than the national average at aged 7, in later years they will reduce the amount of time spent doing exercise and activities. The research concluded that eating levels should be addressed rather than lack of physical exercise when it come to tackling childhood obesity. By Liz Stansfield 0 Comments Share Like this article?

Those of you that know me in real life can stop laughing now as yes, I do resemble the Cat Lady from The Simpsons on most occasions (nor do I care) but recent changes in my day job mean that I am going to have to bite the bullet and start dressing like a sensible adult. However, I hate with a passion most of the baggy, shapeless tents that pass for plus-sized clothes, plus I don't want to look like a corporate Stepford Wife. Is it possible to retain a bit of individuality and still toe the party line? I am going to give it a good try.
I have cut out the pattern this week for Simplicity 2339. This pattern is one from their "Amazing Fit" range which has different sized pattern pieces for A, B, C and D-cups. All well and good but a bit of a non-event for me as I still have to do a 4-inch FBA over and above the biggest size, plus a broad back adjustment. I am really taking my time doing the flat-pattern alterations and am using both my Fast Fit book from Sandra Betzina and the "Sew Busted" Maria Alto DVD to help with the FBA and lowering the bust dart. And people ask why I never make myself anything!
I actually have muslin to make a muslin up in. I am taking this really seriously as I would like to have some smart, well-fitting shirts for a change and a TNT pattern would be nice. However, I am not sure that my fabric choices are serious. First off on the left I have a lovely vintage cotton sheet, the fabric is beautiful, and on the right is some quilting cotton "Flea Market Fancy" from Westminster Fibres that I bought in John Lewis. I am hankering after polka dot button plackets and collar/cuffs with these but might just play it safe. The quilting cotton is quite thin so I thought it would be OK for a shirt. I will get the final adjustments cut out tomorrow night. Hope that it fits after all the changes.
Excuse me Miss but your shirt is sheet. Well! There's no need to be rude.
Fashionable? I don't give a hoot.

Kami K
Mukluks or Kamik (singular: kamak, plural: kamiit) are a soft boot traditionally made of reindeer skin or sealskin and were originally worn by Arctic aboriginal people, including the Inuit and Yupik. The term mukluk is often used for any soft boot designed for cold weather and modern designs are often similar to high-top athletic shoes. The word "mukluk" is of Yupik origin, from maklak, the bearded seal, while "kamik" is an Inuit word. In the Inuipiaq language the "u" makes an "oo" sound, and so the spelling "maklak" is used with the same pronunciation.

State of North Carolina
Rutherford County Jan of [?] 1818
The Court Granted a license to John Logan to retail spiritous liquor at his usual place of Residence for one year who paid this tax & Clerks fees 48/–
Witnessed Richard Lewis C.C.
By Isaac Craton D.C.
issued 2nd of Feb of 1818
Finally! Something with a little more detail! I have several different documents that discuss John Logan's business dealings with selling liquor. I came across a newspaper article from the November 11, 1838 edition of the Western Carolinian about a fire at Rutherfordton that:
"consumed one whole square, and the Public house of John Logan, Esq., on another, together with all the papers and Docket of the Court of Equity of the County."
I felt like an idiot when I didn't know what a Public house was. It's a "Pub", duh! There is also a court case, after his death where his sons John W. Logan and George W. Logan are suing over a thirty year lease on land for the purpose of mining gold. John Logan had made a verbal contract with Thomas Coggins:
"for the purchase of his interest in the metals on the premises, under the previous lease, for some small price, which was paid in a barrel of flour and seventy gallons of whisky; but that, after the mines had been found not to be worth working as aforesaid, Logan rescinded the contract with Coggins and took Coggin's bond for the value of the flour and whisky, and afterward received the money thereon."
Colonel Richard Lewis
The following is from "The Genealogy of the Lewis Family" 1892:
Colonel Richard Lewis, son of John and his wife, Sarah Taliaferro, was born in 1765, in Albemarle county, Virginia. He was upward of six feet high, with light hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. He emigrated to Rutherford county, North Carolina, with his father before the Revolutionary war, and was a saddler by trade. After the close of the Revolutionary war there were but four offices within the gift of the people of the county; three of those offices were conferred upon three of the Lewis brothers, viz.: Major John Lewis was elected Sheriff of the county; Charles Lewis was elected as Representative of the county in the State Legislature, and Colonel Richard Lewis was elected Clerk of the County Court. He was a member of the convention that revised the Constitution of North Carolina. He married Sarah Miller, daughter of General James Miller and his wife, Agnes Miller, in 1789. General Miller and his wife were cousins. They emigrated from Ireland to the United States. He was an officer in the Revolutionary war, and commanded at the siege of Augusta, Ga., as Captain or Colonel, and after the war he represented Rutherford county, North Carolina, as Senator in the State Legislature in 1782, 1781, 1785 and 1787. ( See Wheeler's History of North Carolina.)
General Miller raised only two daughters: Sarah, married Colonel Richard Lewis, and the other married James Erwin, of Rutherford county, North Carolina. Richard Lewis and his wife were members of the Methodist-Episcopal church. They finally moved from Rutherford county, North Carolina, and settled near Pendleton, S. C., on Seneca river, where he died in 1831, and she a few years afterward. Their remains were interred at the Stone church ( Hopewell), near Pendleton, S. C.
Colonel Richard Lewis and his wife, Sarah Miller, had nine children, viz.:
E 1. Mary Mansfield, married Hon. John McDowell, in 1810.
E 2. Lindamira, died single in 1838.
E 3. James Overton, married Mary Lawton, in 1822.
E 4. Nancy Elvira, married Joseph Van Shanklin, in 1820.
E 5. Richard Marins, died single.
E 6. John Earle, died single.
E 7. Sarah Ann, married Edwin Reese, in 1834.
E 8. Eliza Love, died single, and
E 9. Andrew Fielding, married Susan Sloan, in 1840.
Colonel Isaac Craton
Colonel Isaac Craton was a native of Guilford County who came to Rutherfordton about 1808, and had served with distinction as an officer in the War of 1812, and practiced law for several years in Rutherfordton. He married to Elizabeth Miller, daughter of John Miller and Susannah. They had five children, three sons and two daughters. One of their sons was Civil War Colonel, Marshall D. Craton. Isaac died when Marshal was just 2 years old (1831). Marshall was educated at Rutherford Academy, and at the age of 17 entered the United States Military Academy at West Point where he entered in June 1846.

1.You are a geneticist working for a firm that specializes in plant biotechnology. Explain what specific parts (fruit, seeds, stems, roots, etc.) of the following plants you would try to alter by genetic engineering, what changes you would try to make, and why, on corn, tomatoes, wheat and avocados
2.Only a few hundred of the hundreds of thousands of species in the plant kingdom have been domesticated for human use. One example is the almond. The domestic almond is nutritious and harmless, but its wild precursor can cause cyanide poisoning. The oak makes potentially nutritious seeds (acorns) that contain very bitter-tasting tannins. If we could breed the tannin out of acorns, they might become a delicacy. Why do you suppose we have failed to domesticate oaks?
While increased yields and improved nutritional value are among the promised benefits of transgenic crops, most genetically engineered crops now planted worldwide are designed either to:
1) Survive exposure to certain herbicides (called herbicide-tolerant crops)
2) Kill certain insect pests.
Genetically engineered herbicide-tolerant crops have been altered to withstand being sprayed with broad-spectrum herbicides, with the idea that one application will take care of most types of weeds without killing the crop. Insecticidal crops contain genes of the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). These genes cause the plants to produce a chemical toxic to the European corn borer, the cotton bollworm, and other caterpillars.
a) Corn. I would develop a way that when the corn is cook, it would be to cut of off the cob. Also have the husk a little bit firmer to prevent fungus from growing from within.
b) Tomatoes: I would block the natural gene that degrades the material in the tomato's cell wall which gives the tomato its firm quality so that the tomato would have...

PowerPC :: Ibook & Xtra Monitor Are Running SlowSep 27, 2009
I recently bought myself an Xtra monitor to hook up to my Ibook. I also used the hack to be able to split up the monitors to have full resolution of my new monitor.
but now my computer is running slower. somewhere in this forum I have found out that because of the hack my Ibook now has to work extra hard to be able to run on 2 monitors.
my question is, isn't there a way to be able to use my new monitor at full resolution and just shut of the original Ibook monitor? so my Ibook does not have to split up his memory? If I mirror them I Can't work on full resolution ...
somebody doing this?
Or... What do I do/buy/download that my Ibook can work on 2 monitors, but doesn't run slower.

Palm Beach, FL 6/18/12 (StreetBeat) – Liberty Gold Corp. (OTCBB: LBGO) is pleased to announce it has acquired a 60% interest* in the ~2,218-acreMcCord Creek Property gold project in central Alaska's Tolovana Mining District. Liberty Gold will be the project's operator.
The McCord Creek project is comprised of 14 State mining claims located 70 miles northwest of Fairbanks in the Tintina Gold Belt, which has produced nearly 30 million ounces (Moz) of gold to date[1] and has experienced accelerated gold exploration, development, and mining activity over the years.[2]
The McCord Creek property is also located within the eastern extension of the Livengood gold district, and immediately adjoins the eastern side of International Tower Hill Mines' (ITH) Livengood Property. The Money Knob deposit on ITH's Livengood Property represents a resource estimate of 20.6 Moz gold (16.5 Moz Measured & Indicated; 4.1 Moz Inferred),[3] making it one of the largest gold deposits discovered in 20 years.[2] To the southeast of the McCord Creek property is Kinross Gold's Fort Knox mine, which produces over $1 million of gold equivalent per day.[4] Also to the southeast is the Pogo mine, which produced 324,722 troy ounces of gold in 2011.[5]
According to a 2012 technical report by David Adams, B.S., M.S., CPG, Liberty Gold's McCord Creek property exhibits 5 gold-in-soil anomalous zones with the maximum soil value exceeding 100 ppb gold. The 2 largest anomalies lie within the same sedimentary and volcanic package of rocks that contain ITH's Money Knob deposit.[2] All anomalous zones warrant additional exploration to pursue a deposit of similar nature to the Money Knob deposit.
As such, the Company is currently developing an exploration plan to evaluate the prospect's mineral potential. A phased exploration approach involving at least 2 field seasons will be necessary to accomplish an evaluation of the prospect. The target for the McCord Creek property is a dispersed gold system similar to ITH's Money Knob deposit, and possibly a nickel-platinum disseminated deposit. A minimum target size for gold would be 3 to 5 Moz contained in a bulk tonnage grading in the order of 1 gram per tonne (gpt). The potential net present value (NPV) for geological exploration targets of this magnitude is in the order of $1B to $3B.[2]
To the immediate east of Liberty Gold's McCord Creek property, ITH has announced plans calling for drilling 3,000 meters in 10 core holes focused on making new gold deposit discoveries on their Livengood property, with results expected throughout the summer and fall of 2012.[3] ITH's planned initial exploration drill holes lie within ~1 to 2 miles of Liberty Gold's McCord Creek property.
Lynn Harrison, Liberty Gold's President and CEO, commented: "The McCord Creek Property acquisition has enabled us to effectively establish a presence in this proven region of Alaska. Now we can proceed to build on our knowledge of the property's full mineral potential through further exploration and development activities."

Richardson will take Stoll's place for Kingsby Curtis Zupke
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Lost in the wonder of the Los Angeles Kings' stomp through the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs was how healthy they stayed. Los Angeles basically used the same lineup, with the exception of injured forward Kyle Clifford.
This season is entirely different, and the latest adjustment will be the absence of center Jarret Stoll after he was knocked out of Game 1 of their Western Conference Semifinal series Tuesday night.
San Jose Sharks Raffi Torres delivered the hit and was scheduled for a hearing with the NHL.
Stoll presumably has an upper-body injury, and coach Darryl Sutter said Wednesday, "He's missing in action" and day-to-day. Asked if it's a long-term injury, Sutter said, "How long is the series?"
Game 2 is Thursday at Staples Center, and Game 7 is scheduled for May 28. The Kings lead 1-0 after a 2-0 win in Game 1.
Torres hit Stoll at the end of the second period. Stoll did not return to the game, and Torres received a charging penalty.
Sutter said, "I thought [the hit] was careless" and wouldn't comment on if he thought it was a suspendable offense.
"Who are we to even talk about that stuff?" Sutter said. "Totally leave it to the League and principals to look at those things. It's just frustrating to see that, that's all."
The Kings held an optional skate and those who were available claimed they hadn't seen replays of the hit.
"I think everyone in this room is probably not be happy about it and everyone over there in their room is OK with it," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. "It really is up to what the League thinks, and I'm not sure where that's at. As players, we just focus on playing."
Sutter said he will insert Brad Richardson into the lineup. The coach could move pieces around because Jeff Carter has played center.
Colin Fraser moved up and centered Stoll's line of Dustin Penner and Trevor Lewis in Game 1.
"We got good options," Sutter said. "Brad's a guy that's used to playing in our top nine, and we'll figure that out."
Richardson was a healthy scratch most of the regular season but played the final 14 games. The versatile forward added some offense with a goal and five assists. He played in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games last season and filled in when Carter had an ankle injury.
"If tomorrow I'm in, I'm going to bring the best game I can," Richardson said. "[Stoll] plays with [Penner] and [Lewis] so they're kind of the checking line, a lot of speed, a lot of straight lines, so that will be my main focus, using speed and trying to bring my best attributes."
Los Angeles' defense was hit with the loss of Willie Mitchell before the season, and of Matt Greene, who played the opener and final four games dealing with back surgery. Alec Martinez also missed time. On offense, Clifford was hurt in the first-round series against the St. Louis Blues.
Stoll's loss hits L.A. in several areas. He's a key faceoff center and a main piece of their penalty kill. He also plays on the power play. Without Stoll, the Kings lost 14 of 21 faceoffs in the third period of Game 1.
"He was a big part of [our] Stanley Cup [season]," Sutter said. "A really good centerman. A guy who plays minutes, plays special teams, so obviously our player is quite a bit more important than theirs.
"We primarily use four centermen and rotate wingers through, and we had to switch, and I think that did cause a little problem for us."
Los Angeles was outplayed for about 40 minutes in Game 1 but Jonathan Quick was sharp early and San Jose pointed to not making it difficult on the goalie, who made 16 of 35 saves in the third period.
Torres has a history, notably the 25-game suspension he received last season for his playoff hit that injured Marian Hossa of the Chicago Blackhawks (the suspension was reduced to 21 games). Torres and San Jose coach Todd McLellan each said after the game Tuesday they didn't think it warranted a penalty.
The Kings shooed away any notion this could change the complexion of the series. Sutter said, "We're clearly a team that's not going to lower ourselves to retribution."
Penner and Stoll played with Torres on the Edmonton Oilers. Penner drew a distinction between the Torres hit and Eric Gryba's two-game suspension for his hit on Lars Eller in the first-round series between the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens.
"This one was ... he probably didn't need to make that hit," Penner said. "That's where I see the difference."
Penner echoed Sutter that retribution won't distract the Kings.
"That's not going to be the case here," Penner said. "We're emotionally invested enough. We have a lot on the line. We want to defend our previous Stanley Cup, so we're not going to go looking for bulletin-board material. We don't need that type of motivation."
Brown said, "There's way to do it within the rules and ways to do it throughout a series within the rules, and that's what we have to do regardless of what happens. Again, it's playoffs and the best retribution is winning games right now."

Re: Funakogi Undo
Phi Truong
not spiritual thing. it's an internal power practice thing, if you know the details. same goes for funakogi undo. you can go through the motions which most folks do or work with some of the internal experts, and the information they will tell you on those things would make your head explodes.
Phi, Phi, Phi,
It's a dessert topping AND a floor wax!
Seriously, this is not an "either-or" or even a "both-and." The entire
is a complete mikkyo/sanmitsu practice in its own right, involving the training of the mind, body, and speech. These practices can be found in multiple lines of transmission, some more complete and some less complete. The "internal experts,"(or at least one of them, though I'm not in the endorsement business) have a wealth of key information on the body aspects of the practice that I have never encountered anywhere else. That said, I should also note that I have encountered orthodox Buddhist and folk shinto ritual specialists who have information on the speech and mind aspects of the practice that is comparatively rare and no less critical if one is approaching the set of exercises that make up the misogi-no-gyo as a complete practice with soteriological goals beyond the merely physical.
Each line of transmission seems to have emphasized some elements and de-emphasized others, in keeping with the interests and proclivities of the people in that line. While the internal power aspects really are quite amazing and valuable, in the long run, I would argue that those too are just flashy tricks in comparison to the deeper purposes of the training. (Of course, the long run may include many kalpas of cyclic existence.
Or maybe it just feels that way during the third set of reps of the last exercise in whatever routine you happen to be working, if you consulted with one of the IP guyz and followed his advice.)
Rev. Barrish of Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America has extensive experience with these practices in a fairly straightforward Shinto context; he sometimes posts here, and this might be a useful occasion for him to do so.

1: 1. Who is Paris? He is the guy that is marrying Juliet. He is also a count, and almost twice as old as her. And since hes a count he is very inportant. 2. In this scene what impression do we get of Lord Capulet? How does he feel about Juliet and marriage? My impression of Lord Capulet is that he is very old( older then Juliet) 3. How much power does Juliet have over her life? Why? I dont think she has any power in her life. She has a mother that is very powerful and doesnt have any say in what happens in her life or what anything like that.
2: 4. How does Peter, the Capulet's servant provide a comic relief in this scene? He can't read and he is very spastic. He also tells Romeo about the party becuase he doesnt realize he is talking to a Montague. He even gets mad at his boss for giving him a sheet to read about who to invite to the party and so he yells at him. 5. Why does Romeo decide to crash the Capulet's party? Does Shakespeare provide any foreshadowing? He wants to go because Rosaline will be there. We know that there is forshadowing beacuase
3: Act 1 Scene 3 1. How does Juliet feel about Marriage? She doesnt want to marry Count Paris. She wants to marry Romeo, but she will marry Paris if she has to. 2. Explain the Nurse She is very happy and often makes sick jokes. A nurse is like a maid. She makes jokes out of everything and she is fairly old.

Apparently Jonathan Ross, or Jonathan Woss as he refers to himself, wouldn't put this lulzy ditty on his Christmas TV show because he was scared The Sun would rally a lynch mob to pitchfork him to death upon hearing it. Also, Jonathan Woss would never do anything in poor taste that may offend anyone with delicate morals. (Grandfathers of gothic burlesque artists excepted, of course.)
Anyway, I think it's rather good, and so do half a million other people, if the views on this YouTube video which Tim uploaded 5 days ago are accurate. So perhaps Mr Woss was actually doing Tim a massive favour by creating the kind of controversy which he knew would peak the interest of the internet and attract more eyeballs than an appearance on late night UK TV ever could.
It's a Christmas

Atomic Hydrogen
Langmuir ,in 1915, obtained atomic hydrogen by dissociating on a hot filament of tungsten or platinum. The dissociation of molecular hydrogen is an endothermic process.
The atomic hydrogen is stable only for a fraction of a second and immediately reverts back to its molecular form, liberating a large amount of energy.
Atomic hydrogen is extremely reactive, being more reactive than ordinary, nascent, or adsorbed oxygen. When it is passed over metals or non-metals, it forms hydrides at normal temperatures, excepting for nitrogen, to which it does not react.Atomic hydrogen is an extremely powerful reducing agent, reducing oxides chlorides and sulphides of some metals like Ag, Hg, Cu etc. to metals at ordinary temperature.
Nascent Hydrogen
The hydrogen gas, which is just liberated as a result of a chemical is called nascent hydrogen or newly born hydrogen. It is obtained by passing dihydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure through an electric arc between two tungsten rods. The electric arc maintains a temperature around 4000 - 4500°C. As the molecules of dihydrogen gas pass through the electric arc, these absorb energy and get dissociated into atoms as nascent hydrogen. It is more reactive than ordinary hydrogen and its colour is not discharged. (pink in colour). For example, if ordinary hydrogen is passed through acidified KMnO4 it does not get decolourised. However, if zinc pieces are added to the same solution, bubbles of hydrogen rise up through the solution and the colour is discharged due to the reduction of KMnO4 by nascent hydrogen.

Dennis Prager said he's asking all who hold office to acknowledge the centrality of The Bible to American history, its "irreplaceable value." Tucker is obviously perplexed. What is Prager asking, that Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Democrat and Congressman-elect (the first Muslim ever to be so elected in the U.S.) who has voiced his intention to bring a Koran with him (not The Bible) to his swearing-in, not to be allowed to take his office? How does that differ from a "religious test" for office, which is forbidden by the Constitution? Prager responds, oh no! He's just saying that Ellison should be "pressured" to acknowledge the Bible as the foundation for American values by bringing a Bible as well as a Koran to his symbolic photo-op after taking his oath of office.
I listened to Prager's radio show this afternoon on my way to a meeting. The last thing I heard him say was, you tell me, doesn't this outrage you? I also heard wingnut Mike Gallagher this morning pick up on the same issue. He, too, was frothing at the mouth at the audacity of an American duly elected by his district to represent them in the House of Representatives, exercising his Constitutionally guaranteed right of religious freedom.
I was astonished at Prager's argument that even a practicing Jew, Hindu or atheist (to cite some of his examples) should be compelled to honor The Bible in their swearing-in. That strikes me as the most base of hypocrisies. The freedom to express our religious faith, or lack of it, was at the heart of the motivations for many of those who first established our nation. The very suggestion that a person should be compelled to publicly acknowledge the supremacy of a single religious document, though the one that above all else I personally revere, that they do not personally adhere to, is an abomination to us as Americans. And personally, as a Christian, it has been my lifelong challenge (though in fantasy) to imagine, would I have the courage to refuse any attempts, even unto death, to compel me to deny my Lord and my faith? I pray that I would not.
And I pray that I would not be party to any similar effort to compel someone of another religion to do so. It's distincly unAmerican and much more of a threat, as Prager characterized Ellison's intentions, to American tradition.

News story
Science Minister launches consultation on EU Framework Programme
The UK's performance has been strong in the current 2007-2013 iteration of the Framework Programme (known as FP7) - with researchers receiving…
The UK's performance has been strong in the current 2007-2013 iteration of the Framework Programme (known as FP7) - with researchers receiving €1.83 billion (£ 1.64 billion) of funding from the €12.7 billion (£11.37 billion) awarded to date.
The programme is expected to be worth a total of €50.5 billion (£45.2 billion) for the 2007-2013 period.
However, while there are high levels of participation from the UK's academic community, business participation is lower in comparison with France and Germany.
By developing a deeper understanding of the programme - the EU's main mechanism for funding research, technological development and demonstration - the UK can generate best value of the opportunities it offers.
Science Minister David Willetts said:
"UK universities, business and research centres have an excellent track record of winning grants from this important programme. So far, we've attracted more than £1.6 billion - second after Germany. Research, technology and innovation will play a key role in helping our economy to grow and it is vital that this initiative meets UK interests.
"We want to hear from those with first-hand experiences of this initiative - academics, researchers and particularly businesspeople - so that we better equip the UK to maximise on the opportunities on offer and strengthen our negotiating position in advance of the next Programme."
Recent UK projects which have won EU funding include:
- Professor Konstantin Novoselov at Manchester University, who was last week jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene", was awarded an €1.78m (£ 1.46m) ERC Starting Grant - part of FP7 - in 2007 for his project on the same material.
- Researchers, led by King's College London, have discovered a gene associated with myopia (nearsightedness) which could potentially make the condition a good candidate for gene repair. This work was supported by funding from the current programme - FP7 - as well as FP6 and FP5. Total project funding to all partners was €28.86m (£19.58 m).
- A new data transmission system has been developed by researchers led by the University of Southampton which could significantly improve transmission capacity and energy efficiency of the world's optical communication networks. PHASORS ('Phase sensitive amplifier systems and optical regenerators and their applications') project clinched total project funding of €2.7 m (£2.13m).
The Framework Programme aims to deliver a number of EU-wide benefits including economies of scale, the development of public goods such as low-carbon technologies and the creation of cross-European networks.
One of the issues that this consultation will explore is what would encourage more businesses involved in research and development to take advantage the framework programme's funding opportunities.
The call for evidence will go live on 13 October 2010 and will close 12 weeks later on 4 January 2011.

Printed copies of the consultation document can be obtained from BIS Publications via the orderline: 0845 015 0010.
FP7 grants are paid in Euros and amounts given in GB pounds (£) are approximate figures based on exchange rates prevailing at the start date of individual contracts.
FP7 currently funds the following broad areas of research:
- Cooperation: collaborative research projects involving universities and businesses from at least three countries.
- Ideas: projects driven by a single, highly-regarded "investigator" and funded through the European Research Council. These are often, but not necessarily, highly innovative "blue skies" research projects.
- People: a number of projects aimed at boosting researcher skills and mobility under the Marie Curie programme.
- Capacities: a numbers of programmes aimed at boosting the research capacity of Europe.
- The Joint Research Centre supports EU policy-making and delivery e.g. in nuclear and environmental science through a number of research centres.
